Cushman and the Circus.

Cushman and the Circus,
1t does not take long for some great
statesmen to become so accustomed to
the adulation of the multitude that they
accept it as matter Of course. A few
days ago Representative Cushman. of
Washington State, the lanky lawyer who
has built up something of a reputation
as a humorist in Washington City, and
perhaps elsewhere. was seated in Judge
Lanning's office, out in Aberdeen. Wash,
and was busily engaged telling J. G.
Lewis. Percy Perry, and other voters
how much brighter life was to him after
meeting them He sat on the small of his
back, with his feet in the show window.
and was getting on famously. As the
words rolled from his lips a bugIer rode
down the street outside, blowing stirring
calls. Then came a band I'm gIittering
uniforms, footing for dear life. Imme-
diately Mr.. Cushman rose, bowed low TO
the people in the street, made some ex-
pressive gestures. and commenced to ex-
press his thanks for the thoughtfulness
of the townspeOple in providing such
welcome for him.
We'll, er-you see. Congressman. this
isn't exactly in your honor stammered
Percy Perry. AS matter Of fact. Hum

noon without seeing the performance.

PUBLISHING BOARDS MEETS.

For the first time this year a quo
rum was present at the regular meet
ing of the National Baptist Publish
ing Board, which met in the office of
Secretary Boyd, on the second floor
of the administration building of the
institution, Tuesday morning, Feb. IL,
1907. Rev. c. H. Clark, Chairman of
the Board, presided. Much important
work was gone over Their regular
meetings are on the second Tuesday
in each month, but owing to not hav-
ing had a meeting in three months,
the amount of work necessary to be
accomplished could not be done in
one day, so after considering many
important matters pertaining 10 the
institution and seeing that it was I'M
possible to finish Tuesday, the meet
ing adjourned about 2:30 Tuesday aft
ernoon, to meet again Thursday, Feb
ruary IA, and finish up its work.
1t is learned that the most impor-
tant matter coming before the Board
was that pertaining to the missionary
work and the %advisability of enlarg-
ing the quarters of the Board, which
are unusually cramped. 1t Is not
learned just what steps toward i'm
provements will be taken, as no plans
have been formulated. DR.. E. G. Nor
ris, of Helena, Ark, who was expected
to attend this meeting, was not pres
ent, neither was Rev. G. William
Ward, of Chattanooga, Tenn, who is
a member of the Board. The latter
sent a proxy. The meeting adjourned
to meet on the second Tuesday in
March.

some good playing, though at the end
OF the first half the score was five to
