IN THE TRACK OF THE TOW BY ALBERT W. TOLMAN. AM what many people call a 'vanguard' of the many water. Among the pleashest hours of my life are those long Island Sound. Nothing glove me greater delight than the shores and there lie my ears dreaming, marking the play watching the vessels and steamers glide Although without a watch, I knew that it must be on well toward midnight. It must have been in a very dangerous condition, not because I expected any trouble in finding it, but I expected it to be a tussle of tussle and steamers. I shivered at the thought of the peril to which I had been exposed while white steam. Beneath that shroud out and might have been beaten lifeless, I was able to be being the wiser for it. I listened to the whistles speaking to one another through the fog. The general course of all the whistles of a woman endangering myself, I could approach a tow of barges near enough to see when they were in the water, and determine the quarters of the commissar; if the boats were loaded I knew that they were in a way approaching us on their way back to New York. Oo-oo-ooh! Oo-oo-ooh! The increased loudness of a waving approach. Lying on my cars, I waited, prepared to row forward quickly or to stay near and near came the tooting, and I could hear the rush of water meeting the shore. Suddenly, twenty feet away approached a black stem, steaming rapidly through a bog. It the turt sweet by I caught a glimpse of a tow-rose dragging over the stern, and I saw her crying. Kry had two cool-laden barges behind her. I could hear the voices of the men on board, and I saw the black shadow passed; it was the first barge, loaded low in the water; after her at an intertie, some another; after her at the bridge, some another; heading east, and that the shore therefore lay in front of me. I settled myself on the thwart and braced my feet for the So interested had I been in my calculations that I whistles that occurred shortly after the passage of the tow. Hence I was always on the other boat approaching through the fog from the opposite direction to escape being blinded down by a tug that was making the water fly as she swam. I caught the splash of a rope, and waited. So came the huge black canopy of the water. It posed so near that I backed another stroke to be out of the water following it. Soon I heard another tow rope whipping the surface, and I listened for several seconds, but hearing no further sound, I bent to my left, seeing sure that there were more barges. I had gone perhaps thirty feet when something caught the cable rose squirtly beneath the boat, snapping it into the air. As my boat sizzed, the cable rose again, shooting me out. When I went under I lost my grip on the oars, and on the hands frantically in about the hope of finding them. I inches above the water my fingers encountered something round and wet, and closed about it. I was capsized by a third barge had been towing after the other two, and its hawker had proved that I was I knew that the only thing for me to do the lamer was once to one of the lamer before my sister became a wolf of mine the reader behind me was proceeded me a little every time I let me The image shows a woman standing in a room with a plain wall. She is wearing a checkered dress with a white headscarf. The dress has a long skirt and a fitted top. She is holding a bouquet of flowers in her left hand, which consists of white and pink flowers. The woman appears to be posing for the photograph. Wearled by my efforts, I felt that I could never climb that steep hill. I could not be heard above the rushing foam. Despairing at last of attracting me, my only chance was to ascend the hawser. I was fairly strong in the arms and hands, but the feet would have been an easy one. In my present state it seemed a tremendous task. My life hung on my power to lift my hand over hand. If I let go, the bargain Jaggerman, drowning me at once, I began the ascent. The rope tightened, lifting me so that it grew loose, and I was submerged to the waist. I was now far below the water. I inch by inch I drew once. More the hawser tightened, and I hung suspended over the surge being dragged back, blackened, and I allowed the stem. This continual motion was my worst trouble. I was clamped much more than I could.

Then I would resolutely put out of my mind the thought of being alone, and I would immediately attention on the handheld immediately before me. When by a heartbeat I thought of being alone, I alight on the next, and so on. Thus little by little, I progressed, crowling upwards. At last I was almost up to the "chocks" through which the hawks flew, and I knew that I could never clamber on board, so that my head came for an instant above the bulwarks, and looked into it, so that my head was not than three feet away.

"I would shoot the burgomaster." was the stold reply. "Oh!" said Dr. Lueter, "and what is it? "I am a protester," said Dr. Lueter, "only slightly surprised at year," said the burgesmaster.

Last week in Pittsburgh, Kan., an Afro-American was lynched by a mob, and two days later it was discovered that he was innocent of the charge which cost him his life. If the law had been allowed to take its proper course his life would not have been taken. Now every member of that mob is particeps criminis in the murder of an innocent man. It matters not what whites may think or believe about the matter, Afro-Americans are human beings with souls just as themselves, and should be treated as they themselves would be treated. They claim that God is a just God, then how can they hope to miss the just punishment for their crimes. In the account in the daily papers the greatest stress was laid upon the fact that the "Gully Negro Escaped"; not that a lot of so-called superior people had murdered an innocent man, prompted by their assinine prejudice against color. We too believe God is just, and that punishment for such crimes will be meted out by Him, whose Son said: "it is better that ten guilty ones escape, rather than one innocent be made to suffer." The Southern Caucasians treat the dead Afro-American body servant with great respect. What is needed is the just treatment of the good Afro-American citizen while he is alive.

In her foreword, Miss Laughlin says: "I am a woman of love and women who wrote is an easily understandable curiosity. In large part, these women have felt that those men and women; their written ideals of love have set the standard for women who write so oft times blood not so young) coursing through the veins in a swift current; women who write so oft times heart not so young) with beating desire to love, to be loved, to be and forbear, give and forgive in love's name; women who write so oft times heart and hearts that once were young should wish to know in what manner those men and women would be, to be a wife, a real true wife, to any man—his eternally forcaded soul's complement—is a mission calling for the gifts and graces vouchsafed to woman. * * * All this being true of the wife of a woman, it is a man of genius; perhaps it is no wonder so many women have failed in this of all it entails. First is the peaceful love of Tennyson. One can but think it was to his first love, the woman he wrote the lines in "The Princess: To love one mademain only, cleave to her heart. To love her heart, cleave to her heart. Until they win her win; for indeed I know that I love her love; for indeed I know that I love her love. Tennyson kept faith with his malden passion and so did Emily Sellwood and on one occasion he published a "In Memoriam," there was a wedding, "of the quietest" in Shikaple churches, "of the most beautiful churches," Miss Mitford says, "which give so much of character to English lands." It is probably true of most women that their first ideals of love are of some one all, for some one to love supremely, as they grow older, their cry is first of all, for some one to love supremely. The man who can do most for her, the man who can do most for her, the man ideal is the man she can do most for—that is never supplanted. The woman heart is divinely on service, on sacrifice.

If that its purpose the anthology might have greater value for historical students of literature, but for the average reader it would be more appropriate.

It has been widely apart as the rollingick ballads of widely apart as the rollingick ballads of verses of Locker-Lampon, and of grotesque comicality of Gilbert and the curious from Couch, Chand, and Word there has been a tempt to discriminate between humorous and narrow sense, and society verse, epigram, and selections vary from broadly comic to humorous.

The classification results from the fact that the chief monuments are religious and those of the Renaissance, secular or domestic. There were, of course, there are a few Renaissance France châteaux, but a large proportion of the Gothic châteaux are all immodulated or destroyed at the beginning of the Renaissance period, and the Renaissance period is one of the great medieval style architectural building. The earliest monuments of a people have always been religious. The great medieval style of developed in France was the Gothic, consequently its first and most important mon- jummees were churches.

ON AN IRISH JAUNTING CAR B. On the Jaunti Jaunting-Car. By S. G. Bonatropomy. Illustrated. $1.25. New York University Press. Mr. Jayne must be a very observing man, for in his account of his amusing experiences he notes many things never before made public by a traveler through the Emerald Valley. Mr. Bayne was greatly pleased with the modern Irish jaunting car which he tells the vehicle invented for an easy and compact two-seater car, anced by two passengers and a driver. If one may not take the actual journey to the Mountains, they can follow Mr. Hayne's lines to the bluffs of Lough Swilly, where the Atlantic booms are covered with blooming heather and the sapphire of blooming heather and the hornhead, where the range of beetling mountains projects some ten miles into the valley. The range covers over 600 feet high and displaying all the beauty of the landscape, to red, yellow, gray, purple aur green; or to Lough Velgh, where an almost perennial bloom is nearly covered with Alpine vegetation. Over the top of this wall several large hills, the most beautiful beauty is the malacic Doolich standing 600 feet high. Referring to the numerous churches, forts, beehive cells and monastic ruins, Ireland has a rich tradition covered. Ireland calls attention to the fact that Ireland in the early ages was the home of the literati, where scholars came to learn and to teach all that was then known. The lands should have been selected as the seat of learning when so many more connoisseurs were selected. His explanation is that these islands selected because of their remoteness, of seclusion and better protection from the rains that had drenched Ireland for centuries.

Mr. Harris tells the story of the boyhood of Gabriel Tolliver, a grained youngster in the Georgia hamlet of Shady Dale. He grows up along with her meaning by that only that she is the principal female character—Tasma Tid, the girl of Gabriel Tolliver and several other of the characters with whom the readers of Mr. Harris's southern nothing extraordinary, except to get mixed up with the Union league—the time is war—and the principal episode of the story has to do with his escape from prison, maraged by the inimitable Billy Sanders. There will be many who can muster only a few characters, and a natural humility Billy is one of Mr. Harris's best characters—quant, and a natural humility Gabriel at last, is a real girl, full of moods, but full of life and love as well. Billy is one of Mr. Harris's best characters are throughed with real people, black and white, and because Mr. Harris brings the scenes are laid, evidently is a replica of his own boyhood home, and one can see himself and Gabriel Tolliver and Frank Beume for certain boyhood companions.

It gives many facts which are at variance with the common knowledge of the city on the Danube as to be somewhat startling. The impression is very general. The estimate of the relative proportions of the various nationalities in the city of Vienna and the Germans as one-fourth of the total population. Vienna possesses for many students of municipality a rich and varied city, it carries suggestions of stirring times in the mediaeval period and in later years in great fashion, a city of mysterious charm because of the unhappy fate which lights the eye with its architectural and artistic features. It entices to close study in short, well worthy of such a work as this, a detailed description of the physical and social conditions which contribute to its peculiarly distinct atmosphere. It is only when the tourist could see Vienna as it needs to be seen, at close range and in minute detail, that the tourist could see the visitor at every turn, and parts of the city were shut off from inspection. Nowadays the stranger save the private life of the sovereign and the court and of the citizens.

St. Paul has the credit of being the healthiest city in the world. The death rate for 1902 was only 9.42 per- sons in a thousand. ‘There were 1,602 deaths in the city. More men than women died, and more males than females were born, More single persons than married’ died. There were 1,682 marriages. There were 3,288 births. ‘The young ladies of the B. K. Bruce Club gave a sleighing party one-night last week, and on returning to the residence of Miss Ella Charleston they indulged in a sumptuous repast, fol lowed by dancing, all having a de- lightful time, Among those present were: Misses N. Brown, Carrie Mills, Laura Cotton, Crystal Teabeau, An- nie Shappard, Mary Harwell, Laura Anderson, Lula Mills, Florence Cotton, Florence Bodenhamer, Sadie Thomas, Ella Charleston, Messrs. W. Alston, R. Stewart, C. Oliver, M. Dorch, W. Smith, J. Combs, C. Thomas, 8. Oliver, W. Dodson, F. Folks, C. Charleston, W. Haynes, H.

Porter was called and said that death resulted from heart disease. Mr. Gould was sitting on the bed in her room, laugh- ing with her daughter's children, when seized with intense pain, and she called for a drink. Mrs. Pryor hur. rled.to another room for a glass of water. When she returned. Mrs. Gould’ was unconscious. Dr.’ Porter was called, but Mrs. Gould was dead when he ‘arrived...

It seemed to be the right thing at the might time. From the introduction to the “Song of Vic- tory” there was a pleasing harmony which was reflected by the audience in continuous applause. ‘The chorus, while not well balanced, was musical and in ‘perfect control. ‘Mrs. Minor as a director was ex- ceedingly graceful; her’ solo, “Three Visions,” was well rendered, but the audience seemed disappointed “when no encore was forcncoming. ‘The other soloists, Mr. A. W. Hayneg,. Miss Hattle Loomis, Miss ‘Washington, Mr. W. T. Francis and ‘Mrs, W. T. Francis, sang their parts very musically. ‘Miss Washingtcn’s voice showed particularly good quality and articula- tion, but her singing lacked the spirit of her,song. Mrs. W. D. Carter, con- tralto, was immensely pleasing and deserving of mention. The violin so- los of Mr, Alexander Strutzel and Mr. ‘William Robison were very well ren- dered, each one responding to an en- core. ‘To. Mrs. W. T.

Lovers of classic drama are prom- ised a treat at the Grand Opera House next week when Robert Mantell comes with a company said to be unusually strong -in a repertoire of romantic dramas. Mr, Mantell has done much towards demonstrating the fact that the public is far from being tired of legitimate dramas and talent to properly present them. So far this season Mr. Mantell and’ one or two others in the legitimate field have had no reason to complain of poor Patronage. Some have claimed that a revolution against the modern s0- ciety drama has already taken place yy ee Bf eas aus} hee oe Komen: anne: : and that classic drama will soon again have a run of popular favor. Be this as it may, the box office, with never failing certainty shows which way the theatrical wind blows, and the advance sale indicates big” business. During Mr. Mantell’s visit here he will present these successes. Sun- day, Monday and Tuesday nights he wail present the romantic drama in which -he appeared with so much suc- ‘cess three seasons ago, “The Dagger and the Cross.”. At the Wednesday matinee, this being the only perform- ance of this play during his engage- ment, Mr. Mantell “will he seen in “The Lady of Lyons.” Wednesday and Thursday nights'{ne bill will be <‘Monbars” and FHidey and Satdrday Lights ‘and: at the.

The callers were hospitably entertained at almost ev- ery house, but special preparations were made in many cases, the most taotable of which were: Mrs. Richard H.

The gentle men who made up tne several calling parties quite generally wore full dress. The weather was fine, and the day was most delightfully spent. It is safe to look forward to a more general observance of the time honored cus: tom next year. REV. IRL R. HICKS 1903 ALMANAC.

This club, organized for the purpose of pleasure, will try to make its entertainments the most select given. The next entertainment will be a musical; to be given in January, at which the club will be assisted by the "Country Maldens Club." Quinn Chapel had its annual Christmas ship Christmas night, and an excellent force comedy, entitled "The Conviction" was enjoyed by all. The parts were all well acted, especial credit being due Misses Helen Holmes and Maude Williams. Dr. Cress, as "The Professor," also made a decided hit. The solo by Miss Maude Williams was highly appreciated. The ball given by the "Business Men and Bachelors," was a success. Much credit is due this body of young men, as they are striving to do more than "have a good time" on a salary of $3 or $4 per week with tips. They have the privilege of working in the salubrious of Chicago, and if this undertaking proves successful it will give employment to a number of young men and women.

Under the leadership of Prof. Arnant, the Eighth Regiment band has arrived at a stage of proficiency acquired by but few, if any, Afro-American musical organizations in the country. They now have under consideration a new leader, Horace Brady, "none in the suring. Horace Brady, better known among the members as "Pap," is the mascot, and has been leader of several first-class bands. Tuskegee Institute Notes. The substantial addition to the Slater-Armstrong Memorial Trades building is rapidly nearing completion and will accommodate all of the trades not housed there now. The Tuskegee football eleven was again victorious in a hard fought game with the Atlanta Baptist Seminary eleven Dec. 13th.

Concerning Shoes, WITH every step, the sole of your shoe must bend. The proper place for it to bend is at the "ball" of the foot—never at the instep. To make it bend at the "ball" things are necessary:—the sole must be extremely flexible while the shank or arch must be extremely rigid. Most shoes bend at the shank, thus losing their shapeliness and tiring the weak arch of the foot. That is what makes walking for most women so fatiguing. The "Dorothy Dodd" shoe has a shank that the weak arch firmly. It will not bend. The method of the shank is different from the ordinary—it is sewn and through—making a strong, firm shank than cannot need any other way. It has a sole that is extremely and will bend.

The method of sewing the shank is different from the ordinary—it is sewn through and through—making a strong, firm shank than cannot be obtained any other way. It has a sole that is extremely flexible and will bend. Established 1882. The Plymouth Plymouth Corner, Seventh and Robert. The Plymouth The Plymouth Corner, Seventh and Robert.
