MExICO's NEGRO COLONIsTs.
Their Condition More DcpIOrnbIe
Than First Supposed.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The condition of
the distressed negro colonists from Geor-
gia and Alabama, who deserted the Tia
hualilo colony in Mexico, is more deplor-
able than at first supposed. Consul Sparks
at Piedras' Negras, telegraphs the state
department that while rations are being
furnished to 800 colonists who have reached
Eagle Pass, Tex, they are practically
naked. The other 300 who have not yet
crossed to the United States have little to
eat No subscription to furnish those
colonists with food and clothing and
transportation TO their homes has been
started, and the state department has no
funds for the purpose. Many are ill., but
receiving medical attention from Assis-
tant Surgeon Tenick of the army. 1t is
not known how the colonists will be cared
for unless a subscription is started for
their relief, such as was done in this coun-
try for the starving Russian peasants

A large number of cases are known in

This resemblance is sometimes so close

"Im about to be married." writes
a girl to one of our exchanges, "and

am aware that I need a defense, and
take this means Of making it. am
Fl years old-old enough to know
better and do better, but l have no
choice. The man is widower with

we are quiet on that. He wants

will be glad to see me settled. l
would be happier earning S or Sc

l was not taught how. There are
thousands Of women in my position.
Every man who brings up his daugh-
tiers without starting them with the
means Of earning a livelihood is re-
sponsible for just such a mistake as l
There is not little grim humor in
this prospective brides confession,
and without suggestion. But the
idea need not.prevail. that girl should
learn trade or be so educated in GER
tain lines as to be able to earn her
own bread and butter. The true call
ing of woman is to be a wife and
mother. She is the home maker, and
so, whatever else be lacking in the
bread earning, she should know some
thing about bread baking, and then
the chances are that all other things
will follow. The world wants wives
and honse keepers a thousand fold
more than girls with mere trades.
The above is taken from the Ger
mantown (Pa.) independent There is
another class of girls, equally as pitia-
bic as the one described above. They
are told of in the following lines, the
author of which is unknown to US.
|
| To God and your own self be true.
| Don't link to his vices your virtue;
| You'll rue it, dear girl, il you do.
No matter how fervent his pleadings.
Be rot by his promises led;
| II he cant be a man while a-WOOing,
He'll never be one when he's wed.
Don't marry a man to reform him
TO repent it. alas. when too late;
The mission Of wives least successful
Is the making OF crooked limbs straight
There's many maiden has tried it,
And proved it failure at last;
Better tread your life's pathway alone
Than wed with a lover that's fast"
Mankind's much the same the world over
The exceptions you'll find are but few;
When the rule is defeat and disaster.
The chances are great against you.
Don't trust your bright hopes for tn
The beautiful crown of your youth.
To the keeping OF him who holds lightly
His fair name OF honor and truth.
To "hOnor and love- you must promise
Don't pledge what you annotfulfll,
If he'll have no respect for himself, deal
Most surely you, then. never will.
IT'S told OF US the frown OF a woman
Is strong As the blow Of a nan,
: And the world will be better when wome
Frown on error as hard as they can.
Make virtue the price OF your favor
| Place wrong doing under ban,
And let him who will win and wed 70
Prove himself in full measure man.
