Savannah Tribune

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE The Anniversary Day of Our Freedom Duly Celebrated. Disposing Parade and Telling Address by Rev. D. W. Cannon. Last Tuesday was Emancipation Day, and it was generally observed at alone in Savannah, but elsewhere here patriotism abounds. The clay here, while cloudy in the early morning, but before the parade started the sky became clear and the clay proved an ideal one. "Headed by Chief Marshal J. H. Law, with his assistant, the parade began on time and marched through some of the principal streets to St. Phillip's Monumental Church, where the literary exercises took place. The silence was soon filled with the paradisers, ladders and others. In a graceful manner Chief Marshal Lowe turned over his charge to the master of ceremonies, Rev. H. L. Heywood, who was introduced by Rev. R. V. Branch. "Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow" was sung by the congregation and an appropriate prayer offered by Rev. Wm. Gray. "America" was sung with much fervor, after which Prof. L. B. Thompson read the Emancipation Proclamation. The chair rendered a suitable selection and the speaker of the occasion, Rev. D. W. Cannon, pastor of Beth Eden, Baptist Church, was introduced and delivered the address inserted below. Music was then rendered by the choir of Union Baptist Church, and during the collection a duet was sung by Misses M. Dozler and F. Spaulding. After other remarks, etc., benediction was pronounced by Rev. J. A. Brockett, thus ending one of the most successful celebrations of that day. The committee having the celebration in charge was composed of Revs. J. A. Lindsay, R. V. Branch, H. L. Heywood, M. C. Maxwell, Messrs. J. J. Bolen,'E. B. Roberts, Jr., J. H. Low, R. Pierce, B. J. Edwards, S. M. Mallord and E. W. Howell. To them much credit is due. Following is the address of Rev. Cannon: "A plea For the Freedom of the Free." Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: I should be strangely constituted could I rise unmoved to address this assembly of the race's noblest sons and fairest daughters, who have gathered here today to rededicate and reconstrate themselves to the cause of freedom and patriotism. Could all who are now engaged in this and similar services be gathered together in one body it should require the inspired mathematics of Patmos' lovely exile, to number them. Could all their songs and shouts be gathered in one volume, they would put to silencé old ocean's perpetuated grumble and if all this apparent patriotism and devotion could be exemplified in their lives and characters, of ours—this Dixie of bravage song, so far as we are concerned could indeed, and in truth be the uplonian spot of all the earth. Why all this music? Why this throng? What mean those shouts? They remind one of the triumphant return of an army. Is it that? Yes; it is the shouts of an army, but not of one returning from a victorious campaign through the territory of the enemy, but rather of one that has just begun its march—a word from the lowest and darkest dungeon of ignorance and vice to a mountain top of civilization and culture, of which the Lord hath said: I will give it thee. Throughout the history of the world, to shout seems to have been the natural method by which man gave event to his feelings whenever an event turned favorably in his direction. So, during the sixties, there that might struggle, known as will war, was being waged, we would food with eager eyes and would war the ```markdown ``` just listened, our fathers, on hearing it and knowing its significance,-sent up a shout, which was taken up by their stins and now, for above 40 years it has been heard at intervals to bespeak the Negro's love of freedom and devotion to freedom's cause "That document gave nominal freedom to about 4,000,000 men, women and children, who, with their sons and daughters, have been struggling for all these years, not only to maintain their nominal freedom, but for the possession of absolute freedom as well. What illustrates the truth that I wish to press home to your hearts today is a picture which I remember to have seen in another section of this country. The picture is that of a hugely proportioned Negro man with chains of iron about his giant wrists. At one time those chains were so adjusted as to bind—both wrists together; but by repeated effort and Herculean strength this dusky giant has broken the chain asunder. His limbs no longer, cling one to the other, but at will he may stretch forth or ever fold his mighty arms. But you ask: 'Whither went the chain? Did he not, in his exultation over his partial freedom, break and cast the remnants aside?' No, he did not. They still cling with a never-relaxing hold about his brawny wrists, and whither he goes or whatever he attempts to do, they are there to declare his "mene, mene, tekel, upharsin." "Our freedom in this country is merely the chain broken—not at all the chain cast off. By certain amendments to the Federal Constitution, we have been declared free and independent citizens of this great commonwealth, but by subsequent legislative enactments on the part of the states and passive indifference on the part of the national government, as well as by our own blindness to many and great opportunities within our reach, though we are free, yet real freedom has been denied us, and hence my Plea for the Freedom of the Free. "Freedom is the inalienable right of every rational-minded, law-abiding individual. The customs and constitutions of all really civilized countries guarantee it and the souls of all men long for it. Yes, and more, they aspire to it. Whenever or wherever thinking people have been kept in involuntary bondage, like caged eagles, their souls have dashed and surged, incessantly, in a more or less successful attempt to rise from forced conditions to that atmosphere of absolute freedom which God hath provided for all. "No person of self-respect has ever been content with anything less than absolute freedom. History, both sacred and protale, bears out the statement. From Israel's silentless bondage in Egypt to that of our fathers in America, the throne of heaven has heard prayer after prayer, wring from the hearts of men and women, that God, the Judge that 'will do right, might open to their children, if not to them, the door of universal freedom. "Freedom, gives impetus to the aspirations of man. It enlarges his soul and gives his best talents territory in which to develop. What if Phyllis Wheatly, Frederick Douglas and Andrew Marshall had been free and blessed with opportunities to develop those towering intellects and expansive imaginations with which the God of all the races endowed them? What if men, hampered like Henry M. Turner and Frank Quarles, could reach the heights of sublimity and power to which they attained if their youth had been blessed with the benefits of freedom and opportunity? Here and there you will find one who grew up in slavery over leaping the barriers about him and mingling with the mighty, but this is the exception rather than the rule. To do this, a man had to be all but inspired. If under such circumstances, the man able to reach the main top, blessed with freedom and opportunity, he would have an opportunity to the star. while, in many instances, it has helped him wonderfully, yet in many more it has sapped every ennobling thing out of him except his innate ability and trust in Almighty God. While it gave him a language and impressed him with ideas of God, it, at the same time, taught him that he was less than a man and had no rights that others were bound to respect. It gave him no very high conception of morality, made conversion simply the changing from a bad to a good Negro and religion: the embodiment of a nefarious theology, which taught that one brother should be the slave of another for no offense whatever. "Some orators have spoken loud and long on what slavery did for the Negro. They revelled much in miss-tresses' kitchen and around master's fireside. They have thundered forth volumes on the good things accruing to us from the period of servitude or apprenticeship, as they are wont to call it. That's all well and good. Some good and helpful things, we all admit, came to the Negro lucidently as he lived in slavery, but that is not what has helped him on to even his present meager attainments. What has really helped the Negro and given him such impetus to go onward and upward is not his recent slavery, is not his 250 years of servitude and irresponsibility, but rather it is his freedom and 40 years of real sense of responsibility. That has been and still is the main-spring of all his actions and endeavors; and as his freedom is more and more given to him, he will more and more prepare himself along all lines to meet the new conditions and do responsibilities that might daily be developing about him. But if he knows his freedom to be denied, his privileges curtailed and his rights abridged, of course, there is nothing but the 'divinity that slurs within him' to inspire him to the moral, religious, intellectual or material betterment of his deplorable condition. In the constitution of human nature, the desire to better one's condition is the main-spring of all effort, but a consciousness of rights denied and privileges cuffed snaps that desire short off in the bud. Horace Mann intimated that if you enslave a man or circumscribe his attentions, you destroy his ambition, his enterprise and his capacity. And Homer says: "Jove fixed it certain that whatever day Man's made a slave takes half his worth away. "But American Negroes are no longer slaves, many will say, and hence not half their real worth is taken away. Of course we are not slaves, so far as the spirit of the constitution is concerned, but there is a bondage not sanctioned, though suffered by law; there is an oppression of soul more burdensome and humiliating than chats about the limbs; there is a slavery more galling than that previous to the sixties, and that bondage, that oppression and that slavery, the race of which I am a representative and with which you are identified is suffering almost unmurmuringly day after day. To have their limbs shackled is bad enough, but to have the aspirations of a people all but paralyzed is worse. To have the body bound so that it cannot move at-will is common, but to deprive the soul of its flight to fields of high thought and hopeful revelry is far worse than physical bondage can possibly be. "The bondage which our fathers experienced in this country was certainly not so painful to them as is ours to us, for with them it was what the laws and customs of the land imposed. They understood that they were slaves and had to suffer all the privations of the slave and hence it was simply a matter of come as you may with them; but with us, it is different. We were born free and taught to believe that we were to receive all the blessings and benefits of freedom as soon as we were prepared to enjoy and maintain them. So we went to school and educated ourselves, got good characters and good religion, but on our return home we were met by the hydra-headed monster of race prejudice, which told us that though we were constitutionally free and equal to any other race, yet we would have to accept a servant's place and acknowledge this, the white men's country. That sentiment is discouraging to our youthful constitutions and death-dealing to our infant ambitions. It frightens sleep from our eyes and slumber from our eyelids. Oh the paralyzing thought! that we are free members of avery intelligence, with fairly good homes and comfortable surroundings, but simply because we are black, we are robbed of our good rights and more, even our relation with human you to plod on amidst it all, continually trusting God, for results. We alone can't make things right. We can do little toward placing justice upon the throne of public sentiment. Anger, threats, non-anything else of an 'incredible' nature will do the work nor bring the best results. We must just work quietly along, every now and then putting in a pleasant humble plea for the freedom of the free. "A great deal is being said nowadays about the worthlessness and shittlessness of the Educated young Negroes of our day and generation. Now, I want to say that if there is any undue amount of this among them, it is because of their discouraging surroundings: Education has the same effect upon the Negro that it has upon any other people. It makes him ambitious, it makes him proud, it gives him an insight to the higher walks of life and sets him ablaze with hopes of entering, but when he is convinced that, they are closed against his entrance, like the disjointed of all races, he sits supinely by to weep at his fate. Let any other race be confronted at every stage of its advancement with a declaration of its inferiority, or let any part of it be as Ben Tillman says the Negroes are in South Carolina—under shotgun persuasion to take the lowest place—and you will find them also logothe to attempt any great task or engage in any very hopeful enterprise. If you want to see the young Negro at his best, if you want to see him do just as other people do, give him other people's chance, open to him the naval and military schools at West Point and Annapolis, give to him the ballot on the same terms that you give it to the white man, and then protect him in the discharge of any duty, political or otherwise, which, because of his fitness, may be placed upon him, and then if he still proves worthless and shittless, if he is still incapable of maintaining his given freedom, I and all others interested in him will declare our fight over. He may then be discriminated against, disfranchised, denied a place in the human family or anything else may be done to him, we will not complain. But the Negro's greatest trouble is, he has never had a chance. "We don't ask for social equality, we don't ask to enter anybody's parlor, nor do we seek special favors of anybody. We simply ask for an opportunity as American citizens to do the best there is in us along whatever line our aspirations may lead. "(We are accused of dealing social equality. No so!) "Our contention is over a civic and economic question not a social one. Liberty is what we want and that's not at all a social question. Civil equality is what we are after and that's far different from social equality. In all our speeches and sermons on the subject, not a social thought ever enters, they are simply pleas for that freedom of body, mind and soul guaranteed us by the Constitution, that indeed we may be "As free as nature,first made man, "Ere the base laws of servitude began. 1. Who Are the' Free? "Many, no doubt, have asked who are the free for whose freedom, you present your plea? Certainly they are the young men and women of that race so recently enganlated—the Negro race. I make no plea for the middle aged men and women of the race, for they were slaves a part of their lives and to that extent have the love and sympathy of their more fortunate brethren. I don't make it certainly not, forop the old men and women of the race, for their latest sun-diskinking past, their race. Is bestiality not do, but I make it for that shittless class of our young people who are void of all desire to make useful meaed and women of themselves, but I do make it in the name of God and His righteousness, for that boy and girl with represent the best thought and blood of the race—for that fortunate flower, whom you have planked from your home, placed in the university, the agricultural college, the trades and professional schools and fitted to stand upon the same platform that the most favored of earth stand upon. Those are the ones who feel the pressure of unjust legislative enactments and whose hearts bleed daily because of duly earned rights and privileges that are denied them. "I don't present a plea for that, educated Negro, who understands himself and his race and longs for what is called social equality, for he is not here for any great while, but I do pray for that Negro who feels that he is a man, and a gentleman and who really also that some of the purer and nobler woman that over Negro politician, who would sell his race and himself for a financial consideration or for a government position, but I do make it for that, clean-cut, straight-forward, mainly politician, who, like Judson W. Lyons, would tell the president, under whom he holds a paying position, that he would not support him. If a certain other gentleman should stand for the presidential nomination. That's the class of Negroes to enter politics. All others should steer clear, for they reflect dishonor and shame upon their race. Do I advise Negroes to stay out of politics? Yes and no. The worthless, uneducated class that has often, herefore, infected southern politics, I advise to stay out. But any clean-hearted clear-headed Negro, who has the good of his race and country at heart, I do advise to go into politics and stay there, too, until he has won out or is run out. Any educated Negro, armed with patriotism and purity, has a perfect right to aspire for political honors, nor should he be discouraged by his friends or intimidated by his foes. II. To Whom Do I Make This Plea? "Certainly I do not make it to the aspiring young men and chaste young women of the race, who are daily preparing themselves for life and good citizenship, for so far from being the barrier that tend to keep back our long-sought and eagerly-expected freedom, they are the slining lights along the highway of our national and social existence and the incarnate evidence of the fact that the race is worthy of this freedom. No, no! I do not, at all, make it to that class, but I do make it to our careless young men and women, who, by their indiscretion, are heaping mountains of scorn and calumny upon the heads of those who would do right. "Do you know that every intelligent, law-abiding black man, woman and child must suffer, as well as have their names held in derision, for every crime committed by the criminal class among us? Have you thought of that? It's hard, but nevertheless true. It is so in Atlanta, Ga., it is so in New Orleans, La., it is so at Evansville, Ind., as sad occurrences of the last few years will prove. I am persuaded that north and south, east and west—whorerose—Negroes are found, that law holds good. Hence my plea to the thoughtless of the race to cease their sinning and lead quiet lives; to be educated and law-abiding, to imbibe and cultivate habits of industry and frugality. "Then, I present this plea to the Christian white people of America—those who know us and whom we love and serve as no other people, in this same, relation, would think of doing. To that race who drew the white milk from the black breasts of your mother and uncle, to that race who, in a great measure, in their hands, I present my plea, saying, 'In the name of God, in the mine of the blood of our fathers and the tears of our mothers, give, oh give, us our freedom. We do not ask to sit in your parlors, we do not ask to eat at your tables, but we do ask for, a man's chance in the great race of life, that we may develop, right here among you, a people worthy of their ancient ancestry. Isn't that all we ask? Do we want, any more? Can we be content with jealousy? That's what I call freedom, and that I shall contend for as long as the death of Attacks, as long as the loyalty of Negro troops at Port Hudson and on Sur Juan Hill, lurks in the halls of my memory. Could we be men so base is to put up with jealousy or so unreasonable as to ask for more? God forbid! "But, you may ask: 'Why present that plead to white America?' It would be better not to agitate that question. But I must say, I am one of those who believe in agitation. Agitation is what makes things come to pass. It has been the soil in which every great movement and reformation found the elements of life and growth. Where was there ever greater agitation, than that carried on in the 16th century by Martin Luther and Huldreich Zwingle? But what of their agitation? A great upheaval in the Roman church, the dawn of the polemical age, of Christian theology and ultimately the great reformation. "Whatever exhibited more the spirit of agitation than the speeches of Sunnner, Beecher, Phillies and Douglas, or that mysterious warrior, Uncle Tom's Cabin," by Harriet Beecher Stowe? But what of the outcome of this agitation? Your freedom, such as it is, and mine. These beautiful and commodious churches, these schools, publishing houses and oanks, and all the culture and refinement possessed by our race in this country. And if this freedom for which I now plead, over comes, if ever ever, the blessing, and perhaps it will be Beecher's "Allow me to repeat the My sake emphasis, that it make this plea. Christian American. I want decided of the opinion that, if we are new accorded our right, and privileges, free American citizen, it will be because of the influence of Jesus Christ, upon American society and politics. Every act of law makes him titlists more rampant, and punishment more severe. Law and legislation have had their way, they must now give way, and let the gospel and Christianity prove their efficacy. And to the white people of God—the Christian white people who hear and believe this gospel, I present my be seething petition. Ill. Are Worthy of Freedom Such? As this Petition Asks? That question suggests to me, had to have and enjoy freedom, there must be a certain basic element upon which the superstructure of freedom is to stand. Unstrained, shifttless and no-account, be they white or black, are unworthy of and should not possess this freedom. The foundation upon which real and lasting freedom must rest is education, thrift, economy, patriotism and religion, and the race or individual possessing the qualities, has a perfect right to look the world in the face and say: Give me liberty—absolute and complete—or give me death. Now, the question: Does the Negro possess these five prerequisites to real and lasting freedom? I answer, year after thousand times yes. If education is a pre-requisite, he has that; if so, he cultured is a condition, he is ready for the test, for one of the marvels of the century is the Negro's advancement along educational and literary lines. The report of the United States commissioner of education will show that during the last 20 years, the Negro has decreased his litteracy by 50 per cent. His thirst for knowledge is satiated only by the most rigid and thorough courses of study possible in Southern colleges and Northern universities. It was only a few years ago that one of the great questions in the southern mind was: Can the Negro be educated? Is he mentally able to grapple with the many great and intricate problems that are so violently upon the white man's mind? Can his head hold Latin, Greek, the sciences and higher mathematics, as does the white man's head? Some men of the Ben Tillman and Allen Candler stamp said: No, he can never be educated to the white man's standard, while others, like former President Dabney of the University of Tennessee and Bishop Haygood, of loving memory, said: He can, all he needs, is a chance. The falsity of the former and the truthfulness of the latter have been clearly demonstrated to each of these gentlemen by the learning and eloquence of Dubois, Bowen and Holmes, the classics of Scarborough, Gilbert, Hope and Rogman, the mathematics of Kelly, Miller, Frank Cobb and Fortson and by the medical skill of Williams, Shad, Stewart and of our own local practitioners hero today. These men, to say nothing of the hundreds more like them, are proof that intellectually the Negro is ready for his freedom. If thrift and economy are necessary to make of him a man worthy of freedom, he is ready; for he certainly has both. Think of a people emancipated, only 40 years ago without a dollar, a foot of land or even a name! Beginning, as they did, amidst obstacles and discouragements, they today, by their industry, economy and thrift, are the proud owners of $19,000,000 worth of school property, $40,000,000 worth of church property, $420,000,000 worth of farm land, $220,000,000 worth of city property and personal property valued at $230,000,000. This they have saved up, and, too, from all but starvation wages. SOL. C.

Secret service agents at San Francisco have had their attention called to an inflammatory paper published in Berkeley, Cal., by Japanese, entitled, "The Revolution," in which the as sassination of the mikado, President Roosevelt and others in authority is advocated in plain English language. Marked copies of the paper were sent through the mail to the board of education in Frisco. The paper is printed in both Japanese and English. The articles in the latter language are the ones that advocate assassination. The following language is used in relation to the attitude of President Roosevelt on the Japanese school question: "We believe that such a thing as the trifling legislation which the capitalist class may from time to time fling to the workers will prove of no avail; that it is about as effective as the tiny stream from a baby's water gun thrown into a raging fire. "Our policy is toward the overthrow of the mikado, king and president, as representing the capitalist class, as seen as possible, and we do not hesitate as to the means." CHINKS REGISTER KICK.

HARD TIMES. ```markdown ``` Paul Korner was a landscape painter; he was, also, a daily visitor at the Einhorn, the respectable little inn of Gruningen. Here he drank his bottle of Ingelheimer every evening except Saturday; on that night, after the heat and burden of the week, he felt justified in substituting champagne for Ingelheimer. This had been his invariable habit from the time, of his settling in the village, two years before. He had never once deviated from this rule, for, unlike many of his brotherhood, he led a well-regulated life. One Saturday night, finding himself at the inn rather earlier than usual, he sought to pass away the time until his companions should arrive at the reading table. The Eastern question was agitating the public mind just then, and people were speculating much over it. Paul began listlessly turning the leaves of a bound volume of illustrated papers, looking indifferently at the wood cuts. Between the pages lay a fragment of a political newspaper. His eyes fell on a letter from a Vienna correspondent, who, in a diplomatic and ocular fashion, discoursed upon the "situation," winding up with the remarkable declaration: "We are standing upon a volcano, and no one knows what a day may bring forth!" Paul, who had never been especially interested in politics, closed the volume with a startling clap. The words, "We are standing on a volcano," seemed to affect his mind very materially. "The deuce!" he muttered to himself. "War is imminent, and war is the declared enemy of all the muses! What will become of me in the event which, according to this correspondent, is close upon us? Horrors! Who will buy pictures when bomb-shells are bursting? Alas! alas! I must begin at once to adapt myself to circumstances, and to live-sparingly and economically." Now see what followed. That evening he ordered, instead of his customary champagne, a modest quantum of Ingelheimer, with the words: "In these hard times we cannot indulge in luxuries." This remark made a profound impression on Herr Grundbuber, the landlord, and the next morning, when his wife asked for the money to pay for the Sunday loaf of cake, he waved her back, saying: "In these hard times there's no money to waste on cakes!" The baker's boy, who, according to GRUNingen custom, delivered his sweet wares at their patrons' houses, stared blankly, and did not fall to repeat to his master, word for word, Herr Grundhuber's remark concerning the hard times. The baker, who thought himself quite a politician, looked up and down and around in terrible perplexity. "H'm! Herr Grundhuber, the well-to-do host of the Elnhorn, denies himself his usual Sunday treat! There must be something in it! Things must be bad! His self-denial is proof positive that the times are hard indeed!" An hour later when he entered his wife's room, the baker found her examining with evident delight a quantity of dress material spread out before her. "Which piece had I better select for Mathilde?" she asked, smiling. "Alack!" the baker exclaimed, "we have had many expenses lately, and now in these hard times we must buy only what is absolutely necessary. What do you think? Grunduber has taken no cake for to-day, and under such circumstances our children must take what they can get, and wait for fine clothes till the times mend." His wife's wits quite deserted her. "Heaven preserve us!" she cried. "What will become of us? There'll be war! there'll be war! I always said there'd be war, and who knows how soon we shall all be Turks? Oh, dear! oh, dear! Lottie, carry all this stuff back as quick as you can, and tell Herr Kleemuller that we can't afford to buy with a war hanging over us, and, while the times are, so hard." One servant hurried away on her way. It semutier, one of the mone- sage, sent along the merchants of the town, indented to her message in humay "This is a fine prospect," said he to himself. "If the baker thinks even now of economy the situation must indeed be bad. Well, we must be ready for anything; the crisis may be close at hand. First and foremost, we must indulge in no needless expenditure." Theracupon, hastening to his desk, he wrote and dispatched the following letter: "Herr Paul Korner: "Dear Sir—I am obliged to give you a different answer from what I had intended, in regard to 'your Landscape by Moonlight,' which I had hoped to buy so soon as it should be finished. To my great regret, owing to the depression of business, it is necessary for me to 'deny myself the gratification of possessing this masterpiece. Let me express the wish and the hope that the times will soon be better, when I shall feel justified in purchasing one of your truly admirable works of art. I remain, dear sir, very truly yours. "ALOIS KLEEMULLER." This letter was like a thunderclap to our artist. He had counted upon Herr Kleemuller as a sure patron; prosperity would certainly follow the sale of his "Landscape by Moonlight," which was now nearly completed, but, alas, that dream had fled! At the Einhorn in the evening, he ordered only half a bottle of Ingelheimer, and the groan accompanying his order created a deep impression, not only on the landlord, but on the other guests. The score that night was scarcely half as large as usual. "The times are 'degenerating,' moaned Herr Grundhuber, as he examined his cash box next morning. A new reduction of his family expenses was the result of this knowledge. Before a week had gone by, the village of Grunlingen, but now so prosperous, had assumed an air of misery, such as might be accounted for only by the horrors of a civil war. The cry, "hard times," rang out from mansion and hovel. Business was about at a standstill, credit at an end. A fortnight later, Paul sat again in the Elnhorn, which he now visited only twice a week. Again he drew toward him the illustrated volume which had been the means of disclosing to him so clearly the "situation." The paper with the Vienna correspondence lay there still. He cast a forlorn glance on the fatal sheet before him. Then he raised in suddenly, and what dismay filled his soul as he read for the first time the date of this correspondence—it was four years old! "This is foolisher than foolish!" he cried. "Have I allowed myself to be nearly frightened to death by this nonsense of four years ago?" Rising and seizing the latest newspaper just brought in, he read in the telegraphic dispatches that the conflict so long feared had at last broken out. His hands fell at his side. "We are then in truth ruined, annihilated!" he groaned. "All hope is gone. At matters little what use I make of the two thalers in my pocket, all I have left. Heaven-grant the rest of my misery may depart with my money!" Thereupon, in this reckless mood, he ordered two bottles of champagne. The landlord smiled. "The painter is a mighty politician," he said to his wife next morning. "Before any one else saw the approaching fearful business depression he foretold it, and now he foresees a change, for he is drinking champagne again. That is a favorable sign. I am sure, Jetty, that the times are better. This afternoon you may engage the cake again as before." "Thank Heaven!" said the baker, when Frau Grundhuber gave her order as of old. "The times are improving. I tell you what, wife, we'll but a fine dress for Mathilde now." A week later Herr Kleemuller purchased the "Landscape by Moonlight." Business was "up" again. The prevailing "depression" had taken leave of the village, although the war that had caused it was only just declared. This short period of unusual terror to the honest citizens of Gruningen formed a subject for discussion for many years after. "Heaven save us from hard times!" the housewives muttered, as they crossed themselves devoutly. A certain professor, passing through the town at that season of misery, was heard to exclaim, as he took his departure from the hospitable Einhorn: "There are, forsooth, more simpletons among us than hard times!" The Curse of Pockets A tailor who had received an order for a suit of clothes was asked by the customer's wife for an interview. "I want to ask you as a special favor," she said, "not to put any pockets in my husband's clothes." "Why not?" asked the astonished tailor. "Because they are responsible for his looking so shabby so much of the time," she explained. "He wears his clothes for weeks without pressing because he says it is too much trouble to change the things in his pockets to another suit. He says that half the men who go-round in seedy clothes do so for the same reason. If that is so, just leave out the pockets and they will have no excuse for shabbiness." "That is a new point of view," said the tailor. "I will see about it." But when the suit came home it had the usual number of pockets. New York Su. CITY. FOOD. VS. COUNTRY. "I think I'll be getting well now that I have come to the city to live," said the girl who had been living in the country for her health, "and can have what I want to eat—good things. Look at these peaches I got for our breakfast—real peaches, red one side and creamy on the other. See, they are so fine you can take the peeling off with your fingers. And guess what I paid for them. Next to nothing. I haven't had any this season. You see they don't have peaches in the country till they grow on the trees. I love the kind that grow on the New York pushcarts. "Now, don't think I'm extravagant, but I bought a canteloupe, too. We can eat that first, then make the peaches our dessert. "Do canteloupes grow on trees or just come up out of the ground? I never saw any at all in the country. I think they must be a city fruit, you see so many of them around. Guess what I paid for this lovely little canteloupe big enough for us two. Three cents. I tell you we can live very cheaply here in the city, and have just what we want. We can both live on what you paid for my board in the country. I will count up exactly what I spend and you will see. "Isn't this cream-simply delicous? I am glad to have cream again. Yes, I know, I lived on a dairy farm, but do you suppose they let us have cream? If we got skimmed-milk we were mighty lucky. I haven't tasted cream since I lived in the city. Maybe this is milk from our dairy farm we are drinking. I wouldn't be surprised. And still, it is awfully good milk. I don't know." "These eggs, too. I am very fond of eggs for breakfast and I haven't had them for such an awful long time. Have them on the farm? Why, of course not. Dalry farm eggs bring too much money in the city for farm people to eat them. "I have bought some corn on the car for our dinner. Did you really think we had it out there? Why, it hasn't got ripe yet, and when it does they won't have it. They will sell it. We have eating canned corn the year round. I suppose if it wasn't for the country people the canned corn people would peg out. There wouldn't be anybody to sell it to to amount to anything." The same with tomatoes. The same with nearly everything. And you wonder why I am thin. "Look here, I don't believe I'll ever in the world get back my liking for meat. You wonder why I want little, tiny, thin slices of cooked ham cut off at the delicatessen store by a long-thin, sharp knife till it almost looks like the shadow of slices of meat. This is why. I like to eat animals. I am not acquainted with. I am tired to death of eating legs I've seen running gayly about the farm, pigs I've seen squealing, that I've heard in their death rattle, that I've seen chopped to mince meat and made sausage of, the odor of which I have had to endure. I'd rather eat cured ham that's been in the cold storage a century or two. Then you know the owner hasn't been a friend of yours and you haven't got to listen to him in his last agony. "The chickens! My landlady used to wait till they were greatgrand-mothers before she'd kill them. Then she'd have them in the frying pan before they'd quit wriggling. "We were eating them when by rights they should have been cooling off and getting ready to be cooked and eaten. There was a cow they were all very fond of. They called her Rose. I rather liked that cow, too, if she did give skimmed milk and little enough of it at that. Well, the time came for her to die and they killed her. No cold storage for Rose. Like the chickens and pigs she must be eaten up-at once while they were in the humor. They wouldn't have eaten her at all if she hadn't been tough as leather. They would have sold her. "Do you know what they did? Sat up at the table and said, 'Will you have some of Rose?' "Wouldn't that take your appetite? Wouldn't you have lost flesh, too, and got to be skin and bones as I am? I just reckon you would. "Oh, yes, I shall be getting well and fat and, rosy now that I have come to the city again, where I can have all the fruit I want and eat strange animals."—New York Press.

Aerial Flight is Assured--Its Vehicle an Aeroplane BALLOON: FOR: WAR, BUT: NOT: FOR: WORK Sir Hiram Maxim, in an interview in the New York Herald, says that within ten years at the outside men will be navigating the air as surely and safely as they do the land or the sea, and Professor Huntington also joins in his belief, both declaring that the aeroplane is the airship of the future. A Herald correspondent interviewed some of the leading au-thorities in England, and on all hands he was practically told: "If it be not now, it will come soon." Sir Hiram Maxim said: "We shall not have any balloons in future; we shall have flying machines. The flying machine is heavier than air, just as the birds are. There are no balloons in nature." apparatus that would life a man, and although they have kept the result of their trials secret, there is no doubt that they have made a great advance in the last year or two. "Of course I am only going on what I heard, but I think they have succeeded in producing a flying machine of practical value. A great deal of scepticism has been expressed about their flying twenty-four miles. That is a very considerable achievement. "Yet, personally, I think they have done it and now, so far as they are concerned, it simply becomes a question of working out the details. "However, it all amounts to this: The flying machine is an accomplished Continuing, the famous inventor said: "In his recent lecture Colonel Fullerton advised continuing experiments with balloons. I don't agree with him. As a matter of fact, it has only been on very rare occasions that the balloon has returned to its starting point, and these results have only been obtained in France. "Much experimenting has been done in England, but we have not attained such satisfactory results. At present several of the best engineers are engaged in studying aeronautics, and perhaps the whole science of aerial navigation may be solved any day. "These men are being assisted in their work by clever balloon makers, but, as I have already said, I think the balloon will soon be a thing of the past. So I always advise my friends to give their attention to the flying machine. "A few years ago the automobile was looked upon as a sort of monstrosity; now it is practically a necessity, and I really think that in ten years, at the very outside, we will be navigating the air as easily and as surely as we are now navigating the sea and even roads. "For a balloon to lift, it must have specific gravity less than air. To attain this it must be exceedingly fragile. Therefore it is useless for all practical purposes. Again, it has to be of comparatively enormous dimensions. "Thus, you see, in a balloon you have a combination of size and fragility, which must tell against its usefulness. But with the advent of the true flying machine these drawbacks will disappear. "So I have no hesitation whatever in saying that before many more years pass we shall do away completely with the balloon. If we are ever to fly it must be with a machine heavier than air. Many men are busily engaged in trying to invent a machine which, like a bird, will stay in the air as long as they wish and go wherever they desire to guide it. 'Wright brothers are engaged in making these machines in America and M. Santos-Dumont has spent a large fortune and, I am pleased to say, has met with a certain amount of success in his experiments. The German Emperor, too, is taking the matter up, and he will have the leading scientists in Germany at his disposal. Then Professor Langley and myself have both worked hard trying to solve the problem. "That solution is coming, whatever people may think, and I really believe myself that within a year from now there will be a great number of machines in the air. This is certain to happen within two years at any rate. "We cannot get away from the fact that the real flying machine has now made its appearance. M. Santos-Dumont has proved this in his recent demonstrations, and these mark the beginning of a totally new epoch in the history of the world. There are sure to be some startling developments within the next year. We are only on the threshold at present, and the immediate future is full of possibilities. "Personally, I think that the road to success lies in the development of powerful motors. This means careful and expensive experiments, yet I feel sure that success will soon be achieved. The flying machine will be a sporting affair in the beginning, just as the automobile was. "But in the same way it will be developed so that it can be used for practically all commercial purposes. Some persons may declare this the dream of a visionary. It is no such thing. Flying machines have come. They will be improved, and at no very distant time, ten years at most, we shall be traveling from 'place to place in our flying machines just as at the present day we go by train or automobile." Professor A. K. Huntington, of Katy's College, London, who was one of the two British competitors in the international balloon race which ended in England, also thinks that the immediate future holds great probabilities in the development of aerial navigation. He said: "The future is with aeroplanes. Personally I have not done much with them up to now, except having models made. Probably what has retarded progress up to now is the expense attaching to the experiments. "The Wright brothers have been pegging away for years, and must have tried a great number of models some years ago then as far as I can remember." apparatus that would life a man, and although they have kept the result of their trials secret, there is no doubt that they have made a great advance in the last year or two. "Of course I am only going on what I heard, but I think they have succeeded in producing a flying machine of practical value. A great deal of scepticism has been 'expressed about their flying twenty-four miles. That is a very considerable, achievement. "Yet, personally, I think they have done it and now, so far as they are concerned, it simply becomes a question of working out the details. "However, it all amounts to this: The flying machine is an accomplished fact, as several others beside the brothers Wright have arrived at good results, I think we will soon see a workable machine. You see when once you get a machine that will lift, improvements are sure—some very rapidly. "The objection I see in the aeroplane at present is its lightness and construction, but this will be gradually overcome, I have no doubt. In order to clear any obstacles near its starting point it must be light, so that it can lift rapidly, and on this very account the machine can be casly damaged. "This has occurred with M. Santos-Dumont. Still, when once we have got to the principle of the thing, improvements are only a question of time. There is no doubt that the dirigible balloon will be valuable for war purposes, but we can never hope to produce it at small cost, and the future rests with the aeroplane. "There, is no reason to doubt that an aeroplane can be driven against the wind, and the great thing wanted in it now is stability. In this lies the weakness of this demonstration. But, of course; one is sure to try to overcome these difficulties. "Still, until the aeroplane is kept in the air for a longer time than M. Santos-Dumont succeeded in doing, it is not possible to say that, through some fault of its construction, the machine will not tilt. There are certainly strong gusts of wind, and any one of those might turn the aeroplane over. "In dealing with aeroplanes, it must be borne in mind that you are traveling near the ground and, to be successful, the machine must be built so that it will go a sufficient height from the ground to clear houses, trees and anything else that may come in the way. These difficulties will, of course, be overcome in time. "But the solution of the aeroplan is dependent upon actual experiment. Theory helps us to see the limitations of any particular form of construction, but we do not know enough at present to say what is the best form of construction. Therefore, it is by experiment and by this method alone that we shall learn. "Still, I think that well within the next five years a very considerable advance will have been made in this particular branch of aeronautics. Not so very long ago people scouted the idea of sending messages across the sea by wireless telegraphy. Yet it has been done, and in the same way traveling through the air will become a reality." M. Georges Besancon, of Parls, secretary of the Aero Club, an editor of the Aerophile, has received a long letter from the Wright brothers, of Dayton, Ohio, explaining their experiments in the last few years. This letter adds little to what is already known of the claims of the Wright brothers, beyond bringing out more clearly than ever the fact that considerable trouble has been met with in finding the correct way of maintaining one's balance in the air. It is this problem, in fact, with which M. Santos-Dumont is now struggling. At the Aero Club a good deal of scepticism reigns concerning the claims made by the Wrights, especially with regard to the oft repeated statement that the French Government has practically purchased the apparatus. M. Becancan said that so far as he knew the offer made by the Wrights, that they would display the apparatus to any one willing to pay a million franc ($200,000), for its purchase in case they succeeded in flying fifty kilometres (thirty-one and one-fourth miles) in an hour, had never been withdrawn. He considered it astonishing that the offer had never been accepted, seeing that no risks were to be run. M. Jacques Faure, hero of several sensational cross Channel balloon trips and other long distance flights, seen by a Herald correspondent concerning the Wrights, said he had never from the commencement had the slightest confidence In the statements made concerning their long distance flights. Missions had been sent over from France to investigate the statements made, and had returned with aVDictof "Not proven."

A FEW REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BECOME A STOCKHOLDER IN THE UNION SAVINGS. First—It is a sound and safe Negro concern, and offer a safe investment for your savings. Second—It is a purely local concern, operated and controlled by men who live here and who are largely interested in Savannah, Georgia and the South. Third—Every dollar of money invested in the Union Savings is kept in the South and used to upbuild Negro business, among our people. Fourth—The Union Savings will in the near future erect a handsome Negro Bank Building, where you can go and be treated as men and women; no "Jim Crow." Fifth—We shall look to the establishment of a large Department Store which will give employment to many of the men and women, boys and girls of our race. Sixth—We pay you a reasonable rate of interest on your money, and do not use all the profits to enrich a few. Seventh—Because in "Union there is strength" and we must unite for self help and self protection, and self elevation. Eighth—We shall assist our people in owning their own homes by buying and building for them upon reasonable terms. Stop renting and become a home owner Tenth—We mean to demonstrate to the world that the Negro has real ability, that he is honest and that he is capable, and for these reasons you should do your business with the Union Savings & Loan Co., 20 State Street West Dr. J.

NO RELIEF FOR 15 YEARS. All Sorts of Remedies Failed to Cure Eczema—Sufferer Tried Cuticura and is Entirely Cured. "I have had eczema for over fifteen years, and have tried all sorts of remedies to relieve me, but without avail. I stated my case to one of my friends and he recommended the Cuticura Remedies. I bought them with the thought that they would be unsuccessful, as with the others. But after using them for a few weeks I noticed to my surprise that the irritation and peeling of the skin gradually de- creased, and finally, after using five cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticu- rium Ointment it disappeared entirely. I feel now like a new man, and I would gladly recommend these remedies to all who are afflicted with skin diseases. David Blum, Fox A, Bedford Station, N. Y, Nov. 6, 1903."

Accompanying this article is the latest and a very good picture of Miss Ida Tarbell, the American historian. Miss Tarbell, though a lifelong student, has little of the appearance of the bookworm. There is a merry twinkle in the brown eyes, which reflects a keen sense of humor. Her dark-hair is worn pompomd style above a broad, thoughtful brow. Hers are clear-cut features, the mouth 10 MISS IDA TARBELL. showing determination and the chin being well molded. Above medium height, with a dignified carriage, Miss Tarbell is a figure to attract attention in any assemblage. Few people possess greater powers of discrimination and a clearer grasp, it is said, than does Miss Tarbell. She believes in specializing, and has concentrated her efforts in literary work along historical lines. In this sort of thing she has proved herself an expert. Miss Tarbell is a native of Pennsylvania. She was born in the oil regions, and was, so to speak, "soaked in oil," so that when the time came to write on the timely subject of the history of oil production manipulation, she had a lifelong experience to draw from and unique sources of information. A foreign education has helped in giving the indefinable touch of culture to a strong, womanly personality, and Miss Tarbell stands to-day in the front rank of the great host of American women writers.

Prompt Action Necessary. "Is this Lawyer Sharpley?" asked the caller, who appeared with a big lump on his jaw. The man in the swivel chair admitted that he was Mr. Sharpley, and also that he saw the bump. "Yes, it is quite noticeable," said the caller, with a cheerful smile. "I got it a couple of days ago, while I was stepping on a street car. The motorman started too soon, and he made me hit my jaw against the side of the car. I thought at first that it had broken the bone, but it hadn't quite. It hurt me awfully, though, and I want you to bring suit against the company for damages." "I am very busy just now," said the lawyer, "but I can take it up for you in the course of three or four days." "That won't do at all." "Why not?" "Because," answered the caller, hesitatingly, "that might be too late. The lump is-getting smaller every day." New Type of Railroad Car. The tendency in the construction of modern railroad equipment is to design cars which are absolutely fireproof. Statistics prove that more lives are lost in the fires which inevitably follow serious wrecks on the road than are actually caused by the collision. Railroads in every part of the United States are at present experimenting with passenger coaches of fireproof construction, and are building no more of the old wooden type. The majority of these new fireproof cars have been of steel construction throughout, with the exception, of course, of the seats. It has been found that this is the ideal material. The one disadvantage is in the fact that this type of car retains heat to a great extent, and the problem has narrowed down to a successful method of ventilation. One of the most recent devices for overcoming this fault is shown in the car here illustrated. This car is covered with a removable hood, which is supported over the car, a space intervening between the hood and the top and sides of the car. This is claimed to afford efficient means for keeping 89 Modern Railroad Car. the car cool. The hood is also made with the top and sides convex and tapering ends, thus assisting in securing speed. Humming birds range from Cape Horn to as far north as Sltka. A Sure Cure. The axe is about the only, sure cure, for a hen that has acquired the habit of eating eggs.—Southern Farm Magazine.

The frost is one of the agents of the farmer for pulverizing the soil. Every clod or lump in the field is a detriment, according to its size, as the finer the soil the greater its feeding capacity. Cause of Distrust. Some farmers 'reduce prices of hay by the practice of placing inferior hay in the centre of the bales whenever it can be done. This causes distrust on the part of the purchaser, and he therefore resorts to straw, salt hay and other foods that can be used as a substitute for clover and timothy. Testing Eggs. A simple method of finding out the age of an egg is by means of the air space, which is situated towards the broad end of the shell. If the egg is held up between the hands before the light in a dark room, the air space is very small, but as age increases it extends, until, when the egg is three weeks old, the air space is about a sixth of the entire egg-space. With practice the age can be told to within twenty-four hours. Value of Dead Leaves. According to tests recently made in France, dead leaves possess a higher value as fertilizer for the land than ordinary manure. They are extensively used, by the market gardeners about the city of Nantes. Pear leaves rank next highest in nitrogenous content, oak leaves come next and the leaves of vines lowest in value. Experiments have shown that forty-four pounds, of pear leaves eighty pounds of popular leaves, fifty-one pounds of peach leaves, eighty-two pounds of elm leaves and eighty-three pounds of locust leaves are respectively equivalent in nitrogenous content to 100 pounds of ordinary manure. Vine leaves alone are less valuable than manure. Water and Salt For Cows. Eight gallons of water a day is the average quantity required for a cow and the milk given is about eighty-seven per cent. water. In some pastures there is no water, the cows being supplied night and morning, which forces each cow to drink four gallons at a time in order to be supplied. As the cow does not know that she must drink four gallons, she may use less and she will reduce her milk supply accordingly. Extensive tests, and investigations have been made at the experiment stations to determine the advisability of adding salt to the ration of dairy cows. As a result of these trials, it is recommended that dairy cows be given at least one ounce of salt per day. Exceptionally heavy millers will require more than this. The uniform results obtained with all cows employed in these trials indicate that salt in addition to that obtained in their food is absolutely essential to the continued health of a dairy cow, while producing milk. It is evident, moreover, that the amount of salt which must be supplied directly will greatly vary in different localities, it being more at high elevations and at places remote from the sea. Splint on Horses' Legs. Splint is an enlargement of the cannon bone just below the knee, usually on the inside, but it is sometimes on the outside. They are quite common on the forelegs, in fact, nearly all horses that have seen much service have them, but they occasionally come on the hind legs. The usual seat is between the cannon and inner splint bones. Sometimes they attain the size of 'hen's eggs, but usually are quite small. They generally cause some lameness when growing, but rarely do so when hard. They result from sprains, strains or bruises. Sometimes the splint comes on the surface and then it does not cause much lameness, but when it comes under the skin which covers the bone it is very painful. When splints come from bruises they may appear on any part of the leg. If noticed when the injury first occurs, apply the following cooling lotion: Muriate of ammonia, one ounce; nitrate of potash, one-ounce; either hot or cold water, one quart. Apply three times a day until the soreness is nearly all gone and then apply the following blister: Powdered cantharides, one-half ounce; binidolide of mercury, two drachms; lard, four ounce, mfx and rub in well. Give a couple of weeks rest. Feed on light soft food while idle. When the lameness and soreness to the touch are excessive, especially if the nodule is small, the trouble lies next to the bone and requires an operation; the covering of the bone must be split to allow the matter from the inflammation to escape, which will relieve the tension. It is done by cutting a small hole in the skin and pushing in a thin, long blad and cutting the tough, thin bone covering over the lump. No change need be made in the shoeing. Money in Pheasant Raising. "One proof of the fact that there is no country under the sun with as many people of wealth as ours," said the game fancier, "is found in the large number of English phensants imported to this country. "In 1904 the number was 150,000, and these were all for table use. Last year an increase of about ten per cent. In this number was reported. The pheasant is a table luxury, and in England, France, Germany, and Belgium they are reared by the thousands. "In America breeding is but in its infancy. In ten years, however, we may be producing enough to supply the local demand, and prices will be cheaper than now. The cheapest one can be purchased now is about $2, and from that figure up to $10 or $15 is demanded. "The English and the Mongolian pheasants are game birds, and an increasing demand for them for preserves of clubs and wealthy owners of country seats is noted. We have one breeder in the East who supplies from 2000 to 3000 a season, and he has to import many in order to fill all his orders. "The pheasant is a beautiful bird and by no means difficult to rear or breed. "Their plumage is in good demand for millinery purposes. Taxidermists pay as high as $8 and $10 for the skins of the best marked birds. "There are varieties of pheasants that are purely ornamental. They appeal neither to the cook nor to the hunter. "Pheasantas cost much in the winter months. About September 1 the breeder adds ten per cent. to this price. This holds good until April, when they quit laying. The pheasant is as hardy and as easily rearer as the turkey, but they are not domesticated birds. With the pheasant one is dealing with a bird that is still subject to the laws of the jungle and exhibits many of the instincts of the wild life from which they are really but a few generations removed. They are but cousins to the domestic fowl, and in habits are more like the wild grouse and quail. The longer the breed has been in captivity the more docile and the better layers they are." — New York Sun. Husking Corn in the West. A writer in the Country Gentleman gives some interesting facts regarding corn husking in the great corn belt. Up to this time genius of man has failed to invent a machine that can satisfactorily remove the husks from corn ears and the work affords employment to a large number of men. Some fabulous stories are told of the number of bushels husked by experts. The writer says among other things: Corn huskers last summer were able to earn as much as $4.51 a day husking sweet corn. Husking comes pretty near being at least a half year's job, sometimes more than that. The summer corn husking is done for the big canneries that are located in the great corn belt of Illinois, for no State in the Union produces better sweet corn in such vast quantity. The towis in which the canneries are located do not begin to supply the help that was demanded. Largely Chicago was drawn on for huskers, and an army of them have been at work. Two hours out of Chicago on the Burlington road there is a single cannery that cans about 100,000 cans of sweet corn in a single day. This is at Rochelle, and there is another one down on the eastern Illinois at Hoopestown. At the Rochelle cannery hands are paid fifteen cents an hour and three cents a bushel over forty. Some of the hands husked as much as 128 bushels in a day, and for the work the pay check amounted to $4.51. Scores of other huskers were doing great work. Very few of them earned under $3 a day. They are boafed in a big tent outside of the plant, and charged so much a week. It will not be long now before the husking of field corn will commence. There is a tremendous crop this year, and a large number of hands will be required to take care of it. This job lasts well into the winter, and in some instances longer. The price paid huskers ranges from two and a half to four cents a bushel. Last year a young man in Bureau County is said to have husked 162 bushels and forty pounds in nine hours and a half. For this work he was paid $1.10 and was paid $20 on a wager that he had made that he could perform the feat. Hundreds of huskers last year earned $3 a day and their board and washing thrown in. Each husker is required to drive his own team and crib his corn. Human hands, as in the case of sweet corn husking, are required to handle this great task, for while many machines have been invented to harvest corn, cutting it in the stalk in some instances, and picking the ears off in others, men and boys are employed to do the great bulk of the work, using no other implement than the old fashioned husking peg strapped to the fingers of the right hand. Last year there was considerable difficulty in getting all the hands that were required, and one of the results was that women turned out and helped do the work. Church and other society women, for the purpose of enriching their treasuries, turned out in large numbers and hundreds of acres of corn in Illinois were handled in this way. Despite the fact that help was scarce last year, a great deal of it was through the elevators and on the railways. Thanksgiving THE PULPIT A SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV IRA W. HENDERSON THE FAMOUS DIVINE Theme: Jesus Christ; an Estimate. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the friving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme, "Jesus Christ; an Estimate," the Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, pastor, took as his text St. John 1:14: "And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." He said: The history of many lands and of many people through two thousand years is the record of the influence and the inspiration of Jesus Christ. Upon the story of the world none has made a deeper impress, none has marked a richer fame. Born in a manger, His early acts almost unknown, a mere pittance of His royal wealth of mind and divinity of soul preserved to us to this day—and that pittance a storehouse of wisdom and eternal life—the character and the claims of Christ stand forth pre-eminent and predominant before the world. Through every epoch and in every age the might and majesty of His life have been a force for uplift among nations, and a factor for righteousness in individual lives. Listening to the admonitions of the Saviour, rulers have learned the way to reign. Attending to the advice of the Master, many a sin-seared soul has entered into Heaven's haven and found safety in a sure salvation. Laying His hand upon womanhood, Christ bid her rise. Speaking to the hearts of men, He has counseled justice, and has billed mankind be fair. To the statesman, to the craftsman, to the captains of industry and to the tillers of the soil, the words and the works of the soil, the words and the measure of the manhood and the guarantee of His divinity. Sent of almighty God to be the Saviour of human kind, Jesus has taught every mortal how to live. Preaching no gospel of minutiae, our Lord has given unto us a rule of faith and practice that must revolutionize the world. Born into a world of castle, class and prejudice, birthed Christ taught the value and nobility of teach and every value. Finding pride to do more of account than purity. He danced cleanliness of heart. Finding hypocrisy to be far more prevalent than high-mindedness. He asserted the necessity for sanctity of soul. Trusting in the assurance of divine guidance, and feeling the impulses of divine love, the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost. With sublime confidence in the invincibility of the right, and that truth must win, the Christ assailed and arraigned, with fearless fear, all the host of spiritual wicked ones who prostituted to their own ends the holy places and the hallowed purposes of the Most High. Filled with sympathy for all the army of the earth's oppressed. He spread a loving arm about them all, and bade them take courage and have peace and cheer. Knowing the beauty and the blessedness of holiness, and seeing the hideousness of sin, our Lord yearned that men should experience and know the joy and glory of the Father's favor. First and foremost in the world of human action, Jesus Christ stands today, yesterday and forever as the Saviour of mankind. The incarnation and the revelation of the Father, He has preached and practiced that nobility of life that awakens within the human, heart the recognition of His divine authority. Hearing His words of love and of light, and seeing His blameless life of beauty and of grace, men have recognized in Him that word from Heaven which shall sanctify and save the world. Experiencing the inability of wisdom to reveal Jehovah in His fullness, and longing for that preachment from on high which shall point the way to salvation and the perfect knowledge of our God, men have ever since the days of Christ known in Him that power and ability which can save. "Words are good only when backed up by deeds. Christ preclaimed His using action. He preached grace and lived a life of love." "Actions speak louder than words." Declaring His integrity with God, the Lord of Life revealed, in outward act, an inner and diviner grace. Urging the need for purity, He was pure; stailing the nobility of righteousness, He was just; standing firm for holiness and for sanctity of life. He never strayed from God; a counselor of lovellness. He was patient and kind and true; persuading men to godliness, and dissuading human souls from sin, the Christ ever exemplified in His own career that godly and sinless life that His promises inspire. Christ as the Saviour is supreme. Of omitors He has many, and of equals none. To be the saviour of this world from sin, a man must have within his soul the fullness of divinity and of Godhood. To be accepted by mankind as the revelation of the Father and the healer of the race, a man must show forth in act the hidden, inner power. The Christ rings true. The melodies of Heaven peal through His words. He speaks, and we hear His words. He acts, and the very manner is divine. He listen and we see. Our hearts respond. We take Him at His word, and prove His power. We trust His promise, and we imitate His life. Christian experience sustains Him. He is indeed a Saviour. He is in truth the way and the life. Revelation is information. To reveal is to disclose. To inform is to disclose facts which were before unknown to those who may give ear. Disclosure is an uncovering. Christ the Revealer has disclosed to man what is the character of God, not only by the words He spoke, but also by the life He lived. He has taken the well away and informed us of the fullness of the glory of Jehovah. He has revealed to us not only what God is, but also what man should be. Christ has revealed to us the loving Father of each of us in our God. The Fatherhood is individual and not along social. Sonship is no mere matter of nationality, but is rather the victory of personality. Revelation at bottom is not political, but personal; not social, but individual. Through the individual recognition of the obligation of sonship is national salvation assured. The agreement of sanctified personalities to serve God, and that well, is the basis and the beginning of social deliverance from the bondage of sin. God is the Father of Israelites first, and through them of Israel. His love is the heritage of every heart and not alone the portion of the priests. His grace will lift all men to glory and through them the State. The power of Jesus Christ in the world to-day is due to the fact that, in His capacity of Revealer and Saviour, He measured true to divine demands. Truth triumphs. Sincerity counts. To straddle is unsafe. In spiritual power is the greatest strength. The straight way is the safe way. Principle is potent to gain respect. Sham and shoddy are soon discovered. Christ claimed divinity, and He lived a godly life. He insisted that His was the way unto life eternal, and we know He spoke the truth. Investigation of His life finds His action and speech in harmony. The, measure of His conduct by His uttered ideals can find no flaw. He is as He claims to be, and His glory is as the glory of the Father. The Christ was a stalwart man. As the Anglo-Saxons had it, He was a man who was "foundation-worthy." Fixed firm and constant the Christ was never guilty of defection from the strict, straight path of loyal duty. Full worthy was our Lord to be the founder of a spiritual and moral renaissance that will overcome the world. Built strong and firm and true was He, upon whom the hopes of humanity are fixed. The Christ was a man of courage. He was a man of heart. Courage is heartiness. To be hearty is to be full of heart. He did not shrink from danger. Without a sign of fear or fright, our Lord desired the very juniper, the powers of darkness,匀ity, bravely, noisy He cleansed His Father's house. How mightly He inveighed against the powers of Palestine we may all attest. The Christ was not weak hearted. Having a work to do He did it with a will. Conscious of the odds against Him, He had no fear. Out in the open, despised, forsaken even by His friends, trusting only in the power of the truth. He battled ever on for human liberty. Bearing upon His broken body the sins of an evil world, He was yet courageous; He had always heart. The Christ was sound to the core. The Christ was a man of determination. He was a man of resolution. Having determined His sphere and His call in life, He was resolved to fill it. To be determined is to be ready to go to all lengths—that is to go to the thing through to the finish. The Christ was true to His resolves, even unto an ignominious end. Having marked a clear line of duty, He walked without swerving. Hearing the call of the dying world, He saw and conquered Calvary. The Christ was a sturdy man. He had power of resistance, and He could not less well force the fight. Born with antipathy to evil, He stood against sin firmly. Seeing the inhumanity of mankind to man, He forced the issue, and He flayed, with burning words, the evil of His day. Strong as the oak He stood against the storm. Keen as the tempered blade He smote His adversaries. Were they wry He was more. Were they they wry He was more. Did they lay a snare. He did but tangle all of them in the meshes of their selected net. When they were most cautious than did the Christ confound them. They smote Him and He did not flee. They showed him Caesar's image, but He was not caught. They predicated marriage in the heavenly country and He pointed their mistake. They asked a sign and got not one. But sturdy and stalwart and strong of purpose and of will, as the 'Master was, He was yet the soul of sympathy. Hating iniquity and scoring evil, He had yet a healing hand for men. Disdaining sifi, His heart held pity for the sinner. Crucified by wickedness, He could yet pray mercy for His persecutors. His was the sympathy that cured. His was the tenderness that touched. Filled with divine compassion, He knew the sufferings of human souls, and He preferred healing and a rich release. "Men, like nails, lose their usefulness when they lose their direction and begin to bend," runs a piece of sterling wisdom. The Saviour had His bearings, and He kept the goal in sight. For Him the straight way was the surest, and He walked the middle of the path of duty. The offer of a whole world's wealth could not swerve Him from His course. "Get the beehind Me, devil," was the motto of His life as He dealt with sin. His fidelity should be the fashion of our faith. His directness should insure our zeal. His sympathy should sustain our love toward men and for God. His stalwart energy and sturdiness of soul should be our pattern. Our lives should radiate His light. Our spirits should suffuse His love. What Titian and Corot and Turner did for art; what Bach and Beethoven and Mendelssohn did for music; what Tennyson and all the lyric host have done for the conservation and the culture of the minds of men, that, and infinitely more, can Jesus do toward the saving of a soul. Sturdy and stalwart and strong He stands to-day the Saviour of the race, the incarnation of the Word. His actions are an open book, and he who curs may read. His words are mighty unto life that is eternal, and he who bears and heeds may live. The imitation of His character is the calling of the Christian. The re-presenting of His strength, His power, purity and love, is the sign of Christy grace. Have you much or many? A TOMATO ORCHARD. You Can Have One In Florida' With Tomato Trees 15 Feet High. If you, could keep the frost away from a tomato vine for a couple of years it would get to be a fair sized tree. At least the Texas Farmer says so and claims that it actually occurs sometimes in Florida in years when the frost king leaves that State alone. By the same sign you can plant tomatoes in winter in Florida and have them grow all the spring and summer and fall, and under the right conditions they become very large. The midrib of the leaf of such a tomato plant will grow to be eighteen inches long, a veritable tree limb. As a result of having seven acres of winter tomatoes frozen out during the great freeze in Florida one grower learned something about how they stake tomatoes in Mississippi. He tried three-quarters of an acre of it in Florida, and the rows of tomato plants, hanging full of fruit, looked like a dwarf fruit orchard. It takes a lot of work, though, and time to stake and prune tomatoes, but for a kitchen garden supply, North or South, especially if space is limited, the method is ideal. Six feet* is the height to which the tomatoes should be trained, and pruned to a single stem. They can be made to grow ten or fifteen feet as well, but this is an inconvenient height. ITS FINISH.

How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California-Fig,Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required.

It was generally remarked that the propor- tion of-tiegroes in the line was small- er than in previous years, but a num- ber of negro ctvil war veterans and “Spanish war veterans joined with mil- itary and patriotic societies in extend- ing greetings to the president. ‘There was en unsusanlly large num- ber of children in line, and all were rected cordially by the president.

Only three wives of ambassadors attended the recepticn—the Baroness Sternberg, wife of the German am- Dassador; the Baroness Rosen, wito ‘of the Russian ambassador, and the Viscountess Aoki, wife of the Japan ese ambassador.

Ugiously and morally worthy of this freedom, “There are bad Negroes, just as there are, bad, ‘white, folk, but most writers on the subject seem-not to see it that way. They underrate the moral and religious Ufe.of ‘Negroes as though they were, the only people who must be measured by and forced to a certain fixed «standard of morality and religion. Whatever bad thing one Ne- gre does {s often held up as an exant- rple of what Js characteristic, ‘not only Of that Negro, but of the entive race as well. Things ought not so to be. “The Negro is certainly setting higher standards of morality and is getting more godly fn his religious life. I can remember when the most disorderly public place ‘in the com- inguity was the Negro church, but now the thing has changed and they indeed and in truth are serving ‘the Lord in the heauty of holiness. ‘I{ we accept the definition of re- ligion, given’ Sy an eminent German scholar, that it {5 the worship of the higher powers from a sense of! need, then public opinion will give thé Ne- gro a higher religious status than any other people upon the globe. For the Negro is always ‘in need—he is ever on the receiving hand, and for this reason he {s found in every branch of the Christian ‘church that assays to do misslonary work among us. He is in the great Missionary Baptist Church, the fervent ‘Methodist camp ‘and the formal Episcopal. He is among the aggresslye Congre- gationalists, the multiform Presbyte- rlans and wherever else the people of, God are found.

But it Is not so. The argument Js false from premise to conclusion. The Ne- gro is well able to maintain what he tains.
