is that of the self possessed male vo-
calist with an unquenchable thirst for
ragtime music who camps in front of
the hotel piano on Sunday afternoon
and throws hugh chunks of nasal
resonance up the elevator shaft. Why
is it that our laws seize upon the in
offensive form of the stray mileh COW
and place her in gloomy confinement,
and at the same time allow the Sab
bath to be desecrated by the hotel
piano assassin
The thirst for travel is a very com
mendable variety which has been CON
siderably reduced in scope by the Eu-
ropean war. Prior to the outbreak of
the war this thirst took great numbers
Of Americans to foreign lands and
enabled them to part with their in
comes IN a scientific manner. There i
nothing that viii make stout, red
checked income look blue about the
mouth quicker than a long stretch Of
foreign travel. unless it is starting a

Some kinds of thirst are all right
to cultivate, and leave no regrets OIL
headaches in their wake When we

No more singing rebuke has been
dealt the hyphenated Americans than
that of Mr.. Roosevelt at Philadelphia
when he said: "The man who loves
other nations as much as he does his
own country stands on par with a
man who loves other women as much as
he does his own wife. The United
States can accomplish little for man
kind save in so far as within its bor-
ders it develops an intense spirit of
Americanism. Once it was true, as Lin
coin said, that this country could not
endure half free and half slave. To
day it is true that it cannot endure
half American and half foreign. -

"In Spite of the Handicap" book
written by James D. Corrothers.
George II. Doran company, New York,
publishers, is an unusual production In
many ways. 1t throws much light on
conditions in the south which confront
intelligent leaders Of the race In their
contact with their own people. 1t also
contains several pictures Of friends and
the family of Mr. Corrothers and what
one might style Kodak story of his
life." He was born In what is known
as the "Chain Lake Settlement" Mich
lgan, July 2, 1862
During his early childhood he suf-
fered great privation and lacked many
comforts.
He lived with his grandfather, who
was of Scotch-Irish and Indian blood
and who had no Negro blood except
through his marriage. His grandfather
directed all his energies toward James
education, paying particular attention
to his religious training.
Soon after he reached his fourteenth
birthday 1t became necessary for him
70 leave home on account of his grand
fathers feebleness and begin to care
for himself. He studied such books as
he could lay his hands on and soon be-
came very fond Of Burns. Heine.
Longfellow. Whittier. Tennyson and
Goldsmith. While working for a Mr..
Phillips Of Springfield. o., he was
granted the use of his library. and it
was then that his first poem. entitled
THE Deserted Schoolhouse." appeared
In print. The first lines begin:
Nestled amid the meadowlands
An old schoolhouse forsaken stands.
A dreary highway runs before. etc.

were very thrifty and Industrious. hav-
ing built schools. churches and many
beautiful homes. The Cleveland Ca
zette, weekly newspaper of Spring
field. wrought potent influence in the
fight waged for mixed public schools.
Through the continued encouragement
Of members of a Republican club In
Springfield Mr. Corrothers kept at his
poetry and made several attempts at
public speaking.
During the time Of the Cleveland
Harrison campaign he wrote campaign
songs to airs of such old war tunes
as when Johnnie Comes Marching
Home" and had them compiled In
pamphlet form In order to sell them,
but this undertaking proved unsuccess-
'ul. chiefly because Of poor manage
ment rather than lack of merit In the
poems. Owing to the kindness and
consideration Of Mr.. Lloyd he secured
a position which brought him $40
weekly. a sum which was more than
he had ever yet earned In week. The
money thus obtained was used to put
him upon his feet again His work at
this Office brought him into close rela-
ton with Lieutenant Governor Bross
who was willing to help him and stand
by him, but only upon the ground that
he was q Negro and therefore an I'M
developed man fitted only for the most
humble things in life. Mr.. Corrothers
appreciated this kindness, but still did
not In his estimation hold Governor
Bross' judgment of him to be q fair
one.
Among the friends who helped him
In school was his aunt, with Miss Fran
