CITY KEEPS PENNS PROMISE
Philadelphia Still Maintains Camping
Grounds for indiana II They Care
to Visit Metropolis.

Historical Philadelphia we all know,
" should know, well, but there are
very few who have ever heard Of some
Of the old. ut-of-the-ortlinary things
that 80 to form quaint Philadelphia.
One scarcely connects Indians with
the city nowadays, and yet at this
present time If tribe of Indians
should care to visit Philadelphia they
would find two camping grounds await
ing them in the very heart Of the city.
One lies between Broad and Juniper
streets, in The rear OF the Ritz Carlton
Hotel, while the other one IS down on
Second street. Years ago, when Penn
made his treaty with the Indians, he
promised them that Il place would be
kept for them and their descendants
forever, where they could camp when
they came to Philadelphia; and while
these plots of ground are not large,
yet they still stand there in fulfillment
of PENIS promise.
The old shot tower down on Second
street belongs, too, to Quaint Philadel-
phia. 1t dates back to the early days
of the republic. In those days there
were none of our up-to-date methods
for making shot round, and the method
then employed was to drop the melted
metal from Il height into water, thus
forming it into round balls or shot.

Aptitude.

Ny observation in life leads me to
believe that nearly every human be-
inc- h1= - ,.p,ituIv, that is, there is
something that he or she can do bet
ter than all other things. One in 4
hundred, again, has a remarkable apti-
tude, and in one in a thousand this ap-
titude is developed into something ex-
traordinary. 1t then amounts to natur-
al insight and constitutes genius. Now,
a perfect system of education, if it
could be devised, would be one which,
while developing to the fullest extent
all the faculties, would allow free play
to the special aptitude. But this is
Just what our American school system
fails to do, and does not aim at.-Auto-
biography of Charles Francis Adams.

War Reduces Insanity.

War as a palliative of insanity is a
theory unfamiliar to most people, but
we have no reason to doubt the conclu-
sions of Doctor Oswald of the Glasgow
Lunatic asylum on the matter, says the
London Globe. One phase of the sub
iect is instructive and significant. This
is "the removal of the powerful effect
of poverty on the mind and its replace
ment by the higher standards of living
and remunerative employment" Pow
erty and unemployment are thus by
medical testimony more fertile causes
of insanity than war. That is a lesson
to be borne in mind when the war is
over.

fact that we are right. In our hearts
! we know the things we fight for are
The things that are best worth pre-
serving
what will happen to Idaho, If
Germany wins this war;" In his adj
dress Secretary Lane pointed out
that Notwithstanding that Idaho Is
C000 miles removed from the seat
1r fighting, it is MT So far removed
from it's direct results. Suppose the
British navy is swept from the
seas and Germany and hsr Allies
win. Might not Germany say You
may make Belgium and Servia in
colonies and the provinces for which
she is contending, but give us Can
ada, so that we may never again

the countries that believe in keep

Large sums of money are needed
to prosecute the war and Secretary
Lane points cut that it is being rails
"a through taxation and through the
sale Of liberty bonds. He says If
you want your boy to merely stand
en- the Atlantic coast and listen tol
the wild waves, don't buy a liberty
bond. If you want him to reach the

If the people of Idaho will buy

NEGRO PASTORS BURIAL SER
VICE LASTS FOUR DAYS

L
Macon, Ga.-(SpeciaD What is
thought to have been the longest fu-
neral service ever held in Macon
came to an end when the Rev. r. B.
Williams, pastor of the Macedonia
Baptist church, colored, was buried in
All Saints cemetery near Macon.
The minister, who had been pastor
of the church for twenty years, died
recently. His funeral service began
Wednesday and lasted through Sat
urday. Continuous services were held
all day and thousands of Negroes
from all parts of the state attended.
Never before have so many Negroes
been gathered in Macon. There were
so many of them that in order for all
to attend the services it was neces-
sary to hold one service, clear the
church, and then hold another one
and so on until all of the thousands
had been permitted to attend.
Williams was the originator of the
"holy rock" a unique service which
the Negroes practice on Christmas
eve. He was fairly we'll educated and
had an immense following among his
own race.
This was largely due to the fact
that when one of his congregation
died Williams always took up a col
lection at the funeral and presented
it to the family of the deceased. In
this way he is said to have befriended
most of the Negro families in Ma
con.
