was in Chicago. Charles K. Brown
with HEX came from Washington, d.
c., two years previous and opened
a barber shop under the firm name
of Clarke and Brown. With the re-
modelling of the Merchants hotel the
shop was enlarged to six chairs with
with a separate department for la
dies. 1t was the first of it's kind to
be established in the city, and possib-
ly the state. Brown was not bar
Der, but soon became very prof.
cient. Brown was handsome young
fellow of %, blue eyes, very fair and
with light brown hair. When the
panic of SO closed the hotel and the
shop he went east finally settling
in the Quaker City where Mrs. Clarke
visited his wife later on. He has now
stepped across the border line of col
or and is in the insurance business.
His wife has millinery establish
ment. Mrs. j. W. Crump, of Helena
and Mrs. Albert Sidney, of Town

ispell and Mrs. Jennie Mack of San
ia Monica, Calf, widows, are still
living.
The N. A. A. c. P. stickers used
on Christmas letters and packages
have been glaringly conspicuous in
Helena by their absence. When we
were in Butte absorbing parliament
tary pointers and other information
from the session of the Women's Fed
Grafton, we thought we heard the
adoption of a resolution instructing
someone to purchase these stickers
in time to be distributed to the clubs
throughout the state for Christmas.
1t is possible the association did not
get out anything of the kind this
year, if so, of course they were I'M
obtainable.
Brown America" by Embree, is
being boosted by the secretary of
the Illinois Association of Colored
Women, Mrs. Mamie Reed. She has
delegated Mrs. Edward johnson of
this city to represent her here.
No, Stree! Going to a shower
does not necessarily have any rela-
tionship to a bath. Coming events
cast shadows upon such dainties as
soft, downy wrappings, rattlers, bas-
sinets, teething rings, etc.
Speaking from Matthew % 40. the
Rev. Arthur A, Moore delivered his
first sermon as the regularly APP
pointed pastor of st. James A. M. +.
Church, by Bishop Parks. His SUBJ
ject was "Jesus Christ, the God
Man." The Rev. Moore's former
service to st. James was under the
appointment of the former presiding
elder, Patterson. Church conference
is called for next Tuesday night
when a general reorganization of
the church, the budget and other
plans for the year are expected to be
consummated. In the letter to St.
James Church, addressed to H. J.
Baker, Mrs. Alonzo Moore, mother
of the pastor expressed a deep feel
ing of appreciation to the members
and friends of the church for making
it possible for her son, the Rev
Moore, to be with her and comfort
her during her Illness. She felt it
added more than any other agent
to her recovery.
! Conservation of much wasted en-
ergy could be assured if, instead of
going to the hills for our wood we
would endeavor to accumulate the
chips so much in evidence upon some
shoulders about town. What a
gr-r-rand and glo-o-orious bonfire
they'd make.
