views as to the bright side, she frsl
presented facts logically stated and

we're two sides to the 80. called race

not fail to see the strength and sound

work where she has sndeavored to and
largely succeeded IN bensfitt:ng the
race, particularly the women of the
race has justly won for her the high
esteem and good will of all who know
her. Her visit and address to the
students and friends Of the A. and NJ.
College ouiy served to increase her list
of admirers and the people who heard
her understand her great worth and
work as race leader and reformer.
In her audience were presidents and
professors of leading southern insti.
tutions, ,colored and white, professional
men aid women and some of the best
citizens Of the state besides few from
other states. The verdic, from one and
all was that she delivered a masterful
address and presented the cause of the
Negro in 3 manner to inspire him and
win for his cause new aud more earnest
friends.
She made fitting reference to the
good work which has been and is being
done in the South by the white friends
Of the Negro In providing schools and
furnishing employment for him. She
appealed to these friends to continue
this good work and .hus prepare the
Negro to be what he is capable of be.
iIgs useful, intelligent and helpful
citizen to the community in which he
lives. She urged the youths Of the race
enjoying the benefits thus vouehsa ed
through the aid and good will of the
whites to prove them worthy of these
fsvors both as students, making good
use Of their school opportunities and as
citizens by proving themselves the bet
ter and more useful for having enjoyed
such benefits.
Her appeal for fair play, equal op
postunity and unhampered exercise OF
every God given and constitutions
right tor the Negro which is or shall pe
vouchsafed to any other man under

was SO forceful and eloquent that she
seemed for she moment transfgured
and swallowed up with enthusiasm.

dress, logically foreeful in argumen
and diplomatic in presenting he
strong and sometimes cutting points
against those Of both races who under

THE LIFE OF
PETER THE GREAT
BY Special Correspondence,

Peter the Great lives in a quiet spot.
1ar from the city's noise. just under the
shadow of Blue Hill, Boston.
He has a box stall, covered with straw.
h he is not on the field or in the
sulky, he neighs and whinnies and rubs
mis- handsome head against the yellow
painted boards in delight al his own
magnifcence.
Fol Peter the Great is a stallion. a
horse, which will trot in a few months
for one of the largest of American sulky
stakes, $780, 600.
When l first saw Peter he was stand
ing his box stall at the end of a long.
low stable. He pricked his ears forward
and rubbed his neck against the door
and then he turned and quick as a flash
made a roundo of his stall and came back
to the square opening. His Whitney was
and won it easily, with Peter johnson,
was pure. the day was cool and Peter
had just been fed.
When Peter goes into training for the
racing season his work will be carefully
planned. Every morning at $50 he will
get his portion of grain, three quarts,
and his drink.
Then. blanketed. he will be led to the
open, and if there is good grass, allowed
to feed for a time, for racing men be-
lieve that there is nothing better than
good, fresh grass for a valuable horse.
The stallion was born about five years
g on the farm of D.. D.. Streeter, in
Kalamazoo. Mich. He is a son of Pilot
Medium. sire of many winners, inc is
out of Santos.
Early he showed fine form and was
first placed on the track as a three-year-
old, season before last. That veal he
was entered in the Kentucky Futurity
and won it easily, with Peter ohnson
an old-time driver. up. He got a record
of ZIP.
Last summer Peter was started as a
f~our-year-old. He was going in partic.

and the sweet taste they put in the
mouth, they have hygienic properties
that give them dental value. There are

tower, old Moot Hall cottage, drink
ing from the old we'll he used to draw
water from, and plucking flowers
from the cottage garden, we wendell
our way back to Bedford to view
other historic scenes.
We reached the end of the stone
bridge crossing the River Ouse
which connects the two parts of the
town. Here, being a very warm
day, and near noon, we turned aside
into shady nook behind the wall of
the bridge and sat down on the
seats provided by the town, under
spreading chestnut tree close by the
side of the Ouse. This is spot of
rich historic interest. On the old
bridge which was replaced by this
handsome structure was the old
Bedford jail. Here John Bunyan
says he laid him down in his "den",
and slept and dreamed that wonder
full dream of "Pilgrim's Progress,
from this world to that which is to
come. This river Ouse undoubtedly
gave him the picture of his pilgrims
crossing the river of death. And as
we sat to rest in that cosy and
beautiful corner under the shade of
the lovely trees by the side of the
Ouse, the recreation park on the one
side, and the charming promenade
view on the other side, with the
stately swans and the pleasure
boats on the river, we could picture
ourselves in "Buelah Land" waiting
awhile ere we crossed the river into
the city beyond.
Now after our delightful rest and
note taking, we decided to cross the
bridge and find a place where we
could satisfy the wants of the body in
food and refreshing wash. This
passed, we 90 forth on our quest of
more historic scenes. We HE our
way to the "Bunyan Monument"
This noble and world renowned
statue was presented to the town
by the Duke of Bedford. It was un-
yelled on June 10, 1874, in the pre-
sence of 10000 people.
The immortal dreamer is figured
in the dress of a puritan. He re-
presents his own ideal picture of a
true minister of Jesus Christ. His
eyes are lifted up to heaven, the best
of books are in his hands, the law of
truth is on his lips, the world be-
hind his back, and he stands as if
pleading with men.
Around the pedestal in the bas-
reliefs, are noted scenes taken from
his immortal works, selected by the
late Dean Stanley. We visited the
Bunyan Meeting House in Mill
Street. Ia this same short street
is good Baptist church, and the
John Howard Memorial Congrega-
tional Church, and we thought the
street ought to be called Church
Street.
We cannot dwell here on the many
things of interest, and relics we
found in the Bunyan Meeting House,
except to barely name some. Here
are the noted bronze doors presented
by the Duke of Bedford in 1876. On
them in ten panels are ten scenes
from the pilgrims Progress.
