A LITTLE
SPECULATION

BY GEORGE APPLETON

Two men drove into the yard of
Farmer Spence and offered to pay for
the privilege of painting this sign on
the barn:
BLUFFS Buffers WILL CURE
QUICKLY, PERMANENTLY, THE
WORST CASE or DYSPEPSIA.
STUN ALL QUACK STUFF THE
GREATEST FAMILY MEDICINE
ON EARTH. CURES ALL. NEVER
FAILS.
The farmer was ready to go to mar
ket, and was in haste to depart. He
told the painters that they must con.
suit his wife; ii she We're Wiling. they
could paint the sign, and he drove
away. The farmer supposed that his
wife was in the house, but she had
gone to her daughters home--a short
distance away across the fields.
The signpainters, finding no one in
the house, put up their ladders and
began to make black letters on the
board side of the long, white barn,
Probably they had had experience. IL
the farmers wife were willing; so
much time were gained; il she were
not willing, and the sign were up
when she appeared, they must arbi-
trate.
Mrs. Spence, looking from the win
dow of her daughters house, saw the
painters at work. Calling TO her SON
inlaw and Major, the farm dog that
had accompanied her. she fastened to
interview the painters. The black
daubers had planned. evidently. to
paint the sign in sections to save time
and labor. When Mrs. Spence ar

first won the sympathy of the whites in the neigh
borhood. The colored boys who were working in
the homes of whites, under the continual precept
and example of the teachers in the college where
they studied at night, grew honest industrious
and reliable. Little by little the best people in
the town became interested in what was being
done in the face of many difficulties Vandalism
ceased. Now every one in Austin is proud of the
coored college. The ablest and best white people
there are its warmest friends and supporters.
AS an evidence of the good business principles
which the college has been run, and which 1t
has lived up to scrupulously in all it's dealings, it
is said that the credit of the institution stands
high among the merchants of the town that it
practically is good for almost any amount
I'VE propose here that the negro shall be hon.
est industrious and altruistic," says this Booker
Washington of the southwest. I'VE propose to do
right. And If we do right, if we be honest, indus
trous useful patriotic citizens pray tell me what
then? Shall the righteous be forsaken and their
seed beg bread? Shall we be denied the rights OF
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and all
that these involve? My faith in the American
people compes the statement that all will be well.
A good white man and good black man will get
along well together. correct solution of the race
problem depends upon the development of good
men and women of both races who will mete out
to each other square deal. 1t is upon this
cepton of its proper solution that the efforts of
Samuel Huston college to solve the race problem
here are based"
But this humble and little known Booker Wash
ington of the southwest is not content with what
he has accomplished already No college presi-
dent is if he is made of the right stuff. His
college is in the great Texas cotton belt, and there
are million negroes who need to be educated in
way another, according to their capacities
and their requirements He does not contemplate
educating them all at once but he does desire to
do as much possible for he argues that the
perpetuty of the nation depends not educating
part of the people, but all of them-to send out
and more of his students peacemakers.
His next step is the establishment of indus
trial building for boys. An industrial school for
girls is in operation already. Lovinggood says
they have had to turn away about 500 city and
country boys within the last few months-boys
who wanted to learn some kind of trade-because
they had facilities for teaching them. Judging
by what he has been able to achieve in the past
there is little doubt he will succeed in this under
taking. When this building is completed and
equipped only the fundamental and the simplest
trades will be taught there such as blacksmithing.
carpentry, shoemaking, masonry, etc.

Uses of Adder Fat

In picturesque England of the past the adder
hunter piled his trade in woods and forests
The last of the adder hunters died a few years
since. Mr.. c.. ]. Cornish, in his book on the New
forest, has given interesting picture of this
worthy, who known "Brusher." He was
sung all over with bags of sackng, his pockets
stuffed with tins and boxes and from his
chest hung pair of long steel forceps In his hand
he carried a light stick with a ferrule in which
when he reused the snake, he put short forked
piece of hazel wood, and, dartng it forward with
unerring aim, pinned the adder to the ground
'Brusher' derived a considerable revenue from
the sale of ladders fat, which regarded by the
inhabitants of the New forest as veritable phar-
macopoeia- 1t was believed to be remedy for the
bite of the snake and, according to 'Brusher' him
self-his real name, by the way, was Mills
