The colt will burrow in the stack, and the festive colt will arch his back and gambol at fearful gait to make his ichor cir culate. The bear will slumber in his bed and dream that Roose- welt is dead, and the Winter night will worry through with the wolf ki-yi-ing down the fue
 The wind will push against the door, and our old friend Bo- reas will roar and fill the Winter night and fell with samples of his college yell. The price of eggs will feel imbued to beat the mark for altitude, and butter will ca vort around about two miles above the ground.
 O happy man that has his hold stocked up against the Winters cold, and has no urgent need to reck how many storms may sweep his deck. Who has h1s scuppers bulging kraut and all things shipshape in and out, and all the products of his cline right at the ort-holes all the time.

 It Is the place, and no mistake, for raising provender to bake, and giving freely of the least es. sential to a Christmas feast A bug or SO is on the job, and the weatner frequently plays hob,, but on the hole and in the sum we're dog-gone happy that we come
 As many things have bust be- fore, and bingo! on the parlor floor will go the Christmas odds and ends with which his catch email distends. The costly pres ents and the rare, and while we all grab here and there for each his share of it the mirth of Santa Claus will fill the earth. <
 Those merry peals which rouse the dead will wake the echoes overhead, and laughter favored with reproot reverberate around the roof. He never meant we should pervert the day with hanging up a shirt, nor. ever thought, by any chance, of filling Rockefeller's pants.
 A sockfu1 each is all there is, and wee to him who takes for his a greater portion, hook or crook, than each originally took. For every person that descends to tying pants around the ends, and closing shirts around the base there is reckoning to face.
 The laws of Santa Claus are good, and in the end are what we would desire they were-that is to say that this is everybody's day. A single sock above the fire is all body should require, and there before the glowing log nobody keen to be the hog.
 In such a spirit was it said that all days are to get ahead except this one, which was de signed for everyone to get be- hind. The merry holidays will come, and Santa, sliding on his tum, will belly buster to the grate, and do his best at any rate.

II. Boyd, D. D. LID, Secretary Ma
ticlal Baptist Publishing Board with
Rev. W. S. Ellington, E. A., D. D.,
Associate Editor.
The book for 1910 embraces the
usual far-seeing helps for the Sunday
school workers. Both editor and as,
sociate editor have made it what can
not be claimed for other cCmmenta-
ries. strictly orthodox and purely bap-
tistic. The splendid feature is that
each lesson has both the authorized
and revised texts. It. is suggestive
illustrative and fully comprehensive
The commentary contains the les
sons and motto texts for 1911, which
really puts the book twelve months in
advance. All of the work done on
this periodical is by Afro-Americans
who are now past masters in their pro,
fessions.

the country and since the civil wa1
have added other billions to the ma.
tional wealth.
The majority Of these people are
loyal, peaceahle, law-abiding men and
women, yet they are wronged and op
pressed in the land of their BIRTH
In twelve states of the Union, in
which the government is a travesty
on democracy, Afro-Americans are
subject to discriminating laws, thei,
civil and political rights are disre
garded and their lives are never safe
from the fury of the mob.
The little Jewish. girl ought to be
grateful that she has left Russia
where her race is oppressed, to live in
America, where foreigners have their
rights protected. The Jew, despised
and maltreated in Russia, can conc
to America and send his children to
the genera! public schools, while the
Afro-American in many parts OF the
country must have his children enter
jimcrow schools or grow up in ignor.
ance.
The most ignorant and degraded
foreigner who comes to this country
has decided advantage over Afro
American citizens.

"DlXlE."

Since one of the government music
men has raised a terrible storm bv
prononncing "DiXie" the most popu.
lar national song, it seems meet for
THE APPEAL to say its SAY about
the NATTER; and that say is that in its
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 tn wish they We're 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
<Tisten to the Mocking Bird''-orig
1nate0 IN the same way, and the mu
stefan who wrote it off made no Sc
cret CT the matter, but admitted ina;
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
ogniticn. and hopes that in process
of time some American genius will
arise to compose fer us song that
will rank with ."La Marseillaise,'
Die Wacht Am Rhein" and the Rus
sian National Hymn.
We need something solemn. digni
fed and impressive.

VERDICT FOE AFRo-AMER!cAN.

VERDICT FOR AFRO-AMER!cAN.
Mrs. Agnes Carver Brent, an Afro
American woman, has been awarded
a verdict for $3.50 damages against the
Great Falls & 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 Vir:
giDia; 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. fol
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. 81
1t was a great outrage and Mrs
Brent ought to have gotten the $40,
0CO she sued for. 1t is, however. re-
markable that she was awarded $75G
as the usual award in jim crow cases
in the District is one cent and costs

LIBERTY IN AMERICA.

During the graduating exercises in

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 symtolized to her
freedom and safety for the refugee,
an end to oppression and the right to
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-

This is said to be done by way CT

made by certain Northern Grand

Now just why the ro-American
