Jack, he thanked the Giant very much
for sparng his life, and promised that
he never, never would again do that or
disobey him
The next morning the Giant and Jack
up early, and told him he was going off
this day and fight the Giants of the
other end of the world, and gave Jack
his directions and warned him just like
the other days; then he went into the
stable before he went away, and when he
was gone. Jack went through all the

A pretty little incident marked the
arrival of Queen Victoria at London
on the occasion of her recent visit to
the capital city, just after the turn OF
the war tide in South Africa. After
the royal train came to a standstill
there followed the inevitable delay
pending the completion of the prepa-
rations by which the Queen was pro.
vided with an inclined platform to
make it easier for her to walk from
her saloon to the carriage in waiting.
1t was during this interval that the
aged sovereign caught sight of the
station dog "Tim," who was running
about the trainshed.
He was gayly beribboned for the
occasion, and by means of a cup I'M
der his chin was diligently collect
ing'' from the crowd contributions for
the fund to assist the widows and
orphans of the Great Western en-
ployes. The Queen asked his mis-
sion, and, upon being informed of it,
caused him to be brought to the
saloon of the train and thereupon
dropped a sovereign in the collection
box attached to his collar. -Philadel-

AFTER THE WARS ARE OVER.

When the wars that are raging are ended
And they stack the red rifles away,
when they hang up the flags and the
sabres
And tue war steed shall peacefully neigh;
When the bird builds her nest in the can
non,
When the sword shall be dropped for the
pen,
When they that are shouting and slashng
Shall all be as brothers again
When peace, having peeped from the cell
lar,
Comes forth in her garments OF white,
Serene in the hope that Gods people
Have at last got affairs settled right,
Some one who is swayed by ambition
VIE start a contention somewhere,
And "honor" and "pride" will be Haunted
And flags will be flung il the air;
And thousands devoid OF grievance
will leap into uniforms then,
And, thrilled by the strains OF war music,
Wen start it all over again.

But the sensation of the day is about
the negro. Like Banquo's ghost, he
will not down. DR.. Lilly, the able
secretary of the Stillman Institute
for Negroes, at Tuscaloosa, reports to
the Presbyterian general assembly
that no progress has been made in col
ored evangelization, and that indus
trial training is failure, and out Of
1,243 negroes educated to mechanical
pursuits, only three are following the
trades they have learned. He declares
that agriculture is the only calling
open to the negro and the only one
that will keep him out of the cities
and out Of crime and the changing.
These are the results at Stillman's
and Booker Washington's schools.
We are glad to find one preacher who
has got good hard sense concerning
the negro and dares to speak it. OF
course, we can't stop Booker Wash
ington from teaching, nor the north
from giving him money, but we can
stop the Presbyterian church from
wasting our money on the negro.
There are 1000 in the prisons and
chaingangs of Georgia now, to say
nothing of those we have lynched, and
most of them have been educated.
Let them get to farming. That suits
his nature better and will keep him
out Of crime.
But the biggest sensation is the SER
mon of Rev. Henry Frank, of the New
York Metropolitan church, preached
last Sunday, in which he declared that
giving freedom to the negro has
proved disastrous failure. That he
is rapidly lapsing into barbarism and
will soon become extinct. He speaks
of him as a brutal beast, more danger
Gus in a community than wild bull.
He advises that a territory be set
apart for them and there they must go
again into slavery and choose their
masters, and in the meantime the
franchise be taken from them.
That out-Herods Herod. don't
know what to make of it, and l
am afraid of anything that comes from
a yankee preacher. I haven't forgot
tea Henry Ward Beecher yet. Maybe
those people would like to own them
again and work them in more con-
genial cline than New England, and
they would go to making cotton and
take our laborers from our farms and
coal fields and iron mines. We will
have to watch them fellows, for they
are always up to some devilment.-

Mr.. J. D. Whelpley gives some in
teresting details in Harper's Weekly
as to what has been done by US in
Cuba in the way OF providing educa-
ton for the people. He says: 'In
three months the American plan has
raised the attendance from 1000 to
about 80, 900; there are nearly 1000
teachers. No teacher is allowed to
have more than so pnpils. In the
cities boys and girls will be taught in
separate rooms, and in the country
they will be taught together. All the
teachers are> Cubans, about one-third
of those in the cities being teachers
with some experience. English is q
part of the course OF study, and the
Cubans have requested that it should
be. The school budget for 1900
amounts to about 81, 100000. The
salaries of school teachers in Cuba are
very high as compared with those paid
in other countries. Mr.. Frye says
they are the highest in the world, and
yet there has been some complaint
from the Cubans to the effect that the
salaries were too low, and this in the
face of the fact that before the new
order OF things a school-teaoher in
Cuba was only able to make scanty
living. The lowest salary paid on
the island now is $500, and the lowest
in Havana is 5000, which is % per
cent more than is paid in the Is lsrg
est cities in the United States"

An Incident of the Guiteau Trial Recalled

A humorous incident of the Guiteau
trial was recalled when Catherine B.
Jones filed petition for the restraint
of her husband, an uncouth and
rather grotesque-looking farmer,
Familiarity known as "Bill Jones, the
Avenger," because while Guiteau was
being transported from the court
house to the Jail, one afternoon dur
ing his trial, Jones rode up on a clay
bank and fired several shots at the
iron walls of the vehicle with a view
of cheating the gallows of its victim.
"Bill Jones, the Avenger," as he calls
himself, was indicted for assault with
intent to kill, but was never tried,
and his notoriety was his ruin, foz
after that exciting incident he has
never been able to settle down to
work again, and recently has done all
sorts OF queer things, which caused
his wife to ask the court to lock him
up in the lunatic asylum, where he
will likely spend the remainder of his
