social amusement and waste upon
hobbies, we should save for sober
use. We must make business for
ourselves if We would ever see
our young folks employed in bust

The Losses at Mukden.

We read the report that 200,0 men
were killed and wounded on both sides
in the battle of Mukden without fully
realizing what those awful figures
mean. Here are few aids to the
Imagination. Two hundred thousand
casualties equal:
Three hundred Iroquois theater dis
asters.
A hundred and fifty Slocum disas~
ters.
Eighty Johnstown floods.
Thirty Galveston floods.
The total population, men. women
and children-of a city like Minneap-
oils.
The population of the states of Ida
ho and Nevada combined.
The entire Boer population, of both
sexes and all ages, of the two South
African republics which resisted the
whole power of the British empire
for over two years.-Collier's Weekly.

QUICK WORK SAVED LIFE.
Fast Choking Man Relieved by Primi-
tive Operation.

tive Operation,
In one of the most fashionable res
taurants in Paris last spring mans
life was saved through the skill and
quickness of one of the guests. 1t ap-
pears that man, with three friends.
was dining at one of the small tables.
when piece of meat lodged in his
throat and he found it impossible to
get rid of it. His friends in alarm
slapped him on the back, but the I'M
fortunate man became black in the
face and fell to the floor.
A surgeon from the German hospi-
tai, who happened to be dining in the
cafe, pushed his way through the
crowd. He saw at once that the man
was dying and that if prompt meas
ures were not taken he would quick
ly succumb. He ordered one of the
walters to bring him a small funnel
such as is used in bottling wine, and
then, without moments hesitation,
took out sharp knife, cut the mans
throat, removed the piece of meat,
and-the waiter having returned
quickly inserted the funnel in the
opening. The man was then hastily
conveyed to the hospital, where sill
yer tube was inserted in the place of
the funnel, and a few hours later he
was pronounced out of danger.

An Ingenious Boy.

Not many years ago a frolicsome
youngster s years old, who was attend
ing one of the district schools in
Barre, met an emergency in the fol
Lowing way:
He was sitting in an open window
a. the noon recess, and, seeing the
teacher coming, jumped down, catch
ing the seat of his trousers on a nail
as he did SO, and tearing out large
Piece where it would be the most con-
spicuous. What to do he did not
know.
He could not appear in school in
that predicament, and did not want to
lose the half day. Retiring to a con-
venient shelter. he removed his shoes
and trousers. From one of the shoes
he took the string, and using the sharp
point on the end for needle, he care
fully caught the rent together well
enough to pass muster for the rest of
the day, when he marched home in
triumph for further repairs.

WHOSE FAULT is 1T.

Whose fault is it that the color
ed mans industrial and CONNER
cial interests do not improve fast
er than they do? Whose fault is
it that young men and women do
not find agreeable and inspiring
employment to start them on in the
world when they come out of
school? Why is it that we do not
seem to exert as much respect as
an equal number of people of any
other nationality, although the
latter may have been citizens of
this country but a very limited
time? We are in the habit of
blaming all these things to the
unjust prejudice of the white peo-
pie, who ought we think, to furn-
ish us all the benefits and oppor-
tunities that they furnish their
own.
Our disappointment and discour-
agement over these points of moral
obligations and social duty have
sacrificed a great many ambitions
and completely demoralized great
many lives, and still we seem to be
generally ohlivious of the funda-
mental fact involved that the
fault is largely, if not all our own.
Everybody is coming to under
stand that the colored man must
do just as other people do, to get
himself equally respected with
them. We make the boast that
there are very few colored beggers.
The most of us get employment
of some kind. When our earnings
are all averaged up, we make very
good wages. But what we most
need is to be taught early the
great Importance of saving what
we earn and starting business to
cater to the needs of the general
public.
If we have what the public
needs, the public VIII not hesitate
because we are Negroes. Business
success is natural and sure re-
suit of careful and wise business
venture. One business success
leads to another. But we must
catch the modern business idea,
and aim to do things well. Tho

The Citizen
Soldier of
Our Armies

So little did some appreciate the
real character of the citizen soldier
that when the civfl war ended there
that the country would be flooded
with great hordes of idlers or worse,
whom the life of the camp had unfit
ted for the ways of orderly industry.
These evil prophecies were not full
filed.
In the light of what we have learned
but needed not to have been taught of
the character of the citizen soldier we
may see clearly enough that these pre-
dictions were wholly unwarranted.
The upbuilders of the nation in its in
fancy, the thriftiest and most progress
sive men in the thirteen original
states, were largely drawn from the
citizen army of the revolution. More
over. the musket bearers of the revo-
luton became the pioneers in the
west, the state makers of the wilder
ness beyond the Alleghanies.
1t was not due to any partiality that
every member save one of Washing
toms first cabinet was his comrade in
arms. The ability of the country had
been enlisted in the great struggle for
national independence, and the conti-
mental army was therefore the best
source from which the first President
could draw aid and counsel in laying
the foundations of the federal govern
ment. Thus have we seen that the
spirit which distinguishes a citizen
army, inspiring the soldier in tho be-
ahning and throughout, finds it's sm-
pl&st and joyfulest expression al she
end Of the conflict in converting the
energy of swords into that of plow-
shares and reaping in paths of peace
the harvest of devotion in fields of
war.
War did not make the men of the
udion armies.
1t was observed, with some express
Gon of astonishment, by Gen. Grant
that whatever kind of mechanical
skill was required for the varied works
aud labors of camp or siege or march,
from a single brigade could always be
drawn more than enough artisans of
every class and of the highest degree
OF efficiency for any task. from the
smallest to the largest, of repair or
construction. The most varied and
unusual skill could always be found in
abundance among the private soldiers.
Here again we learn that all i'm
portant lesson that the defender of
the country was citizen before he
was soldier, and not the less an eff
cient fighting man for that. That he
was SO good citizen, indeed, is the
reason why he made so good soldier.
1t was not the war which made great
men of those leaders who having TAX.
en- part in that memorable conflict, af-
terward distinguished themselves in
the councils of peace. They were men
Of unusual powers in embryo before
the war, and as rule would have ris-
en- to distinction among their fellows
IL there had been no war. Many. in
deed, became more illustrious in peace
than they ever were in strife.

Trlumph of the American Hen.

Honor to the hen! She has accom-
plished unaided what the administra-
tion and the attorney general haven't
succeeded in doing yet. She has
smashed trust and busted corner.
1t is reported from Iowa that the big
packing firms are going out of the
butter, egg and poultry busfKess. The
explanation is that for year their
attempted egg corner has failed to
make good The hens went to laying
at the wrong and unexpected time apd
before the public had been forced
to take the millions of dozens of eggs
that the packing trust had in cold
storage awaiting fancy prices the hens

this explanation is complete or not.

PROVING an Alibi.

Jones is a well-known young law
yer, who some time ago established
his home in one of the nearby sub
urbs where cot with an acre and a
COW is supposed to be the earthly par
adise. His old chum Brown, also of
the bar, after hearing of the rural de-
lights for long time consented finally
to spend Sunday on ''the farm" He
was received with all the honors and
all the attractions were shown to him.
At each meal he had to listen to
eulogies of "our own make" viands.
He stood patiently our own milk, let
tuce from that frame you saw, peas
off the vine in the back lot and so on
until it go to Harry, l can recon-
mend this chicken specially. I raised
it myself"
Then the worm turned with a sad
sweet smile and remarked:

i'm all the hospitals OF pain-on an
the weary marches. We stand guard
with them in the wild storm and un-
der the quiet stars. We are with
them in ravines running with blood
in the burrows of old fields. We are
with them between contending hosts.
unable to move, wild with thirst, the
life ebbing slowly away among the
withered leaves. We see them pierced
by balls and torn with shells, In the
trenches, by forts, and in the whirl-
wind of the charge, where men be-
come iron, with nerves of steel.
We are with them in the prisons OF
hatred and famine; but human speech
can never tell what they endured.
We are at home when the news
comes that they are dead. We see
the maiden in the shadow of her first
sorrow. We see the silvered head of
the old man bowed with the last grief.
The past rises before us, and we
see four millions of human beings
governed by the Iash-we see them
bound hand and foot-we hear the
strokes of cruel whips-we see the
gled swamps. We see babes sold from
the breasts of mothers. Cruelty un-
speakable! Outrage infinite!
Four million bodies in chains-four
million souls in fetters. All the sacred
relations of wife, mother. father and
child trampled beneath the brutal feet
of might. And all this was done un-
der our own beautiful banner of the
free.
The past rises before us. We hear
the roar and Shrek of the bursting
shell. The broken fetters fall. These
heroes die. We look. Instead of
slaves we see men and women and
children. The wand of progress touch
es the auction block, the slave pen,
the whipping post, and we see homes
and firesides and schoolhouses and
books, and where all was want and
crime and cruelty and fear we see the
faces of the free.
These heroes are dead. They died
for liberty-they died for us. They
are at rest. They sleep in the land
they made free, under the flag they
rendered stainless, under the solemn
pines, the sad hemlocks, the fearful
willows, and the embracing vines.
They sleep beneath the shadows of
the clouds, careless alike of sunshine
or of storm, each in the windowless
palace of Rest. Earth may run red
with other wars-they are at peace.
In the midst of battle, in the roar
of conflict, they found the serenity of
death. l have one sentiment for sol
diers living and dead; Cheers for the

Cheers for the
Living. Tears

Col. InsersoII
Col. Ingersoll

The past arises before me. as it
were, like dream. Again we are in
the great struggle for national life.
We hear the sounds of preparation
the music of boisterous drums-the
silver voices of heroic bugles.
We see thousands of assemblages.
and hear the appeals of orators; we
see the pale cheeks of women, and
the flushed faces of men; and in those
assemblages we see all the dead
whose dust we have covered with
flowers. We lose sight of them no
more.
We are with them when they enlist
in the great army of freedom. We
see them part with those they love
Some are walking for the last time in
quiet, woody places, with the riaidens
they adore. We hear the whisperings
and the sweet VOWS of eternal love as
they lingeringly part forever. Others
are bending over cradles, kissing
babes that are asleep.
We see them all as they march
proudly away under She Haunting
flags, keeping time to the grand, wild
music of war-marching down the
streets Of the great cities-throuab
the towns and across the prairies-
down to the fields of glory, to do ana
to die for the eternal right.

age, Lord.

The strike situation in Chicago
is yet very far from unsettled con-
ditions and it looks as though that
troops will have to be called out to
preserve peace. The business
men seem to be firm in their state
ment that under no consideration
will they take back the men who
went out on the strike. They no
doubt have experienced the re-
suit of unemployment of strikers,
who will, at any time, at the COM
mand of their officials, go on a
strike. We commend this stand
taken by the business men, and
hope that as a result of this strike,
that the Negro will reap a great
reward.

prejudice, and not the hateful
anathemas which they may hurl
back at our prosecutors. So should
all Negroes cease the battle of
vituperation and scorn and take up
the policy of moral measurement
and material progress. This would
be in conformity with the wisest
dictates of nature and the immuta-
BILE law of God. Presumption, pre-
judice, arrogance and injustice are
destined to be destroyed and re
moved from the relations of races
in America, but only by and
through the rebuke of superior at
tainments in the Negro.

Have All a Nations cratituda

nave All Nations Gratitude
1t has been said that republics are
ungrateful, but that is not true of the
people who live in this one. The old
remember too well, and the young
have learned to know the grandeur of
the struggle that maintained the in
tegrity of the nation. The emblem of
the Grand Army has come to be sa-
cred, and the tatterea f1ags of '61 fill
the eyes with tears.
The soldiers of the great war
are growing old, and the sentiment of
pity has no place in the observance
of Memorial day. Rather do we glory
in the strength that after forty years
on the march of life still reviyifies
the footsteps of the veterans as they
touch elbows once more and hear the
music of the old war songs. Rather
do we thrill with pride at the many
stalwart figures that carry their years
as lightly as If the spirit of patriotism
mad proved in some sort a fountain
OF youth. Rather do we envy those
men that they had share in one of
the holiest and-to the vision of to-
Gay-the most romantic war the world
has ever seen.

March On unda,,nt.a

The Grand Army of the Republic IS
undaunted by age and death. All its
great mmanders-Lincoln, Grant,
Sherman. Sheridan, Thomas, McClel-
Ian, Hancock, Farragut, Porter-have
been taken from it. But it does not
swerve in its onward march.
The great majority of its comrades
nave fallen before the grim enemy Of
us all. But its more than decimated
ranks do not waver.
1t is no longer the body OF youths it
vas on the first Memorial day in 1868.
But 1t moves on, unresting, to the
great reunion beyond the river and to
Its appointed companionship with the
heroes of history.

Decoration Day

Sleep. comrades. sleep and rest,
On this field of the grounded arm
Where foes no more molest
Nor sentrys shot alarmsi
Ye have slept on the ground before
And started to your feet
AT the cannon's sudden roar
Or the drums redoubling beat
But in this camp of death
No sound your slumber breaks;
Here is no fevered BREATH
Nor wound that bleeds and aches.
All is repose and peace.
Untrampled lies the sod;
The shouts of battle cease,
1t is the truce of God!
Rest, comrades, rest and sleep!
The thoughts of men shall be
As sentinels to keep
Your rest from danger free,
Your silent tents of green
We deck with fragrant flowers:
Yours has the suffering been,
The memory shall be ours
