Life for him was one hardship af ter onther. When a young man he wedt to Paris, there he soon be came one of the most popular nove list of the time, reaching his height of fame by the pr xioction of “Monte Orlsto” in 1844 and “The Three Musketeers” soon after wards. His marriage was not a very happy one, and to soothe his . weary mind squandered his money on riotous living A daughter and” 9oag survived him VENUS vs, BUSH’ WOMAN A Tribute for The Negro by Wilson Armbtesd, page 51, Dr. Knox, Who has entered minutely into the stud of Man, says “Strip off the integuments (skin) of Venus, and compare her with a bush woman, and the difference would seem to be very little.—By James Fraction, Denver.

If the Negro has not by usuages and customs of this state held slaves this court will not institute a new species of slavery, and de cree that he can do; and we think to hold Waves, would be to institute that to give the free Negro a right another and a dangerous species of slavery hitherto unknown. The free Negro cannot, in this countiy, base his right to hold slaves upon the principle of conquest. He is not a different race of men who by the sword have subjugated their fel low mfen ; but he finds among the slave population Ws b re them in blood, color, feelings, oducaition and principle; they are the same with him, and have'never been in subjection to him. Another and a strong reason be yond the mere question of policy why the free Negro should not hold slaves, is that between the master and slave there must exist mutual and reciprocal obligations and du ties, the slave owing obedience and fidelity to his master, and t#ie master owing to the slave support and protection. But the Negro is not such a freeman as to extend protection; he is nominally free, almost helpless and dependent on “IT PAYS TO LOOK WELL” MAYO’S BARBER SHOP Ladies and Children’s Work A Specialty —2422 lake Street— * t « t 1 T -- -.-I Classified Telephone Directory Automobiles SHAMES BODY BUILDERS 1906 Cuming Street Cars in very good condition—good rubber, like new. . . i-i Beauty Culturists CHRISTINE ALTHOUSE It Pays To Look Attractive £422 N. 22nd St. WE. 0846 BEER TAVERNS ' RABETS BUFFET I £229 Lake St. JA. 9196 I CHARLIE’S PLACE 1604 No. 22nd St. WE. 4019 BEVERAGES & LIQUORS FREE DELIVERY ~ JOHNSON DRUG CO.

He can hold no office of honor, trust or profit; cannot act as a juror or legislator, cannot make or execute laws. He cannot therefore, in any sense extend to a slave the protection due from a master, having no voice in the making, altering, enforcing or executing the Iaws; and having himself constantly to resort to the protection of the whites. We think, therefore, that neither usuage, policy, nor the necessary relations of master and slave, will permit free Negroes in this state to hold slaves. Humanity revolts at the idea of a parents selling his own children into slavery.

An author has well said: “Poems are made by fools like us. Only God can make a tree.” But it is a wonderful thing to be permitted to help our creator by planting trees. Trees do not only help preserve the soil and support moisture; they aro symbols of life itself. All of us should desire to bo trees for the sheltering of fel lowmen. One of the best friends to man kind, on a hot day in July and August, when one is walking a hot dusty road, is the shade of a largo tree. This tree is useful for shade only when it is alive and full of loaves. We can be comfort ing to our fellowmen only when wo are full of life and sympathy. The Bible speaks of Christiana aa “trees of righteousness”, the planting of the Lord.” It says that "Che trees of the Lord are full of Sap.” As we plant trees thU Arbor Day, left ua think of ourselves as performing the same deeds of comfort and usefulness that we hope tiheso trees to give. -0O0 City Union of the Ushers and Usherettes ■ ■ i—■ i , a Jack Hall, reporter The instruction Ushers meeting that was held at the Urban League last Friday wa*, well attended and much benefit was enjoyed by all present. As the old saying goes every body has his day. Well, last Sun day must have been children or Juniors day, because I noticed while making my usual visits in line of duty “The Juniors” seem to haw been officiating in differ ent positions. Mt. Calvary, Junior ushering, Salem, Junior Choir, and how beautifully they sang. Look like your pastor seemed to have been pleased with their *er vioes and spoke highly of them. Sorry I couldn’t have spent the evening with them, but I’ll come again some time. Of course, Pil grim always have two Junior choirs working with the Senior Choir, but to top the whole thing, [ when I stepped in to Pleasant Green, there I saw the president Miss Henderson, assisted by one cr two of her Ushers had a half dozen or more “Junior Ebtes." Wasn’t hardly large enough to be called “Juniors” in the isles, bedecked with badges and acting like real Ushers. Miss Henderson and her staff of workers deserve much credit for the good work they are carrying on with her Junior herd My attention was attracted to the choir, and there would you be lieve it was a group of young singers as one would want to see any place and acting their part in true form. Much praise should be given the two soloist, Misses (Keys and Standhill for their ren ditions when they sang “Is there Any body Here Who Knows my Jesus.” Why Ithe church fairly locked with applause from the congregation and it was great, I tell you. I am sure Mrs. Makins, their directress must have felt very proud of them. Mrs. Union of the Senior choir could stand to have the Junior take all the honors so in her very pleasing manner rendered a request num ber. “I'll tell it where I go,” which was very touching. Of course you know she has a way of singing that we love to listen to. The funeral services of Miss Dora Marshall of Mt. Moriah’s local was held last Mon. at her church. Many resolution and con dolence were read including one from our own Union. Many ushers were present in uniform to show our last respect to our departed co-worker. The body was shipped to her former home in Ala es corted by a sister and niece.
