My friend, you have heard OF the
town of Yawn
On the banks of the river Slow
Where blossoms the Waitawhile fiow-
er fair
Where the Sometimeorother scents
the air
And the soft Goeasy grows?
II lies in the valley of Whatstheuse
In the province of Letterslide
That tired feeling is native there;
It's the home of the listless 1dontcare
Where the Putitoffs abide.
The Putioffs smile when asked to in
sure,
And say they will do it tomorrow,
And so they delay from day to day,
Till Death cycles up and takes them
away,
And their families beg, steal and Dor
row.-Anon.

OLO TIMER WISHES TO
KNOW CONDITIONS HERE

In a letter, opened by the Censor,
addressed to the Republican news
paper in Flagstaff, is an appeal from
an old time resident of Flagstaff and
Coconino county for information re-
garding present day conditions.
As this letter may prove interest
ing, especially to the older residents,
we give herewith its entire contents:
West Ditchburn, Alnwick,
Northumberland, England.
Dear Sir:
Please excuse this somewhat vague
address-it is now 20 years since
was in your town and / am not able
to reeollect the name of your paper.
was working in those days for the
Arizona Cattle Co. Al bar,
My excuse for troubling you now
is this: / am writing some works on
the western states, Arizona, New
Mexico, etc, and am short of infor-
nation on present day conditions.
am obliged to ask your good nature
to put me right on few points, If
you can spare the time.
1. Does the range cattle business
still exist to your knowledge any
where in the Territory? / expect my
old outfit is dead. Do you know OF
any Cattle Cos. or private owners and
are there still cowpunchers left in the
interior parts?
2. Are there still Indians on the
reservation away North of the Little
Colorado river.
8. Are there any U. S. troops sta
toned ordinarily at the old military
posts, Thomas, Grant, etc.
will be most grateful for any
thing you can tell me. know New
Mexico, where | spent great part OF
my life, is sadly changed; no doubt
Arizona also, there are so many parts
of it untitled for any other purpose
than stock raising that ! have hopes
| should like very much to see a
copy of your paper and if you will let
me know the annual subscription with
mail rate to this address | would be
inclined to send you the amount.
expect an English check would get
cashed all right at your end.
1t is possible that | may be in your
country within the next year or two.
II get so far will look you up, and
waste some more of your time.
Thanking you in advance, ] am,

The Star is deeply grieved to know
that some OF our leading women are
willing to swallow Carlson when they
know and have discussed with us how
he has ignored the colored women.
What do they think Gov. Carlson deep
down in his heart Of hearts thinks OF
these Negro women who are now mol
lering out their lungs for him, when
he has for two years past Ignored
them? Women, stop and think, is II
womanly? Can you get respect py
licking the hand that smites you? Is
it for the promised job that you are
so willing and ready to sell the whole
set of Negro women out? Then, If 1t
is a question of sale, why not let the
men or the Star sell out the whole
race, as men and newspapers have
done before? Don't you know when
YOU lay down and surrender your
womanly principles, that you lose
even tho you may get some white
mans or woman's applause and sweet
enconiums? Why not let Negro WON
en- be first for the race and then 1or
the white politicians? We trust that
these women can see their errors. II
these women are right in advocating
Mr.. Carlson's election, then the Star
is wrong. Not one single person, IN
speech or otherwise, has disputed the
charges made by the Star against MT
Carlson. II the Star is right, then
they are wrong and it must be that
some unseen and unknown motive
prompts these women to "holler 1or
Carlson, who has ignored them.

FISK OWNS SACRED TROPHY.
Famous Tennessee School Given Bible
Once Owned by Lincoln.
BY D. WELLINGTON BERRY.


Nashville Tenn. - President F. A.
Mckenzie of Fisk university has come
into the possession OF Bible which
was presented to Abraham Lincoln by
delegation of colored men at Balti.
more in 1864. The Bible is to remain
in the permanent custody of the noted
educational institution for colored PEG
pie, having been sent direct to Prest
dent Mckenzie from Hildene, Man.
chester. Vt, by Robert T. Lincoln, son
of the former president.
The book was received by the univer-
sity the past term, and arrangements
were made to- hold special exercises
with reference to the gift.
President Mckenzie in making the
announcement read a number of letters
that proved to be very interesting and
also delivered short address, in which
he declared that the gift would ever be
regarded at the university as a sacred
trust. The book is to be used at the
school only upon very solemn and i'm.
portant occasions. it is understood.
President Lincoln in accepting the
gift from the colored people was quot
ed as saying: ut is the best gift which
God has ever given man. All the good
from the Saviour Of the world is COM
municnted to us through this book.
But for the book we could not know
right from wrong. Therefore I return
you my sincere thanks for the very
elegant copy of the great book Of God
which you present"
In his letter to President Mckenzie,
Robert T.. Lincoln. son Of the great
emancipation. said, "It has seemed to
me better that this notable testimonial
should be preserved in some institution
where its resting place will be perma-
nent, and l. can think OF no more fit
ting selection than the institution
founded by General Clinton Bowen
Fisk Immediately upon the conclusion
of distinguished service in the war
which resulted in the abolition Of hu.
man slavery IN our country"
President Mckenzie also quoted from
the speech Of Rev. 8. w. Chase. the
colored minister who acted as spokes-
man Of the delegation which presented
the book to President Lincoln. In part
Rev. Mr.. Chase said:
"Since we have been incorporated In
the American family we have been
true and loyal. and We now stand
ready to defend our country. We are
ready to be armed and trained In mill.
tary matters in order TO protect and
defend the star spangled banner. We
come forward to present 4 copy Of the
Holy Scriptures ~ . token Of respect
to you for your active part II the Gauss
