 There are those who foster with spe- cies of delighted resentment the idea that other people-those, perhaps, closest to them by ties of blood or affection-do not realize their powers or appreciate their finer nature. Now I submit that this Is not only silly affectation but sheer stupidity.
 Virtues and powers locked up in the vault of a mans consciousness are worth less; they become valuable only when they are put. into circulation. No one cares at all for the jingle in your poek- cts You are not worth a penny more than you can pay.
 If this idea were more generally under stood there would not be so many people who require explanation.
 It Is not until you have known Jones for number of years. always regarding him as a stupid and surly creature, that Smith comes along and tells you what a good fellow he is. Acting on this infor- nation you proceed to draw Jones out and you find that you have misjudged him. So you say. but I question the ap- propriateness of the remark. The re- sponsibility is on Jones for not having appeared in his true colors

AN OBJECT LESSON.
BY DAVID W. PARKER.

1. The United States Supreme court has untwisted a great big knot in the negro problem, in it's decision of the Giles negro suffrage question, and this decision was handed down by MT. Jus tice Holmes a republican, and confirmed by a republican supreme court. The most vigorous dissenter was MT. Justice Harlan, a democrat.
 ?. For political redress the negro need look no longer to the north. The north knows a thing or two.
 3. Long before the civil war the north quit the importation of slaves, because the business was not profitable for cold, bleak New England, and sold many of their slaves to the south. In an able editorial, About the Race Problem Editor John c. Williams of the Tallade- ga Our Mountain Home said: "Faneuil Hall, the boasted cradle of liberty, was built by Joseph Faneuil out of the profits of the slave trade. The testimony of Hon. John c. Williams can be verified by the musty records of Boston, Salem and New England.
 4 No human being whether white or black, democrat or republican, regrets the emancipation of any race, but sensi- ble men of both races and parties, north and south, fully realize that no political party, no court nor congress can raise, or rather rage, a people higher than properly laid foundation in the fundamen- tai principles of government will per init.
 D. The progress of my people Is marvel ous, and the future of the race Is big with advancement untold, but the negro must learn that liberty does not mean H. cense.
 G. The south has been far better to my people than many of them appreciate Both sections-north and south annual. ly give in person, or by taxation, millions of money for the amelioration of the con- dition of the negro. It is the duty of ev- cry colored man to serve God, properly care for his family and work In peace and harmony with his white neighbor for the good of all and the glory of the great free American republic. Bessemer, Ala.

DOING ONES BEST.
PeopIe who Take ThInas tod EasIIy.

People Who Take Things too Easily. Anna Woodward in the Chicago News.
 The majority of people only make the most of themselves when some stronger person comes along and by criticism and commands compels them to undertake what they have regarded as impossible In other words they have held the wrong idea of what was the best they could do. They have underestmated their ability and nursed quite a wrong conception of the merits of their daily work.
 Don't get into the way of humbugging yourself Take a look at your self-com- placent personality from the other mans point of view. It may be that he sees you as you are, whereas you have only seen yourself as you think you are. Whenever you have a task entrusted to you don't do it as you please. but as you would expect someone else to do 1t. Try the hard way and conquer the impossible impediment Feel ashamed each time some one else makes you do what you have declared could not be done. There is not a living soul who can do things better than you if you will once cease un- derestimating your powers for the sake of saving yourself trouble. Whenever you are tempted to say Too much is lex- pected of me" say instead, T am falling short of what is possible"
 Nothing is more unworthy than to feel aggrieved because others are not satis- fled with too. low standard which you are pleased to consider your finest effort Nor does 1t seem unnecessary to point out that if it is ridiculous to suffer on account of an imaginary self or state of feelings or because of our satisfaction with suppositous best efforts it is also inconsistent to suffer on account of a real self that is preserved as a mystery and kept safely out of reach of communi- cation with others. Nevertheless this Is

feature in the production of ''The Girl from Paris"
 It is urgently requested by the manage ment that all the patrons of the house be seated at S:3O, at which time the curtain will positively be rung up each night during the week. It is source of great annoyance to the theatergoers who come early to witness a performance to be dis turbed or annoyed by late comers who could easily afford to make the start for the theater little earlier.
 The engagement of the Giffin Musical Comedy company promises to be the event of the season at the Bijou, and '.The Girl from Paris' Is thought to be just the sort of entertainment the people want There Is every indication that the Bijou will be crowded all the week.

 The Giffin Musical Comedy company will appear at the Bijou for the nrst tune tomorrow night. and during the week the merry and dazzling musical offering aThe Girl from Paris" will be the plll'
 To properly produce this wonderfully clever musical comedy the full ana com plete strength of sthe organization Will be reouired Lt will be richly mounted ana ma GIT, acently costumed. All of the nt- teen principals have assignments, ana soma of the cleyerest of the men ana women of the chorus have been given lieht parts that will offord an opportunity for the critics to witness a demonstra- ton of the capabllity of the company. With the draft of the stage manager on the chorus there will still remain quar- ter of a hundred men and women, who will swell the chorus numbers and who will assist in making stage pictures that will be more than attractive.
 The Giffin Musical Comedy company Is said to be in every way strong organi- zation. It was never organized to play at DODuidT pilCO5I DAh ACt NAtS f'N~N N-offr weeks has been a magnetic attraction at the Academy of Music in both Richmond and Norfolk where the scale of prices IS considerably more than in the Wells houses.
 It seems to be a foregone conclusion that the Bijou will hardly be large enough to accommodate the vast gather ings that will seek admission during the week. This Is being demonstrated, for .i.o of te,N a U morning there was an unusual interest in the box office and the ticket sellers were well nigh worn out.
 There are forty-five members of the Giffin company. There are principals, chorus people, musical director, electri- clans, stage carpenters, property masters, ballet master, and wardrobe people. They have been working together for several weeks, and the press notices of The Girl From Paris" that appeared in the Rich mond and Norfolk papers declared that the company and the piece made good.
 Miss Dora de Filippe, the prima donna, came to this company direct from the forces of Mascagni. She possesses a beau- tiful soprano voice, ranging from, B flat | to high D, She successfully sang the | prima donna role of ''Cavalleria Rusti- | cana" and Iris and the eccentric Mas | cagni endorses her work in the most en- l thusiastic and complimentary manner.
 Miss de Flllppe Is dainty little woman,
 and one that will become greatly popu-
 lar with the theatregoers. This is her l first experience in musical comedy com l pany, and she likes it.
