No influential Negro. journalist does
the best for himself or his people when
he eXalts a human roulette wheel like
New York and Chicago as the hope Of
the Negro race" He breaches a dan

sake the rich fields, happy homes and
neighborly sympathy to be found in
the South to barely exist amid the
glitter and glare of the Sodoms OF the
North.

The Drought in india.

The Indian climate is as stable as
our own has recently become. Only
on rare occasions does the weather
afford a topic of conversation. But
one of those rare occasions is now
with us. The event dominating In
dian rural life is the monsoon, which,
is expected In June and blows till
September. Should the monsoon fail
the crops perish and famine is upon
the people. This summer the rains
have proved deplorably feeble. There
is still time for the crops to be saved,
and as heavy clouds are generally re-
ported, the situation Is by no means
hopeless But there is grave cause
for anxiety. A shortage of rain Is re-
ported from lat stations, and already
there is serious trouble over prac-
tically the whole OF northwestern In
dia.
One bright feature relieves the gen.
eral blackness OF the position. In the
United Provinces and the Punjab fri.
cation works have partially made up
for the failure OF rain. It happens
that the spring snowfall in the Hi
malayas was exceptionally heavy, so
that there is plenty OF water. It is
certain that the anxiety which has
been felt in the Punjah these last few:
days will develop into demand for
new and more comprehensive irriga-
ton works.-London Globe

this was true.
You think no one could say just
that to his little, brand-new Jenny
wife? Oh, but maybe you never saw
one of those old mems darling affairs
from really close viewpoint!
So James comes home night after
night and eats his good dinner and
goes to bed early. Once Jenny tried
to get him to stay up till nine o'clock
and play casino with her-he declined
to go out. But he was SO sleepy, poor
fellow, that he almost yawned his
head Off.
Her friends say she is entirely
changed. "Just like that husband Of
hers, she is getting" they say. You
see, they are young and disrespectful.
But she has to be. When she asked
her friends to dinner they chatted and
giggled till James came home and
then they sat up straight and said,
Eyes, SIR" and mo, sir" to him. And
when she asked his friends she did
not chatter and giggle at all, but sat
up straight and said Eyes, sir" and
"No, sir" to them.
And then dreadful thing happened.
James yawned in the company's faces
right after dinner! Cough" yawned

Runway for Chicks.

When a large box is used for sum-
mer coop for chicks, after they have
left the broOder or are weaned from
the ken, it should be provided with a
small Enclosed run. This run is made
by mailing a wooden frame to the
open side OF the box and covering 1t
on all sides and the top with closely
woven poultry netting. In such a
coop or colony house tie chicks will
have all the fresh air they need at
night and will be otherwise protected
and cannot escape till they are fed
in the morning.
