1>HE NEGRO IS happy lucky
! afid il is we'll that he is or
many home would have iiiourned
because of him. He is immoral
not because he means to be, but be-
cause he is simply at the stage Of
animal existence that the white man
as whole passed ages ago. He is
unttuthful because lying was his
safeguard, and stealing his way to
luxury back in those days when he
was owned. He is unreliable be-
cause he has no ancestral Experience
to show him that trustworthiness is
good. He is idle because his wants
are very simple, and wants-the
complicated wants of civilization
enter much more largely Into the
white mans industry than he stops
to consider.
He is what he is because a gen.
Grafton Of wasted opportunities is
not enough to counteract ages of
gross existence in Africa, and two
hundred years of ignorant slavery
/! in America.
He is what he is because even his
well-meaning friends have been his
actual enemies in trying to force the
stone Of classical education down
!! his throat willie his real need was
the bread of manual training.
He is what he is because of the
hypocrisy of politics that will make
much of him once year, and ex-
aggerate in his feeble brain his own
importance, and then drop him
once more back into his old enforced
aloofnest. Hence election time
merely means to him drinks and
smokes, greenbacksj and apparent
equality with his white neighbor,
and has not at all the grandeur of
learning a nations will that we
white men cherish as an ideal.

Mini Darling came from a fairly good
family in fairly large city. She was well
educated and, since education brings am
! bition, she was ambitious. Never a child,
she denied herself all the enjoyments of
existence and in youth devoted herself to
laboring. consistently and constantly. to-
ward her goal. When it became necessa-
/ ry for her to earn a livelihood she adopted
the stage. Ali her toll had been in that
direction; SO. too. her hopes. She began as
q chorus girl but expected soon something
much better.
Drcans-dreams- Mini Dar-
I ling continued TO work. There were days
of effort sustained only by mental courage;
there were temptations overcome for the
sake of the future; there were visions of
triumphs to follow the attempts in view
and then invariable failure AT first the girl
took these with a bright face and prom

ii not necessary to try SO hard for food
aud hahifation she might find the moments
n which TO prepare for doing better. But,
when she did do well, and no one noticed,
her heart ached.
Meanwhile Mini was growing older and
less good looking. Worry and exceeding
endeavor leave their marks as surely as do
dissipation. Placidity does not purchase
immunity from wrinkles and grey hairs
Finally Mini, the woman. was unable to
find employment in the chorus An admi-
rer offered her assistance with a condition
She refused, as she had refused before.
There was period of hunger no less an
moving because the hungered walked erect,
and OF poverty no less biting because Mini
had found that ink covers worn spots in

with repertoire company. Hope Here,
at least. was part in which strength and
intensity might be put and perhaps seen.
But the worker had little strength in her
nervous hands and no intensity in her
trembling voice. Had she possessed both
they would hardly have been noticed.
At tie end of the season, because some
thing must be done Mini went 10 a concert

the humiliation was but temporary. Still
nothing else offered. Liquor proved
