Merchants of the Southern States:

and who do not make the most of
their opportunities. True, there are
some who work with will and purpose
and perform their tasks faithfully and
well, but these are few.
Some shirk and slur their work, and
try for an easy time; others yawn or
mope, complaining, “I’m go homesick!”
or “I’m so discouraged; I’ve no heart
to study.” How unkind and unjust is
this to the father and mother, and,
perhaps, elder brothers and sisters,
who are denying themselves pleasures
and comforts, to afford the delinquent
student the privileges that are thus
slighted.
We need to have determination and
persistence ground into our being
from the very cradle, that we may not
be led from our purpose by light in
fluences. Such frivolous matters often
crowd from our minds the purpose to
make life worth living. It is well
enough to enjoy the pure sweets of
life—as we go along—friendship, the
beauty of nature, even the charm of
social recreation now and then, but
we should always keep in mind the
goal of our best efforts —the storing
of our minds with useful information
and noble thoughts. It is right to have
high standards and to feel that many
great things are possible to human
beings, who are in themselves the
highest expression of divine power,
goodness and wisdom.

COLORED SCHOOL AT TUSKEGEE.
Dear Mr. Upshaw:
Please give me a wee corner in
The Voices of Youth. I think The Gol
den Age is one of the best papers pub
lished. I particularly enjoy reading
the letters from the young folks of
the different states. But the entire
paper is filled with things that are
noble and inspiring.
I notice there are but few letters
from dear old Alabama, so decided I
would write.
I live near the prosperous little
town of Tuskegee. At Tuskegee there
is a normal school for negroes. Col
ored students from all parts of the
world are to be found there. It cer
tainly is a fine school. I don’t see
why we white children can’t have
one as good.
Our school will open in a few days,
and I will be so glad, as I intend to
have an education if possible, and I
wish to improve every opportunity
to learn something.
Good wishes to the Cousins, and
best regards to the editor of The
Golden Age.

It
A HARD JOB.
There is an old Irishman in Balti
more who for many years was pros
perous as a grocer. Not long ago,
however, the old fellow lost his all in
“a side line,” and was compelled to
look for a job. Through the influ
ence of a friend he was offered the
position of crossing-tender at a small
railroad station in Maryland.
The Celt looked dubious as the du
ties of the office were explained to
him and the meaning of the various
flags was stated.
“In case of danger, you wave the
red flag,” explained the man told off
to instruct Mike.
“Wait a bit, wait a bit,” interrupted
Mike, with a doubtful shake of the
head. “I’m afraid this job ’d be too
much for me. I could never trust me
silf to remimber to wave a red flag
whin there was a green wan handy.”—

value always for the least amount of
money,” and “We never consider a

a mail order business exceeding

The idea around which this business
has been built was to furnish families
and thrifty housekeepers supplies of
household necessities, such as toilet
and laundry soaps, toilet preparations,
perfumes, extracts, baking ' powder,
teas, coffees, spices, cocoa, chocolate,
etc., direct from the manufacturer and
importer, and with each order a prem

given. The premium represents the
