OVATION TO A NEGRO
Booker T. Washington Accorded I'm.

PASSIONATE APPEAL FOR HIS RACE.
Said That Congo State Soldiers

Hands Up to Dry-Reference
to America.

Boston, Oct. SIN brief after-din'
ner speech delivered before the Inter.
national Peace congress last might
Booker T. Washington arraigned the
Belgium government for the alleged
outrages in the Congo Free State, de-
clared that he had evidence of abuse
and cruelty and said that state OF
! affairs existed that was blot on mod
ern civilization. Introducing Mr..
Washington, Robert Treat Paine, presi-
dent Of the congress and POSTMASTER
of the evening, referred 10 him as
"honored almost universally through
out the country, but especially in Bos-
ton" At this the distinguished COM
pany rose and greeted Mr.. Washing
ton as 1t did no other guest of the even
ing. Mr.. Washington was seated at the
head table beside Miss Lund, daughter
of Herr John Lund, of Norway. After
acknowledging the unusual and spon-
taneous reception Mr. Washington at
once plunged into an earnest denun-
citation Of the wrongs, which he al
legged were perpetrated on the blacks
of the Congo Free State.
II have testimony direct" he said,
from DR.. Shepard and from the lips
of DR.. Morrison, two men who have
gone into the Congo Free State to work
among their own people, and whose
story Of sacrifice Is one of the dramatic
incidents of history. The influence
of the civilized world should be felt
and should free these people from the
barbarities they are now suffering.
Their villages have been burned, their
people murdered and manned. DR..
Sheppard has seen with his own eyes
in one village 81 human hands hung up
to dry to be presented to the Belgian
authorities to show that the soldiers
did their duty. And these atroci-
ties are committed for the sake
Of wealth and self-aggrandizement.

my people in Africa. speak for them;

"A business matter took me out west last fall," said the well-known att torney, who was in reminiscent mood, relates the Detroit Free Press, 'and 1 took advantage of the opportunity to make a trip into the mountains for weeks hunting. I hired an old man to act as guide and do the cooking, and I enjoyed myself to the utmost. The mountains were full of big game, but the state had lately passed law prohibiting the killing of deer, which was particularly aggravating, as we were continually running across them Now 1 am a respecter of the law--un' less I am retained on the other side and I found it hard work to refrain from shooting at the deer that present. ed themselves as if they knew that they were free from danger. But along to- ward the last our meat ran out, and told the old man that we would have 10 have some fresh meat even If we had to kill deer. He agreed with me, and it wasn't ten minutes later that deer eprang up ahead of us. I wasn't pre- pared for him, but the guide was, and he made clean miss, much to his dis gust. That was the last deer that we saw, and we returned without having broken the law. But no sooner had we arrived at the point where we had started from than the old man was ar rested for killing deer. and took it apon myself to defend him, as knew him to be innocent. took the stand in his behalf, and thinking 1t best to make clean breast of the mat ter, I admitted that he had shot at deer, but missed him. Then I put the old man on the stand to cor roborate my testimony.
 "'You admit having shot at the deer?' said I, when the old man took the stand.
 'Thet's what!' he answered.
 "And you missed him?' I contin- ued.
 "'No. siree!' he shouted. I killed him. b'gee!'
 "That took the wind out of my sailE and I collapsed, the result being that the old man was fined $25.

Gentlemen:-Mr. ----9---, president of a cotton mill at Union, s. C., he don't want to see his name in print-had two offers of 500 gallons of paint; $1.3O and $1.25. Took the $1.25 and got skinned. He'd have got three-quarters skinned if he'd taken the other.
 The $1.3O was full gallon; the SIPS was IS per cent short. The full measure paint was adultera- ted 40 per cent; the short meas ure paint was adulterated 45 per cent, besides benzine in the oil, don't know how much.
 Devoe lead-and-zinc wasn't sold in the town then.

The young man had 8 dim recs Election of being intro- duced to him once and speaking a word or so. but since that time had not seen him at all. However, this didn't bother him much, and his love affair came to a focus rapidly. says London Tit-Bits.
