In their Thanksgiving jubilation the men,
bers Of the First A. NJ E. Church succeeded
in raising money enough to pay for the
fuel which the church will consume the en-
suing winter they did the same year ago
and it is therefore becoming habit of
theirs. Owing to this pre-arranged program

possible to join in a union Thanksgiving
service with the Grace Presbyterian and
the Mt. Zion Baptist Churches A better
day could not be selected for money raising
than Thanksgiving day, but it looks very
much like taking advantage of the patriotic
spirit Of brotherly love to gain selfish ends,
but all we'll that ends we'll and so promote

Association for the Advancement Of Colored
People last Tuesday evening, who thought

large and important looking gentleman, -
and then he hesitated and stammered for
want Of something apologize to say, but
the insignificant homely little editorial
shrimp turned the subject and showed his
appreciation for having been looked up, even
though it was disappointment to the man
doing the looking up. It is pleasure, at

Once when the editor hereof was publish
ing The Seattle Republican, a statewide
political organ he was attending a state
Republican Convention and the late Gov
ernor S. G. Cosgrove, who was a delegate
to every Republican state convention and
always present, introduced us to a we'll
known Bunch Grass politician who had been
a regular subscriber to The Seattle Repub-

ing the personel Of the editor The poll
tician hesitated, stammered and then stood
for second speechless, but finally over
came his embarrassment and said: 81 am
delighted to meet YOU. About Sam Co.'S

always bevy Of politicians and that oc-
casion was no exception to the rule, and all
