The elimination of the negro by
the "Lily White' Republicans in
Alabama is simply another indi-
cation Of the fact that the negro
will soon have to look to a political
party other than the Republican
party. Since it is pretty evident
that the Republican leaders have
no more use for him than any
other party, other than to secure
his vote and his aid during the
campaign. The negro must cease.
to be a political slave. If he votes
the Republican ticket he should do
so because he believes in Repub
lican principles and not because
Abraham Lincoln was a Repub-
lican o because the Republican
party fought to free his ancestors.

STATISTICS given by Rev. Thomas
B. Gregory in the Chicago Ameri-
can show that the total number of
divorce cases in the U. S. for any
given year since 1870 exceeds the
figure for all the rest of the world.
And that the percentage of divorces
to marriages more than doubled
since 1870 and more than trebled
since 1890. This is not a very
good incentive for the unmarried
young men to become benedicts.
But it may serve as a solution to
the statements which are so often
given them "you don't know what
you are missing"

The Two School Boys.

| saw one morn through rain and
Two boys trudge on together
With slate and book to school they
went
All through the stormy weather.
The selfsame coat enwrapped them
both
Perhaps they had no other
But who is there who would not
share
A warm coat with his brother?
Two happy-hearted lads were they;
Content with homely faring.
Right merrily they trotted on
For wind nor weather caring.
1t took me back to other days,
When thou and | together
EMBODIED both in one warm shawl,
Were wont to brave the weather.
Still stray my thoughts to those old
days
Under the like conditions,
When full of zeal, we travelled on
Exploring expeditions.
Then when the sweet, wild fruits we
found,
Or long tree branch for swinging;
AS pleased were we as if we'd found
The source of Nile upspringing,
Our golden days were they, and still
A halo fair and golden
Is thrown around our later years,
We, in its light enfolden.
Still muse upon those olden days,
And ever in our dreaming,
Those dear old days those dear old
haunts
Are still with us in seeming.

AccIDENTLY KILL ED LADY
CLERK IN ST ORE.
KILLING MANIA s |EzED HIM
Shot Wife, Son and daughters and
Would Have Ended His Own Life
But for Prompt Arrest.

Turner's Falls, Mass, Dec. 81
Louis Bitter, a jeweler of this place,
today shot five persons two of whom,
his clerk, Ida Columbe and his own
5-year-old son are dead. His other
victims were his wife, Christiana, and
his two daughters, Annie, about IL
years of age, and Carrie e, IL years old.
1t is thought they will not die.
There is evidence that it was Bit
zer's purpose also to kill himself, but
his prompt arrest appa rently prevent
ed him from carrying out this purpose.
He is about IS years of age.
From a note left in the store by Bit
ger, it appears that while he was
cleaning a revolver the weapon was
discharged, accidently, and the bullet
hit Miss Columbe in the head, killing
her instantly. Overco me by the sit
uation, Bitter apparen tly rushed to
his home, hatless and wild with ex-
element and began the work of TX
terminating his family.
The little boy, ill in bed with meas
les, was shot and killed. The 16-year-
old daughter, Annie, was wounded
through the left hand and in the ear.
The 12-year-old daughter, Carrie vas
shot through the neck. Mrs. Bitter
was hit in the face, the bullet passing
through her nose.
The sound of shots brought the
neighbors into the house and Bitter
was arrested. The police believe that
he is insane.
A note which they found in his
store after the affair was an almost
incorherent tumble Of words. After
telling Of the shooting of Miss Column
be, Bitter wrote that he had determ-
ined to go to his home and end the
lives of his wife and children and then
his own.
