SOUTHERN PHOSPHATE DEPOSIT

Great interest is manifested through out the whole United States in the de- velOpment of the phosphate deposits in the southern states. II is asserted that many millions of dollars worth of fer tilizcrS have already been extracted frcm tEe nhopshdte rocks of Florida, the Caroinas and Tennessee and that prospecting is proceeding in a number of other states with excellent pros poets of success. In the meantime the agricultural department has been ad- vised that d chemist of New York has perfected a method of doubling the available soluble phosphoric acid of every ton of the rock now in sight and which may hereafter be uncovered. The department expects as a result of the experiments made with this new process that the plant food of the phosphate. rock deposits will be 'Ioub- led in value and that the agricultural intersts of the country will be bene- fitted thereby, because of the conse- quent reduction in price of all ferel- lizers of which the 'component part of chief value" is extracted from these southern deposits.

THE LAGRANGE IDEA

Lagrange is one of more than forty
 ward schools in the busy city of
 Toledo, Ohio. The building Is well
 planned, comparatively new, and sur
 rounded by magnificent elm trees It
 has between six and seven hundred
 pupils, who come from breat va
 riety of homes. Some are of wealthy
 rarentage, many come from the
 thrifty middle class. but many more
 are from poor families, including Sy- rians, Poles and negroes
 Nothing very striking so far is
 there? What has been said might ap- ply to any one of thousand schools ir the United States But Lagrange is different. And 1t is different be- cause Miss Jane BroWnlee discov- cred something, and applied it to her work with her pupils in that ordinary ward school in city of the middle west
 Suppose we let her tell a little of
 the story in her own words Tn 1898 a course in psychology deeply inn pressed me with this truth-thoughts are things. At the time I was teach ing an eighth grade in Lagrange school and was also principal of the building. It occurred to me that a practical application should be made of this truth; that boys and girls should be taught to value their thought power. and to use it in building character.
 From this thought there gradually evolved plan for a series of five minute talks to my own class at the | opening of the morning session. The purpose of these little talks was to | direct the attention of the pupils tC certain truths: that they had the | power to think; that they could use l the power in any way they choose l that no one could think for them any | more than he could eat for them 1 that their thinking made them. and | that therefore their character, the 1 kind of persons they were to be, de- l pended solely upon themselves. They i were led to see that it would be a great help in character building to | take short time alone each day. fl l only three or four monutes, and con- | sciOusly let the mind dwell upon 1 somesome good thought or lofty l ideal"

CUPID EXCEEDS SPEED LIMIT
New Jersey Couple Meet, Woo anc
 Wed in Thirteen Hours.

Treenton. x. J-Cupid exceeded the speed limit for quick marriages when Piscel Balais of Clark street and Miss Rosa Razca of Cass street boarded the train here as perfect strangers and within thirteen hours had ridden to martimony and happiness.
 The young couple had never seen each other until they were introduced at the home of a friend. The youth captivated, was soon riding on air and began his suit immediately. At 10 he popped the question aggress- lively and the maid surrendered, not laying down her arms exactly, but making better use of them.
 At 10:30 Miss Razca had bought her rousseau and Balais his wedding suit both purchases being made in a store where the girl was a salesWo- man.
 When the city hall opened, the couple were waiting to get the license answering the required questions in a few short moments that seemed all too long They then looked up a clergyman and were married half an hour afterWard.

One can readily see that could the negroes organize a political party they would have through this pro- vision a large portion of the repre- sentatives in congress to speak for their race.
 According to the census taken by the United States in 1899 and again in 1907 about 30 per cent of the population is black or mulatto. This is much smaller negro percentage than is usually accredited to the population. but it is sufficiently large to obtain about one third of the con gressmen did not the Norma law stand in the way. The negroes. them selves, insist that they form q larger proportion of the population, and that they make up S5 per cent of the armies which in the past have fought for the freedom of Cuba

SPARROW FIRES THREE HOUSES
Building Nest, Picks Up Burning
 String from Trash Pile

LAWREN CEBURG, Ind, August II. An English sparrow was the cause of three houses catching fire today and had it not been for the prompt work of neighbOrs and friends the buildings would have been destroyed
 The sparrow was building nest un- der the caves of the house of Mrs. Mary Webber and it picked up a long cotton string from a pile of rubbish that just had been burned. With the burning string in its beak the bird flew to the roof of Mrs. Sophia Schae- fer's house, then on to McCreights home. and then to the roof of Manuel Vests residence, where it dropped it's blazing burden. A fire started in the shingles of each building, but each was extinguished.

SENATOR nEWLANDs]


WASHINGTON. Aug. 11.-Senator Newlands of Nevada takes a position with respect to the negro question more advanced than any of his col leagues yet have taken. He comes out for a white mans government and an amendment to the constitu- tion that will withdraw the voting franchise from negroes yet to be born. The blacks had a right to be made free men," he says. but did they have the right to be made SOW ereigns? And was not their sudden transformation from slaves to sover egns the greatest cruelty that could be inflicted upon them. as well as upon the whites? Freedom was a right; suffrage was a privilege. The former was beneficial the latter prej judicial While securing and strength ening the former. why not withdraw the latter. avoiding even the appear ance of injustice by applying it only to those hereafter born?'

LOVES DANCE.

Love came dancing through the
 world,
 And my heart was glad: Love she came and danced with me when the world was said Danced and kissed me on the lips Till mX blood ran mad And forgotten vas the world, Gold and ruby's shine; Folly came and to our lips Pressed her ruby wine. And | laughed, and danced we on: Youth and love were mine. Wise ones sought to lure me back Wise ones gray and old Showed me Wisdom and Renown, And the glint of gold; But they. could not hear the tale Love to me had told. What cares Love for great renown, Gold or rubies fine? Beggars they who cling to these, Leaving Love for mine; Holding to their breast but dross While I drink Loves wine!
