Visitors to Washington who see the city
only from street cars or carriages or from
those great sight seeing anto-yans. get an
impression Of beauty and even Of splendor
that is somewhat misleading, for WASH
ington like other cities has its slummy
sesmy side. There are in the National
Capital, more negroes than in any other
city in the world. No city. not even in
Africa, has as large colored population.
Moreover, the negroes here are probably
of a poorer more immoral class than a
like population elsewhere. At the Police
Court, four-fifths Of those brought up for
trial are negroes. In the Jail and work.
house, nine on. of ten are colored. The
negro male population il to large extent
composed Of shiftless, ragged, unhealthy
looking specimens who depend for subsis-
tenoe on the labor OF the women of their
families or upon charity. Many Of them
are refugees, who came in from the sur
rounding states during the War or de-
scendents of these. Charity has so long
interfered with natural laws, that the un-
fiLtest has survived and reproduced their
kind until the problem is menacing and
probably insoluble.
Every morning the cage at the Police
Court is bIack-Gled with both sexes of
these people. They are called out and
stand up before the Police Judge while
the clerk reads in perfunctory voice:
George Washington, you are charged on
the 22d of October with being an idle aud
disorderly person without means of sup
port; and cursing and swearing in a dis
orderly manner. Guilty or not guilty ?"
Very frequently the plea lie guilty and
when the Judge says: "Thirty days." the
'cenvicts accepts the verdict with a non
chalance or delight which indicates that
he has been there before and that he
needs or likes the entertainment, which
means to him idleness, warmth, good
bed, and plenty to eat-in short, luxury.

WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, D. O., October 25th, 1908.
QUT one week remains until the elec'
tion, when the country will know itl
doom or its fortune, as the question may
be looked at from the eyes of the de-
feated or victorious. Then in four months
the most remarkable ruler of the age will
step down aud out and, it is said, lose
/ himself in Africa. At that time there
will be thousands of people from all parts
of the country in Washington to witness
the qnadrennia procession and inaugu-
ration with its attendant festivities. The
inaugural ball will probably be held in
| the nearly finished new museum where
recently the medical tuberculosis Con.
gre>s was held. The grand court of the
Pension Office has been used on previous
occasions, but only at great expense aud
obstruction to business
1t was supposed, four years ago, that
the date, March fourth, for Inauguration
would be changed to the date, April 30th
on which the first president Washington
was inaugnrated. But as is usual in a
Democratic government where question
is to be settled by several hundred repre-.
sentatives and nearly hundred senators,
it cannot be settled at all. The fourth OF
March is proverbially inclement in Wash
ington and the death of two senators,
caused by exposure at President Roose-
velt's second Inauguration, shocked few
members Of Congress into spasmodic ef-
fort to change the date to more tquable
season Of the year, but the objection of
some member not susceptible to colds
and rheumatism prevented the enact
ment OF this salutary legislation.
The Nation Capital, like almost every
other part of the United States, is i'm
proving year by year and four years has
made very marked improvement in the
architecture of the city, as the thousands
of visitors who will come here in March
willsee. A new railway station has been
buiTt-one Of the largest, most commo-
ulOuo nu0 hOIid. All
trains coming to Washington stop at this
station and the thousands of visitors on
March fourth will land there and pass
through its stupendous halls to the grand
plaza in front and facing the Capitol OF
the United States, which is in full view.
Thence they will be distributed by street
cars, taxieab, omnibus, carriages and
shanks' mares to the various habitable
parts OF a city which in peculiar way be-
longs to every citizenof the United States,
for every citizen directly or indirectly has
paid to pave these streets aud sidewalks,
to erect the government buildings and all
buildings in fact, for the business and in.
dustry of Washington is government in
sli its mnltifarious ways and ends. The
employees who inhabit the bouses are
clerks in the government offices and
through the millions annually paid them
the private honses and enterprises are
built and maintained
During President Roosevelt's adminis-
tration, more public buildings have gone
up than during any previous four admin
istrations. Imight mention the new De-

HALLOWEEN AMUSEMENT

II
Year after year. when this magic night
comes around, we must needs try our
fortune, be we young or old, and the
ancient games supposed to foretell events
become fresh and new to US. Some Of
them we all remember, as ''bobbing for
apples," but others will bear repetition
to refreshen the memory OF the forgetfuI
ones.
shallop
pretty pastime to find out whether
your future life will be smooth and tran
quill, or otherwise, is tc send your "shal-
lop" on voyage in mimic sea. These
mystic barks are made by pouring melted
wax into the halves of walnut shells, in
which pieces Of string have been placed
for wicks. Several persons float their
little boats at the same time, in tub Of
water, after lighting the wicks, and the
manner in which. they ride and burn
predicts the future life of the owner.
Railing
II You are spending the evening in the
country the old game OF 'Kailing' may
be played. Two Of the people present
are blindfolded and led to the vegetable
garden. Each must pull up the first cab
bage stalk he finds, and from the shape
of the stalk is inferred his future. II the
roots have much dirt clinging to them it
means vast wealth; if little, poverty; and
a moderate quantity, of course, the ordi.
nary comforts of life.
Floating Needles
Floating needles is another Halloween
game. The needles must be creased, or
dipped into sweet oil Small pieces of
tissue paper are then hoated in a basin
of water and each one carefully lays his
or her needle on piece of the paper.
When the paper becomes thoroughly wet
it will sink, the needles remaining float
ing on the surface of the water by reason
of the coating of oil on them. Capillarity
makes the needles act peculiarly, some
rushing to the edge of the basin, others
attracted to each other, and still others
repelled from each other; and the way
your needle acts toward the others is
supposed to be prophetic of your fate,
as, of conrse, the needles are all named.
Prize of Life
Another amusement is to have several
pieces of string about yard long, in the
middle of each of which is attached
raisin. Two people are then selected at
time to contest for the ''prize of life"
Each takes an opposite end of a string in
his or her mouth, and whoever, by chew
ing the string more rapidly, reached the
raisin first may eat it, and go win the
prize. This is very amusing to the on.
lockers, but there should be enough
strings with raisins for every member of
the company to indulge in the sport for
the benefit of the others.
Dishes
Still another amusement is to place
three soup dishes or bowls on a table,
one of which you leave empty; iuto an
other you put clear water, and into the
third, soapy water. Each person present
is in turn blindfolded, and after the dishes
have been moved so as to change their
position, the bIindfolded one is led for
ward and told to dip his finger into one
of the dishes. If it is in the clear water
dish be will be happily married; il in the
soap water he will have many trials, and
if in the empty dish he will never be
married.

4 WAIF FROM THE SEA
BY w. D. MORRIS


With a choking sob Ethan
slid down blindly into the deep,
placid blue, and with one long,
last look turned shoreward, the
! clinging arms Of Baby Barron
round his neck.
With q long, steady stroke; his
muscles braeed hard and taut,
eyes fixed on the green cloud of
! pines behind the town, he swan
ever shoreward with the incom.
! ing tide. For long space
hours it seemed to him, though
it was but minutes-he pushed
steadily, mechanically onward.
Overhead the hot sun blazed
down upon-him, throbbing with
fierce heat, and the little weight
round his neck minute by min
! ute grew heavy aslead. Slow
ily his head fell-loW ar
lower, till the briny water
washed against his half-closed
lips. Its salt sting brought him
back with a quick shock from the
dreamland whose border is death,
into which he was fast slipping.
With quick, spasmodic effort,
he raised himself out of the
water and glanced shoreward.
How far off it still seemed! Could
he make twas it worth while
making it, after all? But if ne
failed - cowardly failed = how
could he meet her there
Is vewy sleepy, a tired little
whisper reached his ear. Is it
vewy far now?
By an odd freak of memory
there suddenly came back to him
Baby Barron's quaint, | did want
to be a fis',a ,and he caught himself
almost smiling at the recollection
"a fish!
Well soon be there, little one,
he answered back cheerily,
breasting the water with long,
fierce strokes. Just think you are a
fish, Baby Barron, that I'm TAX
ing home.
Long minutes later, when lights
were dancing before his eyes and
the water was again tapping at
his mouth, it seemed to him the
confused sound of a cheer was
borne across the water; a shadow
darkened its surface, and the
next instant strong jersey clad
arms reached over the gunwale
of the outcoming boat and drew
him and Baby Barron over its
side.
Save her-out there! He waved
an arm feebly with a last effort
as mist gathered over his eyes.
And far off, it seemed to him,
came the instant reply: Wen get
her, sir, a right; dinna ye fear,
as he slipped down toward the
valley of shadows.
Ay, that's man moo, said the
helmsman of the boat, with an
expressive gesture. Give way,
lads, wi a will; we'll hae the
young lady in a twinklin'. Dave

One sunlit afternoon, just three

They talked as lovers talk, from

A moment or two later Baby
Barron, in sea shrunken frock
her cheeks, flushed and eyes shin.

clutching fast in her hands a
giant suntlower,- all wilted and
dropping.
Its for you-bof of you-to

Impulsively Leslie Maynard
caught up to her breast the for.

and covered the quivering lips
with kisses.
Oh, you poor Baby Barron, it
was selfish of me 10 forget you,
she said, with a little catch in
her breath. It is good of you to
bring US such lovely flower
Isn't it just! Jack Ethan
chimed in quickly. And it re-
minds me that there'll be little
bridesmaid wanted alta wedding
soon. How would you like to be
a bride smaid, Baby Barron?

 Randall Emmet, the blind. one armed mau who has been a fa- miliar figure n this country for the past twenty years, has pass ed to his reward. He died at the home of one of his children on Piney on Friday of last week and interment was Omade at New Home cemetery Saturday after noon. MT. Emmet was horribly mangled by the premature ex- plosion of a blast in a well near Zion Hill on Dec. 2, 1887, both eye balls were blown out, his
 
 skull fractured. and an arm so badly lacerated that anputation was necessary. From this hor- rible condition he recovered to the extent that he groped through miserable existence for more than twenty years to finally die of consumption. His wife preceded him in death three years ago. He was the father of ten children, eight of whom were born after the accident happened. Green Forest Tribune.
