THEIR SINGING HARD LABOR
People of Star Island, Says Celia
Thsxter, Grind Out Sounds With
Tremendous Exertion.

Among people Of average musical
ability there is less singing than there
used TO be. Nearly everybody enjoys
singing, and there was a time when
nearly everybody was expected. on oc-
casion, to sing. But from different
causes-a more exacting standard. the
rivalry of the phonograph, and other
reasons-amateur singers are fewer
than they were. It is matter for re-
greet from one point of view, and from
another for rejoicing.
In a recently published letter, Celia
Thaxter tells how some of the Star
Island folks. during her long residence
at the Isles of Shoals, used to sing.
Their singing" she declared, was
truly astonishing. indeed, | might say,
cxcruciating They go at 1t precisely
as If they were saving wood, and
grind out the sounds with such exer-
ton that their faces become crimson
and the persplration stands in beads
on their foreheads. Youths Compan-
ion.

BLUFF AMONG THE NEGROES
Little Story of Quarrel That Illus
trates Their Love Of Flourish
and Poses.

Love Of bluff Is curious charac-
teristic of the negro. Sometimes the
deadly razor becomes active with
vengeance, but countless other times
1t Is merely fiourished with frightful
threats and boastIngs of its slashing
qualities. These are vanity poses.
One night recently saw striking
living picture Of this kind was
one Of a crowd which got on an early
morning elevated train. A negro
quarrel was in progress in front Of a
house on the opposite side Of the
street and all stopped to watch it..
One husky black was about to apply
an axe to the Uranium of smaller
negro. when an ally Of the lesser one
threatened the husky individual with
blackjack from behind. Thus 1t
stood-if the axe fell on one skull
the blackjack would descend on an
other Neither participant seemed
willing to start anything" There
was the tableau and 1t simply died
away like moving picture climax
on the screen.
Evidently this scene of inactton
overtaxed the patience Of the dusky
spectators, for they broke the lull by
tossing beer bottles at one another.
This, too was without ginger. Just
as | stepped behind telegraph pole
to avoid the flying glass, an excited
old darkey appeared at the door and
fired shotgun over the heads of the
disputants.
A peaceful citizen next to me was
taken to the hospital and ! limped
home with bird shot in my legs. The
old mans bluff was effective and the
careful blacks dispersed, seeking their
beds to dream Of focks of chickens
and trainloads OF watermelons.

that the law treated it as a capital
crime. The offender was buried at
the cross roads, with a stake driven
through his body. and all his goods

crown, to the utter ruin Of his family.
Hankford made good use of his
wits and succeeded in accomplishing
his purpose without incurring either

instructions to his gamekeeper, who
had been troubled with poachers in
the deer preserve, to challenge all
trespassers In the future and to shoot
