ANCESTORS.
By DUNCAN n. SMITH

It's fine to have an ancestor.
A king pirate only.
Who went forth with fierce mustache
And made the high seas lonely,
Or even just robber chief,
Who led his force to battle
And killed the ones he didn't like
And rounded up their cattle.
We decorate our humble walls
With pictures of their features
AS though they had been pure as snow
And very lovely creatures.
But, looking ct 1t in the light
OF all the circumstances.
We'd hate to meet them late at night
Alone and take our chances.
And had they not been dead and COMO
For many and many a season.
Wed swear they'd have to mend theil
ways
Or we would know the reason.
It's ell RICH. for an ancestor
Perhaps to cut such capers.
But in this day / fear they would
Be roasted by the papers.
Ard yet in spite of every fault
And every shady story
We like to hang them up that We
May get reflected glory.
But still in spite Of all our praise.
Our proud, pulled up harangu1nea
They needed. il the truth were told
The other kind Of hanging.

Those Who Testified Against
Shea Afraid of Being Rough
~ Treated.
SHEA HEARS FROM WIFE
TELLS HIM THAT SHE WOULD
RATHER HAVE BEEN GUILTY
THAN BE AN INFORMER LIKE
YOUNG HAS BECOME.
Publishers Press. ]

Chicago, Dec. 6.-Fearful that they
will be slain by followers of the men
against whom they are testifying, wit
nesses at the trial of the transfers
on trial for conspiracy to ruin firms
involved in the drivers strike of 1905,
told the court today that no two are
permitted to spend the night in the
same place and that none of them
sleeps twice under the same roof.
They are heavily guarded by detec-
tives whenever they take step out
side the court room.
President Shea of the Transfers
Union and his thirteen followers
smiled as these precautions were re-
lated. The men who entered pleas
of guilty and became witnesses for
the state, assert howeve., that they
feel by no means sure they will get
through the trial alive and that they
will have to flee for their lives if
they secure their liberty and are cast
upon the streets.
Perjury is Charged.
Joe Schultz, confessed chief slug
GER during the strike and one of the
Sldl WllACOoCo III thC plOoCSuIHOAp
admitted that Bill Turner, one of his
detective guards. has bought him an
overcoat and furnished him with
small sums of money since the trial
began. He denied that his testimony
was based in this way and declared
that some assistance was necessary
to enable him to live until the hear
ing is completed
His admission brought forth an in
slant demand from the defenses law
yers for his arrest on charge of per-
jury-a request refused by the court
on the ground that nothing he had
said proved him to have testified fall
sely.
Mrs Cornelius p Shea became a
factor in the case today by offering
encouragement to her husband in
long letter in which she referred to
Albert Young, the states chief wit
ness as "squealer"
IF it comes to the worst" the let
ter concludes, Il would rather we'd
stand it than have you an informer
like Young"

A Labosed Effort.
Ready Made Thoughts.

Neaay Mace lno04niS.
A society that proposes to place
canned thought on the market Is being
organized in the west.
What we need to develop the race
and make it great and powerful is not
a thought factory into which a man
might step on his way home and, lay
ing down a quarter, take home a pack
age Of tinted thought to the loved
ones. No in led.
We should rather encourage men to
take thought culture exercises SO that
they might do a neat line of thinking
for themselves. Ready made thought
might do in social functions, but for
the actuaIities Of life 1t would hardly
be small boy trying to look over a
ten foot board fence.
Instead Of depending on trust for
our thoughts, let the full grown citizen
spend half an hour thinking each
morning, being careful not to think
loud enough to wake the neighbors.

NEGROES of New York Hold In
dignation Meeting Over
Brownsville Affair.
FLAMING SPEECHES MADE
EVIDENCE INTRODUCED CLAIM
ING TO SHOW THAT WHITE
MEN AND NOT NEGROES DID
THE SHOOTING.
publishers Press.I


New York, Dec. 6.-No matter what
attention congress shall take in the
dismissal of the battalion of the
Twenty Fifth Infantry by order of
President Roosevelt for shooting
up Brownsville, Tex, the New York
negroes intend to try and force the
President OF reconsider his action. At
a meeting held tonight in st. Marks
VI. +. church resolutions were adopt
ed demanding that the action of the
war department be reversed. Despite
the fact that hard rain was falling
during the meeting the edifice was
crowded to the doors and an over
flow meeting had to be held on the
street corner. Speeches were made
by all of the negro preachers in New
York and by Gi,>rist Stewart, pres
ident of the Constitutional League
who was sent to Brownsville to con-
duct an investigation of the matter.
Stewart made a report of what he
had learned in Brownsville, claiming
that he had affidavits to prove that
the men who did the shooting in
Brownsville were white men and not
negroes, and he declared that the
officers who found exploded cartridge
shells which they claimed had been
picked up by citizens in the street
erred in their characterization. He
claimed that only four men of the
battalion were out of their quarters
the night of the shooting, and also
claims to be able to prove by reput-
able citizens of Brownsville that the
officers who reported on the case
were prejudiced against the negro
soldiers

PITH AND POINT.

Many a good man eats with his
knife.
Private life is like q secret-there is
no such thing.
The hardest critics are usually those
who can't do very much themselves.
A ten dollar a day man never earns
who draws only 81.
There are times when we all envy q
baby who can give vent to its feelings
by throwing itself on its back and
kicking and screaming.

"You are very late, sir knight" she

Then he kissed the outstretched lit

q small package in one palm and a

then he wished Her Highness a very

courteous Fluctuations for all the royal
relatives.

down again. The silence heightened
until it became oppressive to the

his pardon, and told him again that
they were "all gone"
