If you will be nothing. Just wait
to be somebody.
Poverty is the want of much.
avarice the want of everything.
No tyranny of circumstances can
permanently inprison a determined
will.
ldleness travels very leisurely, and
poverty soon overtakes ner.
More men fail through ignorance
of their strength than through know
ledge of their weakness.
You NAV succeed when others do
not believe in you, but never when
you do not believe in yourself.
Man is not merely the architect of
his own fortune, but he must also
lay the bricks himself.
He alone is happy who has learned
to extract happiness, not from ideal
conditions, but from the actual ones
about him
Man was made for growth. Per-
petual expansion is his normal con-
dition. To have an ambition to grow
larger and broader every day. to
push the horizon of ignorance lit
tie further away, to become a little
richer in knowledge. a little wiser,
and more of man, that is an am
bition worth while.
As a rule, he will be the most
successful man VINO has himself best
In hand, who is the best schoolmas-
ter to himself, and who compels him
self to the discipline and drill which
will strengthen mis- deficiencies and
eliminate his weaknesses the man
who is the best trainer of himself

NATURE AS A RECoNsTRUCToR


Mature repairs her ravages-re-

Osteopatny is one of Natures most
used instruments in repairing her
ravages. Take the Osteopathic treat

mary cause and removes It. not IN
administering a common known sed-
ative to on and all alike, but by a
simple mechanical manipulation.

Constipation can be cured only by
observing natures laws. The regular
movements of the bowels depend on
their nerve AMI blood supply. If one
or the other is disturbed in any way
there is disorier-sickness Osteop-

NEGRO TROOPER
FOR PHILIPPINES
Are to be Enlisted at Local
Recruiting Office
Eight Regiments Are Under Orders
10 BE on Duty There in Six
Months.
SERGEANT BLAKE REMAINS.

Instructions in the latest bulletin
from the war department at Wash
ington, to recruiting officers, direc
the enlistment of sufficient negro
troops to fill the vacancies caused by
President Roosevelt's Brownsville
order, dismissing three companies
and the natural vacancies occurring
in the service. Sergeant Blake has
received the bulletin at the local re-
cruting Office and following instruc'
tions, will accept applications from
negroes. 1t is required that all ne
gro applicants be able to read and
write with facility.
In this bulletin 1t is specified that
all the eniistments will go to the
Philippine islands for service. The
order sending the three negro regi-
ments to the Philippines, which
caused much speculation, from their
connection with the Brownsville in
cident, is cleared up somewhat. by a
later order sending five white regi-
ments with the three negro regiments
to the Philippines. The bulletin di-
reefs the enlistment of men for these
eight regiments and gives the re-
cruiting officer authority to assign
the men to the Philippine service. All
recruits enlisted by Sergeant Blake
from now on, until the regiments are
filled out, will go direct to the Phil
ippines.
The eight regiments ordered to the
Philippine islands will start Febru-
airy 1, and are all expected to be in
service there within six months. They
are the 18th, 26th, goth and Saith,
white infantry regiments, and the
25th, negro infantry regiment. The
9th, white cavalry, and the 9th and
2Sth negro cavalry regiments com
plete the detachment.
The sending of eight regiments at
one order to the Philippines with the
troops already there is a matter of in
terest. 1t is known that General
Wood has asked the war department
for more troops but further than
that no information has been given
out. The order affords a fine oppor-
tunity for young men to get into in
teresting service right away without
the necessity of camp life at an army
post.

Cairo opening a new recruiting sta
ion, left this morning for Cairo to
open the Office himself, and Sergeant
Blake has been relieved from the

aptitude here, that it was thought
to have Sergeant Blake
pen the Office in Cairo.

swettepham. OF Jamaica, who ordered
Admiral Davis with his blue jackets
{ leave Kingston, because Swetten-
ham was jealous of the capability
displayed by the American admiral
and his men in the emergency. It is
needless to suggest that Governor
Swettenham is not able to cope with
the situation. A man who would
stoop to such petty spite in the face
of such a crisis as confronts Jamaica
only arouses surprise that he could
have climbed so high. Governor
Swettenham, no doubt, will be found
of little further use to his country.

Warning to merchants has been
given by Superintendent Keebler, of
the city lighting plant, against leav-

such stage now that the pumps at
the sanitary sewerage pumping sta

mains into cellars.
May Withstand Flood.
Louisville, Jan. 2S.-Repairs ,on
the Pennsylvania bridge fill, west of
the reformatory, are going on at a
furious rate, and it is the opinion of
those in charge of the work that the
flood will be kept in check unless
there is future rise.
1t is generally believed, however,
that the fill cannot stand even anoth-
er inch of water, and there is great
apprehension lest the walls become
weakened by the food and give way.
If the decline should begin within
the next few hours the fill will stand
the pressure. If the river remains
stationary for twelve hours, and the
wind shifts fom the north to the
northwest, it is almost certain that
the fill will give wav.

THE EDUCATIONAL CONGRESS.

The sixth annual session of the ed

was held with the Liberty O. M. E.
Church and the Berean Baptist
Church in this city, November 2S, 29.
This was by far the greatest session
known in the history of the congress.
The programs which had been pre-
Dared were by far the most INTEREST,"
ing, and there were many talented
versions taking special part in the mu.
sic, while some of the hrainiest men
IN the western and middle part OF the
state were on program.
The educational congress movement
IS no doubt doing a great good for the

Of ROGER Williams University. was
seen by a Globe representative and

r The celebration will be under the di.

but the citizens in general are equally
interested and will join forces with
them to make the celebration a sue
2ess. Every Negro man, woman and
child is concerned about this day. It
reaches them all alike in one sense Of
the word. Many hours have been
spent by the listening to the horrible
tortures endured by their parents dur
ing the days of slavery. How they
were driven by cruel owners of hu-
man souls in those dark days. 1t is a
portion of history of the Ethiopian
race that can never be blotted out. So
the young men and women are pre-
pairing to celebrate the act that put
stoD to those brutalities.
| To those parents who endured the
hardships of those bloody days the
i emancipation celebration is sacred
and they are anxious that their chill
ldren be taught to reverence the procla-
nation that set them free.
