Amanda Smiths Work

Amanda smith. who has at various
times conducted revival meetings an
over the country. is a colored woman
and unique character. Both she and
her late husband, who was for many
years pastor OF the African Methodist
Episcopal church IN Philadelphia, were
born and lived as slaves. Tney early
became imbued with that spirit Of
simple piety which characterized the
Methodists among the colored race in
the days just preceding and following
the war. Mrs. Smith is a product of
the campmeeting days, when the whole
district for miles around would assem-
BILE for days and weeks to hold SER
vices that are seldom eQualled for fer
vor at the present time. In person she
/ is tail and angular being unlike the
common idea of the black nanny
/ several years ago she founded alone in
I Chicago an orphanage which now cares
] for between thirty and forty forsaken
black children taken off the street.

CHATS WITH
THE FAIR SEX

by being in the best condition ourselves
can we give the proper heritage to a
child. To bring a being into the world
and handicap him by your own follies
ana neghgences is a poor trick; and
yet it is just the trick that nine-tenths
OF the parents play on their offspring.
Treat your child at least as we'll as
you would a fellow man, ava be
thoughtful Of his future. Then. having
once given him the good heritage, see
to it that his home life shall be such
that his mental and moral nature may
be rightfully developed. Sick or weak
/ ly children viii i'm their turn produce
weaklings; halting, cowardly natures
lwill have children who are dwarfed in
the same way; and instead Of the race
being helped by these, its general aver
age will be lowered. Consider, then,
your duty to your children through
yourself Live in youth and manhood
the sRnest. cheerfullest and fullest life,
and make your home reflect these vir-
tues. So shall your children be in
truth the gift Of God, and you can say
with the Psalmist Happy is the man
that hath his quver full Of them
Woman's Home Companion.

Their Quota at So Each.
Philadelphia, Oct 2l.--1t has been
decided by the Athletic Association
of the University of Pennsylvania that
the Army and Navy football game TO
be played on Franklin Field on No
vember 20 shall be not only for the
glory Of the army OF the navy. but also
for charity This decision Is the re-
suit OF the great dificulty the Athletic
Association has experienced in salts
factorily distributing its share OF the
tickets. Heretofore no admission has
been charged to see the game, the ad-
mission cards, about 21,000 In mum
Der, being divided equally between the
West Point aud Annapolis Academies
and the University of Pennsylvania
which in turn distributed them among
friends Of the institutions This year
the two academies will receive their
portions Of tickets as heretofore, but
the more than 600O cards allotted Ia
Pennsylvania win be sold az probably
81 each and the proceeds turned over
for the benefit Of widows and orphans
Of soldiers and sailors. This does not
find favor with many members Of the
association and others.

isnment. but he was unable TO land a
decisive blow, and as the final bell
