yet somehow she slew the white
rooster, and while his he.aA3ass body
still contorted before her Mortified eyes
she returned to the roost and sacrificed
yet another victim.
She carried them to the house. She
built a roaring fire in her cooking
stove; she picked, cleaned and washed
the chickens and set them in the cool
pantry. She went to the cellar and
brought up a pumpkin. That night
she made pumpkin pies; she made
cookies and doughnuts; she got apples
from the garnet and cider from the
cellar.
She built n fire in the drum stove In
warmed it with the old brass warming
pan. She made all ready for the COM
ing of some n as she had made ready
five years ago.
1t was 3 o'clock when Jane Ward
went to bed, and the tired old woman
fell Immediately into a deep, sound
sleep from which she did not awaken
until the morning was well advanced.
With undated vigor Jane prepared
her Thanksgiving dinner. The chick
n were roasting in the oven; the
table in the dining room was spread
with a spotless cloth; the blue and
white dishes reflected the freight;
the sun shone on the glass dishes of
currant jelly and turned them into
glowing rubies. Above all was the
Thanksgiving atmosphere.
Esther Pike tramped heavily into
the kitchen and stopped short at the
sight of Jane Ward. Jane was peeling
vegetables. There were great golden
turnips, silver skinned onions, crisp
white potatoes, cracking spicy celery.
"Good morning, Esther Pike" said
Jane kindly. 81 was afraid I'd scared
you AWAY for good and all last night.
l hope you don't mind what a disap-
pointed old woman says out of the
hardness of her heart"
"Land, mol" calculated Esther cor
daily. 81 am dreadful pleased you've
come to your senses, Jane Ward! Go
ing to have company to dinner?" she
asked eagerly.
81 don't know" returned Jane sober
ly. "IIl have whoever the Lord sends.
My table is waiting for the hungry
and the needy"
"Land, it makes me hungry to smell
all your good things" returned Esther
meaningly.
"You staying with Ann?" asked Jane
abruptly.
Eyes; we're going to have roast pork
and apple sauce"
"That amt to be despised," returned
Jane.

NO JIM CROW LAWS
FOR MONTANA

In decision by the supreme
court last week it was decided
that the law placed on the Mont
ana Statutes to prohibit Colored
Elks form wearing the insignia of
their order in this State was un-
constitutional and void.
The same decision has been
hauded down all along the line
where the courts have not blinded
by predjudice and with the able
Jurist which preside over judicial
.destinics of Montana it was fore
gone conclusion that when this
case was submitted to them that
it would receive exact Justice at
their hands and that the veneer
ofpredjudice would be thrown as
ide, the case should never been
allowed to get out of the justice
court on question of facts but pre-
judice reigned supreme and cheap
politics held sway all along the
line but at the supreme court
these cheap subterfuges were
up against the real thingbut ofno
avail. The supreme court of this
State have shown that the JIM
CROW law has no standing be-
fore that tribunal and that the
IA tn amendment is as good as
any other amendment to our con-
stitution whichapplies to all regard
less of race creed or previous con-
dition of servitude. In republican
iurist JIM CROWISM has a
rocky road to travel NEGRO
DEMOCRATS take notice.

The fight for principle carried
to the highest court by w. R.
Holland for principle is to be
highly commended, as he single
handed and alone paid the expense
OF this litigation and he is worth
more to the progress of the race
than a thousand agitators who
produce nothing but hot air and
theorize. The man of the hour is
the one Who Does Things.

LOOK FOR A CHANGE
Fourteen Indiana Cities
Anxiously Await Mar
shall's Inauguration.

With the inauguration of Thomas r
Marshall as governor. two months
hence, there will be a change in the
policy of fourteen Indiana cities.
Mr. Marshall in his campaign
speeches said he believed in local self
government and that if he were elected
he would call upon the local authorities
in cities governed by the metropolitan
police law to suggest members of the
police boards, and that hes would then
comply with the requirements of the
law by formally naming the men sug-
gested.
1t happens that there will be a va
eancy of one member of each of the
police boards at the time Mr.. Mar
shall goes into office so that he will
have an opportunity to apply his theory
at once. The fourteen cities affected by
this change are Anderson, EIkhart, New
Albany, Richmond, Vincennes, Elwood,
Hammond, Jeffersonville. Kokomo, La
fayette. Logansport Marion. Michigan
City and Muncie.
Some of the democratic members of
the legislature are talking about in
Producing a bill which will have as it's
object the ousting of Colonel Fred
Gemmer from the state tax board.
They have nothing against Colonel
Gemmer personally, but they see
chance ito get back at Governor Han
ly that is very tempting. They CEN
sure the governor for holding a place
on the tax board open from March 10.
1907, Until after election this year for
his secretary, Colonel Gemmer, and
they are cudgeling their brains to find
a way to annul the appointment.
Under the statute Colonel Gemmer''s
term will not expire until March 10,
1911. and his tenure could only be cut
off by abolishing the present board
| and creating another board with q new
name, giving the governor the power of
appointment. There is no assurance
that Governor-E Elect Marshall would
approve this legislation. and so far the
scheme is only one of the things talked
about.
