time we do not look for general or

summer of 1902, especially the last

and in the evening on Jonah. Mon
day evening he spoke on Eternity
1t was not until Sunday that lie
had good audiences and those that
heard him we're surprised. This
colored boy began preaching when
two years of age. His father w6s
a carpenter and died when he wes
in his third year when he began
travelling. He has been in SO
states and held services in the lar

OUR MANNERS IN PUBLIC.
Things That Weaken Mans Gallant
Admiration of Woman.

The consequence OF woman's
adopting customs unbecoming to
herself are manifold, says Z. W.
Sherwood in Success. In the first
place she strikes at the most sacred
thing in the universe, mans love
and reverence for women. She
strikes at that primeval instinct,
which is that the strong should
protect the weak; that the lover
should seek the maid, and that he
should kiss whilst she holds the
cheek. Who could in the fashion
BILE circles of today have inspired
Shakespeare to create Viola? or else
have made fair Rosalind say, when
fainting, Il have no doublet and
house in my disposition A young
girl of today would be apt to call
for a sweater, and, alas! would bet
in the lace course language of
Saratoga instead of saying, with
Jessica, charming creature: Il am
never merry when hear sweet mu-
sic" or some such refined remark.
1t would seem sometimes as if that
primeval Eve had been eradicated,
and that Catherine of Russia, Nell
Gwynne and less illustrious exam
piles had been installed in her
place. A very clever literary artist
of today who has written in French
of Eve Victorieuse, has painted
with most consummate shill the
beautiful young American woman
In Paris, her who, partly spoiled
by her indulgent and most chival-
rous American husband (who
thinks whatever she does is right,
is not rightly comprehended in the
Old World, where her mannerisms
are misunderstood.
True delicacy exhibits itself most
significantly in little things; in the
attitude, the way of standing and
of sitting down. Watch a famous
dancer and see how well, how
modestly she sits down. Fanny
Ellsler said she gave five years.
study to the art of sitting down
gracefully. 1t is great thing to do
a little thing well, and we may be
sure that the art of taking seat
'like a lady is not too much
studied by women in public places.
A young woman should remember,
as she enters a crowded theatre,
that she should produce a murmur
of satisfaction from her modest,
shrinking beauty, not a congra-
tulatory gurgle of pleasure at her
air ofimpudence and independence.

of errors and particularly to the
slang expression, "it's up to Cod"
which he used in explaining his

Congress act upon it and give to all worthy
ex-siaves who are in real need pension
sufficient to keep them from suffering and
want. most kindly feeling almost that
of comradeship) prompts us to express
ourselves in this matter realizing the fact
that the Southern slave was not the cause,
by any act of his own, of shedding one
drop of blood in the civil war. On the con-
trary, he remained on the farms, peaceably
and quietly laboring. day by day, without
a murmur, to feed and clothe the Southern
army fighting at the front.
"Since the war he has been law-abiding
and Industrious, and the smallest number
has been guilty of crime. We feel that
the ex-slave and the ex-Confederate SOL

too in very strange relationship-the one
fighting to keep the slave in slavery. the
other by his laborS furnishing the meat
and appliances to carry on this warfare,
without one word of protest or complaint
from him.
