THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE. THE LEADING AFRO- AMERICAN DIVINES ON THE SOUTH SIDE HAVE MOVED EAST OF STATE STREET IN ORDER TO GET AWAY FROM THE GREAT MASS OF THE PEOPLE WHO FURNISH THE MONEY TO SUPPORT THEM IN LUXURY. THEY ARE TOO BUSY IN GATHERING IN TABLE AND DOLLAR MONEY TO ADMONISH THEIR HEARERS TO IMPROVE THEIR SANITARY SURROUNDINGS. THERE MUST BE A GREAT AWAKENING AMONG THE PREACHERS ALONG THESE LINES. THEY MUST TEACH THEIR FOLLOWERS TO SAVE THEIR MONEY, ACQUIRE HOMES OF THEIR OWN, AND TO BECOME MORE USEFUL CITIZENS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES. Vol. XIII THE LEADING AMERICAN ON THE HAVE MOVED EAST OF STATE ST FROM THE GREAT MASS OF MONEY TO SUPPORT THEM IN THEY ARE TOO BUSY IN GATHER EY TO ADMONISH THEIR HEA TARY SURROUNDINGS. THERE MUST BE A GREAT AWAK ALONG THESE LINES. THEY MUST TEACH THEIR FOLLO ACQUIRE HOMES OF THEIR C FUL CITIZENS IN THEIR RES It will be recalled that it was set forth in these columns several weeks ago that "the great majority of the Afro-American M. D's. in this city have in the past failed to implore their patients to improve their sanitary surroundings—to live plain simple lives, which will go a long way in preventing them from becoming the helpless victims of that dreaded disease— tuberculosis— that the M. D's. in the majority of cases utterly fail to inform their patients, as to the true state of affairs at the time the germs are just beginning to fasten themselves upon those whom they trick down dead in a very short time, after being attacked," that like the M. D's. the leading Afro-American Divines on the South side, have moved East of State street, in order to get away from among the great mass of the people, who furnish the money to support them in luxury, that by residing on streets and avnues not frequented by ordinary Colored people, they are not in a position to exert much influence over the great mass of Colored people residing west of State street who are so much in need of the example of right living, which can only be set or taught them by their preachers. They, the Divines are too busy in gathering in dollar and table money to admonish their hearers to improve their sanitary surroundings, and there will be no improvement among the people in this respect as long as they willingly give up so much of their hard earned money to support their preachers in grand style. Within the past few years the following Afro-American Divines on the South side, have moved into one homes of their own, or rented ones East of State street: Rev. D. P. Roberts, pastor of Quinn Chapel besides in a fine home on Vernon Ave., which rents for 25 to 45 dollars per month, and most, of this rent is paid by the poor church members, who also contribute 20 to 30 dollars per week as table money and assist to buy the coal and so on for him. Rev. E. J. Fisher, pastor of Olivet Baptist church, lives on South Park ave., and it is claimed that he receives 20 to 30 dollars per week as table money. Rev. J. F. Thomas, founder and pastor of Ephesus Baptist church moved from Armour ave. last year over onto Vernon ave., and it is fair to assume that he receives no less than 20, to 30, dollars table money per week in order to maintain his family in first class class. Rev. A. J. Carey, pastor of Bethel church, also resides in an elegant home of his own on Vernon ave., and if all members are true 20 to 30 dollars can set aside each week out of the fund rolling into Bethel church, as table money for him and the other members of his family. church, receives a good lump of table money each week, which enables him to live in a fine home on Vernon ave. Rev. Jordan Chavis, pastor on Hermon Baptist church, lives on Vernon ave., and he receives a good sum of table money and other pickings each week which is more than ample to keep him and his family from being carted off to the poor house. Rev. D. A. Graham, and Bishop C. T. Schaffer, when in the city also holds forth on Vernon ave. Rev. T. A. Clark, lives on Forest ave. Rev. G. W. Slater, occupies a nine home of his own on Calumet ave. Rev. J, Madison Mason, who beat us out of two dollars, lived in grand style at 2430 Vernon ave. Thus it will be observed that all the leading Afro-American Divines living on the South side, are residing in a section of the city where they are of no practical benefit to the rank and file composing the Colored race, but if they had continued to live among the members or their own flocks and taken an active interest in everything pertaining to their welfare; using their great influence with the city authorities to see to it that the streets and alleys in the districts wherein the majority of their church members reside were kept clean and paved at the same time imploring or forcing the real estate owners and agents in those districts to improve the sanitary condition of the houses and flats they rent to Colored people, an entirely different story could be written in relation to the onward march of tuberculosis among the Afro-Americans residing in the "Black Belt." No none can successfully deny this one self evident fact namely, that many Colored people reside in the most miserable tumble-down shakes which are not fit for a well-bred dog to live in, in the district referred to and real old women who want to feel sure of their calling and election in heaven, will go out to wash and iron very hard every day in the week or take it in at their poverty stricken homes, and do all kinds of other hard work in order to raise their share of the table and dollar money for their pastor, and to have their names read out in church. This true condition of affairs brings us face to face with the proposition laid down by Dr. W. A. Evans, Commissioners of Health, when he declared recently that "in a large measure it is up to the Colored people themselves to lower the light death in this city among those from suberculoidin." In conclusion there must be a great awakening among the African-American preachers in this city along these lines. They must teach their followers to CHICAGO, MARCH 14, 1908. ALD. WILLIAM T. MAYPOLE. Warm friend of worthy Afro-Americans, who will be re-elected to the City Council from the 14th ward, April 7th. improve their sanitary surroundings, to live plain simple lives, save their money—acquire homes of their own and to become more useful citizens in their respective communities. BATTLING WITH CONSUMPTION. The Illinois state board of health is exerting a widespread influence in connection with the movement against tuberculosis. Some time ago it published a pamphlet on the cause and prevention of consumption which arrested attention and won great commendation on every hand. Health officials in other states began to call for copies, considering it by far the best thing of its kind. Journals dealing with problems of health referred to it as a valuable handbook. Institutions which are trying to cope with the "white plague" sent in requests for copies. As many as 6,000 of the circulars have been asked for by institutions or individuals outside of Illinois. Frequent occasions has been taken of late to commend the work or the Chicago health department. Its activity along common sense lines has won it great praise. It is a matter of congratulation that the state board of health is winning the same sort of favor by its earnest and sensible deavors to improve health conditions in the commonwealth. It will have the hearty support of the people in every effort it puts forth to raise the standard of healthful life among the citizens of Illinois. — The Chicago Tribune, March 10, 1958. The people in all walks of life should secure and read this pamphlet on the cure and the prevention of consumption, for it will be of great benefit to them, and too much credit cannot be given to the Illinois state board of health, and to Dr. W. A. Evans, for the great work they are performing in the way of checking the spread of tuberculosis. While such a reception of a pamphlet cannot but be gratifying to the health authorities of the state, the primary object of the publication is not forgotten. The improvement of conditions in Illinois is sought. Consumption is believed to be a preventable and curable disease. This is the message of hope which is to be seat to every one in Illinois who is afflicted with tuberculosis. The old idea was one of pity for the invalid and regret that he must die. The new battle cry is "Consumption can be cured. Consumption can be prevented." Some idea of the alacrity with which people have turned toward the board of health for relief may be gained from the fact that already the pamphlet, mentioned bears the inscription, "sixth revised edition." But what is needed above all else in the fight against the long-time triumphant foe of humanity is publicity. The sufferers ought to know the dangers of neglect. The healthy ought to know how to keep in such condition. The health officials believe that a long step would be taken toward victory if every family in the state had a copy of the pamphlet. They are ready to send to any and all who apply. The progress which has been made in the campaign all over the world is surprising. Consumption is being attacked as never before. The discouraged note of yesterday is no longer heard. A hopeful tone is noted everywhere. There are no commands to go to same distant place, involving green expense and sacrifice. There are no orders to seek a high priced medical expert. There are no prescriptions of favored formulas to entail, special manufactures. The rule laid down is one of simplification. The most efficient physics is abundance of fresh air. The duty of the state board of health is the easy one of telling the people what they ought to do. Frequent occasions has been taken of late to commend the work or the Chicago health department. Its activity along common sense lines has won it great praise.

HARDY Dangerously Shot in the Arm By His Son-in-law, Angelo Williams, who Also Shot and Killed His Wife, Mrs. Williams. Tuesday morning last, Police Officer John W. Hardy, 1438 W. 9th st., who is well and favorably known in the Town of Lake, was dangerously wounded in the arm by his son-in-law, Angelo Williams, who also shot his wife, Mrs. Williams, at the same time, mortally wounding her. Mrs. Williams and her father were immediately after the shooting removed to the Englewood Union Hospital, where she died Tuesday night from the effects of being shot in the left lung, abdomen and right cheek, and the doctors claim that it will be necessary to amputate Mr. Hardy's right arm in order to save his life. Mrs. Williams, who was still young and beautiful, with one little child, refused to live with her husband any longer, because he failed to properly provide for her and at the same time treating her cruelly. Williams is locked up in jail and should be punished to the fullest extent of the law for his terrible and revolting crime. The program will be as follows: There will be a grand musical recital given by the Standard Literary of Bethesda Baptist church 38th and Wabash ave. Monday evening. March 16, at 8 o'clock. Some of the best musical talent of Chicago will appear. Admission 15 cents. Alderman A. W. Ballinas, who has not only served all the people residing in the 15th ward, well and faithfully, but the entire people of Chicago, since becoming a member of the City Council, should be elected, to that body. THE GRAND FREE BALL OF THE FELLOWSHIP CLUB HAS NOW PASSED INTO HISTORY. A GREAT MANY OF THE MOST PROMINENT MEMBERS OF THE CREAM OF THE FOUR HUNDRED CUT AND FAILED TO RECEIVE INVITATIONS TO IT. MR. AND MRS. MONROE L. MANNING REQUESTED TO WITHDRAW FROM OAKLAND MUSIC HALL ON THE GROUND THAT THEIR INVITATION WAS BOGUS. THEY BEING THE INVITED GUESTS OF DOCTOR M. J. BROWN, HE WITHDREW FROM THE HALL WITH THEM. MUCH BACKBITING AND WAGGING OF TONGUES AMONG THE LEAD ERS OF AFRO-AMERICAN SOCIETY IN CHICAGO. --- It may not be out of place at this time, before touching upon some of the incidents in connection with the Grand Free Ball, which was given last Thursday evening at Oakland Music Hall, by the Fellowship Club, to state that the vast majority of Afro-Americans, from the highest to the lowest, from the most ignorant to the most highly educated, are always dead willing to drink in all the evil, filth and foul sewer water they can, that they are every ready to put a bad or false construction on everything they attempt to read and all the gossip they hear. To illustrate several years ago, one of the prominent Afro-American men in this city, read an article upside down in one of our Colored newspapers, and after doing so he was vain enough to believe that the article in question referred to him, so he had the editor of the paper arrested, and after he had spent four or five hundred dollars as attorneys fees, and had taken the witness stand in his own behalf, and swore that "no one believed he was guilty of doing the things mentioned in the article," he realized that he was barking up the wrong tree, and several other Afro-Americans within the past few years, have ran right up against the same snags in their mad attempts to prevent little "Nigger," newspapers from printing current gossip or things which seem to contain a semblance of the truth. Two or three weeks prior to Thursday day evening, Feb. 20, the members of the Fellowship Club, which is composed of some of the exclusive leaders among the four hundred Afro-Americans in Chicago, began active preparations to hold their Grand Free Ball, which has now passed into history, on the date mentioned before. It may not be true, but it is said that Attorney William L. Martin, David Manson, Dr. J. A. Kelly, George H. Walker and lawyer R. A. J. Shaw, comprised the committee, which finally passed on all the invitations which were sent out in connection with that small function, that on or about Feb. 12, the committee on invitations met at 3155 State street and it is claimed that after they had refused to consider or report on some of the names, which had been handed into it by some of the other members of the club; that they began to chop right and left, and that when they had finished chopping down all the dead ones, that some of the most prominent members of the cream of the four hundred had been ruthlessly cut and slaughtered and utterly failed to receive invitations to it. It seems if all the reports are true that J. Gray and Mrs. Lucas, Dr. A. L. Smith and Dr. M. J. Brown, all joined in presenting the names of No.23 TO FREE OF THE BOWSHIP CLUB STORY. A GREAT MANY OF THE MOST THE CREAM OF THE FOUR HUN- RECEIVE INVITATIONS TO IT. MINING REQUESTED TO WITHDRAW ALL ON THE GROUND THAT THEIR TESTS OF DOCTOR M. J. BROWN, HE LL WITH THEM. ING OF TONGUES AMONG THE LEAD- SOCIETY IN CHICAGO. Mr. and Mrs. Monroe L. Manning, 3524 Calumet ave., as eminently qualified to be honored with an invitation to attend the grand and most exclusive affair, in fact the names of Mr. and Mrs. Manning, so it is said, were on the list sent into the invitational committee by vice-president and Mrs. Lucas, and many of the ladies say that for a long time prior to the ball that "Mrs. Manning whose ladyship, and character are beyond question for she freely mingles with Mrs. George C. Hall, Mrs. E. S. Miller, Mrs. S. A. T. Watkins, Mrs. John R. Marshall, Mrs. William Emanuel, Mrs. J. A. Kelly, and with all the other leaders of the smart set whose husbands can afford to rig them up in fine silks, satins and diamonds, and Mrs. Lucas were mighty warm friends, that they seemed to be deeply in love with each other; that they were always together, that wherever you would see one you would see the other, that they were much closer to each other than two real fat people in a narrow bed. This being true, the members of the smart set were greatly shocked when it was whispered around among them that a coldness had sprang up between Mrs. Lucas, and Mrs. Manning and that they brushed by, almost without speaking, although it is asserted that Mrs. Lucas visited at the home of Mrs. Manning the Saturday before the ball, and Mrs. Manning is willing to sign an affidavit to the effect that on that same Saturday morning, while at her home Mrs. Lucas, informed her that "we had you on our list, but Dr. Brown presented your name and we withdrew it in favor of him. At this point in the fight Dr. M. J. Prown, came to the front, in behalf of Mrs. Manning whom he considered from the start as one of his invited guests, and on Tuesday morning prior to the ball, Mrs. Manning called him up on the phone, and informed him that "up to that time she had failed to recieve her invitation, and that she wanted to know the cause of its long delay." Dr. Brown requested her to rest her soul in peace; that "she would receive it in due time." Shortly after this conversation between them over the wire, Dr. Brown, called up Mr. Martin, and wanted to know why he had failed to send the invitation to Mrs. Manning, Mr. Martin gred back at him in pretty strong language, by exclaiming that he had been informed that "Mrs. Manning had been talking about Mrs. Lucas, saying some real mean things about her, that Mrs. Lucas had withdrawing invitation, striking her name from the list: that Mr. Lucas would deen Continued on Page 2 PUBLISGED WEEKIY. apa ant a end at all tres Ses ie nes Soca =e psoerane SES My ene agua Sobecriptions must be paid in advamon. pet me Creeper os terse | ‘average ate rows co erp. ‘CHE BROAD AX ; - roo Armour Avenne, Chionge. cc:uis ¥ TAYLOn, Waiter and Pubiteber. “Entered as Second-Class Matter; ‘Aug. 19, 1902 at ‘the Post Office at Chicago, Hlinois, under Act of March 3, 1879. sieciaimeeienen mer ee THE FELLOWSHIP BALL! ?

Within a very short time after the arrival of the policeman Mrs. Man- ning, who conducted herself like a perfect lady, and who at that time Was occupying a seat in one of the boxes with Mrs. E. S.

And to their everlasting shame none of the ladies present who had im the past freely partaken of the generous hosiptajities of Mrs. Man- ning, had the moral courage to raise their voices in her behalf, and to declare. that if “she must leave we will follow;” first-class white Jadies and gentlemen love justice to such an jextent that they never would have permitted one of those belonging to | nets own set to be treated in such @ bruta], manner; but come to think lot it, the words “right and justice” jare foreign to, the majority ot nrst- jelass Colored ladies and gentlemen. | The following are the officers and ;members of the Fellowship Club: Dr. George C.

Senator Clay of Georgia is one of the tallest men in the senate, and his hair, worn standing straight up, makes him appear at least two inches taller than he is. Frederick Wheeler, a capitalist of Los Angeles, Cal., is being talked of for nomination for the presidency by the Prohibition national convention at Columbus, O., next July. Dr. James A. Craig, professor of Semitic languages at Ann Arbor, invented a system of shorthand when a student at McGill university. He has used it constantly for thirty years. Hiram Martin of Reading, Pa., with pocketknife made two miniature boats, one a steamer and the other a canoeat, each nearly four feet long, and one year was devoted to the task during spare moments. Although he is several years past the ordinary retiring age, Admiral Dewey, the highest officer in our navy, still remains in active service. The age limit does not apply to him because he received the formal thanks of congress on account of his victory in the Philippines. He is still one of the most efficient of workers. Professor John Bassett Moore, who became world famous for his knowledge of international law and has been holding the chair of professor of international law at Columbia university, New York city, has been compelled to temporarily retire from his duties because of an affection of the eyes. Professor Moore is a native of Delaware. Plays and Players. Cyril Scott, now starring in "The Prince Chap," is an excellent cross country rider. Herman and Hans Schumann-Heink, the sons of the great singer, are studying for grand opera. John E. Henshaw and his wife, May Ten Broeck, have a new musical comedy with a real plot called "The Hummers." It is now announced that in the spring Josephine Cohan will return to her brother's company as leading woman, and it will be once more "the four Cohans." Grace Elliston has been engaged to support Dustin Farnum when he appears in "The Rector's Garden." Miss Elliston created the role of Shirley Rossmore in "The Lion and the Mouse." The Cookbook. A little currant jelly beaten into the cake or pudding frosting will add greatly to its appearance and taste. String beans which can be bought throughout the winter are often wilted, and when this happens the beans should be soaked in cold water for several hours, when they will appear quite fresh and crisp. A cup of chocolate is much improved by a dash of cinnamon or by adding a third of a pint of coffee to each pint of milk. Very rich chocolate may be made by pouring a quart over the yolks of two eggs, beating constantly to prevent curdling. Some prefer a few drops or vanilla either in the whipped cream or chocolate. English Etchings. England has 192 prisons. Three hundred English fishermen are drowned every year—nearly nine in 1,000 of those engaged. The city of London possesses a rate collector named White who has held office for just seventy years and is now rapidly approaching his fivecore years. A cabinetmaker, George Murr, who has died at Grantham, England, at the age of seventy-eight, was employed by the same firm for sixty-seven years. He not only worked in the same shop, but actually at the same bench. Murr took the only holiday of his life twenty-six years ago. Tales They Tell. An old woman in Hannibal, Mo., recently used a railroad ticket bought twenty-five years ago. A he owned by W. C. Cushman farmer living near Leeds, Ala., said an ag on which were "V. R. G. '08."

Astonishingly few superlative antiquies are left in the country that wore them. Except the one in the Palace of the Forty Pillars in Ispahan there seems to be none remaining of the essentially Persian types of the sixteenth century. The crusaders brought away the best of the eleventh century. You may see them in early Venetian, Flemish and Dutch paintings of palace interiors. At this day New York has more good rugs than Constantinople or Ispahan. Last year Robert Levy, a dealer, and R. S. Pardow of the Muse Orientale, both of Constantinople, came here for rugs. A Teheran, of which the center is now being used as a model for drawing in American public schools, is valued at $25,000. A Stanford White Hispano-Ispahan—made in Spain by Mohammed conquerors who founded the caliphate of Cordova—auctioned last year on Fifth avenue for $4,000. Frederick Ames has gathered a lot. It was he who gave to the Boston museum its hunting rug, the like of which auctioned later for $35,000. While studying oriental gypsies A. T. Sinclair collected an odd hundred rugs, Sidney Colvin, Myron J. Bird and Mr. Allis own excellent examples. J. Pierpont Morgan has in his London house $100,000 worth of rugs, which he no doubt will bring here when the tariff permits. The Yerkes collection is one of the finest in the world. It is a Bagdad of a sort limited in number, so far as is known, to four. One is in the Lyons museum, and two are in possession of noble European families. Yerkes also got the two Susanhards found with the Ardebll of the South Kensington museum. All three once could have been had for $700. The South Kensington museum paid $12,500 for the Ardebll. I don't know what Yerkes paid Vincent Robinson for the other two. It's a curious fact that one of the Yerkes rugs has the border of the Ardebll, while the Ardebll itself has a Farahan border. The Benquait collection, which you may see on Fifth avenue, is valued at $1,000,000. Several rarities were dispersed at the Marquand sale. H. O. Havenmeyer left some well known Chinese pieces. Senator Clark has eight of different weavers which cost him $200,000, and the other day Henry Clay Frick paid $150,000 for six antiques. Throughout the country are scattered countless numbers, their value unsuspected by their possessors.—Franklin Clark in Everybody's Magazine. Bourget and Germany. Paul Bourget's attack on Germany and Germans has aroused much criticism not only in German newspapers, but in the papers where he expected to receive support. The Paris Revue says that Bourget's words arouse only painful sensations. "When he speaks of the venom of the miserable Kant and of the musical misdeeds of Wagner, he harms himself only and does nothing to lessen the fame of these men of genius. France smiles at the assertion that she is under obligations to Germany for nothing, for it is well known and has been proudly proclaimed by Bourget that his maternal ancestors came from Alsatia and originally from Germany. If for nothing else, France is indebted to Germany, then, for Bourget." Pigs' Bathrooms. "And this is the pigs' bathroom?" said the twentieth century farmer. "I have heard of hog wash, but I didn't know pigs bathed. Do they? didn't know pigs bathed. Do the "Yes, the modern pigs bathe," he said. "With squeals of rage and disgust he tumbles once a week into a hot bath and is thoroughly scrubbed with stiff brushes dipped into strong soft soap. This cleanliness keeps him always well, and it increases his weight 20 per cent. "All our agricultural colleges now advise the pig to bathe. By experiments they continually show that baths cause him to fatten a fifth better. The pigs' bathroom is a feature of the twentieth century farm."—Cinchnati Enquirer. Love and Tattooing. The tattooing craze was the rage among the smart set in London at the time of the South African war. It is now the rage in the slums among the humbler classes, especially girls, who pay threepence for the operation. A tattooer tells the London Sphere that this business thrives on love. A girl came into his studio the other day and had "I love Jim Curly" tattoed on her arm. About 5:30 the next morning the girl knocked at his door and, on being remonstrated with, said: "I don't care if yer charges me 5 stilin's. 'Ere, I'm the lady I like, I crocodmed, baring the tattooed arm." BT. Blooming the Patent Office It is undoubtedly a fact that an American will take out a patent on less provocation than any other man or woman in the world. As a consequence the patent office is piling up a swollen fortune, which makes it a bloated bond-holder among the government departments. It has the will to emblaze 66,000,000 and is growing richer every day. Yankee ingenuity is gorging the patent office with records and piling up懒洋洋 the hundred thousand. IN LEAP YEAR. He loves me! He loves me not! The wind blows cold, the wind blows hot. I watch his lips, his eyes and nose And wonder if I dare propose. I wonder if he answer "Yes" And seal it with a warm caress. Or would he tell me to see mother Or volunteer to be my brether? Last night I took Jack unawares And kissed him. We were on the stairs. Of course he struggled and was fussed Because his nice mustache was mussed. But in his agonized eye the while I saw the portent of a small The pardon of the robber bold Before the booty had grown cold. He always gladly wears my flowers And lets me call and stay for hours, And when, at last, I rise to go He'll say, "Why do you hurry so?" And every day I think I'll speak. But put it off from week to week And watch his lips and eyes and nose And wonder if I dare propose. —Paul C. Willard in Judge. Country Yokel (to motorist)—Coward! Forty to one.—Pele Mele. Reserved For a Purpose. A certain Kentucky justice of the peace was called upon to marry a runaway couple who drove up to his house. When the final words were said the bridegroom fumbled in his pockets and finally fished out a silver dollar. "Jedge," said he, "this here's all the cash I've got in the world. If you wants it, you kin have it. But I don't mind tellin' you that I set it aside for the honeymoon expenses."—Woman's Home Companion. Ignorant Woman. "This thermometer," complained the old lady, "ain't no good. I can never tell by it how cold the room is." "My dear madam," said the rascally dealer, with a pitying air, "do you not know the word 'thermometer' is derived from two Greek words meaning 'a measure of heat?' Naturally, therefore, it isn't meant to measure cold."—Catholic Standard and Times. Hard to Weather It. Inquiring Friend—So your last play was a failure.

The Doc Gives a Little Lesson In Natural History. "There used to be an eccentric old character in our neighborhood," said a planner from one of the upper parishes, "who went by the name of Doc Johnson. He had never been forty miles from the settlement in his life, and was barely able to read and write, but he was naturally a sort of Jack of all trades, and somehow or other he acquired a tremendous reputation for sagacity. "Whenever an argument arose among the country folks Doc Johnson was pretty certain to be called in to decide it, and as he would rather have died than to have admitted ignorance on any subject some of his statements of fact were amazing in the extreme. "One day a farmer in the vicinity received a letter from his son, who had moved up to Iowa, saying, among other things, that the corn crop was looking bad and the country was being overrun by immigrants. The last word stumped the old man, and after puzzling in vain over its meaning he happened to see Doc and called him in. Johnson knew from the peculiar warmth of his greeting that he was going to be asked to solve some knotty problem and at once assumed the wisest air. "Doc," said the farmer, pointing to the mysterious passage in the letter, "what in thunder does that boy mean by immigrants? What air they like, anyhow? "Johnson spelled through the paragraph and, noting the reference to the bad corn crop, began rapidly to put two and two together. "Immygrants!" he exclaimed to gain time. 'Why, I thought everybody knew what they was!' "Air they critters?' asked the farmer cautiously. "They is,' replied the Doc, 'a kind of a cross between a possum and a coon, and I'll tell you what,' he added impressively—they're just simply death on corn.'"—New Orleans Times-Democrat A Difficult Trick: When the new trolley line first ran through the little town it was regarded with umlonged pride, admiration and fear, for many of the townsfolk stood in awe of the mysterious powers of the electric current. "Would I get a shock if I put my foot on that rail?" queried a nervous old lady after hovering on one side of the road, not quite daring to attempt the dangerous crossing. "No, madam," answered the polite conductor, "not unless you put your other foot on the trolley wire."—Woman® Home Companion. Only Human. Harvey—You should have seen Hot ayre swell up at that mind reading seance the other night when the blind folded lady actually told him the number of his automobile. Beattie—But he has no auto. Harvey—Of course not. But he looked astounded and acknowledged she was right—Puck. Another Argument "What do you regard as the most important thing in favor of the theory that Mars is inhabited?" "The fact," answered the popular scientist, "that an article assuming that side of the question can be made three times as readable as one taking the opposite view."—Washington Star. A Costly Fall. "She appears to have fallen in love with him." "Oh, yes, some time ago. But now she's suing him for breach of promise." "Counting upon getting damages for the fall, eh?"-Philadelphia Press. "Don't you think my daughter sang with great feeling at the musicie last night?" "Yes. I noticed that she sang only two of the four verses of the song." Chicago Record-Herald.
