ROLLERS PROLONG LINEN LIFE Hint for Care of Dainty Trifles Dear to Feminine Heart. All the pretty centerpieces, buffet, bureau and table covers can be kept so much more perfectly in linen closets and sideboard drawers if rolled round a sufficiently long pasteboard roll. The regular mailing case or tube will fill the bill if it is of the length required. A dainty and washable cover for it can be made, tubeshaped, of white linen, into which the roll should be slipped. One end of it may be permanently drawn together and the open end arranged with a casing and tape, to close after the roll is replaced. On this should be rolled all of the embroidered and lace-trimmed covers as soon as they come from the laundry, and before they have been folded. One matron tells of a roll on the wall of the butler's pantry. This is a device for linen in daily use; but because of what Howells so aptly calls the "invasive, pervasive dust," the permanently arranged roll could not be recommended for freshly laundered linens. Pretty waist of wine-colored cloth or cashmere, made with plaits and a scalloped yoke which furnishes the little plastrons. The edge and the buttons and buttonholes are of satin of the same shade, as are also the cravat and girdle. The long, tight sleeves are trimmed to correspond. Hate of Pearls. Paris has given its approval to the tiny little headgear made of imitation baroque pearls and finished with a bunch of flowers at the side. The managers of the theaters allow them to keep on these hats, though they will not permit any other kind. The pearls are strung on wire and made into a lattice work, something like a Juliet cap, and worn over the top of the head. Jet beads of varied sizes are also used for them, with a large bunch of gold ivy leaves at the side. THE GAZETTE Excellent for Fastening Millinery Ornaments in Place. When trimming a hat the great problem is how to fasten the ornaments in place. Fine thread and needles do not seem to be adequate for the purpose, and, in fact, they are not. The best thread to use is black shoe thread and the best needle is a so-called "glove needle"—one with a three-sided point that may be run easily through almost any substance. With these two allies at hand it is not so very difficult to sew whatever is required, but it is worth while to mention the different sorts of trimings and how to sew each to the hat, says a writer who would encourage home millinery. Velvet hows should always be made with shoe thread, and it should be wrapped around the loop of the bow so it will be quite firm. It should then be sewn to the hat with the same thread and the needle just described. Quilts and feathers may be attached to the hat in the same way, but when the tips of ostrich plumes must be caught and held at a required angle, it is better to use a very fine black thread and a No. 10 needle. The stitches are then practically invisible, and the result will be very satisfactory. Bandanna Kimonos. As this is a season of vivid colors, even room robes and dressing sacques have taken on brilliancy. One sees less of the pale blues and pinks always used for these garments. One of the new ideas is to use the immense cotton handkerchief called a bandanna, or rather several of them, to make up a short kimono for room wear. Five of these are apt to make a good-looking garment. One should get them in yellow and red, with a wide selvedge, which does not need a hem or trimming. The edges are put together by ribbon run through button-holes and tied in little flat bows on top. Toilets of Silken Tissues foillets of skinned radishes. All rolls of dress of ceremony, with tissues of silk, rather left in the background for several years, is pursued now with a lovely ardor. In plain silks and satins, in ottoman with coarse and fine cords, crepes and meteors, to say nothing of the silk-faced satin cloth and silk cachemire, they present a wonderful variety from which to select a costume. The draping wrinkling folds of these soft, thick stuffs in their colors show changing lights like those of precious stones, or reflect the metallic glow of silver, gold and bronze.—From a Paris Letter to Vogue. Fashion for Yellow Little by little golden yellow is becoming one of the favorite colors of the year. It shows well under electric light, and is usually becoming. It is now dyed with a golden sheen that carries out the prevailing fashion for gold in everything. Silk Irish Lace. Paris is now using the shamrock and Limerick laces crocheted in coarse silk. They are quite good looking and are dyed to match the blouse as most all laces have been this winter. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE.

EXCEPTIONAL QUALITIES OF THE GREAT LEADER From Slave to President of a Republic He Made—A Great General—Magnificent Career—The Treachery that Led to an Untimely Death. TOUSSAINT, "THE BLACK NAPOLEON." By Howard Singleton Taylor. By Howard Singleton Taylor. Wendell Phillips for many years lectured upon "Toussaint L'Ouverture, and finally published his lecture, deliberately placing the name of Toussaint above those of Phocion, Brutus, Hampden, La Fayette and Washington. Not many will agree with Phillips' estimate, but all who study the story of the black liberator must confess that Toussaint is entitled to be placed somewhere in the list of the world's great men. Toussaint L'Ouverture. Toussaint was born in Hayti, May 20, 1743. He was a coal-black Negro, a slave and the child of slaves. He had no education but the slight elementary instruction given him by an instructor, and he had to live 118 years old without ever seeing a soldier or performing any office above that of coachman and overseer on his master's plantation. Suddenly, in 1793, he ran away from his owner, entered the camp of some insurrectional blacks on the footing of a root and herb docile among them, became commander-in-chief, disciplined his troops, gradually armed them with weapons captured from the enemy, and in seven years from the time of his first appearance in the field he had soundly flogged the well-armed, well-drilled armies of the French who had won a reputation for courage, genius and honor which impelled generous Frenchmen to call him "the Black Napoleon." When, in 1789, the French engineer sends to maxim, "Liberty, the French Fraternity, accuses us seas the mulattos of Hayti deemed that their opportunity had come and demanded of the national assembly of France a full realization of the principle for themselves. Naturally the blacks applied the principle to blacks, and when delay and disappointment had maddened them, they took the in a huge, furious slave insurrection. In the earlier stages of the insurrection the blacks behaved like jungle imps. The recollection of past injuries, the natural rancor of the color line, together with plenty of rum and spoils, led them to commit such atrocities that the mere recital of them is terrifying! Toussaint tamed them—humanized them! He had a persuasive tongue. Said Toussaint they say: "Toussaint assessed the seized violence. The trump of which was in perfect accord with' the laws of nature." To his eloquence he added the force of example. Early in the war, to secure their safety, he shipped his master and mistress off to Baltimore, and yearly, as long as he lived, sent them liberal means of support. Time and again he threw himself between his infiltrated troops and their prisoners and saved lives at the peril of his own, and when his own nephew violated orders, he cussed out his court, courted him. Thus little, the black general infused his own spirit into his men and made of a wild mob a capable army. The time came when the Spanish, English and French armies were all defeated and the problem of civil reconstruction was at the door. It would have been easy for the Black Napoleon to have imitated the white one and seized a crown, but Toussaint had no success in the commission of his ablest men and had them draw the constitution of a republic which included, among other provisions, free speech, free trade, free religion and public schools. In his address submitting the new constitution to the people he said: "You are at liberty to adopt it, and the constitution which is placed in my hands today ought to perpetuate our liberty, our freedom, their duty, and for each a rule of action—and when the law speaks every citizen ought to hear and obey." A period of notable order and prosperity followed; but it was of brief duration. Napoleon had become a monarch. Toussaint's republican constitution did not please him, and he resolved to send a fresh army to Hayt and to seize the country to a dependent colony. Fouche said that Napoleon's motive was to send away a lot of old Republican soldiers who might be dangerous to his SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. crown. Bourrienne said that it was a scheme to enrich Napoleon's brother-in-law, Leclerc, who Commanded the expedition. In any event the invasion came—thirty thousand fresh troops and sixty ships. Most effective of all, Napoleon sent by Leclerc flattering messages to Toussaint and false promises of fraternal consideration. Some of Toussaint's generals were won over, and Toussaint himself submitted to go to France to present his case and the case of his country. He never obtained a hearing, but was caged in a loathsome dungeon, and died there April 17, 1803, by poison, starvation or disease, no one knows which. Crossing the ocean to France Toussaint said to General Savary: "In defeating me you have only thrown down the trunk of the tree of liberty. It will yet repel you, because the roots are deep and numerous!" He was a phophet—Haytil is a republic to day!

He never made a bobcat climb a tree, He never chased a coyote to its lair, He never rode a hunter o'er the lea. Or his picture taken in the air; He never shot a Spaniard in the back, He never did his ninety miles a day, He never put the senate on the rack, Or tried to steer the house to do his way. He never told the mothers of the land How many children each should bear and rear; And never took the farmer by the hand And bellowed talk of uplift in his ear; He never told the railroads how to run. He never used the short and ugly word. He never made a speech that weighed He never made a speech that weighed a ton, Or strained himself to make his maxims heard. He never used a secret service hook To land a man whose face he didn't like; He never even tried to write a book, Or desired reluctant friends to join a hike; He never had a tennis cabinet, Or bolstered up a trust to save a bank; He never played a hobby to a fret, Or forced a regiment to walk the plank. He never said he had a "bully" time, He never roped and tied a festive steer. He never made less majesty a crime, Or sought to use his place to inspire fear; He never tried to teach the world to spell. He never traveled far to slay big game. He never yearned to juggle shot and shell— But we celebrate his birthday just the same. OBITUARY NOTICES OBITUARY NOTICES Personal, Church and Other Local News of Interest—Dem- Buffalo, N.

SOUTH HAS CERTAINLY WON PRESIDENT-ELECT Inaugural Address, Shown to Friends, Declares That Members of Our Race May Not Hold Office in Southern Communities, Even If They Are Capable—To Escape Embarrassment in Crum Case. Washington, D. C.—Unless something now unforeseen occurs to change his attitude toward the appointment of Afro-Americans to federal offices, President Taft will not make any such appointments in states where they would tend to arouse opposition, and that means all of the south. It is expected that Mr. Taft will make full state of his position in this respect in his inaugural address on March 4. When he was in Washington last week Tuesday and Wednesday, Mr. Taft showed the draft of his inaugural address to several friends, some of whom had opportunity to read or hear it all. It is understood that he read or showed it to President Roosevelt. It has been learned that among the several subjects discussed in the draft of the address, as it stood on last week Wednesday, was the question of the appointment of Afro-Americans to federal offices. The draft contained a strong and clear assertion of Mr. Taft's views. It discussed the condition of the Afro-American generally, and referred to the great advance made by the race, especially since the enamulation. It went on to discuss the possibilities of further development, and finally came squately to the question of appointment to office. Must Be Competent. On this point it said that where Afro-Americans had demonstrated their fitness to share in the responsibilities of government and their personal qualifications for office, and where their selection would not create feeling in the community in which they reside, they were entitled to take their share in the administration of the public business. Strange limitation. But where their appointment was once feeling in the community in which they live, selections should not be made, and he would not make them. Are we citizens? Some of those who have seen or heard this part of the draft of the inaugural address regard it as an explicit announcement that Mr. Taft will not make any appointment of Afro-Americans to office in any of the southern states. He intimates, however, that if he finds any Afro-Americans capable of filling the other states he will not hesitate to appoint them. He will FIND few or none capable! Not Like Roosevelt. This position is not in accord with that of President Roosevelt. The Democrats of the senate have just been engaged in a sharp fight to prevent the confirmation of the reappointment of Dr. W. D. Crum, to be collector of customs at Charleston, S. C. He was confirmed on his first appointment, but only after a long and desperate fight. When the reappointment was made, the opportunity to get an expression from Mr. Taft right at the start of his administration. If they could hold up the confirmation until the expiration of the Roosevelt administration, the appointment either would have to be renewed by Mr. Taft or it would fail. The Republicans sought to relieve Mr. Taft of this possible dilemma by forcing the confirmation, but the Democrats were so persistent in their opposition that Mr. Taft was withdrawn, temporarily, by Senator Frye, chairman of the committee on commerce, to which the nomination had been referred. Now it appears that Mr. Taft was not to be embarrassed by such tactics, and was determined to make a settlement of his position right at the outset. It certainly looks as if the Taft administration will be an even greater atrocious disappointment, especially to his former boss, the morally feeble Hayes administration. He said in his last Atlanta, Ga, speech, some weeks ago, that "the south has succeeded in winning me." OBITUARY. St. Paris, O.—Mr. "Jud" Bell, who has been ill many months and confined to the house practically since last fall, died Saturday at 11 p. m. and was buried from the family residence near here Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. His last outing was to attend the event he August in "The Settlement, near Greenville, at which the editor of The Gazette was the principal speaker, and where he had a host of friends. The latter was also true wherever he was known. His parents, sister and other relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of all. "Jud" was a fine looking and manly fellow when in health, generous, genial and "whole-souled," a great addler of the Gazette's editor, who will be deeply grieved to learn of his death. Dr. Ed. E. Underwood the Speaker. Frankfort, Ky.—Our people here celebrated Lincoln's centenary in a mass meeting at Odd Fellows' hall. The addresses were delivered by Dr. E. E. Underwood, Profs. J. H.

How much, if any, truth is there in hls claim? Last year or the year before the samo individual introduced an_ordi- hance, resolution or something ‘in the council, providing for cutting a street through in the same vicinity.

W. 0, GARRETT, Manager, The Afro-American Teachers’ Bureau, Asheville, N. C, WELL PLEASED WITH WESTERN CANADA. GOOD CROPS, SPLENDID CLIMATE AND WELL ENFORCED LAWS. Mr. George E. Hunter is a Maidstone, Saskatchewan (Central Canada), farmer, who writes to a Canadian Government Agent as follows: "It was the first week in November, 1807, when we arrived here. There was very little snow or cold weather until after the holidays, then the snow and cold increased, but to no great extent. I think the coldest I heard of was 30 degrees below zero, but that degree of cold would not be felt here any more than 10 degrees below zero would be back home in Michigan, owing to the beautiful dry atmosphere of this country. There came a good thaw every month that settled the snow, the fields soon became bare, and on the 12th of April I commenced ploughing. The snow was then all gone and summer at hand. This last season was something more than an average year around here, with fine crops gathered from a large acreage. In parts the crops were less than average, but generally speaking they were above it. The price of wheat was quite good. Some fine yields sold at $1.10 per bushel, while some were marketed at much less, but hardly any went below about 60 cents a bushel. "Oats started on the market at 35 cents a bushel, barley about 50 cents, and flax from 90 cents to $1.00 a bushel. "As this was my first year in this country, it was a hard year for my horses, owing to their being eastern horses, and not used to the western climate, but they will soon get climatized. "The soil on my farm is a black loam, about one foot in thickness, below that we find about six feet of clay, and below that again gravel and sand, with an abundance of excellent water. This was the condition of the ground as I found it when I dug a well. I can say that the water is as sweet and as free from alkali and impurities as I ever saw. "My opinion is that the man who comes here with a little means can do no better than invest $500 or $1,000 in cattle, after locating a homestead adjoining or near some hilly part of the country where it will not be taken up as soon. There is plenty of grass and hay to be found in the hilly country and small lakes and sloughs will afford sufficient water for any amount of cattle. The bluffs with a few hay or straw sheds will make sufficient shelter for them. There is no need to worry about the market for cattle, as there is already a great call for stock of all kinds to satisfy the continued demands of the large packing house at Edmonton, established by Swift and Company. "The dairy business should by no means be forgotten. It is one of the paying enterprises of this great west. The price of butter seldom goes below 25 cents and reaches as high as 40 cents a pound. Also the new creameries that are fast being erected along the lines of railroad are calling on the farmers for their cream. "These creameries are greatly welcomed in all communities, because selling cream is better than making butter, even at an average price of 25 cents a pound. For a new country the railroad transportation facilities are good; not yet, of course, what they are in older countries, but the new lines are swiftly gaining as the country gets more settled and supplies them with produce to ship. It is hard to say too much in favor of this country. All one needs is a little money with grit and ambition. I have seen homesteads that were filed on a little over three years ago that the owners have refused $3,000 for. " "There is much more that' can be said in favor of Western Canada, but I think my letter has been long enough." THE VERY LAST. "I'm so delighted to see you, major. I thought you had died." "Died, madam? That's the last thing I'd do, madam." GOVERNMENT LAND OPENING UNDER CAREY ACT.

Dick, who was much smaller than Margaret, believed all she said about it.

CHILD'S ONE-PIECE DRESS, WITH QUIMPE. SHREDS CHEESE DRESS, WITH GUIMPE. Paris Pattern No. 2752, All Seams Allowed.—A pretty little frock for a small girl or boy is here illustrated, made up in heavy Indian-head cotton in bright red. A pretty development for this model is thin white serge, with bands of wide mohair braid in white, the belt being of similar braid. The guipme is of white silk, trimmed with narrow Irish lace insertion. Or of turquoise lawn, trimmed with insertions of narrow English embroidery, would be most serviceable and stylish both for the present time and for the coming summer season. The guipme fastens at the center-back with very small pearl buttons. The pattern is in four sizes—one to seven years. For a child of five years the dress requires three yards of material 27 inches wide, 2¼ yards 36 inches wide or two yards 42 inches wide, with 2¼ yards of insertion; the guipme needs 1½ yards 18 inches wide, 1½ yards 27 inches wide or one yard 36 inches wide; six yards of insertion. To procure this pattern send 19 cents to the following address: Write name and address plainly, and be sure to include the city, state, and zip code. LADIES' SHIRT-WAIST. Paris Pattern No. 2777, All Seams Allowed.—For plain, every-day wear this is an excellent model, and it may be developed to advantage in heavy linen, in white or colors, Indian-head cotton, madras, striped wash silk, plique or fancy shirttings, which are coming to the fore this season, for the woman's general knock-about waist. The two tucks over the shoulders give the required fullness to both the front and back and yet retain the plainness which is so necessary to the style of the tailored garment. The embroidery should be in solid stitch, the petals of the flowers being first padded so that they will stand out in high relief when finished. If the embroidery is used on the front, similar embroidery should be used on the collar and lower portion of the sleeves. The pattern is in seven sizes—32 to 44 inches, bust measure. For 36 bust the waist requires $3\frac{1}{4}$ yards of material 20 inches wide, three yards 27 inches wide, $2\frac{1}{4}$ yards 36 inches wide or two yards 42 inches wide; $1\frac{1}{4}$ yards of ruffling. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to "Pattern Department" of the paper. Write name and address plenely, and be sure to give size and number of pattern. NO. 2777. SIZE..... NAME..... TOWN.....

A native-born American member of a party of four business men who often lunched together took great delight in joking the others on their foreign birth. "It's all very well for you fellows to talk about what we need in this country," he said, "but when you come to think of it, you're really only intruders. Not one of you was born here. You're welcome to this country, of course, but you really oughtn't to forget what you owe us natives who open our doors to you." "Maybe," said an Irishman in the party, thoughtfully. "Maybe. But there's one thing you seem to forget: I came into this country wud me fare paid an' me clothes on me back. Can you say the same?"—Everybody's Magazine. NEW STRENGTH FOR WOMEN'S BACKS.

"Why, Hiram," began Mrs. Dusenbery, glancing up from her favorite newspaper at her husband on the opposite side of the table, "did you ever hear of such a thing? Here is a piece about a man who writes four magazine poems every morning before breakfast. Must be quite a strain on him to do all that writing on an empty stomach. Don't you think so, Hiram?" "Well, I dunno about that," responded Hiram dryly. "I reckon a man wouldn't have such a terrible strain on him writen' the sort of magazine pomes we run across nowdays with his stomach an' head both empty!" Poor Pat. The surgeon of a large hospital was paying a visit to the patients when he come to a cot whereon lay an Irishman who was not bearing his pain very bravely, for he was groaning loudly. "Oh, come, my poor fellow," remonstrated the surgeon, "try and bear your pain like a man. It's no use kicking against Fate." "Shure, you're roight, sorry," groaned the Irishman, who had been severely kicked by a mule, "specially whin they're the fate of a mule!"—Exchange. Distinction Without Difference While holding a term of court at Augusta once, Judge Walton sentenced a man to seven years in prison for a grave crime. The respondent's counsel asked for a mitigation of the sentence on the ground that the prisoner's health was very poor. "Your honor," said he, "I am satisfied that my client cannot live out half that term, and I beg of you to change the sentence." "Well, under those circumstances," said the judge, "I will change the sentence. I will make it for life instead of seven years." Sounded Funny. "The young man is smitten with you, Jeanette. He says you radiate happiness." "Gracious!" "And he also said you radiate beauty." "Why, he must think I am a radiator." PRIZE FOOD Palatable, Economical, Nourishing. A Nebr. woman has outlined the prize food in a few words, and that from personal experience. She writes: "After our long experience with Grape-Nuts, I cannot say enough in our favor. We have used this food almost continually for seven years. "We sometimes tried other advertised breakfast foods but we invariably returned to Grape-Nuts as the most palatable, economical and nourishing of all. "When I quit tea and coffee and began to use Postum and Grape-Nuts I was a nervous wreck. I was so irritable I could not sleep nights, had no interest in life. "After using Grape-Nuts a short time I began to improve and all these alligants have disappeared and now I am a well woman. My two children have been almost raised on Grape-Nuts, which they eat three times a day. "They are pictures of health and have never had the least symptom of stomach trouble, even through the most severe siege of whooping cough they could retain Grape-Nuts when all else failed. "Grape-Nuts food has saved doctor bills, and has been, therefore, a most economical food for us." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.
