Although the use Of bloodhounds

another ancient use OF these dogs
seems to have died out Bloodhounds
were at one time often called upon
to assist an army IN the field. the
forces with which the earl OF Essex
suppressed the Irish rebellion In the
time OF Elizabeth. for instance, being
accompanied by 500 dogs. In the Scot
fish clan feuds and the wars between
England and Scotland bloodhounds
were regularly employed in tracking
fugitive warriors. and both Wallace
and Bruce were hunted in this man
uer. Wallace is said to have bafiled
his pursuers by killing a follower and
leaving the corpse for the hound to
find, while Bruce adopted the less
cruel plan OF wading some distance
down stream and ascending tree
which overhung the water.

NEGRO BOXERS CLEVER.
Their Success Due to Careful Study
Of ths Fighting Ar.

Their Success Due to Careful Study
Of tbs Fighting Art
The cieverness Of the Negroes who
hare tried for h0nors in the pugilsstic
game would give many Of the white
boseTs plenty Of food for thought il
the: would stop to consider the rea-
son. writes Sam Berger.
Out OF a 1900. 600 white population
as against 100000 Negroes 1t IS
significant fact that sucn great per
centage OF cur colored brethren have
climbed the ladder Of pugilistie fame.
Men like Cans, LAngford and Johnson
are bright particular stars In slugdom,
uiss,e many colored men less famous
have had remarkable success In the
ring. Their success in most instances
las been due to their cIeyerness. In
other words. in considering the c0lored
men who have excelled in the boxing
game you viii find that without ex-
ception cleverness has been their chief
attribute.
THE reason for their display Of ring
fnastership opens food Of discussion.
N The white fighter is usually lad
who has developed his muscles by dint
Of early hard work in a blacksmith
shop or Ill some other trade where
hard work is the means OF producing
the weekly stipend. He seldom studies
the boxing game in the same way that
be studied his trade Neither does he
stop 10 figure that TO perfect himself
in the science OF boxing close applica-
ton Is absolutely necessary.
He takes pride in his gameness
and usually answers criticism with in
difference. He never admits until too
late. after some strong armed fellow
has sent him to the mat with q punch
that he neglected to duck.
On the other hand, the colored man
usually has very difncult task before
he Is given n chance to show his PROV.
tess. and many are the obstacles in bis
path before he gains recognition. His
opportunities for developing himself
ID the manly art are very much more
limited than his white cousins. The
bars are mp in all OF the better grades
OF boxing schools for the cclored man.
This makes his progress In the science
Of the game all the more remarkable.
And SO the reason for the Negro's
success as a boxer is the same reason
that men attain success IN any walk
Df life. The lawyer who would make
his mark must study his profession;
likewise the doctor, the artist and the
musician HI 55S

made manifest in the nation, the state
and the church and all good move
ments. He also made plea for the
sacredness Of the home and said that
the American home today is not what
it was fifty years ago; that home life
in the large apartments and hotels in
cities was being minimiZed. He also
urged upon fathers and mothers to pro-
vide suitable comforts and pleasant
pastimes for their sons and daughters
at home If they wished to save them
from evil companionship.
In closing his address DR.. Credit
expressed high approval Of the under
taking Of the club to build hall and
called upon the men Of Brooklyn and
New York to either acknowledge their
incapacity for leadership or fall in line
with the women Of the Metropolitan
Business club and assist them In rails
ing sufficient means to accomplish the
object which they have in view. Mr.
Wibecan. who is well known poll.
tician and progressive citizen, stated
that he had the uttermost confidence
In fhe women back Of the movement
and that every dollar invested with
them by the public was protected by
first mortgages and that he was willing
to trust them with his money for such
a worthy and timely object. The fact
that over $4,000 has already been sub
scribed toward the fund Is sufficient
evidence to show that real progress is
being made. The race must wake up
to realization OF It's financial strength
and make nse Of what 1t has for Ns
own benefit. 1t is not question of
money alone which prevents the Negro
from owning and controlling. business
enterprises; It Is his inactivity and lack
Of business push and foresight which
keep him dependent upon other races
for that which he could easily provide
for himself, With thousands Of dol
lars on deposit in the banks and trust
companies Of the city. there IS not q
hall or convenient assembly room
owned BY Negroes In Brooklyn. and
the same Is true in nearly every large
city in, the United States. The Grand
Fountain Of the United Order OF True
Reformers as an organization owns
more real estate in comparison than oil
Of the other Negro secret and beneyo-
lent organization n the United States.
Let the race get busy everywhere and
look well to IT. future welfare. The
Metropolitan Women's Business club
Il On the right track and - going to
succeed In a way which should give
hope, Inspiration and courage to the
race fef generations to come.
