Told How To
Treat Wife

PHILADELPHIA CAMP Bob
Montgomery, former lightweight
boxing champion and the much
hearalded Fighting bobcat" was
discharged by Magistrate Thomas
Costello last week at a further
hearing as he faced charges of
assault and battery brought on by
his wife, Mallie.
Montgomery was arrested Mon
day in his pool room by Con-
stable Robert Shore. At the first
hearing last Tuesday Bob was
held in $500 bail for a further
hearing.
Mrs. Montgomery failed to ap-
pear Tuesday as prosecutor and
instead, the magistrate gave Bob
a 20 minute lecture on how to
treat his wife. He told Montgo-
merry that he should leave the
fighting business outside his home
and treat his wife with utmost re-
spect in that she had suffered
through his fights and trials in
the ring as we'll as in the usual
struggles for life.
Bob was solemn as he stood
quietly before the rail and listen
ed. Spectators gathered about and
listened intently as Costello point
ed tothe element of "human kind
ness" which he called vital in a
happy marriage. He urged Bob to
practice the courtesies due his
wife and to be kind at all times.

1926 featherweight title against
Sandy Saddler, the Harlem "Hat-
chetman". According to the ad-
vance publicity, this may turn
out to be a ":grudge fight" be-

squared arena, and someone is
going to get hurt in that Is

ing to many at the ring side on
that night Saddler had the better

officials in charge of the scoring,
Pep was the winner and won back
the title. However, getting back
to the first encounter, Saddler
made Pep look like he had been
through a meat grinder, the way
he was cut up and later knocked
out in the fourth round. Sandy

The prettiest flower that ever did

It was watered each day with

And brought joy to the one who
cared for it there.
A Gardener came to the garden.

In search of a flower so lovely

In His Garden was place pre-

For it to bloom in His tender care.

Where the flower once bloomed,

Because Of its beauty it brought
joy to all,
A flower that we can never recall.

Finished Novelist
f1G58-Ia22l

Finished Novelist
f1S58- 1892
Gustave Flaubert is credited
with creating the modern novel.
Charles w. Chestnut is perhaps
the first colored American to use
the modern novels technique. He
got his breakwhen Thomas Bailey
Aldrich, editor of the Atlantic
Monthly, in 1887 accepted his
short story, 'The Goophered
Grapevine" His widespread ac-
claim encouraged him to keep on
writing. His residence in North
Carolina, as teacher furnished
him with material.
The first fruit Of his creative
writing was his collection Of
seven folk tale. known as 1.-THE
Conjure Woman" appearing
twelve years later in the year
1899. These stories are slanted
from the white mans point Of
view His best boost came. from
the dean of American literary
critics who said, 1T is not from
their racial interest that we could
wish to speak Of them, though
that must have a great and very
just claim upon the critics. 1t is
much more simple and direct, as
works Of art, that they make their
appeal, and we must allow the
force of this quite independently
of the other interests
In one way or another his short
stories dealt with problems Of
mulattoes and their impact on
American civilization. He had this
to say of his own creations:
"As matter of fact substan-
TALLY all my writings =. nave
dealt with the problems Of mixed
blood which, while in the main
the same as the full black, are IN
some instances and in some re-
spects much more complex and
difficult of treatment" In writ
ing about the problems Of mixed
blood he observed one Of the
fundamental principles of crea-
tive writings: to write above all
about the thing one knows best
and feels the deepest about.
Short story writin. paved the
way for his conquest Of novel
technique It is the opinion Of
the great literary critic Of our
literature, Benjamin Brawley,
that 1.-THE House Behind the
Cedars," is Chesnut's best novel.
Its theme is the temptation to
pass. The scene is laid in a small
Southern town. Rena Walden, a
beautiful young woman, leaves
her home town to join her brother

The pillows, they roll on every known side,
The lights on the buoys are red.
Our captain, intrepid and dauntless was he;
A pilot trustworthy and true;
Were he only here now to chart our course
He'd steer us away from the shoals
For great are the stakes which justly are ours,
Bought with our martyrs blood ~

None can question loyalty!

Who like Trotter of old, will champion our cause
