The letter, which is signed by James Weldon, Secretary of the Advancement Association, is as follows: Dear Mr. President: "Colored voters throughout the United States, but especially in the North, are waiting for an unequivocal statement from you as head of the Republican party on the Ku Klux Klan. Until the present moment it has remained for leaders of the Democratic party to disavow domination by and affiliation with the Ku Klux Klan and to denounce its principles and procedures. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with 100,000 members, white and colored, feels its voices not merely the feeling of colored Americans but of Americans of whatever creed or race NORTHERNERS ENDORSE SOUTH'S INTERRACIAL PLAN "One of Finest Expressions of Christianity," Say Methodist Bishops Springfield, Mass—The Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in their recent address to the General Conference in session in Springfield, gave their warm endorsement to the movement recently developed in the South for the adjustment of race relations by the methods of conference and co-operation. This is significant as an indication of the growing understanding and sympathy which is binding the different sections of the country together.

"The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is moved to make this request of you especially in view of the situation in Indiana where the Republican nominee for governor was given and publicly accepted the endorsement and the votes of the Klan forces and where, furthermore, Senator James Watson from that state, an acknowledged administration leader, not only offered his support to the Klan candidate, but did so without by any word or phrase deprecating the nature of that candidate's backing. "We especially submit that the issue involved transcends a mere few votes in the coming election; although on the basis of the Klan issue, we are informed, colored people, breaking their historical allegiance to the Republican party, are prepared to vote against Klan candidates by whatever party nominated. It is not, however, from the point of view of vote-getting that a repudiation of the Klan should come from the Republican party. That repudiation should be made clear and decisive on the basis of the Klan's hypocrisy and the violence, disorder and the race and religious hatred known to be an inevitable product of the organization and activity of that body." widely worked out in the South. The Interracial Commission referred to was organized in Atlanta at the close of the war and now has state and local committees to the number of 800 in thirteen Southern states. The Bishops' statement referred to is as follows: "One of the finest expressions of our Christianity of today is the effort of many groups and agencies in various sections of our country for the promotion of good will, mutual confidence, and brotherly co-operation between the races. These movements to bridge the chasm of interracial misunderstanding and hate meet our hearty approval and are worthy of our sympathy and co-operation. The work has not been carried forward without much prayer and the leadership of [Name] Him whose great commandment is to love thy neighbor as thyself. Among the agencies which we should heartily support are the University Race Commission, composed of southern educators; the Commission on Interracial Co-operation, composed of both races, men and women; and the Commission on Interracial Relations of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ. We call our people to associate themselves actively with these agencies and other organizations for the promotion of peace and good will toward men everywhere, so that there shall be less friction and more co-operation, less suspicion and more confidence, less hatred and more Christian love." N.A.A.C.P. SECRETARY MAKES STATEMENT ON DYER ANTI- LYNCHING BILL Would Prevent Bill Being Made Political Football in Coming New York.—James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, has made the following statement on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill: The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is still on the calendar as House Bill No. 1. The resolution for a rule to make it a special order of business is still in the House Committee on Rules. No report on the Resolution has yet been made. With sufficient pressure a rule could have been secured, we believe, from the Committee, and it is possible that the Bill might have been jammed through the House before the adjournment of Congress. But this course was not pursued for the following reasons: THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, JUNE 7, 1924 HON. FREDERIC R. DE YOUNG Photo by Walinger 1. The plans made by the leaders contemplated the adjournment of Congress the early part of June. 2. We realized that there was absolutely no possibility of getting any action on the Bill in the Senate before the adjournment of Congress, even if it had been passed by the House. This was because of the disorganized condition of the Senate due to investigations, etc. We felt that the passage of the Bill by the House and the adjournment of Congress before the Senate could act would have the effect of making the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill a factional political issue and a bait for colored votes without any definite assurance of action by the Senate on the re-assembling of Congress. We shall move strongly for passage of this legislation by both houses immediately upon the re-convening of Congress. NEGRO COMMISSION BILL REPORTED TO THE HOUSE President to Appoint Two Whites and Three Colored to Look After Welfare of Colored Race Washington, D.

The commission, if finally created by Congress, is to be located in Washington D.C. NATIONAL NEGRO DEMOCRATS SELECT NEW YORK FOR MEET Preston News Service.

NEGRO ON DEMOCRATIC TICKET AT BALTIMORE Baltimore, Md.—While Indiana Republicans cut loose from Negro support last week and lined up with the Ku Klux Klan, Democrats came out and nominated John Blankett for legislature from this city. Says Blankett: "I belong to a party which will not put a man on the ticket and then knife him like Republicans knifed two colored candidates for legislature last fall. I will want votes of my people, but I did not need them to get the nomination."

The daughter told a story of having been brought from the South, about a year ago, she and her sister, who is married, namely Mary and Frances, and being introduced into such a life as gambling, selling moonshine and debauchery of the worst kind. She also said that her father would wrangle with her about trying to be decent and her defiance when asked to sell moonshine to his customers. Also that white women would frequent the flat and he would abuse his daughters in their presence, until one day, after a very hot argument, when she refused to wait on his customers, he ordered her to leave his home and never show up.

GIRL OF TWELVE YEARS MISTREATED BY YOUTH OF NINETEEN They Were Sent to the Juvenile Court Shrimp Johnson, a boy of nineteen years of age, was charged with having mistreated Katy Lee, a girl twelve years of age. The parents of the boy and girl were in court and the mother, of the girl, Mrs. Lee, was willing to withdraw the charge, as she explained that her health was very poor and she wanted to leave the city at once. The Court was reluctant to do this as they considered the future of the child. Johnson, who is only nineteen, but has a wife and child, denies that he took advantage of the girl, but it was charged in the bill that he took her without her consent from her mother's home, to a vacant flat, and there assaulted her. The mother seemed afraid that the girl would be taken away from her but was unwilling to have the boy prosecuted further, this was apparent the rush to leave the city. The State's attorney insisted that this boy should be punished, if not, he would mistreat other girls, in the same way he had Katy Lee. The Court finally decided to turn them over to Juvenile authorities, in spite of the protests of each parent. THE BROAD AX In this city since July 15th, 1899, without missing one single issue.

COLORED BATHING BEACH PROPOSED (Lincoln News Service) Washington.—A bathing beach will be established in the Tidal Basin for the special benefit of the colored people of the District, if the necessary funds are appropriated by Congress, it is announced. An appropriation of $25,000 has been available for a colored bathing beach in the District for the past two years. Various sites were chosen by Col. Sherrill, the officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, but none of them were acceptable to the representatives of the colored people. One of these was at the south end of Columbia Island near the Virginia shore, and another was at the Virginia end of the Francis Scott Key bridge. Finally, after appeals for the location of the colored bathing beach in the Tidal Basin on the shore opposite the existing bathing beach for white people, the Secretary of War has agreed to the proposition provided Congress increases the available appropriation to an amount sufficient for the purpose. He has presented the matter to the chairmen of the District of Columbia congressional committees. DELIGHTFUL SONG RECITAL BY MRS. MARTHA B. ANDERSON Monday evening, despite the downpour of rain, a large sized audience heartily greeted Mrs. Martha B.

CHARLES E. STUMP, THE REGULAR OLD-TIME TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS MANAGED TO TRAMP HIS WAY TO DALLAS, TEXAS. THE LATE JAMES ALOYSIUS QUINN He honorably served as City Oil Inspector under the administration of Mayor Carter H. Harrison. The Colored race had no better friend in this wonderful city than James A. Quinn. Dallas, Texas.—Now you see where I am this week. I have sent you several letters from Louisville, Ky., and I am of the opinion that I impressed you that I was there and there to stay. I sent you a letter from Poro college, and I told you about the big time they were having there in St. Louis for the orphans. The people of St. Louis think much of themselves, and I believe at times think that they are the only pebbles on the beach. I don't care a straw about what they think, for they have been doing things. Mrs. Annie M. Malone has placed St. Louis on the map, and when you speak of Poro you think of the city, and if you speak of the city of course you think of Poro. She is a wonderful woman, and she is doing things that will count and she is placing our people on the shelf in the commercial world. Poro college has are this reached the million dollar mark, and we should feel proud of this. We must be like the other race, measure us all by the aggressive few. We are lifting our own, and all that Mrs. Malone is, she is not indebted to the people of the other race, but just our own people. They have lifted her up, and take away our people and she never would have been heard of in this world. The common people are the people who make great men great. They are in the majority, and they spend their money. They pay their debts, and are ever ready to make their contribution for racial uplift. They build the churches, the school houses, and they are the makers of real home life. I looked around St. Louis, went to the Argus office, and believe me honey they have one more plant. When I see my people doing things, I just get so happy, I must shout right out on the street, in the alley, or wherever the spirit strikes me. If you don't want me to shout then keep me away from the wheel of progress. Don't let the spirit come near me, for if it strikes me I am going to speak right out, and any time I don't serve my Jesus, and praise God for success, the stuff is all off, and you had just as well say so. I am not going to keep THE LATE JAMES He honorably served as City C tration of Mayor Carter H had no better friend in th A. Quinn. Thursday morning at 10:30 o'clock, James A. Quinn, who was for many years one of the leading Democratic politicians residing on the North Side, in fact he was one of the best-known leaders of his party in this city, closed his eyes in death at his lovely home, 674 N. La Salle street. For more than thirty years he and his family resided in the same home which was so dutifully presided over by the wife of his youth, Mrs. Quinn. A severe stroke of paralysis was the direct cause of his death. The three specialists were unable to save him. His loving wife, Mrs. Hanna Quinn, and his only son, Mr. Arthur Quinn, were constantly at his bedside until he passed away. Mr. Quinn served as city oil inspector under the second Carter H. Harrison administration, at which time he was at the height of his power. Several years later he lost control of the old 22nd Ward to the late John F. O'Malley. During the last mayoralty campaign Mr. Quinn lined up with the forces behind Mayor William any of the spirits down. I am not ashamed to own my Lord nor to sing His praises. Praise the Lord. I had the pleasure of coming in touch with the Heroines, of Jericho. They were celebrating their 50th anniversary, and honey it was one more great big meeting. They certainly did put the big pot in the little one and got off of the puppy's tail. Here is a female family organization that has existed fifty years, and they celebrated their anniversary. The royal grand matrons who were living, about 17 of them were present. The Grand Court had them to come from Seattle, Washington, Denver, Colo, Pueblo, Colo., Chester, Pennsylvania, and all the other places around and about. Miss Zenobia H. Shoulders, of St. Louis, is the present Most Ancient Grand Matron, and it is the time in the history of the order that a single woman has been thus honored, and she was honored only because she won the honor. She is refined, cultured, and well educated. She is educated up to the present spot, and a woman who knows the world of letters, of science and art. She lives in the hearts of her people and I felt real proud of her. I had the pleasure of coming in contact with a working woman among women, Mrs. C. R. McDowell, of Hannibal, Mo. She is foremost in work among the Missouri Baptists—in fact she is connected up with the Baptists of America and she is just doing things, and don't you forget it. I was soon off for Kansas City, and when I stepped off of the iron horse carriage, I found the Rev. Dr. Edward Wittenburg, pastor of Allen Chapel, with his automobile car carriage, awaiting there to tote me to his home. I tell you that is getting up when you can be met by a near bishop and he totes your bags and other' traveling outfit. I say near Bishop, for in 1928, he is to step into the harness, and he is a worthy young man at that. He has won all that he enjoys. He is now on his way to the episcopacy, and I hope to see him landed. I was indeed sorry to find Mrs. Wittenberg, in bed, sick, and had been ever since her husband left for general conference, but they did not notify him. She has labored by the ALOYSIUS QUINN Inspector under the adminis- . Harrison. The Colored race is wonderful city than James E. Dever and regained much of the prestige he had lost. Mr. Quinn was 70 years old at the time of his death and up until he was stricken down he was very active all the time. Mr. Quinn attended the Kentucky Derby be in the best of health. Mr. Quinn was born in Worcester, Mass., and came to Chicago when he was a boy. He has resided for more than fifty years in the old Twenty-second ward and for more than forty years has been a dominant figure in Democratic politics. Mr. Quinn was one of the best friends of the colored race in this city and without price he was always doing something to help or aid worthy colored people. For more than 20 years he has been a constant supporter of this newspaper and we sadly join with the rest of his hosts of true friends and lament his moving on into the next world where the gods will look upon him with favor and bid him to repose in peace until the end of time. M. HON. FRANK M. PADDEN side of her husband for years, and I was delighted to see this. I do not know as I can count the children, but they are there, and if they would just line up I could count them and tell you about them. I can now recall four girls and three boys, yet there may be more. She is devoted to the work of her husband, and I could see that he was not himself, because of the illness of his wife. Let us all pray that she will soon be herself again. The children all received me and made much over my being there. They are all children of their parents, and if you are liked by mother and father, you have the love of all the children. Kansas City is still in the same place, and continues to do business. I wish I could just write a whole letter about Kansas City, but time will not permit me to do this, and if I do not you will forgive me I am sure. 'I had the pleasure of going to the home of Bishop W. T. Vernon, and found him as busy as could be planning his work. You see he has returned to America now and is in charge of Michigan, Canada and Bermuda. He is going to make good and his administration will count for something in this world. We thank God for his life. I have made up my mind at some time to devote a whole letter to Bishop Vernon and his accomplishments in South Africa. He is succeeded in South Africa by that scholar, by that Prince of men, Bishop John A. Gregg. He is now winding up his work at Wilberforce University, and will soon be on his way to South Africa. He will soon be away from Dear Bishop Joshua H. Jones. Your Bishop Jones has fought him like hash-e-square-lull, but in the face of it all Gregg went over the top and is now a full fledged bishop. I do not want to revive the fight, but now the other fight is on, and that is to select a successor to Bishop Gregg. Bishop Jones thought that his son should be president, and now that there is full vacancy, let us see if the trustees will join him in that thought. I have no objection to this election. I am glad that Gregg will close up his work, and then turn over all keys. For four years he will be away from us. Now, what are you doing for the big meeting in Cleveland? I hope that you are getting ready to go. There is going to be one more big Baptist meeting over there. The National Baptist Sunday School and B.Y.P.U. Congress will have full sway. We are going to take charge of Cleveland just after the republicans turn it loose. We will get there on the 17th, and open up on the 18th. Can you make it convenient to do so? Be on hand if you can. It will be worth the trip. I have been to Tulsa, Okla. This is the first time that I have been to Tulsa since they had the big picnic there, and you would hardly know the place. Wonderful changes have been made. They were having the exercises of the public school there. It was a big thing, and Dr. Joseph A. Booker, president of the Arkansas Baptist college, delivered the address. He spoke and delivered an address worthy of the occasion. He said many good things to the young people who are to go out in life. He is a man of experience and a ripe scholar. He has been in this educational work so long until he knows how to talk education. He knows what to say to young people and counsel of Chicago who was one and one of the Judges of the art of Chicago he speaks right out in church when he opens his mouth. The Rev. Dr. P. W. DeLyles is pastor of the A.M.E. church there and he is doing some real good work. I saw many people during my short stay there, and here I am today, at the home of the Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, pastor of Macedonia Baptist church, and one of the secretaries of the National Baptist convention. You may expect to hear many things in the future. I am not going to tell you all I have in mind. I will be in the meeting of the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias this week. Wish you could be in Fort Worth with me. Then I am going to Texarkana, Shreveport, and the Lord will be able to tell you the rest. I will have to bring this letter to a stop. CHARLES E. STUMP. THE QUESTIONNAIRE By Miss Louise Bond 1.

MANY COLORED PEOPLE ARRESTED FOR MAKING MOONSHINE AND BROUGHT BEFORE THE BAR OF JUSTICE AT THE 48TH POLICE COURT. YOUNG MARRIED COLORED BOY ARRESTED FOR MISTREATING A TWELVE-YEAR-OLD GIRL By MISS PEACH BLOSSOM About 12:10 Tuesday morning, Officer Walsh was called to 3310 South State street, to place under arrest a man who was drunk, and acting very disorderly. The man who was J. S. Hunter, and crippled in both hands, told the officer that he was very "far along." He took him to Stanton avenue station and locked him up. He testified Wednesday, before Judge Bugee, that the man gave him no further trouble after being placed under arrest. He was dismissed. OFFICER GETS APRICOT BRANDY FROM MAN The Case was Dismissed as Officer had no Seach Warrant Many times in the last few weeks, where many cases of policy moonshine, and beer cases have figured strongly, they were dismissed by the court as the officers who obtained the articles, did so without first procuring a search warrant. They see things that in their vision look "suspicious" as loungers around, looking more than happy, bottles passed every once in a while, and "in they go to investigate." Some times many cases of whisky and beer are found, but the parties must according to the law be dismissed, because there must be procured a search warrant before entering the premises of any one, in the attempt to search for anything. Sad to say, but very good news to Henry Wilson and Andrew Jones, who were dismissed before the Wabash avenue court. Wednesday morning, where the Officer had found in their place of business many quarts of "Apricot Brandy" as was labeled by them. CASE DISMISSED BECAUSE OFFICER HAD NO SEARCH WARRANT Inmates Engaged in "Policy" Game J. Sliigmore, was alleged to have been taking from the telephone the baseball score. He had his figures before him on a well planned piece of paper, and was filling in the vacant blocks to which he intended to transfer to his board. He maintained that he was innocent of any wrong doing, despite the fact that later the Officer discovered under his bar, several boxes of figures, which evidently was used in the game. The Officer, had no search warrant, the second count was of no avail. The Judge kindly admonished the defendant to bring flis money with him next time as he would need it, but would give him the benefit of the doubt. ```markdown ``` MERITT DHEXC2 HON. OSCAR WOLFF The best Coroner that Cook Co day and night to assist to Robert Franks. The best Coroner that Cook County has ever had, who worked day and night to assist to hunt down the slayers of young Robert Franka. HELD OVER TO GRAND JURY FOR ROBBERY Richard Davis, was held over to the Grand Jury, under bonds of $10,000, for having attempted to rob a store belonging to M. Stein, and also shooting Mr. Stein, before he could summon aid. Davis alleged that he had no weapon in his pocket, and that he did not attempt to hold up the store, but stated that the facts were: He had just-finished his work, at 47th and Vincenten, a theatre, where he was employed, and went in to Mr. Stein's store, with the intent of buying stockings, but after giving the proprietor a $2.00 bill, was dissatisfied with them, and asked for his money back. To this he refused, and alleged that he picked up a stick to hit him, telling him to leave his store. In the tussel that ensued, a gun went off, from the rear. The gun of the boy was found by the Officer, and also was confirmed by other members of the family. WOMAN ARRESTED CHARGE WITH HAVING OBTAINED MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENCES On the 14th of April, 1924, Mary Reynolds applied to Mrs. Lily Nuby, who resides at 4641 Langley avenue, to place a deposit on a flat. She placed $10 with the woman and was told that her flat would be ready in a day or so. When the time expired, and she prepared to move, first going to see that the house was clear, was told by Mrs. Nuby that she didn't know when it would be clear. She called on the proprietor and was told that the house would not be ready in a month. Mrs. Reynolds asked that her $10 be returned so that she might get other quarters. She told her that she never refunded money. Mrs. Nuby, openly told the court, that she did not think that she was entitled to get her money back, and to this retort the court fined her $25 and costs. FOUND MAKING A LITTLE WINE FOR HOME USE Sixty-four quarts of wine was obtained by an officer, and produced in the Wabash avenue court, Wednesday morning, from Carl Hudson and William Bell, who testified that the little 64 quarts were just for "Home use." They were asked by the Court just how long it took them to dispose of that amount, but they were not so sure whether it would take ten days or a week. Their attorney wished to procure an order to get the wine back, but was told that he could not give such an HERITET DHE42 County has ever had, who worked, hunt down the slayers of young THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, JUNE 7, 1924 M. H. H. He stood high in the estimation of the leading white and colored lawyers in this city. In the past he served as the President of the Cook County Bar Association, and his death is mourned by his thousands of friends. Wednesday afternoon at 4:30, at the Provident Hospital, Attorney Willis E. Mollison, who was one of the most prominent members of the Chicago Bar, at the same time commanding the highest respect of all the judges of the various courts in this city, county, state, and the judges of the United States Federal Courts. Very suddenly closed his eyes in death. Diabetes and erysipelas were the immediate cause of his untimely death. At the time of his passing, his constant and devoted wife, Mrs. Mollison and the other members of the family were sorrowfully gathered around his bedside. His remains were removed from the hospital to his late home at 4630 Prairie ave. Dr. R. C. Giles and Dr. H. R. Smith did everything in their power to save and prolong his useful and influential life. He was 65 years old at his death. He was born at Mayersville, Mis- order, but if they thought they had such right, they might replevin it. CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPONS Harry Washington, Robt. Cooper, Jerome Lewis and H. Freedman, were arrested Tuesday night, for carrying concealed weapons. It was later found that the gun, belonged to Freeman. A Police Star and several other articles were found on their person. Evidence was produced to show that they had previously in the evening, gotten into an argument with A. Gangler, who was also an inmate of the house where the crap game was going on. He was cut severely on the neck and wrists and thirty-two stiches were taken on his neck. Freeman was fined $100 and costs the others $25 each. YOUTH WALKING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF OTHERS To show you that the youths are walking in the footsteps of the older people, and that they try in every way to imitate them, was proven Wednesday morning, when a youth, 16 years of age, by the name of Willie Grant, was sent to the Juvenile Court for carrying a gun. He was boldly carrying it around the streets with him and exhibiting his ability to take care of himself in an emergency. Crime must be reduced. FINDS LARGE QUANTITY OF MOONSHINE IN HOME Percy Kenny was the proud possessor of quite a quantity of liquor. He also had a partner, who also was proud of the fine stock of stimulants. Officer Kelly invaded the place and without a search warrant, started in pursuit of whisky, greatly to their chagrin. *Before Judge Bugee, Wednesday morning, the evidence was suppressed as the officer had no search warrant and did not see a sale made or any other damaging evidence, sufficient to warrant a search without a warrant. This makes it bad for our officers, who try to maintain order and re- THE LATE WILLIS E. MOLLISON high in the estimation of the leading lawyers in this city. In the past he served at the Cook County Bar Association mourned by his thousands of friends. At the Villis most cagcoiding edges city, the Very Dia-issippi in 1859, where he worked on a farm, he was taught how to read and write by a northern white lady, who became greatly interest in him. He removed to Vicksburg, Mississippi in 1892. At an early age he attended Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn. In 1878 he entered Oberlin College, but he was unable to graduate from it, owing to the fact that he was compelled to manage his mother's plantation. He was a noted newspaper writer. For many years prior to locating in this city some seven or eight years ago, he was very popular with all of the leading white and colored citizens and politicians in his native state. Several times he was selected as a delegate to Republican National Conventions and always cut a wide swath in all public affairs. Mr. Mollison was a lecturer of great ability and eminence and was well versed on all historical subjects. Frequently he addressed the Anthropological Society which meets in the old Masonic Tem- spectability throughout the city, but no man can have his constitutional rights taken from him. Um-hum. ARRESTED FOR DISORDERLY CONDUCT A. Johnson, a boy of 21 years, was given a reprimand by the Court. Wednesday morning, about being seen about places that boys of his age should know nothing of. When questioned by the officer, he was very defiant and asked him, "if he knew who he was, anyway." He was dismissed but warned never to be seen loitering around disorderly places.

She pleaded tearfully for mercy, adding that she would never touch liquor again as long as she lived; that she would do anything the Court would ask. She pleaded that she was a widow and wanted to make a date for."washing clothes this morning." The Court, in its effort to stop some of the disorderly conduct and drunkenness, that is growing so rapidly gave her a small fine as punishment.

If you want anything you must go after it, not in a half-hearted way, but with a determination that will brook no interference. The one thing that you may as well understand right in the beginning is that you will get no more than you can, willing to pay for, but you can have almost anything you want, when you want it bad enough. —A.

The native Indians regard these strange creatures as charms of great value. When up into as many pieces as there are warriors in the village and each man rubs a piece on his arrows under the assurance that his arm will be infallible. The Successful Men The men I have seen succeed best in life have been cheerful and hopeful men, who went about their business with a smile on their faces and took the chances and changes of their normal life like men, facing rough and smooth alike, as it came, and so found the truth of the old proverb, that "Good times and bad times and all times pass over."-Kingsley.

Lewis; Assistant Secretary, Mr. Charles W. Settles; treasurer, Mr. David A. McGowan; Musical Director, Mr. Edward Hagan; Stage Manager, Mr. William H. Jackson. Too much credit cannot be given, to the members of the Amateur Minstrel Club, for so loyally standing by the Old Folks' Home and after many years of hard labor on their part, they have at last succeeded, in freeing it from all debts. The fact, that the members of the Amateur Minstrel Club, always conducts their annual show and dance, open and above board, and by never attempting to rake off any easy money for themselves, they have succeeded in winning the solid endorsement of the charitable inclined citizens of Chicago. Get Busy * Get busy! Today, not tomorrow, is the accepted time. If you would be a success, be one. No one is stopping you. Your hands and feet are not tied. You need not wait till some one drives up in a 40-horse power automobile and invites you to ride with him to fame and glory. Hard work and a little common sense will do the trick. Get busy!

Origin of Tattooing Origin of Tattooing It is impossible to say when and where the custom of tattooing began, but it is of very ancient origin. In the tombs near Thebes were found painted representations of white men with tattooed bodies, and in his commentaries Caesar writes of Britons being tattooed.

I gritted my teeth, pulled my- self out of my rut and here I am, hale and hearty at elghty-nine.” “I was a rabid Confederate in those days,” he grinned. “From camp to chmp I wandered, begging them to let me enlist. I was a cussed-looking ‘specimen of humanity, twenty-six years old, welghing less than 110 pounds. . “Bvery doctor who examined me threw up his hand's and predicted that Td die within a month. ‘Wey always handed me my hat and told me to get out of camp before I fell to pieces. “Twas the most down-hearted chap in the world. I didn't care for any- thing. Life was all shadows. Said I to myself one day: ‘Look a-here young fellow, you are a fool. Don't let those fellows tell you you'se going to die. Fool “em. And I did. “How dla I do it? Well, I was in an awfol rut, I lived in Fatrville, N. ©, and life was very dull. I decided I wasn't so sick as I was lacking in Initiative, “So I set out to seek adventure. 1 sailed for the British West Indies. It was during the Civil war, and we had to run the blockade. It was great fun. It gave me a taste of adventure, so I did it over again. “It was then I decided tt was ad- venture I craved. I wasn’t so sick physteally as I was starved in ‘spirit. So I settled down in the West Indies, looking for more excitement. “It was strange how I picked up. In @ short thme I was weighing 180 pounds. I had been a light eater, but my meals began to agree with me. “Then I was struck down with yel- low fever. Here was another blow. I guess I would have passed out, if I hadn't cultivated a sense of humor and a willingness to fight. “As soon as I got over my illness I pulled up for England, running the blockade again. Later, when I came back to America, I struck out for the Indian territory and played around with the Choctaw Indians when the West was really wild and woolly. “So here I am, eighty-nine, still en- Joying life."—Philadelphia Bulletin. Fly Away, Birdie An Indianapolis school teacher “de cided “to take one of her women friends to the theater. As she was anxious to have good places she re- quested “two end seats” when she went to the box office to make her pur- chases. ‘The request was taken literal- ly and each seat was on the aisle, one In front of the other, When the two women found that they were seated in ‘such an unsatisfactory fashion the teacher began to wonder whether some way out of the difficulty could not be | found. Sitting next to her was a man. Beyond him was a woman and some children, but as the man sald nothing to the others she decided that they were not together. He, being alone, doubtless would be willing to exchange his seat for the one directly behind the teacher, then the latter and her friend could sit side by side.
