The Educated Negro

The Charlottesville Messenger,
published by Negroes, says:
1T is sad. but true. the educated
Negro, with all his advantages and
opportunities over his less fortunate
brother, in many respects is the
worst enemy we have to contend
with. He feels his Importance and
upon that groundless assumption.
unless he can wrap himself up in
honor, and popularity at the expense
of other mems work, he absents
himself from all movements to help
the people with the pretext the peo-
pie are too ignorant for them TO
waste their time with. This kind
of education is dangerous, and is
calculated to kill rather than make
alive"

Colonel Roosevelt a few days ago
gave out at the Outlook office, in
New York, the following statement
in reference to the visit at Sycamore
Hill Of Representative Poindexter.
of Washington.
Colonel Roosevelt will see very
many Senators and Congressman,
Assemblymen and other public Of
6cials representing all phases Of
public opinion. He declines to be
responsible for any statements ex-
cepting those which he himself
makes. He has said nothing, and
intends to say nothing as to any
contests for a nomination. If he
has anything to say on such a sub
iect it will be over his own sigma
ture. All that MIR. Roosevelt said
in this case was that he was pleased
to find that, as he had expected from
Mr.. Poindexter's past record, Mr..
Poindexter was in hearty sympathy
with Mr. Roosevelt's views as to
conservation and similar subjects.
Mr.. Roosevelt expressed no opinion
about the senatorial contest, and
Mr.. Roosevelt believes Mr.. Poin-
dexter is not responsible for the
statement which has appeared. Ger
tainly in so far as these statements
have quoted Mr.. Roosevelt, except
as above indicated, they had no
foundation whatever in fact"
Colonel Roosevelt's statement was
called forth by the fact that he took
exception TO special dispatches from
OYSTER Bay in which he was quoted
directly that he would support Mr..
Poindexter in his contest for seat
in the United States Senate. Col
onel Roosevelt stipulated that he
must not be directly quoted as say
ing that he had decided to support
Mr.. Poindexter, and feels that he
was misrepresented in the special
dispatches which quoted him as
having said in SO many words that
be had promised his aid to the Con-
gresham. The colonel did not de-
nv, either in his statement or other.
wise, that he would give his sup.
port.

With Apologies to Longfellow

The following parody is going the
roundsof the press:
Tell me not in mournful numbers
That the town is full of gloom,
For the man'sa crank that slumbers
In these glorious days OF boom.
Life is real, life is earnest,
And the grave is not it's goal
Every dollar that thou turnest
Helps to make the old town roll.
But enjoyment and not sorrow
Is our destined end or way;
II you have no money, borrow
Buy corner lot today.
Lives of great men all remind us
We can win immortal fame.
Let us leave the chumps behind us
And we'll get there all the same.
In this worlds broad field OF battle
In the bivouac of life
Let US make the dry bones rattle
Invest something for your wife!
Let US then be up and doing
With heart for any fate,
Still achieving, still pursuing
Booming early, booming late.

The Last Big Prize Fight

With the outcome of the close of
the great fistic contest at Reno il is
believed the curtain has gone down
upon the last of such gla iiatorial ex-
hibits in this country. The great
heavyweight battles in the arena,
with the nation and the world as
audience, have come to an end. Civ
ilizatiOn may be written in the de-
cline of brutal games and contests
Rome had her amphitheater and was
at last content with nothing less
than Wholesale slaughter of human
beings by the ravages Of famished
beasts. Spain still has bullfghts,
but the range Of the sport has been
greatly narrowed and must die.
The American prize ring as a place
for the maintenance of such exhibits
at Reno has had its day.
The contest was battle between
two brutes. Jeffries the bruiser,
the glutton for punishment, the be-
hemoth on whose hulk inferior ami
mails had hitherto hammered them
selves helpless, finally met a more
masterly brute than himself. No
longer was he adamant. Behind
these blows was a strength strange
to his experience in the ring and a
science he could rot solve.
The world no longer glories in
such brutal contests. 1t has had
enough. 1t believes the strength
Of men should be put to better pur-
poses. and in this revulsion over
Reno Is to be read the doom of prize
fighting Baltimore American.

PRETTY QUESTION TO DECIDE
Yet by the Terms of the Bet 1t Would
Seem the Sporting Editor
Was Right.

Recently one young man bet an
other that he could not break an egg
placed on the floor of their room by
hitting it with barrel. The second
young man promptly took the bet.
Thereupon the first young man
carefully placed an egg in a corner
Of the room, just where the walls
made a right angle, so that it was
impossible for the other to hit the
egg with an ordinary barrel.
Then the first young man proceed
ed to gloat.
But the ether suddenly produced
a revolver and broke the egg by tap
ping it smartly with the barrel Of
the weapon. Then he demanded the
money. ;,
There was quite dispute natural
ly. Finally the two agreed to submit
the question to the editor of sport
ing paper. In due time the answer
came. The sporting authority de-
cided that the second young man
was the winner of the bet, since the
other had not specified in any way
what kind of barrel should be used
for the destruction of the egg.
THERE'S A DIFFERENCE.

GYMNASTIc MAINE HEN.

Zenas Dudley of Hampden has a
hen that will lay every day provid-
ing she can lay where she wants to,
and that is sitting on top of pole.
The only reason why this hen wishes
to perch on the tip end of a pole
when laying can be accounted for
only by the fact that she laid her
first egg on top of a pole. When she
was a small pullet she was frightened
one day and flew to the top of a tall
pole in the yard. The dog kept her
there for some time, and during the
time she laid her first egg. Never a
time since then has she laid an egg
except when she has been on the top
of some pole. A pole has been set
up in the hen yard where this hen
can make her daily layings. A small
net bag is placed around the pole to
catch the eggs.-Kennebec Journal.

Cement Show

Concrete is now used in the con-
struction of bee-hives, Lighthouses,
pipe organs, boats, silos, barn
floors, baby cradles, burial vaults,
in the Panama Canal, and in max
ing collar buttons, to say nothing
of street pavements, skyscrapers
and hen coops.
With such an extradinary scope,
the Third Annual Cement Show
Chicago, February 1886, should
have something of interest to every
Individual beneath the sun. There
will be over three hundred exhibits
of cement products of various des-
criptions. At the Show last year,
there were over seventy-five thou
sand people in attendance, coming
from all parts of the United States.

LESS BEEF, MORE BACON.

The London Meat Trades Journal
figures that the United Kingdom inn
ports of American and Canadian cat
tie show an Is per cent. decrease for
the first five months Of this year,
compared with last year, and 291a
per cent. with 1906. The American
shipments of refrigerated beef fell
off 404, 479 hundredweight (of 112
pounds each), compared with the
1907 period, while the total increase
of 30,SS9 was due to the heavy con-
signments from Argentina. A sub
stanrial increase of 337, 1888 hundred
weight in the weight of bacon is due
to the heavier shipments from the
United States, the supplies from
Canada and other countries being
less.

SUPERSTITION IS VERY OLD
For Many Centuries the Horseshoe
Has Been Regarded as an En-
blem of Luck.

Many superstitions have been
traced, with some lefiniteness, to
their origin, but that about the
horseshoe has not. 1t has been
traced back to about 1850, but there
Che antiquarians had to give it up.
At that time, most of the houses in
the west end of London had a horse
shoe nailed over the door as protec-
ton against witches and evil spirits.
It was believed that witch could
rot enter a house so protected. Many
houses in this country have horse.
shoe attached to them in some way,
and sailors, who are nearly all SUI
perstitious, nail the shoes up in their
ships for ''luck." Out of this old
superstition grew the notion that it
is ''lucky" to find an old horseshoe,
and it is said that the more nails
there are in the shoe when you pick
it up, the more luck you will have.
