Rankin was a lawyer and he tusted tothe law He was unarmed, for he believed that law and justice were ashiving things and would protect him in all of his rights and all of bis liberties.

The "H H" club declared a dividend on April 10th. One boy who was bright enough to look after the matter, cashed in his cards at $2 73 each. Through the negligence or oversight of some people who might have taken his place in the dividends they neglected and lost that excellent op portunity. Every 48-lb sack of flour contains a card. Each of these cards is worth five cents in the purchase from the Topeka Milling Co. of one Universal Bread Kneader.

A contest is now on which expires November 10th. A similar contest expired April 2nd, 1908, and some some of the cards in that contest were actually worth $2.72 each.

Lytle and James Mothel went to Frankfort, Marshall county for a weeks' hunt. They were met at the station by Mr. James Cloud, and conveyed to his beautiful farm home which consists of 160 acres of the best land in Kansas. It is well stocked with everything and Mr. Lytle says the large barns, cribs and other out buildings reminds one of a city "Gazing over these broad acres," said Mr. Lytle, "the cattle browsing on a thousand hills was a reality—the saying too true, I could see 'em with my own eyes!" Here the boys enjoyed life for a whole week with Mr. and Mrs. Cloud and their little daughter. The hunting was fine and the boys bagged lots of game which was shipped back to Topeka. The whole community seemed bent on making it pleasant for the visitors. On the eve of their departure about 9:30 the hunters were aroused from their slumbers by shouts and loud raps on the doors. They were frightened at first, but it soon come to them that an old fashioned surprise party was on tap. The people had drove out from the city, and made their last evening the most pleasant of their entire stay. It was indeed a delightful evening full of fun, frolic and good fellowship. The following persons were present: Louis Coffey, Mrs. Louis Coffey, Miss Zephyr A Coffey, Miss Rebecca Coffey, Geo. Coffey, Mrs Maggie Potter, Mrs Maggie Potter, Mrs Sarah Skinner of Kansas City, Robert Potter, Lulu Potter, Minnie Potter, Lewis Parks, William Parks, Millie Parks, Robt., Howard and White Coffey, Mabel Coffey, Mrs Geo, Taylor, Walter Smith, Walter Taylor Maude Rice, Lewis Cloud and wife and George and Barnay Cloud. The party Thanksgiving night by Wilson's orchestra clearly proved that it takes this popular musical organ ation to entertain Topeka's upper crust. Metropolitan hall was gorgeously decked in the season's gayest colors, and the many colored lights added to the beauty of the artistically arranged decorations. About 8:30, the grand march started, and from then till wee hours of the morn, the spacious floor was filled with merry dancers. We are always glad of an opportunity to speak of Wilson's orchestra, it is deserving in every respect, and Miss Ogeal Wilson, the director is to be commended for keeping such a splendid organization together. The people were delightfully entertained Thanksgiving night, and all are looking forward to time when Miss Wilson will announce another.

THE DEMAND FOR AN EDUCATED Realizing the demand among the Negro people for an educated ministry, the Inklegge Normal and Industrial Institute conducts in connection with other departments a Bible Training School. The courses of study are so arranged that not only ministers and licentiates may be benefited, but those also who desire to do better missionary work or become intelligent Sunday school teachers. The chief aim of the Bible Training School is to afford a comprehensive knowledge of the English Bible and to brevity, chaniness, regularity and accuracy are provided. The teaching is to the elevation and Christianization of their people. Daily supplementary exercises designed to instill habits of mind and an ambition to dedicate their lives wholly undenominational, the intention being not to oppose or antagonize any theological work being done elsewhere, but instead, to assist all denominations. During the past year the enrollment in the Bible Training school has been satisfactory, but the opportunity is now provided for a considerably larger number.
