There is a deal of wretchedness from

the gutter. There is a deal of Indebtedness from
this cause.

things, that am sure we should be happy as
kings" the poe. sang, and very truly. For one

things to do that are worth while doing.
Evasion of responsibility Is rank cowardice,
and makes for empty life.
If time weighs heavily upon you, get busy!
Adopt baby. Go conservatively into debt. In
terest yourself in the struggle of some fellow

take the killing labor of washing clothes from
the shoulders of American housewives. Discover
a new star. Find cure for cancer. Scheme

from municipal ownership of public utilities. Dis
cover substance which will prevent teeth from
decaying. Write something which will make men
think less of selfish gain and more brotherly love-
These are suggestions-and ''the WORLD is full of

AS THE kONGO YOUTH
STEPPED FROM BEHIND THE
CURTAIN THERE WAS A RIP
PIE OF LAUGHTER.
pear In New York.
1t was a trying moment for Sid
ney Carter. If Ikoko failed the
disappointment would be hard to
endure. He had spent much
money on the venture. Iso's num-
Der was the NEXT ON the program.
The audience was eager. They
expected something. They did
not even know how the tenor
would look. AS the Kongo youth
stepped from behind the curtain
there was a ripple of laughter.
Ikoko smiled, and his ivory teeth
were as white as the collar he
wore. 1t was all like a joke.
There was the slanting forehead,
the thick lips, and flat nostrils.
Could this specimen be q musical
prodigy?
Ikoko didn't notice the audi.
enceence. This was the great oc-
casion for which he had LONG
trained. He tried to forget the
sea of faces. He imagined that
he was again among his people
by the Kongo. He would think
OF them and the friend who had
done so much for him. He wait
ed q moment. The great thea
ter was as silent as though 1t con-
tanned not q living solu- Then
the hush was broken. The audi
ence suddenly beheld a black
athlete transformed into an art
list of beauty and power. THE
effect of the singing defied analy-
sis. It acted upon the souls OF
the audience. The music had o
simple. yet sweet and agreeable
quality unheard of. II was nat
ural and ssthetically beautiful.
