Dr. Wushlnfrtou said the occasion
was unique In his life and too enjoy
able fur him tu express his apprecia

that his race had progressed when It
had become possible for him to apeak

Mrs Vlllard said that previous to the
meeting Ir Washington had said to
her thut hr futher must havw been a
very stern, (evre mun She said that
she wunted to disabuse the public of
that Idea. "My father used fltroug Ian
Ruage. perhaps," she said, "because the
occasions were hucIi aa demanded It.
Hut he waa buov-ant, ciieerful, gentle,
unselfish and ready to do anything for
unybody, regardless of creed or color.
"Mrs. Vlllard lauded Lincoln, but aald
that he learned his duty only gradually,
in thut his emancipation of the alaves
waa ut first only provisional and that
hta procuunatlon did not at first apply
to some of the border State. Her fa
ther, she eivld. would be remembered
principally In the yeiua to come not so
much for the causes In which he raised
his voice combatting great WTongs but
because of the manner In which he
faced Issues.
"To-day I appeal to you through
tne voice of my father.'' he said, "for
another cause of abolition greater than
the ubolltlon of slavorj'. greater than
any other ruuse. thut I know, it la the
ubolltlon of war How shall that be
brought about- Simply by using plain
languuge "
Ur Washington reviewed the advance
of the nugro race to demonstrate, that his I

Keeping
a Valuable Secret
The' U. S. Governmentf uses' paper for its' currency
made by a secret process from the very finest materials.
This paper is used exclusively for making legal tender.
It is tne only paper that will stand the wear.
Library Bureau Standard Cards are also of a peculiar
quality. The process is a secret. No other manufac
turer knows how to make the same kind of stock.
It is used exclusively for making L. B. cards. It is
the only stock that will stand the wear.'
-The superiority of L. B. Standard 'Cards naturally
makes them cost a trifle more per thousand than
ordinary cards. They are worth it. A large user
found that each card cost about one-fifth of a cent,
while the cost of writing it .up was approximately
twenty-five cents. A card representing an invest
ment of that amount should have the longest possible
life and the quality to resist wear. All L. B.
Standard cards have just that.
We have also any quality of card for any land of
record. Ten grades and ten prices Whatever your
requirements, whatever the price"!,. B. Cards are
right. Why not send to usto-day for estimates
and samples?
