BILL ARF? Bartow ^Philosopher Old Coi Atlanta Ci Good, gentle old Sanford Bell, the faithful veteran of the bell cord, is ?ead. He was the oldest conduotor in tibe State-perhaps the oldest in long and continuous service in the United States, and maybe in the world. He was not a great man, but he was a true man, honest and faithful, and every j, faraveler respected him. I have known * him and traveled with him for forty years and always loved him, for he was patient and kind. He was firm ?nd did his duty, but without anger or rudeness. I never saw him out of good temper or unduly excited, but ?Uity was his watchword. No wonder he was kept in office from administra tion to administration, for railroad officials appreciate such men, and even when he became too infirm to swing around the curves, Mr. Thomas, that prince of railroad kings, gave him an easier berth, and saved money by it, for who could settle disputes over killed and damaged stock like Sanford. The people all along the line respected him and in most cases left the adjust ment to his sole judgment. Small lawyers ceased to fatten on small liti gation. "Sanford Bell says so," was the law and the verdict. "What a record for an unpretending man. My regard for these true and patient men increases with my years-these tried conductors, these engineers who day and night stand at the throttle and realize the responsibility that is upon them. Like the pilots on the great steamships, they are ever on the look out for danger. Their eyes seem to have grown nearer together and more searching from the strain of constant use in looking down the everchanging track. I feel like tipping. my hat to them all and saying God bless you and protect you, for my life is in your Ikands when I travel. If danger or disaster comes they receive the first ?hock, and oftentimes the last to (bern. \How thoughtless and uncon cerned we travelers ride with never a thought about the ergineerin whose hands we are. Sometimes we read of . a wreck and the telegram says : "En . gineer and fireman killed ; passengers all escaped." To,, any mind there is something grandly heroic in the call ings of these men who move the wheels and stop them ; these engineers and brakesmen who have no choice of time er weather. In the black and wintry light they must breast the storm. "Goodby wife, goodby mother, my lime is out." He kisses the children and is ol?. Not long ago I heard a joor, fond mother say : "My Tom is running on the railroad now and helps ns with his pay. He isa brakeman en a freight train, and it is a pretty lard place in bad weather, bat you know there are no easy places now." There are many kinds of manners manners at the table and the fireside and in the Church and in stores, on both sides of the counter, and there are railroad manners, both of the offi cials and the travelers. Not long ago i I boarded the Alabama Great South . ern, of the Southern, at Chattanooga and before the train moved out an official came through the car and in a quiet, polite manner asked every one of us where we were going. He found one man who was going to Atlanta and quickly hurried him off and on to the Atlanta train. I liked that ; it was good railroad manners and was new to me. Bailroad officials can hardly realise how bewildered strangers feel in a large union depot and how grate ful they are for information, especi ally when it is kindly volunteered. Poor, timid women unaccustomed to traveling are so afraid they will make a mistake. I came from Florida last Monday and was impressed with the kindness and attention of a conductor, a Mr. Seabring, who runs from Tampa to Waycross. No woman was too humble or poorly clad to receive his considerate care. He assisted them li and out and took their babies in his arms and provided them comfortable seats and had his porter to take water to their little ones. He not only an swered questions willingly and polite ly, but gave more information than was asked for. Most all conductors are civil and courteous, but some an swer you in a perfunctory manner and pass on. Mr. Seabring's face seemed to invite you to ask for something, so that he might oblige you. He did not know me nor that I was observing him, but I cannot refrain from saying he is the model conductor. From . Waycross to Tifton we were not calm and serene. The night was cold, very cold, and the car was colder, for there was no fire and the porter did not seem to care whether we froze or not. Wc complained bitterly to thc conductor and in an hour or so he had the porter to make one He started a small, sickly blaze in the heater and left us. It soon went out and we never got any fire until we got to Tifton and chang ed conductors and porters. Mr. Flour ney was as indignant as we were and never stopped his personal supervision until we were thoroughly warmed and r? vi ved. There is a difference in con ductors. ] LETTER. l?ays a Tribute to an aductor* mstitution. And there is a greater difference in travelers. Some will politely offer to share the seat with you, while others will stretch themselves and look the other way to keep from being disturb ed. They act like they have the smallpox and don't want you to catch it. My daughter and I sat behind a bridal couple as we went down, and notwithstanding the car was crowded and people still coming in, the selfish old rascal with his young wife occu pied four seats and stuck their feet npon one and looked defiance at every body. Women came in with little ?hildren and passed and repassed, and found no seat. The old groom had long, reddish-gray ^whiskers and the bride of twenty-five had had her black hair bobbed short in an aggravating style and leaned her head upon his shoulder while she affected sleep. By and by a countryman with a little girl in his arms came in and after walking up and down a few times, stopped and surveyed the couple for a minute. Still there was no sign. At last he said, with some temper, "I reckon maybe perhaps if yon ones would, lift your feet often that seafc I could find some place to set down with this child. I've toted her about a mile a'ready." They lifted them with alacrity and tried to turn the seat, and found it locked. "That don't mat ter/' he said, as he put down the child, "Tm not gwine to hurt ye." We enjoyed it immensely. I wonder what makes so many of these youngish girls (youngish is a good word) marry these oldish men. Every since General Longstreet set the example every old widower in the country is hunting for a girl wife. The widows have been thrust out of the market. That is all right, maybe, if the girl is poor and the widower rich and he will settle a good estate upon her and die in a reasonable time. What curious transactions such things sometimes bring about. Some years ago a rich old widower of our County married a young wife and she was loyal to him until he died, which was in a reasonable time, and she fell heir to his splendid homestead with all the land attached, and sion married again. Not long after this she died and her last husband now steys over the rich man's land as sole owner and proprie tor of that he never gave a dollar for. Our brief visit to Florida last week was on business and I hurried home to go west on another lecture tour. It grieved me to leave Clear Water, which is lovelier than ever. It is still the sweetest town that ever grew beside the shore. Many improve ments have been made since we were there and half a million has been spent by Mr. Plant on the spacious property a mile below. Everything at Bellair is on a grand scale. Its drives and walks and lakes and gardens ; its grand hotel that overlooks the green waters of the gulf ; its ornamental shrubbery and long lines of stately palms ; its coliseum and boulevards and gasworks and waterworks all as tonished and charmed us, for it seem ed as though Aladdin had been there with his wonderful lamp and done it all-not in a night, but within a year, for it has not been much loDger since I was there and drove through that chaparral of scrub palmetto and saw nothing to attract me save the view of the distant islands and the foaming breakers of the gulf beyond. Another half million will make the place a paradise, but after all Bellair is arti ficial, the handiwork of man and money, while Clear Water is the work of nature and of God. The one is an embryo city of magnificent distances ; the other a cozy village nestled on a bluff among evergreen oaks and bays and palms and cedars and climbing vines, all clad in mossy tresses, and where the beautiful homes, half hid den, overlook the placid harbor and the setting sun, and where the chil dren play upon the beach or wade in the waters at the foot of the hill. Somehow the place reminds me of those beautiful lines '.And I knew by the smoke that BO grace fully curled From among the dark elms that a cot tage was near, And I said to myself, if there is peace In this world, The heart that ls humble might look for it here." I said to my friend, Mrs. Auns paugh, who has been living there twelve years, "Has anybody died since I was here ?" "Nobody," she re plied. "Have you found thc grave yard yet ?" "I have not." she said. "There has not been a burial in it since we have lived herc and thc way to it is all choked up with saw pal metto." BILL ARI*.

What is said to be the largest poul try farm in the world belongs to Mr. Isaac Wilbur, of Little Crompton, R. I. Mr. Wilbur ships about 150,000 doaen eggs a year. He keeps his fowls on the colony plan, housing about forty in a house 8 feet by 10 feet, or 8 feet by 12 feet in size, these houses being about 150 feet apart, set out in long rows over the gently slop ing fields. He has 100 of these houses, scattered over three or four fields. The food is loaded into a low wagon, which is driven about to each house in turn, the attendant feeding as he goes. At the afternoon feeding the eggs are collected. The fowls are fed twice a day. The morning meal is a mash of cooked vegetables and mixed meal. The afternoon feed is whole corn the year round. Diplomacy. "I have come," said the young man, "to ask for your daughter's hand." The proud banker gazed over his glasses at the'fellow and demanded: "Well, have you any means of sup porting her?" "Alas! I am poor-but hear my story." "Goon." "When I spoke to Claudia about coming to see you, she told me it was useless-that her mother was the man of the house, and that I had better go so far. But I said: 'No!

His strengtn of character may not be brought out by little things" "My boy," interrupted the old gen tleman, patting him on the shoulder, "I have known all along that you were not one of those ordinary dudes who are incapable of understanding what is going on in the world around them.
