SHAME. .~ .
Seven years have passed since the
bloody massacre of innocent Afro
Americans at Atlanta, Georgia, and
we reprint Du Bots famous "a Litany
of Atlanta" that the race may not for
get the awful days when Colored men,
women and children were, shot down
like dogs becalse of their race. Not
a single person who was killed had
been guilty of any crime whatever.
The massacre was caused by the in
cendiary editorials of the Atlanta
News andj3s Journal, owned by Hoke
Smith, since Governor of Georgia and
now United States senator from that
state. -; r..
In his gubernatorial canvass Smith
also made incendiary speeches incit-

disfranchised. This has since been
done by legislative enactment.

gone when he died. John Dog
gett, known to many of the older
Kansans as a merchant. prince OF
the West, built up a great BUSH
ness at Kansas City through his
genius and industry. Business
reverses and unfortunate invest
ments left him, at his death,
with nothing but his life insur'
ance. Charles Counselman, Chi
cago multimillionaire, rated at
one fine as worth from three to
five millions, died with his for
tune shrunk to $50, 900, and when
the taxes, court costs, personal
debts and the expense of winding
ND his estate were paid, his
widow received $50. And so the
list might be extended, and gives

Would it be worth the addition
of two and a half or three per
cent paid in interest to know
that if person died during the
life of a mortgage, it would be
cancelled2 That is one way OF
looking at life insurance. Sup
pose the mortgage were for ST.
600 on which the rate of interest
was s per cent. The interest per
year would amount to $12O, and
at the end of the period the prin-
cipal would be payable. OF
course the average man will
meet his mortgage, or perhaps
renew it, if he lives. But SUP
pose he does not live. Would it
be worth while to pay eight and
one half or nine per cent upon
the assurance that in the event
of death the mortgage would be
cancelled2 Could you find a
mortgage company that would
add that provision for the addi'
tional interest payment? 1t isn't
likely, flor the mortgage COM
pauy is not in the life insurance
business. But the additional
three per cent, paid to a life in
surance company, will buy a pol

HAD SOME WAY TO TRAVEL
Thirsty Man Had Not Thought Of Pos
sIbIIitlcs When He Made Con-
tract With Guide.

After North Carolina voted to be q
dry state its citizens became very sus-
picious of strangers.
One day a commercial traveller went
up to an old negro in little town in
the eastern part of the state and said
to him:
Say, uncle, If you will lead me to
some}place where / can get drink
I'll give you s2."
The old darky looked him carefully
over, accepted the two plunks, and
said: "All right, boss, Just foller me" !"
He led the thirsty one through the
town, on through the suburbs, into the
country, and then started due west.
After they had traversed about five
miles in silence and still nothing in
sight, the man asked:
Look here, Nose! Where are we
going after this drink"

CHEAPEST IN The LONG RUN
Housekeeper viii Find That tho
Purchase Of the Best cretonne 10
Only Sensible Plan.

In buying chintz, or cretonne as this
material Is usually called over here,
1t is wisest to select the best quality
and patterns, for cheap cretonne soon
stretches and fades and the colors are
apt to be crude. Chairs, couches and,
sofa pillows should be covered with
the same pattern, and one or two at
most sofa pillows in plain color In
cluded in the cretonne pattern, will
focus the color interest of the room.
Instead of taking down the winter
portieres of tapestry or plush, ere
tonne curtains In the form of long
bags may be slipped over the winter
hangings and sewed together firmly
at the top. Table covers of cretonne
should be lined with plain colored sa-
teen and finished around the edge with
a narrow, colored gimp which comes
for that purpose.
Not every housekeeper realizes the
possibilities of chiptz In the summer
home, or in the city house which must
be made cool and comfortable during
the hot months. A magical metamor-
phosis may be wrought in living room
and bedroom, furnished In the winter
with rich, yet heavy tapestries and
velvets, II all these hangings and COW
erings are packed away in the cedar
chest up garrett, or wherever such
things are stored, and fresh, dainty
chintz substituted.
Every English drawing-room is
swathed in chintz with the beginning
Of warm weather; and the bright COW
ers combined with the fresh cut
| flowers that are fetish with English
housekeepers, make an English draw
ing-room most delightful and rest

HAD PREMoNITroN OF DEATH
New Jersey Mans Fear OF Coming
Disaster Laughed at by Comrades,
but II Was Verified.


John Hueselmans, superintendent
of lumber yard in Harrison, N. j.,
started home after day of intense
worry through fear of impending dis
aster. His premonition caused several
of the workmen' to deride him. John
Bissell of Newark led in the scoffing.
AS Hueselmans was passing a 40
foot-high pile of heavy timbers Bissell,
who was at work on top, uttered a
warning cry and leaped to the ground.
As he did SO the great bulk Of lumber
swayed and toppled over. Hueselmans
was buried beneath the mass and was
instantly killed. Bissell, by his leap,
avoided the crumbling pile and landed
just beyond the timbers. The fall.
however, resulted in his receiving nu.
merous fractures and he was removed
in critical condition to St. Michael's
hospital.
A crowded trolley car was passing
the lumber yard at the time. The pas
eengers, many of them workmen on
their way home, rushed to the spot
and began moving the timbers. II was
half an hour before Hueselmans'
mangled body was extricated.

CROP CONDITIONS IN
WESTERN CANADA
ARE THE MOST PROMISING FOR
MANY YEARS.

The deepest interest Is attached to
the condition of the grain crops in
Western Canada, especially among
the thousands in the United States
who are financially interested in lands
in that country. This interest is fully
as great among those who have
friends there following farming and
the growing of grain.
The reports from Canadian govern
ment officials convey the information
that the area under crop this year in
the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta will probably be no
greater than that of last year. Last
fall the weather was such that there
was not as much fall plowing as had
been hoped for. The getting ready Of
land this spring made a considerable
portion Of the grain late in seeding.
Notwithstanding this, wheat, oats,
barley and fax we're got in in good
shape, although from week to ten
days later. than last year. On the
9th Of June the reports regarding
crop conditions generally in Western
Canada were: Abundant sunshine
with timely and copious rain through.
out Western Canada gives every as
surance Of generous harvest. Climatic
conditions in recent weeks have been
absolutely ideal. Western correspon
dents agree in predicting every indi
cation Of bumper crop under favor
able conditions. Wheat should be
headed out in Manitoba between July
10th and 18th, and in Saskatchewan
and Alberta from 18th to 18th. The
oat crop is looking we'll, although late
and rather short in straw"
This is followed by report July
5th: Crop conditions continue il
same satisfactory condition as last
week. Plenteous rains have fallen al
over prairie provinces, followed by
general warm and splendid growing
weather. Experts agree sufficient
moisture for many weeks, while croI
is ten to fifteen days late, prospects
are extremely favorable and condi
tional upon reasonable weather fol
| next four weeks. Splendid western
crop is assured"
There is, therefore, the best reason
to anticipate most magnificent crop.
