be a farmer, pays too high q compli-
ment to the negro boy in that he
seems to argue that the white boy In
order to sustain himself as a farmer
needs education to make him in
ltelligent as to the nature OF the soil,
intelligent as to the best tools with
which to cultivate the soil, but the
NEGRO boy is naturally so intelligent
and skillful that he can become a good
farmer without any education.
I'm the courts OF the state OF Flor
ida, when the negro is brought before
the bar OF justice, charged with the
crime of fighting, the crime of steal
ing, the crime OF murder, the same
law that Furnishes the white man
Furnishes the negro. Since this is true,
the negro should have the same oppor-
tunity in school and Christian insti-
tutions, to prepare himself to meet the
same test before the law that the
white youth has. Every time white
man sits upon jury to try a negro
boy for theft, he should put his hand
upon his head and ask this question:
Has this negro boy had the same
chance to know what the law is; has
he had the same chance to learn how
ito control his appetites that the white
boy has? Reports of last census show
that the negro race has grown from
some twenty more than three hundred
years ago to nearly ten millions now.
So far as human, intelligence can PEN
citrate, it looks like the majority of
this ten million is likely to remain in
the South. 1t looks further as if the
number is going to increase from year
Ito year. No matter what our individual
opinion might be, no matter what our
wishes might be, these people in all
human probability are here to stay.
Living by the side of these ten mill
ions of colored people is a vast num-
Der of white people. Under such cir
cumstances, what IS the duty of the
white race and in the colored race?
Plainly, it is to use his influence in the
direction of promoting everywhere
friendly and rational relations be-
tween the races.
There is no greater enemy to the
Estate today, to the white or black, than
the man who would spend his time and
Ienergy in stirring up racial strife.
There is no greater friend to the state
than the man, whether he be white or
black, who uses his talents and in
!fuence to promote the progress of
both races and to see to it that peace
and good will are maintained. What
has been done in the past is the best
guarantee of what may be done in the
future"

During the few lucid moments OF the

Homan nature yielded gradually to

forgot his predicament in talking to

Then music seemed TO lull bis senses.
and he heard voices which soothcd his

Merry Christmas.
Huh, What's that?"
The gruff voice took some of the
enthusiasm out of the childish treble.
and it faltered somewhat weakly il
repetition:
Merry Christmas, SIR
The big boarded man stared at the
diminutive speaker and for an in
slant the hard drawn lines on the
heavy face threatened to relax, but d
moment later Il SpaSm as of pain shot
across it, and the voice grumbIed:
There isn't any merry Christmas
not in this world, Whoever taught
you such an idea? Huh, Merry
Christmas, l haven't seen one for
forty years. and
The little white drawn face had an
intense appeal to it. but it fell upon
a hard, stony nature. The forty years
of hard life haG dried mp the well
springs OF sympathy, and the grun
miner stumbled away, leaving the boy
a mute witness 20 one Of the tragedies
of life.
4 few minutes later the child turned
and walked in the opposite direction
There were no tears in the wondering
eyes, but the mute face had the hunt
ed sorrow o. . wounded animal. Twice
the little legs halted as if too weak
to carry the slight body. and once the
boy dropped on fallen log and stared
ahead Of him.
1t was unlike any Christmas the
child had ever before experienced
Christmas had always been ushcrcd
in by snow, sleet rain or cold north
winds. but in this strange new land
the flowers were in bloom in the dead
of winter, and northern birds Warblod
and c0oed from nearly every lcafv
bower 1t was hard to realize that
in the PARKWAY northern city the land
was wrapped in the icy embrace Of
the frost king. \ little pang Of dis
appointment crept into his heart, and
uncOnsci0usly he sighed for the Old
familiar scenes

was only one of a long series Of acct

But the piping voice Of the child had

under his breath and kicked viciously
at the loose stones. When he came to
the wrecked sluice he gIarcd at it say

months later.
The corner stone laying was an event
which was long remembered. The parade.
in which the militia and every society Of
the city had place, formed in City. Hall
Park The militia was first reviewed
there by John Young. governor of the
state. With him was the Governor or
Rhode Island and Mayor William v.
Brady of the city. The line Of march
was a long one. going up broadway 10
14th street. Union Square, then through
14th street to I'D avenue and UP that thor
oughfare to the grounds at Goth street.
A. throng on foot and in carriages, FOL
lowed the procession, and it was esti-
mated that 10000 persons took part in the
parade and assembled in the vicinity OF
Hamilton Square.
Gen. Henry Storms, president Of the
monument association, with an escort OF
light cavalry, led the procession: Then
followed the various divisions OF the New
York state militia, commanded. respec-
lively, by Gen. George P. Morris. the
poet, who was also militia brigadier
general; Gen. McEwen, the engineer; Gen.
c. w. Sanford and Gen. Hall
Following them came Capt. Thistle
mounted artillery, consisting of guns on
the backs Of horses, as used in the Mexi-
can campaign, and then came a long line
of civilians, representing every known
political and social society in the city.
Gov. Young, with his guest, the Governor
OF Rhode island; the mayors of New
York and Brooklyn and other guests rode
in carriages.

Square which covered the blocks now
contained between Sd and 9Th avenues,
66th and Goth streets.
That was six years before Central
Park had been outlined. Hamilton
Square was portion of the old common
lands of the city. and in the new city
map prepared in 1907 by the street COM
missioners who laid out the city in its
present rectangular lines this plot was
retained intact as a park. Ii appears on
the maps of the city up to 1859. at which
time il Was wiped out of existence, the
western part being sold and the eastern,
including everything east of Park ave-
enue, being allotted by the city to va
rious institutions, as the Normal Col
lege, the eth Regiment, the New York
Founding Asylum, Mount Sinai and
Hahnemann hospitals, most of which still
occupy large sections of the old square.
The very name of Hamilton Square, as
well as tho towering monument, for
which several thousand dollars was
raised, are among the things which have
passed into history. They have wellnigh
been forgotten. The Washington monu-
ment got as far as the laying of the cor
ner stone. It was big event, calling
forth what was said to have been the
largest and most enthusiastic parade
