DRIFTING TO THE TOWNS.

Whenever Caucasians criticise the
Atro-American it implies comparison
with the action Of their own race un-
der similar circumstances. The re-.
suit OF fair comparison shows that in
She majority of cases there is a great
resemblance between the two races.
To cite one instance, there has been
much criticism of the Afro-American
TOT his tendency to drift to the towns
aud cities. This however. is not pec,,-
tar to the Afro-American for official
STATISTICS show cOnclusively, that the,
same tendency exists among the
Caucasian race. even in the North and
the same reasons exist in both of the
eases
Among these reasons are the absence
eli church and school privileges in the
country, at all comparable to those
that are found in the towns. This is
specially the case among the Afro
Americans of the South. who are uni
versally compelled, to resort to the
towns to secure suitable educational
and religious advantages
Again under the farming system of
the South, it is almost impossible for
the laborer to make any progress for
at the end of the year, he usually finds
himself destitute and in debt. Event
ually he becomes discouraged and
drifts to the town
We're Caucasian laborers substituted
for the Afro-Americans. the drifting
would be even more general. Again
the Afro-American is very initiative.

badger is tremendous turnover, and
the Jolly dachshund of the jokes has
been trained for centuries in Germany
to go into his burrows like a ferret
after rats and drive the badger out or
fight him. In some German and Aus.
trian cities there were formerly badg.
er-baiting Journeys in which crack
dachshunds entered a pit with an able
bodied badger and fought for points.
1t is said that such contests are still
held in Vienna. For spirit, endurance
and agility the dachshund has no peer
in this work, and bulldog pitted
against a badger would probably find
himself cutting a poor figure.
So, to make the jokes about the
dachshund if you will, but give him
credit for his prowess, and for that
gentleness, characteristic also of the
best bulldogs, that makes either an at.
fectionate companion to man and a
loyal playmate to children. Give the
dachshund credit, too, for intelligence
He has it in large degree. Few dogs
are keener, and probably his acumen
is such that he even sees good many
of the dachshund Jokes.

cHOATE IN CHILDHOOD DAYS

1t is stated Of our late coruscating
ambassador at the court of st. James,
the Hon. Joseph H. Choate, that when
he was little chap he and his Sis
ter had been forbidden by parenea!
authority to go in swimming, or even
to wade on the shore. Nevertheless,
the pair soon made their way to the
beach, and naturally were exposed to
the devices Of Satan.

shoes and stockings" suggested the
tempter, well aware to what this
would lead. Nobody will see u.s."
said the acquiescent "Joe' to his SIS
ter. God will see u.s. was the reply.
But he won't tell" returned the
sharp and precocious infant, who was
already tasting the sweets of forensic
victory. AS no effective response
served to suggest itself, transgression
soon followed, and, it's results were
finally emphasized by the plastic
hand of their mother.
In one of his rambles the impend-
ing ambassador fell in with a little
girl who was weeping. bitterly. what

silently sneaked forward into this
room, and one of the most daring knelt
by the door, his eyes glued to the
crack, his ears extended to their great
est length. The others grouped beside
nd behind him, and waited for him
give out such information as his
coign of vantage might secure.
Among the crowd was one young
man who didn't particularly care
whether any paper got anything or
not. In fact, he would far rather have
scored blank for this particular case,
and thus have gained some other and
more pleasing assignment from his
city editor. This young man cogitat-
ed for one moment, and then, quick as
some huge cat, gave the kneeling spy
at the door tremendous shove.
The kneeling victim shot straight
through the suddenly opening doors,
landing on hands and knees far out
in the auditorium. Another reporter,
who had been leaning against the
doors, fell headlong against him,
bringing up squarely upon his stom-
ach. Two others, unable to regain
their balance, sat down heavily in the
doorway. The remainder of the tribe,
scrambling madly, fled out into the
street, leaving the fallen ones to re-
ceive the wrath of the assembled min
listers.
It might be just as we'll to draw the
veil of silence and of charity over the
subsequent proceedings. = Chicago

Shot AMONG The MINISTER'S

There was a church trial in this
burg not many days ago, a case where
the scandal and its history were kent
beautifully smothered, and where the
"yultures OF the press, . as one aged
minister called them, were baffled from
Alpha to Omega, and from A to lizard
The trial came of, y and the verdict
was deferred for a gponth or two.
So much for the trial. What hap
pened during the first session thereof
Is what concerns this story.
Numerous reporters came to the
trial-and got nothing, which is the
reason no newspaper printed more
than a casual mention of the case.
When the eager scribes gathered at
the church they were received with
great courtesy, and also with the in
formation that the proceedings were
strictly secret. They were then herd
ed into an anteroom and told that they
would be~given a little information
later.
Gathered in this anteroom, the bows
chatted, laughed and formulated mag
mary narratives. This soon palled ND
on them, and they began to figure out
some method of getting at least an
inkling of, the doings.
Their anteroom was behind another
anteroom, and this room, in turn, was
separated from the auditorium of the
church by a big.d double door, the kind
of door where You push both halves
and emerge in the middle. The boys

TRAINED MEN NEEDED.

The Baptist Truth, organ of the
Georgia Baptists. says:
All over Georgia there are churches
without pastors and, schools without
teachers. and among these vacancies
are some of the best positions in these
professions. The rank and file of fut-
ure leaders are not tarrying long
enough over their books to get the
requisite amount OF training to enable
them to hold their own with credit to
themselves and with satisfaction TO the
people,
We presume that no one will deny
that the educational progress of the
Afro-American largely depends upon
his churches and schools and it is GER
tain that he cannot conduct business
enterprises without the aid of duly
qualified men.
We knew of one case down South in
which nearly two hundred Afro-A meri-
cans, some of whom had large means,
attempted to carry on a general store.
AmCng the promoters were many we'll
known who we're we'll versed in poll
tics; at least the result showed that
they knew more about politics than
business, for the concern has just gone

He notices that the owner of the big
plantation does not live on the farm,
but has his town residence where his
family. can enjoy educational, social
and religious advantages. So, so soon
as he is able he initiates the white man
and locates his family in town. for the
very same reasons
Under this regime, both the white
boy and the black boy are town-reared
and know very little about farming.
Their aspirations are not in that direc-
ton. but they wish to be merchants,
lawyers or physicians.
In the case of~the Afro-American the
change is great improvement; for
Afro-American professional men have
been decidedly successful and usually
acquirea fair amount oftOwn property.
1t is ridiculously absurd to contend
that the farming Afro-American of the
South makes better showing than his
brother in the town, who has a good
profession or trade. AS a rule the
town man makes the better showing
and reflects more credit. upon his race.

1t is generally admitted that a
southern exposure is the best for all
houses and should be obtained when
ever possible. It is immaterial wheth-
er the entrance is placed on this side
or not, so long as the rooms most in
use open onto the house.
In dwellings of average size the en-
trance front will also be the front on
which any important room opens,
but in large country houses, the old
distinction of front and back to a
house has disappeared and instead we
have the entrance front and the gar
den front; the service and servants
quarters, so long regarded as charac-
teristic of the "bacz" of a house, may
be relegated to side end or placed
in wing that abuts directly on the
entrance front. In such cases it must
be well screened, and its purpose
thoroughly subordinated-Ame
