Wichita Searchlight

THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT By Mr.Jerome Dowd.In Century Magazine of Dec.1900 All primary schools for the Negroes should be equipped for industrial training in such work as sewing,cooking,laundering.carpentry,and house-cleaning,and,in rural districts.in elementary agriculture not contributing to bread winning, have a refining and softening influence upon character, and inspires effort. to make home more attractive.The more interest the Negro takes in his personal appearance and in the comforts of his home, Secondary schools should add to the literary courses a more advanced course in industrial trainin, so as to approach as nearly as possible the objects and methods of Tuskegee and Hampton Industrial and Normal Schools. Too much cannot be said in behalf of the revolution in the life and work of the Negro which the work of these schools promises and, in part, has already wrought. The writter is fully a rare that education has a value aside from and above its bread winning results, and he would not dissuade the Negro from seeking the highest culture that he may be capable of; but it is folly for him to wing his way through the higher realms of intellect without some acquaintance with the requirements and duties of life. Changes are needed in the methods of Negro education as well as in its scope. Educators should take into account, more than they have yet done, the differences in the mental characteristics of the two races. It is a well established fact that while the lower races possess marked capacity to deal with simple, concrete ideas, they lack power of generalization and soon fatigue in the realms of the abstract. It is also well known that the inferior races, being deficient in generalization, which is a subjective process, are absorbed almost entirely in the things that are objective. They have strong and alert eyesight, and are susceptible to impressions through the medium of the eye to an extent that is impossible in many races. Hence,in the school room stress should be laid on those studies that appeal to the eye and imagination.Lessons should be given in sketching, painting, drawing, and casting.Reprints of popular works of art should be placed before the Negroes,that their love for art may be gratified and their taste oulti- vated at the same time.Fancy needle work,dress making, and home decoration should also have an im portant place.These studies, while not contributing to bread winning, have a refining and softening influence upon character, and inspires effort. to make home more attractive.The more interest the Negro takes in his personal appearance and in the comforts of his home, the more we shall strengthen and promote his family life and raise the level of his civilization. The literary education of the Negro should consist of carefully selected poems and novels that appeal to his imogination and produce clear images upon his mind, excluding such literature as in the nature of psychological or moral research. Recitationc and dialogues should be more generally and more frequently required. In history emphasis should be given to what is picturesque,dramatic,and biographical. Coming to the political phase of the Negro problem, there is a general agreement among white men that the Southern States cannot keep pace with the progress of the world as long as they are menaced by Negro dominion, and that, therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the Negro vote from politics. When the Negro becomes intelligent factors in society, when he becomes thrifty and accumulate wealth, they will find the way to larger citizenship. They can never sit upon juries to pass upon life and property until they are property owners them selves, and they can never hold the reigns of government by reason of mere superiority of numbers. Before they can trke on larger political responsibilities they must demonstrate their ability to meet them. The Negroes will never be allowed to control State governments as long as they vote at any election upon the basis of color,or private convictions.If the Negro would divide his votes according to their individual opinions.as the lamented Charles Price,one of their best leaders,advised,there would be no danger of Negro domination and no objection to their holding offices which they might be competent to fill.But as there is no present prospects of their voting upon any other basis tnan thao of color,the white people are foaced to accept the situation an protect themselves accordingly. COMMENTS OF THE NEGRO PRESS ON THE BURNING OF FRED Bleeding Kansas has rallee in line with Texas, Arkansas, Georgia, and Colorado in burning Negroes at stakes. A colored man named Fred Alexander was burued at Leavenworth last Tuesday. He was charged with attempting to assanlt a white girl last Saturday, and the killing of a young white woman last November. His burning took place about 5 o'clock p.m., in the presence of over 4,000 people, men, women, and children. Alexander protested his innocence to the last, but the angry mob paid no heed to it and proceeded to bring an everlasting disgrace up the old home of the immortal John Brown.—Newlight, Colum bus, Miss. KANSAS DISGRACED. It is a question whether the death penalty statute in Kansas would have averted the recent disgraceful spectacle in Leavenworth, and whether it would or not it is to be hoped that during this session of the legislature, there will be some stringent measure adopted to the end that futnre repetitions of this character will be impossible. The fair name of state, heretofore, admired because of its apparent ad vancement, and higher degree of civilization attained has been sullied; some adequate repairation must be made to stay off the scorn of more enlightened communities who have never disgraced their state and nation by over acts of mob vio'ence—Colored Messenger, K.

CONDEMNS THE RECENT LYNCHING IN KANSAS. Chinese Minister, Wu believes that racial intermarriage is the only solution for the Negro problem in America. His Excellency passed through here to-day enroute to St. Louis, where he addresses the Chamber of Commerce Saturday night A correspondent boarded the train at Cleveland to secure from the minister an expression of opinion on the burning of the Negro Alexander, at the stake at Leavenworth. "What do you think of lynching?" he said. "Well, that is strictly an American institution. China has been accused of many barbarities, but lynching is not one of them, and burning the poor fellow at the stake—ugh! the very idea makes me shudder—and he died protesting his innocence; ugly men dont do that. But I dont understand it at all. You brought the black man here against his will. You made him free—the great Lincoln did. Then you declared him equal to the white man, but you denied him equality. He can not hold office—that is, you never elect him to one. he can't serve on a jury, though he has the right, and he is still a slave socially. "The difficulty seems to me that you regard him as a savage and treat him as such. He feels himself an outlaw and acts accordingly VOL.11. NO.35 MUSICAL RARY VALENTINE. ic Douglass and festival at Peerless Feb. 14,1601. Look next issue. Now why not assimilate him benevolently. This is really and ruly benevolently. There is only one way to do this, and that is to make him white—not only in color but in nature. I have not given the subject extensive study, but I would say, encourage the Negro men to marry white wom n and urge black women to marry white men. If it were done, in a few generations the Negro as such would be extinct. Instead you would have white men, white in skin and white men's natures. Of course the crime for which Alexander suffered is unknown in China. It is a crime that stirs my blood. But the American officers—the sheriffs, you call them—seem to to help the mobs instead of protecting their prisoner. The law permits them to kill the mob, but they let the mob kill their prisoner whom they have sworn to protect. In China an officer who would do that would do that would forfeit his life. He would kill himself before he would suffer such disgrace. "Nations that permit lynching can not call themselves Christian nations. This habit, and it is a habit here, is a blot upon the nation's good name. It is true that the Negro is impudent. I see that in Washington. He is increasing faster than the white and he is beginning to feel his power. You must face the problem sooner or later and the sooner you face it the better for you and for the Negro, and I believe you will find the only solution to the problem is to assimilate the colored man by intermarriage.—Press Dispatsh from Muncie, Ind. to The St. Louis Star.

An article "A comment on the the Leavenworth Burning, and Sheriff Everhardy" by Rev. W.L. Brasco, Pastor of the 2nd. Baptist church at Burlington and Wellington, will appear in the next issue of this paper. Every Colored man in Kansas should read this article as it is to the point from start to finish. Watch for it. Southern representation will not be redneck by the present congress. Southern deviltry will not be interfered with in any way. The rascals will be allowed to go on with their rascality. But there will come and end of it. The American people will not always tolerate it. It does not stand to reason. But we have to exercise patience and heaps of it. Senator Wm E. Chandler of New Hampshire has been defeated in ine Republican caucus for reelection to the United Stotes Senate by Mr. Henry E. Burnham. Senator Chandler has been in public life for thirtyfive years and during all that time he was a good and faithful friend of the Afro-American people. It is to be regretted on all hands that so able and experienced a man in public affairs should be retired to private life. The Democrats of Maryland have reached the conclusion that they cannot elect a successor in the Federal Senate to Senator Wellington unless thy can "disfranchise the Negro," and governor is being urged to call an extra session of the leglsture. Of course ex-Senator, A. P. Gorman is in favor of thescheme. The poor old Democratic hag has no hopes of winning anywhere except through fraud, violence and trickery. If there were no Democratic party the safety of the Republic would be a less matter of speculation at home and abroad. Mr. L. G. Powers, chief statistician in charge of agriculture of the twelfth censns, desires in his reports to show the progress and status of the American Negro in agricultur and its allied pursuits and is now making an exhaustive investigation of the same. In addition to the data obtained in the regular course on the agricultural sched—nles of the twelfth census, he has designated William T. Ferguson, one of the Negro clerks, to make certain additional inquiries, along this line, of well informed Negroes through out the country and THE SEARCHLIGHT takes pluresure in urging all those who are requested to aid in furnishing the additional data to make full and prompt replies to all inquiries to the end that the investigations and report may be full and accurate as Chief Powers, descries it to be.

Dear Sir: This will inform you that the citizens of our quiet little city are progressing nicely financially, spiritually and intellectually This is truly the garden spot of Kansas, with its rich and level plains, covered with a perennial growth of grass, that not only furnishes food for the many thousand head of cattle, that roam upon its crested hills in the spring and summer, but fall and winter alike; also many thousand sheep may be seen leisurely feeding upon its buffalo grass that retains its nutriment the entire year. And the encouraging part of this fact is that not all of these cattle belong to the Caucasian race, but many of them are the property of the sons of Etheopia, who are striving to "have something, be something and to do something." this is tangible evidence that the Negro can do, if he has a will to do. There is nothing to be gained by our people by crowding themselves into the cities working for a small pittance, just barely ecking out an existence, why not come West and take up this untamed land and in a few years be an independent man so far as this worlds goods are concerned? Thousands of white men have done this, why not you? If they have succeeded, why is it that you cannot? I verily believe that you can. It is worth the while to try it. We have been carrying on a series of meeting for nearly two weeks with the assistance of Rev.J.M.Bryant, there has been four additions to the church and a general spiritual awakening among Christians. Rev.J.H.Vanlue, of Wichita, the able General Missionary, is present conducting a Bible Institute which is creating much interest and supplying the much needed instruction which is necessary for our spiritual advancement. We have three young ladies and one young man attending High school, and two young ladies and one young man at ending the Seminary. Quite a number of our people are sick. We are hopful for the future and do not hesitate to deliver the whole truth, "We believe therefore, have we spoken." Matt S.Jones. Pastor 2nd,Baptist Church.

The Colored people held a big mass meeting at Peerless hall last Monday night, Jan. 21st, and condemned the inhuman, uncivilized, barbarious and cruel burning of Fred Alexander in Leavenworth on the 15th. The meeting selected Captain S. W. Jones as chairman and W. N. Miller as secretary. Capt. Jones made a very appropriate and well taken speech upon taking the chair. Several good speeches were made; among the speakers were: Capt. Jones, R. Hodge, J. H. Phelps, S. E. Smith. Thaddus Summitt, A. E. Ewing, and W. N. Miller. A committee on resolutions was appointed, who drafted the following resolutions: We the committee on resolutions, beg leave to submit the following report: Whereas, on the 15th. day of Jan. 1901 Fred Alexander, a member of our race, was most cruelly and unjustly burned to death in the uncivilized village of Leavenworth, without any proof whatever, of having committed any crime, Therefore, Be it resolved by the Colored citizens of Wichita and Sedgwick county, in mass meeting assembled, to appeal to the Governor of Kansas and to the Legislature assembled to take steps to punish the perpetrators of this great crime. Be it further resolved, that we condemn the action of Sheriff Everhardy of Leavenworth county in handing over the body of Fred Alexander to the fendish mob, and that we brand him as a scoundrel and as a coward and we appeal to Governor Stanley and the Attorney General and ask that mandamus procections be begun against him to the end that the scoundrel be removed from office. Be it further resolved that we condemn this burning as a curse to the so called civilized Caucasian, more brutal than the barbarians who have been held for execution before an enlightened country. And it shall be our aim to bring the perpetrators to justice. Be it further resoleed, that a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the Governor and Legislature.

After taking two bottles of Peruna I found myself well with la gripe, and my hearing was fully re La gripe is, strictly speaking, epidemic catarrh—that is to say, a variety of acute catarrh which is so contagious and runs a course more or less definite, the same as scarlet fever, whooping cough, etc. During the acute stages of la gripe it is not a very fatal disease, but the condition in which it leaves the system has caused the death of a countless number. Indeed nearly every person who has had la gripe within the last three years finds himself more or less deranged by the pernicious effects of this disease. The majority of those who have escaped death find life scarcely worth living. If this vast multitude of people could only know with what certainty and promptness Peruna would relieve them of all the bad effects which la gripe has brought upon them, an untold amount of suffering would he averted!

In Japan and other countries these have been extensively applied in the construction of piers for bridges, tall chimneys, walls, ordinary dwellings, embankments, reservoirs, etc. A man must often pocket his pride, but women have no pockets.

THE QUEEN IS DEAD. She Died at 6:45 on Tuesday Evening, Among Her Children. Cowes, Isle of Wight, Jan. 23.—The Queen died at 6:45 last evening, London time. The queen is said to have bade farewell, in a feeble monosyllable, to her family assembled at her bedside at mid-day. She first recognized the Prince of Wales, to whom she spoke a few words of great moment; then Emperor William and the others present filed past and heard a whispered goodbye. With the members of the royal family gathered at the queen's bedside, the Bishop of Winchester and the Rector of Whippingham read prayers for those in extremis. Happily the queen was able to recognize those around her. Naturally the family, while recognizing the claim for public information insist that the details of the events around the deathbed shall be sacred for the present and imposed the strictest secrecy on the whole household. Lord Clarendon, the lord Chamberlain will have charge of the arrangements for the succession to the throne. Valuable Almanac Free.

POLICE OFFICER RESCUED. Council Bluffs, Iowa, Jan. 19, 1901.—(Special.)—Kindhearted Officer Swanson of the local police force is very popular in this city. He has lived here for seventeen years, and has enjoyed many high offices in social and society work. He is now Vice-President of the "Dannebrog" Brotherhood, the largest Danish secret society in America, which combines benevolent with the social features. Owing to the constant exposure and many hours on his feet, which his duty as a police officer makes unavoidable, Mr. Swanson became the victim of serious Kidney and Liver Trouble. He was very bad, but has entirely recovered. He gives the story in his own words as follows: "I have been a sufferer for many years with Kidney and Liver Trouble, and have tried many remedies, some of which gave me temporarily relief, and others which were absolutely worthless. I began to think that there was no help for me, when my nephew gave me a part of a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills which he had left, saying that it would do no harm to try them, as they had certainly fixed him all right. What he gave me helped me so much that I felt justified in purchasing more, and I grew slowly better. It took almost two months to effect a complete cure, as mine was a very bad case, but I can cheerfully and truthfully say that I am a well man today, and I am very grateful that Dodd's Kidney Pills were thus brought to my notice." The wonderful cures effected by Dodd's Kidney Pills in Iowa have created quite a sensation in some parts of the state. There does not seem to be any case of Lame Back, Rheumatism, Kidney or Bladder Trouble which these wonderful Pills cannot cure. They are certainly popular here, and the sale through the local druggists is very large.

Aunters Pursue Big Ball of Herd in Bounty A private letter from T. Sedgwick Steele of this city, says the Hartford Times, who has been spending the last three months with his family at Mount Kineo House, Moosehead Lake, Me. gives an interesting account of life in that region and mentions an exciting moose hunting experience which occurred within sight of the hotel. A big bull moose, in crossing from one point of the lake to another, was discovered by those aboard a quick-moving naphtha launch, and cut off from regaining the shore. There were other boats and canoes out for pleasure on the lake, including the large steamboat, which joined in the chase, until quite a procession formed in line behind the fast-swimming animal. In fact, that moose will never have another such a following as long as he lives. The moose was started from a locality called "Dry Point," some six miles from the hotel, but by the constant coaching and maneuvers of the many canoes and boats was kept from landing on numerous islands in Moosehead Lake, and directed toward the point on which the Mount Kineo stands. Soon the guests of the hotel discovered the fast approaching moose and the comical line of craft following in his rear, and all rushed to the shore, the "camera fiend" being largely represented. On came the greatest animal of our American forests, panting and blowing and now so weary that from the canoes one could pat his back with a paddle. On reaching the front of the hotel he was driven ashore for the admiration of the guests, to many of whom it was the first sight of this noble animal. After mounting a steep bank and trotting leisurely across the grass he disappeared into the woods at the rear of the hotel. While camping on Russell Pond, about thirty miles north of Moosehead Lake, the waters of which communicate with the west branch of the Penobscot, Mr. Steele saw at one time thirty-two deer running about on the shore and playing in the water, and he afterward saw a moose. There were four in his party at the time, and they sat on the bank of the pond a long while watching this wonderful exhibition of game. He has "hunted with a camera" considerably this summer, and has negatives of deer and moose, but says that one wants a camera with a "fixed focus," as one never knows how close he is to the game, and the shutter has to be ready at a moment's warning. AN OIL QUEEN. Woman Speculator Whose Income Averages $7,000 a Week. West Virginia developments of the last few weeks have produced what the operators are pleased to call an "oil queen." She is Mrs. Mary Irigl, formerly of Sisterville, now living in the Tyler county field, where her venturesome spirit and good luck netted her an oil income that has been averaging about $7,000 a week for a month. Mrs. Irigl was formerly engaged in the shoe business at Sisterville, and it was while living in that busy town of oil and oil machinations that she developed the speculative fever. Her shoe business was not successful, and she began to dabble in oil. Several small ventures are said to have netted her enough to make her confident and willing to undertake the development of the most uncertain "wild-cat" territory in the state. She secured control of new territory in the upper end of Tyler county, and went into the field for active operations. Several months ago she contracted for the drilling of a well on her land. A series of mishaps prevented the completion of the job until Dec. 4, when the drill touched a pocket of oil, and a small gusher resulted. The flow was pretty heavy at first, but has since settled down to about 250 barrels a day, with every prospect that the output will be maintained. The strike is the opening wedge in territory that will prove valuable. Mrs. Irigl is preparing to put down other wells just as soon as rigging can be hauled to her property. The woman speculator has fixed upon several spots upon which her agents will begin drilling as soon as possible. She has purchased a handsome home at Parkersburg and will direct her new interests from that place.—Chicago Inter-Ocean. The Edinburgh Unity church is erecting a memorial to Jean Lorimer —Burns' "Chloris," "the lassie in the lint-white locks."

It will be eight feet high, and constructed of gray granite, and is expected to be shown for the first time on January 26th inst.

TOSSING A BLANKET.—HOW THE FRESHMEN ARE INTRODUCED TO MYSTERIES OF COLLEGE BROTHERHOODS. THE SHOP HAZERS AND ONE OF THEIR VICTIMS.—PRANKS OF THIS KIND CALLED THE ATTENTION OF CONGRESS TO THE ALLEGED BRUTALITIES OF WEST POINT MILITARY ACADEMY. College hazing is so old a custom that its origin is somewhat hazy. One theory is that it was at least a partial outgrowth of the fagging system of TOSSING A BLANKET.—HOW THE MYSTERIES OF COLLEGE English colleges, in which it was the custom to make new students do menial work for the upper classmen. The hazing which has been indulged in has largely been practiced upon freshmen, but occasionally other classmen have been hazed. To haze means to disturb, harass, annoy, and it was in some way figured out that this was just what ought to be done to men entering college for the first time. It was decided that they should be servile and that they should do whatever they were told by upper classmen, no matter how absurd or degrading an act should be demanded of them. As early as the year 1760, sixteen years before the breaking out of the revolutionary war, the following regulations were enacted at Yale university: "It being the duty of seniors to teach freshmen the laws, usages and customs of the college, to this end they are empowered to order the whole freshman class or any particular member of it to appear, in order to be instructed and reproved, at such time and place as they shall appoint, when and where every freshman shall attend, answer all proper questions and behave decently. "The freshmen are forbidden to wear their hats in the college yard until the May vacation, and whenever a freshman either speaks to a superior or is spoken to by one he shall keep his hat off until he is bidden to put it back on. "A freshman shall not play with any of the members of an upper class without being asked. "Freshmen are required to perform all reasonable errands for any superior. "Freshmen shall not run in the college yard nor up and down stairs, nor call to any one through a college window."

"When any person knocks at a freshman's door, except in studying time, he shall immediately open the door without inquiring who is there." Fighting Freshman Sustained. The death blow to the hat law and most of the other absurd regulations was struck of one hundred years ago, when Levi Hedge, who was afterwards a famous professor, threatened to knock down a senior who demanded that he remove his hat. The trouble was brought before the president of Harvard for adjudication and he decided in favor of Freshman Hedge. Although these regulations were early overthrown the spirit underlying them was kept alive and frequently manifested itself in the mistreatment of members of the freshmen class. The new college men were "smoked out," taken from bed at midnight and doused under the town pump, painted with green or red paint, made to eat or drink vile combinations, blindfolded and made to run three or four miles, made to sing or dance or deliver orations, while very often they were shorn of their hair completely. There have been many instances of the most vicious kinds of practices. Young men have been thrown into rivers or lakes, headed up in barrels and rolled down hill, etc. Occasionally freshmen have resisted the perpetration of these outrages. Revolvers have been drawn by both sides, and when the freshman who was thus inclined to defend himself has been caught unarmed he has often been made to pay dearly for his self-deense. With the progress of education and civilization these practices have become less common in many of the large universities, but they still exist to some extent and in their worst form is evident from the developments in the FORM OF HAZING PREVALENT IN SCHOOLS. West Point case. This fact led an old college man to remark the other day: college man to remark the other day: "The time has come when the brutal college hazer should be treated in exactly the same way as any other criminal. No effort should be spared either by the college or civil authorities to catch the culprits, and when apprehended they should be given the full penalties allowed by the law. If a few of the young wretches, who are nothing but brutes in human form, were sent to the penitentiary as they should be for five or ten years it would have a most salutary effect upon college hazing." Pearl Oysters Do Engraving. People very often marvel at the cheapness of the engraved or etched pearl shells which come from China. They sell for little or nothing, and the uninitiated will be apt to wonder how it is the work can be done so cheaply. The reason for it is, instead of graving the picture into the hard shell, an operation that would be laborious and slow, the Chinese draw the sketch on a little scrap of tea lead and insert it into a pearl oyster shell when it is tender. The inside of the shell in this manner gets an impression of the sketch from the tea lead picture, and as soon as it is sufficiently well printed the Chinese take the lead out and insert it in another shell—Cincinnati Enquirer.

Almost before they were scared Harvey, who seemed much excited, opened the subject uppermost in the minds of all. "So you threaten to shut up the house and go to New York?" he angrily asked. "It is an intention, Harvey, not a threat." "And do you think I will submit to such a course, merely because you have chosen to quarrel with my wife, whose only offense has been her care for us both? You do not know me, madam." "I am afraid I have never known you, Harvey." "Perhaps not; you hadn't applied to my character the test of injustice and the most monstrous selfishness ever shown by mother to son!" he hotly retorted. Helen had made good use of her half hour. "You reared me with the expectation of sharing your property; but for that I should not have married. And now you coolly say that henceforth I must depend upon myself—I, who have been accustomed to every luxury!" "I think you would have married in any case," said Gladys, in a tone that made his eyes waver for a moment. "It is as well; I do not fear for your future. You certainly have not suffered from my selfishness in the past." "Don't you think the less you say about your past the better?" he asked, carried beyond all prudence, all kindness, by a burning sense of his wrongs. For a full,minute they looked steadily at each other; her womanly intuition enabled her to read the thoughts that owed their existence to Helen, and her weakened affection for him seemed to fall dead. "If I live to be a hundred," she said slowly, "her face hard with scorn. 'I will never forgive you for that insult, even though I know it orginated with the woman who has so strangely perverted your moral nature. Your wickedness and covetousness deserve punishment, and it has overtaken you in the way you will feel most; for though you have no legal claim upon my money, I always intended to provide for you when you came of age, and should have carried out the intention, in spite of the fact that you married against my wish, had not your wife's character so soon revealed itself. Recent events have shown me that you are equally unworthy, and not a dollar of mine shall ever pass into your possession and hers unless you come to actual want." A dead silence ensued. Both listeners saw that Mrs. Atherton was in earnest, and had been pushed too far, though righteously pushed; for they had so blinded themselves by specious reasoning that even now they would not admit they were wrong. It was Helen who broke the dreary pause. "You hated me from the first," she said in a voice uneven with rage. "and have well calculated your revenge. You know I would die for Harvey, and by making me the apparent medium of his downfall, you try to inflict upon me the most harrowing of punishments. But here you fail, Gladys Atherton, for it is you who have been his ruin. You have scorned me, not in words, perhaps, but with meaning looks, for having decoyed him into marriage before your appointed time. I know how you regard my people—that, too, your looks have told. And what are you, pray, with all your pride? In the beginning a bold, pampered girl following the first man who though it worth his while to beckon her to shame, for aught she knew or cared, so that her fancy was gratified—" "Harvey," cried Gladys, deadly pale, "bid this impious woman be silent. She is speaking of your mother." "A mother to be proud of, truly!" exclaimed Helen, her eyes imperatively demanding Harvey's silence, though she spoke so fast and loud that he had no opportunity to interrupt her, even had he wished. "The wife of a drunkard and gamster, the widow of a criminal! I despise you, and so shall your son. Be very sure of that. But we'll have our right if we claim them in a court of law. I doubt if you have power to withhold what you call your money. How do we know your story is true? You were not squeamish in the past, when you had a purpose to serve, it appears. Why should you be over particular at this late day?" Gladys, still pale, but with her former look of scorn intensified, turned to Harvey. "You have heard your wife, sir. I have no claim upon her affection, as on yours, and care nothing for her opinion unless you uphold her in it. Do you?" "This is not the time for heroic speeches and professions of belief in virtues that never existed," he said sulkily, his eyes on Helen's prompting face. "We must recognize the fact that the person who marries unwisely entails certain consequences upon the children of the marriage for which he or she owes them compensation. Through you I am my grandfather's natural heir, and should not be robbed of my birthright. If I am covetous in urging a just claim, what then are you? In keeping control of your property you may be right by law, but you are acting dishonestly none the less. So far I fully agree with my wife." With a low cry Gladys fell back in her chair. As if waiting for the signal, Phebe entered the room, a terrible old woman in her wrath. "I am going to tell them the truth, Miss Gladys, whether you forbid it or not," she defiantly announced. "As Mr. Harvey says, this isn't the time for pretending, and I guess we can settle the matter out of court." Gladys put up a protesting hand, but she would not heed. "I'll make short work of it. You're wrong in thinking you have any sort of share in the mistress' property, Mr. Harvey, because her father, Joseph Stirring, your grandsire, didn't own a dollar in it. He married twice—first a poor girl who died when her baby was born; then a rich young heiress, who also died early in life leaving her money to her only child, Gladys, your aunt or half aunt; for you are the son of the daughter of the first marriage." "My God! The mater is not my mother?" cried Harvey, after a stupefied pause. He sprang to his feet and gazed wildly from one face to the other, with the lock of a man pierced to the heart. "Madam, madam, is this true?" he imploringly asked. Then, meeting 'Gladys' compassionate yet strangely cold look, with a halfsob he threw himself into chair and buried his face in his hands, never moving until Phebe had finally ceased speaking. Helen said nothing; her burning eyes were fixed on the housekeeper; she knew she told the truth, and that from the fair domain which had promised to be her garden of Eden, she was banished forever. "You know how your mother married. Mr. Stirling swore he would never forgive her; but he was a just man, and sent her the money she would have had when she came of age. It didn't last long. Twenty thousand dollars isn't much in the hands of a gambler. And when it was gone he went too." "Miss Gladys was at school when your poor mother begged her way to New York, her baby in her arms. She did not seek her father; she knew his unforgiving spirit, but she sent for me—I was in his service—from the hospital where she lay dying, and by her deathbed I promised never to forsake her child, and to hide him from her husband, Matthew Harvey, who would try to make use of the boy to get money from his young aunt, Gladys. He was bad enough for anything, she said. I had a little money saved, and put you to board with a woman I knew. I always had it in my mind to tell the master some day; but he had a heart trouble and I daresn't do it. "I hadn't a chance to worry long, for in a few months after your motter died he fell dead in the street, without a moment's warning. Miss Gladys came home for the funeral, and after the first shock was over I told her everything. She had a tender heart, my lamb, and wouldn't rest till she had seen her poor sister's baby." CHAPTER XI Phebe paused, overcome by sad memories. Gladys, unnerved by all that had passed, was crying, but not as the wholly desolate weep; she no longer strove to prevent her old friend from speaking. "Your mother's sorrows had left their mark on you, Mr. Harvey; you were a sad little tot, with mournful eyes and atimorous manner. You ran to my dear young lady, attracted by her sweet voice, and hid your face in her gown, and when we left they had to drag you away; we heard your screams as the carriage drove off, and Miss Gladys sobbed all the way home. After that, the idea of your growing up among strangers, with no one to love you—just considered for the money you brought, mayhap—was terrible to her. We must take you far away to a corner in the west, where none would know us, and you'd be sate from your father. I begged her on my knees not to spoil her life; but she coaxed and argued and cried till she got the better of me, and we left New York unhindered, her having no relations. "She put on widow's mourning, to make her look older and prevent explanations, and took your grandmother's family name. Your mother had given it you for a first name; it was easy to change it round." "Rockville was only a village then; people hadn't taken to coming here for their healths, and what are now streets were farms. It was just the place to be lost in, and until Mrs. Leonard's doctor sent here here last year, nobody but the family lawyer—Mrs. Leonard is his daughter—knew what had become of the pretty Miss Stirling. How much she has been to you, Mr. Harvey, you well know. She was only eighteen when she left New York, a light-hearted girl. Now she's turned thirty-six, with a great sorrow on her of your brewing. She'll get over it, for she's young yet. But you've made, a strange return to her for wasted years!" Not a word was spoken by either of the other three. Helen stole over to her husband and timidly laid her hand on his shoulder. All self-confidence was gone from her bearing; she seemed cowed and beaten; and for the first time her loving touch was unheeded. Phebe looked at her frowningly. "Ay, comfort him if you can; he'll have need of it," she said in a hard tone. "If he comes to ruin he must thank you; but for your availance meddling he'd have had a good deal of money—a hundred thousand dollars, no less. He'll never have it more. Perhaps he'll not reproach you yet for his loss, since he helped you out with the deviltry you called duty. But he'll know it's to you owes it—he wasn't a grown woman you took him in hand, and easily—and the thought will grow and until one day he'll despise you in the heart, and turn from the love the dragged him down." As if that day had come. He moved nearer to her husband, the color ebbing even from her Gladys half rose. "Be merciful, Phebe," she gently monstrated. "You are too hard to now, dear old friend; enough has been said." Muttering still, Phebe lumbered away, furtively wiping her eyes; made her bristling exterior bear a warm heart, and, despite her anger, she did for Harvey in his hour of darkness. As the door closed behind her he raised his head, revealing a white, wrist face. "I must speak to my—my own alone, Helen," he said hourly. "Love us together." (To be Continued.) MORE PLAY NEEDED It used to be that boys and men who worked had shorter working hours and less work to do in the same time than do the men and boys of today. They couldsequently they had better opportunities and greater inclination for respiration of the healthiest kind. They could able to rise in the morning easily enough for gymnastics, their work the day before not being so irritating as to make them feel they needed every moment of sleep possible, as often the case nowadays, and in the late afternoons and evenings they could could enjoy an athletic game. The girls some years ago extra much less than they do now, the course of study usually being in comparison to the average of the day, and few of them were in business or the professions. Therefore the need was less for strengthening exercises. Although the mental and physical work that the men and women of this generation do has greatly increased they do not seem to be realized that a counteracting force absolutely necessary for the number growing larger every day. We can help observing it on the streets and everywhere—of men and women who slouch along with drooping figure and dragging steps, the picture of undereaped physical manhood and womanhood. There is nothing more please to look upon than a strong, graceful happy young man or woman and the last two qualities depend on the first and all three on physical exercise and development. Therefore, you know what you must do to be happy and a tractive, and it is your duty to be a three. You can, of course, in various degree and you ought to add much to the beauty of this old world whose men and women are its most splendid features. GAME KILLING. Denver Times Sees Danger in Allow Indians Latitude There is a curious disposition among the people to make sport of Gov. Thomas' crusade against the Indian who are said to be killing game on side their reservation and within the boundaries of this state. That it has a comic side is probably not to be denied. But it may also have a very serious side. The border country had not had any Indian experiences of late, and the American people show an astonishing facility in forgetting unpleasant things. Those who know anything about the Indian know that the kind of movement now begun may very easily incite him to acts which will have a very serious significance outlying settlers and possibly small villages. The Indians know as well as Gov. Thomas does that the federal power is not behind this movement. They rarely forego a chance for immediate revenge because of the possibility of a remote reprisal. That the state can prevail in the end nobody doubts, perhaps, but aside from the harvest of trouble and loss of life we may have to reap, citizens are also looking to the harvest of debt that must follow, though we are now at our wits' end to devise means for paying what we already owe. Some of them are inclined to suspect the governor of a kind of "after us, the deluge" policy—Denver Times American Books In Mexico Mexico buys more American books than does France, and nearly as many as Germany. Much of this trade is due to the large resident American population to be found in Mexican cities and to the demand from mining camps, where Americans are living and not a little is due to the growing spread of English among the Mexican people. There is a strong tradition here in favor of popularizing the English language, and the learners of that tongue comprise professional men in middle life as well as thousands of youth. Some large institutions of learning have put English ahead of French—Mexican Herald. Quarantine Against Tuberculosis Tuberculosis has been placed among the diseases which are subject to quarantine.
