The Old Folks' Home Needs Your Help. Give It; You May Need Its Help Some of These Days LIFTING LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy The Old LARGE AUDIENCE WARMLY WELCOMES PROMINENT WOMAN President National Training School for Women Makes Favorable Impression Upon Omahans. DELIVERS NOTABLE ADDRESS Miss Nannie H. Burroughs Glives Excellent Advice and Maps Out High Ideal for Race. "Stop apologizing for not being white and raise your own race; qualify by training head, hand, heart and feet to render efficient service in the world's work; develop high Christian character; our well-doing will beat fanatical American prejudice to a frazzle" were some of the rich nuggets of advice given last Monday night by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls at Washington, D. C., in an eloquent address at Zion Baptist church before a large audience of our own people with a small sprinkling of whites. Miss Burroughs is a speaker of unusual ability and her address was one of the best ever delivered in this city. Miss Burroughs was introduced by the Rev. W. F. Botts, pastor of Zion Baptist, who paid her a well-deserved and highly eulogistic tribute, which the modest speaker wittily deprecated. She said in part: "The eulogistic introduction to which I have been subjected is cruelty to animals. I am not such a being as he described. In fact there is no such animal. I am a very ordinary individual, like the great mass of people, simply trying to do my bit. If one has any disposition to think himself a wonderful creature, let him ascend to the top of the great Washington monument and look down upon the people below and their dimutiveness will humble him. Consider the height from which God beholds man and he will realize his littleness. We are all little folk, ordinary people, called each in his own peculiar sphere to do our best at the task assigned us." When we shall have done that we will find that we have not turned the world upside down. "Now my task has been that of trying to make Negroes do what they didn't want to do, what they said they couldn't do, what they said they wouldn't do. Some job. For thirteen years I have been engaged in the work of building a training school for women and girls. There is such a tendency upon the part of our speakers to give theories, notions and dreams, that I believe that it is essential to report progress. I therefore report that we have a building valued at $200,000. It is necessary to enlarge our institution. I am engaged in the task of raising $200,000 for the new building. We believe that you should have the privilege of contributing to this work, not only for the good you will do but the enjoyment you will get out of it. The time for self-help is here. It is good to have things done for you when you are unable to do them for yourself; but it is a finer thing to do things for oneself. The time has come when we should help ourselves. And while I do not intend to talk shop, if I can get you to see the big idea and the idea which lie back of the material building there will be no trouble about independence and self-help. It will be morally and spiritually helpful for us. The fundamental thing back of the material building and the great material prosperity of which our nation boasts is not the material as so many superficially believe but the moral and spiritual. The development of character. In a civilization like this the real standing, status, rating of a race is determined not by what it has but by what it is. And the character of a people depends upon the standard of its womanhood. And so our task is to develop the highest type of womanhood, if we are to take our rightful place in civilization. The moral and spiritual forces within the race must be developed. Not until we realize what it takes to win will we make much real progress. We must Realize, Organize, Capitalize our forces. By so doing we will help America fulfill her mission; for the real things at which a democracy aims is the development of character, the fine qualities which make for manhood. Its THE MONITOR aim and ideal is the bringing out of the moral and spiritual forces which will enable black and white to work together and live together as children of a common Father. America is not for white men or for black men, but for men of high character, without racial distinction. "Our race has made wonderful material advancement which delights our friends and baffles our enemies. But be not deluded by material progress, if it has not helped forward moral and spiritual progress. If it has not raised our ideals and standards. "God has given America a chance to see if she is worthy of her trusteeship. If she proves unworthy her place will be like unto that of Sodom and Gomorrah. "A democracy such as this gives opportunity to men of finding themselves and projecting themselves by efficient service. This opportunity is open to the Negro. He must prepare himself for the opportunities that are coming to him. Efficient service, sacrifice, doing and well-being will bring air reward. Well-being will beat anatical American prejudice to a frazze." Miss Burroughs urged her audience to educate their children, to remove excuses for segregation and other undemocratic discrimination, by being neat and cleanly in person, genteel in speech and conduct and in keeping one's home and premises attractive. She cited the fact of migration as giving a golden opportunity to the race in the North for helpful service. She emphasized the fact that while there are at least 12,000,000 of us in the United States, we are only 4,000,000 strong and 8,000,000 WEAK. One-third of our number measure up to American standards in intelligence and living conditions, two-thirds of our number are far below that standard and it is the duty of the 4,000,000 to raise the 8,000,000 to a higher standard. "It is a big job. But it is a God-appointed one, and in doing it we will raise the standard of American civilization and help bring to pass the purpose for which God called into being this nation, not for white men or for black men, but for all men who will measure up to the moral and spiritual standards which make for righteousness." Preceding Miss Burroughs' address several selections were sung by a quintette from the school, composed of the Misses Ruth Triplett, District of Columbia; Olivia Williams, Texas; Geraldine Watson, Indiana; Margaree Ellis, New York, and Virginia Wood, Kentucky, accompanied by Miss Orenes Wood of Kentucky. Several of the selections were composed by Miss Burroughs. Miss Irene Cochran, a local favorite, sang, "We've Fought Every Race's Battles But Our Own", composed by Miss Burroughs. The musical numbers were thoroughly enjoyed eliciting repeated encores. Mrs. M. H. Wilkinson, president of the New Era Baptist Association, under whose auspices Miss Burroughs spoke, presided. SCRPRISE THEIR SUNDAY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT Zion Baptist church was the scene of a very pretty affair last Friday night, August 10th, when the officers, teachers and members of the Sunday school gave a surprise in honor of the birthday of Mr. D. G. Shaw, who has been their efficient superintendent for the past two years. Everything, appropriate for the occasion, was there—even the birthday cake with the necessary (?) number of candles. Short addresses were given by Mr. Leroy Kelly, the assistant superintendent; Mr. H. L. Anderson, state Sunday school superintendent; Mrs. Odessa Harris, state B. Y. P. u. president; Miss Florence Jones, secretary of the Sunday school; Mrs. Irene Jones Reed, Lieutenant Ray Williams and Mr. Earl Hundegan. At the close of the festivities Superintendent Shaw was presented with a beautiful signet ring, as a slight appreciation of his most valuable services. The affair was sponsored by Mr. Leroy Kelly with the able assistance of Mrs. C. J. Bolden and Mrs. L. J. Robertson. ATTORNEY RETURNS Attorney Amos P. Scruggs has returned from a month's vacation, the first in fifteen years, spent in the western part of Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota and Canada. He has returned to his legal duties much benefitted by his rest. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1923 PATTEN STUDIO of such a building as this for our Old Folks' Home, the only charitable institution conducted by our people in this city, would be a credit to our race? Do you want us to have it? Do you believe we ought to have it? Then you MUST help! This is the last week of the SPECIAL FINANCIAL DRIVE for the balance of the first payment of $3,000. By Monday night we must have $2,500.0 in hand or forfeit the $500.00 we have paid and lose this providential opportunity. To reach the goal $1,000.00 must be raised by Monday night. Let EVERYBODY give and this property will be ours. N. A. A. C. P. NOTES Let everyone who is interested in our race and its welfare go to Grove M. E. church on August 19th at 4 p. m. and hear the Rev. Edgar M. Brown speak. The Rev. Mr. Brown is a well known and forceful speaker, much interested in the problems of our community. Miss Irene Cochran, well known to all music lovers, will give one of her popular selections. This will be the last meeting before the delegates go to the convention at Kansas City, Mo., August 29th to September 5th. Come out with a member and join. Help make a good report for Omaha. It is to be hoped that everyone who can will run down to Kansas City and visit the convention. We need more support. The race needs the association more and more. Remember the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill is to come up again. Peonage must be fought and many other problems need attention, not only national, but local. Come out! HENRY W.

DO YOU THINK THE OWNERSHIP is for our Old Folks' Home, the only this city, would be a credit to our race ought to have it? Then you MUST help REAL DRIVE for the balance of the first have $2,500.00 in hand or forfeit the opportunity. To reach the goal $1,000.0 YBODY give and this property will be COMMITTEE ON SPECIAL DRIVE FOR WELFARE WORKER ACCEPTS POSITION IN PORTO RICO Government Recalls Mrs. Grace M. Hutten, Commissioner Colored Commercial Club, to Educational Field. WILL SAIL SEPTEMBER FIRST Mrs. Grace M. Hutten, who for the past three years has been the competent and efficient commissioner of the Colored Commercial Club, has been appointed by the United States government as a teacher in Porto Rico, where she taught most successfully for three years, before resigning to become commissioner of the local organization. At that time she had been reappointed to a supervisory position at a substantial increase in salary, but a desire to be near her parents, both of whom were in poor health at that time, her mother having since died, and the opportunity of being of service in Omaha, influenced her to decline the appointment. The government has recalled her to the educational field at a substantial increase in salary and transportation to Porto Rico. She will sail about September 1. Mrs. Hutten's departure will be a distinct loss to Omaha. As commissioner of the Colored Commercial Club and in charge of the employment bureau she has secured employment for hundreds of our people. She sponsored the organization of the Boy Scouts and other welfare activities for the boys and young men of our city and has conducted a branch public library which has been largely patronized by members of both races, and has been active in the Church of St. Philip the Deacon and other organizations. Mrs. Hutten is a woman of fine education, being very proficient in Spanish and English in which she specialized. Her recall to the educational field is a tribute to her ability. RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN STATE OF MICHIGAN Detroit Life Insurance Company Seeks to Bar Colored People from the Protection of Life Insurance. Atlanta, Georgia, August 17:—"No Negro Life Insurance Risks Wanted" is the decision of the Detroit Life Insurance Company of Detroit, Mich., according to an article appearing in The Indicator, an insurance journal published in Detroit, issue of July 20; 1923. The statement of this company, according to the article, is as follows: "In order to discourage the writing of Negro risks, the Detroit Life Insurance Company, through its actuary, Earl C. Wightman, has notified its agents that no commissions will be paid on such business." According to the laws of the state of Michigan colored people must be treated the same as white people in the matter of insurance, but to get around this legal requirement the Detroit Life Insurance Company will pay no commissions to its agents who present applications from colored people. Officers of the Standard Life Insurance Company, the first old-line legal reserve life insurance company among colored people and located here at Atlanta, in discussing the subterfuge resorted to by the Detroit Life Insurance Company in a statement issued this week said that while the Colored people of the state of Michigan should use every means possible to combat the setting up of such a vicious precedent, they (the colored people) are not without opportunities for securing life insurance protection as there are now a number of well established insurance companies operated by well known and capable members of their own race. WELL-KNOWN WIDOWER WEDS Mr. John C. Parker, choir director of St. John's A. M. E. church, a well-known widower, was married to Miss Emma Mitchell at Tyler, Tex., Thursday morning, August 16.

GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 7 t; se Days ROWDY TOURISTS VENT SPLEEN ON RACE SURGEON Americans Traveling in France Eject Black Veteran of World War from Sight Seeing Bus Enroute to Battlefields. AROUSES GREAT INDIGNATION French Press Scores Insolence of Americans Towards Frenchmen of Color—Deputies Will Act. Paris, August 9.—It is learned that the Quai d'Oursay's somewhat startling communique last week saying that if foreign tourists did not quit baited colored Frenchmen, the government would inflict punishment, had its immediate origin in an incident of several days ago, during a visit of some Americans to the battlefields. A French surgeon, who is a Negro, occupied one of the seats in the big tourists' automobile as it started on the trip to the region of Rheims. Practically all the other twenty occupants were from the United States. They objected to the presence of the colored surgeon among them, but nevertheless the car got under way. A few miles out of Paris the Americans renewed their protests, which led to a heated argument, in which the Americans said they wouldn't ride with a "nigger", and the Negro replied: "I fought four and a half years, during most of which you Americans were not fighting. It seems to me I have as much right as you to go to see the battle fields." The end of it was that the Americans threw the man out of the car and left him by the roadside. The result was a protest to the foreign office. Deputies Candace and Bousse, both Negroes, have served notice on Premier Poincare that they will interpolate the government on this issue when parliament reopens. The Temps devoted an editorial headed "Prejudice" to the actions of American tourists toward black Frenchmen. After expressing pleasure that France sees so many American tourists, the Temps asks: "But why must that they are not in their own country and that all the usages of their country are not necessarily our usages? Their question of whites and blacks is one for our American friends, and the solution they have found shows that a country can at the same time be democratic and also yield to prejudices. "We have nothing to do with the attitude which prevails in America among her citizens. That is not our business. But this is France, and with us the color line is totally unknown. Our forefathers didn't write the Declaration les Droits de l'Homme (declaration of the rights of man) for us to forget its letter and spirit. "Besides, our lack of all discrimination against colored men is not inspired alone by doctrine. We are sincere about it. The blacks, with whom we come in contact, come from the French colonies. Whatever their status—citizens, subject or proteges—they are our compatriots, and we treat them as such. How could it be otherwise when so many of them fought by our side to save France? "That small number of our American visitors who forget that the French republic makes no differentiation among the inhabitants of its immense empire, whatever their race or color of their skin, will, we hope, regard our black citizens as good as the rest of us. They will not forget that their country also accepted the services of black men in time of need. "We promise in return that when we are in the United States we will obey the dry law which American legislation has imposed on every one. And we expect our visitors to obey our rule, which proceeds not from law, but from our character and customs, in virtue of which all Frenchmen form one grand family, from which none of them is disinherited." Mrs. Joseph LaCour entertained a large children's party on Saturday afternoon at her home on Maple street for Virginia Jones and Gloria Griffin of Des Moines, Ia., who have been visiting the grandmother of Virginia, Mrs. Jones, the past month. Thirty-five children enjoyed a very happy afternoon and all had their picture taken.

JUST CAUSE FOR PRIDE THOSE who had the privilege of hearing the able address delivered by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls, Washington, D.C., Monday night at Zion Baptist church, must have felt their souls aglow with gratitude to God and justifiable pride for His gift to us of such noble women as she and others who are rendering such efficient service to our race in particular and humanity in general. As a speaker, Miss Burroughs stands without a peer. Her diction is elegant. Her command of shaste, classical English is masterly. Her delivery is forceful and dramatic. Her eloquence is compelling; for it is the eloquence of action and conviction and a prophetess and worker who has a vision, a message and a mission. She is not a dreamer, but a doer. No one who heard her clarion call to service and sacrifice could remain unresolved to address himself or herself in his own sphere of usefulness to the great task before us in this land of our nativity with the determination to do his or her best. We have just cause to be proud of such women as Miss Burroughs, who exemplify the possibilities of our people. And she is only one of many. There is Lucy Laney of Augusta, Ga., and Artemisa Bowden of San Antonio, Tex., and others, who, altho, they have not the eloquence of Miss Burroughs in speech, have the same eloquence in action, and are doing an educational work among the girls and women of our race which cannot be measured "by the wealth of Orphus or of Ind". A practical way in which we can show our sincere pride in and valuation of the work which these noble women are doing is by giving of our means for the support of the splendid educational institutions which they have founded and to which they are devoting their lives in developing intelligent, fully-rounded Christian character in the womanhood of the race upon which the future status and greatness of America so largely depends.

The character of the mother determines the character of the people. EARNERS, SPENDERS, SAVERS IN EVERY COMMUNITY our people are comparatively prosperous. They have little difficulty in securing employment. Wages, particularly in northern communities, are relatively fair. The industrious are able to make a good living. The chief difficulty with many of us is that we are not careful enough to regulate our expenses according to our income. Because of this many live up to their very last penny and lay nothing aside for the "rainy day" or time of non-employment which must inevitably come. While there has been decided improvement in this matter there is still room for improvement upon the part of many. In the time of prosperity provision should be made for the time of adversity. In order that this may be done it is necessary to practice a little self-denial. There are many things we see and WANT, but do not really NEED. It would be very nice and convenient to have them, but the important thing to consider is, can we afford them just now. If to buy them means the using up of all our little savings then we should resolutely determine to wait until our income justifies our buying them. This calls for self-denial now, but it will bring big results in the end. Our earning capacity is great. What is sadly needed among us as a people is the ability to save. Making the start in saving is the difficult thing to do. Once begun the saving habit grows. As a race we are good EARNERS and great SPENDERS. Let us become greater as judicious SAVERS. WHERE DO THEY GET IT? THE MONITOR wonders where some of the local movies get the stuff they try to put over on our people? When it is posted in plain sight on their board: "$.00 for ANY SEAT IN THE HOUSE", it means that very thing, and the attempt to restrict any ka Civil Rig of the Revised Statutes of Neb class of patrons, who pay the price, to any special place is a direct violation of the law.

HOW ABOUT YOUR COAL? AUGUST SUNSHINE is warm and bright, but winter is not far away. Have you realized that it might be a very good thing to get in your coal now? FOOTNOTES TO AFRICAN HISTORY FOOTNOTES TO AFRICAN HISTORY (By the Hamitic League) FOOT NOTES TO AFRICAN HISTORY (Mr. Agamennon) Mr. Agamennon, the famous scraper of Greece, was the brother of Menelaus, husband of the cute chicken known as Helen of Troy. They were born colored and at the age when most children are. When Paris, sheik of Troy, skipped with Helen, the Greeks declared a fight fest and buddy Agamennon was made the head military gazebo. Aga was some persimmons as a general and when he was all dolled up in his brass plate and Woolworth diamonds, he knocked 'em silly. Once Aga and his chief side kicking hero, Achilles, got into a hot argument that almost wrecked the war. It was thuswise. The Greeks had left their ladies home and made it a practice of gathering up other folks ladies. In one of the forays, Kid Achilles gathered in a flock of fine feminine screams and kept the prettiest for himself. But Aga objected. He claimed that because he was the big noise, he should have the fluffiest fluffs for himself. He told Kid Achilles if he didn't hawk 'em over, he would take a fall out of his anatomy. Kid objected and retired from the limelight. When the Trojans found that Kid Achilles was off the job, they jumped on the Greeks and almost knocked the daylights out of them. The aga got scared and offered back the chickens, but Kid answered with that famous reply: "Nay, nay, Pauline; any, nay!" When the war was over, Agamennon was warned not to return to the family igloo, but having no where else to go he went. In the meanwhile wifey, Madame Clytemnestra, had another Sheik and that night when Aga took off his boots and threw himself across the bed for a nap, Clytie carved her initials on him with a razor. This was the end of Agamennon, the big Grecian smoke who commanded the Greeks in their war on Troy. It was a sorrowful end, but while he was going, he was going some.

THE MONITOR SLAYS GIANT GRIZZLY, NOTORIOUS CATTLE THIEF Oklahoma Hunter Kills Bear That Ruled Range for Years. Oklahoma City, Okla.—"Old One Toe," king of the grizzlies, killed yearlings on the cattle ranges of northwest Wyoming for twenty years. From now on, however, his stuffed pelt will stand lifelike in the natural history museum at the University of Oklahoma, at Norman, and silently assert his claim to the title, "biggest of all bears." The greatest of them all, "Old One Toe," measures 8½ feet from nose-zip to tail-zip, and welged between 1,200 and 1,300 pounds. The bear, which lost the other four toes on his right hind foot in a trap in 1902, fell before the automatic rifle of Arch A. Campbell, contractor, of this city, who spends his annual vacation hunting big game and catching rainbow trout in the vicinity of Dubols, Wyo. His conquest of "Old One Toe" was unplaned up to the moment that Campbell stumbled on the tyrann of the cattle range, ravenously devouring the carcass of a calf. From the first encounter to the kill was twenty-four hours. "Old One Toe" made wary by his setto with a steel trap and grown gray in the two decades he had outmaneuvered cattle men, was a foe worthy of any hunter. Campbell trailed him all day, after the first shot, before he was able to come up with him for the final battle, which was of short duration. Campbell's progress out of the woods was a triumphal march, as all the cattle men wanted to see the carcass of the bear which had caused them heavy losses. 北条正 Imote Two years ago Hideimitsu Toyota, Japanese commissary steward of the coast guard cutter Acushnet, as a chief petty officer, became an American citizen. He obtained his papers under an act of congress which granted citizenship to any alien who had served with the United States forces in the World war and had received an honorable discharge. A year ago he was notified that the naturalization court had probably made a mistake in granting citizenship to an Oriental, and that a petition was afoot for its revocation. Last month the Department of Justice ruled that it was not the intent of congress to admit Orientals and that a revocation order might be issued. Now through his counsel, Lawrence M. Lombard of Boston, Toyota hopes to fight issuance of the revocation order. Unusual interest centers in his predicament, for his is a test case which will decide the fate of other Japanese and Chinese. Huge Barometer in Munich. Munich.—A new barometer, larger than the ordinary city hall clock, has been installed in the tower of the German Museum at Munich. Where the 12 is on a clock face the barometer has a large figure 71. When the atmospheric pressure is normal the hand of the barometer is at 71. Fair weather is indicated by moving the hand to the right of 71 and bad weather by moving it to the left. New York—Burglaries anesthetized three families in a row of Bronx apartment houses, ransacked the suites and escaped. They obtained less than $500 worth of loot. This method of operation is said by returned travelers to be in vogue among European criminals. Spurned Love Causes Boys to Turn Pirates Ten boys, led by a youth fifteen years old, captured by the police of Chicago in a "pirate" cave along the lake front, admitted they had committed four recent robberies netting them nearly $10,000 in money and merchandise, part of which was recovered. The leader of the band turned "pirate," he said, after his "best girl threw him down." Others in the gang also admitted unfortunate "love affairs."

FOR RENT—Three nicely furnished rooms for man and wife, or men—Webster 4482. Good and Bad KARMA—that's fate, or, more correctly, fate as worked out in actions. That explains so many things that seem mysterious—if we accept the theory that there is a benign providence watching over us all. For instance, take this paragraph which appeared in a newspaper recently: "Henry Judeon died suddenly at his country home Wednesday morning at the age of fifty-five. Mr. Judeon, who appeared in the best of health, was one of our most prominent merchants. He leaves a sorrowing widow and two children, Alfred and May Judeon." Judeon, it appears, was cut off in the prime of life. He left so many things unfinished. It seemed incomprehensible that he should have to go. He left Mrs. Randolph Eckermann, with whom he had been carrying on a clandestine flirtation for several months past. Mrs. Judson had found out all about it, and had already consulted a lawyer as to the possibilities of a divorce. That would have created a great scandal in Mr. Judson's home town. But Henry Judson died suddenly at his country home at the age of fifty-five. There was Alfred Judson. Judson had decided to cut his son out of his will because he wanted to become an artist. As it happened, Alfred had no talent, he only thought he had. He would have forged the old man's name on a piece of paper when he got hard up, and landed in the penitentiary. But Henry Judson died suddenly at his country home at the age of fifty-five. Mrs. Judson had been in love all her life with a cousin. She had married Judson in a moment of plque. She was free to marry him now. If Judson had lived she would have forgiven him about Mrs. Randolph Eckermann and would never have married the cousin. Then, of course, Judson was always careless with his cigars. If he had lived four months longer he would have left his cigar on the velvet tablecloth in the drawing room one evening. The velvet tablecloth would have smoldered, set fire to the woodwork, burned down the house and seriously injured Mrs. Judson through exposure to the cold in her nightgown, besides disgirling Tilly, the colored maid, from burns. Tilly's bean, Andrew Jackson, would then have thrown her over, and Tilly would have married old George Washington, who had been after her for months. George would have beaten her and she would have run away and gone to the dogs. But Henry Judson died at his country home unexpectedly at the age of fifty-five. By the way, Esther Craven, Mr. Judson's stenographer, was leaving him to go to a rival firm which had offered her more money. The rival firm was going bankrupt in a year's time, and Esther, who was the sole support of a widowed mother, would never have obtained another position anywhere near as good. But Judson's successor was going to make Esther an offer of an increased salary, which would keep her with him. It was a good thing for Esther that Henry Judson died at his country home at the age of fifty-five. Judson would have slipped on the sidewalk and broken his leg anyway that winter. There was a skunk family hibernating under the garage. Judson was planning to put in a new floor, and there would have been complications. Judson's partner, Tobias Johnson, had been planning to make away with certain plans that had been kept in the safe for patenting when they had been perfected. He had about given up hope, but as soon as Judson died he unlocked the safe and abstracted them. Ultimately these brought him in nearly a million dollars which would have gone to Judson and his family. There is good karma, but there is also bad karma. The doctor who attended Judson in his last moments being called in to attend Mrs. Marrillo, a fanciful old widow who spent a thousand dollars a year having imaginary allions cured, and was tired of her regular physician. Mr. James Perry, the undertaker, had been struggling along upon the verge of bankruptcy for more than a year. for Judson lived in a very healthful locality. Judson's death was the thing that brought him around the corner. He stood in with the sculptor who designed the angel with out-stretched wings now standing guard over Judson's grave. And then, of course, Judson had a really sumptuous funeral. A lot of karma was worked off when Henry Judson died unexpectedly at his country home at the age of fifty-five. Sudden Shrinkage. Uncle Elizle, after a half day's fishing, was owner of quite a string of good-sized fish, and was very proud of his catch. He had them in the water on a string awaiting time to go home. Fishing at the same place were a couple of mischievous boys, and noticing Uncle Elizle's string they thought they would trade while he was not looking, putting a string of small fish in place of his larger ones. When Uncle Elizle was ready to go he pulled his string of fish out and looked at them, very excited, and remarked: "If you am the fish which I caught, which you am, you sure have shrunk." - Judge. H.

Doesn't Hubert convey a sense of rotundity? Well, in that case Hubert was correctly named. He had always been fat—a nice, healthy fat baby, then a healthy fat boy, then a stout young man. Not a monstrosity with a half a dozen chins —just—well, just fat. Everybody liked Hubert. He had the pleasant ways that fat men have. He wasn't the prize fat man of our village, either. Reginald Bogart—now isn't it odd how that name suggests fatness, too! Reginald Bogart was what might have been called the champion. He tipped the scales at two hundred and fifty. Hubert was only two hundred and twelve. Hubert went in for tennis, too. Reginald couldn't do anything but swim. Oh, but he could swim! Not fast, but—well, such a lot of him swam. But all this leads up to Mary Bayliss. Hubert was mighty fond of her. When he was raised to forty-five a week he asked her to marry him. Mary answered: "Hubert, my dear, I'm awfully fond of you, but not in that way. I'll be a sister to you." This staggered Hubert; he had three sisters and didn't want any more. "Tell me frankly what's the matter with me," he said. "The man I marry must be a heroic figure in my eyes. He must be capable of anything." "I'm capable of anything," said Hubert. "Well, if you must know, I could never marry a fat man," said Mary. Now Hubert adored Mary. Many men would have accepted defeat, for Hubert, like most fat men, had had spells of resolving to become a thin man. He had played tennis in a wicked sun, he had gone without lunch, he had gone without breakfast, he had gone without drinking, he had worn mysterious rubber belts, and he had given up sugar. Also he had taken sixteen different advertised cures for fatness. The perfectly obvious result was that he had grown fatter than ever. Everybody knows that when you notice your fat if it sits up and takes notice, instead of wilting away in ignominy. Hubert had grown steadily fatter. But he adored Mary Bayllis, and he resolved to grow thin or perish. And he started in on a Spartan regime during his vacation, having succeeded in inducing his boss to let him take a whole month that year. Hubert went up into the woods to a little lonely camp and started wrestling with his fifty pounds of superfluous avidrupols. For diet he ate unleavened flapjacks (one per diem) and tinned meat or fish that he caught from the lake—and that wasn't very often. He abhorred butter. He revoked on sugar. Every morning he ran three miles without stopping and then rolled on a log until he could stand it no longer. Then he would stand sidewise in front of a looking glass and see how far he projected. After two weeks of this, steadily persisted in. Hubert discovered that he looked like a very ordinary person. His clothes were getting too loose for him. He had taken in his belt three times. He redoubled his exertions. The third week the fat surrendered and came off him in leaps and bounds. At the end of the fourth week he was thin, if anything. Not noticeably thin, but if anyone had asked you whether Hubert was a thin man or a fat man you would have said he was a thin man. Being rather sensitive about his changed appearance, when his holiday came to an end he sneaked home on the night train. His three sisters had hysteric when they saw him. His mother sobbed on his neck and wanted to know where her darling boy was gone to. But let us draw a vell over that. Hubert washed up, changed and went to pay a late call on Mary. Mary didn't know him when she opened the door. Then she nearly fainted. "Mary," said Hubert, when he had brought her to, "I did it for your sake. Marry me. If you don't believe it will last, marry me when I've been thin for a year." "Oh, my poor Hubert, I didn't mean what I said. I could never marry a thin man," sobbed Mary. "I-I'll get fat again," said Hubert desperately. "I'll get anything you say." "It's too late," said Mary mournfully. "I—I'm engaged." "Mary!" cried Hubert wildly. "Who is he?" "Reginald Bogart." Sensible Girl. Their boat was drifting idly, the sun shone above, and the sea was serene; while she was sitting snugly. Then be proposed. From the opposite end of the craft she gazed at him calmly. Then she said: "As a matter of common sense, realizing that we are in this boat, on water more than fifty feet deep, and that if you were to act as you should act if I accepted you we would be capsized, I will decline your proposal at the moment—but, George, row as fast as you can to the shore and ask me again." "That girl will make a good wife." FOR SALE—6-room modern house, half block from Twenty-fourth street car line. For information call WE bater 2179, until 9 p. m.; after that WE bater 1273.

Mrs. Lena Errin, 1702 No. 38th St. 2-t-8-17 BY ANTHONY REIMERT (© 1923, Western Newspaper Union.) IT WAS because three men had already plunged to death off the new bridge that swung dizzily above the river that Leach quickened his steps as he saw the prowling figure ahead of him looking down into the water. Nobody else was on the bridge at that hour of the night—nobody but Leach and the unknown. And, after all, why should Leach take it upon himself to stop the fellow? Life was miserable enough. Why not let him seek that oblivion that he sought? It was only an undefinable instinct that quickened Leach's footsteps as the intentions of the man in front of him began to be clear beyond a doubt. Suddenly the man threw off his coat and began to clamber out upon the clirders. At the same moment Leach grabbed him. The man began struggling violently. Leach held on like grim death, For a minute or two the other fought with such frencled strength that it was all Leach could do to hold him. But at last he had him subdued. He was a weakling after all, one of those anemic, undeveloped, undersized runs that haunt the slums of the cities. There was the stamp of the slum rat on the wizened features. "Aw, what you want with me? I ain't done nothing!" "You were just going to jump off the bridge." "Well, supposing I was? That ain't no business of yours, is it?" "Well, I guess it is," answered Leach. "No man has the right to make away with himself." "No right, eh? Say, if you was up against what I am you'd feel different about it, I guess." "Tell me your troubles." "You can't do nothing to help me. Why, you look down and out yourself," said the other, inspecting Leach's ragged clothes for the first time. "What you doing here anyway?" "Don't worry about me," answered Leach. "Just worry about yourself. Let's put our heads together and see if we can't hit on a better plan for you than jumping off the bridge. First thing that strikes me is, you look as if you're hungry." "Hungry?" shouted the other. "Say." "The-ee-!" lunch wagon at the end of the box. Suppose we go and have some coffee and an egg sandwich, and then if you want to take the leap, why I guess I won't want to stop you." Grumbling, the would-be suicide yielded. He put on his coat and accompanied Leach to the coffee wagon. "I see," he explained, "I been out of work for weeks, and my wife's sick, and there's a kid, and there ain't no fire, and then my mother-in-law, who brings us food, why, she's always on at me for a wastrel, and—Oh, it's hopeless, boss, that's what it is." "I've been out of work, too," said Leach. "I haven't got a wife and a kid, but if I had it would take more than a mother-in-law to make me take that jump. Pull yourself together, man! Go home and thank the Lord you didn't jump. Where would your wife and child be if you had done it?" "That's true," muttered the other, as he devoured his sandwich ravenously. "There'll be plenty of work in a little while," Leach continued. "You know how things are looking up. Why, say, you were just off your head, weren't you?" "I guess I was," mumbled the other sheepish. "Why, once you get work—you've got a trade, haven't you? Cabinet-maker? Why, man, you'll be earning fine wages, and then you'll begin putting a little aside against a rainy day, and in a short time you'll have a swell bank account, and maybe a car. And you'll be able to tell your mother-in-law where to go." The other stared at him. "Say, that's the stuff, Mister!" he answered. "You're dead right. No more of the morgue for nime. I'm going straight home. And I dunno how to thank you." "Oh, that's all right," Leach answered, and he accompanied the man a little distance and watched him strid ing off in the distance with a hopeful stride. He looked back whimsically at the bridge. He felt the solitary nickel that remained in his pocket. "Gee, that's good advice I gave him," he muttered. "I'm glad I thought of it. I'll get a job myself—better than jumping off the bridge, as I was intending." Land for Britain's Jobless. Plans for settling 7,000 unemployed British families a year in New South Wales and Victoria have been completed by the British government, Premier Fuller of New South Wales and Premier Lawson of Victoria announced upon their arrival at New York. Unused government lands will be set aside for them and provided with the necessary irrigation. The colonists will be given 36 years in which to make the land pay for itself. New South Wales will take 6,000 families a year and Victoria 1,000. The two premiers plan to proceed to Australia by way of Vancouver, after a brief visit to Washington. We Get You, Sir!
