Xiied in Attempt to Save Pet. % i v Determined etforts by ladies of high social position to smuggle pet dogs without license into England were recently described to a representative at the diseases of animals branch of the board of agriculture, London. It takes the combined intelligence of Scotland Yard and the customs officials to out-maneuver some dog lovers. Recently, on board a ^teamer crossing to England, a foreign princess was seated on a deck stool and a wind was blowing. A shrewd observer, whose duty it was to be inquisitive with his eyes, happened to catch sight for a moment of a little dog's wagging tail. On landing the lady, in reply to the usual questions, said she had nothing to declare. "No dog, madame?" "Certainly not." "Then," said her questioner, "I must send for the female searcher to have your statement verified." "In that case," said the lady, "if you will allow me a couple of minutes by myself I'll produce my little dog.'' Which she did. i > WILL RELEASE NEGROES. Appeal From Farmers to Be Answered. Washington, June S.?Negro agri- cultural and industrial workers, serving at present in labor battalions in 1 Southern camps, and much needed just now in their home communities, will be released from the army as rapidly as they can be replaced with hired civilians, according to assurances given Senator Dial by the war department. Urgent representations were recently made by the South Carolina senator to the secretary of war concerning the acute labor shortage on farms in his Sta'te and also in various industrial activities. Many of these men. expecting discharge early in the spring, had crops put into the ground for them and both the men and their landlords will suffer loss unless the men can get out of the army in the near future. Secretary < Baker showed interest in the special problems presented and had the matter investigated by a -South Carolinian, Major General Henry Jervey, assistant chief of staff and director of operations. General Jervey has written to Senator Dial as follows: "In this connection permit me to advise you that the war department appreciates the necessity of the return of these negro laborers to their home communities and to the industrial interests which they left when they entered the military service. It is the intention of the department to release them just as rapidly as their services can be spared. Many have already been replaced by hired civilians, and camp commanders now have instructions from the war department to replace the negro labor battalions at their respective camps by hiring civilians. This will be done just as soon as the civilians can be obtained. The war department desires to assure you that it is endeavoring to reduce its military establishment as rapidly as possible, for it is readily understood that such reduction is in accordance with public desire everywhere throughout the country, and that it will relieve at the same time the labor situation in certain lines of industry and also will result in a saving of federal funds. "The war department has a practical problem in the matter of re- i turning and demobilizing the troops from abroad, and must maintain the necessary personnel to accomplish this and also provide the means connected with the preservation of government property and caring for the best interests of the government." m i > ? Model Town for Negroes. A model town, constructed by the ; government exclusively for negroes, was formerly opened with appropriate ceremonies Sunday at Truxton. Va., as the new town is known, took its place on the map as a suburb of i Portsmouth. Built, primarily as a war measure to aid the great Hampton Roads naval base, the 224 buildings in the little town will not be sold immediately by the government i but will be rented from $16 to $18 monthly. The town is one of the 24 housing : projects the United States housing corporation is rapidly completing i throughout the country for the government, representing a returnable value of more than $25,000,000 and consisting 'of 6,000 houses and 64 apartments which by the end of June : will be returning $2,500,000 per ' year in rentals to the government. : Final disposition of the houses rests with congress. Truxton covers 90 acres and con- tains six store buildings which it is proposed to operate under a stock company formed by the tenants. Members of the negro race are taking great interest in Truxton and a negro < advisory commission under T. C. Irwin, supervisor of negro economics for Virginia, is co-operating. Industrial concerns throughout the country < also are watching the experiment j with a view to similar provision for ? housing negro workers. ] < < i ? ( A Time-Table Change. " C On a certain suburban line one < train was taken off and another rd- ( tered suddenly. So the station mas- J ter told hisassistant, whose name ] happened to be Pat, to give notice of the chanee to nassensers who were waiting. Soon he heard an uproar, and on going outside heard Pat repeat at < the top of his lungs: "This is to inform ye all that on and after tomorrow the 10 o'clock train will shtart at noine-thirty, and ( there will be no last train." m m ? The Perfect Come-Back. i "Willie, your master's report of 1 I your work is very bad. Do you know , that when Woodrow Wilson was your < age he was head of the school?" "Yes,-pa; and when he was your . age he was president of the United States." OLD MISSIONARY PRAYERS. Early Baptists Folowed Judson's Carreer With Faith and Hojk?. A few days ago, says the editor of The Watchman-Examiner, a deacon in a church of which we were once pastor, died at the age of more than 90 years. He was a man of strong mind and a remarkably tenacious memory, and his recollections of experiences and events happening very early in his life were clear and interesting. He was born in 1S19, two years before Adoniram Judson went to Burma, and while he could not, of course, remember that event, he did remember the interest that characterized the Christians at home during the earlier years of his work the^e. His father was a pious farmer in the State of New York, in whose home ^1? r -"i - nitfl. tiA o cot n n n i!? h t lilt; 1 ct JLii 11* alien ??ac and morning. Our friend said that among his earliest recollections was that of hearing his father pray every night and every morning, "God bless Brother Judson, and give him a convert soon." Whatever else was in the prayer or was omitted from it, that petition never failed. It was always there. Then one day, when the boy was about nine years old, his father came home from the postoffice, driving at a rather undeaconly gait, and leaping from the wagon ran into the house waving a newspaper over his head. "Mother! Mother!" he shouted, excitedly, "there's a convert! There's a convert at last!" And sure enough, in the paper?probably The Christion Watchman, which was the only Baptist journal in existence at that time?there was the account of the baptism by Mr. Judson of Moung Xau, the first Burmese convert to the 'Christian faith, which had occurred at Rangoon June 27, 1828. Our friend recalls that for days his father and mother could talk of little else, and that* other members of the church were as much excited over the news as they. Of course, with the greatly broadened work and the immensp results of missinnarv ODera tions in our day it would be impossible to preserve this deep personal interest in particular persons or fields; but what a difference it would make both to the work and to the development of Christians at home if interest in the cause and sympathy with the affection for the workers were maintained as real and vital as in those earlier and simpler days! To many of us missions and missionaries are mainly a programme. The element of personal relation is lacking. ?Springfield Republican. Hate you ever tried Carter's "Pencraft," the best ink made?
