The "Kunjerin' " of Sally Ann.
y DAVID YOUNG.
1 . , i
T THOUGHT It rather lmrd that Pris.
'I cilia slioulri follow me to the gnr
Sen, whither 1 hud bctnken myself foi
the express purpose of enjoying my own
octet, but scarcely whs I established
before bIic arrived, smiling and urbane,
nd bo perfectly sure of a welcome as
to be positively exasperating.
"You looked so lonesome, Miss Mary,"
be said, seating herself on the grass,
Mat I 'lowed I'd jine you; Hain't good
for young folks ter flock by deysolvcs,
"sides 1'se In trubble, an I wonts you
ter 'vWe me.
"Well, what can I do for you?"
"You kin hep me a lot, Mjss Mary;
hit's Sally Ann what's In trubble; yes
nm, Sally ain't hed no luck Renee tie
day she was borned; fus tunnin a kittle
of bilin' water over herself when she
warn't no nior'n a baby, den bein'
mnned by a cow crossin thru Gineral
Helhercourt's parsture, an here lately
fwine nn' gitten 'kunjercd' by dat no
onnt little gal what cooks fur Mister
Legroue."
"Angie?" I exclaimed.
"Yessum, nn' alongst of onquirit-eyed
nigger what ain't wuth de hot ter kill
Mm wid."
"If he's nil hat," I snld, "why should
Sully Ann want him?"
"Miss Mary, dere ain't no eountln' on
g&lti; I'se lived a long time an' I'se
tanned a heap, but I'se never construct
td myself ez ter what a gul's gwine ter
do! Nathan Lewis, de nigger what's
caused all de 'citement, wuz keepin'
enmpny wid Sally (dcy was traduced at
de picnic what de Congregation of
Blessed Sinners guv at de grove), an',
eetn' ez Sally ain't nothin' on looks an'
warn't likely ter git anoder thance, me
an Ilinery 'elded ter make no 'jections
ter de match.
"Everything wuz gwine on srooovely
when Sally Ann ain't hed no better
sence don ter vite Angie ter supper one
night when Nathan was dere. Well,
Miss Mnry, you mnyn't believe hit, but
he ain't no mo'n set eyes on dat nig
ger 'fore she gin ter 'tract him; sich
gwrtnrs on i never seedl
"Sally Ann she ain't dun nuffln but
ery all night, an' Ilinery he sez ter her
ez he: 'You got jest w hat you 'sarved;
ain't got no more gumption den ternx
dat gnl here. I reckin you'll liow bet
ter nex' time.' Well, Miss Mnry, Na
than nin't bin near us sence, 'ceptin'
once, nn' don twuz ter ax Hinery fur de
loan of a quurter, nn' Sally Ann she's
bin gwine roun' like a sick chicken,
never talkin' ter nobuddy an' not sleep
In' nn' actin' so contrary, dat we knows
Angle's dun 'kunjured' her."
"Nonsense," said I, "I expect Sally is
low spirited and you are too easily
frightened."
"No, ma'am; she's bin 'kunjered;'
Monday night de fedders in her piller
wuz cram full of lumps."
"That often happens."
"An' larst night she foun' a dade
chicken hade In her bade!"
"The cat took it there, of course; peo
ple don't conjure each other nowa
days." "White folks don't, MIbs Mary, but
niggers duz; an Ise dat trubbled 'bout
Bally Ann, dat Ise pretty nigh 'stracted.
Ilinery sez ter me ez he wuz leavin' dis
mornin': 'Priscilla,' sez he, 'why don't
you insult Miss Mary? D'ere ain't
nothin she can't do, an' cf you splalns
ter her de sark'imstances of de case, I
tow she'll 'vise somethin' ter set things
straight.' "
"Henry overrates my abilities," Ire,!
narked (not caring whether Priscilla
understood me or not), "but I'm willing
to do anything to help you, because
Bally is nn honest girl nnd I hate to
think of her being ill."
"An' youse gwine ter help me?"
"Oh, yes; if I can."
"Lor, chile! I knows you'll 'cotnplish
omethin', case when you sets your
tention ter ennything you don' low
yourself ter be beat."
"WVll, go away now and leave me to
' think about it,"
So Priscilla departed, nnd a few min
utes later my coubin, Philip Denn. saun
tered across the grass to me; in his
arms he carried something brown and
velvety and altogether lovely.
"For you," he said, putting it down
on my knee." .
"Oh, Phil," I cried, "a setter puppy!
How good of you.'1
""Wi ll, you Know you wanted one."
"1 did; but where did you ft it?"
"Nathan Lewis, a negro whom I bailed
out of jail (drunk Saturday night, the
usual thing), brought it to me yester
day." "Nathan Lewis; and you sny he Is un
der obligations to you?"
"Yes," in groat surprise.
"Then he will do anything for you?"
"No that doesn't follow."
"I suppose not; but there can be no
harm in trying."
"Trying what?" asked Phil. "My
brain moves slowly."
"Listen," I suid, nnd I hastily nar
rated the story wneroin Nathan played
the part of hero und Angle that of the
villain.
"Well, upon my word," said he,
"fancy anyone sighing for Nathan."
"You forget," I replied, "Sally Ann
nin't nothin' on looks an' never hed no
luck nohow."
"Poor Sally Ann," said Phil.
"Poor, Indeed," I replied.
"Well, look here," said he, "I'll make
a bargain w ith you. If you manage An
gle, I'll see to Nathan." I
"Very well. I shall depend on you."
"Good I Now suppose we talk of ;
something else. Did you get those
books I sent you?" j
That night I gave Priscilla n small
vial of golden liquid (and how could
he ,, recognize Fred's fuvorite char
treuse), and snld. Impressively:
. "Give this to Sally. IVIscilln. Tell her !
, o take four droj of ft, in glusi of wa- '
ter, every nlfrht, as the clocu strikes
12, mid see that she says, us she swal
lows It:
"If I drink thla precious chnrni,
PplrliH ennnut do me harm I"
Priscilln's eyes swelled, but she re
pented, slowly:
"Kf I drinks dis preshus chnrm
Sperrits nin't gwine ter do me harm."
"That's right," 1 said, "make her take
tt until she hears from me and you'll be
surprised to find how fast she im
proves." Fred joined me shortly after Triscilla
disappeared.
"Mary," said he, "you're the biggest
goose Living; the idea of teaching that
durky all that rubbish."
"My dear boy," I replied, "one must
fit the cure to the malady. Sally really
thinks she is conjured, and if I used or
dinary methods would allow her mind
to influence her, and ultimately fade
way; ns It is, I have hopes of her recov
ery." ' "I expect you are right," he said, "you
usually arc!"
"Thank you to much; by the way, I
see you are going to the 'Quarters;'
please tell Angie 1 want to see her."
"If I don't forget."
"See that you don't; this is very im
portant." That his memory proved faithful was
evidenced by the arrival of Angle the
next day Angie in a gorgeous and im
possible costume of white cheese cloth
and a big hat freighted with roses.
When this delightful vision bright
ened my humble apartment, I said:
"Angie, I sent for you because I've re
ceived a letter from Mrs. Doane asking
if you were still on the place, as she
wants to engage you as cook; she says
she has not forgotten your batter cakes
(for Angie had eooked for us during
one of l'riseilla's brief absences), and
faithless friend though the might be
was a jewel among servants. I saw Mr.
Legroue this morning and he told me he
had no objection to your going; and I
felt sure you would want to go, for the
city will suit you better than the coun
try, won't it?"
"Yessum, dese folks roun' here, sho
is common."
If Angie could have divined my un
complimentary thoughts she would not
have looked at me so smilingly, but for
tunately eyes do not speak, so she was
blissfully unaware of my sentiments.
"Think it over," I said, "and let me
know what you decide. You'll have io
go before Sunday or Mrs. Doane will
give the place to some one else."
"I'll go, Miss Mary," cried Angie.
"Dere nin't nothin' ter keep me."
"I didn't think so," I replied. "I
knew you held yourself above the peo
ple on the place." (Ilorrid little snob,
I thought.)
"Yessum, dere ain't nobuddy fitten
ter 'soclate wid here."
"Then I'll write to Mrs. Doane to ex
pect you?"
"Yessum."
So early Saturday morning, Angle de
parted for "green fields and pastures
new," and that same afternoon Phil
called to acquaint me with the success
of his own machinations.
"I sent for Nathan," he said, "and
told him I'd give him the place of hos
tler if he were only married. In fact,
that I would hold the offer open until
he could find himself a wife, provided
she were of the right sort, 1 wanted
her to take charge of the dairy and
didn't want any airified city negress
around, but an honest downright ugly
one the uglier the better, 'l'riseilla's
Sally would do,' he said ungallantly,
'but Ise had oder 'tentions. 'Oh, well,
said I, "it doesn't matter, but I thought
you'd jump at a place where you'll get
$13 a month, besides board and a cabin.
And as to Sally Ann, I've heard Miss
Kasley soy she was one of the best girls
on their place. "
"Dafs true, Marse Phil," he said, "I
in't 'sputin' what you say; but dere'a
dat little Angie; I 'lowed ez "
"Angie," I said, derisively, "she
wouldn't look at you; besides she's
gone to New Orleans. Mr. Legroue told
me this morning he was out of a cook."
"You don't 6esso," said Nat han, "well,
bein' ez dat's so, I reckon I'll go an' '
see Sally Ann."
"You'd better hurry," I remarked,
"for the first thing you know some
other fellow will cut in ahend of you."
"Oh, rhil," I cried, "how could you?"
"Surely, you know," he replied, "that
nothing stimulates the masculine ardor
like the fear of a rival." Nathan was
departing, certain of conquest; Sally
Ann was therefore in a way valueless;
by my untruthful, but potent speech,
I have sent her stock up many de
grees. "In love and war you know the
adage; but to change the subject, I am
driving a new horse; won't you try hint
with me?"
An hour or so later, as we were com
ing slowly home, we met Sally and
Nathan walking down the road to the
"quarters." Phil checked his horse aa
we passed nnd callt'd out: "Well, Na
than, I hope you were successful?"
"Yesslr," he replied, grinning, "hit's
all right."
"Miss Mary," said Sally Ann, coming
round to my side of the cart, "I nin't
gwine ter furgit dat you cured me of
bein' 'kunjured. Widout you I'd hev
bin pintedly dn'de."
"Oh, no, Sally," I protested, "you
j weren't to ill as nil that."
"Yessum, I wuz, but I took your med'-
cln' reg'lar an' said dat potry reel keer
ful, an' Ise all right, but ef hit hadn't
bin fur you I'd bev bin dade an' berried
an' I ain't gwine ter ferglt it neider."
"Marse Phil," called Nathan, as we
were driving off, "you wuz mistooken
about dat oder nigger, Sally Ann sny
nobuddy ain't wantln' ter marry her
'ceppen me."
"Isn't that too much," I exclaimed;
"fancy her letting him know!"
Phil looked pensively at his whip.
"You wouldn't advise a falsehood, I'm
Hire."
"Of course not," Indignantly, "but
Uiere are wayt of doing these things."
"Yes," he agreed,' "there are certain
ly 'ways,' " N. O, Tluies-Deraoernt. j

CURRENT COMMENT.
We have for genorntlons boasted
that this Is tho land of tho froo nnd
the home of tho brave, nn asylum for
the. oppressed of all nntions. Now our
rulers deem It desirable to expand, nnd
we start, out. to slaughter n simple peo
ple nnd take their land for our own.
Isn't thla a pretty picture of Inconsist
ency for a government boasting of Its
Christian citrilttntlon?
Philadelphia has secured the Repub
lican nntlninl convention, nnd now she
is trying to have the national head
quarters located there. That would be
strictly In accord with the eternal fit
ness of things, especially If Mark Han
na Is to be the chief bottle holder, ns
soems likely. He would take to the
Philadelphia method of carrying elec
tions as readily rs a duck runs to
water. He would find It cheaper per
haps, and no more demoralizing than
the wholesnlo bribery and Intimidation
used to pull McKlnley through in 1890.
Yes, by all means let Marcus locate
headquarters and hindquarters, too. If
he likes, in Philadelphia, for many of
the Philadelphia fellows who see a
horrid political specter in Matthew
would take kindly to Mark.
In spite of all the paeans sung to the
goddess of prosperity "murder will
out." A few days ago a Washington
dispatch gave tne Information that
Secretary Gage had that day received
telegrams from bankers in all parts of
the country, declaring that a financial
panic was impending, and urging him
to take Immediate steps to prevent it.
What was the good Mr. Gage to do?
He knows that we have more money
than we need, because he said so; but
he at once decided to buy bonds to the
amount of $25,000,000, so as to get the
money out ot his way simply, and also
agreed to send out $50,000,000 of the
government's money to be deposited in
national banks. Of course the banks
had no use for it, because, according to
Mr. Gage and his golden crew, we have
nil the money we need. But it wns
perhaps In Mr. Gage's way, and he sent
It out. When such men as Gage talk
about our having more money than we
need and use that as an argument to
deceive the people into favoring the
single gold standard it is a pity that
the fate which befel Ananias and Sap
phire might not have a. new illustra
tion, as the old seems1 to have lost its
effect.
Professional military gentlemen aro
the vainest lot of human peacocks on
the face of the earth, showing their
self importance in every movement as
they strut about togged out in tinsel
and feathers. Naturally they are the
greatest braggarts in existence, and
can make the tamest sort of an engage
ment a heroic and terrible contest, a
brilllnnt attack or a most gallant
charge. When defeated It is always
overwhelming numbers, and the re
treat is simply a withdrawal in splen
did order. General Methuen In send
ing an account of the skirmish nt Mod
der river described It as the "bloodle3t
battle of the century," and said he was
confronted by at least 8,000 Boers. It
turned out thnt the Boer force was but
600 and the British loss 73 killed and
about 400 wounded. Perhaps it was
blue blood that the general had in
mind that made things sq bloody, for
a little of that In his estimation would
undoubtedly go a long ways. One
would think from Roosevelt's descrip
tion of the skirmish at San Juan that
it was like Methuen's, one of the blood
iest engagements of the world's histo
ry, yet it was but a scratch, with little
loss of life, which might have been still
less had somebody with less dress pa
rade courage and more judgment been
in Roosevelt'a place.
Fairy Itlnirs.
Mr. Steele has an article In Knowledge
on "Fairy lungs, those green circles in
pastures which were formerly believed
to be caused by the midnight revelry
of the fairies. They are caused by a
fungus whose spawn spreads centrif-
agaU-f tn every direction and forms a
common felt frcas which the fruit rises
at its extreme edge, the soil of the inner
disk is exhausted, and the spawn dies
there while it spreads all round in an
oufnard direction and produces an
other crop, whose spnwn spreads again
The raDk growth of the grasses com
posing these rings it probably due to
the fungus taking up from the bou or
ganic nitrogen which 1b not available
to the grasses, and in some way be
coming the medium of supply of the soil
nitrogen to the grasses forming the
circle.
