Everybody and every-, thing is in constant 'peril and it is well we don't know >it, for it woufd nuke us very miserable. The people of (ialvestoa o?d Jacksonville eae&p ed the worst afflictions-the dread storm and fire--the agony of fear and apprehension.

What aoollege. education is doing for this generation bf negroes I* am at'a loss to know. If I have ever seen ono of them he waa not at work. Thia thing of education is changing so rapidly that we old timers can't keep up with it. The most important feature of it now seems to ber kicking or batting a ball, and some of the colleges send their boys 500 miles away to play a game. I had hope that the-Tech boys would come out good mechanics, but they don't seem to have time to do anything but play ball. The develop ment of the muscles of tho arms and tho legs is very important. 8uoh boys are needed in every town and city for firemen aud to run with the hose reel and climb the ?adders, so I reokon it is all right-I hope so. But we are all getting along fairly well now and in the enjoyment of more blessings than curses. The weather ie delightful, the flowers are iu bloom, the garden prospering and we are luxuriating on green peas, strawberries and asparagus ?very day. ? The chrysanthemums are looming up and my wife wants sae to separate them and transplant, bat I don't feel like it.

Schwab's address was the last ,hiug on the program with tho excep tion of the awarding of prises and di plomas. He was iutrodnced by Chair man Frank E. Hagemoyer as a man Rho had fought battles and woe 7?3 tories in the struggle of life and there fore was well qualified to givo boys idvicc th it was fouudeu on praotical experience. "I will speak to you," began Mr. Schwa >, "'^just ' BS though you had cc!"c to my c-Cac? unking iur advice, and the first thing I will say to you is to como alono. Don't come with somebody's backing. Learn to rely upon yourself. That is tho first lesson. If you corne indorsed by somebody of influence it always will leave room for otlicrs to say that whatever position you muy got you got it by influence and not because of your individual merit. No tfuo success is built on influence. You must win your posi tions fer yourself. "Then here is another thing that is essential-yon must do what you are employed to do a little better than anybody ciao does it. Every body is expected to do his duly, but the boy who does his duty and a little more than his duty is the boy who is going to succeed in this world. You must tako an interest in what you are doing and it must be a genuine inter est." Here Mr. Schwab told a story which everybody understood referred to himself. . Afterwards he told an other story which it was 'equally well understood referred to H. C. Frick. "She stories follow: ? "There were ten boys employed by a ooncern onoe, and one night the manager said to his subordinate : Tell the boys they are to stay a little long er to-night-tell them that they are to stay until 6 o'clock. Don't tell them why. Just tell them that and watch them.' So this was done, and whon G o'dook came ar mad there was just one boy who was wholly interest ed in his work, and was not watofaing the clock to see what time it was. That boy waa the one the manager wanted, and he was taken into the office, (nd as he continued to manifest the same interest in his work he was promoted ?mil at last he got a very responsive place. "Then there was another boy. He began oarryiog water, and he did it so much better than any other boy, see ing to it always that thc men had good water, cool water and plenty of it, that he attracted attention to him self. Ile was taken into the office, f.'hcro he became, in time, superinten dent ?nd then general manager, and he is now the-mao that is at the bead of the great Carnegie company with thousands of men under him. As a boy he did more than the ordinary run of boys did, and so attracted atten tion, and that was the secret of his first step upward.
