PLANET LITTLE BLACK BOY. Little black boy with your little black feet Fanned and tanned by the wildwind's fleet. Little black boy with your little black hands Seared by desert suns and gands In the crucible of time, Seasoned for your task sublime. From the depth unto the height These shall bear your lamp of light; These shall build your Rome and Troy Beyond life's mountains, little black boy. Little black boy with your little black head. Close-curled hair of midnight shred, Mystic moons have wrought a grace. In the moulding of your face: Loo! the splendor in your eyes, Like a wonder in dark skies, Seems a sign from a world unknown, Glory-gleam from a distant throne:-- Ah! 'tis but your soul, (O joy!) God's Love-white gift to the little black boy! THE LAST CALL OF PRESIDENT OF VIRGINIA BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION. Dear Members and Friends of the Above Named Convention: Just fifteen days will bring to us May 13th, the day on which, what we are aiming to make, the banner meeting of this able, august body, will be called to order in the First Baptist Church, Dr. W. R. Brown, pastor, Roanoke, Va. As your servant, this year we have worked and prayed and worked for success in this just and laudable cause, and we are greatly encouraged at the present outlook for a great meeting in the "Magic City." Last week we were guest of Rye. R. J. Terrell and D. M. Lockett, the very worthy pastors of Ebenezer and Zion Union Baptist Churches respectively, in Charlottenville. Tuesday night, 21st inst., these brethren with their congregations and friends met in mass in the first named church and we had a very enthusiastic educational meeting. At this meeting, we were assured that these pastors and churches will be in Roanoke-at their beat. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights we were with Drs. Austin, Drake and Pannell respectively and their good people and each meeting was afame with interest for our work. These brethren know how to do great things for God and humanity and thus they stirred their people to a high sense of duty to the Virginia Baptist State Convention. Dr. Pannell, though much burdened by reason of having just completed one of the best church houses in Virginia, pledged to us his presence and part as representative of his church. And Drs. Austin and Drake are planning to answer the call with a hundred dollars each for their churches. The whole Valley of Virginia will more than "make good" in Roanoke. Dr. W. R. Ashburn will also report with not less than a hundred dollars from his church. And my own city, dear old Danville, is coming up to the help of the Lord against the mighty with a few hundred dollars. You may look for not less than a hundred and fifty dollars from the Loyal Street Church and about fifty dollars each from Beulah and Salish and hardly less than a hundred and fifty dollars from High Street and pastor. Dr. L. W. Wales, chairman of our State Board will report not less than thirty-five or forty dollars. In fact, reports from all parts of the field are coming in like shots from rapid firing guns, reminding us that Virginia and her friendly sister States are "on the firing line." Now we should do our best in flanokoke for the following reasons: First, we claim for ourselves manhood and stear, starting manhood always proves that in matters that demand the best that is in men. And certainly manhood will be on test in Roanoke. Whenever we is great among you will serve." Our work of education and mission in that of men, even with all the help of worthy women. And our duty are already living up for the present meeting in the proud history of their Convention when placed at the summary in June. "And we must greatly better ourselves, but these good, good women will shift up on to the shadows of shame." Secondly, right here in the gateway of the group of administration men in Roanoke, due to the work of President Browning, was of the greatest men of his day and generation. Hero we need to set a respectable pace to accord with our dignity and ability to do. The great A. M. E. Annual Conference of Virginia with a constituentity of about ten thousand members usually raises in her work and for its sake ten thousand dollars. If ten thousand Methodists can raise ten thousand dollars, a hundred and fifty thousand Baptists with all things equal should raise one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and yet we ask only $10,300.00. According to letters received, we expect brethren from North Carolina Tennessee, Pennsylvania, New Jersey New York and the New England States. Drs. W. H. Boyd, E. C. Morris, J. H. Frank and other great men will be with us in Roanoke and Virginia will be represented from the mountain to the sea. Now I close my last letter for this fiscal year with this threefold request: Please bring as much money as you can and in as large denominations as you can, and stay over Sunday in Roanoke to fill the pulpits of the city and to do honor to the memorial services of our fallen heroes in the afternoon. Your humble servant for $10,300 a CALGARY Board Grand Rally in Charlotteville. Charlottesville, Va., April 25—Virginia Company, No. 34, Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias had a grand-rally here last night at the Odd Follows' Hall. The entire building was utilized to accommodate the crowd. The occasion was the anniversary of the company, Capt. O. G. Conn, commanding. Brigadier General John Mitchell, Jr. and Assistant Adjutant General R. C. Mitchell were the guests of the company. BRIGADIER GENERAL: SPEAKS. Capt. Conn was master of ceremonies. Gen. Mitchell was introduced by Capt. W. A. Miller. He spoke with eloquence upon the history of Pythianism in this country, told of the benefits of the Order, the advantages of the War, and discussed the Mexican War. He was enthusiastically applauded and his address made a profound impression. OTHER ADDRESSES. Short addresses were delivered by Col. R. C. Mitchell, Rev. Grant, Rev. Perkins, Rev. R. B. Hardy and Mr. J. G. Shelton, Manager of the Charlotteville Messenger. The visitors were quartered at the residence of Capt. O. G. Conn on Dice Street. They were delighted with the courtesies accorded them and left at 4 o'clock this morning for Rifchmond. Happy Times On the Hill. Lynchburg. Va. Diamond Hill Baptist Church— Rev. B. Tyrrell, A. M. D. Do. Pastor. Rev. B. Tyrrell. A. M. D. D., Pastor. We are still in the midst of a great and glorious meeting with Rev. W. H. Skipwith as the instrument, through whom God is working most wonderfully. Instead of the meeting dying out as some had thought it would for this time of the year, why its getting better. The people seem to be more determined this week than last, the crowd still follows and the best of all souls are being born into the kingdom of God and the careless and unconcerned ones are being restored into the fellowship of the church. Before this we had looked upon our Brother Skipwith as a singer, from hearing him several times at our National Baptist Convention, etc. but now we recognize him as a preacher, prayer and singer of the first magnitude, no one can truthfully deny this, if you have heard him. We feel very grateful to our associated pastors and their members for the interest they have taken in these meetings. I think our whole ministerial conference has been represented every night, especially the pastors of the city, as we have noticed with a great deal of interest. Dr. P. F. Morris, Garland, Lewis, Bell, Wynn, also the Revs: Scott, Cabell, Profa. Woods, Clark and a number of students from the Seminary. We rejoice and thank God for this unity "for in it is strength." On Sunday next, May 3rd at three P. M. there will be a Mass Meeting for men, women and children, to which all are coordially invited. Rev. Skipwith will be the speaker of the hour. Come and enjoy a gospel feast. Collidev WITH A Street-Car. The automobile driven by Mr. B. P. Turner, Jr. was slightly, damaged by colliding with a Richmond and Huntington street car, hurt Blindey on Fifth Street, between Jadgum and Daval Streets. FRANCISCO VILLA IS A NEGRO. Mayeville, Tenn., April 24, 1914. Editor Mitchell: "Since there is so much ado, affirmations and denials, as to whether the now famous General Francisco Villa is a Negro or not, I thought it not out of place to give my version. When I enlisted in the Tenth United States Cavalry in 1873, I was then a mere boy. I claimed to be eighteen years of age when I was not quite sixteen. I found George W. Goldsby—Pancho, or Francis Villa—first sergeant of Troop H. I was at that time assigned to this troop, which then was stationed at Fort Sill, Indian Territory. Sergeant Goldsby was the first non-comissioned officer to drill me in the military "setting up" as a recruit. "H" troop, then commanded by Capt. L. H. Carpenter, with Col. B. H. Grierson, regimental commander moved from Fort Sill, I. T. to Fort Davis, Texas. Sergeant Goldaby received his second discharge, upon expiration of his term of service and enlisted in "D" troop, 10th Cavalry. I left the service in 1878, upon the expiration of my five years term of enlistment. DESERTED FROM THE ARMY. S rgeant Goldsby had meantime deserted and after taking out naturalization papers, had become a citizen of Mexico. After he had enlisted in the Mexican regular army he rose rapidly until he reached the rank of a field officer—Major. We can remember distinctly that he was a splendid military tactician, a disciplinarian, a splendid soldier. His only fault was that he would occasionally drank a little too much, for which he often received mild punishment, but because of his splenid did soldierly training he always got off light. WELL EDUCATED. The press reports that he is illiterate and very ignorant, are very erroneous. Goldsby, at the time I enlisted, was the best scholar in the 18th Cavalry among the enlisted men. I distinctly remember that he wrote a beautiful hand and that he spoke Spanish very fluently. He was a great Shakespearean and often quoted standard authors. I met him in Juarez, Mexico, in 1884, after he had risen to the rank of Captain in the Mexican regular army and at that time I remarked to him of his splendid appearance, and his seemingly masterly influence over the men in his command and ten influence with his superior officers. To which remark he said, "Argyle, you know I am a born soldier, and my whole life is devoted to military prowess, etc." THE SPANISH PRONUNCIATION. The name Villa is pronounced in Spanish, Ve-ya, hence the name Francis Villa means Francis Veya. Villa is very tall about six feet, two inches, being very bright. In fact, would be taken for a white man in this country. He has straight black hair, which is now very grey. He has light blue eyes and has all the appearance of a well-drilled soldier. Though he was so bright and so intelligent and had the appearance of a white man, I distinctly remember that he strenuously avoided any associations with the whites and seemed to have but little hankering after white people. HIS SON EXECUTED It is a fact also that he was the father of young William Goldaby who was hung at Fort Smith, Arkansas twelve or fifteen years ago for murder. This young man was known as "Cherokee Bill" and became known all over the United States as a train robber and murderer. He was born at Fort Sill. His mother, Ellen Goldaby lives at Fort Gibson, Oklahoma or did live there seven years ago. Drowned in the River. Julius Lane, a twelve year old colored boy was 'drowned in the James River at the foot of Tenth Street last Monday. He was bathing and got beyond his depth. When assistance reached him, he had gone down for the last time and was dead. His home was at 1224 St. James St. Rev. R. B. Morris Returned. Rev. S. S. Morris, pastor of Third Street A. M. E.

As a result, when he reached Burkeville to change to the N. and W. R. R. for Lynchburg, where he was expected at the City Auditorium that night, the train had left ten minutes and there was no possible way to get there, although he went to Meherrlin with the hope of reaching there by the Virginian Railway or by the Lynchburg and Durham or even by way of Danville. He wired Col. U. S. G. Patterson and endeavored to reach him by Long Distance telephone. This did not lessen the great disappointment over his failure to be there. It was his first mishap of this kind in twenty-five years and indicates that he will have an extra chance always in future appointments.

AT THE NATION'S METROPOLIS. Dr. Booker T. Washington in the Greatest Address of His Career at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church—Dr. L. Garland Penn Active—Dr. Hucules, an Enterprising Young Pastor—Correspondent Appointed Editor of the Baptist Herald—New Old Fellows' Hall—General Notes. (Allen's National News Service.) New York City, April 19.—Dr. Booker T. Washington captured the Metropolitan last Sunday afternoon in one of the greatest addresses of his career at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church at mass meeting under the auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. It was the largest meeting seen in this city for sometime and an audience of 2000 people of both races, representing the best citizenship of this city applauded the thrilling address of Dr. Washington. The great educator, whose name and fame have pierced every section of the civilized world was never in better form and has never received greater and more pronounced reception than what he got when he rose to speak last Sunday. Fresh from a triumphant tour of the State of California; the great educator came to this city last Sunday and conquered it and won new laurels for himself and further placed himself in the esteem of his race. The educator, although fresh from a tour which kept him on the jump looked better than at any time since he has been coming to the Metropolis. The announcement of his coming put the Metropolis on its mottle and long before the hour scheduled for his appearance a steady stream of well dressed men and women were seen wending their way to the church. Major R. R. Moton, of Hampton presided and on the rostrum were Rews. W. P. Hayes, pastor of the church; W. H. Brooks, of St Mark's M. E. Church; Mrs. W. H. Baldwin, widow of the late William H. Baldwin, Prof. George E. Haynes of Lok University, E. K. Jones and L. Hollingworth Wood. Special music was furnished by the choir. The meeting was called to order by E. K. Jones and the invocation was given by the Rev. Dr. W. P. Hayes. After a brief address by Mr. Jones, stalling the aim and purpose of the league, Major Moton was presented. Major Moton said the organization was one of the most potent in this city and country for the uplift of the Negro and was bringing the two races together in an admirable manner. He said the organization was doing its work by results rather than resolutions. Prof. George E. Haynes, Professor of Sociology of Flask University and the Director of the work of the National League was the first speaker. Prof. Haynes outlined briefly the educational side of the work and said since the beginning of the league it had been able to inspire many of the young men and women to seek a higher education and that a fellowship had been provided for colored students at Columbia University. Judge R. R. Crain, one of the strongest friends of the Negro in this city and one of the Directors of the League was the next speaker. Judge Crain called attention to how the organization could help the 100,000 Negroes of this city to adjust themselves to the new conditions they meet in coming to large cities. Judge Crain said one of the commendable features of the work was Housing Bureau, which sought to regulate the houses of questionable character and separating the bad from the good. He called attention to how the league was seeking suitable employment for the young colored women of the city by investigating all places of employment before they were sent to them. Mrk. W. H. Baldwin and L. Hollingworth Wood were presented and received a warm reception. David Manness of the Musical School Settlement and who received his musical inspiration from a colored man named Douglas played several violin selections. Major Moton then presented Dr. Washington in one of the happiest introductory addresses ever heard in this section. He said Dr. Washington was the greatest of all living Americans and was loved by more people than any man in America. "Dr. Washington is the most unique character in America," said the Major, "and for thirty-five years he has given his life for his race." Dr. Washington when he arose, faced the largest audience seen in this city for many a day. He got an ovation that spoke louder than words and told of the place he held in the affections of the race. Dr. Washington said in part: "I believe heartily in the objects and aims of this organization and of its methods. The problems of the league is to assist the Negro to adjust itself to the new condition it meets. The Negro race in the last 53 years has supported itself as few races have. When the Negro was given his freedom a few of his enemies doubted the wisdom of it he it was though, that the Negro would (Continued on Fifth Page.) (Continued On Fifth Page.)

Fhomes Hewtn,..... 48 Sen cas be peltuaes me Os eeteg Big League Stories By CHARLES E VAN LOAN IV.-THE PHANTOM :::: LEAGUE :::: From "The Ten Thousand Dollar Arm and Other Tales of the Big League" Copyright, 1912, by Small, Maynard & Company ROBERT, DAVIS PRISSEE. Pop Frisbee for short, was a big league scout. For the benefit of those who may not know the exact status of the baseball scout we will lay a finger on a few of the conditions which created this particular branch of the sporting service. A long time ago baseball was a recreation. Then it grew into a commercial experiment, broadened into a pay proposition and is now, in point of money invested, interests staked and popular following, the greatest outdoor amusement enterprise in the world. When baseball began to pay the managers set about acquiring performers who would draw money at the box office—that is to say, players who could win games. The game itself devolved along scientific lines, and the big league came next, with its ever increasing demand for new bows. Pop Friday was a good scout. Between his teams and his thirteens he had been a ball player and a team captain famous in the minors. His inability to hit high class pitching had condemned him to spend his active days just outside major league organizations, but he was a marvelous defending first baseman and had a knack for developing raw material in a short space of time. The big league is an interesting sort of an octopus. The player who strings to the top holds his job just so long as he can play his position all the bit better than any other man whom the management can find, and the management is everlastingly on the lookout for that other man. That is where the scout comes into play. Big job is to find the boys who are to be the stars of tomorrow. When Friebee started to take on weight and could no longer "speak" the bad throws at first he began to look about him for a permanent position of some sort, and Timothy Chahil at that time managing the Wanderers from the bench, employed Friebee as a scout. Chahil once played second base under Friebee, and he had respect for Pop's judgment of a yearling. Friebee went about his work allently. He never hunted ball players with a brass band or a top blight process, and he kept his mouth shut. Once during his first year he had opened his heart to a friend, and it had cost him a wonderful right handed phenomenon whom he had discovered pitching in a timber league in Michigan. That taught Pop a lesson. He kept his own counsel, covered his trail THE BASEBALL GAME He Was a Marvelous Fielding First Baseman. (Posed by Ball of the Red Box.) where he could and when on the scent was as secretive as a detective. Competition was stiff, and all the clubs were wondering where Fri梨bee "dug up his life ones." Pop Fri梨bee has another job now. He is an inspector for a public service corporation. Into his work he puts no enthusiasm, and out of it he gets no pleasure. His salary check is smaller, too, and it may be that he notices the increased cost of living. His judgment of a ball player is every bit as keen as it was ten years ago, and he still remains the qualification of mind which made him a success as a scout. Then why is he an inspector? Because he was laughed out of baseball-guyed out of the business to which he gave the best years of his life. He was the victim of a practical joke which was certainly never aimed at Robert Davis Fri梨bee. Be patient, for the story begins-begins with Johny McGeean sitting in front of an adobe house in the hamlet of San Miguel, county of Rio Aztec, state of New Mexico. In most of the little towns of New Mexico, far away from the main lines of the road, there are men, from most of the Mississippi, of those New in that high, dry atmosphere be- cause they and the flag end of life sweet to them. "There are others who, as they say, have 'Taken it in time.' These expect to get well and return some day to God's country. That phrase is as old as the garden of Eden, and it was invented when Adam took back look on his shoulder and caught the flash of the sword at the boundaries. God's country is never the land in which one lives, but the land to whom one cannot return. Thus to Johnny Moegan "God's country" meant Chicago, to Billy Killbourne it meant Boston, to Fred Parks it meant San Mokin. Pa. and to Jefferson Davis Johnson "God's country" meant Baltimore. The Chicago sporting writers gave Johnny Meygan a farewell bumpet and a boiling cup to take with him when he went away, and they drank his health with a choke in their throats, for they did not expect to see him again. Since he had been promised upon him by a specialist of international reputation after the start baseball reporter had touched all winter, "There is a chance," said the specialist "Try New Mexico or Arizona." "Never let it be said that I quit while there was a chance," said Johnny Meygan. "I'm on my way, doe." Johnny had seen the local specialist at Albuquerque, who had given him hope and good advice. Open air had been recommended, and Johnny had made a long, bouncing trip with a musking and a pack horse. San Míngel had been at the end of that journey. That was because of Billy Killbourne. Billy was excteting in San Miguel with more comfort than he had been able to find elsewhere. Billy was only twenty-five, but he had lived his life in a tremendous hurry and crowded so many things into it that it had been New Mexico of heaven, and Billy took no chances. He married for Boston and the Maine town and nearly wept with joy at meeting some one who could give him an expert opinion upon the probable strength of the Boston Nat'l-mails. Killimunia's people were quite wealthy, and he had turned an adult house into a very comfortable affair. The furniture had been bought in Denver and freighted from China at the foot of the Cumbres pass. "You'll stay here with me for a while," said Billy. "Nothing happens by chance, you know. You were sent here to cheer me up. Just think of a regular big league baseball writer dropping in out of the clouds! It's too good to be true. Now, how is this young Hawley going to do in the outfield? And why did they die the can to Homer Kennedy?" So Johnny McGeean stayed on at San Miguel, filling his lungs with the clean, dry air and his stomach with the excellent nourishment furnished by Jefferson Davis Johnson, who had once been Killourn's valet, but through love was now his cook. Besides Kilbourne and Meaghan, there was Fred Parks, a wandering printer, who had reached the end of his earthly pilgrimage at San Miguel. Parks had a small general supply store and managed to make a living mainly through the large orders which Kilbourne gave him. There was also Antonio, a young Jacarilla, who had been to Carlisle, and sometimes liked to remember that he had played center field with the fastest ball team that that school ever produced. Antonio was interesting. He took Kilbourne and Meaghan on long rides through the reservation, and Kilbourne pretended that he was making a collection of Indian blankets. It gave him a slender interest in life. One evening Meaghan, Kilbourne and Parks were sitting in front of the Hotel Toulraine, as Kilbourne, persisted in naming his house. He said it had a homelike sound. They had exhausted seven up, cinch and dominoes, and Meaghan had been recounting some of his newspaper experiences. "Gosh," said Johnny; "I wish we had a paper here." Kilbourne laughed until he coughed. "Man alive!" he panted. "What for?" "Why, just for the fun of getting it out," said Johnny. "Think of the things we could put into it! No copy seek to get by, no city editor to howl. Why, we could kid the whole southwest." "It wouldn't pay," said Parks solemnly, whereupon both young men booted at him. "Oh, laugh if you want to," said he. "A fellow tried it once. He must have been nutty. He died. I found his whole plant put away in the back room of the store when I bought out Moreno. The Mexican took the works for a small debt-an old army press, some type, ink—" "Where is that stuff now?" demanded Kilbourne. "Oh, it's down there yet," said Parks easily. "I never bothered, with it, and there any market for junk closer than Durango." Kilbourne looked at Mergan, and to together they looked at Parks. "Right here, on this very spot," said Kilbourne impatiently, "we found create, institute, organize, and in- porate the San Martin Messenger." speak to be owner and publisher because all any owner ever has to do is furnish the money. That lets him out. "Me, for the editorial department!" said Meegan. "And I'll show these folks around here what a real sporting page looks like, believe me." "That being the case," said Parks solemnly. "I'll print it. You can't sit a thing on me. I'm as game as you are. And as much of a blamed fool, he added softly. Pop Frisbee had several good Friends among the newspaper men, and whenever he was in Chicago he made it a point to drop in on Charlie Hough Charlie was an old timer and had a round which reached back to the days of the Brotherhood. Pop had known him for nearly twenty years. The big league pennant races were drawing to a close when Pop dropped into Chicago on his way west. While he did not mention the fact, he was headed for Albuquerque. By slow stages he intended to reach the principal city of New Mexico in time for the great annual baseball tournament which takes place in the fall after the close of the big league season. This pennant is the greatest anatation of the state fair, and the cities of the southwest often hire the best pitchers in the country to represent them in the annual struggle for glory and the NL tour. Pop Frieski never missed that Albuquerque tournament, for he knew he would aid the flower of the southwestern diamonds. 2. Charlie Thouch was glad to see Pop and chatted with him for several minutes. There he was called to the innings edits, a coffee and soft Pops above the red pit box. A pile of papers to open the top of the desk, and Pop is through them, glancing at the Spotted pages. Hint-wise, was the pile the paper upon a finger in the Sun Michael Messenger. It was a quiet looking sheet, and when the saw that it was published in San Miguel, the writer county, N.M., held it into his pocket glanced at the news of the coming attack. There was a hotel Pop remembers, the Messenger and drew it forth. It was a heap of a new paper, as it coded of only four sheet, and coded the title line appeared a peculiar motif. Very unearthed artifact of the recent re-print of the paper. Pop glanced at the front page. Leading the paper was an amazing news reel. We reckon that we must see more clearly the connection to the tableau of our reconstructed fortress in Pompeii. Seurat Juné de la Seurat was a very important painter again in the 19th century, but after it was pretty thoroughly put to the press up the Tan Can bancoward until he reached the fountain, where he was greeted by the chattering and popular Seurat de la Seurat, the beautiful and tall painter. In 1883, Máximo de la Fuente Hamilted. In the excess of his historical exhibition, the creation of his painting, Seurat de la Cruz settled a tight asymmetry upon the delicate smaller oil paintings he had acquired and populated. She immediately retreated by bitting her lord and master between the eyes with a compact bottle. Seurat de la Cruz took the lord and master in the morning immediately. We have frequently deplored the prevalence of such occurrences in our test reconstructions and it would seem that alcoholic excuses are understimulating the foundations of our social tableau. The fundamental of our social structure are therefore We intended to print in this number a greel blanks verse poem entitled "The Desert Home," but our staff posed sought his assistance in the subject of his forty lines he now described in much inspiration that he now desired in the baskill until he became as he craises to see nards of red, white and blue elephants, pink mice and other peculiar animals. This gem appeared under the heading "Nooked." On the same page there was another starting item. **APACHE PEISING.** It was mentioned that upon Wednesday last there was an fighting among the Jaccarites. This we want to deny in the strongest terms. We were on the inside of the insurrection, so to speak, or at least we had some done on the inside of the insurrection, and we now explain the side adrift. Our late printer's devil, whom we christened Sokaleaia P. Bender, better known as Man Who Lays down on His Job, and John Layne, better known as Apache of the Jacaranda tree, he claimed to be the second cousin of Henry Clay Geronimo, formerly a citizen of prominence in these parts and well known in New York. He concocted about a pint of squirrel looze the family resemblance became most striking. Last Wednesday, being thirsty, the aficionado Sokaleaia P. Bender burned into the edisonian谱本 and snared therefrom a half gallon jug of St. John's Celebrated Spavin Cure, believing the same to be eyewitness. Citizens who saw our construction took to the middle of Lafayette boulevard placed the wrong construction upon his actions. The uprising was a personal affair and entirely internal. The interment yesterday was private. Pop Prisco read these items with a corrugated brow. "Huh?" he snorted. "Some bush league newspaper to tell him funny." Then he opened the paper to expose the inside sheets, and his opinion of the Sap Miguel Messner suffered r sidden change. The entire inside section of the paper-two full sheets was devoted to sporting news, and the thing which caught top Fiskars's eye and caused it to bounce slightly was the column of box scores and the "Official Standing of the Independent Northern New Mexico League." "Suffering snakes!" grunted the scout. "I never knew they had a league in northern New Mexico! Outlaws, of course." There it was under his very eyes—the percentage column of the league, with four clubs in the order named: "They've been playing all season Saturdays and Sundays" thought Frisbee. "Well, well, well." I wonder if I know any of those players" He cast his eye down the line of the best scores. There was not a professional name that he had ever heard before. "The San Miguel Sidelines" had a Mexican lineup judging by the names-Ortiz, Gonzalez, Martinez, Valdez, Morales, Garcia, Garcia, Vilard and Where Is the Father Who Is Not Interested In the Morals of His Child?

Recall the days when you were a child and how you watched your dear parents trudge off to church on the Sabbath. Of course the world not as advanced then as it is today. But many of the so called advances really are recessions. In many places, thanks to the advanced thought, the name of God doesn't obtain the revere; it did when you were a child. There is no denying that "going to church" has deteriorated in many of the so called enlightenment communities. This exertement is only darkness. Where is the scientist or leader in science thought to compare with God? Churches are the houses of God. There you will hear the word of God. They should be led to overflowing.

The Apaches warlike sons mule Mule, Ra- Hungry Cow- less Peto, Sw- Arte Antonio we think of that a regular Indian how those boys "Well, what ye think of that?" mused the scout. "A regular Indian team, and body lines, how those boys can hit." Indeed, the score of the game between the A's and the Boston Terriers proved. The hit column was thickly skimmed with gwres and thres, and in it summary the list of extra base hits was a long one. Aztec Antonio was counted with two home runs and a doubled Singing Mule had two doubles and a triple. Footseat Pete with four hits out of four times up had a home run a triple and two singles, and Bad Hornet had two triples. Then came the crowding surprise the name which appeared at the beginning of the story of the games. There it was, just as Bad Hornet had agen it a thousand times in days gone by in ten point gobble "John Meygan Jr." "Johnny Moegan" said Pop. "So that's where he went." And he's working on a rotten litter a paper like this! Too bad! Well, there is one boy who knows a nail player who has seen one. What does he have to say? John Moegan, Jr., took a great deal to say. His account of the game between the Spades and the Boston Terriers left no vague shadow of doubt in Pop Fushee's mind. From the instant his eyes nighted on the "standing of the coyote" he had felt the inclination to make a trip over into Rio Arriba county, wherever that should prove to be, and take a look at this unknown collection of ball players. When he ran his eye down the figures which represented the terrific hitting ability of the Apaches the inclination grew stronger, but when he read what Johnny Moegan had to say about Aztec Aniado, Singing Mule, Footlose Pete and Bald Hornet the fate of the Independent Northern New Mexico lore was settled. Thus wrote Johnny Moegan: Never has such a hitting team been gathered together in any league of the country. Itbourne, who twirled for the curvy, curves, and change of pace. He mixed up his repertoire with all the skill at his comed, but man after man the Apache wished to the plate and smashed at the ball. He was at it because the balls which were out through the infidel traveled at its terrific speed that it was physically impossible to handle them using his lightning speed at all times, hold the Territorial helpless and all but hitless. Kittencal's man were game and fought in the face of overwhelm and stop the lathings when they begin to hit. Friens stopped off in Denver to greet a few old friends and ask some questions about western leagues. On the second afternoon, as he was loafing in the lobby of the Brown Palace, he saw Dave Martin limp in with his suit, ease, and write his name on the register. Dave was the scout for the Benedictine; the very miserable who had robbed top of the timber league pitcher augmented. Pop held a newspaper in front of his eyes until Martin was safe in the elevator, and then going to his room he hurriedly packed his suitcases. "It won't surprise me a bit if Davy was after the same bunch," he thought to himself. "Well, if he beats me hell out of him," he been traveling." A night spent on a Denver and Rio Grande Pullman handed "Pop in Alamosa in time for breakfast, after which he embarked on a narrow gugge train for the long, jolting ride over the Cumberland pass, with Channa as the objective point. The train was delayed so that a night at the Chama Bone was necessary and the following day Pop climbed into the backboard for San Miguel. "A mistake," thought Pristine, "Basketball in a dump like this." Not in a thousand years! Boy, boy, what's the name of this place? A fat, pork marred young Mexican omnivore "Jurka" general, mechanic emblem in time to answer the question. It was indeed San Miguel. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` Pop stood in the whitish dust between his soft cases and felt in an inner pocket. His brain staggered between doubt and certainty, and he clung desperately to a printed word, as men have done since newspapers were invented. "Amigo" said Pop, pointing to the heading of the paper which he held in his hands, "where will I find the sporting editor of this great religious daily?" The Mexican appeared troubled and began to roll a cigarette "Quien sahe?" he said. "Meegan is his name," said Pop—"Johnny Meegan." "Ah!" said the youth, with a smile. He pointed toward a large adobe house which stood on a slight rise of ground on the outskirts of the village. The front door of the nobile house was open, and, as no attention was paid to his knock, Pop Frisher stepped inside. In the middle of a large room two men were seated on opposite sides of a table in a negro and an indian. A white man, little more than a skeleton, sat at a small table with a pencil in his fingers and a pad of paper before him. It was Fred Parks. Not one of the queer trio looked up as Pop entered the room, and the two men ```markdown ``` Pop Frisbees Scouting For New Baseball Talent. [Posed by the Brooklyn Dodgers.] at the large table were deeply engrossed in some game which they were playing. There was a click, a whirring sound which ceased suddenly, and the white man said: "That was a strike, Jeff. You offered at it." Pop Frisbees was about to speak, but this remark jolted the conversation out of him. "A strike!" He "offered at it." What nonense was this? Once more the Indian bent over his end of the board. His blue black hair tumbled down over the crimson blanket, and he applauded hard at a trigger which should release a round white pellet the size of a small marble. At the opposite angle of the board the negro crumbled in an expectant attitude. "Come on, Antonio!" he coaxed. "Get em oven. Get em oven." The Indian forked sharply at a string, the trigger fell, and the round pellet shot forward. The negro made an abrupt motion with his wrist that was a click, and the pellet went flying back until it was stopped by the rallying about the board. The thin man nose and examined the spot where the ball struck. "A two baso hit!" he exclaimed. "That scores the man on second. Who is that? Hayes or Tilden?" The Indian picked up a small counter which had been lying on the board, turned it over and spotted in excellent English. "Nother one." This is Cleveland.

"I been a-layin' for that curve ball of youa for three innings," he said. "Stick it. over here again, and watch what I'll do to it!" Pop Frisbee started to edge toward the door. "I've got into a private asium," he thought. Just then there came a quick step on the hard baked earth outside, and two young men burst into the room. A voice cried: "How's the game going. Tony? The Apaches edith 'em alive, as usual? Come on, you Singing Mule! That's the—Well, for heaven's sake! Pop Frisbee!" And before Frisbee knew how it happened there was Johnny Meegan, thin and brown and whitely as hard as a wire nail, painting away at his right hand and trying to trump him on the back with his left. "Johnny," said the scout, "it's good to see you again—good to see you looking so well. Your Chicago friends would never believe it was the same fellow. Why, you look it to go ten rounds with a champion!" "Sure!" said Moeghan "It's the country does it. A fine place to spend the summer if you say it quick. Oh, excuse me! Billy, I want you to meet Pop Frisbee, one of my old friends, Pop, Mr. Kilbourne of Boston, and a grand fellow. That's right, get together. Now, then, what on earth are you doing in this God for skating country?" Pop produced his copy of the San Miguel Messenger "What am I doing here?" he reported. "That's what I expect you to tell me. Johnny, what does this thing mean?" Moeghan glanced at the sheet, looked at Pop for a few two seconds in order to make sure that he was in earnest, and then, suddenly seizing Kilbourne. by the shoulders, he began to laugh as he had not laughed in six months. He cackled until his breath was all gone, and Pop Frisbee, watching him, began to perspire about the temples. The light was breaking in on him at last. "Oh, Billy!" pointed the sporting editor of the San Miguel Messenger, "This is immense! This is the best ever! I forgot to tell you that Pop here is the friend for Tom Cahill and the Wanderers, and he's come down here. Lord, I'll die in a minute!" he come down here, Billy, to look over our league. "Our league!" Then Kilbourne began to winkle, and the two boys clung to each other and laughed until poor Billy went into a spasm of coughing. When he could recover sufficient breath he reproached Frisbee weekly. "You couldn't to make me laugh that way," he panted. "It's bad for me." Pop Frisbee, whose sense of humor was never his strong point, clamored for further information. "And this stuff," said he, tapping the paper accustomedly, "is all bunk. I suppose? There isn't any league here at all." "Pop," said Megan tearfully, for he had laughled until he cried, "you do us an injustice. You are now in the presence of the Independent Northern New Mexico league! Allow me! Mr. Kilbourne here is the Boston club—Paul Revere, brt.base; John Adams, center field; John Harvard, catcher! Our friend, Chief Antonio here, is the Apache club—Raw Dog, Bald Hornet, Singing Mule and others too numerous to mention. Johnson Davis Johnson is the Coyote club—nothing less than a statesman in the lineup, and I—represent the Mexican population with the San Miguel Sidewinders. This gentleman is our official ampitie and score keeper, Mr. Parks. The games are played upon the board, which you see on the table—the invention of a Chicago fan and the cleverest thing of the sort I ever saw. You have interrupted a great double header between the Apache and Coyotes, and the score is—Parks, what is the official score?" "Eight to three favor of the Apa- ches," said Parks, gravely. "Singing Mule got two more home runs." Pop looked about him, discovered a chair and found his way to it upon his shaking legs. "Well, Johnny," he remarked grimly, "all I've got to say is that you and your bank newspaper have made an awful sucker out of me." "Oh, I say," cried Kilbourne. "You're mistaken, 'lop,' said Megan cornelyst. "It was the fellow who handed you the copy of the Messenger who wnde a sucker of you." Here Frisher turned very red and sank will drown into his ache. bank still deeper into his chair. "You see, it's this way," continued Johnny. "We get out that paper for our own amusement, and it's not for general circulation. We print just enough to send to our friends. We fake everything in it, and there's never been any intention to fool any one. You don't know how slowly the time passes in a place of this sort, and if a man doesn't something to keep him busy he likely goes to nutz. "A pal of mine in Chicago shipped me this mechanical ball game device because he had found it interesting. We discovered that we could not only play a regular game on it, but could scope it. If we gave names to the countries, it struck me that we could get up a four team league and have a popup rally, and the same goes some llyre team playing pum. It has been a good thing to our friends. If someone paid the llyre league was on the square he had CLEANING DYING AND REPAIRING. CBITMAN M. WHITE. Proprietor.

"It's up to me," he said bravely. "I swiped that paper of Charlie Hough's desk—and I guess it's coming to me Johnny." The Coyote team of the Northern New Mexico league stood humbly at Frisbee's elbow as he bent a tailender. He carried a tray upon which were placed several long glasses in which fifty cent a pound lee dinked expensively. "Let us all have a little drink," said Billy Kourineau. "Johnny, a toast." Megan snapped over the top of his glass at Frisbee. "I give you the Phantom league, gentlemen," said Johnny. "There'll never be another one like it!" "Amen to that!" said Pop Frisbee. It would be a pleasant thing to end this story without mention of its sequel. The joke carried too far sometimes becomes a tragedy. To do Johnny Meegan justice, he never intended that the facts concerning Frisbee's visit should become public property, but the friend whom Johnny asked to regard the letter as confidential] had a sense of humor devel-oped at the expense of his good taste. Inside of two weeks the story appeared in 40 newspapers copied from the original, which was printed in Chicago. Pop Frisbee and the Phantom league became the standing joke of the "winter leagues" and hot store fanning bees. They laughed Pop Frisbee out of baseball, and they came near laughing him into an asylum, so in the end the Phantom league became very real to him. The joke broke his heart and spoiled the best scout in the country to make a second class street car inspector. Johnny Morgan is back on the job again. Sometimes he comes nervous Pop Prideau in his loose uniform, but Pop always happens to be looking the other way, and Morgan would give a great deal if the Phantom tengue had never existed. Ask For Protection Against Possible Mexican invasion. Washington, April 22.—Fearing that the dispatch of the Atlantic fleet to Mexican waters will arouse Mexicans along the border to warlike action, two towns close to the border line appealed to Secretary of War Garrison to send troops to protect them against possible invasion. The secretary declined to make the names of the towns known, but he instructed General Bliss, in command of the border troops, to take whatever action he may deem necessary. Mr. Garrison stated that General Bliss will send personal representatives to investigate the situation in these two towns, and that if the situation is found to be actually serious trooper will be detailed at once to protect American citizens and property. REBELS IMPRISON U.S.TROOPS Soldiers Are Rushed to Rescue Men Who Wandered Over Line. Douglas, Ariz. April 22.—A special to the Douglas International from Tombatone says news reached there that fifteen members of Troop B, of the Teeth cavalry, are held by Constitutionalist troops just below the border near Hereford, Ariz. The troops, on border patrol, wandered across the line by accident. Troop A, Teenth, left Fort Huachuca to investigate. BIG ADDS FOR BIG BUSINESS 95,000 TROOPS IN FIRST FIELD ARMY If Military Occupation of Mexico Begomes Necessary General Wood Will Be In Command. Washington, April 22.—The war department has completed the plans for the "first field army" which will be used for the initial military occupation of Mexico should it become necessary to have a representation of the army as the ally of the navy in bringing Mexico to terms and restoring order out of the chaos in that country. This army will be under the command of Major General Leonard Wood, whose term as chief of staff has expired. Major General W. W. Wothorspoon succeeds him. The first field army will consist of 95,000 men, most of them of the regular army, as far as such commands are available. The deficiency in numerical strength will be made up by a draft upon the organized militia and, possibly, the conversion of coast artillery into infantry soldiers, as far as that is possible with the present equipment. There will be little or no employment for the coast artillery, inasmuch as the engagement of troops against Mexico will be confined to that country, without any likelihood of an attack upon our coasts. The regulars forming the first field army will be made up of the troops of the first divisions, now in New York; those of the second division, under General Frederick Funston, in the mid-west; those of the cavalry division, under General T. H. Bliss, in Texas, and those of the third division, under General Arthur Murray, on the west coast. There will be an auxiliary division, to which probably will be assigned militia commands and such volunteer forces an constitute the first installment intended for the occupation of Mexico. There must necessarily be dependence upon new legislation to furnish at least 250,000 troops in addition, with the possibility that there will be required a still further acquisition of equal number. The movement of troops will cost, it is estimated, $5,000,000 for water transportation alone. There is in readiness at Galveston, and has been for a year or more, a "fleet" of four army transports, which have been maintained there at a cost of $36,000 a month, including subsistence. The transfer by water of the troops of the first field army will call for fifty transports, for the acquisition of which the military authorities have been negotiating in a tentative way for months. It will be two, and perhaps three, weeks before any of these transports will be available for duty in the transportation of troops. "If Anyone is Killed, Blame U. 8." Mexico City, April 22.—Provisional President Huerta roterated his determination to protect all foreigners, but declared that if anyone was killed as a result of disorder growing out of the situation, the real responsibility would rest with the United States. "The policy that the American government is following is particularly unfortunate at this time," he said. "The Mexican government is striving to prevent a condition of chaos in the republic, but just at the time when we are looking for success we are threatened with international complications. "Naturally, the patriotism of Mexico will not tolerate the sight of its government trampled in the dust, but we hope to prevent any marked violence developing from the reckoning that our people will get." Huerta refused to say what plans his government was making in the present crisis. "The first move will have to be made by the United States," he declared. "That government has no basis for its action. President Wilson says that the American flag was displayed on the boat whose crew was arrested at Tampico. I say that it was not. I can do no more without putting a stain upon the heir of Mexico." The general exodus of Americans from the capital has begun. Two imports of refugees left for Vera Cruz under arrangements made by the American transportation committee, and more will be sent out as soon as possible, until the departure of all the Americans who intend to leave. Washington, April 29.—The battleship Minneapolis, with 600 marines on board and with two deplanches and aviation equipment, left Pensacola, Fl. for Vera Cruz, according to a dispatch to the navy department from the commandant at Key West.

His wife is gowned for a state occasion. This is perhaps the best picture of the man who defied the United States. THE MARITIME It was no secret that President Huerta became so desperate for the need of soldiers that he pressed into service even young boys and girls.

President Huerta has accepted the proposal of Argentina, Brazil and Spain to mediate the dispute between the Mexican and United States governmen, it was announced in Mendoza City by his Secretary, Secretary Portillo y Hojas, but President, Maduro and his are to not with the three South American powers, the aid of lecting a sovereign nation is simplified. The acceptance by Huerta was announced after Sir Liam Gordon, the British minister, and the other European navy admirals had concerned with the Minister. It is believed that Haertha thinks he may yet be able to avoid compliance with President Wilson's demand for her elimination from Marshall Islands through the influence of diplomacy. For forty-three hours pressure had been brought upon Haertha to accept the provisions of mediation, every agreement possible being used. The inability of embracing the vastly superior armed forces of the United States was impaired upon Haertha, and his other followers express, the belief that these troops would undoubtedly prove to be the viewpoint.
