A WOODLAND TRAGEDY

"He prayeth best who loveth best,
both man and bird and BEAST" sung
the wise poet, and there was certain
~ ample opportunity to demonstrate
the truth of his lines in the woodland
retreat occupied by boy Charlie and
myself No sooner had condescended
to strip off my aggressive individuality
for while, and put myself implicitly
into the general order, and drift with
the ordained arrangement, than the
general order came inQuiringly up to
my threshold and held out paws and
beaks and mandibles, and wagged tails
as if it carried in it's poor, half-de-
veloped consciousness kindly desire
to renew the paradisaical truce. 1t is
astonishing how quickly the gossip Of
the wood carries. The birds told the
squirrels and the squirrels told the
woodchucks: THAT man and his boy
In the Hotchkiss hut are not killers. It
Is incredible, but true, they haven't
destroyed anything since they ar
rived"
This rumor appeared to have excited
the curiosity of every bug and beast

name he was known in the family as
long as we stayed in the hut. Late
In the fall he had the impudence to
come with companion and make a
nest in q corner of the woodshed,
much to the annoyance of Gabe
Hotchkiss, who ranked him as vermin,
and to the standing amazement of the
yellow dog, that could never get it out
Of her head that it was not an in
fringement of her proprietary right in
Charlie.
That this squirrel somehow spread
the news that we were a pair of in
comprehensive and effeminate buffers

cient masculinity to interfere with
anything, and that the whole animal
creation ought to take advantage of it,

we had polished up the boy, and then
they had gone away hand in hand,
very happy, without even looking back
or giving me thought. Charles last
instruction to me was: Don't forget
to give that apple on the table to Mar
mion when he comes In, and give him
the other one when he comes back"
This led to the explanation from
Charlie that the animal always carried
the first apple away, and ate the Sec
ond one contentedly on the lawn, be-
cause he had young ones somewhere.
l rolled the two apples out on the
wire grass, took my stick, went off
for a solitary walk and, coming to an
inviting cloister on the edge of the
wood, l sat down under a cedar can

choly rhythm to the air as it mingled
with the low and inarticulate psalm

there were some peanuts that Charlie

NORTHERN NEGROES
WILL GET OFFICES
President Contemplating a
New Plan for Recogniz-
ing Colored Voters.

That President Taft is going to make
appointments Of Northern negroes to
office rather than Southern ones is the
Information which has been pretty
thoroughly disseminated arlong the col
ored politicians of Washington and else
where.
The President has talked over his ideas
about the appointment Of colored men
TO office with some Of the leading men
of the race and he has signified to
them his inclination to give recognition
20 the negro voters in Northern States
where there are large populations Of
blacks.
AS the result of this policy, it is ex-
pected that the negroes in the South
who are holding important offices will,
as their terms expire, be displaced for
the most part by whites and i'm turn
recognition will be given to colored men
in the North.
In the entire South. there are not
many offices held by colored men-that
is, offices Of Importance and influence.
The list Of COlOred men holding import
ant offices i'm the South under the Fed
Cral Cove -.uent includes the following:
Robert Smalls, collector of customs at
Beaufort, :. c.. Henry A RuCker. col
lectOr of internal revenue at Atlanta,

revenue at Jacksonville, Fla; Nathan

McAllister, receiver of public moneys
at Jackson. Miss; Walter L. Cohen,
register of the land office at New Or
leans; Alexander =. Kennedy, receiver
Of public moneys at New Orleans; John
+. Bush, receiver Of public moneys at
Little Rock.
The course the Pres deIt will take
IN the matter Of amounting CoiOred men

ton OF a successor TO W. T. Vernon,
