WONDERFUL EXPOSITION.
The Pageant of Progress is the big
gest business proposition that has
been put into being in the last fifty
years. With merely a pittance, and
without a governmental appropriation,
it has proved already in a few days
that it is equal to the world's fair. A
one-man idea, a one-man management,
but its results will l.e a great help to
the entire world.

Howard Football campaign for the

was decided to have the men return

the dormitories of the University so
that nothing should stand in the way
of the schedule of preliminary prac

Chicago has for the last passed

to debate, and to deliberate on the
passing, but pressing subjects that
concern fifteen millions of dark faces

SPLENDOR OF YOUTH.
The heart of youth is a wide prairie.
Over it hangs the clouds of heaven to
water it, the sun throws its broad
' sheets of light upon it, to wake its life;
out of its bosom -spring, the long sea
son through, flowers of a hundred
names and hues, twining together
their lovely forms, wafting to each
other a grateful color, and nodding
each to each, in the summer breeze.
Oh, such would man be did he hold
