Mrs. Mary Church Terrell is the best known of the women of the colored people. Her experience with Taft on the Brownsville affair will therefore deserve and command a wide circulation. Mrs. Terrell went to see the secretary of war In regard to the discharged soldiers it was a busy time for he was just starting on a long journey. "What do you want me to do?" asked Taft. "All I want you to do Mr. Secretary, Is to withhold the execution of the or der to dismiss the soldiers without honor until they can have trial." replied Mrs. Terrell. "All you want me to do. 'is to withhold the execution of that order. Is that all you want me to do?" inquired Mr. Taft, with such emphasis on the word all, that I realized for the first time what a tremendous request I had preferred and how difficult It would be to change the status of the soldier's cause. When I had finished Mr. Taft replied with an intensity I shall not soon forget," I do not wonder that you are proud of the record of your soldiers. They have served their coun try well. "Less than half an hour af ter I had left Secretary Taft, he had cabled the president who was on his way, to Panama, that he would hold execution on the order. I shall never cease to be grateful to Mr. Taft for the effort he made In the colored sol diers behalf. I know that when he withheld the execution of the presi dent's order for thirty-six hours, he did what no other cabinet officer has done since the Declaration of Indepen dene was signed. So far as I have heen able to ascertain no other cabinet

officer has ( withheld an order thirtysix seconds. The Interest he manifested in the colored soldiers was" not the flowery words of a politician, uttered to serve personal ends but was the genuine expression of an honest, generous hearted man, who meant what he said and who intended to do what he could In their behalf. The effort he made was commendable and it required great courage too." We wish that this statement by one of the most representative members of the colored race could reach all those who have not been well informed of Secretary Taft's attitude on the question. It is simply another case of Taft's great heartedness and his judicial and unprejudiced attitude on all subjects.

1608-1908. In 1608 a Frenchman named Champlain with a few Indians in canoes came to a narrowing in the St. Lawrence river and made a settlement named Quebec. No one who has read Francis Parkman's delightful histories dealing with the early settlement of this country can fail to be impressed with the romance of the situation. He who reads must admire the gallantry, the indefatigable efforts and the marvelous courage and hardships of the French exporers. Nor as he reads on and on, ever fascinated by the narrative can he fail to see the tragedy of that great struggle of the French against the English. It is the real North American drama. At last the two generals, Montcalm and Wolfe, dying on the Plains of Abraham beheld that the struggle was over, Wolfe had been struck with a line in Gray's Elegy, "The" paths of glory lead but to the grave," and he died with them on his lips. But let us see if it did "lead to the grave." The main difference between the French and English had been that the English were for development, while the French for purposes of trading wished to keep it a wilderness. If Canada had been retained by the victory of Montcalm we would not have seen material progress there today. For now Canada has six millions of Inhabitants. The foreign trade has increased to the remarkable sum of $246,000,000; imports $294,000,000, and the national revenue is about $80,000,000, which would cause many a foreign country to look green with envy. And so as the Prince of Wales stands upon the Plains of Abraham at the dedication of the monument to Wolfe and Montcalm, he can truly think that England has more than justified herself in the campaign which she waged during the French and Indian war. Wolfe was wrong in that his "path of glory" did not "lead to the grave," but to the opening up of a country which was not to be dedicated to the use of fur bearing animals, Indians and roving French traders, but to men who wanted to use the land and make homes for themselves and their children. ARE YOU FOR RIVERDALE? Everybody who is really interested in Richmond is interested in Riverdale. Any effort to improve any section of the two improves the rest of the town. That goes without saying. The progressive citizens of the city may well not only take notice but help. The best thing about the movement is that the people of the section are behind it, else nothing could be hoped for. They are the ones who are most interested and should take advantage of the experience of other cities. Not long ago in an eastern manu facturing village the people determined that something was the matter. They set to work and cleaned up the town. They cut the grass and picked up the papef, they planted flowers, they took down the signs and bill boards. The town looked so much bet ter after two months, that even the ones who had made fun of the originators of the scheme went to work hard to over take their wideawake friends. Then the people thought they had to live up to their surroundings that they had to be up to the minute themselves. But it they had known it, the change had already come. Perhaps the most significant thing was the rise in the value of real estate but people didn't think so much about that, they didn't want to sell they wanted to live there themselves. It may very well be that Riverdale can give points In most things to the eastern town just mentioned in a few months. Of one thing we are certain. If the amount of enthusiasm keeps up It will not be long until the other sections of the town will have to awaken from their slumbers. Are you for Riverdale? We are?

GOVERNOR

MAY BE TREASURER Haskell to Be Made Member of Democratic Committee. Guthrie, Okla., July 24. The treasurershlp of the national democratic committee has been tendered to Gov. C. N. Haskell of Oklahoma and formal announcement carrying his acceptance it was stated here will bo made In Chicago when the committee meets for organization there Saturday. Prior to 1 the Denver convention the Bryan forces urged Governor Haskell to take active management of the campaign as committe chairman. This was turned down by Haskell because it would take bJm away from Oklahoma for so long a time, whereas the treasury ship is different. This is said to have been largely responsible for Haskell's decision. A S u ri P HTSEU SYw onuomAw; Judge Goffe'e Play With Bragging Fencing Master. A fencing master appeared in Boston one winter in the seventeenth century and had erected a stage on which he strutted up and down at certain hours, defying any and all to engage in sword play with him. After this had gone on for several days and the man's boasts had become insufferable Judge William Goffe and Edward Whalley, the famous English political refugees, disguised themselves in rustic costume and appeared before the alleged master. Goffe held In one hand a cheese wrapped in a napkin, which he used for a shield, and carried a mop which be bad soaked in muddy water as he passed a puddle. Thus equipped, the judge mounted the stage. The fencer railed at him for his impudence, asked him what business he had there and ordered him to begone. The judge stood his ground. Then the gladiator made a pass at him with his sword to drive him off. The Judge received the sword in his cheese and held it there till he had drawn the mop over the professor's face and smeared him with mud. Another plunge by the enraged maitre d'armes resulted similarly, this time the Judge poking the mop Into his eyes. This operation was repeated a third time. Then the maddened fencing master dropped his ordinary sword and grabbed up a huge broadsword. Thereupon the judge eaid: "Stop, sir! Hitherto, you see, I have only played with you and not attempted to do you harm, but if you come at me now with the broadsword know that I will certainly take your life!" The master was impressed by the firmness with which the Judge spoke, for he dropped the point of his weapon and exclaimed: "Who can you be? You must be either Goffe, Whaliey or the devil, for there was no other man in England that could beat me!" Boston Post HE GOT THE TICKET. A Simple Little Errand That Made a Lot of Commotion. One of the most amusing accidents imaginable happened to an old gentleman in one of our large eastern cities. He was asked to buy a ticket to a fireman's ball and good naturedly complied. The next question was what to do with It He had two servants, either 6J whom would be glad to uso it but he did not wish to show favoritism. Then it occurred to him that he might buy another ticket and give both his servants a pleasure. Not knowing where the tickets were sold, he inquired of a policeman, and the officer suggested that he go to the engine house. So the old gentleman went to the engine house that evening, but there was no one in sight He had never been in such a place before and stood for a moment or so uncertain how to make his presence known. Presently he . saw an electric button on the side of the room, and he put his thumb on it The effect was electrical in every sense of the word. Through the ceiling, down the stairs and from every other direction firemen came running and falling, the horses rushed out of their stalls, and, in short, all the machinery of a modern engine house was instantly in motion. Amid all this uproar stood the innocent old gentleman, who did not suspect that he had touched the fire alarm until the men clamored around him for information as to the locality of the fire. Then he said mildly, "I should like to buy another ticket for the ball, if you please." The situation was so ludicrous that there was n general shout of laughter, and the old gentleman bought his ticket, and the engine house resumed Its former state of quiet Exchange. Smells In Great Cities. The man with a nose always recognizes the small of the place, and he has only to land at Calais to smell garlic. London's smell when the Londoner Returns is Just soot and fried fish. Paris always smells of chocolate and wood smoke. Florence Is violets and sewage. But so soon as you get to Russia the smell is quite different Moscow, the city of fruit that comes from the Crimea, has a special smell of the cranberry (which has various names) In late summer. And you cannot land in St Petersburg without noticing Instantly the smell of the place. London Chronicle. Pyramid. The largest of the Mexican pyramids, that of Cholula, has a base measurement of 1,4SS feet and a height of ITS feet The Great pyramid of Egypt sometimes called the pyramid of Cheops, stands on a base each side of which was originally 764 feet long; but owing to the removal of the coating, it is now only 746 fet Its height according to Wllkenson. was originally 4S0 feet 9 Inches, Its present height being 460 feet New York American.

In the Mexican war Mr. Burton was a member of Company H of Indiana and saw fifteen months of service. In the civil war he saw twelve months' service as a member of Company A, Thirtieth Indiana regi ment. UHAuS A LIufTAnr. Sarcey'a Fearfully Bad Luck With Custodians cf His Books. Franclsque Sarcey had a splendid library,of which he was very proud, and there are many stories told in Paris about the singular fates, comic and tragic, that overtook the librarians who successively looked after the late critic's books. The first was a released convict whe pleaded that to be much among good books would reform him. Sarcey, pugnacious in print was the kindliest of men in practice. He yielded to the plea. Unfortunately his protege carried the ethical cure too far, for one day he decamped, taking with him the best of M. Sarcey's good books. The second was a distinctly minoi dramatist, Debrit by name and debris by nature. He had wcrn himself into an Incurable melancholy by persistent addition to the humorist vaudeville habit Sarcey saw that abstinence from further composition could only be secured If the man had some light occupation with a living wage. He established blm in the vacancy left by the convict A few days later as the critic, returning from the theater, drew his carriage up before his door be beard a smash of shivered glass above him, followed a minute later by what be no longer dared to call a dull thud on the pavement below. The woe begone librarian, wearied of life, had thrown himself out of the window. With his last breath he cursed Sarcey as his murderer. Third in order was one Bernard, a gladsome youth, whose blithe temperament promised relief from the gloom cast by his predecessor. In the height of his glee he pulled out all the books so as to rearrange them in more logical order on the shelves. He stacked them in craggy pyramids all over the floor. But it happened to be the special day of the week whereon Sarcey was wont to have a few of his theatrical friends, male and female, to lunch with him. After lunch a dance followed as a matter of course. Nothing could dismay the librarian. He whisked the pyramids to four walls and joined in the dance. Next day he asked permission to go home and see his mother. He never returned. The pyramids had to be sorted out by Sarcey's manservant and put pellmell on the shelves again. The last librarian was Mile. Blouska, an elderly Polish maiden, who proved an invaluable assistant until she perished miserably in the fire at the charity ball In Paris. INDIAN MARRIAGES. Peculiar Rites of the Hopi and th Navajo Tribes. Marriage among the Topi, a tribe of the Pueblo Indians, is an institution regarding which those most concerned have least to say. When the parents of a girl find it expedient for her to get married, they look up an available man and negotiate with his parents. After the matter has been arranged the principals are notified. The girl goes to the home of the groom's parents and grinds corn for them for three weeks, while the groom makes a kind of sash for the bride. Then one morning at sunrise they both bathe their heads in cold water, which completes the ceremony. There have been instances of the groom's refusing to go through the performance, which has then proceeded without him and been accounted valid, and several weeks later he has yielded and bad his bead bathed. The Navajo ceremony is much more elaborate and impressive, but then the Navajo girls are much nicer. The regular tariff on a Navajo girl entering the port of matrimony for the first time is twelve horses. On the second occasion the tax is nine horses, while subsequent entries are free. This is not purchase money, but Is merely a tribute of respect to a mother-in-law and a token of appreciation of the care and expense Involved In bearing and rearing the lady, a recognition not unworthy of considers tlon by civilized grooms. On the other hand, and deserving of great condemnation, is that law of many tribes, unwritten, but of much sanctity, that a man and his mother-in-law shall never meet after the ceremony. A. W. Dimock In Outing Magazine. Coral Islands. A coral island is sometimes torn to pieces by a great storm, showing that Islands disappear in more ways than one. This happened to an atoll In the Marshall group in 1905, when It happened to be in the path of a terrible hurricane. Waves about forty feet high swept over the hapless 6peck of land, carrying every particle of verdure and every form of life Into the sea, and not a human being was saved. The upper part of the coral was broken off and swept away, and a few days later nothing but the placid waters of the ocean was seen where the atoll had stood. Mutia Artwci-tlaaef.
