IF CHRISTMAS
is WEDNESDAY
Old Soothsayer Had 1t All Doped Out,
but Part Of the Saying Is Far
From Being Verified
This Year.

In an old book in his meteorologi-
cal library, Observer Fred Gosewisch
Of the Keokuk weather bureau sta
ton, found the following written by
a soothsayer of the ancient time
a bout what will happen when Christ.
mas comes on Wednesday, as it does
this year:
II Christmas day, the truth to say,
Fall upon a Wednesday,
There shall be winter hard and
strong,
With many hideous winds among.
The summer merry and good shall
be,
And that year wheat in great plenty;
Young folks shall die that year also
And ships at sea shall have great
woe.
Whatever child that day born is
He shall be doughty and gay, 1 wis,
And wise and crafty also of deed,
And fnd many in clothes and bread.

DO Not Know II is in Town,
It Has Been Very e.
AcIent Philanthropy.

The Young women Cuils lihl III
dustrial Mission is located at 21-23
North Fourth street, in the Diver
building. The dedication service of
this mission was held the second
sunday of last June.
The mission is not alone for local
benefit, but supports a bureau Of In
formation of statewide scope, in
efforts to assist strange women and
girls of the colored race. These are
alone. before coming to the state, to
get in touch with the best social
group among their own people in
each town, and the mission helps as
far as possible in getting them work.
AS d local benefit in Keokuk' an
onen door mission with q free read
ing room and place Of christian rec
reation is being afforded the colored
neople with q Bible training school
with night classes in other subjects.
The industry Of sewing, cooking and
perhaps hand laundry, is considered
In the plan of the management for
the missions program as is also a
day nursery.
The secretary's report last month,
giving a summary of the work done
BY the mission in It's first six months
Of existence shows the following
special items:
One unfortunate young woman, who
had been directed to the superinten-
dent of the mission by her pastor
In another town, and. afterward put
under her temporary supervision by
the mayor, was befriended to the ex-
tent that she was allowed to go to
work In a family in the city and
kept from being returned to the
house of detention.
While this is the hrst open door
mission ever conducted by colored
management in Keokuk, its useful
ness is not being confined to assist
ing colored people alone. In Septem-
Der strange white woman and her
little girl who were befriended by
the mission as was soldiers wife
from Peoria, who became in destitute
circumstances by the delay Of her
government allotment. During the
period of technicalities that so inten-
sified her needs by the delay, she
was permitted to occupy rooms at
the mission ten days over the time
she was able to pay for and furnished
with several other favors for the
comfort of herself and child.
Through the appeals of the mission
clothing has been supplied for four
teen needy children and some adults.
The books at present show applica-
lions from both white and colored
people for winter clothing.
A few families have been assisted
to find domestic help through the
mission.
A ten days evangelistic meeting
and one months vacation Bible
school for children were interesting
features of the missions summer
work
The work has thus far been sup
ported by the money received from
The lectures OF the superintendent
and the donations she has received
from friends.
Miss Sidney J. Davis is superin-
tendent of the mission; Mrs. e. K.
ALBERT is secretary of the executive
board, and Mrs. Sarah A. Penix Is
