Of the avenue to the eager throng in
Regengetz circus, swelling and grow
ing louder as the news came that the
prince had ridden forth from the
gates. Glad voices cried out tidings
~ those in the background. The prince
was coming!
Bonny, adorable Prince Robin!
On came the splendid phalanx Of
guardsmen, followed by rigid infantry
men in measured tread. The great
coach of gold. with its half score Of
horses. rolled somberly beneath ma
lures canopy Of green. surrounded on
all sides by proud members Of the
royal guard. Two carriages from the
royal stables preceded the princes
coach. In the first were the Duke Of
Perse and three fellow members Of
the cabinet. The second contained
Baron Dangloss and General Braze.
The curtains in house ut the cor
ner Of the square parted gently. A
hawk faced old man peered out upon
the joyous crowd. His black eyes
swept the scene. A grim smile crept
into his face. He dropped the cur
tains and walked away from the win
dow. tossing cigarette into CRATE
on the opposite side Of the room. Then
he looked at his watch.
The man who stood in the middle Of
the freight car looking down In wonder
at the fugittves was tall vagabond Of
the most picturesque type. No raga-
muffin was ever so tattered and torn
Is this rakish individual. His clothes
barely hung together on his lank
frame.
Long, thin lips curled into smile of
delicious regard. His sides shook with
the quiet chuckle Of understanding.
He was thinking OF other days and
nights and of many maids In faroff
lands and of countless journeys In
which he. 800, had had fair and gentle

to be forgotten.
He lighted the stub Of tallow can

tress! How fortunate the lover! They
slept. How tired they were! Whence
had they come?
Why should he stay here to spoil
their waking hour? No. He would
surrender his apartment to them.
Softly he tiptoed to his own corner
Of the car He gathered up his be-
longings-an ancient violin case, a
stout walking stick, goodly sized
pack done up in gaudy cloth, we'll

the whites are laudlng the
achievement of Peary, we, the
negro people, should find it no
less satisfying pleasure to to sing
the praises of Henson, for the
reason he put his foot as far
north as did Peary. Other races

Ex-GOV. HANLY'S SPEECH.

Probably one of the finest and most
forceful speeches that was ever before
listened to in this city, was that deliv-
cred at the Arsenal Sunday afternoon
by Ex-Gov. Hanly of Indiana. He lit
orally held 1000 people spell-bound
for one and one-half hours-a great
orator is he. What makes his words
the more effective still, is his sincerity
his very soul seems to be in the fight.
His was a terrible indictment of the
liquor traffic, it's sale and the woeful
results of the use of it. aye, never a
man speaks like this man."
Here is a man doing a great work
for the moral elevation of the world.
Long live Hanly.

witness the corner stone laying. 1t has
been many a year since the people of
Jacksonville were so aroused by a pop
ular movement as they were on this oc-
cason. The we'll known and capable
doctor of medicine, Kenniebrew was
master of ceremonies. To say that he
was equal to the occasion would only
be to put it mildly.
The representatives of the A. F. & M.
Lodge behaved themselves nicely, and
acquitted themselves credtably. Sew
eral white masons could be seen
sprinkled in the crowd watching the
colored masons perform their work.
All was joy and pleasure from start to
finish. During the afternoon while the
exercises were in progress, hundreds
came and went their way.
Promptly at 8 p. m. the officers of
the church, together with the pastor,
Rev. H. H. Dewitt, and DR.. Ernest
Hall, formed line of march into the
church, which was already filled to
overflowing, and the keys of the church
were presented by Deacon Blue to
Trustee Young, which marked the
formal opening of the new house of
worship.
Then the choir sang one of it's beau
tiful selections to the pleasure of all
who heard it, In words of burning zeal
and fervent love the master of ceremo-
nies introduced DR.. Dewitt who spoke
to his number on the program in words
very appropriate to the occasion.
Following this the master of cere-
monies paid a tribute to the worth
and influence of DIR. Ernest Hall that
is seldom heard from the lips of man.
The massive audience sat in rapture
while he advanced from one step to
another in his presentation of the ''able
divine" Then after listening to the
choir render another classical selection,
DIR. Ernest Hall, of Bloomington, arose
and responded in brief to the eulogy
given him both by the master of cere-
monies and pastor of the church, after
which he delivered a dedicatOry SER
mon that will live as long as Jackson
vile lives. DR.. Hall left the old beaten
path of platitudes and batteries, and
spoke from the heart to the heart.
There was not word of bitterness
nor a word of censure in all that he
said; but words of love and encourage
ment to all. If the advice which this
divine gave to the people Of Jackson
vile is followed, certain it is that they
will reach the pinnacle of success.
The church building which the mem
bers of the Second Baptist church have
erected, is credit to them in every
sense of the word. And we wish to
say for the church that they have one
of the best choirs in the state, regard
less of creed or color. And we predict
for the Second Baptist church, under
the leadership of DR.. Dewitt, great
and useful future. We shall expect
much of them because of the class of
people who make up the new organiza-
ton. All of the churches of Jackson
Vile are blessed with persons of eX-
cellent ability, and if they would but
unite in any effort for any good cause,
they would move the world.

100 Million Dollars
Worth Of Shoes

These are stupendous figures yet this is the yearly
amount that the South spends for shoes. AS curiosity
these figures NAV attract you for minute but the most
curious thing about them is that three quarters OF this
money is regularly sent away from the South and the
South is that much poorer for it:
You trade at Southern shoe store. You give the
dealer your money You probably buy western or
northern made SHOE When the dealer pays his b this
money! less small per cent to the dealer goes north or
west and the South is that much poorer.
Keep your money at home. Let it work for better
times, better wages, more factories, work for
Southern people.
Ask your dealer for The Craddock Shoe. Made in
the South by white labor, for Southern gentlemen. The
best shoe value offered by any maker in the land for
$3.50 and $4OO Money spent for Craddock Shoes stays
in the South and pays Southern labor Southern grocers
bakers and butchers.
It builds Southern factories homes and schools.
We can support more and better industries. Let's
