--- Vol. XII PASSING OF MISS EVA M. GRANT Miss Eva M. Grant, 408 Greeley Ave., Kansas City, Kansas, one of the most prominent young women of both Kansas Cities, in church, school and social circles passed away November 4th at St. Margaret's Hospital, after an illness of seven weeks. Miss Grant was a teacher in the kindergarten of Wendell Phillips school, Kansas City, Mo., a member of the Twelve Charity Girls club, Kansas City, Mo., a member of First Baptist Church, Kansas City, Kans., and an active participant in all activities for racial uplift. She was born in St. Louis, Mo., February 1899 and moved to Kansas City, Kansas, with her parents at the age of three months. She finished the course of study prescribed for Kansas City Kansas ward schools and entered Sumner High School. She was a brilliant pupil and indeared herself to all her teachers and schoolmates. After graduating with honors from Sumner high school, she entered the State Normal School at Emporia, Kansas, where she finished the teachers' training course. She applied for a position in Mexico, Mo., teaching in the schools of that city for two years. After that she was appointed to the Dunbar school, Kansas City, Kans., remaining there for one year. She was then transferred to the Wendell Phillips school, Kansas City, Mo., where she was teaching at the time illness overtook her. She had been at this school for five years and made an enviable record there by her super excellent work in the kindergarten department. Her sweet lovable disposition, that won her many friends in other circles in which she moved, endeared her to her tiny pupils to such an extent that it will be hard to fill her place in their small hearts. She was equally loved and respected by her patrons and all those with whom she came in contact at the school, and by her fellow teachers. Socially, she was one of the particular bright stars of her set. No occasion was complete without her bright smile, winsome way and gay, good fellowship. In church circles, she was equally beloved, having become a member of First Baptist church at an extremely early age, and was a teacher in the Sunday school. Miss Grant's death was the third to occur in the family in less than a year and she left a mother, whose breaking heart had already suffered the loss of both mother and husband a few months previous. She is also survived by a brother, Mr. U. S. Grant of Chicago. It is sad that the career of such a worth while young woman, who holds such a capacity for doing good, should be brought to such an untimely close. Funeral services were held from First Baptist church Monday, Nov. 9, with the pastor, Rev. W. A. Bowen officiating. A large number of beautiful floral offerings gave mute testimony to the esteem in which Miss Grant was held, and a packed auditorium spoke eloquently for those who came to pay their last respects. Often as we watched her there, From our lips there fell this prayer, "God, give us pain to bear, Let us suffer in her place, Take the anguish from her face, Soothe her with Thy Holy Grace." Then the Angels came, and they Took her lovely soul away From the torture house of clay, As we prayed they brought release, Smoothed her brow with gentle peace But our pain shall never cease. Was our promise all in vain? Would we call her back again? Just to spare ourselves the pain? We are hurt, oh, that is true! Desolate, and lonely too, Suffering as we pledged to do. Now the pain is ours to know, But we prayed to bear this blow That she need not suffer so. Mrs. Josie Walker, 334 Walker avenue, entertained with a fine luncheon, to a number of her lady friends Tuesday. The funeral of T. A. Ross, formerly a member of the First A. M. E. church was held from Ebenezer church in Kansas City, Mo., Tuesday afternoon. It was largely attended. THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER TELLING TRUTHS Be serious.—Grotius. Seek an appetite by hard toll. Hope not for impossibilities.—Fuller. Experience frequently has some slow pupils. If we are wrong an ally is always welcome. Greatness appeals to the future.—Emerson. They also serve who only stand and wait.—Milton. We do but sow; we're steered by fate.—Butler. Common sense always has to fight the sob squads. Love is the flavoring extract in the ice cream of life. The penalty of bigamy is an excess of mother-in-laws. Men who court trouble soon find themselves wedded to it. More we think that nothing matters much, the less we argue. Mind is a kingdom to the man who gathers his pleasure from ideas. Vegetarianism, begun moderately, grows on one. You have to watch it. Proverbs embody the current and practical philosophy of an age or nation. A man can know nothing of mankind without knowing something of himself. He that raises false hopes to serve a purpose only makes a way for disappointment and discontent. To obtain what is unjust from the just is wrong, but to seek what is just from the unjust is folly. Bull No Match for Truck Frantic with fear and rage, an Aberdeen-Angus bull which escaped the other day on the farm of Charles McDougall, Guelph township, Ontario, while being led to water ran anuck in the west end of the city, forcing all pedestrians in the vicinity to take cover and endangering lives of children, says the Toronto Globe. The huge beast rushed about, defying half a dozen drovers who attempted its capture. It welged 2,000 pounds, and was not subdued until it was knocked down by a five-ton truck requisitioned by the authorities for that purpose. Then it was quickly roped and brought into safety. And the Clerk Said—? The county clerk at Topeka, Kan., received a telephone call asking if he would keep his office open a little after five that afternoon. The caller said that he had some important business to transact. The clerk was accommodating. A little after five o'clock a small boy stepped in, deposited a pair of jackrabbit ears and asked for the bounty of 5 cents allowed by the county. World Without Marriage Glen B. Winship, the writer, has advanced the modern and curious theory of a marriageless world by the inauguration of a system of taxes to be levied for the support of women and children, the men paying the taxes, and women and men made to publicly proclaim parentage. Inexplicable Neglect With an army pension of $5 a week lying accumulating for five months in the post office because he did not take time to get it, Jeremiah Kenny of Munster, Ireland, was arrested for neglecting his five children, after one had died from starvation. Dancing and Auto Driving It is claimed that good dancers make good automobile drivers, their instinct for time, rhythm and ability to avoid collisions with other dancers standing them in good stead when operating motor vehicles in traffic or in emergencies. Beavers From Ontario Ontario is the banner beaver producing community of North America. Last year the pelts of 54,346 Ontario beaver reached the American fur markets.

Kelly, urg- Ang upon them’ the duty of trying to \Put more beauty Into thelr surround- “Ings. At the close of the talk, a lead- fog citizen came up to have a few Words with the lecturer, “I enjoyed your talk,” he sald, “though I didn’t agree with you. The fact is that we have no time here for beauty. The prosperity of this town Is ‘due to hard-headed, practical men. We are doing things and can’t hother to ‘think about being beautiful.” “Yet,” retorted the lecturer, smil- ing, “you yourself ure seeking beauty. according to your lights. You may not have found It, but I know you are ‘aiming at what you think makes for xreater attractiveness.” " “No, you're wrong,” insisted the Wiard-headed, practical man, “I'm not Interested In beauty.” “Then,” sald the lecturer, “If you don't mind my being so personal, will you please tell me why you have dyed your whiskers?" Famed War Spy Went to Her Death Alone During the Civil war there ‘were many sples on both sides, some of them women. From Memphis, Tenn. there came to serve the Confederate cause, Virginia B. Moon, a girl su full of pep that everyhody called her “Miss Ginger.” It Is sald she had no fear of deuth. She carried morphine and dispatches through the Unlon lines, Twice she won release from her captors by exercising her wiles on them. She was first arrested In Cincinnati by an officer who was once chlef of General Grant's staff. She was commended by Jefferson Davis for her work. As a heart-breaker this girl was no slouch; she boasted of 14 bona fide propésals she had spurned when a southern belle. In her later life Miss Moon did some acting for the movies; then she settled down in New York—alone. She died recently at the age of elghty-one,— Pathfinder Magazine. The Cause The entire Brown family was at tacked by ptomaine polsoning. The family doctor wus called, and as soor as emergency treatment had been ad ministered he tried to find the source of the trouble. “Did you all eat something that hat been left standing In tin?" he asked, Mr. Brown thought hard for a mo: ment. “By gosh, doc,” he cried, “that’s just what we did. We had a picnic yesterday and we left the lunch In the car all morning !"—Judge. -° Motor Tour of.

DORSEY GREEN, Atty: for Plaintiff. (First Publication Nov. 6, 1925.) --- "Tve played golf only two years," said a member of the Meadowbrook Country club, "and I never troubled myself to read up on the obscure rules of the game until recently. When I did I discovered that a ball lying in 'casual' water—an accumulation of water, either than a recognized water: hazard of the course—may be moved, into such a position that the water will not interfere with the next stroke, without penalty. I decided to remember this rule and take advantage of it. My opportunity came. I drove into some 'casual' water that had accumulated after a recent hard rain. Almost triumphantly I advanced to take advantage of my close study of the obscure rules. But it so happened that the 'casual' water resulted from a real rain. In the hollow where my ball reposed it was fully three feet deep. I put another ball in play and took the penalty. And I resolved then and there never to learn any more trick rules. It is very bad for the disposition—Detroit News. Typed Signatures One Result of World War One of the few good aftermaths of the war is the clarity of signatures to letters some classes of service men have brought back with them to civilian life. All army orders, communications and other official business bear the typed name of the officer who signs. He writes his name over the typed signature. Handwriting in the last twenty-five years has fallen from its former high plane until most men's signatures are unintelligible and little more than scrawls. The exactness of army business demands clarity and the typewritten signatures were adopted. Company clerks, top sergeants and others who prepared the forms for officers to sign have kept up the practice, and now even their personal letters, transcribed on a typewriter, also bear the typed signature of the writer.—Chicago Journal. Many Uses for Salt Salt and vinegar will clean brass. Salt, added to water when washing clothes will prevent colors from running. Salt should be added to water before spaghetti, potatoes or vegetables are boiled in it. Salt—a speck—added to cream aids in whipping. Salt, in warm water is an excellent throat gargle. Salt added to rinsing water will keep clothes from freezing on the line. Salt should be eaten with' nuts to ald digestion. Salt will remove egg stains from silver. Salt sprinkled on carpet before cleaning will make it brighter. Salt and lemon rubbed on rust stains will remove stain if dried in sun.—Chicago American. Deserved His Drink During the luncheon interval at a county golf match, the refreshment stand was besieged by a hungry and thirsty crowd. The girls behind the stand were doing their best to cope with the situation, but one man, waxing impatient at the delay in being served, attracted the attention of one of the girls by shouting to her, "Heard the story of the mines?" "No, I haven't," retorted the girl. "and I don't want to just now." "Well, you've been listening to it for some time," replied the man; "mine's a chocolate soda." "Chuggins doesn't seem to be as sickly as he was." "No, he has quit complaining. His new motor car has done wonders for him." "Fresh air, and that sort of thing?" "No, his mind is so taken up with his engine and his tires that he hasn't time to think of his anatomical equipment." The Real Question "Just this way, sir," said the courteous clerk in the railway ticket office. "Let me show you some summer guilder entitled, 'Where to Go' and 'When to Go.'" The man with the modest income shook his head. "They don't interest me." he sighed. "What I want to know is 'How to Go.'" Big Job Little Ella Latham was trying to read and at the same time take care of the twins while her mother was downtown shopping. Finally she had to give up her reading, and looking at her two noisy charges exclaimed in disgust: . "Twins is just naturally too much!" Wonderful Creature A strange and beautiful creature with a body somewhat like a zebra and a horned head resembling that of a giraffe, has been obtained at Irump, in the Belgian Kongo, with the aid of pygmies. Well? "The women say they are going to sweep the country." "All very well. But are we men classified as trash?" Exposed "Why not publish a new magazine?"—Life. Juzso!
