Best Wishes For A Merry Christmas to Our Readers and Advertisers This government is based upon the fundamental idea that each man, no matter what his occupation, his race, or his religious belief, is entitled to be treated on his worth as a man, and neither favored nor discriminated against because of any accident in his position.-Theodore Roosevelt. VOL. V.—NO. 39 BAPTISTS UNITED UNDER LEADERSHIP OF L. K. WILLIAMS (Special to The Tribune) ST. LOUIS, Mo.-Dr. Lacey Kirk Williams, for the last six years pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, Illinois, was elected president of the National Baptist Convention, incorporated, succeeding the late Dr E C. Morris. The Texas delegation stood like adamant for Dr. Williams, who was educated in that state and pastored three of the leading churches in the Lone Star commonwealth prior to assuming charge of his Chicago church. In a brilliant but stubborn battle, featured by all the finesse of ecclesiastical politics, Dr Williams won against the field, the other candidates, Rev. Parks of Philadelphia, Rev. Moses of New York and Rev. Bryant of Georgia, having combined their forces, rallying under the banner of Rev. Parks, former vice president of the organization. All of the old officers, including Secretary R. B. Hudson, were re-elected, except Dr. Parks, Rev. Taylor of Louisiana capturing his place. The final vote was 810 to 769. Unification of the two conventions was adopted unanimously, proving to be an outstanding sentiment in the assembly. Hundreds of ministers who have been allied with the Boyd faction, attended the St. Louis convention and returned to the fold. The choice of Dr. Williams after the conflict was over seemed to be an immensely popular one. Ministers freely predicted a progressive era in the affairs of the largest religious group in the race. Dr. Williams is recognized as one of the world's leaders in the religious realm, and is both an organizer, preacher, planner and born leader of man. It is doubtful if the Baptist hosts could have made a wiser or better selection. Professor E. D. Pierson, science teacher in Houston Colored High School, was unanimously re-elected auditor of the convention. BIG AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT IS HELD AT HARPERS FERRY, W.VA. BIG AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT IS HELD AT HARPERS FERRY, W.VA. (Preston News Service) HARPERS FERRY, W. Va. Dec. 17 The first country life conference for colored people ever held was just completed at the country community center near here last week. It was the direct result of the agricultural work being done by Prof. H. H. Winters, instructor of Agriculture at Storer College. In spite of the unusually cold weather, each session of the conference was largely attended, many persons coming a distance of more than twenty miles to attend. Among those who delivered addresses during the three day conference were: Hon. Nat. T. Frame, Director Agricultural Extension Work, West Virginia University; Professor A. K. Kapling, Director Country Life Conferences, Weslyan College; Hon. J. E. Banks, State Superintendent Four "H" Clubs; Prof. H. H. Winters and President T. E. McDonald, of Storer College. In addition to the lectures given fine displays of agricultural products, poultry, needle work, etc., were on exhibition. Dr. Kapling said, "I have taken part in sixty-two conferences, but in general intelligence, interest and appreciation, this conference is the equal of any which I have been privileged to conduct." Judge H. J. Sullivan Will Resume Private Practice After Jan. 1st Justice of the Peace Henry J. Sullivan will resume private practice at his former offices, 720, 721 and 722 Heard building, the first of the year. Judge Sullivan was defeated in the race for county attorney, running on the Republican ticket, and his term as justice expires this month. He has made many friends by the impartiality of his administration as justice, and is regarded as one of the keenest young lawyers in the county. Before coming to Phoenix, Judge Sullivan practiced law in Kansas. Phoenix Tribune key 10 Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes BARNUM IS GIVEN A LIGHT SENTENCE BY S. C. GOVERNOR BARNUM IS GIVEN A LIGHT SENTENCE BY S. C. GOVERNOR (Preston News Service) COLUMBIA, S. C., Dec. 21—Governor Harvey last Friday afternoon commuted the death sentence of David Barnum of Orangeburg, to seven years imprisonment and fifteen minutes later suspended this later sentence, "during good behavior, the Governor to solely determine the compliance or non-compliance," with the good behavior clause. Barnum was convicted at Orange county court about four years ago, of criminal assault on a youthful member of his race and was sentenced to death. Barnum appealed, and, due to a change in the office force in Orangeburg county, the solicitor becoming a congressman and Barnum's lawyer the solicitor, the case was lost sight of and Barnum remained in the state penitentiary without any definite status, except being under sentence of death with no date for execution Many appeals have been made to Governor Harvey in behalf of Barnum, the consensus of opinion being that he was not guilty of the crime charged, and that his conviction was due largely to the excitement engendered by the unnaturalness of the supposed offense. The governor finally decided on clemency and so worded his papers that he thinks misbehavior on the part of Barnum in the future will cause him to serve the remaining three years of his sentence $10,000 DAMAGE SUIT SETTLED OUT OF COURT FOR SMALL SUM OF $10 $10,000 DAMAGE SUIT SETTLED OUT OF COURT FOR SMALL SUM OF $10 (Preston News Service- JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Dec. 21—The mother of little Arthur Mack, aged 8 years, who was run over by L. H. Hodge's automobile last November, must have needed Christmas money very badly when she is alleged to have settled a $10,000 damage suit out of court for the paltry sum of $10. Hodge of Scrivens, Ga., was on his way to Dayton, Ga., on business, it is alleged, when he ran over the small lad at a curve on the state highway near here. He went to the magistrate's office and put up $100 forfeit for his appearance at the hearing and was released to continue his journey. The accident occurred on November 14. At the hearing last Tuesday afternoon before Justice of the Peace Greenberg, Mr. Hodge was exonerated on the charge of careless driving. It was stated that the mother of the boy had entered civil suit for $10,000 damages against Hodge. The matter was said to have been settled out of court when Hodge and his attorneys told the woman how much trouble it would be to conduct a case of this kind and the enormous cost involved, and that she would have to spend a lot of money for competent lawyers, who would finally get most or practically all of the money if she won the case. So the best thing for her to do would be to settle the case out of court and get it without trouble and notoriously. So the woman said that $10 would suit her since it would put an end to all the bother and trouble. 100 PER CENT AMERICANS? The following oath, according to General Pershing, was taken by 1800 young white men in the Town Hall at New York City, November 30, 1921: "Believing that all war is wrong, and that the arming of the nations, whether by land or sea or air, is treason to the spiritual unity and intelligence of mankind, I declare it my intention to never take part in war, offensive or defensive, international or civil, whether it be by bearing arms, making or handling munitions, voluntarily subscribing to war loans or using my labor for the purpose of setting others free for war service." KU KLUX GIVE CHASE SHREVEPORT, La.—Enraged over the shooting of Cotton Persons by a colored man, a band of 250 armed and masked men visited a half dozen small towns and oil camps near here and warned owners and habitues of alleged disorderly places to leave immediately last Sunday night. PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1922 KLAN MERCHANTS TO BOYCOTT NEW YORK IN SPRING BUYING KLAN MERCHANTS TO BOYCOTT NEW YORK IN SPRING BUYING (Special to The Tribune.) KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 21—Promising retaliation for Mayor Hylan's attack on the klan, the Rev. Roger C. Fife, one of the numerous Christian ministers who are members of the klan, bitterly assailed the city of New York's mayor and police force for their threats against klan organizers who may attempt to operate in New York and declared that as a result of Mayor Hylan's opposition to the klan, "ten thousand Middle Western merchants will refuse this Spring to go to New York to buy goods. The reverend Christian gentleman spoke before 800 other Christians at the Temple Christian Church, Kansas City, Kan. The church was too small to hold the numerous Christian people trying to hear their klansman leader. CROOKED FIGHTS IN FRANCE ARE COMMON SAYS BATTLING SIKI (Special to The Tribune) (Special to The Tribune) PARIS, France—"The fight game in France is crooked," declared Battling Siki recently, defending himself against the answers of his own and Georges Carpentier's managers to his charge that they "framed" his fight with the Frenchman for Georges to win. Siki reiterated that he was told by his manager, Hellers, to "lay down in the "sixth round," as that was the "only way that Carpentier's manager, Descamps, would consent to the fight." After the second round of the battle at the Buffalo Stadium, Siki says that Hellers whispered to him: "Take it easy, but don't let the public get wise." Siki says that he was then acquiescent, but in the third round Carpentier jolted him badly. "Then I suddenly realized," the jungle fighter continued, "that it was a pretty low down trick on the people who had paid their money expecting to see a fair fight. Besides, I realized I could beat Carpentier, which would mean much more money for me. So I slipped a fast one over which decided the fight. "As a result of this I have got the whole boxing ring against me. They have hounded me until they have got me disqualified. I admit that it was wrong to lose my temper like I did when I hit Balzac's manager, but the other charges are all lies." Eminent Writer Lays Cause of Lynching at Door of Capitalist MOSCOW, Russia, Dec. 15—Among the many questions being discussed at the Third Internationale held here, is the Negro question. It came before an open session and attracted considerable attention and wide discussion. President Kolanoff proposed that detailed reports on the Negro question everywhere, and especially in the United States, be submitted before the conference in open session for the purpose of clarifying the subject for European members who are unfamiliar with the problem in other countries. However, it was suggested that the Communist parties support the Negro movement everywhere in connection with a proposal to call a congress at Moscow of all the revolutionary Negro organizations of the world, "to realize a united front of all workers against capitalism and imperialism." The speaker then said that the political rights of Negroes in the United States were mere scraps of paper and that for a long time capitalists had been spreading propaganda among the Negroes in favor of white capitalists and against white workers. Until now, he said, the workers had done nothing to counteract this. Claude McKay, the versatile writer of New York City, who, it is understood is not a delegate, also addressed the Internationale. Mr. McKay asserted that the Negroes of America were denied the right of free assembly and were often lynched, one purpose of the capitalists being to turn the mind of the worker class from class war by inculting him to race war. GIVE SOMETHING TO OTHERS Give something to others, Each day of the year, If only a handclasp A look or a tear. What ever is given, If given in love, The Master recordeth In Heaven above. Give something to others While going along— A whisper of courage, Of soul-cheering song, For hearts are despairing Along the wild way, And souls are in sorrow Each hour of the day. Give something to others Each day of your life; Help those who are timid To stand in the strife; Go faithfully onward, O'erflowing with love, Then, smiling, the Master Will greet you above. —Selected PRESCOTT By Mrs. L. V. Hines Tuesday, December 12, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Staton were at home to their friends with one of the swellest receptions given at the Masonic hall. The hall was beautifully decorated with appropriate colors. Music furnished by the Polk Orchestra, was one of the main features, much to the delight of all present. Other feautres were enjoyed, which made the time pass pleasantly. Refreshments were also served. The guests present were Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Tull, Mr. and Mrs. Burkhardt, Mr. and Mrs. Winston, Mr. and Mrs. Wise, Mr. and Mrs. Woods, Mr. and Mrs. Jourdan, Mr. and Mrs. Hall, Mr. and Mrs. Tom King, Miss Clark, Mr. Sells, Mrs. Harrison, Mr. and Mrs. Leon Hilbert, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Young, and the Host and Hostess. All report a wonderful time, retiring at a late hour. A club of several of the prominent citizens has been organized, the main amusements being cards and dancing. All of the members from time to time report enjoyable times. Mrs. Joe Anderson has been quite sick, but is better. She is suffering with a severe cold. Mr. and Mrs. Minerd Buress. of Petersburg, Indiana, are pleasant visitors in our city, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Paris Tabron. Mr. Buress was Mr. Tabrons instructor in the barber trade, and Mr. Tabron is known to be one of the best barbers in Prescott, having the first chair in the Garett Shop. Mr. Buress has the reputation of being one of the finest barbers in the states. Mr. and Mrs. Buress are on their honeymoon and annual vacation. Mrs. Buress is a registered nurse of Chicago, having charge of the nurses headquarters in that city. She has had wide experience and is a wonderful woman. The colored folks of Prescott are proud to know that Mrs. Buress, Mrs. Larkin and Mrs. Paris Tabron are registered nurses and accomplished women in this line and show the real progress of the race. We are proud of the pleasant visitors and hope for them a beautiful sail over the matrimonial sea. Mr. and Mrs. Buress may remain in Prescott through the holidays. They are enroute to the coast. Mrs. Mary Carter has been a little sick, but is better. Mrs. L. A. McCarty is about the same, with no improvements. It is the hope, however, that she will soon make a change for the better, for she has had several bad days. Miss Florence Hall and Mr. Dickerson Mason were happily united in the holy bonds of matrimony by Rev. Monday, December 11, 1922, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Alexander. The ceremony was beautiful, and only the immediate friends of the bride and groom were present. A lovely repast was served. Mrs. Mason was born in Prescott, and is loved by all who know her. Mr. Mason is a patient at Fort Whipple, and stands high among the patients, doctors and nurses there, and has a host of friends in the city. The bride is one of the sweetest girls of this community, very refined, modest and unassuming. It is the earnest hope that they will have a beautiful sail over the matrimonial sea. Mrs. Estella Hall, mother of Mrs. Florence Hall Mason, left Sunday, Dec. 17, for Salt Lake City, to join KU KLUX KLAN WILL BE FORCED TO GIVE NAMES OF MEMBERS KU KLUX KLAN WILL BE FORCED TO GIVE NAMES OF MEMBERS NEW YORK, Dec. 21—A measure intended to compel publication of the names of the Ku Klux Klan and other secret societies in New York State will be presented in the legislature at Albany next month by Senator Hastings, of Brooklyn, he announced last Thursday. The bill, copies of which were made public by Hastings, provides that officers of all organizations in the State, whether or not incorporated or chartered in the State, be required to register with the Secretary of State the name, objects and purposes of their society and identity of all members. New reports would be made each year. Penalty for failure to comply with the provisions of the act would be six months to one year imprisonment and a fine of from $1,000 to $5,000 for the offending organizations' officers. REPRESENTATION TO BE GIVEN COLORED PEOPLE ON JURIES REPRESENTATION TO BE GIVEN COLORED PEOPLE ON JURIES In the case of the State of Arizona against W. T. West, taken up in the Superior Court on Wednesday for trial, Judge Stanford held that the entire panel of the jury serving during the present year was illegal because the names of all colored people were stricken from the list of jurors by the Board of Supervisors before same were transmitted to the Clerk. When the case was called for trial and for the swearing the jury Attorney, Spencer B. Pugh, attorney for West, filed a challenge to the array upon the ground that the statutes had not been complied with last January when the jury was drawn, in that the names were not regularly chosen. Upon the hearing of the plea, the secretary of the Board of Supervisors was called to the stand and admitted that before sending the list to the Clerk all names of colored people were stricken out, as was the custom. Attorney Pugh then refused to go further with the case and submitted that the panel was illegally drawn, and after presentation of legal authorities was sustained and upheld. This had the effect of invalidating the entire panel as to any case where it is objected to. The result will be that hereafter all citizens of the county will be placed on the panel of jurors in their regular order in accordance with the constitution and laws of the United States and of Arizona. her husband. Mrs. Hall and daughter have been splendid citizens, and Mrs. Hall's departure is regretted by her many friends. It is the hope of all that she and her husband will return some time in the future, and again make their home in Prescott. We wish for them success in their new location. Services at the Peoples A. M. E. Z. church are growing more and more interesting, and large crowds are attending. The pastor is a wonderful man, and his sermons are short and to the point, and are not tiresome. When you are anxious to have a stirring sermon, go out and hear this good man. Regular services at the usual hour. A Christmas tree will be had on Christmas night at the Peoples A. M. E. Z. church, and a program given by the Sunday School. The public is cordially invited to be present. Services at the Mt. Olive Baptist church were as follows last Sunday: Sunday School at 9:30.

Visitors were Mr. Albert Lee Sells, Mr. Coleman, and Mrs. Buffett. The meeting adjourned and praise services were conducted by Deacon Woods and Bro. Folds. Promptly at 8 o'clock the pastor de ANOTHER MINISTER IN NEW YORK COMES OUT FOR KLANISM ANOTHER MINISTER IN NEW YORK COMES OUT FOR KLANISM (Special to The Tribune) NEW YORK, Dec. 21—Another New York minister of the Gospel has come out for the klan in the person of the Rev. Dr. New Dwight Hillis, pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church, of Brooklyn. Dr. Hillis, speaking last night on the klan, attacked the enemies of the organization and declared that the principles for which the klan stood should be defended by every white American who is not under the domination of the Church of Rome. He declared that the klan had not been convicted of the many crimes charged against it, and ignored the difficulty of fastening upon a secret organization whose membership is not known, responsibility for crimes committed under the cover of night and behind the shield of mask and sheet. "Multitudes of criminal charges have been brought against the Ku Klux Klan, but thus far our best newspapers in running down these charges have not found anywhere north of the Mason and Dixons line any conclusive proofs of these alleged crimes, nor apparently has there been one crime by the Ku Klux Klan established before a court of law." The crimes committed by the Ku Klux Klan south of the Mason Dixon line apparently had no interest for this latest addition of the Christian clergy to the Ku Klux. Hooded Knights Issue Defi to New York Mayor (Special to The Tribune) NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 15—The Ku Klux Klan assumed an attitude of defiance of Mayor Hyllan's orders last Monday when Rev. Dr. Oscar Haywood, the Klans' national lecturer and only spokesman in this city, announced the membership campaign will go forward here despite the Mayor's warning that he "simply will not tolerate with it." "What is he (the Mayor) going to do about it?" asked Dr. Haywood. "He can find out from Police Commissioner Enright where I am if he wants me. In fact, I intend to call on Mayor Hyllan in a day or so to tell him what the Klan stands for and assure him we are in fullest accord and sympathy with everything patriotic. "I shall probably look up Charles F. Murphy also. I would like to see him. As active a politician as he is ought to be patriotic, and I feel at home with men who are patriotic. I would like to talk to him about some things dear to the hearts of patriotic citizens." HONORARY A. P. A. A WICHITA, Kan.—Bishop W.

Everybody is cordially invited to attend the big Christmas tree given at the Mt. Olive Baptist church Christmas night. Dont forget the date and place. A good program will be rendered. Mr. John Ross, a patient at Fort Whipple, answered the summons of the Grim Reaper Monday evening, his death being deeply mourned by doctors, nurses, comrades and friends. Mr. Ross came to Prescott before the hospital was turned over to the public health, or about that time. He was one of the first patients there among the colored. Some months ago Mr. Ross left for the coast, where he spent several months in the hospital there, but returned to Prescott because of the extreme health advantages here, and apparently was getting along nicely. He leaves a sister to mourn his departure, many of his nearest relatives having gone on before, leaving only the two. The many friends of Mr. Ross share the bereavement with his sister. It is to be regretted when one so promising is called by death so early in life. His native state was Missouri, and it has not been as certaind whether the body will be shipped there for interment. Race probs bound to give way before the influence of character, education and wealth. These are necessary to the growth of our race. Without wealth there can be no leisure, without leisure there can be no thought, and without thought there can be no progress. Booker T.

BRIGHTEN THE CORNER WHERE YOU ARE See if you cannot make some heart happier today, tomorrow and every day. See if you cannot plant a smile upon some old cheek. See if you cannot dry the tears of weeping mothers and lessen the sorrows of the afflicted. Remember that a kind word, a cheerful smile, or a kind act costs you little or nothing. Add to the costless words and smiles material benefits if in your power to do so. Somebody's boy or somebody's girl needs help, advice, an opportunity to do something beneficial and remunerative; something that will keep the wolf from the door; something that will enable them to feed and clothe themselves properly. If you know of needy cases do not proclaim them to the world, but get busy and do your duty to human kind. Let your philanthropic spirit have free action and quietly seek to do good. There may be a boy in your circle of acquaintance who needs help. Help him. It may be a girl. Help her. Both the boy and girl have aspirations to learn some trade or profession. Help them. Put opportunities in their way and encourage them to go onward and upward to the success they deserve, and which will be theirs provided they are given an opportunity. The history of the human family is full of delightful stories of the rise of poor but worthy young men and women to the heights of fame and fortune. Some have fougt the battles unaided and won the fight. Some have fallen, through misdirected efforts and the world has lost valuable human energy. Keep your eyes open and your heart warm with sympathy for your fellow man. It will cost you nothing and may do a world of good, lessen the number of human wrecks and raise the standard of human intellect. All around us are men and women who might have made shinning marks in this world, could they but have had a little kindly advice when they were young; a little help from those in position to give substantial aid; not always in money, but in cheerful words, pleasant smiles, kind acts and opportunities to make of themselves all that they are capable of being. Here is a boy with a talent for mechanics, another for engineering, another for music, another for literature or the law, and all about us there are talents that will be worth untold wealth to the nation if given an opportunity to develop. Do not discourage the young in well doing. Do not belittle their hopes and aspirations; but encourage them in every worthy undertaking, and if you live until they mature you will have the satisfaction of taking pride in the knowledge that you helped and encouraged them to press onward and upward to success. Do not be a grouch. The world has no room for grouches. Be an energizing unit in your community, radiating cheerfulness and spreading happiness where ever you may go. Cheerfulnes is an epidemic. It spreads like the measles and infects all who come into the presence of a cheerful person. The kind word, the cheerful smile, the helpful act, all cost little or nothing and they "brighten up the corner where you are." Remember, "The thing that goes the fartherest toward making life worth while; that costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile; its full of worth and goodness, too, with genial kindness blent; its worth a million dollars, and it doesn't cost a cent." More than 1,078,331 colored men promptly responded to, and were registered under the three Selective Service calls. New Orleans has had colored people in it almost from the day of its foundation in 1717. At least since 1769. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING The Cross-Cut mination, "this vein doesn't look like much, and the mine looks worse. But if you're game, I'm game, and we'll work the thing until it breaks us." "You've said it. If we it anything, fine and well—if we can turn out five thousand dollars' worth of stuff before the trial comes up, then we can sell hit under the direction of the court, turn over that money for a cash bond, and get the deeds back. If we can't, and if the mine pete out, then we can't lost anything but a lot of 'opes and time. But 'are goes. Well double-jack. I've got a big 'ammer 'ere. You 'old the drill for awhile and turn it, while I sling th' sledge. Then you take th' ammer and Lor' 'ave mercy on my 'ands if you miss." Fairchild obeyed. Hour after hour they worked. Then, as the afternoon grew late, Harry disappeared far down the drift to return with a handful of greasy, candellike things, wrapped in waxed paper. "I knew that dynamite of yours couldn't be shipped in time, so I bought a little up 'ere," he explained, as he cut one of the sticks in two with a pocketknife and laid the pieces to one side. Then out came a coil of fuse, to be cut to its regular lengths and inserted in the copper-covered caps of fulminate of mercury, Harry showing his contempt for the dangerous things by crimping them about the fuse with his teeth, while Fairchild, sitting on a small pile of muck nearby, begged for caution. But Harry only grinned behind his big mustache and went on. Out came his pocketknife again as he slit the waxed paper of the gelatinous sticks, then inserted the cap in the dynamite. One after another the charges were shoved into the holes, Harry tamping them into place with a steel rod, instead of with the usual wooden affair, his mustache brushing his shoulder as he turned to explain the virtues of dynamite when handled by an expert. "It's all in the wye you do it," he announced. "If you don't strike fire with a steel rod, it's fine." "But if you do?" "Oh, then!" Harry laughed. "Then it's flowers and a funeral-after they've finished picking you up." One after another he pressed the dynamite charges tight into the drill holes and tamped them with muck wrapped in a newspaper that he dragged from his hip pocket. Then he lit the fuses from his lamp and stood a second in assurance that they all were spluttering. "Now we run!" he announced, and they hurried, side by side, down the drift tunnel until they reached the shaft. "Far enough," said Harry. A long moment of waiting. Then the earth quivered and a muffled, booming roar came from the distance. Harry stared at his carbide lamp. "One," he announced. Then. "Two. Three, four and five followed, all counted seriously, carefully by Harry. Finally they turned back along the drift toward the stope, the acid odor of dynamite smoke cutting at their nostrils as they approached the spot where the explosions had occurred. There Harry stood in silent contemplation for a long time, holding his carbide over the pile of ore that had been torn from the vein above. "It ittn't much," came at last. "Not more'n 'arf a ton. We won't get rich at that rate. And besides—" he looked upward—"we ain't even going to be getting that pretty soon. It's pinching out." Fairchild followed his gaze, to see in the torn rock above him only a narrow streak now, fully an inch and a half narrower than the vein had been before the powder holes had been drilled. It could mean only one thing: that the bet had been played and lost, that the vein had been one of those freak affairs that start out with much promise, seem to give hope of eternal riches, and then gradually dwindle to nothing. Harry shook his head. "It won't last." "Not more than two or three more shots." Fairchild agreed. "You can't tell about that. It may run that way all through the mountain—but what's 'a four-inch vein? You can go up 'ere in the Argonaut tunnel and find 'arf a dozen of them things that they don't even take the trouble to mine. That is, unless they run 'igh in silver—" he picked up a chunk of the ore from the muck pile where it had been deposited and studied it intently—"but I don't see any pure silver sticking out in this stuff." "But it must be here somewhere. I don't know anything about mining—but don't veins sometimes pinch off and then show up later on?" "Sure they do—sometimes. But it's a gamble." "That's all we've had from the beginning, Harry." "And it's about all we're going to 'ave any time unless something bobs up sudden like." Then, by common consent, they laid away their working clothes and left the mine, to wander down the gulch and to the boarding house. After dinner they chatted a moment with Mother Howard, then went upstairs, each to his room. An hour later Harry knocked at Fairchild's door, and entered, the evening paper in his hand. "Ere's something more that's nice," he announced, pointing to an item on the front page. It was the announcement that a general grand jury was to be convened late in the summer and that one of its tasks would be to seek to unravel the mystery of the murder of Sisle Larsen! Fairchild read it with morbidity. Trouble seemed to have become more than occasional, and further than that, it appeared to descend upon him at just the times when he could least resist it. He made no comment; there was little that he could say. Again he read the item and again, finally to BANK OF ENGLAND The Bank of England was founded by William Paterson (1658-1719), a long-headed Lowland Scot from Tinwald parish, in Dumfrieshire, skillful in finance, and in matters of trade. It was the first public bank in Great Britain and was chartered in 1694. It was projected to meet the difficulty experienced by King William III. in raising the supplies for the war against France. By the influence of William Paterson and Michael Godfrey, 40 merchants (aided by Charles Montague), subscribed £500,000 toward the sum of £1,200,000 to be lent to the government at 8 per cent, in consideration of the subscribers being incorporated as a bank. The project was strongly opposed in parliament, but the bill secured the royal assent April 25, 1694. DUCK'S CLAIM TO DISTINCTION The Sheldrake, unlike ducks in general, can walk on land with some amount of dignity, there being an entire absence of anything like a waddle. But this is not its only claim to distinction, for in nesting matters it shows marked individuality. Its favorite breeding place is in some sandy spot near to, though not always on, the seashore, and it has an especial liking for rabbit-burrows, from which it evicts the rightful owners without so much as a "By your leave." Once the owner is out, he is never permitted to return while Mr. and Mrs. Sheldrake require the house. Mr. Sheldrake, unlike most others of the duck tribe, takes a great interest in the arrangement of the nest, and bears considerable share in looking after the little brood when it arrives. AN OLD DODGE "Son," said the elderly gentleman, "I notice you are flashing a roll of $1 bills." "What about it?" "Take the advice of a man who has seen something of life. You'd better plaster a couple of twenties on the outside of that bundle if you want to impress the help around here." UNCONSCIOUS HUMOR "Do you subscribe to any humorous magazines" "Yes," said Mr. Grabcoin. I take one that tells poor clerks how they can increase their incomes from $1,200 to $10,000 or $20,000 a year by sitting up late at night and reading success rules. I get a good laugh out of every issue." LYNCHERS SUED LEXINGTON, S. C.—Suit has been entered against Lexington county for $7,500, as the result of the lynching of Will Allen, near here, in August, 1921. BELLS START RUSSIAN TRAINS In Russia trains are sent off by bells at the station because the peasants cannot read the time tables. The first bell is sounded a quarter of an hour before the train starts, the second five minutes before, and the third means the train is starting.

Hot weather frequently will cause clocks and watches long out of use to start running. The heat melts the old oil which has hardened and has clogged the bearings. CITY GATHERED IN LIGHTHOUSE The lighthouse once off Atlantic City, well out to sea, is now 500 yards inland from the board walk, and surrounded by paved streets and apartment houses. NEGRO FARMERS PROSPER WASHINGTON-By following the instructions of United States Department of Agricultural extension workers, over 14,000 Negro farmers increased their crop yield last year on an average of 50 per cent. CITY DRIVING In an alley some small boys were taking turns riding a pony. Above the clatter of hoofs on the pavement, a shrill juvenile voice was heard shrieking, "Open him up. Eddie, open him up. Aw gree—he ain't half open." WOMAN ATTEMPTS TO COMMIT SUICIDE ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 15—According to police reports Mrs. Mary Hanes, of 80 Gilmer street, attempted to commit suicide last Monday night by swallowing a small vial of poison. The screams of the suffering woman attracted attention of the police, who broke into her house and took her to the Grady hospital, where a stomach pump was used. She will probably recover. It is said that officers searched her home and found a number of beautiful pillow cases and bed clothing and concluded that these were stolen. A warrant has been issued against the woman, charging her as being a suspicious person. "LIZA" MAKES A HIT NEW YORK—The Sixty-third Street Theatre is again the scene of a colored show.
