OLD NEGRO WOMAN LIVED
NINE YEARS IN JUNK PILE
Aunt Katherin Washington of New
Orleans and Boston Has Tin Can
Tourists Beat

New Orleans, April 28.-Declaring
that she had lived for the past nine
years in a cavern in a large pile of
Junk, "Aunt Katherine" Washington,
a negress of uncertain age, set up a
violent disclaimer today when order
ed by the city health authorities to
seek more habitable residence.
According to the health authorities,
the aged negress has been living in a
small cavity created in the junk pile
by the removal of various pieces of
the covered only with small bits of
tin and wood lined with rags and bits
of carpet. When not in use the place
was barricaded with the top of an
old tin wash boiler. Her cooking was
all done over an open fire on the
ground.
Of a, stygian blackness with long
yet .kinky hair streaming about her
wrinkeld face "Aunt Katherine" pre-
sented a remarkable sight to the eyes
of the health officers as she came
.scrambling out of her cave with the
agility of monkey. She wore a skirt
of gunny sacking and mans coat,
adorned with bits of twisted brass
braid, ribbons and the ive-spot of
clubs pinned on with a safety pin as
"protection against the hoodoo."
Born in Boston
She says she is not certain of her
age but remembers being born" in
Boston, brought south by the ''nigger
traders" and belonging to the Sandy
Hamiltons of Lyon county, Mississ-
ippi, and no better white folks ever
put shoes on themselves"
She admits one relative, son
whom she said was somewhere in
the world" describing him as a
"growed up young man, born IN ST.

she was "up to all manner of devil.

stration. Just what our program will
be cannot say until we have met and
formulated one"
Heretofore the "city fathers have
been for the most part aged men.
The mems ticket in the recent cam
paign was dubbed ''the jack-oaks
ticket" due to the fact that all the
candidates were men past 65 years,
it was said. The head Of the ticket,
Col. J. N. Dunsmore, chosen because
of his recognized ability as political
organizer and fighter. Dunsmore was
a state leader of the populist party
thirty years ago. He was the Populist
speaker of house of representatives
during the famous legislative war of
1898 when the "Pops''' attempted to
prevent the Republican faction from
enterng the hall. 1t was during this
fiery session that Dunsmore acquired
the sobriquet, "The Bald Hornet of
Neosho county"
But the women candidates did not
quail before so formidable an oppo-
nent as Dunsmore. At the eleventh
hour Dunsmore announced his with
drawal from the race. All his co-can-
didates however stayed in the race
and were defeated.

GERMAN EFFORT
NOT TO SUCCEED
PROPOSITION OUT OF QUESTION
SAYS BRAND
French Premier Declares His Gov
ernment VIII Not Fall Into
Trap.

Paris, April 28.-"The German
propositions are absolutely unaccept-
able and made under such circum-
stances as to justify us in doubling
Germany's good faith" Premier Brl-
and declared to press correspondents
here this evening. He added: "The
presence of Americans in our councils
would help immensely in the settle
ment of many questions.
"The German government is unable
to rid itself of the reactionary ele-
ment that dominates it's policy. Well,
we are going to help them get rid OF
that element and we are going to do
it in the right manner"
NJ. BRAND spoke of the prospective
occupation of the industrial region OF
Germany as a foregone conclusion
and declared that the operation would
have not only great moral effect up
on Germany, but would give material
results. Referring to the proposals
addressed to Washington, he said:
eff Germany wanted to show good
faith in executing the treaty of Ver-
sailles, she had only to address her
proposals to the repara5ions commit
tee as has been done in other cases.
The fact that she applied to an inter-
mediary is suspicious in itself, all the
more so on account of the fact that
she waited until the eve of the day of
reckoning to apply to the United
States in the hope that the American
government would intervene and that
an interminable discussion would fol-
low, during which French public opln-
ion would be unnerved and German
propaganda would work on foreign
opinion with a view to dividing the
allies and estranging sympathy.
"Well," declared the premier, with
great emphasis, eve will not fall into
that trap"
"One is struck" he went on, "by
the fact that the German studiously
avoid reference to some questions
that are essential to France. We
want,eur friends abroad to know that
there are two problems involved
reparations in which all the allies are
interested and security, which con-
Germs France particularly
Paris, April 28.-Speaking to a
group of senators Stoday, Premier
BRAND pointed out that France must
have personal security and safety OF
her frontiers and that was the reason
France must take other guarantees
than the penalties which have already
been put into effect in agreement
with all the allies.
obviously" he went on, when
occupying the Ruhr we are taking the
chance of being confronted with a
general strike which might affect the
benefits of the occupation. But when
we occupied Dusseldorf and other
cities the German working men un-
derstood that we were not coming
with imperialistic ideas and received
,, our troops without antagonism. The
Ruhr workmen may act similarly
when he is made aware that he will
receive food and salary.

run, for we must nave guarantees. "

AS TO CITIZENSHIP

At the funeral of Col. Fred Galbraith, head Of
the American Legion, some time ago, the minis
ter who delivered the funeral Grafton said among
other things: mo man has a right to live in any
community unless he renders to the community
an adequate service for the privilege of living
lin it."
And that minister summed up in about twenty
five words the full meaning of good citizenship
For you will value your citizenship all the more
if you will think Of it as less a right than a
privilege for which you must pay with service
You will be worth more to yourself the moment
you become worth more to the town in which you
live. Attending strictly to your own business
without turning helping hand when questions
of interest to your neighbors are uppermost isn't
paying the debt you owe the community nor is
it earning for you the privilege of living in a
community where the benefits are many. Suppose
you stop now at the threshold of new year and
ask yourself this question: "Have | earned the
privilege of living in Columbus" You cannot
earn it by saturating your interior department
with cat whiskey, by using profane language on
the streets, or by running your automobile
through town as though you were trying to es-
cape the final judgment. Be considerable be up
right, be friendly, be neighborly, be decent

CHRISTMAS SAVING FUNDS

A great many people have now
sbeep paying money into Christmas
Esavings funds in banks for the past
year. The accumulated result of
their thrift and self denial is now be-
ing handed over to them. What will
they do with it?
Some will blow it in at once on
some article of household or personal
use that they have long wanted. In
many cases that was the inducement
that originally caused them to begin
saving
But if they are to get rewards
worth while for the effort, they should
establish this reserve as a permanent
account in one of the banks of Column
bus, all of which are as solid as the
rock of Gibralter. They have found
that they can save without suffering
any great loss or inconvenience. Now
if they will continue a habit so well
begun, in a few years they will have
substantial capital, providing sz-
able interest check each year.

harmonious sound. And in this there
is possibility of general amity because
we cannot ordinarily hate those whom
we really understand.
We have no purpose to rhapsodize
upon the spiritual and ethical ex-
altation that music can afford. This
has been done so many times and 50
Fably that the ground is forbidden TO
anyone conscious of his own limita-
tions. However, one cannot think Of
music unless there recurs to his mind
those glorious and oft-quoted lines
of Shakespeare that have sung their
way into the universal heart:
"The man that hath no music in him-
self,
Nor is not moved with concord of
sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, strategems and
spoils;
The motions of his spirit are dull as
night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted"
But we can hardly conceive of any
such since even Don-intelligent ami
mails are thrilled and awed by the
power of harmony. 1t is well, then,
that music is coming to be recognized
as an essential part of education be-

KEEP GOING

When things go wrong, as they some
times will,
And the road you're truging seems
all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts
are high
And you want to smile, but have tc
sigh.
When care is pressing you down BIT
Rest, if you must--but don't you quit
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As everyone Of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he
stuck it out.
Don't give up, though the pace seems
slow,
You may succeed with another blow
Often the goal is nearer than
1t seems to a fain and faltering man.
Often the stluggler has given up
When he might have captured the
victor's cup,
And he learned too late, when the
night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden
crown.
Success is a failure turned inside
out
The silver tint Of the clouds Of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you
are,
II may be near when it seems affair.";
So stick to the fight when you are
hardest hit
It's when things seem worse that you
mustn't quit.
