KANSAS MIDNIGHT STEPPING A BOUT WITH BIG CHURGHMEN Ignorance Has No Place In Gods Pulpit Denmark, S. C., April 9.—You find me this week out of Florida, for the first time in a month, but you will hear of me being in and out of the state more times now, for the knife used by Dr. Eugene N. Dibble has gotten me in shape for getting around some. I have been looking toward Tuskegee Institute, and I am to tell you in another letter about the travels of Secretary Albon L. Holsey, of the National Negro Business League, and believe me when I say to you that they are getting ready for one more big session in Tulsa, Okla., and I am praying God to spare my life that I may make the trip. Have you ever tried to do something to help my people? Are you trying to do something for humanity today? If you are then you may expect to have people say all manner of things about you and call you everything but a child of God as long as you are serving, and then they will get around your casket, or over your grave and tell of your greatness. If you are just a nothing, then you go through the world without unkind things being said, and the empty-headed social society will praise your name if you can wear good clothes and have a few dollars to spend and a head as empty as a kettle drum. I have heard as much about Bishop John Hurst, and what he is not doing, and how he has been abused, and about the extra conferences, until I have just decided to look into his work in Florida. I want to here, before telling you anything about his work, to thank God for his life and for the services he is rendering to mankind. He is helping my people as well as his own, and then he is making the people do something for themselves. I have told you from time to time about his conferences, and now I want to tell you that he has accomplished something. He has received as compensation "hash-e-square-lull," but his shoulders are broad enough to stand it, and then he is not a great big man, and that is another thing in his favor He was elected a bishop in 1912 and assigned to Florida. He found that the African Methodist Episcopal church, was playing at education. They had a school called Edward Waters college, but it was more name than school. This institution was way down, for they could not buy a much on credit. For a year or so Bishop Hurst went around with his head down, so to speak, but he was working. He established the credit of the school, and told the ministers that marching had to be done, or they should step out of the ranks for men who could march. Believe me when I tell you that the African Methodist Episcopal church in Florida is on top, and their school has taken its place among the leading schools of the country. Bishop Hurst scoured the country over for a good school man, and he was found in Bishop John A. Gregg, and followed by John C. Wright, and now they have another great school man, the Rev. Dr. Cooper from Georgia. But I cannot tell you all. He told the men what was needed, and said that the money was to be found right in Florida, the only thing needed was the ministers to educate the people up to their own duty and responsibility. Buildings were needed and buildings were had. Since 1912 Bishop Hurst has been working for an educated pew, and finding that the pew are about to get away with the pulpit from an intellectual viewpoint he has now turned on the ministry. He believes that Florida should educate its ministers in the future, hence he entered his work in 1924, directly from the General Conference with a pledge to Almighty God that a Theological Seminary must be erected and then issued his edict. He told the amount of money to be raised, and each appointment was as- THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER sessed, and when the ministers came up in one conference without their assessments to make a charge on ignorance and illiteracy he sent them back without an appointment to get the money, and while he has been criticised the men brought back more than they were asked for, and placed it on the table, and said they would do better at the next session of the conference. Now, then, the Florida Conference, held two days' session, that is one-half of them met in Madison, Fla., and the other half met in Lloyd, Fla., April 1 and 2, so I decided that I would see what would happen in order to tell you about it. I had been resting up in St. Augustine, trying to get some youth, and the last day of March got myself together and went into Jacksonville in order to get with the Methodist preachers to go. I spent the night with the Rev. Dr. H. Y. Tookes, the pastor, and one of the great men of the church. He told me that he would take me to Madison in his automobile car carriage, and believe me when I tell you he has one, a late model of its make, and it rides like a Pullman Pallace car. We all, met at Edward Waters college, and there were about a dozen automobile car carriages, and one large bus truck, in-which was carried the college band of 22 pieces. Of course Dr. Tookes took the lead, and we got there long before any of the others. We reached Madison, he had a shave, and then to the church where we were received by Rev. F. A. White, D. D., the pastor. I went to the palatial home of Mrs. Mamie Osgood, a wealthy widow, and there is where I spent the night. She is devoted to her church. She had contributed largely to the new building and fitted up the parsonage herself. Well educated. Bishop and the band arrived, and we had dinner, and then in the new church where services were held. "O for a Heart to Praise My God," was the opening hymn lined by Bishop Hurst, and after a soul touching, fervent prayer by the Rev. Dr. Ahepp Hunter, and followed an address by Bishop Hurst. He said: "This is the first time, perhaps, that an annual conference has been called to meet in sections. I cannot address you as the Florida annual conference, because this is only a section of it, and the other section will meet tomorrow in Lloyd. I have divided you, because of the expense in having all come across the state and it would be too much burden upon us at this time. We have here today two districts joining each other. "I am trying to do something for the ministers of this state, or to have them do something for themselves. We have brought with us our college band to entertain you. On our way out we stopped at Lake City, and they gave us a great ovation. Dinner was served us, the band played and addresses were delivered in the church. The public school turned out to greet us. We also stopped at Live Oak. At this point the band played." "I assure you that my heart is in the work of the church in Florida and I want to help you and the people to make something that will reflect credit to the work. The people are protesting against ignorance in the pulpit. Just as the doctor, the lawyer and other professional men are trained for their work, so should the man who represents the highest calling or profession in the world, a representative of Jesus Christ on Earth. We are now calling upon you to do your duty." Presiding Elder H. E. Danfels, reported $503.50, leaving a balance of $60, and Presiding Elder G. B. Williams reported 500, leaving a balance of $50. At this point a number of short addresses were delivered, praising the work of Bishop Hurst, and expressing thanks for what he was doing. Mrs. K. Bertha Hurst came in for a share of the praise. At 8 o'clock there was a great meeting. The speakers were Rev. Dr. D. W. Carter, dean of the Theological department of Edward Waters college; H. Y. Tookes, of Jacksonville, and Dr. R. A. Grant, the choice for Episcopal honors. They talked about "An Educated Ministry and What it-Means to the Community." I tell you the men just stepped on the gas, and I could see Dr. Tookes, talking for the work of the Book Kansas City, Kansas, April 10, 1925 L.R. CA (Copyright W. N. U.) GRAND MASTER'S VISITS LAST WEEK Ye writer was in Mound City, Kan., last week where he found Mr. Tom Young, one among the oldest York Rite Masons in the state. In the days of rebellion he did not cease. I found 'the Rev. Sullivan, who was very busy in garden work. He is well fixed at his home. He owns over 5 lots and his dear wife, who makes one welcome, is a first class cook. Mr. Walker, a laundryman, has the best in the city. On our return we stopped off at Lacygne, Kan., and was soon at home with our friend and Mason, Mr. A. S. Sutton, who thought it wise to lay up for a rainy day. His wife is a great cook. Miss Elvira White, our teacher there in the public school, is well pleased at this home. She is one of our future leaders. Sunday at St. Paul A. M. E. church, the services were good. At 3 p. m. we were at Quindaro with Dr. Payne and the services there were also good. Sunday night we went back to St. Paul where we attempted to preach again. Our revival started Monday night and there were five converts who joined our Zion. Rev. O. E. Kelly, an evangelist, is in charge of the meeting. He is a fine preacher. I will leave Tuesday for Ottawa to install the Court and Craft. I am seving souls and making Masons, building churches and preaching the gospel Fraternally yours, J. A. BROADAUX, G. M. CARD OF THANKS We wish to extend to our many neighbors and friends our heartfelt thanks for their kindness and service during the illness and death of our beloved husband and brother-in-law, Mr. William Walker. We also want to thank those who came to our aid and remained with us night and day, with their service and sympathy. We appreciate and are grateful to his pastor, Rev. Montgomery, for his words of consolation and also to Rev. D. B. Jackson for his service. We wish to thank those who sent such lovely floral offerings. JOSSIE WALKER, Mr. Albert Neeley of Memphis, Tenn., was called here last week on account of the illness and death of his brother-in-law, Mr. William Walker, 334 Everett avenue. Mr. Neeley is a brother of the deceased's wife, Mrs. Jossie Walker, this being the second trip in a few weeks for Mr. Neeley. He returned home Tuesday evening.

M.-E. CHURCH, RENDERED BY JUNIOR CHOIR The Junior Choir of the First A. M. E church, Prof. E. M. Wise, director and instructor, will render tonight (Friday) at 8 p. m., an Easter Cantata, a musicale of great range and sweetness. The Junior choir has 30 voices of some of the best talent in the two cities. There are a number of solos, duets and quartetts in this cantata and the chorus parts are sublime.

EASTER EGGS DATE BACK MANY CENTURIES Since early in the Christian era eggs have been associated with Easter as a symbol of human hope of a life to come. Before the Dark Ages the children of Lutece (now Paris) were rolling Easter eggs. Early French kings distributed them as Easter gifts. Eggs decorated by great painters of the eighteenth century are now worth fabulous sums. An egg painted by Antoine Watteau is valued at $4,000. WILLIAM WALKER DIES Mr. William Walker of 334 Everett avenue, passed away Thursday, April 2nd, after a few weeks' illness. Mr. Walker was a quiet, unassuming man and was generally found at his home, which he loved, when not at his daily labor. He was a model husband and saw that his family and home was well taken care of. His friends and neighbors ever had a good word for him. His wife, Mrs. Jossie Walker, was ever at his bedside and gave every comfort to her husband during his short illness. The funeral service was held Monday at 2 p. m. from King Solomon Baptist church of which the deceased was a member. The floral offerings were many and profuse. Rev. Montgomery, his pastor, officiated, assisted by Rev. D. B. Jackson. He leaves a widow and a number of relatives, the latter living in the southland. A friend of ours says he thinks his fivener has that "gas consumption" he has read so much about—it coughs so much.

STILL ON DE LINE OF REEZ-UN Uncle Ike—Dem fellers says YOU is jess mad, cause you aint gittin nuffin ter do; an caint live and have things like de fellers hich dey carries their biz-ness to. Dey says, "Jess look at de Cyars, and things hat dem fellers has." O, I see, I see—I can agree with them in some measure. That is to say, I guess I could have more than I have got, and still not have an overplus. But that is not the point in the case. It is not that they should be bound to patronize a particular lawyer, or other professional man, or business man, no, no,—that is not even a small part of it. The truth and Honorable position for them, to take is to find themselves big enough and broad enough, and manly enough to know and recognize the Truth. When they do that, they will not bashe their case on such flimsy argument as that given above. But will reason and conclude. That even if what they say about me is true, it does not follow as a rightful conclusion that all other professional and business men are of the same stripe and quality. No, no; that will not do; that class of gentlemen will have to come out of their False, Fragile and insecure Glass houses; and come out in the clear sunlight of Truth and Honor. And learn something of the teaching of that great soul, who taught, "Whatsoever things ye would that men should do to you; do ye even so unto them." Come on down from your trees of Presumption, come on, on the level, "Man to man" and learn that our interests are common and that we will go up, if at all, together. Or we will surely GO DOWN, ONE BY ONE—but SURELY ALL of us. Think over it, gentlemen—Uncle Ike. Mrs. A. T. Marr, of 1213 Ann avenue, left Tuesday for Des Moines, Iowa, on account of the -illness of her sister, Mrs. Tillery-Miller.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Has Made Success of Marriage and Career Mary Roberts Rinehart, discussing her family life, her success and what it has meant to her, in Hearst's International-Cosmopolitan, prompts Ray Long to say: "Mary Roberts Rinehart is like a breath of fresh air. She is a refreshing answer to those women who talk of the impossibility of marriage and a career. She has made the wonderful discovery that her marriage—her family—is what makes a career worth while. "Here she is—this mother whose six-foot sons treat her as a 'pal'—beautiful, a charming hostess, distinguished as a novelist, as a playwright, as a short-story writer, as a traveler who describes what she sees with pleasure humor. "Mrs. Rinehart succeeds in so many things because she wants success for others, not for herself. She loves her work, takes fine pride in it, of course. But back of it all is the urge to do for others. And that, after all, is the biggest thing in life; to lay the fruits of your effort at the feet of some one you love."

From the nearest star it takes four years, and from some of the farther stars it takes 30,000 years. There are stars so far away that it is not at all unlikely that it takes something on the order of a million years for light to reach us going at the terrific pace of 11,000,000 miles a minute.

Grave of Noted Chief? An ancient Indian grave believed to hold the remains of Chief Am-puh, the Plute Indian leader after whom the city of Nampa, Idaho, was named, has been found by R. W. Limbert, whose explorations in the country now known as the Craters of the Moon national monument contributed greatly to national recognition of that territory, says a dispatch from Pocatello, Idaho. While hunting in the desert close to the Navada line recently, Mr. Limbert said he found a flat rock upon which there was carved an arrow. Following the general direction of the arrow he found other rocks with similar carvings. The end of the line of arrow rocks was a huge mound of stones with a flat one resting horizontally on top. The flat rock was engraved crudely with the figure of an Indian with abnormally large feet and hands; around the figure was a circle, the death sign of the Plutes. The dead chief is reputed to have had enormously large feet and hands and it is a tradition that one of his feet was six inches wide and eighteen inches long. The attempt of the carver to show the large hands and feet leads Limbert to believe that it is the grave of Chief Nam-puh. Sportsman's Paradise The deer forests of Scotland have now a serious rival in the wooded mountain regions of the north and south islands of New Zealand. Before 1861 deer were unknown in New Zealand, but that year one stag and two hinds from Thorndon park, in Essex, England, were let loose in the Nelson province. Then, in 1870, a few animals were imported from the Dalhousie forests in Forfarshire. That was the beginning of the great Otago herd.

(First Published April 10, 1925) ★ THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE DOGS RELY LITTLE ON THE EYESIGHT SHEER BLUFF MAD BY SCOUT WON Seem to Be Guided Only by Sense of Smell. Many hunters believe that a good old-fashioned "hound dog" is capable of following a trail ten or twelve hours old. But the definite recorded information is scant indeed. It would be interesting to know just how long after a trail was made a dog is able to follow it with accuracy. Also, we should all like to know to which groups or classes of smells dogs are most sensitive. You may have observed that a dog never pays any attention to a portrait of another dog, or of his master. Even his own reflection in a mirror may leave him unmoved. Most of his power of sight seems to go to waste. Dogs have for generations dwelt in a world of smell. With us, seeing is believing. But with dogs, smelling is believing. I suppose nearly every dog owner has noticed that if his dog gets separated from him on the street and becomes slightly excited or bewildered he might as well be blind. He causes to depend on his eyes and can look right at his master without seeing him. He must identify his master by scent. Many dogs are quick at catching a ball and are accurate in grabbing at small prey such as rats or mice that try to dodge them; but there is a mass of experimental and other evidence to show that a dog's eyesight is not keen at perceiving small objects not previously brought to his attention. Indeed, there is evidence that the average dog makes much less use of his eyes than is popularly supposed. Does a dog sitting on the kitchen steps ever happen to look across the back yard and see a bone that has been thrown out for him? No, he probably doesn't find the bone until he happens to go near enough to smell it. But if another dog runs across the yard, he sees that, because it is too conspicuous even for his untrained eyes to miss. Dr. John B. Watson, formerly chief psychologist at Johns Hopkins university, brought up a litter of puppies with several kept in a dark room until three or four months old. These practically sightless dogs got along just as well as the others. They were able to find their way about, open doors, and sense directions the same as any average puppy. One even learned to jump a rope! The point is that they didn't niss the lack of eyesight, because they wouldn't have used their eyes much anyhow.—Fred C. Kelly in Collier's Weekly. Mr. Munyon's Present Ben Marsh of the Farmers' National council, ardent advocate of government ownership of the railroads, said recently: "Our politicians love us dearly before the election, but after the election we—well, we get a shock like Mr. Munyon's. "Mr. Munyon's wife came to him a little time before Christmas and said: "George, dear, I'm sorry, but you'll have to give me a $200 check to buy our presents with. I've cut the list down to the bone, but prices are so high, and the list is still so long—" "It's a tall order, $200," said Mr. Munyon, gloomily. "Look here, suppose you don't give me any presents at all this Christmas?" "Oh, George, I could never agree to that." "Yes, yes, you must. Times are mighty hard." "Well, if you insist, George, I consent, just for this once." "Good!", And Mr. Munyon sighed with relief. "Now go through your list again and tell me how big a check you need." "Mrs. Munyon went through the list a second time very carefully, while Mr. Munyon waited with a hopeful smile. "There!' she said at last, 'There, George! You need only to give me a check for $199.50 now.'" Restore Ancient Windows In the year 1326 seven windows, the handwork of the old masters, were presented to Tewkesbury abbey, In Gloucestershire, England, by Eleanor de Clare, wife of Hugh le Despenser. They have long been regarded as among the most treasured possessions of the abbey. Time naturally has had its way with the leadwork, and the glass itself has been damaged and disarranged, but happily not beyond repair. Steps are being taken to have them restored as nearly as possible to their original beauty. The abbey contains in all some really magnificent painted glass and monuments of considerable interest in every corner. The abbey itself had its origin in the Twelfth century. Bank on Shipboard Among conveniences for the comfort of passengers on board the ocean liner Leviathan, one of the latest is a branch bank. This bank has been established by an eastern trust company. About 4,000 persons use the bank each trip. The cashing of checks, the changing of money from one country into the currency of another, issuing of letters of credit, the paying of money on wireless orders, these are some of the chief activities of this seagoing bank. In addition to this the bank issues bulletins of stock quotations day by day, as they are received by radio.-Boston Post. Ad Exclusiveness Radio ads are unique. They contain no pretty pictures of ladies' legs. Duluth Herald. SHEER BLUFF MADE BY SCOUT WON OUT Audacity Dumfounded War Party of Redskins. It was related by a scout named Sage that on one occasion in Kansas in 1848, being out with his friend Grin in search for a fertile place on which to recruit their horses, they had wandered some miles out of sight of the caravan, when, upon descending the ridge of a mound into the hollow beyond, they were confronted by a party of Pawnees. Without pausing to reflect, the traders turned their horses' heads and galloped back the way they had come. The redskins gave rapid chase, and their arrows began to whistle on the still air, H. R. Waterman writes in Adventure Magazine. "There are 500 of the—" exclaimed Grin to his companion. "There are not forty," said Sage. "Twenty dollars on it there are forty," was rejoined. "Twenty dollars, then, is the figure," said Sage. And not slacking their speed for an instant, the hands of the doughty disputants were grasped in confirmation of the bet. "And now, how are we to know who wins?" was the query. "Till count them," said Grin, and thereupon the veteran of the woods wheeled full into the faces of the assailants and, extending the forefinger of the left hand while his right grasped a revolver, deliberately began counting— "One—two—three—four—" Amazed at this turn of affairs and not knowing what to make of it, the foremost Pawnee drew in his pony. Almost within scalping distance, the others came to a halt. Then selzed with dismay at the assurance which enabled a lone man upon-the prairie to breast the full tide of their charge and not being able to surmise what invisible danger was about to burst upon them, their hearts failed them, and hurry-scurry, they bolted off at every point. "Eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two—" The lank finger of the trader slowly wagged in the direction of the receding forms as Sage, taking a curve, came around to his aid. "Thirty-seven, thirty-eight, thirty- line," he uttered with animation, as the last dusky figure dodged behind the crest of the mound. Then turning, with a complacent smile, he said: "There must have been forty. Who wins?" "Make it a draw game, and I'll stand treat," answered Sage, and the chums amicably continued together their quest for water and grass. Modern Girl Superior Girls of today come much nearer being modern Dianas than their sisters of the preceding generations. The physical education department of an Ohio coeducational college has presented the evidence. The modern girl is taller, stronger and heavier than her grandmother and her mother were at the same age. The tests are conclusive, for they represent studies made of 1,600 women entering college in each of three periods: from 1886 to 1903, from 1909 to 1915, and from 1918 to 1922. The average freshman woman, up to 1903, was 5 feet 26-10 inches in height. Her college sister of this day is nearly two inches taller. Various strength tests similarly show the superiority of the modern girl. Feminine styles and the social requirements for women today admittedly are not perfect, although they represent a distinct advance over the last decades of the Nineteenth and the first decade of the Twentieth centuries.—Toledo Blade. Metal in-Home Decoration Dame Fashion has a way of repeating herself. This is proved by the accent now being given to the use of brass and copper in home decoration—a use as old as brass itself; a use which emphasizes the old-fashioned open fireplace, the quiet light of candles. As one writer on the subject of interior decoration puts it, "Always to be counted on to do their part in making cheerful a drab interior, brass and copper, with their scintillating surfaces have been put to the test and have not yet been found wanting." The revival and increase of the use of brass and copper have brought to the fore the business of the meal crafts as expressed in articles fashioned after the styles in vogue in Colonial days. Probably Oldest Bush Dr. Edgar T. Wherry, of the United States Department of Agriculture, told members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science that a box huckleberry bush in Perry county, Pa., is the oldest bush in the world. At least that is his opinion. This remarkable bush is a mile and a quarter long and covers the entire side of a hill. Doctor Wherry estimates that it grows six inches a year. Taking that as a basis the plant must now be something like 12,000 years old.—Pathfinder Magazine. Evidently Latest Style Shopper—You assure me that this is the very latest style? I. D.

MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page 1.) Concern. He is going to make a great business manager. I wish you could have been there, and you would see Bishop Hurst as he is, and would extend him sympathy, for he is striking the right direction for our people. I wish we could get our Baptist convention to do likewise. Just think one church in Jacksonville, put on the table for the conference there more money than all the churches put together did in the Progressive Baptist state convention, and they are trying to do educational work also. I can see now why the Master said, "Compel them to come." We must compel them to do. You must force a man to have his own soul at times, and then you must force him to obey law, to take care of his own body, to educate himself, and get him away from the old saying, "Open your mouth and God will fill it," yes, he will fill it with wind. Now you must fill your head in some institution, and your heart with the love of God, and then God will open your mouth, and love and His praises will come out and the people will be lifted up. They will then do more, give more and work all the harder for the good of the cause. I will not be able to tell you about the Lloyd meeting, but they had the number that John saw, and Dr. D. W. Carter made the speech. I tell you people were there for miles around. I believe there must have been 40 automobile car carriages, saying nothing about the farm wagons, loaded, the buggies, and even old "Buck," the oxen brought this people to see the wonders, and get inspiration to work. The doctrine of self-help was preached. We spent the night returning to Jacksonville, and I am here to pay tribute to the founder of this institution, Mrs. Elizabeth Wright-Menafee, who has reported to God, but the good work is going on just the same. Keep up the good work, Bishop Hurst. Look over my next letters. I have more to say to you all the time. I am expecting to go to Texas this month, and then in June will go back for the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias. I have the invitation from Grand Chancellor Willis to be in Waco, and to see them put it over there. He is one of the greatest leaders of men in America today. Well, we contine to get ready for the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress in Wichita, Kansas, next month. I am going to be there in full force. Look for me. We are pushing the building in Nashville. I may spend a day in Beaumont this month. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Origin of Football However ancient their origins most of our popular games date back only to the athletic revival of the Nineteenth century. As an instance, football. Not till the foundation of the football association in 1863 and the Rugby Football union in 1871 can the two games we know today be said to have taken legal shape. During the Seventeenth century, probably owing to the Puritan movement, football declined in town and country. Electricity in Homes Electricity is now used in half the homes of the United States. From figures for January 1, 1925, it is estimated that the total population of the country is 113,809,000 people and the total number of homes 23,290,889. Also on this date there were 13,232-985 homes wired for electric service. Thus 56.4 per cent of the homes of the nation are now able to enjoy the comfort and convenience of electricity. Disconcerting 'Helen—Won't you go with me to our literary improvement class tomorrow? Mudge—Well, dearle, to be frank with you, I'm just dying to go, but I'm frightened to death someone will ask me a rhetorical question.—Life. A quaint and well-loved philosopher asserted his belief that one must get happiness out of one's work or never know what happiness is. The dictum remains unchallenged, as such things usually do; yet this philosopher's wisdom was the product of his limitations and was inspired by the poverty of his experience. Observe, by way of refutation, the man who burns powder. An autumn day finds him afield, striding through stubble in the wake of a brown-eyed dog. The air is crisp and sweet; the distant hills are blue; the sky above is without a cloud. The dog becomes a statue; there is a whir of wings; the two barrels of gun roar in quick succession. This isn't work, but no fabled king ever was happler than this bronzed hunter. Observe the man on his hands and knees. He is a bear. He growls. He advances with great stealth. Behind a chair a small boy crouches, affecting terror. There is a rush, a very bedlam of ferocious growls, and then ecstatic squeals as the capture is completed. An undignified business, perhaps; but not work. Yet who could be happler than this man who romps with his son? Observe the woman in the chair, interminably rocking, interminably knitting. The rocking and the knitting are not work; they are but accompaniments to the serious business of life. The serious business is talking—interminably talking—about people and their frailties. The dear woman enjoys the sound of her voice; enjoys the appreciative silence of her audiences. The world holds none who are happler than she. Observe the sober folks who sit in pews. Their faces are lighted by a peace that passes understanding. They have found happiness. Observe the young woman on the street, rouged, powdered, freshly bobbed, garbed from head to toe as fashion decrees. She pauses at a shop window to inspect her image. There is nothing on her mind except her precious self. She is a dream and she knows it. And in all the world there is no bliss so flawless and so complete as hers. Happiness, in short, is for those who have the capacity for it. Safety or Disaster Matter of Speculation An amusing story is told illustrating the comforts of sea travel of a generation or so ago. It concerns a nervous old lady who booked a passage aboard a tramp steamer bound from an east African port to Karachi. After a few days at sea a terrific storm broke, and the ramshackle tramp steamer began to reel and plunge violently. Clutching her way along the deck, the passenger presently reached the captain's cabin, where she found that worthy mariner poring over a dirty piece of parchment. "Are we safe?" she gasped. "Madame," replied the skipper, "you see this 'er thing I 'ave in front of me. Well, it is a chart of the Indian ocean. On it you will observe there is a lot of little black dots. Now, madam, if those dots is dirt we're all right. But if they're rocks, madam, we're bound for Kingdom Come." Sparrows Some Speeders A farmer in Belgium decided to test the speed of pigeons and sparrows. Taking the sparrow, which nested on his porch he tagged It and along with four pigeons sent it to a friend at Complegne, France, with instructions to release the birds. The distance was 146 miles. The pigeons had some difficulty in getting their bearings. The sparrow immediately started toward home, where it arrived in an hour and eight minutes. The pigeons did not arrive until much later. Kitten's Interesting Trip A locomotive engineer, who was inspecting his engine before a run, noticed a kitten clinging to the pipe beneath the boiler. He left it there for the moment and then forgot about it. Before he thought of it again the kitten had made two round trips between Jersey City and Crawford, N. J. At Crawford he removed it, and some one took it to the station house. The kitten must have had an interesting story to tell its mother and will probably have a much more interesting one to tell its grandchildren.—Youth's Companion. CLAIMS SURE CURE FOR SCARLET FEVER A serum for scurlet fever has been found which, will cure the most hopeless cases in 24 hours, according to Dr. Francis G. Blake, professor of medicine at the Yale Medical school, the discoverer. The serum is prepared from immunized horses, and 72 cases have been treated at the New Haven hospital, an adjunct of the Yale Medical school. The cases were classified as 43 without complications, and the remainder complicated with measles, typhoid and other diseases. In the first classification, with treatment and single serum injections, before the third day the entire group was cured, he said. In most cases within 12 hours temperature subsided to normal, the rash disappeared and an excess of anti-toxin circulated in the blood. Only one death resulted in the remaining 29 cases, all complicated and treated-on various days from the third to the ninth. A child, in coma, and having typhoid and scarlet fever simultaneously, treated on the eighth day, recovered. NOT IMPRESSED BY AFTER-DINNER TALK Jeff Webb, who has been toastmaster and chairman at innumerable Detroit gatherings, says the really effective speakers always show some signs of nervousness before their turn comes. Once on their feet the symptoms of fright usually disappear. He recalled the story of the man at the banquet who noticed that his neighbor was abstaining from food. "Well, I've got to speak and I can't talk well right after eating." The man listened with unmoved countenance to the speech of his neighbor and when the latter took his seat, leaned over to him and remarked: "Well, I think you mlight as well have et."—Detroit News.
