But no one knows whether he ever got there or not--Because something happened. He appeared to be a stranger, of the African race, deacon type, and under one arm he carried a basket. As he put a size 12 shoe on the street car step the conductor yelled in a soft voice "board." Stimultaneously a plymouth rock hen poked her head out of the basket as if the voice was a signal for a formal declaration of suffrage rights, etc. "Jes' a secur', boss, wait "till I sup- press mah Sadie." But the car started and so did "Sadie." Now "Sadie" was clever but she was flirting with fate for around her neck circled a white string which sailed in the air as she and the "deacon" performed a marathon around the depot. A crowd at the depot applauded the chase. Each time the "deacon" pounced on "Sadie'es" nimble frame they cheered. And each time the "deacon" had only a handful of tail feathers. "Sadie's" once gorgeous plumes now began to resemble a lilac bush with the foliage withered but she maintained her original pace. And then fate intervened. The "deacon" stepped on the loose end of the flying string and the valiant hen stopped abruptly. She cackled. She jumped. She strangled. But to no avail For after all, "Sadie" was only a hen. One automobile stage line operating out of Los Angeles, Cal, has 67 bus- es and. carries over 800 passengers daily. MAN OF 1000B. C. LIKE MAN OF 1920 Rev. Richards Tells Congregational Church Class that in Human In- terest Men of Old are Like Present Day Type If there had been announced a series of lectures on inscriptions in Aramaic a century after Solomon, or on Egyptian burial ceremonials in the time of Famases, or Babylonian musical instruments in the 9th Cen- tury B. C, an eredite audience, as small as it was learned, would have been expected last Sunday at the Congregational church. The fifty-two persons in attendance at the church at 4:30 o'clock for the first of Rev. Richards' studies in the book of Hosea attested their belief in the present-day interest of this Old Test- ament prophet. They were people looking for helpful guidance and stimules in a commonplace, everyday, modern life. They showed their be- lief that human emotions, pain, joy, grief, hope, confidence, are similar at every time and place; that in human interest the man of ten cen- turies B. C. ic not different from the mau of twenty centuries A. D. Rev. Richards, in sketching the political, commercial, social and re- ligious background of Hosea, des- cribed matter-of-fact conditions that infringed upon life with all the de- finiteness of express trains and steam heating. Tie address was largely introduct- ory as the promise of intimate dis- cussion of present problems seems still larger in such themes as "Pub- lic ruin resulting from moral defeat" and "Discipline," according to the speaker. There is nothing very an- cient or reniote about the study for next Sunday as suggested by the query, "Is revelation still going on?" and nothing could have a more COME ON! BUDDIES! OLD BATTERY E WANTS YOU R-- In order that there may be "no vacant chairs" at a dinner to be given March 23 at the Palmer House in Chicago, for ali the members of Battery E, 333rd field artillery, the promoters are canvassing Wilmette, Winnetka, Kenilwcrth ~nd Glencoe in +n effort to rour:d up all the stragglers.

Slown of Kenilworth, who is trying to serve invitations on all the "buddies" of Battery E, has asked that one who served at any time with the battery can get into communication with him at the Ken- ilworth Motor, company. Many of! the addresses of the members have become lost. The dinner and recep- tion will be at 7 o'clock. N. J. FELLOWS REGISTERED OPTICIAN Eyes Tested.

To pique interest in the dis- cussion the speaker suggested that those who attend next Sunday find the opportunity to read in advance the first three chapters of Hosea. Rev. Richards emphasized the op- portunity of his audience to question and suggest. (This, he said, affords a splendid chance to the many, whether religiously identified or not who for themselves and others are sincerely demanding a religious interpretation of life recast in the light of the most modern events.
