Laughing Song. Sing us a song full of laughter; Tune your harp and twang the strings Till your glad voice, chirping after, Mates the song the robin sings; Loose your lips and let them flutter Like the wings of wanton birds— Though they naught but laughter utter, Laugh, and we'll, not miss the words Sing in ringing tones that mingle In a melody that flings N Joyous echoes in a jingle Sweeter than the minstrel sings; Sing of winter, spring or summer, Clang of war, or low of herds; Trill of cricket, roll of drummer— Laugh and we'll not miss the words. Like the lisping laughter glancing From the meadow brooks and springs, Or the river's ripples dancing To the tune of current sings— Sing of now and the hereafter; Let the glad song, like the birds,' Overflow with limpid laughter— Laughi, and we'll not miss the words. STUNG! "Let me kiss those tears away! he begged tenderly. She fell for it and was busy for the next 15 min uter, and yet the tears flowed on. "Can nothing stop them?" he asked, breathlessly sad. "Nope," she murmured. "It's hay fever you knew. Bnt go on with the treatment."—Cleveland Leader. POPULATION IN NEW STATE. CENSUS BULLETIN CONTAINS INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT OKLAHOMA. NO NEGROES IN TWO COUNTIES. Munkogee County Has More Negroes Than Any Other County Total Indian Population Is 75,012.—Whites Predominates by a Large Majority.—Voting Strength Summary Muskogee, Okla., Dec. 9.—The bulletin of the census bureau showing the tabulated result of the special census of Oklahoma and Indian Territory contains some interesting information relative to the distribution of population in the new state. The bulletin shows that Old Oklahoma has 688,418 white persons, 31,511 Negroes, 13,087 Indians. Indian Territory is credited with 538,512 white, 80,649 Negroes, and 61,825 Indians. This makes a total Negro population of only 112,160, a possible voting strength of 22,432, and a total Indian population of 75,012, a possible voting strength of 15,002. Figured on the same basis there would be 245,386 white voters. The Negro and Indian vote has always been considered a very important figure in the elections, but these comparisons show that the Indian and Negro vote is so light that it does not constitute the political bugaboo that it has received credit for. The above figures on comparative voting strength are merely to show the relative voting strength, as the bulletin does not separate the races in the figures that give the total number of male persons over the age of 21 years. According to the bulletin the total number residing in the state old enough to vote legally is 379,498. There are two counties in the state, Harper and Roger Mills, in which there is not a Negro resident. Logan County in Okla., has the largest Negro population on that side of the state, being credited with 7,631, while on the SEDALIA, MO., MONDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1907. Indian Territory side leads with 11,773 Negroes. There are only eight Japanese residents within the entire state while the Mongolian race is cr. Dited with 75 residents. Prof. C. C. HUBBARD, PRIN. LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL. Prof. Hubbard leads the local committees having in charge the entertainment of the Teachers' Association that convenes here in on the 26-28 of December. He ranks with the foremost High School Educators in the Imperial State of Missouri. Good Word from Ohio League for Senator Foraker The executive and advisory committees of the Ohio League of Republican Clubs, has endorsed Senator Joseph Benson Foraker for re-election to the Senate and for the republican nomination for President of the United States. The Committee also declares that they have no sympathy whatever with the proposition that has been advanced that Senator Foraker be eliminated and retired from public life because he was not able to agree with the President as to the rate bill or joint statehood for New Mexico and Arizona, or about the Brownsville matter. Tney said: "We believe he was right, and we thoroughly approve of his action in demanding that helpless solored soldiers of the 25th United States infantry, who had served their country with valor and distinction, should be given an opportunity to testify in FRIENDS OF THE NEGRO. THE LATE DR. MONCURE CONWAY THE LAST CONSPICIOUS FIGURE IN THE ANTI-SLAVERY AGITATION. Not many of the men who were conspicuous in the anti-slavery agitation of the days before the Civil War are living today. Dr. Moncure Daniels Conway, who died in Paris on last Friday night, was one of the last and most interesting members of that band. Unlike most of abolitionists, he was not a Yankee, but a Southerner. He began as a believer in slavery, and gradually moved to the other side of the great controversy. He was a slavery man who rose to better things. His father was a descendant of the Washington family; a member of the Virginia legislature and for 35 years a Virginia county judge. Young Conway began his career as a lawyer, then went their own defense, that they were not guilty of the crime which they were charged, and for which they had been discharged without honor. Entertaining these views, we send him greetings and assure him as he returns to his labor at Washington that he has our unqualified confidence and esteem, and we not only pledge him our loyal support for his re-election to the Senate, but we further declare that he is our choice as the Republican candidate for President of the United States.

He got acquainted with Hicksite Quakers, his faith in Methodism and slavery was was impaired. he studied Emerson and corresponded with him, the result was he became an Unitarian. From 1854 to '57 he was pastor of the Unitarian church at Washington, but his sermons against slavery compelled him to leave it. He went to Cincinnatti and when the war broke out he went thru the North making addresses in favor of the emancipation of the slaves as the true weapon of liberty and union. In spite of rough opposition, he perserved in his course, and helped forward the emancipation by pub'hing some widely tracts. When the Federal lines reached beyond where his father's slaves were, he gathered the Negroes to gether and colonized them in Ohio. He moved to Concord and became editor of the Boston Commonwealth, the emancipation paper, 1863; and tinally went to England, like Beecher, and as a speaker and a writer he did much to clear English views on the subject of war. This young man—he was still in the early '30s is sure of the respect remembrance among the the friends of the Negro.—Buffalo, (N. Y.) Express.

(Nene genuine without my signet "ISB B, MINE BT, ; og Alpes jade.at he: ip "Judy is my chief anxiety," wrote Judy's mother, Mrs. Phoebe Follanabee, her sister, Miss Jerry Pringle. "Just as soon as we knew that the bank in which we had deposited our little all and failed, Ethel went to work in the draw factory and Hetty is learning dressmaking. I am sorry to say that Judy is still a little flighty—very fond of pretty clothes, and not so sensible to the others. Judy must help, but I don't know what she can do." "Judy! Fudge! I suppose she means Susan Jane," said Miss Pringle to herself. "Well, I can't have her here, and that settles it." Nevertheless, this is the letter that made its way by the next day's mall to the small gray house, under the shadow of a great bald-pate mountain, where poverty had flown in at the door: "Dear Sister Phoebe: I have been thinking that it would be handy to have a spry young girl to help me in the store. But she must be sensible and have good judgment, besides being spry, because I may want to send her to the city to buy goods. If you think your youngest, Susan Jane, can learn to do as I want her to, send her along." "Sense and good judgment! Why, Judy won't do!" exclaimed Hetty, with sisterly frankness, when she read the letter. This seemed the general opinion of the family, but nevertheless it was decided that Judy should go. "They don't think I am good for anything," said Judy to herself. "But they shall see." She looked back through the blinding tears at the little gray house. There were handkerchiefs waved from it as long as the stage was in sight. Hosy, the only boy, who was 'tame, waved his cap on the end of his crutch. "You're not pretty, and that looks as if you might have some sense," said aunt Jane, by way of greeting. But he parrot was polite and entertaining, and the little dry goods shop fascinating, and Poppleton's main street was way. Slowly, but surely, Judy's spirits rose. Of course the new assistant made some mistakes. But she rearranged the shop windows to the great satisfaction of her aunt, who was inwardly conscious that she herself was not "tasty," and lacked an eye for color. And she advanced several new ideas which Miss Tringle instantly recognized as improvements. Christmas was coming—an anxious time in shopkeeping—and Aunt Jane was educating her niece up to a great undertaking. She had long dreaded the necessary trip to the city for goods, on account of the faintness that was apt to come upon her when she was in crowds, and now she was beginning to think that she might trust Judy to go her stead. Judy's taste could certainly be trusted and she was self-reliant and a ready kickener. With a definite and exact list of the articles wanted, Miss Pringle decided that her niece could go to the city and buy the Christmas goods. "There are always Christmas novels and attractive bargains," she said. "I am going to give you $20 extra and leave the purchases to your discretion." What would they say at home? Judy felt several inches taller as she walked so the station. The list first. It was long and uninteresting. Experience had taught Aunt Jane just what kinds of fancy soaps and candy baskets would sell best and those articles were all set down in rigid detail. But while she was making these unreciting purchases, Judy's heart and eyes were all the time wandering in search of the fascinating Christmas novelty, by which she meant to convince Aunt Jane of her business talent. It was when she was buying a piece of red cashmere that she caught sight of a brilliant parasol. A salesman removed it from its casing and suspended it conspicuously above the counter; it was of red silk with elaborate flounings of chiffon like loveliest gossamer. Tudy gazed upon it in breathless admiration. Another parasol was suspended beside the first; this was of palest blue with white floundings. There was one half of chiffon—"old rose," the clerk called the color (it was unknown to Crow Hill). Its handle was of twisted wood that gave out a faint, delicous perfume. "Selling at retail for a song. Don't want to keep them over because white is going to be the rage next year," explained the clerk to some one who remarked that it was unusual to see parasols at Christmas. "Six and seven-dollar parasols—all for a dollar and a half." Judy tried to be practical—not to let her esthetic sense run away with her "business bump." She knew her weakness for a parasol and a fan; they had laughed about it at home. But other people liked beautiful parasols. They would add the touch of color and grace that it was always impossible to obtain with Miss Pringle's sternly useful commodities. She believed, too, that they would stand her aunt's crucial test of values, that they would sell! A crowd of women was collecting sound the parasols, which the clerk was still hanging up. "I will take 13," said Judy, firmly, and her heart beat like a trip-hammer. The crowd gazed at her; even the clerk looked astonished. "Parasols! Thirteen parasols in the dusk of winter! Sunnies Sense Gobblers Bee, are you crazy?" asked Aunt Jane, shrilly. "I couldn't sell a parasol any way unless it was a good, wet black scarf." THE MUSEUM GEORGE R.

The only trace of Caucasian blood in her ancestry is from the white husband of a fat-off semi barbarian" princess," of which Miss Warrick claims to be a descendant. But her ancestors of recent generations were slaves and she, was a truck gardener's child in the environs of Philadelphia. The art critics have enthusiastically declared that she bids fair to out Kedin the French master, who has so signally befriended her with his counsel. The negrophobes would probably think that M. Robin, of whom they self respect to receive Miss Warrick as a pupil, but M. Robin is himself hailed as the Michael Angelo of to day. When he permits anyone to call on him, it must be some one of artistic account, and when he calls on anyone, that one's artistic standing is assured. Miss Warrick is a sculptress of the group at the Jamestown Exposition depicting the progress and development of the Negro race since the first Negroes were landed at Jamestown in 1619. This group has been highly praised though it was executed with such haste that it can hardly be fairly compared with her other works. She has had the distinguished honor of two examples of her work in the Paris Saloon in one year. She delights in the horrible, the tragic and the grotesque. As a student her best piece was a head of Medusa, and among her most famous pieces is "The Thief on the Cross." She has not yet attempted a bust of Senator Tillman or of the Rnu, Thomas Dixon. Miss Warriocks career is one of inspiration to the race to which she belongs, and though she is only an individual, yet her achievements go a long way toward refuting the declaration of such authors as Dr. R. W. Schufeldt, whose recent book is entitled "The Negro a Menace to American Civilization," and who have not yet learned that injustice and oppression are greater menaces to civilization than those who are the victims there-of.

FIVE Monster HOLIDAY Jollifications AT THE ARMORY December, 25, 26, 27, 30 and January 1 Under the Auspices of the SEDALIA WEEKLY CONSERVATION would have been pleased to have been down upon the house with her smiling wife. She accompanied the woman down for the old college building on the corner, and somehow she had to go her dressier one of the patio-room one—in the shop window. Aunt Jude said she should expect to be sent to the innane mylum, having a parcel in her shop window in December, but she was as discouraged that she did not care. The parasol had been in the window only an hour or two when Aunt Jane was thrown into a fighter by the sight of a very stylish young woman crossing the street. "It's Miss Betty Armstrong!" she declared. "I heard the family had some, with a lot of visitors, to spend the holidays. That great house on the air is where they spend their summers. I'll leave you to wait on her, because I didn't dressed up." Aunt Jane hurried into the back room, but she left the door ajar. "I want to look at that parasol—it's such a lovely shade!" said Miss Betty, Armstrong, who had come rustling in, accompanied by a tall young man. "And what a delightful handle!" she added, as Judy passed it across the counter. Judy was glad Aunt Jane had left the door ajar. "We ought to have decorations like this for the girls to carry in the minstrel show," said Miss Betty. It's too bad we didn't think of it. "I—I have a few more." The color rushed to Judy's temples and her heart thumped as she drew from the packing case under the counter, one after another, the parasols she had thought she would never care to look at again. "They'd be lovely for favors. All!" murmured Betty, admiringly. "And to give the girls who take part in the tableau." "Seven dollars—wh-e-w!" The young man had seen the price marked on the "old rose" parasol. "Discount for the lot, I suppose!" he added to Judy. Judy made figures on a piece of paper, knitting her brows; she was trying to calculate how much profit her conscience would allow her to take. Aunt Jane, so carried away by excitement as to peep through a crack, regarded her hesitation as business diplomacy. Judy still reckoned with an anxious brow, divided between her desire to justify her "business bump" in Aunt SHE DREW OUT THE PARASOLS. Jane's eyes, and her determination to do what was known at Crow Hill as "the square thing." "They were bought at a bargain," she said at last, in a faint, but firm, voice. "I can sell you the whole for $40." The bargain was very soon concluded, and then Miss Betty was suddenly seized with curiosity. "It doesn't seem like Miss Pringle to keep parasola," she said, looking around. Judy told her customer that she had purchased them, and being drawn out of herself perhaps by the excitement of good fortune, told her how she wanted to help them all at home. Miss Betty was very kind and sympathetic, and before she went away asked Judy to come to her house to the minstrel show on Christmas night, and bring her aunt. "They never asked me before, though they've asked lots of Poppleton fika." said Aunt Jane, a little resentfully. That was after she had collapsed upon the lounge again, this time for pure delight and without the vell. They went to the entertainment and had a delightful time. Miss Betty sought Judy in an interval between the performances. She said she had been thinking of what Judy had told her about wanting to be good for something, and make happier times at home, and she thought she knew of something that would be profitable, and would not interfere with the shop-keeping. Her father was a manufacturer of toys, and from his establishment work was given out; work that required only taste and a little knack at sewing—the covering of the dolls' parasols and canopies for dolls' carriages and the dressing of dolls. It was profitable work, and if Judy would like to try, Miss Betty thought she could manage to get her the opportunity. If she would like it! Judy swallowed what seemed to be a whole bucketful of tears and let one roll off her nose by answer; and Miss Betty perfectly understood. It was not long before a packing-case traveled regularly between Miss Pringle's store and Mr. Armstrong's great manufactory, and Judy did work that she loved, that brought her as much money as all Aunt Jane's shop-keeping. It was not much longer before a case of dolls' straw hats traveled regularly from Ethel's hands to the same manufactory, and Ethel's toil was lighter and her pain heats in consequence. Judy has dreams of a firm in which Ethel and Betty and she will be part-owners, who is at present under a management and business-will be the management and business-will be
