The Cross Road.

Come with me through the old cross road
That leads to Uncle Bits,
Down this way through dreamland
filed
With peace that God instills!
Follow me by the winding rut
Where baby rabbits play,
Deep and far in the fragrant dell
With brook-splashed roundelay!
Come with me where the moo-cows
drink;
Aye! drink unto their fill
Down the road, past the stubble field
Where pipes the whip-poor-will!
Golden rod and the sumac red
Are banked in bright array,
Bees a-buzz hum a ragtime air
Throughout the cross road wayl
Take my hand Ger the rock-strewn gulch
And on to Uncle Bills
This is life in a paradise
That thrills and thrills and thrills!
Oh, for gift just to keep my heart
A-fill with cross road joy,
Incense pure of the days when
Was just country boy!

A Fountain Tree.

On the Canary Islands grows foun'
tain tree. 1t is said that the leaves
constantly distill a quantity of water
that is sufficient to furnish drink to
every living creature in Hero, nature
having provided this remedy for the
drouth of the island. Every morning
near this part of the island a cloud OF
mist arises from the sea which the
winds force against the steep cliff on
which the tree grows, and it is from
the mist that the tree distills the
water.

Boots for Soup.

Rawhlde, or even leather, If boiled

Many a man has bridged the awful

the story going the rounds OF the
press, Mark Twain was once put to
this final resort, and recorded after

NEGROES NEED WHITE FRIENDS.
Booker T. Washington Addresses Big
Meeting In Gotham.

MeeCInq IN GOtnam.
New York, March 28-"I have a
most profound belief that no race in
ancient or modern history has ever
equalled the American negro in devel-
opment In all directions" said Booker
I. Washington, in addressing a meet
ing here of the Society for ethical
culture. He expressed the opinion
further that the negro man should be
encouraged to remain in the south.
He said:
Because of the negro's progress in
the present and my faith in his future
was never prouder than / am today
OF being negro.
'Nine-tenths of the intelligent mem
bers of our race will agree that the
great body Of our people are to reside
in the south and that they should be
encouraged to do so. Since this is
agreed upon it naturally follows that
the negro should in every praisworthy
manner cultivate the friendship and
the sympathy of the people by whose
side he is to live. Any other course
would be suicidal, unnatural and illog-
ical.
I'm saying this | do not mean that
we should submit to injustice. No
one respects a strong, honest charac-
ter more than the southern white man
does. At the present time the race
needs every white friend it can COM
mand whether he resides at tn south
or the north. The problems before
us are not to be settled by emigra-
tional determination or amalgamation,
but by sympathetic cooperation be-
tween the races.

| Foreign Residents Do Not Like the
Attitude that Russia Has Assured,
But Will Have to Await instructions

New Chwang, March 28.-The civil
administration yesterday evening noti-
fed all the foreign consuls and res
idents of Vicerop Alexieff's order plac-
ing the city and port of New Chwang
under martial law, explaining thar it
had been so ordered for the purpose
of safeguarding the commercial inter-
ests of the port
Pending the publication of the full
text of Viceroy Alexieff's order the fol-
lowing regulations are ordered to be
Immediately operative:
First, the entire territory of the
city and port, also all persons, with
out distinction of jurisdiction and ma
tionality, resident, in said territory,
are subjected to special regulations
regarding a state of war
Second, all travellers arriving by
sea and all cargoes entering port are
to be inspected both by naval officers
and custom officials.
Third, the Importation of arms and
ammunition is forbidden
Fourth, the expectation of contra
band of war is forbidden.
Fifth, persons desiring to ex-
port contraband goods are required
to deposit sum equivalent to the val
ue Of the cargo. This deposit is to
serve as guarantee that the cargo
is not to be forwarded from neutral
ports either to Japan or Korea.
Sixth, the functions of the lightship
and harbor guides in the river Lao
are suspended.
Seventh, contraband of war is to
consist of such articles as are men
toned in the decree issued by the
czar Feb. %, defining contraband of
war"
"A list of contraband good then
follows
This list includes beans and bean
cakes, and other food stuffs. The in
reference with this traffic here to-
gether with the operation of article S
referred to above, VIII stop New
Chwang's trade.
Five ships which arrived outside to-
day and numerous others due will be
unable to ship cargoes.
The opinion Of leading foreign resi-
dents and officials is that although the
rights of neutrals remain unaltered by
treaty, Russia assumed the power to
Jurisdiction and ex-territirial eOi3456
annul these rights, also consular
jurisdiction and ex-territorialty, rem
dering the position of foreign consuls
untenable.
In some quarters the order is re-
garded as an apparent challenge to
neutral powers especially to China on
account of the appropriation of her
territory and that it renders the Unit
ed States gunboat Helena and the Brit
fish cruiser Espiegle liable to an Or
der to leave port.
The consuls will await instructions
from their respective governments in
asmuch as there is no law to guide the
consuls' actions.
The property and trade interests of
the foreign residents are prepared to
be abandoned.
