THE NEGRO
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Reprint from Chicago American)

Out of the Wilderness out of the night
Has the black man crawled to the dawn of light;
Beaten by lashes and bound by chains,
A beast of burden with soul and brains,
He has come thro' sorrow and need and woe,
And the cry of his heart is to know, to know
You took his freedom and gave it again,
But grudged as you gave it, we white-faced men,
Not all of freedom is being free,
And dangerous paything Is liberty
For untaught children
In vain do you say,
''We gave what he asked for-pace and pay
And right of franchise" All wrong, all wrong.
He was but child to be led along
BY the hand of Love. Has he felt its touch?
Nay you gave unwisely and gave too much,
But you gave not the things that his cropping mind
Was reaching up in the dark to find
They were Love and knowledge.
Oh, infinite
Must be the patience that hopes to right
The wrongs that heavy with age and brought
To the levels of virtues by mortal thought,
And greater than patience must be the trust
In the ultimate outcome Of what is just,
And in and under and through and above
Must weave the warp of purpose-love.
Red with anguish his way has been
This suffering brother of dusky skim
For centuries fettered and bound to earth,
Slow his unfolding to freedoms birth.
Slow his rising from burden and ban
To fill the stature of normal man.
You must give him his wings ere you tell him to fly,
You must set the example and bid him try.
Let the white pay for the white mans crime
Let him work in patience and bde Gods time.
Out of the wilderness, out of the night
Has the black crawled to the dawn of light
He has come through the valley of great despair
He has borne what no white man ever bear.
He has come through sorrow and pain and woe, So
And the cry of his heart is to know, to know.

Story Typical of the South
The story told by Mrs. Arthur can
be duplicated by thousands OF people
who are practically being held in
slavery by the farming peonage sys-
TEN in vogue in that section OF the
country. These people were forced
to leave forty acres OF cotton in which
they held half interest, besides three
months other work at the rate OF
two dollars day. none of which have
they been paid for to say nothing OF
their household goods which was lett

This, she claims, is the reason why she has
had such great success in her work.
The outside of the house shows simply
Colonial farmhouse, the remodeling being
done by her own townspeople, but inside
the decoration has been by her order worked
out by noted artists. This is particularly
true in her workshop, where the prevailing
tone is forest green. The walls are papered
with woodland scenes lighted with cream
colored batiste hangings. This is charming
in design, representing wheat, apples, corn,
and showing a delicate tracery of rushes
and climbing vines. Here in this her den
she spends her morning, either resting in
front of the fireplace, where the fire dogs
are of iron, representing owls, or seated at
her writing table in the alcove, bringing
forth quaint betrayals of the joys and sor-
rows of childhood that have made such an
appeal to the hearts of not only the English
speaking people but the countries overseas.
MORNINGS are given up to writing, but
1Sl as she is not very robust the afternoons
and evenings are left open for social pur-
poses. 1t is very common sight to find her

old harness room having been filled with
shelves on which rests the old china used for
such purposes as this. The old Buxton
Meeting House in the village is of special
interest to her. She attends church there
regularly and in payment for the same opens
the barn for an annual author reading and
concert, charging a small admittance fee.
One cannot mention the old Tory meeting
house without mentioning "the Old Peabody
Pew" in which the friendly intimate rela-
tions of the author and the villagers are
brought out. She says: I'VE have worked
together to make our little corner of the
great universe a pleasanter place to live in
and so we know not only one another's
names but something of their joys and sor
rows" Both the author and her sister are
fond of music and each of them plays and
sings. Every Sunday they help out in the
choir, Mrs. Wiggin playing the organ, and

Here during the summer months she
spends the season with her mother and
writer sister, Miss Nora Smith. Originally.
she occupied the house almost directly op-
posite, but within the last few years she
has purchased this old homestead and re-
modelled 1t to suit her needs, using the
old barn at the rear for musicales, tea par
ties and many good times.
During a recent call she told me that
she loved to come here where all her writ
ing Is done and that she takes up her pen
and resumes her work just as readily as if
it had never been dropped. Then when fall
comes and she steals away for nine months
of social life she let's her brain lie fallow.

Miss Nora Smith, sitting under the trees in
the pine grove, listening to the rustic of the
leaves and the song of the birds perched
high up in the branches, while the active
brain is busy planning what shall come next
in the book.
She is the idol Of the country folk, who
come for miles around that they may talk
over old times and learn what has happened
since they last met.
The barn at the rear OF the house is

reality a large music room with a rustic
platform at one end. new floor was laid
and many windows inserted that it might
be used for social purposes, and when the
church was done over a few old fashioned
settles of weathered wood, toned by time
to a silvery hue, were added. Nothing else
was touched. There still remain the ancient
rafters and walls just as they were a CEN
tury ago. The lighting is by lanterns, some
of them very curious, being especially
painted for the owner by the japanese, and
they bear the crest or coat of arms of the
artist.

expert on the guitar, and has composed
many songs with words for both kinds Of
instruments.
Unlike many writer's. Kate Douglas
~ Wiggin sets herself daily task and at
times turns out 20. 900 words n ten days, or
rather one half that time, as she never

to whether she considered it more profitable

answer came, Without doubt, books for

can home is. disintegrating Homes are not
made the center of interest. Amusements are
found in commercialized places instead of in
the family circle. The average family does
not read any more. People buy books and
do not read them. They buy magazines and
throw them away. General unrest is caused
by the failure of the home
Education would do much to prevent de-
linquency, in Mrs. Van Wrinkles opinion,
but attractive homes would do more.
Girls under seventeen years of age come
under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court
Cases of all girls more than seventeen years
old are handled by the Womans Bureau.
1t is the sentiment of the bureau that all
girls under twenty one years of age should
be under jurisdiction of the juvenile court.
They thus would be removed from the in
fuences of degenerates and criminals. while
first offenders would not be subjected to the
curiosity of police court frequenters
The bureau last year found homes for
fifteen girls and positions for fifty. large
number were returned to their homes. Four
of the probatiOners were happily married
In determining the course to be followed

help can be extended.

down what they do and think each day.
They answer certain questions in their
diaries, such as What is your dearest wish
today" and What made you happirst to-
day." Often it is not so much what is
written that which is omitted that gives
the key to the girls inner life. The diaries
include an account of all expenditures.

EASY TO DARKEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and Lustre With Sage Tea
 and Sulphur

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and trou- blesome At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use preparation, improved by the addi- tion of 'tWyeth's s Sage and Sulphur Compound" You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with. it and draw this through your hair, taking one. small strand sat time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, becomes beautifully darkencd, glossy and luxuriant.
 Gray, faded hair, though no dis grace, is a sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attrac- tive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger,
