looking out, but all of this time have
been improving, and from this you will
decide that must have been way
down at the heel, and you are guess
ing right, but then DR.. Eugene H.
Dibble has been kept busy, and he has
succeeded in getting me to where
am now.
It i certainly strange how things
have been fixed up in this world, for
here am working hard as / can to
keep DR.. Dibble out Of hell, to keep
him out Of the hands Of the devil, and
here he has been working five weeks
TO keep me out Of heaven, and have me
remain down here little longer with
you people This seems to be a gen
eral contract between the minister and
the doctor, one il working against
hell and the other against heaven. OF
course you know heaven is my home,
but am not exactly home sick. / am
willing to remain down here a little
while longer, although Editor Taylor
has referred to my Baptist heaven some
time ago. He is a wonderful editor
and is doing something for his people.
Speaking Of Editor Julius F. Taylor,
there is not another man in all the
country like him. He is original in
his editorial work, original in the make
up and headlines Of his paper, and then
I he is earnest, and if you are right he
will praise you and if you are wrong
he will do the other thing, and he does
not mince words either. There are
many traits about him to be admired
If you knew my condition when !
came in this hospital, and could see me
now, you would not blame me for
praising Dr. Dibble, and the head
nurse, Miss Mary S. Booth. They
have been faithful, and it was the use
/ Of the knife in the hands Of Dr. Dbl
bic which snatched me back to this
world. After you are slashed, and put
together again, then you need good
nursing, and Miss Booth took charge
OF this, especially during the dressing
and operation, hut then there were
some other faithful nurses, who shared
in this, Misses Nettie Jones, Edith
/ Williams, Delphia Williams, Arcola E.
Phillips, Edna Kelon, "a. Z. Murphy,
Bessie Jacobs, Leslie Epps, Eunice
Emanuel, Willie Martin and Mardrie
Mae Marsh.
have told you about Dr. King and
2 pr. Wood, the part they played in
my drama, and all acted well their
part, and am thankful for it. They
have all been in harmony with DR..
George Cleveland Hail. and did not
attempt to put me to sleep. DR.. Hall
has told me that if any one wanted to
put me to sleep to telegraph for him
and he would be there. You see he is
my regular physician and I believe IN
him
It has just been one act of kindness
after another since have been here.
They have furnished me with fruit
galore. Mr.. Palmer has taken the lead
in this, and while I was Oh spoon eats.
Mr.. Shehee sent me over mush, and It
was good. It carried me back to the
days when my mother fed me On nush
and milk. Mrs. B. T. Washington
sent me over ice cream each day, and
then there was Mrs. Katie Cover, the
wife Of the banker, and she made ice
cream. You see one Of the most in
teresting characters here Is Prof. ".
c. Turner, Of the agriculture depart
ment a graduate from Morehouse
college, and finished Up IN Wisconsin,
where he learned all about the agri-
culture and milk business. He has
charge Of the dairy herd, looking al
ter the milk and cream.
Mr. Turner furnished cream to Mrs.
Cover, and honey, she made some ice
cream in great style. She carried me
out for a ride a. did her husband from
time to time. I have told YOU about
him, for he IS the banker here.

and interested in me.
