fact that was hourly growing weaker.

the negro problem is education, he made
it his business to seek funds from the
rich winter residents for proposed
school and was so successful that the
institution was soon established. The
school is now a f1ourishing institution
and has $50 pupils, who are taught
trades and useful occupations and are
given the rudiments of a regular COM
mon school education. The school is
supported entirely by voluntary contri-
buttons which Mr. Wyman secures dur
ing the year while travelling about the
country, and when the funds run low
he thrusts his hand into his own philan-
thropic pocket
The school is in charge of Charles
Rice, colored graduate of the Atlanta
university, and he has one assistant
who teaches the boys trades, another
who instructs the girls in needlework
and cooking third who looks after
the musical education of the pupils and
a fourth who runs a sort of kindergar-
ten for the pickaninnies.
1t is said that arithmetic is the most
difficult study for negro children whose
parents are illiterate. Grammar is an
other poser, but geography, history,
reading and spelling, which are more
interesting to the immature mind, are
more easily acquired. Mr.. Wyman is
about 70 years of age, is veteran of
the late war and was Rhode Island s
Worlds fair commissioner.

They had eaten philopena, and as the
result was doubtful they each decided to
pay the forfeit, which had been left for
the losers own selection.
They happened to meet on the street that
day, and as he turned to walk back with
her he said:
GIVE just come from your house, Miss
Edith, and / hope you will like what I
have left there
"Oh, I'm sure shall. You always have
such lovely taste. I, too, have just sent
you a trifie which hope you may find to
your liking"
"Oh, Miss Edith, you know couldn't

You really ought to come in and see my

charming present"
''You are sure to be surprised at any
rate, Miss Edith, - said the young man,
with sickly smile, as he backed down
the steps.
His words were verified, for she found
that he had brought her a pug, while on
reaching home he opened perfumed pack
ct to find that she had sent him-a red
necktie. And now they are wondering
what to say to each other when they next
meet.-Pittsburg Post.

companion during their enforced separa-
ton. A few months before his death he
apparently could bear the boys absence
no longer and sent for him. The boy re-
turned, and during the novelist's fatal
sickness was a constant attendant at
his bedside. He was present when the
famous romancer breathed his last and
was nearly heartbroken when all that
was mortal of the author of CDR. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde" was laid to rest on the
lofty summit of Vaea mountain.
The boy has inherited considerable
talent for art from his father, and it
was Stevenson's intention to educate
him to be an artist. Part of the proper
ty to which he has fallen heir is one
half of the great plantation owned by
the novelist in Samoa and half inter
est in valuable Oakland real estate. He
is a nephew of Dwight Strong, Jr.,
curator of the Oakland library, and his
grandfather, Dwight Strong, ST., leads
the life of hermit in California.

What He Wanted,

Dashaway-What fools we men arel We
meet a pretty girl, talk with her, get in
terested and then we forget everything
else. It may be a moon, it may be music,
it may be a mood Ambition is nothing
The future is forgotten, and slaves to the
delicious present we allow ourselves tC
become hopelessly entangled, and then we
awake from the dream, wondering just
what is the particular difference between a
man and donkey anyway.
Cleverton-Phew! What's the matter
now?
Dashaway-A great deal. In the first
place, last summer met girl No. 1. She
was beautiful, or thought so, which is
the same thing. We became engaged-that
is, gave her a ring-and it was under
stood, just the same as all those things are
understood. Then went to the noun
tains
observation-disclosures you met girl No. 2.
Dashaway-Precisely
Cleverton = She was also beautiful.
There was moon, and there was soft and
wondrous music; also a hotel balcony,
dark and sequestered. Item, another ring.
Dashaway-You are a mind reader of
the first water. But that is not all. Later
on in the season went to visit my aunt,
who has country home. There I met a
third girl.
Cleverton-Also beautiful You were
thrown much together. Your sympathetic
souls met, and you made fool of yourself
once more. Ring No. 3.

low perhaps you can help me. Those girls
are all here in town.

you going to do about it?
