A LONG FELT WANT NOW SUP.
Piled.

Volumes have been written, orators
have exhausted their store of language
and newspapers have written long ed1-
torials, endeavoring to point out way
that would lead to real success for the
Negro of this country. 1t has been said
that the Negro has no pride in himself,
and that race without pride can
never make real success. This is true
and yet the foundation of pride must
always be a knowledge of ones his
tory. When the Negro knows himself,
he will be proud of himself, ana having
had his pride once aroused, success is
fully assured. We find no hesitancy in
saying that nothing has been done
since emancipation that has aroused
the Negroes of this country to a sense
of their own Importance, or injected
stronger hope into the hearts of his
friends, as the great Negro exhibit at
the jamestown Exposition, that was
conceived in the mind of Col Giles B.
Jackson, and carried to a most remark
able and successful termination. Sen
ators, governors, diplomats, representa-
tives and the president himself, were
loud in their praise Col. Jackson, not
content with this achievement, believ-
ing as he does that thousands upon
thousands of our people were unable
by reason of the shortness of time and
the stringency of the money market, to
see this great exhibition, he has de-
cided to put this in permanent form
He has called to his aid the well known
d. Webster Davis of literary fame, and
together they have written 1.-THE In
dustrial History of the Negro Race of
the United States" as cleaned from the
great Negro exhibit at the Jamestown
Exposition. This book is destined to
be of incalcuable benefit to the race,
placing, as it were, the Negro exhibit
into every home by means of numerous
cuts and illustrations. The reading
matter is not only fascinating and en-
PERTAINING, but instructive and reliable.
The price is merely nominal ($1.00,
$3.50 and $500, and it seems to us as
a matter of race prize that the news
papers of this country should do all in
their power to encourage the placing
The forum. [volume] (Springfield, Ill.) 1904-192?, 1909-05-22

of this book in every Negro home and
into the hands of every school boy and
girl. 1t is confidentially expected by
the editors that this book will be
adopted in the schools of the various
States as a text book, and certainly
nothing fairer or better could be done
to uplift the people.
We commend this book most heartily
to the reading public and urge that
they purchase it in large numbers, for
only by this means can the publishers
find result for their painstaking and
ar 1uous labors of love for the good of
the race. 1t is a complete history of
the race from its origin to the present
time and deals with every possible
phase of the Negro question from every
point of view. 1t shows his remarkable
progress along social, economic and in
dustrial lines, his accumulation of
property, his business enterprises, his
schools and colleges, all backed up by
statistics obtained from the most relia-
BILE sources. 1t is absolutely astounding
to see what has already been accom-
plished, and the dullest and most pess-
imistic soul must receive inspiration
from reading this splendid volume.
The editors are calling for 10000 agents
to sell this book. Liberal arrangements
will be made by writing to Giles e.
Jackson or r. T. Hill, 602 N. Second
street, Richmond, Va.

STORY OF RECAPTURE OF a
NORRIS & ROWE GIRAFFE

North America has many national
marks but it is probable that the
only one of these that mas ever had
the distinction Of possessing a real,
live. giraffe is the Big Redwood Ma
tional park. located in the California
Santa Cruz mountains. It is true that
the park is now dlspossessed Of its
long-necked acquisition. but the fact
remains that "Nosey." the pride Of
the Greater Norris & Rowe mena-
gerie. roamed its primeval depths for
a period Of six days and as many
nights.
Ordinarily any animal with a col
lar rack the length Of that possessed
by a giraffe will upon gaining free
dom. take to the open. But when
"Nosey" gave his keepers the slip
at the Norris & Rowe circus head
quarters last winter and made for the
hills. he found himself in a forest Of
unusual proportions. He threaded
his way through the big redwoods as
easily as a Shetland would pass
through an ordinary wood. And
once in the shelterng depths,
"Nosey" stayed there. In vaid did
his keepers pursue him. He would
allow them to approach just so near
and then away he would gallop. It
was useless to attempt to use the

refused to be coaxed into clearing.
The keepers dispaired. The fore
man swore "Nosey" gave them the
horse, that Is 30 say, the giraffe
laugh, and amble on. He was hav-
ing his one holiday of a long captiv-
ity Only one thing Disconnected
him. 1t is well known mat giraffes
are particularly fond OF the tender
green shoots that are to be found
at the very tops Of trees. ''Nosey"
couldn't reach the slly-end OF those
California redwoods by five giraffe
necks and long tent stake. But all
good things have tne reputation of
coming to an end. and a CRATES
holiday is no exception. On the sew
enth night of "Nosey's" vacation the
keepers succeeded in corraling him
by connecting ropes from tree to tire,
thus forming an immense circular
enclosure. When morning came thew
climbed inside, captured the runaway
and conducted him, without further
mishap, TO headquarters. "Nosev,

ence and is one OF the finest animals

UNCLE SAM TO SEND
FIRST NORTH BANK TRAIN

Portland. April 27.-Uncle Sam will
have the honor of sending the first
through train over the completed
North Bank road from Spokane to
Portland. This will be a troop train
Of IL coaches having on board the
Seventh regiment of infantry from
Fort Brady. The troops are destined
for San Francisco when they will en-
bark for the Philippines for garrison
duty. This train will leave Spokane
next Sunday morning and will have
the daylight trip down the Columbia
river. reaching Portland Sunday
night.
Incidentally, 1t might be mentioned
that this is rather a "wallop" at Sc
attic, which has always maintained
that it had better transport service to
the Orient than San Francisco has.
And, furthermore, Portland will have
the pleasure of entertaining the en-
tire regiment instead Of putting the
troopers up against the Seattle spirit.

Of through service between Portland
and Spokane. The regular passen-
ger schedule over the line will be put
into effect Sunday, the troop train
running as a special.

Last night was "Newsboys" night

''The home OF Carrie Nation" and
for three solid hours they were lifted
from the sordid earth, breathing the
rarer air to be found only on the
heights Of joyland.
