Now that Gen. Buffers familiar

his indomitable will and courage had

are in order. Among others, the fol-

ben" received his college educa-

Waterville as good-natured, studious
youth, and rather fond of a joke.
One day there came to that small
Maine village jeweler from Boston,

hood of the college. He had rather

arrogance managed to bring upon his

Suddenly there popped into Ben's
mind a regulation of the faculty, in
the terms of which it was forbidden
that students room should be enter

its occupant was engaged in prayer.
So, dropping on his knees near the
door, Ben commenced long petition,

Soon steps were heard in the hall,
which stopped in front of his ROOM
What was that that reached them
through the keyhole? A voice, raised
in earnest prayer seeking forgiveness
of sins past, present and future, for
blessings on those present and on
those who would fain be within. Mean
time the sign was slowly but surely
burning, while the labor of his exer-
ton was bringing out the perspiration
on Ben's brow.
The faculty waited with bowed head
for the conclusion of his apparently
interminable prayer.
At last it came, and at the follow
ing words the door opened, exposing
the pious inmates just rising from
their knees:

1t Is work or determination for the
African elephant The fiat has gone
forth. The government of the Congo
Free State has just entered into an
agreement with the French National
society, by which the latter organiza-
ton undertakes to try and tame the
African elephant of the Dark CONT
nent and reduce him to a state of
bondage which shall render him, like
his Asiatic brother. a valuable help
to the colonist and explorer. So far
all attempts to tame the creature
have proved futile. But now it is
proposed to catch him young and
bring him up to domestic and indus
trious habits Systematically.
The Asiatic elephant, as is well
known, can be trained to do every
thing, from watching the baby to pill
ing teak-wood and hauling great guns.
But the African variety has so far re-
fused to submit to mans domination.
Death is the only thing he will receive
at his hands The result is that, at
the present rate of killing, the ele-
plants in the Congo Free State will,
1t is estimated, all be exterminated in
eight or ten years. 1t is a pity that
the systematic movement to domesti-
cate the animal should have been de-
layed until the race is almost wiped
out.

Free State, now proposes, in order

A SHATTERED IDOL.

Not very long ago Booker T. Wash
ington was the idol of his race For
wears he has been engaged in giving
industrial education to the colored
man. and his work has attained ex-
tensiye proportions.
Humility. industry and thrift are
the cardinal principles of his doe
trine, and his efforts have been di-
rected along the lines of teaching the
colored man the sciences of farm
ing and mechanics in preference to
training them for the higher profess
sions. He has been looked upon as
leader of his race and until recent
without question. Recently. how
ever. he has encountered the opposi-
ton of certain element of the col
ored people. and few days ago in
the city OF Boston he was unable to
proceed with lecture until the po-
created by a portion of his colored
audience.
An element among the colored peo-
mle no longer accept his theory Of
what is best for their welfare and in
stead of accepting his industrial ed
ucation for the colored youth. they
demand the higher education re-
orirel to give them entry into the
HIGHEST professional and political life.
The reason for this change of SEN
timent is not hard to find as it comes
no doubt, from the DE- claration Of
President Roosevelt that the door of
| opportunity 10 the highest position
in the land should be open to the
| colored man. This declaration has
| been accepted by many of the color
| Vi r. as meaning that they have
only to try in order to reach the top
hence their disdain for the more
humble walks of life.
It is safe to say that the element
demanding higher education is made
up of those knowing least about it
and the riotous element in the Ros
ton audience was no doubt compose cd
Of those incapable of approaching
the great work being done by Booker
Washington.
Mr. Roosevelt unwittingly fred ths
straw of discomfort in the colored
mind by his attitude toward the race
and as prophesied by the Bee. the
colored man is finding it a hindrance
rather than a help to his progress.

relations Will soon be established be-
tween the vatican and the Italian
government 1t is the general belief
that Pope Plus Y. will soon do away
with the fiction of being prisoner
in the vatican grounds and such ac-
ton if taken. will BE- a virtual decla-
ration that the church has no longer
any desire to regain temporal power.
The efforts of the papal court in
the past TO regain temporal control
over italian states have done more
than any other agency to prejudice
the protestants of America against
Tie Catholic church.
One of the cardinal principles Of
our government is complete separa-
ton of church and state, and the ex-
istence of the A. P. A. craze and
other forms of opposition to the
Catholic church were caused, no
doubt. by the fear that the church
was being used for the purpose Of
securing control of the government.
When that fear mas been dispelled
by the church combining its work to
spiritual matters. a great obstacle
to the development of the church in
America will have been removed and
if the new pope accomplishes this
result his reign will indeed be
memorable one.
