SOME FACTS ABOUT THE MEXICAN SITUATION. Will History Repeat itself?—Patriotism of the Afro-American of Richest Quality. (By Chas. A. Starks.) Alas, Mexico has embroiled herself with the United States the self-appointed policeman of the great Western world, who proceeds police-like to apply, not the usual regulation club, on the offending one, but sends several men of war in Mexican waters to awe the "culprits" along with a vast army of infantry and cavalry to do the first real slaughtering. The honor of the country must be upheld. What just provocation our esteemed Uncle Sam has for instituting corporal punishment on the Mexicans is not at all clear. This much is certain: "Some one has blundered." A slight thing which has caused all of the wars which human history can boast of. In this particular case, it is not easy to determine whether Mexico, already war-ridden, has deliberately added another devil to its usually large stock of such by insulting this country, or that Uncle Sam has simply pounced upon a slight opportunity to try out his men in a much needed rifle practice even though human beings must stop the bullets. If we must have war, let us have it now. Now is the psychological time. Baseball has not even begun to reach its zenith; the execution of the "gunmen" is a matter of history; the Crisis of the "Shidler Case" is past; recent municipal elections over the country have been forgotten; all is well in congress. The hour is propitious. We must have "news." What better thing than war? We have already made some progress in this direction. Just a few days ago we sent our men against Vera Cruz capturing the town with only the loss of a quartette of soldiers while incidentally over two hundred Mexican casualties were discovered after the smoke had cleared away. We are told that excitement ran high, and that the Mexican soldiers "also ran," they evidently not liking the Yankee aspect. The sparsely armed citizenry resented the presence of the Americans and it was these people who furnished the two hundred victims that were sacrificed, upon the implacable altar of war. Question: How long will it take Mexico to whip the United" States at the rate of injuries sustained in the first battle? Any way this country is in no immediate danger of annihilation by our close neighbors. Mexico is not united. She never has been. She is nearest this when she travailed under the Steele-gripped hand of Diaz. If Mexico was united, she could prolong the crime of war, devasting herself and at least disturb the tranquility of our citizens as she has done in the past. But so far the "war" lacks interest. The Hague-Tribunal or a peace conference is much more liveliest, we do get some "fine speeches" on disarmament" and the suppositionality of mankind in solving human problems without the shedding of blood. Give us the "resolves." Even when they do not materialize if they are good, then they are better than "wrong action." Some are taking it seriously. A noted educator (white), has addressed a letter to President Wilson suggesting the organization of over one hundred Negro regiments to fight the Mexicans. Great! The writer deemed it unnecessary to offer any argument in favor of such a policy, hence leaving people to misconstrue his meaning which many will do. However, the thought persuades the Negro to take some kind of a stand in the present affair. Many of our white brethren are curious to know how the black man likes the situation. To answer this we are quoting a little history. "He fought to free his master" is an immortal truth that titles the pages of a book by Frederick Douglass. The Negro at that time was considered little more than a beast. But brave Crispus Attucks, a black slave, christened the white man's struggle for human rights with his noble blood. And five thousand Negroes gave their lives and service that the white man might enjoy the Diyine rights of all men—life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In this the white man showed his appreciation by ingratitude and perfilty. Douglass said to Lincoln: "Arm the Negro." Lincoln said: "I fear the arms would soon be in the hands of the rebels." Frederick Douglass' greater logic prevailed, hence the Negro's activities in the Civil War earned his own freedom and his strong arm played a major part in saving the Union—envy and jealousy were his reward. Unhappy Spain offended this country out of which came the c hance for the --- The Kansas City Sun FINEST NEGRO PICTURE HOUSE IN THE WORLD 2-3-4 REEL FEATURES EVERY NIGHT NEW THEATRE 4 REELS Every Night PIPE ORGAN AND PIANO 2411 VINE ST. 2 Picture Machines No Delay SAMSON 2000 PEOPLE - SIX REELS - 600 SCENES With J.

Caney and San Juan Hill, gaining the day and saving Col. Roosevelt and his litted Rough Riders from positive extermination. America received this news with chargin because black men were the heroes. Can you doubt the patriotism of the Negro? The Negro has been with the United States whether right or wrong and though this country in some cases has ill-treated him, he knows nothing but loyalty to the flag. And to if the Negro is called upon in this Mexican affair, he will respond in generous numbers, making history repeat itself and demonstrating that his patriotism is of the richest quality. The constant nagging and attempt to bellittle the work of Colored truant Officers Lee and Holbert through the "Public Mind" column of the Star deserves the contempt of every decent citizen of this city who knows the character and high standing of these two splendid officers. In Thursday's paper an alleged "minister" who more likely is a bum or loafer, attempts to slur these men, who are Christian gentlemen, active workers in church, lodge and Y. M. C. A., and stand head and shoulders above the scamps who criticize but are too cowardly to sign their name. To use a vulgar expression, it looks like "A Nigger in the wood pile" somewhere.

Allen Chapel's vast congregation was both saddened and sorely disappointed last Sunday when it was announced that their brilliant and versatile Pastor, Rev. Wm. H. Thomas, D.D., was confined to his bed by illness and would be unable to attend the services throughout the day. Dr. Thomas has been suffering from a severe attack of the LaGrille which has kept him confined throughout the week, being unable to 'attend any of the sessions of the Mock Conference Rally being held by his church. But thanks to God and the prayers of his faithful parishoners, he reports to the Sun that he will be in his pulpit all day REV. W. H. THOMAS, D. D., The Distinguished Pastor of Historic Allen Chapel. Sunday, assisted, by Dr. H. T. Kealing president of Western University and will make special effort to deliver the funeral oration of Brother Charles H. Lewis, which will be held under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity Sunday at 1:30 p. m. Not only all of Allen but all of Kansas City who have heard, and having heard, have learned to love and admire this distinguished scholar and Christian gentleman will be delighted to know that he will be able to occupy his pulp again next Sunday and doubtless such a crowd as faced him on Go-to-Church-Sunday will be present to give silent appreciation of their regard for this distinguished scholar and gospel preacher. FIRST TROLLEY PARTY. The first trolley party of the season for your pleasure and enjoyment will be run by Kansas City Consistory No. 7, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite Masons and Allah Temple No. 6, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine Thursday evening, May 14th. This will be their greatest annual outing and you are invited to go along. Hon. Nick Chiles of the Plaindealer was in the city on business last week. MR. W. C. MOON The popular Caterer who is promoting a splendid Truck Garden Farm, which he owns in Oklahoma. Mr. W. C. Moon, the well known and successful caterer at 1223 Baltimore avenue has returned from a six weeks' visit from his farm near Claremore, Okla., and is looking exceedingly well after his well earned vacation. Mr. Moon is planning to convert a portion of his farm into a truck garden where on account of its rich soil and tremendous yield he hopes to be able to supply all the delicacies of the season direct from the farm to the consumer without the profits of the produce dealer or mid die man beind added to the price of the consumer. While in the South Mr. Moon took a course of baths at Claremore and Hot Springs and jokingly said to his friends on his return that he felt like a "two year old". And he said he would not hesitate to tackle Jack Johnson if there was enough money in it. Mr. Moon is the owner of much valuable property in the south, all purchased by earnest and assiduous application to his business and has a reputation of being one of the finest caterers the west has produced. His elegant establishment at 1223 Balti more avenue which is oftimes crowded to the doors is a testimonial of the excellent cuisine and splendid service for which his place is noted. The Sun congratulates Mr. Moon upon his exceptional success in business and his devotion to all those principles that are for racial upbuild. YOUNG LADIES WANTED.

A successful business man is no less successful in providing pleasure for his friends. The overshadowing event of the after Easter social season doubtless was Dr. Smith's party in honor of Miss Clara Howard of St. Paul, Minn., at Lyric hall on Tuesday evening. About two hundred of Dr. Smith's friends immensely enjoyed the affair. The hall was attractively decorated, and with a soft, pink light reflecting against a well conceived and artfully executed color scheme of blue and white, made a sort of drapery. This was extended across one end of the hall behind which card tables were arranged for the accommodations of those who did not care to dance. The decorations and light scheme lent a very pleasing aspect to the affair. The orchestra caught the spirit of the orchestra and played with much feeling in their music. Notwithstanding it was an informal affair, the guests, mindful of several other occasions on which Dr. Smith's taste, energy and checkbook had provided a couple of hundred people, therefore came in raiment fit to meet a present. A glance into the faces of those present was sufficient to convince anyone that the most cultured and refined homes with their polished occupants were represented. Often we meet bachelors who evince a feeling of handicap for lack of one of the fair sex to an厚韧ly preside over and grace functions on occasions when friends are invited to partake of their good cheer and hospitality. Their inconvenience in this respect offers to their married friends an attractive source or amusement. It has become a common occurrence with Dr. Smith to put his merry-making married friends to flight. Instead of ridicule or sympathy for his selfish or unfortunate lot his success provokes a deep feeling of admiration, tinged with a touch of envy felt by many of his married friends as well as by his brother bachelors. So it is the same old story over "anything that Smith touches is bound to succeed." Thus Dr. Smith is a pace setter in the social life as well as in the commercial life of his people. Centenniel M. E. Church desires to express its thanks to the many friends and well wishers who so liberally patronized its entertainments last week and who spoke words of encouragement during its anniversary celebration among whom were Revs G. A. Abbott, J. Will Jackson, D. D. Jas. M. Harris, W. C. Ellis, former pastors, Rev. W. C. Williams of Ebenzer Chapel, F. D. Wells, Bethe Chapter of Sister M. E. Church's Rev. McMurray of St. James, M. E. Church, Kansas City, Kan., and Hon Nelson C. Crews of the Kansas City Sun. For a three weeks' rally centennial is more than gratified at this effort which netted $460. Chas. H. Lewis Dead The Colored population of Kansas City has not been shocked in years as it was on last Sunday afternoon when the word as though on the wings of Lightning flashed all over the city that Charles H. Lewis one of the most popular young men and best known Masons of this city had suddenly passed away without a moment's warning in the main hall of the Masonic Temple at 4:20 p. m. At the time of his death Brother Lewis was presiding over a joint committee meeting of Allah Temple No. 6 and Consistory No. 7 where they were completing arrangements for the trolley party to be given to Leavenworth May 14th. No indication was given of the fatal stroke that was poised over the head of our lamented brother when the committee was called together and he was in a happy mood throughout the afternoon. He had just said previous to the calling to order of the joint committee to Brother P. C. Kincald the custodian of the temple. "This is the last Sunday meeting we shall have in this hall as I shall insist that Sunday meetings be cut out that you may CHAS. H. LEWIS, One of the most prominent and useful Masons in the jurisdiction, who died Sunday, April 26th. have an opportunity old boy to attend the morning service," then called the house to order and proceeded rapidly to the transaction of the business that had brought them together. He turned to Kincald and said, "Go in the office and get me your fountain pen so that I may sign these tickets more rapidly," and then said to Brother W. C. Mallory, "What is the date for this party?" and just then the invisible sword fell and severed his heart's strings and without a word, without a groan, or without a sigh, his soul passed out of this tenement of clay into the presence of that God whose blood but a few days ago had washed him whiter than snow and made him fit for "that temple not built with hands but eternal in the Heavens." Sirs Crosswaite, Mallory, Kincaid, Johnson, Bruce, and others present noticed in a second that he had fallen across his desk and supposing he had fainted, rushed to him, lifted him out of his chair and laid him upon the master's dias under the Symbolic letter G, and began to bathe his face as they loosened his clothing, but Professor Crostwaite seizing his pulse and looking into his eyes for a second said, "Men, Lewis is dying," and alas, it was true. Nothing could stay the sword of the grim monster, Death. Physicians were immediately summoned, but they could do nothing. A strange coincidence was that his wife whom he had requested to call him when she had completed a visit she was making to Dr. Brookins New Office Dr. M. G. Brookins the well known physician and surgeon now occupies his new offices recently constructed at his residence, 1816 Woodland Avenue. A reporter for the Sun visited his office this week and found them the most beautiful and suitably arranged of any offices in the city. Broad stone steps lead to the office which are light and airy and admirably adapted for the purposes for which they were constructed. The operating and consultation rooms are spotlessly white with stone floor, excellent medical library and the most moderate up-to-date appliances. The offices are happily located in the midst of a prosperous and home-owning element of our people and within three blocks in either direction is a population of more than fifteen hundred colored people. Dr. Brookins telephone is Bell East $38 and his ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME PRICE, 5c. theatre ie La Belle, ima Donna d Show ewis Dead some friends called just as he fell across his desk and when Brother Kincaid went to the phone to answer and found it was she he told her to come hurriedly that her husband had fainted and they believed he was seriously ill, but before she could reach the hall his spirit had flown. She was intercepted by Mrs. Crostwalte Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Swan. The news was gently broken to her and accompanied by these dear sisters she was taken to her home. Charles Henry Lewis was born in South Bend, Ind., January 1876, was thirty-eight years of age and was married to Eloise Covington Walker, December 4th, 1912. He leaves a wife, a grandmother and a cousin to mourn his loss as well as a multitude of friends and a host of loyal Masons who will ever cherish his memory and keep it green. He was an active worker in Allen Chapel with which he became connected Sunday, January 18 of this year and on that same morning fourteen men and two ladies joined the church. He was appointed in a few days after his becoming a member one of the ushers for which he was admirably adapted by virtue of his long experience as a hotel man and his ability to handle quickly and quietly large crowds and on last Sunday morning he rendered splendid service both in seating the vast audience present at Allen and in collecting the offertory. No man was more prominent in the Masonic Fraternity than he and he literally died in behalf of the interests of his trethren in the Temple that he loved better than anything else in the world save his wife and his church. He was past master of Green Pasture Lodge No. 128; past high priest of Keystone Chapter No. 24; past eminent commander of Far West Commandery No. 3; past commander in chief of Kansas City Consistory No. 7; past illustrious potentate of Allah Temple No. 6; grand recorder of the Grand Commandery of Missouri; secretary of the Council of Deliberation of Missouri composed of 33rd Degree Masons and a member of the Masonic Temple Building Association. His activities were not confined alone to his own lodge, Chapter or Commandery but in the other bodies his counsel was sought his advice was accepted and his aid was freely given. "The likes of him we shall not soon see again." The impressive midnight services of the Consistory of Scottish Rite Masons will be held at Allen Chapel Saturday night at 11 o'clock and the funeral will be held under the auspices of the joint Masonic bodies from the third to the 33rd degree at the same place Sunday, May 3rd at 1:30 and the pastor, Rev. W. H. Thomas, D. D., rises from a sick bed to deliver the funeral oration over one whom in his own words "he has learned to love and admire." The full surplaced choir of Allen Chapel under Prof. R. G. Jackson will render the music for both services and at the conclusion of the funeral ceremony the body will be escorted to the Union Station where it will be carried to Louisiana, Mo., for interment. The Sun extends its sympathy to the bereaved family and the Masonic fraternity in this irreparable loss and in conclusion mindful of the fact that God knows what is best quotes these lines: "And if through patient toll we reach the land, Where tired feet with sandals loose may rest, When we shall clearly know and understand, I think that we will say, "God knew the best." —NELSON C. CREWS. Home phone number will be given as soon as installed. The Sun congratulates Dr. Brookins both upon his wisdom and foresight in building such beautiful offices upon his own premises and locating them in such a happy and densely populated section of our city.

OLDEST OF EARTH'S CITIES Damascus as Full of Life Today as She Was in the Dawning of the World's History. At last we are set down in the midst of Damascus, a city that can claim life without a break from its founding back in the dim dawn of the world's history. When Abram crossed the desert from Haran 4,000 years ago this city was standing. (Seo Gen, 14:15 and 15:2.) She dates back to the time of the Pharaohs in Egypt; in fact, she was old when Greece and Rome were striplings in years. Rome may be termed the “Eternal City,” but Damascus is twice as old, and though her streets have run red with blood of battle and rapine many times, she has not been overthrown. “Babylon is an heap in the desert and Tyre a ruin on the shore,” but Damascus remains. Was there ever such a place to see the nations of the earth parading to- gether? Here in the market place aro motley crowds of Persians, Moors, Afghans, Indians, Beyptians, Sudan- ese, Jews, Bedouins, Druses, Turks, Europeans. The streets—so crooked, 80 narrow, so dirty, so full of life, with that strange spell of the desert upon them! ‘The residences as seen from the street are ugly and disap- pointing enough, yet, like old barns ‘and tumble-down mills at home, are fascinating and picturesque—Chris- tian Herald. a ee | eae en eal Writeatonceto A.R.STEWART, Tuskegee Institute, Ala. ‘Tear Off Here and Mail.

FIGHTING FOR LIFE. Father and Son, Because the Latter ‘Tried to Protect His Aged Parents —Let Us All Help Financially. Colorado State Penitentiary. Hon. N. C. Crews, Dear Sir: [am enclosing herewith a copy of a decis: fon handed down by the supreme court ot Colorado in regard to my case, which was hastily tried in district court of Otero county at La Junta, Colo., in July, 1911, where I was in- stantly convicted and sentenced to death and my aged father, a man of near 8% years, was also convicted as an accomplice and sentenced trom 30 to 50 years at hant labor in state pen- itentiary. I was sentenced to death for protecting my aged father and mother, in thelr.ova home, and my life at the cost of the lives of the two brutal, inhuman, prejudiced, Negro- hating, lawless policemen who were assaulting my mother and father, and seeking to murder me, But after being denied a new trial by tte judge trying my case, my at- torney, Ex-Judge Lyman I.

Now, dear sir, the fight has jus commenced as the prejudiced class it that community are determined tha the sentence imposed on my fathe and myself be carried out, and the: will use every means In their powe to gain thelr hellish ends, and t thwart all in thelr desire to see m got justice. I appeal to you for finan cial ald, if you can assist me in an: way through the columns of your pa per, or otherwise, to meet the finan cial demands involved, it will be great ly appreciated, My reason for sendini you @ copy of the supreme court’s d¢ ‘sion and comments, is for you to se clearly it was not an act trying or al tempting to defy the law in any way but one of protecting my parents an my life, 1 again beg to state that ‘am a worthy member of R.

This busi- ness man had been at the one stand for several years, but this friend did not know it. He was managing to make a living, but he had not gotten his friends’ trade because he had neglected to let his friends know that he was in business. How many friends were there just like the first? How many dol- lars had this colored man lost through neglect to notify the public which ineludes his friends. ‘The business man did not even resort to the somewhat out-of- date method of scattering circulars. He had never considered ‘ad- vortising. He, too, knew that white merchants who have built, their business from small beginning to large propositions had been large users of advertising space in the newspapers. He did not seem to care to know that the public largely patronized these merchants be- cause they let the community know what they had for sale. He was still in the beginning class, making but little more than a laborer ets. wer Mr. Colored Business Man, the opportunity is yours, like that of the white man who began small.

My already tired brain and sun strained eyes al- most refused the task that was set be: fore. But from somewhere and some- how I gained courage, and plunged in by atrting with the one on top—it was the Oklahoma—O, there I go, I didn’t mean to call any names, but the press work om that particular pour- nal was so poor that one could not even properly translate the answers to Booker Washington's article, ask- ing for better traveling accommoda- tions for’Negro passengers over cer- tain railroad lines; which was brave: ly undertaken, The Dallas Express came in for a similar criticism while the Boston Alliance and Conservative Counsellor. 16 void of that harmon fous toning with other parts of the papers on account of too much front Page advertisement, In others there were similar and even more grievous errors. ‘The colored papers that take first rank in typographical cleanliness and mechanical accuracy are the Amster: dam News, Richmond Planet, Kansas City Sun, and New York Age. It is with mo small degree of ap: preciation that I review the merits and demerits of these journals and Journalists, who are struggling as | am; for to publish a Negro journa at this period means sacrifice at every stopover. I see written in great red headlines at the head of the mean: est effort in the way of a Negro jour: nal these words, “Self Sacritice.” Our readers are more sensitive to literary abuse in a race paper than they are to the big dailies. I often have a man come into my office tc complain about a stick of matter up side down in the last issue of an arti clo that was backed up the wrong way. Now, if he, perhaps, knew that my day had been 36 hours instead ot elght in comparison with his, instead of criticising he would step in and offer to pay his subscription with the hope that his mite might help a Itt tle in relleving the situation. For whenever you see faults standing out conspicuously in Nezro papers theré fs but one conclusion to come to, anc that is that finance is oh, so short.

It might also be noted that some one fs always on hand to pick out t he Negro’s usefulness and availability when the country Is confronted with peril.

NEEDS COURAGE AND SPIRIT Passive Obedience Has Never Made for Man or Woman a Place In Pages of History. ‘We moderns are popularly supposed to have been the first to profess ad: miration for the strong-minded wom- an, whom we proudly or derisively call the “new” woman. Yet if we study history, and not merely hear say, we find that the heroines of the ‘world were by no means gentle, sub missive creatures. Electra, whom the ancients exalted far above her milder sister, Chryso- themis, would certainly have been a suffragette, had she lived in this cen: tury. Cleopatra, Hypatia, Joan of Are, however iiverse otherwise, were at least alike in rebelling against au. thority and following their own way.

For several years there has been f great need of a well organized hos pital in this city for Colored people. Dr. J. E. Perry, with his well epuipped sanitarium did much in the way of hospital work. A little more than one year ago, the Provident Hospital was organized, incorporated and assumed the control of “Perry Sanitarium.” During the same time the Phyllis Wheatley Hospital was organized, and each of these institutions proceeded to raise means for the purpose of es- tablishing and maintaining the two hospitals. It was soon discovered, however, that it was hardly probable ‘that two institutions of this kind ‘would be supported by the people of |Kansas City, Therefore, the manage- |ment of these institutions came to- gether and decided that it was for the best interest of the Colored citizens of the city that the two Institutions be merged into one body, which was accordingly done under the name of “Phe Wheatley-Provident Hospital.” |All parties heretofore connected with each of these institutions have pledged to use their best efforts in the raising of funds to purchase suf- ficlent ground, and erect thereon, a j hospital building in this city, as will meet the crying needs of our people. | The Wheatley-Provident Hospita) has assumed control, and Is now oper- ating the Hospital at 1214 Vine Street, Kansas City, Missouri, which building was formerly occupled by the Provident Hospital, There is in the treasury of said Wheatley-Provi- dent Hoscpital Association the sum of $1,700, which is to be used only for the purchase of a site on which a building is to be erected, REV, T.

Telephone, Bell 288% Bast, The Manicure Girl By George Randolph Chester (Copyright by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) "You don't have to ring 'em to tell all the counterfeits," observed the Hotel Belveigh manicure girl as she opened a bundle of emery paper. "Only last week I had one in here that was so rank an imitation you'd think he'd sit up nights to make fun of himself; anyway, you'd begin to understand how Cassie Chadwick took up collections. He was old enough to have fed Methuselah his fennel tea, but the help an old man can get from uginess, doctors and tailors that ought to have been taxidermists, makes anything they show at the Hippodrome look easy. The minute I caught sight of that saucy little freshman hat and the college-cut clothes, I knew the whole play before the curtain went up, and I wouldn't look in Billy's direction. He was already joshoring more than was good for him. You know Billy. He's the boss barber and wants to buy me a plain gold ring and a plano-player, but poor Billy isn't a man of his word. He promised he'd do anything in the world for me, and reneged on the only request I made. He wouldn't change his face. "Of course, the first thing Mr. Neverdle did when he kitted down into my chair was to squeeze my hand. That was a terrible shock to me. I guess, since it only happens from nine to twenty days a day, and I hardly knew what to do—only just how to stop it. I shifted his hands into and out of the ninety-eight-cent near-cut glass bowl so often he fell to it that the program had been changed without notice, and then he took the number. Billy snickered out loud, and I shot a glare at him that ought to have shrunk him to the size of a one-lunged peanut; but it didn't. He only swelled up and watched for more. He's a regular cut-up, Billy is, and of course he knew there was more coming. These past-due flirty boys get so cailous to turndowns that nothing short of a brick makes a dent in them, and "When Uncle Antique Saw Me in The spectabl M.F. HORNAMAILLE "When Uncle Antique Saw Me in This Uniform, I Felt Sorry for His Respectable Family. pretty soon I saw him watching my hair and my eyes, and I got ready. "Do you know, said he, 'you look exactly like Maxine Elliott?' "Of course I know it,' I handed him back. 'Maxine comes in here nearly every day and asks me to quit it, but I won't. "That made him pause for the crossing, anyhow, and I got three minutes farther on the way. "What a lonesome city this is!' he put in next, and I knew it was no use trying to save him a chill. He wouldn't be satisfied till he got froze stiff. "Why did you slip away from him then?' I asked. who should come prancing into the barber shop but my Mr. Sear-and-yell to have his face ironed, and with a nerve tall enough to make the Singler building look like a hitching post he lifted the roof of his toupee to me and smiled as pleasantly as a mummy that had died dippy. I escaped him when he went out, though, because he was busy with one of the worst kind—a merchant from Darkest Indiana who come to New York to buy last year's latest style, and who was ex plaining how much he missed his wife so I would go to the theater with him and let him tell me about her. "It helped some that afternoon to have a real one drop in. He was a "From— he began, and then he stopped. He wasn't so slow after all. He'd been going to ask 'from whom', but he had a flash of second sight and knew I'd hint that it was either his guardian or his keeper. "What a cross little dear you are!' he said, and patted my hand. "Just see what I have to put up with, though," I explained, and then I jabbed him one under the thumb nail that set him jumping all over. That jab was for the 'little dear.' "Wouldn't you think he'd guess his line had been disconnected after that?" A military band with a clergyman as conductor is a combination which probably is to be found only at illogan, Cornwall, England, where the rector, the Rev. Henry Oxland, has just completed his twenty-seventh year as conductor of the local military band. The rector and his thirty-two musi- clans, nearly all of whom are tin miners, are familiar figures throughout West Cornwall, the band being very popular at various public functions. The "season" has just begun, and He didn't. He was puncture proof, and when he got up to go he leaned over the table to me and said: "What do you think of a nice evening at the theater tonight, and maybe a bird and a bottle after? "Fine!' I chirruped. 'I like to read about it; but if you're hunting some poor but honest working girl of fatal beauty to share it you'd better hurry, for the hour is growing late. For me, not! I'm going to spend this evening with my own grandfather." "I hadn't supposed it could be done, but the red began to creep under his make-up, and then I felt a little bit sorry. It's wrong to hit a cripple, anyhow, and as he went out I shunished at him just so I wouldn't feel like so much of a grouch myself. I thought I could take a chance on that much without putting out the 'Welcome' mat, but say! when I die, put on my tombstone, will you. 'She was a good gy-url, but she couldn't learn.' "That very evening, as I passed out through the parliars, I saw my Methuselah's uncle, about five years younger in his silk tilt and open-faced vest, talking to a real foppy mother and daughter who were enough happy harness to stock a new Tiffany's. The younger one was such a picture that I swung up close to see if it was hand painted or only a chromo, but that's once I had to send a wireless apology, for her complexion was put on from the inside and would stand scrubbing. She looked perfectly happy except for one thing; all she wanted was something interesting to happen. She was real willing to go right away from there to find it, too, but the other two had their chins on pivots and smiled continuously without pain. 'Anyhow,' I thought, 'Father Time is now back in his own precinct and they'll take care of him if he gets to wandering in his mind.' "The next morning, bright and early, before I even had my wraps off. his Uniform, I Felt Sorry for His Re-ols Family. who should come prancing into the barber shop but my Mr. Sear-and-yellow to have his face ironed, and with a nerve tall enough to make the Singer building look like a hitching post he lifted the roof of his toupe to me and smiled as pleasantly as a mummy that had died dipy.

"It helped some that afternoon to have a real one drop in. He was a tall, living-picture built young man, and looked so solid he could have had his clothes pressed right on him without hurting. His hands were not a bit pretty; they were better than that; they were good to look at. They were a man's hands, big and strong and brown, but well shaped enough, too; the kind that can hold a high stepper down to an even trot through ten miles of fireworks. It was a nice, firm, warm hand, but it didn't know I held it, and that interested me right away. You know, I suppose I'm like other girls. It makes me mad if they do, and I'm disappointed if they don't. He henceforth the band will be in great request for fetes, horse shows, and sports meetings. During the last quarter of a century many of the old members have emigrated to America, and no fewer than fourteen bands have been started there by Cornishmen who formerly played in the Illogan band under the conductorship of the rector. Royal Pioneer. Brantome says Catherine de Medici was the first to ride on a side saddle. just sat as quiet as a half dozen raw and looked a hole in my pompadew till Billy hung up the receiver of the telephone and came over to me with: "Two-o-two wants you as soon as you can come." "I never in my life saw anybody light up the way that young fellow did. All at once he looked like Coney on opening night. "Two hundred and two!" he said. "Go right up to her. Don't mind me. I can wait." "I glanced up at him and he looked awfully good to your Aunt Bessie. His face had turned a little bit pink and his eyes had lost that far-away look in a hurry. "Her! Of course it was a Her in two-o-two! But from the way this young fellow acted I could tell that this was an extra special Her of the very best brand, the choice and pick of the whole Her flock so far as he was concerned. "It wouldn't take me but a little bit to get through with you," I said, keeping my smile for in the elevator. "No, I can wait," he insisted. "Td rather wait. To tell you the truth, I want to see you after you come back down," and he stammered and stuttered a young married man doing his wife's first shopping with girl clerks. Finally he blurted out: "Would you mind taking a little note up there for me?" "A note!" I said, putting on my toppiest air. "I don't think the house would permit it. You can call a bell boy from here, and he'll take it up." "He fidgeted again, and the more he fidgeted and the redder he got the more I liked him." "You see, it's this way," he explained. "There's two ladies up there, and I want the younger one to get the note without the older one seeing it." Then he got so red I began to feel real motherly toward him. He reached in his pocket and pulled out a roll of hills biceil enough to stuff a Teddy bear. "Smother that, young man," I said. "Once in a while I like to do a personal favor just to jolly myself along that me heart's in the right place. I tell you what you do. You scratch off your note and give it to me, and I'll think about what I ought to do on the way up. I'll be gone from three quarters of an hour to an hour. Will you be here? "Would he! If I felt as certain of going to heaven as I was that this young man would be right there when I got back, I'd never worry about my conduct as long as I live. "My! I do love to see a plot thicken, and when I got up to two-o-two you couldn't scratch this one with an installment solitaire; for there was the girl with the complexion that wouldn't come off, and she was prettier in a kimono than she had been in her grand opera stunners! Her mother was there, too, and when I came in they were in a gabfest up to their pompadours, and blowing and pawing for shore so hard they never noticed me but went right on. Anyhow, you're supposed to wear blinkers and ear cotton around a hotel, so I went dead and got busy. The girl stopped long enough to give me a real human smile as she gave me her nails to do, and then she said: "But, mother, just think! Mr. Passay is older than father would have been at this time!" "Mr. Passay is young in everything but years," her mother came back, in that dead level tone of voice the hard-hearted father uses in the Bowyer thrillers. 'He is reaping the reward, in his splendid preservation, of a clean, Christian life. He is a gentleman, he is wealthy, and can give you social position. Why, child, he is the leading member of the famous Passay family, first cousin to the Vandercashes, connected by marriage with the Whiteners. He's devoted to you, and all his daughters are grown up and out of the way.' "Yes, and they'd all take great pleasure in calling me mother!" objected the girl. "They wouldn't dare show their faces near yours when they said it, snapped her mother; 'besides you could stand for a few years.' "That's the trouble," said the girl. 'He'd never die. He's proved that already. I won't have him, mother, and that settles it!' "You're an ungrateful child, Grace!" wailed the mother. "You'd rather have that young adventurer that I forbade to bother us any more. You have no proper pride at all." "Adventurer!" said Grace, and I liked the way her eyes snapped. "Mr. Hardy has a fifty-thousand dollar ranch, and a nice little house in a nice little city near by, and money in the bank. And he made all his himself. His social position is good enough for me. It's better than father's was when you married." "Well, the old lady began to drip at the eyes right away. Her daughter was ungrateful—again. She had no proper pride—again. She was forgetting a solemn obligation. Her father on his very deathbed had told Grace to mind her mother, and what was she doing now? And the old lady retired to the bath room for first aid to the weepers, scared purple for fear her eyes would show red at lunch. "By that time your Aunt Bessie had her mind made up good and plenty what to do. "This Mr. Hardy,' I guessed, putting a dug of rouge on the prettiest little finger nail I ever saw. 'If he's a young man with two shoulders and several white teeth, I think he's down in the barber shop right this minute, spoiling his finger nails, waiting till I come back. See if his name's on this, and I slipped her the note. "Say, she lit up like a Belasco sunrise! "I didn't know he was here,' she said, but it wasn't to me she said it, All Modern Improvements. Sparker and Plug had just returned from a glorious spin in Sparker's brand-new automobile, and as they sat in Sparker's library they talked of many things despite the noise of Sparker's youngsters were making. "Tell you what, Sparker," said Plug, "you've a fine, healthy lot of children. By the way, how many have you?" "Seven," said Sparker, proudly. "You know, I've often wondered, went on Plug, 'whether you people and she just fairly ate that note without salt or nepper. "You may tell Mr. Hardy that I cannot write a note just now; she said, 'but to please send up his card to mother and me right after luncheon. I will see that he's received'. "You'll win, I told her. 'I've got a bet on you.' "When I told Hardy the stunt that was cut out for him he turned the color of his collar and got perfectly limp. "Cheer up, I said. 'The returns are not all in yet, and if there's any way your Aunt Bessie can help stuff the ballot boxes, all her other engagements are off.' "That night he was waiting to walk out to the car with me, and beaming like a custard pie. He simply had to recite it all to somebody, and I was the only audience he could nail. "I saw her, he said, 'and I'm to see her once more, though I guess see not once more, though I give THE CAFE "I Was Perfectly Wicked and Proud of it." that will be about all; at least that's what I was given to understand, and rather plainly. There's no chance for me. "Don't tear up your ticket before the bell rings," I told him. "Everything comes out in the wash, for while there's life there's soap. When does this dying interview come off?" "Tomorrow night," he said. 'I'm to take them to the theater.' "That's when I decided to wedge in. I can't keep out of it. It all comes from my East side bringing up, where, whenever there was a midnight fight, every man in the block yelled out of the window for them to wait till he got his shoes on. If there was anything doing we all wanted to be in it, and I suppose I be tickled to death with my own funeral, just because I'll be there and have the best part in the cast.

Mosey out of the theater slow, and be sure you're the last ones out. Go back to your seat for something to kill more time. When you get into Churley's I'll have a table saved for you. That's all you have to do except sit with your back to me." "Of course he was crazy to know what was coming off, but I wouldn't tell him. I wasn't quite sure myself, yet, but the next morning I was, for my passe Mr. Passay waltzes in as usual to have his wrinkles pressed out, and the smile I gave him would have melted this whetstone brick ice cream that they put up for picnics. He was so tickled I thought he'd do a with so many children save any particular favorites."

After he had his morning face put on of course he came toddling right over to me, and my, but I was the giddy young thing! It only cost me two glances and another smile to have a theater invitation for that night, and at 5 o'clock I hiked home and put on all my kill-m-deads from the the plumes down. "When Uncle Antique saw me in the uniform I felt sorry for his respectable family, but I will say he knew how to do the honors, and the way he tucked me into my seat you'd have thought I was the queen of Sheba.

Of course, the next move was the bird and the bottle, and without letting him know that I was doing the driving I guided him right across to Churley's. The head rusher over there is one of my best trained pets, and as we went inside I dropped behind and spoke to him. "Frank, I ordered, 'get us two tables next to the wall, and when there's a certain party of three comes in—a nice-looking young couple and an old lady—I'll give you the nod and you give them the other table.' "Frank was on in a minute. We took the far table, and I managed it so grandpa would have his back to the other one. Say! I must be awful slow to learn, for I'd rather have foam than bubbles any day; but this time it was me for the chilly quart. I sipped mine slowly, though, and by touching glasses ever so often I coaxed grandpa on to be the real human sponge. When my special audience came in, the second quart was frosting the silver pall, while grandpa was only twenty-five and getting younger every second. From where I sat I could keep my eye on the door, and as Frank started back with Mr. Hardy and Grace and Ma he caught my nod. I kept grandpa busy just then so that he never turned around, but they saw us. Some they did! The two young ones were wise in a second and the tableau was peaches and cream to them; but mother had the shock of her life, for just as Frank seated her at the end of the table where the whole pantomime was in full view, I had grandpa pawning for my hand, and cackling, plenty loud enough for mother to hear, that I was positively the only original package of genuine joy! "Of course, mother lorgnetted me for keeps, and if there was a basting "How true it is," he said, "that poetry is on the decline." Reduced Cost of Dressing. "Here's the latest scheme to beat the high cost of being well dressed," said a Fifth avenue milliner, according to the New York Sun. "Six women came to my shop together, picked over the stock till they found six hats, each of which suited the fancy of all six. Then each paid one-sixth of the total bill and the hats were sent to six addresses, no two in the same part of town. I learned later that the hats were shifted at the end of a week and so on till each woman had up peared in six new hats in six weeks. By that time each woman's friends had forgotten the hat she'd worn six weeks before and the six shifts could be made again, and so on till the season was over or the style changed.

Not a bit of it—that is a way some women have on cinching things. --- thread about me that hadn't been pulled out she saw through to it. If I'd been innocent I'd have shriveled up under that searchlight, but I wasn't. I was perfectly wicked and proud of it, and having the time of my life. So was grandpa. I let him wabble on and on, getting farther and farther away from an alibi all the time, with Mr. Hardy and his Grace all but stuffing napkins into their mouths to keep from screaming. Grandpa got more kittenish every minute. He didn't notice any more whether I was drinking or not, and every glass of the foolish water he took made the lights turn rosier, until at last he got too confectionery and then I arose in offended dignity. "Sir," said I, 'with you at your age I thought I should be sufficiently chaperoned, but as it is I must go home alone! Good evening.' "I paused just at the end of the other table to say that 'Good evening,' and of course the long-lost old man turned around to look at me. Instead, he found himself looking square into the blazing eyes of mother, and the curtain was down. The last I saw as Frank sent our waiter over to him with the check, was grandpa huddled in his chair, blinking his eyes and trying to figure out what had hit him. "Maybe they weren't the grateful ones, young Hardy and his girl. They made me come to the wedding, and mother was quite chocolate creams. She recognized me as the poor, embarrassed girl at Churley's, but not as the manicure girl of the Belvegh, and she seemed quite anxious about my family." "Williams?" she repeated, as she shook my hand. "Williams? Are you by any chance connected with the Williamses of Narrarsett?" "No; the Williamses of Park Row', I said, and the dear old soul was perfectly satisfied. She didn't know New York, nor the names on the lampposts down Bowery way, and Park Row sounded real aristocratic to her, I guess." GOOD JOKE ON POLITICIANS French Senators and Deputies Accepted Invitations to Attend Centenary of Bogus Author. Life is often stranger than fiction, but that a hoax should be pulled off in cultured and brilliant Paris that surpasses the ingenious fancy of the clerical playwright who wrote the delightful anglo-Irish farce, "General John Regan"—a play in which, thanks to an American joker, a monument is erected in an isolated Irish town to a military and political hero who never existed—is a matter for some surprise. A French newspaper that had doubtless heard of the Irish farce tried the idea on members of the present parliament. It sent a letter to senators and deputies in the name of a "committee" and invited their participation in the grand celebration of the centenary of the "famous author, Hegesippe Simon," a specimen of whose profound and winged phrases was given on the note paper. The striking thought was, "When the sun rises, darkness vanishes." The "committee" offered to furnish material for appropriate addresses in the memory of the great man. This was enough—more than enough. Fifteen senators and nine deputies—among them ex-cabinet ministers—swallowed the bait. They were so flattered by the invitation that they promptly accepted, omitting to look into works of reference. Some added tributes to the great thinker and regretted contemporary neglect of him. The paper promptly gave away the hoax, and France is laughing at the humiliated politicians. The moral of the affair is too plain to need pointing out. It is safe to say that politicians who hear of the incident will add some biographical literature to their libraries or use more care in the selection of secretaries. Indian Ghost Story. Several years ago I had a studio in Albuquerque, N. M., and the walls of my reception rooms and office were hung with large photographs of Indians, Karl Moore writes in Leslie's. One day I was visited by six men of the Navajo tribe, who, after much smoking and visiting, made known the real cause of their call. Directly over my desk was a framed portrait of one of the old medicine men of their tribe, who had just died. Believing that a part of his soul was imprisoned in the portrait—else how could it look so like him?—they asked me if I would not destroy it, so that his spirit might be released and be at peace. I immediately took the print from the frame and tore it into bits while the men looked on with silent approval. After thankening me they each shook hands in turn and fled quietly out of the room. They did not suspect that there might still be in existence other copies of the picture or a negative. Real Drug Rutger Jewett, the New York litterateur, gave a luncheon the other day at the Players' club in Germany park and during the game course a club attendant brought to one of Mr. Jewett's literary guests a long, omnious-looking envelope. At sight of this envelope, so familiar to all litterateurs, a shout of laughter went up. The object of the laughter blushed, and thrust the envelope hurriedly into his inside coat pocket. "It's only an elegy, boys," he said, "that the editor of Scribbler's has turned down. Mr. Jewett shook his head. "How true it is," he said, "that poetry is on the decline." peared in six new hats in six weeks.

A very helpful plan for beautifying the garden is shown in the accom- panying illustration, which, if care- fully followed, will give results that are successful and of permanent beauty. In the plan well-designed borders are filled with shrubbery in the corners, or the rear, and hardy perennials in the foreground. These should be planted according to their height and color. Foxgloves, peonies and Oriental poppies are excellent for grouping. Both German and Japanese irises and brilliant Sweet Williams must find a place here also. Narcissus and daffodil give a perfect effect if planted as a border about the entire sweep of beds. These, together with Gaynay Globe Grain Ancient Ancient Ancient the flowering shrubbery, are gorgeous in the early springtime. The open spaces shown in this plot are reserved for lawn. In the center is a illy pool, having a cement basin. A gazing-globe is at one end and a sun dial opposite. At each side of the garden are semi-circular white benches which invite one to tarry. A scheme for a more pretentious garden having stately Lombardy poplars and a pergola at the rear, has proved popular. Beneath the latter is placed a group of white garden furniture. Perennial borders frame the lawn with brilliant color. An edge of boxwood is exceedingly good. Plant tall-growing hollyhocks and mallow marvels in the background. Masses of helianthus, coreopsis and poplies should appear in prominent groups. Foxgloves, English larkspur and hardy phlox should be planted in abundance. Japanese iris, snapdragon and gay Sweet Williams are good just within the short-cut boxwood border. Stepping-stones lead to the artistic sun dial and pedestal. LOOKS TO PUBLIC WELFARE Kansas City Institution Might Well Be Copied by Other Big Centers of Population. The board of public welfare is an institution in which Kansas City has set an example for the whole country. Delegations from other places repeatedly have visited the city to study the workings of the board with the idea of applying its principles at home. The latest city to take the matter up is Chicago. Recently Mr. Jacob Billikopf of the Kansas City board was invited to explain its operation to the Chicago Association of Commerce. Following his address an ordinance has been introduced in the Chicago council by Prof. C. E. Merriam, an alderman, to establish a department of public welfare with two bureaus. One is the bureau of employment, which is to operate municipal lodging houses and gather information on general working conditions, as well as to help persons find work. The second is the bureau of social surveys, to collect information on living conditions in Chicago and to recommend ordinances for their betterment. The judiciary committee of the council has unanimously recommended the ordinance for passage. Cities generally are beginning to assume larger responsibilities for better conditions of living.

Stitts, the International Bible Student, ‘The question ofttimes arises in the minds of Bible rtudents, “Who are the spirits in prison and why are they there?" The answer heretofore given Was hnsatisfactory to all students of the Bible. It has been stated that those spirits are human belngs who ied betore the flood and when Christ was dead thee days, he was in Hell preaching to them. Let us take God's word. He is his own interpreter. He will take the Scripture for our Guide. If Christ is dead He could not do any declaiming to them for the dead know not anything, ‘They have no memory, Eccl, 9:5-10. For it is gone; his breath goeth from him; in that very day his thoughts perish. Ps, 140:4, ‘The soul is dead and 4s In hell, hades, [the invisible grave, They are not en: joying happiness nor suffering with The International Bible Student pain.

Gen, 2:7. God made the angels, spirits, P 104:4; Heb, 1:7. This subject apples to angelic, sinners; they also are called the sons of God. Job 88:7. By searching the scripture we learn that those spirits which Christ preached to were the angelic sinners, ‘There are angelic sinners and human sinners, When man sinned he was condemned and sentenced to death, Gen. 3:3, For we know that the wages of sin is death. Rom. @:23. But when the an- gels sinned they were condemned and sentenced to chains of darkness, Jude 1:6. This was the prison mentioned in Pet. 3:18-19, Now I will attempt to interest you, The question arises, “Why were they there and why did God sentence them to prison? What crime did they commit?" We answer by Divine authority. They committed fornication, Jude 1:6-7, The angels who kept not their first estate but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day— ‘The Millenial in which Christ will reign a thousand years. These An- geile sinners will be there for their trial, for we know that the Saints shall judge angels. 1 Cor. 6:3; Rev. 20:6; Acts 17:31, Man was under the admintstration of the angels trom the time he sinned in the Garden of Eden to the flood. Gen, 3:24, Peter fur- nishes us a statement that these spir- its became disobedieat in the days of Noah, I Pet. 3:20, We still find where they are called the Song of God. The Sons of God saw the daughters of men and they were fair and they took unto them wives, all of which they chose. Gen, 6:2. God was not pleas: ed with their inter-marriage so he sent @ flood and destroyed them off the face of the earth, The children of these Sons of God and the daughters of men were great men of renown, They were part angelic and part human beings ‘They were born in a lustful condi tion.
