Duty is the natural result OF

him toward action; by his will he

It is the dnty, and very mani

to keep in touch with his fellow
men. What right haye we to
"hide onr light under bushel, T"
or in every day parIance to draw

The world does not owe us a
living, but we owe humanity the

you, with your influence, might

looked for it and did not find it.
1t is as clear for every man as the
sunlight that smites him in his

THE S0UTHS SEA VERY

In as much as Uncle Sam ha
such splendid success in his cam
paign for freedom it would per
haps be another feather in his car
il he would now turn his attention
to the slavery of his subjects in
his own bounds. Right here IN
old Arkansas there are hundreds
and thousands of both white and
black slaves who are in worse
condition than the negro slaves OF
q few years ago. These people
who are thus suffering under the
yoke of bondage are composed OF
II armers who year in and year
,ortgage to the merchant ev-
ng he has in this world or
sxpeets to have. These farmers
ask the merchant in the early part
Of the year to furnish them sup
plies to make their crop with.
The merchant agrees to do this
but before he does, requires the
farmer to give him one OF those
s'catch all, now and forever and
hereafter mortgages" OF course
the amount Of supplies to be furn-
ished by the merchant are neces-
sarlly limited generally i'll aver
age cases the amount is about 500.
On this small amount the mortgag-
ing farmer and his large family
ninst live thro' the entire y ear (;
must be fed and clothed out OF
this pittanee for It's well known
fact these farmers never raise any
thing else to sell but cotton and
hence have absolutely no other re-
lance for a living but the $50 that
the merchant has agreed to furn-
ish them. They naturally enough
require more than this amount,
but after having taken it up the
furnishing merchant tells them

and prosperous in the carriages, the middle class gaping on the sidewalks, and underneath the horses feet gather ing up the flowers that fell between the carriages, shrieking, grabbing at your purses, snatching the flowers from your baskets, was the rabble, the detestable French rabble that no one who has not seen it can ever compre- bend. Beside it an American rabble is fit for the Queens drawing g-room. In an American crowd you tremble lest you lose your purse, but hera it is lest your eyes be scratched and your hair be pulled. The Parisian rabble is some thing to be feared as wild beasts are feared.
 At present In spite of assertions to the contrary there is a decided feeling against the Americans. The we'll bred French people do not express them selves that way to Americans, but it is in the air. for the rabble has caught it. And it knows us unmistakably, this keen-scented rabble-it is not at all necessary tha+ il stars and stripes be painted upon one's brow. We experi- enced several evidences of this anti American spirit on the afternoon of the fete; 'tis true that the taunts came from under the horses hoofs ana yet the voice of the street is surely not a very uncertain straw to show the di- rection of French prejudice
 But one does not philoSophize for many continuous seconds at the fete the spirit of the thing is to forget, to abandon oneself to the entertainment of the hour. It is really an experience in ones life, this Parisian fete-it is re- ceiving a smile and flower from the

But in half an hour what a change! The spirit of the thing pervades ones veins like wine. One realizes that 1t is not the flowers, that it is not the arches nor the display that brings forth that dense PariSian crowd, but that the whole thing Is simply an excuse for an afternoon of mad, French abandon ment. A flower there is not thing to be looked at and loved and admired; it Is simply something to be torn to pieces or thrown in the face of the woman in scarlet who is quite as good as you on this occasion, madam, as good as you are
 The Frenchman says that tout le monde" attends the floral fetes, which Is truer translated than not. Verify all the world is there and all the Parisian world which comprises more than ours The rich and highly respectable matron donned her sWellest gown and did not disdain to compete for admiring glances with the nameless lady of the f1owery chariot-With her who wore a bouquet in the top of her satin boot and left it carefully exposed to view. And Cleo Mirode was there looking like a flower herself in a pale pink gown and a gor- geous headgear of La France roses She was very demure, this madonna like Cleo and quite properly chaperoned They made me think of Juliet and the nurse, she and her chaperon. Surely Cleo must eventually be like Juliet, a victim of love, for no other death would be at all fitting for one so rare. A wrinkle in her face would mean as great trageoy though hardly so ar tistic as the dagger of Romeo.

man or the woman whom you have never seen before and will never see again; 1t is once in your life when it is quite comme il faut to neglect the lit tie proprieties on which you have been reared. It is a grand frolic in which there is no choice but participation after one is there.
 I think this thing could not exist in any other place in the world, for it is most essentially Parisian-it is the spirit of Paris unfettered.
 Among the Americans whom I mo- ticed at the fete were Senator McAl- lister and wife and Mrs Woodward and daughter of San Francisco; also MT. and Mrs. William Hunt and Miss Helen Lindley of Sacramento.
 On Pentecost Sunday the students of the Latin quarter celebrated the Feast of Fools and the Ass, a revival of a medieval custom. Naturally the cele- bration was unique in the extreme The idea was to reproduce exactly the pro- cession of the fools and the ass as con- ducted in the fifteenth century. The procession, which consisted of the theo- logians, the woman on the ass, the prophets, the vagrants. etc, finally made a triumphant entry at the ker- messe which had been installed on the Place du Pantheon. Here was repro duced the drama of the Mystery of Adam" comprising the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise the death of Abel, and finally a procession of prophets predicting the coming of Christ. Numerous devils and angels made the thing complete.
