The problem involved is. of course, a

One feels certain Of finding behind this
amazing display Of human efficiency
not only a human thinking machine,
but a big natured. big hearted human

Of this man m the thing he has Gre

In General Armstrong the mar was

That the black maj and woman must

and Immediately began to put his ideas
to the test.
In 1868 he opened a little school with
two white teachers n fifteen negro
pupils in an old deserted barrack room
just beyond Hampton. The score of
years that followed is a marvellous
record of a struggle by a great man
against almost in~conceivably heavy
odds. Prejudice. open hostility based
upon ignorance by both black and
white, poverty N the mistakes OF in
experience only acted as spurs for
eventual success. Gradually the stu

The agitation looking to the estab-
lishment Of Labor day as a legal holi-
day then began, and 1t bore fruit first
in 1887 in Colorado. although the first
Labor day bill was introduced in the
New York legislature. Labor day is
now a legal holiday in all the states OF
the Union and In the District of Co
lumbia and Alaska. In Louisiana 1t is
observed only in Orleans parish. in
which the city Of New Orleans is sit
uated, and in Wyoming a special proc
lamation Of the governor is necessary
to make the day q legal holiday.

He proved as much recently when
he extended the glad hand OF welcome
to his fellow members Of the Ancient
and Honorable Artillery Company Of
Boston who visited London. The king
was glad to see the BoStoniaas, and he
told them so. He was SO glad. IN fact.
that he posed for a photograph sur
rounded by his visitors.
There's q unique thing about the pic
ture reproduced herewith which the
reader may not notice unless his at
tention is called to 1T. There's an
American flag in the picture, held by
the second man from the kings right.
But there's no British ensign to be
seen. Let the eagle scream!
Here's what the king told the roam
ing Bostonians:
II am particularly pleased to wei
come the representatives OF the old
Massachusetts regiment. and ! hope
they will derive much pleasure from
their stay" Then he made some more

erected on the site formerly occupied
by Robert Keane, a member of the
