STORY OF DOUGLASS.
As lie Himself Told 1t in an Address to
a ColOred School


A dozen years ago Mr.. douglass
went back to Talbot county, Md,
where he was born a slave, TO buy
some Of the property which, in the
old days, he was forbidden by law to
own, because nature had colOred his
skin brown, and white men had, by
their superior strength, been able to
buy and sell his ancestors. While
there he was invited to address col
ored school. and this was what he said:
II once knew a little c0loreo boy
whose mother and father died when he
was but six years old. He was slave,
and had no one to care for him. lie
slept on a dirt floor in howell, and in
cold weather would crawl into a meal
bag head foremost, and leave his feet
in the ashes to keep them warm. Often
he would roast an ear of corn and eat
it to satisfy his hunger, and many
times has he crawled under the barn
or stable ard secured eggs, which he
would roast in the fire and eat,
THAT boy did not wear pants like
YOU do, but tow linen shirt. Schools
were unknown to him, and he learned
to spell fir ON an old Wcbster's spelling
book and to read and write from
posters ON cellar and barn doors, while
boys and men would help him. He
would then preach and speak, and
soon became we'll known. lie became
presidential elector, United States
marshal, United States recorder,
United States diplomat, and accumu-
lated some wealth. lie wore broad
cloth and didn't have to divide crumbs
with the dogs under the table, That
boy was Frederick Douglass.
What was possible for me is pos.
sible for you. Don't think because
you are colored you can't accomplish
anything Strive earnestly to add tc
your knowledge. So long as you re-
main in ignorance so long will you fail
to command the respect of your fellow
men"
Who could add anything to that
which would not spoil it?-Kate Fields
Washington.

Immense Bows, Flowers and Feathers

The hats, bonnets and toques for the
fall are so different from those that

the important features In addition

with the fancy feathers Many are
taken from the larger birds, like the

Some of the bonnets have a close

y Hannah knew ne had heard OF his
wifes death, and Of the destruction of
the house, but no one had told him of
The defcction OF his daughter, and she
was seeking with hustle and chatter To
put off the evil moment when the ill-
tidings must be told.
Col. Henson made no reply, but
looked through the window at the va
cant spot where his home once stood,
and az the grave just beyond the box
borders OF the garden, showing ared-
dish yellow in the last rays OF the set
ting sun. s. 9&,f ae=8 e|,sr.5Es ra#3 9a.: ..s a
Hisface, though sad, was not hope
less, for despite the issues Of the war
and the desolation surrounding him, he
was expecting each moment 10 hear his
daughters voice and 30 feel her arms
around his neck. He had been alone
in his sorrow so long Why did she not
come? AT last he turned to Hannah
and said: where is Mary2"
'0h, marster. who is to tell you bout
datpc can't, !" and throwing her apron
over her head she rocked TO and fro,
shaking with sobs.
Speak, woman" said the colonel,
sternly; sis she dead?'
= Hannah uncovered her face and
looked at him. When he looked and
talked like that she knew she must
obey.
"She is married, en- when she heard
you wus in prison she en- her husband
say dey gwine get yer out"
Married? And to whom"
"fer dat capting whar cum long
here wild Gineral Sherman. He took
keer oh her en- ole miss when de house
wus burnt, en- though she hated a
Yankee like pizeu, love is stronger
dan hate, en- she loved him"
Col Henson said nothing, but he
looked like man who had received
his death blow.
Hannah knelt at his feet, pouring
loyalty and affection, and from
stocking she had taken from her pocls-
ct two hundred dollars in gold. She
begged him to take the money; she
had made it in various ways, and saved
it for him. And then she added:
Use gwine ter stay wild yer, mars
ter; case OATS what promised ole miss
when she wus on her dyin' bed, wild
one ham in my han en- de oder in Miss
Mary's. But she looked at me last, en-
she say in whisper: You'll stay wild
dem, Hannah?' en- answered: Fore
God, / will, while dere's BRET in my
body en- ain goin' back on a promus
ter be daid, not if know it,
As she rose to her feet Col. Henson
said: Keep the money for yourself,
Hannah" and with an imperious wave
of his hand: Never let me hear my
daughters name again"
And that was all he would say.
Hannah cooked for him, saw that he
slept omfortably, and tried in many
ways to arouse his old-time interest in
the farm. 1t was all in vain. A men
tai paralysis seemed to have settled
down upon him that nothing could
dispel.
"He jes' lax dade man walltin',"
Hannah said to her husband. He's
got look on his face lax he wus see
in through eternity. He nebher say
nuthin', he go erlong cherry mawnin'
