ONLY Ono Alternative.

A cynic was smiling at the extrava-
CANT attentions that are lavished by
the rich upon pet dogs. He spoke of
the canine operations for appendicitis,
the canine tooth crownings, the canine
wardrobes, that occur in New York.
and then he said:
GLOW servants hate these pampered
ours! At house where I was calling
one warm day the fat and pompous
butler entered the drawing room and
said:
"Did you ring madam"
"'Yes, Harrison. wish you to take
Fido out walking for two hours
Harrison frowned slightly. But
Fido won't follow me, madam he
said.
"Then. Harrison. you must follow
Fido.'"

A Point of Interest.

In a certain county of Arkansas
q man named Walters was put on
trial for stealing a watch. The evil
dence had been very conflicting, ano
as the jury retired the judge re-
marked suavely that if he could at,
ford any assistance in the way OF
smoothing out possible difficulties
ne should be most happy to do SO
Eleven of the jurors had filed out OF
the box, but the twelfth remained
and there was on his countenance
an expression indicating great per
plexity.
'Ts there any question you'd like
to ask me before you retire? ?" asked
his honor, observing the jurors hes.
itancy.
The mans face frightened. eyes;
your HONOR he replied eagerly. "I'd
like to know, your honor, whether
the prisoner really stole the watch

A Wise Guy.

In a New York street a wagon
loaded with lamp globes collided
with a truck, and many of the
globes were smashed. Considerable
sympathy was felt for the driver as
he gazed ruefully at the shattered
fragments. A benevolent looking
old gentleman eyed him compassion
ately. "My poor man." he said, 81
suppose you will have to make good
this loss out of your own pocket"
"Yep," was the melancholy reply.
"Well, WE'LL" said the philanthropic
old gentleman, "hold out your hat.
Here's quarter for you, and dare
say some of these other people will
give you helping hand too" The
driver held out his hat, and several
persons fastened to drop coins in it.
At last, when the contributors had
ceased, he emptied the contents OF
his hat into his pocket; then, point.
ing to the retreating figure of the
philanthropist who had started the
collection, he observed: "Say, may.
be he amt the wise guy! That's
me boss!"

HE is proud of his own blood and OF
his mares blood for It's own sake. He
will show you a broken down little
crock and inform you, with perfect
truth, that she is Of the best blood in
the JaZirah: ne will also show a fine
stallion of his own and tell you he is a
'gdish,' or underlined animal, and there
Is no doubt it is the bad thoroughbred
he admires and prefers to the finest
made cross breed AS regards his
shaykh and tribal leader, he discrimi
mates in an equal degree between the
clever warrior, astute diplomatist and
good business man of low extraction
and the shaykh of high lineage, who
may be miserable epileptical crea-
ture, and always to the disadvantage

WHAT HIGHER EDUCATION HAS
DONE FOR THE SOUTHERN
3D. AFRO-AMERICAN,

Southern. extremists insist with
fTenzied vehemence that higher edu-
cation has accomplished nothing for
the Southern Afro-American, but to
impair his efficiency as an economic
element. Governor Davis says that it
has been fiat failure, and even some
men in the North incline to the same
opinion. Let us make a brief examir-
alton of the subject. So soon after
the close of the war as was practic-
able. the United States government
and many Northern philanthropists
entered upon the work of educating
the Southern Afro-American. It was
vast task, the means were very in
adequate, and the obstacles almost in
superable. Still, within very short
period of time, quite number of Afro
American youths received a limited
amount of higher education. Mean
while, the parents and friends Of the
youth had organized churches Of rude
type all over the South, and had
bought thousands Of houses for places
of worship. These educated youth
found at home a great demand for
their services, and entered, with great
zest into the work Of organizing and

ALL SHOULD BE EDUCATED.

THE Negroes will continue to be
source of irritation and friction and
riot in proportion to the number OF
illiterate white people among us.
Whatever of opposition there is to the
Negro in the South is found among
uneducated people. The educated
classes owned the Negro before the
war, and they were then, and con,
tinue to be, lis best friends. The
Negroes understand them and they un-
derstand the Negro. Education of the
white people is the solution of the
so-called Negro problem"
The, foregoing is an extract from an
address before the educational society
of the Methodist Church South, by DR..
Lee, of Atlanta, and it contains a
large amount of truth. But the oppo-
sition referred to is encouraged and
stimulated by men of the educated
class for political purposes, as illus
trated by the late campaign in Georg-
ia and Tennessee. In the former,
Hoax Smith fairly raved over "Negro
domination, and, in the latter, Car
mack closely followed his pernicious
example. It is an encouraging ind1-
cation that both of these rabble-rous-
ers were plowed under.
