KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. K. OF P.'S 27TH ANNUAL THANKS SERVICE We venture to say there was not as large or a more joyful gathering than the 27th Annual Sermon of the K. P's. Sunday, May 2, at the A. M. E. Church. By 2 o'clock p.m. the auditorium and balcony was packed with over 1,000 people and most all of them were Pythians or Calanthians. It is the first time that there were so many lodge members that hundreds of them sat in the balcony. Few persons, not members, were able to get seats, and about 1,000 persons waited on the outside. It was the largest gathering in Kansas on this date, and was held under the auspices of Stringer Lodge No. 14, Enterprise, No. 27, Golden Star, No. 42; Crystal, No. 44; Dionysius Court, No. 16; Bright Eagle, No. 12; Hermione, No. 21, and Fidelity, No. 34; escorted by Midwest, No. 2, Stringer, No. 11, and Golden Star Troop A. The Sunflower Grand Lodge and Court's Grand Officers were present and hundreds came from Wichita, including Imperial Company No. 1. Many came from Leavenworth and Ottawa, and Colonel D. Rife, his staff, regiment and famous band of K. C., Mo., were present, with a great many of their Court ladies. The First Regiment K. P. Band of Kansas led the parade, with 500 uniformed men in line; also the Uni- Dinwiddie, Va., May 5.—The most successful year in the history of Dinwiddie Normal and Industrial school, has just closed, the commencement exercises being held here today in the presence of a large number of people. It seemed that the whole community for miles around took a vacation in order to be present at the school, and a large number of people were here from Petersburg, Newport News, Richmond and other parts. The patrons, as well as students were loud in their praises of the good work accomplished by Prof. Waiter S. Woodyard, the president, and a graduate from Fisk University. Prof. Woodyard is one of the most noted school presidents in the country. The exercises were all of a high order, and the graduates from the Normal department were, Gladys J. Alexander, of Petersburg; Thomas F. Goodwyn, of Dinwiddie; Annie E. Gross, of Norfolk, and James C. Wyatt, of Dinwiddie The commencement address was delivered by Charles Stewart, A.M., D.D., of Chicago, general missionary of the National Baptist convention. "Tell Me Your Age," was the theme discussed, and in the address there were many good things said to the young people. The speaker declared that a man's age did not depend on the number of years he lived in the world, but on how well he lived, and how well he rendered his service to mankind. "There are some ages that cannot be computed," he said, "because of their years of real service to humanity—to the world. God has always been able to use a man, and you must bear in mind that man is not age, size, physical strength, color, hair, but he is Mind, Soul, Will. In true manhood, we have it in the president of this institution, Prof. Walter S. Woodyard, who is but a babe so to speak, in size, but a giant in mind. He has been able to render a great service to the young people here, because of that trained mind." Prizes were awarded, and diplomas presented by Prof. Woodyard. H. R. Stines, Barber. Prices stand the same. 1614 North Third. Mrs. T. G. Smith, 1226 Ann avenue, has been ill with la gripe, for two weeks. But her many friends are glad to know that she is improving rapidly. CARD OF THANKS. We heartily commend our many friends and neighbors who assisted in any way during the long illness and death of our beloved mother, Mrs. Alice Beckham. We wish to especially thank Rev. J. T. Griffin, Dr. G. E. Horsey, Rebecca Tabernacle 333, Pritchard Court No. 3, Queen of Sheba Chapter No. 19, and Mary Magdalene Court, Kansas City, Kans. MRS.

Holmes, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church. It was full of pathos, laughter, and although he had only a few momeats he impressed the fact that lodges are laudable institution, but only those who unite with God's Church and are pure in heart can be saved. Some singers from a Texas college sang and were encored. As the vast concourse of people left the church many said they will not soon forget the great Annual Thanksgiving program and sermon of the Knights of Pythias. THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD (C.W.F.F.) Rev. J. A. Cook, Pastor. On last Sunday the Lord presented us with a beautiful May day and the Sunday school was real beautiful and excellent. Every scholar seems to be very apt and interested in school. Parents, will you please send your children every Sunday to Sunday school? Elder Farr preached at 11:20. He said many good things. His text was Luke 15-18. Rev. Farr was followed by Elder B. M. Campbell, a noble speaker. He spoke direct to the points. After the morning service was over all, Rev. Stuckey baptized two candidates at Eleventh street and Washington boulevard. While on the water Elder Mose Robinson of the Church of God, on North Sixth street had one candidate for baptism. At 6 p. m., the Bible Band was called to order and a nice lesson was rendered. Elder A. E. Galvin occupied the rostrum at 8:20 and he preached a wonderful sermon and many rejoiced at his soul-stirring sermon. Elder B. M. Campbell followed Rev. Galvin and he said many sweet things. After the preaching was over the Lord's Supper was issued, and feet washing took place. While Elder Campbell was here running his revival I am glad to say he did remarkably well and put several individuals to thinking on the true doctrine. Several united on the true worship of God. The pastor is now in Jackson, Tenn., on business; will return soon. The Ministers and Deacons Union will meet Sunday evening, May 16th, at 2:30'. All are cordially invited. Rev. B. M. Campbell left last Monday for Omaha, Neb., to begin a three weeks' revival. Don't forget that all are ever welcome to the Church of God at 337 Oakland avenue. The Bible Band at 6 p. m., every Sunday. Rev. G. Prince is stopping at Mrs Pleasant's, his cousin's home He will be here for 10 days. Mr. S. H. Randolph was in Sunday and attended his church. Mesdames Williams on Winona, and Rollins on Grandview, boulevard, had the society editor at luncheon recently. Mrs. De Ella Holman, daughter of Officer Wesley Robinson, is very sick at her home, 1323 Euclid, Kansas City, Mo. The funeral of Mr. Charles Boone of Minneapolis, Minn., took place from Mr. Roy Boone's residence on Winona avenue. He was also a brother of our Mr. Wm. Boone. The corresponding secretary of Metropolitan is always af)or sinners and backsliders; she was rewarded by seeing Mr. Williams unite with the church for baptism. Miss Louise Thompson was from K. U. recently, visiting her parents. Mrs. Bertha Carroll, who has been quite sick, was out this week. Little Evelyn Geirs is quite ill at the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Tucker, 2514 North Tremont. W. C. ARCH. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1920 DR. STEWART SAYS TO "STAY AT HOME" DR. STEWART SAYS TO "STAY AT HOME" CITY Earoute to the National Convention of the American Federation of Musicians at Pittsburgh, Pa, I stopped over at St. Louis and visited the General Conference at that place. Among the many dignitaries and princes of the church whom I met were Editor Kennedy of "The Advocate," Prof. G. A. Gregg, Rev. J. F. Griffin, Mrs. Lula Haylor, Mr. and Mrs. P. G. Eacley, Mrs. Lottie Hall, and numerous other folks from the old home town. However, I shall not attempt to "cover" the General Conference in this letter. I attended Friday night a rendition of the Oratoria "Mary Magdalene" at the Coliseum, rendered by the Community Chorus, under the direction of Prof. Gerald Tyler, with soloists of marked musical ability in the principal roles. "The acoustics of this immense structure were very trying on both audience and performers, but, nevertheless the solos and ensemble numbers were delivered with such spirit and bold technique, under Prof. Tyler's masterful direction that the audience, which was at first cold and unresponsive, warmed up and In addressing the students of Southern University Friday night, Chas. Stewart, A.M., D.D., of Chicago, general missionary of the National Baptist convention, said: "Louisiana has placed within reach of every Negro boy and girl in the state an education, and if they fail to get it they will have only themselves to blame." Following the farmers' conference, Dr. J. S. Clark has invited some of the leading colored men of the country to visit the school, as well as some of the leading white men. He is striving to point out to the young Negroes the opportunities within their reach right in the south and in their homes. He holds that it is not necessary to go away from home looking for gold and diamonds when they are right here. Dr. Stewart is a native of Frankfort, Ky., and most of his time is spent among his people in the south, and in his work he has made many friends among both races. He is conservative, showing what his race can do through industry, honesty, reliability and thrift. He urges the young Negro not to spend his time in useless complaining, but to do things. "Thousands of dollars are being invested in this state by the state for schools and teachers," says Dr. Stewart, "and it is because the state wants you to find yourself—find who you are, what you are and your place in God's plan. The school is the signboard pointing you to a man Horton, Kansas Please allow me space in your paper to say a word for Horton and Sabetha. Mrs. W. J. Irving and children and Miss Marie Henry came home Monday after spending the week-end with relatives near Circleville. Rev. A. H. Hamilton spent Sunday at Sabetha. He reports the work as progressing. Misses Rosezetta Battle, Elizabeth Williams and Mr. Albert Williams spent Sunday on a picnic. Mrs. M. G. Holloway and son, Paul, are spending a few days with her husband. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Irving came in Monday off the run from Horton to Nelson, Neb., for a lay-off. The Whatsoever Club is having a play Wednesday, May 12, and also an entertainment. Rev. A. H. Hamilton was out of the city one day last week. The A. E. S. met at the Masonic hall Thursday, May 6. Mr. Eugene Fleming is able to return to his work. The baptizing at the A. M. E.

ARABELLE HUGHES, Reporter Mr. Nathaniel Singletary has been quite sick. Mrs. J. J. Lewis has been sick but we are glad to see her out at church again. ADVOCATE became tumultuous in its applause. Mr. Geo. Garner of Chicago, singing the part of the Evangelist, in the midst of one of his most spirited solos fell headlong from the front of the stage, a height of about four feet, in a dead faint, overcome by the warmth and closeness of the atmosphere. This incident, tragic in its effect, caused considerable excitement, but coolness of head of those nearby soon calmed down the immense audience, and after a short delay the soloist revived sufficiently to be assisted to an ante room and the performance was resumed, with substitutions. Shortly he rushed in and carried it out to the end with marked distinction. I left St. Louis Saturday night accompanied by A. A. Simms, President of the Colored Musicians' Union there, for Pittsburgh, Pa., where we will have assisted in creating new legislation for all the professional musicians of the United States and Canada by the time this reaches your readers.

"I have nothing to do with where a man should live, but I want to say since the state is putting its money to you students here today, that ino your heads, you owe the state a man—a woman—and this you should be willing to pay. It matters not where you may cast your lot, a true man rendering efficient service to his fellow beings, that will serve well you will be returning the principal and interest to the state on the investment it has made on you. While some people foolishly giving away their property trying to go north, you get hold of some of it. That is a good inv stance, and you will find it so, perhaps not today, but tomorrow. "There is within the heart of every white man a spark of justice, and it will take just a little time to find it. The white man speaks wall about the Negro and the Negro must speak well about the white man. We must live together and die together. We must not kill each other, but go to the rescue of each other. Let us all live together in peace and unity. Do not be firebrands, preach the doctrine of peace. Lynching must go, and in the same breath let me add, lawlessness and crime must also go. God hasten the day when all over America it will be "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity."—Shreveport (La.) State-Times. OBITUARY. Alice Beckham was born in the state of Georgia about sixty-five years ago. Being of slave parents, her exact age is unknown. She departed this life, April 28, 1920, at 9:30 a.m. She was united in wedlock to Andrew Beckham March 28 in the year 1880, in the state of Alabama, by Bishop Ward, who at that time was presiding bishop of that diocese. They lived happily together for thirteenth years. His death preceding hers by seven years. Five children were born by this union, two of which survive, Jennie Kingsbury and Leola Miller. She realized to rear her children properly, it required the help of the Lord, and immediately set out to seek Him. This she accomplished, and was happily converted. She joined the A. M. E. church in 1885 under the pastorate of Rev. A. W. Atwater of Eufaulia, Alabama. She came to Kansas about thirty-three years ago. She connected herself with the A. M. E. church under Rev. Collins. She later accepted the life of holiness. She lived a truly Christian life and was devoted to her church. As long as she was physically able, she gave her support to it. Her health began to fail seven years ago. During six of these she was unable to attend services alone. Nevertheless she was found at her post, being led by her daughter. At no time during her long illness, did she forget her Maker. She could be found at any time singing His praises. She was a loving mother. She leaves two devoted daughters, two sons-in-law, one granddaughter, and a host of friends to mourn her demise. W. B. Arch and wife and son, of Waterloo, Iowa, are now visiting his brother at, 709 New Jersey avenue. Mrs. Worthley, at 830 Everett avenue, is now visiting relatives and friends in Little Rock, Ark.

Order of Odd Fellows and the Households of Ruth held their Annual Thanksgiving Services Sunday, May.9, 1920, at the Metropolitan Baptist Temple. Preceded by the Patriarchs under Mr. Ned Jones and a long procession of brethren arrived at the church, and promptly at 2 P. M. Grand Master Atty. D. Green, explained the object of the gathering and announced to the 1,200 present the following program: Musical Selection, "Coronation," led by the Metropolitan Baptist Choir; Invocation, Chaplain; Music, "Blest the Tie," Choir and ensemble; Address, Mr. C. J. Williams, one of the oldest Odd Fellows, who has an honorary certificate from Chicago; Vocal Solo, "He Will Guide You," Mrs. Cora Evans; it was classic and deserved an encore; Paper, "Juvenile Odd Fellowship," by little Dorothy Johnson, was very fine and received an ovation; Music, "Ruth," by the Choir; Paper, "The Households of Ruth," Mrs. Luella Green, D. G. W. R.; Vocal Solo, little Louise Davis. At this juncture the collection was taken by the Finance Committee, O. Reams, Chairman; an offering of over $165 was given, which is the largest at any lodge service this season. The choir sang the chorus "Emanuel," and "Wake the Song," quite nicely. The climax was the sermon by Dr. D. A. Holmes. He likened the three links as a pattern of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, also of the Spirit, Water, and Blood. Many rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, as he said the greatest of all is to accept Christ METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES We were not surprised to see a large and appreciative congregation at 11 a. m., as it was the first day of our revival to assist in bringing the World to Christ; also it was "Mother's Day." Pastor Holmes preached from a suitable text and lauded all good true Christian Mothers to the highest. He is very fond of his Christian mother, who is still living. He pays the highest tribute to his mother, and does not fail to make it known that it was due to her prayers that he became a Christian and a minister for Jesus. He sang "Mother's Prayer" and other suitable songs and some united with the church. At 2 p. m., over 1,200 listened to him preach the Odd Fellows' sermon. They took up $165, the largest collection yet, of any lodge's annual sermon. At 7:30 p. m., another large crowd assembled to hear Dr. G. Prince, of St. Joseph, open the revival campaign for sinners, and he certainly preached the Gospel pure and unadulterated. Five united with the church, three of them converts for baptism. He certainly preaches with Apostolic authority. The choir is much larger and sang beautiful appropriate songs, which the congregation knew. The ordinary church collection was more than $117. Monday evening Dr. Prince preached and explained that the Plan of Salvation is belief and faith in the heart and confession with the lips that Christ rose from the dead, and among the hearers a man, who was ING SERVICE FELLOWS and unite with God's Church. He received much commendation. During the exercises Atty. D. Green, G. M., and Master of Ceremonies, made a nice talk and introduced the District Officers, viz: Dr. Banks, Endow. Sec.; Mrs. Letitia Carter, D. R. N. G.; Mrs. L. T. Green, D. G. W. R.; and Mrs. B. J. Washington, Lieut. Col. of the 14th Regt. and the highest Odd Fellow in the district. This great Order, after singing the Odd Fellows' Ode and after the benediction marched out of the church before the vast audience to their homes determined to bring their membership, which is now 98% in Christianity, up to 100% as Christians. Right after the sermon many men gave the preacher their hands and promised to lead better lives. God grant this Order success, and that those who promised will keep their word. Mr. J. H. Weeden was Marshal of the day. Messrs. Readis and Edwards and others were on the Finance Com., and the following lodges took part: Operative Sons' Lodge No. 2136; K. C. Lodge, No. 4894; N. E.

An egg in the cup is worth two in the nest. No laugh is discordant that follows your joke. 1920 A.D. Hark to the rustling of the leaves! A soft answer has no effect upon a soft person. A man is never sure he knows until he makes good. A gem of thought is often impaired by a bad setting. A company is known by the man who dominates it. Do not let your keenness overshad ow your kindness. Ability is measured by deeds rather than by intentions. Good taste is a gift, but anybody can learn the rules. Some people put on alrs while others merely whistle them. One little hint is often worth more than a ton of advice. The cashier should be known by the company that keeps him. A tough beefstenk is a sure cure for its own consumption. Let us be frank and admit that we are all somewhat gossipy. Wealth and happiness are not all ways on the best of terms. Hard work is something of a prophylactic against bad luck. Don't forget that whatsoever a man saweth that will he also rip. Even when a woman weighs her words she gives good measure. It is said that all the world loves a lover, but the proof is missing. Get up with the lark, but don't disturb others with your larkings. When the halt is worth more than the fish it is time to stop fishing. Why does nearly all the milk of human kindness taste of the can? There is always an ill feeling between the doctor and the patient. It's so much easier to gossip about people than it is to pray for them. Father Time has to face smokeless powder in his battles with women. People seldom appreciate good advice unless they have to pay for it.

Read how it all happened: America's Telephone Industry According to the report by the bureau of the census showing the results of the census of telephones covering the year 1917, there are 53,234 separate telephone systems and lines. These lines and systems operated 28,827,188 miles of wire in the United States—enough to girdle the earth at the equator 1,153 times—and connected 11,716,520 telephones and 21,175 public exchanges. [St. Peters, Pa. Dr. R. H. Kline PA. 210 White St., Red Bank, N. J. Gemini Hospital. About six years ago I was taken with convulsions. I had fifteen convulsions in about three hours. I had two doctors with me and convalesced for some time. I was sent to the hospital for three weeks before I knew where I was. I stayed at the hospital for four weeks. Then my husband took me to the hospital and I have several attacks of convulsions. A little over two years ago when I had four very hard convulsions, at one time, a lady friend told me to try anything as I was troubled so severely. I got one bottle and took it and it made me feel a little better, so my husband said to continue at it. I never felt better in my life. If this letter will help anybody that has that kind of trouble, I hope they will take your Epileptic Kemedy, as I believe it will cure me. Yours truly. The messages or "talks" sent over these wires aggregated the stupendous total of nearly 22,000,000,000, or, to be exact, 21,845,722,335. Figured on the estimated population of the country in 1917, this gives 211 messages per annum to every man, woman and child.

Doctors and medicine did me no good. It seemed that I was beyond all hope of relief, when at last I secured a preparation that cured me sound and well. Over ten years have passed and the attacks have not returned. I wish everyone who suffers from this terrible disease would write to L. Lepso, 194 Island Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis., and ask for a bottle of the same kind of medicine which he gave. He has generously promised to send it prepaid, free, to anyone who writes him."—Adv.

After seven years the "tute" light in the lighthouse on the roof of the Seamen's church Institute has obtained official recognition on the government charts of New York harbor. For years this green beacon was ignored. Later it was recorded as a "fixed point." Now it is marked with a star on maps. The lighthouse was erected to commemorate the heroes of the greatest marine disaster in the modern world, the sinking of the steamship Titanic off Newfoundland April 15, 1912. The lighthouse was dedicated on the first anniversary of the disaster as a memorial created by public subscription and the work of prominent women. The light called "tute" by seamen, soon was guiding pilots who, as they "turned the Hook" 15 miles or more away, might make out the green and brilliant star supplied by the 7,500 candle power of three Cooper Hewitt quartz electric lamps 211 feet above the city streets. This green light on the starboard especially provided an excellent range for vessels making their way to the East river. The lighthouse also has carried since November 1, 1913, a time ball 4 feet in diameter which drops each day at "standard mean" noon, when, as "Arry remarks to Bill down in the slip," "she's jes 5 er'clock in Lumnin." WERE BURIED IN PYRAMIDS Aztec Dignitaries Had Imposing Tombs in the Little Village of San Juan Teotihuacan. The little village of San Juan Teotihuacan, which in the Aztec language meant "City of the Gods," was in the early days of Aztec history the scene of extraordinary religious ceremonies. The two pyramids, one dedicated to the sun, the other to the moon, are known to have been the tombs in which hundreds of tribal dignitaries were buried and excavators have exhumed wrought stone containing human bones, obsidian knives, terra cotta heads with broad faces and flat noses, fragments of rare pottery and great numbers of arrowheads. One of the most recent and most valuable discoveries was a jadeite mask of some past monarch, with the brow covered with the diadem known to early Mexican history. The pyramid to the sun and the one to the moon both contain chambers and their several stories are complete temples in themselves, but connected by winding stairs. The inscriptions having Chinese characteristics were discovered through excavating in the ruins of what has generally been known as La Ciudadela (The Citadel), but which, according to recent reports of investigators, are what is left of a pyramid larger and, perhaps, older than the two pyramids to the sun and the moon. Most people know that turpentine is a product of the pine tree, but are not acquainted with the means by which it is obtained. Beneath the bark of the tree are resin-secreting cells, whose output is meant by nature for healing wounds. If the skin of the tree be wounded severely, many more of these cells, much larger in size, develop and pour out great quantities of resin. Hence, to procure the resin, the bark is well scarred with cuts (preferably made in a series of parallel Vs), and a receptacle is placed beneath to catch the fluid as it exudes. The fluid is then distilled and the volatile part of it, which passes over, is turpentine. The residue is what we call "rosin" and is used for many purposes, one of its employments being in the manufacture of explosives.—Kansas City Star. R.

PAGE FOUR Milk Production Sensitive to Changes in Prices Milk production is so sensitive to changes in prices that the milk producer, the milk distributor, and the milk consumer are best protected through a fluctuating price which insures, as far as now seems possible, a fairly constant supply of milk, according to a bulletin just issued by the agricultural experiment station of the University of Illinois. Owing to the great variation in the monthly cost of milk production, a flat rate for any extended period would probably shift production to the more profitable months. If the price of milk fluctuates approximately with the cost of production, the distributor's supply is automatically regulated, the milk producer's market is protected, and the consumer is assured of a normal supply of milk throughout the year. The bulletin confirms the opinion held among dairy farmers of the great importance of pasture in milk production. The feed expense in the summer months in which pastures are good is occasionally only one-fourth of that in certain winter months when large amounts of farm-raised and purchased feeds are fed. The amount of man labor involved in the production of milk is considerably less in the summer months than in the winter months. This is true whether based upon the total amount of labor used on the herd or upon amount involved in the production of one hundred pounds of milk. Proper significance of this reduction in labor is appreciated only when attention is drawn to the fact that these savings in labor occur during the pasture season, which coincides with the crop season, when the maximum labor is needed in the field. Aside from man labor, feed and horse labor, the expenses of producing milk are more or less constant throughout the year. When all expenses are included the net cost of producing one hundred pounds of milk in June is sixty per cent of the year cost, and in December about one hundred and twenty per cent. With a fluctuating seasonal cost, it is expected that farmers will tend to concentrate production in the more profitable months. As the urban trade demands a constant supply of milk throughout the year, the price of milk must fluctuate approximately with the cost of production in order to prevent an extra shortage at one time and a large surplus at another. In other words, a properly adjusted fluctuating price for milk throughout the year protects the farmer's market and the distributor's and consumer's supply.

This country of ours possesses more mineral wealth than any other nation, though Great Britain (including what she controls) is a close second. We lead the world with 37 per cent of all the iron and 35 per cent of all the coal. These, of course, are most important. We own or control 72 per cent of all the petroleum. Copper is the great American metal. We produce 69 per cent of the entire world's yield of that invaluable substance. Of lead we produce 49 per cent and of zinc 32 per cent. England is away ahead of us where gold is concerned. We produce only 23 per cent of this precious stuff, whereas Great Britain's output amounts to 63 per cent. On the other hand, we claim 52 per cent of the silver—the Mexican output being under our commercial control—and it is actually in the power of our government to make the market price of the white metal whatever Uncle Sam chooses. Of the world's sulphur we produce 65 per cent. But we have no tin worth mentioning (a serious misfortune) and little potash. Now, however, the potash supply is no longer controlled by Germany, territory recently relinquished to France containing a large part of the deposits of that mineral salt—Philadelphia Ledger TWO ORPHANS ONE day Bab Rabbit was playing around the woods when he met Tom Kitten. "Where are you going?" asked Bab Rabbit, for at first he thought Tom was one of his relatives, he looked so much like his family. "Oh, I am going to play I am an orphan and get a fiddle; then everyone will give me mice. I expect I'll get rich because I saw a hand-organ man playing on the street and he got lots of pennies." "I wonder if I could get some young radishes if I played, too?" asked Bab. "I WOUNDER IF I COULD GET SOME YOUNG RADISHES IF I PLAYED TOO?" "I should not care for mice, you know." "Come along with me. I am sure we can get lots of things," said Tom Kitten. Off they run up to the farm over the hill, and hanging in the barn they found an old fiddle with one string and a drum with a hole in it. "We will have to look poor and forsaken if we want everyone to give us things," said Tom. "T'll make a hole in my coat and you tear your stocking." Oh, such a sight as those two creatures were when a little later they went along the road playing the old fiddle and the drum. But the nice or the radishes did not come, as they thought. Instead they made such bad music that all the cats in Catville threw tin cans after them, and by night time they were two very hungry and tired little fellows. "We might try your woods." said Tom.

So off to Woodville they trotted, and under the tree where Mr. Owl lived they began their music. When Mr. Owl heard the terrible noise outside, he ducked under the clothes and hid, for what was after him he could not think. But after a while, as nothing happened but the noise, Mr. Owl poked out his head, and then got up. But instead of getting out of the right side of his bed, as he first started to do, he got out this time on the wrong side, which made him very cross. He ran to the window and threw it up with a bang, and Tom Kitten and Bab Rabbit were sure this time they were to get a mouse or a radish. Each held up his hat and said: "Pity two poor orphans and give us something." "I'll give you something," said Mr. Owl, for he was cross when he went to the window, but when he saw who it was he was crosser than ever. Mr. Owl did not wait to dress. He flew right out of the window just as he was, in his night cap and slippers, and down he pounced upon the two orphans. He carried them up to his window, and there is no knowing what would have happened if the window had been large enough for Mr. Owl and Tom Kitten and Bab Rabbit to get through all at once, but it wasn't, and Mr. Owl, thinking Tom Kitten was a rabbit and could not get away, he sat him down on a limb of the tree until he could put Bab Rabbit inside. No sooner did he let go of Tom Kitten than away he went down the tree and off at his best running speed. Old Mr. Owl was so surprised that he dropped poor Bab Rabbit, and the moss under the tree was thick, and so when he struck it Bab Rabbit jumped up pretty quick and ran hippery-hop-leap away from around Mr. Owl's home. Tom Kitten and Bab Rabbit had a very hard time explaining how they tore their clothes, and to punish them their mothers made them stay in bed all the next day, and you may be sure that neither of them ever again wanted to play orphan: Doing (Copyright.)

That of the two bodily ease is the most to be desired, likewise needs no proving. Therefore, eliminate the corn. That you can do it by using CORNEASE Cures Corns needs only a single trial to demonstrate the fact to the most skeptical Try it and you will be convinced, because the corn will be gone. Don't think that because various "Corn Cures" have not succeeded, CORNEASE will fail you also. If it does you get your money back. At drupe's or box mail, 25 cents.
