HIERONYMUS POP
. AND THE BABY.
BY SHERWOOD BONNER.
"Now, 'Onymus Pop." wild the
mother of that gentle boy, "yon jes
take keer o' dis chile while I'm gone
ter de hangin'. An don't you leave
dis house on no - account, not if de
skies fall an' de earth opens ter
swalleryer."
Hieronymus " granted gloomily;
He thought it a burning shame that
he should not go to the hanging; but
never had his mother been willing
that he should have the least pleasure
in life. It was either to tend the
baby, or mix the cows food, or to
card wool, or cut wood, or to pick a
chicken, or wash up the floor, or to
draw water or to sprinkle down the
clothes always something. When
everything else failed she had a way
that seemed to her son simply de
moniac, of setting him at the alpha
bet. To be sure, sbfr'did not know
the letters herself, but her teaching
was none the less vigorous.
"What's dat; 'Onymus?" she
would say, pointing at random with
her snuff brush to a letter.
"Q" with a sniff.
"Is you sho'?" in a hollow voice.
Woe be unto you Pop if be faltered
and said it might be a Z. Mother
Pop kept a rod ready, and used it as
if she was born for nothing else.
Naturally he soon learned to stick
brazenly to his first guess. But un
fortunately he could not remember
from one day to aftother what he had
said; and his mother learned, after a
time to distinguish theforms of the
letters, and to know that a curly
letter called S on Tuesday could not
possibly be a square-shaped E on
Thursday. Her faith once shattered
'Onvmua had to suffer in the usual
way.
The lad had- been taught at
spasmodic intervals by his sister
Savannah commonly called Sissy
who went to school, put on airs, and
was always clean. Therefore tiiero-
nvmus hated her. Mother Pop her
self was a little in awe of her accom
plished daughter, and would ask her
no questions, even when most in
doubt as to which was which of the
letters G and C.
"A pretty thing!" she would mut
ter to her self. if 1 must be a
learnin things from my own chile,
dat wuz de most colicky baby I ever
had. an' cos me unheerd-of miseries
in de time of her teethin'."
It seemed to Hieronymus that the
climax of his impositions had come,
when he was forced to stay at home
and mind the baby, while his mother
and the rest of them trotted off gay
aa larks, to see a man hanged.
It was a hot afternoon, and the
unwilling nurse suffered. The baby
wouldn't eo to sleep. He put it on
the bed a feather-bed and why
didn t drop off to sleep, as a proper
hahv Should, was more than the
tired soul of Hieronymus could tell
He did everything to soothe Tiddle
kins. (The infant had not been
named as vet. and by way of affec
tion they addressed it as Tiddlekins
He even went so far as to wave the
flies away from it with a mulberry
h anch f or the sDace of -five or ten
minutes. But as it still fretted and
tossed, he let it severely alone, and
the flies settled on the little black
thing as if it had been a licorice stick,
After a while Tiddlekins grew
aggressive and began to yell. Hieron-
vmna: who had almost found con
solation in the contemplation of

cut from the weekly paper - of

this solace. He picked up "de

called it in his wrath. He trotted it.

But there were no pins, rienry

pin to account for the antics 01 tne
unhappy Tiddlekins.
How it did scream! it lay on tne
tiffly braced knees of Hieronymus,
and puckered up its face so tightly
that it looked as if it had come fresh

the squirming atom with calm eyes
of despair.- Then, running his fing
ers over the nest and breast of the
small Tiddlekins, be cried, with the
air of one who makes a discovery.
It's got de heat! Data what ails
iddlekins!"
There was really little breaking
out on the child s body mat mignt
account for his restlessness and
squalls. And it was such a hot day!
erspiration streamed down m
back, while his bead was dry. There
was not a quiver in the tree leaves,
and the silver-poplars showed only
their leaden side. The sunflowers
were dropping their big heads; the
flies seemed to stick to the window
panes, and were too languid to
crawl.
Hieronymus had in him the ma
terials of which philosophers are
made. He said to himself, Tain't
nothin' but heat dat's de matter wid
dis baby; so uf cose he ought to be
cooled off."
But how to cool him off that was
the great question. Hi knitted his
brows and thought intently.
It happened that the chiefest
treasure of the Pope estate was a
deep old well that in the hottest days
yielded water as refreshing as iced
Champagne. The neighbors all
made a convenience of the rop well.
And half way down its long cool hol-
ow hung, pretty much all of the
time, milk cans, butter pats, fresh
meats all things that needed
kept cool in summer days.
He looked at the hot. squirming.
wretched black baby on his lap; then
he looked at the well; and, simple,
straightforward lad that he was, he
put thi3 and that together.
"If I was ter hang Tiddlekins down
de well," he reflected, ''twouldn t
be mo' dan three jumps of a flea be-
fo he s as cool as Christmas.
With this quick-witted youth to
think was to act. Before many min
utes he had stuffed poor little Tiddle
kins into the well bucket, though it
must be mentioned to his credit that
he tied the baby securely in with his
own suspenders.

""Here 1 is!" cried ill, starting up.
"What you want?"
Little Jim Rogers stood in the
doorway.
"Towzer s dog," he said in great
excitement, and daddy s bull-pup is
irwine ter have a fight dis evenin .
Come on quick, if you want to see de
fun
Up jumped Hi, and the two boys
were off like a flash. Not one thought
to Tiddlekins in the well bucket.
In due time the Pop family got
home, and Mother Pop, fanning her
self, was indulging in the moral re
flections suitable to the occasion.

Soon appeared a little woolly head,
then half a black body, the rest of
him being securely wedged in the
well backet. He looked like jack-in-the-box.
But he was cool. Tiddk -kins
was, no doubt of that.
Mother Pop revived at sight of her
offspring, fill living, and feebly
sucking his thumb.
"Ef we had a whiskey bath ter put
him in!" she cried.
Into the house flew Father Pop,
siezed the quart cup, and was over
to the white bouse on the hill in the
wink of a cat's eye.
"He stammered forth his piteous
tale,1-said Savannah.' telling the
story the next day to her school
mates; "and Judge Chambers him
self filled his oup with the best of
Bourbon, and Misa OanCcame over
to see us resusitate the infant."
Mother Pop had Tiddlekins wrap
ped in hot flannel when he got back;
and with a never-to-be-autficiently-admired
economy Mr. Pop moistened
a rag with "the best of Bourbon,"
and said to his wife, "Jes rub him
awhile, Cynthy, an' see if dat won't
bring him roun'."
As she rubbed, he absent-mindedly
raised the quart cup to his lips, and
with three deep and grateful gulps
the wiskey bath went to refresh the
inner man of Tiddlekins s papa.
Then who so valorous and so
affectionate as he? -Dire were his
threats against Hieronymus, deep
his lamentation over his child.
"My po' little lammie!" he sobbed.
"Work away Cynthy. Dat chile
mus' be saved, eves if I should have
ter go over ter de judge's for
anudder quart o' whiskey. Nothin'
shall be spared to save., that pre-
to be ciousest kid 0' my old age. .
Miss Clara di1 not encourage his
eelf-sacrificing proposal; but for all
that, it was not long before Tiddle
kins grew warm and lively, and
winked at his father so that good
old man declared as he lay on his
back, placidly sucking a pig's tail.
Savannah had roasted it in the ashes,
and it had been cut from the piece
of pork that had shared the well
with Tiddlekins. The pork belong
ed to a neighbor, by-the-way; but at
such a time the Pop family felt that
they might dispense with the vain
and useless ceremony of asking for
it.
The excitement was over, the baby
asleep. Miss Clara gone, and the sun
well on its way to China, when a
small figure was seen hovering diffi
dently about the gate, it had -a
limp air of dejection, and seemed to
feel some delicacy about coming
further.
"The miscreant is got back," re-
mar ed Savannah.

Mr. Pop said nothing. But he

Then he walked out to Hi, end

North Carolina Textile School
The Textile School of the North
Carolina College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts has a complete equip
ment of machinery for instruction in
Cotton Manufacturing. Young men
who enter this school are taught to
operate the different machines and
to make all the calculations necessary
to produce yarns and fabric.
A ccmpltely equipped d e-hou e
ha? been added to the school, and a
thoroughly practical course in dyeing
is now given.
Another interesting fact is that
knitting machinery has been added
to the equipment. The knitting in
dustry is becoming very important
in North Carolina, and the addition
of this machinery : to the textile
school is very timely and makes this
school one of the best equipped in
America.
Last year and again this- year the
National Association of Cotton Manu
facturers awarded the Students
Medal to this school, which is the
only Southern school to receive it.
This association is composed of the
leading mill men in America.
The school is under the direction

It is being more and more realized
that villages, towns and citk are
built up by good roads, and there is
not a point however distant in the
country where good roads go which;

prosperity thus gained.
Railroads are the firm friends and
liberal supporters of good roads; for
over the improved dirt roadsiof the
country, to the extent of their im
provement, roils a great volume of
freight to be transported to the ends
of the earth. The railroads have
taken the lead in the education of
the people in good roads building:
and much is due to tne Southern es

What the Tarif f Is.
The clearest definition of the tariff
we have seen is given in an article in
the Kaleigh News and Observer, by
Mr. Jno. S. Henderson, Jr., as follows:
The stock tariff phrases are: Free
trade, tariff for revenue only, pro
tective tariff
The practical effect of free trade
is that the foreign competitor enters
the United States without ever pay
ing tariff to the government. It al
lows the foreign manufacturer what
ever ; natural , advantages his goods
and methods of manufacture may
give him
The practical effect of tariff for
revenue only is that the foreign
manufactured article competes with
the home-made article urder the
handicap of paying a tariff to the
government. The consumer in the
United States, in paying this differ
ence in cost, pays "a tax to the gov
ernment on the imported article
to the American manufacturer on
the home-made article.
The practical effect of a protective
tariff is that the tax is so high and
the handicap to the foreign articles
does not enter the country. The tar
riff thus brings no revenue. The
consumer uses the home-made pro
duct entirely. The consumer pays
the duty on the article to the Ameri
can manufacturer is taxed for the
benefit of a class (thelAmerican man
ufacturer) -and not for the support
of the government
Protection by closing the door to
the foreign article enforces the use
of the domestic articles. If this ar
ticle is a ter.shable natural resource
protection aid in its destruction
on tLe wafvo. too!

Senator Dolliver, it will be remem
bered, at a late hour broke his en
gagement with Meredith College,
where be bad pledged nis word to
deliver the commencement address.
At Trinity he waited until the last
moment and sent a telegram that he
could not come. This as the Char
lotte Observer remarks, is contempti
ble and pressure of public business
13 no excuse for it President Kilgo
spoke rather warmly about the
matter, and he cannot be blamed for
it. Dolliver would not have treated
any section of the country in this
way if his political prospects had
been involved; but he evidently cares
very little about keeping his word.

Has anybody seen a man lately
who recovers split bottom" chairs?
It used to be & consideral le indu stry,
but seems to be extinct, probably be
cause the demand has almost ceased.
In other words, the split bottom
chair is not used to the extent it used
to be. Speaking on the subject, up
at the county court house are a few
chairs of the split bottom variety
purchased by the late W. U. Steiner,
register of deeds, from some man in
Rockingham county in 1876 and those
that are left have yet good bottoms
in them. They are made of oak and
are as solid as a rock. But think of
a chair that has not had a new bot
torn placed in it in 33 years and as
good now as when new. Speaking
about the old split bottom chair go
ing out of use, it is suggested that
one of the reasons is that trousers
cost too much to wear them out sit
ting on- this kind of a chair. In old
times a man could . replace an old
Dair at small expense, while now it
is costly. If he did not care to buy
anew pair, he could have the old
pair patched, but who ever sees a
pair of patched pants in these days?
That's one reason we hear so much
about hard times.
