MAN MOST TALKED ABOUT WHITE
 OR BLACK, BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
\ RESIDENT WASHINGTON of v the Tuskegee Institute was
 born a slave in Franklin Coun-

< RESIDENT WASHINGTON of I0 the Tuskegee Institute was born a slave in Franklin Coun-
 ty Virginia, at a place called Hale's Ford. This was in 1858 or 1s5s He was born in a typical cabin about sixteen feet square, in which he lived with his mother and a brother and sister until after the civil war, when all were de- clared free.
 Washington knows nothing about his ancestors. He does not even know the name of his father. He had heard that his father was white man who lived on a nearby plantation. While he was a slave he had no schooling
 After the war the entire family moved tc Maiden in West Virginia, near the salt mines of that state. His stepfather put him and his brother at work in one of the furnaces of tho salt worls Soon afterwards he learned to read, and then school for negro children wac opened. but Washington could not attend It. His stepfather kept him at work. Finally his appeals for an education were needed and he was sent to school. Later he worked In coal mine, and then he secured work in the house of Mrs. Ruffner a native of Vermont. General Ruffner, her husband, owned the salt furnace and coal mine All this time of his life he was endeavor- ing to go to the Hampton Institute, and he finally reached there with just fifty cents in his pocket. He staid there, how ever until he had secured good educa- tion, and had won the good opinion of all he met. General Armstrong, president of the institute, became his warm per sonal friend.
 When he was graduated he had no money. At first he became a waiter in a summer hotel in Connecticvt, and then he taught school at Maiden He then spent @ year in Washington, and then he became a public speaker in the two vir- ginias, winning no little reputation. After that he taught at Hampton in his beloved institute, and while he was there Gen. eral Armstrong selected him to go to Tuskegee to take charge of a normal school for negroes. This was the begin ming of his great life work, of which the world has heard a great deal-a work that is making good mechanics and good farmers of the negro boys of Alabama. It also turns out good teachers and some preachers. He reached Tuskegee in June, 1881, and his famous work Is therefore the result of twenty years of thought and labor.
 From small beginning the Tuskegee institution has become the largest edu- cational institution in Alabama. Its prop erty is valued at $500, 900, and it's endow- ment fund now stands at s215,O0O. The an- nual expenses of the institution arc ESQ.,

From the New York Press.
 In love affairs it's the one who goes fishing that gets caught.
 He who loves and runs away may live to get engaged anothr4 day.
 Most men seem to think the way to get up in the world is to show that somebody else Is down.
 After her third engagement woman goes into new one with about as much romance as she faces her shoes.
 When girl gets a letter from the right man regretting he can't come to dine at her house she makes all the other girls green with envy by acting like the letter was a proposal of marriage.

Ben dc Lemos Writes From Prison.

o. P, Columbus. O., October 20, 1901. Dear Colonel:-Hope you received my letter. wish to see some of the edi- torials in The Age Herald on ratification and ask that you send the paper we will meet soon and all will be we'll wish you success in all your undertake ings Yours respectfully,
 BEN De LENDS, O. F., Columbus, o.
 The "colonei' whom MT. de Lemos ad- dresses is given that proud military title by the writer's courtesy merely, for he Is simply plain mister. an old-time friend of the immortal de Lemos of Lowndes in the latter's happier days as leader of the Republican party in Alabama. The ratification referred to in the note Is, of course. the ratification of the new Ala bama constitution now. pending before the people. 70. P" ia for Ohio Peniten- tiary, in which MT. de Lemos is serving a term. for an offense against the United States pension laws, under as pleasant prison conditions as possible, he having been given work as Q bookkeeper. His health, as is well known in Alabama, has been precarious for years, and manual labor or very close confinem ent would be serious matter for him.
 It will be remembered that MT. de Lemos proffered to the prison authorities to give bond in the sum of S1O0.000, guar anteeing his prompt return to prison, for the privilege of attending the recent na- tional encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. The proposition was not agreed to, and so Ben de Lemos was un- able for the first time in the history of the c. A. R. to attend its national en- campment.
 The phrase. i've will meet soon.' would seem to indicate that MT. de Lemos feels assurance that he will soon be pardoned by the President and restored to liberty and citizenship. It Is understood that a petition signed by many hundreds of good citizens praying for pardon for MT. de Lemos was forwarded to Washington from Montgomery or Hayneville some months ago.

COSTLY FURs.
From Golfers Weekly.

From Golfers Weekly.
 The skin now most prized and highest priced Is the silver or black fox, noted for It's rich glossy black fur and It's ex- terior hairs of silver white. In 1900 an exceptionally beautiful skin brought nearly s3000-the highest ever paid. But the average value of good skins varies from s350 to $10o. The fur next in value is that of the sea otter, for which s12OO was paid in 1900. The fur is soft and fine and varies in color from dark. chest nut to deep brown, according to the age of the animal. It is now very rare and only one skin was offered by the Hudson Bay Company in March, 1901.

Lawyers Law and Judges Law.

"I don't know anything; but I am just now going into court to try to con- vince jury that I now a good deal" said a leader of the bar yesterday when asked for printable information.
 There Is a popular impression that juries in some cases are practically con- vinced before the trial begins,' observed the lawyers questioner.
 You see, there is an anomaly in our legal practice responded the lawyer, ignoring his friends observation. "A lawyer may argue for two hours in suc- cessfully Illuminating the minds of the jury as to what the law really is in re- gard to the case at issue; and then, when he has done his work. the judge calmly proceeds to instruct the jury as to what the law really is sure enough, which is, in some instances, quite different from the lawyers law. Thus we have two diff ferent views of the flaw presented to the jury-'so> remarkable for your intelli- gence and sense of justice, gentlemen of the jury;' and there you are!'
