John Mitchell Wins Appeal in Supreme Court of Virginia Fraud is Not Shown-Opinion of Tribunal Holds Record Fails to Prove False Entries. MAY 17, 1923 Virginia Plate VOLUME XLII NO. 19 John M Appea Co Granted N of Hig Se Fraud is Not nal Holds John Mitchell, Jr., convicted in the Hustings Court of false and fraudulent entries with intent to defraud the Mechanics Savings Bank, will have a new trial, the Supreme Court of Appeals today reversing his case on several grounds. The original indictment against Mitchell contained eighteen counts. These were reduced to three. On a motion to quash, two of these, charging larceny of $19,000, were eliminated, leaving the matter of the entries to be determined by the jury. The appellate court today held that having charged that the entries were "false and fraudulent" it was necessary for the commonwealth to prove this and that on the face of the record there was failure of proof on this point. It was also held, among other things, that the trial court's instruction on the weight of character evidence was erroneous. (Richmond, News Leader, Mar. 19) FLORIDA'S "WHIPPING BOSS" ON ANOTHER MURDER CHARGE (Crosson News Service) CROSS CITY FLA, March 18.—Evidently T. W. Higginbotham, the notorious "whipping boss" of the Putnam Lumber Company did not learn a lesson from the humiliating experiences and wide publicity given him in connection with the death of Martin W. Talbert, a white youth, alleged to have been caused by beatings administered by "Brute" Higginbotham, who is to face charges of murder in connection with the recent death of Lewis Barker, who is alleged to have been the victim of the "Brute's" lash. It is said that Barker has been missing since October, 1924 and recently his skeleton was found on the property of the Putnam Lumber Company. Higginbotham is alleged to have severely beaten Barker several times early in October. Higginbotham was convicted in 1923 on a charge of second degree murder and sentenced to 20 years in the penitentiary. He appealed the case and was granted a new trial and was subsequently released pending a new trial. Following the finding of the skeleton of Barker, the "whipping boss" was arrested and granted his liberty again on a $20,000 bond. A HUMAN MECHANICAL WONDER When in the city recently Mrs. M. C. Adams, wife of Rev. Dr. R. G. Adams, gave an interesting account of a human mechanical wonder. A colored man, who is badly crippled, has a natural ability for repairing ether clocks or watches. He can tell the time of day at any moment without consulting a timepiece. He can be called at any hour of the night and can do the same thing. The information given is accurate as he specifies the minute of the day and he has been subjected to all kinds of tests by white and colored people. He has never received any instructions along this line. He resides at Portsmouth. Va. and his name is Henry Watkins. —Mrs. Willie Lewis left the city last week for Charlottesville, Va. —Mrs. Alease Sully, 611 N. Seventh street, who has been confined to her room is slowly improving. —Mrs. Alberta Jenkins Stevenson and her little son, Joseph returned from Washington last week.

Robins 100 in 1 is magical in its effect upon the human body. It will pay you to keep a bottle on hand with the full strength. —Dr. W. J. Pettis is doing a thriving business in his palatial offices at Second and Clay streets. His patrons are well pleased. —Mr. William R. Cogbill left the city last Thursday for his home in Boston. —Mr. Ray Hollinger is keeping the Globe Theatre up to its record of high class amusements and its critical patrons are all well pleased. It is necessary to go early now in order to secure a choice seat. —Messrs. Miller and Archer have a large and steadily increasing rental list and they are inviting the public to take advantage of their services. —Dr. H. A. Allen is steadily increasing the number of his patients, who come to him for treatment, by the prompt service he is rendering. He answers day or night calls. —Dr. Albert A. Tennant had a slight accident to his car recently, but it did not interfere with his movements. He is so busy that he is pressed for time to take his meals. His Madame looks the picture of health now, despite the recent surgical operation to which she was subjected in Washington. —Dr. L. J. Hayden is "a seven days wonder". His preparations have stood the test for more than twenty years and he is still caring the people. Call and see him. —King's Confectionery on Second street is one of the most attractive establishments in the city. It is kept as "meat as a pin" and the service rivals the best in the city. —Mr. John A. Hines has a green grocery, wood and coal, quick lunch room, all combined in one. Mrs. Harris is the manager. His cleaning and pressing establishment and the shoe repairing department is next door. —Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson announces that the trouble with Manhattan Lodge of New York has been adjusted. A slight fine was assessed and the lodge re-elected its former officers. —Painting time is at hand and you can cut your painting bill in RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1925. Richmond colored people this week and next are being asked to give $50,000 to Virginia Union University and Hartshorn Memorial College as their, part of a building and endowment fund of $600,000. Negroes throughout the State will be asked for an additional $50,000 and later white friends for $200,000. The general education board of the Baptist Church will then give these schools $300,000 more, bringing the entire amount to the $600,000 needed. Because Negroes are to be asked to give only $100,000 of the sum sought the campaign committee selected "5 for 1" as the slogan for the appeal. A campaign organization has been completed, which is combing every nook and corner of the city because, as officials have pointed out, it is absolutely essential for the colored people to raise their part of the fund. "Give Negroes self-sacrificing, far seeing, industrious, upright, thoughtfully trained leaders and the race will work out its own future", Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D., president of the board of trustees, declared. Two dormitories, one for girls and one for boys, and a science hall are badly needed, Dr. William J. Clark, president of the university, stated. The present enrollment is nearly 700 students, 200 more than have been graduated from Hartshorn since its beginning 46 years ago. A short time ago, Virginia Union University was recognized by the state board as a standard four year college and it is the only place in Virginia where colored youth can receive any college education or training that will prepare him to teach in colored high schools, Dr. Clark pointed out. half.

Thomas Smith, the pastor, officiating. Mr. Johnson had been an officer in this church for a number of years and was well known by the church going people of the North and South side.

The deceased had been falling in health for more than 18 months, but he bore it all with Christian patience. He leaves many relatives and friends to mourn their loss. The interment was made in Mt. Olivet Cemetery, the colored section of Maury's.

INTO COURT STAUNTON MASONS CARRY GRAND LODGE OF VA. INTO COURT STAUNTON, VA. March 12—With the door literally closed in their faces, nine men sought today to have it reopened by the City Corporation Court as the outgrowth of a mandate of the Grand Lodge of Masons in Virginia, suspending them from membership in the local lodge for three to comply with a duly enacted law that fraternal society. R. S. Ker heard the pleas of the men through their counsel, setting up the convention that the order of the Grand Lodge was invalid, and will hand down a decision at a later date. Complainants in the suit against the local lodge and the Grand Lodge at Richmond are: Dr. S. L. Scott, A. C. Mabrey, L. C. Jones, John Childs, Coleman Jackson, Noah Brown R. B. Wilson, Edmund Scott and B. Finke. Some months ago the Grand Lodge passed a law directing that members of subordination lodges take out an endowment policy, payable at death to their widows and orphans. Approximately one year's grace was granted for compliance with the order, which terminated early in December. The complainants refused to abide by the Grand Lodge's directive on the ground that the law was invalid, but when they learned the local lodge had shut them out its facto and refused to recognize their previous good standing they resorted to the courts to regain them. Counsel for the plaintiffs based his fight for their reinstatement on the same grounds which the complainants refused to comply with the mandate, that it was invalid. The action was demurred by counsel for the lodges, setting up the contention that a civil court has no jurisdiction in the matter, there being no civil rights involved, and the only question presented being purely a matter of internal management of the lodge. It was contended that the court had no jurisdiction. A large number of spectators were present to hear the case as it was MISS HALLIE Q. BROWN SPEAKS HERE SUNDAY MISS HALLIE Q. BROWN SPEAKS HERE SUNDAY Miss Hallie Q. Brown will deliver an address Sunday, March 22, 3:30 P. M. at the Ebenezer Baptist Church. Interesting program will be presented, with excellent music.

FIRED IN HIS OWN MOUTH. He put the muzzle of the revolver in his mouth closed his lips upon the barrel and pulled the trigger. Death was instantaneous. There were no powder stains anywhere and as he lay there at the undertaker's establishment, he looked as peaceful and as un-disfigured as though he had died a natural death. Only by opening his mouth could it be seen that his tongue had been split by the explosion. The conclusion reached was that he was so drunk that he did not know what he was doing. --- In Memoriam WILLIAMS—In memory of my beloved son, John Williams, who died nine years ago, March 15, 1916: I sit oftimes lone and weary, After the toll of the day, Thinking of my darling boy Who is far, far away.

One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to clear, lovely skin, flowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal. If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations.

Dearborn Street, Chicago; Victoria Court, St. Louis, Mo.; 420 Long scree Building, New York. SATURDAY.....MARCH 21, 1925 THE ABSENCE of Vice-President Charles G. Dawes, when the vote on the condemnation of Hon. Charles W. Warren as Attorney General of the United States took place in the United States Senate recently has occasioned no end of comment and places that distinguished American in a most embarrassing situation. With the lounging rooms adjacent to the Senate Chamber and palatial halls in the immediate neighborhood, it is almost inconceivable that he should have absented himself when a question, so vital to the administration, was under discussion. It is mildly hinted and publicly sated that he was given assurances that a vote on this confirmation would not take place that afternoon. He also knew that he was dealing with politicians, many of whom masqueraded in the robes of statesmen. Be that as it may, a most delicate situation now exists. President Coolidge is in the most humiliating position of having a man manned as a member of his official family, who has been denounced in open session as morally corrupt and who he declares to be a person above reproach. There is nothing for him to do but to "stand to his guns" and establish the fact that his appointee has been grossly libelled and outrageously slandered. SOME PEOPLE are never satisfied and they do not try to be. HABITS FORMED in early life often prove to be a handicap in the years to come. EUROPE IS VAINLY looking to the United States of America to join the League of Nations. WOMEN WHO WANT husbands are generally forward in desiring to be rid of them. MEN WHO EARN much money usually invite and obtain the hatred. THIS OUGHT TO THE PRESIDENT'S ECONOMY of their colleagues, who are less fortunate. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE of the cooled persuasion have gone North. Hundreds have returned, but the bulk of them are remaining in the new land of their adoption. COLORED FOLKS do not believe in supporting each other. They try expedients that have been thrown aside by other folks and then wonder why they have such a hard time in its life. SOME PEOPLE are born for slavery and some others were ushered into this life to enjoy freedom. The former live in the jails and penitent parliies practically all of the time. They cannot go straight. PRACTICALLY every person with the "gift of gab", who is having "rough sledding" regards the Christian ministry as the road to easy living.

In its next issue the Virginia Journal of Education will print the conditions to govern the award of prizes offered by Honorable R. Walton Moore, of Fairfax, Virginia. The contest is to consist of an essay competition on or to any teacher in Virginia's rural schools, the subject to be: "What is being done and what should be done to improve and conserve the health of the children and teach them the necessity and methods of maintaining hygienic and sanary conditions in the communities where they live." Congressman Moore offered the prizes after consultation with the State Health Commissioner and the State Super mendent of Public Instruction. Both of these officials cordially endorsed the proposal and they agreed to formulate fair conditions for holding the contest. The conditions have been prepared and will appear in the next issue of the Journal of Education. The purse offered by Mr. Moore, will be divided into three parts. The first prize will be $150; the second, $100; and the third, $50. In restricting the competition to purse holders there was no thought of playing favor tee; but the donor of the prize and the two officials under whose auspices the contest is to be held—all thought that the extra opportunities for technical information available to city teachers would give them an undue advantage over the rural teachers. --- HIS VIEWS ON RACE QUESTION CHANGED.COMPLETELY ATLANTA. GA., March 10—An interesting feature of the Interracial Movement in the South has been the organization of interracial student groups in a number of college centers by which white and colored students are brought together at regular intervals for the exchange of views and the promotion of understanding. The results have been gratifying in every case. Misapprehensions have been O REDUCE HIM A LITTLE BIT. PUFF PUFF THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA HOW DO YOU LIKE THIS SONG? READ IT! What Santa Claus for a Christmas treat Has put on her Christmas Tree; And she on finding such handsome things Is glad as she can be, As she views the things, softly she sings This tune with mirth and glee. CHORUS: I thank you Santa Claus, I thank you Santa Claus, I thank you for such beautiful gifts You gave to me so free. Each precious thing is nice, indeed, And means so much to me. Oh! you're so good and kind. Oh! you're so good and kind. Your heart is of the whitest hue, You're a perfect friend, that's true. I thank you Santa Claus. What Santa Claus for her neighbors' sake.

The following story shows how the plan works: At an early meeting this year of the Atlanta group, made up of students of three white and three colored colleges, the question of higher education for Negroes was raised. One white student very frankly said that he did not believe in it; he thought it unnecessary and undesirable. He was asked to bring in at the succeeding meeting a paper in support of his view, while a colored student was asked to prepare a paper on the other side. With much interest the group looked forward to the expected debate. At the next meeting of the committee, the white student was called upon for his paper. He replied, "I haven't any. When I began to look into the subject, I found I was wholly mistaken. My views are completely changed. I believe now that colored students should have the same sort of final opportunities that other people have. other people may "Not only so". he continued, "but I think we ought to do something about this matter. A great many people still think as I used to, just because they do not know. Let's go to work to get the facts over to them through the press and otherwise".

Which current will be the stronger in the tide of exchange? Will the customs of the Southland overbalance the tempered fairness and law enforcement which have long existed to a considerable degree in the Northland? Whether or no, there is a great big bet which the BRETHREN have been overlooking during this pending transition between the white North and the white South. And that has been the failure to stimulate similarly friendly confidences within the race North and South. Division lines in the majority group are being rapidly removed, and the BROTHER, North and South, must realize that in just a few more years his location will not amount, in importance to an August zephyr. In matters of national importance, his problems will be the same in Georgia as they are in Massachusetts. Suspicion must cease. Friendship must prevail. Ahe ballot must be secured for all; and respect and teamwork must be invoked intra-racially, from Florida to Michigan.

March 20—A group of prominent race men announced last Thursday the organization of the Eagle Life Insurance Company, with offices at 2127 Draydes street. The announcement declared that this project was for the purpose of adding to the material progress of the race in Louisiana. The officers of the company are: Dr. E. T. M. Debore, president; Rev. J. L. Burrell, first vice president; Joseph Russell, Jr., second vice president; F. A. Lewis, third vice president; A. V. Dunn, secretary; S. Lyons Jordan, general manager. ACQUITTED OF MURDER CHARGE (Preston News Service ce.) WILSON, N. C. March 14—Henry Cleveland, charged with the murder of Turner Lewis, was acquitted Wednesday afternoon when he faced preliminary hearing before Justice of the Peace W. R. Wood. The man was acquitted, when it was proven that he struck the blow that killed Lewis, in self-defense. The incident took place shortly after midnight Saturday on Railroad street. Lewis, it was alleged, attacked Cleveland with a knife and the latter grabbed a piece of board from the step of a nearby house and struck his assailant a blow over the head. The blow felled Lewis, and he died about an hour later. Each customer is allowed to send copy not exceeding 3 lines, 2 inches wide.

The South Carolina bill provides that moving picture films showing as characters women of the white or Negro race cannot be displayed in theaters of the State used exclusively by the persons of the race other than that of the women characters in the films. The bill further has an addenda to the effect that it does not apply to theaters for whites which have galleries for Negroes. Under the addenda, such nauseating films as the Birth of a Nation, which carries portrayals of women of both races, is free, we presume, to continue its tour into South Carolina; for lo and behold, under the strict requirements of the substance of the bill, the Griffith feature would be unable to enter South Carolina.

ON TO PHILADELPHIA Mayor Kendrick, of Philedephia, has sent a personal invitation to President King of Liberia, to attend the Sesqui-centennial Exhibition, to be held under the auspices of The Sesqui-centennial Exhibition Association, in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia in 1926. For the benefit of those who may have overlooked this coming festival, it was provided for by the Pennsylvania Legislature on April 28, 1921. Subsequently, the Sixty-Seventh Congress of the United States, under H. R. Resolution No. 170, in celebration of the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, suggested that the President of the United States should invite the participation and cooperation of the States of the Union and the Nations of the World. Thus, the invitation extended to President King, of Liberia, gives color to the situation.

Pennsylvania has much to present in the way of an exhibition of the attainments of its Negro citizens. As far back as 1920, the U. S. Census gave Philadelphia a Negro population of 134,000 and upwards. Philadelphia now roundly assert that this population is now approaching the 200,000 mark. There is undoubtedly a reason for this. It must be admitted that executives and officials of the Keystone State, partly by sheer of good will and partly by pressure of the BRETHREN themselves, have seen to it that the citizens of Pennsylvania have an active participation in the affairs of its government. Under Dr. Ellen C. Potter, Director of the State Department of Welfare, effective work has been done to make comfortable and healthy the State's Negro citizens. Experts from our own ranks such as Forrester B. Washington, A. L. Manly, John T. Clark and others, have kept faithful watch upon the industrial and housing conditions which our Pennsylvania group has faced. Employment has been plentiful, and our race members have become thrifty, educated, and promotive of genuine progress in an atmosphere normally free from prejudice and full of political opportunities. The professions and businesses among our group have thrived in the Keystone State. It is to be ardently hoped that eminent colored ladies and gentlemen of this country as well as from over the seas will receive invitations from Mayor Kendrick to attend the coming Exposition. Our race is proud of Pennsylvania and of Philadelphia as to which it has a fulsome desire both to give and to receive worth and credit...

This was the last Association game of the season. The Dragons were fighting for second place honors in the Association and had tasted the Farmers' blood before. This caused them to put forth greater efforts and fight as they had never fought before. The score does not tell the story of the game because the Farmers refused to give up and fought back until the echoes of the final whistle had ended the game. Streater for A, and T. and "Bob" Kornegay were the outstanding fighters for the Tarheel bunch. These had fought desperately but the breaks were against them. Inaccuracy in shooting and the fast pace set by the Whirlwinds proved their undoing. Wheedle was, as usual, the star of the game, scoring 10 points, which Dragons. Hoyle was high scorer of the evening with 13 points, which was equal to the number made by the whole A. and T. team. Steptoe played the best game he has played this season, though he only scored four points. Perry and Warson were there on the defensive. Coach Johnson sent in substitutes, but this did not stop the scoring. The substitutes had seen the light and kept the Whirlwind pace. Patrick Walker, Brown, and Holland, like their teammates played a great game. The Whirlwinds covered them with glory, having lost but two Association games. They will probably rank second in the Association. CLAFLIN OPENS SEASON BY LOSING TO CHARLESTON ORANGEBURG, S. C., March 13—Before a large crowd today the Claflin Panthers lost the opening baseball game of the season to the Charleston Tigers by a score of 4 to 1. The Tigers, a professional team of Charleston made the first run in the second inning when Jackson, third baseman sent the pill to deep center for a home run. This rally was followed by two more runs, one made in the same inning and the other made in the third inning. After this rally the game settled in a pitcher's duel for neither pitcher allowed a single run until the eighth inning, when Claflin with two out, allowed a run to cross the home plate. In the last half of the ninth inning the game looked like a shutout for the Charleston aggregation, but right fielder Byrd of Claflin was able to reach first on a fast hit to deep short who on a wild throw <u>w</u> allowed Byrd to go as far as second. Byrd on the next play reached third base. Then it was for Taylor, Claflin's center fielder to send a sacrifice fly to score Byrd, thus ending what appeared a shut out, the score 4 to 1. Noise!

Warren Attorney General THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA THE NERVOUS WRECK by E.J.Rath The "Nervous Wreck," an eccentric young easterner, is driving Sally Norgan from her father's ranch to a station when they run out of gasoline. At the point of a gun the wreck takes five gallons from a loading car. Later Charlie McSween, foreman of a ranch along the route, hides the Wreck's car and forces Sally to act as week. Then they discover that Mc. Unwood, the owner of the ranch, was in the car which they held up. Sherriff, Bob Wells, Sally's fiance, is unwittingly searching the countryside for the "bandits" who held up Underwood. Chester Underwood, son of the owner, finds the hidden car and identifies it as being the one owned by the bandits who held them up. McSween denies knowing how the car came to be on the ranch, but is secret asks the Wreck for an explanation. The Wreck is telling the story of the hold-up. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Suppose, continued the Wreck, as he glared through his spectacles, that you happen to be attended with your wife out in the middle of a county that's so big there isn't way sense to it. Suppose you didn't have a drop of gas. Suppose somebody come along who had plenty of gas, and you offered in a decent manner to pay for a few gallons if they'd let you have it. And suppose a big hog set back in his seat and gave you the laugh and told you to take your car out of way, so he could drive on. And suppose you had to have that gas or stay there until God knows when. They?" His voice had shrilled itself to an edge and he was making gestures with both arms. "All right. I'm supposin'" said Curtsey. "Well, what would you do?" "Speaken hypothetical, you mean?" "Speaking any way you like," torched the Wreck. "I reckon," he drawled, "I'd try to get me some gas." The Wreck waved an arm to indicate that all doubts were resolved. "That's all there was to it," he said. "Mind, now," said Charley, cautiously. "I'm not sayin that I'd feel more to committin' unlawful acts." "Tin gasoline, you might say, is meetin' one of the demands of nature, and I reckon it can be justified by powerful arguments. But when it comes to takin' people's watches and jewelry and—" "They used" interrupted the Wreck. "I'm only repeatin' what was told the sheriff." "I say they lied." "I guess we're showin' all hands on the call," mused Charley. "I'm getting tired of all this tying," said the Wreck, eliding off the table. "I can stop it in three minutes." He was headed for the door when Sally detained him with a firm hand. "Henry, are you crazy?" "You stay right here. I don't care whether you're sore or not. You're not going near Mr Underwood." "Why don't he stick to the truth, then?" "I haven't the least idea. I don't particularly care. But you keep away from him." The Wreck shook himself loose from her grip and went back to the table. Charley McSween nodded his head. "There ain't any occasion to get excited," he said. "You might go up there and tell him he's a liar and bust him in his eye. But that wouldn't be no compensation for sittin' in jail over at the county seat, waitin' for 'em to give you the rest of your natural life." "I'm not going to stay here for the rest of my natural life," growled the Wreck. uck With This Deep One Try Your Luck Wi Try Your Luck With This Deep One By Walter R.

"I figure you goin' to need you and Mis" "Williams so long as the boss and his family are here" "How long is that?" Charley seemed to be calculating. "Not moren't a month, it ain't likely." Sally gasped "A month" she cried. "Why, we won't dream of it" "I'm sure sorry, ma am. But he most, always stays a month." "We've stayed longer now than we had any business to " "We're all creatures in the guild" hands of Providence," observed Charley "A month aint much in the lives of young folks." Sally was showing plan signs of alarm. She fell to clasping and unclasping her hands and moistening her lips, while her eyes blinked with bewilderment and consternation. Finally she began walking to and fro "I won't do it!" she exclaimed. "A month! Not another day, if I can help it. You haven't any business to keep us here. Do you think I'm going to stay here and be turned into a slave, cooking your meals and do 'SOMETIMES SHE GETS A LIT TLE NERVOUS SPELL: ing the kitchen work for a lot of able-bodied men who are too lazy to help themselves? Yes, and doing the housework, too I won't stand for it. Charley took interested, and so did the Wreck. did the wreck. "Just because I've been good-natured about it." stormed Sally. "is no reason why I'm going to let any body rub it in. I don't care what happens, I'm going to find out—" "The Wreck was patting her on the arm. "Sah. now he said. 'Go easy' She flung his hand aside, and turned on him with a look of amazement. "Henry Williams, are you a worm?" "That's all right." he said in a voice that tried to be soothing. "You're not going to go running yourself into trouble." "You mean to say you're going to submit?" she demanded. "There, now, you mustn't get excited." said the Wreck For an instant she was without speech. "Excited? You say that I'm excited? You? Why—why—" She sat in a chair and burst into hysterical laughter. The Wreck turned to Charley and shrugged his lips. "Sometimes she gets a little nervous spell," he explained. "She'll be all right in a minute or two." 28 Vicious sea fish. 29 Falshood. 30 Circle. 31 Fowls. 32 Higher. 33 Walking stick. 34 To lie up. 35 To clip off. 41 Outfit. 42 Analyze.

When Henry burses loose, you soothe him down. And when you bust loose, Henry jams his foot on the brakes. It sort of keeps you both steady and makes for a reasonable amount of peace and quiet. But we not going to stay a moor," said the Wreck. "Don't make any mistake about that." "No," said Sally. "We positively won't stay." "Well, maybe it won't be a month, ma'am. The family might take a notion to clear out in a couple of weeks." Sally and the Wreck shook their heads. They were calm again, but they had not changed their minds. "The main point," said Charley "is what im blazes can you do? You can drive, you can ride, you can three wheels, and anyhow, you're goin to get hopped on the minute you try. That's the practical side. Now, personally, I'm disposed to be reasonable. I ain't giving' any dorsetness to the habit of highway robbery Bein' awaid仁n myself, it may be I'm prejudiced, but that the way I feel. At the same time, I ain't sayin' but what there may be occasions when it's justifiable to make use of gasoline wherever it can be found hardest. That notion is the sentimental side. They sort of balance off, as near as I see it." "Get down to cases," advised the Wreck. "I'm comin to it. I'll put it brutal, maybe but I'm sincere, as always. I'm not going to let you young folks dig ginn out of here just because you feel restless. I've got a duty to my boss and a duty to myself. I ain't goin to say anything to him, mind. I've done considerable tyme up to now. Which is a sort of guarantee that I'll conform such other tyme as may be necessary. I've even gone so far as to get myself looked upon with suspicion. Set if you try bust in loose out of here and leave in; with no look, and so disgrace and take him fluffer with you as a sign of guilt, the whole durned temple is due to be pulled down sudden and ruthless." He eyed them both with great gravity "It may be Henry," he added "that when she comes down the foreman of this God-fearin' establishment is goin to be buried along with them that starts the wreckin' job. But she's comin down, just the same.

But to ally it was a prospect of unutterable dismay, and the Wreck was there to serve her. She should have been in Chicago before this Ma Morgan ought to be getting the first letters. In the absence of news, there would soon be panic at the Car M Dad Morgan would be beating the Morgans starting at Chicago or gunning for the Wreck or doing something else desperate and foolish. But there was a fluffer wheel to be found, and neither of them have even encountered a clue. They devoted part of the morning to searching for it and tried to be systematic about it.

Secretary Weeks tells the Congressional com-itter that he holds no grudge against Brigadier-General Mitchell for telling the truth, and that he has no thought of disciplining General Mitchell. That is welcome. The people would like to think that the truth is not kept from them by official threats. Science says the greatest battle of the human race is to be against insects and microscopic germs. Those tiny enemies do infinitely more harm than ever was done by all the wild beasts and poisonous reptiles that men have gradually conquered. Insects and plant insects destroy billions every year in crops and forests. And germs destroy millions of lives.

Be among the first to get one of the monoplanes that will "fly 140 miles an hour, and carry a useful load of 2,000 pounds. Such a machine, once he knows how to run it, should enable a young man of the right kind to earn 1,400 a year, and that empire $800 a week, would be a "useful load" to carry home each Saturday. For information write to Henry Ford, or better still, to Edsel Ford, Dearborn, Michigan. Mark this prediction: Within twenty years a million Americans that now ride in automobiles, labeled "Ford," will fly in airplanes also labeled Ford and go 100 miles on a gallon of gasoline and no tire wear. The Queen of Belgium bobbed her hair, and there is much excitement. Kings and Queens take up new ideas cautiously. The King of England still drives to the opening of Parliament in a gilded coach drawn by six or eight cream-colored horses. And he wears a crown on State occasions, although everybody knows that the crown has long been the property of the House of Commons. If Carlyle, creator of "Sartor Resartus," were here he would find deep meaning in the Queen's bobbed hair. al Home Beauty T nd Lighter ark Com M. H.

Manufacturers that produce, merchants that distribute and workers that depend for employment on generally prosperous conditions will be interested in one paragraph of a letter just received from Mr. James Simpson, president of Marshall Field & Company. Mr. Simpson, whose business far exceeds one hundred millions a year, writes: "Business for the year starts off very well with us, and the general feeling of confidence is developing with just enough conservatism to make me feel certain that we are entering upon a period of sound business development and activity." Mr. Simpson's opinion does not merely reflect the enormous retail business done by Marshall Field & Company in Chicago. The wholesale department of Marshall Field, biggest in the United States, reaches into every corner of the country, doing business with thousands of merchants. There is no better test of national conditions than the story told on the books of that gigantic firm. The duty of each citizen is to believe and say that prosperity is here, that it will remain and grow, and that this nation will realize to the full its extraordinary position and opportunities among the nations of the world.

Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the humiliate disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated or, as that was the only chance for me, I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try to be fore being operated or. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity I am. J. A. PAGE. 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond Va OTHER PEOPLE ```markdown ``` FACTS AND TRUTH IN EVERY STATEMENT.

I was cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by two bottles of L. J. Hayden's wonderful Herb Medicine, after suffering a long time with the dreadful disease. I was unable to move hand or foot, and after I had taken three doses of the medicine I was able to get out of my bed and walk across the floor, and only two bottles of the medicine has made me a perfectly well man is every respect. I cannot give Mr. L. Havilyn too much praise for what he has done for me. I have sent many other letters on this occasion, and also longer cured. My daughter was also cured of Rheumatism and Indigestion by L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicines at No. 220 W. Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I recommended Mr. L. J.
