THE BOY NEXT DOOR.


Yells that brought 70 mind the savage
In his war paint all alert
Raids that OF recalled the raySEO
Of some hordrriand expert
Hangings on TO trees and fenceA
In his efforts To explore.
Startling TO body senses
Was the little boy next doorl
II a window pain was shattered,
Or missile cleaved the air,
If the streets repose was scattered
Heads out peeping everywhere
Little need for explanation,
All had happened oft before;
Mite Of terror and vexation
Was that little hoy next door
Cats and dogs by intuition
Knew Of his approach and fed;
Jaunty was the hats position
On kis rogush. curly head.
AS with bearing independent
He would bound the crossings Der;
With good nature all resplendent
Was the little boy next doorl
Brave, chivalric and respectful
To the old who came his way
With a sympathy regretfn
Toward each beggar, day by day;
How the wild and tame were mingled
In his natures bounteous store'
How my nerves we're hourly tingled
By that little boy next door
When. at sunset, homeward walking,
Once missed the childrens S noise,
Marked their groups In whispers talking.
Leaving all their romping Joys
Saw the snow white ribbons streaming
From the house stopped before
Tear drops on my cheeks we're cleaning
For the little boy next door.

Sum in Division.

Gen. Knox, of revolutionary fame, was
man of quick perceptions and ready
wit, and withal was accustomed to say
what he pleased After the war he lived
at Thomastown. Me-, where he had a
large estate
Gen George Ulmer, of one Of the
neighboring towns, presented himself to
Gen. Knox one day as a land surveyor
He detailed somewhat ostentatiously his
long experience, together with his recent
purchase of a new and very superior set
of instruments If Gen Knox needed
any service in his line, he would engage
to give perfect satisfaction.
"lou're the very man ] have been
looking forr' exclaimed Gen. Knox. ~
have hundred acres of land which l
wish to divide into house lots of ten acres
each How many will il make2'
Ulmer was considerably disconnected
by the suddenness of the question, and,
naturally enough, was prepared to find
it difficult He began to collect himself
mentally re-stating the premises, and
striving to acquire sufficient GOODNESS tc
solve the problem correctly,
Gen. Knox counted as many seconds
as he thought necessary. and then inter-
rupted the others cogitations by remark
ing, abruptly, "Oh, well, it's no matter
about an immediate answer. Any other
time will DO Just as well. and at once
fell to taking about something else
Ulmer was so chagrined at his own
stupidity that he never broached the sub
iect afterward.-Youth's Companion.

tender mercy of those who fought to
destroy both the country and negro,
kno wing at the time that the negro
would not be permitted by the Demo.
cratic South to enjoy his constitutional
rights as citizen.
Ex-President Cleveland said, ''the
fact that they are citizens, entities
them to all the rights due to that rela-
tion, and charges them with all it's
duties, obligations and responsibilities" |"
Cleveland evidently regarded the ne.
gro's citizenship as having been settled.
What was needed then was an execu
tive to enforce the Constitution and
the laws. We now have that Execu
tive. President Harrison said: "lt is
the duty of the executive to administer
and enforce in the methods and by
the instrumentalities pointed out and
provided for by the Constitution, all
the laws enacted by Congress. These
laws are general, and their administra.
tion should be uniform and general.
AS citizen may not elect what law he
will obey, neither may the Executive
elect what he will enforce. The duty
to obey and to execute embraces the
Constitution in its entirety, and the
whole code of laws under it," Does
anybody doubt the wisdom of the Pres
ident's conclusions? Why not enforce
the laws giving every American citizen
his rights?

of Col. D. a. Windsor are pushing his
(Windsor's) claim for the position of
Postmaster of Alexandria. Col.
Windsor made a capital Postmaster
and broke the rule of Southern Re-
publicans by appointing colored clerk
in his Office. The friends of Hon. l..

are pushing their claims respectively
for the same position. Will either OF

I Aousands or People Flock Into the

FORT SMITH, April 22.-Oklahoma
was opened at noon to-day, and into
the promised land rushed the boomers,
There were several fights by night
between the troops and the different
SQUADS of intending settlers. at the
first signs of daybreak the vast army of
boomers began breaking camp prepara-
tory to rushing across the border.
Several hours before the appointed
time immense trains of white-topped
wagons, headed by feet cavalcades of
hersemen, were far within the limits
fixed by the law. The small bands of
sentries and guards on the eastern and
southern borders were utterly unable
to check the mighty tide of men that
poured into the Promised Land.
Although heavily reinforced during the
night by regular troops from Fort Reno
and by the Indian police from the
Greek Nation, the guards were beaten
back like straws before the wind.
So far as known only two col.
lisions between the guards and boomers
were attended with fatalities, but in
these two men and one woman
were killed Fully 500 boomers
were surprised in attempted night
marches and compelled to retreat.
Crooks, .blacklegs. swindlers and ras-
calls Of all kinds are in Oklahoma now,
and they are practicing among ali
classes Of boomers. The thieves are in
no hurry to move ahead, but content
to stay with the masses. Instead of
one man having been sandbagged and
robbed at Purcell, it is said hundred
have been similarly treated all along
the border. Many are swindled In less
violent ways by pretended officers, who
secure money from claimants to leave
them alone on their land.

THE loyal white American citizens
emancipated the negro; they made him
a soldier to fight for the salvation OF a
country he had always been enslaved
in; they amended the Constitution OF
the United States, thereby making him
a citizen; they admitted him to the
halls of Congress to legislate in COM
pany with them for the whole country
they sent him to represent this great
Government In foreign countries; they
placed him in various Offices OF profit
and trust; they opened the schools and
colleges for his education; they have
boasted times without number that the
negro has made great progress in edu
cation and accumulation of property
and yet the whites talk about the
negro's being a problem yet to be
solved. In view of the above facts
are not the whites instead of the black:
the problem to be solvedp However
much a problem the negro was before
the war, he is not so to-day They
