Volume VIII HEAR PRES MRS. BRADLEY'S MURDERER HAS ADMITTED CRIME Frank Davis, Youth of 18, Tells Details of Crime — Motive Was Robbery, But He Got But Little. Frank Davis, a youth of 18 years of age, was arrested, charged with the murder of Mrs. Jennie Bradley near her home in Quindaro Wednesday night, November 2, made an open confession Monday to the officers of the killing of Mrs. Bradley while she was enroute home from work on the night stated. First Davis implicated Theodore Walker in the murder, but in his confession Monday to the officers, completely exonerated Walker, and he was released. Davis, who was a neighbor of the woman, stated he had met up with Mrs. Bradley on her way home, and walked with her until they came to the lonely spot near the Bell crossing and in the meantime had picked up a club with which he hit his victim in the head, killing her, and continued to hit and kick her to make sure the job was thoroughly done. Davis says he committed the deed for money, as he knew Mrs. Bradley carried a good sum about her. Mrs. Bradley was 50 years of age, and one of that community's highly esteemed citizens. Only three weeks ago two other colored women, Mrs. Mattie Bailey and Mrs. W. A. Grady were brutally murdered on their way home in the suburbs of Argentine district, of which no definite clue as to the guilty party has been brought to light. LOS ANGELES SOCIAL SERVICE WORKER HERE Mrs. Mabel Gray, a prominent social service worker, is in the city for ten days, the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. George Shanks, 627 Winona avenue, Kansas City, Kansas.

While in this city Mrs. Gray will be actively engaged in her work of investigation. It is expected that Mrs. Gray will address several audiences while in the city. Mr. Clyde Briggs of Atchison, a mail carrier of that city and grand secretary of King Solomon Grand lodge of the York Rite Masons, was in the city the week end. Mr. Briggs was the guest of Dr. J.

Davidson, 2510 North Allis street, passed to the beyond Thursday morning at 5 minutes past 4 o'clock. The wife and family have the deepest sympathy of a host of friends in their hour of bereavement. Miss Lottie Long of Kansas City, Mo., was over at W. R. Johnson Real Estate Co.'s office, 516 Minnesota avenue, in consultation. Mr. H. L. Mobily, clerk in the post office, received a telegram Monday of the serious illness of a brother in Chicago, and left immediately to his bedside. Mrs. B. Thomas at 2033 North Third street, is one of our enterprising business women and operates a nice cafe, ice cream and soft drink parlor. At 1516 North Fifth street, Mr. Henry Cypert has one of the neatest and sanitary barber shops that one would want to go into. Everything is snowy white and it is always found that way. It is a two-chair shop with two real mechanics behind them. They are busy all the time. Mr. R. B. Brown, at 1414 North Fifth street for many years taking care and keeping in repair men's faces and heads, is well prepared with three of as good barbers as there is in the city, including one lady barber, who they say is the best. Mr. Brown is one of the old barbers and keeps up with the times in the business. "The Royal Confectionery now located at 418 Minnesota avenue, started a little over a year ago, just across the street in a little small space and moved across the street to its present location less than a year ago, which is, a large, commodious room, where their business has ADVOCATE W. A. BAILEY TO SPEAK AT CITIZENS' FORUM The Citizens' Forum will have for their speaker this Sunday, Mr. W. A. Bailey, former principle of Kansas City High school, and now the present manager of the Kansas City Kansan. Mr. Bailey's subject will be "Disarmament." The subject is a popular one at this particular time and should be heard discussed by this eminent gentleman. Miss Smothers and Miss Mickey of Stowe school are the program committee and have in store a rich program for this meeting. Invite your friends and neighbors to be present at 4 p. m., place Metropolitan Baptist Temple, Ninth street and Washington boulevard. Mrs. Nora Trent and Mr. John Collins, Sr., are still sick. continued to grow. Mr. Alex Hicks is the proprietor and a more courteous business man cannot be found on the avenue. Mr. Hicks has the staying qualities. The Home Drug Company, 1512 North Fifth, the oldest drug store in the city, has established a business under the management of Mr. Willis Allen that is rated among the leading stores in the city. They employ two pharmacists and two clerks, and one delivery boy.. The large two-story brick in which it is housed is owned by the ecompany, with a number of offices up stairs occupiel by physicians and dentists. One of the young men who has made a success in business is James Turner, who runs a grocery at 404 Virginia avenue. Mr. Turner has built up in the short time in business, a remarkable trade and by his fair and honest dealing it is growing rapidly. Mr. Turner is to be congratulated on his success and the many friends, he has made since his inauguration of business. This store handles a fine stock of groceries and fresh meats, and handles nothing but the best. EVERYONE TO PARADE ON ARMISTICE DAY Plans are completed and things are looking fine for the big anti-war demonstration. The parade will form at 1:30 p. m., on Minnesota avenue, west of Tenth street. No man, woman or child able to walk should fail in this, the greatest opportunity ever offered to the people of Kansas City to show their attitude on the continuance of wars. If your reasoning powers are on the right side of your head and your heart is right side up for the sake of generations that are to follow us as well as for our own we should co-operate in this demonstration favoring the limitation of armaments and finally the elimination of war. Wars are fostered by the ambitions and jealousies of the rulers of nations and the capitalists to whom war-brings an increased opportunity for profiteering. The fact that 100 of the big news arteries of our country were bought up by the ammunition and other profiteering interests to spread the propaganda of war and whet the people's nerves to the point that they should demand that we, as a nation, enter the World War, is evidence enough that we should use every opportunity to come back and fix things with the nations of the world so that future wars will be impossible. Great disarmament parades will be marching Armistice Day in almost all important cities of our country. The sentiment and pressure, we hope, will be strong enough to have no small bearing on the Disarmament Conference. It is a small thing only to march in a parade. Please see to it that you do that much. THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER THE RACE HAS PRODUCED MANY GREATEST MEN Dr. Stewart, Before the Y. W. C. A. at Wheeling, W. Va., Tells of What the Race Must Do to Win. Wheeling, W. Va., Nov. 1. "Whenever I stand uncovered in the presence of Old Glory my mind goes back to the days of courtship, 'If you love me as I love you,' no prejudice of race could cut our love in two. But on the other side it would read 'As you have protected me in all the conflicts in which I have been engaged, and your blood was the first spilled for me, now I will give protection to you and yours at home and abroad and will consign to the bottomless pit of hades mob violence and lynching and wherever I am unfurled life, and property of every citizen are safe.'" This was the declaration made by Charles Stewart, A.M., D.D., of Chicago, Ill., general missionary of the National Baptist convention in addressing an audience which filled the auditorium of Simpson Methodist Episcopal church last night. Dr. Stewart comes to the city under the auspices of the Blue Triangle Branch of the Y. W. C. A., and delivered several sermons and addresses during his stay here. Last Sunday morning he preached at Macedonia Baptist church, and in the afternoon spoke to men and boys at Simpson M. E. church, and preached at Wayman African Methodist Episcopal church Sunday night. Monday morning Dr. Stewart addressed the high school, and delivered a talk to women and girls in the afternoon at the A. M. E. church, closing out last night with a lecture on Uncle Ned and His Son. Long before the hour for the address the church was filled. The lecture was freighted with wit and common sense. "Uncle Ned" was pictured as the man who served his God, his country and his earthly master faithfully and well, being a slave. The Emancipation Proclamation caused sadness in the big house for thirty years, because it was declared that Uncle Ned was dead and no one to take his place. With the coming of Booker T. Washington at the Atlanta (Ga.) exposition, greaching "Cast down. your buckets where you are," he said was construed by the master class to mean "Negro take a menial place, do what white folks want you to be. and do (Concluded on Fourth Page) Number 13 THE COMMUNITY CHEST DRIVE BE- GINS MONDAY Kansas City, Kansas, Citizens Have Never Been Known to Fail in Anything and Will Not in This. The Community chest drive, under the supervision of the Chamber of Commerce, to raise deficiencies in the annual budget of all charitable institutions in the city will open Monday next, November 14th, and continue through the week. It has been estimated that about $100,000 will be needed to meet the deficiency in our charitable institutions that they might be operated this fiscal year. Kansas City, Kansas, citizens have never been known to fall short of the mark in any drive it has ever put on, so this one for "dear charity's sake" will not fall short of past records. No one could hardly feel that they were a citizen if they did not give something to this worthy cause. OPENINGS IN THE COAST GUARD SEVICE Washington, D.C.—Dear Sir: The Coast Guard have a Cadet Guard academy of New London, Connecticut, for Cadets and Cadet Engineers, to attend school and graduate and become Commissioned Officers of the Coast Guard, with the same rank and pay as is given similar officers in the Navy. Young men within the age limit of eighteen and twenty-four years can be appointed as cadets, and the age limit for Cadet Engineers is from twenty to twenty-five. Those who are too old to get to West Point and Annapolis may enter at New London. Competitive examinations to fill vacancies in the Coast Guard at New London will be held in various parts of the United States beginning January 3, 1922. If there are any young men in your Congressional District who wish to be examined, I will instruct that information be sent them if they write me. If your paper cares to publish this news to the young men of your community, I think it might be helpful to some of them. Probably some boys would prefer the opportunity to similar ones at West Point and Annapolis. I believe I would myself. Your Congressman. E. C. LITTLE. Rev. R. W. Reed, 103 Stewart avenue, preached in Tonganoxie Sunday for Rev. Gillespie. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. CITIZENS' FORUM The Forum met as usual. But as the program was not sent to the publicity committee in time she did not get it advertised. It was to have been Lawyers' Day, but the members of the bar postponed their program for another time. Judge Bradley made quite a good talk and some nice music was rendered. Next unday, November 13, a fine program will be rendered for sure. Come to the Forum at 4 p. m. at Metropolitan Temple, Ninth street and Washington boulevard. HOLDING REVIVAL St. Luke's A. M. E. Mission at Twelfth street and Ann avenue, is in a two weeks' revival meeting. Mrs. J. T. Smith of Parsons, Kansas, is conducting the campaign. The church is crowded every night and many are acknowledging a hope in Christ. Mrs. Smith, is a great spiritual worker and her preaching is plain Gospel truths. Rev. Watts is pastor of this church, and has built up quite a membership in the short time of its organization. The public is invited to attend all of these meetings.

CHURCH NEWS A most beautiful and cheerful day was the Lord's on last Sunday, when men, women and children were allowed the privilege, some probably for the last time, to visit His house of worship and there hear the word of God preached from His holy altar. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, after a few weeks rest, but not physically strong yet, filled his pulpit and delivered a soulstirring sermon. The congregation, was extra large their appreciation of the sermon was shown in expressions of tears, amens and hallelujahs. Dr. Griffin filled his pulpit at the day's closing service, 7:30 p. m., when another fine sermon was delivered to a nice audience. At the close of the morning service communion was administered to the largest number that has been witnessed for many years. Afterwards baptism took place, when seven were baptized. The Sabbath school at 9:30 a.m., was crowded with pupils. There probably is no school in the two cities that have the regular attendance as this school, and as a superintendent there is hardly an equal, as Dean Jones. Rev. Jones is one of the ripest scholars in theology we have. DOUGLASS DAY This Sunday will be known as Douglass hospital day, not for money, but to arouse a greater spirit among our people, for a bigger and better equipped hospital. Rev. F.

The Kansas City Advocate, November 11, 1921 METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Sunday, November 6, 1921, was the first day of our new pastor's real beginning of his ministry here. The main auditorium overflowed into the balcony with people to hear him. He preached two great spiritual sermons; one at 11 a. m., and another at 7:30 p. m. Seven or eight joined the church. The publicity committee got in the first printed welcome on a large card in the hall. He thanked the members of the Mission Circle for having his cut printed to advertise his coming; also thanked the writer for the nice writeups in the paper. Dr. McDaniels, editor of the Record in Kansas City, Mo., got several men to present the new pastor a year's subscription to his paper. The pastor's wife was introduced to the church. At night another large crowd came. Deacon Taylor made a fine plea for collection and it was found that the ordinary collection was over $196. Deacons Oliver, Johnson, Ford, Thomas, Jennings, Taylor etc., were present. As we go to press the Mission Circle has a home welcome reception Wednesday at Mrs. Battles' for the new pastor and his family. We will tell more about it next week. The B. Y. P. U. and Sunday school are growing very large. Next Sunday, November 13, at one service there will be baptizing. Come to both services, so you won't miss it. Come hear this "son of thunder," preach, you won't regret it. Come and join us. We have held together six months without a pastor, and have not lost a member by anger. Six o'clock prayer meetings are fine. Also Wednesday evening prayer meetings. The Sewing Circle had anotherlarge meeting and are preparing for a big church reception. BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY On last Friday evening, November 4th, a beautiful birthday anniversary was given in honor of Mrs. Clara Jane Fulcher at her home, 1847 North Seventh street, it being her 69th milestone. Mrs. Fulcher is still hale and hearty and with her entire family being present for the first time in many years. She enjoyed the reunion immensely.

Western could do nothing with Lincon's aerial route of which all three of their touchdowns were made. Western University showed its superior strength on straight football; made their two touchdowns on bucking the line. The two teams were quite evenly matched and being old rivals since 1912, and Western University's record, up to Saturday, with only three defeats felt quite confident of adding one more scalp at the expense of the Tigers. The final score was the Bulldogs, 13; Tigers, 20. COME TO THIS MEETING There will be a public meeting at M. & O. Hall next Wednesday evening, November 16.

ETTA FOSTER. Attorney for Plaintiff. Attest: R. J. McFarland, Clerk of the District Court, by H.E. Meade. Deputy. First published Oct. 21, 1921) WITH A POINT. Sorrow often binds people together True men are always truthful men. Don't expect applause. Deserve it. To do good is better than to be done good. Suffer fools gladly; they may be right. Picking winners is usually a losing game. Women forgive and remember; men forget. Only when hope is dead do we cease to fear. Be it ever so homely, there's no face like your own. One-half the world wonders why the other half lives. It is easier to criticize people than to appreciate them. No one is ever so busy as the person without occupation. What we wish is the shadow; what we will is the substance. Too many people regard speed and progress as synonymous. There approaches the open season for football casualty lists. Hands that work and serve will never wear steel bracelets. Do not let fear or ridicule keep you from expressing high ideals. Man who speaks contemptuously of "friends" never had real ones. When a man gets something by luck he is sure that he has brains. Most men resent idle rumors about them, but they have no remedy. Poets are born—therefore their ancestors should be held responsible. Mr. Chas. McClain has been on the sick list for several days at his home, 813 Freeman avenue. Mrs. Julius Dave, 2401 North Allis, has been quite ill for several days. Her friends regret very much to learn of her illness and hope she may soon be out again. JOURNAL ENTRY In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas, 2nd Division.

Come to think of it, about all there is of a man is the goodness in his heart. The meek shall inherit the earth—but they must not grow impatient about it. It is hard to appreciate good advice that doesn't coincide with one's own desires. Conscience is not an absolutely certain guide. Conscience needs a moral education. When a man falls into an error he is likely to be more or less injured in his descent. Joe the Plodder says it's a good idea to keep your fences and your temper in good repair. Money is just like a man. The tighter it gets the louder it talks.—Raleigh Times. The man who leaves the world no better than he found it is a worse parasite than dodder. When compared with the tailormade woman appearances are against the self-made man. Truth crushed to earth has learned to try to make a coalition with the party in opposition.

The speaker said that it was all right then until reading the morning paper early one morning it was discovered that Dr. Washington had taken tea with the President Roosevelt, then it was no longer Uncle Ned but Uncle Ned's son. This brought his to his climax, the American problem, the black man who was not contented with a special assignment in the walks of life but wanted everything any other American wanted. He did not want a special education because of his race or color, but wanted the same kind of education and just as much as his brother in white. "The white man and the black man are contending side by side for the mastery, and they must be equally trained if they would have an equal chance for the goal. "We are not to reach the goal by abusing the white man or any other man, but by faith in God and his own black skin, a trained mind tuned in harmony with God's laws, we are going to put under our feet race prejudice, race proscription and make this world see a man minus color. For manhood is not color, not physical size or strength, but mind, soul, will. He thinks. Destroy mind in the human being, I care not what the color of his skin may be, you will find a perpetual infant, and if you are in doubt, you have only to visit the insane asylums and you will find the white and black inmates the same, and since that is true why not the same in the intellectual world.

IS AUTHOR OF CLASSIC THESIS (Continued from First Page) and sleep in still another is possible in this world, and you will have to agree with me. Here I am right in sight of Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana. I am in the office of one of the busiest men in this nation, Prof. W. T. Daniels, special secretary of the Supreme Royal Circle of the World, and it is all that it says that it is and a little more at that, and if you are in doubt I wish you could just spend about 30 minutes in the office of the Supreme Secretary, and you will be like that woman who went to see Old King Solomon, you will eclaim, "The half has not been told." Prof. Daniels has a well fitted office, and believe me, honey, he keeps them clerks going all the time, and he is busy himself. He is a man of system, and a man of methods, and I want to congratulate this order on being able to secure such a strong man. Perhaps you are not acquainted with the Supreme Royal Circle of Friends, and if not permit me to say to you that it is one of the strongest fraternal organizations in this world of ours. It had its birth first in the brains of Dr. R. A. Williams of Helena, Ark., a man of rare ability and training. He called some of his best friends into his confidence, and told of his vision, and right there and then it was launched. He was a man of money, a busy medical doctor, and kept busy all the time looking after the sick, and now comes a time when he can put forth a method by which the sick can help themselves, and something can be left behind for the widows and orphans when you cross the River of Jordan. I mean when the husband and wife pass over and not the widows and orphans. Dr. Williams has been a factor in the racial development of the country. He did not desire to confine a good thing to Arkansas, hence he has been spreading out with the Royal Circle of Friends until it is now in many of the states, and the supreme session was held in Kansas City, Mo., and it was a great meeting, and opened the eyes of the civilized world. This order is composed of some of the brainy men and women of the race, and they made a good showing in Kansas City. Right by the side of Dr. Williams is Dr. R. L. Redmon, of Tennessee, the supreme vice-president; Mrs. Sopha Batson, Ark., supreme ogverness; L. S. Blount, Ark., supreme assistant secretary, and there are many other supreme officers that I will not take time to mention this time. I know Mrs. Lula M. Blount, of Forrest City, who is the endowment secretary, and a woman of rare ability. The organization is on a solid foundation, and is one of the racial institutions that is doing what they claim to do, and living up to their obligations. I doff my hat to these pioneers. When I wrote to you last time I was in Wheeling, West Virginia, and there you will believe me when I tell you I had a great time. It was while at Wilberforce University last June that I was invited by Miss Alice R. Lightfoot to visit Wheeling for the Blue Triangle Y. W. C. A., and make a few scattering remarks to the people. She had me to come, and I am glad that I did go, for I met many new faces, and found the people there trying to do something. Miss Lightfoot is a graduate from Wilberforce University, and one of the women engaged in teaching. She is a good teacher right in her home town. I am not going to tell you all the things that took place, the various talks I made there, but I got away when I was through, and beat it to Columbus.-Ohio, in the rain. I went direct to the Y. M. C. A., found the business men in a noon session. A man was talking to them about investments. I listened to the address and when he "was through it was all I could do to keep my mouth from jumping out of my heart, when I was told that I was to make a few remarks. Nimrod Allen, the son of Editor G. W. Allen of the Southern Christian Recorder, introduced me, and he did put it on. I wondered if he was really talking about me, and in the language of one I had to ask, The Kansas City Advocate, November 11, 1921 "Who in the devil is he talking about?" Then I visited the large school for our people there, and found Prof. Mitchell one more busy man with 35 teachers. He invited me to make a few remarks to the teachers. Next found me at Wilberforce University. There I was the guest of Dr. John Gregg, the president. He is doing a great big work there, and I am sure that all the people are proud of what he is doing. I found Dean Gilbert Jones right by his side. MOVE IN RIGHT DIRECTION Jornny's Desire for Even Partial Cleanliness Clearly a Thing to Be Encouraged. The anecdotes that the Companion has printed illustrating the reluctance of children to go any farther in the direction of cleanliness than they are obliged to go have reminded two of our readers of incidents in their own experience that still further drive home the point. One mother writes that when she reminded her five-year old son one day that he had no washed his hands for supper, he turned them to show that the inside I had the pleasure of seeing the son of Kansas, Tilford Davis, Jr., the son of his father. He was making good in the department of shorthand under Prof. C. S. Smith. Prof. Smith is not a mere stenographer, but he is a shorthand writer, and he can take down every word and grunt and groan you make just as they came from your mouth, and he is preparing our young people to do the same thing. Wonderful, how he is doing this kind of work. He has developed a great department here in this school and you will believe me that it is the best business college in America for our young people. Today I doff my hat to Dean Gilbert H. Jones, of the department of liberal arts of Wilberforce University. Some time ago he wrote a book in the German language. I will just copy the words I saw called the name of the thesis or book: "Lotze und Bowne, Eine Verglet chung Iher Philosophischen Arbeit." It worked its way through the universities in Continental Europe, and now comes a letter from the University of Boston, asking permission to translate the book from the German into English, and said many other good things about it. He got the degree of Ph.D. from one of the universities in Europe, and this is a credit to us. It was from the University of Jena, Germany. He studied at the Universities of Berlin, Leipzig, Goettinger and Jena, and took special lectures at the University of Paris under Poincare. I spent one night and a part of the day at Wilberforce, and Dr. R. C. Ranscin, one of the next bishops, was there also, and we had a great time. Secretary Jenkins was as busy as he could be. He is indeed a wonderful character, and a man who believes in doing things. He is a scholar and a strii business man. Miss L. S. Gransha was at her post of duty, and there were many of my friends there I did not get to see. Tilford Davis said he was going to send his garters to the friends by me, but he must have eforgotten to get them in my hands before I left for St. Louis. Reaching the city I found the teachers of the state in session. I had the pleasure of having a long chat with Aaron E. Malone, of Poro college. He is improving and will soon be himself again. He is going to spend the winter in a warm clime. He is improving right along. I was delighted to be with him, and to learn that he had been out riding. Mrs. Malone was as happy as could be. Here I am in this place, but will step over into Texas to see Bishop W. D. Johnson, and will tell you about him next week. I have not mentioned my visit to the Arkansas Baptist college, but will do so. J. O. MIDNIGHT.

One mother writes that when she reminded her five-year-old son one day that he had not washed his hands for supper, he turned them to show that the insides were clean and remarked that he did not eat with the back of his hands! The same boy asked: "Who washes the elephant's ears?" Our other correspondent, who is an aunt, tells an amusing story of the first stirrings of a desire for at least partial cleanliness In her small nephew. He rushed home from school one day, crying: "Mother, wash this ear"—holding one ear up to her. "Why that ear?" she asked. "Cause Fannie B—— sits on that side of me in school," was Johnny's reply. "Youth's Companton. Response Was Pat The church buildings of Jeffersonville are nearly all close to each other in one precinct, known as the "church precinct." Two of the churches in this prefect occupy opposite corners at one street Intersection. Services are held at the same hours, and the passerby can often bear two congregations singing simultaneously. The other day this is what happened: From the open doors and windows of one church floated out the strains: "Will there be any stars in my crown?" Like an echo there came from the other church to the grinning outsider, this response: "No, not one; no, not one."—Indianapolis News. A Fair Substitute. "Hey there!" shouted an acquaintance, peering in through the open doorway of an Arkansas domicile, wherein the head of the family was beating on a tin wash boiler and yelling at the top of his voice, while half a dozen or more dogs sat around and howled in admiration. "What in torment is coming off? Have you lost your mind?" "Nope!" replied Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge. Ark. "But wife has took the children to visit their grammar over beyond Mount Pizzy, and I'm so lonesome that I've just natherly got to do something."—Kansas City Star. "Movies" and Eye Strain. "Movies" and Eye Strain. One potent cause of eye strain in movie theaters, according to investigators in England, is peculiar to the front seats, especially popular with children, where the eye must be uncomfortably uplifted to see the screen. It is recommended that the visual angle to the top of the screen should not be more than 35 degrees, and the angle to the screen's side also should be limited.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. Comprehensive, at Least. An Anglo-Indian doctor instructed a native who was nursing one of the doctor's patients to keep a written record of the patient's symptoms. The doctor, on his next visit, found the patient dead, but the written chart was immediately forthcoming. It read as follows: 11:30 p. m.—Patient's life is flitting. 12:15 a. m.—Patient in the sink. 1:40 a. m.—Patient's life is flown. The Right Instinct. "Come.. Dorothy." said her father impatiently, "throw your doll on the bed and hurry or we shall be late." "Daddy, how can you?" reproved the child. "I isn't that kind of a muver." —Boston Transcript. In France they are now building homes out of pressed straw. In Kansas houses of this kind would merely show which way the wind blows.—Los Angeles Times. Some men do right only because they are too cowardly to do wrong. Getting credit when not needed doesn't help any when it is wanted. It's not poverty we mind. No, not at all. It's just plain old being poor. A man doesn't mean what he says; a woman doesn't say what she means. Being satisfied with yourself is not always a compliment to your taste. It's seldom selfishness that prompts a man to keep his troubles to himself. Mercy is a blessing that, too, flows from a sense of our own shortcomings.
