moods and he proceeded to relate
the. incident. "We boys" he
said, "were laying behind q
hedge on the road between Fred
eric and Baltimore. A squad of
Yankee cavalry were reconnoiter-
ing and passed that way. They
got into a little scrimmage with
our boys, and just as one of the
Yankees was about to NUT a

Death to the Fly.

F>s"r-
Those that are waging war on
the fies-a. most useful and i'm
portant war-speak of the fly
that Twill not wipe his feet" 1t
is a good rough phrase to attract
attention, but unfortunately the
fly does wipe his feet. He wipes
his feet on the food that you eat,
on the faces and on the lips of
your sleeping children. He is a
frequenter of offal; the female
fly lays her eggs in the manure
piles. The flies in millions settle
on the refuse, the sewage that
washes all along the beach along
the waters edge in great cities.
All the germs, all imaginable
horrible microbes, fasten them
sedves to the spongy feet of the
fly, and the fly brings the germs
in to the house and there wipes
them off his feet. And that does
more to spread typhoid than any
other cause.
How often have you seen the fly
standing on a lump of sugar in
the sugarbowl, industriously shut
fling his front feet! He is wip-
ing off the disease germs, rubbing
them On the sugar that You are 60
ing to eat.
If you have doors or windows
without screens, in the city or in
the country, put the fly screens in
now, and keep the flies out.
4 The fly is the great spreader of
disease, one of the greatest enc
mics of humanity, and one of the
most dangerous. Many people
put in their fly screens early in
the spring, or, if they neglect il
then, they let the neglect con
tinue, waiting for the next spring
AS a matter of fact, the fly
screens that keep out the danger.
Gus insects, and the disease germs
that these insects wipe from THEN
feet on your food, are most impor.
tant. now, in the early year.
Fortunately, the disease germs
themselves do not fly. They could
pass through the screen as eaily
as through an open doorway. They
reach your children only when
larger insects bring them ard
spread Them.
Keep out the bigger insects, the
flies, the mosquitoes, and you keep
out the invisible, deadly enemies.
The important work of human.
ity in the future will be fighting
not the big, monstrous animals, as
in the past, but the little enemies
and especially, the invisible enc
mics. Men must kill off their small
enemies-the rats, that spread the
bubonic plague and other disease
the flies, the mosquitoes-theJ
are the relatively big enemies
And, after fighting them, they
; must fight the microscopic, invisi
bic germs, more dangerous still.
Keep out the flies, keep out thu
mosquitoes. Put up your fly
screens now, if you haven't then
up already. 1t is very simple t.
close up every door with a wir,
screen that shuts itself with
! spring, and to shut out the in
sects with screen on the windows
There is more health in a hOus
we'll screened against insects thai

as to whether we should go to
church or not. We knew we had
to go. In those days we rode, and
proud was the boy who had a
good riding horse, even if it was
a colt just being broken to the sad
die. We did our gossiping, of
course, and liked to get there a
little early, so as to have an oppori
tun1ty for this, Sometimes we COS
slped with our own sex. but al
ways keeping an eye open for the
opposite sex. 1T was pleasant
sometimes to walk in the grave
yard and figure out the inscrip-
tlons on the old tombstones, gen
orally upright slabs of white a
BILE, but sometimes a broad slab
some six or seven feet long and
four feet wide, that covered the
graves of some Of the ancient pa
triarchs, 1t was a good thing to
ride to church, pleasant to ride
back, and the intermission was
enjoyed. Sometimes the sermon
made a deep impression on us ;
sometimes it did not; but it. was
good to go. 1t gave variety, and
we had a fine appetite after we
got home.
Now, we don't know of any
thing of equal value, that the far
mers can purchase for the price to
the social advantages of the coun-
try church. 1t gives him a place
to 60 on the Sabbath. 1t gets him
out of his particular rut. 1t en-.
ables him quietly to take notice OF
what farmers have good crops and
which do not. He is enabled tc
make the acquaintance of the best
people in the neighborhood. Hi;
children have the benefit of the
Sabbath school. In short, it make:
him a better man.
We IRE not now speaking of any
| particular church or denomina
ton; but we know of no church
; that will not be glad to welcomt
anyone who lies in the neighbor
! hood. We hope our readers who
) have not been accustomed to at
: tending church, because their owl
denomination had no church il
the eighborhood, or because they
! do not belong to any denomina
ton, will try going to church OF
Sabbath, taking wife and child
rem with them. Whether they
ever become members or not, they
? will be better men for doing this
} and in so doing they will helI
pave the way for the regeneration
:, of life.in the open country, some
l thing very greatly needed in mos
| communities at the present time.

When hens pass their second

also when they are crowded, hav-

When 1t was announced in Paris that
fashion leaders had sanctioned the re-
vival of sashes every girl who had an
heirloom In the shape Of an old EN-.
broidered sash congratulated herself
but, alas, while we are to have sashes
1t is with a difference" The new
sashes fasten snugly around the waist
while the sash ends fall in all sorts
Of elaborate bows and folds. Some
sashes are cut with double streamers
like the one In the picture, which is
Of lowered ribbon and lace fringed
with silk tassels.
The new sash Is quite as intricate
as the jabot and needs the same train
ed hand to give It the proper finish
Sash and girdle arrangements are Of
many kinds. Big bows and long. wide
scarf ends Of black malines appear on
some of the light hued models. The
new velvet with taffeta back in color
Is effectively used for sash effects, a
wide end In two loops lying fat, one
over the other but of different lengths,
being popular method of using the
velvet ribbon or satin. This gives
much the effect Of the detached skirt
panel and breaks the tight skirt line in
the back without introducing any odd
fancy.

Ing that to be successful he must be
ready for advancement when the first
opportunity presented itself, he ap-
piled himself to telegraphy and was
In line for an appointment as tele-
graph operator. The chief clerk un-
der whom he worked urged him to
take up stenography, as there was a
great demand for male stenographers
In the service, and he mastered this
study and was promptly given a re-
munerative position for which his
knowledge Of telegraphy, shorthand
and the general routine work Of the
Office qualified him. After continuing
In that position for several years he
was appointed stenographer o. the le-
gal department. Here he saw large
opportunities for advancement and de-
termined to work his way to the head
of the clerical force If possible. Find
ing that the position Of chief clerk Of
the department demanded the quail
fications of an attorney with practical
knowledge Of the law, he entered the
evening class of the st. Paul College
Of Law in 1901 and graduated from
that institution in 1904 and in due
course was advanced to the position
Of chief clerk. Mr. Francis is held
in high esteem by the officials Of the
road.
In 1905 he ran as Republican candi-
date for the assembly and received
nearly 10000 votes, which was indeed
splendid showing, considering the
scarcity Of Negro voters In st. Paul.
Mr.. Francis is also the attorney for
the various Afro-American corpora
tons Of st. Paul Besides the very
arduous tasks Of his Office, he is also
prominent in religious, political, social
and fraternal circles
His rise from an office boy to the
position of chief clerk In the legal de-
partment Of the Northern Pacific Rail
way company should be an inspiration
to any young man and shows that
strict attention to duty, being ready
when opportunity knocks at the door,
always bring to an individual that for
which he labors.
Traymore Assembly, Reception.
The sixteenth annual reception Of
the Traymore assembly recently held
at Fitzgerald's auditorium. Atlantic
City, N. j., was grand success. Mu-
sic for this special occasion was fur
nished by the Thomas orchestra. Pro-
lessor F. c. o. Brown had charge OF
the social program.
Cause Of Railroad Fireren's Strike.
The promotion Of colored firemen on
the Cincinnati. New Orleans and Tex
as railroad Is said to be responsible
for the recent strike Of white firemen
who seem not to be satisfied unless col
ored men are kept at work on the
freight trains or given employment in
freight yards. Brain knows no color,
nor should the capacity to do skilled
labor or to perform great intellectual
tasks be judged by the color Of per-
sons skin. As long as certain classes
of white workmen spend their energy
in trying to keep the colored man
down so long will there be friction
between the races.
