Tint original and Independent think
V, Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Oilman, has
recently culled for Europe oa lector
tour. One of Mr,. Oilman's odd Ideas
la that not every mother It wIm enough
or ha time enough to bring up bar
children In the bent manner. For this
reason Mm, Oilman thinks It would be
In the Interest of the race If public
nunMrtcs and homes were provided
where mothers might hare their little
ones taken cart of In the moat scien

and sanltartana. and governesses, who
would give the Infanta loving, llkswlae
hygienic, care. The parents of the
children meantime may have access to
them at any time. When Mrs. Oilman
promulgated her plan she was met by
a ahower of Imprecation. It was said
she would break up the family, that
foundation stone Itaelf of civilization.
Now, however, cornea a move looking
toward patting Into practice the very
suggestions of Mrs. Oilman. More
over, It emanated from the Inner cir
cle of Loudon nodal high life. In that
city baa been started a children's hotel
and nursery, whfcre1 rich people's little
ones may be taken care of permanent
ly and at the top notch of style and ten
derness, the parenta paying liberally
for the same. In London at least there
must have been a demand for such an
Infant hostelry or It would not have
been established.

That plucky and untiring newspaper

In faraway South Africa on a tour with
her gifted daughter, CarroIl-'Turroll

whistles like a mocking bird, la likewise
an actreea and a trained dancer. An
advantageous offer to exhibit ber ac
complishments on the stage In Europe
was made to Miss Carroll, whereupon
Mrs. McComas gave up for the time her
own alma to accompany ber daughter
on the tour. It has extended beyond
what waa at first expected, and Carroll
and ber mother are now In 8outh Af

'This la a wonderful country, with a

A N.gre Woman's Industrial 8chool..
"At feMt," Bay the southern people,
"In the old slave days the negroes were
trained to usef ul work. The men learn
ed carpentering, blucksmltblug and
other trade, and the women were
skilled cooks, nurses and seamstresses.
The generation of free negroes thai
has grown up since the civil war can
do nothing, and the blacks are often
idle and vlcipua." A young colored
woman, Jennie Dean, of Manassas,
Va., realised the truth of this charge
agalnRt her people better even than the
whites did and set herself to remedy
It. She bad only good health, determi
nation and an expert knowledge of
cookery. Behold! With that capital
ahe has established and now maintains
an Industrial school farm of 120 acres.
It has a docen excellent buildings. In
which are taught to negro boys and
girls skilled trades of all kinds. Girls
learn cooking, sewing, general house
work and child's nursing. Those who
desire are also perfectly trained in
poultry raising and dairying. The
name of the enterprise Is the Manassas
Industrial school. Jennie Dean saved
her own wages as an expert cook. She
next roused the ambition of the negroes
themselves around Manassas. White
friends both north and south aided
Jennie in her work. The mayor of

Maggy Darr's
Temptation
' Maggy IKirr aT a'nurscgfri In a
large city. One day tor mistress told
her that for the sake of economy she
would dispense with her services. The
lady should have held her to get an
other place, but she was a selfish wom
an and turned her servant away with
the few dollars she owed ber to shift
for herself.
Mage's mother was a widow with
tae child Ixnidcs Muggy, a boy two
years old. It so happened that at the
time of the girl's discharge her moth
er fell sick, aud the money Maggy
brought home from be mistress waa
all the menu 4 the family possessed to
pay rent and the ilo tor and buy food
tud medicines. The eoiue (Wiice was
that It wiM inure than exhuusted with
in a few day.
One night Maggy left her sick moth
er and her little brother, wbw was cry
ing for food, and went ont with des
peration In her heart. She was walk
ing along the street crying when she
was stopped by a rough Hooking man
with the question:
"Hello, little girl! What's the mat
terr Maggy gave an account of ber con
dition and the reasons for It
"Young woman," said the man, 'If
you don't take care o' yourself no one
won't take care o' you. I'm an escaped
jailbird myself. Nobody won't give me
no work, and I've g t to take what I
need, whether the law allows or not
gay, I've been wabhln' a bouse around
the comer. There's a window open,
Just enough for a girl like you to
crawl t'irotigh. Besides, you'd step
lighter 'n me. You go In and get mine
swag, while I watch for cops outside."
But one vision danced lefore Mag
gy's eyfs--carrying home food to stop
the crying of ber little brother. Her
brain was not very capacious, and
there was no room In It for more than
one thought at a time. The lmmorajlty
of the means by which she intended to
procure the coveted result was crowd
ed out Wie went with the man, who
showed ber the window and, banding
ber a revolver and a dark lantern, told
her to use the former If it would save
ber from being caught Maggy was so
beside berself with ber proposed work
that ahe took both mechanically, not
knowing what she did. Entering the
bouse and not finding anything of
valuo in the lower rooms, she went up
stairs. The door of a bedroom stood
ajar, and she threw the light Into the
room. On a bed lay a girl about her
own ago, sleeping. She was a perfect
picture of tranquillity, ber face an ex
pression of absolute Innocence. Mag
gy's light flashed on a dressing table,
lighting up Jewels that had been laid
aside for the night. Then she turned
the rays again on ber from whom she
was to take these Jewels.
Maggy .was no more of a burglar
than the sleeper. She was npt even
naturally dishonest A. coincidence
her meeting with the convict his point
ing out s way by which to gain relief
bad been too much for ber young pow
ers of resistance. This defenseless in
nocence cast as sudden a light into
Maggy's moral nature as ber lantern
cast upon the sleeper.
Now, beside the bed in which the
girl lay was an electric light button.
The sleoper, when Maggy hnd flashed
the light In ber face, partly awakened
and listened, but hearing nothing, was
about to sink to sleep again when she
beard a low sob. Reaching up, she
turned the button, and the room waa
Illuminated.
Perhaps no one ever saw a more nov
el sight A girl about ber own age was
on her knees In the middle of the floor,
with ber hands clasped and her eyes
raised In prayer. On one side of her
on the floor was a lantern, on the other
a revolver. There was little time to
gaze on the picture, for In a moment
a door without opened and a voice
said:
"There's somebody In the house."
The awakened girl must have bad a
brain capable of taking In a great deal
ou sudden notice. At any rate, she saw
a virion of her visitor marched to Jail,
cad at the sume time ahe devised
means to prevent such a result
"Bring those things and put them un
der the bed. Quick!" ahe said.
Maggy, called to herself by her dan
ger, obeyed.
"Now get Into bed with me."
Maggy had no sooner disappeared un
der the covers than her bedfellow turn
ed the button, and the room waa dark
again. A man came to the door with
a candle In one hand and a pistol In the
other, asked the girl If she had seen or
heard anything, went away, prowled
for awhile about the bouse, then went
back to bed.
In the darkness, covered by the same
bedclothes as her protector, Maggy told
ber story. Just before day both girls
arose and stole softly downstairs, and
Maggy, afiter peeping through a crack
to make sure that her tempter had gone
away, walked out of the front door.
The next day the girl Maggy had In
tended to rob came to visit the Darr
family. She carried many bundles,
which gladdened the hearts of all, es
pecially those tilings that Maggy had
told her the Invalid needed. From that
time forward she took them all under
her especial care, and when ahe entered
the social world and required the serv
ices of a maid ahe Installed Maggy In
the position. Her father never knew
that the object of his daughter's boun
ty. Indeed his daughter's maid, had first
entered the house as a burglar. The
daughter's act Is not held up as a
modal for other young women. Indeed,
she should hare acted only with the
consent of ber father. But In this ease
no harm resulted, for Maggy, after a
few j ears In her service, married a
wall to do earnenter.
