Coolidge and War Secretary Weeks Asked for Christmas Pardons—Whole Race Asked to Write Chief Executive (Special to The Monitor Boston, Mass., Dec. 21, 1923.—The 12th Baptist Church was the scene of a stirring meeting Tuesday night with a big audience, to honor the memory of the 13 martyrs executed for resenting the insults and beatings put upon them and race in Texas six years ago. Resolutions were passed urging President Coolidge, and Secretary of War Weeks, to recommend pardons for Christmas. The keynote was sounded by Rev. D. S. Klugh, Executive Chairman of the Boston Branch, which held the meeting, on "Eternal Vigilance—the price of liberty." He introduced Pres. E. T. Morris, who spoke out manfully. James J. Mullen, chairman of the Mass., American Legion's Speaking Bureau substituted for Gen. Edwards. Rev. H. D. Green, holding a photograph of Sergt. Vider Henry, leader of the fight, another soldier and himself, gave details of the trouble as he knew them on the spot in Houston where he lived in 1917, "not murders but martyrs," he proved. Monroe Mason, national league publicity director and world war veteran, read a letter from Fort Leavenworth showing the men had been disarmed and a shout arose that the mob was coming and it did come. Mr. Mason said the League was not clashing with any other organization working for pardons, but wished all every success in their efforts. Rev. Thos. S. Harten was given an ovation, telling how the League delegation saw Pres. Coolidge and how it was first to get Pres. Coolidge to speak fully on the race question which fore-shadowed his message. Rev. Mr. Harten was the spokesman. Mr. Harten said the race was to blame for its condition because it would not organize under its own leaders. He delivered a remarkable appeal for release of the Houston soldiers. Secretary Albert G. Wolff read the resolutions to Pres. Coolidge for pardons. It was voted to write Sen. Weeks also Rev. Mr. Swain raised $25.00 toward expenses. Capt. L Hewitt and Capt. Simmons spoke very briefly. Christmas Pardon Letter Shower It was also voted to ask the race to give a Letter-Shower for the soldiers for Christmas, by every member sending a letter to President Coolidge asking a Christmas pardon, including request that he abolish segregation of clerks as Christmas boon to the race. Letters to Hon. John W. Weeks, Secretary of War, to recommend the pardons for Christmas are also urged. PEAT, PROGRESSIVE RESTAURANT MAN, WILL CLOSE FOR CHRISTMAS Peat is going to give all his help an opportunity to get off Christmas Day so they may go to church Christmas morning and then eat dinner at Peat's home free. He employs only ten people so meet me at Peat's home, for Christmas dinner after church. Why is it that Peat's Restaurants are never advertised in the papers? Well, those meals he puts out advertise the place. Say, Mr. Peat has done more in working his people than other cafe proprietors. He has been a great help to his race, since he has been in Omaha. He is only working ten people now. Mr. Peat is all right. He is in earnest. His credit stands high in this town. He will pay his bills. If any one owes this man why not pay him and give him your trade. Eat at his places when you get hungry, 1401 and 1710 North Twenty-fourth street. You all are welcome. I do wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Peat's two places will be closed all day Christmas from 6 a. m. to 10 p. m.-Advertisement.

The Windham Brothers' Construction Company of Birmingham, Alabama, have charge of the work which was actively begun December 4th. The construction will be rushed as rapidly as possible with the hope that it will be ready for occupancy by May 1, 1924. The building is to contain the offices, class rooms, laboratories, library and auditorium. The auditorium will have a seating capacity of 1200. The building will be modern in every detail and appointment. The growth of Texas College in recent years under the efficient management of President W. R. Banks has been so rapid that this year more than 200 students were turned away for the lack of room. The erection of the new building will make it possible for the institution to care for 150 additional students. It is gratifying to note that the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church of Texas, under the supervision of Bishop J. C. Martin of Jackson, Tennessee, raised for Texas College and Missions this year $30,500. At the recent annual conference, the church pledged itself to raise next year $40,000.00. MORRIE SCHLAIFER GETS DECISION OVER PANAMA JOE GANS Referee Dave Barry Gives Fight to Omaha Welter After One of Best Fights in Omaha's Fight History SCHLAIFER BADLY GLOVE-CUT Panama Joe Gans, Colored welter-weight champion of the world, lost a close decision in his ten-round fight at the Auditorium last Monday night, with Morrie Schlaifer, Omaha's fighting fool. While the colored representative lost the fight, and in the opinion of the writer lost fairly, he nor the colored people, have anything to mourn over, for he put up a wonderful fight, and mixed with Schlaifer at every turn. In all it was a great battle, one worth seeing anywhere. In the semi-final, Battling Monroe, local colored middle-weight, whipped Carl Augustine of St. Paul, almost with a punch. The fight lasted just a trifle over one minute. The preliminaries were all good. More fights like these and the game will grow better in Omaha. A WORTHY BLIND MAN Have you noticed a colored blind man standing daily at Sixteenth and Farnam street? Have you ever helped him? He is worthy of help. His name is Chinn and he has two small children which he sends to school. Would it not be possible for some of us to help provide a little stand for him, where he might sell newspapers, shoe strings, pencils, etc., and thus making a living without his having to stand long weary hours in the cold appealing mutely and too often without any help from the passers by? At all events during this Christ-mastide, don't pass him by. He is a worthy man. MOTHERCRAFT CLASS FOR WASHINGTON COLORED WOMEN Washington, D. C., Dec. 21.—Colored women of Washington, in considerable numbers, attended a meeting last Thursday night at the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A., for the purpose of organizing a mothercraft class. Mrs. Martina McAdoo, Executive Secretary of the Association, who with other officials, has just finished an exhaustive study of conditions among local colored women, found that there was an urgent need for instructions tending to fit them for the administering of mental, moral, and spiritual development of children. EX-SLAVE, 115 DIES Mobile, Ala., Dec. 14.—John Livingstone, Jr., aged 115 years, is dead here of old age, according to a certificate signed by Dr. S. F. Hale, coroner, who on investigation found that Livingston was born in Richmond, Va., September 15, 1808. His wife was one of the last slaves brought to this country from Africa and lived to be 115 years old. Events in the Lives of Little Men I SUPPOSE HE COMES DOWN THE CHIMNEY AN' EVER 'THING HUM?

Mr. King submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations: RESOLUTION Whereas the relations between the United States and the Republic of Haiti have assumed a condition which is unsatisfactory to the inhabitants of said country and otherwise disadvantageous to the United States, which condition is due in large measure to the presence of the naval forces of the United States in said country and the exercise by the United States of the control of the finances and revenues of said country; and Whereas the purpose of the intervention by the United States in the SIGHTS, EXPERIENCES WHO ATTENDED I (Continued from last week) FROM COLORADO HOME One beholding this chain of Rocky Mountains is filled first with awe and then admiration. It is true the external has its charms but the wealth lies far beneath these rugged peaks. The mineral wealth of this region, in volume and diversity, is not surpassed by that of any other locality in the world. Practically every kind of mineral is found in Colorado. It is said to be the leading gold producing state in the Union. Underlying the surface of various sections of the state are practically inexhaustible strata of coal—anthracite, bituminous, lignite and coking. Petroleum of excellent quality flows from upward of eighty wells. Colorado is also famed for the quality, beauty and variety of its building stone, granite, sand stone and marble quarries abound. Denver, Colorado," cried the auditor. Having friends in Denver we had arranged a visit here. We arrived an hour or so late in the evening and found our good friends waiting. Other delegates were there, some coming in and others going out of the Union Station which is a very comfortable and attractive one. Reaching the streets we were animated by the splendor of its bright, cheerful lights. It is said to be one of the best lighted cities in our country. Partly surrounded by a chain of mountains Denver, the capital of Colorado, is noted as a health resort. One finds many slek there seeking recovery in this salubrious climate. After having a pleasant night's rest the next day we were taken out sight-seeing. The capitol is an imposing stone building with a very conspicuous brass dome that glitters in the sun and can be seen from many parts of the city. Nearby is the mint and the public OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1923 political affairs of said country, the direction of their revenues and finances, and the police of the same by the United States naval forces has been accomplished and there is no further advantage either to the United States or said country from any continued intervention in its affairs: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate of the United States that the President should withdraw the naval forces of the United States now in Haiti and should arrange an abrogation of any treaty, protocol, or other agreement providing for the control of the revenues of Haiti by the United States, or providing for the intervention of the United States in the political affairs of saidcountry, and that it is the sense of the Senate that Haiti should be free from any external interference with its domestic policies or internal administration.

The city auditorium is a large, magnificent building covering a square block. City park is a pretty spacious park of 800 acres with beautiful lawns, sparkling lakes and a large zoo. Standing in Cheesmean park we viewed Pikes Peak white with snow eighty miles away. Our group has some very attractive homes and church offices that are well attended. The old Y. M. C. A. was torn down and a new one is being erected at a cost of $85,000. We were delighted to find the men possessing so much of the association spirit. We were told that this organization grew out of a movement known as the Young Men's Christian Brotherhood which was organized in July 1908, and later was taken over by the Central Y. M. C. A. The men were truly in the lead. However, Christian womanhood is always alert and progressive and where it does not lead it will surely follow. So the expected thing happened when in 1916 the Y. W. C. A. was organized with a membership of thirty-one in the Shorter A. M. C. church bearing the name The Phyllis Wheateley Center. Their last year's report was very commendable: Memembership, 309; girl's clubs, 5; club attendance, 2,511; attendance of educational classes, 1,376; active volunteer workers, 60; girls influenced, 3,224. They have a splendid cafeteria with a patronage of 7,694. Employment was given to fourteen girls. Their most annoying trouble is keeping a secretary. Cupid there never fails in his aim and the wedding bells lure them away to a smaller but dearer association. What a wonderful change we would experience in our North Side branch if our women and girls could catch the real vision of the importance and magnitude of the Y. W. C. A. and measure up to that vision. Let us MINISTERS ALLIANCE WILL MEET MONDAY Because of the fact that Tuesday will be Christmas, the Ministers' Alliance will meet on Monday the 24th. "Dealing with the indifferent or careless" will be the subject discussed, opened by Rev. E. W. C. Cox, pastor of Grove M. E. Church. January 8, 1924, Rev. John Adams is on program to deliver an "Emancipation address" subject, "The way out." January 15, Rev. W. C. Williams will discuss the "Christian Sabbath." FOUR MEN INJURED IN AUTOMOBILE COLLISION Norfolk, Va., Dec. 21.—Junius Jackson, Samuel Todd, James Todd and Mack Hubbs were injured last Thursday when two automobiles in which they were riding crashed together at South Hill on the Great Bridge road. Both machines were badly damaged and Jackson sustained a broken hip. hope that we may. The race population of Denver is not as large as that of Omaha, yet, they are very enterprising and are proud of many business concerns. Have you heard of the Opportunity School? We saw this great school, a large brick structure. The remarkable thing about it is not only Opportunity School in name but in reality, it meets every prospective student without regard to age or sex or color. Many aspiring characters have been helped in realizing their dreams and ambitions in this school. Leaving Denver we left the Rocky Mountains and their scenery behind us and on we sped over many acres of rich farm land. Apple orchards laden with pretty red apples were seen. Reaching a junction in Kansas the Texas delegation that had made a tour of California and the west changed trains here for the sunny southland. One dear old sister for sometime had been singing one of the old familiar Baptist long-meter songs. I am wondering whether it was for joy or regret for return to her old homeland. She had experienced so much freedom, comfort and pleasure in her journey, now to return to the Jim crow cars and segregation, to see the infamous sign "Negro" or "Niggers" here was like a liberated bird being returned to its cage. Objects grew familiar as we drew nearer and nearer to Nebraska. Although we were elated with our trip yet there were home ties that were dear and seemed in the distance calling and beckoning us home. At last we reached Union Station, Omaha. After three weeks' absence things looked new and strange. Like the poet I thought after all there is no place like home be it ever so humble. We all delight in travel and the knowledge and experiences gained. But the real rest and comfort comes when we reach home! GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 25 All FAMOUS ARTIST IS MADE MEMBDR OF FRENCH LEGION Henry O. Tanner Signally Honored by French Government in Recognition of His Painting Achievements. TREATS BIBLICAL SUBJECTS Reared and Educated in Philadelphia Has Long Been Accorded First Place Among American Paris, France, Dec. 15—Henry O. Tanner, American artist and one of the oldest members of the American art colony of Paris, was recently accorded the Legion of Honor by the French government in recognition of his achievements in painting. Mr. Tanner has long been recognized in art circles as among the foremost American artists, his work having won numerous prizes in exhibits in France, England and the United States. His work is represented in the Luxemburg in Paris, the Royal Galleries in London and the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York City. Two of his most famous pictures, "The Three Marys at the Tomb" and "The Apostles at the Tomb" are in the permanent collection of the Art Institute of this city. Mr. Tanner has specialized in the painting of biblical subjects and in this his own particular field, he is considered a master. His handling of lamp-light in his paintings is especially noteworthy and is considered classic by the foremost art critics of America and Europe. Mr. Tanner is the son of the late Bishop Tanner of Philadelphia and is the brother of the Reverend William Tanner of this city. He received his early education in the public schools of Philadelphia and began his art study in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Later he went to Paris to complete his study and set up his studio in the Latin Quarter there, where he has remained ever since. He is at present in the United States visiting his friends and relatives in Philadelphia. Lawrie J. Wallace, the well-known Omaha artist was a the class mate of Tanner at the Philadelphia Art School. THE N. A. A. C. P. HOLDS BI-MONTHLY MEETING The regular bi-monthly meeting of the Omaha branch was held at Grove M. E. Church last Sunday afternoon, the Rev. Russel Taylor, vice-president, presiding. Routine business was rapidly dispatched. A report was made of an alleged effort to have recent migrants return to the South. A committee was appointed to investigate and report upon the same. ```markdown ``` OF THE FATHER'S LOVE An Ancient Christmas Hymn Of the Father's love begotten, Ere the worlds began to be, He is Alpha and Omega, He the Source, the ending He Of the thing sthat are and have been And the future years shall see, Evermore and evermore!

Whole Number 441 Boston, Mass., Dec. 21, 1923.—The National Equal Rights League calls upon the race to use the advantage of the custom of granting pardons at Christmas for the prisoners at Fort Leavenworth prison. It urges that everybody mail a letter before Sunday, December 23, addressed to The President, Calvin Coolidge, White House, Washington, D. C., requesting this Christmas Pardon, also to abolish segregation of Colored federal clerks and to include in this Christmas Letter-Shower one to Hon. John W. Weeks, Secretary of War to favor the pardons. BETHEL BAPIST CHURCH NEWS Rev. Thomas Taggart, Pastor. The attendance was good all day Sunday. Rev. Jesse Young delivered an instructive sermon at the morn- ing service. The junior choir is show- ing marked improvement. The B. Y. P. U. at 5:30 had a helpful session under the supervision of President Landrum. At the evening service the pastor preached. There are several members of the congregation on the sick list. There will be preaching at 11 o'clock Christmas Day. GIRLS FRIENDLY SOCIETY GIVE ENTERAINMENT Woman's Auxiliary Holds Annua Sale of Fancy and Useful Articles Which Find Ready Patrons The Girl's Friendly Society of the Episcopal Church of St. Philip the Deacon gave a delightful entertainment before an appreciative audience at the North Side Branch of the Y. W. C. A. last Monday night. The first part of the program consisted of an original play entitled "Bear Ye One Another's Burdens," written by Catherine Williams and given by the little candidates. The second part was an amusing little play entitled, "The Burglar" given by five of the senior girls, Nonence Gibson, Margaret Murray, Florence, Jones, Grace Adams and Helen Redd. The girls were admirably trained by Mrs. Ada Hill Smith, one of the associates. There were also recitations by Melva McCaw and Marguerite Howard. Those taking the principal parts in the little candidates' play were Dorothy McRaven, Thelma Morton, Sylvia Adams, Celestine Smith and Catherine Williams. At the close of the program refreshments were served by the girls. In connection with this entertainment the Woman's Auxiliary held a sale of fancy and useful articles of which they had a pleasing display at prices which brought ready sale.

CHRISTMAS Chrismastide which proclaims the na- CHRISTMAS with all its sacred meaning, tender associations and ennobling and uplifting influences has come again with the cycling year. And how it gladdens, cheers and warms our hearts. Under its alchemic influence even the cynic becomes sweet-tempered and charitable and the churl liberal. Sorrow and sin and selfishness and hatred and ill-will and unkindness seem stridently and strikingly discordant and joy and righteousness and altruism and love and good-will and thoughtful kindness sweetly accordant and atune with this sacred season. And sacred and holy it is despite the regrettable commercialization which dims but does not destroy its beauty and splendor nor rob it of its sweetness. Christmas tide is the season which lifts man, in spite of himself, to a higher plane. There is an atmosphere of love and joy and peace to which none is unsusceptible. There is a desire upon the part of each to do something for some one else to make some one else happy. Call it what you will, attribute it to what you may subject to any critical analysis you wish, classify it as you please, it cannot be disputed that throughout Christendom at Christmastide mankind is under a magic spell which brings out his nobler nature. Whence comes this influence which so stirs our nobler nature? From the Holy Babe of Bothelem. "Joy fills our inmost heart today! The Royel Child is born; And angel hosts in glad array No sweeter sound than this is heard, EMMANUEL1" "God with us." This is the secret of it all. This is the fact which this season attests. It is the One Supreme Fact upon which Christianity rests. If it were not for this Fact there would be no Christian religion. The fact which Christmas proclaims is that "FOR US MEN AND FOR OUR SALVATION" our Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, came down from heaven and was INCARNATE (made flesh, took upon Himself human nature with all this implies) by the HOLY GHOST OF THE VIRGIN MARY and WAS MAS MAN. St. John states this fact, and bear in mind that it is a FACT, not merely a truth, a fact being something that has been accomplished—and a truth a statement of that fact—in this thought-gripping phrase, "The Word was made Flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father full of grace and truth." The motive of this wondrous act was Divine Love. Christmas proclaims and is the standing memorial of God's gift to the world of His Only-begotten Son because of His love for the world and His desire to draw all men unto Him that none should perish but have everlasting life. To accomplish this, which is only one part of God's great plan of man's redemption, it was willed that "The Son, which is the Word of the Father, begotten from everlasting of the Father, the Very and Eternal God, and of one substance with the Father, took man's nature in the womb of the Blessed Virgin of her substance, so that two whole and perfect natures, that is to say the Godhead and manhood were joined together in One Person never to be divided." And the Incarnation of the Son of God took place by the operation of the Holy Ghost, according to the announcement of the Angel Gabriel to the holy mold of Nazareth, "Thou hast found favour with God and the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee; therefore also that Holy Thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God"; and in fulfillment of the ancient evangelical prophecy (Isaiah vi:14) "Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a Son and call His name Emmanuel; God with us." And it is because God is with us, regarded our human nature as such a worthy thing that it should be lifted up into the Divine and that we should live worthy of our high vocation that our hearts are filled with joy at FACE TWO naturalized in the United States, on thereof, are citizens of the state wherein they reside. No any law which shall abridge the citizens of the United States; nor person of life, liberty, or prop- law, nor deny to any person final protection of the laws. Chrimaatide which proclaims the nativity of Jesus Christ the Virgin-born Son of the Highest. HANDLING MAIL PROMPTLY Postmaster Charles E. Black is due congratulations for the efficient manner with which the handling of the enormous holiday mail is being accomplished at the Omaha postoffice. We do not believe there is a postoffice of its size in the country where congestion is being avoided and patrons more promptly and courteously served then the Omaha postoffice. Charles E. Black with his efficient corps of works is personally on the job. OFFICERS OF THE LAW There has been brought to our attention recently reported acts upon the part of some members of the police force towards some members of our group which are wholly unbecomin- t officers of the law. We are quite sure that Police Commissioner Dunn and others in authority will not knowingly tolerate anything that is wrong upon the part of officers in their conduct towards any class of citizens. It is the duty of officers to arrest lawbreakers and offenders against the public peace, but they have no right to curse and beat and shower vile epithets upon alleged offenders in making arrests. SHOULD NOT BE DROPPED Some weeks ago Bennie Smith, a respectable and intelligent citizen of color, who was serving on a jury in Judge Goss's court was assaulted by a fellow juror because he did not agree with the other jurors in arriving at a verdict. A new trial has been granted the defendant, who is white upon the grounds that Juror Smith was intimidated and coerced into agreeing to the verdict. The assault upon Mr. Smith seems to have been ignored by the Court. The case ought not to be dropped. A handful of New York clergymen, even though they be rectors of large and wealthy parishes, constitute a very insignificant part of the Episcopal church and an infinitesimal part of the great Anglican communion to which the Episcopal Church belongs. There are some New Yorkers, you know, who believe that New York City is the United States. But is it? OUR SHARE IN THE COMMUNITY CHEST DRIVE The Colored People of Omaha went over the top in fine style in the Community Chest Drive. Three organizations had groups of workers among the colored people. They were the Colored Commercial Club, the Y. W. C. A. North Branch and the Old Folks' Home. The total amount allotted through the Community Chest to these Colored organizations was ten thousand two hundred and thirty-five dollars ($10,255.00), and there was subscribed by the colored people according to carefully compiled data by the Colored Commercial Club the sum of ten thousand, six hundred and seventeen dollars ($10,617.00), or three hundred and eighty-two dollars $382.00) more than their allotment. This is the best answer the colored people can make to the criticism of unfriendly persons. All of the workers have reasons to feel encouraged over the showing they have made in this behalf. The Rev. John Albert Williams is the representative of the colored people on the board of governors of the Community Chest and is gratified over the showing made by the colored people in this splendid community undertaking. The Publicity Committee of the Colored Commercial Club of Omaha, Nebr. ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Ray Lawrence Williams of 1702 North Twenty-second street, announce the birth of w son, Ray Lawrence, Jr., on Wednesday, December 19th, at home. (Lincoln Service) "He was negligent," the Court had said, "and as a porter, charged with exercising extraordinary care in the traveling welfare of passengers in his coach, he was not diligent in the performance of his duties. Hence, it follows that the company is liable, including the expenses for medical care and attention during his internment at home, and the amount of income which he would have derived had he been able to follow his usual occupation." Following this, Joe, the porter, was taken off the "Limited" bitterly excoriated by his chief, and fired. He blacked boots a while, rushed a tray at the hotel, ran on the lake boats a season; and then, after pleas and tears, the superintendent had written him that he could "sub" a while on the eastern division. And here he was again—the same old Joe I had known at Hampton. Hadn't seen him in ten years, but he had the same big brown eyes, the same honest voice and the same round smile. "Yes, sir—first time I've had a run in ten years," he said with a laugh, as he dexterously lighted a match and touched my cigar. "I'm only 'deadheading' traffic this way, but I know they're not going to keep me at this very long. Too much traffic this way nowadays; and the boss knows that I used to make up berths faster than any porter on his division," he continued, with a grin. "What was the trouble? Haven't you been on the road right along?" I asked in real surprise. "I should say not," Joe replied. "They bounced me, when a man's foot was smashed in a lower berth. I know it was an accident, but then I suppose the law had to take its course. Anyhow, I lost out; but I'm back now, and believe me, I'm going to stay back, you can bet. And I sure inspected this car myself before we pulled out tonight. They won't get me again for someone else's bum inspection," Joe concluded. "Good for you, Joe; stick it out; You'll make good," I said as I started to forsake the smoker for my berth. "Taint so easy tonight," Joe persistently continued. "I've been helping out Fred McQuade for the last two hours." "Oh, he's brakeman on the 'deadhead' coach in front of us. You must remember him, don't you? His dad, you know, helped me through Hampton. Fred was taken sick tonight just after we pulled out. He's there in upper one now. All I have to do is to look after the rear lights. We cut out the 'deadhead' at the junction. Gee! There's the signal now. I'll hustle out so as to be ready to flag any 'Wildcats' in case the Cap'n lays over here awhile," he concluded as he grabbed a red lantern, while I betook myself to expect sleep. I reached my lower, turned out the light, and, after congratulating myself at the prospects of dozing off before the train started, turned back to the aisle and closed my eyes. "Crash!"—a sharp jerk—the fall of shattered glass, and I found myself in the aisle, with a short gash in my forehead, before I could realize what had happened. Frightened voices added to the disorder. "Keep quiet," the conductor said, as he dashed in the front door. "Nothing serious. Hit on the rear end, that's all. Nothing to be excited over. I'll telegraph the junction and they'll have another car here in a jiffy. We'll e away in an hour," he snapped. "Anyone hurt or killed?" some one anxiously inquired. "No passengers replied the conductor—"No one but the porter; he's a goner. Don't know who he was. If he'd stayed in here where he belonged he'd been alive now," the conductor added. And a great sob from lower one was heard throughout the shattered coach. C. B. F. and S. M. T. FAMILY The U. B. F. hall at 2426 Grant street has been equipped with necessary conveniences and has been made comfortable under direction of Mr. Austin Dickerson, president of syndicate, and Mr. M. C.

To put out your hand to stop it, saves him! THE MONITOR LONG TRIP 100 YEARS AGO Story of the Strenuous Exploring Expedition of Maj. S. H. Long Inte Northwest. The exploring expedition conducted by Maj. Stephen H. Long of the United States army took its departure from Philadelphia on the 20th of April last with the view of traversing the American territory in a northwesterly direction and returning by way of the great northern lakes, says the Franklin Gazette of October 27, 1823. The gentlemen composing the expedition accordingly proceeded by way of Wheeling, Fort Wayne, Chicago, Prairie du Chien and Fort St. Anthony to the source of the River St. Peter. They then traveled over the valley of the River St. Peter to its junction with the Assiniboine, having assertained, agreeably to their instructions, the point at which the forty-ninth degree of north latitude, the northern boundary of the United States, crosses that river. Thus far they had gone by horses, but at this place they embarked on board bark canoes, in which they reached Lake Superior. Here they exchanged their canoes for a battleship, and amid severe gales and storms with snow, proceeded to Mackinaw where they met a revenue cutter, which took them to Detroit. There they boarded the steamboat Superior and landed at Buffalo. Pursuing their journey they found passage on board of one of the New York canal packet boats at Rochester on the Genesee river, and traveled on the customary route to Philadelphia. The tour extended to the fifty-first degree of north latitude and embraced a circuit of more than 4,600 miles, upward of 3,000 of which were through a savage wilderness. This long and hazardous expedition has been completed in the short peroid of three days less than six months, and greatly redounds to the credit of the distinguished scientific officers by whom it was conducted. MADE HIS GARDEN PAY WELL Minnesota Lad Laid His Plans Early and Carried Them Out With Skill. Garden plans started during Christmas vacation and carried out the following summer earned a Minnesota club boy a net profit of more than $100 and the state garden club championship for last year. Obtaining a location for his garden early, this club boy, Willard Weeks of Winona, Minn., drew a plan of his plat, indicating the place for each variety of seed, so that when he had the ground prepared in the spring there was no delay in laying off and planting the rows. The first products of the garden were ready for use 21 days after planting. From that time on, throughout the summer, this young gardener not only supplied his family with all the fresh vegetables needed, but, learning how to prepare his products for market, he built up an extensive trade among his neighbors. Finding the price for late products low, he used the training he had acquired in canning-club work to put up tomatoes, beets and corn, pickles and preserves for winter use. At the end of the season his records showed the total value of vegetables used at home, canned, and stored for winter, and sold, to be $135, produced at an expense of $21.50. Great Ideas Last Long. Why is it that there are some great men whose memory the world "will not willingly let die"? Most of us perish with our generation. A few personalities linger on for one or more generations. But there are some sons of men whose recollection does not seem to fade. Men are like bells. They are struck with a "big idea." As the reverberation goes on long after the stroke has been made, according to the quality and size of the bell, so the great man is made of such metal that the reverberations of his initial impulse are not deadened by the passing of years. What a chime is that composed of all the echoes of the world's great souls!—New York American. Lights to Kill Insects. One Texas farmer has doubled his yield of cotton by placing lights at intervals in his field and under the lights putting basins of water to catch the unwary insects. The scheme sounds reasonable. The same thing gets the human being. The bright lights of the big city attract the attention of the unwary boy and girl from the happy country home and has been the means of doubling the yield of broken hearts, blasted lives and degeneration along the brightly colored broadways of the country as well as providing a testing place for those with characters of true blue. The scheme works so well on people it would be a wonder if the bugs could not be caught by the same bait that is so alluring to man. Nothing Now. An African of peculiarly dusky hue was hailed to court one morning for stealing chickens.

There are said to be so many attractive features in "Youthful Follies" coming to the popular Gayety theatre all week, starting Saturday matinee, that space is not available to describe them all. But one of the big features that is always found at this popular theatre is the daily matinees designed for the comfort and convenience of its lady patrons. The complete performance is given then the same as in the evening. But to revert to "Youthful Follies". It is $x$ bit larger than the ordinary show, going on the revue type. In ten magnificent scenes, it offers rare novelty in its stage settings. There are also several seashore vistas that afford an opportunity for a varied and pleasing display of the latest fashion creations in both feminine bathing suits and beach gowns. A really splendid cast is promised It is headed by Eddie Cole, a comedian of unusual and amusing qualifications. Dolly Davis, the soubrette, is said to be most pleasing both in looks and personal attainments. She was recently seen in Keith vaudeville at the head of a "girl act" called the "Dollie Davis Revue." Harry Morris, a Hebrew comedian, offers a brand new delineation of this popular type of comic; Julia Gifford, besides contributing artistically as prima donna does a high class singing specialty; Myrtle Andrews, a beautiful Titan haired girl is a popular favorite; Harold Kennedy and Harvey Brooks present a very entertaining skit called "Talking Back" and Shorty De Witt and Mabel Gunther will offer "A Pint and a Half of Fun." "Youthful Follies" boasts of a chorus that is second to none. It has every attribute that goes toward making a pleasing ensemble—youth, beauty, ability and vivacity. And its members have been wonderfully costumed in gowns that are exquisite and attractive to a degree. Sunday's matinee and the grand holiday matinee Christmas Day will start at 3:00. Chicago, Ill., Dec. 21.—Reports of intimidation of 300 Negro families claimed to be prepared to return south on a special Illinois Central train proved to be a flivver. It is said that when train time arrived only a very small number of Negroes appeared at the station to return south. Rumors of threats of violence said to have been made by whites against the Negroes were widely circulated a few days ago. It is thought that representatives of Southern Cotton Growers' associations had started these rumors in an effort to get the Negroes to return south. In fact a group of Negroes are said to have threatened the southerner with violence if he did not desist stirring up discontent among Negroes in the community. He was told that his wild reports about 500 Negro families going back south with him on the special was all bosh. According to officials of the Illinois Central railroad only thirty colored families returned south. Reports were circulated that northern whites were going among the Negroes telling them that as soon as they got on the train the doors of the coaches would be locked and not opened until the train reached its destination and also that there was a guard in each coach armed with a gun and a black snake whip. It seemed that the southern and the northern whites made a strong play on the ignorance and fears of many of the Negroes. One young Negro said, "Them folks are simply going down south for the winter, they will be back next spring. That's a great stunt, acting like rich folks—living where it is summer all the time." Washington, Dec. 21.-Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, wife of Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the District Municipal Court, has entered suit in the Supreme Court against the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Company for $20,000 damages for alleged personal injuries by her sustained on account of the defendant's negligence. Mrs. Terrell alleges that on July 23, 1923, while riding in her automobile, she was injured severely in a collision of her car and one owned by the defendant. Messrs. Newneyer and King, well known attorneys of Washington, appear for Mrs. Terrell. RACIAL ANIMOSITY Waycross, Ga., Dec. 21.—Racial animosity, which has run high over the alleged attack by Andrew Moody on an aged couple near here a few weeks ago, when a jury deliberating on the case brought in a verdict of guilty for assault with intent to kill. A sentence of from three to five years was imposed upon Moody. The prisoner is still under heavy guard in order to prevent an attack by mob. SHAKESPEARE SCRIPT IS OLD "Find" in British Museum Has Been Known Since 1871; E. H. Sothern Says. Announcement of the discovery of a manuscript in Shakespeare's handwriting among some old papers in the British museum comes about half a century late, according to E. H. Sothern. Mr. Sothern writes to the New York World that an obscure student of Shakespeare blundered upon the manuscript in 1871 and in a book published in 1916 Sir Edward Maude Thompson established the chirography as that of Shakespeare. But Mr. Sothern and Julia Marlowe, browsing through the British museum in 1921, unaware any such manuscript existed, came upon it. Mr. Sothern said he brought back to America in August of that year photographs of pages of the manuscript and the whole story of its origin. But the public was little interested in the matter then. The manuscript in question is of 147 lines, constituting an interpolation in a play by Anthony Mundy, an Elizabethian, based on the life of Sir Thomas Moore. "Benjamin de Casseres published in the Theater magazine of February, 1922, an interview with me dealing with the discovery of Shakespeare's handwriting," writes Mr. Sectern, "Miss Marlowe and I unconsciously were drawn toward these three sheets. At the bottom of the first, the most legible of the three, this card was attached: "Toward the end of the Sixteenth century the original manuscript was revised, after submission to the censor. The name of one of the players suggests the company which proposed to act it was known in 1592 as Lord Strange's Men, for which Shakespeare was writing." AMERICANS ARE NEW PEOPLE Views of Psychologists Dited to Prove That They Differ From the Europeans. Do we really dare to maintain that this country isn't any different from Europe? asks James Oppenheim in the New Republic. I don't mean better, or even worse; I mean different. Why, even Germany is different from France, and they have the same boundary line. Russia and England are both a part of Europe, and they are psychologically poles apart. Will any one maintain that a hundred million people, severed from Europe by an ocean, and built up out of a pioneer environment, which furnished a unique experience for white men, is not even more different from Europe than one European nation from another? Rubbish! We are a new people. I watched two European psychologists, one of them great, the other excellent, react to America. They knew Europeans. They had psychoanalyzed many. They had traveled they were cultivated. The excellent one said, "You have a young libido. It is the age of adolescence. Anything is possible. Greatness, destruction. It intoxicates me. Such energy! It is like Niagara pouring out!" The other one felt himself renewed. He made reservations. He said, "The mind of Europe is deep; that of America, expansive." But he thought of moving over here, and beginning anew. Damage Done by One Bush. Damage Done by One Bush. A special study to determine the extent of infection and loss from a single bush was made by one of the state leaders of barberry eradication, says the Scientific American. The outbreak of stem rust which started from a bush traveled in one direction, at least, for about five miles. The total wheat area affected on 18 different farms was 363 acres. The average yield for that year was only 37 per cent of what it would have been without the black stem rust, or a total loss in yield of 12,250 bushils. At a dollar a bushel the combined money loss from this single bush in this one direction was $12,250, of an average loss to each farmer of $906 worth of wheat. A barberry bush with a $10,000 potential damage possibility can be destroyed with ten pounds of salt or an hour's work with a grub hoe. The bridegroom and the best man were at the sitar awaiting the bride. The former became very white and seemed about to faint. "What's wrong wl' wel, Jock?" asked the best man. "Yer face is like chalk. Ha'e ye lost anything? Ha'e ye lost the ring?" "No," came the reply, "but I doot I've lost ma enthusiasm." Professional Tendencies.

A man got out of a buggy in front of a store in Wooster, O. recently, and, after looking in vain for a hitching post, took a long rope out of the buggy, tied one end of it to the horse's bridle, carried the other end with him into the store, and transacted his business, while the pedestrians on the side-walk jumped the rope. Time's Changes. The hired man was tinkering around the farmyard. The patent churn man gave him a cheap cigar and asked him how things were coming along. Three New Glaciers Found. Discovery of three new glaciers in the Bitter Root range in Montana was made recently by Theodore Shoemaker and K. D. Swan of the forest service. All are located on a ridge between the Big and Kootenai creeks. A climb of 4,000 feet was made by the explorers into a wild and little traveled section before the glacial formations were sighted. One of the ice masses was of huge proportions, while the other two were considerably smaller. Inspection of the area, including the study of rock deposits and other geological signs, indicates that the glaciers are receding rapidly, Mr. Shoemaker said. Lifting Power of Air and Gases. Lifting Power The lifting power of air is 0.165 pounds per cubic feet of air for each degree Fahrenheit above the temperature of the surrounding air. This weight is the total weight inclusive of the dead weight of the balloon. The lifting power of hydrogen is 75.1 pounds per 1,000 cubic feet. The lifting power of helium is 69.7 pounds per 1,000 cubic feet, the temperature of these last two being the same as that of the surrounding air. ED. F.
