BILL ARP'S LETTER.
THE 'cillKAT PERPLEXITY WHICH
HOLDS HILL ARP IN ITS GRASP.
The People Running Crazy on Societies
Spending Money Paster Than They Make
It.
"Sorrow endureth for a night, but
joy cometh in the morning." That
is unless the cook has quit and you
have to rise before sun-up and cook
breakfast yourself. But I don't mind
it much and it's a fair compromise
for me to cook breakfast and the
girls to clean up after my messing
and cook the. other two meals. In
fact, I would enjoy the frolic, if the
old cranky stove would bake the bis
cuit brown on the bottom, but this
morning they were as white as cotton
and were blistered on top, arid Mrs.
Arp said it would take two or three
days for me to get my hand in, and
she hinted that the old stove was
about burnt out anyhow and that it
had to oe tired up an hour or two
sooner so as to get properly hot in
the lower chamber. So I reckon I
have to rise with the chickens and
flap my wings and crow and fire up.
The children beg me to wake them
up and let them do it all, but their
mother says it nearly kills them to
get up so soon, and she had rather
do it herself. But it is most aston
ishing how late these children can set
up at night at a party or frolic and
still keep their health, and I have
admired the alacrity with which they
rise when they are going on an ex
cursion or a picnic and have to take
an early start. There seems to be a
power of stirring around this summer
considering the hard times, and I
have thought that maybe all this
going to and fro had something to
do with the hard times. It don't
cost so much to .travel, but there is
always some fixing up to do before
hand, and that costs money. My
folks told me last summer that the
excursion rate to St. Simon's and
back was only $6, and the children
had never ssen the ocaan, and it did
look like we could afford that little
sum and embrace the golden oppor
tunity. And so I surrendered, and
prepared my finances for the $6
apiece and two or three days board,
but they stayed ten days, and what
wkh all the preliminary fixings, I
never got over the golden opportu
nity .and strain for six months. But
Mrs. Arp declares it was worth it,
and she wouldn't mind going again
this summer if I had- the money to
spare, which I haven't, and never
expect to have again.
Old Dr. Kirk says that these ex
cursions and conventions will break
the country, and that nobody can
stand it but the negroes. And here
they go and there they go, like a
fiddler's elbow the lawyers to Co
lumbus, and the doctors to Augusta,
and the editors to New York, and
the dentist to Atlanta, and the Royal
Arcanum to Savannah, and the
Masons to Macon, and the conduc
tors to Gainesville, and the school
teachers to Brunswick, and the mili
tary to Chickamauga, and the legis
lature to Salt Springs, and some-
more editors to Chicago, and the
college boys and college girls every
where in squads, and then there are
the Odd Fellows and the Knights of
L Honor and Knights of Pythias and
Knights of - Labor and Knights of
Jericho mnd Scylla and Charybdis,
and the baseball teams that are all on
the go somewhere, and besides all
these there are a big lot of women
and girls and fancy fellers visiting the
springs, and a heap of them dance
and gamble and carry on scandalous,
and a heap of them don't but it costs
money, and bur young men haven't
got it to spare, and they come home
broke aud-.don't lay up a dollar, and
they can't marry,' tor they haven't
got anything to marry on, but they
flirt around amazing and make a
mash and go home 3nd brag about
it. Why there are boys in all these
towns thajt are clerking or working
for thirty or forty dollars a month,
and it takes it all for clothes and
buggy rides and excursions, and they
are not laving up a dollar, and the
old man is kept bowed down and
hard run to help them along, and it's
all wrong, all wrong, and the boys
ought to put on the brakes and stop
it.
And the, good old doctor came
down with his cane hard on the
brick ; and about this time old Uncle
Simon Peter came along and took up
the subject as the doctor left off and
said: "Yes, they have got too
many, societies, and I used to be as
big a fool as anybody and jined every
one that come along the Masons
and Sons of Temperance, and Bible
societies, and I don't know how
many more, and -what with preaching
and traveling and the conference and
all the societies I liked to have never
got acquainted with my family, for I
was out somewhere every night ;
and one day my wife saw a notice in
the newspaper that there was a new
society just come for the protection
of henpecked husbands, and she call
ed my attention to it and asked if I
hadn't better join it and run for presi
dent ! and that" out me to thinkine.
and I emit for awhile, until it occurred
to me not long ago that I could do
some good by joining the Alliance
and helnintr diem to reform . the
vfor and the country, and so I '
joined, and I'v been talking to them
about whisky and tobacco and ex
travagance and corruption at Wash
ington, but my ideas don't seem to
be popular, and they say my views
are all right, but they are impracti
cable. There are $900,000,000 spent
in a year for whisky, and $600,000,
000 lor tobacco, and $icx),ooo,ooo
wasted in extravagant salaries, and
if the Alliance would just come down
like an avalanche upon these three
things and save that $1,600,000,000
a year, all that money would be put
into useful and profitable industries,
and it would get scattered among the
people and make everybody comfor
table and happy, and the farmers
wouldn't need any sub-treasury.
Why, if they will just tackle the
whisky alone and stop every still
and all importation of spirits, our
courts woultl mighty nigh dry up for
want of business, and our jails would
be empty and our taxes be reduced
50 or 75 per cent. But the Alliance
can't see it, for they want a little
sometimes for snake bites them
sevles, and the whiskey ring is a
tremendous power in the nation, and
so I have despaired of reforming the
people by myself and have conclud
ed to go along and preach the gos
pel and leave mankind to the Lord
who made them." And the good
old man gave a sigh and went on his
way.
And I met James Gilreath, janother
good man, and a good, industrious
citizen he is, and he, too, belongs to
the Alliance and is desperately in
earnest, and he said the bottom was
about to drop out of the farming as a
business, for everything he raised was
below the cost of production. Said
he, "Here I've got a car load of
wheat right here in town for sale, and
all I can get is 77 cents a bushel, and
I've kept an account fair and square
and it has cost me over eighty cents
to raise it, and cotton is worse than
that, and I've" worked harder last
year and this than I ever did in my
life, and you, can just look at my
hands, and I tell you Major Arp
there is no use in talking, something
has got to be done for the farmers
77 cefts won't grow a bushel of
wheat in this country."
Just then a carpenter came along
and said : ''Well, I'm glad to hear
that wheat has come down. I hope
now we will get flour a little cheaper
I'm getting mighty tired paying $3
a hundred For flour," and he hurried
on to his work. And so, Mr. Editor,
I don't know what to do. I would
fix it all right if I could. I would
arrange matters so that every man
could sell high and buy low ; but I
don't see my way clear, so, like
Uncle Simon Peter, I believe I will
give all people my benediction and
leave these troubles with the Lord.
But these youngsters don't care a
cent abbut the price of flour nor the
thirtl party, nor where the money is
to come from. They have about run
away with the country. To-morrow
there is to be another baseball match
game. They have had three this
week, and because I slip round the
back way and get in the back ground
and look on they say I'm in favor of
it, but I ain't. II they wouldn t play
I wouldn't go ; but I don't want to
see Dalton or Cedartown or Marietta
come up here and beat our boys,
aud so I slip round to do a little hol
lerin' and sic the boys on. The boys
oughtn't to .lead an old man into
temptation. They can't play much
nohow. They don't hit one ball in
ten, but we boys used: to knock the
old town ball a quarter of a mile, and
if w e ever missed one we w ere caught
out behind sure. And the girls are
just as crazy about tennis. They
play all the shank of. the afternoon,
and sometimes don't get back in time
to fix the table for supper, and my
wife has got to going down town most
every evening for a spool of thread,
or something, and I've just found out
she slips over to the tennis courts to
see the young folks play next thing
I know she will be playing football.
She takes rides with the children and
says they ought to have some sport
while they are young something to
look back to when they get old and
full of care and trouble. "It has
been forty years," said she, "since I
had any .time to enjoy such things,
far there was always a baby in the
way, and now I am going when I feel
like it."
Well, let her go I don't care. Let
her mew her youth, as Milton says,
she ought to have a pension right
now as a confederate widow; but she
is spoiling these children. When 1
came home from Missouri I inquired
for Carl , and she said he was at
Chickamauga with the military. How
is that said I. "He didn't belong to
any company." "No," said she,
"but he went over to Rome, and
Bapt Byrd took him in on the tail
end of his company, and he borrowed
a uniform and I let him go. He has
been studying very hard, you know
and needed a rest." Well, I had
two grandsons up there military
boys right fresh from Auburn college
and they got into the company,
too, and wanted to rest, and so I ac
quiesced and ruminated, and sung
my old song: "borrow enduretn lor
a night, but joy cometh in the morn
ing." Well, it didn't cost a cent, for the
state footed the bills, and the boys
say they had a splendid time- never
had as much fun in all their lives.
Two of them belled a cow and rode
her through the camp one evening,
and never got in the guardhouse for
it. Only had to double guard duty
lor two days, and that wasent nothing
thev said. A new company from the
wiregrass got there one night about
ten o'clock, and the Cades found out
they were pretty green and met
them at the depot and marched
them a mile away and drilled and
double-auicked them for two hours
just as though they had orders to do
it. They eat up all theirjown rations
and stole every body else's that were
not under lock and key. They kept
the whole camp in an uproar and
I'm afraid my lineal descendants were
, ttip bottom ot it. Captain rni
d. L Lllv - j
Byrd, of the Husder had better
mind how he attaches the Arp family
to his company. It has been forty
six years since I helped to take the
clapper out of the college bell and
hoist abilly goat into the tutor's room
and now the sins of my youth are be
ing vented upon me in the devilment
of my children and grand children,
and the State and the governor and
the legislature and my wife are re
sponsible for it. But it's all right I
reckon, and all's well that ends well.
"Sorrow endureth for a night, but
joy cometh in the morning."

Here is a story which may involve
a prominent Southern railway in
heavy damages. A Kentuckian who
had been drinking heavily, asked the
colored porter at what hour Coving
ton would be reached.
"Two o'clock ter morrer mornin,"
answered the darkey.
"Waal," said the travaller. I've
been drinking pretty freely. When
we git thar put me off. When you
come to call me you may find me
rcmonstrative and fighting drunk,
but there are two dollars to pay you
lor all injuries. Mind, now, I want
to get oft at Covington you under
stand!" "Guess I do, boss," said Jeff, as
he pocked the bribe. "Don't matter
how you kick off yer goes, sure."
At six o'clock next morning as the
train was entering Cincinnati the big
Kentuckian awoke. He grabbed his
gripsack, and with fire in his eyes he
sought the negro, who was standing
at the extreme end of the aisle.
When Jeff saw the man he turned
almost white, and his eyes dilated un
til the pupiis stood out like butter
plates.
"Didn't I give you two dollars to
put me off at Covington, hey?" hissed
the traveller between his teeth.
"Sartain sure; honest fac'," ac
quiesced the darkey, "But," he
queried, as the pirspiration started
out all over him ; but who was the
ge'meh we did throw off at Covin'ton?
He kicked wusser nor a mule."

THE IDLER.
A STORY OF LAZINESS THAT CANNOT
UK EQUALED ANYWHERE.
Some Men Would Rather Ik- Famous Even
as Foola than Not to he Famous at all.
And So we Have Our (Bridee-jumpers,
and yuan Eaters, and Forty Iay Pasters,
In the lazy litde village of Bldah
gome years before the French inva
sion, there lived an honest Moor,
named after his father, Sidi Lakdar,
but to whom the villagers had given
the name of the Idler. The Moors
are known to be the most indolent
people in the world, but those of the
village of Blidah were considered the
laziest of their countrymen. It was
perhaps to bt- attributed to the lanu
ous perfumes of oranges and limes
which hung 'over the town like a
sweet scented cloud.
But among all who lived in this
laziest of lazy towns no one could
come up to Sidi Lakdar for down
right idleness and nonchalance. The
worthy man had elevated his vice to
the height of a profession ; other
people might be embroiderers, cafe
owners, spice merchants and so on
but he was an Idler.
When his father died he inherited
a small garden under the ramparts of
the town, surrounded by low white
walls falling into decay. The gate
was so entangled by weeds that it
could not be closed. There were a
few fig and banana trees. Here and
there in the grass a spring bubble up.
It was in his garden that Sidi Lak
dar passed his life, prone on his back
in the grass, silent and motionless,
while the little red ants found a home
in his beard. When he was hungry
he stretched out an arm and gathered
a fig or a banana lying within reach ;
but he would have preferred starva
tion to the alternative of rising to
gether the fruit of the tree. So most
of the figs decayed where they fell
and the trees suffered from the gen
eral neglect.
This extraordinary indolence made
Lakdar quite a noted person in that
part of the country ; he was looked
up to and reverenced as a sort of
sait. When the ladies of the town
visited the town near by, they walked
their mules as they passed his domi
cile and spoke in whispers under
their white veils ; while men inclined
their heads in involuntary homage.
Every day after school hours
a crowd of boys in gaily striped silk
vests and red caps congregated on
one of the walls inclosing Lakdar's
domain, and tried in all sorts of ways
to disturb that magnificent indolence
calling him by name, laughing, shout
ing, throwing orange peel at him and
otherwise tormenting him.
But in vain ! The Idler did not
move. Every now and then a voice
from the depths of the grass would
be heard: "Take care now, take
care, if I only get up to
you!
But
he never got up. .
It happened that one of these boys
coming constantly with the others to
make game of the Idler, found him
self at last overcome by admiration,
and a great desire to assume himself
the horizontal existence. He went to
his father and boldly declared that
he intended giving up school and
wished to become an Idler.
"An Idler ! You!" said the father,
a worthy turner of pipe stems, as
busy as a bee, and seated before his
lathe every morning at cock crow.
"You, an Idler! a pretty idea in
deed!" "Yes, father, I wish to be an Idler
like Sidi Lakdar."
"Nothing of the sort, my boy, you
shall be a turner like your father or
a register of the law courts of the
Cadi, like your Uncle An, but you
shall never become an Idler- never.
Be off now to school, or I may be
tempted to use this fine new piece of
cherry wood on your back, lie oft
now, you young rascal!"
The cherry wood had the desired
effect, and the boy feigning obedience
withdrew; but instead of going to
school he made his way to a Moorish
bazar, and seizing his opportunity
secreted himself between two piles of
Smyrna rugs and remained there all
day, lying on his back staring up at
the Moorish lanterns and richly em
bridered bodies glistening in the
sun, while he inhaled the delicius
perfume from the flasks of attar of ro
ses scattered about. In this manner
he passed all the time that he should
have been at school.
His father soon got an inkling of
how matters stood ; but in vain he
shouted, stormed, cursed the name
of Allah and punished the young ur
chin with all the cherry wood canes
in his shop. All was useless ; the
bov only repeated obstinately, "I will
be an Idler," and he was found con
tinually stretched out in some corner.
Utterly discouraged at last, the father
took a decided step after consulting
the Registrar Ah.
"Listen to me," saip his father, "as
you are determined to be an Idler,
will take you to Lakdar ; he will ex
amine you and if you have any real
fitness for his profession, I will beg
him to take you as an apprentice."
"That will suit me, replied the
boy.
The very next day with freshly
shaven heads, and lavishly purfumed
with verbena, they sought the Idler
in his little garden. 1 he gate was
always open so they entered without
ceremony, but the grass being very
high and very thick they had some
trouble to locate the lord of the do
main. At last they found him lying
under the fig trees in a maze of birds
and overgrown plants a bundle of
yellow rags. He received them with
a grunt.
"Allah be with you, Sidi Lakdar,"
said the father, bowing low, his hand
on his heart. "This is my son, who
insists on becoming an Idler. I have
brought him to you for examination
that you may decide if he really has
any fitness for your profession ; in
which case I beg of you to allow him
to become your apprentice, and I
will pay all that is necessary."
Sidi Lakdar silendy motioned to
Lthem to sit down. The father seated
himself, and the boy stretched himself
at full length on the grass; a good
sign to begin with. Then they silent
ly gazed at one another- It was
high noon ; the warm, mellow light
flooded the little garden and seemed
to make everything in it drowsy.
The only sounds to be heard were
the bubbling of the springs under the
grass, the wild hi orn bursting its
pods in the sunshine, and the sleepy
birds fluttering idly from one twig to
another with a sound like the open
ing and shutting of a fan. Every
now and then a ripe fig fell from
branch to branch till it reached the
ground. Then Sidi Lakdar would
stretch out his arm and carry the fruit
w earily to his mouth. The boy took
no such trouble; the finest fig fell to
him and he never even " turned his
head. The master from the corner
of his eye watched him but said noth
ing-
One hour, two hours passed. The
time dragged .heavily for the -poor
turner! however, he dared not sav
mything but remained motionless
with his legs crossed, succumbing a
lttle himself, occasionally, to the ef
fects of the perfumed, drowsy, at
mosphere which enveloped them.
Suddenly a large fig fell from a
tree plump on the cheek of the boy.
A beautitul fig, by Allah! rose-colored
sweet and scented like honey. The
boy only had to touch it with one
finger to roll it into his mouth; but
even that proved to much exertion,
so he lay without- stirring while the
fruit rested on his cheek. At last
the temptation mastered him; he
glanced at his father and said drow
sily, "Father please put it into my
mouth."
Sidi Lakdar had a fig in his hand;
throwing it far from him and turning
to the father, he cried anerilv. "And
this is the boy you brought to be my
apprentice! I tell you he is my
master, it is he who should teach me!"
and falling on his knees before the
boy he bowed his head to the ground
and cried:
"Hail, Father of Idleness!"

'We've got a bank clerk up in our
neck o' woods who some day will
"give Jay Gould cards and spades in
the game of financiering anil Ix-at
him to a standstill." said Mortez
Curren of Cheyenne to .1 reporter.
"He is only 19 years old, but is a
hummer. Two or three months ago,
while the president of the bank w as
away, the cashier was taken sick and
in a few hours was in a delirious
state. The young Napoleon was left
in soe charge of the bank. Some
evil-disposed person started the story
one afternoon that the institution was
in a bad way, and intimated that the
president had skipped the country,
and that the cashier's illness was only
a 'bluff'
"Before night it was evident there
would be a run on the institution the
next morning. The young clerk
knew there was scarcely money
enough to last an hour. He had no
one to advise him, but he acted
promptly. He called on the leading
hardware merchant and held a brief
conference. Then this young Napo
leon went home, where he found
a committee from the depositors
awaiting him. Hedid not wait for
them to speak, but made this blufl :
T refuse to discuss business with you.
There wili be. $50,000 in gold here
in the morning, and there is a like
amount in the safe. You may draw
out, every dollar you have deposited,
and we 11 be glad to get rid ot your
small accounts.' Then he turned on
his' heel and left the committee.
Bright and early there assembled at
the bank the creditors.
"Just before time for opening the
doors an express wagon was driven
up in which were seated two heavily
armed men, one of them the watch
man of the bank. A path-way
through the crowd was made and the
watchman began carry into the bank
canvass bags containing gold coin, as
indicated by the prominent marks.
Some of the bags were marked
'$5,000,' and one or two $ 10,00.'
The people saw these bags, heard the
clink of the metal, and believing that
tne bank was O. K., were about to
move away. Just as the last bag of
'gold' was handed into the door the
young financier threw the bank open.
The crowd did riot make any enort
to reach the paying teller's w indow.
'Come on, ntiwr, every one of you,'
shouted the clerk. No one respond
ing he made another bluff. 'You
must come and get your money. We
don't want your d d accounts any
more. Here, Jim Bartley, take this
and sign this receipt in full. Here,
Bill Wyman, come and get your
dust.' He isisted on their taking the
money.
"Just at this juncture the committee
came in and begged the clerk to 'stop
for God's sake.' They almost got
down on their knees to ask the bank
to keep their, money. , The young
'Napoleon' finally consented, but de
clared if there was ever any' more
""d d nonsense he would throw
every depositor's money into the
street. The crowd departed happy,
and confident that the bank was one
of the strongest institutions of its
kind in America. Their confidence
might have been shaken had they
known the canvass bags marked
'$5,000 gold,' etg,, and bedaubed
with red sealing wax, cantained noth
ing more nor less than iron washers,
which the young clerk had purchas
ed from the hardware man, w ho had
otherwise assisted the deception, he
being convinced of the soundness ot
the bank. The two men the young
Napoleon insisted on paying in full
the bank had long wished to get rid
of."
