 !: the whole sky to itself. Ev- A=,1 erything presaged a hot day
 Early though the hour was -th8 clock had not yet strucl; G-Emna EGs out on the piazza dressed for walking. She wore cool, clinging costume of pale straw colored tussah so short that it descended little below the tops of her high buttoned light tan shoes. X soft felt hat, such as men travellers roll up and carry ill their pockets. was secured to her fair hair by a hatpin, and it's limp border hung down and shaded her eyes. These. of l blue tl.lt rivaled the heavens, were sparkling with admiration of the scene, and her cheeks gfowed with health She made q lovely picture as she stood gazing out into the valley. Jimsy Smith, who had stopped on the read above on his way from the hotel, where te h2d iut uQ the night b2f2rc and of whose presence there at tbat moment she was quite unconscious. thought he had never seen any picture so beautiful in dll his life But, then, Jimsy'S judgment was biased. He had always considered Emma pretty and found sonlet hing to admire in her even when. with grimy hands and in sCilcd cotton dress, she was engaged in the unp2etical occupation of polish ing tho kitchen stove.
 Beth, her hair twisted into little wave knots with queer pins and at tired in a pink wrapper, joined her.
 Why don't you get your things on and come with us?" urged Emma "Jimsy will be here at G o'clock"
 Me? North mountain? No, thank you. l had enough walking yesterday. I'm going to church: mothers coming tco. We didn't go last Sunday. and the whole park will be gossiping if the family isn't represented sometimes hy some one or et'.Cr. They'll think were . asl Ea-ans. Besides. I'm going to wear the new gown Jimsy brought up for E.c from the dressmaker's. Wasn't f lucky le was coming? It wouldn't l&Yc been here til Tuesday or Wednes- day.

 Jimsy wal itcd down through the laurel bower.

But it's quite impossible to stay abed with Emma carrying oa IS if it was the middle oc the day. Shes been humming all over the house since o'clock, and all that because she's going for a climb"
 "Why. She hasn't slept a wink think ing cf her new drcss,'' laughed Eniina. Well, Beth, by the time you've got your halo out. of curl and settle down

 "Jimsy, if l didn't know different I'd suspect you of being d poet. The next thing we know you'll be wearing your hair long and pouring out your soul ill Sapphic strophes, like-like Emma, here
 "I don't know that I've sampled that particular brand of strophes, and l ain't quite sure that l know just what strophes are, but if Emma thinks they are all right I'll stand for en-
 oh. come on, Jimsy; don't listen to her nonseEse," laughed Emma.
 They started out briskly, Emma showing the way.
 Do you know, it's real treat to go walking with you,' she said. Il know you love it. I've heard you say so. Beth can't bear long walks, and, as for
 mother, she rarely goes farther than her piazza rocking chair. But I've dragged Beth about and learned every path through the woods to the sum- lnits and plateaus. This is the second summer I've been here, you know.'
 Deserting the beaten path, they as cended through forests of trees of ey cry description, but as they proceeded along the path, in places ankle deep in wet moss, and pushed through under brush that kept smith busy breaking d way for his dainty but hardy and seemingly tireless companion they came into the fir region, amid hoary giants that shot sheer to such a height that they seemed to form pillars for the canopy of the heavens. Emma re- garded the great trees with awe, but were as saplings compared with the mighty trees of the west. He tried to describe these and became filled with the fever of immensity. The long unfelt influence of the D0rderlesS prairies, the mammoth mountain chains far flung through the prodigious spaces of the sunset lands that dimin- ! iShed their proportions, was upon him. | His soul strained to burst it's tetherS and soar upward into the infinite, where it could expand unrestrained. Burning words, never used, unilnaE ined before in his unlettered mind ade- quate to depict this liberated spiritual ity, surged unanimously to his lips to die there.
 For the source of their inspiration, of lthis tremendous flight into the divine azure from his regulated rcle of the commonplace and coldly practical, was the woman at his side, the one being ill the world who was dear to him and lever had been. whom he held in little less reverence than he did his Maker. He broke off his description of the forest giants and vast freedoms of the west with q conclusion in his or dinary street surface language.
 But there-it's no use me trying to do any lecture platform stunts. l wasn't born with the gift of the gab. Emma, them things have got to be Geen to be appreciated. There's no other way. You understand.'
 Yes. Emma understood.

CAUSASIAN DEPRAVlTY.

On the topic of depravity of the
Afro-American population, much has
been said by the Caucasian press.
That depravity has been made the ex-
cuse for lynchings and all other out
RACES perpetrated upon the pro-
scribed race.
All these have been exploited as
means to preserve the purity of the
white race. Yet it may fairly be
doubted whether or not the purity of
the white race is, in all instances, so
immaculate as to justify such extreme
measures.
For instance, the Chicago Record
Herald gives the following account of
how New Years was celebrated in the
heightened cafes of the city,
eve are told, on good authority, of
young women in the most revolving
stages of drunkenness; of the COM
plete breaking down of social bar
riers; Of disgraceful exhibitions that
suggest the worst features of the no.
torious French balls"
If any such orgies occurred in Chi
cago, or any other part of the coun.
try, among Afro-Americans, THE
APPEAL has not heard of them.

LIBERTY IN AMERICA,

During the graduating exercises in
the Baron de Hirsch school in New
York. where fifty immigrant children
had learned the English language suf-
ficiently we'll to enter the public
schools: when the American flag was
borne past the children, one little girl
pulled up the folds and reverently
kissed that which symholized to her
freedom and safety for the refugee,
an end to oppression and the right to
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness.
In the United States are 100000
who are alleged to be
citizens. All were born in this coun-
try. Thousands now living have
fought to defend the flag; thousands

mated in the same way, and the mu-
stefan who wrote it off made no Sc
cret of the matter, but admitted that
he caught it from "Whistling Dick
who was accustomed to sing and per-
form on the streets of Philadelphia.
THE APPEAL is of the opinion
that 'Dixie" is about as fit as Cyan
kee Doodle" for our national song.
Both are 'buffoonry, pure and simple,
utterly unworthy Of any national rec
ognition, and hopes that in process
of time some American genius will
arise to compose fer us a song that
will rank with LA Marseillaise, p"
die Wacht Am Rhein" and the Rus
sian National Hymn.
We need something solemn, digni-
fed and impressive.

to remark that both the Negroes and
the hookworm were undoubtedly
brought here by the white man.

was former member of the board or

lector of taxes, three times delegate
to Republican national conventions, a
member of the board of aldermen I'M
der the old city government, and also

During the period of his service in
this capacity the country was under
going the great agitation for the en-
actment Of the fourteenth and fiji
teenth amendments to the Constitu-
ticn Of the United States. His posi-
ton, as we'll as his business promi-
hence, brought him into contact with
many leading men of the country and
he eyerted his influence in favor OF
this legislation.
He was also instrumental during
this period in having repealed much
legislation affecting the District Of
Columbia which was odiOus to the
Afro-American people. Among this
was discrimination in street cars and
other common carriers. On one occa-
sion he entered a car placarded ''For
Whites" with the purpose Of having
himself elected so as to have a case
to carry before the Courts and to Con-
gress.

BLACK MADE WHITE.

An illinois scientist recently told a
learned society in Boston that it is
entirely possible for Negro to make
a white man of himself. All he has
to do is to use certain injections and
baths until the chromosomes in the
cells become attenuated or destrcyed.".
THE APPEAL does not know much
about the above treatment, but from
an article in Pearson's Magazine it
learns that in Louisiana and other
Southern states a whole lot of people
whose chromosomes have been atten-
uated and who are passing as pure
white people are really descendants
of San Domingo free men and women
of color. Some of these are among
the very aristocracy of Louisiana.

"DIxIE."

Since one of the government music
men has raised terrible storm by
pronOuncing Dixie the most popu-
lar national song, it seems meet for
THE APPEAL to say it's say about
the matter; and that say is that in it's
opinion Dixie" is of unmistakable
Negro origin, and was probably writ
ten and arranged by Dan Emmett
from what he had heard the Negroes
of his company sing.
Indeed, old Dan, in his account of
the way he came to write the song,
almost admits the fact; for he says:
when caught in inclement weather.
the Negroes with the circus were
wont to wish they were back in Dix
leland" This undeniable proof of the
Negro origin of the song which old
Dan Emmett caught and wrote off.
Another, once very popular song

he is probably right. He quotes from
Pope the line, "a little learning is a
dangerous thing" but does not quote
the next line, Drink deep or taste not
the Pierian spring." Nor does he sug-
gest that a little liberty is also a dan

Most people who are elected to Of

physician is chosen, because they
know what is good for the people bet
ter thar the people themselves do.
Hence they conclude that they have
the perfect right to disregard the
wishes Of the people when the people
desire to do some wrong thing. Under
the same presumption a political par
ty solemnly draws up a platform sim
ply regarding it as huge joke, and

VERDICT FOB AFRO-AMER|cAN

VERDICT FOB AFRO-AMERICAN.
Mrs. Agnes Carver Brent, an Afro
American woman, has been awarded
a verdict for $3.50 damages against the
Great Falls 4 Old Dominion Railway
Company for alleged false arrest, by
a jury in the Circuit Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The plaintiff was a passenger in
August, 1906, on a car from George
town to Livingston Heights, in Viz
ginia; she was seated in the third seat
from the rear Of the car, and when
Virginia was reached the conductor,
acting under the Jim crow car law of
Virginia, directed her to move to the
second seat from the rear. When
she declined he caused another en-
ploe of the road, known as a special
officer for Fairfax county, but not for
Alexandria county, to place her under
arrest. She was taken to Great Falls,
it was testified, then to Rosslyn, and
to the Alexandria county Jail, from
which place she was released about
midnight.
1t was a great outrage and Mrs.
Brent ought to have gotten the $20,-
GEO she sued for. It is. however. re-
markable that she was awarded $3.50,
as the usual award in Jim crow cases
in the District is one cent and costs.
