JUST A MATTER OF INQUIRY.
Why Should People Entertain or Be Entertained When It Gives
 Them No Pleasure?

Tn periodical the other day." says the amateur philosopher of the Provi- dence Tribune. T ran across a picture of what had evidently been a musical entertainment or musicale-I took 1t to have been 8 musicale for choice.
 The fiddlers had gone and so had the soloist or soloists and guests. There remained in the foreground the deserted room and a waste of empty chairs, along with the open grand piano.
 The hosts head was resting on his arms on table; the hostess had re- moved her shoes and was on the verge of collapse. In the background a but Ter was looking on commiseratingly.
 Now. there's good deal of that sort of thing first and last the country over It was true to life, but I never could understand it That is, nobody has ever explained to me why people who don't enjoy entertaining or being entertained persist in making martyrs of themselves; why anybody does something for pleasure that invari- ably gives pain?
 "A person who puts himself out and wears himself out in the line of duty Is comprehensible. but why you should sacrifice yourself when you're pretending to be looking for fun is beyond me
 The woman who said that her idea of a perfect life from the social point of view would be to be asked every where and to go nowhere doubt less expressed the sentiment of thou. sands, but why go anywhere if you feel that way?"

NEW coRLEANsa lN9191o.

Columbus, O.-FrOm Gthe very first
day the National Convention opened
it was evident, after a careful canvas
that there we're but two logical cities
in the race for the 1910 session of
the convention. These cities were
New Orleans, Louisiana and Musko-
gee, Oklahoma. But it was an easy
matter to see that New Orleans, by
virture of it's seniority in the race,
having been inviting the convention
for five years, was the choice, not
withstanding Houston, Texas made a
strong pull and came with bushel
CT buttons. The Texas delegations
pinned possibly five or six hundred of
these buttons on the delegations; but
when the vote was taken New Or
leans by an overwhelming majority
carried off the honor. The cause of
New Orleans was advocated by Rev.
VIM. Taylor, Of Baton Rouge, who in
an eloquent, powerful address gave
the advantages of the Crescent City
and stated the absolute need of the
Baptists coming to the Eescue Of the
seventy-eight or eighty > churches of
their faith located there Rev A.
Barbour, of Galveston, Texas, spoke
in behalf of Houston, while Rev. W..
H, Jernagan, of Muscogee, pleaded ell
oquently for the youngest state in the
Union with no avail. Philadelphia,
however, is asking for the convention
in 1911 or 1912.

EARNING AN EDUCATION.

1t is encouraging to note that the
State Agricultural and Mechanical
College at Normal, Ala, under its
new head, President Walter S. Bu-
chanan, Is offering young men and
women of character and pluck an OPP
portunity to work their way through
school. A splendid night school is
conducted for the benefit Of students
who must pay their expenses by
working in the shops all day. A linn.
tied number of day pupils are allowed
to work out from one to three dol
lars per month. Additional courses
and the new schedule, giving more
time to shop work, make it possible
for more students to gain proficiency
in the trades

wish to learn trades while they pur-
sue their regular literary courses.

NEGRO BANK FOR THE FALLS
CITY.

Louisville, KY, Sept. Is, 1909
Especially In spite of the persistent
denial made from different quarters,
it is a fact brought out by strong
chain of evidence which has been
gathered that the Negroes Of this city
are soon to have bank of their own.
The news will be hailed with delight
and much joy by the Negroes in the
various parts of the Blue Grass State
who look upon Louisville as the log
ical beginner of the holding OF new
sentiment tending toward the deVel-
opment of the race and the one that
should take the initiative in any step
in the great state of Kentucky
While Louisville is not the capital,
it is the metropolis and is so cosmo-
politan in every respect that seldom
is it looked upon as other than a
great northern or eastern center
The establishment of Negro bank IS
causing no little discussion, as the
plans are in an embryonic state. The
astonishing fact that was brought out
is that the entire scheme is said 10
be engineered by woman of the
race, one of national reputation, and
who stands high in the business cir
cles of Kentucky's metropolis, and
who commands much attention in fra
ternal. It is said that this woman
can command the cash of state and
national organizations in this finan-
cial undertaking.
