New Dress for an old Story,
Little drops.of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty profit on
Sugar o’er the land,
Helping the 01d Man.
A model son-in-law is not
The one who needs a sum,
But one whom hard-uppa-in-law
Can borrow money from.
The Writing Woman.
"With Hebrew Greek and Latin,
She’s acquainted more or less,
And ghe’s obviously pat in
All the languages.
She has read her Herbert Spencer,
Her Kant and Schopenhauer,
And in logic she’s a fencer
Of unquestionable power,
She is full of keen suggestion,
Be the snbject what it may;
And on every social question
She has something to say.
You may see her quick eye kindle
With a bright and vivid flame
At the mention of a Tyndall
Or a Huxley’s potent name.
Scraps of learning she will pick up
With a ekill that makes them live.
She will argue with a Bishop,
Say, on church prerogative.
With her own sex she will chatter,
In the proper time and place,
On some trivial household matter,
With a quaint and lively grace.
She can cook, and wash, and mangle
(Though perhaps she’d rather not)
Play tennis, ride and angle,
And 18 quite a champion shot.
¥rom the public platform you will
Find her talking fact or myth,
With the vigor of a Whewell
Or the wit of Sydney 2mith.
’Mongst mere minnows she’s a Triton
Who will always have her way;
She’s an admirable Crichton,
Is the woman of to-day.
Your Friend,
A lonely cottage sat
With not a friend to share;
As I sat oneevening
A friend knocked on my heart.
Iremember a friend,
A-friend in need
A friend indeed :
The ‘People’s Friend,”
A friend for you.
So subseribe for the Friend and
read the Friend and it will be afriend
to you. L
To Cur Friends and Patrons.
It is rumored that this paper is pub
lished for a campaign paper. That is not
our intention; but what we aim atis to
publish a first class colored newspaper
here in the city in the interest of our
people. We cannot rise Phoenix like
from the ashes of other fallen papers,
but must make our way step by step,
until we climb to the top of the ladder.
Now we hope our friends will consider
this as a matter of fact.
While strolling out upon one of the
thoroughfares of our suburbs, upon his
pedal extremities, dreaming dreamlets
from sweet dream-land, his pathway
was suddenly obstructed by a massive
brick building, upon reconnoitering he
found it was the Fire Department sit
uated at the corner of 13th street and 4th
avenue. A bright idea flashed through
his mind, how pleasant it would be to
occupy a position in such a magnificent
structure. And so his friends desire his
appeintment te that position. He is a
good man for the place. You all know
him. He is Mpr. L. 1. Brown.
Be sure and subscribe for the ¢ PEo
rLE’Ss FrIEND,” a cheap paper. We have
no colored baper in Wichita, and you
ought to take it. You never hear any
news of colored people unless you hear
of some one raping, stealing or fighting.
Subscribe and hear some good of our
people.

Some papers compare Coxey’s move
to John Brown’s raid. But John
Brown had a principal purpose and
system. Coxey doesn’t have either,
and there is nothing in it but a dime

Although I am not in favor of a
criminal, yet I would like to see them
have justice. Although if his guilt
may be proven let the law have its
course. It has always been the cus
tom down South that as soon as a
Negro is arrested, to hang him and
have his trial afterwards. Givea man
justice, is our plea, let him be black
or white. Down with the lynch law,
is our motto.

WICHITA, KANSAS, THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1894.
Sunday May 20th, H. Murdoc who
lives on the corner of Fourth and Will
lams st.,, was assaulted from pehind,
knocked down and kicked insensible by

and some woman wi.ose name is un
known at present. Hicison picked him

He did not recover consciousness until

If we see one
. “What will our young men do?, isa
question that should receive attention.
We have young men in our city who
‘have education but no opportunity to
’ develop or demonstrate it, ana the mass
‘es of the people blame the young men
and because they will not get down and
shovel manure, they charge them with
laziness and other vices instead of en
couraging them and assisting them in
getting some kind of employment where
they may be beneficial to themselves and
their race. There is no encouragement
however to a young man in this city. |
People look at their bad traits and for
get to consider their good ones. Your
motte should be, “If you can’t build a
man up, for God’s sake don’t tear him
down. ¢ |
| The philosopher stands off and says,
““Let them die, it will end that much of
poverty, and, possibly, crime.” And
in his heart the philesopher is a mur
derer. Give them their chance to live.
Give them their chance for a little hap
piness. They may not be beautit'ul,
oftentimes they are not interesting, these
children of the other side; but if vour
‘boy or girl slept in a room with seven |
lother people, never knew what a bathl
’was day ia and day out, lived on the
' poorest and worst cooked food, liter
’ally tumbled along throngh life, do‘
vou think he would be interesting?
Do some little thing. Why, you know I
if everybody would do just a little, the |
result would be marvelous. Give one
child a day’s pleasure, and if vou _vour-i
self cannot for some reason go to the |
other side, then put a bit of money in |
the hands of thouse who do, and give|
this money for the little children that
they may one day go on the water, that
they may one day go to the country,
that they may once in a while have hap
py days like other children. These
children of the other side! And yet they
are God’s children. And be very sure
that as you do it unto the least of these
it will be done unto you. Do it then
because it is kind and right. Do it for
the sake of your own little children, and |
if you want to do it for somebody who
has seen how they suffer, who knows
how happy a very little makes them,
thendo it for the sake of humanity.
