The Last Day's Session. · "ON ENGLISH SOIL—A WORD ABOUT THE MOVIES." A BIG BABY. But as a matter of fact, this polite guide did not broach to me the subject of purchasing cars, but simply explained their convenience and advantages. I was deeply impressed, but invluntarily visions of that automobile garage and repair shop next to my office in Richmond would rise before me. I had seen the expensive cars and the cheap cars, all in solemn procession of disablement and waiting for the skilled touch of the mechanician. The inspection completed, I waited for another car to take me back to the heart of the city. Finally I walked out and found the white chauffeur cranking up on the other side of the street. Instead of coming to take me back to the city, he started off. The guide beckoned to him and demanded to know the cause. He told him of some trouble he was having, it may have been that he was out of gasoline. He was afraid that he would be unable to make the trip. Our guide listened to him and then told him that it: (Continued on Phrase 16) (Continued from last week) My time in Detroit, Michigan was drawing rapidly to a close and so I decided to visit the works of the Burroughs' Adding Machine Company. I boarded the street car and after riding beyond the city limits found out that the conductor had forgotten to "put me off" at the proper street to get to the mammoth establishment. He showed his regret and annoyance and said he would take me back there. We engaged in a pleasant conversation and he was dumbfounded to know that I was a member of the American Bankers' Association. We discussed the saving habit and when I left, he was exceedingly friendly, wished me good luck and waved me a last farewell. I soon reached the works of the company. Colored men were engaged in washing windows. THE BURROUGHS ADDING MACHINE PLANT. Some of them looked like Japanese When I reached the main entrance way, a polite colored attendant met me and showed me all the courtiers possible. The badge of the American Bankers' Association upon the langle of my coat immediately attracted his attention. I was soon engaged in conversation with him too and he examined the booklet of the Mechanics Savings Bank with increasing interest. After some delay, a white guide appeared to conduct me through the plant. It was a wonderful sight. I saw the machine made from plg iron up to the finished product. I saw the skilled department where the highest price worlmen are employed. The company has made every provision for its employees and there may be found lounging rooms during dinner hour. Swimming pools are also provided and everything indicated that a master mind guided the whole concern. MANY WHITE EMPLOYEES There were hundreds of white girls at work here, but I saw no colored ones. Colored men were there as mentals, but in proportion to the whole number, very few of them were laboring in this wonderful establishment. Many looked at me in wonderment. No one could have been accorded more consideration than was extended to the colored banker from Virginia. Our bank had recently purchased the new Burroughs' shuttle adding machine at a cost of five hundred dollars and I was shown where it was being built and assembled. Here, too may be found a record of each machine sold in the world and where it is located. As I passed but, my attention was called to the bronze figure of Mr. Burroughs, the inventor of the machine which has revolutionized book keeping in the business world. PLAYED FOR THE BANKERS I passed out, much gratified with the result of my visit. That night it was to attend the Detroit Opera House to see a play based upon the Madri Gras in New Orleans. Only bankers and their guests were admitted. I had previously secured a reserved seat ticket and I entered the palatial play-house with my usual celerity, only to be met inside of the door by polite white ushers, one of whom seized my silk tile, depositing in my hand a check for the same and I was shown to my seat where I awaited for the rise of the curtain, after which the evening's entertainment began. The play was superb. A Hebrew was the most laughable feature, but the character was played in a manner that brought down the house. A WHITE BOY AND HIS STOMACH. Wit, mirth and pathos were all centered in the star of the entertainment. The artists were encored again and again. There was a commotion two seats in the rear of me. There was a sound of splashing water. I looked back. It was a young white boy, suffering from sick stomach. He was hurriedly removed. The bankers in his vicinity vacated their seats and were given others in the neighborhood and the play went on. I looked right, left and front and no where in that aggregation of beauty, fashion and wealth could I see a colored man. Being the only colored man there, the assemblage was entirely white to me. I was not near a mirror, so I settled back in my seat, forgot my facial identity and enjoyed the play about as much as any other person in the house. THE END OF THE CHAPTER The curtain had rung down for the last time after the players had appeared to how their appreciation for the magnificent encors which were reperted greeting them. I turned to pass out and then remembered that I was hatlones. I had to wait until the crowd had passed out and then wended my way to the banement, where I found smiling attendants ready to render prompt service. I passed in my check, received my hat, extended the expected tip and a few moments later was on the street car enroute to 230 Bagg Street, where I found my host and hostess awaiting me. A few words, a good night and then, as usual, "foot-loose and fancy free." I was in the land of dreams. IN THE HANDS OF THE AUTOMOBILE PEOPLE. With the ushering in of Friday came the last day's session of the American Bankers' Association. I had received an invitation from the Hudson Motor Car Company to visit their plant. I presumed that "all delegates to the American Bankers' Association had received one of those handsomely engraved invitations. I had accepted it and shortly after 9 o'clock I was informed that a car was at the door awaiting my pleasure. It required but a moment for me to vaunt into the seat and to the query, if I had company, I repiled in the negative and so was on my way to the automobile plant. The brisk, fresh morning air braced me up and after a long journey, I reached the main office of this large plant where polite white guides were in attendance. "TUNING UP" A MOTOR Every courtesy was shown me and I saw the automobile in every stage of its assembling. Here too I became an object of curiosity. I saw only two colored meats in a mental capacity. It is quite an interesting sight to see the mechanics "tuning up" and testing the motors. They sit on the chassis or frame and run them at great speed. Detroit is the home of the automobile. I never had in all my life seen so many of those cars. They have trucks on which they carry automobile bodies and it is no strange sight to see a broken down automobile on top of a truck. I did not see one of those cars being hauled by rope as is a common sight in our Southern cities. Listening to the rhythmic explanations of my most entertaining guide I could not but feel that heavenly bliss came with the purchase of one of these cars, and wore I to purchase one at about nineteen hundred dollars it would be a case of "not a wave of trouble roll across my peaceful breast." A REFERENCE TO OTHER TROUBLES. A PUZZLED CHAUFFEUR In Memoriam. BOULDEN--In sad but loving remembrance of our dear sister, Carrie Estella Boulden, who departed this life two months ago, to-day, October 8, 1912 at Mulberry Hill, Randolph, Charlotte County, Va., age 14 years, 2 weeks and 2 days old: "Dearest Carrie, thou hast left us Thy voice we loved is stillled.

Armstrong High School Notes. We, the pupils of the Armstrong High School do heartily thank Mr. John Mcheil, Jr., the editor of The Richmond PLANET, for so kindly consenting to publish articles from time to time concerning our school. We feel as if this will be a great help to the school in many ways. Besides being a means of encouraging us to do good work so that nothing but the best may be said of us, it gives the pupils some information as to what is being on at our school. Thanking you for your care. PUBLI S OF A. H. S. The reorganization of the school is over and at last work has begun. Many charts are awarded those who entered this term. Besides the good lat Academy course, there is now a Comfort Course. A teacher Training Course also courses in Sewing, Military Cooking and Carpentry. Pupils of the school have been working for some time to have in the school a good library. They have now all of the best histories, a school might wish to have. They are now working to get a good selection of pictures for the school. Pictures of those who have left their 'foot prints on the sand of time' and some who are still treading in the sands and are leaving foot prints worthy of imitation. ( Cambridge, Mass. Advocate ) Why don't the Knights of Pythias of New Orleans patronize the Business Journal, when they have their printing done, instead of the Steege Printing Company? The Journal is a colored concern, does good work, rents from the Pythians and a member of the firm is a member of the Pythians. The Steege Printing Co. is a white firm and don't give a dog-like about you. SUSAN NOTE. Susan, Va. October 8, 1912. To Whom It May Concern: Every term since I have been teaching in this community some one starts a false rumor. The other day a rumor was started saying that I was responsible for the change of teachers in the lower room and interceded for the change. I wish for the person to know that I have heard the rumor and its author and that furthermore I have learned who is implicated in the matter and for my own protection, if it becomes necessary, I can give the names. I knew nothing of the change and had nothing whatever to do with it and will proceed to prosecute any one who accuses me of it. L. B. HUDGINS From Hewlett, Va.

CRPHAS, 538 N. 2nd St. 'Phone, Monroe 538' PRICE, FIVE CENTS NOT WANTED. Mr. Ball is Worried—Sounds Warming—He Leaves the Republican Party and Champions Roosevelt. Editor of The PLANET. Just now it is said that thousands of like colored men are wondering for whom they shall vote and some are frank in saying that they will vote a Democratic ticket. If this is true, does history tell us when the Democratic Party ever needed the colored men's votes? Can these colored men make friends where they are not wanted? Why is it that every four years some colored men, North, South, East and West come to the front on stormy seas to make four years more of trouble for the race? Why should these disafflicted colored men want the New Party to do more at the start than the Parties over a hundred years old have done? How can a colored man with common sense vote the ticket of a Party that does not need him or his vote? What is the result of these thousands of colored men voting the Democratic ticket every four years? Is this the aim of these voters to increase lynching of the helpless colored people and make the Jim Crow line grow stronger! THE ANSWER GIVEN The answer is. Yes, yes, this is their only aim because these colored men who vote a Democratic ticket know full well that they are not wanted. Now in the face of these true facts, what is it that causes a colored man to vote a Democratic ticket, Is it the almighty dollar? How much longer are we to suffer every wrong known to the human race because of these thousands of Democratic colored voters? Are we forever to be under block to bear the ill treatment which we receive on every hand, even from the very people of our own race? If so, it is time to call a halt. The dollars are one thing, but our rights are another. THE TROUBLE AT THE CONVENTION. Who made the trouble in the convention of August 5, 1912 at Chicago. The publications that Mr. Roosevelt caused these colored men to turn their backs upon the welfare of our race is untrue and every one is free to set the truth of they wish for it. Mr Roosevelt did every thing in his power to prevent the trouble, but others had charge of the matter and the press knew it, especially the colored people's press. Let the thousands of colored Democrats understand this truth that the evil is in eight, that they must stop pulling the wool over the eyes as a bluff for the time, as here when we will say that you shall not offer us up for sale and you are not our friend. The hope of the Progressive Party is the saving power of the Ethiopian Race. Four Colored Men Killed. Four colored men from Gobschland county, Va. were instantly killed at Eichlh and Grace Streets Monday, 20th alt. at about 5:15 o'clock when the earth on the street side caved in where they were excavating. The men are Humphrey Seay, 42 years of age; George Bowles, 25 years of age; Nip Cooper, 58 years of age and Wolker Langhorn, 55 years of age. Evidently the wall of earth was not sufficiently braced in order to prevent the happening and the lives of the men were snuffed out without warning. The bodies were turned over to Funeral Director William Isaac Johnson, who prepared them for burial and shipped them to their homes.

Having graduated from the University of Hawaii with a degree in history, he was a member of the forges of the late John A. Kauai and the late knowns of the late James A. Kauai. He was a member of the friends of the late James A. Kauai and the late friends of the late James A. Kauai. CHAPTER VIII H is visit to 90 of the Treble being paid. I gestured to his pawn but biggest way home wield. He was thinking of Mine. Bonariure. He already fancied himself, so third is the progress of our dreams upon the wings of imagination, accosted by mrs. messenger from the young woman who brought him some bullet appointing a meeting, a god chain or a diamond. Men then made their way in the world by the means of women without out blushing. Such a gorgeous beautiful gave their beauty. Such a gorgeous rich gave in addition a part of their money. D'Artagian possessed nothing. The metror had told him he was with the young man might easily guess that and with so weak a man as M. Beauclair he was most likely the young wife he told the purpose that his bad no infidelity in the feeding produced by the wife of Mine. He possessed no interest in receiving money for such commendable deeds. D'Artagian was poised to become the most tenacious lovers, was at the time a very devil friend. He did not forget his friends. The plattis Mine Bunadey was post the witch to walk with him in company with Alves, Pathetr and Aramis, to whom D'Artagian would be so poised to display such a conquest. Besides on pressing occasions, to extreme difficulties, D'Artagian would become the preserver of his friends. And M. Bancroft, whom Partington find put into the hands of the police, denying him about, although he had promised in a whisper to, save him. We are compelled to admit to our readers that Partington thought nothing about him in any way. D'Artagian, reflecting on his future loves, addressing himself to the beautiful night and smiling at the stars, reascended the Itue Cherche-Midi or Chasse-Midi, as it was then called. As he found himself in the quarter in which Aramis lived, he took it into his head to pay his friend a visit in order to explain to him why he had sent Planche to him with a request that he would come instantly to the mouse trap. Now, if Aramis was at home when Planche came to his abode he had doubtless hastened to the Rue des Fossoyeurn, and, finding nobody there but his two other companions, perhaps they would not be able to conceive what all this meant. This mystery required an explanation—at least so D'Artagian thought. Paris for two hours past had been dark and began to be deserted. Eleven o'clock struck by all the clocks of the Faubourg St. Germain; it was delightful weather. The house in which Aramis dwellt was situated between the Rue Cassette and the Rue Servandoni. D'Artagnan had just passed the Rue Cassette and already perceived the door of his friend's house, when he perceived something like a shadow issuing from the Rue Servandoni. something was enveloped in a cloak, and D'Artagnan at first believed it was a man, but by the smallness of the form, the hesitation of the progress and the indecision of the step he soon discovered that it was a woman. Further, this woman, as if not certain of the house she was seeking, lifted up her eyes to look around her, stopped, when a little back and then returned again. D'Artagnan was perplexed. "What!" said he to himself. "It would be cruel if this late dying dove should be in search of our theological friend's house." And D'Arraignan, making himself as small as he could, concealed himself in the darkest side of the street. The young woman continued to advenge, for, in addition to the lightness of her step, which had betrayed her, she had just emitted a little cough, which announced a clear sweet voice. D'Artagnan believed this cough to be a signal. She boldly drew near to Aramis' shutter and tapped at three equal intervals with her bent finger. The three blows were scarcely struck when the inward casement was opened and a light appeared through the apertures of the shutter. But the shutter remained closed. Still more, the light which had shone out for an instant disappeared. D'Artagnan thought this could not last long and continued to look with all his eyes and listen with all his ears. He was right. At the end of some seconds two sharp taps were heard in the interior, the young woman replied by a single tap and the shutter was opened a little way. It may be judged whether D'Artagnan looked or listened with avidity. Unfortunately the fight had been removed into another chamber, but the eyes of the young man were accustomed to the night. D'Artagnan then saw that the young woman took from her pocket a white object, which she unfolded quickly and which took the form of a hand ketchup. She made her interlocutor observe the corner of this unfolded object. "What could that handkerchief mean?" Placed where he was DARTAGNAN could not perceive the face of Aramis. We say Aramis because the young man entertained no doubt that it was his friend who held this dialogue from the interior with the body of the exterior. He placed himself close to the angle of the wall, from which he could plunge into the interior of the apartment. Upon gaining this advantage DARTAGNAN was near uttering a cry of surprise. It was not Aramis who was conversing with the notural visitor; it was a woman. DARTAGNAN, however, could only see enough to recognize the form of her visitors, not enough to distinguish her features. At the same instant, the woman of the apartment drew a second handkerchief from her pocket and exchanged it for that which had just been shown to her. Then some words were posed by the two women. At length the shatter was closed. The woman who was outside the window turned round and passed within four steps of D'Artagnan, pulling down the handle of her cloak, but the presentation was too late. D'Artagnan had already recognized Mine Bonacieux! Mine Bonacieux! The suspicion that it was she had crossed the mind of D'Artagnan when she drew the handkerchief from her pocket, but what probability was there that Mine Bonacieux' who had sent for M. Laporte in order to be reconstructed to the Louvre, should be running about the streets of Paris at half past 11 at night at the risk of being carried off a second time? It must be, then, for some affair of importance. And what is the affair of the greatest importance to a pretty woman of twenty two love? But was it on her own account or on account of another person that she exposed herself to such hazards? She was a question the young man asked himself, whom the demon of poles always graced to the heart; neither more nor less than a selfless cover. That was, besides, a very simple reason of capturing himself whether Mine Balar was going. That way to follow her. But at the sight of the young man and at the sight of the steps which she found to climb and for Mine Balar cloak under it, a mystery and did. D'Arraigny van after her. He came up to her before she had trapped a third of the street. She sank upon one knee, as in a chilling voice. "I'll take of your house, you shall know to me!" D'Artagnan raised her by passing the arm round a waist, and he felt by her weight she was on the point of falling he must have to treasure her by protest of devotionness. Mine Bonaventure recognized the voice. She opened her eyes and uttered a cry of joy. "Oh, it is you! It is you! Thank God! Thank God!" "Yes, it is I," said D'Artagnan; "it is I whom God has sent to watch over you." "Was it with that intention you followed me?" asked the young woman, with a copious smile. "No," said D'Artagnan; "no, I confess it. It was chinny that threw me in my way. I saw a female knocking at the window of one of my friends, Aramis." "Aramis! Who is he?" "Come, come!" "This is the first time I ever heard his name pronounced." "It is the first time, then, that you ever want to that house?" "Certainly it is." "It was not him, then, you came to seek?" "Not the least in the world. Besides, you must have seen that the person I spoke to was a woman." "Who is able?" "Oh, that is not my secret." "My dear Mime. Bonacieux, you are charming, but at the same time you are one of the most mysterious women." "Give me your arm." "Where are you going?" "You will see, because you will leave me at the door." "Perhaps I may, perhaps I may not." "But will the person who shall accompany you afterward be a man or a woman?" act as you please. I promise to do all you wish if you will allow me to accompany you where you are going." "And you will leave me afterward without waiting for my coming out again?" "Yes." "Take my arm, then, and let us go on." D'Artagnan offered his arm to Mme. Bonacoule, who willingly took it, half laughing, half trembling, and both gained the top of Rue la Harpe. When arrived there the young woman seemed to hesitate, as she had before done in the Rue Vaugiard. She, however, appeared by certain signs to recognize a door, and approaching that door: "And now, monstrous," said she, "it is here I have business. A thousand thanks for your honorable company." "And you will have nothing to fear on your return?" "I shall have nothing to fear but robbers. What could they take from me? I have not a denier about me." "You forget that beautiful handkerchief with the cont of arms which I found at your feet and replaced in your pocket." "Silence! Silence, imprudent man! Do you wish to destroy me?" "Come, come, madame!" cried D'Artagnan, selting her hands and surveying her with an ardent glance, "come, be more generous. Trust to me!" "Ask my own secrets, and I will tell them to you, but those of others—that is quite another thing." "It is all very well," said D'Artagnan. "I shall discover them. As these secrets may have an influence over your life these secrets must become mine." "Beware of what you do!" cried the young woman in a manner so serious as made D'Artagnan start in spite of himself. "With middle in nothing which concerns me. I exist no longer for you." "Must Adams do as much as I, madame?" said I Artagnan, deeply pledged. "This is the second or third time, monsieur, that you have repeated that name, and yet I have told you that I do not know him." "You do not know the man at whose shutter you went and knocked? Indeed, madame, you think me too credulous." "All this will be cleared up at a later period." murmured the young woman. "If you could see my heart," said I Artagnan, "you would there read so much curiosity that you would pity me and so much love that you would instantly satisfy my curiosity." "You speak very quickly of love, monsieur." "That is because love has come suddenly upon me and for the first time and because I am only twenty years old. Listen, I am already upon the accent. About three months ago I was near having a duel with Aramis concerning a handkerchief resembling that you showed to the woman in the house, for a handkerchief worn in the same manner. I am sure. If you were to be arrested with that handkerchief and that handkerchief were to be seized would you not be compromised?" "In what way? Are not the initials mine - C. B. - Constance Bonneclay?" "or Camille de Hols Tracy?" "Silence, monseau! Once again, silence. Ah, since the dangers I incur on my own account cannot stop you think of those you may yourself run Monseau, by the courtesy of a gentleman depart. There! there is midnight stricking. That is the hour at which I am expected." "Madame," said the young man, bowing, "I can refuse nothing asked of me thus. Be satisfied. I will depart and will return home instantly." D'Artagnan seized the band that was held out to him and kissed it ardently. "Ah, I wish I had never seen you!" cried D'Artagnan "Well, resumed Mine Bonacieux in a voice that was almost caressing and pressing the band of D'Artagnan, who had not left hold of horses—"well, I will not say as much as you do" By a violent effort D'Artagnan sprang away, running, while Mine Bonacieux knocked, as she had done at the shutter, three light and regular taps. Then when he had gained the angle of the street he turned. The door had been opened and shut again. The mercer's pretty wife had disappeared. D'Artagnan pursued this way. In five minutes he was in the Rue des Fossoyeurs. "Poor Athos!" said he. "He will never guess what all this means. He will have fallen asleep waiting for me or else he will have returned home, where he will have learned that a woman had been there. A woman at Athos' house! After "all," continued D'Aragian, "there was certainly one in Aramis' house. All this is very strange. I should like to know how it will all end." The last sentence was spoken aloud. "Hadly, monleur—badly!" replied a voice, which the young man recognized as that of Planchet. "M. Athos is arrested. He was found in your lodging. They took him for you." "And by whom was he arrested?" "By the guards whom the black men you put to flight fetched." "Why did he not tell them his name? Why did he not tell them he knew nothing about this affair?" "He took care not to do so, monster. On the contrary, he came up to me and said: It is your master that wants his liberty at this moment and not I, since he knows everything and I know nothing. They will believe he is arrested, and that will give him time. In three days I will tell them who I am, and they cannot fall to set me at liberty again." Four conveyed him away, I don't know where—to the Bastille or Fort Eveque. Two remained with the black men, who runnaged every place and took all the papers. The two not mounted good at the door during this examination. Then, when all was over, they went away, leaving the house empty and the doors open." "And Perthus and Aramis?" "I could not find them. They did not "I could not find them. They did not come." "Well, don't stir. If they come tell them what has happened. Let them wait for me at the Pomme de Pin. Here it would be dangerous. The house may be watched. I will run to M. de Treville to tell him all this and will join them there." "Very well, monsieur," said Planchet. "But you will remain, will you not? You are not afraid!" said D'Artagnan, coming back to recommend courage to his lackey. "Be satisfied, monsieur. There is nothing I would not do to prove to monsieur that I am attached to him." "Good!" said D'Artagnan, and with all the swiftness of his legs already a little fatigued, however, with the exercise of the day and night, he directed his course toward M. de Treville's. As for I repaired to de Pin, w Aramia, w But without nation of he had care he had turn which be he should distance. George Vil M M court, the kept along fire steps. M. de Treville was not at his hotel. His company was on guard at the Louvre. He was at the Louvre with his company. He must get at M. de Treville. It was of importance that he should be informed of what was going on. D'Artagnan resolved to endeavor to get into, the Louvre. He therefore went down the Rue des Petits Augustins and came up to the quay in order to take the Pont Neuf. As he gained the top of the Rue Guenneaud he saw two persons coming R. "In the name of heaven, milord!" cried Mme. Bonadeux, throwing herself between the combatants. whose appearance very much struck him. One was a man and the other a woman, the latter very much like Mme. Bonadeux in size and step, the former could be nobody but Aramila. Besides, the woman had on that black cloak whose outline D'Artaguan could still see reflected upon the shutter of the Rue de Vanglard and upon the door of the Rue de la Harpe. And, still further, the man wore the uniform of a monketeer. They took the bridge. That was D'Artaguan's road, as D'Artaguan was going to the Louvre. D'Artaguan followed them. He had not gone twenty steps before he became confused that the woman was really Mme. Bonadeux and the man Aramila. He felt himself deeply betrayed. Mine Homelove had declared to him by all they was hey that she did not know Aramis, and a quarter of an hour after having made this assertion he found her burning on the arm of Aramis. D'Artagian resolved to travel the mystery. The young man and woman perplexed they were watched and rebelled their speed. D'Artagian deterred upon his course. He passed them then returned, so as to meet them exactly before the Samaritaine, which was illuminated by a lamp which throws its light over all that part of the bridge. "What do you want, monsieur?" demanded the musketeer, drawing back a step. He had a foreign accent: "It is not Aramis!" cried D'Artagian. "No, monsieur, it is not Aramis," and by your exclamation I perceive you have mistaken me for another. Allow me, then, to pass on, since it is not with me you have anything to do." "You are right, monsteur, it is not with you I have anything to do. It is with madame here." "Ah," said Mime Bonacieux in a tone of reproach, "ah, monsteur. I had the promise of a soldier and the word of a gentleman. I thought I might have depended upon them." "Take my arm, madame," said the stranger, "and let us proceed on our way." The musceteer advanced two steps and pushed D'Artagnan aside with his hand. D'Artagnan made a spring backward and drew his sword. At the same time and with the rapidity of lightning the unknown drew his. "In the name of heaven, millord!" cried Mime Bonacieux, throwing herself between the combatants and seizing the awards with her hands. "Millord!" cried D'Artagnan, enlightened by a sudden idea, "millord! Pardon me, monsteur, but are you not—" "Milord, the Duke of Buckingham!" said Mme. Bonacieux in an undertone. "And now you may ruin us all." "Milord—madame, I ask a hundred pardonal. But I love her, milord, and was jealous. You know what it is to love, milord. Pardon me, and then tell me how I can risk my life to serve your grace." "You are a brave young man!" said Bepkingham, holding his hand to D'Artagnan, who pressed it respectfully. "You offer me your services. With the same frankness I accept them. Follow us at a distance of twenty paces to the Loaveau, and if any one watches us stay him." Fortunately D'Artagnan had no opportunity to give the date this proof of his devotion; and the young woman and the handsome munster entered the Loaveau by the wrist of the Michel without meeting with any interruption. As for D'Artagnan, he immediately repaired to the cabaret of the Pomme de Dia, where he found Porthos and Aramis, who were waiting for him. But without giving them any explanation of the alarm and inconvenience he had caused—them he told them that he had terminated the affair alone, in which he had for a moment thought he should stand in need of their assistance. CHAPTER IX. George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, ME. BQNACIEUX and the duke entered the Louvre without difficulty. Once entered into the interior of the court, the duke and the young woman kept along the wall for about twenty- ve steps. This space passed. Mme. Bonnieclux pushed a little side door, open by day, but generally closed at night. After traversing various passages she introduced a key into a lock, opened a door and pushed the duke into an apartment lighted only by a night lamp, saying: "Remain here, mili- lord duke. Some one will come." She then went out by the same door, which she locked, so that the duke found himself a prisoner. Nevertheless, isolated as he was, we must say that the Duke of Buckingham did not experience an instant of fear. Brave, even rash, and enterprising, he had learned that the pretended message from Anne of Austria, upon the faith of which he had come to Paris, was a snare, and instead of regaining England he had, abusing the position in which he had been placed, declared to the queen that he would not go back again without having seen her. The queen had at first positively refused, but at length became afraid that the duke, if exasperated, would commit some rashness. She had already decided upon seeing him and urging his immediate departure when on the very evening of coming to this decision Mine, Bonacieux, who was charged with going to fetch the duke and conducting him to the Louvre, was carried off. During two days it was not known what had become of her, and everything remained in suspense. But when once free and placed in communication with Laporte matters resumed their course, and she accomplished the perilous enterprise which but for her abduction would have been executed three days earlier. Buckingham on being left alone walked toward a mirror. His musketer's uniform became him wonderfully well. At thirty-five, which was then his age, he passed, with just title, for the handsomest gentleman and the most elegant cavalier of France or England. He had succeeded in gaining access several times to the beautiful and laughty Anne of Austria, consort of King Louis XIII, and making himself loved by her by astonishing her. A door concealed in the tinepsty opened, and a woman appeared. Buckingham saw this apparition in the glass. He uttered a cry. It was the queen. Anne of Austria was then from twenty-six to twenty-seventy years of age—that is to say, she was in the full splendor of her beauty. Her carriage was that of a queen or a goddess. She was dressed in a simple robe of white satin and accompanied by Donna Eustafina, the only one of her Spanish women that had not been driven from her by the jealousy of the king or by the persecutions of the cardinal. Anne of Austria made two steps forward. Buckingham threw himself at her foot and before the queen could prevent him kissed the hem of her robe. "Duke, you already know that it is not I who have caused you to be written to." "Yes, yes, madame; yes, your majesty!" eried the duke. "This voyage is not a loss since I see you." "Yes," replied Anne. "but you know why and how I see you, my lord. I see you out of pity for yourself. I see you because, insensible to all my utterances, you persist in remaining in a city where by remaining you run the risk of your own life and make me run the risk of my honor. I see you to tell you that we must never see each other again." "Speak on, madame; speak on, queen," said Buckingham. "The sweetness of your voice covers the hardiness of your words." "Every time that I see you is a fresh diamond which I inclose in the casket of my heart. This is the fourth which you have let fall and I have picked up, for in three years, madame. I have seen you only four times. The last was in the gardens of Amens." "Duke," said the queen, blushing, "never name that evening." "Ah, that time, madame, I was able for one instant to be alone with you; that time you were about to tell me all, the isolation of your life, the griefs of your heart. You leaed upon my arm, upon this, madame! I felt as, leaning my head toward you, your beautiful hair touching my cheek—and every time that it did touch me I trembled from head to foot—I would give all my wealth, all my fortunes, all my glory, all the days I have to live, for such an instant, for a night like that—for that night, madame, that night you loved me! I will sweat it!" "Milford, yes; it is possible. But at the first word you dared to utter, at the first freedom to which I had to reply, I summoned my attendants." "Yes, yes! That is true, and any other love but mine would have sunk beneath this ordeal, but my love came out from it more ardent and more eternal. What to me were all the treasures in the world or all the kings of the earth? Eight days after I was back again, madame. That time you had nothing to say to me. I had risked my life and my favor to see you but for a second. I did not even touch your hand, and you pardoned me on seeing me so submissive and so repentant." "Yes, but the king, excited by M. the Cardinal, made a terrible clamor. Mine, Verget, was driven from me, Portage was exiled, Mine, Chevrolet fell into disgrace, and when you wished to come back as ambassador to France the king himself remembered, mirred, the king himself—accepted it." "Yes, and France is about to pay for her king's refusal with a war. What object, think you, have this expedition to Be and this league with the proxectants of Bochelle which I am projecting? The pleasure of seeing you! "I have no hope of penetrating arms in hand to Paris. I know that what But this war may bring round a peace. This peace, will require a negotiator. That negotiator will be me. They will not dare to refuse me then, and I will see you and will be happy for an instant. Thousands of men, it is true, will have to pay for my happiness with their lives, but what will that signify to me provided I see you again? "Milord, millord, all these proofs of love that you bonat are little better than crimes." "Because you do not love me, madame. If you loved me that would be happiness too great, and I should run mad. Ah. Mme. de Chevreux, of whom you smoke but now-Mme, of Pierre "I dreamed that I saw you lying bleeding, wounded." Chevreuse was less cruel than you. Holland loved her, and she responded to his love. "Mine, de Chevreuse was not a queen," murmured Anne of Austria, overcome in spite of herself by the expression of so profound a passion. "You would love me, then. If you were not one? Thanks for those sweet words." "Oh, milord, you have ill understood, wrongly interpreted. I did not mean to say—" "Silence, silence," cried the duke. "If I am happy in an error do not have the cruelty to deprive me of it. You have told me yourself, madame, that I have been drawn into a snare, and I perhaps shall leave my life in it, for, although it be strange, I have for some time had a suppression that I shall shortly die." And the duke smiled, with a smile at once and charming. "Oh," cried Anne of Austria, with an accent of terror. "I have had presentations likewise! I have had dreams. I dreamed that I saw you lying bleeding, wounded." "In the left side, was it not, and with a knife?" interrupted Buckingham. "Yes; it was so milled." "Would God send the same dreams to you as to me if you did not love "Oh," cried Anno of Austria, "this is more than I can bear! In the name of heaven, duke, leave me. Go! I do not know whether I love you or do not love you, but what I know is that I will not be a perjured woman. Depart, go then, I implore you." "Oh, how beautiful you are thus! Oh, how I love you!" said Buckingham. "Oh, but go, go. I implore you, and come back hereafter; come back as ambassador, come back as minister, come back surrounded with guards who will defend you, with servants who will watch over you and then—then I shall be no longer in fear for your days and I shall be happy in seeing you." "Oh, then, some pledge of your indulgence! A ring, a necklace, a charm!" "You will leave France—you will return to England?" "I will: I swear to you I will." "Wait, then, wait." And Apne of Austria re-entered her apartment and came out again almost immediately, holding a casket in her hand made of rosewood, with her cipher upon it in gold ketters. "Here, miltor, here," said she. "Keep this in memory of me." Huckingham took the casket, and fell a second time on his knees. "You promised me you would go," said the queen. "And I keep my word. Your hand, madame, your hand, and I depart." Buckingham applied his lips passionately to that beautiful hand, and then rising said: "Within six months if I am not dead I shall have seen you again, madame; even if I have confounded the whole world for that object, I shall have seen you again." In the corridor he met Mme. Bonscleux, who waited for him and who conducted him out of the Louvre." The officers who had arrested M. Bonscleux conducted him to the Bastille, where he became the object of the grossest insults and the harshest treatment. He was taken before a commissary, a man of very repressive mien, with a pointed nose, yellow and salient cheek bones, small but keen penetrating eyes. He began by asking M. Bonscleux his name, pronames, age, condition and abode. The accused replied that his name was Jacques Michel Bonacieux, that he was fifty-one years old, was a retired marshal and lived in the Rue des Puyemonts, No. 14. The commendary then, instead of continuing to interrogate him, made him a long speech upon the danger there is for an obscure bourgeois to module with public matters, especially when they concerned M. Cardinal. The character of M. Bonacieux was one of profound selflessness, mixed with soddid avarice, the whole seasoned with extreme cowardice. The love with which his young wife had implied him was a secondary sentiment. "But, M. le Commissaire," said he timidly, "I beg you, to believe that I know and appreciate more than anybody the merit of the incomparable eminence by whom we have the honor to be governed." "You must nevertheless have committed a crime since you are here and are accused of high treason." "Of high treason!" cried the terrified Bonncleux. "Of high treason." How is it possible for a poor mercer, who detests all Hughuenots and who abhors all Spaniards, to be accused of high treason? "M. Bonncleux," said the commissary, looking at the accused as if his little eyes had the faculty of reading to the very depths of hearts; "M. Bonncleux, you have a wife?" "Yen, monstleur—that is to say, I had one. She has been carried off from me, monstleur." "She has been carried off?" said the commissary. "And do you know who the man is that has committed this outrage?" "I think I know him." "Who is he?" M. Bonncleux was in the greatest perplexity possible. Had he better deny everything or tell everything? He decided upon telling all. "I suspect," said he, "a tall, dark man of lofty carriage, who has the air of a great lord. He has followed us several times, as I think, when I have waited for my wife at the wicket of the Louvre to fetch her home." "The commissary appeared to experience a little uneasiness. "And his name?" said he. "Oh, as to his name, I know nothing about it, but if I were ever to meet him I should know him in an instant, I will answer for it, even if he were among a thousand persons." "You have answered that you should recognize him," said the commissary. "That is all very well and enough for today. Before we proceed further some one must be informed that you know the auditor of your wife. Take away the prisoner." "Where must we place him?" demanded a guard. "In a dungeon the first you come to, provided it be a safe one," said the commissary, with an indifference which penetrated poor Bonacieux with horror. "Alas, alas," said he to himself, "misfortune hange over me! My wife must have committed some frightful crime. They believe that I am her accomplice and will punish me with her! She must have spoken; she must have confessed everything. A woman is so weak." Bonacieux could not close his eyes, not because his dungeon was so very disagreeable, but because his unselfness was too great to allow him to sleep. At dawn he heard his bolts drawn and sprung up with a terrified bound, only to face the commissary. "Your affair has become more complicated since yesterday evening, my good man, and I advise you to tell the whole truth, for your reputation alone can remove the anger of the cardinal." "Why, I am ready to tell everything," erased Bonacieux, "at least all that I know. Interrogate me, I entreat you." "Where is your wife, in the first place?" "Why, did not I tell you she had been stolen away from me?" "Yes, but yesterday at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, thanks to you, she escaped." "My wife escaped!" erased Bonacieux. "It is no fault of mine, I will swear." "What business had you, then, to go into the chamber of M. d'Artagnan, your neighbor, with whom you had a long conference, in the course of the day? What was the object of that visit?" "To log him to assist me in finding my wife. I believed I had a right to endeavor to recover her. I was deceived, as it appears, and I ask your pardon for doing so." "And what did M. d'Artagnan reply? "M. d'Artagnan promised me his assistance. But I soon found out that he was betraying me." "You are imposing upon justice. M. d'Artagnan made an agreement with you and in virtue of that agreement put to flight the men of the police who had arrested your wife and has placed her out of reach of all inquiries. Fortunately, M. d'Artagnan is in our hands, and you shall be confronted with him." "Ah, ma foll! I ask no better!" cried Bonacieux. "Bring in M. d'Artagnan," said the commissary to the guards. The two guards led in Athos. "But!" cried Bonacleux, "this is not M. d'Artegan that you have brought before me?" "Your name?" asked the commissary of the musketeer. "Atthos," replied the musketeer. "But you said that your name was D'Artagnan." "My guards said to me, 'You are M. d'Artagnan?' I answered, 'You think so, do you?' My guards again exclaimed that they were sure I was." "But, I tell you, M. je, Commissaire," cried Bonacieux, "there is not the least doubt about the matter. M. d'Artagnan is my tenant, although he does not pay me my rent, and even better on that account ought I to know him. M. d'Artagnan is a young man, scarcely nineteen, and this gentleman must be thirty at least." At this moment the door was opened quickly and a messenger, introduced by one of the gatekeepers of the Bastille, gave a letter to the commissary. "Oh! unhappy woman!" cried the commissary. "How! what do you pay? of whom do SATURDAY...OCTOBER 12, 1912. you speak? It is not of my wife, I hope! "On the contrary, it is of her. Your affair is becoming a pretty one." "But," said the agitated mercer, "do me the pleasure, monsieur, to tell me how my own proper affair can become the worse by anything my wife does while I am in prison?" "Because that which she does is part of a plan concerted between you, of an informal plant?" "I swear to you, M. le Commissaire, "that you are in the profoundest error, and that if she committed any follicles I renounce her, I abjure her, I curse her." "Reconduct the prisoners to their dungeons," said the commissary, designating, by the same gesture, Athos and Bonchuck, "and let them be guarded more closely than ever." "And yet," said Athos, with his habitual calmness, "if it be M. d'Artagnan who is concerned in this matter I do not perceive too clearly how I can take his place." They led back the mercy to the same dungeon in which he had passed the night and left him to himself during the day. Bonnemex wept away the hours. In the evening at the moment he had made his mind up to the down upon the bed he heard steps in his corridor. These steps drew near to his dungeon, the door was thrown open, and the guards appeared. "Follow me," said an evampt, who came behind the guards. "Ah, my God, my God," murmured the poor mercer. "now indeed I am lost." And he followed the guards who came for him mechanically and without resistance. He was placed in a carriage, which was put in motion as slowly as a funeral car. They reached Cooley to Trahior, the place where obscure criminals were executed. Bonadeux could not yet see the dreadful cross, but he felt as if it were in some sort coming to meet him. When he was within twenty pages of it he heard a noise of people, and the carriage stopped. This was more than poor Bonadeux could endure, depressed as he was by the successive emotions which he had experienced. He uttered a double groan, which have been taken for the last sigh of a dying man. CHAPTER X. The Cardinal's Gold. THE crowd was not produced by the expectation of a man who was to be hanged, but by the contemplation of a man who was hanged. The carriage, which had been stopped for a minute, resumed its way, passed through the crowd, threaded the Rue Saint Honore, turned the Rue des Bons Enfans, and stopped before a low door. The door opened, two guards received Bonacieux in their arms; they carried him along an alley, up a flight of stairs and deposited him in an antechamber up on a bench. At this moment an officer opened a door and came up to the prisoner. "Is your name Bonacieux?" said he. "Yes, M. 'Officer'," stammered the mercer, more dead than alive, "at your service." "Come in," said the officer. And he moved out of the way to let the mercer pass. The latter obeyed without reply and entered the chamber, where he appeared to be expected. This man was Armand Jean Duplessis, Cardinal de Rihelleen, then an active and gallant cavalier, already weak of body, but sustained by that PANORAMA "You are accused of high treason," said he slowly. moral power, which made of him one of the most extraordinary men that ever existed, preparing to drive the English from the tale of Re and lay stage to La Rochelle. At first sight nothing denoted the cardinal, and it was impossible for those who did not know his face to guess in whose presence they were. The poor mercer remained standing at the door, while the eyes of the cardinal were fixed upon him. "Is this that Bonnecleux?" asked he after a moment of silence. "Yes, monselgneur," replied the officer. "That's well. Give me those papers and leave us." At the end of ten minutes' reading the cardinal was satisfied. "You are accused of high treason," said he slowly. "So I have been told already, monsigneur," cried Bonacieux, giving his interrogator the title he had heard the officer give him, "but I swear to you that I know nothing about it." The cardinal repressed a smile. "You have conspired with your wife, with Mme. de Chevreuse and with miltord Duke of Buckingham." "In fact, monsigneur, I have heard her pronounce all those names." "And on what occasion?" "She said that the Cardinal do Richelieu had drawn the Duke of Buckingham to Paris to ruin him and to ruin the queen." "She said that?" cried the cardinal with violence. "Yes, monsigneur. But I told her she was, wrong to talk about such things." "Your wife has escaped. Did you know that?" "No, monsigneur. I learned it since I have been in prison and that from the conversation of monsieur the commissary, a very good kind of man." "The cardinal repressed another smile. "Then you are ignorant of what is become of your wife since her flight?" "Absolutely, monsigneur. But she has most likely returned to the Louvre." "At I o'clock this morning she had not returned. You must, in the first place, reveal to the cardinal all you know of your wife's relations with Mme. de Chevreuse." "But, monsigneur, I know nothing about them; I have never seen her." "When you want to fetch your wife from the Louvre did you always return directly home?" "Scarcely ever; she had business to transact with linen draperies, to whose houses I conducted her." "And how many were there of these linen draperies?" "Two, monsigneur. One Rue da Vaunifard, the other Rue de la Harpe." "Did you go into these houses with beer?" "Never, monsigneur; I waited at the door, as she told me." "You are a very complacent husband, my dear M. Bouncleux," said the cardinal. "He calls me his dear monsieur," said the mercer to himself. "Pestel matters are going all right." "Do you know the numbers?" "No. 25 is the Rue Vauigtrard; 75 is the Rue de la Harpe." "That's well," said the cardinal. At these words he took up a silver bell and rang it. The officer entered. "Go," said he in a subdued voice, and find Rochefort. Tell him to come to me immediately if he returned." The count is here," said the officer, and requests to speak with your eminence instantly." "To your enclosure!" murmured Bonacieux, rolling his eyes round in astonishment. Five seconds had scarcely elapsed after the disappearance of the officer when the door opened and a new person entered. "It is he!" cried Bonacieux. "He! What he!" asked the cardinal. "The man that took away my wife!" The cardinal rang a second time. The officer reappeared. "Place this man in the care of his guards again and let him wait till I send for him." "No, monseigneur; no; it is not he!" cried Bonacieux. "No; I was deceived. This is quite a different man and does not resemble him at all. Monsieur is, I am sure, a very good sort of man." "Take away that fool," said the cardinal. The newly introduced personage followed Bonacieux impatiently with his eyes till he was gone out, and the moment the door closed he advanced eagerly toward the cardinal and said: "They have seen each other." "The queen and the duke?" cried Ritchelle. "At the Louvre." "Who told you of it?" "Mme. Lannoy, who is devoted to your eminence, as you know." "Why did she not let me know sooner?" "Whether by chance or from mistrust I don't know, but the queen made Mme. de Sturgis sleep in her chamber and detained her all day." "Well, we are beaten! Now let us try to take our revenge. How did it take place?" "At. half past 12 the queen was with her women in her bedchamber, when some man came and brought her a handkerchief from her dame de lingerie. "And then." "The queen immediately exhibited strong emotion; she rose, and with a trembling voice: 'Ladies,' said she, 'wait for me ten minutes—I shall soon return.' She then opened the door of her alcove and went out." "How long did the queen remain out of the chamber?" "Three quarters of an hour." "Did none of her women accompany her?" "Only Donna Estafania." "Did she afterward return?" "Yes; but to take a little rosewood casket, with her cipher upon it; in it the diamond studs which his majesty gave to the queen." "Mme. Lannoy, then, is of opinion that she gave them to Buckingham." "She is sure of it." "How can she be so?" "In the course of the day, Mme. de Lannoy, in her quality of trewoman of the queen, looked for this casket, appeared uneasy as not finding it, and at length asked the queen if she knew anything about it. The queen became increasingly red and replied that, THE ROBINSON PLANET, ROBINSON JD, VIRGINIA. Having on the preceding evening broken one of those studs; she had sent it to her goldsmith to be repaired." "He must be called upon and so ascertain if the thing be true or not." "The goldsmith has heard nothing of the kind." "Right, right! Rochefort, all is not lost, and perhaps—perhaps everything is for the best. Do you know where the Duchess de Cherecus and the Duke of Buckingham are now concealed?" "No, monseligneur; my people could tell me nothing on that head." "But I know, or at least I guess. They were, one in the Rue Vangirand. No. 25; the other in the Rue do in Harpe, No. 75." "Does your eninence command that they should be both instantly arrested?" "It will be too late. They will be gone. But take ten men of my guards and search the houses thoroughly." "Instantly, monseligneur." And Rochefort went hastily out of the apartment. The cardinal upon being left alone reflected for an instant and then rang the bell a third time. The same officer appeared. "Bring the prisoner in again," said the cardinal. Master Bonacieux was introduced afresh, and upon a sign from the cardinal the officer retired. "You have deceived me," said the cardinal sternly. "Your wife when going to Rue de Vauglard and Rue de la Harpe went to meet the Duchess de Chevreuse and the Duke of Buckingham." "Your eminence is right. I told my wife several times that it was surprising that linen draperies should live in such houses as those in houses that had no signs—but she only always laughed at me." "You are a worthy man, my friend," said the cardinal with that paternal tone which he sometimes knew how to assume, but which deceived none who knew him, "and as you have been unjustly suspected—well, you must be indemnified. Here, take this purse of ten pistoles and pardon me." "I pardon you, monsieurgeur!" said Bonacieux, hesitating to take the purse, fearing, doubtless, that this pretended gift was but a joke. Pardon you, monsieurgeur, you cannot mean that? "Ah, my dear M. Bonacieux, you are generous in this matter and I thank you for it. Thus, then, you will take this bag, and you will go away without being too much dissatisfied with your treatment." "I shall go away enchanted." "Farewell; then; that is to say, for the present, for I hope we shall meet again. Au revoir, M. Bonacleux, au revoir!" And the cardinal made him a sign with his hand, to which Bonacleux replied by bowing to the ground; he then went out backward, and when he was in the antechamber the cardinal heard him, in his enthusiasm, crying aloud: "Hurrah for the great monselgneur! Vive son ennion! Vive le grand cardinal!" "Good!" said he, "that man would, henceforward, lay down his life for me!" The door opened and Rochefort returned. "Well!" said the cardinal eagerly. "A young woman of about twenty-six or twenty-eight years of age and a man from thirty-five to forty have lodged at the two houses pointed out by your ennion, but the woman left last night and the man this morning." "They were the persons," cried the cardinal, looking at the clock, "and now it is too late to have them pursued the duchess is at Tours and the duke at Boulogne. It is at London they must be met with." "What are your eminence's orders?" "Not a word of what has passed; let the queen be ignorant that we know her secret. Tell Vitray to come to me, and tell him to get ready for a journey." The instant after the man he required was before him, booted and spurred. "Vitray," said he, "you will go with all speed to London. You will deliver this letter to mindy. Here is an order for 200 pistoles; call upon my treasurer and get the money. You shall have as much again if you are back within six days and have executed your commission well." These, were the contents of the letter: "Milady.—He at the first ball at which the Duke of Ruckingham shall be present. He will wear on his doublet twelve diamond studs; get as near to him as you can and cut off two of them. As soon as these studs shall be in your possession, inform me."

JIM CURBETT IS DYING Former Champion Pugilist a Victim of Appendicitis. James J. Corbett, the former champion pugilist of the world, is dying at the Jefferson hospital in Philadelphia, following an operation performed as a last resort to save him, from peritonitis. There is absolutely no hope, the surgeons say, and his death is only a question of hours. Corbett became ill Monday night and Tuesday morning was taken to the hospital. His condition grew worse, and when the famous actor pugilist finally consented to have an operation it was found that he had been suffering from acute appendicitis, and from his condition it was seen that his case was critical. Blood poisoning had set in, because the appendix had ruptured, and it was feared that he would die before he could be hurried in the operating table and placed under the anaesthetic.

With a corn crop that is far in excess of all previous records and a wheat yield that has never before been equaled in the United States, according to the government's statistics, the farmers of the United States are enriched by the tidy sum of nearly $7,000,000,000 with which to meet the high cost of living during the coming year. And one of the best things about agricultural prosperity in this country, financial writers say, is that it has a way of coming when other agrarian nations are in the grip of famine. The result is that the great crop in the United States helps to feed the other countries of the world whose fields have lain sodden at harvest or burned in the sunshine. This year's bumper crop measures up $710,000,000 bushels of wheat, valued at $603,500,000; $8,000,000,000 bushels of corn, valued at $1,350,000; 1,290,000,000 bushels of oats, valued at $387,000,000; barley, rye and other farm products valued at $2,260,600,000.

Hon H C Smith, editor of the Cleveland, O. Gateke announces that he has decided to support President Taft for renomination. We learn that ex-Senator J. B. Foraker is doing the same thing Thanks to Collector Charles W. Anderson, the platform of the Republican State Convention of New York contained a strong plank in favor of the colored people. If the Party will live up to it, the colored people of New York will have all that they want in this declaration. The Democrat of Virginia passed a primary law which gave Democrat is colored men the same rights in the primary as Democratic white men. The State Democratic bosses left by the Democratic Attorney General refused to permit the colored Democrat to vote in the primaries of the Party as had been decreed by the Democratic legislators and none of them had the foresight to test the matter in the courts of the commonwealth. --- We have received a copy of the annual address of Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D., President of the National Baptist Convention, delivered at the thirty-second annual session of that great body at Houston, Texas, September 11-17, 1912. The address is one of the ablest ever delivered to that body and stamps him as a choir, diplomat and churchman. It is gratifying to note that this organization has the wisdom and the foresight to continue such a great and good man in office. His parliamentary knowledge, executive ability and skill in understanding and dealing with men have enabled him to prevent the unseemly happenings which have so often, distracted other national organizations. A DENIAL OF FACTS. Our esteemed contemporary, the Alexandria, La. Advance-Messenger undertakes the task of disproving our statements relative to conditions in Louisiana without disproving them. It practically admits all that was charged in our columns and the> places a heading, "There is no Trouble in the Grand Jurisdiction of K. of P. of Louisiana." It is true is stated by Correspondent V. P. Thomas of New Orleans that the endowment treasury of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana is practically empty and the department is unable to promptly meet its obligations, we are of the opinion that the people will hardly be willing to accept our contemporary's statement of "no trouble" at its face value. It says: It is true that the death rate in the Order during the last Pythian Period was unusually large. This of course necessitated a special tax assessment, which is the first time since the administration of Grand Chancellor Green and the erection of the Temple building that the members have been required to pay a special tax on the large investment in the Pythian Temple. It should be acknowledged to by unprohibited minds that the domain of Louisiana has done exceedingly well in carrying out successfully its gigantic project. It may be true that the domain of Louisiana has done exceedingly well and it is equally true that the elimination of a trust fund or the investment of it is other than "liquid" must be such an event as to make it impossible to trace each of these assets in the worst kind of the manner Lord Browne has built them by every far-flung thought of person in this country. The reserve fund which is usually established for the development department is for the purpose of providing compensation when the death of the reserve fund holder occurs. It is therefore that the reserve fund fund is maintained and the reserve fund fund is maintained in the reserve fund fund. Our congratulations to all the states in the nation in behalf of you and we it was based on information published in the Business Journal of New Orleans. La. As the journal is published in the book *papers of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana* and the information given it news to the Alexander Messenger published at Alexandria, Louisiana which information has not been published or denied, it seems to so that it would be better for our contemporary to first inform it of relative conditions existing in New Orleans and deal with the reliable gentlemen giving forth the same before it attempts to impose the moves of The Planet, which has no reason to be jealous of the presiding officer in the State of Louisiana. We cannot understand what motive should impel this journal to do what it must admit is true. Our information came from New Orleans and we propose to "stand to our guns" until we get some information disproving the same. We have no objection to the grand domain of Louisiana having unshaken confidence in the ability and judgment and wisdom of its Grand Chancellor. It is none of "our funeral." As usual, in some sections there are people, "having eyes, see not and ears, hear not." In this instance, it is a question of facts and not of motive. Our only motive was to discuss conditions which tend to handle and embarrass our business colored men in their march upwards. The information was furnished us direct from New Orleans. La and we used it. FARMVILLE (VA.) NOTES Farmville, Va., October 7. The revival service at First Baptist Church is being successfully conducted with great result. Rev Dr N.

Price, Elberta Anderson, and Julia Womack left to take charge of their several schools. Miss Clora B. Mathews the daughter of Mrs. Bettle and the late Ed ward. Mathews, one of Farmville's accomplished young women was married to Dr. C. C. Barnett of Huntington, W. Va. Mrs. Pearl L. Madden, the sister of the bride represented the church of the marriage. The many friends of the young lady wish both much success. Rev. Adams though in the midst of his revival was absent from his pulpit on Sunday to answer an urgent request calling him to Danville. While there the Rev. preached for the congregation of the Shiloh Baptist Church at 11 A. M. at 3 P. M. he attended the communion services at high Street Baptist Church and at 7:00 P. M. attended the union revival meeting at Ridge St. Tabornacle. "Never in the history of Danville," said the Rev. "was so many of our people seen in one house as was on last Sunday night. There were between four and five thousand present; Danville has not been so religiously aroused as now, in many years." We were glad to see the Rev. in his pulpit Monday night. Rev. Dr. Jordan is indeed a gospel preacher. We truly hope that many will take heed to the gospel sound and that the tidal wave of revival may pass this way where it is badly needed and where the Christians are anxiously waiting its arrival. THE BOOMHOUND PLANET, MOONHOUND, VENUSIA. would be all right. He could get me in where I wanted to go and then make the repairs or changes afterwards. He explained to me on the quiet that this chauffeur was really one of the workmen in the shop who had been drafted into service and was not one of their regular employees for this kind of work. A few moments later I was being whisked towards the Detroit Opera House where the American Bankers' Association was in session. The automobiles were running, and the day the chauffeur was watching for others, I divulged that he was asexcelling the speed limit. He was determined to get me to my destination even though the breakdown would take place on his retract to the factory. THE LAST DAY'S SESSION I arrived at the meeting place, "Stripped" the white chauffeur and a few moments later was listening to the able discussions upon increasing the farm values by increasing the value of the crops produced per acre throughout this country. I was late to the morning session, but profited of some of the leading practical financiers in the world today. The lunch hour had come and I passed out and after a lunch with Attorney Warren, returned again at 2 o'clock to the Detroit Opera House. But I wanted to stroll around and so alpine. I went down Woodward Avenue and sat in the far corner of the house to meet the friends and sing the music to be told Save the King. A VISIT TO CANADA I walked the officers and across the main street and a few minutes after words found myself standing on Embankment. The English custom officers were there. They were in speaking everything carried by a pass holder and ladies with handbags were required to carry them in the handbags which required the payment of custom duty. I carried no bundle and passed into Windsor unmolested by the British custom officers. I walked up the street and then through the post office and along the principal street. I saw several moving picture places. One of them attracted my attention. It has printed on penel the words. We reserve the right to seal the picture. I had inscribed that the color like I had crossed the river and that this was a diplomatic way to notify the colored brother in advance that he could not select his own seat in this moving picture show house. PECTLIAR STREET CAR SERVICE I saw four street cars, all waltzing and thought I would go around the belt, so to speak. The conductor said that one would move in a short white and painted out the car. Bills and pleasen tooid of a local fair then in progress, but I saw no one going there. I waited about twenty minutes and no car had moved. I saw the Grand Trunk railway train in the station and strolled down there to see it pull out on its way to Montreal. I saw the wheels turn and bid adieu to a partner who said he ran to Montreal and then looked again at those motionless street cars, were always to but never moved. I saw him and I saw I saw a colored man and engaged him in conversation. He was a laborer at the post-office and had to hurry back. He gazed at the post-card of the Mechanics' Savings Bank with a amazement, looked at me as though doubting my story and then disappeared around a near-by corner after bidding me good-day. AGAIN ON AMERICAN SOIL I decided to return to the United States and proceeded to pay another five cents and soon was aboard of the ferry steamer waiting to again cross the river. When I arrived on the other bank, the United States customs officer was doing service. I was not disturbed and proceeded leisurely up the streets of Detroit. Reaching the Detroit Opera House I found that the American Bankers' Association had adjoined sine dine and the delegates were filing out. I returned to my residence thoroughly tired out and prepared for the banquet which' was scheduled to take place at Hotel St. Antone that night. Half past seven was the time set and Attorney Francis H. Warren was prompt to the minute. AT HOTEL ST. ANTOINE. Finally we were ushered into the dining room upstairs where privacy was accorded us and where the invited guests soon assembled. That was a peculiar feature in connection with the affair for speakers all had something to tell of particular interest. Toast-master Warren explained that this testimonial was in honor of the banker from Virginia, Mr. T. W. Taylor was a manufacturer of wax figures and some of the most artistic designs in many Northern cities are the result of his handwork. The banker, an electrical engineer told of how he had secured his information from a correspondence school. He had worked this out practically and held a responsible and paying position as a result of his perseverance. OTHER SPEAKERS. Mr. F. R. Green gave his experience as a caterer. Mr. Charles H. Mahoney, Mr. J. Charles Price and Mr. James A. Ross also spoke. Mr. W. T. Green told of his inventions. One of these is now being worked on at present. He told of how he had been bunched out of one of his most valuable adventions and for this reason, he is careful, of what he shows and says now. A company is exploiting an invention for heating houses by friction. The boards are placed in water and the friction of the board heats the water and the water heats the house. It has been estimated that forty dollars will defray the expense of this system of heating for a whole year. This of course applies to a dwelling. It is needless to comment upon the magnificence of the supper. It was after twelve o'clock when the last word was said. THE RAIN WAS FALLING. I went down to the street below and found it raining. I was attired in spotless white and my predicament can be understood and appreciated. There was nothing to do but to wait until the rain hold up and Mr. Green plotted me to a corner, where I waited inside of the vestibule of an apartment house until an "owl car" came. I retired at 2 A. M. and a awoke much, refreshed after my brief rest. I went down into the city arranged to leave at 12:01 for Cleveland. Ohio and returned in those to make the necessary preparations. It may be well to say that I had visited the many moving picture shows in Detroit. I found no race discrimination in any of them. In one of them, I saw the usual Negro "take off" while the colored players sang "Way down in ole Virginia." "THE MOVIES" IN A NORTHERN CITY. The few colored people who were present did not seem to enjoy this part of the programme. I saw a man there who was deformed in a frightful manner, but who seemed to be happy. I saw a man, said to be 75 years of age, who claimed to have crossed death Valley in the Far West narrowly escaping with his life. He performed many acrobatic feats. He advised all to let medicine alone and keep out of the hands of the doctors. He declared that medicine poisoned the system. People should live in one room. There were many snakes, birds, monkeys and animals of all kinds. A clampance was resting in his cage and would lie in his small bed and pull the cover up over himself. This is the branch of the monkey family with a nest like a human being. A BIG BABY. I skipped another moving picture show and they again were the colored performers with the clog-fance accompaniment. The play was she splitting. One of the features was that of a black girl, pulling behind her a baby carriage or box on wheels. It was not more than four inches. The baby was crying and finally it killed her. It was squashed and beallowed. Then came the mother, who uncovered the baby and disclosed the face to view. Would you believe it? She sat that "baby up" and then came a pair of arms, a body and she lifted out a "baby" attire. In short skirts up to her knees and that welked approximately 160 pounds. She was at 5 feet, 5 inches tall and she gave a baby cry while the mother carried with laughter. How did she carry her baby box, used as a baby carriage was puzzling even to the closest observer. Those artificial baby feet had disappeared and I knew at once that this was a tall grown woman. PARTING AT THE STATION But I was to leave Detroit and it was about 11:30 when I was informed that a carriage awaited me. I bid Mrs. Eleonora A. DeVore and Mrs. P. R. Green good-bye and hastened inside of the finely equipped carriage with its white Iveried driver woven into the station and there met orored porter, who had attended Hampont Institute thirty years before. He had a recollection of me and The PLANET and was glad to see one from Virginia. After I had waited a while, he helped me with my luggage to the Pullman Parlor car. I had not been seated there long before the porter, Mr. W. Hulley recognized me and people in Richmond He knew Mrs. Inman well of Richmond. Reaching Toledo, I changed cars and had some time to wait for the train to Cleveland. HAD ATTENDED HAMPTON SCHOOL. The red cap porter there, who waited at the station had heard of me and the American Bankers' Association and reminded me that he had seen me when I went up to Detroit. I endeavored to get my suit case checked, but the crowd at the baggage office and the knowledge train did not be placed on the train with the luggage to abandon the attempt. I asked the porter about the accommodations in the railway station. He shook his head significantly and told me that the arrangements for colored people were none of the best. I understood and made no effort to even inspect the dining department of this commonplace railway station. The presence was in evidence in Tolsted, probably so in Tolsted, quite a while on the platform, I finally boat-loaded the Pullman Parlor car for Cleveland, Ohio. ONCE MORE IN A DINING CAR. It was with relief that I sank into the cushioned seat which offered me a refuge. A short while afterwards, I made my way into the palatial dining car, where a polite colored water minister to my wants and where I willingly paid the price of such up-to-date service. Here too they knew at once my station. The button of the American Bankers' Association told that and I became the object of special consideration. The post cards of the Mechanics Savings Bank were given and the booklet of the financial institution which I represented became the centre of attraction by both the dining car waiters and the white steward. They seemed all the more surprised that such progress and recognition should come from a Southern State and the frequent remark heard was, "We are not doing anything like that up here." THE ARRIVAL AT CLEVELAND. I reached Cleveland after 4 P. M. and was busily engaged at the In formation Barring, having my stop over arranged, when Mr. A. F. Abott approached me. He had been sent to meet me by Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor of the Gazette, who had to leave the city on business. A large, fine automobile was secured and into this I vaulted with my companion and my luggage. A short time afterwards we stopped at a large white hotel, over the door of which in large letters were the words, "Forest City House." It was opposite the public square and the Soldiers and Sailors Monument and the terminus or transfer point 'all the street-car lines and in the heart of the business district. Mr. Abbott led the way up to the clerk's desk and the hotel register was before me. Mr. Abbott acquired if a reservation had been made for Mr. Mitchell by Mr. Harry C. Smith and the reply came in the negative. There I stood in a quandary. I had passed my card to the hotel clerk and he posed to me to elderly gentleman who inspected it carefully and then examined the reservations. "No. he said firmly but kindly, 'no arrangements have been made for you, but I can take care of you.' He handed a key to the colored porter and I proceeded to register. A moment later, I found myself on the second floor and I was ushered into a large front room overlooking the public square. A TEMPORARY RESTING PLACE. The room corticaled a wardrobe dresser, plush covered sofa and chairs. A table on which was a pitcher and glass completed the outfit. I failed to state that the Manager had asked me if I would take my meals in the hotel and I had replied a meal or a meal or dining room ticket which outtitled me to this service. A short while afterwards, I passed out with Mr. Abbott to see a few of the sights of the city. I felt a relief after my experiences and the cordial manner in which I had been received by this Northern gentleman, made me feel home and a feeling of appreciaion that was conceived passed as a forever John MITCHELL, JR.

Dear Mr. Editor: On Wednesday night last, 25th, there was one of the most beautiful wildfires of the season when Miles Fleetor Virginia Cleveland became the bride of Mr. William Lane of Knoxville, Tenn. She was married from the Methodist Episcopal Church where a tremendous crowd witnessed the ceremony. Mr. Charlie Taylor, one of our energetic mechanics, took upon himself a letter half a few days ago. Dr. O. W. H. H. was of the city and was married at Ruthville, Va. He returned last Saturday with his bride and went to his home on Waynesboro Avenue. The Ministers of the city give a concert at each church weekly. They have a meeting every Monday known as a Ministerial Meeting and they attend the evils of the day. On September 21th they preach on the evil of dancing on the 30th or drinking whiskey and other strong drinks and if these people who drink heard them they sure would drink so more a ministerly effort on the party of the evils as to unleashed their objects with cloves on Mr Zion Baptist Church has started out for a great rally. Their motto is the "Hate Cry." On the 20th last they raised over $50,000 and on the next Sunday they expect to reach a thousand mark. If not more it would have done you good to have seen those captains and members working together with their Pastor, battling at the front of Zion, as usual helps the body. It was they they hope lead and the courageous sons followed. But that old veteran, Mr. Fontain Howard told them this time. They had to take the third place. Roy, J. C.

AUTOMOBILE RIDERS DANGLE IN MIDAIR Party Near Death When Car Falls From Bridge. C II Townsend, a garage owner at Atkinson, Pa., and three friends were almost miraculously saved from death when the automobile in which they were riding plunged through the railing of the high bridge over the Pennsylvania railroad tracks at Coatesville, Pa. The heavy machine, with its human occupants, dropped fifteen feet and then its rear wheel caught on the heavy double twisted gwra used to support the structure. With a sudden jolt the automobile caught, and hung suspended ten feet above the earth. Its occupants, one of them a woman, although thrown forward, did not fall from the car. Brushed and half-stunned, they all clung to the automobile, swaying and fro on its comparatively tral support. Persons who had seen the accident rushed to the bridge expecting to see them crushed beyond recognition at the bottom of the ravine through which the railroad runs. When the car was been suspended on the wires, ropes were let down from the bridge and Townsend and his guests were dragged from their perilous position to safety. An automobile was hired at a local garage, and in this the party returned to Atglen. POWDER EXPLOSION KILLS 50 Three Hundred Others Injured at Tampico, Mexico. Fifty persons were killed as the result of the explosion of 500 kegs of powder at Tampico, Mex. A warehouse in which the powder was stored and several buildings adjacent were burned. The charred bodies of twenty-two of the victims already have been recovered from the ruins. Three hundred persons are suffering from injuries and twenty of these probably will die. Many of the killed and injured were spectators lured by the burning building. Suddenly as they pressed closely there was a terrible deformation, which sent flying embers for many yards through the air. The explosion occurred during a fire which had evidently been set by an incendiary. Persons of revolutionary sympathies are suspected. A FATAL RUNAWAY One Man Killed and One Hurt in Team's Mad Dash. One man was killed and another was seriously injured in a runaway of a team of horses in Scranton, Pa. The team, drawing a load of bricks, bolted, and two blocks away cragged into a telegraph pole. The driver, Joseph Bohan, was thrown headfirst from the wagon and was picked up unconscious. Jacob Stahlheber, who was passing the spot, was unable to get out of the way and was hurled against the pole. He died half an hour later in the state hospital. Bohan will recover.

MAKING THE LITTLE FARM PAY It ought to be the aim of every farmer to accomplish these definite results: Increase profits by enlarging production at a fixed expense. Diversify crops and all other products so as to distribute labor evenly throughout the year. Secure a regular income at all seasons by supplying customers with poultry and dairy products, vegetables, beef, pork, etc. Shorten the workday to ten hours, provide a comfortable, home, improve the appearance of the premises and try to make life enjoyable. Let the young people have a little money from the production of fruit, flowers, vegetables and experimental crops. Teach them to plan work for themselves and to love the country. There are farmers who have delightful homes and who give the young people all reasonable advantages, but they are an exception to the rule. Country life is made dull and distasteful as a general proposition by long hours, drudgery and a lack of social interests. This explains the large exodus of young people to town when they could be happier and more prosperous in the country. The difference in yield between the land properly farmed and the land poorly farmed is so great that scientific farming experts are now calling the attention of farmers by communities to the urgency of taking up the study of certain crops and demon- Recent Inventions. A machine has been invented which will take your picture when you drop a coin in a slot. A single wheeled road cart that can be taken anywhere that a horse can go maintains its balance by the use of special harness. A Texas man has invented a very simple but useful tool that will twist tightly together two or more wires when the tool is drawn over them. For the use of persons who have to move about floors on their knees there has been invented a low stool mounted on casters and with depressions for the knees and receptacles for tools. Higher allowances to deserted wives from deserving husbands? Thus is the ```markdown ``` By C. C. BOWSFIELD strating the great loss that is being sustained throughout the country in not making closer study in requirements of cultivation for large grain yields. It is rotation and diversity that are lacking—the former to keep up the farm, the latter the profits. Every practical rotation must contain crops that use nitrogen and crops that gather it. For example, in the common rotation of corn, wheat and clover the first two use nitrogen, and the third gathers it. In fact, clover is a user and a gatherer of nitrogen. Do not think because it legume adds nitrogen to the soil that it does not use up plant food. All the leguminous crops use more potash and phosphorus than almost any of the grin crops. A large amount of nitrogen is also used, but it is taken from the air. Now let the farmer push this diversification far beyond the corn, wheat and clover crops. Cowpeas and oats sown together make aplendid fodder and benefit the soil. They can be harvested by midsummer and a crop of millet grown on the same land by fall. Rye and clover sown together in the fall can be cut for fodder by June 1 and potatoes, corn, rutabagas, millet or cowpeas grown the same season. While farmers are making $20 to $30 an acre on heavy grain crops they should not overlook such products as onions, beans, potatoes, sugar beets and fruit, which return a profit of $100 to $200 an acre and place agriculture on a business basis. cost of living increased to the poor man!-New York Tribune.

Witnesses: September 16, 1912 To Whom It May Concern: The Rev. W. H. Dobbins is no more Pastor of the Fifth Baptist Church. Custodians paid all that was due him. He left. So he leaves the Fifth Baptist Church with out a Pastor. The custodians are working hard to straighten the said Fifth Baptist affairs. We bid him good-bye. Let this be known. He said he would stay at the said church 'till all the water was out of the James Riber, but it was not out today. 2t In answer to the article on the Rev. W. H. Dobbins, allow me to say that even though he left before all the water of James River was exhausted, it was a voluntary leave and why not mention that he was the first of all pastors of said Fifth Baptist Church it has, ever bad who had the strength and was fearless enough to cope with said congregation and preach a farewell sermon. And even while he was saying good bye, the officials were wondering was he really going. The PLANET circulates all prey this country and in foreign lands. Read it and keep up with the times. --- From South Carolina. Florence, S.C. October 7. Neither the resourceful teacher for the progressive math-mathemian whose ideal is to excel is ever satisfied with the kind of methods nor the presentation of ideas relative to teaching Arithmetic to the child but use their best endeavors to so picture the thought in the child's mind that the beginner will readily grasp it. @ examination Arithmetic and Algebra are given high rating. Some students are less than great have to master this branch while there are others who do not give it their best "regards." History tells us of men whose actions and lives influence public affairs geography tells us about things relative to the earth. Mathhegues deals with quantity. Quite early the child is taught how to measure distance, space, paper and the like. Later he is told that there is a table to measure milk, grape, medicine, land, money, time and some more. The idea of measure once into numberless calculation and is used in more ways than one. In reference to a statement we say in a measure it is true. David said, "lord, make me to know where end and the measure of my days; that I may know how trail I am." To be able to measure we need a standard or a unit of measure. We measure cloth with the yard stick. A measure of capacity for liquid or dry goods generally the former, the United States standard gallon controls 231 cubic inches; the same as the old English wine galler. Some times a person is sent to do one thing, but they either enlarge upon it or "swap" their commission. A large number of people have never studied how to measure anything, but their next door neighbor The quanter, the politician and the mediator reminds us of the groups of hands at a saw mill. One set feeds the saw another "takes" away the lumber and the last one "stores it up." Some times every member of an organization is measured and set at by an outsider. The pastor measures his members and groups them. The teacher measures his pupils and tasks them. The politician measures his subjects and grasses them. I know of a certain "mess back" politician who spends most of his time measuring those who are suspected as leaders. In order he might be in position to head them off. After the measurement comes the heading off anyway. We are inspired by the words we speak the company we keep and the way we spend our time and money. I love a friend a few days ago. He said that he was building a very fine church and spired the tiny of his success as a pastor. But I couldn't measure him by this because the church could build a fine house of worship. What kind of character is he building in the minds of his convention, since there is nothing in this world to be compared to a Christian character? There are lots of builders. In this world, some build cities, some build bridges, some build railroads, some build churches and some build characters. Some teachers build school houses and purchase equipment to others build character in the minds of the young. The Apocrite Peter, the Apocrite Paul and Jesus Christ were character builders. On one occasion the disciples beaten to measure each other They asked Christ who were the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven. Christ said unless they became as a little child they could not enter the kingdom of Heaven. It matters not what we are going to be measured, but let us watch we be measured and then be made a tool for wicked politicians. The Court of General Session for Florence County meets to day. The more business we do with each other the better prepared we will be to help each other. Quick frequently one is heard to say, "My race will not help me when I am in trouble." That which it takes to help one out of trouble is given to the other fellow. Often when John gets in trouble his dimes have been sent across the waters to Europe, Asia or somewhere to drive the nail there. E. B. WEBSTER. Colored Man Injured. Williamsburg, Ya., Sept. 30. George Graves, colored, probably was fatally injured by being struck over the head with a heavy piece of iron pipe in the hands of Lewis Moore, at Tono on Saturday night. Moore and Graves had been scuffling and Graves got 'the better of Moore. While Graves was in a store, Moore secured the piece of metal and way laid his victim as he came out of the door. The blow crushed Graves' forehead, causing a bad fracture. Dr. H. U. Stephenson treated the injured man, who is in a serious condition. Kills Man Instead of Sora in Virginia March. Williamsburg, Va., Sept. -27. While out in the marsh shooting sora yesterday. Anderson Richardson, of Newport News, accidentally abut Zebedee Saunders, colored, killing him instantly. Saunders was shoving the boat, and when he saw a bird, called to Mr. Richardson to shoot, lowering his head for him to shoot. Mr. Richardson shot, but missed. Saunders thought he had killed the bird and raised his head just as Richardson fired the second time, the load of shot entering Saunders' head. K. OF P. BAND WINS MEDAL. Municipal Karl, K. of P. Now Holds Undisputed Title as the Peer of the Bands in Richmond. The City Auditorium was crowded Monday night, October 17 to witness the Band Contact between the Rose of Sharon Band and the Municipal Band for the championship of this city. Never before has such an aggregation of musicians been seen before that which was presented on the stage of the Auditorium that night. On the right was the Sharon Band, under the leadership of Leader Stephens. They were attired in spotless white. On the left, was the Municipal Band, under the leadership of Captain Moses Johnson. They ```markdown ``` CAPTAIN MOSES A. JOHNSON leader of Municipal Band K of F. Champions of Richmond! were attired in the regalia the fatigue uniforms. Sharon band played well but the music rendered by the Municipal Band was marvellous. such harmony had never before been heard around these parts, and it was apparent long before the last number had been rendered that the Sharon Band had been left in the arch. The Municipal Band has a wonderful ful reed staff and when it is working right it can't be beat. It was in and working order last Monday night and did much to wear down the opponents. The brass instrument and the traps were it capable hands and the difficult selections were handled with ease as these trained musicians. The decision of the judges was unanimous and Capt. Moses Johnson was decorated with a fine medal as token of his ability as a leader. $100.00 Endowment Paid.
