DR. WM. T. VERNON, A. M. LL. JJ.
President of Campbell College, Jackson, Miss., who has Just com
pleted a. tour of 8,000 miles through the great Northwest and who preached
an impressive and eloquent sermon at Allen Chapel on last Sunday morn
ing to an audience that taxed the capacity of that spacious building. Dr.
Vernon is engaged in raising $10,000 for his Institution and Is having re
markable success.
A SUCCESSFUL PHYSICIAN.
No physician In either of the Kan
sas Cities has built up a more lucra
tive practice nor achieved such re
markable success In so short a time
as has Dr. H. C. Hayden, who resides
at 945 Everett avenue, Kansas City,
Kas., and who has an elegant suite
Of offices at Fourth and Minnesota
B venue. Dr. Hayden came to Kansas
ilty, Kas., In 1907, after graduating
with high honors from Weharry Med
ical College of the class of '07, and
In belngjsuccess'ful in curing some of
the -most difficult cases in Kansas
City, 'Kas., and 'Argentine, he began
at onco to build up a large practice
in these two cities. There are sev
eral people in Greater Kansas City
who constantly sing the praises of
Dr. Hayden and say after they had
been given up by several other well
known physicians, he was able to re
store them to complete health and
each one of these happy persons be
came a walking advertisement for
this brilliant young physician. He
married Miss Bstelle AVilson, a popu
lar and accomplished teacher in the
Douglass School, and so large has his
practice become that he was com
pelled recently to purchase a hand
some new Hudson automobile In or
der to be able to reach quickie his
numerous patients. He and his esti
mable wife are exceedingly popular
among all classes and they are both
of that kind and friendly temperament
that has won them a host of friends.
They have two valuable residences,
besides the beautiful home in which)
they reside, one at 1403 Ni 10th street
and the other at 2816 N. Qth street,
both of which are rqnted to splendid
tenants and for which he -receives a
neat Income. Dr. Hayden's phenome
nal success should be an inspiration
to every competent and aspiring
youn? man and that suocess which he
has achieved In, such a large degree
can ho found only by earnest appli
cation to duty and constant devotion
to one's profession. The Negroes of
the two Kansas Cities are proud of

ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOR THE DELMdNIGp,C'AFE
1512 E. Eighteenth St.
We are practically in the very spirit of Easter. As the Delmonico
has always led in everything that spells service for the Cafe patron
so today we are offering unusual advantages and accommodations
that eclipse anything we have been able to offer in the past. Recent
improvements have made it possible for us to serve our customers
more efficiently and satisfactorily than ever. The already spacious
dining room has been made even larger. A fine appearing partition
now separates the Bakery Display" from the Cafe proper. "Wo be
lieve this departure will please the general public since anyone desir
ing to purchase Uakery Goods only, need not feel the least embar
rassed in coming in. (This part of our business is highly Appreciated,
itiul we feel deeply grateful that Ave are playing so large a part in the
economic life of the bread consumer.) Whereas, the exclusive Cafe
patron, by our new appointment and arrangement, can enjoy an in
creased privacy. We have also added another Institution in our new
plan. It is music, High Class Entertainment. This will be ren
dered Sunday afternoons and every evening.. It will be a permanent
part of our standard service. Remember, Easterites! The day will
be incomplete without dinner at the DELMONICO. Realizing this
we have prepared an elaborate menu wljich is both allliring and ap
petizing, the same being served at a popular price."

MASONIC.
It Is to be regretted that the
Masonic bodies of Kansas City
have not taken up the Idea of
making an annual sermon display.
It was argued strongly years ago
and Is now believed by many pro
fanes that Masonry Is a non-re-llglous
cult. Nothing would serve
a better purpose in "efuting such
a misnomer than' a proper service
once each year. The Grand Lodge
a few years ago went pn record as
endorsing the Idea and even sug
gested a day for the, observance.
In a few points in the Jurisdiction
the plan fs followed with gratify
ing results.
It Is true that Masonry Is a con
servative art and has never de
pended upon any sort of vain show
for holding Its place In the public
esteem, but It is also true that
any unreasonable conservatism is
calculated to work more harm
than good and this seems to be1 a
point whereupon the practical Bide
might be very sensibly observed.
Masondy is a strictly religious In
stitution. The world should not
only be told ths but ,)L should be
openly shown Jjy a" iJwiial'."ib3erv
ance at least once a year. 'vAll
bodies and branches of the craft,
male and female, Uniting In such
a demonstration annually would
not- only serve to extol the cause
of Christ but would further exalt
the glory of the oldest secret In
stitution in the world.

EASTER
(In n 1 WiMv -MMIIo,. atvtn S '
(With due apologies to that truly
great writer, by C. A. Starks.)
I see the swarthy maiden bending
up and down In her mistress' wash
tub,
I hear her singing merrily along as
she sweeps tho great halls, and as
she prepares the noon lunch, I see her
slaving all day for a pittance, and hie
her weary self toward homo In the
evening, long after twilight.
I see her shopping on Thursday af
ternoon. In the cheap and common
stores? Oh' no! But there, -where
only the rich can afford. She lingers
long, pondering over an expensive
garment.
I see her place her small mite upon
the counter saying: "This for me,
and no other, though it costs a hun
dred." I hear this ejaculation and
feel pained for I know she will sacri
fice. I see her making weekly trips to
pay the purse-stralnlng price, laying
upon the vain glorious altar, her very
all, and I wonder what great Influence
Impels her on.
I see the African youth moved by
the same force, struggling and schem
ing and screaming to purchase a new
spangled suit, thus seeking to spread
his last dollar as a garment on his
back, and I wonder -what It means.
I see that long looked for Easter
morn as It is ushered upon the city.
The Sun In golden rays smiles its ap
proval on earth (that is maybe) and
I hegin to understand just -why all
this preparation.
I see Church-Hill and its army of
embellished ones, running to and fro
from church to church displaying the
latest vlllany in dress creation, and
am astonished with the multifarious
designs and styles worn bythe choco
late gentry. ,
I seo (perhaps) these fluffy gar
ments stirred by inclement breezes
that seem cruel to the willow-like ones
and even the well decked amazon suf
fers difficulty in retaining her equi
poise when these ungentle zephyrs
play havoc -with her 'lovely gown and
ungraciously discovering hosiery even
to the non-perspective eye.
I see tho elite of the town In triple
colors of black, brown and yellow.
Brilliant dames and beautiful dam
sels, seasoned men and fair youths
and ! hear them chattering about lit
tle things, the resurrection? Not one.
The Ascension? Not a soul. My
heart grows weary with this as I see
and am dissatisfied because all Is
vanity.

Seven Last Words of Christ," by Du
bois, Thursday night, was one of tho
most musical and artistic treats of
tho year. More than 600 persons,
among whom were quite a few of tho
leading white people of the city,
heard this delightful program and
"were loud In their praises of its' ex
cellence. The management and' ar
rangements were In the hands of that
cultured, accomplished and tireless
worker in her distinguished husband's
church, Mrs. Dr. S. W. Bacote, and It'
Is needless to say that every detail
was carefully arranged.
Mrs. Bacote deserves all the splen
did compliments she received on this
magnificent presentation and she is
a distinct and valuable aBset to the
race in this city. ,J" .
The soloists were Mesdames li. J.

P. Flchne, tenors, and F. Wright and

A beautiful souvenir program from

and today all who were present are
loud in their praise of Dr. and Mrs.
Bacote.

Smith's Drug Store. We are dancing
tho Tango, -we are singing the Tango,
wo are weajing the Tango apparel,
and why not beserved a Tango Sun
dae, bubbling over with dellclousness
on a blazer? It contains a dainty
marshmellow, a tiny loaf of sugar
surrounded by a blaze which reminds
you of the volcano Saqura Yima In
full eruption, candled cherries, a la
nuts, strawberries to suit the taste
and bananas to remind you of the ba
nana glide. While eating it it reminds
you of the Titanic going down, tso
come on and have one because you
can't get away from it."
The third prize, a year's subscrip
tion to the Kansas City Sun, was won
by Attorney W. B. Bruce of 117 West
