Tba "yag" has small sympathy from
either the police or the courts. as amy
one may know whose duties have taken
him daily into those circles.
These Porto Bicaus who are at pres
ont upon the streets of the city GER
tainly had work when they arrived.
Each one had not only work and wages.
but there was house room, wood and
water together with medical attend
ance. BY sticking to their jobs they
could have saved money as so many
Portuguese and Japanese have done at
the same style of work and at even
lower wages. with the present condi-
tiou of the labor market a man must
be very poor laborer indeed to be
discharged, No plantation on the ISL
ands has it's full quota of laborers, and
arms TO WELD hoes and strip cane are
needed in every part of the group.
Even the women can get work for a
time.
The probabilities are that these men,
at all events in the large majority Of
cases. did not care for steady work,
but marched off from the plantation
without a with your leave or a by
your leave, which they certainly have
a right to do. But they have no right
to come upon the community for
charity. The saying of old is in the
sweat Of thy brow shalt thou eat
bread" and it is as true today as it
was when it was first given forth. If
men voluntarily quit work, come to
the city and become Migrants, the laws
of all civilized communities provide a
means by which they may earn their
bread, and moreover shall be forced to
earn their bread.
Before any gushing sympathy is
poured over these Porto Ricans, it will
be we'll to thoroughly understand
whether they merit any sympathy at
all, or whether they are in their pres
ent condition of their own choice.
There may be cases which possibly
merit sympathy but the presumption
is strongly in favor Of their being lazy,
idle and dissolute men who would
rather exist on pick up living about
the streets Of city than work for an
honest livelihood in the country fields.

contests involve an enormous muscular
strain, and several of the contestants
in the last series succumbed to the
strain within a few months. As a

The Campbell estate is pretty well
tied up, if it is possible for the trust
to last for one hundred years from the

a property has been tied up for that

law and the lawyers will have. One

every form Of stomach trouble, that people
have found that it is the one true specific.

cases and ailments which affect US proceed
from one form or another Of stomach
trouble.
Indigestion is one of the worst and most
prevalent forms, but Vogeler's Curative
Compound cures indigestion. Here is one
instance:
Mr.. w. Bowel, Of 34. Priory Street. Win.
chester, Col, writes: Il wish to state that
my wife has been taking Vogeler's Curative
Compound for a long time, and it is the
only thing that has done her any real good
for indigestion, in fact nothing would induce
her to be without bottle now"
When We stop to seriously consider the
fact, that this great remedy is made from
the formula Of one of the most eminent living
London physicians, it is no wonder that
people who have happily experienced the
benefit to be derived fror, its use, will not
now be withou, i. at any cost. .,

In New YORK.
Judge Clarke. of st. Louis. has con-
victed and fned heavily q number Of
grocers for selling baking powders

mixed with ground rock, and dumped
1t into the river.
The health authorities are thus tax.

Ious substitutes in place Of wholesome

As alum costs only two cents a
pound. there Is great temptation for
those manufacturers who make sub
stitutes and imitation goods. to use 1t.
Alum baking powders can be detected

analysis, but the ordinary housekeeper.

however. from the fact that they are
sold at from ten TO twenty cents for q
pound can. or that some prize-like a
spoon. or glass. or piece Of crockery.
or wooden ware-is given with the
powder as m inducement.
AS the people continue to realize the
Importance of this subject and consum-
ers insist on having baking powder OF

as the health authorities continue their
vigorous crusades. the alum danger
will. 1t is hoped, finally be driven from

A PRAYER.

Teach me, God, to walk gently amid the
many cares and distractions OF my daily
life. Let me be filled with the spirit Of
calm that quiets the fever of desire and
the ache of disappointment. Let me be-
lieve that Thou who hast given to Thy
children their longing for life and love and
beauty, wilt not leave them unsatisfed in
their loneliness. Thy purposes are greater
than our purposes. even as Thou art
strength where we find ourselves only in
weakness. Then let me trust myself with
serenity to the leadings of that purpose
which / cannot understand. and, while !
wait and work and suffer in my mortal
blindness, may my heart SO go out in sym.
pathy to those who also wait and work
around me that may help in some real,
even If small. way to hasten the coming
Of Thy kingdom on the earth.

LONGER A WELLESLEY COLLEGE o1R1
Daughter Of Booker T. Washington Fails to
Pass Examinations and Leaves College.
lBy the Associated Press.l

Boston, Mass, Nov. 4.-Miss Portia
Washington, daughter of Booker 4.
Washington, of the Tuskegee Institute,
mas not returned to Wellesley College
this fall, but has entered Bradford
Academy, i'll Haverhill. The reason given
at Wellesley fer her leaving is that Miss
Washington failed to pass her examlna.
ton for the second year She was
special student.
Wellesley officials declare emphat-
cally that Miss Washington was not
dismissed. but that, following the usual
rule of the institution, when she failed
in her examinations she took the same
course as any other student would that
of voluntarily leaving. The principal
study in which Miss Washington was
deficient was music.
Wellesley officials are unwilling to dis
cuss the matter, but among the students
there are several opinions. 1t is said the
notOriety that came to Wellesley after
Miss Washington went there a year ago
was extremely distasteful, though no
open protest was made until the young
woman took to writing signed articles
for various publications and gave sew
eral interviews Members of the faculty
were much opposed to this course and
felt considerable annoyance
Miss Washington's presence was also
a cause of some friction among the stu
dents. Those from the South would
have nothing to do with her, while some
of the Northern girls took her up" and
gave little receptions in her honor. This
led to hostile feeling between the two
factions of students that was another
source of discomfort to the faculty.
The question of Miss Washington's per-
sonalty in no way entered into the mat
ter. She made a particular study of
music to fit herself as teacher, but
failed to meet the requirements of her
course The fact of her leaving Wellcs-
ley has been kept secret until now.
