LABOR COMMISSIONER
SHES AT GIFT OFFERS
MR.. DOROTHY WANTS NEITHER
CYCLOPEDIAS NOR BUILDING
LOTS.

Commissioner Of Labor Doherty IS
engaged In solving the problem of
whether or not he presents an
especially needy appearance. or gives
the impression to the casual passer of
being a worthy object Of charity
The reason for these EXAMINATIONS of
the commissioner Is that he has bean
twice accosted in recent days by total
strangers who have manifested an
inordinate desire to wish off on him
certain objects in their possession.
The first offering TO the commits
sioner was in the way of twenty
volumes of an encyclopedia, and the
second was an offer of a piece OF land.
The commissioner decided that he had
all the books he needed, and besides
he felt rather disinclined to furnish
the recommendation the innocent
party desired as the consideration in
return for their delivery.
Consequently when another In
genuous party entered the commits
sioner's Office and stated that Il was
December 25 he himself Santa Claus,
and his present for the commissioner
was a building lot. the aforesaid COM
missioner swiped a side glance at his
calendar, pinched himself under his
desk and informed the expectant
donor that the door was open.
Describing the party later he said:
HE was small built citizen, a
good talker, and had the nerve or

EMMANUEL BAPTISTS TO
SELL THEIR CHURCH

At meeting held Sunday after the
regular services, the congregation OF
Emmanuel Baptist church. voted 70 sell
it's present ed.fice at Fifth and Leigh
streets TO a colorsd Methodist congre-
CATION for 10000. this price not TO
include the church organ. The reason
for the sale Of the building was that
the congregation feels the need OF
larger quarters In another section Of
the city and so was willing 10 sell It's
building to the negroes Fifth and
Leigh is in the segregated negro dis
trict. and a motion Is now before the
proper council committee to allow the
church to sell It's building.
1t is not certain yet just where the
Emmanuel people will go for their new
home. 1t Is thought that negotiations
with be opened with the congregation
Of Calvary Baptist church by which
the building now occupied by them
may be secured. The Calvary church
has bought new lot on the corner OF
Grove avenue and the Boulevard, and
expects to build within a short time
The old home of the Calvary congre-
CATION Is well suited to the needs
of the Emmanuel congregation. and II
is likely that deal will be made be-
tween the two.

day with his men for the witnesses

passes of Gordonsvilie, goes without
his trunk.
He might have had 1t, but he didn't

the other part is in New y ork, which
is the other half Of the globe. And
thereby lies the tale.
Before going away the better half

around the house and put them in the
closet where Captain Jimmie keeps
his steamer trunk, and then locked
the door. She placed the key under
the front door mat, where every one
on earth places the key and where
all the burglars know where to find
keys.
On last Saturday, Captain Jimmie
begins to get ready for the encamp-

the closet wherein he keeps the

He looked under the mat at the
