My very heart thrills with joy when I think of that being a true fact, and there is none other as I happy. I was not born a slave as some who existed in this country over forty years ago or on the soil owned by the proud Anglo-Saxon race, who, today, we feel far their superior, but on the soil owned by an Afro-American. Can it be possible that we are to be deprived of our rights? Just think of it! With only a few years of freedom and a very little school education, where this people are now. With three cheers for joy, three cheers for peace and three cheers for liberty, I now say 'Let Aunt Hakar's flag wave on and on This land of America is too broad NUMBER 30 for me to corner myself off as a pau-nut before its first growth. The soil on which I now stand is too valuable not to be praised and the atmosphere is too pure not to breathe freely. I am glad to say that the Afro-American girls are turning their attention to the fact that they can not sleep any longer and that they also have a part to play in the business world and her superior can no longer be found. Anyone familiar with the conditions as they existed in this country forty years ago, is bound to admit, if he has any regard for truth, that the Afro-American woman has made rapid and substantial progress in the business world. The care more of our girls today who play their part in the domestic world than any other race. Their opportunities are greater; why? Not because they have all servants so as to ignore the truth of knowing how to do, but doing. Notwithstanding that she had the greatest drawback in the history of any people, the Afro-American woman, when first set free, began at once [where permitted] the work of trying to improve her condition. Not only over the waistub, in the streets of ignorance in the home of gossip or in the city of beauty, but she has learned to spread forth her arms in the garden spots, in the poultry yards, in the flower beds as an angel with flapping wings. How happy, how happy, Oh! how happy the Afro-American woman must be. She is found in the homes of the rich and the poor, trying to master the problems as a domestic woman. She is skilled as an artist, seamstress and milliner, stenographer and bookkeeper, songstresses, and, the greatest of all, we find one who has gained her intellectual powers and mastered the problems of life—a domestic wife. Why should we waste all of our time thinking of the opportunities of our superiors. Can we not improve our own conditions? Life is too short to waste away in dreams while others are laboring for higher grounds. Don't think for one moment that it is useless to try, but as one poet has said, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." The Afro-American woman has not only made rapid and substantial progress along the common walks of life as an ordinary laborer, but she has entered the learned professions and mastered their most difficult and perplexing problems with a facility that has astonished her friends and confounded her intelligent and self-respecting enemies. Just think of it! In less than for.y-five or fifty years with nothing to start upon, with no kind hand to guide, with no loving voice to admonish, but almost ev'rthing to oppose her, the Afro-American woman has continued to progress along moral, religious, intellectual, industrial social and financial times. Fathers and mothers of the Afro-American race: Are you not proud of your daughter, who can entertain you as vocalists, with sweet voices uttered from the sweet lips of any human being. At the piano, not only as a musician, but as an instructor, in your office, who is found as your stenographer and bookkeeper. In your home in the kitchen to the library, and even in the agricultural business, now, has the Afro-American woman any superior? No, no, never. MINS IDA MAY GUOVES, Edwardville, Kau.

AND O. THEATRE. The colored people of Kansas City ought to congratulate themselves and feel highly elated over the fact that they have a high class place of amusement of their own. This theatre has now been in operation nearly a year and has been reasonably well patronized. The M. and O. theatre, having been established exclusively for the colored people, it should receive their universal approval and support, for the reason that the moving picture shows and illustrated songs and acts are entertaining interesting and instructive. The shows given at the M. and O. theatre each evening and at the matresses are first class and refined. It is an ideal place of amusement to which the colored people can go without being insulted or humiliated by being thrust aside. The shows given at this theatre cannot, for the same money be called or surpassed by any other theatre in the city. The management of the theatre have shared neither pain nor expense in remodeling the same and securing for the benefit of its patrons the latest moving pictures and the best vaudeville performers. Performances begin every evening at eight o'clock and last until ten o'clock. Mr A. B. Grant, the general manager is a genial and affable gentleman. He is a stranger in the city and is putting forth the best efforts to make the M. and O. theatre a grand success for the colored people. If You Saw Movey Laying on the Ground Would You Pick it Up?

Mr. George CRAWFORD'S Compound Snake-Root Tablets. CRAWFORD'S Compound Snake-Root Tablets. Those who suffer from rheumatism assert that it is the most painful of diseases, indeed if you are a victim of it's tortures you can probably testify as to it's agonizing pains. Rheumatism is directly attributed to great quantities of uric acid in the blood; this acid being caused by various dietie and hygenic errors is found in the blood of nearly everyone who follows our modern dietary. Uric acid circulates in the blood and it's minute crystals have a tendency to gather in the joints, this crystalization or gathering causing enlarged joints, various deformities, stiffness and great pain. It makes the skin dry, harsh and yellow and hastens old age. Exposure to cold, wet feet, etc., nearly always bring on an attack. Many people suffer for years, few realize how easily rheumatism can be cured, due largely to the fact that medical authorities differ widely as to what constitutes the correct treatment. The best treatment is the use of a good local application to reduce the swelling and relieve the pain and internal remedies to purify the blood and free the system of uric acid. Snake Oil Liniment, extremely penetrating and soothing meets every requirement for local treatment, while SnakeRoot Tablets are the perfect tonic and blood purifier. Snake Oil Liniment. Is a combination of Snake Oil and other valuable remedies. Snake Oil from which it gets it's name has long been prized because of its penetrating qualities and it's power to impart an elasticity to the human tissue. Rattle-Snake Oil is especially valuable and is most used although Mr. Carwford obtains huge cobras, pythons and boa-constrictors from the snake farms of Australia where they are raised for exhibition purposes and for medicinal value of their oils and virus. Hundreds of people will testify as to its great value in the treatment of rheumatism sprains, bruises, frost-bites, etc., penetrating to the seat of pain giving instant relief, lubricating the J. S. KLINE, M.D., Drug Store formerly owned by Tay-Taylor & Kassel. 514 MINNESOTA AVENUE, KANSAS CITY, : KANSAS jointe, reducing the swelling and preventing knotty deformities. Compound Snake Root Tablets Are a combination of purely vegetable remedies made after the formula of an old Doctor, who was noted for his ability to quickly cure rheumatism. Aloes, one of the ingredients, is known to the medical profession as one of the best mild laxatives; Cascara, another, acts as a tonic to the bowel muscles and Podophyllin is the best liver stimulant known, far superior to Calomel, while Snake Root is a mild tonic to the nerves and kidneys and the enemy of uric acid. These and a number of other equally valuable ingredients make these Tablets never falling. By acting on the liver, kidney and bowels they purify the blood, freeing it of uric acids and other poisons. Too often people resort to the use of mercury, salicylates and other strong medicines which not only ruin the stomach, but add another poison to the blood. Indigestion, Dyspepsia and Constipation Are closely associated maladies, which are almost universal, there being few people who are not constipated at times, even if they are able to escape Indigestion and Dyspepsia. Many times when the doctors pronounce a death due to heart-failure, it is in reality due to an attack of Acute Indigestion. Those who have suffered with Heart-Burn will little wonder that the heart stops beating when subjected to the more severe strain of an attack of Acute Indigestion.

Do you know that it causes the retention of poisonous waste matter in the system—poisoning the blood and making yo unacceptible to all diseases. Medical authorities even state that nearly all disease can be traced to this poisoning by Constipation. A century ago our fore-fathers knew little of Constipation. They were more active, more in the open air and ate simpler food—so different from the present day—our modern offices and factories and complicated foods. So we must have something to take the place of their natural agencies. By taking one Suake-Root Tablet before each meal and one before going to bed you can soon rout the most stubborn case of Constipation. Crawford's Drug Store, Kansas City, Mo.
