She stood beneath the mistletoe So long I thought she cared; I did not know she’d take it so, Or else I’d never dared. Since Ole Kris Kringle is preparing to visit these parts, we will beat him to it and make our Christmas gifts ahead of schedule. Public figures usually get public plaudits, so we will give them the mythical presents that we believe they would be happy to receive in a public manner. To O. C. Hall we present the song “All’s Well That Ends Well.” To I. Myrtle Carden, a package of “Wheaties” breakfast food so she will always feel fine around nine o’clock in the morning when news folk call. Talmage B. Carey will get, we hope, the book of fairy stories titled, “The Republican Party Is the Ship, All Else Is the Sea.” S. O. Harris should have “How to Keep Americans Interested in Any Forward Movement More Than A Hot Minute.” Geo. S. Schuyler, a pair of boxing gloves to scare off the bad, bad Communists. W. Gertrude Brown needs a book which will describe how she may be in 20 different places at the same time. Harry L. Scott, a bean shooter to aim at I. G. (Sole Owner of My Name) Scott, the 10th ward alderman who thinks nobody with the name of Scott should get political preferment but himself. R. R. Moton probably wants to go some place besides Alabama and while the time away. We imagine he would prefer the north. If he does, he has our permission for Christmas. We recommend as Christmas diversion for W. E. B. Dußois, the movie “Fleeing Fame.” To a certain prominent young woman, the admonition, “Don’t mistake notoriety for popularity.” To the merchants (white) on 38th Street and Fourth Avenue, Sixth Avenue in Minneapolis, and the Rondo Street district in St. Paul, we present the ironbound volume “Reciprocity” in the hope that they will begin the New Year right and give some employment to some of their brown-skinned clientele. The song “You Keep on Talking, But You Don’t Say Nothing” to Kelly Miller and a certain prominent Twin City figure. J. W. Pate needs our best wishes, for he has six more months of battling with the dear brothers. Life is just one battle after another, anyway, eh? So what? Congressman-elect Mitchell needs a sound-proof office to keep a majority of the fourteen million Afrairians from disturbing his wakeful hours. He will find that being “the only Negro” has its manifest disadvantages, if he hasn’t already. Mitchell’s first statement to the press, which Urban League Secretary C. W. Washington spoke of recently, was to The effect that “he intended to name some white boy to the naval academy!” Mr. Washington seemed to think the Negro press was wrong in criticizing Mr. Mitchell. We differ. We, too, think Mitchell’s statement was asinine. With 431 other Congressmen who can and will name white boys, the Democratic Mr. Mitchell comes out with a statement to the effect that he will do the same, phooey! The boxing world is all agog over JOE LOUIS, young Negro fighter, who has suddenly popped into prominence by scoring knockouts in all but two of his bouts. They say the guy can sock with both fists, and should be counted as one of the main contenders for the heavyweight crown. Goody, goody, goody, goody, right now, but it may not be so good if the kid continues to slaughter rivals, and finally gets to the place where he can get a shot at the championship. Negro contenders for boxing titles are usually given the run-around, and get more excuses than they do fights. Small Talk: The grand old game of galloping dominoes got five prominent members of Waiters Union No. 614 in bad last week. Three of the boys, “Gravy” Hayes, Slim Ellis and “Robbie,” took short vacations. B.C. and B.C. also have decided to roll ’em no more on the job. What caused Slim E. To make a hurried trip to Hudson, Wis.? Must have been heart trouble! Have you visited the Morocco Club? The Apex matinee dance was the scene of Miss C. M.’s downfall. The poor little girl couldn’t take it. So she fell down and went boom! The editor’s review of “Old Crusty” in last week’s St. Paul Recorder started off like this, “‘Old Crusty,’ a three-act play... opened the winter season for Minneapolis amateur lovers.” Ye gods, do amateur lovers have seasons too? Jack Pasten’s brother, we don’t know which one has one feminine party all “discussed with life” about him. If you have never tasted one of those Mickey House hamburgers you haven’t tasted nothing yet... The grand rush of the great and near great for invites to the exclusive parties is on. Climbers, social climbers (not porch climbers) are busy trying to lure invites out of members of the most exclusive of Twin City clubs. Joe Louis, the new heavyweight sensation, is a “Mama’s Boy.” They say the lad adores his mother and that he still wears the same size hat! C. M. F. claims 9 out of 10. Africs are ashamed to read one of their news sheets in public. E. A. was all weepy at the Elks Open House the other night. A St. Paul man will soon get a juicy political plum. A Minneapolis man will soon be. S. M. is arrested on a warrant sworn out by the Missus. He is free with his money but not at home. Most married men are on to S. M. and do not trust him. —Countess Cullen. Christmas Thought: For years we have poked fun at Christmas gifts of loud ties, socks, cigars that won’t smoke, etc. Times are so hard this year we promise not to holler no matter how foreign appearing our Christmas gifts are. We wish you a Merrie Ole Christmas. We’ll see you at some of the various shindigs.
