NEGRO LABOR IN FACTORIES.

Work in manufacturing lines is be-
coming more intensive, and requires,
for success, men who are not only skill
ed, but who live an orderly life and
have acquired special traits of charac-
ter. Character Is coming to be the
paramount factor in all lines of activ-
ity. The chief difference between races,
nations and individuals is in character,
rather than in intellect. The Greeks
We're mighty in intellect, but they sue
cumbed to the corruptions of the flesh.
Even the French people acknowledge
their own deficiency in ability to give
the prolonged attention and to exercise
the patience and self-restraint so nee
essary to factory life; and hence l do
not hesitate to say that the negro has
not yet reached the stage of develop
ment which fits him for manufacturing
occupations. The statement should not
shock the most optimistic of the negro
race, for the reason that after a CEN
fury of trial the white man is hardly
yet qualified for such work.
1.-THE great problem for the negro, as
for all races Of men, is the building of
character 1t is only the moral race
that makes progress. Teaching the ne
gro to read and write is not solving the
problem of his destiny. He must be
established in those occupations which
correspond to his stage of development.
With the proper industrial footing. he
cannot have too much literary or other
knowledge. The greatest mistake that
the negro has made in the past "a mis-
take made by most white people, has
been the attempt to start at the top in
stead Of at the bottom. 1 think that
the avenues should be kept open for
any exceptionally endowed negro to
reach the very summit of human at
tainment, but for the great mass of the
race, the most rapid lines Of advance

man.
THE NEGRO IN THE ARMY.
Given the physique and disposition
required of Uncle Sans enlisted men,
there is no better place for the negro
than the regular army. In physique he
is apt to average better than the white
soldier. As a rule he is larger and more
muscular, and he generally makes the
more cheerful soldier. Moreover, learn
ing his place, as he quickly does in the
army, he consequently also learns self
respect, as he can never learn 1t from
those who, ignorant of his character
and shortcomings, waste so much time
and so much sense in telling him he is
the white mans equal morally, socially
and Intellectually. There is very real
dignity about these negro sergeants
who look back proudly upon twenty
and thirty years of every kind of SER
vice in their regiment, and in every
way content to remain non-commis-
stoned officers, and content with the
knowledge that as such they are we'll
nigh Indispensable to their company
commanded. They are jealous of their
company's reputation and honor, not
only as fighters-and there isn't regi-
ment in the army that has not made
stirring record in war-but as soldiers
in all other respects as well-neatness,
briskness, swift obedience, loyalty to
their officers and pride in their splendid
calling. And finally the negro is bet
ter cared for in return for the right to
require of him his life, if need comes,
than he is in other callings, for it must
always be remembered that our army
is the best paid, the best fed and the
best treated army, as regards rank and
file, in the world. 1t has not yet been
my privileges to see these men in action,
but l know that their officers are proud
Of them and the standard of their Off
GERS is high.-Letter to Providence

SIGNS OF WARM WEATHER.

Turkey Bone Forecaster Predicts Good
Warm Weather for Months.
The turkey bone weather prognosti-
Gator has made his deductions for the
coming winter. He says the bone is
remarkably clear the entire length,
until just at the end there is a black
place, which indicates that the winter
will be open and warm until just at he
close when there will be severe storms
and perhaps a sever blizzard. But I'M
til long after the New Year comes in
the weather will be very warm.
The next one to be heard from is the
man who uses the goose bone, and he
should make report soon. The corn
husk prophet has not had anything to
say about thick husks yet, so it is pre-
sumed the husks are not. Of unusual
thickness this season, another indica-
ton that the weather will be favor

is another indication of warm weather

THE BUYER OF BEEF.
He Is Man of Consequence About
the Stockyards.

He Is a Man of Consequence About
the Stockyards.
The buyer occupies a position of con-
sequence in the stoclSyards community.
He is an expert, usually a man of mid
die age, who has obtained his educa-
ton and technical ability partly in the
packing houses and partly on the ranch.
An experienced buyer is likely to re-
ceive a salary Of $4,000 to $4,000 a
year, and he is worth all of that, for on
his ability to tell by moments in
spection what quality of beef will be
produced by a steer that he never be-
fore laid eyes on depends primarily the
excellence Of the product issued by his
house and hence the increase of it's
business.
The buyers work is not arduous and
to all appearance his task is a simple
one. He walks along the fiat board
laid along the top of the fence, glanc-
ing keenly at the cattle in the different
pens. Some he passes by without a
pause, others he stops to inspect more
closely, and occasionally he displays
his interest in group by asking a
question or two of the man in charge.
Long experience enables him at a
glance to distinguish between a grass
fed steer and corn fed steer, to de-
eide whether an animal Is entitled to
be classed as fancy" good or Conn
mon" and to guess within few pounds
of an animals exact weight by glanc-
ing at him. The buyer makes his pur-
chases con the hoof," having the mar
ket price ruling for the day for the
grade In which it is decided each group
of cattleb elongs. In a few words the
transaction is completed, and the buy
ers interest in the affair is ended
