HOW TWO GIRLS MADE MONEY
ATTESTE:
J. w. Coles,
General Secretary.

GA country girl who is determined
to go to Paris to study art IS laying
aside, for this purpose, each dollar she
has earned" writes Ruth Ashmore in
an article on The Girl in the
Country" in the January Ladies
Home Journal. "She found that there
was no one else in the village who
could make as good bread and biscuit
as She; that those who had TO buy
complained of the bakers bread. She
make no effort at sending her bread to
a Woman's Exchange, as she knew
that such places were always over
stocked, but she went through her own
town-a very small one-and asked for
orders. Size is making money be-
cause there has never been a sad Loaf
of bread or a heavy biscuit sent out
from her kitchen. She will supply a
neighbor with hot biscuits at tea time,
and she has learned to make dainty
rusk, especially for invalids, who enjoy
these light, sweet dainties. Her prices
are reasonable.
"Another girl, ambitious to gain
something, got her father to let hei
have bit OF ground, and to give her
the money that he would otherwise
have bestowed upon her for wedding
dress. With this she was able to buy
/ plants and to hire boy to help her
and during the summer, while the
boarding-houses around demanded
them, she serv d the freshest of rad
ishes, the crispest of lettuce, the earl
lest corn and the largest tomatoes
and she says now that she thinks sh
will double the size of her garden mex
summer"

EMANCIPATION DAY.
Written for THE BEE by Samuel Adams Wig


Come sing a song of land and sea,
Come sing, the angel said 10 me,
A song of peace and liberty,
Of the flag that made us free.
Sing sweetly of the Union great,
The stars that shine for every State,
Sing with thy spirit all elate
OF the flag that made us free.
Sing with thy heart psalm of love,
A strain of gladness from above,
Sing like the cooling of dove,
Twas the flag that made us free.
Strike tender golden harp notes clear
No note of pain or sorrow here,
Let smiles upon thy face appear,
IT'S the flag that made us free.
Sing of the Union of all hands;
Sing of the ties of brothers bands,
Sing of Columbia as she stands,
OF the flag that made us free.
Sing with thy comrades hand in thine
The song of liberty divine,
A song in the night, when bright star
shine,
OF the flag that made us free.
I've sung the angels song for thee,
The "Gloria," brother, of liberty,
Well sing one song thro' eternity,
Gods love that made us free.

The politicians are still in town
looking for Office. The Louisiana (
contingent is here, and expect some. !
thing to drop soon. |
Mississippi is still waiting, and
oefor- long the boys will be told to
get together, as the Post predicted |
the other morning. All that glitters
is not gold.
The Langston boom for District
Commits ioner must have fallen
asleep. Prof. Langston is fine
gentleman, and would, no doubt
make good Commissioner. Is it
now about time for some of these
politicians to retire and allow others
to have a show? Prof. Langston is
not resident of the District, so the
boys remarked few days ago.
The Recorder of Deeds received a
fright few days ago Col. NJ. M.
Holland, it had been reported,
had been appointed Recorder of
Deeds. Col. Taylor got too nervous
to hold a pencil. He might as weh
send in his resignation. AS sure
as one and one make two he will be
removed.
The colored democrats who were
so active in having colored men re-
moved will be paid back in their
own medicine. Innocent colored
republicans were removed 10 make
room for Negro democrats. There
was Systematic method adopted,
and indeed, the poor colored re-
publican was in the soup-so to
speak. They were taxed, and some
of them were compelled to pay over
to some of these so-called Negro
democratic bogus organizations,
: their money. 1t was The BEE that
put stop to it, for which republi-
