tell you another big man I met
downtown, Hon s. B. Turner, a lawyer
a member Of the legislature, and then
a real business man. He is busy, too,
believe me, and he knows the law be-
cause he has helped to make it. I have
been knowing this man ever since he
came out to Kansas one time to make
speech which helped to elect James
A Garfield President of the United
States. He is one more speaking man.
W. A. Beadle, lawyer and poet from
Mississippi also crossed my path. have
not told you about Mr.. Beadle for a
long time. He has been a lawyer down
in jackson, Miss, where he made the
people down there know when he spoke
there was a real man speaking. He
stood high down there, but now with
his sweet musical voice, and that poetic
ability he is now taking his place with
the big lawyers right here in Chicago.
His Office is to be at 1902 State street.
OF course, you know that I have
spent another Sunday here in town.
1t was some more snow on the ground,
but got up and went to Berean Bap-
fist church, getting there in time for
Sunday school, and was greeted by
Superintendent C. D. L. Bradshaw. That
fellow is just born church and Sunday
school worker. He has been in Sunday
school all of his life. His mother was
a woman who was not afraid to use the
rod and she used it in the improved
style, making each lick count for some
thing, and now she has nothing to do
but to sit down and enjoy life and her
children are caring for her. She is
proud of those boys and girls now and
they are proud of her. 1 heard the
sermon there Sunday morning, met Mr..
and Mrs. C. H. Davis, and their daugh
tiers.
From that church, in company with
the Matron of Princess Hagar Chapter,
o. E. s., Mrs. E L. Stewart. I went
to the home Of Mrs. Della johnson, on
Lasalle street, spending Smt one hour
there. She is associate matron Of Talma
chapter, and those two women just got
together and talked about chapter bus
mess, and I could only sit up and look
wise. They were to 60 to the twilight
funeral Of Mrs. II. A. Shaw, who died
suddenly on State street last week
Getting away from the women I went
to olivet Baptist church to hear q spe-
cial lecture, and that night I went out
10 st. Mary's A N E. church, which
has found its way up in the galaxy of
Chicago churches
Monday, went to the real funeral
Of Mrs. Shaw, and 1 tell you she just
must have been a great woman. I
learned Of the many good deeds per-
formed by her for the church and for
humanity. She was q woman who just |
vent about doing good without waiting |
10 be praised. She lived well today, |
and now she has gone to her eternal
rest. I will not be able to tell you
Ill I would like to tell you about that
funeral
1 had an invitation from John 81.
Stewart to come down to his house ON
Aberdeen street, and went there, and
shall never forget that day. John Il.
Stewart and Charles Stewart are broth
rs and they were celebrating the s5th
anniversary Of their father. It is
wonderful thing to live IS years in q
world like this. Mr.. Stewart was active
md was delighted to have his sons fix
hings up as they had. They talked
yer the affairs of life, tbs father de-
lighting to tell about how he used to
vork on the sons, and how It had made
