Mariana, Ark.-Our people are get

source of pleasure to have been in

But then from that point to several
others, and then to Mississippi and
then on to Texas. made flying trip
to Waco, Texas, spending a few hours
with Grand Chancellor w. S. Willis of
the knights of Pythias. He is getting
right down to the work of his jurisdic-
ton, and I am of the opinion that he
is going to render great service to his
race, and to the order. He is qualified
for the work, and think he is going
to render the service for which he has
prepared himself, and to which he has
been elected.
Then on to Texarkana, where 1 had
the pleasure of meeting some of those
great people there. While in town 1
was the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
Matthes, whose daughter is in the Pro-
vident Hospital taking nurse training
and who will some day take her place
among the women of thought and of
worth. 1 was delighted to have seen
them.
1 had the pleasure of meeting Mrs.
Carrie A. Mallard, who is a trained
nurse, and who is making things hum
in her city. She took the time to pre-
pare herself, and is now doing the real
active, practical service to humanity.
