an old, highly valued friend of both
myself and Mr.. Wetmore. While MI.
Wetmore entertained and cherished
kindly feelings towards all bodies of
Christians, it was apparent to all who
knew him, that the Church of which
he was a minister, was the Church of
his heart and deepest affection"
The last year or two of his life was
spent in Watauga County, as Mission
airy and Pastor for members Of the
Church scattered over a. large terrific
rity in hat and Ashe County. 1t has
been my privilege recently to converse
with some members of his charge, who
expressed the strongest feelings Of at
tachment to him.
This was a field requiring a vast
amount Of physical labor, to which
in his impaired state Of health, he vas
unequal. But he labored to the utmost
of his strength, receiving little or no
pecuniary compensation.
l have thought, however, that there
is one consolation which a. worker in
this field has. 1t is the field in. which
the sanity Prout first, planted the
Standard Of the Church, and in which
the memory Of his zeal and self-deny-
ing labors is still fresh. These labors
and zeal. are still detailed and are cal
culated to stimulate and encourage the
lonely laborer in the cause of the
Church. There also labored the hum
bic Skies, whose remains lie buried
there, and whose name is still loved
by all who knew him.
The last time I met MI. Wetmore
was in October, 1887. 1t was at a
meeting of the Convocation of Char
lotte in Lenoir. His health was brok-
en-; the elasticity of his spirits gone;
and we felt that he was not to be with
as much longer. On that occasion he
preached once, and his Sermon was
characterized by the same earnest de-
sire to rescue souls from the power
and consequences of sin. Requiescat in
pace"

AND MORE!

To be satisfactory president of the
United States, according to Grenville

The patience of a Job.
The perspicacity of a Plato.
The strength of a Hercules.
The wit of a Rabelais.
The courage of a lion.
The eloquence of a Demosthenes.
The wisdom of a Solomon.
The gentleness of a dove.
The silence lat times) Of a Sphinx.
The universally of a Shakespeare.

City Gardens Aid
Jobless Get Food

Jobless Negroes in Winston-Salem
are being fed from $500 small gar
dens scattered all over the city on va
AN lots and open land about in the
suburbs, while others find work as we'll
as food laboring in the 3o-acre COM

This project of helping idle Ne
groes to help themselves is a co-opera-

George W. Coans, Jr., and the Negro
Division of Agriculture Extension Ser
vice at State College," says c. R. Hud-
son, state agent. THE college and city
are cooperating to pay the salary of a
special Negro agent. H. c. Jones, who
IS spending his entire time in this work.
When the project was first begun this
spring, the city used its teams and i'm
Elements to prepare the land for cul-
tivation. Local merchants then coop

great quantities of tobacco stems and

Altogether now, 1900 gardens are
being cultivated and the Negroes are
securing fresh vegetables from the
plots in addition to canning and dry

agent, Elizabeth Tuttle, assisted by
Dazelle Foster Lowe, district home
agent, is giving demonstrations in how
to conserve the vegetable supply.
Hudson says idle Negroes Are also
employed on the 30-acre community
garden and are paid from the proceeds

IS also being canned for winter.

Blossom Time !"
at National
Again

In extremely capable hands,
Blossom Time" the almost i'm
mortal operetta by Romberg based
on the life of Franz Schubert,
again made its bow at the
National before an audience that
seemed to appreciate its every
word and note.
The excellence of the singing
voices and the verve with which
the cast acted the story lent a
freshness that more than made
up for certain scenic irregularities
that those who visited The Stu
dent Prince" would find.
It is a pathetic little story, this
enc of the life and love of Franz
Schubert, to whom only music
remained faithful. AS enacted by
John Charles Gilbert, who has
been seen here before, the role
of Schubert has a convincing
quality and tragic meaning.
Mr.. Gilbert also revealed fine
singing voice. Gertrude Lang, as
Mitzi, lent another lovely voice
to the score.
George Hassell it is who bears
the comedy honorS throughout
the entire three acts, and he does
it we'll. Allen Jones, Manila Pow
ers and numerous others sing
their well-known songs in fine
style. Romberg has adapted and
woven many melodious compost
tions of Schubert into the score,
among them being THE Song Of
Love-" Moment Musicale" "Only
One Love Ever Fills the Heart"
"Serenade," and many others.
The costumes may not be new,
but they appear to be, or perhaps
it's because the people that wear
them freshen them up. Anyway,
it's a fine production and one
that brings back memories of the
first Blossom Time."-J. K. V.

Question Ready

At any rate, when Mr.. Black
well dropped into the chair be-
side me, was all ready with
a question. It was something
that had really been bothering
me, too.
'"Tell me something, Carlyle"
I inquired. THAT limit they
have here-the $4,000 francs.
I mean - does that apply to
everyone? I mean I've heard
so much about the terrific
plungers who gamble here on
occasion that I don't under
stand it. Is it possible that
all they'll let you lose on a play
is less than a thousand dol
lars?"
Mr.. Blackwell was quite def
mite in his information.
"By no means" was his state
ment. LAS long as they know
that you can pay the money if
you lose you can practically set
your own limit. I've seen sew
eral players in here with a
limit of 100000 francs on each
play. They are multi-million-
aires. of course.
1.-THE only difficulty with that
style of play is that the casino
expects you to bet the limit on
each play. There was an
English woman here this sum-
mer who played with a 100000
franc limit practically every
night for almost six weeks. And
she bet the limit on each play"
asked the same question
that you probably would have
asked. And I received an an
swer that I know to be posi-
lively correct because I checked
on it later in the hotel. I
don't doubt Carlyle's veracity.
But, after all, he was a movie
star.

oodles of congratulations as the
first baby to be born in San Fran

Maxine will be given a party that
will top all of the other 19 cele-
brations, for in her many weeks
at the Earle she has made a host

How much," wanted TO
know, did she lose on the
season?"
He shook his head.
"She didn't" was the an
swer. "She kept an accurate
record during her six weeks
play. And when she finally
quit after playing for millions
of francs a night she was ex-
actly $3.50 ahead!
First Night Club
At II o'clock I suggested
to Mr.. Blackwell that we hit
our first night club.
Might as we'll get moving
I said. i've got to get some
night club copy around here.
Where to first?"
Carlyle rubbed his chin.
There's a swell spot over in
Nice" he murmured, but that's
closed"
That's great help" 7
chirped. I'm glad we got out
of there in a hurry. Any other
suggeStions?"
He banged the table suddenly.
1--WE got the very place,
Mark he cried. "a grand
orchestra, nice people and some
talent that you'll like. It's
about two miles up and~-"
I was already on my feet.
That's my spot, boy" en-
Unused. Let's CO."
He arose-and sat down
again abruptly.
Il just thought of something,
Mark. That's closed, too."'
That was the straw that
broke the ice in two. I was
rapidly growing desperate. I
took my friend by the arm and
marched him down the cor.
ridor.
Carlyle" I stated, i've got
to find at least one night club
that's open in Monte Carlo. I
passed a joint today that's only
a block or so from the hotel.
We're going there right now"
His eyes opened wide.
"Oh, yes," he asserted. 'The
Knickerbocker. Is that open?"
I was still walking.
IF there's at least a doubt"
I replied, I'm already doing
better than you did"
Large Crowd
The Knickerbocker held
exactly two customers that
night. Right you are again.
The customers were Carlyle
and I. It was so lonesome in
there I thought I was in New
York.
The manager was most apollo
getic. A tremendous party had
just walked out. Which is the
same gag I've heard around
cafes since I was an innocent
child of four. When cafe is
empty, you have either just
missed a big party-or a big
party is due any moment.
Neither party ever arrives.
The club was well decorated,
but it was the same doggone
thing all over again. A small
dance floor. Shaded lights. A
colored combination Of three
pieces. And the leader-an
affable chap named Carpenter
sitting at the piano and
singing any song that anyone
might request.
After I had Carpenter sing
Melancholy Baby" six times,
I marched over to him. I
asked him if he came from
Harlem. He grinned from ear
to ear.
"Yas, suh," he cried. "Ah
sho' is. An Ah'm gonna tell
yo' somethin' else. All knows
yo' from somewhere"
I turned around to make
certain that Blackwell was
listening.
Maybe you do," I admitted
modeStly. my names Hell
linger."
He laughed loudly.
"Yo can't fool me, miStuh,"
he cried. "Ah knows Hellinger
and yo' amt him. Yo' looks
more like Rudy Vallee."
Gosh! Did have to come to

Some of the individual mem

in England. About-oh, well.
about an hour.
Marx" he asserted, I'm at
home here and you must let
me do something for you. Is
there anything you Want?"
I smiled.
Nothing much I can think
of right now, Carlyle" I replied,
except for one thing. I've got
to hop to Paris very shortly.
AS a matter Of fact, ! think I'll
take the late train tomorrow.
But before I go I've got to
take in the night life in this
section. Thus far, I've seen
nothing rut the inside of the
casino. HOW about meeting me
tonight and we'll hop around
the town together? Okay with
you?"
He nodded.
Great with me-" he returned.
''Meet you in the salon privee
at the casino at 10 sharp.
Right?"
I hesitated.
"All right" I replied du-
biously. But I'm getting a
little tired of that casino
and"
stopped. He was gone.
Thus, 10 o'clock found me in
the casino again. Nothing was
changed. The same faces. The
same lack of enjoyment. I
doubt whether there is ever
much change among these peo-
pie until they hit the air.
Surely that must do something.

DousFairbanks to
Make Film in
China
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1892. King Features
Syndicate, Incl

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 29.-The
picture Douglas Fairbanks pro-
poses to make in China turns
out to be the stars most ambi-
tious project in years. To carry
it through will require many
months of shooting and the use
of entire armies of men.
Doug sat on the arm of the
barber chair in his dressing
room yesterday and gave me a
brief outline of his plan. To
explain it fully, he said, would
require hours.
In a few words, his idea is
to photograph two parallel stories
one embracing the entire
pageantry of Chinese history
the other a saga Of a modern
War-lord who succeeds in unit
ing the multiple factions of his
country, only to have them slip
back out of his hands. Sym
bolically, the stories will illus
trate that as soon as a man or
race learns laughter at self.
the driving power of achieve
ment is at an end.
The germ of this idea Doug
conceived to the tune of roar
ing motors while flying over a
little town in Java. Once in
China, he developed it through
the cooperation of Tong Shou vi,
first prime minister of the coun-
try, and DR.. Shuh, leading Chi
nese scholar.
Anyone who has known Doug
over a period of years has
learned that these sudden en-
thusiasms often come to naught,
but this time he appears to be
unusually keen on his idea. He
thinks enough of it, at least, to
plan another trip to China as
soon as he can wheedle Mary
away from her picture work.
On this second trip, he will
make an exhaustive survey into
the practicability of the project.
If The results satisfy him, he
will then return to Hollywood
and organize a staff to put the
undertaking over.
