Richmond Planet

This may be our last battle. We believe that it is the beginning of our final triumph. MAY 17, 1923 JOHN MITCHELL, 1R THE RICHMOND PLANET VOLUME XLIII, NO. 17 RICHMOND VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1926 PRICE, FIVE CENTS REV. DR. Z. D. LEWIS COLLAPSES IN PULPIT Able Divine Forced to Halt Sermon Sunday Morn. WOULD NOT APOLOGIZE--MEANT NO REFLECTION--PREACHING THE GOSPEL AS HANDED DOWN BY THE SCRIPTURES. His Condition Improved--Friends Rally to Assist Him--Taking Nourishments The Second Baptist Church was the scene of a near tragedy last Sunday morning when the able Rev. Dr. Z. D. Lewis, pastor, arose and stood at the sacred desk to make a preliminary statement relative to the resolution adopted at the last meeting of the church. He is reported to have said that in what he said upon the occasion of the services held on the Sunday morning previous that he meant no reflection up on the Deacon Board. When it came to apologizing for what he had said, he did not know that he would ever do so. MUST ABANDON IDEA OF WHITE SUPREMACY Elks Leave Remains of Member They Declare Order Was Not Recognized OVERCOME WITH EMOTION. It was then that he seemed to be overcome with emotion and he stood motionless. His wife, who had watched his condition rushed to him and he was led to a seat, where he collapsed. Dr. M. B. Jones, who was in the audience administered to him and a hurry call was sent for a private ambulance and he was removed to his home at 202 East Leigh Street. He was kept due to sedative administered hypodermically by the physician. Later he rallied and was able to swakw. He has since been able to speak and he has made efforts to rise from the bed. WILL RECOVER Providing there is no other stroke, he will recover. The cause of the trouble is due to the physical condition of the pastor, incident to a previous stroke (which he suffered many years ago. He has been able to walk, but his left arm has been of little service. He could move it. He is able now to move both of these limbs. Certain deacons considered the idea that the church was being retarded by the inability of the pastor to discharge the full duties of his office. THE CAUSE OF THE AGITATION. They decided to settle the matter by retiring him upon a pension. The offer was $75.00 per month. They tried to convince him that they were dissious of helping him, but he was of the opinion that certain members of the Deacon Board were perplexed by other motives and he opposed them. It was in practical definition of their attitude that they took offense and forced through the reading of the proceedings of the Deacon Board to show that their purpose had been to conserve the strength of the pastor and prolong his life. RESENTED THE IMPLICATION. The church seemed to have been convinced of this, for when Deacon John T. Taylor offered the motion that Rev. Dr. Lewis be required to apologize to the Deacon Board in open services on the next Sunday morning, the high-spirited, divine observed the implication and contrary to a previous report, is quoted as saying that he would never do it. He took the position that in defining the duties of the deacons in his sermon, he was simply exercising the authority given by the Scriptures and for which there could be no apology. He contented himself with saying that he meant no rejection upon the Deacon Board. Then the temporary stroke came. At the last church meeting the church evidently sympathized with him for soon thereafter a residence was unanimously adopted, asking him to report at the next meeting of the body just what he wanted the church to do. As the manner now stands no action in this matter is expected to be taken for some time. It is essentially necessary that the pastor enjoy repose for the time being and further agitation of this matter would be regarded as seriously endangering his life and all parties discuss any other attitude than that to help him and to benefit the Second Baptist Church MEN'S DAY AT THIRD STREET BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH Sunday, March 14th is Men's Day a Third Street. The public is invited to the following: At 11 A. M. Rev. James S.

Member of British Parliament Says All Men Equal PREFONDERANCE OF NUMBER BOUND TO WIN FOR THE DARKER RACES The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. 69 Fifth Avenue, has received from England clippings of an article published in English newspapers by the Right Honorable Philip Snowden. Member of Parliament, challenging world domination by white people, and asserting that the idea of white supremacy is having to be abandoned. He writes in part: "The old idea of the right of a people with a higher civilization and with a more advanced economic development to dominate the rest of the world will have to be frankly abandoned. It is being abandoned. The constitution of the League of Nations is an outstanding instance of that fact. Regardless of color race and size, nations are admitted to the League on terms of equality. "If it were sought, to maintain the domination of the white races over the colored by force the effort would be bound to fail in the long run. It is just a question of numbers. It is, for instance, seldom realized that six out of every seven people in the British Empire are colored. "If the principle of 'numbers' or 'counting heads' is accepted as the form of government, then there is no escaping from the fact, unattainable as it may be to "the white races that in international government the future of the world rests with the colored races." Mr. Snowden asserts that the outcome of the readjustment depends on the attitude taken by the white races, that there need not be violence and an array of white against colored, if due respect is given to the aspirations and opportunities of all peoples. "This grave problem," concludes Mr. Snowden, "with its possible menace will be solved if it be recognized that 'all men are equal born'; and 'hat, just as Lincoln said that no man was ever good enough to govern another without his consent, so no race has the right to condemn another race to a position of per manent inferiority."

On his arrival to the home, by previous arrangement Messrs. John R. Cogbill, Charles H. Robinson, Charles H. Greene and Leicester Pleasants, some of his early graduates, pushed to the car, and so on as he alighted seized him and escorted him into the house, while Nesdames Kate Hoimes, Susie H. Robinson and Miss Martha A. Fowlkes, other graduates escorted Mrs. Blackwell. As they entered the hall the guest stood and sang, "Auld Lang Syne" as they were escorted down the hall through the drawing room into the parlor; at the conclusion of which Dr. W. L. Ransome offered prayer. The guest then sang, "Praise Him, Jehus Our Blessed Redeemer." All being seated Miss Pauline W. Wynder deftly played a march air, to which Master Anthony Binga, in royal page attire marched in bearing on a silver platter a large and beautiful birthday cake, lighted by forty candles. Mrs. Etaa Moon Brown, of Petersburg, had been selected to make the presentation. She was sick in bed, but sent her address and it was read by her classmate, Mary M.

The funeral of Joseph Harrison Farrar took place last Monday afternoon at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, with Funeral Director A. D. Price, Jr. officiating. The services were impressive. Rev. W. H. Stokes. Ph. D. delivered the eulogy. The casket was a handsome silver ironized state. The Richmond Athletic and Social Club was out. Before proceeding to the house it seems that Exalted Ruler George L. Branch of Capital City Lodge, No. 11 had had a conference with the family. He had a delegation present at the house and he found out that all the pall-bearers had been previously selected, leaving no place for the members of Capital City Lodge. No. 11, of which lodge young Farrar was a member, his brother-in-law being Grand, Exalted Ruler of the Elks. THE WISHES OF THE FAMILY. Upon further enquiry he was informed that what had been done was in accordance with the wishes of the family. Some of the members of the lodge were in favor of proceeding to the cemetery, but the majority ruled that the proper procedure was to leave the prosecution at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, as much as the lodge was not accorded representation and given charge of the body. This was done and no funeral ceremony over their departed brother was performed at the grave in Evergreen Cemetery. Mrs. J. Finley Wilson was present to attend the funeral of her brother It was afterwards explained that the mum's banding was due to having previously invited certain friends to act as palpit hearers. Richmond Athletic and Social Club leaders regretted the affair. In Memoriam. MINOR—In loving remembrance of our dear brother and uncle, Charles Minor, who departed this life one year afo.

WILLIAM M. JACKDINE, wife of the secretary of agriculture, is the only cabinet lady—or any other lady excepting only the present mistress of the White House—who's had the honor of going out to dinner with President Coolidge as her escort. President and Mrs. Coolidge were invited to dine with Attorney General and Mrs. John Garibaldi Sargent, in the presidential suite at the New Willard. They accepted. It was one of the regular cabinet dinners, which the members of his official family are privileged (and an expensive privilege) to give to the president. Needed Some One President Coolidge had had a cold but was better. In the meantime, however, Mrs. Coolidge had caught it. At the last minute she couldn't go. The president needed someone to take with him. He consulted the sharks on presidential etiquette who abound around the White House. They cited precedents from the time of President McKinley. Mrs. McKinley was an invalid. Her husband frequently asked the wives of members of his cabinet to accompany him to social functions—so the etiquette sharks said. President Coolidge glanced around him for an available cabinet member's wife. Mrs. Jardine had an open date that evening. Would she go with him to dine with the Sargents? Sure she would.

PROF, BLACKWELL PROF, BLACKWELL Washington. The bringing in of the cake and the address gave Prof. Blackwell his first intelligence of the real meaning of the celebration, it being a week later than the date of his real birthday. The effect was telling and grand and before he could speak the following program was given: First, Mr. John R. Cogbill and Mr. Henry E. Harris portrayed two old classmates going along the highway entered reching "Just Twenty Years Ago." The recitation was both pathetic and amusing. Mr. Cogbill taking the principal part and Mr. Harris assenting to what he said. As they passed out, Miss M. E. Washington sang "Memores" to the delight of all. Then Mr. W. L. Deane, Stats clan for the occupation made an interesting report of the old school, reading many bits of pleasant history. From his report it was learned that in nearly every known profession, trade and vocation the members of the Alumni Association could be found, and that they were distributed in twenty-three States, many of whom when informed of this method of giving honor to their old Principal readily responded. Among the number the following names were read: Mrs. Robena E. Ellott, Boston, Mass; Mrs. Rosa O. Knight, Woburn, Mass; Mrs. Maud W. Smith, Providence, R. I.; Mrs. Laura H. Irving and Mrs. Susie Mo Neal, Philadelphia, Pa; Mrs. Eina Brown and Mrs. Hate Carer, Petersburg, Va.; Mr. John W. Waaker, Alentown, Pa.; Mr. C. Henry Jones Washington, D. C.; Mr. Richard T. Morris, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Mr. Alexander Morris, Minneapolis, Mn. George W. Blackwel, Esq, Chicago, III; Rev. T. D. Ackina D. D., Philadelphia, Pa; and Dr Bernaro N. Hatcher, B&amet, Md. At the close of this report the following children entered carrying pots of flowers, pink and white carnations, and wreaths of pink roses: 'adeline Pryor' Sarah M. and Jo'n Wynder, Richard and Wihelma Fitzgerald, Hilma Boden, Heyard and Grace 'Blackwell' Ominie Ogblitt, Irma Jones and Anthony Binga. The first speaker 'informed Prof. Blackwell that they represented his intellectua' grandchildren. All recited verses written for the occasion and at the close presented Prof. and Mrs. Blackwell with flowers, 'eaving also a tribute of flowers for his mother. Circled art stillly were the flowers they left around the couple. The children then sang as they marched out. Miss Ruth Morris, in a pretty graduation gown and carrying her diploma from the old Manchester High School sang, "Where My Caravan Has Rested." Mrs. Kate Ho'mex also represented graduation and roasted "Give the World the Best. You Have, Etc." Mrs. Florence Cogbill represented Home Makers She made their hearts swell with pride Mrs Susie H. Robinson represented the Teachers, by conducting a rectaction in American history, by a class selected from among the o'd students. Appropriately, a very familiar character was chosen by the teacher and the pupils made a soundid showing It was the life of Pref. J. H. Blackwell. It was a rare treat to all who heard the rectaction. A great deal of information was given, which was helpful and interesting. Miss Martha A Fowlkes represented the Stenographers and Typists. Her name was an excellent one and was enjoyed by all. Dr. T. W. Nelson was selected to represent the Physicians. He was detained on a case and did not arrive in time to speak. Dr J. H. Blackwell, Jr. was asked to take his place, which he did, accompanied by Mrs. Nannie K. Howlett, a Trained Nurse, both equipped as if on a case and THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA S No, this is not a new kind of horn. It's just a leghorn. When Ariel Hogee, Los Angeles, Calif., visited a friend in Long Beach recently he parked his car near the chicken coop. "He found this prize leghorn "riding the bumper." made a pleasing picture: Dr. Blackwell's speech was excellent and was considered a splendid tribute. Mr. Henry E. Harris next represented Insurance and Banking. His speech was interesting and pointed. He was highly commended for it. Both the representatives of the Ministry and Law were absent on account of sickness and their numbers were passed. Miss Wynder then played a beautiful instrumental golo. Mrs. Alberta J. Stephenson afterwards represented Music and in her graceful style played softly "Silver Threads Among the Gold." At the conclusion of 'h's Master Anthony Binga, stf'd attired as a royal page, entered bringing a beautiful sterling silver center piece, having carved thereon the inscription: "1891—1910. The Manchester Public High School to Prof. J. H. Blackwel. Ph. D. We will strive to banish ignorance to suppress prejudice and to increase good all to all men." Mr. C. H Greene met the page in front of Prof. Blackwell. The soft music, the thoughtful countenance of the surprised and honored guest. Prof. Blackwen; the sequence of Mr. Greene and the beauty of the page holding the g'ft, the beautiful silver center piece made a 'lasting impression on pm.' present. Then came the response Prof. Blackwell rose to express his gratitude for so great a surprise. His remarks were very feeling and touching, saying: fed 'o know that you have thought work for you worthy of this tribute. I cannot accept it without seeing as in a vision my teacher, who trained me and made this hour possible. I refer 'o none other than the sainted and revered Dr A. B'nga, Jr." He also recounted many interesting face's relative to his record as Principal, and the joy he had received in his work for the past thirty years in the school room. Concluding he said: "I am lost for words to express to you my gratfulness for this tribute of respect you tender me tonight. I sheerely thank you. After he spoke, Mrs. Blackwell thanked the Alumni in behalf of the whole Backwell family for the honor bestowed upon her husband. Others who spoke were Dr. W. H. Hughes, Dr. W. L. Ransome, Mrs. Mary Binga and Mrs. Elizabeth Harris. After which refreshment's were served. Every heart seemed to have been filled to overflowing with joy. The home was beautiful decorated by Mrs. Binga, Mrs. Harriet Harris and Mrs. Charlotte Blackwell. The color scheme of the room and the children was pink and green signifying youth and fidelity. Too much credit cannot be given Mrs. Cora W. Wynder, who started the movement and made such a success. The whole affair was a well deserved tribute to Prof. Black work in recognition of his work as Principal of the High School of South Richmond, and his graduates felt it a great pleasure to have the opportunity to do him "his honor and express their gratitude.

Hibbard, Chicago, noted sculptor, is working on a statue of Champ Clark which is to be erected on completion at Bowling Green Mo. home town of Champ Clark. MY husband was a sailor and he always told me about the places he would like to take me. He's been dead 16 years and I'm setting out to see them for self. Those were the words of Mrs. Lilly Hockins St. Paul, Minn., when she arrived in Fort Worth, Tex. on her journey to see an oil well. Applied for Work She is 76 years old and has the wanderlust Immediately upon arriving in Port Worth, Mrs. Hogkins applied for work "First I want a job be cause I will not apply to charity and then I want to see an oil well," she said. This aged woman has close cut hair which she says has been boobed since she was 8 years old. Tramping has been reduced to a minimum of expense by the almost oogogenarian who arrived in Port Worth on a train and has a round-trip ticket. She didn't waste any money on dining cars for in a long arm bag she carried coffee, tea, bread and sugar. In her hand she carried a quart pail. Doesn't Cost Much "I keep my coffee ground fine so when I buy a little hot water on the train and pour it on the coffee in this bucket. I have a meal and it don't cost me much," she explained. Miss M. Gladys Pittenger, secretary of the Welfare Association at Fort Worth, is going to play hostess to the eager traveler who all her life has wanted to go places and has only seen a few of her eyes of her sailor husband who always told her he would like to take her, but never could.

A New Way to End DangerousCough The most stubborn cough is relieved with the first dose, and is very often broken up entirely in 24 hours by a new method based on the famous Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs. Here is the method: You simply take one teaspoonful and hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it. The prescription has a double action. It not only soothes and heals soreness and irritation, but also loosens and smooths the phlegm and congestion which are the direct cause of the coughing. So with the removed, the sevestest cough usually disappears quickly. Dr. King's New Discovery for coughs, chest colds, bronchitis, spasmodic croup, etc. Fine for children, too—no harmful drugs. Very economical, as the dose is only one teaspoonful. At all good drugs. Ask for DR.KING'S NEW DISCOVERY FOR COUGHS Have The PLANET Delivered to You. Only $2 per Year.

ADVERTISING PAYS. NO 100% MEN OR WOMEN. BON STOP OCEAN TO OCEAN. Latest scientific statement concerning this universe, in which we are less than microbes, and the earth less than a grain of dust, startles you. Our sun, a million times as big as this earth, is only a speak in what man have called "the universe," which contains endless millions of suns, some a million times bigger than ours. It's hard enough to think of such a universe as that. And now the wise Dr. Hubble, of Mt. Wilson Observatory, tells the California Institute of Technology that a million "universes" such as ours are visible at horrible distances from the earth. Examine an atom, and you find a central body around which revolve other bodies as the planets revolve around our sun. These electrons revolve around the nucleus billions of times in a second. Atoms, of which you could have millions in one corner of your eye without noticing them, are small solar systems. Our sun and its planets constitute one atom in our universe. That universe in turn is one atom in the entire universe. Where in that overwhelming space are the heavens to which we look forward and the other place that we dread? Leaving this earth in a straight line, traveling at the speed of Ohov! The Prince The Prince of Wales, credited giving bet in his tumbling act fro has a real national rival—now that deat, has taken up boxing at Amh nursing a rather "ouchy" nose and in a sling—the former having lost journey and the latter from a bad Knows Our Friends AUTOCASTER Instinctively, we all like the fellow who knows our friends. On that basis we are all going to like Paul Robinson because, starting this week, he is every week going to picture for us the trials and human weaknesses of our friends right here in this community in his new comic strip, "The Purdys." It is just an average American home—showing pa, ma, grandpop, daughter and the kid brother. It's no lap-stick. Instead, real human interest situations: Read "The Purdys" every week in this paper. light, 186,000 miles a second, it would take ya one hundred million years to get beyond the telescopic maze of the universe. No wonder it says in the Bible, "In my Father's house are many mansions." With common sense Secretary Davis says to the Countess Cathcart, "Come on in." Strong-minded American women were indignant because Lord Craven was admitted here without question, whereas the Countess Cathcart was shut out. These were the two whose oopment shocked our pure authorities. The double-sex standard proved too much for our clean-minded, strong-minded women. Observe the power of advertising even when it isn't very good advertising. The Countess lands from Ellis Island with a contract to appear on the stage at a high salary. She wouldn't have got that without the assistance of Uncle Sam. Professor Raber tells the American Association for Advancement of Science that, "Viewed from the sex angle there are no one arm spread per cent men or women." The sex of the human race is "primarily determined by the chromosome content of the egg cell." With complete respect for Professor Raber, after inspecting the Parisian and American divorce court news, you think those egg cells have done well enough, from the days of Mrs. Potiphar to these modern days. An Englishman has just flown from London to Cape Town, South Africa, nearly 9,000 miles, in ninety hours. At the same rate, the New York to San Francisco, or Seattle, trip would take about thirty hours—from New York to Chicago, less than ten hours. That speed will be doubled and not stop flights from ocean to ocean will be made within twenty years! Washington authorities, by President Coolidge's order, of course, have closed the Mexican border between San Diego and the assorted dives of Tia Juana at 6 p.m. The daylight hours are not the best for dives, and the dive inhabitants are leaving. Tia Juana owners of gambling houses and similar resorts, a majority of them United States citizens, by the way, position President Coolidge to cancel his 6 p.m. order. To that President Coolidge will turn a very cold Vermont eel. What's like! John with being England's best advert- nator galloping steeple-chase horses, John Coolidge, son of the Prest- rst college. Right now John is the Prince is carrying his left arm a three round battle in a boxing spill—his thirteenth fall in a race. Guess What's in the Envelope! AUTOCASTER President Coolidge knows and so does Miss K.A. Shea, the bearer, it's the chief executive's salary. She has been personally delivering it to the White House each month for the past ten years. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page by John Joseph Opinion, M.D. SLEEP It has been said that sleep causes more nerve-disorders than all the drugs prescribed by science, so which statement most educated physicians will largely misunderline. Normal sleep is both preventive and curative for distressing states of the nervous system. Drug sleep is never natural—nor is the stupor caused by over-feeding. For best effects, sleep should be indulged at night. Observe the new-born babe who sleeps meet of his time, except when aroused to take enrichment; he is building a nervous system for many years of active service. His food contains the necessary ingredients, ready-prepared for his appropriation; being too feeble to take exercise, his sole business and occupation are the building of the rudimental nerves along with the "temple" in which they are comfortably housed. Sleep is the ideal condition wherein Nature may accomplish her wonderful ends. Your wakeful peevish, restless babe is going wrong—and will develop into a nervous, irritable, unhappy and defective youth, unless his course is corrected by the capable nurse or physician in charge. The adult is, in great measure, subject to the same physiologic law. Sleep is the faithful chaperon of the nervous system, exerting her vigilance as long during life as her requirements are respected. Her approach is gentle—her touch calm. And, what more delightful than her panorama of bewitching dreams? She is the guardian angel of the voyager on the sea of strenuous effort. To ignore her wily and repetitive is to be forsaken by her—in which event, the penalty is sure, for only the beaded knots and the tear of patience can induce her filtering return. AVIDCASTER 'Aldin Hazen, of Chardon, Ohio, owns the oldest apple in the world. It was given to his wife by Sheridan Bull upon his return from the Civil War. Hazen has preserved the apple for 52 years by sticking cloves into it. AUGUSTA When Mrs. B. M. Halbert received news of her favorite girl daughter's illness she charmed an neerplans and flew from San Angelo, Texas, to the bedside of the sick child in Decatur, Ill. The trip was made dangerous by storms and darkness but when action brought the flight she said she was "not a fraud." The One who Forgot By RUBY M. AYRES BEGIN HERE TODAY PETER LYSTER, wounded in bat- tle on the Western Front, has lost his life upon returning home, to recrègne. NAN MARRABY, the girl to whom he became engaged before he met France. Nan has returned here from London due to the death of her stepmother. She is informed by her friend, JOAN ENDICOTT, that Peter will leave in a small village near her home to the estate of the widowed sister of LIEUT. JOHN ARNOTT, a fellow officer, also home on leave due to injury, Arnott, who is falling in love with him. He called on and rejoined Peter on the road nearby when they meet in the ECONOMY, who claims to be a friend of Peter. He can recognise him and explains his prelicament. Sefton is a money man. He apparently eager to know how he has him forgotten, as he is leaving he again turns to Peter. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "MISS MARRABY told me you were horrs." "Did she?" Peter knit his brows. "Odd that you should know her, too," he said, rather constrained. "She's a friend of Arnott's, you know—seems rather a nice sort of girl." Sefton stared; for a moment he thought he could not have heard aright. A nice sort of girl! And only a few months ago Peter and Nan Marraby had been engaged! For the moment he could think of nothing to say—then all at once the truth flashed across his mind. If Peter had so completely forgotten him—Sefton he must also have forgotted Nan Marraby. Was this, then, the meaning of that little tremble in her voice when she had asked him never to speak of her to Lyster? Sefton called at the Marraby's the following afternoon; as he stood waiting at the door, which was open to admit the fresh spring air, Nan crossed the hall. She wore a big overall, and her sleeves were rolled up, showing her firm white arms. She stopped short when she saw Sefton in the doorway. "I suppose I may as well admit that I'm fairly caught," she said. She did not offer her hand to Sefton, but he took it and pressed her fingers warmly. "You look the ideal Englishwoman," he said. Nan shook her head. "If you mean by that that I look domesticated, you're quite wreag," she told him airily. "I hate housekeeping and baking, and dusting, and all those sort of goody-goody jobs." He found himself very curious concerning this girl. After what Lyster had told him day after day it seemed quite likely that those were hidden tragedy between them, of which Nan would never speak, and of which Peter was not aware. It was largely curiosity on the subject which had forced his visit today. "You are not going to send me away, are you?" he asked her, anxiously. She had not asked him to come in, and there was a sort of stiffness in her bearing that seemed to suggest that he should cut his visit short. "Certainly—do come in," she said, but her words were not quite cordial. "You want to see father, I suppose?" Someton met her eyes smiling. "No, not particularly," he said. "Why?" There was a sort of amniosity in her regard. "You came to see him yesterday," she said, "and you must have known that I was his daughter, but you never told me that you knew him." She changed color a little. "Father and I are business people." a. "nances that is all," he said. b. "they have told me, all the same," she said, "they could have been a natural thing to do. However —please come in." She purposely led him into the + Arthur Bayless, Los Angeles, Caitr, recently won the championship horses for eating onions. In a contest he ate 10 pounds in as many minutes. kitchen; she was not going to put herself out in the least for this man. "Miss Marraby, why don't you like me?" A little flush flickered into Nan's pale cheeks. "How do you know that I don't like you?" she asked. He shrugged his shoulders. "I remember suspecting it that first I ever saw you—with Lyster then that he went to France. I thought then that he shape it was because I was making an escape third. But, if you remember, it was Peter who insisted that I join you." Nan remembered it all perfectly, and her heart gave a little throb of pain. Peter had excused himself to her afterwards. "It wasn't that I wanted the man," he said, in his careless way. "I'd much rather have had you to myself. R. J. SCOOP "I told you the man was shamming to get rid of a woman of whom he was tired." But it seemed the only decent thing to do to ask him. "By the way," Sefton went on, not giving her time to answer him, "speaking of Lyster, I met him in the lane yesterday." "Did you?" Nans' voice was unconcerned. She put up her arms and began unbuttoning the blue overall. "I knew that he was staying here—with the Arnotts," she added. "I thought Lyster looked ill." Sefton was saying behind her. "Jolly hard luck, isn't it?" "Being wounded—yes," said Nan. Her voice was like steel. She was praying desperately that somebody would come in to interrupt this tete-a-tete. The little maid had gone upstairs to dress after her day's work. Mr. Marraby was shut in his room. She didn't mean being wounded." Sefton said deliberately. "In fact, I didn't know that he had been—I thought it was just shock." "Oh," he was wounded; oh, yes, he was wounded." Nan said. Her voice sounded jerky. "I believe he was wounded in the shoulder," she said again. "He didn't tell me that; he merely said that he had had a bad shock, and as a result he—well—I understood him to say that he had lost his memory." Nan did not answer; she felt sure that there was some underlying motive for this questioning; she shut the oven door with a slam and turned. "I believe there have been many PEN POINTERS While you're kicking about the weather today, think about the kind of weather you'll be kicking about six months from now. Girls used to have "pretty ankles." Now we remark about their "pretty knees." The man with big ears who used to be laughed at now is envied by the radio fan. The inventor of the submarine must have been a deep thinker. The radio, no matter how worthless, is a sound investment. Some couples would make up if they could remember what they quarrelled about. --- cases like that, haven't there?" she said. "Weren't you telling me of one the other day when we came down in the train together?" "But that was not a genuine one," Sefton reminded her. "If you remember, I told you that the man was shamming—to get rid of a woman of whom he was tired." "So you did." Nan laughed constrainedly. "How queer! Perhaps Mr. Lyster is doing the same thing." she added flippantly. She hardly knew what she was saying—she met Sefton's eyes desperately. For a moment there was a little silence, then he said: "I-wonder!" There was a short pause between the two words. Nan turned sharply away; she felt as if she could have struck him; she put up her hand almost unconsciously and felt for Peter's ring which she wore beneath her frock. "That's not a very polite thing to say to me, is it?" she asked; she was surprised at her own calmness. "You know that I was once engaged to Mr. Lyster. Fortunately, our engagement was broken off before this happened," she added. It was a deliberate lie, but she felt as if she must say something to protect Peter. "I hate this man," she was saying in her heart. "I hate him, and I don't know why. I should like to tell him that I have him, but I'm afraid to—I wonder why I am afraid to?" Sefton was apologizing hurriedly. "I give you my word that such a thought never crossed my mind," he said. "If I said anything to lead you to suppose so, it was quite unconsciously. I assure you, Miss Marraby—" "Here are the bows," said Nan. There was unutterable relief in her voice; she turned eagerly as the door burst open and the three boys preciated themselves into the kitchen. They stopped short when they saw a stranger there. Nan went forward. "Say 'how-do-you-do' to this gentleman, boys—are you clean enough to shake hands?' She seized Buster, who was nearest to her, and uncurled the fingers which he had promptly put behind his back. "Black!" she said, tragically, "Boys, whatever do you do with yourselves to get into such a mess?" Nobody answered. "If you'll excuse us for a moment," Nan said to Sethon, "I'H go and make a presentable. Go into the schoolroom and tell you? We'll be down in a moment." She bustled the boys upstairs, and the last Sethon saw of the little group was Nan's slim figure with two arms round her waist as they disappeared around a bend in the staircase. As soon as they were safely in the bathroom the temporarily silenced tongues began to wag. "Is he going to stay to tea?" "Going to stay to tea?" "To teat?" Man said "Yes." She scrubbed away the grimy face. "Nice objects he must have thought you all. You're all to shake hands and say 'How-do-you-do' properly when you get downstairs." "It's the man who hit us with his whip," Jim said darkly. "I shan't shake hands with him." "Hit you with the whip! What-ever do you mean? He's Mr. Sefton, and a very nice gentleman." She felt obliged to say so, because it was the last thing she thought. "He's with his whip," Jim maintained doggyly, "to tell you about him—he was on a horse." Nan knit her brows; she remembered now that the boys had come in a day or two previous, full of righteous wrath because a man on horseback had lashed at them with his whip for running across the road dangerously near to his horse's feet. Claudie had been crying, too—and Claudie was Nan's favorite. "Oh, yeah yeah!" she asked. Three shaggy heads nodded a solemn affirmative.

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 have being operated on. 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 sea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel.
