An Experience at Hull Houss.

Even death itself sometimes fails to bring the dignity and serenity which one would fain associate w1sh old age. I recall the dying hour of one old Scotchwoman whose long struggle to keep respectable" had so embittered her that her last words were gibes for those who were trying to minister to her. "So you came in yourself this morning, did you? You only gent things yesterday. guess you kn4w when the doctor was coming. Don't try to warm my feet with anything but that old jacket that I've got there; it belonged to my boy who was drowned at sea nigh thirty years ago. but it's warmer yet with human feelings than any of your confounded charity hot water bottles.' Suddenly the harsh gasping voice WAS stilled in death. and awaited the doctors coming. shaken and horrified.-Jane Addams in Amer, ican Magazine.

NEGROES PLAN A
 GREAT MEETING
National Negro Business Mems League To Meet in Little Rock
 During the Coming Month.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov 24.--The executive committee of the National Negro Business Mems League will meet in l. tile Rock during the com ing month to fix the date for the meeting of the natiinal association in this city next year There Will De
 more than 5000 delegates i'll attend. ance when the league meets here,
 composed of the leading negroes oi
 the nation, and from all sections of
 the nation, some of whom have no
 idea of the progress the negro IS making in the south, and of the CO operation he Is getting from the white men of this section.
 Sciplo Jones, the well known negro lawyer of Little Rock, Is making ar- rangements for an exhibitiin here at the time of the meeting, to show tha agricultural, industrial and educa- tional products of the negroes In Ar kansas. He Is preparing now TOT a visit to every county in the state for the purpose of interesting the negroes in the exhibition. As presi- dent of the Arkansas Negro Business Men S League and vice president of the national league he will appoint three committees, one composed Of 100 negro farmers to have charge of the agricultural exhibit, one compos- ed of 100 negro teachers of the state to have charge of the educational eX- hibit, and another one composed of 100 negro men and women to have charge of the industrial exhib t.
 In planning for this exhibition, he will have the cooperation of Com- missioner of Mines Manufactures and Agriculture. Phillips, in getting in touch with the best negro farmers of the state. and Superintendent of Pulp lie Instruction Cook has assured him of the cooperation of his depart- ment in getting the negro teachers interested.
 The meeting of this national league in Little Rock is an occasion that will mean much to the negroes of the state. They will have an oppor- tunity to show the negro of the north and east that the nero is we'll treat ed here and they will have an op- portunity to forever dispel the idea that there is strife and contention between the races here.
 Not only that, but the coming of this national association to Arkan- sas will inspire the negroes of this state with new ambition and new zeal and he will take more pride in his work It will make the negro a bet ter citizen more proressive aaa more appreciated. It is expected that the negroes of the state viii join forces with the negroes of the capital city in making this the most attractive exhibit ever made by tue negroes of Arkansas and the better the exhibit here the better for the race in the south.
 By means of this exhibition a friendly rivalry may be started that will cause the negroes of Arkansas to make better crops and produce better industrial products, and it will inspire the negro student to great CT effort the exhibit will help to advertise Arkansas as we'll as help to advance the negroes.

EARLY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

The movement inaugurated by tEe Association of Collegiate Alumnae in behalf of early Christmas shopping Is one which deserves all the en- commencement it can possibly secure, says the Kansas City Journal. The purpose of the movement is one tha comments it to any good man or wo- man who stops moment and thinks of few of the many reasons why Christmas shopping should be done so early. Not the least commendable feature of the efforts itself is that 1t Is being made by women who are not themselves affected by the practice of putting off the Christmas shop ping to the last minute, who are inspired only by generous sym pathy for the weary victims of this thoughtlessness on the part of shop pers.
 From year to year the movement along this line all over the country is gaining momentum, as the force of the arguments with which it is sup ported impresses iteself upon all concerned. Once let the shoppers realize that they are serving their own best interests as we'll as those of the tired shop girls and the move ment will be accelerated. Of course, it would be more laudable if the t'r- ed shop girls got consideration ear Her in the progress of the movement but human nature must be taken in- account at all times.
 The earlier shoppers get the benc- fit of fresh assortments of goods. and they avoid the rush and escape the distracting confusion of the last days of the shopping season. Without ven turing any formal statistics, it may be estimated that much the greater bulk of the Chr stmas shopping could be done three or four weeks before Christmas just as well as, and in fact better than, during the last week be- fore the holiday. The bulk of the money spent is expended by those who do not have to wait until the last few days to distribute their available Christmas money. A large proportion Of the Christmas shopping is unavoid- ably delayed till the eve of the holi- day season, but only the thoughtless- ness of great many shoppers, who give no consideration to the shop ejrl4 pryvents them from making most of their purchases early. Scold- ing. however, Will not make incon- siderate people considerate and the members of the Association of Csl,e- giate Alumnae are going about their missionary work systematically and effectively, securing signers to a pledge to do the Christmas shoppina by December 15, ten days before Christmas. It is hoped to get 2O,. 900 signers to such a pledge and i, only half this number can be secur ed the burden of the shop girl will be materially frightened.
