A BRIEF RECORD OF THE COL.
oRED SOLDIERS.
For the Scrap Book.
By w. P. Dabney.

In the Colonial Wars, beginning
early in the 18th century, the Negro
distinguished himself as a protector of
homes and also as a soldier.
Crispus Attucks, a Negro, was the
first American killed in conflict with
English soldiers, March 5, 1770
Peter Salem, a Negro, conspicuous
in many battles, particularly at Bun
ker Hill, June II, 1775, where he
killed the English commander, Major
Pitcairn.
Salem Poor, a Negro, in the same
battle earned the title of hero and
gained a monument
In the Revolutionary War thou
sands Of Negroes were engaged and
received honorable mention Over
5000 fought vaIiantly
In the War of 1912 the Negroes
were commended both as soldiers and
sailors, particularly at the battle of
New Orleans, under Gen. Jackson, and
on the lakes under Perry and McDon
ough.
In the Civil Wal over 100000 en-
listed. Notably brave. Many great
heroes, both on land and sea.
The first blood shed in the Civil
War was that of Nicholas Biddle, a
colored man, G5 years old, who en-
tered Washington with the Washing
ton Artillery at Pottsville, Pa.
The storming of Port Hudson and
Fort Wagner by Negro soldiers rank
among the most heroic and desperate
charges in history.
Sergeant w. H. Carney, at Fort
Wagner, though desperately wounded,
held aloft the flag and when borne
to the hospital whispered Boys, the
old flag never touched the ground"
Robert Smalls, great Negro pilot,
captured a Confederate vessel, "The
Planter" in 1862.
Since that great conflict Negro sol
diers took part in many bloody con-
fiicts with Indians and during the
Spanish American War covered them
selves with glory at La Juasima FL
Caney. San Juan Hill and in the Phil
ippines.
The colored regiments at present
in the service, famous throughout the
world, are the 9th and 10th cavalary
and the oath and 25th infantry. Many
of their members have been retired
after long years of honorable mention
or promotion. Sergeant Geo. Berry,
10th cavalary, retired Nov. 1, 1898,
after thirty years of service, planted
the United States flag under heavy
fire on the top of San Juan Hill
When the Rough Riders needed
food, Sergeant Mingo Saunders, vet
eran of 26 years honorable service.
and his comrades, gave up their ra-
tions.

The Popularity of the Piano is In
creasina Every Year.

Not many years ago the possession
of such a thing as a piano or organ
was considered extravaganza, and teW
indeed outside the rich enjoyed these
luxuries. With march of progress and
extension of education largely due to
our pubic school system, the piano
has become not a luxury but neces-
sity, and no home, however humble,
wAele children are being raised, can
afford to be without this valuable ad-
junct.
Another reason why the piano has
become popular household fixture
is the easy manner in which. they
can be acquired One does not have
to hoard his savings for years in or
der to buy piano nowadays. All
that is necessary is to make up your
mind to curtail expenses a few dollars
"a month and the instrument is paid
for without missing the money.
The old and reliable house of Sher-
man, Clay & Co., with branch stores
in every important town and city on
the Pacific Coast, carry the largest
and most complete stock of pianos of
any dealer in the West. They are Pa

The clover smells Of sun and rain.
And spreads carpet for our feet
