THE PITTSBURGH COURIER. VOL. II. NO. 19. POLITICAL CHAT AT THE CAPITAL W. D. Johnson to Conduct Work on Forest Preservation. VERNON UP FOR OFFICE AGAIN. Much Speculation as to Whether Ralph W. Tyler Will Success Himself as Auditor For Navy Department—Hon. W. J. Bryan Delin's Stirring Address Before Y. M. C. A. Washington.—Hon. W. D. Johnson, who was a special agent in the interior department, has been transferred to a special agency in the department of agriculture, which is now connected with the forestry bureau. He will have charge of a campaign of education among the colored people in teaching them all about the important subject of forest preservation. Mr. Johnson is fully qualified to perform his new duties with credit. It is rumored that former Register Vernon will receive some position soon in the nature of a special agency, the duties of which will require his traveling about the country considerably. The mention of the name of Mr. Vernon recalls the fact that but few reappointments have been made by President Tift. For instance, Vernon, who was register of the treasury, failed of reappointment and was succeeded by Napler; Dancy, who was recorder of deeds; failed of reappointment and was succeeded by Henry Lincoln; Johnson; Lyons, who was minister to Liberia, failed of reappointment and was succeeded by Crum, and there are several other minor instances. Auditor For the Navy, Ralph W. Tyler is the next man whose term will soon expire, and attention is now directed as to whether or not he will succeed himself. Although his term does not expire until June, it is known that HOM. RALPH W. TYLER. several men of prestige in different parts of the country have been or are thinking of "stirring their castors" for this $4,000 per annum position. Tyler is the second colored man to hold this position. John it. Lynch, a former congressman from Mississippi, now a paymaster in the army, was the first. He held the position under the administration of President Harrison. This auditorship is one of the six auditorships that come under the treasury department. Washington has been visited by scores of colored Democrats since the opening of the special session of congress—gloss of New York, Manning of Indiana, Tussell of Pennsylvania and other colored Democrats of more or less note. Some of them have their eyes on committee messengerships and other signs around the capitol. This minority in the house (now the Republicans) will no doubt do all within their power to save as many of the colored employees as possible. However, owing to the big cut in the employees mates at the Democraticaucus it is safe to say that a number of the old employees will be cut off the payroll. Banquet to Register J. C. Napier. Tennesseeans in Washington are preparing to give a banquet to Hon James C. Napier, the register of the treasury. Mr. Napier is from Nashville and is well known to all Tennesseeans. His home, where several colored universities are located, has always been recognized as one of the Nashville houses where collegians are always welcome. There is quite a contingent of universities here holding government clerkships and prominent in the business and professional life of Washington, and they will give Mr. Napier a hearty welcome. Added to them Tennessee and are many graduates of south Tennessee schools like Fish, Mennery, Roger Williams, Washburn and other institutions of that state, we feel that they are some loyalty to that state. Hon. William Jennings Bryan, the great Tennessee leader, addressed the colloid Y.M.C. A show at one of his Sunday meetings recently in the now Howard theater. The theater was packed to its utmost capacity with an audience made up entirely of men to hear the distinguished Nebraska star Mr. Bryan was welcomed by Dr. C. Jennings Bryan, the mayor of Companion by the owner of the theater. Mr. C. Jennings Bryan is holding a livestock show in New York, office of Association Men, Secretary D. E. Cooper, the first wife of Y.M.C. A and Irene. A Birth of New York Attention to new business commit ject, declared that it is definition of civilization was the intrinsic development of men, notably, physically and mentally. In an important address of thirty minutes Mr. Bryan discussed this threefold development of man. Time and gain at the "peerless leader" proceeded was he interrupted with applause which lasted until Colonel Bryan raised his hand in protest. Secretary Lewis Johnson of the local colored, Y. M. C. A. presided and introduced Mr. Bryan. The other speaker was Rev. C. A. Barbour of New York, a noted Baptist divine. Dr. Barbour's address made a great impression, over fifty men responding to his appeal to them to lead better lives. The Elks' Glee club, under the direction of Lewis Ambler, rendered two selections, while Professor J. Henry Lewis and Professor J. T. Layton led the congregational singing. Great credit is due the Y. M. C. A. managers for the progress of the work. The Sunday meetings are quite a feature of Washington life. They have had in the past and have on their future program some of the best white and colored speakers in the country. MRS. GEORGE W. CLINTON. Interesting Story of the Busy Life of a Bishop's Wife. Charlotte, N. C.-To enter fully into the affairs of one's husband to the extent that he will be inspired and benefited by such evidence of devotion is concretely displayed in the life of one of the leading women of the race in the person of Mrs. George W. Clinton, the talented wife of Right Rev. George W. Clinton, D. D. She is a model for the young women of the race in that she is sacredly devoted to the duties of home and in work for the uplift of the young. The education received by this accomplished woman at the Central Alabama academy and at Clark university, where she graduated with honors, has prepared for the race the kind of woman that is needed to help develop the young women of the race and contribute to the forward movements for the uplift of humanity. The influence of Mrs. Clinton was disseminated in her native state as a pedagogue soon after completing her education. She is known throughout Alabama as one of the race's best educators. While attending Clark university her rich voice attracted those of the A. MRS. GEORGE W. CLINSTON. institution especially interested in vocal culture and because the eyresure of the eyes of the music covers of Atlanta because of the training received at this school, which developed a high soprano voice. She filled her engagements so creditably that she soon was sought to join professionals, finally becoming a member of the renowned Loudin Fisk, jubilee singers. She gained an enviable reputation for herself. Today wherever a conference is held or any musical of especial note is given in the city of Charlotte, N.C., she is the leading character. When the bishop is in his office Mrs. Clinton spends some time with him. She is in touch with every department of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church. 'She is elegantly qualified to fill the positions of a number of general officers of her church at the conferences of the bishop. She often represents at one conference the following boards: Church extension, general fund, benevolence, mission and general treasurer. The Buds of Promise of the A. M. Z. E. church is a tenetial movement, when the scope of the work is pursued. The tenets of the church taught the children, and a conception of living a life of service is given them in particular in memorial. This journal society urges that the connection is superintended by Mrs. Clinton, who loved by the children and is the students of the church. The Women's Federation of Chas in North America is doing a work that is redefining with Mrs. Clinton as president. From: Section Hand to Engineer. It may not be generally known, but nevertheless it is a fact, that a colored man possesses in the throttle of an engine that is one of the fastest trains on the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburgh, says the Norfolk (VA) Journal and Guide. His name is William G. Prentice of Illinois, Ind. He runs between that city and Columbia. Of Mr. Prentice has been in the employ of the company for over thirty five years. He has as a section hand and was adjudged from grade to another in increased in skill and efficiency until he was appointed to a passenger engineer about twenty years ago.

Thomas and Mr. John H. Murphy, Jr., an instructor of printing in the Colored High school. The ceremony was performed by Rev. George Griffith, rector of the parish. Mr. Henry Thomas, father of the bride, gave her away. The bride was becomingly attired in a tailor made suit of champagne broadcloth and wore a hat of black and white straw trimmed with pink roses. The bridesmaid was Miss Alice Thomas, a sister of the bride. She was attired in a gown of delicate canary messaline and wore a neapolitan hat. The best man was Carl J. Murphy, a brother of the groom. The ushers were Messrs. Lloyd Thomas, a brother of the bride; D. Arnett Mur- MRS. JOHN H. MURPHY, JR. Phy, John Hampton, W. W. Hughes, Walter J. Thornton and James A. B. Calls.

Besides his duties as a teacher the groom is associated with his father, John H. Murphy, in the publication of the Afro-American Ledger. A reception, attended by the leading residents of the city, followed at the residence of the bride, 1100 Druld Hill avenue. The presents, which were numerous and handsome, included many gifts in silverware. Mr. and Mrs. Murphy are now spending their honeymoon in Montgomery county. Md. They will be "at home" at 1314 Druld Hill avenue after May 1. ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK FOR TRUE REFORMERS. Mayor Richardson and Other City Officials Indorce Present Management. If certain indications showing the interest of the white citizens in Richmond, Vn., and their contributions to the redemption fund for rehabilitating the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, are to be considered substantial evidence of the order regaining its former prestige thousands of people will rejoice at the outcome. We, the undersigned, believe it is the duty of every citizen of Richmond to do everything in his or her power to help save the True Reformers because of the untold good the situation has for the colored people of this city, state and country. We have confidence in the present management and believe that all contributions will be properly applied. Signed: S. B. Witt, judge of Hustings court. B. W. Lawrence, attorney H. M. Smith, attorney at law, Ben T. August, clerk of the city of Richmond; James B. Doherty, commissioner of labor; W. T. Dahney, secretary chamber of commerce; James B. Pace, treasurer of City Richmond; R. C. Lawler, son of F. W. Lawler & Sons, Inc., printer; Edgar Allen, Jr., postmaster; D. C. Richardson, mayor of Richmond. A campaign to raise $37,000 was started by the officers of the fraternity in February after the extra session. The officials expect to raise the money by May 1. A statement by the head of the order shows that $65,713.72 has been raised since the failure of the bank in October, and that about $30,000 has been paid for death claims. This shows that thousands of members are standing by the order. There is quite a sentiment among the white people that the fraternity will profit by its present embarrassment and will ultimately become stronger than ever before. One of the worthy grand officers said: "It may be said without successful contradiction that there is no other organization in the race which could equal that" referring to the amount of money raised, "having the trouble on it that the True Reformers have been carrying. This speaks well for the brotherhood." --- Young Men's League Organized.

STEIN Explains Position on Bass Amendment. Harrisburg, Pa., April 19. Harrisburg, Pa., April 19. Fittsburg Courier. Pittsburg. Gentlemen:— An editorial of your paper has been shown to me, commenting on the failure of myself and Mr. Woodward to vote on the Bass Bill before the Legislature. Mr. Bass informs me that he has written you the facts in the case and I also wish to state that our failure to vote, was not at all intentional, but merely happened because we were, at the time actually engaged in very important committee mork. I need hardly state to you that the writer has given this bill more assistance than probably any other member of the House, excepting only Mr. Bass, and would gladly have voted for it. Your criticism of us is therefore neither fair nor warranted. I fully recognize and appreciate many personal friends that I have among the colored race, as well as the active support they gave me in the campaign; and he indeed would be an ingrate who would refuse to vote for a bill so thoroughly American and fair.

Wylie and Logan PITTSBURG WM. T. WARD, PROPRIETOR. WHERE JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER HIDES BULK OF HIS IMMENSE TREASURE New York.—The long and closely guarded secret as to where John D. Rockefeller preserves his stacks of stocks and bonds has been disclosed at last. The bulk of his immense treasure of collateral, estimated at $200,000,000, is in a specially constructed bomb, burglar and fire proof built under the northeast corner of the New York Produce exchange. Entrance to it is gained from Beaver street, a stone's throw from the Standard Oil headquarters, at 26 Broadway. Between the street opposite and the respostories of the Rockefeller fortune are ten locks yarled in character. Once in front of the iron vault, the largest of its kind in the world devoted to collecting the properties of a single person, there is on view a page not at all unlike that in which Captain Dreyfus was confined at Devil's island. Two of the locks are padlocks, one upon each of the two combination locks visible from the exterior from the closed door of the vault. These two padlocks are usually opened with a key in the hands of President William H. Person of the safe deposit company, which turning, releases the dial of each of the common locks, and permits the latter to be set by two men from Mr. Rockefeller's private office. One of the two is Mr. Rockefeller's financial secretary, while the other is a man he trusts equally as well. Each has a different combination to the lock. There are six tumblers on each lock. The numbers run from 1 to 100, which makes each lock susceptible to one or many changes. The only way to change the numbers of Mr. Rockefeller's vault is to know the old numbers. As for the men who open the cupboard and the lower combination lock, neither of the two can set his part of the bolts of the iron door until the padlocks have been released by the third. It is impossible for anybody to pick these combination locks. The door of the vault is moved by hand and it opens easily, owing to its swinging upon a compound double goose crane hinge, which is carefully balanced on ball and roller bearings, made of the finest hardened tool steel. This permits the door to swing lightly, although it has the weight of nine tobs. The interior of the vault is nine feet wide, nine feet high and fifteen feet deep. The wall of the vault has a thickness of forty inches. In the center of 35 inches of concrete are 90 sound steel rolls, set six inches apart in double rows, interlocked so as to be practically three inches apart. The remaining four inches of the wall are four inches thickness of solid steel. Looking towards the interior of the vault there are arranged upon either side numerous compartments of small safes. There are from fifteen to twenty of these varying in sizes. Two combination locks guard each. Having swing back the steel door of one of the inner chests, there are revealed small steel steel boxes of a thickness MANAGER Yours respectfully. A. C. STEIN. --- LOBSTER NEWBURG. Bishop H. B. Parks In Address Makes Deep Impression on Members of the Board In Referring to Great Work of the Late Bishop Abraham Grant—The Report by Episcopal Districts. Reports submitted by Rev. Dr. John Hurst, financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal church, at the thirtieth annual meeting of the financial board of the denomination held in Washington on Wednesday, April 19, showed that $201,753.26 was raised in "dollar money" in 1910. This is an increase of over $3,000 in the money raised last year through the 1. game channel and $24,000 more than was reported in 1000, when Dr. Hurst made his first annual report. The session was called to order by Bishop Parks, who is filling the position of chairman of the board, held by the late Bishop Abraham Grant. Bishop Parks made a marked impression in the short address that he delivered, especially when he spoke with feeling of the services rendered the denomination by his late predecessor. In submitting his report Dr. Hurst made a number of recommendations for the successful carrying on of the work of the department. He also called attention to the financial status of the work of the church in West and South Africa. The report by episcopal districts presided over by the following bishops was: First, Wesley J. Gaines ... 115,526.55 Second, Levi J. Coppin ... 15,521.55 Third, W. B. Derrick ... 6,535.60 Fourth, T. S. Tanner ... 15,035.48 Fifth, H. B.

Of this big sum raised in dollar subscriptions, 8 per cent ($16,148.26) was devoted to the educational work of the denomination, 10 per cent ($26,175.33) turned over to the board of church extension, and $72,446.18 retained by the various annual conferences for mission work* the care of superannuation ministers, widows and orphans. The members of the board are: Rev. A. L. Murray, Atlantic City; John T. Jenifer, Chicago; Charles Bundy, Cleveland, O.; A. J. Carey, Chicago; J. R. Bansom, Toppeka, Kan.; E. W.

Rapidly Recovering From Misfortune Caused by Fire a Few Years Ago—The Dixie Industrial Stock Company Organized. BY CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. Kowalilla, Ala.—The cornerstones of four new buildings at the Kowalilla school, in Elmore county, Ala., were formally laid during the Easter holidays, and within a few weeks these structures, now approaching completion, will be dedicated to the uses of a colored community that is "leveling up," to use the phrase of its leader, through the medium of simple education and well directed industry. The buildings take the place of those destroyed by fire some two years ago and are remarkable, inasmuch as they are the product of coloured workmen, who felled and sawed timber for them, made the shingles and joiner work and called upon the outside world for no materials save nails and hardware. Kowalilla differs widely from other colored schools in that it seeks not to train highly educated academic or industrial leaders for the race at large, but to develop the economic resources of a restricted territory by teaching the landowners and tenants how to take advantage of the opportunities open to them. Incidentally, their moral welfare is not neglected, and in the surrounding country, the Kowalilla people have the reputation of being law abiding as well as industrious. Without the advantages afforded by the school it is reasonable to assume that few of these people would have outgrown the ignorance in which they were bred, and without the industries that have sprung up to re-enforce the educational features of their life it is doubtful whether they could have progressed to any superior state along industrial lines. How Community Was Famous. The history of Kowalian community dates back forty years, when Joseph Benson bought 100 acres of land for having part of the plantation on which he had lived as a slave. He was a thrifty man and could turn his hand almost to anything. When he received his freedom he went to work for $10 a month and at the end of his first year he had saved $100. That was the way he accumulated money enough to purchase land. His wife was a government schoolteacher, one of the very first of her race, who had been sent into the county in the reconstruction period to impart to the colored people what little knowledge she had acquired. All of the Benson children received a sound education, and when the son, William E. Benson, returned to his home after graduating from. Howard university in 1805 he determined to see what he could do to raise the standard of living among his neighbors. They had little capital and their knowledge of modern agricultural methods was practically nil. Under the circumstances their children were destined to follow the same unprofitable path on the farm or suffer worse luck by driving to the city, unless their environment underwent a change. So Benson junior, in company with a classmate and teacher, called the farmers to the cabin schoolhouse where he got his rudimentary education and told them he wanted to give their children a grammar school education and a certain amount of industrial and domestic training. He wanted, he said, to develop their intent abilities so that they might become intelligent and thrifty. Lips were felted and cut in the sawmill owned by Benson senior; shingles were made and a kiln of brick was burned for the foundation and chimneys. Benson's father provided ten acres of land, and in two years the first building of Kowaliga school was completed. In 1000, four years after the school was opened, Benson put into effect his labor scheme by organizing the Dixie Industrial company, in which several northerners took stock. Some of them did not expect to see their money again, but were willing to make the experiment of building up an industrial community. A tract of 5,000 acres of virgin timberland was purchased at a low figure, and the plan to provide work the whole year through was developed along definite lines. There are about 1,000 people in the Kowaliga district, which is nine miles long and six wide, and of these about thirty families, representing one-quarter of the population, own their farms, on which they plant cotton and vegetables and raise stock and poultry. They are better housed today than ever before, because the sawnills they help to operate provide them with building materials at moderate prices, while the value of the land has doubled in ten years, owing to the exploitation of the district. The company has increased its holdings to 10,000 acres, and while it is turning over some of the cleared land, to the farmer it is also practicing conservation by reserving a certain proportion of its holdings for the development of a second growth of timber. WHEN A MAN MARRIES BY MARY ROBERTS RINEHART AUTHOR OF THE CIRCULAR STAIRCASE THE MAN IN LOWER TEN, ETC. COPYRIGHT 1909 BY THE BOBES-MERRILL COMPANY CHAPTER XI. (Continued.) "I saw you kiss her in the dining room, remember that?" Aunt Selina went on, giving the screw another turn. It was Selina's turn to be excited. She gave me an awful stare, then she fixed her eyes on Jina. "Besides," Aunt Selina went on, "you told me today that you loved her. Don't deny it, James." Bella couldn't keep quiet another instant. She came over and stood at the foot of the bed. "Please don't write yourself, dear Miss Carruthers," she said, into voice like ice. "Every one knows that he loves her; he simply overflows with it. It—it is quite a byword among their friends. They have been sitting together in a corner all evening." You, that was what she said; when I had no spoken to dinner the whole time in the den. Iella was catfish, and she was jealous, too. I turned on my level and went to the door; then I turned to her, with her hand on the knit. "You have been misinformed," I said goldily. "You can not possibly know, having spent three hours in a corner yours, if With Mr. Harissa." I alpher joiety in a woman. At midnight the house was fairly quiet, except for Jim, who kept walking around the hall because he couldn't sleep. I got up at last and ordered him to bed, and he the audacity to have a urticae with me, "look at my situation now?" he said, sitting resolute on a steam radiator. "Aunt Silina is angry. I only know why you sat inside den all evening; you might have known that Bella would notice it. Why couldn't you leave alone to my misery?" "Very well," I said, much offended. "After this I shall sit with Flannigan in the kitchen. He is the only gentleman in the house." I left him babbling apologies and went to bed, but I had an uncomfortable feeling that Bella had been a witness to our conversation, for the door into Ann Seltine's room closed softly as I passed. I knew beforehand that I was not going to sleep. The instant I turned out the light the nightmare events of the evening ranged themselves in a procession, or a series of tables, on after the other: Flannigan on the roof with the bracelet on his palm. looking accusingly at me: Mr. Harbison and the gone on the roof, with my flippancy; and the result of that flippancy—the man on the stairs, the arms that held me, the terrible kisses that had scorched my lips—it was awful. And then the absurd situation across Aunt Selina's bed, and Bell's face! Oh it was all so ridiculous—my having thought that the Harbison man was a gentleman, and finding him a cad, and worse. It was exacerbatingly funny. I quite got a headache from laughing: indeed I laughed 'until I found I was crying, and then I knew I was going to have an attack of strangulated emotion, called hysterical. So I got up and turned on all the lights, and bathed my face with cologne, and felt better. But I did not go to sleep. When the hall clock chimed two, I discovered I was hungry. I had had nothing since lunch-on, and even the thirst following the South American goulash was gone. There was probably something to eat in the pennery, and if there was not, I was quite equal to going to the basement. I ate bread and butter and drank milk, and was fast becoming a rational person again: I had pulled out one of the drawers, part way, and with a tray across the corner I had improvised a comfortable seat. And then I noticed that the drawer was full of soiled napkins, and I remembered the bracelet. I hardly know why I decide to go through the drawer again after Flannigan had already done it, but I did. I finished my milk and then, getting down on my knees, I proceeded systematically to empty the drawer. I took out perhaps a dozen napkins and as many dolllies without finding anything. Then I took out a large tray cloth, and there was something on it that made me look farther. One corner of it had been scorched, the clear and well-defined imprint of a W. F. ROGER I Was Quite Equal to Going to the Basement. hinted cigarette or cigar, a blackened streak that trailed off into a brown and yellow. I had a queer, trembling feeling, as if I wore on the brink of a discovery—perhaps Anne's pearls, or the cuff buttons with storks painted on calm in the center. But the only thing I found, down in the corner of the drawer, was a half-burned cigarette. The Roof Garden. I was quite ill the next morning—from excitement, I suppose. Anyhow, I did not get up, and there wasn't any breakfast. Jim said he roused Flannigan at eight, o'clock, to go down and get the fire started, and then went back to bed. But Flannigan did not get up. He appeared, sheepishly, at half-past ten, and by that time Bella was down, in a towering rage, and had buried her hand and got the fire started, and had taken up a tray for Aunt Selina and herself. As the others straggled down they boiled themselves o'clock or ate fruit, and nobody put anything away. Lollie Moeer made me some tea and scorch-dust, and I gutted it, about 11 o'clock. "I never see such a house," she declared. "A down house. Why couldn't put it in order. Why should every man that she lives drop nails wherever he hurts her." "That's the question of the ages," I replied languidly. "What was Max talking so horribly about a little while ago?" Lollie looked up aggrieved. "About nothing at all," she declared. "Anne told me to clean the bathtubs with oil, and I did it, that's all. Now Alex says he couldn't get it off, and his clothes stick to him, and if he should forget and strike a match in the—in the usual way, he would explode. He can clean his own tub to tomorrow," she finished vindictively. At noon Jim came in to see me, bringing Anne as a concession to I Was Quite Equal to Bella. He was in a rage, and he carried the morning paper like a club in his hand. "What sort of a newspaper lie would you call this?" he demanded irritably. "It makes me crazy; everybody with a mental image of me leaning over the parapet of the roof, waving a board, with the rest of you sitting on my legs to keep me from overblanding." "Maybe there's a picture!" Anne said hopefully. Jim looked. "No picture," he announced. "I wonder why they restrained themselves! I wish Bella would keep off the roof," he added, with fresh access of rage, "or wear a mask or veil. One of those fellows is going to recognize her, and there'll be the deuce to pay." "When you are all through discussing this thing, perhaps you will tell me what is the matter." I remarked, from my couch. "Why did you lean over the parapet, Jim, and who sat on your legs?" "I didn't; nobody did." he retorted, waving the newspaper. "It's a lie cut out of the whole cloth, that's what it is." I asked you girls to decent to those reporters; it never pays to offend a newspaper man. Listen to this, Kit. He read the article rapidly, furiously, pausing every now and then to make an exasperated comment. Attempt at Escape Frustrated—Members of the Four Hundred Defy the Law.

The party shut in the house includes Miss Katharine McNair, the daughter of Theodore McNair of the Inter-Ocean system; Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Brown, the Misses Morrison, Maxwell Red, the well-known clubman and whip, and a Mr. Thomas Harbison, master of the Dallas Browns and a South American. "Officer McCloud's story, told to a Chronicle reporter this morning, is as follows: The occupants of the house had been uneasy all day. From the air of subdued bustle, and from a careful inspection of the roof, made by the entire party during the afternoon, his suspicion had been aroused; Nothing unusual, however, occurred during the early part of the night. From eight o'clock to twelve McCloud was relieved from duty, his place being taken by Michael Shane of the Eighty-sixth street station. "When McCloud came on duty at midnight, Shane reported that about 11 o'clock the scareblight of a steamer on the river, flashing over the house, had shown a man crouching on the parapet, evidently surveying the roof across, which at this point is only 12 feet distant, with a view of making his escape. On seeing Shane below, however, he had beat a retreat, but not before the officer had seen him distinctly. He was dressed in evening clothes and wore a light tan overcoat. "Officer McCloud relieved Slame at midnight, and sent for a plain-clothes man from the station house. This man was stationed on the roof of the Levington residence next door, with strict injunctions to prevent an escape from the quarantined mansion. Nothing suspicious having occurred, the man on the roof it about 3 a.m. reporting to McCloud below that everything was quiet. At that moment, glancing skyward, one of the officers was tamed to see a long narrow board project itself from the coping of the Wilson house, waver unceriously for a moment, and then advance steadily toward the gapper across. When it was within a foot or two of a resting place, McCloud called sharply to the invisible refuge above, at the same time firing his revolver in the ground. "The result was surprising. The board stopped, trembled, swayed a little, and dropped, missing the vigilant officer by a hair's breadth, and crashing to the cement with a terrific force. An inspection of the roof from the Going to the Basement. Bevington house, later, revealed nothing unusual. It is evident, however that the quarantine is proving irksome to the inhabitants of the requested residence, most of whom are typical society folk, without resources in themselves. Their condition, without valets and maids, is certainly pitiable. It has been rumored that the ladies are doing their own hair, and that the gentlemen have been reduced to putting their own buttons in their shirts. This deployable situation, however, is unavoidable. "The vigilance of the board of health has been most commendable in this case. Beginning with a wager over the telephone that they would break quarantine in 24 hours, and ending with the attempt to span a 12-foot gulf with a board, over which to cross to freedom, these shut-in society tells have shown characteristic disgard of the laws of the state. It is quite time to extend to the millionaire the same strictness that keeps the computer at home for three weeks with the measles; that makes him not the milk bottles and groceries from the gatepost and small like denomination for a month afterward, as a result of disinfection." We sat in dead silence for a minute. Then: "Perhaps it is true." I said. "Not of you. Jim—but some one may have tried to get out that way. In fact, I think it extremely likely." "Who? Flannigan? You couldn't drive him out. He's having the time of his life. Do you suspect me?" "Come away and don't fight." Anne broke in pacifically. "You will have to have lunch sent in Jimmy; nobody has ordered anything from the abode, and I feel like old Mother Hubbard." (TO BE CONTINUED.) AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS THE COURIER The poor colored man and the gadget about negro woman should "go slow" on the excursion this year. Suppose we "cut out" the excursion altogether. Times are tight; and we need the life money we have to pay our debts and to meet our expenses. The Light respectfully urges negro pastors, teachers and race leaders to use their influence to keep the negroes from wasting their money on excursions. Many negroes borrow money from the money lenders (pawning all their household goods) simply to ride on an excursion and have a "big time" for two or three days. They combine and it takes many of them a year or more of hard work to pay the money lender back for the money borrowed for two or three days so-called pleasure trips. Again we say let it "cut out" the excursion, save our money, pay our debts, educate our children, buy homes, start dry goods stores, shop stores and other business enterprises like the white people. We have not the time or the money to waste on excursions. Let us "cut them out." Not until we do can we look for the sunlight of prosperity and happiness. —Vicksburg (Miss) Light. Unless some moral issue is at hand, it has been the conviction of the writer that no preacher has a right to dislike in politics. In recent years politics have attracted some of our preachers more so than politics and therefore they have almost turned down the church and now concentrate all their efforts towards pushing the claim of some office society. He even heads political leagues, and gives three-fourths of his time pushing the claims of his party rather than giving this time to died and the saving of wicked men and women. No preacher nowever great his literary attainments may be should be elevated to high offices in our churches if he has a disposition to dislike in politics. These political preachers have proven to be detrimental to the church, with which they are connected, because by them politics have been even carried into the church, and is the leading topic for discussion where ever they are in evidence. We need preachers in this day and generation to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There is a sufficient number of men of the race in other locations to take care of the political end.—Mississippi Judi Fellow. There are at least two ways of looking at men in images. Some preachers were discussing the death of a small snake. The cause of the catacrophe was clear enough to one of the men. The preacher died film caught too much attention. On all the other books linked his doctrines "Habit" he was taught, so careful that no one else did as much as him in chaptern. "Habit" was recorded the first "Habit" was written on top—"Habit" (1920) by Joseph. Willy was pressed over the details of the war so solid that San Antonio, Texas, he lived in for the works in which he was not the major soldier of the army yet learned to lie down in the disarray of the soldier's position. Responded? Have they not yet learned that as soldiers they must remain for peace and harmony between the two races? Have they not been taught that the white man is the ruling power and they must submit to get out? Then why should they continue raising strife and confusion, with the United States strips on? If experience has no efficiency or bearing upon the negro, of his country, he must make up his unit to be appointed to the war. What the mischievous white soldiers oil gives no authority to the negro. It looks to us that the negro soldiers are getting into the shiftless wagerer, and there should be no pity for them when they wilfully bring along confusion without a cause. Shannon S. C. Messenger.

The colored lawyer can no longer use his also. The colored doctor can no longer cure his complaints, in short, in all lines where he is allowed to spend his money with whites, there be can be found showing his ivories while being divested of his change. These grinning jackens truly make us tired.—Exchange. No one who has kept trend with current affairs for the last forty years would deny for one moment that the micro people have made great progress along many lines. They have abler educated ministers who preach the gospel in its highest and best sense. They compare very favorably in that respect with any other people. But it must be admitted that this number is in the minority rather than in the majority. There are far too many who do not do anything but mant and beat the air. And the Dispatch regrets to say that these have a greater following than the intelligent God-sent ministers. It is a case where ignorance is bliss, its folly to be wise." They drag down rather than build up. But there is a large minority who do credit to any race anywhere, and the Dispatch is glad to note that that number is greatly increasing. They are not those who believe that all you have to do is open your mouth and it will be filled by some miraculous power, but that you must prepare by hard study in some theological seminary or college. And they are making it less popular for the ignorant ministers who put their hands in their ears and whoo and heeler and imagine they have invented a good sermon. Then, too, the younger face is being educated and the growing intelligent and will have atan, kind of stuff. And hence it is only a question of time before that kind of ignorant and superstitious jacquem must give way for truth and spirituality. For those who worrisome God must do so in spirit and in truth. Quite a crop of doctors and some lawyers are being turned out yearly, and many of them are doing good work for their race and the community in which they live. They do not belong to the criminal class; very oldmom you hear of any of this class of Neuros committed any crime. They are self-respectful, and therefore, lawabiding. The only thing we find to criticize is their lack of unity among themselves. But we believe they are improving along this line. The Dispatch notes that since it took of their division last year, there seems to be a better understanding among them. They seem to understand one another, and work for the best good of their patients. As to what the Negro editors are doing, we only refer to the address delivered by Dr. Bocker T. Washington in New York before the Negro National Business League. He told the truth when he said, "that no people had made a greater sacrifice, are doing more good than the Negro editors." And he said that they, of all people, "ought to receive the patronage of our people." He said: "Without these papers, Negro enterprises never could have made the progress which they have." The true Negro junior not only succeeds on its own race, but both races. For it pursues the friendship between them. Of course there are exceptions. There are those that are familiar herewis; that always see the dark side rather than the bright, that the Dispatch is an optimist, and businesses in the future of the race. It further believes that the law abiding and God-fearing among our white neighbors want us to succeed and notwithstanding the rabid talks of the politician, we believe, that the best white people wish us well and that we will secure every right guaranteed us by the state and federal constitutions. The Dispatch further believes that industrious, law-abiding, and God-fearing as many of our people are need have any fear of their future. Let us not then be discouraged when things don't come our way at all times. Not every colored man who is bearded浸香 Negro enterprise, practices what he preaches, with his pocket book. We know of many instances in this city where these big-ish blunt hypocrites really annoy honest men with their clatter about race pride, whose every act tells their words. They will not buy five cents worth of ice from a Negro, and yet they are always singing the song of enterprise. While this lip service is everywhere decorating the sacred altar of selfless, the colored youth is leaving college with his head full of education and his hands full of emptiness. Outside of a few dark barbershop, restaurant and other enterprises of success, there's nothing doing in the way of offering employment to the Negro by the Negro. Let these double-dealing creature give their tongues a rest. Let us see something done and let a tail—Western Star.

As you might from the main encee nothing about you but blackness, there being woody-few few who are even fair enough to press for life. Should you have reason to take any insults, whistle, and especially touching any or own politics, you will invariably be a reward for your hands. And to see blanks you have merely to look around you. A with-distributed cut of pure African blood, with a small round head and smooth, shaping eyes, in general build the very pattern of Jack Johnson, will be seen justly displaying the loading of cotton, settling a dispute or hurrying away to the cotton gin or the oil mill, a $200,000 plant, now noaring completion under his direction—always busy, always ubiquitous, always brief, settling disputes as it were by a single stroke. As you most familiar and talk with him, I think you are still closely with the life of freelancers about realism. Skylinz, even stringy, with words, he nevertheless seems to know every moment just what is to be done in any given crisis. His easy, informal manner of writing his clothes seems to suggest at a glance a wardrobe to provide a tray or matters of more deliberative consequence; and I know him now, their several scores of work with him in all parts of the country and under many different circumstances. I cannot tell that he ever in any way seemed at a loss or in the slightest degree puzzled as to what to do in a crisis. As I have already indicated, Banks is the moving spirit of Mendel Bayon. It was the task of beach T. Montgomery, the ex-slave of Jeff Davies brother, to blaze the way in the forests and begin this prosperous settlement, but it has been Jeff for Charles Banks to clear the village of debt, to extend the boundaries of the town several hundred acres, and to give the whole community a genuine business character. He seems to be one of the few negro college graduates to apply himself to business in its largeness. A banker, a cotton broker, a dealer in real estate, and a farmer, he seems to have mastered thoroughly the financial secret that money increases itself and makes for service by frequent turning over.

In point of wealth among negroes, Negroes for outspoken any other state in the country, every city worth the money houses of its negro bankers and substantial business concerns among Negroes, Clarkston, Colum- Lincoln, New Hampshire, Yankee City, Buffalo, Yankees, and a half score at home will point to a flourishing bush and tame, substituting dry food and money in Chants. And yet, apply an encouragement of these men in any time for a leader, and a burst Like that of a political nomination will rand the air with 'Banks.' Banks' To many it is difficult to understand tails for, among negro leaders at least, a man of fewer words never lost. I never saw a member of my race who so consciously shunned the attempt at oratory and confined himself to a few short, simple words and sentences. Whether presiding over thousands of colored people at our National Negro business league, or over hundreds at his own state league, he insists upon the barest informal statement of the purpose of the gathering, and nothing more. While in no way seeming timid, he yet brushes aside all the glitter of the president's office, the opening address, the lauded introductory and the like. Magge it is this striking novelty that has gained him the unanimous confidence of the negroes of his state and of a large portion of the negroes throughout that country. He has for several years in succession been elected first vice-president of the National Negro Business league, an organization that comprises practically all the negro business men of the country. In like manner, he has for a number of years been president of his state lorgue, and last year he was, almost as it were by state acclamation, elected secretary and treasurer of the Masonic Fraternity of Mississippi, an order that at its last yearly report had paid out $155,000, and contained a balance in cash of $80,000; one of the largest neuro orders of the kind in the state, in money, influence and reliability. The peculiar conditions in the south render it urgent that whoever aspires to proxinence in any direction must rocken with the good will of both he cannot be wholly white unto himself or wholly black unto himself. This is emphatically true where the question of money is involved. A he who would be a banker cannot be a very large one without in some way rubbing allows with white men in the same business. In this respect, it is highly to Charles Banks' credit that he very early established correspondence wherever he needed it, and the Bank of Mound Bayon now enjoys correspondence with banks in Memphis in Louisville and in Vicksburg, with the National Reserve bank of the city of New York and with the National Bank of Commerce in St. Louis. Resisting the bank, in St. Louis, it is singular enough that a letter of just a few days ago from one of its officers, Mr. Eugene Snowden, lies before me. Mr. Snowden writes me: "It has been our pleaser to lend them" referring races. Paradoxical as it may seem to another negro bank in the same connection) $20,000 each year, and their business has been handled to our entire satisfaction." When it is considered that Mr. Snowden is a southerner living right here near us it can be seen how much a man like Charles Banks contributes toward the softening down of prejudice and the establishing of genuine confidence between the races. "I once proposed to a girl in a conservatory." "With what result?" "A lot of expensive plants; were nipped by frost." "My boy's goin' to Mexico with his regiment." "So he's a soldier.

(Special)—An education mass meeting was held in Morris Brown A. M.E. church, in the interest of the Atlanta Normal and Industrial Institute, Atlanta. Ga Rov. L. R. Nichols, pastor, provided he read a carefully prepared paper setting forth the object of the meeting and stating that he was rapidly becoming an advocate of practical education for the masses of his race. He spoke of conditions that exist among a class that is becoming more detrimental to the other negroes' best interests wherever they live in large numbers. He commended the work of the Stinson school at Atlanta, that is being directed by prominent southern white men. Rev. H. W. B. Bennett discussed The Many Ways by Which the Negro Can and Is Helping Himself" He pleaded for trained hands, a good teacher and a respectable home life. Rev. Randall Remo discussed "The Needs of Having Colored Teachers Train Colored Children." He said no person can so completely win a negro child as to improve his life and character as the negro instructor who enters his home, teaches him if the Sunday school, worships in the church with him and calls upon him when he is sick. Rev. M. M. Mouzon talked about "Southern Negroes Making the Best of Their Opportunities." He declared that while individuals had done and are now doing well and are a credit to the communities where they live, he was not at all satisfied with that large army of idlers in the streets, pool rooms, dives and places of sin and ignorance. The Rev. D. J. Jenkins pleaded with his race to help to care for the orphans. He said from among them have come some of the best men and women. The Rev. Richard D. Stinson, head of the Atlanta Normal and Industrial Institute, delivered the principal speech of the evening, pointing out the great need for practical education among the masses of the negroes and condemning the corruption which he said existed among certain negro communities and teachers. The contribution was liberal. C. C. Leslie sent his check for $25. Mr. Wilson G. Harvey $10. C. M. English S. others giving smaller amounts. The son or 900 persons present appeared to enjoy the occasion. Beneficiation was pronounced by the Rev. J. S. Moran. RAGE FEELING IN RELIGION The Crisis furnishes this bit of interesting news relative to the Salvation Army's attitude toward the negro. Race feeling which developed among the southern delegates to the Salvation Army conference held in Washington recently resulted in the abandonment for the time being of the army's plans for the organization of a movement among the colored people of the United States. A storm of protest went up from the officers from the south when a northern delegate proposed that white officers be required to conduct meetings among the colored people. They virtually declared they would not assume such duties, with the result that the committee appointed at the same meeting to draft a plan for the new work was discharged before it had time to commence work. Commander Evangeline Booth, head of the American Salvation Army, said before leaving for New York that if necessary a Salvation Army with colored leaders to conduct the meetings will be organized. "We thought it better to drop the matter temporarily," said Miss Booth, "owing to the feeling among our southern officers. They have worked amid a vast colored population for years, and I presume they know more about the colored people than the rest of us. I have no criticism to make against them. Our plans were never matured, think the matter was never formally discussed among us before. There are practically no colored people engaged in Salvation Army work in this country. In India we have native officers in command, and I suppose it would be just as well, if not better, to have colored officers here. I am confident we shall accomplish a great deal for the general welfare. Nothing probably has been a greater handicap to the missionary efforts of the Christian church, especially the Protestant branches of it, than race prejudice. Just why Christianity should be more affected by questions of race and color than other religious strangle. Jesus Christ himself preached a religion of individual acceptance unto all" was his command, and Peter found that God was no respecter of persons, but in every nation they that fear him and keep his commandments are acceptable. Why wonder it that the unchecked dominance of Islam and why attempt to preach the gospel of Christ while wearing a robe of racial conceal and color prejudice? Astra and Africa will never yield until the only Christ spirit rules in the Christian churches everywhere. Speaking of the Salvation Army and the negro reminds us how surprised we were to meet three uniformed members of the Army" of negro extraction last year in Louisville, Ky. While we had heard that in a few cities they were to be found, that was our first sight of them.—Star of Zion. Considerate "There goes a popular trombone player." How is that possible?

The Original Poro Hair Grower MRS. POPE-TURNBO. MRS. L. L. ROBERTS. 4 Years ago my Hair was only a finger-length, and my temples were bald half way up my head. 4 Years ago my Hair just covered my shoulders. Imitation is the sincerest flattery; and the fact that so many people in St. Louis and throughout the country think it worth while to imitate "PORO" HAIR GROWER is the best proof of the merits of "Poro." We were the first to engage in the business of growing the hair regardless of its condition and the condition of the scalp, and in our work we used the preparation which is known as "Poro." This is made and sold exclusively by myself. I have the exclusive right to that name; and I alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. From its use in my treatments hundreds have received direct benefit. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "Poro" it will continue to do so only this the hair and scalp be kept clean. Many persons are constantly finding that is true. You cannot afford, by using mere imitations, to risk not attaining the result you desire. ing mere irritations, to take care of him. Be sure that the name "Poro" is on every box; not gifting without it. If your hair is dry, harsh, brittle and falling out—use "Poro." It stands; the falling and starts the hair to growing at once.

THE LYNCH SHOW Another outburst of face degeneracy round its way to the surface last week, when a Negro was strung up in a public theater and lynched by a mob of degenerates, who paid admission for the privilege of participating in the shame. There is no better argument needed, to demonstrate the tendency of the white race, and the lynching as such is not the only evidence. The white press, the country over, advertised the barbary of their race in an effort to make the red letter "extra" a good seller. The more intelligent and democratic editors, realizing that any publicity given the lynching would at the same time advertise the lawlessness of their own race, were more conservative. Senator Oliver's paper was among the red letter "extras," and played its part in disseminating to the world the downward trend of the self excalled Caucasian Race. The lack of race pride, the total absence of shame for their degenerated brother of the South, stands out boldly in the Senate, more whatever anything rela- tor's papers whenever answering ing to the Negro needs undue publication; but accomplishments of the Negro worthy of favorable comment find place in the most obscure corner. Better things than these have eman- ated from our avowed enemies; how strange they should come from our professing friend? But the end is not yet. A final distri- tion of justice must come, as come it will; and our only burden is the patient waiting. TANNER AS EDITOR. We note with satisfaction that Dr. C. M. Tanner is mentioned as the next editor of the Christian Recorder. A good step in the right direction. An organ of such importance must have a man well balanced for the job, a man of experience, training and board of soul. Dr. Tanner is all of these, and more. The good brethren are to be congratulated that a man of such parts can be had for so important a place in the Methodist religion. Certainly, with such a man as candidate, it is all over now but the counting of votes. LOCAL NEWS Miss, Ethel Scott of Meyersdale, Pa. who was the guest of Miss Ella Rickmond and Miss Sara B.

Kenchin delivered the opening address to the Sir Knights. Reb. D. W. Butler preached the sermon from the fifty-seventh P. S. and seventh verse subject, "The Temperance of Possessing a Decided Character." He said in part to be fixed is to be seted and cease from wondering to be composed and at rest. To be fixed in the sense of the text is to be decided in heart to be strong. Here man calls on the supreme and expresses the discussion of heart. He is conscious that there exists a supernatural being. The sublime idea of God is revealed in the first sentence of the Bible. The eternal intelligence of God is read in the verses as mind is read in the human body. We look at mankind they walk, they speak, they reason and they use their hand and feet not at random, but systematically for the accomplishments of an end. So we are convinced that mind lies and acts in man. In all creation we see divine intelligence. The choir rendered our most best music their own. The white chorus Charity Clarke, organist.

The usual account of how Thackeray was disfigured says that Venables broke the novelist's nose in a fair fight. Mr. John Ward in Notes and Querles supplies another version. About a year after Thackeray's death he was traveling on one of the main railways and had as companions two old ladies who knew Thackeray well. One of them said the novelist had told them this story: "Being one of the youngest pupils at Charterhouse he was chosen by one of the older lads, a rather proud aristocrat in his way, to act as his tag. Thackeray bore it as well as he could, but demurred to some more arbitrary command than usual and flatly refused to obey. Whereupon the young aristocrat caught Thackeray up, held his head under his arm, and with the beak of his boot used as a hammer beat the beautiful aquiline nose quite flat with his face, in fact breaking and injuring its structure completely—the excuse being: 'You'll clean my boots next time, sir.'" Before his injury Thackeray was, the same authority says, remarkably handsome—Westminster Ganette.

It attained suzurarity over all the people from the MEDITERRANEAN of the book of Daniel has presented accurately the values of the historical situation. It was the unknown masters in Assyria, just after Nimrur-umitr had been the power of Dismasms, that resisted the successes of Carobam possible. Jonah was impressionably a historical person. He lived in the reign of Jorahson H., king of Israel, in whose time Amos's work was accomplished. According to 2 Kings 14:25, he prophesied to recovery from Syria of the last border possessions of Israel. He is said to have belonged to Gathhepher, a town of Zebulun, and his grave is still shown in the vicinity of Nazareth. Gathhepher was about six hours' walk north of Zazareth, and was therefore the place of Gathhepher's Jewish grave said that he was the son of the widow of Sarepta, whom Elijah had restored to life; and also that he was the youth whom Elisha had sent to anoint Jehu, king of Israel. This Little Biography begins with the announcement that God asked a man to do something for him. It is significant that other Bible writers Ninevehian, Jeremiah, Zephanthah, Hagiah, Micah begin the story of their lives at the same point. Our acquaintance with Paul begins with his summons to 'duty', and the apostles were not known until Christ bade them follow him. Jonah's call was to go to Nineveh, the greatest and wickest city in the world, and threaten it with doom from Jehovah. How did Jonah answer his missionary call? By running away. He fled from the presence of the Lord, as if God were, in his mind, only a local divinity, ruling over Israel, but unable to see the fugitive if he fled far enough beyond his territory; terrorizing itself; if the God of Israel sees what is going on at distant Nineveh, and is concerned about it, is it to be supposed that his unfaithful servant will escape his notice; like some defaulting apprentice-lad, who hopes to elude his master's notice by running away, to sea." Jonah jumps on board a vessel bound for the most remote place known to the ancient world, Tarsus, that is Tartessus, on the Guadalquivir in Spain. God interfered with Jonah's plans by sending one of those sudden, treacherous storms so frequent on the Mediterranean, a storm so fierce that even the skilful Phoenician sailors were compelled to throw out their cargo, and were filled with terror. Jonah calls upon the sailors to throw him into the sea—to purchase their peace by his sacrifice. That call is the finest thing in the picture. It is the real miracle. It marks the enlargement of the man. But the honest fellows were loath to take him at his word, and the poor rowers piled the long sweeps more earnestly than ever. Even when obleged at last to throw Jonah overboard, they did it with a prayer to Jehovah. And at once the sea was calm. How long was Jonah in the great fish? Three days and three nights, which, according to the Jewish mode of reckoning, might, as in the case of our Lord's stay in the tomb, have been only one entire day and parts of the day preceding and the day following. It is striking to notice the change in Jonah as soon as he censed to run away from his duty, and became obedient to God's command. What was the command? The first repeated: "Go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim what I bade you proclaim, the doom of their sins." Then God prepared a gourd. This book is full of this word prepared. We are told that the Lord prepared a great fish-gourd, a small wine-gourd, a small wine. This gourd was most likely the bottle-gourd, often planted to grow over trellis-work. It is thought by some to have been the palma christ, or castor-oil plant, which still grows, to a great size in the Jordan valley. It is so-called because it is a fiveleaved plant, one leaf of which outspread was thought to represent the hand of Christ. Next in the acted parable" came a worm, destroying the gourd, and the strocco, driving its hot blast down upon the sweltering prophet. Then, by a wonderfully true touch of human nature, Jonah transfers his pity for himself, as an ill-used prophet, to the gourd which likewise had been hardy. The divine question, "Should not I have pity?" remains unanswered. Above the stir and win and wickedness the divine compassion is still brooding The argument brivery fine. On the gourd Jonah had spent neither labor nor strength. How much more should God, of whose goodness man's highest virtue is but the faltesten shadow, pity and spare the helpless and ignorant works of his own hands who now fill the streets of Nineveh with pathetic appeals for forgiveness! God's pity extends to the little children, that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand, and even to the cattle. There is no finer close in the whole realm of literature than this ending. God's love is broader than the measures of mankind. Faith. Faith is a fundamental fact in experience. It is one of the most comprehensive and expressive words in the language. It is an extensive form of belief and grows up on passive confidence and expectant affection into a complete reliance and entire surrender of self.—Bishop Samuel Fallows, Episcopallan, Chicago.

The thimble is a Dutch invention and was first brought to England by one John Lofsteyn, who began its manufacture at Islington. In 1655 its name was derived from the words "thimb" and "bell". Originally it was called "thimbell," then "thumble" and finally "thimble". It is recorded that thimbles were first worn on the thumb, but we can scarcely conceive how they could be of much service so used. Formerly thimbles were made of brass and iron only, but now they are shown in gold, silver, steel, horn, and even glass. There is a thimble owned by the queen of Siam that is shaped like a lotus bud, the royal flower. It is of gold, thickly studded with diamonds, and is held to be the most costly article of the kind in the world. In Naples very pretty thimbles, composed of lava from Mount. Vesuvius are occasionally sold, but rather as curiosities than as articles, of real utility being, by reason of the extreme writeness of the lava, very easily broken. Could Not Pay Small Sum.

"A western editor has printed a picture of the world's ugliest woman." "Well." "I'll bet she lives on the other side of the world." THE COURIER NEGROES ARE OPTIMISTIC --- PESSIMISM IS PRACTICALLY AN UNKNOWN FORCE AMONG AFRO-AMERICANS. The Prairie View Standard says in a recent issue: "The negro pessimist has long been with us, though he has not known himself by that name. The negro pessimist has no faith in any undertaking of his own race; he is always criticising or denouncing the preachers and the churches of his race, because it is a safe thing to do. He never takes stock in any negro enterprise. He never subscribes for a negro newspaper. When any enterprise is started he immediately predicts its failure, and does all he can make it fall. But the influence of the negro pessimist is waning." Commenting upon this, State Press of the Dallas News says: "This is a new view of the negro. It has been generally understood hereof, at least ambing the white folks, that there were no negro pessimists. Optimism has been the colored man's best asset, according to the Caucasian idea. Through drought and flood, through fire and famine, the black man has gone his way, serenely confident of the future, to all appearances, and wholly contented with the present. Many men of the other color have envied the Afro-American his easy mental attitude in times of stress. Millionaires in gilded carriages have looked through their plates glass at the happy black man welding a pick in the streets and wished that the laborer's fine freedom from carpeting are might be transplanted in their own bosoms. The misfortune of many a palatial house has helped for the restful philosophy that characterized the 'black mammy' in the kitchen. If the negro is beginning to be a pessimist, then he is losing his birthright." Pessimism is practically an unknown force among negroes. The Standard evidently mistakes criticism for pessimism. During the past few years a good many things, long regarded as too sacred, for adverse comment, have been subjected to fearless but well-intentioned criticism among negroes. Here and there it will be admitted we have a few—a very few—proachers who have had no more preparation for their work than a mule, and who make up in scatter for what they lack in matter who substitute sound for sense—thunder for lightning, and under whose teaching the race is not getting any where morally, spiritually or intellectually—and somebody has had the hardship to say so. Here and there a few men of God have shown more eagerness for the need than for souls—and somebody has said so. Here and there a colored man has gone into business and hoped to succeed by birth of his color. He has been urged to revise his business and to get in the game, leaving his color out of the question. That's the sort of pessimism that is now prevalent. Thinking men have seen that the race is long on church building, but is decidedly short on factory building. And somebody has said so. Here and there a few secret orders, useful in themselves, have been used by designing men to enrich themselves at the expense of the many—and somebody has had the nerve to say so. Here and there people have thought that when men organize a bank or other commercial enterprise and bid or public support, the organizers ought to have some money, some business capacity and some—honesty. These things have been voiced by fearless critics—men who were looking for no office and who were indifferent, alike to applause or blame. That's the kind of pessimism that our contemporary has in mind, and it is as different from the real article as light is from day. the negro is not losing his optimism. He's more of an optimist now than ever, because he needs to be. But along with that optimism he's becoming sufficiently keen sighted to know that every sermon is not "great;" every speech is not "grand"; every enterprise or scheme originated by negroes is not necessarily founded on strict business principles; every public uplifier is not necessarily an angel, and that every appeal made in the name of "race pride" is not necessarily unselfish. The critics who have been radiating this sort of "pessimism" have been making conditions better for every negro of brains and worth, and for every honest enterprise an endeavor struggling for recognition and a foundation upon which to stand. They have simply tried "To prune the luxuriant, the uncounty refine. But show no mercy to an empty and still less to the fellow who regards the race as his particular and lawful prey. The atmosphere is becoming less and less favorable to the fellow whose chief ability is to blunder and to plunder. And that's the result of the "pessimism" that is now frightening on honest contemporary. The negro is so much of the opusist that he goes to the best, and when he goes the worst, he doesn't believe it: "Old History." In Dallas Express. How He Broke It Off.

Father says you are one, and the worst of it is I—I can't deny it." There was a note of sorrowful regret in Jesse Leighton's voice as she uttered this decision. "That's so, so," self, and scanning as if we might be pour. "Oh, what shall Jesse? We are home, around by it a house near, not be spolled. vote to I know I am a coward, "Jim Barlow knowledged humbly, as he saunted along the country lane beside her. "I've been afraid of things ever since I was frightened so in that horrible railroad accident when I was a little chap. Try as I may I can't seem to help it." "Aunt Martha says a man that's half a man should be able to protect a woman from every danger," Jessie continued, as if she had not heard her companion. "And a coward never could do that. Why. Jim. In battle you'd run away the first minute you sighted the enemy, before even a single gun was fired, you know you would." Jim Barlow's handsome, bronzed face fushed with anger. "Your Aunt Martha hasn't ever needed any man to protect her," he jerked out. "What does an old maid know about what a man should or should not do, anyway? And how isn't any war, nor likelihood of it, that I know of, so I don't think you need fret about whether I could face the enemy or not." Now, don't get cross. Jim." Jessie begged. "I didn't mean to be unkind. I bequeath you can't help not being brave. But when a girl trusts her whole future to a man's keeping she wants him to be brave—she wants to be able to look up to him and respect him." "I'd make you a good husband, Jesse, lie," Jim pleaded earnestly. "I'm not a half bad fellow, and I've a fairly good education. I'm not afraid to work, either; and to my thinking that counts for more in these days than THE FIELD "Now, Don't Get Cross, Jim." more physical bravery. I own one of the best, farms around here, and I have something, in the bank besides. I can give you as comfortable a home as a girl could wish. I hate to see you go on drudging at school teaching, year after year, when I know you detest it. If you didn't care for me, it would be bad enough, but I could bear it like a man, and not say a word more. It's the knowledge that it's only my cowardice that's keeping us apart that nearly drives me crazy. If I could only do something to prove to you that I could be brave—that I could protect you from every danger—but I can't, I can't. "Please don't take it so hard, Jim," she besought him self-soopardly. "I'd do you want me to in a minute. I could. Perhaps some time you will do something that is really brave and then——" Here her voice faltered and died out. Jim plunged forward in gloomy silence. As J.issle quickened her steps to keep pace with those of her silent companion, she heartily fished that she had not permitted Jim to see her home. She might have known what would happen! This made the third time Jim had proposed to her, and it was very hard for her to keep on refusing. The two young people were so absorbed by their own unhappy thoughts that they failed to notice the fast gathering clouds, which made it much darker than the hour warranted, until Jessie was brought to a sudden realization of her surroundings by a big drop of rain on her face. "Oh. Jim. I do believe it's going to rain," she cried, in dismay. Just as the town clock struck 12:00 long drawn out strokes a supremely happy man climbed the fence of Farmer Gilford's south pasture, and soon, by the light of a lantern, an ax was singing to the tune of "All's Fair in Love and War." But the man would have been considerably surprised could he have heard a blushing faced girl whispering to herself, in the seclusion of her own room: "Oh I hope Jim will never find out that I saw Henry Potter's man putting that sign-board up. He would. never forgive me for knowingly playing him such a trick. But I couldn't help it. I had to have an excuse for accepting him." The Thimble Bi-Centennial Who of all the women busy over their sewing know that the thimble, or, as our German cousins picturelesquely call it, the 'finger hat,' might, if so minded, have celebrated its two hundred birthday last year? For it was just about 200 years ago that a London goldsmith named Trotting made and presented to the lady of his heart on her birthday a thimble of gold fully ornamented and chased, accompanied by a note which introduced the little contraption as a 'token of my humble esteem which shall protect these delicate, fair and industrious fingers from pricks and 'scars of needle hurt. Until that day sewing had been a real task, faithful and labored, and attended with occasional bloodshed. The novel birthday gift was consequently much appreciated and so admitted by the recipient's friends that the goldsmith was kept busy and was made independently rich by the demand for more thimbles. The new N "That's go," said Jim, arousing himself, and scanning the sky. "Looks as if we might have quite a downpour." "Oh, what shall we do?" gasped Jessie. "We are half a mile from home, around by the road, and there isn't a house near. My best hat will be spilled. "We'll have to run for it, I guess," Jim declared. "Couldn't we make a short cut through Farmer Gilford's pasture?" Jessie suggested. "His creatures are alm in the other pasture now, you know." When they reached the middle of the pasture Jessie came to a full stop, clutching her companion's arm frantically, and shrinking close to his side. "Oh, Jim, look!" she breathed. The dim outline of a member of the bovine family loomed up huge and starling in front of them. "It's that dreadful animal of Henry Potter's." Jessie shuddered. "Oh, what shall we do?" Jim's face blanched beneath its tan. A shudder of fear swept through him. He cowered back a step or two. Terror was on the point of overmastering him. Then a thought flashed into his mind. He remembered having seen a couple of men at work in this very lot that afternoon. Courage filled his heart Courage hindered his endeavor. Here was the very chance he had longed for—well, not exactly that, but one that would answer as a make-shift, he reasoned—to show Jessie that he could be brave on occasion. A look of grim determination settled upon his face as he smothered a slight feeling of shame for what he was about to do. Then he called out, "Run for the fence, Jessie. I won't let him hurt you." Jim, Jim, I can't go and leave you." Jessie faltered. "Run," Jim commanded in a tone that she could not refuse to obey. that she could not refuse to obey. She ran as she had never run before, stumbling over hummocks without heeding them, and sobbing without like a child, from sheer excitement. "How cruel I have been, he thought. "And to think he, in spite of his fear, was ready to risk his life for me! Oh, how ashamed I am!" Jim did not move from the stand he had taken before the huge, gloom-shrouded fence until Jesse had reached the fence in safety, and had climbed over it. Then he did a curious thing. Then he did a curtain. He deliberately turned his back upon his adversary, which, by the way, had apparently not moved a muscle since Jessie had first apied it and ran. The great form still stood like a graven image where he had left it. With a bound, Jim vaulted lightly over the fence. "Oh, you are brave," Jessie sobbed, clinging to him. "I'll never forgive myself for calling you a coward. You were splendid. Oh, Jim. I take everything back—everything. I do love you." Again Jim smothered a feeling skin to shame, as he stooped and kissed the sweet, tear-wet face, upraised to his. On his way home, a little later Jim stopped in at Farmer Gifford's. "There's an animal in your south pasture I'd like to buy," he said with assumed carelessness. "Why, there ain't any animal there except that cow sign-board Porter's men put up there this afternoon," twelve-year-old Willie Gifford burst out wonderingly. "You shut up, bub," his father commanded aternly. Then he gave Jim an understanding, wink. "Saw you and your girl going through there awaile back," he remarked. "I guess nothing serious would happen if the thing disappeared right now. Potter didn't even ask leave for putting it there. Only don't leave any kindlings lying around." Just as the town clock struck 12 long drawn-out strokes a supremely happy man climbed the fence of Farmer Gilford's south pasture, and soon, by the light of a lantern, an ax was singing to the tune of "All's Fair in Love and War." But the man would have been considerably surprised he could have a blushing faced girl whispering to herself, in the seclusion of her own room. "Oh, the hope Jim will never find out that I saw Henry Potter's man putting that sign-board up. He would never forgive me for knowingly playing him such a trick. But I couldn't help it. I had to have an excuse for accepting him." implants made in imitation of his were of iron, silver or gold elaborately ornamented and often jeweled.

"Whatsoever Thy Hand Findeth—" Don't object that your duties are so insignificant; they are to be reckoned of infinite significance, and alone important to you.

SATURDAY. APRIL 29. 1911. True Manhood Surent Guarantees of Citizenship, Boyz Dr. E. H. Hunter. At the recent annacipation celebration in Richmond Va., which was witnessed by a great throng of people at the ball ground, where the exercises were held, the Rev. Dr. E. H. Hunter, pastor of Third street A. M. E. church, was the orator of the day. He spoke in part as follows: While all have not yet fully understood the philosophy of the late war, it is happily the fact that the thoughtful men and women of both races in all sections of our country are disposed now to cast the mantle of charity the past and to cast the fall of Richmond the beginning of a new epoch, which meant the abolition of a system calculated to rob both master and slave of manhood and objectivity further, stronger evidence and a real honour to cultivate the professed principles of the government. It is well, therefore, for all to stop occasionally and take a retrospect of the part as we prepare to meet the challenge we may measure the height attained by viewing the depths from which we came. Let it be remembered, too, that the occasion which marked the radical change in the life of the bride was a blessed benediction to all men. But it is especially appropriate that we should annually celebrate the occasion which marked the greatest privilege of the highest privileges ever granted to mankind—the legacy of equal citizenship in a government destined to become (as it boasts now of being) the greatest of all the people of the home, with all its sacred memories and changing environment, is the establishment, of just 7 REV. J. M. HUNTER. fair, honorable community life, and such adjustment of the social fabric as will recognize the right of the highest, the lowest, the proudest and humbleest, the richest and most prosperous, and being on a common level. Men must learn that no final settlement of the question of rights between man and man can ever be reached, principles like God and shall have a rightful place in the making and administration of society's laws. Class legislation cannot bring to pass the ideal in this regard, and manhood suffrage is the against classlegibility of democracy. The obligations of citizenship require recognition of the fact that the benefits of citizenship fix proportional responsibilities. Many people may try to escape the burden of responsibility which attaches to the superior position attained through wealth, position or influence. The special responsibilities and great duties of the kind are intrusted to men to be used for the common good and not to be squandered in idle pleasure, vain concepts, avaricious schemes and misattention. We hear much talk about the need of race leaders, but the permanent need is men. Enough strong, thoughtful, unselfish, God fearing men will be held accountable and wherever one is needed. Those who are willing to compromise or barter away the God given manhood rights of their people for place, self or experience of their follows, and thereby they blind the cultivation of true manhood. The surest guarantee of a proper and effective assumption of the obligations of citizenship is the cultivation of true manhood.
