gro women to bring back than animals

Talk about your innocent negroes,
they will cheat you out Of your boots.
Pa went off in the jungle to buy
animals of negro king or some kind
OF a nine spot, and he found the king
had in a corral half a dozen green
zebras, the usual yellow stripes being
the most beautiful green you ever saw.
The king told Pa it was rare species
only procured in a mountain fastness
hundreds Of miles away, and Pa
bought the whole bunch at fabulous
price, and brought them to camp. Mr..
Hagenbach was tickled to death at
the rare animals, and praised Pa, and
said there was fortune In the green
and black striped zebras. thought
there was something wrong when
heard one of those zebras bray like a
mule when he was eating hay, but 1t
wasn't my put in, and l didn't say
anything.
That night there was the greatest
rain we have had since we came here,
and in the morning the green and
black striped zebras hadn't stripe on
them, and they proved to be nothing
but wild asses and assesses, white
and dirty, and all around the corral
the water standing on the ground was
cOlored green and black.
Mr.. Hagenbach took Pa out to the
corral and pointed to the wild white
mules and said, What do you think
of your green zebras now" Pa looked
them over and said: Say, that negro
king is nothing but Pullman porter
and he painted those mules and sawed

We thought when we came to
Africa we would be near to nature,
where the natives we're simple and
honest, but Pa has found that the al
most naked negroes can give the white
men cards and spades and little casino
and then beet them at the game.
Pa has been blackmailed and scared
out of his boots and a lot Of money,
by an injured husband, as natural as
he could have been flim-fammed in
New York.
We noticed that Pa was quite inter
ested In likely negro woman, one Of
20 wives of q heather, to the extent
Of having her wash his shirts. and he
would linger at the tent Of the hus-
band and teach the woman some
words of English. such as, you bet
your life," and mot ON your life," and
q few cuss words which she seemed to
enjoy repeating.
She was a real nice looking niger,
and smiled on Pa to beat the band,
but that was all. OF course she en-
joyed having Pa call on her. and evi,
IDENTIFY showed her interest in him, but
that seemed only natural as Pa Is a
nice, clean white man with clothes on
and she looked upon him as a sort of
king, until the other wives became
jealous, and they filled the husband
up with stories about Pa and the
young negress, but Pa was as innocent
as could be. Where Pa made the mis-
take was In taking hold Of her. hand
and looking at the lines in her palm
to read her future by the lines in
her hand, and as Pa is some near
sighted he had to bend over her hand
and then she stroked Pas bald head
with the other hand, and the Other

wives went OF and left Pa and the
young wife alone, and they called the
husband to put stop to it.
Well, l never saw a giant negro so
mad as that husband was when he
came into the tent and saw Pa, and
Pa was scared and turned pale, and
the woman had a fit when she saw her
husband with baseball club with
spikes on 1t. He took his wife by the
neck and threw her out of the tent,
and then closed the tent and he and
Pa were alone, and for an hour no
one knew what happened, but when
Pa came back to our camp, wobbly in
the legs, and with not much clothes
on, we knew the worst had happened.
Pa told Mr., Hagenbach that the
negro acted like human being. He
cried and told Pa he had broken into
his family circle and picked the fairest
flower, broken his heart and left him
an irresponsible and broken man, the
laughing stock Of his friends, and
nothing but Pas life or his money
could settle 1t.
Pa offered to give up his life, but
the injured husband had rather have
the money, end after an hour Pa COM
promised by giving him SIG and his
coat, pants and shirt. and Pa is to
have the wife in the bargain. Pa
didn't want to take the wife. but the
husband insisted on it, and Mr.. Hagen

Why should women be given the ballot?
Because they are as intimately concerned
with the laws as men are. They are
equally subject to them. If an administra-

If the laws are unwise or unjust they have
to suffer. And they know very well that
laws which are unjust to women would

1t Is the
Average Man
Who Suffers

The common fallacy that it is the direct tax
payer who pays for graft and inefficient government
has been skillfully used and taught by too many
self-seeking demagogues urging support for officers
for organizations which have abused public trust,
wasted public funds and msdirected the energies Of
government by granting privileges and monopoes
for their private enrichment What is more to the
point, by provoking class feeling and stimulating
prejudice, the argument is often successful. Through
dispensing to the needy small percentage of the
subverted funds gratuties and evidence of per-
sonal interest in their welfare the CRATER has
ceeded in holding himself up as more desirable
citizen than the man of wealth. In this way the
