THE COLORED BROTHER.
Not n Good Tenant for the Southern
Landlord


Landlord
The typical negro tenant arrives at a
new home in mule wagon or OK cart
with bundle of rags, Il frying pan and
a covey of children, and he stays with n
landlord who may have saved him from
restitution by advancing provisions and
dry goods only so long as the caprice OF
the hour dictates. says Lippincott's.
Land owners who have sunk into finan
cial ruin by mortgaging their property
have nearly always been dragged into
the slough by the effort to help their
negroes out of it. The crop made by the
average negro farmer is subject to many
contingencies besides those of the
weather. He does not hesitate to leave
his field at the most critical season if
pleasure calls him; big meetings" he
never can resist and these take place
during the important agricultural
months of July and August, first at one
church and then at another. After the
mules have been working hard all the
week in this busy season they are often
driven ten to fifteen miles on Sundays,
carrying wagonloads of men, women
and children, long bright ribbons fly
ing out from the heads of the female
members of the family, whose hair has
been tightly plated and bound with
cords during the week in order to pro-
duce holiday sensation in an ample
psyche-knot at the back and q bushel-
like roundness in front; they appear in
fancy waists and big sleeves and regale
themselves and their friends with a
dinner of fried chicken, cake and water
melons after the meeting, rags being
good enough to wear. hoe cake and
bacon good enough to eat during the
week. Like his African ancestors, the
American negro is miserable without
publications. and feastings; if he can
have them he will do hard job of work
between times.

quence in Washington are wearing
their hair cropped, curled and held al
either side of the parting by tiny
combs. This is because Mrs. Nc.
Kinley, as the first lady in the land,
wears her hair that way, and, OF
course, should be copied The curls
have come to be known as "Adminis-
tration curls." AT the various sum-
mer resorts these danes from the
capital were gazed at in horror at first,
because the fashion is certainly unbe-
coming to almost every one, but when
the ''why and wherefore" was learned
maids and matrons rushed to their
rooms, combed out their Merode curls
and cut them off. Now the Mckinley
curls have made their appearance from
Maine to the Rio Grande and from
Key West to Klondike, and will doubt
less hold their own unit the arrival OF
some new social or theatrical star.
Why women should change the
fashion of wearing their hair is incom-
prehensible, because to every face
some one style is absolutely suited
and all other modes are more or less
unbecoming. But let a professional
beauty or French music hall dancer
adopt some curious and wonderful
method of arranging her hair and
women the world over will make this
method "the fashion" 1t is many
years since Mrs. Langtry started the
fashion of chopping off ali the hair on
the top of the head, curling the short
ends into little rings and waves and
producing what was known as a
"bang." The much-abused tresses
have had time to grow long, and now
women are looking out at the world
from behind straight bands of hair
drawn down over the ears, because

dancer and favorite of king, has set

street-car to pretty girl, and then
goes home and chicks" because dinner
is not ready, is not gallant. With new
ways of living for both men and wo-
men, gallantry must take new forms,
adapting itself to conditions, but it
will ever exist in the hearts and be
shown in the actions Of generous men
and noble women.
A homely bit of gallantry was enacted
in this city few days ago by a driver
of an ordinary, everyday watering
cart. A woman had fall from her
bicycle, just in front of the street.
sprinkler, and although not at all
hurt, her hands were considerably the
worse for contact with the dirt of the
road. The driver watched her from
his high seat, and then called out
cheerily: "Want to wash yer hands,
miss?" She admitted that it would
be desirable thing, so the man turned
on a small stream from his cart and
held his horses still while the woman
washed her dirt-covered hands. Then,
acknowledging her "Thank you" with
a smile and bow, he drove on, and
the woman resumed her ride. The
drivers action was as true gallantry
as ever knight performed in olden
