Negro Melodies-1Booke.r Washinoto

Negro Melodies---Booker Washinqtor1.
The first request made BY Prince
Henry after being received III New
= ork was that should arrange to
give him some of the old Southern
melodies, il possible, sung by the Ne
groes; that he was passionately fond
of them, and had been all his life
not the rag-tine songs, but the old
Negro melodies. Several times dur
ing his trip endeavored to carry out
his wishes, with more or less success;
but, finally, at the Waldorf Astoria,
the Hampton singers presented them
selves in one of the reception-rooms
and gave him recital of Indian and
negro melodies. He was charmed.
And while / was talking to him just
after a Sioux Indian had sung lul-
laby, he suddenly turned and said,
Isn't that Booker T. Washingto over
there :" / recognized Washington and
replied that it was, and he said .Ev-s
ans, would you mind presenting him,
to me? know how some of your
people feel about Washington, but I
have always had great sympathy with
the African race, and I want to meet
the man regard as the leader of that
race" So went at, once to Wash
ington and told him that the Prince
wished him to be presented, and took
him myself and presented him to the
Prince. Booker Washington sat down
and talked with him for fully ten min
utes, and it was a most interesting
conversation one Of the most inter
esting ever heard in my life. The 1
case with which Washington conduct
ed himself was very striking, and Z
Only accounted for it afterwards when
{ remembered that he had dined with
the Queen Of England two or three
times, so that this was not new
thing for him. Indeed, Booker Wash

THE BATTLE OF HAKoDATE.
Not Found in the Histories, but One
of Live Interest.


one night, about eight years ago,
three American men-o'-wars men
dropped into Il saloon in Hakodate.
Japan, kept by Il former United States
bluejacket Already in the saloon were
about Il dozen strapping German men,
o'-war's men from a ship that had been
safeguarding German interests in Sa-
noa, These German sailors had a few
months before formed part of a liberty
party from their ship that had received
a hard trouncing in Apa mt the hands
of a liberty party from the American
warship in the harbor ana so, natur-
ally enough, they had no use for the
American deep-Water uniform. The
biggest man among the German sailors
had one English word in his vocabu-
larry. That word was "rasslc," ana he
kept repeating it sneeringly TO the
three American tars. who were talking
to the eY-tar behind the bar and be-
having themselves.
one of the Americans, who had been
a lumberman I'm IA Michigan lumber
camp, where wrestling was the rough
mems great game, finally found that
The German sailors "rassle" taunt was
getting him ON the raw, and he walked
up to the German and told him that
he'd 'rassle" him for money, marbles
or chalk, but all in good nature, and no
hard feeling to follow. Tfe saloon man,
who knew German, translated the
Americans words, and the German
sailor giant smiled contemptuously
at the United States tar whom he
greatly oyermatched in size.

ers and shoes and went at ii i'm the

CAUGHT OFF HER GUARD.

| From Youths Companion.
| An interesting story comes from the
| French Alps of Dauphiny relating the
futile efforts of the Princess of Croy,
| who desired To enter the monastery OF
| the Grande Chartreuse a habitation
from which women visitors are rigidly
excluded. The story runs that the
princess dressed herself in boys
clothes and accompanied her husband
TO the institution. The gates We're
opened to them, and the prince sent
his card to the father superior, with
line to the effect that he was accom-
panied by a friend Just as they We're
about TO make the round of the build

father would like TO see the prince and

After three minutes of wrestling, catch
as-catch-can style. the agile. muscular
| and wrestling -schooled American tar
| bridged the vast German with crotch
! hold, and then. applying Il full nelson,
! he forced the German buejacket's great
| shoulders to the Sawdust. 1t had really
| been something easy for the American
, and the German was enraged, as We're
| his companions. The German wrestler
| stiffened the first and middle fingers OF
! his right hand. forming Il tWo-pronged
| fork of them. and made deliberate
effort to iab the eyes out of his vic
torious opponents head. The American
| lodged in the nick of time, grabbed a
| stone schnapps bottle from the bar, let
the big German have it full in the fore
head-and the battle was on.
| There We're 800 American bluejackets
| from various American ships on shore
liberty in Hallodate that night and
| more than that number from the two
big German warships in the harbor.
Hey, Rube!" is as much the rallying
| yell of menaced American sailors as it
is of threatened American circus men,
and the Hey, Rube!' yell issued from
| the throats of those three American
| tars as soon as the dozen German sail
| orS hoped them, as they immediately
did. The yell was taken up by half a
! dozen American bluejacliets a bit up
the street and passed on like the night
call of sentries until all Hakodate rang
with it.
The German tars started their cry
| agomg, too, and inside of five minutes
the barroom of that eX-United States
sailor looked as if ii had been hit by a
derailed freight train. The American
and German fiat feet came scamperins
to the saloon from all the points of the
| compass. They fought all night and
would have fought all the next day but
that the American and German sklp-
pers wisely ordered their marine guards
ashore, and the sea soldiers charged
upon the combatants with fixed bay-
onets.
When the smoke lifted and the debris
was cleared away, none of the Ameri-,
cans was found TO be in such shape
as to require a detail of stretcher car
riers. More than twenty of the Ger-
mans had TO be thus lightered to theif
ships. and most of them We're limping.
