Au-FOOlS Day.

From time long beyond the memory
of the ''oldest inhabitant," the frst day
OF April has been deemed to give license
to practical jokes to any extent. In the
Middle ages and down to the eighte enth
century, the peasantry of Europe cele.
DRAFTED All Fools Day by gathering in
some church, choosing bishop or arch
bishop, or pope of fools, and perform
ing euch burlesques ON religious cere-
monies as would now be thought highly
improper, if not sacrilegious. 1t is said
there is fool born into the world every
minute, and the literature of all centuries
Is sprinkled with illusions to them
Carlyle said that the population of Great
Britain was thirty million leople, most.
ly FOOLS" This was deyspepsia run mad
but almost all persons are foolish
about some things. Sometimes it does
not make any important difference, but
these are matters in which it is fatal TO
be fool Oh or tooled-and one of these
is the selection of railroad when you
travel. You will be pre.eminently wise
il you choose the Burlington Route
when travelling, for it goes everywhere
and has the finest accommodations. For
psrt culars, CAL on your home agent, or

cinicism is devilish-as it ought to be,
of course, under the clrcumstances-but
attractive; and then, again, he is bright

OuiscOnSin,

This is not Worlds Fair prize puz-
zle, but the old Fredch way of spelling
the title of what is now one of the best
states in the Union-Wisconsin The
French explorers named the territory
from the river which rises in the north
ern portion OF the State, runs due south
for $50 miles and then turns westward
to the Mississippi. The word means
"wiid rushing river" It is a rather
singular fact that three separate parties
of early explorers, in their routes, mark
ed out nearly the boundaries of the
present State. One started from the
mission of La Pointe, on the South shore
Of Lake Superior, went to the head of
the lake, where Duluth now is, and
then came to the site of St. Paul. A
second party came from Green Bay,
along the Fox and Wisconsin rivers, to
the Mississippi. A third went up the
Mississippi from about Dubuque. The
Indian tribes fell under French control
early, and number OF savages fought
on the French side on the day of Brad
docks defeat. when George Washington
saw his first battle. Prairie du Chen
was for time held by the British in the
war Of 1912, and Victory takes its name
from the battle which closed the Black
Hawk war of 1882 Indian mounds,
contsing many strange and curious re-
mains, are numerous in the western
part of the State, easily accessible to the
touist by the Burlington Route, which
whirls the traveller through lovely seem
cry, and past the location of many a
romantic legend. For tickets call on

Mr.. ED1roR:-
Sir recognizing as do the power of
the press, and your ever readiness to
promote equity and justice, I venture
these few lines. Sir this race denial and
discrimination against the Afro.Ameri.
can in this grand old city is indeed be-
coming alarming. Most any restaurs mt
keeper or proprietors of lunch counters
will refuse with impunity the most GU
tured and refined lady or gentleman Of
our race, provided they be dark enough
to indicate that there is Afro-American
blood in their veins. Sir, has not this
damnable outrage gone far enough?
Have not the virtue of our wives and
daughters been sufficiently sullled by
such outrageous surbordination: Is
there not a remedy? if not, can not one
be devised? Should we stop to question
the cost? For my part 1 answer no, a
thousand times no. We should invoke
the strong arm of the law in our behalf,
we should spare neither money nor
oHOFLS. we GQOuld cease 10 call our
selves men while we stand quietly by
and witness such Lase discrimination,
for there is no true man of any race
with the fire of manhood burning in bis
breast that will eubmit to such tyranny
Can We ipe out this henious practice?
I answer yes. How can it be accomplish
ed? By Afro-American citizens coming
together, donating their means and
create fund, and set it aside for the ex :
press purpose for the PROSECUTION of this
work. l hope Mr.. Editor that you will
urge this matter through the columns of
your paper. We should not procrastinate.
1 spurn with contempt, the man who
sulks in the storm and asks, why does
the eun not shine, when he has only to
20 under the shelter to be comfortable
No man should stop to ask who suggest
ed the idea, nor whether the writer be a
life long residence of this city. it j.
euought to know that such a state OF
affairs exist and apply the remedy.
Yours truly.

A terrible tragedy in every day life is be-
ing enacted daily which might be averted

What Will Bring US Together:

the first lesson should be to come to.

known as Race Pride. Suppose one

dred dollars into some legitante bust,
ness-a dry goods store or grocery which
would be patronized by all the members
of the race within it's reach. Would this
not help? Such an undertaking can be

spectacular Extravaganza, cali Bahia" a,
the Metropolitan Opera House next
week, requirs the most careful and ex.
perienced direction and necsssitates for
it's well being the strictest, discipline
One of the most praise worthy features
of David Henderson's latest attraction.
and one which is rather unusual with
big scenic, productions after they have
been playing long time, is the fresh
ness and brightness of the costumes, the
absence of tarnish and wear from the
scenery and the attention given to the
lines and "business" by the people.
"Ali Bahia" has now been presented con
tlnuously since the second of laet June,
and yet it is eaid to look as new and 90
with as much dash and spirit as though
1t had Just been produced. This Is due
to the perfect system that prevails in the
organization. Every department has a
head; the ballet-master conducts rehers
ais os his dances regularly twice week;
the musical director instructs his singers
as often, the stage manager holds almost
daily rehearsals of the principal people,
and his assistant on Tuesdays and Thurs
days instructs complete set of under
studies. "a stitch in time saves nine"
is the motto of the the wardrobe de-
partment, and the wardrobe mistress
has her sewing and laundry woman con.
stantly at work. fla bit of foil comes
off the scenery the Gene painter i'm
mediately restores it, and ifa batten is
broken the STAGE carpenter repairs it
without delay. These are the reasons
why ''All Baba'' looks spick and span
although it has been played nearly four
hundred times and has travelled over
fourteen thousand miles.

His Crime,

The following xtra-judicial decis-
ion is said to have been delivered
some years ago by Judge in South
ern city. A man had been brought
before him on a warrant for vagrancy.
The evidence was unmistakable, and
the young lawyer defending the man
saw that the case was hopeless.
While badgering his wits to know
what to say, however, he noticed that
his client was fairly well-dressed, and
called the attention Of the court to
that fact, declaring that no man who
wore good clothes" could with pro-
priety be considered vagrant, as
that word signited a ragged, dirty
yagabond. Observing that the court
made memorandum Of good clothes, "
he wisely sat down without further
remarks.
When the prosecuting attorney had
finished what he had to offer, the
Judge. who was blessed with fine,
rich brogue, said: 1.-THE cart, having
lttintively hazard the ividince and the
remarks az COUNSEL, Is av the opinion
that. inasmuch as the prisoner wears
good clothes, he cannot properly be
considered a vagrant; but, as he has
not shown to the satisfaction of the
cart, how he obtained thin clothes,
7 shall bind him over for simple lar
ceny"
He was SO bound over, and the pa
ners are on record in the County
Clerks Office.

Chooze the Little Ones.

It is seldom that large, powerful
dog proves a genuine protection
against professional burglars. He
may keep an amateur at bay, but a
professional who is an expert at his
work will be able to guard against
him. Elaborate calculations arc gen.
orally made in advance as to the diff
culties to be overcome and big dog
is not likely to be in the way. If the
animal is kept in the yard the first
step taken Is to poison or drug it, and
it becomes, in consequence, source
of danger by creating an unwarranted
feeling Of security A little dog that
banks and runs away when ap-
preached Is far better protector,
and babies and young children are
even better still 1t is very seldom
that boarding school is robbed, and
in selecting a house for operations
the burglar is apt to pass those
which his reliable informant tells
him have babies and young children
among the occupants. When there
is baby in. the house, either the
mother or the nurse is sure to be
light sleeper from habit, and ready to
wake up at the faintest sound. Then
there is the chance, which is in itself
considerable, Of the baby waking up
and contributing general cry to tie
entertainment, and altog ather it 10
good business to avoid house wherA
there are young children when mid
night visit is contemplated. The
burglar community is well aware of
this and acts accordingly. st. Louis
