 So the Raggedys hopped upon the back of the magical hobby horse and dashed after the house on wheels. It was almost ten minutes before the hob by horse, running as fast as he could run, caught up with the house. and the Raggedys jumped from his back to the front porch. Then, of course. it only took a second for Raggedy Ann to cry, Stop, house on wheels" and the house stopped.
 Anyway, we have the house back again!' Raggedy APn laughed. Now climb upon the roof, poor nice man, and while we roll along I will wish you to have a pair of nice new shoes, for you have entirely spoiled your old ones dragging themw

For that mat ter, the nice poor man had never had hot W e e n i e sandwiches picked fresh from a magicial hot weenie tree either, but he had eaten the mat public quite often.
 The Raggedys in their a ventures through the deep, deep woods had come upon hot weenie bushes and trees before and they knew just how nice they were. And with eleven or twelve glass; es of ice cold sparkling ginger ale of course this made a nice little lunch, and they all knew they would not be hungry for almost an hour.
 Perhaps we had better have the kind magical hobby horse carry us along the path !' Raggedy Ann suggested. "The two

New York Harlem buried its first
royalty Sunday afternoon, when
three funeral services were held for
John Edward Bruce, newspaperman
and politician, who bore the title OF
Duke OF Uganda in the u. IN. r.. IA.
Over 5000 members in regalia Of Grim
son and gold, with sabres drawn,
marched behind the hearse, following
the funeral services.
Mr. Bruce, who was 81 years old
was employed in 1870 in the Wash
ington Office Of the New York Times,
where he was fred with an ambition
to become a journalist.
His writings were circulated
throughout this country, Europe and
even Africa, and ne developed great
influence. He covered Washington

years, writing many political stories
under the pen-name Of Bruce Grit"
He was member of the American
Negro Academy and a founder Of the
Negro Society for Historical Re-
search.
Bruce died in the Bellevue Hospital
last Thursday afternoon.
MFR. Bruce was for many years one
of our warm friends, he was alpower-
ful logical writer and several times
with our pens dipped in warm words
and bitter gall we fought each other
through the columns OF the Colored
American, Washington, ID. g. and The
Broad Ak, and it was always hard to
tell who got away with the bacon.
May he rest in peace to the end of

EGG SHOW WILL.
 OPEN WEDNESDAY
Main Object To Educate Pub lie In Selection Of
 Good Sorts

All the secrets of the egg will be shown to the people of Birmingham and Jefferson county who visit the second annual egg show to be held under the auspices of the Jefferson County Poul- try Breeders association from Wednes- day to Friday, inclusive. The show will be held at 2201 First avenue, north.
 Officials of the Jefferson, County Poultry Breeders association have been at work on the project for several weeks and everything is in readiness for the opening at noon Wednesday. No entry will be accepted after 10 o'clock Wednesday morning.
 Distribute Regulations
 J. c. Lowery, county agent co-operat- ing with the association in arranging the show, has been sending out copies of the regulations to prospective ex- hibitors, and others may be obtained from MT. Lowery at his office, room PIP of the court house.
 The emphasis this year will be placed on the educational features of the show 1; and poultry growers, housewives and others producing, selling and using eggs will be given Instructions in egg values.
 The usual idea of holding the show as financial proposition will be subor- dinated to the plan of making the Jeff ferson county egg show a course of in- struction in judging eggs, as we'll as producing them on a commercial scale. Show New Values
 "There is great deal about eggs that the general public knows practically nothing about,"' MT. ,>Lowery said in discussing the educational features of the show. "Daily exhibitions and lec- lures on the differences between good and bad eggs, and the reasons for this difference, will be given by experts in the poultry industry, who will tell peo- pie how to get the most for their money when they buy eggs." f~
 Egg production is said to be the most important part of the poultry industry, the returns from their sale exceeding by far those from the sale of the fowls

Mrs. Herman Lopez, 2216 Thirty first avenue, north, sustained broken foot and her daughter, Loet Aphelia Lopez, was badly bruised and shaken up when the rear end of their automo- bile was struck by another car and turned oyer at 6 o'clock Sunday evening at Twenty-fourth street and Thirty third avenue. Herman Lopez, who was driving, escaped uninjured.
 According to Lopez's story, he was driving on Twenty-fourth street and was struck near the back end of his car by the other machine coming ur Thirty-third avenue. Anxious about the condition of his wife and child Lopez did not stop to obtain the name of the driver of the other car, though it is said the other driver came back after striking the Lopez automobile.
 A passing motorist removed the in- jured to the Norwood hospital where they were reported recovering from the shock
