(1) KANSAS ```markdown ``` Vol. XI BEN S. PAULEN, REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR GOVERNOR, MAKES CLEAR HIS POSITION ON KLAN ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW REGARDLESS OF ANY ORGANIZATION PEOPLE'S INTERESTS COME FIRST Topeka, Kans., Sept. 12—Ben S. Paulen, lieutenant governor and Republican gubernatorial nominee, yesterday issued a statement declaring the Democrats are endeavoring to drag the Klan issue into Kansas politics this fall in an effort to divert attention from the mistakes of the present Democratic administration, and the political issues of the campaign. At a barbecue at the Buchanan school in Topeka, July 12, Paulen made plain his position with regard to the Klan and all other organizations. Paulen Under No Obligations At that meeting he said: "There have been certain statements to the effect that I am a member of the Ku Klux Klan. I want to say those statements are untrue. If I am elected I shall be under no obligation to any clique or group of people and as governor of all the people of Kansas I shall see that the laws and rights of our citizens are fully enforced and protected without regard to race or religion." In his statement of yesterday Paulen amplified this declaration. The statement follows: "The national Republican platform to which I subscribe and which the state platform especially indorses makes no mention of the Klan by name, altho the advisability of doing so was thoroughly considered by the resolutions committee at the Republican national convention. Quotes Roosevelt's Stand. "The national Democratic platform makes no reference to the Klan by name although the matter was fully discussed in the resolutions committee and on the floor of that convention. "In my judgment and in the judgment of a majority of the resolutions committee of the party council of the Republican party held in Topeka, August 26, 1924, the Klan was not regarded as a political issue. "Theodore Roosevelt has said in substance: "That any political movement directed against any body of our fellow citizens because of their religious creed is a grave offense against American principles and American institutions; that it is wrong to either support or oppose a man because he is of the creed he professes. This applies to Jew and Gentile, to Catholic and Protestant, and to the man who would be considered as unorthodox by all of them alike." This is my position and I will exercise the full power of the executive to protect the rights of every individual. In Best Interests of All "In fact a candidate or party not in position to guarantee this kind of law enforcement does not deserve the slightest recognition or support. "As the Republican candidate for governor, I am not presuming that any individual or organization of individuals is going to violate the law, but should they do so while I am governor I shall use every power of my office to enforce the law and to punish the guilty party. "If elected govenror of the State of Kansas I shall conduct the office upon my conscientious judgment of what is to the best interests of the whole people of the State without regard to class, creed or color, and without regard to political, business or other affiliations. People's Interests Come First "It is perfectly obvious that an effort is being made by the Democrats to use the Klan—which everybody agrees should not be an issue—for the purpose of diverting attention from the real issues of the campaign in this State. As the Republican candidate for governor, I do not purpose that the attention of the voters shall be diverted from the maladministration of SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS. $1.50 PROF. A. J. NEELY ENTERS THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS A. J. Neely, who for many years was supervisor of the colored schools of this city and one of the West's great educators, has entered the real estate business with an office at 1003 Nebraska avenue. Mr. Neely is widely known in the two citys and his prominence and acquaintance of long standing, in this city, will be of much advantage to the success of his new business enterprise.

The many friends of Mrs. Sallie Bland were glad to see her back among us again, but regretted that sorrow and sadness accompanied her, as she brought the body of her son, Henry Claud Bland from Minneapolis where she went last March and nursed him until the 9th of August, when he passed away. She had cared for him night and day since going to his home. His mother witnessed the spirit in its flight on its heavenly march of her son. Mrs. Bland said the people there of every class and church were very, very kind and made things as pleasant for her as possible and were doing kind things all the time for her and her sick son. The deceased had been sick since last November. Mrs. A. S. Dow was able to be brought home Monday from Carthage, Mo. The Music School will have a fine program Sunday, September 14, at 1 p. m. Come.

Williams, Rev. Moseley, Mrs. H. D. Kemp, Mrs. Fitzhugh, Mrs. James, Mrs. Rosa Jones and others. Capt. Sherman Harvey attended the Executive Committee of the Kansas Political League, Saturday and remained until Sunday evening with relatives, Mrs. Mallie Jackson, and worshipped with them at their church, First A. M. E. Captain Harvey is a large farmer near Lawrence. State affairs by the Democratic party The real issues in this State are whether criminals, convicted by juries in our courts and sentenced to the penitentiary shall be paroled even before they reach the prison doors or released before the ends of justice have been satisfied; whether the State institutions shall continue to be prostituted to serve partisan purposes; whether the banks of the State shall continue to be the football of politics; and whether the real interests of the State shall continue to be subordinated to the political ambition of the present governor." KETNER CITY AN APPRECIATION O. J. H. FOREST B. ANDERSON I wish to thank my many friends and supporters for the loyal support which they gave me in my campaign for Representative. The colored race made a great fight. The result was nothing less than a landmark in the history of their progress. Without money or the aid of a well organized political machine, and in a four-cornered race against three white men, I am glad to report that I took second honors; in fact, it is believed by many that I actually won the nomination, but was defrauded out of it. I call attention to the article on the front page of our daily paper, the Kansan, on August 6th, the day after the election, in which it was said that Mr. Holbrook, the winning candidate, was only 35 votes ahead of me. I also call attention to how his majority rapidly increased to several hundred, even after all the precincts had come in. I have been considering contesting his election on the grounds of fraud, which accounts for my delay in making this announcement. From our investigation we found that considerable fraud was practiced, but the cost of exposing and prosecuting it would amount to over $3,000.00, which make the contest too expensive and burdensome for me to ask the colored race to assume, and still, I believe the prosecution of fraud as practiced in our campaigns, is just exactly what has got to be done sooner or later, before we will have any assurance that our candidates, white or colored, will be elected on merit, as they should be. I wish to especially thank the Monrovian Club, The Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the Citizens' Political League, for their valuable endorsements of my candidacy. They have set an example which other civic bodies might do well to emulate. FOREST B. ANDERSON. ADVOCATE DR. SHIELDS MOVES ON MINNESOTA AVENUE. Dr. M. D. Shields, dentist, has moved his office from Washington boulevard to 444 Minensota avenue. The doctor has a fine suite of rooms, beautifully decorated and furnished. Dr. Shields has drawn about him since coming here many substantial friends and has been quite active in all our civic affairs. He has a fine business as his office will show at any time. IN MEMORIUM In loving memory of our dear husband and father, Thomas B. Hall, who was called from our midst one year ago, September 4, 1923. He bade no one a last farewell. He said boodbye to none. His loving heart had ceased to beat Before we knew that he had gone; His cheerful smile and kindly ways We pleasantly recall, He had kinds words for everyone, And died beloved of all. On earth there is grief, In heaven rest; We miss him most, Who loved him best. Sadly missed MRS. BELLE HALL, Wife. MRS. CALDWELL and MRS. McLAURIAN, Daughters. Luther, son and grandchildren H. B. Bronson, pastor of Metropolitan Temple, and dean of the Central Baptist Theological Seminary, is attending the National Baptist Convention in Nashville, Tennessee.

Betwixt and Betwee THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER KANSAS POLITICAL LEAGUE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS The executive committee of the Kansas Political League held a meeting Saturday, September 6, in the office of the president, Dorsey Green, 516 Minnesota avenue. The business transacted was going over the results of the primary and the nominees. The League sponsored two statewide candidates in the Republican primary: Thos. Kennedy for State Auditor and J. H. Lee, as Presidential Elector, and while neither were nominated, they received a vote that in some state elections would have nominated. Representatives of the committee were present from Topeka, Olathe, Leavenworth, Lawrence and other counties in the state. Next meeting will be held Saturday, September 20, at 516 Minnesota avenue. DR. DAVIS AND PARTY TOURING Dr. A. Porter Davis of this city, his secretary, Miss Mazie Ross, his Electro Therapeutist, Miss Mattie Davis, and his chauffer, Mr. Charles Henry, left here August 28th and are touring in his big Mormon through Michigan, Illinois, Canada and will return by the way of Ohio and Kentucky. They are visiting all the larger cities and places of interest. Dr. Davis conducts an up-to-date hospital at 422 Minnesota avenue. SUMNER HIGH ENROLLS 371 Up to Thursday Sumner High school had enrolled 371 students, one more than at the same period last year. Principal Hodge says he expects a number of others to enroll next Monday. The cafeteria is said to be the finest and best equipped of any school in the city. The new gymnasium is in use and fills a long needed want, but is entirely too small for this growing school. Miss Alma Raymond, cousin of Mrs. C. E. Brooks, returned Sunday from her late home, Flint, Michigan, to continue her studies at Western University. Her many warm friends here were delighted to see Miss Raymond with us again.

McLane Doing Much for Young Men Washington, D. C., Sept. 11.—Will President Calvin Coolidge retain his happy home in the White House or will some other man take it? This is the question which must be settled next November, and believe me when I tell you, the time is not far off. Can we afford to trust another democrat? I see from the papers that many of our leading men are coming out for Davis for President of the United States, and in this number comes the name of W. H. Lewis, of Boston, Mass., and there is much being said or done about it. I am reminded of a few years ago when Bishop Walters, and a number of other men came out for Governor Woodrow Wilson, and it was said that he was all right. Many of my people flocked to him, but bless your soul honey, he was a great man, but we have not recovered yet from the segregation and other things under his administration. I have no unkind words for President Wilson, for he certainly did show a deep interest in me and mine. He found Hon. J. C. Napier register of the treasury, and he told him in so many words that the work was too hard for him, and asked him to take a rest. Ralph Tyler, fourth auditor of the United States navy, was asked to rest; Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds was asked to rest, and that same W. H. Lewis, assistant United States attorney general, was asked to rest—in fact every one of us who held an appointment in like manner was asked to rest, because he thought it would kill our representative men to work too hard. President Harding was not killed with hatred, and he called only a few in, but then it has been some better. Mr. Davis may be all right, but I am afraid of his party, and I have but one vote and I will drop it in next November for Coolidge and Dawes, and it will be counted accordingly, but I will not talk about these things now, for I am going to study conditions and will have more to say later. Here I am this week in the District of Columbia, known as near the White House, and I am on the eve of the National Baptist convention, and before you can read this letter the convention will be drawing to a close, and it will be on record as one of the greatest meetings in the history of the Baptists. Those who attend will have much to say about the great building, the home of the Sunday School Publishing Board. I will have something to say in my next letter about the convention and what it accomplished. We have given to the world some great men, and you may not know them. Men are doing great things, and yet they do not get in the papers. It has been my lot to give you the names of some of them from time to time, and if you will take time and read, I want to tell you about one now that is filling an important place in this country, and he is helping men, pointing them upward. I now have in mind Joseph S. McLane, headwaiter of the Grand Union Hotel, Saratoga Springs, N. Y., and one of the Royal Ponciana Hotel, Palm Beach, Florida. I have been to Saratoga Springs, and it has fallen my lot to study this genius, this leader of men, and it would be of interest to you to know him and how he is doing things. Every year he has under him four or five hundred men and women of every kind of temperament and disposition, and then he has the looking after of all kinds of hotel guests, rich and poor, high and low—men who have their millions, and men who get together enough money to make a trip and spend one or two days in a year in a real big, first-class hotel. These people must all be pleased. I would call J. S. McLane, General McLane, at the head of a great army, and these soldiers, known as waiters have in their hands the making of the name of the hotel, for man's eats determines his opinion of the place wherein he eats, and his opinion will have much to do with whether your eating place lives or dies. Hence it is up to Headwaiter McLane to select Number 4 (Continued on page 3.) PAGE TWO THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Proprietor. THOS. KNAPPER Associate Editor MRS. M. C.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Takes Time to Read Bible Thirty students at Seattle Wash., read the whole Bible without stopping and found that it requires 59 hours and 20 minutes for a cover-to-cover careful out-loud enunciation of it with no stopovers to eat or sleep. The experimenters worked in relays, two at a time, one reading a chapter, the other the next without a pause. Each kept at it two hours, then was relieved. Easier Than Before "Father is pleased to hear you are a poet." "Is he?" "Oh, very—the last of my sweet-hearts he tried to throw out of the house was a football player."—London Tit-Bits. Production Age A new church in a small town is considerable of an event and the progress of the contractor is closely watched by every member of the community. In our town we ceased talking of the "church building" and referred to it as the "church plant." Some even dropped the "church," so what was more natural to the stranger who heard it thus described to conclude it was a manufacturing plant. "What is going to be made in the new plant?" he asked the small son of his host. The little fellow hesitated, looked inquiringly from his father to his mother, but gained no inspiration from either. Finally he took the plunge on his own: "We're going to make 1924 model Christians."—Houston Post. The Parist at Large We direct the attention of our grammar sharps to the flat statement by the editor of the London Saturday Review that "there are no such words in English as 'rellable' and 'laughable,' and no scrupulous writer would use them or any 'similar compounds of 'able' with intransitive verbs." The above dictum was brought out by a letter from a correspondent who said that the late Provost of Trinity college, Dublin, did not like the word "rellable," and one day at lunch observed that since you cannot rely a thing, the adjective should be "rely-on-able." "That," replied a friend present, "is a very laugh-at-able remark."—Boston Transcript. Airplane Patrol In order to conserve Ontario's forest wealth and to protect the lumbering and paper industry, in which $75,000,000 is invested, the Ontario government has bought an airplane fleet, consisting of 13 machines, to patrol the timber areas and detect fires in their incipient stages. The planes are also to be used to make a survey of Ontario's forest wealth, with a view to checking up on the timber concessions and seeing that the government is obtaining sufficient return from them, and also with a view to determining the amount of reforestation needed. Two Fish Stories A chronicler at Edmonton, Alberta, reports that a trout 42 inches long and weighing 37 pounds has been taken from Lake Minnewanka at Banff. A Brandon (Manitoba) report says that an angler on the Assiniboine river caught a pickerel and a muskallonge on one hook at the same time. He was in the act of hauling out the pickerel when a muskallonge swallowed it, and the angler landed both. The muskallonge was 40 inches long and welged 17 pounds.

CHURCH NEWS BISHOP GREGG DELIVERS GREAT SERMON First church carried its usual large Sunday morning congregation including many strangers and visitors. The speaker was Rt. Rev. John A. Gregg, one of the new bishops elected last May, and was assigned to South Africa, who will sail soon for his new post of duty. Bishop Gregg is a power in the pulpit and his sermon Sunday morning, "Christ High Over All," was one of great depth, to the soul of mankind. It was logical, scholarly and above all, the spirit of Christ shone out in the very countenance of his audience. One came forward and said they wanted to serve that man, who was "High Over All." Others joined, also. Dr. W. C. Williams, pastor at Omaha, Nebraska, worshipped at First church at the 11 o'clock service. Tonight Friday will be the last love feast this conference year. The presiding elder Dr. Osborne, will be present and have charge. If you have not kept up with the budget system this year, your dollar money and quarterage is due. You can pay tonight or before quarterly conference Monday night. Get your name on the dollar money roll, or you name will not appear in the conference minutes for this year. Sabbath school with its fine orchestra and the great corps of teachers, are having fine and interesting lessons every Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. The attendance is good and the scholars are anxious to get there every Sunday. Quarterly meeting Sunday. Come out and hear a great sermon by the presiding elder. Communion at 3:00 p. m. and a big day's closing for the Master at 7:30 p. m. sermon, Rev. W. T. Osborn, presiding elder. Tell your friends and neighbors to come and see the salvation of the Lord. Every one is welcome at First church. Poetry is the handmald to imagination and fancy. When the guest is most in favor he will do well to quit. He who will have no judge, but himself condemns himself. What man is proof against the loud unanimous laugh aimed at him? An old house requires constant repairs; so, also, an old man. Doubt is an excellent thing to keep a man from being arrogant. "There's no use talking," is the preliminary to a good deal of it. Petitions would be more effective, if the people would only vote as well as sign. A man who likes you can lead you a long way in the direction you don't want to go. Unsleest and cheapest thing to dispense is praise; and the dividends are always good. You can make a solid friend of a boy by paying him twice as much as he expected. Some complain of not being understood and some don't want to be—and resent prying. Perhaps one don't want to be a hero, but every one wants to be regarded as capable of the role. One with wealth who cares not for the game of producing wealth misses half the pleasure of wealth.

The Sunday school was well attended at 9:45 a. m. and at 11 a. m., after a special quartet in the choir, sang, "In Thy Love," so sweetly. Pastor Bronson preached a most wonderful sermon from Luke 4:16, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. He has appointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor." He likened the Word of God to the vitamines of Eternal Life, and advised sinners not to reject Christ, for fear it may be too late. Some shouted and at the close some joined church. The B. Y. P. U. was very good. At 8 p. m. Mr. Fitchue led the congregation in those beautiful old hymns. One, "I Want to See Jesus," started some to praising God before the excellent sermon by our pastor. When he preached, "What Think Ye of Christ?" some of the multitude shouted so he had to stop preaching. After the great sermon some converts were baptized. Then the Lord's Supper was administered and many souls renewed their covenant, and they sang a hymn and went out like Christ, and His disciples did over 1924 years ago.

PICKENS Drexel 3162 421 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas SENATE BILL NO. 559. (L. 1923, ch. 211.) An Act relating to compensation for veterans of the war with Spain, the Philippine insurrection and the China relief expedition. Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas: Section 1. There shall be submitted to a vote of the electors of this state at the general election to be held in the year 1924, the following act, which shall appear upon the ballot as "An act relating to compensation for veterans of the war with Spain, the Philippine insurrection and the China relief expedition," and the vote for and against such proposition shall be taken as provided by law. "An Act relating to compensation for veterans of the war with spain, the Philippine insurrection and the China relief expedition. " "Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas; "Section 1. The state of Kansas acknowledges its indebtedness to and promises to pay to each person, who was a resident of the state of Kansas at the time of entering the service, who served during the war with Spain or the Philippine insurrection, or the China relief expedition in any branch of the army, navy or marine corps of the United States prior to July 4, 1902, and who was honorably discharged therefrom, the sum of one dollar ($1) per day of his or her service during such period, which compensation shall be in addition to all pay and allowances made by the United States government; Provided, however, That no person shall receive more than six hundred dollars ($600) as his entire compensation under this act. "Sec. 2. No person shall receive any pay under this act for any service performed prior to the declaration of war with Spain by the United States government, or subsequent to July 4, 1902; and no person shall be entitled to receive compensation under the provisions of this act who did not declare the state of Kansas to be his or her place of residence at the time of his or her entering the service. "Sec. 3. The governor, secretary of state and state auditor are hereby authorized and directed to issue bonds of the state of Kansas in a sum not exceeding one million dollars ($1,000,-000), to provide funds for the purpose set out in section 1 hereof and to pay the expenses of the administration of this act: Provided, That such bonds may be issued in installments from time to time in such amounts and upon such terms as may be necessary to meet the payments of compensation as the same are allowed. Such bonds shall bear interest not to exceed five per cent (5%), and such bonds or the portion thereof at any time issued shall be made payable at the treasury of the state of Kansas, or in the city of New York, such bonds shall be made payable in twenty-five (25) --- equal installments, the first of which shall be payable one (1) year after date of issue and the last of which shall be payable twenty-six (26) years after the date of issue, and they shall be sold to the highest bidder for not less than par; Provided, however, That the governor, secretary of state and state auditor are hereby authorized for the purpose of this act only, to designate a sub-fiscal agency in the city of New York, to the extent that same may be necessary to provide for the prompt payment of all bonds and coupons issued under this act, payable by their terms at a sub-fiscal agency in the city of New York. "Sec. 4. There is hereby levied upon all the taxable property of the state of Kansas an annual tax sufficient to pay the interest on such bonds and the principal thereof, as they may become due; and the proceeds of such taxes are hereby appropriated to the payment of such principal and interest. Sec. 5. There is hereby created a board consisting of the governor, secretary of state and the state auditor and the adjutant general of the state, which board is hereby charged with the administration of this law; and it shall, within thirty (30) days after the taking effect of this act, make, establish and publish rules and regulations providing for the proof of claims made under this act, and for the method of payment of the same, and they are hereby authorized, in the general administration of this law, to establish other rules and regulations; Provided, That upon any questions upon which said board may be equally divided, then such questions shall be determined by the governor, the secretary of state and state auditor, without the vote of the adjutant general. "Sec. 6. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its publication in the official state paper." Sec. 2.

Call Fair- fax 0380 Or 4422 THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE J. O. MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page 1.) men who are to serve, and in this he is an expert. He knows human nature in all of its forms, and then he is acquainted with men. He exercises care in selecting men. In this nuber he has college graduates, students, especially in New York—men who are getting ready to take positions in life in the professional world. His first aim is to recognize a man as a man, and he is not a man driver, but he manages all of his men with love, and with the spirit of the Christ. To him every waiter is a gentleman, and is thus treated. Now he is a christian man, and that is another advanced step. He is fatherly to every man who works under him, and so conducts his business. Like a general before going into battle, he holds a conference with his leaders or officers, and then he has his men assemble before breakfast, and talks with them. He tells them of their duty, tells of the guests in the hotel, the importance of each man and what he represents. He points out to them the importance of furnishing thought in their work. He believes that a man should use his head for more than a mere hat rack. He tells them about their habits, and urges each man to take care of his own body. He speaks of the candle lighted at both ends and how soon it burns out. So with man who fails to take proper rest, tells how his life flickers out. He carries with him a minister, and always conducts prayer service, and Sunday evenings a sermon. Not only this, but he gets hold of the best available men to come and speak—or lecture as you may call it to the men. All of this keeps the men in good trim and they render good service, and that is why Joseph S. McLane is considered a great head waiter. But that is not all, this man has saved his money, and is a large real estate owner, and then he is a contributor to education and missions. No worthy cause ever gets a black eye when presented to him. He assists worthy students, and himself has paid the expenses of deserving students. Not only this, but he furnished two rooms in the Florida Normal and Industrial Institute, St. Augustine, Florida, and every year his men raise large amounts of money for this institution and others. This is a man you did not know of and I am presenting him to you. He is accompanied by his wife, and he has his own automobile car carriage and his spare time is spent with his wife. From this you will see that I have been to Saratoga Springs and I have stood at the place where General Grant stood prior to his death, on the mountain and looked over the valley, before his spirit returned to the God who gave it, and then I have seen and been in his home, the place where he spent his last days, and I have seen some of the hats he wore, the shoes, his pipe, his clothes—in fact I have been going some in this country. I have returned to the city of Saratoga Springs, been handed by some of the people, visited New York City, and to my surprise found a new bride in Bethel parsonage. Rev. Montrose W. Thornton, has taken unto himself a bride. She is an intellectual young woman. She did not know me exactly—hence—well I am not going to tell you now. I did not get to see Dr. Thornton. His mother was as usual. I have visited Philadelphia, and had the pleasure of coming in touch with that great educator, and now a financial genius, Major R. R. Wright, who is a president of a bank and a man who has signed more diplomas for our people than perhaps any other one living man today. He spent fifty years in the school room, and is now spending his last days in the business world. To know him is to love him. I spent as much time as I could in his company. I am sure you will be glad to know that Major Wright has furnished to the world some great children, and his son, R. R. Wright Junior, is editor of the Christian Recorder and is on his road to the Episcopacy of the African Methodist Episcopal church. You know him and his good work. Now here I am in Washington as I have told you, and I am seeing a few things. Lett-Carey Missionary Baptist convention was in session here this week, and many other things. I wish I could just tell you all I have in my mind and then it would not be necessary for me to write any more. I have made a trip to Richmond, and had the pleasure of seeing Hon. John Mitchell, Jr., editor of the Planet. I am glad to inform you that he is getting ready to open the bank at an early day. He is indeed a wonderful man. He has served his race and served well. I will have to bring this letter to a stop. J; O. MIDNIGHT. PUBLICATION NOTICE In the District Court of Wyandatte County, Kansas. James H. Anderson, Jonathan M. Davis, Frank Ryan, Norton A.

Men have been known to carry buckeyes or horsechestnuts as charm against rheumatism, and other evils, and it is known that a rabbit's foot keeps Dame Fortune at the shoulder of a man. Some men are so particular that they insist that it shall be the right-hind foot of a graveyard rabbit killed at midnight in a certain phase of the moon, but it is admitted that it is well to have any kind of a rabbit's foot in one's pocket. Nobody doubts that a horseshoe nalled with the heels up brings good luck and that a horseshoe is more effective in attracting luck than an automobile tire. In the northeast corner of the United States a bayberry candle "brings luck to the house." There are also lucky penniles and lucky shillings. Our ancestors knew that a twig of mistletoe hung outside the door would keep demons from entering at Yuletide and a twig of mistletoe hung on the chandelier still brings good luck to many girls. Nobody doubts that breaking a looking glass will be followed by seven years of bad luck. Indians Had Apple Trees of Large Size Those hardy surveyors, Scull and Lukens, who went up into what is now Pike county, about two centuries ago were amazed. They found there seven gigantic apple trees. They were remains of an Indian orchard, and the trees were far larger than any then existing in or near Philadelphia. That was the chief rendezvous of Tom Quick, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. He was a Wandering Jew Indian killer. For the death of a member of his family he vowed in youth that he would kill 100 Indians. Before his death he admitted, or boasted, that his vow had been made good and he laid away his old rifle and shortly afterward died. A tourist notes up there a picturesque bit of big business. The D. & H. canal is carried across the Delaware river on a fine stone aqueduct, which if you saw its equal near Rome would cause you to take off your hat to the glories of that ancient empire. His Lucky Time Brown was interviewing candidates for the job of gardener. The one before him did not seem promising, but Brown thought he would give him a chance. "Er—how long were you in your last place?" he asked." Off his guard, the applicant replied, "A month, sir." "Eh? That's not very long! And the one before that?" "Three months, sir," replied the applicant, boldly. "That's better, now. And the time before that?" The applicant drew himself up proudly as he said: "There wasn't no time before that, sir; I got off with a fine." Extravagance Old Hen Roddy, from Hogskin Hollow, is fond of boasting of his amazing thriftiness by virtue of which he has accumulated a fairly substantial bank account. "You're very careful about your expenditures, aren't you, Uncle Hen?" the village schoolmaster asked one day. "Yes, perfesser, I'm right smart thataway.
