[NEW YORK AGE.] The trustees of the Shelby school district, in Bolivar county, Miss., do not want Italians to attend their school, and petitioned the superintendent of the county to separate them from the native whites, as Afro-Americans are, but that official could not decide the question and passed it up to the State Board of Education, which decided that the provisions for separate schools specifies two races only, "the white and colored"; "that is, says the report, "the decision was that the law of separation applies to color only and not to race." Under this ruling, if a Japanese child applied for admission to the public schools of Mississippi he would be barred out; and this rule would apply to him in every one of the Southern States, as it has applied to him in California, and raised a troublesome question between this country and the Government of Japan. But it appears to us that the highest school authority of Mississippi has admitted that the separate school law of the State is unconstitutional, which is equally true of the separate school and car laws of all of the Southern States. The first section of Article Fourteen defines citizenship as follows: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." All citizens are by this provision placed upon equality, and distribution of public taxation which carries with it discrimination on account of race or color would be repugnant to the spirit of equality of citizenship. In the last analysis the highest court would take this view of it, if it should be governed by the spirit and the letter of the Constitution, and it will ultimately have to come to it in the progress of public opinion. So, now, we have it that it is not a question of race but of color that is the SEATTLLE, WASHINGTON NOVEMBER 16, 1906. bone of contention. It will provoke some interesting developments before the end of the chapter. The Japanese, the Chinese, and the Filipinos are classified as to color with the Afro-American. Wow! Own real estate if you would stop discrimination. Founder's Day was celebrated by a banquet this week. We say, "long live the founders of this great city. The significance of the meeting or the Afro-American Realty and Investment Co. will be seen in the substantial hall to be erected in the spring. When justice shall sit supreme without being influenced by prejudice the innocent soldiers of the 25th Infantry, will, like Major Dreyfus, be reinstated, promoted and honored. Oregon leads in selecting the site for its state building at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition grounds. Oregon knows the benefits to be derived by those who get in early and often in these fairs. The weather man seems to have decided to assist in the Seattle development now going on. The rain has washed out nearly all the bridges and damaged the country roads. The Good Roads Club can now force the commissioners to keep their election promises. Maj. Richardson, U. S. A., officer of the road commission, is in town and tells of trails cut at different places. If the American government would take pattern from their Canadian neighbors and build substantial roads, mining would be greatly facilitated and the output increased. Jim Jones, the colored body servant of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy, is in Raleigh on his vacation, this being his home. He has a government position in Washington. Jones, who is well thought of here, left for Richmond to attend the funeral of Mrs. Jefferson Davis. He was with President Davis when he was captured, and President Davis placed Mrs. Davis and his daughter Winnie in charge of Jones. Just a few weeks ago Jones had a very kind letter from Mrs. Davis.—Colored American. the PRICE TEN CENTS. If you expect the management of The Seattle Republican to have any Thanksgiving then send your subscription in at once. The outcome of the vote on the proposed amendments to the state constitution will not be known for some days yet. Pierce county voted against the amendments, while King county went overwhelmingly in favor of them.—Herald. The Belgian people are awakening to the task of forcing King Leopold to desist from further torture and butchery of native Africans for the sake of his rubber industry. In some instances the practice of his minions has been to cut off the hands of natives who failed to deliver on demand a stipulated quantity of rubber; and slavery and murder were a part of the regular order of things—and this recalls that the Negro not only is furnishing America with King Cotton, but also furnishing rubber for the new American automobile. Surely the Negro is a factor in it all. But, down with Leopoldism in Africa! The Jewish race gets recognition in the appointment of Hon. Oscar S. Straus as Secretary of Commerce and Labor, and this recalls the fact that Judah P. Benjamin was a member of Jefferson Davis' Cabinet, and Disraelli a Prime Minister of England. There was once a time when the Jews were as much hated as the Negroes are today. Time brings many changes, adn the Negro's time is yet to come. His ten million in numbers now will be twenty million in a few decades, and his improvement will keep pace with his increase in numbers. He will not always be a pariah on the body politic. A Cabinet portfolio is within his future possibilities. "Tacoma will have a modern skyscraper about next season if the present plans of the Fidelity Trust company are carried into effect. That company contemplates the addition of six more stories to its structure at Eleventh and C streets, and the building, already one of the finest in the state, will have no superiors on the coast when extended up to an even dozen floors."—Herald. Seattle has skycrapers too numerous to mention and is still building them. Even The Republican is compelled to move to make room for a new one. When Tacoma is annexed to Seattle we will build a few more for her. rage 2 POL111CAL POT-PIE. The Pie-maker supported Joe Lyons from the Thirty-Sixth Senatorial district and was really desirous of his election, but, on the face of the returns, it appears that George Cotterill was elected, and though he only got one majority that one should, if gotten fairly and squarely, be as sufficient as if he had gotten 1,000 majority. It is being said that the senate will unseat Mr. Cotterill and give the place to Mr. Lyons. Such actions are not characteristic o. Republicans, and the Pie-maker does not believe they will do so in this instance. Its a constitutional weakness of Democrats to rob Republicans of office they fairly win at the polls, but Republicans do not do such and it would be a great mistake if they went contrary to the teachings of their fathers. Holding up the precedent set by the Populists when they controlled the legislature, for nothing they did should be any criterion for Republicans to follow. *** "I will bet a five dollar note, said a prominent Republican one day this week, that the next legislature will not pass a direct primary law, at least not one that will give the people any relief from the present political evils. Every State Senator is going to have a direct primary law of his own, and every one with a loop hole in it through which the politicians can slip out. Neither Senators Ankeny nor Piles wants a direct primary law, and, mark I tell you, their friends will kill any bill in the State Senate that puts the election of United State Senators under the direct control of the people. "Wont the people revolt at the next general election, you ask?" Perhaps they will and perhaps they will not, but most likely not enough of them will revolt to rebuke the party. The state is overwhelmingly Republican and Republicans from the East are coming so fast that those Republicans, who have been here some time, can not leave the party as fast as others come to its support. * * * There is nothing for the next legislature to do, but to pass a direct primary law, repeal a few bad graft laws that are now on the statute books, order a bunch of fountain pens for the members and then adjourn sine die. The people should be given a rest from new laws enacted for the benefit of some individual. Someone said of the last legislature that 75 per cent of the bills introduced therein were of a private nature and were for graft, which was not only true of the last legislature, but the most of the legislatures of this state. * * * Dr. P. S. Byrne, late Democratic candidate for the house of representatives in the Sixtieth Congress of the United States from Washington, has decided to retire from politics for all time to come, and in this he shows his good sense so long as he clings to Democratic politics. As to why he steps down and out the Piemaker will let him tell his own story as it appeared in a Spokane daily: "Dr. P. S. Byrne, defeated candidate for Congress on the Democratic ticket, declares that he is out of politics forever and that nothing could again tempt him to become a candidate for any office. Although he ran about 200 votes ahead of his ticket in this county Dr. Byrne complains of ingratitude on the part of the laborers. While mayor of Spokane four years ago, Dr. Byrne was known as the friend of the workingmen, and particularly of union labor. Since that time he THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN has had his eye on the governorship and expected to become a candidate to succeed Gov. Mead. He accepted the nomination to Congress with a view to testing his strength and expected the support of organized labor. Not having recieved it outside of his own county, he is discouraged and now declares that he is out of the race for governor or for any other office. By the Wayside. "Mothers, don't spank or scold your little ones, but treat them quietly with Auto-Suggestion," writes Dr. Eugene Eliscu. The average person smiles at the idea. In his mind ne likely says Auto-Suggestion may do for some weak little girls, but when it comes to my boy John, it has to be Auto-whip. Such men do not know what they are talking about. They could not give a definition of Auto-Suggestion to save their lives. They know that it does not leave welts on a child's body; that it does not make tears, sometimes of anger, spring to their eyes, and that it does not cause a spirit of rebellion in the tender hearts; they know that it does not do these things yet they are too narrow to investigate Auto-Suggestion enough to find out what it really does. * * * A school teacher of Lawton, Oklahoma, has been so annoyed by her pupils playing the game of "Post Office" that she had to appeal to the board of education to put a stop to it. Post Office is a kissing game, or rather the name is a poor excuse for permiscuous kissing between boys and girls. It would appear that there was a want of confidence in this particular locality between mothers and daughters, also between mothers and the teacher of their daughters, else there would have been a rapid disappearance of the Post Office game without the assistance of the board of education. As far as the boys were concerned the world teaches them to kiss a girl if she will permit it, instead of implanting in his mind the fact that there is a standard of right action for mankind. * * * We have been taught that some men achieve greatness and some have it thrust upon them, and so it seems, with notoriety only, we might add that others gain it by advertisement. The business world seems to approve of the latter way of gaining it judging by the quick reward which it offers. One Elizabeth Magie was to the world unknown until she offered herself for sale, afterwards declaring that she meant for the whole to represent only a part, that particular part in this case being only her brains. Doing her best she could only earn $10 per week, now she is employed by a large paper to write for it exclusively. Her articles are termed extraordinary. It is easy to imagine what they would have been termed before she blared her want add in the newspapers. * * * Already busy minds are concocting plans whereby new death traps may be built for the Alaska Yukon Exposition on the order of "the schute," "the figure eight, or "the scenic railway." Now it will soon be time for someone to seek out a novel way in which two love sick hearts that beat as one, may jump the broomstick. A launch is old; the auto has been pressed into service; horseback has been tried; Ferris wheel has lost its charms, but the mind of man is inventive, there will come a way some time time during Seattle's great Exposition. * * * A member of the patrol in New York named # November 16 1906 Hedman lost his life while endeavoring to save a boy from drowning. A report of it in an American paper had a headline above it which ran, "Aid for Hero's Mother." Another man in Baton Rouge, La., seeing a child of his employer, a prominent man of the town, in danger of being run over by maddened horses, and realizing that he could not save it otherwise, threw himself over the child and saved its life, but sacrificed his own. An American paper reports the incident with this headline, "Saved his Masters' Child," and closed it with the following ennobling words, "the darkey was severely injured and soon died." A foreigner reading the two reports would concieve the idea that Americans have either a dual understanding of heroism or a Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde appreciation of it. *** One of the latest discoveries in medical science is a serum which will cure snake bite; now if some one will only discover something which will prevent or cure backbiting, we will take great p'easure in black-balling two things which in the past have greatly annoyed human beings. The former has been much more prevalent in certain sections of different countries, but the latter is all sweeping and seems to thrive wherever the foot of man, or at least as many as three men, have been planted. * * * The following items were part of Booker T. Washington's annual report at the meeting of the board of trustees of Tuskegee Institute. The total income for the year for general and current expenses has been $212,238.57; special to the Endowment Fund $62,263.75. The total Endowment Fund in the hands of the Endowment committee, $1,238,-924.77. The total cash indebtedness of the institution is $67,029.99. This is accounted for very largely to the stock in trade on hand which amounts regularly to $78,456.04. Mike—Bedad, they are, Pat; its a wonder if we'll get out of the world alive. What with czars and Poles and bombs and tinned mates, and one thing and another. Pat (despondently)—I'm afraid we wouldn't even if we had as many lives as Plutarch.

The Negroes of Massachusetts are fighting the appropriation of state money for the Jamestown Exposition on the grounds that it is class legislation, as they will be debarred by the laws of Virginia from recieving equal benefits from the money so expended. Austin, Texas, is one of the few towns where all Negroes ride in auto's and the whites in street cars. The condition came about by the street car company putting on "Jim Crow Cars." The Negroes refused to ride in them and an enterprising company put on the auto's. It has proven a success. Just before the arrival of the "Classman," at Roanoke, Va., while Dorsey Patton, a white bill poster, was tacking up pictures of Tom Dixon near the fair grounds, he was set upon by a group of indignant Negroes and badly beaten. Every picture of Tom Dixon found in the bill poster's possession, was torn into bits and cast to the wind. The American Negro workman has no equal on the Globe, under anything approaching proper conditions. C. W. Chase, a millionaire of Gainesville, Fla., has lost $10,000 experimenting with Chinese as substitutes for Negro laborers in his naval store work. He acknowledges that the Chinese are undisputed tailures as substitutes, being willing workers, but physically too weak. Negroes will be put back to work. The Chicago Chronicle says: "Nobody will begrudge Henry O. Tanner, the colored American artist, now in Paris, the honors which he carried off for his striking and admirable painting at the Art institue. He is the first colored painter, though there have been many colored poets. The truth is that the African mind has in it a rich vein of imagination, which will some day astonish the world. it is far more apt to excel in the direction of art than of science." Alexander Walker, the Brownsville Negro on trial for the murder of county policeman J. L. Heard, was found guilty late today with a recommendation of mercy, and was sentenced to life imprisonment. A motion for a new trial was immediately filed by Walker's attorneys. Walker was indicted with 58 other Negroes for the murder of Policeman Heard in the September riots here, his being the first case to be tried. The white mob murderers who killed innocent and defenceless Negroes were given only a few months. The I. B. O. E., or Colored Elks—An Elks lodge of colored members is to be founded, it is reported, in Portland, Oregon, calling themselves the I. B. O. E. Its membership consists of waiters, Pullman car porters, and the more aristocratic portion of Cloudland, who look down upon the poorer classes of the Anglo Saxon race as "pore whit' trash." It is said that the Portland Elks are considerably annoyed by the innovation of black herds upon their hitherto exclusive range, and there may be a clash of antlers before the matter passes. So long, however, as the ebony colored membership do not really claim to be the Best People on Earth, there should be no decided ```markdown ``` THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN rivalry, jealousy or envy, which always implies a recognition of equality.—Ex. It looks like the prayers of the American Negroes for another Chas. Sumner, a fearless champion for justice, are about to be answered. From the trend of events it would seem that Sumner's mantle has fallen upon the shoulders of Senator Foraker, of Ohio, he alone has had the temerity to stand up in the Senate and champion the cause of the Negro. Today we sadly need a friend at court and we believe that he has been found in the person of Senator Foraker. May he be given strength to do the great work to which he has been divinely called.—Enterprise. Extracts from an address by Gov. Wm. D. Jelks, of Alabama, at the Alabama State fair on Negro Day. "Horrible, horrible is lynching; not only because it is a trampling upon the sacred statutes, but because in one half the cases, the mob's anger falls upon the unproven and even innocent victim. More than one time since I have occupied the executive chair, the ruthless violators have laid their illegal and impious hands upon a man as innocent of the offense charged as an angel. "How to live together, this is our problem. Yours and mine. "I say it is a problem for your race and mine, and yet I believe it is a problem more for your race than for mine. We need an army of good colored men in every section of this state to stand out boldly in favor of demanding a reverence for the statutes of the state. There are many brave men and honest men among your people that recognize the sacredness of the Divine and human statutes, but hesitate to make themselves felt in a war on those, who violate them. They are honest but inactive. "Many of your women are as virtuous as the women of any people. They keep their homes in order like Martha. Their husbands rise up to call them blessed and their children praise them. "Finally go to the best white men in your respective communities and lay your troubles before them. They will help you. Let us establish a comradeship with each other, a comradeship based on respect for law and a willingness to see that it is enforced, and further a comradeship of mutual helpfulness. "God knows I wish you well. I wish my own people well, and I could not do that and wish you ill, our mutual fortunes being much bound up together." How things have changed as told by the dispatches from a small town in Mississippi: The body of Annie Shirley, a Negro woman, was found at Pratt City yesterday morning, with indications that she had been criminally assaulted, after which she had been murdered. D. W. Sparrow, a guard at the state convict prison, and L. G. Stovall, a former guard, both white men, have been held for investigation. It is said that cards and money alleged to belong to these men were found near the scene of the murder. Sergeant Hill Best Shot in the Army. The complete records of rifle, pistol and carbine firing in the United States Army for 1905, which have just been published, show Abraham Hill, a sergeant in the Twenty-fourth Infantry, stationed in the Department of Dakota, to be the best shot in the army. The percentage of possible shots made by Hill on slow fire, timed fire and skirmish fire was 86.33. The three others at the head of the list with him were, Capt. Rufus E. Langar, 11th Inft., Dept. of Missouri, 85.1; Wm. A. Cantrell, 5th Inft., 84.67; Otto Shahn, sergeant in 2d Cavalry, Dept. of Luzon, 81.67. "Is this the best hotel in town?" asked the stranger. "Well," replied the native, "I dunno as I'd put it so strong as that, but I guess its safe to say it aint as bad as the rest of 'em."

Virgil. --- --- Paage 4 A few days ago the Associated Press told to the world how a black servant in Baton Rouge, La., w rather than see his master's three-year old child trampled to death by a runaway team of horses, threw himself on the child, thus exposing his own body, which verily did recieve the blows and from the effects of which the man died in a few minutes after the affrighted horses with the vehicle had passed over him, while the child was unhurt. Strange story is this coming from the South where the black folk are being butchered by the wholesale by the white folk. Can it be possible that a black man in the face of the inhuman treatment he is receiving from the whites could be found who would give up his life for one who but in a few short years will be dancing a highland fling around the funeral pyre of perhaps the son of the man who saved his life. Let's hope that that white father and son will be converted to a nobler and better life than is common to their friends and neighbors, that of butchering Negroes, not so much for either crimes or alledged crimes, but to intimidate and to keep the black man in a servile state. WHY A WOMAN NAGS. A doctor expresses the opinion that nine times out of ten a woman who nags is tired. One time out of ten she is hateful. Times out of mind her husband is to blame. The cases that come under the physician's eye are those of the women who are tired, and have been tired so long that they are suffering from some form of nervous disease. They may think they are only tired, but in fact they are ill. In such cases the woman often suffers more from her nagging than her husband or the children with whom she finds fault. She knows she does it. She does not intend to do it. She suffers in her own self respect when she does it, and in the depth of her soul longs for something to stop it. The condition is usually brought on by broken sleep, improper food, want of some other exercise than housekeeping, and enough of out of door air and practical objective thinking. It is often the most unselfish and most affectionate of women who fall into this state, says Woman's Life. They are too much devoted to their families to give themselves enough of any healthy exercise and diversion, enough of naps, perhaps, or concerts. ...Pointed Paragraphs...

Strong Copyright, 1905, by P. C. Eastment "Why, Stella, where is your ring?" Daisy seized the hand that was slipping itself under the bonbon box as if to conceal its nakedness. "Returned to the jeweler at a discount likely, or whatever fellows do with discarded engagement rings," Stella laughed, with some constraint. "You don't mean to say that you and Ned"— "Yes, I do!" Stella interrupted. "You might as well know it; everybody will soon." "I couldn't be more astonished if the sky had fallen! Why, you and Ned were the most utterly"— "Appearances are often deceitful." Stella observed, with a wise air, interrupting again. "I suppose you thought I was—well, as they say—entirely 'gone' on Ned." "That's right! Might one ask the whyfore?" "One might. We simply found that we were mistaken in our interest in each other. Isn't that sufficient?" "Sufficient, if true. But I don't believe it—not a little bit! Why, if there were ever a pair of turtle"— "You can believe it or not, but I am entirely and perfectly indifferent to Mr. Ned Whiting—and he returns it fully." "I don't believe it, when you two were so intensely devoted to—it's only a silly quarrel." "We did not quarrel," Stella asserted coldly. "And if you have observed his conduct with that plain, poky Lewis girl you cannot say much for his devotion to me." "I shouldn't call her exactly plain, though she isn't a beauty. And there may be reasons—besides, he has not been so very"— "He has been 'so very' that you have noticed it, I see." Stella interrupted sarcastically. "But she is visiting in town and has not many acquaintances here. I doubt if Ned has been more than polite. Did he explain?" "There was nothing to explain—there was absolutely nothing he could say A man and a woman in a room, the man seated in a chair, holding a newspaper, while the woman stands facing him, wearing a long dress with floral patterns.

I asked him to drop her, and if he had cared half as much for me as he professed to care he wouldn't have hesitated an instant. But of course it doesn't matter at all. I care as little for him as he does for me. Really, I did not realize till this hap- pened my indifference to him." She yawned elaborately, then added, with animation: "I am going on the loveliest trip with Charley in his new auto. I told Bell Smith all about it on purpose. I knew Mr. Whiting would hear of it." Her eyes snapped triumphantly. "Your ring was too exquisite," Daisy murmured regretfully. "Think of Laura Lewis carrying off such a trophy when she goes home!" Two Dinners "I have a lawyer I is not Henry Peck, said a city official. "Last week my wife to his house for never saw finer silv table, but food wa tide. My wife gave glance, and I saw the cheeks of our host, "I wonder if he will give it to her!" Stella started up angrily. "I would have pounded it to pieces before his face if I had dreamed of such a thing!" Then at Daisy's smile she leaned back, yawning again. "But of course it's nothing to me. Let her wear her old secondhand rings if she likes!" "Secondhand rings is good. I'll look out that the one I'm offered is not such." Daisy laughed. Stella's rejoinder was cut short by her small brother, who burst upon them excitedly, yelling: "Stell! Stell! What do you think! Ned Whiting's bicycle smashed into—where's mother? I've got to"—He vanished, heedless of the wild shrieks with which Stella received his news. "Oh, Billie! Billie! Is he killed? Is my Ned killed? Billie! Billie!" But Billie was flying down the street again. Evidently a terrible accident had befallen Ned Whiting. Stella fluttered about, wringing her hands, moaning: "Oh, Ned, Ned! Dead this minute—when I've been saying such horrible things of you—and lies, too, every one of them!" She suddenly snatched a hat and dashed away, oblivious of her kimono and slippers. She reached the corner just in time to be pulled aboard the crowded car, dizzy and breathless. "Near thing," the man next her remarked, examining her unusual attire curiously. "Hustling to see the game?" "It's a matter of life and death!" she sobbed hysterically. Exclamations of sympathy buzzed about her. One held her hat while she put up her hair. Another offered to stop the car at her destination. Where would Ned be? She had not thought of that. Not away out at his home on the other side of the city, there had not been time to remove—she could not finish the thought. She would go to his office. There seemed no other way of— She gazed in wide eyed horror as they swept into the vicinity. All was quiet, no commotion, not a sign of any accident. She could not wait for the elevator boy, but flew up the stairs and into the office. There sat—or was it his spirit? She dropped into a chair and stared dumbly at the astonished young man a moment, then tumbled over in a faint. Frightened almost out of his senses. Ned carried her to the couch. It seemed to him that nothing short of the annihilation of her home and family could account for her tumultuous appearance in such garb and her utter collapse. "Oh, Ned," she whispered weakly, rousing under his ministrations, "I thought you were killed! Billie said your bicycle—and— Oh, are you sure, sure that you are alive and uninjured?" She pulled herself up and considered him anxiously. "Billie! The little rascal! I wasn't touched. The wheel is smashed, but he knew I—it is one of his tricks! Just let me get hold of him, scaring you like this!" She remembered suddenly and made an effort to release herself, donning a freezing dignity. He laughed and held her closer. "Miss Mayne, I don't believe you do hate me so entirely as you imagined you did. Please let me put the ring upon that dear little finger again, and let me tell you that Laura and Cousin Dick—but it is a secret yet, and he asked me to pay her some attention while here." "Oh!" Stella ejaculated shametacedly, her eyes on the circle sparkling in its old place. "We were a couple of idiots! Billie served us right. We ought to thank him!" Ned declared. "Yes," she murmured humbly. "Well"- Two Dinners. One Meal. "I have a lawyer friend whose name is not Henry Peck, but it might be," said a city official. "Last week my wife and I were invited to his house for dinner, and you never saw finer silver and china on a table, but food was at extreme low tide. My wife gave me a significant glance, and I saw the color rise to the cheeks of our host, but he played the agreeable without a word or look of disapproval. "Both my wife and I were awfully hungry when we started for home, and she at once accepted my invitation to enter the first restaurant we saw for a good square meal. We were no sooner seated than we saw our dinner host come sneaking in and take a seat in an obscure corner. "Make believe that we don't see him," said my wife, with a woman's tact. We did make believe, and, the funny part is, so did our late host. By the friendly aid of a mirror I saw when he first observed us the color come to his cheeks, as it had at his own table. He turned as far from us as possible and ate as though he were not enjoying his meal very much."—New York Herald. The Word "Cafe." It is really difficult to understand how the word "cafe," a French term, has come into such general use in this country and how it happens that it is so grossly misapplied. The term means coffee, or a place where coffee is sold, and what relation there is between a coffee shop and a place where liquors are sold we are at a loss to know. It is not improbable that the idea comes from combinations of barrooms and restaurants, in the latter of which of course coffee is sold, but to our mind nothing seems more absurd or more emphatically marks the modern disposition to follow blind custom than sticking up on the window where only beer, liquor and wines are sold the word "coffee," and that in a foreign language. Were it not that an age of misnomer gives recognition to this anomaly we would just as soon the word "meat" or "bread" signalized places where liquors are sold. Either would have as much sense and logical application as "cafe."-Exchange. A. Delicate Position. Wedding presents are frequently distinguished for their uselessness, and giftmaking at any time is attended with some danger. A faithful Irish employee announced his desire to take a month's holiday to visit his brother. He had worked so well and steadily that his employee not only granted the request, but made him a present of a new traveling bag. The night before Tim was to leave he received the gift, accompanied by a few appreciative words. Tim stared at the bag for a moment and then asked, "What am I to do with that?" "Why, put your clothes in it when you go away, of course," answered the employer. "Put me clothes in it, is it?" said Tim. "An' phwat will Oi wear if Oi put me clothes in that?" White Worms In Fowls. There should be no difficulty in diagnosing this trouble, particularly when you find quantities of worms present in the excrement. Give a good mash food with which has been mixed a liberal amount of crushed garlic bulb. Carefully disinfect the droppings with a strong creolin solution, so that other members of the flock will not become infected. Afterward carefully clean up all excrement and burn it or bury it deeply. Just a Lie. "I once," said the colonel solemnly—"I once, and only once, had all thirteen trumps dealt me." "Er—I suppose you were the dealer," suggested a candid friend. "No, sir!" roared the colonel. "No, sir! I was not the dealer!" "Then may I ask what happened to the trump which the dealer turned up?" And a terrible silence ensued. just n Lie. Page 5 Why It Is Called Dutch Gap. When Ben Butler was endeavoring to get the Union gunboats up the James, he found the water in the bend at Dutch Gap too shallow to let them pass, to say nothing of the fact that the Confederates had erected two or three batteries along the bend in order to give him a warm reception. So he went ahead and cut a canal across the neck and suddenly, instead of being 25 miles from Richmond, he was only six. Ever since that time the canal has been used, and the government now considers it the channel of the river and keeps it in shape. The plantations along the land were thus suddenly drained of their very lifeblood and have naturally fallen into decay. The place is called Dutch Gap because at this spot, in early colonial days, a Dutchman worked a very smooth game upon the unsuspecting Indian. The Dutchman wagered the Indian that he could beat him paddling a canoe around the bend. The Indian took him up on the instant and gave him a mile the start. They started just above the bend, the Indian a mile behind, and when the Dutchman reached the neck he jumped on shore, grabbed his canoe out of the water, ran across to the other side with it, dropped it into the water again and calmly awaited the arrival of the astonished Indian, who had paddled frantically around the bend in the endeavor to catch up with him. What the wager was is not recorded, but the Dutchman doubtless got possession of 200,000 or 300,000 acres of land as a result of the trick.—Cor. Chicago Record. At Quito, the only city in the world on the line of the equator, the sun sets and rises at 6 o'clock the year round. How the Blood Moves In the Veins. The principal cause of the movement of the blood in the veins is what the physiologists refer to as "the pressure from behind." By this is meant the capillary circulation, or a movement of the blood caused by the constant pumping action of the heart, which forces the current into and through the veins. To prevent the engorgement of the veins—that is, to prevent their becoming so filled with blood that their resistance would counterbalance the pressure from the arteries—each pulsation of the heart by emptying the right ventricle allows a part of the blood accumulated in the veins to be removed. In this way the backward resistance in the veins is kept inferior to the pressure of the arterial circulation. The venous circulation is also greatly aided by the action of the voluntary muscles. It is a well known fact that when a muscle contracts it thickens and becomes diminished in length. The effect of this lateral swelling is to compress the veins lying between the muscles, thus forcing the blood forward. Another peculiarity is the half moon shaped valves with which the veins are well provided. These "semilunar" valves open only toward the heart, making any backward movement of the blood into the venous system impossible. The First Log Cabin In Kentucky. Harrodsburg, the county seat of Mercer county, Ky., was the scene in the latter part of the eighteenth century of some very exciting episodes in the history of the early settlers in the young state. On June 16, 1774, Captain James Harrod of Virginia, who had brought a party of settlers to the new country, laid off a town site at Big Spring camp, where they had erected the first cabin ever built in Kentucky. They allotted to each man a half acre lot and a ten acre out lot. The town's first name was Harrodstown, but later this was changed to Harrodsburg. A clearing was made in the east end of the town boundary, and here it was that John Harman planted and raised the first corn that was known to have been grown in the state. Only a few weeks after this auspicious beginning of the town's promoters four of Harrod's men were ambushed by Indians. Jared Cowan was killed. The other men escaped, only one of them being injured. November 16, 1906 PERSONAL NOTES. Mrs. W. J. Wylie is reported to be on the sick list this week. Mrs. Mary Hall has been seriously ill for the past week at her home at Green Lake.

Preperations are under way for a mock Tom Thumb wedding to be given on Monday evening, Nov. 26, at the A. M. E. Church. Miss Alma Clark who is attending school at Bellingham visited her parents in this city Monday. She has returned to school. Miss Willie Lee, Mr. C. C. Hancock and Mr. Gray spent Sunday in Tacoma and were most royally entertained by Mrs. N. J. Asbery. Heartly Drake, the 12-year-sld son of Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Drake, was brutally assaulted by a milk man, near the boy's home on Sunday morning. The boy bought a pint of milk and contended for his cent change, whereupon the man kicked and whipped the boy until a byestander took him off. A warrant has been issued for the driver. THE FISH FRY. The Fish Fry in the Wilderness given by the Stewardess at the 14th street A. M. E church was a decided success. They report $31.30 as profits.

By far the most important and significant meeting ever held in this city by members of our race, was held at the Afro-American hall on Monday evening. It was the second annual meeting of the Afro-American Realty & Investment Co. The report of the President, Mr. B. T. Tutt and the Treasurer, Mr. S. P. Debow, showed that the company was in a most flourishing and substantial condition. The reports showed a surplus of $2,022.42. There were seventeen stockholders present, and the others represented by proxy, and all were satisfied with their holdings and the management of the company. Messrs. S. P. DeBow, J. S. Peoples and I. F. Norris were unanimously re-elected trustees, B. F. Tutt re-elected president, and I. Israel Walker was made secretary and general manager. Mr. C. W. Peoples, the retiring secretary and manager was given a vote of thanks for his faithful work during the year just ended. The meeting was most harmonious and the company will doubtless become a financial power among our people in this city. --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN THE SUNDAY FORUM. A crowded house greeted the performers at the Sunday Forum and a most interested audience it was. Every one seemed to be alive to the importance of the subjects under discussion. The most encouraging feature is the interest the ladies are manifesting both in the program and in the general discussion. Much and lasting good will be accomplished if we can keep up the interest that is now being manifested. The subjects for discussion next Sunday are both of vital importance to us as a race. Mr. John Robinson will endeavor to point out the way we can successfully launch a business enterprise for our race in this city. Nothing now is of more importance, so each person is requested to think of something to say on the subject. The second topic is equally as important. Shall the Forum become a member of the Afro-American Business League? This subject will be introduced by W. C. Peoples and left for the audience to decide. Some very excellent music will be rendered in connection and a most enjoyable hour will be spent. Of last Sunday's program special mention should be made of the rendition by Anna Gay Reed of two original poems. If the advice given in the first was followed by our young men in five years they could be financially beyond want. Sunday, the 25th Inst., the action of our President in dismissing the Negro troops will be discussed. Go to a respectable place to borrow money on diamonds, jewelry and watches. Low rates.
