COUNSEL MOVES TO SET ASIDE VERDICT. Killed a Colored Man at His Own Home in Henrico. Richardson Claims Self-Defense---Counsel Will Appeal Case. VOLUME XLII, NO. 12 JOSEPH EIGHT COUNS Killed a Co Richa Joseph Richardson, charged with killing Ernest Fletcher on the night of October 17, 1924, was tried in the Henrico County Court, and on Wednesday, January 28th found guilty of second degree murder and his punishment fixed at eight years in the penitentiary. Both men are colored. Richardson is also under indictment for wounding with intent to kill, a white man, who was with Fletcher on the night of the tragedy, Attorney J. R. Pollard and Attorney George. E. Wise made a motion to set aside the verdict as being contrary to the law and evidence and they also signified their intention, if this motion was overruled to take the case to the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia. ALWAYS HAD MONEY. It is believed that whiskey was at the bottom of the whole affair. Joseph Richardson is well known in Jackson Ward. He occupied a little house to himself for many years in the blind alley nearest Marshall street on First street and was a baseball fan. He was usually ticket holder during the games of the colored baseball teams and was a person of strong likes and dislikes. He saved his money and always had a roll of bills convenient to either bet or to pay his bills. Some notion took possession of him to move to Solomon's Store. Just off the main road to the place generally known as Yellow Tavern. SELE-DEFENSE THE PLEA It was here he entertained his friends, raised chickens, other pets, and had his dogs. The two men went out there and the tragedy fellowed. Richardson says he shot them in self-defense on his own property. During those dark some hours, it is a question as to just what took place. Richardson, at times had a morse disposition and had the appearance_o of either being doped or slightly under the influence of liquor. He did not get drunk, so far as the public knows. That he would defend himself goes without saying. He talked wild at times, but it stopped at that. OWNED HIS HOME. He purchased this house and lot, so it is said, and lived alone in this secluded spot, where he was readily accessible to his many friends at all times. Just what will be done with the other charge is a matter of speculation. The outcome will be watched with interest, as he has many friends both in this city and in the county. MR. BARBEE PASSES AWAY DUHAM, N. O., Jan. 20. — Mr. A. J. Barbee, a well-known and respected citizen died at his home here. Friday, January 16, and was laid to rest Sunday, January 18, 1925 with Masonic honors. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church for a number of years, also an Elder and was faithful to his duties at church and home. The floral designs were numerous and handsome; his beautiful fulcet being covered with a blanket of roses and narcissus. He is survived by a faithful wife, one sister, one brother and a host of relatives and friends. Mr. Barbee was the brother of Mr. Aidas E. Barbee, who once resided in Richmond, Va., and was employed as headwaiter of the Old Dominion steamship. Subscribe to The Richmond Planet FULTON NOTES.

HOME FROM SCHOOL MILLER AND LYLES IN RUNNIN WILD, HERE NEXT WEEK 44 A musical comedy replete with catchy singing, snappy dancing, beautiful seemery, gorgeous costumes a wonderful chorus of forty, and their own orchestra—that's the description in brief, of Miller and Lyles latest success "Runnin' Wild" the Academy of Music offering on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 5, 6, 7, with a matinee on Saturday. Miller and Lyles are bringing the production here with the original cast, so popular for one solid year at the Colonial Theatre, New York. Miller and Lyles wrote the play, Mack and Johnson supplied the tuneful music. "Runnin' Wild" is said to be as good an entertainment as one could wish; it moves with pleasing rapidity through two acts and ten scenes and leaves a pleasant memory. It has a dozen or more clinging metodies, which are a few more than the average white show can boast. It has a dozen capable principals and chorus who dance wonderfully, and their own "Runnin' Wild" orchestra who play through the entire performance, and offer novelies between the TIGER FLOWERS STAGES A FINE COME BACK Knocks Out Tommy Robson in Boston. Colored Georgia Fighter in Fine Condition.--Weights Are Nearly Even. acts, in short, it is recommended as the ideal way to spend an evening. The piece is crowded with specialties, all of which are fresh and spontaneous and done by capable principals. Most unusual about the performance are the chorus. The fact is they dance in a way that can be hardly describe their work as resembling that of a chorus. It is strictly individual. They appear frequently during the show, and each time they are on they nearly stop the performance. They are one of the many good things in "Runnin' Wild" and one of the specialties that make the piece as attractive as it is. The principals are all very good. Miller and Lyles have an individual style of comedy that provokes laughter continually. Their method of putting a line across is always effective. All things combined "Runnin' Wild" can be proclaimed as delight for a musical production as has played here in many seasons and one worth seeing. Coming! Coming! Coming!

Virginia Fighter in on. --- Weights arly Even. BOSTON, January 28.—Tiger Flowers, of Atlanta, Ga., 44, the colored light heavyweight, won a technical knockout over Tommy Robison, of Malden, tonight, when the referee stopped the fight early in the eighth round to save Robison from more of the punishment, which he had taken from the first. The weights were: Flowers 169 pounds; Robison, 168. It will be remembered that Flowers was knocked out recently in Madison Square Garden by Jack Delaney. ELAINE RIOTERS FREED NEW YORK, January 14.—The National Association for the Advancements of Colored People announces receipt of a telegram from Sculpio A. Jones, of Little Rock, stating that the last of the prisoners jailed in connection with the Arkansas riots of 1919, had been released. This marks the end of a six-year fight brought to a successful conclusion by the Association, in the course of which twelve colored farmers of Arkansas were saved from the death penalty and sixty seven prisoners who had been sentenced to life and long-term imprisonment have been freed. The famous "Arkansas Case" was undertaken by the Association in October, 1919, immediately upon receipt of news in New York that a rio was in progress. While the rio was still going on, Walter White, Assistant Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. arrived on the scene and gathered faces showing the condition of peonage prevailing in Arkansas, out of which the trouble sprang. The Association in published Mr. White's findings to the country, meeting the propaganda, put forth by Arkansas whites about a plot by Negroes to "massacre whites." Mr. White reported that Negroes were being hunted and 250 shot down like wild beasts, in the Arkansas cane brakes, because they had organized to employ a lawyer in an endeavor to obtain settlements and statements of account from their landlords under the share-cropping system. In farcical and summary trials, during which torture was employed to make colored men testify against each other, 12 colored farmers were sentenced to death and 67 to life and long terms in jail. The Association at once undertok to liberate the men and thus strike a blow at the peonage system in Arkansas. U. S. Bratton, the white lawyer whom the peons had hoped to employ, former U. S. Attorney; together with Seipio A. Jones, with the cooperation of Moorfield Storey, President of the N. A. A. C. P. carried the cases through the courts and before the Governor of Arkansas to victory. Th's long fought legal battle resulted not only in the saving of the lives of 12 innocent men and the release of 67 others from prison but in the opening up and placing before the people of the United States the whole nefarious practice of peonage in the South; in the exposing of the conspiracy which had been formed to justify the massacre of more than two hundred and fifty colored men and women, and which would have been used afterwards as an excuse for similar crimes; and in the winning in the Supreme Court of the United States a decision which stands as a protection for white men as well as for black men who may thereafter be tried under the conditions which surrounded the Negro peons of Arkansas.

Following the Brachiopod came a worm known as the Scolites and then in another 500,000,000 years came the Trilobite, who looked like a crab and probably passed down some of the other dispositions you see occasionally. Says Professor Oliver C. Farrington, curator in charge of the museum's new geological exhibit: "The relationship between the Eozoon and the Brachiopod is unknown. The latter was a highly developed form of animal, and millions of years intervened between it and the Eozoon which word means 'Dawn Animal.'" SCIENTISTS STUMPED "What the worm Scolites look like we have no idea. "The Trilobite, which means will vided into three parts," was about the size of a half dollar.

TROUBLE IS FOR US all and we can do best by stoically meeting it and by not fearing anything, not even death, for God has promised us a reward in Heaven. IT IS ALL RIGHT to be stiff-necked at times and to be sensitive upon racial matters, but self-respect and respect for your white neighbors will win you strong support down here in this land of sin and sorrow. STARTING OUT in life does not worry some people for the reason that they never start out. They depend upon leaning upon their parents as long as they are in this world to be leamed upon. PRESIDENT CALVIN COOLIDGE is pursuing the course of a fearless statesman. His proposition for the reduction of the expenses of Government is the correct one. He proposes to increase the pay of those persons who are employed by the government and to reduce the number of those employed, who are not essentially necessary for the conduct of the government. By this method, he would promote the efficiency of the service. Of course there will be a loud outcry in certain quarters as a result of this policy, but it is carrying out the declaration of one of our greatest statesmen and financiers, when he said, what is needed is more business in government and less government in business. President Coolidge will need much nerve for the task that he has undertaken and also fearless, faithful bureau chiefs to carry out this drastic policy. He will popularize his administration with the tax paying citizens and make it mighty unpopular JACK SPRA IF THE BLACK STAR LINE and its supporters have stopped sending in subscriptions simply because the scammer has been purchased and sailed for West Indian ports, the scheme is doomed. To be sensible and progressive, the monetary contribution should be continued until a half million dollars more is available. Then the promoters will have enough ready cash to ensure the success of the venture by taking care of any losses which might take place before the vessel is on a paying basis. The Negroes of this country must engage in commerce in order to win a place in the respect of the civilized world. We have made our mark fighting in the armies and navies of many nations. Now, let us secure a lasting name by venturing in the commercial fields and by failing until we learn how to engage in business without falling. Sentiment is all right, but plain, business methods must be employed in order for us to win a place among the commercial nations of the world. We pause to remark that there are millions in it, both for the officers, the promoters and the people who risk their hard-earned cash in the ventures.

January 23. — Sx more Houston Martyrs, former members of the 24th Infantry, imprisoned for their alleged share in the Houston Riot of 1917, were released on January 8 and January 15 of this year, it was announced today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People reducing the total number of these men stl in prison to 29. Since the N. A. A. C. P. presented the petition signed with 125,000 names to President Coolidge in February of 1924. 26 men have been released. The men released on January 8 are: Fred Avery and William Mance. A week later, on January 15, the following were released: Henry Green George Hobbs, William J. Hough and George J. Parham. Mr. Parham visited the national office of the N. A. A. C. P. in person to express his thanks for the efforts that had been made in his behalf. One of the men released January 8, William Mance, was originally sentenced to death, his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment after the National Association appealed to President Wilson in 1918, and this latter sentence was commuted to 20 years, making him eligible for the parole which has now been granted. Of the 10 men originally sentenced to death, whose sentences were commuted to life imprisonment through N. A. A. C. P. action, 6 have now been paroled as follows: John Lanfer, released Nov. 10, 1924. Edward Porter, November 26, 1924. John Gould, November 26, 1924. John Geter, November 26, 1924. William Burnette, December 14, 1924 William Mance, January 8, 1925. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND.

People who have persistent, annoying coughing spells at night, and are weakening their systems and laying themselves open to dangerous infections, can stop their distressing cough and treat them with the treatment. Hundreds who have hardly been able to rest at all for coughing, have gotten their full sleep the very first time they tried it. The treatment is based on a remarkable prescription known as the phlegm treatment. You simply take a teapoonful at night before retiring and hold it in your mouth, swallowing it, without following with water. The prescription has a double action. It not only relaxes the muscles, but it quickly loosens and removes the phlegm and congestion which are the direct cause of the cough. You usually sleep as soundly as a babo the very first night, and the entire cough condition goes in a very short time. The prescription is highly recommended for coughs, chest colds, and wonderful for children's coughs and spasmodic croup—no harmful drugs. Economical, too, as the dose is only a small amount, and a sale at all good drummers. Ask for DR.

Ma Ferguson's Log Cabin Home Ma Ferguson's Log Cabin Home proof that most of the country's great men, big pardon, women, were born in log cabins. This is a place of "Ma" Ferguson, Texas governor, near Temple, Tex. Inset, Mrs. Ferguson. By "THE CAMERAMAN." (Preston News Service) MICHIGAN AND MISSOURI MARCH FORWARD. Forward-looking movements of great significance, economically and socially, are taking place in the Statea of Michigan and Missouri, where state officials are foreseeing a new day for the Negro population. In Michigan, C. A. Campbell, a Negro special agent, attached to the State Department of Labor and Industry, has visualized a wide expansion of agricultural territory, upon the soil of which Negro farmers and agriculturists may find a wealth of employment in farming and agricultural occupations, which are quite as important as the anvil chorus of a factory or industrial plant. In Missouri, another State official, Robert S. Cobb, has compiled an illuminating report upon the conditions surrounding Missouri Negroes. Mr. Cobb did not miss anything in his facts and figures relative to industry, agriculture, health, education, housing, migration, and the resulting influences which may "make or break" the Missouri Negro population, present or future. In Missouri, another State official, Robert S. Cobb, has compiled an illuminating report upon the conditions surrounding Missouri Negroes. Mr. Cobb did not miss anything in his facts and figures relative to industry, agriculture, health, education, housing, migration, and the resulting influences which may "make or break" the Missouri Negro population, present or future. If nothing more had been done by these two officials than to pen a true picture of facts and influences bearing upon their brethren, their official work would have been outstanding. But the gentlemen have gone a step further. They have made recommendations to their chieftains, and they have pointed out to the country at large what may be done to put all the citizens of their States upon a parity, thus equalizing labor and protecting health, happiness and home. The remedy is a palatable one, and there is no reason under the sun why the people of Michigan and Missouri, both white and colored, should hesitate to take it. It contains for such events as have had such harmful effects in East St. Louis, Chicago and Washington, and is a pioneer-like step in the journey to interracial peace and progress. "COLD-BLOODED BUSINfSS" The Manager of the Steamship Line of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, Inc., whose new vessel, the "Booker T. Washington", is riding the bounding billows somewhere between New York and the West Indies, is quoted in the New York press as saying: "We are going to run it on cold-blooded business lines. We do not intend to cut rates. All we want is a quare deal". "Cold-blooded business" has an ominous strain, not unlike the evening dirge of a hangman, or the reverie of the master of a galleysave ship. It is in direct contrast to the Golden Rule, and, if thoroughly applied to us poor mortals, it would make the world decidedly more unhappy than it is. Let us look at the "Log Book" of "Cold-Blooded Business", where the debits make the credits look like grains of sand: "Cold-blooded Business" ruined Belzshazzar. It was the downfall of Napoleon Bonaparte. While it made the South become prosperous for a time, through the slave trade, its final reckoning cost the South Ma Ferguson's Log years and years of progress. "Cold-blooded Business" tried to silence the poetic voice of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, and would have muzzled the songs of Roland Hayes. It failed, though. It has cost our group the heavyweight championship at least once or twice. "Cold-blooded Business" has wrecked a number of our banks. It has forced a number of our business enterprises into bankruptcy and failure. Just a short month or two ago "Cold-blooded Business" had one of our most prosperous insurance companies staring at defeat. Again it was forced into the background by merit and justice. "Cold-blooded Business" and "hard-boiled" methods, in fact, never pay all the way down the line, because their proponents always meet someone who is a little more "cold-blooded" and "hard-boiled" than are the protagonists of such principles. Quiet, honest effort, tempered with as much feeling for others as we would want them to, have for us will prevail over "cold-blooded" business time in and time out, excepting, perhaps, in the stock market—and that is not a business—it is a profession. JUDGE BARTLETT OUR LATE FRIEND Time, the tireless censor of life's span, has obeyed the call of Death by yielding up another staunch friend of our group in the passing of Judge Willard Bartlett, late Chief Justice of the New York Court of Appeals. We well remember the amiable justice, who used to take delight in passing out gifts of candy and money to the little colored children of Middle Long Island, New York. Nor did they worry during the early days of Judge Bartlett about having fireworks on the Fourth of July, or plenteous goodies during Thanksgiving or Christmas periods, for Judge Bartlett was sure to stop at the house and remember the kiddies, and mother and father, also. Judge Bartlett believed in an even break for everybody, and it is not strange that he remained on the bench year after year, until he was given the highest judicial assignment within the bounds of the people of his State. Justice saturated his whole life and was fulsome in his soul long before his elevation to the Chief Judgeship. It seems that many of our friends of the "yesterdays" are passing on, and though many remain in the ranks of the old-fashioned just folk, such as Powderly, Harlan and Bartlett are not stalwart. These absentees must be replaced and the growing band of "supremists" must be made to know that in no wise are they considered as embodying the true spirit of America. Justice must not be confined to the Bench, for it is needed just as much in the highways and byways where men of the type of Judge Bartlett seem to be few and far between. We are grateful, though, for the advent of men such as he. From their memoirs we can extract wholesome examples of real manhood which may sway the "pack" whenever it besets us most savagely.

MR. STONE'S ENEMIES. TWO WONDERFUL LEGS. ABOUT CLOCK WATCHING. H. G. Wells worries about the American system of public school education. He is much afraid that our manhood will be damaged because our school boys are educated largely by women. It is kind of Mr. Wells to worry, but he is wasting time and energy in this case. If he will look into his own book of history at one of his ancestors with the big teeth, low forehead and heavy jaw, he will find that human beings have changed. And he ought to know that they have changed, thanks to the fact that men have been educated by their MOTHERS. Women have educated not only the boys but also the men, gradually taking the brutality out of them and what they need. On the ap of his mother, and at her knees, man has been changed from the troglodyte, that used to catch his neighbor's thigh bone to get at the marrow, into our present imitation of civilization. Women can teach the sc. boy justice, kindness, courage, patience and concentration. What other manly characteris-tion does the man teach?

He ran the mile in 4 minutes 13 3-5 seconds, cutting a second off the world's record. Honor him, his legs, heart, lungs and courage, but honor still more highly such men as the late Steinmetz. A crippled hunchback, he could not have run five thousand metres in two hours. But his brain ran as well as Nurmi's legs run. If, by the way, Steinmetz came to the United States to-day, a crippled Jewish boy, as he did forty or fifty years ago, he would be sent home. Why does the crowd pay to see fast legs and care less for a thinking brain? Because the crowd can all run. Not all can think. Further information would be welcome concerning the motives of individuals that oppose the President's appointment of Attorney General Stone to the Supreme Bench. What disturbs those that oppose the nomination? How much of the opposition is due to the fact that as soon as he was appointed Mr. Stone proceeded to select competent lawyers, to dig into the war frauds, instead of letting the grafters rest in peace? And how much of the opposition is due to Attorney General Stone's attitude toward the combination of harvester manufacturers and other concerns that do not like to be disturbed? Almerindo Portfolio, once a $8-a-week errand boy, gives a business for $7,000,000 to his employees, charging them "not to be clock watchers." Mr. Portfolio need not worry. The workers will stop clock watching, now that they own the business. To the owner, hours mean profits; to the salaried man, hours mean a nearer approach to freedom." To make men stop clock watching, interest them in the business; don't imagine you can change human nature with a moral platitude, for you cannot. Make industry attractive, and you solve industrial problems. Big business will realize that eventually.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIEGINIA Poem by owl Uncle John Joe Verplink lived a humble life in the suburbs of our town; he couldn't hardly clothes his wife—'twas sickness kept him down. We hardly ever noticed Joe—he didn't make much noise, exeptin' when the marshal grabbed his errant little boys. See, Joe lived near the railroad yards—his house weren't very warm. The little fellers rustled coal—they thought it weren't no harm. The doctor, if he's called around an' seen Joe's meager store, he writ out his prescription, but he didn't call no more. The grocer sent his statements, but it didn't do no good, so he started suit, I reckon—like an honest grocer should. Well, circumstances drifted, till the clouds refused him breath, and then Joe's burdens lifted when he sorte—starved to death.

He often offers to lend them any, and the Wreck takes five gallons at the point because he are held captive at a ranch along the way because Charlie McSweeney is held captive. They discover that Mr. Underwood, the wealthy New York owner of the ranch, is the ranch for several years, and that he and his boy and girl are to stay at the ranch for several years, and that the Wreck waits on the party in the dining room and hears them not. Sheffield who is Sally's fance, of the robbery. NOW GO ON WEEK "It doesn't worry me; I'm perfectly calm." retorted Bally. "I'm an expert on nerves," he said. "You can't fool me. I've spent my money on specialists and I know. 'tight now you're more nervous than I am—and I'm a wreck." There was a good deal of that kind of conversation all afternoon. The Wreck had an idea that if he could get her really angry she might forget about the sheriff for a while. But the only times she got angry were when she thought about Bob Wells, and then she was just as likely to be laughing again the next minute. As for getting angry at the Wreck, she refused. It was a form of comfort that was denied her, for some unaccountable reason. "Bob Wells ought to have more sense than to let anybody fill him up with a fool story about four high-waymen," she said, as she sat down to peel potatoes for supper. "Why, there isn't any such thing as even one road agent, nowadays." "We even have 'em in Pittsburg, Sally." "Pittsburg! I'm tired of hearing about Pittsburg. You'd think the sun rose and set in Pittsburg." "Not if you lived there," said the Wreck. "Well, don't be holding it up as a model, anyhow. It sounds—provincial." He refused to be irritated, which did not help Sally at all. "But you'll see the sun rise and set there before I get through with it," he remarked, with a confident jerk of his head. "Now what do you mean by that?" He explained, with a sudden enthusiasm that surprised her, that as soon as he had his process finished he was going to take the smoke out of Pittsburgh and take a lot of money away from the corporations that made the smoke. It was the first time Sally ever heard him talk much about himself, except the nervous part. They knew he was a chemist, and that was about all. Dad Morgan, not being qualified in chemistry and regarding it as something that existed only in text-books, had never pressed inquiries. He assumed that the Wreck was some kind of a professor and let it go at that. But it seemed that the Wreck was a chemist who did things in steel plants and he had picked up a lot of information about smoke, as well as a good deal of smoke itself. He was going to make Pittsburgh as smokeless as though it were run by electricity. It was only a question of time and patience and a little more research he said.

"I thought you were older than that." "That's because I'm all shot to pieces," he said, gloomily. "What rank nonsense?" "What rank nonsense!" "Looch. You only think y. Whatever made you nervous anyhow?" "Women She stared "Women?" she echoed "Henry, are you foshing me?" "It's a fact," said the Wreck. "I can't stand women. There's a pair of them in the laboratory.

And thousands of 'em, going to work, and coming home, and butting into you, no mat "THE BOYS AIN'T LIKE TO BOTHER YOU ANY." ter where you go. I haven't got anything against 'er, but I just can't stand "em." Sally continued to stare. Sally continued to sneeze. "Did you ever take one of them to a movie?" she asked, curiously. "Once. But she got sore at it and cried." "Did you ever learn to dance?" "No!" "Did you ever sit on a front porch and talk to one of them?" "Not unless they nailed me." "And you think you're a woman hater?" He looked at her in surprise. "I didn't say I hated them. I don't. I just can't stand them. They make me nervous. They act so—" He stopped and appeared to discover that she was a woman. "I—excuse me." "Certainly I'll excuse you," said Sally, "because you're a big idiot. Put on an apron and help me with these pants." She was obeying her when Charlly McSweney came into the kitchen, burdened with two men-sized grips and a ridiculous litter bag that belonged to the Wreck "Sein' as you've got convictions against rasslin' baggage," he said, "I fetched it up myself. Now, about accommodations." He scratched his ear. "When we have Chinks here, we sleep off in a corner of the bunk house. But your wife isn't a Chink.

The Wreck said it would suit him exactly "The boys ain't like to bother you any, seinn' as you're white," add I. Charley. "They won't bother me," said the Wreck significantly. Sally was not so confident; she knew how, "the boys" sometimes behaved when they had a dude on their hands. But she hoped that Charley was right, because the Wreck was not a patient young man and she had seen him when they started to haze him. Four of the boys came in at supper time; there were three more who were out having a look at the fences and Charley said they might not be back for a couple of days. The quiet took one look into the kitchen and then made a quick start. "I was very happy," she more measure the area of the land to kitchen and living ground kitchen and was always good to look at, even when she wore a big apron. I she was not downright pretty, she did not miss the mark by any noticeable distance. There was a smooth fluff in her brown hair that even Harriet Underwood might have er vied. There was a steady, friendly look in her brown eyes, which were as fine and long-lashed as any pair that might have been found in the kitchen. She was also pleasurable curve when she smiled, showing strong, beautifully even teeth which even the Wreck had observed to be white beyond a fault. The boys at Underwood's ranch even fell to cleaning their finger nails as they watched her Somech, without even so much as suggesting it by word or look. Sally had a way of creating in others—men, usually—an impulse to be neat. She did not mind having the boys sitting around the kitchen, even though they did not belong there until they were told to come and get supper. There was, however, one feature that bothered her. She had chosen to be from the coat, like the Wreck, and it was not easy to play the part. There were lots of things that a tenderfoot was not supposed to know, or say, and it kept her constantly on guard to remember the fact. She found it safer to confine herself to "Yes," "No," and "Really?" so far as it was possible. The boys laid it to shyness, although that was not one of her traits. Just as she feared, they found the Wreck amusing. A good deal of the conversation centered around his spectacles, which he wore, except for excursions into the dining room. But some rare policy of restraint seemed to have settled upon him; he calmly ignored most of what they said, and when he did answer it was with an apparent good nature that surprised Sally. She knew, however, that he was not bearing it as easily as he seemed to, and thus solidly locked in. Evidently she had made him understand the need for caution, and for that she was thankful. SALLY had very little speech with the Wreck next morning, and such words as they exchanged death with routine trivialities. He was not in conversational mood finishing his breakfast in almost complete silence, but with excellent appetite. The Wreck disappeared after the morning dish-washing. He hated to wash dishes; his very soul rose in rebellion. The only reason he enuded it was because Sally would have to wash them herself if he did not. Women were always imposing obligations on people even without making any demands, he reflected irritably. You had to do things, them, or you felt mean inside, lesser evil was to do things. 54 Epochs. 55 Table land. 56 One of monkey family. 57 Inigals of inventor of cotton gin 58 To spoil polish on furniture. 59 To sgn up for service. 60 Of "lion's den" fame. 61 A fleet animal. 62 One of the Hawaiian Islands. 63 Auction. 64 Upright. 65 To reside. 1 A native of Japan. 2 Of the camel tribe. 3 A general of the CvM War. 4 What the sun is sometimes called 5 A small bed. 6 The religion of Mohammed. 7 One of "Polly's Pals". 8 Used to connect words and sentences. 9 A kind of clay. 10 A game. 11 A September holiday (abbre.) 12 A bone. 13 An inhabitant of the air.
