Not long since a respectable colored.

cause of q great wave of lying and

REST is not quitting the busy ca
reer," says the poet. The truth Of the
saying was impressed on an Arkansas
family by Lulu, their coIored cook. She
was fat, lazy and 'n%otional," says Har.
per's Magazine, but her cooking was
perfect. and Mr.. and Mrs. Lawton is-
nored her whims and reduced her work
to minimum.
Good cooks were so hard to get that
the. question Of adding a feathers
weight to Lulu's duties was discussed
In a subdued whisper. One day Lulu
resigned her position.
why, Lulu" asked Mrs. Lawton,
what is the matter2 Is the work too
hard for you?'
well. ma'am," replied Lulu, I'm all
tired out. I'm going home and take in
washing and rest up"

An Ancient Greek Relic.

As a memorial OF their victory in
their final and desperate struggle at
Palatea to hurf back the invading east,
the ancient Greeks made a tripod from
b golden cups Of the Persians' table
and the bronze OF their soldiers armor.
1t bore on its sides the names of every
city whose soldiers fought and fell in
the supreme moment of a nations life.
That tripod still exists at Constantine
pie, a national relic which has endured
longer than the states whose deeds It
consecrated..

GYPSY Jack. Jan. b

Despite the apparent sway of farce
comedy and show girl" performances,
the o%ld-fashioned .melodrama still
claims It's devoted adherents. That
this is so, without a doubt, is practi-
cally proven by the unstinted ucce
which has greeted Willis Granger dur
ing his present tour with Gypsy
jack" Not onlyi is Manager Edward
G. White highly pleased with the re.
ception which has greeted his new
star, but the latter has, by his int1in-
sic worth as a m~elo-dramatic actor,
proven his fitness for tie role of the
gypsy boy, which is the leading char
acter in the production.

THE spirit of coercion, it appears TO
us, has taken possession Of macy peo-
pie to such an extent that their efforts
to improve moral and social conditions
lose much Of their strength in the
bitter a~ntagonisms they invoke. There
Is continual harping about enforce
ment OF the laws and d%enunciatlon
of those who violate them. The
idea of persuasion has been en-.
tirely forgotten. Seldom hear we OF
movements to persuade men to do
right. On the other hand compulsiou
Is uppermost IN the minds OF those
who are continually agItatfng reforms.
The evil dolngs OF others are heralded
TO the world and the authorities are
blamed. The object OF this course is
not apparent. II enrayes those who
Violate the laws and drives them 10 o
desperation and a~ntogonlsm, which re-
suit in more fragrant violations. 1t
K the oticers to be thus constant
ly criticized and is without good effect.
1t certainly does not stimulate them
to better effort in the discharge OF
their duties, but 10 the contrary 1t
drives them to their work like a hem
pecked husband. Instead OF an
encouragement and a strength to them
it has a d~emoralizing effect. Again,
ia this connection never hear we com
mendation of the officers for the good
deeds they do. They receive no praise,
whatever, but are always subjects for
fault-fnders. No spirit OF generosity
or llberallty is shown toward them.
And again, we venture to say, aud To-
lieve we can substantiate the declara-
tion, that there Is not a single citizen
in Clarksburg, who does moi violate
some law. It may be a tribe but 1T is
a violation nevertheless. This being
true IL would be the proper thing and
an exhibition OF earnes;ness and Sin
,cerity for all who are SO punctilIous
about the keeping OF the laws to care
fully refrain from even the slightest
and most Insignificant violation them
selves. They ought to set an example.
Having done this let them then not
overlook the fact that the important
feature OF the end they desire attained
is the good behavior OF the people.
With that attained there will be no
necessity for the enforcement OF the
laws by the officers for the reason that
they are obeyed by the people. Harsh
measures are found necessary at times
but persuasive ones are usually much
more effective. Men are much more
easily led than driven. a great deal
of strife and bitter feeling has been
engendered by the agitation INDUCED
In here the past several months.
Many>harsh things have been uttered.
In many instances unwarranted
charges have been made and the char
OF innocent people have been
blackened and in some Instances
maliciously and for selfish purposes.
The patriotism of the people has been
disturbed. The spirit OF common in
has been weakened. The get
and-work.together spirit has beea
checked. There is not 50 much ardor

EL PAso DIvoRcEs.

Fl Paso will soon have a reputation as a divorce center; as a place where the marriage VOW may easily be cast aside; as 8 place where the nuptial knot may be cut asunder without pre- judice or humiliation. The appear ance on the Fl Paso court docket last week of an even one hundred divorce cases has raised he question in that city, "Is marriage failure?"
 Commenting on this unusual showing made by the divorce docket in the Fl Paso court the Herald of that city says:
 These 100 cases make some interest ing reading. There are all the charges that can be imagined made against 100 poor defendants-they can have no | hope of heaven. while the 100 plaintiffs have always been faithful to every obligation of the marriage state. They | have always been blameless, stood curses, neglect, abandonment, and drunkenness. ~ ! U SOmc Oi tuc STOUuuS s-t IOrbu m the petitions are amusing. One wife, amor other things, says that her husband deceived her about the num- Der of children he had, he having told
 her he had only one daughter fourteen
 years old and when he took her home
 she found four, and from her descrip- tion they must have been the four meanest "brats" that ever breathed. And then she further says the husband and father would let them abuse and maltreat their poor step-mother until
 she could bear it no longer and left.
 "One poor unfortunate is a minor and brings his action by his nexl friend to be relieved ot the galline
 yoke.
 "There, too. are many pathetic stories of drunken husbands ana fathers and iefenseless children, V wnert the freedom of divorce is the only relief, if it can be SO called.
 "In most of the cases the defendant. must be as anxious for freedom as tho plaintiffs, for no answers have beer filed. Then again come counter
