Letters Should Reflect Writers.

It is a gift to be like yourself in
your letters. Some people write as if
they We're talking, and their letters
are always welcome to their friends
because If their strong individuality.
For this reason it is a disastrous mis-
take to cultivate a style" in letter
writing. Your letter should be a true
likeness Of your own mind. even if
YOU have to make il brief. The gen
uine truth Of your few lines will carry
a message Of reality to whomever
they are sent.
Never write letters in anger: this is
always a mistake. You may have
righteous cause for anger. but do not
write until the blaze has cooled ana
your temper has recovered its normal
serenity. 1t is quite bad enough to say
angry words: they may be forgotten or
fan upon unneeding ears. Written
words last.-Wuman's Home Com

expansion was right or wrong, there can be
no question about disintegration. The United
States has never given up any territory, and

Negroes in the Saddle.

The action of the negroes last week in TAX.
ing charge of the State Convention Is a nota-
BILE event. Many people may think that II
the negroes had proper respect for themselves
they would have taken this action long ago.
In the South the problem is a race issue, and
will be as long as the negroes attempt to fill
the offices. II the negroes organize and give
the offices to white men who go against their
own race, they have cheated themselves by
giving to their natural enemies the honors
and emoluments to which they are themselves
entitled.
1t is said that only 10000 negroes in Il is
State are registered. If they neglect or refuse
to register. why should they combine to enay lie
white men to worry and annoy their neigh.
bors.
The negroes have acted wisely in taking
charge OF their own affairs. They made q
mistake In putting any white men forward
and over men Of their own race.
