 A well-known literary woman went over to Michigan last week to prepare her summer cottage for occupancy during the summer Before going she made ar engagements with her husband to have a lot of household goods packed and for warded by steamer,
 For some reason the shipment was delaved. and she wrote inquiring the cause of the delay.

 Coming back from the river he stopped at A telegraph office and sent the message as requested.
 "Lares and Penates on board boat he said. twill arrive tomorrow morning. And this was the way the telegram read when the boy brought 1t to the wait ing woman in the little Michigan town: "I,ard and Peanuts on board boat. Will arrive tomorrow morning"

 It Is a primal postulate of all our race discussions that the negro Is an undevel- oped, not an inferior race. and to this basic error may be attributed much os the confusion which surrounds the entire subject.
 We have too long been guilty of the folly of attempting to legislate the negro into white man. and a pyramid of fail, ures has apparently not yet convinced us of the futulity of the undertaking. We have ignored the scientific truth of thu ethntc differences among the human fam fly, and have lhiindly disregarded the fac
