When il r aims il Pours.

Ever since last August, a few
of the amusement houses, such
as nicKleodeons, have by indirec
ton, said that they did not de-
sire coored patronage, aid one
on Monroe street, goes SO far as
to put out a sign: ''We do not
solicit colored patronage. The
colored people have tried to re-.
ciprocate by not 'bothering
around but saving their nickles.
Now Mr.. Johnson. a colored man
has opened nickleodeon at 706
e. Washington street, whose
shows are first class and the COL
ored people are giving him, as
they should, their patronage.
But when it rains it pours. Now
we are informed that another
nickleodeon, catering to espec
tally for colored patronage, has
opened above Johnson's on East
Washington street. The colored
people will of course, let the lat
ter go by default, as it may
prove detrimental. Johnson is
conducting a good show and as
the other nickIeodeons have act
ed so mean, let them not be fat
tened from the purse of the peo.
pie who are the first to beousted.
Do not be deceived ror caught in
these traps.
Patronize Johnson who will
not refuse nor slight you when
his purse shall have been filled.

the Negro Business League, and
representative of the Tuskegee
Institute, spoke to large, repre-
sentative and appreciative au

dealt with the commercial and
economic needs of the colored
man. His speech was we'll re-
ceived and he was enthusiastical
ly applauded. Mr.. Moore urged
the colored people to enter the
various business avenues and
make for them d record as endur-
ing as other races He also
showed the vast accomplishments
of the colored people and cited
their short comings and gave as
the reason their lack of unity
and tenacity. The speech is con

heard here. After the lecture
an informal reception was held at

RESCUED BY COP.

Penntlcss. with nothing more than

Of Tomahawk. Wis. an old woman of
co. was thrown from No. today when
it pulled in because she had no money
To pay her fare farther. She got off
onto the platform dazed by her
strange surroundings ard frightened
by the pitiable situation in which she
had been placed. and as she stood
there trying to decide what to do she
was noticed by Louis Fabert. the
Northern Pacitic'S special policeman.
Louis has a heart as big as the day is
long. and he Immediately took the old
woman in charge, and taking her tn
the waiting room, got her to tell him
he. story,
1t seems that the woman started
from her Wisconsin home some time
ago on her way to Spokane to visit
her sister She was taken i'll at ST.
Paul and was forced to stop there I'M
Til she had recovered. her meager
funds in the meanwhile having dwin-
died to about nothing. When she came
10 buy her ticket she found that she
could go no farther than Missoula
with the money she had. Her ideass
of distance were vague and she
got on the train. never doubling but
that she could find someone in Mis-
sonia. which she supposed to he with
in a short distance Of her destina-
ton. who knew her sister. and who
would send her on her way. As she
drew closer. however she began to
see that her ideas of the west were
confused. She tried to get the rail-
road people to let her tide on the
promise that her sister would pay for
the ticket when che reached Spokane.
The refusal of the conductor natural
enough. seemed strange to her country
soul. and when she got off the train
she had about lost her wits until Fa-
bert picked her up.
As soon As the policeman had heard
her story he told her to stay where
she was and hurried out into the wait
ing ROOM. where there was small
crowd waiting for the train. He told
the story to these men and To few
Northern Pacific men standing near
nv and asked each of them to help
the old lady on her way. Some of
them looked as though they were
about ON their last legs. but there was
not a hit of hesitation. and each gave
the policeman what little he could
spare to help the traveller on her way.
Fabert collected S10.75 and Charley
Schrase. who was standing nearby
wrote out an order on his cafe for a
liberal meal and sent tho wanderer
there. When she came back Fabert
was waiting for her with ticket to

train pulled in n moment later il was

climbed aboard ami who waved her
thanks out of the window as the train
