Every race lias a name, the Indian, the Chinese; the name of your people !* the negro race." .-iV - “You say dat, doctor? You thinks dat? But us colored folks, we know dor ain't hut one nigger—he's de bad man." "But that Is the talk of Ignorance,” argued the doctor.

' A major of marines had his bat talion out In the brush In Cuba for a problem In observation. He detailed a private to go to a small hill about h quarter of a mile away and conceal himself. The battalion wMtld then try to locate the private with field glasses as a training for finding ene my scouts and snipers during actual battle conditions. The private trotted off and, at a sig nal from the major, flopped to the ground. The major turned around to explain the problem to the battalion, hut, upon turning again, was much in censed to see the privdte standing again In full view of all. Seizing a pair of signal flags from a sergeant the major wigwagged wrathfully: “Why don’t you lie down as I ordered?" Upon which the private on the sky line wig-wagged hack respectfully, but' with great emphasis: "Sir, why did the major order me to lie down on an ant hill?”—The Home Sector. Buried Rome.
