THE motion picture is restoring this

The picture is exhibited hundreds OF

Frank Loomls manager Of the VitaEraph

forcible ownership Of the dog for debt,
without realizing he was loading himself
with a white elephant. The day on which
the dog became Bobs property he
chained him under the stage Of the Vita

Bernard was not suspected until the or
ganist began playing the overture, when
there was n succession of mighty howls
that startled even the passersby on
Broadway. BY the time Mr.. Loomis
started an investigation both Bob and
the dog had disappeared and were not
seen again until later In the afternoon,
when word came to the theatre manager
there was a colored gentleman wanted to
see him. IL was Bob and his dog stand

ten by Melissa Fuel, B. S. D., an edu-
Gator, a reader and a former vocalist
with the Blind Boone Concert Com.
pany.
In the world of music Blind Boone
stands in class to himself He is
recognized by both black and white
to be the most wonderful musical
prodigy man has ever known.
The history of Blind Boone is as an
open book to the masses who feel
that they know him, see him and as
sociate with him, but it is not for the
present the author writes. She wants
to perpetuate the memory of this
great man. she wants to hold him
up as an example to the youth and
to future generations to show them
how to rise, in spite Of obstacles and
adverse circumstances.
The brief history of his manager
John Lange, which is included in the
book will be an inspiration to those
who are starting in business with
practically nothing and trying to rise
to the top round.
This book differs from the ordinary
history in that it does not relate sim
ply cold, stubborn facts but clothes
the true life of the subject into the
form of beautiful story, simple and
| interesting to all who will read it,

recognition not so much because they
desired the privilege of mixing with
White Masons but because they
chafed under the charge made by
White Masons that the work among
our people was clandestine and il
legal, a charge based wholly upon
race prejudice and never upon any
degree of fairness or reason. Sew
eral White grand lodges of which
Ohio was one were inclined to deal
fairly with the Colored brethren in
this contention but the contest has
been almost abandoned in these later
days as being futile and not worth the
while
1t seems that Grand Master Clark
had intimated a desire to retire from
the East at this session but a large
number of his friends brought for
ward what they called a Petition for
denomination which was approved
by the body, after which Brother
Clark blushingly acknowledged the
high compliment and said he would
hold on a while longer.
II WAS at InlS session Inat the MIS-
souri, brethren finally decided to cut
| loose from the National Grand Lodge,
the matter having been submitted and
approved by the various subordinate
lodges.
Since that time we have been
strongly "anti-compact" and no Sc
rious results have followed the dec
laration of independence.
There was a warm rivalry between
st. Joseph and st. Louis for the next
meeting, the latter winning after
promising to entertain the grand Off
GERS free of charge. At the annual
election but little change was made
in the roster except that Columbia
was honored by the election of Broth
er John Lange, jr., as Junior Grand
| Warden.
The report of Brother Willis n.
Brent, c. c. F. c., was most scholarly
and elaborate. He reviewed twenty
six grand lodges, eleven of them be-
ing White.
