Economics Club in their plan for ap-
plying for membership in the Fedora
ton Of Colorcd Womcn's Clubs.
Mrs. VIM. krohn, after arguing
against all the other speakers. burst
into tears and Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett.
a Colored member of the club. out of
sympathy. moved to lay the applica-
ton on the table. When the debate
opened the members appeared to favor
the resolution asking for membership.
Mrs Kronn said: We already have
too much publicity on account of our
action. What will we gain by it and
what is our object? Sentiment, so far
as | can learn. We are not strongly
united enough as club yet to take
such action. The members do not all
think alike and il is not right to force
this issue upon US. We are not ready
for it..
The women who had spoken most
radically on the other side were first
to offer Mrs. Krohn sympathy. Mrs.
Barnet rose at once. Il move that the
resolution be laid on the table" she
said.

favor of the resolution. put the ques-
ton without hesitation. The vote stood

boy who will make good man some day.
His father had borrowed a saw horse of
ncignbor that he might have some in
tcrviews with his wood pile. The little
boy was very mich interested in wood
saving, much more 20 probably than he
will be little later. and he thought that
he could saw some on his own hook. The
father. however. was afraid that his lii
tie son might get hurt SO he told him
not to touch the saw or the horse BIT
The forbidden implement had a great at
traction for him mostly because they had
been forbidden. and so when his father
was away he got down the saw and set
to work in the shed.
lie was chewing his under lip AMI
stretching mis- little legs until they were
at least one inch longer than they really
ought 70 be. liboriously pulling the big
saw back and forth and trying to hold
The stick in place. Then something hap
pcned. Perhaps it was u balky horse
afraid of little boys but at any rate it
buckcd and boy. horse and saw went all
in a heap in the sawdust. Tho little fe.-
low struck his mouth somehow in the fall
and when he rose to his feet from under
the pile ii was bleeding and hurting
drcadfuly. HIS mother heard the racket
and rIShCd out to see what had hap
pcned The little fellow was biavcly stfll-
ing the sobs and wiping the blood from
his mouth when she appeared Ills little
countenancc was all twisted with pain
and smcarcd with blood but he wasn't
crying. The frs: thing he said when he
saw his mother was: Oh. no. l inst
