NcRlO Stories.

A correspondent OF q Chicago neWe,
paper In the South has been making
u study Of the stories which tho negro
people tell, and insists that the current
stories attributed to them are changed
and embcllished by white men, to suit
the white mans Idea Of what story
should be. Tho real negro story, this
writer says, generally has no come
out" at all. and tho negro mind IL just
as well suited with It In that shape al
In any other. As an example. no re.
peats story told him by colOred man
about a haunted house.
An old cabin had long been uninhab.
tied because It was said to have q
"ha'Et." Finally white man offered
nfty dollars TO any negro who would
60 and live In It and prove that It was
not haunted.
A certain "Old Eph." who did not
care for "ha'nts," accepted the chal.
lengc, and taking his pipe and a jug.
went to the place, built big fire In the
fireplace, sat before It, lit his pipe and
drank from his jug, and about mid
night fell asleep.
Soon afterward he awoke. The fire

Protection Against snorers.

Now New Jersey justice has passed
Judgment on man who was charged
with disturbing the nelghb0rhoOd with
his snoring, which the prosecution
likened unto the noise from a boiler
factory In full operation. The justice
advised the man with the wonderful
snoring power to move or readjust his
brea thing apparatus. 1t was claimed by
the nelghbors that he could be heard
snoring a square or more away. An
individual with such lungs would
doubtless make good cOrnet player.

Been with the Zuiu Tribe.
For us the curtain rises upon the
Kafir people when the Dutch settlers,
spreading slowly eastward from the
peighborhOOd of the Cape, came Into
contact, and presently into conflict,
with them. HOstilites first broke out In
1910, and In the century that followed
there ore rcckOned no fewer than nine
Kafr wars. The natives fought with
. flerceness compa rablc to that Of Norsh
American Indians; and though less
ekilled In the arts Of ambush ana sur
prise, they were not less swift In their
movements, or less fearless In meeting
death. Had the policy Of the colonial
government been flrmer and more con-
sistcnt, much fighting and suffering
might have been saved; yet some Of its
errors were Nue to desire to deal
gently with the natives. and to stop an
advance of conquest which we now per-
ceive was inevitable. The worst blum

/ The report that the Spanish troops
had captured his camp was true, but
it was the place where the insurgents
were awaiting favorable opportunity
to cross the trocha and after Macee
had broken camp.
General Munez, of the Spanish army
with 10000 men, made an attack OF
Antonio Maceo on the hill known al
Cacarajicaras. Maceo, in the mean
time, retreated by the rear of hi
camp with his forces and attacked tbs

trocha.

them to leave, saying that they should
all perish together Maceo then bonn
barded the town and passed through
