The' Dead Man Was on His Way to a Revival Meeting When Accosted by the Three Officers On Tuesday evening between 8 and 9 o'clock while Dr. M. D. Shields, one of the city's popular colored dentists, was supposed to be on his way to a revival meeting at Twelfth street and Ann avenue, was accosted on Minnesota avenue, in the ten hundred block, by three policemen in a car, who claim they had received a call from a Mr. Dye at 1031, this block of a prowler about his house and the doctor happened to just arirve at this point on going to church. They halted him and claim he drew a gun, when one or more of the three fired two shots into his body. He was taken to Douglass hospital where he died at 12:45 Wednesday morning. The officers further claimed he was coming out of the yard of Mr. Dye who they say sent in the call, but on investigation Wednesday- Mr. Dye said he had not sent in any call, as he A BIG POLITICAL MEET.

Clayborne's grocery store, corner of Washington Blvd., and Tenth street and in the usual way demanded no interference while they removed from the cashier's desk $75.00. Mr. Clayborne was out at the time and his wife, Mrs. Clayborne, and Mr. Montgomery, were the only ones in the store at the time. The officers captured all three of the stick-ups Sunday morning and found part of the money on them. It is probably that two of them will be sent to the boys' reformatory at Hutchinson, and one to the state prison at Lansing. The class leaders of the A. M. E. churches of the city held a fine afternoon meeting Sunday at Trinity church, 4th street and Stewart avenue. Rev. Mr. Winston, pastor. Little Gladys Greer is still at Wheatley hospital.

Dr. Shields and his family moved here from Texas about two years ago and immediately purchased a nice piece of property at 427 Washington boulevard. His office is at 444 Minnesota avenue. Lawyer Manning, Comagers and Kyle, real estate dealers also have offices on the same floor. Dr. Shields was said to be among the best dentists in the city and had a fine business. He was rated as one of our best citizens and was a regular attendant to his church. He was an honest, peaceful citizen and some one was too hasty and the police department should satisfy the public as to who was responsible for the death of this husband and father. It is regretted by all fair minded people that such a tragic death came to this honorable business citizen. He is survived by a lovely wife, Mrs. Addie Shields and six bright intelligent children, five boys and one girl, the latter being in High school. The family have the deepest sympathy of the many friends they have made since coming to the city. DIAMOND REAL ESTATE COMPANY HOLDS NINTH ANNIVERSARY SATURDAY. The Diamond Real Estate Company, 547 State avenue, celebrated its Ninth anniversary in business Saturday, hours from 9 a. m. to 6 p. m.

Mrs. Hornbeak and Miss Mary McClelland were at the punch bowl. Mr. Geo. McClelland, the president, and his son, Walter McClelland, who is associated with his father, did the handshaking and entertained the guests. A phonograph with popular music had its share of entertainment to those calling. The room was lovely decorated with ferns, potted plants and cut roses. This real estate company is one of the finest and best fitted up of any in the city, regardless of color. Mr. McClelland owns the building. Mrs. Belle Hall, 1000 Walker avenue, is on the sick list of which her many friends regret to know. W. T.

What de mat-tah wid you now—What's de holler? It air Uncle Ike er gin. Umph—well den—Well what yo got now? I jess wants ter say, that The Civic League will meet Tuesday evening the 18th, at its rooms over the Home Drug store, and every member is expected to be in his place. The meeting will be of unusual importance, as the line of work will be mapped out, and the many new matters and things which claim attention will be up for consideration. Committees will be re-vamped and filled, and subjects assigned them for work. ATTENTION — GENTLEMEN — Do not wait to see what is done—or what is not done. But do YOUR DUTY AND COME, and lend a hand in doing what should be done. Nor heed the siren sound, "That nothing can be done" but rather be imbued with the notion that "If we will give to the world the best we have—then the best will come back to us." Our Greeting—Hard work—Plenty uv it. and Success. (Uncle Ike) I. F. BRADLEY, Pres., C. I. JONES. Sec. MRS. C. E. BROOKS ENTERTAINS DOUGLASS HOSPITAL CLUB. The Douglass hospital club was entertained last Friday afternoon by Mrs. C. E. Brooks, at the parsonage, 1111 North Eighth street. A large number were present and much business was transacted in the interest of this charitable institution. After the business of the club, Mrs. Brooks served a fine appetizing luncheon to the members. The next meeting will be held at Mrs. Lindsay Taylors, 114? Grandview Blvd., Friday, November 21. Miss Bertha Garrett, Grand Secretary of Sunflower Grand Court of Calante, Knights of Pythias of Leavenworth, has been reported to this office, as being quite sick at her home. Miss Garrett has many friends here who will greatly regret to hear of her illness and will maintain a hope she may soon recover. Dr. Clyde Alexander, one of our young promising physicians, has moved his office to the Home Drug Company building, 1512 North Fifth street. Dr. Alexander is a graduate of Mahary Medical College, Nashville, Tenn., and spent one year as interne in the Old City hospital on the Missouri side. The doctor is a good mixer and makes friends on first acquaintance. Dr. S. M. Banks was taken quite ill last week and is at Douglass hospital where he is resting, but not doing so well. YOU KNOW ID LIKE TO BE-A PIRATE LIKE CAPTAIN KIDD First A. M. E. Church. Being one of those who have participated in that day several times, I have learned fully how to appreciate it. I believe our whole community ought to do the same. We feel that our Editor, through our Advvocate, will do full justice to the occasion, but we thought it well to have an expression from the recipients. After we had gone through the morning service and dispensed with the wonderful dinner we went among the old people, shook their hands, asked their names, and inquired if they were enjoying themselves. They were unanimous in their praises. All were happy and loud in their praise for both the services and their dinner. Therefore we take the liberty to speak with and for them and say it was a glorious treat. It touched a tender chord in my heart when in the morning we came in sight of the church and saw the great line of cars parked there. They had been used to bring the halt, the lame and the blind. They were invited guests such as the good Lord himself used to invite. After hearing a very inspiring sermon by our returned pastor, Rev. Brooks, we were permitted to examine ourselves and partake of the Lord's supper. It was a great feast. The songs were soul stirring. The power of the spirit was evident. There was much rejoicing, the kind that can not be suppressed. After all had eaten to their satisfaction of the splendid free dinner given them by our ever faithful Pastor's Aid Board. There was ample time for meeting old friends and making new ones before going in to the afternoon services. The speaking meeting was the time when all could take a part. Those who did not talk could listen and we think all were blessed. The sermon by Mrs. Rev. John Beard was good from the beginning to the end. So many good thoughts were given us. We look upon the day as being another mile post. Some of us will fall, no doubt, before we reach the next one. It was old people's day, but we were glad to see so many young people present. One thing I have thought of seriously is the fact that the young man who brought his car for me was so kind and so careful with such an expression of delight and yet a sinner. I am praying for him and I want everyone who shall read this to pray for him that he may be soon converted and come into the Lord's service. Dear Pastors' Aid Board and everyone who assisted in any way to make the occasion a success, we thank you and give God the glory. Bishop W. T. Vernon, Mrs. Vernon and Mrs. Lander, the bishop's sister, of Quindaro, worshipped at First A. M. E. church at the morning service, Sunday. First church is always glad to have the bishop and family in its services. THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER . THADDEUS STEVENS. A letter received by lawyer Dorsey Green from J. B. Hipple, editor of The Press, Kansas City, Kansas, while visiting in the East: I repose in this quiet and sequestered spot Not from any natural preference for solitude But finding other cemeteries limited as to race by chartered rule I have chosen this that I might illustrate in my death The principles which I advocated through a long life— Equality of man before His Creator. The above inscription is engraved on the marble tomb of Thaddeus Stevens, earnest advocate of the emancipation and enfranchisement of the colored race; born in Vermont, 1793; died in Washington, D. C., 1868; in Schriner's cemetery, Lancaster, Pa. He represented the Lancaster district in Congress, was chairman of the Ways and Means committee during the Civil war and when a young man made a speech as representative in the legislature of Pennsylvania, which turned a majority elected to repeal the public school law into a minority, saving the school system of the state. An inscription on the walls of the Stevens house, Lancaster, in a tablet presented by the city of Lancaster, records his courage and ability on the floor of the state legislature. A post card of the grave was mailed to you on a recent visit to my home county. On my infrequent visits East I always visit the tomb of the Great Commoner as he is best known. J. B.

The election is over, and here I am in this part of the world, but I am here on a sad mission. One by one we are dropping one of the world, and this time it is Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle, Grand Worthy Counsellor of the Grand Court of Calanthe, of Alabama, and just three hours after she had entered the Great Beyond Wednesday evening, September 5, at 5:07 o'clock Dr. W. H. Mixon left us from Selma, Ala. When I wrote to you last the election was going on, and as I told you President Calvin W. Coolidge and Charles W. Dawes would be elected and they were. They just walked the dog and left poor other fellows getting off the puppy's tail. It was what was called a landslide, and we all rejoice in this success. I told you that it was going to be and it was just as I said because I was sure that the people could not afford to take seriously any man who would fool with the constitution of the United States, and do away with the Fourteenth Amendment to the federal constitution. They just told Mr. John W. Davis, to rest a little longer and Senator LaFollette to go way back and sit down, "We ain't studying you." Of course both of them will have to obey, and the country is going to enjoy four years of real prosperity. I voted in Chicago, and then I got myself together, because Dr. George Cleveland Hall, that great physician and surgeon of Chicago, one of the finest and best in this country, had ordered me to go to bed, and the way I went to St. Louis. Found that automobile car carriage of Poro college, known as Pierce Arrow awaiting to tote me to the college, and found my room and bed ready for me. Had breakfast with Prof. Aaron E. Malone, and then to my room. It was a real fine sleep for me, and in the evening I went with them to a meeting of a group of workers for charity. I think they called it "Community Chest." I don't know what all this was or for what it stood, but I do know that they were preparing to raise some money. They sat around a long table where ates were served and they discussed big things that will be done. I listened with much interest to all this. In anything that is for the betterment of the people you will find Mrs. Malone right there, and ready and will serve, and he is found by her side. Prof. Frank L. Williams, principal of the high school was one of the numb and some other representative men and women. When they were through eating and listened to some remarks they all looked to the Lord and were dismissed to meet again in a few days to do more great things. I went to the Tabernacle Baptist church. I heard that Charles Stewart was going to talk there, so I just went with him, and heard Prof. Aaron E. Malone make the first speech, and then Stewart followed. I enjoyed these talks much. When it was all over then I went to the Poro college, to seek my usual bed, but, honey, believe me when I got there I found a telegram from Birmingham, Ala., signed by Mrs. F. Cosy-Blevins, announcing the death of Mrs. Carria A. Tuggle, the Grand Worthy Counselor. Now the next day, I was found in bed, and took it easy until it was time for the graduation of young lady at Poro college, and this was Miss Mildred Adams, of St. Louis, another Poro graduate, and one more to help swell the thousands of workers and graduates. She is prepared in her line, and will soon hang out her shingle as benefactor to humanity. This was the twenty-fifth Commencement. The exercises consisted of chorus, Negro National hymn; reading, Miss Bertha Stewart; vocal solo, Miss Ruth Minor; recitation, Miss Mildred Adams; selection, "Majestic Overture" Poro orchestra; recitation, "Keep Itchin," Miss Esther Wallace; vocal solo, Mrs. Helene Wilkins; presentation of class by Miss Esthelle Thomas; diplomas awarded by Miss Annie M. Malone; remarks by Prof. Aaron E. Malone, and vocal solo by Edward Bolden. (Continued on page 4.) --- PAGE TWO THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Proprietor. THOS.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Locomotive Whistles Crossings are made unnecessarily dangerous and millions of dollars' worth of steam is wasted annually by whistles now used on leading railroads in America, says Prof. Arthur L. Foley of Indiana university, according to Popular Science Monthly for November. The whistle should be placed in front of the smokestack, he declared, and should have a reflector behind it. In addition, it should be raised in pitch. Professor Foley estimates that the ordinary locomotive wastes 35 pounds of steam and 140 pounds of water an hour in whistling, and asserts that most of the whistles are from one to two octaves too low in pitch to be heard to best advantage. Find Old Roman Mint The site of a Roman mint was discovered near Portishead, on the Somerset sea coast, when R. E. Godwin dug up 4,000 coins, which are believed to have been made by the Romans during the period they occupied England. They are in excellent preservation, and date from 22 A. D., 21 years before the Roman conquest of Britain to 400 A. D., just before the final evacuation. The field where they were found was used by the ancient Britons as a camp, and this camp afterward was taken over by the Romans. Valuable Tract of Land A strip of land around Barnesville Minn. which extends from there to the Canadian border, a distance of about 300 miles, is said to be the largest area of rich black soil all in one stretch in the entire United States.

THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH Located Cor Eighth and Nebraska. C. E. BROOKS, Pastor. Parsonage 1111 N. Eighth St. Phone, Fairfax 2904 WEEKLY SERVICES. Official Board, 2nd and 4th Monday, 7:30 P. M. Choir rehearsal, Tuesday 7:30 P.M. Wednesday, prayer meeting, 7:80 P. M. Friday class meeting 8 P. M. CHURCH NEWS Services were well attended Sunday and many visitors were at the 11 o'clock meeting. Rev. C. E. Brooks, pastor, filled his pulpit, although he was not physically strong. He delivered his sermon under a great strain of the body, but it was spiritually strong and brought many hallelujahs and amens. Eight joined the church at the morning service. Bishop W. T. Vernon opened the doors of the church and his plea to those out of the church and his leading an old Wesley hymn aroused the entire congregation. Rev. Mr. Davis, a Western University student, preached well at the evening service. Sunday school at 9:30 was well represented and a fine lesson was studied and discussed by the pupils and teacher The Sabbath school orchestra under Professor Wise adds greatly to the interest and attendance with their excellent musical program. The Allen Christian Endeavor League rendered one of its enjoyable programs at 6:30. Many visitors and strangers attend the league each Sunday evening. The official board of the church held its monthly meeting Monday evening with the pastor presiding. A goodly number were present and some very important business transacted. If you have no church home, First church invites you to come and get in the family of your choice. Class meeting tonight and every Friday night—come and see what a great spiritual feast awaits you. Come tonight. Come to the services Sunday and hear the word of God. Two fine choirs. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev. E. M. Moseley, Pastor. The members and friends who make up our congregation of religious worshippers were very much pleased on our last weekly service day. The pastor preached a good sermon. The choir was diligent in giving our service good singing and music. The prayer services were spiritual and all seemed to enjoy them wonderfully. The pastor's text, St. Luke 2, 7, subject "Trying to Crowd Jesus Out." He proved that God's plans are so deep that man's devices cannot crowd them out. And also God's spirit can not be crowded out of men's hearts today. The night services were spiritual also. There will be a weekly service carried on every night next week by the Auxiliaries. The B. Y. P. U. had a good service at 5 p. m. They are doing fine in their work. Our sick are better. Deacon F. Wilson has been very sick, but is up. Many others who were sick, are improving. The pastor's text, subject, Sunday night, was "Witness for Jesus. He preached a good sermon. The Foreign Missionary from Africa made a great demonstration and lecture. Pray for the sick and distressed. Go to church. Read the Advocate. Bores "Once a bore, always a bore," says Irving Cobb in Heurst's International "When a man speaks of himself, invariably he is interested, for he has what to him is the most fascinating topic on earth; but how rarely does he succeed in being interesting to the audience! Take the average confirmed egotist, whether he be an after-dinner speaker, a chronic candidate for office or a mere lay worker, and harken to him as he studs his conversation with capital Ts, planting them in thicker and ever thicker as he goes along, and what do we get? A mental picture of a picket fence extending all the way around a vacant lot—that's what we get." Whales Have Gone Captain Scammon, a noted authority on whaling, estimated, according to Nature Magazine, that about 1853, 30,000 gray whales were on the California coast. During the period from 1919 to 1922 only one was captured there. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES A large congregation heard Pastor Bronson preach Sunday, November 9. The preliminary worship was congregational singing, led by Mr. Fitchue, assisted by the Senior choir. I surrender all and amazing grace were sung beautifully. The choir sang a classic anthem, "Behold God Almighty." Dr. Bronson preached the text "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so, must the Son of Man be lifted up." Many enjoyed the sermon greatly. Several pupils from the Blind Institution were present, and are asked to be on program sometime. Some present united with the church. The Sewing Circle president was presented with a receipt in full for leading her club and others to pay $695 for the Moquette velvet carpet. Mrs. M. C. Matthews presented the receipt to Mrs. Jennings with an appropriate poem, which was cheered right out loud in church. Rev. Norfleet was present and other ministers. The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. were well attended. Again they had the Publicity Committee to give a poem before Group No. 5. The people of this city certainly keep this poetess very busy. At night the services were fine and largely attended. Next Sunday, November 16, the pastor or some noted preacher will preach. Come to Metropolitan, which has nice crowds and someone joining all the time. WESTON, MO. Those who attended the Second Baptist church Sunday, November 9, were glad to be there! The religious services opened early Sunday morning after prayer services. The pastor, Rev. J. S. Bowles, sang A Charge to Keep I Have a God to Glorify. The pastor then took his text from John 3rd Chapter and 3rd Verse. Subject, Ye must be born again. The main theme was New Birth. The pastor preached a splendid sermon. Sunday School was good, well attended. Address by Pastor Bowles. Evening Services were good and well attended. Spirit was high, everyone seemed to enjoy the services. Pastor preacher one more good sermon, subject, "The Day of God's Rath Upon the Wicked." Rev. 6 Chapter, 17th Verse. The pastor endeavored to show to the sinner that he is living a dangerous life. He also spoke to the backslider and careless livers, which made a great impression upon all those present. Collection was good. We are quite proud to say that the church has a new furnace. Quite a number attended services from Platte City, which we was indeed glad to have them worship with us. We are glad that Sister Cox is up again. Our Revival begins the fourth Sunday in November, leading up to Thanksgiving services. Pray for our success, if you want to attend good services, come to Weston. I want to say I attended the Glee club male choir of 34 men at Walnut Blvd church, which Professor Cornelius Daniels is director. It was just fine, well Professor Daniels just knows how to put things over and he is a busy man always someone looking for that wideawake young man. We should be proud of such young men. Mrs. Bowles wishes to thank Sister Sarah Dydell for those good apples and pears and says she sure enjoyed them. Sister Dydell and Sister Cox reminds me of good Dorcus and Ruth.

Great Inventor's Garret The garret in Heathfield hall, near Birmingham, England, in which James Watts, the man who did so much to develop the steam engine, conducted his experiments, may find its way to South Kensington museum. Negotiations are now proceeding to this end. Watts first came to Birmingham about 1768. He died in 1819. The room in which he worked was locked after his death and was not opened for many years. His tools, benches, even the leather apron in which he worked and which hung in the same spot in which he put it, have been undisturbed. The estate is being developed by a building syndicate, and if the negotiations are successful the room will be transferred bodily to London. Army Seeks Nonskid Mule Whether to equip the army mule with vacuum cup or nifty tread horseshoes, or to go a step further and encircle his hazardous hoofs with an equine adaptation of balloon tires, is a problem perplexing the best brains of the United States army, by reason of the automobile's oily usurpation of the roads. It is either a nonskid shoe-for the old reliable government mule, or his displacement by motor-driven equipment-Outlook. GATHERED WISDOM The smaller the man the greater his vanity. Utoplas are often only premature truths. Great enterprises often result from small beginnings. Riches either serve or govern the possessor.—Horace. What is more miserable than discontent?—Shakespeare. One way to judge a man's character is by what he doesn't say. Talents are distributed by nature without regard to pedigree. "Divorce" is the epitaph frequently carved upon love's tombstone. Quarrels would not last long if the wrong were only on one side. The man who lives like a king seldom does it to the queen's taste. Many a man would rather have a tooth pulled than pay his taxes. Any woman can strike a harder blow with her tongue than with her fist. If things are not working out well for you, get busy and work them out. Everybody feels justified in prescribing "work" as the greatest good for others. One may cherish the results of stinginess, though he has no taste for the practice of it. We demand, most of us, that the world be made happier for us. What are we doing for the world? Movie pictures, phonograph music and radio are making applause more and more superfluous. Birds of a feather are foolish to flock together when a man goes hunting. Bachelor girls were born at the wrong time of the moon. There was no man in it. Wise is the man who is prepared to meet the responsibilities of prosperity when it comes. RAILROAD'S LAWYERS EVIDENTLY ON JOB The company defended itself upon the following points: "Said dog was chasing a rabbit upon defendant's track in violation of the game laws; "Said rabbit lived upon defendant's right of way, and was, therefore, the property of defendant; "Plaintiff's dog was a trespasser and was hunting on defendant's property without permission. "Said deceased was not much of a dog anyway, or he could have kept out of the way of defendant's trains. "And, having fully answered, defendant prays to be discharged."

Nature has perfected herself by an eternity of practice.—Thoreau. The man who sows seeds of kindness has a perpetual harvest. Pride and weakness are Slamese twins.—Lowell. Like fragile ice, anger passes away in time.—Virgil. You can only govern men by serving them. The rule is without exception. The husbandman that laboreth must be the first partaker of the fruits.—II Timothy. When you are traveling far away from home, you are bleeding cash at every pore. Be good. Be kind. Be charitable. Others may see your faults even as you look upon theirs. A good principle, not rightly understood, may prove as hurtful as a bad. good, may prove as hurt as a bad. If our grandfathers had some strong prejudices, those are usually the first thing we inherit. About all a pessimist is good for is to sit around and anticipate misery. Better it is to write of laughter than of tears, for laughter is the natural function of man. One is not often dissatisfied with others excepting because one is dissatisfied with one's self. Uncover Vaults That Date From Middle Ages Date From Middle Ages While excavating the ground under the piles of debris representing the ruins of the abbatial church of SS. Peter and Paul, at Warneton, Belgium, say dispatches from Lille, the architects discovered two chambers dating from the Middle ages. They are constructed of brick. In one, the ornaments belonging to a priest were found scattered over the ground, and the other contained the lead sarcophagus of Prince Robert de Cassel, who was buried in 1331. On the walls of the two vaults, which are only one meter high, are some frescoes, in a remarkable condition of preservation. - The decoration of the mortuary chamber in which the ornaments were found represents the scene of the Crucifixion, with kneeling angels and halced saints. On the others are numerous shields bearing the Lion of Flanders.—Detroit News. Trains Named Like Ships Naming railway trains is an old and pleasing practice that some of the roads seem to be reviving. A new train between Boston and New York has been named the Bostonian. The Cannonball, the Mountaineer, the Wolverine, the Navaho are among the picturesque titles that different roads have bestowed on favorite trains. The Flying Yankee used to be the fast train from Boston to Bar Harbor, and the Flying Bluenose is still a merry jest, for it "flew" as the emu and the penguin fly. The inclination of mankind to give distinctive and personal names to inanimate objects that serve him is a psychological phenomenon as old as history.—Youth's Companion. Cruel "Women certainly have no consistency," said Brown ruefully, when he strolled into the club. "What's the matter?" came in chorus. "Well," he said, "my wife chased me out this morning, and then cried because I left home without kissing her good-bye." He Didn't Understand "I want something Homeric," declared the music publisher. "That's simple, I can easily turn you out something about home and mother." The lowest sum earned by any one member of a famous co-operative dance orchestra of New York last season was $16,000. DEATH ASCRIBED TO EAST INDIAN MAGIC Hard Otherwise to Explain Sergeant's Demiss. Mr. O. Rothfield, author of "Women of India," I.C.S., relates the following remarkable incident, which he does not attempt to explain: The incident concerned a smart young Silk sergeant of the mounted police, a strapping fellow, with a great broad chest, the best wrestler on the force. The other part was played by a Mussulman faklr. He was an old, old man with a white beard, of quite unknown age, who beyond the memory of the living generation had crouched on a mat at a corner where two sunken lanes meet. The scene was a village, the poor successor of a dead city of palaces and of mosques, not far north of Bombay. In the midday heat, under the glare of the sun, his eyes half shut, vaguely thinking of home and dinner, the sergeant came cantering loosely along, with the reins slipping through his fingers. An overhanging bank hid the fakir at the corner, and the pony shied before the rider saw him. The sergeant all but went over the horse's head, and pulled himself back into the saddle with an effort. He was angry, of course, as any one would have been. It is not nice to be brought up with a jerk and feel a fool, when one is hot and tired and hungry and thirsty. So he cursed the fakir, and threatened to run him in as a nuisance. He was not respectful, certainly, and he was an unbeliever—a Sikh, not a Mussulman. But this does not excuse the old fakir. He—the old fraud—lifted himself up in turn and cursed and cursed in a solemn, dignified way, chanting the words like a communication. And he ended with an imprecation that the officer should die in the sixth month after five months of wasting. There was little real jauntiness left in the sergeant when the old man was done. But he carried it off well enough and laughed about it that evening with his friends at headquarters, and several times he laughed again during the next week. But it is a fact that he began to lose weight in the second week, that his cheeks fell in and a cough shook him, that he was spitting blood within three months, and that he was dead within six. Did he die of a suggested fear? and if so, why should it take that form exactly? Or was it really the old fabir's fixed thought, his persistent hate, that held and shook him across space and across time? Only the old man could have answered, and he was silent. Militant German Woman German courts are not very considerate of women who seek damages for wounded affections, consequently a young woman at Mannheim whose sweetheart had treated her slightly and told her his parents objected to their betrothal, consulted the mother of her halting fiance and was told by the mother that he had lied to her. The young woman did not consult a lawyer, but invited her former sweetheart to take a stroll with her. She awaited her opportunity and felled her recreat lover with a blow. Then she boxed his ears and beat him until the blood ran from his nose. Spectators of the affair rescued the chap and held the frate woman while he made his escape. The Mannheim newspapers in warning recreat lovers to beware of jitting also informed them that heroes still live in Germany. Talkless Phone for Mutes One of the most recent devices for use in communication between deaf mutes is a "talkless phone" that conveys messages by means of an alphabet printed on electric-light bulbs. As the operator presses the keys of a special typewriter wired electrically, the corresponding letters are lighted, spelling out the message. The invention is the work of William E. Shaw of Cambridge, Mass., who was stricken deaf and dumb by slackness at an early age. He has been working with electrical and mechanical devices most of his life, and claims that deaf mutes miles apart will be able to "talk" with his device.—Popular Science Monthly. Eagles Fight to Death Capt. Hurley Boyd of the fishing steamer Maud J., in 'port here, reports that when ten miles east of Five Fathom Bank lightship he saw the most exciting air battle of his 20 years' experience as a skipper, says the New York Times. Two eagles, he said, fought for a big eel, and one of the eagles was killed and the other so badly wounded that it could hardly fly beyond the reach of the steamer, which was stopped long enough to pick up the eel, which, Captain Boyd said, weighed over eight pounds. The dead bald eagle, he said, measured ten feet from tip to tip of wings. Try Them Buttered Willie—Dad, why is an after-dinner speech called a toast? Dad—Because it is usually so dry, my son.—London Tit-Bits. Chapel Labor of Love A war memorial chapel in the church of St. Chrysostom, London, is being built by a laborer in spare hours without payment. THE KANSAS CITY. ADVOCATE There is a dingy old building at the corner of Dock and Moravian streets in Philadelphia which is about to be torn down to make way for a new structure. With it will vanish a spot about which memories cluster dim but polignant. In 1837 William E. Burton founded the Gentleman's Magazine, in imitation of the famous English periodical of the same name. Shortly before, Edgar Allan Poe had come up from Richmond to seek a wider field for his poems and stories. His occasional contributions to contemporary journals attracted the attention of Burton, who engaged him, in July, 1839, to sit in with the editorial staff of the Gentleman's Magazine, at a salary of $50 a month. Poe had previously declined to accept any editorial position, fearing that the confinement would handicap his powers. His child wife, Virginia, soon began to develop the terrible disease which was to take her from him, however, and in his desire to provide her with comforts he was constrained to accept regular employment. For three years he sat in the corner room of the second story at Dock and Moravian streets and wrote his immortal criticisms and essays. Then he and his employer quarreled over Poe's prospectus for the Penn Magazine, and in 1842 their connection ceased. But the dark little room has seemed to be filled ever since with the atmosphere of his brooding spirit, and for many years it has been a mecca for all throughout the world who have read his songs and prose. Now at last it is to go and the place thereof shall know it "Nevermore." Picea Engelmanni Engelmann Spruce is essentially a Rocky mountain evergreen, for its geographic distribution is very largely confined to the Rockies, P. A. Smoll. Pa Naturalist of the Rocky Mountain National park, tells us. It ranges from the southern limits of Arizona and New Mexico to well up into the Canadian Rockies, while a limited amount of it is found in the states of Washington and Oregon, apart from the Rocky mountain system. The name, Engelmann Spruce, is appropriate and well established among students of western trees, although among the lumbermen of the West, one may often hear the name "spruce" used when this tree is intended. The first discoverer of the tree cannot be named with absolute certainty. In the history of the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1805, mention is made of a "spruce" which may have been the tree which we now know as Engelmann Spruce, but, on the part of many of our early explorers, there has been much confusion in the distinction of the firs and spruces and therefore this conclusion is open to question. Jealousy Analyzed "There is, perhaps, no such thing as love without an occasional display of jealousy," says Burton Rascoe, writing in Hearst's International. "But in every case I believe it will be found that the one who is jealous has lost for the moment his or her self-assurance. It may be because of illness or overwork or a protracted lack of diversion. "When I have been jealous or my wife has been jealous I have always noticed that our jealousy could be traced to one of these three things. When I have been jealous, they have been occasions when I felt myself at a disadvantage, when my egoism was not top-notch. "The man who knows that he can depend upon his wife not to leave him in the lurch or desert him in a crisis or find some one else irresistibly more attractive, is pretty sure of himself, sure of his power to attract, sure of his worthiness as a man. This is true also of a woman." Steam From Volcano Plans are under way to pierce the sides of Mount Tatio, an active volcano on the west coast of South America, to get the steam generated by the natural fires beneath the mountain. Most of the energy will be piped out for use in making electricity. Estimates show that as much current can be produced in this manner each year as would require the consumption of a half million tons of coal in an ordinary plant. It is said the steam is so pure that it can be run directly into turbine engines without the usual costly cleaning processes. In Italy thousands of horsepower have been developed in this way.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. Same in Life Patient Diner—Everything comes to him who waits, I suppose.

Plan Observance of Railroad Centennial Quincy, Mass., is preparing for the centennial observance of the first railroad built and operated in the United States, a line from West Quincy to tidewater at Neponset, over which was transported the granite used in the building of Bunker Hill monument, the New York Sun reports. The Quincy road is generally accepted as the first American railway. It was planned 100 years ago, when the Bunker Hill monument was under consideration, and it was opened October 7, 1826. Its ties were of granite, its rails were of pine and oak covered with flat bars of iron, and the cars were drawn by horses. It was three miles long. In the century since, the construction of this road the railway mileage of the United States has grown to 265,000 miles. In the consideration of the development of the railway as a means of public transportation railroad men are not agreed as to the date which marked its beginning. While they do not doubt that the iron rail came in with the Quincy railway, many of them believe that the most important feature of this development was the introduction of the locomotive. The beginning of the steam railway is usually dated from the opening of the Stockton and Darlington railroad to traffic in 1825. It was at least four years later before the locomotive appeared in America, the first arrival being the Stroubridge Lion, built in England and tried out on an iron track from Carbondale to Honesdale, Pa. It was not a complete success. In 1830 the development of railroad transportation actually began. In that year the first regular train service was inaugurated and the locomotive was successfully operated. The Baltimore & Ohio had been incorporated, a South Carolina railroad had been chartered as "a steam railroad to be operated by locomotives for public service," and the West Point foundry was making as good locomotives as the English foundries. In 1830 there were 23 miles of railway in operation; ten years afterward—an era of feverish activity and widespread interest in railroad development—the number of miles had grown to 2,818. Company Struck Back Suing the street car company of Budapest for damages carries with it a risk all its own. The company recently repainted the seats in its cars, but with a paint that softens under the influence of water. It neglected to repair the windows of some of its cars; so the rain fell on the paint and the paint—well, it stuck to divers skirts and trousers of luckless passengers. Thereupon great indignation, and a flood of damage suits against the company. But the company, working already with a big deficit, didn't feel like paying up. On the contrary, it filed a counter suit against everyone, demanding damages, charging that the passenger had damaged the paint of the car and was therefore liable for the cost of repainting. Furthermore, as a warning, it started criminal prosecution against the indignant passengers, charging them with wilful damage to its property. Centennial of Benzine Next June a hundred years will have passed since Michael Faraday announced to the Royal society his discovery of benzine. Faraday made benzine for the first time in the laboratory of the Royal institution, where today Sir William Bragg continues the great search after truth in other directions. Benzine has been one of our greatest benefactors, but the chemistry of the new compounds it introduced has proved the curse of civilization. Benzine is easily converted into carbolic acid, the valuable antiseptic that saves thousands of lives, but a "turn of the wheel" In the chemist's laboratory will convert carbolic acid into a dangerous explosive, and the study of such explosive compounds, in many of which benzine is the starting point, has led to the methods of destruction which form the great tragedy of science.—Children's Newspaper, London. HAS DEVOTED LIFE TO CARE OF LEPERS The leper colony on Molokal island was established by the Hawaiians in 1866. It occupied a tongue of land comprising about 6,500 acres that juts into the sea surrounded on three sides by the ocean and on the back by a natural perpendicular wall from 2,000 to 4,000 feet high, says the Detroit News. The institution is under the direction of the government board of health and all persons suspected or afflicted with the disease in the islands are brought there. To the colony once a week comes the boat with mall. No curiosity seekers are allowed. Brother Joseph Dutton, a Wisconsin Civil war veteran, is head of the leper colony at Kalawoa. He began his services Sunday, July 29, 1886, at the age of forty-three. In these passing years he has not received a cent of compensation for his services and has never left the scene of his labors. The sacrifices that he has made in caring for the lepers are rivaled only by the work of his predecessor. Father Joseph Damien, who died April 15, 1889, from the disease contracted at the island while caring for others. arl D.

R. Woodward, for the last 39 years active in mine development in Colorado, has worked out a method of extracting electrical energy from the mineral veins of the earth, he says. By his system inexhaustible supplies of the energy, enough for the billions of people of the civilized world, will be available through storage batteries of gigantic proportions which his plan encompasses. His plan also involves long-distance transmission of the power by wireless. His discovery was accidental through finding electrical energy in gold and silver ore. His theory is that it comes from the sun. His Opinion of Lenin A good story comes from Russia. It is narrated that a band of pilgrims, headed by an old peasant from Rayazan, recently visited Lenin's mausoleum in the Red Square, Moscow. Above the tomb, on a marble slab, are inscribed the words: "Lenin is dead, but his works live." On reading this inscription the old peasant, in the fullness of his heart, blurted out: "Ekh, Iitch, Iitch! It would be better if thou were alive and thy works were dead!" The unconscious humorist was promptly arrested for this blasphemous utterance.—London Morning Post.

MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page 1.) I am going to take a whole letter and talk about Poro and Poro Methods. Now I came to the time when I told them good bye and started for this place. I come now to pay a tribute to one of the greatest women in this country. She has lived well her life, a life of service, a life spent not for self, but for others. Such was the life of Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle who will be with us no more on earth. She has joined those who have gone and will await our arrival. Mrs. Tuggle was a woman with a wonderful personality and magnetism. She was a leader of women and a great organizer. She was practical in her life, and believed in doing more than mere talk. She entered this world back yonder, via. Eufala, Alabama. She obtained a practical education, and was at home wherever you put her, whether in the school room, kitchen, on the work bench a tailor, or presiding over a body of women and women. She was the founder of the Rising Sons and Daughters of Protection, Grand Worthy Counsellor of the Court of Calanthe, founder and president of the Tuggle Institute, and at the head of the Alabama Knights and Ladies of Honor. The orders were the supporters of the school. Her life was spent for the boys and girls, and she died in active service. Although she has been failing in health for some time, yet she continued to work, work, working while it was day, making good use of her time. She stood between the two races in Alabama, and possessed the ability to hold them together and have them work together. She made the white people of this city (Birmingham) see their relation to her people and her people see their relation to others, and in this both worked together at Tuggle Institute. It seemed to be a pleasure to the white women of Birmingham to serve "Carrie" as she was called by them, and it was just as much pleasure for the women of her race to serve "Old Lady" as she was lovingly called by her own people. She was known in the Pythians, as "Mother Tuggle," and her children all regarded her. She was easily the floor leader of the Supreme Lodge, and she will be missed. Mrs. Fannie C. Blevins, will have charge of the Tuggle Institute. She was vice-President. The funeral services were held last Sunday from the Sixteenth Street Baptist church. Supreme Lodge and Supreme Court officers were here from all parts of the country, and there was a wonderful floral offering. Flowers from all parts of the country. The active pallbearers were: G. W. Westbrooks, Harvey Smith, Ben Chatman, G. W. Moon, Dr. R. B. Maclin, A. G. Benning, W. B. Foster, Dr. H. C. Bryant. Honorary pall bearers: H. A. Blount, Dr. U. G. Mason, W. M. Wheelis, T. C.

She lived well yesterday, today has claimed her. She is no more with us, but the work must continue. I think Mrs. Blevins is the right woman to succeed this wonderful character. She has the confidence of the women. She trained under Mrs. Tuggle, and has worked with her and should be permitted to continue in the good work. She should be placed without a question at the head of the Calanthe, president of the school, and ever keep alive the works of Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle. Here I am in this city, and I am the guest of Editor Oscar W. Adams, editor of the Birmingham Reporter, one of the leading papers of the country. Editor Adams is a worker, he is without a doubt the second edition of the late William Hooper Councill. I mean by this that he trained under this wonderful educator, and is his counterpart. He believes in his people and is working for them. Right by his side is to be found his wife a very queen in home and they have a home believe me honey. I am now getting ready to tell you about the Lincoln League. It will convene in Chicago in February. Look for in information about it next week. UNLUCKY DAY'S WORK FOR BROTHER ALLEN Brother Allen had in his store an old-fashioned, ornate silver table caster that no one would buy, though he had marked it down to "only $4." When the sisters of the church asked for contributions to the good pastor's donation party he put in the silver monstrosity, taking care to insert the digit one before the four in order to make the gift seem valuable. The party was held with its shower of good things. Little Mrs. Ellott, the pastor's wife, gazed curiously at the caster and its plethoric tag. "It's too rich for us!" she said. "Especially when the children need clothes and we all need food. I'll go and ask Brother Allen to take it back and let us have the fourteen dollars' worth of other things that we need so badly." Hank Evans, the village gossip, was in the store when she came in with the high-priced donation. So, rather than betray himself to Hank's biting tongue, Brother Allen sent fourteen dollars' worth of goods up to the parson's house—almost a drayload of the cheaper but more comforting things that the little woman had selected.

Devices Making for Safety of A More and more the human factor in the safe operation of heavier-than-air machines is giving place to automatic control. Remarkable progress in the control of pilotless planes by wireless was reported recently by the British royal aircraft establishment, which also is experimenting with the launch of winged bombs from aircraft in flight and their control for a limited distance to the desired object, says Popular Science Monthly. In addition, a German scientist recently reported the perfection of a new steering device for planes, designed to make pilots independent of darkness, the invisibility of the earth and horizon, and other similar factors. Rapidly the last remaining hazards of air transportation are being eliminated by science, as demonstrated by the success of coast-to-coast air-mall service. Seeing Darkly Samuel Gompers objected, at a banquet in Washington, to the "vision" that a fellow banqueter attributed to the Soviet leaders. "Vision?" he said. "Well, the vision of those fellows is just about equal to Blank's." "Blank, you know, visited an oculist to have his eyes tested. The oculist tried him on all his biggest charts, but he couldn't make out a single letter. So, in desperation, the oculist dashed off to the kitchen and came back with the lid of a wash boiler. "I sure can," said Blank. "It's either a quarter or a half dollar." THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE HUMORIST MADE HIT CATCHING THE B AT GRANT BANQUET IN EFFECTIVE Mark Twain's Deft Compliment to Great Soldier. The first meeting of Samuel L. Clemens and General Grant—men most unlike, yet destined to be closely associated—was in 1808 when Mark Twain was a newspaper correspondent in Washington. He had arranged for an interview with Grant, says the Mentor, and had looked forward to it with lively expectations, but when he gazed into the imperturable, unsmilling face of the soldier he found himself for once in his life with nothing in particular to say. Grant nodded to him and waited in silence. At last Mark Twain's native resources came to his rescue. "General," he said, "I seem to be a little embarrassed. Are you?" That broke the ice, and all went well with them thereafter. In 1879 they met again. Meanwhile Mark Twain had become world famous, and General Grant had been President of the United States twice and had made a tour of the world, receiving an ovation in every land. On his return the Army of the Tennessee gave him a magnificent reception in Chicago, and the greatest men of the country were there to pay him tribute, Mark Twain among them. Carter Harrison, then mayor of Chicago, was host and when Mark Twain came in introduced him to Grant. The general greeted him gravely and then looking Mark calmly in the eye, said, "Mr. Clemens, I am not embarrassed; are you?" On that night, when Logan, Hurlbut, Villas, Woodford, Pope, Robert G. Ingersoll and other brilliant men spoke, Mark Twain, although he was not called on until half past two in the morning at the end of a long list of speakers, was the bright particular star. Mark Twain had responded at many public dinners most happily to the toast "The Ladies," but for this occasion with whimsical fancy he chose "The Bables." His opening words were: "We haven't all had the good fortune to be ladies; we haven't all been generals or poets or statesmen; but when the toast works down to the bables we stand on common ground." At that the tired audience waked up, and with each sentence the enthusiasm of the assembly grew visibly and audibly. When he reached the beginning of his final paragraph, "Among the three or four million cradles now rocking in the land are some which this nation would preserve for ages as sacred things if we could know which ones they are," the vast audience walted breathless for his conclusion: "And now in his cradle, somewhere under the flag, the future illustrious commander-in-chief of the American armies is so little burdened with his approaching grandeurs and responsibilities as to be giving his whole strategic mind at this moment to trying to find out some way to get his own big toe into his mouth—an achievement which—meaning no disrespect—the illustrious guest of this evening also turned his attention to some 56 years ago." He paused, and the vast crowd had a chill of fear. After all he seemed likely to overdo it. No one knew better than Mark Twain the value of a pause. He waited long enough to let the silence become absolute; then, wheeling to Grant himself, he said with the dramatic power of which he was master: "And If the child is but the father of the man, there are mighty few who will doubt that he succeeded!" The crowd responded with a roar of appreciation. Even Grant's iron serenity broke, and he shook with laughter. Restoring Ancient Temple A Buddhist temple of Boro-Budur in Java is being restored and preserved by the Dutch government. The temple is supposed to have been erected in that country during the Eighth or Ninth century when the Buddhist kings were in power. Mohammedan rule was established there during the Tenth century and since that time the temple has been in a process of decay. Fortune Teller—Beware of a tall dark man with a scar over his right eye.

Family Tyrant Has Her Own Ideas on Subject. "Now hold her," says the photographer who is an expert in baby's pictures. Now "you stand there and you stand there and now all say 'Googoooool' Loud! just like that! Now all to together! And all at once! And now with a will! Quick and 'click' she goes and that was no good. We'll try it again." Grandma darts into the house and emerges with a Japanese gong with a big striker that came with it when we bought it at Bar Harbor. She assumes an intentional highly amusing type of broad grin and a show of teeth. With it goes a line of baby talk. So she dances up and down on one foot, strikes the gong and says, "Will ee' itty lammie smile for gammy?" This is supposed to be an unfailing recipe. REAL ESTATE When Better Homes Are Sold the Old Homestead Will Sell Them The Old Homestead Realty Co. 529 State Avenue. Fairfax 1050 Thus, while the baby's dad holds a large-shed rubber cat with a hole in its side, from which ooze certain piercing sounds supposed to delight a child, grandma strikes the gong, mother laughs aloud "ha-ha-ha-ha!" Marlon goes "hee-hee-hee" in soprano; papa makes a noise which hitherto has been an unfalling recipe for smiles and which may be faintly described as similar to that which a duck's foot makes when it is suddenly drawn from the mud; anuntie goes "toodle-toodle-oo-o-o" in a low contralto, which makes even the child's grandfather roar, and I try to tickle the baby under the arms, writes A. G. Staples in the Lewiston Evening Journal. And the crowd along the railing of our yard, now increased to 125, is in gales. The baby regards us with solemn interest.

Baby regards me with withering glances. Mother beats the drum; grandmother beats a tin pan; father goes "putt-putt-putt," like the exhaust of a machine. Marlon goes "Ha-ha-ha-a-a-a" crescendo, and two cars run into each other on the hill, because the drivers are not watching anything but us. What we need is Al Jolson and Frank Tinney with Humpty Dumpty and a Punch and Judy. Baby regards us with pity. ```markdown ``` We set her on the grass and all stand off and do our best to excite the peerless one's risibilities. Nothing doing. Now and then a faint suggestion of that heavenly charm that lurks in the corners of her mouth will appear, but most of the time she just carries that far-away look of wonder that resides in the limpid depths of innocence. A PERSONAL SERVICE—HUMAN CONSIDERATION YOU GET MORE THAN YOU PAY FOR—ASK ANYBODY Then we rest. Then we cease; then we sit down, conquered, and the baby, looking at us all sober and serene as she most often sees us in our daily life, opens her lips, curls the corners of her mouth, bursts into a roar of musical laughter and the camera snaps her into the result that leaves nothing to be desired this side of perfection. Sandpaper Lithographs A new method of lithograping which will be of special interest to amateur artists and school children has been invented by Norman Jacobson of Coketown, Wyo., now studying art in Paris. In his method, sandpaper replaces the expensive stones hitherto necessary. Some brilliant effects can even be obtained by using as a "printing press" the family wash wringer. THE BEST LAUNRY SERVICE POSSIBLE SOFT WATER USED EXCLUSIVELY BY US PHONE HARRISON 0592 KANSAS CITY. MO. The idea of sandpaper lithographs came accidentally when the young American etcher happened to run an ink roller over a piece of sandpaper. He noticed that the sandpaper would not "take" ink. He found that if he drew a design on it with wax crayons or a pointed piece of soap and then inked the sandpaper the design was printed not unlike that from a regular lithographing stone. A group of American art students are now turning out work by the new method.
