I Many Homely Women With for tunes Wish to Wed, Declares i This New Yorker, There are plenty of homely wo men with fortunes who wish lo get married. This is declared by Ralph Herman, thirty years old, of .14 Kiverdale avenue, Y tinkers, New York, who is trying to select the right one to marry. He adver tised in a Yonkers newspaper lor a woman lo become his wife, and in his specifications for a helpmeet slated that he would prefer a home ly one wiih a lot of money, lixtra postmen had lo be sent to deliver the mail received for the adver tiser. Mr. Herman, who is connected with ihe Medical Hebrew, a week ly paper published in New York, declared he wanted a wife with en ough money to set him tip in ihe printing business. ''Two or three that answered my 'ads' have money and are anx ious to marry me," he said. "I want a homely wife who will be practical and stay at home and not think about society." One of the replies Herman re ceived from a Yonkers woman reads : "I have been looking, as I thought, in vain for a man who would appreciate my wealth and forget my homeliness, and in you I think I may find the real partner. You may hold the pocketbook if I may hold your heart. You will never meet another whose homeli- i ness compares wmi mine, ino man has ever held my hand be cause he did not know the value of it. I am impatiently awaiting an answer from my heart's de sires." New York Telegram. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S C ASTO R I A DIDN'T Nlil-I) ONI:. Governor Miller, of Delaware, remarked not long ago that even book agents sometimes fail in achievement through unforeseen misunderstanding. "An affable agent of this sort ap proached a Texan whose record he had previously acquainted him self with. " 'Colonel," said he, "those are mighty tine boys of yours.' "'The finest ever, stranger,' acquiesced the colonel. 'The fin est in Texas.' " '1 reckon you buy ihem any thing they want !' " 'Why, sure, stranger, I buy them anything they need, whether they want it or not.' " 'Then, colonel, let me sell you a cyclopedia for them. There's nothing else that will benefit them so much.' The colonel looked at the agent in astonishment. " 'Why, stranger, said he, 'them boys of mine don't need no cyclo pedia. They ride mules.' " l.ip pincott's.

Declares Thut The Public Speak- er, Whether White or Itlack, j Who does About Speaking on j This Vital Ouestion, Must Have j Warm l:eet and a Cool Mead, j The Rev. A. W. Puller, 1. 1.. D., , a Virginia negro by birth, but now pastor of the Calvary liaptisi . church, of Boston, Mass., present ed the race question in a h ank and most sensible view at the Colored Baptist church in Salisbury. The i address was one of the few deliv ! cred by negro speakers that is ! helpful to all sections and insulting j to no section of the country. We give below a few extracts from the ' address: "The public speaker, no matter ! whether white or black, who trav- ! els this country today speaking on the race question, must, if he is to i bless humanity, have warm feet and cool Head. I his country would be a thousand times better off today than it is if most of the so called race speeches had never been heard. "I hope none of my friends will fall out with me tonight because I do not say things which most of your race men have said. I am saying the things which I am sure will hasten the day of perfect and righteous and manly harmony be tween the white and colored races. For years we have dwelt on what the white man owes us, nothing has been said about what the negro owes the white man and especially the white man in the South. "I hope tonight to show the while man that we do not belong to that class of beings who eat ail the oats out of the keg and then kick the brains out of the man who gave to us the oats. "The negro is indebted to the South theoretically and practically. He is indebted to the South first for delaying the birth of slavery in this country. The South opposed the admission of slaves. It is true that Georgia and South Carolina favored the early admission of slavery, but Virginia and the ruling Southern Slates opposed it and it was only because the New F.ngland I and some of the oilier Northern : States wanted the Constitution ! adopted that they joined with those ; States in adopting the constitution j which admitted slavery. President i Jefferson said that he trembled to think of what slavery would bring upon this country. Secondly, we i are indebted to the South for the , early death of slavery. I lad the i Seuth adopted the compromise of : the North, slavery would have been here today. Thirdly, we are indebted 10 the South practically for an open door 10 the temple of labor. The South is the only flace where the negro is allowed to work at almost anytmng ne Knows now to do. Of the seven hundred mil lions of dollars which the negro has amassed in America, eighty j per cent, has-been earned in the1 places where the Southern white j man has allowed the negro to work. X'e are indebted to the South fourthly lor the elementary training which most of us have. Nowhere does the organic law of the Nation compel the South to build school houses and furnish books and teachers for us. But the South has spent many millions of dollars for education of the ne gro youth and if we continue to show signs of appreciation for what has been done we believe that what they have done will be as nothing compared to what the South will do for ihe negro. We feel sure that with increased ap preciation of what has been done for us and with increased reality among our own race it will not be long before we will not have to ask Northern philanthropists for a pen ny for education. " w e are indebted fifthiy to the South for most of the church prop erty that we have. How many ne gro churchs have been built without the aid of the Southern white man? None that 1 know of. We are in debted to the Southern white man for much of the pure religious ideas which have shaped our lives. "Let us cease talking about so cial equality with the other race when we know we don't practice it among our own selves. What the negro race needs is not social equality but heart purity. Let us labor to get home land; rear better children; be truer to God; do our work so well that within a very short time the jobs now held by foreigners will have been restored If You Eat Something it's a slow process and makes you feet taking a pinch or two oi SIMMONS RFD Z LIVER REGULATOR (THli POWUKR KOKMI It drives out impurities and hiidly dine .nd h;d in tlic M i'n.n h ;ind Ih.w-'N. stimulates the torpid liver ;ind restores n c.ul;ir bowel ni'.Vi nit nl.

If the young colored race in this community would harken to such sound and sensible advice as is given in this speech, there would be fewer crap shooters and pistol toters in the community and a higher sense of honest living and morality exhibited by the negro race. CHANGED IT A LITTLE. A young minister was invitrt to p iss his vacation til the sum nier home of a wealthy member of his ouiireu'ation.
