most famous and best living example
of our Africa's sons, and Sec
ondly, because, like him, |,
too, have my heart centered mainly
in the education of my race Therein
methinks lies the shortest and best
way to their mental, moral, material,
social and political betterment.
Throughout ten long. firing years and
up to the present moment | have sac
rificed all my time. all my strength
and all my means upon this altar of
my peoples supremest need-the need
of enlightenment, of knowledge, of un-
derstanding, of refinement of manners
and refinement of mind. And If for
the nonce l am ready to respond to
my compatriot's call to serve them in
the more urgent, and withal more per
ilous sphere of political activity,
shall on that account by no means les
sen my educational and editorial ef-
forts on their behalf. On the contrary
l cherish hope that my more honored
position in the Native Commonwealth
and my wider contact with the native
world, may rather tend to make those
efforts still more extensive and ef-
fective.
All the same, while believe that in
education my race will find its great
est earthly blessing, | am forced TO
avow that, at this present juncture of
the reformation of the South African
commonwealth, 1t has a still more
pressing need-the need of political
vigilance and guidance, of political
emancipation and rights.
This native congress, then-if may
venture to speak as its appointed
uthpiece-representi as 1t does.
the whole body of educated nativedom
throughout South Africa, respectfully
tenders the government its submis-
sion and its support, and prays that
the government may in return honor
it with its confidence and grant our
lawful requests their due considera-
tion.
The policy which l am convinced
will prove at once the surest, safest
and quickest (and the policy which
hope our society will ever follow Is
one of deep and dutiful respect for the
rulers whom God has placed over us;
policy of hopeful reliance in that
sense of common justice and love OF
freedom so innate in the British char
acter, that these will ultimately trf-
umph over all other baser tendencies
to color prejudice and class tyranny
| feel assured that, If we approach
this inherently religious and magnani-
nous British people in a respectful
and reasonable manner, they will not
refuse us a hearing, and will not re-
fuse us our rights. Indeed they 1t
is who have taught us to seek and to
strive; we follow but their own ex-
ample. Whatever political rights the
British citizen now enjoys, he has
won only at the cost ct centuries of
constant struggle; and surely he will
not think i'll of us if we, now humbly
follow in his footsteps.
But while we wage our little war. 1t
shall always and only he along the
constitutional way of peaceful endeav-
or and patient pegging away. An
honest, manly fight every Britisher
admires We propose to put one up;
and by Gods help we shall win.

ertheless he did not seem inclined to
speak
Mr.. Gryce motioned Sweetwater from
the room. With woeful look the young
detective withdrew, his last glance cast
at the cutter still lying in full view on
the table.
Mr.. Gryce. not unmindful himself of
this object. took it up, then laid it down
again, with an air of seeming abstraction
The fathers attention was caught
What is that" he cried, advancing a
step and bestowing more than an ordinary
glance at the object thus brought casu-
ally, as 1t were, to his notice. 81 surely

Mr., Gryce, observing the others emo
ton, motioned him to a chair AS his
visitor sank into it, he remarked with
all the consideration exacted by the sit
uation:
1t is unknown property, Mr. Challoner
But we have some reason to think it be-
longed to your daughter. Are we correct
in this surmise?"
Il have seen 1t, or one like it, often in

and the hand stretched forth to grasp it
quickly drew back. "Where-where was
it found?" he hoarsely demanded 20

earth by sorrow"
Mr.. Gryce FASTENED to give him such
relief as was consistent with the truth
1T was picked up-last night-from the
lobby floor. There is seemingly nothing
to connect it with her death Yet"
The pause was eloquent. Mr. Chauoner
gave the detective an agonized look and
turned white to the lips. Then gradually.
as the silence continued. his head fell
forward and he muttered almost unin-
teligibly:
Il honestly believe her the victim of

Mr.. Gryce moved a little restessly in
his chair and stared hard at the cutter so
conveniently placed under his eve Then

:: Cupid's Understudy
By Beatrice Fantax

a GIRL thinks she is in love with a
n man. She is only in love with
love She has been beguiled by
one of the many understudies of Cupid
She is lonesome with that lonesome
ness of youth, which doesn't under
stand why it is lonely A man appears
who bears her company She dislikes
to be alone. She enjoys his companion
ship. She believes it will be the same
all through life. Therefore, she says,
she loves him.
She loves the theater to which a
young man escorts her. She loves the
little compliments he pays her She
loves the little feeling of superiority to
other girls who boast of no lover She
loves all these, and imagines it is the
man she loves
She applies the same tests to her
feeling for him that she applies to her
liking for chocolate candy She finds he
is just as sweet, just as agreeable, and,
| having acquired the taste for him, is
just as hard to do without.
With these foolish moonbeam tests of
her sentiments. she declares she is mad
ly in love. The word 'madly" is well
advised. For the time being she is in
sane and her insanity takes the form Of
a love sickness that does not originate
in love. but in one of its many dis
guises.
And of all the foolish little maidens
in this foolish little world she is most
to be pltied
When, as a baby. she cried for that
which was not good for her, and cried
more when she got it and found it was
not. there was much sympathy.
Her parents wiped her tears away

From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much b.

The "change of life" is most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by Intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkhan's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. It
lnvigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds I'D
the weakened nervous system.
IT has carried many women safely
through this crisis.
