MODEsTY AND SUCCESS.

Modesty is one of the sweetest and
most desirable qualities one can pos
sess, and yet too much modesty hin
ders advancement. When this quality
is overdeveloped, 1t antagonizes ag
gresslveness, without which no great
success can be attained. Success.
LET US BE MODEST.
Every fellow will admit
He's corker from away back.

Always has a merry "say back"
Jest or gibe he'll swiftly pay back.
Still, of course, he's but man.
Let's be modest!

Let's be modest as we can!

Every fellow will confess
He is clever as they make 'em.

Plums on, Fames tree-watch him

Cheerfully proceeds to take 'em!
Still, of course, he's but man.
Let's be modest!
Lets be modest!
Let's be modest as we can!
Let's be modest-in a fashion.
Fame, alasi would soon be gone,
Leaving us IN. fretful fashion.
Lets have modesty Mais non!
Nary fellow will deny
He's peach In some direction.
One on Office has his eye.
He is certain of election.
People view him with affection.
Still, OF course. he's but man.
Let's he modest!
Let's be modest!

TO HELP THE
COLORED RACE
An Important Work Is Being Done
and Has Reached Akron.

three practical boards Of directors,
through which the work of dealing
with matters touching the vital inter-
ests of the race is reduced to strict
business system. The first of these
boards Is an educational and publish
ing board, through which the work of
getting hold of the mind forces of the
colored people in general and educating
them on matters Of life-correcting
the erroneous ideas on life and there
by removing many Of the evils from
among themselves-is taken up in
each district. To this end an educa-
tional course is conducted somewhat
on the plan of the Chautauqua reading
circle
The next is legal, protective and
advisory board, which acts in con-
junction with n central board Of sim
liar character through which the mat
ter of protecting members of the race
against those who are disfranchising,
mobbing lynching and burning them,
is Systematically taken up. Ex-Con-
gresham Geo. NJ. White is at the head
of this department, and is the attorney
general of the national organization.
The third is an emigration and in
dustrial board. Through this board
the work of protecting the homes of
the employing class of the dominant
race against incompetent, reckless and
unworthy help, who by Tier erroneous
ideas are poisoning the minds of the
better class of whites against the race,
is made business To this end the
industrial board of each district will
see to the matter of supplying compe-
tent and efficient members of the order
to those cooperating with, the move
ment At this time Prof, Mitchell says
many worthless colored people are
peihg uriVeh FROM tine South by the
sting of oppression there. and are
fiocking into the North, where they are
being freely employed as servants. and
by their low and vicious habits they
are poisoning sentiment against the
better class of the colores people.
Many good colored people are coming
from the South at the same time, who
are worthy of recognition and good
places, and it is only through such
system as this movement provides
that the worthy can be protected and
the unworthy restrained and held in
check At the head of the movement
are number of the most prominent
ana ihnuential men of the colored race.

4 number of Metal Township citizens
have been the victims of a shrewd shar-
per, who sold them cucumber seeds
that were warranted to produce cucum-
bers two feet long. Theyoung man was
welldressei and oily -tonged and selected
woman as his victims, to whom sold the
seeds at 20 cents a package of five seeds.
The direction were to plant them in a
barrel nearly filed with good rich soil.
which would in a few months produce
immence cucumbers. After several weeks
there being no signs of any vines. pur-

stead of vines they found only wood,
which had evidently been taken from a
maple tree and carved into the shape OF
