woman who writes to the American
Magazine about race relations In the
South touches on this point to say that
the dangerous negroes are dangerous
to all women and girls. white or black !;
that the negro children go to school In
groups, as the white children do; and
that the negro women, like white wom-
en-, in the South recognize that 1t Is
not safe to go far from home unpro-
tected. This statement has probability
in It's favor, and for various reasons
sounds true. 1t was worth making /;
the more so that we do not remember
to have seen it In print before. We
have all along known and deplored the
peril to the white women and chill
dren. but no one before this has thought
1t worth while to mention that the
negro women and girls were In any
danger. The reason why this ought to
be known is that a common danger is
strong tie. and the blacks and whites
in the South are developing antag-
Onisms SO fast that no tie that remains
ought to be ignored. After the Atlanta

The recent death Of Miss Julia Bry-

Bryant, has called forth a number OF
"reminiscences of the poet and his fam
lily. Although always kindly, Bryant
was not man Of winning personality.
He was too dignified. But at home
he could unbend with his children and
their intimate friends he could Occa-
sionally even romp. With strange chill
dren the poet, perhaps being a little
shy Of them, became even more than
usually dignified, with the result Of re
ducing them to solemn and hopeless
good behavior.

vaguely with the Old Testament, and
revered him accordingly. Such beard
and such brow were his as knew

have shocked me, am sure, to see
him laugh"
With another little girl, whom he
knew better, however, he often laughed.

her father need to give her any further
attention, but silence was q signal not

MAKING BUSINESS OF BENEvoLENCE.
BY John d. Rockefeller.

It takes a practical mind to make
fortune. Men have often said In
my hearing, ooh, how wish I were
rich! II had money should do this
great work or that" Now, those men
will never be rich. They haven't got

mind for 1t. They think of the fruits
of victory without the struggle. 1t
is necessary to fix the mind pretty
firmly upon the making OF money be
fore it is possible to plan it's spending.
