II is well known that whereas nothing can
he more indicate than specific comment on
the foible of an individual, it is always leGlti-
mate. to gcncralize in the most offensive manner
on 4 foible shared by n great many people. Con
scious Of our safety, therefore, we venture to
make an inquiry. Why is it that little Percy
PoDiov who used to be content TO sign him
self thus when his verseIets found a safe If
obscure harbor in the poets corner of country
weekly, now finds it necessary, as he hauntS
himself in tailpiece honors within the pages OF
Il magazine. to asSail the world as Pcrciyal VII
berforce Popjoy? Why does John Smith, with
increasing popularity as a writer Of short
stories. call himself John TWcmoW Smith? In
short, why this passion for a middle name? 1t
makes many an author seem terribly pcrten-
toue and we are sure that it uses up, in the
course Of a year, a prodigiouS quantity of type
Of course the humblest of Us is entitled to the
use OF his OWN name no matter how cumbrous
II may be. But we Shrewdly suspect that the
middle name, for purposes of print. is some
thin" of n fashion and a fad, like the TOO ut
terly sombre. poetic and even tragical express
sion which your best seller is apt TO put on
when he faces the camera with a view to pub

Awake. awake. thou heavy sprite

Seek Heaven early, seek it late,
True Faith finds still an open gate.

Yet burns out thy life's lamp in vain!
One minute bounds thy bane or bliss.

.DEMENTED YOUTH
RUNS OVER SNOW
IN BARE FEET
veda PerrauIt- Escaped from
Home by Window,
WITHOUT COAT OR SHOES
Fire Alarm Was Runs to Summon
Searohers-Boy Found Early
This Morning.

Considerable excitement was created
between and o'clock this morning
by the ringing in OF fire alarm from
q box on Gage street. When the de
partment responded 1t was ascertained
that there was no fire, but that the
alarm had been sent in by some un
known person to call out the firemen
for searching expedition.
The person whose disappearance re-
suited in the alarm, is Veda Perrault
a partially demented youth residing
with his parents on Park street. Yes.
terday he was more than usually IRE.
sponsible and Joseph Sausville, who
had previously cared for the boy, was
called to the house. Perrault about
1890 said that he was going to bed and
after removing his coat and shoes went
up stairs. A few minutes later Saus
vile heard window being raised and
hurried up stairs just in time to see
Perrault jump to the ground
Sausyille gave chase and followed
Perrault down County street to the
electric railroad track and thence to
Gulliver's corners. Here he gave up
the task and returned to the village,
but when near the Soldiers home
looked back and saw Perrault follow
ing behiud. Sausyille caught the boy
and hurried him home in order to
keep bis feet from freezing, as the BOY
kicked of his stockings in his flight.
While Sausville was chasing the boy
some one became over anxious and
turned in an alarm.

BY going to far Off Australia, Jack
johnson, tn e colored heavyweight
champion, has done more in two min
utes to boost his reputation than he
could have done in this country In a
year.. Johnson last week knocked out
Peter Felix, the best colored heavy
weight in Australia, in the first round.
Felix is cousin Of Peter jackson,
who is still believed by many to have
been the best colored nsnIer that ever
lived.
Those Americans who either side
stepped Johnson or else positively
drew the color line, proved the wisdom
Of their actions. Johnson for years
went along in this country getting an
occasional match, but none of the big
purses in the West fell into his lap.
Finally, about the only opponent he
could get was Joe Jeanette Johnson
and Jeannette had so many bouts that
they were gradually getting looked up
on as sparring partners.
In Philadelphia, where johnson has
been seen in many settos, it Is general
ly considered that the white men have
been wise in not meeting johnson in
IhC 1AhEo. =.
Even the best friends of *Philadel-
phia Jack" OBrien frankly admit that
Johnson would defeat the Quaker.
OBrien has fought many Negroes, in
Guiding Walcott and Young Peter
Jackson, but he never hafIkered for q
bout with johnson. Je0ries, too, met
colored men, but he couIdn't be tempt
ed into fight with jack
Tommy Burns never dFew the color
line, but he didn't maks any wild eff
forts to get into the ring with the col
ored champion.
A few more victories like Johnson
secured over Felix and the white heav
les of the country will either be COM
pelled to fight him upon his return to
the United States or else their claims
to the championship will be given even
a lower rating than they are at pres
ent.

One Assistant Superinten.
dent of 20. Branch, 9th
er immigration Inspector

= New York City, N. Y, Feb. I9,
1907.-There is considerable discus
sion gofrlg the rounds In New York
Just at this time over the recent ac-
complement Of Mr. Charles w. An
derson,' the United States internal
revenue collector, this city, on ac-
count of his successful effort in push
ing two Of his party co-workers over
the dead line" formerly maintained
In two of the government depart
ments; one in the postoffice depart
'ment, In this city, and the other in
the immigration bureau at Ellis Is
land. Heretofore the prevailing GUS
tom has been accepted, without sug-
gestion to the contrary, that colored
men receive appointments for posi-
ttons in the postofflce departments no
htgher than .clerkships. Last week,
however, through the individual eff
forts Of Mr. Anderson&, the postmas-
ter, Mr.. William R. Wilcox, appoint
ed Mr. Alexander King, an assistant
superintendent, assigning him to the
Wall street branch of the New York
postoffice. The significance Of the
appointment is this, that an assistant
superintendent Is a member OF the
commissioned force of the postoffice,
and is In line for promotion to all
places, up to that of assistant post
master. The dead line,"' hitherto,
has been at the position of clerk, no
colored man ever having been made
an assistant superintendent in this
city since the postoffice was estab-
lished. Mr.. Kings assignment to the
Wall street branch, makes him as
sistant superintendent Of the richest
territory in the United States. The
other promotion secured by Mr.. An
derson was that Of Mr.. Solomon
Johnson as immigration inspector at
Ellis Island. This brings two colored
men within the charmed circle of
commissioned officers. Mr.. Johnson
and Mr.. King are very competent
and representative citizens of New
York.
