paid hurried visit to the City Hall,
conferred with certain officials, then
paid a visit to the jeweler, and
picked out two articles of jewelry
with great care, and even accepted
the clerks advice on a certain mat
ter.
He met her that night at the same
place at the same time, and, oh, &C.
casion for great joy! there was a
moon out. They both looked up at
the moon, then at each other, and
were highly satisfied, for they we're
good to look upon, and soothing to
the eye. When they were in the
cab, he felt her hand, and found a
certain finger, and she made no
move. She held up her hand to in
spect his activities, and he knew
with her smile that all was well. And
because he was big and strong and
well liked, he sealed the bargain
with kiss.
Then he began his great plea. He
marshaled facts, arguments, pleas,
entreaties, eXpostulations and
threats, even, in a grand array
and paraded them before Nellie.
Bob, still with his satisfied smile,
helped her out in front of an office,
and because he was a clever lawyer,
and some little convincer, they went
inside.
When it was quite all over, kiss,
ring and all, the door jumped Vio-
lently inward, and Papa and Mann
ma Gray stood framed in the door
way, incredulity frankly written on
their faces. When they understood
that the damage had been done,
Mr.. Gray, with twinkle in his eye,
and familiar deep throated chuck
lie, wrung Bob's hand with hearty
approval, Knew you two were
bound to do it. And good luck to
you"
Nellie was weeping on her moth
er's shoulder. 81 got Boobies note
tonight saying that he was going to
marry you down here, and we hur-
ried right down to be in time for
the ceremony. Dear, dear, and
have been waiting 20 years to mar
ry you in grand style, and then you
had to do it in this dingy little hole.
But | was so afraid for a while that
you were going to marry Marina
duke!"
And she beamed on the smiling
Bob.

Mrs. Mary J. Moore, was born in
Highland County, Va, and with the
family lived in Richmond, Fernwood,
Reeds Mills and Winterville, Ohio.
After her early training she attended
Mt. Union College at Alliance, Ohio.
Later she became known as a prof.
clent tailor and dressmaker. On Oct.
2, 1911, atg Canton, Ohio, she was
united in marriage to Howard l..
Moore of Alliance, o.
In 1913, at cottage prayer meeting
during revival held in st. Luke Am.
E. Church, she was reclaimed, Mrs.
Lulu Turner, wife of the pastor, being
the evangelist. After her conversion,
possessed of an unusually sweet voice,
she began to sing the gospel fervently
and was known as the singing evan
gelist and later she began preaching
also.
She was first discovered by the Pre-
siding Elder, DR.. Chas. Bundy of
Cleveland, Ohio, who sent her to his
home town, Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, to
hold a meeting there even before she
had license to preach. The meeting
was such marvellous success that she
came to the annual conference at
Lima, Ohio, to report an unusual
awakening that eclipsed anything that
had been known since the days of the
late Nora Taylor. From that time she
became an ever increasing power as
an Evangelist, serving the following
places: Mt. Pleasant, Urichsville,
where she resurrected a church, -four

Dreary But Diamond Laden

The sandy shore of South West
Africa is literally studded with dia-
monds.
Along the $50 mile coast, for 30
to 80 miles back from the Atlantic.
there is a dreary waste of undulat-
ing sand and shifting dunes, but this
miniature coastal Sahara is the
country's jewel box.
Near here, in 1908, German rail-
road workmen discovered dia-
monds. The gems are supposed to
have been washed up by the sea.
Dredges also bring them up off
shore.
In 1884 these sands gave I'D
$5,7l0,500 in diamonds; in 1885 more
than twice that sum; in 1886 almost
three times the 1884 amount.
These otherwise barren beaches
yield about one-fifth of the worlds
annual supply. The gems are small
but brilliant and of good quality.
Half the country's revenue is paid
by the diamond output.
The sand hills from which the
jewels are mined" vary in height
from 30 to 100 feet along the coast,
and rise to 300 and 400 feet three
miles inland. Those protected with
a sparse growth of vegetation do
not shift, but others often move
as much as five feet on a stormy
day.

Bedford, Chelsea, Mass; st. Paul,
Cambridge; Grant Memorial, Boston;
Allen Providence, Newport, r. l.,
where she held her last meeting under
great strain, strength giving out be-
fore her intended return.
She accepted the call to hold meet
ing that was first called First Church
of the Messiah of Boston, and after
very successful revival, the member
ship decided that they wished to re-
turn to the Methodist Faith, and re-
quested to be taken into the A.M.E.
Church. The membership was called
by her and she invited her husband,
the Rev. H. L. Moore, to take them
into the Church, after which the or
ganization was completed and the Rev.
J. R. Campbell, late Presiding Elder
of the Boston District received the
Church for the New England Annual
Conference. The name of the church
was later changed to Moore Taber-
nacle in her memory, as a monument
to her faithful service to the connec-
ton.
With all force she labored forget
ting herself, trying to do all for the
building of His Church. Turning a
deaf ear to all criticism, and binding
her eyes to any possible impossible
ties, she went on through the years
ever interested in the Church and sal
walton of souls, sacrificing all, even
her life for its progress.
Her eagerness to see the church in
action again prompted the Doctor to
tell her of her condition and advise
that she attend the General Confer
ence at Detroit, and the Annual Con-
ference at Allen Providence. She said,
81 want to attend this, my last Annual
Conference and General Conference,
and make my last report.
She would interest herself in others
giving of her own means for their
comfort. She especially fostered in
her home an ambition to care for
Norma, and guide her future, looking
with pride upon her for her faithful
ness to her and Norma's desire to do
what ever her mother told her to do.
She passed this life Saturday, Au-
gust 81, 1910, at 100 pm. She leaves
to morn their loss, a husband, Rev.
Howard L. Moore, devoted adopted
daughter, Norma Moore, three sisters,
Viola Beer, of Columbus, Ohio, Mrs.
Cornelia Sweeney, of Los Angeles,
Cal, and Mrs. Theresa Lee of New
York, a nephew who lived with the
family for some time, Donald Howard,
and two other nieces and two nephews
and her faithful friend, Miss Theresa
Hill of Boston.

What Is Segregation?

Segregation is the special Amer
lean means Of branding Colored
Americans as the interiors Of in
feriors in public 'tatus.
"When the white South found it
self confronted with the federal sta
tus of equality for Colored people,
the former slaves-equality Of cih-
zenship, Of freedom. Of franchise
rights, backed by the national gov
ernment-it selected the denial OF
presence and Of service in places
opened for public patronage as the
one great way to brand Colored
people as haging been a slave race
and make them forever the scorn Of
civil society.
at is a very effective measure.
Colored people are traitors to them
selves to aid and abet the idea by
Self-segregation."

clearing the way, other times making
one grand traffic jam . one of the
snappy dressed boys from out of

turned in a fire alarm which really
broke it up . fire department boys
from all corners of the town seemed to
respond to that call, but all that came
out of it was another traffic jam

lex who inspired the plan of chain
telephone calls on behalf of Bill

on the telephone, called their

read in the papers various politi-

reason was that Petrott insisted
on being Treasurer of the Freder-

And under the law, the treasurer's
