PENNSYLVANIA BLOCK WEST PARK STREET THE NEW AGE. lues Ever Shown essy's Butte, Montana OUR POLITICAL PLOT. The large colored vote of Silver Bow county and the state at large recognizing the fact as almost an axiom that they locally are indebted to no special party for any past services or obligated to no one for any past intense fidelity to their interests, will support in this campaign regardless of party affiliation those who will best protect their interests. Every coteries of politicians, every segregated race whose influence is thrown to the victorious party are looked after when the smoke of battle has cleared away, when the cavalry has finished its charge at the polls, except the negro voter. Even the menial positions are denied him and in the distribution of patronage not one thought has been given him, and why? In the political arena he has been the exemplification of the axiom, "divided we fall," his vote has been nugatory as far as their political effect has been evinced. Today it is a source of much gratification to the New Age to be the means and the organ of perfecting a political organization and in cemeting the colored vote. It is only as a solid organization in each county where our members will justify, and by throwing our support in solid phalanx that we can be a tower of strength in the strenuous political battel which is coming. The recent meeting of the democratic state central committee at Helena is a vivid illustration of the logic of our position in organizing the colored vote of the state. A great technical point in the great fight was only decided by the close margin of a single vote. In the ensuing contest, with the vast interests arrayed the contest will be closed, the large colored vote in Silver Bow, Deer Lodge, Lewis and Clarke, Cascade, Choteau, should be important factors --- at every skirmish of the impending battle, and their votes used along the line, which we are suggesting, always in solid phalanx, can be productive of an immense amount of good and if the contests are close, as is our opinion they will be, can establish an influence and prestige politics in this state. Get aroused to the opportunity. Send in your name to the New Age and join the great organization. The negro must stand by his friends and be watchful of his interests. Their friends in this campaign should receive his united support—there are interests which are identical with his interests as a citizen of the state, which should receive his support. Think you it is more difficult for love, God, to speak to or to make plain "His" source unto the former than to the latter? Think you that God is tabooed in the former and favored in the latter? Ah no! The kingdom of Heaven cometh not by observation." "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you." The beautiful manifestations of soul ars not dependent upon the source of reason nor come at through the unregenerate mind particularly. The peace which reigns within the soul of him who has come into a realization of the simplicity of God, truth, love, is like unto the innocence of a babe. It has had no experience. BARBARITY VS. CIVILIZATION. By Nora E. Hullings Siegel. We hear of the barbary and heatheniness of the tribes of Western Africa. No praises have been sung of them; no beautiful poems written as has been of our North American Indians. I wonder why? Is it because they are so far beneath recognition along these lines? Is it because of the entire lack of response in the black man's heart which must exist in order to awaken rythmic expression within the poet's breast? No. I think these are not the reasons but because their first introduction to us was unfavorable to these. When we place ourselves under lasting obligations to another through-cruelty to him we are not apt speedily to turn about and sing his praises as is the case in our relation with the Negro. Doubtless were we to go among them in their so-called native wilds, with no knowledge of their unfortunate enslavement, go among them with thoughts only of good in our hearts towards them we would have many things to their credit and would then "sing a new song." Their native language is musical to the ear of the regenerate mind and surely beautiful sounds do not eminate from the souls of creatures whose thoughts are intensely animalistic, are cruel and entirely craven. I can not see that the cruelty of so-called barbarity is more terrible than that of civilization. I sincerely believe were the abjectress of both to be weighed on a balance, the scales would go down in condemnation to civilization. In lieu of the inexperience and innocence, love will favor the former. Being "as wise as a serpent and as harmless as a dove," can be made use of for good only in the regenerate mind. The chilcanery of civilization and the serpent-like wisdom are on a par with each other and remains a detriment to him who uses them without the refining power of love, and in the end makes toward blighting his soul. No lasting good may come to the person or nation who deals in such wisdom. "As you sow so shall you reap," can not be repeated too often. It must be kept in mind. Our negro does not inherit his bad points from his African forefathers, but prenatally from the suffering his mother was called upon to endure during slavery, before his birth. The wonder is that they are as universally good as they are. Had they not an unusual amount of innate love they would have developed fiends and cut throats without an exception, but because of the forebearance of the mother their spirits were not broken. Our civilization uncivilized is far more to be lamented, is farther from ideal love of which creation of formed than the uncivilization of barbarity. God-love is not illustrated so much in pomp as in simplicity. Not so much in show as in innocence. The careless simple faith in the child towards its mother bespeaks the wisdom of God-love more nearly than the trust of the sage towards his ideal. The child does not trust alone, it knows nothing of trust. Trust is a result come at by experience through the medium of reason. The child simply expects to be cared for by its mother and does not question her faithfulness. The child of nature, a so-called barbarian, is akin to the babe in his relation to God-love, truth. Uncivilized civilization! Where do you find it the better illustrated? In the simple hearted colored man who can not read, or in the intellectual, bigoted white man who has had all the advantages of culture and refinement, who does not scruple to take up arms against his brother in war, who does not question his right to use any means in his power in order to defraud his fellows in business relations? One is reserved in his "dove-like" harmlessness; the other preserved in his serpent-like wisdom. Think you it is more difficult for love, God, to speak to or to make plain "His" source unto the former than to the latter? Think you that God is tabooed in the former and favored in the latter? Ah no! The kingdom of Heaven cometh not by observation." "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you." The beautiful manifestations of soul ars not dependent upon the source of reason nor come at through the unregenerate mind particularly. The peace which reigns within the soul of him who has come into a reallization of the simplicity of God, truth, love, is like unto the innocence of a babe. It has had no experience. True, all things are of God, but all things vary in their relation to each other. Some are good, some better, some best and each judges from his own conception of what good, better, best consists. Beat, which is "Divine Principle," is inherent in all men, be he heathen or Christian, and the more simplicity he remains the nearer he is to true happiness. "Emerson" says "If you would be happy have few wants and them easily supplied." The child in pain knows less of fear than its parent and will receive healing by faith more readily than an elder. Just so with the innocent hearted, grown person, be he black or white. "Blessed are the poor in spirit (artfulness) for they shall see God." Do not judge this an argument in favor of illiterate ignorance. I am in no wise upholding such. I am simply sriving to make plain to you that God (good) is no farther away from our Negro, who has recently emerged from his native innocence, whom you have enslaved, than from the white man who pretends to worship "Him" through civilized intellects and methods. God, which means good, is not a person, but a condition, a principle of, by and from which all things evolve. The unregenerate, negative mind or condition, in striving after "Best" through the medium of reason mistakes the positive and comparative degree for the superlative, which is not attained by striving; not at all! The superlative is reached by peaceful, quiet means, or a better way of expressing it: After we have learned to be peaceful, quiet, we are in a better attitude to recognize the best, which is God. The unregenerate, negative mind is that portion of God that does not recognize the best, it must be born again, made whole or holy. It is that portion of Divine principle which represents sex. It is still male and female. If is the serpent, the lying mentality that tempts and deceives and declares to be wisdom, best, God, but knows, not these excent in part. The regenerate, holy mind is not sex, male and female, but is come up out of both and needeth not to declare itself for it is Best, God, Wisdom. Giving God the masculine gender is incorrect. God is both male and female. All there is. Therefore the pronoun it would best express God. The babe knows not sex, represents neither and is spoken of as it. The pure in heart who seeth no evil represents less of either sex than the crafty minded. Sex, miscalled love, is a poor representation of love. Love knoweth not sex. Love is the sublimated result of all things. Love is the creative principle; not the created manifestation. Love is knowledge begotten of faith and desire. The Silver Leaf Literary society has reorganized and will meet at Bethel Baptist church every Tuesday evening. The officers are as follows: C. C. Laws, chaplain; C. Rowan, vice president; Miss Mable Ross; sec'y. treasurer. Mrs. Ennis Bell; F. Armstrong, sargent-at-arms. All are invited to attend. Mrs. Jacobs was elected president but resigned, and wishes to thank the society for the honor conferred upon her. THE NEW AGE Leading race journal of Montana, Utah, Idaho and the Northwest.

The New Age, the political organ of the colored people of this state. If you are candidates for political nominations and desire to reach the colored vote of the countw or state, the New Age, the official organ of the colored people, extends its columns for your use. We make a specialty of cuts and political cards. We publish in this issue an article entitled "Civilization versus Barbarity," by Miss Nora E. Hulings Siegel of Denver, Colo. She has contributed several articles to the New Age for the benefit of our readers. We will in a near future publish another article with the writer's cut. Miss Siegel has taken a deep and personal interest in the New Age, and as above stated has furnished us with several well written subjects aside from this she is a scrivener of renown and possesses exceptionally fine talent. She is a composer of music and her songs and sheets are wending their way into the best concert halls in the land. OGDEN, UTAH. Mrs. Shackleford, of Denver, is visiting in the city. Mrs. Lewis left last Tuesday for her home in Cheyenne much delighted with her stay in Ogden. Mrs. Keese, of Pocatella, was in the city few days. She is in poor health. She left for home last Wednesday night. Mrs. N. L. Lawson of Birmingham, Alabama, who has been visiting her brother, Mr. Clarence Ernest, left Wednesday for home. King Solomon's lodge, A. F. A. M. met last Tuesday night with good attendance. There was several initiated into the mysteries of the order and a good interest was manifested throughout. W. D. Carter, W. M.; Mr. Blake, secretary. Rev. Hubbard, who departed this life last Sunday, has had charge of the mission here for several months. He was highly respected by both white and colored. There was a long turn out to his funeral, which showed how highly he was honored by the citizens of Ogden. The pastor of the First Methodist church, in Ogden, officiated. Mrs. Ruth Perry, Mrs. Tillman, Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Benjamin rendered sweet anthems that were very appropriate for the occasion. From Bro. Hubbards life among us we believe the following words would speak his sentiments: I never knew and still, dear Lord, As through a glass I see; A perfect light can only come, When I shall dwell with Thee. When in Thy likeness I awake For all eternity. SALT LAKE CITY. Miss Manie Perkins has entered the high school. Mr. S. Young was in Boise, Idaho, one day last week. Mr. L. Johnson went to Portland, Oregon, last week for a few days. Mr. Wm. Fosha left Wednesday night for Cinnabar and points in Mont tana. Mrs. Cora Britton dined with Mrs. E. D. Washington last Thursday af- ternoon. Mr. and Mrs. A. Thompson spent the day with Mrs. E. D. Washington last Sunday.

Wake (White) will preach at the Trinity A. M. E. church tomorrow morning at 11 a. m. The concert given by the Trinity A. M. E. church Wednesday night, proved quite a success. All subscribers be prepared for the representative will be around soon it takes money to oil the wheels. --- Attorney B. C. Smith and wife, of Kansas City, Kan., are in the city, staying at J. W. Washington's. Mrs. E. W. Jarett returned this week from Denver where she has been visiting relatives and friends. Mrs. E. Smith entertained a few of her friends last Wednesday night at her residence on Draper Avenue. Mrs. W. H. Barker was on the sick list a few days this week, but glad to say she is up and around again. Mr. Smith is in the city again after his extended trip through Oregon, Washington, Idaho, British Columbia, Wyoming and Illinois. Rev. A. Wagner, the conference missionary, left last Friday for Leadville, where he will attend conference that convened on the third of the month. The picnic given at "Lagoon" on the 30th inst, by Mrs. A. C. Caldway proved quite a success. There was a large crowd attended, with plenty of good things to eat. Pure water and fresh air, all that was necessary to make the day enjoyable. Mr. J. A. Cole, who has been chief cook at the Monida hotel, Monida, Montana, has returned to the city, accompanied by Mrs. Cole, who has been up there with him. Mrs. Goldie Ludlo left last Sunday, for Montana. She stopped over Monday in Butte to see the parade, from there she goes to Missoula. She is to be gone a week or ten days. Mrs. N. L. Lawson, of Birmingham, Alabama, who has seen visiting her brother, Mr. Clarence Ernst, in Ogden, stopped over one day in the city while en route home she was the guest of Mrs. W. H. Barker. Rev. B. F. McIntyre has been sent to Salt Lake for another year. His many friends welcome him with great joy and we believe he will be able to do more good this year than last. Not withstanding he took to conference the best report that ever went in from Salt Lake. Mrs. Samuel Bridgewater, who has been living at Fort Douglas, for the past five years, left last Wednesday for Fort Harrison in Montana, where she will join her husband, who has just returned from a three years' stay in the Philippine islands. He is with the "Twenty-Fourth," who are now stationed at Fort Harrison. Mrs. A. Thompson entertained Mrs. E. D. Washington last Sunday to luncheon. The repast was all that ex' experience and saving hands could make and to add to the enjoyment Mr. Thompson was there with his usual amount of wit, which proved to be an appetizer to all. Mr. Alfred and Robert Thompson have accepted positions with the Pullman company. They both worked for the company before and the new superintendent secured their names on the book, with a clear record opposite them. He sent for and hired them. The "Knights of the Wheels" are glad to welcome the Thompson brothers in their midst again. The change in the district superintendency of the Pullman company is making what some call a change in business all round. The main office has been moved from Ogden to Salt Lake City and they are hiring all the old porters they can find, whose record stands clear on the company's books. The present superintendent, Mr. H. L. Twining, is from Chattnooga, Tennessee. The Tri-City Oracle, the new journal that made its appearance to the public last Saturday, from its motto, found in the first editorial page, its object is to encourage thrift, economy and accumulations, combined with education, religion and morality among Afro-Americans. We heartily welcome any thing that is done or attempted for the betterment of the race, while we note with pleasure the good effort put forth in the first issue, we can not say that the reproduction of the "Times Speaker Article" meets every ones' approval. It seems to manifest a spirit of war, made on the other journal of the city. Mrs. Mary Edwards and Rev. McIntyre left last Monday night for Leadville, where they will attend conference. Bro. McIntyre has many warm friends in Salt Lake who will be delighted to have him sent another year. Rev. Wake,(White) of this city will preach at the Trinity A. M. E. church Sunday, Sept. 14th at 11 a. m. The Calvary Baptist church holds regular services every Sunday at 11 a. m. and at 2:30 p. m. Everybody cordially invited to attend. THE NEW AGE. The Trinity M. E. church closer their grand rally and their work for the conference year last Sunday night, and the heart of the pastor, B. F. McIntyre, and his faithful members were filled with joy to know that they send to conference this year the best report that was ever sent in from Salt Lake. They report two conversions, several added to the church and a membership of about thirty, and raised during the year about sixteen hundred dollars, which is more than grand, considering the condition of things and the obstacles to be surmounted when Bro. McIntyre came to the city. Mrs. J. C. Davis of Alviso, was in the city Tuesday. Rev. Snelson, D. D. F. R. G. S., left for conference Monday with a $163.00 money report. Miss Hattie Welch, of Los Angeles, is in the city on a visit to Mrs. S. Parker, 1013 Cherry street. Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Thompson entertained at dinner Sunday in honor of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Roland. Mr. and Mrs. Gross, Mrs. Gross and niece of Seattle are visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Oxendine. Bishop Arnett will preach Sunday at the Fifteenth street church. He will also deliver a lecture on Monday. The corner stone of the new A. M. E. church, at Vallejo, was laid August 24, by Rev. G. H. W. Smith, presiding elder; Bynum, Samuel Shirt ridge and Thomas Person, of Oakland. The indictment on the twenty-eighth court, found by the federal grand jury against William H. Dill'eighth courts, found by the federal internal revenue office, who is accused of issuing fraudulent Chinese certificates of residence, has been forwarded to the United States marshal of Seattle, where the prisoner is held. It is a lengthy indictment comprising 140 typewritten pages, 37,600 words. Marshall Shine expects to have Dillard in San Francisco Saturday. Spokane, Wash., Sept. 12, 1902. Miss Helen Stafford and Mrs. Jerry Flowers have gone to Seattle for a few days. Mr. Artie Coleman and Miss Martha Floyd were married on Tuesday, the 2d, at the residence of Mr. Charles Ryan. Miss Isabel Harris and Miss Bertha Porter gave a picnic at Natatorium park Tuesday afternoon in honor of Miss Wright. The Odd Fellows gave an entertainment at Oliver Hall on Tuesday evening, though not so largely attend' ed it was a success financially. Rev. and Mrs. Payne have returned from the A. M. E. conference. Rev. Payne has been reappointed to this church for the ensuing year. Miss Candance Parker gave an afternoon tea Wednesday afternoon in honor of Miss Louise Wright, who expects to leave for Helena soon to reside. In our last letter we made an error in regard to the marriage of Miss Nellie Sparrow and Mr. C. Herron. The wedding took place at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. Black, and not at Mrs. Whitney's, as we understood. "Tad" Lincoln has long been numbered among the historic boys of America. He was the complete embodiment of animal spirits, a warm hearted, fresh faced youngster, a boisterous, rollicking and absolutely real boy, whose pranks and companionship did much to relieve the tremendous strain his father suffered under while in the White House. "Thousands who never saw the home apartments of that gloomy building" writes Noah Brooks, "knew the tricky sprite that brightened the weary years which Lincoln passed in Washington. His father took great interest in everything that concerned 'Tad,' and when the long day's work was done and the little chap had related to the president all that had moved him or had taken up his attention during the daylight hours and had finally fallen asleep under a drowsy cross examination the weary father would turn once more to his desk and work on into the night. Then, shouldering the sleeping child, the man for whom millions of good men and women nightly prayed took his way through the silent corridors and passageways to his boy's bedchamber." This grateful glimpse of the man who bore the sorrows of the nation in his own heart could ill be spared from any account of Lincoln's life in the White House. "Tad" Lincoln did not long survive his father. His death occurred in July, 1871.-Success. SAN FRANCISCO SPOKANE NOTES. Special to the New Age: "Tad" Lincoln. AT THE SULTAN'S COUCH The sultan rolled over on his couch of silk. As he faced his anxious attendants the glare in his eyes made them fall back as though he had struck them with the scimitar which always lay within his reach. "Allah sent you all as a plague!" he said fiercely. "Here have I lain three mortal hours, and sleep comes not near mine eyes. Higher with the lights, fools! Can a man rest with shadows hanging over him?" The lights shone more brilliantly while the ruler's eyes searched jealousy in every corner. Suddenly he sat up. "Fetch me that Christian page who was brought to the palace yesterday. I weary of the eternal sameness of your faces!" The grand vizier, whose life was imbittered beyond words by his master's liking for his presence, went himself to seek the boy, wondering as he went how much longer he could attend to affairs of state if he was expected to keep awake all night as well. A velvet footed eunuch brought him quickly to the page's side. The boy slept peacefully, although the tears he shed in praying over the little cottage he called home were scarcely dry on his cheeks. The vizier woke him, not ungently. Sooth to say, he felt some pity for this blue ceded lad, and, moved by a kindly impulse, he helped the page to dress and took his hand as they hurried through the long, dimly lighted corridors. The sultan still sat up, clutching his covering around him and reminding the vizier most unpleasantly of a sullen wild boar in his lair, solitary, miserable, but infinitely dangerous. The vizier shivered inwardly as he presented the page. "Leave the boy alone with me!" growled his master. "Are you paralyzed, you sons of idiocy, that you do not move when I speak?" This last sentence cleared the room instantly, although the sultan had never been so nearly alone before. His two gigantic guards, who slept at the foot of his bed, went last, their naked scimiters gleaming in their hands. The door closed noiselessly. The page knelt quietly near the center of the room, the light from the swinging lamps full upon him. His eyes were resting undisturbedly on the sultan. "Rise and come here!" growled the ruler hoarsely. The page rose, and, to the sultan's astonishment, he walked confidently to the couch and, seating himself on it, passed his slim, cool fingers over the ruler's brow. "How very hot and uncomfortable you are?" he said thoughtfully. "You've almost got a fever, but your face is worst of all." "What's the matter with my face?" demanded the sultan, considerably taken aback. "It's quite wrinkled with trouble, just like father's is before mother smooths it away for him. This is the way she does it." He was so small and the mighty ruler so large that he had to kneel on the coverings to reach his master's forehead, but his touch produced a remarkable effect. The sultan sank on his pillows and lay quite still for nearly fifteen minutes, while the stroking went on. Outside the door knelt the grand vizier, looking carefully through the keyhole, too amazed to report the result of his observations to the officers behind him. "What makes you think trouble put those lines in my face?" asked the sultan. "I don't know how I know it," said the page perplexedly, "but I do. You see, when they took me away from mother and brought me to the -palace I thought you would be just perfectly happy. But you look like the old rug-maker near us did when the soldiers broke his loom to pieces." The sultan grinned, his lip curling upward, after the fashion of a wolf. "Would that my vizier could hear the pay compliments! But my loom is not broken, and woe unto those who attempt it! Thou seest the splendor of my palace?" "You have more things than any one could count," said the page reflectively. "What a good time your boys must have!" The sultan scowled. His heir apparent was in the depths of a toad infested dungeon, while his other sons trembled daily for their heads. "I don't talk of them," he muttered. "Ungrateful hounds they are!" Then he added hastily, by way of changing the subject: "Your infelst sect clings to its holes, which it calls homes. Therefore, I suppose, your mother shrieked and screamed when they bought you away." Two round, hot tears splashed down from the page's eyes upon his master's beard. The vizier distinctly saw them gleam in the light, though he could catch no word of the conversation. He looked to see the audacious boy's head neatly swept off with the curved scimitar, but the sultan merely lay still. "She never screams," said the page quietly. "She told me it was God's will I should come here, else you could not have taken me. She said I would find people here more unhappy than she or I could ever be, and I must t-try f-f-for her sake to be good to them. I think I would better not talk of her, though.

"You can't sleep while they are burning." He was so quick in his movement that only a frantic lunge on the sultan's part enabled the latter to catch him while he was still in reach. Drawn roughly back, the page faced around and saw that beads of cold sweat stood out on the sultan's forehead; that he was ghastly white with terror. "May the powers of evil consume thee!" he cried sharply to the boy. "Let the lamps alone! Don't you know, you Christian fool, that as soon as the dark flows round me it lays in wait for me and comes creeping nearer and nearer? Its face is broken and bloody, and its eyes are filmy. But the arms—the arms are so strong! They want to close round my throat closer and closer. They want to strangle me. Ah, I see Its shadow now!" The sultan's breath came in hose gasps. His eyes were big with horror. The page stood by him manfully, though he was woefully scared himself. "How c-ccould anything pass the guards?" he stuttered, unable to keep all anxiety out of his voice. "Guards!" hissed the sultan. "Who trusts the guards? Look at the Christian rulers, whose followers profess such milky doctrines of gentleness. How do they rest? But if Allah sent me power to know my true servants, to read their souls like a mirror, that would not save me from It. Through them It comes, and they cannot see It. My father died of It, died with no mark on him, and his father before him. Nothing but light keeps It away. I have not been in the accursed dark for twenty years." "Oh!" said the page, with considerable relief in his voice. "I know what you mean now. Mother told me all about it." He quietly pushed his master back on the pillows, and while the sultan stared at him in open mouthed amazement he went on with absolute confidence: "You see, it's fear you are afraid of. Fear stays in all kinds of places, and sometimes it looks like one thing and sometimes like another, according to the person. And it can come anywhere it likes." according to me anywhere d the sultan. Fair Visitor—Oh, what a pity! But isn't he sweet, though? Jaller—Yes, ma'am. He's too sweet to live.—Chicago News. "Thou hast it" muttered the sultan. Diamonds a Specialty "A weight grows on my lids." listening gravely to the clear, childish voice. "And it's a mistake to think light can always keep it away." "So it is. How knewest thou that? By the beard of the prophet, even in the daylight I have seen"— The page interrupted him with a calm unconsciousness which would have paralyzed the vizier. "There's only one thing can keep it away, and that is"— "What? May Allah speak through thee!" "And that's just to believe it isn't there. You mustn't shake your head. I've tried it, and I know. As soon as you believe there's nothing to trouble you the thing just shrivers up and goes away. It can never come back until you choose to believe in it again." The sultan's hand, red with the blood of his fellow beings, lay lightly on the page's arm. 'The sultan's tiger eyes, which had seen unmoved deeds which could blacken the infernal regions, looked as gently at the page as his own mother could have done. "You may lower the lamps," said the ruler softly. And he did not wince as the first darkness he had known for twenty years cast its healing shadows around his couch. The page crept up beside him and shared his pillow. They talked no longer. Outside in the passage the vizier rubbed his heavy lashes, astounded, and whispered eloquently with the guards. But the page heard only the peaceful breathing of his bed-fellow. The sultan slept. A Vetim of Dracunan law Father (who has caught Patrick stealing)—I thought you knew better than to commit a theft.

She, hap- pily conscious of her new blue ribbons and pink cheeks, bad beamed upon him, dancing bis heart quite out of him and himself into the brave resolve to speak of his love on the homeward rive, for, although Joel had “kept company” with Susannah for six months, he had always lacked the courage to “ask her” point blank. Now, Ed Sparks, on the other hand, lacked not the courage, but rather had ‘Pressed his suit, even when Susannah had clearly snubbed him. Perhaps it ‘was done only to nettle the hesitating Joel; perhaps Susannah was really impressed by Ed's brand new suit of store clothes, scarlet tie and glittering euff buttons and studs. At any rate, when the dancing was done and the big dining room was thrown open it was Ed Sparks who stepped quickly forward and “handed” Susannah to the delectable feast, and it was Ed Sparks who filled her glass with Aunt Marey Johnson's best blackberry wine when the health of host and hostess was drunk, And all the while Joel Herrick, his heart eaten out with jeal- ousy, tried to look gay as he served an. other and less favored damsel. After supper goodbys were said, the stone bottles were filled with hot water in anticipation of long rides through the cold night, the women bundled each other up in tippet and shawl, while the men harnessed the horses. To be sure, Joel had but one horse to harness, yet the crafty Bd Managed to reach the house door first with his prancing young horses and a new, fancy sleigh. Susannah gave one swift glance from Ed's dashing turn. out to staid Bay Charley and the old fashioned cutter. Vaguely she heard a chorus of feminine “ob’s" and “ah’s,” and Jocl’s fate was sealed. She sprang into Ed’s sleigh, the envy o! every other girl on the great porch, All this furnished anything but Pleasant thoughts for Joel as he drove home alone, and when he realized that at this moment Ed's arm might be encircling the slender waist of Susan- nah he fairly groaned in spirit. Per- haps the bold fellow might even dare to kiss her. Joel grasped his whip tightly, and Bay Charley sprang for. ward In surprise. Two miles had been covered, and he reached a point where the road wound through a patch of woodland. The trees stood gnunt, strange and black against the dazzling snow. Now and then a branch snapped with the cold. sounding like the report of a pistol om the still moonlight. Joel commenced to whistle from sheer loneliness. Ther suddenly the sound died on bis lips In astonishment he saw a woman walk ing toward him, Nearer and neare they came together. More and mor familiar beeame the outlines of tha femiuine figure. As he slowed up ii shrank back against a tree. “Why, Susannah!” “Oh, Joel, I'm so glad It's you!” ‘There were tears in her voice. Bu Joel remembered the slights, th humiliation recently put upon him, ane hardened his heart and his voice. “Well, Miss Peters, if you are goin home alone I shall be pleased to tak you under my care.” His tone was not inviting. but th | shivering Susannah quickly climbed t his side. Joel touched up Bay Charley but for some time remained silent Now and then he glanced at the littl figure crouched at his side, shakin with sobs and cold together.

The horses would soon run themselves out, and the road before them was clear, But, alas, just as he turned into the j town a sudden obstacle appeared in thelr track—Farmer Schneider's big sleigh, laden with the rosy cheeked Mrs. Schneider and three equally rosy daughters: At Ed's warning shout Schneider drew bis placid white mare to one side, but the flying team caught the rear of Schneider's sleigh, and a chorus of feminine shricks was waft- ed to the fleeing Ed. The drift was deep, and the five Schneiders, when Aisentangied, found themselves unin: fured, but nevertheless wrathful at tthe reckless driver. In the meantime Ed had reached the center of the town, and his horses, ex- ‘hausted and steaming, finally respond- ed to the rein. With a feeling of in- tense relief Ed turned to his compan. fon. Consternation seized him, Where was Susannah? Caught in the mael strom of Schneiders? No, his cutter had not been injured in the collision. He remembered with horror that she had not spoken since the horses first began their mad run, What if she had | been back there in the woods all this time, frozen, perhaps attacked by | tramps?

There is a petition being carried around this week by some of our energetic citizens, and its purpose is to have the Inter Mountain cease belittling and ridiculing the colored people in a way of using negro dialect—the petition will be acted upon by a body of colored citizens and will later be published. This method we hope will have the desired effect upon our afternoon contemporary and hereafter they will give credit to whom credit is due, and honor to the man or woman who conduct themselves in a manner to demand the respect of a community. --- Among the events of interest and worthy of not was an entertainment given by Mrs. J. I. Jacobs in honor of Mrs. Falkerson of Helena, Sunday evening of the 31st of August. There was several guests of a very lively nature present and the evening was spent in an all round pleasant time. Among those present were Mrs. B. J. Falkerson, of Helena; Mrs. W. M. Birthright, Mrs. Nelson, Mrs. M. E. Davis, Miss Nelson and Messrs. Lair, Dorsey, Smith, Jacobs and Duncan. A few bottles of the sparkling spirits was opened and the reporter failed to notice as to whether anyone failed to take their portion of the beverage ice cream and cake was provided for the repast. This article should have appeared in our last issue, but through an oversight of our printer, it was set aside among the other news that we carried over. Mrs. Falkerson, the guest of honor, left on the following morning for Helena. THE CARNAHUBA PALM It Is Called the Most Marvelous Tree In the World. Undoubtedly the most marvelous tree in the world grows in Brazil. It is the carnahuba palm and can be employed for many useful purposes. Its roots produce the same medicinal effect as sarsaparilla. Its stems afford strong, ligh fibers, which acquire a beautiful luster and serve also for joists, rafters and other building materials as well as for stakes for fences. From parts of the tree wines and vinegar are made. It yields also a saccharine substance as well as a starch resembling sago. Its fruit is used for feeding cattle. The pulp has an agreeable taste, and the nut, which is oleaginous and emulsive, is sometimes used as a substitute for coffee. Of the wood of the stem musical instruments, water tubes and pumps are made. The pith is an excellent substitute for cork. From the stem a white liquid similar to the milk of the coconut and a flour resembling maizena may be extracted. Of the straw, hats, baskets, brooms and mats are made. A considerable quantity of this straw is shipped to Europe, and a part of it returns to Brazil manufactured into hats. The straw is also used for tatching houses. Moreover, salt is extracted from it and likewise an alkali used in the manufacture of common soap. Rings and Rheumatism. Sufferers from rheumatism who believe that they will be cured of their aches through wearing a certain kind of metal ring would be surprised perhaps to hear that they are keeping alive an old superstition that owed its origin to one of the ceremonies performed on Good Friday. The ceremony was called the blessing of the cramp rings and was carried out by the king himself, who went into his private chapel, accompanied only by his great almoner, crawled on his knees to the crucifix and there blessed a silver bowl full of gold and silver rings. These rings were afterward distributed to people who were afflicted with rheumatism or epilepsy. The idea is supposed to have originated in a certain ring given by a pilgrim to Edward the Confessor, which was kept in Westminster abbey and used as a cure for such illls—London Chronicle. The Hairspring. The hairspring of a watch is a strip of the finest steel about $ \frac{9}{12} $ inches long and .01 inch wide and .0027 inch thick. It is coiled up in spiral form and finely tempered. The process of tempering these springs was long held as a secret by the few fortunate ones possessing it, and even now it is not generally known. Their manufacture requires great skill and care. The strip is gauged to the .020 of an inch, but no measuring instrument has yet been devised capable of fine enough gauging to determine beforehand by the size of the strip what the strength of the finished spring will be. A twenty-thousandth part of an inch difference in the thickness of the strip makes a difference in the running of a watch of about six minutes per hour. Miniature Holland The striking thing about Holland is that everything except the old parish churches, the town halls, the dikes and the trees is in miniature. The cities are not wide, and one can go from the most northern point in the country to the most southern or from the extreme west to the extreme east in a single day and, if it be a summer day, in daylight, while from the top of the tower of the cathedral at Utrecht one can look over a large part of the country. The Hague and Rotterdam are only sixteen miles apart and The Hague and Amsterdam only forty miles. Arnhem and The Hague are the two most cosmopolitan cities in the kingdom, and one meets in the streets all sorts and conditions of Netherlands.—Boston Transcript. Brass and Bronze. Brass and bronze are two alloys of copper. The first is composed of copper and zinc, the latter of copper and tin. Both historically and scientifically these two compound metals are of greater interest than almost any others. Copper was one of the first metals discovered, extracted and utilized in the earliest periods of our history, and antiquaries are accustomed to speak of a "bronze age" to express that interval of time during which this metal formed many of the implements used for industrial purposes and in warfare. Advice. "Advice," said Uncle Eben, "is like mos' everything else. If it's any good, you doesn't have to give it away. You can ginerly sell it." - Washinburg, Star THE NEW AGE. "Here yare, gents, only 10 cents aplce! The art of the world, gentlemen, for 10 cents aplce. Genuine pictures by the most famous French masters for the small sum of one dime, 10 cents. Step right up now before the limited supply is exhausted." Copyright, 1992, by the S. S. McClure Company Prisella Gardner, driving down Treemont street in her private hansom-poked her umbrella through the trap in the roof. "James," she called, "drive slowly past that man who is selling photographs. Drive as slowly as you can, and drive close to the crowd." In a moment the hansom had wheeled and was retracing its route past the street corner, where a muscular looking young fellow was handing out unmounted photographs as rapidly as he could make change. Miss Gardner leaned on the apron of the hansom and eagerly scrutinized the face as the cab slowly passed, but there was no interruption in the patter that helped dispose of his wares. "Here you are," he said as he passed over a photograph and pocketed a ten cent piece; "Diana for a dime, and cheap at the price. No extra charge for Venuses or Psyches; one dime, 10 cents. Step up, gentlemen, and take your pick." The cab had passed out of hearing now, and Miss Gardner sank back on her cushions. There was a vexed expression on her pretty face as she murmured. "How can grown up men be so silly!" That evening at 7 Gerald Corsey, immaculate in evening dress, presented himself at the Gardner residence, where he was received by Priscilla and her father, the Hon. John Alden Gardner. The girl's eyes were dapcing as she gave him her hand, but her "Good evening!" was in the demurst of voices. Perhaps she was in awe of the Honorable John. Gerald stood rather in awe of the gentleman himself. The latter was more polite than cordial. "I am very sorry that an important business engagement prevents my making one of the opera party tonight, but my sister, Miss Gardner, will take good care of Priscilla, and I will probably drop in later and see you all safely home." Gerald wondered in what capacity he was going, since Miss Gardner was considered so woefully in need of a protector. Half an hour later the Gardner carriage drew up before the opera house. 40 "TO BE PERFECTLY FRANK WITH YOU, I NEEDED THE MONEY." It had been a most uncomfortable ride for Corsey. The older Miss Gardner had a bad cold and was afraid to talk. Priscilla was in a maddening mood—so superior and dignified, with a new touch of condescension in her voice. Could she have heard anything? A hot flush rose to the man's forehead. And what was she humming now—"Oh. What a Difference In the Morning?" Decidedly she had heard. He could not see how her eyes were still dancing, and he leaned back in his corner savage and miserable. At the opera the ladies, like true Bostonians, devoted themselves strictly to the performance. Gerald tried to follow their example, but his eyes wandered back to the study of Priscilla's pure, clear cut profile. She was radiantly beautiful tonight, with yet that new touch of superiority that seemed to place her far beyond his reach. Why had he ever dreamed that she was different from most girls and cared nothing for mere appearances? He had been mistaken—she, too, set up money for a god. Priscilla's half laughing, half tronial, saliilles died away under the influence of his moodiness. It was a relief to them both when Mr. Gardner appeared on the scene. He insisted on Corsey's going home to supper with them. At the table the two men talked Harvard. Priscilla listened quietly. As she noted how strange and constrained Corsey's manner was she came to a sudden determination. The conversation had drifted to the subject of club initiations, when she broke in eagerly. "I think," she said, "that I saw a noviate undergoing his ordeal this morning. There was a man selling photographs on Tremont street in front of the Common, and he didn't look a bit like the ordinary street peddler." Corsey stared at her in amazement. So this was what she had thought But what would she think when she knew the truth? His voice was very grave as he said, "So you saw me?" "Yes, and I have begun to think that you did not like my seeing you." Corsey flushed slightly. The Honorable John was looking interested. "What society did you Join, Mr. Corsey?" The younger man squared his shoulders. "To be perfectly frank with you, it was not an initiation; it was just that I needed the money." Priscilla gave a little exclamation and stared down at the bunch of violets that he had sent her that afternoon. They must have cost—oh, so much! And he had needed the money! The look that she turned on Corsey was different from any that she had vouchsafed him that evening. Perhaps it gave him courage to face the Honorable John. "You did not give me to understand that you were trying to work your way through college when—when we had our little talk," Mr. Gardner said coldly. The flush on Corsey's cheek deepened. "When I induced dad," he said, "to let me come to Harvard, where he had graduated, instead of going to some western college, he objected because he said he couldn't keep an eye on me. In the end he withdrew his objection on my promising that during the four years I would neither borrow money nor get anything on credit. You see, his college chum committed suicide in his senior year because his father had failed in business and he could not pay back large sums of money he had borrowed. "Having made the promise, I was bound to live up to it. My remittance, which was due the day before yesterday, did not come. When you so kindly invited me to join your party this evening, I telegraphed for money and was notified that all the wires were down in that section of the country. I simply had to have the money, and to resort to a pawnshop would have seemed like evading my promise. "A cousin of mine who is traveling in Europe had just sent me 150 photographs of the sort popularly thought to be most in demand in a student's room. I kept twenty-five or thirty of the best and sold out the rest at 10 cents apiece. I made $12.60, and that is why Miss Priscilla had her violets as usual. I might have passed it off as an initiation, but I don't want to sail under false colors." He ended almost defiantly and was surprised when the Honorable John reached across the table and shook him heartily by the hand. "Well, done, my boy!" he cried. "I wish I had a son like you." And Priscilla—why, Priscilla's eyes were shining with what looked suspiciously like tears. When she had said "good night" and Corsey had held her hand for one long, delicious moment, the two men sat smoking quietly in the firelight. The Honorable John at length broke the silence. "Some time ago, Mr. Corsey," he said, "you asked my daughter's hand in marriage, and I said I must have time to think it over. I must confess that I did not see the matter in a very favorable light at first, but tonight I have changed my mind. You can have Priscilla—that is, if she will have you." And Corsey knew that he had passed And Corsey knew that he had passed his initiation. Brave Manxmen One afternoon in October, 1880, a Norwegian ship in a fearful tempest was drifting upon Contrary head, on the west coast of the Isle of Man, a perilous place for ships. All Peel was down at the beach watching her. The lifeboat was got out, and there were so many volunteers that the harbor master had no difficulty in selecting a crew. The Norwegian had lost her masts, and the spars were floating around so that she was dangerous to approach, but the lifeboat reached her. "How many of you?" cried the cocksswain to the Norwegian captain. "Twenty-two." The cockswain counted them as they hung on the ship's side and said: "I only see twenty-one. Not a man shall leave the ship until you bring the odd one on deck." The odd one, a disabled man, had been left below to his fate. He was brought up, and all were taken aboard the lifeboat and safely landed on the beach. The Norwegian government struck medals for the lifeboat men and sent them to the governor of the island for distribution. The English and French Oration. With us hearing orations is a serious, dreary business; to the Frenchman it is an artistic pleasure and a holiday function, even though it be at the graveside or in the throes of a revolution. Fine language, whether in a speech or book, he welcomes as an aesthetic luxury and emotional stimulant, the fineness being of course proportioned to his degree of cultivation, for academicians have been found to own that some phrases, highly effective in their day, are only vulgar fustian. He views the eloquence of the rostrum much as we do that of the stage—as a professional art, whereof he is a sharp and enthusiastic critic. Truth, cold versatility, naked fact, prosaic reason, are not what he seeks, but inspiring themes clothed in grand words.—London Academy. There was a Bavarian prince who was so entirely accustomed to being continually waylaid and followed about by his admirers that once, on coming out of the Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady), feeling himself held back by the cloak, he turned abruptly round and angrily exclaimed, "This is really not the place," before he saw, to his relief, that it was only his cloak which had hitched in passing on a nail. Nothing better illustrates the dullness of society in the middle ages than the custom used by all high placed and wealthy persons of keeping a professional jester, nor was it confined to Christendom, for we read that Cortes found an individual of this profession at the court of Montezuma. Our modern clowns, though very different from the licensed jesters of old, owe to them, of course, their origin; but, so far as I know, the female jester, who was in vogue before the male, has no present representative. We are told by Erasmus that in all the great inns on the continent there was in his time a female official of this description who enlivened the company as she waited at table by wittelsma and repartee. It should be added, however, that she was generally young and pretty. So late as ISS we read in Mrs. Hornby's "Travels" that she found a female jester at Constantinople who was exceedingly amusing. Animals That Do Not Drink Darwin states in his "Voyage of a Naturalist" that unless the guanacos, or wild liamus, of Patagonia drink salt water in many localities they must drink none at all. The large and interesting group of sloths are alike in never drinking. A parrot is said to have lived in the zoological gardens. Regent park, for fifty-two years without a drop of water. Geology and Biology. Geology is the complement of biology. As soon as one has mastered the rudiments of botany and zoology and of the distribution of life forms in space the range of his thoughts should be extended to take in the orderly succession of life in past ages and the evolution of modern specialized plants and animals from the earlier generalized types.
