Mr. Washington made himself useful to those about him. not only hla own people but the white race as well Born a slave, knowing nothing of fata ancentry beyond hla mother, never having slept In a bed or eaten at a table until a man full grown, nevertheless he secured an education, after which he made the uplift of hla people the business of life. He accomplished more for their good than any other man now living or dead. He worked with hla hands and head, eschewing evil and the contaminating Influences of politics. Hla career was along lines of useful nees In everyday affairs, for which he was revered by hla own race and honored by the whites more than per haps any other of bis color. Presi dents, kings, emperors, ambassadors, statesmen, scholars and business men vied with one another to do him homage. He traveled over this coun try extensively and visited Europe twice, receiving every consideration wherever he went. Upon him was conferred college degrees, such as never were before or since given a colored man. All because he resolved early In life to become useful to hla community and country. What a no ble example, worthy of emulation by all people everywhere of whatsoever race or creed. Truly, the life of Booker T.
