MAKING A GARDEN ON CLAY
 Contrary to the opinion of many, clay soil is not the worst kind of base for a garden, although it causes difficulties if not properly treated. In it's natural state it cuts like soap when wet. and bakes like a brick when dry, but these two extremes can be easily modi.

Any Week

Is there anything new under the
sun? Who dares to ask after scan
ming the results of last weeks cleo
tons? Talking about strange bed
fellows--there'll be some worth
talking about when the persons elect
ed by the people of this country
come together for their first official
introductions within the next few
weeks.
The congressional election in Chi.
cago, the richest district in Amei-
CO." of course holds the spotlight. Ar
thur W. Mitchell, lawyer, who halls
originally from Alabama and Wash
ington, D. c., will return to Capital
city as representative in Congress on
the Democratic side, thing unheard
of in history! Consider the paradox
of this situation: In Texas members
Of the Race have appealed to the
United States Supreme Court to be
allowed to vote in the Democratic
primaries because the primary cleo.
ton is tantamount to final elections.
Yet, in Illinois, in q district of 3d.
900 voters, district that comprises
Chicago's famous loop with its mill
lion dollar buildings-a black man
was elected to represent this district.
For the first time in the history Of
the country, a member of the eman-
cipated race will sit on the Democra-
tic side Of the House Of Representa-
tives, and raise his voice with those
who tradionally are opposed to his
existence as free man and as voter.
If this isn't something new under the
sun, just what Is?
But that is just beginning. When
the noise Of the voting had died
away, and the casualties had been
dragged out and enumerated, it was
found that 20 members of the Race
had survived the storm and were
swept into elective office. And if It
is strange that IA had been elected
on the Democratic ticket, it is just
as strange that the remaining Ia had
managed to be elected on Republi-
can ticket in the midst of a Demo-
cratic landslide.
Take the case of William E. King
of Chicago for instance. Mr.. King,
a veteran in the Illinois State legis-
lature, sought elevation to the Illi-
nois Senate on the Republican ticket.
In the Third district which he repre-
scented, there was one of the bitterest
fights ever recorded. Bryant Ham,
mond, the Democratic opponent of
Kings, had not only the full support
of his party chiefs, but the help of
some disgruntled Republican leaders.
Yet, while Mitchell was piiing up
enough votes to lead DePriest in the
same territory, King was holding his
own as . Republican. The results
were a Democratic Congressman, and
three Republican members of the
legislature from the same district.
How can wiseacres account for thatf

In East So. Louis.

Or take the case Of DR.. A. Fl. Smith
of East st. Louis, III. Or. Smith,
running on the Democratic ticket and
in a district Overwhelmingly white,
found himself elected to the Illinois
legislature by wide margin over his
white Republican opponent. He poll
ed more than $1,000 votes In . dis
trict where there are less than 5000
Race voters. -...--......
Michigan City, Ind, pulled fast
one by electing an attorney, . How
ard University graduate, as justice
of the peace by 1900 majority over
two white opponents. The winner,
Atty. Tenola Graves, was making his
first bid for favers at the hands Of
the electorate. .>, TX
st. Louis in Missouri also turned
in some surprising results. What
would you think of a member Of the
Race being elected constable On the
Democratic ticket! Well, that is what
happened to Jordan Chambers, max
ing him the first person Of color to
achieve this distinction. And please
understand that a constable IL of no
mean importance in st. Louis. They
have districts, and wide powers In
their districts. So important are
these posts that they are always hot
ly contested, and the winner has
every reason to be gratified 1t his
success.
But that isn't all for st. Louis BY
any means. Before this town on the
Mississippi river was through, it had
elected two other constables, William
A. Moranf and Langston Harrison,
and two Justices of the peace, Char
lie Turpin, veteran Republican and
Attorney Frank 8. Bledsoe. That
isn't bad day for the Race, no mat
ter what ticket swept the country.
New For Ohis.
Now, let's travel up to Ohio to see
! what happened there. Ohio, ss you
know, is additionally and strictly Re-
publican in philosophy. So il nstur-
ally was expected that Republicans
would swing into power on the bal
lots. But not go. Along with the
election of a Democratic governor
and Democratic United Safes Sem
ator, the voters in Cleveland forgot
those members Of the Race who were
on the Republican ticket, and sent
them to a political recess-at least
for the time being. In this sweep,
however, they did salvage one MEM
Der of the Race on the Republican
ticket and that man, Harry e. Davis,
will sit with the newly elected char
ter commission to revise the charter
for Cuyahoga county in which Cleve-
land is located.
While the Republicans were being
retired in Cleveland, however, Dem
ocrat, DR.. H. N. Smith. was slipping
into the State Legislature from Gin
cinnati on the crest Of the wsve Of
Roosevelt popularity. So, at Colarn-
bus, at the next session Of the State

Silently we looked around us.
The dining-room and the kitchen

Dougherty suddenly.
We followed his pointing
finger and there in the dim
circle Of light cast by the hall
light, we saw a tiny tr1ckle Of
something black.
''Blood!" exclaimed Hurley.
It was coming from the rear
Of the hall, just outside the
kitchen door.
Katz pulled out his flash
again and sent its powerful
glow flashing into the darkness.
We saw a dreadful sight.
There on the floor, his open
eyes staring at the ceiling, lay
the body of my old friend Mac
Nalley-my faithful old friend
Mac.
In one hand he still held his
revolver, mute witness that he
had been game to the finish.
"Dead!" I heard Dougherty
exclaim, as he bent over the
figure, but his voice was that OF
a man millions of miles away,
speaking from another world.
Then the post hit me, q merci-

from this nightmare Of horror
and sending me into q world OF

is the longing flowing over me
when I think of you, Kevin, my
own"
It was Bills last day. He
came for dinner. Afterward
they walked to the Presidio
and along that hill whence one
sees in it's majestic sweep, in
all its blue uplifting beauty,
the San Francisco Bay, the
islands and the nude encircling
hills.
"Pippin," said the boy, you'll
never know what it's meant to
me meeting YOU"
Bill, you break my heart"
I'm not fooling. You're so
sweet. Like a dream come
true. I've never met such a
girl"
"The world is full of U.S."
"Oh, no. You're the only
one like you. I KNOW. You
look and you think and you
act altogether different from
the others. You take my
breath away, you're so darn
beautiful. I'm going to be
awfully blue"
"Oh, Bill, don't spoil your
precious two years with unhap-
piness. Think how wonderful
to be man and sail the wide
gray ocean, while you get ready
for the life you're going to
meet so bravely"
"See-What other girl would
ever say a deep thing like that?
Do you worry about life and
how you should meet it?"
Perhaps. Or I pretend to
worry. Just to tease David
and my mother. Helena leases
so easily. It's almost wrong
to trouble a gold angel like
her"
You're the same. "a gold
angel"
She glanced up mistily, found
his eyes swimming. Quickly
his young face, white and
pleading, he bent down and
kissed her lips. It disturbed
her. It made tears rush to
her eyes.
Yet it was sweet. It was
delicious.

AnderSon's agility was such
that he reached a window first.
He smashed it with one blow Of
his first and went through it
bodily. We heard him fall into
a flower bed and paused a
moment lest we leap on him as
we dashed out.
That pause was fatal.
Head him off" I heard some
one shout.
"Go for the gate!"
"Shoot on sight"
I had been directly on the In
spector'S heels and Is seconds
after the Inspector had regained
his feet I had landed on my
hands and knees in the same
flower bed.
The blackness OF the garden
was terrible.
But in that second as I lay
there on the ground I was in a
position to see quite clearly
what happened.
The Inspector, running hard,
emerged from the darkness Of
the shrubbery and into the little
ribbon Of light cast by the IL
brary lights.
Suddenly in front of him and
nearer to the house, I saw a tall
figure loom up-the figure Of a
man, outlined clearly in the
luminous circle. He deliberately
extended his arm at right-angleS
to his body.
There was a blaze Of light, a
cry, and I saw Anderson lose his
footing and crumple up on the
ground.
The man who had fired made
no effort to retreat but started
on a run toward the body Of his
victim.
With that, all the primeval
fury of the killer was unloosed
within me.
Springing to my feet, I sped
across the garden and threw
myself at the throat of the as
sassin, who was standing still
with his pistol still in his hand.
For some reason, took him
by surprise. I hit him once-a
nasty uppercut that brought
him Saggng to his knees-then

murmur, What. =. the. hell
...."
Those three words saved his
life. I was mad with fury and
rage, and I should have kept on
hitting until I had reduced him
to a pulp.
But I stayed my next blow in
astonishment and bent over him
trying to see his face in that i'm.
penetrable blackneSS.
"Judson," I exclaimed. "Jud-
son, is that you? What in the
world do you mean-?"
I just caught a weak murmur
of assent, and then the rest Of
the party was upon us, hitting,
baWling, screaming.
But at last we untangled our
selves, and somebody pulled out
a f1aShlight. Judson, on the bot
tom, lay on the ground and made
no effort to rise.
"Judson shot him." I cried.
what did you want to shoot
the Inspector for, Judson?
Didn't you know him?"
"The Inspector" repeated
JudSon in a dazed voice. WAS
it the Inspector I hit? Oh,
my God! didn't know, boys.
I saw a man throw himself out
Of the window and I heard you
all screaming, Head him Off
and Shoot on sight and so I
deliberately took aim and
fired. Have I killed him?"
But Anderson was not dead.
Kind hands had raised him
from the ground and were sup
porting him.
But it was Anderson, never
theless, who i'll and injured,
took in the facts Of the fiasco
in single moment.
"To the hall, men," he
shouted. "Judson knows moth.
ing of this. See what the
trouble is in the hal!P'
For in the excitement and
confusion Of the garden We had
forgotten those agonizing
screams and shots!
The hall was dark but some
body found the electric switch
and got on the lights.
