I used to know was old enough to have
written an article so scientific, so
philosophical, so Huxleylike on the ra-
ces of mankind. Most of the article is
an analytical history Of the principal
races and the causes that contributes
to their advancement or their decay.
The latter part deals gently and fair
ly with the negro and our efforts to
elevate and refine him by education.
From Mr.. Orme's viewpoint and the
laws Of ethnology and biology this
cannot be done and the effort viii be
in vain. But l have not time or space
to review his admirable treatise. Let
our thoughtful men, our wise men, our
learned professors in the college read
It and they will find abundant food
for thought and serious reflection. Mr..
Orme seems as familiar with enthno-
logy, biology, anthropology, sociology
and all the other ologies as Huxley or
Humboldt or Darwin. We old veterans
are pleased to see our young men TAX
ing hold Of these things. Ever since the
war our people have seemed, almost
paralyzed for fear Of making their con-
dition more intolerable by talking but
Of late there Is a renewal Of independ-
ence and younger men are coming to
the front. The sale of Henry R. Jack
sons great speech on "The Wanderer"
has exceeded my expectations and It
was young man who projected that
not for money but for the diffusion OF
knowledge.
And here is long article in Des
Moines paper from a woman who has
been recently travelling through Texas
hunting for something she wanted to
find and she found it. It was some very
high weeds In the front yard of one
homeland at another house was wo-
man sitting on log dipping snuf and
she had lost all her front teeth. An
other discovery was that Texas women
don't do anything They won't work
the garden or raise chickens or churn
the butter and II one was caught at 1t
she would be taken up and put In q
glass case and sent to the st. Louis
fair as a curiosity. What malignant
slanderer she Is. She winds up by say
ing that the people there hate the
negro so bad that II the whole race
had but one neck they would chop 1t
of. / know Texas from east to west
and north to south and the people VIII
average we'll with the better class In
the older States. When will these SLAM
ders cease? The March number OF The
Review of Reviews has a most excel
lent editorial on the South and her
people. It is kind and considerate
until it gets to Roosevelt and it gives
him the most falsome praise and de-
clares that he is our friend. But | want
Mr.. Shaw to tell .me II he can about
when will Roosevelt retract his pub
lished slanders of Jefferson Davis and
make an apology to his wodiw. That's
what I want to know and until he does
that no words of praise will prove him :
to be either gentleman or a friend.

REBUILDING A TREE.
Broken Down by an Ice Storm, Il 10
in Its OIdtime Beauty.

Broken DOWn py OH tSS Seo'HJ - -
in Its oIdtime Beauty.
Every passing storm seemed to
wreak its vengeance on the big elm
tree that grew by the roadside. One
late winter morning we awoke to find
the world transformed by Ice on every
tree and bush. In wonder and amaze
ment we looked abroad. But in front
Of us the elm tree lay shapeless
mass, broken and splintsred by the;
weight Of ice. Already the tree he'd
been endeared to us by its many
hardships, in which all the family had
sympathized. The tree must not
perish now.
With ropes and pulleys the great
limbs, some of them now several
inches in diameter, were drawn back
to their places; for every one Of
them stn, clung TO the parent stock
by a strip of bark and wood at its
base Iron bolts were made from
half inch rode, long enough to reach
through branch and stock just above
the split. With long augur. half inch
holes were bored through the tree the
bolts driven in tight and then drawn
up by means of nut and thread. A
large head and washer, and another
washer under the nut at the other
end, prevented the ends Of the bolt
from drawing into the wood. SO
tightly was the branch drawn to the
trunk that no gaping crack was left.
and the crease was heremetically
sealed with melted wax. Then higher
up, between brancher two or three
feet apart, other rods were run to
hold all the members in place. We
knew that If the bolts fitted tightly in
their holes no harm would come to the
tree; but that If bands were placed
about the branches they would soon
crease and girdle the parts and work
much harm When the storm hadf
passed the dear tree stood in its cusf
tomary mood, and all the following
summer it grew as If with renewed
rmination-Country Life In

Evansville Farmers Club.

Col. w. S: Powell entertained the
Evansville Farmers Club at "Llangallen, u
his beautiful country, home at Annapolis
Junction on Thursday last. 1t was the
nineteenth anniversary of the organiza'
ton of the club. Mr.. Lloyd E. Dorsey
president, with DR.. Joseph R. Owens Sec
rotary. Other members present were L.
E. Burke, Edmund Pendleton, John
Bowie, John Snowden, s. w. Beall, Lu.

the host. The guests we're: Director H
J. Patterson, of the Maryland Experiment
Station; Profs. T. H. Spence, vice-presi-
dent of the Maryland Agricultural Col
lege; Mr.. j. S. Robinson, Edward B
Powell, Louis T. Haslup, Frank W
Powell, E. A. Fuller, and DR.. T. w
Linthicum.
Colonel Powell made an address on
subjects of interest to farmers. Among
other things he said the farmers have
markets for all their products, but can
not secure labor to cultivate their lands
II believe" he added, cit would be good
idea to let the Chinese come in to work
our farms. They work intelligently and
economically, and it no harder to boss a
large crowd of laborers than it is a few
For the past 20 years there has been a
decrease in our labor, our acreage has de-
creased and the PERCENTAGE of all crops
diminished.''
Mr.. Stanley contended that the farmers
would not, or could not, pay the wages
| demanded. He thought that negro labor
was getting unreliable, at least along
agricultural lines. The general sentiment
of the club, expressed by DR.. j. R. Owens
was in opposition to the Government
opening up Western land. Dr.. Owens
was satisfied that Chinese labor would be
valuable, and could not understand why
the door was shut against it. President
Dorsey contended that the farmers would
never get Chinese labor, because the
politicians were opposed to getting any
body in the country not entitled to stuff
rage.
Mr. W. R. Bendz, of Beltsville, was
elected a member of the club. President
L. E. Dorsey and Secretary Joseph R
Owens were re elected for the ensuing
year.

Death Of Mr.. William s. RyOn

Mr. William Smith Ryon, well-known
and highly esteemed citizen of Noting
ham district, this county, died suddenly
at lis home near Groom, on Tuesday morn
ing, from heart failure. The deceased
had been suffering from disease of the
heart for about a year, but was able to go
about, and his sudden death was great
shock to his aged wife and to his family
and friends He was sixty-four years Of
age, and had reared large family, to
whose comfort and welfare he devoted
the best energies Of his useful life. In
dustrous in a marked degree, prudent
and practical, he usually succeeded in his
efforts; his ripe judgment was much re-
srected and his advice often sought. He
was devoted husband and parent, and
the reverence and love of his children
bear evidence of his affection for them
and of the uprightness of his life and the
strength of his character.
Mr.. Ryon never held public office,
having devoted his life to farming. In
politics he was Republican and exercised
much influence in the party. A widow
and eleven children survive him. The
latter are: Dr.. Nelson A. Ryon, Deputy
Collector of Customs at Baltimore Richard
N. Ryon, County Treasurer; John W.
Ryon, mail clerk on the Pope's Greek
Branch of the P. B. & W. railroad; William
S. Ryon, Charles A. Ryon, James p. Ryon,
Frederick B. Ryon, Samuel G. Ryon, E.
Harry Ryon, A. Pinkney Ryon and Miss
Kate Ryon.
The funeral took place from St. Thomas
Church, Groom, yesterday, Rev. James B.
Craighill, of Forestville, officiating, and
was largely attended.
