JUDGE SUSTAINED HIM.

To be called redheaded is sufficient
provocation to. start fight, if the
manner of the person using the
name is manifestly unfriendly, ac-
cording to a decision handed down
by Police Judge Pollard.
This important ruling was made
in the case Of Bert E. Manley vs..
Solomon Wsisman and Jerome
Weisman. Manley did not deny the
patent physical fact that his hair is
red. He admitted that if one of his
friends slapped him on the back and
affectionately said: ''Hello, you red
head !" he would not be angry.
He testified it was different when
the Weismm brothers called him
that.-St. louis Post-Dispatch.

THE GENESIS OF O. X.

AS TO slang-you know, Of course,
the meaning of o. X, one of the
many expressions of perfection. And
you probably have been brought up
in the belief that the initials orig
mated with an illiterate man who
marked his business accounts o. X.
as meaning "0ll Korect." Bat a
Chicago paper has found another
and an American origin. During
the Civil war o. Kenkall & Sons
started manufacturing a very popu-
lar brand of army biscuits that were
preferred TO bread. As they were
stamped with the firms initials

He first wore the shoes on Sum-
days only, and even reckoning that
he had worn them on Sunday only
for the entire 23 years he would have
worn them every day for three years
and 1O1 days. The shoes were orig
inally of the side elastic type, but a
short time ago Mr.. Emerson had
them made into laced shoes.-Skow-

J. B. YEATS STUDY IN BOYS
In ireland They Like Them Bright and
Send the Dull Ones to Eng
land.

To Harper's Weekly J. B. Yeats
contributes a delightful article upon
the Irish boy, contrasted with the
Englishman's son. "The overwhelm-
ing majority of Irish families are
poor. ambitious and intellectual,
writes this author, 'tand all have
the national habit, once indigenous
in Merry England of much con-
versation. In modern England they
like a dull man and so they like a
dull boy. We like bright men and
bright boys. When there is a dull
boy we send him to England and put
him into business where he may sink
or swim, and he generally swims I;
but bright boy is different story.
Quickly he becomes the family conf
dant, learning all about the family
necessities; with so much frank con-
versation it cannot be otherwise. He
knows every detail in the school bills
and what it viii cost to put him
through the university as
he grows older he watches, like an
expert, the younger brothers coming
on and is eager to advise in his
young wisdom as to their prospects"

BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT.

A Socialist Woman's club in In
dianapolis recently denounced the
boy scout idea as one Of the aids to
ideas of militarism that are in favor
with certain persons. Evidently the
club has not looked very seriously
into the subject, as the boy scout has
other things to do besides bearing
arms. He is pledged to maintain the
good order Of the country and to
take the greatest pride in his own
part Of it. Moreover, in matters OF
personal import he is taught to keep
himself clean and honest that he
may be a good citizen.

Remarks Of Stephen Crane and Ford
MADDOX Hucffer About Steven
son and Rosetti.

Ford MADDOX Hueffer, whose
'Glemories and Impressions" deals
with poets, painters and musicians
from the time of Morris and Ruskin
almost down to the present hour,
likes to tell Of an irreverent remark
he once heard the late Stephen
Crane make about Robert Louis Ste
venson. 81 remember" says Mr..
Hueffer, ''hearing him, with his
wonderful eyes flashing and his
extreme vigor and intonation,
comment upon a sentence he
was reading. The sentence was
With interjected finger he de-
layed the motion of the time
piece Crane exclaimed: by Godi
poor dearl That man put back the
clock of English fiction fifty years."
In his book, however, Mr.. Hueffer
says that in his opinion "the art Of
writing in English received the
numbing blow of the sandbag when
Rosetti at the age of eighteen wrote
The Blessed Damozel' From that
time forward the idea has been m
herent in the mind of the English
writer that writing was a matter Of
digging for obsolete words. "-Har-

BISHOP ISAAC LANE, D. D., LII. D.,
Second Episcopal District G. M. e.
Church


There is no man in all of the South.
land who is better known and more
highly respected by both races than
the venerable Bishop Isaac Lane,
D. D., LII. D., of the G. M. e. Church.
AS thinker, gospel preacher, d lead
err of men and man of God, he has
only a few equals in ali the country.
His rigid honesty, his exemplary life
and his wise counsel have endeared
him to the people of all denomina-
tons, irrespective of races. His
founding of Lane College alone, an
institution that represents an outlay
of more than $S5,0O0 would mako
his name illustrious and give him a
place among the great men of the
church and of the nation. Although
seventy years of age, he is actively
engaged in the work of his church,
performing all of the duties of bish-
op. He is easily the first citizen OF
his city.

The Negroes own much valuable
