H. guests to the r entered the roo The opening The hall was beautifully decorated with a mass of French ribbons of all colors extending from the center of the ceiling to all sides of the hall in which were hung at regular intervals along the middle and encircling the balcony's railing Japanese lanterns. Several palms decorated the platform where the musical numbers of the program were rendered. Behind this platform on the northeast side of the hall heavily decorated with palms was located "The House of Music," Prof. Hutt's Syncopators Orchestra, which discoursed the most thrilling chants of the evening, and which caused every one to have a jolly good time. In the southeast corner was located "The Fountain of Youth," where the punch was served. "The Palm Alcove," was located in the extreme southwest end where the receiving party stood, palms were placed all around it, and near the center a basket of flowers were placed on a small table. The receiving party consisted; of Prof. and Dr. William Emanuel, Miss Phoebe Nan Clanton, Miss Florence Hardin, Miss Adele Collins, Miss Juanita Emanuel, the debutante; Miss Dolores Schurlock, Miss Lauretta Beaty and Miss Lavinia Bowles. Miss Emanueh, the debutante, was costumed in a gown of peach taffeta color trimmed in pink rose buds and French lace, diamond jewels, consisting of a diamond lavallier, and American Beauty roses, and an elaborately coiffed head with a wreath of golden leaves, she seemed very happy in bestowing her charming smiles upon the five hundred ladies and gentlemen, who greeted her in return. Dr. Fannie Emanuel was costumed in a brocade chiffon gown, pearl necklace, diamond brooch, a lavender ostrich fan which matched the evening gown; and she never looked any lovlier nor more charming than she did on that pleasant occasion; Miss Phoebe Nan Clanton, burnt orange color chiffon gown, pearl necklance, and diamond jewels; Miss Florence Hardin wore a canary colored taffeta gown, pearl necklace, diamond jewels; Miss Adele Collins, white cannon crepe gown trimmed in lace, oriental bracelet, rhinestone head dress; Miss Dolores Schurlock, pink taffeta gown, pearl necklace, bouquet of roses, ostrich fan; Miss Lauretta Beaty, turquoise blue gown trimmed in silver lace, pearl necklace, bouquet of carnations and narcissus; Miss Lavinia Bowies turquoise blue gown trimmed in lace, diamond and pearl jewels, peach color ostrich fan, Prof. William Emanuel was attired in conventional evening dress for the occasion, Dr. Robert H. Hardin presented the guests to the receiving party as they entered the room. The opening of the social party was a grand march led and directed by Mr. Charles W. Settles, at the close of the grand march as the couples formed twos again, they encircled the hall and the ladies stood in front of their parteners waiting for one of the features, which was a program consisting of several classical musical numbers, which were delightfully rendered by Miss Nellie Dotson, one entitled "Carmena," she was accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Ione Trice, Miss Dotson wore a black Spanish lace gown, coiffed head, beautiful jewelry. She was heartily applauded at the conclusion of her classical selection. Prof. Harrison Emanuel, violinist, whose name stands for all that is highest in violin music, gave the audience a rare treat in his wonderful renditions of "Souvenir Poetique," by Efibh Then the attention of the audience was attracted to another interesting feature, a little more difficult task to grasp the full enjoyment of; balloons were floating from the balcony, the first gentlemen who could succeed in catching one before it burst was Mr. Reginald Waddell and he received the first dance with Miss Emanuel, debuntante.

Not less than five hundred of the best class of ladies and gentlemen were present on that pelasant occasion which will long be remembered. Prof. and Dr. Emanuel, richly deserve to be highly commended, for since locating in this city, many years ago, they have successfully raised and educated three sons and one daughter, namely, Mr. Floyd Emanuel, Prof. Harrison Emanuel, the famous violinist Mr. McKinley Emanuel and Miss Juanita Emanuel. Al three of their sons, assist their father in successfully conducting his well established business, and Miss Juanita, who is a graduate of the Hyde Park High School, and who will shortly enter the Chicago Normal College and by being pleasant and dutiful she has the best wishes for her continued successful educational career, of thousands of the best people in this city. Dr. Fannie Emanuel, who is one of our best and warmest lady friends in Chicago and she has never permitted the grass to grow under her feet, for with all of her household duties and other responsibilities resting on her shoulders she found the time to take up the study of medicine, and six or seven years ago she successfully became a full fledged surgeon and physician and she is meeting with splendid success, in the practice of her chosen profession. The Emanuels are a great honor to the great citizenship of Chicago. TO BUILD MONUMENT TO MEMORY OF JAMES CAR-DINAL GIBBONS Cardinal Gibbons Institute to Be Erected as Living Institution for Youth of Race Washington, D. C.—James Cardinal Gibbons, is to have soon a monument to his memory. It will be a worthy one, most pleasing to him whose life for over sixty years was devoted to public service for God and country. What would he prefer as a memorial if we could know his choice? A statue in marble or bronze, beautiful to the eye, and with his name and works lettered on it—or a living institution bearing his name and working on and on with ever-increasing effectiveness for the poorest of his people! Had he lived, by this time, the Cardinal Gibbons Institute (under some other name, to be sure) undoubtedly would be in operation, and the colored youth of the country, irrespective of their church affiliations, would have an opportunity for a practical education under Catholic auspices. A "Catholic Tuskegee" teaching the youth of the colored race how to live, how to earn a living, how to keep well, how to do well in peace and understanding with their neighbors; and training leaders to work among others of their race in other places! He began the movement, we will complete it as his memorial. Can you think of a more fitting memorial—one that would please that great American church-man more? Will you help erect it? We know the many demands on your resources at the present time, but this cannot wait longer. The Cardinal is gone now nearly three years' Don't wait, help now. Send your contributions, great or small, to the office of the Executive Committee given above, who unanimously joins in this appeal to you and to all who loved the Cardinal. (Signed) Most Rev. M. J. Curley, William S. Benson, David I. Walsh, William S. Aumen, Lawrence P. Williams, A. C. Monhan.

COMMISSION ON INTERRACIAL COOPERATION R. B. Eleazer, Press Representative HEROES IN SABLE Ex-Gov. M. R. Patterson in Memphis Commercial Appeal You can never tell who the heroes in this life may be. They are discovered as occasions arise. Woodfin of Kentucky and York of Tennessee were all unknown to fame, until circumstances gave them the chance to show in what heroic molds they were cast. Woodfin and York are white, but a dispatch from Aberdeen, Miss., tells of another story of heroism, of brave and unselfish service wrapped up in two black skins. The story goes that a man, his wife and 10-months old baby were in an automobile truck packed with their belongings, which they were moving to a new home, and when they reached the James Creek Canal the driver lost control of the car and it plunged into the icy waters with all on board. The day it is said, was bitterly cold, with the temperature far below the freezing point, and it seemed that the father, mother and child would all drown and the waters close over them. Without help there was no chance to survive. Two Negroes—Ed. Jones and William Drake—happened to be walking down the road and witnessed the accident. Without a moment's hesitation these men plunged into the stream and effected the rescue of the three struggling forms in the water, who were then brought to Aberdeen and given attention. This is all. The account ended here. I don't know what, if anything, was done for the Negroes, or if anybody praised them. I am sure they have not been decorated for bravery and were not met with brass bands and offers of entertainment. The names of these Negroes will probably never again be in the papers. They did not kill anybody—they saved somebody. No commander ordered them to do what they did, and nobody was there to look on except the helpless trio in the swirling waters. But God looked down upon what these obscure Negroes did, and Christ was near them when they risked their own lives to save the lives of others. It won't do, my friends, for us to hate or wrong a race that can furnish heroes like this. It won't do not to give it a chance—not to help and encourage it. Ed. Jones and William Drake are black only outside—they are all white within. Their act was as fine as any that may be found in any tale which has been told of heroic service. Ed. Jones and William Drake have hearts of gold. They are gentlemen by right of what they did. Their titles are clear to respect and honor. GIRL WHO KNEW HOW TO SMILE IS LEFT $10,000 Boston.—Miss Clara E. Henry, of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, will receive $10,000 through the will of the late Mrs. Mary C. Williams. The amount was left Miss Henry because she knew how to smile and how to lend a helping hand to a stranger. (Special To The Broad Ax) Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-National Negro Health Week will be observed this year from March 30 to April 5th, according to plans adopted at a meeting of twenty representatives of social and civic agencies held here last week. This annual event, which was inaugurated by the late Booker T. Washington ten years ago, has meant a great deal to the race in health education and improvement. Plans are being laid for making its observance this year more universal and effective than ever before. The movement in general is under the auspices of the National Negro Business League, of which Dr. R. R. Moton is president. In the South primary responsibility for its observance is delegated to the Interracial Commission and its 800 state and county branches. Co-operating actively are national, state and local boards of health, Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., medical, hygiene, tuberculosis and child welfare associations, churches, schools, colored women's clubs, chambers of commerce, fraternal orders, insurance companies, and other civic and social agencies. All persons interested in promoting public health are asked to enter actively into the observance of Health Week. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE WILL RECEIVE MARTYR PETI- TION FEBRUARY ? N. A. A. C. P. Announces Petition Has 120,000 Signatures President Coolidge has appointed February 7, as the day on which he will receive a delegation of colored citizens to present the petition with 120,000 signatures, asking for pardon of the 54 members of the 24th Infantry still imprisoned for their alleged share in the Houston Riot of 1917. The signatures were gathered by the N. A. A. C. P., with the co-operation of colored newspapers, churches, lodges, fraternal bodies and other individuals and groups. The delegation will be received at the White House at noon on the day appointed. The N. A. A. C. P. is now arranging for a committee of 50 representative organizations and individuals to sponsor the presentation. The White House has limited the delegation actually making the presentation to ten people, who will act for the whole committee. The names of individuals and organizations making up the whole committee of 50 will accompany the petition and will be made public. The delegation of ten will represent as adequately as possible the organizations participating in this effort. It is hoped that one or more influential members of Congress may accompany the delegation to the White House. FACTS ABOUT THE BONUS The bonus and tax reduction are the two live issues before Congress. Politicians seeking re-election are loathe to commit themselves on either measures at the present time. Hence there is a deal of real demagoguery. Real statemen have been trying to work out these natural problems and gave the problems and give the people the facts. If the people know the facts, public opinion may be relied upon to bring about a satisfactory conclusion. The three different measures placed before Congress for soldiers' bonus are the Fordney, McGumber and Mott. All three bills give ex-service men the option of choosing any one, but only one of the following plans: 1. Adjusted service, cash award. 2. Adjusted service certificated, insurance. The cost involved in these bills varies as does the lines in which the government would have to pay the amounts. Amy E. Spingarn, wife of J. E. Spingarn, Treasurer of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People and member of its Board of Directors, has presented the organization with a check for $1,000 to meet the offer of Phillip G. Peabody of Boston. Mr. Peabody offered $1,000, if the N. A. A. C. P. could raise an additional $9,000 in a period of 60 days, the final date set being March 10, 1924. Mrs. Spingarn has for many years been a generous contributor to the work of the N. A. A. C. P. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, FEBRUARY 2, 1924 M. J.

MORFETT CHICAGO Republican candidate for re-nomination for Coroner of Cook County. Both men and women can vote for him at the Primaries, Tuesday, April 8, and at the election in November. He will run over all of his opponents and make a home run back into the Coroner's office. POSTAL CLERKS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES ARE JUSTLY ENTITLED TO RECEIVE AN INCREASE IN THEIR WAGES Several bills are now pending in the "Upper House" and the other in the "Lower House" of Congress. The object of these bills is to increase the wages of all the clerks in the postal service throughout the United States. From every point of view the employees in that branch of the government should receive a substantial increase in their wages and the leading DR. W. S. SCARBOROUGH TO SOON PUBLISH A NEW BOOK Wilberforce, Ohio.—Dr. W. S. Scarborough, the first Negro to write a text book on Greek and used by eastern colleges, will soon publish a textbook entitled "Studies in Philology," a volume composed of papers read at various meetings of the Philological Association and the American Archaeological Institute. The book will be published by the Princeton University Press, Princeton, N. J. HON. MARTIN B.

It must be borne in mind that house rents products, of every description, including clothing, etc., have within the past few years, advanced in cost from 50 to 75 per cent and in order for the postal clerks to live decently they should be cheerfully voted a larger compensation for the faithful service which they are constantly rendering all the citizens of this country belonging to Uncle Sam. Members of the Chicago Postoffice NEGRO PHYSICIAN ASKS $120,000 RAIL DAMAGES Washington.—Edward Crosby, Negro phisician of Detroit, has filed a complaint with the Interstate Commerce Commission, asking $120,000 damages against the Seaboard Air Line, Southern Louisville & Nashville and the St. Louis-San Francisco railroads, and the Pullman Company. He charged these companies did not give him the same accommodations accorded white passengers, in violation of the Interstate Commerce law. M. H. HON. OSCAR WOLFF Candidate for re-nomination for Co Both men and women can vote for Tuesday, April 8, and at the elect will run over all of his opponent back into the Coroner's office. Clerks' Union, seeking to win popular support for the fight to increase postal clerks' pay from a minimum of $1,400 to a minimum of 2,000, invite the attention of the Chicago public to the following reasons for the salary reclassification: "The postal clerks are skilled workers. It requires a long period of study and close application for them to qualify so as to render efficient service. "They are paid out of the earnings of the postal service and not general taxes and should, therefore, participate in a reasonable share of their production. "Increased efficiency and increased productivity should be rewarded by increased wages." EMERY FORD PASSES AWAY After eight days of severe illness, Emery Ford of 1112 N. Clark St., passed away at the hospital last week and was buried from Herman Baptist Church, 1745 N. Clark St., with Rev A. L. Harris officiating. Mr. Ford is survived by his mother, Mrs. Mattie Ford, other relatives and friends. Mrs. John B. Hart, 4841 Federal street, has been quite ill recently. She is now, to the great delight of her many friends, again regaining her health. HIGHLY INTERESTING FACTS PERTAINING TO THE VARIOUS BRANCHES OF THE MASONICFRATERNITY. By Sir Knight James E. Bish, 33. SOME OF OUR LADIES ARE ALSO JINERS A review of the Auxiliary Masonic branches, may remind some of us that we are not the only members of our families that like to join some of the many societies that we are connected with. We have the Courts of Heroines of Jericho, the Chapters of the Order of Eastern Star, the Daughters of Isis, the Sphinks, Crusaders, Golden Circle, The Administrative Councils and Commandery and Shriners Auxiliaries. All these Branches have a Grand Head of some kind, and all must have a Warrant or Charter of some kind. The qualification of the members are the same in all these branches, viz. They must be the Mothers, Wives or Daughters of a Mason. They each have a full quote of Officers, and they must pay the monthly, and annual dues, meet on different nights and pay rent for each meeting, must contribute to the branch for each death, and receive death benefits from all these branches. The average membership of these branches is 75; so if you belong to all these branches you must pay seven or eight death assessments at the death of a member, pay eight different monthly dues, and the average is 25 cents, the death assessment averages 75 cents. The average monthly dues and death assessments and grand tax means say $4.00 per month, $48.00 per annum. Each branch has different paraphernalia, the average cost being $75.00, each member must have the necessary badges or uniforms which average $5.00. Suppose all these branches were consolidated into two organizations, what would we save? But few of these organizations are known to our Anglo-Saxon sisters. We are all engaged in social and charitable affairs, these sisters are busy spreading sunshine and happiness to the distressed and needy, which broaden their views in many direc- SHORT CUTS (Lincoln News Service) We have 12,660 female barbers, hair-dressers and manicurists. A New York democrat has introduced another Race Commission Bill. Norfolk, Va., now leads Richmond in the number of colored inhabitants. The Bishop with the golden cross will probably receive a political double-cross. Our business men are experiencing difficulty in finding trained young men and women. The whole continent of Africa has only three independent states, Egypt, Abyssinia and Liberia. Mr. S. E. Parker, a progressive colored business man of Richmond, Va., has opened a new bakery. Accomac County, Virginia, produces more sweet potatoes and yams than any other country in the United States. The "Modernists" are no longer singing that familiar hymn, "The Old-time Religion is Good Enough for Me." Several "modernist" colored bandits recently held up a Kansas City Bank and escaped with $44,500 instead of an old pair of trousers. An educational commission has gone to East Africa to examine into the educational needs of the natives from a religious, social, hygienic and economic point of view. A modern new brick business block, erected by George Andrews, a colored man of Bells, Texas, provides stores, shops and offices for business men of his group. We are waiting to hear of some "colored democrat," who aspires to attend the democratic national convention at New York in the capacity of a delegate-at-large, or even as an alternate. The State of Georgia, with a colored population greater than the combined population (all classes) of Delaware, New Hampshire, Nevada and Vermont, is the only state having more than 1,000,000 colored inhabitants.

Is the game worth the powder? Is their labors of love Appreciated? After you have toiled with them for thirty or forty years and old age overtakes you, your activities are lessened, then you expect your reward, then if these societies come and bring sunshine and happiness it is worth while, but if not, your efforts have all been in vain. These different associations whose nature and tendency we have been considering, receive their names from circumstances merely casually and often of trifling consideration: though all of them were established for the same purpose, and derived from the same source, and all are very useful to the Masonic Fraternity, so long as they do not assume to be Masons, and are guided by the principle and teachings of the ancient and honorable fraternity, but when they assume to change the customs, either of their own volition or by false teachings of some of our less informed brothers they become a dangerous adjunct, and should not be palliated or tolerated by the fraternity. There are so many of these branches that the well informed brother cannot keep pace with them, which is largely the reason for the uninformed being given the opportunity to mislead the sisters, and the straying from the Masonic fold has caused several of the sister branches to get in bad standing with the Masonic Bodies, from whom they look for guidance and protection. One other reason for forgetting the teachings of the Masonic fraternity is that some belong to so many other organizations they get MIXED UP in the work and teachings of some insurance organization, when the Masonic fraternity is strictly a Charitable organization. If all these societies were reduced to the Chapter and COURT time, money, energy and charity would be benefitted thereby. SOME OF THE CITIZENS ON THE SOUTH SIDE WHO VIOLATED THE LAWS OVER SUNDAY WERE BROUGHT UP BEFORE JUDGE JOHN A BUGEE MONDAY MORNING AT 48TH ST. POLICE STATION Among the many cases tried before his honer, Judge J. A. Bugee, were the following: Arthur Wiley, the husband of Leona Wiley, 4228 Vincennes avenue, last Saturday afternoon, attempted to murder his wife, who works at the Chicago Beach Hotel. He had threatened her life on several occasions with a gun, beat her, and they separated a while then lived together again. He was fined $10.00 and costs and his gun. James Adams, husband of *Mrs. Adams, was charged with disorderly conduct. He went home drunk, drew a knife on his wife, and beat her. He swore off on drinking. Judge Bugeen asked Mrs. Adams if she wished her husband to be sentenced to six months or would she rather take him home. The answer was "I'll take him home." City of Chicago vs. Campbell. A taxi driver took a big 300-pound white passenger for a joy ride. When he reached his destination, he discovered his passenger was drunk and also could not pay his bill. He then drove him to the police station, where he was locked up over night. Judge Bugee gave him until the next day to pay his taxi bill and asked him if he would be sure to be there. Prisoner said: "Judge, if I give you my word I will keep it." The Judge replied, "Yes, and if I give you mine again you will keep it." James Smith, charged with forgery, tried to issue a bad check. He had at one time offered to pay the amount of $10.00 to the plaintiff and the money was refused. The next time the plaintiff came to collect the money the check was given him. Mr. Smith was fined $8.50, which was to be paid the following day and the case would come to an end. * * * Frank Gordon, charged with being drunk, spent a night in the police station. The Judge told him the next time he was caught drunk it would cost him $200.00 and costs. Messrs. Jenkins and Mitchell were charged with picking pockets. Their hands were caught in the wrong pockets a month and a half ago. They were bound over and held without bond. Their case will come up February 7th. Judge Bugee seems to understand how to deal with the violators of the law to perfection, and he is rapidly cleaning up 48th Street Station of the Wabash Avenue District. COL. CHARLES E. STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, IS STILL ON EARTH AND HE IS HAVING A RIP ROARING TIME DOWN IN LOUISIANA AND FLORIDA. Thibodaux, Louisiana.—They are trying to elect a governor down here in Louisiana and many are the issues up before the people, especially the Klan, and I am sorry to say that we have no say in it, and it matters not who is elected, he will not owe anything to my people, and that is why we can have the life crushed out of us and that is why we are in a heluva fix when it comes to defending our rights as citizens. You may fume and puff and blow all you please, but you may put it down that I told you that a voteless people is a helpless people and I care not who they are. When my people down home had a ballot in their hands, they were considered somebody, and they were called in consultation. I can't see to save my life how in the heath feathers we are going to get Walter Cohen or any one else approved by the Senate when we have no say in the state from which he hails. We have brought all the pressure to bear on our Senators, but then, his home people are "agin" him and thereby hangs the future. Then what about the Dyer bill? I am not prepared to say, but I fear that there is not manhood enough in the House and Senate to pass it and we may have to sing "Hark From the Tomb." This is what I am looking for, and this is what I am thinking right now. But then I am not going to talk about these things this week, for I am just full and I feel like saying some words which Dr. A. M. Townsend would not allow to go in the Sunday School Literature of the Sunday School Publishing Board, of the National Baptist Convention. Let us now look to the Lord and be dismissed from this subject. Speaking of Dr. Townsend, I tell you they are pushing to completion that home for the Sunday School Publishing Board, and it is going to be a great building. The Baptists of America will be called on to go to Nashville and dedicate the building next fall, and I am praying the Lord to spare me to see it completed and let me shout all over Nashville and depart for glory in peace. I want to see this done. Secretary Townsend is putting forth every possible effort to make it complete. They are turning out some good literature for the minds of the youth. I wrote you last week for one time from New Orleans or some other place, and permit me to tell you that I have never been so much impressed with New Orleans as I was on this visit, and it is due to the fact that I came in contact with one of the greatest physicians in this country, Dr. M. C. Gaines, a man as black as the shoes he wears, but has the training which places him in the front rank. You see he has shown to the world that color has nothing to do with culture, and that he is not a colored physician, but just a physician standing with the best. That color only represents the house in which he jives, but he per se is invisible. You cannot see mind, you cannot see soul for therein lies the man. He thinks the thought of God and is helping God to work out his plans on earth. A wonderful mission. I am proud of the fact that there is no white man or any other kind of man who can crush my manhood. He cannot put a limit on brains. This is why I am constantly going into colleges and schools trying to get me some more education. But I was talking about Dr. Gaines. He came into the world somewhere about Natchez, Mississippi, and started out at once in search of a man. As soon as he came into the world, they started him to work. He was the milk boy, and had to milk for a living. Then as soon as he was large enough and old enough into the school he went, completing his literary training, then he studied for the doctor business declaring all the time that he was going to the top, and his resolutions have been carried out. He had seen in the Bible where it was not good for man to be alone; so when on a visit to his old home, shortly after coming out of school he met that refined, cultured young woman, Miss Celia Dumas and asked her to be his bride, and after thinking it over thought she could be of some service to humanity and accepted. It is indeed a real happy couple, and they have a home in keeping with their position. One of the finest in the country. Dr. Gaines' office is a palace within itself. He is putting things over. I had the pleasure of being in his home, and you will believe me honey, that he looked after me, fought bugs for me, tooted me around in his automobile car carriages, and he has two of them—in fact he helped me to make it a little longer in life. All night long his telephone speaking tube is ringing. The people believe in him and do not hesitate to call on him when they have ails and pains and aches, and he knows how to go get them. He knows how to fight life destroying .bugs and keep the worms from getting fat off of your body. Off from New Orleans to the place where I am this week writing you this letter, and I hope when these few lines come to hand they may find you well and doing well. I am here with Bishop Willam Alfred Fountain, the wizard of the A. M. E. bench of bishops, the scholar and the leader of men. He is at the top and is doing a great work. The A. M. E. church selected some strong men at the last general conference, and I think some more will be selected to associate with them. There is Rev. John A. Gregg, president of Wilberforce University, the scholar, the leader of men. He is a man who would give dignity and tone to the bench, and then there is the Rev. Dr. T. J. Wilson, of Wilmington, N. C., another scholar and leader of men, and J. A. Lindsay, of Savannah, Ga., a scholar and leader, and I must not forget Dr. Mance, of South Carolina, the president of Allen University, and a man of affairs. Rev. Nelson, of Memphis wants to return to Africa and to Africa he must go if he is elected Bishop and I can see no reason why he should not be, but he should be placed on the bench. I have "mentioned before the Rev. C. M. Tanner, of Chicago, who was to give me a fountain pen to write about the things I see when I visited his church in Chicago, but he told me that I had a pen and that was enough. I am proud to say that I have one, and I am using it. I have one which was presented me by a man who is on his road to the episcopacy of his church and there is no power to keep him out, and that man is Rev. J. C. Anderson, who in the midst of persecution has stuck to his church, and could not be chased out by any one who sought honors. He stood his ground, and you cannot keep such a man down. He has the training in keeping with his ability and is a wonderful preacher. At present he is a Pittsburgh pastor. I have in mind to talk to you about the hospital in Tuskegee, but wait until I am feeling just a little better. I am on the Lord's side and I am trying to render service. I am now headed for Florida, and you may write to me care Prof. N. W. Collier, A. street, St. Augustine, Florida. I think I am going to bring this letter to a stop, yet I am not through with it. I have so many things in my mind. I have not said a word about Dr. S. J. Johnson, and others, and then I have been made to feel so small by one of the greatest educated men in the world, Prof. Robert E. Lee, principal of the high school of Thibodaux, and this high school extends to the seventh grade. He is just educated until he walks education, and so self-important with his much learning that he does not even consider a common fellow sufficient to ask him to sit down. Some day I am going to be with them educated fellows, and I guess my education will just make me a damphule, and then you must get out of my way. We must keep up and must get all the education possible. I did not know that we had such a learned man in the race as Prof. Lee. I think Goldsmith must have been talking about him when he said "And still they gazed and still they wonder how such a small head grew to carry all that he knew." When I get mine I am going to have the big head, and I hope it will not treat me like it treats horses, for when a horse gets the big head they kill him declaring that he cannot be cured. I had the pleasure of meeting one of the teachers, Mrs. Gaines, who is modest, refined and cultured. It is nice to meet her, and she is the one who should be the principal. Now here I am about to start again. I am going back and read my paper and see what I put on there for 1924. I must keep all of my resolutions. I have an application for some one wanting to be my private secretary and nurse. I have filed the application and will take it up in its order.

Bordeaux literally means "the dwelling on the water"; borda, "a dwelling." The French havre, "a harbor," is descended from the old French havle, originally hable, which is derived from the Low-Latin habulum, a word of teutonic origin related to the English haven. In Portuguese, Lisboa is derived from the old name Olisipo, supposed to contain the phenician word hippo, a "fortress," or "walled town." The name Madrid is usually explained from the Arabic madarat, a "town." But the early form Mazerit, HON. JAMES F. FARDY HON. JAMES H. POAGE City Attorney of Chicago who is to thousands of people in all p and he would make an ideal judge of the Municipal Court of given in the chronicle of Sampiro, points to materita, a "small wood" or "copse," a diminutive of materia, as the etymology. Portugal, the Portus Galliae of the Romans, literally, "the gates of Gaul," as approached from the Medi- terranean and Atlantic Seas. Spain, the English of Hispania, founded upon the punic span, "the rabbit," owing to the number of wild rabbits found in this country. 2. Europe is noteworthy for its extremely long coast line, about 20,000 miles, contributing to its commercial importance, for the predominance of low plains constituting two-thirds of its area, and for the absence of deserts, being the only continent without such regions. It possesses some of the richest Islands in the world, and its islands and peninsulas combined comprise about one-third of the total area. Of all land masses in the same latitude, Europe possesses the mildest and most genial climate. 0040140 3. The largest glacier in the world is the Muir, in Alaska; the largest in Europe is the Justeldals Brae, in Norway. --- 4. The first king of all England was Egbert, who reigned from 827 to 837 A. D. 5.

Few people recognize more than a dozen roadside flowers, the commonest trees and shrubs, a few kinds of birds and insects. To be able to distinguish the call notes of birds seems to most persons a miraculous gift. The few who know enough of nature to be guides for a few hours' walk have knowledge that many others deeply long for and that they would pay handsomely to get. "Youth's Companion." Troy, Ala.—Rev. Sam Ozark, aged 98 years, who has been a Methodist preacher for the past 75 years, it is said, attracted much attention in this section last week while visiting relatives and friends.

A farmer sold a horse to a cavalry officer, warranting the animal to be a first-rate war-horse. Some time after wards the officer came to the farmer in a rage, and said: "You call this animal a good war-horse? Why, there's not a bit of go in him! A good war-horse indeed!" "So he is," replied the farmer. "Sure, he'd rather die than run!" A cable ship of the Eastern Telegraph company, searching for a broken cable between St. Helena and Cape Town, found that the ocean bed has risen two and a quarter miles since 1899. When the original soundings were taken in that year the chart showed a depth of three miles.
