OUR SUCCESS IN MUSIC.
Most Distinctive In America,
Saws BENJAMIN Brawiey.

Benjamin Brawley In recent
article In the Southern Work
man has the following to say Of
the possibilities of the race for
advancement In the arts and In
music:
With reference to the Negro
two things are observable. One
Is that any distinction so far
won by member OF the race In
America has been almost always
in some one Of the arts, and the
other Is that any influence so far
exerted by the Negro on Ameri-
can civilization has been prima-
I .rily-in the field of aesthetics. But
there is something deeper than
the sensoousness of beauty that
makes for the possibilities of the
Negro In the realm Of the arts,
and that is the soul of the race.
( The wall Of the old melodies
and the plaintiye quality that Is
ever present in the Negro voice
are but the reflection of the back
ground of tragedy. No race can
rise to the greatest heights of
art until It has yearned and suf-
fered. The Russians are a case
In point. Such has been their
background In oppression and
striving that their literature and
art today are marked by an un-
mistakable note of power. The
same future beckons to the Amer
} lean Negro.
The Negro has great gifts of
} voice and ear and soul, but so
s far much of his talent has not
scared above the vaudeville
stage. This is due most largely,
of course, to economic instability.
1t is the call of patriotism, how
ever. that America should realize
that the Negro has peculiar gifts
Z which. need all possible cultiva-
5 ton and which will one day add
to the glory of the country. Al
) ready his muse Is recognized as
the most distinctive that the
United States has yet produced.

our race in this years graduating class
at the College of Pharmacy of the Uni
yersity of Ohio is Waldo Woodson

graduating class, the remaining twen-
ty-nine being white. The majority of
the white students took the two year

eight whites, took the four year course,
and this course at the University Of
Ohio is regarded as one of the hardest
and most efficient of any university In
the country.

up the University OF Ohio there will
graduate this year over 800 students,
only seven of whom are colored. One
young colored man graduates from the
College, of Agriculture in the person Of

HUNTING on Lower Colorado.

To the hunter of game. both large
and small the Colorado will appear
most notable as being the gateway to
what is undoubtedly the best easily
reached shooting ground in North
America, the delta country about the
head of the Gulf OF California in Mex
ico Here. besides wealth Of bird
life that is equaled by few regions in
the world, are to be found wild pig or
javelin. deer, mountain lion, jaguar.
wildcat. coyote, antelope and noun.
tain sheep. The delta country, with
its hunting. is generally the objective
of the Colorado voyageur in any case,
and for one whose time is limited the
most expeditions plan will be to outfit
at Yuma and float down the river to
the end of the gulf from that point
With plenty of time at ones disposal
1t will be worth while to make the
Needles the point Of embarkation. az
the stretch between there and Yuma

scenery with safe going that Is eaualed
by few streams in notwithstanding.

Rhine formed the boundary line Of
Roman Gaul. Though the Roman en-
pire reached out beyond the broad
Rhine, the river formed, nevertheless.
it's effective barrier against the north
barbarians. However, when the realm
Of Charlemagne was divided and the
boundaries of Verdun established, the
Rhine became wholly the property OF
Germany, and France early began her
centuries-long policy of winning the
stream back again. Complete success
crowned this policy under the Napo-
leonic empire, and the Rhine became
once more the boundary of Gaul. The
Germans reassumed sovereignty OF
their beloved Father Rhine after 1871,
and in the present war the possess
sion Of the historic river is one OF
the most critical questions.
The Rhine, like a mighty tree IN
form, receives it's waters from count
less tributaries. and gives them up to
the sea through innumerable on
shoots. Its principal source issues

CHAPTER XVIII.
Two Lovely Women.

There was music at the villa des
Bougainvilleas. Miss Redmond sang;
not Goodnight, God Keep You Safe"
but other things. Ever since her talk
with Hammet Abou she had been,
II not gay, In good spirits, more like
her old self, and the Marquise dEsclig-
nae began to think that the image Of
Charles de Sabron had not been cut
too deeply upon her mind. The mar
quise, from the lounge in the shadow
of the room, enjoyed the picture
(Sabron would not have added it to
his collection) of her niece at the
piano and the Due de fremont by her
side. The Comtesse de la Maine sat
in little shadow of her own, musing
and enjoying the picture of the Duo
de fremont and Miss Redmond very
indiferently. She did not sing; she
had no parlor accomplishments. She
was poor, a widow, and had a child
She was not brilliant match.

On it's way the Rhine is fed, directly
and indirectly, by $4,000 tributaries,
and it drains more than $4,000 square
miles. Where the Rhine enters Ger

is a project to make the Rhine navi-

the great timber RATS upon the Mis-
sissippi, as Mark TWAIN describes
them, can be seen in season floating
down the Rhine. Some of these RATS
are 800 feet in length, and are guided

.ected the conscious life of race SO
1eeply as has the German Rhine.
Rising in the highest Alps il cen
raj Europe, the Rhine reaches the
North sea after a journey of $50
miles, and the last part of its course
Is through lowland whose surface
Is below the tides crest. The river
gathers its water at the base of melt
ing glaciers, plunges over great rock
masses toward its lower levels, cuts
through the widest mountain valleys,
traverses a wonderful high, broad
plain, and then, entering its famous
gorge, wanders through exquisite pan
Dramas, through a lane everywhere
mantled with ruins Of historic castles,
abbeys, churches, and every foot of
its way celebrated by legend or his
tory. After emerging from its gorge,
1t flows through plain where power
'ul steel, textile and chemical indus
lies center. Through Germany and
volland the Rhine forms the principal
/. ater avenue of central and western
europe, and an enormous commerce
b. handled through its ports.
The Rhine is international. 1t is

many and Holland. That part Of the
river which lies in Germany, 450
miles in length. has been most dis.

"And II you do not give it, 1t will be
the worse for you"

fremont said:

and probably knows nothing about

But Miss Redmond paid no atten

her voice and asked the man:
