THE RICHMOND PLANET FINLEY WILSON STILL AT HELM. THE ELK CHIEFTAIN DEFIES EFFORTS TO RETIRE HIM Will Meet in New York Next Year. VOLUME XLIII. NO. 43 FINLE STILI THE ELK EFFORT Other Office After Will Meet The Grand Lodge, I. B. P. O. E of the World ended its annual session at Cleveland, Ohio as was expected—all of the officers were reelected. It was one of the stormiest meetings in the history of the organization. Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson lost no time in getting across the winning line after the reading of his report. He was reelected near midnight, Thursday, 26th ult. Judge Henry did not develop the strength expected and the Wilson vote was in the nature of a landslide. HEAVY ARTILLERY With Wilson out of the running, the heaviest parliamentary artillery was brought to bear on Grand Secretary George E. Bates and Grand Treasurer James T. Carter. Bates' report was so vitriolic in dealing with Harry H. Pace that later a motion was made to expurge certain parts of it from the minutes. At no time was Bates in danger of defeat. He had the situation in hand at the beginning and held it to the close. His majority was so overwhelming that despite the bitter things said, Pace himself arose and moved to make it unanimous. CARTER'S DEFENSE Pace's attacks upon Bates were one of the most remarkable features of the campaign. James T. Carter, Esq., who has been dubbed the "gen tleman treasurer" maintained his equilibrium throughout the trying campaign despite the fact that he was bitterly assailed by Harry H. Pace, who appeared in the role of investigator. He was opposed by J. T. Martin from Chicago, Tiffany Toliver from Roanoke and John W. White from Richmond. Capital City Lodge's delegation stood by White to the finish. GOING TO NEW YORK Some were not disposed to extend the usual courtesy of making the vote unanimous. The Grand Lodge voted to hold the next session in New York, but owing to alleged legal entanglements, the Grand Exalted Ruler, together with a majority of the Board of Trustees were authorized to change the place of meeting should circumstances warrant the same. The parade did not equal the one at Richmond last year and comparisons drawn were all in favor of Richmond. STEPTOE JORDAN Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Jordan are announcing the marriage of their daughter, Marian Antionette, to Mr. Charles Schaffers Steptoe, of Roanoke, Va., which took place privately in the home of the bride's parents, 716 North Road, Glinter Park, Richmond, Va., on Friday, September 18, 1925. Rev. T. J. King performed the ceremony in the presence of the immediate family. Mr. Steptoe is a student of pharmacy, at Temple University, Philadelphia, Pa. Mrs. Steptoe is a student in the School of Commerce, at Temple University, Philadelphia, Pa. After graduation Mr. and Mrs. Steptoe will be at home to friends at 711 North Road, Glinter Park, Richmond, Va. A. M. E. YOUNG FOLKS MEET IN NORFOLK. The Twenty-first Annual Convention of the State Allen Christian Endeavor League and Second Annual Convention of the State Sunday School Convention convened in the A. M. E. Monumental Church, Norfolk, Va., August 24, 1926. For four days the people of Norfolk were inspired by the live and instructive meetings. Dr. James S. Hatcher, Attorney W. F. Denny, Miss Avis Hatcher, Mrs. Cora L. Valentine and Miss Ruth M Denny were delegates from Richmond. Dr J. S. Hatcher conducted the Bible Class and Prof. W. H. Shackleford, of Nashville, Tenn. conducted the Object Lessons. Attorney W. F. Denny served as the resolution committee and presented suitable resolutions which were adopted.

UNITED SALES AGENCY, 3159 Indiana Ave. rue, Chicago, Ill. A HEART TO HEART TALK TO PARENTS AND GUARDIANS And to All Who are Interested In the Welfare of the Rising Generation (By Rev. James M. Henderson, M. M. President of the Industrial Union of America.) The secret habits that grow out of impure thoughts is a great injury to the child. There are many temptations all along the way to turn the minds of children from the path of right and purity. A practical education is the only hope for your son or daughter. De pendence and helplessness are the characteristics of childhood. The parent is the natural and legal guardian. Among the rights of children is the right to education and the guardian of that is the parent. Remember always that it is your duty to cooperate with those who are earnestly engaged in providing good schools for your children. Send your children to school at once. School habits become a part of adult character. Sometimes children need compulsion. Some are indifferent. But always remember that ignorance threatens more severely the in different child, than the apt and willing one. Your boy is to become a man and your girl a woman some day. This is an age of sharp competition when everone needs skill in order to conquer. An ignorant boy has no future before him and an ignorant girl will be the misfortune of an unborn generation whose mother she is to be. Almost every European nation, as well as America, has experimented with this instruction until it has been a matter of statistics that "human education lowers the criminal record." But, notwithstanding this fact there are thousands of children on the streets today who ought to be in some training school. Dear Parent: This is a serious matter. You owe all the education possible to your child. Our government calls upon you as parents to prepare the boy for citizenship and heaven commits the girl to your guardianship and tender care to prepare her for the duties of a wife and mother. The Industrial Union Training School at Southern Pines offers an unparalleled opportunity to your child, also to young men and women. REV. JAMES M. HENDERSON. "Apply thine heart unto instruction and thine ear to the words of knowledge." Proverbs 23:12. One word more: Parents are often to blame for their children going wrong because they do not give them the needed instruction. Self obtained experience has too often proven to be a fatal lesson which the poor victim has learned, at the cost of his life. "A child left to him self brings his mother to shame." Proverbs 29:15. Again we are taught by the Good Book, to "Train up a child in the way it should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6. Ministers, School Teachers: Your children are getting worse. What are you going to do? The Race is no greater than the weakest one in it. (More to say later. Will rest my burden here.)

Judge Condemns the Horrible Crime. GOVERNOR BYRD ACTS. WAS JAS. "BOSSY" PATTERSON GUILTY? James (Bossy) Patterson was electrocuted in the death chamber within the grim walls of the Virginia Penitentiary Friday morning. "Thus ended one of the most stubbornly contested legal fights ever known in this country. It was January 29, 1922 that Jryn Sied a Jew was killed by some one on Harding Street, Petersburg, Va, and later, 'Bossy' Patterson was arrested and charged with the crime. Attorney William F. Denny of this city, who "won his spurs" by the practice of law in West Virginia was retained to defend him in conjunction with another colored attorney, who finally dropped out. APPEALED THE CASE. Attorney Denny after the conviction of Patterson took the case up to the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia and secured a reversal of the verdict of death. On the second trial, a death penalty was meted. Attorney Denny again appealed the case and when the decision of the lower court was sustained by the Supreme Court of Appeals, he took an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States upon constitutional grounds. The final tribunal ruled that it was without jurisdiction. LED THE MONEY RAISING. This prevented the consideration (Continued on page 4.) EVANGELIST SKIPWITH STIRS JERSEY CITY, N. J. Zion Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. W. A. Epps, Pastor—For six weeks under tent on the campus of our church the greatest and most noted preacher, singer, and evangelist of our race the Rev. Dr. William H. Skipwith, has been defying the devil and all of his allies. One hundred and forty (140) persons quit the broad way of life and signed up for Christ. We have baptized sixty (60). The beauty about this man of God, is he gets his crowd and keeps them; then he's purely orthodox. Has Virginia (Richmond) any more like him? Send them up. W A E p. The Richmond Baptist Sunday School Union will hold its regular monthly program of exercises Sunday, September 5th, 3:30 P. M. at the Second Baptist Church, South Richmond, Rev. E. C Smith, pastor. An excellent program is arranged. and the public is urged to attend. Mr. E. J. Cunningham is superintendent of the Second Baptist Sunday School and he promises a fine session for President John Ballard, of the Union and his officers. Mrs Mary Brown, of Baker Street is visiting her brother and sisters in New York City. REV. DR. KING AND FAMILY GO TO PITTSEURGH. REV. DR. MORRIS SEEKING HARMONY. Rev. T. J. King, D. D. preached his farewell sermons at the new Fifth Street Baptist Church last Sunday. Crowds throned the structure during the day. Rev. Charles S. Morris D. D. was installed as supply pastor to hold over until a regular pastor is called by the church. He held a conference with the officers of the church Monday night and the feeling of unrest was for the time being relayed. He took the position, so it is said, that he was ready to leave whenever the church agreed upon a regular pastor. The congregation is faced with an indebtedness, aggregating more than $75,000.00 and some of the members have been outspoken in their disapproval of conditions. The effort to bring harmony in the church was essentially necessary and it was to this end that Rev. Dr. Morris met the disgruntled elements. After the meeting the opinon seemed to be practically unanimous that a good beginning had been made. Deacon James B. Page is chairman of the Deacon Board. OTHER MINISTERS MENTIONED Rev. Dr. King and his Madame left Monday morning for his charge in Pittsburgh. Pa. Many other candidates are being mentioned for the pastorate Among them are Rev. R. H. Bowling, of Norfolk; Rev. W. T.

The lynching of Raymond Bird here by a mob from outside of this town has excited more attention outside than it seems to have caused here. Colored people here are taking no outward action, but are watching with interest the action of the white folks. The Richmond Planet, which has been seen here is not seen any more as there is a tense feeling, no colored person knowing just what will happen after the outside influences, exerted by the Governor, the Attorney General's office and the State press have been withdrawn. ABLE ATTORNEYS. The colored man was lynched Aug. 15, 1926, in such a quiet manner, the body being removed, that few persons knew of the tragedy until well into the next day. Commonwealth's Attorney Heuser, Assistant Attorney Joseph H. Chitwood, of Attroneye Joseph H. Chitwood, of Roanoke are conducting the investigation. Judge Sutherland's charge to the jury while short was emphatic. He declared the lynching of Bird to be a crime, which shames both the County and the State of Virginia. DOUBT WITNESSES. The feeling here is that the testimony of the witnesses summoned will not be direct enough to fasten the crime upon any one of the lynchers although there is not doubt, but what the officials engaged in the task mean business and will really do all in their power to bring about the indictment of some of the men who were responsible for the tragedy. It has been difficult, for some of the people here to understand that the lynching of the colored man was a crime against the State and that his guilt or innocence has no bearing upon the crime. RELATIVE WRITES THE TRUTH ABOUT THE BIRD CASE. We have received a letter from a relative of Raymond Bird, who tells of the trouble and the cause of the lynching. She says: "I just came back from Rural Retreat and Wytheville. That is just a few miles above here, where they lynched Raymond Bird on the 15th of August. I took supper with his mother, who is my first cousin. She is very sad over the matter. He has a nice father and mother. He also has a wife and three small children, the oldest not over 5 years of age. "There are three white girls ranging in ages from 12, 18, and 20 years. The one 18 years of age gave birth to a child about four weeks ago while in an automobile on the way to Abingdon Hospital. She told the nurses the baby was white, but they told her it was a colored baby. When she left the hospital, she went to Roanoke and tried to get some one to take the baby, but couldn't find a home for it. She took the baby home and then Raymond got an automobile and took it to Wytheville to a colored woman. I saw the baby yesterday. It is a pretty baby, being a brownie. "The girls love Raymond and the white girl told the officer that she would die and go to h...l before she would go against Raymond. The 20 year old girl is in the hospital.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1926 Climbing up is a difficult task: climbing down is an easy job. Grumbling may not get us anywhere, but it certainly relieves the mind sometimes. Some people are suited for matri- nomy and some others are suited for single blessedness. You must remember that when we are disposed, to be most despondent, help is right at hand. Girls "doll up" to fool 'em and boys dress up to do the same thing. When one will not stay away from the other, just tie them with the metrimonial knot. They'll stay away from each other then, somehow. The white press of this city has been "sitting pretty" on the Wytheville lynching. The Richmond, Va. News Leader has gone the whole distance in condemning the outrage and the Times Dispatch has been in the forefront in doing the same thing. You might as well give it to him. Attorney William F. Denny has put himself in the forefront of his profession in the handling of the "Bossy" Patterson case. His energy, his persistency, his ability scintillates all through this great struggle. To win was to win, to lose was to win, for by this struggle, some other innocent man's life may be saved. Hon. H. C. Smith ran fifth among twelve candidates fro Governor of Ohio in the Republican primary recently. There are some people in that State who certainly want him to fill that office. President L. K. Williams of the National Baptist Convention will be re-elected. He is the right man in the right place and he kno ws exactly what he is doing and just how to do it. Bird Lynching Case Bird Lynching Case (Continued from Page 1.) too. Raymond never moved. They shot him three times in the head. They were that old poor crowd from North Rural Retreat. These white people have been fraternizing with colored people. The girls' mother tried to get Raymond to go away from this neighborhood, but he would not. "Those Grubbs have been mixing up with Negroes ever since before the War. They were good livers and Raymond Bird has been working for them for 11 years. I wanted you to get the truth about it.

Waverly White a well-known colored business man of Petersburg, Va. was instrumental in leading the movement in raising the money for the prosecution of the case. He has proven to be a remarkable character in this case. As for Attorney W. F. Denny, he has become celebrated as a result of his efforts and his legal associates as well as the public are unstinted in praise of his great legal battle. For persistency and ability, it rivals any similar one in this country. There is evidently a feeling of awe over the final disposition of this case. Patterson went to his death protesting his innocence. Who killed Irvin Sied, the Jew? Patterson, looking into eternity with a prayer upon his lips, says that he did not kill him. PATTERSON'S LETTER August 26, 1926. 9 P. M. Mr. Johnson Preston, co the Penitentiary, Richmond, Va. My dear friend and Spiritual Advisor: I cannot but think back during my last hours and remember all that you have done for me during the more than four years I have been in trouble. This my dear friend I wish you ot bear in mind is not a hurried statement but one that I have given a great deal of thought to. Your worldly gifts to me were many, and most worthy of mention, but at this time it is my desire to thank you for the spiritual good you and your teachings have done to prepare me to meet my God, and my dear friend I rejoice and praise Godto be able to say I am prepared. Snowing I am about to face my God where truth is God's teaching and what He loves, I want you and the world to hear me declare that I am innocent of the crime for which I am dying. I am in full possession of my senses and fully realize that had I wished to play insane it would have been an easy matter for me after being conned for four years, mose anyone would naturally say, "He has had enough to run him crazy." But I have been serving God and I find it is not hard to die, for I have placed my trust in Him. You, in your goodness of heart, have rendered me so many services in this life, I ask as my last request that you take care of my body after my soul has left it. Asking God to bless you and yours, I bid you a last farewell, and with prayers for you in my last hours, I close happy with my trust in God.

It was the driest task in the life of a scamman and was aborbed by officers and men alike. The ship was moored at the coal dock, doors of cabins were closed fast and even were wadded with cotton to keep out the dust. The entire personnel put on its most dilapidated work clothes and prepared for misery. If the coaling were done at a tropical or Oriental port, for hours a string of coolies bearing coal sacks on their shoulders would trot in and out on the gang planks to the bunkers. Men inside toiled in the black dust cloud to trim the load and grime and murk would spread itself from mast head to waterline of canvas hung over the ship to prevent possible the dark brown fluid which oil pipe is coupled to take all the protective needed. Two or three pipe tenders, who may greasy, have the only the rest of the crew white are not disturbed routine, which may in leave.

Massingill, and later, on arrival at the Mobile county jail Bachelor retreated his confession in the presence of newspaperm, the sheriff and jail attaches. Bachelor declared that while the Negro fired the shot he prompted him to do so, adding that he was guilty. He is in a very serious nerous condition, but promised to make a full confession of the affair later in the day. COMMITTED TO JAIL Following their arrest yesterday, Bachelor and the colored man were ordered to the Mobile county jail for safekeeping by Governor Brandon. The trip was started by automobile last night about 9 o'clock and the party arrived here this morning and the bay boat from Baldwin County. The two prisoners were ad compelled by deputy sheriffs.

How would you like to start life all over again at 67 years of age—just when most of your friends were retiring from business? How would you like to start this "second life" with a debt of $20,000,000? That is what happened to F. M. "Borax" Smith. And Smith, now 80 years old, will have every cent of his $20,000,000 debt paid off in five years. Smith has had two dreams in his life. He went broke in 1913 because his first dream had not come true. Now that dream is coming true and the second dream is coming true along with it. Discovered Boraa Smith's first dream was to make Oakland the metropolis of the Pacific coast. His second was to pay his debts before he died Smith came out of Wisconsin to Idaho some fifty years ago. He made big money buying timber and selling it for firewood. He switched to mining. He discovered borax, made it a household necessity, "put over the 20's and became a millionaire 23 times." He came to Oakland with his millions 40 years ago. He dreamed of Oakland as the metropolis of the Pacific. He bought land—land—and yet more land.

The people, who were to come, must ride. They would need water, too, so Smith or the water company. But in 1913 came the crush The people had had no chance enough. Even the fabulous profits from his borax mould wouldn't keep the finan- cial clai ship afloat Bought a Mountain "I'll pay you all back before he dies." Smith told his creditors He sold his borax holdings to pay some of his bills. For seven years Smith was working quietly—almost for gotten Then one day he came back from Nevada. He had bought a mountain of borax He organized a new company He paid some more of his debts. And about this time, 1921 Smith's big farm began to come true. The people for whom he had planned and hoped for many years began to come to Oakland. Smith's tract increased in value. Many tracts were cut up. "Because of the enhancement of the real property . . . we believe that within the next five years this property will not only pay the entire debt but will provide a substantial sum in excess of this debt," reported a committee of his creditors the other day. "I am glad and I want to live," said Smith. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA CHURCH DIRECTORY FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. (Broad and College Streets) Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D.

NELSON MANUFACTURING CO., RICHMOND, VA. NELSON'S HAIR DRESSING This Week By Arthur Brisbane HOW IS IT IN HEAVEN? GERTRUDE SAYS, "COME ON!" YOUR DOLLAR SMALLER? IF HELD UP, SMILE! Scientists gathered at Williams- bown possess the blessed gift of hope. They say chemistry will end all our worries, including food problems. Power locked up in the revolving electrons will run all our machinery; no need of coal, oil or water power. Artificial rubber, better than the genuine, will be made from petroleum. Artificial stone for buildings will take the place of brick shells on buildings. The best of it is that all this, and much more, is TRUE. The real wealth of the human race is not in oceans, in fertile soil or even in sunlight. It is principally in the brain of man. On Sunday, 60,000 visiting the Besqui-Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, studied exhibits from many States and foreign countries, latest machinery, inventions, devices to increase happiness and diminish misery among human beings. And many sincere men and women believe that the 60,000 ought to go hell, or close to it, for "violating the Sabbath." What do they think happens in Heaven on Sunday? Are the harps silenced, the strange and interesting beasts, described in Revelations, caged up for the day, the dignified and industrious elders ordered to stop their bowing down, until Monday morning? How can a Christian be Mohmed, shintoist, or Buddhist, spend Sunday better than studying a combination of man's works and Creator's beneficence? Various English newspapers criticize Corrida Elderle's maur ner of swimming the Channel. They complain that she availed herself of the accompanying tug's protection and swam in the use of the boat, which broke the force of the current. Being an American swimmer, she probably should have towed that tugboat with her teeth. Yesterday Miss Ederle challenged anybody in Europe, man or woman, to a Channel swim for a purse of $20,000, and she is ready to swim now. That should clear up the atmosphere for those who think Gertrude cannot swim. "Have you thought about your dollar?" That question is asked by one of the ablest modern financiers, a young man who has made the old-fashioned money gentlemen sit up. He says: "We pity France because the franc has fallen, but what about our own dollar, of which we are so proud?" It isn't a dollar compared with what it was fifteen years ago; it is THIRTY CENTS. When people say the cost of living has gone up terribly they really mean that the value of the dollar has gone down. Men that tie up real estate on long leases are giving away their equity. What looks like a big rent today will be small ten years hence, the dollar will be worth less, the land will be worth more. Many has been going down steadily from the days of Queen Elizabeth, and before, until now. In many public schools radios will be installed, and "free lectures," many tiresome and boring, will be curtailed. That's a step in the direction of common sense. With the radio, the most interesting learner with something to say, knowing how to interact young minds, can be engaged to talk to a million school children. One great service of the radio will be the elimination of second-class ability, and the substitution for it of real power everywhere. "If a holdup man faces you with his automatic," says a wise detective, "stick them up" promptly, when he tells you to. Don't seem nervous, or HE will get nervous and perhaps shoot, bandits being usually nervous. Be polite, hand over your valuables—that is better than being killed. Study the man's face carefully, that you may know him again if he should be caught." Almost anybody, at almost any time, may look down the barrel of a gun in these holdin days—so the advice is valuable. Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines M.D. WARM WEATHER DIET. What is put into the body in the heated season, is of vastly more importance than what is worn on the outside. Normally, the body requires about one-third as much nourishment in summer as in winter. The unemployed or sedentary class needs about one-third as much as those at hard labor. Rules none the less important because simple. Warm weather favors the propagation of bacteria. Your can of fruit or vegetables, opened fresh in the morning may swarm with invisible disease germs at eventida, if left on a pantry shelf. Watch your left-overs. All meats should be cooked thoroughly in summer. Be careful where you "park" the cold boiled ham. Fruits are safer cooked. Apple-sauce and crisp bacon are always safe. Meat and eggs are valuable—once a day. Cool drinks are enjoyable always, ice-water being the chief offender if over-indulged; remember, there are five times as many appendicitis cases in August as in December. Ice-water chills the digestive tract and allows germ to multiply. Fresh melon may be indulged at pleasure. Cooked cereals make good breakfasts. Coarse, brown breads and good butter are staples. Sweets should be taken sparingly, if at all. Fancy cakes with elaborate frostings are better postponed until winter. Citrus fruits are ideal for warm weather, and are seldom contaminated. Be wary of "wounded" bananas. Lastly, if you want to make your little tot sick, supply him well with salted peanuts and follow with ice-cream cones. Pop-corn, however, is rarely harmful.

BROOKE, hardware magnate and widower, contracts to have an efficiency enclave, holds for a period of two months that he will be out of the city, he calls to inform his three children, to inform William and Alice, about his plans. H. HEDGE, assigned to the job, breaks the news to the nat- tive, who is the proxy under which he is oper- ting is also read to the serv- ants. Hedge has taken over her home, and she has now governed the house- hold about 15 hours, including time taken out for sleep. She also has the Hedge are together for the ground time at the breakfast table. NOW GO ON WITH THE SHOW HEDGE was looking at some- thing that Horace, the butter, had placed before him. "Come here, Horace," he com- manded sharply. Horace returned, welling circums- pectly and scientifically. "What are those things?" demand- ed H. Hedge. "They're great," volunteered Ellie. "Try 'em." The efficiency man ignored the invitation. "What month is this, Horace?" he asked sternly. "December, sir." "You buy strawberries in N. comber?" "Often; yes, sir." "Is that true, Miss Brooke?" "Certainly," she replies, some what sharply. "Why not?" "How much did these strawberries cost?" "If think they're a dollar each half a box, now, sir." Horace. "Well, by the great red of our travagance," exclaimed H. Pushing back his chair and staring once again at the Lucanian host. "How many boxes?" "There were three delivered," said "Four dollars and a half for strawberries—in December! Why that enough money to buy breakfast or this house for a week! Listen, Horace." "Yes, sir." "No more strawberries!" Horace looked doubtfully at his mistress. She was fussing, hurry now, where a few minutes before it had been a token of confusion. "We are permitted," she said coolly, "to eat what food we prefer. If you do not like strawberries, Mr. Hedge, you need not eat them. Horace, you may bring an orange for Mr. Hedge." "The efficiency man held up his hand for silence. "He ordered you will eat what food I order. I should distinctly. "This —" and he pointed at his dish of strawberries—"is the most wanton waste that I have yet wished. I sincerely trust it is not typical." "Oh, but it is," remarked Billy cheerfully. "So much the worse, then. No more strawberries will be purchased for this house until strawberries are in season. Strawberries—in December!" "Constance's eyes were snapping. "We will have them whenever we want them," she declared vehemently. "Not on the house," said H. Hedge. "Not on your father's bank-account. You may have oranges, apples, or prunes until further orders." "Prunes!" shrieked. "Prunes," he reiterated. "California prunes." "I never eat prunes." "Begin, them. They are excellent, healthful and economical." "I won't." "Very well. Apples or oranges, then. Both are nutritious. But I want you to remember that the time, when this household helps to sage." port a high-priced hot-house has expired." The three Brookes exchanged glances. "Horace," said Constance, "you will order and serve strawberries to-morrow morning." "Horace," said the efficiency man, in equally calm tones, "if you order-rd, and serve strawberries tomorrow morning you will pay for them out of your own pocket, after which you will be fired." Horace looked apprehensive at his mistress. The bit he left, but made no further remarks. He ended the final sentence with consternation. The three Brookes gave him a chance for the remainder of the meal. It was poor revenge, perhaps, but they were in no mood for speech. It cheered them none to el T. V. S. O'MN "Does it take four persons to send Alice to school?" serve that the efficiency man ate the strawberries. Out in the hall an immensely garbed maid, Matilda, stood holding Alice's hat and coat and a bundle of school-books. "Hurry, now, Alice; you're here again," chided Corsance. "The car has been waiting ten minutes." Alice flung herself carelessly into a garment of fur jammed in a radish little hat over her rainy hair, school her books and raced toward the door. It was swung open for her by Bloe ace, the butler. Down the front steps of the Brooke mansion she leaped, three at a time, across the pavement in two bounds, and jumped through the open doorway of a masseuse room. A footman closed the door after her, then swung himself into the sledge behind the chauffeur. A second later the fifteen thousand dollar English man torcer was rolling impressively in the avenue. Hedge had followed as far as the front door and saw it all. He watched until the car disappeared around a corner, then recalled to where Constance and Billy were still standing. Does it take four persons to slander a school? He inquired briskly. "Sometimes six or seven," remarked Billy carelessly. "Any question?" Hedge ignored the sorry disguised --- contempt of the inquiry with which Billy tipped his answer. "Now I desire to see you and your sister in the library," he said, and led the way. Constance whispered to her brother, motioned him to follow the efficiency man, and then hurried up stairs to the telephone in her room. Mr. Hedge displayed a surprising amount of patience when, after ten minutes, Constance had not made her appearance in the library. If she felt any annoyance he concealed it. He devoted the interval to the work of examining a pile of papers on the portable Billy Brooke had settled back in a great leather chair and was smoking a pipe. There was a glimmer of amusement in his eyes. Presently Hedge looked across at him. "Perhaps your sister has forgotten I wished to see her," he remarked. "Oh, I guess not," yawned Billy. "Shell come when she gets ready. And then you'll get yours." Constance arrived soo and her brother glanced up expectantly. He was not heartened by the look that he found in her eyes. They were bright, but troubled. Her cheeks were her rider than they had been 10 minutes earlier. She spread on a helpless gesture and her heart slowly. "I'm billy," she half-whis unmistakable anxiety in attracted the attention who studied the brother pain interest. They the moment to be oblivious to them. No way in a hurd. No way in a hurd. No way in a hurd. "Let's have the company, first," I said. "They confirm-ded them. They must be father's office. They should be gone away and didn't know where, or if they do know they won't which is just as bad." "Tay the lawyers?" "Constance nodded. 'They know that a man was to be sent here,' she said weevily, 'and say that father entered it. And they said they would only communicate with him in a matter of life or death. Those are his orders, too." "Billy Brooke groaned. 'But Comie—what the blazes are going to do?' At this point the efficiency man-made entrance into the conversation. 'You'll do as your father wishes, of course,' he said. 'It's the only thing you can do. It's the only sensible thing to do. These are his orders, that's all. Thank you, Miss Brooke, for having satisfied yourself and your brother that I am possessed of full authority. Now, we'll talk business.' Billy looked doubtfully to his sister. She met the situation by sitting down and waiting for Hedge to begin. "And speaking of business," observed Hedge, turning a steady gaze upon Billy, "what's yours?" "Mine?" "Certainly. When do you go to work, and where?" "I don't go," drawled Billy. "Is it a fact that this grown man does not work?" demanded Hedge, his question addressed to the girl, for the first time since his entrance into the house the efficiency man showed symptoms of emotion. Constance was silent for an instant. In nearly all things she was a stunning champion of her brother. In this she was not. She was not proud of him as an iller. "My brother does not work," she answered in a low voice. "How old are you?" asked Hedge, turning again to Billy. "Twenty-two, if that's any satisfaction to you." Billy's attempt to display indif- ference was poorly executed. "Sick?" "Do I look it?" He did not look sick. He was very healthy—and very uncomfortable.

EVER "Within Prison Walls." Wins Fame Behind Prison WallsRemarkable Experience of a Brilliant Colored Man. COL. P.A. MOORE AND A FAIR TRAIL RIDER ONE OF THE BUNGALOWS IGHT By An Insider (Reprint and publishing rights re served exclusively by the author.) "WITHIN PRISON WALLS." (Editor's Note: "Within 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 rarely, if ever, disclosed to the public.) (Continued from last week.) It might be interesting here to digress and tell the story of my printer for a more novel one never appeared in reality or the brain-child of a fiction writer. For his own protection we will call him Mellow which is a slight variation of his real name. Mellow had been in Jackson Prison. He had been in charge of the print shop there. I have referred previously how he had been assaulted. He either secured his liberty as a result of same or was later transferred to Marquette in any case he arrived shortly after I did. Personally I had nothing against the man. ETHICS DIFFERED His ethics and mine differed somewhat but then he was entitled to his own defense. In any case he found himself in Marquette with his reputation preceding him which made him a marked character there. I knew him to be an expert printer and engraver and I had use for such a man. He was broke and was glad to have some one take him up. I did. Had him moved next to me. Bought a small printing press, also a duplicating machine for him to operate. He confided his own plans in me and asked me to stake him on a patent he had. Unfortunately I was unable to go outside of my own business for investment as my finances did not permit but I did agree to allow him a very liberal rate for all the work he did for me and also allow him the use of my organization, including particularly my draughtsman, in exchange for his services. A FIFTH INTEREST He also agreed, to give me a fifth interest in his patent. This however I did not insist upon and when I made my written agreement with him purposely left out for his services were worth to me all that I had barga'ned to give him. We worked along for several months and his "Yo-ho!" Said the TAKAKKAW FALLS, 1000 Ft. HIGH One of the outstanding beauty spots of the Canadian Pacific Rockies is the famous Yoho Valley in which there is a very comfortable bungalow camp facing Takakkaw Falls, a spectacular wall of water which leaps 1,000 feet from Daly Glacier on the mountain tops to join the turbulent Kicking Horse on its way westward. Tradition has it that the first Indians who saw this valley excclaimed "Yo-hol" an ejaculation expressing astonishment. They named the falls Takakkaw, which means "it is wonderful". Day and night the song of Takakkaw is like the rumble of distant thunder lulling one to refreshing sleep when the day's trail riding is over.

Thirteen years ago two 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.
