or rather into which. Lillian walked
one summer morning. On her way to
school she had to pass the house Of
two very dear old ladies, who lived
by themselves, and pottered about in
q very pretty old-fashioned garden.
Miss Betsey. and Miss Annie were fond
of the bright girls who two or three
times a day walked pas, their door on
the way to and from their class
rooms, and they had their favorites
among them, often stopping LILY. for
instance, and giving her a flower or
two to fasten into her buttonhole.
One morning Lily observed that

A. NEGRO POET.
The First in the History of This or
Any Other Country.

At last the negro race has a poet
to sing its songs and speak for it,
for the first time in the history of
this or any other country. For
several years poems bearing the
name of Paul Lawrence Dunbar
have been appearing in the leading
magazines, but they bore on the
surface no racial mark; and the fact
that some of them were in the negro
dialect counted for nothing, since
many white writer's have attempted
that, although with less success.
Some weeks ago a little, unpreten-
tious volume of verse drifted out ,of
the west. 1t was dateless, place
less and without publisher. Acct
dentally it reached an eastern
litterateur of some note, who can
appreciate good work, no matter
from whence it comes, Thus the
young Afro-American poet has been
introduced to the larger audience
which the Importance OF his work
deserved. ~.ur '...t
Only then did it become generally
known that the author was black,
that his parents were slaves who
learned to read after they were free,
and that he himself had stood
shoulder to shoulder with the heavi-
est laden of his race. He was edu-
Gated in the public schools of his
birthplace, Dayton, O., and was I'M
til recently an elevator boy.
AS these facts came out the sig
nifcance of Mr.. Dunbar's poetry
stood revealed, and it was recognized
not only for its intrinsic worth, for
its lyrical beauty and metrical
quality, which are quite enough to
lift it into prominence, but as the
first authoritative utterance of the
inner life of q race which had hither-
to been dumb. The little book thus
voicing what had never been before
spoken was privately. printed and
called Majors and Minors" the ma
jors being in English and the minors
in dialect, sometimes the dialect of
the middle south negroes and some
times Of the middle south whites, and
in the case of the negro dialect re-
produced with a perfection that no
white writer has attained.

The Result of Six Years indian
Campaigning in the West
A review Of Maj. Gen. Nelson A.

of six years of Indian campaigning

period the general says: ~.

This vast country, over which in

the operations of the United States
army ifesd for all time from the
