Home Coming and Mortgage. Burning at First A.M.E. Church Sunday, October 9 Special Sermon by Rev. J.F, Griffin at 11 A.M. KANSAS MISS BESSIE EADS, SOPRANO of Parsons-Los Angeles, in Recital, at FIRST A. M. E. CHURH WED., OCT. 19 5 Volume VIII Chicago, Illinois. — I have reached Chicago after attending the Kansas conference, and visiting Kansas City, coming in touch with brains and science, and men and women of power and worth. I have a greater conception of human life than ever before, and I am proud that I know men. Before telling you what I have seen and where I have been, let me engage in a little bit of information. Prof. Aaron E. Malone, president of Poro college, and a business genius of our race, is improving, and has been sitting up. He had an operation which has proven beneficial. During his illness Mrs. Malone and a trained nurse were right by his side. He had the best of attention, and the best physicians were used. Prof. William H. Harrison, known as "Judge" a prominent lawyer, as well as a leader among his people and a staunch member of the Baptist church, has left the Boyd ranks, and is now a full-fledged member of the National Baptist convention, and will be in the number headed for California next fall. One by one the sinners are returning home, and they are received by father and mother with open arms and welcomed back home. The devil wants the best available saints, adn he is busy trying to get hold of them, and here and there he meets with success. Who will be the next to fall into his hands? You had better mind how you walk on the cross, because if your foot slips your soul will be lost. When I wrote you the last time I was at the home of one of the great men of our race, Hon. John M. Wright, deputy county treasurer of Topeka. He is one of the best trained men in our race, and a man of rare ability. He has introduced into the race the doctrine of industry, honesty, reliability and thrift, and he is the embodiment of them all. When he tells you a thing you may go right on about your business. Right by his side is that musical genius, Mrs. Josephine Wright, whose voice has been heard by the crown heads of Europe and here she made good and held up the good name of America. She was a drawing card in the Blind Boone Concert company. I certainly did enjoy all of this good time, and had the pleasure of speaking in Calvary Baptist church Sunday morning, the Rev. Mr. Young, pastor, and at night I spoke in the Shiloh Baptist church, the Rev. Mr. Williams, pastor. Thus ended my stay in the city, and bright and early Monday morning in company with the Rev. Dr. J. R. Ransom, we beat it to Kansas City, and this is where the day was spent. I visited Lincoln High school, and met there Ms. Norene Davis, Miss Bertha Garrett, both moguls in the Grand Court of Ca- - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 lanthe, and both fine entertainers. We had lunch with Prof. J. R. E. Lee, one of the most remakable men in this country. If he belonged to them instead of us, he would be at the top of the ladder. We will not be able to appreciate his worth until death has claimed him and then will gather around and talk about what a great man he was. The people of Kansas City do not realize what they have in him, and what he is doing for the whole race. You will some day praise God for his life. But now let us continue to see what happened. We had a consumptuous repast or something like that, prepared by the department of domesticated science or something sounding like that. Our children are certainly getting good training and they are prepared to do real practical work, if you will just listen to me. When we were through getting outside of all them good things, then Prof. Lee called up a man and told him that Col. J. O. Midnight was there, and would like for him to see the game of ball. We don't know what was said, but Prof. Tell suggested that we go there. Before going to the game, we went over to the Wheatley hospital and talked with the people there. Mrs. Crosswaite, who is interestel in the hospital, was there, and she had us to get in her automobile car carriage, and toted us out to this park where there was to be a contest between a team from St. Louis and one from Kansas City, and put it down that it was a lively contest. I was not there long, when in come General Thomas Kennedy, accompanied by his wife. They were soon seated, but would not look at me. Next came Editor Nelson Crews, that greatest of all orators. Hon. Nelson Crews is one of the most speakingest men it has been my pleasure to hear in this world, and I have never heard any one in the other world. He is a man with a vision, and when he speaks he says something, and you can just sit and listen to him all night without getting sleepy. He came and shook my lily black hand and then said a word or two to the ladies and proceeded to take his place. I am told that he usually finds a place behind the catcher. The contest is now on. There was one fellow, I think he was called the battery or something else. He took the ball and it seemed to me that he would just throw his fool brains out trying to hit the fellow with a club, a little larger than the one that the police tote. This fellow would defend himself with the club, and if he missed it there was a fellow who would catch it. He had a cage over his face. When he hit it he would just run like he was crazy and the other fellows would hustle up the ball and beat him. There were two white men, who would do Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, October 7, 1921 The First Baptist church at the corner of Nebraska avenue and Fifth street, is near its completion and the big hearted pastor, Rev. Bowren, and its congregation expect to occupy it soon. The interior is about finished, and it is simply beautiful in design and the arrange- ments are well planned. The entire inside is finished in oak, with hardwood floor. This pastor and congregation have worked incessantly on the pay-as-you-go plan and when they go into it, only a small debt will be on the church. HOME COMING SUNDAY—REV. MRS. MA SON WILL PREACH CITY Kansas City, Kansas, Friday Burning at First Hermon by Rev. J. B. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH FOR PLETION The First Baptist church at the corner of Nebraska avenue and Fifth street, is near its completion and the big hearted pastor, Rev. Bowren, and its congregation expect to occupy it soon. The interior is about finished, and it is simply bea- tiful in design and the arrange- ment entire with tor work as-you go in be on HOME COMING SUNDAY SON WILL PR Arrangements are being completed for a great Home Coming Sunday at First Church, corner of Eighth street and Nebraska avenue. All of the aged and decrepit of the church, or any others in the community will be brought to the church in autos, where where they may enjoy the day's services and be served free to a fine chicken dinner. The Rev. Mrs. Lena Mason, the evangelist, who has been carrying on a series of meetings this week, will preach Sunday night. Her crowds, as usual, have been large dur- something. One of them stood where the fellow was with the club, and the other would just run, and if the ball beat him there he would wave his hand. I don't know all the things they would do, but when it was over, Miss Garrett told me that St. Louis made four scores and Kansas City three, and that St. Louis won. This is the thing that American people are interested in. It is no longer a play, but it is a science, an art, a contest. It represents life, which is a game of ball. There is one man, no millions of them, at the bat trying to make the first base. then the second, the third, and then a home run. You must watch the pitcher in life, the catcher, the baseman, the short stop, and al them fielders, for they are struggling to put you out, and the pitcher will throw a curve and curve you out. Are you at the bat? Make a safe hit if possible. Make each base in life count. Make it home. All eyes are on you. What will you do? I want to express my thanks to Pof. J. R. E. Lee, to Mrs. Norene avis, to Miss Bertha Garrett, to Mrs. Crosswaite, and to the men in the contest for the splendid sermon I got out of seeing that ball contest. After it was all over, I went to see Rev. and Mrs. W. T. Osborne, Rev. and Mrs. P. W. DeLyle, over to Kansas City, Kansas, and had me a chicken dinner, then returned to the DeLyle mansion for the night. Bright and early the next morning, I was up and headed for St. Louis, and was met at the stable by the Malone carriage automobile car. It toted me out to the college, where I spent the night, and the next morning at 6:30 up, left at 7:35 for Alton, Ill., where I spent a few minutes, and, perhaps an hour with the Rev. Mr. G. W. Brewer, pastor of the A. M. E. church, who was getting ready to entertain Col. Roscoe C. Simmons. At 10:30 found me headed for Spingfield, reaching there at 8. I went to a lodge and met some people there. Mrs. Elvie L. Stewart introduced me to many women in the Heroines of Jericho. They served me with ice cream and cake, and at night. I left for bed. Believe me, it was a great big meeting. I will bring this letter to a stop now. More to follow. If you want to write to me, send your letter care Dr. N. T. Wallis, Fort Worth, Texas. Rev. O.H. Burbridge of Salina, visited in the city this week. ADVOCATE ing the week and Sunday should bring an overflow audience. On Sunday evening at 6 o'clock the Junior Allen League gave a fine literary and musical program and reception to Rev. and Mrs. J. F. Griffin in the lecture room of the church. The little folks were at their best, and their program was profusely enjoyed by the pastor as well as a large number of visitors. Ice cream and cake were served in abundance. The Sunday school orchestra rendered several numbers. ALONG THE LINE OF REASON Is yo seed, or heered anything? Now, what you want to ax me dat for,—why doan you ax me; How much I'se done seen and heared? So as I cul tell you er-bout de 'Mericum Legion picnic on the 22nd, which was all right, and the boys deserve much credit for their courage and effort. It must be said of them, at home as when abroad, where they placed themselves on the altar, as sacrafice to save the world's civilization,—THEY were up to the full measure. And while a better showing could easily have made by the people whose fortunes they went to save; yet they are not complaining;—since it is better to give than to receive. All hail, and hats off to the Legion,—boys you did well;—the fault, if any, is ours. And I looked and I saw,—and heard something else. It was indeed a sight to see. It was that soul-stirring sight,—that grand march of the cohorts of Pythians,—up to their Temple on State avenue, Sunday afternoon, September 25, to the laying of the cornerstone. It was easily the biggest thing that has occurred in our race and was of a calabre to make the souls of all citizens swell with pride. The address of the Grand Chancellor was a gem, full of information, wisdom and truth, showing much study and research on his part; and was such as delighted and instructed those who heard it. The wonderful growth of the represented, together with the steps and strides it has, and is, taking forward; shows the invincible power and true worth of Real Honor, which alone, is productive of True Manhood and the noble trait of friendship. While the lack of it,—brings to surface, Presumption, Assumption, self-service, Narrowness, and all those "wee sma'" acts and deeds which so often characterize our conduct; which shows ourselves to be incompetent and inefficient;—yet satisfied with our undersiable lot; if we can but thereby withhold and retard others. This most excellent display, was one of the many evidences going to show that this latter class of ignorant and envious and self-serving characters, are fast fading into oblivion, and that the sooner, the better for the race. The league held an interesting meeting last Wednesday CITIZENS' FORUM HELD FIRST MEETING OF THE YEAR LAST SUNDAY WITH GOOD ATTENDANCE THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Church Sunday, 11 A. M. CITIZENS' FORUM HI OF THE YEAR LAS GOOD ATT The Citizens' Forum held its first meeting of the season Sunday, October 2, at the Metropolitan Baptist Temple. President Curry presided. Prof. Reynolds and the Forum presented Mr. A. Gatewood of K. U. in a musical recital.. He sang classic solos fine and received encores and great applause. They also presented him with $10. Mr. C. Jenkins and others gave interesting current events, and the large audience enjoyed an instructive afternoon. Next Snuday, October 9, Miss T. Smothers and Miss evening, and though not as largely attended as was expected, still it was of much interest. Only a few of the matters and things which are ripe for consideration were touched upon, but were not decided, but left to be acted upon later. The adjournment was subject to the call of the president, which, we hope, will be soon, and before the regular monthly meeting. For the call is now,—as it never was before, on our part; for quick, apt and tactful thinking and acting; lest we be left in the lurch, or swallowed in the maelstrom of conflicting interests and acts, which are now abreast of the times. It is sincerely hoped that we awake to a full sense of the importance of the situation, and do our full duty in the premises. EDWARDSVILLE, KAN. The second anniversary banquet of Rev. A. Royston's pastorate at the Edwardsville Baptist church, was fine. Mrs. Frye planned the menu, and Mrs. Grigsby was chairman of the reception committee. A nice program was rendered. Some of the main features were: Music, Edwardsville duet; instrumental solo, Mrs. A. Allsbrook, Kansas City, Kansas; anniversary poem, Mrs. M. C. Matthews, Kansas City, Kansas. All were cheered, but the poem was cheered most.

Mr. and Mrs. Chester Gaskin and Mr. and Mrs. P. Smith and others were from Kansas City, Kansas. Each one was given a quarter of a chicken.

October JUNIOR LEAGUE GIVES RECEPTION TO PASTOR If you have a friend worth loving, love him, yet, and let him know." These beautiful lines were plainly demonstrated Sunday evening at the First A. M. E. church in a welcome reception given by the Junior Endeavor in honor of our very efficient pastor returning to spend another year of Christian service with us. The Junior Endeavor recognizes in Rev. Griffin not only a church builder, but a intellectual, spiritual Christian gentleman. An appropriate program was rendered and a delicious luncheon served. The Junior Endeavor is doing a graded work, divided into four groups instructed by some of the best Bible talent of the First A. M. E. church. The spiritual and social side of the child's life is looked after. "A better crop of girls and boys," is our motto. Ages from 3 to 16 years. Hours from 5:30 to 7 o'clock p. m. We hope the parents will become interested in the work we are doing and see to it that every child in our church is availed of this opportunity. SUPERINTENDENT.

The Kansas City Advocate, Friday, Oct. 7, 1921 Old English Coin. and Human Skull Found on Site of Fort Sterling, New York. An English coin, dated 1782 and bearing the profile of George III, was found by Maxwell Traphagen, who was exploring the foundations of the new apartment building that is being erected on Henry street, the site of Old Fort Sterling, erected by the British in the Revolution before the battle of Long Island. Traphagen found at the same time the skull of a man probably a British or an American soldier. The site of old Fort Sterling extends from Pierrepont street north about 450 feet through Love lane. The foundations of 155 Henry street and of the house next door were built with stones from the old fort. Traphagen's coin was found imbedded in the sand. It was almost black. He has polished it, and the inscriptions are now fairly legible. On one side is the harp of Ireland, with the word "Hibernia," on the reverse side is a medallion of George III with "Georgius-Rex" written above, and the date, "1782," beneath.—New York Sun. WATER FROM ARTESIAN WELL Why Method of Bringing It to Surface Is Only Successful in Certain Localities. Artesian wells are possible only in certain localities. When there are pervious strata lying between impervious beds the water percolating through will be imprisoned; lying upon the lowest, and rising to some point in the highest, when a pervious stratum brings it to the surface and it escapes in the form of spring. If, however, a shaft can be sunk to the lowest point, the water of the whole basin will pass upward for escape and will rise to a level, corresponding to the greatest height to which the imprisoned strata reaches. The wells were named from one at Artols, France, which was the first sunk with full knowledge of the principle involved. The Chinese from time immemorial have used these wells, and they have also been used for centuries in the neighborhood of Vienna. The artesian well at Grenoble, near Paris, throws water to a height of 32 feet above the surface at the rate of more than 500 gallons a minute.—Boston Globe. - Witty Rogue. Inkren, the journalist, had just come to live in the little suburb, and, of course, as all newcomers to any district always are, he was the cause of interest to all of his neighbors. "Snooks tells me," he started off, "that you push a pencil for a living." "That's so; I do," replied Inkpen. "I think it's very foolish of you," frankly remarked Wimple. "Why?" asked Inkpen. "Because a pencil should be lead," explained Wimple. Ikpenhad had not then learned that Wimple was the "Wag of the Willage." Heard It Before: In an attempt to be jocular at a little gathering, I related a good joke I had heard somewhere, turning it into a personal experience to make it more attractive. I did not recall just at the time where I had heard it, until a young man asked me if I had seen a certain show in town, to which I replied I had. "That's where I heard that same joke," replied he. It was then that I remembered where I had heard it, and you can wager my complexion looked pretty dark for a few moments—Exchange. Much Cheaper Now.

I have lots of patience with children; given the kind of parents the average youngster of today is unblessed with, they deserve it. Minnie Decker has discovered that Mr. and Mrs. Decker are not her real parents after all. She is, it appears, descended from somebody or other far above her present station in life. Mrs. Decker says Minnie can descend from whomever or whatever she wants to, but until her real parents come to claim her, or she marries out from under her. Minnie will continue to wash the dishes and sweep the floor in the humble Decker abode, or she, Mrs. Decker, intends to know the reason why. Chintzs and cretonnes will be largely used this winter.

P. King as supervisor. The same buildings will be open, as were last year, Sumner High, Stowe, Lincoln and Bruce school. Nights, Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. The board of education has seen fit in order to bet a more regular attendance to make a small registration fee of one dollar which will be refunded at the close of the year to all of those who have attended three-fourths of all the night school sessions. It might be said of our colored night schools of the past, they have been well attended and are credited among the best night schools in the country. The results have been of the highest order and this year is expected with its hard working supervisor and his corps of efficient teachers to surpass all previous years. We could cite some night school students who are now registered in some of our colleges and universities and will soon receive diplomas from these schools.

Life is a constant discovery of the un- known. Much of history is just unvelling. The fascination of "finding out" has lured on the adventurer and the "inventurer." We all follow in their train. Who does not know the peculiar pleasure of having a secret or of experiencing one out? PETER H. Not long since, at a crowded street corner, a young aspirant for easy gain directed a bystander to tie his hands together. When securely fastened, he proceeded in plain sight of all to loosen his imprisoned members. When free, he offered to disclose the secret of such a feat for 15 cents each. Nearly every man present contributed to his purse. All wanted to know. This is most simple and insignificant, but the native human element of curiosity and the lure of the unknown have enriched with vast wealth and crowned with imperishable fame thousands who have penetrated the regions beyond the seen and beneath the surface. Greatest amid all this life of secrets is the secret of life. How to live is the undiscovered to most of us, but the discoverable to all of us. "This is life, to know Thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent." Long, long ago a man discovered the secret of great living, and his whole life was devoted to telling others. His secret has been passed on for centuries, and we may still profit by it today. It is worth knowing. If measured by earthly standards of values, it would cost a princely sum. But it is free. This mostly discounts its high values. Nevertheless, it is priceless, though costless. This secret is threefold, disclosed in three fragmentary expressions. First: "Paul, the bond slave of Jesus Christ." Rom. 1:1. This sets forth The Relation to a Person. Every life is the product of its relationships. "A man is known by the company he keeps" or that keeps him. The people we meet either make us or mar us, either elevate or degrade, either enrich or despoil. How little we realize the weal or woe of an introduction to a passing pilgrim on the road of life. Some have entered our lives. Oh, would God we had never known them. Others have been a lifelong benefaction. Think of what these relationships have meant—mother, father, Sunday school teacher, pastor, chum, wife, children. Oh, can you compute their values? But Paul in the final analysis totaled his life in this statement: "I am what I am by the grace of God." One day he met Jesus of Nazareth, the conqueror of death, the glorified Christ of God, and he was never the same afterward. That introduction ripened into a bonded friendship that left its ineffaceable brand. When he would commend his secret to the metropolis of the world, he signs himself, not a degreeed alumnus of Tarsus or Jerusalem, but "a bond slave of Jesus Christ." So completely did he hand over his personality to that of another as to be able to say after: "I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me"—absolute self-renunciation and abandonment, absolute dedication and enslavement to the Son of God as Lord and Master. Second: "I am debtor to all men."—Rom. 1:14. The Recognition of a Principle. This is Paul's Philosophy. It is not idealistic, that spends itself in the culture of the ego, nor materialistic, seeking sensual enjoyment of things, nor yet socialistic, as found in the varled dreams and schemes of today. This is theistic—God so loved the world that He "gave." The Son of man came not to be ministered unto but to minister and to "give." Paul did not declare the world owed him a living, but he was a debtor to the world, Owed something to somebody. Owed the riches of grace to all men. He lived to discharge that debt. Secret of great living—not to get but to give. Third: "One thing I do."—Phill. 3:13. A Resolution of Power. Paul ifad a motive—something that moyed him, a mighty impulse, a tremendous conviction, a consuming passion. He was energized by a dynamic. "One thing I do." What was that one thing? "To, me to live is Christ." To reproduce the personality at whose feet he had cast himself a slave forever. This is a secret of greatness—the highest, most transcendant motive, resoluting power to life. It is the dynamo, the engine, the generator of power. The size of our motive is the size of our life. "Behold I show you a secret." Oh that we may learn the secret of a great life from this discoverer. Page Three.

Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (© 1921, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON TEXT — I Cor. 1:10, 11; 12:1-11. GOLDEN TEXT — And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three, but the greatest of these is charity. — I Cor. 13. REFERENCE MATERIAL — John 13: 34, 35; Rom. 12:9-10. PRIMARY TOPIC—How to Show Our Love. JUNIOR TOPIC—What Love Does. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —A Letter to the Church at Corinth. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Some Problems of an Early Church. I. Party Spirit in the Corinthian Church (1:10, 11). In this church rival factions were contending against each other. Some were for Paul, some for Apollos, some for Peter, and some for Christ. The cause of this condition was failure to see that the membership-composing His body cannot be divided. By one Spirit all were baptized into the one body (12:13). II. Love the More Excellent Way (I Cor. 13:1-13). All of the Spirit's gifts are good, but the most valuable of all is love. Not all can preach or interpret tongues, but all can have the gift of love. Love in this chapter is the more excellent way of chapter 12:31. (1) The Pre-eminence of Love (vv. 1-3). It transcends (1) speaking with tongues. For men to possess the loftiest eloquence and be lacking in love is to be as booming brass and clanking cymbal. (2) The gift of prophecy—the ability to unfold mysteries. To be able to penetrate the mysteries of nature and providence is good, but; to love is better. (3) Faith of the most vigorous kind, even such as to remove mountains, is of less value than love. (4) Philanthropy of the most generous sort, causing one, to surrender all earthly goods for the sake of the poor is praiseworthy, but unless actuated by love is valueless before God. (5) Heroic devotion which leads to martyrdom is profitless unless backed by love. 2. The Attributes of Love (vv. 4-7). (1) It is long-suffering and kind. (2) It is free from envy. Those who love are entirely free from the spirit engendered because of the superior worth and success of others. (3) It is free from boasting and vanity. Love strives to do good to all and is not careful to seek their admiration and applause. (4) It is decorous. Love is always polite and mannerly; knows how to behave at all times. (5) It is unselfish. It is always seeking the good of others and is forgetful of self. (6) It does not give way to passion. It does not allow itself to be aroused to resentment. It is not quick tempered. (7) It takes no delight in evil; does not impute evil motives to others; is not suspicious. It is forgiving. Love has no sympathy with that which is evil, but sympathizes with that which is true; has a common joy with it. (8) It beareth all things. It wraps itself in the gracious mantle of love and shuts all evil out. (9) Love is trustful; it looks into the future with confidence. (10) Love is hopeful; it seizes the things of the future and brings them into the present, appropriating them for its use. (11) Love is firm. It is free from vacillation. It intelligently sets its attention to things that are right and with unvarying strength holds fast. 3. The Permanence of Love (vv. 8-13). (1) It outlasts prophecy. Prophecy in the Scriptures means both a foretelling of events and the teaching of the Word of God. Prophecy as prediction shall be fulfilled; prophecy as teaching shall be brought to an end in that day when teaching is not needed (Heb. 8:11; Jer. 31:34). (2) It outlasts speaking with tongues. The race once spoke the same language, but as a judgment for sin and rebellion God brought confusion and caused the people to speak many tongues. The day is coming with the redemption wrought by Jesus Christ shall have been accomplished in all its fullness; all nations shall be brought back to one tongue. (3) It outlasts knowledge. The knowledge we now have is only relative, but the day is coming when this relative knowledge shall be done away by the coming in of a wider and nobler intelligence; the twilight shall be lost in maturity, for at Christ's coming we shall see Him face to face and shall be like Him. Love will always abide, for God is love. The search of men for God has been an age-long search, throughout the centuries men have groped in darkness with the cry, "Show us God," the deepest hunger of the heart, and the deepest perplexity of the mind. When Phillips Brooks was called in to give some religious instruction to Helen Kellar, spending her life in darkness and isolation, she greeted him with one sentence slowly-spelled out. "Please tell me something that you know about God."—Wesleyan Christian Advocate. WHISPERINGS Don't judge a woman's cooking by the cake she sends to a church social. The greater the shortage in a man's accounts the longer it takes to find him. The bonds of matrimony would be more popular if they paid cash dividends. Ambition may be the feeling that you want to do something that you can't. Feet that are a size larger than the shoes you wear are their own punishment. Night shirts should wear longer than dress shirts because they are never worn out. A girl stands before a mirror while dressing so that she can see what is going on. You can't build a skyscraper on a faulty foundation. Attend to the foundation first. Go to the ant, thou sluggard—consider her ways and keep away from your "uncle." "The race is not to the swift." No; but neither is it to the lazy.—Forbes Magazine (N. Y.) The most plitiful objects in this world are girls who act like men and men who act like girls. If a pair of shoes are too small they may fit a woman, but if they are too large she has a fit. Scenic lines of railroad should be careful on what sidetracks they put two miles of box cars. One admires his photographer almost as much as his doctor. Each improves him so much. While the vision glows the life is young. Only when the vision fades can life be said to have ended. CAR DRIVING HARD ON FEET Use of Accelerator Causes "Short Circuit" of Pedal Nerves or "Motor Foot," It Is Said. When car owners return from their summer vacations many of them return limping. A new summer epidemic is at large in the ranks of vacationists. The new allment has been given the popular name of "motor foot." In the language of surgical chiropody it is indexed and classified under the name of "metatarsal displacement." Continuous motoring is the cause of the allment. It is a right foot trouble caused by the continuous strain occasioned by long motor trips when the driver keeps his foot in the strained position required by the use of the car accelerator. This position causes a displacement of the metatarsal bones which in turn causes them, in motor language, to "short" the nerves of that part of the foot. This in turn is the answer for the pain that accompanies the distinction of possessing "motor foot." "Motor foot" not only makes walking painful, but practically eliminates golf, tennis or any of the other popular forms of active recreation. Not Quilted The most embarrassing moment of my life was when a new stenographer came to work for my boss. About noon of her first day with us I wrote to the old stenographer and I left the note in the typewriter when my boss called me in. Just then the new stenographer came back from lunch and she read the note. When I came out of my boss' office she said, "There is a note of yours in the typewriter. Do you want to finish it?" The note read: "Dear Peggle—I am writing to let you know of our new stenographer. She is deed from the neck up and as slow as molasses. She has a face like a—."—Chicago Tribune. A Good Time Coming. There was company at dinner, and the son and heir listened to the conversation. During meal an animated discussion arose regarding the feeling which, someone maintained, still existed between the North and the South. The minister remarked: "The time is coming not so far off, when there will be no north, south, east or west, and—" "Won't that be splendid," interrupted little Willie. "Why does that interest you?" asked the boy's astonished parent. "Because it will be so much easier to learn geography."—Harper's Magazine. The War Rich. A story of the new rich tells of a family named Stubbs, which became very rich during the war and, in consequence, purchased a stately home in one of the counties in England. It happened that some one, who had known them in less prosperous days was in the neighborhood and thought he would call. He did so, and asked for, "Mr. Stubbs." The butler regarded him with a perfectly straight face. "There must be some mistake, sir, he said. "This is the house of Mr. St. Ubbs." In the Beginning. It was a beautiful New Year morning in the Stone age. "Hey, Strongarm," said Hairy Face, "lend me your crowbar, will you?" "Watta you want with it!" asked Strongarm. "I wanta take it home," informed Hairy Face, "to turn over a new leaf." George Philip Krupp has not always been professor of English at Columbia. For two years he held the same position at the University of Cincinnati, where his modesty, as usual, was so pronounced that his great scholarship was not evident to the typical under-classman. One day a chap who had just been promoted from the freshman class bounded into his study and said: "Professor Krapp, I found something strange, today; there's a book over in the library written by'a man' who has just your name." "Is that so?" said Professor Krapp. "What is the book?" "Why, said the student, 'it is an account of an Anglo-Saxon work called 'Andreas and Elene.'" "But I wrote that book," replied the author of "Modern English, "and half a dozen other volumes." Sald the student: "Ah, gwan!"—New York Evening Post. GETTING AROUND THE TRUTH Little Helen's Shrewd Scheme for Sugar Coating Fabrication Her Mother Frowned Upon. Little Helen, one of the youngest set of Sciplo society, was missing her sister, who was old enough even to go visiting and stay away from home three whole days and nights. She was getting more lonesome every hour and after having been told several times by her mother that Louise wouldn't be home until Friday, finally hit on a plausible pretext for getting sister home. "Mother, let's write and tell Louise that we have a new baby at our house. I know she would come home then." "But we could not write that—that wouldn't be the truth, and it isn't nice to tell things that are not true." That apparently settled the matter, but Helen added: "Well, we could tell her it was a new baby doll when she got home—that would be all right, wouldn't it?" -Indianapolis News. ONE THING SHE HADN'T LOST Pupil's Statement of Fact Probably Gaye Music-Teacher Occasion for Deep Thought. A well-known music teacher in Atlanta was giving a lesson to a talented but careless pupil and was rapidly losing all patience with her. Finally, at a most complicated part of a difficult piece, the pupil lifted her hands from the piano and made a wild dash for her handkerchief to stop a threatened sneeze. It was the last straw. "Was there ever such a girl!" exclaimed the teacher, thrusting her own handkerchief at the offender. "You lose your position, you lose your fingering, you lose your handkerchief—you lose everything!" "Not quite everything," said the pupil with a smile. "I haven't lost my temper." Fate Had Been Unkind. An old man appealed for charity from passersby: "Pity a poor old man who has missed his calculation." The strangeness of his cry attracted an old lady, who stopped the man and asked him what he meant. "Madam," said he, "it's like this. When I was young, I earned plenty of money, and at fifty had saved a good sum. I said to myself I should only live to be seventy and what I had would keep me comfortably till then. Unfortunately, I missed my calculation. I've lived to be seventy-two and my money is all gone." The explanation secured him the gift his ingenuity deserved. Observing. Little Jack Jett, of Terre Haute, was going away on a few days' vacation when he came to kiss his mother good-by. She kissed him rather hurriedly for there were still some of his things to get ready, but he caught her hand and said "Mother, I didn't like that kiss. I want a movie kind." "A moyle kind?" his mother questioned. "Yes," he insisted, "one like the move people always give—a hang-on one for a long time."—Indianapolis News. Couldn't Oblige. "That's a plucky pedestrian, anyhow." "What did he do?" "Dared the man who ran over him to try it again." "Did the motorist accept the challenge?" "No; he said it nearly broke his heart to pass up a chance like that, but he was on his way to meet a train." In Boston. Lady Visitor (to boy's mother) —Can't little James recite some of the verse he learns at school?

Kaye—Old Tupper had bad luck, didn't he? Gray—Oh, what was that? I don't think I heard about it.
