plan and build house? No.
What is his business, l inquired. 1t is
being smart There are too many
smart men in the world. A man once
sent his boy John to college. When he
came home he did not go to work. His
father waited thinking he would do
something after while. Still John did
not go to work. If he needed any money
he asked his father for it. Finally his
father consulted a friend, and said he
was in trouble about John. He had a
great education, but he didn't do any
work He said he looked different,
talked different and dressed different,
but he didn't do anything. The friend
went to John and asked him If he
hadn't studied chemistry. Oh, yes.
Then he asked him If he had applied his
knowledge to the farm. He said he
didn't know that he could. So he ex-
planned out to him how he could ana
lyze the soil and SO get the right fer
/, tilizer for it, and got John interested.
Then he said: "Have you studied
mathematical" ooh, yes" Had he APP
piled this to the farm? He didn't know
about this; so the man explained to him
how he could find out what paid and
what didn't. Then he asked him II he
had studied botany. Oh, yes. Had he
applied this to tine farm? He didn't
know as he could; so he explained how
he could study out the growth of plants.
John took the mans advice, and today
Is one Of the most prosperous farmers
of the south.

riding on a machine, planting corn. The
same machine turned the burrows,
dropped the corn and covered it two

an umbrella over him. / then came to
Georgia and saw a colored man blowing
with an old mule that went at the rate
Of about a half-mile an hour. First NE

harness broke, and then his gallows

best and cheapest corn? We must raise
as good corn, and afford to sell it as
cheap as the white man, If we would
compete with him. In other words, we
must put our brains to work in perform
ing labor. Poor Sam once whitewashed
the outside OF the house, then the in

of a job.
When I first started my school, the
poor white said: Drive that niger

my school. Now we are building a
chapel of brick we make ourselves, and
the wallis are being put up by our stu
dents. What is wanted is a practical
education. The world does not care
what we know, but what we can do. A
darSey once wanted a turkey. So he
prayed: ooh, Lord send this darkey a
turkey; 9th, Lord, send this darkey a
turkey" Finally it got along about
Christmas time, and then he began to
pray: Send this darkey to turkey
So that he looked about and got one.
That is what all have to do-go to the
turkey, and not wait for the turkey to
come to us.
Two toads one day fell into a pan of

'The Upstart," an original adapta-
ton of Moliere's lie Bourgeois Gentil-
homme," will probably be the play with
which the Dramatic Society of Holy
Cross College will entertain its many
Worcester friends this season. The
play has been under consideration for
the past four years, and the executive
committee of the Dramatic Society met
Saturday afternoon to consider the mat
ter, but the members would not def
initely announce their decision until the
meeting of the full society, which will
be held shortly. The adaptation puts
the five acts of the original play into
three, and it will undoubtedly be pre-
coded by curtain reiser. Both are
arranged for male characters only. The
time of The Upstart'' is the period of
Louis XIV, and if the play is given par
ticular attention will be paid to the
scenery, costuming and stage effects.
Much of the scenery and tine costumes
will have to be made after special de-
signs and Rev. c. c. Jones' s. j., the

but it has proved to be so much of a
convenience as is shown by the increase
in the amount of business done there,
that he has decided to keep it running
although it is done at the expense Of
the central office.
Clerks Michael ]. Moriarty and Mark
N. Skerrett have been detailed for tenn
porary duty at the Station A, but their
work will be so arranged that it will
tighten the burdens of the central office
a little. Heretofore the letters from
Station A have been received at the
central office in bulk, and they had to
be assorted like those taken from the
boxes. Now the letters will be assort-
ed at the station by the clerks and tied
up in bundles so that, instead of hand
ling individual letters as formerly, the
central Office clerks will have to handle
only bundles which can be easily thrown
into their appropriate pouches.

They Will Not Attend the National

Bishop McFaul, who acted as arbitra-

Ancient Order of Hibernians in this
country, has decided that the next an
nual convention of the national body
will be held at Trenton, N. j., June o.
Before the two sections had been united
by the bishop the American wing had
decided to hold its convention at Bos-
ton, while the Erin wing had decided
upon Brooklyn, N. Y, as the place for
its gathering. The action will interfere
some with the arrangements Of the
Worcester members Of the order, as
they were preparing TO go to Boston to
take part in the big parade inSthat city.

thing like the numbers they would go to
Boston. Very few outside Of the dele

They Demand Recognition Before

New York, April 6--The Caban
junta, through Consul Rubens, has
declared that Cubu's provisional
government and army would regret
the intervention of the United
States unless itshould be preceded
by recognition of the Cuban re-
public.
If the United States persisted in
Intervention without recognizing
it, the Cuban government and mil
itary forces would refuse to coop
crate and if the United States
should send armed forces to Cuba
without recognition, in the last re-
sort the Cubans would turn their
arms against the United States. 1t
They generally believe that in the
negotiations with Spain Cuba is
merely subordinated to the advan-
tages of the United States.

WILL NOT DIsBAND
Boys Brigade Ready to Fight
Spain and Will Drill as
Usual Tonight

The following appeared this
morning in our esteemed contem-
porary:
Editor Citizen Please allow us 10
inform the public through your paper
that Parson Graham has said that the
Boys Brigade would be disbanded on
Wednesday tomorrow evening. Mr..
harris and himself viii not be present
as they will be gone. Hence there will
not be G. A. Il. entertainment April o.
Pass this information along kind readers.
G. A. X, Entertainment Committee.
This information is false and the
Rev. Robert ID. Graham is iusti-
fiably incensed at the announce
ment.
So far from disbanding or en-
tertaining any idea of disbanding,
the Boys Brigade is in a flourish
ing condition and it viii drill to-
night as usual in McCandless hall.
A new company of the larger boys
will be organized and the lads are
full of enthusiasm and ready to
join in the national defence if
they get chance. Visitors are
invited to attend the drill tonight
and see for themselves the vigor
and smartness that has been in
stilled into these lads since Mr..
Graham brought about their or
ganization.
On second reading of the COM
munication above, it appears bare
ly possible that excessively bad
English rather than any desire to
libel the Boys Brigade may be re-
sponsible for the statement. The
assertion that Mr.. Harris and
himself will not be present as they
will be gone" is rich enough to
warrant the supposition that the
entire epistle may not mean what
it states and may possibly be the
production of an Anglophobiac
who murders English because he
is built that way.
DIR. Milton, who is chairman of
the Ct. A. r. entertainment COM
mittee, said this afternoon that he
had not written the communication
to the Citizen and knew nothing
whatever of it.
