Rules Of thn KangO

The postal authorities at Brussels
have lately noticed that the mail bags
dispatched to the Kongo were not be-
ing duly returned. and after a lot of
trouble they discovered the reason. II
appears that the colored postmen in the
Kongo Free State make presents Of the
mail bags to their wives or iancees.
These ladies simply cut ont the bottom,
and by drawing what is left over their
heads. and with the assistance Of a
piece Of string they have an ultra

The Swap Party Now

All those women who are in the habit
OF haunting bargain tables in the vain
hope Of getting something for nothing
will be delighted TO hear of this new
scheme in the way of entertainment,
says the Hostess.
II is called a Swap Party"
Not a very elegant title, u is true,
but your friends will probably forgive
that after the party is over or not be-
fore) and declare that they never had
so much fun in their lives.
The invitations should read some
thing like this: "Mr. and Mrs. John
Street request the pleasure OF your
company at a Swap Party on Friday
April the twenty-sixth, at half after
O'Clock. The swapping will begin
promptly at and you are requested to
bring a package containing something
which you are willing to part with"
It IS highly probable that your
friends will take advantage Of this kind
permission to get rid of the most un-
desirable things in their possession.
But no matter; the more ouItlandish
the article the more fun its owner will
have in exchanging II for something
else.
The packages should be securely
wrapped and at a given signal the
swapping begins.
The person who succeeds In obtain
ing some other persons donation In ex-
change for her own is privileged to
open it and II not satisfied may re-
wrap and swap" it of for another
thing This process continues unit
the person is satisfied with what he
has or until the bell announces thai
the contest has closed.
No prizes are necessary. Each per.
son keeps his latest swap.

IT'S A HABIT OF HIS.

That the entertainment of Book
er Washington at the White House
is not an lnadvertence on the part
of President Roosevelt, but a de-
llberate act resulting from settled
convictions, is fully shown by the
following extracts from yester-
days dispatches:

PERSONAL LIBERTY.

A mans right to work is one of
the most intimate rights of his
being. 1t Is the right to the exer-
else of his mental and bodily fac
ultles. 1t is more-it is the right
to his life, which depends for sus-
tenance on fruits of his labor. 1t
Is For the same reason the right of
his wife and children to their lives.
vi this right no man can, with
any shadow of equity, deprive
another; neither can any man by
his own authority dictate to
another when and how his right
Is to be used, else this other were
his subject, his slave. And when,
IN order to deprive a man of his
rights, violence is done to him
and bodily injury inflicted, then
there Is no measure to the inius-
tice put upon him; all semblance
of liberty is effaced; physical
force becomes the ruling law in
the relations of man to man.

THE NEGRO AT THE TABLE.

On Wednesday night President
Roosevelt, his wife and two chill
dren sat down to dinner in the
White House with the negro Book
er Washington as their guest at
the same table. He ate with them
all, drank with them all and re-
tired to the library to smoke and
talk politics with the president.
Just such another occurrence
has never been known in the an
nails of the White House, and it
shows that whatever his admirable
qualities, so suddenly discovered
when the chance of fortune made
him president, the present occu-
pant is the BLACKLIST and most con-
sistent Republican of them all.
The horror and dread of ELL
forced social equality, together
with the lasting memory of the
wrongs of reconstruction, is what
has kept the South solidly Demo
cratic even after economic ques-
tions have brought about wide diff
ferences of views among members
of the party, This episode, more
than anything that Roosevelt
could have done, will drive wan
derlng members into the fold again
and make Solid South once more
n necessity and a fact. There is no
possible eXtenuation for it except
In the convictions of the man, and
these would make him seek to place
all whites and negroes upon dead
level of equality. 1t is bad enough
to have negroes III office over us in
many places, condition which we
may now expect to continue; for
one who boasts of his immediate
Georgia ancestry to embrace the
negro in his closest family func-
tions and degrade his wife and
children to eat with him, is an in
etfaceable disgrace to the State
which was getting ready to be so
proud of him. For the president
to do this is an insult not only to
every self-respecting white person
IN the country, but to the whole
Caucasian race.
President Roosevelt has deliber-
ately, and with full knowledge of
what he was doing, slapped every
one of his decent Southern friends
III the face. They have ceased to
be Southerners if they do not re-
sent it. He has done more, in fill
ing every Southern white breast
with alarm at the tendency of his
act and the trend of his mind, and
all men in this section will be
united in resistance to the threat
ened evil.-Griffin News.

DON'T BE AFRAID OF WORK.

One thing that keeps young men
down is their fear of work. They
aim to find genteel occupations,
50 they can dress we'll, and not
soil their clothes and handle
things with the tips of their fin
gers. They do not like to get their
shoulders under the wheel, and
they prefer to give orders to others,
or figure as master, and let some
one else do the druggery. There
is no doubt that Incidence and
laziness are the chief obstacles to
success.
When we see a boy, who has just
secured a position, take hold Of
anything with both hands, and
Jump right into his work" as if
he meant to succeed, we have con-
fidence that he will prosper. But,
if he stands around, and asks
questions, when told to do any
thing if he tells you that this, or
that, belongs to some other boy to
do, for it is not his work; if he
does not try to carry out his orders
in the correct way; if he wants "a
thousand explanations, when
asked to run on an errand, and
makes his employer think that he
could have done the whole thing
himself ,-one feels like discharg-
ing such boy on the spot, for he
is convinced that he was not cut
for success. That boy will be
cursed with medriocicy, or will be
failure. There is no place in
this century for the lazy man. He
will be pushed to the wall.-Sep-
TENDER Success.
