money lasted, but it went speedily in
the usual ways.
There are not wanting men who get
allowances from home and who work
hard at ranching the year round save
on the day and the few days following
the arrival of their money. Then
they go to town and spend it all reck-
Iessly and are apparently willing to
work for their keep until the next
quarter.
Calgary itself is not proud of being
the headquarters of this class Of ne'er
do wells, but there is no way to pre-.
vent the spending of money. The hope
is that the remittance man will in
time imbibe enough of the enthusiasm
for the country's future to throw his
influence in the path of development.

About twenty-five years ago, Rich
ard Boyd, colored, was in the employ
of the city of Topeka. and was making
good use of his good muscle Boyd
was past middle age then, but in good
health and powerful physically. One
day while digging in a narrow sewer
trench near the corner of the city Jail
building. few tons of earth slid down
on Boyd, changing him in an instant
from a gigantic negro laborer to
lifetime cripple. They dug him out
of the ground, and doctors patched
him uD as best they could. Then a
lawyer told the old man that it was
good case for a damage suit against
the city, as the accident was due to
negligence on the. part of the city. in
not properly bracing the walls of the
excavation. But the city fathers
had seen him first, and Uncle Boyd

Miss Johnson declared herself a sister
of "Mushmouth" Johnson, negro
gambler and saloonkeeper, when the
fact of her race was made public A
member of the Johnson household re-
ferred to her as the gamblers niece. In
the neighborhood of her home the par
entage of the young woman is looked
upon as a mystery.
Young women who have been the
constant companions of Miss johnson
during her career at the university
maintain that she is white girl, re-
fusing to believe that the handsome
young woman who has taken such a
leading part in the social and intel
lectual affairs of the university could
be a descendant of the African race.
The only information vouchsafed at
the Johnson home was that she was
born in St. Louis, that her birth was
recorded in a Catholic church there,
and that since babyhood she has been
a member of the gamblers household.

mouth Johnson, who has also been
generally believed to be the mother of

she was the mother of the university
