place and cried a bit over It. She
wasn't so very far removed from the
girl Of seventeen after all.
Five weeks had gone by and Kent
Harding was still waiting for his an
swer from the unfathomable Miss
Lane. In the meantime vittoria's little
box Of home" In Greenwich village
had seen a good deal Of him, for Wit
torla had proved herself such a stanch
and sincere little friend that he had
elected to make her the confidant of
his passion for another woman. Five
weeks. and then gradually she had
perceived curious silence on Hard
ing's part-a constant inclination when
Miss Lane was alluded to. to change
the topic Of conversation.
One night Vittoria had given a small
dinner party. Harding. being privi-
legged for the sake Of old times, had out
stayed the other guests. He seemed u
bit distracted. and it was long time
before he could get his cigar to draw
properly. The silence somehow to Wit
toria took on terrifying tension. She
strove for some light thing to say.
Suddenly Harding looked up from his
cigar.
"vittoria" he said and put out his
hand and touched hers.
"She was gorgeous tonight. gor-
geous." observed Vittoria meditativcly.

quietly. 'and-I still live, you see."

1t Is not that the president loves
Japan the less but that he loves the
United States more that he makes the
assertion that If the navies of the two
powers should meet ship to ship and
man to man we would win. The presi-
dent never forgets to be loyal. He
gives courtesy where courtesy Is due
but speaks his mind when occasion Of
fers. 1t Is this blunt loyalty to the
government and to his convictions that
has endeared him to the people.

Vator boy in a middle west city. One
day he. sat in the corner of his elevator
when the Office building was closed
and wrote a piece of verse. The next
day he read the verse to a man who had
an Office in the building and who took
kindly interest in the black boy.
The man told the boy that the verse
ne had written was good, he spoke to
someone else about it, and finally in
some roundabout way or otherit was
published.
1t was not very long before someone
else was running the elevator. and Dun
bar, the black boy, was writing poems
and songs, and stories for living-and
making a good living too.
His poems were published in the best
magazines in America.
He went abroad and titled men and
women made great fuss over him.
lie wrote songs and librettos and he
sang and told stories and laughed and
was sick and suffered after the manner
or his race, and then he went home to
MS mother and died-still young man.
Black as ever, and as simple hearted
and kindly and simple hammered as
he was the day he sat in an elevator and
wrote his verses on a torn scrap of
paper with an old stub of pencil.

such evidence as this, to say: 81 would

What chance did that black boy have

race leaping in your joyous veins.
You are nO,prisoner within the cruel
jail of color and of race.
The best in the world is none too
good for you if your hands are strong
enough to grasp it.
What chance do you need-but the
chance you take for Yourself? If you
cannot take the chance be content.

pine tree, but the world needs the grass,

I've done the best could" and you
won't need anyone's pity. But don't
lay the blame of your humble lot in
life and the humble achievements you
are modest enough to make, on chance.
You were not at home when chance
knocked at your door, or, if you were
you were asleep, and did not answer.
Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the black ele-
vator boy, heard opportunity slipping
by in the night and he ran out into the
cold and the dark and caught him, and
chance turned and smiled at the black
boy.

Our Bow.

With this issue we make our in
itial bow to the public in the field
of journalism. We do not claim
that a newspaper in this particular
community to be long felt want,
nor do we aspire to leadership; our
only aim shall be for the progress
and uplifting of a race with which
our destiny is linked forever.
1t should be a source of pride to
the colored citizens of this section
of the country to know, that they
have right here in Helena, proba-
bly, the best equipped printing es-
tablishment west of the Mississippi
river.
We shall at all times advocate
the principles of PEACE, PRosPERI-
TY and UNION. Shall stand up for
the righ and denounce the wrong.
Our mission shall be at no time
to stir up strife, but rather to pour
oil on the troubled waters.
We believe that as a race we
must, if we keep pace with the
mighty procession Of progress, ac-
cumalate something and to a great
er extent than ever become active
in the business world. We realize
that in the past, valuable time has
been lost in frivolitieS and the les
ser things of life, and now if we
keep pace with this mighty pro-
gress of a nation, we must redouble
our efforts along the above lines.
In this section of the country
there are great opportunities for
the frugal and thrifty in mining,
agriculture and other pursuits. We
Shall advocate a developement "a
long these lines, the infusion of
new blood, and encouragement

suits to the colored race in the

the ineXhaustible resources of Mon
Cana' and in doing SO we shall en-
oeoVoI to attract some of best tai
enQand citizenship to this great
Eidolado of the Northwest.
Politics shall always be surbor-
ulhate to the interests and welfare

take definite and decided stand
on all the political questions which
may arise, W shallldo so having in

HIS SONG OF DEATH.

HIS SONG OF DEATH.
Storm and strife and stress.
Lost in a wilderness
Cropping to find a way
Forth to the baunts of day.
Sudden a vista peeps
Out of the tangled deeps;
Only point-the ray
But at the end is day.
Dark is the dawn and chill,
Daylight is on the hill,
Night is the lifting breath,
Day rides the hills of death.

PAPER have been hurled back in
taeir teeth; but we have no time to
parley with this class Of citizens as
thev are the weights upon the pro-
Sress of the race. We have this
class in far too great number, but
they are our and we must bear
with them; tell them the right way
to live and set living examples be-
fore them as a part of our duty.
The Emancipation Proclamation
could not suddenly rid us Of all
that centuries of slavery and bar
barism had left. Ours must be
growth, and those who are guided
by superstition and ignorance will,
OF necessity, be overlooked as we
proceed to take our station in the
front ranks ofthis mighty progress.
Those to whom enterprise and
thrift appeal, we shall ask c0-opera-
ton for a greater spirit of activity
along business lines.
We have, at large cost, put in
operation a complete newspaper
and job office and are prepared to
do any kind of work in our line,
guaranteeing satisfaction. In our
efforts to do business along these
lines, we have an abiding faith that
we shall have the support of all
progressive citizens Of all races and
grasses, and that we shall obtain our
share of the business in our partic-
ular line.
Our offices are located in the
Novelty Block, No. 81 South Main

to visit US and form our acquaint-

a mutual prhgress of all the people
of the community, and for a greater
activity of6ur people in the busi-

With these purposes and the
support of the progressive people
of all classes, we have no fears but
that the people will be benefited
and that another spoke in the
wheel for the progress Of the race
is an accomplished fact.
