--- KANSAS Kans.Hist.Society Vol. XI J. O. HAVING OLD AUNT DOLLY TIME Waco, Tex., June 11. I am having one more Old Aunt Dolly time in Texas, but will be out when you read this letter, but before you can get through I think I will be right back in the state, and will be strutting my stuff, and don't you accuse me of using slang either, and if you do I will say something to you that it will not be put into print in the Sunday School Literature of the Sunday School Board of the National Baptist convention, saying nothing about the other publications. I told you that I was going to visit the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias, and honey I am right here now, and they have made me honored guest and I never had such a job since I have been colored, and I am getting much out of it. They have me seated on the throne, with Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, of New Orleans, Supreme Lecturer Roscoe Conkling Simmons, Grand Chancellor C. H. Wickham, from Oklahoma and other big men, and honey I have just one more big head. I would like to have you apply something to hold it down or else I will have to be killed, because there is no cure for the big head disease. Of course, there are two kinds of big heads, "sease" big head and damphule big head. You examine yourself and see if you find that you are getting in either class. The Grand Lodge of Colored Knights of Pythias in Texas is the real thing in this country, and you may put it down that I told you all of this and a few more things to boot. It is composed of some of the best men in Texas, college presidents and professors, doctors, lawyers, merchants, bankers, editors, scholars, and heads of educational departments of churches—in fact any kind of business, trade, profession or what-not, followed by the race can be found in this Grand Lodge, and all these men under the leadership of Prof. W. S. Willis, of Waco-Dallas are just doing things. Of course you know W. S. Willis, for he is a man, every inch of him. He got his education, and got it well, then he spent a number of years in the school room, all the time trying to locate himself or to locate the place where God would have him serve. He was faithful, and kept on keeping on. He took his place at the head of the Willis Construction Company, and in this he was a busy man, and remained in the school room. He took a position with the Knights of Pythias, as secretary-treasurer of the endowment department and in this position made a splendid record, so that when Dr. Prince declined to run, then it was that the brave Knights fastened on W. S. Willis, and made him Grand Chancellor. He assured the members of the Grand Lodge that he was going to give them a business administration, and took hold. All stood off and watched him for a while, and soon they began to follow his lead, and the order began to increase in influence, in membership, in finance, every year until now it takes the front rank in fraternal organizations in Texas, and the good work continues to go on. Wonderful has been the growth of the order under Willis. It has increased in money, in membership, in wealth, in growth, in every particular until now it is the growingsest order in the world. It has demanded all the time of Grand Chancellor Willis, and it was a good investment, because when he was taken out of the school room, out of the construction company, out of everything but the Knights of Pythias, and then asked to move to Dallas where had had erected a mansion, and in this he was to do nothing but to devote his time to the development of the order. It was found that he was worth just five hundred dollars a month in order to permit him to study and work, and this salary was voted him. Here and there was a grumbler, but bless your soul honey, he so directed the affairs of the Grand Lodge until this year, the interest on the money of the order paid all the salaries, carried the expenses, and they had on hand over ten thousand dollars of interest money to go into the sinking fund. Is that what you call doing business. It pays to have at the head of an order a well trained business man, who is not in it to get rich quick, but to serve and then be paid for his service; hence it will not be necessary to scheme to get hold of money that could be turned into the order. THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER The Knights of Pythias have proven to the world that they are sane, and I was glad to be there with them this week. A. S. Jackson is a wheel horse in the order, and he is doing something. He works side by side with Grand Chancellor Willis. Of course you know him, for he is some educator. He is the commissioner of the educational work of the African Methodist Episcopal church, and a good one at that. He is a scholar and an orator. When you know a refined cultured Christian gentleman. I am glad to say that he is my friend. There is another important functionary in the wheel and he is an important spoke in the wheel, and that is the Vice-Grand Chancellor, Prof. L. B. Kincheon, a wonderful man, and a man of great qualities. He is the second man and is next in position to Grand Chancellor Willis. He is some talker, and then he is some worker. If you want to know where he stands just start something against the Knights of Pythias and he will be felt. I found lots of people in the Grand Lodge who sought to shake my lily black hand and assure me that they enjoyed reading after me each week, that they did not realize that I existed and covered so much territory every week. They thought for a while I was a fake, but they were convinced. I have been invited to many places in Texas and other states, cities and towns, and I think I will accept some of them after while. I am now headed for New Orleans, where I will spend a few hours and from there I will be off for Texas again, and then to Kansas. I wish to see many of my friends in Kansas, where they have a real man for Governor, a man who is keeping his word and a man who is worthy of the position he was elected to last fall, Governor Ben S. Paulen. I am so glad that Hon. Clyde W. Miller is his private secretary, for he is a man of integrity, and a man whose desire is to do the right and keep his word under all circumstances. He is the kind of man to hold that kind of position. I wrote to you last week from Tyler, Texas, and I got here, was assigned to stop in the palatial home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Jones, North 7th street. It was a good stopping place, and I am just being lifted up by coming in contact with these high up Pythians. They are here from everywhere, and the people of Texas consider this everywhere. Of course, you know Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, of New Orleans, he is here and he is inspiring the men and women. He is now getting ready for the Supreme Lodge in Louisville, Kentucky, August 18. These people are going to be there in large numbers and you may put it down that I told you so. Roscoe Conkling Simmons was here and he was the orator for the occasion, and Dr. C. B. Wickham was there, and I am right here myself, among all the other big men. This was commencement time at Paul Quinn college, and believe me when I tell you that these men are not playing at education but they mean business. They had steen college graduates, and Bishop William Decker Johnson delivered the address, and you may know that it was an address. He inspired these young people I am sure. He is interested in his people. Presiding elders, and pastors, and others were here. It was the annual meeting of the trustees of the college, and they had what was known as a spring rally, and now this is what happened: Texas conference, $2,812.93; West Texas, $1,110.90; Northeast, $1315.46; Central, $2,439; Southwest, $2,425; North, $1,869; Northwest, $625; East, $1,957.33; S. J. Johnson, A M. LL.D., $30; A. S. Jackson, A. M., PhD., $30, a total planked down on the table by the above conferences, $14,093.72. That is going some, and there were others to be heard from and people were putting money on the table when I left. The college conferred the degree of Master of Art on several including Mrs. L. M. Hughes, who is at the head of the Missionary Department of the women of the African Methodist Episcopal church, taking in the whole nation. She is a great woman, and I don't mind saying this much about her. Now then, we find W. S. Willis, the Grand Chancellor, and he received the degree and the same is true of our good friend J. E. Smith, Grand Keeper of Records and Seal. These are ripe scholars and leaders and they are doing things. I have been in company with Ed- THE LEAGUE The meeting of the League last night was fairly well attended, and considerable business, was transacted. One of the most important things accomplished was the featuring of the Drive for Five Hundred members, which will be pushed with vigor, until the number is attained. A committee was appointed to confer with the Mayor and commissioners, in regard to taxation for the Fairfax sewer. At the next meeting, Tuesday evening June 23, plans will be perfected for Boys' Week, which will be the week ending September 22, on which day will be the celebration of The Emancipation Proclamation. A full attendance is expected at that time, as much and arduous work will have to be done, to make the affair a great success. Several short and sensible addresses were given. on subjects of interest, the most important was that of Group Co-operation, and concert of action, on all matters and things, which lead to, and make for the best in community existence, and citizenship generally. Our slogan, "The Best Way to get the Best—is for everyone to Do his BEST—at every time and place it becomes necessary for him to act. I. F. BRADLEY, Pres. C. L. JONES. Sec. DIS TRICT CONFERENCE CLOSED THURSDAY NIGHT The district conference Allen league Sabbath school and Mite Missionary of the Nebraska conference, Kansas City District, that open Tuesday at Trinity Institutional A. M. E. church corner of Greely avenue and Fifth street for a three day session closed Thursday night. All of the sessions were interesting and the district supervised over by that little giant, Dr. W. T. Osborne, showed he had the work of his district well organized. Bishop A. J. Carey was present on Wednesday all day and gave some inspiring talks. Rev. Mr. Winston is pastor and he and his congregation nicely took care of the ministers and delegates. Mr. and Mrs. W. T.

Rice, of the Dallas Express, and I have been with that modest young. man, Clarence E. Starks,—in fact I have been with many here. I cannot tell it all this week. So many people shook my lily black hand, and I have been invited to visit many parts of Texas, and I may do this yet. Look out for me. Soon I will be in the National Baptist Sunday School Congress which meets in Wichita, Kansas, June 23. J. O. MIDNIGHT. ADVOCATE COL. J. D. JONES KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT It was with great sadness and regret when the editor received the news Tuesday, that J. D. Jones of Wichita, Kansas, met his death last Friday night in an automobile accident in his home city. John D. Jones was one who really stood for something and his friends were everywhere. He was brilliant in intellect and was in everything for good. No one in his city stood higher than he. Mr. Jones was a devoted churchman and was much interested in fraternalism, he being on the staff of General Kennedy, as inspector general, with the rank of colonel, of the Uniform Rank of Knights of Pythias. He was one of Wichita's efficient and popular mail carriers. He leaves a wife and a five month's baby daughter. Miss Kathryn Randolph, the evangelist that held a series of meetings at First A. M. E. church some few weeks ago, stopped off in the city from Monday of last week until Thursday, leaving that evening for the East, where she will labor for souls. Miss Randolph closed a revival at Pueblo, Colorado Sunday night before coming here. It is said Miss Randolph is desirous of returning to Kansas City again at some future date. G. W. Blake of Loving, New Mexico, the father of LeElla and Volney Blake, 830 Nebraska avenue, is visiting them and the Stevens family who they have lived with for a number of years. Miss Blake attended Manhattan college this year and Volney was a student at Western university. Mrs. S. D. Rhone of Atchison, the former pastor wife of Trinity A. M. E. church is visiting friends here and attended the District conference here this week at Trinity church. Military Etiquette In the Jugoslav army there is to be observed an interesting difference in military manners. The army is composed of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The traditions of the Serbs favor the spirit of comradeship between officers and men. Off duty the two regard each other as equals. The Croats and Slovenes have been accustomed to Austrian etiquette, which is modeled on the Prussian, under which the men are regarded as inferior creatures. A major in a Slovene cavalry regiment has just resigned his commission. He could not tolerate the sight of his Serb colonel sitting in a restaurant engaged in friendly conversation with one of his soldiers. Fruit Stand on One Tree In the Transvaal a remarkable tree has been grown as an experiment. has been grown as an experiment. A lemon tree was trimmed until only three branches remained. Upon one was grafted an orange, upon another a grapefruit, while the third was allowed to remain a lemon, with the result that the tree is now bearing all three fruits at once. The tree has the dark and paler green leaves belonging to the various fruits. About six specimens of each of the fruits grew on the tree this year. Showers - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 DEATH TAKES WIFE OF SUPERVISOR S. D. SCRUGGS Mrs. Anna Mae Scruggs, the estimable wife of Mr. Sherman D. Scruggs, supervisor of the colored schools, passed away Monday night at 8:45 o'clock at their home, 433 Parallel avenue. Mrs. Scruggs had only been sick three weeks. She was a model companion and much devoted to her home. A baby was born to them about three weeks prior to her death, when complications set in resulting in her death. She was a member of First Baptist Church, corner of Nebraska avenue and Fifth street, where the funeral was held Thursday afternoon. Rev. W. A. Bowren her pastor officiating. The Advocate extends to the bereaved its sincere sympathy in the hour of their sorrow. The Choral club of some forty voices under the supervision of Professor Brown of Northeast Junior High School, with solos, quartettes, and duets, piano, violin and saxophone numbers, rendered a most excellent program Sunday evening at First A. M. E. church. A large audience was present and greatly enjoyed this musicale of talented young men and women. The entire chorus went to Topeka Monday night, where they entered the statewide contest at the Federation of Colored Women clubs. An Illustrator The late Guernsey Moore, the artist, disliked illustrations that did not accurately follow the text they were supposed to illustrate. "I was talking to a famous illustrator the other day," Mr. Moore said in Germantown, "and I asked him this question: "Penn, what is the most interesting story you ever illustrated?" "Dunno," said Penn. 'Never read any of 'em.' Will Vaccinate Plants Experiments to make trees and plants immune from disease by vaccination and so reduce the cost of food production are to be tried soon under the direction of Prof. Robert A. Harper of Columbia university, says Popular Science Monthly. A plant clinic will be established for the experimental control of diseases by serums and vaccines. Such Is Fate! When the Titanic went down in 1912, Oscar Palmquist of New York saved himself by swimming about for hours in ley waters until picked up by a rescue ship. Recently Palmquist fell into five feet of water in Beardsley park at Bridgeport, Conn., and was drowned. Many Visit Waterloo The tourist stream that every year now visits the Argonne and the devastated regions. has not diminished the number of visitors that seek out the field of Waterloo. Thousands of Englishmen and Americans have not forgotten the close of the Napoleonic epic of 110 years ago. Shoe-Shine Machines Penny-in-the-slot shoe-cleaning machines now are in use in several cities. The penny starts a brush revolving which shields the shoes. Number 43 COMMENCEMENT AT WESTERN UNIVERSITY LARGEST ATTENDED IN HISTORY 102 Diplomas and Certificates Were Given to Those Who Merited Them HON. PATRICK O'DONALD DELIVERED THE COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS The Twenty-ninth Annual Commencement of Western University, which took place last Thursday, June 4, was in every way the largest and most satisfactory in the history of the institution. The large tent seating more than two thousand, was filled and hundreds were on the outside. As has been customary the students, trustees and visitors marched from the girls' dormitory, lead by their excellent college cadet band to the tent, which was on the campus of Ward-Parks halls. The principal speaker was Patrick O'Donald, a prominent lawyer of Chicago and a life-long friend of the race. His address to the class was one of great worth. The speaker turned on the light of oratory and when through left his vast audience blaze with his logic and philosophy. The graduates of which 102 diplomas and certificates were given out, looked fine in their robes and caps. Each one showed their commencement smile on receiving their sheep skin. The class was without a doubt one of great hope to their parents and the race. Bishop A. J. Carey was delighted and highly pleased with the work of the school, this being his first year as its general supervisor. F. Jessie Peck, president, was re-elected and there were but few changes in the faculty, they being minor ones. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear one, Booth Smith, who passed out June 10, 1923. Of the grief that is borne in silence For our dear one we loved so well. Friends may think our wound has healed, But they little know the sorrow That lies within our hearts concealed. —Sadly missed by Mother, Father, Wife and sons. CITY BRIEFS AND IN SOCIETY.

Foiling Mailbox Thief A favorite trick of the letter-box thief is to fish through the slot with a piece of string, on the end of which is a weight smeared with adhesive that sticks to the letters, says Popular Science Monthly. To foll his efforts there recently has been devised a screen of steel prongs screwed inside the box just above the slot. The prongs make it practically impossible to pull a letter through the slot, although it is easy enough for the postman to insert the letter. Radio Plumber There was something wrong with the radio, and Tomkins had called in a friend, an amateur wireless expert, to advise him. It did not take the latter long to discover the seat of the trouble. "It's quite an ordinary fault," he informed Tomkins. "Your aerial is leaking." "Leaking," repeated Mrs. Tomkins, who was taking an intelligent interest in the proceedings, "What a pity we didn't know yesterday, when the plumber was here!"—Tit-Bits.

CHURCH NEWS Sunday was a warm day, but those who love their church and its influence came out to hear the word of God. It was communion day and large numbers availed themselves of the opportunity. Rev. C. E. Brooks, the pastor, delivered a wonderful sermon for the occasion. Many rejoiced, as the messenger of God told the story of a loving Savior, who died such a crucial death for the sins of all mankind. The choral and glee club of Northeast High School rendered a fine musical program at the evening service, which was wonderfully enjoyed by a large audience. At 9:30 a. m. the Sunday School had its usual large attendance: The lesson was studied with much interest by the pupils and discussed by the teachers.

Many friends will bring their baskets to help feed the crowd. Come and stay all day. Don't miss this rare treat. Dutch Cows Given All The bovines are the only type of animal that furnishes man with food through infancy and maturity and consequently are treated with consideration by every nation for sentimental as well as economic reasons, receiving greater care than humans in some countries. Cows in Holland are treated with as much consideration as human belings. They have the best of food. Their sheds are furnished. They even have overcats when they go out. There are lace curtains in the windows of many Dutch cowsheds. And the floors are laid with shining white tiles, kept spotlessly clean. Lest her tail should drag in the dirt, the Dutch cow has it held up by a neat chain from the roof. Her horns are scrubbed and polished. She is carefully groomed. She spends eight months of the year indoors. To lighten the darkness of winter the cowshed is provided with electric lights. There is also some kind of heating system. Dirt Cheap The late Samuel Gompers, condemning the pardon of two notorious lawbreakers, said one day to a Washington correspondent: "The short time these men have served, about a tenth of their actual sentences, reminds me of a story. It's a story about a bogus oil stock millionaire who motored a friend out to his new home on Long Island. The friend gazed in awe at the vast pile. "Three months is all,' answered the millionaire." THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES The sermon preached at Metropolitan Baptist Church, Sunday, June 7, was one of Pastor Bronson's masterpieces. The subject was "Christ was Crucified." It caused the Holy Spirit to manifest itself among the Christians. After the sermon Pastor Bronson asked for volunteers and hundreds marched forward and took the pledge on the open Bible to begin a special fight against sin. It was a beautiful sight to see that vast Christian Army promise to go forth to battle for the Lord. The Sunday School, B. Y. P. U. and all departments are expected to assist. At 8 p. m. Pastor Bronson preached another great sermon, and hundreds partook of the Lord's Supper. Next Sunday, June 14, is Children's Day and a glorious time is expected. All are invited to attend this church at all times. The Pantomime play for the Wide Awake Club and Choir was said to be good. Mrs. Alice Masterson played the leading part.

Work for the Camera Archeologists always find it rather difficult to keep their native diggers up to the mark. But the men who are excavating the Punic ruins at Utica, near Carthage, have found out that all they need to do is to take moving pictures of the work. The laborers who know that the reels are to be shown at the moving picture theater in Tunis, where they can enjoy the felicity of seeing themselves on the screen, display the most extraordinary industry. Count De Prorak, the head of the expedition, says that, if the Carthaginians had had the moving picture camera instead of the whip with which to spur their slaves to labor, they could have erected temples and palaces that would have reached the clouds.

"I took a look and told him there wasn't none then, but if I ricklylected correctly there had been a post card or suth'n that-a-way a few days before, but 'twasn't there now. He wanted to know what had become of it, and I told him I hadn't no more idy than a rabbit." "That's a hellva way to do, with a feller's mail!" says he. "Don't you like my way of running this yur postoffice!" I axed him. "No, I don't!" says he. "Well then, by gosh, you just take it-and run it yoreself, and b'durn to you!" says I. And I got right out and left the devilish office on his hands. That's presizey what I done!"—Kansas City Star.

He was ten years old, says Our Dumb Animals. "His name was Carrier Pigeon No. 18314 A. F. and attached to one of his legs he proudly wore a ring, equivalent to the medallie militaire, awarded to him in June, 1916, with the following citation: "On three different occasions, during the battle of Verdun, under heavy fire, insured the rapid transport of very important messages. In particular carried to headquarters the communications of Major Raynal, defender, of Fort Vaux, on June 3, 1916, at a time when the major's troops, completely surrounded, were deprived of any other means of communication. The flights were done under most unfavorable atmospheric conditions." Since the armistice the pigeon had been kept as an honored hero in the army dovecotes. President's Occupations There has never been a president of the United States who was a minister. Washington was a farmer and surveyor. William Henry Harrison studied medicine, but turned to the army and later to politics. Taylor was a soldier and a Louisiana cotton planter. Johnson was a taller and Grant a tanner, farmer, real estate agent, hardware clerk and soldier. Roosevelt's profession was politics from his twenty-second year on. Harding was a newspaper man. All the others, after various beginnings, were lawyers. "The Ribs of the King" "The Kibs of the King" In the courts of the Irish Free State mention of the king is being discontinued. There is no longer a "king's bench." Hitherto the criminal department of that court has been known as "the crown side." As the Irish language has been placed on an equality with Eng'ish in the courts a republican lawyer, translating "crown side," rendered it "taobh an righ"—"the side of the king" and was laughed at by scholars who said his Irish phrase really meant "the king's ribs."

When the tourist steps off the steamer and enters the town the first thing that attracts his attention is, of course, the strange dresses of the native women and the flowing mantles and headgear of the men. The second thing that attracts the attention of the curious tourist is the fact that the whole Arabian city seems to be filled with old men, none under fifty, and many so old that the creases in their faces are half an inch deep. These old men never work, their days of labor are at an end. Just as soon as an Algerian has raised his family to the point where that family can work the old man is told to take a rest, his children will support him. So he gets a few packages of cigarettes, some money for coffee and goes down towx to spend the days in gossip, argument and poetic imaginations. Unless something terrible happens, the old man never again takes up the burden of hard labor, but sits around and offers sage advice and the strange fact is that the children are actually delighted that they are able to keep the father in luxury and ease, while inside the house the routine is handled by the mother, while the daughters either sit in the shade or go out to goosip with the neighbors. Seeks Pirate Fortune A claim for pirate millions deposited in a Bombay bank, has been made at Milan by Signor Guglielmo Calouz. He states that he is a direct descendant of Frederico del Re, an Italian naval officer who fled from 'Italy in the Eighteenth century after killing a man during a quarrel. He was captured by pirates, and later became a pirate himself. The chief of the band took a liking to Del Re, and appointed him second in command. It is declared further that when the pirate chief died he left Del Re his entire fortune. Frederico del Re afterwards settled in Madagascar, and handed over the greater part of his wealth for safe keeping to the British East India company. His descendants, it is claimed, never knew of this treasure until its existence was revealed recently by the chance discovery of an old document in Madagascar. Signor Calouz1 now intends to bring a legal action to recover the fortune for himself and his relatives. Relic of Stone Age A prehistoric arsenal dating back to the Stone age has been found near Strood, England. It appears to be the remains of a prehistoric "workshop," and is on a chalk cliff close to Frindsbury church, within sight of Rochester cathedral. Working on a slight clue, after eight days' digging, the searchers unearthed some 4,000 flint weapons and tools. "All the flints were found in heaps about three feet high, and there were 17 separate heaps exactly as they had been piled up when the workmen knocked off work—possibly 50,000 years ago. Everybody was greatly disappointed that no human bones were found. The men who chipped these flints were living in Britain when the woolly rhinoceros and the hairy elephant roamed the Medway valley."
