Morgan, of Ala bama, has Huooeeded, after two years of endeavor, in interesting the War Department and incidentally Presi dent Roosevelt, in a plan to use the Philippine Islands in colonising the negroes of the United States, says a Washington dispatch to tho Atlanta Journal. Tho War Department has made arrangements to tost tho praotioal possibilities of the plan and the President has sent a speoial envoy, T. Thomas Fortune, a negro leader, to the Philippine Islands to make in vestigation and report on the condi tions there. In his efforts to havo tho plan put into execution, Senator Morgan has held frequent consultations with Secretary of War lioot ; has con sulted Governor General Taft, and in other ways urged his scheme on the officials. It is the Alabama Senator's pur pose in the future to start legislation in Congress for tho movement to colonize the negroes in the Philip pines. Ho has not pushed this part of this work because he believes the time is not ripe yet for legislation ; the farmers of the South, he says, think they need tho negro now, and until conditions aro more favorable, he will withhold the proposed legis lation. He believes, however, that the move now underway will result eventually in millions of the negroes emigrating to tho Philippine Islands and working out their own salvation there. This, ho says, is the solution of thc grave negro question which now con fronts the American people. Senator Morgan's plan is to incur? porate for tile negroes, steamship transportation companies; to give them homesteads of about twenty acres each in the ?tdami and to give them thc bist possible commercial advantages. Tho plan would not deprive them of their protection under the flag of thc United States; it would not deprive them of citizen ship, of which they aro proud, and it would eunble tho?a to become a self-sustaining and prosperous race of people, because the laud in- the Philippine Islands is extremely rieh and fertile. The climate is exactly Buited to ibo negroes' physical and industrial character, he says. Under this plan Senator Morgan believes great numbers of the negroes, but not all of them, of course, would go to the islands. In an interview on the subject to day ho said for The Journal : "The principal reason for my atti tude in the Senate toward tho Philip pine Islands was my belief that they would afford a home for tho negroes. "When I first came to Congress I introduced a resolution to recognize the Congo Free State as an inde pendent nation, merely to afford tho negroes of this country a place to which they might emigrate when their numbers inoreased to an extent that would make the emigration of large numbers of their race neces bary. The resolution passed the Senate and Houso, and a colonization of tho negro in Congo was well under way when tho United States acquired tho Philippines. "The acquisition of that territory opened up a new and vastly superior country for them. The land is rich and the climate better suited to them, and there they would still bo under tho flag, a condition which tho negro likes exceedingly well. "I took the matter up with Seore tary Koot and wrote to Governor General Taft for information and ideas on tho plan of colonizing our negroes there. Both wore favorably impressed with the idea, and I ara glad to know that it has at last been started. "When the movements make a start t will be liko tho crawfish holo in the Mississippi levees-small at the beginning, but large enough for the river to run through the next morn "The negroes were the first peop found in the Philippine islands. The are tho original inhabitants. The carno thc Malay pirates, who dro\ thom back into the hills, where Phi ippine negroos now live. The Spat i ard ? conquered the Malays. Th history is merely to show that tb islands are suited to the negro rac? "I have tried to put the plan i ?peratiou without endangering th labor of Southern farmers, and I Ix lieve under the present scheme i will work out this way. It will tak Limo, of course, but the plan, who accomplished, will prove saiisfactor to everybody." WHY SUFFER Headache or La Grippe ? CURB TOUBSBIiF WITH CAP17?DI1T1B NO BAD EFFECTS.

The shop of old Darius Noone, the only oobbler in the little town of Walton, was a favorite place of resort for the children of Walton. They liked to sit and watch the old cobbler cut out soles, stitch on patches and drive pegs. It was a matter of surprise to m?uy in the town that Darious could "stand it to have so many children bothering around" when he was at work, but the cobbler was a man who loved children, and he declared that they did not "bother him the least mite." "If they do git troublesome I just up and send 'em right home," Dari ous would say, but no one could re member that he had ever yet sent a ohild out of his shop, although it was known that on several occasions he had ordered men to leave beoause they had used language such as he would not allow used in his shop. The mothers of Walton said that Darius was a "safe" man for their children to be with. They meant by this that he was a man who never used rough or profane language, and that, gentle spirited as he was, he did not hesitate to rebuke others when they used such language in his presence. It was known also that tho old oobbler never lost an opportunity of giving the children good advice. Old Darius was proud of the fact that he was a "Sunday school scho lar." Nothing gave him greater pride or a greater sense of gratitude than the faot that he had not missed Sunday at Sunday school for forty years. When he told this fact he always added : "I tell you I've got a lot to be thankful for. Ev'ry Sunday at Sun day school for forty year hand-run nin' means good health an' the pos session of all my facuities. I tell you I've been blest beyond my deserts." The old cobbler lived in a little house of three rooms on a corner in tho center of tho village Ile used tho front room for his shop. Oue of the back rooms was his bedroom and the other was his kitchen and dining room, and "gen'ral livin' room," as ho called it. Ile had been a widower for many years, and ho had never had children, therefore ho lived alono in his little house. Tho cleanliness of his rooms and I>\H ability as a cook were matters of much comment among tho village people.-'. There Were blooming plants in hid wbite oui'tained windows, and tho floors could not have been cleaner. Even the workshop was ns tidy as it could well be, and there were blooming plants in the two front windows. One of the cobbler's favorite visit ors was little Lucy Dryden, a blue eyed, sunny haired and sunny-faced child of ten years. Lucy often stopped to seo old Darius on her way homo from school, and although the cobbler tried not to hurt the feelings of his other visitors by "showing partiality," it was evident to many of them that Lucy had a place all her own fn one of the corners of his heart. But there was room enough for all of the others in his heart, and no one was in tho least jealous of Lucy. The old oobbler had had tho mis fortune to lose one of his legs when he was in middle lifo, and for this reason he had to walk with a crutch and a cane when he walked at all. For nearly thirty years he had been "saving up" for the purpose of buying himself a wooden leg. Ile had "saved up" tho required sum several times, and each time tho im perative need of some one even poorer than himself was forced upon him, and his generous and solf-saori fioing spirit had oausod him to re spond to that need with tho money he had so carefully and so slowly saved for the artificial leg that was to "put him on his feet." Once he had been so affcoled by a powerful appeal for missions that he had put all of his savings in the colleo j tion for foreign missions, and he could not bu induced to receive back a part of the money. "No, no," he had said. "Why, I would be better off without any legs at all, and without any legs in the bar gain, than them poor souls lost in the darkness of sin." At another time he had been to the city twenty-five miles from Walton and had had all the measurements taken and had even chosen tho wooden leg he intended to purohnse, and had made arrangements to send of Walton, "istmas Story. Harbour for it the following week. But next day tho Widow Denny's little house was burned to the ground and the oobbler said : "I'm not going to spend a lot of money for something I really kin git along without, when a poor widder and four I it tin ohildren, and nice children, too, are without house or home, or money to git one with. Mary Denny and her children need a home and food and fuel to last them until spring, a good deal more than I need wooden legs ;" and the cobbler's money went for the sap port of the widow and the father less in their time of bitter need. For the fifth time had Darius "saved up" the required sum for tho leg that would have been auoh a help to him. "And this time I really must git it," he said to himself. "I sha'n't say a thing to any one about it, but I'll just slip off to the city and git me that leg for a Christmas] gift, and I'll 'stonish the natives by coming out with it at the Christ mas tree for tho Sunday school at the church Christmas evo-that's just what I'll do. It's gittin' harder an' harder each year now to hobblo about with a crutch an' a oane, an' if I don't git that leg now, I'll soon be gettin' too old to git it and walk easy with it. A wooden leg ain't a ve; y 'propriate Christ mas gift, an'it don't look just right I to be makin' myself a Christmas gtft, but I'd ruther have that leg than anything else that could be bought for me, au' I'll enjoy it a] sight oven if I do buy it myself. I got 'most enough saved up now to git it, an' I oan save the rest if I I work a good deal nights, an' don't have too many shoes to cob ble, for nothing." The good old cobbler nover charged tho very poor anything for cobbling their shoes, and some days ho spent nearly tho entire day in repairing the worn aud ragged shoes of poor child ren,- Sometimes, when the children were fatherless, Darius would send the poor little shoes home with a dime or a quarter tucked away in the toe, and once tho Widow Denny, in a time ot sickness and cruel want, found H five-dollar bill in her little Hetty's shoe that Darius had re paired, and she felt sure the old cob bler could explain the mystery of the barrel of flour she found on her door step one winter morning when there was no flour or no bread in her home. It was the week before Christmas that little Lucy Dryden came home in a reflective mood after a happy hour spent in the shop of the cobbler, who had given her fi bit of soft,| bright loather with which she in tended making a penwiper for one of her father's Christmas gifts. "Mamma," said Lucy, aa soon as she had put away her hood and cloak, "how much money have 1 got| saved up for Christmas?" "I think that you have abput forty cents, dear." "I s'pose I couldn't buy a real nice, | good wooden leg with that ?'' "Well, hardly," replied Mrs. Dry den with a little laugh. "What iu 11 the world do you want with af wooden log?" "I want to give it to old Uncle I Darius for a Christmas gift. - Ile M wants ono just awfully, and I want] to give him one. I'd like to put it on tho Sunday school Christmas | tree." Mrs. Dryden laughed again, and said : "That would be about the queerest] present ever seen on a Christmas |{ tree." "But it would make Uncle Darius | happy-happier than anything else -and we want to mako folks happy I at Christmas time, don't we? Ii asked him what he would like best ; in all the world for a Christmas \ gift, and he laughed and said that < he would rather have a wooden log \ than anything else. Couldn't we get ' up a s'cription like they did when i they got the minister a china tea set, and get the leg in that way? ; Unole Darius needs it, and the folks i ought to give it to him, good as < he is." I "I do not know but yon aro right, i my dear," said Mrs. Dryden soberly. I "It would be a kind and good thing i to do. I ha^e no doubt that nearly i every child in the town would be willing and even glad to give a lit- ' .- 1 1 t tie fur a present for good old TJnole < Darius. I will speak to your father about it." The result of tho kind and gener ous intention of little Luoy was that Mrs. Dryden herself went through the little town with that whioh Luoy oalled a "s'cription paper" soliciting funds for the purobaae of the Christmas gift Luoy had proposed to buy with hor own small savings. It was Mrs. Dryden's intention that the strange gift should bo, as far aa possible, a gift from the child ren, and she soon discovered that nbt only the children, but also their parents, heartily approved of the projeot she aud Luoy had un dertaken. Nearly all of the peo ple in the town were poor, bu. no one refused to put down BOmothing on tho "a'oription paper," even Mrs. Denny begging to bo allowed to oontribute her "widow's mite" to tho fund. After several dayB of oanvassing, Mrs. Dryden found herself with the required sum in band, and Mr. Dryden set forth for the towu two days before Christmas to make the important purchase that was to so surprise and delight old Uncle Darius at the Christmas tree. On his return from the city with the gift, Mr. Dryden said : . '? ~? "I oame very near having tho town's great secret discovered by Uncle Darius himself. I turned a aoroer not a blook from the store where I bought the leg, and found myself face to faoe with Unole Darius. He said that he bad come to the city to do a little 'Cbrist masing.' I dare say that he was bent on buying toys for some of the poor children of the town. He never forgets them at Christmas time." This was indeed a part of the cobbler's errand to the city, but the far more important errand was the purohaso that was to "surprise tho natives" when ho appeared with it strapped to his stump of a leg. He had gono into a book store to buy a picture book for the Widow Denny's little Louise, when his eye oaught sight of a pile of New Testa ments on a show case. They woro very prettily bound, and thoy had gold lettering on tho backs and shin ing little clasps and gilt-edged leaves. Unole Darius pioked up one of the books and examined it. His mental comment was : "I don't believe that I ever saw a neater little book than that. I'm minded to buy one for little LUCY Dryden for a Christinas gift ; bul then some other little girl lik< Letty Vane or Dorothy Worth o? Hattie Iiicker might think that ] was showing partiality if I bough! Lucy one and nobody else. Wondoj if I could afford to buy one for all four of 'em ?" Ho asked tho price of the books am then stood before tho show case evi lent ly making some kind of a menta calculation. He seemed to be in i (tate, of great indecision, and whet the attendant asked him if he wouh like to buy one of the Testaments hi hesitated and said : "Well, I ain't quite sure about il I'll think about it and come back if conclude to get one." He went out of tho Btoro am walked up and down the street ii Et state of perplexity. Had he ut Lered hin thoughts he would hav jaid : "It'd be a real nice thing to d( in' there ain't no gainsayin' that i would pleaae the children.

And it would I jomething for them to rcincml? mo by when I am gone, wilie will surely be before many years, He sat down on one of the bench?! u a little park, took a stub of pencil from his vest pocket and ? )ld envelope from his coat pock? tnd proceeded lo do sumo "H{ gerin'." "Lemme see," ho said to himsel 'there are lilly nine children iu tl 3uuday school, beside the teachc ind officers. That would mal ibout sixty-nine in all, an' I don vant to leave any ono out if I s )ut to do what I'm mightily mind? .o do. I've done without a leg fi most thirty years, an' it won't hu ne to go without another yet \n* if I should pass away in th year they would all have something remember me by. It would be ?/rand way to celebrate my fort Hf th year as a member of the soho in' a good way to express my gra Lude that I have had the health ; itron'th an' the desire to be so cc dmd at the lard's house. I'm r< spry with my oane and crutch, hav used them for BO many years. A some to think of it, there'? some vanity in rae boin* ao set on gittin' that wooden leg, for I hev dwelt some on how muoh better I would look with one. The more I think of it the more tho idoo grows on me that the Lord would ruther hov me buy them Testaments than the purtieat wooden or oork leg that ever waa made leeras that way to mo," He went back to tho store still a little undeoided, but the end of it all waa that a great box of the beautiful Testamenta was shipped to Walton that afternoon, and the name of Darius Noone waa on the oover of the box io big black letters. Not a single member of the Sunday iohool was missing at the tree on Christmas eve, and the merriest and nost excited ohild present was not nemer or more excited than, was the .ld cobbler. From all the branches if tho^tree bung the books ho had ?ought, tied with bright-colored rib bon, and in each Testament was a* netty Christmas eard with a Scrip - ure text on it. Unole Darius had, vit li laborious effort, written the mme of the person for whom it was ntended on the fly-leaf of each Test imont, and below the name he had v ritten : "From Unole Darius Noone in the hope that this book will be the guido of your life nd that you will be truo to ita toaohings when tho givor is no moro. Amen." Uncle Darius said afterward th av t was "worth forty old wooden legs" o seethe pleasure his gifts gave. There were smiles on all faoes, and he smiles deepened into laughter vhen Mr. Dryden finally stepped ipon the platform and, with a very unny speech presented the wooden eg to Darius. The old cobbler re ponded in a speech that created Inuits of laughter, and he said after yard to Mr. Dryden : "It's tho very identical leg I picked mt two years ago and then didn't buy, ir one just like it, and it tita to perfec ion." "Yes, I know," said Mr. Diyden. 'I bought it at the same storo to tfhich you went two years ago. sever mind how I knew just what leg o buy. I did know, as you soe. You an consider it a gift from the children, Jnole Darius." "The dear little souls !" said Uncle darius fervently. "I hope that I will ilways walk proper before them on it. havo always tried to walk proper bo oro tho Lord and the world on one eg, an' I guess I'll be able to on two. never would let a gift of childish ove like this carry me into evil places ind if them Testaments will only help he children to grow up into good men md women, and to walk softly before ho Lord, I shall rejoice on earth and n heaven."
