When Animals Faint.

The little gray dog tumbIed head
long into the area, and the maid who
happened to be standing there closed
the gate. When the dog saw she was
safe from her two legged pursuers she
toppled over in a dead faint. At any
rate, the maid insisted that she faint
ed. The bOarders, who crowded out
into the area to help bring the little
animal to, derided the assertion, but
the doctor that finally Joined the group
said there was nothing preposterous
about It.
''Of course she tainted" he said.
Lots of animals faint Cats and dogs
and even more stolid animals keel
over in moments Of fear and exhaus-
ton. In the case Of horses the pros
tratiOn is generally attributed to sun
stroke, but quite often they are knock
ed out by plain, everyday faint in
stead of atmOspherical excesses. Fowls
faint too, and the birds Of the air. In
fact, it is hard to find any living crea-
ture that doesn't tOpple over in crucial
circumstances. If the Honess of the
jungle We're up on etiquette she would
be just as much justified in carrying
camphOr bottle as the finest lady in
the land.'-New York Press.

ANOTHER CoLoRED BANK.

At the present rate of increase there
will be in the neighborhood of twenty
coIored banks represented at the Ma
tionaI Negro Business League, which
meets in Indianapolis, Ind, the latter
part of August of this year. The
latest bank established by coIored men
is located at Spartansburg, s. c. It's
name is the Spartan Savings and Loan
Company, and it starts out with
capital stock of $4,000, more than half
of which has been paid in. 1t is back
ed up by the weIl-to-do and most sue
cessfuI cOlOred men in and around
Spartansburg, and the prospects are
very bright for it's success and rapid
growth.
What the colOred business men have
done in Spartansburg and other COM
munities where colored banking insti-
tutiOns have been established, they
can do in any city where there are any
number of coIored people. The time is
ripe and the race is on the alert now
to support any kind of business enter
prises established by colored men. The
people only want their moneys worth
and an opportunity to spend it with
men of their own race.
More than one thousand delegates
will attend the next meeting Of the
BusinessLeague, of which DR.. Booker
T. Washington is President.

Faculty of Imitation In Animals.

Faculty of Imitation In Animals.
Some animals have wonderful powers
Of imitation. Dogs brought up in the
company of cats have been known to
acquire the trick of licking the paws
and then washing the face. When a
cat has been taught to sit up for food
her kittens have been known to imi-
tate her action. Darwin tells Of a cat
that was in the habit of putting her
paw into the mouth of a narrow milk
pitcher every time she got the chance
and then licking the cream off her paw.
Her kitten soon learned the same trick.
A lady tells of a rabbit that she keeps
in a cage with a monkey and says that
Bunnie has caught many of the
monkeys ways. 1t is said that starv-
ing pigeons that have been brought Gp
on grain will not eat peas to save their
lives, but that if pea eating pigeons are
put with them they follow their ex-
ample and eat peas.-Detroit News

ED" MORRIS DEFEATED.

One of the gratifying surprises OF
the primaries was the overthrow Of
Attorney ED" Morris in the fourth
primary district of the Second Ward.
Morris. known as the king of the
black belt through his previous abi1-
ty to deliver the cOlOred vote to Judge
Hanecy and the LOTimer machine, was
defeated by Robert c. Motifs and Ed
ward Green in his own primary dis
trict, after one of the bitterest fights
in the history of the ward. His igno-
minious defeat was the first serious
break in the Hanecy control of the
Second Ward.
Norris was one of the legislators
most strongly condemned by the Legis-
Iatfve Voters League, having been one
Of Congressman Lorimer's most trusted
Iieutenants in the manipulation OF oo-
noxious legislation. The fight between
Motifs and Morris became so bitter IN
the campaign that Norris drew re
volver on his opponent and threatened
to kill him.-Rec0rd Herald.

ly have matched mis- speed. Bgad, he

aged friend, John Fitzhugh, Esq, who

abouts who could come near him.
There was young Langhorn Dade or
WestmOreIand, a confOunded, clean
made, tight young fellow and mighty
swift runner, too; but, then, he was no
match for George. Langy, indeed, did
not like to give up and would braS
that sometimes he had brought George
to tie. But 1 believe he was mistak-

many a time, and George always beat
him easy enough"
