THE MAGNANIMITY OF GENERAL WASHINGTON. While the young Virginia Colonel was quartered at Alexandria, an election dispute occurred, and in the heat of the party excitement Washington told Mr. Payne that he lied, and Payne at once knocked the Colonel down. The next morning Payne received a note from Washington, asking him to call at his lodgings. Mr. Payne, of course, expected a demand for satisfaction, or a challenge to a duel. Imagine his surprise, when, instead of such a demand, Washington greeted him with outstretched hand, saying, "Mr Payne, I believe I was in the wrong yesterday. You have already had some satisfaction, and, if you deem that sufficient, here is my hand, let us be friends." * * ALL STOPPED. Jack Johnson was talking to a New York sporting editor about game fighters, saying, with a good humored smile, "they are all as game as Tommy Burns was at Sydney. In one of the latter rounds, when I was punishing Burns pretty bad a backer yelled— "Brace up Tommy, old boy, and stop some of them blows." "Stop 'em!" said Burns, "did you see any of 'em getting by?" DONE BROWN. A confirmed stutterer went into a restaurant and met a few acquaintances, who commenced chaffing him about his stuttering. At last one of them said, "Well, old man, I'll bet the suppers round, you can't order them without stammering." "D—d—d—done," said Brown, "and to the astonishment of all and the chagrin of the challenger, he beckoned the waiter and sang the order without the slightest bitch. Then turning round to his tormentor; he said: "Now—n—now, y—y—you—c—c—c—can p—p—p—pay." A FABLE. Honor, Prudence and Pleasure undertook to keep house together. Honor was to govern the family, Prudence to provide for it, and Pleasure to conduct its Arrangements. For some time they got along well and with great prosperity; but, after a while Pleasure getting the upper hand, began to carry mirth to extravagance, and filled the house with gay, idle and riotous company, and the consequent expenses threatened the ruin of the establishment, for Honor and Prudence determined to quit the house and let Pleasure go on her way. This could not continue long, as Pleasure brought herself to poverty, while Honor and Prudence settled together in another habitation; and although Pleasure begged to be received again by them, they never admitted her as a partner in their New York reporter that American women, under the new English King, would not be so popular as they were under King Edward, who liked Americans. But King George's wife is very aristocratic and exclusive, and as skeptical of the American woman's future in London, as Ben Franklin was of matrimony. "He that takes a wife," said Franklin, skeptically, takes care." Then he added more skeptically still, "But he that takes care doesn't take a wife." SPARKS. Napoleon said, "A woman ceases to charm when she makes herself feared." Long visits, long stories, long essays, long exhortations and long ser mons seldom profit. ALEXANDRA DEFIES OLD AGE Secret of Dowager Queen's Youthful Appearance Lies Mostly in Her Diet. The secret of Queen Alexandra's wonderful youthful appearance never ceases to interest feminine England and some details of her diet have been imparted to the curious. Queen Alexandra never touches red meat. She eats only chicken, turkey, duck and game. The vegetables she has served to her are cabbage, spinach, peas and beans. She does not eat pudding or pastry and for dessert has simply fruit cooked or uncooked and nuts and raisins. She is particularly fond of nuts and has been known to make an entire luncheon of almonds and walnuts dipped in salt. She eats toast rather than bread and very little butter, but quantities of cream. She drinks nothing but hot milk, having given up tea, coffee, cocoa and wines years ago. On this diet with a moderate amount of exercise Queen Alexandra keeps wonderfully well and preserves a girlish symmetry of figure and softness of skin which makes it difficult to realize that she is well past 60. U. S. CAPITOL BARBER DIES. House of Representatives, Washington, i). (2., July 11, 1911 John W. Evans, one of the official barbers of the United States Capitol, died at his residence, 453 Florida avenue, Monday evening at 8:30 o'clock of heart and kidney trouble. He was in his 59th year and was born and reared in Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio. He came to this city about 30 years ago, where he worked at his trade in various shops until about twenty years ago, when he received an appointment as an official barber of the House of Representatives, where he performed the duties of his office faithfully until two years ago, when, through the influence of such men as Vice President Sherman and Senators Bailey and Bankhead he received an appointment as a barber in the United States Senate barbershop He had many friends among the members of Congress. Such men as Vice President Sherman, Senator Baily and Bankhead, Representatives Clayton, Henry, Finley, Bourlison, Adamson, Taylor and Ex Representative Cooper. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn his loss, three sons and one daughter. N. G. R. For cleaning, dying and pressing clothes, Mr. C. E. Cordner has one Real Southern Devilishness HOW THEY MANUFACTURE RACE PREJUDICE DOWN SOUTH. The Nashville Banner published in the city of Nashville, Tennessee, under date June 29, printed a harrowing tale bearing the caption: "THE INHUMAN ACT OF TWO NEGROES." Said act is alleged to have been perpetrated by two rough looking Negroes upon Johnnie Bird, a thirteen year old white boy whom they seized and bound to a tree with barbed wire. Johnnie's loud and continued calls for help were without avail until very late in the day, when they were heard by passers by who released him all torn and bleeding and restored him to his anxious parents." This was an awfully brutal deed and it showed just how cruel and vengeful the hated Negro is. Strange to say however, these brutes did not rob Mamma's darling. They did not take his candy money or his jackknife or tamper with his chewing gum. These were all found intact. Nashville was of course duly excited after reading this story from the truthful Banner and the proper committees were called together to take action on this outrage by "big burly Negroes." But Oh—that but—before they could get their rifles loaded or they had named the Committee on Bomfire, The NASHVILLE TENNESSEAN of June 20, with a stricter regard for the truth of history, and with an evident desire to avert another bloody race conflict in the South, investigated the boy's story of the assault made upon him by Negroes and published this version which proves both the boy and the Banner to be the BANNER LIARS of Nashville. Here follows the Tennessee's report of this diabolical and inhuman act. What cheerful and accommodating liars some of these white Southern Journals are where the Negro is THE SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION. WILY SON OVERDID MATTER A TRIFLE. SOUGHT TO ESCAPE WRATH FOR NEGLECT OF DUTY, DISCOVERED. When Mrs, Robert M. Byrd of 206 Myrtle avenue, East Nashville, sent her little son, Johnnie, aged 13 years, after a washerwoman Wednesday morning, she little thought that he would deceive his trusting mother. As events turned out, however, she was slightly mistaken. Meeting with several of his companions, the boy decided that rather than go on errands he would go swimming. So he hied off with the other boys to a nearby pond. All day he spent splashing around in the water and having a good time. But as night drew on Johnnie began to think of the reception which awaited him at home, and he began to worry. So, after racking his wits, he thought of a scheme to avoid trouble that for ingenuity has seldom been excelled, and but for the widespread publicity made of the incident Johnnie might still be a hero cessfully, but which is likely to prove a boomerang, was to have his companions tie him to a tree, near a path where he knew men would shortly be coming, and upon his release, to tell a story of being bound by two Negro boys and left tied to the tree for the day. Had it not been for the fancy details which he added to the story all might have been well. But, in order to make the tale thrilling, Johnnie insisted that his companions bind him with barb wire. Everything worked out as planned. Johnnie was tied to the tree, an employee of the Carter shoe factory came by and released him, and he went home and told his pitiful story. But the bach wice proved his undoing. For the men of the community became so enraged at the inhuman act of the boy's capture in ticing him with barbed wire that they told the police of the matter. The police, therefore, began a rigid search for the perpetrators of the inhuman deed. In the meantime, the boys who had taken part in the trick had gone home, and thinking the matter a good joke they told of the matter. Therefore when the police began an investigation of the matter they soon found that the whole thing was a hoax. Hearing that the boy's father, Robert Byrd, who works with Max Firestine, had discovered the tale told by his son to be false, they left the matter in the father's hands, satisfied that he would do full justice in the premises.—From Nashville Tennessee, June 20, 1911. Most, if not all of the stories coming up from the South, of Negro criminality have no better foundation than this story of "Mamma's darling." Which the vile, venal, and vicious Nashville Banner sought to magnify and finally crystalize into a fact, with the ostensible object of inflaming the public mind against the entire Negro race in the city of Nashville. Newspapers like the Banner are a menace to the peace, and good order of society. They are sowers of discord, breeders of discontent, and are more responsible for internal disorders in a community than the ring leaders of the mobs who accept their mischievous lies, as truths and act upon the suggestions of editorials and news articles written EXPRESSLY for the purpose of inciting the people to lawlessness. The Nashville Banner is now the Ananias of the journals of news and opinion in Nashville, and like its namesake it may fall dead some day. John Edward Bruce. WORTH TRYING, ANYHOW There is general complaint as to the ravages of caterpillars on trees. The New York World suggests a remedy which might be worthy a trial at least. It consists in placing one or more caterpillars on a lettuce leaf which has first been thorongly soaked in water. After they have eaten to their content, the directions say, the caterpillars should be placed on the tree, where they will communicate the cholera contracted in eating the lettuce to all the other caterpillars and cause their speedy death. Wanted—Honest Virginia girl (color) for good homes. Address Mrs. C. Morphy, 1718 Union Ave GF SUCH ARE PROOFREADERS Little Miss Has Painful Struggle During Spelling Lesson Conducted by Her Father. Ralph Royston, who is a salesman for one of the big printing machinery houses, lives in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn. He has five children and one of the youngsters, a girl, is a notoriously bad speller. The other evening Mr. Royston was endeavoring to help the child with her studies. The girl had to spell "evenly," and with much painful effort she started "e," then "v," then hesitated and haltingly suggested "e" again, and having progressed thus far stopped. "Well, go on," said the father, as he pronounced "evenly" slowly and carefully, to help the youngster. "What a after 'eve'?" The little girl thought and thought and then suddenly saw light. "R." she said. Her father, who couldn't understand why she could not get the word right, asked her with some impatience, "Why YY?" "Oh, yes," exclaimed the little one with a glad cry of triumph, "that's it! E-V-E-R-Y-R. Everyly." Mr. Royston laughed and the sisters and brother of the struggling spelled laughed, and then the little girl understood that she had blundered terribly. And then she did what a little miss is sure to do at such a time. She wept. ASIATICS ON BRITISH SHIPS Growing Preference for Chinese Sea men Over Britons for Service Under Red Ensign. One of the principal grievances complained of by the union, we believe, is the alleged growing preference of ship owners for Asiatic seamen, particularly Chinese seamen, to British seamen, for service under the red ensign. The recent declaration by Winston Churchill, home secretary, in to the following pertinent effect: With regard to the alleged dumping of Chinese labor on British ships, the figures show that the number of British seamen employed in the British merchant marine is steadily increasing while the number of Lascars and Asiatics of all kinds was stationary. In 1905 there were 263,685 persons employed, of whom 186,492 were British and 43,483 were Lascars and Asiatics. In 1908 there were 198,474 British and 43,960 Lascars and Asiatics, an increase of nearly 18,000 British seamen in four years. It should be remembered that a very large proportion of Lascars and Asiatics employed were natives of India and British subjects.—Shanghai Times. When Codfish Use Ballast A Gloucester fisherman, one of the protestants again the fish clause in the Canadian Reciprocity bill, was talking about fish in Washington. "These balloonists and aeronauts," he said, "think they are very clever with their sand ballast, but by crinus, the codfish has been using sand ballast since before the flood. Whenever there's a terrible scarcity of cod, what few you do catch have sand in their stomach. Why? to weigh them, so that they can sink down to deep water where their friends are. Yes, sand filled cod means scarcity fish. It means that the cod for some reason or other are swimming deep, their stomachs ballasted with sand to keep them down." Dick In a Crowd. When a certain mild-mannered representative from a middle western state went to congress he left behind a body of constituents who fancied that great personal benefits would come to them through their powerful statesman. A farmer with political designs followed the great man to Washington. "Well, Tom," a friend asked him on his return, "did you see Washington and Dick Blank, and did you get what you went after?" "Yes, I seen Washington, and I see Dick Blank," he replied, "but Dick couldn't do nutbin' for me. He was, having a hard time to keep from gittn' framed on hiself."—Success.

Grady will never live to see the time when editors will be made to sign their editorials. On account of our editorial space being taken up with the publication of the detriment tax list of Barkley County, editorials are sourced this week. Spectator's Notes in the Rochester Sentinel are well worth reading, and if beeded, will do the race an inestimable amount of good. The latest Southern statesman(2) to pose as a god is James K. Vardaman, and he isn't worth ten cents. Poor valuation to place on a god, but its the best we can do, because he is no good anyway. The Cuvitier bill, creating a colored regiment for the State of New York has passed both houses of the legislature, and is now ready for the Governor to sign. It is hoped he does it. Rev. Louis S. Osborn, of Trinity Episcopal church, at Newark, N. J., astounded his congregation by saying, "Damn the Ice and Milk Truate." Plain talk, but if they deserve it he had a right to say it right in his pulpit. Work for the Department of Justice and it should go at it with its coat off. The idea of a United States District Judge saying he would rather see a hundred Negroes killed than one white man. Bland is his name. Oust him. The Universal Race Congress which meets in London, England, July 26, is destined to do untold good to the civilized and uncivilized races of the world, and will go down in history as one of the greatest gatherings held during the present century. In the passing of Robert, ("Bob") Motts, late proprietor of the Pekin Theater, Chicago, the colored race loses its pioneer and premier theatrical promoter, and a man who bore the reputation of doing what he said he would. He went to Chicago thirty years ago from Iowa penniless and when he died, his wealth was estimated at a half million dollars. Several foreign powers are at their usual and periodical business of bullying poor little Haiti, and while, at present, the insignificant black Republic appears quite docile, there is no telling when and where the Haitian spirit, which is always retaliative, may break out, and what havoc it will wreak among the foreign invaders when it does. In appointing Battles, New York's new Negro policeman, Commissioner Woldo, who appointed him, said, "No power could have stopped the appointment." The above is the sort of statement one would expect to come from a man, and when more like it are made, and acts are made to conform thereto, this will be a fine country to dwell in, and all meritorious Negroes will come into their own.
