Some poets adopt an individual
style,
And maybe find out it works after
a trial,
Use a meter that produces a swing,
Easy to pronounce and words you
can sing.
Some poets write SO every line
rhymes,
It's the simple meter and easily
chimes
With the thought you want to say,
Finding the right word sometimes
takes a day.
Another style is to make every
other line rhyme
The first and third or second and
fourth every time,
There are others but these are in
common use
And readers like a familiar meter
when they peruse,
There are many styles more to
write in,
But there are few who ever begin
To write complicated poetry as
deep study is required,
To interpret its meaning the public
would soon get tired.
Now the poetic editor can write
in most any style,
Use big words that look as long as
a mile,
What the public wants is thoughts
put in a way,
That are easy to grasp and nc
work to stay.

SAFETY FIRST IN COLORS
By Hobart T. Mitchell

The Hytken Bros, merchants in
Cleveland, Mississippi, ordered a
bill of goods from the Hanover
Children's Wear Co., through a
travelling salesman living in Mis-
sissippi.
1t was contended by the Hytken
Bros, that when the goods arrived
the colors were duplicated, and
that there was an understanding
that there would be no duplication
of colors of the different numbers;
that is to say, each dress would
have a particular color all of its
own, so that no two buyers would
buy exactly the same dress as far
as color and looks were concerned.
Hytken Bros. reason for this was

that should a Negro or some other
person buy a dress of particular
color or pattern that the white
trade or other persons would not
be inclined to buy another of the
same color or make.
A NEGRO TINSMITHl
The idea of the Tuskegee In
stitute was partly conceived and
initiated in 1879 by a Negro tin
smith named Lewis Adams, and by
a white banker of the Southern
aristocratic type, Mr.. George w.
Campbell. Both of them were res
idents at Tuskegee town. In the
following year the state legislature
of Alabama, struck with the work
already achieved in the education
of Negroes, decided to grant an
annual subsidy to the Institute.
Messrs. Campbell and Adams
therefore decided to apply to Gen
eral Samuel Armstrong, the Prin-
cipal of Hampton, for a colored
teacher who should be competent
to direct the little school, which
had been founded on the site of
