NTTV
NIFTY.

The time is past when the only Ca
reers in life open to. a Negro were to
pick cotton, make up berths in a Pull
man Sleeping car, or wait on table
The study of the Negro population by
the Census Bureau discloses some
facts that show very clearly that the
colored race is steadily developing a
complete social and industrial system
of its own There is hardly any
branch Of industry in which Negroes
are not represented, and that state
ment includes the women as well as
the men.
One of the most serious difficulties
which the colored person has to con-
tend with is prejudice against the
dark color of their skin. Recent sci
entific discoveries have made it pos
sible for the Negro to rid himself Of
this inconvenience. The discovery Of
Black-No-More has done much to aid
the Negro in his upward progress
/ le more intelligent Negroes will lose
no time in taking advantage OF this
opportunity to convert their dark skin
into white. Indeed from the reports
that are coming in from all parts OF
the country it looks as if the colored
face will soon be a thing Of the past

Recently, during the process of i'm
Paneling a jury for the circuit court in
the District of Columbia, one Of the
talesmen requested the court to excuse
him from service, offering in excuse
the fact that he was deaf.
Very gently Chief Justice Bingham,
who was on the bench, asked the tales
man if he could hear what he, Judge
Bingham, was saying
"Oh, yes. sir" replied the reluctant
but truthful citizen.
How then, pray, does your affection
affect you?" queried his honor.
