eminent NEGRO AUTHORS.
Reasons Why Negroes Should Read
Their Own Literature.

John f. Bruce Grit of Yonkers, n
Y, whose book entitled Biography of
Eminent Negroes" is nearing compile.
ton, gives eight reasons why Negroes
should read the literature of their own
race and in the last count says the
best history Of race Is written by
the men Of that race. No other race
historian will preserve all the tradi-
tons and facts relating to another
race as truthfully and accurately as
our own historians. Race pride is the
incentive that spurs all historians to
write Of their race and Its achieve
ments, and historians Of other races
seldom tell the whole truth about a
race which Is striving to equal their
own race.

ELLEN BEACH YAW
HERE THURSDAY

On the first part of young sing
ers' life, Ellen Beach Yaw, the fore
most living American coloratura so
prano, who is soon to be heard In
concert here, was asked recently what
she considered the best period OF q
young singers life.
Instantly the prima donna answered
"those years In which she knows no
one but Master Work, and in which
not a soul knows her.
Continuing, Miss Yaw said:
Work, as we all know. is after all
its own reward. There is no road to
success in any line of endeavor ex-
cept by work. and know of no bet
ter sensation than the satisfaction
that comes from restful toll.
Not all the triumphs of after years
give a young aspirant so great a
thrill as the masters first hearty.

"She may receive the plaudits of
the worlds most discriminating au-
diences; she may receive a shower
of critical bouquets, she may get en-
gagements whose pecuniary advant-
ages are overwhelming. but. after all,
were not these things expected, II
she has done her work properly?
"The first studio accomplishment
the first day that she has done, al
most perfectly, a simple song, will
linger longer in memory than the
favor of royalty. Why? Because 1t
is from within. and the still small
voice from within always moves us
more profoundly than any tempest
which may rage without.
81 know, because ! have expert
enced both, and my sweetest mem
ory is the first time in which I really
pleased myself"
