The minister was expecting a few
visitors that evening, and remembering
the greenness of his servant personally
looked after the arrangements for the
few light refreshments he was to serve
ms. guests. Among other things he
cracked big bowl of nuts and placed
them on the buffet. When the prop
er time came for passing around his
little feast he missed the nuts. Being
wise man, he said nothing at the
time. When the company had gone,
however, he interviewed the green
servant.
"Nora, what did you do with those
nuts I cracked?" he asked.
"Shure an doan know wot yer
mean," said Nora.
Eyes, you do, too" he said, sternly.
''Those nuts put on the buffet"
"Oh, is that wot yer mean? Well,
sor, they was no good. They was all
cracked up, and threw 'em in tn 1ire." !"

I got up after q few days, and let

pick and scratch himself. He was
then ten months old, and the girl
had paid more attention to him than
to any of the others. Charlie was fret

pertinently:

ed with disadvantages, when we compare
our condition and opportunities with those
OF the Jew in many parts of Europe IT is
easy to see that almost every opportunity
denied the Jews is open to u.s."
That is a very striking comparison. For
centuries the Jews all over Europe were
subjected to an oppression far more cruel
than the negroes in this country. While
they were not in actual slavery their con-
dition was in many respects worse, for
they did not have the protection an owner
gave his slaves. They We're kicked and
cuffed about by every one; their property
was at all times liable to be wrenched
from them, and the display of wealth by
Jew was the signal for all manner of
vultures to pounce down upon him and
probably the first was the Government it
self. No one knew at what moment a

ly insensate charge Millions of Jews
were murdered in one country or another
upon the pretext that their presence was
an offense to God, and therefore the cause
of some trouble which happened then to
be affecting that particular community.
In spite of all this the Jews went on
living in a lawabiding manner, accumu-
lating property, and whenever opportu
nifty offered being of service to the city

qualities extorted farer treatment and the

of the American negroes. Every negro
can work at the calling he desires. He is
assured of his wages when due; he can
own all the land and other property he
can pay for, and the laws will protect
him in its enjoyment His life is as care
fully protected as white mans, and his
religion is never interfered with. Not
withstanding the great progress in regard
to the Jews in much of Europe, the negro
is much better off than the Jews are in
Russia. Rumania, Servia, and some other
countries.

RETIREMENT OF SECRETARY ROOT.

In the retirement of Secretary Root the
country loses the greatest Secretary of
War it has had since Stanton, and the
one who has rendered it the most service.
To none of his predecessors, since or be-
fore Stanton, has the opportunity come
to play SO great a part as he, and he has
been the man for the opportunity. A
man of commanding ability, he took hold
of the War Department with quite I'M
usual determination to learn its workings
and master its business, and in this he
succeeded. Although the Department was
burdened with extraordinary problems
arising out of the Spanish War and the
acquisition of our possessions beyond the
sea, all of which he had to administer, he
grappled with every new and perplexing
problem with resolution and ability, and
his solution of it has met with general ap-
prevail. While doing this he found time
to reorganize the Army, and place it upon
a footing which it is hoped will be better
than it ever has enjoyed. 1t is too early
to say how the reorganization will work,
but at present the outlook is very hopeful
for marked improvement in the admin
istration of the military establishment of
the United States. None of the Secre-
taries of War, except Stanton, had to deal
with such momentous and trying ques-
ton. Even those Secretaries who were
in Office at the time of the War Of 1912
and that with Mexico had far less gi-
gantic tasks before them, nor did they ac-
quit themselves nearly SO well in what
they had to do. The War of 1912 was not
a very large affair, but it was badly mis-
managed from start to finish at the Wash
ingtOn end, and what little success was
achieved on land was rather in opposition
to the War Departments plans and orders
than in harmony with them. 1t was the
same with the Mexican War. The good
generalship of Scott and Taylor and the
splendid fighting Of the American soldiers
brought success to our armies, which the
War Departments management did not
deserve. On the other hand, Secretary
Root had definite plans and ideas as to
what should be done. and the operations
were in accordance with these, and every
time resulted in unusual success.
The success of our armies in the Philip.
pines and China are startling to any read.
er of history, and large portion of the
credit for the same is due to the efficient
Secretary of War.
Mr.. Root retires because holding Office
was a personal sacrifice to him, and hav
ing brilliantly accomplished all the worl
that is before him he returns to his chosen
profession to achieve new success there
having only the reward of serving hi.
country well at q momentous period.

SOUND ADVICE TO THE NEGRO.

Prof, Booker T. Washington's address
to the Negro Business Mems League,
which met at Nashville, abounded In that
sterling good sense which has made him
easily the foremost man of his race to-day.
He said:
"We shall succeed in winning our way
into the confidence and esteem Of the
American people just in proportion as we
show ourselves valuable to the community
in which we live in all the common indus
tries. in commerce, in the welfare of the
State and in the manifestation of the
highest character. The community does
not fear as rule the vote of the man, no
matter what his color, who is large tax
payer. 1t is not the negro who owns a
successful business or works at trade
who is charged with crime"
That is it in nutshell. One negro
successfully managing a farm. factory or
