blessed be the peacemakers, for they

speaking of the Mexican situation Mr..
DOnOhue said that some people would
like to see in war with that
country, as they have property there
and they want the people to- go down
there and make war on the Mexicans in
order to protect it. MI. Wilson has done
as much good while president as any
human being could do in these trying
times, he said, and deserves the conf
dence of the people. Mr.. Donohue made
a plea for his own candidacy and said If
elected he will justify the confidence re-
posed in him by the people of .4le sixth
district and will endeavor to serve them
all, republicans and democrats alike, to
the best of his ability. Il will try to
find out, before voting on any measures
of importance, what the sentiment of
the people is in regard to them, he said,
in closing his talk.
Quinn, the second speaker, although a
young man, proved very interesting
speaker. He spoke in support of Daniel
w. LaWler for senator and said in his
opening remarks that he believed all had

Office. and that was as to whether the
candidate is man Of the people or q
man of the trusts and who does not rep

His Probable Identity.

trouble with his motorcar out yur on
Hogback Hill luther day." relates Mr..
Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge. at
baked when 1t was three-quarters Of
the way up the hill, and then ran
backwards to the bottom of the slope,
and took the studs and wouldn't go
a-tall. And then while he was crank
ing it up it started, knocked him down
and stopped on top of him. l came
along and helped him exterminate him
self, and when he started up hill
again the motorcar baked once more
half way up, ran backwards to the bot
tom, wrapped itself around a tree,
caught fire and burned up. That Teller
wasn't killed, but he was considerably
singed, and lit out for a doctor as the
crow flies. / don't know whur he
came from, but l reckon he was n of

Mr.. Dorset, after his mother had in

a sad rent in little Danny's stocking,
blushed and laughed and looked SO
charming in the eyes of the city

fluenced him to take a whole weeks va

There were little excursions DOWN
the river in which Nellie took part.
There were pleasant chats in the gar

The Formidable Tom.

A writer, travelling on foot through
the southern mountains studying the
people for literary purposes, came up
on a man of whom he sought infOr-
nation as to the location of n certain
cabin where he had been advised to
put up for the night. "You-all goin'
there?" asked the man. "Well, Toms
q fust-class man, take him jest right,
but he's mighty queer" what do
you mean?" ITS like this: Tomll
be settin' outside, most likely, an he'll
see you-all, an eff you-all don't suit
him he may set the dawg on yu. Eff
he don't and you gifts to talkin' with
him, and say anything he don't like
he may throw you down an tramp on
you-all. But eff you-all's too careful
in your talk, on the other hand, he's
liable to git suspicious an take you
all for a spy an use his gun fust an
listen to explanations afterward. But
it amt no use tryin' to git by without
stopping. Eff you-all was to try that,
it would be all up, for he'd think you
all was proud an naughty. Eff you

Head-Hunting Suppressed.
Luckily for the DyaSs, and Incl
dentally for ethnology, these natives
possess a fine muscular development.
The women are well formed and move
with grace and freedom. The head
hunting part of the native religion has
been practically suppressed by Dutch
influence, and so far as i could as
certain the last case of the kind in
this region was at least five years ago.
apart from this repulsive custom,
which now seems to have been eradi-
Gated, ut any rate in this region, the
DyakS have many good qualities. They
are quiet, trustworthy and industrious,
and among them theft is unknown.
Their carving is good. and even the
wooden piles of the huts are artistical-

and the mobiles, whom the rest obey.
Though their clothing is very scanty,
they bear themselves with great dig

"Women as well as men practice
their primitive medicine, and the for
mer are as much in demand as the
male doctors. Part of the treatment
consists of a dirge sung by the practi-
toner, and when there is an epidemic
of sickness the night is made very mel
ancholy by the professional chorus.
The tattoo marks of these natives gen.
orally represent some part of the du-
rian, the famous fruit of which so much
has been written, and l may add that
to taste the DURAN is worth a journey

Negro. Mr.. Names advanced this
thesis as to the Importance Of music
to the human race, Irrespective of col
or, while talking On a favOrite theme:
the possibilities of the American Ne
gro and the rare opportunity Of reach
ing and developing him through his
fOndness for music.
Basing his statement on a long and
intimate experience with colored stu
dents, Mr.. Names said that the Me-
gro invariably turned for his musical
expression either to instruments up
on which he could pick or to instru-
ments of percussion, bowed instru-
ments never having figured in the Ne
gro's repertoire either here or In At
RIGA. Essentially a ~viOlinist himself.
Mr.. Names is particularly interested
in speculatiOns as to what Will nap
pen when the Negro rae wakes to
the possibilities of the violin and the
cello, and he likes to think that when
the Negroes master the use of the
bow, their management of 1t will ap-
proach 'the fine and natural legato
of their own voices"
When it comes to comparing human
potentialities, this musician, who was
first taught by "A Negro and has since
made the teaching of many members
Of that race a labor Of love, resents
the drawing Of a color line. AS he
warns to the championship of their
possibilities of development through
music, he pictures what the future has
in store. That future may be a dis
tant one, he readily admits, but, he
adds, to dream is but to p%rophesy.
"Ragtime is not essentially vulgar,
though its text and harmonic sequence
may be-" he says, "The Negro him
self is most sorrowful that he Is
thought the producer of vulgar rag
time. To my knowledge no Negro
has ever written to his music words
to which anyone could take exception.
Where vulgarity occurs in songs at
tributed to colored men, it is invaria-
bly, some white mar who has super
imposed it. Furthermore, you must
acknowledge the Negroes n of
poetry.
ITO be sure, he is not now devel-
| oped, but l would set no limit to his
future growth. Recognizing his hu-
man qualities, who would deny him
divine right? If you deny these hu-
man qualities, then, Of course, you
deny the divine attributes. l combat
most earnestly the theory that the Ne
gro's capacity for development Is
limited.
Not having had the opportunity to
develop a musical art tradition OF
their own, our colored citizens must
become acquainted with ours. There
the difficulty lies because they must
retain their natural genius and make
their W music. Having no frame
work OF their own upon which to build,
their faith must rest on Bach and
Beethoven and Brahms. New York
Evening Post.
