Mr. Lee Wright spent several days in Kansas City last week. Mr. A. W. Walker was in St. Joseph last week attending the Republican convention. I think it is a strong ticket and every Republican ought to support it. This is the year they ought to stay by their ticket closer than ever before.

The colored Fair of Lafayette county, which will be held at Higginsville on the 23rd, 24th and 25th. Premiums are offered on fancy work, live stock, poultry, etc. There will also be racing each day. See bills for full particulars. Jersey's Mild Police Court. The police court of St. Heller, the principal town of Jersey, England, is remarkable in several respects. First, the proceedings are always opened with prayer, second, it frequently happens that after prayers there is no more business, and every one goes home. There is so little crime committed in the island that the police force (twenty strong), is kept up only for visitors. Perfume and Moth Preventive A pleasant perfume and moth preventive is made of cloves, caraway seeds, nutmeg, mace, cinnamon and Tonka beans—an ounce of each. Add as much Florentine orris root as will equal the total amount of the other ingredients. Put together, grind into a powder and put in little bags among your clothes. Bird Killed by Golf Ball As a member of an English golf club drove, a wagtail was observed flying across the line of fire. The golf ball was seen to hit the bird at a distance of about forty paces from the striker. The wagtail fell at once to earth, and was found to be not only stone dead, but absolutely decapitated. Worn By German Bride. The German bride wears myrtle; the girl of the Black Forest takes the flower of the hawthorn when she can get it.

The largest and greatest gathering of race loving negro men and women from Kansas and Missouri, that has ever been witnessed in the west will assemble at Leavenworth, Kansas, Saturday and Sunday, August 21 and 22. No man or woman who is interested in the upbuilding of the race should fail to be present at this convention. One and all are invited. Owing to the indignities which are being constantly imposed upon us, the privileges denied us, the avenues that lead to everything that tends to a higher and nobler state being so tightly closed against us, we must awake from our lethargy if we would enjoy our rights as American citizens, and place ourselves in a position to demand recognition. Hence the calling of this convention, at which we hope to discuss measures by which our efforts, being united, we cannot fail to accomplish much good. Will you not give us your presence, your encouragement, and your active cooperation in this undertaking for the advancement of our people? In order that all may enjoy the sessions without being uncomfortably housed, the beautiful Korman's park, with its picturesque natural sceneries, and its wealth of cooling snake, has been selected as the meeting place of this convention. Street car transportation can be had from the station to the gates of the park. Thus, while we are discussing means for the good of the race, an enjoyable time may be had. Dr. Leonard Williams, in an article in the London Practitioner, declares that flannel underclothing is a fraud. "Dry flannel," he says, "is practically unabsorbent, whereas linen, cotton and silk are, in different degrees, very absorbent." He concludes that "woolen underclothing is, of all others, the best calculated" to induce a relaxed and unresponsive condition of the skin." S. T. JONES. MGR Condemns Flannels CARTHAGE NEWS. John J. Thomas, president of the Citizens' Sunday Forum, of Kansas City, Kan., is in the city, spending a few days with his cousin U. B. Cole. He will also visit relatives in Baxter Springs, Kan., and possibly a few points in Oklahoma and Indian Territories, returning to Kansas City on Monday next. Miss Nettie Mallory is visiting relatives and friends in the city. Mrs. Chas, Glispy of Carterville attended services at the M. E. church Sunday. Miss Ida Rose has returned home after several weeks sojourn in Iola, Kan. A unique little comedy company, composed of six members, with Prof. Wm. H. McClarin, manager, gave an entertaining performance Monday night partly for the benefit of Wesley M. E. chapel, Central Band played for the occasion. A four o'clock dinner was given Wednesday, July 27, by Mesdames A. Gibson, Granville Webb and Jack McCarty, at the home of the former, in honor of Miss Clara Tidwell, Mrs. Anna Harris and Mrs. C. J. Paulson of St. Louis. The guests were: Mesdames G. B. Abbott, J. L. Leonard, W. H. Hanford, G. F. Perry, Thad Vernon, Jas. Irwin, Edw. Emerson, G. W. Crawford, U. B. Cole, Jas. Scott, Misses Croft, Thornton, Aurora Perry, Lou Emma Abbott, Daisy and Tessie Cole, Corinne McCarty. Prof. Scott called by special request and played several of his entertaining productions for the party. Many citizens expect to attend celebration in NeoSho August 4th. The tent meetings on East Third street have closed after several weeks duration. Send all news through agent. The Carthage correspondent wishes his community to bear in mind that he is now at the service of all who feel an interest in the welfare of the race, and gladly solicits the patronage of all, and with a view to furthering the interests of the negro allow me to say also for the special assurance to our people who have been swindled of their hard earned money by imposters disguised as "race loving" negroes, that in the person of Lewis Woods, manager of the Rising Son, we find not a stranger who has blown in from either of the sea coasts for the purpose of faking his people, but we do find in him an up-right gentleman who is well and favorably known in Kansas City. Manager Woods carries as his shield, a wide reputation as a promoter and lover of his race. Corn Birds Will Not Bother. A well known farmer says he wets his seed corn with coal oil before planting it, and as a result the birds and insects do not bother it before it comes up. The oil does not injure the germ and keep it from sprouting. This has been proved by experience, as he has never had to replant.—Filmore (Mo.) Lever. Killing Rare Birds Commenting on the craze for killing rare birds wherever they may be found, a writer in London Truth says: "I should have thought that the fact that a bird is rare would be a reason for not killing it. I suppose the idea is that, however rare a bird is, something may still be done to make him rarer." Dusting Carved Furniture. There is no better way of dusting carved furniture than with a painter's brush. This will penetrate all the little crannies which could not be touched by an ordinary duster or brush. High-Power Incandescent Light. The manufacture of high-power incandescent lights is making progress at Coventry. Valuable Art Collection. Charles L. Pendleton of Providence, has given to the Rhode Island School of Design the art collection which he has gathered through a great many years of collecting. His collection comprises eighteenth century English and colonial furniture, pictures, antique Chinese porcelains, Chinese china of the eighteenth century, early eighteenth century English pottery, antique rugs and sixteenth century textiles. Origin of Spats. Where did spats come from? Highland soldiers were then first. Because of the bravery of highlanders at Lucknow and elsewhere in India during the Indian mutiny the people of England looked about for some way to show their admiration. Scrutiny of the highland dress disclosed that spats were the most suitable for adoption, so they were adopted and have been commonly worn ever since. Tuberculosis Experiments. The Royal Commission (British) appointed in August, 1901, to inquire into the relation between human and animal tuberculosis has found that human and bovine tuberculosis are practically identical. The commission reports that experiments proved that the disease produced in animals by tuberculous material, whether of human or bovine origin, was identical. A Garden Suggestion. A good way to plant pole beans is with sweet corn, says Country Life in America. Plant the beans in the same hill with the corn (after the corn is up); and the beans clamper all over the cornstalks after the ears are harvested. It saves the bother and expense of poles, and we think cornstalks look better than bean poles. Aluminum Horse Shoes In the Russian army aluminum horse shoes are said to have been tried with good results. A few horses in the Finland Dragoons were first chosen, and shod with one aluminum shoe and three iron shoes each. The experiments showed that the aluminum shoes preserved the foot better than the iron ones. Useful Thirst Quencher. To assuage thirst and cure feverishness, apple tea is a notable sick drink. It is made by slicing up raw apples into a jug, filling up the jug with boiling water, as in tea-making, then sweeten to taste. When cold, this apple tea will be found pleasantly tart and refreshing. Most Popular Christian Names William, Mary, John, Elizabeth, Thomas, George, Sarah, James, Charles, Henry, Alice, Ann, Joseph, Jane, Ellen, Emily, Annie, Frederick, Margaret, Emma, Robert, Arthur, Alfred, Edward. These, in the order given, are the most popular Christian names. Elight Through Frozen North The Lapland limited is perhaps the most curious of through express trains in that it carries fewer passengers and runs over a longer distance than any other train. This flyer leaves Stockholm, Sweden, once a week during the summer months, and runs straight through to Narvik, a Norwegian harbor, within the Arctic zone. The distance is 1.336 miles. Immensity of North Forests The northern belt of forests is perhaps greater in extent than all the other timber belts and reserves of Canada combined. It extends from the eastern coast of Labrador north of the fiftieth parallel in a northwesterly direction to Alaska, a distance of some 3,000 miles, with an average width of perhaps 500 miles. Brides Who Stay at Home According to old and established custom in Japan, the eldest child, whether male or female, must, under all circumstances, abide at and inherit the home. By this means a continuous succession is assured, and the estates cannot pass into the hands of strangers. NUMBER 18. Everybody should attend the Civil Rights convention at. Leavenworth, August 12 and 13th. For the reason, that it is the first of its kind to deal wholly with our rights as citizens. It will be absolutely free from the domination of any particular church or creed. No political chicanery or jobbery will be allowed or tolerated for an instant. Schemes on the part of an individual or a set of individuals, with cut and dried resolutions, to manipulate or define the policy of this convention, or to thwart the purpose for which it is held will be doomed to scant courtesy and no consideration. The convention is in the interest of the Colored People's Civil Rights, and not for any individual's personal aggrandizement. We want no personal strife or spleen, but we do want the best thoughts uttered without fear or favor, upon the conditions as they are, from every right thinking man and woman of the race. The convention will adjourn Saturday, August 13, in simple time for every one to get out of the city on the same evening on some one of the numerous trains. Those wishing to remain over Sunday will find splendid churches and able ministers to entertain them. August 14 there will be a grand outing at the park, where everybody can enjoy themselves and rest after the weeks' work. Splendid music, and a good time is promised all. S. T. JONES, Mgr. Dean Stanley's Impression. Dean Stanley of Westminster wore home from his first visit to America an expression of amazement which only time could efface. He was at once beset by interviewers, who asked the usual questions. "What was the thing which most impressed you in America?" was one of these. With out a moment's hesitation, Dean Stanley replied: "My own ignorance." Small Island Owned by America. Wake Island in the North Pacific, which the United States owns, is barely one square mile in area and has little economic value except for the guano deposits on its rocky surface and possibly as a stepping stone of cable connection between the United States and its Asiatic possessions. We All Ought to Be Like That. We All Ought to Be Like That. We knew a little girl once with a mighty tender conscience. When she found herself doing something wrong she would run to her mother and say, "I didn't." Then her mother would say, "Loulie, what have you been doing?" and would find out all about it. — Charlotte (N. C.) News Work for a God.

Joseoh. state convention: Woe, the Republican of Missouri, in state convention assembled, heartily indorse the administration of Prest- dent Roosevelt, who has made the name of an American citizen respected in the temotest portions of the earth, and who has “taken care that the laws be faithfully executed,” and thus demonstrated that there is but ono Jaw for both rochi and poor alike, ‘We cordially indorse the platform of the Republican party adopted in Chi- cago as a true record of a glorious past and the hope of a great and hon- orable future, and pledge our hearty support to the nominees of that con- yentlon, Theodore Roosevelt and Charles W.

We charge the Democratic party of this state with willful and deliberate deception in its party platform in de- claring that Republicans are responsi- ble for the $21,000,000 debt owed by the state of Missourl when the Repub- Ucan party went out of power. When the Republican party first came into power in this state they in- herited a debt of $36,000,000, every dollar of it created by the Democratic party.

Alls that come from coffee are cumulative, that {s, unless the coffee is taken away new troubles are con- tinually appearing and the old ones get worse. “To begin with,” says a Kansan, “P was a slave to coffee just as thou- sends of others to-day; thought I could not live without drinking strong coffee every morning for breakfast and I had sick headaches that kept me in bed several days every month, Could hardly keep my food on my stomach but would vomit as long as T could throw anything up and when I could get hot coffee to stay on my stomach I thought | was better. “Well, two years ago this spring I was that sick with rheumatism I could not use my right arm to do any- thing, had heart trouble, was nerv- ous. My nerves were all unstrung and my finger nails and tps were blue as if I had a chill all the time and my face and hands yellow as @ pumpkin. My doctor said it was heart disease and rheumatism and my noighbors said I had Bright's disease and was going to die. “Well, I did not know what on earth was the matter and every morn- ing would drag myself out of bed and go to breakfast, not to eat anything, Dut to force down some more coffee. Then in a little while 1 would be 0 nervous, my heart ‘would beat like everything. “Finally one morning I told my hus- band I believed coffee was the cause of this trouble and that I thought I would try Postum which I had seen advertised, He sald ‘All right’ so we got Postum and although I did not Uke it at first I got right down to business and made it according to directions, then it was fine and the whole family got to using it and I tell you it has worked wonders for ‘me, Thanks to Postum in place of the polson, coffee, I now enjoy good health, have not been in bed with sick headache for two years although I had tt for 80 years before I began Postum and my nerves are now strong and I have no trouble from my heart oF trom the rheumatism. “E consider Postum a necessary ar- ticle of food on my table.

BESO tole 0c de US BOOS SOUS tO Ue OOO OO oL ees _ BY GEORGE DYER ECLORIDGE Copyright, 191, by The Shortstory Pub. Co. (All rights reserved.) ‘A land so desolate that imagina- tion might not picture it; the surface alternating in gray and red, where the disintegrated line and sandstone lay sido by side without mingling; 8 soil too coarse for vegetation, hard with the baking of a burning sun, and worn into ridges, where the spring torrents from the melting snow of the mountains had eaten away the softer earth. In scattered clumps, gray sage—seeming in its lifeless dryness rather a part of the dead soll than a living growth from Jt. Here and there gleamed white in the sunshine masses of bleached bones of cattle—perhaps of men— who had wandered there and died. ‘The vast plain that stretched, a dead waste, to the mountains which hung like banks of mists on the edge of the horizon, was broken by hideous masses of ted sandstone, gigantic, water-worn into curious shapes by the floods of aged untold. Here, one siood isolated, in the form of a crouching animal ready to spring; there, they lay along the plain, as if hugo lizards had been suddenly turned to stone, Again, one towered Uke a pillar, carved with strange de- vices of a forgotten people, and yon- der, in masses and groups and rows, they seemed the ruins of some vast city, whose streets and squares must have echoed to busy feet hundreds —thousands of years ago. Not a tree in the vast plain, but over all a sky without a cloud, and a sun, not yet at the meridian, that burned with more than tropic heat. Suddenly, in the very center of this horror of desolation, appeared a man. He was crouching in the water-worn hollow of one of the biggest rocks, cowering in its blackest shadow and gazing off across the wide plain to the dim mist that told where the mountains lay. There was a hag- gard, hunted look in his face, and when in the deep stillness, unbroken by the hum of a locust or the buzz of a beetle, a bit of sandstone dropped from the great boulders, he shivered as with fear and drew deep- er into the shadow of the hollowed rock. After some minutes, he seemed to gather courage and suddenly dropped from his rock-shelter, flat upon the ground, still, however, within the shadows of the great boulder. Then ho raised his head and again gazed away toward the mountain. It was as if he felt that the mountain had eyes and was watching the great plain, on which anything that moved would be seen through the clear air and known by its power of life to bo strange to that dead world. After a time he was crawling like @ lizard, out of the shadows, across a stretch of hot sunlight, in among the scant sage bushes—crawling as it he would be a part of the gray and red earth, {f only he could burrow into {t and escape sight. Even when he reached the sage bushes he did not rise, but instead, crept on and on, until he came to one of those hideous water-worn gullies, into which he rolled without raising his body from the ground. There he lay for a time, as if ex- pecting that the dead plain would yA , 2 og EWN Wy < RE ‘aes \ AAS i, AN | AY ( AN WN a= 4a 5 Pre a ha 5 ea ye ae =f Ge = eee tial as " ZZ Cowering in its blackest shadow. give some token thet his caution had been in vain. Streams of perspita- thon rolled down his face and mixed with the white dust that .was rising constantly from the dead soil, work- {ug into the pores of his skin and parcking bis mouth and throat as he Jay and listened to his own heart beats and the awful silence. Evidently the gully had been se- lected as leading in the direction he wished to take, for finally he rose to @ crouching posture and began to move up its course, walking almost swiftly, though with still bended back, where it was deep and the sage bush hung over it, and crawling again where it grew shallow and lay open to the sun. In this way, after an hour of toll, he reached a mass of boulders, around which the gully bent. and here he raised himeel? in oA ; In = Sel Rees te a Se \ =. a Y the deep shadows on the side farthest from the mountains he had watched 80 intently before he began his four- ney and darted suddenly under the overhanging ledge, where the water had worn away the softer rock, and hid again in a hollow as before. Then followed hours of strange toil. At times the man lay flat on the hot plain and dragged himself along, taking minutes to move his own length, so that any «me watching would have needed a keen and steady eye to be certain that he moved at all, Then, in a friendly gully, he moved faster, with , the crouching posture of the morning, and even once, where the great boulders stood like the ruins of an ancient city, he almost ran through the black shad- ows of what seemed once to have been a street, only throwing himself down to crawl where an open place, like a cross street, let in the unwel- come sunlight. The perspiration had ceased to flow, for every drop of moisture was burned from his body. The grime stood on his face in dry patches; his eyes were red and bloodshot; his tongue hung from his mouth, and even the hot stones had ceased to burn his flesh, so hot had it become in his flerce str.ggle under that ug- tempered sun. In tho early afternoon, he stopped to rest in the shaded hollow of a boulder, and suddenly, as he looked to the ground, his face blanched un- der {ts coating of grime. A broken sage bush told where a foot had passed! This man had reached a point where signs of humanity were more terrible than the death that surrounded him on every hand! He looked again, and the pallor became more terrible, with the set terror of despair. He recognized the spot where he had rested in the morning and from which he had crawled to the first gully! It was his foot that had broken the sage bush, and all these hours of superhuman toil had availed only to bring him back to his starting point! Then he rose erect, no longer creeping, no longer skulking, but upright, as God meant man to walk, and took the direction in which lay the mist that was a mountain. Hours passed again! The sun had almost touched the top of the moun- tains, which now rose huge and dark before the man who dragged on and on, over the dead plain, with purple face and swollen hands and feet, filled with but one thought, conscious of but one wish, to reach the shelter of the mountains, and there to find water, and, drinking, perchance to die, Long shadows ran out to meet him; a cooler air from the mountain heights touched bis brow. In a gul ly, high up among the ragged pines, he caught a sheen of light, where the last sun rays struck a falling stream. Suddenly, from behind a great boul- der, a horseman barred the way, the Lay dead. bridte-rein hanging loose, a short rifle at his shoulder, aimed at the hunted man’s heart. The fugi:ive stopped, his weary head dropped, ang with his ewollon hand he made the sign of the Cross on brow and breast. Then came the sharp, quick ring of the rifle, and the man fell, with arms outspread, and with a single groan lay dead, himself making the sign of the Cross on the dead plain. The horseman adjusted his rifle across his saddle, gave one glance at the dead body, to make sure that his alm had been true, and rode away into the depths of the mountains, CORN A VERSATILE PRODUCT. Put. Probably few things that grow are capable of so many uses or are as completely used as corn, ‘The grain is used for food both for human beings and cattle, while the stalks are used as cattle feed. The pith of the corn- stalk {s used in the manufacture of smokeless powder, in the manufacture of high-grade varnish, and in the man- ufacture of paper. The woody por: tions are used in the manufacture of a cheap quality of paper. ‘As a food corn is supplied in many forms. The most familiar are as meal, hominy and grits. Practically all the starch that is used in the United States is made from corn. Immense quantities are also used in the manu- facture of glucose, which, among other things, enters largely into the manu- facture of beer, as a substitute for malt. A large quantity of corn is used an- nually in the manufacture of whisky, and nearly 15,000,000 bushels are used every year in the manufacture of co- logne spirits and alcohol. Even in the manufacture of these products nothing 1s lost. The glutinous and other rest dues in the manufacture of starch, glucose, whisky and alcohol are used as cattle feed. heen Ge Oe ‘Two negro women boarded a Penn sylvania avenue car at Seventh street.

One may extract good thoughts and holy aspirations from everything that presents itself amidst the variety of this mortal life, A devout soul stand: ing over @ brook on a very clear night and seeing the heavens and stars therein represented, exclaimed: "O my God, these very stars which T now he- hold shall be one day beneath my fect, when thou shalt have lodged me in thy celestial tabernacles; and as the stars of heaven are here represented, even so are the men of this earth rep: resented in the living fountain of dl- Vine charity." Another, seeing a river flowing swiftly along, eried ont: “My soul shall never he at rest tll she bo swallowed up In the sea of the divine ty, her original source.” Another con- templating a pleasant brook, upon the bank of which she was kneeling at her prayers, being rapt into an ecstasy, often repeated these words: “The grace of God flows thus gently and sweetly, Uke this little stream." An. other, locking ~n the trees In bloom, sighed end sat: “Ah, why am } alone Without blossoms in the garden of the church?” Another, seeing little chick: ens gathered together under the hen, sald: “Preserve tis, O Lord, continual: Iy under the shadow of thy wings.” Another looking upon the flower eatted heliotropiim, whieh turns to the sun, said: “When shall the time come, 0 my God, that my sont shall faithfully follow the attractions of thy good: ness?” And soeing the flowers called panstes, wide are beautiful but with: out fragrance, “AN! said he, “such are my conceptions; fir in appear: ance, but of no effects, producing nothing.” As the great work of devotion eons sists In the oxereise of spiritual rev ollection and ejaculatory prayers, the want of all other prayers may be sup: plied by them: but the loss af these ean scarcely be repaired by any other meank. Without them we cannot lead a good, active life, much less a cone templative one. Without them repose would be but idleness and labor vexae tion, Wherefore T conjure you to ems brace this; exercise your whole heart, “without ever desisting from its prac: tieeJames Mudge, DD. : Christ and Common Taske, Doubtless there are thousands of consecrated and zealous. Christians who, compelled to expend their chief life force upon plain tasks In humble spheres, are inclined to regret that their place or cailing is not more friendly to spiritual development, Here is, for Instance, a spiritually aspiring young man, who ts troubled because his daily work, though inno cent in itself, serves aS a constant drag upon his spiritual nature, instead of an encouragement to lis spiritual progress, How much easier it, would be to be a Christian, he has thought, if ho might be employed in writing Cditorials for a religions magazine, of teaehing in a college, or preaching the Gospel, instead of endlessly adding up columns of figures. Here again Isa. largespirited woman, who feels that her life mignt become. vastly mora helpful to the cause of her Master if she could escape the drudgery of household cares and become a lecturer or authoress—follow some line that Jooks especially friendly to moral ex« pansion and spiritual fruitfulness, Rut two things may be sald, First of all, these occupations that look most friendly to the growth of the soul havo their own peculiar temptations to spir= itual depression; they are not always in themselves as helpful to spiritual progress as they seem, And inthe neat place, the main question for @ servant of Christ is not what our work: is, but the spirit in which we do it, It is quite as easy for the worker to re deem his work as it is for the work to glorify the worker, Tecause there were saints “of Caesar's: household” there was a breath of the fragrance of heaven about the very throne of Nero. ‘Tentinaking in the hands of a St, Paul becomes an employment fit for a king, The garments created hy a Doreas look as thongh stitched with threads hot gold, Watebing a flock of sheep pecomies as sweet & Work ms the vow tion of him) whe hms the gift of tongues, when angels sing to the shep: herds from the clouds. Rev, George Francia Groone; k-th ‘es tam ee Ae tial: “The peace of God which passeth all understanding.” May it not be that there ts a fuller meaning tn this expression Guin we are aectistomed to see? Not only docs this heavenly peaeo In Itself pass hn man understanding, it TMs [bs possess for above the desire to be understood, A large part of our lives Is spent In an endeavor to make plain to others our motives, plans, purposes; to vindl cate our Judgment, opinions, conduct, There are few lessons harder to learn than the isolation of every life; {Cis as though the veil ef our human: ity #lint ont from each heart all save the great Hich Priest, who alone ean enter Into Ue inmost recesses—the hidden, sacced center of the soul When we have ceased to struggle for full and complete “understanding” from hnuman source, when we can leave our lives and our reputations im the hands of him, who “understandeth our thoughts afar off, content to wait his time to “bring forth thy righteous: ness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday"; then, and then only, shail we possess that “peace of God.” It is not the restless, surging sea, which frets and chafes the shore, that God has chosen as a symbol of the peace which he bestows, but a stream whose current, deep and strong, pure sues within Its channel a steady, on+ ward course, unmarred by thes that ebb and flow, Had we sought sympathy only from him, whose “brethren received him not,” and whose “dixeiples understood not his sayings,” then had our hearts been spared much of sorrow, and then “had thy peace been as a river.” Conversion, You have the child's character in these four things—bumility, faith, charity and cheerfulness, ‘That ts what you have got to be converted to. “Except ye be converted and become as little children.” You hear mutch in these days of conversion, but people always seem to think they have got to be made wretched by eonversion—to he converted to long faces. No, friends, you have got to be converted to short ones; you have to repent into childhood, to repent Into delight and childlikeneas.—Jobn Ruskin. ) 7 THE RISING SON.

When in school, the youth should be in the preparatory department, xet- ting ready for the difficulties of life. But when he comes out and comes with nothing but a diploma showing that he has rvbed up against Greek and Latin—no trade—no profession— then, I claim, you have sent out @ worthless man, You have educated him above the environments by which he must be surrounded. He wants to be a bookkeeper or something for which there is no demand. He goes into some white man’s of- fice seeking a job, and there telis of the grades he has made in school and all else he has accomplished, ‘The white man, after questioning him thoroughly, usually thanks him for coming around and telling him about the various branches in which he is so learned. Finally, he winds up and tells the young Negro, “I hope there will be an opening for you in such and such a place, but he doesn't say, “Yes, I need just such a man as | you for clerk or bookkeeper, and you may work your way up right In this store,” + Now, then, we will turn back and determine what progress {s. Prog: ress means a little nure than Keeping pace with the times in dress and be- ing, as the Negro terms it, fashion plates, We should imitate other things than dress and we should excel in many of the common things. If we are going to imitate the white man in dress, why not imitate him in his every-day life—in those things that make dress necessary? We would like to see the negré keep pace with the times by securing prop- erty, by conducting business of all kinds, by uniting his forces and start- ing stores on a small scale, then suck- ing together until these stores grow into large business houses. This is what the white man did. When we view this wonderful prog- ress in a certain light, it is neither so | great nor so rapid. Out of th 10 mil- | Hon Negroes in the United States, perhaps only from 500 to 1,000 carry on business enterprises and are suc- cessful. This does not show that enough Negroes are striving to be ree: '| opnized in the business world. | Too many negroes have said, “Let my wife and children do as I had to ‘| do." Not so. You should have pre- pared the way for them. It is the duty "| of every father to lay the corner stone | of his family's prosperity. It will be ‘| much easier for your boy or girl to se: ‘lcure another acre of ground if, you '! nave taught him or her the value of an '| acre, how to get one, and then have left ‘| him one. Let us look back a few years, when '/ ground in the neighborhood of Kansas "| City could have been bought for $50 ‘/ an acre, Such property now is prac: ') tically out of the Negro's reach.

For the last few weeks we have been talking about the slaughter by fire of hundreds of women and children in New York. Cause—corruption and indifference in the management and oversight of steamboats. The theaters were some- ‘what improved, temporarily at least. The steamboats may also be tempor- ‘arily ‘mproved. We do not know. It is doubtful, to say the least. For back of it all lies a vast indifference. We Americans, take the chances. We accept grade crossings, reckless auto- mobiles, firetrap hotels, buildings which fall down, steamers and thea- ters and railway trains exposed to fire, New York Central tunnels, any: thing, everything, in the way of need- less danger, just as we accept polit: {eal corruption in general, because we simply do not care.

Tho business men of Argentina, Mo., have come to the conclusion that there {s only one way to have good roads. That ie by building them. ‘They have decided, therefore, to give up a day to the business of repairing the road between their town and Kan- sas City. All the stores, banks, hotels, newspaper offices and other business houses of Argentina are to he closed for an entire day in order that every man in the place may get out with a pick or a shovel and work on the road, By doing this the citizens of Argentina think they can be reason- ably sure that there will be something to show when they get through for the sacrifice of their time and the ex- ercise of their muscles, There will be no chance for unscrupulous con- tractors or public officials to defeat the will of the inhabitants or to steal or misappropriate their money. ‘The business men of Argentina are wise in recognizing the importance of Food roads, and they are to be com: mended for the earnestness with which they are endeavoring to iv crease the mileage of improved high- ways in this country.—Chicago Ree ord-Herald. CONTENT AND HASTE IN WORK. President Charles W. Eliot says in the July World's Work that the prin cipal sources of satisfaction and con tent in daily work are the active ex. erciwe of one’s powers; achievement or the getting well done something worth doing; harmonious co-operative effort, putting mind into work or using Judgment and skill, successfully en. countering risk, making adventures and mastering novelty and variety. It is, unquestionably, easy to have all satisfaction in daily work de- stroyed by the Imposition of condi tions which make satisfaction impos sible. If labor is pressed beyond the limits of strength and health, content in it 1s impossible. Any overwork de- stroys the physical basis of satisfac tion in toll. If the hours of labor are exaggerated, 0 that reasonable time for meals, family life, recreation ani sleep 1s not to be had ,the due satis faction In toil will not be realized. The conditions of modern urban life tend to develop in the American population an unreasonable haste and stress in doth work and play. This haste and stress are quite as highly developed fn the higher employments as in the lower; and, relatively to numbers, overwork now prevails in the higher employments more than in the lower, probably because there is more and Keener pleasure in them, and they are, therefore, more liable to be pur: sued with an inordinate real. ENGLISH IN JAPAN. Until forty years ago an English book was practically unknown in Japan, the only foreign literature studied was the Chinese, and the first language to be taught in the schools was the Dutch, Now, while English 1s the most com mon among the people, and is studies by all high school pupils, German and French are favored generally by scholars and physicians. ‘here is 4 foreign language school in Tokyo, where almost all languages are taught, and, curiously enough, Russian is the favorite. The study of English literature in Japan is represented by Prof. Yuzo ‘Tsu Chouchi, who has translated into Japanese some of Shakespeare's plays —"Othelio," “Macbeth,” and “The Merchant of Venice.” The most widely known English writer in Japan is Carlyle. All stu: dents of English literature in Japan read his works. Next to Carlyle comes Macaulay, and the new Hanyaku, of translation style, was practically cre: ated by borrowing his language by the Minyushamen a literary band in Tokyo. Emerson is greatly admired, and his writings have influenced many notable Japanese journalists to-day, Mill and Herbert Spencer have also influenced the thought of modern Japan. ‘Tennyson, Longfellow, Wordsworth, Byron and Milton are the most popu lar poets, and in fiction Irving, Thack- eray, and Dickens are the best known, Bellamy'’s “Looking Backward” has been recently translated into Japan- €20.~tihienen Journal. DISREGARD OF HUMAN LIFE. ‘The widespread condition of danger to human life in the appliances of our eager and hurrying civilization ean only be due to a certain carelessness, a lack of earnest attention to the safety of the community, Partly, no doubt, it is due to too much eagerness to save expense and make the greater profit, even at the risk of occasional unnecessary losses, Corporations, capitalists, eontractors and builders need to be held to stricter require. ments and lawmakers and officials need to be held to a higher responsi: bility; but it all depends in the last analysis upon the state of the publie mind and the spirit of thé people, There is where a higher regard for lite and care for the general seenrity needs to be cultivated—New York Journal of Commerce. JAPANESE HUMANITY. Without a single white man to ad. vise or control, with few war cor respondents to comment or criticise, the Japanese are keeping up in this campaign as high a standard of hu manity and kMdness to their foes as any clvilized power in the world Prisoners who have escaped “speak in enthusiastic terms of the manner in which the Japanese treat the Rus sian wounded. ‘The Japanese arms doctors, it seems, are splendid, and they personally saw to the comfort of all the Russian wounded.” Civi lized man is an |earnate paradox Having called to his assistance all the highest talents in one depart ment of science to provide the most awful and barbarous instruments for destroying his fellow-man, he sum mons with the samo breath the mas ters of another selence to undo as far as possible the inevitable conse quences of the use of shot and shell torpedoes and submarines and all the other deadly machines of — modert warfare, Looked at from one aspect war {s the negation of all humanity; regarded from another, it evokes hu manity’s loftiest. products.—Londor Telegraph, A POPE’S DEMOCRACY. The Papacy loves precedents, an Pius X. has been vastly gratified by ¢ statement put Into his hands by one of his Hbrarians that Pope Sixtus V, of old time, had a sister who, vers finely dressed, was brought to he brother by the cardinals. Thereupor the pontiff affected not to know her She was therefore hurried out of hi presence, "The cardinals,” says the record, “led her out of the palace and had her dressed in her usual clothes— those of a washwoman.” Then she returned and the pope, “advances from his throne, embraced her anc called her his dear sister." Pius X has now a quotation ready for those who criticise the present dress of hi sisters.—London Chronicle. BLUNDER OF THE RICH MAN, It is a bad blunder for the rich men to try to shirk their civic duties, I creates prejudice against them, They may not care for that, but it is a mat ter of serious care to them whether or not the law is upheld, Without law their vast property Interests would be worth nothing. The more the people respect the law the better it will be for the property owners, and if for no higher and nobler reason It 1s clearly in the material interest of the rich that law an dorder shall pre vail and it 1s therefore in thelr inter est to discharge thelr clvic duties with faithfulness and with willingness and to respond cheerfully to the de manda of the state authorities. —Rieb mow ,Va.)
