THE INEVITABLE.

I like the man who faces what he must
With step triumphant and with heart
OF cheer;
Who fights the daily battle without
fear;
Sees his hopes fall, yet keeps unfalter-
ing trust
That God is good; that somehow, true
and just,
His plans work out for mortals; not
a tear
Is shed when fortune, which the
world holds dear,
Falls from his grasp-better with love
a crust
Than living in dishonor-envies not
Nor loses faith In man; but does his
best,
Nor ever murmurs at his humber
lot;
But, with a smile and words of hope,
gives zest
To every toiler; he alone is great
Who by life heroic conq1ers fate.

THE NEGRO SOLDIER"

Col. r. l.. Bullard of the subsistence
department, late colonel OF the Thir-
tieth Volunteer Infantry. has written
a paper to a serv ce journal on the
negro soldier" which is attracting con-
siderable attention in military circles.
During the Spanish war Col. Billiard
commanded the Third Alabama Volun-
teer Infantry, the enlisted force ol
which was ccmpo' ed entirely OF ne
groes, while all the regimental officers,
except the chaplains, were white men
who had lived in the south. Colonel
Bullard says that the negro soldier is
a good-natured. hcppy person who Is
not worried by climatic dlscomforis or
the irregula tiles of soldiers life. He
does not find them lazy as soldiers and
says that when "in squad" they work
well. AS individuals, how yer. they
are inclined to trifie, and are not up
to the mark as sentinels. Their light
heartedness and good humor makes
the negro complainer a rarity. The
negro starts, too. with a proper appre-
citation of the respect due his commits

knowledge. and as a ne al thing he
lives up to this disciplinary quality.
He does not, how readily lend
himself to the authority OF the nom
commissioned officers. A difficulty In
Furnishing ne ro so diers comes from
their stubbornness, and 1t is even nee
essary. in order to make punishment
effective. to have It carried out with
the ridicule Of comrades. On the other
hand, says Col. Bullard, the negro is
fond OF praise and can be made to ac-
complish much by judicious commen-
dation. The colored soldier Is subject
readily to the moods and excitement
of his commanding officer. II the
captain be little ratified in drill the
effect is seen on his men. II he loses
his head and becomes frightened
or excited his followers are imbued
with the same spirit. In the same
way negroes take sides" in any row
OF which they happen to be the observ-
ers. according to Colonel Bullard. The
negro is a good soldier In the sense
that he is obedient and a splendid
fighter when he is under intrepid off,
GERS who are disciplinarians. The
negro regular in Cuba showed he was
of the right materia'. and 1t must be
assumed that he was a type of all his
race under arms. by character more
submissive to discipline. by nature
more good-humored and happy, from
social position more subordinate to
superiors. from poverty more used TO

 We often suggested that he leave off coffee and tobacco, but he urged that they did not hurt him and were a comfort: so we acquiesced until one day sister insisted on making the coffee 1s Postum Food Coffee, and 1t was made that way for about 10 days until papa seemed brighter and complained less of his head
 That's itr sister. exclaimed, and from that day she served Postum alone with out any coffee.
 Papa never detected the difference for we have learned the secret of making Postum to give 1t a prime crisp flavor; 1t is easy enough, just allow it to continue boiling 15 minutes, counting from the time boiling commences, not from the time it is placed on stove
 We'll, the dear old soul seemed day bv day to take on new life; he began to stay at the office later and was full of fun when he came home in the evening.
 The sprcof is plain enough that, morn ing after morning. year in and year out. we had been feeding our dear old goyer- nor wish coffee that is really a strong liquid drug and it was gradually but sure ly killing him.
 When 1t was partially removed he got a little better and when it was entirely removed and the pure food coffee. Postum, served, his recovery was rapid.
 We don't fool Papa on many things. but we just had to this time for he was steadily and surely leaving us and we love the dear old man too much to leave any thing undone that will keep him here.
