GLENWOOD'S MIXED PRESERVES
 AND PICKLES.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: i Good morning to all. It has been a long time since I visited the Corner, but I have been very busy interest ed reader all the same. Some delightful new writers have appeared during the time and the let ters of the old friends Ruth tsReadv " M. Roena.'' Sweet Lavender" Fay Verna,'' and Billie have been inter- esting and helpful as ever. I am going to tell -au of a little experience I had recently which I sincerely hope none of the sisters can duplicate.
 The season has been busy one. with . having company and all the other things which 80 to make up a busy i fome-keepers' life.
 The last can of fruit was sealed and put away. and l confess it was with Ihpride that I surveyed the rows of Ilcans-berries, pears, peaches, quinces. |ksWeet corn. string beans. etc. and in sfancy l even took q little peek into lrt6ae future and, imagined how good they If1ould taste when the cold snowy weather of winter was here, and fresh fruit all gone But alasi that it- tie taste had in imagination was all l shslll have. for one night soon after, husband and l were suddenly awaken eG by tremendous crash. It i Ia asted but an instant, and we could not, tell from whence it came Investi-
 
 the cellar which held about half of the fruit of which I had been so proud had given way under it's weight and my fruit lay on the bottom of the cellar, a sorry combination of broke en glass, pickles. preserves and all the good things-lost
 could have cried, but realized it was no use to cry over spilled pre- serves Neither could l blame any one. for we all supposed that shelf woul,7 hold all we could put upon it. TwoA facts were brought out by the accident First that a shelf holdine forty or fifty quarts of canned fruit is bea.ring a greater burden that we are aIE to realize (until too late) Second, that this shelf was put UT about 1a'teen years ago, instead ol six or .Aven. AS l might have said ! had anyune asked me. Time flies SC much fasaser than we realize al times (You sea Ma. we too, are past the bT oiier s,kage)
 I have related this experience that other sisbe1s may make sure that their trea a lres are not in danger of 3 like, fate. You see the old saying rroyed trna Pride goeth before , fall"

 Dear Nat: Now. don't try to make us think you're Nathaniel. Nat is short for-weI, you know.

The sisters are always ready to respond to all calls for recipes and no doubt they will soon reply. I could tell you how to make chicken salad without chick en. but you say, "You have no use for fIunlnery puffs and fluffs at your house.
 We all know Jane Ann is a fine cook and equal to any emergency. If the sisters fail, you call on Jane Ann, as I am sure she will make the de- sired pie. and send the sisters her rec ipe.

In the beautiful month of June our niece. graduated from high school. It was a great event, as you will see. Months before the dress was planned, dinner was given to the sorority, and the whole house was in f1utter, getting ready for the great day.
 Of course, Pa and I had an invita- tion some time in advance. We also were informed that she expected loads of presents.
 I told her I didn't know graduates received presents. They didn't the last day of school when l was young.
 We used to dress up, and the teach CT sometimes gave us a. little picture. said.
 Of course. uncle and I want to give you little keepsake.
 told Pa we must go to town to buy one. He said better take niece along. then she can suit her own taste. I thought we would do better to go alone; but as Pa was to pay for it, l consented.
 We'll, one day we three started to buy the presents-a ring from Pa and I. Grandma gave me 50 cents to buy nice handkerchief. and Grandpa gave me 50 cents to buy a niece pair of stockings.
 I told Pa he had better take enough money, even if he didn't spend it all. He thought the same. so he took $l4. w lllClSd l9lhlIlIlcf dtltl dION S to town. Our niece directed US to the most classy jewelry store. On going in I told the clerk I wanted a ring. Of course, he wanted to know what style.
 Pa said: Show us some of those ed and remarked that all ladies were chaste) Same as I gave Ma, and had engraved inside: The rose is sed, The violet blue, No knife can cut Our love in two. "Oh, Pal" exclaimed Elizabeth. I forgot to tell you her name before. Elizabeth spied a tray of diamonds. After trying several she found one that suited her. The clerk said it was a pretty little ring, and the stone only weighed three quarters Of karat. Pa said he would like to sell few carrots like that. Pa turned pale when told the price, and said he guessed we would have to wait till next time, as he didn't bring quite change enough The obliging clerk said: Charge it. MT. Smith," So it was charged, and Elizabeth was delighted with our Tit tie present" Pa said it Was getting warm and that we had better be getting alone towards home in time to do the chores.
 Elizabeth said if he had any chicken feed left he could give it to her. Evi- dently Elizabeth wasn't quite ready to go home yet, for she said
 FAuntie, you haven't bought the handkerchief yet
 She directed us to a dry goods store. AS we were near the counter I heard one clerk say to another something about an old hen. I turned to Pa and said:
 T wonder if she knows me?'' He replied: T guess likely. You trade here considerable"
 Elizabeth said: 'Oh. they know, you, all right
 I called for nice black ladies' stock ings. Elizabeth said: Yes, nice black ladies stockings for a nice white lady"
 They all began to laugh except Pa and I.
 Niece is 8 real jolly girl and every where we went she had all the clerks laughing. I do love to see young

Old man Joe Cannon, according
to newspaper dispatch the 9th

opportunities and that the South
will be allowed to carry out its
policy towards him in the future
without interference from out

his brothers should not make so
vile a weapon of the ballot as to
use it, the very first chance, to
strike down the white friends,

1t all depends upon whose OK
is being gored. In the Demo-
cratic primary of 1907 Tevis
Wilkerson raised a great hue
and cry because Negroes partic-
ipated in that primary.
In 1911 Tevis Wilkerson re-
ceived the nomination as City
Treasurer under the log cabin
and the Negro was much in evil
dence.
Now, by what process of rea-
soning or logic is it wrong that
a Negro, protesting to be a DEM
ocrat, votes in a Democratic
primary, and right and proper
to vote, claiming to be a Repub-
lican, in a Republican conYen=
ton?
There is nothing in the law
enfranchising the Negro which
limits him in the exercise OF that
right to Republican conventions
only.
have no doubt that the Ne
gro vote was controlled, more or
less, in the Democratic primary
of 1907. But was it not con-
trolled also in the Republican
convention of 1907? And where
is the difference.
Now, those who condemned
the action of the Democratic
party in 1907 and who have
since affiliated with the RepuEli-
can party-presumably on that
account-have not even whim-
pered any protest because of the
Negroes participation in the Re
publican opera house conven-
ton.
1t ought to be self-evident,
therefore, that-because of his
lack of self-dependness-i it is
wrong to let the Negro vote at
a Democratic primary it is
equally wrong to let him vote at
a Republican convention.
Just as long as the Negro
and | am speaking of the lower
strata, not the educated and in
telligent class-as long as the
Negro can not realize, be i'm
pressed with, or be made to COM
prehend the sacredness of the
franchise given him, just that
long will the Negro either sell
bis vote or be influenced by de-
signing politicians.
1t the Negroes were hCGestly
divided on questions of political
economy and could be relied up ]
on they would have as much |
right to vote in a Democratic
primary as in a Republican con- /
