NEGRO AS
PARTISAN
Congregation Unifes Against
Minister Who Would Sun-
port Parker. Saving of
Time in Ne w York Sub way

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. "a
That the negro is a strong parti-
san, especially in this presidential
campaign, is shown by the determi-
nation of practically the entire cor
~gregation of the Bridge Street Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal church to
effect the removal Of DR.. S. Timothy
Tice as presiding elder of the Greater
New York District of the A. M. E.
church, which includes all the
churches of that denomination in
Greater New York and on Long Is
land. This condition of things Is due
10 the fact that recently DR.. Tice
wrote a letter to a Brooklyn newspaper
declaring that he would support
Judge Parker, and that there was no
good reason why negro men should
vote for republican candidates In the
ensuing election. DR.. Tees letter
created much Of a sensation among
the colored people, as he is next in
authority to Bishop Arnett.
William Waldorf Astor and John
Jacob Astor considered the 200 acres
of swamp land between Pelham and
Bronx Parks so worthless that they
wouldn't touch 1t with a pair of coal
1ongs, but acquired properties all
around it and improved. The swamps
of Pelham were passed by with up
turned nose and averted mien by ever :
body but John B. Mcdonald, the con.
tractor, who for eight years has been
building the Jerome Reservoir. He
took it out of the cold world for $140,-
900, and thereby hangs a tale. Mr.. Nc
Donald didn't want the land, except
as a place to throw dirt out of the
reservoir, and he interested several
friends, among them said to be Rich
ard Croker, in a new idea. Following
idea, the swamp land has now
been filled up and graded to the prop
er level, and this tract, bordering on
beautiful Pelham Parkway, is now
worth $4,000, 900 for residence pur.
poses. Profit in eight years. s3,O0O,-

When Patience Is Hard For the
strenuous, Energetic Mortal.
We are all familiar with the impa.
tience which comes naturally with age
and failing health, the intolerance OF
little hindrances, the inconsequence in
argument, the petulance in comment,
which are the first signs of senlllty.
But there is another kind of impotence
which has n wholly different meaning.
1t comes to the high spirited, strenuous
man when he feels the hand of age on
him or that premonltlon of death which
the human body in some hidden way
can give to its owner. A man whose
soul is centered on great ideal to
which his LIES work has been given
chafes at the thought that he must be
taken before seeing its realization. A
man, again, of fiery energy whose days
have been spent in conflicts may redou-
ble his efforts at the prospect Of their
cessation aud show an almost hyster.

a commonplace of literature. The men

The chef on one Of the Pennsylvania
dining cars was particularly laxative
the other day. The train was waiting
for Its Philadelphia passengers, and
every table in the diner was occupied.
The second call of Baltimore passen-

when she comes to stop they start to
talk and hardly touch n bite. It's the
motion of the moving train that does
it. Now, you just watch them and see

Just then the train pulled out, and
the observer saw a sight which firmly
convinced him that his informant had

The Home Ia For use.

Neatness in the home is one thing and
state of perpetual house cleaning
quite another. Out of this latter grows
by degrees the feeling that certain
things and apartments are too good for
daily use. Nothing should be bought
which is considered too fine for the full
est domestic appropriation. Home is
not name nor a form nor a routine.
1t is spirit, a presence, n principle.
Material and method will not and can
not make It. 1t must get lis light and
sweetness from those who lnhablt it
from flowers and sunshine, from the
sympathetic natures which in their ex.
ercisc Of sympathy can lay aside tho
tyranny Of the broom and the awful
duty Of endless scrubbing.

Grose gives practically the same sto.
ry in his Classical Dictionary of the

misadventure to an Irish soldier of the
imperial Austrian service in a battle
against the Turks. The closing scene
he varies thus:

the other. "Arrah," said lie, "but he
