Bio Irritation Celebration.

Denver.-The opening of the Nile
and Antero projects was celebrated
here. The Nile is complete and is
now serving $4,000 of the richest
acres in Colorado with its life-giving
waters. The Antero has its first unit
completed and water was turned on
5000 of it's best acres.
The Colorado statesman., 1913-06-21

An obligation rests upon the Ne
groes of this country to subscribe for
and advertise in their race newspa-
pers. With white newspapers refrain
ing as much as possible from pub
fishing news about and concerning
Negroes, except when they have bit
of sensational news that may further
tncite growing race prejudice, it be-
comes a bonded duty to support race
Newspapers. With the loyal support
of Negroes of this community, the
Bee, already power, can be made
vastly more powerful in conserving
race interests" The above is truth
to which none should become indiffer-
ent Secause it has been so often ut
tered. The Negro newspaper is a
brave thing. Even the weaker mem
bers of the tribe do good servcie to
the race by improving and rectifying
distorted public opinion about us.
The newspapers of other men do not
feel this obligation and they do COM
paratively little along this line. Hear
ye! Hear ye! Hear ye! Oh, ye mis-
represented people, help your Negro
newspapers with something which can
be handed in at the window of the re-
ceiving teller down at the bank. They
are silently, but potentially helping to
fight your battles. Supply them with
ammunition.

There are SO many attractive things
in the way of bathing paraphernalia
this season that even those who do
not expect to go in swimming might
be tempted to add natatory outfit
to their summer wardrobe. Fashion
writer's have done justice to the new
harem bathing suit, but the acces-
sories may not be so familiar. The
half handkerchief bathing caps of
plaid silk rubber have the ends lined
with contrasting color to match the
collar of the bathing suit or the stock
ings. Another new rubber cap has
a band finished with a becoming frfll
and fastened with buckle and bow.
Beach capes of rubber lined satin
are novelties of the season, and small
bags which fasten securely are con-
venient for holding the little things
of the toilet. Most attractive bathing
shoes come to match the suits, In
blues, green's, reds, browns and polka
dots. These have rubber or canvas
soles and tops of waterproof satin or
sateen.

AFRO-AMER|CAN CULL|NCS

The colored population of this couI
try has records of generations of patri-
otic loyalty. There were colored sol.
diers in the Revolutionary war who
fought bravely at the battle of Brandy
wine and took part in other engage
ments. In every war in which the
American nation has been engaged col
ored men have fought bravely and
there are few, If any, records of col
ored traitors. The colored women are
loyal in their reverence for those OF
their race who have accomplished
work for some worthy cause. Their.
records of those who at sacrifice to
themselves have helped others to rise
is long one. Few will be longer re-
membered than Harriet Tubman
Davis, who died last month in the
Home for Aged Negroes, which she
had founded in New York. Harriet
was called "The Moses of the Ne
groes" because having run away her
self from the brutality of an overseer,
she made no less than 19 trips back
to the south to lead other negroes into
freedom. A price of $4,000 was final
ly put upon her head, but this did not
deter her. and her native cunning en-
abled her to lead large parties of
slaves to freedom. During the Civil
war she was faithful army nurse and
also performed valuable services as a
spy and scout so that she was honored
by the highest officers in the Union
army. Elizabeth Wright, Mrs. E. c.
Bethuna and Lucy Lane are others
names reverenced by the educated col
ored women for the work they have
done to help their own race.

DR.. Booker T. Washington has an
article in The Independent on "Solv-
ing the Negro Problem in Detail" He
says he receives many letters, books
and pamphlets 'in which someone has
tried to formulate a solution of the
race question" The difficulty, he says,
with most of the solutions is that they
start out with the notion that the
Negro problem is fixed quantity,
always and everywhere the same, like
a problem in arithmetic, to be solved
once and for ALL" How, then? He
says:
The trouble In this case is that,
like other human problems, the race
problem is one in which the terms are
not fixed and cannot, therefore, be
brought into the shape of hard and
fast formula" What, then? He says:
81 have long ago given up the notion
of solving the race problem wholesale.
1t seems to be rather that 1t can only
be solved in detail" He is, therefore,
interested in the progress of the indi-
vidual Negro quite as much as in the
progress of the"-race as a whole.

Pete Gerhardt the Adelina Patti
farewell performer of the Olympic
club, is going to do another Gomez
back on the running track. The old
warhorse announced his retirement on
his return from Stockholm last year,
but the lure OF the spiked shoe has
been too much for him and he has
entered the Portela championship
meet which is TO be run off next Sat
urday at the stadium track.
Gerhardt has been training faith
July in secret for the last month and
mas got TO such a stage that he really
thinks he has a chance to cop the
place in both the century and the
furlong sprint. He is not satisfied
with thinking he has a chance to
place, but says he Is going TO break
the tape first.
AT that, however, if all athletes
were painted with the same brush as
Pete Gerhardt the sport would be
ideal There is not man of greater
enthusiasm on the track in any part
or the country. He goes into the
game for the love of 1t, and is
probably one of the Oldest living
sprlnters- He has a son who has
already started hts athletic career.

CHAPTER XIV.
Dawn.


A small house had been erected
near the Crystal Lake. 1t had two
rooms and kitchen, that was all; but
it had been pleasantly and we'll fur
nished with everything a lone woman
might want. When Napoleon assisted
Rositta from the aerodromone he led
her into the pleasant living-room She
followed him obediently, as if in a
trance, seating herself in the chair
indicated without a word
This is your future home, Rositta,' -
he said, simply.
She did not reply, but sat looking
out the window, at the clear lake and
the steep mountain sides that over
Swallowed the little valley forbidding-
". a strange fire shone in her eyes.
She stood up slowly and cautiously
and stepped to the window. She
looked out at the beautiful green To-
liage and the blooming flowers for a
long time, and Napoleon did not dis
turb her. Her actions commanded re-
spect.
A smile appeared on her face, a
smile that reminded Napoleon of his
own mother: it expressed nlothe-

love, the most holy of all.
"See-see how green the grass is,
How blue the sky is! How mild the
air, and the water of the Lago di Mag
giore IS as smooth as a mirror" She
beckoned to Napoleon. Just look at
that sweet little girl, see how she runs
on the shore-she rs after a butter
fly. Don't you see her, man! Don't
you see herr" She gasped these last
words hoarsely and grasped Napole-
onis arm. a nameless terror had his
noble soul in its grip.
Answer me, do you see herr" She
began to sob. "Ah, don't say no-say
you see her. She is my own little girl.
She is good and not like her mother.
She is good, l say! She must be good
to be happy" She sobbed wildly.
Turning to Napoleon she screamed:
Speak! Oh, speak to me, or l shall
go mad entirely"
He took her hands in his and in a
mild voice said: "Rositta, be quiet;
you don't know what you are saying"
She pushed him away. A wild look
came into her eyes.
You fend! You have killed me.
and I'll kill you now!" Her hand
slipped into her bosom and a short
gilt Venetian dagger glistened bright
ly. She darted forward blindly and
just missed Napoleon. Her dagger
struck the wall fiercely. The blade
broke and fell with a sharp clink TO
the floor. The next moment she faint
ed in Napoleon's arms.
He carried her to the sofa and

For two long hours her soul trav-

there is neither time nor distance
When she opened her eyes again she
was not the same youthful, vivacious
ROsitta- She had become old
She did not speak for a long time,
and Napoleon had the patience to
await her pleasure, notwithstanding
his neglected duties at Washington.
AT last she sat up and said weakly:

"My Son, Thou Shalt Be a Citizen Of a
Happier and More Peaceful Age"

Napoleon Edison, you have won. You
are strong; l am weak. The Queen
ROSETTA is dead. The only one 1 ever
truly loved, my little daughter, is
dead, and now l can mourn the rest
of my life. You may go, Napoleon.

goland-that kiss given as alms-is

offered her hand. please go; there
are many awaiting you. I want to
rest in this solitude"
Napoleon took her hand. "Good-by.
Should you need me, there is a special
signal arrangement in the other room;
use it." He left, and she watched his
form disappear in the dark night The
man she had once feared, loved and
hated was gone, and, it was strange,
but she found all these conflicting
! emotions gone as well.
That was the last ever heard of the
once-famous Princess \Schomburg-
Lithow, the ambitious Queen of the
Air.
En- route to Washington Napoleon
talked with his men on Ciryne.
Whistler told him that his instruc-
tons had been carried out to the let
ter and Sullivan told of the success
| full capture of the four aerodromones
from the west.
1t was ten o'clock in the morning
when he sighted the capital, and Con-
gress was in session.
The newspapers had already de-
| scribed the battle between the Eagle
and the Princess and the capture of the
whole aerodromone f1otilla. Whistler
had reported to the proper authorities,
but no one knew what had become of
| the Princess ROSETTA.
Loud shouts filed the chamber when
| Napoleon came in. Representatives
| left their chairs and, lifting him up,
| carried him on their shoulders to his
chair. He stood there a moment and
| the enthusiastic audience became
| silent.
| Gentlemen! Representatives of the
United Republics Of America.
Il have to tell you that the dangers
surrounding US, caused by the design
ing and ambitious Princess Won
| Schomburg-Lithow, are dissipated for
ever. Her feet of aerodromones is in
my possession and will be disposed OF
as you see fit.
This act of force, committed by me
alone, was done in the interest of
| peace, according to the twelfth chap
| ter Of the international peace pactum,
that holds the president of the peace
committee responsible for peace be
| tween nations.
''The manufacturing Of aerodro-
mones is my exclusive privilege for
