the wrong place. "sThere are mo-
ments when we want to be alone
this was one of Them" After we
had stared at the blushing maid
en- for about a moment she said:
care you going to stand there
like an idiot and not try to help
ne?"
We asked her to let US call in
some help from the street, but
she said:
"You must be crazy, Do you
think I want the whole town to
see me in this predicament?"
We managed 10 get her loose
from the chair after a while and
we both stood up, face to face.
We felt sorter like we did the
first time we attempted to say
"Iwinkle twinkle little star" at
a school breaking up. She broke
the silence, which was getting
to be awkward, by saying:
WELL, I came around here for a
charitable purpose, I read in the
ARGUS yesterday where the Ram
bier was sleeping these cold
nights in a room where there
we're big cracks in the floor and
pieces of Notwithstanding miss
ing from the side of the house.
The house we had built for Fldo
last summer is warm and COM
Portable when the door is shat.
Poor Fido died with Pneumonia
during that big snow just
after Christmas, and I thought
I would let the Rambler bring
his pile of wheat straw and sleep
in FIdo's house, but after having
been treated as I have by you
the ardor Of my good resolution
has melted under the fire of my
wrath and l shall not ask you to
come. So, good bye, MI. RAM
bier"
And she swept out Of the Office
ga thing of beauty" even in her
wrath, but Joy came with her
going.
Some time ago the Rambler
had occasion to write the obit-
uary notice of his Tom cat. At
that time our heart was SO heavily
wrupg with grief that we could
not tell the full story of the sad
ending of his Young life. Just
before his death he had to walk
twice in the same place to make
a shadow. There were no moro
rats for him to eat the neighbors
had nailed up thoir cat holes aud
he could not live on wind and
water, which was all he got for
several days before his death.
With a prophetic eye we lift
the veil from the future, and we
see, as it we're, a similar fate be-
fall a gentlemanly looking ''yal-
Ter" cat which hangs around the
ARGUS Office. His fame has been
told in song and story and We
shall not attempt to eulogize now
in his behalf, for he is no less
a quadruped than the Scat thai
came back" Like the Spanish
soldiers at Santiago he has al
ready been placed or half ratlons,
and the end is not yet. His once
fine physique has decreased at
such rapid rate as to leave his
regal proves on Walnut street
for the historian to chronicle. No
more does he dare to stalk abroad
during the lonely hours Of dark
ness, seeking combat with mid
night marauders. This forced re-
lease of power and prestige is
pitiable to behold. He is the per-
sonal property of the ARGUS
"Ad Man." whose time and emol-
uments are so much taken up with
matrimonial negotiations as to
cause the cat to be sadly neg
lected.

A subscriber who owes three
years subscription for his paper
recently wrote to the Rambler,
expressing his pleasure at reading
the "witty" writings which were
published in this column. We
have no doubt the old hermit has
good intentions, in everything
except paying his subscription,
but we are somewhat inclined to
the belief that he is much mis-
taken about the "wit," and we
believe the few friends we have
will agree with us. He is the first
man who ever accused us of being
witty and we deny the accusation,
and if further proof is needed we

Sykesville, Va, May IS, 1900.
Editor Virginian-Pi
Mr.. Editor: Republican Representa-
tive Richard y. Wise, of williamsburg,
Va, has introduced n bill in Congress
calling FOR the establishment ,of negro
industrial schools in the Southern
States. The plan is for the government
TO give Sl50,0G0 toward that object to
every State that will show it's appre-
citation by contributing $4,000 to the
same end. AS the negroes perhaps
elected Mr. Wise he wants 10 recpro-
cate; put he is making Il mistake. The
country wants no more pretended In
duStrial education for the negro. The
industrial schools are turning out the
same moecile negroes as the other
schools.
Every Southern farm is an industrial
scnool. On these farms negroes of all
ages and sexes are constantly wanted.
and they can there learn from practical
experience all that may make them use
iul factors in their country's develop
ment. The last Legislature of Mary
land saw two bills for negro schools In
troduced, and both We're killed, as the
people saw that 1t was folly to talk
about training race to industry in
schools with city and country homes
alike suffering for help. ana the pros
pect being that all the graduates of
negro schools would fight still shier of
work. The confession has been made
that Hampton graduated only one pupil
in agriculture last year. and President
Trizzell recently told Boston audience
that $4,000 per year was necessary To
run his school.
If the government and the States
want anything to do in the line of
furthcring negro Industrial development
they should take the called for 100000
and put it in n large farm whereon all
negroes could be trained to practical
farm and homework with no prcfcs-
sors and teaching about Ii. This plan
has already been proposed for the idle
whites of the North and West, and
seeks to restore to the soil the thou
sands that education has reduced from
IT. The white problem and the negro
problem ire the same. Both have been
caused by education and both must be
solved by work.
II Mr.. Wisc's bill had this object In
view it would he we'll and good but his
present bin is only n stimulus to that
much moro revolution. Let sensible
Representatives vote 1t down.

suggestion that there is danger. to be

fear suggested Ia that the food riay
wash abroad germs OF the plague. 10
that they might be communicated to
children ant others padding .hrough
,ue muck and mire produced by the
fugitive stream. From the same
source comes the opinion that the pre-
caution, said to be taken In Oriental
towns, OF guarding against the escape
OF rats and other vermin from burning
buildings, should be adopted here
that is, the placing Of corrugated iron
fence around each doomed structure
before the match Is applied.
