Only $4,000 was Raised at the For
ward Movement Educational Meeting,
Held at Quinn Chapel Last Thursday
Evening to Aid Bishop W. Sampson

Work in Africa. Col. Robert S. Abbott
Presided Over the Meeting and Contrib

of the colored race anywhere and the
time had arrived to lift the collection,
Col. Abbott, who always blows off a
whole lot Of steam or foam about him
self and his newspaper, before he can
be induced to talk about the meeting
in question or to open his mouth on
any other subject
1t seems that Col Abbott urged
those who were present to contribute
freely of their money to aid Bishop
Brooks in his forward movement
meeting and that while the good
bishop was engaged in looking in an
other direction in the church or was
busy in thanking some Of the true
friends for their larger contributions,
that Col. Abbott eased an old worn
out FIVE dollar bill on the table and
that act caused him to feel that he was
the greatest living real colored man
in the whole world, but when it was
voiced around that Col. Abbott had
only separated himself of FIVE dollars
and had received more free advertising
in connection with the meeting than
all Of his dupes combined, they gradual
ly woke up and it finally dawned upon
their minds that he had slipped hot
one over on all of them.
Under his poor and stingy chairman
ship he only raised the small sum OF
$4,000, which was no money at all
for Old Quinn Chapel to raise for it's
the Oldest church among the colored
people in Chicago and on other visits
of Bishop Brooks to it he has collected
as high as three hundred and fifty to
four hundred dollars and on last Fri
day evening at the Ebenezer A. M. E.
Church, Evanston, Illinois, its members
and friends raised Bishop Brooks three
hundred and twenty-five dollars which

1t was recently heralded through the
columns of the greatest newspaper in
the world that on Thursday evening
August 5, that forward movement
educational meeting would be held at
Quinn Chapel, oath and Wabash Ave, !"
that the object or the sole purpose Of
the meeting was to assist Bishop w.
Sampson Brooks in his educational
work in Africa.
Thousands of small cards were sent
out through the mails and otherwise,
announcing that fact and it announced
the further fact that Col. R. s. Abbott,
editor of the greatest newspaper in the
world would preside over the great
meeting or serve as its chairman
1t appears that a laymen's meeting
was held and it is said that Col. Abbott
would not warm up to the meeting un-
less he was chosen as its chairman
and the promoters of the meeting
thought that would be a dandy idea,
that by selecting him as its chairman
that he would dig up at least two hun
dred dollars for Bishop Brooks and his
educational work in Africa.
That amount would indeed have been
small enough for him to cough up,
when we take into consideration the
fact that he and his newspaper received
whole lot of free advertising at the
time the cards were sent out through
the mail advertising the meeting and
the further fact that Col. Abbott must
4lways be the first big dog in the meat
house or there is nothing doing with
him.
After the meeting had been called to
order by Col Abbott, who greatly
needs to be. operated upon for the en-
largement of the heart when it comes

into his northern world OF thou

the bravest and FLOODED men
of England and France, and how
these thousands had continued to
come. bringing with them the
names of kings, of princes, and of
great lords, until out of the saw

tocracy of race built UP of the
strongest men of the earth.
And these men of later days he
had called Lords of the North

and death in the hollow of their
hands until the great company
yielded up its suzerainty to the
Government Of the Dominion in

their wilderness castles than their
mistress over the sea, the Queen
of Britain.

Pierre. Few men have seen him
out of his own country, the far
headwaters of the Yellowknife,
where he rules like a great over
lord. Both the Yellowknives and
the Dog Ribs call him Kicheoo
Kimow, or king, and the same
rumors say there is never star
walton or plague in his regions;
and it is fact that neither the
Hudson's Bay nor Revillon Broth
ers in their cleverest generalship
and trade have been able to up
root his almost dynastic jurisdic-
ton. The Police have had no
reason to investigate or interfere
At least that was the gist of
what Carrigan had read in Nc
Nane's report. But he had never
associated it with the name of
Boulain. 1t was of St. Pierre
that he had heard stories, st.
Pierre and his black pennon with
it's white bear and fighting wolves.
And so-it was st. Pierre Boulain!
Bitter Thoughts
He closed his eyes and thought
of the long winter weeks he had
passed at Hay River Post, watch
ing for Fanchet, the mail robber.
1t was there he had heard most
aabout this st. Pierre, and yet
no one he had talked with had
ever seen him; no one knew
whether he was old or young, a
pigmy or a giant.
Some stories said that he was
strong, that he could twist a gun
barrel double in his hands; others
said that he was old, very old, SO
that he never set f2rth with his
brigades that brought down each
year a treasure of furs to be ex-
changed for freight. And never
did a Dog Rib or a YellowkRife
open his mouth about Kicheoo
Kimow St. Pierre. the master of
their unmapped domains.
In that great country north and
west of the Great Slave he re-
manned an enigma and a sphinx.
If he ever came out with his
brigades, he did not disclose his
identity, so that if one saw a
fleet of boats or canoes with the
st. Pierre pennon, one had to

DR.. Reed Discusses TOnsu Question

In order to answer the question
whether most children would noS
do equally we'll if their tonsils
had not been removed. two
groups of 1900 children each
were studied.
The first group of / 200 children
had had their tonsils removed,
mostly without definite evidence
Of disease, and the second group
also consisted of 1900 children
whose tonsils. however, were con-
sidered a menace, but were not
removed.
The result showed that tonsils
are a menace to health when
they are "a large and obstructive;
(2) obviously infected and retard-
ing the appetite and impairing nu-
triton; 80 when the child has
frequent attacks of sore throat
and tonsilitis, or (D frequent colds

is much adenoid ; tissue; when
there are 81 recurrent attacks of
ear infections with discharging
ears; Co when there is enlarge

not due to infected teeth, and %
when there is recurring rheuma-
tism and chOrea.

operation discharging ears oc-
CURED only half as frequently

group, but the removal Of tonsils
is not necessarily a cure for ear
trouble
Tonsils are not ALWAYS or
alone responsible for enlarge
ment OF the glands Of the neck,
but there was a definitely less
ened occurrence in the operated
group, suggesting that a number
of cases must be due to bad
tonsils..
The removal OF tonsils has no
effect on laryngitis. bronchitis or
peumonia, but offers less OPP
pOrtunlty for some Of the severe
throat manifestations Of scarlet
fever and diphtheria.
Tonsils are. a menace to the
health of any child who shows
rheumatic symptics. Rheumatic
pains occurred about equally in
the two groups. but heart disease
was less in the operated group,
and T. is possible that heart dis
ease will prove less common
among the operated children as
years go on.

CARRIGAN made no effort 20
~ call Marie back. His wits
were working slowly, readjust-
ing themselves after a carnival
in chaos, and he scarcely. sensed
that she was gone until the cabin
door closed behind her. Then
again he raised hand TO his
face and felt his beard. Three
days!
He turned his head SO that he
could take in the length of the
cabin. 1t was filled with sub
dued sunlight now. western
sun that glowed softly, giving
depth and richness TO the colors
on the floor and walls, lighting
up. the piano keys. suffusing the
pictures with a warmth of life.
Dayid's eyes Travelled slowly to
his own feet.
The divan had been opened and
transformed into a bed. He was
undressed. He had on some
body's white nightgown. And
there was a big bunch Of wild
roses on the table where three
days ago the cat had been sleep
ing in the work basket.
His head cleared swiftly, and he
raised himself little on one ell
bow, with extreme caution. and
listened. The big bateau was not
moving. It was still tied up, but
he could hear no voices out
where the tar-sands were.
He dropped back on his pillow,
and his eyes rested on the black
pennon. His blood stirred again
as he looked at the white bear
and the fighting wolves. Where
ever men rode the waters of the
Three Rivers that pennon was
known. Yet it was not common.
Seldom was it seen. and never
had it come south of Chipewyan.
Many things came to Carrigan
now. things that he had heard
AT the Landing and up and down
the rivers. Once he had read
the tail-end Of a report the super
intendent of "N'' Division had
sent in to headquarters.
We do not know this st.

And Carrigan, after writing OF
these things, had stuffed his
manuscript away in the bottom OF
his chest at barracks, for he be-
lieved that it was not in his
power to do justice to the people
of this wilderness world that he
loved. The powerful old lords
were gone. Like dethrone1 mon
archs, stripped to the level of
other men, they lived in the mem
cries of what had been. Their
might now lay in trade. No more
could they set out to wage war
upon their rivals with powder and
ball.
Keen wit, swift dogs, and the
politics of barter had taken the
place of deadlier things. LIE

command that others be slain. A
mightier hand than his now ruled
the destinies of the northern"
people-the hand of the Royal
Northwest Mounted Police.

and one Of the powerful forces Of
the wilderness had met in this
cabin of the big bateau, that
came to Carrigan as he drew
himself still higher against his
pillow. A greater thrill possessed
him that the thrill of his hunt
for Black Roger Audemard. Black
Roger was a murderer. a whole
sale murderer and fiend,
Moloch for whom there could be
no pity.
Of all men the Law wanted
Black Roger most. and her, David
Carrigan, was the chosen one
to consummate its desire. Yet in
spite of that he felt upon him
the strange unrest Of a greater
adventure than the quest for
Black Roger. It was like an I'M
pending thing that could not be

faculties from the slough into
which they had fallen because OF
his wound and sickness.
1t was, after all, the most vital
of all things. a matter of his
own life. Jeanne. Afarie-Anne
Boulain had tried to kill him de-
liberately, with malice and in
tent. That she had saved him
afterward only added to the
necessity of an explanation. and
he was determined that he would
have that explanation and settle
the present matter before he
allowed another thought of Black
Roger to enter his head.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

see me about twice a week and
calls me on the phone often.
But If he has a date with me.
and is unable to keep 1t he sends
his friend in his place. I don't
care the least bit for his friend
and always decline going out with
him.
He goes around with other
girls but asks me not to go
around with other young men.
When he is with other girls he
is very sociable, but when with
me he doesn't pet or kiss me.
Please advise me. PEGGY.
Do you think, Peggy, it's
fair bargain on his part to go
about with other girls and still
ask you not TO enjoy the com
partnership of all the nice young
men you number among your
friends? If ] were you l would
go about with all my friends
both girls and young men-and
not take the friendship Of any
one young man too seriously.
When he proposes marriage
if he ever does-there will be
time enough for you to consider
loving him.
nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ Will you please settle
