CONSTANCY


Who is the honest man?
He that doth still and strongly good pur-
sue,
To God. his neighbor, and himself most
true;
Whom neither forces nor fawning can
Unpin, or wrench from giving all their
due.
Whose honesty Is not
So loose or easy, that battling wind
Can blow away, or glittering look it blind;
Who rides his sure and even trot,
While the world now rides by, now lags
behind.
Who, when great trials come,
Nor seeks, nor shuns them; but doth
calmly stay,
Till he the thing and the example weigh;
All being brought into sum,
What place or person calls for, he doth
pay.
Whom none can work or WOO,
To use in anything a trick or sleight;
For above all things he abhors deceit;
His words and works and fashion, too,
All Of a piece, and all are clear and
straight.
Who never melts or thaws
At close temptations; when the day IL
done.
His goodness sets not, but in dark can
run;
The sun to others writeth laws,
And is their virtue; virtue is his sun.
Who, when he is to treat b
with sick folks, women, those whom pas
sions sway.
Allows for that, and keeps his constant
way:
Whom others faults do not defeat
But those men fail him, vet his part
doth play
Whom nothing can procure,
When the wide world runs bias. from his
will
To writhe his limbs. and shore. not
mend, the Ill.
/ This is the marksman safe and sure,
Who still is right. and prays to BE- -
still. y

A SONG.


Waiting for the Autumn,
Clothed In rudy gold,
Crisping leaves a-flutter,
Mists upon the void;
Purple tints of sadness
Brooding Ger the fields.
Summers crown of glory,
Faded splendor yields.
Waiting for the Autumn,
Dreamer of the year;
Wreathed in pensive beauty
Doth her face appear;
Seems her eyes are gazing
Ger the hills away,
HAPPY. where Old Winter
Comes with tresses gray.

Another Abernethy Case

1T is not very generally known, but
in almost every alley in this city where
the negroes live there is a small king.
dom said Judge H. B. Abernethy.
THE kingdom, if we may use the term
is surrounded with the most rigid laws
and woe betide the one guilty of any
infraction. A short time ago a revolu-
ton occurred and the queen was led into
this court for trial. The court attendants
included the grand keeper of the sacred
wigs, the keeper of the royal snuff box,
master of the games and high adviser to
the queen.
THE facts in the case were sworn to
by the revolutionary party and the royal
lists 1t seems that the reigning queen
had sent out some manifesto to the effect
that certain subject was banished from
the alley and she must vacate. The sub
ject disregarded all laws of loyalty and
rebelled. The rebellious person attacked
the authority of the reigning sovereign
and l was called upon to decide between
them.
1.-The charge was exceptionally frivo-
lous and court hearing was certainly
uncalled for. However, after hearing all
the facts I favored the reigning queen
and the banished subject was compelled
then to vacate. This is literally true
of almost every alley in this city. The
negro woman who is reigning by might
of will is sometimes attacked and then
warrant is secured, which calls flor
the arrests. In the trial above mentioned
the ruling was made by the court that
all wig wearers and dope takers would
not be permitted to testify. The queen
consulted few moments and those who
wore wigs went outside, discarded their
headgear and came in ready to give their
side of the case

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
The Templar Triennials


Chicago is spending 100000 to en-
terrain the Knights Femplar this week
on the occasion of the thirty first tri-
ennial conclave of the grand encamp-
ment of the United States" said one of
the Birmingham stay-at-Eomes. The
entertainment includes street decora-
lions. OF the half million dollars raised
for the festivities about s250O00 was
subscribed by Chicago sir knights and
the other s250,o00 was made up by con-
trfbutions from the banks hotels, mer-
chants and railroads.
The big parade will take place
Tuesday and it promises to be beau
tiful sight. 1t is expected that $4,000
plumed knights will be in line. Among
the distinguished visiting templars is
the Earl of Euston, grand master of
the order in England. His lordship at
tended the trienniSl conclave in San
Francisco in 1904. He is one of the
most ardent Masons in England and
those who met him while he was In
this country six years ago were
charmed with his personality. He is
heir to the Duke of Grafton-aged
about 90-who distinguished himself in
the Cimean war. The Earl of Euston
Is a very talf man, being considerably
over six feet.
"Reverting to the triennial conclave
remember when it was held in st.
Louis in 1858. That was the first time
that large crowd attended and when
the parade was a feature. In 1855 the
grand encampment met in Columbus,
O.. city at that time of about 10000
population. Nowadays only the very
large cities with extensive hotel ac
commodations are considered in con-
nection with the triennial. The grand
encampment met in Louisville in 1901,
but tents had to be used to shelter the
visitors. and that scheme was not
agreeable on account of the mosquitoes.
Birmingham will be a candidate for tbs
triennia1 in about q years from now.
By that time this city will have a pop
ulation of 400, 900 to 100000. and four or
five times the hotel accommodations 1T
has today. In 1915 the grand encamp
ment of the United States will cele-
brate its one -hundredth anniversary
and the city that has the triennial
that year will be expected to do great
things in a gala way. The grand en-
campment was organized in New York
city in 1916 and several of the tri-
ennials were held in that city, but
none since the war

RACE WAR AMONG
LABORERS FEARED
GREEKS AND ITALIANS ARMING,
FOLLOWING CLASH BETWEEN
HINDus AND WHITES.

Portland. Gre, March 24.-With
Greek and Italian laborers, OF whom
there are $50, armIng themselves eor a
clash, serious trouble is feared at St.
John, suburb, where 100 white men
and 800 Hindus clashed in race riot
late yesterday. 1t appears that the
rioting was directed at white foreign
ers, employed by the lumber mills at
st. John, as well as toward the Hindus,
two of whom were badly injured.
Last night the authorities took into
custody twenty eight men charged with
robbery in connection with the trouble
and they hold warrants for 113 more
of the rioters. These arrests and the
reports that. the company will take
back the Hindus have caused an ex-
ceedingly ugly feeling and threats are
being made to drive out Of town not
only the Hindus, but the Greek and
Italian laborers also.
The trouble started over the Fact that
the Hindus recently took the place of
white crew at the plant and were ac-
cepting about half the rate of wages
which had been paid to the Caucasians.
