The depravity of the negroes in
their SO ial life is particularly
dwelt upon. and it is maintain
ed that the curse OF this fright.
fIl immortality is over church
and school and gives no sign of
abatement.
Some startling facts are cited
to support this contention. For
instance, it is said that the
crime of rape was unknown
during slavery, and hardly
known during the first years OF
freedom. Within the past 25
years over 500 white women and
children have been assaulted in
the South by negroes. Twenty
five years ago women in the
South went unattended, with no
more fear of attack than in
New England, Today no wo-
man in the South goes alone
upon the highway out OF sight
OF white men, except on neces-
sity, and no man leaves his
women alone in his house if lie
can help it.
This is a terrible showing,
says Mr.. Page, "aud the most
depressing part Of it is the tail
ure OF the negroes to address
themselves to the moral I'M
provementyof their race, In
concluding he adds: None OF
this will affect the views of the
politicians or the doctrinaire;
out it should, at least, give food
for thought among the rest OF
our people
1t is d dark picture Mr.. Page
draws.

Young Democrats, you who
are about to cast your first vote,
don't be ratified by the social
ed band wagon crowd, just be-
cause it seems to be the craze.
Stop and think what a vote for
Folk implies, 1t implies that
the Democracy of Missouri is
rotten; that the Supreme Court
is corr upt: that the Democratic
party is foul smelling, and that
there is only one man in this
greatest of states clean enough
to be governor. The friends of
the otner candidates are thieves
thugs and triCksters; that " hat
the Globe-Democrat and all It's
lesser lights have been charging
against the Democrats of Mis-

DARK PICTURE OF THE NEGRO.

The present condition and as
pect of the negro problem, as
shown by statistics. is presented
by Thomas Nelson Page, in
McClure's for May. in his third
and concluding paper on THE
Negro: The Southerners' Prob
lem" In his previous papers
Mr.. Page has considered the
old relations between tue white
and black races, the mistakes
following the war which, in his
opinion, are mainly responsible
for whatever trouble hi IS arisen
between them, the present
effects from these causes, and
now what promise the future
holds of amendment.
Mr.. Page argues that instead
of progressing the negro has,

Every housekeeper should
know that if they will buy De-
tianCe Cold Water Starch for
laundry use they will save not
only time, because it never
sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 or

Cold Water Starches are. put up
in 3-pound packages, and the
price is the same, 10 cents,
Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious
chemicals If Your grocer tries
to sell you y W. package it
is because he has stock on
hand which he wishes to dispose
of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Detiance Starch

much time and money and the
annoyance of the iron sticking.

unable to fight, resting like a log at
the hearth corner.

carefully shut the door as he went out

DO you know, Antywine!"
Me? No.. I have never inquire
and Shiekshack have not sho' me-
If the trust is to be put into my

Lincoln united the leather cord which
bound the snakes neck, and shook 1t
by the tail. Out gushed all the yellow
pieces with the ring Of gold upon the
table; Spanish doub1oons and French
louis, which cost him some trouble to
calculate. He set them in cylindrical
piles, row after row. Wood snapped in
the open Franklin stove. and no other
sound could be heard in the room but
the. liquid clink of-gold. Ann, Peggy
and Antywine watched the counting.

Must l buy sixteen hundred acres

Lincoln's eyes twinkled, losing for a
moment their usual expression Of dark
blue wistfulness. He was not much
older than the Canadian boy who
venerated him as an oracle, but he
had already begun to guide the desti-
nies of others.
You'd better let your husband de-
eide that matter when you are older"
he answered, and while the words were
being spoken, Pedro Lorimer entered
the tavern in a whirl OF winter air.
He closed the outer door, made his
salutations with grace. and approached
the table where the money counters
sat. Lincoln deliberately filled the
snake skin, tied its neck shut, and sat
with it in his large hands, pleasantly
returning the visitors greeting. The
tavern was free to all corners. Yet
Antywine at once stood up in front of
Peggy, his blond head towering above
the swart arrival.
What you do here, eh? You drive
Shickshack around. so he die in the
drift! When 1 see you to-day I think

Lorimer, 'I rode here through very
biting cold to see my young cousin.
I shall now take charge of her."
Tell him 1 won't go with him,
Antywine, said Peggy.
"The gentleman must understand"
spoke Lincoln, that he cannot force
guardianship on girl Of Peggy's age
except by kidnapping. We folks in New
Salem have not measured ourselves
with the great people in the world.
but we rather reckon that New Or

him out into the snow. and shooting
the bolt behind him.
'Goody!" Peggy exclaimed with pas
sionate approval.
Ann put her hands 10 her eyes and
Lincoln laughed.
Take care, Antywine."
The oiled paper Of the window
through which Peggy had watched Ann
Rutledge from the hand-mili. was
slashed by a knife. Antywine fiattened
himself against the door. The knife
shot past his head and stuck quiv-
ering in the opposite wall.

Antywine opened the door of the
playhouse he was intending to make
for Peggy. Though the sensitive part
of him. which Peggy said was like a
woman, quivered with delight, he had
free, bold spirit, ready to dare any
thing. On long tramps and rides and
master mind he had been coming
to his own as man.
There's mighty difference" Lin
coin once said to him, between study
ing with the outside of your syeballs
and studying with your eyes open clear
to the bottom of your BRAIN"
Antywine saw that new oiled paper
would have to be put into the weather
beaten windows. over which Peggy
would hang short>white curtains, per-
haps like those that could be showed
apart on strings at the tavern. He
selected the corner Tor his chest Of
drawsrs. and was sileatly- calculating

Antywine threw his arms around
Lincoln and sobbed and laughed like
a woman He sWayed, and could
scarcely stand.

downhearted when you ought to have

The American way OF joking over
what had been tragedy seemed
delicious to the Canadian boy as he
tramped back the long seven miles.
When he reached his house at the end
of the village Lincoln did not think it
advisable to take him any farther.
