CHILD'S OWN ROOM
PRETTY FITTINGS ADAPTED FOR
THE NURSERY.
Worth Imitation 10 the Way One
Mother Fixed Up Place Her Two
Little Girls couId Take
Pride In.

II don't need a nursery to lock my
children into, because the whole
house is theirs" proudly says the
American mother when the English
twit US on our lack of nurseries. Chill
ren's furniture is so cunning nova
days, though, that some mothers sim
ply can't resist fixing up some sort
of room that the youngsters can
call their own. The plain mission fur
niture is being made in miniature now,
and when one buys it unstained, it
may be made 20 match the things
already on hand at little expense. A
mother who has recently furnished a
room for hex two little girls, covered
the walls with plain green cartridge
paper, which the doctor recommended
on account of the children's eyes. The
windows in the room were rather
high, so she had the carpenter put a
board along tie wall under each one,
about six inches from the floor so
that the children can stand on it to
look out.
The furniture In the room is the
wonderful feature, considering how
little expense of money and time were
put into it. The two cot beds stand
at opposite sides of the room, and
are covered with pretty Powered Gre
tonne spreads in the daytime. The
children use them IS touches to play
on, and there is no nagging to keep
off the bed" for these plain little COW
ers are quite washable and do not
show the dirt like the ordinary white
spread. Each child has it's own little
chair, made of old chamber chairs
with the legs sawed off and pretty
cretonne cushions on the bottom.
An old pine bureau from the attic
was painted white like the chairs, to
hold the clothing. Tie commode of
the same set is used as a toy box,
and It is so ingenious that even the
mother who has no regular nursery
will find it fine suggestion. The top,
like all the old-fashioned washstands,
has the lid, and this compartment be-
longs to the taller of the children.
The closet below is the property of
the younger girl, and she is expected
to keep all her toys in it. The mother
painted the whole thing white and
then bought a stencil such as store
keepers have for lettering signs to
mark the owners names on their part
of the toy box. Each child feels a
certain responsibility about keeping
her things where they belong in such
an attractive case, so that their moth
er is helped very much in keeping
order
A small mission Morris chair, sc
cunning that it makes every one who
sees it wish to be back in toyland
again, was bought this Christmas, and
common kitchen table with the legs
sawed off has been stained to match
it,
All this staining, by the way, was
amateur work, but the inexpensive
stains and paints for furniture are
made especially for home workers,
and have wonderful way of looking
smooth even when put on by a very
green" hand.

"I take great pleasure in telling you
what a great help it was for me to use
Cuticura soap ana Cuticura Ointment

from that terrible torture, eczema. 1t
was all over her body but the worst was
on her face and hands. Her hands We're

She cried and scratched all the time and
could not sleep night or day from the

seemed to do her no good. l took her
to the best doctor in the city and he said
that she would have the sores until she
was six years old. But if | had de.
pended on the doctor my baby would
have lost her mind and died from the

SCHEMES THAT WILL NOT BEAR THE LIGHT.
In these days we hear a great deal about anarchists and
what terrible people they are. As a matter of fact, l imagine that the
conditions in Paris at the time preceding the commune DID MOI
DIFFER WIDELY FROM THE CONDITIONS EXISTING
WITH US TODAY.
AND THE MEN or VAST WEALTH DISHONESTY ACQUIRED
ARE, IN NY OPINION, THE REAL BREEDERS OF ANARCHY, AND
YET THEY WILL PUT ON AN INNOCENT FACE AND SAY: I'VE
CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ARE ANARCHISTS HERE.
WE HAVE STOLEN ONLY A HUNDRED MILLIONS, AND We SEE
NO CAUSE FOR PROTEST. AND DISSATISFACTION ON THE PART
OF ANY ONE"
Recent events, however, have shown us that many of those who
felt so SECURE ON THE PINNACLE OF THEIR PILED UP
I'LL GOTTEN WEALTH have been suddenly dashed down to dis
grace, Imprisonment and even to suicide as a result OF having failed to
realize all through their business careers that honesty is indeed the
best policy.
In nv opiaion we shall AeYcr have a clear business atmosphere in
this country until we TREAT NIL RASCAlS ALIKE, big or

ability to do SC many things thai are crooked IL not turr their brains

The Real Negro Question In
the South. - BY ''"fes%r 1nASkh,N T.. e'DD'Ne'

Liz 0Olklxl. Of conunl yniv-r.tv
~D HE REAL NEGRO QUESTION IN THE SOUTH is THAT THE
WHITE PEOPLE 90 NOT BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD BE
ADVANTAGEOUS FOR CIVILIZATION AND AMERICAN IN
sTlTUTloNs TO PERMIT THE GENERAL AMALGAMATIoN
OF THE WHITE AND NEGRO BLOOD, AND THEY CHER.
isH THIS VIEW WITH INTENSE BITTERNESS AND PREJUDICE ON
SOCIAL EQUALITY WITH WHITE MEN.
It is not merely political tradition. It is not merely economic con
ditions. It is a RACE INSTINCT and is especially held by the
women of the south that if the negro were admitted to join IN every
thing socially and equally with the white man NOTHING COULD
PREVENT THE OF THE BLOOD OF THE
TWO RACES. That amalgamaton they do not believe to be for tho
highest interest of the south and the civilization Of the white American
nation.
However, notwithstanding this attempt Of the white people of the
south to exclude the negro from social equality with white men and
to prevent the intcrmarriage of blacks and whites, THE NEGRO Is
FAST DISAPPEARING
AS years go by the population of the full bloodcd negro OF the
American population is rapidly and surely disappearing, and IN HIS
PLACE WE HAVE THE MULATTO THE QUADROON
AND OCTOROON. This means, of course, thai, Notwithstanding the
legal attempt to prevent the intermarria2c of blacks and whites and
the reproduction of a race of blacks and whites, the reproduction goes
