Homeless Children

In the light Of the great question
being agitated at present, that of
conservation, we desire to call atten-
tion to the most valuable asset Of the
State or Nation, that Of Citizenship.
Every child born into the world has
right to demand Of the State or Ma
tion square deal and an opportunity
to acquire a proper conception Of
life. No place is so adequate and
conducive to such results as home
life. and may | say that of farm life.
It has long been recognized fact
that the open field and country is the
source of our stalwart citizenship.
Hence the effort on the part Of the
Tennessee Children's Home Society to
place children, more especially tha
boys, in well regulated country homes
II you are farmer, could you do a
better thing than take little home
less boy and give him the proper
home training and acquaint him With
the farm industry, and with this give
him education. and at the same time
brighten and make your home more
cheerful? This Society has in its
Receiving Home between thirty and
forty children. most of whom are
boys, ranging in age from tiny in
fants up to seven years. These are
exceedingly bright and well favored
children, with plenty of energy to
make fine men. We consider that no
greater work than this can be done
toward the conservation Of the great.

write little better piece than the
above; it is this:
Little woman hourly sitting. some
thing for soldier knitting; what in

you're now making behold a bullet

in that garment, slowly dying, and

hero daring shall that very thing be

give life that other men may live; he
may braver WELD the saber as tribute
to your labor, and for that which you
have knitted, better for bis task be
fitted. When the thread has left your

NO BLACK BLOOD
IN THE "CREOLE'
Term Observation-Disclosures
French and Spanish.

(Julian Street in Golfers Weekly
Harris Dickson, who knows a great
deal about New orleans, declared in
an article published some years ago
that outside Lower Louisiana the word
Creole" is still misunderstood and
added this definition of the term: "A
person of mixed French and Spanish
blood, born in Louisiana"
If any misrepresentation as to wheth-
er or not a Creole is a white person
still exists that misunderstanding is
believe, to be traced to the doors of an
old time cheap burlesque theater in
Chicago where the late impreSsario,
Sam T. Jack, put on a show in which
mulatto women were billed as "a gal
axy of Creole beauties This show
travelled about the country libeling the
Creoles and doubtless causing many
persons of that class which attended
Sam 4. Jacks shows to believe that
Creole means something like quad
room" But when the show got to
Baton Rouge the manager was waited
upon by a committee of citizens who
said certain things to him which
caused him to give pup his engagement
there and cancel any other engage
ments he had in the Creole country.
True, one frequently hears references
| in New Orleans to Creole mammies
and Creole negroes" but the word
| used in that sense merely indicates a
negro who has been the servant OF
| Creoles, and who speaks French
''gombo French the curious dialect is
called.
| The French spoken by cultivated
| Creoles bears to the French of modern
| France about the same relation as tht
| current English of Virginia does tt
| that of England. Creole French i:
