v. to J M -1 -A" THE SORANTON TRIBUNE-WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 1G, 1897. rt Cbe Rome Reading Circle reayrrS. ; s 1 A VISITOR FROM KENTUCKY. By JOSEPH A. Copyright. lflOO, by tlio 1 PART I. TWere was a Btlr In Wllkesburg when the Penrsons arrived from Now York. WlllteoS'ir,; wns a small town on a 1 branch railroad In the hilly region of Kentucky, and time was never a very Important commodity thero. The peo ple crew to bo very large and lived to bo very old. The representative of their district In congress was the great est man they knew, though they heard much of New York, and their notions of It were vague. These dim lmpi-es. slons they derived chiefly from the county newspaper, that fearless nnd vigorous opponent of the trusts nnd monopolies, of which' New York was the home, it Is said, from their con ' pressman, who delivered valiant and terrible blows nt the plutocrats of thn east when w spoke In the little court house square nt Wllkesburg. Ro, without any direct attempt at nn analysis of their feelings, they thought of New York as a sreat but distant shadow, a place where most of the people were entirely given over to unholy greed nnd to all phases of wickedness. The Idea was firmly Im bedded in tho minds of everv man and woman In Wllkesburg that Wilkes burg and the thousands of othvr little places like It scattered bptween the Atlantic and the Pacific were the true salvation of the country nnd Its rocfc of hope In a muddy sea. But the one name that conjured up horrors for them was Wall street. It was the abodo of burnt-ln sin, a kind of witch's plot in which were hrowed nil the evil plans against the peace and welfare of the hanest rural population. They were convinced that New York was rich' and magnificent at their expense, nnd the subject was often discussed, though not in a very bitter way, but ns a thing that It teemed must be, at the regular Saturday afternoon half holiday when the mui gathered around the stove In the general store. Hut their Indefinable feeling of hos tility towards New York did not blunt their npreciatlon of Jim Pearson. Jim was one of themselves, a venturous Kentucklan, who had gone to New York twenty years before, and had shown that he was as good and as smart as the best of the Yankees them selves. At Intervals in those long twenty vears reports of Jim's success would come back. No one else In Wllkesburg or the surrounding country had ever gone as far as New York, and at the caucuses around the stove expressions of admiration of Jim's dar ing were given with warmth and with out reserve. It was a matter of per sonal pride to everyone that a Ken tucklan and a native of their own Wllkesburg should Invade New York and do so well. They heard that Jim had married In New York a few years after his arrival there, and they won dered how many children he had and what he Intended to make of them. They did not suppose he would ever condescend to visit Kentucky again. But when Tom Crockett, who was Jim's first cousin on his mother's side, received a letter from Jim saying that he and his wife were coming to pay him a visit, the news was known all over Wllkesburg In less than threo hours. Mr. Crockett was a bachelor, but he kept house, or rather, an able colored woman kept it for him, in a low but roomy old place that his grand father, who was one of the first settlers, had built. Mr. Crockett was somewhat "flustrated," as he described It, at the unexpected honor, but the ties of kin ship and hospitality are very strong In Kentucky. The Kentucklan of the true blood would rather be a host than a guest, In order that he may do for the others, and Mr. Crockett was delight ed. There was a mighty bustle In his house, and It was soon In fit condition to receive a kinsman who, a victor In a distant clime, was returning after many years to visit his birthplace nnd the friends of his youth. At least that was the way It was put by Jeremiah Brooks, who taught the public school and had poetical ideas. The circle around the stove had n new topic. The silver question, the chances of the next presidency, and the relative bravery of the northern and southern troops in the civil war were retired temporarily In the pres ence of Jim Pearson. There were many opinion? as to the effect of New York upon Jim. Young Sol Haselrlgg, who was clerk In the store and had as plratlons of his own, "reckoned that Mr. Pearson would be stuck up" and would think himself too good for the Wllkesburg people. As for himself, young Mr. HaselrJgg declared he would not take airs from any man, even It he did live In New York. But Mr. Crockett, who was a chlvalrlo man, stood up stoutly for Cousin Jim. He remem bered him well. He was a "right peart" boy, but ho was genuine Kentucky stock and he didn't think New York would corrupt him. Mr. Pearson and his wife arrived one sunshiny Saturday morning and Mr. Crockett was at the train to meet them. He recognized Cousin Jim at once, de spite his New York clothes and the twenty years that had passed. Mr. and Mrs. Pearson were in traveling garb, and Wllkesburg did not have much chance to pass Judgment on them Just then, for Mr. Crockett bore them oft hastily to his house.

Mr, Crockett was much worried be cause they did not bring the children along, ns he wanted to have the whole family with him, but Cousin Jim ex plained that he disliked to Impose on good nature and he had left the boys he had only two children, and they wore both boys nt home with friends. The Pearsons reappeared the next day at the Methodist church with Mr. Crockett and were subjected to a min ute examination by the whole popula tion of Wllkesburg. It was decided after services that their clothes were of very ndvanred type and were the acme of fashion. Young Mr. Hasel rlgg himself was convinced of that, for he noted with great care every de tail of Mr. Pearson's attire. The ver dict upon their manners was reserved for further acquaintance, as that was not a matter upon which Wllkesburg would pass lightly and without ma ture knowledge. There were many who thought that the Pearsons would be "stuck up," but If the evidence indi cated to the contrary they were quite willing to change- their opinions. Mr. Crockett wns over at tho store on Monday morning, and he told the half dozen people who were gossiping there that Cousin Jim and his wife were nil right. They had Now York ways, It was true, but he guessed they couldn't help that, ns Cousin Jim had lived In the big city twenty years and Mrs. Pearson had lived there nil her "life. "But they were taking right kindly to Wllkesburg and weren't try in' to behave toploftlcal," This an nouncement created a distinct feeling In favor of the Pearsons, for Mr. Croc kett was a man of substance and standing In Wllkesburg and what he said was to be received with respect and belief. Tho Penrsons themselves In their own proper persons soon became bet ter known to Wllkesburg nnd were re ceived with considerable favor. They were rather fond of talking nbout tho greatness of New York, nnd Cousin Jim showed how he had expanded, but Wllkesburg folks didn't mind that. Cousin Jim was one of them, and they were glad to hear of his achievement In the metropolis. He was admitted to the Saturday afternoon circle In tho store on terms of amity and equality. It was soon discovered there that he had very little knowledge of politics, nnd the least expert among them could "corner him in an argyllcatlon." But n3 they knew ho had been engrossed for more than twenty years In im portant business affairs they did not lay this up against him. In fact, they were rather glad of It, for while they were willing to confess that Mr. Pear son, had beaten them badly In the race for wealth, thero was consolation In knowing that they were better politi cians than he, for In Wllkesburg reli gion alone takes precedence of politics, nnd every man Is a red-hot partisan. After Wllkesburg had decided that the Pearsons were not "stuck up" de spite their worldly properlty nnd the fashionable cut of their clothes, the people saw that the visitors had a good time, In so far as tho resources of the village went. Mr. Crockett, of course, was especially careful to administer to the wants and pleasures of his guests. He always remembered that Cousin Jim was Kentucky-born and would overlook In Wllkesburg the absence of the luxuries and splendors to which he was accustomed In New York. When the time came for them to return to New York, he was sincerely sorry, but he knew the busy season was coming on and Jim's presence in the great storo there was necessarv. So he reluctantly assisted them In the prepartlons for their departure, urging them many times to come and see him and Wllkes burg again. "We want you to visit us in New York," said Cousin Jim; "but I don't suppose you'll ever be traveling that far. To you It would look like going to the end of the world, wouldn't it?" "I reckon it would," said Mr. Crock ett. "New York's been gettln' along without for me for a long time, an' I guess it'll have to keep on doln' It." Mr. Pearson laughed. Then they shook hands with Mr. Crockett and his friends and were oft for New York, leaving Wllkesburg to discuss their sayings and doings for many months. Mr. Crockett was proud of the Impres sion that Mr. Pearson and his wife had made. Thero was nn unexpected and heavy advance tho following nutumn in the price of White Burley tobacco on the Louisville market. Mr. Crockett was an expert raiser of White Burley, and that season it had heen his luck to put In an unusually large crop. When winter came and his tobacco was sold he found that he had a very pretty sum of money to his credit in the bank. It was so much that he felt rich and able to take a holiday. Thero would be very little, work to do until spring nbout tho farm, which was In trim and tidy fix, and when he gave tho matter further thought he was unable to see any good reason why he should not Indulge his Inclination, Although he soon decided the first point Mr. Crockett was In a state of perplexity for some time over other points, equally Important. Where and how should he take his holiday? Such a thing as a set holiday had no part In the life of the live hundred people who constituted the population of Wilkes tjurg, and the only organized amuse ment ever known in the village was the debating society which met every Frl day In the cold season, In tho school house, and tried very earnestly to de cide whether the Indian had suffered more wrongs than' the negro, or wheth er war or whisky had done the greater injury to man. He might go hunting, but there was no novelty In that, and, besides, tho game was becoming very scarce In the region around Wllkes burg. Tho right idea came to him one even ing when ho was locking the barn door after two days of doubt and inde cision. Ho would go to New York and see the Pearsons. Such' a thing as go lng to New York had never occurred to him before. New York was so far away, and although It must bn real he had never persuaded himself that It was. Yet now that ho thought of It there teemed to be nothing Impossible In th Idea. Ho had plenty of money In tho bank and no kin to look reproachfully at htm It ho should spend It. There wns no reason why ho should not take the trip. There wos much surprise In Wllkes burg when It becamo known that Mr. Crockett was going to New York. It had never been expected of him, and most of tho people doubted his pru dence. They p.rgucd that Mr. nnd Mrs. Pearson In Wllkesburg would come down to the Wllkesburg level, but In New York they would stay on tho New York level, to which Mr. Crockett could not aspire. Consequently his focllngn would get hurt. They gave him much goodidv!ce. But, though ho trembled a little at his own audacity In going so far, Mr. Crockett refused to change his mind. In order to provide against any possible Interference he wrote Imme diately to Cousin Jim that ho was com ing, and the next day followed the letter. As he boarded the train the friendly station agent advised him to hold his chin mighty high or he would make his New York klnfolk ashamed of him nnd Wllkesburg. But Mr Crockett told him not to be scared that cousin Jim was not stuck up and "would take his Kentucky ways kinder easy." PAUT II. The Journey to Louisville was a trlflilng matter. Mr. Crockett had made It more than once before, and he knew what to do. But when he changed cars there and took a through train for New York, he began to lose some of the high confidence with which he had left Wllkesburg. This was the first time he had seen the Interior of a sleeping car, and when tho porter prepared his berth ho approached it with fear and hesitation. At home he was considered a tall man In a tall community, nnd when sleep found him long after mid night, he lay with his knees against the top of his berth. Mr. Crockett triumphed over all the difficulties of the Journey, but when he left tho train at Jersey City and found Cousin Jim waiting for him, his New York relative was as welcome as the sight of water In a thirsty well. "I Just received your letter this morn ing," said Cousin Jim. "It was a big surprise. I never thought you'd come this far. 'I would have telegraphed you, but It was too late, a3 I knew you were already on the way. So I told Mary to make ready for you while I came over to meet you." "Oh, 'twasn't worth while to spend money on the telegraph company. I managed the trip all right," said Mr. Crockett, heartily. "I knew you'd be powerful glad to seeitne, 'cause I recol lect how pressln' you were for me to pay back that visit you made me. How's Mary nnd the boys?" "Oh, they're very well," said Cousin Jim. "You 'pear to be a little peaked your self," said Mr. Crockett, looking crit ically at his companion. Cousin Jim was a thin and rather small man with nervous and uncertain manners. There was no color in his cheeks and his flesh looked flabby. Mr. Crockett could have crushed him in one liand. But he was all brain, Mr. Crockett had explained on the occasion of his visit to Wllkes burg. It was these thin, nervous little men who did great things. Jay Gould had been a thin, little man. Mr. Pear son wore black clothes somewhat faded. "I'm glad to sec you're not puttln' on style and takln' the shine out of me," said Mr. Crockett. "Oh, no," said Cousin Jim, with a lit tle smile; I'm not much of a follower of the fashions hero In New York. I like to be plain, and I stick to my work ing clothes here." "You do credit toyour Kentucky rais in', Cousin Jim," said Mr. Crockett, "and, besides, people in big business don't have much time to bother with fashions, I guess, 'less they're on a holiday." Mr. Crockett's train had arrived In the night, and the trip on the ferry over the river was one of Interest and delight. Before him sparkling with many lights lay the great city, long and nnrrow like a gleaming sword blade thrust out Into the sea. Mr. Crockett was glad that he had came to New York. "I hope Cousin Mary hasn't put her self out for me," he said . "Taln't worth while to make any fuss and bus tle over me. Just let a servant fix a bed for me tonight, and to-morrow when I've played around on the grass awhile with the children I'll go down to the store and see how you boss things." "We have no yard," said Cousin Jim with some haste. "This Is New York, you know. It's not like Kentucky. Even the Vanderbllts and Astors don't have yards. Mr. Crockett was taken aback some what. Land must be mighty dear in New York, he said. When they reached the New York side they walked to the elevated read and entered a train that carried them several miles uptown. Leaving the train they turned Into a street which Mr. Crockett thought the great city of New York ought to light better. "You mustn't expect much of us," said Cousin Jim, deprecatlngly. "Wo don't go In for any groat style. You know I'm only a plain man from Ken tucky and Mnry looks at things Just as I do." "That's right! That's right;" said Mr. Crockett, with great heartiness. "A man oughtn't to bo betler'n his raisin', no matter how well he gets along. New York hasn't spoiled you, Cousin Jim, an' I'm mlglity glad to see that It hasn't." They came to a large building with a plain brick front. Some Ill-kept chil dren were playing In the street and ono of them raised tho cry: "Country' Country!" when the long-legged Ken tucklan towering more than, a head above Cousin Jim, stalked up.

Crockott did not know that the cry wns aimed at hltn, and his peace ot mind wns not disturbed. Mr. Peaison stepped Into tho door way. There were rows of tin tubes on cither side of the narrow entrance. Ho pressed something fixed in a brass plato under ono of tho tubes. Mr. Crockett watched him with great curi osity, but the experience ho had uo qulrcd on his Journey, added to his na tive shrewdness, mnde htm too cau tious to ask questions. Nevertheless he was surprised when the door flew open, and ho came very near to making some comment. But ho restrained himself and followed Cousin Jim Inside. Mr. Pearson led the way up a narrow staircase. There was no carpet on tho steps, and n close, heavy odor as of air that had been breathed more than once, filled the )inll. A lamp glimmer ed feebly nt a turning In tho stalrcane. "Cousin Jim is a little more savin' than I reckoned ho wns," thought Mr. Crockett, "but It's Just as well, I'm a keerful man myself." They climbed up and up, and It seem ed to Mr. Crockett that they would nover come to tho end of these steps. He was a muscular man and could have thrown Cousin Jim over his shoulder and carried hltn a quarter of a mile without feeling any overwhelming ex haustion, but he was not accustomed to climbing steps. "You live pretty high up.'pcars to me, Cousin Jim," he risked nt last. "Yes," said Mr. Pearson with a faint smile; "It's healthier, you know. The higher you go the better the air." Mr. Crockett hud not thought of that. But the end of those steps came at last and they knocked at a door five flights from the ground. They were welcomed by Mrs. Pearson, a small woman, who was pallid nnd flabby like her husband. Mr. Crockett wns a gallant man nnd he did not forget the ties ot kinship. He opened his arms and gave. Mrs. Pearson a hearty embrace. Then he kissed her on the check. A little color como Into her pale face. "Powerful glad to see you, Cousin Mary," palal Mr, Prockett, "and It perked me up mightily to see Cousin Jim, too, standln' there on tho plat form when the train came up. I'd a-had a neskv hard time flndln' yoii all by myself In this great city. Now don't you tucker vourself out foolln' with my vnllse and overcoat. Just let your servant take 'em and throw 'em Into tho corner nnvwhere.'" "The fact Is," said Mr. Pearson, "our sen-ants '-ft Us yesterday and We haven't " b able to get others that suited ui . Haven't you read In the papers a the trouble we have In the cities with servants? Always dis satisfied, always striking. There's no getting along with them. I really be lieve Its sometimes easier to let them go entirely and do one's own work." "That's so! That's sol" assented Mr. Crockett, cheerfully. "I wouldn't have no slouchln' servants 'foolln' around me. I like doln' my own work, but It might bo different with Cousin Mary. She don't 'pear to be real strong." "Oh, yes, I am strong," said Cousin Mary. "My lookti deceive you." In prooi of her words she snapped up tho valise and overcoat and disap peared with them down a dark and pinched little hall. Mr. Crockett was taken presently Into the front room, where he htruck twice against chairs nnd once against the wall. An oil lamp stood or: the dresser and Cousin Jim apologized for the dimness of Its light. "It's bad, I know," ho said, but the gas company Is such a robber. Every month they'll send In a bill for two or three times the amount of gas you really use. It's not so much the money we mind, but it's the principle of the thing. That's the reason we had our meter taken out. It's the only way you can fight these grasping corporations. Lots of the millionaires on Fifth ave nue have done the same thing." Mr. Crockett admired Cousin Jim's stand for principle. He had a great horror for all corporations, which he was convinced were ruining the coun try, and he was heart and soul with Cousin Jim In his fight against the gas company. But this did not drive away the sense of physical uneasiness which had seized him when he entered the room. He did not know wheie to put himself. The chairs seemed to small for his bulky frame, and he was afraid that If he stretched out his legs they would reach from one wall to the other. Mr. Crockett was accustomed to wide areas and ho felt suffocated. Mrs. Pearson spread a white cloth on a small tablo and brought In some coffee and cold meat and bread and butter. Mr. Crockett was hungry, hun grier than he liked to say, and he pulled up his chair with alacrity when Cousin Jim Invited him to attack the food. But ho was, surprised to see that Mr. and Mrs. Pearson took no hand at the knife and fork. He asked them to Join him. He said he didn't think It was manners for him to eat alone. But Cousin Jim shook his head. "We ate dinner," he said, with the same faint little smile, "before I went down to the train to meet you. Wo ate so heartily that wo really have no appetite now for anything more." Mrs. Pearson nodded assent. Mr. Crockett turned to tlte meat and coffee again with a relieved conscience. He was surprised to find how extreme ly hungry he was. He was a very largo man and required plenty of food. Slice after slice of tho meat and the biead and butter disappeared, and Mr. Crockett became conscious, presently, that Cousin Mary was watching him with keen, apprehensive eyes. He reached the last slice of meat and won dered why Cousin Mary did not bring more. But she made no movement. Mr. Crockett was sorely tempted to eat that ono remaining slice, but ho had been taugh't In Kentucky that It was not good manners ttj take tho last piece of food from the plate, and so, after a struggle, he let It alone. AVhen he pushed Ms chair back, and while Cousin Mary was hurriedly taking the things away, he inquired about tho boys. "They're asleep now," slid Cousin Jim. "They have to rise nlways very early In the morning, and I make them go to bed soon after dark." "School must take up powerful ear ly here," said Mr. Crockett, "If boys have to tum'ble cut of bed thatway. They must be mighty smart boysllvin' here In Npw York all their lives. Know Greek and Latin and all them things, don't they?" "I've taken them away from school," raid Cousin Jim, exchanging glances with Ms wife. I'm a prncticol man, you know. This Is a workaday age. Boys can study books so much that they become unfit r real life; so I have put mlno to work, I want to glvo them a training that will inako them keen, hard-headed business men." Thero was sense In that, Mr. Cock ett said, and nobody ough't to know better than Cousin Jim. Still, it seem ed a pity to make boys fend for them selves when so young. But as Cousin Jim stood up stoutly for his theory, anil Cousin Mary supported him in It, lie did not proas tho point. He said ho was sorry he couldn't see tho boys until morning, but ho reckoned ho oughtn't to disturb thorn. As it was late and he was tired, ho hinted that he would like to go to bed also.

While giving it time to turn Itself over In his mind he looked out at the Interminable roofs and concluded once again that land must be mighty dear In New York. TO BE CONCLUDED. SAYINGS OF JEFFERSON. Political dissensions Is a less evil than tho lethargy of despotism: but still It Is a great evil, nnd It would be as worthy tho efforts of the patriot as of the philoso pher, to excludo Ha influence, It possible, from social life. Cultivators ot tho earth aro tho most valu'ablo citizens. They aro the most vig orous, tho most Independent, the most virtuous, and they aro tied to their coun try and wedded to Its liberty ana inter est by the most lasting 'bonds. Freo government Is founded in Jealousy and not In confidence. What has destroyed tho liberties and rights of man In every government which has over existed under tho sun? Tho con centrating nil powers In ono body, no mat ter whether of tlio autocrats of Itusala or of tho aristocrats of the Venetian sen ate. An elective despotism was not tho gov ernment we fought for, but ono which should not only bo founded on free prin ciples, but In which tho powers of govern ment should bo so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits without being effectually checked and restrained by tho others. Education Is tho only sure foundation that can bo devised for tho preservation of freedom and happiness. It has been thought that corruption Is restrained by confining the right of suf frage to a few of the wealthier of the peo-' pie; but It would be more effectually re strained by an extension of that right to such numbers as would bid defiance to tho means of corruption. Among tho most Inestimable of our blessings 13 that of liberty to worship our Creator In the way we think moat agree able to His will: a liberty deemed in other countries incompatible with good gov ernment, and yet proved by our expcrl enco to bo Its best support. Wealth acquired in speculation and plunder is fusacloua in Its nature, and fills society with the spirit of gambling. I know no safe depository of the ulti mate powers of the society but tho peo plo themsolves; and If wo think them not enlightened enough to exercise their con trol with n. wholesome discretion, tho remedy Is not to take It from them, but to inform their discretion by education.
