rollment and past history, but life is
accomplishment and measured by this
standard, this Negro school is the
most marvellous of the institutions OF
its kind.
A retrospective view OF Tuskeges
seems mose like some Oriental story

freeman, nurtured through years by
his own unaided efforts, it has come
to be known the world over and has
brought recognition TO its creator that

There is difference Of opinion as
10 the sdvisabihty Of the Peoples
Sunday Alliances proposal to run q
colored candidate for the school
board. First Of all, the question OF
the timeliness Of the move is ques.
toned. Then comes the propriesy OF
raising the color question at this time
when we have the assurance that col.
ored girls will not be Disseminated
against whenever they come up to the
requirements Of the school board for
teachers. Tho impossibility Of the
election Of a colored candidate is
granted and some see in the defeat,
exposure Of the weakness OF eolored
voting strength, and consequent loss
OF prestige in public matters.
The promoters Of the proposal,
claim for ii that colored man has as
great right to run for office as 4 white
man and should stand as we'll with
his own people as white candidates.
They further claim that il will bs
powerful moral agent il our votes arc
cast together once, giving one another
the assurance that cur whole force is
united for the benefit Of each, and at
the same time serviog as a protest
against the neglect and illtreatment
which the race receives at the hands
Of white political leaders.

Bonmots of Rossini and Twain.

A young student who had almost rs
high an opinion of ROssini's musical
genius as of his own submitted to the
maestro funeral march which he had
composed to the memory OF Meyer
beer. When the youth had played the
piece over he turned expectantly to
receive ROssinis enthusiastic applause.

Although John Sharp Williams was
conducting a fillbuster in the house one
day and he and Speaker Cannon had
several sharp clashes with each other,
there was no rupture of their friendly

Replying to an inquiry from Williams,
Cannon said.

One of the most curious of the many
queer medieval customs was that
known as THE truce of God" From
what we have been able to learn of 1t
the custom appears to have originated
as an outgrowth of a desire to protect
the common people. to some extent at
least against the lawless tyranny of
the feudal lords of the middle ages. 1t
was first decreed at u church synod
which convened at ROussillon in the
year 1927. BY this decree 1t was pro-
vided that no man should attack his
enemy between Saturday evening at
nones and Monday morning at the
hour of prime. About the year 1882 a
similar compact was entered into be-
tween the church and the barons of
England. The church forbade barons
TO make any attack upon each other
between sunset on Wednesday night
and sunrise on the following Monday
or upon any feast or fast day. The
same truce made provision that no
man should be disturbed while labor
ing at his trade or while going to or
from place of worship.

eastern terminus of the road. While
the bill was under consideration ban
quet was held at st. Joseph. 1t was
attended by many of the leading men
of the town. After they had filled up
on champagne a question arose as to
which flag should float from the city
hall The Confederate flag was finally
decided on, and in the morning the
stars and stripes were hauled down
and the stars and bars hoisted. The
news reached Washington that very
day, while the Union Pacific bill was
still under consideration. Senator
Pomeroy moved that the name st. Jo-

and Omaha, Neb., be substituted. The
amendment carried and st. Joseph
