BOYS IDEAS or .CHEETING''

Judge Henry A. Shute has charac-
teristic boy story in the October Amer.
lean Magazine. Plupy read paper on
"Cheeting,' in which the following &C.
ours:
Il guess most everybody cheets
some, sometimes somebody comes to
the house which nobody wants to see
and Aunt Sarah will say, for mersy
sakes Joanna there comes that dredful
woman but when she comes in they
say they are auful glad to see her and
make her take of her things and stop
TO super and they put on the best
china and have gelly and hot biskit
SO one day asked Aunt Sarah if that
wasent cheeting and Aunt Sarah she
said perhaps it was, but If we didn't

Love for the Old Home.

Mankind is nomadic, and while the
sweetest poetry in the language is in
spired by the old home, the monument
tai work in the world has been accom-
plished in the main by those who left
the parental roof to pursue elsewhere
the quest for fortune, fame and high
success. Neverthelesssth the love for the
old home abides. The reunion of those
who remain and those who have de-
parted is an occasion that will stir the
pulse of any community in which such
a soulful event takes place. The pref
ty announcement was made by a news
paper in little New England town
which was about to celebrate it's old
home week that "the Jones boys have
arrived and Charles will preach in
the Presbyterian church on Sunday"
A little Waif of news like that revives
old times and pays for all the prepare
ton of 'sold home week. Philade!-

VIM. Lloyd Garrison Centenary.

usheSee institute, Ala, Oct. II.
Editor THE APPEAL:
e The one-hundredth anniversary OF
the birth Of William Lloyd Garrison
which occurs on Dec. 10, it seems to
me is an event which should not only
deeply stir and interest the colored
people throughout the country, but one
which should not pass without proper
recognition on the part of the white
people.
Steps are beiug taken by the col
ored people to have the event celebrat-
cd by members of their race through
out the country but all of us now rec
ognize more and more the fact that the
work OF Mr.. Garrison and his co-labor-
ers not only freed the black race, but
was equally important in emancipating
a large part of the white people OF
the United States. 1t is true, it will be
conceded, that to Mr.. Garrison and his
co-workers We owe. in large part, the
fact that we now have united coun-
try.
AS the national, and even in.erna-
tional character and value of Mr.. Gar
rison's services are now SO widely rec
ognized, ] cannot, as member of the
; race which he most served, refrain
from urging upon the public the i'm
portance of seeing that the celebration
Of his one hundredth anniversary shall
be of such a. character as to do credit
to our entire country. More and more
as the years pass by, all Of US are en-
joying the fruits of Garrison's work.
ard we should not fail to keep before
! this and ceming generations the he
roic and far reaching nature of his
services to mankind and the repub-
| lie.
Yours truly,
Booker r. Washington.

REPRESENTATIVE Champ Clark tells
of an amusing story in connection
with the Inauguration Of Thomas T.
Crittenden as governor OF Missouri, a
ceremony attended with more frills
than any other in the state since the
civil war
According to MI. Clark, there were
on this occasion military organlza-
lions and bands galore, and special
car loads Of people came from Kan
sas City and St. Louis ito witness the
pageant. Capt Hawley of St. Louis
was grand marshal of the day. Lieut..
Gov. Brockmeyer, a quaint character,
| was presiding over the senate, and as
he proceeded to the hall OF the House
of Representatives., where the two
bodies in joint session were to re-
ceive the new governor, he lolled back
in his chair on the presidents stand
and smoked a big corncob pipe with
the utmost nonchalance.
The Senate lobby was crowded, and
senators were in their seats, on the
tiptoe of expectancy, for the strains
of martial music could be heard from
all directions. At this junct1lre a fig
ure in glittering and brilliant uni
form pushed through the crowd and
marched halfway up the aisle. This
was Marshal Of the Day Hawley.
Drawing his sword, he made a pro-
found military salute, and announced,
with 11clo nnmn0SitV. *
"Mr. President, the governor of
Missouri and his staff now approach! :"
Without removing his pipe from his
mouth, Brockmeyer responded:

There Was a Limit.

An lrishman one day went into the
slop Of barber to get shaved. After
.s'eing properly seated and the iather
about half applied, the barber was
called to an adjoining room, where
he was detained for some time. The
barber had in the shop as a net 4
monkey, which was continually imi-
tating its master. As soon as the lat.
ter left the room the monkey grabbed
the brush and proceeded to finish
lathering the Irishman's face. After
doing this he took a razor, from its
case and stropped it and then turned
to the Irishman to shave him.
