realize that they were not in the sunny
South" The car was full to its capacity,
and crowded next to a well dressed man
sat a negro poorly clad and not over
clean. At his feet was dilapidated hand
bag, which he showed closer and closer
TO his neighbOr's feet. until the man turned
to his dusky neighbor and said: Don't do
THAR The words seemed 10 fall on deaf
ears, for presently the man repeated,
Don't do thatl' and few minutes later.
IN a louder and more emphatic tone: Don't

About that time there was a negro exodus.

the bath, swimming around gayly. He
took the worm out of the water and placed

the table beside the water. After a few
contortions the worm gave UP the battle
and was hshed out dead. Just as the rev.

A number Of young people received invi-
tations TO a beefsteak party which will
take place at a resort where many feeds
