Success.

IN OUR recent article on this topic
we dwelt upon the error of narrow
mindedness and the Importance
of broadening and elevating our
range of vision. But, it may be argued
that persons of humble or obscure
parentage, with little or no education,
have no opportunities for intellectual
development or attainment. And right
here is where millions of people make
fatal Mistakes; millions of men simply
get on the sea of life, float out with
the tide, down the current of life,
having no fixed purpose, starting from
nowhere, reaching nowhere, ending no.
where, having no past, no present, no
future, trusting to fate or luck to
furnish them an existence, sometimes
by their own exertions, but too often
by the exertion of other people.
However humble our station in life,
or whatever our envirOnments-even
here within these walls-we have op-
portunities for intellectual improve
ment. The paths that have led to
wealth and greatness have started from
the most obscure and unpromising be-
ginnings. We are living in q wonder
fully progressive age; an age in which
conditions are changing with almost
lightning rspidity. Circumstances of
industry are such that men must train

if they wish to keep pace with modern
inventions and the general progress of
the world. A broader range of thought
leads to broader range of literature,
and broader range of literature in
turn leads to still broader range of
thought and broader range of vision.
We should not be content to read for
mere entertainment, but to inform and
improve ourselves and to acquire
results. We may thus keep abreast of
the times and realize the relation of
that progress to the great permanent
historical developments. By reading
instructive literature, reading care
fully, thoughtfully, studiously, striving
to indelibly impress the more important
and valuable thoughts upon our minds,
we can gather fresh ideas every day
ideas which will be helpful and valuable.
Senator Benjamin Tilman of South
Carolina having received but few
months schooling in his youth, was at
thirty years of age an illiterate farmer
plowing with mule and an OK.
Having been unjustly snubbed one day
by the governor of his state, he resolved
to read, study, cultivate and develop
his faculties and become governor
himself inside of twenty years, and
show the aristocracy of South Carolina
a thing or two. Instead of twenty
years, he was elected governor in less
than twelveEyears from the time he
made this resolution. We are familiar

To the Editor of THE MIRROR.

NOME weeks ago there appeared
in THE MIRROR an article on
~ "How to make the best use of
the spare hours" that are left
the prisoner; and if remember rightly
you invited suggestions OH this subject.
In one of the following issues someone
suggested the use of the dictionary as
a profitable and instructive manner of
improving these hours, and if my
memory serves me correctly, he said
that everyone, no matter what position
he occupied for the time being, should
be able to read and write correctly, and
that correct writing will in the long
run procure man places, which other
wise he never could hope to obtain.
All this must be highly appreciated
as being only too true, and because it
shows that the contributors to THE
MIRROR have the best interests of their
fellow prisoners at heart, but neverthe-
less have to find fault with many Of
these writer's for the following reason:
They suggest good and useful ideas,
but do not tell those who wish to i'm
prove their education how to 60 about
it. Of course they-the writer's being
men of education, know how to make
use of their spare hours in the way
they consider best for their interests,
but the majority of the prisoners,
though eager to acquire knowledge, do
not know how they shall 60 about it.
1t is very far from me to set up the
following suggestions as impossible to
improve on:-on the contrary, l chal-
lenge criticism, firstly of you, and then
of those who know better than l do
how to give hints and make suggestions,
but as everything must have a begin
ming l am ready to be sacrificed upon
the altar of "Self-improvement" by
those who, after beginning has been
made, know better, and may sneer at
the suggestions, that in their wisdom
may seem foolish or impracticable.

dictionary may be made somewhat
attractive in the following way: Select

A very queer plant belongs to the
pea family and is called the "moving
plant" on account of the manner in
which it's leaves turn around of their
own accord or go by jerks, without be-
ing touched or in any way disturbed.
Sometimes only one or two leaves on a
plant will be affected; at other times
they will all perform jumps and gyra-
tions simultaneously. It is observed
that the movements are most energetic
when the thermometer marks about 80
degrees.

What of the Negro?

T HAS always been mystery to
the people of the north why the
i nOnslaveholding class in the
south fought SO ardently during
the war. No explanation seems to
solve the mystery. Let us first note
by way of explanation, that in the
mountains of North Carolina, Tennes.
see, and Virginia (now West Virginia.
where the negro was unknown, the
poor whites did not fight or else fought
on the Federal side. Let us also recall
that the enormous emigration that took
place from the south was chiefly a
labor emigration, and even the wealthy
when threatened with poverty, fed
These things were because every work
ingman who knew the negro looked
with fear upon the day of his eman-
cipation.
The laboring man who knows what
it means to have to under-live his
fellow will always hate the negro.
There are today thousands of negroes
in the south living on a ration that
costs 81 cents day, or less than $3.50
per month, while if pressed they can
live on half of that sum. Imagine the
fate of the white man who has to
compete with such labor.
Lured by higher wages, many negroes
journeyed to the north, to New York,
Philadelphia, Chicago and other large
cities. AS a rule, they are the best
trained workers of their race in the
south, and hence the highest livers, but
they under-live all competition so
easily and cut wages with such profit
to themselves that the hatred of the
negro, always felt by the workers of
the south, is beginning to be felt at the
north, and this is the true and only
reason of the late race riots. Wherever
he goes, disenchantment follows.
In the south there are many men,
formerly wealthy, who were ruined by
the war and reduced to competition with
negro labor. Their children are now
coming to the front with an hereditary
intelligence sharpened by adversely,
but with their very mothers milk they
have drawn hatred of this negro that
is as the hate of hell.
The negro received from the south
as a Qift American residence. the Eng
lish tongue, the opportunities of the
Christian religion, sound body and
thorough training in agricultural and
all the domestic arts. After two
centuries he received as a gift from
the south freedom, citizenship, and tho
ballot. In the next generation he re-
ceived from the two sections again as
a gift, $2OOOOOOOO in education,
and he still stands as beggar at the
door of the south, now q criminal

have two or three different vOwels, and
then try to form out OF this word as
many new words as you can. You
may make it rule that in the new
words no letter of the original word shall
appear ottener than once, or you may
not make it-just as you please, but
if made once, you have strictly to
adhere to it. Now take for instance
the word, Penitentiary. Out of this,
and using in each new word the original
letters only once, you may form the
following words,-perhaps even more:
Pen, pent, penn, penitent,
penny, par, year, pry, pray,
pin, pie, eat, it, ante, tar,
tart, treat, tear, 1.-TWO mean

tip, trap, nape, paint, taint,
painter, rain, rainy, party,
part, pit, pity, net, pet, rat,
rate, prate, etc.
Now some of these words will be
quite familiar to you, and you will
have no difficulty whatever in forming
them, others, not familiar to you, you
must look up in the dictionary. The
latter has to be consulted very fire.
quently in order to see whether what
you have formed are real words, or
only a jumbling together of letters
without meaning. Let us suppose that
you have formed "patty," which may
not be familiar to you. By looking
this word up in the dictionary you will
find that you have really formed new
word, and will at the same time discover
it's meaning. However, should you
have formed "pytta," you will find by
looking in the dictionary, that there is
no such word.

THE MAN WHO COULD

He seemed so sad, he looked so ill,
Twas this grim fact that bothered him.
He could not swim.

o, then, the boat would sure go down,
And should drown"
He could not bear alone, his life,
And so one day, brought home wife;
But now new fact saddened him
She could not swim.
"Alas!" he cried, I'VE both are doomed,
would to heaven we were entombed;
And If we both fall in the sea,
She can't save me-"
