veyed by sea and landed safely IN
Rome is the great equestrian one OF

DO of IS. Giovanni Paolo. 'Ruskin

a more glorious work Of sculpture eX7.
listing in the world" This statue Is
of course, of bronze, and was mod
eled by the FIorentine sculptor and
painter Andrea Verrocchio in 14Sl, as
sisted by his more famous pupil, Leon
ardo da Vinci, Rev. Alexander Rob
ertson writes in the Christian Herald.
After Verrocchio's death, it was cast
in bronze by Leopard.
There is a story told to the effect
that when Leopard had finished his
work, he quarreled with the republic
over it. As be could not come to
settlement, he knocked off the horses
head and escaped to Florence. The
republic ordered him to return, but
he refused, saying: 81 have knocked
off the horses head, it is true, but
can put it on again; but If I come
to Venice and you take off my head,
you could not put it on again" The
republic forgave him, assured him of
his life. and reward, and he returned
and finished his work.

Set Your Aim HIGH.

The harder the tasks you voluntarily
accomplish the greater is the reserve
you are storing for the future. To
doubt is to paralyze progress. To face
the problems obstructing your path
way with a courageous smile and de-
termined face will help you and others
to remove them. When you are used
to making big demands you won't be
afraid of big jobs. They are a COM
pliment to your ability. Become rec
ognized. victG in one thing and the
world will supply the future with op-
portunities for the exercise of the pow
er you enjoy. It comes from the prop
er self-estimate.

PhMSicai COURAGE.

Physical courage Is common at
tribute of the male sex. in men and
animals. It is displayed to the highest
degree in the mother defending her
Young. when "the female of her spe.

Physical cowardice Is uncommon.
Physical courage depends much on
the size Of the heart, therefore is not
within the control of person..
Moral courage is superior to physi-
cal conra gc-although man may
have both. Often. it needs more cour-
age for young man to say No"

Failure Of E. T. Banks, rolored Y,

votes as he had names on his petition,
filed with the board Of elections,
when he qualified as q candidate sor
the nomination for city commissioner,
is matter of considerable interest.
Something over TOO names were nee

no doubt, there were many of white
persons, who were anxious 10 see Mr..
Banks obtain some sort of. recognition
at the hands Of voters.
The interesting part of The matter,
however, comes with the eonsidera-
.tion Of the oft-repeated statement
that there are approximately $500
colored votsrs in the city. That be-
ing true, then Mr.. Banks with his
total of 594 votes, shows tlsst only i
fraction more than 25 per ec.it OF the
people Of his own race voted aor him.
Mr.. Banks, as he indicated III some
of his campaign literature, or that
was put out in his behalf, is now and
always has been staunch supporter
OF the non-paristan commissions

enjoys. He has repeatedly claimed
that the members of his rare, being
for The most part supporters. Of the
plan, had not been sufficiently recog-
nized in the way of getting city po-
sitions.
Here was an opportunity, then, for
the members of the negro race ito
have aided one of their number lii
getting recognition. Had all the col
ored people Of the city--the estimated
$500 voters supported Mr.. Banks he
would have been one OF the four nom
inees who would come before The
people at the November election. He
would have polled higher vote than
either Mr.. Farrell or Mr.. Geisler, both
of whom received less than that mum

AS it was, it is apparent The negro
voters failed him, and gave little heed
to his call for help.
