IN EXA MPLE TO YOUNG
MEN,

Ore, is striving against many obstacles to
win for himself an education. In the mat
ter of diet Thompson is different from any
other student who ever entered Harvard
For more than year he has lived on the
a appended frugal weekly fare:

Twenty one orders OF bread. two slices

Total - SI.os
At this rate the average cost for three
meals is fifteen cents.
The potatoes are IN every case baked. as
Thompson asserts that those prepared in
this way are not only more satisfying but
ever buttered, and the only drink which is
INDUCED in at meal times is a cup of hot
water.
Thompson is graduate of McMinnville
College. He Joined the junior class a,
Harvard, and commenced his unique method
of dieting as the studies were begun.
He has already earned a scholarship for his
excellent work of last year, and he will UNI
doub,edly be one of the highest rank men
to graduate next Jun..-[Bost telegram,

Many young men fail in life be-
cause they are not willing TO deny
themselves any of the comforts and
luxurirs. The history of this coun-
try tells OF a large number of men
who achieved much prominence
and even fame through their own
unaided efforts. AS general rule
the young fellow who has rich
fat her and is given all the money
that he can spend. becomes i'm
provi1-nt and reckless, and il. the
long run does nor amount to much.
OF course, there are brilliant ex-
ceptions to this rule, but we believe
1t is the experience of the world
that a plethoric bank account is
not conducive to youthful eXertion.
A young man who has the mental
sure to succeed if he is laborious
and economical, even though the

dustry do not go unrewarded, and
the boy who possesses these quail
ties will reach his goal, if he is dis
posed to make necessary sacrifices
in equipping himself for the battle
of life. Providence has SO ordained
things that even if Fortune has not
deigned to smile upon you, you are
endowed with brain and Drawn tn a,
will carry you through if you will
only exert yourself.
Few boys may possess the grit
and will-power Of the Harvard
student, and it is hardly proba b! e
that any of the Lafayette boys
would be willing to live on bread,

lesson which can be Of some use. t.

BRANN'.S IDEA OF II MA ~

Brann, whose cratic pen cost
him his life, was one OF the bright
est minds of his time. Doubtless
he was Incorporate in his writings
and perhaps unjustiy severe. yet he
has given expression to sentim ents
tered. The following lines are
characteristic of the late icon
oclast:
The place to take the true meas
ure of man is not the forum or
the field, not the market place or
the amen corner, but bis own fire
side. There he lays aside his mask
and you may judge whether he's
imp or angel, king or cur, hero or
humbug. / care not what the world
say about him-whether 1T crowns
him with rays or pelts him with bad
eggs. l care never what his repu
tation or his religion may be. If
his babies dread his home coming
every time she has to ask him for
a five dollar, bill he's a fraud of the
first water, even tho he prays night
and bowls hallelujah till he shake
the eternal hills. But if his children
rush to the front gate to greet him,
and loves own sunshine illumines
the face Of his wife when she hears
his football, you may take it for
granted that he's true gold, for his
homes heaven, and the humbug
never gets tina! near the great white
throne of God.
The law prohibiting ma 'riSges
among first cousins has been pro-
nounced null and void by Judge
Paul Leche of the 27th Judicial dis
trict. 1t appears that there were
some irregularities in he passage Of
the law. Should the SUP RENE Cour,
affirm Judge Leche's decision. h {
law will no doubt be re enacted, and
It is hoped that the .;ext time it vii

Premium lists for Minnesota's great

be seen at this Office or can be secured
by postal card request to Secretary
q. w. Randall. Hamline, MINI. The
fair will be held upon the state fair
grounds, midway between the twin
cities, during the week of Sept. 2 to z,
and it is evident that the splendid
growth Of this institution is to be con-
tinued. Expansion is the order of the
day. The prize list has been revised
by generous hands and the exhibits
will be varied and comprehensive,
special attention being given to live
stock and to field, garden and orchard
products. The American Shorthorn
Breeders Association and the Ameri-
can Hereford Breeders Association
will each conduct their next national
exhibit and sale at this fair, each as
ISOLATION paying $4,000 in premiums.
This will add two most important and
useful features. q; Not only are the ex-
hibition departments being strength
ened, but the amusement features are
being bettered also. Twenty thousand
dollars are offered in purses, which in
sures racing of the highest order and

AFRo-AMERICAN COUNCIL,
Call TO, Annual Meeting at Philadelphia
Louisiana Test Case.

Call fol- Annual Meeting at PhiIadeIphia
-Lonisiana Test Case.
The fourth annual session Of the Ma
tional :Afro-American Council will be
held at Philadelphia, Pa, (probably in
the City Council Chamber), Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, August Z,
8 and 9, 1901. It is hoped that every
church, college, benevolent society, and
other race organizations. and editors
of race newspapers, will be represent
ed. It is the purpose of the officers
to make this meeting the largest and
most potent for good of any which the
council has ever held. In recent years
Philadelphia has been the storm cen-
ter of several important national gath
erings for the discussion CT the race
question, and the outcome has not al
ways been the most favorable for the
Negro. We now have an opportunity
to refute the 8 erroneous statements
which have been made there, and
change the unfavorab1es sentiment
which has been created by some of
the enemies of the race who have se-
lected the Quaker City as the forum
from which to hurl their philippics
against loyal and inoffensive people
on account of their color and previous
condition of serVitude.

RINGLING BROS BIG CIRCUS

When Ringing Brothers big circus
exhibits in st. Paul, Tuesday, July %,
it's thousands of admirers will witness
what is declared to be the most re-
narkable trained elephant act ever Of
fered the American people. In this
great act twenty elephants perform Eat
one time, in one ring, under the direc-
ton of one man." What this means
can be realized when it is stated that
the largest number of elephants hith-
,erto performed together was ten, and
this was only accomplished by the
great Lockhart, whose troupe of ele-
plants are now owned BY Ringing
Brothers, and used in their big dis
play. The performance given by this
great company Of elephants is so
novel, so original and so varied, that
1T would be a more simple task to de-
scribe what they do not do than to
enumerate the marvellous things they
actually accomplish. For it must be
understood that these animals are not
merely trained elephants. They are

Again, 1t is our earnest desire to col
lect sufficient funds at this meeting to
pay the remaining expenses of our
Louisiana Test Case. We have just re-
| celved notice from our chief counsel
Lawyer A. A. Birney of WASHINGTON
D. c., informing us that the case is
progressing satisfactorily. "a full re-
port of this case will be made at the
Philadelphia meeting). We have al
ready paid $1,000 for counsel fees. and
$500 are now due. One thousand dol
lars more will be needed when the
flnal decision has been rendered by the
supreme Court Of the United States. If
there ever was a time when every Ne
gro church, college, benevolent society
and other race organizations should
send representatives, accompanied by
the annual tax of five dollars, to "a
great national gathering, now is that
time. The meeting should be so great
in numbers and influence as to forever
set at rest the oft-repeated statement
that the Negro is not interested in his
civil and political rights.
The basis of membership, as proyid-
ed for by the constitution, is: 'The
Afro-American Council shall be COM
posed of members as follows: CD All
persons who hold life membership. (2)
Council delegates, representing duly
accredited Local Councils. (3) Amli-
ated delegates, representing organiza-
lions OF similar plans and purposes
cooperating with the Afro-American
Council. Every local Afro-American
Council shall be entitled to representa-
ton in the National Council by dele
gates elected on a basis of one dele
gate to every fifty members, said dele
gate to qualify upon presentation of
credentials and payment of the annual
tax OF i've dollars. Religious and sec
u!ar organizations which have for their
aim ana work the mental and moral
elevation of the race, and which de-
sire to cooperate with the National
Council, may be represented by affili-
ated delegates, not more than two del
egates to each organization. Said dele
gates shall have the right to vote upon
payment of five dollars for each dele
gate. Editors of Afro-American news
papers and principals of academic
schools and colleges may be admitted
to membership in the National Council
ana be entitled to a vote, upon presen-
tat1on OF credentials and payment of
the annual tax of five dollars.'' b
The citizens of Philadelphia are pre-
pairing to entertain the Council on a
magnificent scale. A special rate of
fare and third on the certificate plan
has been granted on all railroads for
delegates. Those who intend visiting
the Pan-American Exposition at Buff
falo on their way to or from the Coun--
Gil meeting, will be allowed a "stop
over at Philadelphia, thus getting the
advantage OF the half-fare rates.
