Middle-Aged Negress Tells Mistress
How She VIII Spend $500 Insurance
Left by Her Husband.

A middle-aged negro woman Of
Richmond was left some $500 fnsur-
ance by her husband, and shortly aft
erward, when asked by the lady for
whom she had cooked for many years
what she intended to do with her
money, declared that she meant to
spend it on 1uxuries.
'Yo' see, Miss Mary, All done wuck
hard all nah life, an amt had muffin
but des needcessities, an Abs gwine
blow in dis money" she explained.
GLOW are you going to spend 1t,
Mandy?"
''Ah is gwine buy me phoneygraf'
an two silk dresses, an a dimont
ring. an marry Jack Thompson"
Mandy declared happily.
MARRY Jack Thompson? Why,
Mandy, he is nothing but worthless
loafer, a dressed-up dude who tries to
be a 'sport!'"
"Yassum, All knows dat" Mandy
agreed "but, lack All said, All wants
some 1uxuries. My ole man was a
good niger, but he sho' was sorry to
look<at. Now, dis Jack Thompson, he

The younger man leaned back and
slowly puffed circles of fragrant smoke
at the ceiling, while Riles surveyed
him from the head of the bed. He had
been a business man in Plainville, but
had become involved in a theft case,
and had managed to escape from the
town simply because a fellow man
whom he had wronged did not trouble
to press the matter against him.
Gardiner showed no disposition to
reopen the conversation about Plain
vile, so at last Rifles asked, 'How
d'you know I was here?"
"Saw your scrawl on the register"
he said, land I've seen it too often on
wheat tickets to forget 1t. Thought
I'd look you up. Maybe can be of
some service to you here. What are
you chasing-more land?"

The last touch was a stroke Of diplo-

should pay part of his expenses swept
away Riles' bad humor, and he agreed
to go on the date originally planned.

his arrangements at home.
He was to get "a bede on the easy

When Harris returned home the
next forenoon he found that Mary had
already left for Plainville. He sat
down and tried to think, but the house
was very quiet, and the silence op-
pressed him. He looked at his
watch, and concluded he had still
time to reach Plainville before the
train would leave. But that would
mean surrender, and surrender meant
weakness.

"It's a big country, Hiram" he said
with a touch of bitterness, ''but not

to Rifles, and the two men pulled in

A New Version.

Seven-year-old Joseph had been 60
ing to Sunday school for almost three
months and during that time had heard
several Bible stories. His mother was
boasting of his ability to relate them,
while his grandfather waited rather
!mpatiently. He was ready to start
on a trip downtown and Joseph was
gong with him.
Then all at once Joseph, too, grew
impatient. He was in grandfather's
car and could not discover the reason
for grandfathers lingering. So out he
shouted, Hurry up, grandpa, or Wen
be too late to go. You're as slow as
Moses was when he built the ark
