"YES, WIFE AND I ALWA ING IN THE SCOTT BON Several months ago the country at large got acquainted with the free speech of Scott Bond of Arkansas, who got his foot in it at the Business League by an imputed remark upon the women folk's dress and shoes. Mr. Bond does talk a great deal, but he is as harmless as June wind: He likes to talk. For many years Mr. Bond has been a chief talker at the Tuskegee Negro Conference, and so careful a reporter as Dr Robert E.

Doctor Jones gives us a true account of Bond: With the country, we had heard of Mr. Scott Bond, and through the courtesy of Professor Blount we were driven to Madison, Ark., the headquarter of the large interests of Mr. Bond. Here we found the gentleman whose success was heralded throughout the country at the last session of the National Negro Business League. Much was said at that time of his business activities and there was not the least exaggeration. We were first ushered into a department store. The building is a large and substantial concrete structure of three stories, and it is full from top to bottom, with groceries, hardware, agricultural implements, furniture, dry goods, shoes and everything that might be needed to make a village store complete.

WOMEN CARRY THIS ELECTION Day of Triumph for Them In Tarrytown, N. Y.---Not One Ballot Was Void. Tarrytown, N. Y.—Tarrytown will have $70,000 to enlarge its water supply and lay new mains for fire protection and Washington Engine Company will have a new $5,500 automobile combination fire apparatus, thanks to the women voters Tuesday. It was a day of triumph for the fair voters. They came, they voted, and they won. Never before in the history of the village have women taken such an active part in a campaign as the one which just closed, and they were only enlisted in the fight six days. On March 15 the Women's Civic League held a meeting. The next day women were being buttonholed on the streets by enthusiastic workers. Nearly every woman in Tarrytown was "seen" and a notice was published in the local press calling on the women to go out on election day and do their duty. The women heeded the call and out of 800 votes cast the women cast more than a third of the vote. The Women's Civic League is not a suffrage organization. Some members favor suffrage, while others oppose it. They stand for the betterment of the village and if it is necessary to use the ballot to accomplish this cause, they will embrace that opportunity and make the best of it. Miss Helen Gould, although not able to be present to vote, was deeply interested in the election and every man on her place went to the polls and with them went his wife in case she owned property. The Third district, in which she resides, gave the propositions the largest majority in proportion to the vote cast and much of the credit is given to her. It was the most interesting election ever held. The village ticket, on which the men were running, was lost sight of. In each polling place the ballot clerks were Lord Chesterfields and the men were bowing and scraping and ever ready to lend assistance. The women took their ballot and in most every case declined assistance, saying that they knew how to vote. The result proved it, for there was not one void ballot. In North Tarrytown the Rockefeller ticket, headed by John Wirth, won out: Mr. Wirth received 265 majority, but some of the trustees just squeezed through. The proposition to appropriate $2,500 for an automobile fire engine for Rockefeller's hose company carried. MOW HE STARTED THE CANAL Roosevelt Says he Took the Canal and Let Congress Debate, Berkeley, Cal. — Speaking at the annual Charter Day exercises in the Greek Theater at the University of California, Theodore Roosevelt made a plea for higher education and told how he started the Panama Canal. "I am interested in the Panama Canal," he said, "because I started it. If I had followed traditional, conservative methods, I would have submitted a dignified state paper of probably 200 pages to Congress and the debate on it would have been going on yet; but I took the Canal Zone, and let Congress debate; and while the debate goes on, the Canal does also." IMMUNITY BATH WORN OUT Federal Judge Decides Packers Must Stand Trial. Chicago. — United States Judge Carpenter, in a decision on demurrers to the indictments charging 10 Chicago packers with conspiracy in connection with the formation of the alleged Beef Trust, ruled that the "immunity bath" administered to the packers in 1905 is not in force, and the packers will have to stand trial on the present criminal indictments. The demurrers were based upon the contention of the plea that they furnished the evidence upon which the present case was founded, and that the immunity granted to them then is still in force. PENSIONS FOR TEACHERS Connecticut Educators Urge Adopting of System. Hartford, Conn. — Leading educators of Connecticut spoke before the committee on education of the general assembly in support of the measure to grant pensions to the public school teachers of the state. If the measure is enacted into law all the teachers in the public schools and normal colleges of the state will be eligible to retire on a pension after 30 years' employment, the amount of the pension to be in proportion to the salary received at the time of retirement. AWED! BEWARE LOOK OUT FOR THE DOG UNCLE SAN (Copyright, 1911.) CABLE IN SHADOW OF OUR FLAG Line From Yokohama to Guam Discovered. TAFT MAY ORDER WIRESIEZED End of Strange Cable Found Wrapped Around Regular Cable--Discoverers Astounded Upon Learning They Could Talk With Japanese War Office. Washingtno, D. C. — Students of the American-Japanese situation say that it was an interesting coincidence that President Taft should have sent for Baron Uchida, the Japanese Ambassador, for a "peace talk" almost simultancously with the announcement made at San Francisco of the discovery that Japan had control of a cable from Guam to Yokohama. This report, which was said to have been made by John Buckley, deck engineer on the army transport Crook, was generally ridiculed in official circles as too silly and preposterous for serious consideration. However, it develops that what Buckley disclosed was absolutely true and that the facts were supposed to have been known in Washington only by President Taft and Secretary of War Dickinson. It is stated on the authority of a high Government official that the report of this discovery was made to Secretary Dickinson personally by the captain of the cable ship which made the discovery while the Secretary was in the Philippines. The cable, however, had been laid to the island of Guam and not to the Phillipine Islands, as reported from San Francisco. Last fall it was found that the Pacific cable was defective, and the cable ship was sent out to investigate. At Guam a loose end of a strange cable was found wrapped around the regular cable. The officials of the repair party were perplexed by the discovery and were astounded when they began efforts at communication that they could talk directly into the Japanese War Office. It was thought that the discoverer was known by Japan, so close watch was put over the end at Guam, which has since been maintained, the idea being to seize the cable in case of necessity. So far as can be learned, this has not yet been done. Interesting developments may now be expected between the United States and Japan, since the discovery has become known. It is not conceived how Japan will be able to explain the existence of a cable from Yokohama direct to the shadow of the American flag on the island of Guam. The discovery of this cable indicates clearly to the army authorities that Japan has no intention of wasting any time or powder with the Philippine Islands in case of war with the United States. It can be said that it was on this principle that the joint Army and Navy Board two years ago decided to create the main Pacific naval and military base at Pearl Harbor, near Honolulu. Iowa Defeats Suffrage Des Moines, Ia.—The Iowa Senate defeated the resolution for woman suffrage. The vote was 27 to 21. FOUR AMERICANS ARE SHOT Execution Ordered By Mexican Drum- head Court-Martall---State Department to Probe. San Antonio, Tex.—John Hamilton Dignowitty,' well known here as "Ham" Dignowitty, and three other Americans have been shot to death under order of a Mexican court-martial for participation in the 'insurrection, according to a dispatch received by members of the Dignowitty family. The news was brought by Fred Dignowitty, a cousin of the executed man, but he had no particulars aside from the allegation that the execution was the order of a "drum-head" court-martial. "Ham" Dignowility was 30 years old and was engaged in the cattle and mining business in the State of Chihuahua. H. M. Burns, a mining man with interests in Northern Mexico, declared that the closing of the mines had thrown many Americans out of work and that more than 150 having no other way of living were now with the insurrectos. In addition, Burns said, there were probably 50 American adventurers with the insurrectos, but the majority were mining men out of work. Washington to Investigate. Washington, D. C.—Reports that four Americans had been shot under order of a Mexican court-martial will be given immediate investigation by the State Department, which has established a quick line of communication to the American Embassy at Mexico City. So far the press has been quicker on the trigger than the official advises which the State Department receives. The death of O'Driscoll, an American reported shot by insurgents, has been confirmed officially. It is not given out what action the Department will take in this or other cases. SIEZED EGGS FATAL TO PIGS Were Intended by Concern. For Human Food. Trenton, N. J.—The suit of the government against the H. J. Keith Company, of Boston, was opened here Wednesday. The action follows the seizure of eggs in a refrigerating plant in Jersey and their condemnation by the government as decomposed and unfit for food. Judge Cross heard Dr. Rosenberger testify that he injected solutions into pigs and rabbits, and in all cases the animals lost weight immediately, refused food and, in many cases, died within 24 hours. Mice thus treated, he said, died at once. Files With 13 Passengers. Mouzon, France.—Roger Sommer, the French biplanist, Friday broke Louis Breguet's "aerobus" record, which he made at Doual Thursday in taking up 12 passengers. Sommer carried 13 persons, weighing in the aggregate 1,430½ pounds. He flew, however, only two-thirds of a mile, whereas Breguet, who used a monoplane, went two miles. The weight of Breguet's passengers was 1,315 pounds. Nine Killed In Mine. Canonsburg, Pa.—Nine men were killed by a fall of slate in the Hazel mine of the Pittsburg and Buffalo Coal Company, at East Canonsburg. Eight of the dead miners are foreigners. One American, David Donley, was killed. CABINET RESIGNS TO HASTEN PEACE Disagree With Mexican President Regarding Insurrectos LIMANTOUR ALONE TO REMAIN Resignations Do Not Include That of Ramon Corral as Vice-President --Rebels Demand the Re- Crisis In Mexico. The Diaz Cabinet resigned in a body. The reason given for the action is the belief that it will contribute to the re-establishment of peace and facilitate the reforms which are in contemplation. Not one of the Ministers is less than 65 years of age, and their age is said to serve as an excuse for their retirement. Jose Yves Limantour, Minister of Finance, is said to be the only Cabinet member who will remain. Popular feeling against the Cabinet has been growing steadily since long before the beginning of the revolution. One of the demands of the insurrectors is that President Diaz shall agree to declare null his election of 1910 and submit to a new election under the terms for a free ballot allowed by the Constitution of 1851. Mexico City.—The Diaz Cabinet resigned in a body at a special meeting of that board Friday. The reason given for the action in an official announcement is the belief that it will contribute to the reestablishment of peace and facilitate the reforms which are in contemplation. Enrique C. Creel, minister of foreign relations, presented the resignations in behalf of all of the ministers. General Diaz thanked the retiring members for their efficient and patriotic co-operation in the past and announced that he would postpone his acceptance or rejection until later. The resignations included that of Ramon Corral as minister of the Department of Gobernacion, corresponding to the Department of the Interior in the United States, but not as vice-president. Not one of the men who formed President Dlaz's Cabinet is less than 65 years of age, and a number of them are much older. With the exception of Enrique C. Creel, minister of foreign affairs, all have been members of the President's official family for a great many years. This fact alone has been one of the grievances of the revolutionists, who have insisted that the chief executive should surround himself with representatives of the younger generation—men more closely in touch with the affairs of the people. Following are those whose resignations were received: Enrique C. Creel, minister of foreign affairs. Ramon Corral, minister of interior. Jose Yves Limantour, minister of finance. Olegario Molina, minister of fo- mento. Justo Sierra, minister of educa- tion. Manuel Gonzales Cosio, minister of war and marine. Leandro Fernandez, minister of public works and communications. Justino Fernandez, minister of justice. Without exception all these men have contributed valuable services to their country and to the President, but the popular feeling against them has been growing steadily since long before the beginning of the revolution. - DIES AT AGE OF 110 Missouri's Oldest Man Leaves Wife Aged 100. Sedalia, Mo.—Daniel Bartlett, said to have been Missouri's oldest man, died here from pneumonia. He was born at Booneville, Mo., in 1801. For many years he had been in perfect health, working as a laborer, much of the time. In an interview a few days ago he attributed his remarkable physical condition to simple living. He was not a total abstainer, but was temperate in all things. His wife, whom he married in 1827, is 100 years old. "YES, WIFE AND I ALWAYS DO A LITTLE GARDENING IN THE SPRING!"

DIES AT AGE OF 110. Missouri's Oldest Man Leaves Wife Agod 100. Sedalia, Mo.—Daniel Bartlett, said to have been Missouri's oldest man, dled here from pneumonia. He was born at Booneville, Mo., in 1801. For many years he had been in perfect health, working as a laborer, much of the time. In an interview a few days ago he attributed his remarkable physical condition to simple living. He was not a total abstainer, but was temperate in all things. His wife, whom he married in 1827, is 100 years old.

Many women, he said, have maids, to at- tend their pets. And plenty of these dog-crazed females call their dogs their babies and themselves the dog’s mother.

J., has just invented an improvement on the phonograph which is safd to have neb ted him a fortune. He is an expert mechanic and had been employed in a handkerchief mill in Passaic. Mr. Leech believed he could improve the tone of the phouograph, and set te work to making experiments. The Edison company heard of his efforts, and invited him to thelr works where he successfully demonstrated the feas ibility of his new idea, The company was so Impressed with the commercla! value of Leech’s invention that it 1s said they gave him $62,000 for ft. He is very fortunate to make money out of his invention, for it is usually the Tule that the man who invents does not get financial profit from his in vention. Mr. Edison himself Is a rare exception to this, for he has always been wise enough to obtain enough stock in the companies that manw factured his inventions to make hiz rich, and‘sold fifty dollars’ worth of peach es and apples, He has a garden ful of turnips, rutahagas, rape and col lards. He has made ten dollars or vegetables since Septembrr.

Tex years ago, Mr. Gaines was diggin; coal in the Buxton mines, while hls wife ran a restaurant near the scen4 of his labors. By economy, frugality and industry they were enabled tc buy land, upon which they have hat bullt a row of housees for business and residences three and a half blocks in length.

Mr. Simmoni Is fortunate in having a wife who Is truly a help-mate and at the same time interested in everything that makes for the higher Ilfe of the com- munity. Through their influence the colored people in that neighborhood, have within the past five or six years bought land and thereon built homey to the value of $16,000.

Some minds are narrow because they run in a rut. Most men shake their heads when others get rattled. Level-headed men ought to be on the square, but some of them are not. If some men were as successful at stump pulling as they are at leg pulling there'd be more cleared land for farming operations. Useless arguments are usually in the majority. Most men tell their troubles to the collectors. Good intentions are not noted for their accomplishments. One usually wants good security before trusting his fellow man.

When it comes to living high, the aviator has them all beat a city block. The sad part of having people pin their faith in you is that nine out of ten stick you. It is perfectly natural that a one-legged man should get hopping mad. An unpleasant truth is often branded as a fabrication. The charity that begins at home seldom goes on foreign missions. It all men worked there would not be any paupers. If men would deal as diplomatically with their wives as they do with their business associates there would be less family friction. Some people who really want to use kind words are not sufficiently careful in the kind of words they employ to express their meaning. Strange what a coolness a heated argument can bring about.

They are the latest novelty in the line, and those who collect postcards are delighted at the idea that before long they will be able to add to their albums a "carte aérienne," dropped from the clouds by one of their friends passing in an aeroplane. The new card bears a printed request that the person finding it on the ground will be so good as to take it to the nearest postoffice, whence it will be forwarded to its destination. A space is reserved for the mention of the altitude at which the message left sender's hands, and the situation, approximately, of the aeroplane at the time of sending. A photograph of the monoplane or biplane figures on the other side. It is said that a request has been made to the minister of posts and telegraphs that a special stamp should be created for these aerial missives, but so far I have not heard that M.

Thomas Wentworth Higginson, at the recent celebration in Boston of his eighty-seventh birthday, said: "Find old age to be an enjoyable period of life." That Colonel Higginson is happy in old age is witnessed by the kindly humor that illumines all his utterances. Thus, on his birthday, a beautiful young lady, an admirer of his books, ventured to bring him a bouquet of roses. Colonel Higginson asked her name, and then he said: "You live, I suppose, with your parents?" "No, sir," the lady replied. "My parents are in heaven. I live with my husband." "Your husband, too, is in heaven!" said Colonel Higginson, gallantly. WELSH CAVE DWELLERS. Cave dwellers still survive among us here and there and there is living at Llandudno an aged woman known colloquially as "Miriam's Ogo." She is ninety-three years of age and till quite lately lived in a cave on the side of the Great Orme. There she bore and brought up a family of 13 children, one of whom is a stalwart "bowman" of the Llandudno lifeboat. Miriam's husband, also a cave man, made himself a pair of wings out of feathers for the purpose of getting up and down the face of the cliff, but his clever efforts in aviation led at last to a serious accident Cardiff Western Mail.

J., has just invented an improvement on the phonograph which is said to have netted him a fortune. He is an expert mechanic and had been employed in a handkerchief mill in Passaic. Mr. Leech believed he could improve the tone of the phonograph, and set to work to making experiments. The Edison company heard of his efforts, and invited him to their works where he successfully demonstrated the feasibility of his new idea. The company was so impressed with the commercial value of Leech's invention that it is said they gave him $62,000 for it. He is very fortunate to make money out of his invention, for it is usually the rule that the man who invents does not get financial profit from his invention. Mr. Edison himself is a rare exception to this, for he has always been wise enough to obtain enough stock in the companies that manufactured his inventions to make him rich. The constant preaching to the farmers of the annual Tuskegee Negro conference that they should own homes and raise their foodstuff is beginning to produce excellent results. An example of this is S. P. Simmons of Luverne, Crenshaw county, Alabama who owns one hundred and eighty acres of land. He made this year one hundred and fifty bushels of potatoes, six hundred bushels of corn thirty-five hundred bundles of fodder and will kill fourteen hundred pounds of meat. He also raised thirty bushels of peanuts, thirty bushels of pean and sold fifty dollars' worth of peaches and apples. He has a garden full of turnips, ruta'agas, rape and collards. He has made ten dollars on vegetables since September. Mr. Simmons is looking ahead and is a great husiter. Reben Gaines, Sr., Hamilton, Iowa is not bothered very much by what is called the "Race Problem," so far as it concerns himself, for during the last ten years he has been quite forging ahead, until he has accumulated farm lands and city property, the value of which is from $50,000 to $60,000. Ten years ago, Mr. Gaines was digging coal in the Buxton mines, while his wife ran a restaurant near the scene of his labors. By economy, frugality and industry they were enabled to buy land, upon which they have had built a row of housees for business and residences three and a half blocks in length. In other words he has built up a community known as Gainstown. Notwithstanding their great personal wealth they have time to give to the betterment of the settlement; for both Mr. and Mrs. Gaines are active in fraternal; business and social life, besides giving largely to charity. Not every colored farmer believes in living all his life in a one-room log cabin, even if his fore parents were disposed to do so. Zachariah Simmons, who is not only a farmer but a preacher, living in Mt. Gilead, N. C. has recently built a house with twelve rooms and has, also, purchased a small truck farm of six acres. Mr. Simmons is fortunate in having a wife who is truly a help-mate and at the same time interested in everything that makes for the higher life of the community. Through their influence the colored people in that neighborhood, have within the past five or six years bought land and thereon built homes to the value of $16,000. His wife is the principal of the public school in Mt. Gilead, and Mr. Simmons is a graduate of Hampton Institute. The Alabama Business League is one of the youngest of the state organizations; but it is gradually taking its place among the first in rank, because of the increasing interest in the league, which is in evidence when the Negroes in business gathers from the different sections of the state on such occasions as this one. The president elected by the convention for the ensuing year is Mr. Victor H. Tulane of Montgomery, a successful merchant and cashier of the savings bank, opened during the last year in that city. The outgoing president was Prof. W. J. Echols of Birmingham, principal of one, of the city schools and a successful funeral director. Echols was elected as delegate to represent the State League at the twelfth annual session of the National Negro Business League to be held in Little Rock, Ark., next August. The other officers elected are: A. J. Wilborn, Tuskegee, first vice-president; A. M. Pope, Calera, secretary; Rev H. N. Newsome, Mobile, treasurer. The fourth annual session will takq place in the month of February, 1912, at Tuskegee Institute. "Back to the farm" appeals to some of our people quite effectivery. Thirty years ago, John W. Thomas landed in Hutchinson, Kan., almost penniless For a while he eked cut a meagre existence by doing odd jobs here and there in the city. Being unwilling however, to rely altogether upon such a precarious chance for support, he went to the country and engaged in farming for a livelihood. Today, Mr. Hohmas by hard work is the owner of two large farms and some valuable city property, the total value of which is said to be about $50,000. meyer ree ee . : : VEN gee! : i * ee aelnard ae eaten hence arene esi eI ST . : ae ba vipianacangenetnn cg: or agen BoM ene ee tae me ST i oo mentees seen ee ETT ET Se ey asian mom anfvretetl ot a 2 ena TB con pe AN , ey eS ‘gia PERO (CHRIST'S HUMAN SYMPATHIES--A SERMON mee rary ; as The Farmer's oy , —_—— . as OF INTEREST TO} b (pages ‘ : ; a 10 wio .were in}saken Mo?” An this freely on-| [i123 Hy Speed Be Home and Acres SOR |i vais i wrt hom ww belies tr wow ot mre wom | [egagsl| OUR WOMEN | S| ES, : ee oy YES | ona—Joha sill, 1 sympathy. “He was offered up be| | peseull os een Sa oS Ee | Though the Son of God, the equal fetuses He vile i” Exted don | See howe HER ne " “GORN'VERSUS OATS AS Honse| SILAGE "FOR sHEEP, , *] 9L His Father, It is tomer Christ throne, ‘of Gai, he volusialiy descer sia ia | ———_e FEEDA — a ST eee ene eet et vs ap. . a ee |) Many #2 dollar can be saved by| You rarely hear a woman complain The Ohio Experiment Station re- cently conducted some experiments to test the widespread belief that oats are Buperior to other grain as a feed for horses. Six mature grade Percheron geldings were fed on & tasal ration of clover and timothy hay, three receiving oats and taree ‘worn as a supplementary ration. Estimating corn to be worth 40 cents per Udshel, oats 30 cents por buahel, 4nd bay $3 per ton, at the time the experiments were made, it was found that the average cost of food per four of work was 3.3 cents for the corn-ted horses and 4.54 cents for those fed oats. Tho use of corn to the exclusion of other grain for a period of 48 Weeks was not found detrimental to the health of work horses and tuey endured as well as those recetving oats. When mixed (clover and timothy) hay was fed to mature geldings at general farm work, ear corn was, practically a8 efficient, pound for pound, as oats. A drop in weight of the cornfed horses coincident with the beginning of the use of shelled corn indicates that ear corn is to be preferred above shelled corn for work horses. EYE DISEASE. Dr, David Roberts, Wisconsin State Neterinarian, says: “Score eyes may be due to various causes such as injury or catarrhal in- fection and when due to the latter the entire head is apt to become af- fected. E | “Tt is advisable to keep animals thus ‘sflected in a dark stable during the day, allowing them to pasture at night, Tne eyes should be bathed several times dally in an antiseptic solution, after which time an eye lotion should be injected into the eye. Give animals access to medicated salt, CALVES ON SKIM MILK, Good calves can be giown economic ally on skim milk if the milk is sup- plemented wit shelled corn after the young calt has comparatively strong ‘organs for mastication and digestion, and i cannot only eat shelled corn with ease, but it so thoroughly di- gests it that none of the grains pass through whole. SOME DAIRY, HELPS. Not all of us have good dairy fur- nishinig. nor yet all with good, or fairly good collars, so sometimes it is necessary to thing up substitutes for use during the heated term. A milk room, with good roof and solid floor of some sort,—cement 1s the nicest—and With tree shade over it, with plenty of cold water handy to use is better for butter making -through the summer, than are the majority of cellars, besides being much easier kept clean. , Where there is a building with a good roof, near the well, one can clean it up and have a “near milk room.” A neighbor of ours cleaned up such a room, and as there was uo natural shade, she schemed and worked out a ceiling that helps {0 three ways; made the room cleaner, cooler and lighter. ‘The ceiling was made of some discarded bed ticks, made of “heavy muslin, but bleached white; they were sewed together until of the right dimensions, then the muslin was tacked across one end and side, then “tightly across ‘one end and side, then tightly stretched and tacked across the opposite end and side. With the few cents outlay for tacks, aclean celling was in the room. This help, with a milk trough, enables her to get about all the cream and butter from the milk, all through the sum: mer. It is nice yellow butter, too, 2 close second to the creamery. * A good way to keep butter nice without ice, is to have a keg, barrel or large jar, In which place coarse sand to the depth of six inches, now set in the butter jar, several sizes smaller than the sand receptacle, now “fl tightly all around the butter jar with the course sand. Cover the butter jar tightly but a coarse canvas or a plece of clean carpeting will be the thing to cover over the sand vessel. By keeping the sand soaked all the time with cold water, the butter will be solid and nice when wanted for the table, or for marketing, Some yet place the but. ter in a pall with a cover, and hang in the woll. This is old style, and cannot be tried with the driven wells, nor is it handy or very safe, if thehe are little folks around; it will keep the butter nicely, though. When the calf is about four weeks old offer it shelled corn, and new cora At you have it One thing is absolutely essential in making good butter through the sum: mer, and this {s absolute cleanliness from start to finish. Cream and but ter have a habit, and a tenacious due, of absorbing distance, so the thing is to keep the odors at @ very great distance. Ice is necessary but good butter may be made without it, by using much care, and more work.—H. E, in the Indiana Farmer. Cold is the greatest factor‘in the keeping of eggs. aa a Poultjw and dairy farming go Well tocether SILAGE FOR SHEEP.

USE OF GRAPES. Owing to the general decrease in eale of intoxicating drinks, grapes are not now so extensively, grown for wine, yet unfermented grape julce is becoming widely popular as a bever- age, and there 1s money in growing them for that purpose. For table use they may te used green for ples and sauce, and ripe for jelly and a wide variety of dishes. ¥ VARIETY OF FOOD NECESSARY.

He loved them nato the end—Jobn xill, 1. ‘Though the Son of God, the equal of His Father, it 1s remarkable how ‘afrongly' and how frequentiy Christ empnasized His humanity, perhaps even more strongly and moro fre- quently than He did the divine ele- ment. Not that He: slurred over’ His lvine nature, for He repeatedly as- verted and proved His divinity. ‘What I'mean is He generally spoke of Him self in'His human capacity and seem 0d.to take a pecullar delight in call- ing, Himself “the Son of Man,” ae it to show more clearly His humat kin. ship and. sympathies, With far great gr reagon than the poet of old could He exclaim: “I am a man; hence nothing ‘human 43 ‘alien or indifferent Yo me!" "We heer frequently of Christ as God; “let us view Him to- day from @ human standpoint—tet us treat of Christ the Man, In His very birth He began to mal- hest that deep human sympathy waich atill clung to Him when He drew His last breath on the cross. The world has known many teachers, many re: formers, nfany philosophers—but how few that have practiced what thoy preached! In word and professions there are numerous friends of the poor and the downtrodden, but how many of them are willing to make a great personal sacrifice for the objects of their compassion? it is easy enough to stand on a lofty pedestal, and preach philantaropy, but, it is quite ‘a different thing to come down to the level of the masses, to mingle freely with them, to share their condition, thelr lifs, thelr birdens and thelr misery. And that {s precisely what Christ did, He asks no ona to do more than He was willing to do—or even the thousandth part of what He actually did, He first exemplified in His own Iife the precepts and counsels waieh He gave to us. Even from 2 human standpoint He fs tho bravest and best of leaders, seeking no ex: emptions, taking no advantage, but ever bearing the brunt of the battle and choosing the most difficult post- tions for Himself.

He comes to us, not as the omnipotent God of Sinal, proclaiming His Jaw amid thunder and lighting, but as the gentle healer, the Good Shepherd, full of compassion for our human wants and woes. His miracles were all of ‘a beneficent nature, having for thelr object the relief of human misery. When Zaccheus, the Magdalen and the penltent thfer approached Him, He Aid not repulse them, Ike the hypocri- tical Pharisees, but recelved them with open arms and cordially welcomed them back to His Father's house. And when expiring on the tree of shame, in an agony of mental and physical pain such as the world has never witnessed before or since, al- most His very last words were a pray- er for His bratal murderers: “Father, forgive them; they know not what they do.” So besutiful and so touch- ing is this human side of Jesus that it has aroused the admiration of even the bitterest enemies of Christianity —ot men Ilke Renan, Strauss and Rousseau, of ratfonalists, athelsts and unbellevers of every description.

There is a practical conclusion to be drawn from all tals and it may be expressed in every few words. In fact, no words at all are needed; and inference {s obvious, Christ 1s not a vague, shadowy, faraway Being; He fs close to us; He is one of us; He 4s our brother.

Six mature grade Percheron geldings were fed on & rasal ration of clover and timothy hay, three receiving oats and taree corn as a supplementary ration. ‘Estimating corn to be worth 40 cents per bushel, oats 30 cents per bushel, and hay $8 per ton, at the time the cxperiments were made, it was found that the average cost of food per four of work was 33 cents for the corn-fed horses and 4.54 cents for those fed oats. The use of corn to the exclusion of other grain for a period of 48 weeks was not found detrimental to the health of work horses and they endured as well as those recelving oats, When mixed (clover and timothy) hay was fed to mature geldings at general farm work, ear corn was practically as efficient, pound for pound, as oats. A drop in weight of the corn fed horses coincident with tae beginning of the use of shelled corn indicates that ear corn is to be preferred above shelled corn for work horses. EYE DISEASE. Dr, Davld Roberts, Wisconsin State Veterinarlan, says: * “Score eyes may be due to ‘various cauges such as injury or catarrhal in: fection and wien due to the latter the entire head is apt to become af fected. “It is advisable to keep animals thus affected fn a dark stable during the ay, allowing thei to pasture at night. Tae eyes should be bathed several times daily in an antiseptic solution, after which time an eye lotion should be injected into the eye. Give animals access to medicated salt. CALVES ON SKIM MILK, Good calves can be grown economlc- ally on skim milk if the milk is sup- plemented wit shelled corn after the young calf has comparatively strong ‘organs for mastication and digestion, and ‘it cannot only eat shelled corn with ease, but it so thoroughly di- gests it that none of the grains pass througt’ whole. SOME DAIRY HELPS. Not all of us have good dairy fur- nishitg, nor yet all with good, or fairly good collars, so sometimes it is necessary to thing up substitutes for use during the heated term. ‘A milk room, with good roof and ‘solid floor of some sort—cement 1s the nicest—and with tree shade over it, with plenty of cold water handy to use is better for butter making through the summer, than are the majority of cellars, besides being much easier kept clean. oe Where there is a building with a ‘good roof, near the well, one can clean it up and have a “near milk room.” A neighbor of ours cleaned up such a room, and 2s there was no natural shade, she schemed and yond ‘out a ceiling that helps in three ways; made the room cleaner, cooler and lighter. ‘The ceiling was made of some discarded bed ticks, made of “heavy muslin, but bleached white; they were sewed together until of the right dimensions, then the muslin was tacked across ony end and side, then tightly across one end and side, then tightly stretcaed and tacked across the opposite end and side. With the few cents outlay for tacks, a clean celling was in the room. This help, with a milk trough, enables her to get about all the cream and butter from the milk, all through the sum. mer. It is nice yellow butter, too, a close second to the creamery. A good way to keep butter nice without ice, is to have a keg, barrel or large jar, In which place coarse sand to the depth of six inches, now set in the butter jar, several sizes smaller than the sand receptacle, now fill tightly all around the butter jar with the course sand. Cover the butter jar tightly but a coarse canvas or a plece of clean carpeting will be the thing to cover over the sand vessel. By keeping the sand soaked all the time with cold water, the butter will be solid and nice when wanted for the table, or for marketing. Some yet place the but: ter In a pail with a cover, and bang {n the well, This Is old style, and cannot be tried with the driven wells, nor fs it handy or very safo, if thehe are little folks around; it will keep the butter nicely, though, ‘When the calf is about four weeks old offer it shelled corn, and new corn it you have it.

Silage fs Yooked upon with great favor among sheep men, says Profes- sor‘ Wool in bis book, on silage. Sheep do well on it, and sllagé-fed ewes drop tneir lambs in the’ spring without trouble, the lambs being strong and’ vigorous. Silage contain- ing a good deal of corn is not well adopted for breeding stock, aa if 18 too fattening; for fattening’ stock, on the other hand, much corn in tae sil age Is an advantage. Sheep may be fed a couple: of pounds of silage s day and not to exceed five oy. siz pounds pér head, Professor Cook rer Ports as follows {n ‘regard to the value of silage for sheep: “I have fed sil ago lberally to sheep for three win ters and am remarkably pleasdd with the results. I make ensilage half the daily ration, the other half belng corn stalks or timothy hay, with bran o1 oats. The sheep do exceedingly wel: Formerly I was troubled to ralso lambs ‘from grade Merino ewes. Of late this trouble has almost ceased. Last spring I hardly lost = lamb.

Not that He slurred over His ‘divine nature, for He repeatedly as: verted and proved His divinity.

With reason could the apostle cry out “We have not a high priest who can- not compessionate our infirmities!” In the New Dispensation the rod ie kept In the background; its keynote {s not fear, but love. In the words of St. Paul, “We have not recelved the spirit of bondage again in fear, but the spirit of adoption of sons,” Christ it was who first taught us to call God our Father, and wao, by taking on Himself our common humanity, made us, in deed and in truth, the childrea of God and His own brethren. He comes to us, not’ as the omnipotent God of Sinat, proclaiming His law amid thunder and lighting, but as the sentle heater, the Good Shepherd, full of compassion for our human wante land woes. His miracles were all of a beneficent nature, having for their object the relief of human misery.

And for this there hasbeen a good reason. In the first place our peo- ple have not become organized in- to literary and musical clubs of sufficient strength to warrant them bringing to our city at stated in- tervals during the year as many of our celebrated artists as we should like to hear, and in the second place there are no individuals among us who can afford to stand the responsibility of as much ex- pense as is entailed in bringing a singer or reader of note into our midst at will. But we here are not alone in this predicament for there are other southern cities that are afforded no more opportunties of. hearing the stars of the race than we are. A suggestion there- fore that might prove of some as- sistance in relieving this situation and at the same time lend a little encouragement to the literary and musical tastes of the people of this city may be found in the corp- oration of the leaders of the var- ious choral and literary societies of cities of Georgia in forming themselves into a correspondence society working for the best inter- est of the citizens of their respec- tive cities. In this way the ser- vices of the best performers we have‘coukt be secured at a reason- able cost and the dates fixed not at the discretion of the artists but to please the yarious societies. -With the various leaders thus working together they could settle upon a mionth in which some certain entertainer might appear in the various cities represented by the organizations and at a very reasonable price at that. An organization thus form- ed would be a protection to our ‘artists who so often attempt to tour the south but on the account of the long jumps in_ betiveen towns find such a trip impractic- able. It would also insure us against fakirs by killing the per- formances of that class of Negro artists that are not prepared to give the people their money worth, But most of all it would, by giving the people in the various towns con- certs of a high and elevating chur- acter, stimulatea wholesome in- terest in the best entertainers that ‘we possess and give our boys and girls something elevating to listen to and a broader knowledge of the literary and musical attainments of our best and most talented artists. ‘There area score or more of de- serving colored artists who would be pleased to perform in the va- rious cities of the south if they could but get the necessary assur- ance of a certain number of book- ings and there is no better place for a movement like this to be put on feot than right here by Savan- nah Choral Club. * ‘Tag and Rally Day for Charity Hospital. nd the Charity Hospital feat andmany and the Charity Hospital staff andman- agement have inaugurated a rally and tag day for that institution. The neces. sity for a larger and better building is the outcome of the natural growth and usefulness, ;making the demands. for more conveniences and better facilities immediately pressing. In view of these conditions at a recent joint meeting o! the Interdenominational Ministers Union and the Charity Hospital staff, held at the First Congrgeational Church they each pledged to support and co- operate in this movement. The plans areas Follows > The fifth Sunday in April 1911, will be a general publicity andrally day. The first of May Monday 1911 will be Charity Hospital “Tag day” It is purposed to have twenty thousand tags representing 10 cents each. They will be distributed in lots as required by the different churches. The pastor in each case will be custodian of the tags, he in turn distributes them among the people of his congregation to the best advantage to be sold for thesum of 10 cents éch.”- It is hoped that the en- tire 20000 tagsuwill be disposed of. All ‘the Sunday schaol children are earnest- ly requested.to help. Every child and grown up colored person ought to take ‘or dispose of a tag on this day. Returns ‘ofthe results of the tag day canvass will be made to each minister the fol- lowing day, May 2nd, and they in turn ‘will report to a joint committee appoint- ed to represent both the ministers and Charity ospital, Three prizes offered as follows: The lady disposing of the highest number of fags over two hun- dred on tag day will be given a hand- some gold watch, the second will re- ceive a beautiful gold bracelet and the third highest contestant will recieve avaluable gold ring. It was thought feedito offer prizes in order to stimu. fea healthful rivalry among all the churches and Sunday Schools.

It was.a mostereditable show. ing of head gear and was witnessed by hundreds of ladies, both white and col- ored who proclaimed it one of the most varied and uptodate exhibitions ever seen in Savannah, On all sides there was nothing but praise and the ladies who are conducting this store are meet- ing with untold success because of the fact that they have demonstrated to the public that theirs is a first-class estab ishment in every sense of the word, carrying as new and as wifty a stock of hats as any store in the city. ‘The good treatment which they accord their pa- trons is all that can be desired and next to their up-todate line of goods isthe boast of the management. This estab- lishment is now a fixture in Savannah and a deserving one at that for women, irrespective of color are all treated with the greatest of respect and consi: eration and can secure from them any- thing known to the millinery world. IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE. Interesting Services in The Churches of the City. Second Baptist Church. '_ The work. of renovating the Second Baptist Church is rapidly reaching com pletion and in about a little over s week's time everything will probably be in readiness for the special ex ercises which will begin on the second Sunday. At these exercises the church will be favored by a yisit from many of the noted News divines’and it is intended to make this affair the be- ginning of anew and shining era for this church. Everybody is working in cooperation for the best interests of the church and both pastor and members are leaving no stones unturned to make the Second Church one of the potent powers for good in Savannah, Rev. eid has already secure the good_ will ‘and support of every member of his congregation and its only a matter of time now before the pastor with his modern and highly intelligent methods will be leading: the church into its rightful position in the religious life of Savannah. All friends are requested to lake a peep at the numerous reno- vations which have been made on the old structure and are also requested to listen to Dr. Reid’s able sermons, ' \First Congregational Church. : One of the most interesting and suc: cessful series of revival meetings ever held by the First Congregational Chureh ended last Wedesday night. There were many converts and the meetings have ee very instrumental in enlivening the spisiceal atmosphere of the church. Rey. Flyan whom we had the. pleasure ‘of securing as conductor of these ser- vices was very successful and while the church had previously become slightly acquainted with him yet we did not get the opportunity of knowing him as inti mately as on this occasion. His visit upon this occasion shail long be re membered as a memorable one and we are to be congratulated upon having ‘had the opportunity of having such 2 .worthy gentleman to lead our revival. Rey. Cash is well pleased with the re. sult of the work and feels fully repaid for his efforts in getting Rev. Flynn to ‘come to us for special services at whict forty-five were converted.

SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1911 Savannahians on the whole are a people who enjoy good wholesome entertainment of every kind but we've been rather unfortunate in not having in our midst, as often as we would like, the best entertainers which our race affords. And for this there has been a good reason. In the first place our people have not become organized into literary and musical clubs of sufficient strength to warrant them bringing to our city at stated intervals during the year as many of our celebrated artists as we should like to hear, and in the second place there are no individuals among us who can afford to stand the responsibility of as much expense as is entailed in bringing a singer or reader of note into our midst at will. But we here are not alone in this predicament for there are other southern cities that are afforded no more opportunities of hearing the stars of the race than we are. A suggestion therefore that might prove of some assistance in relieving this situation and at the same time lend a little encouragement to the literary and musical tastes of the people of this city may be found in the corporation of the leaders of the various choral and literary societies of cities of Georgia in forming themselves into a correspondence society working for the best interest of the citizens of their respective cities. In this way the services of the best performers we have could be secured at a reasonable cost and the dates fixed not at the discretion of the artists but to please the various societies. With the various leaders thus working together they could settle upon a month in which some certain entertainer might appear in the various cities represented by the organizations and at a very reasonable price at that. An organization thus formed would be a protection to our artists who so often attempt to tour the south but on the account of the long jumps in between towns find such a trip impracticable. It would also insure us against fakirs by killing the performances of that class of Negro artists that are not prepared to give the people their money worth. But most of all it would, by giving the people in the various towns concerts of a high and elevating character, stimulate a wholesome interest in the best entertainers that we possess and give our boys and girls something elevating to listen to and a broader knowledge of the literary and musical attainments of our best and most talented artists. There are a score or more of deserving colored artists who would be pleased to perform in the various cities of the south if they could but get the necessary assurance of a certain number of bookings and there is no better place for a movement like this to be put on foot than right here by Savannah Choral Club. Tag and Rally Day for Charity Hospital. In co-operation the clergy of the city and the Charity Hospital staff and management have inaugurated a rally and tag day for that institution. The necessity for a larger and better building is the outcome of the natural growth and usefulness, making the demands for more conveniences and better facilities immediately prising. In view of these conditions at a recent joint meeting of the Interdenominational Ministers Union and the Charity Hospital staff, held at the First Congregational Church they each pledged to support and cooperate in this movement. The plans are as follows: The fifth Sunday in April 1911, will be a general publicity and rally day. The first of May Monday 1911 will be Charity Hospital "Tag day". It is purposeed to have twenty thousand tags representing 10 cents each. They will be distributed in lots as required by the different churches. The pastor in each case will be custodian of the tags, he in turn distributes them among the people of his congregation to the best advantage to be sold for the sum of 10 cents each. It is hoped that the entire 20000 tags will be disposed of. All the Sunday school children are earnestly requested to help. Every child and grown up colored person ought to take or dispose of a tag on this day. Returns of the results of the tag day canvass will be made to each minister the following day, May 2nd, and they in turn will report to a joint committee appointed to represent both the ministers and Charity Hospital. Three prizes offered as follows: The lady disposing of the highest number of tags over two hundred on tag day will be given a handsome gold watch, the second will receive a beautiful gold bracelet and the third highest contestant will receive a valuable gold ring. It was thought good to offer prizes in order to stimulate a healthful rivalry among all the churches and Sunday Schools. In next week's issue of The Tribune a notice of information will be seen giving directions as to where the prizes may be seen on display. Watch The Tribune. Men's Sunday Club. Men's Sunday Club. At the club tomorrow an unusually interesting program will be rendered. Dr. R. D. Stinson, President of the Atlanta Normal and Industrial Institute will deliver the principal address. Good music. Come. The meeting begins promptly at 5 p. m. The New Library Building. The 5th, Sunday in April has been set apart as Library day by all the colored churches in the city. On this date a collection for the Colored Public Library fund will be taken. Let each member of every church in the city, put aside 10 cents for this purpose and give it on the 5th Sunday through his church as a record of the church and the amount from each church will go into the corner stone of the beautiful new Library building. Ten cents is what is asked from each church member in the city. Beautiful Display of Spring Goods. On last Monday Green and Allen, of our up-to-date millinery store No. 464 West Broad street held their spring opening. It was a mostcreditable showing of head gear and was witnessed by hundreds of ladies, both white and colored who proclaimed it one of the most varied and up-to-date exhibitions ever seen in Savannah. On all sides there was nothing but praise and the ladies who are conducting this store are meeting with untold success because of the fact that they have demonstrated to the public that theirs is a first-class establishment in every sense of the word, carrying as new and as witty a stock of hats as any store in the city. The good treatment which they accord their patrons is all that can be desired and next to their up-to-date line of goods is the boast of the management. This establishment is now a fixture in Savannah and a deserving one at that for women, irrespective of color are all treated with the greatest of respect and consideration and can secure from them anything known to the millinery world. IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE. Interesting Services In The Churches of the City. Second Baptist Church. The work of renovating the Second Baptist Church is rapidly reaching completion and in about a little over a week's time everything will probably be in readiness for the special exercises which will begin on the second Sunday. At these exercises the church will be favored by a visit from many of the noted Negro divines and it is intended to make this affair the beginning of a new and shining era for this church. Everybody is working in cooperation for the best interests of the church and both pastor and members are leaving no stones unturned to make the Second Church one of the potent powers for good in Savannah. Rev. Reid has already secure the good will and support of every member of his congregation and its only a matter of time now before the pastor with his modern and highly intelligent methods will be leading the church into its rightful position in the religious life of Savannah. All friends are requested to take a peep at the numerous renovations which have been made on the old structure and are also requested to listen to Dr. Reid's able sermons. First Congregational Church. One of the most interesting and successful series of revival meetings ever held by the First Congregational Church ended last Wednesday night. There were many converts and the meetings have been very instrumental in enlivening the spiritual atmosphere of the church. Rev. Flynn whom we had the pleasure of securing as conductor of these services was very successful and while the church had previously become slightly acquainted with him yet we did not get the opportunity of knowing him as intimately as on this occasion. His visit upon this occasion shall long be remembered as a memorable one and we are to be congratulated upon having had the opportunity of having such a worthy gentleman to lead our revival. Rev. Cash is well pleased with the result of the work and feels fully repaid for his efforts in getting Rev. Flynn to come to us for special services at which forty-five were converted. Now that the revival meetings are all over and we are again settled down to the regular routine work let us not lose the spirit of this grand occasion quit let us carry it throughout our year's work and allow it to permeate our every endeavor and accomplishment. St. Benedict's Church. Gaston and East Broad streets. Sunday April 2, Passion Sunday. First mass at 7 a.m., at which all the children who have made their first communion will receive their Easter communion in a body. Second mass at 8 a.m., high mass and services at 10:30 a.m. Sunday school at 4 p.m., evening devotions at 8 p.m. Father Herrbrecht will preach in the morning on the gospel of the day, "The Jews try to stone the Saviour."

After high mass there will be the monthly meeting of the Catholic Boys' Club. The Lenten services continue to be faithfully attended. Last Wednesday, Father Obrecht gave an instructive sermon on "Prayer." On Friday evening, we had the beautiful devotion of the Stations of the Cross. Next Wednesday, instead of the regular lenten service, the question box will be answered. All the questions which have been dropped in the box since Christmas will be explained by Father Dahlent in a clear manner; it will be interesting for Catholics and-Catholics alike. You may drop any question in the little box next Sunday.

Phone 2829 WEST BROAD & GWINNETT STS John Simmons, who has suffered from a serious attack of pneumonia, is recovering slowly. St. Phillips Dots. St. Philips Dots. On account of the storm and disagreeable weather on last Sunday the attendance at each service was very small. Rev. Singleton delivered an interesting and important sermon to the parents and guardians of children, especially to those that had children that were converted in the late revival at St. Philip. We are too sorry that more of the parents were not out to hear this important sermon his text was Gen. 21:7 subject "A child prayer." This beautiful subject was portrayed in such a manner that no one present could have failed to grasp and understand the worth of prayer. Our revival services came to a close on Friday night after two weeks successful meetings, one hundred and seven converts were the fruits of our efforts. Bros. W. W. D. Armstrong and Thos. W. Reed are still very sick at their homes. Bro. A. W. White over a year's illness and confined to his bed for over twelve weeks died on Tuesday morning. Bro. White had been a member of St. Philips for more than twelve years and was leader of class No. 2. He was also a trustee and at one time, connected with the Sunday school and Allen League. Bro. White was always a faithful member in all the duties of the church, he 'died triumphantly in Christ and has gone to receive his reward Bro. White was buried from St. Philips on Thursday afternoon, at 3 o'clock. A large course of friends attended the funeral, also the K. of P., Odd-Fellows and the Carpenters Union attended in a body. We had a glorious love feast meeting last night the new converts were spiritually alive and every member present enjoyed the meeting. Tuesday night was another record breaker in class meeting attendance and the collection was $24.75. The following services will be held to-morrow; prayer meeting at 5 a. m., preaching, and baptism of children and adults also the right hand of fellowship given at 11 a. m., Sunday school at 2:45 p.

You can now have your seats reserved and avoid getting in the push. The members of the Pekin Orchestra deserve much credit. No matter how slim the audience or how disappointing the bill the music is always entertaining and very often elicits a round of applause from the patrons present. That classy little Soubrette, Miss Hester Kenton, scores another big hit this week with her "Heavenly Rag." Miss Kenton has made many friends while here who do not only regret that she will close this week but hope that she will meet with the same success around the circuit that she has met here. Manager Styles is to be congratulated for putting on such an excellent act as the "Pee-Wees." Mr. Pee-Wee is in a class by himself. As a male impersonator there may be others, but you will certainly regret it if you fail to see Mrs. "Pee-Wee." The team works well and seems to be tireless. They alone are worth the price of admission. In Memoriam. In sad but loving memory of my dear cousin, sister and aunt, 'SARAH LOGAN CLARK, who departed this life April 1st, 1910.

When ever I hear the first wild note Of the meadow lark and the hermit thrush. Then its O! for the hills, the dawn and the dew. The breath of the fields and the silent lake; And watching the wings of light burst through The broken and upturned earth to the air, By a billion thrusting blades of Spring. Sends out from the sod and from everywhere, Its pungent aromas over everything. It is then while the earth still nesties in sleep. And the robes of light are scarce. unfurled, You can almost feel in its mighty sweep, The onward rush and roll of the world. In the drawing from the sky night's curtains of black. And the tense of hearts the silence brings, O'er the lapse of time, the soul leaps back. A face once more with primordial things. What say you reader? Could that desire for the open country with all its power to scothe our troubled rest less spirits, which we all feel in the first warm welcome days of spring, be more beautifully or feelingly portrayed? Take the fourth verse, to us the most expressive, how forcibly it recalls the feeling of awe which comes into our hearts at dawn when nature seems rousing from her slumbers, freshened and strengthened for another day's battle. "The onward roll and rush of the world!" Yes! and not only of it are we conscious, but equally of God's goodness in giving us the chance power to appreciate it all. The other poem is by Professor James E. Simpson; head of the language department, Central High School. From time to time, poems from the pen of this gentleman, have appeared in the columns of the white papers and the one which we here produce was rated the best thing the Louisville Times received on the subject of "Home Coming Week." It is filled with the home love of the typical Kentuckian and a model of technical skill and poetical ability aside from its other virtues, it is especially illustrative of the keen and sympathetic interest the intelligent Negro feels in the general life of the community. Home to us is the dearest, best-loved spot in all" this grain of sand, we call the world and Kentucky! Well, there may be other places, but we can't see 'em. When the roses are a-blooming, and the fields of ripened grain, But awalt the reapers, tarmers' who have labored not in vain; When the drowsy bees go humming, thru the perfume-laden air, Gravely sipping golden nectar, from the flowers rich and rare; When all nature is rejoicing, neath the June skies fair and bright And our hearts'attuned to nature, are just thrilling with delight, Then, wherever we have wandered, under Heaven's spacious dome. We are, coming, we are coming, to our Old Kentucky Home. From the land of Montezuma, where the prickly cactus grows, From beyond the Alleghenies, from beyond the Rockles old, Where America's Pastolus, glided Indians and Their Dead Indians and Their Dead truding above the ground, he ties one end of a string and leads the other end in the direction of the Grand Canon. At the end of four days it is believed the soul leaves the body, climbs the pole, and with the string to guide it goes to its eternal home in the canon. The Navajos, on the contrary, are very superstitious about handling an Was Proud Of The Hopi Indian believes that the souls of all deceased adults go to the Grand Canon. When a man dies a grave is dug. The nearest relative of the deceased carries the body to the grave, places it in a sitting posture facing the Grand Canon, erects a long pole between the legs, locks the dead man's fingers around it and fills the trudging above the ground, he ties one end of a string and leads the other end in the direction of the Grand Canon. At the end of four days it is believed the soul leaves the body, climbs the pole, and with the string to guide it goes to its eternal home in the Canon. The Navajos, on the contrary, are man's fingers around it and fills the The Navajos, on the contrary, are grave. To the top of the pole, pro-very superstitious about handling What the Old Man Was Proud Of What the Old Man Was Proud Of was an old man with a peculiar, hopeful expression on his face. He was asked why he was, so cheerful, and he replied: "I guess you'll see my name on that board before long." He pointed to the bulletin of deaths. His reply upset the caller for a moment, but soon another question was asked: "Well, why should that make you particularly cheerful? As to Our Sense of Humor As to Our Sense of Humor So, too, a man in Lawrenceburg, Ind, laughed for 12 hours over the idea of trading a mule for a shavell-tall horse. A sense of humor is often a safety valve to human beings. Life would be a dull thing without it, but its manifestations are beyond estimation. A recent writer speaks of the frequency with which it spoils the most pathetic scenes at the theater; of how In the Outlook is an article from the pen of Herman Rosenthal, chief of the Slavonic Department in the N.Y. public library entitled "The Martyrdom of the Russian Jew." Every American ought to read the article, as it contains, in vivid portrayal, the story of the baneful effects of race hatred and proscription on a helpless people. To us the Jews have always seemed a great people. Law-abiding energetic, industrious, thrifty, every country in which they have been given the right to live unhampered by prejudice and free to grow and develop to their fullest possibilities, has been blessed in numbering them among its population. The Jews are a peace-loving people and therefore essentially producers. In law, in science, in literature, in the arts, in every sphere of activity, where brain-power and skill is at a premium, the Jew has made good. It seems strange and country, listed as civilized, should deliberately pursue a policy of repression, persecution and murder against such a people. Russia is the disgrace of the Modern world—her people are barbarians who have never yet given convincing proof of their right to rank with the foremost people of the earth. The Russian government reflects in its methods the character of the Russian people—insincere, tricky, cunning cruel, cowardly—thinking always of the end, of the means, autocratic, intolerant and bigoted, it would be well if the great powers of the world should ally, to partition off among themselves, the territory of the vast empire and thus blot it from the earth. The success of the Jewish race ought to be an inspiration to every downtrodden people in the world. Centuries of oppression have neither blunted the edge of their intellect, nor dimmed the lustre of their hopes. At the head of the labor world stands a Jew, "Karl Marr"; at the head of the world of capital, stands a Jew—"Baron Rothschild." The Jew has been cursed in every language known to the tongues of men—he has seen the rise and fall of all the great empires of the past—has witnessed the glory of the Babylonians—has looked in admiration, on the grandeur of Egyptian civilization—has helped to make possible the classic triumphs of ancient Hellas—has seen the holy strong arm of the conquering Roman city ravaged and pillaged—yet all of these have passed into the allent halls of death, while the Jew, with us yet, has strewn flowers on all their graves. Since Paul Lawrence Dunbar passed to the great beyond, there has been no truly great Negro poet seemingly worthy to wear his toga. "His sceptre was the bow of Ulysses not to be drawn by a weaker hand." It may he, however, that somewhere unheralded and unsung, there lives some genius—awaiting only opportunity to make himself known, who may with propriety wear the fallen wreath of the dead daureate. We believe it was Gray who once wrote that "many a flower is born to blush unseen and waste its sweetness in the desert air." For us this truth was emphasized the other day, when in conversation with some friends, we were given several samples of the poets art which, in our humble opinion, are truly commendable. The first is from the pen of George McCelland, doubtless known to many of our readers, Professor in Latin in Central High School, Louisville, recently appointed, to a position in the high school at Washington, D. C. The Professor sat down and dashed off the beautiful little poem with such apparent ease that we could not help but marvel, here it is: There comes to my heart from regions remote, A wild desire for the hedge and the Cheerful Because He Will Have a "Real Funeral" When He Is Buried. "All is vanity, saith the preacher." This sentiment certainly was confirmed at the Kings county almshouse the other day. Standing near the door of a large room where the innates congregate and have lively discussions on almost every conceivable subject, Life Would Be Dull Without It, But Its Manifestations Are Beyond Estimation. A dignified, retired judge in the east was brought near to death laterly through a fit of laughter caused by a comparison of a woman in a hobble skirt to a giraffe with its feet tied together. The possessor of a keen sense of humor would hardly find this convulsing, but it nearly killed the judge --- From the valley, plain or upland, where our household altars stand. And the city, town or hamlet, where we dwell a happy band; As they gathered for the triumpa, in the elder days of Rome, We are coming, we are coming to our old Kentucky home. To Kentucky fair and lovely, where our eyes first saw the light, Where we learned in youth the lessons, justice, mercy, truth and right. And our fathers sagely taught us, as they led us by the hand, That divided we would perish, that united we would stand; Longing for those scenes or childhood, eager for that land so bright. Where the flames of love are burning, on the hearthstones day and night. From our birthplace, naught shall keep us, through the sunshine, mist or gloom. We are coming, we are coming, to our old Kentucky noone. "The average white man in the United States," says Booker T. Washington, in the World's Work, "has the idea that the average Negro spends most of his time bemoaning the fact that he is not a white man, or in trying to devise some way by which he will be permitted to mingle, in a purely social way, with which people. This is far from the truth. "In my intercourse with all classes of the Negro, north and south, it is a rare occurrence when the matter of getting away from the race, or of social intermingling with the white people, is so much as mentioned. It is especially true that intelligent Negroes find a satisfaction in social intercourse among themselves that is rarely known or understood by any one outside of the Negro race. In their family life, in the secret societies and churches, as well as other organizations, toques invariably relate to some enterprise for the betterment of the race." Canadians In This Country. In the United States, according to the census, are 819,264 Canadians ten years of age and over. Forty per cent. of these are engaged in manufacturing, 30 per cent. In personal service, between 17 and 18 per cent. in trade and transportation, about the same percentage in agriculture, and somewhat over 4 per cent. in professions. The percentage in the professions is approximately the same as that of the native born white population in the United States. The large numbers, as compared with the number left behind following the same occupations throw light on conditions in Canada—for example, the number of expauulated Canadian teachers and college professors, lawyers and clergymen. Iron Works in Sweden. Extensive projects for the establishment of iron works on the west coast of Sweden are now under consideration, but it is alleged that such works, in order to be successful, must be in a position to manufacture cheaply and compete with other produce in the market of the world. This, it is admitted, is of more importance to the new industry than either an export duty on iron or heavy customs duties on foreign produce introduced into Sweden. Relic Hunters Busy. The telephone pole from which the detective was hung at Neward, Ohio, is guarded from the ravages of relic hunters, but before the city officials encased it in sheet iron, the pole had been hacked half through by those who sought mementoes of the night's grewe some work. dead bodies. They believe that the evil spirit that kills the person hovers around the hogan, as they call their lodge, awaiting other victims, and a hogan in which a death occurs is never occupied again. Navajo hogans are always built with the entrance facing the east. When a death occurs in one of them an opening is invariably made in the north side. Therefore, when one sees a hogan with the north side knocked out he may be certain some one has died in it. Do you think you'll be so much better off in the next world?" "No, it isn't that," was his rejoinder. He moved a little closer to his questioner and said: "I'll show these fellows," and with a sweep of his hand he indicated all the inmates. "I'll show these fellows who have rich relatives calling on 'em here. I haven't got any relations, but I have got a paid-up insurance policy, and when I'm buried they'll see a real funeral, I'll show 'em. They'll think I was somebody once."—New York Press. that which should incite pity is mis taken by the thoughtless for a subject of mirth. The criticism is deserved, but it is to be doubted if it will correct a misplaced sense of humor, which seems to be inherent in a considerable portion of the human race. There is no accounting for taste even in matters of this sort, and there is no way to prevent grave and reverend jurists or mule traders from becoming victims of an undeveloped or a too greatly developed sense of humor. PRESIDENT TAFT SPEAKS TO NEGROES OF ATLANTA PRESIDENT OF THE U. S. SAYS THINGS ARE LOOKING BETTER FOR THE RACE. LAUDS VOCATIONAL TRAINING Atlanta.—[Special]—President William Howard Taft, speaking before the tae Central Avenue M. E. church, colored, expressed the sentiment that the salvation of the colored race lies in vocational training, especially along agricultural lines. President Taft was preceded to the platform by Capitain Archie Butt and accompanied by Postmaster Hugh McKee, Collector Henry S. Johnson and others. After the rendition of "Down by the River" by the choir and "America." by the entire audience J. A. Rush pastor of the church, introduced President Taft. "In presenting the president," said Doctor Rush, "I do not present the president of the north, nor of the south, nor of the rich, nor of the poor, but of the entire country. I take pleasure in presenting to you the greatest ruler in the world, William Howard Taft, president of the United States." The president's speech follows, in part: "I am very much complimented to have you come here in such numbers to greet me. I am glad to be here. I never lose an opportunity to express my intense interest in the welfare of the colored citizens of the United States. "I know the hard road you have had to travel and I know the hard road that lies before you, but I believe in my heart that things are looking brighter for you from year to year. "You do not ask alms, you do not ask the government for help, you do not ask anything more than other people. All you ask is an opportunity, and that I believe all good men, north or south, are most anxious that you should have." "I have heard it said that your lot in the south is a hard one. I do not believe it. You are now in the south and you look reasonably happy. I have frequently heard my good friend, Dr. C. T. Walker, pastor of the Augusta Methodist church, tell of the friendly relations existing between the whites of that city and the members of his congregation. "One of the tendencies of public speakers is to tell the public what they ought to do; it is so much easier to tell it than to do it. You have here in the south a splendid soil which gives a material response to labor, intelligently, applied. The members of your race have shown that they fully realize the great wealth stored away in it, and are beginning to understand the methods of getting this wealth out. "Statistics tell of the splendid $1. 000,000,000 cotton crop and show that you have helped to raise it, and have done your full share in delivering it across the ocean." "If you are going to saye enough to make a home you have Isid the foundations of happiness for yourselves, your wives and your children. If you make yourselves useful in the community, they are bound to value you, because they can't help it. It is only when you are shiftless and waste your time in saloons that you cease to be useful. "The secret of the solution of the problem of the south is education, primary and industrial." (Voice: "We don't get it.") "You say you don't get it. You must realize that it takes time and money to perfect systems of education. A good government is an expensive government. It must have money to educate the children and it must have time in which to arrange the schools. It is one thing to have statistics and another thing to have schools, properly supervised and with a corps of efficient teachers. "I am a trustee of Hampton institute and one of the trustees of the deanes fund, devoted to rural colored schools in the south. Education is steadily improving throughout the country. Conventions are taking the matter up and public opinion has been aroused. The whites of the south know that the education of the black is as essential as the education of the white. Those who have examined statistics must be blind if they do not have sympathy for a race which, in slavery forty years ago, now number over 50 per cent of its members in the literate class. And now, friends, goodby and God bless you." THE PHILOSOPHES. False pride has deprived many a man of an honest day's work. He who profits by the experiences of his fellows is the experienced man. The workman who watches the clock is the one who is watched by the boss. It is a husband's duty to praise his wife's cooking, even if it is carrying him to an early grave. ? A. W. Holmes.

News of the Nation's Capital New Appointees to Soon Move to Washington—Vernon Undecided As to Future. Washington.—(Special.)—J. C. Napier is in Washington to take charge of the office of the register of the treasury after being banqueted in Nashville and along the route to this city. He will occupy with his family the Langston residence ad joining the Howard University campus. Mr. Lewis will come down per manently from Boston about the same time, but will not remove his family from Boston at the present. Hon. W. T. Vernon, the retiring register, has not as yet determined on the course which he will pursue after leaving the Thesaury. While he will engage in business if the proper opportunity offers, he will more probably go on the lecture platform for a time sontinning his residence at Washington in preference to returning to Kansas. Eldredge Hawkins, a young colored man of Washington, recently received an appointment at Monrovia, Liberia, as assistant secretary of the legation there. He is a graduate of the Business High school of this city and his appointment was greatly assisted by the faculty of that institution. He will be the second graduate of this institution at the Liberian legation. Lieutenant Benjamin Oliver Davis being the other, Mr. Hawkins will receive a $1,000 salary. Prof. R. R. Wright of College, Ga. is expected at Washington within a few weeks in interest of some form of semi-centennial celebration of the enancipation of Negro slaves in 1683.

SIXTEENTH. NEGRO "COLORED". According to, Kentucky Court Term Colored Applies to Any one With Negro Blood. Frankfort, Ky.—(Special.)—That the term "colored" includes all persons "wholly of Negro blood or having any appreciable admixture thereof," was the way in which the court of appeals of Kentucky construed the state school down here. Sult was brought by one Troy Mullins against the school trustees of a district in Pike county, demanding the admittance of some children of whom he acted as guardian. The Pike county court denied the children admittance to the school holding that they were "colored," being of one-sixteenth Negro blood and under the state law prohibiting "colored children" from attending a white school, were therefore debarred. The case was carried to the court of appeals and the decision of that court has the effect of upholding the Pike county court and the school trustee who refused to enroll the children as pupils. Decision Against Pythlans. Montgomery. — (Special.) — About 20,000 Negro Pythians in Alabama, will either have to change their name, emblems and rituals or quit business under a decree issued out of the court sustaining a bill filed by the gland lodge, Knights of Pythians, of Alabama (white), declaring that the Negro lodges were infringing against the white Pythians in adopting a similar name, emblems, etc. The Negro organization is the Knights Pythias of Europe, Asia Africa and North and South America. --- Sunday School Lesson for April 2 1911.

TIME—Most scholars place this event in the reign of Jeroboam, the son of Ahab, king of Isarel, who reigned B. C. 904-894. Others argue that it occurred in the reign of Jehoahaz B. C. 864-848. The maracles of Elisha were nearly all miracles of kindly helpfulness. What were some of these? Those immediately preceding and following our lesson; healing the unhealthful waters of a spring; bringing water into a dry valley for the aid of the three kings; paying a poor widow a debts by increasing her oil supply; restoring to life the son of the 9-namite woman; making health some pottage into which a poisonous plant had been put; feeding a hundred men with 20 barley cakes and a few ears of corn—this and the preceding being in time of famine; healing Naaman; making a loot ax head return to the surface of the water. Who was Naaman? He was commander-in-chief under the king of Syria, Benhadad II. Benhadad, who had been wont in his youth and middle age to lead his armies into the field in person, seems now in his old age to have found it necessary to entrust the command to a general. Naaman had gained renown by freeing his country from a powerful foe. Honored and powerful, what was the flaw in Naaman's fortune? He was a leaper. Laprosy is of slow development, and as Naaman retained his military command his malady cannot have reached a very advanced stage. Naaman was a great man, with a great need; and God prepared a great deliverance for him, as he has a great deliverance for all the great needs of his children. But it was brought about by four very simple agencies. Only inferior artists make a parade of complicated processes; the most skillful workers use few tools and unpretentious methods, and God is the most skillful of all artists. Why did Elisha bld Naaman to wash seven times in the rives Jordan? To test and strengthen his faith. The journey would give him time for meditation, for the nearest point of the Jordan was 25 miles in a straight line, but much farther in distance to be traveled, from the winding of the ravines down which it must be reached. Moreover, the simplicity of the act would turn Naaman's thoughts away from outward forms to the true God. He would be sure that the water itself did not accomplish the cure, else there would be no lepers in Israel. And he would not, at the distance of 25 miles, be likely to ascribe the cure to the prophet. Why was Naaman angry at this message? How was he to tell that this man of God did not design to mock him by sending him on a fool's errand, so that he would come back as a laughing-stock both to the Israelites and to his own people? Naaman had expected the prophet himself to come forth respectfully and "wave Lis hand over the place" and go through some mystic ceremony. The sting lay in the fact that the prophet himself took no part in the cure; that, instead of being proud to have so august a patient, he had calmly handed him, over to one of his assistant physicians—to the medical skill of the waters of Jordan. As Naaman went away in a rage how was he he put in a more sensible frame of mind? By one of his servants; Naaman seems to have had great fortune in his servants. My father, sald the servant with respectful affection, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldst-thou not have done it? Yes! Of course he would, and the greater the better. What was the result of Naaman's obedience? The result that always comes when men obey God's commands, he was instantly and moc pletely cleansed from his leprosy. ITEMS OF INTEREST.

CEMENT-ON-CURRENT LITERATURE CONCERNING NEGRO. When ever I hear the first wild note Of the meadow lark and the hermit thrush. Then its O! for the hills, the dawn and the dew, The breath of the fields and the sil- ent lake; And watching the wings of light burst through The scarlet blush of the new day- break. The broken and upturned earth to the air. By a billion thrusting blades of Spring. Sends out from the sod and from everywhere. its pungent aromas over everything. It is then while the earth still nestles insleep. And the robes of light are scarce un- furled. You can almost feel in its mighty sweep. The onward rush and roll of the world. In the drawing from the sky night's curtains of black. And the tense of hearts the silence brings. O'er the lapse of time, the soul leaps back, A face once more with primordial things. What say you reader? Could that desire for the open country with all its power to soothe our troubled restless spirits, which we all feel in the first warm welcome days of spring, be more beautifully or feelingly portrayed? Take the fourth verse, to us the most expressive, how forcibly it recalls the feeling of awe which comes into our hearts at dawn when nature seems rousing from her slumbers, freshened and strengthened for another day's battle. "The onward roll and rush of the world!" Yes! and not only of it are we conscious, but equally of God's goodness in giving us the chance power to appreciate it all. The other poem is by.Professor James E. Simpson, head of the language department, Central High school. From time to time, poems from the pen of this gentleman, have appeared in the columns of the white papers and the one which we here produce was rated the best thing the Louisville Times received on the subject of "Home Coming Week." It is filled with the home love of the typical Kentuckian and a model of technical skill and poetical ability aside from its other virtues, it is especially illustrative of the keen and sympathetic interest the intelligent Negro feels in the general life of the community. Home to us is the dearest, best-loved spot in all" this grain of sand we call the world and Kentucky! Well, there may be other places, but we can't see 'em. When the rosses are a-blooming, and the fields of ripened grain, But await the reapers, farmers' who have labored not in vain; When the drowsy bees go humming. the lowers tree and rair. When all nature is rejoicing, neath the June skies fair and bright And our hearts'attuned to nature, are just thrilling with delight, Then, wherever we have wandered, under Heaven's spacious dome. We are, coming, we are coming, to our Old Kentucky Home. From the land of Montezuma, where the prickly cactus grows, the prickly cactus grows, And Alaska's far-off regions, in the realm of northern snows; From beyond the Alleghanies, from beyond the Rockies old, Where America's Pactolus, glided Indians and Their Dead Indians and Their Dead truding above the ground, he ties one end of a string and leads the other end in the direction of the Grand Canon. At the end of four days it is believed the soul leaves the body, climbs the pole, and with the string to guide it goes to its eternal home in the canon. The Navajos, on the contrary, are very superstitious about handling What the Old Man Was Proud Of What the Old Man Was Proud Of was an old man with a peculiar, hopeful expression on his face. He was asked why he was so cheerful, and he replied: "I guess you'll see my name on that board before long." He pointed to the bulletin of deaths. His reply upset the caller for a moment, but soon another question was asked: "Well, why should that make you particularly cheerful? As to Our Sense of Humor As to Our Sense of Humor So, too, a man in Lawrenceburg, Ind, laughed for 12 hours over the idea of trading a mule for a shave-tail horse. A sense of humor is often a safety valve to human beings. Life would be a dull thing without it, but its manifestations are beyond estimation. A recent writer speaks of the frequency with which it spoils the most pathetic scenes at the theater; of how In the Outlook is an article from the pen of Hermann Rosenthal, chief of the Slavonic Department in the N.Y. public library entitled "The Martyrdom of the Russian Jew." Every American ought to read the article as it contains, in vivid portrayal, the story of the baneful effects of race hatred and proscription on a helpless people. To us the Jews have always seemed a great people. Law-abiding energetic, industrious, thrifty, every country in which they have been given the right to live unhampered by prejudice and free to grow and develop to their fullest possibilities, has been blessed in numbering them among its population. The Jews are a peace-loving people and therefore essentially producers. In law, in science, in literature, in the arts, in every sphere of activity, where brain-power and skill is at a premium, the Jew has made good. It seems strange and country, listed as civilized, should deliberately pursue a policy of repression, persecution and murder against such a people. Russia is the disgrace of the Modern world—her people are barbarians who have never yet given convincing proof of their right to rank with the foremost people of the earth. The Russian government reflects in its methods the character of the Russian people—instincte, tricky, cunning cruel, cowardly—thinking always of the end, never of the means, autocratic, intolerant and bigoted, it would be well if the great powers of the world should ally, to partition off among themselves, the territory of the vast empire and thus blot it from the earth. The success of the Jewish race ought to be an inspiration to every downtrodden people in the world. Centuries of oppression have neither blunted the edge of their intellect, nor dimmed the lustre of their hopes. At the head of the labor world stands a Jew, "Karl Marx"; at the head of the world of capital, stands a Jew—"Baron Rothschild." The Jew has been cursed in every language known to the tongues of men—he has seen the rise and fall of all the great empires of the past—has witnessed the glory of the Babylonians—has looked in admiration, on the grandeur of Egyptian civilization—has helped to make possible the classic triumphs of ancient Hellas — has seen the holy strong arm of the conquering Roman city ravaged and pillaged. — yet all of these have passed into the silent halls of death, while the Jew, with us yet, has strewn flowers on all their graves. Since Paul Lawrence Dunbar passed to the great beyond, there has been no truly great Negro poet seemingly worthy to wear his toga. "His sceptre was the bow of Ulysses not to be drawn by a weaker hand." It may he, however, that somewhere unheralded and unsung, there lives some genius—awaiting only opportunity to make himself known, who may with propriety wear the fallen wreath of the dead daureate. We believe it was Gray who once wrote that "many a flower is born to blush unseen and waste its sweetness in the desert air." For we this truth was emphatically the other day, when in conversation with some friends, we were given several samples of the poets art which, in our humble opinion, are truly commendable. The first is from the pen of George McCelland, doubtless known to many of our readers, Professor in Latin in Central High School, Louisville, recently appointed, to a position in the high school at Washington, D. C. The Professor sat down and dashed off the beautiful little poem with such apparent ease that we could not help marvel, here it is: The Hopi Indian believes that the souls of all deceased adults go to the Grand Canon. When a man dies a grave is dug. The nearest relative of the deceased carries the body to the grave, places it in a sitting posture facing the Grand Canon, erects a long pole between the legs, locks the dead man's fingers around it and fills the grave. To the top of the pole, pro- Cheerful Because He. Will Have a "Real Funeral" When He Is Buried. "All is vanity, salth the preacher." This sentiment certainly was confirmed at the Kings county almshouse the other day. Standing near the door of a large room where the innates congregate and have lively discussions on almost every conceivable subject, Life Would Be Dull Without It, But its Manifestations Are Beyond Estimation. A dignified, retired judge in the east was brought near to death later through a fit of laughter caused by a comparison of a woman in a noble skirt to a giraffe with its feet tied together. The possessor of a keen sense of humor would hardly find this convulsing, but it nearly killed the judge over sands of gold. From the valley, plain or upland, where our household altars stand. And the city, town or hamlet, where we dwell a happy band; As they gathered for the triumph, in the elder days of Rome. the other days of Kentucky. We are coming, we are coming to our old Kentucky home. To Kentucky fair and lovely, where our eyes first saw the light, Where we learned in youth the lessons, justice, mercy, truth and right, And our fathers sagely taught us, as they led us by the hand, That divided we would perish, that united we would stand; Longing for those scenes or childhood, eager for that land so bright, Where the flames of love are burning, on the hearthstones day and night, From our birthplace, naught shall keep us, through the sunshine, mist or gloom. We are coming, we are coming, to our old Kentucky home. "The average white man in the United States," says Booker T. Washington, in the World's Work, "has the idea that the average Negro spends most of his time bemoaning the fact that he is not a white man, or in trying to devise some way by which he will be permitted to mingle, in a purely social way, with which people. This is far from the truth. "In my intercourse with all classes of the Negro, north and south, it is a rare occurrence when the matter of getting away from the race, or of social intermingling with the white people, is so much as mentioned. It is especially true that intelligent Negroes find a satisfaction in social intercourse among themselves that is rarely known or understood by any one outside of the Negro race. In their family life, in the secret societies and churches, as well as other organizations, topics invariably relate to some enterprise for the betterment of the race." Canadians in This Country. In the United States, according to the census, are $19,264 Canadians ten years of age and over. Forty per cent. of these are engaged in manufacturing, 30 per cent. In personal service, between 17 and 18 per cent. in trade and transportation, about the same percentage in agriculture, and somewhat over 4 per cent. in professions. The percentage in the professions is approximately the same, as that of the native born white population in the United States. The large numbers, as compared with the number left behind following the same occupations throw light on conditions in Canada—for example, the number of expauulated Canadian teachers and college professors, lawyers and clergymen. Iron Works in Sweden. Extensive projects for the establishment of iron works on the west coast of Sweden are now under consideration, but it is alleged that such works, in order to be successful, must be in a position to manufacture cheply and compete with other produce in the market of the world. This, it is admitted, is of more importance to the new industry than either an export duty on iron or heavy customs duties on foreign produce introduced into Sweden. Bellc Hunters Busy. The telephone pole from which the detective was hung at Neward, Ohio, is guarded from the ravages of relic hunters, but before the city officials encased it in sheet iron, the pole had been hacked half through by those who sought mementoes of the night's grewsome work. dead bodies. They believe that the evil spirit that kills the person hovers around the hogan, as they call their lodge, awaiting other victims, and a hogan in which a death occurs is never occupied again. Navajo hogans are always built with the entrance facing the east. When a death occurs in one of them an opening is invariably made in the north side. Therefore, when one sees a hogan with the north side knocked out he may be certain some one has died in it. Do you think you'll be so much better off in the next world?" "No, it isn't that," was his rejoinder. He moved a little closer to his questioner and said: "I'll show these fellows," and with a sweep of his hand he indicated all the inmates. "I'll show these fellows who have rich relatives calling on 'em here. I haven't got any relations, but I have got a paid-up insurance policy, and when I'm buried they'll see a real funeral. I'll show 'em. They'll think I was somebody once."—New York Press. that which should incite pity is mis taken by the thoughtless for a subject of ninth. The criticism is deserved, but it is to be doubted if it will correct a misplaced sense of humor, which seems to be inherent in a considerable portion of the human race. There is no accounting for taste even in matters of this sort, and there is no way to prevent grave and reverend jurists or mule traders from becoming victims of an undeveloped or a too greatly developed sense of humor. PRESIDENT TAFT SPEAKS TO NEGROES OF ATLANTA PRESIDENT OF THE U. S. SAYS THINGS ARE LOOKING BETTER FOR THE RACE. LAUDS VOCATIONAL TRAINING Atlanta—(Special)—President William Howard Taft, speaking before the toe Central Avenue M. E. church, colored, expressed the sentiment that the salvation of the colored race lies in vocational training, especially along agricultural lines. President Taft was preceded to the platform by Captain Archive Butt and accompanied by Postmaster Hugh McKee, Collector Henry S. Johnson and others. After the rendition of "Down by the River" by the choir and "America" by the entire audience J. A. Rush pastor of the church, introduced President Taft. "In presenting the president," said Doctor Rush, "I do not present the president of the north, nor of the south, nor of the rich, nor of the poor, but of the entire country. I take pleasure in presenting to you the greatest ruler in the world, William Howard Taft, president of the United States." The president's speech follows, in part: "I am very much complimented to have you come here in such numbers to greet me. I am glad to be here I never lose an opportunity to express my intense interest in the welfare of the colored citizens of the United States. "I know the hard road you have had to travel and I know the hard road that lios before you, but I believe in my heart that things are looking brighter for you from year to year. "You do not ask alms, you do not ask the government for help, you do not ask anything more than other people. All you ask is an opportunity, and that I believe all good men, north or south, are most anxious that you should have." "I have heard it said that your lot in the south is a hard one. I do not believe it. You are now in the south and you look reasonably happy. I have frequently heard my good friend, Dr. C. T, Walker, pastor of the Augusta Methodist church, tell of the friendly relations existing between the whites of that city and the members of his congregation. "One of the tendencies of public speakers is to tell the public what they ought to do; it is so much easier to tell it than to do it. You have here in the south a splendid soil which gives a material response to labor, intelligently applied. The members of your race have shown that they fully realize the great wealth stored away in it, and are beginning to understand the methods of getting this wealth out. "Statistics tell of the splendid $1. 000,000,000 cotton crop and show that you have helped to raise it, and have done your full share in delivering it across the ocean." "If you are going to save enough to make a home you have laid the foundations of happiness for yourselves, your wives and your children. If you make yourselves useful in the community, they are bound to value you, because they can't help it. It is only when you are shiftless and waste your time in saloons that you cease to be useful. "The secret of the solution of the problem of the south is education, primary and industrial." (Voice, "We don't get it.") "You say you don't get it. You must realize that it takes time and money to perfect systems of eduation. A good government is an expensive government. It must have money to educate the children and it must have time in which, to arrange the schools. It is one thing to have statistics and another thing to have schools, properly supervised and with a coords of efficient teachers. "I am a trustee of Hampton institute and one of the trustees of the seanes fund, devoted to rural colored schools in the south. Education is steadily improving throughout the country. Conventions are taking the matter up and public opinion has been aroused. The whites of the south know that the education of the black is as essential as the education of the whites. Those who have examined statistics must be blind if they do not have sympathy for a race which, in slavery forty years ago, now number over 50 per cent of its members in the literate class. And now, friends, goodby and God bless you." THE PHILOSOPHES. False pride has deprived many a man of an honest day's work. He who profits by the experiences of his fellows is the experienced man. The workman who watches the clock is the one who is watched by the boss. It is a husband's duty to praise his wife's cooking, even if it is carrying it to an early grave. When a man is in love he never owes whether his heart is in the eye or not. ? A. W. Holmes.

Napier is in Washington to take charge of the office of the register of the treasury after being banqueted in Nashville and along the route to this city. He will occupy with his family the Langston residence ad joining the Howard University campus. Mr. Lewis will come down permanently from Boston about the same time, but will not remove his family from Boston at the present. Hon. W. T. Vernon, the retiring register, has not as yet determined on the course which he will pursue after leaving the Thesaury. While he will engage in business if the proper opportunity offers, he will more propably go on the lecture platform for a time continuing his residence at Washington in preference to returning to Kansas. Eldredge Hawkins, a young colored man of Washington, recently received an appointment at Monrovia, Liberia, as assistant secretary of the legation there. He is a graduate of the Business High school of this city and his appointment was greatly assisted by the faculty of that institution. He will be the second graduate of this institution at the Liberian legation, Lieutenant Benjamin Oliver Davis being the other, Mr. Hawkins will receive a $1,000 salary. Prof. R. R. Wright of College, Ga. is expected at Washington within a few weeks in interest of some form of semi-centennial celebration of the enunciation of Negro slaves in 1863. The capital city has been thoroughly organized for the local celebration and committee composed of members of various colored citizens' associations are conferring weekly on the plan which must be matured at this early date. The leaders in this movement have made a careful study of the recent semi-centennial of the emancipation of the serfs in Russia and have about come to the conclusion that a similar form of jubilee is the most desirable for the colored citizens of America to hold throughout the nation during one week in the fall of 1913.

NEGRO DOMINATION THE AMERICAN NEGRO WOMAN ALL TRUE. Father Time is the man of the hour. It's plain that no woman ever thinks she is. A blind actor should be able to act with feeling. Many a rich man has barely missed landing in jail. He is a strong man who can overcome his smallest weakness. Wise is the man who knows what to say—and then doesn't say it. OBLIQUES. Efficiency has hustle for her handmaid. Wise men have tongs for dangerously sweet women. Some day common sense will be catalogued as the greatest talent. One woman's idea of another is often as inaccurate as her own about herself. WAYSIDE WISDOM. The hardest job in the world is the hypocrite's! No girl could be as unsophisticated as a widow seems. Some men's idea of being independent is to be impolite. The more a man knows about himself, the less he thinks of human nature. Flattery is the one counterfeit that all of us prefer to the genuine arti Jackson, Miss—(Special.)—In his address delivered at the reunion of the surviving members of the Mississippi Constitutional convention of 1890, held in the state senate chamber of Jackson recently, the Hon. Isalah T. Montgomery, the only Negro member of that memorable convention, and the founder of Mound Bayou, told his hearers that the cry of the alarmist of Negro domination had proved to be purely mythical. In speaking on the subject—"Mississippi. Past and Present," Mr. Montgomery said: Mr. President and Gentlemen—It would seem proper that, as the single representative of a people so largely interested in the former work of this body, I should say a few words on this anniversary occasion.

Shape of the Tongue The latest fad is delineating character by the shape of the tongue. Thus, the tongue that shoots out straight without turning or wavering indicates a solid, reliable man of affairs. Tongues that turn up indicate impractical natures. A downward, drooping tongue belongs to one born to poverty and a ready eye for the hopeless side of things. The cruel tongue flattens and broadens when extended. The delicate-speaking organ with curled-up edges is the property of an imaginative and artistic being. When the tongue issues forth as if gripped in a dental vice it signifies a love of life more than ordinary. come within the grasp of a strong-minded, bad woman, and all that he has or may be is doomed, unless he can shake himself loose. No nation can rise, above its women. Hense, it is the duty of every woman who desires her nation's greatness, to live such lives as will help to make the nation great. Let us as men be careful whom we introduce into our families and homes. We are affected for better of worse by those with whom we came in close contact. Evil associations corrupt good manners. This has been an unusually good season in Maine for the trapping of fur-bearing animals. Not long ago a silver-gray foxskin sold in Lewiston for $800. Another, not so large or handsome, netted the lucky woodsman $150 and a Franklin county man reports the capture of a Canadian lynx whose skin measured 45 inches in length. FORTUNE FOR CHEROKEE FREEDMEN Heira of Indian's Slaves Will Be Given Share of Land Money. Chicago — (Special.) — "Attorney Henry D. Laughlin, together with Attorney Robert H. H. Hern of St. Louis, will receive a fee of $1,000,000 as a result of a decision just rendered by the United States court of claims in Washington in the Cherokee land suits, which have been in litigation for twenty years, according to recent dispatches. The successful outcome of the suit revealed the strange story of the enrichment of Negroes, former slaves of the Cherokee Indians, as a result of this litigation, and of the rise of President Grant's former body servant to riches and his equally sudden descent again into poverty. Mr. Laughlin went at once to Washington, on learning of the outcome of the suit. It gives large tracts of land in Oklahoma and elsewhere, formerly held by the Cherokees, to the Negroes who once were their slaves. As oil has been discovered in these fields the amount of the awards runs into many millions of dollars. "In the absence of Mr. Laughlin, his son, Randolph Laughlin, told the story of these remarkable claims." "There is no truth in the dispatch that my father would receive a $1,000,000 fee, said he. "The amount is greatly exaggerated. The litigation, however, is important and this decision means much to about 2,000 Negroes. "The beginning of the story is in General Grant's terms as president. He had an old body servant, Milton Turner, who was the son of a prince in Morocco and a Negro of great dignity and ability, who had been stolen in infancy and sold into slavery. He appointed this Negro minister of the Liberian republican in Africa. "He found that the courts had recided that the freed Negro slaves of the Cherokee Indians were entitled to the same rights as the Indians, and this litigation, which my father conducted for twenty years, was to establish that the rights were not only political, but material—in other words, that the freed Negro slaves of the Cherokees were entitled to their share in the Cherokee lands. The court of claflms has just decided in the affirmative." Washington Public Schools May Have Commissioner of Education. Washington, D. C.—(Special.)—It congress considers favorably the suggestion of President Taft that a commissioner of education, be appointed to assume charge of the public schools of the District of Columbia and control them without the assistance of a board of education, as now constituted, several colored members of the board would be affected by such a change. In considering the question of economy in the business administration of the schools, complaint is now being made through the public press of the heavy expense due to the existence of a dual system of schools here composed of white and colored officials from the assistant superintendent down. There are many persons who believe that congress is about to make legislation which will do away with several of the colored official positions and that the colored people of the capital are about to lose thereby much of their prestige in educational circles. Others think that the agitation through the press at present is but to prepare the public in a measure for some few slight but important changes. EDUCATORS VISIT TUSKEGEE. White Educators From All Parts of the Country Impressed by Work at Institute. Tuskegee, Ala.—(Special.)—The department of superintendence of the National Educational Association held a meeting in Mobile, Ala. Prior to the meeting and afterwards, Tuskegee Institute was visited by a considerable number of educators. They were met by officers of the school and guides, who conducted them all through the academic classes of the school, through the mechanical shops, through the office building, through Dorothy hall and through most of the agricultural department. .

Ignorance in many cases, has over ridden what little educational advantages some people accumulated, and cause them to be drunkards and liars. If the church could get some way to eliminate the class of hypocrites and pretenders that constitute a part of its membership, more true souls could be added to the christian church.

SOUTH IS HINDERED BY VIOLENCE OF MOBS SOUTH IS HINDERED BY VIOLENCE OF MOBS SECRETARY OF WAR DICKINSON MAKES INTERESTING STATEMENT IN ATLANTA. CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVING Advances Theory for Ultimate Solution of the Race Problem In South. Attauna.—(Special.)—Full commercial development of the south can follow only on the suppression of mob violence, in the opinion of Jacob M. Dickinson, the secretary of war. Addressing the Southern Commercial Congress in this city, Mr. Dickinson declared that because of frequent lawless outbreaks, an unjustifiable prejudice against the southern states existed not only in the north, but in foreign countries. Such outbreaks, he declared, were the result of abnormal conditions produced by the civil war Broadly viewed, however, he added, the south would be found to be a land of law and order, and he emphatically urged the immediate necessity of establishing a reverence for and an impartial enforcement of the law as a primary step to the future greatness of the south. As an ultimate solution of the race problem in the south, Mr. Dickinson suggested the possibility of the voluntary removal of the mass of young Negroes to a country of their own, fostered and guarded by the United States. "When they grow in wealth and education," said Mr. Dickinson, "and still find themselves confined in their aspirations by insurmountable barriers which bar their social and political progress and deny them the opportunities of citizenship open to all others, and ambition to t. thenselves from such conditions may." Tained by a liberal governmental policy, lead to such a movement." "Progress and the protection of persons and property under the law," said Mr. Dickinson, "are correlative terms. There can be no general and steady economic development where there is a general non-enforcement of the law. The tremendous and steady strides being made generally in the south for successive decades, in education, commerce, manufactures, mines, bank capital, railroad agriculture, indeed all that indicates steady progress, demonstrate that the people of the south, taken generally, are peaceable and law-abiding." Turning to the subject of crimes, Mr. Dickinson declared that the war brought many changes, and that at tacks on white women by Negroes nad "done more to evoke lawlessness in the south than all other causes combined." "There would have been, without this, for a long time," continued Mr. Dickinson, "much personal violence growing out of the hot temper of the people and the development by war of their fighting proclivities. But this would have subsided with greater rapidity than it has done if that one crime as a breeder of crime had not afflicted us. I say a breeder of crime, for there is no such hothed for the propagation of crime as a mob. "In my judgment, conditions have improved, and are steadily improving partly on account of our general proxious condemnation from men and res, and a more pronounced and vig papers of influence and character who appreciate the magnitude of the evil, and partly because the more enlightened Negroes have taken a wise and more determined attitude toward the lawless of their own race." Reform School for Youths Charlotte, N. C.—(Special.)—There is much likelihood that a reform school for wayward Negro youths will be established very soon. The sentiment of the entire state, both white and black, is behind the movement. It has the endorsement of the press of the state. A bill has been introduced in the legislature providing for an appropriation of $5,000, which bill will very probably pass. The Shortest Poem The shortest poem ever written con- cerned files.

It's plain that no woman ever thinks she is. A blind actor should be able to act with feeling. Many a rich man has barely missed landing in jail. He is a strong man who can overcome his smallest weakness. Wife is the man who knows what to say—and then doesn't say it. OBLIQUES. Efficiency has hustle for her handmaid. Wise men have tongs for dangerously sweet women. Some day common sense will be catalogued as the greatest talent. One woman's idea of another is often inaccurate as her own about herself. WAYSIDE WISDOM. The hardest job in the world is the hypocrite's! No girl could be as unsophisticated as a widow seems. Some men's idea of being independent is to be impolite. The more a man knows about himself, the less he thinks of human nature.

Thus, the tongue that shoots out straight without turning or wavering indicates a solid, reliable man of affairs. Tongues that turn up indicate impractical natures. A downward, drooping tongue belongs to one born to poverty and a ready eye for the hopeless side of things. The cruel tongue flattens and broadens when extended. The delicate-speaking organ with curled-up edges is the property of an imaginative and artistic being. When the tongue issues forth as if gripped in a dental vice it signifies a love of life more than ordinary. come within the grasp of a strong-minded, bad woman, and all that he has or may be is doomed, unless he can shake himself loose. No nation can rise above its women. Hense, it is the duty of every woman who desires her nation's greatness, to live such lives as will help to make the nation great. Let us as men be careful whom we introduce into our families and homes. We are affected for better of worse by those with whom we came in close contact. Evil associations corrupt good manners. This has been an unusually good season in Maine for the trapping of fur-bearing animals. Not long ago a silver-gray foxskin sold in Lewiston for $800. Another, not so large or handsome, netted the lucky woodsman $150 and a Franklin county man reports the capture of a Canadian lynx whose skin measured 45 inches in length. FORTUNE FOR CHEROKEE FREEDMEN Heira of Indian's Slaves Will Be Given Share of Land Chicago — (Special.) — "Attorney Henry D. Laughlin, together with Attorney Robert H. H. Hern of St. Louis, will receive a fee of $1,000,000 as a result of a decision just rendered by the United States court of claims in Washington in the Cherokee land suits, which have been in litigation for twenty years, according to recent dispatches. The successful outcome of the suit revealed the strange story of the enrichment of Negroes, former slaves of the Cherokee Indians, as a result of this litigation, and of the rise of President Grant'a former body servant to riches and his equally sudden descent again into poverty. Mr. Laughlin went at once to Washington, on learning of the outcome of the suit. It gives large tracts of land in Oklahoma and elsewhere, formerly held by the Cherokees, to the Negroes who once were their slaves. As oil has been discovered in these fields the amount of the awards runs into many millions of dollars. "In the absence of Mr. Laughlin, his son, Randolph Laughlin, told the story of these remarkable claims." "There is no truth in the dispatch that my father would receive a $1,000,000 fee, said he. "The amount is greatly exaggerated. The litigation, however, is important and this decision means much to about 2,000 Negroes. "The beginning of the story is in General Grant's terms as president. He had an old body servant, Milton Turner, who was the son of a prince in Morocco and a Negro of great dignity and ability, who had been stolen in infancy and sold into slavery. He appointed this Negro minister of the Liberian republican in Africa. "He found that the courts had recided that the freed Negro slaves of the Cherokee Indians were entitled to the same rights as the Indians, and this litigation, which my father conducted for twenty years, was to establish that the rights were not only political, but material—in other words, that the freed Negro slaves of the Cherokees were entitled to their share in the Cherokee lands. The court of claims has just decided in the affirmative." NEGRO COMMISSIONER WANTED Washington Public Schools May Have Commissioner of Education. Washington, D. C.—(Special.)—if congress considers favorably the suggestion of President Taft that a commissioner of education be appointed to assume charge of the public schools of the District of Columbia and control them without the assistance of a board of education, as now constituted, several colored members of the board would be affected by such a change. In considering the question of economy in the business administration of the schools, complaint is now being made through the public press of the heavy expense due to the existence of a dual system of schools here composed of, white and colored officials from the assistant superintendent down. There are many persons who believe that congress is about to make legislation which will do away with several of the colored official positions and that the colored people of the capital are about to lose thereby much of their prestige in educational circles. Others think that the agitation through the press at present is but to prepare the public in a measure for some few slight but important changes. EDUCATORS VISIT TUSKEGEE. White Educators From All Parts of the Country Impressed by Work at Institute. Tuskegee, Ala.—(Special.)—The department of superintendence of the National Educational Association held a meeting in Mobile, Ala. Prior to the meeting and afterwards, Tuskegee Institute was visited by a considerable number of educators. They were met by officers of the school and guides, who conducted them all through the academic classes of the school, through the mechanical shops, through the office building, through Dorothy hall and through most of the agricultural department. Pythians Dedicate Home Pythalee Bedeaux Indianapolis, Ind.—(Special.)—The local Knights of Pythias of this city formally dedicated their new treestory building and hall at the corner of Senate avenue and Walnut street. The exercises were conducted by Supreme Chancellor Green and Grand Chancellor Tidrington, assisted by supreme and grand officers. MESSENGER MESSAGES. Ignorance in many cases, has over hidden what little educational advan- tages some people accumulated, and cause them to be drunkards and illars. If the church could get some way to eliminate the class of hypocrites and pretenders that constitute a part of its membership, more true souls could be added to the christian church. Ignorance may love company, but it goes to company'airs. SOUTH IS HINDERED BY VIOLENCE OF MOBS SOUTH IS HINDERED BY VIOLENCE OF MOBS SECRETARY OF WAR DICKINSON MAKES INTERESTING STATEMENT IN ATLANTA. CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVING Advances Theory for Ultimate Solution of the Race Problem Atlanta.—(Special.)—Full commercial development of the south can follow only on the suppression of mob violence, in the opinion of Jacob M. Dickinson, the secretary of war. Addressing the Southern Commercial Congress in this city, Mr. Dickinson declared that because of frequent lawless outbreaks, an unjustifiable prejudice against the southern states exlated not only in the north, but in foreign countries. Such outbreaks, he declared, were the result of abnormal conditions produced by the civil war. Broadly viewed, however, he added, the south would be found to be a land of law and order, and he emphatically urged the immediate necessity of establishing a reverence for and an impartial enforcement of the law as a primary step to the future greatness of the south. As an ultimate solution of the race problem in the south, Mr. Dickinson suggested the possibility of the voluntary removal of the mass of young Negroes to a country of their own, fostered and guarded by the United States. "When they grow in wealth and education," said Mr. Dickinson, "and still find themselves confined in their aspirations by insurmountable barriers which bar their social and political progress and deny them the opportunities of citizenship open to all others, and ambition to them serves from such conditions may." Trained by a liberal governmen's policy lead to such a movement." "Progress and the protection of persons and property under the law," said Mr. Dickinson, "are correlative terms. There can be no general and steady economic development where there is a general non-enforcement of the law. The tremendous and steady strides being made generally in the south for successive decades, in education, commerce, manufactures, mines, bank capital, railroad agriculture, indeed all that indicates steady progress, demonstrate that the people of the south, taken generally, are peaceable and law-abiding." Turning to the subject of crimes, Mr. Dickinson declared that the war brought many changes, and that at tacks on white women by Negroes had "done more to evoke lawlessness in the south than all other causes combined." "There would have been, without this, for a long time," continued Mr. Dickinson, "much personal violence growing out of the hot temper of the people and the development by war of their fighting proclivities. But this would have subsided with greater rapidity than it has done if that one crime as a breeder of crime had not afflicted us. I say a breeder of crime, for there is no such hotbed for the propagation of crime as a mob. "In my judgment, conditions have improved, and are steadily improving partly on account of our general proxious condemnation from men and ress, and a more pronounced and vig papers of influence and character who appreciate the magnitude of the evil, and partly because the more enlightened Negroes have taken a wise and more determined attitude toward the lawless of their own race." Reform School for Youths. Charlotte, N. C.—(Special.)—There is much likelihood that a reform school for wayward Negro youths will be established very soon. The sentiment of the entire state, both white and black, is behind the movement. It has the endorsement of the press of the state. A bill has been introduced in the legislature providing for an appropriation of $5,000, which bill will very probably pass. The shortest poem ever written concerned files.

An' who should I see settin' dar Upon de ole hay rack, But mah blackbird, shuah, mah blackbird, An' e said: "I'se jes' got back." Den he opened up his warble, When de gentle winds so sott Came dancin' from de hilltops dar, An' o'er de meddah croft. An' down hyar by mah cabin do' He salg an' flashed his wing. An' praised De Lod of glory, Kase my blackbird fetched de spring. DA COLDA FEET. Da beggarman across da way Ees happy as can be; He laugh an' weenk baycause he theenk He gotta joke on me.

CLEAR THE WAY. The crest and crowning of all good Life's final star, is brotherhood; For it will bring again to earth Her long-lost poses and mirth; Will send her new light on every face, A kingly power upon the race. And till it comes, we men are slaves. And travel downward, to the dust of graves. Come, clear the way, then, clear the day; Blind creeds and kings have had their day, Our hope is in the aftermath— Our hope is in heroic men. Star-led to build the world again. To this event the ages ran; Make way for brotherhood—make way for men. —Edwin Markham Nice Little Boy—If you do not desist from annoying me I shall certainly tell my father.

James Hopper, who rode as a passenger in an Autolinette aeroplane, thus describes his emotions in Everybody's: "And then—good Lord, what is that! At first I thought that we had struck an abandoned quarry and were hurtling through a pile of stones. Then, more plausibly, that we had passed from the grassy plain to a road of torn-up macadam. But neither of these suppositions answered quite the question put to me by my senses. We seemed to roll on a medium singularly hard. Hard and smooth, and you sown with roughness. It folt as if we were upon a road of adamant laid upon the bedrock of the earth, and as if upon this adamantine road pebbles hard and faceted like diamonds had been strewn. Upon the hard, smooth substance the machine glided level, but excited to a furious trepidation by the bristling diamonds. 'We are going through a rock pile,' I said to myself, returning to my first unsatisfactory and yet more plausible supposition. We were flying, by Jove! That was the meaning of this hard going, this tremendous trepidation. From the gentle earth we had passed to the ways of the air. That adamantine, resilient and diamond-bristling surface upon which we rode now, it was the azure of the skies. It was ozone, it was ether, it was everything that is hazy and impalpable and blue—and it felt like metal, like rock, like chrome steel, like the compressed bowels of some planet smashed between two suns. I was flying, and it was like drilling. I was feeling the earth, and the earth was following me, jealous and vigilant, gripping me, stubbornly and implacably, with its earth sensations. WAS AN INVENTIVE GENIUS Man Devised Contrivance for Riveting Knobs on Strings of Honey Bees —Why It Failed. "That man once invented a great labor-saving device that he expected to make him rich, but his hopes all came to nothing." "What was it?" "It was a contrivance for riveting little knobs upon the stingers of honey bees, thus rendering them harmless. He got his idea from seeing a cow with knobs on her horns to prevent her from goring." "Why, was it that his invention didn't pan out?" "That was the strange part of it. You see, bees are queer things. As soon as he would get his little knob fastened upon the stinger of a bee the blamed thing would just sit around, tapping on the floor of the hive with it. Before he had completed his invention no bee had ever been able to make a noise of that kind. Well, sir, all the bees that had knobs on their stingers just seemed to give up their ambition as honey gatherers, and there they would sit, proudly drumming on the floor of the hive, hour after hour, while the bees that didn't wear knobs would hang around listening, instead of going about their business. So he had to give it up; but I understand that he's working on a new thing which he expects to turn out much better." . "What is it?" "It's a machine for fastening fish scales together so they can be used in stove doors in the place of isinglass." World's Greatest Oil Well. The scene in the Potrero del Llano district, a feet miles above here, where the biggest oil well in the world has been active since January 3, 1911, cannot be adequately described. Imagine a solid column of oil shooting to a height of more than four hundred and fifty feet from a hole in the earth, with a mist of minute globules carried by the wind for more than ten miles settling down upon the vegetation and forming pools of oil within that radius; then a great lake of the fluid four miles long by three miles wide and formed by means of an earthen dam hastily thrown across a natural reservoir, and at the lowest depression of the bank of this lake a channel several feet wide leading into the Tuxpan river, through which the overflow of oil from the wonderful geyser is constantly going to waste.—Tuxpaw (Mexico) Dispatch.

Ifso,she will glorify herself forever in the history of the Order. Each Odd Fellow in Georgia owes it to himself and his state to give every dollar he can for this great effort. The eyes of Odd Fellows all over this nation are upon you, and everybody is asking, “Will Georgial be able to do it?” I believe you will. I hope to see you do it; and to show that I am in earnest about wanting to see that buil 'ing rise in Atlanta, I am sending you my check for $10 to help you put it up. «” Yours Fraternally, . / W.L.
