The blacks of tropical Africa are
proving their willingness to work hard
for the whites along the lines of the
new civilization which has been intro
duced In the Dark continent. The ne
gro planters of German East Africa are
raising more products for export than
the white planters. In 1903 the native
planters of Southern Nigeria shipped to
Europe and South America 800 bales
of cotton; in 1906 their cotton exports
rose to 5000 bales and If the season
of 1909 fulfills its promise the export
crop will be well-nigh $4,000 bales. The
native coffee sent to Europe and Amer
lea now amounts. without the invest
nlent of a single dollar of foreign cap
ital, to one third of all the coffee ex-
ports from that dependency.

The Forsivins WIFE. :
From tho New York American.


I know woman who has Just come
home from q long visit to Europe
She didn't go on the visit for pleas
ure; her young daughter was Ill and
she took her daughter abroad to save
her life.
When my friend came home from
abroad she noticed something peculiar
about the way her friends greeted her.
They seemed to be sorry for her some
way. though none OF them said any
thing in so many words.
One day my friend found out what
it was that made them sorry.
Her husband had had foolish little
affair with foolish little woman and
there had been a little scandal about
1T.
My friend loves her husband and he
loves her. So she went to him and
said: Dear. you are worried; you
are in trouble; you think I'm going to
find something out and be angry with
you.
II have found IT out and l am not
angry with you. am sorry for you.
want you to know that am not only
your wife, l am the best friend, the
most loyal, the most unselfish and the
truest friend you have in the world.
will stand by you through this thing.
know that you have not been really
faithless to ME: you have Just been
foolish: you are heartstck over the
whole thing now; 30 am 1. Come, let's
be heartsick together"
And the husband of my friend looked
at her as If he heard some one speak
ing from an open grave. and he told
his wife the whole truth the foolish,
silly, miserable truth, and she talked
1t all over with him and comforted him
and encouraged him and laughed at
him and leased him. and together they
faced the whole thing through-and
now YOU couldn't lure that man away
from his wife with any siren who ever
sang, or any Salome who ever dreamed

His works coarse, they shrieked till
And the whole bunch seemed near

To him went the blame
When they lost the game
To the team that was visiting there.
The next days game was not the Same
And the bleachers were pleased with 1t;

And the bleachers howled not a bit:
To the imp not kick.

BAND CONCERT WAS A SUCCESS

Friday evening, June II, crowded
house greeted the Malta band in it's
second concert of the season. From
start to finish the entire program was
of lively interest and each number
was heartily applauded.
The band was assisted by the Malta
Orchestra. Solos were sung by Miss
es Elizabeth Kildutf, Marie Cox and
Grace McGregor, each one graciously
responding to hearty encores.
The instrumental solos by Miss
Leah Caselberg and E. L. Hendrix
were much enjoyed, as was also the
quartette, consisting of Misses Cox
and Peck and Messrs. Facey and
Sklower.
After the concert was finished the
floor was cleared for dancing until
100 a. m.
Quite number of out Of town peo-
pie from Glasgow, Saco, and Dodson
were present and spoke highly of the
efficiency of the band under the lead
ership of Prof. T. M. Facey.
We understand that Professor
Facey is planning another entertain
ment by the band different from any
thing ever given by Malta talent.
The band can rest assured of full
house when they are ready to give
another entertainment.
