KANSAS Vol. X LINCOLN DAY CLUB HOLD ANNUAL MEET AND BANQUET LINCOLN DAY CLUB HOLD ANNUAL MEET AND BANQUET KANSAS CITY LAWYER ELECTED PRESIDENT Topeka, Kan., Feb. 14. (Special to Advocate.)—The Lincoln Day Club held its annual meeting Tuesday, February 12th, at St. John's A. M. E. church, 511 West Seventh street, Rev. J. R. Ransom, pastor. At 6:30 p. m. the banquet took place, some two hundred and fifty enjoyed the very excellent, appetizing spread. At 8:30 Prof. P. G. Porter, president, Salina, called the meeting to order in the main auditorium of the church, which was comfortably filled with representatives from throughout the state, including a large number of Topeka's prominent citizens of both races. The first speaker was Dr. H. H. Wilson, Salina, who spoke on the life of John Brown, whose words of this great character, as the speaker said, come from the lips of the only survivor, who associated and worked through the trying ordeals of the man who laid down his life for a bondage people. Following Mr. Consadine B. Jenkins of Kansas City and a law student of Kansas University, spoke on Frederick Douglass, "The Bronze Knight." Mr. Jenkins was at his best and had his audience at his command. At times they were nearly on their feet, with applause and at times tears trinkled down their cheeks. State Attorney Griffith was the last speaker, who talked on the life of Lincoln, who in words of eloquence portrayed the life and purpose of this great emancipator, as Attorney Griffith can do. The committee on resolutions made its report, endorsing President Calvin Coolidge's administration and his nomination at the Republican National Convention, that's to be held in Cleveland in June. The committee also commended Congressman Dyer in reintroducing the Dyer antilynch bill and the effort being put forth for the pardon of the federal prisoners of the colored soldiers of the Houston riot, who are incarcerated at Leavenworth prison. The T. I. E. I. orchestra and chorus furnished the music for the evening's program. Officers elected were: Attorney Wm. Towers, Kansas City, president; G. W. Bridgeforth, vice president, Topeka; secon dvice president, J. S. Hunnicut, Topeka; third vice president, J. Fanon, Olathe; secretary, T. W. Troup, Topeka; assistant secretary, Mrs. Mary J. Jackson, Kansas City; treasurer, Geo. J. Jones, Oskaloosa, Kan.; chairman executive committee, Dr. H. H. Wilson, Salina, Kan.; historian, E. Ridley, Topeka, Kan.

Hymn, led by Mrs. Washington. By request, Mrs. M. G. Matthews read a eulogy and an original poem, which was said by many to be the most vivid and accurate description of this mother's life and love. She also told poetically of the vision of Christ seen on her face. Mrs. L. Griest sang a pretty solo. The S. M. T.'s turned out in a body and had their ceremony. The deceased was born in Kentucky about 70 years ago, and, was, a christian about 50 years. She died in the full triumph of faith, leaving-two devoted sons, Walter Jennings and William Jennings and many relatives and friends who regret her transition. The remains were buried in the family lot -SUBSCRIPTION PRICE -TWELVE MONTHS. $1.50 THE KANSAS POLITICAL LEAGUE RESOLUTIONS. We, your committee on resolutions, report the following: We observe the sturdy hand, the rigfiteousness of purpose and the inclination to the fair deal on the national administration; we therefore indorse the candidacy of our president, Calvin H. Coolidge. We are aware of a desire on the part of members of our group, who desire to be delegates at large to the national convention—we therefore indorse the idea, and shall do all in our power to impress the Republican organization of the state, that it will do well to send a member of the race to the convention. We also stand pledged to support any member of our group who shall deem it wise and prudent to enter the race for a state office. We believe that we are vitally interested in these matters and things which concern us in our several localities—we therefore urge that every one take care to be alert along such lines. We pledge ourselves to support the Dyder bill, and urge our representatives in Congress to support the same. We also pledge ourselves to increase our efforts to secure the release of our war prisoners at the U. S. prison at Leavenworth. —Thos. Kennedy, chairman; G. J. Jones, Eliza Lysle, Ella N. Rolling, I. F. Bradley. The Kansas Lincoln Day Club. We, your committee on resolutions, report the following: We are mindful of the careful paintaking and courageous course of our president, in national affairs; we therefore indorse the same, as well as his candidacy also. We are pleased to observe that members of our group are awakening to a full sense of their right, duty and obligation to become full-fledged and effective factors in our civil and political administration; we therefore indorse and encourage the aspirations of those who are seeking preferment as delegate at large to the national convention, both statewide and in districts. We believe that no group can attain to the highest and best, so long as the liberty and the rights guaranteed them by our national constitution—are with impunity denied them; we therefore indorse the reintroduction of the Dwyer bill, and urge our representatives in congress to support the same. In all ages and in all civilizations, amnesty has always followed the cruelties and ravages of war; we therefore pledge our further effort to secure the release of our war prisoners at Leavenworth, Kan. We stand uncovered in the presence of the memory of the great emancipator, and recommend his acts, his deeds, his character, and his very life; to be most suitable and fit—not only for members of our group—but such as should mark the line of life of all mankind—in all ages. I. F. Bradley, chairman; William Bradshaw, Thos. Kennedy. CARD OF THANKS.

N. D.) CITY FEDERAL RESERVE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY Banquets and Entertains More Than 400 Persons at First Baptist Church, Corner Fifth and Nebraska; Rev. W. A. Bowren, Minister. Tuesday night, February 12th, was a gala occasion for the children and grownups as well. Mr. W. H. Gregory of the Federal Reserve Life Insurance company, assisted by Mr. Arps and Mr. Kendrick, were sponsors for the splendid affair. Interesting talks were made by Mr. Gregory and his assistants. All made a good impression and cannot fail to help strengthen the good opinion already held by many of the worth while citizens of Kansas City, Kan., for the company. A very pleasing feature of the evening's entertainment was the singing of the Peerless Jackson Jubilee Singers. All of their numbers were pleasantly rendered. "The Bells," Mrs. Taylor, contralto soloist, and the "State Song" deserve special mention. Miss Z. Phenix of Kansas City, Mo., a very clever young woman, gave four readings which captivated the audience. She is excellent in dramatic and humorous selections. A reader of no mean ability. Prof. Sherman Scruggs, superintendent of the Sunday school, assisted by his affable wife and the splendid corps of teachers, served delicious refreshments in abundance in the lecture room, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion, Tuesday being Lincoln's birthday. A large picture of the Emancipator, draped in the national colors, graced the rostrum of the main auditorium and lecture room. Western University Band rendered sweet music during the evening. Each child was given a horn as a souvenir of the occasion, and the children were all happy. If Mr. Gregory and his assistant were candidates for president of U. S. A. or any other office and the children could have voted there and then they would have been elected, for the grownups would have voted yea, too, I think. A dollar invested now in the Federal Life Insurance Company is bread cast upon the waters to be returned multiplied after many days for yourself and children.

A. at Sumner high school. The large and appreciative audience was charmed with the speech and applauded heartily. He made a plea for close co-operation between parents and teachers and urged the parents to aspire high and impress the child in youth, by placing best pictures on the wall and best literature on library table. He stated early impressions are the lasting ones. He stressed the fact that it would take the united effort of the three great factors—home, school and church—to save the government and make worthy citizens out of our boys and girls. Those from Kansas City who attended the Lincoln Day Club banquet at Topeka Tuesday were: Mesdames Eliza Lyles, Mary Jackson, Nora Bailey, Elizabeth Hudson; Lawyers Dorsey Green, I. F.

As a general rule our group do not take interest in matters until it is too late. We seem not to like the word ECONOMY—but have a strong hankering after WASTE. Especially so, when it comes to the point of wasting our chances, opportunities and powers for the better. Most all of us are industrial factors, and are vitally connected with the industrial world, and any legislation which concerns the great industrial features of the country, means very much to us, whether we know it or not. We have all heard more or less of the Esch-Cummins railroad law, which is about to be attacked in congress. That is a good law, and means life to thousands of our group, all over this country. Civic bodies and men of other groups are exercising themselves to see to it that the law is not disturbed—our chamber of commerce has gone on record to that effect, and would be pleased if we could see our way to do so. Then why not come out and so express ourselves and even write letters on a matter of so vital importance? Unwise legislation which puts an industrial concern out of life, is no small affair. Take our own little Northwestern railroad—now out of commission—take note of how many it affected, from section hand upward. We should express ourselves in all ways possible to our representatives in congress. We hope members will give hearty support to a matter which has the approval of the best thought of the community. And there are many other matters, which cry aloud for attention from us. Shall we continue to neglect them, and let matters grow worse? It is hoped we will act wisely—there is a statement in a great book to the effect—"He who would have friends, must show himself friendly—and there is a friend, which sticketh closer than a brother." Showing ourselves interested in others—'tis possible to get help from the same strong and powerful source, along lines where we so much need it, in obtaining the substantial betterments which we are striving to attain.

M. of Prince Hall Grand Court, Heroines of Jericho of Kansas, Nebraska, Idaho, is making her annual official visits to the Subordinate Courts of the states. Number 26 MIDNIGHT HOBNOBBING WITH A. M. E. BISHOPS THIS WEEK St. Augustine, Florida, Feb. 14. Let me pause here and pay tribute to a great woman who has recently fallen to sleep in Jesus, Mrs. Nellie Kennedy, the wife of Thomas Kennedy, editor and publisher of the Kansas City Advocate. I have seen many couples in this world, but I have never seen any whose lives fit into each other as these. They were just like Siamese twins, and devoted to each other. Mrs. Kennedy was one of the silent forces at work in racial development. Her mission was not to talk but to work, and she had much to do with the making of her husband. She is with us no more, but some day we shall all have that happy meeting. I commend her husband, the one left to mourn, the one who married her in youth, the one she lived from childhood and spent her entire life for his happiness, to the Alighty God, for some day he, too, shall go to her. She did not leave any children, but that devoted companion. But we did not come here to stay always, but just a little while and then we pass on. Some stay longer than others, but even at that they shall go. "Brother Kennedy, God will take care of you if you will permit Him to do so." Jesus will go with you all through life and then escort you to heaven if it be your choice. To show that death does not make any difference in race, color or position, you will find that after going to the humble home of Editor Kennedy, it then stepped into Washington, D. C., and knocked at the door of President Woodrow Wilson, and carried him away. I am sure that there are many sad hearts, for he had just declared that he was going to take part in the next campaign, and I feel that his influence would have gone to McAdoo, but he will have to watch the result from the spirit land. I am sorry that he died, for he was one of America's great men, and rendered great service during the war. He could not please all the people, for he did not please me in many things, yet I pause today to say that I regret that this great American should be called away at this time. Now I must turn my attention to the living, for they are living, and to say to you that I seat myself down in a chair with my pen in hand and ink and paper on the desk to write you to say I am still in the land of the living, and I had the pleasure of seeing a Florida Wyandotte hen drop an egg, and then I ate the egg. It is wonderful how a fellow can eat a chicken before it is born and then eat one after it is dead. This has happened, and I am glad to give you a report on it. But then why spend time talking about a hen laying an egg, for this is a busy world and a busy age, and people are making changes and men are contending for the mastery, and some of them are succeeding and others are falling down. When I wrote that other letter to you I was way down yonder in Baton Rouge, La., and you see where I am now, and right now I am going to make a trip to Atlanta, Ga., to see the African Methodist Bishops, and to see them plan for their future. You will just have to keep your eyes on me, and I will let you know what is going on there. The candidates will be there and they are going to discuss their plans for the next General Conference, and each one will be sure of election to the position to which he aspires, and perhaps they will be, but if so then the African Methodist church will have to get busy making more pastors, for they will be long on bishops and short on pastors. But some of them will be disappointed and will have to return to their homes. But heaven is my home, although I am not exactly homesick now. I made it through. New, Orleans and had another look at the home of Dr. M. C. Gaines, and then off to see Rev. B. G. Dawson, the angel of New Orleans, and from there I made my way to Mobile, Ala. It had been a real long spell since I was in Mobile, yet I stopped over there and found that Jaimes L. Knox was one (Continued on Page 4) Rees . ‘i s See 4 cg eS Sig Sf Sit pit Waa teen ote vaing tet Seay A two TS ae eT es, Sati Sg Liar PAIS Bee: = 34 fay dat sai > zi 3 RC ee: tae sh atigel Satins pdt Bigs MEO aL BR eye a Wal aS verde bas S EB tie Bok x Ea ae citi ats Get kage tia “ico, dys Sanne Matas ns cid pe MB ara Re Spoon lige SR A og a as oad ard da a 5 Re 8 rr z SOP SiG Raia ir Racca Gia SEG ee A BS Fei BRA EN RAS SG FT ee ore co cece aie RESUS Geen oR ar ee ke mone, Bear dac iG SU Mg Siar IG SUS i ine GOSS VEN Ee oR er ta eRe ET CU a SRS PR AE tt THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Proprietor. —_— THOS.

One soul confessed Christ to the pardon of his sins. The evening service was well at- tended and after a short talk by the pastor the Junior choir gave their monthly sacred concert. The program was an excellent one, with four soloists of young women and the choir rendering gospel and ju- bilee songs. The solos by these young women were of a high order in the classics.

Olive Baptist church mem- bers and friends met Sunday in re- ligious worship and had a large con- gregation. The Sunday school was ably carried on by Brother W. T. Thomas and his faithful young at- tendants, who enjoy meeting early and having a good lesson. The prayer services were spiritual, The pastor preached from the text, Rev. 14:14, 15, “And I looked and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, ‘Thrust in thy sickle and reap; for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.’ And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.” Subject, “Pity Has Left the Earth, and Merey Can Not Be Found.” He carried his dis- course to the extent that the Spirit of love from the Holy Ghost was poured out among his hearers, who caught the gleam of fire burning in their hearts. The B. Y. P. U. met at 5 o'clock and had a good session. Sister Fanny Hopkins is still urging the little army of Union workers to go forward. Rev. Williams preached Sunday night, Text, Matt. 27:42, “He saved others, himself he can not save. If he be the King of the Jews let him now come down from the cross, and lwe will believe him.” Subject, “Not Saved on Account of Others.” He preached a great sermon to the wait- ing congregation, which was enjoyed by all.

He showed how necessary it is for us to have light to see physically, also to have the greater light of Christ to see spir- itually. It was a very intelligent sermon. The Sunday school was large and interesting and the B. ¥. P. U. had a fine program. The publicity committee has af- fected many by saying the numbers should pertain to Christianity on Sunday any many are taking heed. A beautiful pantomime, Jesus Lov- er, was acted by little Gladys Mc- Millen, en costume, while Mrs. V. Calhoun sang and Mrs, E, Lake played. Mr. C. Daniels sang a sa- cred tenor solo, and Miss L, Plum- mer gave an instrumental solo. The main feature of the program was the address on the lesson by Prof. Buster. He was highly-compliment- ed and he praised the B. Y. P. U. for having such a large attendance. At 8 p. m. Pastor Bronson preached on “Ye are the Light of the world,” and said in” part, “Whatever it cost let us keep in the light and with God.” The world needs Christ and we must carry it to them. The Senior choir sang the beautiful “Zion Stands With Hills Surrounded,” “Close to Thee” and “Let the Lower Lights Be Burning.” Many gave vent to their thoughts of Christian devotion. The collection was over $317, and over $30 was given for Mr. Ander- son, the young usher who was buried ‘Tuesday morning. Next Sunday, February 17th, other great sermons will be delivered.

Contri- bution $10.26, And they are planning a big rally for February 24, after which date the pastor will take his leave for Kansas City, Kansas, where he will conduct a meeting for Dr. A. S.

Yokohama Dropped 300 Feet After Earthquake One of nature's strangest pranks in the Japanese earthquake disaster of last September was that the surface of the entire city of Yokohama dropped vertically some 800 feet. This accounted for the swiftness with which practically every structure in that community of 600,000 was de- stroyed. The dropping of the top ground forced the waters of the saturated substrata to the surface, through in- numerable earthquakes, flooding the entire city except the hilltops to a depth of eight to ten inches of cold water. This soon flowed off into the harbor, but It left the softer ground araday and this mud in which the refagees at Yokohama park burrowed, saved the 10,000 there from being ‘roasted to death by the flames of the burning city.—R.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE MEN AND MEASURES. J. R. RANSOM Topeka, Kansas, Mr. Editor. Will you grant space in the columns of your paper to say a few words touching some of the men and measures that will and should come before our coming General Conference next May in Louisville, Kentucky. There are so many good and capable men who are seeking place and power in our church at this coming General Conference that it should not be a hard matter to find one's ideals. This is true among the rank that is seeking the suffrage of their brethren for Bishopric and General Office. All these splendid men are my friends, and I wish it was possible for me to give each one of them my unlimited support, but that is an impossibility. I am certain they are going to grant me the same privilege that they took in my case four and twelve years ago—make a choice and go to the bat for them. First of all, I am for the revising of the "Book of Discipline," so that it will say what it means and mean what it says. I think we should either do away with the time limit, or enforce it. If we are going to retain the limit make it apply to all pastors, presiding elders and bishops alike, for unless it does apply to each and all alike there is a feeling created among ministers and laymen that for the most part they never get over. As it relates to the bishops, personally, I believe the best interest of the church can be served by the rotation of the bishops. While I do not agree with Dr. Wm. H. Peck on the method of assigning them, I think the Council of Bishops should be privileged to make the assignments without any restriction, and that the bishop should be required to live in certain zones, and during the interval of the annual conferences that they shall supervise all the work that requires the presence and supervision of a bishop. But until the law is changed, either retaining or limiting their time on a given district. I am standing where my conference ordered me, and that is to bring back to the Fifth Episcopal District our present bishop, H. B. Parks, who has done more for the Fifth District than any bishop we have ever had. I say this without fear or favor, for I have never asked Bishop Parks or any other bishop to carry me. I don't say that I never will, for as I reach the years of my sitting sun I don't know what I shall have to do. But thank God for forty-two years I have trusted God and did my work so well that no bishop has ever had to come and get me. They have all moved me when the limit came, and they have said to me: "Go," when the churches wanted me to stay, and I wanted to stay, but I have been loyal to whoever presided over me, and I do not know any bishop in the church that I had rather have than Bishop Parks. If he is sent elsewhere, whoever comes to the Fifth Episcopal District will find J. R. Ransom just as true and loyal to him as I have been to Bishop Parks and all his predecessors. We have a man in the Kansas Conference who has said that he felt that he would like to succeed the Rev. B. F. Watson as secretary and treasurer of the Church Extension Society, and that man is in every sense worthy and capable, and I would be less than a man if I did not give him every encouragement possible. He has served the church and has helped others attain to the goal, and why not give him your vote? I speak of that splendid pastor, financier, debt payer, and great gospel preacher, Rev. J. T. Smith, our pastor at Hutchinson, Kansas. I am going to say here and now, I love many brethren who are seeking the high calling of a bishop, but I do not know whether the Bishops Council is going to recommend the election of any more bishops, but if they do, or do not, I am with them. If they recommend only three, let's elect to the office of the bishopric, Rr. R. C. Ransom, that scholar and orator, that great preacher and race defender who stands today the equal of the best in the other races. Rev. A. L. Gains, D.D., the man who has the confidence and respect of all who know him, and all of whom will say you will place on the bench one of your kind, and you will not be all your life time paying him off, but who will ever remember that he came from the ranks. The third man that I will call your attention to is that little giant who is now pastoring our church in Denver, Colorado, who is one of the most princely fellows you will meet in a life time. no matter who you are or the the size of your appointment. He extends his hand of fellowship to you and one of the finest qualities in Dr. Thomas is he is true to his friends, and if he has anything to say about you that you would think unkind, he says it to your face and gives you the reason for his saying. It is true that in the delegates meeting in Kansas City, Mo., last month, they gave Dr. Wm. H. Peck the indorsement, fifteen against ten. I told them before the vote was ever cast that I was for Dr. Thomas and would not regard myself bound by the vote unless my man released me. He told them he would not regard himself out of the race by any action they might take, so Dr. Peck understands that I am still standing by the man that stood by me. Dr. Wm. H. Thomas can be relied upon under any and all circumstances and the church will make no mistake if it elects him as one of her bishops in Louisville next May. We are all for Dr. Barksdale's re-election as Editor of the Western Christian Recorder and everything else that he wants to make it go. Brethren, anything I said in the letter exhibited at that delegation meeting in Kansas City, I can and will say it again if I am required to. Since there were only two letters written and my friend saw and read them both, the manly thing to have done was to take it up with me, but it's all right unless some body wants to take it further. I so, I am willing. AGENTS WANTED—Three good colored agents wanted. Apply between 5 p. m. and 8 p. m., 1810 North 5th street, (Branson Barber Shop.) Society Had Strict Rules of Propriety Years Ago A presentation to a lady in a public ballroom "for the mere purpose of dancing," as a book on etiquette of the '40s put it, did not carry with it the privilege of claiming her acquaintance subsequently. And "if a lady waltzed with you beware not to press her waist; you must only lightly touch it with the open palm of your hand." But as far as Madame Celnart was concerned, "the waltz is a dance of quite too loose a character, and unmarried ladies should refrain from it altogether both in public and private. Very young married ladies, however, may be allowed to waltz at private balls, if it is seldom and with persons of their acquaintance." If in 1844 one were "so unfortunate as to have contracted the low habit of smoking," one must practice it under certain restrictions "at least so long as you are desirous of being considered fit for civilized society." One must never smoke in the streets or in a theater, and one must never be seen in "cigar divans" or billiard rooms. As for tobacco chewing, "it is an abominable habit, and the splitting consequent upon it has been a matter of grave comment by all foreigners. What an article is a splittoon as an appendage to a handsomely furnished drawing room!" And when a man married it was understood that all former acquaintanceship ceased, "unless he intimated a desire to renew it by sending you his own and his wife's card."—Meade Minigerode, in the Saturday Evening Post. Heart of Another Color A county sexton in England officiated at a funeral clad in a red waistcoat. At the conclusion of the obsequies the vicar gently remonstrated with the old grave digger, saying: "Robert, you should not wear a red waistcoat at a funeral; you hurt the feelings of the mourners." Robert replied, placing his hand on his breast: "Well, what does it matter, sir, so long as the heart is black?" LEO MACHO, Plaintiff. By HENDERSON & JONES, Attorneys for Plaintiff. Attest: CARL W.

Allen, but he was busy and that very day he was getting ready to plant a fellow in the ground. These two men in question are some planters, believe me, honey. In to see Dr. H. Roger Williams, and he is one more busy man. He is looking after the sick and at the same time he is feeding the minds of the well and sick. He is writing poetry, and there was a great poem which he read January 1. I wish you could just read it. He is one busy man. I was delighted to drop in and have him read some to me, and then out to see others. I had the pleasure of going to the office of Miss Daisy E. Jackson, on South Water street. Have you ever met Miss Jackson? She is one of the most writingest young women in this country. She is what they call a skorthand writer, and has a public office in which she is kept busy all the time. So well up in the art until she has as her clients men of both races, and they are pleased with her work. She is also a norotious public or something like that. I may not have the name right, but she will have you hold up your hands and say "So help you God." I think they call it swearing but not the cussing kind. She has worked up a wonderful business right here in town, and it stands out as one business worth while. She is devoted to her mother, and will remain at home. She has had many flattering offers away from home, but is going to remain right there. Of course I was happy to visit this home, and got much good out of it. I want to congratulate her on the wonderful progress she is making. Out of Mobile into Tallahassee. I got to town just before the break of day and found that there was an automobile car carriage awaiting me to tote me up to the A. & M. college of Florida. Major W. H. A. Howard is the president. He succeeded Mr. Young, and you will believe me when I tell you he has had a heluva time since he has been there, but he has been able to knock the eye out of all of it and is doing his duty for the institution and for the race. He is one of the strong educators of this race of ours, and I am sure he is going to continue the good work carried on by President Young. There had been two fires since the school opened, but they will be restored and the good work is going right on. I congratulate him on the good he is doing there. I spent just one night in Live Oak, Florida, and left early next morning for Jacksonville, and Dr. John E. Ford met me at the station, but did not tote me to his home. He was willing to tote me anywhere else in his automobile car carriage, but not home. I do not know whether I had the smallpox or someone else, but if it had been at his home I did not get close enough to catch it. He toted me over to where Rev. L. M. Cheek was stopping and then got the brother who had spent so many years in Africa and is now working for the National B. Y. P. U. Board. He did tote us to a place for eats, but I did not eat except the grape fruit which Dr. Ford had purchased for me, and had it fixed by the lady. I made sure that I was going to eat dinner at his home, but did not smell the place where his dinner had been. Next found me headed for this place, St. Augustine. Here I am right now, and my mail will come here for a little while. Prof, N. W. Collier did not send to the stable to meet me in his automobile car carriage, so I got a man to tote me out there for one dollar, and they were delighted to have me come, and told me that I could just eat and sleep and rest all the time. Here is the Florida Normal and Industrial Institute, Prof. N. W. Collier, president, but I think I will have to devote a whole letter to this, hence will not say more now. Here we go, up and down, down and up, and Dr. W. H. Jernagin, president of the National Race Congress, came down here to pay his respects to me and we went to Jacksonville together. He had a big meeting there and the people turned out in large numbers to hear him tell about racial conditions. He is at present doing things and should be encouraged. It was wonderful to see him, to come in contact with him, to hear him tell the story of racial uplift and conflict.

Bootblack Refused to Work After Making $1.50 All afternoon the score of bootblacks in Washington square had annoyed the sitter on the bench with their, "Shine, Joe? Only fiva da cent." He swore that sudden death soon would be visited on one of the boys as a horrible example of the danger of overdrumming trade. As dusk settled over the square the young man suddenly remembered that he had an engagement with his prospective father-in-law at an uptown hotel. There might be a job in the interview. The father-in-law owned a large import business. Glancing at his brogue shoes, he discovered that they were gray with dust, a damning condition in view of the interview. There was just time for a shine. Most of the bootblacks had disappeared. Just one lone straggler was still to be found. "Here, boy, a quick shine," said the young man. But the boy, who had pestered him at 15-minute intervals throughout the afternoon, grinned and shook his head. "Not now, Joe," he said. "I make de dollar-a-half and I queet."—New York Mall. The Reason "Well, well, Uncle Heck!" saluted the able editor of the Tumilinville Torch of Liberty and Tocsin of the Times, "How does it happen that we so seldom see you in town nowdays?" "Well, I'll tell you," replied the veteran. "My eyesight has got so thundering poor, yur of late, that I kaln't skurcely see to dodge the fellers I'm owing or them that has been making talk about shooting me." He is indeed a mean man who will not add to a woman's happiness by telling her she is good looking. L. F. Van Zelm western Newspaper Union WHAT!
