peering curiously in at the half far»s, brick yards and coal and
iron mines. The average price the
state receives per capita under the
five year, contracts is $100 per an
num. The five year contracts will
expire in March, 1904. When
these contsacts were made this
price was considered excellent.
Since then on account of the scar
city of white labor and the great
demand for laborers in those in
open door, but making no move
to enter.
^“Oorne in, my little man, if
you wish to,” Said the Sexton.
“No, thank you,'” sa*id the boy,
“T know wnat you've got in
there.” '
“I haven’t anythihg that little
boys mayn’t see. Come in.”
“I’d rather not.” And the'ju
venile Theodore cast a sweeping, dustries in which convietsare em*
and somewhat apprehensive glance
around the pews and galleries-and
bounded off to play again.
Still the lad kept returning
once in a while and peeping in.
When he went home that day he
told his mother of the sexton’s
invitation and his unwillingness
to accept it.
“But why didn’t you go in, my
dear?” she asked. “It is the
house of God,' '’but .there is no
harm in entering it quietly and
looking about.’’
With some shyness the little
fellow confessed that he was
afraid to go in because the zeal
might jump out at him from un
der a pew or somewhere.
“The zeal? What is the zeal?”
the mother inquired.
“Why,” exclaimed Theodore,
“I suppose it is some big animal
like a dragon or an aligator. I
went there to church last Sunday
with uncle R—and I heard the
minister read from the Bible
about the zeal, and it , frightened
me.
Down oamo the concordance
from the library shelf, and one
after another of the texts contain
ing the word “zeal” was read to
the child, whose , eyes suddenly
gew big and his voice excited as
he said.
“That’s it—the last you read?”
US' was Psalm ixix:9, “For the
zeal of thine house hath eaten me
up.”,

“Some time ,ago my daughter
caught a severe cold. She complain
ed of pains in her chest and had a
bad coggh. I gave her chamber
lain's .Cough Remedy according to
directions and' in two days she was
well and able to go to school. I have
usbd this remedy in my family for
the past seven years and have never
known it to fail," says James Pren-
dergast, merchant, Annato Bay, Ja
maica, West India Islands. The
pains in the chest- indicated an ap
proaching attack of pneumonia
which in this instance was undoubt
edly warded off by Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. It counteracts any
tendency of a cold toward pneumo

Putting this and that together
is occasionally instructive.
Putting, for an example, the
fact that there were only abouV
half as many colored people in
tne United States-when the negfo
was set free and “clothed with'
citizenship” as there are now, to-,
gether with the fact, the Congress
just met does not include a single !
negro member, is an instuctive j
thing. It certifies the fact that

dead-letter in the first year of the
twentieth century; that after us
ing the ballot and securing more
or less representation in Con
gress for thirty-two years the en

1901 instead of four millions in
1861, has totally disappeared as a
polilical quanity and is absolutely
disfranchised.
‘Further, put together the fact
that Booker T. Washington’s en

queer things. In the city of St.

barred out of the public schools,
