St. Louis Argus

LILLY WHITE REPUBLICANS UNSEAT NEGRO DR. C. H. PHILLIPS PRAISES ARGUS LOYALTY CARTOON Keystone Cafe, at Compton and Lawton Avenues was crowded to the doors Thursday afternoon when Dr. Charles Henry Phillips, JE., rose to address the gathering on "Loyalty Pleads for Freedom." The occasion was a banquet in honor of the Colored boys who are soon to answer Uncle Sam's call to Dr. Phillips for his theme the cartoon that appeared recently in the Argus. In the course of his remarks he said, "While there are veterans of many conflicts on the battlefields of Europe, you and your race are the real veterans of Democracy. Your loyalty is unparalleled, unquestioned and unsuilled, and those of us here assembled, as well as the race, owe a debt of gratitude to the Louis Argus; that fearless champion New York has the greatest component of truth and justice; for the recent cartoon, emphasizing the Negro's status and position, the greatest asset of this Republic, forever hindered and at no time free. "Loyalty Pleads For Freedom," shows the Negro as he is, and to the right stands Uncle Sam begging for help as the enemies of civilization and democracy advance to attack him." Dr. Phillips then eloquently described in detail the story depicted in the drawing. He gave an exhaustive review of the history of the Negro's struggle against prejudice. He praised the Negro soldier and told the draftees that their valor and triumph would redeem the race from the strictoires now sufered. Dr. Phillips' address was frequently interrupted by vociferous applause and patriotism ran high: MOORLANDCOMING TO THE Y. M. C. A. Great interest centers around the coming of Dr. J. E. Moorland, International Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association, who is to speak at-Union Memorial Church, February 24th. Dr. Moorland is one of the outstanding men of the race and has been favorably mentioned for the Spingarn medial which is awarded to the person doing the most meritorious service in the year. The handling of the Y. M. C. A. Work among Colored troops, the securing of hundreds of new secretaries for this work, and at the same time carrying on the large administrative work of the home. Associations have been some of the problems that have fallen upon Dr. Moorland since the war broke out. Eastern papers comment continually on the splendid way in which these problems have been handled. Dr. Moorland has led in 14 campaigns for modern Association buildings, each to cost $100,000 or more and in every campaign the Association has gone "over the top" under his leadership. Dr. Moorland can campaign director in 1915 when St. Louis did itself proud in the subscribing of the Y. M. C. A. Building Fund. Because of the splendid assistance which he rendered in that campaign, the men of St. Louis were welcome. On Saturday night, the 23rd, a reception will be tendered Dr. Moorland by the men who worked in the campaign of 1915. At this time a small gift in appreciation of the services which he repaired will be presented. On the 24th at Union Memorial meeting, the campaign workers are hoping to add at least $2,000 to the building fund of the Y. M. C. A. While the campaign workers are securing funds for the new building, the members of the Y. M. C. A. are seeking to put St. Louis in its rightful class by securing 200 new members. This will be the last group of members which will be taken in before the new building is entered and all men taken in at this time will be considered charter members for the new Y. M. C. A. Fyther Clarke's Bible class on Wednesday night and, the HI P. Club on Friday night, will run as usual during the Lenten season, it is announced. Try an Argus Want Ad. The St. Louis Argus The Colored Women's Unit Council of National Defense will have a war Conference at Metropolitan A. M. E. Z. Church on Sunday afternoon, February 17 at 3 o'clock. Each officer and department head cordially invite their personal friends and acquaintances to ask for them when they reach the church so as to be seated under their respective bananas. Honorable mention is to be made of the officer or deacon of the church. A number in their group. Good speaking, good music. The church will be picketed by young ladies in the costumes of soldiers under the direction of Miss Helen R. Armstrong. Buglell will sound the revelle. This conference will be the beginning of a series of War Parties to be given for the benefit of The Mound City Social Settlement Association, organized in 1915, under the management of a board of directors of Colored people and an advisory committee of whites, was about to close its doors recently for lack of funds, when the Provident Association decided to take it over. The Settlement House is situated at 2243 Randolph Street and contains at present, a day nursery, milk station, club room, branch library, Bible class for adults, Sunday school for children, sewing and knitting classes. The work will be enlarged under the new management and the outlook for the Settlement, is very bright. There are very few direct welfare movements, for the Colored people in the city and the work of the Settlement is of greatest importance and significance as a nucleus for bigger and more things for the Colored people of St. Louis. The following sub committees were appointed at the meeting on Wednesday: Committee on D. Day Nursery, Miss Sara C. Young and Mr. M. J. Gilliam; Playground Committee, Mr. J. W. Day; Settlement Lodge, (quarters for homes Colored women) Mrs. H. A. Smith; Committee on Education and Entertainment, Dr. C. H. Turner; Committee on Housing, Lucielle B. Lowenstein and Mrs. H. A. Smith; Committee on Employment, Mr. J. C. MeWorter; Committee on Publicity, Mrs. H. A. Smith. DR. P. D. THURMAN COMMIS- / ELEGANTS IN MB/AGRICULTURE MB/AGRICULTURE Lieutenant F. D. Thurman, 1419 Morgan St. St. Louis, a successful practicing physician of St. Louis, is one among the many such young men of the race who deserves credit. Dr. Thurman received his commission as first lieutenant in U. S. R. Medical Corps, January 18, 1918. He was born 1809 in Martinsville, a., and his first died when he was 30 years old, his last was with six small children with no support. The mother worked hard through the day for bread and taught her children the true lessons of life at night. Dr. Thurman graduated from the public schools of Martinsville, Virginia, at an early age, and immediately began working to earn money to enable him to enter college. He entered college and was confirmed with many man-terms. He graduated with honors all and graduated in 1910, valedictorian of his class, and was called to fill a vacancy in the faculty of his Alma Mater, which position he filled with credit. In 1911 he became desirious to study the science of Medicine and in the fall of 1911 he entered the Medical Department of the University of West Tennessee at Memphis, Tennessee, and graduated with high honors. Dr. Thurman came to St. Louis and entered upon his profession and has made many friends since here. He is also a member of the Medical Forum of St. Louis.

LARGE CROWD ATTENDS THE LIMELIGHT Celebration St. Paul Church was well crowded Tuesday night at the Lincoln-Douglas Celebration. There was some disappointment, however, on account of the failure of some of the speakers to appear. The absentees were excused on account of sickness or throat troubles. Patriotic addresses were made by Prof. W. Owens and Mr. Friesen, as Inspector of peacepeers were made by Capt. Tandy, and others. Music was furnished by the St. Paul choir, W. M. Moore was chairman.

PHYLLIIS WHRATLYS BRANCH ANNUAL REPORT 1917 The year 1917 has in many respects marked a turning point in the history of the Phyllis. Wheatley Branch of the Young Woman's Christian Association. One of the most significant changes took place in October when Miss May B. Belcher, through whose heroic efforts the Branch has gained its present position, left the Association to become secretary of colored Work in the South Field. The war again has caused some diversion in the life of the Association. During the year there has been cooperation with all patriotic movements, such as the Council of National Defense, the Red Cross sewing and knitting for soldiers, the Liberty Loan Committee and the War Savings Works. Red Cross sewing and knitting has constituted a definite part of the activities at the Branch. During the registration of women in July, association women prepared their places. Through the Association in Colored Unit of the Council of National Defense was organized. Early in July, St. Louis, in fact, the whole United States, was shocked by the East St. Louis riot, which caused refugees to flee across the river. During the ten days the Municipal Lodging House was open, Miss Betcher and the Association members worked faithfully to relieve the sufferers. At the Branch building about forty sufferers were feared in the gymnasium until they secured homes. Two girls have continued to live at the Association until a few months ago, when they were fortunate enough to find their relatives. Another is still at the Branch. The employment department has helped and is still helping people from the East Side to become adjusted to conditions here. In this department great progress has been shown in the increasing number of opportunities given to people so heavy that we feel that one person could well dovall of all her time to it. We feel, too, the need of a licensed bureau. In conjunction with the employment department we may well speak of the School of Housekeeping, which, since its opening early in the year has been progressing slowly, but well. Co-operation between the two departments has been carried on in such a way that women and girls without first class reference are out of the way of Housekeeping before they are sent out by the employment department. The Cafeteria, under the direction of Miss Elizabeth D. Moore, is gradually gaining the reputation for having good meals, well served. Is trying to provide clean, wholesome food for children the department has served lunches to the Banneker School children. The Educational Department has been successful in offering several splendid entertainments, like the "Crisis," in February and the Rikland Hayes Consert, in November. At the end of the year, in May, Skating has been an enjoyable recreation during the cold weather, whereas swimming and tennis were much enjoyed in summer. A "trift garden" was maintained during the summer. The Cafeteria was able to use several of the products on the table. Next year we hope for even greater success from this undertaking. the girls' club work has progressed well. During the summer eight weeks Rainbow clubs led by older club girls were opened, and a different group of girls' clubs. Some efforts have been made to develop the Patriotic League among girls. At present there are fifty members. Extension work has been started in the Missouri Bag, Bemis Bag, and Funston-Nut factories. Noon metings have been held with the girls. The dormitory has been overcrowded during the greater part of the year. We feel accordingly the need of larger quarters in order to give more girls a Christian home. Miss Belden has felt especially the need of a home for younger, adolescent girls, in these formative girls so constructive work can be done. The building has been used much by different organizations. Banquets have been held in the Cafeteria. More and more people are coming to know of the building. During the early summer hand concerts were conducted at the Vesper Hour. In July, services were held in Forest Park. Throughout the year Vesper Services have proved an inspiration to all attending. Several well-organized Bible classes have been going on during the year. There has been cooperation on the part of the Wheatley Branch with the Provident Association as regards finding employment and lodging for some of the unfortunate people of St. Louis. Likewise women and children have been employed at the Mulhall School. A Society for the Bray Branch until they could continue their travel. They have in most cases been accommodated free. We close the year in a better financial condition than ever before, in some respects. Our receipts have been SMILE WITH THE SOLDIER BOYS IN THE WAR CAMP You Can Do Your Bit By Purchasing a Smileage Book and Sending it to a Soldier. Every Boy from St. Louis Must Have One. Smileage Books have been issued by the Government for the benefit of the soldiers in the several camps and cantonments. The Government has built Liberty Theatres in all of the camps, where high class entertainments will be given. The Smileage Book contains 20 coupons, each of which is good for one admission to any of these theaters when presented by a soldier. The price of these books is $1.00 and every one you purchase and send to a soldier is equal to twenty admission fees to the show. Just think of it, allow the picture of some soldier to enter your mind for a moment and see how it will make him smile to receive a smileage book him big for it to house. This man is having a wonderful effect on the morale of the soldier, for he thinks of those he has left behind. 600 books must be sent to the St. Louis boys within the next ten days. These books may be had at the drag stores and other business places in your neighborhood. For further information address: $4,125.87 as compared with $2,556.63 in 1916. However, our expenses have increased so that the balance to our credit is sixty five cents. On the other hand, the outstanding debts amount to about fifteen hundred dollars ($1,500). This amount, however, might easily be collected if all pledges made for the support of the Association were paid. However God has favored the Phi Whalen Bryant for the last six years and we feel that as the women and girls of St. Louis rally more and more to His support, the Branch will continue to progress in the year 1918.

BOOZE OF MOUND BAYOU TURNS TRAITOR TO RACE Attorney Howard Of Mississippi, Only Colored National Committeeman, Defeated In Session At St.Louis This Week, 25 to 23. ROSCOE CONKLIN SIMMONS MAKES ELOQUENT PLEA FOR HIS PEOPLE The Republican National Committee, which has been in session in St. Louis this week, elected Wm. H. Hays, of Indianapolis, chairman; passed resolutions supporting the war, indorsing woman suffrage, and offered a tribute of gratitude and affection to Col. Roosevelt. The committee went farther: it bowed to the will of the "Lilly Whites" and unscared its only Negro committeeman, the Hon. Perry W. Hogard of Mississippi, seating a "white man" in his place. Gwar and Brutus had it all over again Tuesday at the Planters Hotel, and Brutus again "put it over" on Gwar. The brilliant Mr. Howard was defeated for membership on the National Committee by only two votes. The contest was the closest in the annals of the Republican party. The defeat was not half as bad to bear as the traitorous remarks of a Negro, Eugene P. Booze of Mound Bay, Miss. The entire committee joined in assuring Mr. Booze that he was both knave and fool. Simmons For His People His defense of the arrest warrant was ever forged. After Howard and Mulvihill had presented their cases, and the National Committee, weary, and worn, felt to whisper conversation, Roscoe Conkling Simmons walked from the rear of the room and announced that he would close for Howard and his people. He had not spoken a minute before he had the attention of the committee. His defense of Howard was masterful. There stood the tribune of his party and his race. His mastery of figures and facts, together with his golden voice and, in the language of Governor Goodrich of Indiana, who sat under him, "the plantive pleading for a devotee people," captured the great company. He spoke for less than ten minutes. But that was golden time. When he sat down there was a burst of applause, his impressive commitment was the history of the Republican National Committee. But Roscoe Simmons had turned the case of Howard into the cause of his people. The Traitor Speaks Col. Simmons was making his way through half a hundred extended hands, when Boozie begged the chairman to be allowed to say a word. "Of course," he began, "I ain't no speaker like Col. Simmons, but I got a right to speak for the Colored folks as much as he. Let me tell you that if you want to speak for your forward back in his place, both white folks and Negroes in Mississippi will thank you. "I am a plain Negro," he went on, "and I know and keep my place. I don't want nothing the white folks don't think I ought to have. The time niftf it come for Howard. Here in disgust and at the solicitation, of members of the committee, Jacob Babbler, National Committee man, from Missouri, moved that the speaker be stopped and that the vote be approved. The Chairman, Mr. Alleged the Mississippi no concluded. "No,air, the time ain't come for us. Negroes to be in sieb places." His dying sentence was lost in the noise of whispered surprise. Vote Closes Immediately the white Jeaders surrounded the Colored leaders and assured them that Booze had reflected as much discredit upon the Republican party as upon his executive session was called. Within ten minutes the servant at arms announced the vote: Malishill 25. Howard 23. Howard lost his seat, but the Colored leaders had won a place in the esteem of the committee heretofore not enjoyable. Two years hence Howard will be National Committee. For the first time in the history of the Republican party Negro leaders stood together. There were but five of them, here, but they came on their own resources, made as gallant a fight as they had and retired defeated but not vanquished. Robert K. Church, of Memphis, head of the mighty Lincoln League and sleepless political leader of the people; Walter L. Cohen, the hero of Louisiana political history; Henry L. Johnson, who sat as a member on the Georgia; W. M. Hale, the leader of the Committee, who made the contest like a veteran; and Roscoe Conkling An Exponent Of Truth and Justice PRICE 5 CENTS NEGRO MOUND BAYOU AITOR TO RACE d/Of Mississippi, Only nional Committeeman, session At St.Louis This 23. SIMMONS MAKES T PLEA FOR HIS PEOPLE Simmons, the famous orator and idol of his people—these constituted the band of braves. They were assisted by Dr. Charles Henry Phillips, of St. Louis, who entered the contest late, but gave service and support to the cause second to Phillips in the contest, entrusted with the duty of keeping Babbler ready with facts. He did his duty. Many Mailed The white leaders who showed their colors were Babbler, of Missouri; DuPont, of Delaware; Mayor Thompson, of Chicago; Estabrook, of New Hampshire; Ralph Williams, of Oregon; Highland, of West Virginia; Tolbert, of South Carolina, and Prescott, of Utah. Collah, of Washington, D. C., held the meeting. In the opposition no surprise was expressed at the vote of Hert, of Kentucky, who does not like Colored men with stamina, but everybody was surprised that Penrose, Hylaic, of Ohio, and Homenway, of Indiana, voted against Howard. Stanley, of Kansas, went out of his way to fight Howard, while Cauley, of New York, promised in one breath to support him, and two minutes after the other way Defeated Outright. On Wednesday, H. P. MacGregor, of Texas, leader of the "Lily Whites," made a motion to instruct the National Committee to recognize the Multihill State Committee in Mississippi over the Ligon or Howard committee. Lincoln Johnson fought him to a stand still and the committee refused, to confront MacGregor and said that there was a Multihill State committee that both Howard and MacGregor would go back and fight it out. This will give Howard a good chance to beat Multihill in the next state convention. When the Republican National Committee adjourned Wednesday night the Negro was higher in respect of all than ever before, and a long covered, dark practice of a never do well was seen in the open. Babbler Deserves Thanks The loyalty and attentiveness of the Missouri National Committeeman, Jacob Babbler, deserves the gratitude of the Colored people of his state. They will not forget that he stood with them in a hard time. LEADERS AT THE NEWPORT Registered as the Newport Hotel during the week were Robert E. Church, Jr. Memphis; Walter L. Cohen, New Orleans; Perry W. Howard, Jackson, Miss; Henry Lincoln Johnson, Atlanta; and Roscoe Conkling Simmons. Their rooms were crowded night and day with a steady company of admirers and well-wishers in the cause that brought them to the city. NEW 23rd WARD REPUBLICAN CLUB The new 23d Ward Colored Republican Club, which was organized a couple of weeks ago, held its second meeting Monday night at Finney and Sarah. A large crowd was present and 36 new members were enrolled. The organization was formed by voters in the ward who heretofore have not been actively engaged in politics, but are displeased with the name which Kelvey, the present Republican comitteeman, has distributed his favors, eating to a chosen few instead of the masses. Some of the best citizens in the ward are interested in the new organization and it is claimed that more than 300 have signified their intention of joining. Thomas Brown is chairman; Dr. Julius Bell, secretary; Dr. W. H. Tyler, treasurer. The club will meet every two weeks. MONTHLY MEETING OF M.A.A.C.C.P.

Wilson, Presiding Elder of the California Conference, as the speaker. "But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus was the text announced by Dr. Wilson. "Grow" and "Grace" were the two words upon which his argument was based. Growth means reaching out, expansion, development. If is spontaneous, mysterious. Grow in grace is to grow in the Gospel. The speaker sat to a beautiful lesson, as he graphically described the elements contained in a little burr; how the burr, after being dropped into the earth, busats, and through nature's process, soon forces its way through the ground and begins to grow and expand until it becomes the mighty oak of the forest. Just so it is with the Christian. The young Christian contains all of the elements found in the old warriors. God wants them to grow. "It is for us to decide," said the speaker, "when, where and how. Whether we will grow under the benign influence of the Gospel of Christ, or out upon the mountains of sin." He closed the wonderful discourse with an admonition to the Christians to grow in grace, until like the mighty oak, they will be able to resist the terrific storms of sin, tempations and sorrows that shall assail them. While the choir effectively sang "Must I Go and Empty Handed," three united with the church. A. C. K. Loynes The Union meeting held in the Sunday school room by the three Endeavors, was largely attended. An excellent program was rendered. Every speaker was master of his subject. A special feature and pleasant surprise of the evening was the presence of Capt. C. J. Kelly, of Camp Dodge, Ft. Des Moines, Ia. In a few well-chosen words, Capt. Kelly gave a bird's eye view of camp life. Sunday was a day of feasting at St. James. Hear Dr. Peek next Sunday morning. Come early, bring your Bibles, and enjoy the alternate reading of the morning lesson. St. James accords you a hearty welcome. LANT TABERNACLE Services were held in the main auditorium Sunday. A large crowd greeted the pastor, and they were all glad to return as the Sunday school room has been the scene of preaching services for three weeks past. "Hallowed be Thy Name," was the text the pastor preached from at 11 o'clock. The sermons will all be taken from the Lord's prayer for five consecutive Sundays, "Our Father, Who Art in Heaven," having already been prescheduled. Bishop C. H. Phillips was present and addressed the congregation after the pastor's sermon, and said after hearing such a beautiful sermon, everyone present should feel much closer to God. The Bishop said that after traveling over a great portion of his district that he was then addressing the largest congregation he had seen this year. Bishop Phillips presides over the 4th Episcopal District, which includes Ohio, Kentucky, and parts of Tennessee. The passing bell has tollled for Mrs. Annie Proby. The funeral that was held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock will long be remembered by every one that was present. Mrs. Proby died Thursday, evening, February 7th. She was a member of the Morning Star Sunday school class who had charge of the services, and was also a member of the Sunset Sunday School Club. It is not very often that a Sunday school class is found in charge of a funeral. But the great manifestation of grief by these members showed what a great Sunday school worker the deceased had been and how they all loved her. Her home at 3698 Faxway Ave. had been the scene of many jubilant Sunday school gatherings, and she surprised members of the Sunset Club, which was organized at her home, by giving them beautiful napkins with the American flag engraved, for souvenirs. Her happiest moments seemed to be when she Sunday school friends, showering her hospitality upon them. Every member admits that the meetings and social gatherings given at the home of Mrs. Proby always wound up in eclat. There was not a moment after her death until the funeral was held that some of the Morning Star members were not present to administer unto the breaved family. Saturday evening, the house was filled with members of this class, most of them remaining until day. Among them was the Tarthful superintendent: She leaves a husband, one sister, three brothers and a host of other relatives to mourn their loss. But these are not all, from the number of floral gifts, and from the crowd that attended the funeral, showed that this dear lady's friends ran high in numbers. She will be missed in Sunday school, she will be missed in church, she will be missed by friends, whose joy it was to know and love a good lady. But those of us who knew her and those of us, who have a verbal list of friends that have gone before, who next to our own dear relatives, we will be quick to seek when we get to heaven, must add Mrs. Proby to that ever increasing list. Morning Star Class We wish to thank the pastor, Rev. Smith, for the beautiful sermon which built a memorial in the hearts of strangers for our deceased member, Mrs. Annie Proby. We thank Mrs. Hancock, the organist, for the beautiful music rendered, also members of the choir that helped our class render selections. We also thank Mr. P. E. Ross and Mr. W. H. Brown, for excellent services rendered. G. W. Hamilton, President, Josephine Maupin, Secretary; Ella Carr, Treasurer; Elinora Hudson, Asst. Secretary Morning Star Class. METROPOLITAN NOTES On Sunday morning past, what a beautiful and enthusiastic crowd greeted our Presiding Elder, Rev. F. W. Alstork.

Next Sunday morning and night, Dr. B. G. Shaw will preach his matchless sermon, and we hope a crowded house will be present to greet the pastor, after several Sundays' vacation from the pulpit.

CHURCH NOTES To our agreeable surprise, Rev. J. D. Barkadele, P. R. of the Cape Girardeau District was with us Sunday morning selecting for his text, Philippa third chapter and seventh verse. The good presiding elder seems to have been at his best, and it was evident that the sermon was well prepared, from the way and manner in which he delivered his illustrations and was in keeping with his text. The sermon was interesting to say the faith, and was usually naturally recounted. The young pastor came from Camp Funston on furough, was happily converted and united with the church. Rev. Barksdale left an impression that will longinger in the minds of his hearers. Owing to his fitness it is hoped that he will second the late J. Frank McDonald as editor of the Southwestern Christian Recorder. If so, the church will take on new life west of the Mississippi. So far as the generalistic news are concerned Bishop H. B. Parks was with us Sunday night, and in a few well chosen words he explained to the congregation why Nashville would entertain the general conference in 1920. One of the main reasons was that general conference was held in Missouri, about six years ago, and in Tennessee about forty-eight years ago. Bishop Parks, speaking for the Fifth Episcopal District could not contend for the general conference after reasoning the facts in the case. So when he had outlined the situation to the St. Paul congregation we readily agreed that he was right and bowed to his judgment. Harry M.

Senate Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., U.S.A. In the dull season, of the year he set about to raise $1,250.00 and to our surprise, when the roll was called, something like $1,500.00 was laid on the table by the members and friends of St. Paul A. M. E. Church. In his second effort he has studied the condition of things in general, and has asked his congregation for $3,500.00 and has so figured it out that none need give over $3.00 or $4.00 and that at the rate of 25e per week. Said rally is to come off the last of March this year, and if he fails in this effort it will not be on the part of the pastor, because the system is an excellent one. So it's up, to each individual to do his or her whole duty.-Secretary. WAYMAN A. M. E. CHURCH Last Sunday at Wayman A. M. E. Church will long be remembered by all who heard our bishop who is a great speaker. Text was taken from Prov. 27:19.

NOW NI YOU ARE TAKE A MANY YOU L Pecan Point, Ark.—Brown McCadden was born in Yanceville, North Carolina, December 25, 1860, and died February 4, 1918, at 7:00 p.m. He was a faithful member of Triumph Baptist Church of Pecan Point, Ark, which he built for or the place. He was a Master Mason and a member of Terrestrial Lodge No. 87 which he organized. His death was a shock to the community. After being confined to his bed for three weeks with heart trouble, pneumonia developed, which caused a rapid change for the worse. He was conscious of his condition and sent for his pastor, Rev. Chesa Noteney, and another friend and religious adviser, Rev. David Poston. When they came he said to them, "Well, you are here at last, but you are almost too late." He said "Poston, I'm tired, I want rest, I'm on my rapid march to Glory." Then he said to Rev. Poston, "I want you to do something for me, will you do it? I want you to preach my funeral." Rev. Poston answered, "I will do it." He then said, "I want you to sing and pray for me. Sing, Farewell, Farewell to All Below, My Savior Calls and I Must Go," and "Death May Dissolve My Body Now." He said to his loving wife, "Sweet, you have done all you could for me and has the doctor, but all have failed, Sweet, I'm gone, goodbye." He leaves a loving wife, three brothers, two sisters and a host of friends to mourn their loss. Mrs. Charlotte Byrd whose farm joins Mr. Brown McCadden; Mrs. Rosa Robinson, her daughter; Mrs. Robin Lee Robinson, of Memphis; relatives and a host of friends were over at the bedside of Mr. McCadden during his illness.

TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR You Need A Real Scalp Food There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use of your scalp, be sure and get a remedy of provon merit. Seebys Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair; causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced, registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get the best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasacp. Quinasacp is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasacp lathens very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasacp, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co., 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper.—Adv.

LILLY WHITE'S GAIN VICTORY The action of the executive committee of the Republican National Convention, which convened in this city during the week in seating Mr. J. L. Mulvihill of Mississippi, by a vote of 25 to 23, against Perry W. Howard. Attorney of the same State, who was regularly elected as a delegate to that body, shows signs of playing into the hands of the "Lilly Whites." As most of our readers no doubt know, the "Lilly Whites" is an organization known in the south, who does not allow the Negro to take any part, in their Party organizations, and who are veneered with a Republicanism that is far from the principles of the Republican Party of Abraham Lincoln. The very fact that the contest was close readily shows, that the preponderance of evidence was in Mr. Howard's favor and we regret very much that the good Republicans in sessions at this Convention, did not see the importance of setting its seal of disapproval upon a "Lilly White" machine going up in the regular Republican organization, which is characteristic of many sections of the south. We think it is time that the Republican Party with its strong leaders should wake up to the situation and fully realize the mistakes that the G. O. P. has made by catering to the sentiment of a few southerners who believe that the Negro has no right to participate in politics. These mistakes have been costly to the party. It is to be remembered that the Republican Party was in power when disfranchisement acts were enacted in State Constitutions, that disfranchised most all of the Negroes in the south. They, through lack of courage or indifference, allowed these things to go on for the past nearly 40 years, and the results are today, that the Democrats are in power, and it seems from the actions of the Republican Committee in seating Mulvihill, that they intend for the Democratic Party to still remain in power. The Lilly Whites are as a rule, composed of a few disgruntled, camouflaged, Republicans, and while their numbers are limited, yet there is just enough of them to make trouble for the G. O. P. We are pleased to note that our State Committeeman, Hon. J. L. Babler, acting in accordance with the wishes of his constituents, made a manly stand for the seating of Mr. Howard, as a regularly elected delegate to the Convention. We also note that most of the delegates from the northern States took the right view on the question. Such men can always be counted on as true Republicans, who do not hold in their eyes the petty race prejudices greater than the Grand Old Party. We believe that it is high time, that the Republican Party should rise above the small things and put on her cloak of strength that she once had and declare herself for the principles which gives every man an equal right; but as long as they allow socalled "Lilly Whites" to unseat a regularly elected delegate, merely because he is colored, and set its hand of approval on the same, the Republican Party will continue to suffer the losses which it has experienced during the last four or six years. MOB PHQBIA AGAIN IN TENNESSEE. Following close on the heels of the lynchings by burning of a human being at Iyersburgh, the mob Phobia has again broke loose at Estell Springs, Tenn., and another poor, helpless and defenseless Negro is tortured and burned at the stake, to satisfy the blood thirsty, semi-savage white people of that community. It is charged, according to press dispatches, that the victim had killed two white men. The cause of the killing was not fully stated in the news item, but it has been learned through a reliable source that the Negro was a victim of a plot, and the real murderers are yet at large, and they are not colored men either. It is stated that the Negro plead with the mob and protested his innocence to the very last. Even according to their own statement, there is much doubt as to the Negro's guilt. The alleged confession, after applications of Red Hot Irona and tortures beyond any acts of the most savage people in all the world, true to the characteristics of the southern mobs, they give out the statement that "he confessed." Shame! Shame! on America. Shame on her sense of justice. These murderers are getting bolder every day. They are being born thousands at a time. They have watched the outcome of other burnings and lynchings. They see that no effort is made to punish those who take part in these atrocities. They have used their white skins as a license to kill and murder the blacks at will. The state officials are rotten to the core. They are blinded by race prejudice. Our Last Ray of Hope is in Uncle Sam, state rights and state justices have utterly failed to protect the Negro. Just why the President has and does continually turn a deaf ear to the prayers supplications of ten millions Negroes for simple rights and human justice we cannot understand. Emmet J. Scott a representative of the race, who is closely connected in an advisory capacity with the President, surely will lay this matter before the President, and plead with him in behalf of our race. He will point out what a tremendous influence that the president has over the American people at this time. He will urge upon the president to speak one word against mob violence, and one word for equal justice, before the law, for ten millions loyal Americans. President Wilson in his message to Congress, his peace plans and his eloquent appeals for the Belgians has won for himself the admiration of the oppressed of Europe. Why not speak the word of hope to the ten millious oppressed in America? The people will hear his words. The people must hear his words. He has spoken and prolonged the lives of the hogs and cattle, by the "meatless-day." He has spoken and stopped the rocks from crushing the life out of wheat and called it "wheatless day" and we dare not violate any of these orders. There seems to be no doubt as to his power breathing every cate, but the Negroes'. The President as the head of this government owes it to his high office to see that the right of the most humblest citizen is protected, especially the young men of our race who are called away from their home to the different cantonments and some across the sea, to serve and lay down their lives to up-hold the honor of this nation. These men should be encouraged by the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy with the assurance that while they are fighting to help make the world safe for Democracy, their loved-ones left behind in a Christian land will be protected from mob violence.

TO A SOLDIER IN FRANCE Oh, if today you dream of home, Think of the road we know Untangling a blue skim of hills; And how the birches grow Again the thorn and of that day. Only a year ago! For here alone 'those hills again Your little son and I As wishing the enchanted trail Would you come? And drop us in a Flanders field To see you marching by. And now the child is eager for A wonder-tale of Greece. I will blow how you sailed away Like a sea swimmer. Jesus tells us plainly why he taught so much by means of parables ( Matt. 13:10-13). The truth had to be taught; hence the parable, that those to whom it was given to know the messages of the kingdom, those who sought it, might know and understand, and that to the others it might be hidden (Mark 4:11, 12). Like all his parables, Jesus draws his pictures from the common experiences of life—the field, the home, etc. Paul draws his illustrations chiefly from the city, the army, the market. In studying this lesson we must turn to the parallel account as given by Luke and Matthew to get the full and complete picture. What is the seed? Luke says that Jesus told his disciples that the seed was the Word of God (Luke 18:11). We get the same thought in verse fourteen of the lesson. A great deal is being made today of seed selection. Some wonderful results have been obtained. How much more important for those of us who deal with immortal souls that we select the best seed, i. e., the Word of God. The second consideration is the sower (v. 4). Notice he went forth not to "soar," not is it recorded that he was "sore" because the people did not all receive the seed alike. He did not have a grouch; he did not enter into his work that he might receive the adulation of men (Matt. 6:2). It is, however, the "soll" that seems to be most emphasized in both the direct teaching and also the explanation of the parable. There are four kinds of soil. The manner by which the seed came into contact with each kind of soil is significant. Some fell, "by" the wayside; the path was well trodden; the ground was preoccupied; e. g. it was used for other purposes than to yield a harvest; it was hard to be broken, and hence it was an easy matter for the birds of the air (v. 15) to come and pluck it away. We need to remember that if men, receive with meekness the implanted word, there will, of course, be no such opportunity for the evil one. The trouble in this case was that the Word was not implanted. Thus it is that one-fourth of the seed is lost. The result is a deplorable one as we see from Heb. 2:1-4. Is the soil of our life so hard that God must drive the plowshare clean through it ere there is a chance for the seed to take root? (Pa. 129:3). The next fell "on" the rocky ground. The first is a picture of the hardened, and this is a picture of the superficial hearer. For a time they did run well. They even received the Word with gladness (v. 16), but they had no stability because they had no root. They were superficial. There was no chance for the seed to get a real grip on their lives. The earth yields its increase though we do not understand. So God will add his 80 per cent to our 5 per cent. The oak tree comes from small seed. In the third place Jesus speaks of the seed that fell "among" the thorns. Here is the worldly soil. It is not so much the character of the soil, it is the character of that which already occupied the soil are the sower sowed the seed. The cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches and "other things" had so entered in that the good seed never had a chance in the soil of the human heart. It was choked and yielded no fruit. There was no real grip of the will, no whole-hearted surrender. The cares of life that keep the housewife or the business man; the deceitfulness of riches that snare men and choke the word which at one time gave such promise in their lives; the lusts and other things which the evil one knows so well how to use keep us from the Word, for Satan knows that by it we are to be saved (Luke 18:12). Are we impulsive? Do we make rows soon forgotten, ties that soon fade away or fall beneath the temptations for lack of root? May God blast and turn up the subsoil of our hearts by strong convictions of sin, and so occupy the soil that there is no opportunity for other things. We have thus seen three-fourths of the seed lost. Of the remaining fourth, that which fell "into" (R. V.) the good soil, not all yielded the same return. It all brought forth (v. 7); it all yielded; it all sprang up, but not all in the same ratio. There are three distinguishing features of this last kind-of-hearers: (1) They hear the Word. These are the ones who appreciate its value and give good heed to its precepts. (2) They accept it a. g. they understand its teachings. They take it into good and honest hearts. (3) They hold it fast (Luke 8:15 R. V.) These are the ones of which martyria are made. Jesus was a great open-air preacher (vv. 1 2) and like all others he has various kinds of hearers the half-hearted hearer the shallow-hearted hearer. The way to reach the masses is to go where the masses are. GATES & MANUEL ...Undertakers... Ask Those Whom We Have Served Delmar 922 Lindell 569® 4107 FINNEX AVE. A. RUSSELL UNDERTAKING CO.

Dowell, who departed this life five years ago, Feb. 18, 1913. The path by which we twain did go, Which led by tracts that pleased us well, Thru four sweet years arose and fell, From flower to flower, from snow to snow. But where the path we walked be gan To shant the fifth winter slope, As we walk the following days, There set the shadow forced by man; Who broke our fair companionship And spread his mantle dark and cold, And wrapped these formless in the fold, And dulled the murmur on the lip." —Edna Wade.

Heroic Women of France They Have Even Stepped Into the Place of Work Animals Heroic Women of France They Have Even Stepped Into the Place of Work Animals My words are not powerful enough to do even scanty justice to the most heroic figure in the modern world; and of once past—the woman of France. Of the healthy men who are engaged, in the military service in France, practically all are engaged either in transportation or in the manufacture of munitions, leaving the agriculture absolutely to the women. Not only this, but they have stepped into the place of work animals; you can go into any section of France today and see women of magnificent, noble womanhood hitched to the plow and cultivating the soil. All of the agriculture rests upon their shoulders. The home, always an extremely efficient home; maintains a few old men, the wounded and the THE BAY OF THE RIVER tubercular. Uncomplaining, with high devotion, with an attitude that amounts almost to religious exaltation, the woman of France bears the burden. Now, conditions being as they are, does it lie within the heart of the American people to preserve and hold to every convenience of our life at the expense of adding an additional burden to the womanhood of France? This is the exact question that is involved in our substitution of other cereals in place of wheat. The women of France must be enabled to hold up the morale of the French soldier until next spring. The morale of the house decides the morale of the soldier in the fighting line. We can do this by giving to them the greatest possible freedom in their food supply, and of this, wheat is the chief factor. HINTS FOR THE POULTRY GROWERS In addition to the grain and the table scraps in feeding chickens for meat and eggs, it is well to feed a dry mash. This dry mash is composed of various ground grains and is placed in a mash hopper or box from which the hens can help themselves. The advantage of feeding such a mash is that the hens always have access to feed, and this tends to make up for any faulty, inexperienced, or insufficient feeding. The hens do not like the dry mash so well that they are likely to overheat, but it will supply a source of feed in case they are not getting enough. The dry mash also provides a suitable medium for feeding beef scrap, a certain amount of which may or may not be necessary, depending upon the amount of meat scraps available in the table waste. If the hens show a tendency to become overfat it may be desirable to close the mash hopper during a part of the day and allow them access to it only during a certain period, preferably the afternoon. A good dry mash is composed of equal parts by weight of cornmeal, wheat bran, wheat middlings, and beef scrap. Another good mash is composed of three parts by weight of cornmeal and one part beef scrap. Still a third mash, which has given excellent results, is composed of one pound of wheat bran, one pound of wheat middlings, 0.5 pounds of beef scrap, and 16.5 pounds of cornmeal. The beef scrap used in the dry mash is usually the most expensive ingredient, but it is a very essential part of the mash and very efficient for beef production. It should not be eliminated or reduced unless the quantity of meat in the table scraps is considerable or unless some other product can be substituted for it. Fish scrap, when available, may replace the beef scrap, or cottonseed meal can be used to replace one-half the beef scrap in the mash. No attempt should be made to replace more than half the beef scrap with cottonseed meal, as the results in egg production and in the quality of the eggs will be unsatisfactory. Green cut bone can often be purchased from the butcher. This material when procured fresh makes an excellent substitute for beef scrap. It should be purchased in small quantities, as it can not be kept fresh for any length of time and when spoiled may cause sever bowel trouble. It is best fed in a trough not offender than every other day, allowing about one half ounce per bird. Should severe or continued locoseness of the bowels follow the feeding of green cut bone it should be discontinued or the quantity reduced. Vegetable tops, parings, and other vegetable refuse supply a valuable and very necessary green feed for the hens. Lawn clippings also are a valuable green feed. They can be fed as soon as cut, or they may be dried or cured, stored in bags, and saved until winter, when they can be soaked in warm water and fed in that condition or be mixed with some of the mash or with the table, scraps. "Buddeelized Milk" Can Be Kept Twenty-One Days, Two Physicians Declare There is a way of preserving milk for 21 days without spoiling it in any way: Health Commissioner John Dill Roberson and Dr. W. A. Evans, former commissoner, testified to this before the Chicago milk commission. It's called "Buddiseed milk" and it's treated to a 1 per cent solution of peroxide, and then heated to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The use of this milk would not only bring down the price, Doctor Robinson, testified, but it would certainly prevent any possibility of a milk famine when the railreads are stormbound. The use of the "Buddedized" milk, the two doctors said, permits wholesale buying by the housewife, and permits the bringing of milk from greater distances. It will permit a city to get a price that is determined on a butter-fat and cheese factory basis—which is much less, they say, than the present prices. Things Worth Knowing.

THE EAST INDIA HAIR GROWER The lure of service in the Merchant Marine was more services than war, and it is noticed by officials that many of the candidates for places aboard ship are members of a partner going families. Among the many young Americans now applying to the United States shipping board's recruiting service for training as deck officers, there appeared the other day one named Ashton, who was accepted and placed in a navigation school. He said the dangers of the submarine zone had no terrors for him; that he came of a family of mariners who in earlier times had faced many dangers from wars, pirates and at sea and were ever ready to sail again. To prove his statement the candidate produced a book detailing the adventures of one of his ancestors, who was seized by pirates, escaped from them, and lived nearly two years like Robbison Crusoe on a desert island, but never regretted that he chose the life of a sailor. This was Phillip, Ashton of Marblehead, whose adventures were so extraordinary that Pastor John Barnard made the young man's safe return home the subject of a sermon; from the text, "If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning, fury furnace, and he will deliver us out of thy hands, O King." Phillip Ashton commanded a fishing schooner, with a crew of four men and a boy, and when harboring for Sunday near Cape Sable, Nova Scotia, he was seized by one Ned Low, a pirate, who also took a dozen other peaceful fishing craft. Putting his prisoners aboard his own ship, to be sent to Boston, Low, transferred his crew to a Marblehead schooner, and started anew. Ashton was pressed into his service, at the point of a pistol. The pirates ranged the seas eastward, and off the Azores captured a large Portugese pink. In this, with the schooner in company, they sailed to "the Triangles, about forty leagues to the eastward of Surinam." Here they lost the pink, which filled and sank while being careened for cleaning. Resuming their cruise in the schooner, they took several prizes in the West Indies. They then proceeded to the Gulf of Honduras, where they landed or-an island, built huts and proceeded to spend their time in carousel. Ashton had been ever watchful for a chance to escape, and here one presented itself. The cooper being sent Preaching Sunday at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. Sunday school 1 p.m., B. Y. P. U. at 8:30 p.m. Communion every second Sunday. Rev. J. F. Greenwood, of Memphis, Tenn., pastor; Rosie Robertson, secretary. For five days the young American sat at the edge of the woods and watched the island of the pirates. On the fifth day their ship sailed away and he felt safe, even though alone on a desert island. Clad only in "an Osnaburg frock and trousers, a milled cap, but neither shirt, shoes, stockings nor anything else," the youth lived alone nine months on this island. He found it to be "well-watered, with high hills and deep valleys." in which were many fruit trees. He lived on figs, cocoputs and "ad orange, oval-shaped, of a brownish color without, and red within." There were wild pigs on the island, and turtles on the beach, but he had no knife or weapon, and no means of making fire for cooking meat. One day the young Crusoe saw a small cove approaching the island. As it grounded on the beach, a man stepped out of it. He proved to be a "native of North Britain, well advanced in years, of a grave and venerable aspect," who had "lived for years with the Spanlands," but had fled from them when persecuted. "For three days the Scot lived on the island with the lad. Then he started for another island, to "kill wild hogs." Ashton was too weak to go with him. A storm came up, and Ashton never saw him again. But the youth now had a knife and a flint, and life to him became endurable. He roasted the delicate flesh of the tortoise, and regained strength on the diet it afforded. Three months passed. Then the young sailor, wandering on the beach, found the old man's canoe stranded. In this he left the island, and reached another; but being chased away by buccaneers he kept on, finally reaching the island of Boatan. Here he lived alone seven months more, being finally joined by a party of Englishmen, refugees from the main. The party was attacked by pirates, but Ashton and a companion escaped in a small boat, and succeeding in finding an English vessel among the islands of Honduras gulf. Transferred finally to a Yankee ship, Ashton reached home in 1725, having been absent two years, ten months and fifteen days. He soon went to sea again.

It is necessary, that she make a "good matriarch," and because of the wants of creatives, she is finally forced to marry a multimillionaire many years her senior. She finds herself little more than that a fine piece of furniture which he displays to his friends to gratify his pride, and she leaves him. A former sweetheart provides her with money to enable her to study for an operatic career, but she makes little progress, until another man, Donald Keith, shows her that success is to be reached only through self-denial. She then learns that she never was legally the wife of the multimillionaire, as he had a wife living in an insane asylum. Finally she achieves her ambition and is free to marry the man of her choice.

Do you believe the pacifists and pro-Germans? Read this extract from a speech by Secretary of Labor Wilson at St. Paul: "If this is a capitalists' war, then it follows that congress and the president have been dominated by capitalism in declaring war, and it would follow also that they would be dominated by capitalism in pursuing the war. And yet, instead of permitting capital to secure profits at will, one of the first powers granted the war administration was to fix prices at which capitalists should sell their products of labor; the selling price of coal at the mines was fixed the price of wheat, the price of certain metal products and the price of copper fixed. "But in no instance has there been any attempt on the part of the administration to fix the maximum price that should be paid for labor. "This is a war of the people of the United States for their liberty. If our boys are willing to sacrifice their lives, if need be, surely we who remain at home ought to sacrifice our pride, our prejudices and our suspicions and provide our full man power in preparing the material by which these boys will defend our country." Two Bits a Day Clubs, the New Way of Aiding the War A movement has been inaugurated in Phoenix, Ariz., for the formation of "Two Bits a Day" clubs, the members of which are to buy a quarter's worth of thrift stamps every day. Three men each took 100 thrift cards, pasted one stamp on each, card and sold the entire lot before two blocks had been covered. "Two bits" is the old term, dating back to the early days of the country, and is still used in the South and West. Every patriotic American now wants "to do his bit," says a treasury department bulletin. The members of these clubs are carrying out this idea finely in doing their "two bits" every day. It is hoped that "Two Bits a Day" clubs will be formed all over the country in the great war-savings campaign. Beans and Aviation. No one would ever associate the humble bean with the success or failure of a great aircraft program, writes H. E. Coffin, in the Saturday, Evening Post, and yet just now we are arranging for the planting in America of a hundred thousand acres of castor beans, the oil from which is a vital necessity to the smooth running of aircraft engines.

Hart and Douglas Fairbanks U. S. LOAN CORPORATION WOULD ASSIST ALL ESSENTIAL INDUSTRIES. Private issues of Securities of $100,000 or More Would Have to Be Approved. Washington—Creation of a $500,000,000 government corporation to make loans and advances to enter primes essential to the war and other wise assist in private financing was recommended to congress by Secretary McAdoo. The secretary also asked that all private issues of securities of more than $100,000 be made subject to the approval of the government body, to be known as the "War Finance Corporation." The proposed corporation would have power to make advances to banks which finance industries essential to the war or to buy direct the securities of such corporations, subject to certain restrictions concerning price and length of the loans. The corporation also would make short time advances to savings banks. To Deal in L. S. Bonds. Further powers of the corporation would be to subscribe for, acquire and own, buy, sell and deal in bonds and obligations of the United States. It could issue notes or bonds of it own of an amount net more than eight times its capital, which would be supplied originally by the government. The corporation would be managed by the secretary of the treasury and four directors to be appointed by the secretary with the approval of the president. The effect of the plan would be to create practically a government pool of all corporate, financing for the period of the war, and would give bread powers to the corporation, to dictate into what channels the nation's available credit should be directed. EXPECTS FIERCE U-BOAT WAR Weekly Review Says That Germany is Repairing Submarines for a Great Offensive. Washington—The flow of men, munitions and supplies from America to France in the objective on which Germany will center her strongest offensive this spring, is announced by Secretary Baker in the weekly war-review. U-boats which have been operating in the Atlantic lanes have been recalled for repairs in preparation for the drive on trans-Atlantic shipping, he asserts. Secretary Baker points out that the submarine attacks will probably be accompanied by the expected German drive on the west front. Recently there has been a marked decrease in the number of allied merchant ships sunk by U-boats. The explanation for this is found in the withdrawal of submarines in preparation for the coming thrust on land and sea. Washington—Licensing of all oil wells is to be the next step in fuel control. Oil Director Sequa has been working on a special plan, for government control of the oil output for several weeks. Fuel Administrator Garfield favors the plan. Bread Cards in Paris Paris.—All Paris went on bread rations. Henceforth a card must be presented whenever bread is to be purchased. Each person is entitled to 10 ounces, daily.

Dishonorable discharges from the army, which many officers believe have been seized upon by slackers as the vehicle of escape from military service, will no longer provide such opportunity, under an order issued by Secretary Baker. For several weeks the army has been losing men at the rate of 100 to 150 a day. They chose to commit offences which led to their dishonorable discharge. In the future, Secretary Baker ordered, such men will get terms of imprisonment with their discharges, and whenever possible some other form of sentence will be used. Bits of Wisdom. Good habits of some men are as expensive as the bad habits of others. A woman isn't necessarily homely because she is unspeakably beautiful. When a man is really in love he thinks there is but one woman in the world. Some people never know when to stop and others never know when to begin. The man, who marries an orphan can't blame his troubles on his wife's mother. A wise woman always lets herself get the worst of an argument with an egotist. Raby Undergone Operation.
