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 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.

The Macon Telegraph points out that the average man or woman hard !y ever area the moat needy oaaea that call for charity. We see the profes sional beggar* on the street -often bresen and impudent, if not unwor thy— but we do not aee the poor wom en and children In shivering pita where ttlnees may add to their need of food and fuel. These are the cases which the Asso ciated Charities seeks out and to which they give relief. If we could realise how much la done by these aeaorla lion* to relieve and uplift our broth ers and alaiers in the human family, we would scarcely have the nerve to restrain oursslves from he!pin* to sup port and extend the work.

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. THE WAYS OF THRIFT THE NEED FOR A MIDLEMAN.

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 specialist of the United States de partment of agriculture advises thla although JURt the reverse Is consid ered heat when watering Is done out of doors In the summer Foliaqe Not Flower* for Window Bo*.

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.
