Historical
Colored Book

The Progression of the Race in the United
States and Canada is the title Of a beoh
gotten out by Rev. D. D. Buck. It treats
historically and Geographically Of many Of
the best people of the colored race. 1t 10
printed on good calencered paper and weal
illustrations printed in photo brown ON heavy
double enamel paper. 1t is bound in highest
artistic manner in two styles. One style
is in blue cloth, heavy case bindings. vita
black lettering and a panel picture on its
front. This style sells for $3.50. The othsr.
which sells for $500, is bound ia extra
quality red cloth with heavy case binding.
and is embossed with gold lettering.
There is no historical or biographical
work, nor indeed any book of recent years
which has had the force that this book will
have. Historically and Geographically 1t Il.
the equal of any book gotten out by any
race of people. The work itself will un-
out any prejudice that may exist in certain
minds between the white and colored races.
as it shows the good factor the colored race
has been in the history OF the country, both
as to civil and business pursuits and as -
the events which mark time in the history
of a country. when at peace or war.
There are many things contained In Thu
work which will surprise both races in the
number of business people of high standing
in the colore6 race. and in the number o.
institutions and teachers. There are arse
many curious facts and interesting detatl'
which should help the book. And yet THIS
book with its 544 pages must necessarily
only convey a limited idea of the great
strides the colored race has made. IT nAs
taken about twelve years to gather this N
formation and place it in book form. 4

larger manufactured, were we TO do justice

FREAKS OF

FREAKS OF TYPOGRAPHY.
A good list of probable error will be
found in the following lines purportlng
to be the wall of a suffering poet on read
ing his first poem, as printed in a village
n -wspaper. but evidently written by one
conversant with the mishaps ofthe print
er's case.
1t really is in print! Ye gods!
How proud I'll be to show it!
And gentle Anna! What a thrill
Will animate her breast
To read these ardent lines and know
To whom they are addressed!
Why, bless my soul! Here's som
thing strange!
What can the paper mean!
BY talking of the graceful brooks
That gander DER the green?
And here's a t instead of 7,
Which makes it tippling rill;
Well seek the shad, instead of shade
And hell, instead of hill.
They look so-what. l recollect,
Twas sweet and then twas kind,
And now to think, the stupid fool,
For bland has printed blind!
Was ever such provoking work?
It's curious, by the bye,
How anything is rendered blind
BY giving it an eye.
! Hast thou no tears? The is left out
Hast thou no ears, instead;
l hope that thou art dear, is put
l hope that thou art dead.
Who ever saw in such a space
So many plumbers crammed?
Those gentle eyes bedimmed, is spelt
Those gentle eyes bedammed.
| The color of the rose, is nose
Affection is affection;
I wonder if the likeness holds
In fact as we'll as dlction?
Thou art a friend-the r is gone
Who ever would have deemed
| That such a tritling thing could
change
A friend into a tiend?
Thou art the same is rendered lame
1t really is too bad!
And here, because an j is out,
My lovely maid is mad;
They drove her blind by poking in
An eye-a process new;
And now they gouged it out again
And made her crazy, too.
Let's stop and recapitulate:
I've damned her eyes that's plain
I've told her she's a lunatic,
And blind, and deaf, and lame.

Food POiSOnS
80 Per Cent Of ALI Diseases the Result
of Undigested Putrefying Foods.

Men of affairs, women of society and
children with active brains are too
often sedentary in their habits, giving
little time to exercise, To this evil is
added that of high and irregular liv-
ing-as a result, the stomach cannot
stand the demands made upon it. The
abused and over-taxed stomach does not
properly do the work of digestion, food
taken in ferments and the poison per
mcates the whole system. The body
loses in weight and becomes a prey for
the attack of whatever disease 1T may
encounter,
Did it ever occur to you how busy
that stomach Of your is? 1t only holds
three pints, but in one year you force
it TO take in 2,400 pounds of material,
digest it and prepare it for assimilation
into the blood No wonder it rebels
when overworked. We crowd 1T with
steaks and pastry, irritate its juices
with spices and acids, and expect the
stomach to do its work. 1t can t do it.
All over the inner layer of the stom-
ach are glands which secrete the juices
necessary 10 digestion. The entrance of
food into the stomach is the signal for
these glands to do their work. The
more the food, and the more indigesti-
BILE, the greater the demand upon them
and upon the muscles of the wall ad-
joining.
Think of the tons of highseasoned
game sweetmeats and appetiZers
crammed into this little four ounce
mill, and then wonder, if you will why
you are dizzy or nauscated or constj-
pated. Don't blame your stomach or
curse your fate that you should be born
so unfortunate Blame yourself and
apply the remedy.
First, get small package of Stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets, taking one after
each meal and at bed time They are
not a medicine, but digestive. Your
stomach is worn out and needs help, not
medicine. Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets
will do the work that the stomach fails
to do. There's enough power in one

NEGRO GETS FAMOUS MANSION
Claims Employer Owed Him SIC 900
Wages and Loans.
Relatives VIII Try TO Recover Property
Bequeathed by Mrs. Sarah VAIN
HendFiCksOn.

Philadelphia. July 20.-The historic man
sion at Walnford. n. j.. filed with price

and aristocratic VAIN family. closely con-
nected with Mrs. Anne NJ. Wightman
Walker. the richest woman in the world,
and other aristOcratic families, has fallen
into the. possession OF John Wilson.
siXty-two-year-ol negro. 1t was decided
TO him by the late Mrs. Sarah Vain
Hendrickson.
Wilson was an emplOye Of Mrs Hen
erickson for nearly half a century. When
she died last March. at the age Of ninety
one years, he claimed she owed him near
ly Sl0,GC0 In wages and loans. Before her
deaths the aged woman had John Meirs.
her nephew, and lawyer. draw up the
deed, giving the old negro the mansion
with the family portraits. jewels. silver
plate. colonial furniture, and tapestries.
Meirs was loath TO see the family heir
looms so 10 Wilson, but his aunt threat
ened 10 retain other counsel.
Mrs Hendrickson's relatives in this city
We're indignant when they learned OF the
transaction, and contemplated legal pro-
ceedings to set the deed aside s. Morris
VAIN, lawyer, advised the other rela-
tives to leave Wilson in undisputed pos
session. so as to avoid a scandal
Now that the transaction has become
generally known, an effort will probably
bc made TO oust Wilson, as Mrs. Hen
drickson's relatives do not believe she
owed him a cent
Mrs Vain was a descendant Of Mich
olas Vain, who came to this country with
William Penn in 1882. She was related
by blood and marriage to many Of the
most exclusive Philadelphia families
