The father of his country knew how
to say no. Some ladies belonging to a
club in Washington have lately I'M
earthed number of unpublished letters
Of the Washington family. One is from
old Dame Mary Washington herself to
her son George. She tells George she
has the rheumatism; that her house roof
leaks, and that she is coming to the
capital to spend the winter with him.
Georges answer is unique. He writes
back to his mamma that he is sorry she
has rheumatism; that her roof shall be
mended at once; but as to her spending
the winter with him, she can't do it. 1t
would not be agreeable to their guests
to have her eat nj the family table, and
so she would either have to eat at the
servants table or have her meals sent to
her room, and that would not be con,
venient for his wife. Is there in this O
horrid suggestion that the mother Of
George Washington ate with her knife?
In any case all must agree with the YER
dict of the lady who read the letter to
the club-that it was pity Washington
had never learned to tell lie.

A Chance for the Colored Girl

Wages for domestic service are good
at all times for good service. There is
prospect now that they will be higher
than ever, for time at least. The stop
ping of immigration during the cholera
quarantine will cut off the vast supply
of Irish, German and Scandinavian
hired girls. There is scarcity of salts
factory domestic help, and there are at
the labor agencies of the immigrant
ports always orders ahead for new girls
on their arrival. These have almost
supplanted the colored domestic serv-
ants Of the old time. There is an easily
understandable feud between Irish and
negro.
If now the colored girl is wise she can
step in and regain the lost ground and
fully occupy it. Then, when immigra-
ton starts in again, these, our own Amer
lean citizens, will be the ms, and the
outs cannot displace them. 1t is fact
that colored servants are more attached
to those whom they work for than the
foreign girls are. They are also more
polite and respectful in their manners.
On the other hand, the colored girl is
apt to be lazier and less clearly than
her white rival, though in both respects
some of the creatures who cross the
ocean in the steerage are hard to beat.
Perhaps freedom has made the colored
woman more industrious and taught
her something of the mysteries of ankee
neatness. Naturally she is good cook
At any rate there is great opportunity
now before her, if she has the shrewd-
ness to see it.

The Right Kind Of Church Union.


There is growing conviction among
thoughtful church members that Chris
tianity means nothing less than that
Christians should take hold of the pres
ent sociological problems which disturb
the world and solve them. They believe
that the application Of true Christian
principles to the questions of labor, of
pauperism. crime, etc.. will settle them
once for all. To this end members of
all denominations they believe should
unite in one grand Christian brother
hood for work.
The nucleus of such a noble organiza-
ton is already formed and is called the
Christian Unity brotherhood This so
ciety asks that in all the church congre-
nations of America the last Sunday in
October, the 30th, be devoted by the
pastors to sermon on the brotherhood
and cooperation of all Christian people
for one grand, farreaching effort to
make the world better w. T. Stead,
editor of The Review of Reviews, and
his coadjutor, DIR. Albert Shaw, of the
American edition of The Review of Re-
views, have taken the work earnestly in
hand. In Great Britain Mr.. Stead has
given many addresses to the members
and ministers of various denominations
on the furtherance of this work of the
brotherhood.
The idea is not that any member of e
Christian church Should ~, erVe hairs
breadth from his are, lance 10 his own
denomination. biit tHat 81! c.n.c.i men,
bers should unite in society for general
and reformatory work OH the basis of
the universally recognized principles of
ethics. They are to join hands till, in
the words of the eloquent Bible saying,
1.-The hearts of all the people were
moved as the heart of one man." Thus
joined they will attack rotten municipal
government, drunkenness, gambling and
other evils.
In several cities of Great Britain
"civic centers" have been formed for
work; also in our own country-in
Washington and Philadelphia. This
brotherhood of Christian unity will
work valiantly till it turns the slums of
a city into clean, decent, well lighted
streets. 1t will establish public bath
houses and gymnasiums, as well as larger
Fairgrounds for children, with more
parks for both young and old. 1t will
start free newsrooms and move in the
interests of better homes for poor work
ing people, and also for shorter hours of
work for the overburdened. One of its
aims will be the election of better pub
lie officers. If all this is not Christianity,
what is?

Our Public Well.

At the meeting OF the Keytesville
city council on Monday night OF last
week an appropriation OF $50 was
made for the purpose OF sinking q
public well.
Mayor vandiver appointed Alder
man J. A. Egan and c. P. Thrash

select q location and superintend

The location selected was at the

meuced at once and the well sunk to
a depth of IS feet, when the appro-
,priation was exhausted.
Forty-two feet OF the depth was in
dirt and 33 feet through sand rock.
1t is estimated that the well will
furnish 50 barrels of water day,
which will, at least. be an abundance
for drinking purposes and leave

II it is found that the present
depth will not furnish q sufficient

WEATHER crop BULLETIN.
Week Ending April 9th, 1905.

WccA Euofuk Hpfu otus toys.
During the fore part Of the week
the weather was quite cool and
heavy froets occurred in many local
titles, though very little damage is re-
ported; but durinD the last three
days the temperature was much
higher and the mean temperature OF
the week was from 2 to 3 degrees
above the normal throughout the
state. The precipitation was slightly
in excess of the northeast section,
but in all sections there was q def
cheney. The average for each section
was as follows: Northwest. "a inch;
northeast, .S5 inch; central, .3S inch;
southeast, 81 inch, and southwest,
50 inch. The rains were very bsnei-
eial to wheat. oats and grasses. but
much more 10 needed In the central
and northern counties. On the
whole, the week was very favorable
for farming operations, except In q
fcw localities. and fairly favorable
Tor growing crops.
Wheat came through the winter
well. very little being reported win.
ter-killed, and is generally in fne con-
dition.
Oatsowing is about completed; the
crop has been put in under favorable
conditions. and the early sown are
coming mp well.
Grasses havs made a good start
and in some counties pastures are
nearly sufficient for stock.
Flowing for corn has progressed ia
vorably, with the soil in good condi-
ton, and planting has commenced in
the central aud southern sections.
Early potatoes have also been plant
ed and gardens are being made.
Fruit. as a rule. promises well. ex-
cept peaches which were almost en-
tirely killed in some localities by the
severe cold weather OF the past win
ter. while in Others, they promise a
good crop.
