A BLACK HERO
1T WAS ALL IN PoLLARD's SPEED
HARVARD COULDN'T STOP NEGRO
STAR AND LOST TO BROWN,
TO 21.-
Three Long Runs by Fleet Footed Back
EnabIer Providence Eleven to
Down the Crimson-Harvard
Strated With Subs.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 1S.-Led by
dusky meteor named Pollard,
Browns powerful football team over
whelmed the Harvard substitutes this
afternoon, 81 to O.
In every period of the game the
Brown attack, bullet around the bril-
liant Negro halfback, crushed and
plowed its way through the weak
Crimson line.
1t was a shallow victory, in that
Harvard not only started her substi-
tutes, but many times delayed the
game with constant changes. But
Brown is happy tonight in the knowl-
edge that even with her regulars, Har-
ward found it hard to stop the brilliant
Providence eleven.
Pollard was the star of the game.
Time and again he slid off tackle or
circled the Crimson ends for long
gains. In the first period it was his
brilliant run back of Harvard punt
and his 36-yard run from the Harvard
40,yard line which gave Brown her
first chance to score.
1t was Pollard who brought the
Brown men to their feet in the third
period when he went through center
and then lodged and staggered his
way through the entire Harvard team
for a touchdown, after run of forty
five yards. In this period Harvard
was penalized for roughing Pollard.
f. The Crimson showed flash of
strength at the opening of the final
period. but after Pollard had intercept
ed Harvard pass and then caught a
Brown forward pass and ran the length
of the field, Purdy plunged over for
the third touchdown.

But tlte South has held them back.

All men look alike to God,
No matter how large they've grown;
All are subjects to his rod,
And reap what they have sown.

From Florida's stormy banks I go,
I'll bid the South good-bye
No longer shall they treat me So
And knock me in the eye.
The Northern States is where I'm bound,
MY cross is more than double
If the Chief Executive can he found,
III tell him all my trouble.
Thousands of boys have gone before.
And enjoying their Northern lives,
There's nothing at all they can't deplore.
SO they wrote their wives.
Thousands of others are clamoring to go,
To join the glorious sop,
But the RECRUITS failed to take one more,
The Crackers made them stop.
Arise We Darkies. now a slave
Your chance, today, has come;
Hold up your head with courage brave,
Cause times are changing Come.
God Is punctual to His word,
And faithful to his dating,
Humble prayers is what he heard,
After years of anxious waiting.
All before this change was made
They took me for a tool
No respect to me was paid
They classed me as a fool.
For centuries past 1 was knocked and
cuffed,
And imposed by Southern Whites"
For fifty long years they've had me
bluffed
And robbed me of my "Rights."
Thousands of us are taken North,
From Georgia; and below;
This chance affords the greatest draught
That we've ever had before
o! praise the Lord, each house and
steeple,
Let us have a glorious dance:
What a blessing to our people
If they'd take solemn chance.
The South declared in bloody figures,
To reject me, as neighbor.
They class me a trashy 'nigger,"
Just fit for common labor.
Everybody's welcome in the Southern
States,
The Jew, the Greek, the Turk.
But If l enter within their gates,
must ask some boss for work.
Anybody that does the work I do,
They're paid four dollars per day.
But / must lie, and steal some too,
Just to get one-half that pay.
They pay me off with a trashy mess,
And cheat me in the deal,
They force me hard to work for less,
And rest me when l steal
If thousand whites work at a place.
Every one there's my boss.
They've taken a spite against my race
And drive me like a horse.

THE END OF THE WORLD
BY Benz. v. Lonodon.


Just as centuries ago men, not few,
looked for the end of earthly things,
so now some talk of the end of the
world. What is justification? Is it
the high cost of living or the success
of many Democratic candidates at
the recent election? Is it the grim
determination of the belligerent ma
tions? We think not Frankly, we
don't see any justification. With not
more than 1-3 of the world believing
in any fashion in the Divinity of
Christ with mans inhumanity to
man" looming large we are fain to
believe the end is still remote un-
less, indeed we should see a sudden,
universal quickening of the spiritual
faculties of men and realization of
the need of Christian unity and broth
erhood. The natural signs are not,
as yet, sufficiently alarming. 1t is an
open question. Some brilliant and
gifted men say the world has nearly
reached its allotted span; others, Of
not smaller mental endowments de-
clare the world is still very young. No
man knows. Either way it is not for
us to scott at the world as the elegant
refinement and delicacy of speech be-
longed to the artificiality of manners
of the more fortunate races; as
though the simplicity and integrity of
conduct and honesty of intention and
domestic virtue had vanished. Just
as the things that we esteem best
survive and take to themselves added
nourishment. so do they give ampler
opportunities and larger compensa-
tions than ever before to those who
have overcome. If the world buffets
us let us not be utterly cast down.
And perhaps we can luckily laugh at
it, and turn it's sorry jokes upon it as
happily as Abou Hassan made re-
prisal when he was the victim of the
Caliph's jest. For Abou sent his wife
to the Sultan to tell her with much
lamentation that Abou was dead The
Sultan comforted her and gave her a
sum of money to defray the funeral
expenses. Then Abou went to the
Sultan and told him his wife was dead
and was treated with like generosity.
When the Caliph met his Sultana he
told her Abou had passed away but
she said he was mistaken it was
Abou's wife who had joined the
prophet. Then the Sultan sent his
servant to verify Abou's report but
that worthy seeing his coming
feigned death and was so reported.
The Sultana also sent her servant
but Abou was watchful and this time
it was his wife who counterfeited
death. Utterly mystified the caliph
and his Sultana decided to go in per
SON but when they reached the house
found Abou and his wife both appar-
emily dead And the Caliph, utterly
distracted exclaimed: 81 would give a
thousand pieces of gold to know which
died first" whereupon Abou exclaimed
"It was, 1 my Lord and exclaimed
the reward amid much merriment.
Every day is new beginning,
Every day is the world made new
Ye who are weary of sorrow and sin
ming,
Here is a beautiful thought for you
A thought for me and thought fol
you"

COP ADMITS HE'S A RossER.
IN UNIFORM, LAWRENCE QUINN
AIDED IN BOX CAR THEFTS.
Judge Latshaw Sentences Him to Two
and one-Haif Years in Prison and
Edmund Aspinwall, His Accom-
pice, to Two Years.

Lawrence Quinn, a policeman, was
sentenced to two and one-half years in
the penitentiary by Judge Latshaw
yesterday afternoon for aiding Ed
mund Aspinwall, 10 years old, yard
clerk for the Missouri Pacific, in a
box car robbery at First street and
Grand avenue, Saturday night. Quinn
was on duty during the robbery and
wore his uniform. Aspinwall was
given two years.
Aspinwall lives at 3705 Garfield ave-
nue.. He met Quinn at the saloon of
George Quinn, the patrolman's broth
er, at Fourth and Grand. The two
discussed the robbery, and Quinn took
his brothers motor car to the foot of
the Grand Avenue hill.
Hid Goods Near Quinn's Home.
Two box cars were opened. Two
sacks of potatoes valued at Sc were
taken from one, and three boxes of
Oranges, costing SIS, from the other
The goods were hidden in shed at
Garland and Rochester avenues, near
Quinn's home at 2405 Rochester.
Aspinwall was arrested Sunday
morning and made a statement impli-
eating Quinn. Quinn took the railroad
officers to the shed where the food
was stored and the railroad recovered
it.
/ Aspinwall and Quinn were taken be
| fore the prosecuting attorney yester-
/ day afternoon Aspinwall pleaded
guilty to the charge of burglary and
grand larceny. Quinns pleas swayed
back and forth, however. He had
signed a statement, detailing his part
in the robbery. and he said he would
plead guilty to what he had signed"
and would plead guilty to having the
railroad yards at First and Grand on
his beat" Finally he admitted the
robbery.
Used Club on Two kansans.
When Fred Mathiot and his brother,
farmers of Peabody, Kan, were in
Kansas City recently, Quinn beat
them with his club in fight in a
/ rooming house at 563 Walnut street
, Quinn would have been cited for bru
: tality, but the Mathiots returned e

there said Fred Mathiot's life was in
danger as a result of the beating.
At the time of the escape of James
Sammon, a notorious 'pickpocket, from
the "holdover" at police headquarters
= last spring, Quinn was acting jaileI
, and was, accused of letting Sammon
! out. Quinn has been on the police
force fourteen months.

Captain Austin Young's recital of
