HOLDING UP PRECIOUS LETTER
African Blacks Fail to Realize What
Missive Means to the Exiled,
Homesick White Man.

1t is pioneer custom in Africa, east
and west, that the white mans local
letter is franked from town to town.
The black man to whom the white
man gives his letter carries it to the
headman of the next settlement, who
carries it in turn to his brother head
man down the trail; and so from hand
to hand by day and by night with
a glance from any passing white man,
the letter goes forward. Such a let

from Lessings celebrated drama,

After Sultan SaIadin occupied Jeru-
salem, he heard of "a rich man who was
much beloved in the city. He was a
Jew. and all men called him Nathan

ago that it is gray, there lived a man in
the East who owned ring of priceless
worth. The stone was opal. playing in
a hundred lovely tints; and the jewel
had the secret power of making its
wearer beloved of God and men.
'When the owners last day arrived,
he gave the sacred ring to his best be-
loved son and decreed that thus it
should be handed down through the
generationS-alwayS to the best be-
loved, who was to be the ruler of the
house.

who had three sons. He loved them so
well that his heart could not distin-
guiSh between them. Each was as
dear as the other. 1t was impossible
for him to select one as the best be-
loved. AT last he sent for gold
smith and commanded him to make
two other rings exactly like the orig
inal. The goldsmith succeeded. When
the father held the three rings In his
hand, he himself could not decide
which was genuine.

race was run. Then he called each

answered Nathan. Hardly had the
father passed, before each son pre-

pondered, they disputed. 1t was in

Ferguson's Secretary Says
He Knows Nothing of
Mysterious $156,000 Loan

Austin. Tex, September 15.-J. H.
Davis, Jr., assistant private secretary to
Gov. James E. Ferguson, testified Friday
during his cross-examinat ton before the
Senate court Of impeachment that he did
did not know who brought $156, 900 In cur
rency loans to the governor during the
early months of the present year. This
was money the governor applied to his
Indebtedness.
The governor at the hearing before the
house refused to tell where this money
came from, other than to say friends fur
nished it.
Davis said he saw only $4,000 of the
currency. Early in April the governor
gave him $4,000 to deposit in the Ameri-
can National bank of Austin, and later
he gave him $4,000 to be disposed of sim
ilarly, he said.
Over the objection of counsel for the
house managers the defense succeeded
in introducing a letter of January l, 1915,
date, written by Davis to the Temple
State bank. 1t enclosed a draft for
$5,081.11 on the National Reserve bank of
Kansas City, to be made the initial de-
post of Canyon City Normal insurance

ernors official account.
