KANSAS Finds a Woman Who Started a Seminary in One Room, With Ten Pupils; Now Has a Great School Arcadia, Fla.—Just a few more days and we will be assembled in Tuskegee Institute to take part in the unveiling of the Booker T. Washington monument, and I hope that you are going to be there to pay a tribute to this great man whose life was spent in helping humanity, and you note I say in helping humanity. Not his race, but humanity, for all peoples not something out of his life. It is a great man who can race about race, color and creed and hear the human cry, go to the rescue of a human being struggling to get up and not stop to ask about his race or color. But few men can do this, and most of our young people think now that they must prepare to be race leaders and go to lift up their race. But far from that, man is to serve man, and do so without prejudice. It will take time to make us see this, because we are being taught a civilization of color instead of manhood. I wish I could recall the words of Bobbie Burns, but I cannot do so, something about a man is a man. I am sure that you will know them and just apply them. I was born in the dark of the moon and got dark goods mixed up in me, but what has that to do with my manhood? Just now it has much to do with it. But coming back, you know Booker T. Washington was a man and the whole civilized world honored him because of his manhood rather than for his color, and we have in his stead, another great giant, Dr. Robert R. Moton. He is a man every inch of him, and he is doing a great work. Like Booker T., he is serving humanity and the world knows that he is living. Of course you will find men who like them littl men in Gulliver's Travels will bite at him, will try to cut down the mountain men, but Dr. Moton is going right on trying to bless humanity, and those who cry down now, will some day gather around his open grave and praise God for his life. This was the case with Dr. Washington when he lived and walked this earth. Of course he still lives in the hearts of men today, and those who said mean things about him then, praise him now. and generations yet unborn will see his worth. You find me getting around in Florida, and this is a great state. I have been very sick, but still I am moving. It looked at one time as if I would cash in and join those who have gone before me, and I may do so yet, but there are many who are praying for me just now, and I am still living. I think when death catches be it will be somewhere on the road. I am not running from it, but I want to do as much as possible during the closing days. So here I am getting around and you will listen to me, and grow wise if not fat. Do not seek to grow too fat, nor too lean, but just take the middle ground and live until you have to die. I wrote you last week from Fort Myers, and now you see where I am to write to you this week. But believe me, honey, I have been doing some going since I wrote you that letter: I left Fort Myers Sunday morning, going to Bartow, Florida, where I spent the day and night with the Rev. Dr. Smith. When I passed through this place the Rev. Dr. G. P. McKinney was at the stable and wanted me to get off and see this garden spot of the world, (Concluded on Fourth Page) Kansas City, Mo., New Era Lodge No. 40, Knights of Pythias, in their last regular meeting unanimously endorsed Trermon B.

LAWRENCE FORUM TO MAKE ANNUAL VISIT HERE ON APRIL 23 The Lawrence Forum, according to schedule, will pay the Citizens' Forum of this city, their annual visit Sunday, April 23, at which time they will render the program and be in full charge of the exercises. These two Forums have been exchanging programs annually for some years and find it very profitable to each other. RESOLUTION ON COLONEL CHARLES YOUNG We, the Memorial Committee appointed at the memorial services held in remembrance and honor of Colonel Charles Young, on March 12, 1922, do hereby in pursuance of the trust placed in us, express our deepest sympathy to both the mother and wife. We can but regret that God has taken from our race one who was most valuable to us as a people both because of his personal worth and highest type of manhood. The loneliness felt by his family is shared by all who knew his worth and his spirit of comradeship, by the true hearted and noble man whose souls delighted in the subtile and intangible yet powerful personality which he possessed. As the days go by the cumulative debt we owe him will be felt more keenly and more poignant will be our grief that our "Great-Heart" has left us. We will miss him more because we realize that few have had contact with people and forces which could benefit a struggling race as he could. His deep concern for racial progress is recognizd and appreciated by a grateful people. We hope as the years advance that the mantle of aggressiveness and greatness will fall upon his children and that they in memory of their illustrious father will add to our race the contribution which he would have delighted in giving. We commend his honorable memory for them to cherish and foster both in deeds of service and spirit. On this day, the 12th of March, 1922. it was resolved that the citizens of Kansas City, Kansas, make his birthday an annual memorial commemorating his worth and service to his race and humanity, that his memory will ever linger in the minds of a grateful people. We jointly commend to the family the care and guidance of Almighty God who inerringly and constantly watches over His own, believing that absolute trust in His will is necessary for true peace and balm for loneliness caused by his journey into the great beyond. Presented with deepest sympathy and condolence. Mrs. A. S. Dow won the centerpiece from Mrs. Boone, of Chicago, as first prize, and Mrs. L. Eskridge won the quilt as the second prize. Mrs. C. Graves played well for Ireland's pageant. CITY Kansas City, Kansas, Frida M. V. I. A. TRACK MEET GIVES W. U.

Grand Master Broadnax, After Installation, Makes Trip in Kansas—Craft is in Good Shape Rev.J. J. A. Broadnax, Grand Master of the Most Worshipful King Solomon Grand Lodge, of F. A. A. York Masons, was called at Lincoln, Nebraska, last week to set up a new lodge which was accomplished on March 10. The new lodge contains some of the leading citizens of that city, and it is destined to be one of the brightest lights in the near future of the jurisdiction. From there he journeyed to Lawrence, Kans., and met Far West lodge No. 5, and Wm. L. Herrod Court No. 5, and found them doing great things for the uplifting of humanity. From there to Topeka, Kans., where he met the Craft and Court in joint session, where we found them taking on new life. The next place visited was Manhattan, where we found the Lodge and Court on the alert. And at Junction City, the Craftsmen are all working as never before in building up (National Pact) Prince Hall Origin. On Monday, March 13, the Grand Master left for Chicago, Ill., to attend to Masonic business. He wishes the Crafts a harmonious year and bids them to look well to their individual interest.

A LETTER FROM SOUTH AFRICA Cape Town, S. A., Feb. 16.—Hon. Thos. Kennedy, Kansas City, Kansas. Dear Brother Kennedy: I have just received a copy of The Advocate. It contained a reproduction of my article, "Other Sheep." I am glad to know that you found it of sufficient interest to your readers to warrant its publication. I have been trying to visualize conditions here that the home church, American Negro might see both their opportunity and their duty to their brothers here. All I may say is but a faint description of our experience from day to day. We have traveled thousands of miles over this country organizing churches, preaching and teaching the people. They are so eager for the light, it has been a glorious opportunity to serve. Mrs. Vernon has labored among the native women to good advantage. There are two million white people in South Africa, about six hundred thousand colored people and seven million natives. Of these natives thousands are civilized, many educated, a few are scholars and millions are in Heathenism. Our home is in Cape Town, a beautiful city by the sea. It is thoroughly modern and quite as comfortable as we could be in Kansas City or Quindaro. Of course we realize that we are ten thousand miles from home and that an ocean is between us and America and friends. However, we remember that God is here and duty is here. The Heathen must be saved. I am enclosing subscription to The Advocate. As you know it will require extra postage for foreign delivery. With kindest regards to you and yours in which Mrs. Vernon joins. Yours in Christ, W. T. VERNON, Household of Ruth No. 5946 met last Wednesday afternoon and was well attended and the finances were excellent. Mr. Lonie Edwards of Lodge 7242, entertained the sisters to a gallon of ice cream and ten cakes, which were greatly enjoyed.The sisters were very much pleased and extended Mr. Edwards a hearty vote of thanks for his hospitality. Mrs. L. V. Terrel, M.W.G., Mrs. S. B. Dortch, Sec'y. Mrs. Rosa Stephens, 830 Nebraska avenue, fell last week and hurt her side quite badly and has been confined to the house since, but is much better at this time. ANDERSON IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SAUNDERS DEATH After Hotly Contested Trial Jury Brings in Verdict of Not Guilty. —Both Men of Good Family One of the most interesting criminal trials in many years in Wyandotte county, Kansas, was that of the State of Kansas against Walter Anderson, which terminated in a verdict of acquittal after a prolonged and stubborn legal battle. Anderson was charged with the murder of Noah Saunders, whom he shot on the highway, near the old Park in the early morning of November 20, 1921, after an all-night entertainment in Quindaro of the sort known as "wide open." And the relatives of Mr. Saunders left no stone unturned in the course of the prosecution, and in addition to the regular force of the state in the person of Mr. Enright and Mr. Johnson, they procured a special prosecutor in the person of Captain Joseph Taggart, formerly county attorney here, and ex-congressman, who assisted Mr. Johnson in representing the state. The defendant was represented by I. F. Bradley, that veteran of many legal battles, none of which have been waged with more thought and legal ability, nor with a more fixed purpose and determination to win. In fact, he seemed to consider it the "battle royal" of his life, to prevent a conviction of Mr. Anderson.

They have the sympathy of their many friends in their hour of sorrow. Mr. Wiley Dortch. 324 Everett avenue, met with a very painful accident, wrenching his back so severely that he has been confined to his bed for more-than a week, it happening on March 15. Mrs. Venetia Foster, the daughter of Mrs. W. W. Pattrick, is at St. Margaret's hospital, where she underwent an operation and while 'she is doing very well, her friends are anxious to see her out. KANSAS, CITY, KANSAS West Plains is a thriving little city of more than five thousand population, with a splendid set of colored people. The white people are very generous and nice to our people. We have two colored churches here, the Mount Olive Baptist church, pastored by Rev. M. C. Lewis, and the Colored Methodist church, pastored by Rev. Grimm. One good public school taught by our own race girl, Miss Lois Thomas,-the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas. Mrs. Mary Cleggett has been on the sick list, but is up again of which we are all proud to see her up and at her post in the church and community once more. Rev. Grimm was the guest of Mr. Taylor out in the country last week. Rev. M. C. Lewis was the happy recipient of a goose dinner last Sunday at the home of Mrs. Rachael Woodson, one of the pioneers of Mount Olive Baptist church. Those present who helped to destroy this goose were: Mr. and Mrs. Puuliam, Mrs. Emma and little Miss Rachael Taylor. The Star-Light Missionary Band of Mt. Olive Baptist church was held at the home last Thursday night of Mrs. Mary Cleggett, the presiden t of Over-Sight. Splendid talks by Mrs. Hannah Givehand, president of the W. H. & F. M. S.; Mr. J. C. Cleggett, the young president; Mr. Henry Farrer, and Rev. Lewis, the pastor and organizer of the band. Mrs. Minnie Jones entertained at dinner last Thursday evening the pastor, Rev. Lewis, also Mrs. Hattie Bell entertained him last Wednesday for dinner. We had a splendid Sunday school last Sunday, despite the downnpour of rain and high winds. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. are arranging a big program for Easter, to raise at least $50 on the three hundred dollar rally to be pulled off very soon at Mt. Olive church. A big entertainment was given at the home of Mrs. Elizier Thomas last Saturday night by the finance committee, of which Mrs. Thomas is president and Mrs. Alice Alexander vice-president. They succeeded nicely. The receipts of the week were very good despite the rainy weather all of Saturday night and Sunday. Over $16 was realized. Mrs. M. C. Lewis, the wife of the pastor, sent a telegram to Rev. Lewis last Sunday to send for her to come and join him in his work here, which we did last Monday, with all the pleasure in the world. Mrs. Lula Shaw is up and going about after complaining a few days ago. Mrs. Campbell is on the sick list at this time; but she is some better. She was taken to the country last week by her daughter, Mrs. Brown, to spend a few days. Mr. Leroy Givehand went to the country last Friday, but is home now. Mr. Frank Thomas is certainly making a good janitor for the Mt. Olive Baptist church. The babe of Mrs. Doshea Givehand has been on the sick list for quite a while, but is improving very encouragingly. It has had Mrs. Givehand handicapped from her post of duty in the church as financial secretary. Pastor Lewis discussed on Prayer, Life and its Discovery last Sunday night. It was a fine treat. He was making the opening address for the rally planned, and what it takes to succeed. We are going to work his plans. We are going to build for him and his wife a parsonage. He is a good organizer. True and Tried section of the B. Y. P. U. gave a splendid program last Sunday evening entertaining the other sections of the union. A noble paper by Mrs. Maggie Wade, the vice-president of the union and a great talk on recitation by Mrs. Lois Thomas, subject: "The People Will Talk." It was fine indeed. We are planning all our monies for the National Baptist S. S. and B. Y. P. U. Congress in New Orleans, La. in June and for all our associational and conventions in Missouri, of which we have to and are a part. The Sunday school has all its Sunday school money in the bank, and the W. H. & F. M. S. has overpaid its obligations to the bugdet fund to the amount of $1.90, and the church lacks $18.00 paying out. The Advocate is gaining many The Advocate is gaining many friends in West Plains. It is a fine paper, and brim full of news. Here are some of the friends it has gained: For one year, six and three months: Mrs. Elizier Thomas, Mrs. Hattie Bell, Mr. Mack Alexander, Mrs. Doshea Givehand and many want it and will take it with cash in hand.

The physician was telling little Johnny's mother about a railroad accident in which a teamster had both legs crushed from the effects of which he died, the same day. Little Johnny, about six years old, stood by, greatly interested in the accident. "Thay, doctor," he broke in with his eyes wide open, "wuth the horth hurt? "I don't know," said the doctor. "I was more interested in the man, and didn't think of the horse." "Well, I don't care," Johnny said, taking the doctor's reply as an implied rebuke. "but a live horth ith better than a dead man, anyway." A Cruel Test. A Germantown bad who is possessed of even more curiosity than the average child, recently sought out his mother to acquire more information concerning affairs in his household. "Mother," he asked, "why is it that sister sings so much when her young man is here? "I think, dear," said the mother, softly, "that she is trying to test his love."—Philadelphia Ledger. The Reason. At a football game an old gentleman was watching from the grand stand, and at the end of the first half he pulled a bulky cigar case from his pocket and, turning to an enthusiast sitting beside him, asked: "Do you smoke?" The enthusiast, expecting a nice cigar, promptly replied: "Yes." "Ah! Then you don't mind my smoking?" smilingly replied the old gentleman. Cow Didn't Want It. Mother had been seeking by every possible means to stimulate her son's somewhat undeveloped sense of gratitude. "Now, Harold," said she on one occasion, "don't you think that you ought to be very grateful to the cow for the milk she gives you every morning?" "Well, mother," said Harold. "I don't know that I should. She has no use for it herself."—Harper's Magazine. Attack Premature "Why did you strike this haberdasher's clerk?" "Your honor," said the large, uncoath person. "he showed me a collar and said it was a perfect dear." "Well," shorted the judge, "what did you bit him in the store for? Couldn't you wait until after closing time and catch him in an alley.—Birmingham Age-Herald. "The Way to the Heart." A Long Island bachelor was showing a friend from New York over his estate. When they reached the sheepfold the woolly innate, catching sight of their master' came bleating to the gate. "See how these innocent creatures love me, Harry?" said the land-holder. "Love, nothing!" chortled the city man. "They come to you because they're hungry, and they think you're going to feed them." "Harry," replied the other solemnly, "when you have reached a certain age that passes for love."—American Legion Weekly.

FRED H. SIMPSON, By his attorney, E. A. SHACKELFORD. (First published March 10, 1922) PAGE THREE Plaintiff, by I. F. BRADLEY, His Attorney to see something of God in nature, but I, could not, yet he had me to promise that I would return and here I am. But about Bartow, it was a fine place and I made it across to Orlando Sunday or Monday morning to be one more time with the Rev. Dr. H. K. Hill, of the Baptist church, and this time I had to do some praying for him, for he was made a Mason that night. Dr. Hill is one more praying baby, for you could have heard him praying for miles, when they were making him a Mason. I just thought they must be killing him or the Mason goat was unruly. I enjoyed this very much. Then off for another part of the world. Now you want to know where I have been? Well, I went from Orlando to Deland, and there to visit the Providence Industrial School, which is indeed a wonder, and I am glad that I had the pleasure of going there. This is the work of one little woman, who is all energy and brains, Miss Wilhelmina Johnson, who came into this world via Augusta, Ga., and got her finishing at Spellman, Atlanta. Of course you know of Spelman Seminary, hence I must tell you about this young woman to inspire others. She taught for a while in the public schools, but she had unfaltering faith in God and wanted to place herself where He could use her, and He has. She had a larger vision, and wanted to consecrate her life to Him and to the training of the youth. In 1911 she organized, using the first floor of our Odd Fellows' hall. She secured 10 pupils at $10, each one paying one dollar a month, and out of this she paid rent for the floor in question of $3 a month, and using the balance for her own support. She had faith in God, and trusted Him. She did not go out on a begging expedition, but she went to work, devoting her time to the training of the children. Here and there a new friend would show up, until a 10-acre plot of high pine land, bordered on four sides by magnificent water oaks was purchased and a new building erected in 1912, then there was donated a kitchen by two prominent white women, Mrs. Addie McC. Gordon and Mrs. Ada C. Walker, and then followed the Doane auditorium, donated by Mrs. William H. Doane. It is constructed of brick and hollow tile with conquina rock. It has a seating capacity of 300, and there is a high basement with cement filler, in which domestic science and woodwork is taught, and you will be delighted to know that this young woman not only teaches branches herself, but she instructs the boys in woodwork. She is a wonderful woman. I am real proud of my visit there. But away from there, I made it to Titusville, Florida, spending a few hours there with the Rev. Dr. Tate, of the Baptist church, and then on to Palm Beach. I did not stop at West Palm Beach but went on over, for there are located the great hotels, and I was the guest at the Royal Roinciana, LET US CARE FOR YOUR BABY, SICK OR WELL, IN OUR NURSERY DEPARTMENT Private Confinement a Specialty THE PIONEER MATERNITY SANITARIUM 422 MINNESOTA AVENUE KANSAS CITY, KANSAS PHONE FAIRFAX 4995 DR. A. PORTER DAVIS Superintendent of my friend, Joseph McLain, the head waiter. He is one of the great men of the race, and a natural leader of men. Did you ever study the work of a head waiter? I am going to some day devote a whole letter to this and then I will not be through. I am going to get the material together now. Mr. McLain has under him during the season over three hundred people, and you may put it down that he is a busy man, and then he is responsible for the seating and care of thousands of guests. This is perhaps the largeset frame structure in the world, and they have an eating room which will seat 2,500 people at one time. and there are other eating rooms, but I am just speaking of the main one called dining room. I had the pleasure of spending the day there, and while there was before me everything that heart could wish, yet there were many things I could not eat. I was fed the same as the wealthy people over there. Then off to Maitland, to visit the Robert Hungerford Industrial school, the principal of which was Mrs. Mary C. Calhoun. It is at Eatonville about two miles from the Maitland station. I made sure that some one would be there to tote me over, but not. It was Founder's day, hence I got a young white man with a truck to tote me over. He called me uncle and charged his uncle 75 cents. They were busy playing ball when I got there, but when it was over, I met one of the most remarkable women of our race, Mrs. Katie K. V. Taylor, of DeLand, who is Orange County Public Health Nurse, and believe me there is one woman who knows her business and she is doing some things that will count and count for good. She is one of the women who is educated to her people and not away from them, and as friendly as you will find a woman. She has her own Pierce-Arrow or some other fine car and she runs it herself, and in this she knows her business. I had the pleasure of being toed in this wonderful wagon, and did not make a trip to Heaven. She is a careful driver. She visits the schools, looks after the children and others who need the attention of a nurse, and they own a real fine drug store in Orlando, and her husband is one of the leaders in thought. It is great to meet these two interesting people. I think I will have to bring this letter to a stop, for I have covered the space I am to use this week. I wish you would send all mail for me now to Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. I will do some riding before I get there, but look out for my letter from that point. The Executive Board of the National Baptist convention will meet there, and there will be some other things taking place in the town. Come along. I am informed that the National Negro Press Association will meet at this place. Come along. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Mr. W. L. King was in Sunday on his run from Wichita and attended his church at Eighth street and Nebraska avenue. Mr. King is running over the Santa Fe, his headquarters being at Wichita at this time. Presence of a Canary or Goldfish in the Sickroom Invariably Has Beneficial Effect. Next time you sit in a room, the furnishings of which include a bowl of goldfish, consider how much time you spend watching the small fish as they swim slowly about or dart about in pursuit of each other. Probably you will conclude you were indulging the usual tendency of the normal person to be attracted to moving objects. In sick persons and convalescents this tendency is more pronounced, and in the aged and very young it is still more so. That psychology of this attraction was given by Dr. Edward N. Leavy, formerly veterinarian to the animals in Central park zoo. He is now connected with a Fifth avenue pet store. "Sick persons lying in bed spend a great deal of time watching the goldfish if an aquarium is in their room," he said. "It takes their minds off their pains and aches and is very beneficial." Cattaries share with goldfish the honor of being the chief animate entertainment to the sick.—New York Sun. GQOD IDEA IF IT WORKED Small Boy's Shrewd Schema to Refresh His Memory Was Dependent on Certain Contingencies. The boy entered the hardware store almost out of breath and as he stood looking round in a puzzled way the shopman asked him what he wanted. "I don't know," replied the boy, as he scratched his head. "Well, then, I can't serve you," said the shopman. "You see," explained the boy, "when I was coming along I saw a dog fight and I got so excited that I can't remember whether my father sent me for a foot rule or mother wanted a packet of tintacks." "Then you will have to go back-home and ask them," advised the shopman "No, I'll not do that. I'll go out and see if I can find another dog fight, and perhaps, if I can find one, and get excited over it. I'll remember exactly what I wanted. You might have a foot rule and a packet of tacks on the counter handy so that as soon as I remember I can rush in and snatch up the right article. Father or mother will be getting very impatient." WAS WILLING TO HELP OUT Generous Offer of Financially Embarrassed Man to Almost Desperate Ticket Seller. Cecil de Mille, the movie producer, said in an after-dinner speech at Coronado Beach: "The movies have dawned the old-fashioned theater almost completely. It used to be that you could fill a theater if you distributed complimentary tickets enough; but nowadays—" M. De Mille laughed heartily. "A new play was put on the other night at Atlantic City. "Just before the curtain went up a chap strung into the theater lobby, awoke the box office man and said: "This is the first night of a new play, aln't it?" "Yes, sir.' And the box office man leaned forward eagerly, hoping to sell a ticket. "Well, say,' croaked the chap, 'I'm broke, boss; so I'm willin' to go in and be one of the audience for half a dollar." Smack That Child. A mother was reproving her little six-year-old girl for being naughty. "If you are so tiresome and disagreeable," she said, "you will not be loved, and when you grow up your friends will be few." The child replied at once: "I shall not want any friends, for I shall get married." "Oh, no," replied mother, "you will not get married, if you are disagreeable, for gentlemen are particular." After a short pause, the little girl remarked: "Well, mummy, I don't think daddy was particular." Lived in Different Worlds. Marks—"So they separated on account of incompatibility." Parks—"Yes, he talked golf and she talked bridge." Very True. Hughes—"What an odious animal Jones is!" (Carson—"Oh, the one who butts in is apt to be a goat." Correctly Answered. "A fool can ask more questions than a wise man can answer. Isn't that so?" "I cannot answer you." The Awakening. "I understand the Laplanders eat candle." "Must be a big to-do over a birthday cake." After Five Years of H. C. L. North—I used to be poor, but proud. West—Yes? North—I am no longer proud North—I am no longer proud. Appropriate. "This old grouch can't find anything to suit him." "Show him the crab apples," directed the grocer. MARK OF HER APPRECIATION Business Man Must Have Seen Deeply Touched by Gratitude Shown by Female Client. "I am going South for the winter. Before leaving I want to thank you so much for making $90,000 in profits on bonds for me this year," said a wealthy lady client of a bond house to the senior partner. She went on effusively: "Furthermore, I want to show my appreciation by giving you a present." "That is not at all necessary, Mrs. You can thank the bond market for your profits," said the broker. "That may be, but it was your advice and work that produced the profits and I must be permitted to show my appreciation," she replied. The bond man decided to let it go at that and bowed her out of his office. A parcel was on his desk when he reached the office next day. It contained a rather Jurid necktie together with the lady's card.—Walt Street Journal. HIS TURN TO ASK QUESTIONS Proving That Sometimes the Wheel of Fortune Actually Does Make the Required Turn. He was one of our prominent manufacturers. The other day the policeman stopped him for exceeding the speed limit. "What's your name?" asked the policeman. He told him. "How do you snuff it?" "What are their names and ages?" "Why," yelled the manufacturer, "what's the sense of asking me a lot of silly questions like that?" "Well," smiled the policeman, "I applied at your factory once for a job, and the chap in the office asked me all those questions and a lot more. I thought they were foolish, too." GLAD THAT BOTH HAD GONE Honest Criticism Probably Would Have Pained the Soul of Statesman Whose Hobby is Painting. Sir Auckland Geddes, the British ambassador, said the other day at an art exhibition: "Winston Churchill paints, you know. He writes, as well, but painting is his latest hobby. "He's a good painter, too, though his friends joke him a great deal about it. He stayed not long ago at Dunrobin castle with the duke and duchess of Sutherland, and after he was gone the duchess said: "Mr. Churchill is so original. He spent all his time white here painting one of the castle towers. He is gone now. I am so glad he took his picture with him." Something to Be Thankful For. Helen, age seven, sat in the rear seat of father's automobile while he went shopping in a department store. Father had not noticed that he had parked his machine where there was supposed to be "no parking." It all happened before the change in administration. So, when he returned to his automobile, Helen was busily engaged in scratching a sticker off the windshield. "Daddy, that old naughty policemen stuck that paper there," she confided. Daddy was glad that he arrived before it was all scratched away. The Unterriffed. A newspaper reporter had been regaled with a sensational story from a rural subscriber and was trying to seek verification. "Is the fellow that told me this regarded as a truthful man?" he asked. "Waal," replied the next-door neighbor and host friend of the man in question, "I ain't sayin' he ain't altogether truthful, but I kin any that what happened t' Ananias an' Sapphiry ain't never affected him a bit." —American Legion Weekly. Chance The supposedly impossible happens again. Arthur Lucy swallows his false teeth, is rushed in a police ambulance to a hospital at Brockton, Mass. Doctors sharpen their knives and crowd around. Arthur's teeth are back in his mouth. He will recorer. The same day word comes from Quebec province of a man who choked to death on a popcorn kernel. Life is uncertain. The unexpected often lies around the corner. But Have Patience! Said the newly arrived missionary to King Oola J. Boola of the Cannibal isles: "I have come among you as a missionary, ready to serve." Sald King Oola, who was accounted something of a 'wag,' as he surveyed the lanky figure: "No, you're not ready to serve—not yet."—American Legion Weekly. Public Health.
