VOLUME XXVII'
An Intelligent Eeheopian.

The Rev. Father C. F. Checizzle, a
native Abyssinian priest, and the most
intelligent Ethiopian we ever talked
with, delivered a lecture at the st.
Paul Methodist church, cUlored, in this
city, Monday evening. In our talk
with him he said In part:
1.-THE government of Abyssinia eX-
tends a commercial welcome to Ameri-
ca, providing it keeps the corruptive
trusts from endeavoring to purchase
lands. | admire the progress of this
government on account of its incipient
history compared with that of Abys-
sinia, that antedates II, 685 years, as
the unconquored nation.
1.-The conception of mine of the race
question is as follows: I appreciate
fhe spirit which the aristocratically-
intelligent Southerner shows to the
blacks, as to opposing his social
equality This far much better fol
him; as it tends to give him an in
splration Of self independence asd aspi.
ration. Democracy forbids him to as.
sociate politically, which is also z
psychological blessing to demand his
m lterial progress. For here in the
South he has made progress along al
lines; there in the North, the political
demagogne by preposterously deceiv-
ing him, has made him morally debas-
ed and a spendthrift. His friend Is
the Southerner who aids him mentally
and opposes him socially and political.

''The Lion and Mouse"

In 1.-THE Lion and the Mouse" which
Henry 3. Harris will present at the
Lexington Opera House Monday and
Tuesday and Tuesday matinee, Feb
ruary HIP, Charles Klein, the author,
has written play that promises to be
of induring popularity. Indeed, it may
be said that the success already achiev-
ed by this drama is beyond anything
known in America in the past ten
years.
The theme is most pertinent to the
present day when everyone is keenly
alive to the Vaccination of trusts and
kings of finance. Mr.. Klien has dis
played excellent judgment in present
ing a phase of American life with
which the public has become familiar
through the newspapers and magazines
of the times. He depicted king of
finance as he is, robbed Of ,melodrama-
tic attributes. In opposition to him
he places a true figure of American
wOmanhood it is their struggle with
the final victory for the girl that con-
stitutes the basis upon which this
powerful drama of emotion is built.
From this complication arise a series
>of situations of strong emotion, and adj
mirably as they are written, they gain
In power Of contiction from their adroit
handling by the exceptionally fine cast
which Mr.. Harris has selected for the
presentation of this drama. The an
nouncement of the play cannot fail to
elicit the keen interest of all classes OF

Paid Old Doctor Bill.

Cisco, Texas. In little humble
home in the eastern part of East
land county lived a family by the
name of Smith. One cold winter
night nine years ago, a prominent
physician Of Cisco was called to
this home, and ere the break Of
day a little son made his appear
ance and decided to make his home
with the Smith family All do
ing well, the physician was dis
missed with the promise of being
rewarded for his trouble some 9TH
er time. Adversities came to this
family, a change of location be-
came necessary, and the doctor
lost all traces of them. Years roll
ed on and he dismissed the cir
cumstance from his mind. Not
so with the little man who was
glad of his existence. One day
last weed, while the doctor was
sitting in his Office, bright little
fellow came in and said: You
are the one 1 am looking for. j"
He handed him $40, and said: I
have earned this picking cotton,
and want you to be paid for the
visit you made my mother the night
1 came into the world" He
thanked the doctor and turned to
leave the Office.

Medicine for Plants.

A very large and sturdy orange
tree was growing in a small pot.
IF that tree" said the florist,
didn't take pills it would require
a pot as big as a bathtub to grow
in. But it takes pills like a hypo-
chondriac.
Chemists, agricultural experts,
make now plant pills-pills no
larger than chestnuts, that contain
sustenance for six months, a kind
of tabloid food. These chemists
analyze a plants ash and make
pills of the constituent salts.
The pills inclosed in a metal
cover, are buried in the earth at
the plants roots, and the salts
gradually dissolve and diffuse
through the metal, giving the plants
day by day the sustenance that they
require.
Pills are also applied to weak,
sickly plants, which they help
wonderfully. Chicago Examiner.
