HEAD with the clocks one hour to-night, thereby gaining more than two hundred extra hours of daylight during the next seven montis That last year's experience convinced a majority of the people of the United States of the value of daylight saving as a regu recurring institution each season there can be no question. It is true, farmers in some sections of the country have objected to it. Ont other hand, many that its popularity among rural workers depends upon the varyog degrees of rapidity with which they adapt themselves to it. What it does for city workers in giving them an earlier start ia the morning and the pleasant certainty that the sun will be still two or three hours above the horizon when work is over, needs no demon- strating.

No. 14—TOUSSAINT, the Man Who Freed His Race and His Land > was a negro slave, but he merits a high place in any list of men who “made good,” for this half-educated black day laborer was a genius, who set free his native land and who thrashed the armies of Spain, of France and of England. Here is his story: His name was Toussaint. He was a full-blooded negro, the grandson of an African King. He was born in 1746 at Hayti. He began life as his master’s coach- man and was later made overseer of the plantation on which he had been born, It was as overseer that he first proved himself a born leader of men. His fellow- | slaves adored him and obeyed unquestioningly his every command. Hayti at that time belonged to France, but both England and Spain were plotting to seize it. The local white folk, the black slaves and the free mulattoes hated one another. | Ry The Trouble was smouldering. The dawn of the French Revolution waa wort ) | the signal for a general uprising in Hayti. The negroes and the mulattoes Tetleous hig Joined forces against the whites. Toursaint joined the revolt and saved his master from death in the general massacre which followed.

This was jin 1801, The islanders elected him President of the new republic and @¢- lcepted the wise Constitution he framed for them. “This Constitution,” writes a historian, “showed Toussaint at his great- est, for it might well have served as a model Oe to the world’s foremost statesmen. It provided Hayti Declared a for free (a half century before Europe Republic. took up idea), demanded religious Wberty Orr und tolerance, gave equal rights to all and im. sured safety and Justice to the poorest.” Incidentally, Toussaint invited all f ndowners to come back to the island and restored to them their confiscated property He also taught his followers that liberty and hard work must always go hand in hand. He took the surname of uvertuse” (meaning “The Opening”), as he de- clured himself the opening wedge to his people's freedom and progress, But he made the mistake of referring to himself as “The Napoleon of the Blacks.” Napoleon Bonaparte heard of this, Furious that a negro should dare to assume his sacred name, he sent a powerful expedition to Hayti to put down the sacrilegious Toussaint. | "With 25,000 veteran troops the French General, Leclerc, attacked the ‘island.
