Questions Propounded

day were once in the white Associa-I
tious and other bodies. and TO be con
sistent with Just such advice as the
learned Doctor gives they got their
letters aud formed the distinctive Ne
gro Associations But suppose they
had remained ia the white organiza

Brooks, we would to-day have no Ne
gro Associations and possibly no other
Negro organizations.
DR. BROOKS sAPPLINo RIDER
The Doctor is splendid sappling
rider, Like Horace Greedy, he wants
to stand on two platforms. With the
white people, the Doctor is a white
man; and with the black people, the
Doctor is a black man. He shows him
self to b. "A splendid parsonaror Of DR..
JekyI and Mr.. Hyde Therefore. l
would advise him To leave the pulpit
and take the stage, as the world is IN
need OF some one TO hiring out this pe-
culiar freak of human nature, and L
am sure no one can do it better than
the Doctor.
