numerous visits made to the schools

speakers in criticism of their own people

Special to the ADVERTISE. }

WASHINGTON, d. C., May. MIR
R. C. Ogden's special train returned las
week after making a trip of ten day:
through the Southland, during which his
party visited the negro schools in Hanp-
ton, Iuskegee, and Calhoun, the white
normal schools in Rock Hill, South Car
o1ina, and Troy, besides an hour spent
at the University of Alabama, in Tls-
caloosa The annual Conference for
Education was attended for two days
IN Birmingham, Ala
This annual visit of Mr.. Ogden with
his four score of eminent guests to the
Southland now attracts much public at
tention And well it should Mr.. Og-
den is the partner of John Wanamaler
and has charge of the great department
store OF New York in which over three
thousand persons are employed: the
working OF which under Mr.. Ogden's
genius is as smooth as the movements
of a Corliss engine. Mr.. Ogden has al
ways been interested in the education
of the negroes. He claims that one of
the most important events of his life
was his accidental acquaintance with
General Armstrong before the Civil War.
This led to his intense devotion to the
General and his cause. He is now the
President of the Board of trustees of the
Hampton School, and IFS powerful stand

cause of the education of the southern
whites neeced aid, and with his wonder
FIJI energy he began, several years ago,
to marshal the southern educational
forces. and put behind them northern
aid Therefore. he has greatly increased
his own burdens, but he carries them
all as if they were mere balloons. His
influence with men of wealth ike Car
negie and Rockefeller is large as he is
himself great giver, and these men
have confidence in his judgment. Car

his annual gift of $4,000 to Hampton is
largely due TO Mr.. Ogderl's influence

i repeats. In order to promote this socIa
| intercourse he has for four years, N the
interests of general education, ORGANIZED
these annual trips on a prlncely scale
SO far as comfort IS concerned. Only
by offering singularly strong induce
11enfs to eminent men and women OF the
north could he persuade them to take
ten DAYS out of their busy lives and give
them TO the cause of Southern educa-
ton. Inviting near hundred of eminent
men and women, he placed them IN the
finest of apartment cars, with two DIN
ing cars. parior and observation cars,
with a special service in each. The gen
era1 agent who managed the trip was
the same person who conducted Pres1-
dent Rooseyelt's journey for sixty days
over the western lands last year. 1t was
SO arranged that where there were not
good hotel accommodations IN place,
the special train was run onto side
track in some country town, SO that. the
guests slept in the woods in the glory OF
the southern spring.
Mr. Ogden is also the President of
the Southern Education Board, an insti-
tuition which distributes northern aid to
southern schools. Mr. Rockefeller's gift
alone TO this Board was one million of
dollars This board builds up in the
waste places with special reference TO
the white population. It supplements
work, subscribes funds on condition that
otner funds are raised
In these movements Mr.. Ogden and
his friends have seen the great danger
of irritating the southern people by
pafronizing them and apparently naak-
ing them OBJECTS of northern charity.
While the Southland is. indeed poor its
white population IS American, more
American in one sense than the people
of the north where large immigration
has greatly decreased the American
stock and it resents offers of charity

put himself and friends in the attitude
OF syrnpathizing friends Of the South
land: as northern men and women who

an obligation upon them of being their

Middlesex, N. Y, July 25.-(Spe-
cial. THAT Rheumatism can be cured
has been proved beyond a doubt by
Mrs. Betsey A. Clawson, well known
here. That Mrs. Clawson had Rheu-
matism and had it bad, all her &C
quaintances know. They also know
she is now cured. Dodd's Kidney Pills
did it. Mrs. Clawson tells the story of
her cure as follows:
81 was an invalid for most five
years caused by Infiammatory Rheu-
matism, helpless two-thirds of the
time. The first year l could not do
as much as a baby could do; then l
rallied a little bit and then relapse.
Then a year ago the govt set in my
hands and feet l suffered untold
agony and in August, 1903, when my
husband died l could not ride to the
grave.
81 only took two boxes Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and in two weeks l
could wait on myself and saw my own
wood. l dug my own potatoes and
gathered my own garden last fall.
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me-"
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put
the Kidneys in shape to take all the
uric acid out of The blood.

While the immediate provocation
for the renewal of the strike was ap-

the real cause of the rupture was in

OF ruby lips and dreamy eyes,
That beauty cannot cease to be
An ever fresh and sweet surprise;
I care not tho her face be fair,
And framed as in a wreath of curls-
For pretty maids 1 do not care:
I sing the praise of homely girls.
I sing of her whose nose is pug,
Though even to the side tits tipped,
Whose figures like old Omar's jug
Which mourned the Potter's hand had
slipped;
And say you that she squints a bit?
What odds? And in her speaking halts?
Nay, girls who squint possess the wit
To squint a mans most glazing faults.
A dainty, slender foot no doubt
Is pleasing. when alls said and done,
But husbands later find it out
That larger feet are best to run
Their little errands, fetch their shoes
When home they come at days demise,
For dainty feet possess no wings
Big-footed girls are for the wise.
The pearly, peach blow cheek has fears
Lest cooking spoil its lovely tint,
Cerulean eyes dare shed no tears,
Or show of sympathy a hint;
The hand of Venus smooths no brow,
Unless it be a Dukes or Earl's-
And so when you would choose a frau
Do not neglect the homely girls.
