Virginia Enterprise:-In every
town are to be found certain class
of misguided youths who apparently
are drifting into the idea that 1.-THE
world owes every man living" and
are not making any noticeable effort
to aid the world in the matter OF
furnishing it. These youths are
starting wrong. The world owes
every man an opportunity to work for
his bread AMI keep, and it is his own
fault if he doesn't make good.
Two Harbors Journal:-And now It's
claimed that the pointed crown OF the

Dor interferes with the transmission
of wireless messages across the sea.
Well suppose it does, it is up to the
inventor to devise means by which
the messages may be sent around

Two Uarbors Journal:-1n these
days OF advanced civilization we hear
much of Christianity and the good it
does. But there still remains whole
lot of good it does not do. During
the past century in village not a
thousand miles from Two Harbors,
there lie upon bed Of sickness and
pain a woman, who to say the least
was unfortunate. A child was born
and for several days that sick woman
was called upon to wash, dress and
care for her offspring, with only the
assistance of a very young girl. The
woman was in weakened con iition
and quite unable to perform the dut-
les with which she was confronted.
But she did perform them as only a
fond mother can. The village referred
to has many churches and we pre-
sumo many christians, all of whom it
seems are too busy making preparat-
ions for the world to come, to offer
the helping hand which would have
been so welcome in that little home.
Being in the newspaper business we
do not know much bout>Christianity
neither do we fully comprehend It's
full meaning but our limited know
ledge on the subject teaches us that
true christianity consists in not only
being good. but in doing good to
others. Charity begins at home and
there is Just as much need of home
mission in America as there is for a
foreign mission in South Africa or
the East Indies. There is more need
OF practicing what we preach and less
need of preaching and then going to
sleep and Just dreaming how good we
are.

DENIAL BY YAzOO.
No MaItreatment of the
Negro Hornsby.
With Revolver on Hip, He Was Told to
Leave or Suffer Arrest for
Carrying Concealed
Weapons.
lBy the Associated Press

Memphis, Tenn, March 31.-A Com
mercial-Appeal special from Yazoo
City says:
The statement made by the negro
M. j. Hornsby, in his complaint at
the White House, that he is prevent
ed from holding position in postof-
flee here by reason of maltreatment
by white citizens is denied here.
Hornsby stood examination TO ra
position in the local postoffice at
time when two clerkships were va
cant. The examinations were passed
by three negroes and one white man.
One of the vacancies was filled by Lee
Cummings, a white man. The threee
negroes were advised by members of
their own race not to accept positions
in the office, as their acceptance might
prove distasteful to the white residents
and possibly cause trouble. Two of
the negroes then withdrew their appli-
cations, stating that they desired po-
SitionS as mail carriers but not as
clerks. Hornsby applied to Postmas-
ter John p. Bennett for q position as
clerk, but later in writing withdrew
his application on being warned by
white residents that his appointment
would not meet with the approval of
the white people of the community.
At that time, it is alleged, Hornsby
was carrying a loaded revolver, and
when this was learned he was instruct
ed to leave town at once or be arrest
ed on the charge of carrying conceal
ed weapons. Hornsby Immediately
left the city. The pistol, it is said,
is being held as evidence against
Hornsby should he return to Yazoo
City.

Declarations by Three of the Employees
Cause of Failure.
(By the Associated Press. )

Lorain, Ohio. March 31.-The Citi-
zens Savings Bank was closed today,
it's affairs having been placed in the
hands of an assignee. The banks
capital is $4,000 and it had deposits
of S313,949.
Defalcation by three of the banks
employees is the cause of the failure.
No arrests have as yet been made, al
though President Henecker announced
today that he expected to take the
necessary legal steps for such an ac-
ton shortly. Asked if the Chadwick
operations were in any way response
bic for the failure, President Heneck-
er said:
you may state that the bank es-
capped Mrs. Chadwick completely, and
that the closing of our bank is in no
way traceable to anything like the
Chadwick affair. Mrs Chadwick
came to see us and / talked with her,
but she did not get any of our money"
From an authoritative source, it is
learned that the exact amount of the
shortage in the funds of the bank is
$97. 900.
To offset this three defaulting en-
ployes carried indemnity bonds in fa-
yor of the bank aggregating $40, 900,
and in addition have turned over real
estate and other property to the bank
to the value of $12, 900, leaving the net
loss to the institution $4,000.

What makes the billy rampant
Whose mood was late serene
What makes the frisky lamb pant
That darts athwart the green! :
What fills the bulfrog's thorax
With melodies Of hope
What scents the air with borax
And kalsomine and soap?
What wakes the cleaning crocus
And sets the moth afioat--
What puts hOcus pocus
Upon your overcoat?
What makes the bluebird gayer
In dawn's ecstatic kiss
What makes the baseball player
Pop from his chrysalis?

OF spells we can't define,
Whose name is just Spring fever,

And wanders Ger the mountain
In sandals made of pills.

The Kaiser's Actions at
Tangier Mysterious.
HINT OF PLOT BY REDS

Tangier, March 31.-Emperor Will
to Tangier today, remaining barely
two hours on shore. The elaborate
program for his reception and enter
tainment was much changed, the EN-
peror combining himself to a visit to
the German legation, where he re-
ceived populations of Germans in
Morocco.
The changed plans caused much
comment and disappointment. The
Emperor had expected to land about
eight o'clock, but this was delayed
three hours. 1t was officially eX-
planned that the reason for this pro-
cedure was the roughness of the
seas, but after the departure of the
Hamburg it was stated on good au-
thority that Emperor William, having
heard that there was possibility of
an anti-French demonstration on the
occasion of his visit, desired to avoid
such an incident.
Another report, which, however, has
not received official confirmation, but
is generally accepted, states that the
German legation was informed that
an anarchist plot has been discovered
and advised that the Emperor be dis
suaded from landing.
Emperor William was received by
El-Malek, the Sultan's uncle with
whom he conversed for some time.
Deputations from the German resi-
dents and leading Moors were then
presented to the Emperor. The Ger
mans delivered to His Majesty an adj
dress of welcome to which he replied
as follows:
am happy to recognize in you
devoted pioneers of German industry
and commerce wo are helping me in
the task of always UNFOLDING in a
free country the interests of the
motherland. The sovereignty and in
tegrity of Morocco will be maintain
ed"
Emperor William proceeded to the
German legation where he held re-
ception of the members of the diplo-
matte corps and the Arab notabilities.

he would return to Jail if he should
be released until his health might inn
prove, or he should die.

RENIANDED FOR TRIAL.
The Bail of Stanley Francis Fixed at
$4,000.
(By the associated Press


Philadelphia, Pa, March 31.-On
the testimony of two former employ
es of the defunct Storey Cotton Com
pany, Stanley Francis, accused of be-
ing one of the promoters and direc-
tors of the concern was today re-
manded for trial by United States
Commissioner Craig with bail fixed
at $4,000
The original charge against Francis
was using the mails for fraudulent
purposes, and he was arrested at the
instigation of postal authorities. The
two important witnesses against the
accused man were Misst Margare
Hope, a stenographer, who gave tes-
timony which Commissioner Craig
said was sufficient to convince him
that the defendant was party to a
conspiracy to defraud James r. Clark,
an expert accountant employed by
counsel for Senator Bradley, of Cam
den, receiver of the Storey Cotton Co.,
also testified concerning his exam
ination of the company's books. He
based his testimony on his examination
of the cash book, which he said con-
tanned an entry of $2,00,301, as re-
ceipts from cotton investments, the
only indication in the book of any in
vestments by the company. A state
ment of the concerns business show
ing assets of $4,000 was produced
by United States District Attorney
Thompson, and after examining it, the
witness said there was nothing on
the cash book to show such assets.
The book did show however, that the
company had lost $1,17S,417, but there
was no indication that this sum was
lost in cotton transactions.
The testimony given by the two wo-
men was in effect that Francis gave
them various instructions as to the
conduct of the business.
