The American Citizen

THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. The Oldest Negro Paper devoted to the Race in this Section From the River to the Ends of the Earth. By Dr. John App. Zeigler. The tourist from the Middle West will appreciate the above caption if he has threaded his way through and access the backbone of the Rockies, and called a halt in the land of the Setting Sun. In traveling from Kansas City and the Big Muddy, where summer and winter play hide and seek four months in the year, to California, the land of sunshine and flowers, where summer lasts all winter, and where there is perpetual spring, one experiences a delightful shock—a sensation that at first seems topsy-turvy, but that appeals to one as does the urge of the enchanted land. Starting from Kansas City late in November, in a palatial tourist Pullman, over the superb roadbed of the Union Pacific, we passed Denver and Dearne to Ogden enjoying our Thanksgiving feast a-la-basket. Every foot of the way is interesting—the snow-sheds, and the snow-crowned Rocky range that skirts the track for many miles. From Ogden, our course lay over the plains and through the Sierras, with the Southern Pacific, to San Francisco, and on the Coast Line to Los Angeles and Long Beach, our destination. The cut-off across Salt Lake, is an achievement worthy of the enterprise the deservedly popular Southern Pacific. The roadbed, with piles driven a solid foundation and filled in with rock and concrete, has become a compact, rock wall, over which, for more than twenty miles, the train speeds through the briny waters of the mountain lake. San Francisco, the forlorn, stricken city! I shall not attempt to describe the wreckage. What appeals to me more, even, than the awfulness of the scene of destruction, is the spirit of pride and the contagious, hopeful enterprise that has wrought so much in so brief a time. The streets have been cleared, and on every hand buildings are in process of construction—many of them temporary, to accommodate the vast volume of business, but here and there substantial concrete and brick business blocks bid defiance to the croakers that speak of San Francisco as the doomed city. The Coast Line of the Southern Pacific from San Francisco to Los Angeles, is a revelation to one who travels it for the first time, and to such as have come this way before it is a source of multiplying delight. There is no land quite so inviting to the tourist, for geniality of climate, as Southern California, and the numerous charming spots along the coast make the sea shore superior even in California, as the Nation's playground. It is difficult to decide in favor of any one place as the most charming of all the delightful spots in California, and it is just as difficult justly to discriminate in selecting a location for a home or for profit; yet such discrimination must be made if the most desirable results are to be achieved. In future correspondence, we shall have something to say in this regard that may be of interest to prospective tourists or to those seeking investment or a home. I shall be pleased, for a slight consideration, to make investigation and to answer inquiries respecting conditions in Southern California, and to aid prospective seekers for home, health or investment. Address Long Beach, California. "The dream of the pessimist who sees the phantom of the struggle for supremacy between Japan and the United States for the control of the Pacific is too ridiculous to be made the subject of serious comment," said the Viscount Doki, Japanese ambassador to this country, in an address at the ninth annual banquet of the American Asiatic association at Delmonico's. The viscount, who was the guest of honor, said it would be difficult to find an international friendship in the history of mankind in which better reasons existed for the maintenance of friendly relations. There was much applause when he expressed his belief that "the sequence of events which have taken place has dispelled all suspicion regarding the intention of the Japanese government to maintain the principle of equal opportunity in Manchuria." There was no mention made of the Japanese school question in California, because of a tacit agreement that the speaker should not talk on "controverted tones." REV. WILSON FOR CHAPLAIN In speaking of men who are deserving of recognition at the hands of the grand old republican party in this state, we mention the name of Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, for the position of for the position of chaplain of the house of representatives of this state, we but voice the sentiments and earnest desire of our people throughout the entire state. REV. E. ARLINGTON WILSON. Ph. B., M. A. L. chaplain of the House of Representatives, in searching this state from center to circumference you will fail to find a gentleman whose qualification and standing are more in keeping for this particular position than he. He is a scholar, as a minister his equals are few he is a dignified christian gentleman and in securing him as chaplain would be in keeping with the principles of the republicans of the state who believe in fair play and justice to all of its constituents irrespective of color, race or conditions, we are satisfied that in speaking of Rev.E.A. Wilson as being the right man A New Venture In The Newspaper World. "The Telephone" is the name of a newspaper which has recently started in the city, and is a neat clean publication, brim full of up-to-date spicey news and should be a welcome visitor at the home of every colored family in this city each week. We hope that Mr. Freeman L. Martin, the editor and publisher of this paper will meet with great success in this, his new field of labor. NOTICE Notice is hereby given that on Monday the 10th day of Dec. 1966, my application was filed in the office of the Probate Judge of Wyandotte County, Kansas for a pormit to sell intoxicating liquors at 1212 N. 5th St., in the Third ward of Kansas City, Kansas and said application is set for hearing on Monday the 14th day of Jan. 1967, at 10 o'clock a.m. when and where all persons may attend if they see proper.

"The Plaindealer would be glad to see a colored minister chaplain of the next house of representatives. Rev. E. Arlington Wilson is favorably mentioned. It is said that he will receive the consideration of a large number of members of the House KANSAS CITY, KANSAS FRIDAY EVENING, Rev. Wilson has lived in this city for quite a number of years and has ably pastored the Metropolitan Baptist Church for more than nine years, and his record as an honorable christian gentleman stands today as pure and clear as the noon day sun. His church contains a large membership of some of the most intellectual and highest respected citizens of this city. We believe that if the members of the house of representatives could see their way clear to select this gentleman to fill the position of Chaplain that it would be a step in the right direction.

A British regiment recently ranged in Southampton after twenty years' service in India. Only six men of the regiment that sailed from Englang returned with it. Charies De Kay, the well-known art critic, has some pertinent things to say in Broadway, concerning Americans as art collectors. "New York," he writes, "to those who are in the way of hearing about works of art in private hands, is a constant surprise by reason of the treasures that unexpectedly appear. American collectors are independent folk in some respects; they are apt to shun observation in their projects; they dislike to buy things which have been much exhibited. Moreover, they are singularly shy of each other, in a way feautous. They hold aloof, one from the other instead of taking counsel, as if they were afraid to be thought to lean on another's opinion and were pursued by the idea that a fellow collector might snatch the prize from under their noses. Sometimes their scepticism regarding objects offered by dealers in New York is comically offset by the ease with which dealers in London and Paris mulet them of great sums. The case in point was a tapestry offered to a certain very rich man in New York for sixty thousand dollars ($60,000)—and declined. He went to Europe and bought a set of five tapestries of the same period (old Flemish) for the tidy sum of six hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars ($625,000). But in this set of five, there were two pieces which were no other than the single tapestries offered him the year before for sixty thousand dollars ($60,-000)! This tapestry had been sent back to Paris, cut in two, the halves provided with borders like the other three and the whole set of five sold to the same millionaire for one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars ($125,000) a piece! It is generally agreed in Washington that Viscount Siuzu Aoki, ambassador from Japan to the United States, is the spunkiest diplomat ever seen there. When the viscount made his first call at the state department to protest against the separation of the Japanese from white children in the San Francisco public schools there is said to have ensured the most heated colloquy Secretary Root has ever had with a foreign diplomat. The ambassador of his imperial majesty was wroth all through and he let the calm-tempered Mr. Root know it without mincing words a bit. Mr. Root forthwith communicated with the president and the result was the immediate dispatch of Secretary Metcalf to San Francisco to look into the situation carefully and make a full report to the president. Viscount Aoki's wife is a German of high birth and he seemed to feel that the treatment accorded the children of Japanese at San Francisco was a personal insult constituting an international incident of grave portent. What species of animal lives to the greatest age is a question that has not been satisfactorily answered, but an official of the National zoo at Washington asserts that a giant tortoise, recently brought from Mauritius to the London zoological gardens, is probably the oldest living creature whose age is positively known. This tortoise which weighs a quarter of a ten, has lived at least 150 years, as historic documents prove. The same authority avers that 100 years is a good old age for an elephant, and no other animals, except certain birds and reptiles, reach half this span of years. But in 1821 a tortoise died at Peterborough, England, whose age was said to be 220 years. One instance, at least, is known of a tortoise which was still growing when 80 years old.

When the extension planned for the nation's capitol at Washington has been made, the edifice, including the works of art which it contains, will have cost nearly $20,000,000. In 1709 the first building lot on which the capitol stands cost $500. The cornerstone was laid Sept. 8, 1793, with a speech by President Washington, a military procession and a barbecue. City Locals.

Sweet Spring is now approaching, and Summer with the rose, so poetry's encroaching upon the field of prose.

The late Paul du Caillou was on one occasion asked why he had never married. "Well, once upon a time," he answered, without a smile, "an old African king who was very fond of me offered me my choice of 853 women as a wife. 'Your majesty,' I replied, 'if I should marry one of these beauties of yours there would be 852 jealous women here.' 'Well,' replied the king, 'that is easily settled. Take them all.' That was a little too strong for me, however, and, as I have never had such a field to choose from since, 'I am still a maid.' buy land by the thousands of acres in each state, to colonize these lands, farm them, build towns and cities raise cattle hogs, horses, poultry and etc., to establish taneries, shoe and cotton factories this will solve the race problem, 10 cents a piece from 10 million people would be 1 million dollars for 12 months would be $12,000,000 for five years would be 60 million dollars which would buy 1,200,000 acres of land at $50. per acre this would be enough land to colonize every colored family in the Unite states.

A writer in the Militar-Woenblatt raises anew the question of the use of portable shields for the protection of infantry in the attack, says the Bracad Arrow. He writes approvingly of the Japanese spade work in the offensive, the more so because he mentions incidentally, as a matter regarding which there can be no dispute, that the German authorities have long since advocated the use of artificial cover in the attack, and points out that when the ground was frozen or rocky, and the spade could make no impression upon it, the attacking Japanese infantry not infrequently went forward, carrying with them filled sandbags weighing as much as forty pounds. He remarks that if the undoubtedly brave Japanese soldier found it necessary to load himself with so bulky and burdensome a protection in an intrenched enemy it would seem far better to equip the infantry with a light, handy shield. Furnished with a handle by which to carry it, a loophole to fire through and some arrangement to prevent its falling down, the infantryman would then find himself, like his gunner comrade, protected by a bullet-proof shield. The writer in the Wochenblatt suggests that on the march the shield should be carried on the back, when going into action on the chest, and when advancing to the attack in the left hand, so as to be at once available for use when lying down to fire, both as head cover and rifle rest. YOUR HAIR SHOULD BE DRAB. That is the Fashionable Color, So an Authority Says. "Deep auburn and the drab shades are the fashionable colors in hair this season," said the woman who makes hair coloring a speciality, as placidly as though she were commenting on the state of the weather or the advance style in dress goods. "One of my customers has to my knowledge worn five different colors or shades on her wavy tresses. Having been blessed with medium brown hair by nature she became a ravishing blonde when the fashion for bleaching first came in. "Next she took to titian red after a trip to the art galleries of Europe. Then she thought she would be more attractive as a brunette, and now her hair is drab. "The last is by far the most popular of all for the reason that is most difficult to obtain, and then it is pretty generally becoming, and it happens that women who are born with this particular color of hair are almost always clever. "How is it done? Well, in case of a woman whose hair is dark a bleach must first be used before the dye is applied. With women whose hair has turned gray it is a still simpler problem. The color lasts a year, while the head can be washed and even salt water bathing does not affect it."—New York Sun. What Money Will Do. They say that money can not buy The sweetest things in life— Health, heaven, friends, respect, content Or e'en a loving wife. They say that money can not buy These things for me, alas! But I— Well—I don't know! What bought my private car? Just wealth What bought my lovely yacht, Which sails me to lands where health Is found in every spot? What will keep me clear Jim. To keep me in such perfect trim? Well-I don't know! The clothes she dazzles in? And if her heart beats not for me, And I am not adored, you see, Well-I don't know! And heaven? Oh, of course, I don't Expect to get in free; But if the Lord meant what he said Capture me! The title I'll give before I die Will slip me through the needle's eye, Or-I don't know! For happiness? Well, money bought This ninety-cent cigar; It bought this chair in which I loll, It bought this private car; It bought this cognac—and, I guess, If all this is not happiness, What am I going to do? Not a Good Advertisement. A Welsh judge had before him a case in which a printer sued a pork butcher for the value of a large parcel of paper bags with the butcher's advertisement printed thereon. The printer, having no suitable illustration to embellish the work, thought he improved the occasion by putting an elaborate royal arms above the man's name and address, but ultimately the latter refused to pay. The judge, looking over a specimen, observed that for his part he thought the lion and the unicorn were much nicer than an old fat pig. "O well," answered the butcher, "perhaps your honor likes to eat animal like that, but my customer's don't. I don't kill lions and unicorns—I only kill fat pigs!" Verdict for defendant.—New York World. Building Up to Requirements. A Kansas City man purchased a city lot with the restriction that he should not build a house on it to cost less than $2,500. After having paid for the lot he decided to build a $1,500 cottage. Before he had completed it the real estate man from whom he had bought the lot threatened to sue him for breach of contract. "This little shack you are building." said the real estate man, "lacks a whole lot of belong a $2,500 house such as you agreed to build." "Don't form too hasty judgment," replied the owner. "True, it hasn't cost that much yet, but I intend to put a solid gold brick in the chimney." —Kansas City Times Telephone Bell W. 32. W. B. R FUNERAL and Embalmer.

Reasons for lateness were not much varied. At the top of the page one would write "Train delayed," or "Omnibus horse died," as the case might be, and the rest fell into the habit of making ditto marks and letting it go at that. But not long ago one man had a new excuse. He wrote with pride: "Wife had twins." The second slow person that morning was in a great hurry, and did not notice the innovation, but made his customary ditto marks, and the rest of the men on that page followed suit. The excuse book was abolished. Example of the Postage Stamp Example of the Postage Stamp. The late Judge Andrew Wylie, of Virginia, had a happy gift of illustration. The judge cast in 1860 the only vote for Lincoln that was given in Alexandria, Va. In an address on Lincoln he once illustrated in an odd way the power of perseverance. "Lincoln persevered," he said, "and it is only those who persevere, they who concentrate their energies, who succeed. Don't give three years to journalism and then, discouraged, try the law awhile. Don't learn the grocery business and in a little while take up placer mining or plumbing. Consider, rather, the postage stamp, whose useful depends on its ability to stick to one thing until it gets there." "Well," said the first policyholder, throwing aside his paper, "there is at least one thing we can be thankful for concerning our Mutual friend, Mr. McCurdy."

The old sailor belongs alike to the navy and to the merchant service, for he served in both, and it would be difficult to say in which of the two his adventures were the most thrilling. His record includes three shipwrecks, the battle of Navarino, in which he won mention in orders, the blockade of Algiers, one capture by brigands, followed by himself and his companions seizing the Spanish ship which captured the corsair which had captured them. After serving many years before the mast he became a master and small ship owner on his own account. His name is Pierre Loirat. He was born in November, 1805, and at 12 he went to sea. ROOM 8.

I'll bring something more for you to eat, and a doctor will come to attend your papa.” With the delirious main’s ravings in her ears, Agnes hurried from the roow and passed out through the shop, glancing round the latter as she went, to see what they had there for sale. There were a few shop-worn toys, a case of lead pencils, rubber erasers, cheap writing tablets, and a cord stretched above the center holding a few unpopular magazines and weeklies, all of a month-old date. | “Pour souls,” was what Agnes whis- | pered to herself as she ran to the near- 6 $-4-44446444444444644465 44444544 est drug store, where she knew there would be a telephone. A real little ‘woman—and most capable—was Ag- nes. In a time of stress she never waited to ask advice of others; she quickly acted upon her own judgment, which was always good. She did not have to consult the ’phone directory, for she knew her family physician's number. In a moment she heard his emphatic “Hello!” “Hello!” called back Agnes. “Doctor Dash, this is Agnes Turner. Yes, I want you, and right away, please.

Dr. Hirsch, of Chicago, is rather hard on the bachelor. In a recent ad- dress he said: q “The bachelor is a coward and a moral leper.” | As to the cowardice charge, there |may be something in it. “None but the brave deserve the fair” And on this prima facia showing the bachelor is found to be greatly lacking in the | virtue of moral bravery. But as to being a moral leper—that’s | different. Because a bachelor refuses (or negiects to be a benedict ‘It does ‘not follow necessarily that he is eor- rupt as to morals. It would be almost ‘as logical to conelude that because a woman does not choose to marry she is a moral pervert. The bachelor has enough to answer for. Z He is selfish. That is plain. He has every chance in the world to make some good woman happy and he makes ‘the plea of avoidance. He loves him- self too well. He deliberately and with malice aforethought chooses his soli- tary way. __ The suggestion that the bachelor pay added taxes because of his refusal to hear his legitimate share of society's burdens fs a good one. He should be heavily mulet for his delinquency. But he ought not be abused simply because he is a bachelor, | ‘That there are too many of him Is quite true. The census tells us that ‘there are seven million unmarried ‘men in this country. The bachelor must be labored with. He cannot be turned from the error of his ways by calling him names, Yon may say of him that he is neglectful of ‘his duty and he will not resent ft. But you cannot drive the stubborn brute.—Des Moines News. Many “outrages” when closely inves- tigated, do not look so black.

Spelling Reformers at War. It bas come. The worst fears are realized. The spelling reformers are et war among themselves. They haye temporarily left off knifing poor old Orthography and gone to lambasting one another. Professor David Starr Jordan, pres- ident of Leland Stanford university, offered his resignation as a member of. Carnegie’s agsrezation ot word-prun- ers, declaring that there was “too much Matthews.” Professor Prander Matthews, of Co- lumbia university, bas reforted that it isn’t so, that there is not too much of himself, ‘nd that, anyway, somebody has to do the work. The public is not taken into confi- dence resarding the'real source of dts- agreement between these two most: eminent of all word-slashers, But there is ground to suspect that the proposal to knock the “ ‘I’ before the ‘e’ except after ‘c’” has been a source of infinite trouble in the world ever since writing of the English language was invented, If at last it has brought confusion and wrath even to a board of spelling experts no one would be surprised. But there is other and more prob- able ground for disagreement between. these two eminent simplifiers of spell- ing. It is easy to imagine Professor Jor- dan demanding that the superfluous “t” be cut out of the name of Mat- thews. Tt may be this he is darkly hinting at when he says “too much Matthews.” And Professor Matthews may be eas- fly imagined demanding on the other hand that the extra “r” be chopped off the end of Jordan’s middle name, “Starr.” ‘There is no more reason or excuse for the “r” than for the “t,” and in~ deed no excuse for either which a sin- cere word-slasher can consistently recognize. True reform, like charity, should be~ gin at home. And before either of these two eminent spelling reformers attempt to go any further, the public has a right to require that they both apply their rules to their own names, call their quarrel a draw, and ever henceforth do unto others as they would that others should do unto them.—Des Moines News. A Private Postal Syetem. There is no prospect that the United States government will consider the offer from private parties of $50,000,- 000 for the privilege of conducting for their own profit the postal system of this country. ‘The postal system is susceptible of being made a huge political machine. Im the hands of unscrupulous men it could be made to influence elections and officlal appointments and might even be able in some cases to subvert the government itself. There would be the same possibility that the national administration might use it to perpet- nate its power if it were not that in the hunds of the government it Is sub- | ject to perpetual investigation by con- Bross and that whenever the adminis- tration changes the perversion is dis- covered.” ‘There are many reasons besides this, ‘but economy and freedom from graft and from paternalism are not among them, The United States postoftice is conducted by the government at an an- nval loss of several millions, but there is not a shadow of doubt that as a pri- ate enterprise it would pay millions of proftt. ‘This waste is partly due to paternal- ism. The people of this country can- not reconcile themselves to paying for their mailing facilities as much as they cost the government. A self-sustain- ing government institution is repug- nant to them. ‘They want to know what is the use of a gavernment that does net support the people.—Chicago Chronicle.

BRAZIL. --- HE ECONOMIC history of the Brazilian republic is the history of a dramatic war written in figures. No other country has fought so many and such vital battles of national finance. At one time, when, owing to the unlimited issue of bank notes, specie almost disappeared and paper currency depreciated to one-fourth its face value, the most sanguine became hopeless and predicted bankruptcy. But a strong government held the helm. Within eight years the face value of paper currency was raised over a hundred per cent, and is still advancing. Unlike most of the South American republics, Brazil has never been insolvent and her credit in Europe has never been shaken. Turning to commerce, there is much to encourage us, although a low price for coffee makes everyone believe that ruin is impending. So vastly disproportionate is this branch of Brazilian production for export, that the whole nation has become pessimistic over the overproduction and consequent cheapening of the once precious bean. In the depreciation of coffee lies our great financial problem, and its increasing proportions and menace to national prosperity tend to cast a shadow over all branches of commercial enterprise. However, coffee, though by far the greatest, is not our only source of wealth. The rubber of the Amazon valley, though constantly increasing in volume, cannot keep pace with the demand; cocoa daily becoming more a necessity throughout the world, is being cultivated more and more extensively; and Sugar, cotton, and tobacco, though no longer preponderating among our exports, find an increasing market at home and have permanently added to the nation's wealth through the introduction of capital for mills and factories. While the United States buys almost one-half of Brazil's exports, both England and Germany sell Brazil more imports than does the United States. Figures show that in spite of the depreciation in price of certain of her products, Brazil is slowly increasing her importance to the world as a producer and is more rapidly advancing her position as a great market. They also show very markedly the unequal condition of trade between the United States as an exporting nation and Brazil as a buyer. However, since 1901 the United States has increased her exports to Brazil by 25 per cent., and while this increase amounts only to a million pounds sterling, yet it shows a tendency on the part of the United States to equalize trade relations with Brazil. No better time could be chosen for the advancement of business in Brazil. Public spirff in general and the disposition of the governing classes are most favorable to approximation in all our relations with the great republic of the North, whether these relations be political, financial, or purely commercial. Brazil, selling as she does almost one-half of her total exports to the United States, aside from any sentimental considerations, would naturally prefer to buy her steadily increasing imports from the United States. Circumstances have made the present an unusually favorable time for an invasion of Brazil by American products and manufacturers. It rests with the statesmen, the publicists, the merchants and manufacturers of both Not all the good die youn: A great many of them engage in the publication of magazines. It is hard to satisfy people. When the weather is good for duck hunting, it's bad for rheumatism. Haven't you remarked that the smartest men in a community very rarely engage in lawsuits? countries, to develop this public sentiment, from a bond of sympathy into one of material and ever-increasing benefit. Let us hope that they will grasp the opportunity. Behind the coastwise strip which represents Brazil's highest civilization there lies a vast hinterland where only the foot of the boldest pioneers have trod. To guard this unknown land with its bulk of undeveloped wealth from encroachment has been no small task for a comparatively weak nation, and Brazil's defense of the integrity of her frontiers has been marked by three of the greatest victories in the history of arbitration. She has successfully held in trust this land of the future against the day when her children shall by their own strength, or through the confidence they inspire in foreign capital and enterprise, throw open a new land of promise to the old world which is becoming so uncomfortable crowded. Reviewing our array of national problems, two stand out as the great essentials that demand the first energies of the republic. The first presents a battle which we must fight for ourselves, the battle of primary education and civic instruction. The second is the battle against the wilderness, a battle of railways and bridges and roads. For this fight we must enlist the help of outsiders, and it rests with the Americans whether in future these outsiders will be English, French, and German, as they have been in the past, or men recruited from the army which conquered like difficulties in the one-time wilderness of North America.—Leao Velloso, Brazilian member of congress, in Appleton's Magazine. England's religious controversy has now reached an acute parliamentary state. There is small chance of the question coming immediately before the country, even if the deadlock between the two houses on the education bill continues. Bannerman dare not risk the reduction and probable disappearance of his majority by appealing to the electors. The essential fact in the situation is that this struggle will continue inside and outside of Parliamen until the direct issue of the disestablishment of the Church of England goes to the country and is decided. It is problematical what the vote of the country would be if the issue were pressed to a decision immediately. The same change noted above in the case of France in regard to the attitude of the people toward religion is taking place in England also. It is slower in England and it would be quite a mistake today to describe Britain as unreligious, but the tendency undoubtedly is in the same direction. The cold facts are that when your age is guessed several years younger than it really is, some one is trying to be agreeable to you. No one admires a preacher, or a woman, who is easily fooled. The woman who complains that no one "understands" her is not usually a good cook. Of course marriage is a serious matter. It is only one step from alimony. Do you profit by the bad example of others, or do you follow their bad example? A Little Heroine. Little Lena was only four years old, but a wise, thoughtful, little girl, who listened to the talk of older folk and tried in every way possible to help her mother and take care of her little sister and brother. Her brother was called Joseph, and he was exactly the same age as Lena, for they were twins, and the baby was a dear, tiny thing, just one year of age. Now, one morning the mother of the children went away for a while, but Lena was up and dressed, the other children in bed, fast asleep, so the mother went off without the least uneasiness. "Lena is such a little woman," she said to herself, "she can take care of them almost as well as I." But something happened which the mother could not have expected. A match had been dropped on the floor, and as little Lena went tiptoeing across the room trying not to wake the baby and Joseph she stepped on the match and it flamed into a blaze just against a pile of waste paper which had been thoughtlessly left there. A moment and the paper had caught, another and the sheet hanging from the edge of the bed was blazing, and little Lena, rushing to the bed, dragged away the sheet, wrapped the blanket around the baby and Joseph, beat out the fire on the sheet, and then, seeing the children safe, rushed to the window screaming, for her own little white dress was burning and her hands already scorched. A workman passing heard her cries, and rushing into the house put out the fire, but little Lena was so badly injured they took her to the hospital, where after a time she got well; but to the day of her death she will bear the scars of her heroism in saving her little brother and sister. Nature's Color Pot There is something very remarkable in the persistence with which Dame Nature expresses herself in color. In olden times, before people knew as much about her fascinating ways as now, it was thought that the flowers quite satisfied her in this matter, but today it is known that they are only one small medium through which she finds vent. Over the fields she goes in early springtime with her color pot; and here and there, and everywhere, she dashes her paint brush; a splash of red, a touch of violet, a band of gold, a stripe of purple, and whole stretches of white for contrast. The fields are finished, but the artist does not rest. Off to the mountains and gloomy gorges she goes, boring tunnels here, slipping through the ravines there, diving down where the gems and rocks hide. "They might think I intend to neglect them," says Dame Nature to herself. "No. no, that would never do," and she glosses over the ruby as with blood, gives the emerald a share of the same green she bestowed upon the grass and leaves, touches the turquoise at the same tint the for-get-menots wear, and the amethyst to the heliotrope. So she goes through the whole underworld, and then to the sea where the fishes dwell. Around her they circle for they love color as well as she and delight to deck themselves and sport in the waters which reflect their brilliance. The blue fish whirls by for the stroke of her brush, the salmon for the glint of gold he specially desires, and the Paradise fish which perhaps of all receives the greatest variety of tints and shades. Coming from the ocean depths Dame Nature soars into the sky kingdom, and here, round and round the feathered tribes whirl as she paints their pinions and touches, to a glorious shade the soft down of their breast. So, everywhere, above, below, she passes and in the western sky at nightfall she would seem to spill all the leavings of her color pot, for there may be seen her red, her blue, her orange, and emerald, and 'tis from this supply the rainbow dyes its sample ribbons which are flung out across the azure sky. The Decorative Virtue There is an old-time ring about the word "gallantry;" it has in it an 'echo of the days of chivalry and romance. One thinks of the ancient costume as well as custom—it goes with the adjective "arch" and with the verb "to bridle"—suggesting one of the lost arts of social amenity. It has a rich, medieval color that has faded out of life in these days of the matter-of-fact and the practical. Gallantry was, no doubt, the chief of those "parts" for which gentlemen were noted in the eighteenth century. We have few "gentlemen of parts" nowadays; men are content to be gentlemen unadorned by such intrinsic graces. For this par- "Debrutalized" football has become almost human.—Chicago Evening Post. The man who saves money is sure of one thing: He will never find that he made a serious mistake in doing it. When women engage in a quarrel over a man, the quarreling of dogs over a bone becomes a quiet affair in comparison. ticular quality marks one of the few paradoxical cases in which the part is not included in the whole. Gallantry is a supplementary charm; it is one of the non-essentials, and it has, in its way, a decorative value which distinguishes it from the plainer virtues. It is the feather upon the cap of gentleness. Only because in the old times gallantry became impossible without the gallant did this fine flower of courtesy with its heavy-sweet perfume run down and become a weed. The old school of manners has passed with its minuet, its palfrey and its love-locks and ribbons and laces. For these the new mode brings the two-step, the automobile and the khaki. Etiquette has been replaced by "form"—its rules smack more of the stable and the field than of the ballroom. The fundamental rules of good breeding survive, but they are, year after year, more laxly interpreted for the benefit of haste. We pay calls by telephone. We content ourselves with following the spirit, rather than the letter of the social law. What the characteristic of the old was its peace, its grace, its harmony. The newer style mankens for contest and contrast and force. We have, in short, exchanged beauty for strength.—Gelett Burgess, in Smart-Set. Rudyard Kipling's Lapse The world of book lovers has long been waiting for some one to make such a protest as was made by a Yale professor against Rudyard Kipling's recent dandyism in literature. "Mr. Kipling," said the professor, "is now like a man who is in constant terror that he will say something commonplace, and his work seems to show a frightful striving for effect." When Kipling was 25 he wrote to please the public, and he did it well. Now that he is 40, he is writing to please himself, trying hard not to "say something commonplace," striving for effect. The change is not agreeable. In the old days of "Soldiers Three" and "Plain Tales From the Hills," his work was frank, direct, moving. Today, when he turns out tales of mechanism and foolishly elaborate fairy stories, like his latest effort, it is obscure, involved, tiresome. Nothing worthy but the charming little tale of "They" has come from him since the "Recessional." which, by the way, he is said to have thrown into the waste basket, whence it was rescued by his wife. His poetry of late years has been uninspired and very often mere doggerel, and his prose has shown the effect of labor. The tales he tells nowadays are absolutely uninteresting, except, possibly, to those persons who are experts in machinery or students of folklore. It is to be hoped that Mr. Kipling will find out eventually that his earlier manner is the better one, and will try once more to give the world tales of real life, with real men and women for his characters. One Mulvaney is worth a hundred thousand of such empty creatures as have appeared in his late writings—Chicago Journal. Grandmother's View: of It. "There is a certain exquisite flattery in our grandchildren's company. Betty loves everything I do. I seem to her witty, accomplished, and gifted. More than this, she treats me as an equal," says "An Elderly Woman" in Harper's Bazar. "She is ignorant of draughts, she is not afraid all the time that I am going to tire myself out. In a word, she doesn't know that when she comes to see me she comes into the Land of Old Age. She doesn't know that it's because I am old that I have all the time there is, while her mother has to 'make time' for her. For all Betty does for me I try to repay her by indulgences of all sorts—sometimes by forbidden indulgences. For these I get mildly scolded, but I keep right on. I have yet to hear of a boy who grew up a bad man because of the little indulgences his grandfather showered on him, nor of one who grew up a dyspeptic because of the surreptitious cookies his grandmother gave him. I am sure I am no worse a woman because my grandmother begged me off from some well-merited punishments. So I spoil my grandchildren as much as I can, which is as much as I am let." There are some people who pray for patience, and then get mad because the fire goes out when they prayed so long. "Dad," asked Bobby, "what is biology?" "Go ask your mother," replied Dad, curtly.

"One at a time, Mr. Bushe, if you please." The barrister presently had a good chance to retort. When O'Grady was charging the jury the ass began to bray, this time at a greater distance from the courtroom window.
