This house was built for an exNIayor of Kansas City. 1t has
9 large, light and airy rooms, large attic suitable for pool room or
gymnasium, full cemented basement, combination furnace, lot 50x150.
east front, street and alley paved, large barn suitable for garage.
Several prominent Negroes have bought in this block, so the
owner has decided to sell and in order to make a quick sale has
reduced the price from $4,000 to $4,000, $500 down and 500 monthly.
An ordinary family could live in four of the rooms and the other five
could be rented for enough to make the payments and interest.
Surely opportunity is knocking at your door Will you continue
to pay rent II will you buy? If this is too large, we have several
others.

The Same Thing.

Secretary Garrison, apropos OF his
bill for creating six vice-admirals, said
at luncheon in Washington:
This bill will make things better
from a diplomatic standpoint, though
the actual working of the navy will
remain the same. Yes, the navy itself
will be like Brown.
Brown, idle through slack times,
started to tramp to Buffalo by way OF
the Erie canal to look for job.
HE met on his way a good many
canal boats coming up and down, and
finally stopping a canal boat captain,
