of much service and more than pay
for the time and money laid in learn
ing the trade.
Mr.. Thomas was wise enough to
take time by the fore lock and to
prepare himself and not to stand
back and whine and complain be-
cause he thought he could not be
employed, but he seemed to have
that stone fitted for the wall would
not be allowed to lie in the street.
We all no doubt are familiar with
the story and history of the famous
yindetta stone that had lain in the
grass and among the rubbish, but
which had been prepared for GER
tain place and when it was needed
was found to be the topmost stone
needed to complete the great his
toric temple. So it must ever be
that the man fitted for the place in
the worlds niche, will at last be ac-
require time and some degree OF pa
tent and prudence. We wish to con-
graduate Mr.. Thomas, and hope that
his kind will increase. There is some
more room at the top and another of
our Dallas young men of honest toll
and sober habits and sterling in
dustry has found plenty of room at
the top and says by his actions that
the room for improvement is the big
gest room in all the world. We shall
speak of this worthy young man in
the next paragraph and portray some
of his manly qualities. Read for
yourself.
Mr.. S. w. Coleman, 2SO9 Cochran
street, this city, is high class
church layman of the Macedonia Bap-
fist, and vice president of the Lay
mans Association and also assistant
Superintendent of the Sunday school
of that church, is skilled workman
who also took the time TO prepare
himself along mechanical lines in
hand dexterity in which brains are
required with a fair knowledge of
physcsi, algebra and geometry.
Our worthy subject, Mr.. Coleman
enters Carlisle University where he
spends four years studying in the
use of electrical experience as a
skilled craftman and after the eX-
piration of the four years of asid-
GUS and arduous application, he is
awarded a diploma of efficiency in
! his chosen profession. We all can
readily see that it is the highest of
wisdom to prepare to have trained
hands to go along with skilled
mind.
Mr.. Coleman has travelled extern
sive throughout the entire continent
of South American as well as all
parts of Canada. Is not some way

not become acquainted with each
other along the line Of proficiency and
culture?
Carlisle University is govern
ment school of high grade and as
such, student was required to be
very proficient along all lines in con-
nection with this school, not only in
| the trade that was being studied but
also along literary lines. For this
purpose each student was subjected
to periodical examinations in the lit
erary as well as the handicrafts. In
other words he must not be misfit,
hut and adept and an all round sub
ject. Mr.. Coleman enjoys the dis
tinction of following his avocation
in this city his home town. A polish
shaft will be placed in that part of
the building that Is to be adorn, the
front of the building when the eyes
and the good taste are to be appre-
ciated. 1t must be pleasure to have
such a young man connected with
the work of the church and Sunday
school who thinks of God first and
his fellows at the same time to work
and pray the struggle never give DER.
All honor to these two men, let
others go and do likewise
