The Beautiful Children.
Ichristian Advocate

A child three years old was dying of scar
let fever. She fingered long. and the last
day of her life she was unconscious for hours
Many times her mother tried to rouse her,
but in vain. She seemed to be sinking
away in death without a token of recogni-
ton.
Suddenly she opened her eyes wide, lifted
her head, and looked around she room a.
though filed with wonder and delight. She
clspped her hands, and cried eagerly to her
mother.
10 mamma, see the beautiful childrenir
Her mother said, "wherel7
SO, all aroundI" she replied: and she
turned her head as though she saw them in
every direction. No written words can de-
scribe the rapture of her look and voice.
They are comingl they are comingl they
are close to mef' she said in transport Of
Joy.
She put up both hands, laughing out with
that gleeful ringing sound peculiar TO little
children-and then she died.

pay.
No intelligent man in Indiana believes

trail committee to go over Indiana and inter

in the hope that something can be
gathered up which can be used as

We ask those Republicans of this city who
have our business interests at heart to see
that the Republican leaders call off their
dogs. The Democracy of this city and coun-

it has placed in charge of our benevolent
institutions TO be prosecuted and bounded
to death without cause. A short time ago
the Journal was calling on ths grand jury to
indict the men who removed the fsther.in-
law of one of its proprietors from the
head of the. Deaf and Dumb Asylum. 1t may
be that this matter, too, is laid over until
the March term. and that the trustees of the

doing that which has saved the people of the

The Diphtheria.
Detroit Free Press,

Detroit Free Press.i
Many portions of this State are afflicted
with this disease; in some it has grown into
East Saginaw that last week the local board
of health closed the schools. This course
was recommended by the State board Of
health, on the ground that it was more
readily communicated in crowded rooms, a.
well as by drinking from the same cup, put
ting other children's slate pencils in the
mouth, and thumbing the same book which
has been turned by the thumb of an affected
child
The New York City board of health, in
1873. say that " it may be communicated in
the act of kissing, coughing, splitting, sneez-
ing, or by the infected articles used, as
towels, napkins, handkerchief. ETC. The
poison clings with great tenacity to certain
places, rooms and houses, where it may oc-
casion cases after lapse of many months"
A diagram of the course of the disease in
Lynn, Mass, shows that it increased from 10
cases in January to SO in June and July
when the vacation occurred. Then the dis
ease dropped to 20 cases, but on the opening
of the schools in September, the number OF
cases at once increased. rising to 140 in Octo-
Der, but dropping again to so in December,
though whether this was consequence o.
closing the schools does not appear.
In one or two cases in this State the dis
ease has subsidized on the closing of the schools
and it is certainly worth trying as an expert
ment wherever it becomes or threatens to
become an epidemic. 1t is now violent in
the Lake Superior region, and the closing OF
the schools is in contemplation there
The Michigan State board of health has
issued a circular giving some advice in re-
gard TO the desease 1t is it says a blood poison
ing disease, and comes on from one or two
weeks after exposure. The disease is less
dangerous and fatal when it attacks the upper
part of the throat than when it is in the air
passages. Immediate isolation Of the patient
and disinfection of the room and vessels, the
burning of the cloths receiving the discharges
from the mouth and nose, or the kidneys and
bowels are imperative. The whole house,
especially its sleeping rooms, should be well
ventilated, the house, drains and the drinking
water attended to. In case of death the BODY
should, as soon as possible, be put with disin-
fectants into tightly closed coffin, and ex-
posed TO view only through glass. and few
people, no children should attend the funeral
After recovery the clothing, bedding, carpets,
mats exposed to the contagion should b.
burned, exposed to superhested steam or Be
well boiled.
All persons recovering should be considered
dangerous, and not attend church, school or
any public assembly until the physician per-
mits him to do so.
All crowded assemblies in badly ventilated
places should be avoided during the epi-
demic-

THRIFTY coLoRED PLANTERS.
What Industrious Negroes Can Do In Louis-

ICarrol Conservative
A few weeks ago We printed d statement
OF the prosperous condition of Tilman Banks
and Arthur Richardson, two thrifty coioTsd
planters IN our parish-that statement was
a fixed fact we'll known 20 our people as far
as il went. Now we propose 10 show the
details OF last years work as far as Richard
son is concerned.
Orr object In this is to prove that indus
trious ne groes can not only earn good liv-
ing in this country, but they can make
money over and above their actual wants:
in other words with proper economy they
can lay something away for rainy DAY
every year.
Arthur Richardson. as we have stated, is
the owner of so acres of land on what is
known as the Ejgewood plantation, about a
mile from Providence. The land be owns is
of a class With the lands generally % this

A LOST SORROW.
ELLA WHEELER

When out Of our lives q care lie taken
That has darkened its chambers with gloon like
night,
We sometimes feel like soul foraker,
AS. blinded we walk IN the glare Of light,
Our feet have been sore. and our brains nave besn
weary,
As watched with a sufferer racked with woes
Yet the earth seemed blank and life seemed dresry
When he turned from watching TO deaths repose.
So now with my heart that is freed from sorrow-
So now with my eyes that dried Of tears;
1 am lonely to-day, and dread tomorrow.
Missing the grief that mine for years,
For what was burden became a treasure
What was bitter grew honey-sweet;
And my old-tiDe chums glad Joy and Pleasure.
Now seem strangers to me when We meet.
Rugged my sorrow, and nursed IL only
1t was friend, and food, and drink, In one;
And, rev il is gone, an strangely lonely
miss the shadows, aud tire Of the sun,
tire Of the crown, aud miss the burden,
miss the trouble that saddensd life;
And the calm repoee that Is Sorrows guerdon
Is harder 70 bear than its pain and strife

STATEMENT.

By the foregoing statement it will be seen
that liberal allowance for expenses of all
kinds has been made, and yet on SO acres OF
land d net profit has been realized by Rich
ardson of 1908 % This is an exceptional
case, it may be said, because Richardson is
favorably situated at preseu', yet he has
raised himself up to his present position by
dint of economy and industry, which any
other negro may do II he follows in his foot
steps.
Take the ordinary field hand as above set
forth; he gets his rstions. a house TO live in
and Sl2l cash. A portion of that eau easily
be laid aside as foundation fors better con
dition in time to come. We have not said
anything about the corn, peas. potatoes and
vegetables that are grown for plantation
use, all OF which counts in the economy of a
workirgman's life.
This statement, which Is true in every
particular will, we think, satisfy anyone
who examines 1t, that the condition of the
colored people in Esst Carroll is incompera-
bly, better than that of thousands of white
people in the East and the North, and in
stead of being one OF suffering and semi
bondage, as is too often asserted by the enc
mics of the South. il will compare favorably
with thet of the most favored laborIDg classes
In any portion OF the world.

The United States the Great Newspaper
Country.

Our great progress in journalism is shown
by the fact that in 1875 there were in the
United States less than 40newspapers and pc
riodicals, whose aggregate issue for that year
comprised 100000 copies; now the united
press publishes over 500 daily newspapers;
more than 1000 weeklies, and about 600
monthly publications. Of the dailies that
existed in 1870, about 100000 were struck
off that year; of the weeklies, about 600 0O0,-
600; and of the other serial publications
about 100000 900, amounting in all to l.
500, 100000 copies. And TO sum the matter
up yet more forcibly, it must be stated that
the United States publishes more newspa-
pers. with greater combined circulation than
all the other countries of the world can to-
gether boast of having. The Oldest newspa-
per of uninterrupted publication in this
country is the Hartford Courant, which has
already attained the hOary age of l16 years.
In regard to its last birthday, it plaintively
saws: ave believe that. with the already
announced death of New Hampshire pa
per, recently, at the age of ll6 we are left
IN a condition of absolute isolation. The last
of our early contemporaries is gone.

1t. Leon arose in his turn, and, lifting the
parking cup on high, said: Il drink to one
Whose image never may depart
Deep craven on this grateful heart,
Till memory is dead;
To one whose love for me shall last
When lighter passions long have passed,
So holy tits, and true;
To one whose love hath longer dwelt,
More deeply fixed, more keenly felt
Than sEy pledge to you."
Each guest upstarted at the word
And laid his hand upon his sword,
With fury.hashing eye;
And Stanley said; 1--WE crave the name
Proud knight, of this most peerless dame,
Whose love you count so high"
ST. Leon paused, as If be would
Not breathe her name in careless mood
Thus lightly to another
Then bent his noble head, though
To give that word the reverence due,
And gently said, "My mother"

VALUES ARE INCREASING Every relic of
the long continued depression-the seven
lean yesrs-now happily gone by, is passing
away. Prices are advancing, and every pur-
chased thing costs considerably more than
year ago. The farmer who values his land
and stock may Justly put up the figures from
% to 90 per cent. His income must be made
to increase in proportion, and this must be
done TO a great extent by increasing in every
possible way the productive value of his
property.
