Be Of Good Courage By Clara Augusta Trask. HERE is nothing more important and necessary to success in life than good courage. The cheerful, persevering, ener getic, undiscouraged man is the one who wins every time. The man who says "I can't" never gets anywhere. Let not valuable time be wasted in envying the man of millIons. Everybody cannot be a capitalist. There must be laborers. and the laborers want to realize and accept the fact that if there were no. great fortunes. the whole vast sys tem of political economics would speedily go to ruin. And oft the other hand, capitalists want to bear in mind that without labor wealth could not be developed, and progress would stop at its very inception. Envy is at the root of untold evils. And envy-the lowest and meanest of all e human passions-has no business in the breast of an honest man. It should be a matter for rejoicing that prosperity is abroad in the land. No man's path to progress should lie across the shipwreck of any fellow-man's hopes and as-. pirations Courage makes a man the peer of kings. It lifts him above worldly disas- S ters. It keeps him true to his purpose, loyal to his convictions, and earnest and untiring in his labors. It says to Doubt, there is no such word as fail. Disappointment that discourages is impossible, for courage shall in the end prevail over everything adverse, and victory shall crown patient and persistent endeavor. Do not sit down in idlenoss because the right opportunity does not lie ready to your hand. Work at what offers, and work faithfully, and in the meantime be on the lookout for the opportunity you long for. Do not allow any would-be philosopher of a pessimistic turn to dishearten you by the kind of cheap talk t which would have you believe that all the best positions in the world are filled, and that there is no longer any chance for the earnest and willing wo-rk er. Look for you- :hance, and when you have found it put your trade-mark upon it, and stick to it. Persistent effort wins. Faith can remove mountains. Seas have been converted iito dry land, continents have been reclaimed from the wilderness, deserts have been transformed into blossoming Edens, the ocean has been made the medium by which the far East speaks to the far West, and the peo pie 'of the setti-ng sirn have been brought within a few days' distance of each other by -courage and effort. No good thing is brought forth from the storehouse of Nature without labor. Work is God's own law and method. Be glad that it can be yours. also. Make the most of the powers you uave, and don't waste time in vain and weak re pinings. And -o -matter what betides, cultivate a cheerful, happy spirit, and in so doing you not only -make your own chances of success tenfold greater, but you are the means of putting new hope and vigor into many a despondent and dis beartened traveler .along the pathway of life. f$How Witnesses Err By Prof. Cesare Lombroso. PART from the frequenoy of the pathological lie (the lie told by those who are inclined to falsehood without reason) it is necessary to remember that many have been led into error through inaccurate observation. It is a well-known fact that a square divided horizontally appears greater in breadth than in height, but when divided vertically it appears great er in height than in breadth. Similarly, a man dressed in black seems smaller and thinner than when clad in white. We know, too, that when objects suddenly loom upon us on a dark night w e see them magnified extraordinarily. The causes of psycholg ical error are numerous. Fear and sorrow intercept sensations andfasy them. An ordinarily courageous man, unnerved in a railway smash, declarat that he had seen a hundred bodies wedged between the carriages. As a mat ter of fact, there was only one. On the same occasion another man ray away, imagining that he could hear the derailed engine behind him for three-qilar' ters of an hour. A criminal named Gusio threw himself upon his warderan hndei wenuty" i't was a fish. h inarealt if a moving object is the sum total of a series of images of pTal iae t. Some of these images are perceived only by one set of per partal mvbye another set.

Bensley, a ANursery Governess. ~~ T is riot the material aids to existence which are the bane of the hotel child; it is the mental and spiritual attitude accompa~nying this life which is to be depreciated. It destroys a democratic spirit through emphasizing the difference between the servant and the served; it exaggerates the pow er of money, fosters a spirit of dependence, and unfits the pampered individual for any other kind of life; and, worse of all, in a child so brought up there can be no understand standing or lov of home. There may be some future for the child who knows nothing of art--some function for the one to whom literature makes no appeal and who is no: sensitive to music, but there is no place in the state for the mnan who has neither initiative, self-reliance, patriotism, nor love of home. He is a social menace, a disease. The community is better off without this satelite of the manager, parasite of the bellboy, and source of supply for the waiter. If there is one child in our community who is superfluous, it is the hotel child. As places for temporary occupation by homeless and childless adults, hotels are to be tolerated: but as residences for children, they are without the posuiility of excuse.-Everybody's.

Hitherto 1 have spo.ken chiefly of d the obligation existing on the part of d the white man. Now let you remem her on the other hand that no help a ecan permanpntly avail you save as you o yourselves develop capacity for self t help. You younqg colored men and women educated at Tuskeegee must ] by precept and example lead your fel lows toward sober, industrious, law abbling lives. . t You ire in honor bound to jun hands in favor of law and order and to war against all crime. especially against all crime of men of your own C race; for the heaviest wrong done by t the criminal is the wrong to his own I raec. You must teach the people of your race that they must ?:crupuloiusly t1. .serve any cortract into which they .i .4,,ad faith enter, no matter wheth er it is hard to keep or not. If vou save money, secnre homes, become tax pavers and lead clean decent modest lives, Von will wi nthe respect of your ne!ighbors of bo:h races. Let each man strive to excel his fellows only by rendering substantial service to the community in which he lives. The-col ored people have many difficulties to pass through, bat these difficulties will be surmounted if only the policy of reason and coomon sense is pursued. You ha, e made real and great pro ress. According to the census the olored people of ihis country own and pay taxes upon something like three hundred million dollars worth of property, and have blotted out over fifty per cent of their illiteracy. When vou have d3ne in the past is an indica tion of what you will be able to do in the future under wise leadership. Moral and irdustrial education is what is most needed, in order that this progress many continue. The race cannot expect to get everything at once. It must learn to wait and bide its time; to prove itself worthy by showing its possession of perse verance, of thrift. of self control. The destiny'of tie race is chiefly in its own hands, ind must be workcd out patienitly and persistently along these lines. Rteme:nber also that the white man who ca b-e of most use to the colored mar- is that colored mans R is the Southern people the difficulties that exist in the South; of course what man in the South lies in his steady hope of advancement for the colored commnonsense effort to improve his moral and material condition and to work in harmony' with the white man in upbuilding the commonwealth. The fature of the South now depends upon the people of both races living up to the spirit and letter of the laws of their sev eral States ard working out the des tinies of both races, not as races. but as law abiding, American citizens.
