WOMAN LEAVES VAST FORTUNE TO COLORED SCHOOLS; KIN WOULD BREAK WILL $2.00 a Year 5c a Copy WOMEN OF TEXAS TAKE FIRM STAND AGAINST LYNCHING Influential Comm. Us Organized to Promote the App. of Chri- stian Principal Race Relations ADVOCATE SINGLE S. DARD Demand Protection for Womanhood of Both Races, Better Schools and Home Surroundings for All Children. Dallas, Tex. April 28.—(Special.)—Declaring that "lynching is the black spot on American's soul," that "we have no security unless the law protects us," and that "law and order must be maintained at all costs," leading women from all parts of Texas met in Dallas a few days ago and organized for the purpose of seeking a Christian solution of the tangle problem of race relations. Mrs. Jessie Daniel Ames of Georgetown was elected chairman and Mrs. S. Turner of Dallas, secretary. The membership committee embraces representatives of the principal civic and religious organizations of the state. A strong address was drafted and given to the public, recognizing the condition of the Negro in the South as a community problem affecting the welfare of both races and demanding for its solution the application of the principles of humanity and justice. An appeal was made for the rights of every child to a reasonable chance in life and for a single standard of morality that will protect the womanhood of all races. The women's committee will function as a section of the Texas Committee on Inter-Racial Co-operation, the purpose of which is to organize in every community where race relations constitute a serious problem a group of the best people to study local conditions and needs and deal with them intelligently and in a Christian spirit. Dr. J. C. Hardy is chairman of the State Committee. The Address Adopted by the Women Follows in Full "We, the members of the Woman's section of the Texas State Committee on Inter-Racial Co-operation, find ourselves overwhelmed with the opportunity and the corresponding responsibility which we this day face in sharing the task of bringing about better conditions and relations in the South between the white and Negro races. * * * We deplore the fact that the relations for the past fifty years have been such as to separate the two races through a lack of understanding on the part of both. We know that ignorance takes its toll in crime and inefficiency, that disease and death are no respecters of persons, but that they sweep across the boulevards from the places of equalor and insanitary living to the best kept and most protected homes. We know also that crime is not segregated and that its results are felt alike by all classes. "We are persuaded that our native Southland can never reach its highest destiny while any part of its people are ignorant, underfed and inefficient. Therefore, together we must meet our task and seek to bring in a new day of better understanding. To this end we call attention to some of the underlying causes of present day ills: PREJUDICE. "Recognizing the universal existence of prejudice among people of different races, and deploring its existence and its consequent unjust results, we therefore are resolved that the Negro should have a hearing in his own behalf, and further resolve that we shall not be content simply with being kindly disposed to the race, but that our good will shall reach to the effort to secure for all its members justice in all things and opportunities for living the best life. We desire for the Negro, as for all men, personal and racial justice in private life and in the courts of the land. WOMANHOOD. "Realizing the great increase of mulattoes and knowing full well that no race can rise above its womanhood, We appeal for the protection of the chastity of the Negro woman and declare ourselves for the single standard of morality among this race as well as among our own. CHILDHOOD. "Recognizing the right of every American child to be not only well born, but to be given the opportunity for developing his life to its fullest possibility, we desire for the Negro child better homes, better schools and better Christian training. LYNCHING. "Lynching is the black spot on America's soul. So long as America holds the record for its illegal taking of life, so long as the headlines of foreign papers carry in large letters, "America THE MONITOR burns another Negro," just so long will her shame be world-wide. We have no security unless the law protects us. Mob violence knows no law. As women, as mothers of men, we protest. We condemn every violation of law in the taking of life, no matter what the crime. "We declare ourselves for law and order at all costs. The public has a right to prompt and certain justice and should demand such of officials and courts. We believe that America should not permit ignorance and prejudice to be capitalized. In common with the great and honored Henry W. Grady, of our own Southland, we say, 'Not in passion, my countrymen, but in reason, not in narrowness but in breadth, may we solve this problem in calmness and in truth, and lifting its shadows, let perpetual sunshine pour down on two races walking together in peace and contentment.' PUBLISHER OF BALTIMORE AERO-AMERICAN BURIED Baltimore, Md., April 28.—Lying in state for three hours previous to the funeral ceremony, the funeral of John H. Murphy, Sr., renowned journalist and publisher and chief owner of the Baltimore Afro-American, was borne in state to the Mt. Auburn cemetery here Saturday morning. April 8th. Mr. Murphy was eighty-one years old and connected with many fraternal organizations, and was Imperial Potentate of the Shriners. He purchased the Afro-American in 1896, and for twenty-six years published the same. He was born in this city in 1841, and was a veteran of the Civil War, answering Lincoln's call for colored Union troops. AFRICAN FIGURE IS MOST BEAUTIFUL IN THE WHOLE WORLD Surprising Statement Sponsored by the Curator of United States Government's Famous Smithsonian Institute. HAS MANY NOTABLE STATUES Seventeen African Sculptures Now in Possession of United States Said to Be Enviied by Paris and London. Washington, D. C., April 7.—"The African figure is the most beautiful in the world," declared Dr. Walter Hough, white, Curator of the Government's Smithsonian Institute, which has just put on exhibition seventeen African figures. The sculptures are the gift of the late Herbert Ward, white, who spent five years in the "Congo" with Stanley, "the Great Explorer", 1884-1889. They were presented by the widow of the dead sculptor recently and accepted on behalf of the nation by Vice-President Calvin Coolidge. Some of the seventeen figures have won first prizes in exhibitions abroad and London and Paris are both envious because the collection has finally become the possession of America. The works include: "A Bakongo Girl", "a Mask of a Negro Girl" and "Mask of a Negro Man", work of 1901; "The Charm Doctor", a fantastic figure representing a sorcerer or charm doctor performing an incantation; "Sleeping Africa", the recumbent figure of a woman in an outline of Africa typifying the Dark Continent, two productions of 1902. "The Fugitives", a mother, babe and small child fleeing from slave hunter;s; "A Congo Boy", a head used as a study for one of the other compositions; "The Fugitives", made in 1904; "The Forest Lovers", 1904, representing African natives of the Bantu stock, which furnished most of the slaves brought to America. Others are "The Wood Carrier", a Senegal girl in half life size, of 1905; "The Idol Maker", a heroic bronze representing a native carving a wooden fetish image, and a very beautiful "Crouching Woman", both of 1906, with a "Fragment", a small bronze; "The Chief of the Tribe", in which heroic bronze Mr. Ward symbolized the weight of primitive government, 1908; "Defiance", 1909; "A Congo Artist", 1910, typifying the rude beginning of art; "The Fire Maker", 1911, a man making fire by the primitive wood friction method, "Distress", 1912, a heroic figure produced at the height of the sculptor's creative power and his last work.

The Omaha schools rank high not only in scholastic work but also in athletics and in both scholarship and athletics the colored students occupy a prominent place. In all interscholastic athletic events a large proportion of the honors have been won for their respective schools by these lusty, well-trained, quick-witted American youth of color. The names of Rountree, Roulette, Singleton, Kelly, South, to mention only a few of former school champions in various sports, stand high in sport annals. And their successors are keeping up the record. Central High's particular football and track team star is Ledru Galloway; while Martin Thomas, Weldon Solomon, William Taylor, Worthington Williams and others are giving good account of themselves.

OMAHA MUSICIANS ARE PROGRESSIVE AND QUITE POPULAR OMAHA MUSICIANS ARE PROGRESSIVE AND QUITE POPULAR Most Famous Band in State Is Com posed of, Directed and Managed by Members of Race and Accounted Asset of City. THEIR PROGRESS IS MARKED Successful Teachers, Composers and Players,—Fifth Commercial Club Article on Activities of Omaha's (By J. H. Pinkett) With the dawn of creation came music. Before man was fashioned the birds were singing, and before them God in his heaven heard the sweet strains, always. When man was made he but echoed what had always been. He learned the "concord of sweet sounds," and how to produce it on myriad instruments and with the human voice. The black harpists of Babylon and Egypt and the "golden choirs" made music rivalling any modern age or art. Music in the centuries that have come and gone has been more varied, but the quality has changed but little. This is the one universal language, it knows no limitations of time, country or race; it is known in palace and hovel, by bond and free; it finds its richest expressions, many times among the lowly of earth; money cannot buy it nor poverty banish it—it is an unversal gift of God Himself. And somehow, in every country and age, oppression and sorrow and woe, gave to the oppressed and lowly this gift in fullest measure. The music, therefore, of every age and country has come from the humble rather than the great. In America the only music we have that is truly American the Negroes of America have given. In came, perhaps, from their sorrows in the unhappy days gone by. The task remains to take this rich gift and place it where it was once enshrined when the world was young; when the great choirs sang to ISIS and OSIRIS at the source of the mystic Nile. Among the Colored people in America the singing of the slaves upon the plantations in the South was the wonder and the admiration of European travelers many centuries ago. Even then there had been developed, on French soil, however, noted pianists and violinists. The Fiske Jubilee Singers first brought to the attention of the world the singing ability of the American Negro. They toured a part of America and then went to Europe, where they were received in rapturous acclaim by the artistic circles of England and the Continent. There have been, since this group first went out, many individual singers and instrumentalists of distinction, but no American of color, save one, has ever made so profound an impression upon musical circles as did this first group. Now, we can list many composers among Americans of color; many vio- GROWING THANK YOU DAY, APRIL 28th, 1922 BREAK WILL WEALTHY WOMAN MAKES BEQUESTS TO FOUR SCHOOLS Relatives Are Seeking to Break the Will Claiming That She Was Insane and Unduly Influenced by Unknown Persons. BEQUESTS OF $2,000,000.00 Appeal to Revoke the Will and Divide Money Among Petitioning Relatives Soon to Be Argued in Orphans' Court. Newark, N. J., April 28.—Was Calista S. Mayhew, wealthy white woman who died here December 17th last in her 98th year, looney? By her will Hampton and Tuskegee universities were each willed $400,000, and Snow Hill Institute, Snow Hill, Alabama, $800,000. The only white institution remembered was $800,000 for the Good Will Association of East Fairfield, Maine. This is the largest sum given for education of colored people since January of last year, when John D. Rockefeller gave the colossal sum of $2,291,000 to thirty colored colleges and medical schools. Miss Mayhew left no relatives nearer than nephews and nieces. They claim that she was not only crazy, but was influenced, unduly, by persons unknown to them. Their appeal to revoke the will and devide the large estate among themselves will be heard in the Orphans' Court of this city in the near future. the relatives seeking to break the will are Flora C. Lapham, of Cambridge, Mass.; Frank M. Talbott, of Glen Ridge, N. J.; Mary T. Goodman and Esther B. Talbott, of Minneapolis; Mary Wass Small and Calista Leighton, of Harrington, Me.; Minnie G.

CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. Citizenship Rights Not to Be Abridged. 1, All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or prop- erty without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Afi ay UNDER the above caption The Chi- ‘cago Whip in its last week's issue published the, following suggestive ‘and thought compelling editorial which we commend to the serious con- sideration of our many readers: Woodrow Wilson writes through the ‘Associated Press that Senator Reed of Missouri is “incapable of sustained al- legiance to any cause.” “Mr. Wilson has coined an apt phrase that is ap- propriately suitable to the black peo- ple of Americea—incapable of sustain- ed allegiance to themselves. We have only the records to review to reach the conclusion that so far as the black man in this country has proven himself incapable of allying himself with his own people and keep- ing that alliance and allegiance invio- late, sacred and sustained. We have been disloyal to our own in business ‘and in polities and in return we find ‘our economic development stunted and ‘a decided retrogression in representa- tion before this Nation. If the success of the black man de- pends, as the authorities.claim, upon his independent development in the ‘economic world then, sustained alleg- jance is the indispensable requisite that is lacking. There must be loyal- ty, fidelity and honor among ourselves before we can eradicate the disinte- grating influences which have cause: us to mark time for the last fifteen years. ‘Sustained allegiance will not come over night, but must be infused thru ‘a process of education and a perio: of years. Hamilear, the father of Hannibal almost daily led his young son to the altar of his gods and there made him swear eternal vengeance to Rome and Hannibal, the great, as history re cords, was a member of the black race, followed the teachings of his father. We advocate no doctries of hate and revenge for our enemies, —“Ven- geance is mine, saith the Lord God of Hosts, I will repay.’ But every member of the black race should be taught the lesson of racial consciousness, race pride and race loyalty. If the black man will learn to love himself and take pride in his racial identity, if the idea of “hero worship” which has foiled his progress is abused, then we will become cap- able of “sustained” allegiance to our- ‘selves. We must become competent to support and build our own indus- tries, and finance our own schools, ‘churches and politieal campaigns, then we will begin to receive the recogni- tion and respect that is at present denied us. Sustained allegiance is an earmark of character and no man ‘or race of men can possess distinctive character who does not respect him- self. The black race must build up ‘the qualities which will insure “sus- tained allegiance.” SOUTHERN WOMEN SPEAK OUT MTHAT the women of Texas. have joined with their sisters in other Southern states in speaking out and taking a firm stand for justice fur- nishes gratifying evidence of a deter- mination to right the wrongs which our people have too long suffered. In their address they strike at funda- mental evils which can be and will be ‘eradicated by the united action of the women of the Southland. The prv- tection of womanhood, as womanhood, from the lecherous male of the species ig fundamental, asd the education and normal development of childhood un- der the most favorable conditions is vital. WHAT EDITORS SAY _ LYNCHING 1S SPREADING ‘The spread of the lynching evils es- pecially where the colored peoples are the victims is especially illustrated by fvents within the past few days.

On the con- trary a reading of the text of the story revealed the fact that the offense was an assault and battery committed against a white man. Originally the lynching of Negroes was condoned on the ground that it was a protection for the women. This was not always true even in the be- ginning of this »*monstrous wrong. Often innocent Negroes were framed by scheming enemies, and charged with social crimes. Regardless of the fact that any colored woman was re- garded as fair prey for any white man, the orgy of lynching was direct- ed exclusively against the colored man. But like any other wrong, it grew with age and practice. The rope and stake were next ap- plied to alleged murderers, when the accused was a colored man, and now it seems that where a Negro licks a white man in the south, the Negro’s life is forfeit. ‘No wonder the colored man is mov- ing heaven and earth to secure the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Rill. And it would seem that the white people should also be interested, for it is a short step from lynching tolored people to applying the same treatment to white people. In fact that step has already been taken, an¢ Iynchings of whites are also becom. ing of frequent occurrence. ‘The remedy lies in making the law: ‘worthy of respect, and then rigidl enforcing them.

Burleigh has for many years stood high as a, vocalist, as Johnson and Cook have stood as instrumental- ists and directors. But Roland Hayes now seems to have won the place most prized, Re- cently he has been in England and now is in France and in both places has been acclaimed the equal of the great Caruso as a tenor. Omaha in Music has made great progress in our group during the past fifteen years. She had always pos- sessed a number of pianists of merit, one of whom, thirty years ago, took rank with the first dozen teachers in America. There were bands, too, in this day, and small orchestras that were a credit to our group. And the older men and women tell of marvel- ous voices that the members of the group had in other days. But in re- rent years these have been augmented. We now have two bands, four or chestras, seven or eight music teach ers, two composers, and a number of fine choirs and vocalists. One of the bands is known throughout the middle west for the music it makes and has become an institution. The leader of this band has recently organized and trained a band at Father Flannagen’s Boys’ Homie. He has also developed one of the best orchestras in Omaha. This musician has also trained many of the men who are very successful in other orchestras in Omaha. The de- mand for this man’s musical groups is greater than he can supply. The most finished musician in Omaha in our group is a graduate of the New Eng- land Conservatory of Music and of the Conservatory of Music of Paris, France.

Twenty miles to the southwest of the town of Cape Hattien, in the north of the island of Haiti, there stands, on the top of a precipitous mountain—Bonnet a l'Eveguue—one of the wonders of the western hemisphere, yet one whose existence is as present scarcely known and one whose full history will never be written. A personal visit to Christophe's citadel is necessary in order fully to appreciate its massiveness, its intricate and elaborate construction, and its remote situation. Few are so fortunate as to be able to visit this spot, or, even when given the opportunity, possess the physique necessary to make the arduous trip. Prior to the first general uprising of the shives against their French masters, Christophe worked as a waiter in Cap Francais (now Cape Haitien), and it was in this humble capacity that he is supposed to have picked up his smattering of English and formed the acquaintance of English naval officers. Tail and of a splendid physique, with exceptionally bright and piercing eyes, and with a reckless bravery and a terrible ferocity, combined with no little duplicity and cunning, he speedily achieved a conspicuous place as one of the trusted lieutenants of Toussaint L'Ouverture, that remarkable negro strategist who rose from slavery to a position of commanding importance in Haiti and who successfully led the shives in their revolt against the French prior to the independence of the island republic. Through treachery L'Ouverture was captured and carried away to Fort de Joux, in France, where he died in prison in 1803. His immediate successor was the both famous and notorious Dessalines who created himself emperor. When Dessalines was assassinated, in 1805, Christophe was elected president and soon proclaimed himself king. When he was only a general under Dessalines, Christophe had begun work on his marvelous mountain-top citadel. It is not known just what length of time was required to build the citadel, but it is evident it was finished some little time prior to Christophe's death, in 1820. Its construction is variously estimated to have taken a toll ranging from ten to twenty thousand human lives. Murdered Its French Designers. It is believed that the plan for the structure were drawn and the work of construction supervised by two captive French officers, who possessed the highest order of technical training. When their work was completed, Christophe, in company with these officers, is said to have made a thorough inspection of all parts of the structure, and then, upon arriving at one of the highest points of the edifice, ordered both men seized and hurled to their death on the rocks below, thus forever safeguarding the secrets of the place. There is a legend that the tyrant once had an entire company of mutinous soldiers driven off this same spot; it was his favorite method of dispatching those who incurred the royal ill will. The mere location of this citadel is such that one wonders how nature provided such a site, and a thorough inspection causes unbound admiration for the master mind that recognized the possibilities, aside from conceiving and constructing the edifice now standing there; for Bonnet a L'Eveque could not have been more ideally located for its purpose if it had been made to order. Occupying the entire top of the mountain, the citadel commands every neighboring peak and approach, while a spring beneath and inside of the building furnishes an abundant supply of water, that prime necessity in withstanding a long siege. The building has the prow formation pointing toward the magnetic north, the entire eastern face being in this line. On the eastward side, which is the longest, is located the main battery of heavy guns; and strategically this should be so, for this gives absolute command of the most dangerous approach, that from the di Subscribe for rection of Grande Riviere. An army with the necessary guns and equipage successfully to attack this stronghold, would have to come from that direction. Guns in the prow commanded the nearer and steeper approaches, both from the direction of Grande Riviere and of Milot. Other guns along the southern and western sides commanded adequately all other points of approach. Numerous loopholes were especially prepared for the use of sharp-shooters. The elevation at the base of the citadel has been variously given as from 3,000 to 5,000 feet, but a careful reading of a compensated aneroid barometer records 2,600 feet. To this must be added the height of the different walls, in order to ascertain the correct elevation to the top of the building. Approach Is Difficult. The difficulty in reaching the citadel is due not so much to its elevation as to the fact that to reach it one is compelled to cross at least eight miles of mountainous country, and the approaches are all very steep. The highest place on the walls (measured to the ground) is 140 feet. The highest wall, measured perpendicularly, is the prow, which has a drop of 130 feet. Other walls range from 80 to 110 feet. Although large granite blocks are to be found in many places throughout the building, most of it is built of red fire bricks of different sizes, the average brick being 15 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 2 inches thick. These bricks apparently were manufactured on the site of the building. The mountains for long distances in all directions from the citadel show traces of Titanic labor in getting out building material. The average number of floors is four, the longest being on the east face, where the main battery is located. It has a length of 270 feet in one stretch. The main battery gallery has an inside width of 30 feet. Each gun compartment has wonderful vaulted ceilings 20 feet high, each compartment being separated from those adjoining by thick masonry walls, connected by a low passageway. This is to minimize the effect of local explosions and possible hits. Behind each gun there are still to be found neat piles of cannon balls ready for use, while in convenient chambers just to the rear of some of the guns are heaps of decomposed black powder mingled with the remains of the original wooden powder cases. A vast pile of similar debris is also to be found in the large powder magazine. The largest guns are 11 feet 6 inches long, caliber 6 inches (firing a 6-inch cannon ball), 1 foot 10 inches thick at the breech and 1 foot 33 inches at the muzzle, dated 1786. They are made of bronze and have enormous hardwood mounts of the primitive gravity return type, moving in train over a large metal are set in the floor, and on small wheels of a strong make. These guns came mostly from the English, some from the captured French forts, and others, judging from the very apparent results of the corrosive action of salt water on them, from war vessels wrecked along the treacherous coast. There are only two entrances to the citadel. One was used to bring in the reserve cannon balls from the long plies stored by sizes on the sloping terrace to the south; the other admits to the prow. Both entrances were closed by massive, bolted and loopholed wooden doors. The entire structure is in an excellent state of preservation, except that the floors in the prow were all shaken down in the earthquake of 1842, which laid the town of Cape Haltien in ruins. Christophe's downfall and death were as sudden and melodramatic as the rest of his career. While attending mass on April 15, 1820, he suffered a stroke of apoplexy and fell heavily to the floor alongside the altar in the chapel, paralyzed below the waist. Rebellion soon broke out, and the king, deserted by his army, committed suicide. The Test of Life Copyright, 1922. Western Newspaper Union. She was a nice little thing, but altogether unsuitable for Tom. That was the banker, Charles Routledge's first impression as he looked at his son's fiancee. There was nothing in the world the matter with her. She was the sort of girl whom millions of American men marry and think they are entering into Paradise. Charles Routledge sighed a little as he played with his papercutter. He did not mind Amy's being what his wife would have called socially beneath them. Anne had been the daughter of a poor clerk when he, just made a partner in his father's banking business, married her. Anne had made their position in the social world, and there was no family in Boston too proud to feel honored at an invitation to the fine house on Lea-cock street. No, it was not that. Routledge thought, thinking of his own disappointment, whether he could make Amy understand. And, after all, it all rested with Amy. Tom was a clipher—a happy go-cheek, fairly industrious, typical young American. It was the woman who counted. "So you think you and Tom are in love with each other?" the banker asked, studying the girl's shy face as she watched him confusedly. "I-I think we shall be very happy." Amy answered. "My dear," said Routledge, "I wonder if you understand just what marriage with Tom will imply. I—he was unconsciously speaking out of the book of his own life." "I wish all girls understood how wholly their future happiness depends upon themselves, and how little upon the men they marry. "Of course you will be loyal and affectionate; but there's something more than that, Amy. How much will Tom's life become your own?" "In every way," answered the girl. "I was thinking," said the banker, slowly, "of a man I once knew. He wasn't like Tom in disposition, but all men are more or less alike in ways. Only this man married with that sort of purposive intention that often proves a trap. He thought, 'I am taking this girl to myself, I shall mold her in my own ways, I shall make her everything that I desire her to be.' But it didn't work, my dear. "You see, a man has to be very faithful to his ideals if they are to work out, and married life is a pitfall for the unwary. He found his wife cold, aloof. They drifted apart. At first he was puzzled to find that she appeared unwilling to share his interests. Then, when it was too late, he came to the conclusion that she, too, had been trying to mold him." "Go on," said Amy in a low voice. "There should have been an understanding between them from the beginning. Both were to blame, but the woman should have set to work to make her husband's life her own. She erred in thinking only that she was to be the mistress of her home. She should have set herself the task of becoming the mistress of her husband's heart." He watched the girl's face keenly. "Men want so much more than a home, my dear, and women—often—don't understand. Do you?" "I—I think so," answered Amy. Routledge studied her again before speaking. "I believe you do," he answered. "And, after all," he mused, "that's the stuff that life's made of. It's only out of our disappointments that we strike the spark of character—perhaps immortality. "My dear," he said to the girl, "I hope you and Tom will be happy." He kissed her and watched her depart. And the memories of the past held him so that it was some time before he turned to his work again. How different things might have been if Anne had understood; if he himself had understood—what he had been trying to tell Amy. But, after all, as he had said, one learned only by experience; one hammered out one's character upon the anvil of disappointments. The door of his room opened, and Anne stood on the threshold. At the sight of her Routledge instantly became himself again—cool, self-possessed and quiet. Anne Routledge came to her husband's side and stood looking down at him. "Charles!" she said in a low voice. He looked up at her. "Eh—what—what's the matter, Anne?" "I—I heard what you were saying to Amy. I—I think I didn't understand before. Oh, if you had only said it to me!" She kneeded beside him, her arms about him, sobbing. "It is too late, dear?" she asked him. "I—we shall be lonely now. I think I always understood in a dim sort of way, but—" the man's part, too, Charles. Will you help me, and teach me—or is it 'o late now?" "It's never too late," he answered, huskily, as he put his arms about her. "I say you are a fine example of longevity." "Yas, sah. Thank you, sah. But when my ole 'oman is hard at work an' I'm setting in de sunshine dat ain't what she calls me." ```markdown ``` TREE AND ROSE BUSH SALE ADVO THREE POUNDS GOLD MEDAL COFFEE McCORD-BRADY CO.

Uncle Jim, trapper, had some easy "pluckin's" in the summer escorting department store clerks on hunting and fishing trips. Last summer there came one whom Uncle Jim cataloged as a fish monomaniac. He had learned all about casts and flies from a book, and insisted upon being rowed all over the lake long before sunrise. One morning, while en route to a certain piece of water which this learned fisherman was certain contained every variety of fish, a big pickerel made a playful jump in the water near their boat. "Wait!" Uncle Jim was excitedly commanded. "Didn't you see that whopper jump? Let's stop and catch him." "Aw, he'll stay there," said Uncle Jim. "Let's wait and get him when we come back."—Judge. SECRETS ARE WORTH MUCH Paris Newspaper Would Like to Know More of the Wondrous "Land Where Nobody Dies." In truth, they do die there, but not until they are very old. The country is Madagascar, or, more exactly, Antanarivo, the capital, situated in the middle of the island, on a rock crowning a small plain belonging to the plateau of Ingrima. According to Dr. Estrade the colonial physician—and there is no reason for not believing him—the birth rate at Antanarivo is extremely high and the mortality is surprisingly low. These Malagasans are a happy people. "But could we not," asks the Paris Figaro, "get from them their two beautiful secrets: That of the numerous births and that of longevity? They would render us greater services than all the laws on depopulation and the bounties and other encouragements which the state gives to the parents of large families." Corned Beef and— Italian cigars are not so good. Not so good. They are made by the government, are as long and narrow as the road to salvation and have a straw run through them so that the smoker can occasionally draw a puff. A former A. E.
