A New Way to Get Money

From the Popular Magazine.
There are many ways to get money from
people, and in these days when it is often
necessary to raise various sums for mis-
sionary and other church work the min
listers of the gospel make all sorts of
moving appeals. But the preacher who
takes the prize in this line of endeavor
so far is an old colored man down south.
I'VE has a collection to take up dis
mawnin.'' he said, "a collection for a
mos important cause. an we needs as
much money as we kin git. But foh de
sake of your regulations, whichever of
you stole Mr.. Jones' turkeys don't put
nothin in de plate"
That was how he got money out of
every member of his congregation.

Help for Red Schoolhouses!

From the Chicago Post.
The little red schoolhouse is in danger
again. Voters rose to it's defense in the
early 3Os and the bush orator with
a hand inside the front of his shiny
Prince Albert referred to it generously
as a palladium. Was 1t under fire as an
institution only? No. it was because it
small and red. The defense became
more powerful than the aggression as the
smallness and redness brought up the
complementary picture of rosy checked
youngsters in copper-toed boots snow
balling each other. books slung over
shoulders and the schOolmaam looking
on.
Again did the little red schoolhouse
appeal with the recollection of the spell
ing bees and the visits of the "skule
board. Word went out to the nation.
but it never would have had effect if the
building had been ample and pink.
Now the Chicago Culture Club has de-
cided that some other color than red
should be adopted because red has a.
bad influence on the minds of children"
The club deliberated in the rreenroom
of the Hotel La Sale. which may indi-
cate Il definite choice in color schemes or
may be pure accident.
But let the country speak. The little
red schoolhouse needs new champions
