Relationship Denied,

"There is such a difference in the
colored people in the north and in the
SOUTH" said a southern woman. II
am often reminded of an incident
which occurred down in Tennessee
shortly after the war. The former
slaves were just beginning to realize
that they were free, and that the new
order of things placed them legally on
a level with their old owners.
Il was visiting in Nashville. One
day | was going about alone. Not be-
ing familiar with the city, had some
difficulty in finding my way to the
house l wished to reach. Seeing an old
colored nanny standing on the cor
ner l went over to her.
''She was type of her class-large
and complacent. She wore an old cal
leo dress and had turban on her
head.
Auntie,' l said, can you tell me
the quickest way to get to B. street p
"She drew herself up and looked at
me haughtily for full half-minute be-
fore she uttered a word.
81 wondered what | could have done
to offend her. Presently she let me
know, in very cutting tones.
81 amt yo aunty, she announced.
L amt yo' uncle. Use yo' ekal.'"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Marriage may not be failure, but a
good many married people are.
The more trust a good woman puts
in a man the more she will generally
find in him to trust
Lots of men would be considered
braver if they didn't have sense enough
to get scared
1t Is a good thing for man to be dis
satisfied with himself in everything but
his marriage
If the women get to working in
Christian Science on love affairs there
won't be any hope for the men.
Women are better than men are. Men
very seldom love their enemies, but
women most always kiss them.
If the average man were as brave
and handsome as his wife believes he
is, he would probably have married
some other-better 'looking-woman.
You can always tell from the out
side OF house which is the spare bed
room by the way the window curtains
are fixed up.
The mission-school habit is probably
the strongest while it lasts, but the
sachet habit makes a girls family a
lot more uncomfortable
A woman has to have lot more pa
thence to let the cat in and out than she
has for her husband, because if she
didn't it would leave her.

then gather the material together at
the center of the bottom and attach it
with large button, sewed fast to the
cardboard bottom. Around the lower
part of the bag design made up of
large and small buttons of various COL
ors can be worked out, and with Asiatic
dyed rope or Roman floss silk a few
long and short stitches can be taken
above and below the large buttons to
add to the appearance of the design.
Three small bags of this description

the responsibility OF asserting that
there is not now and never has been a
law on the statute books of the State
containing such provision as that
mentioned. This being the case. it Is

This will not de-, nor would such Il

pie of each community in the South

protection, and will resort To any
measures, however drastic or appar-

there can be no fixed rule established

South that will give either immunity
from the plague or afford satisfaction

what would answer for one would be

ROBERT MANrELL TONIGHT.

Lovers of history and the historical
drama viii have a rare treat tonight
and tomorrow in the appearance OF
Robert Mantell in his latest and most
interesting play, by w. A. Tremayne,
entitled "A Secret Warrant" The scene
of the play is laid in France in 172O,
when that kingdom was under the rule
Of the Duke of Orleans as regent. A
young and noble French officer incurs
the royal displeasure through no mis-
conduct of his own, and is pursued by
a letter de cachet condemning him to
the Bastile. BY means of a ready wit
and strong ann he eludes the ennis
saries Of the regent and in the end tri-
umphs over all his enemies.
The piece is beautifully mounted by
Manager M. W. Hanley, and the pic
turesque costumes of that period are
given with strict historical accuracy
Mr., Mantell regards his part of Louis
de Beaumont as the best in his career,
In which opinion those who have seen
his performance heartily coincide.
