AN ORIGINAL SHORT STORY FOR BOYS. BY JOHN E. BRUCE GRIT. Continued from Pioneer Press of August 16th., 1913. Our little friend here it appears, said the captain, is of very distinguished lineage. His father was a rich Louisiana planter who lost his estates and his fortune during the late War between the North and South. At the breaking out of the war he organized a company of young men—the sons of planters and fought against the Yankees. The dad's mother was his slave and she was sold some two or three years before the war began, and this little fellow, like Topsy just growed as Mrs. Stowe put it, in her admirable story of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Mr. Haldene and I ran across him or whether he ran across us in New Orleans on our last voyage out. We were standing on the dock conversing one morning when he came along and asked for some work to do. His earnest manner impressed me most favorably and I was equally impressed by his manliness and politeness. I told Haldene to take him aboard after I bad questioned him a little as to what he could do, and find some place for him on our vessel. Haldene installed him as my cabin boy. When he reported to me for duty I asked him his full name and he told me that he had no other name than Phillip. I asked him what was his father's name and he told me that Marster's name wuz Eagleston. Here the sisters exchanged meaningful glances and Dr. Hodder shook his head the while looking silently but pityingly into the face of this diminutive contribution to Negro Criminality. Brutall he exclaimed, it is difficult to believe that such gross immorality can be practiced in a civilized country. I have heard some American speakers declare said the captain's young niece that these people really sell their own children, and when I was in America four years ago I saw a beautiful girl sold in the slave market in Riobmond whom I mistook for a white girl, but I afterward learned that she was classed as colored. Slavery is brutalizing both the Negro and the white man in America, and it is a blessing to both races that it has been abolished. Yes, said Dr. Hodder, its abolition is one of the best things that could have happened both for the Negro and for America yet I fear that its beneful and demoralizing effects will be felt for many years to come in that country. White men in America have mixed their blood with their Negro slaves and thus have sown to the wind, only to reap in a coming day the terrible whirlwind which, if it does not completely destroy them, will at least destroy their character as a virtuous and christian nation. We too have sinned against these blacks but I have never yet heard it said that any English slaveholder ever sold his own flesh and blood. We will have to pay the penalty for our misdeeds, but I think MALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE MRTINSBURG, W. this charge cannot be successfully laid against us. No, said Captain Coverdale, that is a crime against all the finer feelings of humanity and decency which was regarded as a virtue among the slaveholders of America. Why there are more half castes I am told in the slaveholding states of America than in all the free states combined. These black men and women have the blood of the best whites in America coursing through their veins. Jefferson, Washington, Burr and nearly all that galaxy of American statesmen of the 17th and 18th centuries had Negro progeny. When last I was touring in Virginia there was pointed out to me a fine looking mulatto man, whom I was told was a descendant of the Father of the country, and I could but notice the striking resemblance, the contour of the finely shapped head and the fine face and Caucasian features of this proud descendant of America's greatest and most honored statesman. This lad Phillip is of this unfortunate class. Haldane and I got his story from people originally from a place called Baton Rouge, where they owned a large plantation with six or seven hundred slaves. At the death of the elder Eagleaton the estate came into the possession of the eldest con, the father of this lad, whose mother was maid to his wife. Eagleston it appears, was a pretty guy liver, a petron of the rocce and a gambler at cards. He lost heavily at the latter, and soon his estate, in Baton Rouge, were swept away from him, over the green baize. All his slaves, except a few old family servants, were sold to meet his gambling debts, next his live stock, horse, cows, sheep, hogs and family carriages, and household effects were sacrificed. When all these were disposed of, the old homestead was broken up forever, and Eagleton with his family and the few servants left to him, about a dozen in all, moved to Gretna, where he had purchased a 50 acre farm—with borrowed money, and attempted to recoup his fortune. Among the slaves he brought with him to Gretna was Clarisa, this lad's mother, who was above the ordinary slave woman, as she could read and write. She had always been a house girl, was a comely maiden, soft of speech, and attractive in manner. A few years before the breaking out of the Civil War, Clarisa was sold by Eagleton, who was just $950 oby on a note which was about to fall due, and which he had to meet or take the consequences. Clarisa was purchased at Public Auction in New Orleans and was obliged to submit to all the indignities which characterized those gatherings of lecherous roves and rakes assembled to inspect "housekeepers", offered for sale by impecunious and heartless masters who would barter their God for His image in gold. This lad was left on the plantation to grow up until atern necessity should make him the victim of the same fate as that of his mother. But rumors of war and the sudden bureting of the war cloud spared him this fate. It is a sad story, but there is a silver lining to it. Turning to Phillip, he said, my Continued on Second Page. Beauties Of Motherhood Agy Bill Ary our dear old writer, would say, "My mind often illuminates" on the story of Christ, especially that part where Luke tells "Mary kept these things, and poured them in her heart." I feel sure the virgin was in this respect, as every mother had been before her, and still is to the present day. So with sympathy and love born from the school of experience I would fain closer mothers and expect mothers, whose hearts are at present fraught with the same sober meditations. What bu maternal love could inspire woman to suffer and yet be strong? Not all of us can say "the hold the handmotion of the Lord," and I am certainly convinced that this holy characteristic is expected from us less favored women. Just a quarter of a century ago I was married to my prince Charming, our chief assets in this world's gooddeal being good health, some common sense and a good name, with much "better to do" relatives on either side to forcibly remind us of our lack of filthy lucre. We made many mistakes, but never the one of trying to emulate the dress or luxuries of these richer kinefolk. When just six short years rolled from our calendar five gems of babyhood had come as jewels to our fireside ring. By way of epology I must add two of these were twins. At the end of nine more years our family numbered seven, one golden-beired girl and six brown eyed boys. Our girl is married and at the age of forty nine I am "Dan Mamma" to a curly haired boy of three summers. Two of our boys passed over the river in three short weeks' time, teaching in a new and lasting lesson the true meaning of the "Valley of the Shadow." These missing notes in the music have proven blessings in disguise, making us strive as nothing else would have to fear God and keep His commandments. Our eldest boy is in a bluegrass town making his own way, armed with a wolf stored mind. The remaining two sons are still in the home ness, a pretty cottage, built on a small farm of eighty four acres. So, little mothers, especially busy country ones, I, who have known and still know, all the stress and strain of a would be righteous woman's share, bid you a loving God-speed. Treasure as the most sacred duty committed to you, the keeping of these human souls. Of such is the kingdom of Heaven," said the greatest teacher of our New Testament. Teach them cloudiness is next to Godliness in mind as well as body—even more so according to the inspired writers. Teach them the high value of good literature as early in life as they seem capable. Read with them well written stories of the Bible. As they grow older give them books by such authors as G. A. Henty and Horation Alger, for your boys, and for your girls and boys, such writers as Miss Alcott, Rosa N. Carey, J. Fenimore Cooper, John Esten Cooke and so on. Read yourself The Prince of the House of David, Hugo's Lea Miersables, Ben Hur and any other good books you can find. I always read white I am obscuring and never Press. notfect any other duty for this pleasure. Repulse, with motherly counsel, every thought of any "love all it" between more children. If there is any one thing more disgusting than any other of the present age it is this "sweetheart business" between young children. However I think it also gether an error to prohibit them playing freely together, but would have them oblivious of the sex part as long as they can be trusted for purity in all their games. Watch must be our duty as well as pray and as our girls blossom into womanhood let us still cherish as a holy task the proving to them that their bodies are the temples of their souls, too accred to be carelessly handled by any men. Thus prayerfully taught and guided from babyhood, I think in deep enough to go, in our instructions to them of the mysteries of life. My printed mother went no further and her counsel proved sufficient for all needs. Wiser once may differ with me, but "To err is human, to forgive is divine," and all our lives are a "patchwork of folly and wisdom," to be finally passed on by illion who commands "children, obey your parents" and "Fathers, provoke not your children last they be discouraged." -Optimist, in Louisville, Ky., Home and Farm. TWO YOUNGSTERS TURNING BLACK. In adjoining cots in the infant ward of the children's homeopathic hospital in Philadelphia, are two eighteen months old toys, twin brothers, both afflicted with a rare malady that is attracting the attention of medical man throughout the city. The boys are slowly turning black, and at the present time the disease has reached a stage where the little chaps present the appearance of being two thirds Caucasian, to which division of the human race they belong by birth, and one third Ethiopian. The twins are Tony and Powell Amato. They were admitted to the hospital on June 29th last. At that time the skin of their faces had begun to assume a dark tint and since then has been slowly spreading and deepening in color until now their these are of a chocolate hue and the discoloration extends to the lower part of the chest. Their legs and feet are of the natural, pinkish white color. The youngsters do not seem to suffer any pain. The disease from which the twins are suffering has been diagnosed, after careful laboratory tests as 'psycholakemia'. What the outcome of the case will be the physicians decided to hazard even a guess. No medical or surgical treatment is possible and the only reliance is in good nourishment." SNAKE BITE CURABLE It is stated that about 20 000 persons are bitten annually by the corpse of India, and until a short time ago these bites were generally fatal, but the discovery of an antitoxin has been the means of cutting down the number of deaths very materially. The same statement applies to the several hundred which are bitten each year by the poisonous snakes of this country. The discovery of this remedy was due to the activities of the Pasture Institute in Paris, Dr. Raymond Dumas, director of the aquatic department, New York. BY GAIN." Anecdotal Literature BY W. G. BE PREPARED A certain Grecian warrior, wheretoever he walked, was thinking of battles. He asked himself continually, if he should be attacked on such or such a place, how he would dispose of his army for defence. So a Christian should always be thinking how to meet the attacks of the devil and his army. When heavenly things take up our souls, our souls will soon be taken up to heaven. NATURAL PHILOSOPHY. Teacher—"Now I have explained to you class, the nature and effects of heat and cold, telling you that heat expands and cold contracts objects in nature. Will any one of the class give me an example?" Bright boy—"Please, Sir,—heat expands the days in Summer and makes them longer, and the cold in winter contracts them and makes them shorter." SCOTCKED. An English general was in company whose some Scotchmen were present. After supper, when the wine was served up, the general rose and addressed the company in the following words: "Gentlemen, I must inform you that when I get a little too much drink, I have an absurd custom of railing against the Scotch, I hope no gentleman in company will take it amiss." With this he sat down. A Scotch gentleman immediately rose, and without seeming the least displeased, said: "I, when I have drunk rather freely, and hear any person railing against the Scotch, have an absurd custom of kicking him out of the company, I hope no gentleman will take it amiss." It is said that on that occasion, the Scotchman had no opportunity for the exercise of his talents. Stage Manager—"I can't get the girl who plays the heroine in deadly peril to scream on if she honestly meant it." Leading Man—"Never mind; when we get to that part in the scene, just tell her, there's a caterpillar on her neck, and she'll scream all right."

Judging by the way white men are violating their women in the South these days, they must have neglected to blacken themselves before doing their nefarious work, or they would have been published to the world as "black beasts, brutes, and devils." Negroes everywhere should band together for one common good, because conditions for us are growing tighter every day. It is now a "survival of the fittest," and if the blacks don't entwine themselves one to the other, sailing is going to be hard for them in future. As we have seen it, and we have tried to look at it, squarely and fairly, it seems that it was none of our affairs to meddle in those of Mexico. War is certain, and big us our country ie, bloodabed will reign for more than a dozen years. That Japan will hit us on the West no same man denies, and with the Philippines and Hawaii in her power, woe be to America for causing a war on God's color of men. It does not necessarily hold good that Harry K. Thaw was a born degenerate, but its plainly seen that the money he had at his disposal made him one, and it did not stop there, for it digraced the great state of New York and subverted the plane and purposes of law. Had Thaw been a poor man the electric chair would have silenced him forever long ago. No wonder it is said that money is the root of all evil. Since editors Whitticco and Hill, of the McDowell Times, are to be killed for exposing rottenness in that neck of the woods, guess we had better keep a funeral-going suit in readiness, and we shall not have it pressed &c., for barking dogs seldom bite, and whenever such do, the person's bit are always caught in the real — running causes it. Don't flunch, nor yield an inch; "Fight it out on that line if it takes all summer." The Cincinnati Union, Prof. W. P. Dabney, editor, contained an article in the August 16 issue written by our conferee, which controverted some of the mean things said about colored people by United States Senator James K. Vardaman, of Mississippi, and we wish it was possible for it to be read by every Negro in the land. It is one of the finest and most comprehensive arguments ever penned by a human being, and gives Mr. Dabney his rightful due—the eagle of Cincinnati. Hon. William Sulzer may be impeached. Paul and Silas were put in prison, but they live honored in history while their persecutors are hated, and will be for all time. The case most vividly brings to our mind the rescals who had carnally known the harlot and then themselves accused her of the crime before Jesus, who stopping and writing on the sand, "he that is without fault cast the first stone," and when he raised up and saw none of her own seducers, said—"Woman where art thy accusers?" They have fled, she re- plied. "Go in peace and sin no more," said the Savior, and what a shame for Tammany to make charges of corruption. The frequency with which white men are committing rapes upon the females of their own race in this section of the country is startling, to say the least. The real black rape fiend hereabouts has never been a possession, but the white violators of white women, girls and wee tots in Berkeley, Jefferson and numerous other counties of West Virginia are plentiful. The next Circuit Court of our County will have three rape cases to consider, and not one of the things, call domen, and charged with these heinous crimes by the guardions of the law, are BLACK. A record for the law abiding qualities of our people of which we are very appreciative, and a flat contradiction of the defamatory statements made about the innate immorality of Negroes by such groes orators as Cole Blesse, Jim Vardaman and poor old Ben Tillman. It gives the Pioneer Press great pleasure to herald to the world that the Cleveland, Gazette, is 31 years old. A great record, and one of which the Gazette and its fearless editor, Hon. Harry C. Smith, are justly proud. During all of these long years the Gazette has never faltered when the race's welfare was at stake. It has been a valiant champion at all times, and whether the stakes were large or small, sincerity and bravery have ever been watchwords with the "old reliable Gazette." It has been a newspaper with an opinion, a truth seeker and teller, and as a safeguard of the rights of colored Americans it has had, during all of its long and honorable career, few equals and no superior. This excellent newspaper has had the world as its field, but the City of Cleveland, and the State of Ohio have had its special attention, and that it has done its duty in a manner that will admit of no possible criticism, is a fact cheerfully acclaimed by all who know the one and only Harry C. Smith. When Jim Vardaman tells the world that Negroes have no brain and are not susceptible to scholastic improvement, he preaches the gospel of Calhoun, who declares that Negroes had no souls, and that he would never believe it, till one could read and translate Greek. Had the poor old fool lived a little longer he could have read—if he himself could read the language—a Greek Grammar, written by a genuine black man, Prof. W. S. Scarborough, President of Witberforce University, Xenia, Ohio, and who graduated from the same school that Calhoun did. May Jim Vardaman, in God's own time, fare the fate of Calboun, who, when sitting up till a late hour writing against his own government, God sent the spirit of Washington, who struck his hand, marked and withered it. After recovering from the blow, he opened his door and seeing a bell boy, said: "did you see Mr. Washington?" No sir. Why he just left my room. He slept none that night and next morning when he appeared at the clerk's office, the clerk said; Mr. Calboun what is the matter? He retold the story, showed the bruises on his hand, and shortly sickened and died, and his successor did the same, and may a similar fate be Jim Vardaman's and all of his successors who believe as he claims he does, is the sincere wish of the Pioneer Press. EDUCATION NOTES Enlisted men in the American Navy serve as teachers in the Island of Guam. Teachers in the Province of Ontario receive a subsidy of $30 per year if they maintain school gardens. A cooperative egg-selling associ- tion, with the schoolhouse as the place for gathering eggs, the children to bring them in, and the teacher to supervise sales, is suggested by W. J. Shuford, of Hickory, N. C. Of 1.100 cases of removal from country to city personally investigated by T. J. Coates, supervisor of rural schools in Kentucky, more than 1000 were caused by a desire for better school, church, and social advantages. Marked progress in Alabama high schools is reported to the United States Bureau of Education. In 1908 there were 50 high schools, few of them with courses of more than 3 years in length; now there are 132 institutions doing high school work, all but 14 of which have full 4 year courses. That the country church can and ought to lead in the campaign for better elementary public schools, for larger school revenues, for more enlightened ideals of school efficiency, for larger enrollment, better attendance, and less illiteracy in the rural regions, is declared in resolutions recently adopted by a conference on the country church. Agricultural engineering is becoming a highly important subject in the agricultural colleges, according to figures compiled by F. B. Jenks of the United States Bureau of Education. Twenty of the State colleges now give specific instruction in this subject for prospective farmers. The State Agricultural College of Utah has a 4 year course in agricultural engineering, and Pennsylvania State College gives a course in industrial engineering, which includes farm engineering. "Rural illiteracy in the South is largely the result of an economic condition and will not disappear until this economic condition changes," declares E C. Branson, of the State Normal School at Athens, Ga. They say in the South that it takes 13 months of the year to raise, pick and market a crop of cotton. Children are useful and in demand throughout the year. The children of the tenant farmer do not have time to go to school—or so the tenant commonly believes. AN ORIGINAL SHORT STORY FOR BOYS. Continued from first page. lad I got a cable this morning from Larmonte telling us that your dear mother has been located at Natobez, Mississippi, and that a letter with particulars is on its way. The little fellow's eyes brightened and then he became suffused with tears, exciting the sympathy of all the company. Cheer up Phillip, said Miss Claudine, patting him on cheeks. You will soon see your dear mother. We shall bring her here to you, and you both will be very happy. Then you can go to school and get an education and become a great man. Phillip wiped away his tears, and smiled his thanks for the assurance given that he was to see his dear mother some day soon, and would be permitted to go to school to get an education—a thing upon which his heart was fixed, and about which he dreamed. "Would you really like to attend school my little lad?" asked Dr. Hodder. 'Dead I would cab, answered he eagerly, and what would you like to be when you are a man? 'Ab would like to learn to speak pieces fo' a whole passell o' people lak dem white men ab seen down home once 'at was etenio on a flat form waving deir arms and doin lak dis—here Phillip left his chair at table and striking an attitude showed that he had been a close observer of the features of campaign ornate whom he had seen, and beard speak down home. He could not remember their words in detail. All he could think was, "Mr. Cheermen, ab am heah today to 'scuse de issues ob dis campane, and to point out to you de duty ob ev'y dimicrat in de foth-com locshun." Then he scattered gestures and grinned ludicrously to the intense amusement of his audiore, and sat down. Well Phillip, said Captain Coverdale, like most of your race, you possess the gift of oratory, and since your heart is set on becoming a public speaker, we will have to assist you to realize your life dream. My sisters will take care of your primary education and prepare you for school, and Dr. Hodder here tells me that when you are prepared to enter school he will take you in his school for boys where you will have every opportunity to make a man of yourself. Phillip who had now become thoroughly at home and free from stage fright, said Cap'n deed yo all don't know how happy I is. I caint zackly tell you how I feele, cos I don't know how to 'spress mabeh. Ab kin unnerstan yo' all, but yo all caint just unnerstan my language. But abm gwine to say dis, at of yo all gives me a chance fer to get a eddicashun and will let me see my mammy once mo' ahl show yo wat a black boy kin do wen he has a chance. Lord knows ahl study hard cos ah wants to be somebody ah does. You shall have the chance my lad, said Miss Clarice, we'll send you to Eton, or Oxford, and when you will have graduated you will be a well rounded—well educated man. It will be a pleasure for us all to help such an earnest and determined lad to break the shackles of ignorance and to lift himself above the groveling things of earth. Tomorrow we shall begin to lay the foundation of the future career of Master Phillip Eagleaton said Miss Clarice. Now we will go to the parlor gentlemen, she said for Claudine and Grace are going to sing a duct, Come brother, and you Phillip. Doctor Hodder you will please escort the artist to the drawing room, she said with a merry twinkle in her kindly blue eyes. The doctor eagerly complied as he was a bachelor priest with a good living and he had a very tender feeling for the captain's pretty sister Claudine. On the next day Phillip entered school. In our next chapter we will tell how these kind ladies taught him how to open the door of knowledge and with what keen delight he continued to open it wider and wider. To Be Continued NEEDN'T WEAR WHITE SUITS. Spotless Linen Impedes Offoore' Work In Navy Yards, Daniels Heare Washington.—Democratic simplicity has taken another long stride forward. Navy officers in natty white uniforms will no longer be seen painfully and nervously performing their duties in machine shops and storehouses in navy yards, where every move may threaten to soak their spotlessness. In the course of a recent conversation with Colonel George W. Goethals, chief engineer of the Panama canal, when the latter was in Washington, Secretary Daniels asked if it was not irksome for the army officers on the isthmus to wear white uniforms all the time. "It surely is," replied Colonel Goethals, "and when a man is all the time afraid he will get his clothes dirty he is no good whatever for any kind of work." Acting on this philosophical suggestion, Secretary Daniels when inspecting navy yards has asked the officers on duty if they enjoyed being in their uniforms while at work in the shops and storehouses. The unvarying answer has been that they would be very glad to get rid of them. The secretary then inquired what sort of clothes they would like to wear while at work, and every time the answer has been overalls. Officers like to show workmen how to do things. But to take hold of a machine lathe or a drill press and run it when one is dressed in immaculate white linen is expensive. So Secretary Daniels issued an order to commandants of navy yards to permit officers on duty under them to wear civilian clothes while on duty. JOHNNY GREEN WILL FLY AGAIN. Chattanooga, August 22—Special The Chairman of the Grand Army Entertainment Committee,has closed a contract with Johnny Green, famous Cardui birdman and waterfowl, to make three flights in Chattanooga during the G A R Reunion, to be held in Chattanooga September 15-20. Green is the man who made the record flight in Cardui Flyer No. I over Lockout Mountain during the U. C. V. Reunion last May. He was the first man to attempt that dangerous flight, refused by so many other prominent aviators. A feature of this exhibition next month will be a flight in his Cardul Flyer No. 2, equipped with hydroplanes, up the Tennessee River. This will be the first hydroplane flight ever made by any Southern aviator. Visitors to the G. A. R. Reunion will do well not to miss these flights by the famous aviator, free to all, and should look out for the dollar bills, which he drops among the crowds below, as he goes hurtling through the air.

NEGRO YEAR BOOK, 1913. The "Fiftieth Anniversary Edition" of the Negro Year Book was put on sale on or about July 15th. An attempt has been made to make this edition of the book a miniature encyclopedia of the Negro race. The author, Monroe N. Work, who has charge of Records and Research at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, has enlarged, revised, indexed and brought all the facts about the Negro in America down to date. Every name, fact, or event, which anyone interested in the progress of the race needs to know, will almost certainly be recorded or referred to in this book. A new and complete index makes all these facts which were formerly sometimes lost sight of under chapter headings, easily accessible. An enlarged and carefully classified list of articles and publications on the Negro furnishes the reader with references to any phase of Negro life or the Negro problem. If there is anything about the Negro which you want to know and do not find recorded in this book, write to the editor, enclosing a stamped envelope, and he will either tell you what it is or indicate where the information may be found. Some special features of the 1913 Negro Year Book are: A review of the progress of the race during the past fifty years; The Negro in 1862 and 1912, The race problem in America, Europe, and Africa; Progress of the Negro in the church, education, business and the professions. The latest census statistics: The movement and dislocation of the Negro population; The Negro and disease, vital statistics in town and country; Negro crime and Negro lynchings; Negro farms and farmers. Directories: Names and locations of Negro banks, schools, periodicals, and benevolent and fraternal, and national organizations. The Negro in history: The principal names and dates in the history of the American Negro; Legal definition of a Negro in different states; Civil status in different states of Negro in slavery and freedom; Legal discriminations of the various states against the Negro. The price per copy will be the same as for the 1912 edition, 25 cents; by mail 30 cents. A considerable reduction will be made to persons desiring ten or more copies NEGRO YEAR BOOK CO.

Washington, Ga.—There was placed on record in the office of the clerk of Wilkes county what is considered the most unusual mortgage ever recorded in this or any other county. The security named in the recorded instrument consists of the following valuable property—to wit: "Nine chicken hens, two sow hogs and a 32 caliber pistol." The amount of the debt this secured is $23, and it is provided that if the obligation is not met at maturity the property mentioned therein shall be sold at public outcry. All home-stead exemption rights are waived by the maker of the mortgage. The question is being asked, "Does this mortgage emphasize the increasing value of the 'hog and hemliny' propaganda, or is it but another indication of the extreme stringency in the land about which so much has been sold and written--which?"

MAN OF MYSTERY MAY TELL PAST IN A MINGESOTA HOSPITAL Stranger Found Six Years Ago Has Never Been Able to Remember His Past—Operation Expected to Prove Successful—Identity Still Unknown. Minneapolis, Minn.—For more than six years "d. C. R.," the Minnesota "man of mystery," has been in the State Hospital For the Insane at Rochester, Minn. unable to talk, unable to remember his past, and in all that time not one person has appeared to claim him. Yet there is hope that the mystery will be solved. Recently physicians made an X-ray examination. While this revealed that there was no fracture of the skull, it was thought there might be a heart clot on the brain, so an operation was performed. The operation was considered successful, but the surgeons found such a degenerate condition of the brain cells that they give only slight hope that "J. C. K." will ever regain his normal faculties. However, there is just a chance. "We expect no sudden change or consational return of memory," said a doctor. What the outcome will be is problematical. A part of the memory cells of the brain has been destroyed by degeneration, but there is a possibility that there are sufficient cells remaining to restore the memory in part, at least. If possible the hospital authorities will teach the man to talk. With the large cyst removed there is assurance that the degeneration of the brain area will not increase and the remainder of the brain is unimpaired. He can therefore be taught to speak as a child is taught, it is believed. With the power of articulation, it is thought that he may be able to tell some of the facts of his life, which now he can communicate only by motions, and those very vaguely. "J. C. R." is not insane and has never been insane. He was picked up on the depot platform at Waseca, Minn., one night in June, 1907. How he got there no one knows. His right side from his temple to his foot was paralyzed. He could not say a word. He could not make persons understand him by gestures, nor could he understand anything that was said to him. He was a public charge, and as such was cared for by the county. Arrangements were made for him to live with a German family. He was attended by Dr. W. A. Chamberlain, but his case baffled the physician. Dr. Chamberlain gave up hope of his recovery, and on April 24, 1908, he was taken to the Rochester asylum. At the hospital he has always had his liberty. He is what is known as an observation patient who can be trusted. To see "J. C. R." once is to remember him. Although he cannot talk, he asks questions, as it were, with his large, intelligent brown eyes, which haunt one with their pitiful entreaty. He is about medium height. His black hair, which is brushed well off his forehead, is tinged with gray. He is apparently about forty-five years of age. Without his cane he has difficulty in walking. Still "J. C. R." is now able to make himself partially understood. By continual pointings to a map he gave the hospital surgeons the impression that he was the son of an admiral and had been an officer himself. He also indicated a spot near Baltimore as his home. Repeated inquiries to the naval department and Baltimore authorities brought many replies of lost persons, but none which would fit the case of "J. C. R." The United States navy has no record of a missing man who tallies with his description, yet "J. C. R." has been able to make the surgeons believe positively that he has served in the United States navy. The only thing he can write are the initials "J. C. R." Yet he does not seem to think at times that those are his initials, although they were found on his clothing. When asked about it he rubbed the injured side of his head and looked puzzled. This strange man has been a favorite at the hospital. He has fully realized his condition, but not for one moment does he permit himself to become morbid. He has a winning smile, which illuminates his whole countenance, but his face in repose is pathetic. The surgeons were able to make known to him what they intended to do, and by gestures "J. C. R." informed them that he welcomed the operation. COOK STOVES FOR POOR. Bequest of $10,000 Fifty-nine Years Ago Will Be Looked Up. Boston.—A hearing on a petition under the will of Thomas W. Sweetser, who died fifty-nine years ago, will be given in the Essex probate court, when an unusual provision—that of providing the poor of Salem with cook stoves—will get close attention. The will stipulated that $10,000 be paid to his native city, that this be put on interest at 6 per cent forever and that $600 be spent annually in buying stoves and utensils for the poor if his estate amounted to $30,000 or more. Trustees to be elected must supervise the administration of the charity and must keep on hand a supply of stoves of different sizes. Then, too, the trustees must keep on hand enough pipes for all the stoves. If the will was made public fifty-five years ago no official notice was taken, and the gift was forgotten. JINX IS DISCOVERED IN GERMAN'S CLOCK Amble City, La.—George Zollenburg returned to his home near this city after another ineffectual attempt to have the Jinx taken out of his grandfather's clock. The ancient timepiece is to blame for a long train of misfortunes that started Friday, June 13, 1913. The following details have been supplied by Mr. Zollenburg: The clock was brought to this country by Mr. Zollenburg from the fatherland. The old time mill had never missed a tick or let a second slip by unrecorded until noon on that fatal Friday. While waiting for dinner Zollenburg was surprised and alarmed to hear the old heirloom strike thirteen times for noon. "You'd better take that to some clock mender in Hammond," said the watch fixer, and he put his hand behind him as though the old timepiece were hot. Zollenburg took the clock to Hammond and, not wishing to have it fixed under false pretenses, told the jewelers there about its having struck thirteen. Neither of the Hammond clocksmiths would have touched the hoodoo with a fishing pole. Since then Zollenburg has taken the clock to every expert near here, only to have the job declined. That is not all. Here are a few of the things that have happened since, for which he blames the clock: His rich mother-in-law departed this life back in Germany without leaving him a red pfenug. His valued hen (the one that walks with a limp) deserted her nest after sitting patiently for two and a half weeks on thirteen—there it is again—thoroughbred Cochin china eggs. His hired girl eloped with his best stable hand. Twelve kittens fell in a well near his home and were drowned. His brindle cow Bossie gave birth to triplets, all of which were black as coal dust and males. PLANS FOR CELEBRATION. American Committee Will Erect United States-Canadian Memorial Arch. Duluth, Minn.-The American committee in charge of the celebration of 100 years of peace between English speaking peoples is planning a United States-Canada memorial arch or bridge as a feature of the event. The bridge will be located at the point where the Duluth and St. Vincent road will join the road to Winnipeg. It will be so placed as to command the junction of both roads with a road leading through North Dakota and South Dakota. A great lakes demonstration, participated in by ships of the United States and Canada, also is planned Hard Cider In Cistern. Bonner Springs, Kan.—The discovery of a cistern filled with hard cider on a farm near Bonner Springs has solved a mystery that has baffled the law officers of Wyandotte county for more than a year. Frequent complaints had been filed with the prosecuting attorney that many men and boys in this vicinity were being ruined by strong drink, but the utmost vigilance failed to disclose the source of liquor supply. The cistern was found by one of the prosecutor's assistants, disguised as a farm hand. The farmer who owned the cistern was enjoined from selling or making cider, and the cistern and its contents were destroyed. This is the age when the child dence man has full away.

CHICAGO, IL. ```markdown ``` Top Thirty Years THE PIONEER PRESS Has been the leader in this State and Nation for the grand and noble fight that is being waged for the amelioration of the condition of the Negro. The PIONEER PRESS was never known to lag or trifle in any matter where the interest of the race was involved. For this characteristic, THE PRESS should have the unsurviving support and encouragement of Negroes everywhere. It contains reliable news, interesting articles and clever special articles. It is safely recommended to you as a perfect newspaper for the home and family. IT LEADS in the quantity of original matter which it furnishes its patrons. IT LEADS in its spicy editorials and fearless sayings. IT LEADS in its general, local and miscellany pages. TAKEN all in all, we don't feel that we are exaggerating when we state that The PIONEER PRESS is one of the best all around weekly papers in this country today. WE ARE not alone in making this statement, for some of the best and most prominent men of the United States have done likewise. These persons above referred to, were not conned to one particular race, either, but to both. THE PIONEER PRESS Has the LARGEST city circulation— The LARGEST Foreign circulation— The LARGEST domestic and general circulation— The LARGEST county and rural circulation of any Negro newspaper in the United States— Has the LARGEST Anglo Saxon circulation— WHY IS THE ABOVE SO?
