MUCH FUN WITH STOP WATCH
Owner Describes a Variety Of Ways
In Which He Has Found Il At
fords Him Diversion.

Having a stop watch" says the
mai who had just bought one, re
veals q whole lot of ways OF amusing
yourself that you'd hardly think Of
before.
"Since I've had a watch I've been
able to while away a lot of time. Not
a pun, either. For instance, walking in
the city where the numbered blocks
make calculating easy, ] am contin-
ually holding the watch on my pedes-
trian efforts.
Il figure first how long it takes me
70 walk a block. Going at top speed
so that some folks think I'm mad, ]
have been able to do So yards in
20 rs seconds, or about seven miles
an hour.
Then, of course, l time all inter-
mediate distances up to a mile. I've
learned pretty well just what four
miles an hour means, and l want to
tell you that folks who speak SO glibly
about dong that ought to hold a
watch on their performances to see
what it means.
"The other day I got UP some sprint
races between some boys just so ]
could time their running | find there's
a lot of fun. too. in making imaginary
bets with myself how long it will take
me to catch up with some one else
walking in the same direction or how
long it will be before a car gets to q
certain crossing.
ALSO a stop watch is a great thing
for timing how long you can hold your
breath"

Negro Beneficial Organizations.

The negroes of this city have
built and dedicated quite an i'm
posing structure, which is to be
used by the Knights of Pythias
of their race.
There are negro Free Masons,
negro Odd Fellows, negro
Knights of Pythias, negro Elks
and what not.
The white men of these orders
do not recognize the negro
organizations and repudiate
them, but the negroes persist in
keeping up the names. In Geof-
gia the white Knights of Pythias
and Elks succeeded in getting a
law through the Legislature for
bidding the negroes, under
penalties, from using the cog
nomens of these two orders.
The negroes might have used
any other terms and titles for
their organizations, but the
negro never invents or originates
ides. He only initiates. The
negroes have been in close con
tack with the whites for thous-
ands of years'in Egypt, Arabia,
Carthage, Rome and other
countries, and they have only
initiated the whites in their vices,
as we'll as their virtues. They
should have called themselves

Ethiopia, Monarchs Of Madagas-

no question as to names.-New

Give the "Campbellites" An In
ming.

This is from our "Campbellite"
contemporary, the Centralia,
Mo-, Courier: THE papers are
telling of special prayer services
for rain at Bennington, Okla. 1t
seems that the Presbyterians led
off with week Of prayer, but
a wind storm was the only an
swer. The Methodists next held
a ten days service, but a small
sprinkle was the best they could
do. The Holiness folks then be-
gan laboring with the rainman
and for two weeks Wrestled with
the Lord night and day, but nary
drop fell from the sky. The
Baptists finally took a hand and
at the conclusion Of the first
days prayer the heavens were
opened and the drouth broken.
Taking the close connection be-
tween water and Baptists into
consideration, we fail to see any,
thing remarkable in the Okla
bona story. What puzzles US to
know is Just how long the flood
would have lasted had the run
ming water Complexities taken a
