Man and Mule.

The mule-he is gentle beast;
And so is man.
He's satisfied to be the least;
And so is man
Like man. he may be taught tricks;
He does his work from to 6;
Tie mule when he gets mad, kicks
And so does man.
The mule-he has load to pull;
And so has man.
He's the happiest when he's full;
And so is man.
Like man, he holds patient poise,
And when work is done will rejoice.
The mule-likes to hear his voice.
And so does man.
The mule-has his fault, tits true;
And so has man.
He does things he should not do;
And So does man.
Like man, he doesn't yearn for style
But wants contentment all the while
The mule-he has a lovely smile,
And so has man.

And so is man.
He eats all kinds of breakfast food,
And so does man.

NEGRO GROWTH PARADOX.
Its City Birth Rate Less Than the
Death, Yet It Increases.

Thu only element in the population of
New York city which has a higher
death rate than a birth rate is the color
ed popula ton. In a year 1,500 colored
children are born in the city of New
York, and 1000 colored persons die here,
a disparity of Importance wnen the
small colored population of New York
is considered and when the Iact is
known that the same disparity between
deaths and births among colored people
exists in many other large cities in the
United States.
The general tendency of the colored
population throughout the whole coun-
try, north and south. is from the rural
into the city districts-from farms to
the city-and should the mortality in
the city be greater than it Is in the
country districts the colored population
like the Indian population In other
days would diminish to the point of ex-
tinction.
In fifty-six of the cities of the coun-
try, fifty recently reported in the CEN
sus office show an excess of deaths
among the negroes. In New Orleans, for
instance, there were. last year, 1,f00
births among the negroes and $500
deaths; in st. Louis. 600 births and l,zUO
deaths in Chicago 400 births and 700
deaths: and so on through the large
cities, the exceptions being chiefly In the
southwest and southern California.
Notwithstanding this, the colored pop
ulation of the United States. which gets
no augmentation whatever from immi-
grafton, continues steadily to increase,
and in a ratio very little less than that
of the white population, added to enor-
mously by newcomers from other lands.
This paradox is explained by the fact
that the birth rate among coiOred people
is very much larger in the country dis
tricts of the south than is the death
rate There is constantly large and
natural increase in the colored popula-
ton in the rural and semi-rural dis
tricts. In percentage it is not high, but
| in totals it is considerable. Colored pen-
pie who flock to the large cities do not
go there in childhood. but when at or
near adult years. Colored girls from
Is to 20 seeking domestic service go to
the large cities, and boys seeking the
attractions of large cities or towns in
preference to life on the farm or plan
/ tation constitute the chief element OF
addition to the colored population OF
towns and cities.
\ Any person who is possessed of the
! idea that the colored population of the
| United States is dying out needs only to
consult the census figures to see his mis-
take. There were $3.50, 900 colored peo-
pie in this country by the census OF
| 1880; there were 100000 by the census
of 1890, and $3.50 900 by the census OF
| 1900 There is no diminution of coloreo
population in the United States. or In
any part of it. despite the figures tbs
big cities show.-New York Sun

A SPANISH PIRATE.
IRv M. Quad.l

[By NJ. Quad.]
One afternoon in the year As09s as
the Jane Snow. of NewburyportS bound
for the West Indies. had sighted Porto
Rico, a pirate brig appeared 10 WIND
ward. She had been so often Described
that there was no mistaking her Sne
was a Spanish craft Familiarity KNOWN
as the Black Devil.
Josiah Marsh was skipper of the
Snow. and his crew numbered twelve
men. AS he had no guns aboard, and
as the craft was a slow sailor, he or
dered out the long boats and every
body got into her. and the Snow was
abandoned. The pirates chased the
long boat for a couple hours. but as
the wind was light they could not come
up with her.
Then they returned TO pick up the
Snow. She was loaded with slaves and
| lumber, and there was little or nothing
aboard of her the fellows could make
! use of. They dared not set fire to her.
and the holes bored in her bottom only
water-logged her. a cat and par
rot were left aboard, and in revenge
the pirates tortured the cat to death
and hung the parrot to one of the
4 beams of the cabin.
AS the long boat with Josiah Marsh
and his crew aboard. ran down through
the Mona Passage, they met the British
frigate Courier. and gave her the news.
They had left the pirate craft forty
miles behind them, but the Englishman
was prompt to go in search. The
Americans asked that they might be
taken aboard and serve until the Black
Devil was destroyed. and their request
was complied with.
In spirit of bravado the pirate captain
had entered her CAPTURE on the log.
| and added that he should cruise for a
week between Porto Rico and Barba-
dos. Accident had changed his plans
however. AS his craft lay alongside OF
the Snow their rigging became entang-
led, and the Black Devil had her fore
mast sprung. She came to anchor I'M
der the lee of one of the Virgin Islands
to repair damages, and had just goI
all autanto when the Courier hove il
sight.
The Englishman knew that he mus
+. disguise his ship if he wished to gel
near the Spaniard. AS he took up the
pursuit, he began to overhaul his top
hamper, and after a few hours. TIT
smart frigate looked as slovenlY a:
any merchantmen afloat. The pirate
let himself be overhauled to within
mile before she flew the black flag, and
as the emblem f1oated to the master
head she fired the first gun. Sh,
mounted twelve guns and had a crew
of 11s men. The frigate mounted
twenty-four guns and had a crew O.

her cable overhauled to run over the rail.
To this cable were tied twenty survivors,
some of them being wounded. They stood
in line clear back to the mainmast, each
one tied by his left wrist, and wnen the
anchor was cut away ali were dragged
overheard with it.
The trial of the pirates lasted about
two weeks and they were given two more
in which to prepare for death. Not one
of them weakened in the slightest and
they sang songs and .Joked with eacn
the moose about bis neck. tbg mate turned
to the officer in charge, of the execution
and said:
Il beg your pardon, hut one thing
