The speaker was a Philadelphian

has now mistakenly given way to the
idea that he is too old to be much of
an orator. He continued:

= The average Negro is a much
better citizen this year, so far, than
he was last. This is due in a
great measure to the influence ex-
erted by the press. In nearly ev-
cry home one sees one or more
Negro papers and other periodi-
Gals of high class order, which is
evidence of a material advance
ment along proper lines. Even
the big Negro is now being ham
mered into line. The next decade
will bring about such a reform and
appreciation of Negro enterprises
as will hardly fall short of univer-
salty. While there is yet much
to be achieved along this line, fav-
orable comment is due the already

thus taken. Dallas Express.

Through Lies Grim Path

Can all that Time can e'er essay.
Can marble. urn or bust
Reanimate this robe of clay
When crumbled into dust?
Can Flattery in phrases smootn
Restore the vital breath,
Or Honor Wealth or Grandeur soothe
The slumber deep of Death?
So while we're here let's cast our oreao
Upon the waters tide.
And fiow'rs in rich profusion spread
AS on thro' life we glide:
Let's scatter them while yet we may,
Ere yet our day is done,
And bear rejoicing our way
Good will to ev'ryone.
Then for the living let us live,
The right to do dare,
Our benedictions freely give,
Each others burdens bear;
Let's have a tear for those VINO weep
a sigh for those who mourn.
A charity that's broad and deep,
n care for the forlorn.
Then when the silver cord Is borke,
The golden bowl is rent,
The cistern wheel has ceased its stroh'
The fount it's waters spent

Released from all its STRIFE.

MANS inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousands mourn"
His love of self has been his ban
Which he has always borne;
Thro all his generations back,
Since first he had his birth.
His selfishness has left its track,
Its impress on the earth.
"Ah, / my brothers keeper?" Yes,
You surely are, o mani
''ris yours to aid him in distress,
And help him all you can:
To reach to him helping hand,
While yet he journeys here,
And seldom him to reprimand,
But often him TO cheer.
For life's a rough and thorny road
And has its rainy days;
And heavy often is the load
We bear in many ways;
Tis burdened with thousand cares,
Which leave their mark and trace,
And thickly set with many snares
That trip us in its race.
And as we tread this trembling sphere
One fact we surely know:
That when our journeys ended here
'Tis last of us below;
For certain tits We'll ne'er retrace
The path we trod before,
Nor run again another race,
Nor Time know any more.

Roosevelt, while strong in his
views, is not an extremist. There
are those who believe corporations
can do no wrong and others
who believe they can do no
good. Roosevelt belongs to neith-
er clsss. He is engaged in no
warfare upon corporations as such.
He simply demands what every
loyal citizen can support, that the
good corporations be protected
from the radicals and that the bad
corporations be made to be good.

MACHINE THAT

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug 1S.-To
William NJ. Porter of Woodlawn be-
longs the credit of having invented a
money-changing machine that prom

cent to 500. He starts for Chicago

vention on the market 1t is ANNOUNCE
ed that a Chicago firm has contracted
to take several thousand of the ma
chimes annually.
The invention works by the press
of a button. much as any other cash
register is operated. If it is desired
to take 10 cents out of dollar, the
feat is done by pressing the 90-cent
button. This operates the required
mechanism and the coin drops into
the operators hand. Equally as sim
pie is the act of making change in any
amount up to 500.
The machine distributes all coins
put into it and registers the amount
of money. A funnel-shaped hopper
receives the coin desired to be chang
ed, and a system of automatic slots
opens and dNtributes the coins. a
register is also made of every coin
that goes out of the machine and the
same is automatically charged.

Hunter was employed in the saloon
