Reputed to be Worth $2,000,-000. LIVED SIMPLE AND FRUGAL LIFE Was Successful Farmer and Frequently Drove to Town in Wagon And was Familiar Figure on Streets. Children Drove High-Priced Machines. WEST COLUMBIA, Tex., Sept. 23. Charles Brown, who died at his home here a few days ago at the age of 90 years, was probably the wealthiest, but one of the most unostentatious, Negroes in the world. He is believed to have left a fortune of considerable more than a million, some estimates placing the figure at $2,000,000. It is known that Brown owned at the time of his death about 3,600 acres of land, a considerable part of which is in the heart of the wonderfully productive West Columbia oil field, all under lease. He received an enormous revenue from oil wells under the one-eighth royalty clause which is in all the lease contracts. He was also a successful farmer during his long life. He leaves a family of seven children and a number of grandchildren. Al though the aged Negro did not set store by a reckless display and expenditure of money, he was liberal in providing for his children. Brown's physical and mental condition was vigorous up to a few days before he died. He made no change in his manner of living when fortune came to him. He was a familiar figure on the streets of West Columbia and surrounding country. Frequently he was seen driving along the roads and streets in a farm wagon. Although his children rode in high-priced automobiles their father was content to follow the even tenor of his old life. He was always held in the highest respect by the white people of the town and section. YOUNG COLORED PHYSICIAN PERFORMS DIFFICULT OPERATION Dr. R. C. Riddle, physician and surgeon of this city, successfully performed one of the most difficult operations known to surgery, the operation being that of "Laparotomy," or the removal of a fibroid tumor. This required utmost surgical skill, especially so when the patient had been unsuccessfully attended by tqen other sur- Dr. R. C. Riddle geons. The case had evidently been given up as hopeless. The operation was performed Sunday, September 12, and now the patient is able to sit up and all stitches have been removed. Of the many such feats Dr. Riddle has undertaken, he has the record of not losing a single case. He performs an average of six operations per week, or about one case daily. He has recently set up a new hospital at 27th and Q Streets, South Omaha, into which he will move October 1. Here he will be equipped with all modern conveniences for surgical THE MONITOR work and will be in a far better position to treat a greater number of patients. REGISTER!

MAINE ELECTION AS LEAGUE DEATH BLOW Paris Editor Urges Frenchmen to Keep in Contact With Republicans. SEES HARDING PRESIDENT PARIS, Sept. 23.—The election of Senator Harding is prophesied by Jacques Bainville in the Eclair. He, commenting on the Maine election, said it was most significant and important for France, as it indicated American public opinion was against the League of Nations. "An American adaptation of the league covenant with the German treaty is henceforth a quasi-certainty upon which we must not fail to count," writes M. Bainville. "It is therefore essential that we keep in close contact with the republicans, among whom we can count some of France's surest friends in America, and continue to enlighten them on the insufficiencies and absurd realities of the Versailles treaty. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, SEPTEMBER 23, 1920 formula, the United States will keep the best parts of the treaty. It is necessary that the United States be informed as to which are good and which are bad. Another lesson which must be taken from the Maine election is that America's tendency is toward salutary reaction. "President Wilson felt this last month when he launched his encyclical 'cultra nostra' against Bolshevism. It is universal democracy, and the right of self-determination of peoples which compels nations today to live with their heads down and feet in the air—in short, all that makes for anarchy and insecurity, all that forms the essence of Wilsonian is likewise condemned by the Maine vote. "America is for order, and France, as Judge Elbert Gary has said, 'is first of all for order.' Let us reap a benefit from the American movement." COLORED WOMAN APPPOINTED MATRON IN Y. W. C. A.

Under auspices of local branch N. A. A. C. P. On last Sunday night at the St. John's A. M. E. Church, under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was held a meeting that will long live in the hearts of colored Americans of this city. One very striking feature of the evening was the singing of Fouk songs by the choir under the direction of Mr. Parker. Mrs. Jesse Hale Moss ably presided over the meeting until the time came to introduce the speaker of the evening, when she introduced Mr. John Long, who is Inspector of Weights and Measures for the city of Omaha, who in turn in a few Congressman A. W. Jefferis. well choosen words introduced the distinguished guest. Owing to the lengthy address it is not possible to publish it in full, but Mr. Jefferies said among other things: Mr. Chairman, My Fellow Citizens, Ladies and Gentlemen: I know not how it came about, but as I entered this hall tonight and took my seat in the pulpit I reached forward and picked up a fan and on that fan was the face of Abraham Lincoln. And as I looked into that face I could not help thinking what the influence of that great man has been and what wonderful things have been accomplished since his name became a household word throughout this republic and throughout the world. It may be that you feel somewhat downcast and depressed in all of the discriminations that have been heaped upon your race, but nevertheless I feel tonight as I look into your faces and observe the beams of intelligence I can say truthfully that the Negro race has made the most remarkable progress of all peoples of the civilized world. Abraham Lincoln believed that the rights of one man should be no more nor less than the rights of another man and being inbued with that thought the civil war was fought for four years and the black man was emancipated and slavery was abolished. I believe in the rights of every human being regardless of what his color may be. The evolution of man is still going and this organization that you are giving your support, your energy, your vote will stir the evolution and bring to you your desires. People will learn that you cannot discriminate against a people because of some peculiarity about them. They will learn that what they do to undermine the black man is undermining the republic. Take Virginia for instance, in trying to keep the Negro from enjoying all of his constitutional rights there they have also denied the ballot to 150,000 white voters, for they are not qualified either. I don't want to be misunderstood. God knows there is enough of that in the world already. There will always be some discrimination in the world, but you don't want any discrimination in law. I had the privilege of spending several weeks in the south in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia. We had the job of ascertaining if possible just where your money had been spent during the war. We went to Charleston, South Carolina and found that the government could have had the ground leased for $1,000 a year to build a dock on; we also found that two engineers had been sent down there and had reported that the docks could be built for $476,000. But when it came time to build the report of the engineers had been pigeon-holed and the docks were built 9 miles farther down the river and over $20,000,000 of my money and your money had been spent to accommodate just one ship, when the ground that had been reported on by the engineers would have accommodated 7 ships and at only a cost of $476,000. One peculiar thing about Charleston is that there are 70,000 inhabitants there, 3-5 of whom are colored and 2-5 are white. Upon investigation I found that there was only one republican in the town, a Mr. Durant, who had been there for about two years. All of the colored people were not even counted. Despite that and other discriminations the colored race has ever proven itself 100 per cent Americanism to the flag. I am here to tell you tonight that this country is dependant more upon you than you have an idea. I am here to tell you tonight that in the last two years over 40,000 Negroes have gone to the State of Ohio alone to make better homes, better their condition and to enjoy suffrage that was denied them in the Southland. I am here to tell you tonight that there is in Ohio a coming man who I believe will help solve the many grievous problems that confront you for he plainly stated his attitude in his speech of acceptance. That man is Marren G. Harding. It takes a brave man even now to sometimes stand for the right. You know there are shallow women who will criticise me for coming here tonight and addressing you, but if the constitution means anything to me at all it means that my rights are no better than any or all of the citizens. Let me tell you, don't get impatient. Evolution has been and still is slow, but it is also sure. If any bills come up before the next Congress against discrimination I will be there." AMERICAN GIANTS, WINNERS NEGRO LEAGUE RACE (By Associated Negro Press.) CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 23.—The American Giants, considered the weak sister of the league, after disposing of Whitworth, leading pitcher of the world, Francis Star, 3d baseman, Barber, crack outfielder; Charleston, greatest outfielder in the world; their chances did not even look encouraging, but when the gong sounded, Foster surprised the base ball world, with a machine that has never been surpassed in Chicago, by any of the great clubs he has handled. American Giants have defeated every club in the league, winning, 4 out of 7, from Detroit; 9 out of 12, from St Louis Giants; 9 out of 10, from Cuban Stars; 11 out of 15, from Kansas City; 8 out of 9 from Dayton. Even Chicago Giants have not beaten them one game. So no one can say it was a flash in the pan, but the best club in circuit. The great Bacharachs, headed by Cannon Ball Redding, String Bean Williams and two other crack pitchers and Eastern Stars, were also decisively beaten by American Giants, 4 out of 6 games. Knoxville Giants, champions of the Southern League, challenged the American Giants for World's championship, and will meet September 21, 22, 23, 24, at Birmingham; 25 and 26 at New Orleans,—American Giants then play Birmingham, 27, 28, 29 and 30; meet Knoxville at Knoxville, October 1 and 2; and final game of series at Chattanooga, October 3d. They will then meet Bacharachs at New York and return South against A. B. C.'s of Indianapolis. POLICE PROTECT MEN FROM ANGRY MOB Three Men Charged with Killing Charles Barret, Take Refuge in Roman Catholic Church CHICAGO, Sept. 23.—Three colored men were besieged for more than an hour in St. Gabriel's Roman Catholic church on the South Side Monday night by a mob of a thousand persons after they had killed a white man, Charles Barret, who is said to have gone to the rescue of a white girl insulted by the men. They were rescued and placed in jail when squads of policemen were sent to avert a possible race riot. Chief of Police Garrity ordered the entire police force mobilized and placed several hundred extra police-men around the scene of the trouble, which was at the southeast corner of the stock yards, where several thousand Negroes are employed. Shortly after Barret had been killed three colored men were dragged from a street car two blocks away and severely beaten. The men who killel Barret, cutting his throat with a razor, were chased several blocks by a continually increasing crowd anl finally they dashed into the church. Two hid in the confessional box and one back of the altar. Hold Meeting to Deneouce Lynching of Two Negroes and Pledge Themselves to Aid Officers to Apprehend Mobbists. (By Associated Negro Press.) CORINTH, Miss., Sept. 23.—At a mass meeting held in the first Baptist Church (white.) called for the purpose of expressing the views of the citizens of Corinth and Alcorn County upon the action of certain unknown persons in hanging two Negro men who were confined in jail, which meeting was largely attended by both men and women, and after a full discussion and due consideration it was resolved: First, That we, the citizens f Cor- inth and Alcorn County do hereby express our condemnation of said act as being a ruthless and inexcusable disregard of the courts of our country, and an overthrow and contempt for the laws of our land. Second, That we here declare that every aid we can give to the officers whose business to ferret out the crime and apprehend the criminals is hereby solemnly offered and pledged. Third, That said act of hanging the said human beings does not meet with the approval of the great body of the people of this city and county, but on the contrary meets with their stern condemnation that more of Negro in it just purchase brick Bake converted a colored child.

There was something about the young man who approached her in the suit and cloak department of the store where she had just been employed, that won the attention of Irene Dawson at once. This was her second week at earning a living, and not yet had interest in noticing and studying the various types of people who came along abated. Home and school had confined her girlhood to a narrow scope, and bustling business life fascinated her with a presentation like to a constantly changing diorama. "I am to see the manager, if you please," spoke the young man, and his tones corresponded with his delicate, refined face. "It is about a cont," and he set down a suitcase he had carried. "Miss Lowe has gone to the stockroom and will be here in a few minutes," Irene apprised him, and just then the lady in question appearing, Irene busied herself folding and sorting some silk sweaters, and, as was her wont, mentally analyzing the caller, picturing him as an artist, or poet, or a professional man of some sort, judging him by his intellectual features and trying to surmise the cause of a somewhat sad expression in his eyes. He and the lady manager were engrossed for some time in discussing a lady's street coat which the suitcase contained. She wrote him out a cashier's check, placed the returned garment aside, and was busy making a notation on a tab, when Irene passed to her side. "Walter Morse," read Irene, and an address. "Poor man. Rather a peculiar case," said Miss Lowe. "His mother purchased the coat here a week ago and died three days later. From what he tells me she had taken charge of two children of a dead daughter, and now these are left to his care. Nothing is at hand to provide for the little brood, and I fancy he is not himself possessed of any material surplus of income. Oh, my dear," she called after Irene, as the latter moved away, "you told me you were thinking of a new winter coat." "Yes, when winter comes and I have saved up enough to buy it," laughed Irene: "Well, here is your chance," announced Miss Lowe, and she held up the article just returned. Irene inspected the garment eagerly. The low price was irresistible. "I will take it," she said, and that evening carried it home fully satisfied with a purchase that provided her with a cold-weather wrap at one-half its real value. Irene's mother approved the bargain and was interested in Irene's story of the incident that had led to its acquisition. The Dawson's had known comfort and plenty until the head of the family died, and Irene was now the sole support of her aged mother. "I will get at the coat tomorrow, dear," said the latter. "It is quite long, and I think the best way to do would be to turn in the defaced edge." So for the time being, the garment was forgotten, but not so the interesting young man who had brought it to the store. Irene consulted the telephone book. Yes, there it was: "Walter Morse, Ceramics." "I felt sure he followed some artistic calling," Irene told herself, and then blushed consciously. "Why," she cheated herself into saying, "one would think I was in love with him. What nonsense!" but went to bed still thinking of Mr. Walter Morse. The following day was one of short working hours and Irene came home early. Her mother met her at the door in a great state of excitement. "I came near sending for you," she fluttered. "I could hardly wait till you came home. Oh, Irene! the most wonderful thing! In an inside pocket of the coat, sewed up, I found—but come and see for yourself." Upon the dining-room table lay the coat and beside it was a small bank book. It was open and its first page recorded a recent entry of two thousand dollars. Beside it was an envelope containing a certificate of deposit for a like amount and a dozen Liberty bonds. "Don't you see, Irene?" said Mrs. Dawson, "the mother of the young man sewed that treasure into the pocket as a safe way to keep it and died before she could tell him about it." "We must get to him at once," declared Irene. "I know he was worrying because nothing could be found to provide for the children," and at once she insisted on her mother accompanying her to the address given by Mr. Walter Morse. The conjecture of Mrs. Dawson was correct and gladness, relief and gratitude showed in the face of Walter Morse when his two unexpected callers appeared. Irene fell in love with the cherubic orphans at first sight. The young man asked outright if Mrs. Dawson would undertake their care until he made more permanent arrangements, and the Dawson home was enlivened by the constant presence of the little tots. The "permanent arrangements" materialized, as they were bound to do where two young souls were mutually interested. They were ushered in by the love god, and included the housing of the five, a happy and harmonious family under one and the same roof. DADDY'S EVENING FAIRY TALE By Mary Graham Bonner Summon THE BLUE BIRD. "Ah," said the blue bird, "you're a lucky dog, a very lucky dog, indeed." "I am that," said Peeky who was also known as Miss Peek. Peeky was a small smooth-haired black dog and his best friend was a little boy named Charles. C "My real name, or rather I should say my first name of all was Peek-a-boo," said Peeky. "I've been called so many things since that I consider each of them my real name. And in a way each is my real name for by each, name am I called. "But the first name of all which I was ever named, so my master and my mistress tell me and so Charles tells me, too, was Peek-a-boo. It's a name I haven't heard for so long that I have almost forgotten it as a name of mine." "You look so happy," said the blue bird as he looked at Peeky who was sitting on the grass. The blue bird was perched on the branch of a tree. "Blue bird," said Peeky, "I want to ask you a question. Do you mind if I do?" he added politely. "Not in the least," said the blue bird. "Well," said Peeky, "I have often heard you called the blue bird and I suppose that must be your name for you always answer to it. It is your name, is it not?" "It is," said the blue bird. "Mr. Blue Bird is my name." "Then," said Pecky, "you must surely explain something for me, for it is puzzling me greatly and I would like to have it explained." "Gladly will I do so," said the blue bird. "I have heard people speak of being blue," said Pecky. "They have talked of being discouraged and sad and such things. They have looked sad and their voices have been without laughter for a while—for all of the time in fact that they said they were blue. And when they've been discouraged and sad and such things they've said they've been blue. "Now you are always blue and yet you are not sad. You are a blue bird and still you sing. When people are blue they do not sing, they say they feel like crying." "You want me to explain why it is I sing though I am blue?" asked the blue bird. "That is easy for me to do. I will explain it to you at once." "Good," said Peeky. "You see," said the blue bird, "that I am blue in color. Now when people are sad and discouraged and when they say they are blue you will notice that they are not blue in color. Their feelings, their cheerfulness has become blue but not their faces and their feathers. I didn't mean to say feathers for, of course, they haven't feathers. "But they do not become blue themselves in their looks, only in their feelings. So as I am blue in my looks it doesn't mean I must be in my feelings any more than they must be blue in their looks because they are blue in their feelings. "I'm a blue bird, that is my color. I like it and I am happy. I do not feel "And you are happy then?" asked Peeky. OCTOBER "Tremeado u sly so," said the blue bird. "Oh. bow-wow." "Oh. bow-wow," said Pecky. "There comes my breakfast fast coffee and my lump of sugar for dessert." "What?!" asked the blue bird. "Of course," said Pecky. "I have a blue, and between looking blue and feeling blue there is a great differ-ence." is a great differ- For Breakfast. ence." small bowl of coffee with milk and melted sugar every morning for breakfast. I may not take it quite so hot as most people but I do like coffee. I really, really do! I love it! Most dogs are different. And then after Charles has had his breakfast he brings me a lump of sugar. He never, never forgets it. It is always in his pocket. I'm not blue in my feelings, or sad, not I," ended Peeky. What the Problem Was. Father—Young man, why were you so late coming home from school tonight? Son—The teacher said she wanted me to stay about a problem. Father—What was the problem? Son—I was. Chance. Citizen—Now that your boy is out of college, are you going to give him a chance in your business? Merchant—No; I'm not going to give him a chance—I'm going to take one. THE MONITOR CULTURE DU CULTURED DUBLIN Sackville Street, Dublin. IT HAS been said that Dublin has more the character of a continental than an English city; this is true in a way, but it is not the first thing that strikes the visitor from across the Irish sea. The most striking thing about Dublin is that its architecture bears traces of being all of one time, says a writer in the Christian Science Journal. To us who are used to the extraordinary hotchpotch of London, deriving its characteristics of brick and stone from every conceivable century, there is something peculiarly attractive about the street upon street of square Georgian houses. London always seems to be in a state of violent reaction against everything which is called "eighteenth century," so that those parts of London which most resemble Dublin seem most foreign to our conception of London itself. Perhaps it is because it is Georgian that Bloomsbury attracts a particular type of inhabitant, as often as not a cultured foreigner, not to be found in the urbanity of Mayfair, nor in the banality of Malda Vale. And if you imagine a city where all the streets are like Great Ormond street and the squares like the Bloomsbury squares, you have an honest conception of Dublin. Nor does the eighteenth century appear in the houses alone; there are those in Dublin who carry on the tradition of old world courtliness which has long become rare enough to be remarkable even in Bloomsbury; it is true that they are few in number here, but they are sufficient to leave a certain fragrance of other days in drawing room and coffee house. Before getting on board the boat at Holyhead, Great Britain will leave memories of abject Anglesea in the traveler's mind, and when the waste of sea reveals ahead of him the first contours of Ireland, the mountains rise up to greet him with a very different face from that of the flat and cheerless little island he has just crossed. They are almost blatantly green, so that he must perform murmur platitudes beneath his breath about the "emerald isle." Dubliners are forever conscious of those mountains near by; they escape to them as often as they can and endow them with a symbolic meaning. The Dublin mountains seem to have got misplaced from the far west; they are that part of primeval Connacht which has set itself at the door of Dublin in order to turn the heart of the Gael west rather than east. In the Dublin mountains there travel to and fro the old vagrants with whom lingers the memory of a Celtic poetry and from whom Synge and Yeats and the rest have gathered so much local color. In Dublin itself this old culture lingers alongside of the modern and English industrialism of the Liffey and the quaysides, and in the dirty streets on the north side one can still come across a ballad singer with a little group round him. Charles Lever, when he was at Trinity college, dressed as a ballad singer and earned 30 shillings in the Dublin streets, and another and ever more famous Trinity college student earned a crown every now and then for a street song. This young man was Oliver Goldsmith, whose statue now graces the entrance to the university, than whom no man could be found more typical of the best period of Dublin's prosperity. The Bonhemian Quarter. Today all the varied energies, political, literary, social, are concentrated into a space bounded by Grafton street, Stephen's green, Trinity college railings and Merrion square; within these limits there is scarcely a house that does not conceal some enthusiasm. Not the least interesting are the little shops where enthusiasts seek to turn business into an art; the "Sod of Turf," where you can talk and eat and drink in Gaelic, where the fire is a real turf fire, and the waitress a real Kerry Gael; the "Crock of Gold," where the genius which produced James Stephens' masterpiece is turned to the making of homespun Jumpers and the like, so that the streets of somber eighteenth century Dublin may blaze with color that would delight a post-impressionist; then there is the Irish --- Clad in Romance. The Bohemian Quarter. RED UBLIN bookshop which, like all the rest, has come into being through a wider enthusiasm than the mere desire to sell books. There is an Arts club of the most respectable type, so respectable, indeed, that the bohemians who do not belong to it will tell you that it has only once had a real artist within its doors and he was expelled at the end of a week. Stephen's green is the great center of the whole city; here, as he tells us in that most fabulous of histories, "Ave Atque Vale." Mr. George Moore lingered to meet Mr. Yents on the occasion of their founding the Irish dramatic movement; here live Mme. Gonne, the Irish Joan of Arc, and Mrs. John Richard Green, Ireland's historian, and many others of the best loved of Ireland's children. And in those most tragic days of April, 1916, Mme. Marclevies held Stephen's green with a troop of boy scouts. A story is told which shows the amazing muddle of those days. Some English lady visitors had just looked at the Shelburne hotel and, looking out of the window, they saw some bare-kneed, red-cheeked children digging trenches in the green. "We highly approve of the scout movement," they said. "Let us take them some plates of bread and jam." Judge of their surprise a quarter of an hour later to find them selves prisoners of war in the middle of the green. AMAZING FEATS OF STRENGTH Pole, Without Seemingly Remarkable Muscular Developments, Breaks Record—Performer's Awful Fate. Visitors to a well-known London music hall some years ago witnessed a remarkable sight. It was announced that, a Pole, named Lettl, would perform some amazing feats of strength. There appeared upon the stage a little man only five feet in height, and weighing about 140 pounds. Not young, either, for he was only three years off forty. The audience rubbed their eyes. Was this the much advertised strong man? A huge anchor was brought in, and four men clung to it. This burden, weighing no less than 1,500 pounds, was at once lifted by Lettl, who thus beat the record lift by no less than 400 pounds. He then stood between two eight horsepower cars, to which he attached himself by means of hooks, which he held in his hands. The cars were started simultaneously, but, by sheer finger-strength, Lettl held them so that they could not move, although the engines were working at full power. This feat of holding two cars may perhaps be taken as pretty well the limit of human strength. That it is a fearfully risky feat is proved by the horrible accident which recently befell the famous strong man known as Apollon. At Vichy, before a large audience, he essayed a similar feat, his arms being harnessed by chains to two cars which were driven in opposite directions. He accomplished the performance safely, and then, in answer to applause, tried it again. To the horror of the spectators, he was seen to lose his balance. Before the motors could be stopped, all the muscles of the right side of his chest were torn out. He died almost instantly. The Colors on Santiago Walls All Cuban cities offer a motley of tints, but Santiago outdoes them all in the chaotic jumble of pigments. In a single block we found house walls of lavender, sap green, robin's egg blue, maize yellow, sky gray, saffron deep imperial pink, old rose, light pink, yellow ocher, maroon, tan, vermilion and purple. This jumble of colors with never two shades of the same degree, gives the city a kaleldoscopic brilliance under the tropical sun that is equally entrancing and trying to the eye.—Harry A. Franck in the Century Magazine. Tobacco Seeds Are Almost Dust. The seeds of the tobacco plant are so minute that a thimbleful will furnish enough plants for an acre of ground. --- FALL MODES AS SEEN IN PARIS Skirt and Sleeve Lengths Still Undetermined for the Approaching Season. CLING TO PRESENT STYLES Abbreviated Types Likely to Be Retained for Autumn Wear Judging From Fashions Display at French Society Affairs. From Paris, the source of fashion inspiration, there come at this season little tales filled with significance. They are pertinent signs, observes a Paris fashion correspondent, to be regarded with due attention and all seri- THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIES Evening gown showing manner in which lace is being used, Callot putting her own particular stamp upon the design. ousness if one would know the general fashion tendencies for the season to come. Now is the psychological moment to think of gowns that will develop by the time cold weather sets in. The original scheme may be changed and juggled, but in that way it becomes perfected and one's wardrobe, instead of being a matter of chance, becomes an individual achievement. That is the way to be really well dressed. The lessons to be learned from the French women in this respect are numerous. A French woman regards primarily the lines of her own figure, the shape of her own head and the setup of her own personality. A certain line suits her figure. She looks upon that as a fixed point and around it revolves the building of the clothes of a new season. She does not see styles as things in themselves, she sees them only as possible adaptations to herself. And if she finds a new thing that fits in with her ideas of herself she bites at it like a trout at a fly. She never buys a gown solely because it is beautiful. She never allows herself to stay out of the picture long enough to consider the dress as a separate entity, and, what is more, she accomplishes her end with cleverness and thought and usually with great artistic success. Importance of the Lines. The general lines are the first to be considered, and all signs point to certain changes in silhouette. For instance, the fullness over the hips is gradually declining. That seems to be a certainty, for all the reports from the English and French races say that the lines of the silhouette are straight and uncompromising. They say the chemise dress is still in favor. For that fact many will give thanks, for this dress has come to be greatly loved. So much can be done with it in the way of variations. It is so vastly becoming to many figures and its possibilities of adaptation are too wonderful to be lightly cast aside. Proof of its desirability lies in the fact that it returns repeatedly to the fore ranks of fashion. There is a heated discussion going on about the ever-variable length of sleeves and skirts. Last year at this time our skirts in America very nearly touched the ground and clung about the feet. Now they have sprung sky high, and everybody—even those who swore they could not do it—is pleased as can be over the change. Will the short skirt stay with us for another season? French and English society women predicted that skirts would lengthen, but, as a matter of fact, they do not seem to be one whit long- er. All the photographs which are being sent from the races show skirts that well nigh touch the knees by way of length, for the French always have worn them much shorter than ours. American women, too, have become used to the more abbreviated skirt lengths, and common sense would lead one to suppose that the skirt would remain short for the coming season. However, the only fault in that heavy reasoning is that common sense does not always rule the ways of fashion, and for the actual decision one will have to wait until the fall styles have actually been created and imported. All that can be said is that skirts are still short. Not a long one has been seen upon the landscape. The Sleeve Lengths. Sleeve lengths are almost as important. In fact, just at this season they are really more important, for sleeves have taken on such a tendency to fluctuate that one scarcely knows what is right and what is wrong about them. Anything goes as long as it is well done, and whether the long sleeve or the short sleeve or the three-quarter sleeve is the most fashionable is a fact that is hard to establish. Many of the latest Parisian reports tell of sleeves which are longer than they have been, but then, Parisian sleeves have always been extremely short—shorter, in fact, than most of ours. They are showing and wearing sleeves of three-quarter length and sleeves that end below the elbow, having there a wide and flowing opening. There are some very chic new things, too, that show long and tightly fitting sleeves clasping snugly over the hands. They look beautiful, after so great a quantity of abbreviation as has been our portion during the last couple of years. But here, as with the skirts, there is no telling what will be the wild popularity after the fall openings have actually been held and after the winter modes have been launched. Only, a change is due, and just how it will come or what form it will take is hard to foretell exactly. At present any length of sleeve is a good length, and there is ample opportunity to adapt the length and the shape of the sleeve to the proportions of the individual arm and figure. In playing with the lengths and the general tightness much that is beautiful can be and has been accomplished this last season. Also much that is executable has been allowed to live because not enough conscientious thought and attention has been applied to the problem in hand. Platts have had a wonderful run of popularity, but upon many of the new models platts are seen revived in many ways. Evening Gowns in Paris. The between-season evening gowns that are being created in Paris, mostly for the Parisian trade, are extremely simple in outline. Many of them, a report says, are made of heavy crepes in solid colors. The skirts are draped and the bodices are made quite simply, with little or no sleeves about them. Since lace is so extremely popular one finds additions of lace on otherwise quite simple frocks—as an edging for an underskirt (this is an extremely good fashion) or as a trifling addition to a bodice. The whole lace gown is certainly popular. It is seen THE WORLD'S FASHION Between-season creation by Cherruit, illustrating afternoon gown of orange crepe de chine, with embroidery in silver threads. Between-season creation by Cherruit, illustrating afternoon gown of orange crepe de chine, with embroidery in silver threads. everywhere, and every day the leading designers are adding new lace frocks to their collections. At the fashionable evening gatherings in Paris many lace frocks are seen, many of them being of black chantilly draped over cream-colored satin. One lace frock was made in chemise fashion and had a train square in shape set on at the shoulders and allowed to sweep over the floor after the gown, which was quite short as to skirt. This was of black lace over white, and the train was also built from the lace laid over the satin.

He says in substance it is immaterial as to which presidential candidate we vote for, so long as we see to it that on the congressional ticket we vote only for our friends. This is buncombe, pure, simple and unadulterated and wholly unworthy a man of Dubois’ mentality. Dubois knows, or should know, that nothing can be gained in putting over any policy by any party only partially in power. A democratic, republican or socialist president, if you please, would have his hands tied by giving him a congress of an opposing party. In the present crisis the contest lies, as Dubois himself admits, between the two old parties. Neither the So- cialist nor the Labor party, both of which he regards with favor, has any ‘nope of coming into power. — This he admits. If this be true, our duty is plain. We must elect either a republican administration or a demo- cratic administration. And what self- respecting colored American, what- ever may be his views on the issues before the country today, with the at- titude and record of the democratic administration towards our group be- fore him, ean vote for the perpetua- tion of that policy? None. Granted that there is small choice in rotten apples; yet there is a choice. The Monitor belongs to that group of race journals that is not by any means wholly .satisfied with the attitude of the republican party towards our loy- al group during the last twenty years during which it seems to have fallen into the hands of weak and spineless men who were willing tobtow to lily- whiteism. But this we do know, that our only hope for securing the legis- lation and relief that we demand lies in the return of the republicans ‘to power. This is the duty of the hour. To this we should bend every energy. To this task the Monitor consecrates itself. If then having by our votes returned the republicans to power, and they cannot be elected without our vote, and they again fail us, our duty will be as plain four years hence as it is now to “turn the rascals out.” Four years hence our group may follow DuBois into the Socialist Par- ty, the Labor Party or some other party which may give promise to be the party of the masses rather than of the classes, but in this year of grace there is only one thing to do and that is to leave nothing undone to elect Harding and Coolidge and a republican congress to back them up, and upon whdm may be placed the responsibility, unlet and unhindered, of carrying out a legislative program that will insure justice and prosperi- ty to all American citizens in gener- al and grant to our group that free- dom from those specific grievances sas whieh we justly complain and which we will not cease to protest until they are removed and we are treated in every respect as Am- erican citizens enjoying every con- stitutional right to which we are en- titled be it in Georgia or Nebraska. In the present campaign, our duty is clear. As self-respecting men and women, there is only one thing for us to do and that is to vote for a repub- ‘Yiean administration to be placed in ‘power at Washington. This is the duty of the hour. None will be mis- Jed by the false advice of DuBois. 4 “BE-LEAGUERED PEACE” E history of our government dur- T ing the last six or seven years manifests generally a vast divergence between, or an absolutely incompati- bility of, the president's purposes and the people's practicability. As a result the nation is lacking in governmental stability and in fixed and definite policy at home and abroad because of the president's uncompro- mising stand relative to his league of nations. It might be said, of its own initia tice, the democratic party won the na- tional election of 1916. President Wilson, playing his game, made peace the issue of the democratie party contrary to the nonpartisan na- ture of peace or war. However, the president’s party was returned to power upon his peace promise, with the president playing the game that he controlled and his party adopted. ‘As we remember the actual hap- penings relative to the peace promise, we got peaceless war abroad and peaceless peace at home. ‘The suspense of national stability has no doubt taught the American people that politics must cease to be a mere game based upon chances of deceiving our citizenry, but must be purpose for common good based upon principles of truth logically bene- ficial. Now we have the democratic party’s paradoxical situation that savors of effrontery. Before election, we must not part with peace upon any condition; after election, we may only have peace upon condition. It is singular how the parting with peace before the war could be so bit- terly protested and its rightful re- turn after the war sy succesfully pro- hibited. | The nation has paid for peace in| blood and service and ought to have it, and such status forthwith declared| consistent with the peace resolution of the senate. ‘The president-has said the nation entered the war against Germany to make the world safe for democracy. It is contended that such as the na- tion's object for entering war was a misstatement of the fact. The nation, not without precedent, entered the| war to maintain the freedom of the seas. Once before, in 1812, our na- tion entered war againsi England for freedom of the seas. Now this nation has not the consti- tutional right to engage in war to maintain the freedom of the seas for any other nation, much less for the world. To make the big world safe for democracy is an expedition upon which this nation ray not engage, being prohibited by its own organic law, and making of other nations safe for any purpose being prohibited by their organic laws. ' Tt has been almost two years since the hostilities of war ceased and the war is not legally ended by the declaration of peace because the president disapproves of peace unless it is encased in the cumbersome and dangerous league of nations. ‘The nation has long since prepared ‘our peace for any presentation cere- ‘mony, “bound up” in the suffering of its soldiers and the sacrifice of its citizens and sealed with the blood of its patriots; therefore, our property of peace is princely and priceless enough without the decorations of in- ternational ribbons and partisan seals. ‘The league to which our govern-| THE MONtTOR ment should attain is national, not international. It should aspire not so much for @ league of nations abroad, but—first—for a league of states at home, bent upon the righteous co- ordination of their governments and making the national constitution their supreme law in spirit and in fact. NOT COMING AS STRIKEBREAKERS O@ of the local dailies carried a statement last week credited to E, W. Pryor, president of the Colored Commercial Club, to the effect that 2,500 Negroes had come to Omaha within the past month and that 2,500 more were on their way to this city. Naturally, in the face of threatening labor conditions, this statement could have nothing less than a disquieting effect. The Monitor knew the state- ment was not true, for nothing like this number of our people have come to Omaha within year, to say noth- ing of a month, We felt that Mr. Pryor, who is generally guarded as to his statements, had been misquoted; but to make sure we interviewed him. He states that he told the reporter that since the Des Moines training camp closed, or our entrance into the war between 2,000 and 3,000 Negroes ‘had come to Omaha and others were on the way. This estimate is conservative. As a matter of fact, there is a steady stream of migration into northern and western states, and Nebraska will un- doubtedly get her proportion. Those who have come are in the main indus- trious, law-abiding, hard-working peo- ple. They are buying homes and will become a substantial addition to our citizenship. ‘These people are not coming as strikebreakers or labor cheapeners, but as free American citi- zens secking better inudstrial, eduea- tional and civil opportunities. It is safe to say that within the next few years Omaha’s colored population will have radically increased; but there is no reason why they cannot become an asset in citizenship of which we need not be ashamed. The Monitor will be quick to oppose any concerted move- ment, that may come to its knowledge, to Import members of our race here as stirkebreakers or to use our group in any manner that may lead to explotta- tion or to the inelting of hatred and ill-will between the races, Which shall be equally fearless and insistent in de- manding a square deal for our people both from capital and organized labor. Honesty and square dealing never give cause for fear. Ca Thomas is dead.” How this message saddened our heart. We had seen him but a few days ago apparently in the best of health and never dreamed that the angel of death was hovering hard by with a mesage for him. Of strong physique and athletic build and not yet fifty years old, those who knew him, and to know him was to love him, little thought that he would be 0 saddeniy entled.

One of our warmest friends. For twenty years or more he was reporter and subsequently city editor on the Omaha Bee. Our friendship began over thirty years ago when he was leaving for the University of Michigan. We were then a student in the Seabury Divini- ty School, spending our first vacation n Omaha. He was a tall, well-built, pleasant-faced youth of eighteen. We gave him a letter of introduction to George P. Codd, a sophomore at Ann Arbor, and now Judge Codd of De- troit, Mich., who with ourself was the more or less famous battery of the Detroit High school base ball club of 1886-7. Codd has recently won out in the Michigan primaries as a candidate for Congress. George and Charley became fast friends ,“A2,” now Congressman Jefferies, was also at Ann Arbor then and played on the same team with Cobb and Charley. And so Charley Thomas’ friendship and ours dated from the time of our giving him a letter of introduction to Codd. We have been friends through all’ these years. As a newspaper man, and newspaper men gre in position to show and do show many kindnesses to their fellow men, if there was any favor Charley could show us it was a pleasure for him to do so. His summons home to us has been indeed a shock. Our sympathy goes out to his loved ones who remain. For him we have no fear. When we are called may we hear the voice of Charley Thomas greet us cheerily as of old, “Hello, Father John Albert, how are you? T'm glad to see you” and may our reply be as it was the last time we met in the Bee office a few days ago, “Alright, Charley, how are you?” And may it indeed be well with us both in His sight who judgeth right- eously and rewardeth every man ac- cording to his work.

UNANIMOUSLY ENDORSE HARDING AND COOLIDGE Ordinarily Non-Political the B. M. C. Deems It a Duty to Endorse Repub- lican Party Because of its Pledge to Suppress Lynching and to Re- move Other Evils. (By Associated Negro Fess.) WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 23—The ‘Twentieth B. M. C. known as the Bi- ennial Movable Committee of the G. U.U. 0. 0. F. of America. The legis- lative body of the order composing a membership of 400,000 Odd Fellows met here September 13th. ‘The Convention of the Grand Unit- ed Order of Odd Fellows is composed of delegates from Delaware, West Virginia, Maryland, South Carolina, New York, New Jersey, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Georgia— over 300 delegates being present fron that state; Ohio, Arkansas and other states of the union. ‘The mayor of the city of Wilming- ton welcomed the delegates on be- half of the state of Delaware. Dr. Cornwell Banton welcomed them on behalf of the citizens of Wilmington. Horonable Henry Lincoln Johnson, Ex-Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia under President Taft responded on behalf of all the dele- gates of the country. Resolutions were passed by the Convention of Odd Fellows unani- mously, endorsing Harding and Cool- idge. They said: “Since the protection of the life of the citizen is the first concen of every government and is the constitu- tional guarantee of every American citizen and, Whereas, the unchecked aggression of mob violence disgraces democracy and mocks the constitu- tion and that mandates over foreign countries we regard as subordinate to mandates over the violators of law in our country, end that the League of Nations as to how countries should vote is of secondary consideration in ‘a republic where all of its citizens have not the right to vote; we were outraged by the nutrality of Belgium, but we regard the absolute subjuga- tion of Haiti and the mockery made of the Haitian Republic of Santo Do- mingo by the present admniisrtation as contrary to the spirit of genuine democracy and fair play throughout the world. “Therefore, the B. M. C., while or- dinarily non-political, endorses the Republican party because it de- nounces the crime of mob violence and lynching the denial of citizens the right to vote, the discrimination of American citizens because of color in the exercise and privileges given to every other American citizen by the democratic party. Therefore, it pledges its support to Senator Warren G. Harding, the nom- inee for president and to Governor Coolidge for vice president, because they stand pledged by their past rec- ords and their utterances since their nomination to the eradication of these evils in the government of this coun- try.” Concerning the Violin... Fundamentals The teacher can onl; ppl he pupil with the violinistic equipment the pupil must use it. There is tone for instance. The teacher cannot make tone for the pupil, the teacher can only show him how tone can be made. Sometimes a purely physiological reason makes it almost impossible for the pupil to produce a good na- tural tone. If the finger tips are not adequately equipped with “cush- ions” and a pupil wishes to use the i * A My “ Clarence Desdunes vibrato, there is nothing with which he can vibrate. There is a real mean- ing, speaking of the violinist’s tone, in the first place he has it at his finger tips. Then there is the matter of slow practice, it rests with the pupil to carry out the teacher's in- structions in this respect. One reason for my success when I started to study with Miss Emily Cleve, I adopted this slogan, “I be- lieve in Miss Cleve” and her teaching. I no longer thought of my past teach- er’s instructions but followed the in- structions of my new teacher. The average pupil practices too fast and is too eager to develop his art as a money maker. Many a gifted student takes up orchestra playing but he can not do this continuously and ever hope to be a solo artist. Four hours of study work may be nullified by a single hour of orchestra playing. Mu- sically it is broadening of course but I am speaking from the standpoint of the student who hopes to become a solo artist. An opera orchestra is es- pecially bad in this way, in the sym- phonic ensemble more care is used but in the opera archestra they em- ploy the right arm tremolo and there is a great deal of camouflage re- garding string playing in an opera orchestra. Lessons are often made all too short; 2 teacher cannot give a pupil much in half an hour, it is not a real lesson and a pupil does not derive much benefit in this way. ‘The serious student should practice not less than four hours a day pre- ferably in twenty minute intervals as practicing too long at one time is apt to tire the brain. And since the fingers are controlled by the brain it is best to relax for a short period be- fore going on. Mental and physical control must always go hand in hand. However, through experience I find that four hours of intelligent, con- sistent practice work are far better than eight or ten hours of fatigued effort. "Fundamental teaching, with the power of the teacher to bring out the latent talents of the pupil, combined with the good hard study and prac- tice on the part of the student, has helped to bring many a promising young artist to the front.

(The Monitor announces with plea- sure the addition of another depart- ment to our publication which we feel sure will be weleomed by our readers. “Helps for the Housewife” will be edited by Fred D. Gamble of Chicago, a chef of experience, who will furnish practical suggestions and recipies which housewives will find valuable. His column begins with this issue. Introduction. My object in contributing this col- ‘umn is to give little helps and sug- gestions and a variety of dishes for the housewife who would be econom- jeal and efficient and save herself many steps in the kitchen. ‘The proper preparation and gar- nishing of the many dishes is the foundation of success in this work. Care in the preparation and clean- Jiness in the work go hand in hand, so I will give some suggestions for the kitchen and home as I go along. Utensils Needed.

The number of the articles here named will of course depend ‘upon the needs of the housewife un- less otherwise noted. - Here is the list, a clock, one wooden spoon for cake making, one set of tin measures, a meat board, a large kitchen fork, chopping knife, a colander, one each coarse and fine gravy strainer, (these can be used for sauees and soups; a wooden chopping bowl, a meat cleav- ‘er, a mixing bowl, one each large and ‘small graters, one pair of scales, a waffle iron, a cake turner, two large spoons, a flour sifter, a ean opener, a cork screw, a chopping knife, a lem- ‘on squeezer, a dredging box, an apple corer and pineapple knife, (combina- tion). and a paring knife, | ‘There are many other articles and utensils which I suppose the house- wife will have on hand.

The National Baptist Convention has just closed its fortieth annual session in this city, which is said to be one of the greatest in its history and was attended by fully 8,000 people from all parts of the country. One of the features of the convention was the appointment of a committee of 20 to confer with Senator Warren G. Harding, Marion, O., republican nominee for president of the United States. The delegation was headed by President E. C. Morris of Helena, and Secretary R. N. Hudson of Selma, Ala.

For having watched your acts as a great christian statesman, we believe that when elected you will be the president of all the people of our great country. The platform adopted by your party and your speech of acceptance appeal to us, as we believe they do, to an overwhelming majority of the American people, as worthy of the hearty support of all patriotic Americans. "The people we represent are, and ever have been, one hundred per cent Americans, and have proven it from the days of Crispus Attucks in Boston to the time when the news of the Armistice was sounded by the bugle in Argonne Forrest barely two short years ago. We believe that it was your good nature and high sense of justice which prompted you in your speech of acceptance to acknowledge the valor of the four hundred thousand black boys who so cheerfully put their necks under the yoke of American patriotism, to secure for all people universal democracy. These brave black boys expect as a reward: the security, protection and all the unqualified rights of American citizens as provided in the laws of our country. This much they have a right to expect and will not be satisfied with less, for the republic must be strong enough to enforce its laws if it is to survive." Every session of the convention was freighted with interest. Senator Watson delivered an address of welcome as did Governor James P. Goodrich. It was decided to erect a publishing house in Nashville, and plans were laid to raise money for that purpose. Three men were named as members of the National Baptist Publishing Board, of which Dr. R. H. Boyd is secretary, the court having decided that the convention had an equity in the plant. The convention accepted the invitation from Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago to hold its next annual session in Chicago. WOULD PREVENT INTERMAR- BAGE OF REDS AND BLACKS Governor Hobby to Be Asked to Present Bill to Texas Legislature Forbidding Intermarriage of Black and Red Races. Wealth of Osage Indian Lands Underlying Motive. (By Associated Negro Press.) FORT WORTH, Tex., Sept. 16.—In an effort to save the Indian race from further intermingling of Negro blood, C. B. Trailer of Hominy, Okla., son of the chief of the Osage tribe, will ask Governor Hobby to present to the next Texas legislature a bill preventing the intermarriage of Indians and Negroes. Through his efforts Oklahoma already has such a law and a similar law was recently passed in Louisiana. He believes that it is imperative that Texas enact the same legislation. The Osage tribe is the wealthiest in the United States and one of the most advanced. Its lands are rich with oil and its per capita wealth in the hands of the government mounts into the millions of dollars. The Indian leader declares that the time has come for the Indian to take his chance with the other citizens of the republic. He declares that the aborigine has been an unwilling ward of an unwilling government for many years and that it is now time for him to look after himself. "No aboriginal race has shown finer native qualities than the American Indian in this state who is fre from Indian blood," Trailer declared. "If we can get laws passed in each state prohibiting his intermarriage with the Negro race and lend a helping hand for a while to stimulate him in his development, he will contribute useful and important elements to the future citizenship of our lands. "At the same time that we are encouraging the immigration of foreigners and their assimilation by our people we should not neglect a like treatment of the Indians, who have far more promising qualities than many of the foreigners who seek our shores."

The trustees of the school districts adopted resolutions thanking Mr. DuPont for his generous gift. Many persons admired the school buildings, which are substantially constructed and fully equipped. EDITOR KEMP GIVEN LARGE VOTE AT PRIMARIES (By Associated Negro Press.) Detroit, Mich., Sept. 23.—Editor Wm. P. Kemp of the Detroit Leader made an excellent showing in his recent race for the Legislature from this city. Kemp received 10,246 votes. There were 46 candidates, running and 11 were to be nominated. Mr Kemp was greatly handicapped by being stricken ill just on the eve of the campaign and was unable to take any active part in the fight which he would undoubtedly have won by a good margin had been able to even direct the energies of his friends, who so nobly came to his aid and rendered herculean service in their efforts to put him over.

In addition he is to have charge of the football eleven. Capt.

Since his return from France, where he had the distinction of receiving a citation for exceptional bravery in action, not only from his regimental and divisional commanders, but also from Gen. John J. Pershing himself, he has been in the Register of the Treasury Department office in Washington. (By Associated Negro Press.) COLUMBUS, Ohio., Sept. 23.—The National Baptist Convention presided over by Dr. E. P. Jones, Evanstan, Ill., held its 40th annual session here this week. It is estimated that two thousand delegates were in attendance in the convention and the woman's auxiliary. Throughout the week the reports of the eight different boards were read by their secretaries showing the scope of activity of the convention through its several arms during the past year. The local committee had charge at the night sessions, and the various welcomes from business, political, social and civic organizations were made. The official opening of the Women's Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention occurred at the Long Street Baptist Church. Mrs. G. DeB. Ashburn presided. 200 members of the convention took a special train and under guidance of Henry Lincoln Johnson, National Committeeman from Georgia, visited Marion, Ohio, where they were addressed by Warren G. Harding, Republican candidate for President. Dr. E. P. Jones was re-elected president; E. H. Branch of Texas was elected Treasurer. PROTECT LONGSHOREMEN (BY Associated Negro Press.) BROOKLYN, N. Y., Sept. 23.—Determined to break the non-working conditions among the Irish longshoremen for the last two weeks on the White Star piers, officials of the line adopted radical measures The Irish longshoremen "vacationists," who have been out since the Baltic arrived were ignored and no appeal was made to them to come to work. This firm has 200 Negro longshoremen ready at the outside of the pier at 7 a. m. Two seorgeants and 25 policemen were ready to suppress any rioting, but there was no disorder. R. wood, the commercial name applied to a beautiful wood used for ornamental furniture, derives its name from the fact that when the tree is cut the fresh. wood possesses a strong ose-like fragrance. Mary, aged 4, was pulling her baby brother in a wagon when the baby hipped over and began to cry. When she took him to her mother and told her about it her mother asked: "What did you do when the baby cried?" Mary replied: "I got scared to death just as quick as I could." BAPTIST CONVENTION Lost No Time. A Sandy Inheritance (©, 1920, Western Newspaper Union.) The young man looked fagged out as he came down the road and turned into Farmer Worth's yard to get a drink of water at the pump. "You think you won't stop!" a voice startled him, and he arose to his feet, neither wishing to play intruder nor envesdropper. "Not I," came the prompt response. "I won't say that your offer isn't liberal, for a farmer, but they're paying a dollar an hour for carpenters and I've quite a knack that way." Wayne Delmore had moved on and started for the road. A young man carrying a worm satchel came down the porch steps and swung through the gate. Their paths crossed, Delmore halted. "I wasn't trying to listen," he said, "but it sounded as if you were turning down a job." "Yes," acceded the other promptly, "looking for one?" "I've got to, I guess," answered Delmore in a dull, weary tone. "Any use of a man who never handled a plow applying?" "Abel Worth don't want a plow hand," came the reply. "It's a sort of superintendent or overseer he's after. Crippley, you know, and can't get around any too good. Are you quick at figures, and can you boss a gang of six?" "I did some work of that kind over the state line," said Delmore. "Well, it won't hurt to try your luck, "I want a man who can watch the odd ends and keep the hands straight," advised Abel Worth. "Since my daughter went to work in the town I haven't anybody to keep track of things as she used to. You'll have to be manager, timekeeper and cashier. References? Security? You see, I must know that I am trusting an honest man, although you look that on sight." "I am too honest and trustful, I've begun to think," replied Delmore, with a wan smile. "I have a letter from my last employer. Security, yes, if you'll consider sixty-eight acres just over the ridge, as that." "Oh, you own some land hereabouts, then?" inquired Worth in manifest surprise. "Yes, about a half quarter section. That's my trouble. I wanted to get a little farm and I traded a house and lot for the sixty-eight acres. The seller was a land shark. I've just looked it over. It's all sand and even a weed won't grow on it." "Ah, I understand now. Yours are the third hands through which that triangular piece has passed in the last five years. So they hoccussed you? Too bad. Well, I'll be glad to give you a show. Got any traps with you?" "At the depot—my trunk." "We'll get that later. I will pay you $55." and Worth went into detail, then called his wife, explained matters, and Delmore found himself apportioned a neat bedroom, and was made aware of the nature of the work expected of him. "You can hitch up the sorrel about four o'clock, if you will, and go and get your trunk," instructed Mr. Worth. At just six stop at Front street block in the town—anybody can direct you there—and call for my daughter in the office of Bird & Black, lawyers. She works there. Bring her home." Six o'clock began a new and delightful chapter in the life of Wayne Delmore. A bright, pleasant, intelligent girl of eighteen. Ruth Worth was beautiful as well. She chatted with Delmore all the way to the farm. At the supper table she, as well as her father and mother, seemed glad to make the stranger feel at home. Within a few weeks Delmore was domesticated and a new man in feelings and character. He had thrown the sand land to the discard. "I'm so sick of it," he told Ruth one evening, "that I never want to think about it again. A man was around yesterday asking its price. I wouldn't talk to him. Because some one cheated me, I'm not going to play the swindler in turn." Delmore at the end of the season was an expert in his new position. He was only too willing to continue in the same. Ruth had become the light of his life and he had won the sincere liking of every one about the farm. He was sent for in the field one day by Mr. Worth, who somewhat astonished him with the information that Ruth had telephoned from the law office to have him call her up. Delmore was equally amazed when the words came over the wire: "If anybody comes to buy your sand property refuse to deal until I see you." It was in a great transport of excitement that Ruth joined him in the farm buggy at six o'clock. She had quite a story to tell. A client of the firm had been having the sand of the 60 acres analyzed, as had several other concerns. It seemed that the substance was known as crystallized sand, found, after experiments, to be especially adaptable for the making of fine porcelain. "You will receive all kinds of offers," explained Ruth, "but you will do best to deal with our client." When Wayne Delmore had received a goodly sum for his property, he wondered if an offer of love would meet the approval of Ruth. He tried the experiment with hope, and greeted its acceptance with the joy of a true and loyal heart. is all that is needed to bring one of these beautiful Columbia Grafonolas Into Your Home ACT AT ONCE You do not need to wait longer.
