A CniLoa Expeuiknt. A little
girl about lour years eld trotted down
to Atlanta Dock the other day, says a
New York correspondent to buy eomi
corn for her Jnothor's chicken's. . She
had a pail in.hor baud in whjch to put
jhe com, but before she. reached' the
spot vrh'ere aha ' was uccustomod 1
to find r it, sho'camo to a cack of
hooey. Tikis was not to bo passed Jby
without, an effort to obtain some of it.
The men at, work within the dock, uo
obsr.rved by the child watched'' her at.
tempts to reuih tho seet temptation,
iler littlo anus wcr; too bLart for, the
tnterprise. but after a Moment's eonsid
cratiou. hhe took off her shoa and stock
ing,' rolled up her drawers, and climb
jog up on something againft which the
ca.-k stood, let down her foot at.d ankle
into the honev : then she drew it up.
and with her hand scraped off the ooney
into her pail. This she related until
the pail was lull, when uhe weDt to tho
waterside and wroed, and replacin"
her shoe and. stocking, started with her
spurt for "home. A man followed her
an.3 heard her tell her mother that she
had brought homo honev: 'but to all
I questioning as to show how she obtained
'it, she wos mute. In a short' time she
rcturneu to the deck for her chicken
fiiod, when, a J" I understand, thero was
quite an excitement over her, and a
collection taken up to reward her inge.
