The American Citizen

THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. The Oldest Negro Paper devoted to the Race in this Section LIBERAL COMMISSION PAID RELIABLE AGENTS FOR THIS PAPER CALL HERE VOL. 18 NO 7 STOP! JUST THINK. A journalist by the name of Frank A. Munsey, owner of the Argosy Magazine Munsey's Magazine; The Scrap Book and a Home Journal of some small circulation, owns and publishes a paper here, which he calls the Washington Times. This Times was started about 4 years and from its birth has useb every base method of yellow journalism to injure the Negro thinking in this step to cater to the prejudices of the community in which his paper has a large circulation and win in the field of competition over the Washington Evening Star a paper which is a model of American journalism. But it has not been satisfied, even under the eye and personal supervision of Frank A. Mauusey, to falsify accounts concerning colored people; hence, it issues an advertising folder which contain the very falsely significant paragraph: "Washington, the Capitol of the nation has a population of 355,000 which 55,000 are colored and are disregarded in the Times' circulation. What is said below, therefore 'applies wholly to the white population.'" Following this paragraph was one dealing with wealth and income which in no wise reckoned with the colored people, and then came the following: "The Times has not only not sought circulation among the colored people, but it has deliberately avoided it and in its news columns has shown emphatically that it is a paper for white people." The above is surely convincing, and we call upon the colored people all over the country to strike from their list of reading mater any and everything with which Frank A. Munsey has anything to do. He is using his organ to degrade you and debase you, and honor anub self-respect damn that you resent his unjust imputation and contemptible slur and malicious falsehood. His Times is like the politician who never wants office. He always has his hand out for Munsey; and while Frank A. Munsey is deceiving he does not want colored people to take his paper, his agents plead with the colored people to subscribe and his collectors are calling upon them as upon the whites. But the sad part of it is, some of the colored people continue to buy and read this penny sheet, which was conceived in sin and born in iniquity. Strike back at this pernicious influence and crush this serpent's head; unless you prefer to slander and abuse rather than stand where you can and where it is your duty to stand for the right. Touch not and hannle not any that comes from Munsey. - Plaidhaler Race Notes From American Baptist Louella Thurman, a white woman who was mistaken for a coloured woman and forced to ride in a "Jim Crow" car compromised her suit against the S. Railway Co. at Lexington Kentucky and received 3500 it is understood. She had received a verdict for a larger sum at a trial of the former case which was reversed. The Illinois Central Railroad Co. was fined $50.00 in Hopkinsville Ky. last week for desecrating the Sabbath by keeping a section gang engaged in repairing the tract near that city on Sunday. The Company was fined $40.00 under a second indictment and a third indictment was dismissed. According to estimates sent out by the Census Bureau the population of the United States in 1906, was 83,941,500 an increase of 7,946,930 over 1900. The five leading cities and estimated population in 1906 are: New York, 4,113,045; Chicago, 449,185; Philadelphia, 1,441,735; Louis, 649,320: and Boston, 22,78. You need not become alarmed by brother, and spend so much time and money advertising yourself, if you are capable and worthy the people will find. The record of the Pension office show that there were 2,351 deaths among old soldiers, who were pensioners, during the mo. of Feb. The police records in St. Louis for one year with the lid on show a decrease of 71 per cent in Sunday arrests for drunkebness and 55 per cent in total number of arrests. The seperate street car foolishness for white and colored passengers in North Carolina went into effect in that state last Monday. Our people are quietly protesting against this iniquitous measure by only riding on them when it is absolutely necessary. Prof H. B. Britt, of Louisville, Ky. who is now singing at a series of sermons at Metropolitan Bapt. Church. He shines as a star of the first magnitude and has charmed large audiences on two continents His extensive travels and wide experience in Gospel meetings cause him to be most effective in revival meetings. Nature has wonderfully endowed him with a rich melodious voice that always brings convictions to the sinner and joy to the Christian. Thoroughly consecrated to the Evangelistic field, Mr. Britt is undoubtedly the most powerful Gospel Singer of the age. You should go out and hear him one night before the meetings close. Jamestown Va. Exposition Our people may congratulate themselves upon the happy location of the Negro building. It situated near the main entrance to the exposition grounds, and faces the principal thoroughfare the first and most conspicuous structure the vistor sees when he passes through the gates. The United Order of True Refomers of which Rev. W, L. Taylor of Richmond, is president, is to illustrate a practical way the development of the Negro as a banker. They will erect a substautial building, and throughout the life of the exposition, will have in full operation a model bank, with safe deposit attachment, staff of cashier and tellers and will handle the mony of concessionaires' receive deposits from visitors and employers' and transact a regular banking business for all who may require such service.

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

Attest: By I. F. Bradley, Atty. Wm. Needles. Clerk. Dec., 7 Size of Ancient Babylon. Ancient Babylon was not such a great city as some have supposed, according to H. Valentine Geere, the archaeologist. He says: "The idea of Babylon's vastness and magnificence, to which we have become accustomed, has been practically exploded. Dr. Kodewy told me that the site of the city was larger than that of any other ancient city; but ever so, the idea that it could be compared with London and its suburbs, which has been very generally held, entirely erroneous. in point of fact, it SHIELDS FOR TROOPS IN WAR. Their Use Urged by a German Military Writer. A writer in the Militar-Wochenblatt raises anew the question of the use of portable shields for the protection of infantry in the attack, says the Broad Arrow. He writes approvingly of the Japanese cpade 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 undoubted brave Japanese soldier found it necessary to load himself with so bulky and hardensome a protection when advancing in the open against 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. 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.

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!"

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 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.

In 1807, the local czar of Russian Central Asia was General Kuropatkin, the soldier who seems at the present writing to have buried his reputation as a commander in chief in Manchuria. At the time in question, he was looked upon as one of the ablest and most popular generals in the Russian army. He was also supreme "boss" in the district under his command. Kuropatkin received us at Askabad, the administrative Russian town. How he looked and acted during the Russian-Japanese war I do not know, but he looked the foxy soldier in every detail at Askabad. I say "foxy" advisedly. He had a detective's eyes, the reserve of a detective's chief, and the plaque of a man who could stand much more punishment than his uniform would give him room for. Since the Japanese war it has been said that he is a thief—or a grafter, if that be more euphemistic. Certain persons claim that he is five million rubles vinner as a result of the war. Fortunately, the Russians know what gossip is and merely let it drip. Unfortunately for readers of American newspapers, certain correspondents do not make the slightest effort to distinguish between gossip and facts. Our party spent seventeen days in Kuropatkin's bailiwick, or Trans-Caspia, as it is officially called. I had various glimpses and talks with this soldier perhaps the most interesting glimpse taking place at Askabad, during an outdoor religious service on St. George's Day. What interested me was a short stocky general, standing bareheaded on a carpet near the officiating priestess. For one solid hour he stood at "attention," not a muscle in his body moving that I could see. I made up my mind then, and I have never changed it. That he was endowed with a stick-tiedness to a remarkable degree, a flat bolstered up by his persistence in the Manchurian retreats. Had there not been something about the man and his surroundings that took hold of my imagination, this slim report would not have been made here. Whatever else he was, or was not doing, he was plainly trying to experiment with civilization before resorting to the sword. His schools, railroads and agricultural experiments were all indicative of his constructive ability. For this side of his character I liked him. I disliked his career in butchering, and I was not pleased with his hard face. Nevertheless, there was something so commendable and soldierlike in his parting, "Bonne Chance," when we bade him good-bye, that, for me, there was more in him to like than to scold about. As regards the alleged five million rubles he is supposed to have "grafted" in Manchuria, I can merely say that he did not look like a threat to me—Josiah Flynt in "Success Magazine." Invention of the Newspaper. The newspaper is an Italian invention. The first regular publication of a bulletin containing information for the public was undertaken in Venice in the latter part of the sixteenth century. It was not printed, but was written on large sheets and display in a room. Those who desired to read them were admitted upon the payment of a small coin. They were called "gazetta," from which comes the word gazette. common in the newspaper world of today. The war between the Greeks and the Turks and the popular claimor for information concerning it was the reason for the birth of the first newspaper. The files of sixty years of its issue are preserved in a museum in Florence. Joe—Why did you say you paid me when you settled for the math checks?

Harry N Tucker of the Uncle Sam Oll Co indicted He asserts that it is the jealousy of a competitor that caused his arrest Harry H. Tucker, secretary and treasurer of the Uncle Sam Oil Co., was arrested at Kansas City, Mo., under a warrant issued on an indictment from the federal grand jury at Topeka on three counts-charging him with using the United States mails to defraud in the conduct of the company's business. He was taken before Judge Pollock and his bond fixed at $15,000. "I expect to have 100 signatures on my bond," Mr. Tucker said. "I could as well make it a thousand, but I am anxious to have the bond fixed up as quickly as possible, perhaps in three or four days." "I am not seriously alarmed over the charges upon which the indictments against me were returned," Mr. Tucker said. "But I don't want it to hurt the company. I am going on the theory that the postoffice inspectors who investigated the company's affairs found some things they thought were wrong; but I want to show the people who have invested their money in the Uncle Sam company that things are all right. So we have decided to call a meeting of the stockholders within ten days. We want to bring them in to show them that their investments are all right. Then if they are not satisfied I am willing to turn the affairs of the company over to them and let them manage things. "I have got every dollar of my own money in the concern, but I shall not consider my own personal interests when it comes to protecting the interests of those who have put their money into the company." "How many of your stockholders can be reached by such a call?" the reporter asked. Mr. Tucker smiled. He said the company had 2,600 stockholders in Kansas and 1,400 in Missouri, 500 each in Iowa and Oklahoma and 700 each in Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. At the home office of the Uncle Sam Oil company in the Wyandotte building, the routine of business was apparently undisturbed yesterday. "We intend to continue in the oil business just as we would if nothing had transpired," one of the office men said. "We have sent letters to all of our agents and employees to this effect and our operations at all of our wells, refineries and distributing stations will go on just the same. You see, it is this way—" Here he explained the Uncle Sam company's methods of distributing oil in a number of Kansas towns. "We are becoming a strong competitor of the Standard Oil company—we are hurting the Standard's sales," he said. "That's what is hurting the Standard. Within the last year the company has sold only $92,000 worth of oil." Referring to Mr. Tucker and his management of the company's affairs, one of the office men said: "We will stick to Mr. Tucker to the end, believing that he is innocent of any attempt or design to defraud our stockholders. He has all of his own money invested in the company's business and he never appropriated a dollar of the stockholders' money to his own use." At Palm Beach alone in all America can women gamble "decently"; that is, not simply play bridge but roulette and such, in temples dedicated particularly to chance. One must dwell on such dreadful sin hereabout, since how can we claim a Rifiera without a Monte Carlo? The Florida legislature allows it, for a proper price, and in proper hypocritical fashion. The place is called the Beach Club, run by two brothers well known to the New York tenderloin and several district attorneys. Election to membership is extremely difficult. The qualifications are a dinner coat and an acquaintance who has bucked the wheel in the "club" at least once before. You enter with him, sign your name and his to a slip of paper, and receive a yellow "membership" ticket, "not transferable," to be shown when requested, bearing the autograph of the clerk at the desk. The man who has attained self-control over his own passions can be tolerant toward those of others. Will Come When the Boss Appears. "The Filipinos are to have a political campaign and an election this year, though it seems unkind to give them all the horrors of independence first."—Brooklyn Standard Union. The Trust Jealous of the Uncle Sam In a typewritten statement prepared by Tucker he declared his indictment to be due to the jealousy of the Standard company. "As long," said Tucker, "as the Uncle Sam Oil company was selling stock and its refineries. pipe lines, distributing stations and other appurtenances and paraphernula for the conduct of the oil business were in an embryo state the emissaries and employees of the Standard Oil company in Kansas contented themselves with yelling fraud. They did not do anything more serious because they were not hurt. But the very minute when the Uncle Sam Oil company got in the market as an active competitor of the Standard Oil company, the very minute when the Standard Oil company began to lose business in Kansas it began to get busy and this indictment is the result. It is their answer to the saving of nearly five million dollars yearly to the people. It is the way the Standard Oil company always answers. They never have fought fair and they never will. "When it comes down to a question of my guilt or innocence the books of the Uncle Sam will show for themselves. If I have ever got a dollar which was obtained dishonestly I am willing to go to jail. I have never obtained a dollar in my career in the oil business that was not for the purpose of building up the greatest independent oil company in the West. I have never received a dollar that was not applied for that purpose. I have been told more than a thousand times that where the Uncle Sam Oil company grew to just the extent it has that it would be crushed. I have been told for two years that the Standard Oil company was just playing with me and whenever I got big enough to hurt them they would show me a thing or two. was then told that if I would consent to the appointment of a 'friendly' receiver that everything might be fixed up all right. I am the officer of the 9,000 stockholders of the Uncle Sam Ofi company scattered through every state in the Union; I am their servant. I am not absolute and I told this politician that I would fight to the last ditch to protect the interests of these stockholders who had invested their money at my solicitation. That is my position now. I have committed no crime in the eyes of God or man. "This whole proposition is a scheme to rob the stockholders of the Uncle Sam Oil company of their property, which has cost more than $1,000,000. It is a plot to have a receiver appointed and then sell the property to the Standard Oil company for a song and thus rid this audacious and conscience-less trust of the most formidable onposition it has ever had in the West." Sarah Bernhardt has locked horns with her publisher, and, as neither party will give way, there seems to be nothing for it but a lawsuit. The trouble arose in this way. The publisher, no less a one than Mr. Heinemann himself, arranged with the divine Sarah for 200,000 words of memoirs naturally supposing that the intimate recollections of one who had been in the confidence of kings would be the liveliest kind of "copy." As an earnest of his good will he, and various other publishers who shared in the enterprise, including Appleton's of New York, paid a very large sum of money in advance. Great was Mr. Heinemann's consternation to find that the forthcoming material was in no way what was expected. There were no revelations and no recollections, no real memoirs at all, but simply "bogus scrapbook stuff," as Mr. Heinemann irreverently calls it. He therefore notified the great tragedienne that it would not do at all, and that he would expect the real article, with prompt delivery and full weight. So madame refused to write anything more at all, which was a very real tragedy for Mr. Heinemann and full justification for the suit that he brought at once and that is now pending.

"The great value of my little garden to me has not been the fine vegetables it has yielded all summer and the good time the children have had in the open air, but the glasses of beer and absinthe my husband hasn't taken," observed the mother of a French working man's rather numerous family to an investigator last autumn. "Quite right, mother," echoed a man near by; "you will never know the evil we men don't do while we are busy in our little gardens." This conversation took place in France, on one of the workingmen's gardens, a movement for self-help which is growing each year. A similar movement was started in Detroit in 1894 under the name of the Pota Patch farms; later carried out successfully in New York and other cities in the vacant lot farms, while today Philadelphia is beginning her eighth year of successful effort. Mine. Hervieu, a charitable woman in Sedan, tired of aiding the poor by gifts of money, attempted to rouse them to self-help by an offer of doubling any sum of money which they should deposit in the local savings bank. She rented a small tract of land and said to the poor people: "Now go to work." They did, and as they worked the taste for it grew; they kept steadily at it, especially as they knew that the fruits of their labor would belong to them, that the vegetables they raised could be taken to their homes or sold. Such was the humble beginning in 1899 of a little movement, but one so simple and practical that it grew until last October, in Paris, there was held a congress of workingmen's gardens, attended by 700 delegates, under the presidency of M. Aynard, of France.—Century Magazine. The Hawk's Eyesight. A hawk can spy a lark upon a piece of earth almost exactly the same color at twenty times the distance it is perceptible to a man or dog. A kite soaring out of human sight can still distinguish and pounce upon lizards and field mice on the ground, and the distance at which vultures and eagles can spy their prey is almost incredible. Recent discoveries have inclined naturalists to the belief that birds of prey have not the acute sense of smell with which they were once accredited. Their acute sight seems better to account for their actions, and they appear to be guided by sight alone, as they never sniff at anything, but dart straight at the object of their desire. In Bed for Thirty Years. The world's laziest man is believed to be an Ishman, named Thompson, living at Clare, near Lurgan. In 1877, when he was 11 years of age, he went to bed, and there he remained until a fortnight ago. It was then that his mother, who had attended him all the years, fell ill, and was taken to the infirmary. Left to himself, Thompson was compelled to leave his bed and go to the workhouse. The only clothes he had were those which he discarded nearly thirty years previously. He was so tired with the exertion of dressing though two neighbors helped him, that he refused to walk. An ambulance was brought, and he stayed in the union until his mother's recovery, when he followed her home. This time he was compelled to walk, for the authorities only laughed at his laziness. He is now in bed again. Geologically not much is known of Greece of the prime. The region which subsequently became known as Hellas had been believed to have been thrown up by the sea about the end of the cretacean epoch, or after it. Recently finted mollusks that inhabited the immense oceans of the trias period have been found in great numbers in the Peloponnesus giving evidence that the sea still covered the country in the first ages of the mesozoic period. Some stones that struck a resident of the district as strange were some time since sent to M. Negris, an eminent Greek geologist, and he hastened to the spot for further examination. The result has been to reveal the existence of trias rocks, with brachiopods and other pterid remains possessing all the characteristics of the Alpine trias. Never judge a man by his looks. Many a man looks as if he had been caught in the act of stealing corn from a blind dog. A Noted Author.

SIMMONS, 1119 E. 8th St., Kansas City, Mo., member of the National Annuity Association, writes: "My health was excellent until about a year ago, when I had a complete collapse from overdoing socially, not getting the proper rest', and too many late suppers. My stomach was in a dreadful condition, and my nerves all unstrung. "I was advised by a friend to try Peruna, and eventually I bought a bottle. I took it and then another, and kept using it for three months. "At the end of that time my health was restored, my nerves no longer troubled me, and I felt myself once more and able to assume my social position. I certainly feel that Peruna is deserving of praise." There are many reasons why society women break down, why their nervous systems fail, why they have systemie or pelvic catarrh. Indeed, they are especially liable to these ailments. No wonder they require the protection of Peruna. It is their shield and safeguard.

THE HIDDEN DEMON. By Rev. Thomas B. Gregory. In the terrible story of Thomas Baldwin, of Colfax, Ill., there is revealed the chapter in psychology that every one of us would do well, and more than well, to read and study with all seriousness. A well-to-do farmer, well past the middle milestone in the journey of life, universally respected for his truth and probity, and noted throughout the region round about for all the qualities that go to make up an exemplary member of society, suddenly flares up, reaches for his gun and rushes forth like a madman to shoot down and brain one of his neighbors. One moment Thomas Baldwin is quietly watching his cattle munch their provender, the same model citizen that he had been for years, enjoying the esteem and confidence of the community that had been his for a full generation, when all at once, like a flash of lightning out of the storm cloud, he becomes a veritable devil, bloodthirsty as a Bengal tiger fresh from the jungle. One minute everybody would have sworn that there was no finer, kindlier, gentler soul in all the community than Thomas Baldwin, and the next minute the entire neighborhood was shocked and astounded. Baldwin had shot down four of his old friends with as little remorse as a man would shoot so many mad dogs. Ot course the demon was in Baldwin's soul right along; else we may be sure, the horror in question could never have been. The demon was there, lurking quietly behind the mild, gentle exterior, waiting for the opportunity to spring forth and begin its bloody action. Human nature is a dual affair; part god and part devil; now mild as a day in June, and now furious as a winter tempest; now sweet and beautiful as an angel, and now bloodthirsty and terrible as a fiend. Such was Farmer Baldwin, and such, it must be said, are we all. "Saints" and "sinners," "good" and "bad," the "law-abiding" and the "lawless," are simply names. We are all human, and to be human is to have wrapped up within us the grim possibility of the demonic as well as the angelic, the bad as well as the good, the sinful as well as the saintly. The good old clergyman who seeing a convicted murderer going to the gallows exclaimed, "There goes myself but for the grace of God!" hit the nail squarely on the head and at one swoop got down to the supreme fact in all mortality and psychology. The best of us might have been the worst had the demon within had the opportunity to break loose and get away. Maybe the occasion for the test of strength between us and the demon did not come; or maybe, again, it did come, and the demon was held down and we remained "good." But it were well to remember that it might have been different, and that if the monster within had triumphed we would have been "bad." A great many "criminals" are explained in this way. It is true they are criminals, and must meet the criminal's reward; but those of us who are not yet criminals would do well to be as charitable as possible in thinking of the other fellows. We don't know when our turn may come. The demon is in us as certainly as he is in the other people, and it is just possible that in some unguarded moment he may spring up, get control of us and put us behind the bars. It behooves ever one of us to watch. Perpetual vigilance is the price not only of political liberty, but of that far more important kind of liberty—liberty from the grip of the flend that lurks in every one of us. Don't be too sure that you are beyond the demon's reach. Keep ever on the alert. Watch, fortify yourself. Keep ever upon the ramparts of your soul's manhood the sentinel of a sober, serious, reverential self-inspection. In that way, and in that way only, can you keep from being what Farmer Baldwin is. At a public dinner in an English city, the toast of "Army, Navy, and Reserve Forces" was proposed in rather unusual terms. In submitting the toast, the chairman said: "This is a toast which requires very little comme t from me, as the subject is one with which you are all familiar. The Army and Navy have been drunk for very many years and the Reserve forces have now been drunk for some-taing over twenty years." Rossini, the composer, was a great eater, and his objection to roast turkey is famous—that it was "too much for one person and not enough for two." On one occasion he went into a restaurant and ordered dinner for three. After a while the waiter said: ```markdown ``` LOVE'S STORY.

"I fink I shall go and back the window now," observed Lady Babs. The nine-year-old daughter of the Earl of Fulham, preparatory to putting her intention into execution, holds up her riding habit with both hands, so as to exhibit as much as she can of her new top-boots to the crowd in the Birdcage. "You're going to do what?" asks Mrs. Fane, in a tone of astonishment; but Babs pretends not to hear. "I say, young woman," calls her father. "One moment. Where have you been for the last half hour?" "I've been on the Heaf wiv Alured and Mrs. Fane. I fink Newmarket's the nicest place I know for a gallop. You ought to have seen my pony. I held Alured from the Bushes wivow extendin' him; and Alured's mare is quite moderately good, you know. Seen my boots, Admiral?" she asks inconsequently of an elderly man who comes up at the moment. The Admiral fixes his pince-nez on his nose and affects keen interest "Ain't they 'rippin'? I showed them to Kink, and he said they were quite viewy down the road. Isn't anybody goin' to take me into the ring to back Velveteen for the 'Sagewitch?" she asks. "But, my dear child," demurs Mrs. Fane. "The ring! You mustn't think of it!" "Why Velveteen?" asks the Earl. She's at 33 to 1! Hasn't a ghost of a chance. Why not support your daddy's horse, Babs?" They are standing at the door of the loose box where the Earl's 4-year-old is awaiting the event of the day. Eabs gives him a perfunctory glance, and shakes her little head sagely. "Not for anything," is her decision. "He can't stay the course, and besides, I wasn't at all satisfied wiv the way he moved at exercise yesterday." "The deuce you weren't!" says the Earl, with a laugh. "You're getting to know too much. Is that your personal opinion, or did you read it in the papers?" "I never read the papers," affirms Eabs. "Kink says they only give winners once a year, and then it's a walk over." "Who is Kink?" asks Mrs. Fane. "He's our head gardener's son; but now he's appendixed at Mr. Wilson's, the trainer; and he's a great friend of mine." "And he says that Velveteen will win, does he?" put in the Admiral, and Babs nods affirmatively. "I suppose he hasn't given you his reasons for that astonishing prediction?" suggests the Earl. "It's nothing of the kind." objects Babs, without quite knowing what prediction means. "It's a stone-blind cert." She puts, no emphasis on the phrase, merely uses it, as one might a plain statement of fact. The admiral, was vastly amused, but has a struggle not to show it. "Well, what else did you—did Mr. Kink say?" inquires the admiral when he has regained control of his features. "I can't quite 'member his exact words," replies Babs, "but I flink he said the favorite couldn't win in a couple of fortnights if Velveten—that's Mr. Milten's filly, you know—only stood right slides up."

"I am perfectly serious," she protests. "I know Velveteen's form to an ounce. It's a fousand to a fick'n on her." "Babs!" exclaims Mrs. Fane. "How dreadful! I don't think he can be a very nice boy to talk to you like that." "Oh, but I assure you he is," declares Babs, "or they wouldn't have him in the choir at St. Maffew's." "Is that where he gives you tips?" she asks, in a shocked voice. "Sometimes—during the unfem, when my governess is local terror for the organist, and I'm wiv her." "During the anthem?" wonder Mrs. Fane. "Why during the anthem? I should have thought the offertory—" "Oh," interrupts her ladyship, "Kink wouldn't dream of talking; but he sings what he wants to tell me while ve anfeim's goin' on. He does it like this: She won her tri—al—yes—ter—day And no—fing else is in the straight Back oh back her wiv all your spon —du—lics Back her." The weird words, though chanted in a subdued treble, are strangely reminiscent of last Sunday's service. Mrs Fane is filled with dismay. She gives an apprehensive glance to right and left. The Earl laughs sardonically, "What rot!" exclaims Alured. "Well, I'm blessed!" murmurs the Admiral, as the saddling bell rings. He reaches down to the little hand. "Come along, Babs. I will take you into Tattersall's. You've earned it!" He threads a way through the shouting throng until he finds the bookmaker he is in search of. "Lady Barbara Valence desires to do a little business with Mr. May," says the Admiral. The bookmaker raises his hat. "At your ladyship's service," he bows. Babs lifts her little dog-skin-gloveed hand and exhibits a sovereign. "I want to put this on Velveteen," she informs him. "Forty to one to you, my lady," returns the bookmaker. "Will you give me back the sovereign?" asks Babs. "Yes, your ladyship—if Velveteen wins." "Now, we'll go and watch Velveteen win," observes Babs placidly. Ten minutes later she is leaning over the front of the grand stand watching the race through the Admiral's glasses. The field are coming out of the Abingdon Mile Bottom. Babs follows them steadily. In dull thunder they pass the Bushes, while the ring yell confusedly. A bay—in Mr. Mitten's claret and gray—forges past the leader. Babs puts down her glasses. "Velveteen walks in!" she announces. "A dead snip, wasn't it, Admiral?" "I've a jolly good mind to kiss you!" beams the Admiral. "I've a jolly good mind to let you," smiles. Babs. MEDITATIONS OF A SPINSTER. Strange that when you make a man believe you think he is good-looking immediately he perceives that you are much prettier than he thought. False teeth and false hair are all right while you are single. It always is surprising to find out that so often the truth will serve better than any lie. The only spice that can improve a kiss is variety. Satan has no better helper than the person who goes around spouting good advice.

Miss Dorothy Cash Tells How Grace and Beauty May be At- tained Through Simple Discourse ```markdown ``` The delightful art of walking, the happy practice of vagabondage, which is the simplest exercise, is in danger of failing into disuse among women in the multiplicity of modern sports. Tennis, golf, riding and motoring, all call us in their different ways in the pursuit of diversion or health, until the lover of the open foot-road is almost an old-fashioned person. The art of walking may be disused, but it cannot be lightly neglected, and the wise will always hold it in esteem, so primary a thing is it, and so essential to all womanly grace. The mechanics of walking, like the science underlying any art, may not be as interesting as the art itself. Yet it is none the less necessary if we would practice the art correctly. The first requisite of good walking is noise. If the body is well, poised at each point of its motion, the motion itself must be good. The process of walking which is described as a series of falls and recoveries in which the two are so insensibly merged, is either an art or a caricature. In walking we are in a continuous state of unstable equilibrium. We are playing with gravity. A good walker spins the earth defly beneath his feet. This action suggests something of lightness and ecstacy to be acquired in walking, a proper carriage of chest and strength of action. Instruction in the exact technique of walking may be epitomized as follows: From a normal standing position with the greater part of the weight on one foot (the left, for example), lift the body gently on the balls of the feet and let it sway forward. As it swags out of balance, the right leg will instinctively come forward to save it from falling. If the right leg be allowed to swing freely of its own weight, like a rope, sagging at the knees and slack at the ankle, and if at the same time the body be lifted high on the ball of the left foot, the right foot (the trailing end of the rope) will clear the ground as it swings past the left. The first part of the foot to touch the ground will be the ball and not the heel. Meanwhile the forward impetus of the body will not be retarded and the left leg is now swinging forward in its turn. The left foot must have room to swing clear of the ground and to meet that necessity the body must be lifted. This is, as I find, the natural walk, and not the heel and toe walk as practiced by athletes. This particular gait is an artificial one and has been adopted for a specific reason. But for a woman I would suggest the natural walk, carrying out the rope idea and which will swing her body into a graceful turn, which is not only beneficial for the entire body grace, but attractive for its ease. Why He Knew. A witness was being examined as to the sanity of one of the inmates of the asylum. "You hold that this "mate is insane, so you?" a lawyer asked. "The man," the witness said, "goes about asserting that he is Santa Claus." "And," said the lawyer, "you hold, do you, that when a man goes about asserting that he is Sr. 'a Claus, it's a clear proof of his insanity?" "Pecusce," said the witness, in a loud indignant voice, "I happen to be Santa Claus myself."—The Argonaut. The Richmond Times-Dispatch is distinctive for its comprehensive reports of educational and industrial work.

Although the carrot has long stood at the head of the dietary that is supposed to make for beauty, it has never been a popular vegetable seven with the most ardent beauty seekers. To make it a culinary delight as well as a beauty maker is the object of many experiments. Some young uptown housekeepers have formed a Lenten club for the better understanding of carrot possibilities. One luncheon and one dinner are given each week, at which some new carrot dish must be served. At the end of four weeks a prize will be given for the most successful dish presented. So far the best effort in this line has been a preparation of ordinary creamed carrots filled into green peppers. The top was covered with buttered breadcrumbs and the whole placed in a moderate oven. When there was a tender, brownish crust on the peppers the dish was ready to serve. Accompanied with brown bread, sandwiches and olives the course was a decided hit. The young housekeepers found that while a dish of plain mashed carrots as an accompaniment to roast duck would be eyed with distinct scorn, the same mashed carrots shaped to simulate a large oyster, dipped in beaten egg and breadcrumbs and dropped into deep fat, are eaten with as much relish as broiled fresh mushrooms. These young housekeepers have also found that mashed carrots moulded into the form of croquettes and fried gain in palatability. On Character Building. "The only way that the business section of San Francisco can be rebuilt properly," said a world-famed architect after the earthquake of 1906," is to tear down every wall and building that is left standing, no matter how good and how strong it may appear to be." The same might be said of any man's life. We hear a lot about the building of character, but mighty little about tearing it down. And right there is where more than one of us make a grave mistake. Did you ever, in looking back on various failures and shortcomings, on places where you were weak when strength and determination would have changed the course of your life for the better, did you ever think that the next time you would act differently? Of course you have and when the "next time" came you fell down even more miserable than before. Where was your mistake? You had tried to build before you had torn down. One weak wall, standing amid a dozen strong ones, weakens the whole building. One flaw in a man's character, weakens the whole moral structure, and often leads to the collapse of what should have been a noble life. If you have a weak wall in your life, an unworthy habit of body or mind, TEAR IT DOWN. It will be useless for you to attempt to conceal it by surrounding it with what may appear to be strength of purpose. It will make itself evident sooner or later. Tear down what is weak and build from the ground.—Des Moines News. Society women who are really solicitous for the manners of their children—and there are still a good many society women who have children, strange as it may appear—are teaching their little ones always to repeat the person's name at the end of a reply, and never say "ma'am." It is, of course, a small point, but it marks a difference. Another small point is the use of the napkin in the right way at meals, and the right way is not to tuck it into the neck. A child can show quite as much dexterity in eating as an adult, and a misplaced morsel of food or a spilled drop of liquid is proof of a misdemeanor. An ill-behaved child in good society is rightly considered as a reflection upon the manners of its parents and in no way to be tolerated, and there is now a general tendency to teach boys that they must invariably wait upon older persons and upon girls, while girls are being trained to wait upon older persons, men, and women allike.

How To Reform a Bad Boy. Probation in dealing with delinquent boys has been found to work well Philadelphia, according to Edith J. Brown writing on "Probation in Practice. One of the greatest advantages is the probation officer to reside in a district overseen: "Definite ages were gained in the probation officer residing in the center of the trict furnishing the probationer was possible to become intimately acquainted, social and neighborhood influences contributing to delinquency and to co-operate with existing agencies aiming to modify or supra such influences.
