THE NEGRO AND THE BANJO.
There Was No Affinity Between Them
In Old Plantation DAYS.

In Old Plantation Days.
To represent the negro in his comic
aspects and in his sentimental moods
was what the minstrels pretended to
do, but the pretense was often only
hollow mockery. Even the musical In
struments they affected, the banjo and
the bones, were not as characteristic of
the field hand or even of the town dar-
Ky as the violin.
Indeed. the bones cannot be consid-
cred as in any way special to the
negro; they were familiar to Shake
speare's Bottom. who declares: II have
reasonable good ear in music; let us
have the ton2s and the bones" And
the wise recorder of the words and
deeds of Uncle Remus declared that he
had never listened to the staccato pick
ing of banjo in the negro quarters of
any plantation.
81 have seen the negro at work." SO
Joel Chandler Harris once asserted.

to the Pans pipes: have heard him

seen him blow wildly on the bugle and
beat enthusiastically on the triangle.

LOST CITY OF PETRA.
May Have Been the Resting Place of
the Children of Israel.

lne InHdFen OF isFaei.
Petra, lost city and called by the
few white travellers who have seen 1t
one of the wonders of the world, lies
in the Arabian wilderness. shadow
CT its once prihcely self.
Almost forgotten. it Is believed by
historians and archaeologists to have
been the place where the children of
Israel fingered for twenty years when
they We're on their way from Egypt to
the promised land Although 1t Is be-
lieved to have contained at one time
population of 100000, it is now one
of the interesting places of which ex-
plorers know comparatively little. 1t
has no modern history, and, strange as
it may seem, it lay absolutely forgotten
as far as Europe was concerned for
fourteen centuries.
In the centuries long passed Petra
was an important trading station for
the caravans that moved between
Persia and Egypt. and India and the
holy land and Syria. 1t Is built In
colossal bowl of pink, and it's palaces,
temples and tombs are carved out of
|
ings are 5000 years old. Its walls pre-
serve the history Of architecture, for
its structures date from the days of
cave men to the magnificent buildings
Of Greece and Rome.
Today Petra has about thirty In
habitants. They keep few goats, go
beyond their city into the desert to
trade with passing caravans and, alto
gether, lead a miserable life. They
have made trouble for many travellers
who attempted to visit them, for a
legend survives that a Pharaoh Of
Egypt hid his country's treasures in
the Kazneh. the beautiful building
which Is today known as Pharaoh's
treasure house.
For many years they tried to keep
white travellers from entering the city,
because when the treasure was found
they said 1t belonged to them. But to-
day they welcome visitors. NOminally
the city of Petra is personal posses
sion of the sultan of Turkey, and 1t Is
theoretically against the law to re-
move anything without his permission.
But there is nobody to stand watch
and guard the historic treasures. Every
traveller helps himself, and the natives
assist him In his search. hoping to de-
rive a few cents for their labor

When Turtles Were Bio.

OF the turtles it may be said that
they represent the most ancient type of
all vertebrates, resembling closely as
they do the reptiles of their kind which
existed so far back as the mesozoic
era. There were sea tortoises during
that epoch which measured twenty
feet in spread of fiippers. while some

Very AMUSING.

The late DR.. A. X. FL. Boyd of Scot
land once visited a woman who had
lost her husband. By way of comfort.
ing her he proceeded to set forth with
great earnestness and beauty of lam
guage the joys of the state to which
the departed one had attained. The
bereaved woman, with a vivid recol-
lection of her husbands defects, found
1t hard to share in the minister's hopes,
although she wished to show her sense
of his kindness. She unburdened her
self thus: "Weel, DIR. Boyd, you're

In an article on "Old Dublin Streets"
Mr.. j. III. Halloran draws an amusing
picture of a notorious virago named
Moriarty, keeper of a small shop OPP
posite the Fourt Courts. Her spirit,
originally high and frequently re-en-
forced by the other variety termed
ardent, and her extraordinary range
of picturesquely vituperative language
made her the terror of whomsoever
she denounced and the delight OF the
audience that always rapidly assem-
bled. She never met her match but
once. There have been many versions
Of that meeting. for the victor was no
less person than Daniel O'Connell,
whose friends laid a wager that he
could reduce her to silence, but they
all appear to be based on the same mar
rative, published about the middle of
the last century by Daniel Owen Mad
den.
The encounter opened briskly, with
taste of the viragos tongue, promptly
administered upon O'Connell venturing
to object to the price she asked for a
walking stick.

the highest salaries of any man in
the employ of the company. Mr.. Bur-
row has always been very generous
with information in the Healdton field
and has made friends of all local pro-
ducers. Readers of the oil columns of
this paper can scarcely realize how
much pleasure Mr. Burrow has afford
ed them by being generous with this
paper in the way of oil news. In the
early days there were very few per-
sons here who had ever had any oil
field experience, and Mr.. Burrows in
formation and advice were frequently
sought. His presence will be missed
by many Ardmore people and should
he decide to go to Mexico in the in
terest of his company, he will be ac-
companied by the very best wishes of
a large circle Of friends in Ardmore
and in the fields.
