A TRUE FRIEND
By BertOn Braley

He lets me buy him dinner,
And never buys for me,
My purse grows flatter, thinner,
When in his company.
My money he annexes
BY various hooks and crooks,
But, though my soul he vexes,
He never borrows books!
His humor makes me weary,
His talk is most insane,
His tales are old and dreary,
And trying to the brain;
No matter how l view him,
! do not like his looks,
But still l cotton TO him
He never borroNs books!
What though he's far from moral
With faults can't defend,
| shall not ever quarrel
With such precious friend,
And should he from cell come,
A criminal, gadzooks,
! still should bid him Welcome
He never borrows books!

1t was a summer Sunday evening
and the man and his wife were at
tending church.
Outside the church window, the
crickets were making considerable
racket. Inside, the choir--a very fine
one-was finishing an anthem.
AS the beautiful final notes of the
music died away, the wife turned
to her husband and whispered:
"Oh, John, wasn't it wonderful!
Wasn't it marvellous" u
"Yes," said John, "and the most
wonderful part is that they do it all

JACK JOHNSON HEADS
100000 BUSINESS in
CITY OF new YORK
Especial to The Tribune)

NEW YORK, N. Y. Jan. 26-Papers
have been filed for the organization
of the ]. A. ]. Corporation, a concern
that will manufacture an automobile
and mechanics wrench, the invention
of which is credited to Jack Johnson
of prize fight fame, who has retired
from his theatrical activities to head
the corporation. He has been elect
ed President. Sol Coleman will be
the Vice-President, Max Rogers, John
sons theatrical agent, is the Secre-
tary, and Abe Coleman, the Treasur-
er.
The concern is capitalized at $780,
900, and occupies temporary offices
at 245 West 47th street, New York.
Plans have been drawn for a factory
to be located at Ralston street and
Queens Blvd, in Long Island City.
The structure will be $50 by 200 feet.
Johnson's @nvention has been ap-
proved by number of practical
automobile people, and seems to fill
the need for practical tool. While
comparatively cheap product, con-
sidering the quality of steel and the
careful workmanship that enters into
it, production in quantities sufficient
to create a profitable market will in
all probability oblige the corporation
to offer portion of its stock to the
public, though no definite statement
as this could be obtained.

MISSISSIPPIAN IS
PEEVED over charge
MADE BY OPPONENT
Especial to The Tribune)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 26-In
a bitter political contest in Mississippi
last fall, ]. E. Arnold, husband of a
popular political opponent of Ross A.
Collins in the Fifth Congress- lonal
legislative district, was charged with
having Negro Blood" in his veins in
tead of Choctow Indian blood as
commonly understood. Advertisements
we're printed in Mississippi newspa-
pers to this effect and resulted in the
nomination of Collins.
After the smoke of the political bat
lie had cleared away, Arnold of Union,
Iiss., has filed suit for damages
against Representative Collins and
Thomas ]. Scott and Dr. F. ]. McKin-
ley, in the District of Columbia Su-
preme Court. The amount asked for
in the suit is $130,O00 DR.. Mckinley
is an agent of the Department of In
terror in charge of Choctow Indian af-
fairs in Mississippi and Mr. Scott is
his assistant.
1t is alleged that Mckinley and
Scott furnished Representative Col
lins with false information, purport-
ing to be records of the Interior De-
partment, that Arnolds mother was a
Virginia Negro woman sold in slavery
to James Arnold, of Conway County,
Ca, and that this woman, instead of
a Choctow Indian woman. was the
mother of the plaintiff. These charg-
es were made in the political advertis-
ing of Collins.
Arnold's contentious are summar-
lied as follows: MRS Arnold, wife of
the plaintiff, was a candidate against
Representative Collins in the Demo
cratic primaries for Congress last
year. Arnold was not candidate,
but in information obtained from
these two Indian agents of the De-
partment of the Interior Representa-
tive Collins published in a dozen news
papers in Mississippi charges that
the husband of Collins political rival
had Negro blood in him, and was not
of the Choctow strain.
Those advertisements, of course,
had great effect in Mississippi. Col
Inns was renominated and Arnold and
his family have suffered partial social
ostracism because of these state
ments, which we are in "a position to
disprove. We have brought suit and
got service on Representative Collins
here" said Attorney Richardson, coun-
sci for the plaintiff
