QUAKER WIT.

Somewhere in France there is
at work group of English Ouakers,
whose cool courage and tireless de-
votlon IN rescuing and tending the
wounded on many a battlefield
have won them, despite their peace
principles, the hearty respect and
liking of both Tommies and
piou upious. Among them is one
young man whose ancestors for
several generations have been nota-
bic more for wit and spirit than for
the virtues oftenest associated with
drab coats and broad hat brims.
1t was member of that family
a century or more ago, that found
himself by chance in a carriage
with very fine lady attired in the
low neCked short sleeved muslin
dress then in the height of fashion
adorned by profusion Of jewels
and trinkets, and pratccted only by
lace shawl as light as a cobweb.
A chilly wind blew up suddenly
and she exclaimed, sbivering
What shall ! do to get warm?''
l really don't know said the
Quaker sympathetically, unless
thee put on another breast-pin. -

THE NEW BIRTH.

Men, need not die again to rise
With resurrection in their eyes,
1T but the selfish spirit dies.
We need not wait for birth above
Some dreaming prophet tells us of
Whlle we have hearts and men need
love.
Who thinks thought for other men
Who lifts brother burden, then
Is with his brother born again.
A resurrection I behold
More tender than the vision Old
Ot skies OF blue and harps Of gold
No storied sphere, no tabled land
A resurrection here at hand
The simplest soul can understand.
The men are learning more and more
The greater lessons, later lore,
Ihe things they were created for;
The new idea the broader birth,
Turns fears to JOY and pain to mirth !;
Ihe new idea girds the earth.
We shall not rise who seek to rise
For Our own selves to saintcd skies
While round about us sorrow lies
Nay, we shall rise by knecling near
Some brother soul with song of cheer
Shall rise by bringing heaven here.
American Lunberman.

Oswald Garrison Willard S recent
speech against hyphenated Ameri-

Mr.. Willard was himself born on

and sheltered and fed and clothed

Other races have shown strong
tendencies to form distinct bodies:
Mr.. Willard said, but the German
propaganda is, SO far, the most
extensive.
He then asked if it were true, as
Contcnded, that the German kultur
and political system were superior
to the scheme of life and govern

who have iloclled here did not 90

Mr. Willard said, that to allow
natlonallstic groups to develop in
this country such as they have in
Austria Hungary would be most
disastrous. He said such propos-
al was unthinkable to true

For many years it has been the
custom to treat colored people as
aliens, although they are more than
ninety nine per cent of American
birth, and there is q growing ten
dcncy among the colored people to
regard themselves as aliens. This
is being encouraged by a class Of
leaders who call themselves "Nc-

ought to stop the Negro propagan-

The Fairfax
CDI0red Fair

In company with James A Savoy
the dean Of the tonsorial artists of
the House of Representatives |
lett Washington on Tuesday Octo-
Der the 18th. about 8 O clock A M
and at a few minutes of ten we
entered the above named Fair
Grounds and the first man to greet
us was Mr. Horton of Fairfax
Court House.
There were about five thousand
people on the ground, mostly
farmers of Fairfax County, includ-
ing Grand Stand with seating
capacity of about fifteen hundred
people. Their exhibits of live
stock and farm products were fine
which consisted of about everything
that is produced by first class farm
ers;such as draft horses, saddle and
driving horses, mich COWS with
calves. Sheep and hogs were all
hne as were their poultry, chickens,
turkeys, geese and ducks.
The canned fruit department was
presided over as one of the Judges
by Miss Julia Parker, daughter of
Col. Charles Parker of Clifton. Va.
prosperous farmer Of that section.
There were more than one hun
.dredd carriages and buggies on the
ground, not including about fifteen
Ford Auto cars, besides trucks
hauling twenty FIVE and thirty peo
pie at load.
Hon Thomas /. Jones, formerly
OF Va, but now of the District of
Columbia, evidently felt at home on
Virginia soil. He addressed the
association, speaking for about one
hour and thirty minutes. He said
many encouraging things to the
colored people, Notwithstanding
their ups and downs between the
lines of demarcation. He pictured
the Negro as playing an important
part in the affairs of the world
since the time, when God said:
Let there be Light and there was
Light to the present time. He
said he knew Negro was there
somewhere, if standing behind a
tree watching what was going on.
Many of the prominent white
people of Fairfax County attended
the Fair. Among them were the
Supt. of Free Schools, the Clerk Of
the Courts of Fairfax County
members Of his family and manv
others.
