SOME HOPEFUL SIGNS.

1t is encouraging to notice that so
mapy Negro laborers are employed
on contract work. They are work
ing on buildings, laying asphalt and
digging sewers. They are holding
responsible positions as janitors and
porters chauffeurs and transfers
Many avenues of employment are
open, and it is a certainty that Ne
groes can and will do other work
than "wait on table" or "run on the
railroad" The women are also MAX
ing opportunities for themselves.
They are willing workers and are
elassed as preferred help. A great
portion of these mental laborers are
wearing "the ragged jacket" but
they are buying homes and rearing
children, earning an honest living and
contributing to posterity. They are
the moulders of the future and the
makers of the race.

To be a Negro in a day like this
Demands forgiveness. Bruised with
blow on blow, ..
Betrayed, like him whose woe-diln-

Still must one succor those who

TO be a Negro in day like this
Demands strange loyalty. We serve

To be Negro in a day like this.
To be Negro in day like this
Demands rare patience-pat;ence
that can wait
In utter darkness. IT'S the path to

And knock, unheeded, at an iron

Mother May Take off My Shoes and Stockings?

gested the friend, its just a habit
Of denying children's requests because
so many of them are foolish and un-
reasonable" The mother admitted
that probably it was.
Although we hate the idea of bull
doing the young children, we get the
habit Of saying No" before consider
ing the merits of the request Not
withstanding our chagrin on being
nagged again and again into making
concessions to our children, we get
the habit of saying NO" However
much we may regret it the moment
after, we obey that impulse and still
say No"
Again and again, in your intercourse
with children, you will find it advis-
able and necessary to say NO" Well
then, say it; and stick to it! The
great problem is to say NO" nine
times and then be still able to say
yes" If need be, the tenth time. In
other words, we must avoid getting the
habit Of giving children any stereo-
typed answer. Every request and
every question must be met with the
freshness of a new situation and treat
ed on its merits Only thus can we
expect to retain the children's conf.
dence in our judgment and in our
reasonableness.

He Had the Price.

Bill McCabe's Poughkeepsie team
was playing the Kingston team one
day years ago, In the Atlantic league,
and a guy named Fogarty was umpire.
In the ninth inning, with the score
tied, two of McCabe's men played out.
and as Bill had only one man extra.
he had to rush the bleacher seats TO
find man to fill in. He drew big
hick, who said he couldn't play, but for
the fun could fill in. There were two
out at the time and the fans were ex-
cited.
Our hero, the hick, came to bat. He
drew three balls and the next one
across he picked over the left field
fence for homer Instead OF running,
the fathead stood there while the
crowd howled itself mad. McCabe ran
out to him and yelled. Run. you boob.

Lawrence took his departure, sulk-
