(Lincoln News Service) Several smokers looked up with surprise when they heard the porter conversing in a foreign tongue with a gentelman who seemed to he on terms of close friendship with the railroad man, and when he had gone forward to answer a ring from number eight, an inquisitive gent, with the emblem of a Greek letter fraternity in his coat lapel, turned to the porter’s friend and said: “I see that your porter friend is a foreigner? Where is he from?” “Oh, no; he’s a real American,” was the dry response. “Well, may I inquire what language you and he were conversing in?” con tinued the curious one. “Portuguese,” was the curt reply. “Pardon me,” continued the Greek letter man, “and I hope you will not think that I mean to be impolite, but it merely seemed to me that the lan guage sounded a bit strange. French, German, or even Italian would have seemed to be in more common use among real Americans.” “Well,” responded the porter’s friends, ”Jim speaks those languages also; but we chose Portuguese just then because of the confidential na ture of our conversation, knowing that we were more likely to encounter travelers who understood French or German than we were to find those who could understand Portuguese. Even so,” he added with a laugh, “you may not have any doubts that English is still our preference.” The Greek letter man resumed his cigar, but it was very apparent that his curiosity was fai< from satisfied. He fingered his watch fob for a while, and then, after the porter had come back and spoken a hasty sentence or two, this time in German, turned and asked: “Where’s the porter from? I never knew but one colored man who could speak German as fluently as that; and he was the college baseball player whom our team refused to take the field' when we' came north about six years ago. His team, and especially the captain, loyally stood by him, ind the game was called off; but not inti! he had said some pretty hard things to our coach who was from Germany, in his own language. And even though I was pretty sore myself at the idea of a colored man playing on a university baseball team, which had booked playing dates with the best colleges of the south, I could not help from admiring his versatility of speech.” / “Well,” replied the porter’s conver sationalist, “this is the same colored man whom you met on the baseball field.” "I see,” replied the Greek letter man. “And that goes to show the foolishness of it all, for with all his many languages, which he doesn’t really need, he’s still only a railroad porter; and, in fact, is much more useful in that capacity than he would be in any other.” ‘No, you’re quite mistaken,” res ponded the porter’s friend, with a sar castic smile. “Jim’s an interpreter at the Port of New York, at an excellent salary, and he was given special per mission to make this trip, as a porter, to assist me in writing a feature story which the Pullman Company is going to publish in its advertising pamphlets. To make everything real istically true, each of us is filling the role of an actual character, and we’re taking close observations of all the passengers whom we are meeting on this trip. Watch the papers and you may see something about yourself.” “But, who are you?” gasped the Greek letter man in astonishment. “Pm advertising specialist for the Pullman Company—and, by the way,” he added, with a revengeful smile, “Pm the former captain of that same baseball team which you refused to play against six years ago.” And I quickly raised my newspaper before my face to keep the Greek let ter man from seeing me laugh. BETHEL A. Iff. E. CHURCH Sunday was a very interesting day for Bethel. The pastor, Rev. Freder ick Divers, was back in the pulpit after three weeks absence, during which time he and wife attended the Genera! Conference in Louisville, Ky. The Sunday school work is growing and we are getting ready for our Daily Vacation Bible School which will convene the last of July. There was one accession at the morning service, and the evening services were well attended. Next Sunday is communion day again and rally day at which time we are asking our friends to come and be with us. At the evening service there will be an educational program rendered. Miss Edna S'ratton of the V. W. C. A. will speak, and there will be other numbers and special music. “A NAUTICAL KNOT” DELIGHTS VERY LARGE AUDIENCE AT HRANDEIS The Operetta Given By Forty Stu dents Under Direction of Mrs. Pinkston Scores a Success The beautiful Brandeis Theatre was comfortably filled by a cultured and appreciative audience on Wednesday night when Mrs. Florentine F. Pink ston, presented forty of our univer sity and high school students in the delightful operetta, “A Nautical Knot” or ‘‘The Belle of Bamstapoole.” It was a brilliant success from every point of view. The young people who presented it had been diligently prac ticing and rehearsing for the past four months and the successful pres entation, which delighted the audience showed the results of this hard work. They had been drilled in music by Mrs. Pinkston and in dramatics and acting by Andrew Reed. Every par ticipant threw himself into his ar her part with an enthusiasm, naturalness and ease which gave an air of genuine reality to the perfoAnance. The solo parts were good and the chorus work excellent. In some cases the accom panist was too loud for the voices, which detracted somewhat from the solo work. Excellent taste was shown in the costuming and staging. Miss Dorothy Williams, as “Julia" the haughty belle of Bamstapoole, ad mirably sustained this character, read ing her lines well, and while she has not a strong voice her notes were true and she sang her part with decided expression. Weldcm Solomon, as “Baraabus Lee,” the artist, acted the part to perfection, and used his fine tenor voice well; “Nance” a dainty maid, and sweetheart of “Joe Stout,” which was excellently impersonated by Jesse Ilutten interpreted her part with feeling and intelligence. “Dor cas” her friend, was admirably im personated by Miss Dorcas Jones, whose wonderful voice was used with telling effect in the duet between her and Nance. As “Bill Salt,” an old tar, John Pegg could not have been improved upon. He acted the part to perfec tion and used his fine bass voice with telling effect. Delia, Daisy, Dora, Flora and Nora, girls of Bamstapoole were impersonated with grace and | naturalness by the Misses Frances D. Gordon, Madeline Shipman, Thel ma Shipman, Ernestine Singleton and Louise Taylor; and Jim Spray, Neb Bluff, Jack Brace, Bob Blow, Steve Wind and Dave Wave, sailors on “The Bounding Billow” were admirably re presented by Wm. Taylor, Joseph Dor sey, James Lewis, Gerald Adams, Al bert Taylor and Lovejoy Crawford. The five wandering artists who pro voked the jealousy of the Bamsta poole sailors, were well impersonated by Messrs. Dillard Crawford, Dwight Dorsey, Arthur McCaw, Sabert Hang er, and Worthington Williams, *Vno had the classy names of Reggie Ru bus, Millet Mauve, Sebastin Stately, Pastel Easel and Chauncey Coleur. The townspeople and Bamstapoole girls, were impersonated by the Miss es Jean Dorsey, Grace Dorsey, Alma Webster, Robbie Turner, Ruby Evans, Dorothy and Elizabeth Allen, Rachel Rice, Virginia Jackson, Constance Singleton, Grace Adams, Aline Bur nette, Inez Battles, Louise Scott, Mel va McCaw, Helen Redd, Katey Cheney and Sybil Merrifield. ] I As Carmetta the Spanish dancing , girl, Miss Louise Taylor was grace ful and Sabert Hanger as her cruel master well sustained the character. The Horn Pipe Dance by the sailors was a pleasing feature. Preceding the operetta, “The Awak ening of Spring,” a beautiful dance number was presented by thirty chil dren who had been trained by Miss Teresa Jones, The children were cos tumed as flowers. Miss Margaret Bell represented “The Fairy;” Miss Constance Singleton, the Sun Dance Sprite; Little Carmelita Black, the Rain Dance Sprite, and Masters Al ger Adams and Lawrence Burnette, bees. The flowers were Vera Walton, Ellen Richardson, Oletha Serrant, Helen Singleton, Helen Sherwood, Margaret Dickerson, Mary Ellen Dick erson, Mercedes Ferguson, Margory Edwards, Sylvia Adams, Marie Smith, Edrose Willis, Mary Willis, Celestine Smith, Catherine Williams, Willa Hayes, Ruth Pegg, Helen Jenkins, Vera Chandler, Charlotte Hicks, Grace Adams, Dorothy Allen, Aline Bur nette, Melva McCaw, Louise Scott and Lavaina Scott. “Life Atom” Discovery Finds “Pep” in Orange New York.—Prof. Calvin S.

Rx Is an element which combines with everything except Itself. He him self has Isolated an atom of It and weighed It, but ordinarily It can be measured only by Its effects on some thing else. Owing to Its virtually universal af finity, It Is found everywhere. It is Rx that enables a person In good health to ! wiggle his fingers in a masterful way when he Beeks to stop a Fifth avenue bus. It Is Rx which enables him to see ; and hear, if It was not for Rx, he would be a clod or a statue. Rx Is the vital atom. !!
