The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1911-10-13

Seven letters at once, at the same
time writing his memoirs"
Truly" continued the Captain, not
needing or hearing the other,
Truly a wonderful man was Caius
julius Caesar!
Better be first, he said. in q little
Iberian village,
Than be second in Rome; and l think
he was right when he said it
Twice was he married before he was
twenty, and many times after;
Battles five hundred he fought, and .
thousand cites he conquered;
He, too, fought in Flanders, as he him
self has recorded; =
Finally he was stabbed by his friend.
the orator Brutus!
Now, do you know what he did on a
certain occasion in Flanders,
When the rear-guard of his army re-
treated, the front giving way, too,
And the immortal Twelfth Legion was
crowded so closely together
There was no room for their swords
Why, he seized a shield from a
soldier,
Put himself straight at the head OF
his troops, and commanded the
captains,
Calling each by his name, to order
forward the ensigns;
Then to widen the ranks, and give
more room for their weapons;
So he won the day, the battle of some
thing-or-other
That's what l always say: If you wish
a thing to we'll done,
You must do 1t yourself, you must not
leave 1t to others!"
All was silent again; the Captain
continued his reading.
Nothing was heard in the room but
the hurrying pen of the stripping.
Writing epistles important to go next
day by the Mayhower,
Filled with the name and the fame of
OF the Puritan maiden Priscilla:
Every sentence began or closed With
the name Of Priscilla,
n1l the treacherous pen. to which he
COun0eO the secret,
Strove to betray It BY singing and
shouting the name Of Priscilla!
Finally closing his book. with Z bans
Of the ponderous cover,
Sudden and loud a the sound OF Z col
der grounding his musket,
Thus to the young man spake Miles
StandisA. the Captain q Ply
mouth:
When you have finished your work
I have something important Il
tell you.
5e not. however. In haste: can wait;
| shall not b impatient!"
SuaiEhtway Alden replied, q h.
folded the last Of his letters,
'ushing his papers aside, and xivinl
respectful attention:
1peak: for whenever you spsak.

THE CHAMPIONS OF OUR RACE
By James Conway Jackson.

By James Conway Jackson.
Oh, they tell of grim, old giants who
fought in the days of old;
Of the knights who wore the gaunt-
lets, of the many warriors bold;
And they rave about the brave men
who looked danger in the face,
But we seldom hear a good word for
the champions of Our race.
oh, they sing about the martyrs, and
the heroes of the day;
The historians and the poets join in
one great tuneful lay;
Everybody and his brother seem to
have his proper place,
But there's few that give due honor
to the champions of our race.
Who's the champions? you would ask
me, since | seem to fume and
fret
They're the boys who fought our bat
ties, they're the boys who toll
and sweat:
Boys like Mitchell, Fortune, Trotter,
and that grand old fighter, Chase,
They're the boys whose praise I'm
singing; they're the champions
of our race!
Preachers, educators, doctors, lawyers,
we contrive to give share,
But the men who fight our battles we
think they can live on air.
Oh, we pay for white folks papers
with free and easy grace,
But we're mighty slow TO cash in to
the champions of our race.
'Tis no easy thing to stand up in this
Negro-hating age
And strike out right from the shoUl-
der when our foes are blind
with rage;
When our friends are either silent, or
speak just to save their face,
'Tis no easy road to travel as the
champions OF our race.
Championsl Champions! That's a
good name, and they'll deserve
it, too,
For they're true as steel, and faith
ful-all except a very few
So, then, let US as a people stand up
bravely in our place,
And be faithful, true and loyal to the
champions of our race.

meeting of the colored mems branch
of the Y NJ. c. A. at the Howard The
ater Sunday. The remarks of the
speaker were received with hearty ap-
plause throughout. Charles Moody, a
missionary from Africa, gave an inter
esting and graphic description of the
efforts of Stanley and Livingstone to
Christianize the barbaric tribes OF
Central Africa. The speaker stated
that many had laid down their lives
tor the cause of Christianity in this
wild region, but such a condition was
no barrier to others. In the partic-
ular belt of which Mr. Moody spoke,
the missionaries succeeded in educat-
ing over 5000 of the inhabitants.
Many crude tlatChed-rOof churches
were converted into habitable build
Ings from bricks which the natives
mad been taught to make.
On next Sunday at 3 o'clock the
Hon. William Jennings Bryan, former
candidate for the Presidency of the
United States, will address the men,
as will also DR.. c. A. Barbour, an elo-
quent divine Of Rochester, n. Y. Mr..
Bryan is a devout Y. NJ. c. A. man.

Pittsburg, Cleveland, Chicago, then to
St. Louis, finally reaching their desti-
nation, Little Rock.
Delegates from cities nearby could
board the special at these principal
places.
The Cleveland Journal makes the
above practical suggestion, which is at
least worthy of consideration.
The Negro Business League of Bir-
mingham, Ala, has rare opportunity
to render valuable and substantial
service to the members of the race in
that community by urging the prac-
tice of frugality, in Strengthening the
businesses already established, and in
encouraging the starting of new one
where there is a prospect OF support
and success.
This opportunity is present by rea-
son of the fact that over $1,000, 900
every month is paid to Negro wage
earnerS IN the mines, the mills and the
factories III that district.
The greater portion of this vast sum
of money is spent with the various
merchants of the city.
1t follows then that if a fair por-
ton of these peoples trade does not
go to the Negro merchant, the white
man cannot be justly held responsible
for it.

A PECULIAR INCIDENT.

Some time ago an old maid from
this city visited Atlantic City, and
stopped at one of the most fashion
able cOlored resorts. Another lady,
an acquaintance of the old maid, and
a young woman from one of the best
known families, was also in Atlantic
City on a visit. The old maid pre-
sumed to herself that she was the So
cial superior of the young lady, and
attempted to ignore her and TO cause
other guests in the house to do like
wise. The young lady who was being
snubbed is socially the superior of the

NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS
AS Reported By the National Negro
Business League.

A new business lately opened I'D in
Montgomery, Ala, on II2 North Per
ry street, is The Productive Enter
prise Company, with Arthur A. Mad
ison its manager. The purpose of this
firm is to handle a high grade line of
goods, such as shoes, drygoods and
notions, fresh from the factory. The
stock is valued at $1,000.
Firman c. Brown, Charleston, w.
Va, has recently received notice of
allowance Of patent on his food-warm-
er, and will now introduce an emerg-
ency service. Cooked meals can be
sent out any distance from one block
to two miles, hot and in a sanitary
condition at destination. The warm
er will take up the space of an ordi-
nary grip, and can be easily carried in
a street car without inconvenience to
passengers.
Mr.. Brown, the inventor, has given
twenty years as head-waiter in the
leading hotels North and South, and
has observed the need of such a serv-
ice as above named.
Tentative efforts will probably be
made to arrange for National Negro
Business League special train for the
eleventh annual meeting in Little
Rock, Ark, August 1913.
The plan is to have the business
men from the cities in the East gather
at Baltimore, starting out in special
Pullmans from that point, from
whence they could proceed west to

1t may not be generally known, but
nevertheless it is a fact that a colored
man presides at the throttle of a To-
comotive that pulls one of the fastest
trains on the Pennsylvania Lines west
of Pittsburg. His name is William G.
Burnes, of indianapolis, Ind. He runs
between that city and Columbus, Ohio
Mr.. Burnes has been in the employ of
the company for over thirty-hve years.
He began as a section hand, and was
advanced from one grade of service
to another as he increased in skill and
efficiency, until he was promoted to a
passenger engineer, about twenty
years ago.
It is said that some Of the most sue
cessful white engineers of today owe
their training to the careful teaching
of this man. Moreover he has the rep
utation of being quite a student, and
is well informed on subjects of gen.
eral interest.
Mr.. Burnes is citizen of Indianap-
oils, and he owns considerable prop
erty as well as being interested in
some good investments.
The abstract of the North Carolina
Mutual and Provident Association is
out, and the last report of the greatest
Negro insurance company in the
world indicates that steady growth
has always marked its course
The association is now twelve years
old. Beginning in 1900 with $780, for
years business, it has gained so
steadily every year, without exception,
that 1t has for the 1910 report $245,238
volume of business.
Besides the exceptional showing in
collections, it has $6o,3I8 in real es-
tate, cash in banks and office,
$2I,I54.I4, and a balance of $o5,535.33
in the treasury.
During its twelve years, the COM
pany has paid over half million dol
lars in benefits, and has written over
100000 members Furthermore, it has
a $4,000 cash bond in the hands of
the South Carolina Insurance Com
missioner as a guarantee for its policy
holders in that State.
