Each season brings its own sport or pastime, game or fad for the boys. The autumn and winter are the seasons when many boys hunt or shoot a great deal, says the Omaha Bee. This should be the time, then, for the reiteration of that old warning about the "I-didn't-know-it-was-loaded" accident. Boys should be careful with their shooting irons, and never fail to know whether they are loaded or not. Two boys were out shooting a few days ago and one, thinking his gun was empty, aimed it at the other and pulled the trigger. The other dropped dead. "I didn't know it was loaded," wailed the one who killed him, echoing the wall of scores of others who had at sometimes been as criminally negligent as himself. No boy or man has a right to aim a firearm at another person, and when he does it, whether harm comes of it or not, he should be made to feel that he has done something he should not. Parents can well afford to deny guns and pistols to their boys until they have reached such ages as will make them capable of realizing their dangers. If they must have guns, they should be cautioned against careless use of them. It sometimes seems trite to speak of warning boys against such things, but if they were warned often enough such distressing accidents would be fewer. NOVEL PLEADINGS OF A LAWYER BEFORE U. 8. SUPREME COURT. Washington, D. C—(Special)—With the books of Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Isaiah and Ether as leading authorities on justice, J. Alexander Chiles, a Negro who was compelled to ride in a "Jim Crow" part of the way from Washington to Lexington, Ky., has appealed to the supreme court of the United States for what he believes are his rights. He argues that his rights as an interstate passenger were infringed. Last term the court decided against Chiles. This time he has come into court asking for a rehearing despite the rule that a motion for rehearing cannot be entertained in any term except that in which the case was decided. Chiles is conducting his own case. He cited the justices, in a brief, to Leviticus 24:22, to convince them that they should "have one manner of law as well for the stranger as for one of your own country; to Deuteronomy 1:117, to carry home his point, "that ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as the great," and to Isaiah 5:16, that the court "may keep in mind thus with the Lord, keep ye judgment and do justice." Anecdotal Literature A Spartan youth held the censer to Alexander while he offered sacrifice. A live coal happened to light upon his bare arm, and he suffered it to burn into the flesh, rather than to cry out and disturb the worship of his sovereign. When the Romans broke into Jerusalem with their troops and rushed into the Temple ready to kill the priests who were performing the rites of the Temple, the priests went on with their ceremonies, as if there had been no assault. Would the priests of our day stand such a test? NOSTALGIA (HOME SICKNESS) Whosoever suffers from this disease is a sad and unhappy mortal, even though physically hale and robust. The city man in the country, the country man in the city, the highlander in the lowlands, the lone one from home and family, &c.,—all know of the pauge of nostalgia. The foreigner among people with whom he cannot converse is one of the keenest sufferers, for he is in the position of a man all alone in a crowd. But we all know something of it, if we are only willing to confess it, the writer not excepted. THE DRUMMER BOY OF SULLOH. The way in which Col. John L. Clem, "the famous Drummer Boy of Shiloh," got into the regular army is unique and interesting. It was in the early days of Gen. Grant's first term as President. Individually and without aid Clem secured an audience with the President. The President said, "Boy, what can I do for you?" Clem answered, "Mr. President, I wish to ask you for an order to admit me to West Point." "But why," said the President do you not take the examination? "I did, Mr. President, but I failed to pass." "That was unfortunate" said the President, "how was that?" "Why, Mr. President, you see I was in the war," and while there those boys of my age were in school." "What?" said the President, amazed, "you were in the war?" "Yes, Mr. President, I was in the war from a little boy and have had a great experience, and now only going on eighteen. The President wrote something, sealed it and handed it to Clem, saying: Take this to the Secretary of War, I guess it will fix you all right. Clem went to the Secretary, but was received somewhat coldly. He delivered the note. The Secretary, after reading it said: "Do you know what this is?" "No" said Clem, "But I supposed it was an order to admit to West Point." "Mamma," said little Ethel, with a sad look, "I ain't going to school any more." "Way, my dearie; what's the ma- terior?" gently asked the mother. "Cause, it ain't no use at all. I can never learn to spell. The teacher keeps, changing the words on me all the time." GAVE HIMSELF AWAY A farmer and his wife killed their last hog and left the carcass out at night to cool. It was gone the next morning. They agreed to say nothing about it and they would know that the first person mentioning the loss was the thief. Sunday as they entered church the preacher read his text, "I have meat to eat that you know not of." Nudging his wife, the old man whispered, "Mariah, we never did suspect him, did we?"—Thomas (Okla) Times. The Rev. Irl R.

THIRTY YEARS TOGETHER. Thirty years of association—think of it. How the merit of a good thing stands out in that time—or the worthlessness of a bad one. So there's no guesswork in this evidence of Thos. Arise, Concord, Mich., who writes: "I have used Dr. King's New Discovery for 20 years, and its the best cough and cold cure I ever used." Once it finds entrance in a home you can't pry it out. Many families have used it forty years. It's the most infallible throat and lung medicine on earth.

An Australian sheep raiser while mustering his flocks climbed for fun the summit of a high peak on his estate. On reaching the top he was astonished to find a merino sheep in a grassy sheltered hollow. The animal had apparently lost its gregarious instincts, developed misanthropical tendencies and led an exalted hermit existence for years. Having never been shorn, its wool was a couple of feet in length. This is said to be the longest staple of wool on record.—London Chronicle. ATTACK LIKE TIGERS. In fighting to keep the blood pure the white corpuscles attack diseases germs like tigers. But often germs multiply so fast the little fighters are overcome. Then see pimples boils, eczema, salt rheum and sores multiply and strength and appetite fail. This condition demands Electric Bitters to regulate stomach, liver and kidneys and to expel poison from the blood. "They are the best blood purifier," writes C. T. Budahn, of Tracy, Calif., "I have ever found." They make rich, red blood, strong nerves and hold up your health. Try them. 25a. at all druggists. Rockefeller's Female Boss The only person on earth that John D. Rockefeller takes orders from is a woman, and that woman is not Mrs. John D. Rockefeller. She is his secretary, Miss Adam. She is a clear cut, precise, strong, vigorous, woman, like Katherine Harrison, who was H. H. Rogera' secretary for many years. Miss Adam looks after the oil king's correspondence, makes all of his engagements and is his remembrancer, so that he forgets none of them. She goes through his mail every morning and picks out the letters she thinks worth while for him to see. The rest of them she either mentions to see if he has any special instructions or else she answers them without asking his advice because she knows his wishes so thoroughly. Sometimes Mr. Rockefeller, who is getting to be quite a mild and tolerant sort of man, is inclined to follow the suggestion of some of his correspondents or to do as he is requested by an acquaintance or a friend. Miss Adam is born with him so long and knows him so well and has his confidence so absolutely that she does not hesitate to take a stand against him if she does not believe in the wisdom of what is suggested. Nine times out of ten the man of $500 000,000 bows to her. Before getting an interview with Mr. Rockefeller it is necessary to get past Miss Adam. She is the most critical of any of the guardians of the great, and a man has to have urgent business instead and something of the highest importance to secure him an audience with the oil king. If there is one thing above all others that Miss Adams regards with peculiar antipathy it is a newspaper man.—New York Press. ACCUSED OF STEALING. E E. Chamberlain, of Clinton, Me., boldly accuses Bucklen's Arnica Salve of atcaling—the eating from burns or scalds—the pain from sores of all kinds—the distress from boils or piles. "It rebaits, corns, bruises, sprains and injuries of their terror," he says, "the a healing remedy its equal don't exist." Only 250 at all druggists.

SATURDAY,FEBRUARY 25 1910 The failures of the "Knights of Wise Men," "True Reformers," "Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Companys," the Gallilean Fishermen" and a bank here and there are no more than what has in innumerable instances happened to other races. But their failures created in them more pluck and push to enter into business with more zeal and attention, and have their enterprise solid footing, and Negroes can do likewise. Elsewhere in the current issue will be found a news account of the pleadings of J. Alexander Chiles, an attorney of Lexington, Ky. Mr. Chiles is a Negro and is quite an able lawyer, seems determined to have the Supreme Court of the United States finally pass on the question of separate cars for the races. In his brief for the inspection of the country's highest tribunal attorney Chiles liberally quotes from the Bible, and his extracts from that book of books are very applicable to his contentions for justice to himself and his people. Prof. T. N. Carver, of Harvard, opposes Ex-President Eliot, Theodore Roosevelt and others who advocate large families. Prof. Carver declares parents should not have more children than they can properly care for. If Prof Carver is as far off on sensible economy as he is on large families, it will pay Harvard to get rid of him. What care had Ben. Franklin, Fred. Douglass, Abraham Lincoln and thousands of others who lacked beds, clothes and food? Our best and greatest men have come from homes of the most object poverty—even the Son of God was born in the manger among stock. Delegates S.ibert and Sperow are deserving of much commendation for the part they played in helping defeat Senator French's jimcrow bill. Democrats like them have proven themselves to be a credit to any section, and Berkeley is especially proud of them for refusing to humiliate respectable Negroes. We suggest that the Negroes of Berkeley and adjoining counties give these two honorable gentlemen and legislators a public ovation upon their return home. They are fully deserving of this honor, because they voted to treat us as men in the face of the fact that some of our friends(?) republicans were in favor of degrading us, our women and children. We will wager a doughbhut to a ten cent piece that there won't be any more lynchings in Newark, Ohio. Our conclusion has been reached because of the fact that the authorities of Newark are making object lessons of the men who took part in the lynching of Carl Etherington, dry detective, in that city last Summer. Two men, one white, and the other black, have already been tried, convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for 20 years, and other trials will follow as speedily as possible. As the distinguished banker. journalist and publicist, John Mitchell, Jr. of Richmond, Va., has been saying for 25 years, "Lynch law must go." The Pullman Company, the greatest sleeping car corporation in the world, was sued by a white lady who averred she was humiliated because one or more Negroes were allowed to ride in a Pullman car in Mississippi, in which said lady was riding. The lower court gave her verdict against the Pullman Company for $15,000 on account of her wounded feeling. Allright so far, but now comes the Pullman Company and says, if the higher courts affirm the decision of the lower, it will entirely withdraw Pullman service from the whole state of Mississippi. This proposed plan of Pullman's is certainly to be considered as biting back with a vengeance, but there are times when deeperate cases need drastic treatment, and this is one of them. It is an honor for the Independent Order of St. Luke, a beneficial organization, to go through the test set forth by Virginia's examiner and be pronounced safe and sound. This organization has a membership of over fifty thousand, and a bank with a capital stock of $50,000. To be able to go ahead now and do business amidst the crushing calamities of the recent past concerning our various secret societies is an honor and a sign of better times, for desiring to do right, and having the brain power and keen executive ability behind it, that St. Luke has, how natural for it to profit by the failure of the others. As we see it, and know some of the people at its head, we would not fear to place our dollars in to aid self and family when the rainy day comes. Comparison Odious. The editor of this paper was a union soldier, a noncommissioned officer and holds an honorable disobcharge. In face of all the above, he is not allowed among the white union soldiers of this town as a member of the Post of the G. A. R. Sometime back a white man and friend, suggested that our application be sent in, and after urging us to do so, we did, but it created a furor, and the next day a certain republican who boasts of having "fought to free you" said: "You've got a bell of a lot of gall—by g—d—, if you were made white as snow and fell from heaven we would not let you in." Mr. James West, though not a soldier, but a servant to his former master and Confederate officer, who died in Mr. West's arms, was buried last Sunday at Hedgesville, Berkeley County, W. Va. Mr. West loved his owner and be loved his slave—because both were fine men. Mr. West remained in the army three years and always proved true to the trust confided in him, and ever since voted with the Democratic party. When and wherever the Confederate veterans met, Mr. West met with them; he wore their badge and when he died they took his body in charge. Rev. Dr. McBryde, a white Prebysterian preacher officiated with tears in his eyes, and the white choir of his church sang and his pall bearers were among the most distinguished white men of Berkeley county or the State, and they are going to erect a monument in honor and memory of him. What do you think of the contrast? For the particulars of the affair look elsewhere in this issue. JAMES WEST. Loved in Life. Honored in Death. The tall, stately, courteous, genial, loving and lovable, bonest, frugal and industrious James West will be seen on the streets of this city no more. He has left—gone to that bourne from which no one returns. He was not an educated man in let- tere, but nature made him profoundly so in goodness of heart, cleanness of soul, will power, and eagacity—always ready and willing to do in the strictest sense the golden rule to his fellow men. He was born, reared, lived and died in Berkeley county at the age of 65 were 7 months and 7 days—he was the only James West, and there will never be another. He and his Master," were brothers beloved—never had cross words, and each loved the other—so much so Capt. Hammond took James with him through the war and when Captain Kirk Hammond was shot, James West nursed him till he died to his embrace and was baptized with his tears. The master slept on the battle field and the slave came home to tell the sad story and to be embraced and loved for all time anew, and he was. Finally he got married, and reared a splendid family, and leaves a devoted wife and six children—a credit to themselves and their parents. The funeral took place last Sunday at Hedgesville, that little village so healthful and beautiful for situation—being on top of North Mountain. The whitee took the whole effair in charge. His pall bearers active and honorary were not only all white but of the best people of this city and county; viz. Meersers, John E Boyd, Charles L. Stuckey, Robert Q Moler, John I. Burns, Dra. Allen Graybill and David P. Fry, John S Vermilyea, Meersers, W. H. Kilter, Wm. H. Lingamfelter, Conrad K Robbins, David Swimley and Capt. Adam Smal'z. The white choir of the Preabyterian church bad charge of the song service, and not only was their singing pathetic, soft and low, but sweetened with sorrow, for the one they loved so well. Rev. Dr. McBryde, aged in the cause of God's good work and humanity, officiated. We have read of Wirt, the blind preacher, whose audience was lifted up so high at one stage of his magnificent Christ-like oratory that some feared for the descent of analogy, but with outstretched hands, head poised heavenward, and eyes set on something beyond, be pealed out: "Soorates died like a philosopher, peacefully philosophizing with his friends, but Jesus Christ died like a God." I would loved to have heard the above, but all in all, I heard a greater sermon last Sunday over the dead body of Mr. James West by Rev. Dr. McBryde. He did just what the great Dr. Cook of Boston, Beecher of New York, Brooks and others—the Savior of men included—have done; simply talked on the merits of his case and he had a good one for his subject. Oratory is never sublime till the orator absorbed in his subject forgets himself, and that is what Rev. Dr. McBryde did over the dead body of Mr. West. He read a beautiful chapter followed by three stanzas of a bymn, which he intended for the choir to sing, but said he wanted to say a word or so, but in the jungles of grief, blinded by tears and weighted down by years, he got lost and for twenty five minutes kept on telling what he knew of the dead man's life, and it was beautiful. With uplifted hande, he told that vast crowd of people that "Brother West was the best friend, white or colored I over bad. I loved him and he loved me." He said a certain white man asked him: "Is it possible that such a relation can exist between you and a colored man?" "Yes," said Dr. McBryde "I loved him with all my heart and I repeat it, he was the best friend I ever bad." It was undying friendship. He was as honest as any man, I ever knew. I could and did trust him with everything I had and was never deceived. When I left home my family was in his care and he did his whole duty. He was true, honest, faithful and an upright christian gentleman, and this great throng of people bear cheerful testimony. Finally with eyes filled with tears and voice trembling, he said: "I want no higher testimony when I pass away than this wonderful gathering of noted people around my casket. His narrative of his trip to the stable last Sunday and how the horse repeatedly neighed for Mr. West was tear drawing. Weeping aloud he said: "Yours and my friend is gone and you'll never see or hear time again. Swelling with grief and his eyes filling with tears, the choir, almost as deeply effected as was Dr. McBryde, in tremor helped him out by sweetly singing—Lead kindly light—bringing the church services to a close, when seemingly an endless procession followed all that was mortal of James West to its final resting place. The Horse of horses We took a jaunt into the country recently behind the prettiest horse and finest mover we ever saw. No one can see the horse without admiring him. He is full of life, and always playful. Mr. Willism Roman has charge of this horse, and to watch closely his methods of caring for and governing this thorough bred animal, is as pleasing to a humane person as is the rare make up of the horse. The horse knows him, and loves him. He talks to it as tenderly as a mother does to her wayward children, whenever he begins to cut any of his extra didoes. When signs of scaring confronts him, no harsh, but gentle and persuasive words are used. He is the best horseman, to our knowledge there is in Jefferson, Berkeley and Morgan counties. CARD OF THANKS We, the bereaved family of James W. West, who was born May 10, 1842, and died February 17, 1911, wish to express our deep and sincere thanks to the wide circle of philanthropic minded white friends for their loyalty, kindness and sympathy shown our deceased one during his illness. We can never forget or repay the ever constant assistance and loving sympathy of his many white friends toward him until the end came and death claimed him as its own. The flowers which were presented to us by the ever faithful Daughters of the Confederacy for the burial of the deceased were beautiful, and we express our sincere thanks to them for their loving remembrance in this manner, assuring them as well, that they will be forever held by us in food memory for their many demonstrations of true friendship for their departed friend. We assure our white friends that there has been imbbedded within our hearts a sweet recollection of their esteem and kindness. We again thank all, trusting that at some future time we may be able to serve them in some appropriate manner that will partly repay them for their great kindness toward the dear husband and father who is now sleeping in the sweet embrace of death and abiding in that eternal home which has been prepared for the righteous ones from the foundation of the world.
