The Negro in Modern Fiction
CIV. e. Griffin.)

1t would be regrettable indeed if
the civilized world were to base its
opinion of the Negro race on the por-
traryal Of Negro character as depict
ed in popular novels and current liter
airy fiction. The introduction of a
Negro character seems to demand a
traditional treatment and all the
writer's seems to possess the same
formula. A Negro character is sell
dom permitted to speak word of
good English. He is generally in
vested with an outlandish jargon,
vainly initiative of Uncle Remus, such
as no Negro ever did use He is usu-
ally introduced as a servant. His
function is to perform menial labor,
and he is. made to delight in servi-
tude. The Negro, in modern fiction is
usually depicted as the embodiment
Of ignorance; and his superstitious
antics are vasly amusing to the lordly
and more intelligent white man
Sometimes he is represented as pos
sessing what has been called bump
tiousness to get out of his
place-but each time the superior
glance of some white man terrorizes
him into instant remembrance.
Perhaps, the most typical illustration
of this is found in 'the After House"
by Mary Roberts Rinehart. In that
story the Negro Williams is described
as going about gray with fear"-ig-
norant, superstititous, seryile, terri
fled.
Sometimes writer seems even to
go out of his way to speak of the
Negro in terms of contempt. Thus
Louis Joseph Vance in the Lone
Wolf" story appearing in the
March Munsey's introduces "a vicious
buck-nigger on dais shining with
self complacency while he vamped
and shouted, "Waitin' for the Robuht
E. Lee" There are a few exceptions to
the general rule. Thus, in the story,
Flood and Feud," which appeared re-
Gently in number of Golfers week
ly, Negro was made to play part
almost heroic; while the portrayal of
the little Negro Herman in the Booth
Harrington series in Cosmopolitan is
natural, human and altogether de-
! lightful.

Within year Missouri will have an
other state institution, the State In
dustrial Home for Incorigible Negro
Girls, near Upton, Moniteau county.
The new board of managers recently
appointed by Governor Major, met in
Jefferson City yesterday.
Under the act of the last General
Assembly appropriating $4,000 for the
buildings of the institution the man.
ayers are constituted a building com
mission. Its members are DR.. j. B.
Norman of Upton, Mrs, w. J. Fulks
of California, Robert S. Lamar of Cal
laway county, Miss jeanette McCo,
nachie of Troy and VIM. H. Tegethoff
of Clayton, st. Louis county. The
board organized by electing Mr.. La.
mar as chairman, Miss McConachie,
secretary and Percy Henry of Upton,
treasurer.
Plans drawn by Architect NJ. Fred
Bell, of Fulton, approved by the old
board were confirmed, the only
change being that instead of slow
combustible the structures are to be
fireproof.
The plans call for a central build.
ing 1876 feet by Sc feet deep. This
will provide for administration de
uartment dormitories, living rooms
for the officers and a chapel.
The plans call for two wings two
stories in height, with a two-story
building in the rear for kitchen, din
ing room and schoolrooms. Back OF
these will be a power plant.
The buildings as plsnned will ac
comomdate 140 girls and in an emer.
gency will accommodate 100.
According to the estimates, the cost
of buildings ready for occupancy will
total $4,000.
The contract will be let and work
begun as soon as possible. 1t is the
intention of the board to have the in
stitution ready by the time the Leg
islature next winter makes an appro
priation for its maintenance.

HEAR THE OTHER SIDE.

One from the east, one fro mthe west,
A broken shield espied;
At once began,
The story ran
A wordy fratricide.
From words to blows they each en-
gagged,
Each his best strength applied;
They fought to kill; they fought un-
til
They fell-fell side by side;
About a shield, broken shield,
Which lay the road beside.
They fought to kill, the story runs,
They fought and bled and died;
About shield on a CORY field
Which each saw from his side:
Quoth one, "'Tis gold!"
Quoth the other as bold,
"'Tis silver! or | have lied"
And as they lay, and gasped for
breath,
With curses each defied,
A traveller bound, turned the shield
around,
And 10! they saw both sides;
And one was gold,
While the other, we're told,
Was silver-thus they died.
But had they looked before they
sought
Each other IN deride
The truth, no doubt they'd found it
out,
And spared this homicide.
And I'd make vow
They'd be living now,
Had they looked for the other side.
And so lesson we may learn,
The morals self-applied;
It's always best to make test
Before we should decide.
'Tis always well
Before we tell
To hear the other side.
When envious tongues friend as
sails
WIN Sla0ueE 10 ueIlue,
by devil sent, on mischief bent,
Ones friendship to divide,
Refuse to hear,
Turn a deaf ear,
And call the other side.
Good neighbor South has lost his
place,
'Tis WI ..4pered" far and ride;
He would take things-a diamond
ring
On him was identified;
Before you tell,
Just why he fell
Go, go andshear his side.
When Jones exultingiy relates
How all the girls have tried
To capture him, set traps for him,
To be his bonny bride:
Go ask the girls,
The dear sweet girls
To give the other side.
When sweet sixteen as vainly boasts
That all the boys have We'd
For just chance with her to dance
Or sit down by her side
To talk and dream,
Or order cream,
Wait! hear the other side.
And when the other side you've heard
And your best sense applied,
Don't credit half the libelous chaff
But let your gossip slide
Leave room for doubt,
Blot it all out.
Forget you heard either side.
