MIR. JOSEPH HOLT GAINES.

MIR. JOSEPH HOLT GAINES.
In 1904 when Mr.. William Seymour
Edwards contested the denomination
of Mr. JOS. Holt Gaines for Congress-
man from this district The Advocate
espoused the cause Of Mr.. Edwards.
Our opposition at that time was based

At that time there was before the
election committee, Of which Mr..
Gaines was a prominent member.
contest between colored Republican
and a white Democrat for a seat in
the lower house of congress. The ev
idence submitted during the hearing
showed conclusiUly that ballot
box sthffing and intimidation were
openly engaged in by the successful
candidate, and even then the Negro
had won on the face of the returns.
yet the house elections committee,
th' H"llo9 NOtluS III the dulllldllNe,
decided against the Negro.
Il We concurred with those that held
that Mr.. Gaines was a brilliant man
and destined to rank among the fore

sentatiYes. but it appeared to us as
being emincntly fitting to support an

A PRAYER

with fear lest the sand of life will
long. unselfiSh life Of endeavor for
the Negro uplift.
1t is no eXaggeration to say that
no other man, living or dead. has done
so much as DR.. Bracket to lift the load
OF ignorance from the shoulders OF
the black man of the Shenandoah
valley. Before the clouds of the civil
war had cleared away; almost stimuli
tancously with the disarmament of the
shattered hosts Of the Confederacy.
DR.. Bracket and his faithful wife,
i'll continuation Of his line of work
with the Christian Commission with
SheridanS army, started string of
schools for the education of the freed
men. In 1867, he organized Storer
college, which alone during twenty
five years was the only institution
within the state offering TO the Negro
branches higher than those in the
public schools
Who can estimate the influence ex-
erted during these years by DR.. Brack-
EFT in the forming of lives and the
moulding of the characters of the
hundreds of young Negro men and
young Negro women who came under
his care? Who can compute the worth
Of the lives inspired to useful en-.
deavor by his teachings?
Whoever they are, and wherever
they are, with one accord, as the

PRETTY LEGEND ABOUT CORN
Truly Poetic Fancy That 10 chron-
icled In Tales Told by lro-
quoIs Indians.

There is a beautiful Seneca story Of
the origin of corn in Canfleld's
Legends of the Iroquois." as follows:
Long and earnestly a young brave
wooed a beautiful maiden and at last
gained her consent to live in his wig
wan. Fearing that she might be sto,
len by one Of her many admirers he
slept by night in the forest that he
might be near to protect her. One
night he was awakened by a light
footstep and, starting up. saw his
loved one stealing out Of her lodge
as a sleep walker. He pursued her.
but as II fleeing in her dreams from q
danger that threatened her life, she
ran from him like feet-footed hare.
On and on he pursued and finally
drew so near that he could hear her
quick breath and the rapid beating Of
her heart. With all his remaining
strength the lover sprang forward and
clasped the maiden's form to his
breast. What was not his grief and
establishment when he found that his
arms clasped not the maiden he loved,
but strange plant the like of which
he had never seen before. The maiden
had awakened just as her lover over
took her. and frightened at her sur
roundings, she was transformed. She
had raised her arms Just as her lover
caught her and her uplifted hands
were changed to ears OF corn and
where her fingers caught her hair the
maize bears beautiful silken threads. -

JAPANESE TEST OF MADNESS
How II Was Applied by Order Of the
Court In the Case Of a Con-
vlcted Murderer.

Recently at the Tokyo appeal court,
before Judge Miyamoto. a farmer
named Gisef Haseba, 26 years old, COM
victed of numbering his parents-in-law
and severely injuring his wife at Osato-
gori, Saitama prefecture, in 1908, ap-
pealed from the judgment OF the
Urawa local court, where he was sem
fenced to penal servitude for life.
Since April last year, during the
public trial Of the accused, he has not
uttered a single word. This attitude
led the Judge and the public prosecu-
tor to conclude that he feigned mad.
oess as the last resort, hoping to
get released. He was medically ex-
amined by DR.. kure and DR.. Miyake,
and In this examination DR.. Miyake
adopted singular method.
There Is a belief that the blood of a
venomous snake is soluble with that
Of an ordinary man, but not with that
of a madman. The doctor applied this
principle to the examination of the
suspected lunatic, and sure enough
the blood of the venomous snake did
not dissolve in the blood Of the ac-
cused. Thus the doctor concluded
that he was really mad.
The other doctor also gave evidence
about the lunacy OF the defendant.
The Judge ordered that the trial
should be postponed until the az
cused vas recovered from his abuoA
NAL coaditions.-Japan Advertiser.

Apparel.

A man ought in his clothes to con-
form something to those that he con-
verses with, to the custom of the ma
ton, and the fashion that is decent
and general to the occasion. and his
own condition; for that is best that
best suits with ones calling. and the
rank we live in. And seeing all men

hooves a man to barter for q good es-

TYPES GIRLS LIKE
QUESTION As TO WHICH NATION.
ALIrY MAKES BEST LOVERS.
Over In England They Think the Eng
IIshman 10 Supreme, and Two
American Women Have Sided
With Them.

For long It has been supposed that
Englishmen do not make good lovers.
1T is said they are too plain, straight
forward and downright. They lack, 1t
has been suggested, the finnesse and
skill of foreign men in wooing.
| But the statement Of Mrs. Gertrude
Atherton, the famous American nov
elist, that II she married again she
would marry an Englishman for choice,
since he Is far the most interesting
type, raises the question anew.
| Inquiries go to show that. In the
opinion of some people at any rate.
not only is the Englishman better
lover than the American man, but
better even than the Frenchman. the
Spaniard or the Austrian.
| Mrs. Atherton added that as her pro-
fession made her habits and homo un-
stable, she did not intend to marry
anybody.
But she was sure that men Of other
than English nationality. and Ameri-
can men especially. lacked the sub
tlety Of the well-bred Englishman. his
finesse and his charm of conversation
and manner.
| Another English author, who asked
that her identity might> not be dis
closed, as she did not wish to quarrel
with American friends, spoke even
more definitely.
! when do you ever hear Of English
girls marrying Americans?" she asked.
There Is q good reason for this.
! However wealthy their parents, the
majority of the boys in rich American
homes grow up to be drawing-room
hooligans, while their sisters are de-
veloping all the refinement and more
than the style and intelligence of Euro
pean women Of corresponding social
position.
These young money-grubbers of the
states enter a ladies' drawing-room
looking like furniture removers. They
have no graces. no conversation. They
are on lower social plane than their
own sisters.
= "And for this reason, perhaps, they
have no power to compel the respect
OF women. All true women feel the
need of master. or. as an American
would would say. boss
II believe that every really good
woman wants to look upon man as
literally her lord and master. But, Of
course, she wants to feel that the man
is her superior in all that matters.
American women do not find that sort
Of man among her own countrymen."
Mrs Elizabeth York Miller, who Is
herself an American, and has only
lived in England for two years. ad-
mitted that the American husband is
not so companionable as the English
husband.
But Americans were very unselflsh.
They were more generous with their
money than Englishmen and allowed
their wives more freedom.
"As a lover l think the American is
sincere, II blunt" she continued. HE
says to a girl: Now. look here, love
you. You are the incest girl I've ever
met Let's get hitched right now
From a sentimental point of view
this is not idyllic. but 1t is straight
forward.
THE Englishman Is attractive to the
American girl because he is SO difrer-
ent from the men she has known. She
can't be 'pally' with him, and 1t takes
some time to understand him.-Lon-
