When Leander Southard and his wife
quarreled, says the New York World.
they divided their house in two sec
tions with chalk line. The wife and
the baby took up their abode ON the
south side, which was the sunniest
and best, while the husband occupied
the chilly and dark region on the
horthern limit Of the frontier.
This division of territory, however.
was a failure as a peacemaker, and
for reason which international poll

buffer state between the two parties
and frontier frictions arose that have
driven them into the courts.
Leander Southard, whose chalkline

Southard. Lawyer George 4. Mott

tablished in this city 3 Young

attempted to buy building for it
as home on lIth street between
Q and R streets northwest. To
the humiliation of the cOlOred peo-
pie Of Washington the scheme
failed, and it has been said that it
did not tsucceed because the preach
ers would not allow their Churches
to support it. And yet one Of
these same preachers is making a
verulent aud violent attack on
the MetropOle Climb, a lacial or
ganization Of the highest class and
strange as it may seem this Clno
is located in the same block IN
which this Young Mems Christian
Association was situated. Perhaps
if these preachers had given their
support to the Association there
would have been no necessity for
the NetrOpole Club, or any other
locial club where the young men Of
our community can fad those
opportunities to read the best
literature aud play innocent

by the Young Men Christian
Association. Moreover, the Met

Native African Telephone.

People often wonder how the ma
tives in Africa contrive to transmit
news with apparently miraculous ra-
pidity across miles of bush and des-
ert. The explanation is a simple one.
They use the telephone. The Sou
danese telephone is nothing like the
one in use in European countries. II
is of two kinds-a hollOwed-out ele-
phant tusk of immense size or a tam
tam. The tusk can be made to trans
nit seven distinct notes by means of
a slice of tree bark. which is placed
on the outside of the tusk at varying
distances from the mOuthpiece. BY
means of this instrument sounds can
be heard at a distance of several
miles. and messages are frequently
transmitted as much as 200 miles
in single day by these primitive tel
ephones.

Papa Savoie declared that Nettie
should not wed any of the young men
who plOw corn for a living around

given out by Sayoie pere that Nettie
should not smile upon the suit of one

closer watch on Crescent City than
his ancestors did on the Rhine. When

forces would enter Crescent City and
drive about waiting for a chance to
