acts and four scenes. 1t carries 4
cast Of thirty-fve with twelve speak
ing characters. The cast includes

THE FORGOTTEN GARDEN.

Civic and school interest in garden
ing wins considerable applause in the
newspapers before the frost leaves
the ground and for a while there.
after, then comes lameness of the
hack and joints, and-the garden is
forgotten. Only those whose enthusi-
asm is of deeper root remain faith
full through the hot and wearisome
days of late spring and summer. No
one ever need fear the spasmodic
tiller of vacant lots. His rivalry
may bulge a little in the prints, but
the results of his lab0rs are heart
breaking to those who cry for fresh
vegetables. BY the latter part Of
June the spasmodic gardener has
lest all that fine glow CT inspiration
which seemed destined for a time to
set little corner Of the world afire.
Good gardening is a matter OF
sound and unremitting labor in a pr.
vate way, and it is not attained by a
sort of social spasm, which hungers
for the bouquets of publicity, while
its yotaries purchase their onions,
radishes and lettuce at the old stand.
The civic and school gardens are
learly always tizzles because they ap.
peal to the play spirit rather than 10
the spirit of devotion and industry.
III all these enterprises fathers and
mothers should lead, acting an in.
telligent and untiring part them
selves, and tutoring their sons and
daughters in the gentle art Of the
hoe and rake, not for the purpose OF
winning cheap applause, Nlt because
the harvest that follows honest and
quiet toll has its material rewards
hot to speak of the joy and health
which come with their attainment

After the mornings repast, the

Verify those were good old days

down in our soul If those days were
here again. Even now, sometimes i'll

often muse,
Backward, turn backward,

But why dwell in the past? Let
us live now as they did in the past,
live in the church and Sunday
school. Let our religion show forth
in our lives as did our forebears.
Often have We heard. our sainted
mother sing
"Jesus loves me, this 1 know,

And she learned that Jesus loved her

dark days of slavery and oppression

AT EASTER.

The SHOWS have faded from the hills
AS fades the gloom from weary
hearts;
A world of music haunts the rills
While leaf and flower attend theil
arts
OF ancient beauty unsurpassed.
Lo! everywhere the hand of God
A dauntless spell Of hope has cast
To stir from brain of man to sod.
Sing! little streams, as ne'er you
sang,
And flaunt, we blossoms gaily clad
No bloom today should dropping hang,
Forgotten are all memories sad.
The grave has lost it's victory
And death its immemorial sting.
Lift up, o man, your eyes and see
The Christ, and at his rising sing,
Gone are the doubts and gone the
fears,
Supernal brightness fills all space;
flushed are the signs and dried the
tears,
Angelic rapture marks each face.
Jesus who knew the bitter cross
And all the darkness of the tomb
Has crowned with life what seemed
but loss,
Has filled with light our path Of
gloom.
Hail! Hail his name, the Prince
divine;
On land and sea the story spread
Of his returning, holy sign,
The love is lord DER all the dead
That out of darkness comes the day
, That out of sorrow gladnes
springs.
Chant, songsters! Lilies, be We gay
/ Love canopies with heavenly wings

NEGRO OFFICERS FOR NEGRO
TROOPS.

IhUUPS,
Now that the signs of the times
point unerringly to hostilities be-
tween this country and Germany, we
unhesitatingly go on record for Ne
gro officers for Negro troops.
We call upon every able-bOdied
man who is eligible for service TO
enlist and do what he can fer the
salvation of the nation, but We in
sst that they be Differed by men of
their own race from corporal to
colonel.
In every field of endeavor the black
man has made good when given the
chance and We are doubly sure he
will make more than good if placed
in command of soldiers of his own
race. We think it but fair and just
that the Negro he given this chance
10 show the metal of which he is
made. Negroes are brave and have
Eeen tried and stood the fiery test In
years agone and will do it again If
given the opportunity Negroes have
always borne the burden in the heat
Of the day, viz, at Bunker Hill, at
San Juan, at Carrizal and other
places too numerous 10 mention.
Yes, give us Negro officers Tor Ne.
gro troopers, and then you'll see some
sure enough battles. Let us have
them, and the whole world will ap-
rlaud the wisdom of the powers that
lie. Negro officers have made their
mark in France, Brazil and Othei
countries. then why can't they he
had in Uncle Sans domain?
Negroes are Americans from head
to foot, and love America for Amerl-
cas- sake. Our doctors, nurses and
cur men and women in all walks OF
| life are ready to do service for the
nation under officers of their own
color

WAR IS HE'LL"

War is hell" so said an eminent
gentleman a half century ago. That
he was wholly right in his assertion
has been amply verified time and
again. But the Negro is now ready
to face hell and all OF its attendant
horrors whenever President Wilson
gives the word.
Germany, it seems, has disregard
ed all rules of international warfare
and like a mad dog is running amuck
Swapping, snarling and biting at
every thing, forcing the United
States to the last alternative. 1t
seems We have gotten to the bridge,
there is nothing left to do but t.
cross it. The Negro is not asking
the why's or the wherefOres but like
the noble six hundred,
There's not to reason why,
There's not to make reply,
There's but to do and die"
ALI we know is that our country
needs us, and we are willing and
eager to do its bidding.
War is hell, but the Negro Loyalty
loving his country and the stars and
stripes is ready ito do and die if
need be. We are willing to face war
crueltieS and barbarities to the end
that "old glory" may never be dis
honored or trailed in the dust. We
are Americans first, last, and always.
We are not looking back into the
dead part, we have no feeling in this
matter save patriotism. AS Amer
can citizens, we owe it to ourselves
our children and our children's chill
dren to uphold the honor and glory
of our cOuntry's integrity and Amer
lean institutions. We are not craven
towards and have never shown our
selves to be when Columbia the gem
of the Ocean" is imperiled.
War is hell, 50 say we all, but hell
hath no furies that the Negro viii
not dare 20 save the nOnor and slay
of his cOuntry's flag. We have never
teen found wanting, and never will
le We invite the acid test. We arr
ready to shoulder arms, and TO for
ward march, when the word is
given.
War is hell" but those who know
the Negro soldier are aware that he
is not a duty shrker. nor a hardship
sidestepper, rather lie is truly l"yrl
to the marrow bone.
"War is hell even 50, hut the
black man will be found heroically
upon the firing line doing his utmost
to uphold the rights OF the American
nation and the perpetuity Of the con
stitution. And, to the regnant race
We would say, when this he'll is
over, give us a mans chance to live
and have our being, embarrassed By
race prejudice and petty jealousies.
Hut, war is hell" And, yet after
the cruel war is done we all in truth
join in singing tile Land of the free
and the home of the brave"
