clares that the expenditure Of this modest

commonly walks from his home to the
city In the morning and from tie city
back to his home in the evening. and not

In that she has found her affinity
through the medium of a matrimonial
agency and after exchanging many per-
fumed missives with the Rev. ]. ].
Roberts of Lake Park. a comely and ap-
parentiy well-educated woman. who gave
her name as. Miss Middleton, travelled
1900 miles from a town in Vermont and
arrived here over the Georgia, Florida and
Southern railroad to meet her future hus-
band.
Fond anticipation turned to mortifica-
ton when she found that the Rev. J. J.
Roberts was a negro preacher and known
in the town as 'Burnt-Eye jake who
got his name from the fact that he had
lost one eye in a fire.
The startling discovery came as a shock
to the young woman, who had barely
enough funds to pay her transportation
back to Vermont. She declined to give
her address or speak Of her family con-
nections, but boarded a train for her
home. She had one look at 'Burnt-Eye

At the convention at Los Angeles last
summer conflicting action was taken by
different divisions of the meeting, one de-
claring for the Roosevelt system OF sim
plified spelling and the other for cutting
out the list of ten words Of simplified
spelling adopted some ten years ago and
since followed in the publications Of the
association. $500.
In view Of this conflict. Secretary Shep-
ard decided that until he was Instructed
otherwise It would be his duty to con-
tinue the spelling used by the association
for some time past, and in this position
he has now been sustained by the direct
ors and executive committee
