AbeIard seemed TO think that EIoise
was feminine. but Eloise never kept
house for him. The eXigencies of a

probably have turned their immortal

The worlds deathless passions are not
inspired by women who darn socks and
cook three meals day. Domesticity is
one thing and feminlnity another. The
woman whom man loves may be and
ought TO ne domestic. but il is not for
this that he loves her. and IA little
more gray matter in our brains
would enable us to see the extreme
idiocy of the expression, "a Feminine
woman. and that still greater idiocy.

SEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION.

The Legal and Legislative Bureau
of the National Afro-American Council
has issued a circular letter asking the
people for funds to prosecute the case
Of Rev. H. 7. Johnson vs. The Pullman
Car Co., which has been appealed. 1t
is the intention of the director of the
Bureau in view of the recent ruling
Of the Pullman Car Co., which yirtu-
ally excludes Afro-Americans from
their sleeping cars l the South and
bordering states, desires to make a
strong effort to get a favorable deci-
sion in this Johnson case. The only
way the Bureau can get funds is for
the people to send in such sums as
they feel able to subscribe to this
cause, in which every Afro-American
in this country is vitally interested.
The s1ecific sum asked for is ONE
DOLLAR from each person who feels
enough interest in this vital race mat
ter to gay that amount, but no one is
limited, and anyone who wishes to do
more is at liberty and earnestly urged
to do so. The finincial secretary of
the Bureau is Mr.. Jesse Lawson. 2O11

THE "PURE" CAUCASIAN.

A. E. Bell, a real Caucasian, is .
thief-he has stolen a million and
there the honor lies.
Mrs. Ashmead, Caucasian of pur-
est ancestry, has for years conducted
a baby farm in Philadelphia and has
killed HUNDREDS of innocent babies
has thrown them while yet alive
into the furnace. She is, a fend, the
spawn of the Satan, yet ''pure'' Cau-
casian.
A scOundrel in London who could
trace his ancestry back for hundreds
Of years, has recently committed sui
eide when he was detected in trying
to get rid of the body of his seventh
wife. whom he had murdered.
The fends who burn men at the
stake in this country are generally
pure Caucasians, or pose as such.
Many pure Caucasians are all right,
but some are all wrOngJ
The simple fact that one is a pure
Caucasian does not make him all right
any more than the fact that one who is
not pure Caucasian is all wrong.

THE ALTON SCHOOL CASE.

The famous Alton School case has
been decided against the Afro-Amer-
lean. The board of education several
years ago built a special school for
Afro-Americans. Scott Bibb and a
number of others refused to.s send their
children there and attempted to send
them to the nearest public school.
The superintendent Of schools refused
to permit this and a suit for manda-
mus was brought in Bibbs' name
against the officials.
The suit has been to the appellate
and supreme courts number Of times,
and has been reversed and remanded
upon various points each time. An
appeal will be taken to the state SUI
preme court.
Money will be needed to make the
fight and the Afro-Americans. of Illi-
nois ought to furnish it..
The Appeal will give $40 to start the
fund. How much will you give, kind
reader?

Lodges in Mans Appendix and Goes
Through the Intestine.
Philadelphia, Pa, April 12.-Seeds
have caused appendicitis, and colds
have caused it, but it is seldom that
the pathological origin can be traced
to an inch and half wire nail, as in
the case of William Bibb.
Bibb was Pullman porter, So years
old. He, died in the University hOspi-
tai after an interesting medical record.
CiIrhosis of the liver was supposed to
be the cause of death, but Bibb. had
heart trouble also, and he had been
operated upon more than a year ago
for an abscess of the abdomen, which
could not be located at that time.
DR.. James Tyson had the body open
ed for the benefit of the third-year
class, and as soon as the appendix
was exposed the nail was discovered
skewered clean through the intestine.
1t is supposed that Bibb swallowed
the nail more than a year ago, al
though he did not report it to the doc
tors. The appendix. and the nail have
been put: in the laboratory of the Med
ical hall as curio. .~~~
