rather striking book called Emporium
in ImperiC," has produced another
treatment of the negro problem under
tie guise of fiction, called ''Unfetter-
ed" (OriOn Publishing Company, Nash
Ville). AS a story it is well enough
cOntriVed to hold the attention of the
reader, and it is written in an en-
gaging style. In itself it is a proof
of the gradual advancement of the
race, and represents something done
as Wei as a constructive effort to
solve one of the great of all problems
confronting American craftsmanship
Mr.. Grlggs is an Cptimist who looks
forward to parallel civilization to be
built up by the Negro, side by side with
the civilization of the white man.
The book is serious, it is readable
and it is thoughtful"
THE chicago Daily Ne1CS says that
Sutton E. Griggs has written "a power

is, in brief, a serious attempt to solve
the greatest of the problems now con-
fronting American craftsmanship
the Negro question in the Southern
States - The story is sufficiently we'll
contrived to make the reading of the
entire book no hard task, and the
author is evidently a man of educa-

The Philadelphia Daily Telegraph
says:
THE book in question has many ele-
mentS of power; it is sincere, deep.
forcible, and very much in earnest.
Many of the characters are we'll drawn

the conditions and circumstances of
tie Negro world are portrayed with
considerable skill by one who has evi-
GENTLY studied them closely"
The Ne1O York World says:
THE author has written with hope
full Imagination about the race prob
lem and its possible solution in Amer
ica.** The writer's utter sincerity
maintains for him and his book people
the readers constant interest and con
sideration."
The Ne10 York Sun says:
The Negro problem in the South
has been taken up by a Negro. Mr.
Sutton r. Griggs, in a novel called
"Unfettered.' The author has oc
casion to depict various scenes in
which Negroes are oppressed and NAL

FRUIT TREE SEEDLINGS.
How They Are Raised In the Bis Nur-
series of the Big Eastern
Horticulturists.

Here are a few suggestions on the
raising Of fruit tree seedlings, made by
Joseph Meehan to readers OF the Prac-
tical Farmer. lie says: "Iwill confne
myself chiefly to the apple, pear, cher
ry, plum and peach, as these are the
leading orchard fruits. There are many
nurseries which make a speciality of
fruit trees, coufning their work alto
grther to he production of fruit trees,
and the pan adopted for the raising OF
seedlings by these concerns IL the one
| propose to give. Starting with ap-
PIES, the seeds are usually obtained
from cider mills, where bushels on
bushels are sold. These seeds are
ready about November. and hardly
without exception are held over till
spring. Some soak them, then spread
out on trays and keep them in an ice
house all winter. Others mix them
with slightly damp earth and Place
them in cool cellar. Still others do
not mix them with anything, but keep
them in a COO, damp cellar, where the
seeds will absorb moisture from the
air. No matter in what way kept, one
and all endravor TO get them in the
ground the very first thing in spring,
when, II all is right, the seedlings will
show in a short time. With pear, cher
ry and plum the practice is much the
same as with apple. Cherry and plum
will stand more moisture, and, as
spring approaches, no shells appear
cracking, an examination should be
made by cracking open few. II
kernels are sound and plump a little
more moisture should be provided, as
these pits should be cracking open
when sound. Some nurscrymen prefer
| 10 mix these stone seeds in a heap of
| soil outdoors, leaving them out all win
/ ter and sitting them out before sowing
! them. They are more easily handled
and inspected when under cover"

AUTOS MUST GO SLOWER
ST. PAUL PARK BOAD ACTS
Horse1ess Vehicles Will Be ,Abso-
lutely Barred From the Parks
If Necessary.

The st. Paul aldermen and park board
have taken steps to control the speed OF
autos, the officials deemlng more strin-
gent regulations necessary than are now
IN force. The sanity city park board last
night decided to give the park superin-
tendent absolute power to regulate the
speed of autos In parks, to bar the ma
chimes from certain roads if deemed nee
essary, and as last resort to prohibit
their entering the parks.
Accidents at Como park are given as the
reason for the park boards action. The
speed Of autos will be limited to eight
miles an hour, and If it is found that the
chauffeurs do not observe this rule they
will be barred entirely from the parks.
The st. Paul board of aldermen also
has taken action to prevent reckless driv-
ing of autos. At its last meeting the
board passed an ordinance fixing the max
imum speed of the machines at ten miles
an hour, and requiring the use Of lamps
after sunset. The committee on streets
Of the assembly has indorsed the boards
action.
