WE NEED CONFIDENCE

W II NGGO OONE LII NCE.
Among the reasons given for the
apparent slow growth and uncert in
success OF many business snterpris %
conducted by us, is because we have
such little faith in each other. Faith
In ito highest view, is nothing but
trust in God. Faith which over
cometh the world. Perhaps, tho
word to use, which gives more
accurate definition Of what VIC mean
is confidence, which means firm
trust in self, or self-reliance. Yes,
We need this virtue awfully bad. .
Many of our enterprises would
spread like green bay tree and
afford shelter from many a storm OF
adversity, il We only had confidence
In each other. Take for instance,
the Peoples Bank on Lombard
Street Its president, George Il.
White, man Of wide experience in
public affairs, learned in the law and
u gentleman Of untsrnished char.
acter, comes to our city, not for the
purpose of walking in beaten tracks,
but with the pioneer spirit to lead
upward and onward 10 IN untrodden
path, ae fer as our people arc con-
cerned. lie looks over the field and
finds it fairly we'll studded with doc
tors, lawyers, preachers, dentists,
insurance companies and artisans,
but not single solitary bank. He
knows the people, as a rule, are in
dustrious and are earning money,
ard that others are ENJOYING the
fruits OF their labor. All the banks
receiving tho deposits OF our people,
give employment to hundreds of
white youths. He does not blame
the white people for taking care OF
their own, but he thinks that colored
people ought 70 have sense enough
to do the Same thing, hence be opens

laws of our State governing such
institutions. And yet, hundreds OF
our people hesitate about opening an
account therein because OF their lack
OF confidence. This lack OF conf

A Run Or BAD LUCK.

Gamblers, when driven to desper-.
alton by hoavy losses, have often
sought by some coup, either to repair
their Losses, or take revenge.
One Of the most curious instances.
OF this kind comes from England. A.
notorious gambler had been losing
steadily In game for high stakes
with Lord Lorne. ExasperAted by
his continued i'll fortune, he sudden
ly sprang up from the card table,
seized largo and costly punch bowl,

For once I'll have bet when +

Odd or even for fifteen thousand

"Odd" replied the peer placidly..
and the gambler hurled the bowl;
against the wall.
When they counted the pieces,
Lord Lorne had won.
