Oh, the day is snow-white poodle,
That cavorts with a wondrous vim

Until twilight douses the glim

Round the block as they frisk and play
Are the daytime chasing the nighttime

COMING TO TOWN
By MeLandburgh Wilson

Said the City to the Country:
Il will make loan to you-
You may have my hustling children
Till September days are due.
"They will teach you how to hurry,
Show you how to forge ahead,
How to chase the nimble dollar
Till you seek your downy bed"
Then the City called her loan in,
And the Country soon was sad,
For the interest it cost her
Was her red-cheeked farmer lad.

Condition of African Slaves.

In Zanzibar and Pemba slaves are
very slow to take advantage of the
regulations that give them the right
to claim their freedom" says trav-
eler. They realize that SO long as
they are well used their position is
superior to that of the man whose
freedom is his sole asset. | have
found the same attitude in North AT
RIGA. From Morocco to Tripoli one
sees most of the slaves well content
and tiOurishing. The famine, the To-
Gusts, the drought and the tax col
lectOr have no terror for them; work
keeps them healthy, they have enough
to eat and drink and the future has
no meaning at all. There is promo
ton; there are confidential missions
to governors and friends that elevate
a slave, if only in the eyes Of his fell
lows, and there is always a chance
OF manumiSSion when the owner dies
and wishes to have some good deeds
recorded in the books of Islams re-
cording angels. The sorry truth of
the matter is that slaves under Mo-
hammedan rule are much better off
than they ever were under the rule
of white men-in America and else
where"

cr,1eI+u Is Nfrfca

For years Edmund d. Morel has
been waging war on the barbarities
that are inflicted by the representa-
tives of European civilization on the
natives Of west and central Africa.
The territory in question is under
Belgian rule He writes: In four
years the natives of the Kongo ter
ritories have been robbed in the name
of philanthrophy and civilization of
produce collected by them to the tune
of nearly s30,000,000 And that is the
least count in the Indictment. The
number Of human lives that have
been sacrificed, directly and indirectly
in the process is appalling to contem-
plate. One of the trusts, British con-
sui at Bona, tells us, expended in
three years, $4,000 cartridges in the
production of india rubber, and he
quotes a diary shown him testifying
to the use by the government of 5000
cartridges in six months on the Nam
bozo river, which means that 5000
are killed or mutilated, because for
every cartridge used the soldiers
must bring back right hand The
diary adds: It means more than 5000
for the people told me repeatedly
that the soldiers kill the children with
the butt of their guns"
