The Supreme Royal Circle of Friends of the World Comes to Kansas City, Kansas. The Order That Benefits You While Living. Over 1700 New Members on Missouri Side in Four Months KANSAS VOLUME VII THERE ARE PLACES IN HELL FOR ONE OR TWO PEOPLE Midnight Names a Race Hater Who Went as Crazy as a Bed San Angelo, Texas.—I want that my race shall put their case in the hands of God, and get where God can use them, and where He can know them, and know that they are trusting in Him. He is sure to right our wrongs, and consign to the lowest put of the place where the wind was never known to blow, and water has never been. He has certainly been doing some great things for us, and it is not all over yet. I imagine that I can hear the cries from down yonder now coming from Jarman, that man who shot as far as I can glean the Johnston boys during that trouble in Elaine. He wants just a little water, hot or cold, and then he wants the fire put out for a little while that he might get a little rest. Burn on Jarman, burn on, for you have earned your place in that hot place. You took the lives of those young men, and I heard you say that one of them looked mean. A good reason for taking human life. You were permitted to go as crazy as a bed bug before you finally made your way to hell. Burn on, ye destroyer of human life, and get a slight idea how those boys suffered. One by one God is taking those men away from here. Just last week another one of them passed into the Great Beyond, and one more to furnish heat and light. While they are burning twelve men are in the penitentiary awaiting the action of Justice or injustice—which? I am not prepared to answer. But I am not here to preach this week, but to make my usual talk to you this week. I am well at present—no not well, but lingering between a sick man and a well man knocking along the best I can hoping to be myself soon. I thought at one time the end was right on me, and then I would not get to see my friends any more. I fixed up all of my papers ready for the kingdom. It was in Belton that I lost my breath, and actually found myself in the mud on a rainy dreary day, but got better for a while, and have been to see a doctor down here, who has given me some get well medicine. I do not know just what the result will be, but if I do not get well and pass out the paper will let you know about it. I have been moving some during the past week, and I am going to move some more. When I took my pen in hand to write to you last week I was in Temple, Texas, with Rev. L. M. Sanders, and when I left him I found my way to Belton, where I was the guest of Prof. L. B. Kincheon, principal of the Belton high school, president of the State Teachers' Association of Texas, grand lecturer of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of Texas. representative of the Allen Christian Endeavor League of the African Methodist Episcopal church and an official in his local church, and he may be some other things I did not find out. He has a good school, I know. I had the pleasure of going to the home of Mrs. Marjorie Baity-Robinson, one of the teachers in the school in fact she is considered one of the very best primary teachers in this country, and she has her a little girl, and is determined that she shall be educated. I enjoyed being in their home, and then talking to the people of Belton, and from there I made it to Lampasas, then to Brownwood, then to Ballinger, all of these going good places, and found my way ending in San Angelo; where I am writing you this message. I reached the city Saturday afternoon, and there was a committee to meet me, Rev. H. A. Young, D. D. pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. church; Lloyd Phelps, proprietor of a large firm (Concluded on Third Page) Royal Circle of Benefits You W K. OF P.

RICHMOND, GRAND SUPERVISOR (From the Kansas City, Mo., Call.) states of the United St A. L. Richmond, May His Tribe In- District of Columbia, hoorick of 15000 Undoubtedly Mr. A. L. Richmond is and will prove a most valuable acquisition to Kansas City's fraternal and business life. He came here a little more than two months ago from Little Rock, Ark. To come into a strange city unheralded and unknown and organize a society of which almost as little was known as of himself, putting over eleven hundred members into the same is no small achievement. As the Supreme Supervisor of The Royal Circle of Friends of the World for the jurisdiction of Missouri and Kansas, having done most valuable construction work for his organization in the South the supreme authority decided to assign him to this field. He came into town, opened offices at 1834 Paseo and went to work as quietly as he came in. In less than a week he had the city buzzing about The Royal Circle of Friends. Local organizations began to spring up and members fairly teamed in. How it was done nobody knows but Richmond and he is by no means communicative in this respect. Decides to Make Kansas City His After looking over the possibilities of this city Mr. Richmond has decided to make this his future home. has moved his family here and will buy a home as soon as a suitable location can be found. Said he: "I like the progressive spirit of our people here, I like the schools and the churches. With a little better and a more cohesive organization among our group this will become one of the greatest and most important centers in the United States." Mr. Richmond has already made his influence felt in public and civic affairs. As a member of the Negro Chamber of Commerce of Little Rock, Ark., he has been of great assistance by reason of his experience gained there in organizing the Chamber of Commerce here, serving on the committee on organization and on the committee on constitution and by laws. He also took an active part in the charity drive and served as a member of the committee on advertisement and publicity. The Supreme Royal Circle of Friends of the World, a Fraternal Insurance Order operating in all the the board of directors of the association will visit our city February 7-8-9. She will be touring the West and expresses a desire of meeting individually every member and ex-member of the Branch here, together with every one in sympathy, with the work.

KENNEDY, PUBLISHER. to Kansas City Members on Mis K. OF P.S PLAN TO ERECT TEMPLE IN K. C., K., SOON Site at 524 State Avenue Selected, as Being Near Business Section of City The Knights of Pythias of the city are making arrangements rapidly to rect a Pythian Temple on their lot, 524 State avenue. The charter has been received and the building committee has given out their plans to a number of architects who will soon submit their drawings to those in charge. The proposed Temple will be three stories with a full story basement above the ground. Inside widhb 44 feet an d100 feet long. The first floor will be made into one large auditorium, the second floor will have office rooms on the front, with a hall in the rear. The entire third floor will be used for the order. The basement floor will be fitted up with reception rooms, shower baths and an armory for the Uniform companies, also aparements for the custodian. It is also planned for a number of guest chambers for visiting members. A nice library room will be one of the most attractive rooms in the building. The building will be modern throughout, with all modern conveniences. While it is not situated on a corner, the location is an ideal one, being only one block from the central business district and from the one general transfer point of the city. "The Coming Messiah" Drew Large Audience The musical cantata, "The Coming Messiah," given Tuesday night by the Senior choir of First A. M. E. church, was attended by one of the largest audiences that has been seen in the church for a long time. Its rendition was excellent for such heavy parts. The solos, duets and trios were all rendered well. The chorus was fine. Mrs. Opheliya Watts-Jackson, the organist and instructor, deserves great credit in bringing the choir up to such a high musical standard. The violin solo, "Hungarian Rhapsody," (Hauser) by Mr. Chas. T. Watts, a brother of the organist, was great. The reading, "The Sioux Chief's Daughter," by Mrs. Willia Dwigigns, was very well rendered. This entertainment was one of the treats to those present that will not soon be forgotten. EDUCATION DA FIRST A. M NUMBER 25. DR. RANSOM NOW IS WORKING HARD AND FAITHFULLY Death of His Wife Has Sorrowed the Eminent Divine to a Great Extent (Tool late for last week.) Temple, Texas.—When I took my pen in hand to write you last week I was in Wichita, Kansas, but believe me I have been moving some since then, and I am now in that big state which belongs to the big place, but I am not going to tell you what I mean for I do not want you to know all that I know, and then some. You know I spent some little time with Dr. J. R. Kansom, of the African Methodist Episcopal church and a leader in Kansas. He had been before the church for episcopal honors and did not make it, but he is working all the harder. He is not like Dr. Cook, get in the game, get defeated and then withdraw from the church, trying to have a little kingdom of his own. Dr. W. D. Cook is his own bishop and king just now, but it is hard to tell what the future will bring to his movement. If God approves of it, it will succeed, and if not it will be like mushrooms, up today and down tomorrow. We shall all watch. But I must not get away from Dr. Ransom, for a passing word is due him just now, because he is in sorrow. The woman who placed her hand in this hands many years ago, the mother of his children, has been called to her eternal reward, and he is indied a lonesome man, although he tries to keep a stiff upper lip. You can see a great change in him, but let us all hope and pray now that his son, E. B. has a wife, and has gone to live with his father, that Dr. Ransom will get back to himself again. The young bride is all sunshine and roses, and will make any home happy. I had the pleasure of meeting her the second day after marriage, or the first morning, and she was cheerful, gleeful and happy and just scattered sunshine all around her, and I got some of it myself, for I was down at the mouth fland needed a cheering word from some source. Time will have something to say to us all this year, and just what Father Time is going to say I am not prepared to anticipate, but let us be ready for whatever it may be. I recall the meeting of the National Negro Business League, Philadelphia, Pa., last summer, and I remember how Atlanta, Ga., secured it for next ugust. I recall some of the Atlanta people.

The lower auditorium had its usual capacity with the gallery taking care of those who were unable to be accommodated on the main floor. The reception of members at the close of the service were the addition of members to the church. The choir was out in full and their sweet anthems and Gospel singing were food for the souls of their hearers. The Reverend Mr. C. W. Redd, of the C. M. E. church, Leavenworth, preached to a fair Sunday evening audience. Rev. Redd is an earnest Gospel preacher. The faithful Junior choir, with Prof. Wise as their choirister and organist, rendered a number of spiritual songs, which is always enjoyed by the Sunday night congregation. Come out and hear them. The Sunday school grows in interest, grows in number and grows in finance, with most every Sunday. There is enrolled close on to four hundred and their goal is five hundred by Easter. New scholars are being brought in every week, but still hundreds of boys and girls in the city never see inside of a Sunday school room. Somebody is responsible. Womanhood and manhood of worth come through our Sunday schools. The Allen League invites especially the young to their Sunday evening meeting at 6:30, but all are welcome to be present and take an active part in the lesson and express your thoughts on the lesson. Good music and helpful talks by pastor and others. The Fifth Sunday in this month will be Educational Day. How much has education been worth to you? How much is it being worth to you? What valuation do you place upon education? You can only appreciate its worth of what others have done for us. And so we must contribute to the cause if we expect the light to keep burning and with a greater candle power. No one should give less than a dollar for Education, and many should give much more. The sick of the church are few at this time, considering the large membership, and none seems to be seriously ill. The entire old board of trustees were re-elected last Friday night. A better set of men probably never conducted the business affairs of any church. The church roll of members are being revised, which is done once a year, and as is usually the case there are some lost sheep to be found. It is the desire of the pastor and official board that no one's name be left off of the church roll, who claim their membership in First Church, so if you have not been reporting to your leader regularly see that your name is enrolled with your present address. A "Cedar of Lebanon," (grown at Bonner, Springs), has been planted in front of the parsonage. It looks quite cheerful, at this special season of the year. Argentine, Kansas St. Paul A. M.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, 1921 GROUP OF PROMINENT WORK SPECIAL GUSTS AT PORO COLLE SARY DURING THANKSGIVING DR. RANSOM NOW IS WORKING HARD AND FAITHFULLY (Continued to First Page) the manager of the Atlanta Mutual, and he was a man who enjoyed himself with the ladies and others. He was a big man and had money to burn. I looked at him, and wished more than one time that I could do that way. Just about the time you think a fellow is rich, something will happen. It is not confined to any race race or color, but to all who live fast and enjoy life with some money entrusted in your care and keeping. I am not going to say that this happened to Manager Lindsay, but I do know that the newspapers announce that he has been arrested and his bond fixed at $25,000 because he was just a little short, a few pennies amounting to $22,000. Let us pray for him that he may hold out and hold on to the end. I note that the auditor, C. C. Shanks, and the cushier, Miss Marie Anderson, are also involved. I hope you will be able to prove yourself not guilty, Brother J. C. Lindsay. I recall when he was sent to Atlanta as general manager, there was a beautiful young woman working in the office and attending Atlanta University, Miss Linnie M. Cloud. He had not been there long before she was discharged and entered suit against the lord for $10,000. She said that he had made an improper proposition to her and because she would not accept he fired her. I don't know and I don't care. but all things come out when you get in a little trouble. Miss Cloud has left Atlanta, and gone to Detroit, perhaps married, and I am not going to bring those things up. I have been to Chickasha, Okla, spending a few hours there with the people, and seeing much progress being made by my people and I am proud to say that we are making it to the top of the mountain. Look to the future. I have seen a few things to make me happy. From Chickasha I went to Dallas, Texas, got to the hello box, spoke to Dr. E. Arlington Wilson and in a few minutes he was right there at the union stable with his fine automobile car carriage and toted me to his home, where his wife had an appropriate breakfast ready for us, and believe me honey I got on the outside of it in the latest style. I met many of my friends in town, spoke to them, saw the fine church where the Council of Bishops will meet next month, and then turned down the state, going to Waco, Rockdale, Cameron and to the place where I am now. But I must not forget to tell you that I had the pleasure of calling at the home of Mrs. Jimmie Westbrook-Weems. She is a bride, having married during the Christmas, George W. Weems, a busy man of Dallas. She was a teacher in the Beaumont public schools and resigned to become the bride of this promising young man. He holds a good position, and what is more he purchased his lots, erected his home, and had it furnished ready for her when she stepped into his life. It is a cozy little cottage with four rooms, neatly furnished, and she was supplied with plenty eats. He presented his bride with fivee twenty-dollar gold pieces as a Christmas token. I, wish them well in life. In this city I am the guest of Rev. and Mrs. L. M. Saunders, of the A. M. E. church. Dr. W. D. Miller has been here, and made a big speech, representing the five million dollar drive for his church. He took in $600 for the occasion. Good for him. I shall not have more, to say just now, J. D: MIDNIGHT. Mr. C. A. Long is still indisposed. hotel in this place and a prominent business man; John Barber, connected with the First National bank, and a prominent citizen. Mr. Barber had his fine automobile carriage Buick car to tote us all, and he gave us a spin around before he landed me in the parsonage where I am domiciled for a few days. Rev. Young is one of the aggressive young ministers of Texas and while he is not making much fuss he is just getting right into the hearts of the people, and some day the general church will recognize his worth and training and promote him to higher things. He is worthy of any honor that may come to him, well trained and a good preacher as well as a good pastor. Mr. Phelps is a representative of the aggressive young men. He has made his way from the ground up. He purchased the ground, erected the hotel for cash with 17 guest rooms, fine dining room—in fact all that goes to make up a modern hotel is there, and in operation. Mr. Barber is an industrious trained man, full of life and vigor and he has shown the possibilities of a well trained man. He fills an important position, although there is not much said about it. He has invested his money in a fine home and some other property. It would take me a long time to tell you about San Angelo, and will here step aside long enough to mention one of the aggressive women of the town; a business woman, Mrs. Inez Chance, hair dresser, who is operating her own parlors, and is a graduate from Poro College, and is one of the agents of that great institution. Her place is no snide place, but first-class parlors, where she makes braids to order from combings does the manicuring, does special massage, treats the scalp and does the shampooing act. This is not all. If you will recall in the annex of the Poro College there is a first-class bakery, and Mrs. Chance does the baking act also. She is considered one of the finest bread-making women in this country, and in all of her lines she is kept busy. Courteous, polite and is every ready to serve her people. She is an inspiration to the girls. I went to her place and she made my finger nails look like a mirror, so that I could behold my own face and admire my personal beauty. She is a worker in the A. M. E. church, and I am told by Dr. Young that she is a good worker. It would just take me a whole letter to tell you about San Angelo, about old Fort Concho, which was at one time occupied by the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry, protecting the white folks against the Indians. More to follow. I am informe dthat times are getting in good shape now for the supreme lodge of Knights of Pythias. Supreme Chancellor Green, Supreme Worthy Counsellor Hidrington, will soon go out and make an inspection, and then the people will get right down to business. I shall keep you posted from time to time what they are going. Grand Chancellor Thompson and Grand Worthy Counsellor Norene Davis, and all the other officers are working together. They will be ready for the visitors when they come. I want to be there if I am here. We are all watching now for the things that are going to happen. Bishops of the A. M. E. church will meet in Dallas next month, and other things will take place. Hope you are going to be in Tuskegee to the conference. Tell me about it. The funeral of the late Mrs. Eliza Dudley, an old and respected Christian citizen, took place from her home on Hallock avenue, Tuesday. KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE OF THE COUNTRY WHO WERE ANNUAL BUSINESS ANNIVER- METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES As this was the first Sunday that Dr. Perry was to preach, a large multitude gathered in response to the publicity committee's blackboard bulletins and announcement in The Advocate. Dr. Perry is a spiritual Godsent man, and he preaches with Apostalic authority. On Tuesday he preached on the "Laws of Organic Co-Operation," showing how God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost co-operate and each perform a special duty; how Gideon's band of 300 put 135,000 to flight, and said our greatest failure is, "we do not know how to cooperate." Although he calls himself an humble pastor, many of his sermons are wonderful. About seven other preachers have been attending and praise his sermons highly. Wednesday he preached the Universal Call, Matt. 11:28. Thursday "The Life Is Not Dull It's the Liver Blue-life doesn't seem worth the living your best friends annoy you-everything goes wrong?

At 8 p.m. the organist played "Pass Me Not," as a voluntary beautifully, and he preached on "The Star of the East." Jesus' birth and spoke against women not wanting to bear children. Monday, January 17t, "The Law and the Gospel" was also a fine sermon.

Some were in the balcony. President Curry presided with his usual affable way. After opening with sacred music and prayer, quotations were given and Miss Ollie Mae Henry gave interesting current events in a pleasing manner. The tenor solo by Mr. Jackson, one of Prcf. Reynolds' pupils, was sung so sweetly, he was encored. Then came the main feature, the address by Dr. J. F. Ream, pastor of Washington Boulevard A. M. E, church. He said in part that "prejudice" and narrowmindedness are two of the greatest evils of Satan. He believes in the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. He was loudly applauded for his avowed friendship to our race. The president gave Mr. C. Jenkins the honor of introducing Dr. Ream, and you all know he did it intelligently. The pi- ano solo, by Master Kenneth Heitz, was so well executed that he was encored. The president and Mr. T. Davis discussed the address, and Prof. Hodge also discussed the need of proper recreation for children. All agreed with Dr. Ream that our city needs places for general recreation in winter. Then came a climax, the Sophomore solo by Miss Adeline Johnson, of Douglass school. She also is one of Prof. Reynolds' pupils. She sang about Sumner being gone away, and warbled so birdlike, she received an ovation and an encore. Next Sunday, January 23, Dr. Perry will be the principal speaker, and Prof. Rufus Brown will have charge of the program. Come at 4 p.m. Cithizens' Forum Program January 23.1921.

E. church, which for effectiveness and substantial results surpass all such efforts in the hisetory of this charge. There were 40 conversions and accessions and the people were greatly awakened. The campaign of enlightenment conducted by the Evangelist was commended by all the people who attended the services. The specials for women only, men only, for girls and young women were productive of great good. The special addresses on "Heredity, Pre-natal Influences, Ideal Womanhood, Exulted Manhood, Problems of Young Women, the Social Dance and the Double Moral Standard were well received. The Social Dance was the most sensational, and a number of persons confessed themselves to have been convinced of the evil of the dance. The evangelist who conducted this wonderful meeting was Dr. R. A. Adams of Kansas City, Kansas, who is a student of practical and theoretical sociology, eugenics, social economics and a specialist in nathology. Ours was the first campaign conducted by Dr. R. A. Adams since his health caused him to cease his labors 10 months ago, and the vigor evident shows that he has "come back." He is now making engagements to conduct campaigns. To all who desire a safe, sane, modern and effective evangelist and one whose work will give substantial results, I unhesitatingly recommend Dr. R. A. Adams. He can be reached at his home, 634 Franklin avenue, Kansas City, Kans. C. S. BOWMAN, Pastor, Bethel A. M. E. Church. BISHOP VERNON CABLES ALL ARRIVED SAFELY IN AFRICA The mother: of Bishop W. T.

NICODEMUS, KANSAS Mr. Thomas Kennedy, Kansas City, Kansas, Dear Sir and Brother: Enclosed herein please find money order for my renewal. So please give me credit for same. The Lord is blessing the efforts put forth at this place (and we are giving Him the praise.) On December 12 we started our revival which was conducted by Mrs. Etta Scott-Holloway, the evangelist, and had a great success. One convert and four backsliders returned to the fold. Six united with the church and $123 was raised for the evangelist. Last Sunday, January 9, we had our second quarterly conference and we had one convert and $50 was raised on that date. We raised this quarter $1,049.43. Stewards, $398.72 and trustees, $643.02; literary, $10.50; Sunday school 82 cetns; W. M. Missionary, $1.87 and added nine to our church. So you see the Lord is with us, and if the Lord is willing I expect to have as nice a church as there is in the District by the time he returns to us for the next quarter. We are putting on a metal ceiling at Hill City and putting in two large windows at Nicodemus; also building a be itlower and some other repairs inside. Whenever you can come out and see us and see this western country you will say this is the place for our people if they want to accumulate anything in the future. Land is selling from $25 to $50 per acre and in five years from now, it will be worth from $50 to $100 per acre. W. W. ARNETT, Pastor. MR. AND. MRS. WILLIAMS Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THE CRUISE OF THE CLEO Synopsis:—A disgraced sailing master, Marchbanks, is engaged by a mysterious hunchback, to sail a steamer down the Pacific coast of Central America, on a mysterious errand. He discovers that the car carrying him to the vessel is in charge of a young lady who wears a chauffeur's uniform. Unseen forces try to prevent them reaching the vessel. They are arrested and taken to a police station. They are released by the desk sergeant in charge when the girl impersonates the daughter of a prominent political "boss." Marchbanks attempts to pay a second chauffeur and is accused of passing counterfeit money. Finally they reach the vessel, the "Cleo." They are pursued by a tug, and Miss Person a passenger jumps overboard to join a man on the small boat. The tug is repelled with hot water. The enter the Qcos river, during the play of a searchlight, which causes Rountree to commit suicide, fearing arrest. After supper conversation lan- I brought up the subject of returning to the steamer the following day, but she would have none of it. She was firm. Now that she was near what she sought she was determined to go on. At length we gave it over. "Market street must look nice and bright tonight," she remarked. "Don't bring up that subject— please," I pleaded. "I'd give half of my next years' earnings just to be arrested by a policeman there ton- tion." "And suffer imprisonment for highway robbery?" she asked. "I had almost forgotten the incident," I said. "Was that Fred or friends of Fred who were responsible for the charge?" "I think it was Fred who was behind all that trouble," she replied. "I am not certain as to the identity of the man we had to do wit hin police headquarters, however. Had they delayed you twenty-four hours—and sailing masters are source—Fred might now have been in possession of what we are going to get." "But couldn't Fred charter a faster vessel and beat us here, as he has, I'm thinking?" I asked. "I think he did that. But he could not get at the key until after we sailed several days. Without the key he could not secure what he wanted. Before leaving—the night Fred shot at father through your window—father, fearing complications, took the precaution to have the key locked up in a time-locked safe." "An original idea," I said. "Cables are not in use to this port, I know. Still, he might have had the safe opened as soon as the time locked allowed it and the key may have been cabled down to, say, Salina Cruz. From there it is about twelve hours' run down the coast to here." "He did that, I am sure. But the time-lock will not let the safe be opened until tonight at midnight. It is in too public a pace to bel opened otherwise." "So that is why we hurried, is it?" "Yes, Captain Mahchbanks, and that is why we are not going back." "And you have a copy of the key?" "Yes, sir." "Aren't you afraid some savage will steal it from you. Perhaps Fred has friends among these savages. You recollect the ones who came aboard the Cleo last night." "If they get it I will not care to live longer after the experience, because—" "Why? Tell me." "They would have to disrobe me to take it." The short twilight passed and the black night settled on the jungle. Strange noises disturbed us. Some infernal night bird settled right above where we sat and called to its mate in a squawk so rancuous it cause Miss Rountree to creep closer to me. I put my arm around her and did my best to still her fears. Large lizzards, or, as the natices call them, iguana, crept to and fro. Naturalists tell us they are the only one of the animal kingdom that never sleeps. While they are harmless, when one of them crept within a foot of where Miss Rountree's feet were, she screamed and embraced me. After that she sat as near me as possible. It was, perhaps, half a minute after her scream that I heard what I took to be, an echo of it. I wondered at that somewhat, as echoes would not travel as far as Santa Marie and back again. I was not sure whether an echo could occur in a jungle or not. Without apearing to do so I listened, all the while conversing with Miss Rountree, who was not thoroughly uninterested. Again I heard a cry. This time it appeared to come from the north. I was sure the other had come from the south. I listened again, this time neglecting to keep up my low-toned conversation. I heard the cries repeated, seemingly coming from all points of the compass. Miss Rountree heard them as well, for she clung to me as she burst into tears. "Oh, daddy, daddy, if it were not for your reputation I would go back to light and warmth and civilization. Do you hear those cries, Captain Marchbanks?" "They probably are harmless animals," I assured her. "They are human animasl," she said. "There is no animal in existence whose cry imitates a human being, with the exception of the hyena, and they do not inhabit the tropics. Those cries are human." "Well, if that's all," I said, "we'll change positions. Come here and put your back to this tree. I will sit by your side so that I can command the side and part of the rear of the tree. In this way we can see those who come before they approach too closely. You have your pistol?" The girl raised her right hand and showed me a little ivory-handled revolver. "Can you shoot?" "Fairly well." "Thanks to your advice I can hit anything as far as the bullet is effective. So we'll give someone a little battle right here in the jungle if they come too close. Don't fire until I say so." "I understand." "And another thing—" "What is that?" she asked, as the cries were repeated. "Keep one bullet for your—" I dreaded to say it. "I understand that," she said in a thin little voice. The cries continued to sound at intervals. At one time I thought they were growing fainter, but the next ones were very near us, especially on the side which we faced. Finally Miss Rountree fell asleep, with her head on my shoulder. I wondered if she was dreaming of Crawford, and if he would break his "tentative" engagement if he knew she was sleeping in her present position. I looked at my watch. It was nine-thirty. Then I must have fallen asleep. When you recollect that I had slept but a few hours the night before you cannot blame me. I was awakened by a touch on my shoulder. For a moment I could not locate myself. I looked first at Miss Rountree and the nit all came back to me. Again came the touch on my shoulder and I looked up into the painted face of one of the biggest Indians I ever beheld. Still holding my shoulder he raised his face and uttered one of the yells we had been listening to before I had fallen asleep. At the same time Miss Rountree rubbed her eyes, looked around, saw the savage and screamed. Then she laid her face on my shoulder and wept. I was not prepared for what happened next. The black who held my shoulder shouted a string of gibberish into the jungle and it was answered by a second Indian pushing through the bushes at my side. He, too, was dressed in the abbreviated custom of the first one, but I could have hugged him had I been willing to give away to my feelings, for the face, which was lighted by the moonlight which trickled down through the trees, was that of Archibald. "Where did you go to, Captain Marchbanks?" he asked anxiously. "We have been beating the woods for you since five o'clock." "We thought you had been captured by natives," I explained.

The Sinclair Oil company appears to be in financial trouble. Work has been suspended on new works of the company here, while Monday, at Coffeyville, a thousand men were laid off of the new works there. I would the gift was mine to voice The diverse blessings on the head Of him who freely made his choice, And as a grave preceptor led. Unnumbered thousands of our youth By pleasant paths of living light, Inspiring hope, and zeal, and truth. That leads men to Parnassus' height. The living torch thou holdest so high Hath lighted others through the land; And youth' that truly heard the cry, That heeded well thy beck'ning hand, In man's estate now sits secure And prospers as thy heart had planned, With noble souls which must endure, In power, great; achievement, grand. So, while thy eyes the lives may scan, And retrospection's dear delight View now the child, and then the man, With varied features—dim, or bright, For all, be mine the voice to speak Thy many virtues, line on line; And,—be the effort ne'er so weak,— My hand thy wreath of laurel twine!
