tA-HUaBAND OF ABBIE MITCHELL,
NOTED SINGER, REWEDS CHRISTAMAS
CHICAGO Deec 2 (ANP) — Al
though a few months ago when the
report was publishied that a divoree
was contemplated between Ahbie
Mitchell, celebrated songstrees, and
Leslie Anthony Tompkins, New
York postal clerk, there were auick
denials from both parties, Miss
Grace Jcohnson of this city called
together twenty-five of her girl
friends at her home, €147 Indiana
Avene. this week and announced
that she would wed Mr Tompkins
on this Christmas day coming.
Thus it would scem that the
divine diva and her erstwhile
spouse kept the act of their separa
tion and divorce in perfect conceal
ment until Miss Jehnson prepared
to make know her plans.
Mr. Tompkins, was Miss Mit
chell's third husband. They had

Y
BUEEATO N. ¥ Der 2
(ANP)—William Pickens never
had a middle name,—at least not
until November, 1931, when he
reached this city, and the Rev.
Richard A. G. Foster, a young
minister and admirer, told him
what the Pickens “middle name
might he’’,
The four syllables that make
up William Pickens scem sgo short
ind informal that for some years
people have tried to give him a
middle name, for the mere sound
f{ the thing, when introducing
him to audiences or when publish
ing his name on handbills and pla
cards announcing his lectures, At
various times he has been called:
‘Wiliiam F. Pickens”; William C.
Pickens”'; “William Dean Pick
ens”, a sort of perversion of his
former title as dean of a college;
but the most frequent misnomer
has been “William H. Pickens.”

Miss Johnson is 4 Chicago girl, a
pianist of exceptional ability and a
teacher in the local schools. Mr.
Thompkins is thought to have met
her while accompanying Miss Mit
chell to Chicago as her manager.
Miss Mitchell has been living in
Chicago for two years singing on
radio programs for the National
Broadcasting company. She gave up
this work recently to accept the
position of director of the school of
vocal instruction at Tuskegee in

One of Mr. Thompkins' poems, all
which are of lyric quality, was com
posced in the days when he first met
the great singer. It is called “My
Ieart's Aflame” and was set to
music by Willilam L. Dawson. Abbie

the dean thought he would start
a little fun by asking some one in
the audience to tell him what the
“H” stands for, “since his mother
and father never gave him any
middle names.” Whereuupon the
much-initialed Rev. R, A. G. Fos

against “‘His Majesty Satan” by
raisioge a doubt as to the material
existence of “His Majesty’'s Em

ninisters had entered into a con

Columbia, 8. C. Dec. 2—(ANP)—
Just before Thanksgiving T. B. Rip
ley, not the Believe-1t-Or-Not ex
plorer, was a more or less happy
rman with something. though little
to be thankful for. But right after
Thanksgivina, Mr. Riplev had noth
int at a'l to be thankful for and
blamed upon an idle mind in which
ol' Satan had been working the
covies of misfortunes which befell
hira.
For. before Thanksgiving, Ripley
was a trusty, doing odd jobs with
the chainzang on the Leesburg
road. But the truety's heel began to
itch and he walked off. Seventeen
miles further on, at Bookman, he
noticed a store owner closipng up
for the evening and the devil in Mr
Ripley’'s mind told him he ought te
wait and try his luck on that store
later on. He did. He was successful
The next morning he entered an
other store, loaded down with a
part of his swag-four hundred
pennies. He asked the proprietor,
who happened to be a justice of the
justice of the peace. if he would
zive him some silver pieces for the
pennies. The justice of the peace
became suspicious at the sight of a
colored gentleman bearing so many
pennies, When he sought to oues
tion Mr. Riplev. the latter made a
pass &t him and fled But Ripley
was slower a-foot than the justice
was in his automobile.
