gagged in more noble task than any
crusade of the middle ages in an ef-
fort, and a successful effort, to rob
the great whites plague of its terrors.
Similarly with nearly all the dread
diseases of a generation ago With
all this there are the great philan-
thropies, the story of which reads
like impossible rolnances. The care
of the blind, the deaf, the imbecile
and the insane is now reduced to q
science and the spirit of kindness Is
permeating all of life.
The ancients sang sweetly OF a
golden age. Sometimes it was an age
of the past and at others an age to
come. Christmas is the golden age OF
the year, and when the spirit of the
Christmas babe is infused into the
other days and weeks of the year we
shall know the golden age of the race.
A quotation from Henry Van Dyke
is perhaps as much in harmony with
the real purpose of Christmas as any
thing / might close with. He says:
There is a loftier ambition than
merely to stand high in the world. 1t
is to stoop down and lift mankind
a little higher" This, too, is the
Christmas mood

A touch of old Southern life is
pictured in the cover design of Uncle
Remus' magazine for December. IL
is that of the ancient negro man IN
his best clothes of a Christmas morn
ing at the door of the white folks
who have been his friends befo' and
after the war as well. The legend I'M
der the picture tells its story, Chris
mus Gif'-Mistis an Marster. Gate
City readers, many of whom are OF
southern antecedents, will agree with
the thought voiced in the columns OF
the ST Louis Globe-Democrat that
most phases of our social life pass
away without regret, but the old az
lection between the whites and the
blacks of the South had some charms
that even wider freedom and more
just conditions can't replace.

Pancakes and Pie for Breakfast.

From "The Degeneration of the
Breakfast Table" by Eugene Wood,
in Everybody's Magazine: am aware
that, according to the latest edition
OF the Revised Statutes, eating pie at
breakfast is now penitentiary of
tense punishable by hard labor on the
farm for a period not exceeding
eighty-five years; but 1t once, shared
with early rising the reputation OF a
yirtuous act. There are people today
who are we'll thought of in the COM

none the less, eaten pie for breakfast
and have tipped back on their chairs
hind-legs when the broom was passed,

their faces as spoke OF peace with all
the world, themselves included.

much fried stuff. pork and eggs and
potatoes and pancakes and SO much
sweet stuff, molasses, fruit preserves,
coffee cup a puddle OF sugar, pie and
all that, sends us who hear it to the
kitchen cupboard where the cooking
soda is, first aid to the indigestive. To
eat such meal seems hardly less
barbarous than wearing feathers in a
scalp lock. But remember that we
didn't work ali day yesterday from

Louisville, Aug. 21.-The old-time
southern nanny" was celebrated at
the final sessions Of the tenth annual
convention of the National Negro Bus
iness League, which closed here last
night. ]. E. Bush, delegate from Lit
tie Rock, Ark, occupied a portion of
his report to the convention with a
fine tribute to her and the part she
played in making the race problem less
complicated than in the north. In
Bush's report the following provoked
much favorable comment: ut may not
be to our credit. nevertheless it is a
fact, that no southern housewife would
attempt to hold her servant force In
tact when big funeral was on at
negro church or a circus was in town.
The northern white man works his
help upon the theory that the less you
use your mouth the more work you
will do. The southern white man knows
that the negro is giving him the BEST
service when he is singing"
