That \(/as Dtjlerent

The little darkey boy picked his melon in the field while the morning dew was still upon it-at which time the heart of the melon is as cold as though it had been refrigerated for days-broke it open on a convenient rock, and then proceeded to gorge himself on the cold and luscious fruit. It was a big melon, and he \ ras a grand melon eater, but even his unusual capacity for one so small was inadequate for this job. And finally when he had to quit, bloated and almost groaning from the weight of tonnage he had swallowed, there was still about one-third of the big melon left uneaten.

The white man who had watched this valiant effort with much amusement, said to the colored boy:

"What's the matter, Mose? Too rnuch melon?"

"Nossuh ! Nossuh !" replied Mose. ,'Dey couldn't be too much melon. Dey jes' ain't enuff niggah, dass all."

East B.y Hoo Hoo Club Temporarily Suspend Activities

Secretary Carl Moore says "A No. 39 meeting is always B & Better," and it can be said that the last meeting before the vacation season held June 12 at the Athens Athletic Club, Oakland, was well up to the fine standard the club has maintained for a number of years.

Music was furnished at intervals during dinner and Iater by "Tom" Tomlinson at the piano, assisted by Dr. Eveleth of San Francisco on the.banjo, and their numbers were heartily appreciated.

Waldeck and Kish, a comedy pair from the Fulton Theater, Oakland, amused the crowd with their ofiering. Waldeck's stories and imitations of musical instruments and Miss Kish's singing made a big hit.

The speaker of the evening was Theodore H. Lachelt of the Lachelt Travel Service, Oakland, who showed some fine motion pictures of the Century of Progress Exposition at Chicago, and travelogue films of a trip through the Panama Canal and a trip from Banfi to Vancouver through the Canadian Rockies. Mr. Lachelt's running comment on the scenes as shown was much enjoyed, especially his description of the unique methods of construction used in the World's Fair buildings, and the marvelous illumination system which, he said, is alone worth a trip to the fair.

J.W. H. Meyer, Eastman Kodak Co., Oakland, operated the motion picture machine.

It was announced that another lumbermen's University Extension Course will be given this fall at Berkeley, with Professor Emanuel Fritz again in charge. The starting date will be announced later.

There will be no meeting of the club during July.

L. J. Woodson presided in the absence of President Earle Johnson.
