Refused Notice." every editor has
received them, says an exchange.
The postmaster sends them to the
editor. For instance there was q
man by the name Of, we'll say John
Jones. who refused to take his paper
out of the postoffice. He didn't
want 1t any longer. We understand
what was the matter. Upon investi.
cation Of our subscription book. we
found John short $50. He stopped
his paper as matter Of economy to
US. A few evenings ago we stepped
into church and Johns melodious
voice rang out loud and clear In the
soul-stirring song, Jesus Paid It ALL"
We might have been mistaken, but
his earnestness impressed US. The
next day we sent him a receipt In
full, begging his pardon for not
knowing he had made an assign
ment Of his liabilities to the Lord.

Cause and Source Of Race Prejudice.
When the colored people were slaves
to the whites they met with little or
no opposition from them except in the
matter Of Expressing them beyond
their physical strength at manual Ia
Dor. But since the day they became
free there has been no end Of opposi-
don to their progress. This. however.
n only a sign that the race possesses
the necessary elements which charac-
terize the thrifty citizens Of any other
race. And. again. this opposition does
not come from all the white people.
but only from such AZ harbor race
prejudice.
Doors Which No Enemy Can Shut.
There are many hindrances in the
pathway Of the aspiring colored man,

industrial avenues We have q field for
our highest activities. No one can pre-
vent the blacklist man from living a
clean life. No one can rob us of the

sweetness Of lofty ideals

japanese Tao.

This makes an amusing variation on
the old game of tag. When a player
II tagged he must place his left hand
on the spot tagged and keep 1t there
until he has caught some other victim.
The game works out In this way: The
one who is it, endeavors to tag
runner on the knee or foot. so that his
efforts to tag any one with bis hand
on this part of the body will be awk-
ward and amusing.

UNLIMITED LAWLEssNEss.

The sentiment Of the American
public knows no bounds. They chose
any time or place to perform any
ceremonies which may appeal to
their fads or fancies. The
lynching Of Negroes by white men
Is prevalent. yet the lynching Of
white men by white men has proven
that this lawlessness is not born Of
prejudice alone, but out Of q custom
practiced by these public execu-
toners. who disregard the written
laws Of the land and hold justice as q
mockery.

Farmer Game.


For this game all pretend to be farm
ers. The players are divided into two
equal sides. One of the sides goes of
at a distance to determine upon what
fruit or vegetable to bring to town
and how to show the manner in which
it was raised. Then the acting side
marches in q line to the guessing side,
which says. "Who are your The acting
side announces Farmers" What do
you sell?'' Products from our farm"
How did you raise themy' This way"
And the acting side goes through some
motion agreed upon which shows how
the potatoes were dug or put into bags.
II corn is chosen the planting may be
shown. or the cutting. the shocking or
the husking. When fruits are chosen
the players may pretend to be plant
ing. pruning. picking or packing.
As soon as the guessing side guesses
the product the acting side runs, for
the players on the other side try to
capture as many actors as possible. II
the product is not guessed, but is given
up. the acting side chooses another
product and has another turn at act
ing. The object of the game is not
only to guess the product, but to cap
ture farmers. The first side capturing
half of the farmers of the other side
wins the game. If the game starts out
with eight players on each side, the
side which grows to have twelve play
ers first wins the game.

bad enough to be stung on the nose,
