THE
HAS BEEN "PUT NEXT TO THINGS."
The Old Soldier Says He Has Not Told
Half Vet.
Jefferson City, Mo., April 2, 1902.
"Who got lected"said tho old
soldier as he came into the Monroe
house yesterday evening long
after the reports from all the
Wards had been received and the
defeated candidates had gone home
to say, "What might have been"
and to wish they had never run.
"You are away behind the excite
meut," said the hotel clerk (as he
gave the old soldier a campaign
cigar,) "The polls closed at six
o'clock and the report of the elec
tion has been in for some time,
you voted didn't youf" "Yes I
always vote," said the old soldier
(lighting his cigar,) "But I voted
Boon this morning and since that
I have been busy plantin' potatoes
all day and wnz most too tired to
come to town but the old woman
wanted to hear who got 'lected on
the school board and I had to
come down to see . "You seem
to be verv mueh interested in
schools here of late," said the ho
tel clerk, "A tew evenings ago
you were here grumbling about
Lincoln Institute." "No I wasn't
gruniblin'," said the old soldier,
"I wuz jest statin tacts and you
know it and there are plenty of
folks who think jest like I do
about white teachers being kept in
negro schools ; we have separate
schools in this state audit would
be 'giust the law fur me to send
my chaps to a white school would
itt" "Yes," said the clerk but I
think tho reason you have white
teachers at Lincoln Institute, it is
because they can't find any of
your race who can do the, work
that those white are employed to
do." "I see you want to argue
the case," said the old soldier,
"So I'll jest set dwn a minute."
"No I'm not arguing the case,"
said the hotel clerk, "I'm only
telling what I have heard."
"That's alright." said the old sol
dier, "I jest telling what I know;
you see I ain't no school teacher,
but I'm a purty good judge of
them that do teach, especially
when it comes to shop work, and
there ain't no use in sayin' that a
man who is jest a blacksmith can
teach industrial education. I mean
the whole business and besides
there are plenty of negro men who
have completed an industrial edu
cation and one of them ought to
be at the head of them shops."
"Yes I believe as you do about
that," said the clerk, "but maybe
no colored man has ever applied
for the place." "Indeed they
have," said the old soldier, "but
thev have only been offered a
pluce as an assistant teacher."
"Well, that is rather strange,"
said the clerk, "but I thought that
the president of the institution
could always recommend his facul
ty and surely he would not recom
mend such incompetent men as
you say they have out there."
"That is the, critical pint," said
the old soldier, "most folks think
jest like you do 'bout that, but I
have been put next to some thiugs
that you don't know nothin' about
Page thought, when he worked
the legislature for that money to
build them shops, that he wuz to
be president of the whole bizness
but when things didn't go jest
riffht over there ana he tnea to
straierhten them out, he was in
formed ' from a power behind the
throne that Lincoln Institute was
one thine and them" Shops was
Humethinur else." " v ell, that is
news to me," said the clerk'
"Yes and it will be news to lots
of folks," said the old soldier,
uanA I think it is time they was
knowing these things. I could tell
you some things that would make
the hair stand straighter than that
but I roust go cause the old woman
wants to know about that school
"board lection. I'll drap in again
sonn and tell you a little more
but you must keep it to yourself j
you know.
A Professional Gardener.
Columbia has a professional
gardener in the person of Mr. Uenry
Kirklin. Few, if any colored men
in the state have devoted as much
time and energy to this profession
as Mr. Kirklin, who has for twenty
years spent nearly all of his time
in this profession. His gardeu is
systematically arranged. Every
kind of vegetable that is placed on
the market can be found in Mr.
Kirklin's garden. He also has a
strawberry patch which iu favora
ble season will yield tweuty dollars
worth of berries per day.
Professor W. T. Vernon, A. M.,
president of Western University,
located atQuindaro, Kansas, is be
ing recognized as one of the loading
negro educators of this country,
lie is known as the silver tongued
orator of the West. After his re
cent visit to Tuskegee Institute,
under the direction of Booker T.
Washington, he contributed an in
teresting article to the Omaha En
terprise, the following extract from
which may be preserved as classic :
"I believe the black man will
ultimately be a potent factor in this
country. The element of time is
to play a most important part in
the work of solving the problem.
The Negro's bouyancy, his hope
fulness, his bravery, his patience,
merge into an indestructible ele
ment which will prove a sure relief
as the years of God unfold. The
problem of the black belt, the prob
lem of our cities, where too often
our people flock instead of staying
on the farms and in the smaller
towns, the problem of the Negro,
North, South, East and West, will
yield the proper results under the
influence of the work of Washing
ton and other leaders who teach
that with true worth color is no
successful bar to progress, and
without it cau never hope to be a
passport to sympathy or favor."

Fulton Notes.
March exposed herself or some
one else iu her last two days. Many
thought of making fires iu the gar
dens. '
Rev. W. D. Carter is here visit
ing his wife's parents ; ho is re
ported quite ill. "
Rev. Ellis, formerly of Mexico,
Mo., has received Fulton as his
charge for this time. We are glad
to have distinguished gentlemen in
our midst.
Miss Lillian M. Brown, of the
Bub-normal class iu Lincoln Insti
tute, is visiting her mother here
She found her mother's health im
proved. She reports great things
for the new president.
It was a great surprise to the
people of Fulton to find that Rev.
J. M. Harris had been appointed at
Kansas City, Mo. While we are
sorry to lose him, we wish him and
wife success and satisfaction there
We regret that some of our boys

some difficulty and have returned
home as a settlement of the affair.
We do not know where the fault
lies, but this we do know, that no
president means no school. If a
school is left for the students to
govern there will soou be no col
lege. The negro youth can scarce
ly afford to boss the teachers under
any circumstance. We have not
tho time ; the other fellow is cen
turies ahead of us and is still gain
ing. We ure informed that a Summer
School will be held in Lincoln In
stitute, Jefferson City, Mo., some
time this summer at a time not to
interfere with the Teachers' Insti
tutes. Duration, seven weeks.
Many are saddened by the death
of our old and respected citizen,
Mrs. K. Fauntroy, of West Fulton.
Her bereft husband, daughters and
other relatives have our full sym
pathy. We were glad to learn of the
improved condition of Miss Ora
Uooch, who was badly hurt iu St.
Louis some days ago. She is sister
to Mrs. Prof. W. E. Henderson.
Dr. Caston is conducting a suc
cessful revival meeting at Second
Baptist church. Forty accessions
are iu the last report.
Two colored and several white
men left Fulton some days ago for
the Dakotas. We wish them suc
cess. If Fulton does not get a new de
pot, it will get a nearest substitute
a greatly remodeled old one.

"Between Realists and Ideal
ists," Quick says, "I am, there
tore, though with some limita
tions, in favor of the natural
teacher. I am well aware, how
ever, what an immense demand
this system makes on the moral
and religious character of his pu
pils. If he would have his pupils
know him as he is, if he would
have them think as he thinks, feel
as he feels, and believe as ho be
lieves, he must be, at least heart
and aim worthy of their imitation.
He must say 'For their sake I
sanctify myself, that they also
may be sanctified in truth.' "
Francis W. Parker said :
"The initial steps, in inducing
school government, are indeed the
most difficult. Children enter
school with marked habits of inat
tention, with a cultivated dislike
for work, and frequently with the
feeling that the teacher is their
natural enemy. The question then,
of first importance, is: How cau
habits of work or self-effort be in
duced T This question can not be
easily answered, but certain mark
ed factors in it may be mentioned.
Tho highest Qualification of a
teacher is a dominating love for
students' manifested by a strong
desire to assist them."
'Under the light of truth, under
the highest ethical motives, there
is no patriotism in the world wor
thy the name, no true religiou
that does not embrace every child
born under the shining sun."
Prof. John II. Bias' theory and
practice of these educatioual es
sentials brought to him great
honor aud credit; last Friday
when the D Normal class of Lin
coln Institute gave a reception and
programme to him, their young
and dear teacher.
The programme rendered ap
peared in last week's issue of the
Professional World.
Prof. Bias' response was under
three heads: Friendship, Patri
otism and Christianity. After a
brief aud strong analysis of each
head, they were closed respective
ly with the following quotations:
"Ho who lma a tlimi.suml frli-nils Iiuh not n
f I'ln nl to spun-,
And lie who lias ono enemy will meet hlni
everywhere. "
Breathes there limn with soul so deml.
Who never to himself hath hhUI,
Tills In my own, my native land I
Whose heart hath ne'er within him huru'd,
As home his footsteps he hath turned
From wandering on a foreign strand?
if snoh the breathe go, mark him well I
For htm no minstrel ruptures swell;
HIku though his titles, proud his uunie.
Koundless his wealth as wish van claim
Despite those titles, power and pelf.
The wretch, concentered all In self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And. doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, uuhouor'd aud unsung,
"Uod of our fathers known of old,
Lord of our far Hung battle line,
lleneath whose awful hands we hold
Dominion over palm ami pine.
Lord Uod of Hosts, be with us yet.
Lest we forget, lest we forget."
Ill closing, Prof. Bias dedicated
to the D Normal class, his fare
well poem of last June to his Alum
Mater :
Tills day's long wished realities.
Will be to-morrow's sacred history,
When we ulose books of school duties '
And enter life's school of real mystery.
We who for years have held this stand,
To you, dear school-mates, a sad thought
must tell;
As the last grain o( falling snud
Is christened with death's parting word,
farewell.
Christ bid mail a long, sweet good-bye.
Without a tear he promised n return;
We know not but that we may lie
Before we meet, In Death's cold urn.
Ixt come what will, wu must now say,
How grieved to part, alone the dead can tell.
With happy hearts so let us pray,
That we may meet some day, Farewell I
Farewell I

The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medi
cal fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon tho blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting na
ture iu doing its work. The pro
prietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer
Oue Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for
