to higher plane of life, hundred years

whose flashing swiftness is so startling
to the minds eye it contemplates the
on-rushing of the planets in their spheres

leaden fingers. The mills of the Gods
grind slowly Yet we may often hasten
and assist the working of natures laws
by intelligent cooperation Indeed, is not
this the very principle of all improve
ment, all education. all progress? The
negro problem is serious only where the
negro race exists i'll large numbers rel
atively to the whites. If there We're only
one negro left in Alabama we might be at
ease. We might eye him askance for a
while. but we would soon disassociate
him from the bugaboo of tradition, and
treat him quite naturally. His black skin
would still plant him, as it does every
where, beyond the pale of utilization on
equal social terms, but all the essentials
Of citizenship he might we'll enjoy to the
extent of his abilities and his desires. He
would be still less of a problem If he
had virtue and intelligence. 1t is the
negro In the mass that makes trouble,
and, of course, when the mass is ignorant,
shftless and thriftless the trouble is in
creased an hundred fold. These qualities
in him, together with the attitude of
the white man toward him, have tend
ency to force him into state of iso-
lation wherein he is preyed upon by the
inherent vices of his nature, with the
Inevitable results of deterioration Edu-
cate and improve the race, and yet If 1t
remains numerically strong, you stu have
the problem, for the white race must
ever feel its superiority and must ever
stand at arms against any commingling

The Fortune That Came Too
late.

Five years ago there lived il
the city Of New York 3 man by
the name Of stipek. Stipek wac
not alone; with him were the wife
that be loved aud the five little
children whose prsttle was the
music Of his life.
Into the WorkIngman's mind
there entered one day the dream
OF gOldi From Nome, away up
where the Aurora BOrealis filings
its steamers across the Arctic
heavens be heard voices calling to
him. "COme up, Stipek, and get
richl Come and make your pile
OF golden shinersl Come! COmel
It was a fascinating call, and
the longer the man listened the
more interested did he become.
Did he not love his wife and lit
tie Onesi Upon his soul, he did,
They were the apple Of his eye,
the end.all and the be-all Of his
prayer, his hope and his toll!
For that wife and those children
would he not do anythingi Would
he not go to the end of the world,
away beyond the line of civiliza-
tiOn and it's comforts, and dig and
deny himself, and slave and suffer
for years, if by 80 doing he could
amass the fortune which would
place them in luxuryi
Indeed he would!
And while the call still sounded
In his cars he kissed his loved
ones gOod.by and set out for the
land of gold.
There was nothing the matter
with the heart of William Stipek.
He meant we'll; he had the pluck
and the perseverance in him; and
up under the flashing Aurora and
midst the searching winds he dug
and dreamed and dreamed and dug
until, sure enough he got his for
tune-fve hundred thousand in
gold!
Three months ago there was no
happier man on earth than William
Stipek, and, speaking after the
manner Of men, he had reasons for
being happy. He was rich-in
dollars and cents-and was now in
shape to do for his loved ones all
that his heart desired.
One day last week stipek rang
the bell at his llttle.hOme. Straight
from the train be had headed him.
self for that belll The nervous ring
brought a stranger to the door,
and from that stranger Stipek
learned that his wife was dead,
and that the little ones we're being
cared for by a relative!

The BUSY MOTHER

Mother Nature is busy as busy can be,
And if you could take just one peep,
You would see that she's working as
hard as she can
To get all her babies to sleep.
In their tiny brown cradles some
swing from the trees,
Soft wrapt in their blankets of down,
And others rest snug as a bug in a
a rug,
Far down in the earth, warm and
brown.
Not a bit do they care for the willy
Jack Frost,
Who'd nip every baby in sight,
For their Mother has made them the
Warmest of beds
And tucked them in cosy and tight.
And so sweetly they'll sleep, while the
cloud fairies lay,
Above them blanket of snow,
Until buebirds call softly, when
spring days have come
Awake little babies. and grow"

Helen, but she soon forgot the fact
when the joy of coloring the eggs
came. She went to bed early and as
soon as she had put down the shades
and put out the light she heard a
great noise outside her window. At
first she was frightened, but laughed
at her fears as she recognized old
Biddy's shrill cackling above the rest.
She opened the window and looked
out.
Oh, what a different world outside!
All was made of eggshell-all the trees,
all the houses, all the flowers, even
the ground seemed made of eggshell.
Hearing her open the window lot
of hens came running out from all
the houses and from behind the trees.
"Come OUT Come out!" they cried.
She laughed and jumped out of the
window. AS she struck the earth or
eggshell she noticed it made hol-
low sound and she was careful not
to jump any more as she did not
know where she would go if she fell
through.
Nov, see how you like to be
dyed" angrily cried Biddy.
Helen followed along the street, fear
ing each time she stepped she would
go through. Soon she saw a
large building and into this building
they went. Presently they came to a
large room filed with tanks and tubs
full of dyes.
Take your choice cried Biddy.
Helen looked at all the tanks Then
she chose a small covered one in the
corner.
THAT one" she cried.
Jump in," slowly said Biddy, tax
ing off the lid.
Helen jumped in, closed her eyes
and felt herself falling down, down
down until she struck something hard
opened her eyes and saw mamma
bending over her and asking her il
she had a good bed. She had faller

OUR VISIT TO LONG BEACH
BY NeIIye CampbeIl-Age Fourteen
Years


Years
Here we are sitting in the train wait
ing to start to see Long Beach. over
bridges, through fields, by shady hooks
we go, rich fields of alfalfa, with their
valuable herds of cattle gazing over
in our direction are passed. We are
nearing the city of Long Beach. Houses
with beautiful gardens begin to appear
on both sides of us.
Turning from America avenue into
Ocean Front the surf meets our eyes.
Hundreds are enjoying the air and
water. We look to our left and there
is large building, which is the pa
vilion where concerts are given every
day in the year.
One of the best things here is the
nnty thousand dollar bath house. 1t
is said to be the best and largest one
in the south. We look out on the sen
for the yachts and find that quite a
number are visible, but not so many
as We expected to find. We all had a
very nice time riding in one of the
yachts.
We now have time until our train is
due, so we think we will go to see
the chidren's playing ground, where
the little ones are both climbing and
swimming. We now take the train and
go to our hotel and we think whoever
comes to California and goes back
without seeing Long Reach misses one
of the finest places in California.
In the same week we visited san
Pedro, Santa Monica, Catalina island
and Terminal Island. We had twenty
four people in our crowd and every
one of us thought Long Beach the best.

MISS MARY's PETS
BY Lily Baston-CIass C-Eleven
Years


I have lately arrived from England.
and I am going to tell you about Miss
Mary's pets, These were a pig and
monkey. She called the pig Uncle
John, and the monkey Trixie. Both of
these little fellows were very intelli-
gent. Uncle John always knew as
well when it was meal time as if he
carried a Waterbury watch.
Miss Mary had breakfast at seven
O'Clock, dinner at twelve, and supper
at five. At these hours Uncle John
was always at the gate, and there ne
would stand and squeal until Trixie
brought his meal. The monkey some
times teased him by holding the food
under his nose, and then, of a sudden,
running away with it so fast that the
pig could not catch him.
When Uncle John had finished his
meal he would give satisfied grunts.
and hunt mud puddle to lie down in.
Trixie had a little table in the kitchen.
He sat in his chair and Miss Mary
pinned a napkin under his chin.
This made him look so comical! Some
times he would jump on Uncle Johns
back for a ride. This made the pig
angry, and away he would go, around
and around. But Trixie held on fast
and would not get off until he was
tired, Then he would bound away so
that the pig could not get him.
| have often wondered how Trixle
and Uncle John are, and | hope | shah
