For , Eaonth OF more these childrea

The bantam hen to isy Der litter and
hatch her little bfood. aud this norm
ing the telephone bell rang f~uriously
ard Il said; -Our bsntam hen hAs
h~atched." and soon they came ruuning
10 tell " about them. but they didn't
stag ave minutes. They had to 70
back and look alter the bantAmA.
Well there Is nothing prettier IN all
nature than a little brood Of bantam
chickens and my faith = they we're
created specially 80 make little chill
dren happy. Il seems that they orig
mated Ia a little town Of that name Oh
The hisnd Of Java and have been trans-
planted 10 other countries. They ~ =

little children come 20 see me every
day and 20 comfort me while / am sick
and their presence Is the best medicine
I have found. The happiness Of our
children Is the biggest thing ia life and
my desire 10 live Is mainly for their
sake. The papers are full OF big
things. but they won't compare with
The little ones.
Clark Howell weata q thousand miles
10 make a big speech about Grant.
That MS all right have more re-
spect for Gen. Grants aeIhoFy THAI
for any big man who was on that side.
but | still fail 20 understand how Lin
coin came 20 appoint a slave holder a.
general Of the army. But time keeps
rolling on and Grants attitude on the
race problem seems 10 be the popular
enc now among northern brethren.
The esnsgs aad the result Of negro educ
cation has at last convinced the negro
lovers Of tkeir mistake.
l couldn't imagine What Booker
Washington VA 20 DO with that $780,
Ooo Of Carnegie's last gift. but ! see
By ilocker's late card he is going 20 ex-
pend il in manufacturing tooth
brushes and be says be can reform the
whole race BY supplying them with
looth brushes. That Is all right-any-
thing TO gst rid Of the money that
keeps ON piiing up He might add q
aide factory for toothpicks.
But. speaking about Gen. Grant re-
mind me Of his magnificent tomb At
Grant park. and that reminds me OF q
good thing on one Of my boys who,
when In New York. not long ago, was
invited by somc cOng1nial friends TO
take q ride with them and see the
tomb They STOPPED In front and my
boy heased = sigh and said: ~fes,
that's old Bob Iee-the greatest Sui-
der who ever lived. and there's what
be said az ApPematox when be gave
GrzAt back bis sword. Let ux have
peace. when informed ~ his mis-
take he said. We'll. ! wasn't there. Of
course. bat my father was. and that's
what hsppened so he told me. Gen
Grant surrendered his sword 10 Gen.
Lee and old Hob gave il back 10 him
and said. Let us have peace.
But We want NO mistake made about
the negroes down here in Dixie. We
want no more slaves. We wonldu't
have one a. a free gift. We are ready
TO give them away 10 anybody who
wants them. The last census report
says the negro Is much the most cFiza-
inal Of cur population and Is increas-
sng IL crime with fearful rapidity. The
Hegross who can read ana write Mre far
mere criminal than those Who cannot.
The negro Is four ard onc-hals times
ss criminal in New England. where he
Is educated. as he Is IL the soath. where
be has not been educated. What Is to
be done about shiss Tooth brushes.
SAYS Booker Washington. Surely the
man WAS joking. but that's the way il
