Colonel" said the romantic girl,
relates the Chicago Chronicle, ''tell
me how you got that scar on your left
cheek. Oh, just know it must be
a thrilling story. Was 1t made by a
bullet or q saber thrust? I prefer a
saber thurst. It seems so much more
like the knighthood of old. You
can't see bullet coming, and there
is no way to escape it or combat it.
But when your enemy PUSHES at you
with his uplifted saber there is the
possibility of parrying his blow and
cutting him down. That seems much
more manly, even If the victor in the
fray does receive q wound or two,

MRS. JOSEPHINE RUFFIN.


Josephine st. Pierre Rufin, whose ap-
plication for membership was rejected
by the board Of the General Fedora
ton OF Women at it's recent convention
in Milwaukee, is one of the most nota-
BILE colored women in the country. For
many years she has been q conspicu-
GUS figure in the life and public move
ments of the people in the city Of Bos-
ton She is q native of the American
Athens, and is close to IS years old.
The st. Pierres have been, well-to-do
colored people in Massachusetts, for
nearly 200 years, the original stock
coming from Martinique, in the French
West Indies. Mrs. Ruf6n was reared
in q home Of refinement, culture and
comparative luxury. Her education
was received in the best schools of Bos-
ton; her social intercourse has been
with the gentlest and most thoroughly
genuine of both races who make the
Hub of American culture their abid-
ing place. Beacon Hill regards her as
one of the city's remarkable women,
and there is scarcely q public move
ment' started among women that Jo-
sepbine Rufan is not consulted and
made chief spirit in the project. She
is the mother of the club movement
among the colored women of the coun-
try, the National Association of Colored
Women being the direct outcome of her
zeal and individual effort. She is ag-
gressive, resourceful, farsighted and
possessed of a gift Of tact. 1t is said
that she went to the Milwaukee conven-
ton with a distinct notion of placine
the colored women in q new light be-
fore the people of the country. 1t lisa
fact that the more prominent colored
women in the various sections of. the
land did not think the game worth the
candle, and attempted to dissuade her
from the course she had decided to pur.
sue. They argued that the General
Federation Of Women offered no special

PLATFORM BASIS

The Democratic and Republican !
nominations represent all that is in
tended to be represented by the pail
ties making them. On the one hand,
Mckinley represents the money power
of the country, and the tremendous
prosperity enjoyed by a few, and I'M
shared by the rest. He is an ideal,
Beau Brummel candidate of that
party, which believes that the people
cannot be trusted in the control of
government, and which believes in
strong government, and the control of
the people with an iron hand. In
short, it is party which believes
that the employer has not only the
right to dictate what the employed
shall do during his hours of labor,
but also what he shall or shall not do
during the rest OF the time. On the
other hand Bryan represents probably
in greater degree than any other liv-
ing American a Republican form of
government, and the inalienable right
Of man to enjoy his liberty, property
and the pursuit of happiness, with as
little interference and control on the
part Of government as is consistent
with the safety OF the Republic. The
Democratic platform sounds the key
note of warning to the country that
the American Republic is in danger.
and it looks that way. Another Re-
publican Congress will not fail to
tasten all army Of 100 900 on the
