PRAISED. FOOD OF AMERICA
Robert Louis Stevenson Went So Far
as to Pronounce It Heavenly"
Ills Favorite Songs.

Nellie vandegrift Sanchez, in her
book on her sister, the wife Of Robert
Louis Stevenson, has thrown new
light on the author of Treasure
Island" In August, 1879. Stevenson
sailed from England as steerage pas
senger, for this country. From New
York he proceeded at once across the
continent to Monterey to marry Fanny
vandegrift Osbourne. In August, 1880,
he returned to England to present his
wife to his people. Though willing
and brilliant conversationalist-he had
been described as "deuced explana-
tory"-he expressed very few opinions
concerning his first impressions of the
United States. Now we have them.
Stevenson liked our food. In let
ter to Sidney Colvin he said: "You eat
better here than anywhere else; fact.
The food is heavenly" He had hardly
reached Monterey before he told his
friends of the wonderful "little cakes"
he had bought at the restaurants along
the way. He meant baking powder
biscuits. Later he fell in love with
hot tamales and meat stew and red
peppers.
He found the names Of our western
states-Arizona. Colorado-most poetic
The perfume of the pine forest, the
Spanish missions on the Pacific coast
the blue Of the California sky and our
2O-dollar gold pieces he found beauti-
full beyond comparison. He was i'm
pressed by the way the Indians pro-
nounced Latin at church service and
the mechanical cleverness of our wom-
en-. He regarded Francis Parkman as
our best historian. Marching Through
Georgia" and "Dixie" as our best
songs. For "Home, Sweet Home" he
had but little use.

Plucklnq Orange. !. an Art.

Orange gathering and packing is not
such simple business as Is generally
supposed. The trees are high. and the
fruit Is so tender that careless hand
ling at any stage will cause decay to
set in. and through one defective or
ange thousands may be infected and
spoiled. Every orange is taken from
the tree by hand. The pickers stand
on high step-ladders, which enable
them to reach the topmost branches.
Catching the orange in one thickly.
gloved hand, they deftly sever its stalk
with a sharp knife in the other. and
drop It into deep bag slung across
the shoulder. To pluck the orange
away would break the skin and allow
decay to set In. Various devices have
been tried for picking, such as long
handled knife connected with a can
vas chute through which the orange
slides gently to the ground; but hand
picking still holds its own as the one
satisfactory method.

Gordon quietly in voice that not even
Peggy could mistake for q brotherly
tone.
She clasped her gloved hands tightly
in her lap and looked away where

"We've known each other ever since

"Feel anything wrong there?" and

Still Peggy could not find her voice.
There seemed to be something thick,
binding, In her throat. 1t contracted
painfully when she tried to swallow.
IF you can't feel 1t. perhaps you can
hear It," he argued. and gently, ever so
gently for big, brotherly Gordon, he
put his arm around her, silver fox furs
and all, and drew her head in its close
fitting little turban to place where
his heart hammered under her cheek.
"Oh, littlest one," he whispered softly

NEGROES IN INAUGURAL SER
VICE OF KENTUCKY COVER
NOR.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. departing
from its past history elected Cover
nor Morrow, Republican, as the
chief executive of the State. Cover
nor Morrow, true to his promise for
equal justice to all the citizens of
Kentucky had several Colored men
as escorts of honor with the great
number Of white Republicans. The
African Methodist Episcopal Church
of Kentucky presented the Cover
nor with the Bible that was used in
taking the oath of office. The presen-
tation was made by Presiding Elder
G. f. David in the name of the A.
NJ. h. church of Kentucky, just after
the inaugural address. Governor Nor
rows speech was a masterpiece and
is regarded as worthy of the States
history
A tremendous outburst of cheer
ing greeted Governor Morrow when
he arose. Governor Morrows address
required only five minutes for its
delivery. His voice was fully recov-
cred from the strain Of the recent
campaign and carried to the out
skirts of the great throng.
AS the Governor turned to receive
the oath of office, the Rev. G. F.
David, Sr., of Lexington, presented
him with Bible on behalf of the
A. NJ. Il. Zion Church of Kentucky.
In his speech of presentation, the
minister commended upon Governor
Morrow's appeal for divine guidance
in the close of his address and asked
that he read the gift diligently. He
expressed confidence that the Cover
nor will find in its pages strength
to fortify him in all his decisions for

HONESTY OR SELFISHNESS: 4
NATIONAL ISSUE.

Hampton, Va, Jan. DIR. James
Il. Gregg, principal of Hampton In
stitute, in his recent address on "The
Demand for Honesty" said that our
own country, we are told by many
returning travellers, is disliked and
even hated and despised abroad, be-
cause the other nations. who were
our allies so recently, believe that
we are not living up to the reputation
which we had made for unselfishness.
We are not carrying out, as they
think, our promises and our pro-
fessions.
at is not only the Senate of the
United States that is standing in the
way and preventing the Treaty of
Peace from being passed, so as to
permit the governments of the world
to get down to the business of i'm
proving on the treaty wherever it
may need improvement, and the life
of the nations to take up its normal
course again. 1t is not only the Sen
ate of the United States, but there
are others in this country supporting
the Senate and following the same
course of selfishness, when America
had made her name honored and be-
loved throughout the world by her
unselfish, generous participation in
the Great War.
ut will be shameful thing if the
United States comes to be classed
among the nations that cannot be
trusted, that are regarded as dis
honest. For myself, / cannot believe
that this will come to pass. feel
sure that our statesmen will see
the folly of their ways before long
and give this Nation the place which
she ought to have in the world be-
fore the minds of men once more.
Remember Abraham Lincoln.
What was he called? What made
him trusted so widely by the peo-
pie of his time? Because they could
think and speak Of him as Honest
Abe Because they were sure that
he was sincere.
"Why are men reading all they
can read and never ceasing to think
of Theodore Roosevelt? Whether
Whether they agreed with him or
not, they say, Yes, I admire him.
The American people have a place

1t is because he spoke out the truth,
as he saw the truth, regardless of
consequences. Men admire that and
they always will, and they will al
ways stand by the man they are sure
is honest and STRAIGHTFORWARD and
above-board in his dealings, and is
not afraid"
Referring to Germanys downfall,
DR., Gregg said: Honesty is good to
begin with and good to end with.
1t is a very ordinary thing, perhaps,
and a very commonplace thing to-
praise honesty, but the world needs
to give honor and to give praise
exactly there. Think how Germany
has worked her own downfall be-
cause of the lack of honesty in her
statesmen, in her leaders, How she
has permitted herself to be fooled,
deluded, misled, and finally almost
ruined. lust by this one thing-along

WHITE MOB BREAK INTO COLOR
ED SCHOOL MUCH DAMAGE IN
FLICTED.

Asheville, N. c., Jan. 1.-Sheriff
Mitchell left here to investigate
charges that unidentified parties COM
posed of white men and boys broke
into and almost destroyed a Colored
school house at Beaver Dam, 16 miles
from Asheville, and that another
group of white boys fired ON them,
injuring one.
The first outbreak is believed to
have started over a fight between
white and Colored boys.
Another serious outburst occurred
when a group of white boys, it is
alleged, fired shot gun at a group
of children who were on their way
home from school, A little girl was
struck on the leg by some of the
shot, but was not seriously hurt. The
officials have learned the names of
the aggressors, it is said. and prose-
cutions are expected to follow. A
teacher from the school reported to
the county superintendent that every
window had been broken from the
school house during the raid, doors
were torn from their hings, stove
was torn down and other damage in
flicted to the interior of the building.
The vandalism was not discovered
until the next morning, when school
had to be suspended temporarily be-
cause of the untenable condition of
the building. The teachers managed
to secure a stove and boared up the
windows, so that sessions could be
held. They appealed to the county
authorities for financial aid in maxi
ing repairs.
