days that to find man possessing
them both, in a high degree, is some
thing wonderful. To go to the aid of
a beautiful woman in distress might
smack of these virtues, when selfish
ness really is the prompting motive.
The true test is where these virtues
are exhibited unprompted by selfish
motives.
There was just such case in Wash
ington, D. c., few days ago, in which
Representative Kendall of Iowa was
the hero. ,
When Mr.. Kendall alighted from a
street car at busy corner, he saw
two white men addressing profane Ian
guage to an old Afro-American woman,
who was carrying basket of freshly
Numbered clothes. Presently one of
the men struck the woman, telling her.
The contents of her basket were scat
tered in the snow and slush
Mr.. Kendall landed his fist squarely
on the jaw of the assailant and laid
the man motionless in the snow. Then
he assisted the unfortunate woman in
restoring the clothes to the basket.
Had the woman in question been

Wedding receptions, even those

ceremony, and before-as the saying
goes-the matched mariners on the
matrimonial sea have had a chance
to get their feet wet" are usually
more or less pleasant affairs The
voyagers have high hopes, and so
have their friends, that they will be
able to steer clear of the rocks and
shoals and wrecks that are constant
menace to smooth, safe sailing. Then
everybody, even though a little dubi-
Gus, perhaps, wishes them bon voyage.
Everybody is in good humor and
everybody tries to see that everybody
else is happy, and they assume an air
OF Joyousness even though they feel it
not. =.
But when a couple have buffeted the
waves for a quarter of a century in
all sorts of weather, have steered
clear of matrimonial squalls, affinlties,
divorce courts etc., etc., and are lying
at anchor in the snug home harbor
disturbed only by the daily rise and
fall of the tide, certainly it is a proper
time for all to feel good all through

Such an occasion was that of the
celebration Of the 25th anniversary or
"Silver Wedding" reception of Sergt.
and Mrs. Zachariah A. Pope at their
cosy residence, ZIG w 31st street,
Minneapolis, Friday evening, Jan. 49,
The several rooms of the house were
appropriately decorated by Mrs. Frank
Boyd OF st. Paul, with evergreens
smllax, carnations, etc., and had very
pleasing appearance.
Mrs. Pope nee Mary E. Young, is
native of Minneapolis, and has seen
the Twin City grow from a small viii
lage to its present vast proportions;
and, of course, knows and is known,
by almost every one worth knowing in
the city. She is communicate of St.
Thomas Episcopal church and has
been an earnest worker, not only in
the church, but in all lines looking
toward the betterment of humanity.
She is the happy possessor of cheer
full and amiable disposition for which
she is generally admired by all who
know her.
Sergt. Pope received his title in the

United States army, which he joined
at the age of sixteen years, and re-
tired a few years ago, after an honor
able service of 80 years. He was a
member of the famous 25th infantry,
which was for years stationed at Fort
Smelling, and has the distinction OF
being a charter member of Mars
lodge No. 2202; and, in fact, was the
first man initiated in the lodge, which
was organized at Fort Smelling.
Like his better half he is noted for
his genial, warm hearted disposition
and is respected by all who know him
for his honesty and integrity. Though
retired from service he is still at the
Fort employed as steward of the of.
ficers' club-who wouldn't be without
him. He is generous and public spir.
tied and you may always count on
Sergt. Pope when any effort is being
made of a patriotic or progressive
nature. Hence it is not surprising
that upward of three hundred guests

their respects.

white, there would not have been any
thing extraordinary in Representative
KendalPs action, but as she was old,
black and poor, he certainly must be
every inch a man. We have not the
honor of personal acquaintance with
the honorable gentleman, but if we
were in reaching distance we would
take chances and shake his hand.
Iowa may we'll be proud of having
such a man to represent her in Con-
gress, and we would to God that there
were more like him everywhere.
Not being a resident of his district,
we cannot vote for him, but should he
ever be candidate for president of
the United States, he will get my vote
and the votes of all the Afro-Ameri-
can voters.
Again we say, Three Cheers for Rep
resentative Kendall!

The New York board of health has
declared that three drinks per day is
the limit to keep healthy.
The report from the board goes
farther and explains:
"Heart disease and cirrhosis of the
liver are often associated with the
excessive use of stinulants. 1t is
hard to establish any standard for
what is excess, as there is a marked
difference in individuals. Many ply
sicians believe that man is better off
without spirits. Anything above three
ounces of alcohol a day, which is
equivalent to about six of whisky, or
three drinks, is excessive"
All right, them Well confine our
self to only three drinks per day.

when one thinks Of the fact that even
at the present time only about one
eight of the population of the world
is white. But now comes a Theoso-
phist, D. S. NJ. Unger of Chicago, who
declares he knows for a fact that
Christ is coming back to earth within
the next twenty years. Says Mr..
Unger: whenever a nation or the
world really needs a great leader, he
turns up. The world is sadly in need
of a great religious leader these days
and so l know Christ is coming back
within the next twenty years. And,
in order that humanity may have no
trouble in being certain of the pres
ence of Christ, he will have brown
body"
Well, if Christ returns to this earth
brown in color, there are people in
the United States who will not accept
him.

MISSIONARIES MUCH EXERCISED.
Some Of the alleged Christian mis-
sionaries in the Far East are very
much exercised over reports of the
recent entertainment of Admiral Togo,
in this country, and have protested
against lavish entertainment of orr
entail dignitaries, and particularly
against entertainment on Sundays.
The ground for the protest is that
1--WE are a nominally Christian ma
ton and distinguished guests from the
Far East have difficulty in reconcil-
ing our liberal uses of Sunday, with
the teachings of Christian mission
aries in the Orient
That's all a lot of buncombe. The
missionaries, many OF whom have
gone to the Orient to teach "jim crow
religion to the natives do not wish to
have prominent men of the various
colored races treated with considera-
ton, because it puts wrong ideas
into their minds" and makes them
think they are as good as white peo-
pie. The best way to convince the
colored peoples of the world of the
sincerity of the missionaries, and OF
the people of this country, who furnish
the money to support the mission
aries, is to abolish the color line,
right here at home and give the
Afro-American a square deal in every
thing and not attempt to convert him
in Tim crow" institutions. Cauca-
sian American Christianity is all right
until it reaches the color line and
then it is all wrong.

gloats over the fact that there is
color line in South Africa. For many
years, the Tribune has exerted it's in

Chicago, and a recent editorial shows
that it is very happy in having discov-
cred in Africa a precedent for sepa-
