Mulechy of the 5th Ward and at all times he is looking out for the best interest of all the people residing in his ward and for the best interest of all the people residing in all parts of this great city.

With all of its faults, when compared with other countries we are forced to exclaim "How wonderful is America." It would be a much more wonderful country if politicians and supporters of politicians were not hampered by public opinion. Emerson saw how frail humanity was being hounded and harrassed and weakened by public opinion and so he wrote, that men through the ages might read "What I must do, is all that concerns me, not what the people think." In these troublous times, a man of the type of Aldermah Joseph H. Smith of the 14th Ward, to be seriously sought. He is a man whose every action says "What I must do, is all that concerns me, not what the people think." He is not a cheap politician who seeks your help to put him in office and after being successfully elected, forgets you. The people's feeling of governmental protection is too weak. This is due to the fact that too many men successfully put in office, have abused the confidence of their supporters. I defy any Chairman who is extreme and being the p assist to run him one to bring such an accusation against Alderman Smith. About a year ago, he did a thing which raised him higher in my estimation. A man with no influence, and to whom no one would cater because expecting future support, politically or otherwise, appealed to Mr. Smith, for advice and help, and the spirit in which he did this act of kindness, stamped him a man of superior calibre. People too frequently put in the wrong man, because he represents a certain party. It is high time people were learning to study the man. Alderman Smith is the people's man. ALDERMAN JOHN J. TOUHY IS WORKING VERY HARD TO RE ELECT ALDERMAN MAURICE P. KAVANAGH TO THE CITY COUN- CIL FROM THE 18TH WARD. As the bitter aldermanie contest, draws to a close and will be wound up Tuesday evening, February 24, that fight has been the most bitter and stubborn in the 18th Ward and Alderman John J. Tuchy, who is a very wise politician, for his day and generation; feels dead sure; that when the fighting is all over; that Alderman Kavanagh, will be re-elected to the City Council from that ward.

Wabash avenue, last Friday evening, a highwayman entered it and made their getaway with all of his clothing excepting the suit he wore. ALDERMAN WILLIAM R. O'TOOLE. There never was a time in the history of Chicago, when such a man was more deeply needed. Right on the eve of his election, the loss of his wife unifies him for the task of campaign. It is up to his friends, both white and colored, to rally to his support and assist to re-elect him to the City Council. ANTOINEITE C. CONE. It can be truthfully said that Alderman Smith who is one of the most fair or liberal-minded members of the City Council who has been one of its best and most prominent members since 1914 has always with his vote recorded it on the side of the colored people whenever any measure has been brought to the front in that body which was intended to curtail the political or the civil rights of the colored people in the slightest degree; he has ever stood ready to aid them in every way that it was possible for him to do so. It will be recalled that during the Race riots at East St. Louis in 1917, that many colored people after being mobbed and otherwise maltreated and after their homes had been destroyed by fire and their earthly belongings M. J. HON. JOSEPH HIGGINS SMITH. man of the License Committee of the mostly popular with all classes of his the people's candidate. Both men and him back into the City Council Tues scattered to the four corners of the earth (as it were) many poor uni- tunate colored people with nothing bu what they wore on their backs wended their way from that rotten misgover- ned city to Chicago, many of them landing on the west side in the 14th Ward in the midst of those exciting and distressing times a great meeting was held in one of the colored churches on the west side with the aim and object of raising some money for them. Alderman Smith attended the meeting and he was called on for a few remarks and in his quiet and unassuming man- ner among other things he stated that Alderman William R. O'Toole, was first elected to the City Council from the 30th Ward in 1914, and in a three cornered fight at the primaries he successfully made his get away from his opponents, in 1916 and in 1918 he had dead easy sailing and he walked back to his seat in the City Council chamber without much trouble but at the present time some few of the boys in his ward are attempting to break into the City Council and leave Alderman O'Toole securely chained at the post, but the thousands of friends and supporters of Alderman O'Toole feel more than confident that he will come in under the wire a real winner on Tuesday, February 24. Alderman O'Toole has served on many of the leading committees of the Council; he is a member of the Com- --- sympathy and loud talk was all very well in its place but it occurred to him that the thing which would do the most good right there and then was some real money and without further ado he started the ball to rolling by walking up to the table and laying twenty-five dollars down on it for the benefit of the colored men, women and children who escaped from East St. Louis to this city; at the same time intimating that he was perfectly willing to do anything else that he could for them. The horrible race riots engulfed this fair city last summer and racial feeling between the whites and the colored was strained to almost the breaking point at least for a few days at that very critical time the Alderman Smith continued to mingle right around among the colored people assuring them that he was still their friend; that he was on the side of law and order and as a result of his actions and cool headedness there was mighty disorder or rioting in the 12th Ward. Alderman Smith is one of the big and busy members of the City Couhill. TH. The City Council, this constituents, and women will tuesday, Feb. 24. in the past he has faithfully served on the most important committees of that body; at the present time he is Chairman of the License Committee; member of the Committee on Local Transportation and member of the Committee on Harbors, Warves and Bridge. In view of the past and present splendid record of Alderman Smith in the City Council, the vast majority of the voters residing in the 14th Ward regardless of their political affiliations will be highly honoring themselves by re-electing him for the fourth time to the City Council, Tuesday, Feb. 24th. mittee on Gas, Oil and Electric Lights, Parks, Playgrounds and Beaches and the Committee on License; there is one thing that must be said to the credit of Alderman O'Toole, namely, that he is always ready and willing to look after the interests of his constituents it makes not the slightest difference to him whether they are rich or poor, high or low, white or colored. He has always manfully supported Mayor William Hale Thompson and has voted for his measures while on the other hand many Republican aldermen have bitterly endeavored to tie the hands of Mayor Thompson and to bring him into ill repote and disgrace and for that reason if for no other reason the colored men and women residing in the 30th Ward should on Tuesday, Feb. 24, assist to re-elect Alderman O'Toole to the City Council. ```markdown ``` Mabel Zykes PHOTO 140 N.

Election February 24, 1920. To the Voters of the Second Ward: In submitting my candidacy to the voters of the Second Ward I call your attention to the filthy streets and alleys in this ward and the difference of the condition of the streets in other wards" Homes of Negro Citizens have been bombed in this ward and in other localities and our present aldermen are doing nothing to protect them; no protest has been made by our aldermen against the nefarious Hyde Park and Kenwood Association whose members openly and publicly boast of their success in depriving Negro Citizens of the right to live in certain districts in this city; compare the bathing beach in this ward and other wards. Homes are unjustifiably raided by the police and no redress given, you have the votes and the bosses—the money, will you sell your vote to the bosses or 8TH REGIMENT NOTES The 17th annual military ball of the 8th Regiment was given at the Army on February 12th. These annual balls were discontinued during the war, this being the first one since January, 1917. The Armory was prettily decorated and the booths of the Regimental Units, the Red Cross and the Lincoln League, in which little receptions were being continuously held during the evening, were profusely decorated with the National Colors. The Headquarters Booth contained the Historic Battle Flags of the Regiment as well as the pictures of Governor Frank O. Lowden, our Commander-in-Chief, Colonels Marshall, Denison, Johnson and others. The Recruiting Booth, in charge of Lieutenant Norvell, operated during the evening and 26 former members of the regiment re-enlisted between dances. The Red Cross Sanitary Drill Unit No. 12 gave practical demonstrations of their work during the evening in their booth which was one of the prettiest in the hall. There were about 3,000 people present and it was very pleasing to note that among them were nearly all of our representative citizens. Never in the history of the regiment has such a variety of uniforms been seen. The former officers (our veterans) wore the full dress blue, which sported numerous medals and badges won during their long years of service with the regiment; the Red Cross Drill and Canteen Units were very "chie" in their pretty Red Cross uniforms; the members of the First Separate Battalion wore Olive Drab and service caps; the members of the present regiment wore the Olive Drab and Sam Brownne Belts. Never before has such a perfect grand march been seen in Chicago. Led by Colonel Otis B. Duncan and Miss Eutelle Arnold, followed by Colonet John R. Marshall and Mrs. Marshall, the lines moved and in out perfect unison and with the precision that only soldiers know. Headquarters Company, Capt. James G. Hall, commanding, Supply Company, Capt. Lloyd G. Wheeler, commanding, and Company B, Capt. Stuart Alexander, commanding were formally mastered into the service of the State of Illinois on February 11th, by Lieut. Col John H. Patton. There was much rejoicing among the members of these companies owing to the fact that they were the first of the Chicago Units to be accepted in the service. Requirements for uniforms, arms and equipment have moved forward to Springfield and THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, FEBRUARY 21, 1920. After reading the above card if the same is in harmony with your ideals and are the things which you are fighting against, then I ask you to mark your ballot as above indicated. I have lived in the ward for the past 12 years, graduated 1911 from John Marshall Law School Chicago, admitted Illinois Supreme Court, United States District Court, United States Circuit Court of Appeals and United States Supreme Court; member of Urban League, and various fraternal societies; served in the late war as Legal Advisor to Local Board No. 4 during the entire period of the war; member of the Texas Club and various social clubs in the ward. I am a Republican and if elected I shall serve the people and not the bosses. Very truly yours, RICHARD E. WESTBROOKS these companies will soon begin their formal drills. Major Robert A. Byrd, Captain Will H. Beeler, Wilbert W. Fields and Joseph L. Morgan, Lieutenants Roy B. Tisdell and Russell H. Clem, all officers of the down-state battalion, were present at the ball. Among the out-of-town visitors at the ball were noted Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Napier of Nashville, Col. Boscoe Simmons, Mr. Bert Williams, Miss Buth Thomas of St Louis, Mr. Henry Lincoln Johnson of Atlanta, Mr. Charles Calloway and Mr. Houston of Kansas City, Alderman George Harris of New York, Alderman and Mrs. Fleming of Cleveland, Mr. Robert Church of Memphis, Mr. James Weldon Johnson of New York and Mr. James A. Cobb of Washington. Recruiting at the Armory is again active and only 150 men are needed to fill the Chicago Units. Among those needed are 3 stenographers, 6 clerks, 16 machine gunners, 8 cooks, 10 mechanics, 30 automatic riflemen, and 77 riflemen. Former service men who desire to enlist must do so at once as after filling our ranks there will be no discharges and hence no vacancies in the regiment for about one year. BETHEL LITERARY.

TRICE, Press. J. W. BELL, See'y. In our issue of January 17th, we took occasion to call attention to the unfair and vicious fight that the Property Owner's Journal of the Grand Boulevard district of Kenwood and Hyde Park property owners association was making against the colored people residing in that district. We quoted from the Property Owners' Journal to show that its editor was in substance, encouraging violence by the language he used. It seems that the Journal has taken exception to our charge, and unlike a high class publication, devoted to a high and noble ideal it has descended to the lowest species of journalistic scurrility with which we have met in 25 years of newspaper experience. The Journal says "that it has ignored the Negro press in view of the fact that their editors are irresponsible and "Big Talk" against the whites as an easier method of securing their daily ration or provender than shouldering a shovel as they would have to do, were they not to continue to tickle their readers' palates by their ranting about social equality." Ridicule is a poor answer to argument and when resorted to is the strongest evidence of a weak defense of a distorted brain. This is not a fight for social equality, nor have we mentioned it once in The Broad Ax. We are in a fight for our own rights as citizens and as men. We demand no more, and no fair minded man should want us to receive less. We have no quarrel with the members of the Property Owners Association for having a well defined notion as to who they want as neighbors. Every man has a right to such preference. Just as every man has an unquestioned right to say or choose the character of man he desires to represent him in public office. This is a natural and inherent right. As long as this right is exercised with a due regard to the rights of others there should be no quarrel between citizens of any particular community. But when the members of the Kenwood and Hyde Park Association emphasizes their choice by act and utterances calculated to arouse race antipathy and hatred, that association is infringing upon the rights of other citizens, and it is the duty of every fair minded man and woman to register a protest. The Journal claims it is unalterably opposed to violence and yet in the edition of January 1st, it seeks to have the white man believe that every colored man who moves into Hyde Park is an avowed enemy of the white man. It seeks in that edition to institute a boycott against white persons who give employment or rents or sells to colored people. It seeks to have the employers of colored people who live in Hyde Park to discharge them. In the edition of February 1st, it seeks to make it appear that every colored man who lives or moves into Hyde Park or Kenwood districts is the white man's enemy and to sustain this contention presents a false definitin of crime. It says "A crime is any wrong which is deemed injurious to the public or large which the government punishes through a judicial proceedings in its own name. This of course, is not a correct definition of crime and is given for the purpose of enabling the editor of the Journal to reach the conclusion that every colored person residing in the district where the white man resides, or next door, or in the same block is not alone guilty of a wrongful act, but a crime. It has been variously defined as an act committed or omitted in violation of a public law, either as forbidding or commanding it, and yet, the learned editor of the Journal reaches the conclusion that the Negro is a criminal, because he buys himself a home in a block or neighborhood in which white people are living. It is indeed a stimulating consolation for us that the editor of the Journal is not the dispenser of justice for humanity in this community or in any other. It would be impossible for any Negro in the city of Chicago to extricate himself from the horrible odium of being a criminal when subjected to the definition of the learned editor of the Journal. There is hardly a neighborhood in which colored people are living in which you will not find white people also. But why should we go on calling attention to the glaring inconsistency and injustice appearing in the pages of this journal! Let us get down to reason, if it is the aim of the association to keep the colored people from buying property or renting property in Hyde Park or Kenwood districts, why is it necessary to abuse them! The property is owned by white men and if any group deserves to be abused or influenced, they are the white property owners, and not the colored renter or purchaser. The whole problem is so simple of solution that we are forced to believe that there must be some other motive behind the Journal's unwarranted attack, than is disclosed in their declaration of principal. Some one is trying to mislead the unsuspecting residents of Kenwood and Hyde Park districts; some one with a low virulent prejudice against all colored people is trying to force on the good white people of those districts his unfair and un-American notions of the colored man's place, and finally some one is leading the members of this association into all sorts of legal intangements from which it will take money and anxiety to extract themselves. The editor should know that his utterances against the colored people will not frighten one colored person out of his wits, or cause him to abandon his home, or cease to walk on the public streets, or to ride on the street cars, or in short to exercise in a becoming way all the rights and privileges that are granted to him as an American citizen. Again we say that the Journal is doing all it can to array the races against each other; to destroy the peaceful and harmonious relation hereof existing between the white and colored people in this city, and encouraging the lawless element of both races, to disregard law and order. We are for Law and Order and never hesitate to raise our voice against any one who we think encourages lawlessness. If the members of the Hyde Park associations are actuated by an honest desire to accomplish in a fair way a solution of the race problem, the solution is not difficult to find. Justice and fair treatment, and a proper regard for the rights of others will do more toward bringing about adjustment of any differences that now exist, than any appeal to race prejudice or lawlessness. We have read many pages from the South and elsewhere but we have never seen in any page such low and unfair appeals to race prejudice as appears in this journal, and may we add in passing that instead of the colored people who seek by thrift and energy to better their housing conditions being criminals the Journal is committing a crime in directly violating the law in nearly every one of its issues. The membership shows an array of legal talent and it is strange that they have not advised the editor that he is violating the law in each issue of the Journal. We sincerely trust that the thoughtful, sober minded and well disposed members of the association will put an end to the libel and lawless utterances that hortofore characterize the Journal. Let us hope that the editor of the Journal can be made to see that he is not only violating every sense of fairness and justice in the false statements he is making in his paper, but that he is violating the express law of the State of Illinois. GOVERNOR EDWIN P. MOBROW SHOWS GOVERNOR HOBBY HOW TO STOP LYNCHING. The Houston Post, commenting on the lawful tragedy at Lexington, Ky., says, "The killing and wounding of a number of people at Lexington, Ky., by troops sent to preserve law and order during the trial of a Negro, is deploreable, but it ought to accomplish something toward checking the growth of the lynching evil. It was a drastic method of preventing a lynching, but the time has come for drastic measures, if this form of anarchy is to be put down in this country. "The members of the mob which undertook to rush the soldier guard of the court house square had less excuse for seeking to take the law into their own hands than the usual mob has. The law was taking its course in record-breaking time. The Negro had been indicted, had confessed and had been tried, convicted and sentenced to death, all within the space of about ten days. The courts had functioned properly and there was absolutely no reason, why a mob of citizens should have undertaken to carry out the court's sentence. "The provocation of legal delays that mobs sometimes have was entirely lacking here. Only a spirit of lawlessness and vengeance prompted the crowd to attack the court house to get the Negro. "The governor of Kentucky who sent the troops to preserve order, the commander and the troops themselves all deserve the congratulations of the American people for upholding at all costs the majesty of the law. Their action had a much deeper meaning than simply protecting the life temporarily of the ignorant, criminal Negro. If his life had been all that was at stake, it would not have been worth the effort. "But it was the government of Kentucky that the mob attacked when they undertook to take the Negro away from Kentucky authorities, and by that net they placed themselves in the position of insurrectionists, challenging the authority of their government. When men do that, they ought to know they take their lives into their own hands, and have no redress if they come to grief." 24th and Wabash Ave., H. E. Stewart, Pastor.

The hottest fights which will be pulled off between the various contests for the honors of ward committeeman and it is freely admitted by the wise politicians who always claim or pretend that they know everything, that the most exciting fights will be waged between Hon. William H. Dellenback and A. N. Tood in the 14th Ward and the indications are that in the final show down that Mr. Dellenback will come out of the scrap on top. In the 6th Ward the fight will be between Hon. Roy O. West, Robert J. McLaughlin and Dr. Willis O. Nance, Rev. W. S. Braddan, the main or the head procher on Bible pounder of Borean Baptist Church, who stands high in the estimation of Mr. West; Hon. Charles S. Deneen, Hon. Thomas J. Healy, Joseph F. Haas, and many of the other leading colored men in the 6th Ward, who play at the game of politics, are working very hard for the success of Mr. West, in his contest for Ward Crimmiteeman and they feel down deep in their bones; that the fight is over, right now but the shouting. It must be said to the credit of Mr. West; that in 1917, when Hon. Maclay Hoyne, State's Attorney of Cook County, was doing everything in his power to land Hon. Oscar De Priest, behind the prison bars; that Mr. West, had the moral courage to withstand the blunts and severe criticisms of the powerful daily newspapers in the city and he ascended the witness stand in the Criminal Court and under oath, testified to the moral character, uprightness and good standing of Oscar De Priest, in this community. This week Congressman William B. McKinley threw his hat in the ring for United States Senator from Illinois and from now until the state wide primaries in September he will be good and ready for all those who attempt to run up against him in the senatorial race.

Furnished by the Newspaper Service Bureau, 305 Broadway. John Chifford Hawkins, the colored assemblyman from the 21st A. D. has introduced a bill in the New York legislature calling for an appropriation of about $27,000.00 to be used in fitting out the 15th N. Y. Infantry.

The show at the Lafayette theatre this week is the drama "The Return of Eva." It features the return of Mrs. Charles H. Anderson to the Negro stage after an absence of over a year.

FEBRUARY 21. 1920 time was made by Samuel Scholer of 601 W. 184th street whose home Brown is said to have unlawfully entered. The programme Sunday, February the 15th at the Y. W. C. A. was one of unusual merit. Dr. J. E. Mooreland, International Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. addressed the girls on "Progress." The real hit of the afternoon was the singing of the famous Sydney Woodward and his quartette. They rendered selections from the opera and some of the ever popular Negro folk songs. They were encored again and again. Eearl Pugley, formerly a lieutenant at Camp Jackson, S. C., and now back home at his old address, 25 W. 99th street, graduated last week from the New York University Law School with the degree of L. L. B.

Davis as Commissioner of Corrections. He has been very active in Race uplift movements. Commencing last Thursday and running for about two weeks New York is being treated to a unique number of creditable exhibits showing the progress of the Negro.

Brave Little Bob has received many injunctions to be "manly," the word being used to mean to go about his business bravely and quietly and in a self-respecting manner. The other day Bob's pet cat was suspected of some weakling misdemeanor and Bob rose to the rescue in a hurry. "I'm sure she never did it, mamma." he exclaimed indignantly. "She'd never think of acting in such a manner. She is a very manly cat." Hard to Believe. A good Arabian horse can center in the desert for twenty-four hours in summer and forty-eight in winter without drinking. Ancient Honduran City. Copan is an ancient ruined city of northwestern Honduran, on the Copan river. The remains are of unknown antiquity and very extensive, stretching for about two miles along the river. The buildings are of stone, embracing a temple over 600 feet long, with many sculptured figures. The Copan rulers take their name from a modern town to the east of them. This was an Indian stronghold, and was taken after a fierce struggle by the Spanfards under Hermando de Chaves in 1580. History Repeats Itself Briggs and Fowler were talking of the great wars fought in the days when the world was considerably younger. "You know," said Briggs "it always seems to me that those old warriors were very much like our modern financiers." "What do you mean?" asked Fowler. "Well they were always investing some one else's capital, weren't they?" No Safety in Seclusion A good old lady is in a town not far from here pliously thanked Providence each day of her life that she was not exposed to the perils that missionaries in savage countries incurred. As she was taking her placid morning walk one day a branch broke from an elm tree and fell upon her, injuring her so badly that her death resulted not long afterward. Yet none could have lived a more sheltered and secluded life than she. Maryland in History. The city of Baltimore was founded in 1728, Frederick in 1745 and Georgetown in 1751. Maryland played an honorable part in the Revolutionary war, and in 1783 congress met at Annapolis, where, on December 23, after the conclusion of peace, Washington resigned his commission as commander in chief. In the war of 1812 the state suffered severely. Fort McHenry was bombarded by the English fleet in September, 1814, this battle being the occasion for the writing of "The Star-Spangled Banner" by Francis Scott Key. Fisherman's Lucky Day A 14-carat gold band ring was found by John Moore, one of the crew of the fishing schooner Gertrude De Costa, inside a big halibut caught on George bank recently. The ring is a man's size and is believed to have been dropped overboard from some tran .lantic liner. Judging from its condition when recovered from the halibut's stomach by Moore, the ring had been lost recently. Moore will wear it, as there is no way of determining the ownership. The Hangar. Many people think that the airplane word "hangar" is an affectation and is the late adaption of a French word. A look into the Standard dictionary will reveal the fact that Thackeray uses the word and that it means a shed, not primarily a place to hang a dirigible.—Hartford Courant. Meaning of "Selah." The word Selah, which occurs so frequently in the Psalms, is usually believed to be a direction to the musicians who chanted the Psalms in the temple. Mattheson, the great musical critic, wrote a book on the subject, in which, after rejecting a number of theories, he came to the conclusion that it is equivalent to the modern "da capo," and is a direction that the air or song is to be repeated from the commencement to the part where the word is placed. When Death Cools His Sting. There is in the West Indies a very curious superstition regarding death. When a death occurs in a house all the water in it should be regarded as poisoned and at once thrown away. The idea is that death after claiming his victim will cool his "sting" in the first water he reaches, which thereby becomes a deadly poison. No one can tell what water has been touched, so the safe thing to do is to get rid of all that is within his reach and do it at once.

KAVANAGH, NON-PARTI-SAN CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION TO THE CITY COUNCIL FROM THE EIGHTEENTH WARD. HE IS THE BUSINESS MEN'S CANDIDATE. BOTH MEN AND WOMEN CAN VOTE FOR HIM ELEC TION DAY, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24. THE MAJORITY OF THE COLORED VOTERS IN THAT WARD ARE FAST RALLYING TO HIS SUPPORT AND WILL ASSIST TO PUT HIM OVER THE PLATE ON THE DATE MENTIONED. In 1918 or two years ago Alderman Kavanagh was elected to the City Council from the 18th Ward, after a very bitter and long-drawn out fight, and being a new man in the council, many of the older heads or members looked upon him as a greenhorn, and they were inclined to pass him up for a while, but in two short years Alderman Kavanagh has easily proven himself to be one of the best and most valuable members of the City Council. He is a member of the following committees: Harbors, Wharves Bridges, Buildings and City Hall, Public Health and Track Elevation. Alderman Kavanagh is never too busy to give the proper consideration to all those who approach him while in the discharge of his official duties around the City Council rooms and the City Hall. Alderman Kavanagh has resided in the 18th Ward for more than 30 years and for over 12 years he has been successfully engaged in the restaurant business, and he knows the wants and the needs Lincoln's Little Joke Once in his law day while Lincoln was in Chicago trying a suit, his wife had the roof taken off their house to make the house higher. On Lincoln's return he manifested great surprise, and asked a passerby, "Stranger, can you tell me where Lincoln lives?" Receiving the desired information, he then gravely entered the domicile. "Bosker Time" Is Cheerful The term a "bosker time," which the Australians use to describe a cheerful leave, comes home to its birthplace, little altered. "Bosky," with a similar meaning, was an English colloquialism in the eighteenth century. And "bosky" is still current slang with us, but implying too generous use of the wine cup. There is one phrase in the book of slang which is decidedly pleasing, "Australian grip." It stands for that best of greetings, the honest, hearty hand shake—London Chronicle. Date of Christ's Birth The Christian era, first used by a monk, Dionysius Exigus, in the year 533 A. D. and adopted by Christian nations at a later period, was intended to begin with the birth of Christ. Dionysius is believed, however, to have made an error in fixing that event in the year of Rome 754 instead of 750. Christ's birth is now considered to have taken place in or before the year 4 B. C. Largest Pipe Organ. What is undoubtedly the largest and probably the greatest pipe organ ever made was that which was played in Festival hall in St. Louis, during the exposition in 1904. It was originally made for Convention hall, in Kansas City, but was never accepted. It remained in storage for years and was then bought by John Wanamaker and installed in his Philadelphia store, where it is played every working day. The organ weighs 375,000 pounds. A Way to Fame Fame is very easily acquired. All you have to do is to be in the right place at the right time and do the right thing in the right way—and then advertise it widely—Kansas City Star. Edinburgh Landmark Gone Embarked Landmark Bone An interesting bit of old Edinburgh, dating back about 1800, has been burned. The destroyed building, which consisted of a single story and attic, was one of the landmarks of the Holyrood area. It was the old Yew Tree tavern, and stood inside the bounds of the Holyrood sanctuary for debtors, within which, in days of yore, the fugitive was free from the attentions of his creditors Value of Training. The value of systematic physical training for executives is being recognized by industrial concerns throughout the country. It is well known that exercise for those whose work does not normally provide it makes for efficiency and little loss of time through illness. Here an "Old Settler." With a known lineage trailing through 3,000 dusty years the hare may well be called one of the ancient inhabitants of the earth. Among the oldest Jews the hare and its near relative, the coney of the rocks, were excluded from the ranks of edible animals; but as the flesh of the hare was found to be both nutritious and wholesome the prejudice against it gradually disappeared and it began to be grown and domesticated for food. Bing Strangely Recovered. A wedding ring was found in the stomach of a cod caught on the Grand banka. The ring belonged to Mrs. Pauline Burnham, an English woman, who had lost it when the steamship Anglo-Saxon went down in 1861. The fisherman traced the ownership of the ring and sent it back to the son of Mrs. Burnham, who is said to have rewarded him with a present of $250. "Kifohen Middena." K.chen middens are great mounds, some 100 feet long and 260 feet wide, found in Denmark, England, Scotland, France and in parts of Europe, North and South America and Australia. They are supposed to be the refuse heaps of prehistoric periods, and are composed chiefly of oyster, periwinkle, cockle and mussel shells.

The Municipal Vofers' League recently said in reviewing the candidates for alderman: "Mr Kavanagh is finishing his first term with a good record." He stands for HOME RULE in Chicago and for Municipal Ownership of all public utilities. Alderman Kavanagh stands ace high with the colored people residing in his ward, in the past he has secured good paying positions for five or six colored men who are occupying those same position, and at all times he has been ready to do anything or favor that he possibly can do for the colored people residing in his ward, and without any question about it hundreds of both colored men and women will with their votes assist to re-elect him to the City Council Tuesday, February 24.

Little Roy had just returned from a week's visit to his aunt, and was trying to describe the folding bed he had been sleeping in.

No man can be happy when he deplies his own acts, when he has any consciousness of wrong, whether of motive or act. No man can be happy when he harbors thoughts of revenge jealousy, envy or hatred.
