Somebody understood 1t. and the Morn
Ing Glory agnin felt two great. warm
drops, which she knew to BIO tears. But
they were not bitter tears. like the first
ones; they were very sweet, because
they were tears Of JOY.
After this Somebody went away and
passed, and he did not return, and the
little Morning Glory was very sad. She
felt hurt that he had left her so sud
denly and with no word Of adieu.
Everything was In state Of great
hustle and preparation all over the
place. Little Morning Glory could hear
them hammering and running about,
and she felt that something was going
to happen. Once she caught the word
bride" and something told her what
1t all meant. and a little Jealous pain
went through her heart, for she had
once overheard the hOusemaid telling
the cook that all men were fickle and

she said.
So little Morning Glory hung her
leaves In sadness and quite forgot to
feel proud of her pretty pink babies,
for there were n great many of them
now.
Once she felt something tug at her
roots, and rough hand grasped her;
then n kind voice said: Don't touch
that. Master loved the little vine, and
1t must be left us II H." Oh, how re-
lieved little Morning Glory felt at these
words! She reached out and tried to
touch the speaker. but the maid hur-
ried away and never saw the little
green hands at all.
Soon the nights began to be chilly,
and one by one her babies left her and
luttered to the ground. and she herself
grew pale and felt very weak and III,
and she feared that she was going to
die. How she wished that Somebody
would come backl She was afraid that
he would be too late.
One morning she heard the window
open. and Somebody again stood there.
There was some one with him nova
beautiful lady-and he held her In his
arms and called her Sweetheart" In
his new happiness he had quite forgot
ten his little friend, and Morning
Glory's henri ached as she remembered
what the maid had told the cook.
Just then Somebody looked out and
saw poor little Morning Glory with her
leaves all faded and brown, and he re-
pronched himself because he had not
thought of her before.

Negroes Giving Trouble.

A dispatch from Jacksonville, Florida, May
8, says:
A careful survey of the situation in this city
today reveals one startling fact. Trouble
with the negro element is imminent. There
are about Is, 900 colored people in jackson
vile. Of these about $500 have been burned
out, and yet from $500 to 1000 are drawing
rations from the relief association. In other
words, repeating is being practised by the
negroes and a rapidly spreading notion is OBJ
tanning among them that there is no need of
working so long as free food is being distrib.
uted, consequently it is becoming difficult to
obtain negro labor and refusals to work have
been in some instances accompanied by con
vert threats against the whites.
An official Of the Western Union Telegraph
Company said today that an endeavor TO OBJ
tain negroes TO assist in line work had proved
almost futile; out of 800 men who where offer
ed employment only % had accepted. This
morning two ladies were insolently accosted
by negro woman, who was carrying loaf
of bread in one hand and a fish IN the other,
both obtained at neighborlng relief station.
This negress said: ''The day OF the white
cracker has passed, aud the negroes are on
top TO stay.
A gentleman wished to employ 100 negroes
to clear his ground of wreckage. He could
not obtain single laborer. One and all OF
those approached said there was no need to
work any longer, as friends in the North were
taking care of them. Police officers report
that hundreds of negroes within their personal
knowledge are obtaining food on the pretense
of having been burned out, when the fire did
not come within half mile of their cabins.
Under these circumstances, it is becomin the
general opinion that contributions of money
will help the situation here better than any
amount of supplies. With sufficient money
in hand the negroes can be placed at work
clearing up the ruins, aud no relief will be
necessary for their families, for at a wage of a
dollar a day they can buy all provisions
needed.
Those who refuse to work will be made to
leave town by the militia. The money paid
out in wages would go to the retail merchants,
who in turn would purchase of the wholesale
houses here, none of which was injured by the
fire, and in their turn the wholesale houses
would buy fresh stocks in the North, thus
eventually returning the money to the gener-
GUS people who had furnished it.
To sum the situation up in word, unless
free food distribution is withheld from the
able bodied negro population, serious trouble
will supervene, leading to disastrous results.

The Oratorical Association of Maryland

mond Myers, of Western Maryland, whose
subject was ''The Self Realization OF the
Race;'' Oscar B. Coblentz, of ST. Johns, who
took ssUnselfishness the Mother of Liberty"
as his theme; Daniel 6. Anderson, of Wash,
ington, who spoke on political Despotism, y
and Preston NJ. Peach, of Maryland Agricnl-
tural, who set forth what in his opinion were
s'The Requirements Of the Age" Thejudges

DIR. c.. Ernest Smith, all of Baltimore; on
Delivery the judges were George NJ. Upshur,

and Rev. VIM. R. Turner, Rector Of ST. Mi

From Philadelphia Record, May s.

Mr.. Perry s. Heath, very active and un-
scrupnlous Republican campaigner, in a Lon
don Interview insists that Senator Mark
Hanna would be the strongest Republican
nominee for the Presidency in 1904 and the
easiest candidate 10 elect. Probably Mr..
Hanna would have selected, ifpermitted, some
other sponsor to stand for him. Probably
also he would prefer, if he should really have
Presidential aspirations, a less unlim " send
off. The people who keep the rn;i OF pa!itics
and politicians, however, will readily under
stand the preference of the Heaths for the
Hannas. They will be more apt to thank
than TO fnd fault with Mr.. Heath for his too
early launch ofthe Hanna boom, regarding it
as a case where ''the punishment fits the
crime There has been trifs; too much
Hanna in the politics of the counlry for the
past four years. Forewarned is forearmed.
