THE MOUNT*
Hands That aro Cutt
[Ric
II. E. C. Bryant, iu
The study of maa is alway* inter
ecting. I must admit that men and
women and boys and girls are much
more attractive to me than arc treen,
water and land. It is tho human be
ing that I delight in. Therefore my
recent trip across tho Blue Ridge
Mountains was all the more delight
ful becau.-e I saw many persons of
many minds.
There arc three classes of laborers
at work on the South and Western
Railroad between Marion and Spruce
pine. The native, a typical moun
taineer, of tho better type; the negro,
who went there from this section, and
tho Italian, an importation from thc
North.
Tho North Carolina mountaineer ie
a unique character. He is aa inter
eating as the day is long. He does
not know what fear ia and if he likes
you he is hospitable and kind in his
way. He has very little, if any, rev
erence for God, and less for bis fellow
man. Of course this is not true of all
of them, but, generally speaking, it is.
The boys curse and swear like troop
ers, but, withal, they are good natured
and charitable to those they like. As
I rode by a squad of ooe hundred or
more men, native boys, at work on a
dirt road I looked at various individ
uals and saw a bright lustre in almost
evory eye. The mountaineer has
plenty of native wit and genuine
ability; many of them are illiterate,
but never ignorant. He knows the
ways of nature-of the mountains,
the trees, the rivera and the like.
He ?B a product of the soil.
After passing the workmen io the
road I came upon & number of teams
on their way to one of the campo with
a lot of lumber. There wore two,
four and six mules to a wagon, a&d
yoong mountaineers did the driving.
I never saw finer stock than those
great, strong mules that made up
these teams. The drivers rode tho
saddle mule, as io the olden days,
and directed the course of the wagoo
through the lead mule, who wore a
guide lino at his left cheek and a gee
stiok at his . right shoulder. There
were no oow tails, or red ribbons tied
about the bridles for decorations,
but the teams were weil harnessed
and fat.
As Mr. Tro nt sod myself rode oo,
watohing the men with the picks and
shovels, sod the oo-coming teams, a
a fierce, sharp cry burst upon us; a
driver far down the lice was urging
his team to do its utmost io a boggy
placo in the road. Clear and sharp
esme the words: "Get up there,
Mike, you d-d rascal. Git out of
here!"
Aa we passed I took a crack at the
fellow who had stopped to let the
mules blow. I said: "Young fellow,
yon ought oot to swear so loud when
preaoherB are passing."

Impoverished soil, like impov
erished blood, needs a proper
fertilizer. A chemist by analyz
|_ ing the soil can tell you what
* fertilizer to use for different
products.
If your blood is impoverished
your doctor will tell you what
you need to fertilize it and give
it the rich, red corpuscles that
are lacking in it. It may be you
need a tonic, but more likely you
need a concentrated fat food,
and fat is the element lacking
in your system.
There is no fat food that is
so easily digested and assimi

"J)- the preachers; let 'cia Ktay
out of herc. Thia is no place for
'em," was thc quick retort.
Mr. Mountaineer WOG in earnest.
He did not caro who heard him swear.
He waa talking to ?be team of mules
and if any fellow wa9 so unfortunate
as to hear he had to grin and hear it.
There was a healthy glow in tho young
man's face and ho looked like a stal
wart eon of thc soil.
These mountiin folk are making
from $1.50 to $2.50 a day and they do
not rare what happons. Many of
thom will never return to their old
work, that cf a plain tiller of moun
tain sides, but will drift out into tho
busy world to become mochanics, ar
tisans and all sorts of skilled work
men. Some will become railroad con
tractors, aud others foremen and BU- j
poriuteudeots. They have in them
the making of first-class workmen and
the taste of money-making aud the
knowledge of what is going on in the
outside world will set them afire.
Hundreds of these fellows have gath
ered from tho ooves and tho valleys
and aro? making sturdy, valuable
laborers. They are lusty, muscular
and willing.
The Italian is quite a different man.
He works like a clock, and is bossed
by a padrone, who says when to work
or quit. They make fino laborers so
long as they aro satisfied. Liko silent
steers they go from morning till night,
toiling on and saying nothing. They
are well-knit in body and dark of
complexion. Every time ono sends
down his pick ho outs a hole in the
ground; his efforts bring forth good
results. Theso short, stooky fellows
labor as does the ant. They strive to
make the almighty dollar.
Old duffie, the blaok man, is tho
best laborer when he will work. He
oan b& driven like the mule, and nioo
days out of ten his heart is full of joy,
and he gives vent to his good feeling.
by singing or hollering aloud. Good
farmers claim that they fear negroes
who do not sing when they toil. The
nung of a darkey is ample assurance
that he is moving. Therefore it is
not strange tl}nt most overseers in tho
South prefer the negro.
While ? was at Camp 4, the other
night, the pol ?oman of tho plaoe
carno in with a handful of pistols,
some short, but others long sod
daugeroua-looking.
"What aro you going to do with
those?" some ono asked.
"I have to take shooting irons away
from the negroes to keep down trou
ble," Raid the [officer, who had quelled
a little ^disturbance a few days be
fore.
Ono of the old guns looked as an
cient aa tho sword of Brutus.
"Captain, captain, oaptain, I'm
gi vin' you all my timo," shouted a
negro, as w? passed along the works,
Tuesday morning. Those' were his
only words, but he kept repeating
them, putting tune into them some
how or, other until it sounded fairly
well.
It is with these three olaeses of men
that the South and Western Railway
Company is cutting its way through
tho Blue Bidge Mountains from
Spruoepino to Marion, Rutherford ton
and Sparenburg. Something like
3,600 of them will be at work after
the Christmas holidays. The number
now has been reduced to about 2,500.
AB a rule the mountaineers*the Ital*
ians and tho negroes sro not worked
together, bot at different camps.
Most of the Italians are at Camps 2
and 3, while the negroes are on this
side of the mountain and the natives
beyond the ridge.
After the South and Western Road
is finished from Spruoepino to Marion
many hotels will be built in McDow
ell, Mitohell and Yanoey counties, and
many summer visitors will go there
for rest and health. Bold springs of
cold water are to be seen on every
mountain. There are many beautiful
hotel sites-on Washburn's Bidge and
in tbe neighborhood of McKinney's
Gap, where tho altitude is something
like 3,000 feet. The prettiest grove
of mountain laurel that I ever saw is
near tho top of the Blue Bidge, olote
to where, the south end of "Tho
Long Tunnel" will be. The entire
sido of a small mountain is covered
with the popular flowering plant,
whioh is so tall that one could craw)
beneath its richly-leafed top. I saw
hundreds of pretty placoa for resort
houses.

A moll] Thompson, bachelor of forty,
was lionel. IP- waa bored because tin?
warm weather hail l'orne, und he uittft
jr ? nw?? y to some n-sort; liccuusc he had
to buy .' ? new straw hut: because he bad
tried the roof burdens und they hud of
fered nothing new; because lie hud lu
dolently tried to flirt with a ?ood look
ing ?Irl that day on the street and she
had exhibited her contempt; because of
a dozen other reasons belonging to
bachelorhood
When Arnold Thompson bought a hat
it was au event Ile nr?u<xl thnt the
fiito of a nutlo?i depended on the ap
IKflninw of thnt hat when placed on
his bend, and ho was therefore a full
boor In muk h t; his selection. It was
an hour of uiu..ety to him und un hour
of misery to tile salesman who waited
on him. On this day, however-on this
day when ho strolled Into hi? butter's
and made his wanta known something
out of the ordinary wa? to happen. The
bachelor lind tried on only nineteen dif
ferent hats and had posed before the
glass owly nineteen different times,
when lie in ide a discovery under the
sweatband of tl ie nineteenth hat. It
was a ril^ of paper, and on lt was
written in a feminine hand:
If tho buyer of this hat is a single man
and a gentleman, he may write to Qeno
vlove Burton.
No address was added, and as thc
bachelor he'd the slip in bis hand a
thrill of romance began to creep into
his soul. That's what bo bad boen
yearning for for years-romance. He
bad had lt from twenty to thirty, but
lost it from thirty to forty and come
to tho conclusion that his heart never
could bo stirred again.
"If the buyer of this bat ls a single
man"
Well, he was single. Ile was not on
ly single, but called rather good look
ing, and he had a fair !y good Income.
-"and u gentleman"
Well, he was a gentleman, and no
ono could be found to dispute the fact.
What should follow? Ho would write
to Genovlevo Burton. The name pleas
ed him, and os he stood there with the
nineteenth straw bat in one hand and
the slip In the other he called up a
vision of n handsome face and a curly
bead and a willowy form. Ho had no
business to think Genevi?ve good look
ing, curly headed or willowy, but ho
assumed tho responsibility and said to
tho salesman, much to the latter's sur
prix:
' I'll take this bat"
.But ls it a good flt?"
' sula I would take this hat Bend
lt hOije."
As u matter of fact, the hat was not
a good flt, and the bachelor had meant
to paw over at least nineteen others,
but it struck him that he must have
tho bat as well as the slip of paper
found beneath its sweatband. The two
naturally went together.
As soon as ho reached his club be Bat
down to write to Genevieve. He found
lt a hard task. Bho was a braider of
straw bots; she lived far away; she
was Innocent hearted; she couldn't be
Invited to take a ride In his auto or to
accompany him to the theater and dui
ner; she was a coy, shy country blue
bird and must not be startled. The
bachelor started three different letters
and abandoned them and then sudden
ly discovered that he had no address
to write to. But why write at allt
Why not chaso that hat down until the
fair braider was discovered?
A decision was reached in au In
stant, and half an hour later the man
was back at the hat store asking where
tho hat was made. He was referred to
a wholesale dealer. The dealer said
that tho hat was part of u small stock
bought nt auction and referred bim to
an auctioneer. The auctioneer looked
his books over and took his time about
lt and then "reckoned" lt was a Smith
hat
The-Vnvestigatlon thus far had con
sumed ten days, but Arnold Thompson
bad rather enjoyed mern. The detec
tive Instinct ls more o? 'ess strong In
the character of every, man, and when
romance ls mingled with it lt becomes
even more fascinating.
The bachelor flattered himself that he
was a student of human nature and
that he could get an insight Into a per
son's character through his chirogra
phy. He sized Genevieve up as warm
hearted, trusting, hopeful and high
minde*]. She probably bad been born
and reared In affluence, but owing to
her father's too extensive speculations
in tho Texas oil fields, where there was
no oil, she had been obliged to turn to
straw hats to make a living. It was a
i shame, and he sympathised with her
from the bottom of his heart He bad
always said mat ho wouldn't marry,
but- ' \
Arnold Thompson went to Dunbery.
He visited every hatter in the hat town,
but all went back o? the hat. He was
told that it might have been mado in
any one of half a dosen places they
mentioned, and the only thing to do
was to give up further thought of Gene
vieve or pursue his quest ;
He decided at once to purdue. He al?
ways had been flattered by women run
ning after him; now he vron running
after one of tho opposite sex, and thero
was something novel in the change. He
went to Massachusetts and was sent ?n
to Vermont There th ey sent him over 1
into Canada,'and lie fe??T**?? ???M06Bi? ro
be told that Michigan waa his likely/
field. ' ; . V-. ,'.
This occupied a full month. 'The
bachelor did not travel by lightning;
express. He stopped on the way to>
think Of Genevieve and take his Turk?
lah baths and get hie halls manicured.
He got around to Michigan. at .last
however. / He bad no sooner set-, eyes
on tho Maumee river at Toledo than
hs began to be hopeful. During the
ride of eighty miles to Detroit bc saw
many cattails and much marsh/grass
and other things of 'wbtc&strjfliw. bet?
?re inade, end his hopes continued to
.lpn$(?i^ 2 it-'
Arriving at tho City of the Straits,
the bachelor located thc only hat fac
tory Ia towu und thea went to his
botcl tj make ready for nu Interview
on Uie morrow. Lie was alternating
between fear and hope when a drum
mer witll whom bo fell lu reached for
his bat lu the familiar way drummers
have on two minutes' acquaintance
and looked lt over and said:
"Guee in awhile one of you New
York fellers shows a Utile common
sense? in articles of dress."
"How do you mean?*'
"Thia Ls tho best straw hat made,
and it wns made right iiere in ibis lit
tle burg."
That settled it, and a bland and
complacent smile broke over tho face
of the bachelor. He could forgive the
innuendo because his long chase was
at last ended. In the language of Sher
lock Hohnes, he bad run his quarry to
earth, and the morrow would bring a
crisis. Mr. Arnold Thompson realized
that he was off on a tangent. Ile had
tho reputation of being a cool and im
perturbable fellow, one who never lost
his head about women, but be had to
acknowledge that he hud made a fool
of himself lu this affair-that is, al!
t's friends would say so. Ile had
some excuses for his own ear, and if
they we.*o not sufficient he wasn't go
ing to admit the fact.
At 10 o'clock the nest morning the
bachelor started for tho hat factory.
He Intended to walk right in and talk
about hats and perhaps pass himself
off as a retailer. It was a small con
cern, employing only about half a dozen
women to sew the braid purchased
somewhere else. The business office
and the workshop were in one, and
tho romnnclst entered to And a woman
about forty years old lu charge. She
explained that the boss had Just step
ped out and asked what was wanted.
Mr. Thompson began to talk about
hats, and he was making slow work of
It when one of tho girls came forward
and said to the woman:
"Excuse me, Mrs. Burton, but ara I
sewing this right?"
"Are you Genevieve Burton?" asked
the bachelor as she turned to him again.
"I-I am," she replied as she tried to
blush.
"You-you wrote your name and slip
ped it behind tho sweatband of this
hat?"
"I did, sir."
"W-whnt was your object?"
"Just a trick of the trade. I am paid
$2 a week extra for that. That's why
we call it the 'Romance' hat. We have
sent out 12,000 hats, and every ono has
my name in. Has It given you a back
ache to find out where the hat was
made?"
"Never again, Genevieve - never
again will 1 believe In woman or ro
mance!" ox ela i m ed Arnold Thompson
In his most tragic tones. And an hour
later he was fleeing the town and try
ing to make himself believe that he was
traveling to broaden bis Ideas on his
own country.
Tho Good Old Fashioned Game.
Uncle Hiram was bewailing tho de
generacy of modern sports. "Look at
baseball." he said. "There ain't half
the fuu In it there was when I wits a
young man. Nowadays the fellers with
tho Kit don't seem to be able to do any
thing with the ball. There's lots of
games when they don't make a run.
"I mind the time when I belonged to
the Fearnaugbts of Pralrletown. There
was a club np in Heddlngvllle that

trying. They challenged us, and we
took 'em up. They come down one

CONDENSED STORIES.
Joko Waa on tho Senator, and He
Acknowledged tho Corn.
John A. Harris used to relate tho
following incident, which happened
in his homo town of Plainfield:
In 1H8G the late Senator Henry
L. Dawes while driving near the
town of Plainfield, not fur from
Cunimington, a native town, lost his
"QUE8S XOU HAYS I/06T, 8ENATOB."
way and secured the services of Wil
liam Reid, a simple minded youth,
to direct him the right way.
Mr. Dawes took the boy in his
carriage, and as they were passing
an extensive pasture the senator re
marked that was "a fine lot of spear
grass."
"That's Herd's grass," remarked
the boy. ,
Vainly the senator tried to ex
plain that the boy was wrong and
iinally made a bet of $10 to a cent
that he (Mr. Dawes) was right and
referred tho matter to Andrew E.
Wells, an old farmer, who knew Mr.
Dawes by sight.
"Guess you have lost, senator,"
said the referee, who'decided the bet
in the boy's favor. "Why, that is
Herd's grass, for it belongs to Tom
Herd." . So Mr. Dawes admitted
that the joke was on him.-Boston

. A Good Thing at a Bad Time.
Mme. Bouguereau, the w.'tfow of
the noted French painter, was Miss
Elizabeth Gardner of Exeter, N. H.,
says the Washington Post.
"Mme. Bouguereau," said an
artist, "has a fund of New^Englnnd
anecdote, which she repeats with a
droll huiror. ^
"I heard her in her studio one
day describing an aged woman of
Exeter. This woman wa? always
saying wise, true things at the
wrong time. Her grandson got
married, and a little while after the
wedding she made the excellent re- i
mark:
"'I am glad Herbert had the
sense to marry a settled old maid.
Young ?als is highty tighty, and
widders is overrulnr and domineer
In'. But old maids is generally
thankful and willin' to please.'
"And the aged dame crocheted
away comfortably, with the con
sciousness . of having said a good
thing. But the look on the face of
Herbert's new wife as she fixed the
old lady with her glittering eye was
suggestive Of anything but meek
ness." : ,.?? ''
