THE INDEPENDENT NEGRO PO-
LITICAL LEAGUE AT WORK.

The Independent Negro Political
League is at work. Bishop Alexan-
der Walters, Of New York, is at the
head Of the National organization,
and Rev. S. l.. Corrothers, of this
! city, is in charge Of the local wing.
Rev. j. Milton Waldron Is national
organizer and publicity agent. En-
lcouraged by the fact that all Of the
states in which the League was &C
| tive elected Democratic governors,
1.-THE leaders Of the organization are
tusing the argument that since the
! Negroes are showing a disposition to
divide their vote, and to help the
Democracy into power, the Demo-
cratic party should be willing to
throw out lifeline for such Ne
Igroes as may have lost confidence
in the ability Or the willingness Of
the Republican party to grant JUS
. tice to it's erstwhile black allies.
! Bishop Walters and his associates
| have been taking the matter up with
the Democratic managers in a very
systematic and earnest fashion. A
few days ago group of Democrat
! lc congressman, numbering fifteen
or twenty, gathered by request in
the committee room of the Hon.
Champ Clark, to hear what the Bish-
op had to say and to consider any
proposition that he might make. Mr..
| Clark, who is to be the next Speak
er Of the House of Representatives
presided over the meeting, and af-
ter an impassiOned presentation Of
his cause by Bishop Walters, fol-
lowed by Dr.. Waldron and DR.. Cor
rothers, each OF the Democrats in
the chamber expressed himself as
agreeably surprised to find able
colored men in such q receptive
mood toward the Democratic party
and it was agreed that a careful
study Of the formal propositions
submitted by the League would be
made. reply is expected shortly
which will contain an assurance
from representative Democrats that
fair play will be granted to the col
ored men who wish to cast their for.

Selling Horses.
Many farmers make the mistake of

rarely pays to sell colt before it is

the winter in training horse will add
considerably to his market value
This training should begin even before
the colt is weaned, as he can be han

should be first taught to lead. then to
obey the word and rein and later to
pull, back and stand without tying.
As finishing touch he should be
taught not to fear automobiles or cars.

will do enough work to pay for his
keep. 1t will generally be most profit

On Lake Thun Thunder lake,, in
Switzerland, is the little town of Ober-
hafen, with it's schloss and tiled roof
ed houses and quaint narrow streets
running in so many diagonal direc-
tons that if the town were not very
small one could never find his way
from one end to the other. A short
distance from Oberhafen, bordering
the lake, is little fruit farm that for
generations has belonged to a family
OF the name Of Zeltner. .-
About hundred years ago there
was growing up on the farm Gretchen
Zeltner, one Of those plump, fair, fax
en- haired Swiss lasses who are attrac-
tive even to this day. And today on
going to church of a Sunday the Swiss
girls wear the same costumes that

end from the bosom, the other from
the shoulder blade. On Gretchen's
head was a dainty white muslin cap.
A pretty girl in such a costume was
not likely to want for lovers, nor did
Gretchen, but she gave her heart to
one Max Beck and had no encourage
ment for any other.
One day peddler passed through
ODernafcu and stopped at the zcltner
farm. Herman Zeltner, Gretchen's IA
Their, was seen to walk away from the
house with the peddler in earnest con-
versation. They climbed up the noun
tain side and passed through a wood,
beyond which was an open space,
where grew single apple tree. Zelt-
ner returned to the house, but the
peddler did not. Later his people, who
missed him, tracked him to the Zelt-
ner farm, but could gain no trace of
him after his departure. The last per-
son by whom he was seen was Her.
man Zeltner.
Naturally suspicion fell upon the
farmer of having murdered the ped
der, for it was known that the latter
had good deal Of money on his per-
son. Zeltner was arrested and taken
before a magistrate. There were no
witnesses, and he was simply ques-
toned. He said that the peddler had
told him that he had made enough
money to buy farm and was DESTROYS
of doing so. He asked Zeltner to show
him over his own farm and give him
some instruction as to what he would
need. Zeltner had done so, and when
the two reached the apple tree which
marked the farthest point the farm
extended up the mountain side they
had stood under it for awhile, Zeltner
telling the man what implements he
would need and where to procure
them. While talking some loose stones
were detached above and came down
the incline Thinking it was some ami
NAL, they had listened, but heard moth
ing more Then the peddler had gone
on, having inquired the way to one of
the villages higher up on the noun
tain side.
There being no evidence against
ZeltDer, he was discharged from GUS
tody; but, though he had previously
borne an excellent reputation, many
people believed him guilty. Unfortu-
nately for Max and Gretchen old Carl
Beck was among this number. He told
his son that the Becks had for gen.
erations borne spotless reputation
and that he would never consent that
the daughter of a murderer should
come into the family. This meant
that the young man should give VI
Gretchen.
"Max," said Gretchen one day ir
tears, IF we could but find the mur.
derer that would relieve father of this
suspicion which is killing him."
Gle was grating yesterday" said
Max. Il saw him from the height
above. He was at work on the lone
apple tree
"That is the only work he has done
He goes up there often, but usually to
sit and brood. You know that is where
he left the peddler or the peddler left
him when he went away. I wish IA
Their wouldn't go there. The neighbors
see him sitting Under the apple tree
and think he is drawn to the place
where they say he killed his victim"
"What fruit did he graft on the
tree?'
"A branch from the red apple tree
over there"

west, were appointed by the federal
court today.
The liabilities are placed at one
million, four hundred thousands dol
lars and the assets at more than two
millions. The receivers stated that
the company was solvent and business
would be continued without inter

The court action was taken follow
ing the filing of bill in equity by

notes of FIVE thousand each. The pc
