Governor Terrell Energetic United States Troops in Readiness. [Atlanta, Ga. Constitution, Sep. 23] Atlanta witnessed its wildest night last night. Thousands of white men, with their passions inflamed because of the recent attacks of Negroes on white women, gathered in the business center of Atlanta, and for four hours mobs chased Negroes, stoned and shot them to death, and boarded trolley cars, snatching off Negroes and beat them to death with clubs and sticks. In some portions of the streets the sidewalks ran red with the blood of dead and dying Negroes, and in many trolley cars there were pools of blood in which dead Negroes were lying. The fire department was called out in the midst of the terrible excitement by order of the mayor, and by streams of water tried to disperse the mobs. This hal a good effect only for a few minutes, for the mobs quickly reorganized, and on other streets began to shoot and stone Negroes. Rushes were made upon the hardware stores for pistols, but these were stored and the supply of ammunition was not increased. The saoons were closed, and in fact every place of business had closed its doors long beyond the usual hour. At one time a number of trolley cars had to be rushed out of the city with dead and dying Negroes and policemen upon them. "KILL THEM!" "SHOOT THEM!" All the while the air was filled with cries of: "Kill them!" "Shoot them!" "Lynch them!" "Down with the Negroes who attack and assault our women!" A number of men paraded the streets holding aloft extra editions of the afternoon papers whereon were large type lines displaying assaults Negroes had made on white women yesterday afternoon and evening. In some streets the air was filled with the reports of pistols, and the shouts of enraged men who seemed more like wild beasts than human beings. Atlanta never witnessed a scene that began to compare to it, and it was the fervent prayer of all who saw it that the like would never be witnessed again. The scenes on the incoming trolley cars were the most fearful of all No sooner would a trolley car reach the center of the city than it would be eagerly scanned for Negroes, and if one was seen on the car it was immediately boarded and a rush made for the blacks by both men and women. In some instances white men and ladies were on the cars and these were pushed and shoved about until they reached the street. Many ladies screamed out in fright and one fainted as she was borne from a car at the corner of Peachtree and Marietta street. The crowd seemed to have suddenly become maddened because they had been forced from Decatur street by the streams of water which the firemen poured upon them with relentless force. The men turned to demons for a while, and rushed from street to street looking for Negroes. Nearly always the Negro sighted ran for his life and escaped but in many instances the Negro was either ignorant or stubborn, and he either received a severe beating or was killed. NUMBER OF DEAD UNKNOWN It was impossible to ascertain how many Negroes had been killed. In one trolley car alone there were seen three Negroes lying under the seats who had been pronounced dead by the police. In two other cars there was one Negro each. At the corner of Forsyth and Walton streets there was one dead Negro. On the Forsyth Street Bridge there was one edad Negro who had been shot through the head. Other dead Negroes were reported on the streets and in the cars, but it was impossible for anybody to tell how many had been victims of the madness of the infuriated mobs. There will doubtless be many Negroes to die in the Graly hospital, as a large number was taken there who were seriously injured by being beaten or shot. The ambulance was kept continually rolling for several hours to look after the dying. Negroes were not the only victims of the riots, for three or four white persons were hurt. The crowds began to swell until by dark they had reached at least 5,000. About 8:30 o'clock somebody made a speech from a dry goods box on Pryor street near the corner of Decatur. He waved aloft a news paper with flaming headlines about the four assaults. He cried out. HOW THE MOB STARTED. Then a colored bicycle rider, who carried messages for the Isle of Champagne came along. He was knocked off his wheel by a white man. He got up and was knocked down again. The police rushed in and rescued the Negro. The mob following crying, jeering and hooting. The patrol wagon was sent for, the Negro was hurried off. At the barracks he was liberated and he ran off like deer. WHITE PEOPLE INJURED. Fred Shepherd, an 18-yearold white boy was seriously cut across the thighs by an unknown Negro. The names of the other white persons cut could not be secured in the confusion last night. The riots began about dark at the corner of Decatur and Pryor streets. The afternoon extras were bought and read. A first assault RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1906. was read; then a second; then a third and then a fourth. Men began to gather in excited groups and discussed the assault. There were cries of "No, not!" This was but the beginning. Mayor Woodward, who heard of the brewing trouble, hurried into the midst of the mob and mounting the drygoods box made a talk in which he urged the men to go home, telling them that the law would hereafter punish the guilty Negroes. He told them that it was not right to punish loitering colored people. He was given a respectful hearing, but no sooner was he done than the crowd began chasing Negroes again. For an hour or more the mob swayed up and down Decatur street from Central avenue to Pryor street It turned into Central avenue and started to make an attack on the Negro skating rink, but was stopped by the police. For an hour the mob contented itself with simply chasing off the streets every Negro who came into sight. "Get the highball on you," he was told and if he did not run he was cuffed and often knocked down. If he ran he was chased a short distance and allowed to go. Negroes were chased on Peachtree Pryor, Decatur, Central, Elge wood, Ivy and Wall streets. The police tried to deal with the mob by persuasion. They thought and so said, that the crowds were mostly composed of youth. This was so to a certain extent, but the youths were from 16 to 21 years old, and they composed only a portion of the mob. There were men and thousands of them there, and they were in a frame of mind that took more than ordinary police authority to curb them. The police believed that after 10 o'clock most of the mob would disperse, but instead of this the crowds continued to grow larger. Men came from Bellwood, Reynoldstown and from all over the city when they heard that there was about to be a general riot. At 10 o'clock there were at least 10,000 men on the streets, and they were becoming more and more turbulent and bent on mischief. It was about this hour when Mayor Woodward again begged the crowd to disperse and go home. They cheered him and returned to their business of chasing and beat-ign Negroes. WILL DROWN THEM OUT "I will drown them out," said the mayor. He ran to the fire alarm box at the corner of Ivy and Decatur Sts. and turned in the general alarm. Soon the entire fire department, headed by Chief Joyner, was on the scene. The Mayor explained to the chief what was up, and instructed him to lay loye all along Decatur street from Ivy to Peachtree and to force the crowd back at the mouth of the nozzles. In a few minutes the pipes were laid and the downpour of water caused the crowds to make a hasty retreat. They did this with a cheer and turned into the side streets. In five minutes the mob had again formed at the corner of Edgewood avenue and Pryor street, out of the reach of the water. Once more the chasing of the colored people began. Colored people were often advised by well-intending white people not to force their way where the mob was holding sway, but many of them seemingly defiant, kept on their way and they soon found that they would have fared better had they taken advice. The mob, making a run from Edgewood avenue into Peachtree, collected at the corner of Marietta, where they were again out of reach of water. By this time there were no colored people in sight of the mob and it was passing the time away with yelling. Then the trolley cars began to come in with colored people on them. Had this but been foreseen and policemen sent out to meet the incoming cars to get the colored people off of them, the riot might have been checked in time. But this could not be foreseen, and when car No. 207 bound for Grant Park via Georgia avenue, came down at Edgewood avenue and stopped at the corner of Marietta street, the mob saw that it was half filled with colored people "Take them off, Kill them, Lynch them," came in shouts from the mob. The crowded car was boarded and many of the colored people beat down to the floor. This was the car in which it was said that three colored men were killed. From this the attacks on the troopley cars became general and they were kept up until the cars ceased to run. The mob began to divide up, and each separate squad took a different street and made a rush for some other portion of the city. THOSE ALLEGED ASSAULTS Something unheard of in the history of Atlanta happened yesterday There were four separate attempts assault. The first happened about 2 o'clock in the afternoon at the home of Mrs. W. H. Chaffin, at Sugar Creek, near the Flat Shoals road, about one mile and a half from the Soldiers' Home, in DeKalb county. The second attempt was at 7 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Frank Arnold, 127 Julian St. The third was at the residence of Henry Lancaster on his step-daughter, Miss Alma Allen, 182 Davis St. about 9:30 o'clock. The fourth was an attack on Mrs. Mattie Hodcombe at 275 Magnolia St. In the first case a posse last night was on a hunt for the Negro In the second case, Henry Green was apprehended by some citizens near the old National Furiture Company and handed over to County Policeman Dunbar and taken to the Fulton county jail. Nothing has been heard' of the Negroes who attacked Miss Alma Allen and Mrs. Holcombe. ATTEMPT ON MRS.

Then appointed as pastor of St. Matthew M. E.

He was sent to the splendid field of Huntington, W. Va. where he now resides. He wished to be remembered to his many old friends through the PLANET. Mr. Pannell's Present. Mr. R. L. Pannell sent us a five gallon bottle of water from Healing Springs, Va. and we are certainly obliged to him for the gift. Every one here who has had any experience with James River water will understand this for numbers of the people around here have given up the habit of drinking water altogether and as lithia water costs just as much, they have confined themselves to the use of whiskey and beer. This present from Mr. Pannell has been at our own disposal too for none of our friends have troubled us enough to ask for a drink. Some of our best friends who used to linger now come seldom and we have more time for office work. Mr. Panell knows how to help a busy man in the discharge of his duties. Deputy Woodford Gone. Sir George E. Woodford, District Deputy Grand Chancellor died Monday, Sept. 24th, 1906 at his home in Lexington, Va. The news of his death came as a shock as he was in good health when we last heard from him and his wife was alling. He was a member of Lexington Lodge, No. 104 and was also the Grand Representative at the last session of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias at Staunton, Va. THE B. M. C.

BY uhabea Ol Rnovuees Two CHAPTER XYNT WO days were spent by the trav- elers at the seigneury of Ste. Marie, and they would very willingly have spent longer, for the quarters were comfortable and the welcome warm, but already the Feds of autumn were turning to brown, find they knew how suddenly the ice and snow came tu those northera lands and how impossible it would be to fin- Ish their Journey if winter were ouce fairly upon them. The old nobleman had sent his scouts by land and by wa- ter, but there were no signs of the Iro- quols upon the eastern thank, so that It ‘Was clear that Du Lhut had been mis- taken. Over on the other side, how- ever, the gray plumes of smoke still streamed up above the trees as a sign that their enemies were not very far oft. The refugees were rested now and refreshed und of one mind about push- ing on. “I am not frightened, Amory, and 1 am quite rested now.” sald’ Adele. “We shall be so much more happy when we are Jn the English provinces, for even now how do we know that that dreadful friar may not come with orders to drag us back to Quebec and Pari? It was Indeed very possible that the vindictive Franciscan, when satistied that they had aot ascended to Montreal or remained at Three Rivers, might seek them on the banks of the Riche- Meu, The seigneur was friendly, but the selineur could not disobey the gov- ernor's order, A great hand stretch- Ing all the way from Versailles seemed to hang over them, even here in the heart of the virgin forest, ready to snatch them up and carry them back into degradation. But the selgneur and his son, who knew nothing of their pressing rea- fons for haste, were strenuous in urg- ing De Catinat the other way, and in this they were supported by the silent Du Lhot : “You have seen my little place.” said the old nobleman, with a wave of bis beruftied, ring covered hand. “It ts not what I should wish 1, but, such as it is, It Is most heartily yours for the winter {f you and your comrades would honor me by remaining. As to madame, T doubt not that my own dame and she will find plenty to amuse and occupy them, which reminda me, De Catinat, that you have not yet been Presented. Theurlet, go to your mis. forsee tinBaen Soak ne —eone Eee"to Ve'so good as to come to us In the hall of the dais” De Catinat was too seasoned to be easily startied, but he was somewhat taken aback when the lady, to whom the old nobleman always referred tn terms of exnigerated respect. proved to be as like a full blooded Indian squaw as the hall of the dais was to @ French barn. “Allow me to present you, M. de Catinat,” said the Seigneur de Ste. FES * if a “Allow me to present you, M. de Ca teat” Marie solemnly, “to my wife, Onega de In Nove de Ste Marie, chate laine by right of marriage to this seign- curs, while retaining in her own right the hereditary chieftainship ov the distaff side of the nation of the Onon degas. My angel. I have been en. deavoring to persuade our friends to remain with us at Ste Marie.” “At least leave your white Illy at ‘Ste. Marie.” said the dusky princess, speaking in excellent French and clasping with ber ruddy fingers the ivory band of Adele “We will hold her safe for you until the ice softens and the leaves and the partridge ber- ries come once more. I know my peo- ple, monsieur, and I tell you that the ‘woods are full of murder.” De Catinat was more moved by the impressive manner of bis hostess than by any of the other warnings which be bad received. Surely she, if any one, must be able to read the signs of the times. “I know not what to do!” he cried in despair. “I must go on, and yet how ean I expose her to these perile? I ‘Would fain stay the winter, but you must take my word for it, sir, that it 4s not possible.” “Du Lhut, you know how things should be ordered,” said the seigneur. “What should you advise my friend to fo, since he Is so set upon getting to the English provinces before the win- ‘ter comes?” “There is but one way,” said Do Lhut, “though even in it there ts dan- river, for the reeds are full of cached canoes. Five leagues from bere is the diockhouse of Poitou, aud fifteen miles. beyond that of Auvergne. We will go. tomorrow to Poitou through the woods aud see {f all be safe. I will go with you, and L give you my word that if the Iroquols are there Gressolon du Lhut will know it. The indy we shall leave here, and if we find thet all te safe we shall come back for her. Then im the same fashion we shall advance, to Auvergne, and there you must wait until you hear where their war parties ate. It is my mind that it will not be very long before we know.” And so it was at Inst agreed, and Adele was consigned to the care of the lady of Ste. Marie, while De Catinat swore thet without a pause he would return from Poitou to fetch her. The old nobleman and his son would fain have joined them tn their adventure. but they had their own charge to watch ‘and the lives of many in thetr keeping, ‘while a small party was safer In the woos. From La Noue to Poitou was but twelve miles down the river, but by ‘the woodland route the distance was ‘more than doubled. ‘The four men walked tu single fle, Du Lhut leading. De Catinnt walked bebind, then Epbra- im Savage, and then Amos, all with thelr weapons ready and with every sense upon the alert. By midday ther were niore than halfway and baited tn a thicket for a scanty meal of bread and cheese. For an hour more they picked their way through the woods, following in the steps of the old French pioneer. Sutdenly Du Lhut dropped upon bis knees and stooped his ear to the ground. He rose, shook his head and walked on with a grave face. “Did you hear something?” whisper. ed Amos, ‘Du Lhut put his finger to bis lps and then tn an Instant was down upon his face with his ear fixed to the ground He sprang up with the look of a man who bas heard what he expected to| hear, “Walk on.” eatd he quietly, “and be have exactly as you have done all ay.” “hat Is tt, then?” “Todians.” “Ia front of us?” “No; behind us They are following we—two, I think.

Now let us follow. them as they followed us and gee it ‘we have better luck.” Tie sped swiftly along the teall, with his musket cocked in bis band, the others following hard upon his heels, but there was no sound and no sign of life from the shadowy woods in front of them. Suddenly Du Lhut stopped and grounded his weapon. “They are still behind us,” he sald. “This is the point where we branched off. They have hesitated a moment, as Fou can see by thelr footmarks, and then they bave followed on.” . “If we go round egain and quicken our pace we may overtake them.” “No; thes are on their guard now. Lie here bebind the fallen log, and we shall see if we can catch a glimpse of them.” A great rotten trunk, all green with mold and blotched with pink and pur ple fungi, lay to one side of where they Stood. Behind this the Frenchman crouched. and bis three companions followed his example, peering through the brushwood screen tn front of them Ten minutes passed. and there was no sign of any living thing behind them. “They are over in yonder thicket.” ‘whispered Du Lbut “Have you seen them ?* “No. “How do you know, then?* “I saw a squirrel come from bis hole In the great white birch tree yon- der. He scuttied back again as if something bad scared bim. From his hole he can see down into that are wood.” “Do you think that they know that THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. | “Et think that we bad best nightfall before we make our Since the Iroquois scouts are. far as this it is likely that they Il thick round Poitou, and we may find ‘the last step the worst unless oe a care.” He paused a moment slanting bead and sidelong ear. a ‘Ste.

They will find that they bave fol- lowed us once too often this time. Stip off your moccasins, moustenr.” De Catinat pulled off bis shoes as directed and Du Lhet did the same. “Put them on as if they were Bloves.” said the pioneer, and an in- stant inter Ephraim Savage and Amos had their comrades’ shoes upon their hands. “You can swing your muskets over your back. So! Now down on all fours, bending Yourselves double, with your bands pressing hard upon the earth. That is excellent. Two men can leave the trail of four, Now come ‘with me, monsieur.” He filtted from tree to tree on a Ine which was parallel to but a few yards distant from that of their comrades, ‘Then suddenly he crouched behind a bush and polled De Catinat down be- side him. “They must pass us in a few min- utes,” he whispered. “Do not fire if you can help it.” Something gleamed in Du Lhut’s band, and his comrade, glancing down, saw that he had drawn a keen little tomahawk from his belt. Suddenly he eew something move. It filtted like a ehadow from one trunk to the other, so swiftly that De Catinat could not have told whether it were beast or human. And then again he saw it, and yet agnin, sometines one shadow, sometimes two shadows. ‘Then for a few moments all was still once more, and then In an Instant there crept out from among the bushes the most terrible looking creature that ever walked the earth—an Iroquois chief upon the war trail. He was a tall, powerful man, and his bristle of sealp locks and eagle feathers made bim look ike a giant In the dim light, for a good eight feet lay between Itis beaded moccasin and the topmost plume of his headgear. Que side of his face was painted in soot, ocher and rermilion to resemble a dog and the other balf asa fowl. His gun was thrown forward, and he crept along with bended knees, peering, lis- tening, pausing, hurrying on, a breath- Ing Image of caution. Two paces be- hind him walked a lad of fourteen, clad aud armed tn the same fashion, but without the painted face. ‘They were just abreast of the bush when something caught the eye of the younger warrior, some displaced twig or fluttering leat, and he paused, with suspicion In every feature, Another instant and be had warned his com- punmiens. Det Shoat cette neh aed buried bis hatchet In the skull of the older warrior. De Catinat heard a dull crash, as when an ax splinters tts way into a rotten tree, and the man fell Uke a log, kicking and striking with bis powerful limbs. The younger war- rior sprang like a deer over his falleu comrade and dashed on Into the wood. Bout an tnstant later there was a gun- shot among the trees in front, followed by a faint walling ery. “That is his death whoop.” said Du Lhut composediy As be spoke the two others came back, Ephraim ramming a fresh charge into bis musket, “Ab, he’s gone,” said Du Lbut. As be spoke the Indian gave a last spasm ‘with bis hands and feet and lay rigid. “He's a great chief,” anid Du Lhut. “Tt is Brown Moose of the Mohawks. and the other Is his second son, We have drawn first blood, but I do not think that {t will be the Inst, for the Iroquois do not allow thelr war chiefs to die anavenged. He was a mighty fighter.” ‘They turned away, leating the red figure stretched under the silent trees. As they passed on they caught a glimpse of the lad lying doubled up among the bushes where he had fallen. ‘The ploneer walked very swiftly until he came ton tittle stream which prat tled down to the big river. Here he slipped off his shoes and leggings and ‘Waded down It with his companions for haif a wile or 89. “They will follow our tracks when they find him.” said he, “but thts wit throw them off, for it 's only on run ning water that an Iroquots can fin?

And now we shall Ne in this clump until! nightfall, for we are little over a mile from Fort Poitou, and it Is dangerous to go forward, for the ground becomes more open.” * And so they remained concealed among the alders while the shadows turned from short to long, and the white drifting clouds above them were ‘tnged with the pink of the setting sun Du Lhut colled himself into a ball, with his pipe between his teeth, and dropped into @ light sleep. pricking up his ears and starting at the slightest sound. ‘The two Americans whispered together for a long Hme het a¢ leet tha eanthine (ai s a i v EW aero be 1b aN i) Mae RSE as AS Rei ee K iA A: ATK ae eee 3 Vth pee 8 PNT SEE ee ee ee ee ee ee B fear, until the partridge berries are out-once more. You must stay at Ste. Marie until then. “I had rather stay there forever than expose my wife to such devils.” “Aye, devils they are if ever devils walked upon earth. And now we are on the very borders of the clearing, and the blockbouse iles yonder among the clump of maples. You did not come as near to Ste. Marie unchal- lenged, and yet De Lannes ts as old a soldier as De la Noue. We can scarce see now, but yonder, near the river, is where he exercises bis men.” “He does so now,” said Amos. “I see a dozen of them drawn up in a line at thelr drill.” “No sentinels, and all the men at aril” cried Du Lhut tn contempt. “It is as you say, however, for I can see them myself, with their ranks open and each ae stiff and straight as a pine stump. One would think, to see them stand #o still, that there was not an Indian nearer than Orange.” Du Lhut advanced from the bushes as he spoke, and the four men crossed the open ground In the direction of the Une of men who waited silently for them in the dim twilight. They were within fifty paces, and yet none of them had raised head or voice to ehal- lenge their appronch. ‘There was some thing uneanny in the silence, and a cbange came over Du Lhut’s face as he peered In front of him. “My God!" he screamed. “Look at the fort!” ‘They had cleared the clump of trees, and the outline of the blockhouse should have shown up in front of them. There was no sign of it. It was gone. So unexpected was the blow that even Du Lhut. hardened from his childhood 2 oye 922, shock aud danger, with an oath, he ran at the top of his speed toward the Hne of fleures, As they drew nearer they could see through the dusk that it was not in deed a line.

Tn Thnt was about, to skirt this, as be bad done others, when sud- deuly he caught De Catinat hy the shoukler and pushed him down behind a clump of sumac, while Amos did the same with Epbraim Savage.

The scouting party under Du Lhut and Achille de Ia Noue bad already left. and at the orders of the seigneur the tyro gates were now secured with huge bars of oak fitted into fron staples on either side, The children were vince in the lower storeroom with a few women to wateb them, while the oth- ers were told off to attend to the fire. buckets and to reload the muskets. The men bad been paraded, fifty-two of them tn all, and they were divided Into parties now for the defense of each part of the stockade. On one side it had been built up to within a few yards of the river, which not only, relieved them from the defense of that face, but enabled them to get fresh water by throwing a bocket at the end of a rope from the stockade. The boats and canoes of Ste. Marie were ¢rawn up on the bank just under the wall and were pivciOUs NOW as offer- ing a Inst means of escape should all else fail. The next fort, St. Louis, was but a few leagues up the river, and, De Ia Noue bad already sent a swift. messenger to them with news of the danger. At least it would be a point on W ch they might retreat should the ‘worst come to the worst. 1 And that the worst might come to the worst was very evident to so ex- perienced a woodsman as Amos Green. He had left Epbraim Savage snoring in a Geep sieep upon the floor and was now walking round the defenses with his pipe in his mouth, examining with a critical eye every detail in connec- tion with them. The stockade was very strong, nine feet high and closely butlt of oak stakes, which were thick enough to turn a bullet. Halfway up it was loopboled in long, narrow slits for the fire of the defenders. But, ou the other hand, the trees grew to with- in a hundred yards of it and formed a screen for the attack, while the garri- son was so scanty that it could not spare more than twenty men at the utmost for each face. His face dark- ened as tie thought of the young wife who had come so far la thelr safe ‘keeping and of the women and chil dren whom he had seen-crowding into the fort. “Would tt not be better if you could send them up the river?” he suggested to the selgneur. “LT should very giadly do so, mon- steur, and perhaps, if we are all allve, we may manage it tonight if the Weather should be clondy, but I can- ‘not spare the men to guard them and I cannot send them without a guard when we know that Iroquois canoes are on the river.” “You are right. It would be mad- ness.” “L have stationed sou op the eastern face with your friends and with fit- teen men. M. de Catinat, will you command the party?” “Willingiy.” “IT will take the south face, as it seems to be the polnt of danger. Du Lhut ean take the north, and five men should be enough to watch the river mide.” “Have we food and powder?” “I have flour and smoked eels enough to see this matter through. As to pow: der, we have all our trading stores to draw upon.” “We bare not time to clear any of these trees?” asked the soldier. “Impossible. ‘They would make bet ter cover down.” “But at least I might clear that patch of brusbwood round the birch sapling which lies between the east face and the edge of the forest. It is good cover for thelr skirmishers.” 3 “Yes; that should be fired without delay.” “Nay; I think that I might do bet- ter,” said Amos. “We might bait a trap for them there. Where is this powder of which you spoke?” “Theuriet, the major domo, is giving out powder In the main storehouse.” “Very goo.” Amos vanished up- stairs and returned with a large linen bag in bis hand. This he filled with powder, and then, slinging it over his sboulder, be carried it out to the clump of bushes and placed it at the base of the sapling, cutting a strip out of the bark immediately above the spot. Then with a few leafy branches and failen leaves he covered the powder beg very carefully over, so that it looked Hike a little hillock of earth. Having arranged all to his satisfaction, be returned. “I think that we are all ready for them pow,” said the seigneur. “I would ‘that the women and children were in a safe place.

Phife the whole outline of the wood was traced in a rolling cloud, and the shower of bytiets rapped up agalast the woolen ‘Wall like hail upon a casement. Having left Adele to the care of ber Indian hostess and warned her for her life to keep from the windows, De Catinat seized bis musket and rushed downstairs. As he passed, a bullet came piping through one of the nar- row embrasures and starred itself in @ little blotch of lead upon the oppo- site wall. The seigneur had already descended and was conversing with Du Lhut beside the door. “A thousand of them, you say? “Yes; we came on a freab trail of a Jarge war party—300 at the least. ‘They are all Mobawks and Cayu- gas, with a sprinkling of Oneidas. ‘We had a running fight for a few | miles, and we bave lost fire men.

The Gring came fp one continvous Tattle now from the edge of the woot, and the air was full of butlets, The assailants. were all trained shots, men who had lived by thelr guus and to whom a shaking band or a dim eye meant poverty and hunger. On the other hand, the defenders were also skilled in Indian fighting and wise In every trick and lure which could pro- tect themselves or tempt their enemies to show. They ‘kept well to the sides of the loopholes, watching through Iit- tle crevices of the wood and fring swiftly when a chance offered. A red leg sticking straight up Into the alr from bebind ‘a log showed where one bullet at least had gone home, but there was little to aim at save a puff and flash from among the leaves or the shadowy figure of a warrior seen for an instant as he darted from one tree trunk to the other. Seven of the Cana- @ians had already been hit, but only three were mortally wounded. The other four still kept manfully to their loopholes. The women sat In a itne upon the ground, beneath the level of the holes, each with a saucerful of bul- lets and a canister of powder, passing up the loaded guns to the fighting mea At Bret the attack had been ail upoa the south face, but as fresh bodies of the Lroquols came up thelr line spread €nd lengthened until the whole east face was girt with fire, which gradual ly enveloped the north also, The fort Was ringed in by a great loop of amoke save only where the Lroad river flowed Past them, Over uear the farther bank the canoes were lurking, and one, man- ned by ten warriors, attempted to pass up the stream, Wut a good shot trom the brass gun dashed in ber side and sank her, while a second of grape left only four of the swimmers, whose high Scalp jocks stood out above the water like the back Gus of some strange fish. On the inland side, however, the seign- eur had ordered the cannon to be served no more, for the broad embra- sures drew the enemy's fire, and of the men who had been struck half were ‘among those who worked the guns. ‘The old nobleman strutted about with his white ruffles and bis clouded cane behind the line of parched, smoke grimed men, tapping bis snaffbox and shooting out his little jests. “What do you think of it, Du Lhut?* he asked. “They seem to be drawing closer upon the east face, and I think that they will make a rush there before jong,” sald Du Lhut. The fire had indeed grown much fiercer upon the side which was de- fended by De Catinat, and {t was plain that the main force of the Iroquois was gathered. at that point. From every log and trunk and cleft and dush came the red flash with the gray halo, and the bullets sang in a contin- Bous stream through the loopholes. Amos had whittled a little bole for himself about a foot above the igo! and lay upon his face, loading fring in bis own quiet, methodicat fashion.

A glance showed that the bullet had pierced his heart and that he was dead. For an instant the old nobleman's thin face grew a shade paler and the hand which held out the little gold box shook like a branch in the wind. "The De la Nues always die upon the field of honor," he remarked. "I think that we should have some more men in the angle by the gun." And now it became clear why it was that the Iroquois had chosen the eastern face for their main attack. It was that the clump of cover lay midway between the edge of the forest and the stockade. A storming party could creep as far as that and gather there for the final rush. First one crouchling warrior and then a second and then a third darted across the little belt of open space and threw themselves down among the bushes. The fourth was hit and lay with his back broken a few paces out from the edge of the wood, but a stream of warriors continued to venture the passage until thirty-six had got across, and the little patch of underwood was full of lurking savages. Amos Green's time had come. From where he lay he could see the white patch where he had cut the bark from the birch sapling, and he knew that immediately underneath it lay the powder bag. He sighted the mark and then slowly lowered his barrel until he had got to the base of the little tree as nearly as he could guess it among the tangle of bushes. The bullet penetrated the bag, and there was an explosion which shook the manor house and swayed the whole line of stout stockades as though they were cornstalks in a breeze. Up to the highest summits of the trees went the huge column of blue smoke, and after the first roar there was a deathly silence, which was broken by the patter and thud of failing bodies. The blow was a heavy one. Of the thirty-six warriors, all picked for their valor, only four regained the shelter of the woods and those so torn and shattered that they were spent men. Already the Indians had lost heavily, and this fresh disaster made them reconsider their plan of attack. Their fire gradually slackened. "Is it possible that they are going to abandon the attack?" cried De Catlinat joyously. But the wily Du Lhut shook his head. "A wolf would as soon leave a half gnawed bone as an Iroquois such a prize as this." "But they have lost heavily." "Aye, but not so heavily as ourselves in proportion to our numbers. They have lost fifty out of a thousand and we twenty out of threescore. No, no: they are holding a council, and we shall soon hear from them again. But it may be some hours first, and if you will take my advice you will have an hour's sleep, for you are not, as I can see by your eyes, as used to doing without it as I am." De Cathat was indeed weary to the last pitch of human endurance. Amos Green and the seaman had already wrapped themselves in their blankets and sunk to sleep under the shelter of the stockade. The soldier rushed upstairs to say a few words of comfort to the trembling Adele, and then, throwing himself down upon a couch, he slept the dreamless sleep of an exhausted man. When at last he was aroused by a fresh sputter of musketry fire from the woods the sun was already low in the heavens, and the mellow light of evening tinged the bare walls of the room. He sprang from his couch, seized his musket and rushed downstairs. The defenders were gathered at their loopholes once more, while Du Lhut, the seigneur and Amos Green were whispering eagerly together. "What is it, then? Are they coming on?" he asked. "They are up to some devilty," said Du Lhut, peering out at the corner of the embrasure. "They are gathering thickly at the east fringe, and yet the firing comes from the north. It is not the Indian way to attack across the open, and yet, if they think help is coming from the fort, they might venture." "The wood in front of us is alive with them," said Amos. "They are as busy as beavers among the underwood." "Perhaps they are going to attack from this side and cover the attack by a fire from the flank." "That is what I think," cried the seigneur. "Bring the spare guns up here and all the men except five for each side." The words were hardly out of his mouth when a shrill yell rose from the wood, and in an instant a cloud of warriors burst out and charged across the open, howling, springing and waving their guns and tomahawks in the air. Some of those in front bore canoes between them, and as they reached the stockade they planted them against it and swarmed up them as if they had been scaling ladders. Others fired through the embrasures and loopholes, the muzzles of their guns touching those of the defenders, while others again sprang unaided on to the tops of the pallisades and jumped fearlessly down upon the inner side. The Canadians fired while they had time to load, and then, clubbing their muskets, they smashed furiously at every red head which showed above the rails. The din within the stockade was infernal, the shouts and cries of the French, the whoping of the savages and the terrified screaming of the frightened women blending into one dreadful uproar, above which could be heard the high, shrill voice of the old seigneur imploring his consensuals to stand last. With Du Lhut, Amos, De Catinat and Ephraim Savage, he was ever in the forefront of the defense. So desperately did they fight, the sword and musket butt outreaching the tomahawk, that though at one time fifty Iroquois were over the palisades they had slain or driven back nearly all of them, when a fresh wave burst suddenly over the south face, which had been stripped of its defenders. Du Lhut saw in an instant that the inclusion was lost and that only one thing could save the house. "Hold them for an instant!" he screamed, and, rushing at the brass gun, he struck his flint and steel and fired it straight into the thick of the savages. Then, as they recouled for an instant, he stuck a nail into the touch-hole and drove it home with a blow from the butt of his gun. Dashing across the yard, he spiked the gun at the other corner and was back at the door as the remnants of the garrison were hurled against it by the rush of the assailants. The Canadians darted in and swung the ponderous mass of wood into position, breaking the leg of the foremost warrior who had striven to follow them. Then for an instant they had time for breathing and for counsel. CHAPTER XXIII BUT their case was a very evil one. Had the guns been lost, so that they might be turned upon the door, all further resistance would have been vain, but Du Lhut's presence of mind had saved them from that danger. The two guns upon the river face and the canoes were safe, for they were commanded by the windows of the house. But their numbers were terribly reduced, and those who were left were weary and wounded and spent. Nineteen had gained the house, but one had been shot through the body, while a second had his shoulder cleft by a tomahawk and could no longer raise his musket. Du Lhut, De la Noue and De Catinat were uninjured, but Ephraim Savage had a bullet hole in his forearm and Amos was bleeding from a cut upon the face. A few shots from the barricaded windows sufficed to clear the enclosure, for it was all exposed to their aim, but on the other hand the Indians had the shelter of the stockade now, and from the farther side of it they kept up a fierce fire upon the windows. Half a dozen of the consti-taires returned the fusillade, while the leaders consulted as to what had best be done. "We have twenty-five women and fourteen children," said the seigneur. "I am sure that you will agree with me, gentlemen, that our first duty is toward them. Some of you, like myself, have lost sons or brothers this day. Let us at least save our wives and sisters." "No Iroquois canoes have passed up the river," said one of the Canadians. "If the women start in the darkness they can get away to the fort." "By Ste. Anne of Beaupre," exclaimed Du Lhut. "I think it would be well if you could get your men out of this also, for I cannot see how it is to be held until morning." "Tutt tutt! What nonsense is this?" cried De in Nono. "Are we to abandon the manor house of Ste. Marle to the first gang of savages who choose to make an attack upon it? No, no, gentlemen; there are still nearly a score of us, and when the garrison learns that we are so pressed, which will be by tomorrow morning at the latest, they will certainly send us relief." "If you stand by the fort I will not desert you," said Du Lhut. "and yet it is a pity to sacrifice brave men for nothing." "The canoes will hardly hold the women and children as it is," cried Theurlet. "There are but two large and four small. There is not space for a single man." The Iroquois were very quiet now, and an occasional dropping shot from the trees or the stockade was the only sign of their presence. The twilight was gathering in and the sun had already sunk beneath the treetops. Leaving a watchman at each window, the leaders went round to the back of the house, where the canoes were lying upon the bank. There were no signs of the enemy upon the river to the north of them. "We are in luck," said Amos. "The clouds are gathering, and there will be little light." "It is luck, indeed, since the moon is only three days past the full," answered Du Lhut. "I wonder that the Iroquois have not cut us off upon the water, but it is likely that their canoes have gone south to bring up another war party." "In an hour it might be dark enough to start." "I think that there is rain in those clouds, and that will make it darker still." The women and children were assembled, and their places in each boat were assigned to them. To Omega, the Indian wife of the seigneur, who was as wary and as experienced as a war sachem of her people, the command of the women was intrusted. "It is not very far, Adele," said De Catinat. "It is but a league or two." "But I do not wish to leave you, Amory. We have been together in all our troubles." "My dear love, you will tell them at the fort how things are with us, and they will bring us help." "Let the others do that, and I will stay. I will not be useless, Amory. Omega has taught me to load a gun. I will not be afraid, indeed I will not." "You must not ask it, Adele. It is impossible, child. I could not let you stay. It is for my sake, dear. You do not know what a load it will be from my heart when I know that you are safe. And you need not be afraid for me. We can easily hold the place until morning." Adele was silent, but her hands tightened upon his arm. Her husband was still endeavoring to reassure her when a groan burst from the watcher in the window which overlooked the stream. "There is a canoe on the river to the north of us!" he cried. "How many warriors are in it?" asked the seigneur. "I cannot see. The light is not very THE RICHMOND PLANE, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA good, and it is in the shadow of the bank." "Which way is it coming?" Then way is it coming." "It is coming this way." Ah, it shoots out into the open now, and I can see it! May the good Lord be praised!" "What is it then?" cried De la Noue impatiently. "It is not an Iroquois canoe. There is but one man in it. He is a Canadian." "A Canadian" cried Du Lhut, springing up to the window. "Who but a madman would venture into such a hornets' nest above? Ah, yes; I can see him now. He keeps well out from the bank to avoid their fire. Now he is in midstream, and he turns toward us." "It is a Jesuit," said one, craning his neck. "They are everywhere there is most danger." "No. I can see his capote," said another. "It is a Franciscan frar." An instant later there was the sound of a canoe grounding upon the pebbles, the door was unbarred, and a man strode in attired in the long, dark gown of the Franciscanans. He cast a rapid glance around and then, stepping up to De Catinat, laid his hand upon his shoulder. "So! You have not escaped me," said he. "We have caught the evil seed before it had time to root." "What do you mean, father?" asked the seigneur. "You have made some mistake. This is my good friend Amory de Catinat, of a noble French family." "This is Amory de Catinat, the heretic and Huguenot" cried the monk. "I have followed him up the St. Lawrence, and I have followed him up the Richelieu, and I would have followed him to the world's end if I could but bring him back with me." "Tut, father! Your zeal carries you too far," said the seigneur. "Whither would you take my friend, then?" "He shall go back to France with his wife. There is no place in Canada for heretics." Du Lhut burst out laughing. "By Ste. Anne, father," said he. "if you could take us all back to France at present we should be very much your debtors." "And you will remember," said De la Noue sternly, "that you are under my roof and that you are speaking of my guest." But the friar was not to be abashed. "Look at this," said he, whipping a paper out of his bosom. "It is signed by the governor, and calls upon you, under pain of the king's displeasure, to return this man to Quebec. But I have you now and I shall never leave you until I see you on board of the ship which will carry you and your wife back to France." De Cathat could but admire the energy and tenacity of the man. "It seems to me, father, that you would have shone more as a soldier than as a follower of Christ." said he, "but since you have followed us here and since there is no getting away we may settle this question at some later time." A great brown cloud had overspread the heavens and the night had fallen so rapidly that they could hardly see the gleam of the river in front of them. The savages in the woods and behind the captured stockade were quiet, save for an occasional shot. Suddenly a dull red glow began to show above one of the roofs of the cottages. "They have set it on fire!" cried Du Lhut. "The canoes must go at once, for the river will soon be as light as clay. In! in! There is not an instant to be lost!" There was no time for leave taking. One impassioned kiss and Adele was torn away and thrust into the smallest canoe, which she shared with Omega, two children and an unmarried girl. The others rushed into their places, and in a few moments they had pushed off and had vanished into the drift and the darkness. The great cloud had broken and the rain patterned heavily on the roof. "Thank God for this storm" murmured Du Lhut. "It will prevent the cottages from blazing up too quickly." but he had forgotten that, though the roofs might be wet, the interior was as A "This is Amory de Catinat, the heretic and Huguenot!" dry as tinder. He had hardly spoken before a great yellow tongue of flame licked out of one of the windows, and again and again, until suddenly half of the roof fell in, and the cottage was blazing like a pitch bucket. The flames hissed and sputtered in the pouring rain; but, fed from below, they grew still higher and fiercer, fashing redly upon the great trees and turning their trunks to burnished brass. Their light made the inclosure and the manor house as clear as day and exposed the whole long stretch of the river. A fearful yell from the woods announced that the savages had seen the canoes. "They are rushing through the woods. They are making for the water's edge," cried De Catinat. "They have some canoes down there," said Du Lhut. "But they must pass us," cried the seigneur of Ste. Murle. "Get down to the cannon and see if you cannot stop them." They had hardly reached the guns when two large canoes filled with warriors shot out from among the reeds below the fort. "Jean, you are our best shot," cried De la None. "Lay for her as she passes the great pine tree. Lambert, do you take the other gun." The two wrinkled old artillerymen glanced along their guns and waited for the canoes to come abreast of them. The fire blazed higher and higher, and the broad river lay like a sheet of dull metal, with the two dark lines which marked the canoes sweeping swiftly down the center. One was fifty yards in front of the other, but in each the Indians were bending to their paddies and pulling frantically, while their comrades from the wooded shores whooped them on to fresh exertions. The fugitives had already disappeared around the bend of the river. As the first canoe cane abreast of the lower of the two guns the Canadian made the sign of the cross over the touchhole and fired. A cheer and then a groan went up from the eager watchers. The charge had struck the surface close to the mark and dashed such a shower of water over it that for an instant it looked as if it had been sunk. The next moment, however, the splash subsided, and the canoe shot away uninjured save that one of the rowers had dropped the paddle, while his head fell forward upon the back of the man in front of him. The second gunner sighted the same canoe as it came abreast of him. It was a beautiful shot. The whole charge took the canoe about six feet behind the bow and doubled her up like an eggshell. Before the smoke had cleared she had foundered, and the second canoe had paused to pick up some of the wounded men. "Quick, quick!" cried the seigneur, "Load the gun! We may get the second one yet!" But it was not to be. Long before they could get it ready the Iroquois had picked up their wounded warriors and were pulling neatly downstream. As they shot away the fire died suddenly down in the burning cottages, and the rain and the darkness closed in upon them once more. "My God!" cried De Cattat furiously. "They will be taken! Let us abandon this place, take a boat and follow them! Come, come! Not an instant is to be lost!" "I do not think that they will be caught," said DU Lhut, laying his hand soothingly upon his shoulder. "Do not fear. They had a long start, and the women here can paddle as well as the men. Besides, these canoes of the Mohawks are not as swift as the Algonquin birch barks which we use. In any case, it is impossible to follow, for we have no boat." "There is one lying there." "Ah, it will but hold a single man. It is that in which the fear came." "Then I am going in that! My place is with Adele!" He flung open the door, rushed out and was about to push off the frail skiff when some one sprang past him and with a blow from a hatchet stove in the side of the boat. "It is my boat," said the flar, throwing down his ax and folding his arms. "I have found you and you shall not escape me again." The hot blood fushed to the soldier's head, and, picking up the ax, he took a quick step forward. The light from the open door shone upon the grave, harsh face of the friar, but not a muscle twitched nor a feature changed as he saw the ax whirl up in the hands of a furious man. He only signed himself with the cross and muttered a Latin prayer under his breath. It was that composure which saved his life. De Caratin hurled down the ax again with a bitter curse and was turning away from the shattered boat when in an instant, without a warning, the great door of the manor house crashed inward and a flood of whooping savages burst into the house. 【TO BE CONTINUED.】 MAXIMS OF HETTY GREEN.

Woman's views on woman's worth take on varied and far-reaching turns. A woman worries over such small affairs that great troubles give her little concern. Most men have a sense of satisfaction in being able to attract the notice of big persons. If women handled men as wisely as they believe they do life would take on a different aspect. Men always show a desire for justice no matter what their personal feelings on the subject. A woman likes to argue a question entirely from the viewpoint of what should be rather than what is. While men devote their best thoughts to money getting they are willing to agree that there is more in life than lucre. BADGER PHILOSOPHY It seems to be lots of fun for rich people to be cranky.

SATURDAY . SEPT. 29TH, 1906 It would be well to remember that Prof. W. E. B. DuBois, the leader of the Niagara Movement and its most able and brilliant member is located at Atlanta University overlooking the bloody work of the mob that killed innocent, defenseless men and women and it seems to emphasize many passages of that most timely address to the country, in which he preached manhood rights as in opposition to cringing servility. EDITOR WHITE'S UNDOING The fact tha. Rev. W. J. White, D. D., editor of the Augusta, Georgia Baptist and one of the most conservative and influential colored men in the country has been notified to leave the home of his later years is a sad reflection upon the existence of a civilized form of government in this free country. We sometimes think that it is too free for some classes. Here is a man, who is educated and who owns property. If we mis take not, if it has not been many months since he installed a Simplex type-setting machine in his plant which is one of the best owned by any Negro concern in the South. Yet he is a stranger in his own country and to him so far as Augusta is concerned, the "door of hope" is closed forever more. He is now a virtual wanderer upon the face of the earth. He is not black for it would be a difficult thing to determine his race by the features which show no trace of Negro origin. But the Ku Klux Klan of his native town says he must leave and at once. He had voiced no incendiary language, but he must leave Georgia. So be it. He is another exiled victim. He is an old man now and what could he do? It is a heart rending picture, one that appeals to the sympathies of the people of this country. All right, old man! Pack up your belongings, leave them for some one to send after you and start upon your errand to find another home. You are a minister of the gospel. You have prayed to Daniel's God and he has never forsaken you. He will hear your appeals now, even though with your broken heart, he shall gather you unto himself. It is a touching conclusion to your brilliant life. It may be that after all, "It is God's way; His will be done, not ours," and so we closed the chapter on what might have been a bloody tragedy. We felt when we read of your un- doing and we feel now that if we could have offered up our life in your defense and stayed the tide that was bearing you away from your peaceful home, we would have done it. The end of usefulness is at hand and your time is set for you to go to your reward. Cheer up. It won't be always winter and on the other side of the river. He will greet you, and bear you towards the Eternal City, where there will be no more sickness, sorrow, pain or death for with His own hand. He will wipe all of the tears from your eyes. BLOODY WORK OF THE MOB. Viewed from any standpoint, the outbreak of mob violence at Atlanta Georgia Saturday, September 22d, 1906 was brutal, cruel, merciless murder. The disappointing feature of it all is the failure of the hunted, colored people to inflict punishment upon those actually engaged in the bloody revelry. It is too late now to do it, for it would be retaliation in a form where innocent white men would be as liable to receive punishment as the guilty. We have carefully read every line of the sad story and no where, not even in Mr. John Temple Graves masterly plea of palliation and given to the press of the country do we find one scintilla of lawful or justifiable excuse for this barbarous maiming, wounding and killing of innocent men and women, whose only offense was that of being born a Negro. We dare say that if the dead people could be brought back to life and questioned, not one could be found who had not deplored the alleged era of lawlessness said to exist in the neighborhood of Atlanta. The principal sufferers are those who have lived upright, Godly Christian lives and the suffering of the children crying for bread and mothers, wives, and relatives mourning over the death of those who have been so unceremoniously butchered. What are the facts as culled from the columns of the Atlanta, Georgia Constitution? It is alleged that four assaults occurred in one day. The logical deductions are that they were criminal assaults, that is assault in which rage was attempted. Mrs. Lizzie Cash Chaffin saw a colored man in the brush and she told him to leave the place. He did not go and she went to the house and got a gun. The colored man was frightened. He came back in the brush again and she fired the gun and he has not been seen since. The logical deduction is since the massacre occurred that he is still running. So ends one attempted criminal assault charge, distorted and magnified by scare line headings in the newspapers. Mrs. Frank Arnold started to her door at about 7 o'clock in the evening when a colored man jumped out from the darkness and knocked her down, immediately running for the woods. There is no statement that the colored man attempted to criminally assault her. Miss Alma Allen was grabbed by a colored man in the rear of her home and thrown down. He did not tarry, but disappeared on short notice. Her screams brought the whole neighborhood, but the man escaped. There is no allegation that the man made any indecent proposals to her or that he disarranged her clothing or that he knocked her down in getting away. Mrs. Mattie Holcombe, an old lady that had no attractions for a white man much less a colored one went to close her blinds when she saw a colored man looking in the window. She screamed and the colored man disappeared, although he had not said anything, neither had he made any effort to injure her. This too was tortured into an attempted assault case and upon this evidence the work of killing innocent, hard working colored people began. The case that had been tried the day before in the court at Atlanta was that of a colored man confessedly drunk, who went into a lighted room where there were a white lady and her three children together. He tried to strike one of the children with a shoe which he held in his hand. The family screamed and ran out while the eldest girl ran into a closet. The colored man was arrested and is now in jail in Atlanta. The explanation of the colored man was characteristic. He said: "Judge, I don't remember a thing that happened last night. If the white folks say I was in that house I reckon it must be so. I got drunk with another Negro and the last thing I remember was when I was in a bar-room on Decatur street. I don't remember anything about taking off a part of my clothes." This then was the most serious allegation made against any of them and this Negro confessed that he had been the victim of some of the white man's "rot-gut" whiskey which a congressman recently declared would transform a peaceful man into a maniac and make a rabbit fight a bull-dog. But this can hardly be made a plea in abeyance and Negroes of this stripe should be placed where they can do no harm. They handicap THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA the race seriously and they are on a par with the murderous white mob that has been guilty of these barbarous outrages. The people behind the scenes who are responsible for this bloody work are not now in the limelight. They are hiding behind the actions of others. The editor of the Atlanta News, who offered a reward of one thousand dollars for a lynching in this gateway to the South is now seen in a meeting held to restore confidence and to check the billows of crime now sweeping over Atlanta. Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., who has also been a prominent figure in this effort to bring on a real race war with all of its harrowing details is now silent. The officers of the law have continued the work to a modified extent of shattering more Negroes and in their senseless zeal are reported to have placed two schools under arrest with the officers of the same. Among these are Rev. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, one of the ablest colored men in this country. He is in charge of Gammon Theological Seminary. The other institution is Clark University. It is alleged that colored people are being arrested for having firearms in their houses although the federal constitution plainly says: "The right to keep and bear firearms shall not be infringed." These officials had no right to do as they have done without first placing that locality under martial law and then "everything goes" so to speak. There is a very gratifying spirit of reaction now being manifested in Atlanta and it may be that the sacrifice made will have its beneficent results. It will tend to prove the blowing off of the safety valve, so to speak and thereby prevent a greater explosion in the future. It will also give colored people in other localities an insight into conditions that may confront them at any time. If they do not take steps to meet it, their blood will be upon their own heads. In such cases, the liberal minded white men, who are friendly to us are for the time being powerless and can do but little until after the first damage is done. The latent feeling in our favor will now assert itself throughout the country and it may be that the temporary check of the anti-Negro agitation will enable us to recuperate and prepare for the next. It is needless for us to condemn the Negro criminal for all of the leaders of color have been waging a systematic war against him. He is the logical product of the white man's brutality and bestiality. We shall continue to exercise ourselves in eliminating him for he is really more dangerous to us and our interests than he is to himself. The white hoodlum is also a factor to be considered and if the better classes of both races will combine to restrict and punish both of these irritating elements, the prosperity of this section will not again be materially retarded and the South held up to the scorn of the civilized world. We have no doubt, but what the Russian Ambassador at Washington has cabled copious extracts from the massacreing of Negroes in Atlanta to his imperial master at St. Petersburg, by way of the Foreign Office and all resolutions bearing upon the slaughtering of the Jews will be answered, by a cynical reference to the revolutionary conditions now existing in one of the leading cities in the Southland. It would be well to remark that because about eleven Negroes frightened and struck white people a mob undertook to kill thirty-five thous and other colored people who were in no wise responsible. But, such are the ways of the mob. This brings us back to our original proposition that the only way to deal effectually with a lawless body of this kind, be it black or white is to shoot the life out it or convince it that you are ready to do it. Colored men should not retaliate. The country will not stand for it and the race cannot afford it. The time to punish is when the lyncher, the mob-leader is about to take your life. When that time ends, the chance is gone. Atlanta is in mourning and the colored people of the country are in tears. Let us have peace. LEADERS SHOULD STAND FIRM Colored leaders of the Southland should stand their ground and not be driven out because the lawless elements see fit to threaten their lives. The situation down here is critical, we know, but already the work of depriving the race of able, courageous leadership has been too successfully carried out. Few peo ple realize the risk being taken in this section of the country in speaking for the rights of a progressive but down trodden and oppressed people. The cringing servile elements are with us and will be to the end of the chapter, but still manhood is at a premium. The trouble is with the vicious, hoodlum white elements, who are on a par with the vicious, hoodlum Negro elements. The bet ter class of both races have much trouble in controlling both elements when led by unscrupulous men anxious to secure notoriously. Just as white men find it difficult to repress a feeling of resentment against all Negroes for crimes committed against white people by some Negroes, so colored men find it difficult to repress a feeling of resentment against all white people for crimes committed against Negroes by some white people. We should understand that we must discriminate in this matter and visit condemnation only in quarters where it is deserved. The doctrine now being enunciated in the South that Negroes must not have firearms, while white men must own all that they can buy or have given them is not the logic or the doctrine that will have favor with any fair minded man be he white or black. A man's home is his castle and so long as he con fines his efforts to its defense, he is within his legal rights. Despite all of the appearances to the contrary, there are tens of thousands of white men favorable to the Negro in Georgia. They are woefully in the minority however and the occurrences of the last few days would indicate that until the Negro decides to make friends with himself and in the matter of lynch law and mob rule protect himself, his last condition will be worst than the first. Colored leaders, let us stand our ground either on top of the earth or within its bosom. Others have died for us. It seems to us that we can at least die for ourselves, while we "earnestly contend for the faith once delivered unto the saints." We can voice the words of Shakes peare in our reply to hideous warmings: "There is no terror, Cassius in your threats. For I am armed so strong in hon esty, That they pass me by like the idle winds. DRAGGED BY THE HEELS Colored Woman Assaulted and Threatened With Death by Two Negroes. York, Sept. 26.—A posse of constables armed with shotguns is scouring the river hills of Peach Bottom township in search for Charles Jamison, colored, charged with an assault on Mrs. George Johnson, colored. Jamison and a companion of the same color named Charles Smith are charged by Mrs. Johnson with assault and attempted murder. Mrs. Johnson says she was assaulted by two colored men and dragged by the heels a long distance on the public road, when she was strapped to a board, thrown into a wagon and conveyed three miles to an abandoned quarry, where her assailants intended to drown her to hide their crime. One of the men lost his nerve when the quarry was reached and a quarrel took place between the two, during which she managed to escape her captors. Smith was captured and confessed. Jamison is still at large, and is said to be armed and is hiding in the river hills. WILL SUE SUGAR TRUST Receiver of Looted Philadelphia Bank After a Refinery Philadelphia. Sept. 26.—President Roosevelt is in possession of evidence furnished by Receiver Earle, of the wrecked Real Estate Trust company, which is expected to result in proceedings by the department of justice against the so-called sugar trust. One of the assets of the Real Estate Trust company is the sugar refinery in this city built by Adolph Segal, the promoter, whose borrowings from Frank K. Hipple, the suicide president of the bank, were responsible for the collapse of the institution. The American Sugar Refining company holds a controlling interest in the refinery, which has never been operated, and Receiver Earle hopes to show that it was tied up as a result of a conspiracy in which the sugar combine was involved. them Open Fire on Him. Danville, Va., Sept. 25. As the result of a fight on a bridge near the city between C. L. Perrow, 18 years old, son of a prominent farmer, and four negros, young Perrow lies at the point of death and Ed Graves, one of the negros, was perhaps fatally stabbed by the white man. Perrow and the negros had been drinking together, and Perrow became involved in a difficulty with Graves, stabbing him several times with a knife. The negros then fired at Perrow 17 times. George Roberts, one of the negros arrested, had two pistols, the chambers of which were all empty. Ed Graves, the negro who was cut, is guarded at his home. Three bullets took effect in the body of Perrow. Labor Unionists In Politics Labor Unionists In Politics. Scranton, Pa., Sept. 25—George A. Kotzwinkle, an officer of the Cigar-makers' Union, was nominated for the legislature by the Democrats of the Third Lackawanna district, in which Fred Erhart has been renominated by the Republicans. Kotzwinkle is the sixth labor unionist nominated for the legislature by the Lackawanna Democrats. The Republicans have nominated two. In addition to this, the Democrats have nominated District President T. D. Nicholls, of the United Mine Workers, for congress. Valuable Cargo of Canned Fruit Valuable Cargo of Canned Fruit. San Francisco, Sept. 26.—The British sslp Wanderer has cleared for England with 70,000 cases of canned fruit, valued at over $250,000, of which 60 per cent. was prepared here in a cannery built and equipped since the April fire. U. S. INTERVENTION IS NOW CERTAIN Cuban Officials Force It by Resigning Rather Than Yield to Rebels. READY TO RUSH TROOPS THERE Havana, Sept. 26.—The Cuban republic stands on the verge of a second period of American intervention. The Moderate party, which six weeks ago was in absolute control of every office in the island, national, provincial and municipal, is determined to abdicate everything and compel the United States to intervene. In fact every government official, from President Palma down, is sincerely anxious to force such intervention rather than yield to any one of the terms offered by the Liberal party and those in arms against the government. It is declared on very high authority that American intervention in Cuba is certain. Furthermore, it is expected that the proclamation of intervention will be issued from Oyster Bay. The Liberal leaders characterize the conduct of the government as treason to the republic, while Secretary of War Taft regards it as an unwarranted and dishonorable attempt to force the hand of the United States into intervention. This, it has been stated, is precisely what the Roosevelt administration has been most anxious to avoid. It is still just barely possible that President Roosevelt, through Secretary Taft and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon, may yet arrange to establish the Liberals in control of the Cuban government, but this is regarded only as the remotest sort of possibility. With either party installed in power, there would still remain a condition of deplorable dissatisfaction and unrest, and there appears nothing whatever to promise relief save full control by the United States. The real feeling at the palace is one of relief in the prospect that the adversaries of the government will not win, even though the government loses, combined with the satisfaction that the United States will be obliged to take over Cuba indefinitely and possibly forever. Palma Calls Extra Session Congress. President Palma has called a special session of congress for Friday, when he will present the resignations of himself and Vice President Mendez Capote. The Moderates, however, will not attend that session of congress, for in their hurriedly called national Moderate assembly they decided unanimously simply to quit forthwith. They will not even attend the approaching session or have anything more to do with the government of Cuba, alleging that they have been unjustly treated by President Roosevelt's commissioners. This determination is taken by Meesss, Taft and Bacon, however, as another indication that the Moderate leaders, since they can no longer control the government themselves, are determined, at whatever cost, that the Liberals shall not now or hereafter obtain control. At the conclusion of the Moderate assembly Vice President Mendez Capote called on the American commissioners and declared that he had been instructed by the Moderate national assembly to draft a reply to Secretary Taft's letter to President Palma, in which peace terms were suggested. After this interview Senior Mendez Capote said to the Associated Press: Vice President Capote Resigns. "I have resigned freeworcably my position as vice president of the republic. I resigned because the resignation of President Palma was forced upon him by causes detrimental to the dignity and decorum of the office of chief executive. The president will convene congress in extraordinary session on Friday to consider his resignation and my own." Mendez Capote said further that the entire body of Moderates in both houses, as well as the entire Liberal National, or Nunez party, would refrain from attending the extraordinary session. As the Moderates and the Nationalists comprise more than two thirds of each house, there will be no quorum. This will block action and prove that the structure of constitutional government no longer exists. Condemned: Capote Resigns. Mendez Capote emphatically condemned the policy of the American peace commissioners, and said he expressed the opinion of many of the members of his party when he declared that Secretaries Taft and Bacons had placed themselves unreservedly on the side of the Liberals and against the existing recognized government. He said that even had they accepted the basis of peace first presented by the mediators he did not think the island would have remained at peace for 30 days. The formal draft of the terms sent to the palace was rejected. This action was not expected by Secretary Taft, notwithstanding the fact that it had been threatened by certain of the government officials, and it practically caused him to abandon his efforts toward a settlement that would continue the sovereignty of the republic. Although intervention appears to be certain, both Secretaries Taft and Bacon say that such a course would not be taken so long as a government remains with which they can treat, but in face of the personal communication from President Palma that he is about to throw over the whole matter, Secretary Taft has no great expectation that the present government will endure for long. Secretary Taft feels keenly that President Palma has been insincere in the negotiations with the American commissioners, in that he had entered upon the negotiations with the voluntary promise to abide by the decision of the commissioners, and then rejected the very first suggestion made, and also refused to offer any counter plans. This convinced Secretary Taft that President Palma intended to accept only in the event that the decision favored the existing政 ernment, and when Palma sent word that he intended to resign, Mr. Taft was further convinced that the president of Cuba would wreck the government of the republic rather than make personal or party sacrifices. RUSHING MARINES TO CUBA The Navy Department Orders 1500 More to Sail Washington, D. C., Sept. 26.—Fifteen hundred more American marines were ordered to Cuba by the navy department. Five hundred marines from the Atlantic fleet sailed on the battleships Indiana and Kentucky from Provincetown, Mass.; 800 or 900 marines will sail on Thursday from Boston, Norfolk and Philadelphia, and the remainder will probably leave New Orleans for Havana on a Morgan line steamer scheduled to leave there Saturday. In addition to the marines there will be nearly 2000 more bluejackets sent to Cuba. As there are now 1200 marines in Cuba and over 3000 bluejackets, when the vessels sailing this week arrive in Havana the United States will be ready to land a force of more than 7000 on Cuban soil. The American warships which will sill on Thursday will be the cruiser Brooklyn now at League island navy yard, Philadelphia; the battleship Texas, which is being repaired hastily at the Norfolk navy yard, and the converted cruiser Prairie, which is at Boston. Ready to Land Troops There. That the events as told in the press dispatches have hastened plans which have been long in preparation seems apparent. Additional warships will reach Cuba within a few days, and will be ready to land marines, if necessary, long before the regular troops now awaiting orders can be moved. Should armed intervention come, these forces will undoubtedly form the vanguard of the invading army. AUTO CAUSED RUNAWAY Young Lady May Die Of Injuries Received in Fall From Carriage. Easton, Pa., Sept. 25.—A runaway accident, due to the frightening of a horse by an automobile near Bangor, may result in the death of *I Miss Bellinda Graham*, of Wilkes-Barre. Miss Graham was out driving with Harry Ferans, of that place. The couple had stopped at the Nazareth junction of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad when an automobile came tearing down the hill. The horse became frightened and started on a mad run. The carriage was thrown against a fence and the occupants fell out. A sharp stick entered *I Miss Graham*'s neck within an eighth of an inch of the jugular vein and she bled profusely. She was hurried to the home of her sister, where her condition is precarious. Ferans was seriously hurt. The automobile that caused the trouble got beyond the control of the driver. Miss Graham is about 26 years old. GUNBOAT HELENA NOT LOST Vessel Reported Wrecked in Storm Arrives at Shanghai. Washington.

Hatch, a member of the freshman class at the University of North Carolina, shot and perhaps fatally wounded Bernard O'Neill, a sophomore. O'Neill received a bullet in his right groin and was carried to the college infirmary, where he is in a serious condition. Hatch, who is a youth of 17, stated that while crossing the campus in a patch of woods in semi-darkness a crowd of students caught hold of him and he fired. O'Neill's companions say they were strolling along the campus with no thought of Hatch until they came upon him. He drew his gun and then they caught hold of him in self-defense. VIII.

In a moment he was covered with flame. Mrs. Sarah Peterson, who lives in the same house, wrapped her skirt about him and smothered the blaze, after which the boy was sent to the city hospital, where his con- dition was pronounced serious. When res>ued, the lad, withholding his tears, calmly thanked the woman. Before the arrival of Mrs. Cottle, who thad been downtown on a shopping trip, the fire department had been t oN oe th fi i ay ew’ sd \§ Scene called, the police notified and the entire neighborhood aroused. The boy's injuries consist of severe burns about. the chest, face and hands, pieces of fesh being burned off. ‘The boy is a pupil in the Peabody school, where the children of the neighborhood attend. | In vacation time the youngsters Amuse themselves with “penny shows.” Johnnie attended one of these performances a few days ago and witnessed the fire-spitting trick. He learned how it was done and want- ed to do the performance bimselt. ‘The absence of his mother gave the lad his chance. With his sister, Della, two years his senior, he had been left In care of Mrs. Peterson, who permitted him to play in the back yard. Knowing that his mam- ma had not locked their apartments, the boy slipped away from his sister and burried upstaire to try the trigk. " Neighbors were startled to hear the child's screams and to see his blaz- ing figure at the kitchen window. His little sister was in the yard, and, seeing her brother on fire at the win- dow, ran screaming to the front door snd up the stairway. Mrs, Peterpog followed the Ittle xtrl and re the room to find the boy clutching frantically at his clothes. She wrapped her skirt about him and smothered the flames. GRABS CHILD FROM PILOT. Life of Little Giri Is Saved by a Brave Fireman. : ‘Shenandoah, Pa—One of the most herale a4 thrilling rescues ever seen here took pace the other day. A heavy freight tra? hauled by two lo- ‘comotives, was speeu.S slong when Fireman George Opp, of tac SP8t em ine spied a little child on the tr™# ahead. He had barely time to run along the footboard of the engine, and, swinging himself out on the pilot, with one arm wrapped Sound the drawhead, he low- ered himself as far as he could, and ‘with the other arm quickly Iffted the Uttle girl from in front of the locomo- tive. ‘As soon as he had done this he Jumped to the side of the track, placed the child in the grateful mother's arm, and then jumped on his engine, ‘and began working as though nothing manusual had happened. ‘The mother was overcome by emo- ‘tion, and could barely express her thanks for the brave and clever act wf Fireman Opp. Starving Man Eats Grase. | New York.—Two boys playing tn a lot at One Hundred and Fifty-ninth street and Decatur avenue discovered @ man crawling in the tall grass and gnawing hungrily at the green blades.

Sept. 26—The known dead, who have met death in connec- tlon with the riots bere since last Sat- urday night, number one white man ‘and 18 negroes. To this number might be added the name of Mrs. Robert P. ‘Thompson, an estimable white woman, ‘who dropped dead Monday evening as two negroes were shot and beaten in her sight. . ‘The third day of Atlanta's race war Passed without serious disturbance. Rumors literally by the hundreds have been brought to the attention of the authorities and to the newspapers, but not in a single instance had any of the stories been verified. Four attempts at assault on white women by negroes within or near the Umits of the city wrought white cltt- zens here to a pitch of excitement. The assaults followed two others of ‘& siinilar nature -within the week and at least half a dozen others within the last two months, and brought a sifmax Saturday night. The usual Saturday night crowds were largely increased by men and boys, who thronged the downtown streets. There was no leader and no overt act until late in the evening. A negro man shoved a white woman from the sidewalk on Whitehall street, in the centre of the town. Almost st- multaneously a negro woman made an insulting remark to a white man on an adjoining street, and he adminis- tered what he considered due punish- ment. From this start the mob began its work of destruction. Five thousand men and boys thronged the downtown streets look ing for negroes. News that a riot had started brought thousands more from their homes in the suburbs and residence districts, until fully 10.000 men thronged the downtown section. They made attacks on the incoming street cars. Each car was scanned for negroes. The trolleys were pulled from the wires, and in the seml-dark ness of the unlighted cars negroes were beaten, cut and stamped upon tn an unrensoning, mad frenzy. »If a ne To ventured resistance or remonstrat. ed it meant practically sure death. One car, half filled with negroes, ap proached from an outside rum. The mob dgshed for the car. Resistance ‘was made by the negroes, who had not been apprised of trouble. Three ne- groes lay dead on the floor of the car when It was permitted to move on, and two more were seriously beat- en and unconsctous. The entire fire department was called ‘out to clear the streets, and when that move failed the governor was called on to order out the militia, afd he promptly complied. ‘The attacks on negroes had the ef- fect of clearing the streets of blacks, Street hacks were abandoned at curb- ings; drivers on baggage wagons van- {shed and thelr places were taken by white men. This fear of trouble has affected several public conyentences Sunday. The postoffice officials had much difficulty in dolivering special letters; ice deliveries have been scarce to private homes; in some restaurants service has been restricted by the ab- fence of regular walters. Throughout the day hundreds of negroes have been fleeing the city, by train and wagon and on foot. They have hurried trom the city, fearing the possibilities of trouble in the immedaite future, KILLED IN PRIZE FIGHT Jack McKenzie Dies of Blow In Stom- ach at Portland, Me.

Tor New Vork Banker Picked up ' Phila. Philadelphia, Sept. 23.—An ..1ernal machice, addressed to Jacob Bebiff, w New York banker, was picked up Off the street here by David Thompron, 4 colored boy, who found it near @ mail box. The boy gave the package to Henry Sulzman, a postman, who ear- ried to the sub-station and deposited it with the outgoing mail. Superin- tendent J. C. McKnight noticed that the wrapper was torn, and while hand- ling St he observed a grain of powder which fell from the box, and he mme- diately threw the package into a pail of water. ‘ After it had remained immersed for several hours it was taken out and examined. The box was made of pasteboard and was 10 Inches long, 4 inches wide and 1 inch in depth. In- side were placed two rolls of paste- board, which held in place a match box filled with gunpowder and bullets, Matches had been sunk into the pow- der, their heads resting againat the top of the match box, which had been backed with sandpaper, To the lid of the match box was fastened a piece of string with @ Jewish New Years card attached to the other /end.

THE DAIRY FOR SELF-SUCKING COW. The self-sucking cow is a nuisance. A correspondent of the Montreal Herald has this to say about preventive methods: I have tried the spiked halter and the neck cradle, but have found that a determined cow was equal to circumventing either device. I have a cow now that has smashed up two neck cradles and to which a spiked halter proved useless, but since but since using the contrivance on her nose she finds it absolutely impossible to suck herself, and I find the To Keep Cow from Sucking. benefit: in the milk pail. The device is very simple and does not hinder the animal from feeding in the pasture. It consists of two pieces of iron (1) and a small piece of wood (2). The iron is shaped like the orinary "humbug" to fit into the nostrils and the lower ends are screwed firmly to the wood. When fixed in the animal's nostrils the wood hangs down over her lips and prevents any attempt to take the teat in her mouth. I have found it an absolute preventative and don't think there can be any better contrivance of a simple nature. PARAFINING CHEESE It Must Not Be Done Until the Cheese Has Done Shrinking. Paraffining is a profitable process, and is not likely to be abandoned. But there are things about it that must be learned. One of these is that cheese must not be paraffined too quickly after coming from the hoops. In that case the shrinking of the cheese afterwards causes the paraffine to crack and the air gets into the cracks and of course quickly dries out the cheese in spots. After coming from the hoops the cheese should be permitted to remain uncoated for about a week, according to the experiences of some cheesemakers. The paraffining of cheese, says Farmers' Review, is to save the loss from shrinkage. Probably the cheese is better for retaining this moisture, as a dry cheese is not so desirable as a moist one. It is probable that the ripening will go on more uniformly in a moist cheese than in a dry one and that the curing will be more complete. DAIRY NOTES. Begin to feed those that are to be turned off. It seidom pays to feed old animals for profit. Now is the time to put old animals in condition to sell. Uses the test and know which are the best. Don't guess at it. The best time to fatten is in warm weather; the best way, a little grain with the pasture. Dry off the poor cows now and fatten them before the weather is cold. Be wise and keep only the best. Are the cows well supplied with green fodder? If not you cannot expect them to keep up the supply of milk. Keep the calves away from the torture of files. Remember that the future prosperity of the dairy is dependent upon these calves. I still see, in driving around the country, calves in the pig pasture. It is a loss to the owners, to say nothing of the suffering of the poor defenseless calves. They should be protected from the torture of flies by the use of some good spray, and kept in out of the sun during the hottest part of the day. Farm Journal. FARM BITS. In Germany $12\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. of all the land cultivated is planted to potatoes. This is for human food, stock feeding and alcohol making. Take advantage of rainy days and mend some of the harness. It is not safe to allow the harness to get weak. The springs are low now. Good time to dig them out and make them larger and better. Stone them up, too, and put a good cover over them. I know of some good calves that have been drowned in open springs. Fix up just the best you can when you go out driving. It makes the wife and children proud when they see "what a fine looking man father is." Keep your eye out for a sapling that will make a good harness hook. Often, when in the woods, you may come across one. Cut it and take it home to be nailed up in the right place in the stable. Best Time to Cut Timber.

The young cow is an unknown quantity. No man living can tell the first year whether a cow is worth little or much. Some of the cows that have produced such small quantities of milk and butter fat that their owners have thought it wise to sell them have in later years developed into remarkable milkers. This fact is not only known to individual farmers, but has been demonstrated at our experiment stations. At the Michigan station one young cow that was a very small producer of milk and butter fat, and had more of the beef form than the dairy form, in subsequent years greatly changed her characteristics. As she grew older the beef form largely disappeared, and her form took on the wedge-shaped peculiar to the dairy cow. She became a producer of milk in such immense quantities and of such richness that she obtained a national reputation. In the early days of the Babcock test, many farmers disposed of young cows on the presumption that the test the first year had shown about what the cows would do in subsequent years. It was not long, however, before the professors of dairying and dairy experts everywhere began to advise the farmers against the practice. The young cow, if poorly fed, will develop but slowly (or not at all) into a good cow. If with her the old practice is followed of giving her only dry forage in winter and nothing but pasture grass in summer, it is doubtful if she will develop her full capacity for milk giving before she is seven or eight years of age. It, however, she is fed a good ration and one in accordance with the best scientific methods, she will develop about her full capacity by the time she is four or five years of age. It will take about three years of milking, says the Farmers' Review, to show what she is worth in any case. Our advice concerning the young cow is to give her a bountiful supply of feed, balancing up the concentrated foods with a large quantity of rough feeds, such as hay or silage, so that she will not overeat. There is no danger of an animal overeating if the bulky foods are in sufficient proportion. Danger only comes when she is allowed to eat a quantity of concentrated foods, or when she is given an unlimited quantity of green alfalfa, which is excessively rich in nitrogen. ```markdown ``` A SANITARY MILK STRAINER. Careful straining of milk is important if it is to be gotten to the dairy in the very best condition. One difficulty with many strainers, says the Farm and Home, is they are hard to clean and very unsanitary. The Milk Strainer. sketch shows a form of tin strainer over which a piece of cheese cloth is stretched which is easily cleaned and very simple to use. Two or three thicknesses of cheese cloth are pressed over the top of the funnel shaped tin and a ring, which is slightly larger, pulled down tightly to hold strainer cloth. This strainer will set comfortably in the can or other vessel and may be cleaned quickly and thoroughly. Feed According to Individual Needs. Dairy cows should be fed according to their age, size and requirements. Large cows need more feed than the smaller ones and any cow in the flush of her milk flow needs more food than when she is only giving a limited quantity. A. Bulnous Policy. Selling the whole milk off the farm is ruinous of fertility and can only be afforded when the receipts for the milk are so good as to afford a return to the land by the purchase of food for the stock or of fertilizers. A. Winning Combination. The combination that wines is pure, well bred, well kept stock. These are important. But it is equally important to have the cows well trained. Milking habits may be ideal also. The Young Cow. A young cow should not be judged too hastily. She is not at her best with her first calf. If she has the right breeding, and the right feeding, she probably will come out all right with her second calf. The Feeding of the Calf. If a calf is fed skim milk, the butter fat should be replaced by something else. Otherwise an important element is lacking in its food, and it will be seen in its growth and maturity. Cultivation of the Orchard. Cultivation should be kept up during the life of the orchard, yet after trees are well established it is not so imperative. It is highly advisable to keep up high cultivation for at least the first four or five years. Never send beets, turnips, radishes, etc., to market with quantities of soil adhering to them. 'It soils the hands of the buyer and the reputation of the seller. Expert Testimony. Dottie - I wonder if a blonde is more attractive to men than a brunette?

The Lord's lambs do not need to look sheepish. The forethought that sows is the faith that reaps. It's never hard to read the spiritual significance of other people's sorrows. To be genuine is a long step towards being godly. Nobody talks much about the back doors on Easy street. He is false to his God who fears to be true to himself. The rewards of faith are not given for the service of fear. The dogmatic man's bark comes out of a toothless mouth. ou will never find the kingdom by looking for it in a cash box. Take care of your character, and your credit will take care of itself. There are few things more misleading than a manufactured martyrdom. No man ever did anything heroic so long as he had one eye fixed on his halo. The man who calls himself a vile worm usually is crawling after the dust. The man who has a bed roses usually sits up nights picking out the thorns. The apepal to heroism within wins more men than the promise of heaven beyond.—Chicago Tribune. SAID BY THE SAGES.

This prolongs the feast, and is an entertainment all sufficient. They may also be presented in the form of a "cob-web;" this necessitates the articles being sent to the hostess beforehand. Still another way is to hide the parcels, then have some one play loud and soft music on the piano, according to whether the "bride" in her search is "warm" or "cold," in other words, whether "she" is far or near the object.

The present day doctrine of beauty demands serenity and patience through small trials as well as fortitude in meeting life's larger ills. Wrinkles and lines are an index to one's life book. The selfish, cold, unsympathetic woman has a signboard on her face and she advertises her unloveliness by growing box plaits between her eyes, by allowing her mouth to droop at the corners and take on a doleful air and by making a portrait of misery out of herself in which she really rejoices. But the optimist, the individual of good cheer and laughter and helpful deeds, sails serenely along the high seas with a pleasant, beaming face, which makes her remain so young that she never really outgrows her happy days of mud ples and pinafores. She is a general delight and beauty to humanity. While drug shops and masseuses will do a lot to preserve one's youth, the really youthful woman is the optimistic, sympathetic one. Beauty that attracts the admiration of the crowd brings small reward, but the beauty that creates love and friendship is the foundation of a youthful old age. Be pretty and young looking if you can—it will help some. Beauty is not beauty that is only skin deep. A Delightful Gown for Afternoon Wear.

And no wonder, for it was the afternoon of the great game between the Easts and the Wests, rival teams who for generations of Hillsdale boys had battled hard against each other. A low-lying common a short distance from the town had always been the field of action. Bobby Case, a cripple, was the first boy on the diamond. He walked from base to base and lovingly touched them with his foot. He was discouraged. "Gee, I wish I could play just once. It's such a bully day, too," he said. He then looked across the field. Not a boy was in sight, and he gave a sigh of relief. How ashamed he would have been to have let the fellows know he had come early just to touch the bases. Bobby had never expressed a wish to the boys that he wanted to play ball, or even dreamed of doing so. Presently the noisy whistling and calling announced the Easts and "Thank You." He Said. Wests and their respective admirers. The opposing teams were well matched. Enthusiasm reigned supreme. But Bobby sat silent on the fence. He was called "hon. sub." for the Easts. There was a little argument, and the game started. The Wests had scored and the Easts had failed. Then the Easts held first place, and then by some mysterious chance the game became a tie. "If I could play just once," thought poor Bobby. It was Jim's turn to bat. The boy's freckled face was flushed with excitement; he understood that so much depended upon him. He grasped the old worn bat firmly in his dirty hands. He paused, then, strangely attracted toward Bobby, he looked at the little fellow. The longing in the boy's face stirred within Jim's heart a deep understanding that startled him in its intensity. He dropped the bat, and held out his hands toward the boys. "Born," he said. "Boys," he said, "I can't bat. And, say, let Bob Case bat in my place." There was a deep silence. Such a thing had never before happened in the annals of Hillsdale's baseball history. The game tie! Did the law allow such a queer thing? "Why?" stammered the captain of the Easts. "Oh, Bobby can bat," replied Jim, wondering at his audacity in the face of possible defeat. "I've seen him bat, heaps of times, practicing in his dad's orchard." And this was true. "I say, fellows, he's a sub; so it's all square, you know." "Your arm tired?" jeered the Wests' bleachers. In the meantime Bobby sat, confused, on the fence. He was strangely happy to know that he had even been considered by Jim, for he had no hope that his wish could be gratified. "I'll risk Bobby," continued Jim. "Please, fellows, say 'yes.' I'll run for him, too." "Go ahead!" shouted the Wests. "All right," answered the Easts, confidently. Another brief discussion of ways and means and Bobby was given a place of honor. Enthusiasm and disapproval were shown by the audience. But Bobby was confident. He would show his comrades his worth. He assumed the air of a professional, even though it was his first public appearance. "Let her go!" he called. One strike, one ball—two balls, three balls, two strikes. Bobby was still alert and confident. The bleachers became suddenly interested. One of the boys called out: "Casey at the Bat," then the others echoed the words. This encouraged Bobby; it was like his dream. Then Jim had said he could bat. The pitcher paused, measuring his opponent. Then Bobby hit. Such a ball—nothing like it in the annals of the Easts' history. Jim was on second, third. What were the Wests doing, and where were their quick plays? The boys were wild. Jim had touched the home base. The Easts had won. "Casey at the bat!" the boys called over and over again. Even the Wests were obliged to acknowledge that Bobby was a "blinger." Bobby stood, bashful and very happy, receiving the homage of his friends. They no longer considered him a "girl boy." He had had his chance and was now a "Casey at the Bat." The lonely practice days in his father's orchard had proved of some avail. He could bat. The Easts had won, and he had helped. "Thank you," he said, holding out his hand to Jim. "Casey at the bat" still clings to Bobby Case. Though he cannot always play, the honor of that one day makes him happy and proud.—Detroit Free Press. "He said he'd kill himself if she refused him."
