Subscription $1.00 Per Annum We show on this Commencement Sumner High Night Sch Commencement Sumner High Night School HUNDREDS HAD TO BE TURNED AWAY—MATERIAL HEWN FROM THE ROUGH—NOW POLISHED MONUMENTS — TEN RE- CEIVE DIPLOMAS— PRIZES AWARDED The Sumner Night school closed its year's work last Thursday evening, March 2nd in the Minnesota avenue High school auditorium with their commencement exercises. Long before time for the doors to open, which was seven o'clock hundreds gathered around the entrance amid a raging snow storm and on account of this blizzard the doors were opened one-half hour earlier and by 7:15 the large auditorium and gallery were filled to their capacity, while hundreds were unable to gain admittance to hear, see and enjoy one of the most pleasing and gratifying programs ever witnessed. Think of it—men and women who had seen their three score and ten, who, as it were, only a few months ago, hewn from the quarry in the rough and now could stand before an audience of long opportunities, as polished monuments. The human mind is incomprehensible when released from its paregoric state and PROF. J. P. KING, Supervisor be allowed to associate with bodies of King living food. S. PROF. J. P. KING. Supervisor of Sumner Night School At 8 o'clock sharp Prof. J. P. King, one of the most efficient and successful night school supervisors in the country, started the program by announcing the invocation by Dr. Holmes pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist church, after which the night school chorus of 50 voices sang an awaking selection. Prof. Reynolds has charge of this department and it's remarkable to see the great volume of song he has developed from this chorus. The business department under the very excellent teacher, Miss Penelton, was next and some ten of her class in typewriting gave a demonstration in speed and accuracy using the touch system, their copy being thrown upon canvas at the back of the stage and the written copies were passed through the audience for inspection. Then came a new class for Sumner night school. It was the class in Spanish. Dr. Nicholas Jaimie as instructor. While the reporter did not know what they were talking about but from some of their facial expressions in their little playlet or dialogue they most undoubtedly understood each other. The class poem "Vision of Sumner Night School," by Mrs. M. C Mathews, was very clever. Prof Wilbourn's class exercises made up of three groups A. B. C were excellent with Mr. Samuel Crowder leading off. The baby class made up of elderly men and women demonstrated some of the hidden powers that had been laying dormant for these many years, for the lack of opportunity. Mrs. Martin of Group A and Mother Green of Group B showed the people something in oratory. Mrs. M. C VOL. 2. cement er High nt School Mathews and Mrs. Lasley sang a catchy duet. Manual training department under the supervision of that genius, Prof. Mowbray, exhibited a Colonial quarter-sawed oak buffet with a graphaphone attachment which was concealed in an end drawer. Mr. R. A. White was the maker. Prof. Lewis' department furnished the orators for the evening in Mrs. Lillie Kearney and Mrs. Alice Strickland of which both were excellent bits of oratory. The cooking class under Miss Davis showed in a practical way what they could do, by a demonstration on the stage in how to prepare salads which was passed through the audience to see only. The class in sewing whose Instructors were Misses Lewis and Montgomery brought their machines, pupils and material on the stage, and in just 23 minutes by the watch, they measured, cut, and made a beautiful white skirt with middy blouse, trimmed in blue and fit it on a model. Some speed. The chorus rendered a fine selection after which Prof. King introduced Mr. Landrey, president of the board of education who would present the diplomas to the graduating class. After a splendid talk of comment to Mr. visor of Sumner Night School King on his phenomenal success as supervisor of Sumner night school, and the great interest that had been shown by the pupils attending and that the board was ever ready to do their part to further its cause, he with a sincere smile presented diplomas to the following graduates: Mrs. Belle Ferguson. Mrs. M. L White, Mrs. M. Childs, Mrs. Hattie Grant, Mrs. Lillie Wheeler, Mrs. J. B. Bush, Mrs. Henrietta Green, Mrs. Sarah Warner, Mr. W. E. Green and Mr. W. W. Patrick W. E. Green and M. W. W. Patrick. Prof J. M. Marquess, principal of Sumner High school, was then called to the stage, and awarded the prizes to those who had accomplished that mark of merit. 'Those receiving prizes were as follows: Cooking, Mrs. Lena B. Downs, $5 in gold by Mr. Stewart of the Stewart Pantitiorium. Advance spelling, $5 in $1^{12}$ to Mrs. Clara L.

J. A. HODGE Newly Elect Principal of Sumner High School and informed him of what had taken place on Monday evening. This goes to show that the board had long settled on this scholarly young man if at any time a vacancy occurred. It is not believed that a more satisfactory successor to that giant and brainty educator, J. M. Marquess, than that of Mr. Hodges could have been made. He has been here long enough for the people to know him and his ability as an educator. It would be a difficult Hand made. Embroidered. Cross-stitched.

This is a society to which members are elected from graduates of universities when they have shown marked ability in scientific research work. Mr. Hodge has been offered principalships at various times at the following places: Portsmouth, Ohio; Gallipolis, Ohio; Mt. Vernon, Indiana; Evansville, Indiana, and just recently was offered the position of teacher of physics and mathematics in Summer High school at St. Louis. This position was being held open for him to assume charge this coming fall, but his election to succeed Mr. Marquess will necessitate the refusal again of this place. BISHOP JOHNSON PREACHES TO CROWDED HOUSE AT FIRST A M. E. CHURCH—GIVES LECTURE TO STANDING ROOM 'ONLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. Rt. Rev. J. Albert Johnson, who has been the presiding bishop of South Africa of the A. M. E. church for eight years, preached to one of the largest audiences at last Sunday morning's service that has been in the church since its remodeling. Every available space was filled. The sermon was a masterly one in thought and eloquence. The great congregation received a spiritual feast that lifted them up into a higher realm of Christian ethics. On Wednesday evening the bishop gave a lecture on South Africa, showing stereopticon views of what the church is doing for our people in that part of the continent in Christianity and education. The progress our people have made in the last decade in the way of building churches and schools of modern appliances have been a great revelation to all foreign colonies within its domain. This intellectual giant has probably done more in bringing the church up to a loftier realization of the present day needs from a moral and religious standpoint than any man of the church.

In addition to a very large campus, etc., of 320 acres and more than fifteen buildings, one of which is the Administration Building, one of the most magnificent buildings in the state of Oklahoma, there is a very generous appropriation from the state and an endowment of one hundred thousand acres of land from which quite a revenue is derived. It has fallen to the lot of Prof. J. M. Marquess, the efficient principal of our own Sumner High school to be chosen as the permanent head of that institution and the press quotes Supt. R. H. Wilson, the Chairman of the Board as saying that he will have "absolute control" over the school. A modern twelve room home and a salary of $2500 a year are among the inducements offered Prof. Marquess to give up his work here and take that. This ascendancy to the presidency of a real college comes as a very fitting tribute to the worth of Prof. Marquess as a school man. As the head of Sumner High School he has raised it to the highest standing occupied by any Negro high school in the United States. He has shown exceptional ability as a teacher and as an administrative officer and his loss to our school system is great. Prof. Marquess has been identified with every social and civic movement since his coming here. He has also been quite active in church work and commands the absolute respect of all representative citizens of our community. The Advocate congratulates Oklahoma upon its securing such a competent, clean and efficient school man. it regrets that Kansas City, Kansas, must give him up. His contribution to the uplift of the community has been great and in losing him the State of Kansas loses one of its very, best citizens. The Au Fait 500 club met with Mrs. S. T. Thomas at 1319 N.

Prof. Jackson's Pupils Give A Piano Recital The first piano recital of Professor Jackson's pupils was given Tuesday evening of this week at his studio at the corner of Tenth and Charlotte streets, Kansas City, Mo. Only a few guests were invited to this recital as the professor stated it gave the pupils more confidence in their ability to come out before the public. Those who were fortunate enough to be present received a great musical treat. Each and every performer showed that ability of a high musical talent and that they had been under a great master. There is no doubt in the minds of the music critics, that Professor Jackson is one of the race's most efficient instructors and its not too early in prophesying that this talented musician will have a conservatory some place in the west with a corps of a dozen or more teachers. His work at Western University has been nothing but success. He is ably assisted by Miss Douglass and Miss Mosley in his Missouri studio. A public recital will be given later. A recital of the little pupils will be given this Friday evening in the studio at Allen clapel. er High School Langston University col jobs in this country for Negroes is city, Langston, Okla.

From whence did you come, little one, With your black, sparkling eyes and smiles? Surely not from the skies Where naught but angelle whiteness dwells, 'tis said, And your face is an ebony hue, So bright and shining, too, Like marble polished by a sculptor's hand. Why should heaven be so different from earth? 'Tis a life purer and higher, Things more perfect and brighter, Music and love flowers of all colors, Jewels of variegated hue, Is it a wonder then that you Should come to us black instead of white? Some men, with their code of laws, Turn aside from facts all, And say you're nothing but a lump of The lowest type of a human mind, Cursed by God and all mankind, Created only to drudge, thru life. No cherished plans in mother's heart, No fiery ambitions in father's heart Were meant for such as you; But God decess a different plan For dwellers in this great land, "Go preach my gospel unto all nations." And with the light of civilization There comes a realization, Heights of great men are not obtained By any particular race, All can take their place Where they choose in life's great work So sleep, little one, and grow, Smile, laugh and crow, Angels are guarding you day and night, Black marble can shine as bright As any of the white.

The Linwood Art club had a fine meeting at the cozy home of Mrs. Lottie Williams, North Tenth street. An excellent program was rendered and the hostess served a very fine menu. This new club is doing good work. Thet First A. M. E. church choir with that noted musician, N. Clark Smith, at its head, is attracting much attention just at this time, before the public, but we are sorry to say on the part of some members of this fine looking choir, they attract some unnecessary attentions by strolling in, up and across the choir loft, during half of the service. It looks bad to strangers and is quite embarrassing to the pastor and the chorister. Mr. T. A. Moseley, florist, met with a street car accident while crossing the tracks at Tenth and Armstrong with floral tributes in an auto delivery sustaining bruises and a general shake up, causing much distress and a nervous breakdown. At present writing, is moving about, but slowly. The Spanish class of Sumner N. S. will continue as a club nearly all summer. They met at the M. E. parsonage and elected the following officers: President, Dr. Davis; vice president, Mrs. Tulle; secretary, Mrs. M. C Matthews; assistant secretary, Mrs. S. Russell; treasurer, Mrs. S. H.

The Citizens' Forum had a large meeting Sunday. Mrs. H. Dwiggins presided. The program was rendered mostly by children.

The baskets were scld, but the idea of a hippopotamus was so firmly fixed in the minds-of all the purchasers that not one of them ever had legitimate grounds on which to demand his money back. Knew He'd Seen Her Before. ‘Three women met in a New York elevated station. “Well, 1 declare,” they all dnorused. The last arrival was asked if she, too, was bound for the shopping district, the destination of the other women, “No, indeed,” she quickly replied. “I'm going to my husband's office. He just telephoned me he had left an important letter at home, and asked me to bring it to him. He's the most absent-minded man I ever met.” “He isn’t any worse than my husband,” chimed in one of the cther women. “Doctor is so for gettul at times that he frequently goes eff without his medicine folio,” “Well,” spoke up the third woman, “my hus band beats that, John, as you know, is a traveling man. He has been away a month this time, He came home the other day and patted me on the cheek and said, ‘I believe I have seen you before, little girl, at some place, at some time. What is your name?’” Candle Extingulsher. It has been found that candles can be fitted with attachments to extin guish the light at a set time. To de termine the length of time it is neces: sary to mark a candle of the sizo used and time how long a certain length of it will burn, ‘Then it is sufficient to suspend a mall metal dome or cap, to which a string is attached, directly over the flame, and run the opposite end of the string over nails or through screw eyes, 50 that it can be tied around the candle such a distance from the flame end that the part between the flame and the string will be consumed in the time desired for the light to burn When this point is reached the string slips off the candle and the cap drops on the dame. Riddle of Nature. Because I have stirred a few grains of sand on the shore, am [ in a post tion to know the depths of the ocean? Life has unfathomable secrets. Hu man knowledge will be erased from the archives of the world before we possess the last word that the gnat has to say to us. Scientifically, na ture is a riddle without a definite so lution to satisfy man’s curiosity. Hypothesis follows hypothesis; the theoretical rubbish heap accumulates and truth ever eludes us. To know how not to know might well be the last word of wisdom.—Henr! Fabre. NEVER WAKE SLEEPING BABY Writer Points Out How Injurious Is Action Too Common With Young - Mothers. Eating and sleeping are the only Voluntary acts of the young infant, writes Mrs. E. E. Kellogg in Gooa Health Magazine. As a gencral rule, the child should not be awakened from sleep to be fed; neither should he be awakened, as many a poor little mite of humanity is, for the purpose of be- ing exhibited to interested friends or Telatives, ‘The physical rights of the little one Wemand that he should be allowed to follow rature’s plan, which for a child under one month of age {s 20 hours sleep out of the 24. When he has at- tained the age of six months, 16 hours’ sleep may suffice. Lack of sleep has @ most demoralizing effect upon the brain and nervous system. The child at four or five years requires 12 hours’ sleep, and the youth, even at fit teen or sixteen years, should sleep nine or ten bours. Rest and quiet, ds well as sleep. are a necessity for the young child Quick temper and irritability are often thd) direct result of exbauste¢ nerve force, TINY VILLAGES IN ENGLAND ‘Two Hamlets In Which There Is Only One Inhabitant, and Many With But a Few. __ It takes two to make, quarrel, but it only takes one to make a village, ‘For an exaniple of the truth of this latter statement you need only to take a trip to Skiddaw, tn Cumberland, England. This liliputian village con- ‘tains only one villager, who complains bitterly because he cannot vote. The reason that he cannot vote is that there is no overseer to prepare a vot- ers list and no public building to pub- lish one, as the law demands, Yet one-man villages sometimes have their benefits. In a Northumber- land hamlet the single inhabitant re- fuses to contribute money to maintain the roads, declaring that the one he has is quite good enough for his use. Twelve inhabitants of a tiny village in the Isle of Ely are similarly blessed. ‘They have no rates, no roads, no pub- lic Institutions of any kind, Buckland-in-the-Moor is another curt- osity. Public houses, policemen, doc tors and paupers are unknown there, though the population is nearly a hun- dred. All the “oldest inhabitants” are pénsioned by the owner of the estate, who himself recently celebrated his golden wedding. ONE GOOD QUALITY HE HAD ‘Truthful Man Could Not Go Far In Eulogy of Dead Man, But He Did His Best. There was an old farmer who was widely known as the crossest, closest, and most generally nonlikable citizen in the whole state. Like other mean men he lived to a ripe old age, but eventually he died and his friends went ahead with plans for the funeral. Now, it is customary, in the case of rural funerals, for those who at- tend, as they stand by the coffin, to murmur some eulogy of the dead. A number of farmers came in and said things which didn't square at all with the old man’s life. Finally, an aged man, who had imown the deceased all his life, hob- bled in and stood by the coffin. The aged man was known as the most truthful man in the county. Hence, the other people present walted with interest to hear what he would say. ‘The old man gazed down silently for a while, He paused. Finally he spoke. “Wal,” he said earnestly, “nobody Kin deny that he was a great hand for closin’ his stable door o’ nights.” Simple Barometer. Directions for converting a burned: out incandescent light dulb into a bar- ometer that will foretell changes in the weather with remarkable success are given in the Youth's Companion. Place a discarded bulb under water in a deep basin, and after protecting the hands against danger from broken glass, break off the pointed bit of glass at the very end of the bulb with a pair of pliers. As soon as an open- ing is made in the glass, the bulb will fill with water, which rushes in to take the place of the vacuum. Tie a cord or stout string about the seck of the bulb and hang it on a book or nail. If the weather is to be fine no water will drop from tke hole at the bottom of the bulb, When the water begins to bulge out of the opening un- til drops fall from the bulb you may expect a change in the weather. At mospheric pressure governs the ac tion of this simple barometer. When the pressure increases—a sign of fair weather—it pushes the water back from the mouth of the bulb, and no drop can form; when it falls, the wa ter expands through the opening until a few drops fall. As lower pressure nearly always precedes a change oO! weather, a drip from tho bulb usually indicates a coming storm. On Speaking English. It should be a point of science with those who can speak English perfectly to do so in all their associations with newcomers. A foreigner who is trying to better his knowledge of the language will be grateful for the opportunity to hear clear, careful and correct speech, and each conversation is a lesson. Tho best English of America is as good as any English, but the tongue is greatly exposed here to the corruption which comes from imperfect assimilation. It is the more important for the majority to whom English is the mother tongue to do their best to keep it in its purity. Incidentally in trying to help foreign ers to acquire a good accent they will greatly better their own speech— Springfield Republican. ‘THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE. ane Hast india friair wrower 2 WIL Promote a~ Full . .

It is described in Tit-Bits: ‘The apparatus consists of a special telephone, with double receivers, One end of the telephone wire is attached to a small piece o* platinum, which is placed on the patient’s skin near the wound and held in position by plaster or bya bandage. The other end of the telephone wire is in the form of a dis- infected thread of silver, which is used because it can be readily attached to any of the surgeon's instruments— @ knife, a probe, a needle or a pair of forceps. The only precaution neces- sary is that the terminating wire should be very firmly attached to the instrument. When the surgeon puts the telephone receiver to his ear and begins to use his instrument on the tissues, he will hear with great distinctness a grating sound that is known as a microphonic rattle the instant the instrument touches any metal imbedded in the pa- tlent’s tissue. The value of this apparatus to sur- geons on tho battlefield is naturally ‘very great. Art and the War. if every work of art existing in the western world were obliterated, and every artist killed, would human na- ture return to the animalism from from which art has in a measure raised it? Not so. Art makes good in the human soul all the positions that it conquers. When the world is over, the world ‘will find that the thing which has, changed least is art. Certain withered leaves, warts, dead branches will have| sloughed off from the tree; the sap| will run at first a little faster for the| temporary check, and that is all. The! wind of war reeking with death willl neither have warped, nor poisoned it. ‘The utility of art, which in these days of blood and agony is mocked at, will be raised again into the view even of the mockers, almost before the thun- der of the last shell has died away, “Beauty is useful,” says Monsieur Rodin.

In seven days Lady Pontiac Johana produced 41 81-100 pounds of butter and 658 pounds of milk. This performance makes her the third highest classed cow in the world, the two higher ones being full-grown animals. She beat the former world's butter record by 5% pounds. Philippine Flora.

JOTTINGS FROM RENSSELEAR MARCH 7TH. An egg social was given at the A. M. E. Saturday evening by Misses Mabel Dant and Mary S. Dant. Everyone reported a good time. Mr. Charles Tony and wife are moving to Rensselear this week and will begin housekeeping there. Everyone welcomes the young couple back. Mrs. Eliza Riptoe and Mrs. Jerry Williams are on the sick list. Miss Mary Daut and brother, Master Clarence were Palmyra visitors Saturday. Miss Blanche Greene and Miss Emma Saunders made a business trip to Hannibal Saturday. Mr. Clarence Williams and Mr. John Harrington while coming from Sydney Sunday evening saw a strange looking animal upon a straw stack. They couldn't make out what it was and they lost no time in coming to Rensselaer. PRIMARY RESULTED IN BIGGER AND McADAMS DELEGATES. The Republican primary last Saturday to select delegates to the district and state convention, resulted in a victory for the Bigger delegates and the McAdains delegates. There were quite a number of colored men on all delegations and a good sprinkling of them will be honored in both conventions. It looks like the Second district will also go a little higher and select a colored man as alternate to the National convention, and he is likely to be from Wyandotte. Why shouldn't he? Wyandotte has more he is Why is more "You are going to marry it, but you'll earn it, all right!" ing over learn w when ne split. Pain and Ill Health rob you of all your efficiency. than one third of the colored vote in the state. If you want these honors, boys, which are due you, get right up in the front ranks and if you happen to get elbowed to the rear go around with an end run and play the center again. As to the state convention, it's hard to figure at this time, as there are only four delegates to be selected from a state wide pick, but even at that 20,000 votes look mighty good to start into business with, but it sometimes takes awfully cool heads to see it. It is hoped we have such heads at this special and incmentous time and at least an alternate-at-large will be on the delegation from Kansas. "The seven seas" is a phrase which greets the eye on many a page. "Sailing the seven seas," "Mistress of the seven seas," etc., are phrases so often encountered that several schrivarly men have sought to trace the origin of the reference. The quest seems not to have resulted satisfactorily, and the matter remains in dispute. One of the interesting features brought out by the controversy is that, as employed many centuries ago, "the seven seas" did not include either the Atlantic or Pacific ocean, but referred to the Arabian sea, the Persian sea, the Red sea, the Caspian sea, the Black sea, the Mediterranean sea and the Adriatic sea. Sensible Soothsayer. "You are going to have a great deal of money some day," said the clairvoyant. "Am I going to marry it or earn it?" asked the pleased client. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE. The Seven Seas CHARACTER TOLD BY NOSE Shape of the Most Prominent Feature of the Face Will Reveal Much to Observer. Nasography reveals the character, habits and inclinations of people by a simple inspection of noses. According to the system, the nose should be as long as possible, as this is a sign of merit, power and genius. Examples—Napoleon and Caesar, both of whom had large noses. A straight nose denotes a just, serious and energetic mind; the Roman nose a propensity for adventure, and a wide nose with open nostrils is a mark of great sensuality. A cleft nose shows benevolence—it was the nose of St. Vincent de Paul. The curved fleshy nose is a mark of domination and cruelty. Catharine de Medici and Ellizabeth of England had noses of this kind. The curved thin nose, on the contrary, is a mark of a brilliant mind, but vain and disposed to be ironical; it is the nose of a dreamer, a poet, or a critic. If the line of the nose is re-entrant—that is, if the nose is turned up--it denotes that its owner has a weak mind, sometimes coarse, and generally playful, pleasant and frolicsome. A pale nose denotes egotism, envy, heartlessness; the quick, passionate, sanguine man has a strongly-colored nose of uniform shade. GREAT FIELD FOR NOVELISTS Industrial Life In America Should Inspire the Best Work of the Best Novelists. No strong hand has yet been laid (in a literary sense) upon our industrial life. It has been pecked at and trifled with, but never treated with breadth of fullness. Here we have probably the most striking social contrasts the world has ever seen; racial mixtures of bewildering complexity, the whole flung against impressive backgrounds and lighted from a thousand angles. Pennsylvania is only slightly "spotted" on the literary map, and yet between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh nearly every possible phase and condition of life is represented. Great passions are at work in the fiery aisles of the steel mills that would have kindled Dostoyefsky's imagination. A pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night marks a limitless field for the earnest fictionist. A Balzac would find a thousand subjects awaiting him in the streets of Wilkes-Barre!—Meredith Nicholson in the Atlantic Monthly. Sensitive Measurement Minute bendings of a steel bar three feet long and three and one-half feet in diameter are accurately measured by a curious but very sensitive device of the United States bureau of standards. The bar, supported at each end, has a small mirror fixed in the center, and above this is a frame holding another mirror partially silvered. As the light of a sodium burner is reflected in each mirror the lower mirror shows a series of black and yellow concentric rings. A very small weight, even that of a pin, deflects the bar and causes the circles to expand outward. Each circle indicates a movement of one hundred-thousandth of an inch, the pressure of a finger, forming five or more new circles, showing a bending of one twenty-thousandth of an inch. Second Girl Wins Out. Wouldn't it jar you if a man borrowed a hundred from you to get a marriage license and buy some furniture for a flat and then went and spent the hundred on his wedding with another girl? It did a New York girl, and her intended husband, who has a monicker as bad as a Russian city, and who came near missing his marriage to her rival. She had him jugged. But once behind the bars the husband-to-be gave vent to a wild outburst of passion. His plight reached the second girl of his choice and she made a house-to-house canvass until she had raised the cold cash to liberate him. And then they were married. What's a little thing like jail when it stands between a determined matrimonialist and her intended? Looking on Both Sides. The progress of humanity depends on two movements which must go on side by side. One is the impulse toward change; the other is the steady drag toward stability. To prevent a given social state from petrification there must be constant revolts, a continuous series of fresh and likely efforts to strike out new paths. But in order that a social state may exist at all, the newer impulses must be harmonized with the older structure. Order is as necessary for the world as progress. Don't Spill the Milk. In almost every accident someone is to blame. Let us then learn from our own accidents just where we might have done better. Let us acknowledge that the fault was ours, and set about trying to make good in the future. There is no use in blaming luck or misfortune for our faults of commission or omission; and instead of crying over the milk which was split let us learn wherein we were wrong, so that when next we carry milk it will not be split.
