Subscription, in Advance, $2.50 Year GRAPHIC TALE OF U-BOAT MURDERS British Captain Testifies to Submerging That Cost the Lives of Crew. THREE SHIPS ARE TORPEDOED German Commander to Be Put on Trial for Brutally Inhuman Acte at Sea—Captain Is Ship's Only Survivor. London.—A graphic account of the torpeding of the British steamship Torrington in April, 1917, and the subsequent fate of the crew was given by the only survivor at Bow street police court, says the Daily Telegraph, when Sir Chartres Biron sat for the purpose of taking evidence on commission in support of charges which have been formulated against the submarine commander, a Captain Wilhelm Werner. Mr. V. M. Gattle conducted the proceedings on behalf of the British government and Doctor Bunger represented the German government. Mr. Gattle explained that Werner was one of the German officers against whom it was proposed that proceedings should be taken at Leipzig. He had not yet been arrested, but it was thought desirable that, while Captain Starkey, the principal witness, was in London his deposition should be taken, so that in the event of the accused man being apprehended there need be no delay in his trial. The charge against Werner was that he, being in command of the submarine U-55 on April 8, 1917, in the North Atlantic, 150 miles southwest of the Scilly Isles, torpedoed the British steamship Torrington, and afterward willyfully murdered, by drowning, 34 members of the crew. That was the vessel's total complement other than Captain Starkey, who was the only survivor. The Torrington was owned by the Tatham Steamship company of Cardiff, and was proceeding from Gibraltar to Cardiff. She was an ordinary merchant vessel, not a war vessel at all, and carried one gun for purely defensive purposes, as many ships did during the war. On the morning of April 8 the second mate reported that there were lifeboats on the port bow, and the course of the Torrington was slightly varied with the object of rendering assistance if necessary. Suddenly Captain Starkey noticed the wake of a torpedo which was coming towards him. He maneuvered, but was unable to avoid it, and the torpedo struck the ship, which did not immediately sink but was considerably damaged. Soon afterwards the submarine came to the surface and opened fire on the Torrington. Apparently the firing was not very successful, for nobody was killed and the vessel was not further damaged. Seeing that there was no possibility of saving the ship, Captain Starkey gave orders for the crew to take to the lifeboats. The port boat left with some of the men under the first mate, and Captain Starkey took command of the starboard boat. When the latter was about a quarter of a mile from the Torrington the submarine drew up close, and Captain Starkey and the men with him were ordered to go on board. They obeyed, and Werner took Starkey below and, after asking some questions, told him he was a pirate and would be taken to Germany and shot, while as for the crew they could swim. Directly afterwards Werner went on deck, the alarm rang for stations, and the submarine submerged and remained so for twenty minutes. Everyone of the twenty men who had been left on deck was washed off and drowned, and as regarded the men in the other lifeboat, the only assumption was that they were disposed of in some way or other. They were never seen or heard of again, although the sea was perfectly smooth and their boat was in perfect condition. Before the submarine submerged members of the German crew got into Captain Starkey's lifeboat and rowed away, and they afterwards returned with loot from the Torrington and also provisions, which were identified by Captain Starkey as having been in the other lifeboat. Captain Starkey was afterwards kept a prisoner on the submarine, and while he was on board two other British ships were torpedoed and their crews disposed of in the same way. He was eventually taken to Germany, and after the armistice he came back to this country and told his story. Insulted by German Captain, Capt. Anthony Starkey of Cardiff gave evidence bearing out counsel's statement. He said he was thirty-four years of age and was now master of the steamship Brendon. Describing what took place after he went on board the submarine, he said that Werner, who spoke good English, asked him his name, and when he told him he said, "You lie." and pushed over an old copy of Lloyd's Register, in which the name of the previous captain of the Torrington appeared. Witness explained that he had only been captain of the vessel for four months, and Werner then asked if he had any gunners on board. He replied that they were on deck, and Werner remarked that he did not see anyone in uniform. Witness replied in a jocular manner that he had not given them time to put on their best clothes. Mr. Gattie—If you had known he was coming you would have dressed up for it. Was it the practice for gunners to be dressed in uniform? Witness—No; they were members of the crew. Werner then said, "You are a d—pirate. You deserve to be shot, and as for the others, let them swim." Had you any idea then what he meant? No, I thought it was just an expression like "Let them rip," meaning let them go, don't bother about them. Werner then went away and the submarine submerged. Continuing, witness said that after the submarine came to the surface again the German sailors returned in the Torrington's lifeboat, and he noticed that they had, among other things, some of his personal clothing and also tins of meat which had been in the port lifeboat. About two hours later witness heard that the Torrington was sinking. When witness arrived on the submarine he found two other British captains already there—Captain Draper of the Umvoti and Captain Ashfield of the Petridge—both of whose ships had been sunk. Told He Was Lucky, Mr. Gattle—Did you have any conversation with the members of the submarine's crew? Yes, I was bemeaning my fate, and a man named Kuper, who was leading seaman, said, "You are lucky you have your life." On another occasion I was talking to the senior wireless operator, and he also said I was lucky to be alive, and added, "There are too many aboot now or I would tell you something more." I used to get the English wireless news every night from this man, and one night he said: "Your crew never got home. They were all drowned." Witness went on to say that on April 14 the submarine sunk another ship, named the Tora. The captain was brought below by Werner and the submarine then submerged, as she had done after the Torrington was torpedoed. When she rose again Werner sent for witness and asked him if he would like to see a ship sink. For the sake of getting some fresh air he replied, "Yes," and he went up into the conning tower and saw the Tora a short distance away. She did not, however, sink until some time later. Two or three days later another vessel was sunk by gunfire, and again the submarine submerged after the captain had been brought below. In neither case, as far as witness could see, was there any necessity for submerging. Witness was eventually landed at Heliogoland and remained a prisoner until December, 1918. Before he left the submarine one of the officers gave him a piece of torpedo as a souvenir and a pass bearing the U-boat's number and the commander's name. Replying to Doctor Bunger, Captain Starkey said the Torrington was chartered by the Italian State railways. He could not explain how it was that he was allowed to escape alive when he might become such an important witness. He supposed Captain Werner did not think he knew what had happened to the crew. Doctor Bungar—Several German witnesses have stated that a British destroyer was approaching while this was taking place. Witness—There was no destroyer near, to my knowledge. If a destroyer had been approaching, the submarine would not have come to the sur face twenty minutes afterward. BEES BUST THIS ROMANCE Rout Young Lady Just as Young Man Starts to Make Proposal of Marriage. Chicago.—There is one young man in Lake Forest who has sworn vengeance against members of the bee family for all time. It came about through the efforts of Policeman George Kelly, assigned to the beach at Lake Bluff, to stop spooning on the beach. Kelly was unable to watch all of the shady glens formed by the groups of poplar trees and attend to his other duties about the beach at the same time. So he transported a number of bees' nests to these nooks. Thursday night a young Lake Forest couple who have been spending much time together this summer, visited the beach. The young man decided the moment had come to pop the question. So he led the fair one to the shade of the popular glen, gulped a few times, and got under way. "Sit down," he said. "There is something I must say to you." She sat, but rose quickly, and with a scream dashed down the beach. Good-night, romance. WOULD MARRY SICK INDIAN Many Women Charmed by Pellagra- Stricken Owner of Oil Lands in Oklahoma. Colorado Springs, Colo.—Lawrence Gray, a full-blood Osage Indian, who is ill of pellagra, a at sanatorium here, is receiving numerous offers of marriage from friends who are charmed by his beauty or pleased at the prospect of his early death. One of these admirers repeatedly has applied for a license to County Clerk A. E. Jackson. The latter wired to E. H. Mettingly, Gray's guardian, for instructions. The reply has been received, and reads: "Gray is mentally and physically ill. Issue no license." In addition to being ill physically, Gray's mind is deranged as the result of the disease. He is owner of valuable oil lands in Oklahoma, and wealthy. He is thirty years old. OAKLAND, CALIFORNIIA, S. TURDAY, FEBRUARY 25th, 1922 INTERNATIONAL A new riveting gun, invented by a London engineer, which by the application of an explosive force inside, can instantaneously pierce the side of a steel ship, or other metal substances, either above or below the water, is here shown. Photo shows the riveting gun being demonstrated. RAT BLOCKS TOWN TRAFFIC Rodent Walke Electric Light Cable, Balancing itself Like Trained Acrobat. London, Ont.—An average-sized gray rat, walking an insulated electric light cable about thirty-five feet from the ground above the town's main thoroughfare, created such a commotion as it perilously balanced itself for two blocks' length and thousands congregated to watch its progress that traffic was halted for nearly half an hour. The rat evidently was frightened out of an office window or from a roof or ledge near the electric light post. It first attracted attention when it stopped near the main office of the government telegraph building and peered in, perilously balancing itself on the small cable. The clicking of the telegraph instruments turned it back, however, so it wended its way like a tight-rope walker, utterly oblivious to the stir its presence created below. Half way across an intersection the rat stopped and balanced himself like a trained acrobat, taking a good view of the crowded streets, the cars and the shopping district. Suddenly it leaped toward a telephone pole, scampered down and dashed under the feet of screening pedestrians and disappeared from view. BRUIN PLAYS TRAFFIC COP Bear After Hilarious Time in Minneapolis is Arrested for Impersonating an Officer. Minneapolis, Minn.—Impersonating an officer is the charge against "Frenchy," a trained bear belonging to George Harrison. During a riotous interlude, here are the things bruin is alleged to have done: Hustled an inebriated wayfarer along home so briskly that the man sobered up and swore off. Directed traffic at Seventh street and Sixth avenue. Helped himself to sundry tidbits at candy stores and fruit stands. At Seventh street and Sixth avenue "Frenchy" planted himself at the intersection and with paws as semaphore arms began to direct traffic. He was blithely ordering automobiles around when his prospective landlord, Dr. S. O. Lockwood, superintendent of the workhouse, drove up in a car. The superintendent knew right away that "Frenchy" wasn't a real traffic officer. Summoning two policemen he placed the bear under arrest. Then he called the patrol wagon and "Frenchy" was bustled into it like any other malefactor. Bruin spent the night in a cell at the North Side police station. Lizard With Two Tails. Petaluma, Cal.-W. F. Thiery, a rancher, residing on the "Fair View Court" farm near here, discovered a freak lizard with two tails coiled up in an egg shell. The lizard had undoubtedly eaten the contents of the egg and gone to sleep. The freak was exhibited at the chamber of commerce. Tipsy Possum Betrays Big Moonshine Plant Chattanooga, Tenn.-Failure of a possum to play up to his name resulted in the discovery of one of the largest illicit distilleries ever found in this section, according to revenue officers. When attention was first called to the inability of the animal to pursue a straight line of retreat, the raiders thought was ill. One of them, pursuing the rules of possession laid down in law, narratives, captured, rive and smoked his body. TOLD OF H. C. L. IN HEAVEN "Voice From Tomb" Persuades French Widow to Place 500 France on Husband's Grave. Parts.—Because of her readiness to ovelieve that even in heaven the cost of living had become a serious problem a certain faithful French widow came near being defrauded the other day. Since the death of her husband this woman had made it a rule to make a daily visit to his grave in the Pere Lachise Cemetery. But one day while placing flowers on the mound she was startled by hearing a voice. "Up here," the voice called out, "It is the same as upon the earth—everybody wants money. On every hand are people asking for tips. Dear friend, can you let me have 500 francs?" Having no money with her the woman after struggling to overcome her fear promised to bring some as soon as possible and the voice replied gratefully: "Thank you." The woman went home and told a neighbor of her remarkable experience. The neighbor thought a while and then advised the widow to do what the voice had requested, but the neighbor also went to the authorities and let them in on the secret. Gathering together the necessary 500 francs the widow plously placed the money on the grave in a purse and went away. When she was out of sight a young man stepped out from behind a nearby tombstone and took up the purse. But the next thing he knew a policeman had him by the collar. It turned out that the young man was a nephew of the widow, but at the trial that followed she forgave him and withdrew the charges when the young man's wife with a baby in her arms appealed to the widow for mercy. WANT POPPY GROWING ENDED Foes of Opium Ask That China Stop the Cultivation of the Plant. Washlifton.—Support for recommendations in the report of the commission on the opium traffic of the League of Nations has been urged in conferences here with government officials and others by Mrs. Hamilton Wright, one of the experts attached to the commission. Mrs. Wright assisted in the preparation of the report submitted to the league council. Many messages have been sent to Geneva by American organizations urging favorable action on the recommendation as the only means of preventing the revival of the opium traffic. While the report itself has not yet been made public, it is understood that it includes two principal recommendations: 1. The council is requested to seek permission from the central government of China for consuls of league members to address themselves in that country directly to the leaders of the Chinese military forces, urging them to give up the cultivation of the poppy. 2. The council is requested to appoint a special commission of inquiry to visit personally the provinces in China where the poppy is grown to ascertain the extent of the cultivation and the methods of marketing the prohibited drug.

BUSI WHEN YOU KNOW Y LA BONITA "Where Beauty Becomes Symmetry" AND THAT YOU CAN STEP WITH THE BEST "AINT IT A GRAND AND GLORIOUS FEELING?" Have Me Keep Your Appearance This Way by My Scalp and Beauty Treatments The thing that is uppermost in the minds of men, groups of men, races, and nations, is 'Unity'. Men and groups of men are striving for unity to protect them from unfair principles and unsatisfactory conditions. Races are striving for unity because for centuries they have been oppressed by stronger powers. Some of the nations are seeking unity because they are torn asunder internally with revolution and anarchy. Other nations, whose governments are politically and peacefully intact are seeking more unity in the shape of league to offset the onslaught of races and peoples that have oppressed for centuries. In this great current of world discontent floats the American Negro. He, too, has had three centuries experience in what the world considers one of the world's greatest 'Democracies' more than fifty years of which, he has been the innocent victim of gentle arts of 'trickery' and 'deceit' as practiced by Anglo-Saxon-America. He, too, is fast learning that he can no longer depend on his friends to fight his battles; and that, if he would be free must himself strike the blow. He is fast learning to know that in unity there is safety, but dissension leads to destruction. The various organizations among colored women throughout the United States have taken up and are fostering the fight. Our grand and noble women of Chicago have set us an example of which we all should be proud. They have vowed that bombing, incindiarism, nor no other kind of destruction would deter them from living in their homes, and that they intended to live on the premises they had purchased if they had to live in tents. As a result not a man has had to abandon his home on the account of wife's not being willing to stick to him. I plead to the rank and file of colored women to be strong, courageous, and determined. I PLEAD to the women hearers of this audience to ENCOURAGE our men when they are discouraged, help hold up the weary arm of their efforts, suffer and sacrifice with them, for there shall be a sweetness that has dripped from the bitterness that no one can enjoy except those who have tasted them. Be a BRACE to our men in whatever effort they may see fit to undertake for the betterment of our people and their condition. If we would be what God would have us be, we will be UP and DOING; we will NOW begin to shape the destiny of our posterity. W. A. HERMLE & BRO. LEATHER GOODS.

THE UNEMPLOYED The situation is not getting very much better as a whole. No sooner does one class get relief than another is thrown out of employment. At present that is the case with the negro musicians who are on the rocks for various reasons, and there is some talk that the colored stevedores will be asked to reduce their forces on the water front in order to give another race, or the old union men who went out a few years ago on strike. This the colored brothers say they will not agree to and if two gangs are relieved all will quit. This they call manhood and honor. We presume they know the stuff. DEATH WARRANT OF JESUS2 Document of Wonderful Importance, if Genuine, is Hidden Some- where in City of Rome. Somewhere secreted in Rome is a document that if genuine, is to Chri- stian people the most interesting and impressive legal document in the world. It is the death warrant, served on Jesus Christ, and rendered by Ponti Pilate, acting governor of Lower Galllee, stating that Jesus of Naza- rth shall suffer death on the cross. In 1810 workmen, while excavating in the ancient city of Amiternum (now Oquila) in the kingdom of Naples, found an antique vase in which lay concealed a copper plate, bearing on one side a long inscription in the Hebrew tongue—this, when translated, was said to be the death warrant of Jesus. On the reverse side were these words, "A similar plate be sent to each tribe." Faithfully transcribed it read as follows: "In the year seventeen of the Emperor Tiberius Caesar, and the twenty-seventh day of March in the city of the Holy Jerusalem—Annas and Calphas, being priests sacrificators of the people of God, Pontius Pilate, governor of Lower Gallilee, sitting in the presidential chair of the prefecture, condemns Jesus of Nazareth to die on the cross between two thieves, the great and notorious evidence of the people saying: "Jesus is a seducer. "He is sedious. "He is the enemy of the law. "He calls himself falsely the Son of God. "He calls himself falsely the king of Israel. "He entered into the temples followed by a multitude bearing palm branches in their hands. "Ordered the first centurion Quillus Cornellus to lead Him to the place of execution. Forbids any person whomsoever, either rich or poor, to oppose the death of Jesus Christ." The witnesses who signed the condemnation were: Daniel Robanla, a Pharisee; Raphael Robanla, Joannus Robanla, Capet, a citizen. It was also stated that Jesus should go out of the city of Jerusalem by the gate of Struenus.—Los Angeles Times. He and She. "There are three stages in a man's infatuation for a woman: Making his way, having his way and going his way." "The reason that a love affair so seldom ends happily is that one of the lovers is generally unwilling for it to end at all." "It is probable that if a woman cannot see the point of her husband's jokes she will see very little indeed of him." "A woman cares most for a man when their love affair is over; a man cares most for a woman before their love affair has begun." "It is the man who has no right who generally comforts the woman who has wrongs." "It is more or less true that an attractive woman has no friends. The men are more and the women less." "Oddly enough, the woman who looks most self-possessed generally belongs to man." "Men always say that they loathe being flattered, but don't take any notice—no man has ever known that he was flattered."—From "Tattlings," by Sidney Tremayne. Cards by the Thousands More Christmas cards, probably, were posted by Dr. Theodore Maxwell of Woolwich, than by any one individual, says London Answers. He had been engaged for a long time in medical missionary work in India, and for some years before his death, which took place in 1914, he made a hobby of printing these cards in various languages, and sending them all over the world to people who he thought would appreciate them. Altogether he sent out, during the last ten years of his life, some 80,000 cards, inscribed with seasonable greetings in more than 30 different languages and dialects, and mostly printed by his own hand. For several years past a charitable lady residing in New York has posted 5,000 Christmas cards to as many poor children; and there is a philanthropic society, whose headquarters are in South London, which annually dispatches between 30,000 and 40,000 Christmas cards to prisoners all over the world. Breeds New White Carnation. Crossing the American carnation known as "Mrs. T. W. Lawson" with English plants has produced, after twenty-four years of selective breeding, a dazzling white variety, the first of a new race of disease-resisting flowers, which is described as a triumph of horticulture. Its breeder, Stuart Low, who is showing his novelty, named White Pearl, at the Royal Horticultural hall, London, has succeeded in retaining the old carnation fragrance, which in many modern varieties has almost vanished. It is stated that the new pedigree carnation has gone through all disease tests and has come out unscathed. Not In Those Days. Not in Those Days.

Mrs. Frederick Dalziel Misses Death by Inches in Encounter With Wounded Animal. London.—After a six months' big game shooting and exploration expedition in the Tanganyika territory, formerly German East Africa, Mrs. Frederick Dalziel, a young American woman, is in London on her way to a quiet home life with her husband and two daughters in New York. During her expedition, which she made in company with Sir Charles Ross and Mr. Barnes, the African explorer, and his wife, Mrs. Dalziel included in her "bag," among a large quantity of smaller game, an elephant a buffalo, two rhinoceroses, three hip-popamuses and seven lions. "I went for my health, really," she said to an interviewer, "for I was compelled to lead an open-air life." Mrs. Dalziel described how she missed death by inches in an encounter with a wounded rhinoceros. "One day," she said, "we were walking down one of the jungle tracks, almost like subway tunnels, which run from water hole to water hole, when we came on a big animal asleep. Sir Charles Ross went on ahead and fired at and wounded it, and it went crashing away into the jungle. I was some little way behind, and suddenly I heard, scarcely a yard away, the noise of the rhinoceros, which had gone round in a circle and was coming back to the track again. "I went behind a bush, but the animal also had the same idea, and it crashed right past me and caught me with its side, and I and two natives who were with me were knocked over into a thorn bush. Except for some cuts about the face I was unhurt. Most probably the rhinoceros did not see me." Here Sir Charles Ross broke in, saying: "There is only one thing that Mrs. Dalziel has been entirely deprived of in her composition. That is—fear. When a lion suddenly appears a few feet away from you and Mrs. Dalziel says, "What a beautiful lion!"—well, there you are." "It was!" exclaimed Mrs. Dalziel.

'61 VET FINDS MAN HE SHOT Union Soldier Traces His Bullet Fired in Battle of Vickaburg Fifty-Eight Years ago. Kelso, Wash.—P. J. Knapp, a Civil war veteran, after 58 years has traced the course of a bullet he fired at the stage of Vicksburg. Some time ago Mr. Knapp read a news dispatch saying that W. B. Meadows, a Confederate veteran of Lanott, Ala., had coughed up a bullet which was shot into his eye at Vicksburg. Mr. Meadows, the account said, was a member of the Thirty-seventh Alabama regiment, and Mr. Knapp recalled an incident at the siege, when he and three other members of the Fifth Iowa volunteers silenced a Confederate sharpshooter who was firing through a small hole in a sheet of boiler plate. When Mr. Knapp wrote to Mr. Meadows, the latter said that he was the man behind the boiler plate, and that the bullet entered his right eye.

Breaking a LandClearing Record. A total of 18,000 acres of land in Marinette county, Wisconsin, were cleared during the season of 1920. This is a record, and the increase will represent at least $1,000,000 a year in crops. The closing of the task was marked by a great blast of an acre of stumps near Wausau县. At this point 155 sticks of dynamite were set off simultaneously as an electric impulse was transmitted by a presiding official who closed a switch.

The inclement weather prevented many from the services last Sunday, and several persons were prevented by illness of themselves or immediate family. Yet a goodly number gathered to worship at both services. There was one accession to the church at 11 a.m. Although a few gathered, the spirit of God is always in evidence. At 1 p.m. an interesting study of the lesson was enjoyed by the Sunday School. The orchestra was at its best. "Hear them." The evening services were splendid. The Christian Endeavor was well attended. The Junior Choir charmed the congregation with their singing. The pastor, Rev. Brown, delivered a powerful sermon. The dinner by the Stewardess Board was a success. The Social by Allen Daughters was indeed an enjoyable affair to all who attended. The 1st Sunday in March the Presiding Elder will be with us.

This is the first of a series of talks on different ailments of the feet that many people are suffering from. It will be my endeavor to make everything simple and avoid all technical names so that all will understand. Flatfoot. The most common of foot deformities especially amongst the colored race is flatfoot. It causes the foot to become easily tired, and by their weakness and oblique position impairs the circulation causing the feet to burn as if on fire, therefore making the person very much less efficient in his duties than he otherwise would be.

Price $4.00 including postage. This new history will be felt by many to be the most important book upon the Negro that has been printed for year. We have had a deluge of opinion on the question, doled out to us by black and white alike, but Mr. Brawley gives us a history compiled with conscientious care and covering a long period of time. From the coming of the firstslave ship to the founding of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the National Negro Improvement Association is a goodly period and the 400 pages that the book contains can with difficulty compress all the important things has to say.

C. W. MICHAUX, Secretary. IS UNDER SPELL "Little People" Have Sway Over Stream in Ireland. Waterway in County Fermanagh Avoided by the Dwellers Near It Because of Old Superstition. Up in County Fermanagh, in the northern part of the Emerald Isle, there is a dark, deep, silent stream, which winds its way some 15 miles or more through a picturesque country. It is called the Sheelethes, or the Stream of the Fairies, and there are many tales and legends told concerning it. It rises near the little village of Derrygonnelly, its source being a small lake called Bunahone. Its course lies between the picturesque mountains of Bo and a beautiful level country on its other bank called the Golden Plain. The wild sedge grows down to its very waters, and above it the curlew sends out his eerie call in the hush of the evening. But beautiful as the stream may look to visitors, it is shunned by the country folks who live in its vicinity. Tradition says that at one time the little fairy people placed a curse upon it and from that time on death and disaster have come out of its treacherous waters many times. There are few who care to wander along its *banks*, for in the minds of all who know there always lingers the old saying that has been handed down from sire to son for many years: Bad shall it be for fish and fishing Good shall it be for drowning. Always unlucky shall it be to meddle with. There is a strange peculiarity about the river, and that is that it runs in an apparently uphill course. The legend that accounts for this freak of nature is as follows: One day Saint Faber was feeling from her enemies along the river bank. In her haste she dropped one of her precious books in the water. Deeply grieved over her loss, she raised her staff over the stream, and instantly the waters turned backwards in the course, and her precious book was restored to her. Time and again various attempts have been made to drain this treacherous stream, which very often overflows its banks and does considerable damage to the farmers in the vichy. But always, disaster and death have followed those who have meddled with the stream. At the last attempt made such a series of accidents and deaths befell those who undertook the project that it probably will be a long time before the thing is brought up again. Even those who are most injured by the stream's vagaries, the farmers whose lands are so often flooded, will now have nothing to do with the draining of the Sheelees, preferring financial loss rather than incurring the emity of the Little People. And so today the Stream of the Fairies pursues its crooked, treacherous course, at places shining like a dazzling silver ribbon in the sunshine, at other parts lying in deep, dark, treacherous pools, waiting for an unwary one whose feet might step beyond the mank sedge that lines its ```markdown ``` Know all Men by these Presentes That we, the undersigned, C.

BOARDING WITH ONE'S WIFE Remarkable Plan Adopted by Shrewd Jersey Man May Have Some- thing to Recommend it. The story of the seventy-five-year- old Jersey man who has just renewed a nine-year signed contract to board with his wife (her age is forty-five) at a fixed figure, and not to speak to her unless the house is burning down stirs in old-timers' minds the retrain of a favorite song of Sol Smith Rus sell: Oh, O'd like to know Who's that man? Is it me or Flannigan, the lodger? But, really, there isn't any lodger in the Jersey case, nor any "starboarder," but the husband. The children are grown up. Three sons support the mother. If the aged father pays his board, he has no further responsibilities. And he has still a good job and is content. Also his wife is content. Our reasonable guess it that she is a mighty good housekeeper, observes the Brooklyn Eagle. Nine years with no complaint possible, without contract-breaking, and a renewal at the end of the term is excellent evidence of that. There are no files on her coffee and none in it. The steak is broiled and not fried. The bacon and chops are done to a turn. Even the hash must be eatable. Beds are properly aired and carefully made up. The boarder doesn't have to wait half an hour when he wants to take a bath. Hot water is available at all hours. Smoking in your room is permitted, probably encouraged. Perhaps the habit of speaking to a wife, or having a wife speak to you has its disadvantages. It often develops acclimacy, sometimes alimony. Every sociological experiment, such as the Jersey one, is entitled to be judged on its merits. The human race must live and learn by experimentation. ROMAN RECORDS IN AFRICA Discovery It is Believed Will Throw Much Light on Early History of the Empire. A discovery which, it is claimed, will form one of the fundamental sources for a history of the Roman empire under Augustus has been made recently by Doctor Oliverio, an Italian savant in Cyrene, the ancient Greek colony in Africa, founded in the Seventh century. A Morning Post correspondent, writing from Cyrene, says that excavations at Bengas—the ancient Berence, which stood in the midst of the gardens of the Hesperides, near the mouth of the River Lethe—have resulted in the unearthing of a block of marble eight feet long, one face of which bears a flawless Greek inscription of over one hundred lines; the translation of a letter from Augustus on the government and administration of justice in Cydenaeia, giving a wonderful insight into the financial and judicial conditions of the country at that time. Other interesting finds are a sanctuary dedicated to Eastern divinities, probably of the time of Julian the Apostate, with a remarkably well-preserved black marble statue of an Egyptian goddess. An extensive Ptolemaic cemetery also has been located. At Apolonia, a Christian basilica of the Fifth century is being excavated, and at Merdj, the ancient Barce, some Cicci inscriptions have been found which are he to be of great importance when story of ```markdown ``` Office hours, 9 A.

Why not begin NOW by using the Chinese Medicinal Herb Tean, with all ailments if you come to us in time. Hundreds of men and women given up to die have been cured by us. Abso- Oakland, Cal., Nov. 1, 1921 Dear Drs. Chan and Kong. To Whom it May Concern. It is with the greatest gratitude to Chan & Kong that I give testimonial of their skill. I had been ailing for many years. I was a sufferer of ap pendicitis and had frequent attacks and suffered severe pains. I tried many doctors, who urged an operation, stating that was my only hope tor a cure. I only took four weeks of Chan & Kong's Herb Tea Treat- Considering the many years I suffered I considered this quick cure remarkable and a sure proof of the woudertui qualities of the Chinese Herb Remedies. I am particularly glad that I was cured without having an operation. Yours respectfully, MRS. A. E. RAEZLER, 10203 Cary Ave., Oakland, Cal. CHAN & KONG 901 Clay Street, Cor. Ninth.
