village as young man of fortune on q
a vacation. Mr. Duncombe had met,
him at the town club and took quite
a fancy to him. This was, however,
because as his partner at whist the
talented young man won most of the
games from their adversaries at z
cards.
One evening this delectable IN
dividUal met Jim Carr, a servant at
the Duncombe home, in a secret way.
Judging from their conversation
these two had known one another in
a sinister way in the past. Further"
than that, it appeared that the vaunt-
ed young man of wealth had some
hold on Jim.
"See here, Carr" he said on the
present occasion, you know what
I'm after; rich wife. If old Dun

There's a young artist fellow who

river in Brazil by saying that the
British geographer unconsciously had
paid the greatest possible tribute to
what be had done. He declared the
best existing maps to be utterly
wrong in regard to all this part of
South America and said that they
made mistakes as to the courses of

STRIKERS IMPOSSIBLE

Wakefield. Mass, May 13.-The loss of
a single order of s2oo,o0o due to the COM
petition of manufacturers who employ
convict labor was described by Presi-
dent Charles II. Lang, Jr., of the Hey
wood Brothers & Wakefield Co. at the
hearing before Commissioner Woods of
the state Board of Cancellation and Ar
bitratin today on the strike situation at
the company's factories. Evidence was
presented to show that public and penal
institutions in increasing numbers were
engaging in the manufacture of mating
and reed furniture.
Mr. Lang declared that horizontal in
crease of 20 per cent. in wages asked for
by the strikers was out of the question
as it would add about 100000 additional
to the payroll ass hown for 1913 He set
the number of employees absent from the
factories on account of the strike at 500.

NEGRO RACE PROGRESSING.
Booker r. Washington Tells of For
ward Movement in Virginia.

New York, May 13.-The Negro race
in Virginia is going forward, in my
opinion, in all the fundamental and
substantial things of life, faster than
the Negro himself realizes and faster
than his white neighbor realizes,
Booker T. Washington says in The
Southern. Workman" This progress
which Virginia Negroes are now expe-
riencing is owing to two causes.
First, they have been fortunate for
a number of years in having governors
with foresight, vision, liberality and
courage; and in having superintend-
ents of education and other state Of
ficials who have considered the inter-
ests, prosperity and progress of all the
people, regardless of race or color. and
/ have always noticed that the char
acter of the colored race in any COM
munity or state is patterned very
largely after the character of the
white people in that community or
state.
The second reason why the Negroes Of
