THE OLD TIMEY MOOElt.
Within the days of I'seterbo an interest
ing figgcr
Was one whom everybody liked, the
good old fashion nigger.
Beside the negro dude today, with lemon
colored chocs,
With slick store clothe, a pcckled shirt
and hide brimful of boose,
There's some who are disposed to think
lint ho might be called a dullard.
This here old darkey, who would cuss if
you should call him "cullud.
It looks to me just like as if the nigger's
had Ins day
And 'long with other cherished things
has got to pass away.
There's some of us who recollect him on
the old plantation,
And who would never swap him for the
present generation.
I know so far as I'm concerned that this
is just tho case.
For I consider him to be tho noblest of
his race,
So here's a little song for him I wish
it was bigger
A song from one who'll always love the
good, old timey nigger.
The nifger of the slavery days, who took
the cows to "parsler.
At the break of day, when they were
milked, and then wako up "ole
niarnter,"
Polite as he could be he was, although
his speech was poor;
II is old black face was kindly and his
honest laugh a roar.
At night he'd take us children up, ac
cording to his habit,
Upon his koec, and tell about Br'er Fox
and sly lir cr Kahbit,
Delighted, we would listen and would cud
die, snug and warm,
And growing weary, fall asleep upon the
strong black arm.
He was s mighty band at work, also
good at eating
And how he'd show his appetite at every
big camp tuectinji!
As I just said before, he was only a "oi
gcr man,
And would 'a died had you called him
"Alro American.
For he despised new fangled names and
hilalutin jigger-
God bless his memory, now ho's gone,
tins old ancestral nigger.
He loved us well, and his "ole 'omi
was to us a mother:
In fact, we called her "mammy" then,
me and my little brother,
This nigger ol my childhood days that I
have in toy mind
Was but a common type of those before
the war you d find
I don't believe that with their freedom
and their education
The present race can be compared to ih .t
old generation.
In Dative worth and honesty and all that
makes s man
I am afraid they have declined from this
old Alrican,
Of course there arc exceptions, as there
arc to every ruling,
Regarding some of them who took ad
vantage ot their schooling.
But, all the same, it scums to me there'
something that they lack
Don't think now that 1 want them int
ulaveiy to go hack
Hut, while we're talking, here's this sung
I wish that it was bigger
Which comes from one admirer of the
plain old-fashioned nigger.

KURNEL JACKSON ALLOWED
HIMSELF TO HARBOR UN
JUST SUSPICIONS.
I was riding out from Memphis to Col
Jackson's plantation when I met an old
darkey on the highway who was hobbling
along with painful efforts. As I wasn't
quite sure about my road I asked him if
he knew the colonel's place.
"Kurnel Jackson's plantssbun?" he re
peated. "Yes, sah, I knows dat place
right well. Yo' keep right on to de next
co'ner an' den turn to de right an' go a
mile."
"Do you know the colonel?" I ask
ed. "Kurnel Jackson? Yes sah, I knows
de kurnel like a book."
"He is said to be a great friend of the
colored man."
"Hu! Who say dat?"
"Why, I've heard quite a number of
people say so."
"Yo' has, eh? Jist said he was a great
fiicnd of dccull'd race, did dey? Well,
sab, if Kurnel Jackson am a great friend
of de cull'd race den I doan know it!"
"Perhaps you never wanted anything
of him?" I suggested.
"White man!" exclaimed the old man
as he lifted up his hands, "do yo' obsarve
dis lameness?"
"Yes, you are very lame."
"An' how did I git dis lameness?"
"I don't know."
"Let me tell yo', sah. Two weeks
ago I went down to Kurnel Jackson's
plantashum to see my darter, who works
fur him. I started to cum home 'bout
'leben o'clock at night, an' while I was
walkin' 'long I war' suddenly cotehed in
a b'artrnp I was held in dat trap two
hours, an' dat 'counts fur my lameness.
Dat's de sort of a man de kurnel am
puttin' out b'ar traps to eotch cull'd folks
by de legs!"
"Was that bear-trap in front of the
colonel's meat house?" I asked.
"Yea, sah right by de doah," replied
the old man.
"Then it was set to protect his meat
against thieves, wasn't il?"
"Yes, sah, reckon it wa3, but was I
arter his bacon? No, sah! I war' Jist
gwinc to open de doah an' look in an'
see how much meet de kurnel had on
ban' fur de winter."
"And you explained H atters to the
colonel when he came out to let you out
of the trap?"
"I did, sah. Artcr I'd hollered an'
hoi ered an' was nios' dead de kurnel cum
down an' sot me free, an' what hurt my
feelios de mos' was what he said to me.
Arter I'd 'spluined to him all about it he
hit me seben times wid his cane an' said
dat if he ebcr cotched me try io' to abonii
natc his meat house agin he'd distinguish
mo wid such impetuosity dat I'd nebuir
see anoder well day. Dat's de sort o a
man Kurnel Jackson am, sah-dal's dc

man in New York city. I was a Wall
street banker and the president of one of
tbe largest steamship lines haing a ter
minus io New York I was a clubman
and had no thought of God except as a
God of love. I was taken sick io the
street and was carried home. Previous
to that I had no conviction of sin. I be
gan lo think of my condition. The Holy
Spirit came lo my rescue. Eveiy sin I
bad ever committed was placed before
me. I felt the devil pulling me down to
predilion. I cried, 'God, be mercilull' I
cried all night, and at morning I had a
manifc ta:iou of God. God came to me
and stood at my bedside and pointed up.
and I s iw glory. But before he did this
he exacted a promise that I would lead
a better life. Tbe Lord treated me and
I was well. I began to read the Bible
Sod tried to be good. The Demon ap
petite for liquor was upon me, and three
months afterward I took a drink and for
nine days I was on a spree. I was at
home on a sofa thinking of my sin and
praying to God to forgive me when I
heard a voice say, Marin, Marm, come, I
want you; you are dead; I will now make
you alive.
"For three days I was out of this body
nd in a beyond unseen woild. I talked
with the powers of darkness, with the
angles and with God. I saw something
of what John Bunyan tells in his 'Pil
grim's Progress,' somethiug of what
John tells in the book of Revelation. I
saw iheni with my own eyes. I know
tbut Heaven is real. I know that God
is real. I know that Jesus Christ is real.
I know that hell and hell fire are real. I
would tell you the conversation I had
with the devil and with the angles, but
the Holy Spirit is holding mc back."

iV EXPERT TELEGRAM
LINEMAN MEETS AN ACCI
DENT THAT DISCLOSES HER
IDENTITY.
A Bridgeport, Conn., special says. A
sensation has been sprung by an accident
that befell Charlie Morgan, one of the
expert linemen of a telegraph company
here, yesterday,
Young Morgan, as the lineman was
known, joined the force few days ago.
He was of medium height and was built
slenderly but strong. He had dark
curly hair, a very handsome face, and
personal habits and manners that sugges
ted to his fellow-workersthat he had "seen
better days." He kept aloof from them,
but not in an objectionable way.
As far as the work was concerned he
was the best man on the force. Yesterday
afternoon he climbed a pole in Fairfield
avenue and was titling on the cross trees
making the repairs. He forgot and
touched the trolley wire with ooc band.
Straightway the powerful current shot
through his body. He dropped to the
street like a stone, his right hand terribly
burned. They thought he was dead,
but sent for the ambulance. He was
taken to the Emergency hospital and was
laid upon tbe operating table. The pulse
at the wrist was not noticeable and Dr.
Brenoan unfastened and threw hack the
shirt.
He jumped away in amaiement and
stared at the fine form laid out before
him, at tbe peculiarly curving legs, lo
which were strapped the big iron spurs.
Then he looked at the fsce smooth,
delicate. "Great Scott?" he said. "Send
for one of the nurses! This is a woman!"
They tried all the quick remedies with
out bringing any sign of life. Then they
stripped Charlie Morgan and threw her
into an ice-bath. She revived a little at
once, and in a few moments was recovored
enough to realise that she had been fairly
caught. The matron took charge of her,
and as she rested she told her story.
"My name is Minnie Howard Briggs,"
said she, "and I am a professional. I
can sing in a chorus and I can do a turn
on the trapete. I have done both. Last
winter I was with a show, and when it
went to pieces I found myself a long way
from New York without a cent. I could
not get hold of any money. There arc
only a few things a woman can do to earn
a living, and I couldn't do any of them.
I can't sew. I cin't oook. I can't, or
rather I won't do housework. So I didn't
know what to do."
"But how did you happen lo become a
lineman? " asked the matron.
"Why, they used electric lights in the
circus and I saw them fixing them and
so I got to know a good deal sbout it
Then mv training on the trapese had
given mc the ability te climb about."
After two hours Charles Morgan was
fully recovered except the burned band.
So she said good bye to the matron and
the nurses and doctors who crowded about
her.
"What are you going to do?" asked
Dr. Brennan.
"Oh, I've got to leave town," she said,
laughing and shrugging her shoulders
"I'm caught. They'll discharge me if I
dou't quit. But there is p enly of other
places. I'll ju-t move on I like the
life and I'm going to stick lo it,"
HE KNEW THAT WAS TUE IMPORTANT
PART OF THE CEREMONY.
As during tbe months of October and
November weddioj:s follow each other in
quick succession, it uiiht be well fur the
prospective groom of the coming days to
see to it that he does not make the mis
take that a nervous groom made oot long
since.
Although well awaro of the fact that
the guest all observe the bride and ignore
the groom, nevertheless he is generally
worried and wonders if he will answer all
questions correctly.
At one of the Kansas City widdinga
each detail of the ceremony had been
carefully and studiously gone over. They,
the happy couple, were posiiive that not
a single mistake could occur to mar tbe
stately ceremony in which they were to
be tbe principals.
Tbe expected guests waited in the par
lor decked with costly flowers and vine-
festooned for tbe bridal party to enter.
They came slowly down the stairway,
across the reception room, and at last
stood before the officiating minister.
Sweetly cons iuus was tbe bride of the
solemn service, neivous was the groom as
he stood with eyes gating intently at his
fair bride's pastor.
Aficr the usual kindly words of advice
the pastor commenced the service by ask
ing tbe groom:
lou, hdward, dee tare in the presence,
of G'hI, that you do not know any reason
by precontract or otherwise, why you?
may not lawlully marry Iiouise, whom
you hold by the right hand."
With bis band clasping tenderly tbe
hand of his bride, he murmured, "I do."
Quickly, but in very low tone, the
pastor prompts him by saying, I do not."
Tbe dased groom modestly responded
by repeating the pastor's words, snd not
until then he realised that he had not yet
reached that most pleasing part of the
ceremony in which he was to ssy "I do"
and "do" it properly Kansas City Star.

She is the girl who is not "loo bright

She is the girl who appreciates tl:

She is the girl who is not aggressive

She is the girl who never causes
