SILENT COMPANY
ENJOYS BANQUET
NO NOISE MARS PLEASURE OF
OCCASION
Minneapolis Society of Deaf Mutes En-
tertains Fifty Out-of Town Guests
and Signs Of Enjoyment Are Many,
Despite Gloom Caused by Minnesota
Defeat at Northrop Field.

Altho somewhat depressed over the
defeat of the football team which they
came to Minneapolis to see win, nearly
fifty deaf mutes enjoyed dinner at
Richmond halls last night with apparent
zest and enjoyment. The visitors were
guests of the Minneapolis Society of
Deaf Mutes and the dinner was given
for the benefit of the church fund of
the society. -
The functions could not be described
IS a noisy one. In, truth everything
was unusually, and weirdly quiet, and
altho there were many signs of good fell
loWship,z ak yoeiferous expressions of
feeling were tabooed. The banquet
table was loaded down with delicacies
and these were. consumed with evident
relish, but without audible comment.
Silently the viands disappeared and the
conversation Of the banqueters flowed to
tie of the knives and forks. There was
evidently conversation, but to the out
slider it was not Ineligible.
Following the dinner there was mo-
tion program that brought pleasure to
thh guests. Wit and humor mingled
with the gloom incident to the losing Of
the football game to make a perfect
pdst-prandial function. Altho as far as
known none of the principals whispered
word OF 1T, the secret leaked out tha1
many Of the guests who had come from
various parts of the northwest to hell
Minnesota with their moral support hat
w3gered sums of money on the contest
IT. was learned that an aggregate O.
about $500 had been bet and lost on th,
game, but despite this good cause fo
sorrow, Joy seemed to predominate.
Leaving the dinner table the guest
and their Minneapolis hosts repaired t.
the parlors adjoining the. dining room
and there followed a social evening, il
which old ties were strengthened an,
new friendships made. Nearly eight
of the mutes spent the evening in socia
intercourse, talked over the prospects o
the Minneapolis society and promise
aid in the work being carried on by tn
local organization for the aid and ul
lifting Of the afflicted.
The Minneapolis society will meet i
the same place every two weeks. Their
will be dinners and it is. said tina
dancing parties will be given to hel
raise funds with which to carry on tn
good work of building church for dea
mutes.

Plantation 100 years Agd and Came

Honored Citizen. ... III ssrs u

A fitting memorial is to be erected
by the colored people Of Minneapolis
over the grave of Paul Brown, the
aged man Who was burned to death In
his little home at Third avenue Sc
and Third street last Thursday. 5
Paul was said to be more than 100
years old, and was for many years a
political leader among the colored peos
pie here. He rendered many valuable
services for his race, and because Of
these services and because, of his high
moral character, the movement for a
memorial has been started.
The patriarch was born in slavery
on Mississippi plantation. Even the
old man himself did not known the
exact date Of his birth, but he was GER
tain that he had passed the century
mark. His master was wealthy and as
boy Paul was popular with the house
heavy work on the place, but was a
personal attendant on his master, who
gave him the advantage Of a common
school education. He could read and
write we'll and also learned many things
in the business world. %t &C.,
About thirty years ago Paul's master
began spending his summers at Lake
Minnetonka in order to avoid the in
tense southern heat. The faithful slave
accompanied MIN, ana on one OF these
trips he was given his freedom. He
had by this time learned to love the
north, and he settled here to start in
life wholly for himself. There were
but few colored persons in Minneapo-
lis at that. time and Paul was the only
one that could read and write. He was
consequently called on. to put thru bus
in'ess deals on small scales for the
others, and in this way he became a
recognized leader, ::
No, campaign manager ever thought
Of estimating the strength of his party
until ssOld Paul had been seen, and
when the old leader told his friends
how to vote, they usually followed his
advice. Ill r
Until a few years ago he was active
ly engaged in the express and moving
business, and enjoyed the confidence Of
all classes of residents on the East
Side Other expressmen made good
livings on the business that Paul was
compelled to refuse. He was fruga

TAKE OUT TWO
BITS FOR PAY
THAT rs WHAT SALVATION ARMY
PROTEGEs SAY.
Unfortunate Who Is Saving Money to
Buys Back Cork Leg Is Remembered
by Waits and strays When They
Receive Their Share of Weeks
Profits in Salvage Store. Ia

Last uight Captain w. H. Gooding
divided $137.5o among the thirty,,hve
men who are at present employed in
the Salvatore Army industrial home.
AS tn waits and stray of labor, who
make the home a place of refuge in
times of hard luck lined up in front of
the desk, the captain handed out to
them their share in the week s profits
of the salvage store. The sums ran
all the way from 50 to SO, but most
of the men received between So and
81. The larger sums went to the per-
manent employees of the home.
Out of the meager sums handed to
them for spending money they contrib
uted a quarter each for one Of their
number more unfortunate than them
selves. "Take out two bits for Peg"
was the invariable formula with which
they received their shares. -. I
"Peg,' or Thomas, Murray is a
bright young fellow who has lost leg.
pay for a good artificial limb he will
be able to support himself. He has
been saving for long time, but in his
crippled condition he cannot earn much
and good ''store legs'' are expensive.
The industrial department has been
helping him by giving him light work
to do.
His companions in the home learned
of his brave struggle to recover his
earning power, and out of their own
poverty have been adding to the store
of money he is laying by for the pur-
chase of the cork limb of his dreams.
Already .$25 has been turned in to Cap
tain ,Gooding, ard the sum is swelling
every week. - - - VI ia =
Captain Gooding is justly proud of
his home "We do not give charity
he said. 'The men earn everything
they get. We give them three square
meals a day and place to sleep. What
we make in the course Of the week is
divided among them, and they can do
with it as they please.
"This does not cost the city a cent
either. We receive no money contribu
tions People give us old clothes and
old furniture, stuff which they are
glad to dispose Of. The sale Of ole
| newspapers and magazines alone brings
in enough 10 pay our running expenses
We sell the old clothes and furniture
given to us at prices which put then
| within the reach Of the poorest people
Such sales help them and are almost
clear profit to us. We are not depend
ing on any ones charity. The depart
nent pays it's share of the rent anC
running expenses Of the building.
A man can come to us and be tide(
over period Of hard luck with no los
of his self-respect. He earns ever,
thing we give him. Many men are abl
by living here to get safely thru tn
tim when they are not sick enough t.
be in the hospital, and not well enougl
to do regular work. We have ligh

Worry Wrecks

Thousands of people every year actually worry them
selves to death by allowing their minds to dwell on morbid
subjects.
Many more thousands, while not actually worrying
themselves into their graves materially impair their
health moral mental and physical and weaken their pow
ers by the same baeful process.
The idea that is unfortunately placed in life that
one has ncpient disease, the thought of financial
failure of unsatisfactory of the thousand
efort-are by thousands accepted as ground for soul
deadening worry and Encouragement
The little magazine called Suggestion saws that a mel
anchoy thought which fixes itself upon ones mind needs
as much doctorng physical disease. 1t needs to be
eradcaed from the mind it will have Just the same eff
feet as neglected disease would have.
Every melancholy thought, every morbid action and
every naggng worry should be registered the utmost
and the patient should be protected by cheerful thoughts
of which there is bounfu in every ones possess
lon Bright companions cheaper than drugs and plas
tiers.
The morbid condition Of mind produces a morbid con-
don OF body and the disease does happen to be in the
system it receives every encouragement to develop We
need more mental therapy.
Hospital physicians who are frank enough to talk
freely the matter will tell you that astonishing per-
cenage of their patients suffer from neuashenia an act
ual enough aiment, but induced by morbid imagnings
and ideness and persisted in until mind has enslaved the
body and made it a mere bundle of sick nerves.
There is nothing counts for health like cheerfuIness
and nothing counts for that like wholesome work The
mind that not occupied pretty apt to become diseased
as machine that is not used rusts away.
Imagination is of the finest qualities OF the human
mnd but like all other qualities is good only when rightly
directed It lead upward the fuller life or it can
lead us downward to despair and death
