Vol. X11 MISSOURI SEVENTY- FIRST CONFERENCE Bishop A. J. Carey Entertains the Entire Missouri Conference at an Elaborate Banquet at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church On Thursday last following the educational mass meeting at St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Bishop A. J. Carey presiding bishop of the Fifth Episcopal District entertained in honor of the Missouri conference. Covers were laid for two hundred fifty guests with Attorney George L. Vaughan acting as toastmaster. Other invited guests were Claude A. Barnett, president of the Negro Associated Press; J. B. Isaacs, speaker of the evening. This act of the bishop created a great deal of comment because of the unusual nature of the affair. It was reported by those old enough in the conference to know that this is the first time in the history of the conference that such a step has been taken by the bishop. Thus giving a distinctive setting to the seventy-first annual session of the Missouri conference. The conference convened on Wednesday evening in Olive Chapel Kirkwood, Mo., with an annual sermon preached by Rev. A. Phillips pastor of Quinn Chapel and followed by the Holy Communion. The organization of the conference brought W. H. Barnett secretary; W. H. H. Jones, recording secretary; A. C. Thurman, statistician, and J. B. St. Felix Isaacs, conference accountant. The reports of the three presiding elders of the district showed a total sum of eleven thousand five hundred sixty-one dollars and twenty-three cents ($11,561.23) collected for all purposes with outstanding amounts as follows: Dollar money, $5,150.37; missionary, $1,460.70; education $2,279.00. The conference was graced by the presence of Dr.-E. H. Coit, secretary of missions, who electrified the audience with his elegance and stirring appeal for the sacred cause of missions at a mass meeting on Thursday night. The educational rally was held at St. Paul church, St. Louis, in order to entertain the large crowd and the educational address was delivered by J. B. St. Felix Isaacs at which time $714.00 were laid on the table for education. The ordination sermon on Sunday morning was delivered by Rev. W. B. Brooks, D. D. of St. Joseph Mo. Throughout the entire week Bishop Carey won the respect and admiration of the large audiences that greeted him by his fatherly counsel and priestly admonition in his Episcopal addresses. Truly the good bishop is leaving his impression on the activities of the conferences of the Fifth Episcopal district. The closing session of the conference was held at St. James Church where the conference will convene in 1926. Appointment are as follows: North St. Louis district: Presiding elder, W. H.

Can't Fool Him This Year HA HA CROP REPORTS AND PRICES 1925 PRESSMAN 800 800 (Copyright W. X. It.) MAN'S MEMORY OF HIS CANINE PETS Dogs One Has Owned Not Easily Forgotten. A man may mark and remember the various periods of his life in many ways—by his work, his income, or abode. But the true dog-lover does it by his dogs. It is extraordinary how vividly the memory of each canine pet springs to mind to symbolize the period to which it belonged. There was Tinker, that fat, lazy, good-tempered retriever of your childhood, who let you pull his tall, ride on his back, and shove him about all over the place. Tender recollections of your own parents are aroused at sight of that faded photograph of his shaggy head. Then there was Spree, that rikish, devil-may-cure, rather flash fox-terrier you had at eighteen. How quarrelsome, conceited, narrow-minded and touchy about his rights he was—just like his master! He, too, marks a definite period. After that, perhaps, there followed dogless years when your brief strutting on the stage of adolescence finished, you settled down to frugal living and hard work. Your next dog came when you were married and started a new life in a home of your own. Probably, as you look back across the vanished years, Jane seems to you the favorite dog of all, companion in -the struggles and successes of what should be the happiest time in every man's life. So gentle and affectionate she was, so understanding and loyal, never seeing your funits, taking you for granted, making the best of you always, supplying you with many a silent lesson for your own soul's good, if you were not too proud or blind to take it. Leo, the mastif, marked your migration into a larger house with ample grounds. He saw you and your wife into comfortable maturity, and your children well started on their respective journeys into the big outside world before he died. Education expenses being done with forever, you bought that big touring car you had always dreamed of, and spent your simpler leisure travelling about. Your regular companion at this period was Bill the bulldog, who developed such a passion for motoring that he would sit on the front sent beside you, smiling the air for hours, and would have defended the car in your absence with his life. And then your last and living dog, black Sambo, the spaniel, who is growing old and deaf along with you. His pleasure is to sit by the blazing fire and doze, a conservative dog of fixed and punctual habits, abhorring Bolshevism and change. Six generations of dogs you have loved, and outlived, and partially forgotten, transferring your affections lightly from one to another. If it be fated for Sambo to outlive you, will he prove less unfaithful to your memory, or will he take his bones and gravy with unimpaired gusto from the hands of another?—M. S. in the Continental Edition of the London Mall. Kept His Word "Before Bill was married he said he'd be boss in his own house or know the reason why." "And now he's married?" "He knows the reason why."

PAUL MEMBERS, AND FRIENDS MEMBERS AND FRIENDS Rev. C. E. Brooks, new pastor of St. Paul preached an eloquent and touching sermon last Sunday morning in his initial 11 o'clock sermon. His remarks deeply impressed the congregation and he at once won a warm place in the hearts of all present. Rev. Brooks is a highly cultured Christian gentleman with a record of splendid achievements covering a period of over a quarter of a century. He has always been a staunch defender of the citizenship rights of the race and will prove a valuable adjunct to Wichita circles. St. Paul extends Rev. Brooks and his estimable wife a hearty welcome and pledges earnest Christian cooperation.—Wichita Protest. WOMEN'S COMMERCIAL CLUB. The Women's Commercial Club called its last meeting at Mrs. A.

Number 11 NOT CONVENTIONAL AT CHURCH SERVICE French and Belgians Differe From English. The French, because they are formal, have more religious style than the Belgians, but considerably less than the English. There is too much thrusting of money boxes under one's nose in Brussels, and I was terribly disturbed by hearing the jingling of coins almost at the moment of elevation. In France there is still style in the faith. The money boxes are there, too; and must of necessity be there for the churches have no endowments, but the collecting is more-decently done, although I could wish that the collectors would not give sibilant thanks to each person who contributes. When a man surrenders himself to the mysteries, he dislikes to hear a persistent hissing, "Merci bien," making a monotonous chorus to his prayers. One must be on his guard against the habit of assuming that a thing is wrong because it is unusual or different from what he is accustomed to, and I acknowledge freely, that I find the French on easier and, I think, happier terms with their faith than the English are with theirs, St. John Ervine writes, in the London Observer Behavior which would seem irrelevant in St. Paul's or in Westminster cathedral is perfectly respectful in Notre Dame or the Madelaine, because the Frenchman, oddly enough, is more individual in his religious expression than the Englishman. We are very individual about the foundations of faith, but very conventional and corporate about the ritual of it. In a Devonshire village well known to me there are four different sects flourishing among a population of just over a thousand people, ranging from the established church to the Plymouth Brethren. There's individuality for you, and refusal to submit to priestly domination! But inside that great and indubitable individualism there is an equally indubitable convention that the services, however dissimilar they may be from each other, shall resemble in this, that they shall be done with seemliness and in a corporate manner. The Frenchman cares less for this ritualism and organized devotion than we do. He makes his private profession of thanks to the Almighty in complete disregard of any general service that may be proceeding when he enters the church. He has no sense of horror at being "late for church." No one ever hears in a French home the dreadful exclamation, "There, the bell's stopped!" No Frenchman ever turned away from the church door or crept into an obscure seat because the equivalent of "I will arise and go to my Father" had begun before he could reach his accustomed place. For him, the service begins precisely at the moment when he enters the church and ends precisely at the moment when he leaves it. His business is with God, not with the community. It is somewhat disconcerting to those who have been brought up in the English tradition of churchgoing to observe French men and women drifting in and out of church during a service, but the imagination, when it is used, quickly informs us that there is devotion in these apparent drifters, and that their business with God is not carelessly conducted. One is told that France is atheistic and faithless, but I doubt if there are many complaints there, such as we hear in England, of empty churches. Bulletin of Interest To those who are interested in the cultivation of rubber trees a bulletin on the "Possibilities for Para Rubber Production in the Philippine Islands," recently issued by the United States Department of Commerce, makes instructive reading. This bulletin contains the report of a commission sent out by the Department of Commerce to investigate conditions in the Philippines with reference to the cultivation of rubber. Incorporated in the findings is the report of Mark Baldwin, soil expert of the Department of Agriculture, an Indiana man, who was chosen to represent his department on the commission. It deals exclusively with the soils of those parts of the islands which could be inspected during the allotted time of the visit. The remainder of the report consists of findings regarding climate, sources of labor, land laws, wages, health conditions, transportation and other matters. Wildcat's Finish When Mrs. Leon Ostrom of Liberity, Pa., saw a wildcat swimming toward the shore of the duck pond with one of her ducks in its mouth, she became a determined woman. She armed herself with a club, and followed the cat until it ran under a jog. By jabbing the cat with a pointed stick, she forced it to turn upon her and then stunned it with a club, subsequently beating it to death. THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Proprietor. THOS.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Dean Swift Learned "King William III taught me the Dutch way of eating asparagus," wrote Dean Swift in his "Journal to Stella." What Dutch William's method was we may guess from the following story: It was about the time of a certain year that Dean Swift was acting host to his Dublin publisher, George Faulkener. Asparagus was served and the guests asked for a second helping. Swift, however, pointed to the other's plate, and said, "Sir, first finish what is before you." "What!" exclaimed Faulkener, "eat my stalks?" "Aye, sir," replied Swift, in his most imperious manner; "eat your stalks, or you will have no more. King William III always eats his stalks." When relating this story Faulkener was asked if he really did eat the stalks. To which he replied: "Yes, certainly; and if you had dined with Dean Swift tete-n-tete you would have been obliged to eat your stalks, too!"—London Post. Students Show More Interest in History A marked rise in the interest in history since the World war is seen in the increased enrollment in history correspondence courses of the University of Wisconsin extension division says an official bulletin. Some 226 students completed their history courses in the two years from 1922 to 1924, as compared with 232 who completed their courses in the twelve-year period from 1908 to 1920. In 1918 the enrollment in history was 895, and in 1924 the total had climbed to 3.442. "The popularity of the course reflects public opinion decidedly," said Miss M. L. Edwards, in charge of the extension history department. "After the war the demand was chiefly for a general European history course. After the Egyptian tombs brought the King Tut craze, our ancient history courses swelled in enrollment. The demand for American history is constant." Ancients Were Advertisers In ancient Greece certain spaces on the outer walls of homes were used for advertising purposes, either to offer real estate or homemade articles for sale or to designate a place of residence or barter. In Pompeii when it was uncovered, many such walls were found and Roman ruins revealed that real estate especially was offered in that way. The first newspaper advertisement did not actually appear until about 1647, it is said. The cost was about $1 for 2 inches per person reached. In big dailies now the cost is about 1 cent per page per home reached. Guard Proves He's Alive London is full of tourists from practically all countries and most of the overseas visitors never fall to be interested in the stalwart guardsmen on duty at the Horse Guards headquarters in Whitehall. Some stare at them deliberately and one French girl refused to believe one motionless figure was alive. She stood alone and gazed harder, then suddenly joined her English friends looking somewhat flushed. She explained that the soldier was real after all—he had deliberately winked at her. Women students were admitted this year to study agriculture in the college of agriculture at Los Banos, Philippine islands, and seven are now enrolled. Several have petitioned for admission to the farm school at Munos, but so far their application has been denied. Vast Salt Reds A bed of salt-averaging 500 feet in thickness is said to be under the surface soil of 40,000 square miles of Texas and is believed to exist far into New Mexico, Oklahoma and Kansas.

Inability to Translate I know not how it is that we need an interpreter, but the great majority of men seem to be minors, who have not yet come into possession of their own, or mutes, who cannot report the conversation they have had with Nature. There is no man who does not anticipate a supersensual utility in the sun and stars, earth and water. These stand and wait to render him a peculiar service. But there is some obstruction or some excess of phlegm in our constitution which does not suffer them to yield the due effect. Too feeble fall the impressions of Nature on us to make us artists. Every touch should thrill.—Emerson. New Idea in Night Clubs In the large cities where they have "night clubs," which are in reality only exclusive or semi-exclusive cafes for dancing and entertainment, a tiny baby grand plano has been placed on rollers and the player rolls it around the floor, playing particular pieces of music for the guests as they may request. The plano is small enough to be rolled in between the tables and its tones are eminently satisfactory, it is said. Oldest Joke What is the oldest joke in the world? No one knows exactly, but one of the oldest is still a favorite. King Archelaus of Macedonia, more than 2,300 years ago, summoned a barber. "How shall I cut your hair, sire?" the barber asked. "In silence," answered the king. Question of Sumency "You seem troubled about your gardening proposition."

THE KANSAS.CITY ADVOCATE TEMPLE NOTES A large congregation assembled Sunday, September 25, at Metropolitan Baptist Church to hear the revival sermon that 'Dr. Stevenson would preach before leaving for his home, and they were repaid by receiving a great discourse from the visiting preacher. Several joined the church, among them Mrs. Emma Brown Pope from St. Loupis, and her two children. At 8 p. m. Pastor Bronson preached spiritually and more united with the church. Rev. Morrow, of Atchison, preached his first revival sermon here on Monday night. Hundreds of Christians went forward for consecration. At this revival they have good service, rain or shine. Sinners are coming over on the Lord's side, and backsliders being reclaimed. Over 20 persons have received or were renewed by the Holy Spirit in one week. The meeting goes on this week and over Sunday, November 1st. Saints and sinners are asked to attend and take part. A baptising will be held in the near future. Sunday is also the day for the Lord's Supper. The A. M. E.'s attended our praver meting in a body at 6 p. m. last Sunday. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. are doing well. The Week-Day Religious school has over 300. Pastor Bronson, supervisor of all schools of our group, sent Principal Matthews, Assistant Principal Booker, and Mrs. Z. Nelson and Mrs. Bailey to the Board meeting last Monday night, as he cannot leave revival. Religious schools will be held on Tuesday, November 3rd, just next week, and after that will be held on Wednesdays again. Come to Metropolitan church, Friday night and Sundays, and take part. Sick reported, Sunday were: Mrs. Minnie Taylor, Mr. Frank Taylor, and Trustee Lewis. Making Monkeys Work In Pattani, a southern province of Slam, and in Kelantan, one of the unfederated Mayal states, monkeys are trained by the natives to pick coconuts and edible seed pods for their masters. The romantic notion, says a writer in Science, that monkeys naturally climb coconut palms and throw down the nuts out of mischief or from a desire to oblige is pure fiction. The monkeys must be caught young and carefully trained to their jobs by attaching them to a long pole, on the top of which is fastened a bunch of fruit. The animals quickly learn to run up to the fruit and throw it down for their own food. Having once mastered the main idea, as it were, they can then be perfected in their profession in the palm trees. New Bird Trap "I was visiting Oakland cemetery here in Atlanta, Ga., and Mr. Henning the superintendent, showed me how a bird had been caught; in fact the bird showed him how. There was an empty fruit jar sitting up near one of the walks. An insect of some kind dropped into the jar. The bird went in and got it, but in trying to get out he had to open, his wings as if flying. His wings opened and he would always fall back into the jar."—Pathfinder Magazine. Opera in Palestine The Hebrew Opera company, organized only two years ago, has proved that it can successfully conduct opera in Palestine. The company has produced seven operas with a total of fifty-one performances and the proceeds have been more than enough to cover investment and expenditures. The company has grown from a small group of enthusiastic opera lovers, mobilized by Doctor Gollinkin, a former conductor of Leningrad. Ship Finally Gone The steamer Fenlx, which, it was asserted, was the oldest in the world in active service, recently was destroyed by fire at Koeplg, Sweden. Built in 1848 at Motala wharf, the boat had been making regular trips between Koeplg and Stockholm. Since its launching it had been renamed several times and was rebuilt in 1900. At the time of its destruction there were 16 passengers besides the crew aboard, all of whom escaped.

Messing It He (swearing)—On my word of honor—as a gentleman. She—Oh, why did you have to go and spoil it?—Like. Played Golf in Old One doesn't as a rule think of the Dutch of old Nieuw Amsterdam as sportsmen. Washington Irving has left us an indelible picture of a stout person, smoking an enormous pipe, or at most, playing at bowls with much puffing and straining. As a matter of fact, however, they were ardent sportsmen. They raced, boated, skated, even golfed, with zeal. It is a matter of record that in 1650 Peter Stuyvesant had to issue an edict forbidding the followers of the grand old Scotch game from driving their balls on the streets of the town. It appears that in their zeal, the burghers had been using the thoroughfares as fairways, and great was the danger of life and limb of the innocent bystanders. Imagine driving a golf ball from Taylor's east on Petticont lane during the noon hour! And then they talk about motor cars. Showed That Hill Eighty-nine years ago, on the Philadelphia & Columbia railroad, it was first demonstrated that ascents could be made by railway locomotives. Before that time the upgrade from the Schuylkill had been made by the ald of stationary engines and ropes. Thus another objection to the steam railroad was shown to be useless. Previously, the "wise ones"—the chronic objectors to all innovations—had sagely observed that while locomotives might be all very well on a level, they would be useless in the "hill country." This judgment was accepted as final until July 10, 1836, when the management of the Philadelphia & Columbia road determined to put it to a test. To the utter amazement of the spectators the locomotive puffed slowly but surely up the incline. Element of Pure Value Doubtless there is in every art an element of mere knowledge . . . and that element is progressive. But there is another element, too, which does not depend on knowledge, and which does not progress, but has a kind of stationary and eternal value, like the beauty of the dawn, or the love of a mother for her child, or the joy of a young animal in being alive, or the courage of a martyr facing torment. We cannot for all our progress get beyond these things; there they stand, like light upon the mountains. The only question is whether we can rise to them.-Sir Gilbert Murray, in "The Legacy of Greece." Little Difference At a chateau where he was recently a guest a certain Parisian who does not approve of the boyish appearance of the modern young girl was approached by a lady guest. "You have two children, I believe, monsleur," said she. "Are they boys or girls? "Madame," said he earnestly. "I do not know. In 1920 I had a boy of twelve and a girl of fourteen. But now I am not sure. I believe they are both boys. At all events I assure you that it is quite impossible for me to tell which is the boy and which is the girl."—Le Figaro, Paris. Yugo-Slavia Water Power Within the borders of that modern Balkan state, Yugo-Slavia, there are water-power sites available for hydroelectric development which could produce 8,056,000 horse power of electrical energy. Along the Drau river there are sites which could produce approximately 400,000 horse power, while nearly 750,000 horse power of electrical energy could be produced by hydro plants along the Danube. Parents Co-Operating California has a larger membership than any other state in the National Congress of Parents and Teachers—129,212 out of a total membership of 875,000. One hundred and ninety-three new associations were organized in the state this year. The Consumer's Dollar Of the consumer's dollar 79.6 per cent is the average required for necessities, including shelter, food, clothing, light and heat. This leaves 20.4 per cent for savings, entertainments, development and sundry expenses. Good Hardware. Esthonian Cellulose Esthonia cellulose mills are developing so rapidly with increased consumption of wool that exportation of pulp wood may be restricted beginning next year. Going Too Far When the nutrition experts begin to prove something about the quality of plies by experiments with rats they are carrying their nutrition experiments just a little too far.—Public Ledger. Telephones in China If China had as many telephones per capita as the United States, the number would total 100,000,000. As it is she has but 75,000 against our 25,000,000. A Good Joke Father (to son returning to college)—Don't you want some money? Son—No; thanks just the same, Dad. I have some left from last term.—Life.

Costumes of Old Davs During the Eighteenth century the old-fashioned doublet had developed inte a coat and close-fitting breeches tied below the knee, worn with light silk stockings and buckled shoes; hats were’ broad-brimmed, turned up on three sides and edged with feather: or ribbons. The coats were of velvet ‘silk or broadcloth and brightly colored according to individual taste. After 1790 a change began, and round hats. short coats, light waistcoats and pan taloons which reached the ankles and fastened with buttons superseded tht old finery. Shoe strings replaced but. tons and huir powder went out of fashion. Tobacco Pines The highest quality of tobacco pipes are made from French briar, ebony, and rosewood. Cheap pipes are made from the sapwood of sweet or cherry birch and red gum. The former 4s said to imitate calabash and the latter rosewood.

LOOKED - 4 “LIKE THE DEVIL" No Wonder Oddly Clothed _ Man Caused Alarm. ‘The story of the “great beast” Is not yet forgotten by many people in South Harris. The man who told the story to the present writer was the innocent cause of the alarm, writes T. Wilson Dougal, in the Edinburgh Scotsman. A dealer in anything which would turn an honest penny, and with an eye to the main chance he was passing Borve. He saw two men killing a cow of the usual long-horned and shaggy-coated Highland type. He made a deal for the hide, and set out to procure salt to preserve the skin. He hoped to obtain salt in Obe, but none was procurable, and he proceeded three miles farther to Rodil, with the hide flung over his shoulder, to a fish- curer there. This party had salt, but would not part with any, so the dealer had to place the hide in a crofter’s house for the ulght. Starting next morning for Findsbay, atill on the hunt for salt, he proceeded along the track at the base of Roineval moun- tain, The weather becoming wet and misty, the dealer thought {t would be an excellent plan to put the -hide over himself as a cloak, placing the face part over his head and hanging in front of him. The huge horng stuck out on either side, with the tall behind. This was an easier way to carry the hide and keep himself dry. He was laboring along, and, un- known to him, two men and four wom- en had been on the peat grounds, who, having filled thelr creels, were return- ing home in single file. The first man, looking ahead, saw through the haze the awful monster appear. The poor fellow at once stopped and his knees began to shake. His neighbors asked him what was wrong. He directed thelr attention to the coming monster. “Good Lord! Don't-You see It? Don't you see it?” With shrieks and yells the whole crowd precipitated thelr creels of peat and fled to the village to tell the story in detail of the great monster they saw coming out of the fresh water loch and making Its way down to the sea. | ‘The monster was, meantime, mak- Ang’ its way slowly under the welght and heat of the hide. At last, destr- ous of a rest and taking {ts bearings, the beast sat on a boulder. Finding by @ compass the true direction, the beast took a smoke before setting off again. He Inserted the pipe at one eyehole of the hide and blew the smoke out by the:other eyehole, > As the rain was still falling, the beast noticed that its tall was lying in an increasing dub of water, so It flicked It to one side, At this moment a shepherd and his dog were approach- Ing~behind the beast. The dog, being in front of Its master, observed the unearthly monster first, and, making one high leap Into the alr, it fell back Into @ near bog, yelping In terror. The shepherd hurried forward and when he emerged from the mist to help his dog, also viewed the monster and fell into the same soft bog. He began roaring in Gaelle—"“Stand back, stand back, don’t come near me”—and prayed In most piteous tones to be forgiven his sina. The -monster, see ing the man up to his waist in the bog, at once understood the cause of fright to the dog and man. Throwing off the hide, he helped them both out, to the Infinite relief of the poor shepherd, who was ill in bed for a fortnight af. terward, suffering trom shock. Finds Another “Venus” In the “Mammoth” caverns at Pol lau, near Nikolsburg, in Moravia, now in Czechoslovakia, but only a fev miles from Vienna, has been found 1 wonderful’ “Venus,” six Inches high estimated to be 50,000 years old. It Is of fine-grained sandstone, anc dates from the Old Stone age, Pol lau's hilis are 1,800 feet above th sea, and there the prehistoric mer dwelt toward the end of the Ice age They knew nothing of the Venus myth of course, About a dozen skeletons of mam moths have been found near Pollan, a: well as those of reindeer, foxes wolves and many kinds of fish. The Pollau “Venus” Is remarkabl for the delicacy and Gnish of Its work manship. It represents the ideal wom an of 50,000 years argo. Somé¢how Manage té Live We all know many people who have aothing apparently and never get any- thing ahead, Arthur Aull observes, You are’sure they are at the edge of want, can’t manage to get along much fur. ther, Yet year after year passes, they neither starve nor freeze. What's more, they seem just us happy as those who Hive well and have some- thing on which to go. How they do it you can’t tell. Neither can anybody else. You just have to admit that everybody lias a way of getting along. It may be a poor one, but he man. ages; he’s not greatly dissatisfied with it. If he was, he'd probably stir around and find a better way.—Cap per’s Weekly. .

SAY! WHY--- É. A. NUGENT DREXEL 4023 Shawls are to be fashionable. In England this fall because Queen Mary has made up her mind to do the women of the North Scotland islands a favor. The queen follows with great interest the fortunes of the island folk and has become much perturbed that poverty among the women there has resulted from the decreased demand for Shetland shawls. In society circles the word has gone around that the queen intends to bring about the shawl, revival as soon as possible. To do this all that is necessary is for the queen, Princess Mary and the duchess of York to wear shawls on a few occasions. Then the shawl will come again into its own, helping to make the Shetland weavers happy once more. Jefferson's Old "Desk" Prize For Collectors Thomas Jefferson had a far-sighted appreciation of the historical value of articles which were commonplace enough but which, because they were associated with the genesis of the United States were certain to create in future generations a reverential attitude of mind. For instance, he wrote to his granddaughter, Ellen W. Coolidge, from Monticello, November 14, 1825, that he still had the "writing box" on which the "great Charter of our Independence" was written, says the Antiquarian. "It was made," he told her, "from a drawing of my own by Ben Randall, a cabinet-maker of Philadelphia, in whose house I took my first lodgings on my arrival in Philadelphia in May, 1777; and I have used it ever since. It claims no merit of particular beauty. It is plain, neat, convenient and taking no more room on the writing table, than a moderate 4to volume. Its imaginary value will increase with the years." Record of Ste. Lucy Old in Church Annals Ste. Lucy was a native of Syracuse and sought in marriage by a young nobleman of that city. She, however, had decided to devote her life to God and refused him. Enraged, he accused her to the governor of professing Christian doctrines, and she was persecuted. A curious legend regarding Ste. Lucy is that her lover complaining that her eyes haunted him day and night, she cut them out of her head and sent them to him, begging him to leave her to her devotions. It is added that heaven, to reward her, gave her new eyes more beautiful than ever. She is generally represented bearing a platter on which are two eyes, and her Intercession is frequently sought by those suffering with eye troubles.—Chicago Journal.
