Josephus Daniels, the secretary OF
the navy, to forget the dignity of his
high office, which he was doing his
best to protect and maintain at all
costs, especially at so solemn an oc-
casion.
The little future 'debutante entered
into conversation with the secretary.
Believing it would be nice to enter
tain him with topic in his own line
of work, she said, with a great air
of gravity:
well, Mr.. Secretary, see you are
determined to make your department
a success and have ordered a couple
of doughnuts."
"Doughnuts? repeated the score
tary, wrinkling his brow. "Oh. yes.
Oh, yes-doughnuts."
Then he was heard to smile many

to tell her how easily "dreadnaughts

AFRO-AMERICAN CUL[|NCS

The education OF the negro In the
essentials, the three Rs" and the rest
of good common school course, to.
gether with his education to a trade,
has shown excellent results. The negro
makes a good farmer. a good artisan
good man in most trades, after he
has had proper training. Leaders of
the race are proceeding upon the
theory that the best way to break down
the barriers of prejudice is to make
the negro self-supporting. industri.
GUS, thrifty, useful citizen. This theory
appears to have INDICATED itself. Tus,
kegee institute has probably done
more to break down prejudice against
the negro in the south than any other
single agency.
The negro, for his own sake and
happiness, should realize that the pro-
fessions do not afford him the same
opportunities as they offer to white
men. The fact is that anything greatly
different could hardly be expected.
The negro has only had half century
Of civilization in America, as against
many ages for the white man. Under
the circumstances he has done re-
markedly we'll but he should remem-
Der that the old adage. "the more haste
the less speed" holds good in race de-
velopment as in most other things.
The negro cannot reach the goal Of
the, highest civilization and the great
est mental development as race by
any short cuts. He will progress more
rapidly, more solidly and more salts
factorily If he prepares himself by
going through the same experiences
which have been necessary to every
other race.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

CLAIMS ON NATIONAL FORESTS.
According to the annual report OF
the chief OF forestry, department OF
agriculture. nearly 1000 homesteads
were taken up under special act OF
congress which provides for opening
to settlement lands suitable for agri-
culture. However, some old home
stead claims were instituted for the
purpose of securing timber and the
same is true. Of some mining claims.
As attempted frauds under the min
ing laws are usually resorted to by
interests in no way associated with
mining, similarly the vast majority
of homestead frauds are not charge
able to practical farming. but the ap'
peal to popular prejudice has been
made in the name Of the mining In
dustry and in the name OF the farm
ers OF the country. ~
The mining laws. the reports says.
afford the greatest cloak for land
frauds in the national forests, and
fraudulent mining claims are initiated
by men and interests having no con-
nection whatever with the mining In
dustry. The mining laws, for exam
pie, have been used to cover town
site and timber claims, to recure
farms and ranches, to secure mineral
springs, sites for saloons, water power
sites and stock watering places.

TELL YOUR BOY DON'T

"Don's say Don't to your boy. Give him something to do". This was the keynote of an interview given recently by Professor John R. Bell, resident manager of the West Side Neighborhood House and principal of the Edison school in Denver. Professor Bell, because of his success in handline lads of all manner of dispositions has earned the soubriQuet of "boy-tamer."
 "I pity the boy who has no chores to do around his home. I do not see how he can develop and fear for his future. For the chores are what occupy the boys mind and giY him an opportunity to show his real worth, said Prof. Bell.
 "A few years ago the boy could easily walk into the country, pick up a friend and go fishing. Now his pleasures must be found in less wholesome surroundings. I believe the country is good for the boy and the movement to the city must be studied and watched so that it will work no harm in that way. One of the big secrets of handling boys lies in furnishing them with wholesome

One of the greatest things accomplished in our Neighborhood House has been in installing a pool room. I dis covered most of the boys we were trying to help knew how to play pool and had played in the back Of a saloon or in some ether place " here they had no business to go. So I decided to give them a chance to play pool in the Neighborhood House. And to a boy, they recog- nized the advantage of this and not one of them used indecent or vulgar language during the hours they hay played there.
 We nave given over to the forces of evil everything except what we should, it seems to me. Only a few years ago there was a terrible howl when it was suggested that we put pOolrooms in the Y. Nj. c.
