that night in uniform. There is
Nor THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT
that they were negro soldiers, for they
were seen by too many Of us, and h
shells found In the streets were those
used only by Uncles Sans troops"
in connection with his testimony
before Mr.. Purdy, Mr.. Mckay has
authorized a statment as follows:
81 was impressed with the alb
solute fairness aud thorough
ness OF Mr.. Purdy's investiga-
ton. He was not looking for
opinions but facts.
"As for the position the president
has taken. | am more than ever con-
WINGED that he has pursued the proper
course and l have NJ fear that he
will not ultimately be sustained.
SQUARE DEAL BY PRESIDENT.
ut has been said that Brownsville
was to blame for her treatment by
the troops. 1t is true that her citi-
zens were o pleased with the idea
Of negro soldiers at the fort, but |
have failed to heal Of any community,
North or South. that mas expressed
any morbid preference for them.
81 know nothing Of the law in the
case, but | do think l know some
thing OF the ethics Of the case, and
the president certainly gave the SOL
diers a square deal.
ut is my opinion that if the
president Is sustained, those
guilty of the crime will be ex-
posed and punished. Just so
long as Mr.. Foraker and
others continue TO hold the
negro soldiers up as heroes,
they will continue to shield
each other.
"When they finally know that the
president Is to stick. those soldiers
who know the facts, and who desire
to save their record and reputation,
will be ready to tell all they know.
My testimony is STRONGLY in support
of the president"

Hardanger embroidery, proper, is In reality
a variety of drawnwork. called-when 1t was
brought out In this country some years ago
by a Danish lady-Norwegian or Swedish
drawnwork, sometimes Scandinavian drawn
work. 1t Is a combination of simple stitches
and open spaces formed by drawing out the
threads leaving bars to be worked over. The
distinctive feature Of Hardanger work-thus
Norway, where q great deal of 1t is done,
even though the claim of its originatior by
the women of Hardanger Is disputed-is the
fat-stitch, In blocks, outlining the design,
with the little drawn squares, either plain or
picoted, filled with a simple stitch or left
open. The work Is done on an open weave
fabric, the threads of which should be alike,
warp and wool, and very evenly woven, In
order to secure the best results. The best
quality Of linen scrm answers admirably for
many purposes, a heavier--tw0-thread or
more-weave being used for others, work
must be outlined by the block -stitches before
any space is cut out. Cut only the edges
which are surrounded by the stitches, never
Be sure that your work Is accurately started.
Most designs are best begun at a corner,
working both ways, although many prefer to
start at the exact center. Having found
this, run thread to the edge, each side,
thus dividing the square In fourths, then
begin at the center to work, counting out
each way. In working a border 1t Is always
best to begin at the edge. The block stitches
differ In size, usually covering or threads.
and either threads or holes may be
counted; most workers prefer the latter
method, thinking 1t less tiresome and this
is true, II the fabric is evenly woven and
