The patrons of Attucks School were
given fine treat last Friday after
noon from 300 to 400 P. NJ. in the
! way of an exhibit of some of the work
done by their children during the past
year. The whole school was thrown
open for inspection from cellar to gar
ret and the handiwork of the pupils
was so displayed that close examina-
tion could be made. The shop was
appropriately decorated with wood
work of every description; five joints;
smooth finishes, and stains of every
color The work reflected a practical
turn there being several tables for
reading and a music cabinet. All of
the articles shown indicated consider
able talent. In the South end of the
Shop was Shoemaker's bench equip
ped with complete line of tools of
good quality, selected by Principal G..
A. Page with the consent of the Board
Of Education. There is only one other
School in the City with a Shoemaking
equipment. There have been nearly
fifty pairs of shoes half soled and "a
many heels built up. Some of this
work was on display and received high
commendation from the visitors. In
the kitchen was canned fruit and so
forth and on the black board an ideal
menu for good wholesome but mex
pensive dinner. The sewing room pre-
sented a sight never to be forgotten
twenty-five dresses made all complete
by girls Of graduating class. All sorts
or lingerie aprons and embroidery
helped to make up one of the very best
displays ever seen in an elementary
school. Each room decorated with ap-
propriate work and colors. Ice cream
and cake were served. A magnificent
likeness Of Crispus Attucks was un-
yelled. Probation officer Ross spoke
to the Patrons. The guests seemed to
be amazed at the excellent garden op-
Grated by the school. At 4:30 Mr.. and
Mrs. Curry, patrons of the school in
Yited the teachers down into the kitch-
en- where good old country ice cream
had been frozen and a giant cake all
sliced; the way those Attucks teachers
showed their appreciation was a eau

about chicken fry in latter part of
June. Hon. N. C. Crews, though abb
sent from the City, being invited to
speak sent a splendid letter of congrat-
uiation to Principal Page from st.

TWO RousINe MEETINGS.
NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE ENTER
TAlNS.
Large Audiences in King olommon
and the 9th Street Baptist
Tabernacle.
MAGNIFICENT ADDRESSES.
Kansas city Kansas in Line.

The Negro Business League is slow
ly but surely with bread winning and
sedate advice uniting our people for
their Industrial, commercial, econom
ic, professional, civic and moral de
velopment. Thought backed by sound
reason elequently delivered with ma
tured judgement used in sounding the
keynote of what appears to be the
universal aim of mankine of this day
and age. Love, union, cooperation
and consequent success" Each fellow
beginning at home with faith and
works. The Afro-American is coming.
Like a burdened beast, up from the
lowest swamps and confronted by nat
ural and unnatural forces of resist
ance. Each day lessons his burden,
each day increases his strength, each
day brings him closer to the crest of
the hill of prosperity, honor and re-
nown. While the evil among us is
magnified, most of our good deeds un-
noticed or depreciated: yet the cold
fact remains undeniable that the black
horse is surely coming; coming with
inexhaustible strength, irrestible pow
er and unchecked ardor.
President F. j. Weaver assisted by
]. A. Wilson and G. A. Franklin re-
ceived warm reception at King Solo
mon Baptist Church. The Secretary
was told that the meeting was highly
appreciated. DR.. J. E. Dibble assisted
.by Hon. E. A. Shackleford and Hon.
c. H. Galloway held one of the best
meetings of the entire Campaign. Off
GERS of the Church followed the Secre-
tary out of Church begging us to re-
turn the first Sunday in June. DR.. ID.
B. Jackson and his people deserve the
praise for the beautiful edifice which
they have erected. Their Church was
built entirely by Blacke; is odd and is
in this respect and others unique and
second to none in Kansas City, Kan
sas. This fact seemed to inspire the
speakers, and they surely did speak.
Elouuence, facts, wit and persuasion
swayed the people to love and union
for which the Master prayed: "That
they may be one as we are" United
we stand and divided we fall"
Hon. G. H. Galloway whose works
are speaking and whose words were
supported by works was called the
brownskin legal prince" Hon. e. A.
shackleford upheld Kansas SO well
that he is called 'the legal sunfiower
arrayed in glory"
Next Sunday President F. j. Weav-
er assisted by Hon. Dorsey Green,
Mrs. G. L. Prince and DR.. j. Franklin
Wilson will be at the Metropolitan
Baptist Church. DR.. J. e. Dibble as
sisted by DR.. Lee R. Petty, Judge l..
F. Bradley, Hon. L. w. Johnson, and
c. A. Franklin will be at Mt. Pleasant
Baptist Church and the Church of liv-
ing God, 397 Oakland Avenue, Kansas
City, Kansas. Let each member turn
out.
Keep the good work up Make good.
God Almighty hates a gutter Stick,
Two. more weeks and the battle is ov-
er. When our people are united,
when Negro enterprises flourish,
when our sons and daughters have an
open door of opportunity, we shall
thank God for being allowed to labor
for such a noble cause.
Yours for Negro Enterprise,

GRAFTON ON THE UNKNOWN
DEAD.
Crispus Attucks, Hero Of the Ameri.
can Revolution.
BY Charles A. Stark.

By Charles A. Starks.
Fellow Countrymen: We consider
it a glorious privilege to live in an
age so fruitful of the solid things that
go to promote civilization and thus
insure mankind of a reasonable hap
piness which is theirs by divine right.
And so in looking back we do not
| sigh for what was, but for what could
have been. Still to go back over some
of the old times and scenes, though
painful, has soothing effect in their
study, and we remember that out of
these pioneer events came the possi-
bility of our own age which is reach
ing its mighty eminence. What re-
calls so vividly the old past to us is
that today is dedicated to the men,
CRY of the Nations dead. The very
thought is teeming with emotions too
deep for words, and defies studied ex-
preston. We can only look-realize
but helpless to express.
Still in our larger understanding of
life we know that Truth can not die
, and that every good and brave act is
immortal, partaking, as it does of the
realness of eternity, therefore it is
fitting that we look back with our
minds and view some of the brave
and good acts our forefathers per
formed for us that we, their children,
and their posterity might enjoy the
great blessings of liberty. Yet, when
1 recall that able histories have re-
tiected these acts; that lofty poets
have immortalized them in song: and
that the deep souled orator has weav-
ed his golden wreath around each
hero known to the world, then l say
to you, yet me dwell on the Great
Unknown Dead"
The dead live to us not merely
through memory but through the con-
sciousness of undying spirit. We
think of this when placing the floral
wreath upon the grave of the known,
but in doing so let us remember that
there are numberless heroes un-
crowned with distinctive glory who
sleep in unmarked graves and cannot
be singled out on this account, yet
they were deserving!
Then to the unknown dead, who
died at the stern post of duty we re-
member you with love and gratitude.
Ye who fought for the crown of lib
erty; whose patriotism was rich and
glorious; who gave up this mortal
existence rather than see Gods king
dom mocked with tyranny, we con-
secrate our thoughts this hour re-
membering what we owe to God and
thee. Lastly, one of the bravest men
in this venerable field of the unknown
whose immortal act preserves itself
unto us was child of Ethiopia and:
Lo! Noble Attucks, how doth thy
memory rise,
This day the Revolution regrets the
eyes;
We remember thee when thy loyal
spirit fled,
And say, Thou art first of the brayest
dead
Second, thy spirit rekindled in the
Civil War,
Led your race to glory and spread
it's fame afar,
And when it's bright arms conquered
Spain,
The Ninth and Tenth Cavalry knew
thy spirit again.

GEO. w. cHlVIS DEAD.

On last Saturday George Chi
Wis, who is known throughout
the country as the publisher OF
the Railroad Porters' Magazine,
died in the city of Oakland
after long illness. While
Chivis was not considered a le-
climate newspaper man, he
was known for his genius in
procuring Advertisements for his
journal, and it is said that he
made more money as an ad So
llcitor than any man of the race
who was ever in the business.
He leaves wife, sister, other
relatives and friends to mourn
his loss.-Los Angeles Eagle.
Geo. Chivis was a Missourian by
birth and was perhaps one of the best
known Colored men in America. He
always entertained on a lavish scale
and dressed like a Chesterfield all the
time. He knew every public man in
America personally and it was easier
for him to get 800 than for the aver
age Negro to get so ccents. Peace
to his ashes.

only score of the game featured by

superb pitching of Baker and Wash

In the tenth they threatened to score

B. N. TEAM
LOSES BY ONE SCORE
TURNER'S BOYS COME BACK
STRONG WITH GOOD EXHI.
BITION WITH WESTON.

Turner's team came back yesterday,
came back strong from the drubbins
of week ago, and though their
strength was not quite sufficient to
net victory. it was quite enough to
make rattling good contest with the
Weston Mountaineers The gamer
played at Roundup Park before 200
thusiastic fans, resulted in a 5-4 score
with the visitors on the long end but
that one run margin did not come un-
til the ninth frame.
Though errors were not infrequent,
there was good baseball sprinkled
throughout the game and what is to
the spectators liking, the element
was combative contest was very pres
ent. Both teams fought hard for the
winning run after the third inning had
seen the game tied up four to four.
Manager Turner had some new faces
in his lineup and they looked good to
the fans. Particularly was the show
ing of Williams, the new twirler, graf
flying. He has plenty of stuff on the
ball as his record of thirteen strike
outs will testify, and Turner believes
he will prove the leading twirler Of
the league before the season ends.
The game started off with a bang
BY clicking off couple of safe ones
and taking advantage of little loose
playing by the Pendleton fielders.
Weston chalked up a brace of scores
in the initial frame. Pendleton, how
ever came right back. Schick was a
little wild with his offerings and his
free offerings, together with a duo
of hits sent three runners across the
plate. Pendleton made it 4-2 in the
second by working another runner
around the bags. In the third and
fourth Pendleton again became wob-
bly, in the field, allowing Weston to
tie up the score. After this both
pitchers frightened and were given
good support with the result that four
innings passed by with the run COL
umns showing blank. In the first of
the ninth, however, Williams weak
ened under the strain and three con-
secutive safe hits put over the win
ming score. Pendleton tried hard in
her half to even matters up but failed
