Former Auditor Ralph W. Tyler, who has been representing the National Negro League since 1950, is the country for the past few months, is said to be deeply enamored of the South. The conversion, though Saul-like, is none the less sinister in that he career he had dreaded to avoided the Land of Dixie, but the job of traveling agent for the Business League is his. He has career he had dreaded from the Treasury Department. He swallowed his old-time resentment and went Southland. He fell for his eyes, he heaped up that "the South is the Negro's most promising field for helpful endeavor." Tyler has particularly lost his heart to Oklahoma, describing it as indeed "the Land of Promise," and it is given out with some grace. He has been making plates making this new State his future home. He is of the opinion that if the Negroes of the State will unite they can accomplish the Supreme Grass. It is said that he is awaiting the decision of the United States Supreme Court to penate to one of Oklahoma's thriving cities and offer himself as a candidate for Congress. The story is given out by one of Oklahoma's thriving cities, and is decidedly interesting if true. A "Fat Berth" for "Chelf" Higgins in "Queen City." The Washington friends of Mr. Henry M. Higgins are delighter to learn that this well-known Republican leader of Cincinnati, Ohio, has been appointed assistant examiner of weights and measures. His office is located in the new municipal administration. This is the first time a colored man has been named for this position, and it is the most responsible office held by a Negro in the city. Mr. Higgins is a experienced man with a business and political life of the Queen City and has very capably filled a number of posts of trust and honor in civic, fraternal and other circles, and is now a director of the American Church. He is a chronicler will be in keeping with that of the past. Mr. Higgins is particularly active in the work of the Knights of Pythias, and is now grand master of exchequer for the jurisdiction of Ohio. The appointment of Mr. Higgins is expected to be as not only a merited distinction for Mr. Higgins personally, but a hearty recognition of the loyalty of the Negroes of Cincinnati and Hamilton county during the recent campaign.

She is energetic and enthusiastic and has the highest possibilities of the race in the world of music, and is extremely partial to the old masters of classical melody, and the productions of a day. Her work has made a profound impression upon President W. H. Goler and all in the vicinity who have heard her introduce into the school, the daily papers had much to say in praise of her recent public recital, telling the audience most difficult creations of Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt and Chopin, and giving the titles of the selections rendered by her. They promote her a musical genius—a credit to any Miss Jones is an honor graduate of Cornell University at Ithaca. N. Campbell has been her head class. Her test recital there is conceded to have the finest and most satisfactory graduating event ever given at Cornell. Her color is not flattery to say that a brilliant future awaits Miss Jones, and it is pleasing to observe that audience has accorded it should, to increase her sense of the great responsibility resting upon her to "make good."

WHAT THEY THINK OF US ABROAD. Glasgow, Scotland, Jan. 2, 1914. Editor The Freeman: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to express my sincere sorrow at the loss of the journalists in not establishing news agencies in foreign countries to advocate the rights of the British and foreign people think that the American Negroes are in a state of insurrection and are being led to be heathen, rapists of white women, indolent, ignorant, worthless pests, only fit to be feathered, tarred, shot or killed. The Negroes are apparently known here to the masses is the Negro who can sing, dance, sell newspapers at street corners, box, wrestle or fight. American Negro journalists, planters, financiers, bankers, real estate agents, merchants, and tradesmen are entirely out of the runin. Ministers—well, I must say there begging money for the heathen Negro of America and getting money for the heathen, which he would use for his own imminent death. I am not in such high esteem as formerly. I say, let religion alone if you can't send men into foreign countries. Send out your journalists, not the mild, blind ones, but the rankest men against yellow and guttered people, to the world know what you are doing commercially, financially, culturally. Send out journalists who are not afraid to spend a dollar or two for gleaning news for their paper, as much deed as they can press that will give a black man full and hearty credit for merit? Not in Europe, can assure you—and you know it is not worth it. If a Negro commits a grave offense in America to day it is flashed across here for school boys and girls and other millions to read that same day, so that is the way the black people who are better than the black people who are cated and embittered against us, while our journalists stand meekly and whining by shaking in their hands to keep the interest and bushel. Let the world be your field, as well as the field of the white man, for Be business-like. Note this: I sent to an American newspaper, got three letters, was sent and a half months prior to the date I sent the money. I promised sample people, good standing, who never arrived, published by colored people. These sample copies never came to hand. I have never been published to my knowledge. The way I came to know this, a kind-hearted man, was from Mobile, Ala. The editor nor the manager never did so. Is that business? Mr. Editor, I am open to answer questions. I will edit or newspaper manager wishes to editor or newspaper manager wishes to the way of news of interest published here. We have a colored inland revenue officer here in Glasgow, also a colored stage manager here in Brown, also a naval chemist, Mr. Tucker. The colored press is the hope of our race. Turn on the light! I shall be pleased to receive sample copies of all colored newspapers from the publishers, or I will establish sales agencies for regular supplies of papers from the publishers, or I will accept correspondents in the United States or elsewhere who wish news clippings and other useful materials from the correspondence in the interest of the race.

The best charity is industrial justice, which would make alms mostly unnecessary, but would make others an equal chance with ourselves. The profoundest charity ever realized is the social justice wrought by Lloyd Green, an unrealized green realization unrealized charity in sight is Winston Churchill's proposal that Germany and Britain shall stop for a year or more the building of dreadnaughts and deeds millions saved to the social settlement. Next best is the "new charity" that brings to the poor "not alms but a charity" that is more generous than a needy neighbor too much to pauperize him by gifts when we might help him to earn money. In China, often traversed by careless American tourist who throw pennies to children, swarm with beggars thus created a kind of altruism.

Automatic 72-746 Chicago, Illinois THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWS PAPER? Fifty years ago it was unlawful to issue a patent to a slave and the Attorney-general of the United States has issued a patent to Scott decision, patent might still be issued to free persons of color. Since that time about 1,000 patients have been issued a patent, they have mostly been mechanical appliances and labor-saving devices. Some of the things which Negroes have invented during the war, for example, a hydraulic scrubbing brush, a weight motor for running machinery, aeroplanes, an automatic car switch and an feed attachment for adding machines. Fifty years ago it was unlawful for a Negro to be employed in the postal service; for, in 1810, when the Postoffice Department was organized, it was enacted a penalty of $100 for another than a free, who person shall be played in carrying the mail of the United States. A carriage carrying the mail. There are now more than 3,950 colored persons in the government postal service. Altogether there are now over 22,400 Negroes in the employ of the United States government. In 1803 it was not in the imagination of the most optimistic that within fifty years Negroes would be making good in the financial world, or be successful in the financial world, or be successful in the literature of banks. When in 1888 the Legislature of Virginia was asked to request that a new bank, the request was at first treated as a joke. There are now 12 Negro banks in that state and 64 in the entire country. They capitalized the money of the state and the financial world, and so an annual business of about $20,000,000. One of the strongest of these banks, the Alabama Penny Savings Bank of Birmingham, has resources amounting to a half-million. In 1863 the total wealth of the Negroes of the country was about $20,000,000. Now the total wealth of the 1700 years of the other emancipated people have made so great a progress in so short a time. The Russia series were emancipated in 1861. The U.S. U.S.�ts were found that 14,000,000 of them had accumulated about $500,000,000 worth of property. In 1863 the $36 per capita an average of $200 perfil of the U.S. Tenth year after their emancipation only about 30 per cent. of the Russian peasants were able to read and write. After fifty years of freedom the ten million Negros were unlimited States have accumulated over $70,000,000 worth of property, or about $50 per capita, which is an average of $550 per capita. After fifty years freedom 70 per cent. of them have some education in books. The cortege of Major John C. Buckner of Chicago, who died recently, was one long, in Chicago, in his decisive role of President Lincoln and Mark Carter Harrison.

Within a radius of ten miles from Baltimore, there are a good deal more than 100,000 Negroes, the largest number in the same area anywhere with the single exception of Washington, the largest cities in counting either Washington or Baltimore as such) having large negro populations are: New York with 91,700, and Philadelphia, with 84,450.

Ways, 72 years old, assistant general traffic manager of the Baltimore metro area, has been employed as a telegrapher at Harper's Ferry, W.

The American Negro has resided in his soul and his every movement is attuned to rhythm. From far-off Africa weird chants and minor chords are his favorite forms. The institutions of the Southern States was blended into an exotic folk lore a curious superstitious religious fervor, and mixed of these elements, the race has evolved a music all its own. Two hundred "striking" students of Stau University were entered on the campus of the institution "dishonorably dismissed." They had had a limited time in which to apply for the position. They were obliged to vacate the dormitories at once. About 250 students remain in good standing, these being the male biological students and girls in the university. In refusing to go on with recitations last Saturday the students rebelled against President Mozelle, the fight being to force Dr. Mozelle from the presidency, after declares that he was at the altar during the institution during his natural life. He has the full support of the American Baptist Missions Board, which controls and maintains the university, and of the people of this city. Howard Gillard, messenger to Governor Cox, and Samuel Hoffman of Springfield, both of class 64 at Columbus, Ohio, who were recently admitted to practice at the bar of the Supreme Court. Among this number was Robert A. Tart, son of former President Taft. The National Biscuit Company, the craftsman of its colored man recently. The National Biscuit Company is the trust which advertises the soda cracker put up in a small paper box. Until last week it employed a number of colored men as drivers and porters. One week ago Mr. Gus Williams, who had been in the company's employer for nine years, and told him that "Negro employees are not wanted any longer. That policy is not good, but that the policy of the company was to discontinue employment of Negroes. Col. John R. Marshall, for 12 years the memorial of Infantry, Illinois National Guard, tendered his resignation to Governor John Kasich.

Special to THE FREEMAN. Prof. Jackson, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. is busy getting the building in shape EVANSVILLE, IND. The Colored People Making Progress in All Directions. (By Ralph W. Tyler). There is no city in Dallas where the colored people are making greater progress, and where the opportunities for development are better than right here in the city. The 12½ per cent population of this city is 12½ per cent, colored, and they are about as thrifty and progressive a per cent of the total population of this city as the West. A conservative estimate of the capital colored men have invested in business here and in the amount of real estate owned by the race in this city at $200,000. This is more than a splendid health of $250, which is surely a splendid people a whopee but a fifty years removed from abject slavery, city carefully investigating conditions, calling on the business men, visiting the schools and the colleges, and investigating the city that is rapidly approaching the 100,000 population mark. I found they have a splendid school system sere, and that is surely progress making at high tide. The 32 colored school teachers here are in rapid development, and in Prof Davis, and in Prof Davis, the no better principal anywhere. The colored man is represented in business here, the following business undertakes: Fintan Hillman, concrete stone manufacture, theater, transfer and storage, hair dressing, hospitality, pressing, undertaking, cafe, etc. There is one noticeable characteristic in the business of the colored man that his business isismusian and huskie. In Kengo Stewart, who conducts a profitable real estate business and a concrete stool manufacture, establishment, and equipment initiative and enthusiasm follow in any movement looking for the better; especially along material lines. In Roberts, who conducts the only installation furnishings collected in a colored man in the city and market, one of the very aggressive business men who, starting from nothing, has built up his business into an own large and commodious building. Henry Bell, who is easily the most successful transfer man in the city, has built up his business in the hotel, hotel hotel, conducted by that veteran face, Henry Black, who at one time was the grocery business colored men are making good, for the four groceries conducted by F. Gibson, L. M. Moore, Henry Hart, F. Gibson, L. M. Moore, Cash, are prosperous establishments. Evansville has four Negro physicians, two attorneys and one dentist to make sure these are the people these have every reason to be satisfied with their location in this city. As a rule a nattice Washingtonian, when he encounters no professional field in the incumbent's capital, where the field is overly crowded. J. H. Wilson, an old Wash.-Ind. law professor at the University, is one exception to the rule for he located in this city and is doing fine, his popularity and success here being very encouraging. His law offices, as well as his law firm Jiles, another Howard alumnus, are located in the new Pythian Temple, and in appointment and for it is library complements for families with best white attorneys' offices in the city. The new Pythian Temple not only is a monument of progress itself, but it is a great city, and its erection has served greatly to accelerate the development of women and women of Bryansville. It is a three-story brick building, having two storeys with a large auditorium on the second floor and lodges rooms occupying the top floor. It is naturally located, in doing a very great work in Evansville and is an attractive point for men, both young and old, to congregate. There is an admirable feeling existing between the white and colored citizens and the white and colored citizens. I was always the most important person of the part of each to be mutually helpful. I was impressed greatly with the civic pride of the colored residents which prompted them to beautify their homes. In this view the value of the interest colored citizens take in keeping a little outward appearance of the homes they have learned segregation and the hardening of their social motion, movement in this city. In conversation with Mr. Logan Stewart he stated that it was his belief that just in proportion to the city's performance, for the people that are not that of the best and help of the best white citizens and make it possible for colored people to be desirable, restorative, and more resident in the city. There is no doubt but what the colored people of this city are making, marked progress, and the men whose interests have been the most largely to that process and to the feeling of amity, existing between the two races. In Evansville the local Neardus League has been using up the factor and an influence that is encouraging not only the establishment of Neardus business enterprises, but the patronizing of these enterprises by the raining of the mining league that is raining. Evansville on the business map, and its membership embraces all the representation men and women in the city. It is not an action, and it is very active, and helpful members are also very If we have any aspirations above the course of our aims and ideals are other than that we shall not happen that we shall feel ourselves out with our society. It is not always a chance that we should bring loneliness, and unless we are shrewd self-reliant, loneliness is one of life's self-reliant, the condition also needs courage, and morale is a very rare gift. Many persons lower their tone voluntarily because they are afraid of loneliness, because they fear being thought to stand alone, because they long for sympathetic interpersonal contact to stand alone, to be unpunctual or misunderstood, to be resarded as an outcast, to be uncompetent, to crave companionship, and, sadly enough, often this natural and most whole-one matters where self-surrender in matters where self-surrender feat. Our human sympathies, our long-held desire to be a good comrade, our desire to be a good comrade to a sudden or a gradual degradation: to a sudden or a gradual degradation: to a big things also slip from us. Is the surrender inevitable if we would take our place by the side of others, if we were to be married as paradee or as friend? There is a reason for bility that we yield too much and too readily; there is the possibility that we are in a high price something that is not worth the loss of friendship, the comradeship that can be secured only by loss of what we conceive of as the good, our true womanhood, may, perhaps, the current gain, an inadequate purchase. The best things in life, the noblest friend—that is, the companionship, can never be attained. If loneliness must come our own best. If loneliness must come sometimes—because, as the poet says, "The lonely one is overmeer the king—that the lonely one is overmeer the own dignity and its own compensation. It is good to stand apart and think for our own companies are talking baseness on us, and better to have the comradeship of high-thinking, their thought are all of idleness, their thought are all of idleness, ought not to set ourselves apart as better than they are—it is never our place to be different. We sometimes recognize that we are different if we aim at being different. We have to be a gay gathering in a drawing-room; we have respect for our own individuality; we have magnetism. We may be in it, yet not of may bear, yet need not echo its words. We must not allow that rule to be changed by shifting outside influences. Some- it is quite enough to be silent. It sometimes happens that a man is boorn into a circle in which he is so to speak, a stranger. Heredity is very selective, and better features of his ancestry have been emphasized in the qualitative that are to be shaped into his character—some of them are outside many, have helped him, in strength, unconsecuently, so that, at first, unconsciously, he has lived on a different plane. His parents, his friends, notice characteristics in him that seem alien; they trust him, and always signs of originality among a crowd of copies. He thinks for himself, and thinks as they imagine, absurdly wrong. He says or does uncommon things; he does not care for their habits or enjoy their enjoyances. He develops his own manner self-฿sulture. He is the life on lines that seem to them proflitless. Being only one among many, he has to be strong indeed if he can resist that gradual process that would rub away his angles, cut down his ideals, lower his contentments. Perhaps with an unusual independence of the actual of opposition and rebellion, he may bring himself very scorn to a successful resistance. Scorn in itself is never lovable, nor in itself is there any virtue in revolving. He is scorn of the ignoble, of the petty and now, as more some an abiding help, and revolves against joy. Ideas may become an actual inspiration. But there are natures whose scorn will be inefficient support, and who have too much opposition. The very air that they breathe seems against them—the permanent oppression of their individuality. Little by little the aims and ideals are surrendered themselves that after all a life of moral or intellectual medicity may be beaten. The very virtues of family affection and perhaps of lurking humility may eb against a man in such a struggling, his desire to be his fellow's and to achieve their apparent affection with things as they are. The virtues of life, the imperfect culture, the defective honor, sometimes the empty talk, the foolish or coarse jest, the make-up of a man who is degraded, the sore oppression on a spirit that should have been destined to higher things. But a time may come when the degraded individual realizes, with sense of failure is lost; when the individual who might have lived his own crowd, undistinguished by any exceptional ability, any fine culture, any nourishment, an inferior comradeship; he is no longer looked upon as one apart. In some measures it may not say how much the individual has been killed. It would not have been easy for anything else to happen; we have to be just, we dare not underestimate a struggle which perhaps we have not ourselves had to face. But the purity of our performance is not too fast. To each of us belongs the duty not only of raising ourselves but of helping such another to rise. A man or a woman may be saved from such pitable self-surrender by the devoted connoissee or low-level trend and support without may come to stimulate and support against the insidious influences of the home or the social circle. All possible help is needed, a lasting tenderness and patience, a better life and a diverging self-reverence to selfish luxury of intellectuals or artistic self-culture we may be doing a far finer thing if we turn to these necessities of others. If we ourselves have seen the vision, heard the divine music, a place is by the side or so, we are not helping him to see teaching him how to hear; leading him away from the low and mean, the degraded and vulgar, to a height where loneliness itself may be blessed and where silence has its mysticity. But the side or so, we are not worthy view of life's possibilities, a keener honor, a braver courage, a repudiation of the utterly selfish and undignified; by so doing we ourselves win comradeship into power where we come not alone; we are to find, the help that we give to another may be the best support of our own steps. THE NEGRO A WORLD QUESTION Comparative History of the Racial Struggle. 74 St. Mungo Street, Glassport, Scotland, Jan. 8, 1914. Editor Titian We want is more representative colored men throughout the British Isles and possessions, and more representative the British people are partially aware of the intellectual attainments of the East Indians, as a great many of these and even South Africans convey here. They always excel in their studies, but singularly, they all go back to their native languages, and they are educated. Very few settle in the British Isles. Of course, the Americans have institutions and instructors of their own and do not use them. They are not structured, yet the American black is looked upon as being the most illiterate, most brutal and less tuffly of all of god's culture. It is simply British and American white prejudice and united determination to superior to themselves and in no respect inferior, for at heart the colored races of men are honest, kind and noble and most unselfish except to his own. And American united determination to slander, I mean it is determined to the United States assaults or is allied to the United States woman or girl, be it true or not, it is flashed across the Atlantic by cable that same day for publication in the united press. If it is a lie, The indolent, selfish and self-satisfied colored journeyman, who is the subject of their news agencies beyond the tip of their own noses, it would seem. White men here are convicted in the punishment for being a pervert with wigs girl children and lashes under 18 and others are guilty of rape. What do they get? From 20 to 30 days the punishment is murdered by a band of lawless flies. Neither are their crimes flashed across the seas. Neither do the American press publish these deeds from the British papers they receive in exchange for their own papers. It is the word. it will open up too much of the superior race's dark deeds. Only the black Americans are lustful — I think the white Americans are colored men's most bitter enemies. It is because they are educated through influence of the yellow gutter men, which I believe in more than they do their Bible. British people do not search for light in weak points and men. They search for weak points and men. They search for their own strongest points. In other countries they search for the richest men, the copper or lead mines, and impoverish the activist and put ignorant soldiers over them at 25 cents a day to reduce their (the national) wealth. Readers, when I look back to the settlement at Jamestown in 1620 and think on the great wealth created for British settlers in 1855, it makes my blood boil like a pot. It is here you see the fruits of the settlement. It is here you see the wrenched from the sweating brows, the mangled and mutilated bodies of a race too noble in heart, mind and principle to be insured by its burdensome and domineeringoke. Why was there not a murmur? They were trusting in God! Yes, trusting in God to destroy the white man, bogy or of keeping the black man, is a matter of faith. We have believed here that there are more black heathens in the United States of America in all the rest of the world combined. Why is this? It is because there is a great difference in the American Negro that no one is willing to make known to the reading public. What has the American Negro not contributed to America that the white man has? It is that he has certainly, but men equally as brilliant. The British and Americans have only made themselves great by stealing from the black men and then spouting their own goodness through the press. The reader or an editor willing to give me the address of a colored historian or a work published by them and then spouting their statistics of the race from 1620 to date? We have one colored tailor here, a Mr. Vivian, a colored historian or a work published by them and then spouting their statistics of the race from 1620 to date? An Indian state official visited Scotland and England a few weeks ago and he and his team spotted 486 railway locomotives. He visited all the big locomotives and engineers' establishments to note. He was accorded a heavy reception. There are a great number of Jap and American colleges here in Glasgow and Elinburgh, which is 42 miles east of Glasgow.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Only Fourteen Days more for the dollar rate! E-President Taft recently had thirty-five suits of clothes cut down to his reduced size. Guess he lost flesh in doing his rapid-change stunt. Who'd a thought the Democratic party could be so strenuous. Verily, the old order changenget. If it keeps on other parties will have no excuse for existing. Mr. George Kennan, the noted Rusian student and magazine writer, is to be the guest of Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee during a good part of the month of February. It appears that we "took" too much when we took Panama from Columbia. And Mr. Roosevelt taught the doctrine that the violation of the law by a big concern was not different to its violation by a little concern. A' law of international spirit was violated, and when we posed as the modern Solon the law giver of the universe. Happy public conscience is aroused. Mayor Law is coming in for great praise by the law-abiding citizens. He promised to clean up the city, and he is doing it. In the raids of last Saturday night and Sunday white people and colored people, men and women, were allike hauled down-town and down-city streets. They are pleased to know that Mr. Bell is not going to be a respecter of persons. Pastor Paul Hentsch enjoys the reputation of being an expert in what pertains to the Negroes of the United States. His interest in us seems real, and such being the case, effort should be made to have as good a showing at the exhibition as it is possible to have. Here is an excellent chance to dispel the illusion that we Negro Americans are heathens. We have several book concerns whose products are not known by any special markings other than those standing for excellence—their products are well edited and well bound, and, of course, indicative of what could be done when tested to the "maximum" severity — "caustic" — from numbers of our publications, we take it, would come under the meaning of the display. We are cordially invited to become a part of a world-wide movement, and which concerns a phase of business which we know fairly well. We will have no excuse for failing in making a showing—a creditable one. So after all there is such a thing as a real public conscience in our country, and which revolts at taking that which does not belong to us regardless of how much we need it, or how weak and insignificant are those from whom we would take it. Colonel Roosevelt felt that he played a fine card when he took the Panama strip. And the canal was so much desired that at the time it was conceded that the ex-President had done a very brilliant thing—a coup d'etat. But at this time it is plain to see that we held up Colombia, virtually bilked it out of its possession. The public has again come into its own. It will not stand for shady transactions, highway robberies and so forth. We are queuing to tell like horse traders, whose virtue is cheating the other fellow. The feeling now is to pay Colombia for what we "took" and also to apologize for what we took. This is no age of feudalism where we can rob citizens or nations, because we are big enough to do so. Mrs. Belle Case La Follette, wife of Senator La Lollette, of Wisconsin, is making a splendid fight in Washington, D. C., against the segregating idea. She admires the race for its determined stand against such pronounced classism in America. The government is wrong, she says, in trying to stand for it. Mrs. La Follette has the right idea. As a white woman we think of her as those of her class who choose their own associates in private life. In public affairs we think of her as a public-spirited woman, of unselfish patrolotism, wishing the conveniences, liberties and glories of the republic more shared. Public institutions of the general sort will never be thought of as patriotic concerns, where one abrupt aside owing to nationality. The great common things want to be kept freed of the tendency toward proprietorship. The people are master of the "house." There is no reason why we should not have many Mrs. LaFolettes. Nothing sacrificed in standing for the uplift of mankind. She does not ask strangers to her hearth. She is not offended by the office of her. She asks that Negroes be permitted to enter the general civil life of the nation unmolested and unafraid. ASSERTING THE LAW. In the raids made by the police last Saturday night and the Sunday following 182 persons were arrested, the number being the greatest on record for ten years, and perhaps the greatest general haul in the history of the city. The police were no respecter of persons. Some of all sorts, all races were caught in the draugnet. As great as the catch Chief of Police Perrott thought it should have been greater. This shows what manner of man the lawless will have to deal with in the next four years. This touch of Chief Perrott's life reminds one of that impenetrable impertured Javert of the Paris police that Victor Hugo tells of in his noted "Miserables." He unfliuchingly served his community, permitting nothing to swerve him from his duty. He was inflexible, unrelenting even to the point of persecution, but all in the name of the law. He had no ambition to build a name—only to serve. His was a beautiful character of the kind; one loves him and hates him; one cares for the beautiful man in man. Then he turtle his beautiful end of his life. He chose to fling himself in the turbulent Seine rather than give up such a man as Jean Valjean. The tug of war was between the apprehension of such a god-like man and his intense love of duty. He decided. We, perhaps, have no Valjeans in our midst. And if so the courts are indulgent with them. In the new dispensation of penology the tendency is to give the man who will a chance—the man who determines to put the bad past behind him. Judge Collins, who just left the bench of the city court, was a high apostle of that very righteous thing—giving those who will a chance. The criminal is now looked upon as a victim of temptation; not persecution. If the court errs, it is on virtue's side. Men are redeemed by the influence of love rather than that of staves, clubs and such like instruments of "persuasion." "A man's a man for a that," as Mr Collins loves to quote. We hope that Judge Deery, think of that name, will continue the policy set in motion by his predecessor. Mr Collins' only regret on retiring was that he feared that his program would not be carried out. Only Fourteen Days more for the dollar rate! THE INTERESTED COLORED BROTHER ABROAD. If the colored brother abroad who is so interested in not having us, the American Negroes, appear as heathens he will kindly circulate this note: "The Tuskegee Institute is now spending $237,000 in putting a new heating, power and lighting plant, a sewer system and extending the railroad. All of which is of a highly skilled character. With little exception all is being done by colored people." This is a sample of what's going on among the race. Great, modern buildings have been and are being erected here and there in the centers of the colored people. These are being occupied by concerns in keeping. We have between sixty and seventy banks throughout the country established by colored men in face of the fiercest high-water mark of civilization it ought to be easy to imagine the successes in the various other directions. Just to think that we are held as heathens when the great Negro church organizations are sending hundreds of thousands of dollars yearly to Africa for the redemption of that country. Heathens? Why, the Negro race is and has been the most precious—the most apt—in the world's history. It has rather overshot the mark, tending to the brilliant, the bright and dazzling that the serious and conservative. It may end all right, yet the tendency is dangerous. At any rate it has nothing to do with heathenism, the point under discussion. The Negro race of America has, practically at once, what the white race has been fighting for since the birth of Jesus Christ. Only Fourteen Days more for the dollar rate! WHAT THEY THINK OF US ABROAD. In our effort to enter the larger citizenship of our country we, the Negroes, perhaps have worked overtime in showing up the uglier features of our civil life. It may not be that we have set forth too much of the things that best us; we have had too little to say of the grand, glorious things we know and enjoy. Persons abroad take us at our own words, which are to the effect that we are the most fortunate God forsaken of all earth's creatures. A looker-on in Glasgow, Scotland, a Negro one would think, has written this office a letter calling attention to the status of the Negro in foreign countries, especially Europe. In fact, no general good opinions prevail as to the colored people of whatsoever nationality. He says that the East Indians, South Africans and others go to Europe for education. After graduation they return home. The Americans, who are more aware of this advantage, they have their own schools where their young men and women are educated. The foreigners see none of the signs of culture worth speaking of. The writer says the American Negro is looked on as the most illiterate, the most brutal, and the least thrifty of God's creatures. This, of course, is a mistaken view, but it is what is thought of us. We are seen in the countries of Europe as singers, dancers-stage performers, the teachers of the various other professions which team with proficient and useful men and women. The writer thinks that our "indie lent, selfish and satisfied Negro journals do not see the force of extending their news agencies beyond the "tip of their noses." He says that when a United States Negro is charged with raping the news is flashed over the European countries. There is no contradiction. He thinks that we, in this country, should make it our business to establish agencies for counteracting the evil influence of such reports. The writer as a whole makes just restrictions as to our indifference as it concerns setting forth boldly the bright side of our civil life. We do not work sufficiently hard to see the race promoted as a whole. There are exceptions, but we are safe in saying that a vast deal of selfishness enters into our public activities. Politics has had largely to do with this. The success of "my" party has served often to squelch the last bit of racial partisan spirit. Men whom we have relied on to still stay in the van where they could be seen have too often skulked to the rear in deference to party behests. And there is reason for such action. The heads of race are feared. But it means race poetrotherapy. We are advancing slowly, nevertheless; not through our "colonels," but through the ranks—a leaven, as it were, working in the midst. The writer asks why has not America contributed colored men equally brilliant as our Presidents. The question is not a very wise one. The Presidents in the most part have been learned men, but they do not stand for the intellectualism of America. It is perhaps egoyism to say that we have many Negroes who are better learned and more brilliant than some of the Presidents were, yet it is the truth. Some of our Presidents were merely political expedients, men who were on the crest of popular approval owing to policies avowed. Others were elected as master men, and as they should be, our present executive, Woodrow Wilson, for instance. The fact of it is, that the properly qualified Negro is scarcely ever in evidence. He is in the schools, and where his name is legions; he is in the church by the thousands. He is officer of the Negro journals; he is lawyer, doctor, business man, and whose education serves him as that of a white man, making him careful, modest, discreet and the rest of it that declares for him the best proprietor. Ladies may go to have their hats made and trimmed and where the latest style prevails and extreme politeness is shown. The new place marks another milestone in the business walks of the Negro o the West. Social Work in the South. Miss M. E. Merrweather and Miss Haskins, two southern white women who are doing settlement work solely among coloured women, are her guests for the few weeks en route to attend the Race Settlement Conference at Battle Creek, Mich.

Miss Birda Russell, da As a lowly people we are the best cared for in the world. Those abroad who think of us heathens have a thought coming. The Negroes of America are held back by some ignorance and vice. They are not wholly free from these, but they are not his "disqualifications," as the Europeans may think. We suffer because of the previous condition of servitude, because of our color and race, and, of course, to some extent owing to the uncultured masses. The uncultured masses referred to do not mean dense ignorance, heathenism or savagery, nor does it mean viciousness. Our race is particularly mild, tractable, submissive. There are those among us who are arewolves, but they are few who enter conspiracies to undo the government. We have no such venality. We have thousands among us who, like the Greeks when taken captives by the Romans, who have turned captors. The is to say that there are those among the race who have become exemplars for the white people; some of the white people. It is impossible to maintain propagandas abroad or "floating" exhibitions of our status at home. But to whom it may concern can understand that the United States is one of the United States, is in every way fitting in the white man's civilization, and which civilization is at its very best right here in these United States. INVITED TO TAKE PART IN AN INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The colored people of America are invited to take part in the International Exhibition for the Book Industry and the Graphic Arts, Leipzig, 1914. The circular letter of invitation reads as follows: "Pastor Paul Hentsch, Gundertherstr. 1, Leipzig-Lind, Germany. "To the Editor of the Freeman: Dear Sir—You have no doubt already heard of the great exhibition that will take place in 1914, and of which his majesty, King Frederick of Saxony, is the patron. When I read the news I asked myself, if it would be possible to show at the exhibition some exhibits of the colored people in America, in whose matters I am especially interested, and I finally succeeded in getting those competent in the matter interested for my plan. So now I am going to collect such exhibits as would be acceptable for this great worlds fair. Here is an opportunity for the colored people of America, and for those who have devoted their lives to the culture work among the colored people, to demonstrate what they have done already and what they could do in the future. Another important feature while collecting exhibition materials is that it will also have great value for the future as the great library of Leipzig will participate in it when the exhibition is over. With the same mail I send to you some printed matter, which will tell you more. You will see especially from the "Classification Scheme" what we could use for the exhibition." RALPH W.

Ellis will speak to the Englewood Lyceum, Sunday, January 25 upon the subject of "The Liberian Republic in West Africa." The invitation was extended to Mr. Johnson, president of the Zionist Dr. Hary Garnes' Success Dr. Mary Garnes' success with a splendid location, a neat and attractive, and a忘却性 office, Dr. Harry Garnes is doing a thriving business. In a larger measure, this is due to the fact that Dr. Garnes knows the dental profession and practices of Dr. G. Garnes's work of�thine. Garnes prepared for his dental work in the schools of Ohio and then came to Illinois where he further prosecuted to complete his chosen work. He was also the first of his procession that his impression is persistent that his is an instance of a profession being chosen on account of native ability, adaptability and natural inclination. Knowing well the strenuous competition of this work he has spared no pains in procuring the finest and most complete modern equipment and implements for office and practice. That reward and recognition were an insignificant sin of the measure is shown by the constant and lucrative practice which he so thoroughly satisfies. Aside from his success as a dentist, Dr. Garnes takes an interest in affairs, socially and well-being, and is a leading social organizations in the city, and is president of the Bachelors' Matrimony Club, which has been the cause of the most well-being of the business. Nothing comes up that is for the public interest of the Negro in the Windy City that he does not take the initiative, not by words, not by any more, he stands out pro- efficiently. Associated with him in the same office is Dr. U. G. Dailey, the leading young physician and surgeon of the West. Active in Public. Misses Garnetta Tibbs, Elizabeth Clark and Helen Jackson were active young women who worked for the university and secured over a hundred members for the association for the Protection of Colored People.

Madame Pauline Champion is well known in the theatrical circles; long since she out the country as a performer, a producer and a manager. She came into the world as a performer and was associated with Madam Cordella McClain in the management of a theater in the papal palace southern cities where they had success. Later on the two madams associated as a team were generally thought to be real sisters. Madame Pauline is finely produced and were generally thought to be real figures. When she opens she begins to talk to them sit up and take notice even those on the very last row of seats. Her mother puts up a picture of stuff she puts out she makes a good straight to her partner's comedian work. By The River of Dreams, in a most beautiful way. The audience Monday her movements singing very much. Her movements are perplexing. That Bailey, William Bailey, best kept for the madman a rich find, good partner for the madman. Bill perk in the she attire; Bill gets himself up just as bad as he knows how. Lots of his fans are in the audience a comedian for true; he jumps right in and carries his audience right along with him, of talk different from eating, funny, does less of an eccentric dancing, which makes a hit. He's funny anyway you take him. He sings "What in Your Face, I've Got It." They close with the "Navajo Rag" with the armament to an advantage in Indian costume. Bill Bailey also with his fun. The team enters singing "Savannah, Shaw," with one of his graceful steps and movement. The act makes hit after hit. Crosty La Blanche Young and Jake Hellenis are also on the bill, all of whom were appreciated. During this month the Freeman will be $1 a year. WHAT'S WHAT ON THE S. H.

If you want to go to the man and enjoy a pleasant evening. Cook and Stevens at the Grand-Silini a Marvelous Jumper. Historic warfare has been kind to Cook and Stevens in an act that is not overly dramatic. They were average actors of any race in simplicity. Cook is a good natural Chinese and Japanese, while Mizushi Siblin, whose feats were marvelous, can easily be termed the world's greatest warrior. Greenworth, Vesta and Teddy, a dog, who assisted in a good act Granville and Mack, in Italian character, were the most successful bill. The last half of last week had the Alexander Sisters, two Liliputians, who were the most successful for their tender limit of energy. The Dohrtens were good, Gray and Peters, who were good, Foosean and Geneva were also on the bill. String Beans Dons New Trouseau at the Monogram. When Butler May, known as String Beans, and Essie May, opened their second work in the house, one within keeping of the law and satisfactory to public sentiment. He sang his songs as he appalled him from bailing-the-Jack and evoking the license to the house. He perambulated as usual, and the motion, in his same odyssey conceived dialectation, which drew so largely from the mixed hydromelan in his background that he named his preface as a most curious star who still has power to draw. Johnson and Baylor, who returned to the house, admired his entertainer, and Helen Baxter, a former chorus girl, who made her first appearance, and while still lacking in artistic talent, she depicted, were all included on the bill. De Lyons and Jeffries Big Return Credit: Nuvea Macro What it takes to become popular, however ugly the expression, DeLyons and Jeffries have it. The fact that they rejoice in being so funny and good on their previous visit, stamped the approval of managers and critics is now, stabilized them from the same fate. EdD Goodarnd and Edmona Lewis, in a new singing act, were a decidedly new head for the first time here to an advantage, which sustains her past reputation as a cultivated soprano, ammes Gamelon, ammes Chicken, entertaining, an dmade good, and Chicken Trust Bradford and Miss Jeanette, an attractive litter, in well-rehearsed songs and comicalities. At the All-Picture Houses. The States Theater—"Wives" was the bi picture here. The Salkin Enterprises are now giving first-run pictures. They state that they are the only contract managers who can obtain these highest pictures in the market, seen on State street.

The Lincoln—" AWartime Reformation and the new orchestra, including Bradshaw, trap drummer, drew inely. The Washington—"Hearsease" was THE FREEMAN.

Knox is in the city last Monday. When the critic run upon him he said, "I am a musician. We visited the Griffin Sisters at Will Dorsey's studio, known as the Chicago Musician actresses have started a booking agency. Frank P. George is busy writing a new play in which to newly exploit the limits of his dramatic intensity. Frank L. Gale, the piano dealer, has arrived home, looking the picture of health, from an extended tour of the South, and has been developing the development and future of that section. Sam Davis, of Davis and Walker, has arrived on the Stroll from St. Paul, on the Western Vaudeville Association time. Billy and Sadie McCarver, Charles Bruce and To mFleicher have also arrived.

Archie and Edna Jones changed their team. During the season, they attended the atlanta game and made a new impression that will bring them back. Allen and Morton are in their fifth week in town. They opened up the arena this week, with the Harris theater to finish. Wail of Friendship Dying. My friendship once for you was strong Like sun redened from the skies, But you will be my strong And made friendship concise. You thought vain passion had an aim, To act as moral, in disguise, But find I have an honored name To add to your surprise. My friendship was all innocence; Admiring you was most unwise, In combat with your ignorance That's why my friendship dies. Forlorn, alone, you sigh, at last, When you see your eyes, Which tail of errors in the past So now my friendship dies. WASHINGTON, D. C., THEATERS **The S. H. Dudley.** Opened with singing and dancing. A good team. Also Mone Clark, who was sales good. A great collection of pictures closed a great bill. **The Majestic.** Miss Susie Tuben and T. Spencer Finley headed a great bill here. On account of the success, she saw as yet. Will tell you more about it after we see it. Reports say it is great. A great collection of pictures and a good vaudeville team, with good crowds. They played here all week in the playhouse. The Grand. Same good crowds; same good pictures Same good vaudville at this popular The Foraker. Thomas Mellon, one of the best trump musical acts on the Dudley time, played here with success, storming the bill. He had lots of class. Same good pictures. The Chelsea. "The Phantom Signal" headed a great collection of pictures at this house. Then came Lewis and Lewis, wooden shoe dancers in songs and dances, cleaning up for fair, being a great act. Gentry all smiles with his big crowds. We have been asked to shoot over a snapshot or review of 1913, and it will be brief. With the exception of one theater they all have done well, the Chelsea leading all, the Fairyland having the most stormy career, with the Blue Mouse a close second. The writer believes that the two last named theaters' days are numbered. However, we hope not. We shall now try to express a few opinions. The 1913 winners in the theatrical world are Palace Airdome, Iceland Airdome, Grand in the money, Navy in the money, Dudley theater a winner, Foraker in the money, The Lies are blue ribbon winner out there. Fairyland and Blue Mouse have not shown the class running yet. They have a chance for improvement. We have been blessed with S. H. Dudley, Bert Williams, Aida Overton Walker, Fiddler and Shelton, J. Rosmand Johnston and other great acts during 1913. Also J. Luire Hill and the Darktown Follies in "My Friend from Kentucky," S. H. Dudley stood out as the favorite of them all, although there were other good acts. Here's to the grown-ups, also the children of tomorrow. We grown-ups of today were the children of yesterday and will have to shape the future of the children who are coming up today. We leave them our heritage, be it good or bad. We should leave them who are to follow us a good heritage. The children do not work; their hands are tender. We should look out for them and guide them on the straight and narrow path. Recall the new year for mistakes that teach, then dismiss it forever. It is dead. Let it go. Wishing all a Happy New Year during 1914, also wishing to mention that Mr. Summers dropped in on us last week looking fine. JNO. H. HALL METROPOLITAN THEATER, MEM PHIS. TENN. (By Eugene Anderson.) The Thornton Sisters opened the bill with pleasing songs and danse, they are with pleasing songs and dances. They are in their second week, doing more and more, send them away screaming. Charles and his trombone keep the audience in an uprorm to the time he makes it. His rendition of "Traumerei" was appreciated by the critical must clovers, while the "Blues" brought down the house. The band has won a warm place in the hearts of the Metropolitan patrons. As a headliner Mr. Barrasso engaged Barrasso and her Three Saints and as was expected, they scored an instantaneous hit. The show is a melange of song, dance, music and fascinating young woman, as the star. Their costumes are very elaborate and equal to any of the best road-shows. And wisdom that we get to see such attractions and we feel very grate- ful to Mr. Barrasso for offering us this company o exceptional ability. Next week's bill consists of Edwards and Hardege, Stone and Stone and Memphis's favorites, Bert Whitman and her Three Sunbeams. If you book Bert Whitman and her Three Sunbeams the S. R. O. will be changed to C. G. I. (Can't Get In). THEATRICAL NEWS OF CINCINNATI, OHIO The shows at the 5th Street play houses this week have some very good spots in them and some that are very fair. The Pekin has a three-a-ect bill with two single and double hours of work, he's always and has been balanced. Miss Bessie Edginton and her trained dog open the show with some clever work. Emmet Anthony and old Cin'cy favorite follows with a good monologue and some evening singing. Miss Bessie and the two have a new knockout turn, every thing in the act being new, and they were the hit of the bill. The Pekin has large crowds all the week. Every thing seems to be working very smooth at the Lincoln this week. J. W. Gray, a violinist, has been added to the orchestra, making five pieces in all. The Mississippi Trio, Delaney, Chase and Delaney are the opening number. The turn was all active. Bron and Hodes, high class team off of the Keith circuit, followed, billed as Indian singers and cartoonists. It is the first appearance of the team over this time, and it is the first time, any similar act of its kind has been created in the same hours. The new classy turn. The Two Sweets have returned again and are the closing number on the bill. The act gave general satisfaction, though it is about the same as has been seen here on the other side. They are all favorites here and they were given a rousing reception. Notes.

Local playgoers are attending the performances at the Metropolitan this week in unprecedented numbers, the audiences being the largest in the history of the city. Standing room sold at a premium. The unusual attendance is primarily due to the engagement of Madame Tylers and the Engerwood, "The Hawaiian Duo," native to Hawaii. They carry their own scenery and their act is one of no little importance. The Arrants are scoring heavily. Chas, Arrant, "the ragtime trambone king," is great and is forced to respond to five and six encores nightly. Mrs. Arrant is a dainty singing and dancing soubrette, who delivers the goods in a clever manner and has made herself one of the Metropolitan favorites. The Thornton Sisters are cleaning up in their late songs and clever dancing. Their impersonations are good and they receive their share of applause each night. Our genial manager, Mr. A. Barrasso, is to be congratulated upon engaging Bert Whitman and her Three Sunbeams for the week of the 5th. He says there is nothing too good for good people.

From the far, far East, the land of prophets, philosophers and sages, there comes to us a story, briefly told. It is Several men were grouped about the carcass of some animal that had met a violent death. "What a hideous face," said one of the group. "Hod" that was the one its limbs," said another, "monstrously." He met another, and then returned to the early age of his ears, some one else remarked. So those in the group seemed to vie one with the other as to who could discover the greatest number of defects about the dead animal's body, until there walked into their main stranger. His little wife was mock and there was a holy expression upon his face as he turned his sorrowing, pitying eyes upon the group. Then looking at the dead beast the stranger spoke. His voice rang clear and sweet with the melody of human kindness and symmetry. "Are not the same with the beautiful and beautiful, the stranger asked. The man felt the gentle rebuke and with shamed faces and hanging heads they dispersed and went their ways. Am omniscent, omnipatent Creator has so designed that all things of nature, no matter how hideous, their period, some some hidden virtue or beauty that one may find in the seeking. But often the more vision is so distorted or blind ed by hatred, prejudice, envy and greed that we fail to see these deep beauties when we fail to raise them, hypocritical faces to heaven and God we are not as others, wholly forgetting our own imperfections. We are not meant as an introduction. I have no desire to be numbered with the multitude of Jack Johnson censured. I will not condemn or condone my so-called disreputations and irregularties. I am going to speak of one of his virtues— I have heard of poor boys who by some stroke of good fortune suddenly found themselves rich and honored and were able to parentage. This was not true of Jack. After years of struggle and preparation he was famous, the most-talked-of person in the community. But he did not forget his mummy. It is a long step from a typical Southern boy to a bask avenue mansion in Chicago. Ill. But this is what Jack did for his mummy. The first news of his victory was telegraphed to his mummy. When he re-entered the mansion, the door of the mansion he had provided for her, and there before clamoring thousands of enthusiastic admirers to his mummy, he made a gesture with those great arms, the powerful muscles of which had just humbled one of the most pugilistic gladiators the world had. Jack gave the beautiful mansion to his mammy. It is her very own without any encumbrances. He is still her mainstay and support. While abroad he not only writes her daily, but sends her cablegrams twice weekly. The money for her maintenance is always forthcoming. He insists that she will now enjoy every luxury she missed while struggling to support himself and a large family. His mother laughingly told me how provoked Jack became when she would not allow him to install an orchestra in the house to play day and evening for her amusement. Men may fear to come in contact with Jack's long arms, steel muscles and huge fists, but not in mammy. To do it still "mammy's boy". And she would not hesitate an instant to box his ears if there was the necessary provocation. A Wabash avenue mansion has made no change in Jack's mammy. I called at the Johnson mansion upon invitation from Jack's sister Lucy. Mrs. Johnson greeted me with a genial smile of welcome. She wore a plain black satin date, the beauty of which was enhanced by the perennial white aprow worn by Southern mammies. She waxed eloquent whenever Jack was the subject of conversation. Everywhere Jack's final devotion. At the table I was given Jack's place, an honor accorded to Jack's place and J. Homer Tutu occupied places in the table and partook of a genuine Southern dinner, which consisted of pig tails and saurer pork, mashed potatoes for cake; pie, mashed potatoes for looks like ice cream, macaroni that could not be duplicated by the highest salaried chef in the most aristocratic hotel; French plum and the staple dessert, bread pudding. Jack's mammy and sister stood by and watched us eat out and a cometate sauce and forget the limit of human endurance his mammy enjoyed this better than one of then new-fangled dinners." She read our thoughts rightly. Elwood Knox, editor of The Indianapolis Freeman, and Tim Owlesy, better known as the little wizard, owner of the Terre Haute to see that Womack Jr. President. Both expressed themselves keenly about the entertainment. While in the city they were of truly. A very pleasant time was spent renewing old acquaintances and making the Smart Set Company will be right to have these gentlemen call frequently. While in Chicago no one should miss visiting the Chauteau. It is the place beautiful. Mr. Joe Shoecraft is the manager, than whom there is no more popular man in Chicago. In company with Mr. Sylvester Russell I visited the Chauteau and was hospitably entertained by Mr. Shoecraft. Mr. Russell and I visited most of the State street theaters. We were accorded a cordial welcome by the managers. There were good bills at the two Monograms and the Grand. Allie Gillam and Will Cooke, Julian Costello, the Freeman Trio, Rose Fox and Picks and Madge Clinton were strong features at the Monograms. EASTERN THEATRICAL NOTES. (By Billy E. Jones.)

Bert Williams at Keith's theater last week, in Philadelphia, scored a big success and the fact that he was the headliner of a bill of excellence is not of as much interest as the fact that he is the first colored performer to play this house for a number of years.

Chairman Press Committee. SANITATION IN THE HOME. Sanitation is that department of human knowledge which regards the laws of the human body and of the agents by which they preserve the preservation of health and the warding off of disease and death. The practical application of these laws constitutes hygiene or the art of preventing disease, and is divided into public and private hygiene. Public hygiene has regard for the health of the public and the public welfare. Private hygiene has regard for the health of persons in their homes. It is the latter that we wish to emphasize in the course of our work in mending and legislatures of the commonwealths are enacting laws each year to improve the conditions in public places. Even the school boards have passed laws to expel or suspend any child from school whose condition is such as to prevent them from attending school. All these measures are very good, and no doubt do a great deal of good in preventing children from being abused. But to my mind the beginning of all things has not been properly reached. The laws that could be passed cannot impress the public, and the laws that spend two-thirds of his time in a home that disregards every law of hygiene that has ever been passed, no can laws prohibit the use of public facilities in various ways come in contact with such persons. It is in the homes that we have to work, and in the homes here also that they grow to manhood and womanhood. Then it is in the home that our greatest enemies to health are four. In the first place, no home is in a sanitary condition that is not clean from germs. In the second place, where the bed clothes are not clean and fresh. No home is healthy where from four to six persons sleep in the same room. No home is healthy where the family sleep in the same room with those who are well. A child born and raised in a clean home and clean clothes some few and far between may grow up to a healthy man or woman, but the odds are sadly against them. In the third place, and thrive in unclean places that some authorities on the subject have calculated that the average life would be almost a present, if our homes were perfectly clean. Then it is in the home that we must protect it and keep it in health. We must protect our food from flies, because these little creatures attack our bodies. Food must be properly cooked to keep the body in good condition, and bad stomachs cause bad temper, and who knows but what this is the cause of separation and bad living in many homes. It is sad but try that good clean homes are not as prevalent among our young people as among the older people. Girls do not in many cases make as good housekeepers as the others. There's a lot of money to account for this. Our young people are growing away from work. Mothers make the mistake of doing most of the work, and the daughters play ladies. Mothers, this is a mistake, they are in their own children's own life. In the case of you are gone. The girl will marry, and if she is a poor housekeeper her husband will soon get sick and die or disgusted and leave. Girls do not make the mistake of making up the things they have done. Your work is not to make the mis-begun. Take some good home magazine; study and read everything you can get that will help you to promote the health of the house. It is not a question to the family, but a question to the world. Keep the home so sweet that the husband and children will always be in a house to the home. But you can be to them in the best place in the world. If all the women in America could learn to feed their families properly and keep them clean, two-thirds of the laws of schools would be useless, doctors would be to them. It is not a question to them, but a little need for legislative laws to protect the health of the people. MRS. A. A. L. GAVIN, Laurel, Miss.

It was a good press agent yarn and Johnson stood for it, as he was willing to get any publicity. He said a lot of nice things about (By Billy Lewis.) That Jess Willard can knock out any of the present heavyweights once he has been stung was the verdict of fight 12nd who saw him stop for a long time. Boer, in a�ing round of the scheduled treets round fight at New Haven, Cornel, the top-down of the Jow by a single-fight uppercut, the Boer with a single-fight uppercut. News comes from London that a fight has been arranged between Bandsman Blake, the English champion middleweight, and George Carpentier, the French champion, for $2,500 a side and a pursed $10,000. It was created "the Black Kid", American puglist in a twenty-round bout in London on January 1. Carpentier in his last fight, which took place at London on December 8, knocked out Bombardier Wells in one round. Unless Joe Rivers, the Los Angeles Mexican fighter, undersdoes a change of heart between now and January 23 he will battle Ad Wolgast ten rounds at the Milwaukee Auditorium on that date. Temporary advances were drawn recently from the presented to the match for TomBig. Michigan boy while a telegram from Joe Levy, Rivers' manager, stated that the terms were satisfactory to him. It was the promoters' intention to stage a Wolgast-little contest in the Cream City, but the team from the champion's manager Harry Poey stated that Ritchie would not consider the go unless given a guarantee of $10,000. Kil McCoy is in Nice, France, where he hopes to arrange a clash with Georges carpenter. Mr. McCoy was at his day, but he chose he has at the age of 14 to defeat the French champ. The four-fish stunt recently staged in two jobsbones, Jack and Jim, came very near putting the boxing game on the fritz in the gay capital. Nelson has fought over 130 battles in the 17 years of the most phenomenal record ever made by a pugilist in any division of the $350,000, which he has made by endurance and ring generalship is the banner record in gulliglish finance. Arthur Poleky still hopes to be heavyweight champion of the world. He realizes that his defeat at the hands of Gunbo, the discard, but he declares he will yet reach the top of the ladder. "After a brief," Mr. Poleky reiterates his all over again and right my way to the top. While I do not want to make any excuses, I did not show my true form when I fought Smith, I can much better and I am going to do it. Arthur Duffey, the ex-amateur sprint champion, says: "They have Howard Drew, the champion sprinter, going to enter the University of California now. Before the opening of the college athletic season they had Drew going to Darkmouth. Later Drew was going to Brown, but his spite of all reports Drew recalled as a Springfield, bustling baggage about the Springfield railroad station and he knew but little about going to the different colleges. If Drew does go to the coast he is going to make a valuable addition to the westerners' athletic team. He is about the fastest thing in a running shoe I have seen for many a day."

Fields hopes to box in Wear Baden again soon. He has not heard no micro concerning a return match, but thinks McClure is afraid to box him. *The University of Chicago swimmers under Coach White have been trying out the new annual game known as water polo, and the game will prove a practicable substitute for water polo. Polo was officially abolished by conference ruling two years ago, and since that time the game has been a contest which will prove an equal attraction. Water polo generally regarded as the roughest sport with much disapproval for years.* Sweden is already preparing to send a strong team entry for the modern peloton in the 2018 Bikinis. A special training school has been opened in Stockholm and 24 young athletes are undergoing training under the excellent results have been attained, but the actual figures are kept secret, so the results are spread abroad. The crown prince is taking great interest in the work of the school, where he is personally involved. It will be recited the Sweden won first, second and third in the competition during the Stockholm race. For people give Jack Johnson credit for his personal chance.

We have in our possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, failing memory and lame black, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that we think every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virility, quickly and quietly, should have a copy. So we have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write us for it. This prescription comes from a physician, and has made a special study of the act of acting combination for the cure of dehydration and vigor failure ever put into our mind. We think we owe it to our fellow man and send them a copy in confidence, so that man anywhere who is weak and disoriented with repeated failures may stop drugging and with harmful patient medicines, secure with warm water and restore, upbuilding, SOPP BUCHING remedy devised, and so we can quickly and quietly. Just drop us in like a substitute Remedy Co., $381 Luck Build-Up, Draft Mich., and will you send a phone call to apply receipt in a plain, ordinary envelope. If many doctors would charge $300 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but we send it entirely free. knocked Johnson down. It was a good press agent yarn and Johnson stood for it, as he was willing to get any public interest. He said a lot of nice things about Smith and intimated that he was as hard as he had ever faced. The brought Smith to notice and gave him a chance of being a concise and unsolicited and good thing. In these short bouts Smith was not a success. He did not have the speed and got a panning for his pains. But Jim Buckley saw him spotted him for a common and piloted him—via the long route—to the leadership of the white hopes. Stanley Kachel, whom no one has succeeded, had a little hunchback or his hard-binger of good fortune. As superstitious as the rest of his profession, Ketchel had absolute faith in the power of the boy called Little Toby. Toby used to be in Stanley's corner in all his big fights. He was there when Kachel fought. Paplet Kelly, the Sullivan twins and O'Brien. A month after Toby left him Ketchel was killed. Jack Johnson is an expensive fighter. He announced recently in Paris that he would not enter any ring for less than $20,000. He said he had been offered $35,000 for his scheduled bout with and Morgan Hittsby. Heavyweight, and expected to get $20,000 for a fight with Sam Langford here. Ray Bronson, Indianapolis boxer, joined the White Sox-Giant tourists at Melbourne, Australia, January 6, and worked out with the Giants while Eddie McGoorty of Oshkosh was batting flies to the Sox. The tourists were given an official welcome to the largest and richest city in Australia by the lord mayor of Mboinorn. The touring party responded with a baseball game, which went to the Giants, 7 to 2. Joe Benz, the Indiana butcher boy pitcher, showed the local cricketers how not to put a ball over the plate, while "Books" Wiltse proved an accoraplished disher of puzzling shoots. Fred Merkle got on one of Benz's spitters for a circuit, while two of McGraw's men were waiting on the sacks. More than 1000 people were ordered into grand stand to see the game. Upon landing at Melbourne the ballplayers were taken immediately to the Governor's domain, in South Melbourne, where Lord Denman, executive over all Australia, and Lady Denman had laid out a feat for the athletes of Uncle Sam. Lord Denman was more than McGraw and Charley or Moseley. "Romans, the the latchkey of Australia was hanging out and that any mention of want would be immediately gratified. According to advises received at San Francisco, Power of the Boston Athletic Conference, Francisco Olympic Club, members of the All-American team track, broke records in the 800-yard race in New Zealand. Power established a New Zealand and 880-yard record with oe minute and fifty-eight seconds, which is a fifth better than the record made by Burke in 1995. Templeton broke the New Zealand and Australian pole vault record, leaping 11 feet 1 inch. He marked of 11 feet 1 inch. Templeton broke his pole at this height and was unable to jump over the fence. The spinner of the team, is laid up with a sprained tendon and will not compete until January 10. Caughey, the weight handler, is confidently to spare. All events were randicards. FITZSIMMONS RENOUNCES AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP Enraged Over Barred from Go than that, He Reprieve Leaving, London. Eruged over the action of the New York Boxing Commission in barring him from entering the games, the State, Bob Fitzpatrick, ex-heavyweight champion, issued a lently statement at Plainfield, Indiana, on the board, renounced American citizenship and claimed that the citizen had no rights, regretted ever leaving England and was not allowed to come when he fought Jeffries. Instead the board is taking his only means of making bread and butter away from him, and if he is not allowed to box he will starve to death. He complained with that in America and claims the English sportmen are a better type of men than the Americans who manage the business. He says he was bulldozed in signing his citizenship papers. By hard training he has managed his weight during his weight from 214 to 170 pounds. NO FUDGE BE PERMITTED GIRLS TAKING UP ATHLETICS Early hours, abstention from drinking either tea or coffee and from eating pastry or sweets, and prohibition of eating nuts, are some of the training rules which have just been adopted by the new Jackson College Athletic Association of Kentucky. Students take part this spring in the various basketball and track meet. The penalty for violation is the taking away from an offender the right to compete in class teams. The rules are as follows: 1. Every girl who is in training will be required to be in bed every night at 10 o'clock, with the exception of one 2. No girl in training is allowed to drink water during any time, or water after violent exercise. 3. During training, eating between meals of anything except fruits and nuts is forbidden. 4. No pastry or sweets allowed during training. training. All girls out for basketball will be required to keep these rules during the entire season. All girls who enter the track meet will be required to keep these rules one FRECHMAN RIDES FASTER THAN WILD BOB BURMAN Bob Burman's high-water mark is 141.73 miles an hour is no more, but he has been able to cover 308 horsepower Flat at Ostend recently. Duray hit 142.9 for a kilometer in his attempt. Subsequent attempts to duplicate his performance, direction, formation, and necessary feat to make everything official, according to European standards, failed on account of wind and light rain. The trial will be made in the winter, however. The machine is the property of Prince Soukkanof, a Russian sportsman not known for his speed, ever structured with practical merits, having a bore and stroke of 7.48x10.4 inches. It is so high that it is almost impossible to measure it, but measuring 5 feet 7 inches from the ground to the top of the bonnet. A special wind cutter can be used to speed trials. It is expected ultimately to attain 145 miles an hour. Another attempt to lower the world's straightaway to the twelve-cylinder Sunbeam that recently shattered the world's skyscrapers and dozens of southern France will be employed. TITLE BELONG TO JOHNSON. SO SAYS JIM CORBETT Thinks He Can Easily Be Defeated Willie Ritchie Can Make Weight. Jack Johnson is the heavyweight champion of the world. Did you know that, reader? No? Well, the startling fact is that he was Secretary Charles Harvey of the New York Boxing Commission, who cabled the astounding information to Paris in response to a query from the French boxing authority concerning Johnson's status as a pug. It appears that certain promoters on the other side are peeved on the business of their clubs. I suppose there just about as much leisure and bickering over there amounts to a backer on the side of Mr. Vienne, the director of the Society for THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER the Propagation of Boxing in France (get that title?), wanted the New York boxing club to oppose him by refusing to meet Sam Langford had forfeited his claim on the title. Naturally the local people could not do this, as much as they might have wished to do, but they did not give the title away from Johnson except by killing him, beating him in a fair fight in the ring, accident or through his volunteering. The rules (what a joke these rules) which compels a champion to defend his title any offender than he feels like he is in the ring, or through his volunteering, defend his title at least once a year, if any one challenged, but nowadays conditions are different and he is expected to fight as a professional boxing power as a theatrical star is waning. Rule Would Help It would be a good idea if the authorities of the different countries were to get together and adopt an international rule which would force all publicist members to be held in the title of office, but how are you going to bring them to gather? It might be possible to get the French promoters to consent to such a mention of the European Union. The band decides is accepted as final by the smaller fry, but in the dear old U. S. A. how about it? Why, over here the authorities in one State will be in the case of the other states. For recent examples take the Wisconsin ruling against Packy McFarland. Packey is barred for a year in the case of the law is welcome every place else in the country. When the New York commission set Attell down for six months all Abe had to do was to go outside the State to get back to the State. The State's conditions exist in this country it is idle to talk about passing international rules to regulate boxers and boxing. The U.S. state appearance in the ring indicates that he has hit the down grade. Apparently it would not now take a really great fighter to defeat him. Jim Cofforth and the United States were the right to find a battleground, then offer the big smoke a fat purse, and see how quickly he would grab at it. The greatest difficulty Cofforth will experience is finding community where they will stand. Ritchie Must Show. Willie Ritchie will do well to keep a physician with him constantly during the training campaign for the coming mullion season. If he happens to again happen to the champion necessitating another delay he would have a very difficult job to accomplish. The organization of the San Francisco public. Since he abandoned the Welsh match in Canada and then had to ask a postponement of the game, he has been under suspicion on the coast, where we know Tommy Murphy's limits—that he can do anything. Ritchie can do—fearfully the bout with Murphy as some easy money for the champion. But out California way where he lives, he will look at it in a different light, and several critics have even accused Willie of harboring no desire to test his capacity. Since Ritchie has gone on record in favor of raising the lightweight limit to 135 pounds a howl has arisen from different parts of the country that he is really a welterweight. From what I had been told I was under the impression that the lightweight champion could no more make 133 pounds and be fit than I could. But when training for the New York bout with Leach Cross I watched Willie jump on the scales several days before the fight, and he balanced at exactly 133%. And, mind you, the conditions of that match did not call for 133, but for 135 at 9 o'clock in the evening. As this weight was what Ritchie scaled two or three days before the bout, it is easy to imagine that 133 ringside would be no great hardship for him. Like to Talk. Jim Buckley, manager for Tommy Murphy, likes to talk a lot. Jim is a good speaker, and he likes to be happy as when he has an audience. Anyhow, a day or two after the recent postponement all parties interested met in the meeting to match. Ritchie wanted the same weight conditions to govern. Buckley made a spiel about Murphy wanting the welsh man to be the one to win some concessions in view of the fact that the postponement was no fault of his, and that he (Buckley) would bet $3,000 on the Welsh man to win the weight Ritchie came back so quickly with the coin that it made Buckley's hair curl. Ritchie would have he would be the money, at the prevailing ringside odds, and not at even money. Any one who thinks Ritchie can make Chip Not Champion. George Chip may eventually be middleweight champion, but I don't know by what weight he has been forced to as champion. There are several other good men in the division he has to beat before he is ready to fight as Stanley Ketchel's successor, himself according to report, evidently feels the same about it. He does not think he has accomplished anything twice. Not do I think Frank Klaus away could enthrone very much over the Klaus type of fighter. That kind do not appeal to me. I don't feel the best feat was stopping George Carpentier, and it is a question if there is a midweight country where you couldn't turn a simple trick. PARISIAN HAS BEEN CHAMP OF ALL CLASSES Carpentier Wonder of Boxing World Starts in Game at the Age of 7 We may soon look upon the "Champion d'Europe et Champion du Monde" "boxe de France" may appear in this country. That brilliant French boy recently overcame a difficult case, can fight methods and was set down for nine months by the French Boxing Association, to talk of matching him with Gunboat Smith, and if this can be managed the fight would have to be held either as a test or in a match here, with the chances favoring this country. To bring this to pass, however, we must have to make his peace with the commission. Monstre Francois Descampé, Carpentier, announced himself as "be willing to match his protege with the Gunner, so, as good old Billy Jordan always says, "Let Georges Carpentier, who is now champion of Europe, is the coach of Bombardier Welis, is really a great fighter. Carpentier, who is only 19 years old now, has been bobbed by the coach of Bombardier. Larity since he was 12 years old. He has suffered all the vicissitudes of fortune. He has been the French champion of Europe, from free fall to heavyweight, which he now holds despite the fac that he weighs only about 170 kg. He has won 63 of them, 20 by the knockout route, and lost 8 times, suffering knockouts in 3 of them. The two 'K' O's may be excused in a way by the fact that he was only 14 years old at the Gives Up Mining. Georges Carpentier was born January 12, 1834, at Lieven, France. He was deserved a career, and, after his teacher, who, however, gave up mining to move to Lens, where he opened a cafe. He was also a teacher, and he schooled his pugnacious nature and lively disposition made him a terror of the teacher and his students. He was a gymnastique, where he first became interested in the new sport that had just arrived in France - boxing. He was a champion, and mastered the new game so well that he made his debut as a prize-fighter at Paris. Three months later, the little fellow competed in a tournament for the bantam championship of France and was defeated by the champion. He and much bigger, Carpentier weighed but 75 pounds at the time. However, on his return to Paris, he was proclaimed amateur champion in France at Paris. Georges career, and he had to go to work in the mines to help provide for the family. He worked the dark grind before he broke away to follow his heart's desire within the squared circle. He then went on his first battle for a purse of $60. From then on he rose fast. Wins Feather Title. Carpentier won the French featherweight title on June 26, 1909, by knocking out outfielder Ledeaux, the aggressive catch who received such a raw deal recently in this country. He won the lightweight crown the same year from Paul Bertolini. He won the middleweight championship of Europe from the Englishman, Jim Sullivan, at Monte Carlo. All those who have been able to defeat him decisively in recent years were the three Americans, Papke, Klaus and the Dixie Kid. In return he has beaten her and she has been beaten and Jeff Smith, proving that he learned the lessons he received from the Amazons. The writer was a guest at Carpenter's home in Paris this year and was much impressed with the intelligence of the children. He attended Triplee at 30 Rue Brunnel, and maintains exquisite apartments for his parents, his wife and their little son. Almost all of the children are little, the nice-looking Georges has not a mark to show for it. He is undoubtedly a child, and he is polite,耐er; with his nobly clothes fitting him to perfection, he appears slight and small, and carries himself like a gentleman. His manners are polite, and he engages by a perennial smile. A Soup and Nut Boxer. After 6 o'clock you will always find him in evening dress, a distinct emphasis of which is the change from the rough-neck to the sublime. He deserves a place at the head of Gibbons and Coulon. I might cite a accident that the exposes one great secret of his success as a boxer, this brains. He has a strong hand through M. Vienne, the French promoter. I arrived duly and was ushered in with a welcome and butlers, only to learn by signs and motions that Francois Descamps, who had never been unable to be present. Carpenter spoke no English and I no French—so it looked like a long pause. But the French champion was a man of upan idea. In a bash he was gone, only to return with a telephone, to which he then called up a friend of his who could speak both French and English and in another other side of Paris, I conversed with Carpenter on the telephone, even though he was in the same room. In this country that enjoys one-half the popularity that is the debonair. French champion's. The fact that enjoys something like $200,000 is proof enough for it.

San Francisco Has Been in Game for Thirteen Years and Taken in More Than $1,000,000 at His Gates—"Organization" His Secret - Attributes His Success to Giving Patrons the Seats They Purchase and Running Contests in Orderly Way. In the boxing game close on to 12 years as promoter of the game pure and rich, San Francisco has champions come and go and taken in over a million dollars from the public, until now it is ranked as the country, in the history of James W. Coffroff, says the San Francisco Chronicle. The country has attained the success of the San Francisco. No one of them has been able to gain the confidence of the people until it is that giving the same card, under similar conditions as any other impressario, and Coffroff has business chiefly because of its own prosperity. If there is any one thing at which Coffroff excels more than any other, handling box contests—it is facts and figures. Just where he carries them is the wonder, but they are there beyond any question. A guide isn't necessary with Coffroff around. Just ring him up on the 'phone, tell him you want to know when Jim Jerries will be playing. And he will give you the day of the month, the year, how the fight ended and how much money they drew. And to out on some more insignificant match and you'll discover the information at his disposal. "What do I think is the one thing above all others that constitutes a successful promoter?" "Organization" the Secret. "Well, you'll probably laugh," he remarked, "but my answer to that is giving people what they want. It is a matter of organization. I have built up an organization of men who have little left for me but the making of matches. It is like a well-regulated army, with a job for everyone, carrying at the last moment, and no bother. Everything proceeds according to schedule. The gives and receives will come again. They will come again. The simple matter of seeing that people get their right to play, and that reason why they shouldn't, but from time immemorial it has been the custom, and it helped wounded the plan, and it helped wonderfully. And those who have had any trouble in getting the seat with the pillow and paid the price with the promoter. Coffroth was in a measure pitchforked into boxing from the 1910s when he was the secretary of the superior court judges, Coffroth. While New York he met Jim Kennedy. who was then the "big noise" in pugilism. It was just at the close of the Horton game, and I was dropped. The game was to be dropped in New York, and naturally the talk was on the future of the game. The team Francisco field was mentioned, and Coffroth, although his only experience in boxing had been that of an ardent fan, can induced to associate himself with Kane and Gleason in the handling of contests. "The first show we held," said Coffroth, "between George Hawkins and George (Bob) We drew only $1,800, but I was more than I ever have been since that time when that experience in the game does for you." Harry Corbett in Club Harry Corbett associated himself with the 1903 and 1904, but after that dropped out of college and practiced work alone since that time. In 1905 the promoter was shut out of San Diego, the open-air shows on holiday dates at the college, permits, and operated in the little pavilion at Colma that long since burned down. Again in 1907, 1908 and 1909 he was forced out of the city and held for the first heavyweight championship much more than he showed. Under his auspices in 1901 was held the first heavyweight championship much more than he showed. defeated Gus Ruhlin. Incidentally, it was the first time the people of this city had a fight with him, from $2 to $20 for their seats, a scale of prices that brought $30,800 into the house. It. The Coffroh who was responsible for the "hairy" championship, inaugurating that class when brought Bob Fitzsimmons and George Coffroh had a lot of overgrown middleweight's on his hands, and to make him a new division. One of the few times he seats ever cost $5 a throw was at the Fitzsimmons-Jeffries fight, a condition through the demands of the fighters. LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK.

GREEK STUDENT AT PENN DECLARED STRONGEST MAN What is claimed to be a world's record for strength tests was made recently by Michael Dorzias, a Greek athlete, who is a student at the University of Pennsylvania, when he registered a total of 1,890 kilograms on the standard testing machines in the university gym. Dr. R. Tait McKenzie, the physical director, who witnessed the tests, declared that in his opinion Dorzias is the strongest man in the world. Dorzias earlier in the year made a new Pennsylvania and what is claimed to be an intercollegiate record of 1,774 kilograms. This was almost equaled by Kenneth C. Withrow, a freshman, who registered 1,700 kilograms, and the Greek was spurred on to make another trial. THE FREEMAN IN HOUSTON, TEX.

John Hardrick, son of Shepherd Hardrick, a prominent coal dealer, gave an exhibition of his collection of art studies and a day of study at the University of day of last week at the Allen chapel church. A big crowd viewed them. A program, presided over by Gurteen Baird, night at the close of which Mr. Hardrick, who is in his early 20's, gave an explanation of his pictures, which hung on the walls of math lab. He was one of six students in number, the prices of which range from $5 to $200. Miss Olive Jackson, a student at Heron Institute, had several of her drawings by noted critics of being the best draftsman ever entered in that school. When in the fifth year of the grammar school, she saw the unusual talent he possessed and encouraged him to further develop it. He completed the graded schools and entered Minna Training high school, where he graduated. "I devoted nearly all of my attention," says Mr. Hardickle, an studies professor at the University of Arkansas. He almost forgot to get my other studies. I am pleased to know that you are well prepared to study at the university, easy in my pursuit of this wonderful art, I have been discouraged many times, and I have been encouraged to try into Herron Institute, which school I now attend, told me that I didn't know anything about it. I met then, but now after three years of study there I realize what little I knew.

"I have won premium after premium at the Indiana State Fair." Until January 31 one dollar pays for a year's subscription. Blue Boys" Lose by 13 to 11 Score—Blues-All High Game Fast and Interesting. Y. M. C. A. League Standing. Teams Won Lost Pet Reds 3 1 750 Blues All Highs 3 250 Working Boys 1 3 The Reds met their first defeat Saturday during the tournament, by the score of 13 to 11. Captain Artis Working Boys beat the leaders in the fastest and most exciting game that has been pulled off in the 1st gym. The toilets ended the first half with the score 6 to 3 in their favor. The Reds tied the score at seven points in the second half, and then the battle was on for sure. The two teams fought like time to start the 1st work. Working Boys, who are of the junior department, created a stern determination to lower the colors of the "big boys," and it was apparent that some of the Reds were gasping for wind. The W. B.'s demonstrated that they were much faster than their older brothers and if they play tonight's game with the same agility an extraordinarily swift game with the All-Highs might be expected. At the last minute of the game the score stood 11 to 11. The Reds got rough and the W. B.'s The first half o the Blues-All-Highs game for some time looked as if it would be the flinches of the players that the ball went into the basket but once an attacker made a spurt in the second half with the Blues hanging up a victory with the score of 3-0. The Reds and Blues are composed of members of the senior gym classes while the junior department. For their age and size the latter two teams put up a strong team to fight hard to hold their position. Tonight's game is expected to be the most interesting game in the Blues play for first position and the Working Boys attempt to climb a notch above the first place and the All-Highs are joint owners of the cellar position. It is invited to attend these Saturday night games. Games called at $3.00 o'clock. Following is the line-up of the four teams. Dunlap . . . Forward . . . Bake Bryant . . . Forward . . .

Ouverture, is in many ways an interesting and remarkable country filled by Negroes. The people here may be divided into two separate and distinct classes, viz., the educated or aristocrat, and the doubtless, is due to the fact that land privilege is not equally enjoyed by all, and to the fact that wealth is equally enjoyed by all the people. The rich and wealthy send their children to France where they enjoy all the education, the wealth, the country, while the poor must depend upon the poor and wholly inadequate schools of the Island, which, with a few exceptions, amounts At this writing, however, there is what may be termed an educational awakening spreading over the country, and growing in the schools throughout the republic. I find much wealth here among the favored few, this is due largely to the ownership, owning, and business opportunities seem to be open only to political favorites or those whose station and influence are in some form of war or elections, which as you know, very often means war. This situation, as you can easily see, makes the rich very rich in the islands, however, I observed more actual poverty, and industrial discontent in Jamaica. I observed more beautiful women, polite and handsome men, than can be found in such large numbers in any part of the world, the most beautiful last week, and I don't know that I have ever met a more intelligent, polite, well groomed and thoughtful, courteous woman, whom I consider himself the natural protector of women, indeed as one notes their uniform consideration and politeness, even when knighthood was in flower. There is, however, one criticism that I think will justly apply to them, to the fact, that they have no in contact with aggressive American customs and habits. I am thinking, that this is a great field for the American women, peculiar to the country, with money, there are thousands of acres of rich uncultivated land here that may be owned or leased for almost nothing to sell in America. Climatic conditions here are such that every product known to our Southland men is grown in the tropics, here in the blood, and money in the hands of men who know how to use it. Perpetual springs, beautiful and beautiful, a pleasing contrast to the intense heat that is so disagreeably noticeable in Jamaica. The one degrading thing about Haiti.
