The St. Paul Echo Minn Historical Society Minn Historical Bldg St Paul Minn SOUTH DAKOTA PASTOR IN CITY Rev. Withers of Sioux Falls Reports Progress Along All Lines. Rev. M. W. Withers, pastor of St. John's Baptist church, Sioux Falls, S. D., was in the Twin Cities on business this week and paid our office a visit. He reports that things are moving forward in Sioux Falls. The Daily Argus-Leader, white daily of Sioux Falls, carried an interesting article, which, in part, is as follows: Six hundred persons filled the auditorium of the First Baptist church of Madison Sunday night to hear a program of Negro "spirituals" sung by the choir and brotherhood chorus of St. John's Baptist church of Sioux Falls. The Rev. M. W. Withers, pastor, gave a short talk on the "Forward Look." He said the calls for a courageous advance of the race along every line have never been more clamorous than they are today. "We have fallen upon a time when it is dangerous to look backward," he said. "Our forward advance today, like marriage, is for better or worse, for richer or poorer, and it is true that he who hesitates is lost." He then quoted Dr. W. W. Alexander, the inter-racial worker of Atlanta, saying, "South must reform." He stated that the white man knows nothing of the cultural side and the ambitions of the race. The upper and cultured class of both races, he asserted, are far apart, and the contact between the races is with the lower and more vicious element of both races and therein lies the root of all the present racial discord, he stated. He asserted that the white press held in its hand the pressure to abet in the movement which brought about this discord, whenever they allowed their papers to delight in publishing the crimes of the race in emblazoned headlines, but when invited to publish the deeds of accomplishment and achievement they are silent. Mr. Withers also spoke about the lynchings in the South and repeated the words of Doctor Alesander when he said that the South did not lynch the members of "our group" for the "usual crime," but that the southerners lynch our men for talking back to them and any other reason that suited their fancy. "The South must reform its ways," he said. "The Negro did not make the laws and he knows that he can't get anything like justice in court," the speaker said. BENJAMIN BAKER DIES Benjamin D.

BELLE TYLER ON CONCERT TOUR BELLE TYLER ON CONCERT TOUR Seattle Enterprise Praises Singer's Rendition of Spanish Numbers. "The Will Do club of Mt. Zion church, Seattle, Wash., presented Belle Salter Tyler in a program of unusual musical charm and merit, on Friday evening of last week. Mrs. Tyler's rich contralto voice of rare quality and range, coupled with a charming personality and much histrionic ability, made the concert one that long will linger with us." "The 'Aria,' sung in Italian, followed by groups in English, French and Spanish, revealed Mrs. Tyler's real artistry. Perhaps the Spanish group exposing typical Spanish warmth and fervor was her real triumph." "The Will Do Club, of which Mrs. William Chandler is president, is to be congratulated for presenting in Seattle a program of such unusual musical merit." The above review was published in the Seattle Enterprise. Belle Salter-Tyler is a native daughter of St. Paul, born, raised and educated in our city; the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mark Salter, pioneer citizens and earnest church workers. Mrs. Tyler was presented in recital at Pilgrim Baptist church, St. Paul, Nov. 19, 1926, under the auspices of the Earnest Workers' club, and created a lasting impression of talent that soared far above the ordinary. Mrs. Tyler possesses a pure contralto voice of unusual richness. Mrs. Tyler is continuing her tour of western cities and is meeting with much deserved success.

Brown, pioneer physician of Minneapolis and one of its most esteemed citizens, passed away Monday morning at 1:50 after an illness of several months. Though he had been confined to his home, he seemed to be improving and his death was a distinct shock to his family.

He was born in Stanton, Va., Dec. 8, 1863, and was 63 years of age at the time of his death. Shortly after his graduation from Bennett Medical College of Loyola University he went to Oskaloosa, Iowa, where he practiced three years. He was a member of the Hennepin County Medical Association, American Medical Association and the National Medical Association. Thoroughly progressive and eager to keep abreast with science, he had taken post graduate courses at the University of Minnesota. He was prominently identified in church, civic and fraternal affairs. For the past twenty years he was treasurer of St. Thomas Episcopal church, a past president of the local N. A. A. C. P. and a 33rd degree mason, a member of Anchor Hilyard Lodge. Quiet and unassuming in his manner, he was a liberal contributor toward the aid of many a needy person and always heartily endorsed any worthwhile project. He leaves to mourn his passing a devoted widow, Mrs. Anna Brown; two sons, Dr. Carol Brown of Minneapolis, and Dr. W. Donald Brown, Staff Physician, Hubbard Memorial Hospital, Nashville, Tenn., and two daughters by a former marriage, Mrs. Minnie Wiggins and Mrs. Ardella Spruel of Chicago.

MALONE JUMPS FROM SECOND STORY WINDOW CREATING EXCITEMENT Suffering from a Hallucination that Some One Was Trying to Kidnap Him, Malone Becomes Suddenly Violent and Runs Screaming Into the Darkness. St. Louis, Mo., April.—(By The Associated Negro Press). Aaron E. Malone, husband of Mrs. Anna M. Malone, founder and owner of Poro College, created a furore of excitement in the semi-exclusive Cook Avenue district about ten o'clock last Saturday night when he leaped through the second story window of 4212 "W" Cook Avenue, and ran screaming into the darkness. His friends, who, it is said, for sometime have regarded his mental condition as away below par and bordering perhaps on definite insanity, have been watching him closely, but he became suddenly violent Saturday evening, suffering from a hallucination that some one was trying to' kidnap him. Selecting a moment when no one was watching him, he jumped for the window which was closed, smashed through the glass, and crashed to the street below, carrying the entire sash with him. He was not seriously injured, the curtain on the window shielding him from cuts from the broken glass. PRETTY MODELS IN STYLE REVIEW PRETTY MODELS IN STYLE REVIEW Shown. In a recent interview with Maame Ruth Walker, who is in the midst of preparations for her third semi-annual style revue on Monday evening, April 11, at the South Side Auditorium, we learned that all is in readiness for the most elaborate showing of spring apparel ever witnessed in the Twin Cities. Direct from the fashion marts of the East are gathered the most exclusive models in street and sport wear, afternoon and evening dress and last, but not least, the daintiest of lingerie to be worn with summer frocks. And, of course, you know that every one will be on the qui vive when those fascinating bathing beauties promade in the latest dazzling types of correct bathing attire, ready for a plunge at Lake St. Croix at Minesure. Moderately Priced. We wondered, too, if the price of the garments displayed would be within the reach of our modest purse. Our fears were immediately allayed when Madame informed us that the garments are to be furnished by Askin Marine Company, whose method of extending dignified credit is within the reach of all. One can be fashionably groomed and yet not be burdened with excessive prices if they desire to be clothed by Askin-Marine. Following the style revue, dancing will be enjoyed until the sma' hours with the latest syncopated hits by Clarence Johnson's Night Hawks. If you were not a style show fan last year, join the merry throng and witness one of the best fashion revues of the season. With such a program we promised Madame we just couldn't miss.

Citizens rush from Homes. Gaining his feet, he ran down the street and into the darkness screaming "Murder, police, they are trying to kidnap me. Don't let them change lawyers on me," he would shout. "Forstell will ruin me if they change lawyers." Forstell is his white attorney. The usually quiet Cook Avenue was thrown into turmoll as citizens rushed from their homes, but it was several hours later before they were able to find Malone, though the police, headed by Rev. George Brewer, with a searchlight, combed the alleys and area-ways, looking behind garbage cans and through cellars. He was finally found on Page Avenue, where he had attempted to secrete himself in the home of a white family who hearing him prowling about called the police. Released by Authorities. Released by Authorities. He was taken by the police to the colored city infirmary, People's Hospital No. 2, but his friends took immediate steps to gain charge of him, and the hospital authorities released him about 2 A. M. to Dr. O. S. McClelland, a local colored physician. Malone was returned to the house from which he had made his spectacular escape, the home of Prof. and Mrs. Robert Jackson, close friends of the unfortunate man, with whom he had been living most of the time since he left Poro college, and with whose names his has been linked in much speculation by the St. Louis public. Prof. Jackson, despite Malone's highly nervous condition and pitiable state, expressed himself as being unwilling to prefer charges of destruction of property on which Malone might have been held for examination. Shortly after returning to the Jackson home, he became violent again, and fearing evidently that the Missouri authorities might detain him for observation, his friends and lawyers spirited him over the state line to East St. Louis, where he was lodged in St. Mary's Hospital, a Catholic institution. At six in the morning, he went through the window there, and it is reported that they were compelled to strap him to a cot for the rest of Sunday in order to quiet his nerves. Friends Report Oddities. Mr. Malone's friends have been reporting oddities in his actions for some time. When the Urban League met here last week, one of the delegates, Noah H. D. Thompson, formerly of Los Angeles, now business manager of "Opportunity Magazine," New York, called on him, and Mr. Malone took a towel and some powder and powdered Thompson's face copiously. Later he visited a session of the League in the People's Finance Building and seeing Mr. Thompson seated there rushed up to him and kissed him resoundingly, much to Mr. Thompson's embarrassment. Mrs. Malone has been out of the city for several days, and it was impossible to reach her for a statement on the situation. It is predicted in some quarters that Malone's attorneys will seize on his condition as an excuse for further postponement of the hearing scheduled for the 11th of April. If this happens, it is said Mrs. Malone will probably demand that the receiver be removed and she permitted to conduct her business without restriction, pending the divorce proceedings. LOCAL DANCERS IN FILM In the movie which is to be filmed under the auspices of the St. Paul Pioneer Press and Dispatch at the Capitol Theater next week, six colored young men will appear. Sylvania Roberts, Chester Oden and Kid Charleston will appear as dancers and there will be three othrs in the cast as Pullman porters and waiter. "Entered as second class matter Nov. 7, 1925, at the post office at St. Paul, Minn., under the act of March 3, 1879" CHICAGO MAYORALTY ELECTION gent elections in Chicago should be significant. Negro race for two outstanding reasons. The fact that in the second largest city in strength and solidarity of purpose they 'balance of power" and elect Thompson the best friend the race had among the candidates of the mayor's seat the Negroes in Chicago reasonable amount of justice and fair play has been the Thompson policy to employ people possible in city work. He didn't so-called collar and tie job to competent aid to give protection to Negroes when my protection under the law, and equal or jobs shouldn't be regarded as any spec. so Negroes, but in view of the policies in majority of local as well as states are denied the Negro, hence when "Bigam it naturally evokes comment. And thing which Negroes generally will fear as American Negroes is concerned that to provoke laughter when one of the American democracy can't have a peaked or the threat of bloodshed. It people who boast of that mythical Norther so much about and can't have an elected policemen, hundreds of armed plain mander of the state's militia on the scene to come to Chicago in a moment of superior Nordics in check. Same situation existed in some small Newell Latin American or other small native raw material much desired by certifiers the usual howl that "they are incarce hence the so-called barons of industrial Sam to land his famous Marines and who can't have election without riess refused on the grounds of human brothel in Mexico, then the "Interest" would of an election in Brazil some years after president (remember, I said Brazil regalded to the world that revolution was an eye witness told me that the revolution an a few gang fights here and there that is the same old "Hokum" that they bad that Drucci was killed just at this; that the O'Banion gang will have to stop busy season and elect another leader. The Civilization." The recent elections in Chicago should be significant to members of the Negro race for two outstanding reasons. The first of which is the fact that in the second largest city in America, by numerical strength and solidarity of purpose they were able to swing the "balance of power" and elect Thompson who is no doubt the best friend the race had among the candidates. With Thompson in the mayor's seat the Negroes in Chicago will be assured of a reasonable amount of justice and fair play in every respect. It has been the Thompson policy to employ Negroes in every capacity possible in city work. He didn't seem afraid to offer the so called collar and tie job to competent Negroes, nor was he afraid to give protection to Negroes when necessary. Equal protection under the law, and equal opportunity in government jobs shouldn't be regarded as any special kindness when given to Negroes, but in view of the policies carried out by an overwhelming majority of local as well as state governments, these rights are denied the Negro, hence when "Big Bill" Thompson gives them it naturally evokes comment. The second thing which Negroes generally will notice is not so serious so far as American Negroes is concerned, but it is almost sufficient to provoke laughter when one of the leading cities in this great American democracy can't have a peaceable election without bloodshed or the threat of bloodshed. It is ridiculous to think of a people who boast of that mythical Nordic superiority that we hear so much about and can't have an election without 5000 uniformed policemen, hundreds of armed plain clothes men, and the commander of the state's militia on the scene with troops mobilized ready to come to Chicago in a moments notice to help to hold these superior Nordies in check. If the same situation existed in some small Negro Republic, or some small Latin American or other small nation which had some valuable raw material much desired by certain interests, there would be the usual howl that "they are incapable of self-government" hence the so-called barons of industry would be begging Uncle Sam to land his famous Marines and take over these peoples who can't have election without rioting, and if Uncle Sam refused on the grounds of human brotherhood as in the recent case in Mexico, then the "Interest" would wail. We know of an election in Brazil some years ago when they elected a colored president (remember, I said Brazil) after which our papers heralded to the world that revolution was raging in Brazil, and an eye witness told me that the revolution was nothing more than a few gang fights here and there through the Republic. But that is the same old "Hokum" that the "supers" try to hand out. It's too bad that Drucci was killed just at this time because that means that the O'Banion gang will have to stop now in the midst of a busy season and elect another leader. This is truly a great "Nordic Civilization."

Such a place will add years to one's life years. In cataloging the factors by which Minnesota excels other states one the traveler quickly observes is the opportunity for out-door activity, offered the person of moderate means. Almost everywhere else a house, "on the bank of a big ribber, or beside some shinin' lake," is a dream of luxury, impossible of attainment, except by the wealthy. Here the poor man has a chance. And we are numerous. Last Sunday Dr. Turner gave a talk on "Negro Health" which was crowded with an array of startling facts. During his talk the doctor stressed the benefits of vacation in the open to the child out of school, the regular worker, the tired mother and the professional man. Anywhere but in Minnesota the doctor's talk to a group of colored people would have been as one more dream added to those of the Arabian Nights. But here in the land of 10,000 lakes it is possible for a while vet. Our lake frontage is fast falling into the hands of speculators who are demanding fabulous prices for lots. The demand is so great that lakes with flat shores and an abundance of vegetable deposit, an abiding place of reptiles, instead of fish, are thrown upon the market to snare unsuspecting buyers. The promoters of the Minesure project have a property that should be grasped by Boy Scouts and Girl Reserves for camps; by churches and welfare organizations for those who would otherwise be unable to enjoy outdoor life; and by the provident parent who is proud to care well for his family. Minesure is on the banks of Lake St. Croix, just 22 miles away. A lake that is fed by the sparkling water of the St. Croix River as it comes dashing through the rocky dels. Here a poor man has a chance to enjoy what is usually the heritage of the rich. Dr. Turner is right. A few weeks each year at such a place will add years to one's life and usefulness to one's years.

We are not on a wav in a stench filled valley by a stagnation well curched and lined with beautiful trees. This is the spring of the year. At most of our homes there is a six months' accumulation of tin cans, ashes and dead grass. Twenty below zero and sixteen inches of snow do not create conditions that super-induce a desire to roll up one's sleeves and work in the back yard. But now Old Sol has left the Tropic of Capricorn and is half way on his annual trip to the Tropic of Cancer and has brushed away the power of winter. The early birds and flowers are here as heralds telling us it is time to clean up. The colored people of St. Paul happen to live in one of the city's best locations. Our neighborhood is near downtown. It is convenient to our twin city. We are not on a weather-beaten hill top, nor in a stench filled valley by a stagnant pool. Our streets are well curbed and lined with beautiful trees. We are not near smoky and noisy railroad yards or a busy manufacturing district. And the transportation is good. Such a neighborhood is worth keeping clean. What the milkman, postman and insurance collector sees in our neighborhood will be reflected by the whole community. Cleanliness is a quick approach to respect. And respected people get consideration. To the person who is supposed to be a leader in church, lodge of club, this is the time to prove your leadership. Your rubbish should be cleaned up first. We cannot expect city officials to spend money for schools, lights and paving in a run-down neighborhood. Let us invite attention by cleaning up.

The total donated to "foundations," etc.—mostly of business men—is computed at $3,500,000,000. Modern generosity takes many forms. It is particularly gratifying to note a growing tendency to do kindly things for workers. Many wills of employers now make liberal bequests to employees, especially those of long service. Living employers, also, are devoting more of their means than formerly for the benefit of those who have helped them to make their fortunes. Forbes Magazine tells us. One cannot but note, however, that very rarely is anything done for those who toll in factories, foundries, mines and suchlike places. Far more is done for collar-and-cuff workers than for those who expend body and brawn. Perhaps one reason for this is that those paid by the hour or by the piece or by the day, usually insist upon extra pay for extra work, whereas office workers and the like make no such demands. Even so, it is extremely desirable that generosity be extended to all classes of wage earners.

Daniel Boone Fought in Army of Braddock Daniel Boone was one of the bravest of those early settlers of the British colonies in America who penetrated vast wildernesses, fought with hostile Indians, and faced death daily. He was brought up amid the hardships of the frontier, when boys had to show a man's courage and do a man's work. The new country at this time was full of trouble. There was bitter hostility between the English and French, the French being helped by the Indians. Braddock was making his campaign against the French, and the war seemed in the air everywhere. Daniel Boone was a sturdy boy, strong for his age, and fond of adventure. He saw an opportunity to satisfy this desire by joining the army of Braddock, and he accordingly offered his services. These were accepted and he was made chief wagoner and blacksmith. Braddock later was ambushed by hostile French and Indians, and in the general rout which followed a large number of British soldiers were killed. Many of the drilvers who were trapped were slain. Daniel finally managed to cut the traces of his team, and escaped down a ravine followed by a hall of shot and arrows. When he was thirty-four, Boone, with five companions, set out on the exploration trip to Kentucky. Boone was taken prisoner by the savages and they liked him so well that they wouldn't let him go, but finally he got away. If he had been unable to escape at the time Braddock's army was attacked, he, of course, never would have made the trip to Kentucky, and the development of the rich and productive lands which he opened up would have been delayed several years and the march of civilization hindered. Beacon for Mount Etna Winds which sweep the magnificent summit of Mount Etna, Sicily, soon will be harnessed to light one of the world's most powerful beacons, a million candlepower light which will guide flyers on the Mediterranean air routes, according to Popular Science Monthly. Experts estimate that the power it will draw from the winds will exceed the power which is generated by the huge plants at Niagara Falls. Alphabetical Lore The Romans took their alphabet of 23 letters into Britain, as they had already taken it into Gaul and other conquered countries, and it was adopted later by the Anglo-Saxons. To the Anglo-Saxon alphabet, however, three new letters were added. Two of these were runic letters and represent as nearly as possible the sounds of "th" and "ph." Later the influence of the Normans caused these to be discarded, and the three additional letters of our alphabet are quite different. They are "i," "u" and "w." Their Choice In a recent intelligence test given in a high school there was this sentence: "A mother is — than her daughter." Underneath were the words, "wiser, taller, older," and the pupil was supposed to fill in the blank in the sentence with the most appropriate of the words. Did they do it? Fully half the class ignored the given words altogether and filled in the sentence to read: "A mother is more wrinkled than her daughter."—Springfield Union. 1$ DOWN And less than 10 cents per day will give you a lot at beautiful Minesure-on-Lake-St. Croix Minutes-Not Miles From St. Paul Lots Priced At--- $150.00 200.00 250.00 ```markdown ``` Wide gravel county road on the trail to Mine-sure-on-Lake St. Croix.

RARE ART OBJECTS IN BEEHIVE TOMB Find Fills Antiquarians With Delight. Golden drinking cups, necklaces of gold rosettes, silver signet rings, carved agates, and other ornaments of a workmanship that challenges comparison with the best jewelry of today, and yet made at least 3,000 years ago, have come to light in an ancient beehive tomb in Greece. The treasure was found by a group of Swedish archeologists, headed by Prof. Axel W. Persson of Upsala university. The art objects, contemporary with the tomb of King Tutkhamkhen in Egypt, are now locked in a special safe in the Greek museum at Nauplia. Usually the beehive tombs have been plundered of all contents centuries ago, but this one was intact, and the antiquities placed as memtemos with the bodies of a king and queen and princess were most convincing proof of the high culture that prevailed in Greece during the Mycenean age, or before Homer. Pictures of such animals as lions and bulls decorated the golden vessels and rings, while the war scenes, artistically carved in the small agate stones on the siguet rings, aroused the immediate admiration of the excavators. Curiously enough, the design of an octopus on the bottom of the king's drinking cup reminded Professor Persson, he said in his lecture in Sweden, of Japanese art, while certain prehistoric houses found in Greece recall the cubistic effects that ultra-modern architects achieve with re-enforced concrete. Originally the existence of a beehive tomb had been reported to the Greek authorities at Mycenae by a guide named Orestes who, while conducting an American woman to the ruined Mycenean fortress of Midea, had noticed peasants removing flat stones from a tobacco field near Dendra, less than a mile from Midea. From his father, Dimitri, who had helped excavate beehive tombs in his youth, Orestes had heard of possible treasure finds under such stones, and when the Swedish archeologists were called in by Doctor Bertos, the Greek ephor, they quickly confirmed his suspicions. Though caved in, the tomb had not been robbed, and when cleared of its debris it measured eight meters in width and about the same distance in height, the vault being made of flat, unworked stones. Situated on a slight incline, the tomb was entered by a passage about forty-eight feet long and seven feet wide. In the chamber itself was found a limestone floor and in shafts about a foot and one-half below the floor were encountered elongated stone slabs which covered the graves. Underneath the stones were layers of clay into which were mixed bits of charcoal which proved that human hands had once handled it. And then about sixty centimeters down began to appear the humann bones and the bits of gold. E. N. Martin L. R.

Livy Manuscript Lost in Confusion at Fire At the occurrence of a great fire in Constantinople about 1800, says the Market for Exchange, a great portion of books were thrown into the street. It so happened that just at that time the secretary of the French embassy happened to be passing, and as he was edging his way through the crowd he espied a man gazing at a large folio which he had just picked up. The diplomat, upon looking over the man's shoulder, saw that it was a manuscript of Livy. He asked to examine it more closely, and upon doing so discovered that it contained the second as well as the first decade, and very probably all that is lost to us. He offered the man a goodly sum if he would conceal the book under his long robe and follow him to his lodgings. The man agreed; but in the confusion and crowd they were separated and so it was that the secretary lost the opportunity of discovering one of the world's greatest treasures. Postal Requirements The prepayment of postage in order to handle mail economically and expeditiously is a fundamental principle. However, to meet a demand for some arrangement so that room keys carried away from hotels or steamships might be returned congress passed an act July 3, 1926, covering this. Under this act such keys may be accepted for mailing without prepayment of postage and dispatched to the hotel or ship of origin, the postage to be collected from the addressee upon delivery at the rate of five cents for each two ounces or fraction of two ounces. The regular rate, if prepaid, is one and one half cents for each two ounces or fraction thereof. SIMPSON The Reliable are now located in their bea Office Phone—Cedar 1024 Residence Phones Tel.

This is a huge tome 5 feet 10 inches high by 2 feet 2 inches across. It was wheeled out on a truck. The blinding is a masterpiece of morocco, four skins being used for each panel. It is decorated in gold figures of harps, roses and crowns, and huge brass bosses and clasps are clamped on. The book, which is kept locked, has a special position in the King Edward library. Boone Gravestones Saved Daniel Boone's parents died before their son had come into prominence. His father, Squire Boone, died in 1765 and his mother in 1777. They were buried in the Joppa graveyard, near Mocksville, N. C., and two small stones were erected to mark the graves. Almost a century passed before the accomplishments of Daniel Boone brought about a historic interest in the graves. Then visitors began to chip off little pieces of the gravestones as souvenirs. Fearing the stones would be destroyed, residents had taken them to a Mocksville bank and placed in safekeeping. There they remained until the Boone Trail Highway association had them returned to the graveyard and set into solid concrete beyond the reach of the casual, vandal—Kansas City Times.

The crust is removed after standing a day and the crumb is pounded in a mortar and put away in a damp place until it is covered with mold. When it is ripe enough the new cheeses are thoroughly rubbed with the moldy bread, and layers of it are put between the layers of curd. After several days' pressing the cheeses are wrapped in linen and dried and sent to dairy vaults where they are stored, rubbed with salt, scraped, etc., so as to enable the mold to run through them.

Modern Type of Girl as One Man Sees Her The modern girl is more alluring than any feminine type of history—and serious-minded, reasoning young men are avoiding matrimony more than ever before. That's the conclusion of a young business man, eligible, earning $6,000 a year, who, writing in Smart Set Magazine, points to three types of girls as his reasons for dodging the marriage bond. First of them, he says, is the one "who believes that a girl has the same right to freedom in her sex life as a man. Not only believes it but says so—and does so, for all I know. Maybe she will make someone a mighty good wife—but not me." No. 2 is the girl, usually a petted only daughter, restless and with the idea that "money is just made to be spent. As a wife she'd be a wonderful sweetheart, but we'd both be in the poorhouse inside of a year or two." And third is the intellectual girl who insists upon showing it. "She has ideas and beliefs about everything from Bolshevism to birth control. As a wife she'd have her clubs to go to, her political meetings, her papers on various subjects to prepare. I'm afraid we wouldn't be happy together." Had to Be Satisfied With Seeing the "Lion" Matthew Arnold, the English poet and essayist, came to the United States and gave 100 lectures, but even the manager of the tour admitted that Arnold's voice was extremely weak and that it was unlikely that any person in the audience ever heard a word of the lectures, a writer in the Kansas City Star asserts. At Arnold's first appearance in Chickering hall, New York city, every seat was sold at a high price. Chaucey M. Depew introduced the speaker and Arnold stepped forward. He had been well advertised and the audience was breathlessly still with interest. Arnold opened his manuscript and his lips began to move, but not a sound was audible. The audience craned necks and put hands to ears, but with no results. Some, fearing deafness had overtaken them, even looked around to see how others were reacting to the silence, but were reassured by the impatience manifested by their neighbors. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant was among those present. After a few minutes he said to Mrs. Grant, "Well, wife, we have paid to see the British lion; we cannot hear him roar, so let us go home." They left the hall and soon there was a stream of people leaving. Justice by Mail Rather than make the arduous trip of 74 miles over a mountain divide where snow is 10 feet deep, V.

But "Never Repeated" L. A. Huffman, as official photographer at Fort Keogh, Mont., in the period when Gen. Nelson A. Miles was commander of that army post, came in personal contact with the heads of both Indian and American fighting forces in one day. Huffman had become friendly with Rain-In-the-Face, of Custer battle fame, who was a prisoner of war at the fort, and after considerable difficulty Huffman had arranged to photograph this leader of the Indian tribes. The Indian chieftain remained at Huffman's studio for three hours, having been taken from the army's Indian prison camp surreptitiously. In his prolonged absence, the other Indians feared their leader had been hanged by American soldiers and an investigation was started by General Miles. Rain-in-the-Face returned to the camp and Huffman was summoned before General Miles. "Young man," said Miles, addressing Huffman, "if you ever take another prisoner of war out of camp without permission from the adjutant or myself, you will find yourself in very serious trouble." "I never repeated," Huffman said afterward, "but I had gained some fine pictures of Rain-in-the-Face."—Nell M Clark in the American Magazine. Merely Got Patient "Have you given him anything or done anything to relieve him?" asked the young doctor, who had fared into the backwoods to see a patient in the dead of a stormy night. "Well, no doc—that is to say, nothin' to speak of," said the wife of the patient. "I had him soak his feet in almost b'illin' water with a lot of mustard in it, an' I clapped a red hot plaster on his back, an' another one on his chist, an' I've put a couple of blisters I had in the house under his arms, an' a bag o' cracked ice to the back of his neck, an' had him drink a pint o' ginger tea with a dash o' run in jes as hot as he could swaller it, an' I followed that with some yard bitters one o' the neighbors sent over, an' I had him take five or six pills out of a box I got one day of a man that come along with med'cine to sell, an' he's had three or four spoons o' Quackem's pain-killer an' one o' these sidelitz powders, but I didn't feel like as if I ort to give much o' anything, or try to do for him until you come an' see what you think alled him. Then I reckoned we could go at him and really give him somethin' an' do somethin' fer him.—Forbes Magazine. Archibald's Premise Little Archibald is of an inquiring nature. When he comes across anything he does not understand he is seldom slow in asking for information. So when he was told to entertain a visitor for ten minutes, he came straight to the point that had interested him from the moment the man had removed his hat. "Mr. Jones," he asked, "why is it you've got no hair on your head?" "Well," was the reply. "I work so hard with my head that my hair doesn't get a chance to grow; my brains are too busy." "Oh," sald Archibald, light dawning upon him, "so that's why mother doesn't grow a mustache." Worries Good and Bad The strange thing about worry is that it does the most mischief when concerned with the most trivial matters. Thus to worry about bad luck, domestic infelicity, disagreeable neighbors or the welfare of the boy at college or in the army, produces nothing but fatigue of body and soul, whereas a bit of anxiety concerning the colony of germs that have taken an apartment in the nose or throat, the annoying constipation that develops from bad dietary habits, the vacant soil in the back yard that needs cultivation or the narrow limits of the family exchequer might be the first step toward longer life and a bigger income.—Exchange. Amethyst Superstitions The amethyst was worn in ancient Egypt. Amethyst scarabs were highly esteemed by Egyptian soldiers, who wore them on the battlefield as a charm against death and the shafts of war. This practice survived into the Middle ages, when the amethyst was regarded as the stone sacred to St. Valentine, who is said always to have carried one. A powerful tallman for the protection of riders and their horses was a winged image of a horse engraved upon an amethyst. A modern version of this belief is that the ownership of an amethyst will give vigilance to business men, and sportsmen and soldiers calmness in the hour of danger. Mirages in Ocean Mirages are frequent under favorable atmospheric conditions on the southern and eastern sides of the ice regions, where the cold and warm waters mxl.
