These things happen now and then and especially in Wyandotte county. A few surprises sprung out of through with the large plurality of Tuesday's election from a party view. These things happen now and then and especially in Wyandotte county. It looked until late Wednesday morning that more than half of the Republican nominees on the county ballot, would have to say good-bye, Mr. Gump. Grant Gates, who has been Register of Deeds for six years, was one of the first Republican candidates for re-election to show a decided weakening, when the first returns came in and in the final count, lost to C. B. (Bud) Cole, Democrat, 4017. Next party candidate to drop below the winning mark was Earle R. Gilbert, for re-election to the office of Public Administrator, N. J. Woolard, Democrat, leading in the final count by the small margin of 13 votes. Others who have in other years, whose majority run up into the thousands, were at the mercy seat, until the last precinct was counted. The Sheriff 2364 votes over Mr. Lillich, his nearest opponent. Attorney Justus N. Baird for County Attorney; J. M. Joslin, for County Assessor, and Miss Olive Thompson for Superintendent of Public Instruction, were the big vote getters on the County Republican ticket, Miss Thompson leading her opponent, Mrs. Price, Democrat, by 6,124 votes. Others elected were: John T. Sims, Probate Judge; Wm. Beggs, County Clerk; Geo. Griffith, County Treasurer; R. J. McFarland, Clerk of the District Court, Roy D. Angle, Clerk of City Court; Charley Langford, Marshal of City Court. Congressman Edward C. Little, carried the county by a splendid majority and this Congressional District, which is composed of nine counties, between seven and eight thousand votes, running ahead of every State candidate on the ticket. His appoin precinct was counted. The Sheriff race was the one which attracted more attention than other office. Daniel (Bob) Maher, Republican, T. A. Fylnn, Democrat, and Harry Lillich, Independent, the later being defeated in the August primary on the Republican ticket. Mr. Maher coming THE JUNIOR MISSIONARY GIVES A SURPRISE. The Junior-Mite Missionary Society of the First A. M. E. Church, surprised Mrs. Pauline Woodfork, their Superintendent, Saturday, November 4th, at her home, with a birthday party, Sunday, November 8th, being her birthday. The Missionary girls met at the home of Thelma Miller, 920 Walker avenue at 1 o'clock and by 2 p. m. they were on their way to Mrs. Woodfork's home, each child carrying a token of remembrance. On arriving they found Mrs. Woodfork dressing, getting ready to attend the meeting she thought was to be held at Thelma Millers. After the guests had been seated one of the invited guests, Mrs. M. J. Payne, presented to Mrs. Woodfork a beautiful bouquet of flowers, after which Mrs. O. M. Blount presented the many gifts. After remarks of appreciation by the Superintendent, with the assistance of Mesdames Nettid Clark, Patsy Justuce, and Mary J. Payne she at once entered into the election of officers, which were elected as follows: Dorothy Foster, President; Bernice Wilson, First Vice-President; Helen Riley, Second Vice-President; Edith McLarain, Secretary; Elizabeth Simpson, Assistant Secretary; Thelma Miller, Treasurer. The speaker of the evening was then introduced, Mrs. Merritt. Her talk was very inspiring and helpful. Ice ceram and cake in abundance was served. The shades lowered and Mrs. Woodfork lighted the candles on a lovely birthday cake as the shades were raised slowly the candles were blown out and the song, "God be With You 'Till We Mee' Again," was beautifully sung. Each person departed feeling that the afternoon had been well spent. Invited guests were: Mesdames, Rebecca Nash, Patsy Justuce, Mary J. Payne, Isabella Hall, Mrs. Barksdale. YATES BRANCH, Y. W. C.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES. After hearing the great Dr. H. Bronson last Sunday, who speaks so correctly and uses such perfect English, we were blessed this Sunday to hear Dr. Rogers, Dean of the College in Kansas City, Missouri. He is intelligent also; and said before the sermon, that he likes the people of our church fine, and would have liked to have been our pastor. Also said "There was no use for anyone to say they did not want Metropolitan, and if they said so, they told untruths." The choir sang "Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone?" beautifully, and after the organ voluntary., Matt. 16:13 was read. Dr. Rogers' text was, "Who is Jesus?" He made his sermon very plain and many responded. At 8 p. m., he preached on "The Unconquerable Church." In part he said: "It is the only institution that gives real light to the world." The choir sang well, and especially the spirituelle, "Everytime I feel the Spirit, I will pray." Rev. Battles, also assisted nicely in the services and Mrs. Boyd of Kansas City, Mo., made remarks. Last Sunday the ordinary collection was over $252. This Sunday it was around the $100 mark. The Bible School B. Y. P. U., are all doing well. The Mission is prospering. At the church meeting last Friday night, Dr. H. B. Bronson of Helena, Ark., was called by a unanimous vote. Dr. McNeal acted as Moderator. Hundreds were present. The church also presented Rev. A.

Church, at the morning service. ADVOCATE J. O. IN THE HANDS OF FRIENDS GETS HIS FAVORITE DRINK, BUTTERMILK SPEAKS TO SUNDAY SCHOOL Galveston, Tex.—When I took my pen in hand to write to you the last time I was yonder in Yoakum, Texas, getting around with some friends and witnessing some conferences being presided over by Bishop William Decker Johnson, D. D., of Plains, Ga. I did not tell you so much about it, and now I am going to tell you much more about it this week, for I have been on the go, and I am still going, and it doth not yet appear just where I am going to stop this going business. I remained in Yoakum until the end of time, or until the close of the conference and then I got myself together and left for another part of the world. I got in one of them automobile car carriages, but it was pulled by a horse this time and not one of them without a horse. Well, he landed me at the stable and I left the city at 4 o'clock in the morning headed for Sealy, Texas, where I had been invited to spend the Sunday. I reached the city Sunday morning at 10:30, and went direct to the Baptist church where the Sunday school was in succession. The children at the Methodist Sunday school saw me, and believe me when I tell you they all followed me to the Baptist church and remained with me during the day. No one met me at the stable, but as I was going down the street I met W. M. Blackman, the merchant of the town and a business man from his heart. A Baptist preacher came along in a Ford, and Mr. Blackmen told him to tote me on to the church, and he obeyed orders. At Sunday school, Deacon Brown announced that I would speak to them at 3:30 o'clock and urged all to be present and bring others with them. They obeyed, and the church was filled. But when Sunday school closed Deacon Brown invited me to go home with him for dinner, and the invitation was accepted. His wife is just one good woman, and she joined him in the invitation. Soon after we reached the house I saw a headless chicken jumping around trying to locate his head, but his head had departed from the body in order that the body be consigned to my eternity. Into it, of course so. It was announced that dinner was ready, and believe me honey I stepped on that chicken, sweet potatoes and buttermilk. Then to church to do that talking. Deacon Brown is what I call a real man, and he is active in church work, and his wife is indeed a refined cultured woman, and, like her husband, they are devoted to the church work there. I am proud of them. I remained over night, speaking at-night to a crowded house, and left Monday morning for Houston, where I spent another day, the guest of Dr. T. V. Overton, and his wife. Dr. Overton looked after me during my stay there. I went out at night to hear Bishop W. Sampson Brooks at Wesley Chapel, A. M. E. Church. He tells the story of Africa as I have never heard it told. He did not come back with a few words here or there in the native tongue, but he tells in straight English that you may know what he is talking about, and when he is through the people respond with their cash. The cry of their heart "is to know," and they are being told by this remarkable man. Another friend gone, and just one more to greet me when I shall cross over myself. Milton H. Griffin, a brilliant young man, just in the youth of life so to speak, has left us. I called at his home as usual on Dowling street, but found that there was only his widow, for he had returned to the God who gave him. Mrs. Edna Griffin took advantage of her youth by getting an education. She is a SHORTER HALL AND B.F. LEE HALL BEING ERECTED ve., Saturday, Geo. McCl A GREAT YEAR AT WIL SHORTER HALL AND H EREC Wilberforce, O., Nov. 9.—Wilberforce University opened her doors this year to an unusually large number of students, and that, too, in spite of the fact that her accommodations were greatly reduced by the burning of Shorter Hall. President Gregg reports that the registrar's office rejected many applications for entrance, knowing there would be a lack of space, but notwithstanding this, students poured in from every section, so that the authorities had to call upon the Community for aid in caring for them temporarily until the B. F. Lee Hall can be completed. The reporter learned, by the way, that B. F. Lee Hall, of which the authorities are saying but little, is being erected along with the other forward work of the school, and when completed, will be modern in every particular, both commodious and comfortable, and will house about 250 boys. The naming of the Hall is a fitting tribute to that saintly man, Bishop B. F. Lee, a former president and now the senior Bishop of his church. Perhaps so little is being said about the new dormitory just mentioned because of the larger and more imposing structure that is being erected on the site of old Shorter Hall. It is really an inspiring sight to see the new James A. Shorter Hall taking form as the walls are rapidly going up. The brick layers and steel workers have completed their work thru the third story of the main structure and are pushing forward with the work of the auditorium. The building will be four stories high. The weather has been ideal for the work, and it is hoped that the whole building will be enclosed before winter comes. A. BIG DAY AT THE FORCE. Bishop J. H. Jones and the gallant men of the Third Episcopal District, have put forth Herculean efforts in supplying the "sinews of war" for the advancement of the work. Bishops Heard, Conner and Coppin have sent in goodly sums already, from their districts, and are expecting to send in larger sums at an earlier date. About One Hundred Thousand Dollars have been raised already and paid on the new structure. The plan has been a "pay-as-you-go" one, and up to the present, all the vast amount A. J. HILL, GROCER. The A. J. Hill grocery, 1059 Freeman avenue, is being continued since Mr. Hill died, by his widow, Mrs. Hill, and is doing the best she can to keep it going. Mrs. Hill is asking her friends and others who have not been customers of this store to be one of one hundred to order one dollar's worth of groceries. We deliver any place. Will greatly appreciate your order. Phone Fairfax 0433. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Chiles, 1244 Ann avenue, have the sympathy of their many friends in the death of Mr. Chiles' mother, who died at Douglass hospital. The remains were entered at Newton, Kansas. Mr. Chiles' father died about eight months ago at Wichita. Dr. J. Franklin Wilson is confined to his home on North Tenth street with illness. His friends hope he will soon be able to get out. WESTERN UNIVERSITY WINS OVER TOPEKA INSTITUTE. Topeka Institute football team of Topeka of some 18 men, and they were men, and a big bunch of rooters, were the friendly guests of Western University last Friday. After their guests had been refreshed with a bountiful repast, they, in special street cars, with the entire student body and faculty journeyed to Tramway Park, 31st and Indiana Avenues, where friendship separated for a time November 11 Celland, Pres. BERFORCE UNIVERSITY B. F. LEE HALL BEING TED of material on the ground and the labor have been paid for. Seeing these mighty efforts, surely a g enerous public is coming to the aid of this historic institution and help in this great work. A pilgrimage to Wilberforce was planned for October 20. Invitations were sent out to the churches of the Third District and delegates came in large numbers. The Ohio Conference, which was in session at Springfield, closed for the day and came in a body. A big mass meeting was held in Galloway Hall. President Gregg presented Bishop Jones, who as Master of Ceremonies, set forth the object of the meeting. The male quartette rendered a number, solos were sung by Messrs. Berry and Myers and Rev. Arnold, and a wonderful address was delivered by Dr. H. P. Jones, pastor of Euclid Avenue A. M. E. Church of Pittsburgh, Pa. The delegates then made a visit to the new building where they were delighted with the progress made, and like the Israelites of old, were filled with a "mind to work." The visitors were guests of the University at dinner in Emery Hall dining room, and on every hand were heard the words: "The Pilgrimage must be made an annual event." Bishop Jones was delighted with the enthusiasm evinced by all and promised that the building would be ready for dedication at the next commencement. Many new features characterize the work at Wilberforce this year. The College Department has established the Four Quarter System, the Academic work has been standardized, and the Industries have been strengthened by the addition of new teachers and more equipment. President Gregg's efforts to re-establish the R. O. T. C. work have been successful and Major John E. Green and Sergeants Andrews and Button are whipping the recruits into shape. Nearly forty thousand dollars worth of accoutrements have been received, including a 28-piece band costing $2,500. Ten new teachers have been added to the staff, and the work goes on well. The University will celebrate its sixtieth anniversary next June, at which time President Gregg promises the greatest commencement in the history of Wilberforce University. The battle started at 3:20 and the way 22 men fought up and down, between those chalk lines for an hour and a half, one would have thought they were two teams of Senegalese. While the visitors were much to the good in weight, the Western University boys overcome it with greater science of the game and stepped across their goal twice, once in the first quarter and once in the last and 4th quarter, but failing to kick goal either time, the score stood 12-0. This game made the 12th game in that many years played between these two schools, with Topeka winning two and W. U. 10. While W. U. was victorious it was no easy task for them by any means and it was no ones game up to the last quarter. Western was more successful in their forward passes and gained a number times on these plays. Topeka has a fine set of students and their deportment away from home is of a high order.

CHURCH NEWS A very large audience assembled at the morning service, to the church of their choice, to hear the word of God. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, filled his pulpit and feeling stronger physically, delivered his first sermon, in the series, which he is to preach this month. His subject was, "Is Christ a Necessity?" It was a deep subject and one out of the ordinary, but the speaker, in his gospel argument, was equal to the occasion, in such convincing words some could hardly wait until the minister asked for the reception of members. A number joined the church. Next Sunday's subject will be "What Can Christ Do For Us?" There will be three more sermons, including Sunday, in the series, which probably are four of the best and most interesting sermons ever delivered by this eminent divine. If you want to be helped and have a clearer vision of one who lived here on earth among men—The Christ—come out and hear these series of sermons. Tell your friends and neighbors about them. The Senior choir was out in full force with many new members, who added much to the splendid service, that this musical christian organization is now rendering to the church and their God. The Junior choir, is also being built up, with new members, whose sweet voices adding much to the evening service. The revision of the church roll, is being gone over every Monday night as rapidly as possible and those who cannot be found or are not giving service to their own good and the church, are being dropped by the leaders. The love feast and class meeting was largely attended last Friday night and a great spiritual feast was enjoyed. Visitors and strangers always have a welcome at First Church.

The Scrap Book COULDN'T SEE JOKE AT ALL Mr. Brown Quite Willing to Admit That He Acted in a Rather Hasty Manner. "What's the matter?" Inquired Brown's friend. "You're looking pretty blue. Yes growled Brown. "I was coming along the High street to-night when, without a moment's warn- ing, something smashed into ... back and bowled me over. When growled Brown. "I was coming along the High street to-night when, without a moment's warning, something smashed into ... back and bowled me over. When I gathered myself together, I found that a boy and a bicycle were mixed up on the pavement. I just took hold of the youngster and gave him a swift entry into the road. The bicycle I finished off so that it will never run again." "Well, that ought to have relieved your feelings," interrupted his friend, "In the ordinary course it might have done," said Brown; "but I found that it was my boy and my bicycle!" CURIOUS FOCUSING OF SOUNDS But the Explanation of Existence of "Whispering Galleries" is in the Main Simple. The curious focusing of sounds in whispering galleries, such as the domes of St. Paul's cathedral and the capitol at Washington, is a phenomenon of much interest and impressiveness. The late Lord Rayleigh obtained evidence that the sound waves followed the concave surface to the point of increased audibility, and when a source of directed sound sent off its waves tangentially, the greatest concentration was observed. A bird-call being used, a small obstacle near the curved wall cut off most of the effect upon a sensitive fame. In new experiments reported to the Royal society by G. V. Roman and G. A. Sutherland, a ray of light was guided by a flexible mirror, and the reflection showed alternate bands of light and darkness. In observations with a steady source of sound at one point in the dome of St. Paul's, it was found that similar alternations of sound and comparative silence were produced at intervals of about a wave length of the sound as the ear was moved away. Very pronounced fluctuations of intensity were also noted when the observer's head was moved parallel to the curved wall, instead of radially, the effect being most marked at the side of the gallery opposite the source of sound. The sensitive flame responded to fluctuations. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Kansas City, Kansas. Rev. W. A. Bowren, D. D., Pastor Sunday school, 9:30 a. m.; preaching, 11 a. m., and 8 p. m. B. Y. P.

Inglis, the well-known coal operator, told a railroad story at a railroad men's banquet in Scranton. "There used to be a little line," he said, "a branch. line about 12 miles long, that was notorious for its bumps, general discomfort and dirt. "A train on this line pulled into town one morning, late half an hour, as usual, and a man said' as he rose and brushed himself off: "Well, thank goodness, the worst part of my journey is over.' "Goin' far?' said another man. "Goin' far? said another man. "Hong Kong, China,' said the first chap." Ungalliant. The car was crowded, for it was the time of day when working men were returning home from their work. Among the straphangers was a woman who, not being pleased with the service she was recelying, was trying in a roundabout way to induce a certain man to give up his seat.

Whance the "Kee-Wee" During the late war officers in the army air service were classified as flying officers or ground officers, the latter being used for administrative work and for all other duties not actually requiring flight. Much jealousy existed at some fields between the flyers and the non-flyers. It was a naturalist among the flyers who aptly expressed for his fellows a title fitting their mortal enemies. He dubbed the ground officers as "Kee-Wees." The name spread, yet few know the reason for the title. It was while looking up the word "aptitude" in the dictionary that an air service officer stumbled on the right dope: "Apterx"—A bird native of New Zealand without wings or tail. Cannot fly; called by natives, "Kee-wee."—Alre News. Is She? A young Southerner, very pretty and charming, is teaching in Hibbling, Minn. She had carefully explained to her youngsters the use of the interrogation point. "For tomorrow," she told them, "I want each of you to bring in a question. Don't bring something ordinary, but find something interesting." Tomorrow and its questions came. Some of them were good and others were impossible. One small fellow, a youngster with rosy cheeks and sparkly eyes, waved his hand wildly. The teacher called on him. He stood erect, to the very height of his tiny stature, and read: "is any girl safe?" The Spoon. The first spoon was the palm of the hand. Afterward people used shells they got at the seashore. Then they thought of fitting handles on shells. Though spoons were used ages ago in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, it was a long time before they were used in the west of Europe. So late as the Fifteenth century the highest form of the spoon was the shell with the handle. But by the time Louis XV reigned in France the modern daintrily decorated spoon was used.

Some musicians go upon the stage, while others never get further than the orchestra. A man can bear a world's contempt when he has that within which says he's worthy. The way a girl makes a man think she is clever is by acting as if she thinks he is. If you would gain knowledge by traveling, study the country and the people as you go. The talent for conversation, more than anything else in life, requires tact and discretion. It is always a pleasant visit to the man who succeeds in talking for an hour about himself. If a little knowledge is dangerous, where is the man who has so much as to be out of danger? Hope is like the sun. As we journey toward it, lo! it casts the shadow of our burden behind us. Everyone learns from his own experience—the wise learn also from the experience of others. The girl who jilts a man never forgives him if he goes away and marries a handsomer girl. Beyond all doubt, the worst of our enemies are those which we carry about in our own hearts. There are many splinters on the ladder of life which nobody notices until he begins to slide down.

On one occasion, during a visit to one of them, she evinced great interest in an elderly man whom she saw strolling about the grounds. "How long have you been here?" she asked him. "Twelve years," came the reply. After a few more questions as to his treatment there, she passed on. Turning to ask a question of her guide, she noticed a smile on his face, and on asking him the reason she was informed that the man she had questioned was no less a person than the medical superintendent. At once she rushed back to apologize. "I am so sorry, doctor," she said; "this has taught me a lesson—never to judge by appearances again." BIBLES FOR ALL THE WORLD Society Reports the Greatest Year in Its History in the Volumes It Has Issued. The biggest year of Bible circulation since the high levels of the war period, is reported by the American Bible society in the annual report just issued. This report says: "The total number of volumes circulated during the year was 4,855,464, which is more than a million in excess of the distribution of the preceding year. The largest increase is shown in China, where 2,362,730 were circulated. From Japan, the Near East and all of Latin America, there has come an increased demand so great that the society has been unable to meet it. "The revised Spanish New Testament has been completed and will be ready for distribution during the coming year. Translation work has gone forward also in Luragoll for missions in British East Africa; in Quechua for the Bolivian Indians; in Zulu for the black people of South Africa; in K'pelle for use in Liberia. In China large parts of the scriptures have been issued in the new phonetic script, which is a simplified written form indorsed and promoted by the government." Squirrel's Surgery Effective. Some New Brunswick schoolboys trapped a squirrel some time ago. Its skin and the flesh of its legs were cut through to the bone by the trap. The little animal was put into a cage and given some balsam boughs to play with. A schoolteacher happened to pass by the squirrel's cage. She stopped to look at it and observed it pick some balsam from the boughs and apply to its sore foot. The teacher was interested in the little prisoner and stopped to see it every day, and the squirrel treated its foot in the same manner. When the hurt was completely cured the boys gave it its liberty and it scampered off as quickly as though it had never been injured.—New York Times New York Times. IT DOES.

Betty, who is four, had been scolded by auntie for some misdemeanor, and her feelings were badly hurt. She kept referring to the matter and saying to aunty: "All right for you. I don't care about you any more." Finally aunty retorted: "Well, all right for you, then. If you don't care about me any more I won't need to get you that ice cream cone I intended to buy you." Betty looked abashed for a moment. She did not wish to unbend so far as to accept a bribe, but she disliked to lose that ice cream cone. Then her face brightened with a happy thought.

Forty thousand earthquakes take place in the world every year. That is, approximately the number which scientific instruments discern, though they are not all definitely located, and only about 4,000 affect human beings. They vary from mere tremors to terrible disasters. Even now we have not got a full report of the earthquake which took place in China at the end of last year. It occurred in a region where many of the population live in caves, and the people were buried alive under the collapsing hills. We are told that the hills literally flew down into the valleys. Many unfortunates were sleeping on mud ovens, which collapsed, dropping them into the fire. Of the precise cause of earthquake we are still ignorant, and though something is gained by special building construction in threatened regions, nothing can really be done to guard against the danger. AT PRESENT RATE OF GROWTH Youngster Could See His Once Small Piggle Develop Into the Stature of an Elephant. While in the country last year a little city boy saw his first baby pig, and it made a great impression on him. So great was the impression, in fact, that the youngster made the pig the first object of his concern when the family again visited the country place this fall. "Where is my little piggle?" he immediately inquired. "Come with me, and I will show you," his country cousin replied. When the city boy reached the pen with his companion and saw what looked to be about 800 pounds of pork "on the hoof," he was dumfounded. "And did that little piggle grow as much as that in one year?" "Yea." In open-eyed wonder the boy exclaimed: "Gee! I betcha when I come back next summer he'll have a trunk."—Youngstown Telegram. Sundava Sundays are lovely on the farm in the spring and summer. We don't get up till after 7 o'clock, and I get a leisurely kind of breakfast while Bill goes out to milk and feed. And after breakfast I get the baby and hold her in my arms and we go to the fence to watch and Bill lets the horses out to go to the big pasture for the day. Such a time—the they come trooping out of the big barn—nine of them, including old Tom, and they careen around the barnyard—heels in air, and manes flying—and then they are away down the lane, racing like wild horses, neck and neck, with Pansy, the big five-year-old buckskin. always in the lead, and Whitefoot thundering beside her, while, at the end of the cavalcade comes old Kate lumbering along.

It was supper time, the house was lighted and the family was seated around the table for the evening meal. The meat platter was passed around, the mother helping the younger children. Due to miscalculation, the supply on the platter was not as great as usual and as a result the slices were smaller. Little Agnes, six years old and hungrier than usual, noticed this and whimpered, "Mom, I can't see my meat." Medicine Hat Gasoline Rain A well that spouts gasoline from the earth like a cloud of steam was recently struck in the Many Island district in Canada. 25 miles northeast of Medicine Hat. Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering describes the rush which followed the discovery in which people stood all night before the Dominion land office to be the first to file leases in the morning. The well is a natural gas drilling and the gasoline with which the gas is "wet" is not of commercial significance, as it is only a temporary condition. However, it is said that several owners of "filfvers" were quick to seize the opportunity to lay in a few weeks' supply of gas by holding out their hats. From an industrial standpoint, the recent development in the natural gas and oil fields in Canada are of grent importance. F.M. A HOLD-UP Willie—I say, auntle, give us a quarter or I'll let it loose. New Theater and Old Dramatist. Mr. Macgowan seriously believes that the new stagecraft releases the spirit of the playwright; it seems to me that the old playwright has released the spirit of the new stage artist. The revolving stage made possible "On Trial"; but the desplosed old theater was sufficient for "Seven Keys to Baldpate"; and Dante, Shakespeare, and Tolstoy are the sources of our finest stage productions so far.

He is on his road to the episcopacy, and it is hoped that 1924 will land him. There are many in this state who have been stung by the bishop bee, but just what the result will be I am not prepared to say. Rev. S. D. Butler of Austin, is another strong man, and he is pushing his campaign now. He is a great mixer, and there is Rev. H. A. Carr, another great character, and Dr. D. W. Miller, the campaigner and money raiser. He is also a scholar and preacher; Rev. P. C. Hunt, Rev. R. S. Jenkins, and there are still others. Dr. Jenkins was one of the secretaries at the last general conference and he is now slated for chief. Now then comes the secretaryship of the Church Extension Society—all of Texas will go there asking that Dr. S. J. Johnson be returned to that, or sent to that position, because he is a well prepared and well trained man. They are thanking the church for giving them the missionary secretaryship in 1912, held by Dr. J. W. Rankin, who holds it now, but his health has failed, and they do not hope to furnish another man to that place, but hope to get the Church Extension and I believe they will get that. But this is not a church letter, yet here and there these things will come before me, because the readers want to know. Don't forget Rev. J. C. Caldwell, another wonderful character. In Houston I spent the night there, and left Tuesday morning for this place. I am sure you know I am praying in Galveston, for I remember them storms they have down here, and that storm of 1900. You ask the Lord to take care of me while I am down here in this low land of sorrow, where many human bodies have been consigned to the gulf to feed the fish. I am here with Bishop W. D. Johnson attending the Texas African Methodist conference. I came down here on the Santa Fe, and when I stepped off that wagon, the Rev. R. C. Barbour, pastor of the Macedonia Baptist Church, who knew I was coming to town, was right there to meet and greet me. He shook my lily black hand, and called a red cap to tote my things out to the wagon or to his automobile car carriage. He has a good one, believe me honey. I was to be his guest during my stay, and he had secured fine quarters for me at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jones. I have been living off of oysters and fish all of this week. I have told you that Rev. R. C. Barbour is the son of his father, Rev. A. Barbour, and the world knew A. Barbour when he lived, and every one who ever attended the National Baptist convention knew him. He has given to the world three sons and they are preachers. Rev. J. Pius Barbour, the senior, is pastor of a large church in Montgomery, Ala., the next son, when his father died, was called right here, and that is the one I am talking about. It was indeed a high compliment to his ability to be called to pastor such a large church right out of school. Well the people knew him. He was born here, he attended school here, he played marbles here—his boyhood days were spent here with them, and he got down to study here, going off to college completing his curse, and at the age of 26 he is pastor of one of the largest churches in Texas. This is an inspiration to the young men to take time and prepare. It is a rare thing that sons succeed fathers. Henry Allen Boyd of Nashville has succeeded his father as secretary of the Publishing Board, and all eyes are now turned on him. "Can he do it?" is the question. In Nashville, Dr. A. M. Townsend, of the Sunday School Publishing Board of the National Baptist Convention is doing a great big work with the Baptists behind them. He is a scholar and a worker. He will soon have as his back that financier and scholar Dr. L. K. Williams, and things are going to happen and business will pick up. I will bring this letter to a stop. If you want to write to me, send letter to General Delivery, Pine Bluff, Ark. J. O. MIDNIGHT. His Answer. Crossing the street the Woman dodged the motor cars, taxis and wagons. She was almost safely on the other side when a very young boy on a bicycle almost steered into her. The Woman turned around. "Why don't you blow your horn instead of almost knocking a lady down?" she called out crossly. The boy grinned. "Lady," he yelled, "you can't blow what you ain't got!"—Chicago Journal. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE I walked one night in the Shepherd's Field; The stars in their wonted courses wheeled. And no new glory the skies revealed— There was no peace on earth. But as I climbed the Bethlehem hill I saw one bend o'er one who was ill And another bearing coal to fill A neighbor's scanty hearth, And I knew that Christ was there. I walked up the mount a little space, And peered through the shadows for, His face. But found Him not in the pictured place Beneath the olive trees; Then turning toward Kidron in the night I saw the man on their way to fight In Jordan's hall for a thing called Right, No doubt he had done it. Then I walked alone in Galilee, Where He fed the thousands by the sea And taught and wrought in His ministry Of human brotherhood. There, did a presence my way attend, There did I hear the voice of a friend, Say, "Lo, I am with you to the end." And my heart understood—/ I knew that the Christ was there. —John Finley in the Indianapolis Star. VENUS WELL WORTH STUDY Constellation, at Least to the Eye of the Astronomer, is a Beautiful Sight. The study of Venus is a branch of astronomy in itself. We are in the habit of thinking of astronomers as men who sit up all night in a dark observatory peering through great telescopes into the dim fastnesses of space. A student of Venus watches by day. At night his object is so brilliant that his eye would be dazzled by her radiance, exactly as it would be by an arc lamp. But in daylight the light of the sky drowns out some of Venus' gleamings. When the sky is clear, color values on her surface can be seen as sharply as they can on other planets at night. Venus is a beautiful sight by day. She has phases and looks like a little moon. Her normal color is yellowish white, but dusky areas of a blue tint can frequently be found on her, as well as gleaming creamy areas and white spots on either pole. It is easy to make a drawing of Venus, but until recently photographing her was impossible. She is at her THE UNITED STATES ON THE SAME SCALE AS CLEAR AS THE AIR EVER GETS ON VENUS STORM CLEAR DAYIDE THIS STORM AREAS AS BIG AS THE STATEMENT AREAS LOCAL CLOUDS STORMS CLOUDS CLOSED IN THE WEEK CLEAR MOUNTAINS STORM STORM CLEAR AIR REVEALS A NEW HEATH THE CLOUDS STORM CLEAR WEATHER What the Photograph Reveals. best when high in the noonday sky. If you have ever taken photographs you know what the effect will be to point your camera at the sun. The plate is instantly fogged. It was long supposed that we would never be able to take pictures of Venus because she is always so near the sun. Many observers tried it and failed. The honor of finding a means whereby it could bet accomplished falls to an American astronomer, Alfred Rordame, who has devoted 20 years to the study. Rordame perfected a screen of glass that was opaque to the blue rays from the sky but transparent to the light from Venus herself. One of his photographs, taken in full sunshine against a bright sky, is reproduced here. It is a remarkable achievement in photography as well as astronomy. May Be New Gold Discovery. An old gold miner who has just come from the gold claims on the Red Deer river, about 30 miles from Red Deer, says that there are now about a thousand claims staked along the river and there is much talk of big developments. Several samples of gravel have been tested out, and fairly good showings obtained, which are considered sufficient to warrant further development, although it is generally felt that the gravel will be more likely to pay through its platinum content, than through the gold recovered from the assays. The gold so far recovered is light in quantity, and assays are being sent to Philadelphia, New Jersey and Spokane for testing.—Montreal Family Herald. Wanted Proof. Aunt Mary was writing letters when seven-year-old Paul came into the room and wished to sit on her lap. She said she was too busy right then to take him, but if he would sit down on the other side of the table she would love from there. For a few minutes Paul sat there and watched her. Then he said in indignant tones: "You're not doing it at all. I don't see any love letters coming this way." Pictorial Education. "Do you think the films are educational?" "They may be in some lines," answered Cactus Joe. "But they don't give any lessons in the way to use firearms. The average film hero handles a rifle like he had accidentally picked it up Instead of his walking stick."—Washington Star. Not to Be Cheated. Grandfather and Betty were paying a visit to the strawberry patch. He picked some small, luscious berries and fed them to the little girl. For himself he found much larger ones. Betty watched him for a few moments, and then said, gravely: "Grandfather, I can eat the large ones, too." Irrelevant "Dearest," whispered the movie star who had temporarily busted his crust while doing a stunt. "If I should die would you marry again?" "Why, what in the world would your dying have to do with it, darling?" surprisingly replied his wife, the well-known vampire—Kansas City Star.

Mrs. Subbubs had hired a green country girl whose looks reflected the benefit of plenty of fresh air and wholesome country food. One morning Mrs. Subbubs entered the kitchen just after the grocer's boy had been there and she said to the girl, "Why, Hester, what a rosy, happy face you have this morning. You look as if the dew had kissed you." Hester's face grew still rosier and her eyes sought the floor. "Please'm," she murmured, "he isn't a Jew, his name is Michael."
