SHOULD YOU PATRoNIzE HIM?

Because Mrs. j. c. Brown of 2S04
Welton st. rented for $11.50 n certain
house belonging to the Conway
Bogue Realty Co.. thru the efforts OF
Mr.. Harry Cowell of the Colored
American Realty Branch, when the
Five Points realty man wanted $500
per month, the Star is becoming anx-
ious to know whether colored people
at Five Points are forced to pay more
for rentals. The best way out Is:
Any time you cannot get what you
want, phone the Colored American
Realty Co. Any insults or embarrass-
ments, let them bear It; it's in the
business. If you go and get insulted
you are alone injured. Why not rent
thru colored man anyway? Read

BETANCOURT BUYS A HAT


The other day Senior Don Julio
Betancourt, minister to the United
States from Colombia, received wire
less message from Sonora Betancourt,
who was on board the steamer AL
mirante on her way to this country.
The minister, with a worried express
sion on his countenance, at once took
a train for New York and hustled over
to the Fifth avenue shopping district,
for the wireless told him that his wife
had lost her hat overheard and,
though she had plenty of hats left,
not one was fit for minister's wife
to wear when landing in the metropo-
lis. Pretty soon a revenue cutter
bore Don Julio down the bay to meet
the Almirante, and with him was an
attache of the Colombia embassy car
rying a big hat box in his lap as ten

for a deputy sheriff to visit the retail
establishment of certain prominent
drink merchant, because the key to

behind the bar. There was only one
key, but there were several deputy
sheriffs and a great many people to

to do was to have the key in a central

DIR. Francis Il. Clark Tells of the
Country and People-Politeness
Worthy of ImItation--Rare Love OF
the Beautiful.
Rev. Francis f. Clark. president of
the Worlds Christian Endeavor
Union, after a recent visit to Japan,
pays to the Japanese a high and
unique tribute. which Is here quoted
because Of the ultimate light it throws
upon the character and customs Of
that versatile and interesting people.
He says;
II make my bow first to their pic
turesqueness. There Is no other such
picturesque nation on the fact of the
earth. l believe. Every baby bounc-
ing up and down on Its bigger sis
ter's back is a picture. Every school
girl in a gorgeous kimono, decorated
with all the colors OF the rainbow
and a few to spare. is a picture.
Every fruit-stall. the fish stores. and
china shops-tust the common, every
day things-all are pictures, to say
nothing of the great pictures In which
| forests and mountains and parks and
castles figure.
Again l make my bow to the Jap
anese because of their extraordinary
! politeness. One sees 1t exhibited
on every occasion, when two friends
meet When lilAy part, w tIsit lle sci :
want opens the door, or when she
hands you a cup OF coffee. 1t
! Is like the smile that won't come off.
Some people say 1t is only skin
/ deep. IL so, it is nevertheless very
attractive. and worthy Of imitation by
our brusquer nation.
Again | make my bow to Japanese
courage ! do not mean In war--that
is evident enough--but in everyday
life They are not afraid OF failure.
They will try to talk English as soon
as they know half a dozen words.
They will put up an English sign over
a shop when entirely ignorant Of Eng

these signs:
