REPUBLIC CANNOT FORGET The Black "Tirailleurs" From Every Part of the Vast African Continent Who Paid Most Dearly in the Conflict. Paris, France, May 19.—In commemoration of the colored troops of every country who fell in the World War and of their heroism and sacrifice to make the world safe for Democracy, the French Republic is arranging to erect a huge monument at Bamako, in the center of French Africa. The action, coming as a direct result of popular public opinion to immortalize, in some fitting way, the black heroes of every country, who spilled their life blood on the historic battlefields of France, shows that country's appreciation. An official statement from France is of interest Made Supreme Sacrifice MADE SUPREME SACRIFICE "During the great war, France threatened by the loss of her rights and liberty, appealed to the devotion and faithfulness of all her children of adoption. Africans and Asiatics, with one accord and with hearty enthusiasm, sprang to the aid of the Mother Country in danger, and came voluntarily to pour out their life's blood with the best of her sons on every battlefield. But, of all the peoples living under the protection of the free flag of the French Republic it was the black "Tirailleurs" from every part of the vast African Continent, who paid most dearly for their participation in the final victory. Their glorious feats of arms accomplished alongside their comrades the "Pollus" were numerous. They distinguished themselves particularly at the two battles of the Marne, on the Yyer, in Champagne, at Chemin des Dames, Rheims and on the Aisne. France is not a nation who forgets services rendered once the danger is over. For this reason our committee proposes to honor in a dignified and fitting manner her black heroes, the "Tirrallleurs," who fell on the field of battle, by erecting at Bamako, in the center of French Africa, the first monument to their glory, on which will also be inscribed the names of the principal donors and groups of donors. France to Pay Tribute It appears to us to be of worldwide interest that every race of blacks should be afforded an opportunity to contribute their offerings towards the erection of this monument to commemorate the sacrrifice and herodism of so great a number amongst them on all the battlefields of Europe and Africa, and also to record the fraternity of the races and the great part played by the blacks in defense of civilization. Therefore, thanks to the generosity of the French people and your great nation, friend of France, it will be possible for us to have erected a great and durable tribute of heartfelt gratitude. Far away, on the banks of the ancestral Niger, in the midst of the blacks who fought on the Great War for Right and Liberty, and who today have returned to their peaceful occupations, the monument will awake in their faithful hearts the great pride of having participated so nobly in the making of history.

A BITTER DEBATE MARKS PASSAGE OF RESOLUTION By Vote of 148 to 139. House of Repre sentatives Passes Measure Approving $5,000,000 Loan to African Republic NOW GOES TO THE SENATE Forty Republican Members Side With Democrats in Bitter Opposition to Certain Provisions Washington, D. C., May 19.—Extension of a $5,000,000 credit to Liberia was voted Wednesday by the House, together with approval of terms, already negotiated, under which the United States will establish a virtual protectorate over the African republic. The passage of the measure by the House has shifted the issue to the Senate. The Fordney resolution providing the authority was adopted by a vote of 148 to 139 after four hours of heated debate, during which the entire Democratic side and a large number of Republicans voiced bitter opposition to the plan. Forty Republicans voted against the measure. The fight centered almost entirely about the financial plan and deposit agreement under which the United States will send to Liberia a financial commissioner who will assume control of most of the affairs of government. The slim majority on nine votes given the resolution was largely due to the contention of its opponents that it means taking over another permanent dependency. Picture "Another Haiti" Democratic speakers painted a picture of "another Haiti," governed by United States marines and exploited by big bankers under the protection of the United States Navy." Representative Mills, Republican, of New York City, declared, during a revival of the discussion of the securities held in New York, that he learned upon personal inquiry that there was not more than $10,000 lent by New York firms.

The Editorial To Was AMERICA'S REPROACH SOME years ago Tristam Bey, the Turkish minister, upon leaving America flung this deserved taunt at the United States, "Turkey does not burn human beings at the stake." This was just subsequent to the burning of a black man at Paris, Texas, accused of a crime against a woman, but who died protesting his innocence. That was the same incident which evoked the comment from Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister, that "dying men don't lie." We are reminded of these suggestive statements from representatives of civilizations which we account inferior to our own, by the fact that Texas has again been guilty of almost unbelievable barbarism by burning three human beings, in succession, to prolong the gruesome spectacle and amuse the depraved populace which gloated over the agony of the unfortunate victims, two of whom died with hymns on their lips and protesting their innocence to the last. One victim is said to have confessed, under torture, implicating two others. The shefft doubted the guilt of two of the men.

The body of another black man, who is said to have said something against the lynching, was found swinging from a limb. Before the men were committed to the flames, they were mutilated and tortured. Remember that this manifestation of barbarism took place in a Texas hamlet in Christian America, in the shadow of a house of worship. Similar crimes against humanity and justice have occurred and are liable to occur in ordinarily well-governed American cities in almost any section. America must be delivered from the barbarism of the mob or she is doomed. In the light of this latest lynching why in heaven's name does the United States Senate delay in passing the Dyer Bill? "Turkey does not burn human beings at the stake." No. Can America say as much? Why then should America bear this reproach when she has it within her power as a Christian nation to cast it from her? --- THE MONITOR A National Weekly Newspaper Devoted to the Interests of Colored Americans.

MORE BARBARISM Last week a town in Georgia burned a fifteen-year old boy at the stake. He was black and accused of murder. Two thousand people of "the superior race" took part, actively or passively in this orgy of barbarism. Press dispatches say that he was roasted for fifteen minutes over a slow fire to extract a confession from him as to his accomplices. He named another boy, so they say, and then he was placed on the fire again and two hundred shots were fired into his body. The mob cheered and gloated over the agony of this unfortunate lad. It did not occur to any of that two thousand that even if their victim were guilty of murder they were murderers too. Every member of that mob stands guilty before the bar of a just and righteous God of murder. And every one will have to expiate his crime. That is certain. If euch burbursts of savagery and barbarism as this are necessary to maintain "white supremacy" and to demonstrate "race superiority", God pity such supremacy and superiority. THE LEGISLATURE All over the country our people are filling for elective office. It is the proper thing to do. In some communities they have been and will be elected. In others, they have been defeated. That's only natural and part of the game. Omaha, in our judgment, has a good chance this year to send one of our men to the legislature. Let some good representative citizen, who has character, brains and ability, file and then let us all rally to his support. A strong, united vigorous campaign can give us a representative in the legislature. Let's go to it. PINCHOT'S NOMINATION The nomination of Pinchot in Pennsylvania is significant. We are glad that our people there rallied to his support and helped defeat the old republican machine and regular organization which was responsible for double-crossing the race and defeating the Civil Rights bill. Our people everywhere are gradually getting their eyes opened and making their votes count. They are getting tired of being used and then given the merry ha ha, when they ask for rights and recognition. Pinchot is a Roosevelt progressive. WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY GOD BLESS FRANCE. ALWAYS AS TRULY as evil has its punishment, so truly does good reap its reward. We have been removed from the World War just far enough to ap preciate the great trials and sacrifices through which we went in the name of Liberty, Democracy and World Freedom. It is quite human that we cast about for some expression of appreciation for what we did. IN AMERICA, the World War seems to be a thing of the dead past. Our soldiers have forgotten their days in the trenches, seemingly, and on every hand we find those who prefer to talk of anything else but the war. We are busy trying to get "back to normality"—indeed, so busy that even our soldiers are beginning to complain that they fought for a victory which has proven empty and shallow, except on paper. BUT FRANCE, the one France, has not forgotten. France holds to the remaining, but rapidly fading, light of the great Liberty we fought to establish the world over. France will not subscribe to European reorganization until the purposes for which she went to war become the fixed policy of the world. France remembers—and the all the world forget, she remembers now as yesterday the agony and sacrifice of every soldier who stood before the German fire and bled himself white for the New Freedom.

She will not allow herself to forget. Just now there is a movement on in France to erect suitable markings in the form of a monument to the heroes of the Black Army. So unreservedly grateful is France that she proposes a special monument to "Heroes de l'Armee Noire," thereby demonstrating to the world that the blood of black men was as great a sacrifice in her mind as was the blood of the Caucasian. IN ORDER that such a monument may take suitable form and proportions, France has announced that all black men who fought for her and for the world shall find expression of gratitude in the granite and marble to be fashioned and erected within her borders where all the world may see and know that heroslum knows no color, condition nor geographical limitation.

An Art Few People Master Next to saying the right thing at the right time comes the art of keeping one's mouth shut when there is nothing to say.—Toledo Blade. By CHARLES E. BAXTER Copyright, 1928, Western Newspaper Union. Ada was the starriest star lion that Blake & Bexley's International Grand Circus and Menagerie had ever known. They say all lions know a sight more than humans give them credit for, but I won't say yes or no to that. I'm only the clown. She used to purr like a great kitten when I went by, and stretch out the soles of her feet for me to tickle them through the bars. Rub her head? God bless you, many a time I've been inside her cage and run my hand down her back and tickled her ears, although it wasn't strictly allowed. You see, I'm only the clown. And she knew when Tipp had been drinking. She couldn't stand that nohow. She used to growl when he'd put her through her tricks, and stand lashing her tall in anger. You see, lions can always spot anything about humans. But what made her real mad was when Tipp had been beating his wife. How do I know? Well, in a way I have to watch things. You see, I'm only the clown. Nancy Tipp had been as pretty as a picture when Tipp married her. One of those little doll-like women who take to men like Tipp for some reason that nobody'll ever know. A regular angel in disposition, too. High-trapeze performer, and bred in the business, and that's apt to sour some women, but it hadn't sourced Nancy Tipp. She idealized him, in spite of everything, and wouldn't look at any of the boys who used to cast eyes at her, though there was many a one would have died for her. How do I know? Well, I'm the clown. But when Cassie Bustom joined Blake & Bexley and began roping in Tipp—who was always ready for anything in the female line that was on Cassie's lines, Ada knew as soon as any of us. After that Tipp used to treat Nancy Tipp worse than ever, and more than once I've seen her painting out a black eye that Tipp had given her before running into the arena. She grieved over him, too, for a long time. But after a while she got kind of quiet and bitter against him, and I'd watch him and think how I'd like to bust his head if I was anything but the clown. Yes, sir, Ada knew all right. Tipp and Nancy used to perform together inside of Ada's cage, a kind of gymnastic exhibition, ending in Ada's hoofing Tipp out of the cage and lying down at Nancy Tipp's feet. And as Cassie and Tipp began carrying on more and more openly, Ada's temper got worse and worse, but she loved Nancy, and I think that's what saved Tipp's bacon, if I may say so, though I'm the clown. It was the day before the annual move to New York and Clissie and Tipp had been alone all day. Something was in the wind. I didn't know what, but what I did see, about half an hour before the performance, was Tipp standing alone in front of Ada's cage and laughing at her. If anything made Ada mad, that did. She snarled and showed her fangs, and growled, and lashed her tail, and bit at the iron bar he dug into her ribs. It was clearly his intention to irritate her to madness, and I wished more than ever I wasn't just the clown. When the performance come on that night Tipp and Nancy stepped inside the cage and I saw he had a loaded pistol in his hand. Ada saw it too, and she acted better than for a long time, but there was a mean look in her eye which I recognized for what it was worth. Then come the moment when it was time for Ada to spring on Tipp and roll him over with her hoofs—which is the word I use for pada, being only a clown. And suddenly my blood went cold. For I saw Tipp deliberately pull something out of his sleeve and Jab Ada in the nose. Quick as lightning it was done. With his back to the audience, and quick as lightning he was on his feet and bolting for the door as Ada snarled. And I saw that it was his game to make his get-away and have Nancy torn to pieces, the miserable, skulking clown! My blood went cold, as I said. But it was all done in the flash of a moment. There came a roar from Ada, and just as Tipp had his hand upon the door, she caught him. I saw Nancy run forward screaming, and fling herself between them. And then it was all over and Tipp lay on the floor of the cage, and he would never beat Nancy Tipp again, for his head was half torn from his body. I yelled and ran forward into the cage, and I must have looked a pretty sight with my face white and my spangles, me dressed up as a clown! Nancy was lying in a dead faint across Tipp's body and Ada was crouching at her feet and never moved nor uttered a sound when I pulled Nancy up and carried her out. Of course Ada had to be shot. But, as I began to say, lions know a good deal about humans, and if there's any lion heaven I guess she's gone to it, though we're not supposed to think of serious things like that, we clowns. It was a long time before Nancy Tipp became herself again and she's only just gone back to circus life. Had to do that—I knew she would. It's born and bred in her. Yes, she did find the right man at last and she's happy now—she was telling me so this morning. You see, I'm her clown.

Difficult to Comprehend. Father was trying to explain "Standard time" to little Harry, but Harry was not sure that he understood. "After all, it is no great matter," said father. "You are now only in the fourth grade. When you have gone to school longer, you will learn all about it." "Maybe so," said Harry with a reassuring smile. "The teacher says that even lots of eighth-grade boys and girls don't understand longitude and gratitude." Wayside Tales. The Noble Darling. "Willie," said the mother, "your clothes are wet.

Web 2179, ial | i i "Hermit Kingdom" of Corea [Korea] Kneading Bread in the Street. (Prepared by the National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.) Corea, the first part of mainland Asia to come under Japanese control, has in large part received its material from western civilization at second hand through Japan. And in spite of the American type coaches and even dining cars that are now drawn in modern express trains over heavily balasted railroads, and the trolley cars, telegraph lines and electric power stations that are encountered by the visitors to the chief cities, Corea in many ways still preserves the quaintness of its "Hermit Kingdom" days. It was only in 1882, a generation after Commodore Perry opened up Japan, that Corea, or Chosen, by making a treaty with the United States, gave up officially its policy of exclusion. Foreigners took up their residence with official sanction at Chemulpo, the seaport of the capital, Seoul. Even with this foothold, however, the unwelcome visitors pushed their way but slowly into other parts of the kingdom; and as late as 1897 only a relatively small portion had been visited by white men. Now Japanese influence and Japanese explorers have gone everywhere in the "Land of Morning Calm," and only the wilderness along the Manchurian border remains relatively unknown. European clothing is no longer a curiosity in Seoul, but still the old garb of the natives greatly predominates. The first feature to strike the visitor, in fact, is likely to be this matter of clothing. The universal adoption of white, the singular hats, the footwear, all strike the note of quaintness. White clothing is the emblem of mourning in Corea, as it is in Japan and China; the mourning period is three years. On the occasion of the death of a royal personage the entire population was required to put on white. This custom is said to be accountable for the people having adopted white clothing for ordinary wear, that they might be ready for the inevitable when it should come, either in their own or in the royal family. Queer "Pill-Box Hats." The ordinary hats of the Corean men are aburd little "pill-box" affairs, shaped in general like American stiff straws, with but high small crowns which cause them to sit on the top of the head as though adults were wearing the hats of children. To add to the bizarre appearance, these little hats are tied in place under the chin with plain black tape. Men of wealth often wear a loop of beads, the ends attached to the sides of the brim and the loop hanging in front to the waist. Many years ago—long before the "western barbarian" reached the shores of Chosen—the Coreans were noted among their Chinese and Japanese neighbors for the skill and taste displayed in textile manufactures, and the products of their looms could be found side by side with their pottery in all the markets then open in the East. By the slow but sure degradation of wars, insurrections and invasions manufactures and arts in Corea gradually lost their value in both quality and quantity, until today her people, rich and poor alike, are dependent upon China and Japan for a large percentage of their clothing and pottery. There is, however, one branch of manufacture, the working of bronze, in which Corea easily leads, the use of this metal for domestic purposes being peculiar to this country. The bronze, which is of good quality, hard, and takes a good polish, is of an alloy of copper and tin, with a small per cent of zinc and a trace of iron. The bronze spoons, with which every family is liberally supplied, are models of grace, as are the hibachis or fire-pots, which are largely exported to Japan. These graceful bronze bowls are applied to every domestic use imaginable. The same material is used in the manufacture of tobacco pipes in universal demand, and much taste is displayed in their ornamentation. Seoul an interesting City. Seoul, with its population of over 100,000 dominates the cities and towns of Chosen, and has only one competitor in size, Ping-Yang, with a population of about 175,000. The main streets of Seoul are wide and well laid out. The stores generally are but one story, hardly deserving the title of buildings. The means of conveyance over the roads, for the most part unpaved, is rickshaws, drawn by boys who are swift and tireless. The street scenes of Seoul offer great variety for the kodak, the burden-bearers of both sexes furnishing a constant change of scene; most of them being willing victims, entirely satisfied with a small tip. At the wood market on one side of the main street the patient steer is seen reclining under the weight of a load of logs which would cause a wagon to groan, and one wonders how he will ever regain his footing when his master makes a sale and the time comes to deliver the goods. These animals appear to thrive under their burden-bearing, being sleek and well kept. How They Make Bread. The native bread of Seoul does not seem very attractive to foreigners after they have seen the process by which it is made. However, if its excellence was alone dependent on the thoroughness with which it is kneaded, the bread which "mother used to make" would suffer by comparison. After mixing, the dough is placed on a board in the road in front of the little bakeshop. Then two stainwalt Coreans proceed to pound it with great mauls. It is not claimed that the quality of the bread is improved by the addition of impurities in the way of insects and dust which naturally result from the open-air treatment, but if one objects to eating it, a native will quote a proverb which, being interpreted, runs: "He who would enjoy his food should not look over the kitchen wall"—a maxim not without force in countries occidental. A visit to the imperial palace brings up mental pictures of more golden days in Corea. The buildings and grounds are extensive; a handsome pagoda standing on a small island is surrounded by a lotus pond, a wealth of trees adding to the beauty of the place. During the reign of the old emperor, his fear of assassination was so great that it is said 300 bedrooms in the palace were kept constantly in readiness for him, no one knowing which one he would occupy on any night. Protected by a Great Wall. Protected by a Great Wall. One of the most enjoyable trips from Seoul is by rickshaw past the Peking or Independent gate through a picturesque road winding among the mountains. The construction of the great wall of Corea at this point appears a marvel of engineering skill, so seemingly inaccessible is this mountain fastness. Proceeding about two miles, one passes the water-gate, where the wall crosses the river and where in time of attack the iron gates in these great arches were let down to protect the city. The view of this crossing is one of the finest in Corea. Another ride of three miles takes the traveler to the White Buddha. In the solitude of this wilderness, far from the highway, beside a clear mountain stream, stands a great boulder, on the face of which, carved in relief, is the sitting figure of Buddha. Seoul possesses what is believed to be the third largest bell in the world. In shape and general outline it is of Japanese type. In fact, the Coreans claim that the bells of Dai-Nippon were modeled after those of Corea. The climate of Corea is not very different from that in similar latitudes in the United States, from New York to North Carolina. Structurally the houses are interesting, for the Coreans have anticipated our hot-air furnace by many hundreds of years. Every house is raised a foot or two above the ground, and a wide fire runs beneath the floor, emerging at the other end in a tall chimney, made in the north from a hollow log. When a fire is built at the entrance to the fire, the smoke and heat are drawn beneath the house, keeping the rooms warm during even the coldest days of winter. THE WHITE ROSE By MILDRED WHITE Copyright, 1928, Western Newspaper Union. "The white rose grew high on the old stone wall, just above one's reach. It was a tempting, taunting rose, perfect in unfolding beauty, and it haunted its perfume and swayed in the sun. "And because it was provokingly beyond reach, men strove to claim it, but the flower still bent, as though aloof in its purity, beyond each claiming hand." The girl ceased reading, and glanced smilingly down at the child. A young man on the step below them looked up at the girl. "And that," he said, "is life, the white rose of one's desire, always just beyond reach." As he spoke he turned his face toward the farther end of the summer hotel veranda, where a charming woman sat among her admirers. This worldly, fortunate young woman was very lovely in soft, white chiffon. Her skin was a sort of pearly white, too, and the pale, blonde of her hair gleamed like an aureole. The young man's gaze bent upon her long and dreamily. And presently the young woman arose, and came passing him on the stair. With a careless nod, she went on down the garden path, an eager escort at her side. "I suppose," said Bruce Webster, slowly, "that every man has in life his white rose." "And every woman, too," said the girl softly, her eyes on him. "I don't like that story," spoke up the child, "it has no end." "I have to finish the stories for Muriel," the girl explained, "or she is not satisfied." The girl wore no chiffon, but her simple linen was spotlessly white, and neither was she an heiress, this sweet-faced young person, nor a favored guest of the hotel. She, herself, could not quite define her position in the Webster household. Muriel, her charge, had grown beyond the need of a nursemaid, and Rhoda Brent could not be called a governess. Muriel called Rhoda her "friend," which was, perhaps, the best name of all. Muriel's uncle gave a quick impatient sigh. "Don't mind me," he said, "go on and finish your story." "Then one sunshine day," the girl went on obediently, "a young and earnest knight chambered up the stone wall. Once he lost his footing, but bravely climbed on toward the white rose. He was determined to triumph, you see, in its possession. Its perfume seemed to touch the knight's lips as he sadly gave up the quest—and then, as he slipped back to the ground—well, what do you think?" asked Rhoda. The child leaned eagerly forward. "The white rose," finished the girl, "was lying at his feet." "What did the knight do then?" questioned Muriel. "Picked it up and wore it, of course," her uncle answered, "next to his heart." "That was a beautiful end," the little girl said. "And now please carry me up to bed. Uncle Bruce." Laughingly the young man granted the request, and up the long stairs the three went together. Later, Rhoda Brent, coming alone down to the moonlit veranda, found Muriel's uncle one of a group surrounding the lovely woman's chair. She was singing, this admired and favored guest, and the lonely girl thought the soft charm of the voice in accord with the charm of her person. On the upraised face of Bruce Webster was an eager light. Little Rhoda, unseen, retraced her steps. In her own room with the child's even breathing coming from the direction of that second white bed, the girl knelt in the moonlight before an open window. "I must go away," she whispered. "I thought that I might grow not to care for him." She smiled sadly at the futility of the thought. "My white rose, high on a hard stone wall." "My white rose," begged Bruce, "come down to me please, if but for a moment." Wondering, her heart thrilled at the sound of those unbelievable words, Rhoda went as one in a dream into the garden. "I had to ask you tonight," the man said. "I could not bear the suspense longer. I know how unworthy I am of all your sweetness. O little white Rhoda, and I have not the money that I should have before asking. That's what held me back—but if you will give me the slightest hope, how I will work and strive. But, of course," he caught himself quickly, "you don't care. Else, why have you avoided me? The only time when I could count on a sight of you was at Muriel's bedtime. Because she likes to have me carry her upstairs. Women do not always hide from those they love. Toug't I had almost forgotten your aversion—it was Gloria Dale's song, perhaps, that gave me hope, a song of love. Do not be afraid to hurt me tien, Rhoda. One may not love where we will. It's just the story of the white rose—just out of reach." Softly she same to him, soft, caressing little hands against his shoulders. "Bruce," she said, "Oh Bruce, my knight, your white rose is here, at your feet." ```markdown ``` THE MONTTUR AUNT MOLLY By ETHEL A. LYONS © 1923, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate. "My, but I'm tired!" Mrs. Symmes sank down wearily in the patent rocker in Aunt Molly Magee's parlor. "I mustn't stop a minute. I've been going night and day trying to make this fair a success. The church needs the money so badly. You'll wash dishes for us, of course, Mrs. Magee?" "Of course I will—not!" Mrs. Symmes jumped. "For twenty years now"—Aunt Molly grasped the arms of her chair with two plump hands and bent forward—"I was washed dishes at every banquet and supper and Sunday school picnic in this town. If you want me to help sellin' things I'll go—but I won't wash dishes." "Oh, I'm so sorry," Mrs. Symmes was all sympathetic consternation. "I never knew you felt like that. But about the booths—why -er -I don't know. There's nothing left but the aprons, and Mrs. Lucas has always had them." The night of the fair found Aunt Molly respendant in her best black silk and rhinestone brooch, presiding over the aprons. Mrs. Symmes in the cramped little church kitchen, nervously endearing to keep hot a half-dozen chicken pies on the little two-by-four cook stone, and hoping that Aunt Molly wouldn't bungle things too badly, was startled into leaving her post by a hilarious shout from the outer room. She glanced out the door to see Mr. Conroy, proprietor of the village market, strutting about, his bulky form swathed in a checked gingham apron of large proportions. "Oh, dear," said Mrs. Symmes to Aunt Moly. "Mrs. Magee, why ever did you sell that apron to Conroy? I make one like that every year so that old Mrs. Lane will buy it. She never can get things big enough." "There, now, don't you worry," soothed Aunt Molly, her face aglow, "I made him pay me five dollars for that apron, and if anyone can pry old Conroy loose from a five-dollar bill I say do it." "Cora Whipple, you come here." Mrs. Symmes felt herself dismissless as a rosy-cheeked girl came at Aunt Molly's bidding. "Cora, don't you ever makeudge for Ervin? You needn't blush, but next time you just wear this pink fudge apron and see what happens. No, a dollar's enough, I guess." "Here, Miss Sykes, you buy this oil-cloth jacket and you won't drown your self when you wash dishes, like you always do." Aunt Molly knew her "line" and her customers. At 8:30 she was sold out. Complacently she began counting her spoils. "Oh, Mrs. Magee!" walled pretty Millie Burke, hurrying across from the fancy work booth, "would you help us with those vanity bags?" "Sure I'll help, but you ought to've known better than to make them, in the first place. All the girls may not have gingham aprons, but you should know that all those as would use 'em has vanity bags already. Here," she thrust the box of money toward Milly. "You finish counting that. Here comes Doctor Arnister," as the young doctor's lithe, dark figure appeared in the doorway. "Bet you 10 cents I sell him that old-rose bag for $2. Just suits his complexion." With a chuckle she was away. "Well, what do you think!" I hour later Millie Burke burst into the kitchen, weak from laughter. "Aunt Molly has sold every one of those bags; we haven't a thing left but canned fruit. And Doctor Armister and Judge Peterson—oh, just come and see." She drew Mrs. Symmes outside. Uproar and feminine shrieks greeted them. Mrs. Symmes stared—every male face in the crowd was a work of art. Rouge and eyebrow pencil, lipstick and powder had all been applied with a lavish hand. Conroy's rosey-hued countenance was a ghastly white; someone had used an eyebrow pencil with great diligence on the judge's bald spot; Dandy Smithson's erstwhile blond musache had turned a brilliant carmine. "How much? How much?" Aunt Molly had turned auctioneer. Her strident voice was heard above the hubbub. "How much am I offered for this can of peaches? You, judge, how much? Remember, not one bite to eat for anybody till the last thing's sold. How-" "Great guns." groaned the judge, "pack up the whole business, woman, and send it to the old ladies' home. I'll pay the bill." With a mighty cheer the crowd made a rush for the supper room. "Land sakes!" Aunt Molly gave a feeble chuckle as she wiped the perspiration from her face and lowered her weary body into a convenient chair. "I never in my life see folks have such a good time." Advertising Strategy. "What's the idea of this big sign here reading 'Go slow. Danger?' Why, the road is perfect and without a turn for miles." "That was the happy thought of a publicity expert. He put up the big billboard you see over there on the side of the road, and the danger sign is merely to make motorists slow up so they'll have a chance to read it." ONE GOOD TIME By FLORENCE MELLISH ©. 1922, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate Avis Maine looked drearly out of her third-story back window at the dreary succession of back yards. Avis was tired. She was despondent. Madame Racine had been sharp with her over a puckered facing. The other girls had rallied her about the defalcation of Percy Gaylord. It was not that Avis had really cared so much for Percy, but his brief period of apparent devotion had made a dash of brightness in her drab life, and when he had gone lightly away, announcing the carefully concealed fact of his engagement to the pretty Vermont teacher, Avis had settled down into the dullness of despondency. She looked back at the bleak years. She glanced at the gas jet. How easy it would be! It might pass for an accident and, in any case, there was no one to care. Mimile Slocum might miss her a little at first, and the girls would say, "How dreadful!" and send flowers. Pink and white carnations, with asparagus ferns, were what they would probably send. Avis was a thrifty little soul. There would be at least three hundred dollars left of her scanty savings after all the expenses were paid. There was no one to whom she really cared to leave this. She would have one good time before ending her troubles. She slept better than usual that night. In the morning she telephoned to Madame Rachet that she was ill and could not go to the shop for two weeks; then she went to the bank to draw her precious money. "Now," she said, "in the first place I must have some clothes. I'll go straight to Waller & Weldon." Standing before a long mirror in a modish suit and becoming hat, she was amazed at the transformation. Avis had not walked two blocks before she met John Bradley. It was fifteen years since she had coasted down Stearns hill on John's sled, but they recognized each other instantly. "Why, John! I thought you were overseas." "They sent me home," he answered, glancing down at his right leg. "I've just got out of the hospital—seven weeks of it, and now I'm looking for a job." He laughed sunnily, but his thin, wan face moved her to sudden pity. "Come and lunch with me at Hallet's," she said. "At Hallet's?" he gasped. "Oh! I can afford it," she answered easily. "Gee! I'm glad of that. You look like a princess," he cried, with an appreciative glance at her handsomely draped figure. Did your Uncle Claudius leave you a fortune, Avis? I I heard of his death." "He left me every dollar he had," she answered truthfully. "I'm glad of that," he said again. "You used to have pretty hard sledding, Avis." "I had some good rides on your sled, anyway. Hallet's is just above." They relived their childhood over an elaborate luncheon, then Avis secured expensive seats for a popular matinee. A girlish flower vender alone aud tempted in a great city moved Avis to tears. John laughed and said he was glad she was enjoying herself, but his own eyes were moist. As they left the theater Avis said, "Now let's have a long drive in the country and I'll phone them to serve dinner at the Hoffman house." Before they had gone half a mile the chauffeur was stopped by a policeman. A little girl selling violets in the street had been thrown down and injured. Avis was full of pity and self-reproach. "Oh, John! She looks like Philiss Blake at the Orpheum!" "I don't know. She's a pretty kid," he answered. Avis arranged to have the child taken to a hospital nearby. Three days later she met John at a florist's. "I was going to take some flowers to little Ida," she explained. "So was I. Shall we combine forces and go together?" "Yes, if you like." "Let's get some of those deep red roses," Avis suggested. "Yes, they are fine. Do you know how Ida is?" "Dr. Wetherell says she can come out in two weeks. And, oh, John, I'm going to take her with me. I shall send her to school. I'm going back to work for Madame Racine tomorrow." "To work? Why, Avis, I thought—" "Oh, I've worked there for years. I was just taking a vacation and spending a little money I'd no use for." John laughed and said, as he used to say in the old days: "You're a queer kid, Avis, but," he added, "I shall insist on paying half her expenses. You see, I met a fellow I was chums with 'over there,' and he helped me to get a job—a fairly good one. Oh, you must let me, Avis. I like the kid, too." "Isn't she dear? Well, I will let you, John. Perhaps you want to do it as much as I do." "I have the option on a nice, little apartment in the suburbs," said John. "Couldn't you leave Madame Racine and take care of Ida out there?" Avis glowed: "Oh, I'd love it, but," she hesitated, "wouldn't people talk?" "They might. I think we had better be married. I shouldn't mind if you didn't. We always did get along. What do you say, Avis?" "Oh, John! I said I was going to have one good time, but I didn't think it was going to last right along." PATRONIZE THE STATE FURNITURE CO. 14TH ST. CORNER DODGE ST.

After the preliminary challenge the sentry had ordered the commanding officer to advance with the counter-sign. But unfortunately the latter had forgotten it. "Come, come, sentry," said the C. O., somewhat testily, "you know me, don't you?" "Yes, sir, but I've got to have the password." "You obey all orders of the commanding officer, do you not?" "Yes, sir." "Then why not let me pass at once?"

Success. The Sunday school teacher was doing his best to inculcate lessons of altruism, and had taken as his example the case of two little boys, one of whom was always ready to grab, while the second was willing to share everything. "Now, children," he finished impressively, "which of these two boys will grow up into the successful and respected man?" And as one voice the class answered: "The guy that gits!"—American Legion Weekly. MELCHOR--Druggist The Old Reliable Tel.
