Farmers are nearly through with
busking corn, but no plowing has
been done in the neighborhood, ex-

plowed. The ground is very dry, and
already we notice springs are falling,

fore the ground freezes, the water
supply may be short this winter.
Next week will usher in the butch
ering season, and by the time It is
over there will be very few hogs
left to carry over the winter, as corn

MR.. GATHER OF MARYLAND
SPEAKS

Mr. Gather of Maryland, recently
girded up his loins and made a great
big speech, the main purpose of which,
as we learn was as follows:
Mr.. Gather wants the Negroes and
the country at large to understand
that Republican success in the south,
or in any state, does not mean Negro
supremacy over the white race.
1t would seem from the above that
two parties, first, the country at large
and second, the Negroes, are in a
most dismal and woeful state of ignor-
ance as to what Republican success
in the South" means. and Mr.. Gather
kindly undertakes to dispel the ignor-
ance. THE APPEAL will let '3the
country at large" take care of itself
and devote little attention to the
subject of Negro supremacy. Mr..
Gaithetr's remarks about that point

has no aspirations for supremacy
the most ignorant has no dream of
any such thing. He simply asks to
be treated as a man and to enjoy
the rights that other men enjoy. He
protests against being ostracized,
swindled and prosecuted in the land
of his birth. He pays taxes like other
men, fights for his country like other
men and is far better qualified to vote
than thousands of the ignorant hill
billies of the South and the "scum of
Europe" in the North. He has had a
life-time's experience in being an
American, and don't know how to be
anything else. He is a Republican
and don't know how to be Democrat
and that's what's the matter with
him down south.

he dug the gold, but no one could ever
find out. One night he agreed that if
l would grub stake him he would take
me and the editor of the only paper in
the city out to his mine and work it
with US on shares. Getting together
all the money I had in the world, I
bought supplies, and one night all three
of us started for the mine. I shall
never forget that all night walk in the
moonlight. AS early morning came in
the east we reached the high bank of
dry river bed. It was a beautiful
morning, and we cooked breakfast be-
fore we rested. The first meal was
the embankment and all around were
old deserted mines. All that day we
rested, and after each meal we played
poker to see who was to wash the
dishes. Somehow it always fell my
turn. This was fine for my delicate
piano hands. The next morning we
were early at work. The Indian smok-
ed most of the time, lying on the river
bank and watching the editor and my
self work. For days we washed pans
as we stood in the cold water from the
mountains with bent backs We were
rewarded by seeing tiny fakes of gold
in each pan, each one worth at least
10 cents, l would say to myself. But
at the end Of a week rains set in, the
disappeared. We sacked our gold and
walked back to Nevada City. When
the gold was assayed and melted down
it Melted the three of Us a nugget
worth just $4.sS."
The comedian turned around and
smiled at the visitor.
"Of course you know the answer"
he said. Il had to work in the cafe
until I got money enough to go home.
And no one ever found out where the
Indian got his nuggets. Later I got a
job in Frisco in that desperate part of
the city called the Barbary Coast, and
played for thugs and crooks for 81 a
night I worked there just one night.
Still later. went back to the hotel at
Catalina island, and from there to New
York, where had quite a success Civ
ing parlor entertainments for the smart
set: Now I am in vaudeville, where
they seem to like me. And that's about
all the story"
