VOL.XXXII NCS SPITTOON WASHERS SPITTOON WASHERS Cunningham Replies CUNNINGHAM VS. JACKSON Thinks Jackson's Argument Weak. Editor of The Bee: Under the caption "Cunningham Scare" I have just read a very amusing little epistle from the pen of one Mr. James Conway Jackson in answer to a letter written by me and published in The Bee of a recent date. When I wrote the letter, Mr. Editor, I very little dreamed that I was disclosing a professional Negro Republican spittoon washer in the person of my good friend Mr. James Conway Jackson. I see nothing worthy of notice in Mr. Jackson's letter, save perhaps the last paragraph, which reads as follows: "Enough of this spittoon business, Mr. Editor. If I keep it up this hot weather I will soon be nothing but a big ball of expectoration myself." There you are! Mr. Jackson tells us plainly that he too is "in the business," but, unlike the Negro Democrats, he has "hopes" at least of getting "something better." My sympathy goes out for Mr. Jackson in his "hopes" of getting a "better place" before he turns to a ball of expectoration. But I wish to remind Mr. Jackson that the Negro Republican spittoon washers haven't any monopoly on "hopes" of "something better." The Democratic Negro has as much right to "hope" as anybody else — even though he fails to get the things hoped for, as is the case with many of his Republican friends. J. C. Cunningham. ATTACKS NEGRO JOURNAL The Article The Times Refused to Publish. To the Editor of The Times: I always look up The Times Mail Bag in reading The Times, as I find some of the letters very interesting and instructive. That letter of Mr. J. Cunningham's of the 15th inst. would be very amusing, were it not so misleading. In berating "the colored newspapers," lest they lead their people wrong, he seems to have overlooked the fact that friendship does not depend on political affiliations, a fact that has been emphasized by Mr. Taft, a Republican President, appointing Democrats as members of his cabinet. Friend, according to Webster, means one joined to another by affection; an intimate; a confidant, if such ties then bound the white and colored people of the South. It was but natural for the colored people when freed (or turned loose in the big road, as Mr. Cunningham expresses it) to look to those to whom the ties of friendship had bound them for so many years. And why not? Had not their fathers and mothers been toiling, yea and giving their life blood that these same white friends might enjoy a life of ease and luxury? As to who was or is the colored people's best friend — the very best friends, both North and South, are those who care not one whit whether they are Democrats or Republicans so long as they are good, industrious, law-abiding citizens. But this is not a question of friendship; it is a question of political parties and human rights and as to choosing between the Democratic and Republican parties. It is but natural for the colored folk to vote with the party that keeps ajar the door of hope, that the Democratic party South has been trying their best to close against them. Oh; yes, Mr. Cunningham, the Democratic party certainly does produce men who are not afraid to speak—the Democrats South spoke some time ago, and the majority of the colored voters South were disfranchised; they spoke again, and the colored folk South are riding in Jim Crow cars; the Democrats South are speaking now, and city after city in the South is passing segregation laws, meaning that the colored people are not good enough to even live in the same neighborhood with white folk. Yes, by all means, let the colored folk vote for a well-bred Republican Democratic gentleman to occupy the seat in the White House in 1912. James Conway Jackson. VARDAMAN REDIVIVUS From Cleveland (Ohio) Plaindale. From Cleveland (Ohio) Plainlandaler. Vardaman of Mississippi, who may be said to outrank either Tilman or Jeff Davis as an exponent of senseless and dangerous race hatred, is said to be making progress in his race for election to the United States Senate. The last time Vardaman waxed senatorially ambitious Mississippi showed her predominating good sense by defeating him. But the man has an undeniably large following in the State, and his aspirations are always dangerous. The "Négrophobe" who flourished abundantly a decade or more ago seems to be becoming a less important social factor. He is no longer found among the thinking men of the South. Even those Southerners who are strongly opposed to social or even political equality between the races now look with repugnance upon a demagogue who continually exploits race prejudice as his chief political stock in trade. For some time after his election to the Senate Mr. Tillman stood as the most prominent exponent of Negrophobia. But Mr. Tillman is astute, and in time he discovered that the notoriety he derived from his rabid utterances in no way added to his reputation as a statesman or furthered his personal ambitions. Of recent years Mr. Tillman has much modified his manners and softened his speech. The result has been added usefulness as a Senator and a higher standing in the respect of the nation. It would really be no joke to send such a man as Vardaman to the United States Senate. The State that sent him would be disgraced, the tone of the Senate would be lowered, and the nation humiliated. MR. RALPH W. TYLER, The Man Who is Making a Good Record FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS NEWS. Last Monday evening a large number of Washington's best people and those from neighboring sub-divisions journeyed to Fajrmount Heights to attend the Sixth Annual Outing and Moonlight Picnic given by the Fairmount Heights Citizens' Association in their new and most beautiful of picnic groves. As usual, the best efforts were put forth, and to say the affair was quite a success is putting it very mildly. The Wilberforcian Orchestra, under the personal direction.ofProf. J. S. Hunnicutt, enlivened the occasion with its many popular airs and "rags," and a look of horror and regret pervaded the faces of the many dancers when the orchestra played "Home, Sweet Home." Swinging, hitting the bull's eye and other forms of rational amusement were indulged in. The committee, having entire charge of the affair consisted of W. S. Crouse, chairman; R. S. Nichols, W. B. Måkel, W. A. Brooks, J. F Armstrong, J A. Campbell, W. S. Pittman, F. Coalman and A. E. Briscoe. A committee of ladies, consisting of Mesdames A. J. Ware, P. M. W. WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D.

In the meanwhile Woodrow Wilson is playing to all factions, endorsing everybody and everything. He is for free wool, but approves the 20 per cent duty. He is both for and against the initiative, referendum and recall, in fact he is for and against anything and everything, according to his audience. Mr. Bryan is still to be heard from regarding Wilson. PRESIDENT,COMPLIMENTS HIM. Atlantic City, N. J., July 15.—The high esteem in which President Taft holds Dr. Booker T. Washington, and the corial friendship which exists between the two was aptly illustrated at the Christian Endeavor Convention recently held here, Speaking before an immense throng on Young's Pier, the President said: "You are to have the pleasure of hearing Dr. Washington. It is both a pleasure and an opportunity, and I cannot leave this hall without saying that I regard him as one of the men of four or five generations, a man who has contributed to the welfare of another race, whose life is only half run, and whose power for usefulness in the future cannot be exaggerated." congresionaldebru PARAGRAPHIC NEWS Important News Happenings of the Week DEVOTED TO GENERAL INTEREST Among twenty-seven employees who have worked for twenty-seven years or more in the Saunders Tool Factory, in Yonkers, N.

The Eiffel Tower, which already serves many purposes in Paris, is now to be transformed into a huge "parohail." Just as a parasol protects a person from the rays of the sun, so the "parohail," by electric currents, it is claimed, will protect Paris from hail within a radius of twenty miles. The Confederate flag after being borne through six battles, captured by a Northern regiment, and returned in triumph to its original owners is the history of the battle flag of the Seventeenth Virginia Regiment. The City Council has passed an ordinance that no one may sell peanuts on the streets of Bonham, Texas, until he has suffered the amputation of both legs.

Some men go without hats at times with the idea that the hair is improved by ventilation and sunshine. Undoubtedly this does improve it, but the prime secret is not in not wearing the hat at all. The ventilated hat will not prevent baldness if this same hat be worn tightly around the head. If a string be tied ever so lightly around the finger the effect upon the circulation may be easily marked in the end of that finger. A tight hat will affect the circulation of the scalp in the same way. Hats which are easily blown off should never be worn, as they will not stay on unless jammed so tightly upon the head as to impede circulation. All stiff, rigid hats should be very light, and one should select a size larger than the head measurement and correct the over size by inserting felt strips under the sweat band, thus giving a cushion-like effect and preventing the constriction at that portion of the scalp. FIRST POST HOUSES. Established by Cyrus, the Founder of the Persian Empire. The first posts are said to have originated in the regular couriers established by Cyrus the Great about 550 B. C., who erected post houses throughout the kingdom of Persia. Augustus was the first to introduce this institution among the Romans, 31 B. C., and he was imitated by Charlemagne about 800 A. D. Louis XI. was the first sovereign to establish post houses in France, owing to his cagerness for news, and they were also the first institution of this nature in Europe. This was in 1470, or about 2000 years after they were started in Persia. In England in the reign of Edward IV. (1481) riders on post horses went stages of the distance of twenty miles from each other in order to procure the king the earliest intelligence of the events that passed in the course of the war that had arisen with the Scots. A proclamation was issued by Charles I. in 1631 that, "whereas to this time there hath been no certain intercourse between the kingdoms of England and Scotland, the king now commands his postmaster of England for foreign parts to settle a running post or two between Edinburgh and London to go thither and come back again in six days."

Jones, the noted Welsh composer and vocalist, died in Chicago last week at the age of 88 years. He died while singing one of his favorite hymns. Edith Wilton combined two marked contradictions. She possessed a lovable disposition, but when she was a baby, through the carelessness of a nurse, she fell and cut her lip, producing a wound that in healing left a scar, giving a very disagreeable expression to her face. Edith could see in the faces of those she met a repugnance occasioned by her expression. At first she tried to obviate this effect by smiling, but she saw at once of the further recold of the one looking at her that she was only heightening the disagreeable impression. Such physical blights usually have one of two effects, either the blighted person is unconscious of the defect or becomes painfully sensitive concerning it. Edith was of the latter glass. She would not go to the social gatherings of her own age. More and more she shrank within herself. Then, becoming conscious that in being a recluse she would be forced into life of selfishness, she began to devote herself to the poor. She had friends, girl friends, who sought to draw her out socially. Confidence between young girls is close, while that between opposite sexes, especially at that age, is distant. The young men who met Edith looked upon the expression on her face and turned away with a shrug. Her girl friends had a better opportunity to learn what there was under the misleading expression. When one of her chums was married she insisted on Edith being her bridesmaid. Edith demurred, but her friend would not excuse her. At the wedding the bridesmaid, looking up suddenly, saw the eyes of a young man she had never seen riveted upon her and without that repelled expression she was accustomed to see. The man was a recent graduate of a medical school. The reason why his face did not reflect any disagreeable expression at her defect was because, being a practitioner, he was used to controlling his features when treating his patients. But Edith did not know this. She knew only that a man with a kindly face was looking at her without any reference to her defect. And when Dr. Allan Emerson requested an introduction and was presented to her her heart fairly bounded within her. Not for an instant while he chatted with her did he seem conscious of her blight. And she, being made to feel that it was inconsequential, rose above it so far as to display the real attractiveness and worth that were in her. And yet the reason of the young doctor's desire to make her acquaintance was that very defect. He had been observing her before she had noticed him and with a professional eye had been watching the effect of her scar upon the various expressions that flitted across her face. Some physicians, rough in manner, though they may be invaluable helpers to the alliedet, would not have scrupled to betray the real object of their interest. Emerson was of a different kind. He not only concealed his own thoughts for professional reasons, but from an innate sense of delicacy. Whatever be the exact analysis of his feelings, the act produced a marked impression upon Edith Wilton. A man whose personnel, whose hearing, was far above the average had not only failed to show any repugnance at her defect, but had asked to be introduced to her and chatted with her, displaying unusual interest in her without seeming to be conscious that there was any difference between her and other girls, unless to her advantage. But when he asked her if he might not call upon her the cup of her delight was full. A few months after the meeting Dr. Emerson asked Edith to be his wife. When she had accepted him he mentioned for the first time her defect, letting her know that he believed he could remove at least its effects. "Why," said Edith, "didn't you remove it before proposing to me?" "Because, sweetheart," he replied, "these stupid men who have been passing you by would have learned of your real worth, and the field would have been full of rivals." There was more in her eyes than in her words when she repiled, "You know very well that none of them were to be feared by you." But Edith dreaded lest in case an operation were not successful her lover might find himself tied through life to a blighted woman and unhappiness for both would result. She therefore insisted on having the operation performed and if the trouble were removed the marriage to take place afterward. Dr. Emerson demurred to this, saying that whether the operation were or were not a success he would not give her up. Both stood firmly on the ground that they had taken, but the man, since the result would be the same to him in any event, finally riedled. The operation was merely a matter of delicate handling, its only object being to produce a certain result of facial expression. Dr. Emerson performed it himself, covering the wound he made with a piece of skin from the arm of another person. When the whole had healed and the bandages wre removed, though the scar remained, the expression on the face had entirely changed. Dr. Emerson is facetious in his remarks upon how he kept rivals from the girl he wanted and whom as his wife he considers a treasure. Mr. and Mrs. Trevor were sitting one October evening before a blazing wood fire—they had not yet lighted the furnace—and the room was aglow and redolent with the pleasant odor of burning wood. The children had been romping, Mr. Trevor carrying Bennie pligaback and Willie on all fours, but their mother had now taken them all, including the girls, up to bed, tucked them in, kissed them good night and had returned with her sewing, which she was doing by the big lamp on the table, while Mr. Trevor read a magazine. There was a ring at the bell. Now, for many years there was something in the ring of his doorbell that cast a sober look over Samuel Trevor's face. But to explain the reason for this it is necessary to go back to the time when he was a very young man When he was but eighteen his father, who was a lumber merchant, sent his son to a lumber camp that he might learn the business which would one day be his, from the beginning. There is danger to all persons of that age of inexperience and rocklessness that they may make a mesalliance, and on, that account it is a bad plan to take them away from young girls of their own social circle and place them among their inferiors. And where would a young man of refinement find people, more his inferiors than in a lumber camp? Among the girls there was Madge Hopkins, the daughter of a lumberman, several years older than Trevor, who lured him into indiscretions with her, then threatened him with vengeance if he refused to marry her. He did so, but immediately left the camp. An effort was made to annul the marriage, but it was unsuccessful. Then the woman offered to refrain from troubling her husband if his father would support her. Remittances were sent regularly for a season, when suddenly a newspaper was received containing a notice of her death. No doubt was felt of the truth of the notice when several years had passed and, no remittances having been sent, no demand was made for them. Twelve years after the conclusion of this episode Samuel Trevor married Agatha Beach. He told her all about it before being engaged to her, not expressing a doubt that his first wife was dead. "You may be sure of that," said Agatha, "or she would be drawing the lifeblood out of you." Nevertheless Trevor, having had nothing but the death notice to prove to him Mudge Hopkins' demise, never felt absolutely sure. And that was the reason why a certain dread was connected with the ringing of his doorbell. A maid in a neat uniform of black and white went to the door, and the wife and husband heard a woman's course voice ask for Mr. Trevor. Then, without waiting to be announced, the caller brushed past the maid and into the sitting room. "Hello, Sam!" she said. Mary, Sarah. She said. Trevor put his hands to his face and trembled. It was Madge Hopkins, and, judging from her appearance, she had been growing coarser with every year. Mrs. Trevor ran to her husband and put her arms about him as if to shield him from the blow. "Y needn't be afraid o' me," said the woman, "if you'll give me somethin' to live on." "Why did I receive that notice of your death?" faltered Trevor. "I ain't got nothin' to do with that. I ain't got nothin' to live on. Send them remittances that was dropped and I'll let y' alone." "Mamma!" cried the oldest daughter, a girl of ten, from above. "What's the matter?" "Leave your address and go," said Trevor, eager to get the woman out of the house before the children should learn who she was. The address was given, and the woman went away. Then after a silence Mr. Trevor said: "Don't worry on my account, dearle. My position is not pleasant, but what is it compared with the interest of you and the children? Be comforted. We will keep the secret. Send the remittances regularly and no one will be the wiser." But Mrs. Trevor had no intention of letting the matter rest where it was. A shrewd woman, she believed that there had been some weak-spot in Madge Hopkins' record which was accountable for the spurious death notice and the failure to claim the remittances. It was but a week after this, when Trevor came home one evening from business, that his wife received him with a radiant countenance that boded good news. Taking him to a room where the children would not hear and closing the door, she said: "It's all right. I put a detective on her track, and he has been here this afternoon to report. The woman has never been Madge Hopkins since you have known her. She was secretly married before you met her to a humber shover—whatever that is—and, he drifting away, she took you in. But after you left he returned and claimed her. She lived with him; but, fearing if you appeared in their lives she would be tried for bigamy, she sent you the notice of her death, which she had inserted in a paper for the purpose, and gave up the remittances. Her husband has recently died, and she came back on you for support." By REGINALD D. HAVEN "I never did but one good act in my life," said the old counterfeiter. "There wasn't much credit in it to me, but it was productive of a lot of happiness to others. It occurred many years ago, and as I am now a very old man and have a very long, troubled life to look back upon, including several terms in the penitentiary, it stands out from the rest of my acts in odd contrast. "It was in the summer of 1859 that several of us got together in a northern city and manufactured a number of twenty dollar counterfeit bills. As soon as we had finished the job we destroyed the outfit, divided the bills and started for different parts of the country to put them out on the public, my section being the south. Boarding one of the crack steamers of that day, I started for New Orleans. In order the better to impose on people I dressed myself in ministerial black and wore a white cavat. I had been an actor and could personate a clergyman, or any one else, for that matter, to perfection. "The main cabin of the steamers running on the Mississippi river in those days, when the table was not set for meals, was occupied principally for gambling. Poker, seven-up, euchre and other games were played, though the parties playing were not large and often two persons only occupied a table. I was sitting on the guards one day when a negro came out of the cabin, wringing his hands. "What's the matter, boy?" I asked. "Mars' done gone lose me to a niggha truder. Ma wife an' pickaninlies won't neber see me no no!" "I found that his master, a planter, had taken him to Calro as his body servant, was returning, had lost all the money he had with him at cards, staked his darky and lost him too. I went into the cabin, where the planter and the trader were settling up, the planter being at the moment occupied in making out a bill of sale for the slave. "I beg your pardon, sir," I said to the planter. 'On account of my vocation I am opposed, of course, to gambling in any form; but I dislike exceedingly the separation of families. I understand that you have lost your negro. I would be pleased to lend you the money to win him back.' "The gentleman accepted the offer. I brought out some new, crisp bills, just from the press, and the game started anew. It was euche. I soon saw that the gambler could go on winning from the trader all day if he liked, for the former was perpetrating one of the commonest tricks on him—that is, 'turning jack.' In other words, when he dealt he would always turn up a knave for himself. Seeing this and other cheating, I interfered. I told him that I had learned the game before becoming a clergyman and insisted on taking the planter's place. Since I was backing the latter he was obliged to yield to me in the matter, which he did with a bad grace. "I had not only learned the game 'before becoming a clergyman,' but all the tricks that went with it and many other games. I walked into that card sharper in a way that opened his eyes. The negro at stake had followed me into the cabin and was standing watching the game with bulging eyes. It was hard for me to keep a straight face, playing as I was, a supposed minister of the gospel, with counterfeit money and doing as neat bits of thimberlingg as had ever been practiced on that palatial steamboat. The negro trader was not a professional card sharper, though he didn't hesitate to cheat the planter, and never dreamed that the somber man before him in a lotless white necktie was placing the cards exactly, where he wanted them. "Of course I soon won the darky for his master. Then I arose from the table, delivered a homily on the sln of gambling and returned to the guards. I was followed by the planter, who said to me: "I'm mit me, suh, to say to yo' that yo' are the first man of the cloth that has even obtained my unbounded respect, suh. Yo' have saved my boy, suh, from being separated from his wife, and children, an act fo' which I would have been to blame. I have sufficient influence, suh, to control a call to the First Baptist church of —, Misssssippl. If yo' will accept it it shall be yo' with a fat salary." "I thanked the gentleman for his offer, but declined it. When we reached his landing he insisted so heartily upon my visiting him at his plantation that I consented." "I was made welcome by his family, and the wife and children of the negro I had saved from the trader came to the house with tears in their eyes to thank me. I was a good looking young fellow in those days and could see that I made an impression on one of the planter's daughters. I had everything at my disposal to perpetrate any rascality I might choose. I could get the planter's indorsement, which would enable me to dispose of my 'green goods,' and I believed I could win his daughter. "I did neither. For a brief season I enjoyed the sensation of being a fine fellow. During that time I permitted myself to feel the part just as an actor will feel the character he is personating. Then when it was over I departed, resisting with difficulty the reproachful look of the girl who favored me, and as soon as I was on another boat 'was again a dog of a counterfeiter.' By DAVID WALTER CHURCH Little Inez Basquemento, a Mexican girl I saw while engineering in the southwest, was a merry child (if she had been born in the north she would have been a child; but, being a Mexican, she was a woman). She might have been anywhere from fourteen to sixteen. She played the guitar and sang with a little birdlike voice, jabbered Spanish musically, danced, and her face wore a perpetual smile, which was for every one. But if any person attempted to guy her she would knit her brows and shrink away as though terrified. And once her confidence was lost by a bit of banter her good will could never be regained. There was a young engineer engaged on the same work as myself out there, at the time fresh from one of the "Teck" schools of the northern states. He was twenty years old, handsome as a picture and as bright as a new brass button. What must he do but make love to Inez with all the recklessness of youth regardless of the consequences both to himself and her! I, who was older, saw his danger and warned him. I knew what was up, for in the evening when the day's work was over I would hear on the Basquamento veranda the twang of Inez's guitar, his little flute voice, her merry laughter mingled with sounds which I recognized as coming from Ben Eggleston, the young man who was sowing the wind to reap the whirlwind. "You little fool," I would say to him, "don't you know that the girl is a mingling of child and woman—child in inexperience, woman in development; that she will fall in love with you and then"— "I'll break it off at once," would be the young fellow's invariable reply. The boy fully intended to keep his resolution when it was made, but gave up trying to do so when it got cold. The next night I would, hear the same pleasant sounds on the veranda and knew that they were breeding the same storm. This went on till the work on that division was finished and we were about to move. Eggleston assured me there wouldn't be any trouble. The girl was such a child that he couldn't believe she had been attracted to him as she might have been if more of a woman. He was going away and would simply bid her goodbye as he would any other girl of immature years whose companion he had been. "My advice to you," I said, "is to do no such thing. Go without saying anything about your going." He didn't take my advice. The day before leaving he told her in a careless way that the engineering party to which he belonged was going to move its headquarters. "And I will not see you again?" said the girl, her smile vanishing. "Perhaps not," replied Ben, not thinking it wise to leave her to look forward to meeting him again. "You'll grow up soon and get married. Then you won't want any young men friends like me." In order the better to kill in her all expectation of getting any nearer to him he told her he had a girl in the north. That evening I met Inez carrying a cudgel in one hand and a canvas bag in the other. She wore the same innocent look she had always worn, but I noticed a peculiar glitter in her eye. There was something incongruous in a little girl's carrying a bludgeon, and, naturally fearful for Ben Eggleston, I could not help vaguely connecting the act with the fitting he was giving her. She passed me without looking back, and, taking position behind a tree, I watched her. She went along, looking about her on the ground as if searching for something. She spent half an hour in this way, I following her, taking a new position now and then where I would not be observed by her. Presently I saw her hit something with her weapon. Then she picked up what looked to me from a short distance like a baby alligator. She held it by the tall, dropped it into the bag, closed the mouth and went away. I didn't know what it all meant; but, still timorous about Ben, I told him he had better not wait for the moving of the party, but get out at once. He laughed at me and said there was nothing to fear and if there were he wouldn't run from a little Mexican girl who had scarcely given up her doll. We engineers slept in a long temporary building one story high. That night I was startled by an unearthly yell. Springing out of bed, I ran along to a room where Eggleston and a rodman slept. The window was open, and Eggleston had just struck a light. His roommate was holding one leg and writhing with pain. "Kill it!" he yelled. Then I saw a little alligator looking thing on the floor. "Kill it! It's the Gila monster and has bitten me. I'm gone up." Iner's actions were explained. She had dropped the reptile in through the window on Ben, she supposed, but really on his roommate. For a week the poor devil howled in agony, then dled. That was years ago. Ben Eggleston has never married. The bare mention of a woman produces on him a temporary insanity. THE SIREN By CORA HATHORN SYKES Each dwelling should be a thing of itself, not containing any one except the family whose home it is. Many a wife and husband have been separated, innocent children made to suffer and sometimes murder done because of a man of a woman going to live with a family of which they were not a part. The Brown's were a humdum couple, content with each other and their home. When it was decided to have a governess for their children Miss Olive Markam was selected for the purpose. Miss Markam was pretty, and Mrs. Brown should have hesitated before taking her into the sheepfold. Not that the wolf was likely to harm her lambs, but there was a sheep in the family who, though not very tender, was liable to fall a prey to the newcomer. Neither Mrs. Brown nor her husband gave the entrance of Miss Markam into the family a thought so far as danger was concerned. Neither had ever known a pang of jealousy. Mr. Brown was a pudgy, baldheaded man of forty-two; Mrs. Brown was a tall, angular woman but a year his junior. Neither supposed that the other could attract any one else even if so inclined. The governess was but twenty and replied to Mr. Brown's remarks with "Yes, sir," and "No, str," as a person of an entirely different generation. And yet there was danger in her presence at the Brown's. Mr. Brown had his own sleeping room, where he might get a quiet night's rest without being disturbed by the rest of the family. One night he wakened from a bad dream and could not go to sleep again. After vainly endeavoring for an hour or more to do so he got up, put on a dressing gown and went downstairs to get a biscuit and a glass of wine, hoping that by thus drawing the blood to his stomach he might return to slumber. He took great care to move softly that he might not awaken any of the family and on reaching the dining room refrained even from striking a light. He found what he wanted in the sideboard and, having partaken of it, was about to return to his room when he felt his hand clasped by a softer one. Mr. Brown knew Mrs. Brown's hand very well. It was not soft; it was not even round. On the contrary, it was hard and bony. A current shot quickly up his arm and entered—his heart? no, his self esteem, exciting that natural gratification a man who has passed middle life feels in attracting a young woman. The conviction that the governess had fallen in love with him popped into Mr. Brown's head and created there a disturbance at once delightful and terrifying. On the one hand was his home, his wife, his children; on the other, the siren. If he listened to the one the wreck of the others was sure to follow. But had he the power to resist? Mr. Brown felt in his bones that he had not. All this flashed through Mr. Brown's mind in the two or three seconds that he held the hand in his. Then it was withdrawn, and without sound or farewell the owner passed. With a wildly beating heart he stood, listened, hoped for further manifestation, feared he would receive it, groped for it with outstretched hands, was disappointed, comforted, troubled, pleased and thrilled all at the same time. At last, being convinced that the owner of the hand had gone, he returned to his room. Mr. Brown lay awake till daylight, a prey to different emotions, then went to sleep and dreamed that he and the governess were floating down a river whose banks were covered with luxurant foliage and overhung with flowers. She was 'the same woman, but transfigured to one of transcendent beauty. He bent over the side of the boat and saw his own face reflected in the water. To his surprise, his hair had come back on his head with no gray streaks in it, and his eye had regained the fire of youth. Then he took her hand in his—the same hand he had held before. There was the same pleasurable thrill without the dread of consequences. The wife of his bosom, so far as his dream was concerned, had no existence; his children were not yet born. He drifted in paradise. He was awakened by a shake and the words: "Ellisha, are you going to sleep all day? Get up!" It was Mrs. Brown, in dishhille and forming a dreadful contrast with the companion of his dream. Mr. Brown lay a few moments trying to get used to the returned reality, then slowly got out of bed, forced himself into his clothes and went down into the dining room. The family were at breakfast. His oldest daughter, aged fourteen, looked at him mischievously. "How did you like the ghost, papa?" she asked, her eyes dancing with fun. "W-h-a-t ghost?" 'But he knew before she told him that she had got up in the night for a glass of water, heard him leave his room, followed him and, with better eyes than his, clasped his hand. "My dear," said Mr. Brown to his wife after breakfast and before going downtown, "I've been thinking that the children will get on better going to school than taught by a governess." "Perhaps you're right, pa. Anyway, we can't keep Miss-Markam after the holidays. She's going to be married." "Married." "Yes, to a very nice looking young fellow, a year older than she. Same difference as between us, dear." WHEN ABNER GOT MAD By M. QUAD [Copyright, 1913, by Associated Literary Press.] Miss Eunice Glasser was a "sorter" old maid, but it was not her fault. Abner Jackson, who was a "sorter" old bachelor, had been courting her for five years without actually popping the question. She lived with her wild, owed mother in the village, and he worked a little farm just outside. Abner wasn't lazy. He was just a good natured poke of a man. He was goin' to get married some day, but there was no hurry about it. He always talked as if he intended to marry Eunice, but he didn't come down to details. He didn't ask her to name the day and arrange the bridal tour. Eunice liked Abner and bore with him, but she was getting rather tired of it when her Aunt Hannah came on a visit. Aunt Hannah saw Abner two or three times, understood his nature and then said to her niece: "Look here, you've got a poke of a man hanging around after you, and it may be ten years more before he'll say anything about marriage. Are you going to put up with it or do something?" "Why, auntie, what can I do?" "Get mad at him and make him think he's going to lose you." "He only laughs when I get mad." "He only laughs when I get mad." "Then set in and criticise his feet, his nose, his eyebrows. Tell him that he's the homelast man you ever saw." "I don't think he'd mind it at all." "Didn't you ever see him show, any temper?" "Not a bit. He was run over by a drove of hogs once and got up laughing. No, you can't make Abner mad. He's a poke, but an awfully good man." "And are you going to keep right on for the 'next fifty years, are you?" One afternoon three or four days later a vinegar barrel with one head out was left at the house by the grocer to be used as a rain barrel. The house stood on quite a hill, and there was a sharp slope down to the village street. About the hour Abner usually appeared Ennice was sent on an errand to the other side of the village, and when the "poke" arrived Aunt Hannah was the one to greet him. She took him to the corner of the house where the barrel stood and promptly began: "See here, Mr. Jackson, you've been dawdling around here for years. What are you after?" "Why-why"—he stammered as he leaned up against the house and could say no more. "Oh, you can't tell! I knew you couldn't. You've come here almost every night in the week for months and years and squatted yourself down, and what for? Your talk can't interest anybody. The sight of you isn't inspiring. If I was Eunice I'd just as soon have a wooden man around. And yet you come and squat and squat. I ask you, sir, what you mean by such conduct?" "I-I guess I'll go home," answered Abner, who was too astonished to see straight. "And I guess you won't," said Aunt Hannah, "at least not until you have explained yourself. I've been looking at you. If I had a cow as homely as you are I'd knock her in the head with the ax. Hump shouldered, bowlegged and feet like an elephant, and yet you come here and squat around and take up a girl's time. Why, man, what can you think of yourself?" "I'll never come again!" exclaimed Abner in a changed voice. "That's good. That's what I wanted to hear you say. Go and squat somewhere else. Go and find the homeiest girl in the country to match you. The first time I saw you I knew you was a poke of a man and you hadn't grit enough to push a toad off its nest." "Woman, be careful! If you aggravate me too much"— "Aggravate an old poke! Why, man, it would take you three years to get mad, even if you started in tonight." The next thing she knew she was being lifted off her feet in Abner's strong arms and deposited in the handy barrel. Before she could yelp twice the barrel was whirled on its side and given a kick to start it down the slope. It took an erratic course. It ran to 'the right a few feet and then shiled to the left. It stopped for a moment at a gooseberry bush and then dodged and jumped clear over a crabapple tree. There were yelling and screaming from the inmate of the barrel, but Abner stood and watched the circus and shouted back: "I'm a poke, am I? I'm a squatter, am I? I've got bowlegs and humped shoulders and feet like an elephant! Gol durn your hide, roll on!" And the barrel,rolled, and Aunt Hannah rolled, and neither of them stopped rolling till the barrel crashed through the fence and brought up against a shade tree in the street. No one was killed. No bones were broken. Aunt Hannah crept out and up to the house and was just finished with the last of the arnula when Miss Eunice came rushing in with radiant face to exclaim: "I was coming back home—and I met Abner—and he was swearing—and he grabbed me by the arm—and he said he'd break my neck if I didn't go right to the preacher's and be married—and"— "And you went?" "Yes, and we were married. I had to be. Abner ain't a poke any more, but the awfulest, determinedest man you ever heard of. Why, auntie, he told me to tell you that you could go to thunder and be durned to you!" Published at . 1109 Eye St, N. W. Washington, DG # i W. CALVIN CHASE, EDITOR.

T, Cook for his long and valua- ble services as superintendent of colored ‘schools in jlre District of Columbia, by naming either the “Normal or the High School buiiding after him, and still en- teiiains the same opinion. Among the names mentioned, in addition to Mr, Cook, for Normal School «No. 2 are several who rendered wood service in the colored schools, such as: John H.Brooks, William H, A. Wormley, William H. Smith, George B. Vashon, Perry H Rider and Miss Myrtle Minor, The first and last name ‘mentioned have a closer identity with the Normal School_than ei- ther of the others. Miss Minor laid the foundation for the, crea- tion of the school by bequeathing a large sum of money, at her death, for the preparation of col- “ored girls for teachership. Mr. Brooks, as trustee (crystallized through a contract between the Minor Fund trustees and the School Board) into working op- eration the Normal School for Colored Childrern, Prior to the establishment of this school Mr. Brooks, as member of the Upper Council, under the territory form of government, fell into disfavor with his race by working and vot- ing against an amendment pro- posed by Lewis H. Douglass, atso a member of the Upper Council, to the then pending bill creating a normal school for the winte girls, The amendment of Mtr. Douglass struck’ out all ref erence to color, and had it not heen for Mr. Brooks’ activity and vote would have become a law «nd Washington would have had one instead of two normal schools: The- feeling at the time’ an.ong the colored people against Mr. Brooks was very bifter, and ‘several indignation meetings wate held and Mr. Brooks’ action and vote severely denounced.- Mr. Brooks’ subsequent labor in the colored. schools as trustee and secretary to the Board of Trustees, together with his suc- cessful -effort in bringing about the establishment of a Normal School for Colored Girls, molli- fied somewhat the intense feeling - of the colored people against him, The new building should bear the name of one whose name, character and standing in the currmunity or out of it are com-: mensurate with the purpose and high aims of the school. The Normal School for Colored Chil- -lren at the Capital of the Nation should bear a designaton sugges- tive of its pre-eminent and ad- varced position as an educator and its name should be one that will not require a card of intro- ¢ ction or an explanation or an apology to the educators of the country. } NO FATTED CALF. Killing the fatted calf for the returned prodigal is a_ Biblical narrative that hnds few instances of emulation in these practical and prosaic times. ‘There, are some people, and some newspa- pers, who have an eye single to the possible killing of a fatted calf, along about campaign time, Who are just now professing un- dying, never-ceasing and consist- ent support and espousal of Pres- ident Taft, who bup a fifth of a decade ago were troubled lest they could not find terms strong enough to criticise him in, The Bee can recall those who made up that vagabond army of Ne- groes looking for the filthy lucre three years ago. Now they are pointing to their alleged consist- ency in the support of Mr, Taft. We desire to sce and to have all come in and, with us, praise and support him, and while we will not kill a fated calf and invite the populace to a feast in honor of the prodigals, we will welcome trem, However, we: would like to remind all these, and especial- ly the would-be and near-great derelicts that TheBee was stanch in its support of Mr, Taft prior to and after the Chicago Conven- tion, Our files contain the proof, The editor of The Bee did not ally himself with that alleged Negro IndependentLeague which cpposed Mr. Taft, and we did not, therefore, have to desert any fel- low-conspirators, who also were mercenary: independents, so soon as the ballot was Shnounced set- tling the nomination of Mr. Taft, We invite all to join us for the President who has maintained the greavest representation, and the, best, ever accorded the race by a president of these United States —but all you who were under) pay of the “allies” please don't prate too awfully much about your.loyalty to the President, for we might have occasion to ré- produce some interesting records. Jast come and be of us, but don’t claim superiority. Three years is not long enough to forget some things. Now we have got to cet Mr. Taft to succeed himself, if the Negro hopes for a future, so let us be about our work, and cease tossing bouquets at your- selves, NEGRO DEMOCRACY. It is amusing as well as ridicu- lous to hear colored men declare for the Democratic party. It is a question of serious considera- tion whether it would not be ad- visable to have these colored men examined, Just how a col- ored man can declare for the Democratic party in the face of existing conditions is a question for serious consideration. Democratic Representatives in Congress are declaring against the Negro every day. In States where the Democratic party is ip control the colored citizens have no more rights than a convict has in a penitentiary, except the citi- zen is allowed in the open, while the convict’s privileges are lim- ited, A writer to The Bee a few days ago justifies Democratic Negroes for accepting spittoon washers positions at the Capitol. He for- gets that under a Republican ad- ministration the colored citizen is not only appointed to positions of spittoon washers, but to other high and responsible positions, Vicious ,utterances of the Gov- etnor of South Carolina a few weeks ago are evidences of the feeling of the Democratic party in the South toward the colored citizens. The Democratic party has nothing for the Negro Dem- ocrat. The Democratic party has no faith in the Negro Democrat, and many of them remark theNe- gro is ungrateful Sf he deserts those who have protected him. There must be insanity in the Negro Democrat. Certainly no- thing but insane beings would ‘support those who abuse them. There is no difference between /an insane person and a Negro Democrat. An insane person will attack his best friend. If the Ne- gro Democrat was not insane he ee not go to his enemy. If the Democratic party held out any inducements to the col- ored Americans, The Bee would not complain. If the Democratic party in States that it controls would ‘repeal its obnoxious laws there would be an inducement for Negroes to give it aid. | Negro Democracy. cannot be a factor. preeenee SE MEMUOCKALG 2 Jim Ross, the dapper and deb: onair Negro Democrat, of Buf falo, N. Y., who sports a vandyke that would drive even a Parisian to a beauty parlor, is evidently becoming weary of Democratic allegiance,and has about conclud- ed that the Negro can hope for little or nothing from the South- ruled Democratic party. Mr. Ross edits the Gazetteer and Guide, a pictorial magazine pup- lished in Buffalo. If the last is- sue of that publication Mr, Ross penned and published the follow- ing editorial: “The Gazetteer and Monthly Magazine has unqualifiedly and consistently supported all Demo- cratic candidates at all times, but is opposed to the treatment ex- tended the colored men by the power that controls the patron- age of ‘this Congress: Speaker Clark, Lloyd, and Henry. Not a place of honor is filled by a Negro Democrat under this Democratic Congress. Offices of honor filled by Negro Republi- cans were abolished under the guise of economy. Negro Democracy has béen hi- miliated and embarrassed by the present leaders of the present Congress; not a single appoint- ment has been given to Negro Democracy, not even a messen- ger’s position has been given to a Negro residing outside the City of Washington. Republican Congressmen to be congratulated and commended in their fight to retain all of the Re- publican Negro medsengers to the various committees, otherwise white men from the South would have taken their places.

The Bee regards him /s a Christian judge and a man of high moral character. ’ } as a Christian and a man who Televes in a-God, and having been taught ta believe that out of one flesh all humanity is made, why should he say, in reference to tlie Corry girl, had she been a colored girl he would know where to send her? Will the Judge of the Juvenile Court ex- plain what he means? Does he mean to say that he would have sent the Correy git) to the Re- form School, where colored girls are sent, if she had been a col- cred girl? Why are colored girls vent to the Reform School and white girls who commit similar offenses sent to other institu- tions? Does the judge of the Juvenile Court believe in separate places of punishment? Does he believe that God has’ one place of ry. .ishment for white people and another place for the colored peo- ple? Does he believe that the good white and -colored people will go to separate places or will be separated after they reach the good place of heavenly bliss? Crime is crime, no matter wno commits it, and if there is one place of punishmegt the offend- ers should be sent to it, no mat- ter who they may be. - The authorities went so far in the Correy girl’s case as to find a stitable place for her outside of the District of Columbia, If the girl had been ~ colored, she would haye been sent to jail if the Reform School had been too smull to have held her, | SENATOR BURTON ‘dhat senator Burton is one of the ablest men in the United States Senate, anda worthy suc- cessor of the many great men the Buckeye State has sent to the Senate, is being evidenced in ev- ery debate in which he engages. He is q clear, lucid, incisive de- bater. He can take the most complex and difficult of under- standing economic questions and make them clear and perfeotly understandable to -the simplest- minded person, Take his remarks made in the Senate Monday in the debate on the campaign pub- licity bill, for instance. In the discussion of this bill a lot of ab- stract legal propositions were in- jected — so many, and so varied as to théir bearing on the main proposition—that to the initiated —the plain common citizen not versed in law—the discussion be- came a maze of perplexing com- plications. When Senator Bur- ton arose to speak, His language was so plain, his statement of| facts so clear, and his explana- tion Of points so lucid, that every! one who heard him, or who have, since read his remarks understood perfectly the aim and scope of the campaign publicity bill. Senator Burton is every inch a statesman, and a credit to his na- tive State. He is a serious-mind- ed man of public affairs who la- bors for public weal, THE CAMPAIGN.

Well now my think tank is just in about that fix, Even mint juleps, home made and home consumed, will not start her going.

Now, there’s Bud Gaskins. Show me a fellow who is getting more for the dollar than Bud out of that rea devil of his. He is in it every minute in the day when he is not practicing painless dentistry. He has promised two or three times to take me out, but I notice he prefers to ride by his lonesome, when he hasn't a bit of corsets, skirts and lace to ride with. And there is Dr. Henry Freeman, who always has a call to make, and Doc, Will Howard, who sends his machine. bowling along until, he strikes” Fourteenth street north of V, and then he just lets her creep and come to a stop. These automo- bilists are queer fellows, sort of odd in some things, and to call them odd fellows would be about right. . eet Now speaking about Odd Fellows teminds me that Brother Asbury,who use to edit the Odd Fellows’ Journal after a fashion, is making a hercu- Ican effort to organize a bolting or- der of Odd Fellows. I think Asbury is making a chump of himself in so doing, but I guess he knows what's necessary to eatn a living for him- self. Now there’s no us¢ talking, you ain’t going to get many sensible ‘Odd Fellows to pull out of the real thing and hook on to Asbury’s aero- plane affair. If there is one thing a colored man does want it’s the real thing. You can’t give him the phony business in anything except diamonds —and you can't give this to him more than once. Why, I don’t be- lieve you could get Alex Martin to join Asbury’s joke order, and Alex is a real insurgent. At Baltimore they put the hobbies on Alex, and he has’ never got over it. He is so worked up over it that they tell me he won't come as far west on F street as Seventh street, for fear of passing Houston's officfiie, and as for shaking hands with Houston, why, he would rather shake dice. But they say Will Houston ain't worrying a bit, he’s so busy handing down de- cisions as a member of the Odd Fel- lows’ Supreme Court. Will Pollard says that if ever one of Houston's decisions is carried to the judges of, the United States Supreme Court for them to look over, Taft will have to appoint an entire new court at once, for all will die in a fit of laughing. ey But speaking about Martin. Did you ever know that this tall syca- more of the Potomac is a queer com- pound? Why, he is a sort of an enigma, If you mention Odd_Fel- lows to him, he begins to move like a steam engine and talk like a talk- ing machine. The expenses for that Atlantic City B. M.

I told that to Martin the other day, and he came near being run over by Dr. Beckley’s sewing machine, he got so excited, just about the time Doc Beckley was chug-chug- ing along. My advice to Martin is to take peppermint for,that Odd Fel- low delusion, Just stick to your law, Alec, and don’t mind a little thing like Asbury’s funeral .procession or- der, As bad as Armond Scott hates Houston, he wouldn't join it, and as for Tom Jones joining it, not while His Eloquence, who rooms up on Vermont avenue, can get Vermont Avenue Church cases will he join Asbury’s junk army. When you see Ed Morris, Links. Johnson, Harry Cummings, Ben Davis and Will Houston going in a body over to As- bury’s junk army then you will know it’s a real live wire with a, bank ac- count. Until then, put a soft pedal on your enthusiasm, dear Alec Sfar- tin, the tall brunette legal adviser of Rising Sun "Lodge. . eye Up in New York the colored men are rejoicing over the law passed creating a colored regiment. Now it is all very nice to get a fegiment, but wait till it comes to electing the cfficers, and I bet they will have to call out the police reserves. My sug- gestion is that they elect Nap Mar- shall colonel. Nap has the size and the height, and his experience on that perlous trip to Brownsville, with Chris Stewart, to get evidence, makes him sufficient of a hero_to be a colo- tel. I would like to see Nap in a soldier uniform. He’s been a soldier so long without wearing a uniform that the change would do him good. Make Nap Marshall colonel and we will promise New York to send five thousand Washingtonians up to visit camp next year, if transportation is furnished. For Major I nominate W. W. Martin, who runs the North- west Cafe. I mention him because if he is made major we'll lose him. For Judge Advocate General we can send a bunch of lawyers and near- lawyers up, and we have got several splendid lawyers down here,the equal of Justice White, who have not been able to pass the bar examination. They especially would make cratker- jack judge advocate generals, You know, the man who is the most learn- ed in the law, in his own estimation, is the one who can’t pass a bar ex- amination. They can expound more law in a minute than Professor Hart can think of in asyear. I would like to see them provide enough places for all our near-lawyers, and thcy might take on, with no disad- vantage to Washington, several pairs of near-physicians as, surgeon gen- erals. We can fit the whole regiment out with officers, but for just plain, ev ry-day soldiers in" the rank, this would be an awfully bad town to come to, yt ‘ Say, if you.ain’t able-to get your name in the newspaper somehow and somewhere, don’t you know you are a mollycoddle?

A Coat of These, Taking Several Days to Remove, Means Excruciating Torture to the Victim. People who read of tarring and feathering know that the punishment is a very unpleasant one, but few imagine how terribly painful and dangerous it is. Hardened tar is very hard to remove from the skin, and when feathers are added it forms a kind of cement that sticks closer than a brother. As soon as the tar sets the victim's suffering begins. It contracts as it cools, and every one of the little veins on the body is pulled, causing the most exquisite agony. The perspiration is entirely stopped, and unless the tar is removed death is certain to ensue. But the removal is no easy task and requires several days. The tar cannot be softened by the application of heat and must be peeled off bit by bit, sweet oil being used to make the process less painful. The irritation to the skin is very great, as the hairs cannot be disengaged, but must be pulled out or cut off. No man can be cleaned of tar in a single day, as the pain of the operation would be too exruciating for endurance, and until this is done he has to suffer from a pain like that of 10,000 pin pricks. Numbers of men have died under the torture, and nong who have gone through it regard tar and feathering as anything but a most fearful infliction. TOBACCO IN THE ARCTIC. Resource of Miners When They Can Neither Chew Nor Smoke. "When the wind is blowing thirty miles an hour and the temperature is 40 below it is some cold," said a man from Alaska. "If a mah used tobacco in the ordinary way out of doors during such weather and got his lips wet through smoking a pipe or chewing he would be apt to get into trouble. First thing he knew he'd have his lips cracked, and they would be raw all winter long. "The regulars stationed at the military posts up in Alaska found that if they tied a tobacco leaf in their armpit previous to undesired duty they would become very sick and could pass the post surgeon for hospital, getting rid of detail work they wanted to avoid. "The miners up there learned something of this and found that the tobacco craving could be satisfied by binding a quantity of the leaf either in the armpit or against the solar plexus. This avoided broken and bleeding lips during the winter, and they weren't prevented from smoking indoors as well if they wanted to. It was the outdoor smoking or chewing that made all the trouble."-New York Sun. Way to Treat Venison. The sportsman was explaining to a few of his uninitiated friends. "If you don't like venison," he said, "it is because it has not been prepared properly. I think I know the kind you have tried to eat, and I agree with you it is not fit. After the deer has been shot the carcass probably has been allowed to lie around until the blood has discolored the meat and really has almost tainted it. Few hunters dress their gagne carefully enough. As soon as a deer is killed the carcass should be thoroughly bled, skinned, the entrails removed and the meat hung up in the dry air for some hours. Thorough and prompt bleeding is of the utmost importance. Venison prepared in this way is comparatively light in color—that is, it is a clear, bright red, and the fat is white and clean. There is no strong, rank taste." New York Press. Revenge. "Stop!" The brakes of the motor were suddenly applied, a pandemonium of whirling wheels ensued, and the motorist came face to face with Constable Coppen, who had been hiding in the hedge. "Excuse me, sir," said the portly policeman, taking out his notebook and pencil, "but you exceeded the speed limit by two miles over a measured piece of road." "I have done nothing of the klud," retorted the motorist, "and, besides"—"Well, if you don't believe me I'll call the sergeant, beln' as it was 'im as took the time. He's in the pigsty yonder." "Don't trouble, Robert," the other hastened to reply. "I would sooner pay fifty fings than disturb the sergeant at his meals!"—London Answers. Faithful Woman I tell you that women, as a rule, are more faithful than men—ten times more faithful. I never saw a man pursue his wife into the very ditch and dust of degradation and take her in his arms. I never saw a man stand at the shore where she was wrecked, waiting for the waves to bring back her corpse to his arms, but I have seen a woman with her white arms lift a man from the mire of degradation and hold him to her bosom as if he were an angel—Ingersoll. His Way of Doing: "Could the cashier of that company explain the muddle in the books?" "He said he would clear it all up." "Did he?" "No, he didn't clear it up. He cleared out."-Baltimore American. Ungallant. Henderson—I ever met with any serious accident while travelling? Henpeck—Did I? I met my wife while traveling abroad. Sorrow is an evil with many feet.—Simonides. CYCLONE FORMATION. Air Gets Warm and Light, and the Mechanical Laws Are the Same as In a Whirlpool. Any one can make the exact counterpart of a cyclone if he so desires. Of course a cyclone is caused by the air over a big area getting warm and light with small-pressure. This air consequently tries to rise almost in a body and leaves a partial vacuum behind, but the outside cold air rushes in from all sides. Now, it is a scientific and mechanical truth that when a fluid runs in from all sides toward a central point it causes a whirlpool or rotation of the fluid. The exact analogy of a cyclone, then, although with the fluid water instead of air, is seen when the stopper is pulled out of the bottom of a basin full of water. An almost perfect vacuum, as far as the water is concerned, is caused by the water immediately over the stopper running out. The rest of the water rushes in from all directions, and whirlpool is the result. There is one difference here from the air cyclone. In the air the force with which it rushes toward the center greatly compresses the air whirling at that point and makes it very dense—so dense. In fact, that a straw carried in the central whirl can be driven into a big block of wood without bending. Of course in a whirlpool the water is not compressed, remaining practically the same in density all the time. That is one highly important property of water; it is practically incompressible. Nevertheless it is very interesting to see the whirl form in a basin and know that the mechanical laws are the same as in the formation of a cyclone many miles wide—Harper's Weekly. NEW JERSEY TEA. Red Root, That Did Good Service In Revolutionary Days. You housekeepers of today whose favorite brands of Orange Pekoe, English Breakfast, India and Ceylon, etc., diffuse their fragrance over your tea table would hardly suppose that tea, or, rather, a fairly good substitute for it, was once made from the leaves of one of our prettiest New Jersey wild flowers. Yet so it was in the old turbulent days of the American Revolution, when they had so much trouble over the imported article and used various beverages as substitutes for that to which they had become accustomed. New Jersey, tea, or red root, as it is also called, is a low growing shrub with many branches, seldom over three feet high, and is found from Canada to Florida, growing usually in dry wooded sections. It is very abundant in New Jersey, for which it is named. It blooms profusely in July and is so showy, with its many panicle white blossoms, as to be quite worth a place in the gardens as an ornamental shrub. It has a dark root, with leaves downy beneath and very much veined, by which it is easily distinguished from the pure tea. An infusion of the leaves prepared in the same manner as the genuine article has somewhat the taste of ordinary grades of the tea of the orient, but is not supposed to possess any of its stimulating properties.—Exchange. Bulwer Lytton and His Chorus The Princess von Racowlissa met Bulwer Lytton in the Riviera toward the end of the fifties. He was then, she says in her autobiography, "past his first youth; his fame was at its zenith. He seemed to me antediluvian, with his long dyed curls and his old fashioned dress. He dressed exactly in the fashion of the twenties, with long coats reaching to the ankles, knee breeches and long colored wafstcoats. Also he appeared always with a young lady who adored him and who was followed by a manservant carrying a harp. She sat at his feet and appeared, as he did, in the costume of 1830, with long flowing curls, called Anglaises. He read aloud from his own works, and in especially poetic passages his 'Alice' accompanied him with arpegios on the harp." A Tree Climbing Dog. A government official in Bavaria connected with the forestry department has a wonderful dog, which is as clever at climbing trees as a cat. If his master fastens a handkerchief up in the treetops the animal will clamber up after it in the nimblest way and never falls to bring it down. He was taught by his mother, who was famous as a tree climber. The clever animal has won several medals by his extraordinary talent and takes particular delight in climbing silver birches, not the easiest tree in the world to scale, for the trunk is particularly smooth and slippery.—Wide World Magazine.

THE DEAREST GIFT. A Pathetic Incident In the Life of Robert Browning Told by an American Traveler In Italy. A young American woman was traveling one day in an Italian railway coach, the only other occupant of the compartment being an elderly gentleman. Observing the interest of the young woman in the country through which they were passing and seeing also that it was new to her, the more experienced traveler pointed out objects and places of note. From scenery the conversation drifted to books and authors, until something suggested to the young American one of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's sonnets, which she quoted. She was astonished and abashed because the gentleman made no reply, but during the rest of the ride sat looking intently out of the window, having apparently forgotten the very existence of his traveling companion. As they neared the station where the young lady was to leave the car she said timidly: "I fear, sir, that I have offended you. Perhaps you do not like Mrs. Browning's poetry." The man slowly turned upon her tear dimmed eyes, and in a voice full of emotion he said: "Madam, that sonnet is the sweetest, as its singer was the dearest, gift-God ever gave to me." Her traveling companion was Robert Browning.-Youth's Companion. A CURIOUS ANIMAL The Sea Cucumber Can Part With and Replace Its Organs. Among the curious animals which inhabit the sea we may take the holothuria, or sea cucumber, so called from its resemblance to the cucumber. When this animal is attacked by an enemy it does not stand up and fight, but by a sudden movement it ejects its teeth, stomach, digestive apparatus and nearly all its intestines and then shrivels its body up to almost nothing. When, however, the danger is past the animal commences to replace the organs which it has voluntarily parted with, and in a short time the animal is as perfect as ever it was. Dr. Johnstone kept one in water for a long time, and one day he forgot to change the water. The creature in consequence ejected its intestines and shriveled up, but when the water was changed all its organs were reproduced. Although the animal is not eaten in Europe, it is a favorite with the Chinese, and the fishing forms an important part of the industry of the east. Thousands of junks are annually used in fishing for trepang, as the animals are called.-London Tit-Bits. Cows That Never Drink The "wild cow" of Arabia, in reality an antelope, the Beatrix orry, is said never to drink, which is probably correct, for unless these animals can descend the wells they can find no drinking water for ten months in this year. There is no surface water, and rain falls but precariously during the winter. Only once during my journey did I find a pool of rainwater, caught in a hollow rock, and even this I should have passed by without knowing of its existence had not my camels sniffed it from a distance and obstinately refused to be turned from going in that direction. These antelope, however, are provided by nature with a curious food supply, especially designed as a thirst quencher. This is a parasite which grows on the roots of the desert bushes and forms a long spadix full of water and juice. The antelope dig deep holes in the sand in order to get at these.—Wide World Magazine. Easily Explained. "They have to admit in the old world," said a New York theatrical man, "that we've got them beaten on every count. Talk 'o them about the matter and they can only quibble. "Oh, yes," said an English banker to me the other day, "you've got a great country, the greatest country in the world, there's no denying that." "Then he gave a nasty laugh. "But look at your fires," he said. "Your terrible fires are a disgrace to mankind." "Oh, our fires," said I, "are due to the friction caused by our rapid growth." Kindness to Animals "What I believe in," said Mr. Erastus Pinkly, "is kindness to dumb animals." "Yes," replied Miss Miami Brown, "I has hyuhed dat some folks kin lift a chicken off de roos' so gentle an' tender dat he won't have his sleep disturbed ska'sely none."—Washington Star. Spitaful "Yes," sald the engaged girl, "Dick is very methodical. He gives me one kiss when he comes and two when he goes away." "That's always been his way," returned her dearest friend. "I've heard lots of girls comment on it." Thus it happens that they cease to speak to each other. "The leading question," said the colonel, "is the financial one." "Right," replied the major, "and I was just about to ask you to add $5 to that $10 I borrowed from you yesterday."—Uncle Remus' Magazine. Trouble springs from idleness and grievous toll from needless ease.—Franklin. A DEED OF DARING. One Man Swam to Sinking Vessel Twenty-seven Times, Returning Every Time With a Human Being. A historic case of daring and endurance rarely equaled in life saving annuals was that of the rescue of twenty-seven souls by one man in 1867. The fishing schooner Sea Clipper was driven by the tempest against a reef near the Spotted islands on that coast and speedily went to pieces. Captain William Jackman, in charge of a fishing crew at these islands, had wandered in a direction he had never been before as if by inspiration and suddenly saw the whole tragedy enacted before his eyes. Hurrying his one companion back to the fishing station to summon help, he plunged into the howling swirl himself and eleven times swam to the ship. Each time he took back a human being to safety, battling splendidly against wind and tide. Then help arrived, but no means was available of communicating with the vessel, so Jackman fastened a rope around his waist and made fifteen more trips, returning with a castaway on each occasion. It was then discovered that a woman had been overlooked and left on board, and the belief was expressed that she was dead, but he declared that he would not leave her there, living or dead. Accordingly he plunged into the surf again and soon bore the hapless creature to the shore, where, divesting himself of his fianches, he wrapped them round her, as she was almost at death's door. She expired a few hours later, but lived long enough to thank her preserver for his noble efforts in her behalf.—Wide World Magazine. BROUGHT UP HOT WATER. The Friction of the Boat Made the Ocean Almost Boil. The steamship was speeding over seas with a record breaking list of passengers when one of the gay, young and inquiring girls who are found on every trip skipped up to the captain and asked: "Captain, are we really going fast? It seems as if we were just crawling." "Fast," answered the captain gruffly, "of course we're going fast. With nothing to see but water and sky you can't judge our speed, but, my dear young lady, the friction of the boat is so great it makes the water hot at." "I don't believe it," piggled the girl, and the captain, with a great show of indignation, called for a rope and bucket to prove his words. These brought, he slung the pall down aft of the vessel directly under the drainpipe of the galley, where hot water runs all day, and brought it up smoking, to the astonishment of the awstruck girl. A long, lean Yankee who had been watching the performance then came forward and drawned, "Say, cap, that must make you change your course mighty often." "Change my course?" blustered the captain. "What would I change my course for?" "Well," said the Yankee slowly, "so darn much friction as that must wear the ocean out mighty quick."—Philadelphia Times. Sugar. Our word "sugar" is said to be derived from the Arabic "sukkar," the article itself having got into Europe through the Arabian Mohammedans, who overran a great part of the world in the seventh, eighth and ninth centuries. According to Dr. Van Lippman, a Dutch writer, as a result of the Arab invasion of Persia sugar found its way into Arabia, whence again its culture was carried to Cyprus, Rhodes, Sicily and Egypt. In the last named country the preparation of sugar was greatly improved, and the Egyptian product became widely famous. From Egypt the industry spread along the northern coasts of Africa and so entered Spain, where, about the year 1150, some fourteen refineries were in operation. Columbus introduced sugar cane into the new world.—Argonaut. His Bad Dream Truly oriental was the defense put forward by, a prisoner at Allpore. Charged with stealing a Hindu idol with its ornaments, he stated that the goddess told him in a dream the night before that, as she was not properly worshiped by the Hindu priest, she would be better taken care of by him, a Mohammedan, and that unless he took charge of her worship she would in her wrath destroy his whole family. The magistrate, however, was not satisfied with the story and sentenced the accused to two months' rigorous imprisonment and to pay a fine.—Bombay Gazette.

For this purpose it has been deter. mined ‘to hold at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Wednesday, Thursday’ and Friday, April 17, 18 and 19, 3912, 2 little more than a year from this time, an international conference on the Negro. Such a conference as_ this will offer the opportunity for those engaged in any kind of service in Af- rica, or the countries above mention- ed, to become more intimately ac- quainted with the work and the prob- lems of Africa and these other coun- tries. Such a meeting will be valua- ble and helpful, also, in so far as it will give opportunity for a general in- tercharige of ideas in organizing and systematizing the work of education of the native peoples in Africa and elsewhere and the preparation of teachers for that work. Wider know!l- edge of the work that each is doing should open means of co-operation that do not now éxist. The object of calling: this confer- ence at Tuskegee Institute is to af- ford an opportunity for studying the methods employed in helping the Ne- gro people of the United States, with a view of deciding to what extent Tuskegee and Hampton methods may be applied to conditions in these coun- tries, as well as to conditions in Af- rica, It is hoped that numbers of people representing the different govern- ments interested in Africa and the West Indies, as well as representa- tives from the United States and the countries of South America, will de- cide to attend this conference. Es- pecially is it urged that missionary and other workers in these various countries be present and take an act- ive part in the deliberations of the conference. It is desirable, in any case, to have aly suggestions as to what might be done to make the work of the con- ference more helpful to all concerned. The names of persons who would like to be present, with whom you are ac- quainted, will be appreciated, and through you they are invited to be Present and take part in the delibera- tions of‘the conference. Those who come to Tuskegee prop- erly accredited will be welcomed and entertained as guests of the institu- tion, and will be under no expense during their stay here. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

Is Due to Heating of Gases Along the Line of Electric Discharge. ‘To- Professor Trowbridge we owe an experiment to explain the nolse of thunder: It has usually been thought that the noise is caused by the clos- ing up of the vacuum created by the Passage of lightning, the air rushing in from all sides with 2 clap, but the intensity of the noise 1s rather dis- Proportionate, and it is now supposed that the thunder {s due to the Intense heating off the gases, especially the | gas of water vapor along the line of thie electric discharge, and the conse- quent conversion of suspended mols- ‘ture Into steam at enormous pressure. __ In this way the crackle with which a peal of thunder sometimes begins ‘might be regarded as the sound of ‘Steam explosions on a small scale, caused by inductive discharges before the main flash. The rumble would be the overlapping steam explosions, and the final clap, which soundest loudest, would be the steam explosion nearest to the auditor. In the case of rum- bling thunder the lightning is passing from cloud to cloud. When, the flash passes from the earth to the clouds the clap ts loudest at the beginning. Professor Trowbridge gave sub- stance to these suppositions by caus- ing electric flashes to pass from point to point through terminals clothed in soaked cotton wool, and he succeeded in magnifying the crack of the elec- tric spark to a terrifying extent.—Lon- don Graphic. THE BIG DIPPER. Celestial Clock. ‘The pole star is really the most im- portant of the stars Ir our uky. It marks the north at all times, It alone is fixed In the heavens. All the other stars seem to swing around it-once in twenty-four hours, But ‘the pole star of Polaris is not a vers bright one, and it would be hard to identify but for the help of the so called pointers in the “Big Dipper,” or “Great Bear.” ‘The outer rim of the dipper points:nearly to Polaris at 2 distance equal to three times the space that ‘separates the two stars of the dipper’s outer side. Various Indians called the pole star the “Home Star” and the “Star That Never Moves,” and the dipper they call the “Broken Back.” The “Great Bear” is also ta be remem- bered as the pointers for another rea- son. It is the hour hand of the wood- man’s clock. It goes once around the north star in about twenty-four hours, the reverse way of the hands of a watch—that Ix, it goes the same way as the sun—and for the same reasofi— that it is the earth that Is going and leaving them behind.—Country Life In America. A Blow Arrested. An organist who on the eve of a fes- tival was taken suddenly JI secured a deputy to take his place. The depu- ty, on the authority of $t. James’ Budget, was a gentleman ‘who played a very fall orn, playing full chords where his principal played only single notes, and consequently using a much larger quantity of wind. When about three parts thronzh with the “Hallelijah Chorus” the wind sud- denly gave out. Going round to the hack of the organ to ascertain the 1ea- son, the deputy found the blower in the act of putting on his coat prepara- tory to going home, = “What do you mean by such beliv- for?” the deputy anzrily expostulated, “Look here, sir.” the blower returned with warmth, “if you think I don't know ‘ow many pulfs it takes to blow the *’AMlelujah Chorus’ you make a big mistake!” Heloed the Thief. “A shuple, honest Scotch farmer had taken a sack of meal te dispose of in aberdeen castle market.” says Mrs Mayo in her “Recollections of Fifty Years.” “It was in the days when people were hanged for any petty theft, and an execution was in proz- ress, the culprit being a sheep stealer. The worthy countryman stood aghast when a stranger bustled up with the question: “What's alo? “eS hanging? said the other, awed. “for stealing a sheep, “Eh, what won't folks risk- for gear? cried the stranger. ‘Will ye just give me a hand up with tls sack? “The farmer promptly complied.

Whitney Got the Idea From the Work of an Old Negro. Eli Whitney, the inventor of the cot- ton gin, got the germ of his great idea from seeing through the interstices of a but an old acgro- work a hand saw among the freshly picked cotton stored within. . The teeth of the saw tore the lint from the seed easily and quickly, and young Whitney (he was barely thir- teen at the time) realized at once that 2 machine working a number of sim!- lar saws simultaneously would revolu- tlonize the cotton growing industry. He said nothing to anybody. but set to work building models and experi- menting. His difficulties were enor- mous, for he not only had to make his own wheels, cogs. etc., but he liad also first to forge his own tools and even to manufacture the paint wherewith to color his many plans and drawings. But he succeeded In the end, and, though the outbreak of war and other hindrances prevented the invention from being actually placed upon the market until many years afterward, the first complete cotton gin ever ¢on- structed was built frém those very models and plans and qwith searcely a single alteration. The Springbok. A peculiarity of that most beautiful of South African antelopes the spring- bok fs that Jt always leaps over human tracks.

The leap Is exceeding- ly graceful, and the animal covers from twelve to fifteen feet nt each bound, It drops on all four fect at once and immediately rises again, making x clear spring without any ron. 1s usual gait when not pursned is a Heht spriugy trot. The springbok uvually travels With Its nose to the ground, as If con- stantly on the fookout for the scent of enemies. ‘ BR Bbatcte cRlncd: Among common aninnis few bave been less studied in thbir life history than the mole. Mr. Lionel E, Adams says that under the “fortress” which the mole constructs above the surface of the ground will always be found a serfes of tunnels running out beneath the adjacent field. A curious feature almost invariably found is a. perpien- dicular run penetrating about a foot below the bottom of the nest and then turning upyward to mect another run. A mole‘ly never found in his nest, al- though ft may yet be warm from his boly when opened. Guided by smell and hearing, a mole frequently loentes the nest of a partridge or pleasant abore his run and, penetrating it from below, eats the eggs. The adult mote Is practically blind, but there are em- bryonic indications that the power of sight in the race has deteriorated.

Throughout Asla “holy places” are almost us numerous ag leaves on a tree, but iu Ceylon Is a mountain which enjoys the unique distinction of being a very holy place to the devotees of three absolutely distinct and confilct- Ing religious sects. This is Adsm’a Peak, or Samanala, 7 According to the Mohammedan be Mef, Adam, after the fall, was taken by an angel to the top of Samanala, and a panorama of all the ills that through sin should afflict mankind was spread out before hiin, His foot left an impression on the solid rock, and his tears formed the lake from which Pilgrims still drink. The Buddhists contend that it was not Adam, but Buddha himself that made the foot- Print in the rock, that being the last spot where he touched the earth be- fore ascending to heaven, while the Brahmins have still another legend.
