A REALISTIC PICTURE.
Il Proved Too Absorbing For Old Uncle
Juniper.


The Mississippi courtroom was pack
ed with negroes, and it was fairly
evident, says contributor to the Tay-
lor-Trotwood Magazine. that some
thing of unusual interest was about
to transpire. Within the bar on the
prisoners seat an old negro leaned
eagerly forward as his attorney ar
gued his plea Of not guilty before the
jury.
"Who, gentlemen of the jury, has
sworn that he saw this man commit
this theftw demanded the attorney.
1--WE have broken every link in the
weak chain of circumstantial evidence
with which the state has tried to en-
4tangle him. Why, his neighbor, Tom
Jones, swore that he sold him the
meat that was found in the defend
ants house and that he shot the hog
because it was wild.
''It is true that Colonel Smith swore
that one of his hogs disappeared about
Dec. % and that about fifty yards
from certain stump he found blood
and then followed trail of blood from
that spot to this defendants cabin. But
what of that?
"This defendant told you-and his
wife and brother swore the same-that
that was the blood of coon which he
had shot and carried home the day be-
fore Smith lost his hog. Give him JUS
tice as you would do If he were a
Z white man. He cannot help being
black. The leopard cannot change his
spots nor the Ethiopian his skim For
twenty years he has been a leader in

shout:

The sheriff had to threaten to clear
the courtroom before order was restdr-
ed. When at last there was silence the
district attorney rose.
Gentlemen of the jury" he began
in closing the case for the state, 81 de-
sire only to bring a picture to your
minds"
Here the prisoner adjusted his big
brass trimmed spectacles as If to see
the picture, and his manner showed
that he was determined to let no detail
escape him.
''The 2Sd of last December contin-
ued the district attorney, 'found Juni-
per Bradley without meat His son
was coming to spend Christmas with
him. But Juniper did not worry, for
only half a mile away in Marse Smiths
woods were some fat hogs.
IAN hour before sunset Juniper was
kneeling behind large stump in these
woods. with his rifle pointing toward
hog that at some distance away was
roofing among the leaves
The district attorney paused. Taking
cane to represent rife, he knelt be-
hind chair. After some minutes Of
moving to right and left. now raising,
now lowering his rife, he took careful
aim and then fired, initiating the noise
of report very successfully.
At the sound Juniper, who had been
smiling, apparently oblivious to every
thing save the district attorneys move
ments. exclaimed:
"Yas. sub. OATS des de way done

The laugh that followed brought Ju-

done. and he shuffled round in the
prisoners seat, muttering, "Nigger got

BEND YOUR BACK.


Ifupon the busy street,
A lady friend you chance to meet.
y Bend your back.
Or see purse or even a pin.
You know some times those things come in,
Bend you back.
All up and down this earthly face
A man is truly off his base,
Who considers it a disgrace
To bend his back.
To work-we all must up and go,
IT'S work that makes the blessings iow.
So bend your back.
Your spine is simply mass of joints,
To which sign.board of duty points,
bend that back
Your shoulders may be out of plumb,
But thank the Lord. you know they've come
From work when you were steppin' some
And bendin' your back.

The Vital Importance of the Angle.
Worm.

Worm.
What does science say about
blowing, anyway? She says, in the
first place, that nature runs the big
gest pillow of all, and that we had
better watch her at the trick and
see what she is doing and how she
does it. Well, the glaciers and the
streams of prehistoric world did the
first plowing-they ground and tore
over the surface of the rocks grind
ing off and depositing top dress
ing of silt, which we call soil, but
the clays were fearfully hard pack
-"close-textured" science calls it
so hard they resisted the soakage
of water almost like rock; so nature
set the angle worm to work, blur
rowing, chewing, sitting, digesting
the hard sub-soils.
What for? To break them up, so
the roots can go down and fetch the
cream to the top, and when man
comes along with his plow, what
is he doing but skimming the cream
off the top, or rather feeding the
cream to his crop to be skinned
| in the harvest? I do not vouch for
the statement, or I should have all
| the scientists of the world down on
me; but the greatest scientists of the
world do vouch for the statement
that within a single acre of ground
there annually pass through the
| bodies of angle worms ten tons OF
earth.-From "The New Spirit of the

A Character Sketch

Joseph Henry Taylor was born in
Chester county Penn, January, 1914,
and he died at Washburn, N. D.,
April 10th, 1908. He came of sturdy
Quaker stock and passed the first
few years of his boyhood in the av-
erage uneventful Christian home.
He early learned the printers trade
and when but a comparative youth
succumbed to cupid's darts. His af-
lection was returned by the innocent
girl but parental objection crushed
their budding love and destiny and
prepared diverging paths for their
devoted feet. The girl married an
other and settled in a quiet home
while he plunged into the bloody
civil strife that shook the nation
in 1S61-65. After he had done his
duty as humble soldier by helping
to preserve the glory of his country's
flag he packed his knapsack and
started to explore the uninhabited
plains of the boundless west. For
forty years he wandered. The bits
of history that he left in his pub
lished works show that his soul was
ever in communion with the wild and
savage about him. Proof of his kind
nature was shown by the fact that
the Indnans that he met were his
firmist friends. The beasts of the
forests divulged their secrets to him
as they have to no other man.
1t is as patriarch of the west
that his name will go down into his

The American Athlete.

Why does America lead the whole
world in athletic sports? 1t isn't
the much talked of mixtures of rae
es, although that might be slight
factor 1t isn't the climate, for we
have every variety of climate in the
United States and our champions
come from every part of the cd1n-
try. 1t is the national spirit-the
spirit that makes America take the
lead in everything that requires
quickness, determination, dash, bold
ness and grit, declares Robert Ed
gren in an article on "The Record
Breakers" in the May issue of the
New Broadway Magazine.
This theory is proven when foreign
athletes come to this country and
compete here for year or two. They
may have been champions in their
own land-champion of many years
standing. But invariably they alb
sorb the hustling American spirit.
They train and compete, after few
months, with the energy of Ameri-
cans, and they always improve upon
their former records. John Flana-
gan came here with hammer
throwing record of about one hun
dred and forty-five feet. In ten
years of American competition he
raised his mark to one hundred and
seventy-two feet ten and three-par-
tiers inches. At Athens, Daily, the
Irish long distance champion, was
beaten in the fye-mile race. Two
years in America has made him our
national long distance champion,
both track and cross-country, five
and ten miles. Glarner, the great
half-miler of the Olympic club OF
San Francisco, was a good runner
in France, but in America he i'm
proved until he ran within two sec
onds of Kilpatrick's long standing
world record. He did his training
in the cold winds and fogs of San
Francisco, out near the ocean, far
less favorable athletic climate than
the balmy one Of France.
