Tho people of Pennsylvania think they
aro pretty well posted on buzzards.
They, and the people all over the coun
try, ate pretty well acquainted with the
Welsh Mountain Buzzard g.mg.and Abe
liuzzanl has been the special object of
the novel reading youngsters' ambition,
auJ the local prayer meetings In that
part of the Koysto.no State for several
years.
We aro not lo be outdone here In the
South. We have blizzards turkey buz
zards. They are generally mistaken by
Northern visitor) for lar'o chicken
hawks. They sail about through the
a!r exactly like hawks. When they
alight on the ground or u trco they look
like full grown turkeys.
These birds are scavengers, and hold
high carnival over thu carcasses of dead
animals and fowls. Hut tinlike the
Northern crow their carvival is a silent
one. As one of these largo birds sails
gracefully through the air the possessor
of a ride naturally has a tlcblru to. try
his hand at such a mark. Hut the law
says that who ever kills abuzzird shall
pay tho penally, They are about the
only kind of, bird I know ot that Is pro
tected by the South.
I have beep told that In Charleston, S.
C, tho buzzards are so tame that thry
walk at pleasura through the market
houses; dcvourlngthe scraps of offal and
tainted meat that are thrown to them.
rSome market men, I presume, have pet
buzzards, and to kick ono out of tho w ay
woultl subject the kicker to a great deal
of annoyance.as the rule would be 'Who
ever kicks my buzzard kicks me.'

Persimmons aro now ripe. -They are j
not known as a fruit In the' North. The
nearest approach tho Northern man gets
to a persimmon Is when Jie reads a po
litical editorial on the follies and wick
edness of the political situation which
probably starts out with the remark
that "It Is the largest pole that gets the.
persimmons."
Now ono can get all the persimmons
he wants without .any pole whatever
especially if they are unripe. A loaded
persimmon tree Is not as dangerous as a
loaded mnle, but It is a right smart
handsome sight to behold with thenaked
eye. The fruit looks something liko a
crab-apple, and when rlpa tastes liko a
date. An unripe persimmon U not sour;
neither Is It bitter. It is puckery. One

" 'Simmon puldhig' " Is al.-o adellcacy
peculiar in tho South. In tho main,
however, the crop falls to tho ground

The weather here now Is like a dream.
Tho days are lovely. The breezes arc
balmy. The nights are pleasant. Frost
has hardly touched even the exposed
parts of the state. An,l people who are
used to the severe changes and rigors of
the colder North are in ecstasies of de
light over our cllm ite. Our soil is very
productive and the Northern man who
contemplates goln; Sou. It can do no
better than to locate at Sau'hern Pines.

Uncle George.
Uncle (leorgc Hroivn, a "re-Tail deal
er in coal," as he expresses It, on Plum
street, between Cth.and l.ongivoith, bn
familiar llgurc to all wh'0havc had
business in that locality for the last
twenty years. He is always happy and
ready to talk to any one iu ivgard to
business, polities or religion. Ills place
of business Is In a cellar under a drug
store, and here-ho- manufactures kind
ling, which he sells now for 5 cents a
bunch. "Used to get 10 cents a bundle
untwell the hahd times come. Can't
do it no luoali, gab," said he. His coal
lie keeps in colfei-saeks, a bushel In
each sack, and when he has a purchaser
he shoulders a sack and delivers It at
once. A Post reporter met him yester
day near his place of business and ac
costed him witn: "Well, Uncle George,
you are still at the old stanJ. I sec."
"Part of me part of me, sah yes,
sab, It am, for a fae'."
"Well, how Is business?'1
"Mighty dull, sah mighty dull. You
see, I do u retail business, nnd it Is al
ways bad in tliesutnmah time; but worse
now dan cbah. It's a llvein' up to'ards
winter, though, sah."
"Uncle Oeorge, how long have you
been In Cincinnati?"
'Em I hardly know, sah. Come
hero endurtn' the wah, sah. Must be
twenty-lire years ago, ain't It?"
"You were a slave then, wore you?"
"Yes, sah; I belougo.l to Marstcr
Tom Croucher, down at cr Perryvlllc,
Ky. He was a good marstcr, too: but 1
wanted to get away when the lighting
commence. I did, for a fac'."
"Were you a soldier, Uncle George?"
"I was tho first colored man that en
listed In the army In Kentucky, but 1
only done it 'cause they promised I
should never haie to go to tho front to
fight, you know, unless wo war sur
runded, and then U war cbcry one for
himself, ob course."
"Well, but tell mehow you came here
during the war, If you enlisted? Did yot
desert?"
"Well, I jess tun off, sah, I did, for a
fac. You see marstcr was a guvmunt
o.rtccr dow n thar, anil I was working
around the stoali, and one of tho clerks
gare mo u pass through the lines to
Ohio as a free man. I had that done i
hid away three month foah I corae,'sah,
I did, for a fac'. Audi took the fust
chance anil come to Ohio,"
"Did they nercr try to get you back?"
"They did for a fac', sail yes Indeed,
they did. When I got hero I went to
work portering at the Hurnet house.and
somebody betrayed me. So one night,
as I was going home arter my work was
done, seven of 'tin eurroiuidotl me, sah,
on !id st,, between Vino 'and Pace, but
I hal a pulh of sci.cn-3lioo!(;rs', and I
nu te up my m'n'd to die bofp' I would
go back, Wlien they seod howl war
flxod they dropped back and let me pats
on, but I war hid away for a Ion? time,
sail, i war for a ftc'. '
"What did you do after that?"
"l'irs porter for Mars John Mitchell

V"e was nothing but property then, yen
know, jess like bosses and sheep.
Seems like us poor black folks alius ben
bad treated, tho' the Lawd made the

'I suppose you take an. Interest in
politics, do you not?"
"Wal, I can't do much at it. I go
right ahead with my business, and doan
meddle with It ruuih. Still, I like any
thing that's of intrust to the United
States. I do, indeed."
"How do you I.ke this prohibition
ticket that's being talked of so much?"
"That'a good, sah, but still I could
do without It. I like to take a little
beau once in awhile, but when it comts
to going to success I think they bettah
stop selling of It. I do for a fac'; yes
Indeed."
"My mamma wants a bushel of coal
fight oil, and she don't want no wood,"
said ono of two little mites at tho top of
the. stairs at tills in )in. nt.
"All right, honey, I'll 20 right with
you," said Uncle George
'"Sense me for a couple of minutes.
I'll be right back," said hn to the ic
porter, and, shouldering a sank, he
trotted away. In the specified time ho
came back, whistling as lie came, and
with:
"Whew! It makes . the old man
blow," he settled back for another ialk'.
'You belons to church, don't Vou,
Uncle George?" thclnquisltlve rccortcr
began. :J t
"I do. sah. I'm a baptist all over
dese United States. Yes, sah, I'm a
baptist. Makes 110 dlffeicncc what you
are, so you know God. but I'm a bap
tlst, and so's all my family, 'eept my
son; ho kinder went off, but all the rest
Is baptists."
"Used to preach, I suppose, or did
you?"
"Yes, sah, I used to preach, but 1
ain't lately. I used to talk a great deal,
but ain't lately, all through my own
neglect, sah. I got n little hurt at the
minister and hurt at myself and jess got
out of the way of talking, but I'd be
w illing to die In the cause, sah, indeed
I would. Hut seems like lately I've had
to skirmish around to make a living,
and times so hard, business dull, and il
sorter soured me for a syeli. Pvo been
almost ileprolllcd dis suminah."
"You find it hard to make a living
now, do jon?"
"Powerful hard, sah, but then I man
aje to skirm along somehow."
"Uncle George, have you ever been
hick to your old home In Kontucky?"
"No sah: mlsstls has wrote for mo to
romo and tole me she would stand tho
expense, but I tell you, sah, seems like
I can't think of it; I'm afraid. Why.
sah. Mars Mitchell he lives over in Cov
ington, and I go to sco him once In a
while, but jess as soon as I git on the
bridge and purty near over I gits weak.
I doan know why, but I jess gets weak,
and can't stay only a few minutes after
I git thar. I doan know, maybe If 1
live two or three years longer I may go
down and see. old mlsst', but I can't do
It now; I can't, Indeed,"
A man coming down to see the kindly
old colored coal-merchant on buslnc::,
the reporter tald good day.
"Good artcrnoon, sah, come round
agin when yon have a few minutes; I'm
alius glad to talk to you," and, turning
around, the old man was immediately
up lo his cars virtually In a bargain
with the man for a bundle of kindling
wood. HE CATJQHT A TABtAR.
A couple of young folks who boro
unmistakable evidence of being from Ihe
country, and who were mlstaked by a
would.bo-smart clerk for greenhorns,
called nt a well-known bouse furnishing
store on Market street, tays a Philadel
phia paper,an.l unrolled a sheet of pa. er
as lout; at a man's arm, began buying a
large number of articles, tho names of
whleiuhcy scratcheij from the pajier as
soon as the goods were put asldo.
"Two wash boilers,"
"Jlmminy.yott folks are going to have
a lot cf dirty clothes, teems to nie,"
flippantly commented tho clerk, as he
set the boilers aside,
"Two of tbeso wringers," said tbe
man, indicating tbe kind be wanted.
'Ho, ho," patronizingly observed the
clerk. "I guess you are going to start a
laundry down at Squulivillc."
Thi 1 1 ly looked Indignant ,but neither

"Ono for you and ono for Manar."
gleefully .warbled the clerk each tlmoho
laid aside tho coupjes after that. When
the buying was completed the rvistomor
sajd; "Now,, loolc here, frcshy. I want
you io divide those goods into twocqucl
lots, without any duplicates iu cither
lot, and send ono to Ab'ucr Sheldcn,
Spring City, nnd the other to Charloi
It. Gttrney, Hlrdsborotih. Do you
understand?" "'
"Yes," was the somewhat doubtful
assent of the clerk.
"Well," continued tho countryman,
"these goods are to b,- sent C. 0. D.,and
If you gel anyot them mixed up, and I
have lo tend any cf my batch to my
bi-other-ln-law, or he has to send any. lo

thing I want to My to you before I go
out. l will he obliged lo you If you will
tell your employer that Unless he finds.a
more civil clerk I shall fiud another
place to do my buying.".
As tho countryman and bis wife
walked out, arid the clerk tried to make
up a satisfactory explanation to the old
gentleman, who had stepped out of life
back office just before the customer's
parting shot, It is probable ho resohed
nevsr to chaff a "greenhorn" again.
A MOTHER'S T.CT.
Themotler was tewing Imlly, nrd
Josic, sitting cn tliccaipet leslde'hcr,
a:id provided with doll, rounded scissor,
and some old magazines, iva3 Just' 33
busily cutting out pictures.
"It would litter the carpet," to said
Aunt Martha, w ho had co:no In for n
:ozy chat Mamma knew tbta, but s'
knew that a few minutes work wcnld
make It all right again, and Joilc was
happy.
All went well until tho little boy found
thar, he had cut off the leg. cf a horse
that ho had consldcied'a marvel of
beauty. It was a real CiJapi ointment
and giicf to Jhe little 0:1c.
"Mamma,, scut" and, half crying, he
held it up.
"Play he's holding up one fcot,',1 '.the
mother said quickly. , ' '
"Do real horses, mamma?','
"Oh, yes, sometimes."
'I will," and buniliine chased ayvaj
the cloud that in another minute woulc
have rained down. -
Il was a little thing, tho inothcr't
answer; but the quick sympathy, tbi
ready tact, made It all right. Tbe boy'i
heart was comforted, nud ho went ci
with 110 jar on nerves or temper, am
auntie's call lost ucno of Its pleasant
ness,
'I am tiicd of cutting p'eccs, mam
ma," said Josie, after a v bile.
"Well, get vonr horse wason, and
play those bits of paper are wood and
you are going to bring mo a load. Draw
Il over to that center by the fire and put
them into tho kindling box; play that'6
the wocd-liouse."
Pleased and proud, tho little teamster
drew load after load till the papers were
nil picked up, without his ever thinking
that ho was doing anything but play.
