St. Louis Argus

THEODORE ROOSEVELT PAYS ST. LOUIS A VISIT True to his word, true to his friends, true to Americanism and just like himself, Col. Theodore Roosevelt had the courage to stand in the hot-bed of German-Americans and tell them that they were moral traitors. This speech, which was delivered at the City Club, Wednesday, was one which was attended with unusual interest. St. Louis is known as a German town, and while he frequently mentioned the German-American, he also said that he was opposed to English-Americans, Irish-Americans, or any other class of people who were not willing to give all to America. As he stood and made a H. of J. Holds Annual Session The 42nd annual session of the Grand Court of Heroines of Jericho, of the state of Missouri and its jurisdiction, was held at Independence, Mo., May 23, 24, 25 and 26. The session was a very pleasant one with the following grand officers elected: Grand Most Ancient Matron, Mrs. Dollie Stevens; Grand Vice Matron, Miss Pearl Pool; Grand Worthy Joshua, Mr. Tom H. McCampbell; Grand Treasurer, Mrs. Nora D. Higgs; Grand Secretary, Miss Catherine R. White; Grand Relief Treasurer and Secretary, Mrs. Daisy McKnight; Grand Burial Fund Secretary and Treasurer, Mrs. Eva Bolden; Grand Inner Gate Keeper, Mrs. Zenobia Grant; Grand Outer Gate Keeper, Mrs. Pearl Brown; Grand Attendants, Mrs. Blanch Swope and Mrs. Augustine Beard. The Social Pirates The Social Pirates, a series of plots by George Bronson Howard, will be shown at the Booker Washington Theater every Wednesday, beginning June 7. This is not a serial but a series of short stories each one complete in itself and each containing two reels. The two central characters in "The Social Pirates" are Mona and Mary, two very attractive young women who had become embittered by the experience of some of their close friends against mankind generally but particularly against a class of notorious men who make it their business to profit by the weakness of the opposite sex by blackmail and other despicable methods. In fact so embittered have the two girls become that they register a solemn oath to devote their lives to a campaign of retribution against this class. In Episode No. 1 "The Little Monte Carlo" Mona and Mary save a beautiful young girl from suicide. They learn from her that she has been jilted by a wealthy young man and the two girls immediately commence a campaign in which after inducing him to visit a supposed gambling house where he pays a large sum to make good the fictitious losses of Mona, the man is led finally to right the wrong he has done the girl he cast off by the clever ruse of a telegram sent in his father's name by Mary commanding him to marry. It is a sensational, thrilling and romantic episode that will keep you enthralled from start to finish and each succeeding episode is just as good or better. The 20th Century Lodge No. 6234, G. U. Q. of O. F., will give their first moonlight excursion Monday evening, June 12, on the steamer "Grey Eagle." The boat will leave the foot of Olive St., at 7:30 p.m. Come go with us on this outing and enjoy yourself on the bosom of the Mississippi. Music will be furnished by the Odd Fellows' Band. Admission, 35 cents. Committee of arrangement: J. Nichols, chairman, E. Moore, general secretary, A. Young, treasurer, E. Gardner, Matt Hussey, A. Boad, Wm. G.' Nickels. The St. Louis Argus most eloquent appeal for a united people, one could see that he was a jealous son, who believed in America first, last, and always. No divided love would satisfy him. Those who have heretofore opposed Col. Roosevelt have, since his bold address, fallen in line with his thoughts. It seems at a time like this that the natural instinct of the people is calling for a strong man to head this nation and Roosevelt seems to be the logical man for the place. During his eight hours' stay in St. Louis he delivered three speeches and each one met the popular approval of the people. Open The Play Grounds Many have been the complaints coming from the people of certain localities of this city on account of the lack of what they term as the proper recreation for the children of these communities. The unfortunate or rather the noticeable part about it is that the localities thus affected are those in which the colored population are living. Our attention has especially been called to the fact that Pine Street playgrounds, at 23rd and Pine Streets, and the Kennerly Ave. playgrounds, at Kennerly and Pendleton Aves, always the last to open and are generally the first to close. These playgrounds, which are supported by the city and under the direct management of Park Commissioner N. C. Cunliff, are those that are attended principally by the Colored youths of the city, and it is said that these grounds happen to be the ones that are poorly equipped and the least help employed. When asked about the opening of the playgrounds mentioned Mr. Cunliff stated that these grounds would be opened right after the closing of the public schools for the summer. FISK ALUMNI PREPARING FOR COMMENCEMENT Dr. S. W. Crosthwait Delivers Alumni Address—Dr. J. T. Phillips a Successful President Special to the St. Louis Argus. Nashville, Teenn., May 26.—Extensive preparations are being made to entertain the alumni who will attend the exercises of Fisk University, June 2-7. The Fisk Alumni Conference will be held June 5th at 4:30 p.m. in Jubilee Hall. At this meeting the business of the association will be transaction, welcome to the graduating classes and visiting alumni and introduction of President and Mrs. F. A. McKenzie. The Alumni Association has been very active during the presidency of Dr. J. T. Phillips. The president's office in Livingston Hall has been neatly furnished the new Fisk Alumni Quarterly has been welcomed into the Fisk family and the Bible, formerly owned by President Abraham Lincoln, was largely obtained for the university by Dr. S. W. Crothwait, who is an active member of the alumni association. It is understood he co-operated with President McKenzie, who officially obtained this historic book. The alumni have evinced an increased loyalty and have contributed in one way or another to the successful administration of Dr. Phillips, one of the leading young physicians of the city. The alumni sessions will formally close Tuesday, June 6th, when Dr. S. W. Crosthwait B. D., will deliver the annual alumni address at 8:00 p. m. in Fish Memorial Chapel. His subject will be "The True Basis of National Preparedness." A large number of alumni and friends of the university will be present to hear Dr. Crosthwait, who is regarded as a thoughtful speaker. The commencement exercises will occur Wednesday, June 7th, when many graduates from the classical and musical departments will receive diplomas. President McKenzie is popular with the Fisk contingent and is sure to keep the university in the path of progress. ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1916. $10,000 MARK REACHED IN Y.M.C.A. FUND Efforts of the team captains and their teams to have the fund of the Y. M. C. A. reach $10,000 were crowned with success when on last Sunday afternoon, at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, the $10,000 mark was realized. This goal required united effort for in the early part of the week the total was some $600,000 off, but the men on the teams are used to united effort and crossed the mark by one strong pull. Dr. William L. Perry sent in his check for $100 to help make the $10,000. This means that all of the subscribers of $1,000 or more have begun payments on their pledges. When the total was called for on Sunday, the fund was $51,00 short, when instantly the captain of team 9, Mr. Brown, and the chairman of the campaign committee, Mr. Williams, volunteered to make up the total. At this meeting, Mr. Malone, who is a member of the Board of Managers of the Y. M. C. A., spoke most interestingly of the recent trip which he and Mrs. Malone made to visit the Associations in the eastern cities. While away, Mr. and Mrs. Malone visited Cincinnati, Louisville, Washington, Philadelphia and New York Associations. Mr. Malone spoke most interestingly and told the men who were gathered there that the other cities were expecting St. Louis to go ahead of all records in the matter of collections as they had done in the matter of subscriptions. Team 14 reported the largest amount on Sunday afternoon and still keeps the lead in the collection campaign. The total collections up to date are $10,030.00. Poro College Movies in East St. Louis June 5 Great interest is manifested in East St. Louis, Ill., over the announcement that "Poro" College Moving Pictures will be shown there again, for the benefit of the Macedonia Baptist Church, Brady Ave., between 5th and 6th Sts, at 8:30 p.m. That this is the second showing of these pictures in this city signifies they are just what the people have been looking for, something interesting, something new. Many religious and charitable organizations out of town want to exhibit these famous pictures and return engagements are in great demand. Any such organization can obtain a date by making written application to the Film Editor, "Poro" College Co., 3100 Pine St. Local "Poro" Agents' Meeting The regular monthly meeting of the "Poro" agents of this city, will be held at "Poro" College, Monday evening, at 6:00 o'clock. It is hoped that each agent will be present on time, as new business of vast importance will be placed before the club. EDUCATIONAL CONGRESS DELEGATES Gov. Major has appointed the 25 delegates to the Negro National Educational Congress, to be held in Washington, D. C., August 23-26. Prof. Frank L. Williams, of St. Louis, is one of the appointees. NEGRO SLAYERS MUST HANG The Supreme Court of Missouri has affirmed the sentences of death imposed upon Harry and Andrew Black convicted for killing two policemen in St. Charles, December 6, 1913. They will be hung on Flag Day, June 14. DYER REMEMBERS LITTLE GIRL ON HER BIRTHDAY Little Dollie Denny, daughter of Harry Denny, 2964 Market Street, was the hostess at a birthday party, given in her honor, at the family residence last Saturday night, more than two hundred little guests being present. Miss Dollie was the recipient of many presents. Among the donors were Cohgressman L. C. Dyer, who sent $10 from Washington, D. C., and a present of $6 from Robt. E. Moore, Republican Committeeman of the 16th Ward. Everybody had an enjoyable time. ATTORNEY VAUGHN ADDRESSES HIGH SCHOOL GRADS Attorney Geo. L. Vaughn delivered the commencement address to the graduates of the Douglass High School at Hannibal, Mo., Friday night, May 27, before a large and enthusiastic gathering of citizens. He reports the work of the school to be first class and says that the citizens of Hannibal are proud of the school and are much pleased with the work of Principal A. C. Maclin. In his closing remarks Mr. Vaughn gave the members of the class some wholesome advice which it will be well for them and their friends, fathers and mothers too, to heed. "I know that your greatest contribution to the civilization of the world and the welfare of the human family will be made in honest, earnest and intelligent effort to rid America of prejudice and make it indeed and in truth the land of the free and the home of the brave. You must do it helping to prove that the Negro is worthy of liberty and freedom and deserving of encouragement, help and fair treatment by being industrious, honest, sober, provident and patriotic citizens and, also, by setting your faces like flint against discrimination, segregation, restriction and the closing of the doors of opportunity in your faces. You can aid very little in this great task either by becoming easily discouraged or by souring on the world or by hating your fellow man. Neither can you help by whining like a whipped cur, or by cowardly, cringing or tame submission or outrage and discrimination. You must play the part of men and women. Stand for right and fight against wrong. Do your duty and then insist that others, no matter who, shall do their by you. Give an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. Exhibit that ability and responsibility that deserve open opportunity and then contend with all your might against those who would shut the door of opportunity in your faces. Acquit yourselves as good, law-abiding, American citizens and then make it perilous for every one who would deny you any of the benefits of citizenship or abridge your rights as such. It is your right to seek the highest and best in life. Seek it and defy anybody who dares hinder you. There is no fixed place in life for you, different than that fixed for other men, because of your color or previous condition. Your place is any place which you, by your brain, brawn and ability, can carve out for yourselves. Your motto should be: 'Excelsior, onward, upward, and peril to the man who impedes the way.' Rev. S. D. Davis Returns From Conference Rev. S. D. Davis, the popular Presiding Elder of the St. Louis District A. M. E. Zion Church, who was the honored chairman of the western delegation, Seventh Episcopal District at the General Conference at Louisville, Ky., has just returned to St. Louis. He reports a great conference, many important measures were enacted regulating both the general and local activities of the church. When interviewed by an Argus reporter he said, "The outlook for a greater A. M. E. Zion Church was never brighter because of the fact that merit, ability and character, the foundation upon which all great institutions must stand, is becoming more generally the slogan of the hour in Methodism." The Missouri Annual Conference, over which Bishop L. W. Kyles, A. M., T. B., presides, will convene in this city June 14, 1916. Bishop George Lincoln Blackwell, S. T. D., L. L. D., of the Fifth Episcopal District will associate. Y. W. C. A. CHORAL CLUB Don't fail to attend the annual concert given by the Y. W. C. A.

HALEY RETURNS Gives Interesting Account of the Installation of Booker Washington's Successor. Memorial Fund Receives $100,000. Mrs. Haley Receives Enthusiastic and Rousing Reception in East tion in East Mrs. Victoria Clay-Haley Mrs. Victoria Clay-Haley, Royal Grand Matron, Order Eastern Star, of Missouri Jurisdiction, returned home after a four weeks' tour of the east and south, having visited Tuskegee, where she witnessed the inauguration of the successor of Booker T. Washington, which was very impressive. Special cars come not only from Montgomery and other points in the state, but also from Chicago, Virginia and other points north. The presence of Dr. Washington was greatly missed and as the graduating class sang "Auld Lang Syne" the thought of the absence of him who had founded this great institution and who had so soon been called from his labors cast a gloom over all and brought tears to the eyes of not only teacher and student but friends and visitors. But as far as carrying out the general program the spirit of the man was still at Tuskegee Institute. The sermon was preached by Dr. C. B. Wilmer, Atlanta, Ga., who referred to Dr. Washington as "The Apostle of common sense and good will," and as a "good American." The theme of the commencement program dealt with the rural school, while every graduating student spoke on his trade. The commencement day opened with a general demonstration of as many industries as could be staged on the chapel platform, which were many and varied. The formal address was made by Dr. Hollis Burke Prissell, principal of Hampton Institute, where both Dr. Washington and Principal Motion were educated. The principal-elect was presented by William G. Wilcox, president of New York City Board of Education. Principal Motion was greeted with enthusiastic applause and pledged himself to carry out the policies inaugurated by Booker T. Washington. Among the many prominent people present were Julius Rosenwald, whose magnificent gift of $100,000 to the Booker Washington Memorial. Fund was announced. Also that of Mr. McCormack, of $25,000. These with other large gifts, including one from the class of '06, of $287.15, make the Washington Memorial Fund total $850,000. Dr. William Jay Schieffel, of New York City, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, presented a bronze bust of Booker T. Washington, which had been executed by Miss Leila Usher, a sculptress of New York City. The bust is to be placed permanently in the chapel of the institute. The year's enrollment was 917 boys and 647 girls, a total of 1,564 students, who come from 33 states and 20 foreign countries or colonies of foreign countries. Before going to Tuskegee, Mrs. Haley visited Buffalo, New York and Philadelphia, where she showed the people of the east that Missouri knows how to make good—for that she simply captivated the hearts of the people was demonstrated by the enthusiastic and nursing welcome that was given to her at every point visited, and the urgent invitations to return. Mrs. Haley sustained her reputation as one of the leading women of the race and as a gifted speaker in her wonderful EY RETURNS The Installation of Booker Washing- Fund Receives $100,000. Mrs. Plastic and Rousing Recep- tion East and inspiring addresses delivered at Buffalo, Philadelphia and at the famous Royergift Chapel, East Aurora, New York, the home of the late Elbert Hubbard, now under the management of his son, whose guest Mrs. Haley was. The largest audience that has ever packed the Michigan Avenue Baptist Church, Buffalo, assembled there to hear the Royal Grand Matron of Missouri and Jurisdiction. The entertainment was planned, and managed by Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, who the St. Louis folks will remember was a guest here last summer. Promptly at 8:30 p.m. the ushers and ribbon bearers, comprising twenty of Buffalo's most popular young folks, led in the Escort Committee of Master Masons and Eastern Stars, of the Royal Grand-Matron, Mrs. Haley. The committee of eighty was followed by the Worthy Matron, Mrs. Charlotte Dett and Worthy Patron, Mr. James R. Mason, and last the Matron of Honor, who looked every inch the queen that she is. Over fifty yards of ribbon were used in the display. Master Masons from Niagara Falls, Ithaca, Utica, Syracuse and Boston, and Eastern Stars from Niagara Falls, New Bedford, Mass., and Chicago, were in attendance. Many social affairs were planned in her honor. Breakfast, with Mr. and Mrs. Fred Brown, of Garner Avenue. Dinner, with covers laid for fourteen, at the home of Miss Ida D. Fairbush, Buffalo's first Colored teacher of mixed schools. Dinner at the beautiful residence of Mrs. Charlotte Dette, of Niagara Falls. Trip to Chippewa, Ontario. The So-Journer Truth Club entertained at an elaborate luncheon at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Whitfield Lawrence. The Phyllis Wheatley Club held a public reception in her honor at the residence of her hostess, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert. The Entre Tennis Club entertained for her on Wednesday evening. The largest reception was held by Pyre' Lodge No. 43, F. and A. M. at Knickerbocker Studio. Over 200 were present. The Grand March was led by the Worshipful Master and Mrs. Haley, Sunday. Mrs. Anna R. Mason entertained at dinner, and Sunday evening Mrs. Haley spoke at Bethel A. M. E. Church. Through the courtesy of Mrs. Ruth L. Bennett, president of state federation, of Pennsylvania, Mrs. Haley delivered the principal address on Woman's night at the opening and dedication of the New Union Baptist Church at Philadelphia, of which Dr. W. G. Parks is the able pastor. Mrs. Haley also had the pleasure of giving a recital, assisted by Richard B. Harrison, in Chester, Pa., where Rev. and Mrs. Bennett have charge and are doing a splendid work. Aside from being head of the Eastern Star, Mrs. Haley is secretary of the National Association of Colored Women and after presiding over the Grand Chapter Meeting, in July at Kansas City will depart for the east to attend the Biennial meeting of the National Federation at Baltimore.

FIRST IN WAR » dust as we go to press we hear rumors of dissatisfaction with the afrangement of the Colored division of the preparedness parade for Saturday afternoon. Last, as usual. Last in-peace, first in war. It scems ill befitting to the times that, while the Colored soldiers are being called upon to go to the front in Mexiéo and lead the bunt for Villa, Colored citizens should be simultaneously relegated to the rear in a demonstration intended to express the sentiment of the people in a demand for better protection of our flag and better preparedness. Public opinion seems all out of joint. Prejudice, not patriotisin, is dominant. Loyalty is only a sham where a people are divided against themselves, where rave bitterness, separating the nationalities, affords. not a union. We are all Americans and_as Americans and -Amerieans nly Wwe van assure the safety of the United States. fi 5 Be ae ee Se aera ene ee Se The hyphen is playing a eonspienots part in the molding of public sentiinent at present, “This little-character, used to unite na- tionalities or graft ancestry to Americans, has raised the question of loyalty. The Negro has always been hyphenated, He has been called Afro-American, It is the prevailing usage in- designating the American colored man. Yet his |0ywtt¥Ahas never been questioned. The Negro’s ancestry extends back 300 years in this, country, and he belongs to the oldest generations that enter into the citizen- ship'of our republic. Although Jim-Crowed and segregated in many places no one has'ever had the audacity to accuse him of treason or disloyalty. He has always been the first to rise in defense of his country and the last to leave the battlefield.

Each attempt.on the part of one race to tell the other the best thing to ‘do for the preservation of peace only serves to widen the breach and arouse more racial antagonism among themselves. No one class has any confidence in the other, and thus a great unrest among the people is mani! more and more each day—the social unrest, the industrial unrest, the com- mereial unrest and the political unrest—all of which ‘are stepping- stones to a great upheaval among the people of this country.. There can be no fest until the nation learns. to respect her most humble citizens; there can be.no preparedness as long as racial questions and ragial antagonism are constantly agitated. There ean bé no peace until we have peace among ourselves.

Some of those found’ have floated for many months, and sometimes years, and have trav. eled thousands of miles, Tt has been found that bottles dropped overboard between the shores of the United States and England or France usually travel toward the northeast, following the course of that great river in the Atlantic ocean, the gulf stream. Bottles started off the cansts of Spain and Africa travel, as a rule, westward until they arrive among the West India islands, Along the European side of the ocean the bottle takes a southerly course and along the American side a northerly course, bs WORLD OWES DEBT TO THESE Macadam, Pioneer of Good Roads, and His ‘Contemporary, Telford, Worthy of All Gratitude. ‘The first great improvement in high- ‘way construction within modern tinies ‘was effected by John Loudon Macadam. or McAdam, who was born in Ayr, Scotland, in 1756. This great Scotch engineer was the inventor of the road- making system known as “macadamiz- ing,"” which is still in general use, al- though vastly" improved. Macadam died"in 1836, at the ago of eighty. ‘When he was born the turnpike roads of England and Scotland were in an Incredibly bad state. Macadam and his contemporary, Telfprd, were the first to check the prevailing chaos and to bring scientific methods and regu- Jar system to bear upon the \building, repair and maintenance of highways. Macadam was engaged chiefly in the repair of existing roads rather than the construction of new ones, and the improvements which he inaugurated were of great-and lasting henefit, not only to his native land, but to the world at large. Telford insisted upon 4 foundation of broken stone in road Dullding, while Macadam insisted that this was unnecessary and that,the sub- soil would carry any weight if ade- quately drained and kept dry by an impervious covering.

There is an inevitable amount of friction in everyday life. Cotirteay rediices this friction to © minimum. ‘The happy outcome of a day's work may easily be determined ty a cheery “( morning” at its beginning. A ‘Anitted brow and a grudging greeting ‘may be harbingers of failure in the ‘day's work. In the elevator, at the telephono, at the bench and in the office—at every point of contact between man and man—a little thought for the feelings of others is a pleasant lubricant in the Joints of life. It reduces the far of the ‘human machinery, promotes good feel- ing, adds to the world’s stock of self- respect. - It is Detter to request than to com- mand, better to smile than to frown. better to help than to hinder even in the smallest things, “A’ courteous’ man anc @ courtedus woman furnish the salt that makes life palatable to the soul. Our common allotment of happiness, of contentment, of the Joy of living is all too'small. By robbing those about us of their shafe we rob ourselves in the Jong run. Let us adq to that share instead of detract from it: Let us respect scrupulously the small rights of others; regard for the big rights will then become a matter of habit. Ha The Oldest of Trees. As to the ages of trees, it is not the oak which is, as’ Dryden, or another, has. it, the “patriarch.” The oldest trees on earth are the tremendous con- ifers standing in one of the Calt- fornian valleys. Older than Abraham, they have rolled around with the world, alive, for many more centuries than any mere oak; and not long ago one of them fell. There he lies, and you climb his side by sladder, And the rest—or many of them—are in their last few centuries, as is evident from their dwindling tops. That is what surprises the tourist —that having lived through human history they are now dying. They are now cared for, if things 80 strange and so august can be sald to owe any- thing to man’s care; but man for hun- dreds of decades gave them hard usage; their hollows are black with the fires lighted withfh by Indian na- tions long vanished London Chron ole. ¢ gees @hakespeare’s Mixed “Population.” It is impossible to overestimate the influence on the view of government with which Shakespeare, without Purt- tanism, invigorated the Anglo-Saxon mind both in England and America in the direction of at least freest investt- gation of ecclesiastical principles and methods. American worldwideness, cosmopolitanism, or, if you please, that hospitality to all interests from any- ‘where and everywhere, which is char- acteristic of the United States, has its own method glorified in Shakespeare's intellectual procedure. Shakespeare's population is as’mixed as our own. He had the American manner, with a myriad-minded past, and the more varied and variablé present—“Shake- speare and the American Spirit," Dr. Frank W. Gunkaulus, in National Mag- she oS : Practice Loving. ] _ Practice loving everyone you meet, being redtly with « kind word “or a Gentle act.

Time rolls on, it will not stay, How we felt since that sad day, With one so loving, kind and true, How hard it was to part with you. In loving memory of our dear husband and father, who departed this life one year ago June 1, 1915. In the graveyard softly sleeping, Where the flowers gently wave Lies the one we love so dearly, In his lonely, silent grave, IN MEMORIAM Experiments Have Almost Convinced Scientists That Such a Thing Is Within Range of Possibility. Silk is the secretion of two glands of the silkworm lying alongside the digestive canal. These glands, which consist of numerous coiled tubes, terminate in a spinning-wart. From a common orifice in the spinning-wart the secretion, of the consistency of honey, issues forth, promptly hardening into a thread on exposure to the air. Usually the silk is colorless on leaving the body of the silkworm, but sometimes it is straw yellow or greenish. Why? The answer has been a matter of long dispute. Some claim that the larva itself produces the color; others ascribe it to. impurities acquired upon secretion; still others are of the opinion that the green color of the leaves of the mulberry tree is the cause. Two French scientists, Levrat and Conte, determined to settle the dispute. They fed silkworms on mulberry leaves which had been saturated with nonpolisonous aniline red and aniline blue. With what result? Not only were the silkworms turned red or blue but their secreted silk assumed the respective colors. Who knows but some day we may be dyeing silk in the leaf instead of in the vat? KNEW COIN BY ITS SOUND Observant Proprietor of Store Had a Faculty Which Saved Him a Good Deal of Time. There are all sorts of labor-saving devices, patented and unpatented, but now and again a new one bobs up unexpectedly. Here is a sample: The man who was shy on collars dropped in at a haberdasher's to buy a couple. He made his selection, and the proprietor walked with them to the rear of the shop, where the roll of wrapping paper was kept. The customer, meantime, extracted half a dollar from his nearest pocket and flipped it somewhat noisily on the glass top of a showcase. "You said two collars, didn't you?" queried the haberdasher. yes; two," replied the customer. A few seconds later the proprietor returned, not only with the collars, but with the exact change, a 25-cent piece. "How did you guess that?" asked the wondering customer. "You didn't see me put down this half." "No," said the shopkeeper; "but I heard it hit the counter, and I knew it was a half as soon as it struck. Being able to make change by sound saves me a good many steps in the course of a day." Insurance Risks. Many pathetic revelations are hidden in the records of a life insurance company that have simulated discussions of old-age pensions. The actuaries delve into figures and comparative statistics, and yet how little they actually know except of past events. The medical examiners study every phase of human activity and liability and the risks involved. Yet a record of the average medical examiner would seem a sorry show if all the paradoxical facts were presented of how many times they "miss their guess." Several young men I know of were refused by insurance companies as poor risks twenty-five or thirty years ago, and yet are living today, apparently hale and hearty. I know of others who were taken as perfect risks, only to pass away in a month, a year, or so. Which shows that, after all, "there's a divinity that shapes our ends," and doctors are still unable to compute accurately the immutable laws which govern life and death—"Let's Talk It Over," National Magazine. Lost Skill of the Ancients. From the earliest periods of which we have historical records one of man's greatest problems, has been to lift heavy loads rapidly and efficiently. Some of the greatest monuments of antiquity were built under conditions that involved lifting of heavy pieces of building material to great heights, but how it was done we do not know to this day. The manner in which the great stones were raised to their places in the pyramids in Egypt has always been a mystery and probably always will be. It is certain, however, that the builders of these wonderful monuments were possessed of mechanical contravances that were lost in the dark ages intervening between their time and ours, or they possessed patience to a more remarkable degree than is exhibited in any race of men at the present time.—Engineering Magazine. Discovery of Soap. Soap appears to have been discovered by the Celts, for the name is derived from the Celtic word "sebon." It seems strange that such early wanderers should have been familiar with soap, but if they had the name they must certainly have had the article it stood for. Moreover, it is quite conceivable that nomads using wood fires could accidentally discover soap. All woods have a certain amount of mineral oils, chiefly those of potash, in their fibers. After burning these are left in the form of carbonate, which a heavy shower of rain would dissolve into a liquid lye, wanting only the grease from an overturned caldron of broth to form soap. A dash of natural curiously on the part of the woman who cleaned up the mess would reveal the cleansing properties of the new substance.

These leaders soon felt the need of revisiting the ‘scenes of their former labora (v. 36), Dut when it came to the organization of thelr party, Paul refused to accede to the decision of Barnabas that Johr Mark should accompany them (vs. 37 88, see Acts 14:13), Go‘ sharp a con. tention Grose that two parties were or. ganized. That Paul later forgave ‘Mark is evidenced by his tender refer- ences to him, : 1, A Closed Door. Ch. 16:1:8. Paul's companions for this second mission- ary tour were Silas (15:40), Luke -{800.. us0..of word, ‘wo.’ y...12),.and ‘Timothy (¥. 1-3). The latter came of good. ancestry, had good training and ‘was of good report, still to avoid con- tention he submitted to the rite of circumcision. Paul's work was to promulgate the Jerusalem decree, to establish or to confirm the churches ‘and to add to these churches new con- yerts, But that did not entirely ful- fill Paul's commission (9:15). The word “Asia” (v, 6) means the Roman province of Asia and, wisely obeying the Spirit’s direction, Paul passed on until he came to the seaport town of ‘Troas. At a later time Paul spoke the “word of the Lord Jesus” in Asia with wonderfu} effect’ (19: 1, 8, 19, 26, 27). It must have burned within the bones of Paul thus to be re trained, but it did not serve. as an ex- cuse for him to take @ vacatién, but rather to seek new fields wherein to preach. Thus he came to Troas, 1% ‘The Macedonian Call. v, 913 Paul had “several epochmaking vi- sions; on the Damascus road (9:3, 4 and 26:19); in Jerusalem (23:11); ai the time of his shipwreck (27:23), and the one we are now considering. A vision ia a knowledge of the need and of the resources at one’s com- mand. Grecian beauty, philosophy, art and culture needed Christ. Christ as a resource was adequate and available to supply that need. This vision Paul saw: through it God called him to Macedonia. “We” (the first use of that pronoun in the book of Acts), Pau} and Luke, imme- diately essayed to obey. U1, The Open Door, ¥. 14, 15. On what seeming trifles does history turn! An outcast. wandering Jew coming to help a proud, cultured, in- fiuential foreign city, but he bears the Gospel which alone can be of help to them, Paul did not wait to “in- vestigate the field” nor to establish ® working organization. He knew a better point of contact, and that was to find those in that city who knew God even though ignorant of Christ. He began by preaching Jesus, not comparative religions, nor did he peek to found “community centers” with soup kitchens and social uplift. Paul knew that to elevate the individ- ual by establishing him in the faith of Christ would soon result in commu- nity uplift. On the other hand, » faith which evaporates iii words and does not give tangible, concrete evi- dence in works may well be chal- lenged as to its being genuine. There was no supernatural direction as to what part of Macedonia Paul was-to visit, and exercising his common sense, Paul went at quee to the prin- sipal city. He did not begin at once © preach the Gospel (v. 12 R. V,), put waited and watched for an oppor- unity, doubtless praying much for a avorable opening (Ch. 18; 14; 17:2; 18:4). 5) The “man of Macedonia” seems to ave been a woman usiless we consider he Philippian jailor. This open-air nesting waa one of the most notable n history. The- Lord ‘opensd the leart of pious Lydia and it was the urning point of the evangelization of Surope and America and the world. Jog must open the héarts of men and women (John 6:44, 45; Eph. 1:17, 18; uke 24:45), and this he is willing nd giad to do.

Moody Binie i CN) TEXT—But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Teaac—Gen, 24:4 ‘Tho twenty-fourth chapter of Gene sis contains the account of the sarv- ae Ot Arenem seeking a bride for his son Isaac. ‘The chapter is 2 long one, contatn- ing 67 verses, and this fact has led many Bible stu- dents to feel that the seeking . of Isaac's bride -is typical of some spiritual truth, Such Bible stu- dents agree that the chapter wall illustrates the work of the Holy Snirit. who fa dent gee : : ; eo e , | Ve illustrates the work of the Holy Spirit, who is sent forth by God the father to call out-the church, which is the bride of him, typ!- fied by Isaac, even Jesus Christ our Lord: ~Since-the Holy Spirit zeor men in this sacred work, the chapter under consideration furnishes many, points of instruction for the soul winner. First of all, we note that Abraham's servant was anxious for the glory’ of his master. He prays, “Show kindness unto my master Abraham.” ‘Thia mo- tive will affect many things in our Christian service. On one. occasion, ‘after @ sermon, remarkable from the literary standpoint as well as in other ways, one of the hearers remarked, “What beautiful languagé the preacher used.” ‘True servants of Christ are troubled if his face is veiled, even by beautiful language. They would rath- er. glory in infirmity if the power. of Christ might rest upon.them. We have heard of a church, upon the back of “whose pulpit was ‘carved this text, “Sirs, we would see Jesus.” Every minister who sat behind this pulpit faced this appeal, and every worker who has the spirit of Abraham's serv- ant will seek to heed this appeal. Notice again, that the servant of Abraham received guidgneé, He was led to the well where-Rebekah watered her flocks and she was pointed out to him as the bride for his master. As the servant expressed it, “I being in the way, the Lord led me,” The writ- er has a friend who was a.pastor in a southern town. He longed for the salvation of 4 man who lived out in the country, but although he visited his house, he seemed never to find an op- portunity to speak with him privately concerning his soul. On one occasion, this minister was impressed that he should pay a special visit in the hope of reaching the man in question. As the impression persisted, he took the train and finally reached the house. It looked as if no one were at home ‘and he began to chide himself for his foolish trip. Nevertheless, he rapped at the door, which was opened by the man he wished to see and who wel- comed him heartily, saying, “I am all alone today and was just wishing that you would come here and tell me how to become a Christian.” Undoubtedly God stjll leadi bis servants, Again the servant gave gifts to Re- bekah, Jewels of silver, jewels of gold and raiment. How happy it is that. Christian workers, though poor, as Paul, was, may make many rich. Un- happy the Christian worker who has nothing better to give than bread and soup and clothes.’ Abraham's servant gaye to Rebekah an earnest of the Tiches-which should be hers when she came into Isaac's tent. So should Christian workers be filled with an earnest:of the coming glory'and scat- ter its light and blessing to all those to whom them minister. We may say a word, also, about the bride. It.will be noted that the sery- ant found her by the well of water. These words may fall under the eye of someone who is spain, to become a member of the bride of Christ. May not the incident under consideration suggest to him that he should be found by the well of water, which may hint at the means of grace. When Charles Spurseolppas seeking to know the love of Clirist, he went from church to church throughout London, trusting that the word of some minister might bring to him the blessing he sought, He at last found peace in a Primitive Methodist chapel, where he had taken shelter from a snowstorm one Si morning. ‘ And what a lesson is conveyed by the fact that as soon as Rebekah had the ring and bracelet upon her hand, she-ran and told them of her moth- er’s house all that Abraham's servant had said. As one has put it, we must sither give our religion away or else give it up. Would that all of us were as busy in spreading the good tidings 4a was Uncle John Vassar. Dr. A. J. Gordon tells of.once driving along a country road with this good man. A sentieman stopped them to inquire the way to Dedham. After the directiong were given, Uncle John Vasear turned jo the man and said, “Friend, 1 too um @ stranger and pilgrim in the arth, but 1 am seeking a better coun- ry; even & heavenly. Allow me to wait if you know the way to that coun- ry and are journeying thither?” It was done so naturally and sincerely bat the man stood as tf spellbound saline thin gepeitun smeeeh THE ST.

T. M. THEATRES FOUR STAR ACTS AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATER THIS WEEK Madam Fairfax and her son, Harry Stafford, are easily the feature act this week, in one of the best shows seen at the Booker Washington Theater in many moons. These two are the name of class, their talent far surpassing the ordinary vaudeville performer. In fact Madam Fairfax ranks as a vocalist with the greatest Colored prima donna history has produced. In her song numbers this week she adds a neat bit of real comedy that gives life and lightness to her selections, but does not detract from the real artistic temper of her work. The result is a treat for the patrons that is rare indeed. Her range is wonderful. It is especially conspicuous in her rendition of Il Trovatore in three voices. Harry Stafford is a graceful comedian and good dancer. The team is making a decided hit. Every number is heartily applauded and they are compelled to answer several encores. Harper Puggsley opens the show with an exhibition of comic cartoon work that is good. He follows with an artistic acrobatic dance that is in a class by itself and goes big. Puggsley is a St. Louis boy. Jack Morrisey and Company in a whip act, is a decided novelty. After doing some high jumping and other aerobatic stunts with his horse, Morrisey makes a series of crack shots with his long whip that are marvelous. It is the only act of the kind on the stage. Casmay and Grant present a line of comedy, music and dance that is up-to-date and very entertaining. They are real footlight artists and are scoring nicely. The act closes strong with a lively dance. THE SECRET OF THE SUBMARINE EVERY MONDAY AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON STRAIN AND BAILY STOCK COMPANY AT B. W. NEXT WEEK The Strain and Bailey Stock Company will present "Her First Step in Man" at the Booker Washington Theatre next week, beginning Monday, June 5. This company comes here well recommended by the best critics. The cast includes Miss Bailey, Mr. Strain, Gertrude Brown, Elwood Brown, Frank King, Josie Graham, Little Loretta and Edna Young. The third episode of "The Secret of the Submarine" will be shown Monday night and the first of "The Social Pirates" will appear Wednesday. LINCOLN AIRDOME 2618 N.

LOUIS ARGUS BASEBALL RUBE FOSTER AND HIS AMERICAN GIANTS COMING Mount Olive Team Plays Sunday The Giants will meet the famous Mount Olive Team at Brock's Park Sunday. This is the club that beat the Giants last summer. The game promises to be one of the most interesting of the season. Saturday the Jefferson Barracks Club will meet the Giants at the same park. On Monday Rube Foster and his American Giants will open a five game series here. There is always a strong rivalry between the St. Louis and Chicago clubs and a hard-fought series is always the result. All games will start at 3:15. The Giants won two games in Belleville Decoration Day, 5 to 2 and 11 to 10. Gregory was on the mound in the first game and was good all through Wade was knocked out of the box in the second contest and was replaced by Jimmie Lyons. The Giants had a hard fight to win, as the Belleville boys had six runs before Wallace and Company began to score. Blackwell and Warfield, the new members of the team, were the stars of the games. Mill has signed Robert Salty, a new pitcher from Oklahoma City. It was a big, jolly crowd that saw the opening game at Brock's Park last Sunday. The K. of P. band enlivened the gathering and the game was preceded by a big parade. Owner Brock deserves the full patronage of the fans, for he made a big sacrifice for the sake of the sport among Colored people. He states that he was not ousted from the Interstate League, but withdrew because the league refused to play the first game in double headers on Sundays. REYNOLDS AND ROBINSON WILL ENTERTAIN AT KEYSTONE GARDEN OPENING Reynolds and Robinson (Speck 16) will be the principal entertainers at the opening of the Keystone Garden at Compton and Lawton, Monday night, June 5.

LINCOLN HIGH MATNEE The matinee given by Lincoln High School Glee Club at Booker Washington Theater, Saturday, May 27th, was attended by a nice and appreciative audience.

The musical numbers were well rendered. The participants were all Lincoln High School pupils of East St. Louis. Prof. J. W. Hughes, principal; Miss Daisy O. Westbrooks, musical director; Prof. Jackson, assistant. NEGROES JIM-CROWED AT BENE- FIT BALL GAME The Manager of the St. Louis Browns refused to lift the ban and permit Negroes equal grandstand privileges at the teachers' benefit game Wednesday. The association had sold grandstand tickets to Negroes, but the club owners rebelled. They finally agreed to furnish the Negroes a Jim-Crow section. Some accepted, others took the 50 cents pavilion seats and quite a number returned their tickets, demanding the amount paid.
