HOUSTON, Tex., Dec. 21. The Fifteenth New York and the Eighth Illinois will form one brigade. The New Yorkers' new number is the Three Hundred and Sixty-ninth National Guard infantry. When word of the attack came, we knew that the Three Hundred and Sixty-ninth and Three Hundred and Seventh, formerly the Eighth regiment of Chicago, III., were to make up one brigade. General A. I. Blunding, who will visit here for inspection, the eastern troops will not join the Chicago lads until the order is received here for inspection. Till the arrival of the new order the Three Hundred and Seventieth had been attached to the Thirty-third division. They were part of Brigadier General A. I. Blunding, although they took no command, although they took no maneuvers. Many of the Chicago men feared they would be used only for guard duty and when the new command concerning the new order from the WWI commandment there was refolling in the camp. Near Full War Strength When Colonel Denison's men reached here they were closer to war strength than any other Illinois regiment. Since many mills have been rapidly filling without a Army officers and now the roster is up to the required strength, 3,600 men. The men are in fine physical trim and have the lowest sick record in the case. The Three Hundred and Sixty-ninth is famous throughout the cast as the Three Hundred and Seventeenth is in the west. Both these regiments had been used only as regiments of color in the Guard of the United States. The old Eighth Illinois was, of course, the proudest, as all of its officers were born in Baltimore. The New York boys are officered by white men, one of whom is a millionaire. Officers to Remain According to the present plans, all officers in the Chicago regiment will retain their commands, as Colonel Denison has made no recommendation in the companies will be the shortage in the companies will be the men from the officers' training camp. Major General George Bell Jr. has expressed himself as highly pleased with the good conduct of the Three Hundred and Seventieth.

Spanish Friends Anxious for Him to Head City Government of Barcelona SATURDAY FOR M Spanish Friends to Head City of Bar Barcelona, Spain, Dec. 21.—The friends of John Arthur Johnson have offered his name as a candidate to enter the mayoral campaign to be staged in the near future. On account of the popularity of Jack in the province it is reported that he will be an easy winner, and local politicians have urged the ex-champion to enter the election to be held in March.

Freitas was on a ship sunk by a sub- Bundy's Bond Fixed by Court at $24,000 Bondsman Must Qualify for $48,000; Appeal Is Filed for Other Defendants ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 21.—Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, the prominent East St. Louis dentist, who has been in the Belleville fall for several weeks, charged with murder in connection with the killing of Coppedge and Wodley during the July riots, will be released from jail on bond if he can get a bondsman who can qualify for the sum of $48,000. There is no doubt but that the bond was set at this staggering figure simply to make it exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, for Dr. Bundy to gain his freedom, pending the trial. The first of these charges of murder at $10,000 was an additional $2,000 for each of two conspiracy charges, making the total of $24,000 in all. The bonds are to be returnable to the March term of the Monroe County Circuit Court, to which Bundy has been given a chance of venue. Many person think that the authorities have given further evidence of their intention to make it as hard as possible. The bond asked Dr. Bundy as so far in excess of that known in any other of these cases that there is no comparison. The colored people feel this thing is unjust, not merely because of the fact Dr. Bundy is the sufferer, but because the apparent one-sided nature of the justice which has been molded into a case of cases and results of a crucial character, it is not the results which should have been secured should have given more severe penal- Appeal Filed Through Judge Brown of Chicago, one of the leading lawyers in the west, the transcript for an appeal in the case of the first trial has been filed. It is the intention of the "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People" to fight for these men, to give the defendants the advantage of the very best for this purpose, and while the re-fer this purpose, and while the re-fer the case, be the, the officers are grateful to those who have rallied to their assistance. People Apathetic It is difficult to understand at this point what alls the Colored people of the South have in common with their own welfare, or else they do not appreciate how seriously these riot trials affect their personal inter-ests. If a reasonable measure of justice can be secured in these cases, and the hydra-headed monster, prejudice, dehumanization, and vicious victory would exert a wonderfully healthful influence on public sentiment that we should be generous in our contributions to this cause. THE "FUN" IN FUNSTON St. Louis, Mo. Dec. 21. The Boosters' Club, which has been raising funds for the Boosters' boys at Camp Funston, under the leadership of Col. Charles Mills and W.

He says, "At the dock in Barcelona we were greeted by an enormous fellow, who smiled all over himself and bade us him a kiss. I felt, recognize him as Jack Johnson, here we recognize too good for us. He took us to his hotel, kept us there until we could get passage out and arranged a boxing match. We received receipts of that show must have amounted to something. There were more than fifty of us and we each received $25, which is equal to a whole lot more than that in Spain. "Johnson seems to be the prince of Barcelona. Wherever he spread that big message, he and they look on him as a sort of strange Hercules. They would make him king of Spain. I believe, if he had money in his pocket, content to coin money out of his safe. Official notice has not been received that Johnson has accepted the political laurels offered him, but he has received letters from his American friends urging him to run for the office. WILL HELP WIDOWS OF UNFORTUNATE SOLDIERS Washington, D. C., Dec. 21.—The National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee, which has headquarters in this city, at 1105 You street, and of which Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University is president and J. C. Napier and Ralph W. Tyler, treasurer and secretary, respectively, have issued the following statement relative to its intention of providing relief for the families of Colored soldiers executed at Ft. Sam Houston last week: "No calamity in many years has so depressed the Colored people of this country as the execution of the thirteen soldiers of the Twenty-fourth U. S. Infantry at Ft. Sam Houston, Tex., last week, and the sentencing of forty-one others to life imprisonment. It was a tragedy that could not but help to cut deep into our hearts. While at this time we are not questioning the right of the government to inflict so severe and summary punishment upon men who before had rendered valiant service to the country while wearing the uniform of an American soldier, and while we do not purpose to waver in our loyalty to the only country we know, we feel that it is the innocent who must suffer most; that the families of these executed and imprisoned soldiers will soon be suffering for the necessities of life. "Unfortunately, and tragically unfortunate, the government that took these families a support, has no provision for them, left dependent, so it is up to the Race to offer these bereaved families support. The National Colored Soldiers' Companion Corps out of the $2,000,000 being raised for the relief of the dependents of Colored soldiers, it will provide for the relief of the dependents of imprisoned, under sentenced. P. Scott Houston last week, and we call upon the Colored people of the country to one appeal for contributions, giving it the widow's mite. Those thirteen Colored soldiers met death stolically, so statically as John Brown at Harper's Bridge, giving up imprisonment for life met their fate unfinchingly. Now let us cheerfully, loyalty and quickly respond to the apology and needy families. We owe this duty to the men who drank to the drums from the cup of bitterness. Let the colored man, woman and child now show Racial loyalty by responding quickly."

M., Dec. 21.—The College Club is arranging for the best boxing contests ever held on the border, for December 25, the contest is will be "Speedball" byen, who recently put "it over" on rufus Williams and boxing Sundeman (whose brother, John Henry Davis, boxing promoter, who has a reputation of staging the best bouts in the country, says: "Accustomed as he is to speedy journeying, he is a champion of Lotta & Jars, Speedball Hayden—champion middlehead of the U. S. army—has dripped himself into a fray for the coming Christmas day at Columbus, N. M., and has been a fighter for the fans who prove so fortunate as to be able to be in at the "killing." "It will be Hayden's first appearance as defender of the title it took him to win, to win from the grand old Colored mixer—Rufus Williams—before the Columbus Athletic Club, the same where he will too the scratch against the Seventh artillery, of Fort Rife. "Like many of the boxers of the army at this time, Sudenberg is a master of the art of story. He is one of the most promising heavy boys ever shown in houts along the border and he performs like a king, and the battle arranged by telegram will Columbus promoters last night is for fifteen rounds, which will give both FOOTBALL IN THE EAST A Review and Appreciation By Wm. Everett Clark Football has suffered this season, along with other sports, because of the war, but there have been many surprises and much interest taken in the game. Among the surprises was the remarkably strong team developed by Virginia Union University. This year she has developed her strongest team. Another surprise was the weak team training team. Virginia University having been the leading school in football world for a number of years, Howard this season was somewhat disappointing. Virginia University of the Lincoln University team was very gratifying. The "comeback" of the Hampton machine was also gratifying. Virginia Union University of Richmond takes the honor of the championship this year, with Hampton a close friend, Lincoln third and Howard fourth. Judging from the men in action, I should say that the following would make a good all-star team: All-Star Team Taylor.....L. E.....Union Barbour.....L. E.....Lincoln Clayborne.....L. G.....Hampton Mitchell.....R. T.....Union Puryear (capt.) R. B.....Hampton Paxton.....O. G.....Union Higgery.....O. B.....Union Gregory.....L. H B.....Howard Coleman.....R. H B.....Hampton Rimney.....R. E Joseph of Nipsey was very good on the defense, as well as very fast and clever in receiving forward passes. Barbour of Lincoln was the strongest man on the Lincoln line. He was as a player and showed an excellent spirit. Clayborne of Hampton, being a very large man, was unusually strong on the defense, when on the offensive opponents were under him. Young, the best man on the Howard line, was very fast and aggressive. This was shown by he cut through the line and tackled the runner behind the line of scrimmage. Mitchell of Hampton is also a very large man and very strong on defense Purveyor of Union was one of the strongest line men in the game this season. He also had the ability to continually enhance his men. He would succeed as captain of the all-star team. Paxton of Hampton was very strong on defense work and handled passes. Hugues of Union was one of the most brilliant players of the season. His drop-kicking was a great asset, while his punting and throwing of passes was excellent. He was good, too, on open-field running. Gregory of Union was another fast, strong runner. He had the ability to find or make a hole. Good was also a fast man, and a good open-field runner. Rigney of Hampton was the strongest defensive player of the season. His line plumbing was good. In leading an interference he has few equals. Among the other good players of the season there should be men minded, although not as brilliant a player as Hulce, was excellent in his generalship. Wood of Union was also a great asset to his team. He played a strong game. Somerville and Wood, both new players for Hampton, showed wonderful possibilities for the coming seasons. The work of Ridgley of Lincoln was also very good. CINCINNATI BASKET BALL Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 27—Nothing is being left undone for Cincinnati's biggest game. Dec. 28—The team is in strong form and optimism runs high as to the outcome of the Incorporator-Ninth street battle next Wednesday. The players go on a four-game flop but one game, and that to Wabash after two extra periods. Capt. Woodson is jumping better than ever while Gray shows the same stuff that made his name famous in the cast. With Penn, Mason, Sims, Giles, Runkin, Hull, Watson and Brown draw on followers of Ninth street that victory will stay in Cincinnati. On the same night the HI-Y Tigers will tackle the Mercer and the latter team is the white out white out that the management has been able to secure, as the representation of the Maroon and White is the same for both teams and McColeb aver that Mercury will go down on that evening. ROBESON ON ALL-AMERICAN With all the sporting writers singing the praise of Robeson, the big end on the Rutgers team, and all manning him on the first All-American eleven, with the exception of the western papers, who care little for the man of Color, Walter Camp has come out with a statement saying that this big fellow is the best end in the east and is the best end that the east has seen for some sea- PUSSELL VS.

Columbus, Ga., is anxious to from all deserving lightweights! Lee Patterson Vs. Battling Ball At Ill. Dec. 21.—Battling Ball, a national lightweight boxer of St. it matched to battle Lee Patterson, 25, at Alton, Ill. Hayden and Sudenberg ample opportunity to display marathon championship skills. Hayden can go the distance champion proved that against Williams. On past performances and for the distance, Hayden might juggle a torale at test, this is more than likely with the Columbus army boxing fans. "Battling Devich—the boy Sudenberg put away in the Thanksgiving day boxing event," the clever boxer. In fact, he is more of a boxer than a fighter of the durable, sham-band type. But Devich has a skill that the rims. Even in defeat, he showed class when his fight was sniffed by Sudenberg in a bit less than four full rounds. Sudenberg looked heavier than Devich—by several pounds—but the manner in which he beat the Fifth cavalry boy gave him ample opportunity to show speed and other things a middleweight should have to make a capable fighter. "Johnny Sudenberg comes from New York, that is where his famed athlete, the Light Lions of Heppen Square. Among those well known locally, and who have met Johnny are Clarence English and Guy Fort Bliss who claims three victories. "Hayden and Suddenberg are to make this pounds for the light, which will be staged in the evening in the Crystal theater." FUTURE CITY CLUB IS TO REMAIN CLOSED St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 21.—The Future City Athletic Club will remain closed for the first three months, ordered followers of the boxing game will have to be content with the sporting pages of the city papers. Last weekudge judge John Hammond asked Brooklyn Tommy Sullivan, evidently thinking him the greatest offender of all; the result is there will be no more houts at the P. F. C. A. C. more change of heart is forced on his honor. The Future City is the only club here to have closed some of the best Race boxers in the country had to seek new fields. If they find an opportunity they will have to close some of the rolls not a little with his club and all wish him better luck in the future. Donaldson Pitches the White Sox to Victory Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 21—The Los Angeles White Sox opened their win- champion San Pedro Merchants, Donaldson, the All Nations left hinder, and Pete Schenck, of the Cincinnati Reds, hooked up into a grand pitching duel, with the San Diego Giants, who played, striking out sixteen men and allowing 6 hits and 3 runs, while the Sox got to Schenck for 10 hits and 5 runs. The San Pedro club was composed of all big league players. Both Bubba Watson and the White Sox were the White Sox: new infield was com- posed of Mendez, the Cuban, ss, and Mallasher of the A. B.

SOUTHERN CHIVALRY The Gameness of the Georgian White Folks Calls for Drastic Action by President Wilson CHICAGO DEFENDER NEWS SERVICE Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 21.—The entire exemption board of Fulton county has been summarily dismissed on orders from President Wilson, and their cases have been turned over to the Department of Justice. Cause of the dismissal involved "unwarranted exemptions and discharges," growing out of the attention called by the fact that out of 819 white men called in the county, 526 were exempted, 44 per cent of the exemptions being on physical grounds. Of 202 men of Color examined, however, only two were exempted. Southern white men have delighted in the past to brag of the southern self, to deflect themselves, and the incompetence of the prosecutor. Corruption. Judging from what has happened to this fine group of "shillkers" who constituted the exemption board, they are about 15 per cent to the bad, and if the exemptions noted were qualified, Fulton county can boast of about as rotten a bunch of white folks as the county has. If the exemptions were uncalled for, Fulton county is a hotbed of shackers and shirkers, who should be handed a fine penalty by the government. That the exemptions were perfect group goes to show that, after all, they are the superiors of the white in this section physically, and despite their superiority, they built-dragged by these "parrotie" red-necks, if the latter had their way, they would nestle close to the firesides while the men of Color shed their blood in the fire.

Now that "Christmas time" draws near. When lights will glow upon the tree. And all the world is filled with cheer WHERE TO GO FOR YOUR XMAS DINNER There'll be no "Christmas gifts" for me. While living in this mansion grand, With walks so high it makes me sigh To think what I must stand. I'll do the best I can while here. As I think of friends who once were true. Though I'll have no "Christmas gifts" with cheer. I can think of pleasant things I'd do. But here I am so sad and lonely. Now behind these prison bars; Locked up in a felon's cell. I cannot see the moon or stars. So I sit tonight, these verses write, I know there’s more than me. Who are alone, so far from home, And no “Christmas gifts” they’ll see There’ll be “Christmas gifts” for me, Sadness in my heart doth dwell; While the “Christmas bells” so sweetly ring, To be locked up in a prison cell. And so I think and look about, I grieve and cry, and then I pray; I ask the “Lord” to take me out, “Oh Lord, dear Lord,” take me away! Years may come and years may go, It is all the sum ‘o me; I’ll feel as if I had a “Christmas gift” The day that I go free.

Among the other and smaller stock companies playing a repertoire of offerings, the Drake-Walker Players, Irving C. Millers Stock Co., and the Irving Billy Higgins, are the ones with the busiest, with the exception of the real Billy King Co., which plays whole seasons at a time at the Grand theater, Chicago, changing their offerings twice a week, and showing everything from a simple farce to a high-class drama and musical comedy. And right here, credit for the King for the ability he has shown along this line; he has the greatest discernment in the art of selecting performers for his different companies. He is a great comedian, and knows the game from A to Z, and as a consultant the lights is all that is necessary to灯 the theaters of the central states. Vaudeville There are many acts working regularly in vaudieville, probably more at the present time than ever before. It is a great sign, and there have been instances where there have been as many as ten acts on the act bill, this thing actually occurring two weeks ago at the theatre, Wilson & Wilson holding second position in great shape, with the sterring team of Tabor, & Green being the most successful, and include such well known teams as "Kicker & Wintred, Cooper & Roblin." Jon, Moss & Fryer, Smith & Troy, Drackdom & Fryer, Davies & Walker, Johnson & Rollison, Austin & Bailey, Pugh & Brown, Green & Pugh & Brown, Jones & Johnson, Brooks & Powers, Johnson & Wells, Crumley & Gulipert, Anderson & Golnes, Marshall & Covert, Piddler & Colle, Miller & Lyles, Bradford & Jean- atto, Robinson & McKissick, Kelly & Davis, Cook & Stevens, Chadwick & Taylor, all of whom are playing the better and best, while on the smaller time are many who are not so well known, but who will be heard from in the larger time.

Routed for long hours, the derson Smith's Ten Dark Knights, The Tennessee Ten, Billy King and his exploits in Africa, the Musical Spillers, Valyda & Nuts, Creole Band, Johnson & Dean Review, Musical Byrons, the Caroline Girls, and several chief among them being the Old Time Darkies' Quartette, now on the Keith circuit, and the Hahn Four. There are several acts being featured in burlesque which, while not a new field, is one that promises great opportunities in the future. Laush Coates and her crackerjackets, who is under a long contract with the Hurtigts company, is making record ad attendance, and the company is showing, one of the host of the burlesque companies. The press notices are wonderful, some of the scribes declaring it to be the greatest dancing act in the world. S. B. Dudley and his Mule, who are their second successful scribes with the company, are the same great hit that they were in vaudeville, and the same can be said of the great dancer, Clarence Dotson, featured with the Step Lively Girls, and the popular comedian, Billy Cumbery, featured comedian with Beauregard. But along the line it is expected that next season will give additional acts used in this line. There is only one keele film company worthy of the name; that is the Lincoln Motion Picture, Inc., of Los Angeles, Cal. It is astonishing a Racial proposition, owned, operated and managed by a white perch even being allowed to own one store of stock. Three productions have been released, and have been booked with remarkable success: these are The realization of a Nestlé movie, The realization of "Tear K" and the Law of Nature. The first is a two-reeler, and the others are of three reels each. In all of them the entire casts are people of Color, and the emarkable manner in which these dramas were created was a revolution to the way folks didn't cork up and pull a lot of rotten, so-called comedy, there was no chance for success. In connection with this latter thought there is one company that may not be seen throughout the country in the near future. One or two have been shown in Chicago, but they were so rotten presented, and carried stories which reflected upon our people to the extent that protests were the main reason theaters which used them. As the managers of the most important houses on The Stroll have decided to have the Defender's Dramatic Editor review all productions of the kind before there will be any booking of them. The director of the stars of the Lincoln plays, is one of the greatest screen stars of the present time. In Burlesque In Filmlom Obituary RUCKER & WINFRED In high class vaudeville there is no better liked act than that of Rucker & Rudolph, which has been hitting them hard for years. He is the most important circuit in the varieties. John Rucker, who gained fame as the Alabama Blossom, is one of the few re-creations of good old memories of the old school and is the most popular of the fans as he was a decade ago. He THE EDITOR JOHN RUCKER was for years the featured comedian and writer of the show. His partner, Henry Winter, was out doubt one of the greatest of all comedians, and many of his many years of experience, and his work. M. HENRY WINFRED great merit. Billed as the Chink and the Smoke, their names are always bells and the popularity which they enjoy is well deserved, as it has been gained by dint of hard work and study. You say, "Merry Christmas to you all." JOE SHEFTELL Joe Shettell's Eight Black Dots is accorded the honor of being the best act of its kind in vaudeville. The act has played every vital importance in the country even rioting on the Interstate Time, which takes you into the williness of Olehoma. They drew top salary at all times, and the performers who make up the turn are among the discoverers in world. Joe himself is a past master at the art of staging, and is one of the Race's best Seniors. Joe vis is featured comedian with the act, and Fred Davis is the principal character worker. Others with Joe include Lawrence Jones, Viola Braxton, Georgia Wiggins, Milred Brown and Mabel Craig, and they all will be attending Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Monroe Tabor, considered one of the best tenor singers and yoddlers in the country, brought humum, Aha, and Fred Green, his partnerships from Rock Island, Ill. The latter at one time was a partner in the business with Mores, the popular barychestra which was the first to play a bill at the old Monogram theater. Tabor's first experience was with the Dandy Dixie Minstrel, and later he played in the orchestra which he singled with varying success. As the Two Disciples of Nicodemus, Tabor & Green have played every important audville circuit in America, and they are the most successful truly is some more act. They say Merry Christmas to you all. JIMMY MARSHALL Jimmy Marshall better known as "Jimmy Marshall" for nigh on fourteenth years. When a lad of 12 he was playing one-oldest on a corner lot in New York. His grace attracted the attention of a local picture producer, Jesse Lasky, who hired Jim to play a few small parts, among them one as "The Military Octette." After one week played at Hummersden's the board of education grabbed Jim and school kids little A. later he hired out as valet to the late Dan Avery of Avery & Hart, at $250 per week. A little later Charles Van, the United Booking offices, was located in the United States, as valet with the team of Morton Brown at fifteen simolons a week. He soon blowed that line and joined the Alda's iron Walker company as the straight line was the main men. When he asked for a raise, he couldn't see it. So he quit. In Chicago, in the dead of winter—a game thing in 100 years, he had was a batman coat of blue and a red and a pants. He was full of pep, however, and he joined with Joe Simms, with whom he worked a couple of weeks, then he doubled with Arthur Allen. The act was the same way when he had been a man per week. Quitting Allen, the worked at a team for one season. After orals death Jim took Teenan Jones's girl act. The Carolina Girls and made a trip to the country and he was a part of a act in Chicago. He doubled here with Willie Covain, went to New York, got a lot of booking, and his partner drew to the New York day and sent it back to the Party. Ellie Covert last summer, and the act has been going great guns ever since, playing on the 8th of April, the good salary of two hundreds part-time.

MERRY XMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR THE MUSICIAN TABOR & GREEN It is a rare thing to see an act company's brothers pulling list of dates from their archives to the best circuits, but that is just what has occurred with the splendid team Wilson & Wilson, who played several dials in the 1980s centently and who are now out on paper. THE FIRST WEDDING OF THE MARRIAGE OF JOHN AND MARY which will keep them busy until June. Billed as the Barber and the Boot-black, they present an original novelty show from start to finish. Good sniping with a snappy dialogue far away from anything seen in years in good vaudeville, the act has gained a splendid reputation and the press reports with it that the show is the most gratifying kind. All songs and other work used are original and there are more real punches to their fifteen minutes than are generally used in length. They wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. WILSON & WILSON WILSON BROTHERS Princess Paula and her Hawaiian Song Birds is the way one of the best acts of its kind is billed. But the princess is better known to her legion of a man with a wise conquest and versatile dancing performers. Miss Wallace, whose act was framed during her stay in the Hawaiian islands as a member of Hire Wise's Bronze Review, and with experience in the show business and as a performer, present act stands as a model of perfection. The Hawaiian boys with the princess include David Burrows, George Sam Ku, Walter Ho, Sam Clement, John Hawkins and a womanary Pall, all accomplished musicians and singers, and as handsome an act ever shot a smile across the footlights. The act says "Holiday greetings to you all." **Howard & Day** The popular team of Howard & Day have dissolved by mutual agreement, as Miss Day has decided to remain in Chicago during the present winter and may permanently. George Day will now partner and will very likely be one of the local houses in the near future. "BILLY KING CO.

WORKMEN BEAT WHITE STREET CAR CONDUCTOR Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 21—A mob of workmen heat up a white street car conductor at 5:30 December 1st. The men were on their way to the U. S. quartermaster's camp, now in course of construction and employing the conductor to complexions, including many whites and men of color from northern points. It seems as if the cars are not numerous enough to carry the large body of laborers and the consequence has been the disruption on the part of the men who have to handle the cars as well as great annoyance to the workmen. Saturday morning the crowd was so large that a number of rows developed. The disruption and the disruption and the conductor as to how many should ride and who must get off. The conductor, growing angry, was so thoughtless as to kick one of the men off the train reached the railroad crossing at Lackawanna avenue about 400 men got off the car, saying that they would not ride under such circumstances and disinterment for conditions over which the conductor had this point the conductor became indignant and refused to go ahead unless the man huddled back into the crowded cars.

Say, Clara, Mr. W. would be a very handsome young man if it wasn't for his awfully bad hair, wouldn't he? Oh, he's all right now; he had his barber treat his hair with Palm Cream, and now he is simply a dream. Our Palm Cream will not only straighten hair, but will keep it straight. Water or change of climate will not affect it. We have thousands and thousands of men today—men in all walks of life throughout this country, South America, the West Indies and various parts of Africa—using our goods. It is not always that a manufacturer can succeed with his goods in his own home town. He often has to seek fields far away. But not so with us. We have succeeded in our home. If you know a barber in New York, write and ask him what he thinks of Palm Cream. Palm Oil is an accessory to Palm Cream, as it grows the hair and keeps it beautiful. If your hair is harsh and dry or brittle it needs Palm Oil. If it is sick, stubborn and will not grip it needs Palm Oil. Palm Oil is not that soft, greasy mess used by so many people for the hair. It is dry and neat; it will not grease your hair, but will give your hair that beautiful, silky, glossy effect so much desired by everyone. Big inducements offered to agents.

"Come Through" "Come Through" is the title of one of the most thrilling pictures ever exhibited at the popular States theater. It takes two days only. It is advisable for my readers to be well meril the dates, Sunday and Monday, Dec. 23 and 24. "Come Through" you more thrills to the minute than a minute at the beginning in your life. It has been called "great," "tremoniously clever," "fasinutting," "marvelously realistic" etc. It is the book of George Bronson Hoving photobook by author. It is going to give you the greatest two hours of thrills that you ever enjoyed and you are going to talk to you about seven reels. It is the particular type that I rave about. It holds them spellbound in the grip of intense interest all the seven reels. Of one single second, one of the seven single second is there a let-up in the grip in which it holds its audiences. And there is an interesting story in the writing of the story, which is of great interest of all underworld dramas. In this connection the author says: "Come through as the result of that," he said. "In loss, so, cat. Yes, sir. Come enough was the result of a $1000 bet. You could have the conversation drifted to cricket plays. One friend said: 'There hasn't been a movie like that.'

In the plot, One of the boys suggested that I write something new. Being burdened with more than the usual amount of healthy author can conveniently shoulder in these strenuous times. I refused. My refusal only prompted the crowd to more forceful efforts to get me to write. "I still refused, when one of the boys added that he would bet me $1,000 that I couldn't do it. Now, one of the boys told me that thousands they pay me for such work was a temptation, so the money was put up and I went home. Far into the night I pondered and when I was rehearsing, I said, "Like a thunderbolt it came. The reverse English on the idea of the trapped lover pretending to be a burglar. Mine should be a high class man. I must marry a stunning society girl. midnight, to the announcement of all. What would then happen? The idea in the main planted, the plot and "Come Through" was the result."
