American Boardof Foreign Missions

When the American Board of Com.
 missioners for Foreign Missions meets in Brooklyn today there will be many wonderful things to tell of work well
 done. many plans outlined of work still awaiting them. This Is theiE ninety-ninth annual meeting, and each year the Boards existence has mark er further victories for the cause of Christianity and humanity. On June %, lsi0, this society was organized at Bradford, Massachusetts by the Con- gregational Church, and Is, therefore. the oldest foreign missionary society in America.

Within those ninety eigth years the Board has sent out 2,6l7 missionaries, two-thirds of whom
 were women. and has established twenty permanent missions. The mis- sIonaries "sow beside all waters" and from the station at Maratht in west
 
 in the Philippine Islands in 1903, the pathway of evangelical work has led through Africa. Turkey. China. Mie- ronesia. Japan. Spain. Mexico, and Austria.
 within the near-cantury that 1t has worked the Board has witnessed many changes that have wrought for the
 good of the work, that have made the once-hard ways smoother and more e. AGA fcaf was locked to the world until Perry opened the doors to commerce and Christian influences. When Living stone attempted to cross Africa years ago, 1t took six months to so from ZambesI to Cape Town. By railway the Journey is now made in four days.

Johnny Lowlosu, the Veteran,
 Talks Of Long Career as CloWn

.Tn my day they paid me and other clowns of my rank si50 and $200 a week. They could afford to do it. be- cause We were expected to entertain 5000 or 5000 people. But it's different now. The clown is only expected to be knocked down, to be beaten with
 slap stick and to have water quirted in his face. The circus can get plenty to do this at slT a week. It took a cer-
 tain kind of art and talent for the clown in the old days, but times have changed. I guess you have got many old people in Montgomery who will agree with me, that in many respects times have not changed for the better.
 I love the old circus life and l will
 probably follow 1t as long as I live
 but 1t is not what 1t used to be. I'm
 not going in the ring any more. but I have many friends among the news paper men of the country and the work of press agent is congenial." Lowiow spent the winter of 1859 in Montgomery. The circus with which he was travelling spent the winter here in that year.
 T bearded at the old Montgomery Hall" he said. Tt was located where
 your big Federal building now stands.
 A man named Watson ran the hotel and ali his walters were his negro slaves. We had an excellent service. too. Tn that winter I met a number of your people and I recall 1t as one of the most pleasant winters ever spent"
 Wherever he goes the veteran clown is received with greatest cordiality by those who remembered him in the ring of other years. He was given a warm reception in Montgomery yesterday.
 After a number of people had come to him to tell him when and where they had seen him perform and what he had done. he said:
 Some years ago we were playing in Virginia. That day I was on the door, taking tickets. A typical Vir- ginia Colonel came up. wearing a frock coat, a silk hat and kid gloves. He had his ticket in his hand. Bow ing to mo he said:
 "'suh, before give you this ticket. want to be assured that Johnny Lowlow is with this show T replied. Yes. sir. he is. Tickets please.'
 "'There is no mistake about 1t suh r
 he ask ed again.
 "'No sir. he is around here some where and perhaps somebody will i'm troduce you to him.
 "'welL suh.' he said T will give you my ticket, but I want to tell you, if Johnny Lowlow is not with this show, you had better make your peace with the Lord, before I come out
 T thought it advisable at this Junc- tuFe to introduce myself"

 Johnny Lowiaw, for fifty-two ytsTs . circus clown--Ioanny Lowlow whose name will recall to thousandx of Ala hamians with a pleasant thrill their lost youth--was in Montgomery yes terday with John Robinson's circus. He goes Into phe ring no moro as q clown. not because he Is unable to do so but because tirueg have changed. He travels with the circus as press agent, but he has ne duties of this o1ies and many other important duties to perform as we'll.
 There are few people in Montgomery who will fail to recall the name of the famous old clown. Year after year he has travelled through the South. Year after year he has made millions laugh. More than a generation ago he was known to fame. He first brought to notice of the people the song. -rhe Little Brown Jug" and other roiiicking and humorous songs of the dead years. A later generation will recall him as the delightful clown who originated the expression bring in another horse" an expression which has gone into the politics and cartoons of the country. Johnny Lowiow is now sixty-seven years old. His moustaehe Is a fiery red as it ever was and 1t would take a microscope to ind a gray hair in 1t. But the read hair of the laugh : maker is being sprinkled with silver. There are Alabamians who will re- call the introduction of Johnny Low- low as The Georgia Cracker from Yamacraw." As a matter of fact he was born and spent his boyhood in Savannah. but ran away as a youth to join q circus. and since then he has lived In the tented village. His home for a few months each winter has been in Cincinnati. He is as active and as ready witted as he ever was. but the days when he, Dan Rice and others of that rank were applaudad by a con- tinent have passed. He doesn't care to go into the ring any more.
 Times have changed" he said yes- terday. The people do not want quail ity in a circus any more than they want quantity. Tn my day and in the days of the old people they wanted . circus where they could see every sim gle act, where they could see every thing the clown did and hear every thing he said. But now the public wants three rings filled with bewilder- ing display of acts and nobody sees any one thing we'll. Ask a man today what he saw at the circus and he can't tell you.

pEcEIVEp MOTHER
Thought She was Drinking Coffee.

It is surprising how many persons have thought they were drinking eof- fee. when in fact it was Postum--
 The secret of good Postum is in boiling 1t until it is dark and rich. This brings out all the food value and with good cream one can scarcely tell fl from coffee-if at all.
 And yet there's no coffee in Postum It ia made of clean. hard wheat and a trifle of molasses. But the way the wheat is roasted brings out a flavor similar to coffee.
 My mother was troubled with Indi- Eestion." writes a Kentucky woman. "She made her coffee so strong that no one else could drink 1t. I knew it was killing her by degrees.
 She would make one pot of coffee to suit the family and then another for herself-much stronger. When she came to visit me- made her cof- fee while we drank Postum.
 "One morning the pots containing coffee and Postum being alike, got mixed. She drank Postum and said it was fine coffee had a better taste than hers. so rich and good. Then she began the use of Postum and found she began to get better. Now she is entirely well.'
