I THE TOPEKA. STATE JOURNAL, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 24, 1905. 9 .in.. "sf i ! ! J I ! SI H BROTHER GARDNER. ,b.e Colored Race. Is Going Ahead Too Fast. . "My frens," said Brother Gardner at the meeting of the Lime Kiln club the ether evening, "I has on two or three occashuna durin' de past y'ar had sun thin" to say to you on de subject of gitln' ahead too fast, and I am gwine to speak of it agin. I wouldn't be doin' my duty if I didn't. I don't want any of you to git d ideah dat I don't want da cull'd man to git along and injoy hisself. What trubbles me am de fack dat he is gittin" along altogether too fast. It's de way he's plungtu" dat makes me fear fur his future. "I didn't dun throw out no words of caution to you befo' Christmas. I made up my mind to sit back and watch for a. monf er two, and I was hopeful dat at least half o" you would display a leetle common sense on de occashun. To Bay dat I was disappointed don't half express it. It was de cap-sheaf of a y'ar of wild extravagance. It was not only so wid members of dis club, but wid de cull'd people in gineral all ober de land. "When Christmas come not one-third of de winter was gone. Dar was more coal and wood to buy more clothes and Shoes fur de chill'en. Heah on my right hand sits Brudder Samuel Bhin, one of de oldest members of dis club. He was a. month behind on his rent, and he hadn't half a ton of coal in de house, and de toes of his three chill'en was be frtnnin' to peep frew deir shoes. Brud der Shin was airnln' de munificent wages of seben dollars a week, and common sense would have told him to tro slow and lay out hi money fur common-sense things. "But re speerit was on him and he plunged. He managed to rake together fo'teen dollars, and he went and bouerht his wife a gold watch. She hadn't a decent pair of stockings to her feet w-hen she sot down to eat her Christmas breakfast and dar wasn't 'nuff of de breakfast to go 'round. No doubt she was tickled to death as she thought how she would swell around wid dat watch, and no doubt Brudder Shin's heart palpitated tieklin' away, but what of de consequence? Ten days later he was ober to my cabin tc- borrow a dol lar to buy bacon and meal, and most of de time since Christmas his fam'ly has bin libin" on one meal a day. "Look a de case of Brudder Fren ied Finance White. He ar' ingaiged to a cull'd girl, and fur three months befo' Christmas he was savin' up his money. 1 knowed he was and think in' it was to git married on. I patted him on the back, and wished we had mo' members like him. On de day befo' Santa Claus come along Brudder Finance takes all his savins and buys a diamond ring fur dat gat o' his, and she's wearin' it around now as she peels 'taters and fries onions in a fam "ly at fo' dollars a week. "De heart o' Brudder Finance beat high fur a few days, and den dat gal told him to take a back seat. She had found a cull'd man "who looked more like Booker Washington. He axed fur de ring, but he dicin't git it, and he had to pawn some of his elothes to tide him over. Brudder Finance was a fool to begin wid. and an ass to end up on, and mebbe de lesson am one to do him a bit of good. "De odder night Brudder Euclid Green appeared at my cabin wid tears In his eyes and his chin wobblln' and told me dat his wife was sick, his chil dren hungry and de butcher threat enin" to sue him fur a bill. What he wanted was two dollars to heir, him out er de hole. As I sot and looked at him I remembered dat on Christ mas day he gin a dinner to eight peo ple and had claret on de table. He blowed in 'le'en dollars to help his wife cut a swell and git to be leader f de social swim in de fo'th ward. "No doubt he was happy as he sot dar at de head of de table and carved away at an old goose and imagined his wife leadin' de procession ,but you see dar was an after-clap to it. bat old goose was eaten up and digested, and he hadn't money 'nuff to buy cheap bread. I watched his tears as dey fell down and hit his shoes, and den I took him by de arm and led him out to de gate and gin him de boot. "We have a brudder named Con stantinople Scott. He am a new mem ber, and de first time I looked at his back I made up my mind dat he had aense about him. I noticed dat he "(From the St. Joe News.) It takes a brave, heroic lawmaker under circumstances like this to legislate against a friend. didn't squander his money on ciga rettes and blue neckties and red sus penders, and I took to him. He didn't disappint me till Christmas come. He had some money saved up agin sickness, but all de sense went out o' his head in twenty-fo' hours. He bought his wife an eight dollar pa'r o' shoes; he bought his leetle gal a six dollar doll: he bought his leetle boy seven Noah's arks. As if all dis was not 'nuff he goes at it and buys his old mudder a snakeskin port money dat cost ten dollars, and his sister a breastpin dat cost six mo'. Den he swelled around fur a week and his landlord chucked him out fur non-payment of rent. "You wouldn't think tr Ionic at Elder Penstock, sittin' ober dar by de stove and lookin' as wise as Cicero, dat he went and made de biggest kind or a 1001 or nisseir at Christmas time, uui listen to me rur a mmlt. With his hands under his coat-tails and his thoughts busy with buck wheat crop. "Three or fo' months ago de Elder was saunterin about de streets wid his hand under his coat tails and his thoughts busy wid de buckwheat crap, when a street kyar come along and collided wid one o' dem long heels o' his and sent him fiyin'. You will re member dat we heard dat he was dead, and dat I ordered crape to be tied to de front doah of Paradise Hall. "It was too previous. You can't kill a cull'd man by hittin' him on de heel. De longer de heel de harder it am to knock him out. De Elder sur vived and started a suit for damages, claimin' dat he had suffered to de amount of a millyon dollars. De street car company offered him $40 to settle, and he didn't let any weeds grow under his feet. "De day he got dat money he told me he was gwing to lay it away to bury hisself wid, but de comln' o" Santa Claus was too much for him. De Elder hain't dun got no fam'ly o" his own. but he went and spent dat $40 buyin' gimcracks fur odder peo ple's chill'en, and fur a day or two he had mo' fun dan a mewl could draw. Den he awoke to de fact dat he had only one shirt to his back and was barefooted in his old shoes. He come ober to my cabin and broke down and wept and called hisself all sort o' names, but it was too late. "Ober dar under the third winder sits Brudder Jericho Saunders. His head am bowed, and he seems to be studyin' de size- of his feet, but he's de ceivin' us. He am thinVin" what an idiot he was to buy his -"vife an eight dollar corset fur a Christmas present, when her toes was howin through her old shoes. "Behind de stove, seemin" to b asleep and unconscious of de turmoil of de world, am Brudder Polynesia Jones. He hain't no mo asleep dan de rest of us. Dem painful expres shuns dat flit across his countenance now and den am not caused bv de colic, but by de recolleckshun dat on Christmas eve he bought $21 worth of presents fur his seven leetle black chil dren, and dar wasn't fifty cents worth of good in de hull caboodle. He's thinkin' of how dat money would hev taken de fam'ly to de seashore next summer, and de thought gives him a pain. "Jest beyand Brudder Jones sits Brudder Goalong Symonds. I hev plnted him out time and time agin in de last y'ar as de Rockerfeller of -dis club. I've said dat he had sense in his head, and dat some day he'd be a rtejh man. I've knowed folks who tried to sell him gold mines, but he has refused to bite. He has been given tips on de races and odder good things, but has alius turned 'em down. He was gwine along mighty level headed till Christmas come. Den de plunged head-first into de vortex of extravagance. Dar was no holdin' him back. - He had sixty dollars in - his pocket, and it disappeared like dew befo' de risin' sun. He sits ober dar dis evenin' wonderin' whedder he's a man or a mewl, and I hain't gwine to help him out. "I could menshun fifty odder in stances of reckless extravagance, but what's de use? I could name a hun dred other plungers, but what good would it do? Arter de cull'd man has been takin' keer o' hisself fur fo'ty long y'ars we hev a right to expect he's got soqfie sense in his head, but wo am all tie time disappinted. He's a plunger and gwine to be a plunger fur a hundred y'ars to come, and talk in' to him is simply frowin" breath away. "Keep right on in your ways, brud ders, only don't come anlgh me. De man who draps in to see me doorin' de next y'ar and gits around to ax fur de loan of two dollars is gwine to git sich a surprise party dat his soul won't git over lookin' pale for a month after.

Al though the cost is about the same the results from these want advertisements are much larger; this because the State Journal has more read ers in Topeka than all other daily newspa pers combined. Advs. Not Accepted Over Phone. The State Journal does not accept want advertisement over the telephone nor does it make charge accounts of them. The most satisfactory plan is to gring your wait advertisement to the State Journal office. If you can not do ins. can the western union teiegrapu office, either phone 61, and tell them that you have an advertisement for the State Journal. They will send an A. D. T. boy to your house. You pay the boy for the advertisement, the Stale Journal pays for his services in bringing it down town. Cost of classified advertisements is 6c per line. Six ordinary words make one line. How to Answer Advertisements. Advertisements signed in care of State Journal, such as "Address A. B. C, care State Journal," or "Address Owner, care State Journal," should be answered in writing only. Writ your answer and mail it care State Journal or leave it at the State Journal office. Do not ask the clerks in the State Journal office to give you the name of the advertiser; they tan not give this information. ANNOUNCEMENTS.
