A DIFFERENCE or OPINION
Mr.. FEELS agrees that asking men 10
work hard without pay Is demoraliSing
to the worker, but he refuses to accept
responsibility for this condition of
things. They work for the Guardians,
ANA he must leave the Guardians TO
deal with them IN this respect, lie be-
lieves, however that II is better for the
physiCal welfare OF a healthy man to
work without pay than TO be idle.
Many OF these new colOnsts never
used a spade In their lives. They are
a mixed community. There are doc
tors, lawyers and schoolmasters among
them and all or nearly all have come
down through faults Of their own. The
experience which they are now acqulr-
ing viii open up fresh avenues OF EN-
ployment for them, and II Is expected
that they will be able soon to be use
full farm hands. They show no dispose
ton to return 10 the towns or cities

are unanimous IN their admiration OF
the FhNadulphian who has given them

state Of idleness and humiliation.

trainer has dropped dead at Sleeps
head Bay race track. He had just
stabbed his fayorite horse Dekaber after
watching the animal at work on the
track. A strange coincidence was con-
nected with the horseman's sudden
ending. Last Saturday at Brighton
track Dekaber won race, beating Os-
trich in close finish. When the lat
ter animal was led back to the stable
at Sheepshead, the foreman, Gus Ha-
nan, asked the stable boy IL he had
won. Learning that the horse upon
which he had wagered large sum had
been beaten by Dekaber, Hanan threw
up his arms and fell dead.

THE CAKE WALK.

Few people know the real origin
of the cake walk. 1t is known, of
course, that it originated with the
negroes of the South, but just how
may be interesting to know.
At first the well known walk was
merely an incident to the negroes
in their dances, and was an imita-
ton of a gamecock as heannouneed
his victory by strutting around and
tapping his wings.
One man would stand at the head
of line and all would follow, do
ing just as he did, strutting, crow
ing and scratching. The more
novel and ridiculous the antics of
the negroes the greater was the
amusement, and the couple who
provoked the most fun and laugh
ter were the most popular and the
man was declared "cock of the
walk" and made leader of the next
exhibition.
