Connor, Millionaire Philanthropist and Race Benefactor-- Gave the Negroes Two Fine Churches. The Hon. Thomas Connor, million aire, miner, philanthropist, politician and one of Joplin's foremost citizens has been called from earth to higher spheres On the morning of Good Friday, March 29th, the soul of the lamented Thomas Connor took its flight into the realms beyond this vale of tears. Mr. Connor had been confined in a sanitarium at San Antonio, Texas, all winter, having contracted a severe cold during the campaign of last fall. The news of his death was received with sadness by the entire populace, and tears glistened in the eyes of many. He was born in County Kerry, Ireland, and when four years old his parents emigrated to America and made their home at Tiffin, O. His father died when he was seven years old, and when quite young Mr. Connor felt it a duty to earn his own living and began his career as a railway newsboy. During the Civil War, when he was 13 years old, he entered the army as newsboy in the Eighth Ohio, and soon was agent for the entire Second corps under General Hancock. He was on the firing line many times, notably at Antietam and Gettysburg, and was often praised for his courage and soldierly bearing. He was made a member of the Grand Army of the Republic by virtue of his services. He saved of his earnings as newsboy, and the war was over he purchased a team and wagon and started for the West. He arrived at what is Joplin and became interested in mining; he was not successful, however, in his first ventures. Later he opened a livery stable and conducted a hack line in Carthage. Thus was his fortune laid. He then began buying land until at the time of his death he owned between 5,000 and 6,000 acres and was one of the wealthiest men of Missouri. Mr. Connor was united in marriage to a Miss Melissa Wiltox at White Pigeon, Mich., in 1874. No children blessed the union. Soon after marriage Mrs. Connor's health became such that she was sent to the home - UNITY BAPTIST CHURCH JOPLIN, MO REV. J. A. DUNCAN, PARTOR. for the feebl-minded in St Louis, where she has since remained. But Mr. Connor never forgot his unfortunate wife, and during his life he amply provided for all her wants, and his will contained specific instructions for the support and care of his wife as long as she shall live. He let one sister several nephews and nieces and a little girl that he adopted several years ago. Mr. Connor's charities were many. Historical Society State House VOLUME IX By Mina Mollasa Fuell He gave $20,000 to St. Peter's Catholic church, now in process of building in this city. he gave $20,000 to St. Mary's church at Tiffin, where his funeral services were conducted. The Negroes of Joplin as everyone knows received $5,000 from him for the erection of three beautiful church edifices that will stand for years to come—barring disasters—as a testimony of goodwill to the Negro race. St. John's hospital and the Orphan's Home each received large donations. His smaller charities were innumerable. He was engaged in building a magnificent hotel here to cost nearly $100,000 at the time of his death. The Negro race will ever hold the name of this great and good man in grateful remembrance, for he was as true to his friends of darker hue as he was to his white friends; he was truly one of earth's noblemen, though he bore no title. "Tom Connor," as he was familiarly known, is not dead, but gone on before, and his name will live on and on as long as Joplin stands, for he has built not only monuments of stone, but has reared spiritual monuments of love and gratitude in the hearts of the people. As a mark of his esteem he left $10,000 to the city, the interest of which is to be spent for the city's poor. But now his star has gone down beyond the horizon, but it set amid a blaze of glory—Rest in peace. The Democratic party in convention assembled in the city of Joplin in the fall of 1906, nominated the Hon Thomas Connor to be the standard bearer for state senatorial honors. The position was unsought for by Mr. Connor, but as it was pressed upon him by the delegates, he reluctantly accepted. In a vigorous campaign in which he took but a small part, he was elected by a handsome majority, being popular with parties. Several years previous to this campaign he occupied the position of treasurer of the state central committee of the Democratic party. When the National campaign was the gold or silver standard with UNITY BAPTIST CHURCH JOPLIN, MO McKinley and Bryant for the stand ard bearers for the two great parties he cast his fortune for sound money and supported McKinley and the Republican platform.

Willing at all times to do that which would assist the laborers, he was a firm advocate of the fellow servant bill and the eight hour bill which confronted the general assembly at its host session. When the Missouri legislature was baloting for a U.S. senator he was there striving with all his energy for R. C. Kerens, a Republican nominee. Thus it was throughout his entire life in the political arena; he was ever watchful to do that which was the more beneficial for the people. Mr. Connor was not a noted politician because the tricks and schemes necessary for present successful pol THE LATE THOM Millionaire Philanthropist, W.

It through his influence he could be instrumental in creating that which would dignity labor, lighten the burdens of the working man, or legislate for their general welfare, he was ever on the side of right. The state has lost a good counsellor, the country and district a conservative man politically, the city of Joplin an apostle of good, honest government for and by the people. PERSONALITY OF THE MAN. When we, the bereaved members of the M. M. church and the Baptist church with the respective pastors, Rev. R. G. Smith and Rev J. A. Duncan, now look upon our beautiful churches so unostentatiously given to us by Mr Connor, they be come more sacred to us. We gave, and our thoughts travel to the inner soul of the giver, the personality of the man. How much he resembled the Son of God' Born of humble parents, like the Saviour, and losing even their humble protection at a very early age, he had to struggle hard foy a livelihood, First, a newsboy; then a hackman; then a speculator; doing any honest thing to gain his place among men. The making of a man, although greatly influenced often by his surroundings, depends upon the man himself. Look at Mr. Connor in his youth and compare him with Mr. Connor in later days. The common newsboy of the streets and the army is transformed into a billionaire. Is not this a wonderful transformation? Did his education do this? Did his wealthy environment inspire this? Ah, no! I was the great personality of the man, his inner self constantly grading him to work with untiring diligence and perseverance through his entire life. With his ever always open he learned the lessons which nature is ever teach us. With no one around to help him he soon learned the lessons of self reliance which was his great sustenance. It has been quoted that the estimation of his wealth is unknown, this can be said or quite a few men of this age, but the remarkable thing is that the estimation of his gifts is unknown. He never forgot his oppressed and less fortunate brother. He always sought him in a modest, quiet way. No sorrowing person ever came to him in need and went away in despair. Oh what a beautiful personality, what a wonderful character to hang on the walls of our churches, on the walls THOMAS CONNOR. He Gave the Colored People of Magnificent Churches. of our hearts and say to our children as Longfellow said; Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the roads of time. It was a sad band of citizens who met in Trinity chapel Wednesday morning April 3rd, at 10 a.m. Business closed; workmen ceased their labors and gathered together to pay their last respects to the deceased in the way of memorial services. Rev. R. G. Smith conducted the services and delivered an excellent discourse, comparing Connor with our Lord and Saviour in several characteristics. Mrs. L. M. Clarke read a paper on the life of Mr. Connor. Several others spoke, among them Mr. C. H. Knaves, a progressive barber of this city and one of Mr. Connor's bosom friends. Mr. Knaves told us a great many things of Mr. Connor's early and later life. They were as brothers and often consulted each other on various propositions. It was through the much respected Mr. Knaves that the above mentioned churches were given to the Negroes. Mr Connor wanted to do something for "Charley" as he brotherly called him, and for Charley's people. He is gone, but his deeds will live forever. We can only say with the deepest regret, as each member of the M. E. church bows his head in grief: The soul of Mr. T'owner fled. And now I am numbered with the dead Not only does the M. K. hand of Joelin weep and wring their hands. But in our church, both far and near, The news was heard with sighs and tears Our publicly conference just adjourned learned.

We pray the God of peace will bless Our dear one a soul that’s laid to rest And hearts that must lose this dear, good one; But not our will—it’s be done. In the evening the memorial services were continued at Unity Baptist church, Rev Duncan, the pastor, officiating. The Choral Union furnished fitting and appropriate music. Special papers were prepared for the occasion and the individuals who were on the program showed by their subject matter that much study and thought had been given to their work. Indeed, the many spoke of the excellence of the productions and the success of the meeting. The following ladies read those excellent papers: "Mr. Connor as a Citizen," Mrs Russell Ketrell: "As a Man," Mrs. John Penman, "A Good Man has Fallen," Mrs. C. H. Knaves; "Our Benefactor," M. Ellis Bland; "Voices of the Dead." Mr. M. Lowe Resolutions were adopted at both churches. The above cuts show the pictures of these churches. They are the most popular churches in the city, being presided over by the respective pastors, Rev. R. G. Smith and Rev. J. A. Duncan. A sad aspect seems to be connected with the churches since this terrible loss. The deep mourning both on the interior and exterior seems to touch the heart of every passer-by. He is gone, but not forgotten. Peace to his dust is our prayer. Respectfully submitted, BAPTIST CHURCH, REV. J. A. DUNCAN Pastor, M. E. CHURCH, REV. R. G. SMITH, Pastor. The most important and successful meeting of the Topeka Business League this year was held Thursday evening of last week at Stonecrest and Hamilton's Undertaking establishment. The attendance was large and representative of the best and most successful colored business men in Shawnee county. The most conspicuous feature of the meeting was the spirit in which every one present took part in the discussions and general plans for the entertainment of the National Negro Business League next August. Every one displayed keen interest in the success of the meeting, and there was not the least sign of personal or selfish interest shown by any. The committee on home and location has begun to list the homes of those who will entertain the delegates during the meeting. The membership committee is making an active canvass to increase the membership of the league to 300. The league has adopted an attract- THE CHURCH THE CHURCH OF ST. JOHN'S TRINITY CHAPEL.—R. G.

The Twenty-third Kansas Threw Dice Overboard and Prayed During a Terrific Storm. Five hundred pairs of dice are lying on the bottom of the Atlantic ocean somewhere off the east coast of the United States, unless the fishes have swallowed them and carried them away. The spotted cubes were thrown overboard by the Negroes of the Twenty third Kansas regiment during a violent storm at sea, the sacrifice having been prompted by penitence. It was while the Negro regiment was on board the ship Vigilanca en route to Cuba in September, 1898, that a storm converted a score of boisterous crap games into a fervent religious meeting. The Twenty-third regiment went from Topeka to New York city, and from there sailed for Cuba. There was no sleep on board of the Vigilanca the first night out. It is said that practically all of the Negroes who were not prostrated with seasickness were shooting eraps. The scene is described as one of mingled suffering and excitement. The distressed pleaded quiet and rest, but were unheeded by the noisy gamblers. Above the cries and moans of the suffering, such language as this could be heard in different parts of the vessel. "It's 'leveu an' I know it." "Shot de money." "Didn't I get a coon" Late at night while the games were all running high a violent storm broke suddenly upon the sea. When the wind struck the Vigilanca a rudder was broken and she whirled 'round and 'round and then dipped down into the hollow of a mtighty wave. The shock was unexpected and in a moment the soldiers were experiencing all the horrors of a storm at sea. The Negroes grabbed up the dice and loose changa and huddled together like THE CHURCH OF THE NUNS cattle, some of them moaning and others too frightened to utter a sound. The storm raged for an hour, the soldiers thinking that each moment would be their last. Fortunately there was a Negro preacher on board, the Rev. John L. Waller. It was for him Continued on Page 4. NUMBER 17 "I did not vote in the country. I entered it twice, and I regret that a pleasant visit to the White House must be made the occasion for a disagreeable discussion in a duty paper, and that I should be placed in the attitude of opposing Senator Torokkei, for whom I have the highest regard, and who, to my mind, is one of the best friends the Negro has in this country today. Such has been his record for the post thirty years." The above statement ought to convain all four persons that the bishops referred to will not forsake the vote and the right. Do us it was unthinkable and we sent a representative of the bureau to call upon bishops to count and hold our views confirmed. We regret however that this rule was not followed by some of the colonial press. The title board sent out from the White House is reporting the visit was designed to show that there was a division of feeling in the true as well as to intimidate some work men by showing them that the A.M.P. bishops were for the president in this great battle for human rights by the race as against oppression by the president. The bishops of the A.M.P. church are with and for the war. The work of the colonial bank of the M. C. A. is still making progress. Subscriptions are still coming in and the prospects are very bright for the future, according to statements made by those in charge. We wish the movement success.

And today the man who is making her bed in the attendant's cell who have some time attended Tusksey are men whose trays had been taught them before they saw Tusksey.

But this we all change, denial and not necessary we will have by a presentation of the name we have the proof of our association Tusksey teaches but something will and that is that the colored man has no rights which the white man is bound to treat it. It was the far America it has held at pountain of no known born man it almost is that it cannot injure a person to so resolve. channel that had lent it time to the work. The secretary of the financial department of the M.P. church has just made his annual report. It is the greatest report in the history of the M.P. denomination. It is but necessary to mention but one fact to show the connections of this view. When the general conference met in Chicago in 1907 the liabilities were $103,560.52, and when the report was tendered last week it showed not only a reduction of the liabilities shown at Chicago, but a balance of Arms By the shred financing of Dr. E.

As a fortune is not only a credit to our country but to our nation. We are grateful to the L. impetus upon us to the baskropike. I will hold the center of the stage, and that I do not kill you against the president. We believe they can. We believe in the manhood of the people of time that they will never submit to the dictates of the executive of the nation as to their choice for the presidents. If the people of this country have come to the point where this is to be done, then it is time to throw off the duality of government and knowledge instead of a republic an autocracy, with President Kennedy at its head. This time has not come and will not come. We will have faith in the colored voters of Ohio and they are armed strong, and they are going to see to it that Senator Bork has their support. The appointment of Ralph W. Bork to try to offset this vote is really several of the members of Lyon's own family, we have now dismissed their knight for allowing himself to be used to injure Senator Borker. Thus it will be seen that the president must also estimate of the colored people of Ohio when he offers to carry all the colored people of the state has been tainted to carry the whole Lyon family. He is standing for Borker and they will stand until the end. P - WINTER FARM COMMENT. South Carolina grocers are leaving the turns to work in the turpentine forests and farmers say that they will be obliged to decrease their acreage of cotton and corn owing to the lack of help. Consternation has been created among the poultry commission men in New York through the organization of the allied duck raises into a trust. The duck is becoming an important factor in the poultry market and the breeders think they have not made as much money out of this bird as they should have. New York cuts 200,000 ducks every year and the commission men and the retail dealers get more than half the price, leaving the farmers the little end of the stick. The duck trust will now control prices. The directors of the Farmers' Cooperative Harvesting Machine Company of North America, organized at Springfield, Ohio, to tight the International Harvester Machine Company of Chicago, at their meeting in January deposed the president William M.

Professor Aurilia of the New Jersey agricultural college, urge farmers to take up sheep raising. He says that much of the farm land of that state is potentially adapted to this industry. Out of a crop of 90,000,000 bushels of wheat raised in Canada last year it is estimated that 190,000,000 bushels are still in the hands of the farmers. Michigan farmers who raised hectares last year averaged about 20 bushels per acre and it is claimed that the net price was 1 per bushel. William Collins, a large grass farmer of Watton, Connecticut, saw an advertisement in an agricultural paper by an Oshkosh man in which he offered for fifty cents to describe a new and cheap way to raise goats. Collins forwarded the money and in a few days got a letter from the man in Oshkosh which read: "For them on an elevator. This is one out of advertising 11 farmers. Advice is not ascertained." P. W.

The ear shortage is now greater than ever in the history of the country. The Fullerton Elevator company of Fullerton, Neb., a farmer's organization, declared a net dividend of 15 per cent last year, leaving a $7,000 surplus in the treasury. The charter paid out nearly $0,000 for grain. Professor Biglow of the government weather bureau claims that he will be able to make accurate predictions re- garding the general conditions and changes of weather at least a year ahead. If this is true it will be of great value to farmers. The farmers of eastern Washington, eastern Oregon and northern Idaho have formed an organization to control the price of grain and will build their own warehouses. There was a slight increase last year in British arable land and a decrease in grass land. Eighty-seven per cent of all the agricultural land in England is occupied by tenants. Shrinkage in farm values in New York state during the last 25 years is placed at $200,000,000 by the state commission of agriculture. There are 2,500 farms in that state which are for sale. During the past season certain agricultural scientists of France have made much progress in the development of a new species of potato which promises to become fixed and possess much value as an addition to the food resources of Europe.

There is as yet no such thing in Japan as equality between the sexes.

Disobedience, adultery, homosexuality, physical antipathy, and dissent or that When a girl be about 10 months her mother in law upon her will asks of conduct to be follow during her wabbed into.

"Liven if your husband is in the wrong, never get angry. "Never speak evil of your neighbors. "Stifle obedience to a husband is a wife's noblest virtue." The New Japanese Trade. Nobunari Mizumu, professor of law in the University of Tokyo, in a paper on the new Japanese code read at the recent international congress of arts and sciences at St. Louis gave an interesting exposition of the manner in which the Japanese have sought to conform their legal system to western ideas. The method employed has been conservative, realizing for the time being some of the most firmly implanted of the old customs rather than inviting by an attempt to revolutionize everything a motion which might defeat the purpose of the new code About the year 700 a legal code based upon Chinese moral philosophy, with the cult of ancestor worship and the feudal system, was drawn up and promulgated. This code, with some minor minor in its continuation in force until the coming of the nineteenth century. A system of such antiquity naturally had to be reckoned with by the drafters of the new code, though their task was somewhat slim'ed by the fact that the old laws had never been published. They had been made for the obligation of the judges and other officials. The decree promulgating the new preliminary code after the restoration of the emperor in 1803 followed this tradition in addressing itself to the officials of the empire. When the second code was proclaimed, however, in 1873, the emperor's subjects, as well as his officials, were commanded to obey it, and it was declared that "henceforth every law upon its promulgation shall be posted in conspicuous places for the information of the people," making it evident to the Japanese that their government was to be from that time one of laws and not of men. The legal condition of women was one of the most complicated problems which confronted the revisionists. Both Buddhism and feudalism had Japanese women kept in a state of dependency. The Chinese doctrine of the three obediences was strictly enforced under the old law—in childhood a female was subject to her father, in youth to her husband, after her husband's death to her sons. A woman had no legal rights which her husband or sons were bound to respect. In dealing with this question the drafters of the new code made a clean sweep of tradition and established legal rights for women similar to those of the most advanced European nations. Unless otherwise stated in the marriage contract, the property of a woman at the time of her marriage now remains hers. She may also acquire property after marriage and hold it in her own name. There is no distinction between the legal rights of an unmarried woman and a male citizen. A woman now has the same rights as a man in the matter of divorce. In the maintenance of the "house," a survival of the old clan system, the new code has been less radical. The unit of state in Japan is still the family rather than the individual, but the powers of the head of the house now are practically limited to certain rights connected with ancestor worship and control over the marriage of subordinates members. Any member of the house may own property and on his death leave it to his heirs, where formerly it reverted to the head of the clan. It is believed that in time the "house" will be disintegrated and will join the rest of the medieval customs of Japan in the limbo of the past. A French authority on European affairs, M. Ayes Guyot, proclaims in the North American Review that Russia will hereafter encounter hostility in attempting to flout war loans. He says that the French investors are now awake to the fact that the France-Russian alliance is a one-sided affair, so far as advantage goes, and that Russia has flooded that country with her bonds. Russia's weakness is so manifold, says M. Guyot, that the limit of faith in her future will soon be reached in France. Russia still has an immense gold reserve to fight on, and the end of the war is not likely to come soon because of her financial straits. Yet failure of credit in the house of friends is not a pleasant prospect for a nation situated as Russia is. Our neighbors on the north seem not at all given to the worship of imported greatness. Some time ago England sent over a titled major general to reorganize the Canadian militia, and the colonial premier plainly told his lord ship that he was not wanted. In the late national election the Laurier administration, which snubbed this pretentious individual and caused his recall, gained votes as a result of the incident. Not alone St. Louis, but the whole country may be congratulated over the success of the Louisiana l'urchase position. The labors of the project and managers have been appreciated, and millions of people have added to their stock of knowledge in a way that can never be forgotten. The correspondents in the far east, having nothing better to do, seem to be amazing themselves by inventing new and more tantalizing ways of spelling the names of Manchester villages.

As far and as deeply as her nature knew how to love, most certainly Ethel Sinclair loved Frank Gretan, and very dearly also she loved his future prospects, and only a few hours before she had learned that another was his promised wife—another whom she had known at school—another whose story she had told Mrs. Gretan, and which Mrs. Gretan had told her son. He stood before Lethel now, his face strangely pale, his lips drawn in a tense line. "Impact again that it is true," he said, "but even yet I cannot believe it." "After all," Lathil said, "it was not her fault, for she was little more than a child and she she was originally voiced, but surely she must have known your heart, on that subject, but most likely thought him dead. In fact a great many people thought so, but—" "But he is alive." "Very much so, I believe."

Was this her lover, this cold, proud man who awaited her answer with questioning eyes? Whatever the sun or the shame, she had not hand in it, and though its shudow tell around her, she would not droop her head before this lover, who came as a nuage. When she stood before him, so tall, so pale, so spiritless, with her clear, dark eyes and pout, upifted face, the whitest of all the loss, he it would be his swapt over him, and maddened to not the moment.

"Is it true that you have deceived me as man was never deceived before." "For a moment she was tempted to re-out that, though the story was true, she had not deceived him; for she had not known the truth when she gave him or promise, but— "It is true," was all she said.

A few weeks ago the church made an effort to clear herself of debt by raising the last $800 of the mortgage; the effort ended on last Sabbath with the necessary cash on hand to rid the church of the entire mortgage debt. For many years St. John has struggled with an embarrassing and heavy debt, which has hindered the cause in many waves and yet a faithful membership, supported by many loyal friends and a charitable public have fought to victory. The pastor, officers and members feel very grateful to all who have stood by the cause in all these years and take this method to say thanks a thousand times to their friends and helpers. At an early date the public will be invited to attend a mortgage sale and jubilee at which time St. John will entertain the community with a special program and banquet. It is worthy of remark that of the thirty persons appointed by the pastor to bring in the last $300 of the $500 that was needed to liquidate the debt of St. John, not one failed to report. Thanks to the collectors. Mrs. Mollie Langston is reported among the sick of the church this week. The Jubilee concert was a great success. The singing, was enjoyed by all. The financial results were quite satisfactory. A good crowd greeted the singers. The program would do credit to a regular troup on the road.

Bishop Washington Grant, presiding bishop of the fifth episcopal district of the V.M.I. church, and president of the financial board of the V.M.I. church, now in session in this city was much surprised to read an affair in paper a statement regarding his visit to the White House with Bishop Thomas and Registrar Norman. The afternoon paper declared that "both of the colored bishops are men of influence, politically and otherwise, and are ready to be willing to undertake the task of dictating the negro vote back to the administration." "Such a statement is quite important to the president as to me and those are accompanying me" said Bishop Trout "We indebted Rev. J. O. Scott for a chime in the army for which appointment we felt grateful, but with that endorsement our visit ended. "I did not press myself regarding the colored vote of that country. The entire story is false, and I regret that a picture and visit to the White House must be made the occasion for a disagreeable discussion in the daily papers, and that I should be placed in the attitude of opposing Senator Foraker, for whom I have the highest regard, and who, to my mind, is one of the best friends the negro has in America today. Such has been as reward for the past thirty years. Vice President Farnbanks is a fellow town man of mine in Indianapolis, and a personal friend, whose high character and acknowledged ability I much admire." DEWEY, I. T. Dewey, I. T.

The letter had just returned from a nightlight's absence "Any good?" he injured lacoonically, intent upon splitting open a huge pile of mail. "She is not as familiar with business lenses as I should," replied Brant- well, looking slightly embarrassed. DeVonne taced about suddenly "She!" he repeated. "I thought we agreed never to admit a woman into the office." "It was all quite unintentional on my part," explained the other apologetically "You see, when Smith sent word that he had to go to Colorado for his health, I telephoned the agency to send over a competent young man. Well, instead, about half an hour later, Miss Nolle put in an appearance, and she seemed so expiant and hopeful that somehow I didn't have the heart to stand her away again, just because of her sex. She is quite able and very willing, and I thought it wouldn't do any harm to give her a chance." "I won't have a girl around the place," announced DeVine griffly, turning his back. "Very well, you can tell her so," snarled Brantwell, slamming out of the room. Mr. Hal DeVine faced about and stared resentfully after his partner. "By jovel I say, that's not fair," he expostulated to the walls "He goes and engages some foolish little snip, whom I naturally doprove, and then refuses to stand the penalty of his indiscretion and discharge her himself" Then Mr. DeVanne recommenced tearing vultuously at his letters and soon forgot the unpleasant incident. Having mastered the contents of his mail, the young man touched an electric button at one corner of his desk and sorted his papers preparatory to duplication. The door opened and closed softly, and Devanne turning toward the stenographer's chain, always placed at one end of his desk, suddenly gave a great grimp "Are you—are you the new atenographer?" he demanded, losing his self-poseon completely at the unexpected apparition. "Ye mighty powerful what eyes!" thought the man, dropping his papers and stooping confusedly to pick them up again. Miss Nolle demurely arranged her pencils. "Yes," she said, "I'm the new stenographer, but I hate the term and I do with one of you would make me a private secretary." His private secretary! DeVinne felt unpeekably annoyed at the mere suggestion. The idea of a girl like that being anyone's secretary "Are you ready?" inquired Miss Nolle softly DeVinne started and realized with a blush that he had been staring Oh, you! he said, assuming a frown and opening his throat "Mr. J. A. Brown Los Angeles Cali forma" "She has a hand like a baby's," he told himself with delight, fascinatedly watching the pink finger tips moving over the paper. Suddenly Miss Nolle looked up into his face, and this time there was the hint of a smile in her eyes. "Do you wish to address Mr. Brown 'dear air,' or 'my dear air'?" she in quired. "I don't care, whatever you like," he said hastily and plunged again into his direction. Brantwell returned just as Miss Nolle left the office with her book half full of notes. As soon as the door closed behind her DeVinne began indignantly. "She is exceedingly conscientious," retorted Blantwell, "and I can't see what difference it makes how she looks as long as she turns out her work." "It will never do to keep that girl in the office," replied the other man short- ly. "Why all the clerks will be falling in love with her." Brantwell sniffed. "It's too bad about the clerks," he retorted, "but if you really object to having a girl around you had better tell her so." Brantine cleared his throat and closed the desk with a slim. The next day Brantwell, with a numerous smile, announced that he had found a young man with quite the proper recommendations to enter their employ. "Enrage him," said Brantine promptly. Meanwhile, I will mention the matter to Miss Nolle when the right opportunity occurs. We shall have to give her decent notice. Anyway we have work enough to keep two people busy for a while. The girl has been slaving." "She is pretty slow," observed Brantwell. "I can't see that at all," objected the other man "Naturally a delicate little girl like that cannot be expected to pound away all the time like some great bulk of a man. That is why I have all ways objected to having women around." "Nevertheless, I hate to have your job of discharging her," muttered Brantwell. "Miss Nolle is a very sensible young woman, and she will understand as soon as I explain how I feel upon the subject" "That won't help her to support her mother and educate her young sister, though" "You don't mean to say that little thing is carrying such a load?" "Yes, she is, and I believe there is a capuccine brother whom she has to help out of trouble occasionally." DeVine grounded and then flung his pen across the desk. "I can't help it," he growled, "this office is no charity bureau and I won't have a woman around." The young man stenographer had been in their employ a full fortnight when Mr. Brantwell brought the subject up again. "The work, seems to be pretty well up now," he suggested, "and our correspondence department is costing twice as much as ever before." DeVine looked apologetic. "I've been so busy," he exclaimed, "the matter his shipped my mind completely. I will tell her today," and he touched his burrow with a businesslike ear. Brantwell seized his hat and rushed out. Miss Nolle entered smiling, and as his eyes encountered the dainty little figure, some of the determination faded from Hal DeVine's face. "I had no dictation," he said in answer to her expectant look, after she had settled herself and poised her pen笔. "I - I wanted to talk to you a little about your own affairs" Miss Nolle appeared somewhat astonished. "Do you thing it is exactly pleasant for you to be situated here in an office full of men?" he acquired kindly. "Don't you think -er- that if you could find a position with some woman, say as society secretary or something, that it would be better!" "I should hate it," the girl said promptly. "Women are awfully hard on their own sex. I never could get along. Why I knew a girl once who need to be in lady doctor's office, and she was worked almost to death." "But I must tell you -" commented the man awkwardly, and then stopped short. A pair of lovely, tender eyes were regarding him amusingly and a dimple was dancing in one pink cheek. The young man felt that it was a physical impossibility for him to shatter that gladness. "Have I done anything wrong?" she inquired with sudden fear, as he hesitated. "Bless you heart, child, not a bit of it," he hastened to reassure her. "I only wanted to say that I am arranging a small theater party for a visiting chap and I would be glad if you could join us" "Oh, how good of you," she cried joyfully, "I like the play better than anything, and I hardly ever have a chance to go." "Well," inquired Brantwell the next morning, "when does Miss Nolle leave me? I must ask she does not seem to be at all cast down." "None of your business," snarled De Vinne from behind a mass of papers. Brantwell roared with laughter. "Drop that," roared his partner. "I mean to assume her salary until the right time comes to dispense with her services." Brantwell said no more. He knew just how far to go with his friend and never overstepped the bounds. It was three months before the right time came, and meanwhile the first theater party had been followed by innumerable others, until DeVinne and Miss Nolle fell into the habit of attending the play at least once a week. And in the end it was not the man who gave his stenographer notice, but the girl, who came to him, white and shaken, with downcast eyes, and said A MONEY MAKER. My scheme brings me from $5 to $10 per day every time I operate it. Strictly legitimate. No capital or investment required. Anyone can work it successfully.

Hal demanded in the wet most astonishment. She shook her head. I thought you were so happy here. "Not now," she managed to arti- lize late. "Dearest, have confidence in me. Tell me what troubles you. I love you and it makes me miserable to see you like this." The girl began to tremble. "I that is it," she murmured, "that is what they say all around the office, that—that you—that we—" "Well, they are quite right. I fell in love with you the first instant you stepped into that door, and I've hated having you at my beck and call, so you are to consider yourself discharged from this instant." At the wedding when Brantwell stepped up to salute the bride, he could not resist a joke. "What do you think of women around an office now?" he demanded. "My dear boy," replied DeVinne, "they're dangerous, flightfully dangerous. Does not my own experience prove young, but beautiful." I thel felt her time as coming, and could afford to wait. Then came the musicale—and she in her blindness had cooled him to go. She saw him start when his eyes fell on the woman, singing low and sweet in a clear contralto; she knew he had seen the likeness to Ralda Anson. And he—he stood looking at the woman, like, yet so unlike, the woman he had loved. The clear-cut, almost perfect features, the ivory tinted complexion, were almost identical, but the worldly expression of this woman's face was different as day from night, to the pale purity of Ralda Anson's. He went over to the window that opened on the balcony. Surely it was of this woman the two men outside were talking: "Yes, a double romance. It seems she eloped with him while at school and her father procured a divorce, and after that, when Classon turned over a new leaf she married him again. Iler name was Anson. Kathleen or Kathleen Anson. A cousin, by the way, to the Miss Anson you so much admired—the one every one thought would marry Frank Gretan." A little later Frank stood before Ethel in the dimly lighted conservatory. "I tell me whom Ruida Anson, the woman I loved, meant when she said he was living!" Ethel laughed. She knew she might write failure now in place of success, but she bore her defeat bravely. "You had better ask herself," she said coolly, "most likely she will tell you," and then she turned away. Frank looked after her curiously, though he did not suspect the real truth. But then who would associate treachery with Ethel Sinclair's childlike loveliness? And two days later, standing before Ruida Anson, he asked her gravely and simply whom she had meant when she said he was living. "Who could I mean but my father—my father, who is cleared, at last, from the shadow of a forgery he never committed." How he told her the fatal mistake he had made he could never remember, but he saw the swift pallor of her face and the sudden shiver that swept over her. "You will forgive me, Raida. I—I must have been mad. How could Ethel Sinclair have made such a mistake. Raida had her own ideas about that, but she could afford to be merciful now. NEWTON, KAN.

Some comment is caused just at present by the fact that because a Negro student won in the debate at the University of Kansas the student body as a whole refused to back him as they usually do their debaters, when he engaged in the annual debate with Baker, as the representative of K. U. Some months ago the State Journal commented on the statement, emanating from Lawrence, that colored students were not tolerated on the athletic team at the university-a most startling statement when one remembers that the very soil in the shadow of Mount Oread was once consecrated to the freedom of the black man, that the city of Lawrence had its beginnings in a movement to free the slave. It can scarcely be believed that this apparent snobbishness is deep rooted at K. U. People who do not wish to receive the average colored person as a social equal have a right to do as they please, but jealousy of a Negro because he defeats his Anglo-Saxon competitors in debate denotes inferiority rather than superiority. A colored youth who is victor over his white associates in a contest of brains is certainly entitled to a great deal of credit. William Allen White, who is not only an alumnus but who also is a regent of the university, makes these sensible remarks about this matter: "A Negro won the right to represent the Kansas State university in the debate with Baker university, and it is said that some of the students refused to go to Baldwin and cheer for Kansas university because their debater was a colored man. It occurs to one who has been proud for seventeen long years out of school to cheer for the State University of Kansas, that the institute is worthy of the loyalty of the school, not rigorously, while the debater of the debate opens to a pink cyclist, a yellow haired cowboy, a straight red man, a squint cyclist, a man, or a soldier man. The skin of his brain is gray. If the colored man beats the white man fairly, the white men are mighty poor sports and exceedingly cheap pikers not to get behind, when he represented the university. It is that kind of miserable prejudice that makes the race problem. Here was a black man who by hard work and honest effort had risen above his fellows, who had risen further than the white boy he beat, because he started from the jungle only a few centuries, while the white boys have been thousands of years going his distance. Why then as gentlemen, should not then porting blood and blood at the pro slave's grander, be so well soot? The sort of Anglo Saxon superiority should not fail to make a white boy, gentleman when he is a lover to one he believes is his inferior. A few miserable flukes like that will make the Kansas people wonder whether they are educating thoroughbreds or scrubs at their big state school.

R., April 12 — (Spl) Robert S. Moore, 21, was captured in the home of Mrs. Wiley Lynn, of Mudhill, disguised as a Negro. He is held under $5,000 bond on charge of conspiracy. One审证 that he planned to kill the woman, capture her child and hold it for $10,000 ransom. I close you the above clipping from one of our leading papers, which will explain why there has been so much raping and other lawlessness heaped upon the Negro. Of course, he does his part, but when it happens that white men, blackened up so as to pass for a Negro, are found in white women's rooms, it is high time that all such facts should be magnified in very large head lines and sent out to all reading and thinking people. Yours Respectfully, S. H. A. MON. Oklahoma City, Okl. The works of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, and other Negro authors can be obtained through any book store or news agency. Whole Regiment Was Converted! to rise to the occasion. He gathered a crowd of Negroes around him and spoke thus. "Brethren, the Lord sent this storm on the heads of sinful crap shooters. If we want to be saved let's pray." Then he dropped down on his knees and his voice was heard praying above the noise of the The soldier joined with the terrorists his prayers. In the negotiations mean, and it was a revival of the war. No, the soldiers we were on. The which was converted." Put the rough set continued. The colored preacher felt that something further must be done. An inspiration came to him, there must be a sacrifice of some kind. "Our songs and prayers don't prevail" he shouted. "There's something wrong. Brethren, the one must go into the sea." The suggestion had only to be made. The dice were cast into the water, about 50 pints. Some of the Negroes also threw in the money which they had won with the dice. In half an hour after the dice were given to the first exhibited boy John I. Waller held Mrs.L.P.Allen HAIR-DRESSG MANICURING BEAUTY PARLOR 25 E. Sherman Ave., HUTCHINSON, KANSAS tervals during the rest of the voyage. They were always well attended. At each meeting he told his hearers that the prayers of the righteous had saved the wicked. Then he urged them all to remain steadfast. Nothing was said about crap shooting the rest of the voyage. Shortly after the soldiers landed in Cuba there was a pay day. Then it was that a back slider tried to borrow some dice, but not a single pair could be found in the regiment, they had all been consigned to the sea. This was a condition that could not last. An ingenious Negro soldier stole an ivory bullard ball from a Cuban pool hall and whittled out a pair of dice. He sold them for $12. Bishop Turner Challenges Tillman! A special to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat from Atlanta, Ga., under date of April 11 says. "At a mass, meeting held here this afternoon under the auspices of the vigilant return head Negro organization for the purpose of bringing better understanding between races Bishop Turner, of the African Methodist church created a rough house by declaring that enough innocent Negro blood had been shed to drown congress, the supreme court and President Roosevelt "He declared that the courts were keeping the Negroes in subjection. He bitterly assailed Senator Hillman, ending by challenging him to a test before a jury of his own picking as to the relative refinement and education of himself and the senator openly declaring that he was willing to be hanged if he failed to win the verdict. He declared all laws and legislation favored the white man. His utterances were wildly cheered by the large crowd of Negroes present at the meeting. During his discourse there was only one white man on the platform and his name was Rev. Coon, of Boston." WICHITA. KAN. Editor Plaindealer.—Please send this everywhere.
