Always Read Before you Sign.

Speaker Marden. of the Massachusetts,
House, told good story at the New Eng
land club dinner, Saturday, about the re-
suits of the popular petition-signing mania.
A petition was recently received in he
House praying for legislation TO fix more
definitely the rights Of colored children in
the public schools. it being claimed that
there was occasional discrimination against
them in some places. The petition had
been wisely circulated by colored people
and it bore the signatures Of judges, prom
inent business men and various public
officials, without regard to color, but when
the petition was presented its preamble was
found to read: 1--WE the undersigned. par
ents of colored children" etc.
