In the satisfaction over the success of their arms in the Rift, after a costly struggle of more than a year, the French have paid tribute to the notable services rendered by the 10,000 negro troops sent to help conquer Abd-al Krim. The "History of the First Regiment of Senegalese Riflemen," just issued by the French Army, relates in colorful and dramatic fashion some of the performances of the African soldiers. Among the most striking of these recitals is that of the losing fight made by two young French officers and their negro troops in defense of a besieged blockhouse at Beni-Derkoul. Captain Pietri thus describes the struggle: "A young graduate of St. Cyr, Second Lieutenant Lapeyre, with bravery and southern fierceness, held the siege since April 15 with Sergeant Bovardi and forty Senegalese riflemen. Resupplied on May 3 with food and munitions, they were once more surrounded in the narrow and fatal circle that was not again to be broken. On June 14, at 4 o'clock, after having repulsed with rifles continual attacks, Lapeyre signalled: 'Tower taken; fire upon it.' The post's situation was then desperate. The enemy in considerable's numbers was already within the fortifications, the machine guns would not work, and the grenades were exhausted. Died With His Men. "Deciding that his post was lost, and not counting upon any human aid, Lapeyre prepared to destroy the blockhouse and bury in its ruins himself and the garrison as soon as the enemy had penetrated to the interior. At 7:10 o'clock, in the red light of the setting sun, a great column of smoke rose from Beni-Derkoul. Violent and repeated explosions resounded. Lapeyre, putting into execution his resolution taken on May 13, had died with his men. "A great silence now reigned over Beni-Derkoul. Above, in the sky, the column of smoke, last vestige of the tragedy, rose and melted slowly into the calm air of the evening. The east took on fantastic colors of gray and blue, while in the west the sun disappeared in a sea of fire; and it seemed that Morocco had again outdone itself that night, in the magic splendor of its sunsets, to drape in a marvelous purple and golden coffin the heroes who had just died." Citation Well Won. An army citation tells of the exploit of a Senegalese rifleman named Mongongo, on guard in a blockhouse attacked by the Riffians. He was wounded during the bombardment. Seeing that the enemy had begun to make his way inside the walls, he took his stand at a breach made by the besieging artillery and fought off the followers of Abd-el Krim. But the garrison was too small to protect all the exposed points. So Mongongo sounded the charge and led a brisk counter-attack. He thus saved the tower and, according to the citation, also the post at Aoulai. "Ten thousand black troops were sent into the Riff," said Stephane Lauzanne. "They were sent there badly trained, inadequately instructed, ignorant of the task set before them. They were divided and scattered all along the line. Here there were thirty, there a hundred, at another place sometimes ten. "I should like to see printed thousands of copies of The Golden Book of the Blacks, to be placed in the hands of the children in all the schools of France. And on July 14, if there is a procession to the tomb under the Arc de Triomphe, at the head of the troops there should march a battalion of Senegalese. Having undergone the hardship, it would be but just that the blacks should share the honor. The Unknown Soldier, from the bottom of his glorious sepulchre, would himself ask that there pass before him, first of all, the Gorgetten Soldiers." ARMED MADMAN SHOOTS DOWN NINE PEOPLE Crazed Negro, With Rifle and Pistols, Amuck in Baltimore. Madman's Caualty List. Was Insane Patient. BALTIMORE, June 28—Suddenly crazed, with a rifle and two revolvers in his hands, Vance Lee, 35-year-old negro, shot down nine persons in Northwest Baltimore in a space of twenty minutes today before he died with twelve police bullets in his body. Three of his victims, two of them policemen and the other a 7-year-old negro girl, are near death. In the others all more or less serious hurt. Three were policemen and the rest were bystanders. The injured are: Patrolman Webster Schuman, shot in mouth, may die. He is credited with firing the shot, after he was wounded, had first stopped the demented man. Police Clerk Thomas Dillon, shot in head, may die. Seven-year-old Mildred Duncan, negro, shot in head, may die. Patrolman Ignatius Benesch, shot in head and hip, condition serious. Police Chauffeur Leroy Lentz, shot in ankle. Patrolman John R. Collins, shot in hand. Dr. William Kamurer, shot in leg. Arthur Wells, negro, shot in neck. Calvin Howard, negro, shot in leg. Having sent the entire neighborhood in the vicinity of Argyle and Lafayette Avenues to cover, and with his nine victims ranged about him in the street or crumpled into areaways, Lee backed at bay against a plate glass window, with a bullet wound in his shoulder. A concerted fire from the wounded men on the ground and from the guns of Albert Ludwig and Harry Bates, the only policemen of the seven who had answered riot calls still on their feet, dropped him to the sidewalk dead. A special riot squad which arrived a few minutes later gathered up the wounded. Lee was released from the insane ward at City Hospital a year ago. Former High Constable William H.

DO YOU KNOW THEM? Chief of Police R. B. Jordan has received the following enquiry: To the Colored Churches of Richmond: Can you tell me anything about Elizabeth James and Rudolphus Jackson? I left Richmond, when a child and have been back there once since. My father's name was John Jackson and my mother's name was Lucy Jackson. My father belonged to Sam Miles, who ran a tobacco factory. My name was Anna Jackson. Any information will be thankfully received. ANNA IRBY. Louisville, Ga. RICHMOND VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1926 ATTORNEY W. F. DENNY AND FAMILY ATTORNEY AND MRS.

Address. RUFUS CARR, 2316 E. 55th Street, Cleveland, Ohio. FIFTH ST. BAPTIST CHURCH The members of the Fifth Street Baptist Church will enter the new church edifice tomorrow, under the leadership of Dr. T. J. King. A big rally is scheduled and it is hoped to raise a large sum of money incident to a payment upon the cost of this structure, which will exceed $125,000 in cost. It is said to be the finest colored church building in the city. Rev. Dr. King has not indicated as to what course he will pursue in the matter of the call to the Ebenezer Baptist Church of Pittsburgh. He receives here a larger salary than any other colored pastor in Richmond. The call to Pittsburgh carries with it, however, a much larger salary and the members here have despaired in the effort to match this great offer from that progressive congregation. It is reported that he will receive approximately $5,000 per year. Fifth Street Baptist Church has been paying $260, per month or $3,120 per year. With the additional expense incident to the erection of the new church, the members have a most embarrassing situation to meet. Rev. Dr. King knows how to raise money by systematic effort. Last Sunday morning he preached from Mark 1:35. It indicates that he is praying. The congregation of the Mount Moriah Baptist Church will enter their new structure on First Street on the second Sunday in July. The basement has about been completed. The structure is in the ground, so to speak, and will be until enough money is lifted to carry the structure to the roof and complete it. Rev. R. V. Peyton, of Montclair, N. J., is expected to accept the pastorate here and to rally the members to complete the work begun by Rev. Dr. White. In the meantime, Rev. Dr. A. W. Brown, of the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church, is rallying his forces by his oratorical power. Rufus McOree, husband of Mrs. Mabel McCree, 1229 Bailey Street, Harrisburg, Pa., died there Tuesday night at 8 o'clock after a protracted illness. Mrs. Julia A. Dawson and Mrs. Susaanna Holmes Chavers left here to attend the funeral. The widow is the sister to Dr. John H. Holmes, of Winchester, Kv. DR.

The members and friends of the churches, pastored by the two brethren, are requested to be present tomorrow at 11:30 A. M. Come early and get a good seat. Communion 3:30 P. M. at Calvary. The writer and a large number of church-going people in our community feel very proud to receive the intelligence that the Union Level Baptist Church has extended a call to Rev. Ben. Ruffin as pastor of the church. We are hoping that he will accept the same. The anniversary services of the pastor, Rev. W. L. Tuck, and the Gravel Hill Baptist Church this week were successful. Rev. G. W. Coleman, one of Calvary's sons, preached last Sunday morning. I wish to thank the friends and neighbors for kindness and aid during the illness of my mother, and their words of sympathy at her death. Mrs. Clara B. Speed.

Mrs. Lou Ella Young, District Grand Most Noble Governess of Eden Grand District Household of Ruth No. 18, Illinois and Wisconsin, fraternally known the country over, passed away at her home, 4114 Calumet Avenue, on June 19th at 5:30 A. M., thus ending one of the most active careers recently known. Mrs. Young was a native of Metropolis, Ill., where she was born fifty-five years ago and had been a resident of Chicago for thirty-two years. She was an active member of Metropolitan Community Center Church of which Rev. W. D. Cook is pastor. Mrs. Young was always fraternally inclined and had traveled extensively over the western States as lecturer of the Roseoud, Juvenile Department, Grand United Order of True Reformers. She was an officer and member of every branch of Odd Fellows and also a member of Electa Chapter, O. E. S. Union Guild, No. 2, Millie Heiser Circle, G. O. F., Elizabeth Elliott Circle, A. O. F., Sisters of Bethany, Warden Temple of Elks, Cornell Charity Club, Sinai Temple, Knights of Tabor, Heroines of Jericho, Crudaders and others.

Young; three brothers, John and James Robinson and Henry Hughes; several nieces and nephews and thousands of fraternal friends. EBENEZER ACTIVITIES. Rev. T. J. King, Pastor-Elect. The churchgoers of Ebenezer witnessed another glorious day last Sabbath. Services throughout the day were held in the People's Gospel Tabernacle because the church renovation is in process. The members are working arduously to have the church and parsonage beautified by the time Pastor King arrives. Rev. King never falls to have a written message of cheer for the members and friends each Sunday morning. —The Pittsburgh, Pa. Courier. FOR SALE!

IN STAUNTON STAUNTON, VA., June 18.—The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A. S. A. B. A. and A. has not and adjourned, but the rumors set afloat, the talk of the delegates and the murmurs of dissatisfaction were so deep and loud that even non-members of the Order were conversant with many inside affairs. The topic now being mostly discussed by both delegates and visitors are the disclosures made in the letter of Attorney M. J. Fulton to the Depositors' Creditors Committee, showing that three men, W. H. C. Brown, Joseph R. Polard, Levi C. Brown (and W. H. C. Brown) is said to have disclosed that Grand Chancellor W. B. F. Crowell) were members of the Investment and Finance Corporation. THE VITAL POINT Had these men succeeded, four of them would have purchased nearly $200,000 worth of the Bank's assets for $31,000 and the prout thereon, instead of going to the depositors on the Bank, as represented by the Mechanics Office Building Corporation, which corporation was sponsored by Assistant Attorney General Leon M. Bazile and Attorney M. J. Fulton would have been divided among these four men, instead of being distributed among the depositors of the Bank. A TRUNK OF INFORMATION Another important fact was brought out by John Mitchell's visit here. He brought with him, so he said, a trunk containing information upon these subjects. The amount of money received from the Receiver Joseph Button, Commissioner of Insurance, which he had conserved and saved to the Order through his agent, C. J. Churchman, Esq. was $11,592.70 as shown by the 1925 Grand Lodge Minutes which were given out here. In seven months time this amount had been reduced to $4,879.13. SALARIES INCREASED The salaries had been increased; that of the Grand Chancellor from $1200 to $1800, that of the Grand Keeper of Records and Seal remained the same, $900 per year, while the Grand Attorney was donated $500, and his salary placed at $1000 per year, making a salary expense of $4200, without including the compensation of the Grand Master of Exchequer. This was done in the face of the fact that the membership had fallen off nearly fifty per cent or about one half. The lodges numbered at one time nearly 300 and they were reduced to 172 and it was reported that only 38 of these were fully benefited. AN EXPERT AUDITOR Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green is reported to be an expert auditor and well versed in fraternal affairs. The delegates were commenting upon the fact that he and Grand Chancellor Crowell virtually locked horns when the latter disputed the deduction drawn by the head of the Knights of Pythias Order who quick silenced him by citing the figures from Crowell's report showing that he had paid out more money than he had taken in. COULD NOT CONTINUE He emphasized his position. it is (Continued on page 4.) Wins Cake on Own Merits ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY years ago a lusty infant was christened by a few brave gentlemen of the American colonies in Independence Hall, Philadelphia. The infant thrived on wars. In the very tenderest years of his youth he flung defiance at his father Empire and launched out for himself, the United States of America. He had hardly settled into peaceful pursuits when 1812 came and he had to take to the seas to defend his liberties. Fifty years more and he was at war again, but this time it was a war with himself. He fought an inner battle with a rebellious spirit, and aided by staunch friends like Abraham Lincoln and U. S. Grant, conquered his own restless spirit. Peace then for several years, during which he waxed fat in worldly goods and worldly knowledge. Then he found himself forced to take up the cudgel again, in 1917, helping his old father Empire and a few of his allies to put down a neighbor whose overweening ambition led to his own ruin. Now he is able to sit down and enjoy a birthday cake in peace, that he has earned well. He is 150 years old, but feels as fit as a child, and doesn't show his age at all. 150 YEARS OLD PEACE PROSPERITY The PURDYS by Paul Robinson PUBLISHERS AUTOCASTER SERVICE REG. U.S. PAT. OFFICE "Liberty" Was Cast on Famous Bell in 1753 AMERICA'S great Liberty Bell. Hanging mute now in Independence Hall, Philadelphia, has had a romantic past, but there is no stranger coincidence than the carving of the inscription on it 23 years before that famous call to liberty came in 1776. "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof," is the inscription that was just with the bell when it was made in 1753. The very words then must have had an air of mystery to the colonists, for when the bell was cast there were few, if any, in the land who were even dreaming of the kind of liberty the bell was to proclaim 22 years later. But the inscription was significant and prophetic that was fulfilled. Perhaps the superintendents of the old state house, Isaac Warner, Thomas Leech and Edward Warner, who ordered the bell cast, could tell why they chose just that Biblical quotation to be grawn on the bell. Was the dream of American liberty even then in their hearts? Beghs in London. The story of the Liberty Bell begins in London, where the first bell was cast in 1752, probably by the English bell founders, Lester & Black. It arrived in America some time before September, 1752. Soon after the bell was landed and while preparations were being made to hoist it into the steeple, a temporary scaffold was erected to test its sound. Of the testing Isaac Norris wrote to his London agent: "We had the mortification to hear that it was cracked by the stroke of the clapper, without any other violence." The first bell, therefore, was condemned, and the superintendents at once tackled the castings another. It was first processed to return the bell to London to be cast. But two American workmen skilled in making casting, came forward and offered to recruit, it in Philadelphia. They were John Pass, a native of Malta, and Charles Stow, Jr., whose father was cokeeper of the executive council of the province. Melted Down. The English bell with the cracked voice was melted down, and a new mold was made. In the early part of 1753 the new Liberty bell was GOSH 'L MIGHTY SHE'LL SHAKE THE STUFFINS OUT'O YA!

RICHMOND' VIRGINIA WHOA STOP'ER STOP'ER raised and fixed in the state house steeple. It seems, however, that the founders had experimented with a copper compound in recasting the bell, which gave it such a strange sound that it was brought down and recast again. In the meantime, Norris, twitte and teased because of the strange sound the bell had given forth, had ordered another bell from London, and when this arrived the superintendents found themselves with two bells on their hands. The dilemma was solved by attaching the new English bell to a clock in the state house, while the first bell, the one recast on American soil, was holested into the state house steeple, where it passed into history as our Liberty Bell. The veteran Liberty Bell of today, the Pass and Stow bell, remained in the steeple until 1777, when it was taken down on the approach of British soldiers to Philadelphia and hidden beneath the floor of the Church of the Reformed Zion Congregation, at Allentown, Pa. From 1763 to 1855 the voice of the herder impatient. In the latter years the fire appeared when the bell tolled upon the death of John Marshall. In 1846 the crack extended and the bell was never used again. Famous Occasions. The bell has rung for some great moments In. American history. moments in American history. Its tones brought the assembly together in 1757 when Benjamin Franklin was sent to England to seek redress for grievances. It rang, in muffled tones, in 1765, when the ship Royal Charlotte, bearing the odious stamps, came up the Delaware under convoy of a British man-o-war. When the Stamp Act went into operation in 1765 the bell was muffled and toiled. It rang in 1770 to call the people to the state house yard to "resolve that the claims of Parliament were subversive" of their constitutional rights. Its first joyous notes, proclaiming the birth of the American republic, rang out on July 7, 1776, four days after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. On this occasion the Declaration was read publicly and all the bells of the city rang all day and all night. WHAT'S THE MATTER? ANYTHING WRONG?

SATURDAY...JULY 8, 1926 Do not expect too much in this life and you will not be disappointed. Carelessness and thoughtlessness are responsible for many of our lilies. When you are in financial troubles always avoid dissension. It leads to disaster. Young people who heed the advice of older persons will win in the long run and prosper. Church folks do more fussing and quarrelring than any other class of people, but those of the married kind. Making money is one thousand times more difficult than losing money. The latter trait comes naturally. Women are determined to attract the attention of men, if there is any virtue in the "leg display" up and beyond the knee cap. This has become so common though that men are beginning to observe the low neck arrangement first. If short skirts had resulted in the reduction in expense, there might be some excuse upon the basis of economy, but when the skirts went up, so did the expense. The shape of some of these female legs is enough to drive even a cross-eyed man crazy. When you build a church, figure carefully as to how you shall pay for it and do not fall to remember that its operating expenses are very much like those of an automobile, constantly on the increase. This rule applies also to the raising of a family. THE PUGILISTIC OUTLOOK. The outlook at the present time is that Jack Dempsey and his friends will not risk chances in the ring with a boxer of the Harry Wills type. When pressed for his reasons for not favoring a championship match between these two heavyweights, Commissioner Muldoon, of the New York Boxing Commission is quoted as saying: "It is unfair to draw 150,000 people to any show and then find out the principals are not what they are supposed to be Dempsey today weighs 188 pounds and is a nervous wreck, so why force him into a ring with a man twenty or twenty-two pounds heavier and an acknowledged skillful boxer. Why can't we have other boxing matches than the one between Dempsey and Wills. Are they trying to encourage boxing here or are they trying to eliminate it. We have a great state here without having Dempsey and Wills fight and boxing is flourishing. I see no reason for disturbing things. There is a reason for this insistence on Dempsey-Wills fight, however, and when that reason is discovered everything will be explained." "Do you care to mention specifically any reason which would explain the matter?" Commissioner Muldoon was asked. "I would tell you in a minute if I knew the reason," he replied "That is what we must find out." Chairman Farley professed ignorance of any significance in Commissioner Muldoon's statement. "The only reason I know of for the action of the board is that we regard Wit's as the outstanding challenger for the title," he said New Jersey does not permit bouts save upon a "no decision" basis. This means that unless one of the contestants actually knocks out the other, then the contest cannot be decided in favor of either one of them. Tex Rickard is in favor of staging the fight of Dempsey with Gene Tunney in Chicago, but he would be willing to sell out his rights to Chicago promoters. He evidently realizes that such a contest would not draw a record crowd. The sporting and business elements are "on edge" to see Dempsey and Wills in the ring and they are willing to pay heavily for the privilege. So 'there ye are' K. OF P. IN STAUNTON (Continued from page 1) said, by declaring that the Grand Lodge could not continue on its course. It must either reduce expenses or increase taxes. Five thousand dollars were due the Supreme Lodge on a request made to aid in the erection of a million dollar Pythian Temple in Chicago. This was slightly more than the Order had in cash in its treasury when outstanding expenses were considered, but the money was to come out of the pockets of members of the Order and accordingly would not affect the treasury balance. THAT FROG STORY Supreme Chancellor Green's frog story is the talk of the town. He compared it to the condition of the Grand Lodge. He said a boy was told by his father to work out a problem. A frog was in a well. He jumped up three feet in the daytime and teased back four feet at night, now long would it take the frog to get out of the well? He gave his son a slate and a pencil and left him to solve the problem. BOTH SIDES FILLED Some time afterwards he returned: His son had filled both sides of the slate with figures. His father asked him if he had found the answer. He asked him to get me another slate, pa, I think I can find that frog in hell in about two hours." Supreme Chancellor Green is reported to have urged the infusion of new young blood in the Order and to have warned against the $300 policies which are now coming due. He authorized a $300 rate for new members and this met hearty approval. It represented a decrease in the joining fee. It was evident that this must be made up by additional taxation. WOULD HELP AGAIN The Supreme Chancellor is reported to have consoled them with the promise that should the Grand Lodge be threatened with a receivership, he would have to come to their aid again, although the Supreme Lodge was sorely pressed for money by its own obligations. Many delegates wore long faces when they boarded the trains for home last night, and expressed a disgust with the men who were now control. W H C Brown, Joseph R. R. Campbell and Matt N. Lewis were unknown to the Order until the recent trouble. Not until the John Mitchell, Jr. asserted, had been seen inside of a Grand Lodge in twenty-five years KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS DIVIDEND The actual amount, to which the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias was entitled and received under the 40 patent, dividend which was secured by Attorney M. J. Fulton on his motion in the Richmond Chancery Court was $20,799.56. Of this amount $2,000 was reported as having been placed in the treasury of that order. The figures with the statement of the exact disposition of the difference was not reported. The amount of $13,000.00 with interest due on a loan secured for the Grand Lodge was said to have been paid. Grand Court Dividend. The amount paid by the receivers on the 40 per cent basis to the Grand Court, Order of Calanthe, the Female Department of the Order, was $7,615.79. Six thousand dollars of this amount are said to have reached the treasury of that department. Six hundred dollars were charged up for legal services and deducted from the amount. This money is credited to W.H. C. Brown, of Newport News, Va. In addition to this, he drew last year $100.00 from this department for legal services. THAT BANK DIVIDEND It was reported that the questions propounded by John T. Taylor, of Richmond, concerning the failure to report in the financial statement the amount received from the receivers of the Mechanics Savings Bank on account of the 40 per cent dividend caused something of a flurry. It was announced that it would come in a report from the Finance Committee, but it did not do so. Then it was explained that the money did not go into the and Lodge treasury, only two thousand dollars of the total sum of twenty thousand dollars was reported in the Grand Lodge treasury. What became of the other eighteen thousand dollars? SUPREME LODGE GETS MONEY. It was finally explained that John Mitchell, Jr., had notified Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green at New Orleans as early as last December that the money would be available. That official lost no time in communicating with Supreme Attorney S. A. T. Watkins at Chicago and he in turn took the matter up at Richmond. The result was that when the money was actually paid over in March, arrangements had been made to send a certified check for the amount of thirteen thousand dollars with interest to the Supreme Lodge. It was computed that the amount was around $16,000. This left about $4,000, only $2,000 of which was put into the treasury.

Pontiac, Mtch EDITOR MITCHELL SPEAKS IN STAUNTON JOSEPH AND HIS BREHREN Staunton, Va., June 15, 1926. John Mitchell, Jr., former president of the Mechanics Savings Bank of Richmond, spoke in the Ebeneser Baptist Church here tonight to an enthusiastic audience. Rev. W. E. Brown of Richmond, presided. Rev. R. C. Pannell, the pastor, introduced the speaker and paid a glowing tribute to him and the work he had accomplished for his race. Mr. Mitchell's subject was "Joseph and His Brethren." He likened the white financiers and others to the Egyptians and drew a vivid illustration of his treatment at the hands of certain K. of P. brethren. He announced that he was in charge of the Mechanics Bank building. He read the following letter from counsel: To the Depositors Creditors Committee of the Mechanics Savings Bank, Richmond, Va. : In compliance with the request of your chairman to report previously my action in this matter, I beg to advise that when your committee employed me to represent certain of the depositors and creditors in this matter that there were two suits pending in the Chancery Court of the City or Richmond. The receivers had filed with them an offer of $60,000.00 for the sale of the Mechanics Savings Bank building and the three residence adjoining it, which the receivers were asking the court to accept. Your committee thought that this was too low a price for this real estate and employed me to object to the acceptance of this offer. In conjunction with Hon. Leon M. Bazile, attorney, and assistant Attorney General of Virginia, who represented certain of the creditors. We filed a petition on behalf of the creditors represented by your committee and by Mr. Bazile objecting to the sale. In that petition we also asked for a degree of reference to a commissioner in Chancery to ascertain who the creditors were, the amounts due each of them and all the liabilities and assets of the bank and the order of the priority of their payment, if any. Objection to Sale. The objection to the sale and the decree of reference was argued by Mr. Bazile and myself and the court sustained our objection to the sale of the real estate at $60,000.00 and ordered a decree of reference in which it brought all of the creditors before the court and commissioner and ascertained the amount due each of them and had the commissioner report showing the amount due each of them and the value of the assets. When that report was later filed and confirmed the court now ordered the buildings on our motion to be resold with an understanding that your committee would start the bidding at $60,000.00 in order to prevent the property from bringing a less amount than the receivers had offered. The committee did this in its efforts to make the property bring the highest price it would and the real estate was advertised for sale accordingly. Grand Lodge Representatives. Before the sale was had, however, Messrs. W. H. C. Brown and J. R. Pollard, attorneys, claiming to represent the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia, agreed with me as attorney for your committee that when this public sale was had that we representing your committee and Brown and Pollard representing the Grand Lodge would bid on this property. The final understanding being that I would appear at the sale representing the creditors committee and Pollard would appear at the sale representing the Lodge, and that we would run the property up and if we bid the property in that the Lodge would become joint owners in the property along with the creditors represented by you in proportion to the mount of the debts due to them by the bank. The sale was had and the property was bid in by the creditors committee at $75,309.00. Exceeded Authority. After this sale Brown claimed that Pollard had exceeded his authority in bidding $75,300 and notified the receivers that as attorneys for the Grand Lodge they were not going to be bound as parties to the purchase and as your counsel I told the receiver that I had no objection to their withdrawing if they saw fit so to do. They did withdraw and the sale was confirmed to the Creditors Committee at $75,300.00. You will thus see that your committee made this property bring $15,300 more for the creditors than it would have brought had they not objected to the above offer of $60,000.00 made to the receivers. That Special Corporation. Your committee represented a great number of depositors with varying amounts and it was not practical to have the real estate conveyed to each one of these separate creditors. Your committee called a meeting of the creditors represented by it and Mr. Bazile and these creditors organized the Mechanics Office Building Corporation and the title to the real estate was conveyed to the Mechanics Office Building Corporation in which the creditors represented by your committee and by Mr. Bazile became the stockholders. After the real estate was sold it was left in the hands of the receivers, certain notes, bills receivable, accounts, stocks, bonds, judgments, etc., which the receivers in administrating the estate in their hands decided it was best to sell at public auction to the highest bidder. Several Bidders. There were several bidders among the number, one of which was the Mechanics Office Building Corpora- THE NATION'S SHRINE 1776—1926 By A. B. CHAPIN tion and the other of which was the Investment and Finance Corporation, the officers of which were W. H. C Brown, president; J. R. Pollard, secretary and treasurer, and Levy C. Brown. These same-parties constituted the Board of Directors. This last named corporation, Investment & Finance Corporation, appeared at this sale and bid on these assets along with other bidders, but the officers of the Mechanics Office Building Corporation, which represented a large portion of the creditors, ran the property up from $25,-500.00, as I recall, to $31,300.00 and made the last and highest bid therefor and thus prevented the assets from being sacrificed and sold at less than they would have brought but for this action. Worked Untiringly It affords me pleasure as your counsel to say your committee has worked untiringly in trying to make the assets of the Mechanics Office Building corporation yield the greatest amount to the creditors and the depositors and that but for the action of this committee these assets would not have yielded to the creditors and depositors the amount that they will. It was through the action of your committee taken by its attorneys, cooperating and assisting and working with the receivers and others that enabled the court to declare and pay a dividend of 40 per cent and which will enable the receivers to pay a still additional dividend and in which all the creditors, including the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, Grand Court, Order of Calanthe and subordinate lodges and courts and all the other creditors have been greatly benefited and have shared and participated. Amount of Dividend Answering your inquiry as to the amount of this dividend received by the Graad Lodge Knights of Pythias and Graad Court Order of Calanthe, I beg to say that my recollection is that it was about or approximately $28,000.00. The exact figures can be obtained from the receivers. In concluding this letter I wish to say as attorney that the Depositors Protective Committee has, from the time the bank was placed in the hands of the receivers, worked unceasingly and untiringly to make the assets of this bank pay the largest amount possible to the depositors and creditors and they are entitled to the co-operation and appreciation of every depositor in this bank, in the splendid work they have done. Yours very truly. M. J. FULTON. The contents of this letter created something of a sensation and was the subject of much comment among the people here. Read The Planet.

A dozen king penguins may be seen standing up straight in New York's Ecological Garden. First to come here alive from their cold home in the Antarctic, it is doubtful that they will survive the hot Summer. Pay them a visit if you can. They stand three feet high, looking like soldiers or clergymen, very solemn. And their breeding habits make you thoughtful. The hen penguin lays only one white egg. If she laid it on the ground in her home climate it would freeze in half a minute. She puts her feet together, the egg on top of her feet, lets down over it a roll of feather covered fat from her stomach, and the heat of the fat keeps the egg and her feet warm. When she can't stand it any longer, the father pangun sidles up and the egg is swiftly switched to his feet and he lowers a roll of fat. The Reverend Dr. Slaten expects the human race to change greatly in sixty years. "Our grandchildren will make nature their teacher, rather than theology or philosophy." He also says our grandchildren will believe in internationalism, which will replace the patriotism of today. Things don't happen so rapidly. Patriotism, which means holding together and keeping what your ancestors have accomplished, will be necessary for many generations. As for making nature your teacher, without the help of theology or philosophy, nature can teach little unless the light of Dry Chief Tells AUTOCASTER A bomb was exploded at the Senate investigation of Pennsylvania primary expenditures, when Sen. James A. Reed (D) Mo., (below), obtained from Wayne B. Wheeler, Anti-saloon League counsel, (above), the testimony that several U. S. Senators and Congressmen had received sums of money from the Anti-saloon league for speeches opposing modification of present prohibition laws. PEN POINTERS A singing instructor in Chicago named Singenberger, so you can name it all on him. Henry Ford has been made a doctor of engineering. Perhaps pie will be standard equipment on filvesters from now on. Even before his diploma has been framed, many a young graduate feel that the world has "framed" on him. Police in Des Moines said they were too busy to destroy 1000 gallons of liquor confiscated in raids. Too busy what? A woman unconscious 32 days after a traffic accident is reported recovering. Lots of jailwalkers have been unconscious for years. Ducks Are Quackless Kind There are 100 baby ducks in this brood, and never a quack among them. They are the silent kind. The picture was taken near Los Angeles soon after they were hatched. Prelates at Eucharistic Congress T Nearly 2,000,000 Catolics assembled recently in Mundelein, Ill., used Chicago, for the Sacratic Congress of the church. The picture shows Cardinal Borzano (left) special representative of the pope, and Cardinal Mundelein, Chicago. philosophy helps you to understand and the light of inspiration makes it worth white. Primitive men had nature for teacher, and she only taught them to murder each other, and invent superstitions to justify it. Uncle Sam is certainly a rich old gentleman. His receipts yesterday amounted to more than five hundred million dollars, just a small part of his income. In Tom Reed's day, people called it dreadful for one Congress to spend a billion. Half of a Congress could spend that now in half a year, and ask for more. No wender Wall Street and the big men are happy. The real money and real values are here. Senator Reed, of Missouri, earnest and energetic, attacks the bill to extend Federal maternity aid to the States for another year. Mr. Reed objects to what he calls "a bunch of unmarried woman going about the country trying to tell REAL mothers how to raise their babies." The good Senator calls it "interference with American motherhood." If Senator Reed went to a well managed lying-in hospital he would find many unmarried women trained nurses, helping mothers to have their babies. And he wouldn't find the mothers dying like files, as they do throughout the country, tens of thousands of mothers dying in childbirth every year, because they lack knowledge and intelligent care. Merely HAVING a baby doesn't make a mother know how to take care of a baby. This Government spends millions teaching farmers to take care of new-born pigs, calves and other animals. It ought to spend a little money also to help human mothers with their children. And when Senator Reed thinks it over he will agree with that. Financial newspapers worry about any effort to help the farmers, fearing it may be a "tax on food." That is convincing, when your sympathies happen to be on that side. What about heavy duties, taxes that one hundred and fifteen millions of people pay, to protect a few dozen or hundred of manufacturers. Is it all right to tax all the people to protect the "right sort of people," but all wrong to tax anybody to protect thirty-five million people working on the farms? 1,1. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. Richard Roe was found dead in bed this morning. He appeared in the best of health yesterday, and partook of a heavy dinner at 6:30 last evening, as has been his custom for fifteen years. Decased was 55 years of age, and is supposed to have had heart disease. So much for the news item. The facts are that Mr. Roe had been indulging in gastronomic debauches known as six o'clock dinners, until his blood-pressure, responding to protein intoxication, had arisen to unknown heights; his arteries had taken on the consistence of old "inner tubes", hence the "blowout" was inevitable. The blood-vessels were not old in years, but they were deeppit from abuse. Too many men are dying at the ages of fifty to sixty years. And, since ignorance of law does not condone the offense, they are to blame for themselves inviting the catastrophe. More men are dying of six o'clock dinners in America today than from cancer! The writer has consulted many ruralists whose ages ranged from seventy to ninety years. These men do not die of high blood-pressure, nor do they indulge in the six o'clock debauch. The "light supper" has been the unwritten law of rural communities for many years. It remains for the city resident to introduce and practice so-called up-to-date methods of living, and he is paying the penalty for his disregard of the laws of right living, in length of days. Whenever a man dies in the prime of life, not the result of accident, or of epidemic disease, we should inquire into his manner of eating. Very few people die of business pressure; they die because they ignore the law of self-denial, and glut themselves with high-seasoned foods at improper hours. The penalty is certain. Next Week:— "ABSORPTION & DIGESTION" BEGIN HERE TODAY PETER LYSTER has lost his memory from shell shock in France. Upon his return he fails to recog- NAN MARRABY, to whom he be- come, engaged before he went away. Joan, to care for her three gons home to care for her three mothers and brothers. She has sean Peter often come to stay with JOHN ARNOTT, at the home of annott's widowed sister, near the city where he failed to show any signs of remembering.

He is JOAN ENDICOT on her way to visit Nan. She tells him that he is breaking Nan's heart. They agree to marry Nan. Nan is going to marry Sofoton. The next morning the boys are on their way to Sofoton. When Joan calls back the smaller of the trio and presses a letter into his hand. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "WHAT'S for Mr. Lyster," she sold for mr. Lyster, she said, urgently. "But urgently, must know - promise me . . . quick!" Claudie flushed with pleasure at the honor conferred on him. "Only you and me," he said in a stage whisper. "You mustn't even tell Jim_or Buster or Nan." "No." He peered round behind her towards the house. "Not tell nobody," he said importantly. "And mind you don't lose it," Joan entreated. "It's frightfully important—" He nodded vigorously. "Not to tell nobody—only Mr. Lyster," he said again. Joan smiled and nodded. "Yes—good boy—now run along." She watched him patter off through the sunshine, his little feet seaming small clouds of gray dust boiling him at each step; then, she went back to the house. Claudie reached the end of the road hot and breathless; he looked up and down eagerly, but could not see his brothers. Once he opened his mouth to call to them, but, remembering his precious mission, closed it again determined. If they waited for him, they might see the letter and ask questions, and he had promised Nane's pretty friend not to tell "nobody." He clutched the letter tightly as he went; he felt more proud than ever in his life before; he wondered if Mr. Lyster would give him a penny for being so faithful to his charges; if he did—there were some new sort of lollypops in the village stores his thought broke off as he heard a heavy step coming towards him down the narrow pathway. Peter, of course! His little face brightened—he started to run: then suddenly he stopped dead, as Harley Sefton broke through the undergrowth and came towards him. Claude hated Haterley Sefton. His eager footsteps came to a frightened halt as he looked up at the man's hard face; it was quite unconsolently that he put the hand which clutched the note behind his back in an attitude of defiance. But for that little gesture Sefton would probably have passed on without speaking, but, as it was, he stopped and smiled down at the child unpleasantly. "And where are you running to?" he asked. Claudie shivered; his little mind flew to the story of Red Riding Hood and the wolf whom she had met in the wood, and he wondered in terror if this man's smooth tones were purposely chosen to hide some sinister motive, as the Wolf's had been "Nowhere," he said, stoutly. He poked eniously past Piston down the narrow path beyond which led close to Peter Lyser and safety: New Spelling Champ AUTOOASTER The winner of the National Spelling Bee, held in Washington, D. C., is pretty little 13 year old Pauline Bell of Clarkson, Ky. Betty Robinson of South Bend, Ind., gave her a stiff battle until the word CERISE was given. Down went Betty, making the little mountain girl the proud winner of 2 gold medals and $1000 in cash. but, alas! it was too narrow for even a small boy to pass along while this man barred the way. But Claudie was plucky, and, suddenly ducking his head, he made a dive forward, hoping to scrape past against the bushes. But it was hopeless; Sefton caught him by the loose back of his sailor jacket and hauled him back. "So you'd run away, would you?" he said. He had never liked Claudie. Nan's affection for the boy. "Let me see," he began, with slow enjoyment. "You're the young man who said you hated me . . . and the young man to whom I once promised a thrashing—eh? Well, it seems to me that this is a most opportune moment—" Claudie screamed; he struggled vio- 23 In a contest between a brave man and a coward the ending is a foregone conclusion. lently, beating one small fat fist against his tormentor's body. "Let me go—let me go!" he said, over and over again. "Nan Nan Nan." In his fright, he let the precious note drop to the mossy pathway at his feet and Harley Sefton saw it. He kept hold of Claudie with one hand and stooped to pick it up with the other. He saw the name on the outside of the folded paper, and, though he had made seen Nan's handwriting, he took it and granted that it must be hers and that she was sending this note to Lovster. An ugly expression crossed his face. He dropped the note into a pocket and shook Claudie till he was breathless. "You young monkey, you! So this is the little game, is it? I'll teach you—I'll—" He lifted the riding whip which he invariably carried with him in the country and brought it down heavily on the child's shrinking body. "I'll teach you to defy me and hate me. I'll—" "Oh you bruise you brute!" It was Nan's voice—Nan, who came firing through the wood and caught his arm in the wound, as depending for the second time. She was as white as death; she hardly teamed to know what she was doing. She struck a. Harley Softon's face like a mad woman. AUTODASTER Thomas A. Edison, electrical wizard and great American inventor, from a most recent photo taken at his East Orange, N. J. laboratories where so many years have been devoted to tireless experiments. him go—let him go" Sheer surprise had made Softon relinquish his hold of the boy, and Claudie dropped sobbing and shaking amongst the bracken and undergrowth. Softon tried to catch Nan's arms and hold her, but for the moment rage made her stronger than he. She struck at him again and again. She saw the world red. That he should so have dared to hurt Claudie. She could have killed him in her passionate anger and hatred. "You wild cat, you!" he said savagely. His face was ugly, but there was a look of unwilling admiration in his eyes. He hold both her wrists with one hand; the other he passed agitatedly across his face. It was red and bruised, and his lip had been cut by the diamond ring which he himself had given Nan. She stood panting and struggling with him. She loathed the touch of his hand on her. She was sick with shame that she could ever have thought it possible that she could marry such a man. Claudie had got over his first deep terror and was howling now in real earnest, raising his voice shrilly till it must have been heard half over the wood. Sefton looked round uneasily. He was a coward at heart, as are most bullies. "Stop that little devil's noise!" he said savagely. "If you think I'm going to put up with his nonsense and yours as well." He broke off, releasing Nan and wheeling sharply as someone crashed through the undergrowth, and the next moment Peter Lyster was there, not a yard from them. How much he had heard or seen none of them knew, but there was a look in his face which Nan had never thought to see there again—a look in his eyes as he turned from her to Sefton that made her heart swoon in her breast for sheer happiness. She put out her arms and drew Claudie into them and away from the two men who faced one another in the narrow pathway. Sefton laughed insolently as he looked at Peter. "Ahl the play-actor!" he said with detestable inflection. "The man who lost his memory to avoid further service, or to escape an unwelcome engagement. The man who forgot . . . conveniently forgot—" But he never finished that sentence; Peter made a lunge forward and caught him fairly between the eyes. Claudie cried out, but with delight now rather than fear, and Nan hid her eyes. But in a contest between a brave man and a coward the ending is a foregone conclusion, and in two moments Lyster had broken the riding crop across its owner's back, and Sefton had disappeared—a limping, raging thing, to hide his shame in the heart of the wood. Peter was breathing heavily and his face was very pale. There was a dazed sort of look about him; big man as he was, he trembled like a girl now his rage had dled down. And, then, quite suddenly, without comment of any sort, Lyster turned on his heel and began to walk slowly away. His steps dragged—his head was downbent—he walked like a man who is thoroughly exhausted. Nan gently released Claudie's clinging fingers and flew after Peter down the narrow path, her light steps hardly making any sound on hisassy ground; she caught him up—she poke his name breathlessly, fearfully. "Mr. Lyster." But he did not stop, or look at her; he just said hooeyly: "Let me go—let me go!" as if he could bear no more, and Nan fell back silently. She took Claudie's hand and they went home without speaking. Joan met them in the doorway. She gasped when she saw the tearstains and agitation on both faces. She asked a volley of questions. What had happened? Was anybody hurt? Oh, how dreadful! (To Be Continued) AUROLA TER The oldest member of the U. S. upper house is Senator Warren of Wyoming.

Wins Fame Behind Prison WallsRemarkable Experience of a Brilliant Colored Man. LBD By An. Jasider (Reprint and publishing rights reserved exclusively by the author.) "WITHIN PRISON WALLS." (Editor's Note: "Witnin Prison Walls' in this issue was written by a young colored man, of good family and training, who for obvious reasons is withholding his real identity and who due to his ability, served (during a course of ten years) in his positions (as an inmate) one of which has never been filled by any other inmate of any race. During this series he will dwell intimately on certain phases of prison life that are rare, if ever, disclosed to the public.) (Continued from last week.) The hours are above everything else regular. Arising about five forty-five in the morning, eating about six-thirty and to work by seven is a monotonous routine six days out of every week in the year-Dinner at eleven-thirty. About 20 minutes on the prison yard, to talk to friends, pay ball or merely walk about and then back to work until five. Under different administrations the quitting time changes. Some wardens let the men quit earlier and gave them an hour and a half and two hours in the yard in the evenings, while others allowed no yard privileges. In either case however, everyone was locked in their cells (unless out on special details) by six or six-thirty. A PRISON SCHOOL Some wardens encouraged a prison school, while others did not. If there was a school the men would spend another hour or hour and a half attending same and were back in their cells by a little after eight. there to remain till morning. In their cells they could read, study, work on fancy novelties, etc., until the lights went out at nine when each must in his bed. Some of these cells are very comfortably laid aside and with a window have under various administrations been able to buy practically everything possible to make a real home out of a cell, six by ten feet. AN IMPRESSIVE SIGHT One of the most impressive sights within the prison wall is to observe the men at their leisure in the yard when hundreds are walking to and fro. Here are mingling men of all walks and types. Lawyers, doctors, bankers, merchants, brokers, murderers, pickpockets, stick-up men, confidence men, and crooks of every and all kinds. They have all played the game and lost—all have taken their chance, urged on through greed of money or love of women and dazzling creations and are now coming. Some of them bear a domineering picturesque personality and are easily what they appear, leaders of men. To secure their confidence and to listen to their reminiscences is a privilege that even readers of famous novelists do not share as their experiences are myriad. Sufficient are the hair-thrilling realistic tales stored up in my memory that if I possessed the literary ability to reproduce in print would make such stories eagerly sought after by the thousands and thousands of crime loving readers. Each would have its moral as the end in all cases seems the same. Perhaps some day under the proper tutorship this writer can share these interesting tales with the reader. TYPES OF MEN To indicate the various types of men let me state that in the front offices working with me were eight other inmates doing general routine clerical work and they included two bankers, a real estate man, a lawyer, an undertaker, a former credit manager, a printer and a doctor. Each had a heartrending story a career, a past and all were lovably human. The writer mid these surroundings for peace in mind and was working hard with the inmates with all and laying the foundations which to seek clemency at an early data months had elapsed darkness once and start life over when after such more crossed his threshold. NO WORD FROM OUTSIDE During all this period I had received word from no one for indeed as I thought, no one knew where I was, when one day I was called to the guard room for a visit—to say that I was surprised is putting it mildly—who could possibly want to see me. However it was the sheriff who counted and even though he did not come to warrantis on me his visit proved the worst blow that fate had ever dealt me. It was a complete knockout. Impending Disaster. I was not only inwardly affected, but my outward expression belied my calm and indifferent countenance for the officials with whom I was working sensed an impending disaster to me and after learning the facts several of them wrote personal letters to the lawyer handling the divorce, trying to dissuade his actions and the wife of one official even went to the trouble of writing a personal letter from one woman to another, but all to no avail. No surgeon's knife could have inflicted a sharper wound and a wound that time alone could heal. Added Vigor. I threw myself into my work with added vigor attempting to forget everything and fate was kind in throwing additional work my way for about this time Mr. Frensdorf, the acting warden, had accepted the many pleas that his party be allowed to run for Governor and with the inception his plans it was not uncommon for me to be working with him in his office until in the year 1883 the morning writing and preparing campaign letters, speeches, etc. Thus through constant work I found peace again. Anticipated Requirements. Life again seemed rosy for while I ad had no definite assurance of same I felt that if he would secure the Governorship that through same I could and my niche in life. I knew that I could master the work and I anticipated every requirement nad strove to fill same. It was a real experience that of being able to be useful in such a close capacity as an inmate when as a free colored man my chance was forlorn. The First Year. During this first year but one prison casualty befell the writer and peculiarly enough it was over my friend with whom I originally entered the institution. Not for the purpose of giving publicity to the 'prison's methods of inflicting punishment but as it might be interesting for the reader to know just what the writer experienced I will detail this little prison infraction of the rules and its subsequent chastisement. The sales manager for whom I originally began to work was a most appreciative sort of fellow and it seemed he couldn't do too much for me in making my prison life bearable and on one occasion his wife roasted a chicken and he brought it down to me one evening. A chicken under such circumstances as the reader can imagine was the elixir of prison life and I did not hesitate to devour same. The Tempting Morsel. After finishing about half of it the thought came to me that my friend, who by the way had been moved into one of the big cells next to me, would enjoy some of this choice morsel, something that was cookedin the manner that could never be obtained by him through the regular channels. It was about eleven at night when I woke my friend up and shoved the balance of the chicken through the bread to him. Of course he appreciated our luxury, but not thinking he left the carcass and the next morning when the office searched the cell, as was customary on his rounds, he found the carcass and knowing that my friend worked in the kitchen immediately jumped to the conclusion that he had stolen the chicken from the officers' dining room. Caused Trouble. They summoned him over to the deputy's office and not thinking he stated that the writer had given him the chicken and consequently they called me in for questioning and knowing that I worked in the front office they immediately surmised that I had stolen the chicken from the warden's residence which was immediately above the front office. When I denied that I had stolen same, but refused to state who had given me the chicken they threatened to put me in the "cow-house" and making their word true they put me there. To the reader who knows nothing of such treatment I will describe the "cow-house." I was id to place my cap on the hallmaster's desk and to put what few articles in my possession in the hat and after removing my coat was escorted to the basement of a separate building, where I was commanded to strip. Peculiar Punishment. An old suit of underwear and a pair of striped pants and felt slippers were given to me and after doning same was lead to a subterranean cell and forced to stand between a semicircular cell door and an ordinary cell front leaving room t oturn neither to the right or to the left. There I stood till the noon whistles blew when a slice of bread and a cup of water was brought to me and then to continue till the shops closed when I was released from this standing torment and permitted to pace back and forth in the cell, providing I had energy enough left to do so. At this juncture the deputy warden came down to interview me and force me to tell where I got the chicken. This I didn't feel I could do as to use his expression as left there to rot and I tried to lie down on the concrete floor between two dirty blankets with vermin swarming about but sleep would not come. Help at Last. In the meantime the sales manager had used all means to secure my release, but inasmuch as he was a big cog in the wheel in the front office he had no influence in the administration of prison discipline and he was unable to secure my release. However about ten-thirty that same evening the night captain came down and talked with me and before leaving released me. Never did a bed, even one that night better than it did that night when I got my cell. One must be without before can really appreciate the necessities of life. I was back in my cell, but I felt I had incurred the wrath of the THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Colds, Grippe, Flu, Dengue Bilious Fever and Malaria It Kills the Germs.

The next morning after breakfast I reported to the deputy warden's office expecting to be cast once again among the myriad lost souls who were sweating the sweat of the doomed. To my surprise, however, he told me to go on back to work and not to bring anything more inside the prison. I didn't know till I got down in the office just how or why I was released so soon but it transpired that the sales manager had appealed to one of the members of the prison board of control in warden's absence who in turn secured the release before. This little experience cost me the loss of my big comfortable cell, however, for a period of thirty days and during this time I once again had to occupy one of those little "once-turn-around" cells at it was an iron-clad rule that each person receiving a report must in addition to other punishment undergo a thirty-day period in one of the small cells.

After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago we've leading physicians of my city treated me for kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, 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 before 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 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. IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE. Mr. L. J. Hayden, 224 West Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I received your treatment O. K., and I have started to take it already for a few days, and it has already begun to improve my alliment so I am sending to you for one more bottle of medicine for the bood. I have spoken to many of my friends and they say they are going to send for a treatment. I think it is a great remedy. I do not suffer with my pains as I used to and my appetite is just fine and I sleep much better every night and feel fine monials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. The following ringing words of the Major General Bell addressed to the famous "Buffaloes", the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:— "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this canonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome". THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY More than fifty pages of the Book devoted to the Achievements of the Negro in the American Navy—Guarding the Trans-Atlantic Route to France—Battling the Submarine Peril—The Best Sailors in any Navy in the World—Making a Navy in Three Months from Negro Stevedores and Laborers—Wonderful Accomplishments of Our Negro Yeomen and Yeowoman. As we have fought for the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world, the people want to be correctly and fully informed of the facts concerning OUR Heroes—and this is THE Book they are looking for. THE ONLY HISTORY THAT WILL FULLY SATISFY THE AMERICAN-COLORED PEOPLE This Book appeals to the Colored People. They are eager to buy it. Why—Because it is the only War Book published that thrillingly, graphically, yet faithfully describes the wonderful part that the Colored Soldier has taken in the World War and is absolutely fair to the Negro. *It relates to the world how 300,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving the a. tors of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and patriotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublime self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their troops.
