THE NEGRO'S OFFER.
Will you run to the store
For ME, Willie,
My son, say it's too cold.
The request was made
Of q colored lad,
Who was just eight years old.
The other lad was white,
Willie's little neighbor friend,
His father thought it too cold
For him, although
His age was ten.
Yes, sir, I'll run to the store,
Will you give me nickel please,
Then in his threadbare overcoat,
The little fellow squeezed.
In less than fifteen minutes,
With his package he'd returned,
And smiling, thanked the
White man for the nickel
He bad earned.
Will you weed my garden, Willie?
NY son says it's too hot,
Willie now was fourteen, - 4---ssas'
And the first request forgot.
Yes, sir, I'll weed your garden,
II wear big straw hat;
Do you think thirty cents
Is toe much for that? j
Although the sun was very hot,
Willie. worked hard all day,
Politely thanked the white man,
When he received his pay.
Will you be my porter, Willie?
I dare not ask my son,
Willie now was married;
His age was twenty-one.
Yes, I'll be your porter,
If you will pay enough,
The men are getting two dollars
A day, that are
Digging up at the bluff. ''@ @'.
L We uld not be so particular,
But I'm trying to buy home,
l do not wish my wife to work,
So must pay for it alone;
There are many assessments;
And taxes now are due,
II you'll pay two dollars day
I'll come and work for you.
Willie, those men who are
Getting two dollars a day,
Wou must remember, they
Are white.
If the boss would hire you,
There sure would be fight;
Since they organized unions,
They won't give your people work,
You cannot see the reason;
They claim your color shirks.
No, Willie, you never shirk,
That's something I must say,
If you will work for me
I'll pay you one dollar and half a
day.
Wou will pay it to some one else,
My man, I'll not work for you,
That would not buy my
Clothes and food and
Pay for my home too. <
Ever since was boy
I've worked too cheaf for you;
am a man now and aarried,
Pyc decided that Pm through.
No, I'll not be arrested,
Because I have no work;
There's colored man in town
Who knows never shirk.
He has opened first class
Restaurant, and as came
Down that way,
He offered me a steady job
At two dollars a day.
My word is my honor;
I had promised and come to see
If on the price Of porter work
We could agree.
My wife really objected
TO ne working in a saloon,
She says, "You think it's the
s Negroes place emptying ~@a h
Your spittoons."
Now don't be angry, Mr.. Smith,
The white men never shirk,
You can get one for dollar
And a half 5.l
To do your porter work.

Exotic fruits and flowers in cutout

instances this TRIMMING Is of taffeta
and satin. but 1t is likely that we
shall see a good deal Of II reproduced
In velvet as the winter season ap-

Fur is being used in a number OF
unusual ways to form floral petals
or define lace motifs. Every effort

unique effects and to give TO even
the most commonplace garment o: hat

with the newest creations.
All the new shades are represented.

America has one city wherein boy
policemen are doing real work. The

is known as the Junior Police Force Of
the City Of New York.
Good results have already come from
the union OF these 800 or more young
sters. who are banded together to up
hold the law. maintain order and keep
clean the streets near the Bowery.
Captain John Sweeny Of the regulars.
who heads this force. says that bon
fires have been reduced 90 per cent In
the district. complaints Of disorderly
street gatherings have been cut to less
than half. street cleaning has been
made lighter. fire escapes cleared. gar

smoking made unpopular.

A Stocking Case.

Re made OF any preferred material.
as linen. silk. sateen with an outer
covering OF something sheer, as wolfe,
scrim or dotted Swiss. the decoration
being to suit ones fancy.
To make a case holding a dozen
pairs OF stockings one needs a strip
about nine inches wide and over a
yard long. At one end the strip is
turned up to form a pocket. and at
the other II is cut into a pointed flap.
A second strip about FIVE inches wide
and the length OF the wider one
minus the pocket is bound with rib
bon or tape or one long side. The
opposite edge is laid even with the
wider strip and basted there. Nex
the double strips are divided into IL
pockets Just as one would make a
shoe bag. Then all edges OF the case
are bound with the selected bindings.
The larger pocket is to hold the stock
ings that need darning. while the
smaller ones take one pair each rolled
up smoothly ready to put on.
As II is dit!cult 10 keep stockings

DICTATES OF FASHION

Along with the other oldtime fea.

WHAT IS A NORMAL SCHOOL,

Not every man can teach what he
knows.
Not every school master can
make the children interested and
shape their growth.
The training OF teachers is rather
new in this country. II used to be
supposed that anybody who was
lame and could not work might be
set to teach the children!
The Berea Normal School has as
its one aim the benefit Of the chill
dren Of the mountain region. II
aims to give them teachers who
will know their business and can
cause the children to love their
studies and make rapid progress
toward manhood and womanhood.
II is one OF the very few normal
schools in the world in which the
majority OF the students are young
men, and in which the chief at
ention is given in fitting teachers
for work in the country districts.
The equipments of the Berea Nor
NAL School are great. Chief among
them stands the wonderful Car
negie Library. and the Knapp Hall
for practice teaching.
The School has longer and shorter
courses of study. Those who COM
plete the longest course receive a
certificate from the State without
examination. Those who go for
only a single term get ideas which
they can work out by themselves.
The School has great advantages
also by being connected with the
