4 S.caI. Thief,

On Monday night about $50 while
the family were at supper a very bold
thief entered the residence of Mr.. S.
NeIken and ransackcd the armolr and
bureau drawers in the front bed
room. Fortunately supper must have
been nearly over when the entrance was
made, and the family returning to the
front Of the hou>c frightened the in
truder away, but not before he had
captured purse containing about four
dollars and half, which after taking
out he threw away within one hundred
feet Of the house.
iFprints were found in the garden
by which the entrance was made. and
at the alarm was given, Mr.. Nclkcn

This was very bold deed occurring

dress was "The Colored Soldier in Wars
of America" 1t was comprehensive
and sholarly effort in which he told in
great detail the story Of the colored SOL
diers in America, from the death OF
Crispus Attucks Ia the "Boston Msssa'
cre'' March 5, 1770. down to their crown
ing glory in the terrible charge up San
Juan Hill during the Spanish war. He
told of their achievements in the ReYo
luton, how they took prominent
part in the battle of Bunker Hill end
numberless other engagements; how,
after the war ended, they returned to
peaceful pursuits, how they responded
to the call for men in the war of 1912
In the Mexican war and most largely
in the Civil war. He sketched their rec
ord as soldiers OF the regular army in
the Indian wars and how they capped
it all by heoric deeds two short years
ago.

atterances Invariably are it see ms that
he has never before condensed so much
truth in single paragraph as is found
In this excerpt from his Bethel Literary
address. It states our case in nut shell
and Is splendid sample leaf from that
philosophy he so capably teaches at
Tuskegee. Says Mr.. Washington:
The fbuudation of citizenship rests
upon the intrinsic worth of each in
dividual or group Of individuals. No
law can push the individual forward
when he is worthle ss; no law can hold
him back when he is worthy. The
worthy may be Inconvenience. but
never defeated. The time will come
when the coloreG man will secure all
the recognit on his merits entitle him
to as man and ss citizen, but such
recognition will come through no pro-
cess of artificial forcing, but through
the natural law Of evolution. In q
word. we have got to pay the price for
everything we get, the price that every
civilized race or nation has paid for Its
position, that of beginning gradually.
