METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE Another Splendid S. S. Convention, Gone Into History By DR. C. C. PHILLIPS, Golconda, ill. Golconda, Ill, June 27, 22 The East Mt. Olive S. S. Convention closed a very pleasant and prifitable session with the Shiloh S. S. Murphysboro, June the 25. Elder A. J. Bowers is an charge of the congregation. He and his good folks know how to care for an Assembly. About all of the brethren were present, that usually make up the Convention except Elder S. H. Pruitt, of Shawneetown. We only recall about three changes in the official staff. Eld. McQueen, of Dewmaine, was elected president; Bro. Reese Springs of Duquoin, vice president; Mrs. Bettie Wilkerson of Mt. Vernon, 2nd vice, Miss Jewel Ramsey, Marion, Cor. Sec. Eld. A. J. Bowers, Carbondale, Treas. Eld. H. C. Armstead Treasurer Emeritus. It must be said to the everlasting credit to this grand old christian warrior, that he served for years as treasurer for S. S. Convention, and East Mt. Olive Association, tor long years, and for the General Missionary Baptist State Association, and has always given splendid account of himself, and every cent of the money that was entrusted to his care. Moderator J. D. Davis, State Missionary, H. E. McWilliams, of Chicago; and the Moderator, of the Gen. M. B. Association, of Decatur, divided time with the E. Mt. Olive and Mt. Olive S. S. Conventions; preached good sermons and went thair way rejoicing. Eld. D. L. Braxton, preached twice while there. Eld. J. H. McQueen, preached the closing sermon. Yes and Eld. Wm. Chaney, Carbondale, pastor of Mt. Zion church, preached too, and his better half delivered a splendid paper in B. Y. P. U Dr. Jones Touring South. Evanston, Ill. Special The Baptist throughout the United States are making a determined effort to pay the ten thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars, which they owe on their Seminary and Training School at Nashville. Dr. Edward P. Jones, for the last seven years president of the Convention, said just before leaving Evanston for the South where he has been invited by the Baptist that every indication points to the Convention at Nashville in September as the most constructive in all the denominaton in history. Our aim and pnpose to put over a program emphasizing the importance of Christian Education and the spreading of the Gospel must appeal to every right thinking man and woman throughout the country. The slogan at Nashville in September will be "Every Baptist a doer and lifting as we climb." He is spending this week in North Carolina and goes from there to attend the Louisiana State Convention at Baton Rouge. Trustees of Old Ministers' Home Dr. C. C. Phillips, Pres.; Rev. D. Davis, Sec ; Dr. J. B. Beck- Others preached too, but time and space forbids us to speak of them. The S. S. represented from $2 50 to $17.00. Mt. Vernon, school is the $17 organization. We must not neglect to speak of Prof. M. Singleton, who has filled the office as president, with credit. To him it is due for the financial standard of the schools, that is to say recommendations from time to time has been inspiring. The only reason for the change, was his confinement to the schoolroom. He was highly commended for his work as president, made a life member and a nice present is to be given him. If we recall properly $42.00 was left for the pastor, and S. S. The schools sent in $23.00 for Supt. of Missions, $8. for Foreign missions, $10. State missions, $5. district missions, $40. for minutes, $10. for Aged Mininsters' Home, etc. The convention goes to Duquoin, next year. Those of us who live to see the next annual meeting will see a record breaker. Fourteen schools represented, not one represented 100 members, we know how to raise the money; "out rival themselves." We do not know just what amount was realized this year. Our figures are generally from $275.00 to $4.06. We lay down the challenge to any S. S. Convention throut out the country. In the convention there 3 years ago or perhaps 4, 16 professions, and we baptized 6 or 7 of them The brethren of East Mt. Olive S. S. Convention forgot to appropriate anything to the "poor old Editor" of The Gazette, who keeps their work before the public eye without any special charge. Just a reminder.—Editor.

EDITOR OF GAZETTE COMPLIMENTED On The Fight He Made For Governor Len Small BY ELDER G. C. PHILLIPS, D. D. Congressman T. S. Williams, Remembered for His Stand on the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill Editor J. B. McCrary. We feel to commend The Metropolis Gazette, for the noble stand taken for Gov. Small, in the suit brought against him, for the purpose of putting him out of politics. They had no hope of a conviction, in the Courts. But rather eviction from politics. "That was thear Idol." We speak of the work of the, Gazette, because it appeared to be the only paper in this end of the State to follow the case to the end, contending that the Governor had violated no law and that he would be acquitted in the Court, so those of your friends who gave you the simple 'hoss laugh' at your prophecy and unstintingly supporting of the Governor can see that you had unshaken confidence in his honesty and veracity and had the courage to use the columns of The Gazette to spread your conviction, and now it is all over and the jury has sounded the word 'not guilty' and they see your wisdom and foresight in the fight waged for Justice and Manhood. The Chicago Tribune, only carried one side of the case. It was indeed amusing as well disgusting to read the editorial in the Tribune last evening. It seemed worried because the case so quickly came to an end, after the State had finished its evidence. It says: "Mr. Small never took the stand to deny under oath that he did not receive any of the money. Neither did the defense put any other witness on the stand to make such a denial. And he was acquitted." The lawyers tell us that no man, shall take the stand to sware anything until he has been proven guilty. The State has had abnut six or eight weeks to make out their case, but is passed out of existence like chaff before a great storm. The Governor is a bereaved man today, because his wife has been sent to an untimely grave, because of a great political harrangue set upon him by his political enemies. The Governor or his Political Generals, should see to it Brother editor that you are amply rewarded for the fight the Gazette has made for him. Bro. Editor you must now begin to sound the alarm, respecting Senators that became lukewarm on the Dyer Anti-Lyncing Bill that is slumbering for the want of attention Yes, mark them that have become indifferent to, the Republican Plattform, respecting lynching as given out by President Harding, in no uncertain sound. Congressman, Thos. H. Williams speaks in the following language: Dr. Phillips, I am in receipt of a copy of the resolution passed by the East Mt. Olive Baptist Aassociation at Carrier Mills, on August 11, 1921, I thank you very much for furnishing me a copy of these resolutions and assure you I am in hearty sympathy with the sentiments expressed. I am in favor of the passage of the Dyer Bill and assure you it will have my support in everyry respect. With kindest personal wishes and congratulating you on on the splendid work you are doing I am sincerely yours, Ex. Gov. Richard Yates, "Billy Madden," and others were not silent on the bill, and the race men, and women cannot afford to be silent on thgm next Nov. The Editor of The Gazette will give good account of himself in no uncertain sound in due time Dr. Phillips. We thank you for the high compliment paid us in the above article on our stand for Gov. Small, and hope he and his friends will view it in the light you have mentioned. Ramblings On Tuesday June 20, we, in company of our grand-son, Master Joseph Edgar, left on the I. C. for Sparta, to attend the S. S. Convention. We joined Mrs. Ellen White, of Brookport, and her little grand-daughter, Vivian at the station and we journed together to Sparta, as she was a delegate from Unity Baptist S. S. of Brookport. On arriving at Coulterville, we failed to make our connection for our destination. We wended our way to the home of Rev. and Mre. M. E. Pannell, where we were cared for and given dinner. We soon learned that there was no accommodation, for strangers in that city, and the good minisster and his faithful wife being crowded out by visiting relatives, so it was our move, and the minister arranged it so we could secure taxi and soon we were off for Sparta, in a fine seven seated car feeling very much elated over the fact that if we encountered no trouble with the car that we would cover the eight miles that lay between us and the beautiful little city of Sparta.

METROPOLIS. ILL Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrhã deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.

We, however failed to present any greetings or speak a word to the convention as their business was of such importance until the presiding officer an the Brethren overlooked us entirely; of course, we were not a "stranger," perhaps that aceounted for the oversight, although we thought common courtesy was due us, such as we extend to the brothers when they appear before us. We left the next morning for Carbondale; and from there to Carrier Mills and was carried to the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mitchell, by Bro.

Hooks, Reporter, VESSELS BUILT IN SECTIONS Ships Intended for Operation on Lakes Far Inland Are Now Transported Piecemeal. A well-known shipbuilding firm in the north of England is at the present time building a vessel which will be carried to Africa in portions. It will be re-assembled at its ultimate destination. Every year ships are built in Great Britain for use on lakes and inland waters in all parts of the world. Usually these are built and bolted together in the shipyard before being taken to pieces and sent to distant parts in separate packages. A large mission steamer built some years ago for use on Lake Nyassa, in Africa, was erected in England as if for launching. But no rivets were used; bolts and 'nuts held the steel framework together. The sides, port and stairboard, were painted in different colors, and every bar, plate, and piece of steelwork bore a different number and letter. Thus the builders in Africa could tell at a glance whether a plate belonged to one side or the other; the exact position it was intended to occupy was denoted by the reference number and letter. In order to facilitate transport, this steamer was divided into over three thousand packages, each of which weighed from half a hundredweight to five hundredweights. The greatest difficulty encountered in sending these ships abroad is with the boilers and masts. The boilers weigh many tons, and the masts are difficult to handle on account of their length. BELONGED TO FAMOUS MAN Chair Once Used by Primate Bramhall Restored to Place in Cathedral at Armagh. An ancient chair which was dedicated recently at Armagh (Ireland) cathedral by the primate was a great find, being the oak chair.beelonging to Primate Bramhall, who came into office shortly after Cromwell's time. For many years efforts have been made to trace the chair, but it was only a few weeks ago that it was discovered to be in the hands of a well-known London expert. The chair was submitted to a famous antiquarian who at once identified it, with the result that it has returned to its original home—the cathedral. At the top of the chair is carved a large eye—the all-seeing eye; beneath it a crown after a miter, and under that the arms of the See of Armagh. Under this is the true cross, and below it again 1661—the date on which Archbishop Bramhall was enthroned. On the last panel are the capital letters, "M.R.H." standing for Armagh. To Honor Noted Frenchman 16 Honor Noted Frenchman. The French Academy of Sciences has been officially informed that Switzerland is preparing to commemorate the centenary of the great French mechanician and watchmaker, Abraham Louis Breguet. Born in Neufchatel in 1747, member of the Institut and Bureau of Longitudes, he died in Paris in 1823. The astronomical and nautical instruments invented by Breguet were noted for the perfection of thier workmanship. His improvements in watches included the use of rubles in pivot holes. He fled to London during the Reign of Terror, but returned after the ninth Thermidor. On the occasion of this centenary the Swiss council of state will hold next year an international competition for chronometers in the observatory of Neufchatel. Gone Beyond Repair I was returning on the electric train late one day from a long hike with my geology class. We were tired, and in getting our seats I pushed with my foot the back of the seat in front so that we could face each other. I heard a crash, and with dismay saw I had knocked to the floor *n* bag which was on the seat. The owner promptly appeared on the scene with what seemed to me undue anxiety. I apologized for my act, adding that no harm seemed to have been done to his bag. His perturbation was explained when he announced in a loud voice, "Young man, there are eggs in that bag!"—Exchange. King Admires Shakespeare King Admires Shakespeare. The king of Siam is one of the outspoken admirers of Shakespeare. This was learned through the recent anniversary celebrations at Stratford, when a letter was received by the chairman of the trustees of Shakespeare's birthplace, written by the king's secretary, who says that the king is translating Shakespeare's works into Slamese. The secretary sent on behalf of the king a check for $500 as a personal contribution to the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and $250 for the memorial theater fund. He says that his majesty is an ardent admirer of the British national poet and is doing his utmost to induce the Slamese to study him. Harmony of Colors. It is a well-known fact that a pleasing harmony of colors attracts the eye much as musical harmony pleases the ear. In order to test the harmony of color combinations, a machine has been devised, described and illustrated in the Popular Mechanics Magazine, with which a colored disk is revolved rapidly so as to cause the colors to merge, and this visual mixing of the colors gives the same result to the eye as would the actual mixing of the colored inks themselves. THEN SHE AROSE SUDDENLY Elderly Lady Discovered She Had Made Wrong Choice of Her Resting Position. It is hard sometimes for the old and the young to arrive at a common point of understanding. The old lady and the Sunday school boy in this story did finally arrive at an understanding, but not until the boy had suffered damage to his feelings, if not to his possessions. A picnic was in progress, and the benevolent and elderly lady took much enjoyment in witnessing the delight of the children who were disporting themselves in her grounds. She went from one to another, saying a few kind words to each. Presently she seated herself on a grass plot beside Dickie, a little boy with golden curls and an angelic expression. But as soon as he observed her sitting beside him Dickie set up an ear-piercing howl. "Have you the stomach-ache?" she asked, anxiously. "No, I ain't." snapped Dickle. "Perhaps you would like some more cake." "No!" roared the angelic child. "What I want is my frog that I ketched." "Frog?" "Yes, my frog! You're sitting on him!"—Philadelphia Ledger. IN THE LAND OF ROMANCE Commonplace Couple Only Joking When They Compared Their Different Preferences. They were sitting in the half-darkness of the picture theater, holding hands. They were very small, pale, and insignificant. He was "something in the city," she was the same thing in the female "line." The stirring drama upon the screen was "The Queen and the Duke." "An't she a wonderful queen? That's the sort I like—the tall, stately woman that can lock you over like a worm and go trailing them silk robes round and granting her favors with a cold, proud smile upon her beautiful lips." "Really, Jack!" "No, Sue; I was only joking!" And they held other one's hands a little tighter, and the screen lost its interest for at least two more in the crowded picture house. Unknown Australia A motoring expedition which will occupy months and cover ground hitherto untraversed without the aid of camels and donkeys is being undertaken from Adelaide for Darwin, returning through the bush country of Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria, approximately 8,000 miles. The party includes Mr. McCallum, a state legislator and authority on pastoral stock, who is financing the trip and will report to the federal government on the possibilities of settlement and development of the interior by whites, also on the benefits of a transcontinental line. Captain White, a noted ornithologist, will collect birds in connection with the Australian check list which has occupied scientists for years and will be completed in October.—London Times Weekly. Burmese Story of Man's Origin A myth current among the Burmese says that heavenly beings came down from the skies to the earth, and there ate Thalesan, a particular kind of rich rice, which gradually made them gross of habit, so that they were unable to make their way back to the higher heavens again and had to become men and women. The Chins have a story of the Tower of Babel to account for the various clans that inhabit the range of hills looking down on the Bay of Bengal, and traditions of a deluge are found everywhere. The Kachchis tell a story of the passage over a bridge, to the afterlife, and there are many more of the kind that suggest these folk-myths come down from a long-gone past. To Tell Time Elsewhere. For the convenience to know the time in other leading cities of the world as compared with New York time, a new desk clock has been placed on the market. This comprises an attractive brass front in the center of which is a small clock, says the New York Times. Surrounding the clock is a dial. This is marked with lines on which are placed the names of the various important cities. By turning the dial to the current time in New York the hour at San Francisco, London, Paris, Petrograd, Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo and other cities may be ascertained.

Stordy, who was chief veterinary surgeon of the British armies during the war, has taken to the pastoral life now—but on a very large scale. He is raising sheep and cattle on the high pampas of southern Peru, under the aegis of the Peruvian government and the Peruvian corporation. His experimental and survey work he finds absorbing, and he expresses the opinion that some day this region will become one of the richest grazing territories in the world through expert breeding of the country's valuable native wool-bearing animals, the vicuna and guanaco.

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL. YONKERS HAS THE CUCKOO Citizen Complains That the Birds Are Somewhat Too Attentive to Business. A proud but truthful resident of Yonkers admitted that there were a lot of cuckoos there. He wasn't proud of the cuckoos, particularly. As far as cuckoos are concerned, his pride is strictly civic. If one must have cuckoos, he prefers the Swiss kind, which are vocal only when wound up and then only at intervals. The Yonkers cuckoo doesn't have to be wound up. The imported eight-day cuckoo is a piker beside the Yonkers cuckoo. The Yonkers cuckoo stays awake half the night waiting for the dawn and each has the same pride in being the first to salute the earliest gleam of the sky that a farmer's wife has in getting her washing out before a neighbor's line is strung. From the moment that the night becomes fatality luminous until about 9:35 a. m. the air is tremulous with cuckoos. From 9:35 to 10:05, the cuckoos knock off for lunch. Then they're at it again until dark. They yelp "cuck-oo" at every resident of Yonkers they see and even at strangers from Peekskill. When the street is utterly deserted they murmur "cuck-oo, cuck-oo" just for practice. BIRD DOESN'T HAVE TO FLY Washington Specimen Uses the Street Car as His Particular Means Now that spring is here, it may interest bird lovers to know that at least one bird has solved the problem of transportation without the use of wings. Birds are famons for their migrations, but hitherto they always have used wing power. Now comes along one local bird who gets himself from place to place with scarcely the flap of a wing. This bird came riding down Pennsylvania avenue about eleven o'clock one morning last week. He was perched on the roof of a street car coming from Georgetown. When the car stopped at Eleventh street the bird alighted, and walked gravelly up and down the platform. He was a fine, big fellow, with a black body and a blue head, but did not look like a blackbird. After surveying the post office department for a bit, the bird flew over to a car about to leave for Mount Vernon, and established himself on the roof. When the bird pulled out, the bird was with it.—Washington Star. The World's Greatest Dam. Plans have been made to build a dam on the Colorado river which will hold back a volume of water equal to two years' flow of the entire 1,800 miles of rushing river. The dam is to be 700 feet high, approximately the height of the Woolworth building in New York city. The dam will form a reservoir with an area of 200 square miles and an average depth of 350 feet. This body of water will constitute the largest artificial lake in the world. One western railroad system is already planning to operate a fleet of steamers to carry tourists over this man-made lake to the Grand canyon, the wonder spot of America. The Panama canal is the only undertaking ever attempted in America which may be compared in magnitude or boldness of conception to this engineering project, which will transform an empire of waste into a region of productivity—World's Work. Robin Gets the Worm. Robins are growing fat on worms in Lafayette square. The grass there must be literally alive with worms, for no robin seems to have any difficulty whatever in picking up the best kind of living. You will see one of the birds hop along, then suddenly reach down. He begins to pull. Up comes his head with a worm hanging to his beak, one end of the worm held tenaciously by the robin, the other clinging fast to mother earth. Bracing himself the bird throws his entire weight in one final heave. He then consumes half the worm, and files away with the remainder. The performance does not strike one as cruel, for both bird and worm are operating under the laws of nature.—Washington Star. The Soil Does Not Exhaust. Dr. Curtis F. Marbut of the United States Department of Agriculture has sailed on a three-months' trip to Europe, and his special mission will be to determine why it is that the soil in some parts of Europe which has been worked since the Christian era. has not been exhausted. He will bring home samples of the soils of various countries visited and analyses will be made in the endeavor to arrive at the secret. In Italy and Greece the soil has been tilled for centuries and has never been fertilized, and has never had the advantage of live stock raising. Look Before You Leap. A novice was bracing the Dartmouth ski-jump. He shot down the incline, lurched weakly at the takeoff, landed face downward below and finished the slide, nose first, plowing into the snow smother.

Anyone can marry—anyone, everyone!—if they have a business manager who knows the business. Since the war, in France, weddings have doubled, births increased and deaths declined in the most astonishing manner. Now, as all know, marriage does not necessitate a business manager—the old heater-skelter way of falling in love by hazard will undoubtedly continue very much in vogue; but if anyone imagines that marriage is not moving with the times and yielding to business organization, they know little of what is happening in France today! Never before have girls done such marrying in France—with available bridegrooms so reduced in number! What is more, this organized promotion of marriage gives every girl a chance—despite handicaps of unacquaintance, social disadvantage, plain looks, lack of money, lack of family, lack of pushing friends to aid the match. Your business manager's your pushing friend! "But the quality, monsieur, think of the quality!" said madame. "Durable, solid, the best mark in France! Before the young folks are allowed to meet, both had been investigated, weighed, compared and balanced by social experts and the pairing-off O. K.'d in final conference! Now, there's a marriage that will last. It's got good wear in it!" PARROT FISH ODD CREATURE Must Have Been Devised When Mother Nature Were In Unusually Freakish Mood. If some one asked you, "What is that which has a beak like that of a parrot and cheek pouches like those of a monkey, lives in the sea and chews the cud like a cow?" you might imagine it was some kind of catch riddle. Yet there is a creature which answers this description perfectly. It is called the parrot fish. The upper and lower jaws have become hardened into a sharp, curved beak, which is just the tool required for lopping off lumps of tough weed. Each piece snipped off by the beak is passed into one of the two curious pouches which adorn the cheeks, and there it remains until the parrot fish feels that he has collected enough to make a good meal. He then lies on the bottom and chews the cud by means of the splendid set of teeth which nature has placed, not in his mouth, but in his throat.—Exchange. Time's Changes in England. The poacher, the trespasser, the man who by accident lets his pigs or heifers up upon the public road, the urchin who robs an orchard, and many minor rural "malefactors" are, it is generally claimed, being more personally dealt with by modern country magistrates, in England. The abolition of the old-time benches of squires and landowners, whose right to be made justices of the peace was almost regarded as hereditary, and their substitution by men of integrity in every walk of life, and now by women, has wrought a change in rural police court justice which the country mind understands and appreciates to the full. On a country bench recently, a prominent landowner, his agent, one of his laborers were all adjudicating together. A Kind Wish. When Jean wont to her little neighbor's to visit she often talked to the grandmother of the house. "I have a grandmother, too," she would say, "but she is heaven." And she and the grandmother of the house were good friends until one day the grandmother was cross. She scolded the two little girls for leaving the screen door open, for walking in a flower bed and dropping crumbs on the floor. The two youngsters sought refuge on the porch. Grandmother started to follow them there a little later, to try to make up. She realized the necessity of doing so, for when she reached the door she heard Jean say: "Ruth, I wish your grandmother was visitin' my grandmother today." Still Shrouded in Mystery. Mary and her little brother were playing in the back yard. A worm came to play its humble part in their lives, too. "Oh, Mary," he cried, suddenly. "I have found a worm!" A robin looked enviously from a tree. "Oh, Mary," the child exclaimed, "is a worm good luck? Say, Mary, is a worm good luck?" Mary replied, but her voice was quiet, so that I do not know yet whether a worm is good luck or not.—Washington Star. Husbands They Would Like. Half of the women enrolled at the University of Wisconsin are willing to marry a man on a salary of $2,500 a year, according to a report issued by the statistics committee of the university. An average of one coed out of seven wants a husband with a salary of at least $5,000 a year, while one coed demanded a $20,000-a-year husband.

Phone 364 Great Duke of Wellington Somewhat Awkward in, His, Courthship In his book of reminiscences, Arthur Coleridge, a great-nephew of the famous poet, gives an interesting account of Jenny Lind. He was her intimate friend for 20 years. He tells the following story of the prima donna and the duke of Wellington; "In four months after her arrival in London the old warrior had become a captive to the enchantress. He courted the lady so ostentatiously as to rouse the jealousy of the Italian faction; his enthusiasm was rather awkward at times, to the object of his homage. I have her own authority for saying that the duke always arrived early and seated himself in his box on a level with the stage. Directly he saw Jenny Lind he opened fire: 'Good evening, Miss Lind, how are you tonight? All right, I hope.' These well-meant utterances were a trifle of place at the particular time, for the Lucia, Amina, or Daughter of the Regiment was always so absorbed in her part as to be out of touch with all outside influence." FLAPPER HAD KINDLY HEART Just Goes to Prove That One Is Not Always Safe in Judging by Appearances. She got on the interurban car a few stops the other side of Greencastle last week—a typical little flapper with bobbed hair, an abundance of paint on her cheeks, short skirt and imitation of a blouse, and she flirted with every available man in sight. Across the alley was an old-fashioned girl, the sort you see in pictures. Every one of the latter's glances toward the little flapper were full of scorn. But when they reached Greencastle a little Japanese girl got on the car. And then both of the girls watched her. A few miles out of town the Japanese girl became ill. The old-fashioned girl sat aloof, but the little "flapper" immediately got interested, moved over to her, patred her cheek and then straightened her on the seat, taking the other girl's head in her lap. If a vote could have been taken for the most popular girl on the train the "flapper" would have taken first, last and all honors. —Indianapolis News. Worth Recording. A Washington woman had scrimped for a long time to take a trip to ramama. A man very much younger than herself, in the deck chair beside her, was making the voyage for the good of a frazzled nervous system. He was a whimsical youngster, who could joke at his own ups and downs, and she was used to boys, so they talked of this and that until at last the subject came around to the thing that makes the traditional mare go. The woman, still dazed at the Aladdin-like power that could transmute small economies into a fairy world of blue ocean blowing into blue sky, took her turn at the conversation by voicing civilization's oldest platitude: "Money talks, doesn't it?" "It sure does, though my money only knows two words—"Good bye." And the woman has brought it home as one of her good little stories. The Church Fair. The suburban woman and her seventeen-year-old son, George, went to the church fair. The fair, like most church fairs, was costing the woman a great deal of money. It was a chance on this and a chance on that. A few articles she bought outright. Since she was well known and her husband's salary was also a matter of town gossip, all her friends who had charge of booths insisted upon her buying and buying. All this continual handing out money was too much for George's comprehension. He couldn't seem to understand the cause of it all. Finally, when his mother was free for a few moments, he looked at her seriously and asked, "Mamma, do we have to pay to get out?"—Chicago Journal. Cuts the World's Whiskers. The American safety razor is given the credit of having conquered the Spanish beard. On account of the heaviness of their beards, the Spanish men generally shave much less than those of other countries and the result was they presented a rather unshorn appearance. The visit to the barber was a serious matter and the Spaniard selected his barber as other men would select a dentist, the one that was least painful. But the American safety razor is said to have overcome this and the men are not only enabled to shave themselves, but to shave more frequently. Penny-urious. So to Speak. A man who had just opened a store in a strange town was interrogating one of his early customers on the purchasing power of the citizens. "Now, there's Deacon Brown," he said. "He has the reputation of being wealthy. Would he be likely to spend much money in here?" "Wa-al," drawed the native, reflectively, "I wouldn't exactly say that he'd go to hell for a nickel, but he'd fish around fer one till he fell in."—Salt Lake Telegram. A Privilege of Youth. Mrs. Chatterton—Oh Henry; what do you think? Little Richard is beginning to talk. Her Husband—Good luck to him! It's more than I've been able to do in this house. How did he ever get the chance?
