EVERY APO-AMERICAN TRAVELER CLASS TICKETS SHOULD ARM WHENEVER THE RAILROAD THEM IN THEIR RIGHTS AS SHOULD BLAZE AWAY AT THE ATTEMPT TO EJECT THEM PR No one within recent years in this country has excelled Col. Theodore Roosevelt in slinging mud and in raising old satan in general with all those who failed to agree with him in everything. This was all well and good and it worked fine just as long as no one attempted to back back and sling mud at him, finally he went out of his way last year to heap personal abuse on a regular Republican candidate for congress in the remote part of Michigan and George A. Newett, editor of the Iron Ore, of Ishpeming, Michigan being the warm friend of the Republican candidate for congress in question, began to throw some mud at Col. Roosevelt through the columns of his little weekly newspaper which has about three thousand readers in that section of the country. Two weeks had not passed away from the time that Editor Newett started in to heave a little mud at Col. Roosevelt, before he rushed into the courts at Marquette, Michigan and instituted suit against Editor Newett for libel, asking for ten thousand dollars in damages at the end of the trial last week. Presiding Judge Richard C. Flannigan instructed the jury to return a light verdict in favor of Col. Roosevelt which was for six cents. Editor Newett being unable to clearly prove beyond a reasonable doubt as he had contended, namely that Col. Roosevelt tanked up so strong and so often on real or straight whiskey that he became "Drunk". Editor Newett declared on the witness stand that Col. Roosevelt at no time requested him to retract his statement in reference to his ability to punish a lot of whiskey as the Libel Law of Michigan requires on the contrary, he rushed at him in the courts like a wild or an untamed African lion and the result was that Editor Newett was forced to defend himself and attempt to prove that the statements made by him in that respect were true. He declared in__traveling over the country he had found any number of high minded, first class business men who were more than dead willing to take the witness stand and sware that on many public occasions when they beheld Col. Roosevelt, that he looked and acted like a drunken man, but that in all of his travels while hunting for evidence against him along this line he had failed to find one upright citizen who was willing to mount the witness stand and swear that he had caught or had ever detected Col. Roosevelt in the act of storing the strong wines and whiskey up within himself for safe keeping. Editor Newett further declared that he never tasted wines or liquors nor used tobacco in any form and that he did not entertain the slightest desire to do any one an injustice, that he did not entertain one particle of malice against Col. Roosevelt, therefore from henceforth he would refrain from contending through the columns of his newspaper that Col. Roosevelt used wines and liquors to excess. Col. Roosevelt met Editor Newett half way after he had ran up the white flag; at that point in the court proceedings, Col. Roosevelt, was given permission to speak in open court, and in doing so, he stated that he was not seeking money in his libel suit; that he simply wanted to be vindicated, once and for all time to come, against the charge of drunkenness on his part; then the curtain was rung down on the court scenes and his celebrated libel suit with his well coached stage settings, came to an end. Each side in the libel litigation had to stand their own expenses in connection with the trial which amounted to many thousands of dollars. From this on Col. Roosevelt should be more circumspect himself in referring to his fellow citizens in his public utterances; for during his third term campaign, for the presidency of the United States, in 1912, the former rough riding president conducted a campaign of mud slinging, personal abuse and vilification and he branded everybody as liars, rascals, thieves and secondrades who failed to fall down on their hands and knees and worship him, as the overpowering and head ruler of the entire world including Africa and Japan. It seems, however, that whenever anyone is brave enough to strike back at Col. Roosevelt and to administer to him a strong dose of his own medicine, A. then he ducks for the courts. So after all, with him it all depends upon whose ox is gored. No other newspaper in Chicago outside of The Broad Ax, received a special telegram from New Orleans, La., pertaining to the true facts in relation to the attempted assault on S. W. Green, Grand Supreme Chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias, throughout the world, while he was traveling on a Pullman car, on official business in connection with his order through Florida. He was traveling on first class tickets. One paper in this city which employs more than a thousand reporters, who are every place at the same time, painfully admitted that it was unable to receive any response to the many telegrams which it had sent to New Orleans to ascertain the facts in this respect. Then it proceeded to hash up a blood and thunder story, respecting the mobbing and the lynching of Mr. Green, which later on turned out to be a huge joke. ness. Second, the dealer must be taught to observe the same methods, to keep his milk cool and to deliver it to the consumer in as good condition as he gets it from the farmer. Third, the consumers themselves or many of them, at least, must be taught that milk spoils quickly; that it must be kept at a temperature of not more than fifty degrees; that when poured into vessels for use they must be clean, that the bottles containing the milk must not be left open and must always be kept on the ice until their contents are used. So, it will be seen that it requires knowledge, intelligence and education all along the line in order that the milk be clean and safe all the time. Does that back yard of yours look clean and nice? Did you clean it up this Spring? Are you intending to keep it clean this summer? If you had company coming, would you take your visitors out and ask them to see how clean, tidy and attractive your back yard looks? If you are ashamed Every brave Afro-American traveling through the southern states, on first class railroad tickets, should arm themselves to the teeth and whenever the railroad companies fail or refuse to protect them in their rights as interstate passengers, then they should blaze away at those who make the slightest attempt to eject them from the trains. HEALTH NOTES Parks and playgrounds do not feed our penitentiaries. Give the boys a playground and they will not be so apt to seek the pool room. Besides, both the moral and physical atmosphere of the park or playground is healthful and invigorating for their minds and bodies. One of the most important things in a city's life is the proper care and conservation of the health and physical safety of its people. And a mighty big factor in protecting the public health is good, fresh air, lots of sunshine and a reasonable amount of elbow room. The requirements for a clean milk supply are very simple and yet despite this fact are difficult of attainment. They are as follows: Clean, healthy cows, clean methods in dairying, rapid transportation of a chilled product and cleanly conditions thereafter until final use by the consumer. The entire process is one of education all along the line. First, the dairy farmer must be educated to the importance of producing a clean, safe milk; and then he must, as a rule, be taught how to attain the highest standards of cleanl- ness. Second, the dealer must be taught to observe the same methods, to keep his milk cool and to deliver it to the consumer in as good condition as he gets it from the farmer. Third, the consumers themselves or many of them, at least, must be taught that milk spoils quickly; that it must be kept at a temperature of not more than fifty degrees; that when poured into vessels for use they must be clean, that the bottles containing the milk must not be left open and must always be kept on the ice until their contents are used. So, it will be seen that it requires knowledge, intelligence and education all along the line in order that the milk be clean and safe all the time. --- Does that back yard of yours look clean and nice? Did you clean it up this Spring? Are you intending to keep it clean this summer? If you had company coming, would you take your visitors out and ask them to see how clean, tidy and attractive your back yard looks? If you are ashamed of the outlook from your kitchen door, the chances are that you have not done your full share towards making your surroundings as clean, tidy and beautiful as they should be. Remember that it means work and vigilance to maintain good community conditions, while bad community conditions flourish, grow, thrive, increase and multiply, if only we are indifferent and give them a chance. It seems to be a law of nature that the things in this world that are worth having cost money, time and labor. Weeds grow everywhere without care or culture; flowers and lawns must be kept and cared for; must be tended and nursed, watered and cultivated or they will not grow at all. And so it is all along the line; the things in this world that mean most for our comfort and physical well being do not come to us without effort on our part. In other words, we must work for and earn the good things of this life, or be willing to go without them. But is there any doubt about the rewards being big for the small amount of work bestowed? We think not. Hampton, Va.—Rev. George T. Scott, associate chapla'n at Hampton Institute, preached the baccalaureate sermon to the Hampton graduating classes. "By their fruits ye shall know them." This was Mr. Scott's text. His theme was the Senior motto, "Let deeds prove." He urged persistent and unselfish service to men. In the annual competitive drill for United States District Judge George A. Carpenter Has Passed Sentence On JACK JOHNSON THE HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMPION PRIZE FIGHTER OF THE WORLD HE MUST PAY $1,000 FINE AND SERVE ONE YEAR AND ONE DAY IN THE PENITENTIARY AT JOLIET, ILL. JUDGE CARPENTER WAS MORE THAN EXTREMELY FAIR IN DEALING OUT JUSTICE TO THE BIG FIGHTER WHO HAS THE HONOR OF BEING THE FIRST COLORED GENTLEMAN IN THE UNITED STATES TO BE ENTERTAINED AS ONE OF THE GUESTS AT THE FAMOUS EVERLEIGH SISTERS CLUB. THE BIG FELLOW HAS TWO WEEKS GRACE TO PERFECT HIS APPEAL TO THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. IN THE MEAN TIME HE WILL STILL BE PERMITTED TO RACE HIS BIG TOURING MACHINE THROUGH THE STREETS AT BREAK NECK SPEED ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF MEN, WOMEN AND LITTLE CHILDREN. AND THE POLICE AUTHORITIES SEEM TO BE UNABLE TO STOP OR PREVENT HIM. Jack Johnson again went down before the count of nine on Wednesday before Judge George A. Carpenter in the United States District Court, when he was fined one thousand dollars and sentenced to serve one year and one day in the penitentiary at Joliet, Illinois, for violating the Mann White Slave Act being convicted under that act several weeks ago, for bringing Miss Belle Schreiber, at one time a first-class White Lady but for some years she has been one of the many soiled doves, from Pittsburgh, Pa., to Chicago, where Mr. Johnson after sending her seventy-five dollars for her railroad fare established her in a finely furnished flat in the old Ridgewood Apartment Building, 28th and Wabash ave., which it is claimed that she conducted for immoral purposes, Miss Schreiber admitted on the witness stand that she worked Mr. Johnson out of all the furnishings for her flat the rent money and ten thousand dollars on the side; that he is a dead easy mark; that any White Lady can more than successfully cause him to part with all kinds of real money if she simply smiles at him and there all kinds of Ladies in this world who are ever ready and willing to hug, kiss and make love to any kind of a man no matter how black and brutal he may be, as long as they can rake in the money and this has been openly proven, for at all times there are any number of White Ladies who are just crazy to associate with Mr. Johnson as long as they can separate him from his bank roll. Judge Carpenter was more than extremely fair in dealing out justice to the heavy weight champion prize fighter of the world, who has the distinguished honor of being the first and only Colored gentleman in the United States to be entertained as one of the guests at the famous Everleigh sisters club, when it was running in full blast at 2121 Dearborn street and it is claimed by one who generally knows what he is talking about that on that occasion Mr. Johnson-fashed up and blew in well onto two thousand dollars in order to be for a short time on a social equality with the White Ladies and gentlemen who frequented that high toned club. the Winston Cup, a silver trophy or iginally given to Hampton by Maj Thomas W. Winston, U. S. A., the prize was won by the company commanded by Bishop Brown, of Cuthbert, Ga. The judges were Captain H. T. Matthews and Captain B. I. McKinney, both of Fortress Monroe. Interesting and exciting boat races in navy gigs were rowed on Hampton River. A silver cup was presented to the Junior Middler crew representing the Hampton Day School. The annual band concert, under the direction of Professor William M. O. Tessmann, included classical and popular music. Class-Day exercises were held by the Agriculture, Business, Trade, and Academic classes. The Hampton certificates were presented by Dr. George P. No.36 In passing sentence on the big fellow Judge Carpenter who was friendly to him in his rulings throughout his trial, asked him if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed on him? and in a very low shaky voice Mr. Johnson answered no sir. Judge Carpenter then addressed himself to the defendant. "It is hard to determine what punishment should be made in your case," "We have had a number of cases of violation of the Mann act and in only two of them were fines assessed. "Life Not Moral One." "The circumstances in this case have been aggravating. The life of the defendant by his own admissions has not been at all a moral one. "The defendant is one of the best known men of his race and his example has been far reaching. The court is bound to take these facts into consideration in determining the sentence to be imposed. In this case the defendant shall be confined one year and one day in Joliet penitentiary and pay a fine of $1,000." At the same time the court gave Mr. Johnson two weeks grace to perfect his appeal to the United States Supreme Court and he will still be at liberty on his $20,000 bond. Mr. Johnson and his friends should feel that he is a lucky dog even if he should finally be compelled to serve one year in the Pen. at Joliet at hard labor, for Judge Carpenter had the right and the power to send him to prison for thirty years and to fine him $60,000, under the Mann Act. In the mean time, or pending the outcome of his trial, in the highest court of the land; Mr. Johnson, who for some cause or other, continues to permit himself, to become a regular public pest; will be allowed to race through the streets of Chicago, in his big touring car, at break neck speed, endangering the lives of men, women and little children, and the police authorities seem to be unable to cheek or stop him in his mad and reckless career. It would be well indeed, for the Colored people of Chicago, in every way, if Mr. Johnson, should decide to establish his residence in some other city.

Illinois under Act of March 8, 1870. FRANK P. GEORGE AND THE ELEVENTH EDITION OF HIS DANABEGAY AT OAKLAND MUSIC HALL WAS A FLATTERING SUCCESS. Last Thursday evening, Frank P. George, who has striven for a number of years to dish up something worth seeing twice a year—something that will tickle the fancy of those who appreciate high class music and rare dramatic talent and the eleventh edition of his more than famous Danabegay, held forth at Oakland Music Hall, 40th Street and Cottage Grove avenue; and long before the curtain went up and before his Invincible Celebrities made their bow before the footlights, the hall was crowded to its fullest capacity and all in all it was the best show or entertainment so far staged by Mr. George. The following program was artistically and delightfully rendered by his invincible celebrities: Selection, Wilson's Orchestra. 1 (a) Piano—Waltz L'irresistible, Beenee. (b) Forest Airs, Beenee, Miss Bianche Logan. 2 (a) Song—Isle D'Amoure, Ed- wards. (b) Love in a Cottage is Best, Cook, Miss Rena Blunt. 3 (a) Song—Arioso "Pagliacei", Leconcavallo. (b) Creole Love Song, Smith, Mr. Opal Cooper. 4 (a) Song—In May-Time, Buck, (b) "Roses After Rain", Lehmann, Mme. Marie P. Merrill. 5 Duet—Miserere "II Tovatore", Verdi, Mme. Marie Burton-Hyram, Mr. George Garner, Jr. 6 (a) Song—Il Balen Del Suor Sorriso Italian Version, Verdi. (b) 'Taint No Use in Cryin', Buchanan, Mr. Hugh Buchanan. 7 (a) Violin—Concerto (first movement), Mozart. (b) Old Black Joe, Farmer S. Ambrosio, Miss Sinclaire White. 8 (a) Song—Lark's Song, Terry. (b) The Awakening, Johnson, Mme. Marie Burton-Hyram. 9 Duet—Behold the Hill Tops All Aglow, Buck, Mme. Marie P. Merrill, Mr. George Garner, Jr. 10. Dramatic—The Uncle, H. C. Bell, Mr. Frank P. George. 11 Finale—My Hero "Chocolate Soldier", Danabegay Celebrities, Miss Marion E. Garner, Accompanist. Bare talent was displayed by Madame Marie P. Merrill, who was a new star to many of those composing the large audience. She sang "Roses after Rain", in a clear voice and made the highest notes with the greatest of ease. She possesses a rich and mellow or musical voice, which is very pleasing to the ear. Madame Marie Burton-Hyrum, and Mr. George Garner, Jr., were exceedingly fine, in their several parts. Mr. Hugh Buchanan, was at his best and he sang one of his own compositions "Taint no use in Cryin'" with much effect and was heartily applauded. Miss Sinelaire White, who has delighted vast assemblages of people in many parts of this country, by her wonderful and almost matchless performance on the violin, was the center of attraction and after rendering "Old Black Joe" she was called back three times before the audience, to render other selections. Frank P. George, as the "Uncle" wound up the dramatic end of the show, and in doing so he displayed rare dramatic talent which unquestionably places him on a level and we might say far in advance of the great majority of the Afro-American actors in this country. He performed his part well; each and every one taking part on the program, received large and beautiful bouquets. Dancing followed the set program, which was indulged in, by a large number of social lights in this city. The following persons ably aided Mr. George in producing his very best and most talented "Danabegay": The Executive Staff, Marion - E. Garner, Musical Director; Sam Fielding, Manager in Advance; William J. Kelley, Manager of Interior; Robert Fisher, Superviser of Finance; William Able, Stage Manager. Beneficiary: Phillis Wheatly Home for Working Girls. The Ushera, Miss Ferrie Lewis, Miss Jeanette Triplett, Miss Thelma Alexander, Miss Vetolia Hayes, Miss Noamah Bunn, Miss Fairfax Butler, Miss Ethel Minor, Miss Katie Fowler. The pastor prescheduled from the text St. Luke, 22:69. "Hereafter shall the son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God," subject, "Hereafter." He prescheduled in the evening from Proverbs 1:7. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instruction" subject, "Christian life." Both sermons were earnest and forceful. Four joined the church. Mr. J. A. Washington sang a solo in the morning. Mr. Frank Hill sang in the evening both solos were beautifully rendered. The Bazaar last week was fairly successful. Friday evening - being the banner evening as the mortgage was burned that evening and once more we are worshiping under our own vine and fig-free.

"An obnoxious Diet" was the subject of an excellent sermon preached by Rev. L. M. Fenwick, M. D. at the Institutional Church Sunday morning. A few Sabbaths ago Dr. Fenwick treated the audience to an interesting discourse on Hygiene and Sanitation from the text "Set thine house in order." Last Sabbath he again brought to bear his knowledge as a physician and showed how foods effect body, mind and spirit. By many this was pronounced one of the best sermons they've ever heard the good Doctor preach. Two persons united with the church at the close of the sermon. At the evening worship Dr. Caray preached upon "The Miracle at Bethesda." Many new and beautiful lessons were presented and with telling effect. Four persons united with the church—one of whom was happily converted at the altar. Thus giving six accessions for the day as follows: Mrs. Rosalie McConnell, Mrs. Margaret Powler, Mrs. Fannie Lee, Mrs. Mattie Belle Klick, Mr. Geo. W. Jones and Mr. J. W. Mackay.

The lovely but wealthy girl was so surprised at the declaration of love and offer of marriage from the impacuous but nervy young man that she could think of no more sulphitic reply than the recently shelfworn: "I-I'll be a sister to you!" "Thank you," answered the suitor promptly. "Will you repeat that before witnesses?" "Why?" "Never mind why. You say you will be a sister to me. If there is no other witness in the house summon your father. I demand it. In fact, I should prefer to have him hear it." Papa was summoned, and the young man continued: "I proposed for your daughter's hand. She refused me. But she promised to be a sister to me. I am now a member of the family. Leave me out of your will at your peril. Good night!" Later he became a member of the firm.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Queries. Your loins you gird; Then they are wirt. Your thoughts you word.

"Brown convinced me that I wasn't appreciated by my employer, that I ought to be getting more money and that I could easily get more money if I went after it. "He induced me to resign and go where I would receive the consideration my ability entitled me to." "Where is the sharp practice in that?" "As, soon as I resigned he went around to my old employer and got the job I had vacated. And I am still looking for employment and appreciation." —Detroit Free Press. An Invocation. O fading day!

King He-Me-Hah, one of the early rulers of Egypt, we are assured by a Pennsylvania university professor, had 800 wives. Shark Worship In Hawaii The shark has been perhaps the most universally worshiped of all the Hawaiian animal gods. Strange as it may seem, the islanders formerly regarded the shark as being the friend and protector of all those who pay him devout attention. Each locality along the coast of the main islands of the Hawaiian group formerly had its patron shark, whose name, place of abode, history, etc., were all well known to his superstitions worshipers. Molecules. In a drop of water there are about 2,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules. If one of these molecules were magnified till it appeared twenty feet in diameter the atoms of which it is composed would look like floating specks of dust. And each atom is like a solar system.

New York Legislature Appropriates $25,000 For Emancipation Celebration. New York—Governor William Sulzer has signed the Carswell bill appropriating $25,000 for an exhibition and celebration commemorating the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipation proclamation. The bill was drawn by Summer H. Lark, editor of the Brooklyn Eye, and presented by Senator Carswell of Kings, county, who granted every opportunity to Mr. Lark and his associates to get the measure through before the adjournment of the legislature. Governor Sulzer showed his interest in the matter in an unusually friendly manner by issuing an emergency order so that the matter might receive consideration in ample time for legislative action. The full text of the bill as passed and signed by the governor is as follows: An act to provide for an exhibition and celebration in New York city to commemorate the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipation proclamation, creating a commission to conduct the same and making an appropriation therefor. The people of the state of New York, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows: Section 1.

Sec. 3 The members of the commission shall receive no compensation for their services, but shall be entitled to the actual necessary expenses incurred while in discharge of duties imposed upon them by the commission. Such members may apply for compensation for all services to be performed in carrying out the provisions of this act, and the commission may also provide for such director, organizers and clerical assistance and office facilities as it deems necessary, but no salaries or expenses shall be incurred for a longer period than ninety days after the close of the exhibition.

Such money shall be paid by the treasurer on the warrant of the comproller issued upon a requisition signed by the treasurer and vice chairman of the commission. Within ninety days after the close of the exhibition such commission shall make a verified report to the comptroller of the disbursements made by it and shall return to the state treasury the unexpended balance of money drawn in pursuance of this act. No indebtedness or obligations shall be incurred under this excess of the appropriations herein made. Sec. 5. This act shall take effect immediately.

The principal aim of the Negro Society For Historical Research is to instruct the race and inspire love and veneration for its men and women who have achieved distinction by their efforts. The society was organized April 18, 1911, in Yonkers. New York, where it maintains headquarters at Sunny Slope cottage. John Edward Bruce, the well known newspaper correspondent, is president of the society. The library contains a collection of over 200 books of rare value. Phillis Wheatley's poems, published in London in 1773; Frederick Douglass' autobiography, published in 1845; Blyden's "Liberia's Offering." W. C. Nell's "Colored Patriots of the American Revolution." "William Wells Brown's "Clotel," "Narrative of a Fugitive Slave" and Paul Dunbart's poems are among the many books of great value. Annual Meeting of Medical Association. The annual meeting of the National Medical association will be held in Nashville, Tenn., in August. The organization is increasing in membership very rapidly, due at the present time largely to the host of young men graduates from the various medical schools throughout the country. The committee in charge of arrangements for entertaining the delegates and visitors is hard at work, and the indications are that the attendance at the coming session will be quite large. Dr. C. V. Roman, editor of the National Medical Journal, is creating much favorable sentiment for the meeting through the Journal. New Industrial Training School. Pennsylvania has granted a charter for the incorporation of the Isaac Randall Industrial Training School of Afro-Americans. The institution will be located in Sallisbury township, Lancaster county. The purpose of the school is to give the colored boys and girls a fair opportunity along industrial lines. The movement is backed by wealthy white capitalists. H. B. Rest heads the list of incorporators. "A nice young couple in our crowd was married this summer," relates a nice young fellow in the same crowd, "and when they got back from their honeymoon they went to housekeeping in a certain apartment house in the east end. They had one servant, a little girl whose mother used to do the washing for her folks and who therefore knew all about them and came cheap and willing. Well, I went to call on them the other evening. The little maid met me at the door. She had known me when I called on the girl before she was married, so she smiled when she noticed who I was. But I was very polite. "Are Mr. and Mrs. Smith at home? I asked. "Yes, Mr. Brown,' she said. "Are they engaged at present? "Why, Mr. Brown,' cried the little girl, blushing, 'they're married!"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Everybody's Doing It. Everyone's striking For this or for that, And 'tis quite the fashion For strikes to stand pat. Tis labor strike, ballot strike, Hunger strike, too. With school strike now added— Oh, what a to-do! The women are striking Because they can't vote. They strike against eating To make folks take note. The schoolboys are striking Because they must work And some of their lessons Would willingly shirk. Well, dear heaven, help us! Perhaps hens will next Start strikes against laying And cows will get vexed And strike against milking. Twill go on down the pike Until all creation "Real Dressy."

"Why, I thinks 'they looks lovely,' she said. "I like them on little children. I think they're real dressy."—Harper's Bazar. They say you rise at four o'clock And charge upon the weeds.

"Sambo," said the owner of a country place to his gardener, "concerning that tree I wanted you to cut down, my wife thinks it had better be allowed to stand." "Well, Ah think it ought ter come down, Massa Brown," was the reply. "What are your reasons for thinking so, Sambo?"

OLD NORTH STATE BAPTIST MEET Annual Convention of Influential Religious Body Attended by Delegates and Visitors From All Sections of the State—Interesting Career of Moderator George D. Griffin. Elizabeth City, N. C.—The recent annual meeting of the Roanoke Baptist association held near this city was attended by upward of a thousand delegates and visitors from most every section of the state. The reports from the churches and other organized branches of work connected with the association were highly encouraging. The report on the work of the Roanoke Collegiate institute, which is under the fostering care of the association, was a special feature. This school is doing a great work. Under the leadership of the Rev. G. D. Griffin, B. Th., the association is doing splendid work for education and missions. Dr. Griffin, moderator of the Ranoke Baptist association, is one of the best prepared and most aggressive young ministers the denomination has in this state. He was born-in Pasquotank county, N. C., of humble parentage about forty-one years ago and received the rudiments of his early education in the county schools. The Griffin family consisted of father and mother and thirteen children, all of whom are doing some good work. Like most men who follow preaching, the highest calling, Rev. E. H. Griffin, A. B. REV. G. D. GRIPFIN. B. TH. father of this large family, was away from home much of the time; hence young George did not receive much of his training from his father, but he had a devoted Christian mother, who directed his life until she had got him beyond the danger line and started him for the successful life which he is now spending for the good of others. It is said that this young moderator of such a large body of Baptists was always settled and plaus and was very fond of books, so much so that he often carried a book to bed with him and slept with it under his head. Education was among the first things to claim attention for this promising young boy, so right into the public schools in the county where he was born was his objective point. Rev. Dr. Griffin attended the State Normal school in this city, and in May, 1901, finished the course of study, graduating at the head of the class in theology. With this training he felt that he was prepared to enter the ministry. It was early in 1895 that he was given an opportunity to exercise his gift, for it was this year that he was licensed to preach and was ordained in 1897, thereby adding to the list of ministers one more well prepared man. He was set apart for his work by the Mount Carmel Baptist church. Perhaps it would be of interest to know just what charges he has filled, as this may prove of interest to some of the young men who are struggling to make their mark in life. Dr. Griffin has served as pastor of Little Zion Baptist church, 1896-1900; Galatia Baptist church, Durant's Neck, 1898-1907; Gale-Street Baptist church, Edenton, N. C., 1902-4; Haven Creek Baptist church, 1900-5. In the rural districts one minister often pastors three or more churches at the same time. He is also chairman of the executive board of the Roanoke institute. It was from this position that he was called to the moderatorship of that association. There is something fascinating about newspaper work which is drawing today some of the best men of thought to this line of work. Dr. Griffin was formerly business manager of the Roanoke Tribune and later held the position of managing editor of the Hertford (N. C.) Messenger. At his present charge he has been able to erect a fine parsonage and make other improvements in the property. It has the name of being one of the best organized churches in the country and is foremost in its contributions for education and missions Over 350 members have been added to the church under Dr. Griffin's pastorate. SIRES AND SONS. Joseph McKenna, associate justice of the United States supreme court, was at one time a member of congress. It is on account of his jovial manner and merry laugh that Lord Jocelyn, England's coal king, is known among his friends as "Old King Coal." George William Pyrkes, a coppersmith of Hatton garden, London, is a direct descendant of Robert Burns. His mother was Anne Burns, the only daughter of the Scottish poet. Major J. F. A. Strong, the new governor of Alaska, succeeding Walter F. Clark, resigned, is an editor and publisher of Juneau and has lived in Alaska for fourteen years. He was formerly a newspaper man in California and Washington. Alberic Rolin, recently made director of the library of the Temple of Peace, Holland, through the good offices of the Carnegie foundation, is professor of international law at Ghent and secretary of the Institution de Droit International. Ignatius J. O'Brien, who has just been appointed to succeed Redmond Barry as lord chancellor of Ireland, has been attorney general of the country for about a year. He was admitted to the Irish bar in 1881 and has served on its general council. In 1911 he became solicitor general and last year was raised a step higher. Education Notes. The use of moving pictures in the schools is spreading rapidly in Europe. The Chicago board of education has established two "naturalization schools," open four nights a week, to furnish instruction to applicants for citizenship. This year's session of the Maine legislature enacted a law prohibiting secret societies in the public schools. Another act removes Jan. 1 from the list of holidays. Correspondence courses in health will be a feature of the health instruction bureau to be established at the University of Wisconsin, which aims to reach the people of the whole state with available information on preventable disease, infant mortality, rural hygiene and other subjects.

At a recent trial in Macon a negro was on the witness stand. He testified that a man who had been knocked down lay on the ground five minutes, and the opposing lawyer questioned the statement. To test the accuracy of the witness he took out his own watch and asked the negro to tell him when five minutes was up. The negro told him correctly. As he was leaving the courtroom the lawyer caught up with him. "Plum," he said, "I'll forgive you if you'll tell me how you did it." "Yes, boss," said the negro. "Ah jus' figgered it out." "Figured it out?" "Yes, sah; by de clock on de wall behind you."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Changes. Lost—the boy I used to know, Whose lips and arms I used to crave! Lost forever—oh, the woe!

On the stone of the first there is 'My Wife,' on the second 'My Dear Wife' and on the third 'My Beloved Wife.' If any ghost does walk hereabouts I should say it is the first wife."—Harper's Magazine.
