Trotter, the exasperating and hot

giving to the praaiiient and the coun

keeping the negro race segregated
from the white race, la Intereating to
consider.
Had Trotter gone through with hta
interview with the president on his
g< od behavior, there might still re- ■
niuln a number of misguided white
persons ready to support him in hta
Xemsrknhle contention, liut. In going
to the head of the nation and behav
ing saintly in an "uppety” darkey Is
known to behave he haa given on
abundant and all-sufficing answer to
the question: "Why should the negro
officials he segregated from the
whites?"
it would be possible to explain to a
white man, In Trotter'e position
could we stretch our fancy to linagln
ina auch a case™that true self-reaped
would prompt bta people to desire seg
regation. quite as much . s the other
race desired IU hut It would be a
waste of words and breath to try and
get this notion Into the head of a
spoilt and arrogant darkey. The ohlet
thing ts to make him understand that
"iquality" Is not a dream In which It
U well for him to Indulge hlmgelf.
The sympathy of the whole country
intiat assuredly go out to the head of
the government when we reflect that
In no other house In the entire nation
could a negro venture and make
threats to tin* master of the house.
STRUGGLE FOR LIFE.

Post-Mortem Praises
I’v* noticed when a fellow dies, no matter whut he’s been —
A saintly chap or one whose life was darkly steeped In sin—
His friends forget the bitter words they spoke but yesterday,
And now they find a multitude of pretty things to say.
1 fancy when I go to rest some one will bring to light
Rome kindly word or goodly art long buried out of sight;
But, If It’s all the same to you, Just give tne Instead
The bouquet* while I’m living and theaknocking when I'm dead.
Don’t save your kisses to Imprint upon my marble brow,
While countless maledictions are hurled upon me now;
Ray Just one kindly word to me while I mourn here alone,
Anil don’t save all your eulogy to carve upon u stone.
What do I care If when I'm dead the Bloomlngdale Gazetto
Gives m* a write-up, with a cut in mourning borders set;
It will not flatter me a bit, no matter wlmt Is said,
So kindly throw your bouquets now and knock me when I’m dead.
It may be fine when one Is dead to have the folks talk so.
To have the flowers come In load* from relatives, you know;
It may be nice to have these things for those you leave behind,
Hut Ju«t as fsr as I'm concerned, I really do not mind.
I’m quite alive and well today, and while I linger here,
Lend me a helping hand at Mines--give me a word of cheer.
Just change the game a little bit; Just kindly swap the decks,
Kor I will be no Judge of flowers when I’ve cashed In my checks.”
Sand on The Track
I observed a locomotive In the railroad yard one day.
It was standing In the rnundhouxa where locomotives stay.
It wn» panting for a Journey, it was coaled and fully manned,
And a fireman had a box he was filling full of Mind.
It 'pears that locomotives can't always get a grip
on the slender Iron pavements, ’cause their wheels are npt to slip-
And when they reach a slippery spot, their tactics they command,*
And to get a grip upon the rail they sprinkle It with sand.
It's about this way with travel along llfe'e slippery track.
If your load Is kind o' heavy, and you're always sliding back,
If a common locomotive, you’d completely understand.
You'll supply yourself in startin' with a good amount of sand.
You ran reach any station, that'# along Life's schedule seen,
U there's fire beneath the boiler of Ambition's strong machine.
And you'll reach a place called Flushtown. at s rate of speed that's grand
If for all the slippery places you've a good supply of sand.

When Johnnie was a little boy his rather used to say:
"My son, you’ve simply got to throw that chewing gum away,"
But Johnnie merely gripped the cud beneath his mobile jaws
And begged his father earnestly for Just "a few more chaws.”
And while the gum held out to chew—a matter* of a week;
Among his white and busy teeth it played at hide and seek.
When Johnnie later on became a railroad president,
He put a lot of things across without the court’s consent.
He cut the railroad's Service dawn, he boosted up the fares.
He spent too much upon his friends, and nothing on repairs.
And he continued in this course till lie was brought up short
And taken from his office to appear before the court.
But when the court had ordered him to mend his wasteful ways,
lie asked for time, he asked for grace, he argued for delays,
And then he went hack on the job and for a few years more
He did the same illegal things that he had done before.
Which seems to prove that ever since this sad, old world began
The boy, as poets say. has been the father of the man.
J. J. MONTAGUE.
Washington, D. C. —The Indoor win
dow box, properly planned and tended,
will afford much pleasure and satis
faction to the housewife who misses
her out-of-door garden during the
winter months. It Is a mistaken no
tion that plants when kept in living
rooms use up certain elements of the
air In such quantities a* to make It
unhealthful for individuals using tYie
room. It is much harder on plants
to be In a room with people than for
people to he In a room with growing
plants. - Plants, indeed, use air, hut
use such a small proportion that the
effect of the plant In the room is neg
ligible If the room Is ventilated at all.
This also holds good for cut flowers
or plants in a sick room, although the
odor of some flowers may be depress
lng to the patient, and bad for that
reason.
A good depth for an Indoor window
box Is about 12 Inches. The bottom
of the box should he covered with
stones and broken pottery to give
drainage, and this should be covered
by a layer of moss to prevent the soil
above from working down through the
stones. The drainage and moss should
take up about three Inches. The great
er the body of soil above the moss the
more uniform It may he kept as to
moisture. The soil should come to
within an inch and a half or two
Inches of the top of the box.
The Indoor window box should he
made to fit Into the window. To get
as much light as possible It should be
level with the window. It may be
fastened with brackets or placed on a
table or legs made for it. There
should be a drip pan beneath to keep
water from soiling the floor The box
may rest directly above the drip pan
on legs half an Inch to nn inch high
or the box may be water-tight with
the exception pf a hole at one end to
let out the water.
The top of the soil should he allowed
to become quite dry once in a while.
The results of watering will teach the
owner to regulate the supply. Boxes
may need watering In sunshiny weath
er (especially toward si ring! every
day. or at least every- other day: In
cloudy mid-winter weather not more
than once a week. As a rule It Is
better to water lightly and frequently
than heavily and Infrequently. The

ar* vsry exacting and will not find
snough light In the ordinary living
room, even though placed near the
window, although they may do well In
a conservatory. The main object of
an Indoor window box Is to furnish
the fresh appear*nee of growing green
leave* rather than to raise flowers in
doors.
The dspartment of agriculture's spe
cialist make* the following suggestions
for a window box;
Like Father, Like Son
THE INDOOR WINDOW BOX
Begonias are one of the most at
tractive plants that may be used for
an indoor box. Both flowering and
non-flowering varieties will give sat
isfaction; In fact, the flowering va
riety is one of the few plants that will
blossom indoors without special culti
vation. The begonia is not very par
ticular in Its reqqutrements and will
flourish with ordinary care.
Small ferns obtained from a florist
will flourish. These are particularly
adapted to house culture, as they do
not require direct sunlight (Care of
ferns will be described in greater de
tail In a subsequent article.!
Even more hardy than fejns is the
foliage plant known as the aspidistra.
This adaptable plant growth will stand
a measure of neglect, drought and dust
and still thrive. It does not require
direct sunlight.
Geraniums may also he used as fol
iage plants, though they must not he
expected to blossom' In the window
box.
Kenilworth Ivy may be planted along
the edge. It will grow nicely from
seed
Smilax may he grown from the hack
of the box and trained up about the
window to give the effect of an at
tractive bower.
The Inexperienced grower of plants
Indoors cannot expect to do well with
roses. These plants are most exact
ing and not only will they probably fall
to flower, but also their foliage may
be affected by mildew, blight, etc.
The ordinary Individual who desires
other varieties of growing flowers may
supplement his window box with flow
ering potted plants brought In from
outside. Including bulbs raised as de
scribed In a previous article of this
series. These will probably keep their
bloom for a brief period only. People
who are fond of plants will of course
obtain better results with blooming
varieties sifter many trials. Some have
dealt with very difficult problems,
which they have solved successfully,
but the present suggestions are meant
for the novice as well as the more ex
perienced grower.
