MRS. 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. She com
plained of feeling ill Saturday night,
but did not think it serious enough to
call a physician until Sunday night,
who pronounced her case 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. The family moved to
Omaha from Topeka, Kansas, in 1904.
She is survived by her son, Winfred
J., a grandson, Albert; two sisters,

Wis., and Mrs. Georgia McCoy, of
Lewiston, Mont., and other relatives.
The funeral was held from the family
residence Monday afternoon, at two
o’clock, the Rev. Russell Taylor offi
ciating. Interment was at Forest
Lawn.
ST. 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.
ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH
25th and R St. Market 3475
O. J. Burckhardt, Pastor.
Sunday at 11 a. m. the pastor
preached on “Ye are my friends if
you do whatsoever I command you."
At 7:30 Rev. A. Rayford preached a
good practical sermon full of common
sense. The Sunday School under the
superintendency of Wm. Carter and
his officers and teachers is making
worthwhile progress. Miss Ruby
Redd makes the League work interest
ing as president. Rev. J. A. Harris
comes around in time to put real pep
in our League discussions. We ex
pect a great day Sunday at 11 a. m.
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. We wish the stranger would
continue to make our church their
headquarters for religious services.
Mother Helm, Deaconess Sarah Se
vere, Sarah Jones, Mrs. O. W. 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.

“Who? 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."—
