intend to let the matter drop, but will
enter a suit for damages, in the dis
trict court and make fight to a fin
ish, as he has done on several Occa-
sions before. It is a matter of prin-
ciple with Mr.. Hazel and he has al
ready spent several hundreds of dol
lars fighting for it in st. Paul. He
seems to be the only martyr who is
willing to make a fight in which every
Afro American in Minnesota is directly
interested, and it seems strange that
the people do not do something toward
holding up his hands. Ifaahe. ,wins~he
does not win for himself alone, but
for all; if he loses we all lose together.
Cannot some organized plan he perfect
ed to defray the expense to making
the fight. 1t is not right for us to
sit supinely down and let Mr.. Hazel
or any other man make such a fight
for us. The Appeal stands ready as it
always has done, to pay its proper
tionate share. Their need not be any
blowing of trumpets or mass meetings,
but few determined spirits might get
together and quietly yet effectively
mango the matter and procure the
sinews of war; Let us hear from those
who feel any interest in such matters.

Sydney Smith was very happy in bis
country life, and his children caught
his spirit Of delight over common
things. They loved animals and spent
long hours In training them. One little
beast, baby donkey, became under
their tuition perhaps the most accom-
plished Of his species and unconscious
ly gave rise to . quatrain which now
belongs to the fame of Sydney Smith.
The donkey was well educated chap
He would walk up stairs, follow the
family in their rambles like a dog and
when they entered his meadow run Ia
meet them with ears down and tail
erect, braying joyously.
One day, when Billy's head was
crowned with flowers and he was being
trained with handkerchief for bride,
Mr.. Jeffrey unexpectedly arrived. He
joined in the sport and to the children q
infinite delight mounted Billy.
Thus he was proceeding in triumph
when Sydney Smith and his wife. with
three friends, returned FROM walk and
took in the festal scene The great man
advanced, with extended hands, and
greeted his old friend in an impromptu
which has become familiar 70 the read
