that not long ago she was approached

There are many points of likeness
between a world view Of animal his
tory and Of human history. During
the long ages preceding Il own the
continents for certain periods were like
vast islands entirely isolated from
ne%ighboring continents by the seas.
This was the condition of Africa in the
period unearthed by recent cXplora-
lions. These longer or shorter isola-
lions explain the marvellous diversity
of mammalian life, because each grant
land mass became n separate breeding
place under different conditions, and
whenever the land rose from the
sea long enough to form connecting
bridges, such as those across the Mcdi-
t%erranean or along the Arctic seas or
across the isthmus OF Panama, the ami
mails gradually extended their ranges
from continent to continent exactly
after the manner Of the prehistoric and
historic races Of men. Thus were mi
tiated vast interchanges, struggles and
competitions which have worked quite
as profound influence upon the past
and present history of animal life as
the interchanges of human races have
worked upon the history Of man.

Begjamin Shoemaker James.
BY w. ID.


He was a Pennsylvania Dutchman
that drifted down South and married
Elizabeth Loven, and they spent most
of their married life around Princeton.
Both were shoemakers by trade, and
could put up as fine an article of boots
as were ever manufactured in those
parts. No young blood thought his
dress was complete unless he had on a
pair of Ben James ten-dollar boots.
They were made Of fine French calf
skin, and made to fit almost without a
wrinkle. The heels were trimmed down
to the size of a silver dollar, and the
tops were ornamented with red morocco
leather. He and wife ran a regular
shoe shop for new work and repairs.
Aunt Betsy and niece, Miss Sallie, car
ried on the work for years after her
husbands death. The old mans great
est foe was corr juice, and Aunt Betsy
was a slave to opium. Many times she
would hand me a dollar to pay for
opium when | went to Charleston to
purchase goods. When out of the drug
she would make for the nearest store
for laudanum. She would come in all
in a tremor and say: "Hand me down a
vial Of laudanum, quick!"
She would seize it and turn it up to
her mouth and drink down one-half of
the vial before removing it from her
lips. Soon she would be as lively as a
lark. She lived to be an old lady before
the drug finally conquered her. It's
said that opium and morphine eaters
are short-lived people. Not so in Mrs.
James case.
During the campmeeting days of Mt.
Bethel Mr.. James lived in the old log
chnrc' usiich stood in a line with the
otl4Sa tents. In buying her church
clothes she purchased a pair of hoop
skirts, with big brass bands. When on
and inflated it was as big around as a
hogshead. She was ashamed to go out
with the skirt on in daytime, but waited
until night service to try it. She man
aged it pretty we'll until she started to
return to her house. In coming out
from the preaching stand she stepped
into a ditch, which threw her down, and
her foot got tangled up in the brass
bands and she could not get upuntil she
unbuckled the skirt. She rolled it up
and put it under her arm and marched
home. Right then and there she made
a vow that she would never put on the
nasty thing as long as she lived.

THE GRASS FENCE.
Thrilling Incident of the Battle of
Bunker Hill.

Bunker Hill.
The battle of Bunker Hill gave the
occasion for many deeds of valor. and
since that day we hold n list Of names,
illuminated In our memory. One of
these names belongs to the Knight OF
Derryheld. Do you remember who he
was, and can o recall the song Of his
bravery? Read of it once more and
ave impressed again on your heart
the implicit obedience and perfect
courage of the New Hampshire farm
ers and their captain, John Moor.
When the forty-five men of the little
town OF Derryheld, n. H., left their
homes to fight for the great cause each
knew that no men were ever led by n
drawer man than their beloved Captain
Moor. His courage had inspired many
or them in the French and Indian war.
SO, eagerly, when the alarm came in
1913 they marched with him and his
drummer boy son to Cambridge, where
he was entered a captain in Stark's
regiment.
Ana o comes the battle of Bunker
Hill. Behind u fence, piled thick with
grass, Captain Moor's Law as
still as death. An order had come from
Colonel Stark that not a shot was to be
fired until the British passed n stake
that was driven a short distance away.
with perfect confidence in themselves
and their captain, the farmers waited
waited motionless while that beauti-
full, death dealing pageant of British
warriors swept grandly toward them.
With the GOODNESS and wonderful pre-.
clsion of n dress parade the old world
came to meet the new, the grenadiers
ana light infantry marching in single
hle twelve feet apart, the artillery ad-
Vanclng more slowly and thundt ling
out an insolent defiance to the con
ceited little rebels, while on each side
five battalions formed an oblioue line
to the fence b~reastworks. The very
flower Of the English army, full bios

dent IN shining arms II waving ban
ners, to meet a little group Of
men unframed in tactics Of warfare,
only half armed, clad in homespun,
hiding behind a brcastwork of grass.
The dead line was crossed. Bang,
Bang! Bang! The little rebels were
awake at last. Now, not the stake,
but q line Of fallen bodies marked the
dead line. Thunder and lightning
belched forth from that breastwork.
a fire, intense, steady, killing, and the
brave march of the Britishcrs wa
checked. a slight recoil, and the Off
GERS, dashing up, again urged the line
forward. Not for one moment did the
grass fence cease it's voice of fire and
shot. One by one the brave grcnadiers
and their dashing, gallant officers fell
to the earth. The ranks broke and the
proud host fled before the meager
handful Of New Hampshire men. All,
II we could only have had grass breast
works and Captain John Moor all
along the American line!-C. T.. uarri-
son in Atlanta Constitution.

Got Even With tho Lawyer.

Many a ago there lived in Cam
den, Me-, two neighbors, DR.. Huse and
Judge Thayer. The doctor had occa-
sion to sue a man and OF course en-
ployed his %neighbor, the judge, as his
counsel. After a session of court he
met the judge and asked about his
case. The judge said it was continued.
Meeting him again after another ses-
sion and asking again about his case,
the same answer was given.
AS it cost so or So each time 1t was
continued, the doctor thought by the
time 1t was settled, after paying the
Judge, he would get nothing.
Some time afterward the Judge was
afflicted with a felon and of course en-
ployed his neighbour, the doctor. After
suffering awhile he net the doctor and
said: Doctor, this thing is getting
along very slowly. 1 have walked the
floor nights for a week. What are you
doing to it?"
The doctor, who stammercd, loud
ly replied, "Co-co-continuing it, by
Georges"

Negro Race Conference.

TO the Colored People of South Caro-
lima:
| take the liberty to communicate to
you through this journal-supposing

very large. The conference will meet
again Tuesday, January ID, and con-
tinue in session until Friday, January
II, 1908. The speakers for this confer

men, among them Mrs. Booker T. Wash
ington. One day, Thursday, will be set
apart as woman's day. We want the
best thinking members of the race to
come ,specially the farmers, teachers,
preacher, mechanics, etc.
We propose to organize at this meet
ing a Negro State Fair Association.
The board of directors of the Fair AS

fair grounds free to encourage us. This
is very apt to be the last race confer
cnce to be held in the State and you
cannot afford to miss it. Let delegates
come from Sunday schools, societies,
churches or any business organization.
Come whether you are appointed or not.
Those who expect to come please
write Mr.. |. N. Nesbitt, 1913 Washing
