1t is a dreadful mistake to allow
ones sewing to get so far ahead that
catching up with it is an impossible
ity. 1t comes from careless habit
OF laying by a small task that is dis
agreeable or a larger one that means
planning as well as working, and one
day the mountain looms ahead and
the beholder sits down in despair.
Some of the work Is done, of course,
but the greater part of 1t stands as a
monument to bad management and is
more or less cause of perpetual
anxiety.
It requires real courage to carry
through resolve to take tasks as
they come and perform them consci-
'entiously, but it is the surest way to
peace of mind and comfort of body.
II is not pleasant to think Of q basket
OF unmended hosiery or to discover
that the pair one needs for special
occasion is among the missing. 1t is
decidedly comfortable to remember
that the missing button or dangling
bit of braid was replaced before o
frock was hung away and that one
need not stop for repairs and be
late TO meet an engagement.
The larger ones possessions the
heavier ones burdens, so each must
decide for herself just what she is
willing to carry. In any event we
do well TO be firm In the matter of
discharging small duties, for there is
no way of repairing negligence save
by the sacrifice of large slice of the
day and good bit of patience and
strength. 1t Is so easy to put by
a duty till a more convenient mo-
ment and so hard to face 1t after
neglect,
One OF my friends is making Wig
orous effort TO break habit OF
shirking, aud hope to live to see the
day when she will have seen the last
of mountain of sewing which has
faced her for years. All this year
she has refrained from adding to It,
and almost every day she has taken
4 bit away by doing something which
has awaited attention FOR a long time.
She has had to deny herself many an
hour of pleasure and has deliberately
cut down her wardrobe to proper
tions which do not require much
care.
She declares that she is done for
ever with the old way of shutting her
eyes TO accumulation-time will tell
how much in earnest she really is.
AT an events she is doing q sensible
thing in trying to escape the clutches
Of habit that has brought her dis
comfort all her life. No well-ordered
life has a background of pressing dn'
ties. and life is too short to squand-
or In unpleasant ways 1t may be a
bore to have to end a morning oil
pleasure by session with needle
and thread, but it allows ease of con-
science and gives satisfaction when
the garment is needed again.

He would write q spell, then stArs
wildly about, and then 60 at It again
as II he knew that q world was wait

After standing near and watching
the great man awhile the tailor at Last
felt that he must interrupt Balzac In
order to get his measure for the trou

him, but spoke but once.

laws preventing the Negro from fol-
lowing various fields Of activity were
steps in recognition OF the principles Of
democracy.
The Acknowledgement laws, Jim
crow measures, restricted school facIl-
tiles for the race, are efforts to undo
the start made for the extension to all
Of what many are pleased to term
"Jefersonian principles"
With the curtailment Of the rights
Of the Negro and a steadily growing
race consciousness as well as knoWl-
edge Of public affairs and the growing
economic independence Of the race
has come the conviction that the sptr-
1t Of democratic principles is no less
for the cOlored man than for the
white.
A number Of white and colored men,
all firm believers in the principles OF
democracy and strong Opposers to
all temporizing with social prejudices
and its manifestation in discriminate
ing laws, have organized the National
Association For the Advancement Of
Colored People, with Offices In the
Evening Post building. 20 Vesey
street, New York.
The need Of such an association can
be best CLEANED from an address which
one Of its leading promoters, Oswald
Garrison Willard, editor Of the New
York Evening Post, delivered at the
II, NJ ha
National Negro Business league. Said
Mr.. Willard:
Ny friends Of the Business league
do not let the historian OF the future
say that In this money making age the
eolored American became so engrosS-
ed in the accumulation Of means and
the establishment Of business as TO
forget those higher things without
which he cannot hope to succeed and
rise to great usefulness, to be really
worthy Of his heritage OF American
citizenship.
do not forget that, while every ef-
fort must be spent in terrifying our
selves in every community by bust
ness and material success, equal effort
must be devoted to that Of far greater
movement. the insistence upon the
NegTo's equal and political rights In
every place and at all times.
Anything short Of absolute equality
before the law is slavery.

ist half slave. half free, any more to
day than it could in the time Of Abra-

THREE YEARS LATE
A Train That Won the Behind Time
Record Medal.

A Train That Won the Behind Time
Record Medal.
A train Of a railway system In the
southwest once arrived at its desttna-
don nearly three years late. The cir
eumstances were these:
The train left Bolivar, just across
Galveston bay from Galveston, On
Sept. 8, 1900, and was caught In the
great storm that 30 nearly destroyed
the Texan city. Bolivar Is seventy
Eve miles from Beaumont, which was
the point Of the trains destination.
Before the train had Travelled Tar on
tn journey II was caught IN the storm.
Thirty miles Of the track were washed
away, and the train was left stranded
On a sandy waste. Many persons who
lived on Bolivar peninsula were saved
from death by taking refuge In the
train. After the storm subsidized they
walked to Bolivar with the passengers,
but the abandoned train was left On
the prairie.
The storm bankrupted the railway,
and no effort to rescue the engine and
cars was made until 1893. Had not
the road suffered so seriously in that
storm the property would have proved
Of great value a few months later,
when oil was struck at Beaumont In
1903, however, the road underwent 10
pains, when the train was drawn into
Beaumont, where 1t was greeted BY q
cheering crowd--New York Press.
