His Wife Nearly Succumbs With Husband. James H. Weeden Hears Call for Help and Goes to Rescue Half Frozen Woman. The cold zero weather, which registered 15 and 20 degrees in Kansas City Saturday morning, resulted in the death of one of our aged colored citizens, Albert Rosenund, Sunday morning, at 536 Walker avenue in a shack on Jersey creek Mr. Rosenund was 84 years old, and he and his wife had lived at this number for many years and from the findings about the house seemed to have never made much success as to the comforts of this life. The furnishings were very meager and filthy. Really it would have been hard for a dog to have kept from freezing to death with the little bedding found in the house. What little fire they had Friday night went out and they had no wood to kindle it and the aged pioneer's life was frozen out about 3:30 Saturday morning, according to a statement by his wife. She called from, that time with her feeble voice until 8:30 before anyone went to her relief, when Mr James H. Weeden, 1949 North Sixth street, happened to be passing and went in and found the lifeless, frozen body. Mr. Weeden called T. H. Thatcher, the undertaker, and then proceeded to make the widow as comfortable as possible. Mrs. Rosenund, who is an invalid, is being cared for. CITY BRIEFS AND IN SOCIETY Mrs. Nettie Poenix of Denver is in the city visiting her mother, Mrs. Scott, on Jersey avenue. Her little son is with her. Dr. Fletcher of Kansas City, Mo., was in the city Sunday at Metropolitan church. Mr. and Mrs. George Stuart served dinner at their modern bungalow Thursday. Invited guests were: Mr. and Mrs. F. Houston of Des Moines, Iowa, and Mrs. M. C. Matthews. It was an enjoyable repast. Mr. Thad. Walker of Kansas City, Mo., came over to attend the Forum. Mrs. G. A. Curry on Washington boulevard served refreshments Sunday to our society editor. Mrs. Jackson, one of our fine school teachers, will have a fine program at her Junior B. Y. P.

Call Fifield 0574R. CITY Kansas City, Kansas, January 11, 1924 JORDAN, SPANISH WAR HERO, PASSES AWAY Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 12.—John C. Jordan, formerly chief gunner of Admiral Dewey's flagship, the Olympia, and famous for gallant service at Manila bay during the Spanish-American War, passed away peacefully in this city after a brief illness. His death marked the closing of a unique career, which began with his enlistment in the navy in June, 1887. During the battle of Manila bay, Mr. Jordan took charge of the guns on the Olympia, and for his excellent service during that period he was later assigned to important duties at the Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md. He leaves relatives in Washington, D. C., where his body was brought for burial. COLORED CONTRALTO SOLOIST SCORES WITH PHILHARMONIC Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 12.—Marian Anderson, a 22-year-old colored girl of this city, recently scored a heavy hit as contralto soloist with the Philharmonic Society, one of America's leading orchestras. The young artiste, who is at present studying with Giuseppe Boghetti, rose to the occasion of her opportunity, and, with musicianly sensibility and a voice of quality far above the average, rendered a number of outstanding selections. First, she offered "O Mio Fernando," from Donizetti's "Favorita." Then she sang two Negro spirituals, "My Lord, What a Mornin," and "Heav'n, Heav'n." Delivering the Donizetti air with telling fervor and dramatic emphasis, she passed to the more congenial field of the racial songs in which she was more thoroughly at home. These naive ballads she gave in a way that reached and stirred the hearts of all who heard her luscious and resonant voice, with a driving power of art and temperament behind it. The applause, when she finished, came like a sudden blast of gunfire and continued through so many recalls that it seemed as if a rule must be broken and an encore granted. ANNOUNCEMENT. The Ciy Federation of Kansas City, Kansas, wishes to announce that a joint memorial with the Missouri Federation will be held January 13th at the Second Baptist church, corner of Tenth and Charlotte streets at 3 p. m. Rev. Bacote, pastor. The change of plan was due to the fact of the district meeting in Kansas, in February, when Missouri Federation will join with them. Mrs. Leola Miller, 1010 State avenue, who has been confined to the house for several weeks with illness, is able to be out a little, which her many friends will be delighted to know. Slippery Going ADVOCATE WHO WILL ANSWER THE QUESTION? "Would ye their fond pageant see, Lord, how wise these mortals be." Who will answer the question? Are we really incensed and worked up about "The Birth of a Nation?" Are we really? Or is it just— If we are really interested in what some other fellow should NOT do to and toward us—it would seem barely possible that we would become just a little interested in what we COULD do for ourselves. It is to be deplored when we observe how wrongs and impositions are heaped upon at wholesale and the substance of our efforts is being sapped and taken from us without consideration. A condition of affairs in which our group is bearing the brunt of a great deal which could be easily avoided by a little care any effort on our part—is the common lot of our group in this community. And yet, in the face of such an appalling condition, we show but a bagatelle of inclination to better our condition. The series of sermons, or talks on the general outlook of our group, having for their theme and purpose the awakening of sentiment among us, to take hold of the situation, and to teach, preach and instill into the minds of our people a spirit of self-help, have been worse than POORLY attended. The Civic League, though struggling hard against the odds, is not receiving the support and co-operation that should be given such a body. Then what shall we say? Shall we cry havoc! and yield up in despair of awakening the proper spirit? I. F. BRADLEY, President. ADVOCATE RENEWALS.

THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER HOME OF JACOB CRAWFORD BADLY DAMAGED BY FIRE Fred White, No. 5 Captain, Reecives Severe Burns Fighting Fire. Fire broke out Sunday between 12 and 1 o'clock in the residence of Jacob Crawford, 1131 Everett avenue, and the house being located more than two blocks from a water plug and across the cut of the Leaven- worth interurban railroad, it had a good start before the fire company got into action and damaged the roof considerably before it could be put out. Fred White, No. 5 captain, was severely burned and was taken to his home, 532 Parallel avenue, which will keep him off of duty for several days. No. 5 fire company is known to be one of the best fire fighters in the city, and the friends of Mr. White and the company regret very much that one of their number met with such a painful accident. Mrs. Crawford has been very ill for several weeks, but had been taken to her daughters' home some weeks ago—2026 North Sixth street, Mrs. Smith's. It is said the loss was covered by insurance. UNIVERSITY BOARD MEETS The trustee board of Western University held a business meeting Wednesday, Bishop H. Blanton Parks, presiding. Every conference was represented and considerable of very important business was transacted. The president's report was well received and showed an enrollment of 315 of which 70 were in the college department. President Peck stated every available space was filled with students and a large number of applicants had to be turned away, on the account of housing quarters. The delegates of ministers and laymen of this Episcopal district, that met Tuesday on the Missouri side and closed with a recess adjourned, finished their business at Ward-Parks hall previous to the University Board setting, of which many of the delegates remained through the meeting. The delegates and trustees were elegantly dined with two appetizing meals at the student's dining hall. ICH DIAN ART CLUB SURPRISES TEACHER Ich Dian Art Club of Kansas City, Mo., very agreeably surprised their teacher, Mrs. A. J. Bouldin of 611 Parallel avenue, last Thursday, with a silver purse and many lovely Christmas presents. It was a happy event for this club. AMERICAN BEAUTY GIRLS One of the prettiest affairs of the New Year was at the beautiful home of Mrs. A. J. Bouldin, 611 Parallel avenue, New Year's day, when the American Beauty girls and a number of their friends were lavishly entertained with a beautiful tea party. It is said to be beyond description, with the house throughout decorated artistically with lemon yellow and American Beauty rosebuds, the color scheme, with hundreds of yards of rose petal rope. Each girl carried a basket of beauty roses, which were made by their own hands. Every guest wore a bunch of rosebuds. This club was recently organized and one would have only had to see them, on this occasion, to readily guess the name given this club. Christmas Candies at Kassel's Drug Store, 534 Minnesota avenue. The Douglass club, Mrs. M. 'A. Turner, president, sent six blankets to the hospital last week, costing $24.00. This club has raised over $500 for this institution and expect to make it $1,000 by spring. Mrs. Lillie Crawford 1131 Everett avenue, who has been very sick for many weeks at her daughter's home on Sixth street, is reported to be improving, of which her friends will be pleased to learn. Mrs. Luella Green spent several pleasant days with friends in Lawrence, last week. Number 21 MIDNIGHT SAYS THIS WILL BE BUSY YEAR; MEETS GREEK SCHOLAR Norfolk, Va., Jan. 12.—Of course you are thankful that you have seen 1924, yet you are not sure just whether you will see it go out, although you got to see it come in and it is here to stay until December 31 at midnight, and then it is going on about its business. Who it will take with it and who it will leave here I am not prepared to tell you, but you just be ready and be on the lookout, for every tub must stand on its own end. I have already told you how I turned over a new leaf, and what I intend to do, and all the time trusting in the Lord, and already I have traveled just a little more than I expected, yet you must not crowd me too much, for I am living on borrowed ground. I am sure that I have your prayers and your congratulations. If you were not in this world, then where would you be? This is to be one more busy year, for we are going to elect a president of the United States this year, and we will all be called upon to vote, men and women alike, and we hope that the right man will be placed at the head of our government, and I want to be able to say none other need apply. We are now studying President Calvin Coolidge with a view of deciding whether or not he should succeed himself, and this may be decided in the yes side. When I took my pen in hand to write you a few lines to inform you of my health, I was mingling among my people and your people in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and there I was the guest of Dr. J. W. Jones, the grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of North Carolina, and he is one more busy man. He is also president of the bank and an all-around man, working for he uplift and betterment of our people. He put at my use one of his automobile car carriages, which toted me to my eats and to everywhere else I wanted to go, and when that was over, I had the pleasure of speaking in the Methodist Episcopal church, of which the Rev. Mr. Morris is pastor, and then I spoke to men only in the afternoon in the First Baptist church, and at night at another Baptist church, and Monday the women and girls turned out in full regalia, so to speak, to hear me deliver a special message to them, and this was followed by the Emancipation meeting January 1, and they made me some speaker on this occasion. This is one of the features for Winston-Salem, and the people turn out in all their glory to give thanks unto God for what has been accomplished. They ever want to remember the past and at the same time pay tribute to the mothers and fathers who made the things possible. They paid for it with their blood and with their tears. They wore out their knees talking to God, and would not let the Throne alone until their prayers were answered and they stepped out free men and women. It was never intended that man should own man, and God was displeased with all this. I would have been displeased myself if I had been here, but I got here since the days of slavery. I am not an old man, yet I am up in years. The city of Winston-Salem is an aggressive place. We have two banks, two or three drug stores, doctors, insurance companies and real estate broker, lawyers, merchants—in fact, we are just IT in the town and we don't mind letting the world know who we are and for what we stand. We are proud of our churches, of our schools, of our boys and girls and of our men and women. We have them in all grades and classes, and this keeps us busy. We are even on the police force, and I am told that the best plain clothes man in the city and on the force is a little pumpkin colored man belonging to us. When I got through with the town, I found my way to Roanoke, Va., but honey, I met some snow. (Continued on Page 4.) --- ```markdown ``` PAGE TWO THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Proprietor. THOS.

The Advocate regretted to learn that on Christmas eve night the destroying by fire of Mt. Olive A. M. E. church at Emporia, Kansas, of whom Rev. R. S. Everett is pastor. Rev. Everett in a communication to The Advocate says their loss is between $1,500 and $2,000. The many friends here who are well acquainted with Rev. Everett, are greatly in sympathy with him and his congregation in their loss. They are holding services for the present in the Electric Theater.

Collaborators Give Opinions on Own Play Disciple of Bossuet and Mollere, dramatic author and theologian—a rare enough combination—David Augustin Brueys, who died 200 years ago, November 26, 1723, collaborated long and consistently with his friend, Palaprat, says a translation from Le Petit Parisien of Paris, France. Together they wrote many plays, some of them failures, others successes, among which was a little masterpiece called "Grondeur," which is still played. Speaking of this play, Brueys once remarked: "The first act is entirely mine. It is excellent. The second has been marred by a few scenes by Palaprat. It is mediocre. The third is wholly Palaprat's. It is very bad." Palaprat considered the play otherwise—exactly otherwise. That is how collaboration was understood 200 years ago and how, without doubt, it is understood today.—Kansas City Star. Fooled Again. There was silence, save for the scratching of pens and the soft footfall of a watchful examiner, for an examination was in progress. Suddenly the eye of the examiner caught a student who was studying his watch with more than usual interest. "Mr. Smith," said the watcher. "I will have a look at your timepiece, if you please." Smith seemed worried, but he handed over the watch. The other opened it and saw pasted across the dial a tiny slip of paper bearing the laconic legend, "Fooled." Of course, Smith was allowed to resume his work, but the examiner kept his eye on him, and soon he thought fit to have another look at the watch. But this time he did not go for the face. He opened the back instead. And there, sure enough, he found a small folded paper. Examining it eagerly, he read: "Fooled again!" Record Catch of Fish. The Lunenburg (Nova Scotia) fishing fleet landed a record catch of 312,075 quintals of fish during the last season. This is 16,925 quintals in excess of the 1919 record. The estimated value is over $2,000,000. The average catch a vessel was 3,151 quintals. The Marlan Belle Wolfe, with 5,600 quintals, was high liner. A fond father discovered his young hopeful reading a dime novel. "Unhand me, villain," the detected boy cried, "or there will be bloodshed." "No," said the father grimly, tightening the hold on the boy's collar, "not bloodshed, woodshed." THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH Located Cor Eighth and Nebraska. C. E. BROOKS, Pastor.

The budget system made its first appearance to the members Sunday and indicated, in every way, a marvelous success. The officers and members, with their faithful pastor, were greatly pleased at the beginning of this business system. Sunday night the Senior choir, after the pastor preached a short sermon, rendered a musical program to one of the largest Sunday night congregations that has been seen at a night meeting for months. How every one enjoyed this classical treat. The Junior choir sang at the morning service with great power, and they will render a special musicale this Sunday evening.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Sunday, January 6, 1924, the first Sunday in the New Year, was somewhat cold, but many attended Metropolitan Baptist church. We have one of the best 5 o'clock prayer meetings in town. The Sunday school at 9:30 is prosperous also. At 11 a. m. Pastor Bronson preached an excellent sermon, which was sanctioned by true Christians. His text was Genesis 5:22, "And Enoch walked with God." He showed how we can walk with God by serving Him and loving our enemies, and praying for those ho despitefully use us. At the close some united with the church. The Senior choir sang "Close to God," and many shouted, as the words were so appropriate for the sermon. Pastor Bronson then asked all to sing "It Pays to Serve Jesus." At 6:30 p. m. the B. Y. P. U. was largely attended, and group No. 1 gave a good program. At 8 p. m. Pastor Bronson gave the first sermon, then many others testified for Jesus for the first time in 1924. (Those who testified for Jesus at 12 m., New Year's morn, were the heroes, as they came through the extreme cold to thank God for sparing their lives.) On this first Sunday in 1924, hundreds took the Lord's Supper. But one of the most beautiful spectacles was the baptism of a girl 7 years old, who joined Christmas at 5 a. m. Pastor Bronson took her into his arms, and she put on Christ in baptism so calmly that the congregation was spellbound. Great things are predicted for this girl. Our pastor praised our members for coming to church on such a cold day. He also spoke of Mr. Sterling Davis winning the prize for his essay on the National Highway. Next Sunday, January 18th, is another great day. A fine sermon at 11 a. m. and an installation at 3 p. m. All are invited to our church. Come to Metropolitan, a church which overcomes every foe by the help of God. Mrs. J. T. Taylor had a nice paper at B. Y. P. U. The Sewing Circle serves dinner this Friday at the church. MT.

The friends and members of Mt. Olive Baptist church met early for Christmas worship, although the weather was very inclement. The prayer services were conducted by the deacons and members. The pastor's text was preached from Heb. 12:1, "Wherefore we are compassed about with a great cloud of witnesses," etc. He made his discourse greatly felt on the subject "Running the Christian Race With Patience." The contributions were good. The B. Y. P. U. met at 5 o'clock and worked on the modern order and had a good session. The night services were good and spiritual. The pastor's text, Joel 2:1, "Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountains: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is night at hand." He made stress on the preaching of the gospel in the churches today representing the sounding of the trumpet letting the inhabitants of the earth know to get ready for "the great day of the Lord." Twelve sinners came forward for prayer. There were two additions to the church. We still have a few members on our sick list. Brother Hawkins and Brother Richardson are convalescing a little. A sister on Third street near the church is very sick. Pray for their recovery. Mrs. A. Lewis has returned from her visit to Fulton, Ark., and reports having a nice time. Meet your church clubs; give your club leaders a donation each week. Come to church. You are welcome. Read The Advocate. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Kansas City, Kansas. Rev. W. A. Bowren, D. D.

The covenant was led by Deacons Spaulding and Plough. The budget system proved a success last year and the members and friends have begun with renewed activity this year. The pastor and Prof. John A.

Despite the inclement weather an appreciable number of teachers and pupils were present. A recreational program has been prepared and outlined for the Sunday school. The sermon preached by our pastor on Sunday morning was full of inspiration and enlightenment. He spoke at length on the subject, "The Voice From the Tomb." He said that the history or record of every man speaks after death. The question, "What shall be your record for the New Year and years to come?" was clearly and forcibly put to the audience. Shall we be true to our promises, shall we give more for the cause of Christ, and shall we attend services regularly?—were other questions put before the congregation. On Sunday evening the pastor discussed the subject, "The Value of the Soul." He said that the problem of youth is ever increasing in importance. By reading highly exciting sexual novels, automobile riding and petting parties our young girls and boys are forced into cesspools of immorality in which the ideals of true motherhood, fatherhood, womanhood and manhood are destroyed. Thus, the foundation of our race is being shattered. There is a financial rivalry between the men and women of the church for honors; in the form of a "King and Queen Contest." It is said that the women have never equalled the men and never will. Will the women verify this statement? Watch these columns for other news of the contest.

Why insist upon clinging to a habit that greatly diminishes the strength of many? Health is the first requisite for a life of usefulness and happiness. The mind is affected by the body, and a soul lodged in a diseased and suffering frame cannot achieve the highest usefulness. We all know that the human race loves to cling to a luxury, especially when there is no perceptible harm, but after the danger presents itself, how, like a child, does the sufferer grasp for prompt relief with hopes of a cure—this is why we now offer our Tobacco Antidote to liberate the slaves of the Tobacco Habit. The mind is affected so that active thoughts are less active; the eyes are blurred and the sight impaired through the narcotic and over-stimulation, causing paralysis, not only of the optic nerves, but in many cases portions of the body; the digestive organs are taxed to the extreme, and the nervous system in general weakened to a great degree.

One of the most extraordinary cases of what may be called an accidental invention is that of the lifeboat. A man named Wouldhave was out walk- ing one day when he was asked by an old woman to help her lift a can of water which she had filled by means of a broken wooden bowl. The bowl was floating on the surface of the water, and as he talked to the woman, Wouldhave turned it over with his finger. It immediately righted itself. Amused by its antics he repeated the performance; then it struck him that he had made a wonderful discovery. The result of his chance meeting was the self-righting lifeboat, which was designed by him on the lines of the broken bowl. What he had discovered was that anything made of floating material and shaped like one-half of a basin could float only with its convex surface downward. A boat made on these lines cannot remain upside down for more than an instant when it is turned over by a heavy sea. Masonic Tribu intiff said intiff's arrring title, e in, ed in intiff. intiff.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Classics That Might Have Moved the Envy of Baron Munchausen. One told by Bill Nye related that while riding home on his orphan mule Boomerang, bearing a jug, there came up a wind so strong that it blew the jug inside out, and then, suddenly reversing itself, blew the jug right again without wasting any of its contents. Two other classics of the kind may be recalled. A Nebraskan was telling a Canadian how cold it got in Nebraska and what a lasting impression the severe weather made. One extremely warm summer a barn in which popcorn was stored took fire. The corn began to pop and soon fell in such showers that it resembled a snowstorm. A mule, imagining he was in a Nebraska blizzard, lay down and froze to death. The Canadian, not to be outdone, said the cold in Alberta was keener than that in Nebraska. "It gets so cold up there sometimes in winter," he narrated, "that the noise of a train's whistle, as it shoots across the prairie, often freezes before the echo fades away, and if you happen to pass that spot again on the first spring day when things begin to thaw out, you'll again hear the noise of the whistle as it is freed from its frozen state, and if you don't know otherwise you'd surely think another train was passing."—Capper's Weekly. USE MOUNTAINS FOR MASTS Wireless Station Utilizes Peaks for Antennae—Wires Supported by Strong Cable. A wireless station using mountain peaks for antenna masts has recently been put into service in Upper Bavaria. The wires are supported by a strong cable and extend from one peak 5,100 feet high, a distance of about a mile and a half across country to the top of a smaller hill of some 5,280 feet elevation. The station is designed to communicate directly with the War East. Special arrangements were necessary for the fixing of the cable ends and to allow for its stretching. The end of the cable is fastened to a small carriage weighted with stones and running on rails. When the cable is bent by snow or wind the carriage is pulled forward. When the stress ceases it rolls backward on its sloping railroad. Lord Was Far-Sighted. Nearly a century ago Lord Lonsdale, owner of coal mining property along the northwest coast of England, near Whitehaven, asked the government for a concession to mine coal under the sea for a distance of ten miles from the shore and for an extent of 20 miles along the coast. For this he offered to pay the sum of £50,000. The thing seemed so impractical to the British government that they acceded at once to the proposition, feeling that they had sold the noble lord something resembling a gold brick. But science kept on developing the mining industry and now the coal mines at Whitehaven extend four and a half miles out to sea and 1,500 feet beneath the bottom. The lessees pay to the heirs of Lord Lonsdale more royalty every year than the original price of the concession. Another "Skin Game." The words "Admission Free," outside a picture gallery, attracted the attention of Farmer Grubbins. He thought he would go in. When he was halfway up the stairs he was confronted at the turnstile by an attendant. "I must take your umbrella," said the official, putting out his hand for it. "Oh, will you?" gasped the farmer. "Ol jolly well know you won't! Ol thought it must be a swindle, as you don't usually see sights for nothing in Lunnon!" So down the stairs he went again, with the umbrella grasped firmly in both hands. AGENTS WANTED—Three good colored agents wanted.

TERMS Fairfax 1394 some sleet and some cold weather. I remained still as much as possible for I did not care to stir up the bugs and get them after me again. Of course I have been in touch with some bug fighters, and I am proud that the battle has been won thus far. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. and Mrs. Schley, the men and women of that part of the world who are doing things. Mrs. Schley is one of the best nurses in the country. She knows her business when it comes to that, and then she is a real first-class school woman. Her life is being devoted to her own people and some of mine, too. I thank God for her life. I tell you I had a time getting around in the snow and ice and when I was ready to leave Charles Dean came for me, and he had to help me over the ice and snow to his car, and then tote me over to the stable when I got the Norfolk & Western for this place. I say this place, but I made it to Lynchburg, Va., where I found Prof. R. C. Woods, president of the Virginia Theological Seminary and college had sent down to meet me and tote me up to the intisitation. This made me feel like I was some squash to have a college president send to meet me. I wish you could have seen me strut "Miss Lizzie." The school was reached, and Mrs. Woods received me with a smile, just like she was receiving a brother. Soon I was in the chapel looking at them students. When I met President Woods, I looked him in the face and said, "I muskoditum intomolishuconstriatum inkimuntus." I wish you could have seen that college president look at me, and then he said that I was welcome to the school, and I don't know whether he thought me a smart man or a—well, you just guess the rest. At any rate, I was trying to tell him in sound that I was delighted to see that large body of students, about 400, and they are brilliant men and women. I wanted him to know that I was impressed with the school, and then I wanted him to think that I was some educated guy. Dr. Woods asked me to say a few things to the students, and reminded me that they were students, and that I should cut my words within reach of common people. I had already outreached my outreacher, but I was not outdoing the thinker. I made a few scattering remarks to them students, and whether they thought I was a college man, I am not prepared to say, for I did not use any of them big sounds I have stored away, and when I get to using them, you don't know what I am talking about—the God who made us and endowed us with the power and faculty to shape our own language did not know, and the devil did not know, and I am sure that the people who heard me were not htat far up in the dictionary yet. I think I am just going to make a new dictionary. It will be devoted to those who read after me. Speaking of those who read after me, a few days ago I went to see a Baptist preacher and he had his deacons in his study teaching them Greek. What do you think of this? He said to me, "When I analyze my text in Greek Sunday morning, I wants my deacons to know what I am saying in order that they may interluke the words to the congregation. I wants the world to know I has an intelligentus congregationus. I knows Greek, Latin, Hebrew and all the other languages." I felt like saying "Pray, church, pray." God has not quit making damphules yet, and that preacher is just about in that class. He is so full of himself until he is just running over. I wonder if there are many more like him. The Virginia Seminary and college is an institution supported by the Baptists of Virginia and they are doing their part in good shape, believe me, honey. I wish I could just tell you all about them, but it is not possible for me to do this. Dr. Woods is one of the great men of our race and church. Only a few hours were spent there, and then off for Norfolk, reaching here about 9 o'clock at night. I found Dr. Robert J. Brown, the leading tooth dentist doctor, waiting in his automobile car carriage to tote me over to his home. He was not in the car, but waiting to see me drop off, and then he called a red cap to tote my things, and soon we were in his palatial home. Mrs. Pearl B. Brown, the wife, is just a young queen in her king's mansion. They are a happy pair and they have one son to bless their home. It is manners to be in such a fine home and get such fine treatment, and a car to tote you around. Such is life. Dr. Brown is one THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE A more busy man, just busy all the time.

I am going to be there, for I have never been in that city since I have been in the world. God bless you. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Perfume Atomizers at Kassel's Drug Store, 534 Minnesota avenue. NEW PAIR OF STARS FOUND Densest and Fastest Revolve Around Each Other So As to Eclipse. The densest and fastest double-star known has been discovered by F. C. Jordan, famous American astronomer. The new star is composed of two stars. In rotating, the light from one is stopped by the other every six hours; that is, in six hours the stars of this doublet revolve around each other so as to eclipse. This pair of stars, or this star composed of a pair, is three times denser than our sun and each is about the same size as the sun. The double-star is so far distant from the earth that it takes its light, traveling 180,000 miles per second, several years to reach the earth. In fact, if it died or disintegrated, it would be years before we knew it. For all we know we may not be looking at this star itself, but at its image of years ago. When we look at the stars we do not see them as they are today, but as they were when the light left them perhaps hundreds of years ago.—Detroit News. Ocean Currents Knowledge of the direction and speed of ocean currents is of great importance to navigators. Since it is very difficult to measure these directly, the United States hydrographic office accomplishes it approximately by means of what are known as "bottle papers." These are small paper slips with directions for their return to the proper authorities printed in the principal languages of civilization. They are given to vessel captains, sealed in bottles, and thrown overboard with the time and place they were put over noted on them. After months or years they come back to Washington. One drifted nearly across the Atlantic and back. Another made a drift across the widest part of the Pacific, taking more than two years. Another dropped near the Cape of Good Hope and was picked up on the west coast of Australia. Couldn't Understand Them. "The worst of these houses is that the walls are so thin you can hear everything the people next door say. There's a foreign couple next door to us, and it's almost driving my wife crazy." "Violent, nolisy people, eh?" "Yes, but it isn't that. You see, they quarrel quite a lot, and she can't understand a word they say." "I've got toothache very badly." "Oh, that's nothing. I've got a good cure for that." "What is it?" "Oh, just throw a stone at the window opposite, and—" "Yes?" "Well, the pane will go!" If some men didn't boast of their abilities others would never know that they possessed them. It's too much trouble for some men to make up their minds not to let their troubles trouble them. Many climb the ladder of success because a bunch of friends are boosting them up the ladder. Daughter to Be His Able Secretary Grant Hudson, new member of congress from Michigan, has brought his secretary with him from home. It is his daughter, Miss Helen Hudson, who declares is the most efficient secretary a man could have. Families Live in Cave Hewn Out of Solid Rock Healthy and thriving families are living comfortably and happily in caves hewn out of the solid rock which overlooks the pretty Worcestershire village of Kinver, near Stourbridge. In this wonderful cave colony about thirty people dwell as contentedly and as happily as people do in garden cities. Of four or five families, the largest, with eight or nine bright, healthy-looking children, occupies a three-caved dwelling. One cave is the kitchen-sitting room and the other two are bedrooms. The dwellings are at all heights, and are approached by narrow pathways winding round and up the rock. One dwelling, regarded as the "mansion" of the colony, contains seven rooms, and has glazed windows back and front. The floors, walls and ceilings are rough-hewn rock. The front door is approached by a roadway, and a cheery fire burns in a kitchen stove, cemented into one corner of the front sitting-room. A well-made chimney, carved out of the rock, carries away the smoke. The squire of the community owns the freehold of his rock dwelling, whilst the majority of the others are let at a rental of a few shillings a week. The local authority recognizes these cave dwellings, which are assessed in the rate books.—London Tit-Bits. It requires introspection for a man to realize his own faults. Favors should be conferred with judgment and deliberation. Money may not bring happiness, but it saves one a lot of worry. A man who only wants to be a good fellow values smiles highly. He that does good to another man does also good to himself. There's no fool like a young fool who tries to act like an old fool. Most of the human ennities arise from a clash of selfishness. We all laugh at the jokes of the man who passes out favors. Prize fighters fight for money; there's some object in that. Good luck consists in having a serviceable brain that thinks well. Slot machines now dispense daily insurance policies for a nickel. There are natures that don't care for somebody's neck as a footrest. When men speak ill of you live so that nobody may believe them. Conscience is at most times a very faithful and prudent admonitor. In time of peace prepare for controversies in the War department. In extraordinary events ignorance of their cause produces astonishment. There are no garrets, so old furniture is nowadays always on the go. When the proverbial rainy day comes lots of men use borrowed umbrellas. What has become of the old-fashioned clothes in which the pockets didn't wear out? One knows when he is flattered, but he usually can't help liking the person who does it. Abstinence from anything desired may not be enjoyable, but it is sometimes gratifying. The average man spends more money on a foolish habit than he does on his wife's hats. It takes a young pup in the cellar at night to try out the acoustic properties of a cellar.
