VOL. 2, NO. 14 THOMAS MORGAN MADE DIRECTOR OF CREDIT UNION Negro Postal Workers Hold Offices and Co-Operate in Organization. Unions Promote Thrift Credit Unions Have No Equal as a Practical Means for Teaching Thrift. Thomas R. Morgan, well known postal clerk and publisher of the Helper, a church periodical, was unanimously elected a member of the board of directors at the election of officers and directors that took place at the annual meeting of the St. Paul Postal Credit Union, held Wednesday evening, January 26th, at the Main Post Office. Mr. Morgan has been a postal worker for the past 13 years. Credit Union Purposes. One of the purposes of the Credit Union is the promotion of thrift among postal workers. Recently in a letter to members of Service Councils, Harry S. Dennison, Director of Service Relations, writes: "It has been said that Credit Unions are demonstrating in increasing measures their great value to accomplish at least three things: (1) They promote thrift by supplying a convenient, regular and systematic means for saving; (2) they demonstrate that by the co-operative credit plan, provision is made for borrowing for provident purposes at normal rates of interest; (3) they turn out to be educators, capable of bringing knowledge to the members on matters of finance. One writer has this to say about the Credit Union: 'As a practical means for teaching thrift, and the fundamentals of finance, the Credit Union has no equal. As a formula for promoting good fellowship, fraternity and Americanism, it serves equally the employer and the workers. Those who promote and operate a Credit Union come in close relations with the human problems of their associations.' Organizations Grow. "The first postal Credit Union was organized four years ago, January 5, 1923, with eight shareholders owning ten shares of stock and assets of less than $20.00. There now are sixty-five such organizations and five other groups are planning to organize during the present month, and in all probability on January 17. It is believed the number will reach 100 by the end of this year. The amount paid on shares, by approximately 12,000 shareholders, represents more than $600,000 and fully indicates the thrift value of this movement, since this amount has been accumulated by the regular and systematic payments on shares of small amounts, generally 10 to 25 cents, weekly or semi-monthly. As a means for promoting thrift and furnishing members with credit facilities for provident purposes, it has proved a decided success in the postal service and it is difficult to predict the future growth and development. One postal Credit Union now has assets of $150,000, all accumulated by the Credit Union procedure as outlined above." Lerman Organizes. Attorney Louis E. Lerman of the law firm of Mallory and Lerman organized the St. Paul Postal Credit Union, and it now has about 200 shareholders, and their monthly deposits total about $700. R. L. Stokes was one of the incorporators and John H. Hickman, Jr., was elected on the first board of directors, serving one year. Charles J. Moos, St. Paul postmaster, in a statement to an "Echo" representative, stated that the department endorsed the Credit Unions and that he believed the local Credit Union will be of great help to the postal workers and that he wished to do all he could to promote the functioning of the organization.

CAPTAIN GODETTE RECEIVES CHARM CAPTAIN GODETTE RECEIVES CHARM Long Period of Service Marked by Many Miraculous Experiences. On Thursday evening January 27th, 1927 a testimonial was given at the Sterling club for Captain Wm. R. Godette who retired from the St. Paul fire department in 1926 after serving 41 years. Captain Godette's long period of service is marked by many miraculous experiences that date back from the horse drawn, crude fire fighting apparatus, to the most modern motor driven and mechanical devices, linked with technical teachings and life saving methods. Speakers at the testimonial were Tom O'Connell, assistant to the commissioner of Public Safety and secretary of the Firemen's Union; Father Lealatt; acting Captain Davenport of No. 9; Geo. Charleston, retired pipeman of No. 9, who served 20 years, Chief Dunn was present but was forced to leave on account of a call from a fire. Sterling club members presented Captain Godette with a beautiful white gold Masonic watch charm with this inscription: "Presented to Captain Wm. R. Godette, City Fire Department 1885-1926 by the Sterling Club." The presentation speech was made by President Wiggington and Mr. O. C. Hall presided. Mrs. Hattie Olliver rendered a solo. ERMINE HALL IN RECITAL Miss Ermine Hall, sixteen-year-old soprano, will appear in song recital Thursday evening, Feb. 10, at St. James A. M. E. church. Assisting in the program will be Miss Anna Foster, reader, and Miss Dorothy Hall, accompanist. Miss Hall is aspiring for the concert stage and is a student of Minnesota College, where she is working for a diploma. Those who heard her before know she is well worth hearing again. BETTER MUSIC CLUB TO GIVE STUDENT DANCE The Better Music club will give a dance at Phyllis Wheatley House Friday evening, Feb. 11, 1927. Al Freeman's Black and Gold Orchestra will furnish the music, and a good time is assured. Dancing from 7:30 to 11:30. Admission 35 cents. The club wishes to thank those who attended their dance given at the Minneapolis Coliseum, for their efforts in making the affair such a marked success. The Friday night dances are given for the convenience of the University and other school friends of the club who might not be able to attend on other evenings. The excellent music played by Al Freeman's orchestra should attract a good crowd. The club cordially invites all to attend. Join the Northwestern Negro Business and Professional Men's Association.

PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1927 No Fundamental Differences Of Heart Between The White And The Colored Man, Says Rotarian NATIONAL NEGRO HISTORY WEEK TO BE CELEBRATED NATIONAL NEGRO HISTORY WEEK TO BE CELEBRATED Schools, Churches and Social Agencies Giving Time to Neglected Records. Exercises Will Be Held The Negro Must Learn His Past and Publish it to This Prejudiced World. Washington, D. C., Feb. 3.—Schools, churches and social agencies will pause during the week of February 6th to 13th inclusive, to invite attention to the long neglected record of the Negro. This Week, which covers the birthday of Lincoln and approaches that of Douglass, is a most appropriate occasion for this timely observance. Around the story of these great characters and others who have worked for the benefit of humanity and for the Negro in particular, the brilliant record of the Negro may be so dramatized as to inspire the Negro youth to noble deeds. Exercises Arranged. To invite attention to the romantic story of the Negro, there have been engaged throughout the country numerous teachers, ministers, professional men, and leaders of business who will participate in various exercises held throughout the Week. Public schools will use the hour of assembly for this purpose. City and state school authorities have set aside special days of this Week and social uplift agencies will hold appropriate exercises in the evenings. The enthusiasm has decidedly increased since last year, when this celebration was held for the first time, and the preliminary reports from the field indicate that it will be in every sense of the word a national celebration. Communities to organize. The people throughout the country have been called upon to do certain definite things. They are asked to organize their community through committees for the celebration, to appeal to their boards of education for the adoption of Negro history textbooks, to interest their library and school in securing a shelf of scientific works on the Negro and pictures of distinguished men of the race, to urge every one to write to the Association all he knows about Negro family history and to send it any important documents bearing on the record of the Negro. Claims Misunderstandings Cause Unfriendliness Between Races. Berkeley, Cal., Jan.—(Pacific Coast News Bureau). "Have you ever thought of the good qualities of the Negro?" was the pertinent question asked the assembled Rotarians at the recent meeting of the Berkeley Rotary Club, by their Chairman Charles Keeler, who is also managing director of the Berkeley Chamber of Commerce. "In the past we have been capitalizing their worst qualities. Why would it not be better to capitalize their best points?" asked Mr. Keeler. "There is need for a greater understanding between the white and dark races. It is only misunderstanding which causes any feeling other than friendliness. Kipling was wrong when he said 'East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet.' The differences between races are differences of custom only; there is no fundamental difference of heart between the white and colored man." "The advancement of understanding, good will and international peace through a world fellowship of business and professional men unite in the Rotary ideal of service" the sixth object of the Rotary Clubs Mr Keeler explained and told his audience of Rotarians from San Francisco, Oakland, Portland and other points, and that their object boiled down meant the "Brotherhood of Man." Negroes Here To Stay. Referring to the idea of some people that the race problem could be THE MACHINE From a little two by four shoe shining stand, 30 years ago, in the Scandinavian Bank Bldg. at 6th and Jackson Sts. Owen Howell the proprietor, has steadily increased his business and kept pace with the times and is now conducting the only all modern shop in St. Paul, known as the Up-Town Sanitary shop at 372 Wabasha St. His latest improvement was the installation of a new electrically operated shoe shining stand. Mr. Howell states that, "The brushes on this machine are operated at a speed of 1200 revolutions a minute. Brushes TODD MANAGES REST TODD MANAGES REST Mr. A. J.

The Rest will be open during each day from 12-12 for members only. All members are requested to come out during their leisure hours and use the Rest for their comfort, pleasure and meeting place. settled by having the Negroes in the United States colonize in Liberia, Mr. Keeler said, "There are some eleven or twelve million Negroes in the United States and if they were to leave at the rate of a steamer load of 1,154 each week, only the increase would be leaving. This shows the impracticability of the plan. They were brought here as slaves and they are here to stay." "Moreover the Negroes are coming from the South into the North" Mr. Keeler continued. "They want more freedom and a better life which they find in the North. So the South is now becoming worried, the attitude of the Southerner is changing and he is treating the Negro better because he does not want to lose the working population of his section." Mr. Keeler gave many interesting facts about the colored people in Berkeley as developed by a Chamber of Commerce survey recently made. This showed that there are 700 Negroes in Berkeley and the same number of Japanese, Chinese number 279 and there is a sprinkling of other oriental nationalities. "The Negroes coming to Berkeley are the finest of the Race," declared Mr. Keeler. "They come here because Berkeley is a superior City, one in which they find the most advantages for culture. Sixty-one per cent own their own homes here, and ninety per cent have books and buy good periodicals. They have good homes, good gardens, and are good citizens. Very few Negroes made any trouble. In Berkeley their chil- are 12 inches in circumference, making a total of 20 lineal feet of brush passing over the shoe every second.

"It is Berkeley's problem to establish just and astisfactory relations between the white and Negro population. So far, only the covenant plan has been proposed. But this is a selfish and non-constructive policy. Have you ever thought of the good qualities of the Negroes? They are genial, good-natured, fond of music, and they make the best and gentlest of nurses. Why would it not be better to capitalize their best points? Take for instance their natural love for music, and develop it. The right man should form a choral society of Negroes in Berkeley that would be a source of pleasure and benefit to the community. suggests Distinctive Architecture. "Under the proper leadership it might be possible to develop a distinctive architecture in the section which they occupy. For instance the architecture of Algiers in which the Negroes' love of color was emphasized would be a step in which Berkeley might set an example to the whole world. "We have in Berkeley a cultured Negro lady who is making a research into Negro lore. There are many college graduates among them here, and the only reason some of them do not stand out in a cultural way to a greater extent is that no one will give them anything but common labor to do.

SaysHeWasOnlyJoking Court Protects Mrs. Malone's Formula Ruling That It Was a Trade Secret. St. Louis, Mo., Feb. — (By the Associated Negro Press). An attempt by Conrad Paeben, the white receiver in charge of Poro College, to obtain the secret formula by which Mrs. Malone makes the famour hair preparation, was frustrated last Monday only by court action. Paeben, who is described as a bumptious lawyer of a rather mediocre type, and who has won the soubriquet of "crimson neck" here, was appointed by the court when Aaron E. Malone filed a petition seeking to obtain a fifty per cent interest in the million dollar institution. Uses High-Handed Methods. He is charged during the few days he has been in control with using rather high-handed methods in running affairs at Poro, badgering employees and proclaiming loudly that "I am the boss now." He orders Mrs. Malone's car out to bring, him to and from his office for the couple of hours which he spends with the accounting who are checking up the assets of the concern, in questioning employees about the methods which have made the business such a success and in ordering changes. Mrs. Malone has remained in her apartment since the receivership and taken no part in running her office. Asks For Formula. The receiver capped his interference in the routine affairs of the institution Tuesday, however, by asking for the formula. Employees advised him that no one knew the secret of compounding except Mrs. Malone and that no one entered the laboratory except with her. "There will be another fellow in there tomorrow, for I'm going in," he declared. Mrs. Malone appealed at once to the judge who called his appointee in and told him in open court that he had nothing to do with Mrs. Malone's formula which was a trade secret and to avoid overstepping his bounds. Paeben told the judge that he was "only joking" when he asked for the formula, but it is rumored that a large sum has been offered for it by a white syndicate. Adds Another Counsel. Add Another Counsel. Homer G. Phillips, well-known colored attorney and national political figure, has been retained by Mrs. Malone as counsel associated with Nagel and Kirby and Congressman Newton, her white lawyers. Mr. Newton has handled her legal business for years, even before she married, presenting her suit some years ago against "Dr." Majors, a former business associate, and preparing and dissolving the corporation, Poro College Company of which Mr. Malone was president and on which he rests most of his claim to ownership. S. E. Garner, another capable colored attorney, has been promised appointment as co-receiver by Judge Moes Hartman in case the receivership is made permanent. This choice ended a race between a number of colored lawyers who desired to share the plum and who made representations to the court that it would pacify the colored people who think there is a combination to pluck Mrs. Malone of her holdings. While many people viewed with apprehension the sudden appointment of a temporary receiver for a business known to be substantial and prosperous and felt certain that a permanent receiver would be named with consequent great cost and injury to the institution, the pendulum is now swinging the other way, and the public is conceding Mrs. Malone a more even chance to protect herself from her husband's claims, and the debacle which his suit threatens.

V OUR NATIONAL BANKS We wish to call the attention of Editor Vann of the Pittsburgh Courier to the fact that the race owns and operates two NATIONAL BANKS. We esteem the Courier very highly among our contemporaries for we have many things to admire the Courier for, one of which is its constant endeavors to give its readers a line on the race's business and to encourage new business and race co-operation, all of which the Echo tries in its way to do. In the issue of January 15th when it pointed out the great service that the Douglass National Bank of Chicago had performed for the ex-soldiers of the race in making loans to them on their adjusted compensation certificates, Mr. Vann flew wide of the mark when he said that the Douglass National was the only National Bank that the race had. Mr. Vann overlooked the fact that THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK of Boley, Oklahoma, was the FIRST and for a time the ONLY National Bank owned and operated by the race. If Mr. Vann had taken the trouble to investigate he would have been able to learn from Mr. Geo. S. Schuyler, a writer in the Courier, or from consulting an old copy of the Courier in which Mr. Schuyler wrote about Boley and its business and conditions when he made a visit to the $100\%$ Negro town last year. We waited patiently for Mr. Vann to make a correction but since two issues of the Courier have come since the error and no conspicuous correction made we deem it to the best interest of the readers of the Echo to speak now. The First National Bank of Boley, Oklahoma, is owned and controlled by Negroes. Mr. S. J. King, who is a large and prosperous farmer and cotton-gin owner, is the president, and is associated in the institution with other prosperous and influential men of Boley. We take for granted that the Echo readers are familiar with the name of the financial wizard who heads the Douglass National of Chicago and who also heads other large corporations and has directorships, etc. THE EXPLOITED PULLMAN PORTER The laws of economics are such that you cannot have what you cannot take. It is the law of might. When a person is satisfied no one opens that individual's pockets and forces something good into them. The Pullman porters are missing their share in the cutting of a fine melon, because they have not organized and taken their share. According to a Wall Street announcement three financial giants are to re-organize the Pullman Co. When the re-organization is consummated, stock holders will receive two and one-half shares of stock in a new holding company for each share of stock of $100 par value now held in the Pullman Co. This means that 1,350,000 outstanding shares, whose market value has fluctuated between 186 and $188½, will be turned into 3,375,000 shares. The "Yes-sah-boss" porter is content to let his wife assist in the support of the family, and permit his children to get their education the best they can. If he would organize he would get his fair share of that great melon. But Hon. Thos. Sullivan says you cannot organize a lot of crazy folks. REPRESENTATIVE AND REPRESENTED Persons appointed to positions in public service have a poor understanding of conditions if they think they secure their position upon merit, alone, even if they are in civil service. Appointments are made upon merit plus the number, standing and demands of friends or interested persons. And the value of the plus portion must not be ignored. In St. Paul there is a growing consciousness among appointers, that the appointed shall represent some organized group. And there is a growing consciousness among organized groups that they be represented in appointments. The membership of Engine Co. No. 9, and the Colored citizens of St. Paul function under those rules. It is common information that Engine Co. No. 9 is suffering from internal strifes. If that disease breaks out in any other company a transfer to another company is effected. That normalizes the health of the organization. The treatment of the ailment in No. 9 is different. The germ carrier is transferred out into the cold, cruel world, and that method has the sanction of the Colored people of St. Paul. Any other method would tend to disband an institution of which we are justly proud. We are not so much interested in jobs for certain people as we are in perpetuating the existence of the Engine Co. And we intend to show our temper toward any one within, or without, under whatever pretense, who would rob us of this possession which we enjoy. We have the word of Commissioner Clancy that he intends to keep the company intact. If the internal conditions of No. 9 warrant transfers out, we are with the commissioner. We want Engine Co. No. 9 composed of the present members if possible. If they cannot agree there are others who will welcome the pay check. The present members should lay aside their petty differences. There are said to be 3,424 spoken languages or dialects in the world, distributed as follows: America, 1,624; Asia, 937; Europe, 587; Africa, 276.

BEECHAM'S PILLS --- in Giant Whirlpool Just before the junction of the Madre de Dois and the Inambari river in Peru the latter divides into two arms, with an island some two miles long between. The right arm, which is usually the safer for navigation, is at times impassable, owing to excessive drought that causes the formation of perilous rapids. Travelers must in consequence take the wide left arm, down which the main volume of the river then flows. An enormous force of water is shown into the Madre de Dios; the Inambarl at its left-arm junction is 300 yards wide, perhaps 30 feet in depth, and flows at six knots an hour. This great mass of water meets the Madre de Dios, itself 400 yards wide here, at a right angle. The current of the Inambarl, being faster than the Madre de Dios, the former river cuts right across to the farther bank. There the Inambarl is thrown back and surges round in a huge circle 200 yards in diameter, to join up again with the water flowing to the bank. The whirlpool thus formed is probably one of the largest in the world. The circles of seething water curl inward and downward, screw-fashion, to their center, which appears as a great hole, at least six feet being below the level of the outer rim. Birch-Bark Canoe Not Popular With Indians Though the birch-bark canoe is the traditional vehicle of the Indians of northern Canada, few are to be seen today among those Indians frequenting trading posts or mining camps in Ontario or Quebec, writes Courtney Ryley Cooper in the Saturday Evening Post. There is an art in making a birch-bark canoe that only the oldtimers truly know. Then there is work to it and "an Indian and unnecessary work are about as well mated as a bulldog and a black jaguar." Far better, if he can trap enough rats or corral enough ermine skins, he owns a chestnut canoe with an outboard motor, with which he can scoot along the streams and lakes in serenity and swiftness, while the wind waves his hair and creates a grin across his face, comparable only to an Oklahoma Cherokee enjoying his oil royalties and a new motor. There's only one thing more exciting, and that is to stand close enough to the track to get the ballast in his eyes as he watches the transcontinental go by. Finished A traveling man put up one night in a cheap little hotel, where the thin partitions of a range of bedrooms, like the stalls of a stable, stopped halfway to the ceiling. And in the stily watches of the night he lay awake and listened to the finest demonstration of plain and fancy snoring that it had ever been his fate to hear. It was full of sudden and awful variations. Sometimes strangulation seemed imminent; then, in the middle of a fantasia, the agony stopped suddenly, and there was silence. From a nearby room he heard a voice exclaim wearily, "Thank goodness! He's dead!" Landmark on Old Trail One of the early landmarks was Pawnee rock on the Santa Fe trail, in what is now Barton county, Kan. This giant rock standing on the level plain was a noted spot, for the trail ran near its base. It provided a place of rest and safety for many a traveler. In later years this landmark was disappearing. The Woman's Kansas Day club resolved to save the historic spot and secured a deed for the rock and five acres surrounding it. On Kansas day, 1909, the women presented this deed to the state. This was done with the condition that the state spend $3,000 for improvements. Lake Affected by Canal Experts have decided that the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans mingle with the fresh water in Miraflores lake in the Panama canal. The progressive rise of a certain amount of sea water to this lake and in a lesser amount to Gatun lake began with the first ship to pass through the canal and will probably continue indefinitely with the operation of the locks of the canal under traffic. A rise also takes place when the ships are locked downward. Time-Sense Center Why is it that most of us beat time whenever a lively time is played? The reason, says the Swiss scientist Hoepil, is that the nerve centers which react to the sensations of hearing music are located in the feet at a point in each foot under the bend between the ankle and the toe bones. Moreover, the nerve spots which react to musical rhythm, he adds, are in the feet, near the big toes. In the feet also are the nerves controlling the ability to dance rhythmically. Traffic-Blocking Islands Floating islands are formed by the accumulations of soil and grasses that push their way over the normal shore line of streams and oceans. These floating masses are lifted at high tide and will break away if the pull is strong enough. In less than 40 years one of the traveling islands, or "rattfs," as they are known, grew in size until it was 10 miles long, 600 feet wide and 8 feet thick, blocking the lower area of the Mississippi. Four years of labor were required to remove it. Old Roman Pageants The wonderful, long-necked, spotted creature, the giraffe, has an interesting history. Zoologists in declining its actual species place it between the deer and the hollow-horned ruminants. The name "giraffe" seems to be derived from the Arabian "zerapha" which by some is supposed to have been a corruption of "zoraphe" the Egyptian for "long neck." In the days of imperial Rome giraffes from the Libyan desert were exhibited in the triumphs of various emperors, and were probably shown to the Romans during the dictatorship of Julius Caesar. From the period of the Roman empire till the close of the Fifteenth century these magnificent animals were unknown in Europe. In the last years of that century Lorenzo de Medicl became possessed of a specimen, apparently perfectly tame, which was shown in Florence, and as it was led through the streets often halted, and raising its lofty head to some high balcony, received some dalny—fruit or confection—from the dwellers of the house before which it had stayed its progress. From that date till the reign of George IV no giraffe was seen in Europe until the year 1827, when Mahomed All, viceroy of Egypt, sent one as a present to the king of England. Grim Death Lurks in Holy Waters of India The holiest waters in India are man- tled with a green and brilliant scum. Those who would bathe must break it, as hardy swimmers in our colder countries break the ice, before they can reach the spiritually cleansing liquid. Coming out of the water, bathers leave behind them jagged rifts of blackness in the green; riffs that gradually close, if no more pilgrims come down to bathe, till the green skin of the lake is altogether whole again. There were but few bathers when we were at Pushkar. On days of little concourse the bathers do not venture far out into the lake. Death.lurks invisible under the scum, swims noiselessly inshore, snaps, drags down. We saw him basking on a little shrine-crowned island a hundred yards from land, monstrous and scaly, grinning even in his sleep—a crocodile. Pushkar is so holy that no life may be taken within its waters or on its banks, not even the manatees. A dozen pilgrims disappear each year between those enormous jaws. It is considered lucky to be eaten by a crocodile at Pushkar.—From "Jesting Pilate" by Adux Hauxley. Something to Remember One thing they have learned in cold Alaska is to make no attempt to clean a silk or woolen garment in gasoline in the winter time. Writing in Scribner's Magazine, Mary Lee Davis, the wife of an engineer, says that two women of her acquaintance were burned to death in so doing. "Just the friction," she says, "of lifting the material from the gasoline bath produces such sparks in the electrified air that an explosion almost invariably occurs." Although there isn't quite so much electricity in the air in this section of the country, there are few indoor sports more dangerous than washing articles in gasoline. If you must wash things in gasoline, do it outdoors. Egyptian Spite The childish trait of "taking it out" on an inanimate object when one has a fit of temper seems to have been a serious business in ancient Egypt. An archeological expedition of the Berlin museum has just returned from Egypt with 290 pieces of pottery, fragments of some 80 clay vessels, all written over with the names of foreign princes and peoples with whom the Egyptians of about 2000 B. C. were at war, together with a number of Egyptian names as well, presumably of rebellious communities. These names, it is believed, were inscribed on the vessels, which were then shattered with suitable ceremonials, in the belief that the foes would thereby be injured. "Sweat of Your Brow" This quotation does not appear in the Bible. The nearest thing to it is the following found in the third chapter of Genesis, nineteenth verse: "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it was thou taken." Yet the great majority of people seem to think that "Ye shall earn thy bread by the sweat of the brow" is a Biblical saying. How the error got started nobody knows. It may have been suggested by Milton's phrase, "Let us go forth and resolutely dare with sweat of brow to toll our little day." At any rate, it has been employed by English writers for 250 years—Exchange. "Maru's" Proper Meaning The Japanese embassy says that maru means, first, a sphere or circle, and, secondly, perfection, entitlement, completeness. Expressive of perfection, it was formerly used as a suffix to the names of persons, sword masterpieces, etc, and to ships; but at present the last usage has become the common one. Thus the word maru when used in conjunction with a proper name, may be said to designate a ship, it being the most popular suffix used in that connection. The great man has usually looked the part. Lowell said of Emerson that there "was a majesty about him beyond all the men I have ever known." Washington impressed those about him as being no ordinary man, and Dr. James Thatcher said "the strength and proportion of his joints and muscles appeared to be commensurate with the pre-eminent powers of his mind." Goethe was likened in youth to an Apollo, and the physician Hufeland declared that never had he "met with a man in whom bodily and mental organization were so perfect." Tennyson was "one of the finest looking men in the world." Wordsworth was, according to the artist Hayden, "of very fine heroic proportions." Southey looked an ideal poet. Byron was as beautiful as his verse and was likened to "the god of the Vatican, the Apollo Belvidere." Leonardo da Vinci had a figure of beautiful proportions and a noble and engaging presence. Walter Scott was eminently handsome, "much above the usual standard" and "cast in the mold of young Hercules," with a "fresh and brilliant complexion and a countenance of great dignity."—Scientific Monthly. Historians Skip Many Matters of Interest An American history written in the old-fashioned way would never mention the rise of the motion picture diversion. The kind of histories to which we have been accustomed don't appear to be in the least interested in the ordinary life of the people, which is as much history as taking a fort or carrying an election, a writer in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat asserts. Between wars there is almost a blank interregnum; and—from the history—you would never know that a book had been written, a picture painted or a machine invented. We once knew a school history of the United States that did not mention the coming of the railroad; but every Indian chieftain from Massasoit to Sitting Bull was personalized. These strange silences of formal history leave us to the historical novels for our general information of the times—the clothing our ancestors wore, their pastimes, their religious faiths, their literature, their customs and their modes of thought. Heaven as a Republic Dr. James Madison, second cousin of the President of the United States of that name, was elected president of William and Mary College when he was only twenty-eight years old. It was necessary, before he could assume office, to suspend a statute requiring that the head of the institution be not less than thirty years old. The young college president, who was ordained in the Episcopal ministry in 1775, was an ardent believer in the republican form of government. It is said that in his sermons he never would speak of heaven as a kingdom. He would always refer to it as the "great republic where there is no distinction of rank, and where all men are free and equal."-Pathfinder Magazine. Embarrassed He was enjoying the picture at a downtown theater recently when he was disturbed from his leisure by a coin rolling from his pocket. The coin hit the floor with a clink and continued its course to the orchestra pit. The rather embarrassed man was not sure of the denomination of the lost coin and proceeded to go after it. Being unable to find it, he summoned two ushers, who aided him with flashlights. At last, after quite a search, the coin was found, and when it was picked up, there in the finder's hand lay a shining penny. Color Highly Important Man has apparently become careless about one of the most important items in his environment—color. As soon as he realizes fully the inhibitive and repressive influence of drab, uninteresting color surroundings, the vistas about will be immediately transformed. Man has always conquered or changed conditions unfavorable to his best development. There is no reason to believe that he will not rise to the present situation and reinstate into his daily life the color which is so important to his well being—Exchange. Deadly "Milk Sickness" Milk sickness, the ailment of which Abraham Lincoln's mother died, is a peculiar malignant disease occurring in part of the western United States. It affects certain kinds of farm stock, especially cows, and persons using the meat and dairy products of infected cattle. In man it causes uncontrollable vomiting and other serious symptoms. Its origin in cattle has been variously ascribed to the presence of certain plants in their food and to polluted water. Best Known in America Messrs. Smith, Johnson and Brown are the three best known individuals in the United States, a nation-wide search of city and telephone directories reveals. There are at least 1,300,000 Smiths in America, 1,000,000 Johnson and 730,000 Brown. Then come the Williamses and the Joneses, with 685,000 and 658,000 respectively. The Millers, according to this unofficial census, number 626,000 and the Davies 538,000. Possessed by Youth Dear me, with all their superior knowledge, how ignorant the younger generation, one might say the youngest generation, is about some things. A new story came into the house and mother essayed to read it aloud. It was about "gypes." Hardly had she begun when a chorus of small voices asked, "What's a 'gypse'?" And it was hard explaining about a covered wagon, for the next question was, "What's a 'wagon'?" And some didn't even understand what a "pair of horses" was. Never did mother have it brought home to her so keenly that this was an automobile age. And there is nothing that makes a high-school pupil feel that her mother is more ancient than to have that same mother say, "There were no automobiles in my high-school days; we always went buggy riding." Instantly the high-school mind thinks of her mother, as dated some time before the Civil war, and one high school child had the nerve to question her mother as to her experiences during the Revolutionary war. Mother came back at daughter a bit, though. She said casually, "There was no such thing as a radio in your life until you reached high-school age, was there?" Daughter tried to prove that radio only happened the other day, as it were, but mother emphasized her point that inventions are coming along faster than people are.—Springfield Union. Credit for "Want Ad" Goes to Englishman In 1672 John Houghton, a fellow of the Royal society, established a weekly paper for the improvement of husbandry and trade, and undertook to educate the merchants of England in the art of advertising, says World's Work. First he established a bureau for supplying servants to masters and masters to servants, carrying on operations through advertising. From this he went into the advertising of schools, houses and lodgings to let and so forth, laying down the idea of what has grown into our present "want ads." He instructed the public class by class, inducing lawyers, physicians and farmers to use his columns and built up a large miscellaneous patronage for his paper. The clergy in particular found his columns an excellent medium for securing or disposing of second-hand sermons, for there were no Monday morning papers in those days, with ever-present reporters, and a sermon could be preached around in various parishes until it was worn out. Jewels in Watches Watches do not have even numbers of jewels. If a watch has 23 jewels, then the going band or center wheel and third wheel, the fourth wheel the escape wheel, the lever and the balance have a whole jewel at each arbor, which make 14. The balance, the lever and the escape wheel have end stones as well, which make 6 more. Then there are 3 jewels in the escapement, which make 23. If the movement has 21 jewels, then the hole jewels of the going barrel have been omitted. If 19, the end stones of the escapement wheel have been omitted also. If the watch has only 7 jewels, they usually consist of the 3 escapement jewels and 2 end stones for the balance arbor. Legend of Faust Faustus (D. Johann Faust) was a person born at Kundling, Wurtemberg, or at Roda, near Welmar. He is said to have died in 1538. He was a magician, soothsayer and astrologer, and boasted of having performed the miracles of Christ. It was believed that the magician was carried off by the devil, who had lived with him in the form of a black dog. Legends say that this event occurred on the night between the twenty-third and twenty-fourth of October, 1538. Goethe's tragedy (published in 1808) is based on the Faust legends. Must Have Pulled Hard The occupation of dentistry is not usually rated as dangerous. Unless a patient snaps at a dentist while the latter is busy with one of the former's molars, and seldom does a patient act in such a way, there is small hazard to the profession. Nevertheless at times accidents do occur. A man tortured by a toothache called up a dentist and asked him for help. The office attendant replied that Doctor Soanso regretted to state he would be unable to take patients for some days to come as he had sprained his wrist pulling a tooth. Beauty in Dislocation A peculiarity of the Stamases dancing girls is the position of their fingers, which are held at all times turned upward as much as possible. Not turned up to heaven, but turned the way opposite to the normal bend of the knuckles. This is considered very beautiful, and dancing girls spend long hours pressing their fingers against their knees to the point almost of dislocation in order to induce the desired back curve.—Adventure Magazine. Usage Makes Difference Some men fall where others are successful. The former regard as obstacles what the latter see as opportunities. This suggests that the real difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is in the way one may use them.-Grit. ees es | | | tren - SanEREEEEREEEEEEeE _ CONT ae a tad ssasiyee Uhm a gs 8 oa a rahe Baa ee eae, airy nega rae aan Gee ee GR ee a las oar ok cuca fh a fa . ere Ty !

Argument Ended When Hungry Diner Acted “1 beg your pardon,” sald a crusty old bean to the generous fragment of pork with which it was making a por- tlon of pork of beans, “but your con- tiguity is insufferable.” “Go wan,” retorted the pork. “Go wan back to Bosting!” “Coarse westerner!” sald the bean. “Eastern sissy!" answered the pork. “At least,” sald the bean with great dignity, “we are not unclvilized.

Woman's Confidence in Her Protege Justified “At that tlmg (1798), astonishing as ft may seem, the cotton crop of the en- tire country could have been raised on a field comprising not more than 200 acres. ‘The price of cotton was exceedingly high because of the cost of preparing it for the market. ‘The ehlef expense was in cleansing It of dirt, leaves and the seeds which clung to the fibers. It appeared unlikely that cotton could ever be raised in large quantities in this country be- cause of the cost of preparing It for the use of the spinner. “One evening Mrs. Greene was ep: tertaining a distinguished gathering of southern gentry, and the conversa tion turned to this particular problem. “‘Surely Mr. Whitney can supply your needs,’ sald Mrs. Greene, with confidence in her protege. Her guests regarded the remark as a pleasantry, but young Whitney took it in all serl- ousness, Never having seen a cotton plant, the next day he went into the country and obtained samples of the bolls, "Ten days later he had a model of a cotton-cleaning machine."—From “A Popular History of American In- vention,” by Waldemar Kaempftert, Perfect Behavior ‘The boys and girls of a congested neighborhood were invited by their teacher to write their own personal rules of life.

Defining “Christian” “The London policeman Is the finest example of a Christian T have met; he will answer any foolish question that any fool asks Mita,” said Doctor Nor wood, the bishop. As a definision of a Christian that seems to leave some thing lacking. The precise duty of the Christian to the fool has never been satisfactorily stated. ‘The au thor of the Book of Proverbs evade¢ the question by writing, in two con secutive verses, “Answer a fool accord Ing to his folly” and “Answer not & fool according to his folly,” but then the author of Proverbs was not, in the strict sense of the word, a Christian St. Paul congratulated the Corinthians ‘on suffering fools gladly.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. | j ' | | | Indian Freak Barnum Mast Have Overlooked About the year 1860 Mohammed Baus, a celebrated dwart, and the cen- ter of much interest, and for many years later the pet of the districts around Calcutta, because of what were described as his amiable conduct and pleasing manner. Mohammed was born at Benares in 1880. At birth he gave no indication that he would be dwarf. His par- ents and his brothers and sisters were all rather above the medium height, and he himself was not considered a small child. But soon it was discov- ered that, although his mental quall- ties were rather above the average he did not increase in size as other children did and never in his life stood more than 87 inches in his socks. One of his English friends took him to England, where he was the subject of even greater interest than in India. He had “very easy, unembarrassed manners, was able to discourse in English and was remarkable for his gentlemanly deportment.” Art Copied From Nature Man's early inclination toward art frequently found expression through examination of various forms of nuts, and his drinking vessels were fash- foned in imitation of the halved coco- nut or some other hard shell protect- ing the kernel. In India ancient dip- pers were made of nutshells, and specimens of antiquity are now on ex- hibition at the Indian museum, South Kensiggton, London. King Henry VI possessed a silver vessel made like @ nut in 1428, Chinese carvers still work artistic devices on nutshells. In Tibet Buddhist priests often possess rosaries comprising more than 100 beads, all made from carved nuts.

TWIN CITY LINES On Drawing a Crowd 4 A committee of three from a large organization was { puzzled as to what would be the most economical way of drawing a crowd to one of their coming events... One sug- gested passing out hand bills, the second said, “Mail out cireulars” while the third simply said, “Newspaper.” To say the least the last suggestion is the most log- ical. When you realize you get the three suggestions combined which is “Triple Service” for the cost of one. When claims of economy in advertising are set forth re- member this, in the first place, the one way among many ways to get advertising at a low cost is to use the news- paper that creates and offers “Triple Service.” Your ideas can be portrayed and conveyed to more ) than 7,000 readers through THE ST.PAUL ECHO 614 Court Block— Cedar 1879 THE RACE’S YOUNGEST GREAT NEWSPAPER Meooris Put Up Brave : Battle for Country ‘The history of the Maoris of New Zealand if a most remarkable one. Primitive and even cannibalistic up to sixty years ago, they have in a brief space of years achieved equality with the white man. It 1s hundreds of years since six large canoes, each holding about 200 persons, arrived there from the Tahitt archipelago. Maori tradition has pre- served the names of these boats, and the New Zealand fleet now employs them. By the time of the British conquest the 1,000 people who had landed, utterly exhausted by their tre- mendous journey, had become 100,000 —a small population for such a large territory. No tribe ever exhibited such hero- fam In the face of European conquest as did the Maoris. In seizing New Zealand, Great Britain lost 15,000 sol- diers, though the forces of the Maoris, armed only with old-fashioned wooden weapons, did not exceed 2,000. When peace finally came, the conquerors found they had a deep respect for the conquered. —Arnaldo Cipolla in La Stampa, Turin (Living Age). PAGE THREE Y. W. C. A.

Mrs. Zula Tandy, Chairman of the Committee of Management, presided over the meeting and brought a message from the National Convention. Miss Leona MacGeorge, General Secretary, spoke on “Mem- bership.” The Girl Reserves appear- ed on the program in a ceremonial and in spirituals. Mr. B, H. Miller, as head waiter with a group of effi- clent young men, gave splendid serv- fee. The following members were elected to the Committee of Manage- ment for a term of three years: Mesdames Floretta Artis, Odelle Smith, Gladys James and Doris Roper. es Sasa pa Sa SGN SY, a eg es ay ia ae aan Se isa a ns eae he er eb ST ae i RY PAGE FOUR ————————— COMING ‘ATTRACTIONS ‘The Minnesota Federation of Col- cred Womens’ clubs will hold their ‘annual MidWinter Breakfast at Phyl- lis Wheatley House, Minneapolis, Feb. 10.

PHYLLIS WHEATLEY NOTES The Vesper Services presented by the Phyllis Wheatley Auxiliary, un- der the direction of Mrs. Blanche Mason, were most enjoyable. The Glee Club rendered “O Mother Dear,” “In My Heart,” “The Lord Is My Shepherd,” “Seek Ye the Lord,” “Prayer Perfeet,” and “Now the Day Is Over,” Mr, Ira Allen singing the solo part in “Seek Ye the Lord.” Mrs. Mae Glenn beautifully sang “Dear Lord.” ‘The ladies in their uniforms of white with black tles made a most pleasing picture. The group deserves much praise for the splendid work it is doing. Wateh the paper for its next big musical event. Phyllis Wheatley House had its Annual Dinner Meeting Monday night, January 31, in the gym, which was beautifully decorated with -pot plants. The house was packed to its capacity. Over three hundred people were present. Tables were set from the gym almost to the front door. It was the best meeting ever held in the house. A delicious dinner was prepared by Mr. Duncan, chef on the Soo Line, and Mr. Chavis of the Great Northern, assisted by members of the Auxiliary, and was served by young men from the “University,” under the leadership of Mr. David Francis, After the chairman of the board, Mrs. Luther Oakes, commended the group for the fine way in which they had supported the House, the Annual Report was read by Miss Brown, Head Resident. Before reading her report, Miss Brown spoke of the re- cent gift from the late Mrs. Mary 7. Welleome of $10,000 toward a new gym, and asked all to stand in silent prayer in memory of the giver. She Teported that attendance for 1926 was 46,465, an increase of almost 6,000 over 1925. Seventy-one applications were re- celved for work. Twenty-two refer- red to the Urban League and forty- nine sent to jobs. The majority of these applications were received in the office after 5 p.m, and before 8:30 a. m, The house owes much to the won- derful Volunteer services trom the high schools, university and many other interested friends. Too much prgise cannot be given the Auxiliary,’ which has been the real backbone of the House. The members have answered the call at all times, assisting in making the House program most effective. During 1926 a full time worker in the person of Miss Ethel Ray was added to the staff and has proven most capable. A full time boys’ worker added to the staff for the 1927 program for that year will be far better. The greatest need of Phyllis Wheatley House today is a gym. It 1s almost impossible for groups to meet in the adjoining room when & basketball game or practice is be- ing conducted. When right in the midst of the meeting two or three players fall against the doors and sometimes come into your meeting uninvited because the doors opened suddenly. Since our substantial gift of $10,000 trom Mrs. Mary T. Well- come and $500 from our Musteal last January, we are sure some other in- terested friends will come to our rescue that we may have our gym, We are most anxious that our sym building include suMeient space to care for the Nursery and School Home Economies, as these are abso- lutely necessary for our children, Who are forced to stay home while Parents work, as our neighboring nurseries are filled, and to prepare the young and old to do the ordinary daily duties well. We have included the above in our two-year program and we are praying and working 80 when Father Time ushers in 1929 our Nursery and School of Home Economies will be a reality. ‘The Masque by fifty men, women and children was much enjoyed. This masque vividly depleted the House program.

Call the St. Paul Echo, Cedar 1879, 614 Court Block, New Zealander Proud . of His Native Land As soon as you arrive in Auckland, New Zealand, you feel the peculiar character of this most original of dominions: a blissful land where the 1,500,000 British settlers—for the oth- er nationalities form only small and transient groups—are producing and exporting precious raw materials and engaging in sports of every concelv- able kind, which they pursue with in- credible verve and enthusiasm. ‘They are also fully convinced of their superiority to the rest of man- kind and of the unique privilege they enjoy in living in these islands. They have thelr reasons down pat. We must not smile at the question- naire to be filled before disembarking in New Zealand. In it you must Promise before the Almighty to be 00d, to observe strictly the wise laws of the land, and, finally, to remember that the experience of spending even a brief period of your existence in these islands is something to be proud of for the rest of your life, On’ making inquiries I learned that there is a little unemployment—not, to be sure, because there is no work, but because the English inhabitants prefer to leave hard labor to people of other nationalities, ‘The several hun- dred Italians here all find good em- ployment in building rallroads—ar- naldo Cipolla in La Stampa, Turin (Living Age). Men Sought Means of Flying Centuries Ago Flying in motor-driven airplanes had Its birth December 17, 1903, on the sand hills near Kitty Hawk, N. C., when Wilbur and Orville Wright achieved the first authenticated flight in a heavierethan-air machine, but fly- ing was in the minds of men centuries before that. ‘The story of man's longing to fly comes down tn hundreds of legends, mixed with fact, about individuals who flew and those who tried it and died. Probably the original flying legend is the Greek story about Daedalus, who made a pair of wings with which he flew, and his son, Icarus, who took them out one day and came to grief when he got so near the sun that the wax wings melted. Glovannt Baptist! Dantl, tate in 1400, 1s sald to have flown across the Piazza of Perugia, Italy, in what seems to have been an authentic glider. It was about this time that Leonardo da Vinel began to study the possibilities of filght from the scientific angle and made a helicopter of paper, wire and springs that really lifted itself, Fol- lowing this there were numerous ex- periments with gliders, some of them successful, but not until 1908 did the motor-driven plane conquer the alr— Milwaukee Journal, Big Feet Caused Downfall Difficulty in obtaining a pair of boots large enough for his feet led to the downfall of Rocky Whelan, once notorious bushranger of ‘Tasmania. Rocky worked alone and had a nasty habit of shooting wayfarers in the back. He acquired his wardrobe by the simple process of taking whatever articles of clothing he needed from his victims. But he had very large feet and was unable to get a fit in ‘his usual manner, So he went into a bootmaker’s shop to buy a pair. A constable who had seen him in an- other part of the country spotted him ‘as he entered the shop and followed, effecting a capture just as the outlaw was trying on a pair of boots, Whelan was executed a few days later on the gallows.—Sydney Bulletin, Immortal “Serenade” Schubert wrote the “Serenade” to sult the words of a poem by Ludwig Rellstab. A number of Rellstab’s poems were originally sent by thelr author to Beethoven, who declined to do anything with them because of the state of his health, but who recom- mended that they be turned over to Schubert, This was done after Bee- thoven’s death, In 1828 Schubert wrote a number of fine songs, which were brought out after his death un- der the title of “Swan Songs." “Sere- nade” is No. 4 of the Swan Songs, which include six others written to Rellstab's words, Schubert was born January 81, 1797, and died November 19, 1828, Lucky A woman with a particularly dls. agreeable expression bad been hold: Ing forth to the man sitting next to her at the dinner party. “Ah,” she sald at iast, “my busband has always been lucky. As a child he was thrown by a horse, but wasn't In- Jured; as @ youth the tee broke be neath’ him, but he wasn't drowned; and as a young man he was caught In an avalanche, but escaped uninjured,” “Yes,” put In the man, quletly, “but strangest of all he has now been mar- rled to you for 20 years and fs still alive.” — Pittsburgh Chronicle-Tele- graph. Best Way to Leave An ambitious young man was being Instructed at his own request by a pro- fessor of elocution in the art of pub- le speaking. ‘The professor knew that his vagity far exceeded his ability, so he gave him one last plece of advice. “When you have finished your lec ture, bow gracefully and ieave the platform on tip-toe.” “Why on tip-toe?” queried the would-be orator. “So a8 not to wake the audience," was the quiet reply. Napoleon Had Planned Unification of Europe But though he dismisses Fouche from his ministerial post and has the watcher watched, Napoleon cannot get on without him and talks to him about the most private matters. “Since my marriage people fancy that the on is asleep, ‘They will soon learn whether I am asleep. I need 800,000 men and have them; I shall tow all Europe in my wake. Europe 4s nothing more than an old woman and with my 800,000 men I can make her do whatever I please. . . . Did not you yourself say to me, ‘You let your genius have its way, because it does not know the word impossible’? How can I help it if a great power drives me on to become dictator of the world? You and the others, who eritfelze me today and would like me to become a good-natured ruler—have not you all been accessories? I have not yet fulfilled my mission and I mean to end what I have begun. We need a European legal code, a Euro- pean court of appeal, a untied coin- age, a common system of weights and measures. ‘The same law must run throughout Europe. I shall fuse all the nations into one."—From “Napo- eon, the Man of Destiny,” by Emil Ludwig. Originality Shown in Ordering of Funerals Two Englishmen and one English lady, who certainly did not know each other, decided practically at the same time to have fantastic funerals, Pierre Van Paasen writes, in the Atlanta Con- stitution. Harry Armour, one of them, twenty-four years old, who committed sulclde, left a note in which he or- dered that he was to be buried in hunting costume, booted and spurred, with rifle in bis arms and a plentiful supply of cartridges in his coffin. Then there was Colonel Samson of Hastings, who demanded that his corpse be dumped in the middle of the channel, We learn from the Dover Gazette that his funeral had at least the compensa- tion of a “Jolly trip on a bright, sunny day.” In London, a young lady, Miss Edith Koll, aged twenty, asked that she be laid out in her best evening gown, with dancing slippers and a small gramophone in the casket, She personally selected a number of jazz records, which were buried with her. All three expressed themselves bellev- ers in the resurrection of the body. ‘The lady fs the most original of all. When that last morn comes, and Gabriel blows his trumpet, she wants to or ganize a two-piece orchestra, no doubt. Dog’s Smart Trick An old hunter says that on one occasion a small dog belonging to him chased and caught up with a very large raccoon. The dog flew at his enemy and tried to shake him, but the raccoon, being quick, caught the dog by the side of the head. His teeth were sharp and his tiold firm, so that the dog found it im- possible to break loose. Suddenly, as it a bright Idea had occurred to him, the dog began to drag the raccoon tn- to a neighboring creek. Once in the water the dog held the raceoon tnder the surface, adroitly keeping his own nose out, until the raccoon released his grip. Then the dog easily mastered the haif-drowned animal. Not in This World ‘Men and women do not get along well. The quarrel is mainly about money. A woman never seems to care much because her husband tsn’t as much of a lover as when they were first engaged. She doesn’t expect it; and realizes she has cooled off, too. We have learned that these things are natural, but men are still shocked at the extravagance of women, and women are still shocked at the stingl- ness of men. Is there any way of coming to a better understanding on this subject of money?—E. W. Howe's Monthly. Comedienne Here's another one on Allentown, A visitor recently dropped in a restau- rant on the “main drag” and after perusing the menu, urdered the native dish of sauerkraut and spare ribs. ‘There must have been an unusually heavy run on that savory platter, for the Pennsylvania Dutch waitress shook her head and sald: “All” Wishing to be funny, the man re. turned: “All what?” She: “All over.” He: “All over what?” She finally: “All over with."—Philadelphia Record. First Fossil What 1s probably the first fossil to have been collected by man Is in the Possession of Barnum Brown, associ- ate curator of fossil reptiles in the American Museum of Natural History. ‘The priceless relic is an elephant's tooth dating back around 5,000,000 years and was picked up by Mr. Brown in the ruins of the Asklepleion, the medical school of ancient Greece, where Hippocrates, the father of me ‘icine, carried on bis studies. Roman Numerals ‘The Komans had no symbols to fn- dicate mathematical processes and operations. Orginally they expressed every process and operation in words of full length, ‘Their mathematical calculations were never simplified fur- ther than to abbreviate centum, 100, {nto C; mille, 1,000, into M, and s0 on. The Romans were never reputed specially good mathematicians and they contributed little to the sclence.

So they bought the largest dog that was for sale in the kennels of a nearby dealer. Shortly afterwards the house was entered by burglars, who made.a good haul while the dog slept.

Prized Testimonial by No Means Flattering Have you ever been curious about a letter that some friend has written about you to introduce you to another? ‘Then imagine how trying it would be to have the letter in a language you could not read! In the early days of the Hudson's Bay company they used to give “certificates” of good character to those Indians who Seemed to deserve it. ‘These the In- dians called “teapots,” since that was as near as they could get to the pro- nunclation, They valued them great- ly, carried them around with them, and always presented them when they wished to do some trading with a white man. One old Indian kept one for years, presenting It whenever oc- casion offered, and never guessed that what it said was: “This old fel- low is a regular scamp.
