Babylon Is Not Dead

No. Babylon is not dead!
I saw Babylon yesterday
In the grnning face of red-cap
In Pennsylvania Station.
And later, in the movements
Of dark girls body in a cabaret.
And only last night, saw Babylon
Preaching against race hatred
From stepladder, on Lenox avenue.
No, Babylon is not dead
I heard Babylon, when dark girl sang:
''I'rn SO glad, my troubles won't last always"
Babylon is in the oppressed races
Rising from under the yoke of oppression.
Perhaps Babylon did sleep for a while;
But Babylon never died
This is the day of Babylons awakening.

Mr.. Pullman, who won fame an
Company and inadvertently the
Pullman porter, would have made
an ace detective on any city's police
force. To go further, J. Edgar
Hoover would have welcomed him
on his hand-picked staff of G-men.
Most people have five senses
feeling, smelling, seeing, tasting,
hearing. He had another, a rare
sixth sense, but nobody except his
intimate acquaintance would have
given him credit for having an
ounce of it. This sixth sense,
cunning piece of mechanism, which
could start at the will of the unique
man, was used in business as well
as in pleasure. George M. Pullman
| by looking at a man could tell his
occupation.
The founder of the great sleep
ing car company had departed
from his office and was making
his way along one of the famous
public thoroughfares of Chicago
when he met friend-a very close
frjend--who suggested they con-
tinue walking three or four blocks
for the exercise and for converse
ton.
Both Mr.. Pullman and his friend
were impeccably dressed in the
! fashion of the day--Prince Albert
coats, striped pants, high silk
hats and highly polished black
shoes.
Il can't seem to contact them at
ALL" said Pullman to his friend.
Either something gone wrong or
else. =" He never finished the
line. Chances passed from one to
another.
In a dreamlike manner walking
toward them was a handsome,
brownskin, athletically built, Ne
gro. From the crayat at his throat
to the shoes on his feet, from all
appearances, he was a gentleman
and a man of honor. Had he been
schOoled in the thought Keep up
your appearances whatever you
do? That sixth sense of Mr.. Pull
man began to click.
The colored man, too, was
dressed in the height Of fashion.
His Prince Albert was a ching of
beauty and a joy forever" Superb
hand needlework had been lavished
upon it. The choicest woods had
gone into its making and the cloth
had been doomed by masters of the
art. The coat had been made to
exacting specifications and cut to
give the waistline an illusion of
slimness with all the newest style
details and quality tailoring.
His mirrored polished shoes, his
razoredged pressed pants. his high
silk hat setting at the exact angle,
were manners"
Observing ali this in the first in
curing glance with which a visitor
surveys place that is new to him,
Mr.. Pullman turned and looked at
his friend. The friend saw nothing
but the fiawlessly dressed Negro
coming toward them.
The smartly dressed pedestrian,
with an air of authority and with
the walk of a Lord Chesterfield,
was getting nearer.
George" said the friend to
Pullman, Il have been told that
you can tell a mans occupation by
just looking at him. I'll wager you
five dollars that you cannot guess
the occupation of the scholarly
looking gentleman coming toward
u.s."
~ thought no one knew my
little secret until I accidentally
heard some of my friends discuss
ing me. I'll guarantee you I have
never seen the man before in my
| life-but it's a bet" said Mr.. Pull
