difficult to believe that they were once
proud and naughty savages, who regarded
with disdain the white sailors who occa-
s1onally visited them, hooking them as
they walked because they were not
trained to the same athletic degree of
fneness as the Maoris.
They keep up many of the old tradi-
lions of the tribe. Artistic tatooing is
still a feature of the Maoris' personal
decoration, says an Auckland letter to the
Seattle Times, and nowhere in the world
can finer physical establishment Of this
variety be seen. Some of the older men
exercise, and the chiefs are not wanting
in dignity and hauteur, but the curses of
civilization have done their work, and the
Maori of to-day IS not the Maori Of fifty
or even thirty years ago.
At that time the Maoris were ferocious
athletes. Alcohol was unknown to them
Their staple foods were a kind Of sweet
potato, the dubious root of a kind Of lily
and fish and birds. They did not use to-
bacco. AS result of this abstinence they
were blessed with fine white teeth, keen
eyesight and perfect immunity from can
Ger and blood diseases. Cuts and wounds
healed with remarkable rapidity. They
were good fathers and mothers, attentive,
dren, though by an odd contrast they
seldom hesitated to kill a weakly or de-
formed child at the birth. This had some
thing to do with the splendid physique Of
the race. The chief scourge Of the Maori
was consumption, which was not brought
upon them, however, by any careless or
barbarous habit. The Maoris in New
Zealand were a. tropical race, who mi.
grated into temperate zone. They natur-

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY "a, 1900.

The Afro-Americans of Omaha,
headed by DR.. o. M. Ricketts,, propose
to have the city council appropriate
money to secure the Lincoln car and
have it restored as nearly as possible
to its appearance when President Lin
coin used it and place it in a public
building in Omaha as curiosity. For
years this curious piece of railroad
equipment has been occupying avacant
lot at the Union Pacific yards, with
ether cast-off rolling stock. The COM
pany bought the car shortly after the
Lincoln funeral and used it in the far
West as pay car, it being especially
desirable for. this purpose, as it had
half-inch boiler plate within it's side,
concealed by upholstering and mahog-
any. These plates were placed there
as precautlon to prevent President
Lincoln being shot while at the front,
where he frequently went in this arm
ored car. The Union Pacific found it
desirable as a pay car because Of dan
ger Of outlaw attacks. The car was
the finest thing known to railroading

LYRIC OF THE BUCkSAW.
Ur-r rick, ur-r raw,

Ur-r rick, ur-r raw,
Ur-r rick, ur-r-rawl
Have you buckled your back to an old buck
Have you doubled your knee on knotty stick
And bobbed to the tune of ur-raw-ur-r rick?
Have you sawed till your eyeballs goggled and
stopped?
AS doleful lad there was in town?
If so we can talk Of the back-bent woe
That followed the youngsters Of long ago.
All, urban chap with your anthracite
Pass on, for you cannot fathom, quite,
The talk that.I made with this other chap
Who got no Hcuddling in comforts lap.
You'll scarcely follow me when sing
Of the rasping buck-saw's dancing spring.
For the rugged rhythm is fashioned for
The ear that remembers ur-r rick, ur-r raw.
Ur-r raw, ur-r rick,
Ur-r raw, ur-r rick!
We pecked at our mountain stick by stick.
Our dad was man who was mighty good
In getting the women folks lots Of wood.
And as soon as shedding came on to stay
Jack got all work and he got NO play
For daily the ox-seds creaked and crawked
TIL the yard full and the bucksaws
talked.
Twas rugged toll and we bumped our backs.
But we scarce kept pace with dads big axe.
There were bitter mornings of ''ten below"
There were days of buster and days of snow,
But with double mittens, a big wool scarf
And coonslkin earlaps we used to laugh
At the fussiest blast old Boreas shrieked
And the nippingest pinches Jack Frost tweaked.
We were warm as the blade Of the yanking
saw
That steamed to the tune Of ur-r rick, ur-r raw!
.Ur-r raw, ur-r rick,
Ur-r raw, ur-r rick!
Ho, men at the desks, there, dull and sick!
You slap your hands to your stiff old backs
At thought Of the days Of the saw and the axe,
And you press your palms to an aching brow
And shiver to think Of a sawbuck now.
But, ah, old fellows, you can't deny
You banker bit for the times gone by,
When the toll Of the tasks that filled the day
Made bright by contrast our bits of play.
o, grateful the hour at set Of sun
When the tea was hot and the biscuits "done,'
When checking his axe in the chopping block
Dad sung ''Knock off, boys; five o'clock
Now tell me truly, We wearied men,
Are you ever as happy as you were then,
When you Strengthened your toil-bent, weary
backs
At the welcome plop Of dads old axe?
And tell me truly can you forget
The sight Of the table that mother set,
When dropping the saws in the twilight gloom,
We troopeds to the cheer Of the dear forenoon.
And there in the red shades mellow light
Made feast with a grand, good appetite?
Made feast at the sweet, old hOmespun board
On the plum preserves and the cram jell stored
For demands like these; and made great holes
In the heaps Of the cream O. tartar rolls,
All, gusto! fckle and faint above
The savory viands you used to love,
What wouldn't you give for the sharp-set tang
That followed those days when the steel teeth
For zest was as keen as the bright swift saw
When you bumped to the tune Of ur-r rick, ur-r
raw. 81 -...

In recent sermon, Rev. w. H. Car
wardine, of Chicago, said: ''The
Afro-American is part and parcel of
this great commonwealth, and to at
tempt to eliminate and ostracize him
is to undermine the basic principles
upon which our government rests. The
oppression of the Afro-American in
this country is against the spirit and
letter of our Constitution. He is here,
and. here to stay. He must be pro-
tected in all the rights of his citizen
ship. Where he is ignorant and de-
graded he must be educated and taught
habits of industry. A government
that had the power to free nlm must
be strong enough to protect him in
the right of his freedom. If he vio-
lates law he must suffer the law, and
that law must not be lynch law. We
have worse. citizens in this country
than the black man, aye, ten thousand
times worse when judged by standards
that go to form the ideals of a true
citizenship"
That's the right sort Of talk, and
when a preacher talks like that, we
have some confidence in his Christian
ity.
