- All of our subscribers forgot me
last week. They made me several
good promises. The paper cannot run
unless we get the money. Please pay
up. We as a race will have to learn
that am enterprise started' among us
must be supported. I heard a colored
man say the other day that the whites
were not pressing the colored people.
I think different There are a great
many of our people who do not care
for themselves, but any colored man
that cares for his race ran feel the
effects of the pressure. We have edu
cated men and women and some
money, and yet they are hindered from
their rights as citizens. Some of these
things are brought about by aur own
actions. Don't forget what we said
last week.

Pettis. G. A. Clay, and F. L. Lewis, the
following question was answered and
proven by the scriptures by Gertrude
McDonald: "Was Paul at Epphesus
when Appollos was. and If so, did
Paul see Appollos?" While collection

Thou. God of My Salvation." "Oh,

SNOWBALLS.
The beautiful snow has Its seamy
Ida.
. It's a cold day when some people get
right.
Ventilation is Rood for crowded
purses.
Get together everybody; In union
there Is warmth.
A warm heart may be a great com
fort to many cold bodies.
A cold snap Is not the kind of a
snap the poor are looking for,
High prices and low temperature
Nobody ever froze to death hustling
around to keep somebody else from
freezing.
These are not tho days and nights
when the motorman earns his bread
by the sweat of his brow.
It is really remarkable how big a
load of cold a very little child of the
streets can stand up under.
This is not a propitious moment to
take up a church collection for the
heathen living in the tropics.
An English sparrow ought to die,
but kill him with a brick; don't let
him starve to death in the snow.
On these slippery pavements give
your horse a chance instead of a lick.
He wasn't born with eteel shoes on.
Though a cat have nine lives, yet
may she give them all up on the
frozen back fence In nights like these.
This is the time when the real econ
omizer will give some poor devil a
quarter to shovel off the snow instead
of doing It himself.
And let us not forget those also
who have to take the street cars night
and morning. They starve not, neith
er do they freeze, yet Solomon in all
his glory was not a ride like one ot
these. W. J. Lampton In New York

PENN SCHOOL SEWING CLASS.
It may not be generally known that
. ! at the school located In the southern
part of the city there is a large sew
ing class, composed of all the pupils
of the school and conducted by a num
ber of wealthy white ladles living In
that section of the city. The object
of this class is to better fit our young
people for some of the duties that
fall upon them by and by. Girls at
tending the high school are admitted
and instructed along with pupils of the
grades. MXich Interest Is manifested
In the work by both pupils and teach
ers. Principal Harris Is hopeful that this
may be the means of enrolling so large
a number of pupils that the Board of
Education will build a new school In
stead of the old shack now In use.
The Nebraska Clothing Co. of this
city, under Its present management. Is
realizing a rapid and steady growth
In trade. Its method of business has
always been a source of pleasure to
its many patrons, all ot whom are treat
ed with great courtesy and their wants
receive tho strictest attention.
The big building accupled by the
Jones Dry Goods Co. Is always crowd
ed with anxious buyers. The manage
ment spares neither expense nor pains
in its effort to render comfort to the
buying public.

"we import 9.000 tons of toys every

when the children receive th" toys
they credit them to Santa Claus and
when they are old enough to give us
the credit they don't care for toys."

three, times in the same day, and prob
ably, hold the record. Then went to
KloyOshur to get married and after
getting a license were united by the

be well It J. M. Clraham, Probate judge

sixteenth of an inch larger, allowance
having been made tor the fact that
owing to au optical Illusion, the letter
"o" always looks smaller than the
neighboring letters. Judgment was
given for the sign makers.

A NATION OF APPLE-CATERC.
American People Heavy Consumers of
the Succulent Fruit.
The latest estimate places the total
number of apple trees of bearing age
In the United States at something over
two hundred millions. This Is nearly
three trees to every person. These
trees yield more than one hundred
and seventy-five million IiiikIicIh. Not
all these apples are consumed it
home, for In years of full crop more
than three million bushels go abroad.
Yet, the apples kept at home are more
than two bushels for every adult, and
child. We are a nation of apple-eaters.
This tact may not be to our cred
it, however, when wo remember that
a good part of all these apples are
Hen Davis and other kind that a re
fined and cultivated taste would not
choose for Km dessert. Yet probably
hall our people never raise an apple;
and. of the half who do raise them, but
a small percentage, grows for market;
and of those who grow for market,
only a part make, a pnfil from the
business. Vet there is money In ap
