the South into Canada, was called.
In England once more, he agitated
strongly for the cause, returning to
America when the North had begun
to view the John Brown raid in a
different light. When war actually
began, he threw his whole weight in
to its prosecution. His slogan was:
Union and Emancipation; Abolition
or Destruction"
Consistent with his policy of equali-
ty, he demanded that colored per-
SONS should be used as soldiers in the
army, instead of merely as servants
and laborers. Northern color preju-
dice opposed it, and Lincoln obeyed
the popular will. Still, Douglass
fought for it, and as the need of
men grew with thousands of white
men deserving the North, he was
forced to accept them, at last.
1t was these colored soldiers, as
was said, who turned the tide of bat
tie in favor of the North.
Douglass helped to raise the 54th
and 55th Massachusetts, Regiments,

among the first to enlist. He, him.

to Douglass, even some of the Ne

Nor did he desert the lecture plat

Phillips and Theodore Tilton, he

had become, in himself, the most
effective argument against slavery,
and won converts by the thousands.
The pro-slayery party hated MIN
more than anyone else.
Another who was greatly inspired
by Douglass was John Brown. Ine
latter was frequent visitor to his
home. When John Brown was about
to make his raid on Harpers Ferry,
he begged Douglass to come along,
but Douglass realizing that it would
be an attack on the federal govern
ment rather than on slavery, refused.
Most likely he also realized the hope
lessness of the attempt.
Nevertheless the raid brought him
much trouble and he was forced to
fee into Canada, and thence to Eng
land. His name had been found
among John Browns papers, and al

of the South was to hang all colored
prisoners. AS Horace Greeley said at
the time: Every black soldier now
goes to battle with halter about his
neck"
Douglass insisted that the North
should retaliate on such occasions;
further, that the coiored soldier
should receive the same pay ss the
white, and the same opportunity
for promotion.
Stubbornly he fought for this, and
was q frequent visitor at the White
House. Lincoln thought him much
of pest at first, but as the Negro
soldiers began to prove their worth,
Lincoln learnt to appreciate the wis
dom of his counsels, and in darkest
moments of the conflict would some
times send fer him. On one occasion
he sent for him to ask what was the
best means of getting the slaves to
desert their masters as he felt that
that was the quickest way to demon
alize the South.
At Lincoln's second Inauguration,
Douglass was, however, barred at the
door because of his color. A gentle

Yesterday we stood before an old
theater about to be wrecked to make
way for a modern structure. For At
years it has served the patrons of art.
phantoms of great actors and actresses
are gazing for the last few times upon
the scene of their early triumpEs.
There was time when carriages, filled
with gay, carefree playergoers, stopped
to discharge their burdens, who hast
ened across the pavement to enter the
brilliantly lighted foyer. Lillian Rus
sell was reigning star.
Outside the stage entrance stood an
old man, looking wistfully at the door.
His gray hair was uncut and hung in
strings over his ears, while other
strands protruded from the shadows of
a dilapidated hat.
"See that old guy there" said wise
one. Every day he hangs around that
entrance. Just a nut, guess. They
say he once played part of a mob, years
ago, in the theater. Funny how guy
gets that way"
Soon they are to erase the place,
which is going to be tough on the old
man.

There Is still a host of people who
believe that the old days were superior

regardless of other qualities, for he who
cannot sing simply cannot sing. What
then? Wouldn't it be better and far
more economical of energy on all sides
to accept the fact that there are those
who sing and those who do something
else and go on from there?
The teacher who lays down law that
says, Every child who fails to hand In
a lyric before Monday afternoon will get
zero in English for the week." must be
prepared either to record number OF
zeros for good pupils, to accept work
that is not the child's own effort, to
cause tears and tempers and unhappi-
| ness in many home, or to accept the
! fact that children cannot all write
| lyrics.
Some general rules, some fundamental
principles there are that we can stand
| upon If we do not stamp too hard
| Some general announcements, some
regulations for groups we can make II
we are careful to leave a loophole fol
| the children who must find a way out
and around.
I. am but saying again that there is
| no one law, no one method, no one way
Each must find his own. The best any
! of us can do for a child is to help him
when he needs help, at the time he
needs it, in the way he needs 1t.

but nothing can alter the fact that II
| is his own way and none other will
serve-for him. What may be fine fol

good for him at all. What helped you

Stitches
and Embroidery
By LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

There are two essentials in darnine
edges of the textile deity con-
cealed. The second is not to stretch
the hole, for this makes an uneven and
unsightly spot. 1t also adds to the
amount of needed Stitchery-a matter
of real significance If there are many
stockings to be done In a short time.
To avoid this run a fine thread OF
the darning medium about the hole and
draw it just as tight as the stocking
textile will permit. Frequently a very
narrow seam taken lengthwiSe of the
hose will finish the darning Of a good
sized hole.
If there still remains a hole that
must have a woven filling, run in the
warp-parallel threads preferably in
rows up and down the stocking follow
ing the direction of the stocking weave.
If the darn is worked on the right side
of the stocking these threads must. be
put over the raw edges. If the work
is done on the wrong side of the hosiery.
the threads must be set beneath the raw
edges. In both cases the raw edge
will be worked over on the right side.
When running in the filler over and
under the warp-the threads running
in the opposite direction, and which
were laid first-it is also important to
have them go over the edge for right
side darn and under for a wrong side
darn. When the work is finished there
will be no visible edge of the textile
on the outside of the stocking.
BY deity running few extra darn
ing threads over the raw edges in the
wrong side they will be neatly con-
cealed on that side also, but not so
invisibly as on the right side.
There is discussion among women as
to which is preferable, the right or
wrong side darning, but there is no
hard and fast rule. When 1t comes to
the scanning of hole as first described.
there is no question, for it must be
taken on the wrong side.

A Child.

I am always a little nervous when
some one talks about THE child. 1t
would be so much nearer right to talk
about a child. There are, to be sure.
certain fundamental principles Of child
training upon which many of us agree.
Even there we have room for discussion.
But when body lays down laws for the
children, look out.
In the same family there are two boys
one healthy, hungry, active, the other
underweight, nervous, shy, flnicky about
food, careless of sleep, troublesome to
handle Can you say what helps one
will help the other? No, because 1t
won't. You will have to deal with each
of them as individuals.
