There is a novel and ingenious idea to this Tssaylet which is developed most erIlsa sainingiy.

The working out of the idaa furnishes op@ portnnity for some capital comedy, ana Mir Matthews and Miss Harris work 1t out to fine advantage. The novelty is furnished mainly by the Rice family, which consists of man and his three children. all clever musicians. the chil- dren playing wondrously we'll on Lne violin.

Educated Negro Labor and White Competition.

The morbid fear of the negroes industrial edu-
cation would never have arisen but for the prev
alence of the economic error that the volume of
the worlds work is fixed in quantity, and that
if the negro does a part of it, there will be less Of
it for the white man. But, one mans work does
not reduce the volume of the work open to other
men. Every mans work produces work for all.
Every laborer who is really a producer, repre-
sents a force which is charging the market for
labor. The man who makes a table, broadens the
opportunities of industry behind him and before
him. He helps to make work for the man who
fells the trees, for the man who hauls the trees to
the saw-mill, for those in the mills who dress the
timber for his use, for those who dig and shape
the iron which goes into the mails he drives; he
makes work for the man who provides The glue,
the stains and the varnish, for the man who owns
the table at the shop, for the drummer who tells
about it, for the men who sell food and apparel to
those who handle it and who profit by its repeated
sales from factory to wholesaler, and from the
wholesaler to the retailer, and from the retailer
to the final purchaser. ~The man who makes a
table makes business. The man who makes
shoes or harness or tools or wagons, makes bus1-
ness. The work of the skilled producer does not
restrict the market of labor. 1t enlarges that
market. The friction sometimes due to the ne
gro's possession of a lower standard OF living
passes away as the negro advances IN real edu-
cation and genuine skill. AS he begins to work
productivity, he begins to live better. He IS not
like the myriad labor of the Orient which never
accepts American standards. As the negro goes
up, his standard of living goes up. There will
never be any question about the negro being a
consumemr. He is ever a free spender. 10
strengthen him, upon wise lines, as an American
producer will add not only to his capacity TO
work, but to his capacity to buy, and both what
he produces and what he purchases will directly
contribute to the wealth and peace OF the com
munity and the State.-Rev. Edgar u, Murphy,
Executive Secretary of Southern Education
Board, in "The Task of the South"

Are You Farming for a Living or as a Business?

Are You Farming for a Living or as a Business?
There are two classes of farmers: one which
farms because they do not know how to do any
thing else and because it is the easiest way for
them to make a living and get along somehow
for the time being. The other class farms not SO
much for a living as because it is their chosen
business. They do not think of getting along
somehow, but of getting ahead, accommodating, inn
proving the farm, Increasing it's fertility, all with
the object of making it a better manufacturing
plant and better business proposition.
The man who farms as a business adopts bust
ness methods as far as they are applicable to
farm operations, keeps books, knows his income
and outgo, takes an inventory of stock, has system
in all his methods, and knows approximately what
every crop each year has cost him in cash or it's
equivalent in labor. We have small hopes of the
man who is simply farming as a means of getting
through the word omehow.-Dr. Henry Wallace
in Wallace's Farmer.

The Life That Lies Outside of the Dust and Din.
When the temptation grew too overpowering
&c left his office and went down into the country.
1t always did him good to go there. To be there
was like a plunge in a cool, limpid pool. He had
been so long in the turmoil and strife of the strug-
gle for spccess-for wealth; had been so wholly
surrounded by those who strove as he strove, tear
ing and trampling and rending those who were in
their way, that he had almost lost sight of the
life that lay outside of the dust and din of that
arena. He had almost forgotten that life held
other rewards than riches. He had forgotten the
calm and tranquil region that stretched beyond
the moil and anguish of the strife for gain

B1ue Ridge, and some prominent fnanciers and
society women in New York City. Evidently Mr..
Page has not been favorably impressed by the
-Four Hundred" for his pictures of its gossips
and fatterers, its shams and shallowness, its ava
ricious men and extravagant women, It's gorgeous
functions and vulgar pleasures, make an eloquent
defense of the simple life. The book is more am
bilious, more complicated, than "Red Rock and
deals more largely with the darker aspects of life.
But in every case meanness is despicable and un-
lovely. The book is larger than the average novel,
and in the earlier part there are some evidences
of padding, but in the end nearly every actor
seems essential to the completeness of the picture.
THE NATURE STUDY IDEA. By Prof. Lib
erty H. Bailey. Cloth. $1.OO. Doubleday,
Page & Co.,, Publishers, New York City.
A teacher who has read our copy of this little
book and is greatly pleased with it, has prepared
for us the following review notice:
Nature study is a comparatively recent move
ment in the schools of the country, but has proved
of such great value that it is now more widely dis
cussed than almost any other educational subject.
DR.. Bailey, of Cornell University, in an attractive
volume of 159 pages, gives his readers a history
of the movement and a clear and definite idea of
its purpose and spirit. He says: "Of late years
there has been a rapidly growing feeling that we
must live closer to nature; and we must p%erforce
begin with the child. We attempt to teach this
nature-love in the schools, and we call the effort
nature-study. It would be better if it we're called
nature-sympathy." He shows that to win happi-
ness we must be in sympathy with, and love our
environments. Hence in the rural ditricts espe-
cially this appreciation of nature will add much
to ones ability to get the best there is in life. He
hopes, too, that by i~nstilling into the school chill
dren an early love and admiration for the nature
world, they may be less willing to leave the coun-
try for the city.
DR.. Bailey is a forceful and charming writer,
and while his Mature Study Idea" was written
primarily for teachers it is so very practical and
suggestive that every one interested in education
will find in it many interesting suggestions along
the line of child development.

The time for the annual meeting of the State
Farmers Alliance at Hillsboro-August II, u
and 13-is now near at hand. An especially at
t~ractive program is being prepared, and it is be-
ieved that this will be one of the most interest
ing and profitable sessions ever held. No county
in which an organization exists should fail to be
represented. If any County Alliance failed to
meet at the regular time, a special meeting should
be called at once to elect officers and to send a
delegate to the Hillsboro meeting. 1t is impor-
tant that this matter have prompt attention.

Dissolution of Partnership

A game Of basket ball was played on
the high school grounds last Saturday
afternoon between the Hannaford and
Cooperstown girls. Prof. Hartman
officiated as referee and he had no time
to rubber as the girls kept him busy
all the time. We are not much on
basket ball SO cannot say much about
it and not being present cannot give a
detail of the game. We are told that
the girls made plenty of fouls and are
not yet thoroughly master of the rules
of the game, however, both sides played
well for the first game and with prac.
tice will put up a good game. The
girls get just as excitedov their play
ing as the boys do over baseball and
the roofing on both sides was vigorous.
The game ended in favor of Coopers-
town, score II to4.

"METEoR" WRECKED.
Frisco Fast Train Wrecked and Many
Lives Lost.
Ten killed and sixteen injured.

Ten killed and sixteen injured.
This, in brief, is the havoc
wrought in wreck on the Frisco
at Godfrey, a small station this
side of Fort Scott, early Monday
morning.
The Frisco's fast train the "Mete-
or" bound for Kansas City from
Oklahoma City, one of the most
sumptuously equipped in the SER
vice of any western railroad, went
into an open switch.
The Meteor" was running behind
schedule time, and was clipping
along at fifty mile per hour when
the fatal crash came.
A freight train was standing on
the main line, being too long to get
onto the siding, and flagman was
sent back to protect the coming
meteor" but he evidently neglected
his duty.
The alleged negligent flagman is
now supposed to be in hiding.
The Meteor" ran 100 feet into
passing track when the engine
turned over.
The baggage car was thrown fifty
feet beyond the engine, entirely off
of the right of way.
The com bination smoker and
mail car was literally smashed into
splinters.
The chair car was also demol-
ished.
As if the horror was not already
intense enough, fire started in the
wreckage of the mail car.
Passengers formed bucket brig
ade and conquered the blaze.
The length of the waiting freight
train was such that it could not be
handled conveniently on the switch,
so it was arranged to hold the
freight on the main track and send
the passenger train around by way
of the switch track.
The speed of the Meteor" was so
great that it failed to keep to the
track in going from main track to
switch.
