NOT DISAPPEARING FAST.

Another magazine writer has come
10 the front with i theory that the ne
gro race is dying ont The writer be-
liares that the so-called negro PROB
Ism will disappear with the disap-
pearance of the negro There is not
much In the census figures TO bear
ont the theory In 1880 the colorel
population Of the United States was

There is a heavy death rate among
negroes in cities, it is true This
probably is due to the unfayorable
and unhealthful conditions which pre-
vail IN localities largely inhabited by
negroes The negro does not flourish
in cities, at least net in proportion as
does the white race. He is not 50
comfortably housed or fed or clad as
the white man and he Is VIGOROUSLY
more careless about conserving his
health. For thes reasons the morta-
airy records of the cities might indi-
cate that the colored race is disap-
Fearing. 1t should be remembered,
however, that there are still some mil
lions OF negroes residing in rural corn
Imunities. In those communities the
death rate is not so great as in the
cities and the birth rate is larger, pro
portionately, than among the whites

PERSONAL LIBERTY.

In the earlier, and Shall we say
Letter, days Of the reprblie, the
first consideration that entered in
to every political struggle, the gea
of all effort, AMI the battle cry OF
democratic aspiration Was personal
liberty. TO 4 everything else was
TO be subordinate, and except for
crime no invasion of it was to he
tolerated. The PURPOSE Of govern
ment was enforcement of laws for tie
security Of life and y. Jperty and for
the general defense, and beyond that
it could not so.
Under that system men grew mp
and the country was developed by
individual enterprise and capacity
which always IL found where govern

do and shows him how to do it. 1t

A ceyIon Story About the Reptile and

is II called 'chlorophane." a rare va
riety of fuOr spar. which shines at

has long been Il tradition among the
natives that Il certain species of cobra
makes use of this stone to attract in
sectS in the darkness. Indeed. the
name given it is ''naja-kaller.' or CO.
bra stone. \. scientist resolved to test
this wonderful story during Il stay in
the island, so offered any cody > ru-
PEGS to point out Il stone carrying CO.
bra. In about 4 week an Old Tamil
came in and offered to show him one.
He followed this guide. and. sure
enough, there, under IN immense tama-
rind tree, he saw n little point of steady
greenish light and could family distin-
waving its head from side to side. It
would have been desperately dangerous
to approach the reptile. and the cody
begged him not to do so, saying thai
next night he would himself get tbs
stone. He did SO. and in rather clever
fashion. Before dark he climbed into
the tree. carrying Il large bag Of ashes.
After ni%htfaIl the cobra turned up. az

it carried il its mouth. before it.

Backache is only a simple thing at

That serious kidney troubles follows:
That diabetes, Bright's disease may

You will gladly profit by the following

j. L Davis, living in Arapahoe, Neb.,
says: about a year ago | was in very
poor health, having suffered from kid
ney trouble for some time. My body
was racked with dull. nagging pains
and felt nervous and restless all the
time. The secretions from my kidneys
were too frequent in action, scanty in
passage and contained a heavy sediment.
Nv fee5 and ankles also become swollen
and l suffered from frequent chills.
After using several remedies with unsat-
isfactory results, Doan's Kidney Pills
were brought to my attention and 1
procured a box. They relieved me at
once and [ continued to use them until
