Every southern state should have
within It's borders a large school for
the Industrial education Of the Negro,
for In his industrial education hes not
only the steady improvement in the
Negro himself. but the opportunity to
shin a large part Of the burden OF
taxation, support and help from white
shoulders to his own. To-day the Ne
gro race in the South is largely de-
pendent-oyerwheImingly dependent.
Such situation is at once a handi-

pendent he is made better in himself
and by making him a producer he is

Obsyine Instructions.
A milkman who lives in a town Of
New England and collects milk from
the neighboring farmers had in his en-
ploy a boy whom he sent about with
q wagon every morning picking up his
supply. There Is a rather dangerous
railroad crossing on the road, and
when the boy began work for him the
milkman said, when there's q train
coming just stop and sit still In your
wagon till it gets by"
The boy went about his task, but in
stead OF collecting the milk in about
an hour and a half, as should have
been done, he took at least two hours
and sometimes more.
The milkman grumbled a little, but
the boy said nothing. and as he SEEM
ed honest nothing was done.
One evening the miIkman went over
his route to see some Of his customers.
''What ais that boy Of yours7" asked
one Of the farmers.
why, nothing, only that he's rather
SLOW" was the reply.
"Slowl Well, guess you'd think he
was slow II you saw him resting for
half an hour In his wagon down there
By the railroad track every morning"
is 1t true that you stop half an hour
every morning down at the railroad
track" the boy was asked

ABOUT MABEL.

Mabel puzzles me a lot
Mabers changeable, ween,
Pretty Mabel, who is not
Any more than fair eighteen
Mabel has such ruby lips.
Oh, her charms are very many!
Last year she had rounded hips.
This year Mabel hasn't any.
Nabel's eyes are azure blue.
Mabel's cheeks are rosy pink.
She would take your heart from you
II she only smiled, I think.
Yet a tickle maid she trips
Through the world In ways w
canny.
Last year she had rounded hips.
This year Mabel hasn't any.
Mabel's smile Is still the same.
Mabel says her heart Is mine,
Seeing her you would not blame
Ne for kneeling at her shrine.
But the changes Mabel slips
Over me are far too many.
Last year she had rounded hips
This year Mabel hasn't any.

WHO is A cHRIsTlAN'

The following stanzas are taken
from quite a lengthy poem. who Is
Christian?" written by Ella Wheel
er Wilcox:
Who is a Christian in this Christian
land
OF many churches and Of lofty spires
Not he who sits in soft, upholstered
Bought by the profits Of unholy greed,
And looks devotion while he thinks of
gain.
Not he who sends petitions from the
lips
That lie tomorrow in the street and
mart
Not he who fattens on another's toll,
And filings his unearned riches to the
poor,
Or aids the heather with Iessened
wage,
And builds cathedrals with an in
- creased rent
VINO is a Christians 1t is one whose
life
Is built on love. on kindness and on
faith;
Who holds his brother as his other
self;
Who tolls for justice. equity and
peace,
And hides no aim or purpose in his
heart
That win not chord with universal
good.

come down here with your rays, as my
case should be worth your while. II
you cannot come, send q packet OF
rays, with instructions az to use. etc..
and I will see II / cannot manage to
work them myself
1.-THE specialist replied:
Dear Sir: I am sorry that my
engagements prevent my coming to see
you, and that I am out Of rays Just
now. If you cannot come to Berlin
yourself, send me your thorax by ex-
press and I will do the best / a
