stories are from the pen Of a young
colored artist, Mr.. John Henry
Adams, who acquired his art edu-
cation at the Drexel Institute,
Philadelphia. He has faithfully il
lustrated the stories with unique
drawings that gives the book an
added interest.
The book is neatly bound in
cloth and from the press OF
the well known and reliable
firm of Hertel, jenkins and
Co, Atlanta, Ga, who are desirous
of securing agents in this city. We
see no reason why book of this
description should not have large
sale now that the holiday season is
near at hand and parents are cast
ing about for the best literature for
their children. This book will dis
cover to old and young that all
merit and genius is pot under
white skin. Both Mr.. Floyd and
Mr.. Adams and the publishers are
to be congratulated for this new
departure for we believe that the
work will put new hope in the
blood of the rising generations.

ANOTHER SCORE FOR THE
NEGRO.

1t may well be asked do wonders
cease? And the answer may be
given, not in this progressive
world. Another wonder is added
to the literary world and to Negro
literature in particular, in the
publication of Floyd S Flowers or
Duty and Beauty for Colored
Children. Many story books have
been written, but whoever thought
of writing one for Negro children.
Prof. Silas X. Floyd, principal of
the colored school of Augusta, Ga,
has in this work proven himself to
be the Eugene Field of the colored
race. He is close friend of the
little folks. He has walked through
the gardens of imagination and ex-
perience and with discriminating
eye and tender affection plucked
the sweetest and prettiest flowers
of poetry and prose for the colored
children of America. Again his
stories are not childish but have
been written with noble purpose.
They are simple, amusing and ele-
vating. The book contains over
three hundred pages, one hundred
stories and about eighty illustra-
tions. The Illustrations, like the

Columbus, Ga, September l.
Hon. Joseph Hill Hall of Bibb
was one of the chief speakers at
the Labor Day exercises here. A
large audience was present and
frequently applauded him. Mr..
Hall said he was white man,
and was taking to white men,
but he did think that the Georgia
legislature showed the right dispo-
sition towards the Negro race. He
criticised this tendency, he said,
because if one weak and defense
less class of citizens, the next step
would be to legislate against poor
white working people. He criti-
cised the Legislature for disband-
ing the Negro militia and in this
connection he said: Il have
heard a great man, SO called, who
is candidate for governor, ap-
peal to the prejudices of the whites
against the Negro and congratu-
late the Legislature upon disband-
ing the Negro military companies.
l would never vote for man~for
governor who would congratulate a
Legislature upon thing like that. y

COLOR LINE EXTENDED TO
THE PHILIPPINES.

One of the most serious obJec-
tions made by the wise ones OF our
race to the annexation of Cuba and
the Philippines to the United
States, if only temporary, was the
importation to these islands OF
that contemplate cast, American
Prejudice" or narrow minded and
arrogant dealing toward the ma
tives because their skin is dark.
What we have feared has now
come upon u.s.. The appointment
of many Southerners to official po-
sitions in the insular service is hav-
ing its effect. Here as at home
they are having the opportunity to
consummate their hellish purpose
to crush race wholly at their
mercy, and the government seems
to be abetting them in their object,
by appointing a majority of these
officials from the Southern states.
Whether or not the President S at
tention has been called to this fatal
error or whether the home govern
ment fails to see the virus III the
selection of appointees opposed to
the full rights of the natives or not
the responsibility of the nation is
at stake. The appointment of the
race hating and prejudice making
class of office holders who are op-
posed to the colored classes and
masses on the ground that one race
problem was enough for them,
under an avowed Republican ad-
ministration is simply putting
into their mouths the words of
Macbeth, Thou cans t not say l
did it" because the Republican
party knows their sentiment and
attitude toward the darker skinned
races. These appointees are now
in a position to exercise control
over the destinies of these people
whom this government has taken
into their charge to educate and
prepare for citizenship. We sin
cerely fear that the medicine is
worse than the disease.

PHYSICAL Morality.

Perhaps nothing will so much hasten
the time when body and mind Will
both be adequately cared for as the
diffusion of the belief that the preser-
walton of health is duty. Few seem
conscious that there is such thing as
physical morality. Mems haoltual
words and acts might imply that they
are at liberty to treat their bodies as
they please. The fact is, all breaches
OF the laws of health are physical sins.
When this is generally seen, then.
and not till then, will the physical
training of the young receive all the
attent,on It deserves.-Dr. Youmans.

An Able Sermon.

Rev. j. H. Smith, formerly of
the Texas conference and who
preached a very able sermon at
Campbell A. M. E. church about
two weeks ago, is recognized as
one of the most influential clergy
men in the Colorado Conference.
In speaking of him the Wyoming
Tribune of the 18th inst. says:
Elder J. III. Smith of Durango,
Colo, is attending the A. NJ. E..
Annual Conference in Cheyenne.
Rev. Smith preached a very able
sermon Wednesday night from
the text The Eyes of the Lord
are over the Righteous" Elder
Smith possesses such a command
ing presence that he is frequently
mistaken for a bishop.

Snake Bites.


The poison in reptiles is similar in
character, and produces practically the
same symptoms when injected .nto
man. The symptoms produced are
pain and swelling and discoloration OF
the part, weak heart, fainting, labored
respiration, nausea, vomiting To be
effectual the treatment must be imme-
diate.
II the bite is on the arm or leg, no
time should be lost in tying bandage
of some sort tightly around the limb
above the wound. A rope, shoestring,
handkerchief, belt. or anything at
hand should be used. 1t should be
tied so tightly that circulation in the
limb is completely stopped. This pre-
vents the absorption of the poison in
to the general circulation. After this
thoroughly cavterize the wound with
a hot iron, or excise the wounded part
freely. If there are no cracks or
wounds in the lips, the wound may be
sucked with impunity, for the poison
is harmless in the stomach. The
bandage around the arm or leg may
be loosened few minutes at time,
thus allowing the virus slow access TO
the general circulation.
The custom of using large quanti-
ties of whisky in cases of snake bite
Is not warranted by facts. Hot bot
ties to the spine and stomach, hot wa
ter drinking, massage to the legs and
arms, and cool applications to the
head are all useful.

Painting.

Painting is more frequent in sum-
mer than at other seasons of the year.
1t is caused by a sudden failure of the
heart? Thus the brain has an insult
ficient amount of blood-things turn
dark, the patient falls to the ground
and is limp and unconscious. The face
is pale.
Fear, joy, unpleasant sights, loss of
blood, or pain, may cause fainting.
Nature suggests a remedy in having
the patient fall. About the only thing
to do is not to do the very thing that
four out of five persons do in case
of fainting; namely, raise the patient.
1t is perfectly permissible to raise the
patient, provided you keep the feet
higher than the head. No pillow
clothing around the neck should be
loosened dash of cold water thrown
in the face will cause a gasp str
breath, and the spell is over. The pa
tient should keep the reclining posi-
tion for some time after he becomes
conscious.
Ordinarily in few minutes the pa
tient will be all right if nothing more
is done than to allow him to lie per-
fectly horizontal. If in crowd, the
people should be made to stand back,
thus allowing plenty of fresh air. The
patient should be removed to quiet
place as soon as possible. Hot drinks,
and hot and cold applications to the
spine are valuable if there is a ten
dency for the attack to recur.

MUST GET OUT.


nounced himself a pessimist on the
race problem. A man of educa-
ton, experience and a traveller IN
many different countries his words
have depth of meaning. While
many of us do not like to share IN
a doleful theme, yet we do not see
how an intelligent, well Informed
and right thinking man or woman
can see anything optimistic for the
Negro in any of the various occu-
pations North, East or West where
his presence is felt in any consider
able numbers, Colorado being no
exception.
In another part of this paper
will be found an article which
makes interesting reading for the
Negro and Unionism. The hod car
riers union is the only labor or
ganization containing a majority
of colored members who are able
to elect officers and send delegates
of color to national assemblies, and
because they are able to have
voice in the law making body they
are now asked to get out. Tilford
McAllister of this city, we'll
known labor leader and president
of the local brick lifters union was
delegate to the International
Labor and Building Trades Coun-
ell which convened in this city last
week. He was the only Negro pres
ent in that body, when he arose to
speak against the separation OF
colored and white hod carriers he
was hooted with cries, Sit down. -
The convention then tacitly de-
cided that in the future that col
ored delegates should be debarred
from all participation in the ma
tional councils of the body. This
then settles the Negro s relation to
unionism for all time to come.
Even if Negroes decide to have a
union of their own, still they will
not be permitted to send delegates
or to have representation in the
national body. 1t is the death
knell of Negro unionism, and the
only salvation now lays in meeting
the issue by competition. How
this competition is to be enforced
is still another question; as all the
contractors and employers are
white and the refusal of white la
Dor organization to work with col
ored means that work is to be sus-
pended or the Negro TO be entirely
eliminated.
The Negro already sees this and
has begun a counter movement as
the following will show.
A delegate convention of col
ored mechanics, representing Mis-
souri,, Illinois and several of the
southern states, convened at st.
Louis, Missouri, August 25th to or
ganize colored mechanical asso-
citation, with local branches in all
cities. This body is not identified
or affiliated with any other labor
organization. Its object is CO.
operation for mutual benefits and
opportunity for employment. IL. w.
Pearson of st. Louis was chosen
temporary chairman and w. ID.
Remington, Jr., of Springfield,
secretary. There were thirty dele
gates present, representing six
states.

planned above is certain to repro

'The days were superb. Cool, sweet

was necessary for Jones and Smith,
who had only one blanket apiece, te
keep a fire roaring at their feet all
the while they slept. The moment
the fire dwindled the cold seized them.
Well, in the dead watches Jones
awoke one night and shivered His

The fire had shrunken to handful of
gray ashes, wherein glimmered only

Comfort demanded that the fire be
replenished, but Jones hated to crawl

would feel the cold, and then would he
not, perhaps, leap up and throw on
