Philadelphia He spoke in part as
follows: This, the fourteenth meet

1t Is, then, beth timely and fit

place after 80 years of freedom in
this city, where 1877 years ago that i'm
mortal document, the Declaration of
Independence, was issued Whether
the American negro was meant at
that time to be included within the
scope and meaning of the words of
the Declaration of independence has
been "A debatable question. However
that may be decided. we mean as a
race through this and similar organ
izations to make ourselves such a
citizenship that in all the future no
one will dare question our right to be
included In any declaration that re-
lates to any portion of the body poll
tic.
During the 90 years of our freedom
We have been subjected to some pret-
~ severe tests. First, there were not
few who raised the question as
to whether or not the American negro
could survive in IL state or freedom.
We answer that question by showing
that when freedom came to us We
were 100000 in number; now we
have grown to over 100000 free
American citizens"

The march of the Tenth cavalry,
negro regiment, from Ft. Ethan Allen.
VT. to the camp of instruction near
Winchester, Va. has not attracted
much attention, but 1t was fine per
formance. The distance traversed
was 705.90 miles and the route was
through five states and over several
mountain ranges. The start was made
on June l6. and Winchester was reach
ed on July 10. Four days the regiment
rested, and the average days ride was
23 SO miles. The weather was general
ly hot. the maximum temperature be-
ing about 100 degrees on several days.
One horse died Of collie; three, over
come by heat, were shot, and eight
were left on pasture for their own
good The ages of the horses ranged
from five years to twenty-three-it ap-
pears the veteran survived. One hun
dred and thirty-eight pack mules
shared the march. and all trotted into
the instruction camp in good condi
tion.
No hospital returns have been pub
| lished. but the troopers doubtless did
better than the horses. Negro sol

Sunshine, PIants-and Girls.

Sunlight is so important to life that
It is little wonder that sun ~worshipers
prevailed in primitive days. Plant a
potato in your cellar, and If there Is a
little light the potato will sprout and
try to grow. Surround it with the best
fertilizer, water it, and do the best you
can for 1t except that you keep it in the
dark, and it cannot digest and grow.
See how slender and pale it is! The
process of digestion, the great function
Of assimilation, cannot go on without
sunshine. Natures laws are the same
in the animal world. 1t is just as true
that the only girls with red cheeks
and sweet. breaths, the only girls who
become fully ripe and sweet, are those
who baptize themselves fully in glori-
Gus sunshine. The many pale girls who
are to be seen with a bloodless, half
baked sort of face, whose walk, whose
voice and whose whole expression Is
Of spirit, are not half ripe.

WOMEN KNOWN BY JEWELS
Each Article of Adjournment Is OBJ
served and Carefully c~ataIogued
by Society.

A woman frequently changes her
face and always her gown, while to
change her jewels is an event calling
for chronicle, Richard Barry writes in
the New York Times.
rs that Mrs. So-and-So in box -"
I heard one woman ask another the

ooh! That is Mrs. Orioles
brooch, but it doesn't look like her
daughter, only she never will let any
one wear her opals; lucky for her.
unlucky for another is her idea. What
has she done to her face?"
These women, their dependents and
their intimates hold their jewels in
the affectionate regard that another
group of women might hold their chill
dren. The entrance to the circle of
each new piece of jewelry is noted
and commented on carefully. 1t u n
dergoes jealous observation at first.
Then, if deserving it, it achieves a
place and is duly ~catalogued.

After a moment she releases the
glasses with a satisfied smile. "At
any rate" she observes, they are
perfectly matched and just the right

So 1t goes. Jewels the center of at

To some not accustomed to the ex-
elements and responsibilities of
greater freedom our methods may in
some respects and at some points
seem heroic, but remedies may be
heroic and yet be remedies. It is u
business to make sure that they are
genuine remedies. Our object Is clear.
If u motive is above just challenge
and only an occasional error of iudg-
ment is chargeable against US, we
shall be fortunate.
We are called upon to render the
country a great service in more mat
tiers than n Our responsibility
be thorough, as thorough as moderate
and well considered, based upon the
facts as they are, and not worked out
as If we were beginners. We are to
deal with the facts of our own day,
with the facts Of no other, and to
make laws which square with those
facts. 1t is best, indeed it Is neces-
sary, to begin with the tariff. l will
urge nothing upon you now at the
opening of your session which can OBJ
scure that first object or divert our
energies from that clearly defined
duty. At a later time I may take the
liberty of calling your attention to re-
forms which should press close upon
the heels Of the tariff changes, If not
accompany them, of which the chief
is the reform of our banking and cur
rency laws; but just now I refrain.
For the present, l put these matters
on n side and think only of this one
thing-of the changes in our fiscal
system which may best serve to open
once more the free channels of pros
perity to a great people whom we
would serve to the utmost and
throughout both rank and file.

OF Him Who Is the Light of Life.

Christ's entrance into the world was
heralded by heavenly music. On his
return to the city of God, all heaven
resounded with welcome praises and
thanksgivings, as the gates of heaven
swung wide for her King. So may our
songs proclaim our welcome to
the Saviour, as we enjoy the light
of his great Light. We will
not sing of the Light of Asia or the
Light of Philosophy or the Light OF
the Human Intellect, but of him who
said: Let there be light. and there
was light" of him who is the Light
of life and immortality.-Rev. David

As God Sees

One of the great reasons why We
do no understand better Gods deal
Ings with US is because we only see
a very little part of his plans and
at a time. We judge life
in little pieces. instead of n piece.
We must not judge yesterday, or last
year, or this loss or that fall by itself.
They must be put together to make
up one life, one plan, and then We
may see Gods pattern.
But seeing little or much of his
plan for our lives. loving and serving
him, we may be assured hat AL
things" will work together" for our
eternal good.
