SHORT FLIGHTS.
By R. W. Thompson,
i THE SONG I SING.
I strive to keep me in the sun,
| I pick no quarrel with the years
Nor with the fates—not even the one
’ That holds the shears.
I took occasion by the hand; :
| I'm not too nice 'twixt weed and
: flower;
I do not stay to understand;
‘| 1 take mine hour.
3
The time is short enough at best;
I push right onward while I may;
I open to the winds my breast,
l And walk the way,
A kind heart greets me here and
I there;
’ I hide from it my doubts and fears.
I trudge, and say the path is fair
~ Along the years.
‘ —John Vance Cheney.
i People hear all of a twenty-minute

Last week a colored woman oOf
Kingston, Williamson county, Tenn.,

Russell Sage had the reputation of

to loosen up enough to. give Tuskegee

add to the amount when the time
comes for the distribution of the ben
efits she is said to have in mind.
A noticeable development in the re
ligious world is the wonderful activity
of the Catholics among the colored
people of the South. Negro priests
are being educated in the Catholie
school, missions are being established
wherever they can get a foothold, and
competent teachers are being placed
at strategic points throughout the
country, particularly in the Southern
states. Nashville, Tean., has a well
attended Negro Catholic church,
INSURANCE MONEY HELPS.
Rebuilding Operations in San Fran
cisco Begin With Vigor.
San Francisco, Aug.l4. — The re
building of San Francisco has begun in
earnest. There is little talk, there is
little boasting, but there is a wvast
amount of work. It may be observed
on every hand. 1t has suddenly grown
to large proportions, due to increased
paymeuts by the insurance companies.
Tkese payments now total $50,000,000
—enough to wariant a decided step in
advance in reconstruction. But still
the $50,000,000 represents only 20
cents on the dollar of the amount due
the policy holders of the city. The
thirty days’ grace allowed by law, after
the three monthe allotted for the filing
of proofs of loss, have elapsed and the
insurance corporations must now pay
or flatly refuse. :
The $50,000,000 has not been paid
with the same cheerfulness with which
the premiums were collected, in fact,
it is not an exaggeration to say that a
very large part of the amount has been
‘“‘wrung’’ from the companies. It is
still a question as to the sum which
the policy holders will collect in the
end. It is organization that has ca:-
ried them to the point already attained,
and it will be organization that will
carry them farther. There is very lit
tle single handed fighting against the
companiea. Most of the individual
euits filed are test cases to determine
the validity of certain doubtful clauses
and to decide how far the ‘‘earthquake
clause’’ will prevail. The policy hold:
ers have been merged into a gigantic
organization, whicua has employed a
corps of lawyers and will either foice
the companies to do the ‘‘squaie thing’’
or else announce their perfidity to the
world.
Seven Mutineers Condemned.
Helsingforg, Finland, Aug. 14.—The
trial by court martial of the Sveaborg
mutineers commenced Saturday, and
Lieutenants Kochanovsky and Emilian
off, aged respectively 20 and 21 years,
and five soldiers were at the first sit
ting found guilty and condemned to
death. All were shot and buried in a
common grave without ceremony.
Kochanoveky’s father is a colonel of
the guards at St. Petersburg. Emil
ianoff’s mother appealed by the tele
graph to the emperor for a reprieve,
but unsuccessfully.

f No matter how sultry or uncomfort
able the day, an ELECTRIC FAN will
insure comfort for the business man at
his desk—for his employes at their
work—for the customers in his store
—and for the entire household at his
home.
The cost of all this SUMMER COM
FORT is a mere trifle. A 16-inch fan
can be operated at a cost not to ex
ceed one cent an hour, and a 2 12-inch
fan can be run for even less. Think
of ten hours of solid comfort for less
than ten cents.
Keep your store cool and breezy and
your customers will find shopping a
pleasure, and your store an inviting
place in which to linger. ELECTRIC
FANS will increase your business,
whether it be a restaurant, an ice
cream parlor, a dry goods emporium
or an iron foundry.
We have fans of all kinds, all styles,
suitable for every purpose. Don’t de
lay—order your fan TODAY.
ELECTRIC LIGHT and the ELECTRIC
FAN make a strong combination for
summer comfort.
