and then they. hurried back to the
cemetery to fill the violated grave
again. The doctor in their absence lift

in the darkness. they glided off AFTER

TO WORK WITH BEES.

To protect ones self against bees
observe the following rules: Do not
stand in the way of a swarm of bees.
While working with the bees do not
make any sudden motion with your
hands or head, do not twinkle with
your eyes, and perform all your work
so as not to produce any shock. Never
work at the hive when in perspiration,
or during a rain or thunderstorm, for
the bees are then more disposed to
sting. Do not allow your breath to
penetrate the hive. Bees hate the
odor of alcohol. tobacco and similar
things. Never work without using
smoke. but use 1t only moderately.
The beginner will do well in working
at first with a mask, at least with eye
glasses, and always with his head COW
cred, but without gloves. 1t is advis-
able to wash the hands stung, so as
to remove the odor of the poison In
the case of being stung, do not quiver,
but remove the sting quickly by push
ing 1t out with one finger nail By
pulling it out with two fingers the
whole contents of the poison bag are
liable to be pressed into the wound
If the spot can be reached with the
mouth the poison should be sucked
out Never crush a bee, as the odor
thus produced incites the others to
sting The body gets gradually used
to the bee poison.

GRAIN DIET FOR HORSES.

Horses do not absolutely demand a
mixed grain diet Feeding a mixed
Quantity of clover and timothy hay
with corn alone, the animals have
been found to get along just as well
as with mixed grain ration. The corn
fed horses were just as enduring as
those fed oats, and they worked just
as well in the hot weather as when it
was cool.
Work horses should be fed with
feeds that supply energy in capsule
form. The use of corn or oats alone,
without other grains, has been found
desirable. OF the two, corn seems to
be the most palatable. AS regards
economy. ear corn is usually cheaper
per pound than oats. while their feed
ing value seems to be the same.

THIS NEGRO HAD SIX NAMES,
SADLY DISTURBING The COURT

Atlanta, Ga-Six names for one
man who was known equally well by
any one of the six, sadly disturbed the
city court of Atlanta when Gus Hogan
was put on trial for larceny from the
person
On the defendants witness list were
six names.
Call the witnesses, Mr.. Clerk" d.
rected an attorney.
The clerk held up his list.
Sheep Ryan," he called. The cry
was repeated by bailiff.
The door of the court room opened
and small and. extremely ugly darky
appeared, hat in hand. He was decid-
edly slim and on one side of his face
was big scar
All right, go out in the hall until
we need you" the clerk directed when
the negro announced that he was
sheep Ryan. The darky retired
Slim Jackson" cried the clerk.
Again the call was repeated. and the
same negro came through the door.
Here, we don't want you, we want
Slim Jackson. Go out" the bailiff
directed.
The negro grinned
"Ah'se Slim Jackson, too" he de-
clared.
We'll, go on out" he was told.
Skinny Johnson" called the
clerk.
The door opened and the negro with
the scar again appeared.
tp1 t.,
here" the exasperated bailiff said.
'Yo' called nah name, boss" was
the reply.
81 called Skinny Johnson, didn't
call you"
Abs Skinny Johnson, too" the
man of aliases replied
Everyone in the court room was get
ting interested and the clerk called
"'Snake' Williams"
The door opened, this time cautious
ly, and slowly from around the corner
appeared the head of the same negro.
In moment the audience was in a
roar of laughter which lasted for sew
eral minutes.
Il suppose your name is Snake
Williams, too, is it?" the bailiff asked
when the laughter had subsidized
Vas, sub. dat's nah name"
The negro began to slide out the
door when Judge Calhoun called
Look here, boy, have you got any
more names?"
Vas, sur, yo' homo"
The judge turned to the clerk "Mr.
Clerk. in order to save time and this
colored gentleman of the many cogno-
mems the trouble of opening and shut,
ting the door few more times, sup
pose you see if he isn't also the other
witnesses in this case"
rs your name Runt' Collins and
Shorty Green?" the clerk asked. The
audience waited with bated breath.
"Yas, sur. Abs bofe ub dem," the
negro answered.
A few moments later the six wit
nesses. embodied in one short and de.
cidedly skinny negro, were testifying
on the witness stand

SUGGESTION ON DRAINING.

Any kind of land can be drained
There is no trouble in laying tile in
quicksand If one understands. After
the ditch is dug and graded then the
tile should be laid by the operator
backing up, that is, he must not step
on the tile after they are laid, If he
does he will get them out of shape
but If he has the bottom of the ditch
properly graded and then the opera
tor backs up in laying the tile and as
he progresses, fills fine dirt in the bot
tom of the ditch on either side of the
tile. being careful to put about the
same amount on each side, and then
some over the top so as to get this
tile firmly fixed in its bed, then by put
ting on a foot or more of dirt there
will be no difficulty about walking
over the ditch or filling 1t in any way
you please The great trouble is ex-
perienced in not allowing the tile to
settle where they are placed. If the
depth of the outlet is sufficient l think
it would be proper to lay these tile
Just about at the bottom of the muck
where it is deepest, and then where 1t
is only several inches deep the tile
would go lower, but if you get the tile
lust below the muck then they will
work best and drain the land thor
oughly.-Colon C. Lille in Michigan
Farmer.

Equal justice to all in the southern
states will bring about an earthly par
adise between the white and black
man of the south. The negro has
never had a better friend than the
southern white man, neither has he
had more bitter enemy than he, and
this is the question that is puzzling
the world, when they hear rumors of
wars, rumors Of lynch and mob law.
A colored woman was funeralized at
one of the largest colored churches
in this city few weeks ago and a
southern white man, a banker, attend
ed the funeral in company with his
wife and others. He was so much i'm
pressed by the sermon delivered by the
celored clergyman that he inquired of
us his name. In the course of our con-
versation he said that he was very
much impressed with the sermon and
that he was not only glad to attend
the funeral of this colored woman, but
that he would have gladly acted as a
pall-bearer had he been asked to do so,
and he meant every word he said. The
affection and sympathy found in his
bosom for this colored servant Of his,
are found in the bosoms of thousands
of southern white men who would
shed their blood in the defense of the
orderly and upright negro. The ne
groes who know their places and stay
in them, who work honestly and
faithfully and attend to their own
business, are never without friends.
The friction between the black and
white man grows out of the spirit of
equal rights. The white man in his
attempt to destroy the spirit of social
equality between the negro and him
self becomes too passionate and in
stead of waiting on the justice of the
law he resorts to anarchy, mob and
lynch law which breeds and increases
crime among his own race like the
springing up of the gourd vine of Nine
veh. Equal rights and justice to all
men in the courts will destroy mob
and lynch law and rid the country OF
murderers and assassins.
The statistics Of crime show a
steady increase of murders in the
United States and the majority of
them are whites. Why should there
be any among them with all the law
in their own hands, is the question.
We answer, they have misused the
law. Equal rights and justice have no
eyes to see, no color lines to draw
