The American Citizen

THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. The Oldest Negro Paper devoted to the Race in this Section VOL.18 NO 7 A NOTED WOMAN PASSES AWAY. On last Tuesday April 16, 1907 at the residence of her daughter Mrs. Lena Downs of 422 Haskell ave., Mrs. Rachel Brown departed this life. The funeral services was held from the First Christian church, last Friday April 19, in the afternoon and was ably conducted by conducted by the pastor Rev. W. H. Bowen. She is gone but not forgotten. She leaves a daughter and 4 sons and a host of friends to mourn their loss. Mrs. Rachel Brown was born Nov. 24, 1851 in Osage County, Mo. at 55 years. She was married to Joseph Brown in 1868, moved to K. C. Kans. in 1881. She united with the Christian church about 15 years ago, was a faithful and untiring Christian worker strong in the faith always ready and willing to do whatever her hands-found to do. She was ready and willing to go and told all her children to meet her on the bank of sweet deliverance. She told them 'good bye' and said she was resting. How rugged seems the world now, how dreary our lot, how bitter is the cup of grief, as to Jacob of old no ladder rapped in a halo golden light to us appears now. Yet we seem to behold an Angel entering softly celestial doors from rounds of gold and above it a approving God and a smelting heaven. Sister Brown at that time of day when God paints the evening sky in colors of strange beauty, and falling sun-beams dies away on the setting sun, when just before the earth is robed in shadows of night and the stars yet unseen in the peaceful heavens stand behind the curtains of day pillowed her head upon Jesus' breast and breathed her life out sweetly there. Many hearts outside the family circle will grieve at the death of this noble, tender, womanly woman, so true to family and friends so helpful to all good causes, possessing that priceless and rare beauty of soul which made her life a center of good influence to all around her although the closing scenes of her life were characterized by much suffering, the death summon found her amid sweetest anticipations and an unfaltering trust although it was her lot to suffer, it was an affliction filled with the serenity and calm of a long well-spent life, blessed with golden hope, troops of friends and universal regard. To know her was to admire her, to hear her was to believe her, to see her was to testify to her as a noble woman living only for duty and God. For those who knew her best she will live in memory as true in all her relations with a large and hopeful a loving and trustful heart the finished product of simple womanhood standing for all that is most wanted or to be desired Weep not for her although she sleeps and we alone our weary way shall. She is asleep in in Jesus! Her repose. Beckan's us upward through this 'world of woes. The day of our deliverance is at hand. With thoughts fixed high in Heaen on earth we stand; With patience wait till Angels from above shall open the door nor death shall part us from her we love for ever more! The citizen extends sympathy so the family in this their hour of bereavement The United Order of True Refomers of which Rev. W. L. Taylor of Richmond, is president, is to illustrate in a practical way the development of the Negro as a banker. They will erect a substantial 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 employees. 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 competitian 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. Muusey, 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 95,000 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 matter 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 anb self-respect demand that you resent his unjust imputation and contemptible slur and malicious falsebood. His Times is like the politician who never wants office. He always has his hand out for money; and while Frank A. Munsey is declaring he does not want colored people to take his pape', his agents pleads 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 concealed 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 haunle not any that comes from Munsey.—Plaindealer Race Notes From American Baptist Louella Thurman, a white woman who was mistaken for a colored 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, 2,049,185; Philadelphia, 1,441,735 St.Louis, 649,320: and Boston, 602,278. The Indianapolis Freeman, a newspaper that enjoys a national reputation, and which is conceded to be one of the most influential race champions, in the and, is out in a strong editorial endorsement of the negro exhibit The race press can always afford to follow where the freeman leads.

Waldorf Astor has become so thoroughly anglicized that he is going to marry an American girl. A clergyman says that bridge whist leads to mental decline. Why doesn't he try poker for a change? Senator Pettus is declared to be a poor man and fond of poker. The last explains the first, possibly. Perhaps boys should be thankful for whippings, as somebody declares, but they seldom are before they are 45. Sweet Spring is now approaching, and Summer with the rose, so poetry's encroaching upon the field of prose. King Edward was "warmly received" in Paris, but not in the same way as when he used to be prince of Wales. The czar will reserve the right to wield the big stick over the Douma, according to the latest advices from St. Petersburg. We learn from the New York Mail that women are using garters to keep those long, arm-length gloves in place. But do they hold? Manchuria will be finally evacuated by the Japanese in a few days. It has taken them longer to get out than it did to get in. It is now believed that Anna Gould is going to give Boni one more chance, in spite of the fact that he has taken a great many already. Uruguay should not be blamed for having a revolution. A review of recent South-American history 'shows that it is Uruguay's turn. Asks the editor of the Pittsfield Journal: "Are there four girls with gray eyes in Pittsfield?" Apparently ye scribe means to get busy. Queen Maud of Norway is losing her health because she fears her husband will be killed. This queen business is not all pickles and ple. It was not long ago that all the "success" magazines were pointing to the Pittsburg millionaires as examples to the youth of the land. With 10,000 doctors in convention in Boston next summer, the rest of the country ought to have a good opportunity to get well.—Boston Globe. It is a pity that the great romancers of the sea did not live in a generation which affords such thrilling material as the log of the dry dock Dewey. A Minnesota man says he has discovered the cause of the aurora borealis. But what bearing will this have on the price of coal this year? Much to the surprise of everybody, some of the phenomenal ball players added to the leading nines as marvelous discoveries will probably make good. Cheer up, mister! The president of the Dressmakers' National Protective Association says that women's dress will be less expensive this year than ever before. The Japanese, says one of their statesmen, should adopt chairs and develop their legs. Well, short legs did not prevent them from "getting here" in the late war. Portle, as quoted by the editor of kind of society paper, is made to say: "How far that little scandal arrows his beams! So shines a bad seed in this haughty world." News comes from the east that the seventeen-year locusts will devastate we land this year. How many times the course of a decade do the seventeen-year locusts come, anyhow? As the last suffragist was detatched on the doorknob and put into the plice wagon, the premier of the great british Empire crawled out from unr his bed and sighed a sigh of reef.

The human body can live and thrive and work on a surprisingly small quantity of nourishment. Great moderation in eating is, therefore, one of the keys that unlock the doors of long living. Greatest Misfortune of Life Mayors appear to have had their troubles two centuries ago.

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. Kodewey told me that the site of the city was larger than that of any other ancient city; but even so, the idea that it could be compared with London and its suburbs, which has been very generally held, is entirely erroneous. In point of fact, it appears that its walls were not more than eight miles in circumference. Moreover, the great palaces are shown to have been poor affairs after all, with wretchedly cramped apartments, and next to no pretensions to arch SHIELDS FOR TROOPS IN WAR. Their Use Urged by a German Military Writer. A writer in the Military-Wochenblatt raises anew the question of the use of portable shields for the protection of infantry in the attack, says the Bread 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 durdensome 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 bulletproof 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 riffle 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.

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!"

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 being 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 AMERICAN HAIR GROWER BEFORE USING PICTURES TAKEN FROM LIFE. AFTER USING This is not a chemical compound.

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.

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.

On Handline Children. | Children should be handled as little as possible. When they get bigger they bee stand for it, preferring to handle themselves. : The hendiing of children hqs now been reduced to a science, of whicn there are three distinet branches, viz.: fondling, jogsling and chucking. To handle children properly, first fondle. To fondle, encircle the child twice with both arms and press tight- iy against the breast or some other part of the anatomy. Continue until the child shows signs of suffocation. Then jogele. To jozgle, face the child, leering, press the thumb firmly into the child's trunk midway between the pit of the stomach and the short ribs, with the fingers deeply imbedded in the sma‘l of the back. Then shake the child ‘Vigorously up and down and sidewise, until the child froths at the mouth. ‘Then chuck. ‘To chuck, extend the fingers of the right hand and strike the child sharp- ly in the face, preferably under the chin, This may be done with perfect safety to very young children, as they can neither strike back nor, having no teeth, bite the tongue. Continue unt‘! the child temporizes and grows red in the face. Then fondle as above and repeat ad libitum. ‘This rule is for your own children cr vice versa.

In the early history of this country EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME. MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bit ters, laxatives and tenice, were to be found in almost every house, com- pounded by the housewife, sometimes: assisted by the anothecary or the fam- ily doctor. Such remedies 2s picra, which was aloes and quassia, dissolv- ed in apple brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic made of whiskey, hops and bit- ter barks. A score or more of popular, home-made remedied were thus com- pounded, the formulae for which were passed along from house to house, sometimes written, sometimes verbally communicated. The patent medicine business Is a natural outcrowth from this whole- some, old time wtistom. In the begin- ning, somo enterprising doctor, im- pressed by the usefulness of one of these home made remedies, would take it up, improve it In many ways, manu- facture it on a large scale, advertise it mainly through almanacs for » the home, and thus it would become used ever a large area.

For the twentieth time at least in the last hour Ninette Travers had pushed back the lace curtain of her drawing-room window and peered out into the deserted street. The short winter day was already drawing into twilight, and the gray blackness without made a sharp contrast to the luxuriant warmth of the room within. Ninette came back and sat down in her usual chair near the hearth. Mechanically she settled herself among its cushions, but she was unconscious of any sense of physical comfort as she did so. Her eyes moved restlessly about her, and lighted at last on the little Empire clock on her writing table. Nearly 6 o'clock. What was happening? Would he never come? She spoke the words half aloud, and then sat up in her chair, a frightened look upon her face. "Never come home?" Suppose, after all, it had all been useless! Suppose Blanche did not keep her word! Ninette began to pace the room, her hands clasped tight behind her. Suffering was a new experience to little Mrs. Travers, whose dainty feet had always trod the pleasant paths of life. Her mother had died when she was so small that she was spared the pain which darkens a child's life. Her father adored her, and her will had been his law ever since she could remember. Even when, three years ago, cousins and aunts and relations generally had held up their hands in consternation at the news of Antoinette's engagement to Maurice Travers, the popular playwright, her father had stood valiantly by her side, and placed no hindrance on her inclination, although he had hoped for a more brilliant marriage for his pretty, well-dowered daughter. All the same, the marriage had caused a small sensation. Ninette belonged to an old county family in which prejudices still ran high, and even outsiders thought it odd that such a butterfly creature as Miss Gauton should be attracted by Travers, who was at least fifteen years her senior. That the man of thirty-five should have fallen in love with the girl was, of course, not extraordinary, and the financial position that his plays had secured for Travers put aside all suspicions of sordidness. But three years had elapsed since society had whispered its astonishment, and until quite lately it had lost all interest in the Travers menage. During those three years Ninette had been gloriously happy. She was inordinately proud of her husband, proclaimed loudly that she was much too ignorant to understand half of what he wrote, and in reality did not pre-occupy herself much about his work except that she always attended the dress rehearsals of his plays, and was generally far too nervous to go to the theatre on a first night. All her life she had been treated as a child, and it seemed to her perfectly natural that Maurice should continue to treat her so. It was only a few weeks ago that, standing at the window of a photographer where portraits of celebrities were exhibited, a phrase spoken by a couple of bystanders caused her to reel as if she had been struck. Half a dozen words, no more in which her husband's name was coupled with that of anche Romaine, had made the success of Travers' play, and who was to act in the one even now in rehearsal. Ninette stared after the two men who had spoken. She was very angry; it was humiliating that such Mechanics of Stomach. Until quite recently practically all the studies of digestion have been confined to an investigation of the chemical changes going on in the digestive tract. Several German physiologists have lately turned their attention to the study of the mechanics of stomach acid and have arrived at most ridiculous reports should be spread. She would tell Maurice when she got home. After all, it was foolish to be angry; all public men were the prey of scandalmongers. And for Blanche! She must make Maurice promise not to tease her about it. Blanche would hate anything of the sort; she was not a flirt—indeed, not half such a flirt as Ninette, herself, who loved men's attentions as a child loves sweetmeats. But Blanche, she was so different. Besides—Ninette caught a glimpse of herself in the plate glass at the side of a shop window, and smiled complacently—besides, Blanche was not even pretty; the ordinary artistic face, as she had heard some one say once; and Maurice disliked artistic things in every-day life! More than probably Ninette would not have given the matter a second thought if that evening at dinner Maurice had not told her that he could not accompany her to the Riverdale's party, because he had promised to call on Miss Romaine to discuss with her a certain scene in the forthcoming play. It was a disagreeable incident to Ninette. Maurice had never let her go out alone before, and the echo of those words of the morning was in her ears the whole time she listened smilingly to the conversation around her. She left the party early, and had hoped to find her husband home before her; it was much later when he came back, and all idea of repeating what she had heard had quitted Ninette's mind. Valliantly during the ensuing days she had striven to forget all about it without success. Whenever chance threw her in Blanche Romaine's society she caught herself watching Maurice; her eyes and ears were prenaturally alert, and it seemed to her in a little while that it was not she alone who was interested in the relations of the playwright and his interpreter; to the others it was a comedy which did not rise above commonplaceness, while to her it was the very heart of tragedy. Her father was wintering in the South, otherwise his loving eyes would have noted the change in his daughter—the fading of the childish contours of her face, the new look in her eyes, the restlessness of all her being; but there was no one who cared to mark these details. Maurice, pretexting the rehearsals of his play, was scarcely ever at home, and Ninette, fearing to widen the breach between them by putting its existence into words, made no effort to detain him. It was only yesterday that things had come to a climax. Ninette had been ready to go out, the house at times seemed to suffocate her; she was on the stairs when she heard Blanche's voice in the hall asking for Maurice. "He is at the theatre. I believe," said Ninette, leaning over the handrail; won't you come up?" "But you were going out. Am I not disturbing you? Such an odd thing has happened. I came for an explanation—" And Blanche Romaine stooped and kissed her hostess. The contrast between the two women was very marked as they stood together. Ninette, smart and neat in her outdoor frock, every part of her prettiness brought out by careful dressing. Blanche Romaine was nearly a head the taller of the two; her furs hid the thinness of her figure, but the toque she wore did nothing to soften the irregularity of her features. It was, as Ninette had remarked to herself, an artistic face—changeful, charmful, but hopelessly out of drawing, and the vicinity of Mrs. Travers' EV the theoretical teachings that has prevailed in the past. Starting with animals, the work has progressed to include human processes as well. The primary work was done with animals who were killed and their stomachs immediately frozen, so that the exact conditions prevailing in life could be investigated at leisure. Waiting. delicate chiselled features accentuated its plastic defects. These two women stood silent a second. In spite of her training Ninette had an odd sensation of excitement—a feeling that at the moment she could not trust her voice. It was Blanche who spoke first: "My dear, what's the matter with you? Do you know you are getting thin? What's wrong?" The dark eyes were fixed kindly on her, and the voice was concerned. Ninette shifted under the glance. "Oh, I've been overdoing it, I suppose; but what is the odd thing that has happened?" "This." And Blanche drew from her muff an envelope in Maurice's handwriting. "Mr. Travers sent this down to me this morning by special messenger; and what do think is inside it?" Ninette felt certain she could not speak, but she forced a smile and shook her head. "My dear, you'd never guess. It's an estimate for the building of a greenhouse at Ditton." Miss Romaine paused dramatically, and both women laughed. "And he must have wanted me to get it quickly, as he sent it by hand." "Evidently. Let us go to his study and see if we can't find out what he really meant to send." "Do you think——" Blanche looked irresolute. "Oh, we are sure to find it," replied Ninette firmly, though she had grown very white. "Come." Blanche followed her into Maurice's special den. They were both silent, and it seemed to Ninette that she could hear her own heart beat. While she turned over the papers on his desk. Blanche moved restlessly about the room. "Oh, it really does not matter," she said quietly. "Perhaps—" "I think I have found what we want," replied Ninette, who for a moment had been standing quite still, her hands on the table, her eyes bent on a closely written paper she had discovered in a blotting pad. Blanche held out her hand, but Ninette took no notice. "Yes, this is it," she continued; "if you will listen, I will read it to you." Blanche dropped into a seat without a word. Both women were white to the lips, and Ninette's voice came in little gasps as she read:— "Elanche, how long are we to go on pretending? You know I love you with every fibre of my body, with every thought of my mind. I believe—no, I am sure—you, too, care. it is time to have done with shams. Neither of us is of the stuff which stoops to deceive; with us it must be all or nothing. Which is it to be. Can you face the nine days' scandal—the talk, and base comments? And after—heaven and the world will soon forget. Antoinette will get her divorce easily enough, and will spare her life afresh. You know her; a dear little doll, content with a pretty freak, and happy when she is told of its prettiness and her own. No brain, no heart that can ache for longer than a few hours. Our marriage has been a mistake; she never loved me or any one, and will be perfectly happy with somebody else. It is you, love, who must decide. Decide quickly my beloved, for I can bear no more—M." Ninette stood quite still when she had finished reading, and there was no sound in the room; she looked across at Blanche after a moment, and held out the letter.

Blanche made no movement to take the paper; she had covered her face with her hands. "I too, wish you would decide quickly," went on Mrs. Travers. I lived in torture this last month, because Maurice is all wrong you know, where I am concerned. I care for nothing in the world but for him; he is the beginning and the end of everything. I always thought he understood." Her calm broke suddenly, and she burst into tears. The rest of the interview was blurred in Ninette's memory. She tried hard as she paced her drawing-room now to remember exactly what had happened; but it was all vague, there was nothing distinct; except that Blanche had kissed her when she left her, and that Ninette had felt at rest. But the torture, the misery, had begun again when this morning she had seen a letter for Maurice in Blanche's handwriting. What had she written? He was with her now; Ninette was certain of it. That kiss, why had she trusted it? Why had she let those soft words of reassurance sink into her soul and comfort her last night? "Trust me. I could not make my happiness out of another woman's misery; trust me—" Yes-perhache she had meant it then, but Blanche loved Maurice, Ninette was sure of it. Her own love gave her keen eyes indeed, she had not denied it yesterday, only promised. But could she keep such a promise? Ninette went once again to the window, and her heart beat violently. Surely that was Maurice! She drew back from the window and switched on the light. Oh, those seconds of waiting till the familiar step sounded on the stairs. Mechanically her eyes caught the glass opposite where she stood; a spot of color burned on each cheek, but her teeth chattered with expectation; she dropped into her chain just as her husband entered the room. "Why, little woman, how pretty you look!" He bent and kissed her, and she, slipping her arms round his neck, drew him closer and looked into his face; it was white and pinched, and his eyes looked dull. "You are very tired, dear," she said softly. "I've been having a rough time—at rehearsal." "Rehearsal till now?" Oh, why would he stoop to lie? "No; I've been with Miss Romaine. Oh! Put not thy faith in woman. Ninette Blanche Romaine has thrown up her part." "Blanche——" "Yes; engaged to be married to old Lord Layton! Ah, our actresses so dearly love a lord." Ninette held herself with a mighty effort, keeping his head against her shoulder. "But your play?" "Oh, we'll get some one else, never fear. No one is indispensable, Ninette except—" he turned his head closer to her—"except one's wife!" One on the Dentist. Pat—Did yez hear the joke on Hoover, the dintist?

The Music of Life. A brilliant woman once said to me, "Life without abandon to me is a dance without music." And I knew instantly what she meant, with that delight one always feels in the perception of a fresh statement of truth, writes Bliss Carman in the Smart Set. It was a poet's phrase, and as all good poetry will, it illumined the mind at once with a radiant conviction, and left itself in the memory as a perpetual word, of wisdom. Every day, everywhere, I am constantly having it borne in upon me how true the saying is, and as I hear of the incidents in the lives of my friends, or of their friends, and as I watch the expression of men and women going by me in the street or gathered in public places, light-hearted with elation or depressed with complaining, I find myself repeating, not without something of the resigned detachment of the philosopher, "Life without abandon is a dance without music." Abandon means fervor, cestasy; enthancement of mind, fascination of the will, enravishment of the senses—the brimming over of vitality, exuberance of spirit, the charming play of intelligence. It constitutes the good measure of life needed for great growth, that is the mainspring of progress, in science, in religion, and in art. It is easy to recall in human history memorable names of characters who were verily, permeated with the music of life. That, for a modern instance, was stevenson's rare distinction. There was the frailest of mortals, in no way exceptionally favored by worldly circumstance, an invalid all his days, yet absolutely refusing to live without abandon. In spite of sickness or hard fortune, he would not dance without an accompaniment, and made music every hour he was alive. There is no foretelling the preference of instinct, and in these sacred matters to do violence to instinct because of any supposed obligation to duty or advantage or self-interest is an abhorrent wrong punishable by death—sometimes death of the body, sometimes death of the soul: How often, too—perhaps how much more often—the opposite calamity occurs, when the too eager and willing senses find themselves responding to a seemingly kindred individual, only to discover when too late that there could be no harmony of feeling or understanding. Nature has arranged that the body shall know its own kite and kin, as the mind and soul know theirs, without heed to advisability or unselfishness; with an instinct that is uncompromising and unequivocating. It is this possibility of divergence between sense and spirit that works such havoc in our destinies, unless we learn at least to try to introduce some rational unison among our correlated but only half-reconciled powers through their appropriate education. People laugh at a joke, but they remember the moral of a story all their lives. KONSTANTINUS ing place, though it ceases in other portions where hydrochloric acid is present. The following advertisement appears in a fashionable English newspaper: "Lively lady wishes to exchange scandal with another; replies required only from those in the best 'society,' etc." One of the most fallacious ideas in the world is contained in the complete so often made to me: "There isn't much for anything in our town; everybody filled up." Perhaps five out of six boys who leave their own home towns leave with the idea that the field there is exhausted and that business lines impossible. Yet a boy from a small towns jumps right in, finds a place where he not only has a chance, fills what the country paper would call "a long felt want." I often have wondered why it is that the big opportunities in cities, as are as small towns, always are seized up by outsiders. The home people along in the old rut—and if they are looking for business openings, chances for investments, they have their eye fixed on some town other than their own. They suffer from business hypermetropy. The things close hand are entirely overlooked. Most young men come to me asking what they can "locate" and complains bitterly that they "have no chances and that "a boy hasn't the opportunities now that his father had." I always stand for that except that I have had their fathers and their grandfathers say the same thing. As a matter of fact there are in-ery town, village and hamlet in country—even in the backwoods along the "back roads," chances simply waiting to be grabbed up. They are overlooked. The persons who seeking opportunities gaze away ward the horizon and old Opportun almost breaks a panel knocking on door at home without arousing them. Only last week I met a young friend who had gone to the Klondike, hurried to the Philippines, and pursued opportunity everywhere. He getting rich in his home town in huckster business. Experience it far West called his attention to try. He saw that there was chance for some one to handle him in his own town, so he hurried and went to work. It has been my good fortune to elm much and work little, which country gives an opportunity for serving opportunities. Also it has a kind of bad with me—since I plenty of money—to tell others to make it. John W. Gates remains not long since that any one could a million. That is true. Since I money enough to have leisure to serve I have seen a thousand chars to make a fortune. Sometimes I been tempted to stop and add to fortune—and once or twice it has so easy that I have yielded and in some more money. Perhaps it is harder for the who earns barely enough to live see the chances than it is for one like myself, has enough for it and desires no great wealth. How I have seen scores upon such chances to make a competence of nothing and with practically no al investment. I made my the first two ventures I worked hard, made the ventures and then retired. That explains why now I seem am pained to hear young men plain that they have no chance. Do not misunderstand me. I am a gambler, nor do I even contend "get rich quick" schemes.
