ANSAS BASEBALL ASSOCIATION PARK K. C. MONARCHS VS. DAYTON MARCOS (Dayton, Ohio) AUGUST, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 FIRST APPEARANCE HERE GRAND LODGE OF K. OF P. CLOSED GREAT SESSION Session Was Saddened by Accidental Death of P. G. C. John E. Lewis Hutchinson, Kans.—The Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias, and Grand ourt of Calantae have just closed the greatest session ever held in the history of the order and Dr. S. H. Thompson, of Kansas City, was re-elected Grand Chancellor. Parsons, Kansas, was selected for the next annual session. All attention will be directed now to the next annual session and the meeting of the Supreme Lodge and Encampment next August, in Topeka. It will be the largest gathering ever held within the state, and great preparations will be made to entertain one of the greatest organizations in America. The sessions were full of interest from the time they opened until the close, and there is much credit due the people of Hutchinson for the great entertainment given to the visitors. There was a gloom cast over the opening, because just before the representatives had assembled, or even left their stopping places for the meeting, news reached the city that Past Grand Chancellor John E. Lewis, of Wichita, was killed in an automobile accident enroute to the Grand Lodge. Mr. Lewis was not only past grand chancellor, but he was the present supreme representative, and was busy getting ready for the 1921 meeting. He was a faithful worker. The Grand Lodge opened at 10:30 o'clock, and a committee on credentials was announced. Grand Chancellor having the information concerning the death of Past Grand Chalcellor J. E. Lewis, officially announced the death, and with bowed heads the Grand Lodge stood and sang "Shall We Meet-Beyond the River?" and Grand Prelate, Dr. J. R. Ransom, of Wichita, offered a prayer in which tears were brought to many eyes. A committee was appointed to go to the scene of the accident and if possible ascertain the cause of death. The opening of the Grand Lodge was complete, and in the afternoon there was a report of the committee on credentials, and was followed by the annual address of Dr. Thompson, which was a masterpiece of literature, as well as freighted with information touching the Grand Lodge. He took up every department of the Grand Lodge, putting special stress on the Uniform Rank which must play an important part during the Supreme Lodge. Charles Stewart, of Chicago, special guest of the Grand Lodge, was introduced and made remarks. The report of grand lodge officers followed in order. In the evening welcome addresses were delivered. The parade was Thursday afternoon. Uniform Rank. The Uniform Rank, under command of Brigadier General Thos. Kennedy, of Kansas City, showed this department to be in good working order and new companies being added. General Kennedy stated he was making great preparations to entertain the boys in 1921 at the Supreme Encampment at Topeka. The brigade meeting was held Wednesday evening, at which time the Brigadier General made his annual report. Captain J. D. Jones of Imperial Company No. 1, Wichita, was elected at this meeting Lieutenant Colonel of the First Reg- TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. iment.

GRAND COURT Wonderful progress was reported by the officials of the Grand Court of Calanthe, and the women were all loud in their praises of Mrs. Norene Davis, who has reached the heart of every woman in the grand court, and she was showered with many valuable and useful presents. She is a very queen in the chair. In her annual address, Mrs. Davis, touchingly referred to the death of J. E. Lewis, and paused while the grand court sang; "He Will Take Care of You." This was a pathetic scene. Mr. Lewis was active in the court and contributed much to its success. The address took up all departments of the work, and special stress was put on the Endowment department. The Grand Worthy Councellor had traveled extensively throughout her jurisdiction, and was familiar with each local court. She's a rousing speaker. Business was dispatched with rapidity, and the report of each grand officer showed that she was in harmony with the Grand Counsellor, and had contributed her part. The officers of the Grand Court who rendered reports as well as efficient service were: Mrs. Eddie K. Bowers, Wichita, Inx.; Mrs. Maggie L. Coran, Topeka, Ins.; Mrs. Bertha Garrett, Leavenworth, R. of D.; Mrs. Mattie Perkins, Topeka, R. of Dep.; Mrs. L. A. Wilson, O.; Mrs. Mollie Drumgound, Arkansas City, S. E. B.; Mrs. Ella Roberts, Wellington, T. E. B.; Mrs. Maggie King, Lawrence, S. Dir.; Mrs. Ida Klass, Parsons, J. Dir.; Mrs. Sallie Wigley, Salina, Escort; Corr Jordan, Leavenworth, Con.; Mrs. Sallie M. Graves, Pratt, Assist. Con.; Mrs. Carrie Banks, Winfield, Herald; Mrs. Edith Hawkins, Great Bend, Protector. All grand officers, of course. Resolutions. The Resolutions committee brought in the following and they were adopted by the convention: Whereas, we have been tendered the use of this court room for the accommodation of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias, during this one of the greatest sessions in our history, and, Whereas, the local lodge of this city having so conducted themselves as to command the respect of the people of both races in this city, therefore, Be it resolved, that we tender heartfelt thanks to the county officers and commissioners for their kindness and hospitalities shown us. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1920 CITY KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, A COLORED MAN IS NOMINATED FOR REPRESENTATIVE Primaries Brought Surprises to Many in Wyandotte Co. Politics The primary Tuesday is over and the candidates receiving the most votes, of course, won. MIDDLE ON Assess Dar is / Hutte than a to the Charles Ridgway won over Senator James Getty for state senator by at least 1,000. Arthur Stanley came under the wire ahead of his nearest opponent by 200 for representative of the Eighth district. J. H. Lee, a colored man of the Third district for representative, won over his opponent (white) by nearly 1,000. Mr. Lee lives in Rosedale and there are but few colored voters in this district. Sam Walker, colored, for marshal of the North City Court, is said to be elected, but it will take the official vote to decide. Wm. Bird was victorious by 1,500 majority. David Buckland, county commissioner, was nominated by over 500. Forest B. Anderson, the colored candidate for representative in the Eighth district, in the three-cornered fight, made a good showing, making his campaign single-handed. It is said many Democrats voted the Republican primary ticket, their object is to be seen at the regular election. J. E. LEWIS IS LAID TO REST Wichita, Kans., Aug. 2.—The funeral of John E. Lewis, who was killed last Tuesday by his automobile going over an embankment while on his way to Hutchinson, to the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias; was held Saturday afternoon at Mt. Hope Baptist church. A very large number of citizens of the city and many out of town people paid their last respects to the deceased and his family. Among the out of town Pythians were Dr. S. H. Thompson, Grand Chancellor and Mrs. Norene Davis, Grand Worthy Councillor of Kansas City. The services were solemn and sad. Many condolences were read by the church and lodges of which the deceased had been very prominent and active during his life. He was a Past Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias and a Grand Representative at the time of his death. SUMNER HIGH HONORED Three Scholarships Offered Graduates in Last Four Years. Miss Willie Jefferson, who graduated from Sumner High school May 28, has been offered a scholarship in the University of Chicago for the year 1920-2922. This will include all tuition adn fees for one year, renewable upon certain conditions. This is the third graduate of Sumner who has been offered a scholarship within a period of four years. When it is remembered that the University of Chicago offers only forty of these to all the schools affiliated with it, the honor is magnified. There are several hundred schools having affiliation with the university. Mrs. Lydia Ellis, 2500 North Tremont, has returned from St. Louis, where she spent two weeks at Poro College taking a course in special work. Rev. J. A. Broadnax, of Omaha, preached for Rev. Everett, St. Paul church, Argentine, Sunday. and we pledge them that our conduct in the future shall be within the principles for which our knighthood stands. Be it further resolved, that we vote our confidence and respect to Bonus Lodge No. 21 for their conduct while in their city. Be it further resolved, that the Grand Chancellor shall name a committee of five to ascertain and report the facts relative to the Knights of Pythias care and attention to the body of Sir Knight J. E. Lewis, following the accident in which he met his death. Be it further resolved, that we tender a vote of thanks to Rev. Chas. Stewart, the official reporter; also the press of the city, which has given us such wide space of notice regarding our session; and to the people who have cared for us during our stay in the city. J. R. RANSOM, J. H. GUY. ADVOCATE LOOK WHAT THE PEOPLE'S MERCANTILE COMPANY ARE DOING! They are giving the customer two and one-half cents (21/2c.) on the dollar in trade for every dollar's worth of groceries you buy at the PEOPLE'S MERCANTILE STORE. Ask the clerk for a coupon; save them until you get $10.00 worth saved up; bring them to the store and you will get 25 cents worth of groceries free. This is worth while, neighbor! Everybody should take advantage of this money saving proposition. This is the only grocery store in Kansas City doing this. What will President Banks do next? Watch and see. He is a great thinker for his race. You can yet buy shares for $5.00. Don't miss this opportunity. MIDNIGHT GETS IN ON KANSAS K. P. GRAND SESSION Asserts Mrs. Norene Davis, of Calanthe's is Young, But Fine Executive /Hutchinson, Kansas.—It is more than a mile from Asheville, N. C., to the place I take my pen in hand to write you a few lines to inform you of my health, but if you want to know it I will have to tell you that I am well at present and hope when these few lines come to hand they may find you the same. I have been through the windmill this year with the Knights of Pythias. I have been with the Knights in Georgia, the Knights in North Carolina, and now I am with the Knights in Kansas, and before you can get through reading this letter or even before you can see it, I will have been with the Knights in West Virginia and on my way to Alabama. I have been the most ridicest man in the country and don't you forget it. The world is moving along to a society fashion, and I am proud to say that my people are making wonderful progress, and I am just shouting all over myself. I expect to shout all over heaven in the same manner some day. Heaven is my home, but of course I am not homesick. I wrote to you last week as I passed through Chicago enroute to this place. I was in company with Mrs. Elvie L. Stewart when I penned my letter—in fact she wrote for me and she is some more writing woman. They tell me she takes after her husband, but that is none of my business, and I am not going to try to make it so. I thank her for doing my writing, for she refused to accept of pay, hence if you want any writing done call on her and she will do it free of charge. With a box filled with chicken, pie, gingerbread, pecans out of their hull, any many other good things, I left Chicago headed for Kansas City and this place over the Rock Island: Through train without a change, for I was in the bed car, and was ready to sleep, hence when I made goodbye to Mrs. Stewart, I went right in sat down and was soon asleep. I did not get to see the crowd at Joliet, where they had taken Jack Johnson off of the wagon. The porter on the wagon came to me and told me that the would fix my bed for me, and I moved, and soon that fellow had a real bed for me, and I crawled in it and was soon dreaming, about fish, eggs and the Lord knows what else. But such is life. I slept like a log until next morning, when I awoke we were nearing Kansas City. I ate some of the good chicken out of the box, and when the reporter told us that we were in Kansas City, I got out, and went up stairs to the stable to see what I could see. I met the head of the Missouri Pythians, his general and others. They said that they were there to meet the head of teh uniform rank of the whole order, General Robert R. Jackson. He was coming from Chicago, Grand Chancellor Iloyd with his official staff and the general was there to receive the military genius. While talking to them Dr. S. H. Thompson, whose guest I was, came in and he was headed for Hutchinson also, but he was going over the Santa Fe iron horse, but went back, changed his mmid and decided to ride with me. I was glad. of this, for I wanted to talk with some one. Pretty soon a tall lanky fellow came along and looked in my blue eyes, and, lo and behold, that man was Brigadier General Thomas Kennedy, editor of the Kansas City Advocate, and a great man in his line. He is at the head of the uniform rank for the whole state of Kansas, and I am told that he is a good one. Hence I was glad to have him shake my lily black hand and told me that he was glad to see me, but he, too, was headed over the Santa Fe, and went and made a change in order to be with me. Now what happened, we fellows all got on the Rock Island, and Dr. Thompson indicated: that he was hungry, Mr. Kennedy said that he would not mind eating a little bit, and I offered them some of my eatings, but they said that there was an eating car connected with the Rock Island, and they invited me to join them. Now I went nito that eating car with the men, and believe me, honey. I did not hesitate to eat. I think that dinner must have cost five hundred dollars, and then we went back for another meal, for there was a wreck ahead of us, so we did not reach town until 9 o'clock at night. We were due there at 5 o'clock. In town, I had been assigned to a place, but the committee did not know where it was. Mrs. Norene Davis, who wrote inviting me to be there, was not to be found, hence they sent me to the home of J. H. Taylor, whose wife was way out in Colorado, and he was the chief cook and bottle washer. I went to his home just the same, and he was just there. I don't like a home without a woman, but decided to make up. I met the next morning the other men who were to stop there, Mack Burgess, of Cherryvale; Melvin C. Pickens, of Pittsburg; Fred F. Edwards, of Galena; J. T. Haynes, of Parsons, and of course I was there. Now this was a happy bunch. As Fred Edwards shook my lily black hand, he said: "I have been reading after you for a long time, and, now I have the pleasure of seeing you, for I just knew you." He tried to shake my hand off. The next morning, I went to the home of Rev. R. C. Henderson, pastor of the . M. E. church, and found that they were looking for Rev. J. R. Ransom, of Wichita, and his son, who is a real body doctor was on hand already. I was not there but a few minutes before there was a ringing of the "Hello Box" and in answering it, I was informed that John E. Lewis, the Supreme Representative, and past chancellor was killed in an automobile accident. There were several others in the car. I called up Grand Chancellor Thompson, and informed him, and he was so excited that he cut his face and his finger. He was doing the shaving act. But he was soon town town, and had a committee on the search for the body. It was found. There was something wrong with the steering wheel, and the car went over an embankment, killing Lewis, and Thomas Haynes, of Parsons, had a broken rib, Editor W. A. Bettis, of Wichita, was slightly injured, while Attorney Fred C. Helm and A. A. Fuller were not hurt. The man who owned the car and was driving went to meet his God. Now I was there when the Grand Lodge opened, and believe me, honey, there was a gloom over the whole shooting match. Men wept like babies when Dr. J. R. Ransom made that special prayer, and if you know Dr. Ransom, you know that he is one more praying baby as well as a preacher of upstairs ability. They have a great man at the head of the order, and I was proud indeed, to have the pleasure of meeting him. Dr. S. H. Thompson is getting ready for the meeting next year. I am sure you recall the supreme representatives of the lodge and court got their heads together in Atlantic City last year and won the meeting to them. It will be perhaps the biggest meeting ever held in Kansas, and the people are going to be there in large numbrs. I am not going into details, for next I was in company with Mrs. Norene Davis, and her husband, Tilford Davis. They were delighted to shake my lily black hand, and NUMBER 1. THIRD ROBBERY OF NEGRO'S HOME BRINGS KILLING When Robber Tried to Open Door With Key, Alex. Kile Shoots Through Door The home of Alexander Kile, 746 New Jersey avenue, has been robbed three times within as many months. Wednesday night some one attempted to enter the front door, by placing a key in the lock, when Mr. Kile procured a revolver and shot through the door and killed the intruder, shooting him through the chest. He was afterwards identified as Luther Williams, who lived in that neighborhood. Mr. Kile is being held at police headquarters, but probably will be released. "I believe the federal government should stamp out lynching and remove that stain from the far name of America." "I believe the Négro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood on the battle-field of the republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands."—Senator Harding's Speech of Acceptance, Marion, O., July 22, 1920. Mr. Arthur Younger left Tuesday for Detroit, Mich. Mrs. Davis said that she was glad to see me in Kansas, and told me to be at home with them. Her husband bought a dish of ice cream for me, which I enjoyed so very much. Mrs. Davis is a young woman, but believe me. she is a great woman and a leader among women. She has the love and respect of all the members of the order and many of them are much older than she is, but she is well trained, a woman of rare attainments and ability, and her work stands out for itself. I was real proud to see her and to talk with her, to hear that great address of hers, which will take its place in modern literature. She is a thinker and knows how to express her thoughts. Thomas Kennedy, the general, is the right man for the place. The uniform rank as you realize, will cut a big figure in the supreme lodge, and it would pay you to see these soldiers march. They stay in fents, and are under strict military rule. Young men of Kansas are now getting into the order and there will be more uniform ranks formed from time to time in the state during the year. The young men of pride will join in making this the greatest thing ever held in Kansas by any race. Atlantic City papers said last year that it was the greatest parade ever witnessed in the city by any people, and the same thing will be said n Kansas. Topeka is getting ready. The supreme lodge and court per se are small bodies, but there are so many things which go with them. Thousands of people who never go into the supreme bodies, but they are in town just the same and add much to the number and the success. I referred to Tilford Davis, you know him. He is the poet. I met many people in Kansas, some of them desired to look into my blue eyes before they died. I am glad that I had the pleasure of meeting these great people. Time will not permit me to say more at this time, and I will have to bring this letter to a close. God bless you.

Newsome at the beautiful and modern home of Mrs. Tyler, 121 East Tenth street, while in Hutchinson last week attending the Grand Session of Knights of Pythias. We highly appreciated the hospitality of this popular and eminent physician and also to our hostess, Mrs. Tyler, who is one of the model women of her city. IN MEMORIAM, J. E. LEWIS Speak sortfly, and a penetential tear Let fall upon the knightly bier Of him who lately led the fight For conscience, duty and the right. Speak softly, and with bared head Gaze mournfully upon the bed Where lies a pince of Pythian blood But now embarked on Charon's flood. Speak softly, and thy hearts lay bare All ye, who, sad-eyed, gather here. To say farewell, with sob and moan, To him who late our love hath known Speak softly, test the heart should break With pent emotions,—now awake; And goodly rev'rence pay the dead, Though re'er a mournful word be said. Speak softly, oh! the sublime peace, The sated hope, the blest release That he for whom our teardrops flow, In realms of bliss must ever know. So live, and in your living.—learn, Through blinding tears, with hearts which burn.— That fierce and penitential fire But rid the soul of all its mire. And when, like him, your sword- arm's spent The vigor gone, which God hath lent, With vigor up, complete the race— Stand at salute!—Jehovah face —TILFORD DAVIS, JR. Hutchinson, Kas., July 28, 1920.

CHURCH NEWS An extra large audience of worshippers attended the morning service to hear the pastor, Rev. J. F. Griiiin, deliver as usual, an exception: strong Gospel sermon, Dr.Griffin's sermons never become, as is the case of some ministers who have filled the same pulpit for several years. "A tinkling brass and sounding symbol," but each sermon is as fresh, as though it being the first his audience had heard. Rev. Albert Miller, one of the church's local ministers, filled the sacred rostrum at the evening service and as he always gives to his hearers, he preached a highly appreciative sermon. The worshippers of First Church are always delighted and enjoy Rev. Miller's sermons. The Sabbath school is still on the upward 'march and those who attend are being well paid for their time spent in this department of the future church. It pays the home of any parent, to raise up their children in the Sunday school. (Many who neglect this part of their parental duty, come to regret it in days to come, and when they are compelled to say, "Too late; too late." The Junior choir furnished the music, which was highly pleasing to a good Sunday night audience. Come to Friday night class, where the spirit of the Christ will meet you and strengthen your will for righteousness. The lecture room is well filled with worshippers. Special services Sunday; bring your house guests; invite the stranger and visitors are ever welcome. Come and hear a spiritual and scholarly sermon. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Sunday, August 1, 1920 was a patriotic day at this church. In the morning many Christians of the large congregation testified in Covenant for our Saviour. The pastor announced Governor Allen would be present at night and lecture on "Christian Education." The report of the Kaw Valley Association was read by Miss Olive Henderson and the pastor said: "She was a splendid delegate." After church, he went in his auto after Mrs M. C. Matthews to write the special feature of the night service. She displayed flags and the national colors on boards, which assisted in getting out a large crowd. The governor praised the large crowd on such short notice and said in part: "All true education is Christian education." Told of our rapid progress in 50 years, and said all races need education to give real justice to their fellow men." Pastor Holmes introduced the governor by telling of his fairness in protecting one of our race from being extradited to a state where he might be lynched. Dr. Barksdale delivered the invocation and the choir sang, "Immanuel" for the offertory and "America" at the close of the lecture. Two white reporters and the society The Advocate took notes and she presente dthe governor with a poem and he bowed acquiescence. The large audience filled the main auditorium and many also were in the THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE balconies and gave him prolonged ovations of approval. The collections were large and an after collection was taken for a teacher from a Southern college. Next Sunday, August 8, good sermons and music will be given and the Holy Sacrament taken. All are asked to attend this church. "Pure religion and undefined before God and the Father is this.

Campbell, Pastor. On last Sunday the weather was fine and the people seem to be very anxious to attend church. The Sunday school was fine and is doing very nicely. The morning service was preached by Elder Farr and Elder T. Thomas and Elder Stuckey, and the pastor made the closing talk. All made excellent talks, after the sermon a librai collection was taken up. $22.25. The Bible Band is steadily improving and is doing nicely. The night sermon was preached by Elder Wright and he preached a noble and grand uplifting sermon, and it was certainly enjoyed by all his listeners. His subject was Monday night: "Oh, righteous man, it is death in the pot."—2 Kings 4:40. Elder Wright is a blind man, but he preaches better than some men who have two eyes. It is a treat to hear this noble speaker. August 10th is his last night here. After the sermon a small donation was taken up. Elder I. C. Collins, who is pastoring in Parsons, Kans., preached Tuesday night with Elder Wright. Both are splendid speakers. Come out Sunday and see and hear what is going on. This meeting is expected to run all this month. Come help us save souls of men and women. Now if you are a minister of God you will not refuse this open invitation before this month is out. The Church of the Living God is opposite Rev. McNeal's church on Oakland avenue. It is time for us colored folks to get together on God's word and lay aside old malice and strife and be moe lovey. Come, let us reason together. Fort Scott, Kansas Presiding Eller Payne held a glorious service here Sunday. His sermons and songs were blessed of the Holy Spirit and there were many helped.

Yes, kiddies, you are to see a real circus, the Sells-Floto, and it is coming to Kansas City, Kansas, on Sunday, August 15th, all the way from Bartlesville, Oklahoma, to give two performances in this city on Monday, August 16th, afternoon and night. This is the circus that recently gave four performances in Kansas City, Missouri, pleasing four of the greatest audiences that ever assembled in the circus tents in that city, and it's all coming to us with its three rings and stages, and its great hippodrome track filled with performers, that give a splendid exhibition of every kind of act to be seen under circus tents. There are aerial acting acts, ground acts, wire acts, clown acts, elephant acts, and in fact, scores of other acts that will please the people of all ages. The circus trains will reach the city some time during Sunday and the unloading will begin immediately and soon after the city of the "Circus Beautiful" will be a reality. And won't the kiddies be glad? The performances are given on Monday at 215 and 8:15 o'clock, the doors opening one hour earlier so that the great crowds may have plenty of time to pass through the menagerie and take a look at the sights and then into the big top, where the program begins promptly on time with the pretty spectacular entree, "The Birth of the Rainbow." Don't forget that there is to be a parade which will be worth your while. It leaves the circus grounds at 11 o'clock on the morning of circus day—calliopes, bands and all.

(First published July 23, 1920) THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE ers of Port Pirie, the mining center of South Australia, has had unexpected developments. The laboring man is now talking prohibition and meaning it. The sun is warm and the wharves are busy, but the hotels are empty. The strike committee, which has been aiming at a reduction in the retail price of beer, has passed the following motion: "That as the workers have gone without alcoholic liquor for so long (about a fortnight) this committee considers that they can manage without it altogether, and that, therefore, the secretary be instructed to invite the Rev. C. E. Schafer and the Rev. F. Lade to visit Port Pirie and address a meeting of union workers, with a view of considering the advisabeness of initiating a campaign for a referendum on prohibition and in the meantime declaring this a dry town." The hotel keepers of Port Pirie are now demanding from the brewers a reduction in the wholesale price of beer, which will enable them to retail beer at the old price. Whether they have waited too long will presently be shown. The Kansas City, Mo., fire department hand ball team came over Wednesday and was easily defeated at fire headquarters.

The little enclosure was neatly kept, and bright witr flowers, bordering a strip of greensward. The man who was working straightened up and wiped the perspiration from his face, glancing toward the fence. "Good evening," nodded the lunatic. "What a pretty place you have." "Yes, it's rather nice." "Lived here long?" "About ten years." "Takes lots of time to keep a place looking good." "Yes, it does." I put in about all my spare time." "Still it's a satisfaction, to have nice surroundings." "Sure. When I came here the yard was full of weeds and rubbish. Had not been cared for at all." "I suppose you bought* the place pretty cheap, though?" "Oh, it isn't my place." "No? Just workig heie?" "Why, of course, it's mine in a way so long as I pay the rent." "Oh, then, it isn't your house and garden?" No. They belong to Bagley, the banker. Lives up the road there in the big grounds." "Oh, yes. I noticed them. My! But it must take him lots of time to trim his walks." "He trim walks? I guess not. He pays three or four gardeners to do it." "Then, of course, as this is his he pays you for your work?" "Don't you believe it? I pay him for letting me live here." "The, of course, he lets you have it less than the folks who neglect it?" "Ha! ha! You're funny, aren't you? Why, he charges me more or account of improvel property." "And won't the house and garden ever be yours?" "Not likely. It's all I can do now to pay the rent."
