KANSAS WITH THE BUSINESS INTERESTS OF THE RACE IN KANSAS CITY In this column we will endeavor to give a review of the business interests of our race from time to time. It is obviously impossible to print all of this matter in one issue, so if your name is not here now, it will appear later. WITH THE BUSINESS THE RACE IN I In this column we will endeavor business interests of our It is obviously impossible matter in one issue, not here now, it w Mrs. Vance has a nice grocery store and a nice clean stock of goods at the corner of Hallock street and Parallel avenue. Mrs. George Letcher 2624 North Sixth street, has a confectionery and soft dring parlor and also carries school supplies. She has the only store in close proximity to Dunbar school. A. H. Hill, one of our old grocerymen, who was on the corner of Sherman and Georgia for a number of years, is now in his own new building, just one door north of his old stand. Mr. Hill is one of our best citizens and a careful business man. The Ideal Pharmacy at the corner of Fifth street and Haskell avenue, managed by Dr. Washington, is as neat and well kept as any drug store in the city. Everything always looks so sanitary. Dr. Washington, by his genial disposition and knowledge of the business, has made many business friends in that community. Mr. and Mrs. N. Rhodes, 1607 North Eighth street, who has been a success in the grocery business, contemplated selling their business and going to California this fall, but they have decided to remain here, and let well enough alone. They have a nice clean stock of goods and their lbsiness is increasing in a substantial way. Don't pass your own kind and kin. for some that cares only for just what they get out of you. THE REV. RANSOM TAKES A BRIDE We received the intelligence this week of the marriage of Rev. J. R. Ransom, former pastor of First A. M. E. church, now pastor of St. Paul, Wichita, Kansas. The bride was a Mrs. Lancaster of Independence, Kansas, so we learned. Dr. Ransom has been a widower for more than a year. His wife died in Topeka. A YOUNG LIFE RETURNED TO ITS MAKER Mr. Alfred W. Banks, the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Banks, 2034 North Hallock avenue, died Tuesday evening at 9:50, after only a week's illness. The deceased was 21 years, two months and 18 days of age at the time of his death. He was a graduate of Sumner High school and had spent one year at Kansas University. Alfred was a bright young man and had an encouraging future. He had many friends, and was well liked by every one who made his acquaintance. He leaves a devoted father, mother, two brothers and two sisters, whose hearts have the deepest sympathy from a host of friends here and elsewhere. The Advocate extends its sincere sympathy to the bereaved family in their sad hours of sorrow. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon from Metropolitan Baptist church at 2 o'clock, Rev. D. A. Holmes officiating. Mr. P. M. Davidson, 2510 Norh Allis, who has been sick for some months, is still confined to the house. Mr. Davidson has many friends who would be exceedingly glad to see him out again: Mrs. Davidson, his splendid wife, makes a fine nurse and is as attentive to the care of her husband and his wants, as ever a mother to her baby.

It is with much regret the State of Texas is giving up one of her brightest and best, but Kansas has open arms to receive all such "Bright Stars." and bids them a hearty welcome. This spiritual giant will be at his new post of duty the first Sunday in November. Come and hear him! The doors of Metropolitan Temple are always open to all. CITY KLU KLUX KLAN IN TEXAS GIVES HADES TO FOLKS Chicago, Ill.—Since I took my pen in hand to write to you the last time I have been moving some and this week finds me right here in Chicago, but I will be far from here before you can read the first lines of this letter but I will let you have what I have in store for you and you may read and reflect. When I wrote that last letter I was in Fort Worth, Texas, and just as full of cuss as one could be without busting open. But I have prayed and been before my pastor and he has forgiven me and will not bring me before the church this time. You see he was down there in Texas also. I could look in his head and tell all the things he had in there, but the killing of that man was enough to make any preacher lay his Bible down for a few minutes. Them Ku Klux down there in Texas are giving hades to white folks and black folks, and believe me, before they are through with this business some one is going to get hurt, or they will be sent to Heaven in such short notice that there will not be time for any hurting. Are you thinking about what I am saying to you? If you don't mind recording it, and telling the world that I said it, I will tell you that lawlessness is an awful thing, and it is covered by sin, and, my honey, sin is going to ruin this country of ours. Mr. White Man, if you don't check sin, you are bound to go down, and you may take me down with you, although I am giving you the warning. It was indeed a pleasure for me to be with them Baptists in Texas, when I was there, also to be the guest of Dr. and Mrs. N. T. Wallis, and they tried to make it happy for me during my stay in town, and I enjoyed being in their home. Dr. Wallis is the tooth dentist doctor I have been telling you about, and believe me, honey, he has all the latest machines for half soiling teeth. He has that thing that will furnish a photograph of all inside of your mouth and tell you all about the condition of the teeth from one end to the other. I think they call it X-rail, or something like that. He has the latest improved for this kind of work. He has a new automobile car carriage and believe me, it is some goer. But then I will not tell you about him this week. He toted me over to Dallas, on Sunday evening, and returned me at night to his home, and Monday morning I got myself together and started for Oklahoma, reaching Oklahoma City Monday night, I got in touch tuch with Dr. E. W. Perry, pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church, and president of the state convention. But little time was spent in town, for I had been invited to go to the convention, and as it took me a little time to move, and I had been told by them bug fighters, Dr. Conrad and Dr. Ball not to rush I just got right on down to McAlester, spent the night—no, not the night, for the night was spent on the road, and I got there early in the morning and made it out to the industrial school, supported by the state of Oklahoma for boys of our race. It was a wonderful sight to see nearly one hundred industrious boys. While in the city, I went to the place of business of Rev. Frank Motley, and found him to be one more busy man. I was delighted to have the pleasure of seeing and talking to him. Next found me in Muskogee, Oklahoma, where the Baptists were to have full charge for a week, and I was there to help them take the town, and if possible to baptize them all. It was a great big convention and there was much good accomplished for the race and for the Baptists. The meeting was held at the First Baptist church, Dr. J. T. Johnson, pastor, and it (Concluded on Fourth Page) CIVIC LEAGUE HAD AN INTERESTING MEETING MONDAY The Civic League held a meeting Monday evening over the Home Drug company, Rev. J. F. Griffin, president, presiding. The meeting was well represented and some very important matters of which immediate attention to certain affairs should be looked after for the benefit of our entire racial group in the city.- Committees were appointed to meet those in authority, and as far as possible get certain facts, and report to the League their findings. The League in its discussion, deemed it time there were some things pertaining to the welfare of our colored citizenry of Kansas City, Kansas, should be known and that at once. A meeting will be called by the president, as soon as the committees are ready, to report. The public is invited and are urged to attend these meetings. WILL PUT ON A CHARITY DRIVE The Chamber of Commerce is planning to put on a charity drive to make up what is known as a "community budget." This budget will be reserved especially for the purpose of making up shortages for all charitable institutions in the city, whose own budgets are insufficient to carry them through the year. Our colored citizens will have an opportunity to help in this drive, both in service and money and we feel sure that there will be no lack of either when the time comes to act, as we have an institution of this character—Douglass hospital, besides many families and individuals who every winter are compelled to seek some charitable relief. This community budget will cut out, or do away with, all the usual charitable tag days. Let every colored person in the city, although it may be a meagre sum, contribute to this drive. Some of us have in time not been so fortunate, and while we live, there is another chance for history to repeat itself. We are known to stand back of every good thing, and our past record in this city in similar drives is sufficient for greater results this time. CATHERINE PLOUGH AND GWINDOLA MILLER, 8. HAVE BIRTHDAY PARTY Gwindola Miller and Cathrine Plough had fifty-two children to help them celebrate their eight birthday, Saturday, October 22, at 817 Everett avenue, the home of Mrs. Plough. The house was beautifully decorated in Hallowe'en style, and many presents were received. Gwindola and Catherine presented each child with a souvenir basket, which was filled with popcorn, candy, cake and other delicacies. All the children departed, full of joy, at 6 o'clock p. m. The funeral of Mr. William Anderson was held Sunday from Mt. Zion Baptist church, Rev. Moses Williams officiating. It was in charge of Stringer Lodge No. 14, Knights of Pythias, Chancellor Commander Duvall presiding. It was largely attended by members of the order and friends.

The colored man, he said, must be given political and economic equality as a matter of justice and national welfare. "Surely we shall gain nothing by blinking at the facts," President Harding said, in bringing up the subject in his main speech at the Birmingham semi-centennial celebration. Political and economic equality, he explained, does not mean social equality. On the other hand he urged that both sides recognize the "absolute divergence in things social and racial." Harding in a rather startling fashion protested against his own party's use of the colored man as a mere political tool and urged the colored men to vote either the Democratic or Republican ticket on the merits of the two parties: The real menace, he warned, lis in forcing political solidarity. The colored man, the president continued, should seek to be "the best possible colored man and not the best possible imitation of a white man." "Racial amalgamation cannot be," he declared. Harding's speech bristled with straight talk on the race question and he warned the South that if it wishes to keep its fields tilled and its industries humming, it must deal fairly PASEO Y. M. C. A.

NOT A POLITICAL PRESIDENT HARDING By Birmingham Celebration, discussion of Race Prob- political Tool—Warns Lies in Forcing parity of Race with the colored man or he will migrate to the North and West where he has greater opportunities. Harding, in a speech to members of the Alabama legislature T. WARREN G. HARDING who called at his hotel, declared he is as much concerned for the welfare of Southern states as he is for the North. "It is my obligation to be president of all states and all sections," Harding said, "and to be concerned, as I am concerned, for the welfare of Alabama, Mississippi and Florida, as for New York, Ohio and Montana." He told the legislators that it is everyone's obligation to give serious consideration to national problems. "And the Democratic party can't rule Alabama if it does not serve Alabama," he added. DR. STEWART WAS THROUGH OUR CITY Dr. Charles Stewart, D.D., of Chicago, and one of the best known men of the county, was in the city Sunday.

TERRELL CABINET WORKS AND REPAIRING CABINET FINISHING A SPECIALEY FLORIDA BANKER SOLVES THE JOB PROBLEM EASILY West Palm Beach, Florida, merchants and farmers of this section of Florida—known the world over mainly as a winter resort—declare there is a now business depression for them and one of the reasons, the chief one is fact, is that T. T. Reese, president of the Farmers' Bank, & Trust company has seen to it that the city's labor is kept busy. The only employment bureau operated by a bank in the United States is what the people of West Palm Beach and Palm Beach will call Mr. Reese's venture. The plan started just after the armistice was signed, Mr. Reese told a representative of the International News: Service: More than 500 men have been placed in positions since the venture began, and it is still in operation. Most of the positions filled were those of stenographers, bookkeepers, cashiers, boat captains, pilots, engineers, cooks, butlers, laudresses, housekeepers, landscaped gardeners, carmakers and mechannes of all kinds. The latter class is in greater demand and keeps the bank in constant touch with the huge number of winter yes- identes in this section, Mr. Reese makes, it all points to personally interview every person placed before that person takes up his new duties, and the record shows that more than three-fourths of the men and women have made good. The figures are accurate, because most of them opened accounts, with the bank. "It is astonishing what a serious impression it makes on a man to be placed in a position through a bank," said Mr. Reese. "We believe here that the free employment bureau, if adopted generally by the banks, will go a long way toward solving employment problems." The employment bureau in reality is an offspring of a previous venture. When the war began to take Mr. Reese's stenographers cashers, tellers and other employees he had to cast about for men to take their places, and he found the market short, so he, established a night school in the bank, and, with himself as one of the instructors, began to give free instruction to young people. Seventy-two young men and women responded to his first call for pupils. Eventually, he, used, up all the material at hand and had taught stenography, 'bookkeeping, typedwriting, to all those available.' Having filled the market with potential workers he employed as many as he could and then started out to find positions, for others. The venture was so successful, that he, resolved to do what he could to find places for others. The night school has been discontinued, but Mr. Reese said he stands ready to renew it if occasion demands. He is a competent telegraph operator, stonegrapher and bookkeeper, professions which he passed during his rise to his present position. A woman carried two $100 bills to the pure food show one night last week in addition to 30 tents. A pick-pocket took the bills and left the woman carafe home, as she lived in Rossdale. As none of the big five pick-pockets present at the show, the police are at a loss whom to suspect. 202 3730 Kansas City is rapidly coming to the front in public enterprises, with the soldier's memorial the new market" the Armourdale bath house and the Argentine community house. The following article was written several years ago. However, the truths should stimulate the "drade for disinimiment" on Armistice Day November 11: "This is to me one of the most tragic things of war, that it is mainly conducted by poor men, who have no animosity in their hearts, except the natural and instinctive upbring" of the brutal and instinct for self-preservation, and the resolve it still rather than be killed. Between these two armies thus com- posed there is far more of common sufferings than there is difference. "The struggles of countries and of armies is largely a class question, the classes of one country who exploit it, using the poor of their country to fight the exploiters of the other country, at the expense of life and limb of the workers and the poor. A true conception of the world, in my opinion, sees a natural fraternity between the poor of all countries, and a natural union of antagonism to the exploiting classes of their own country and the country of the so-called enemy. "And this is the final judgment on war, to which we ought to try and bring, the working classes of all countries, namely, that the workers of one nation are far more allied to the workers of another nation than they are divided by the so-called conflict of material or other interests. I confess myself to all certain sympathetic with those men in France and Germany, who are making war against war, and on these lines, namely, the solidarity of the poor of all countries." "Regard some of our recent wars from this point of view, and how tragically ironic the whole game of war will reveal itself. Take, for instance, the late war between Russia and Japan. In both cases the millions of soldiers were taken for the most part from the poverty-streaked home—in most cases, from the field and the plow. "Consider the Japanese soldier. He came from a little farm or a little shop, or from the streets or big cities where, with the labor of a beast, of burden, he earned the few pence necessary to give a hardful of rice and now and then a bit of poor-class fish to himself and family." "He is a pathetic figure, with his small wants, his fierce struggle for existence. But is he one whit more pathetic than this high-loose-figured stolid and illiterate Russian peasant whom he is killing or who is trying to kill him? "In all the books I have read about Russia—and I read every book about Russiad I can lay hold of—in every Russian work of fiction as of reality the figure that always absorbs my attention is the peasant. With all his illiteracy his, stupidity, narrowness of vision, his weakness, even his vices, he is a touching and winning figure." "I in the workers of Stepniak you will find pictures of the Russian peasant as, after his, wanderings, for work in different parts of his big empire, he sees again the little cottaget in which he was born and where he left his wife and children behind, which it is difficult to read without keen emotion. "And then transform this poor devil to Manchuria, and think of him daily with his vision of his home, and his family haunting him, and imagine him finding no better work in this world than going out to slaughter or to be slaughtered." "And to, slaughter whom? Another, poor peasant, like, himself, different, in language, in color, even in race, but yet a brother far more than an enemy in his hard lot, his oppression, his exploitation and his intense love-of his wife and child. "And see how this ghastly tragedy, of war re-enters after a few days or hours, of truce. In the Franco-German war, you read of how German soldiers, settled for a moment in a, French, town, used to spend their days nursing the babies of their French foes. "In our own South African war you read of moments when the soldiers on both sides exchanged tobacco and little luxuries and friendly conversation with each other. But the burden calls, the regiments fall into line, the ghastly, chice, of war is, once more, put together, and lots these people who but a few moments before had nothing but friendly feelings to each others are tearing each others' limbs disemboweling each other, sending each other to early in agony. Was ever there a contrast as ghastly as so organically, absurd?—T. H. O'Connor. HAIR DRESSING Wash, do, hair, straightening, scalp cleaning and hair cleaning. Prices 25, 35 and 50 cents.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC =Paul Attacked by a Jewish Mob. I. Paul's:Arrestr:(21;18-40). The immediate occasion of this was his effort to remove the prejudice which certain ones held, against him. His reception, by representatives of the church, was most cordial. In order that all the brethren in Jerusalem might, graciously receive him, it was proposed to him, by the elders that he take a Jewish, vow to prove that he was in no way opposed to the law, they recognized that such an act would in no way compromise, on involve the Gentile, brethren... As, to how far this act conciliated the Jews we are not told, but it only enraged the unbelieving Jews, enusing them to resort to mofh law, These amdapender, Jews, on the basis of a supposition, selged him and dragged him from the temple and beat him mercilessly, intending to put him to death. Paul was rescued from the mob by the Roman guard, stationed nearby. Paul kept, himself under control and politely asked permission of the captain to speak to the people. When he addressed him in Greek and quoted his Roman citizenship, the captain granted his request. 1. His claim for a rightful hearing (vv. 1-3). (1) His birth (v. 3). He was a Jew born in Tarsus, a city, no mean reputation. (2) His education (v. 3). He was educated in school under the tutorship of Camaliel, and instructed "according to the perfect manner of the fathers" (v. 3). His zeal (v. 3). He was as zealous toward God as those Jews who were trying to destroy him. 2. His attitude toward Jesus (vv. 4, 5). I perseptended this way into the death—it was, one of hatred, as was that of the Jews. 3. How his attitude was changed (vv. G-10). It was—brought about by the intervention of God. 4. The Lord commissioned him to go to the Gentiles (vv. 17-21). It was not of his own will that he preached to the Gentiles, but by the Lord's direct commission. III. Paul Before the Sanhedrin (23: 1-10). The Roman officers in order to learn why Paul was arrested, commanded the chief council to assemble, and brought Paul before them. Forceful.

Some four months ago I was called in attorney in a case where the Missouri Pacific Railroad company had assumed the switching service on the Kansas City Northwestern terminals, which extend from Third street west to the city limits. F. F. Breewood operates a coal yard at Twenty-seventh street and Northwestern tracks and the Missouri Hudson had maintained the switching service there for two years and was receiving $7.00 per car for switching, dividing this with the Kansas City Northwestern railway. Breewood contracted for 38 cars of coal about June 1st to be delivered at Twenty-seventh street and Northwestern railway, said coal to cost $2.16 in July, $3.00 in August and $3.25 in September loaded at the mine. About June 15 the Missouri Pcific concludes that they could get $7.00 per car if they left the coal at Seventeenth street just as well as $7.00 at Twenty-seventh street. So without notice and without orders from the utilities boat and directly in violation of the state law they abandoned the service, claiming bridge No. 10 was unsafe and condemned. We had an experienced bridge man inspect the said bridge, and he reported it safe. Now the legislature of Kansas appropriated $22,000,000 of the 1,700,000 people of Kansas at the last session, while the Missouri legislature with twice as many people, 3,400,000 only appropriated $23,000,000. But four months ago the question of service by the Missouri Pacific at Twenty-seventh and Kansas City Northwestern tracks was taken up with the public utilities board and all we have ever been able to get was procrastination, side-stepping and passing the buck. So the people my see what, service, we get, for our money. We pay about 40 clerks for this body, yet every letter we get from them, the board, is either in Washington, D.C., or on a vacation. The result is that, the people of the Western portion of Kansas City, Kansas, have been deprived of the privilege of buying 38 cars of coal this fall at from $6.00 to $8.00 per ton, and this winter when they get the coal up to about $12 or $14 per ton we expect to see Mr. Allen and his industrial court blaming Alex Howat and the dealers, while the fault lies in Mr. Allen himself and his utilities board and industrial court. Since the utilities board can be so easily hindered and stir, Allen is too busy making speeches to stay in. Topeka and attend to business and the public is left at the mercy of the Missouri Pacific Railroad company, the said road recently raised rates on their road to 2½ cents per hundred, so at present it costs $25.00 to get a car set in Kansas City. This is not just a dream, for we have a bona fide contract to show it is facts and the evidence to show the incompetency of the boards in Topeka. H. M. PERKINS, 3138 Haskell Avenue.

Dr. S. N.-Vass was there representing the educational work. I was delighted to look on his face. He says that he is going to make it go and the National Baptist Theological seminary is a go. Preachers are to be trained in the future. Dr. E. C. Morris, president of the National Baptist convention and president of the Arkansas Baptist convention, was right there, and he was in good spirits. He was accompanied by W. H. Holloway, editor of the Interstate Reporter, and the new secretary of the National Baptist Benefit Board, and Editor J. C. Crenshaw, of the Na- tional Baptist Voice, and of course I was there as one of the visitors, but the main was President A. L. Boone, of the Baptist Missionary and Educational convention of Texas. He is one of the leading men of this country, and is a sane and safe leader for the Baptists of Texas. Believe me when I tell you they are just doing things in Texas. There were big speeches, big sermons in Texas, and I got myself through with them and rode all day looking for Wichita. I got there on the Midland Valley and found Dr. J. R. Ransom waiting at the stable to receive me. Now this is one more big-hearted man. I don't blame the people of Kansas for regarding him as a leader, for he is qualified in every particular for a leader. His heart is large enough to hold all his people in Kansas and then there is room enough for others. Dr. Ransom has been a leader in his conference for years, and right by his side has been his companion. But just a little over a year ago, she answered the call that we all must some day answer. This was indeed a blow to Dr. Ransom, and I am informed that soon he is to take unto himself a companion. He assures me that there will always a place for me in his home, and he was sorry to have to invite me to go to a cafeteria restaurant cafe to have something to eat, but it will not be the next time. He treated me like he would his brother or one of his sons. Dr. S. B. Butler, who will shortly be no more, for Sunday he is going to preach his farewell isermon, and leave for Indianapolis, Ind., where he will have charge of Mt. Zion church. He was as busy as could be getting ready for the trip, and he will tell the people goodbye Sunday, and the first Sunday in November will ltake charge in his new field. Of course the Calvary Baptist church will call another pastor. He toted us around in his automobile car carriage, and landed me at the Union station, where I got a wagon on the Rock Island for Kansas City. I was able to get in a bed car, and slept like a log, reaching Kansas City Sunday morning. The reporter on that carriage had me to go to what he called the drawing room and take a bath, so as to be ready to meet Dr. B. G. Dawson, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, and his people. I had the pleasure of speaking for him Sunday morning, and then had dinner with J. W. Clay and his wife, and when I was through with that I went over to Kansas City, Kansas, to the Metropolitan Baptist church. I said I went over, but I am mistaken. Dr. Dawson has a new automobile carriage car, and he toted me over in it to the church where they were to have a Forum: Miss Bessie Eads was booked to sing. I went to the home of Mrs. Norene Davis, as I was too early for the meeting, and she had me to eat some sheep, lamb mutton. Then I walked up to the church all by my lonely, and I was glad to do this because I had the pleasure of meeting G. D. Bryson, who came from down in that hot place called Arkansas, and he has located in Kansas City, Kansas, purchased lots and erected a nice home, where he has his family. He is an industrious man, and the people of the city will welcome him. He has been there, long enough to become a reader of The Advocate. They had a fine program at the Forum. I wish that the peo- ple would get behind this and make it what it should be. They have the brain, and now they want the people to join with the great movement for the feeding of the mind and soul. It is pointing, the way to the higher manhood and womanhood. I was delighted to see the interest in it by boys and girls—school boys and girls at that. They are seekers after knowledge, and they know where to go to find it. I want to congratulate them for this. Tilford Davis, Jr., made a great address. Now I will-not say more at this time. Look out for my other letters. Send me some mail to 802 Ash street, Texarkana, Ark. Look out for my next letter. I will have something to say to you. J. O. MIDNIGHT. What "Lord" One Better. George W. Christian, Jr., secretary to President Harding, is reported to have said to Lord Northheliffe at the White House, when indicating the way to the President's office, "Come on in, Lord." This recalls a story heard in Washington in 1871-50 years ago—when the joint high commission to arrange the treaty of Washington was sitting for the settlement of the Alabama claims. The President gave a luncheon at the White House to the commissioners, the chairman of whom was Earl de Grey and Rippon. The White House butler especially instructed the colored waiters to say "My lord" when spoken to by his lordship. All went well until the earl asked what a certain dish handed to him to partake of was. "It is cold salmon, my God," said the colored waiter.—New York Herald. Common Malady. Dr. George L. Vincent, head of the Rockefeller foundation's general education board, was discussing a banking scandal. "The banker has now gone off to South America," he said. "Gone off, it is announced, to recuperate from an attack of influenza." Doctor Vincent laughed grimly. "I've heard of that kind of influenza before," he said. "It comes from cold feet, due to exposure." A Sure Reminder. Perhaps the most original suggestions for a "reminder" was that of the little boy whose grandmother had forgotten his birthday present the year before. She wished to know what she could do in order that she should not forget it again. "You might put your teeth in upside down," said the boy.—Boston Transcript. A Gay Life. Rub—Can a girl live on love?

The rather flashily-dressed woman took her fourteen-year-old daughter to the domestic science teacher. "I want her to learn to cook and sew," she said, "so that she can get a husband." For one minute the teacher stared at the woman. Then a twinkle came into her eyes. "Oh, I don't know about that being so sure a way," she laughed. "You see I teach both and I haven't yet obtained a husband." Not He. "Look here, sir!" omniously demanded old Festus Pester, who had been disturbed by queer noises in the night. "Do you play the saxophone?" "No," removing his hat and exposing a very bald head, replied the man who had recently moved in next door. "I lost my hair in the natural course of events."—Kansas City Star. Humoring a Fancy. "What did you do with the man who rocked the hont?" Inquired Dante.

There are two outstanding reasons for considering Him, two outsanding requirements for such consideration, and two outstanding results from so doing. A. B. Two Reasons. The first reason is our restlessness in the various conditions under which we are forced to live, and the many trying circumstances we meet from day to day. What we need most is quietness and poise of heart and mind in order to live comfortably ourselves and to keep us in such condition, as will make us a blessing to our fellows. Too often we go from day to day with our restlessness growing more and more pronounced until our nerves become affected and life is made a burden. We need something which will soothe the nerves, quiet the restlessness, and give us the peace of God in exchange for the disquieted spirit within us. That "something" is found in considering the Lord Jesus Christ. The second reason is our powerlessness. We expect to do great things for Him, but somehow we fall again and again. We wonder why we are so weak to combat sin in our own lives, to say nothing of being a blessing for the lives of others. The reason is that so many times we are occupied with ourselves and our resources instead of with Him and His resources. There is no lack with Him and the one who would be strong to do exploits in His name must constantly heed the exhortation of our text and be occupied with Him. "To look at Him again and again," as the word the text really means, will be found to be the secret of freedom from both our restlessness and our powerlessness. Two Requirements. The first requirement is full reliance upon the Holy Spirit. It is His office to reveal Christ to our hearts at all times. None but the Holy Spirit can do this for us and we must constantly rely upon Him to fulfill the purpose for which He was given. "When He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth, for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear that shall He speak; and He will show you things to come. He shall glorify me; for He shall receive of mine and shall show it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of mine and shall show it unto you."—John 16:13-15. The second requirement is mediation on the word of God. The only way the Holy Spirit can perform His work is through the Word. The reason why we know so little concerning Christ is because we spend so little time over the Bible. The only medium the Holy Spirit employs to reveal Christ to the waiting heart is the Scriptures. "Search the Scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life; and they are they which testify of me."—John 5:39. Nowhere else but in the Bible is found the full revelation of Christ, and no one else but the Holy Spirit can show Him unto us. We need therefore before all else to be in daily meditation upon the Word, in full reliance upon the Holy Spirit to take of the things of Christ and show them unto us. Two Results. From the above program the first result will be a growing likeness to Christ. As we meditate upon the Word from day to day there will come to us an increasing desire to know more of Christ. This desire the Holy Spirit will satisfy and with the satisfaction will come, perhaps all unconsciously to ourselves, an increasing transformation into the character of the Lord Jesus. There will be need of much patience, but the result is sure. "We all with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."—II Cor. 3:18. The second result will be the transformation of our service into something akin to that which Jesus Himself rendered. With our restlessness gone, our powerlessness exchanged for His strength, with full reliance upon the Holy Spirit, and with our daily meditation upon the Word, there will come to us a new ability beyond anything we ever knew, and the service which perchance had become irksome will be turned into a joyous delight above all other things our hearts find pleasure in. We will go forth not merely with the desire to serve, but with a quiet confidence of having the power to serve acceptably, and we will fulfill our Lord's purpose for us when he said: "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you that ye should go and bring forth fruit and that your fruit should remain."—John 15:10.

Susan was having her first beau, a youngster who drove a truck. And often when he came to Susan's home at night, since he lived in the other part of town, he came in the truck. The family continually twitted her about it, saying such things as "I suppose the neighbors will think we're having our coal hauled at night," or "our flour" or some other commodity. But one evening even father was horrified when one of the ten-year-old boys in the neighborhood said innocently: "My pa said that your pa would get pinched some night if he didn't quit having so much booze hauled here after dark." Investigation disclosed the fact that the truck that stood at their door one evening each week was an old brewery truck.—Indianapolis News. WHEN WEARY WILLIE SCORED Uncle Isaac Was Just a Little Bit Too Emphatic In His Verdict Concerning Coat. Weary Willie slouched into the pawn-shop. "How much will you give me for this overcoat?" he asked, producing-a faded but neatly mended garment. Isaac looked at it critically. "Four dollars," he said. "Why," cried Weary, Willie, "that coat's worth $10 if it's worth a penny!" "I wouldn't give you $10 for two like that," smiled Isaac. "Four dollars or nothing." "Are you sure that's all it's worth?" asked Willie. "Four dollars," repeated Isaac. "Well, here's your $4," said Weary Willie. "This overcoat was hangin' outside yer shop, and I was wonderin' how much it was really worth." SOLICITED Hicks, Grocer ERIES AND MEATS Phone Fifield 0713W Prompt Delivery Jones' Laundry F. D.
