THE BEE WASHINGTON Long预备馆Library MAKING A SUCCESS Remarkable Work In New York UPLIFT OF COLORED GIRLS GRACE CAMPBELL, SUCCESSFUL PROBATION APPOINTEE DECLARES GIRLS' DEVELOPMENT AND RECLAMATION IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT MENTAL TRAINING. WHITE OR BLACK, ALL ARE HUMAN BY VIOLA JUSTIN From The Evening Mail, New York, July 25. Grace Campbell is her name, and at the Criminal Court building she is known as one of the most successful probation officers. She is the first and only one of her race, and she has attracted a great deal of attention by her work in the Tombs. Miss Campbell is doing fine work here, and there isn't anyone who will not respond to her sympathy. She is an ideal disciplinarian. This is Probation Officer D. E. Kimball's tribute to his feminine coworker: When I saw Miss Campbell at the National League for the Protection of Colored Women she explained how she had been drawn to the work thru her interest in kindergarten teaching in Chicago and Washington. Like her father and mother, Miss Campbell was a graduate of theHoward University, at Washington. Her father is a minister and was born in British West Indies. Her mother was a Washington woman. Miss Campbell has large, soft, brown eyes and a quantity of black hair. It is her eyes that make the most eloquent appeal, although her soft, well-modulated voice is almost as persuasive. "Do you think there is any difference in the attitude of the colored girl and the white girl when you appeal to them to reform?" I inquired. "No," she replied. "I think human nature is the same, no matter what the color of the skin. I consider that mental deficiency is one of the greatest causes of crime in all races. I believe that there ought to be schools for the mentally deficient, where the nature of the defect might be studied, as well as the possibility of educating the delinquents in some work that would appeal to them and thus make useful citizens of them, instead of treating them as criminals and exposing them to further temptation in institutions. "The most stubborn cases, I find, respond to sympathy and the proper kind of discicpline. Investigation shows that the colored girl is very often a victim of an employment agent who has lured her from her Southern home with promises of plenty of work. The girl, flattered by these assurances, leaves her home with little or no money, few clothes, and absolutely destitute of experience. She reaches the big city peniless, and has no place to go. Of course, the lure of the North for Southern colored woman is just the same for the Southern white woman who hopes to obtain employment here. The League's Protecting Hand. "But where there is protection for the white girl there is not so much for the Negro. The National League for the Protection of Colored Women first of all tries to prevent the colored woman from coming North, but then if she has made a mistake and arrived here we try to find a place for her as soon as we possibly can. My work at the docks puts me in touch with many of these girls, for I am not at the court the whole day. "I know that the temptations of these innocent colored girls from the rural districts are great. The lost address to a friend or a decent lodging house is one source of a girl's downfall. She must be properly sheltered the first night she arrives in the city, or perhaps an agent, seeking girls for purposes of which the victims are ignorant, come into possession of them and then follows the life of misery and disgrace. "The girls who find their way to the night courts are often victims of these spurious employment agents. If they can only be reached in time a few words will put them on the right road. We find proper lodgings for them and legitimate work is supplied by the League, which has associations in Philadelphia, New York Memphis and Baltimore. The same good work is done in these other cities. "The majority of people forget that the colored race is not naturally vicious or shiftless, but that lack of proper training and the fact that they have been so long oppressed militates against their development. THE CORREY GIRL (By Isaiah Mitchell, Sr., of Denver, Colorado.) Editor of The Bee: I am responsible for whatever I write. In your issue of July 15, regarding the Juvenile Court sending the Correy girl to the Home for the Homeless, instead of the Reform School, where all girls are sent for mild offenses, you inquired, "What does it mean?" Your query moved the Associated Charities here to seek a place elsewhere for her, as it appeared in the Star Sunday, the 16th instant. In The Bee of the 22d instant appeared an answer to "What does it mean?" The Bee observed that the judge of that court said, if the girl was colored, "he would have known what to do with her." Can any sane person, having any knowledge of human nature, doubt the meaning of such an expression from the judge of that Court? It is in keeping with the spirit and political atmosphere that emanate from the White House; that sentiment is reflected in every branch of this government. The President has announced a new doctrine toward colored American citizens. The subordinates of this administration, from the highest to the lowest, have inherited that spirit and are putting it into execution. The President said recently "the Negro must be treated as a distinct race." We have been fighting race discrimination in the courts, the exclusion of colored citizens and taxpayers from office under the local government, and the segregation of colored clerks in the departments of the national government. Everyone now know your devotion to the colored American race. They all know you stand for right and justice. You have pointed out the trend of the political atmosphere of this administration. I am justified in asking you Has not the unusual action toward us, as American citizens, caused you to grasp the situation here yet? Reflect back thirty-nine years ago, after Reconstruction days, what the political atmosphere was then, reflected from the White House toward us as American citizens? Our first diplomat was appointed to Haiti. Senator Hamlin, of Maine, said: "Mr. President, it is too soon to be appointing colored men to these high positions." The President replied: "I tried the colored troops at Deep Bottom, Petersburg and elsewhere; they proved themselves good and brave soldiers. Mr. Bassett is an educator and scholar, and will make a good minister." Now, that is all we ask of any President, be he Republican or Democrat: take us upon our merits, as he does all other American citizens. We don't care about the goodness of his heart toward us; we ask that he obey his oath of office taken to God, and the American people. "From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. In transmitting his message to the Senate, on the 28th ult., upon the Alaskan land controversy, the President said he was alone responsible for his acts. In that affair he acted under a United States statute. How much more is he responsible for the lives of American citizens slain because of his non-action in executing the Constitution and laws of the country.

F.M.C. GOWAN "WHITE CHIEF" Those who lament the passing of the picturesque from our political life should take a trip to the sunny Southland — where, according to the thermometer, it has not been so hot of late as in the North— and see how ex-Governor Vardaman is conducting his campaign for election to the An authorized delegation recently called on the President to have Congress take action upon the murder and lynching of colored citizens. He informed them that he had no authority to interfere; that it belonged entirely to the States! Has he protested against those almost unspeakable crimes, that are so barbarous that words cannot be discovered in the English language sufficiently strong to denounce them? If his heart was really good toward his colored fellow citizens he has had sufficient time to show it since October 28, 1910, when three of God's noblemen knocked out Maryland's election law grandfathers' clause in the United States Court of Appeals before Judge Morris. The Court declared that the law violated the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution; he also fined the election officers under the United States statutes. Maryland appealed the case to the Supreme Court. The President can have any case advanced and disposed of before that court. The case has been before the court over eight months before it adjourned. While pending, the recess of the court the President can ask an opinion of the Attorney General upon any or all of these disfranchising constitutions and disqualifying statutes of the Southern States; such an opinion would stop the carnival of death until the Supreme Court meets again. Keep up your fight; the powers will feel its effect and by united action of all of our people it will be impossible to keep the colored American citizens down. 1823 Vermont Ave N.W., Washington, D. C., July 29, 1911. THE HOWARD. The Howard Theatre opens for one week Monday, August 7, with "The Smart Set" in a new three-act musical comedy, "The Mayor of New Town." The piece is one that will command much attention this season, as it is one of the cleverest musical introductions ever produced. Salem Tutt Whitney, for whom the piece was written, has been surrounded by a company of the leading colored artists of the country, and will be seen at his best in the new play. The three acts have been crowded with musical numbers and there are twenty-one big, new, novel, catchy songs introduced during the action of the three acts. The music being arranged by Mr. Trevor Corwell is a guarantee of its class and whistling order. There will be a new introduction in the way of a double chorus consist- national Senate. Mississippi voters are being thrilled by the appearances of the "white chief," as his supporters term him, to such an extent that riots, in which fists and revolvers have been freely used, have occurred. The "White Chief" appeared in Meridian in a chariot drawn by 160 white oxen. At each animal's head walked a white torch bearer. White ing of thirty-two pretty and talented young ladies, whose singing and dancing will excel anything ever before presented in this city. The singing contingency is warranted, as there will be a corps of voices that will surpass all previous efforts in this line. The staging of the piece is elaborate in detail, the scenery being designed and constructed by Landeur & Co., of New York. The costuming is gorgeous and in keeping with the surroundings. The company of forty-eight people takes the road at the end of the Howard engagement and will play only the principal cities of the country this season, going direct from here to Cincinnati. The house will reopen August 28, when "The Missouri Girl" will be the offering. The following attractions are booked to appear there the coming season: "Paid in Full," "Northern Lights," "The Thief," "The Smart Set," with S. H. Dudley and Aida Overton Walker; "The Holy City," "Lion and the Mouse," "Rosland at Red Gate," "Road to Yesterday," "The Light That Shone," "Hello, Bill," "Down in Dixie Minstrels," "The Man Who Dared," "Dandy Dixie Minstrels," "A Royal Coon," "Lena Rivers," "Black Patti," and many other high-class attractions, the date of which will be announced from time to time. It is safe to say that Howard patrons will have plenty and of the best attractions this year. A RISING MAN. Rev. J. A. Barton, a Baptist minister, a graduate of Howard University, is one of the quiet, humble, unostentatious young ministers of the Gospel who is fast rising into prominence. Employed by day in the Interior Department, he pursued his studies in the University, and not only completed the course, but kept up his post-graduate studies, and now is one of the foremost young preachers in the Baptist Church. To our young friend, who has devoted his life to the Gospel ministry, and has come up through much tribulation, we are glad to extend the right hand of fellowship and wish him Godspeed in his noble work. You will all hear more of Brother Boston, one of our rising young men. CONCERT COMPANY. Moore's original concert company gave one of the grandest entertainments on the 28th ult. ever held in the Second Baptist Church, commencing at 9.30 p.m., and closing at 10.45. It was a pleasure and laughter from start to finish; everyone who witnessed the performance commends the company, composed of Rev. L. C. streamers above the oxen bore the legend: "Vote for the White Chief and Uphold the White, South." On the back of each ox twas a white man clad in white. The candidate, in spotless white linen, waved a big white hat at the crowd, his long hair falling to his shoulders or streaming to the breezes that blew over shouting, frenzied men and women eager to press his hand. Moore; his accomplished wife, and Miss Edith Green,- their adopted daughter, of the High School of this city. This company is a credit to the race, and is without an equal. The company will soon be incorporated. RECORDER RETURNS. Recorder Henry Lincoln Johnson, who went to Philadelphia, Pa., to take part in the imposing ceremonies of the Supreme Court of Odd Fellows, returned to the city Monday highly pleased. In speaking to a representative of The Bee he said, among other things, that the threatened dissolution of the Louisiana Odd Fellows has been satisfactorily settled. The exercises were imposing and interesting. MASONIC NOTES The Lady Chapters and Courts have taken recess until September, owing to the very warm weather. There are about one thousand ladies in the Eastern Star Order in the District of Columbia, and one chapter in West Virginia. A. A. O. N. M. S. Ill. Bogges, potentate of Mecca Temple, is gathering up a large number of the Sons of the Desert, who will cross the hot sands about August 15 and will seek shelter under the Dome.

PARAGRAPHIC NEWS Important News Happenings of the Week DEVOTED TO GENERAL INTEREST (By Miss G. B. Maxfield.) Tuskegee Institute is to receive a gift of a hospital to be known as the John A. Andrew Hospital, after the late Governor Andrew. The givers of the hospital do not wish their names to be made public. Anna R. Southwick, in her will, bequeathed $500 to the home for aged colored women in Massachusetts and $100 each to the two nurses who had taken care of her. Miss Sarah Wilkes, of Nantucket, Mass., won a scholarship for the Boston University for 1911. This is the second successive scholarship won by Miss Wilkes. She is the only colored female student at the University. Last year there were 12,000 dog tags issued, while this year only about one-third of that number are out. There are at present 4,615 dog licenses issued, while according to the recent census there are 15,000 dogs in the District. According to an exchange, 268 persons were killed by the heat during the recent hot spell, 159 in Philadelphia, and 319 in New England. The War Department has sent to Congress a request for $250,000 in addition to the $500,000, already appropriated to continue the work of raising the Maine in Havana harbor. Purser Thomas Kinsey, who for many years has been in the service of the American Line, declares he has made one thousand trips across the Atlantic Ocean, a total distance of 3,000,000 miles. Hookworm dispensaries in several counties in Georgia during the past month have met with unusual success, and a request has been made of the Rockefeller Hookworm Commission to allow the dispensaries to remain longer.

Three thousand and seventy Union soldiers fell, and 2,592 Confederates, a total of 5,662. Those who died of wounds are not included. July is noted for its many historic events, and especially the 27th. In 1901 the battleship Maine was launched at Philadelphia to replace the battleship which is now being raised in Havana Harbor. It is also the anniversary of outbreak of war between Japan and China, which began in 1894, and of a revolutionary outbreak in Paris in 1830. On the same date in 1757 Franklin reached London as colonial agent. William Filtz, nine years of age, died of heart trouble last week. He weighed 650 pounds.

A BLIGHT B7 ELIZABETH WEED 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 by the further recolon of the one looking at her that she was only heightening the disreceable 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 class. 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 a 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 afflicted, 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 bearing, 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, "those 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 replied, "You snow 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 yielded. 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 were removed, though the scar remained, the expression on the face had entirely changed. Dr. Emerson is facetious in his remarks upon how he kept rifals from the girl he wanted and whom as his wife he considers a treasure. A Ring at The Doorbell B7 LOUISE IDA ROSS Mr. and Mrs. Trevor were sitting one October evening before a blazing wood fire—the 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 pigaback 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 new 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 recklessness that they may make a mesaillance, 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 Madge 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 coarse 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. 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 ahield him from the blow. "Y' needn't be afraid o' me," said the woman, "if you'll give me somehin' 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." "Mammals" 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, dearie. 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 number abover—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." Feeling a Part 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 cravat. 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 niggh trader. Ma wife an' pickainnies won't nebber see me no no!" "I found that his master, a planter, had taken him to Catro 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, air;' 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 euchre. 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 thimberling 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 rootless 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 sin of gambling and returned to the guards. I was followed by the planter, who said to me: "Pe'mit me, suh, to say to yo' that you're the first man of the cloth that has eveh 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 —, Mississippi. If yo' will accept it it shall be yo's 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." THE GILA MONSTER By DAVID WALTER CHURCH Little Inez Basquimento, 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 Basquimento veranda the twang of Inez's guitar, her 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 ringing of child and woman—child in experience, woman in development; that she will fall in love with you and then"— "Till 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 goodby 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 flicking 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 hitten me. I'm gone up." Her 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 died. 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 or 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, sir," 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, grouped 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 luxuriant 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: "Elisha, are you going to sleep all day? Get up!" It was Mrs. Brown, in dishahille 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, ps. 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, 1910, by Associated Literary Press.] Miss Emulce 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 widowed mother in the village, and he worked a little farm just outside. Ahner 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 lked Ahner and bore with him, but she was getting rather tired of it when her Aunt Hannah came on a visit. Aunt Hannah saw Ahner 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 yett laughs when I get mad." "Then set in and criticise his feet, his nose, his eyebrows. Tell him that hops the homelist 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 Emuice was sent on an arrand 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 Amner, 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 home-lest 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 abled to the left. It stopped for a moment at a gooseberry bush and then dodged and jumped clear over a crabsapple tree. There were yelling and screaming from the inmate of the barrel, but Abner stood and watched the circus and shouted back: "Tm 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 armla' 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!" THE BEE Published at 2109 Eye St., N. W., Washington, D. C. W. CALVIN CHASE, EDITOR.

One copy per year in advance...$2.00 Six months.....1.00 Three months......50 Subscription monthly.....20 BISHOP WALTERS Bishop Alexander Walters, who mixes his religion with politics occasionally, in order to produce an article he labels race interest and race loyalty, now and then is inconsistent. For instance, his latest interview says he feels kindlier toward President Taft since the appointment of Mr. Lewis, but he cannot condone the wholesale removal of colored officeholders in the South, and that he is preparing to effect an organization of colored voters to support the presidential candidate who assures the most for the race. The logical conclusion would be that this organization the Bishop proposes will support President Taft, but Bishop Walters lets it be known that his organization will be the black tail to the Democratic kite. He says that he now feels kindlier toward the President since his appointment of Mr. Lewis, but in the next breath intimates he will co-operate and support the party which held Mr. Lewis' confirmation up for three months, and would have defeated it had it not been for the interest and activity shown by the man who made the appointment — the President himself. Now how can Bishop Walters consider himself consistent? And Bishop Walters' intended support of the 'Dtmocratic party is not only inconsistent, but indefensible when the efforts which that party is continually putting forth to block our progress is considered. Only last week the Democrats of Georgia proposed a law that will forever disfranchise the colored voters of that State, and what Georgia does the other Southern States will also do. Most Negro Democrats are soldiers of fortune; that is, they are simply unprincipled grafters who will support anybody, at any time, and under any circumstances, for a small cash payment, but we have never considered Bishop Walters exactly in that class, although practically all of his followers are. We give the Bishop credit for being sincere in his desire to help his race, but we cannot be influenced by a man who advocates the support of a party that has disfranchised us in nearly every State south of Mason and Dixon Line, and a party now proposing to make that disfranchisement permanent and constitutional by applying a Georgia act. In Georgia they propose to make not education or property possession a requisite for an elector, but "character and proper respect for women," and white Southern, Negro-hating Democrats will sit as prosecutor, judge and jury in every case where a colored man attempts to prove he possesses the necessary qualifications to vote in Georgia. Bishop Walters should move to Georgia where he will be in close touch with his Democratic party. THE WHITE NEGRO. We have the so-called white We have had this class of Negroes among us for a number of years, and they continue to parade among us and hold government positions by virtue of being Negroes. They may be seen at the Monacan Assemblies and other social gatherings, claiming to be the biggest Negroes in the crowd. We see them in the day time holding high heads, walking alone or in company with some second-class white man. The Bee is aware of two or three of this class that go in debt to be in company with a second-class white man. At other social functions given by the respectable colored people in this city these individuals are always present, and how they get their invitations The Bee does not know. Investigate their pedigree, if you please. What will you find? Corroding beings who have no standing at their own homes, and for fear of cankering they leave their homes for this city. Our social circle is in need of renovation. The society craze in this city is something shameful, as well as disgraceful. It is but one thought uppermost in the minds of the white Negro and the cancerous individuals who have been menaces to our social circle. The Bee wonders what the mothers of these young girls are doing or thinking about. Young men who don't seem to have any respect for the female sex, and seem to have but one ambition. Is the young man or the young woman to blame? Is the mother or the father to blame? The man has no time to tarry with a young woman if he is to entertain her mother or father. Conditions are of such character that the girl is warned against these eating concerns. There are less marriages today than has ever been known in the history of our city. Separations, divorces, etc., are numerous. The white Negro is persona non grata in the white social world, and among his own people he arrogates superiority. This city contains many distinguished families and citizens who do not parade themselves before the public to make themselves look notorious. The citizens of Washington never had such a problem before. In former years they lived in peace and happiness; our social circle was a gem, and its people were of the purest and most sacred in their virtues. The city is monopolized by the "Jim Crow" Negro, who is another menace to our society. The white and colored citizens of Washington live upon terms of friendship before the advent of the "Jim Crow" and "white Negro." We have some of the finest and purest young ladies in the world in this city who have respect for themselves and their honor. The only remedy that The Bee can suggest is to give the "white" and "Jim Crow" Negro the ticket of leave man. ALABAMA TEST The most recent and the most notorious citizenship test is the law to be adopted by the Alabama Legislature. This is the most idiotic that has ever been suggested. It is as idiotic as is the attempt of a few Democratic Negroes to vote the Democratic ticket. The moral character of the individual must be above the standard; or of such a nature that will pass muster. By such means the Democratic party will disfranchise the entire male voting population, not because the moral character of the voter is bad, but because he is a colored American. The Democratic party South, that is the unreasonable demands in the Democratic party, will degrade the colored Americans. The THE INDICTMENT there are some disgruntled men in this country, and fancied grievances. Sent an imaginary indictorist the administration of oceana the Democratic parties and jurors. The plenary administration is not given the indictment has been. The substance of the statement is: First — An effort on the Republican party to the colored American agen "Jim Crow" car law. Second — Denouncing as unnatural the enactment of franchising the colored American. Third — Republican legalists defending the colored American against segregation and truth — Recognizing Americans who are competent appointed to responsible jobs under the present administration. Fourth — Foregoing are a few cases in the indictment age administration which democratic party sits as jurors. Fifth — The colored voter who he was relieved of the session is giving encouragement to the prosecution. Sixth — The colored voter sane or insane will Bishop Walters, Cumner and others answer the question to the indictment? MR. TAFT. the country is for the repon and election of Presen. He has placed the coon a business basis which edit throughout the civid. FIGHT ON! Well, I met my friend the other day who worked me for $25 to take a plunge in the surf at Atlantic City. He's back, very much back. I was sitting in a certain cafe Monday afternoon, eating a deviled crab—badly deviled, too — when I heard someone in the next room say: "Waiter, I guess you might bring us two springs broiled, some French fried, a couple of Dogshead — better start off with a couple of Martini's—and, well, bring those along and we'll see what more we want." The order for two springs broiled made my little old one measly crab look like a dried herring on exhibition over at the Smithsonian. The order just gave me a Pierrepont Morgan appetite. Just for curiosity I thought I would take a peep into the next room and see who the millionaire was who was occupying it. One peep was too many. Who do you think it was? Why, the daub who worked me for twenty-five legal tenders to go to Atlantic City while I had to remain here and economize. When I saw him I simply lost my senses. There he was sitting up there with a dashing near-widow, just as if he was John Hays Hammond entertaining King George, and ordering a Cafe Republicue bill of fare. I went back, looked at my crab, turned it over, smelt it a couple few times, then got up, walked downstairs, to an imaginary "Dead March from Saul," and went out into the street and got a case of fresh air. If it had not been for the fresh ozone I got I would have keeled over. I have been looking for him ever since, but he dodges me. You can just say your rosary over twice if when I do meet him I don't tell him a few things. And what I say won't look good in plain type. "A couple of springs broiled!" And me trying to erect an appetite for a crab that was fast maturing! What some of these "friends" will do to you ain't according to Hoyle. If he was a married man I could get even by going round and telling his wife that I saw him with a dashing near-widow, and she would do the rest. But he ain't married. He's a single fellow, and the only thing I can do, without getting into the hands of some of these lawyers, is just to tell him a few things in English without any regard for the purity of the language. And rely upon it, I'll tell him. I can't stand for a fellow forcing me to eat matured crabs while he orders springs broiled on "mah" money. I was standing in the Rue del Morgue the other day — that's Ninth street in front of the Ford Dabney—when two statesmen came up—very near statesmen—and got to discussing the Controller Bay incident. If Taft had heard them elucidate on Chuga reserve, Okalee channel, mud flats, and all, he would have phoned Ford to send them right over to the White House after he had run them around the vaudeville circuit a couple of times. What they knew about Alaska, the Cunnigham claim, etc. would have made J. C. Cunningham the professional card-writer, go mad. It's funny to me how the President overlooks some of this near-statesmen timber around here when he's making selections for his Cabiner. And it's funny to me why Ford Dabney does not have a dog catcher out in front of his place to grab some of these near-statesmen for the variety stage. And it wouldn't coshim anything for their services either for you never saw a near-statesman who wouldn't give his services free He likes to pose, talk loud, look wise and say nothing. Just heap big wind that's all. And if you throw one on two Rhine wines under the belt they will talk till the moon changes DEATH OF MR. KEYS. A telegram announcing the sad intelligence of the death of her youngest brother, Mr. Samuel J. Keyes which occurred at Oakland, California, Sunday, July 30, has just been received by Mrs. J. T. C. Newsom of 13th street. Young Keyes went to engage in the Pullman service when quite youth, and had enjoyed good health until recently. The body will be brought East, and interment had at Hazlehurst, Miss the home of the older sisters. The Bee extends its most cordial sympathies to Mrs. Newsom in this hour of her affliction.

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 excruciating 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 none 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 man 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 detall work they wanted to avoid. "The miners up there learned something of this and found that the tobacco craving could be satisfied by blinding 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 game 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 Coppem, 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 kind," retorted the motorist, "and, besides" "Don't trouble, Robert," the other hastened to reply. "I would sooner pay fifty fines 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, wafting 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—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, Indla and Ceylon, etc., diffuse their fragrance over your tea table would hardly suppose that ten, 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 panicles white blossoms, as to be quite worth a place in the gardens as an ornamental shrub. It has a dark red root, with leaves downy beneath and very much veined, by which it is easily distingushed 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 Racowitsa met Bülwer Lytton in the Riviera toward the end of the fifteens. 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 waistcoats. 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 Anglases. He read aloud from his own works, and in especially poetic passages his 'Alice' accompanied him with arpeggios 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.

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 travelling 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. Gows That Neves Drink The "wild cow" of Arabia, in reality an antelope, the Beatrix oryx, 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 the 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 to 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. Sniteful. "Yea," said 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. Fell In With the Argument. "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.

A historic case of daring and endurance rarely equaled in life saving annals was that of the rescue of twenty-seven souls by one man in 1567. 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. Hurryling 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 flannels, 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 grumily, "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 off." "I don't believe it," giggled 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 drawled, "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. Hia 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. When the Loss Was Felt.
