AFRICANS ARE NOT LAZY
Oar Ideas About a Race and Their
Continent Rased on Misleading:
Information.
Dr. Blyden, the learned African publi
cist, resents the charge that the native
African Is laxy and needs a lot of wives
to work for him. He says that a hun
dred steamers are constantly visiting the
African coasts to take away the produce
the native has created, not by the help
or supervision of the white man. Steamers,
he says, do not lie In west African porta
for days landing cargo as presents to
worthless men who give nothing in return
Any one who reads the newspapers now
published In tropical Africa knows that
there Is good foundation for Dr. Blyden s
protest. The old conundrum, "Will the
native African work?" Is out of date. We
read that In southern Togo ths natives
have raised 18,000 tons of ma lie for ex
nrt and sold It at a price so cheap that
'n spite of land transport to the sea and
the long ocean Journey the grain com
petes with northern malxe In the European
market.
The native planters of southern Nigeria
raised only 600 bales of cotton In 1903. but
the crop grew to 6,000 bales In 1908, snd
the prediction Is that In two years mora
they will be producing 40.000 bales. The
statistics of the British gold coast show
that in 1300 the value of the cacao grown
on native plantations was 1125,000 and
that In 1908 the native crop was sold for
more than ll.AOO.000.
Accordtng to the Deutsch Ostafrlkanlsche
Zeitung th) native coffee plantations !n
German Knst Africa, without the Invest
ment of a dollar of European capital, are
producing a third of the total crop. The
blacks along the German coast of Victoria
Nyanxa In 1906 brought to the two ship
ping ports of Muanga and Bukoba on the
lake ninety-six tons of rice. !,R17 tons of
peanuts, 9R5 tons of hides, 130 tons of wax
and other products worth altogether S700.0O0,
and these native products were sent over
the Uganda railroad to the sea for export
to Europe.
It takes downright hard work and plenty
of It to raise such crops and carry them
to market. A great mat y of cur Ideas
about Africans and their contentment have
been very etude and misleading. Not long
ago the Germans were talking of the need
of a compulsory labor law in German East
Africa, but today we are told that the
natives are coming scores of miles to
apply for work on the extension of the
Dar-es-Salaam railroad. New York Sun.
SERVANT GIRL A HEROINE

Four burglars entered the house of Mrs.
Mary Alburger, at Ridge avenue and Hunt

o'clock on the morning of September 16,
each man with a red handkerchief tied over
his face. One of the burglars went to the
room of Nellie Burns, a servant, ruhl
a revolver against her forehead and told
her if she cried out he would blow her
head off.
Miss Burns Is not one of those women
who faint, and she coolly said to the burg

know how you are going to get out."
"What do you mean?" whispered the
burglar.
"Why. we have a watchman and a spe

you are in a bad fix."
The burglar then started to go Into the
front room, where Mrs. Alburger was
sleeping, but the girl stopped him by say

PASSING OF THE YANKEES
Few of the Real Stork Left and a
Total Disappearance Not
far Distant.
Ror(ent census Investigations, ' together
with the reault of genealogical researches,
have brought to light the surprising fact
that the real Tankee is fast disappearing.
Like his predecessor, the American Indian,
this original stock of the first white set
tlers In New England, is passing, with thla
difference, that while the Indian has been
eliminated the Tankee is being absorbed.
Abroad, particularly In England, the cus
tom still holds of referring to all Ameri
cans as Yankees, and this accounts for
the survival of a term which will soon
have no teal application. The day Is not
far distant, it would seem, which will mark
the last of the real Yankees, when a chron
icler may tell of their passing as Cooper
told of the last of the Mohicans.
Indeed, the dtsapearance of the real Yan
kee from New England Is in many ways
similar to the disappearance of ths Indian.
Each race In turn, after dominating a very
large territory, centered more and more In
one small district. With the red men of
New England this was the territory on
which King Philip made his last stand;
with the Yankee It Is 'ape Cod.
On Cape Cod, Indeed, the Yankee Is still
to be found. It was there that he first
settled, and It seems likely It Is there that
he will last survive. For more than two
hundred years this sandy spit of land has
been the center of Yankeedom, generation
following generation with less change in
all that time than has occurred in the last
two decades.
It was at Provtncetown that the Pilgrims
landed nearly three centuries ago, so that

stock. Indeed, it Is only of recent years
that Cape Cod has felt the encroaching
tffect of modernity. From this sea-washed
stretch of land the early Yankees sailed
forth to cover the world of trade with their
fleet of clipper ships, Just as their forbears
did from the "tight little Island" on the
opposite side of the Atlantic.
These original Yankees took to the sea
like young ducks, almost as soon as they
were able to leave their mother's wing.
They manned and officered the little h me
built merchantmen, which sailed from Bos
ton and the New England ports In the
colonial days. The infant navy of the col
onies in the revolution was alive with them
In every sense of the word. During the
war of 1R12 scarcely an able-bodied man
remained in a cape village; young and old
they were afloat, either In the regular ser
vice or on privateers, to harass the British
flag on the high seas.
Thereafter, from the close of that con
flict through the civil war and until the
late seventies, wherever an American ship
was cruising and that was In almost every
sa Its skipper, mates and crewmen were
likely to be Cape Codders, born and bred.
Later In life, if they escaped the perils
of storm and wreck, and mutiny and hos
tile natives, they become shipowners.
Then they maintained, some of them, of
fices In Boston or New York or New Bed
ford, and their fleets sailed forth and came
home laden. The foundations of some of
America's greatest fortunes were made In
this way.
But whether fleet owners or mere sea
captains, they one and all cherished a love
for the sturdy sand spit which had ben
their home and Intended aome day to re
turn to It and settle down. That they did
this the hundreds of handsome, substan
tial dwellings on the cape now testify. It
Is a curious fact that in the old days there
was scarcely a house on the main street of
a Cape Cod village which was not the home
of a "captain" somebody or other.
That was Yankeedom as It used to be.
But Cape Cod has changed greatly in the
last quarter of a retury. Its sons no
longer go to sea. There are a few steam
ship captains In active service and a few
a very few skippers of Calling schooners.

POWDER PUFF STARTS ROW
Indiscreet Preacher Provokes an E
Itloalon that Blows tj
Ills Job.
When the Rev. J. H. Moore, pastor of
the Christian church of Taylorsville, Pa.,
Hacked card playing among male members
of his church the girls thought It great
fun, but when In last Sunday night's ser
mon ha attacked the powder puffs in the
same sentenoe with cards there was a row
which almost blossomed into a riot In the
church. Next day the minister announced
that he would resign.
The phrase from the pulpit which caused
the explosion was, "I would as leave have
a blacksnake In my house as a deck of
cards, and I have my own private opinion
of any woman who uses a powder puff."
But the pastor got no farther.' At least
half a dozen young women were on their
feet expostulating against such talk from
the pulpit, and the minister was compelled
to desist from his attack and finish his
sermon along lines more safe. So Intense
has the fee lis g become that the Rev. Mr.
i Moore decided to l?ave the congregation.
The young women whose powder puffs he
attacked are raising by subscription suffi
cient money to "pay the hateful thing the
two months' salary due him and let him
go."
The minister narrowly escaped mobbing
at the hands of Indignant members of his
congregation, who assert he has gone
farther than the laws of the church permit.

STANTON, Neb.. Sept. 25. (Special.) At
the ripening of the conference this morn
ing BNhop Mclntyre talked for an hour and
fifteen minutes, giving Incidents of his life,
showing how he went from a brick layer
to the bishopric, saying he had never
snusrht any church or pulpit, but went
where the powers sent him. The first year
in his ministry he received a salary of JJ50
and from that small country pastorate he
was paslor of the second largest Methodist
church in the world. He also said he never
pulled wires or strings to get a better ap
pointment. During the day it was plainly
reen that the ministers were not "corner
ing" their presiding elders nor seeking
their "own appointments."
At the business session the bishop an
nounced the transfer of Rev. F. M. S'sson,

LOCATING A ROCKY CATAPULT
How a Lisping Engineer in Militia
Camp "polled the "port of
Klotlnsjr Miners,
One ef my friends who Is a member of
the peace society Is greatly disturbed over
the Invention of Hudson Maxim's new
rolseless gun. He does not fear it half so
mucii because of Its possible u.e In war
fare aa of Its value to assassins.
"What chniice has any of our kings or
presidents got if this gun Is to be Intro
duced?" he was worrying yesterd-iy. "Just
give an anarchist one of these guns and
he can sit at an upstairs window and pick
off reigning sovereigns as they riie along
the highways and no person will ever be
any the wise--."
Which Just reminds me of a playful trick
a bunch of rioting Pennsylvania mlneis
once played on the troops who had been
called out to quell them. The miners had
a cheerful habit of getting after the tr-ops
after dark. They would hike awav up th"
mountains somewhere above the camp, se
lect a good, springy sapling, and use It
for a catapult to bombard the mark with
stones all night long.
