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

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.

MURPHY-THOMAS NUPTIALS.
Social Circles Enlivened by Marriage
of Prominent Baltimore Couple.
Baltimore—One of the most fashionable weddings here in recent years was solemnized at the Episcopal chapel of St. Mary the Virgin. Wednesday, April 19, the contracting parties being Miss Helen F. 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.
The bride is one of the best known of the younger social set. She was graduated from the Colored High school a few years ago. 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."

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.
Cut the meat of a two-pound lobster into one-inch cubes and put them on the store in a small, shallow stewpan. Add to it a gill of dry sherry, a quarter of a level teaspoonful of salt, as much red pepper as may be taken up on the point of a penknife, and a few grains of grated nutmeg. Simmer gently for three minutes. Then add two eggs very well beaten with a cupful of cream. Stir continuously until the sauce coats the spoon. Remove from the stove immediately, pour it into a small tureen, made hot for the purpose, and send to the table.
The sooner you forget your injured feelings, if you have any, the sooner you will be without the discomfort of injured feelings. They're "no account" any way you fix them.
ATTENTION! MERCHANTS!
To do or not to do may be yours as you may choose, but it is the man that "doss things" today that succeeds. If you are in business, and don't want the other fellow to run away with your trade, this Age requires you to keep before the public, always, and the success of such Big Departments Storrs as Bennie Neiman, 1405 Fifth Avenue, and Kaufman's. Fifth Avenue and Smithfield Street, are due to their extensive advertising of their goods and prices that attract the trade. You have got to spend money to make money, or sooner or later you will be forced to the wall.
If the merchants of this city want more patronage of the colored people, we have the medium, circulation and paper that reaches thy home. It's the only real newspaper the Race has ever had in Pittsburgh. Incorporated under the laws of Pennsylvania and entered at the Post Office as second class matter. Its circulation is growing weekly, and has men back of it who have the regulation of making good—that's why the Courier is a success.

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

FIVE CENTS A COPY.
Thrifty Institution In Elmore County, Ala. 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.

was disfgured saya that Venables
‘broke the novelist’s nose “in a fair
fight. Mr. John Ward if Notes and
Querfes supplies another version.

he was traveling on one of the main
railways and bad as companions two
old ladies who knew Thackeray well.
One of them sald the novelist had told
them this story:
“Being one of the:youngest pupils at
Charterhouse he was chosen by one of
‘tha older lads, a rather proud artsto-
zrat in bis way, to act 9a bis fag.
Thackeray bore it as well as he could,
but demurred to some mote arbitrary
rommand than usual and flatly refused
to obey.” Whereupon the young ‘artsto-
crat' caught Thackeray up, bela hi
bead under hig arm, and with the-heel
of bis boot used as a hammer beat tne
Seautiful aquiline nose quite flat. wih
bis face, ip fact breaking and injuring
Its structure completeiy—the excuse
being: ‘You'll clean. my boota nest

Before. bis injury Thackeray was,

Let our praise and local support and patronage of the race for giving to the colored people the only place for rest, health and recreation offered in Mt. Clemens. While he began business in 1806, because the whites hurried the colored people, and he being public spirited and feeling his innate urge to enjoy the creative properties of its mankind, he has served his more than the place to be proud of, and every youth in the community has been invited to join him. He has many harrows in the heart of the community only to open up the properties on the side of the street and he has generously for making the investment he has in order that we might derive the benefit of the liberal interests and its baths.

THE FIRST THIMBLE.
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.

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.

"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

"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. They were worn, as ifdeed their name implies, on the thumb.
"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. Were it but the more perfect regulation of your apartments, the sorting away of your clothes and trinkets, the arranging of your papers—"Whatsoever they hand findeth to do it with all thy might, and all thy worth and consistency, as much more if your duties are of imminently higher, wider scope; if you have brothers, sisters, a father, if you have brothers, sisters, a father, we earnestly what claim does lie upon you, on behalf of each, and consider it as the one thing needful to pay them more and more honestly and nobly what you owe—Thomas Carlyle.
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

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.
UPPER CLASS MEN DANCE
Lincoln Students Entertain Many
School Information
The Lincoln Frogs, a club composed of upper class men of Lincoln university, gave an informal dance at Fitzgerald's auditorium. Atlantic City, N. J., on Saturday. April 15. The affair drew largely upon the social circles of Philadelphia, New York, Washington, Baltimore and Atlantic City and was easily the most enjoyable social event during the Easter season in the city by the sea. The officers of the Lincoln Frogs are: Henri D. Tayler, 11, president; B. Ira Brown, 12, vice president; Joel Penn Branch, 11, treasurer; R. F. Coley, 11, secretary; J. Arnold Gilbert, 11, chairman executive committee.
Marriage Law. Remains Unchanged.
The Brooklyn Eye. says ediorially:
"The bill prohibiting the intermarriage of whites and blacks has been defeated in the Massachusetts legislature. Great credit is due Editor Trotter and his friends, both white and colored, who appeared before the committee in opposition to the bill. Marriage is honorable, and nothing honorable should be suppressed. We are of one blood, although the race have drifted apart, but the place, from whence they came, thither will they return."
Taft Started Nonpartisan Movement.
President William H. Taft has torn the Republican party into splinters, says the Chicago Idea. It was he who started the movement of the nonpartisans in the appointment of Democrats into his cabinet and other important places, and the rank and file of the voters have taken their cue from him and are voting for Democratic mayors and Democratic aldermen. The rank and file will vote him out of office in 1912.

Unselflessness is also inseparably linked with motherhood that the possibility of overstepping safe boundaries and thus creating selfish instincts in the boy or girl for whom you are making all the sacrifices solemn suggests itself—thinking about the matter some time.
Vanity of Roman Emperor
The Emperor Augustus robbed February of a day, and put it on to August, so that the month named after him should not be lacking in dignity.
