Whtt a deplor able change in this regard has taken place since the civil war! From pres ident down to constable each seeks tlio office, and even judicial candida tes push their own claims.

The negroes had no truer friend than the south's best friend, Lincoln, and they worship him. though they knew, and know, he declared repeatedly the phyieal differences between them and the whites “would forever forbid the two races from living together on terms of social and political equality, because the inegro is denied social equality with the whites by an inex orable law. the ineradicable law of nature,” and the man who defied na ture's law, dined with a nCgro, sits in the martyred president’s chair. To what base uses lias it come! Asa citizen the white house in President Lincoln's term was open to the hum blest negro, but socially for him it had no doors; now its occupant de lies an edict of tue Almighty, cats at the same table and from the same dishes with a negro! And what excuse can there lie for this crime against nature, against God. who said, “So far shait. thou go and no farther;” it was an unpardonable affront to the teachings and examples of those who arc dead, to those who obey the Divine law now, and to those of the future. The crime was attroc ous because the criminal was so ex alted. For it raised the negia*.to the level of the womanhood of tlio South.

Though the negro’s lustful, brutal nature needed no incentive from the White House came encou ragement to break down tlio barrier that the Creator had put up. Roosevelt asks no forgiveness for this matchless insult to the nation, to the civilized world, for his attempt, - it may justly be called, to encourage miscegeneTation. His apologists are in number as contemptible as they are in excuses and defenses. His mother was a Southern lady; no negro eved dined at her table, where did he get this perverted strain, degenerate bias? He is of mature age, large experience, college bred, wide read, knows the social, unchangeable differences between the races, and yei dined with a negro! lie cannot plead Ignorance of Nature’s flat, for it is written on the human heart. A fauat ical abolitionist who was sincere, had been known to eat with one. It was unique in the history of tlio White House, it puzzled and still puzzles the mind of those who have not watched his course closely, who say ii was tae impulse of an erratic, cultiva ted intellect, and strenuous nature re cognizing the highest order of negro Intelligence. Some men get credit, for offhand speeches dial cost them days of pre paration; others act upon seeming im pulses that are the result of deep and prolonged study, weighing the pros and cons, and Roosevelt is a strenuous sample of these, tie has not been do lng any political offhand stunts in re cent years, there is always a method in his madness. Long before he drank champagne with Booker, and used the same bill of fare with him. he was laying plans for a second term, there was a bee in his bonnet, which is now a swarm, for note this idtpatch from BYRON VfAS BARRED.

Ireland’s successor was of the same opinion, it remained for upward of twelve years in the cus tom house, when (1840) it was re moved to the library of Trinity col lege, Cambridge. The poet Is represented in the statue of the size of life, seated on a ruin, with his left foot resting on the frag ment of a column. Jn ids right hand he holds a style up to ids mouth; in ids left a book, inscribed “Cliildu Harold.” He is dressed in a frock coat and clonk. Beside him on the left is a skull, above which is theAthenlau owl. The likeness is of course posthumous. Thorwaldsen was born Nov. 19, 1770, and died on March 24, 1811—Newcastle (Eng.) Chronicle. A Model Surveyor. The Kingman Leader-Courier tells of an early day county surveyor in King man county, Kan., who neither pos sessed any instruments nor could have used them if he lmd. His method of measuring land was to tie his ankles together with a cord that was just long enough to allow- him to step one flftli of a rod each time, and thus hob-' bled he would strike out, counting his steps until ho had made a sufficient number to cover the desired distance. The cord or string used by him in fastening his legs together, says the Leader-Courier, was made of raw hide, so that when he was traveling through the grass of a morning when the dew was on it would become wet and stretch nearly a foot, and so his steps were much longer of a morning than they were of an evening after the sun had dried the whang leather and shortened it. Consequently the man having his land surveyed in the morn ing would have much more in his quarter section than his neighbor who had his work done in the afternoon. These old surveys and corners then es tablished cause annoyance even to this day. Her Hum)- Huwl iies.s.

Oyster Bay: “He is keeping in close touch with the political situation in every state through an extraordinary voluminous correspondence, and not a political pulse-beat in any section of the coun try that escapes him.” These are the impulses oi the cun ning demagogue and schemer, not the Impulses that caused our Revolution ary fathers to leave their plows in the fur rows at the sound of drum; not the Impulse that brought out Clay's cago in 1888 with them, but General Alger opened his bar’l and tue dele gates at. once, being bought twice, re cognized his superior claims for the presidency. Booker is a real negro, not one of the half-dipped kind, an educated, shrewd negro, but with a yearning to wipe out the color line, as Roosevelt can make oath to. Ho is the unques tioned leader of his race, in whom they have unbounded confidence, and through him the votes of the negro delegates can be had. Roosevelt has been counting tlie political pulse-beats for many months, and when he got Booker’s ebon legs under the White House mahogany, he purposed a “scoop' on the other fellows. If Booker goes to tne coronation wiui the delegates lie may be able to deliver the goods. Roosevelt poses as a reformer, but studies and practices the tricks of the demagogue. When civil service com missioner, he rightly denounced x -ark son of lowa as a convention packer and unscrupulous partisan; but now lie wants a convention packed himself and unscrupulous work done, therefore he bjeings Clarkson out.of well-deserv ed retirement, and gives him a high office in New York. lie knows military renown placed Washington, Jackson, Harrison, Tay- DOESN’T TRUST HORSES. Part Manilla ami Purt Idiot In Wliat One Man I’iilln Them. I have spent much of a long life in the observation of horses. 1 have reared them, broken them, trained them, ridden them, driven them In ev ery form from the plow to four-in hand. The result of these years of study is summed up In one sentence —I believe the horse, to he part maniac and part idiot. Every horse at some time in ids life develops into a homi cidal maniac. I believe any man who trusts himself or his family to the power ol' a horse stronger than himself to bo lacking in common sense and wholly devoid of ordinary prudence, writes a Kentuckian to Harper’s Week ly. 1 have driven one commonplace horse every other day for six years over the same road and then had him go crazy and try to kill himself and me because u leaf fluttered down in front of him. 1 have known scores of horses, apparently trustworthy, appar ently creatures of routine, go wild and insane over equally regular and recur ring phenomena. No amount of ob servation can tell when the brute will break out. One mare took two gener ations of children to school over the same quiet road and then in her nine teenth year went crazy because a rooster crowed alongside the road. She killed two of the children. If any one can tell me of one good reason why man should trust a horse, I should he glad to know. The* Volne >f Sinking. From the medical standpoint singing Is u most important exercise both by virtue of its influence on the emotions, on the respiratory movements and on the development of the lungs. Nothing better shows the beneficial effect of singing in developing the chest and warding off the lung diseases than the great pulmonary development and free dom from pulmonary disease among professional singers. Their general health, moreover, is exceptionally good, and this is probably in a large meas ure attributable to the mere exercise of the calling. It is especially useful In defective chest development and in chronic heart disease. Provided the patient can sing with comfort there is no condition in which singing is con traindicated unless it he a tendency to tuberculosis oraneurismal biemoptysis. It is scarcely necessary to gay that the singer should be so clad as to allow absolute freedom of the chest move ments, there should be no constriction of the neck or waist, the collar should be low and ample and the stays, if worn, ample and loose. Why SuvaKCN Turn In Their Toes. In tlie first place, the foot naturally takes that position when it has never been confined by boots or the ankle distorted by high heels. Convenience Is also ori the side of the natural posi tion of the foot in the case of the sav age, for he has to do much walking through long grass and undergrowth in forests. Consequently his progress would lie much Impeded if he turned his toes out to catch these obstacles Instead of brushing them aside and outward, as he now does’. Lastly, the savage uses his foot much more as a help to his hands than xve do, and it is obvious that in doing this he must turn his toes in.

The Way Two An \al Greenhorns Did II on n Warship. “On one of Uncle Sam’s warships once," said a naval officer, “we had enlisted among our able seamen two Irishmen, Mike and Barney. They had come aboard three days after they hud lauded in the couutry, hut they learned some tilings so quickly that they had acquired a very definite idea of the meaning of the Fourth of .Tuly long be fore the day arrived, which was some thing like a month after we had sailed on our cruise. It chanced that the two were on an early morning watch to gether when Independence day dawned, and they at once began to plan for Its proper welcome. They seemed to real ize, you see, that there was necessity for an unusual display of patriotism. “Barney suggested they fire a salute from one .of the forward eight pound era, but Mike feared that would rouse the entire ship. ‘Niver moind,’ an swered Barney. ‘Do ye hold a bucket ferninst the muzzle, an’ ’twill deaden the sound.’ And three minutes later that gun went off with such a roar as brought every man of the crew out of the midst of peaceful dreams. “I sent for Barney. ‘Now, my man,’ said I, ‘tell me everything.’ “‘Sure,’ lie faltered, ‘it was only a hit uv a cilibration because uv our in dipindence.’ “ ‘And where’s Mike?’ I demanded. “‘Captain, dear,’ lie groaned, ‘he whit aftlier a bucket uv wnther, an’ if lie comes back as quick as lie wint he's due roigbt now.' ” And then the officer closed ids story with the simple statement, “But Mike was never recovered.” Sinister Moll von. Two meu—William Jones and John Smith—were neighbors and deadly en emies. They often crossed swords in court and out of it, and Junes, being what might be called more clever than Smith, invariably got the better of the encounter. In the end so cowed was Smith that the slightest move on the part of Jones made him nervous and suspicious, and with the remark, “I wonder what object he has in this?” he called up all ids reserve faculties to combat the fresh attack which poor Jones never contemplated. One day a friend called on Smith and greeted him with: “Well, old man, have you heard the news?” “No,” said Smith. “What news?” “Jones is dead. lie died last night at midnight,” replied the other. Smith paused, drew a hard breath, raised Ids hand to his forehead and thought, then blurted out: “Dead, did you say —Jones dead? Great heavens, I wonder what object he has in this?” I‘Jtiro|M‘iiii Arithmetic*.
