Beginning Of the Slave Trade.

Sir John Hawkins was the frsu
English slave trader. He formed a
company composed Of the leading
men of London and fitted out three
small ships, which sailed in 1852.
Later, Queen Elizabeth lent Hawkins
aJeSus," a large ship Of her own Of
100 tons, and took shares in the Sec
ond African company. She not only
equipped the snip, but put 100 SOL
diers on board to provide for contin-
gencies. On the second voyage Haw-
kins brought 400 negroes, and had a
narrow escape Of losing them owing
to the lack Of water when he was
near the equator; but. as he piously
recorded in his log: "The Almighty
God would not suffer his elect to per-
ish, and sent breeze, which carried
them safe to Dominica. This was
the beginning Of the slave trade,
which lasted for more than two Gen.
turieS before it was finally suppressed.

Toward the close of the theatrical
season, we bad placed upon the boards
a new play called Deserted" 1t had
pathetic plot; the old, old story of a
loving, trustful woman deserted oy the
villain whose wife she believed herself
to be. The play was full Of tragic
incidents, and had hoped great things
e7o:n it.
It was at the last rehearsal that ]
came upon pretty scene not down IN
the programme Edgar Harding was
standing at Miss Gray's side in a re-
tired corner; as paused for an instant
saw him lean suddenly forward and
take her graceful form in his arms,
while he murmured tender love words.
And then strange occurrence took
place. AS turned swiftly, away, not
wishing to intrude upon a real love
scene, saw standing just behind the
pair-who were so engrossed IN each
other that they observed nothing-a
shadowy female figure. Isay shadowy,
for it seemed as if cloud was resting
upon the ethereal form, like g. misty
vail. She was stranger to me; I had
never met the lady before. A face of
pallid, unearthly beauty, with great sad
blue eyes, and mass of flowing golden
hair; she stood gazing upon that ,erder
scene with look of wild appeal, intense
suffering-anguish beyond expression.
And as drew little nearer saw, to
my intense horror, that one dainty
white hand grasped small dagger-a
sort of stiletto.
With stifed cry I dashed forward.
Surely the woman meant foul play,
and I must prevent it. l reached the
spot, only to come to halt, rub my
ewes in amazement. There was no one
there!
Dazed and bewildered. I turned
away. said nothing to anybody, but
decided to keep my own counsel, and
be on the alert for mischief, for that it
was intended I felt certain.
One night, not long afterward, I was
alone in my Office, just before the be-
ginipg of the evening performance,
when Edgar Harding suddenly ap-
peared, looking pale and troubled. He
sank into seat and covered his face
with his hands, while a long silence, a
very awkward silence, fell over the
room. He glanced up at last, and I
was startled by the changein his hand
some face. It was CHASTITY white and
hagsard, and his eyes looked like the
eyes of one who is gazing into his own
grave.

Outlaws Played Out

The last refuge of the gangs of out
laws which formerly infested the whole
OF the Western country is in the To-
dian Territory. We are taking in the
few of them yet left there, and all of
them seem to be no better than trifiers.
Look at the outlaws of Bill Cooks gang.
who yelled like mad last year as they
dashed after stray traveller, or pick
ed up chicken, a lost sheep, wan
dering pony. or gun. When the
great Bill himself was caught along
about New Years time, he turned out
to be no better than spook and never
made a fight. but dropped his gun and
got off his pony, and surrendered at
discretion to a superior force of three
deputy marshals. He let the enemy
tie his legs. throw him into a wagon,
and cart him off to Jail, where he is
now languishing. The pitiful humbug
was no more like the old-timers than
mouse is like a roaring lion. There
is a meaner case yet. When Cook had
been carted off, and his gang had re-
formed, wilder desperado, Cherokee
Bill, started Out 10 raise another gang
of outlaws. He had just got his gang
all ready for ravaging things among
the civilized Indians when a couple of
deputy marshals were told to look for
him. After Il week of looking, they
got close to Cherokee Bill the terror,
who was armed with Winchester ri
fle and two six-shooters. with head
quarters near Nowata, not for from
Wagner. One of the two deputy mar
shals, armed with a club. sprang at
the outlaw, knocked him down. chained
his hands and feet, got him into
handy conveyance, took him to Fort
Smith, and brought along the Win
chester and the siX-shoOters. Chero-
kee Bills style was as mean as Bill
Cooks The very best part of the
story remains to be told. The two
United States deputy marshals who
captured the blusterer and broke up
his gang were darkies. Serves him
right.
Such are the kind of fellows who
have taken the place of the terrorists,
first Spaniards then Americans, who
once made merry with travellers and
settlers upon the Western plains. |
The whole thing is played out.-N. I.

WOmen's Exalted Mission.

Certainly there is wisdom for two
young people who haves worn to love
each other, no matter whether there is
poverty or wealth, no matter whether
the days are bright or dark, to have a
home Of their own, writes Ruth Ash
more discussing "The Mistress Of the
Small House." in November Ladies
Home Journal. Boarding house life
is bad for women, and I do not believe
that any man has ever really enjoyed
it. God created women to make homes
for the men they love and for the
children whom God will send to them.
And home must be started at the
beginning of this new life. Do not
wait for big house and many servants,
but make happiness exist in little
house with one maid as help. 1t
can be done. I know it can. Do not
shrug your shoulders and say you do
not like housework. Work is only
disagreeable when it is badly done,
and from washing the silver and glass
to dusting the bric-a-brac and beating
up cake, everything may be daintily
done and well done if you go about it
in the right way and with the right
spirit. You will have to be cansiderate
and you will have to be patient. You
will certainly make mistakes, but each
mistake is one step toward success.
Burden yourself with patience, con-
sideration and tenderness you will
need to make calls upon them often
and often. Then you will gain 80
much. You will be the happy house
wife, the lady Of the house who has
the right to dispose hospitality and
good will; the mistress, not only of
the house, but of the heart Of your
husband, because for him you have
created home. And that is wo-
anly work-a better monument to you,
my dear, than the painting of a won
derful picture, the writing of great
book, or the composing of fine piece
of music. From out home all virtues
and all great works may come. No
man ever made home. He does not
know how. The woman's brain, heart
and hands are necessary, and home
is such beautiful thing 1t means
rest, it means peace and it means love.
Make one for your husband and let
him find these three great joys in its
four walls.
