PLEADS FOR COLORED
CHILDREN OF SOUTH
Booker T. Washington Asks Christ
mas Tokens, Particularly for
Those of Cotton Regions.

Booker T. Washington is making an
appeal for a Christmas remembrance
for the colored children of the rural
districts of the south, especially in the
cotton region. In letter to The Star
he writes from the Tuskegee Normal
and Industrial Institute. at Tuskegee
Ala, of which he Is the principal, as
follows:
Il know something of how severely
the generosity of people throughout
the country has been taxed on account
of the suffering in Europe, but never
theless 1 have a feeling that there are
many who would count it privilege
to provide some Christmas remem-
brance for negro children in the rural
districts of the south, especially in the
cotton regions, where there IS likely
to be, not only nothing in the way of
ordinary Christmas gifts. but poverty
and suffering account OF the De
pressed financial conditions growing
out of the European war.
Il shall be glad to be used. as IN
other years. as a medium for the dis
tribution of such presents, through
small schools and otherwise, as may
be sent, and shall see that they reach
deserving children in wide sections of
the SOUTH"

LOCAL MENTION.
In Dreams.

In dreams | know the noble
fires that filled the bards OF long
ago: III dreams | smite celestial
lyres. and hear the deathless
music flow; but when wake
and take my pen, or try to strike
undying tunes, | have the same
old luck again. cannot sing for
moldy prunes. In dreams with
seraphin l swing through all the
boundless reach of sky, and hear
the choir triumphant sing The
songs men know not till they die !;
but when | wake and go outdoors
/ meet no bright angelic maid !;
| see bunch of female bores en-
gagged in militant parade. In
dreams | float on summer seas,
where never bitter tempests rave,
or lie beneath the nodding trees
that on some tropic island wave; ;
but when | wake | find the wind
has northward switched since
yesternight; it brings out goose
flesh on my rind and freezes
everything in sight. In dreams l
leave this sordid strand, where
men are valued for their wads,
and live while in Fable Land,
and eat ambrosia with the gods;
but when at last l cease to snore,
and rise to eat my morning buns,
string of men are at the door,
with iorty-seven kinds of duns.

WATER LOW IN RIVER.
Northwest Winds Send Level Three
Feet Below Normal.

The high tides Of the past ten days.
when the water on several occasions
went over the sea wall about the Potomac
Park, are being followed by almost as
correspondingly low tides following the
coming of the northwest winds. Last
night and this morning the water in the
river was three feet below the normal
level, and it is expected on the low water
of this afternoon the fats along the
Georgetown channel and between this city
and Alexandria will be bare, and the
gulls and other aquatic birds will have
an opportunity to enjoy feast on the
fish left in the pools on the flats.
The low water at Baltimore Saturday
last interfered with the launching of
Dougherty's new barge Georgia, the
water not being high enough to allow her
to go overheard. AS soon as the tides
return to normal she will be launched.
