Color LaDor ia Factories Not So Bad
After AlI-The Causes.

The availability and va ne Of colored
labor In factories ! nth have
been frequently called in question.
The manager Of the Vesta cotton mill,
Charleston, S. c., Is, in this case, a
competent witness. Captain Montgom-
cry admits the failure Of his Negro ls-
Dor ex xpeTiment, bat ascribes it rather
to local conditions than to any inher-
ent defects in Negro character.
He is very clear aud decisive in his
statement that, while the public may
call the Negro as a mill operative fail
uTe, he does not believes IL. He be-
Iieves that a cotton mill located in a
rarsl district, with Tenements owned
and controlled by the company, could
be successfully operated with cOlored
labor. Many Negro operatives in all
departments OF the Vesta mill proved
themselves quite as efficient Sc white
workers. The trucking business around
Charleston interfered with mill labor.
In the bean. AMI. ST. Iawberry, seasons
pickers were in great demand, and ST
higher wages than paid by the mills,
Although these seasons are short, Ne
goes Ike those with regular jobs at t he

One of the pleasant features was a

proud of his promising son, beyond

the ancestral ideas of adornment
adopted by women of fashion in the
opening year Of the twentieth century?
About ten years ago the unique fad of
wearing a little live lizard was a mama
among the feminine four hundred.
That they might not run about too far
the lizards were confined by a small
gold chain attached to a band about
the lizards body and pinned to the
breast. The uucanny creatures were
thus permitted to 60 the length of
their chains. Encouraged by this
fad to sport other original and more

PRETTY ROUGH o r


- tsG S8mD
Of Canadian LumbeYmen.
So full of peril Is the lumberman's
life that even his sports and games
must be spiced with danger or they
will pail upon his taste. On the long
winter nights a cruel game called
Jack, where be YET" is frequently
played.
The middle Of the largest room In the
camp Is cleared. Two men are secure.
ly blindfolded and, having previously
drawn lots for the first whack, they
kneel on the floor. In his right hand
each man holds a stout leather strap,
IN his left another leather strap, or q
rope is held by the end, either close to
the floor or, in some camps, actually
on it. The latter strap. being kept
taut by the combatants, guarantees a
uniform distance between them. They
are quite near enough to hurt each
other severely. which not infrequently
happens.
Now, the man who has been lucky
enough to draw the first call shouts,
"Jack, where be ye?" to which his op-
ponent must Immediately answer,
Here l be-" Then the first man
strikes at the place where he hnagines
his adversary to be with the heavy
leather strap. If he hits his man. he
Is entitled to another blow-may call
out again. Jack. where be yep aud
the other must answer. "Here l hp."
This Is continued till the first ma
misses, when he must take his ,uln
at being struck.
The others form a ring around the
two combatants, bets are made, and
each faction encourages and applauds
its chosen man. There are regular
rounds, and the game is usually kept
up until one or the other has had
enough or perhaps till one is carried
off the scene wounded. Hard heads
can stand hard knocks, and volunteers
for the sport are numerous. At the
beginning there is generally no malice.
A hard blow is struck-it is expected
it Is the game. But 1t occasionally
happens that the game develops into
q fierce duel.-PearsOn's.

what time the noon would be in her
Mrs. Gallup uttered a long drawn sigh,
Two minutes later she groaned. A
