Many of them confessed today they
were bewildered, inasmuch as they had
determined TO retain the literacy test
in their draft for the measure as it
passes the house, under the impression
that the president would accept the
bin If it passed the senate, An inter.
esting session Of the committe is looked
for tomorrow The committee two
weeks ago directed Senator Smith, Of
South Carolina, the chairman, to con.
suit with the president on immigration
legislation.
Il was said TINT the members espe-
cially desired TO learn whether the

literacy provision Of the Burnett bill
Some Of the senators were inclined Ia
the belief IL would be waste Of time
to take up consideration Of immigra-

ment, City eHalth Officer Miles and n
wide circle of friends experienced a
disappointment yesterday when James

Monday in a very mysterious manner.
He said he was bound north to meet
a lady.love and there is where he went

that he was going to become n benedict
IN short order.
Many pretty thihgs in the way Of
greetings were being framed up by the
members Of the fire department upon
Mr. Hartwell's arrival home and DR..
Miles, the city health officer, was in
dustriously planning to give the sup
posed bride and groom banquet. How.
ever, when Hartwell stepped off the
train here yesterday with the lady in
question and introduced her to his ad.
miring friends, panic ensucd. The
"boys" looked foolish and demanded
to know why Hartwell's fair compan.
ion was not introduced as Mrs. instead
Of Miss Ruth A. Hartwell
IL developed later that the deputy
health officer had gone to meet his
sister who arrived in Vancouver last
Monday and who Is now in the city
with the intention Of remaining here.
Miss Hartwell left the Hartwell home
in Lowell, Mass, last week, boarding
through train for Oregon at Boston
last Wednesday and travelling as Far
az Vancouver without changing ears,

Dusky Moses Has 24OO Blacks Ready
For Trip to African Gold Coast
On Special Steamer.
PAINTS WONDERFUL PICTURE
OF CONDITIONS IN LAND
Cheese Grows On Trees and Butter On
Bushes and There arc Other
Wonderful Inducements.
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE

Chicago, Feb. 1S.--Chief Sam of the
tribe of Akin, which numbers its many
thousands on the storied gold coast
of West Africa, recently led a band of
his chosen through Chicago, bound for
the land of boba, or cheese tree, the
karita or butter bush, and the mata
or flour vine. All these things, accord.
ing to Chief Sam, grow in the land OF
the tribe of Akin, and thither he is
heading his people to pluck cheese and
flour and what time they are not wash
ing gold from chuncks of West Africa.
Chief Sam, who modestly denied that
in his native land he carried a spear
and wore a woven vine suit, came in
with his followers from Mantee, Ok,
on the Rock Island Road.
From there he has been spreading
his gospel, which boiled down, means
the shipment of all negroes back to
Africa. Incidentally, the trading com.
pany, of which he is president, offers
"the only ship owned by blacks" to
carry them to the land of promise at
so much head. Stock is also offered
in the steamship company.
A reporter met the special car as it
steamed into the city. On it were
found Chief Sam, surrounded by a
band of twenty-four men and women
Sombreros marked them chiefly from
any other group of negroes.
Chief Sam was found to be unmis-
takably black A mustache curled
about his upper lip. He wore yellow
ish shirt and an overcoat in harmony
The overcoat was creased in long, per.
pendicular wrinkles. A brown fedora
hat, set at a twist on his head, and a
pair of rubbers were other features Of
his chieftan s garb.
"We are going back to the land of
plenty" said the chief. "I am TAX
ing these good men and women back
to the land where they came from-On
the gold coast of Africa, 1t is a rich
country"
He was asked Of the purpose-the
backing "--of the excursion.
81 got word from the black men in
the United States" he said "They
wanted to return. took their word
to chiefs of other tribes. We Of the
tribe of Akim-and there are many
thousands of the tribe-decided to buy
boat and bring them over, The boat
is waiting in New York for us now. /
expect to tax 1900 back with me this
trip and come back in six weeks for
1900 more.
"The negroes are more Of problem
than the white folks think in this coun-
try. They all ought to back in Africa.
Farms are waiting for them there, aud
gold They are welcome there and will
receive every aid."
Followed then the description of the
Karita, the boba and the nata, as well
as the ever.ready quantities of gold.
And Chief Sans followers just clus.
tered about him and listened.

OF knowing that they defeated the

side of the question.
The boys We're shown every cour-

ing to Christian Endeavor friends in
Florida We are apt to grow weary

but now is the time to lay our plans
for oppressive work next winter.
A hundred Christian Endeavor So
cieties in Florida is not too large a
mark to set for this coming season.
1t calls fir the true missinary spirit
to be extended toward neighboring
churches and communities now with
out this c. E. blessing.
In the churches OF my own denom-
nation, for which by call and re-
sponsibility | have especial oppor-
tunity, | am setting the goal of one
or more Christian Endeavr societies
in every church. A year may be too
short time to accomplish it all.
But if there is Congregational
church near you that has no C. E.
society I ask you to make that your
special field. Besides this, | stand
ready to help in any way l can to
broaden and strengthen Florida

that we all may be one" in Him.

IN SOCIETY zTY


our conduct against the safe guard
ing rule of common sense, put our
selves in touch with the healing
hands of the out-of- doors, get ac-
quainted with the hills and the skies
of sun and stars, and hope for an
autumn that shall usher in the best
year of our lives, putting us on an
upward slope where there is the zest
of struggle and accomplishment
and a hilltop worth taking. With
many of you whether school keeps
or not is immaterial; you won't go
if it does. But many others are
looking forward to taking up the
heavy-and sometimes dull-books
of life each day, turning to where
the taskmaster bent down the page
the weary night before, and trying
to kee the lessons learned. You
have been doing this year after year
until you have forgotten that every
life should have its play-day-must
have it or be fined. Since the first
child came you have been on duty
loyal, patient, true; you imagine
that things will get all awry if you
cease your captains work even for
day. They may, and probably
will; but let them. You, mother,
get your day of rest here in the mid
die journey, that the whole journey
may be longer; somehow we feel
that we shall need your counsel later
more than we need your labor now.
Both we fear we cannot have. Ma
chimes, even human ones, will wear
out.
Play.
AT least, rest.
