men of this city Sunday night. He
made some telling points in develop
ing how Negroes are sometimes un-
prepared; try to- get by" practice
the get-rich-quick system and how we
fail to properly respect our business
and professional men. II the West
wants a big Negro. let the West de-
velop and make him. Let us get to-
sether and begin with the little babes
to inculcate these ideas into their
brain. The youth and old people are
too old; begin with the babies now"
said the Reverend. Many of the con-
gregation warmly shook his hand.

BOOK LORE.
What the September Magazines Contain
of Interest to Readers.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside" Fraak G. OdeIl tells how he
handles bees with safety. He can
put hatful of bees on his unprotected
head, scoop up quart and tuck them
inside his shirt, next the skin-all this
without being stung, except rarely as
a result Of carelessness. The follow
ing extract taken from the article
gives Mr.. 0dell's explanation of why
he can handle bees with safety:
That much abused term conf
dence, which is overworked by poll
ticians, is the biggest asset in hand
ling bees or men.
Among humans all degrees of intel
ligence, education, or physical fitness
yield alike TO mastering impulses
For illustration, witness the psychology
of panic stricken crowd. Here all
physical or mental fitness yields to the
impulse of the moment. II is much
the same with the bees.
"a hiveful of bees dumped in a mass
with sudden jerk which dislodges
them from the combs must be imbued
with asense of panic. Bees, being
creatures of intelligence, are like hu.
mans in that they can think of but one
thing at a given time with success.
Under the condition set forth, panic
usurps the individual sense of self. de-
fense which leads the abused bee to
sting. If that is not the answer
have none, and thousands of demon
strations under every sort of condition
appear to demonstrate the theory.
do not gather from this that
there is no danger involved in the gem
tie art of doing stunts with bees. The
operator must be on edge every sec
ond to avoid unnecessary movements
which will anger his pets

The Oyster Season
Opens Tomorrow Sept. l.

Tongers in the rivers on both sides
of the Bay have already overhauled
their equipment to be in readiness as
soon as the law permits them to work
on the beds. While the demand for
the bivalves is not expected to be
heavy this early in the season, dozen
boats will be in readiness to bring the
catch to supply the local hotels and raw
bars.
Martin and Clark, oyster commits
sion merchants. say that they expect
several boats in tomorrow morning.
These boats will not come fully loaded,
but with several hundred bushels each
to test the markets demand. Oysters
will be plentiful and large this season.
they say, for the beds investigated on
both sides of the Bay show the guam
tity larger and the growth greater
than in past seasons.
Reports Of oystermen from all parts
of the Bay are promising, and it is de-
clared that if the Gull law is rigidly
enforced there should be no scarcity of
fine select oysters to supply the in
creasing demand.
