What Was the Matter with Him?

A Richmond man has in his employ
a colored man of advanced age who,
by reason of his thrifty habits, had
accumulated enough money to defray
the cost of his sons tuition at ne
gro college in Alabama.
When the darky's boy returned to
Richmond after the completion of his
course, he proceeded, much to his
parents disgust, to air his opinions
on various subjects in a more or less
diffuse and florid style of speech.
One day the old man took him
aside and addressed him as follows:
Richard Thompson jenkins, Use

Joe Wilson lives out in the suburbs.
He had put in a liberal supply of red
fire, gunpowder, etc., in order to cele-

during the recent election. Unfortun-
ately, the election went the wrong
way and his ammunition was stored
carefully away in the garnet closet.
The other day Joe's little boy Rob-
ert, decided to have celebration of
his own. He stuffed lead pipe with
few spoonfuls of the black powder,
and while dropping lighted match
into the end leaned over the apparatus
to see that there would be no hitch
in the operation. There was no hitch.
The thing went off beautifully, and so
did little Robert, yelling madly as he
ran toward the bed, his hair badly
singed and his face and hands
smeared with burnt powder The lit
tie fellow suffered intensely, and his
means managed to carry as far as his
fathers ears down in the library.
Joe rushed upstairs to his sons
room. One glance at the bed sheets,
which were badly besmeared with the
black blotches, told him that some
thing was wrong.
Robert, my son, what have you
been doing?" asked the stern parent.
Robert had covered his head with the
sheet. Nothing but low moan came
as an answer
