Mr. Edwin Arden, who assumes
the character of Laertes in Hamlet
is a young actor of splendid prom
ise and while the most of the act
ing and hard work of course falls
on Mr. Keene, as Hamlet, still
this young man has a chance to do
some splendid work.
‘I see n»v friend Gim Johnson
hue an a<lvert'sement in one of the
papers of this city in which he
credits Hsmlet with “who steals
my purse steals trash.” Now may
he Hamlet did say such a thing in
his life hut it hasatwavs been my
impression that ?hi- belonged to

It is all right though. I dont see

IN HARD LUCK.
A Negro’s Unfortunate Experience
in Kansas.
The bluster that is being made
over the proposal for the relief of
the negroes in the scuth reminds
us of a talk we had with a negro
in Louisiana some months ago.
This negro had participated in
the famous exodus whi:h boomed
and fizzl-d a number of years ago;
hie experience i llustratos very fair
ly, we think, the sentiment of the
average southern negro toward the
whitee of that section .
“I had a little money left when
I had been in Kansas six months
mu’ I was so lonesome that I made
up my mind to git back to Gawd’s
own ken try a« quick as I could.
Kansas may be good enough for
white folks, but it aint no place
for this nigger.
So I rode on the railroad as fur
as they’d let me and then I start
ed out to walk the rest of the way,
and I hop’ sayin’ to myself all the
time: Wonder how fur ’tie to
Gawd’s own kentry. J was jus that
lonesome, boss, I mos died. Long
about noon I’d come to a house.
Mebbe they had a dorg there, 1
stood m the road and hollered.
A man would com» to the do’ of
the bouse an holler back. Then I'd
ask him could I git eumtin to eat
there. Has you got any money,
sir? ha asks. a little, says I,
n.n he’d tell me to come in. Wife
he says to the white lady, cook this
colored gen’man a meal of victuals
an shore enough the white lady
would fly round an git a fine break
fas.
But, to’ the Lawd boss, I cou'dn’t
eata bite with them white folks
waitin’on me—l was too shamed.
White folks got no business waitin'
on niggers. So I’d pay my money
an’ keep on walkin’, wishing all the
tune I was back in Gawd's own ken
try an’ wonderin’ if I’d never get
there agin.
‘•lkep’ on walkin’ an’ walkin’, Gue
day I eome to a little house that
stood back in a clearin.’ Seven yaller
dorgs come round the corner ar.’
burked when I hollered ‘hullo.’ li
looked so nat’ral says I. onless I be
mmtooken, that is Gawd s on kentry,
but Ikep’ on hollerin’ an’ ther dorgs
kep’ oil barkin’.
•Bimeby a gen’man come out’n the
bouse. ‘What you want, you dam
black nigger’ says the gen’man. ‘Sbo
erough, this Gawd s own kentiy a*
las’l’says I. ‘Boss. I’se so hungry 1
liin jes’ move ’ ’Go out to that wood
pile'an’ ch up some wood an’ I’h fetch
suinfin’, says he.
“SeG'Ticcl powerful £foo<i to oe
choppiu’ wood agin. Bimeby out
comes the get' man an bands me a
p in of victuals. ‘Hyai. yon dam. mu
ger, <- <t ’em victuals an' then iiuieh

“B-'ss. 1 was so glad to set on taa.
woodpile aii’ eat my diliuer without
no white folks stau in round waten
in’ me an’ waitin’ on ma, You D^ ver
seen a nigger eat as 1 done eat. I hat
night the gen’man says, ‘Hyar, you
lain nigger, go out an make yo self
a shake down in the stable an sleep
there! ’
“Boss. I was so glad to get back to
Gawd’s own kentry an’ to be treated
a plain nigger oaee mo’ that I
