FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Last Sunday was a day of national significance, naturally the mind of thinkers would drift and meditate upon matters of national importance. The pastor delivered a great prophetic sermon from the theme "National Trifling". In the message the nation was given a warning against the practice of hypocrisy, jealousy and kindred skills. Appropriate programs were rendered in the Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. In the evening service, Rev. Bowling preached another deep and effective sermon. BANK STREET BAPTIST W. J.

Long, Sunday morning, at the Bank St., Baptist Church, on the subject, "The Existence of God His nature, and the acceptable mode of Worship." The discourse dealt, first with the Bible as the revealed will of God towards man; second on the nature of God, as a spirit; third, what man in his worship of God must do in his spirit an dtruth. In the afternoon the pastor preached on the subject of "True Friendship," to the Grand United IS JOSEPH THE FATHER OF JESUS? AN ANSWER TO MODERNIST PREACHERS By Columbus Maxwell The actions of Joseph after discovering that his espoused wife was with child before they came together ANSWERS NO!! "Now the Nativity of the Christ Jesus was thus: Mary His mother had been pledged to Joseph; but before they united, she was discovered to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph, her affianced Husband, being a just man and unwilling to expose her, pursued to divorce her privately. HATH NEIGHT THOU EVIL F Deut. 22 The man such marry above. The dating the he world aws, howe were never in a der function in the HEAD Theos But while he was reflecting on these things, behold! an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, Son of David, fear not to take Mary, thy afflicted wife; FOR THAT BEING FORMED in her is by the holy Spirit. She will bear a Son, and thou shall call his Name Jesus for he will save his PEOPLE from their SINS. (All this occurred, that the WORD SPOKEN by the LORD through the PROPHET, might be verified, saying: Behold! the VIRGIN shall conceive and bear a SON, and his NAME shall be called IMANU-EL;" which signifies, God with us.) And Joseph being raised from SLEEP did as the Angel of the LORD had commanded him, and took his wife; but he knew her not, till she brought forth a SON, and called his NAME JESUS.—Matt. J:18-25 (Emphatic Diaglott, Greek.) NOTE, THE BEHAVIOUR OF JOSEPH: "BEFORE THEY WERE UNITED SHE WAS DISCOVERED TO BE PREGNANT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT." Then JOSEPH, "BEING A JUST MAN AND UNWILLING TO EXPOSE HER, PURPOSED TO DIVORCE HER PRIVATELY." The virgin was of consecrated parentage on both sides, one highly favored of God. Her condition does not worry her at all because she had been told by the angel just what would be and just what she might expect. But she would never be able of her self to explain her condition to her husband nor to any of her people nor her friends. She faced the penalty of one of the two jaws. "WHEN A MAN HATH TAKEN A WIFE AND IT CAME TO PASS THAT SHE FINDS NO FAVOR IN HIS EYES, BECAUSE HE HATH FOUND SOME UNCLEANLINESS IN HER; LET HIM WRITE HER A BILL OF DIVORCEMENT, AND GIVE IT IN HER HAND, AND SEND HER OUT OF HIS HOUSE.—Deut. 2:41 "IF A DAMSEL THAT IS A VIRGIN BE BETROTHED UNTO A HUSBAND, AND A MAN FIND HER IN THE CITY AND LIE WITH HER THEN YE SHALL BRING THEM BOTH INTO THE GATE OF THAT CITY, AND YE SHALL STONE THEM WIH STONES THAT THEY DIE; THE DAMSEL, -BECAUSE SHE CRIED NOT, BEING IN THE CITY AND THE MAN, BECAUSE HE Order of Odd Fellows, of which a large representation were assembled at the service.

HATH HUMBLED HIS NEIGHBOUR'S WIRE: SO THOU SHALT PUT AWAY EVIL FROM AMONG YOU." Deut. 22:23-24.) The ancient Jews lived under such martial laws as I have cited above. The only perfect laws regulating the marriage state that the world has ever had. These laws, however, are Theocratic, and were never intended to function in a democracy; they can only function in a Theocracy: because the HEAD of the government being Theos (Goal) if He finds it good for the best interest of the state to take (surpress) the life situations and environments which will be more beneficial to those restored lives than were the circumstances and environments under which these lives lived and were surrounded before they were pressed (died). Marital unfaithfulness was no small matter among the ancient Jews. About such matters there was no ceremonious whitewashing. The men of this nation must have 'Standing. Within the Gates'. Joseph being a "JUST MAN" was also a merciful man: so, he decided that between the law of delivering her to be stoned to death, and that of giving her a bill of divorcement and sending her from his house: he chose to send her away, PRIVATELY. AN HEAVENLY INTERPOSITION— "But while he was reflecting on these things behold! an Angel of the Lord appeared o him in a Dream, saying, Joseph, Son of David, fear not to take Mary, thy a-anced FOR THAT BEING FORMED IN HER IS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT: Joseph could never be convinced by any other means than an angel; he had to have an extraordinary explanation. An heavenly interposition was intended for this very particular occasion. So, the ANGEL OF THE LORD SAID TO JOSEPH: That Being Formed In Her Is By The Holy Spirit. Heaven an always satisfy a "a Just man!" the voice from heaven changed all of the reflections passing through the mind of Joseph about the bill of divorcement, about sending her away and what his family and friends would say about him and It was not only an heavenly voice but it was a voice of AUTHORITY AND POSITIVE KNOWLEDGE, IT WAS OF AUTHORITY BECAUSE IT SAID: She Should Bear A Son And Thou Shall Call His Name Jesus: AND OF POSITIVE KNOWLEDGE BECAUSE IT SAID: "For He Shall Save His People From Their Sins." Now, WHY WAS JOSEPH GOING TO DIVORCE HIS WIFE? BECAUSE HE WAS NOT THE SIRE OF THE EN-WOMBED POETUS: THAT IS TO SAY: He (Joseph) was not the FATHER OF JESUS!" WHY WAS IT NECESSARY FOR AN ANGEL TO INTERVENE IN THIS MATTER? Joseph was about to invoke the law for merciful redress from an embarrassing situation surrounded by extraordinary phenomania which could never be explained to the satisfaction of Joseph by any scientist, philosopher, nor by any manner of science whatever! THE INTERVENTION OF THE ANGEL WAS to make it very plain that JOSEPH WAS NOT 'THE FATHER OF JESUS!!' AND THAT NO OTHER MAN WAS!! (Continued next week.) tivities THE REV. DR. 0. INSTALLED AT THE REV.

The third championship track and field meet will be held on Armstrong Field, Hampton Institute, on Saturday afternoon, May 17. The first championship meet, which was held in 1922, marked the opening of Armstrong Field and served as a great impetus to the development of track and field athletics in our colleges and high schools. No gift of the Hampton Institute graduates and former students to their alma mater could be served a greater purpose than the athletic field. Here the men of tomorrow are coming together in keen wholesome competition. The idea of preparedness and physical efficiency is taking on new meaning and gaining hundreds of new advocates. The meet this year will be bigger and better than ever before. A special interest is being shown naming the high schools which are sending larger teams to compete than was true in any of the previous meets. Some high schools, such as Armstrong High School in Richmond and DeWitt Clinton in New York are entering this year for the first time. New records are expected in both the intercollegiate and the inter-scholastic events. Wilberforce University is bringing a crack team from the Middle West and is entering the meet for the first time. The records for the previous meets are as follows. 1922-Inter-collegiate Group Hampton 59, Howard 46, Union 18; Petersburg 5. 1923 Meet Howard 33, Hampton 37, Lincoln 32; Petersburg 10, Union 8. 1922-Inter-Scholastic Group Bordentown 38, Dunbar, washington, D.

Howard University won the mile relay race in 1922 in 3 min, 29 3-5 sec; and in 1923, in 3 min, 28 2-5 sec; and in 1922 in 3 min, 32 2-5 sec; and in Bordentown won the mile relay in 1922 in 3 min, 42 2-5 sec; and in 1923, in 3 min, 38 sec. The mile relay race is expected to be a feature this year. The Lincoln relay team fresh from victory at the Penn relays will be one of the strongest contenders for honors. The Hampton championship meet is now an established event; and will be held annually. It is planned to give this meet the same kind of prominence among the Negro schools and colleges that the Penn and Drake relays hold in the East and Middle West. Basketball - Tennis Sportboard TOOTBALL - BASEBALL By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. Has it ever occurred to you to consider what a large number of record holders, especially considering the number of Negroes who compete compared to the whites aremen of our race? Many records and championships have been and are being held by Negroes Naming a few, that occur to us we have, is Warner Bros. Diana Dismond in the 400 yard dash and also the half mile, Charles Brookins in the 250 yard hurdles, E. O. Gourdin in the bread jump, DeHart Hubbard in the bread jump and hop, skip, and jump of the intercollegiate association, Earl Johnson in the distances, Charles West in the Pentithion, Sandy Evers, Canadian half mile runner, and an American hollowed yard dash in which he has been timed in nine and three fifths seconds, and a host of other star performers to numerous to name at this time. This all goes to prove that when the honor roll of the track and field is called an exceptionally position will be our boys. Interest In Hampton Track Meet. The next thing in the line of track and field meets that is of interest to the sporting public is the Hampton National Track Meet to be held on Saturday, May 17. This meet is becoming established and promises to become a Penn or Dalke relay for the Negro schools. No single event among the schools of our group does so much to bring out the material which is in the schools, helping to the recent Hampton Meet, the Hampton meet will be closely watched to see what Hampton can do at home, with her larger group to draw from as compared to what she did at Howard with ten men—the winning of a good second place in points.

To the perfect men are not all men. My husband gets up and cooks breakfast and lets me sleep. "You enjoy sleeping so much I hate to wake you," he says. He ticuates around to keep from waking me until breakfast—a delicious one, too—is ready; then he comes to the bed and kisses me until I wake. Then I feel ashamed, of course, and realize he is one in ten thousand — LUCKY ONE — Afro-American. ROSEANNE Bry J. A. Jackson New York City, May—The first colored dramatic show with an all-colored cast that has been commercially presented on Broadway, with no auspices, no uplift or quasi-philanthropic excuses, opened at the Shubert Riviera theatre on the big street way up at 97th street to more than fifteen hundred people, not more than a fourth of which was "paper" as the first night courtesies to Press and others whose impressions are valued, are described. The house capacity is 1800. ```markdown ``` Be it said to the credit of management, that Colored people were well represented and that they were seated in a sprinkled fashion thru the house in a manner that should be most satisfactory to the colored people at least. No friction was observed, and Hurtig and Seamon, the producers of the Race found no reason to regret asking the Shuberts to adopt the policy that has always prevailed in their own theaters—that of absolute democracy. The well assorted Race group that attended the opening included virtually all of "the Intelligence." Gilpin In The Piece Gilpin seemed to be working under wraps most the time, for the piece is manifestly not big enough for him, yet he and the piece are both better than many that Broadway has swallowed. If it lives, as we hope it will, the show world will learn that Negroes can do any type of dramatic work for the characters afford just about the whole gamut. It not, it will have served to set Rose McClendon, Eve scholastic hundred yard dash Richardson of Shaw Junior clocked in the marvelous time of 9 3-5. This places him among the select as far as the sprinters of the race are concerned. If he continues to run as he has been timed, a great future awaits him. Taylor of Lincoln ran just one-fifth slower and came in in 10 seconds, which is not slow anywhere. Many good records were made and exciting races were furnished in abundance. Coles of Hampshire two great races and the two mile. He won the mile in the best time that has been made in the former meets with a clocking of 1:33 and run Howard's great distance runner, Nichols, to the limit, and breathed the tape just as Nichols did. After a conference the judges decided that Nichols had won by an inch. In fact all contestants in the meet turned in good records, including a 15 second record for Williams of Hampton, in the 120 high hurdles. There is not much use dwelling upon the feats of the men as an accompanying report in this paper covers that. With a large entrance already received, the Hampton meet bids fair to break all preceding records in the matter of great races, fine records and friendly, yet intense rivalry between the schools for both the point trophy and relay races cups, and among the runners for the places and medals that can entitle them to an Olympic tryout. The Performances 1. This column will dwell at length upon the performances of the different schools and athletes in the coming meet set for the 17th, so this discussion will be cut short with that in view. The same schools and more will compete and at that time better records and perhaps more exciting races and hard fought field events will come off with the result that there will be more of interest to reflect upon.

Negro Dramatic Ability It is no longer a question of Negro dramatic ability, but of the willingness of the public to accept that ability. Comparisons are obvious, but some standard of measurement is required, therefore we utilize of those who originated the different parts in the white cast. "Roseanne" is the story of a perilous pastor responsible for seduction and ruin of the sister of his most admirer in the ladies. Aid Society of a small town church in the south. The piece was originally presented with a white cast working under make-up. It was not a success. This time, it is being done entirely by Negroes with Charles Gilpin of "Emperor Jones" fame featured in the heavy part. While Mr. Gilpin is much superior to the man who originated the part, he is not the Gilpin of Drama Club dinner fame. There was a note of disappointment on the part of the audience as failed out of the house, the opening night of the York. To hazard a word at the reason, it might be that the piece does not contain the opportunities needed to bring out the tremendous power of Gilpin. However in the last act we get a flash of the Gilpin that the public learned to love. EVELYN ELLIS SUPERR In the title rule, Rose McLendon, who succeeded Chrysanthem Hearne, we find an actress that at times rises to sulphure heights, but her work is unyang. She has not the melodious voice of Miss Hearne no is her technique as finished; but she compensates for those characteristics that are lacking, by the air of naturalness with which she invests the part. Little Evelyn Eiks as "Leok" the ering siph is superb in a part into which much must be put inapitatively brief period of time. Lillian and Margaret Brown respectively as "Sis" Tempel" and "Sis" Lindy Gray fict out of the characters they play all that is possible either in comedy effects or dramatic values. The piece has entertainment value, and the cast demonstrates that there is a wealth of potential talent among colored people. The agitation concerning another production: "All God's Chillun get wings," is in a measure responsible for a certain antagonistic atmosphere that operated as a handicap. This is unfortunate since there is nothing offensive to anyone in "Roseanne," a simple story told with remarkable detail. Roseanne resolves itself into a question as to whether or not Charles Gilpin is big enough to drag a whole colored company into favor with the general public. Roseanne is apparently not big enough vehicle, or the grade is too great. Failed To Hear Billy Sunday Sheffield, Ala., May 15—(P. N. S.)—Shortly after an excursion train pulled out of the local station Sunday morning an argument arose between two of the passengers bound to Memphis to hear Billy Sunday expound the gospel. In the course of the argument two pistol shots rang out and three were taken to a hospital in a critical condition. The names of the men were not learned.

The fumes of dried coltfoot were used as a remedy in case of difficulty in breathing, both in ancient Roman times and in Tudor England, Lyte, in his translation, 1578 of *Delocens* "History of Plants," says of coltfoot: "The perfume of the dryed leaves leaves upon quick coles, taken into the mouth through the pipe of a funnel, or turbine, helps relieve such as are troubled with the discomfort of wipes and forceth their breath thickle or often, and do breake without danger the impostons of the breast." The leaves of *coltfoot* and other plants have often been used as a substitute for tobacco in modern days. A correspondent of Notes and Queries, in 1821, said that when he was away he knew that Calhoun, Calhoun minister who used to smoke a dry mixture of the leaves of *horehound*, yarrow and "foalfoot" intermingled with a small quantity of tobacco. He said it was a very good substitute for the genuine article. Shuttle mixtures, or the leaves of *coltfoot*, have often been smoked in hygge days by folk who could not afford to smoke tobacco only—Detroit News. HAD NEVER TASTED CANDY Hunter in South Africa Discoverer Child Who Discovered Sweet Tooth It is generally conceded that the affections of a child can be gained, temporarily, at least, through gifts of candy. But one kind-hearted old gentleman who has an irresponsible affection for children and always goes around with his pocket full of swagments, which he treats with kindness, friend, learned on one occasion that candy was not an open seance to a child's heart. He was on a hunting expedition in Africa. His supplies included several tins of tins-covered chocolates. Happening to have some of these loose in his pocket one day when far inland he encountered a small native. He produced a candle and endeavored to present them to the two-year-old. They were refused, even when their tinsel wrapping was removed. The youngster had never seen candy and did not know what it was.—New York Sun and Globe. The Hasty Departure Ethel had been warned time and again that she must not keep company with Tom Jones, a young man with a questionable character. But it so happened on this particular right that Ethel's father was the one who greeted the young man as he entered the vestibule of his sweetheart's home. He no sooner had passed the time of day than he found himself seated in the middle of the street, by the candle of an angry father. Ethel, just having completed her toile, came downstairs and asked of her father what had become of Tom. "He just went out," replied the father grumily. "Gone out?" How soon will he be back?" asked his daughter. "Well," replied he, with sarcasm "if he comes back as quickly as he went out he's due here now." Advice Game High The only sure way to command a good price is never to cheapen one's stock in trade. A Texas justice of the peace received an inquiry from a neighborly city attorney in regard to a judgment that had been entered against a certain client. He enclosed a stumped envelope for reply. Some few days later he received a postal card bearing this message: "Your inquiry, duly received. I beg to inform you that my time is highly valuable just now. Hay cutting is most high here, politics is sizzling hot, and automobiling is mighty fine. If you would inclose a dollar bill it might stimulate me some. I paid two once to a lawyer for answering a question, and all he said was "No." Correct. In a public school recently the children were called upon to write an essay, and at the appointed time little Hugh submitted an effusion on the ark, in which he made the statement that Noah fished one day for about five minutes. When the teacher looked over the composition she was not a little puzzled. She could not understand why an old friend of Noah sport should give up in so short a time. "High," she re remarked, looking up from the essay, "you say that Noah fished for only five minutes?" "Because," was the prompt explanation of Hugh, "he 'dn't have two worms'—Harp." 5. Tiger Had Upward / a t i e s Which Small, Small Amount / t i e s, Tesh. The saber-toothed tiger, which seems to have become an extinct at about the time of the beginning of the Glacial period, has upper canines which, if some cases are said to have been five or six times as long as the neighboring teeth, and hence were called "gather-teeth." The animals became extinct because the great canines had overgrown their usefulness, and because of a lack of them to inning to be living. The canines finally became so large that the animal could not open its mouth wide enough to make use of them in biting, and the space between them would admit none but a very small piece of meat to enter, even if a large piece could be torn away—detroit News. Urge Pension For Widow Of Col. Young Washington, D. C.—(A. N. S.—The Senate committee on pensions has already made a favorable report on the bill for the relief of the widow of Col.

Louis Levine Atlanta, Ga., May—Before a large crowd of fans, Morehouse defeated South Carolina State College by the one-sided score of 12 to 2. Capt.

It took five thousand years to make the modern flapper. In "Adam's Rib," there is one of the famous DeMille "cut back" scenes in which the lives of the men of the cave man period are pictured. This scene Pauline Garon, a Pairi-bonnet woman are player, appears as the "mischievous" character of the language of the day, a flapper. She goes about without a stitch on—don't be alarmed—she is clad in skins and thongs, for stitches were not known to the cave woman, in regalia she goes about breaking heads with a club just as the modern girl goes about breaking heads with a club. The principal roles are in the hands of Milton Sills, Elliott Dexter, Anna Q. Nilson, Miss Garon and Julia Feye. "Adam's Rib" will be shown at the Colonial Theatre next Monday and Tuesday; two days only. An Opportunity FOR YOUNG-COUPLE With One Or No Children PARTLY FURNISHED APT. CHEAP Apply J. T. Taner & Co.

"Bill" was found to have less than a half of pint of corn whiskey on his person when arrested. Justice Spindle was inclined to let him off, until he told the court that the liquor had never been in his possession. He said while the officer was escorting him to the police box they stumbled on a half-pint bottle of corn when the officer拍瓶 it up and charged him with the possession of Him. He appeared so irredible that the justice gave him an opportunity to prove it before a jury. FOR DAMAGE DONE Charles Mason was arranged on a charge of recklessly operating an automobile. His car struck and damaged one driven by a white man. Charles told the court that he was willing to pay for the damage his machine had done, and the white man did not appear to desire to press the criminal charge against him. Justice Spindle held the fine in suspension until Charles could go and get the money to pay for the damage. The severity of the penalty was to depend on whether he kept his word or not. HIS TRUCK HIT MILK WAGON Richard Munsden was finished $10.00 and costs for reckless operating a automobile. A truck he was driving had struck a milkwagon near. Campostella, bridge. Munsden contended that the accident was as much the fault of the driver of the wagon as his. Attorney Walter Land insisted that Munsden's offense was vicious and to the malice it was purely an accident for which he should not be held entirely responsible. Justice Spindle was inclined to agree with the lawyer's contention and let Munsden off with a $10.00 fine. $ $ $ CONFESSIONAL BEATING GUITAR AND SHOES James Brown, a youth, admitted that he stole his board master's guitar at one time and his son's shoes at another time. Brown said he was out of work and had to have money to live. He pawned the articles he said. The boy made a clean breast of the whole affair, and a spittleful apology he made him great deal before the court. Justice Spindle let him off with ten days in jail. $ $ $ DIDN'T WANT TO POOL AND BUY CORN WHISKIE Mary Royal will probably not insist on Hattie Saunders pooling in and buying corn whiskey, with her anymore. The last tim eshe did that was Saturday and she was punched in the mouth by Hattie for her insistence, and Hattie in Police Court. The police said she cared for her, Mary did not care to tell her side of the story to the court, so she did not appear to prosecute the warrant. Hattie was dismissed.

Armstead pitching his last game for his Alma Mater on the home grounds kept the visitors at his mercy, allowing 3 scattered hits while his teammates clapped for 9 hits as many runs. St. Paul Coles one-handed catch of a hot grounder that looked like a sure hit was the outstanding feature of the game. Captain Epps and Jack Coles along with Armstead played their last game on the home diamond. The coach has a big job to develop men to fill the shoes left vacant by this stellar trio. The coach up an airtight game until the 6th inning when V. N. J. broke the tie. V. N. I. L.

S.)—Big Ed Rile, last year one of the “aces,” with Rube Foster’s American Giants of Chicago, blew into Pittsburgh last week and is now on the roster of the Homewood Grays. The Raleigh Raleigh is included in a bask all circles as a “master stroke.” It is a well known fact that the vaunted twirler, one of the most dangerous moundsmen the game has known for years, has been eagerly sought after by teams in the Eastern League. He stands six feet in height, weighing well over 200 pounds, appeared in fine playing fettle and inaugurated his coming here by holding the heavy-hitting rejuvenated Millvale Club to a 7-7 tie. Rile follows Beckwith here from the club to the pitching and his acquisition of the Grays one of the most formidable pitching staffs in Negro baseball. This staff consists of Williams, Owens, Rile and Smith at present. "Sensation" Clark, last year with the Grays, will again be here this season. Rumors to the effect that he will go to Baltimore are unfounded. JACK HENDRICKS INTERESTED IN RACE BALL PLAYERS JACK HENDRICKS INTERESTED IN RACE BALL PLAYERS Pittsburg, Pa., May 15—Del Clarke, former big leaguer, had dropped some valuable information anent the interest taken in Negro ball players. During the conversation, the man named Hendricks, successor to Pat Moran as manager of the Cincinnati Reds was mentioned. And then Del told of Hendricks' interest colored ball players and imparted the information that many of the present day stars came then Hendricks' school. Before the formation of the presided by Hendricks League, according to Clarke Hendricks was interested in the formation of a colored league in the West, and over hard to put this project over. Among the men whom he helped are Del Clarke, who has pastime in every big city; he is the man who has been recognized as the peer of second baseman; "Dink Martell, at present understudy to Dunan of the Kansas City Monarchs, Leland Miller, who gave promise before his death of being one of the greatest stars of all times, and a brother of McAdoo, who is now with Cleveland and formerly with St. Louis. Booker T. To Play Bellville At Portsmouth League Park next Thursday, May 22, the Booker T. Washington High School team will cross bats with the Bellville Industrial School nine. In going up against the Bellville aggregation the High School team will have probably the touchest prop on its hands. However, both teams are said to be in tip-condition and a game of the professional class is promised. MOOREHOUSE BEATS TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE MOOREHOUSE BEATS TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE BY A. LOUIS IRVING Atlanta, Ga., May 10—Morehouse defeated Tuskegee 3-1 in one of the fastest games ever played on Morehouse's field. "Letty" Coleman was Coach Harvey's choice for mound duty and well did he vindicate his coach's judgment. He gave up six well scattered hits. Ashley his opponent, held Morehouse to four hits but allowed two of them to be bunched in the fourth inning. Williams began the game with Idlefield flushed out. Spikes doubled putting Williams on third. Rogers struck out but Hawkins came thru with a screaming triple to centerfield, scoring two runs. Another was scored in the sixth when Williams doubled, took third on a wild pitch and scored on Wolrige's error. Tuskegee scored their lone run in the eighth when they filled the bases with one down. Ashley scored on Gilbo's sacrifice hit. Ashley then hit to Rogers in who threw to Hawkins forcing out Boss. Tuskegee's entire infield played a snappy brand of baseball. Sykes was the batting star for Morehouse as he got batted on his teams four hits.

TANKINS THIRD IN BIG PRESS MEET Pittsburgh, Pa., May 15—Rufus Tankins, wearing the colors of the Edgar Thompson Steel Works, captured third place in the three-mile press meet here Saturday. Tankins ran the race under conditions very unfavorable considering Kries, Liese and other Penn men of acknowledged reputation, given 200-yard handicaps, Tankins was forced to accept a 50-yard handicap, Caughey running from scratch. Tankins missed beating on Liese by 1 inch for second place. Two weeks ago in the cross-country race, Earl Johnson won, Kries in fourth while Tankins finished seventh. Local fans, interested in the work of Tankins, are investigating the fact of just why a man who defeated another gets a 200-yard handicap, while the beaten man must accept a 50-yard handicap.

Norcom, of Portsmouth 8 to 5 in a loosely played game last Friday at League Park. This was the first game of the local at home. The game showed that Coach Wilson is working hard to iron out the kinks in his swatting machine. Games by both teams were responsible for many of the runs. Norcom put across five tallys that were not earned. Adams at shortstop for the visitors performed well. Williams, Boyd and Whitfield led, the local nine in batting. They were able to find the old pill for good wallops that were difficult to handle. OTHER GAMES ANNOUNCED The High School squad is booked to Huntington May 16, at Norfolk; Tidewater Inst., Saturday May 17, at Cape Charles; State Normal, of Elizabeth City, Wednesday May 18, at Norfolk; Huntington May 20, at Huntington Tuesday, May 2; Booker Washington, of Suffolk at Suffolk Friday, May 23. Take Second Game Booker" Washington High School handily defeated I. C. Norcom in a closely contested game in Ports- mouth, Wednesday. Boyd's opportu- nent hitting was the feature of the game. Johnson, moundsman for Washington fed the Portsmouth boys out of his hands. Norcom could connect with the old pill at times, but they were of no avail. This game was the second of the season with Norcom and both teams played a wonderful game.

CHILDREN 10c. 200 Main St. Stranded Woman And Small Children Placed In Home By Watchful Organization. Traveler's Aid, ever on the alert! rescues and protects women of given name, and her three children. She had been misled by a man traveling in same train who thought he knew her route and schedule, and offered his assistance. She had come from New Bern, N. C., going to Johnstown, Pa. She carried through ticket and trunk check, all properly routed and filled out, which had not been read or noticed by the woman, nor the would be guardian and friend until it was too lat. They had arrived on N. & S. train at 5:30 P. M. The man conducted the woman and children hurriedly to the N. Y. P. N. station, thinking sure he would go by this line, to sail at 8 P. M. He, himself was going to Philadelphia and thought all would be going in company the same way. Now the time came for them to go aboard, and as they went up and presented the woman's ticket to the purser, he upon examining the ticket informed the woman that she was not to go by N. Y. P. N. to Johnstown, but by the Old Bay Line and B. & O. which had left at 6:30. What a delimma she found herself to be in! What was she to do? in a strange city, among strangers. She soon found her way to Traveler's Aid desk where she found the worker waiting, watching for the troubles of others. She told her story to the worker who, as soon as the nature of the case was understood and necessary information was obtained, got busy on the line to get in touch with Executive Secretary to let her know that some one was in trouble. Instructions came at once to place woman and children in safe, comfortable home for lodging until the next sailing day of Old Bay Line, which would not be 'till the next two days. This disappointment added more to her disappointment, for she had thought to sail the next day. However, she consolled herself, being comfortably fixed, by sending her husband a telegram to send her another small sum of money, as she had a very little left, after some few expenses. To her surprise and disappointment again, she received a crude answer from her husband next day saying that he had no more money to send, that she had her ticket and there was nothing for her to do but get on the boat and come on; although she had made it plain that she had missed connection and was detained at Norfolk. The time passed—skiing day came. Her ticket and check had been validated by T. A. worker who called for her and children, conducted them on car to Old Bay Line, placed them on route on Steamer Maryland to Baltimore, thence by E. and O to Johnstown, with T. A. request card to captain of boat to see that she was sent through to her destination. Lunch had been prepared for her and children. She was allowed to keep the money she had for incidentals. Her board and lodging expenses would be paid by Travelers' Aid. She left feeling extremely thankful for the cordial treatment she had received in her distress at Norfolk. This incident is among others of similar and different kinds hands led during the month by the workers, showing the 'organization a worth while cause. Colored People of Texas Mean To Vote Galveston, Tex., May 15—(A, N. P.)—Negro voters of this city brought together by L. G. Robinson, Chuster Ferguson, L. B. Bush, J. A. Mirant and Frank Burton, have completed plans which are to be followed in the effort to make colored citizens a voting factor in the State. The voters who attended a preliminary meeting two weeks ago have met again and formed what is to be known as the "Voters' Full Value Club" of Galveston County. It is proposed to keep the membership open to men and women, regardless of political affiliation, to make active members of those who paid their poll tax and associate members of those who have not. An executive committee will direct the work of the organization in the county which is designed, in its program of education and activity to organize groups in each precinct in the city and county with men and women leaders to line up voters and prospective voters and to do anything necessary to persuade them to become effective voting citizens. In addition there are to be general standing committees, appointed on every matter of interest to the organization which will work with and coordinate the work of the precinct group. It is not intended that any Negro in Galveston county misses the right to exercise his citizenship if the Voters' Full Value Club can make them see the light. Portsmouth Composer Directing General Conference Choir Louisville, Ky., May 13—The General Conference of the A. M. E. Church in session here heard the superb rendition of the "Lord's Supper" oratorio in vocal score which was sung at the Jefferson County Armory last Friday night at 8 o'clock sharp for the first big entertainment of the conference at which over seven thousand people wore present long before the time set for opening. The oratorio is composed by Prof. Hiram Simmons, of Portsmouth, who has full charge of the musical end of the conference. He trained the large chorus of 150 select soloists and accompanied them himself at one of the full sized Baldwin Concert Grand Pianos, with Misses McRoberts and Nannie Board assistant companies. In the chorus work the rendition was almost perfect. Mr. Simmons says that nothing could have been added to it to bring out anything which would have given him more satisfaction. The large audience left the building with nothing but words of praise on their lips. The soloists were: Mrs. Eleanor Walls, soprano; Mrs. Cordelia Bowling, soprano; Mrs. Addie Duff, soprano; Mrs. Mayne Newrant, contralto; Miss Sallie Bowling, alto; Misses Jessie Hill, alto; Rev. L. H. Owens, leading tenor; Rev. C. E. Stewart, of Washington, D. C., tenor; Mr. W. C. Ganaway, tenor; Mr. D. H. Arist, baritone; Mr. G. A. Hampton basso; Mr. D. W. Barnett, bass. The General Conference choir under the direction of Prof. Simmons, spends most of the evenings featuring his anthem book "Soul Appealing." They also use compositions of many other composers. A large number of visiting star singers are in attendance and Prof. Simmons is trying to give each of them an opening. HEARD 'ROUND TOWN By A. WITT Two things are certain, taxes when you get property and rheumatism, when you get 50, is a depressing comment from J. O. Gilliam. There is similarity in the operation among wild creatures, thinks John Selden. The stork and the wolf usually work the same neighborhood. You tell 'em lumber; you've been through the mill. There is similar in the operation among wild creatures, thinks John Selden. The stork and the wolf usually work the same neighborhood. You tell 'em lumber; you've been through the mill. Money puts the prop in propaganda. I worked with safety in my mind. It's so with all my kin, And when but one day old, how not! The saying that there is honor among thieves is misleading—they are just as bad as other people. Willey A. Johnson, Jr., says that charity covers a multitude of sins, and so does lingerie. The reason why some folks always complain is because they read the patent medicine advertisements, thinks R. H. Tate. All men cannot be the best, but every man can be his best. The girls, thinks John Lewis, these days have little on underneath except sefflaw-gerie. A 100 per cent American, David Edwards, reckons, is one who goes around and sees that all his neighbors stand up when the "Star Spangled Banner" comes in over the radio. Lives of great men oft remind us We should in our work take care, Lest departing leave behind us, Thumb prints on the silver ware. TURN ABOUT Well, are you going to have a garden this year? No, you have a garden, it's my turn to keep chickens. A bone in the hand, says Bobby Dobbs is worth two in the head. Ever notice how, when people sit around and talk, they find so much to criticise, so little to commend? "Bill" Kemp says when you look for flaws you need not look for applause. Mr. Getter, of near Parsons, Kan, marketed $106 worth of eggs last week and Dr. Bowens wonders if his first name is Go. We have a good town, sure, it has some faults. But it is a much better town in all particulars than we realize. Cheer up! The biggest opportunities comes to those who make use of the small ones. A Virginia state town is crowing over the fact that the only empty building in town is the jail. If more of us could See ourselves as Others see us, we Would try to improve. Women may be slaves to fashion, but their burdens are light. The bird who said we only live once was certainly off. Lots of people lead double lives. It's a loansome world for the pawnbroker. Out of every one hundred chickens hatched fifty ordinarily die, says a chicken food ad. And eventually the other fifty die also adds Wiley A. Johnson. The decline in the price of soap is explained by the fact that fewer people are blowing bubbles.

From time to time substantial contributions have been made to Tuskegee, Wilberforce University, and Y. M. C. A.'s and churches in different parts of the country. They have also been strong supporters of the work of Bishop W. Sampson Brooks in West Africa and Max Yergen in South Africa. The Colored Orphans' Home of St. Louis was built by popular subscriptions secured very largely under the leadership of Mr. and Mrs. Malone. This gift of $25,000, shows that the Negro is developing rapidly along business lines, and that he is willing to hear his share of responsibility for the social and religious uplift of his own people. When it is remembered that a building for colored men and boys will result from the present campaign and that this will be the second Y. M. C.

Church Policy To Precipitate Hot Discussion (Continued from Page One) delegates, that the new ought to have equal representation with the pulpit as in other great methodist bodies is willing to accept at this time an increase of their present quota of two delegates to a district. Women have heretofore had no part in the conference but the question of woman suffrage is considered by leading figures from various districts as being fundamentally sound and its acceptance is forecast with certain limitations. Better schools and the standardization of the connectional, educational institutions, with a slogan of "fewer schools if necessary but greater efficiency, higher standards and sufficient endowment to do creditable work, is another issue much discussed. Those items in the legislative program are to the fore, while a number of minor measures, such as the raising of bishops' salaries, etc., are receiving their share of attention. BISHOPS TO BE ELECTED Election of bishops and general officers will start on Tuesday. While but two vacancies actually exist, one by death and one thus the retirement of Bishop Lee, evidence of extreme feebleness on the part of several occupants of the bench make it likely in the opinion of those usually well-informed that three or four aspirants will be elevated to the rank of bishop. Few political conventions have witnessed a greater variety of candidates and methods used in many instances have had a regular political aspect.

MONEY TO LOAN "favorite some" and astute looking gentlemen are button-holing delegates and whispering important information and opinion into their ears. Caucuses are being held everywhere behind closed doors. It is said that never before have there been so many men casting their eyes upon the ermine of the bishops' bench. On the whole, they are an able group, although it is agreed that many of the candidates who hope the lightning will strike their outstretched rods are not deterred by their rather evident lack of preparation and ability. Some of them go on the theory, it is said, that even though they have no chance of election, it won't hurt their prestige back home to have been mentioned as a candidate for an important office. The connection offices have likewise brought out a galaxy of fine candidates. For financial secretary, John R. Hawkins of Washington, watchdog of the treasury, has no opposition for re-election. His report distributed and presented with machine-like precision was interrupted by a demonstration. For secretary of Missions, a lively contest is being waged between Rev. Noah Williams, pastor of Quinn Chapel, Louisville, whose handling of the entertainment of the conference has won much comment. Rev. M. C. Wright, pastor of Ebenzeen Church, Detroit, who in the automobile city with its colored population doubling and tripling has led Methodism in caring for the migrants and doing of social work in a compelling manner, and Dr. C. W. Abington, St. James Temple, Dallas, Texas, a pulpitite and community builder of the first rank. His friends in pointing to his qualifications call him "the business pastor." R. R.

He spent a gicat part of his time on the river fishing. In the pro- per. seasons he would round up his dogs and hunt coons and ‘possums. Father declared that he was 2 Jia- bility to the community.

These conditions gave my, father ‘the opportunity to destroy the little lelannish friendship ‘that had just jsprung up between me and the Dar, Tow children. So soon as I finished the local school, I was shipped to ‘a distant metropolis to enter the high school there, I met many charming young people, and re- ceived the flattering attentions of ‘handsome, well-dressed young men who knew how to be pleasant and sociable, but their charm of man- ner did not effect me greatly, My first summer vacation 1 was, not [permitted 10 return to Bradshaw.

There- fore I was a sort of heroine, “Byerybedy thought that I would straightway snub Floyd and Maisie fas I was looked, upon as an edu- cated young wothan, I’had polish and poise. Therefore, it was pro: per for me to look higher than out like Flosd, But somhow I could not shunt him aside on those grounds, { hated my friends for even intimating such a thing, J had known Floyd so long. He had been like a brother to me, It was impossible for me ta snub him ‘merely because my friends con- sidered him below my. social level. "My father was plainly disgust.

On the day that I left I said good-bye to Floyd and assured him that there would never be a change in my attitude toward him. Father did not let me return home again until after I graduated, Then it was to be for a short while, He intended to ea me North to college. “T was in my seventeenth year !now and my friends said that I was the prettiest. girl in the village.

He was so big and strong virible and unfraid, He had the courage to fight for the thinga that others would deny him. He had the courage to stand on his own.

When Negro labor was rush- ed in to fill the enormous gap in America’s war lubor short- age, American employers did not have sufficient amount of good faith to accord this labor the full benefits and privileges of the lessons: that had been learned in America’s industrial history. ‘The training of ap- prentices has been one of the fundamental principles of in- dnustrial needs. ‘The Negro apprentice, though has been a rarity. He hag been denied an entrance into the trade schools of industrial experience. Em- ployers have preferred to hold him within the limits of the unskilled class, And now that restricted immigration and child labor restrictions are hovering over the heads of American employers, they are sounding the doleful ery of shortage.

It may be. Not having the information of what eapacity or capacities he has served: in over this half century nor what disposi- ‘tion he planned to make of his re- ‘maining years, this reviewer had about concluded that his was at least a good example. Later, in another paper this, in- formation was supplied. No design- ‘ation of the positions he had occu- ‘pied was given, but a picture of a flat-car loaded with giant oak logs and the old servant standing by pinning or underpinning a, wedge in uprights to hold the logs in place told the story. He received his medal with a. profusion of smiles and went back to work; in hig own werds, to provide for children 2 his cwn, still quite young. | -"hree-score and ten years of age with fifty years service with one company to his record, still he must Tabor to support himself and his young. Has his wage never heen sufficient to enable him to store up of the world’s goods against the pre- sent day, or has he been extra- / Yagang and improvident? These are thoughts for reflection. If the former is true, and the history of capital and labor for decades prior to the last two Tends color to its truism, it presents a sad commentary p- on society as present constitut- ed. If the latter is true, indeed, the old man’s life should he held up to younger men ax an example not to follow. Long and faithful service is cer- tainly creditable, but there is al- ways the question of it being, ex: empiary, Opportunities neglected or denied, ability to earn enough to save against inevitable oll age aro factors that cannot safely be lefs out of the equation. ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS Congress hopes to adjourn be- fore the opening of the first of the national political conventions five weeks hence, “That is a consumma- tion devoutediy to be wished.” There are two congresses which are always fraught with the danger of failing to interpret or of dis regarding the popular will. They are the sessions of a presidential elec- tion year and a lame duek congress. Political exigencies are* almost sure to dominate the actions of the former and clogged up dead wood--- repudiated members—impair the usefulness of the latter. The pre- sent congress has but little, if any, constructive legislation to its eredit. The tax reduction bill is still in the throes of uncertainty. It bears un- mistakably the marks of political expediency. In_its formulative stages by a coalit’on of insurgent Republicans and Democrats it was shuffled cf all semblanee of the Mellon plan which had the endose- ment of the administration. How- ever, it may be a good measure, at least better than none with similar purpose.

N. S.)—The nation is to have a new movement; one calculated to eliminate waste of time; to economize effort and to direct and assist the youth of the race in choosing and following the right vocation in life. Such is the "Guide Best Movement initiated the Kappa Alpha Psi, national Greek Letter fraternity, to chapels and members of all leading universities and colleges through the country. The birth-place of the movement is St. Isaius, Mo. where it has been successfully tried by the Greek Letter men in that city. Since its adoption last Christmas at the confluence of these college men at Louisville, Ky, plans and programs have been arranged by the guide right commission, headed by Dr. Jesse J. Peters, of St. Louise, father of the Guide Right idea. According to L. W. Stewart, member of St. Louis "V" and secretary of the commission, the movement primarily seeks to take the high school students of the nation and guide them right. "Find Thyself Idea" Find Haysen answer. The first step to be taken by the movement will be to help the youth find themselves. Heretofore trial and error methods caused a great deal of loss of time and resulted in a misdirected effort. Says Dr. Peters, youth have gone into professions and studied them without ever stopping to study the most important of all, and that is the qualities, characteristics and shortcomings of himself and the consequent relation of those to the success of vocation chosen. A questionnarie, called the "self-Analysis Blank" prepared by this commission is designed to show characteristics, traits, interest and ambitions of those looking forward to a useful and successful career, as well as indicating the education and training necessary to attain this end. (3) Have you any habits which you feel might keep you from the largest success? (3) Would you welcome suggestions about avoiding or overcoming certain habits or temptations? After a vocation has been decided upon the Greek Letter men purpose to place each youth in a personal contact with those who have succeeded so that he can be helped and guided right. In the United States great numbers of educated Nephyses have drifted into hotels, beacons, the Pullman and kindred services. The Guide Right Movement seeks to lessen this bane on Negro education. National Program, May 18-24 The week of May 18 to 24 will be observed as Guide Right Week with special services, simultaneous throughout the United States where members and chapters of the Kappa Alpha Pi fraternity are affiliated with four regional conventions held in every section of the country. The fraternity has been assured the support of the press in its constructive program. WINFALL Winfall, N. C.—Rev. R. C. Council filled his pulpit at Popular Rum A. M. E.

This is said to be the only Greek letter Negra fraternity to own a home in the South. WHEN RICHARD II DINED Spoons and Fingers Were Good Manners and Carving Was New Fangted. English in the Canterbury days a much in the French style. Spoons and fingers were good manners and carving was new fangted, was in fact practiced to any artform. Richard II and the duke of Lancaster once dined in London with the bishop of Durham. The king the duke and the bishop and their retinues and guests called for 120 sheep, 14 salted oxen and 2 fresh ones, 1,240 pigs, 12 boats, 216 gese, 720 hens, 50 capons to grizee and 8 dozen other cows 50 swans and 100 dozen rabbits and eggs 12 gallons of cream and 120 gallons of milk. Such was a royal feast, and every day, whether fast day or eating day, had four meals. Breakfast at seven, dinner at ten in the morning, supper at four and livery at eight at night. The hour of dinner is said to show the development of cooking in any given country. But there are other reasons, nevertheless, aside from dishes of flowers; permissible foods initiating the form of meats on fast days, even eggs being comefetled, and clever things such as making two capsons out of one by skinning it and stuffing the skin. There were, besides, the points of etiquette: A pig for a lord should be endowed, his cabbage thickened, his meat sliced, his curried mole to a lord, but cut for the commonality. And mint sauce has a pedigree reaching to Edward I.—Kansas City Star. ANESTHETIC USED 220 A. D. Chinese Remedy Known as Ma Yao Was Extracted From India Hemp Century Ago. An anesthetic the effects of which was like those of ether or chloroform, was used in China in 220 A. D. by the surgeon Haou-tou. This is established beyond the long, which was brought to the attention of the Academy of Sciences in 1849 by Stanislas Julien. The Chinese anesthetic, known as ma yao—that is to say, "the remedy which takes away feeling," was extracted from Indian hemp, which also yields hasheshe. The old Chinese medicine us- forgetting a dose of ma yao to the patient, a few minutes later became unconscious— that is, as though he were deprived of life. As the case demanded, Haou-tou would operate upon the person or amputate and remove the cause of stickness. Then he would draw the tissues together and introduce the point of incision and apply hectures. "After a few days the sick man was on his feet again without having felt the least pain during the operation."—North China Herald. He'd Say He Was A man, traveling in a train that had made several abrupt stops and sudden jerks, became a bit anxious. There had been numerous accidents on the line of late, so he had been told, and there was cause for fear. Calling the porter aside, he said, George, is this train safe? "Sate as any, sul." "Is there a block system on the road?" George's grin extended from ear to ear. "Block system, sul? Why, boss, we has the greatest block system if de world. Ten miles back we was blocked by a load of hay, six miles back we was blocked by a mule, just now we was blocked by a cow, and I reckon when we gets an alligator, we'll be blocked an alligator. Block system, sul? Well, I'll say it is!"—Country Gentleman. Forget Part of Her The 'housewife was husily engaged with the family washing one Monday morning when she saw the rent collector coming up the path to the door. She instructed her little son to answer the bell and tell the visitor that she had gone out on an errand. Since the room offered no better hiding place, she crouched behind a clotheshorse, on which the clothes were hanging to dry. The boy opened the door and told the tale, according to his mother's instructions. When he had finished the tale, a sharp glance to the screen of drying clothes and remarked: "Well, my dad, just tell your mother I called, and you might tell her that next time she goes down the street she would do better to take her feet with her." Nothing Doing. A school teacher had found her class of boys reluctant in their writings of English compositions. At last she conceived a great idea to stimulate their interest—to write an account of a ball game. It seemed that she was successful. With one exception, the boys new numbered the task and evolved youthful successes. The backward one, chewed repeatedly on his pen, was then struck by a burst of genius. When the teacher opened his paper, it read: "Rain—no game." Taking the Chance Father--Didn't I tell you not to let me catch you looting them again? Little Willie--Yes, sir. Father—Then why did you do that? Little Willie—Because I didn't think that you would catch me. Caution. "Well, dearest," he said, "I shall call to see your father about it, at eight tonight; shall I?" "Gerald, love," she said, "tinorously, better make it 9:30. He'll digested his dinner by then and will have his carpet slippers on." Piedmont New Chapel Dedicated Burkville, Va.—The new chapel of the Fiedmont Sanatium was dedicated April 27 with appropriate excerises, participated in by ex-patients and executives of the health and members of the staff. The structure is the result of uniting efforts of the patients and friends of the institution towards raising the required amount of money to erect such a building. To the late John A. Emerson, former patient and employee of the sanatorium, is due the credit of having first conceived the idea of erecting such a chapel. With the personal assistance of Mr. Charles H. Brutner, of Catawba Sanatorium, and chapels, clabs, and other individual nids, the chapel now holds dedicated, and well-built Piedmont Piedmont, and those who will follow on in years to come. Quite a wonderful program was arranged by the Piedmont Welfare Board, Rev. A. T. Overby, chairman, and all present enjoyed each address and each musical jammer. The following program was rendered: Opening selection, first quartette of Hampton Institute scripture lesson, Rev. C. E. Robinson, Burkville, Va. opening prayer, Rev. D. J.

Bedtime Stories The Linda Name Stories The Lincoln News Service "THE CORPORATION" After waking up from several short maps, I concluded that I might sleep better if I had a brief session with a little cigar. Accordingly, I donned my clothes and made my way to the smoker, which had been vacated by the weary passengers. Seated in the corner, however, was the porter, who greeted me with a cherry "How-zedo" as I set about to induce an artificial desire for sleep. "Well, George," I said, after a few fragrant puffs, "It's pretty soft for you tonight. I guess. At least, you can rest up from now until six, m, can't you? "Not on your life," the porter replied, "you've definitely sharpened 3 of four puffs." "But everybody's gone to bed, now!" I insisted, "and you won't have many holds to answer until morning." "Yeah, but that doesn't help me any," the potter responded, as he opened a small handbag and drew forth a dozen account books, which were quickly followed by two bank books and some small bank en- Free!

"You see," the porter added, with a look of pride, "The Board of Directors meets tomorrow night, and I have to make my report to the corporation." "What corporation?" I inquired, as I dropped my cigar in surprise. "The Enterprise Corporation," he replied, looking as though he felt hurt. "Why should you have to make any repect to a corporation? You work for the Pullman Company, don't you?" "Sure, but I'm also President and Treasurer of the Enterprise Corporation," the porter replied, as he scooped a handful of change from the hind hand and began to count it. "You see," he said, after making an entry in a book named "cash," "Last year, after the Old Gent died, all of us, my wife, daughter and son, realized that we need not make it upon what I am able to make on this run so; we took dad's insurance money and started a little lunch-room, bookback and newspaper business. We got a lawyer to come up and we formed a closed corporation. My wife and daughter run the lunch-room and my son runs the shoe shinning and newspaper business. You'd hardly believe it" continued the warm-up this story, but the very first year we cleared up all the inventory and banked $1200, and I never lost a day from the road. As it is now" he added, with enthusiasm, "Tom will be able to go to business school this fall and Mary can take up her millinery course and it's mighty important that I have these shoes straight tomorrow night, because we may take up the question of moving to larger quarters." As I settled back upon the cushion, leaving the poster to his books and bag, I smiled inwardly at the ambition of the happy fellow, and wandered if I could make any suggestion which might be helpful to hint and the absent members of the Enterprise Corporation. In response to my mental efforts a happy thought came. "Say George," I said, as he busily worked with pencil and paper. "The thing for you to do is to quit the road and put your whole time in on promoting the corporation." "Can't do that," he answered quickly, because the charter strictly provides that 'until the net re- THOUSANDS KILLED Statistics show that thousands of people are killed every year from Rheumatism and other diseases arising from impurities of the blood.

The title to the name of Al Raschid the Just is sullied by his extirpation of the generous, perhaps the innocent, Berniecides. Yet he could listen to the complaint of a poor widow who had been pillaged by his troops, who dared from a passage in the Koran, to threaten the inattentive despot with the judgment of God and posterity. Al Barchid was the third sultan of the line of Ambasciate. He was a contemporary of. Charlemagne, to whom he sent an embassy with a present of a famous clock, which when put in motion by means of a clepsydra, pointed out the hours, struck them by dropping balls on a bell or ornament, and caused little-doors to open, and a number of knights on horseback to come out as corresponded with the hours. He was the last of the caliphs who made pilgrimage to Mecca, and he visited the prophet's shrine eight different times. He reigned D 780 to 805. The meaning of the word caliph is "successor or vicar," indicating the cultus of the sultan to be the successor of Mohammed, and hence in a more exalted sense the vicar of God.

I didn't kill Wright, What would I want to kill Wright for? He was my best friend, and if I happened to be calling at his house that night he was murdered, that was on a business matter. "What matter? Why, I owed him a thousand dollars, and he was pressing me for money, and he meant to kill him. Wright but I certainly didn't kill him. I'm not a murderer. "Why did I buy that pistol? To protect myself against burglars. The bullet that was discharged? Why, I killed Wright's dog with it." "Wright kept a hound, a great brute of a creature--you know that hound, Sergent? Well, that night it cand rushing at me, and my nerves are so unstrung I just fret and killed it. "What did I do with the body? Why--that's the point, Sergent. I knocks the door and blows the bell. Of course I had no means of knowing he'd been killed by a burglar, had it. And so I thought he was away. Then I looked at the body of the hound. "It made me feel queer all over, to see the great brute lying there, and I began thinking how wild Wright would be about it, and how I lost all hope of his letting up on that thousand pounds. And so carried the great brute out the shoulders. The street was dark, and I didn't meet any body. "That's how I got those bloodstains on my coat and collar. The creature must have bled a great deal. Human blood? Oh, no, Sergeant. Well, the fact is, it wasn't quite dead when I picked it up, and I was necking it. Not badly, but still it bled some. The mark? Why, I guess it's healed up by now. You see, that was three days ago, and my wounds heal quickly. "Anything else, Sergeant? Oh, yes, what did I do with the dog? I buried the body at the house of my fields. I'd take you there, only I did it in the dark, and can't remember where it was. You'll find the animal's body there. But, of course, all this has nothing to do with Wright, and you can't prove anything on me. I didn't see him on the day he was murdered. "The pistol is the same caliber as my pistol? Nothing surprising in that. Most of those pistols are made of steel. But they'll that'll be all, Sergeant. And now I may, mayn't I? A few more questions? Certainly. "Why was I found digging at the bottom of my field last night? Why, I was kind of worried about that dog.

And last night, too. So I thought I burnt the body. But I couldn't find it. I forgot where I'd buried it. I told you that. "You've got something to show me before I go? By all means, Sergeant. I've told you a straight story, and I guess you're satisfied, but I don't know more. I did shoot Wright's dog, and buried it, and it came yowling and bothering me in the night, but I didn't shoot Wright. Don't know anything about it. This way? Certainly, Sergeant. In this room? Why? There's Wright in the flesh!" The detectives looked hard to see whether the man was shaming. But he was polling enthusiastically at the chase. Did Wright's dog go which snarled at him from its corner. "There's Wright!" he cried trumpetly. "You needn't curse at me, old man. You're living, and I don't care. You don't murder you, nor anybody else. You'll let me go, Sergent? Oh, something else to show me? Certainly. But you see now Wright. I couldn't have—in Why? —Why?" "Don't let him loose! He'll bite me!" he shrieked in terror. "Yes, I shot him—the dog, the dog, the dog, and he won't give me any peace." © 1921, Western Newspaper Union Followed Instructions. Muggins presented a most peculiar spectacle. He was really quite a thin, small man, but on this particular morning he looked bulky, to say the least of it. The neighbors were surprised. Jenkins on his way to the station, paused in astonishment as he Muggins emerge from his house. "Hello!" he said. "You look well wrapped up. Where are you going? To the North pole?" "No," was the reply. "I'm going to paint the front door." But why are you wearing all those coats? He still says on the paint tin" recorded Muggins.

Tremendous Rainfall The astonishing effects sometimes produced by cloudbursts are well known, but not many trustworthy records of the depth of the rainfall during such occurrences exist. The most common instance, possesses much more. On August 6, during a thunderstorm in the Fiji Islands, the measured depth of the rainfall in a gauge elevated twenty-five feet above the ground was 3 feet and 1 inch. The rain continued thirteen hours, and owing to unmeasured overland flow, but it is estimated to have been not less than forty-one inches. LOCATES FIRES ON SHIPS Smoke Detector, Invented by Britton, Used to Find Flames Before They Become Dangerous. An ingenious device for detecting and locating fires on ships at sea is embodied in the Rich smoke detector, an English Invention. Pipes, communicating with all parts of the vessel, are led into a glass-indosed chamber in which a vacuum pump is constantly at work, thus drawing air from every part, reached by the pipes. Should the smoke is drawn into the chamber, a beam of light crosses above the pipes, against which the smoke is plainly visible. The pipes are numbered, so that the observer knows instantly where the fire is by noting from which pipe the smoke emerges. Below the vacuum chamber is a system of levers which control three-way flow; each lever controls the feeding corresponding to the numbering of the pipes. By pulling a lever steam is forced into the part which is burning, effectively quenching the blaze before it reaches dangerous proportions. When ships are heavily loaded it is often difficult to get at a fire, and frequently the funnels get uncovered. With the discovery. With, the use of the Rich detector a blaze can be put out literally before it starts.—Kansas City Star. Cautious Horse Harris prided himself on a thorough knowledge of horses and their habits and so he was- interested when, on a visit to the country, he found some trouble with his mount. It would start, amble along slowly- for a short distance and then stop. Then the farmer would have great difficulty in getting it started again. Finally Harris approached the farmer and asked kindly, "Is your horse sick?" "Not as I know of." was the short reply. "Is he balky?" "No. But he's so afraid I'll say 'When' and he'll clear me that 'and' every once in a while 'to listen.' Kansas City Times. Ideal Shattered Movies were very real to tender-hearted Mrs. Toodles.

Entered as Second Class Mutter at the Post Office at Norfolk, Va. An analysis of the primary election returns indicates that the "Migrant" has been taught how to place the little cross mark on his ballot. We judge by his drastic criticism of the lack of accomplishment of value by Prof. Kelly Miller and the Sanhedrin Conference that Prof. DuBois does not contemplate joining the Sanhedrin and becoming a part thereof. Mrs. Gerge S. Williams, of Savannah, who has been made a member of the Republican National Committee for Georgia, is not only a great worker in politics and race uplift work but the picture of her printed in the Sunday edition of the New York World makes her look like a very pretty woman who could be white if she were not colored. Dr. Raymond Pearl of John Hopkins University, in a prepared statement after the manner of insurance tables, read to the concluding sessions of the National Academy of Sciences, says that "steady drinkers have a better expectation of life at all ages after thirty on to the end of the life span than do total abstainers, while heavy drinkers have the poorest expectation of life at all ages after thirty in the case of females and at all ages after thirty in the case of males up to sixty-five years. From sixty-five on the heavy drinking males and the total abstaining males have about the same expectations." Of course those who drink enough of the liquors now obtainable, and which contain certain poisons, have the most uncertain expectation of life figureable, but Dr. Pearl does not say so. The National Democratic party is so thoroughly demoralized that it does not know whether it is going or coming. It has failed to make any impressionable issue out of the oil scandals, and it has no candidate of Presidential timber that there is any agreement about. Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, is one of the biggest and safest men spoken of, but the call for his nomination has not become at all clamorous. Mr. McAdoo has the most delegates now, but Governor Smith of New York, is a formidable come-on, with a Catholic handicap which makes him unacceptable to the Klan sentiment of the South, and Senator Underwood of Alabama, is down on the Klan and the Klan is up on him, so that whichever wins the wrestle a bad taste in the mouth will be left. Meanwhile President Coolidge has run away with the Republican nomination. Drawing Interest In Human Character The magnificent gift of $25,000 just made by Mr. and Mrs. Auron Malone to the $3,000, 000 building campaign of the St. Louis Y. M. C. A., besides contributing immensely to the success of the endeavor, gives added stimulus to the gradually increasing tendency among the more favored few of our race to regard their philanthropic responsibilities toward the masses. The heads of the Poro College have been consistent donors to race uplift enterprises. Only recently they gave $10,000 to Howard University Medical School endowment fund, Churches, Y. M. C. A's, Wilberforce University, Tuskegee Institute and the missionary work in West and South Africa have come within their beneficence. It would be impossible to compute the value of their splendid donations to race philanthropy, but equal to and probably greater than the immediate benefits from these gifts is the example they have set; the lesson they are laying down to others of the race who aspire to material success. Mrs. Malone has said that she did not regard their money as belonging to hersif and husband, but belonging to God, and that instead of seeing it draw interest in the bank they much preferred to have it draw interest in human character. With persons possessing wealth it requires more than ordinary altruism to look at it in this way. If there is any certification in acquiring riches, it is to be found in the devoting of them to the enrichment of human character; the reclamation of human values, thus glorifying the Creator and Giver of all wealth. Mr. and Mrs. Malone have built a wonderful business enterprise, and from its profits they are building men and women. Here is true greatness. As a race we have produced but few families of wealth, but among those few the spirit of philanthropy has not been altogether lacking. The Madam C. J. Walker signed her name to many large checks as gifts to race uplift. Then there are others whose donations, alho not so large, are nevertheless given in the same spirit. The many gifts of sums ranged in three and four figures to the various campaigns now in progress are all evidence of a spirit to carry the philanthropic burdens of the race by its own members. Editorial Page of The Marvelous Wealth of the Nation While the Nations of Europe are struggling with such a load of poverty as they have never before experienced, as the outcome of the World War and the unsettled condition of credits and production of food and manufactured things, the United States is enjoying such prosperity as to be considered phenomenal. The growth of the banking and insurance and mercantile business of our group has been so considerable during the past twenty four years, or coincident with the perfecting of the organization of the National Negro Business League, at Boston in 1900, as not only to be gratifying but to give the thoughtful a living interest in the question of wealth of all sorts, whether of saving or investment wealth. The business condition of the Nation makes a direct appeal to us, as it does to other groups, not only as wage earners and consumers but as capitalists, those who control and regulate production and consumption. In 1900 the status of the race was simply that of wage earners and consumers, with no financial status worth considering. Now all of that has been radically changed. A small percent of the vast earnings of the race is not finding its way into our banks, insurance companies, real estate investments, and the like with a gradual business development in the control as well as the production of wealth. The difference is measured by the distinction between the capitalist and that of the beggar. Considering this fact and the part we have in it, that the Metals National Bank of New York finds that the gross income of the American people is $200,000 a day, while the daily savings of this are approximately one sixth, or more than $30,000,000. The total income of the country for 1923 is given as $70,000,000,000, while the total savings are placed at $12,000,000,000. The bank statement says that "no Nation ever before ever showed anything like this addition to wealth in a period of twelve months. Again: "Great sums are constantly available for the promotion of industry or for the expansion of the National equipment, and with American ability, equipment, ingenuity and ambition supplying the motive power there would seem to be ahead a continuance of development and growth." It is strictly up to our group to better its status in this "continuance of development and growth," for our own benefit and the good of the Nation. Virginia Planter To Raise More Cotton It will interest the readers of THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE to know that many Virginia planters are planning to devote less acreage to tobacco and more to cotton culture, and on that account a New York authority says that while the army of tobacco users is steadily on the increase, there may not be as much tobacco for them in the immediate future as this time. However this may be the average smoker will readily protest that tobacco was never higher in price and more inferior in quality than now; if so his memory runs not to the contrary. The story goes that some Virginia planters have been flirting with cotton culture and find it profitable, in the present condition of the cotton yield and prices, which the holl weevil migration and other causes have brought about, and which threaten to dethrone cotton as King, the plan being to set aside some ten per cent less acreage in tobacco. The tobacco crop in Virginia last year was produced on 190,000 acres, with a cash value of $30,000,000, although prices were not quite so high as in 1922, the quality being a bit inferior. Last year the country manufactured and retained tobacco of the value of $1,600,000,000 the Government tax on which yielded $350,000,000. This is a vast sum to send up in smoke and down in expectation, but it appears that many people must have some sort of dope. The tendency towards small farms and the raising of foodstuffs for home consumption should be on the increase in all of the Southern States, especially among those of our farming group. While the Nations of Europe are struggling with such a load of poverty as they have never before experienced, as the outcome of the World War and the unsettled condition of credits and production of food and manufactured things, the United States is enjoying such prosperity as to be considered phenomenal. The growth of the banking and insurance and mercantile business of our group has been so considerable during the past twenty-four years, or coincident with the perfecting of the organization of the National Negro Business League, at Boston in 1900, as not only to be gratifying but to give the thoughtful a living interest in the question of wealth of all sorts, whether of saving or investment wealth. The business condition of the Nation makes a direct appeal to us, as it does to other groups, not only as wage earners and consumers but as capitalists, those who control and regulate production and consumption. In 1900 the status of the race was simply that of wage earners and consumers, with no financial status worth considering. Now all of that has been radically changed. A small percent of the vast earnings of the race is now finding its way into our banks, insurance companies, real estate investments, and the like, with a gradual business development in which we buy and sell among ourselves, with the savings in our banks and insurance companies available for development purposes.' This will grow to be so in a larger measure as the years come and go, and the general status of the race is bound to be better in every way as we grow in wealth with which to capitalize our business enterprises, to buy homes and extend our real estate holdings, and to enlarge our savings in the banks and insurance companies for development purposes. Our group is fast emerging from the pauper wage earning class of the citizenship, in which there was no respectable consideration of us except as a producing and consuming group, into one of reasonable independence in the control as well as the production of wealth. The difference is measured by the distinction between the capitalist and that of the beggar. Considering this fact and the part we have in it, that the Metals National Bank of New York finds that the gross income of the American people is $200,000,000 a day, while the daily savings of this are approximately one-sixth, or more than $30,000,000. The total income of the country for 1923 is given at $70,000,000,000, while the total savings are placed at $12,000,000,000. The bank statement says that "no Nation ever before ever showed anything like this addition to wealth in a period of twelve months." Again: "Great sums are constantly becoming available for the promotion of industry or for the expansion of the National equipment, and with American ability, equipment, ingenuity and ambition supplying the motive power, there would seem to be ahead a continuance of development and growth." It is strictly up to our group to better its status in this "continuance of development and growth," for our own benefit and the good of the Nation. Virginia Planter To Raise More Cotton It will interest the readers of THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE to know that many Virginia planters are planning to devote less acreage to tobacco and more to cotton culture, and on that account a New York authority says that, while the army of tobacco users is steadily on the increase, there may not be as much tobacco for them in the immediate future as at this time. However this may be the average smoker will readily protest that tobacco was never higher in price and more inferior in quality than now; if so his memory runs not to the contrary. The story goes that some Virginia planters have been flirting with cotton culture and find it profitable, in the present condition of the cotton yield and prices, which the boll weevil, migration and other causes have brought about, and which threaten to dethrone cotton as King, the plan being to set aside some ten per cent less acreage in tobacco. The tobacco crop in Virginia last year was produced on 190,000 acres, with a cash value of $30,000,000, although prices were not quite so high as in 1922, the quality being a bit inferior. Last year the country manufactured and retailed tobacco of the value of $1,600,000,000, the Government tax on which yielded $350,-000,000. This is a vast sum to send up in smoke and down in expectoration, but it appears that many people must have some sort of done. The tendency towards small farms and the raising of foodstuffs for home consumption should be on the increase in all of the Southern States, especially among those of our farming group. Lengthen The School Terms In The Rural Districts The zeal for more education for their children has inspired members of parent-teacher leagues in several rural sections to lengthen the school terms from five and six to seven and eight months by private subscriptions.

Hearing on the Foster Bill (H. R. 3228) "to create a Negro Industrial Commission" are being held by the House Judiciary Committee, and the usual intra-criminal nexus, where colorful matters are involved, has made its appearance. A bi-partisan puzzle is the result, in that proponents of the bill are, of course, those who are visualizing the title of "Mister Commissioner" addressed to them as they gracefully revolve in a frictionless swivel chair to the financial tune of $5,000 per annum; while opponents of the measure are those who dislike any special divisions in the administration of governmental affairs for Negroes, Chinese Italians, Germans, or any other racial group. As was said by Mrs. Mossell Griffin, of Philadelphia, Chairman of the Legislative Department of the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, "all we need is the full, non-discriminatory administration of those provisions and agencies which have already been created for all the people. If we are given our full share of them, we shall be satisfied. We don't need and special designation for Negro matters or relief." It is said that another delegation of opponents has protested at the White House along the same line of argument. On the other hand, it is well known that several ambitious "commissioners" who failed to receive commissions when the Mason Bill, the Spencer Bill, and the Industrial Commission Bill of Col. Giles B. Jaskson expired in the Congressional Committee rooms are strivine to "land" berths which will at least keep the wolf at a safe distance for several years to come. These "gold-hunters" are not dismayed by the sturdy light of Mrs. Griffin and her organization, and are insistent upon seeing that "our group" has additional representation in the affairs of Government. One thing, however, is as plain as the noon-day sun, in connection with the Foster Bill, and that is that the "brethren" are, as usual, hopelessly divided. And when this truth becomes keenly discernable to "de white folks" they will probably do as they have always done in such crucial situations, and that is, play "hands off" everywhere, by leaving the bill on a deadbed and by leaving the hopes of its proponents in their present dormant state. Or else they may place the whole proposition in the political pool and let some peaceful politician "fish" for it. In any case, Grey was right when he said: "Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown; the paths of glory lead but to the grave." (Effects of Negro Migration I.

P.) 110. What happened in 1800 while Harriet Tubman was visiting in Troy, N. Y? While on her way to attend a large anti-slavery conclave in Boston, Harriet Tubman carried through an incredibly daring singlehanded fight against the U. S. authorities. She had stopped to visit a cousin in Troy, N. Y. and while there learned that a fugitive slave named Charles Nalle had been followed by his master. The latter, much to Harriet's surprise, was Nalle's own brother, and as dark as himself. The slave was already in the hands of the officers and had been remanded back to Virginia. Harriet raised it; mob which created a turmoil before the officers of the U. S. District Commissioner and during this turmoil, she suddenly seized the fugitive and disappeared. 111. What victory ended the war of 1812? The native Louisiana Zouaves led the charge against the ramparts of Chalmette under Gen. Jackson at New Orleans in 1812, defeating Lord Packeohan, commander of the British forces. The victory ended the war and destroyed the last British contention of right to search and seize American merchants on the high seas. 112. Who commanded the aerial defense of Paris during the Great War. Colonel Martenel, a French Negro was the commander of the aerial defenses of Paris, when the Germans were bearing down upon the Capital in 1914. Although French Negroes who attained high rank in the second Empire and Third Republic and who 3. Colorettes gration has undoubtedly stimulated the exercising of this authority in the southern states. This is evidenced by new steps which have been taken to improve the health and housing conditions of the remaining Negroes. These activities have taken on new life in a number of prominent southern cities, and interracial committees are constantly in conference upon these topics, for, within its heart, the South would not have its Negro population leave. It has been and still is its greatest labor asset. Calamitous to southern representation in Congress is the fact that Negroes who are denied the voting privilege in the South may, after conforming to the requirements of northern voting regulations, go fearlessly to the polls and use the ballot. If this feature becomes marked enough within the next ten years, it will undoubtedly result in a reduced representation of southern legislators. Whether or not this might induce the Democratic party to attempt to make some political reforms is an open question. In the social treatment and education of migrants, there are frequent tendencies to invoke some of the social customs of the South. These tendencies are advocated principally by sincere race people who are thoroughly saturated with southern customs of a harmful ilk and who, unfortunately, are loth to abandon them and grasp, in their stead, the true spirit of northern freedom. Although their intentions are good, it is regrettable that they do not invoke the full measure of virtue of a greater freedom, abhorring segregation and not asking for "special consideration for their brethren; but rather, enforcing the considerations already available and presuming that they are for the benefit of all people. The over-indulgence in reversionary memories and practices of southern territories has undoubtedly been one of the indirect causes of intercultural misunderstandings in the North, which have, on several occasions, resulted in riots; for there has come about a wide gap in the creed of the native colored northerners, the former of whom have hopes to live as they have always lived, but who have felt the back-fire of an attitude which antagonists of the "brethren" quickly welcome, no matter where they are located. Sheer shortage of labor gave the colored worker his admission through the gate of northern industry, and with restricted immigration the style of the industrial day, his status is fairly secure. A better type of industrial instruction, guidance, and opportunity to secure apprenticeships will make him an absolutely permanent component of the northern labor group. Organization has promised him a square deal, and the burden is about an even proposition between him and northern employers to see that his days are unnumbered as a producer, and that as an American, he partakes of all the benefits his labor merits. brought high honor to France are: Generals Youssof and Virgile, both directors of artillery of the War School and the Senegalese, General Doods, a member of the War Council and Victor of Dohomey.

Almost a Millionaire By ANTHONY REIMERT When the roofs of Sittwell came into sight McLaren had to use every effort to keep the dogs from hurling themselves to destruction in the thin ice of the thawing river. The brake hardly seemed to restrain the sled. It was with the utmost difficulty that he succeeded in negotiating the last stretch of ground safely. On the sled lay bags and bags of gold—his own gold, from the mine he had found at last. He was almost a millionaire. A trip south, a company to be formed, then the installation of machinery—and he would be rich beyond the dreams of avarice. A yell escaped his lips. A steamer was in—the first of the year. News from the outside world! He drew up in front of Mac's store, which was also the post office. "Howdy, Ben!" said Mac. "Had a good trip in?" "So-so," Ben answered. The little group of loafers looked at the bags and gasped. "Ben's found his mine." The word went quickly round. Ben had been hunting for the mine for three years. He had left a girl in Frisco. Ellen had promised to wait three years if necessary. Then he was to return—sooner. If possible, but not later—whether rich or poor, and they were to be married. He would be back just within the lint of the time set—a millionaire. What a life for them both. Wealth untold, practically—a car, a fine home on the hill. All these visions passed before his eyes in a moment while he was in the post office. "There—there ain't a letter for me. I suppose?" he asked. "Shore there is, Ben," answered the postmaster, slapping it down before him. Jest come in on this boat. Ben's heart beat faster. It was from Ellen. He hesitated a moment before he opened the envelope. Then he felt a momentary disappointment as he saw how short the letter was. But no matter! He, would he down to Frisco in next to no time. He began to read, and as he read grief and astonishment passed across his face. He read that she was tired of waiting, that he had not written for months—how could he, in the interior of Alaska?—that he probably had another girl by now, or more, and that she was sending him back his ring by registered post. And, she had been a fool to waste three years of her life waiting for him. Deliberately Ben folded up the letter, tore it into strips, and let them flutter away. "Reckon Ben's hard hit," said the postmaster to one of his cronies, as they watched him stride beside the sled toward the bank. Yes, he was wounded, mortally, and as a mun does when he received the fatal thrust he did not utter a complaint. He bore no bitterness. "Jest to cache this lot in the bank," he was thinking, "and then north again." And he thought longingly of the waste, white places of the wilderness. He had no longer any desire to go to Frisco. He wanted to get back—to be with himself—and to forget. He cached his gold in the bank and turned the dogs toward the north again. Then suddenly he became aware of a figure in the way, hurrying to ward him. "Ben! Ben!" But he was sure it was a dream, and he only stared at her. "Ben! Won't you speak to me? I tried to stop you getting that let ter I wrote you, but the postmas ter told me that you had it all roady. Oh, Ben, can you ever for alive me?" She was clinging to him. "Ben, if you knew the loneliness of those three years waiting for you, not hearing from you, and feeling my life passing, being afraid you'd found someone else. . . . I was in such a mood that I wrote that letter. And then I came north by the same boat, so as to see you and tell you I didn't mean it. Rich or poor, I'm ready to marry you, then. And, I'm wearing your ring!" Ben's face softened. "That's all right, girl!" he answered. "I guess we've both been lonely. But that's past now." And he turned the dogs back toward Sittwell.

Now that the summer season is coming on, it means that the weather will be very hot and the hoedlags will commence to learn their abodes of hibernation. They are now preparing for an extensive campaign and are mobilizing their forces. They are holding daily and nightly maneuvers and are planning to reorganize the old Roman Phalanx in order that the summer campaign will be flawless. All new officers have been elected and size of the last years noncems have been promoted to shave-tails, captains and majors. The mighty beddings are like anybody else who has not reached the full stage of civilization. They are still barbaric just because one has taken the time to give them any education and culture. All they know is to hate and the pesky little devils don't fail to do that. They lay it on strong and without warning, too. Of course this is due to their ignorance. They don't know any better. They aren't well versed in the technique of modern warfare. All ethics and etiquette are thrown to the wind. Now if some one would start a training school for the little vaponds and teach them to be gentlemen and not four-flushers why would be able to get a little rest at night during the hot season. There is not the least doubt that a number of the college professions will willingly render their services. They can draw up a curriculum stating what phases of modern education the bedbugs ought to cover in order to receive their diplomas. Of course they would have to satisfy the dean that they are worthy of graduating and that they have passed all necessary examinations and also vow that they will carry out their education to the letter. Now, some of the things that ought to be covered in the courses are, teaching the chinches not to take unfair advantage of their prospects, that is biting them when they are asleep and without any warning whatever. To bite them around getting up time would be alright, they will not ever sleep themselves, but to wait until a man is sound asleep is very unethical and ungentlemanly. Then they ought to be taught never to bite more than once in the same place and that it is also us fair for more than three or four to attack the same slumberer. You know that the little fellow are too small to turn us over. Now here's the place we have to bring something into play and that is sub-conscious mind. We must press upon our sub-conscious mind that our bodies are to turn over at a certain time so that the chinchin will not have any difficulty in getting to the desired part. There will be another good thing to do, too, and that is to teach that some kind of science that will be able them to apply the bliss scientifically, so if they have left some stubborn person who is saint asleep, to do is in a manner that will not disturb the sleeper. Then after the bedlings are cultured it is only natural that size of them will get big headed and feel themselves above other little chinches. Well, when those kids are found give them a list of friends they are supposed to snub. They will not want to bite any and everybody for fear they might hurt their biters. You know some of these have delicate biters and cannot afford to bite big and husky holders. You know physical education is stressed in all of the big colleges and universities. Football, basketball, track and other sports are indulged in. The major sport in the training school for the bedbugs ought to be boxing because boxing affords plenty of opportunity for ducking and diving. The little fellows will have to know a great deal about this art. Some folks are so rude and couth that they do not respect the feeling of others. They are just as hard on a little man as they are on a fellow their own size. So the little chinches will have quite a bit of ducking to do. Some people scratch without warning and the bedbugs will have to be fast to get out of the way is time to keep from being crushed under the big hand. When all of this is brought about all of the women can stop using gasoline, black flag and other things which are disastrous to the barbaric chinches. Beautiful Flowers and Beautiful Songs.
