TO THE IDLE
BY Roscoe c. Jamison.

Ho. YOU loud. and laughing rowdies,
With your whiskey, gin and beer,
That around these cities gather.
A Voice is calling-can you hear?
Pause awhile in your carousmg,
Stop the music. now, and think,
Meath you is a yawning abyss,
And your Race slides to the brink.
1t is YOU that binds its members
With hemp cords of prejudice;
1t is YOU that pulls them downward.
To be Hatreds sacrifice.
You. who think not of tomorrow,
All content to dance today.
Your Race started up the mountain,
But you fell, and it must stay.
We are barred, and can you wonder?
We are ynched. have you not heard?
Youth. strong Youth, your Race is calling,
Will YOU spurn its dying word?
Make the most of life, and knowledge,
Honor them who fought. and died,
That you might ascend the hilltops.
Stand erect in Manhood pride,
Co and tell the idle women
Who forgot blest motherhood,
There is still reward in virtue
Help them to be pure, and good.
Form a shield of strength about them,
Bid them now dark wanderings cease,
From their souls may spring the wisdom
That will win our full release.
These are days of stress, and anguish,
Fate marks here our destiny,
Generations of the Future,
Send to you this earnest plea.
Fathers from the past look hereWard
With dread longing i'll their eyes,
And their lips these words are forming
up, Young Men; arise. arise!'
Hear, oh. hear. and cease your revel.
Put your shoulders to the wheel,
Pray to God for strength of spirit,
Labor for the common veal.
Cast away your baleful pleasure,
Turn from whiskey, gin. and beer,
Help your Race to win this battle
A Voice is calling-can YOU hear?

The boats conveying the supplies
were left at a blockhouse hastily con-
structed at a point % miles north OF
Fort Harrison; and at noon of Noyem-
Der 6 they came into view of the hum
dredS of tepees which made up the
Prophets town. Less than one thou
sand strong, they had ventured to the
Indian stronghold, where 1000 braves
were assembled; all along their march
they had been exposed to attack; and
now, as they marched resolutely for
ward, the red warriors began to pour
out like angry bees from a hive.
The column halted and parley took
place. Angrily the Indians inquired
the meaning of the army's advance
did they intend to attack? Harrison
shook his head; he wished merely to
encamp that night and to confer with
the Prophet in the morning; there
should be no hostilities. The chiefs
grunted, pacified, and the army, wheel
ing mile to the northwest, made
camp upon a wooded plateau, along
whose abrupt declivity on the west
there ran little greek. called Tippe-
canoe. The regular troops pitched
their tents; the militia, shivering in
the raw November dusk, without tents,
were forced to build great fires, around
which they huddled upon their arms.
A rain began falling; and the night,
cherries, bitterly cold, shrouding in
blackness whatever advance the saw
ages might make, closed in on them.

CHAPTER XII.
"Yankee Doodle Dandy"

As the end of the hurrying file or
savages vanished into the woods David
stole back toward the glade where Ike
lay. He had gone but three miles
on his quest for help when his anxiety
for Ike's safety had overcome him and
he turned back. He had nearly reached
the spot when he caught sight Of the
last two warriors of the party, and
Toinette between them; and even as
his blood stopped in his veins at the
vision, the two warriors overlook the
advance guard and disappeared from
view among the trees.
The blood pounded wildly in Da-
vid's temples, and like mailman he
rushed to the side of the delirious man.
"Ike!" he whispered hoarsely; "Toi-
nette didn't you see them passT'
But Blackford only moaned pite-
ously; and David sank to his knees,
and, as gently as woman, bathed the
parched forehead Of the unconscious
man. AS he watched Blackford, su-

CHAPTER Kill.
In the House of the Prophet.

The red warriors who had glided
past Blackford's delirious eyes
dragged with them girl who called
piteously for help. 'Ike, Ike, don't
you know me" she screamed, and
was answered only by the hooking
silences OF the woods.
Northward she struggled, driven by
her captors; and all around she saw
the Implying children of the wood.
Down to the edge Of the rivers came
the dark majesty of the forest. Be-
low struggled the green galaxy of
bush and shrub; and above, towering
beeches, clean-boled, smooth, gray,
rearing their clouds Of delicate leaf
cry; sycamores, whose massive pill
lars cleaned white through the dusky
aisles; superb cottonwoods, bearing
with proud lightness their weight Of
ever-trembling leaves; colossal oaks,
like Atlas lifting up green worlds of
foliage; and, king of all, the Ameri-
can INTERCHANGEABLE tulip tree-its
branches a stupendous dome of majes-
tic beauty, over which, in May, 1t cast
the miraculous loneliness Of its waxen
blossoms.
BY day Toinette saw at times the
milder people of the woods, crouched
in the night encampments, she lis
tened with beating heart to the ter
rible scream of the cougar, the tawny
demon of the wood, or trembled in APP
prehension of those other human.
more dreadful demons, her captOrs.
.
Noon of the sixth day Of November.
A fire of twigs filed the tepee with
an acrid smoke and rendered the cold
but little less damp. On the pile of
skins upon the frozen ground were
three figures, two men and woman
Both men wore the leathern dress
and moccasins Of the Indian, but In
spite of his dress and darkly tanned
face. it could be seen that one was
white. The woman wore what had
once been a dress such as swept the
garden walks Of Versailles; but II
was now no more than a torn and
muddy rag, her naked shoulders
scratched and torn by branch and

shoulders with it, leering ingratiating-
ly while the Indian scowled. His
high, swarthy cheekbones were
framed by braids of coarse black hair,
plentifully smeared with bears grease
and adorned by the feathers of the

gone, the brows contracting over a
slit that showed a blood-red cavity;
but the other burned with hypnotic
intensity. His heavy lips muttered an

many goldpiece fur We, my dear

evilly.
Toinette looked at him as fright
ened bird looks at a snake, unable to
move; a tear stole from beneath her
lashes and rolled down her wasted
cheek.
Suppose We talk a bit to me
thar's good gal. Come, what's yer
name? Tight-mouthed still, are We?

YEP
The flaps Of the deerskin tent were
drawn aside and the painted face of a
warrior was thrust in. He was drip
ping with sweat though the day was
chilly, and his words were hurried.
Toinette strove in vain to catch an
English word among the torrent OF
Delaware, but none came; she guessed
from the startled grunts from Elkska'
tvs lips that the message was of seri-
Gus portent. Girty, casting glance
over his shoulder, saw the girls in
tense gaze fixed upon them, and
laughed sneeringly.
Here's some news fur ye-thet fine
young man of yours hes he'd his scalp
lifted, he, he, he! Some o. the young
Pottawattamies met up wi him wan
derin' long lost into the woods as ef
he thought he was in Phiiadelphy."
Toinette whitened. The braves who
had brought her into the village of the
Prophet had told Girty, doubtless,
that she had recognized the sick
man in the woods. Had another scout
ing party found Ike and killed him?
She could not know; Girty, seeing her
blanch at his random thrust, giggled
| in triumph. The news which the run
ner had brought was that the army Of
whites was within few miles.
The consultation between the
Prophet and the renegade went on in
cultural whispers. Toinette began to
wonder why the news Of the capture
Of single white man should cause
so prolonged a discussion. Sounds
of unusual activity in the village be-
gan to reach her-a constant patter
of moccasined feet, hurrying by the
tent, the occasional wailing of a
squaw, quickly hushed by an angry
command, the barking Of the NANCY
Indian dogs-an unmistakable restless
ness in the whole camp.
There fell on her ear the faint
sound of drums-distant, measured,
unlike the irregular beating of the
drums of the savage. Nearer and
nearer 1t came, steady, unmistakable
and then, her heart at first refusing
to believe her ears, the shrill and
reckless music of the flies! She be-
gan to thrill with hope in every
nerve; and with an inarticulate sob of
Joy she rose to her knees. The In
dian and the renegade looked up
sharply as she started up; and with
a cruelty that stunned her, Girty
laughed in her face.
"He, he, he!" Thet hain't any
friends o. yourn, my dear! 'Tis q

Malden-they'll make We fine body

perhuman force seemed dragging him
away to rush after the vanished war
party: but as often as he rose fren-
ziedly to his feet, the utter folly OF
attempting Toinette's rescue alone
pulled him down; and at last he forced
himself to turn his back on his last
hope and to bow his head to the duty
nearest at hand.
Through the long nights his lonely
vigils were spent in brooding over the
past. BY day he secured the woods
for food, finding a wealth OF purple
clusters of the wild fox-grape, Wits
labrusca, the muscadine; sometimes,
seeing the busy cloud Of wild bees
swarming high overhead, he smeered
his face and hands with wet clay,
climbed laboriously to their strong
hold, and rifled their rich masses OF
dripping honey; sometimes finding a
store of nuts, forgotten by the chat
tering squirrels; sometimes succeed
ing in bringing down black grouse
as It drummed and strutted on res
onant log. Thus eking out their scanty
store of dried venison, he kept life In
Blackford's body through twelve days
of agonized watching.
And at last the fever and the stab
bling pain In Ike's side vanished under
the healing of the forest.
There came day when David,
raunt and weak from starvation, bent
over Ike and felt the hot tears yelling
ND unconsciously; and even as ne
watched, Ike's eyes opened and looked
up at him with all delirium gone.

The tale Of his long delirium was

Lessons Drawn From
East St. Louis Riots

East St. Louis Riots
 THE race riots in East St. Louis,
 H which eliminated Monday night in an orgy of murder and pillage, were due primarily to economic causes. Bring the southern negro into competition with white labor in the north and clashes are sure to result The working classes regard him as an intruder who has come to take thelr jobs away from them. This Tn ltsen is enough to inflame the smoulderlng hatred of northern labor, but the idea that the negro may be found useful as 9 strikebreaker is intolerable to union men.
 There is also strong race antlp- athy which southern negroes are not familiar with-a feeling that leads to outrages committed against inoffen- sive blacks who are guiltless of any crime. Southern blacks who suppose that there is social equality in the north are destined to have bitter awakening to the true status of af- fairs. The south has not always dealt fairly with the negro, and that is the fault of the worst element in the south, whose acts have brought re- proach on the better class of south erners who have never countenanced mob violence except when wrongs were committed against white women, and even then, while recognizing that the provocation to take the law into their own hands is very great, the majority of southern people would prefer that the criminal be legally ex- ecuted, provided that justice is meted out to him swiftly.
 For years well-meaning persons in the north have attempted to solve the race problem for the south and have made mountains out of mole hills. Hundreds and thousands of prosper ous negroes in the south, farmers, business men and professional men, who are respected by their white neighbors, disprove the oft-made as- sertion that the southern negro is de- nied opportunities for advancement.
 The migration of large numbers of negroes to the north has given that part of the country an opportunity to study the race problem at first hand. The answer is found in the wanton brutality with which negroes have been treated in East St. Louis.

 After talking with President Shelburne and members of the faculty, after look ing into the busy classrooms and after mingling with the students I came away feeling that a great work was being quietly done on the outskirts of busy Birmingham that would, in the years to come, do it more real good than many noisy and transient conventions.
