ELLA JOHNSON VICTIM OF PNEUMONIA _ Prominent Member of St. Paul’s Pres byterian Church Passes Away After a Brief Illness. Mrs. Ella P. Johnson, widow of the late Prof. William J. Johnson, died early Friday morning at her home, 3216 Charles street, after five days illness with pneumonia.

Despite the best medical attention she passed quietly and peacefully away Friday morning. Mrs. Johnson was active in religious work, being a prom inent member of St. Paul’s Presby terian church. Mrs. Johnson, whose maiden name was Wells, was bom in Linn county, Kansas, a little over fifty years ago. She was married to Prof. William Joseph Johnson thirty-eight years ago.

PAUL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Twenty-sixth and Seward Streets— Russel Taylor, Pastor. Tlie communion service was very sacred to us Sunday because of the fact that a chair that had never be fore on a communion occasion been vacant was at this time empty. In a vyry large sense the St Paul Presbyterian church may be consider ed as a monument to the late Mrs. Ella P. Johnson, whose funeral oc curred from her residence Monday afternoon. No one had the welfare and the success of the church more to heart than did this noble Christian woman. In every effort previously put forth to establish a Presbyterian church here Mrs. Johnson was a most eager and earnest promoter. Surely we who remain will double our effort in making the work count for Christ in the remembrance of her whom God in His own wisdom lias called to the church above. Our Sunday school is having new awakening. There is a call to young women who are able to Instruct in things pertaining to God. Could there be anything more worthy of consider ation? Let us have more teachers. Services Sunday will be as follows: "An Erroneous Conclusion and What Came of It.” 7:30 p. m: Christian En deavor, topic, "Why Do We Think the Ililile Is the Word of God?” II Tim othy 3:14-17.

I The pastor will preach from “If w« confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from oil sin.” At 7:30 Rev. W. S. Metcalfe will bring us the mes sage.

John son, Ida Riddles and Laura Jefferson are all on the sick list at this writing. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DISCHARGES EMPLOYEES Unsatisfactory Work on Part of One or Two Said to Ite Responsible for Discharge of All. For several years the Omaha Cham ber of Commerce has employed col ored help In the billiard room and as pages and maids. Last Thursday they were served notice that at the end ol the week their services would be dis pensed with and white help substitute!. This action, it is alleged by Mr. Ellis, assistant commissioner, was taken be cause of the failure of two or three of the employees to give satisfactory service after repeated warnings, and inasmuch as he deemed it impractic able to use both colored and white em ployees in this department, his only recourse was to discharge all. Upon being served notice of their coming discharge all seven employees quit Thursday night. Two, Messrs Lan caster and Davis, reconsidered and re turned Friday morning. The Colored Commercial Club at its meeting Thursday night was advised of the contemplated action and a com mittee of three consisting of Dan Des dunes, Rev. John Albert Williams and Rev. Russell Taylor was appointed to visit the Chamber of Commerce, as certain the facts, and see what could be done to retain the satisfactory em ployees and replace the unsatisfactory ones. The committee visited the Chamber of Commerce Friday after noon and was courteously received by Mr. Ellis, who stated the situation to be as outlined above. He said that he had decided to try the experiment of using white help and the abrupt leav ing of the colored employees made it necessary to secure new employees at once. The committee’s visit was there fore rendered futile because of the fact that the colored employees had already quit. This rendered it im possible for the committee to ask for reconsideration of the order of dis charge. Those affected by the change were Albert Lancaster, Arthur Davis, Rich ard Joyner, Ruesel Taylor Jr., and Mesdames Augusta Bascom and Ray lee Jones. Mr. Lancaster had been employed there for several years. The employees, whose work it is al leged was unsatisfactory, claim that there was more work put upon them than they could do and too much was expected of them.

Judy’s young man? Oh, he’» a simpleton 1 So easy-going you'd never think he ever had any trouble in getting whut he wanted, lie comes to see Judy, asks her for u kiss and gets It without the least hit of trouble. She always says 'yes' to whatever he asks. That's what gels me. Always yes! 1 can’t understand her. But 1 know she'll he mighty sorry after she’s married, lie’ll lead her around like a puppy, and she'll have to he as meek uud docile as she is now. 1 wisii she'd open her eyes and say ‘no’ once in a while, so that he’d realize it’s not so easy to get a girl, after all. You know, a girl's got to be mighty careful in order to preserve her self-respect.” So this wus what they thought of her! So this was whut they thought of him, her Martin! Brushing a t^ur off tier burning cheek, Judy hastily left her place of concealment and went to her room. Once there, she flew to the mirror and gazed steadfastly into it. A silly, sentimental little girl gazed back at her. Anger tilled the heart of the silly little girl. “Fool!” she snapped, at the image In the glass. “They’re right. You’ve got to drop that ‘yes' right out of your vocabulury and use ‘no’ for the rest of your life. You’ve got to say ‘no’ to everything he says! He needs some real knowledge, and If you don’t show him you’re more than he thluks you are, you’ll—you'll—” And she shook her tist menacingly at the girl who looked buck at her from the glass. • ••*••• They were sitting on the piano stool In the parlor—Judy and Murtln. She had been playing and he had been singing. He certainly did have a won derful voice, thought Judy, but she neither gave voice to her thoughts, nor did site forget the promise she had mude to her reflection in the mirror. “Judy.” He put his ann around her waist. "Are you going to give me Just one for my song?” "No!” He was astonished. Tills was un like Judy. “Just one?” he repeated. “No, not one.” And she pushed his arm away and chose a chair. He followed her und stood behind her, twisting the little curl that hung from the beautiful, golden pug on her head. “Don't you like me to play with your pretty curl?’ lie asked, in a voice which she thought was oh, so weak and unimportant. “No," she said peremptorily, pinning the attractive ringlet under with a hairpin. "Oh dear!” sighed her heart, “he's got no sense! He isn’t Uke a real lover at all. But,” and she clenched her list determinedly, “he’ll learn. Yes, he’ll learn, If I have to suffer for It.” For the remainder of the evening “No” reigned like a king. It was “No” to this and "No” to that. Everything was “No.” When the unfortunate lover went home that night he hated the man who hud been thoughtless enough to make “n” and “o" a word of the Eng lish language. But “no" imparted a new kind of knowledge to his brain, and that knowledge was made use of the next time lie visited the girl of his heart. An Importunate throb of pain shot through Judy’s heart when she opened the door to her lover a few nights later. She began to feel sorry now. Perhaps—but she would not take back what she hud started out to accom plish. No! He must learn. They could not afford to be called fools by •II who knew them. As Judy looked into his eyes that night she thought she saw a bit of sailness In them, and this bit of sad ness almost caused her to relent when he asked her for “Just one.” But she managed to hold her ground. “No,” she answered. “Do you love me, Judy?” he asked. “No." It was hard, but she had suc ceeded. Suddenly he rose to his feet and con fronted her pleadingly—oh, so like an ardent lover! “Judy!” he exclaimed passionately. “Please—oil, please, stop saying ’no I’ ’’ I think I know now why I've made you so Indifferent. I’ve been too thought less all along. Isn’t that so? Judy, forgive me—I’m sorry for whatever I've done. But you must know I love you, Judy—you’ll never know how much I—and I—” He bent down and lifted her in his arms. “Judy, I can’t live without you. Will you marry me?” "Yes,” she whispered tremulously, letting a tear fall on his shoulder. How She Got Even. A young woman was commissioned by her father to buy some neckties. She thought she knew exactly what he wanted. She was sure she knew what she wanted him to have, and In any event she did not need the assist ance of the clerk. But the clerk had a great deal of advice to give, and he gave it in a flippant, aggressive man ner which was most obnoxious to the young woman. Finally she was shown a line of gorgeous purples. “There," said the clerk, with an Im pertinently knowing smile, “I’m sure he’ll like one of those. All the young men like them.” The girl glanced at them Indiffer ently, nnd then at the young man as If she saw him for the first time. “Oh, he’s not so young ns you are," •he said. “He’s a full-grown man."— Philadelphia Public Ledger.
