4 DO you desire me, ladies, to teach
you my secret for making impromptu
verses? It is to rub your forehead
well, not with the hand as Horace did
of old, but by giving your head some
good sound blows against the wall.
Then proceed to knock your head three
or four times against a door and put
your hand to your forehead as II to
sdeaden the pain produced by the VIC
slence Of the blows. But you must do
something more than merely touch the
door with your head. AT the same mo-
ment that you make the movements as
1T knocking yourself, YOU ward of the
blow by the aid Of the left hand held
to the door about the spot which you
appear to strike, while the closed right
hand, concealed from the audience,

Broyles did this In releasing the large

certain elements OF the colored people.
Many who 90 there are Woodworking
people. They are there for little
recreation. To snatch up indiscrimi-
nately such persons would be to injure
the very movement we all desire to
see succeed. The colored people, like
other epople. must have time and
places for recreation. There should
be better facilities in our city for their
recreation, SO that their leisure hours
would be benefit to them rather
than a detriment. But when the pool
rooms and dives are raided where can

ITO meet this situation our church

colored Young Mems Christian Associ-
alton is doing something with it's mea-
ger facilities. But this Is but drop
. In the bucket. The $4,000 colored peo.

that suggested by Mr.. Cary Of the
park board would reach and help
many more. In such a settlement
there would be music. games. baths,
etc. Such place would be an In
vestment that would do much to solve
the vagrancy problem now facing us.
and would not only supply workers.
but better ones. more prompt. reliable
and efficient"
Bishop II. M. Turner OF the African
Methodist Episcopal church thinks
that the labor problem will be solved
when all are ut work. Though 1
think that there Is such thing as
going to far, still the idle population,
both black and white. should be made
to either work or stop loating on
street corners" said the bishop.
1T is not problem which will be
solved In q day, neither is It SO seri-
GUS as most people imagine. The
average man is willing to work at
something, but when idle Influences
are thrown round him, 1t Is but nat
ural that he should be human to sue
cumb. The question Is more that Of
education than OF force. Educate the
children, and when they grow into
men and women they will be useful
factors in a community instead OF .
burden upon the commonwealth.
I'VE have many institutions doing
all in their power to educate the older
as well as the younger members OF
our race, but there la still room for
many more, When the race 10 edu-
Gated 1t will then become useful.
