his own pocket-book in resting his
sole Industrial dependence upon the
negro? And this would be true even
if the negro's industrial value were
much greater than it is.
A fact which Southerners are prone
to overlook, is, that it is not what
they think about the negro, but what
the outside world thinks of him, that
determines his economic relation to
the South. 1t is what the outside
world thinks of the negro, that
causes the better class of immigrants
to shun the South; it is what the out
side world thinks of him that fright
ems away investment of capital and
enterprise from her borders.
And if you want to know how in
telligent Northerners who have been
exposed TO the negro, regard your
attitude in this matter, my Southern
friends, hearken to this story which
was told me by an army officer in
Washington, D. c.: An army officer
living in Louisville, KY, had mar
rled Northern lady, and in course
of time the wife's sister came down
to visit in the old Kentucky home
The wife fell i'll, and the sister-in-
law, brisk little spinster, obligingly
offered to take charge of the house
keeping. The army officer gratefully
consented, while expressing some
misgiVing as to her ability to manage
their colOred servants to whom she
was unaccustomed. ooh yes, re-
sponded the lady from New England,
with her chin in air. Eve always be-
ieved anyone could manage those
poor creatures who would treat them
properly" Her brother in law smiled
quizically and let her go her way. At
the end of the week she came back
to him with the keys and the re-
mark: Here! You can let the nurse
keep the house, and | will look after
Mary. [ don't believe anybody on
earth would put up with negroes but
you Southerners, and you wouldn't
have them if you weren't so sloppy
yourselves!

PEELED by his manhood to interiors

mishandles the fair Lady Gwendolyn.
\ All this is SO true that wise think
ers have always instructed that form
of religious enthusiasm which mani
tests itself in emotional hysteria. The
human spirit, moved deeply and sim
cerely by real things, can easily be-
cheated into the same sort of emo-
tional feeling by unreal things, by
the t1mbre of voice, by the recital
of poem, by moving picture shows,
by mock heroics or balder-dash sem
timent on the stage. The very fact
Of being moved to tears is, in some
sort inexplicable phenomena. Ber-
nard Shaw, that eccentric philoso-
pher, says that to the truly normal
man tears are a sign of happiness as
laughter is a relief from grief.
But without taking so radical a
view as this it may still be admitted
that those most easily moved to tears
are not necessarily the most truly
sympathetic, nor is the man swayed
by his emotions and the prey of his
sentiments necessarily moral because

Emotions and Morals.
New York City.

In spite of a popular and too wide
spread belief to the contrary, there
is mighty little relation between the
emotions and morals. We have heard
recently how a stage performance
was given in a penitentiary in this
State and how the hardened crimi-
naEs'' Wept copiously over the wrongs
OF the virtuOus and waxed righteous
ly indignant over the Vaccinations
of the villain.
Always this has been true; phil
osophers have written essays about it
and poets have sung about it; all the
great novelists have touched upon it.
1t is one of the curiosities of the hui
man mind and it's workings that Ine
rogue who by his thieveries causes
infinite pain without pang of COM
junction finds his heart moved and
his eyes filed with tears at beholding

Easter means.
Easter is the day above all Chris

hold the fullest significance for Chris

1t celebrates the greatest belief OF
mankind the belief In immortality.

No, there is nothing wrong in liking

harm in allowing the clothes inter-

in danger OF doing.
