and a reception was given in his hon
or by the society in view Of the fact
that he is to return to Berlin in Jan
gary to complete his studies.
Mr.. Locke's subject was The Negro
and a Race Tradition" He spoke In
part as follows:
A historical society stands primarily as
the expression OF a practical duty toward
q corporate past, and a Negro historical
society stands therefore for an avowed
duty toward a racial past. The Negro has
special duties and specific problems with
regard TO his past: but, however SPECIFIC
and special these duties and problems
are, the duties and problems OF any peo-
ple In their acquisition OF historical mind
edness in the establishment Of a tradition.
Although the American Negro faces what
all thoughtful observers must admit TO be
a historical dilemma, he can avoid II II

IL instead of 4 miles of Road.

1t is quite probable that the Hannegan
road will be improved its entire length
from Lynden to Bellingham instead Of
only the four miles at the Bellingham
end as was at. first proposed. The coun-
ty commissioners held a meeting yes
terday at which several property own
ers along the r0ad were present and it
appeared to be the general opinion that
the entire route should be improved.
The total cost of the road will be In
the neighborhood of $3s.OoO and under
the present road law the county pays
one-t third. the township one-thlrd. and
property holders for two miles back on
each side OF the road the other third.

MADE HER FAMOUS AS WIT
Distressing Mistake Of the Absent
Minded Woman al the Reception
Established Reputation.

A woman who has been schooling
herself to be less forgetful tried the
rule Of repetition as an aid to her
ever-increasing observation-disclosures.
Sometimes her method worked very
we'll. Then again it did not. One
afternoon recently she went to a re-
ception. There may have been some
interesting persons at that reception,
but she found bores to the right of
her, faddists to the left O; her and
common, everyday fools behind her
and in front of her. She did her
best to be amused and to amuse, but
that reception was a horror. and
when the heat, the crowd, the babble
and the Emusic" became no longer
bearable the abscnt-minded one got
up to leave.
E'Now I mustn't forget to make
proper adieu to the hostess, and tell
her | have had a delightful time
delightful time-delightful time"
she repeated it with conscientious
persistence as she sought out the
lady of the house.
'Goodby, dear Mrs. Punkle," she
said with an engaging smile and
warm handshake. II have had such
q perfectly HORRIBLE time!"
For one annihilating moment
there was silence then all those who
we're within earshot burst out into a
delighted laugh-the mcrriest sort
of a laugh. The hostess looked
pleased and proud. And from that
moment forth the absent-minded
woman's reputation was established
as wit.

HEDGEHoGs ARE GOOD EATING.

Despite British food prejudices
there are shops in London where
snails and frogs can be bought, but
apparently hedgehogs are never on
sale here. Yet, properly treated,
they form a delicious dish. Accord
ing to Mr.. Harwood Briefly, "I'he
hedgehog may be stewed or spitch-
cooked, toasted OF roasted, but the
best way is to bake it in clay. As
the clay is removed, it brings also the
adhering spines and all the skin,
leaving luxurious little joint COM
plete, with sufficient rich juice. and
emitting an appetizing reminder of
anything from hare to young pork.

flesh is nowise inferior to sucking
pig or a spring chicken, the flavor
being even more delicate than the
SAVIOR. Personally, we think that the
proper salad to cat with it is water.

EVIL GLARE OF BLACKBOARD
Or. John Nicely Rhoads Says 1t Should
Be DETECTED From Eyes
Of Children.

At a recent gathering of medical
men DR.. John Nicely Rhoads OF
Philadelphia said that children, and
everyone else for that matter, should
learn to avoid glare, no matter what
its source. In order to prevent the
glare that came from the reflection
of light from the blackboard into
the eyes Of the children the base Of
the board should be pulled away
from the wall so as to defect the
light upward. Children, he said,
should never be required to copy
script from the blackboard, because,
in order for a child 40 feet away to-
see them, the letters would have to
have lines quarter of an inch.
thick. To be in proportion the let
ters would then have to be five or
six inches high. Besides, such copy
ing made constant strain upon the
accommodation.
The copybook evil he considered
just trife less serious than the
blackboard evil. There was a glare
from the white page, and the writ
ing Of the child became less and less
good as he wrote further and further
away from the copy. The copies
should be inserted in carrier on
ruler that could be moved down the
page in such manner as to cover
the last line Of writing. Every child
should also be taught to write and
cipher without the use of his eyes.
This would enable him to do good
part Of his work without looking at
it, and thus avoid a considerable part
of the strain upon his sight.

NEW PLANET IS LOST.

! The astronomical world has found
and lost new planet and now the
observatories Of the world are train
ing their telescopes on the heavens in
the hope of again locating the
strange little traveller. The new
planet OF asteroid, as astronomers
call it, was discovered by Palisa of
Vienna, and his discovery confirmed
by Pecula of Copenhagen. Accord
ing to the best calculations the PLAN

vanced so rapidly toward the earth
that it has distanced observation and

GOING "A-eooDING."

Going "a-gooding" or "a-mump-
ing" on December RI (St. Thomas
day. is still practiced by women and
boys in many districts. The idea is
to collect money or eatables for
Christmas festivity, and sprigs of
evergreen are left at houses where
gift is received. This last custom
is thought to be derived from pagan
times, having been the practice of
the Druids to send their young dis
ciples round from home to home
with sprigs of mistletoe or holly as a
peace offering before the great winter
festival.
