A CURE FOR NAGGING.

OF course since Woman has become
new she has, in measure, stopped
"nagging." At least, the newest have.
1t is asserted that all women, both old
and new, can stop if they want to. All
they need to do is to become Christian
Scientists. There are no nagging wives
and mothers among true Christian Sci
entists," said one of the best known
teachers and practitioners Of that cult.
Our faith does away with nagging and
the irritability that cause SO many un-
happy homeo." The testimony of this
witness is that she has seen unhappy
homes made happy, and tired, nervous,
fagged-out women made contented and
rested by a realizing sense Of the truth
that peace and harmony are the law
of our being"
We have no doubt that there is much
in this. And we also have no doubt
that Christian Science is good for nag
ging men too. AS the Boston Herald
correctly points out, some of the worst
naggers are men. They mag about
the punctuality or the cooking of the
meals about the conduct of the chill
dren, the expenses of the household
particularly those which do not minis
ter directly to their own qualification
and a dozen other things that offer an
opportunity for venting their disagree
able tempers'
Let us all pay enough attention to
Christian Science to stopnagging. Then
we shall be happier and more agreeable
in this world, and our chances for the
next will be much improved.

LEOPOLD AND THE CONGO STATE.

LEOPOLD AND THE CONGO STATE.
In his letter to the Congo Reform
Committee King Leopold of Belgium
defined his personal relations to the
Congo State as follows: All the re-
sponsibilities and the organization Of a
government unfettered by other au-
thority have been left to my care The
Congo is essentially a personal under
taking. There is no more legitimate or
honorable right than that of reaping
the fruit Of ones own labor The Pow
ers accorded their good will to the birth
Of the new State, but not one was called
upon to participate In my efforts; hence
it follows that none has the right of in
tervention, which nothing could justify.
The Powers were duly notified of the
choice made by the State as to the re-
glne of neutrality and other limita-
tons. No objections were raised at
the time. The law of nations regulates
the relations between sovereign Pow
ers; there is no special international
law for the Congo State. The Berlin
act made certain stlpulations with re-
spect to the conventional basin of the
Congo. These regulations apply equal
ly to other States with holdings there,
but they in no sense affect the rights of
possession. The questions of territorial
sovereignty-that is, precisely those
which underlie the constitution Of
States-were expressly and by common
accord omitted from the programme of
the Berlin conference. My rights in
the Congo are indivisible; they are the
product of personal labor and expense.
You must miss no opportunity Of pro-
claiming these rights; they alone can
render possible and legitimate my De-
quest of the Congo to Belgium, which
has no title but what reverts to her
my person. If I allow them to
be contested. Belgium would be de-
prived of any power to make good such
title.

An Exp1A1NINe EXPLANATION

An Explaining EXPLANATION.
In addressing the bankers of West
Virginia Senator Elkins admitted that
he was in complete ignorance of how,
when and where poverty was to be ban
ished. but that it would be banished he
was sure, even to the point Of absolute
certainty. The difficulty, according to
Senator Elkins, is not in the accumula-
ton of wealth by the fortunate to the
exclusion of its accumulation by others;
nor is the difficulty in the Indifference
of the bull to the bear when Taurus
has Ursus on his horns, nor in the in
difference of Ursus to the sufferings Of
Taurus when the situation is reversed.
In his opinion the whole trouble lies in
the unintelligent distribution of wealth.
Guess the distinguished Senator
knows what he is talking about. Any
how, his explanation of the situation is
a good one. Wealth is certainly dis
tributed very Inintelligently, as those
of us who haven't been included in the
distribution can testify,

NEGRO BUSINESS MAN.
Raised Seventy-two thousand Bushels

Gle in the American Illustrated Maga-

in Business He tells of the really
remarkable success of Il particular
negro. Groves by name. and then
tells what Groves says about it. Mr.
Washington says:
But why is MIR. Groves called "The
Negro Potato King" Let me
answer. Last year. he produced upon
his farm 72,150 bushels of white po-
tatoes, averaging 245 bushels to the
acre. So far as reports show, this
was 1850 bushels more than any
other individual grower in the world
produced. And besides the potatoes
raised on his own farm, Mr.. Groves
buys and ships potatoes on large
scale. Last year he bought from
white growers in the Kaw Valley, and
shipped away twenty-five cars of
white potatoes. He also bought
fourteen cars of fancy seed potatoes
in North and South Dakota, which he
sold to growers in the Kaw Valley,
and in Oklahoma and The Indian Ter.
ritory. Mr.. Groves says that he ships
potatoes and other farm products to
nearly every portion OF the United
States, and TO Mexico and Canada.
Al tne recent meeting ol tne M
tional Negro Business League in New
York, Mr.. Groves was asked how he
was able to conduct so varied and
large business enterprises, when he
had had no education as business
man.
You have children. haven't you?"
Mr. Groves replied.

them are grown up now.
