The Pilgrim Magazine for May, one
of the best known of the pictorial
monthlies, offers, as a special feat
ure, double page group of portraits
of "Living American Composers
one hundred and seventy-five in mum
ber, accompanied by such data as the
music lover, amateur, or professional
wishes to know of his favorite's work
Such a feature has never before beer
attempted by any magazine, and it'
value should result In the preserva
tion of The Pilgrim for May. The al
most endless work of gathering thu
portraits no doubt is compensated fol-
in the ultimate success of the under

Love Of Flowers.

Baltimore Herald: It's we'll known
that people who love flowers are much
more refined than those who do not
and It has been often demonstrated
that children who love flowers and
plants rarely even turn out to be bad
men and women. The exercise they get
caring for the flowers is of untold bene
fit to- them physically. Also 1t 10 a
great advantage to them to know just
how flowers grow and their seasons to
bloom. Itis almost impossible for one
who knows and is devoted to flowers
not to have lively and perfect faith.
So, from every point of view, the cul.
tivation of flowers 10 of advantage and
a means of education. 1t is not at all
necessary to have a large plot OF
ground, or even any ground at ALA
boz in the window or a few pots to
begin with will start you on this road
to higher things.

Prof. William Benjamin Smith, in
his recently published volume, "The
Color Line" that the race question is
solving itself day by day, and the
argument with which he backs up his
belief 10 starting In the extreme. The
conclusion reached In his bo ,k, frankly
stated, 10 this: That the negro race
Is gradually dying on, it, poorer stoch
and its lack of endurance making II
incapable of resisting the influence
of modern civilized life. just - In
a few years We shall have NO Indians
to speak of In the United States, u
thinks Prof. simth In few centuries
we shall have no negroes here. These
statements he backs up . strong array
of statistics that make his argument
practically impreguable.

"watchman, What OF the Nightp"

"Watcnman, what OF the Nlght?"
Ancient history tells us that the
time of night was kept by watchmen
set apart for such duty. In our time
we have time.pieces to mark the
passing of the hours, yet we still have
the watchman to mark their events
and transactions. Much depended
then on the faithfulness OF the watch.

The duties devolving on those officials
of ancient times were very different
from the duties of officials of the
twentieth century, and it may be
safely said radically different from
the duties of the Official of Hillsboro.
But it is OF the conditions and officials
of Hillsboro that notice Is being taken
In this article.
It may be safely asserted that no
two years in the history of the model
