MOTON IN EXTENSION WORKERS NEW YORK HARDING TWO YOUNG GIRLS GO EUROPEAN PAPERS SEEK TO OBSTRUCT DENIED SEAT IN ROLE OF HERO SAVES BIG HELP TO BLACK REPUBLICAN CLUB DOWN TO A WATERY TELL OF AMERICAN PASSAGE DYER BILL AN'L CONVENTION WOMAN FROM DEATH FARMERS IN SOUTH ENDORSES DYER BILL GRAVE IN MEMPHIS LYNCHING EVILS Vol. V. No. 17 The expected efforts to lead discussion on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the United States Senate by Senators from Southern states into the realm of sectional and racial prejudice have already begun, according to a statement released today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at its National Office, 70 Fifth Ave., New York. On July 1, two colored boys, Joe Jordan and James Harvey, were lynched at Lane's Bridge, Georgia, after Governor Hardwick of Georgia had granted them a respite of thirty days. This action followed the gathering of evidence by the N. A. A. C. P. and presentation of that evidence to the governor by attorneys employed by the N. A. A. C. P. On July 10, the New York Times carried an account of a sermon by the Rev. P. T Holloway, of Jesup, Georgia, in which this white minister arraigned officers of the law for neglect of their duty, and accused them directly of aliding the lynching party. The N. A. A. C. P. immediately sent to each member of the Senate a copy of the Times clipping Senator William M. Calder of New York inserted the clipping without comment in the Congressional Record of July 12. On the following day Senator Calder was viciously assailed by Senators Harris of Georgia, Shields of Tennessee, and Dial of South Carolina. These Senators followed the usual custom in arguing that "the South should be left alone to settle the Negro question—outside interference cannot help" and pointed to newspaper accounts of crime in New York City as evidence that the South should not be attacked for lynching. Nothing was said by any of the three southern senators regarding the newspaper clipping in which Rev. Holloway, a Southern white minister, charged connivance between officers of the law and the mob that lynched the two boys. Rev. Holloway, in the sermon which aroused the ire of Senators Harris, Dial and Shields, charged that officers of the law practically invited the lynchings. In the course of his remarks he said: "The morning after the unlawful execution I heard two men talking about a lynching, and one of them was an officer who took charge of the victims purposely to take them to Savannah. The general public wants to know why they should have been taken en away from Jesup, and especially why they should have been taken away in a Ford car, when there were fast passenger trains going straight through to Savannah, making no stop. We demand to know how a mob of men seventy miles away could find out when these prisoners were taken from the county jail, and where they got their information of the route taken. The general public would like to know why, the officers who had these prisoners in charge stopped at Lanes Bridge thirty minutes and told the guard that if anybody came along to tell them they were going to Savannah and would probably have car trouble. The public wants to know why two men, whose names I could call, went to a citizen's house on Thursday and said: 'Lets get these two Negroes and lynch them. The Sheriff said it would be all right; that he would offer no resistance.' " It will be remembered that when Sheriff L. W. Rogers of Wayne County received Governor Hardwick's telegram granting a respite of thirty days to Jordan and Harvey, the sheriff replied: "Your order received with much sorrow.' LYNCHING DENOUNCED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT LEAGUE IN GEORGIA (Special to The Tribune) Atlanta, Ga., July 21—Denunciation of lynching, laxity in law enforcement and of "maudlin sympathy" which, it was asserted, encourages the lawless, was voiced here at a conference of the League of Enforcement of Law Through Constituted Authority, a newly organized Georgia institution.

Dazed by her sudden and unexpected delivery from death or serious injury she failed to thank her rescuer. A traffic policeman was more alert. He stopped the man after he had taken a dozen steps and asked his name. The stranger, who was colored, turned. "Are you going to arrest me?" he asked. "No." said the officer. 'That was a brave act, and I want to report it." "Just say a black man did it," he said, and turned away. He was Dr. Robert Russa Moton, successor to Booker T.

WORLD IS WOBBLY "Gone to the Devil" Chicago, Ill., July 21—Wilbur Glenn Voliva, overseer of Zion, the Holy City, north of Chicago, is beset with fears that the world may come to an end in 1925. Voliva is the scientist who insists the world is flat and square. He says that things are "growing wobbly" as the result of the terrible pace people are traveling. "The world is ripe for the sickle," he shouted to his followers at the twenty-second feast of the tabernacles. "It is corrupt from center to circumference." "All standards have fallen down," he continued. "The churches, too, are corrupt to the core. They, and nearly everything else, have gone to the devil absolutely!" Let us not worry about when the world will come to an end. For the last 2000 years and more, some people have had fears concerning that great event. "Sufficient to the day is the evil thereof." Let us do our duty here and we will not have time to fret about over there. "The devil is not so black as he is painted."

PROGRESSIVE CITIZENS progressives? Are they there to pay to some other town for me to obtain at home, or are they to get home and do their part to charity? The big city store is years every year to draw trade in. They want to sell their money to get their money they care from which it came or the per cent matter of business and that is merchant. He is doing business by merchant; but unlike the profits are spent in promoting the sure the city merchant price is not as closely allied to the small city or town. The man interested in public welfare, the support of the municipal government, the schools, playgrounds, and spend their money in building or both in our community or their personal property is to want any public improvement, contribute their mite genera of our town people need to a merchant will loan it, and if we may obtain credit to tide us out and gets it or we do not get it, it is plain wherein our duty community with the money we never.

Is it not ourselves with every community going outside, in order to promote community, increase the price better streets, better schools and private enterprise? We have proportion as our communities in value and our jobs are more prosperous, our town our standard of living higher and industrially. No one is located locate. No one is in search of community interest. Such p. The community where loyalty the ascendancy, where the pain pruning knife and good will good enough place for anybody Who are the progressives? Are they the people who send their money away to some other town for the purchase of things they can obtain at home, or are they loyal people who prefer to trade at home and do their part toward building up their own community? The big city store is spending many thousands of dollars every year to draw trade from the smaller cities and towns. They want to sell their merchandise, and after they have got their money they care little if anything about the town from which it came or the people who sent it. To them it is a matter of business and that is all. It is not so with the local merchant. He is doing business for a profit, the same as the city merchant; but unlike the city merchant a portion of his profits are spent in promoting the welfare of the community. To be sure the city merchant pays taxes in his own city, but he is not as closely allied to the people as is the merchant in the small city or town. The merchants of our municipality are interested in public welfare. They pay their taxes toward the support of the municipal government; they are liberal in all charitable movements; they aid in the support of the churches, the schools, playgrounds, and every social function. They spend their money in building or buying a store or a residence or both in our community, and their real estate, as well as their personal property is taxed by this community. If we want any public improvement it is the local tradesmen who contribute their mite generously toward it. Frequently if one of our town people need to borrow a sum of money the local merchant will loan it, and if we do not have the ready cash we may obtain credit to tide us over a stringent crisis. This we cannot get from the out of town merchant. He wants his cash and gets it or we do not get the goods. All things considered, it is plain wherein our duty lies. We cannot build up our community with the money we send away. It goes from us forever. Our local merchants are our friends. They want to make sales; but they want to make them in such a manner that we will all be benefitted. They want to know what success we are having with the farm machinery we purchased from them, and if there is any fault they are ready and willing to aid us; for it is to their interest as well as ours that we increase production and our profits. Is it not then for our interest to ally ourselves with every community interest in preference to anything outside, in order to promote our own welfare, build up our own community, increase the productiveness of our farms, build better streets, better schools, better churches and every public and private enterprise? We should also remember that in proportion as our community prospers our property increases in value and our jobs are worth more, our civic institutions are more prosperous, our town more beautiful, and best of all our standard of living higher and better, physically, mentally and industrially. No one is looking for a dead town in which to locate. No one is in search of a location where there is no community interest. Such places cannot but fall into decay. The community where loyalty prevails, where local pride is in the ascendancy, where the paint brush and the lawn mower, the pruning knife and good will combine for public welfare is a good enough place for anybody and will prosper. THE PRICE OF FAME desire fame and are willing to now, however, are willing to exe have done to obtain the object the fame of Napoleon? If you went similar to his, will power look far into the future, too to be wholly without fear men. He slept little and we menius, haughty, tactiurn, fond confirmed egotist, ambitious Indeed he possessed a Many men desire fame and are willing to make sacrifices to obtain it. Few, however, are willing to exert themselves as most famous men have done to obtain the object of their desires. Would you have the fame of Napoleon? If you would you must have a temperament similar to his, will power, his magnetism and his ability to look far into the future, to be able to read character, and also to be wholly without fear. Napoleon was a born leader of men. He slept little and worked much. He was a military genius, haughty, tactiurn, fond of solitude, capricious and a confirmed egotist, ambitious and having unbounded aspirations. Indeed he possessed a personality unprecedented in European history. He died of an ulcer of the stomach May 5, 1821, but the name of Napoleon will never fade from the pages of history. Would you be a Darwin and win everlasting fame by the establishment of a theory that will endure for ages untold? Would you work as he worked to obtain the fame you desire. Would you care to devote your time to scientific study and investigation, and like him write 23 volumes and 51 scientific papers? If you are able and are willing to pay the price you might become famous in some line in which you are capable; but there is no easy road. Would you be an Edison and revolutionize the business and thought of the world by the invention of mechanism for the production and control of electricity, and its adoption to the use of man? If you would are you willing to pay the price of his tireless energy, study and hard work? Would you be a Henry Ford? If such is your desire are you willing, provided you are capable, of doing his job? Would you be any one of the long list of military, scientific, literary or mechanical peniuses that have acquired scientific, literary or mechanical geniuses that have acquired lasting fame? If you would, are you willing to pay the price? Are you willing to work as they have worked; deny yourself as they have denied themselves of the pleasures of life to obtain the fame that will last through the ages? Fame does not come to any one without physical or mental labor of the most strenuous character, and few there are who have the capacity to acquire it, or the tenacity of purpose that will hold them strictly to the text of their ambition until they have arrived at the goal. The price of fame is extortionate. It is beyond the reach of the masses, and few there are who succeed climbing its rugged heights. IF YOU mean to make a success in this life keep your eye constantly on the course. Turn neither to the right nor left; but keep in the middle of the road, rugged as it may be, and press onward and upward to the height of your ambition. Some people have been lied to so much that they will not believe the truth unless it is twisted. No plain truth for them. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING keeps.

You can walk on Scraggsy, Gib, but it takes a man to walk on the McGuffey family." Nothing but the lack of sea-room prevented a battle royal. Mr. Gibney stood glaring at his late partners.

She was cut in two just for'd o' the bulkhead an' her anchors carried away on the section that was cut off. She ain't worth the cost o' towin' her in on the flats." "So that codfish has some value," sneered Captain Scraggs. "Great grief, Scraggsy! Don't tell me it's spilled," cried McGuffey, simulating horror. "No, not quite, Mac, not quite. Just slightly. I s'pose Gib'll tack a sign to the stub o' the main mast: 'Slightly spoiled codfish for sale. Apply to A. P. Gibney, on the premises. Special rates on Friday.'" Mr. Glbney quivered, but made no reply. He carefully examined that portion of the derelict above water and discovered that by an additional expenditure of about fifty dollars he might recover an equal amount in brass fittings. The Kadlak's house was gone and her decks completely gutted. Nothing remained but the amputated hull and the foul cargo below her battered decks. In majestic silence the commodore motioned all hands into the launch. In silence they returned to the city. Arrived here, Mr. Glbney paid off the launch man and the diver and accompanied by his associates repaired to a prominent jeweler's shop with the pearls they had accumulated in the South seas. The entire lot was sold for thirty thousand dollars. An hour later they had adjusted their accounts, divided the fortune of the syndicate equally, and then dissolved. At parting, Mr. Glbney spoke for the first time when it had not been absolutely necessary. "Put a beggar on horseback an' he'll ride to the devil," he said. "When you two swabs was poor you was content to let me lead you into a fortune, but now that you're well-heeled, you think you're business men. All right! I aln't got a word to say except this; Before I get through with you two beachcombers I'll have all your money and you'll be a-beggin' me for a job. I apologize for soakin' you two with that diseased codfish, an' for old sake's sake we won't fight. We're still friends, but business associates no longer, for I'm too big a figer in this syndicate to stand for any criticism on my handl' o' the joint finances. Hereafter, Scraggay, old klddo, you an' Mac can go it alone with your sternwheel steamer. Me an' The Squarehead legs it together an' takes our chances. You don't hear that poor toootered Swede makin' no holler at the way I've handled the syndicate—" "But, Gib, my dear boy," chattered Captain Scraggs, "will you just listen to re—" "Enough! Too much is plenty. Let's shake hands an' part friends. We just can't get along in business together, that's all." "Well, I'm sorry, Gib," mumbled McGuffey, very much crestfallen, "but then you hove that dog-gone fish at me an'—" "That was fortune hittin' you a belt in the face, Mac, an' you was too self-conceit to recognize it. Remember that, both of you two. Fortune hit you in the face today an' you didn't know it." "Td ruther die poor, Gib," walled McGuffey. The commodore shook hands cordially and departed, followed by the faithful Nells Halvorsen. The moment the door closed behind them Scraggs turned to the engineer. "Mac," he said earnestly, "Gib's up to somethin'. He's got that imagination o' his workin'. I can tell it every time; he gets a foggy look in his eyes. We made a mistake kldin' him today. Gib's a sensitive boy some ways an' I reckon we hurt his feelin' without intendin' it." "He thrun a dead codfish at me," protested McGuffey. "I love old Gib like a brother, but that's carryin' things with a mighty high hand." "Well, I'll apologize to him," declared Captain Scraggs and started for the door to follow Mr. Gibney. McGuffey barred his way. "You apologize without my consent an' you buya me out o' the Victor. I won't be no engineer with a skipper that lacks backbone." "Oh, very well, Mac." Captain Scraggs realized too well the value of McGuffey in the engine room. He knew he could never be happy with anybody else. "We'll complete the deal with the Victor, ship a crew, get down to business, an' leave Gib to his coddfish. An' let pay our bill an' get outer here. It's too high-toned for me—an' expensive." For two weeks Captain Scraggs and McGuffey saw no more of Mr. Gibney and Nells Halvorsen. In the meantime, they had commenced running the Victor regularly up river, soliciting business in opposition to the regular steamboat lines. While the Victor was running with light freights and consequently at a loss, the prospect for The Green Pea Pirates ultimate business was very bright and Scraggs and McGuffey were not at all worried about the future. Judge at their surprise, therefore, when one morning who should appear at the door of Scraggs' cabin but Mr. Gibney. "Mornin', Gib," began Scraggs cheerly. "I'spose you been rolled for your money as per usual, an' you are around lookin' for a job as mate?" Mr. Gibney ignored this veiled insult. "Not yet, Scraggsy. I got about five hundred tons o' freight to send up to Dunnigan's landing an' I want a lump sum figger for doin' the job. We parted friends an' for the sake o' old times I thought I'd give you a chance to figger on the business." "Thanky, Gib. I'll be glad to. Where's your freight an' what does it consist of?" "That's the program." "Adelbert," crooned "ain't you got no heap I got a half interest I." "O-ooh-oh!" Captain S and his groan was the passenger. When he again his face was gibery. "Gib," he pleaded us where the hair is so voke the law an' make codish, Gib. It!n't leave to tow that bar keep your freight off we'll pull it up river. "Be a good feller, Gib. he hard an' spiteful I McGuffey. "I't tow the barge Scraggs. Mr. Gibney set collar "Agricultural stuff. It's crated, an' I deliver it here on the steamer's deck within reach o' her tackles. No heavy pieces. Two men can handle every piece easy." "Turnin' farmer, Glb?" "Thinkin' about it a little," the com- modore admitted. "What's your rate on this freight? It ain't perishable, so get down to brass tacks." "A dollar a ton," declared the greedy Scraggs, naming a figure fully forty cents higher than he would have been willing to accept. "Five hundred dollars for the lot." "Suits me." The commodore nonchalantly handed Scraggs five hundred dollars. "Gimme a receipt," he said. So Captain Scraggs gave him a receipted freight bill and Mr. Gibney departed. An hour later a barge was bunted alongside the Victor and Nells Halvorsen appeared in Scraggs' cabin to inform him that the five hundred tons of freight was ready to be taken aboard. "All right, Nells. I'll put a gang to work right off." He came out on deck, paused, tilted his nose, and VINCENT VAN GOGH "Woly Sailor!" He Shouted. "Who Unooked That Atter o Violets?" "Moly Sailor!" He Shouted. "Who Uncorked That Atter o Violets?" anfited. He was still sniffing when McGuffey bounced up out of the engine room. "Holy Sailor!" he shouted. "Who uncorked that attr o' violets?" "You dog-gone squarehead," shrieked Captain Scraggs. "You been monkey-in' around that codfish again." "What smella?" demanded the mate, poking his nose out of his room. "That tainted wealth I plecked up at sea," shouted a voice from the dock, and turning, Scraggs and McGuffey observed Mr. Glbney standing on a stringer smiling at them. "Glb, my dear boy," quavered Captain Scraggs, "you can't mean to say you've unloaded them gosh-awful codfish—" "No, not yet—but soon, Scraggsy, old tarpot." Captain Scraggs was on the verge of tears. "But, Gib! My dear boy! This freight'll foul the Victor up for a month o' Fridays—an I just took out a passenger license!" "I'm sorry, Scraggsy, but business is business. You've took my money an' you got to perform." "You lied to me. You said it was agricultural stuff an' I thought it was plows an' harriers an' sich—" "It's fertilizer—an' if that ain't agricultural stuff I hope my teeth may drop out an' roll in the ocean. An' it ain't perishable. It perished long ago. I ain't deceived you. An' if you don't like the scent o' dead codfish on your decks, you can swab 'em down with Florida water for a month." Captain Scraggs' mate came around the corner of the house and addressed himself to Captain Scraggs. "You can give me my time, sir. I'm a steamboat mate, not a grave digger or a coroner's assistant, or an undertaker, an' I can't stand to handle this here freight." Mr. McGunfey tossed his silken engineer's cap over to Scraggs. "Hop on that, Scraggsy. Your own hat is ground to powder. Aln't it strange, Glb, what little imagination Scraggsy's got? He'll stand there a-screamin' an' a-cussin' an' a-pranchin' —Scraggsy! Aln't you got no pride, makin' such a spectacle o' yourself? We don't have to handle this freight o' Gib's at all. We'll just hook onto that barge an' tow it up river." "You won't do nothin' o' the sort, Mac, because that's my barge an' I aln't a-goin' to let it out o' my sight. I've delivered my freight alongside your steamer and prepaid the freight an' it's up to you to handle it." "That's the programme!" That's the programme: "Adebert," crooned Mr. McGuffey "ain't you got no heart? You know I got a half interest in the Victor—" "O-oo-oh!" Captain Scraggs grounned, and his groan was that of a seasick passenger. When he could look up again his face was ghastly with misery. "Gib," he pleaded sadly, "you got us where the hair is short. Don't invoke the law an' make us handle that codish, Gib! It ain't right. Glimme leave to tow that barge—anything to keep your freight off the Victor, an' we'll pull it up river for you—" "Be a good feller, Gib. You usen'ter he hard an' spitful like that," urged McGuffey. "I'll tow the barge free," walled Scraggs. Mr. Gibney sat calmly down on the stringer and lit a cigar. Nature had blessed him with a strong constitution amidships and the contiguity of hisainted fortune bothered him but little. He squinted over the tip of the cigar at Captain Scraggs. "You're just the same old Scraggsy you was in the green-pea trade. All you need is a ring in yer nose, Scraggsy, to make you a human hog. Here you goes to work an 'soaks me a dollar a ton when you'd be tickled to death to do the job for half 'o that, an' then you got the gall to stand there appealin' to my friendship! So you'll tow the barge up free, eh? Well, just to make the transaction legal, I'll give you a dollar for the job an' let you have the barge. Skip to it, Scraggsy, an' draw up a new bill, guaranteein' to tow the barge for one dollar. Then gimme back $409.00 an' I'll hand you back this receipted freight blll." Captain Scraggs darted into his cabin, dashed off the necessary document, and returning to the deck, presented it, together with the requisite refund, to Mr. Gibney, who, in the meantime, had come aboard. "Whatever are you a-goin' to do with this awful codfish, Gib?" he demanded. Mr. Gibney cocked his hat over one ear and blew a cloud of smoke in the skipper's face. "Well, boys, I'll tell you. Salted codfish that that's been under water a long time gets most o' the salt took out of it, an' even at sea, if it's left long enough, it'll get so darned ripe that it's what you might call offensive. But it makes good fertilizer. There ain't nothin' in the world to equal codfish, medium ripe, for fertilizer. I've rigged up a deal with a orchard company that's layin' in a couple o' thousand acres o' young trees up in the delta lands o' the Secramento. I've sold 'em the lot, after first buyin' it from the owners o' the schooner for a hundred dollars. Every time these orchard fellers dig a hole to plant a young fruit tree they aim to heave a codfish in the bottom o' the hole first, for fertilizer. There was upward o' two hundred thousand codfish in that schooner an' I've sold 'em for five cents each, delivered at Dunnigan's landin'. I figger on cleanin' up about seven thousand net on the deal. I thought me an' Nells was stuck at first, but I got my imagination workin'—" Captain Scraggs sank limply into McGuffey's arms and the two stared at the doughty commodore. "Hit in the face with a fortune an' didn't know it," gasped poor McGuffey. "Gb, I'm sure glad you got out whole on that deal." "Thanks to a lack o' imagination in you an' Scraggy I'm about two hundred an' fifty dollars ahead o' my estimate now, on account o' the free tow o' that barge. Me an' Nells certainly makes a nice little split on account o' this here codfish deal." "Gib," chattered Scraggs, "what's THE MARSHALS "Gib," Chattered Scraggs, "What's the Matter With Reorganizin' the Syndicate?" the matter with reorganizin' the syndicate?" "Be a good feller, Adelbert," pleaded McGuffey. Mr. Gibney was never so vulnerable as when one he really loved called him by his Christian name. He drew an arm across the shoulders of McGuffey and Scraggs, while Nellis Halvorsen stood by, his yellow fangs flashing with pleasure under his walrus mustache. "Scraggsy! Mac! Your fins! We'll reorganize the syndicate, an' the minute me an' Nellis finds ourselves with a bill o' sale for a one-quarter inter- est in the Victor, based on the actual cost price, we'll tow 'em here barge—" "An' split the profits on the codfish?" Scraggs queried eagerly. "Certainly not. Me an' Neils splits that fifty-fifty. A quarter o' them profits is too high a price to pay for your friendship, Scraggs, old deceitful. Remember, I made that profit after you an' Mac had pulled out o' the syndicate." "That's logic," McGuffey declared. "It's highway robbery." Scraggs snarled. "I won't sell no quarter interest to you or The Squarehead, Gib. Not on them terms." "Then you'll load them codfish aboard, or pay demurrage on that barge for every day they hang around; an' If the board of health condemns 'em an' chucks 'em overboard I'll sue you an' Mac for my lost profits, git a judgment agin you, an' take over the Victor to satisfy the judgment." "You're a sea lawyer, Glb," Scraggy retorted sarcastically. "You do what Glb says," McGuffey ordered threateningly. "Remember, I got a half interest in any judgment he gits agin us—an' what's more, I object to them codfish clutterin' up my half interest." "You bullied me on the old Maggle," Scraggs screeched, "but I won't be bullied no more. If you want to tow that barge, Mac, you buy me out, lock, stock and barrel. An' the price for my half interest is five thousand dollars." "You've sold something, Scraggsy." Mr. McGuffey flashed back at him, obeying a wink from Mr. Gibney. "An' here's a hundred dollars to bind the bargain. Balance on delivery of proper bill-o-sale." While Scraggs was counting the money Mr. Gibney was writing a receipt in his note book. Scraggs still furious, signed the receipt. "Now, then, Scraggsy," said Mr. Gibney affably, "hustle up to the custom house, get a formal bill-o-sale blank, fill her in, an' hustle back again for your check. An' see to it you don't change your mind, because it won't do you any good. If you don't come through now I can sue you an' force you to." "Oh! So you're buyin' my interest, eh?" "Well, I'm lendin' Mac the money, an' I got a bunch he'll sell the interest to me an' Neils without figgerin' on a profit. You're a jarrin' note in the syndicate, Scraggsy, an' I've come to that time o' life, where I want peace. An' there won't be no peace on the Victor unless I skipper her." Captain Scraggsy departed to draw up the formal bill of sale and Mr. Gibney, drawing the Squarehead and McGuffey to him, favored each with a searching glance and said: "Gentlemen, did it ever occur to you that there's money in the chicken business?" It had! Both McGuffey and Nells admitted it. There are few men in this world who have not, at some period of their lives, held the same view, albeit the majority of those who have endeavored to demonstrate that fact have subsequently changed their minds. "I thought as much," the common dore grinned. "If I was to let you two out o' my sight for a day you'd be flat busted the day after. So we won't buy no farm an' go in for chickens. We'll sell the Victor an' buy a little tradin' schooner. Then we'll go back to the South sens an' learn a legitimate livin'." "But why'l we sell the Victor? Mr. Guffey demanded. "Gib. she's a love of a boat." "Because I've just had a talk with the owners,o' the two opposition broan' they, knowin' me to be clumsy with you an' Scraggsy, give me the heir to tell you two that you could have your choice o' two proposition—a rate war or a sale o' the Victor ten thousand dollars. That gets you out clean an' saves your original and tal, an' it gits Scraggsy out the same way, while nettin' me an' Nells five hundred each." "A rate war would ruin us," Mr. Guffey agreed. "In addition to sourn' Scraggsy's disposition until he wouldn't be fit to live with Gib, you’re a wonder." "I know it," Mr. Gibney replied. Within two hours Captain Scraggs' half interest had passed into the hands of McGuffey, and half an hour later the Victor had passed into the hands of the opposition lines, to be operated for the joint profit of the latter. Later in the day all four members of the syndicate met in the Bowend saloon, where Mr. Gibney explained the deal to Captain Scraggs. The latter was dumfounded. "You'll run without me, Gib," Scraggs declared emphatically. "I've had a plenty' the dark blue for mine. I got a little stake now, so I'm going to look around an' invest in a—" "A chicken ranch," McGuffey interrupted. "Right-O, Bart. How'd you guess it?" "I imagination," quoth McGuffey, tapping his forehead, "imagination, Scraggsy." Three weeks later Mr. Gibney had purchased, for account of his now abbreviated syndicate, the kind of power schooner he desired, and the inspectors gave him a ticket as master. With The Squarehead as mate and Mr. McGuffey as engineer and general utility man, the little schooner cleared for Pago Pago on a day when Captain Scraggs was too busy buying incubators to come down to the dock and see them off. And for aught the chronicler of this tale knows to the contrary, the syndicate may be sailing in that self-same schooner to this very day.

Nassau. Published by The Four Seas Co., Boston, Mass. Price $2.00 Postage 10 cents. To those who are interested in African Lore this volume will be of great value, It is a collection of West African Folk Lore tales translated from the native idiom. ‘The tales are from the Mpongwe, Benga and Fang tribes. Many of them seem vaguely familiar as they tell of the Leopard and the Rat, the Tortoise and other animals, But there are stories that do not recall Brer Rabbit, Bear o7 Fox; stories like an Arabian Night. A son goes away from his native town to get a wife. He shows kindliness to all he meets, thus gaining the good will of the animals, and is presented with a magie gourd not unlike Al- ladin's lamp. By means of the gourd he turns a forest into a garden in an hour, dams a river and furnishes fish for a month, and fights and conquers multitudes of his opponents. His prowess wins him the hand of the princess—only it is not put exactly that way—and he carries away his beautiful wife. His foolish brother, striving to emulate him, fails to show kindness or wisdom and gets an ugly, diseased woman as his mate. The ad- venture is delightful, an Arabian night in a new setting. But what is most interesting in the book is the side light that it casts on West African custom. To explain the tales we have short notes such as this: “Polite natives will neither sft uninvited in the presence of their su- periors nor watch them while eating.” “sitting in a visitor's lap for a few moments is a mode of welcome.” “Among native Africans. in the case of a man and his wife, even if they fight together, her father or her brother does not interfere.” ‘There ‘wit be the description of the build- ing of a town such as this: “And all aay: hey: that “worked at stakes, ‘went out to cut saplings; those that made rattan-ropes, went to cut the rattan vines; they that shaped the bamboo for building, went to cut the bamboo-paims they that made the thatch went to gather the palm-leaves; they that set up the stakes of the houseframe, went to thrust them into the ground; they who fastened the walls, fastened them; they who tied thatch on the roof, tied it; they who split the rattan-vines for tying, split them, The town was full of noise.” We often hear of two drums, the common drum and the elembi, a drum /made to transmit information by 4 ‘system of signal strokes. Thus in. formation travelled through Africa with extraordinary rapidity. In his preface, the author tells us how these tales are told. ‘There are only a few skilled narrators, but these few are like great actors, and just as a play will run with us for ‘hundreds of nights, the same people going to see it again and again, sc the tales will be retold endlessly ‘made attractive by the dramatic us¢ ot gesture, tone and startling exclama tion. | “The oceasions selected tor the ‘renditions are nights, after the day’s works are done, especially it there be visitors to be entertained. The place: THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING chosen are the open street, or in for- est camps where almost all the popu- lation of a village go for a week’s work on their cutting of new planta: tions; or for hunting or for fishing in ponds. At night all gather around the camp fire and the Tales are told, with, at intervals, accompaniment of drum; and parts of the plot are illus trated, by an appropriate song. or by a short dance, the platform being only the earth, and the scenery the forest shadows, and the moon o1 stars! It fs this. recital and this setting ‘that we miss as we read these stories and we realize that we are getting about as much of what the listener in the African forest sees and hears, as we get of an opera by reading the li bretto. When will the time com When we shall hear these tales on the stage with their real setting.” We had a beginning in New York this winter when Simango danced in the superb African scene of the dramé “Taboo. I never visit the Metropolt tan museum and look at its collectior of African instruments that I do no! long for the day when they will bs taken out of their cases and we shal hear them played, the drums will beat the elembi will give its signal. th .
