THE RICHMOND PLANET VIRGINIA MAR 28 1929 STATE LIBRARY SAM STEVENSON KILLS HIS WIFE FANNY. BADLY BEATEN AND SHOT. Bullet Fired Causes Instant Death--Witnesses in Both Cases Testify in Court--Gruesome Stories. First Degree Murder-Jas. Harrison Pleads Guilty VOLUME XLVI. NO. 19 MU SAM S HOLLIS Bullet F First D Twenty (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) Two human beings were ushered into eternity this week and last week as a result of contentions, which in themselves were trivial. Samuel Stevenson beat his wife and then shot her at their residence, $813\frac{1}{2}$ North Sixth Street. The story told is gruesome and revolting. The woman was removed to St. Phillip's Hospital and on Saturday night her soul passed to God who gave it. No reason is assigned for the crime. Just quarreling. Incompatibility of temperaments and whiskey can be assigned as the causes. Hollis Bright (alias "Suitcase") shot and killed George Fountain. Whiskey is said to be the cause of and "bootleg" whiskey at that. On last Wednesday morning the police Court docket read as follows: on dwelling house at $413\frac{1}{2}$ West Baker Street for ardent spirits and found two half pints full of ardent spirits, one half pint bottle, empty, in possession of Hollis Bright, Witnesses: T. G. Walt尔尔, C. C. Eddleton." "Hollis Bright, C., 18. lab., Va., $413\frac{1}{2}$ W. Baker St., did unwlawfully keep and store for purpose of sale spirits at $413\frac{1}{2}$ W. Baker St., in violation of the Virginia State Prohibition law, to-wit, two half pint bottles full of ardent spirits. Witnesses: T. G. Walker, C. C. Eddleton." Another item on the docket read: "Augustus Johnson, C., 29, lab. Va. 417 W. Clay St., did unlawfully and feloniously shoot at the said Malzetta Johnson, his wife, with a pistol with intent to maim, disguise and kill the said Malzetta Johnson, Witnesses; Malzetta Johnson, J. N. Cassell." This is summed up as a case of attempted murder. The testimony of the witnesses in two cases tell the story of taking human lives. The death penalty is inflicted by the colored people themselves for trivial offenses. The churches of the city are working overtime in an effort to convert the wicked. The lawless elements are spending the nights in social revels and lewd advances, while the stream of the white intoxicating corn liquor is doing its work in a way that not even the law can hinder. Outside of increasing taxes and multiplying the number of prohibition officials, nothing is really accomplished. Immorality and crime are in evidence on every hand and the social structure of this section has broken down. Coroner James M. Whitfield held an inquest over George Fountain, who was shot end killed by Hollis Bright alias Suitcase, age 18 years, of 413 112 W. Baker St., Monday March 19th, in his office at the City Hall. Mary Williams testified: "I live at 420 Calhoun St. George Fountain was shot on the 14th of March about 9:25 P. M. just before he ran out between two houses on Baker Street. I was standing in front of 415 W. Baker Street. While I was passing, I heard the report of a pistol. The sound seemed to come from behind the (Continued on page 5) EBENEZER'S CHOIR TO PRESENT EASTER CANTATA.

Hill's Great Efforts Masterly Handling of Subject: 'The Divine Human Face'--The 100 Voice Choir, Madam Jackson the Instructor. (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) I visited the Second Baptist Church last Sunday morning at 11 o'clock and found the choir and chorus assembling. Both were robed in spotless white. I found that since my last visit a few months ago, a complete transformation in the procedure had taken place. When the organ was played and the resonant tones filled every part of the edifice the rhythmic march took place. One part of the chorus, 23 by actual count, with measured step marched down the aisle on the right and the other part, numbering 27 marched down the aisle on the left, while the choir filed into the regular choir gallery. 106 Year Old Colored Preacher. When I looked up again, I saw one section of this white robed throng filing into the regular galery on the right and the other on the left. They took seats opposite the rostrum and the choir gallery. Then they all sang with a voluble mellifluent sweetness. It was a revelation to me. The musical department had full sway for nearly three quarters of an hour, while the strains of sweet music riverbederated on the outside. I had never seen anything like it before in any church in the city. Musical leaflets were in the hands Continued on page 4 REINDEER OFFICIAL HERE. Mrs. Bessie J. Waddell. Noble G.

Will (Continued on page 5) MUSIC AND ANITA PATTI BROWN Music, the science or art of combining sounds so that the result is pleasing to the ear, is what we might call a "universal language." It expresses the sounds of nature, such as the washing of the waves, the sighing of the winds, the murmuring brook, the singing birds, and, too, the unutterable thoughts of man. The longing for melody, harmony, rhythm is satisfied and met with only in music. Music, that forceful art, which has the power to lead noble men to the tray, or lull the infant to sleep; to bring tears to the eyes or laughter to the surface; music is always a power! When principalities and powers have passed away, music will still be remembered. No one can forget Mozart, Paderowski, Schumann-Heinck, "Black Patti" Caruso, Roland Hayes or Anita Patti Brown. The latter are still singing immortal messages. Anita Patti Brown with her remarkable talent and technique has sung in most European countries before critics, who pronounce her a "genius." In the Indies she is known as a woman of "unprecedented fame." In North and South America she is recognized as a woman of "trade, technique." Madame Brown is giving only one public recital in Richmond. She will be presented to the music lovers of Richmond by and at the Fourth Baptist Church, Twenty-eighth and "P" Streets, Wednesday, March 27th, at 8 P. M. Seats are 50 and 75 cents; children, 35 cents. You cannot miss this great opportunity. Rev. F. W. Williams, pastor, says he expects a capacity crowd. SHUX!

Eating the mythical "pound of dirt" seems to hold no physical dangers to the normal child. It is no task to accomplish this end, with no wringer to feed—no hand rubbing. "Only a little care should be taken in retaining the gay colors worn by youngsters today," says S. H. Alterter manufacturer of the ABC washing machines. "Garments should be washed in warm, out not too suds and dried in the sunlight, not in the sunning. Washing is paid on most fabrics. Woolen is bianca-sweaters and the like; sheep, their shape and are fluffier when the sweats and rime water are swished out and gently squeezed dry by centrifugal force." But mud-pie days have always been a constant bug-a-boo to the mother who would keep the child presentable in their wild romps and curious make-up games' little boys and girls pick out new dresses in ten minutes than grown-ups dress in them. Even nursery games are dirt smanchers. Now invention has come to the mother's rescue. Keeping young America spice and span has been greatly aided by labor-saving devices. Like true washing machines are ending the worms of proud mothers who want their progeny perpetually immaculate. Less than an hour's time with the spinner and a teacher supplies the children with fresh looking at all time. So say the hygiene experts, let the children have their fun.

Some claim that, inch for inch and pound for pound, the small mouth black bass is the gamest fish that swims; others equally enthused by the species' fierce trout, while still an enduring fraternity claim that the salmon puts up as noble a battle for liberty as any game fish extant. All are agreed however, that the muscalunge, sometimes called the "fresh water tiger" is one of the greatest fighters known to anglers, and that he will put up a battle roar when attached to a business boat as a productive muscalunge in North America is French League School for Stage Elizabeth Bowman, 19, member of Boston's most exclusive social set, has left an exclusive school to make her debut on the stage.

One President names his successor and then kills or brings about the killing of the other candidates who oppose him. It has become a custom handed down through the ages The Prohibitionists believe in having the government appropriate more money for the enforcement of prohibition. It tends to multiply the office-holders and lessen the number of boot-leggers by putting them in jail. As soon as they get out they proceed to sell liquor again. In the meantime other crimes are on the increase and the punishment therefor lessened. Colored people complain of hard times but they do not show it on their faces. They know how to do without one meal a day in order to have a good time and they know also how to double up in rooming space for the same reason.

Hill (Continued from page 1.) of the singers, and Rev. Dr. Joseph T. Hill occupying the centre chair on the rostrum joined in with his rich barbone voice, adding to the throng of voices that sing with full volume the magnificent selections which had been chosen for the mourning entertainment. I thought and still believe that his remarkably trumpet singer was the musical director of that choir, although that wonderful product of the Boston Conservatory of Music, Madame Minnie Jackson, who was a former pupil of his was working under his direction. THE DIVINE HUMAN FACE. Then followed the sermon, the subject being, "The Devine Human Face." Text II Corinthians 4:6. I have heard Rev. Joseph T. Hill, D. D., the pastor several times' but never in all my experience have the full force and effect of a sermon, both as to subject matter, logical and oratorical effect been so apparent as upon this occasion. He told of the human face, the phrenological description of the head, the traces of heredity in a human be.ng. The hand, in which the fortune teller could read the portrayal of the future was commented upon. He described just how, by the exercise of will power these traits could be controlled and modified. The character is just what we are; the reputation is what the public believes us to be. He warned of the necessity of conserving our reputation and not to put one's self in a position where people would form erroneous bad impressions concerning us. He declared that we could overcome and change our traits by the exercise of will power, but the human face would show to those who were able to read character therein just what we are. He declared that every man should assume the responsibilities of matrimonial life. It was an experience that should be faced and a man who would not marry was a coward. He looked over the congregation and remarked "Girls, I am helping you now." His description of the scene when Christ wrote upon the ground was realistic. He said the reason for the men in high places leaving was that He was writing the happenings in their own lives. When they read this, they hastened away and left the woman alone with no one to accuse her. It is impossible to describe in detail the deliverances and utterances of the s great Baptist preacher. I had looked over the church at the "sea" or faces and in the galleries on either side, where many were standing. Then he called up the members of other churches who were present as visitors and he thanked and welcomed them to come again. He had in the gallery with one chorus a cornet and a trombone and in the other a melophone. He had even the clerk, W. S. Banks, in the vestments of the choir singing and he read the church notices from that vantage point. Moderator E. F. Johnson and Chairman A. Washington evidently escaped similar treatment only because their voices were made for speaking and not for singing. As for Preacher Joseph T. Hill he heartily enjoyed singing himself with his choir, for he has a reputation of years standing for his vocal ability, the musical euphony of which may be observed in his transcendent oratory.

The cases of Charles Hudnall and Walter Hudnall, charged with needling oysters in this city without a city license, was heard in the Police Court last Tuesday morning, with Judge T. Gray Haddon presiding. His Honor had previously ruled that under the State law there was nothing to prevent the accused from selling their oysters here, provided they were the product of their own planting. They were rearrested under the city ordinance, claiming that a tax must be paid to the city for the privilege. Attorney James T. Carter put up one of the ablest legal arguments ever heard in the court room. Assistant City Attorney Cary represented the other side and insisted that the men could not paddle oysters here without obtaining a city license so to &o. Judge T. Gray Hudnall finally decided to impose the minimum fine of $5.00, and expressed the hope that Attorney Carter would take an appeal and have the matter decided. The argument is expected to take place early in April before Judge John L. Ingram of the Hustings Court of this city. There is a strong feeling among the legal fraternity that Attorney Carter is right in his contention. He cited many authorities to support his plea and quoted decisions handed down from the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia, which had a strong bearing upon the questions at issue. WAKEFIELD, VA.

Leave JACK JOHNSON'S OWN STORY OF HIS GREAT FIGHT WITH JESS WILLARD at Havana SOLD OUT AND DID NOT TRAIN===DOUBLE=CROSSED BY HIS BACKERS. (Continued from Last Week) Jack Johnson describes his wanderings over Europe and his longing to return home after he had left this country to escape punishment under the indictment that his enemies had secured against him under the White Slave Act, that is, the carrying of a female from one State to another for immoral purposes. He says: Definite arrangements for my fight with Willard began when Jack Curley came to London to talk over with me. The selection of Willard came about in the process of hunting the "white horse". The result of the white horse that search, which has been carried on so intensely and bitterly that it had caused me much trouble and sorrow, because of the persecution to which she was subjected. On his arrival in London, Curley asked me if I meant business in meeting Willard. Meant Business I told him I certainly did and that he would not find it difficult to make terms with me. The first night of Curley's stay in London we visited the Coliseum, where Oscar and Lillie Braton were appearing. We did not talk shop that night. The next day we went to lunch and the preliaries began, and in the evening at dinner we began to talk more freely. I told Curley to put all the cards on the table and to deal from the top of the deck. I had known him for a long time. We had been close friends and had met in previous mutually satisfactory business deals. Had Stood By Him At one time in my life, when I was in serious trouble, he had stood loyally by me. As a result of this, I had the utmost confidence in him. He frankly told me that if I lost the fight to Willard I could return to the United States without being molested. He said that I would be able to engage in a prosperous occupation and would gain new friends and please old acquaintances, who were anxious to see me comfortably and peacefully settled down at home. These hints are inducements, of course, but the greatest inducement of all was the opportunity it offered me to see my mother, for all who know me and who have read about me know that whatever other failings I may have had, the love I had for my mother was so deep and sincere that I would have done anything to end the separation between Explained Chances After Curley had talked a while, explaining the chances I would have and mentioning my mother several times, I became more anxious than ever to get back home. After that first conversation with him, I did not care any more for the title of world's champion than a child does for the stick from which the lollipop has vanished. In fact, I despised it. Curley explained that Frazee and Webber, amusement park owners were associated with him in arranging with me to meet Willard. The fight, he said, would be need in Juarez, Mexico, and Villa, the revolutionary handit leader, who then controlled northern Mexico would finance the fight. Chloe Willard Championship Curley remained in London a week earlier when he departed we had to be on gingerneen, as so he I was concerned, which would give me to return home. He gave me suff- mages from money to delivery transfor- mation expenses to Needham, and I nee- d about making preparation for wintu- ing to the scene of the proposed fight. I did not tell my wife or our nephew, that I had agreed to lose the fight but pretened that I had entered into the deal with the hope and expectation of winning. Left London Taking our leave of London, we wearied for kio de janeiro early in 1814. We made a brief stay on our arrival at the South American port and then departed for Buenos Aires, where we remained for six weeks, and where I put on several boxing exhibitions. When it came time for us to leave the latter city, we found great difficulty in a running passage for a trip back to Janeiro, and after much search were compelled to board a freight vessel, which took us to Barbados in the West Indies, where my party remained three weeks and where I did much exhibition boxing and made many friends. Owners Would Not Take Risk It was our intention to go from Barbados to Vera Cruz or Tampico, Mexico, but owners of vessels and crews were dubious about venturing far out to sea, because of the submarine danger, which they believed existed because of Germany's threats to carry on "ruthless sea warfare." We finally persuaded the owner of a small sailing vessel to attempt a trip to Barbados, where we reached after a hazardous trip, during which we were driven by a gale and nearly wrecked. After I reached Havana I learned from the newspapers that it was the intention of Carranza, president of Mexico, to capture me if I sought to land either at Vera Cruz or Tampico and turn WELCOME TO THE WORLD WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP. THE FIGHTERS ARE IN A FULL FIGHT. THE WINNER IS THE ONE WHO WINS. THE WINNER IS THE ONE WHO WINS. THE WINNER IS THE ONE WHO WINS. THE WINNER IS THE ONE WHO WINS. me over to the United States authorities, whereupon I got into communication with Curley, who had gone to Juarez to arrange for the Came to Havana After several cable messages I induced him to come to Havana. Upon his arrival I explained my predicament and sought to have the scene of the Willard fight changed to Havana, because I was eager to go through with my part of the bargain. Then I intended to surrender to the United States, but I did not wish to risk capture by Carranza, because I foresaw that such a circumstance would involve me in official red tape and delays, which would not be contended. On his arrival in Havana, Curley said that Frazee, Wibble, and himself had made arrangements for me to return to the United States, if I lost to Willard, but first I was to take the films of the fight and exhibit them in South America and Europe, which sections of the globe were to be my exclusive territory. Collected the Money I collected the fight percentage due me just before the fight, but an additional percentage which Willard's managers owed me if I lived up to my agreement to lie down was not paid until the fight was almost over. They tried hard to renge on payments to me and even went so far as to try and deprive me of the films, which were to be given me, according to contract. Pictures of the fight were made by Mace, and when I learned that the situation was not one for my return to the United States, I immediately left Havana for London. I was told when my boat was ready to leave that the films were not in readiness, but that they would be sent to me in London because they were finished. I waited for the pictures several weeks and when they did not a arrive I used to Curley asking why they had not been sent. Cabled Inguities He replied that they were on the way. I watched eagerly for their activity and when they did find that they were seated and filled that they were blank—that they had seen on a spool. I cabled demanding an explanation and in reply was told that the deception or mistake was due to Mace, the maker of the films. This turn of affairs enraged me and I started other inquiries by cable, the result of which, among other things, brought me the information that Curley and his associates had made no move whatever to provide for my return to the United States. The failure of the films to arrive had not caused me to lose faith in my supposed friends. A Raw Deal I tried to believe in them and to charge the delay in the films to other causes, but when I found that they had not kept their word in paving the way for me to return home, I became not only cognizant of the fact that I had been film-flammed, but I was up against a pretty raw deal, therefore I kept silent, but was not inactive. Inquiring at the office of the American Express Company, I noticed that the heist in Willard-Johnson was being shipped to London from the United States. I knew that some plot was under way and I hired detectives to trace and watch the shipment. When it arrived I stayed close around the express company's office, knowing Parade of Pugilists A Jack Johnson's Golden Smile that some one would call for it. I was not mistaken in this. A young man, named A. Weil, who now lives in Chicago, appeared on the scene to claim the films. When they were transferred to him I snatched them from him and obtained possession, the not until after a heated argument and various attempts to get them from me had taken place. I contracted with Barker & Co., one of the largest film firms in England, to make prints of the films, and these I put on exhibition throughout England. I also sold the rights to the pictures to a South American company, and with the proceeds from this sale and the display of the pictures in the United Kingdom, was able to realize very satisfactory returns—returns which were ample enough to make me feel somewhat repaid for the manner in which Curley and his partners had bliked me. The Horse Act I also sold the Australian rights to THE RICHMOND PLANFT, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA the pictures to Rufe Nailor. Preceding the fight with Willard I did no serious training. I engaged in a few boxing exhibitions and did a few "strong man" stunts, such as pulling against horses and permitting a horse to stand on my stomach. This was about the extent of my training.

Then Fountain came running out and fell in the gutter. "He was breathing when I went to him. He died in the gutter. A voice said: 'I told you to stay away from round here, didn't I?' The voice sounded to me like that of Hollis Bright, sometimes called Suitcase." Otelia Taylor said: "I live at 415 W. Baker Street. I was in the house, after 9 o'clock. I was fixing to lie down and I heard somebody holler! 'Suitcase! Suit case!' I looked out the front door and I saw the man lying in the street. Somebody said. 'Suitcase came out your sideway and had gone running down the street. I did not see the shooting. I heard no disturbance before the shooting. The soundedounded like it was in my back yard.

THE KILLING OF FANNIE STEVENSON Charley Harkness said: "I live at 603 Crouch St. I work at the C. and O. shops, Seventeenth Street. Sam Stevenson came to my house about 5 o'clock Thursday morning, 14th first, and told his sister that he had shot Fannie. I heard him. My wife's name is Bessie Harkness. She asked him what he shot her for? He said that she was after him with an ice pick and he wasn't going to let her kill him. He said he shot her in the head. She was on the others and he wanted to go to get there and see about him. He met me to see how she was getting along. I told him I wasn't going to get in trouble. He shot her. He should go back and see about her. After he asked his sister for a match, he left "My wife and I went on there to see about it. We went there, but could not get anybody to answer. I said to my wife that there was nothing about it. I did not believe it. I went on to go to work. I had not gone far when my wife came on after me and told me that it was so. He had been drinking the denatured stuff called 'naked man'. I think he had been drinking but I did not smell any whiskey on him when he came to my house." Bessie Harkness said: "Charley Harkness is my husband and Sam Stevenson is my brother. I do not know anything about it more than that Sam Stevenson came into my house Thursday morning 14th inst. and told me that he had shot his wife through the head. She was after him with an ice pick. He did not tell me what he shot her about. I wouldn't let him tell me. "He told my husband to give him some money. He told him he didn't have any. He then said, 'Give me a match.' He got the match and then went on. He asked both of us to go. We got up and went on around there about 7 o'clock. He came to our house at about 5 o'clock. A girl by the name of Rosa finally came to the door and let me in and told me that she thought Sam was in there. "He lived in the front room. Sam opened the door. He had the lamp in his hand. His wife was lying on the bed bloody. I ran to Baker Street to overtake my husband. He said, 'Call the ambulance.' I asked him what was the matter. He said his wife had been out and had come in hurt. He said he didn't do it. The ambulance came and got her. I called her. She answered and she said, 'Sam hit me.' Jesse Proffit was in the room." Thomas Bennett 813 N. Sixth Street said, "I heard them quarrel ing." The case was set for a hearing March 22nd. James Harrison, who on Wednesday, February 20, 1929, cut Harry Jackson to death in a tobacco factory at the Allen & Ginter branch, pleaded guilty to first degree murder Tuesday, March 19th, and was sentenced by Judge John L.

A charming effect can be obtained with walls tinted the softest shade of gray and rug of plain gray in a deeper harmonizing shade. Then paint the furniture pale French gray with a soft shade of blue wiped into the carving. For draperies and spreads use taffetta in a watermelon pink tone with tiny rushing of turquoise blue for trimming. Or one of the mercerized cotton taffetas in these shades would be effective. Slip-overs for upholstered chair or chair could be of cloth having a soft turquoise blue background and a classic pattern in gray. For side chairs use taffetta cushions in watermelon pink.

This type of skin is often possessed by people who are older, more. And many do not seem to realize the importance of counteracting this condition before the evil becomes so deeply rooted that it requires just that much additional effort and care to get it back to normal. It is a great pity to behold women of perhaps thirty-five, forty or forty-five years of age—able to afford the best the world offers in clothes and all the luxuries dear to the feminine heart, appearing in public dressed in the height of fashion—yet with skin that are yellow and bloody. The entire appearance is spoiled by a poor complexion. For no matter how smart the rock or the loosest the charm if the weaker's skin shows plainly the marks of neglect. The sluggish skin is the skin that is sub-normal in its ability to throw off its own impurities, which function is the "active skin"'s secret of beauty. An "active skin" responds at once to fresh air, even to very cold air, and brighten and glow under its influence while an inactive skin either remains unaffected or becomes American Furs Rate Durab VALUABLE CATCH OF AMERICAN FURS American furs, such as muskrat, skunk, mink, raccoon, otter, beaver, wolf and badger, are the most durable of the world's furs, and they have grown in popularity, until today they are more popular than ever before. The woman who buys a coat made of American furs gets her money's worth not only in style, lustre and beauty, but in quality, serviceability and durability. Stanley T. Keshen, vice-president of A. B. Shubert, Inc., Chicago, the largest house in the world dealing exclusively in American raw furs, said recently. "The lasting and wearing qualities of American raw pellet have been proved and the durable manufactured skins are the utmost in fur value. In fact, we, who make it our business to secure the raw fur furs from trappers and hunters, cannot receive too many of the skins, so great is public demand for them." Prior to the great war, muskratse were sent from this country to Europe to be seal-dyed into what is known as "Hudson seal."

The sub-normal, inactive skin which, as I said before, troubles so many women, must be stimulated by the use of extraneous acids, and much more strenuous methods are necessary for it than for the normal, active skin. The stimulating creams must be still more active, also the lotions and astringents. Most important of all there must be a constant daily and even sometimes daily application of stimulating preparation which contains certain ingredients which that whip the blood to the face with the utmost rapidity—and then, massage. The necessary massage includes vigorous slapping and vibrating of the face. For those who have not the perseverance or patience to do this with their own hands, or cannot place themselves in the care of an expert for treatments, assistance may be obtained by using an electric vibrator. There is, strictly speaking, no rest for the woman who possesses a sluggish skin. She must be ever on the alert to provide stimulation, activity, never allowing the complexion to relapse into unwholesome ways.

Nearly four-fifths of the collections of American skunks were marketed in Europe are the great conflict plunged the nations into turmoil, but during those four years of battle, American fur dealers had to find an outlet for their skunk fur at home. The American woman was educated to appreciate the beauty and durability of skunks, and today this fur is sold under its own name and the great bulk of it marketed in this country, although Europe again has resumed use of it. Commanding good prices, skunks are much sought after by hunters and trappers, who earn excellent living from their efforts at securing the raw pelts which go into articles of apparel manufactured from skunk.

Oil Burner Helps Out In Florida Gr THE WIZARD Practically all religions reckon on a life in the future. The spirit in man is eternal and it is only the earthly body that dies. Since each one must journey along this highway, regardless of his personal belief, it is with great interest that we turn to the Scripture references that are indicated for study today. They are Matthew 25:31-46 Mark 12:26-27; Luke 24:1-12; John 14:1-6; 1 Corinthians 15:3-20,50-58; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 22:1-5. As you read these selections note the references in the margin and you will find many additional details. The events of that first Easter can be learned by reading the records in the Gospels. Certain women came early on the first day of the week to complete the embalming of His body, for there was not time for this after the entombing as the Jewish Sabbath began with sun down. They wondered how that heavy stone could be rolled back but God provided the way long before it was needed. We, too, are inclined to worry much about things that will resolve themselves in advance of our needs. Angels had many items of service during the earthly life of Jesus and now a heavenly messenger tells them that they are in the wrong place to accomplish their quest. No living soul has ever been entombed and it is useless to seek a person where there is only a dead body. Soon He appeared to them and to the disciples. It was in the upper room on the previous Thursday that He gave them most comforting truths and told them plainly of the future life. Read the entire discourse in John 14, 15, 16, and then follow through that comprehensive prayer in chapter 17. "Let not your heart be troubled" was supported by a statement of His purpose in their behalf. He would prepare a place and in time come for them. An expressive name for Heaven is the Home Land of the Soul. It is a place as well as a state. Conditions there are given under far-reaching similes in Revelation. Heaven will be blessed even because of what is not there. No pain sin, sorrow, separation, tears any more. "And they shall see His face." Now add the positive elements of joy, service, worship and a clear conscience forever. In the Old Testament the lamb is a type of Christ. By as much as He is greater than a lamb, by so much is Heaven beyond the types of golden streets and gates of precious stones. Our concern is to obey the Golden text: "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give the crown of life." 20 Florida, land of semi-tropical climate and vegetation, buys oil burners! Towering palm trees, gorgeous, strange plants and flowers, grow wild on every side in the sunny peninsula. Everyone lives outdoors through long, lazy, balmy days. Seemingly there is more need to escape warmth than to seek it. But many oil burners are sold in America's popular winter resort towns, for two reasons. They are used to produce hot water in the homes and they give warmth, extra warmth, to the greenhouses where special plants and vegetables are cultivated. When Thomas A. Edison went to his winter residence at Fort Myers, Fla. he telegraphed to Bloomington, Ill. for an oil burner of special new design, to heat his Florida home. The Dist-C-Matte is a small company. HeartHeart TALK BY JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M.D. On the wall near my desk, hangs a first-rate picture of Colonel Lindbergh—America's Lindbergh. I keep it hanging there because it lends me inspiration. This mere boy ranks with the world's greatest men—and bravest. Many youths pass my door during the day. They seem to possess the same physical equipment as my air hero—and many of them look more robust than he; but I do not know the names of the youths that pass my door; they may not have tried to do any very big things. Not that there aren't big things waiting to be done—not that; these boys here just haven't stopped to take an invoice of their capabilities. And, I doubt if they have ever thought seriously of doing things that would make the best people in America applaud them. I have heard that this Lindbergh boy is very devoted to his mother: Just that one little thing, which any boy can accomplish without much effort, sets me to praising him with all my might. One thing; I never knew a boy who really adored his mother, who wasn't worthy to stand before the King. This Lindbergh face is my inspiration. It seems to say "Onward—Upward." There are a thousand paths to fame aside from the air and the marvellous flight therein. Every human brain is a storehouse of unparalleled energy. What an example to others of our youth, is this Lindbergh! "Let's go—let's go." the picture seems to be saying. Ah, the dauntless bravery—the boundless courage depicted here! I wouldn't part with this picture for any reasonable sum. But there are those who look at a portrait time and again and never see it.

They look like birds' eggs, but they are not. In many respects, Miss Jones will tell you, a chocolate rabbit is better than a doll, because you can eat a chocolate rabbit and it won't hurt you and it's full of vitamins. In eating an egg, you can begin to begin with the ears. After that, it's not so hard. It does seem a bit ungrateful, though, when Peter Rabbit lays such pretty eggs. According to Theodore W. Bunte, candy manufacturer, America's candy Easter egg crop this year will be something like 60,000,000 pounds, in which case, it is probable that the growups will have to help eat them. Wise mothers realize the fact that candy eggs, as candy rabbits provide the little ones with gourmet-giving food which makes them grow. A. MME, HELENA RUBINSTEIN NEW YORK—Attention gentlemen! If you want to support a clinging vine through life, invite a pail, thin-skinned maiden to be your wife, independent other half, talk marriage to one whose camellia-like cheeks are as tough as the hide of a baby rhinoc. Matrimonially-inclined Romeos, in the opinion of Mme. Helena Rubinstein, beauty authority of London, Paris, and New York, may safely select their Julietls by their skin. "Thim, transparent skin," said Mme. Rubinstein, "indicates a highly emotional person of great cerebral capacity but with a tendency towards 'nerves.' Thick skin of camellia-like clearness, bespeaks a wholesome, well-balanced woman. Muddy skin reveals a mentally sluggish person. You dry, white skin, a dreamer. Course red, ephepus skin is usually accompanied by stuidity. "With cheeks as an index to character, the woman of tomorrow may consider beauty only skin deep.

The last official duty of little Jackie Walker, six-year-old air diplomat of Oakland, was to assist in the dedication of Oakland's newest air sign, atop the plant of Montgomery Ward Co., one of the strategic points in the city. After Jackie had found the new luminus "Oakland" sign, draped bouquet in dedication, he received his honorable discharge from the diplomatic service, flying over the United States, from Herbert Hoover. A distinguished group of California's citizens, piloted by Major Livingston Irving, one of the fliers to make the successful trip to Hawaii, circled over the gigantic new sign, in dedication ceremonies recently. An air sign to serve as a guide to nature and their training to look out for children and old people—and men too. It's been our job since before the flood.

MIAMI HAS MOST UNIQUE GIRLS' SCHOOL A DANCE RHAPSODY UNDER SUNNY SKIES OUTDOOR SWIMMING POOL A KINDERGARTEN CLASS --- COW MILKING TABLE. STAND OR RUN YOU'RE SHOT. IN OFFER FOR COOLIDGE. A GIFT TO MRS. COOLIDGE. Farmers will be interested in the "bitty cow milking table." The information comes from Dr. J. H. McNail, Chief of the New Jersey Bureau of Animal Industry. The milking table is devised by the Walker Gordon Company's New Jersey milk farm. It is a beginning of industrial methods applied to milk production. A huge table like a small "round house" with fifty absolutely clean cow stalls on it, is made to revolve, slowly. The cows walk on and off, while the table is in motion, and soon get used to the new idea. To each cow an electrical milking device is attached as it enters its stall. At the end of one complete table turning, the cow, milked and "stripped," walks off the table at the spot where it walked on, and is immediately fed. Feed your cows always after milking. Feeding before milking taints the milk. Cows like the milk mass production idea, the relief of milking, followed by the pleasure of eating, makes a pleasant combination. The Walker Gordon Company, milking fifteen hundred cows in one of its stables, can use several tables. Farmers may take their cows to co-operative milking lines, like the production line in an automobile factory. Workmen will stand still, cows lowly passing them, one man clean of them free of dust by vacuum cleaner, made by Mr. Woolley of the American Radiator Company. Another man would wash the cows' udders, another apply the milking machinery, another meet the milked cow, walking off the line to her dinner. Such a plan, taking the cow to the man, would put milk farming on a modern industrial basis. The average milk farmer would like to get thirty cents a quart for his milk as Walker Gordon does, instead of $180 for 100 pounds of milk that is another problem. days of widespread difficulty to know and still or run.

GERARD Henry Lagowitz, seventeen, innocent of evil, coming out of his aunt's house, saw a "plain clothes" detective who for some reason didn't like his looks and told him to stop. He thought it was a highwayman, and ran. On general principles, the detective shot him. He will recover. On the high road a man raises his hand, orders a driver to stop. The driver has two guesses. He may be stopped by a highwayman, intent on robbing him, or by a virtuous prohibition enforcement officer, investigating. The wise thing is to stop and save your life, for in either case you run the risk of being shot. Mr. Mills, able advertising man, wishes you to know that he has offered President Coolidge $75,000 a year for four years, to act as general director of a home-furnishing movement.

"MY DEAR, DEAR UNCLE: I am inclined to scold you for your letter, for it made me very sad. Why? Because be so sure of dying that is the vengeance. You are not very old, and I can nurse you even as I did before. Think how lonely I should be without you. No, you must not think of leaves." ing me. I torbid it! It is morbid. Banish that fancy for my sake, and try and think of a quiet happy life together, away in some southern city, where the sea and the sky are blue, and the sun is warm, and the breezes are soft and laden with the perfume of sweet flowers. We would never live in this country, would we? I do not like it. It is cold and damp, and it chills me, chills my heart. Oh! I know just the life we could live together, and be very, very happy. Write to me no more of death. "I am quite settled down here, waiting. My duties are light, and I do not find them irksome. Every day I realize that I did well in coming here as a governess, and not as one seeking a home. They think that it is because of my pride that I have willed it so. They do not know. "Lady St. Maurice tries to be kind to me in her way; but when the honeyed words are upon her lips, I think of you and my heart is steel. She must have been a very beautiful woman—nay, she is beautiful now! You asked me in your first letter to watch and to tell you whether they were happy together. You asked me, and I tell you the truth. "Yes! I think that of all the women whom I have ever seen, her life seems to have flown along, the most calmly and peacefully. I have never seen a cloud upon her brow; I hate her for it. She has no right to be happy; she who by such treachery condemned you to a living death. Once my anger rose up so fiercely that I nearly struck her, and I had to hurry from the room I should betray myself before the time. Truly she deserves punishment, and my hand shall not sarkink from inflicting it. "Yet, after all, is death the most complete form of punishment. Sometimes I doubt it. I would mar the beauty of her face for ever, and laugh. I would strike her blind gladly; I would make her a cripple for life, without remorse, without hesitation. To see her suffer would please me. I should have no pity!" "But death, uncle! If anything of our religion be true, would death be so terrible a thing? Against my will I see that her life is good. She has made her home what it should be, and her husband happy. She is a devoted Christian, and, wet or fine, every Sunday morning before breakfast, she goes to the little church in the village and knees before the altar. She visits the sick and the poor, and they love her. For me, religion has become something of a dream. I was brought up a Roman Catholic. What I am now I do not know! When I vowed my life to its present purpose I filled it with new thoughts; I put my religion away from me. I could not kneel with hate in my heart; I could not confess, with the desire to kill in my bosom. "Yet let that pass.

"At last," Paschul did not recognize me and it was long before I could make him believe that I was indeed that most unfortunate of men, Leonardo di Marioni. But when he was convinced, he promised me what I sought. That same evening he gave "I turned aside into an old curio shop to buy some trifle for you which took my fancy, and it was Paschuli himself who served me." "T curi for and who "I turned aside into an old curio shop to buy some trifle for you which took my fancy, and it was Paschuli himself who served me." --- --- heaven? And if so, what of our vengeance? Death is swift! What will she suffer? It will be those who are left behind who will feel the pain; for her, there will be a happiness beyond even the happiness of earth. She will be shivered of her sin by our vengeance. "Think of this, my dear uncle! Do not imagine that I am growing faint; do not imagine that I am drawn; back from the task which I now claim as my right. Death, or some other sort of punishment, shall surely fall upon her; she shall not escape! Only think what is best. "Write to me all that is in your bear. Fear not to spread out!" I would know all. Farewell! Your loving "MARGHARITA." Letter from the Count Leonardo di Marioni, the Palazzo Carlotti, Rome, to Miss Margarita Briscoe, Mallory Grange, Lincolnshire. "BELOVED MARGHARITA: I will confess that your letter troubles me. If there be heavens for the life, who wrecked my life, or no heaven for me, no god. No God. You is then a good woman. She is then a good woman through fear. She seeks to atone, but she can never lose. She won a boy's passionate love; she wore his heart upon her sleeve; she cast it away at the moment of her pleasure. She broke the vows of an order, which should have been as sacred to her as the face of God to the angels; and she sent a Marioni to rot through a useless life in a miserable prison. The boy whose heart she broke and saved only to amuse his unchanging and unchangeable hate for her. Away with all other thoughts, my vengeance knows but one end, and that is death! Not sudden death, mind! but death—slow, lingering, and painful. I would see the struggle against some mysterious sickness, with my own eyes; I would stand by the bedside and mock. I would watch the cheeks grow thin and pale, and the eyes grow dim. She should know me in those last moments. She snou- see me, the wasted shadow of a man, myself on the threshold of the grave, the bedside, cold and umpitying, and holding out toward her a white hyacinth. "That is how I would have it, though thus it may not be. Yet speak to me not of any other vengeance save death. Let none other dwell for a moment in your thoughts, I solenly charge you, Margharita. "As to my search, it has not yet, alas, been successful. Think not that I have lost heart, or that I am discouraged. Never fear but that I shall find the man whom I seek—if not, there are others. I give myself one month longer; at the end of that time, If Pascchul is not found, another must see. The "Princess is much interested in you, and sends her love. She is impatient to take you under her care I have told her that it will not be long—nor will it. "Parewell, my child. Soon I shall send you the good news—Yours, "LENNARI IN MARIONI, "PALEZZO CARLOTT, ROME, "MARHARTA—Beloved. Success success! My search is over, my purpose is accomplished. I have found Paschul. Enclosed in this letter you will find a smaller envelope. It contains the powder. "Can you wonder that my hand is shaking, and that there is a mist before my eyes! I am an old man, and great joy is hard to bear; harder still after a weary, wretched life such as mine. You will understand, though-you will be able to decipher this faint uncertain handwriting, and you will forgive me if it thvis you. Ay, you will do that, Marharta. I know! "Let me tell you how I found him. It was by the pursuit accident. I turned aside into an old carto shop to buy some trifle for you which took my fancy, and it served me. Thus you see how indirectly even your star always shines over mine and leads me aright. If it had not been for you I should never have dreamed of entering the place, but I thought of you and your taste for Roman jewelry, and behold. 亦 Lit to me "Margarita, there is no poison in the world like that which I send you in this letter. The merest grain of it is sufficient, in wine or water, or food of any sort. There is no art of medicine which could detect it—no means by which the death, which will surely follow, can be averted; so you run no risk, my child! Bide your time, and then—then—" Margarita "I am coming to you. Now I shall be alarmed. I run no risk. I shall come disguised, and no one will know me, but I must see something of the end with my own eyes, or half its sweetness would be untasted. I would see her face and die! I would trace, day by day, the workings of the poison; and in the last moments her agency I would reveal myself, and would point to my withered frame and the hand of death upon my forehead, and cry out to her that the Order of the White Hyacinth had kept its vow. I would have her eyes meet mine as the mists of death closed in upon her. I would have her know that the oath of a Marioni, in friendship or in hate, in protection or in vengeance, is one with his honor. This may not be Margharita! I cannot see all this! I cannot even stand by her bedside for a moment and show her my mind that she might know it, and it is which stilkes her down. Yet, I must be near! Feas not but that I shall manage it safely! I would not bring danger or the shadow of danger upon you, my beloved. "I leave Rome to night, and I leave it with joy. You cannot imagine how inexpressibly sad it has been for me to find myself in the place where the greater part of my youth—my too ambitious youth was spent. All is changed and strange to me. There are new streets and many innovations which puzzle me; and although my friends are kind, twenty-five years have crushed our sympathies. To them I am like a sad figure from a bygone, a Banquo at the feast, something to pity a little—no more. I am nothing to anybody beyond that. I am a wearisome old man, whose mind is a blank, and only who numbers the way. Ah, well, it is not for long. The day of my desire is at hand, and God has given me my, Margharita, to accomplish it, and to close my eyes in peace. Bless you, my dear, dear child! You have sweetened the end of a marred and wretched life! Yours has been an angel's task, and you will have an angel's reward. "We shall meet before long, but the manner of our meeting I cannot tell you yet. Till then aden—Yours in hope. "LEONARD IN MARION." "P. S.—I forgot to say that the whole of the polson, or even half teapoonful, would produce sudden and abrupt death. Just a pinch, administered twice, perhaps, in order to quite secure, would be sufficient. "MY BELOVED MAROCHARIA—Mars a time have I reproached myself for my imprudence last night, and the ets which I fear it find upon you. It was thoughtless and yet I were the house at all, but the deed, I only to watch from a safe distance; only, as I crouched behind a shrub upon the lawn, I saw her face, and the sight drew me nearer against my better judgment. I met your eyes, and I knew that you were overcome with fright; but I feared to linger less they might ask what it was that alarmed you, and seek for me. And although I fancy that I am altered past recognition, yet I would run no risks.
