THE AFRICAN MERICAN LEDGER. --- VOL. XVIII. NO. 37. FIVE THOUSAND HEAR TAFT AT LINCOLN NATION'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE DELIVERS ANNUAL ADDRESS TO LINCOLN UNIVERSITY GRADUATES. Many Other Notables Present Baltimore Boy In Graduating Class—President Taft Emphasizes the Need Of Higher Academic Education For The Race Says The Negro Must Have Leaders Who Are Trained To Grapple With Large Problems That Will Confront Them. Lincoln University, Pa.; June 18- Today will ever be memorable in the history of this institution which has sent forth an army of trained men, to help in the uplift of our people. For the first time in its history, the President of the United States was present, delivered an address and presented diplomas to a class of 28 young men. Lincoln University, with its magnificent and well appointed buildings, and a faculty of the most refined and well equipped body of men, has ever been, during almost a half century a true and faithful witness of the cause of highest type of learning ing and culture for the Negro race. There were possibly four or five thousand people gathered upon the campus today, to witness the exercises, coming mostly from the surrounding country, although there were a number from distant points, including a large number of the alumni. In addition to the presence of President Taft, the occasion was further honored with the presence of Governor Stuart of Pennsylvania; Mayor Revburn, of Philadelphia, and the congressman of the district wherein the university is situated. The addresses from the three or four members of the graduating class were not only good in the matter and composition, but were delivered in such a manner as to sustain the reputation of this institution for producing men of splendid oratorical ability. Mr. Harry Graham Bragg, of Baltimore, was the only representative in the class from Maryland. Mr. Harry S. Cummings, of Baltimore; Mr. M. Dougall, an assistant District Attorney in New York city; Rev. W. A. Creuitt, of Philadelphia, all of them distinguished alumni of Lincoln, were among those who occupied seats on the platform and enjoyed the power of being presented to the President. It is bing continually pcalained all over the country, by many not too friendly to Negro progress, that it is impossible for Negroes and white people to live together in unity and equality. It is contended that such an ideal can never be realized. Here, at any rate we have set forth the positive fact of unity and amity between the races. We dare say there, is no other place in the country, which, on the occasion of an annual commencement, can reproduce the sight that has obtained for so many years at Lincoln. In the great crowds which are wont to attend these commencements, including hundreds of white and colored farmers, from the surrounding territory, as well as visitors from far and near, the color line could not be discerned with a microscope. Seated here and there, and thoroughly mixed in the seating, pleasant and free in the interchange of the common civilities, and all bearing upon their faces evidence of mutual pleasure and satisfaction, it would seem that the white and colored people, at least of that section, had not even heard of any "Negro problem." And yet for all this close and pleasant relationship, there is no amalgation, but race integrity on both sides. Despite the intermingling of the races, in the ordinary civil affairs and public gatherings, so far as is known, assaults or improper racial relations are unknown. THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS President Taft, among other things said: "Today's occasion is one which should have an interest for every lover of his country and every student of her problems. And this institution may well stand as a fine example of the higher education of the Negro race." "We have in this country a race problem different in many respects from the problems encountered by other nations. Their problem has not been solved a yet, but those who look at it in a proper spirit of faith and optimism believe it in process of solution "In the first place, out of those four million slaves, all but 5 per cent. were illiterate. Today the illiteracy among the colored people is less than 50 per cent., and I think our last census will show it to be less than 45 per cent of those who have reached the educational age "The problem is to carry on this work of progress, so that the illiteracy may be reduced to nothing, and the knowledge of the industries in which the people are to engage shall be imparted in the best ways known to modern p dagogy. Industrial education has been upheld as the best education for the colored man. I should say also undoubtedly it is the best education for the majority of men, both white and black here has been much severe criti- (Continued on Page 5) HAS NO DEPUTY IN UNITED STATES Grand Master Of Masons Of Liberia Issues A Proclamation To Masons Of United States. (Special to Afro-American Ledger.) Liberia, West Africa, May 16—Grand Master Abraham B. Stubblefield, of the Liberian Grand Lodge, of A. F. & A. Masons, has issued a proclamation denying any connection between the Grand Lodge of Liberia and a man by the name of John A. Bell, of 218 James street, Grand Itapids, Michigan, whom it is alleged is claiming a deputy-ship and said to be organizing subordinate Lodges in the United States The proclamation says such an office is unknown in the history of Freemasonry in Liberia and that Liberian Masons are too well acquainted with Masonic jurisprudence to intrude on foreign juriscuctions. The proclamation further states that said John Bell has no connection in any way whatever with the Grand Lodge of Liberia, never having been a member of any of its local longes. Grand Master Stubbiefield takes this method of informing the Masons of the United States that it has no connection whatever with the said John Bell, and repudiates him in every way and manner.

CALEDONIA A Number Of People Come Down To The Steamer To See Him Off-White Folks A Little Stiff At First But Limber Up And Get Acquainted-Dr. Rankin, Of Texas And Rev. J. P. Robinson His Room Mates-Gets His First View Of An Iceberg- Never Saw So Much Ice Before. Anchor Line, S. S. Caledonia. -As I take my pen in hand to write to you this week, you will find that I am way out in the ocean, and I will be in Glasgow before I can mail this letter to you. I have been hearing them talk about crossing the ocean and crossing the ocean, for a long time, but I never realized what it was until this time, and I have enjoyed myself very much. The last time I wrote to you I was in Newark, N. J. getting ready to make the voyage. Friends had sent my money from all over the country, and even while on the ocean I got some cash from the Afro-American Leoger office, some from others. Dr. A. M. Curtis sent us a check for five dollars. Mrs. M. E. Steward, Louisville, and his her check for five dollars, and this added much to me. This cash I was able to use right on the boat, and will get the checks, cashed later. I think I told you I spoke at the A. M. E. church, and then I got up, early the next morning and went to the United Staats Express Office, and told them that I was a friend to N. D. Thompson, and they issued me some traveler's cheques, to use on my trip abroad and did not charge me for them. I am not going to say just how much I got, but I got them just the same, and I am proud to say to you that my friends have given me money enough to come back home. Reaching 23rd street in New York about 11 o'clock, I met Mrs. B. F. Wheeler, who was in town doing some shopping. Mrs. Wheeler is a widow of one of the A. M. E. Zion preachers who was an active good man, and who was a promising young man at the time of his death. I went out in town with her, after going on board of the Caledoula, the boat where I was to spend a week. She went into see my quarters, and then looked the boat I took first-class passage. After getting in my room, and then going out in town to see some friends, we returned, that I returned, and later Mrs. Wheeler came and brought us some flowers. Rev. J. P. Robinson one of my room maes, was in the room when I returned. I hook hands with him. He was seasick from riding on Pullman car in the United States, hence he did not get around. Soon Mrs Ella Ewing, of Newark, wife or my friend Lambert Ewing, came along with a surprise, for she brought me a new leather gas for my typewriter. I have one of them things: wifi me, and it makes it easy for Mr. Murphy to real my spelling. Soon came along Dr. J. W. Rankin, from Texas, who was booked to be the other room inate. Now we were greeted by Mr. B. F. Wheeler, Mrs. Ella Ewing, Miss A. A. Cofield, Miss Estella V. Mason, all to see us sail It was 2:45 when they began "All ashore whose going ashore," and a ru-h was made by the large crowd down to see their friends sail. Our friends left us, and just at this time I met Rev W. J. Jon-s. of Detroit, who came to take the last look at me. At 3:15 the gang plank was pulled in, and the old whistle blew one blast, and started off. A little boat helped it to turn around, and then let her go. Thousands of people were on shore waving at us as we steamed off. I was up on the promenade deck, and then up to the hurricane deck and waved at the people as long as I could see them. Then down to the room where I found Dr. Robinson in bed, and I permitted him to remain there until Sunday morning. Now you want to know what happen," and I suppose I will have to tell you. Caledonia is, perhaps the fatest boat of the Anchor line. It is just a little city on water, and I named my street, Stewart avenue, and my house is No. 68. Getting my things a little straight, we reported for assignment in the dining room. It was a little different than what we expected. Dr. Rankin and myself went together, and we took our places. The people did not seem to be frightened at all, but made us welcome. The dining room steward assigned us to our place, permitted us to take our choice of seats, and select our sitting. We thought, it well to take second sitting, and we had the seats we wanted. We walked around, and I got hungry, asked for some sandwiches, which were furnished at once, and then I began to get acquainted with those who were to serve me during the voyage. English people are certainly polite. After walking around, and then seeing the pilot, when he left us in a sail boat, taking back some letters, it was not long before we lost sight of land. We have only three passengers of our race on here, and I tell you it was lonesome for a long time. White people stood off and looked at us, and we looked at them, and pretty soon, Rev. A. J. Brown came up to me, told me Continued on Page 5.

ANOTHER CONVENTION FOR ATLANTIC CITY ANOTHER CONVENTION FOR ATLANTIC CITY NATIONAL INDEPENDENT POLITICAL CONVENTION ISSUES CALL FOR CONFERENCE Will Be Held At Atlantic City During The First Week of August—Call for Meeting Accuses Taft of Violating The Oath Of Office And Completing The Disfranchisement Of The Afro-American In The South—Colored Americans Must Rally To Their Own Defense. (Special to the Afro-American.) Boston; Mass., June 21—A call has been issued by the Executive Committee of the National Independent Political League for the third annual meeting to be held in Atlantic City, August 4th and 5th. The call is signed by Bishop Alexander Walters as president, and William Monroe Trotter as secretary. The circular accuses President Taft of having violated his oath of office, in drawing the color line by refusing to appoint colored men to office in the Southern States where the Negro is prohibited from voting, and catering to the white people in the South. It also calls attention to the unequal and oppressive laws which have destroyed all the civil rights of the Negro, including exclusion from public parks, libraries and other public places, inferior schools, segregation in travel and the tyranny of taxation without representation. It also states that the most harmful and portentous crusade of race discrimination of hate and color prejudices is in action under the present administration of President Tatt. That unique degradation of free citizen, s gregation by color in public carriers, has been sanctioned and nationalized by a federal commission, while the federal court in support declares the right of even interstate railroads to segregate colored passengers.

C. Grice, while the newspaper disishes used Grice and Bryce.

The Discovery Of Arms Smuggled Across The Border Gives Warning To The Government And Drastic Measures Are Taken To Suppress The Movement—The Uprising Had Been Arranged By The Opposition To Diaz—Troops Hurrying To The Northern Border. _____ Cananea, Mexico (Special).—The premature discovery of smuggled arms and ammunition, followed by the arrest of leaders in the discontented faction and proclamation of martial law in Cananea and other border towns, probably has checked and discouraged a serious outbreak against the Mexican government, scheduled to take place on election day. The revolutionary movement originated among young men of Northern Mexico, followers, it is said, of Gen Bernardo Reyes, now in Europe, and of Senor Madero, candidate for president, now under arrest in Monterey on the charge of causing crowds to form. The discontented faction demands political liberty free speech and the "right to vote." They announce that they will go to the polls on election day prepared to fight if denied their constitutional rights.

ROOSEVELT'S HOMECOMING A PICTURESQUE EVENT The Mighty Hunter Laughs and Weeps. BRIEF OFFICIAL WELCOMING SPEECH From Beginning Of The Celebration In The Harbor Until He Starts For Oyster Bay, He Shows The Most Exuberant Spirits—Unconventional Greetings To Old Friends. New York (Special). — Theodore Roosevelt is home, the happiest man alive. His reception in the gateway of his country went straight to his heart. He laughed like a boy. He wept unashamed. Nothing in all his career—he said it with clinched jaws and a bang of his fist—so affected him as the fervency of the greeting he got on land and water. From this year and a quarter of hunting and sightseeing and speech- making he returns with no politics in his mouth. Theodore Roosevelt was no man's critic Saturday. His delight embraced them all. For the strenuous, the mollycoddles, the of the soft body and the hard face, the big and little in the world's estimation he had the same smile—and the citizen cheek with the same enlightenment. He said once that he felt like reaching out and giving the whole United States a hug. In Fine Spirits. He had an expansive smile for everybody, a cheery word for "the boys," his old friends, the newspaper men, a pat anecdote for the politicians, especial greetings of affection for his old command, the Rough Riders, and a quick eye for absolutely everything. "Boosevelt good luck" still followed its namesake. Though hot and sultry, the weather held fair until the marine parade, the exercises at the Battery and the march up Broadway and Fifth Avenue to Central Park had been carried through with punctuality and precision. Then it canned great guns. A torrent of churned shower, accompanied by a high wind that did much damage, event suddenly downward on the homeward-bound, without stop, but cleared again nearly before 5 o'clock. In plenty of time to give his cagel fellow-citizens of Long Island amble chance to see him standing on the rear platform of his special train as he waved them a welcome. Contrasts. With a generation, the nation remembers three great welcomes before this of today—to General Grant in San Francisco, after his triumphal tour of the world, following the expiration of his two terms as President; to Admiral Dewey on his return from his capture of the Philippines and to William Jennings Bryan, also after a tour of the world. The welcome to Grant was the most tumultuous, that to Dewey the most elaborate and stately, but the welcome to Roosevelt was shot through with a dramatic expectancy, which long ago found popular expression in the typical phrase—"the return from Elba." Out Of The Mists. His welcome began when the Hamburg-American steamship Kalserin Auguste Victoria at 6.45 A. M. loomed through the mists off Sandy Hook, and it ended, so far as this city is concerned, only when he went aboard his train for Oyster Bay at 4.30 P. M. At 8 o'clock, off Quarentine, he was received by representatives of President Taft and Governor Hughes and senators and governors and legislators and private citizens of distinction were waiting to grasp his hand. New York Bay, under a splendid sun, was dotted with ships of war and merchant vessels associated to escort him up the North River and back to the Batteries. The battleship South Carolina's pigs were playing for him the heroic music that is reserved for honour the first citizen of the republic, and five of the most powerful torpedo-boat destroyers of the United States Navy were straining their anchor chains to show him the way home. He came up the bay on the revenue cutter Androscoggin after greeting on board the cutter Manhattan his children who had remained in this country and a few intimate friends. The reception committee selected by Mayor Gaynor surrounded him on the Androscoggin and shook hands with him one by one as the steamer moved up the harbor. For nearly every man who passed him in the line he had a few words of gay greeting. He was like a man on springs. He joked. He went back over the years and recalled when this and that merry adventure had happened. Now and then he was sober in a flash. His jaw set hard greeting a few old friends. It was "I'm so glad!" The fervency of his welcome grew as he approached the land. When he touched foot on Manhattan Island at 10.56 A. M., there were 100,000 people around Battery Park to rear a welcome. On the stand near Pier A Mayor Gaynor greeted him with the briefest of speeches, and Colonel Roosevelt, with almost equal brevity, assured the Mayor and his fellow-citizens that he was glad to be home and that no man could get such a reception without being made to feel proud and very humble. And presently he was on his way up Broadway through greater crowds Holdup By Masked Men. Cleveland, O. (Special).—Five masked men held up and robbed Elmer Demarest, superintendent, and Charles Peters, foreman, of the Cleveland Trimidad Paving Company, near Newburg, securing a pay satchel containing $1,000. In an exciting pursuit by a sheriff's posse over 15 miles, during which shots were exchanged and one member of the posse wounded, one of the robbers was captured and the money recovered. than ever gathered in that canyon in any one's memory. With the Rough Riders ahead of him and 400 frock-coated and silk-hatted officials and prominent citizens in carriages, behind him, he moved along with Mayor Gaynor and Cornelius Vanderbilt, and there was no doubting his popularity. The final scene of his welcome was as dramatic as any lover of sensations may hope for. These Rough Riders were drawn up facing down Fifth Avenue, and the first thing he did was to stride from horse to horse and shake hands with every rider of them. The Spanish War veterans of the whole country presented him an album of complimentary resolutions, in acceptance of which Mr. Roosevelt spoke a dozen earnest words. It was all over in a whiff and at 1.35 P. M. he was speeding down Fifth Avenue in a motor car on his way to lunch at 433 Fifth Avenue, the home of Mrs. H. A. Alexander, the mother of his son Theodore's fiancee. He went to Long Island City for his train in a furious storm of wind and rain, and the flags that had been so gay were nothing but sodden rags. But his luck, as the city said, had held. The fogs had rolled away for him. The sun had brightened his reception. For all of the celebration that counted there had been perfect weather; Thousands who were making homeward from Broadway and Fifth Avenue were drenched, but they took it in the best of humor. They had itzed and cheered and got excited and they had taken part in a spectacle that even New York will remember for many a day. MAIL BY AEROPLANE. Congressman Wants Government To Make Trial Tests.

Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Crop news continues encouraging, the iron and steel market improves, while foreign trade now shows an excess of exports, and in these three important particulars the business outlook is distinctly better. There is further improvement in iron, with increased inquiry at the leading producing centers. More orders have been placed for pig iron, and the tonnage already booked for delivery during the second half of the year is heavy. Existing quotations are considered very low, and in consequence there is less disposition on the part of consumers to defer purchases in expectation of concessions. The primary dry goods market still reflect light trading, but agents handling cotton goods lines are holding prices generally firm. Jobbers in Western markets have been shading prices at clearance sales to reduce stocks preliminary to stock taking, while announcement is made by a large Eastern house that the usual semi-alternate clearance sales will be omitted on the ground that costs of replacement are above current values. Staple printed goods are selling in small lots, but Western advises state that business promises to be better next month, and there is more inquiry for denims and colored goods. Miscellaneous export trade in cotton goods holds up well. Men's woolens rule quiet, but a little better business is noted in some parts of the dress goods market, warmer weather stimulating interest in seasonable merchandise. The feature from the producers' standpoint, is the substantial increase in curtailment. New orders for fall footwear continue small, and the situation is generally unsatisfactory. Trade in leather continues dull and prices on most descriptions are weak.

GOLDEN TEXT.—"Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father." Matt. 13:43. TIME.—Autumn, A. D. 28. PLACE.—By the Sea of Galilee, near Capernaum. EXPOSITION.—I. Two Sowers, 24, 25. Here, as in the preceding lesson, Jesus appears as a sower of good seed; but in the preceding parable "the seed is the Word of God," in this parable "the good seed are the sons of the kingdom" (v. 38). But the sons of the kingdom are themselves the product of the Word of God (Jas. 1:18; I Pet. 1:23); so that there is a close connection between the two parables and the two sowings. It is by sowing "the Word of God" that the Son of man sows "sons of the kingdom." "There are in this world "sons of the kingdom" only because Jesus had sown them. The world is "His Geld." He has purchased it by His blood; the devil has lorefied it by his unfaithfulness. But the devil does not like to rellenquish the world of which he was once the prince (Jno. 12:31). But the world belongs to Christ, "the sons of the evil one" are sown in it, but they don't belong in it, and when the harvest comes they will be gathered out and sent to their own place. There is deep significance in two words in verse 25, "His enemy." The devil is our enemy, but he is primarily Christ's enemy. There is no one whom he hates as he hates the Son of God. Christ receives what the devil aspired to, the worship of the unclematt. Heb. 1:6; Ev. 5:11-13; comp. 4:9; Ez. 28:16, 17). The devil works at every step. The devil comes by stealth and sows tares. The devil is the stealth and sows tares. The certainty of his existence, the malignity of his heart, the activity of his movements, the cunning of his operations, the subtlety of his methods. If there is a personal devil, the meaning of Christ, this parable is meaningless. There is absolutely no necessity in the draught of the parable to bring him to the office in his devil because he exists in fact. The tares in the world are his work. Christ sows "sons of the kingdom" by sowing good seed, "the Word of God," the devil sows "sons of the evil one" by sowing bad seed, doubts and questions and error (Gen. 3:1, 4; 2 Thess. 2:9, 10). The devil did his work "him men slept." He always acts under cover and while men are off guard. He does much of his work to-day while Christians and ministers are dozing. He brings in the subtleties of disguised infidelity ("higher criticism," etc.) and masked pantheism while we are nodding, and some day we wake up to find the "tares" springing up everywhere among the wheat. When the devil had done his work he "went away." He got out of sight. He always does. He even stirs up some to argue that "there isn't any devil anyway." II. Two Crops Growing Together, 20-29. There are just two classes of men: "Sons of the kingdom" or "children of God," and "sons of the evil one" (v. 38, R. V.), or "children of the devil" (1 John, 3:10). The two classes are not always distinguishable or separable at the outset (vs. 29, 30), but they will be distinguished and separated when they are ripe, the one for heaven and the other for hell. But it will, fortunately, be the angels and not men who do the separating (v. 41). History furnishes countless instances of the devil's sowing tares among Christ's wheat (e.g., Jno. 13:2; Acts 5:3; 20:29). Both history and the Word of God warn us against deciding that all appears "among the wheat" must itself be wheat. While the tares were not distinguishable from the wheat until they began to grow, they were tares from the very first. There were those who wished to root up the tares at once, but the time was not ripe, nor were they competent to do the task. There are those who in haste to extirpate "the sons of the evil one" at once from the world, but the Master says, "let them both grow together until the harvest." Premature separation, by religious persecution, would mean injury to wheat as well as destruction to tares. This history has abundantly proven. This parable does not forbid church discipline. "The field is"—not the church, but "the world" (v. 38). Church discipline is positively commanded in the Bible (1 Cor. 5:3-5; 11; Rom. 16:17; 2 Thess. 3:6, 14). In the delay in separating the chaff from the wheat we have another illustration of God's long-suffering (cf. 2 Pet. 3:9). III. Two Harvests, 30, 35, 36-41. Separation comes at last. It is "in the end of the age" (v. 39, R. V, darg.) "the reapers are the angels." They are to be the ministers of God's boundless grace towards "the sons of the kingdom" and the executioners of His wrath towards "the sons of the evil one." The tares are to be "gathered" and the wheat is to be "gathered"; but the one for burning in it is inconsolable grief and where there is inconsolable grief and rage (v. 42), the other into God's storehouse, "the kingdom of their Father," where "they shall shine forth as the sun." Is the fire literal? It is in the interpretation of the parable as well as in the parable itself. Evil is not to gradually disappear from the world, to but grow side by side with the wheat "until the harvest." More Than Knowledge. Good nature is worth more than knowledge, more than money, to the persons who possess it, and certainly to everybody who dwells with them, in so far as more happiness is construed.—Henry Ward Beecher. ae eS ee an ane Te — — | hieresa ‘Lee, Profenaor and Mrs: Jobn | “NOTES” ON “RAGE” PROGRESS: sae = MINESAND = or aie ES TE RP LN we ‘ : : eriwathen, Mise Sille Mertwetner, | "acy aleey Many ee eee ae lt.” DISCOVERED: 4 PRPs ge RA e i ic j gi | Seriwer Nek’ Daguel slureay, Bro.

Immediately following the inauguration of Mr. Taft as President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt left the National Capital, the scene of many a political battle and victory, and was soon off on his big game hunt in the wilds of Africa. Though thousands of miles away, beyond heaving seas, amid the primeval forests of darkest Africa, he held his place in the eve of the world and the public points of the nations. When at last he came out of the African forests he began again his popular sermon on the square deal and has not flinched, though in his track were sages, potentates and the crowned heads of the governments of the East. No man has been accorded such consideration in the public prints as Mr. Roosevelt. In Egypt, in Italy, as in the great capitals of France, Germany and Great Britain, he has been the same tactile stout-hearted stateman whose acts and preachments have made his name a household word in every town and hamlet in the nation. When one begins the quest for the underlying reasons for the great popularity of Theodore Koosevelt, several things will be found contributing to it. In stating these, we might begin with the one which lies at the bottom of all the rest and has given to them foundation. That first thing giving ground to his popularity is the fact that he is a man of the people, has developed with them and therefore understands them. This has enabled him to do what the people needed to have one, and what the people needed to have said. In accounting for his popularity it must not be forgotten that he is a many-sided man, does a ripe scholar; he is a level headed statesman; he is an interest author; he is a great hunter and a naturalist is an authority on gigantic. Then to add to all of his he is a man of rugged honour believes in the gold, rule and the courage of his convictions. Now, any man who looks at these qualities, as rooted in the life of a man, will not find it hard to account for the popularity of Mr. Roosevelt. His homeward trip through the monarchies of the East was more like the pageant of a king than that of a private citizen of the United States. The reception given him at New York where men, women and children cheered, while whistles screamed and cannons boomed, excels even the magnificent pageants accorded Grant and Dewey. From every quarter of the nation, expressions of good will have poured in upon the man, who alone is accountable for the moral awakening of the nation. But the scene that touched his heart above all others was the appearance of the remnant of the regiment of Rough Riders, who on the bloody slopes of San Juan Hill fought the battles of the oppressed. This moved him to tears as he remembered those awful days of camp and siege with comrades. In all that parade with all of its magnificence and splendor the thing was missing which would have formed the climacterate; and that was the Tenth Cavalry, whose daring and valor routed the Spanish soldier, and saved the Seventy-first New York from annihilation, and saved our Roosevelt, the man of the hour. THE EXPOSITION. The agitation in reference to the Exposition to be held at Baltimore in 1914 is already statewide, and in fact is of national interest. And this is as it should be for the returns of an Exposition are many and important. Great educators, captains of industry and masters of finance are manifesting an interest in the contemplated Exposition, because when the show is over, there will still remain the permanent buildings and valuable grounds of which the Johns Hopkins University is to become the residuary legatee. By thus erecting valuable buildings and turning them over to the purposes of education the usual waste of Expositions will be avoided and valuable material resources will be conserved. Now note some things the Exposition will do: First. It will beget a general business stir among the people of Baltimore and cause the city fathers to look about the Monumental City and get read, to entertain the coming hosts, whose eye will be everywhere, to see what manner of city Baltimore is. Second. It will start hundreds of new boarding enterprises to say nothing about the enlargement and refitting of many a hostlery that the coming thousands may have a place to lay their heads that the hospitality of the city may be well spoken of. Third. It will create a spirit of unity and good fellowship among all the peoples of Baltimore, for they will then be united in a common cause, to make the Exposition great and impress the world with the proper idea of the strength and courtesy of the citizenship of the city. Fourth. It will be a wonderful stimulus to educate, especially in the fields of science, art, invention and industry. From these exhibits, there will result the quickening of thought and invention in many fields where now the pace is slow. Fifth. It will mean another face to face view of the races of mankind and another opportunity for American to show the depth of its civilization and the real value of its Christian profession. But with all of this the Exposition will not be complete unless some chance is shown the ninety thousand colored citizens of Baltimore to get in on the ground floor by having committee representation and a department where the results of the skill and industry of the Afro-Americans can be presented for world review. We respectfully call the Mayor's attention to this important phase of an Exposition which will, in the end be of international fame. We trust that the leasibility of such action will be at once evident and will not be overlooked by our city executive when he begins the work of naming the committee to further the project of the Exposition. We respectfully call the attention of Councilman Cummings, to this particular phase of the Exposition, and ask him to use this influence to promote a colored department in the Exposition. THE WORLD'S MISSIONARY CONVENTION VENTION. There is in session in Edinburg, Scotland, what is known as the World's Missionary Convention. This convention is composed of missionary workers of world-wide fame and distinction. The convention is free from any deominational aspects and has for its objects the consideration of methods for the evangelizing of the world. The convention and the results honored for afford interest to the world at large. Such a convention cannot fail to be productive of much good and perhaps a missionary spirit will be emphasized at that convention that will be world wide in its beating. The reports sent out by the Associated Press indicate that an elaborate undertaking, so far as missionaries are concerned, will be inaugurated. Among the questions that have come up for consideration is the question of Christianizing the Jews of the world. Perhaps this is the most difficult undertaking that concerns this World's Missionary Convention. The proposition is difficult, because of the peculiar relations of the Jewish nation. The Jewish nation has always been exclusive. So far as its matrimonial relations are concerned it is one of the most exclusive of the peoples of the world. The religion of the Jews has been peculiar. Unlike all other religions of the world the Jew people have been almost entirely free from efforts to proselyte people to the Jewish faith. The history of the Jewish people has been the most remarkable, and at the same time, most interesting of any race history. With these peculiarities confronting the efforts to convert the Jewish race to Christianity, the proposition at once assumes enormous propositions. Aside from these distinctively peculiar characteristics of the Jews, the treatment of the Jews has been, in its worst form, from nations that have professed Christianity. The prejudice against the Jews on account of their race, their exclusiveness and their history handicaps the work of Christianizing the Jews at the outset and the missionaries having in view the Christianizing of the Jews meet with an almost insurmountable obstacle at the very start. The persecution of the Jews, the prejudice directed against them, and then too by representatives of Christianity, are sad commentaries of Christianity. While the Jews have been exclusive in their history, while they have been exclusive in their marital relations and while they have been exclusive in their religion they have been philanthropists in the highest sense. Whenever they have touched civilization, civilization has been the gainer. Wherever they have touched the commercial interests of the country, these interests have been improved. Wherever they have chosen countries by adoption they have been among the most patriotic citizens, and yet with all these credits that stand to the honor of the Jewish nation, their recompense have been ostracism, prejudice, persecution and death. If Christianity is intended to make brothers of mankind, if it is intended to be productive of good citizenship, if it is intended to do away with racial lines, it is a debatable question as to whether or not Christianity or Judaism has done the more along these lines. With these commendable credits standing out in favor of the Jews the question naturally arises "Would the world be benefited at all if this Missionary Convention should realize its dream and convert the Jews to Christianity?" Take the Jews of this country alone. They have been and are still the most prominent factors in the commercial interests of our country. They have been patriotic in war. They have been on the side of the betterment of the city institutions. They have contributed largely to the breaking down of race barriers. We are almost led to believe that if the Jews were in control of governmental affairs in this country; in complete control of the commercial interests, had entire charge of the civil rights of all the people, that the prejudice directed against ten millions of Negroes of this country would be almost entirely wiped out Perhaps we will be charged with a lack of orthodoxy but until Christianity puts the teachings of its founder into actual practice we trust that the missionary efforts of Edinburgh Convention, so far as they relate to the evangelization of the Jews, will not materialize. We are Christian in our belief and practice. We believe in the teachings of the founder of Christianity, but in practice the world has so far strayed from the teachings of its founder that we hesitate to lend our efforts to the turning of our Jewish friends nao Christians of this latter day sort. The universal experience of the Negroes of this country in dealing with the opposite race of latter day Christians make many of us, even those who are deeply rooted in the faith, become skeptical of Christianity. The Edinburgh Convention has a herculean task before it as long as the Caucasian race has for its chief article of faith that it is created to govern the darker races of the world without their consent. No one person is good enough to govern another person without that person's consent. That a policy of silence on the part of race leaders, against racial discriminations, was doing harm to the Negro and that conditions in the South were misrepresented to the North, were the assertions made by Rev. W. E. B. DuBois of Atlanta University, in an interview with a representative of the Afro-American Ledger last Saturday morning. Dr. DuBois came to the city last Friday to make the address to the graduates at the commencement exercises of the colored High School. "The say-nothing policy on our part," said Dr. DuBois, "has not helped us a particle. The thing to do with the Negro question is to attack it as any other great social problem would be attacked and then to do what reason, fair-play and justice would dictate to be done in remedying conditions and bringing about a solution. A let-alone policy is dangerous. The so-called Negro problem is not nearing a solution, when we consider disfrandisfranchisement, separate cars and curtailed educational facilities. "We must make the white people understand conditions as they are and hasten the day of better things. A campaign of education should be waged." NORTH IS IGNORANT. "The North really knows but little of the hardships our people undergo in the South. The men who go North to raise money for colored schools tell the northerners of the possibilities of the Negro in the South, that he is getting along alright and they make little or no mention of the hardships which prejudice makes his lot. "Some years ago, Thomas Nelson Page, the author, advised young Southern white men to go North and get on the daily papers. The advice was heeded, and today some of the most influential journalists in the North are men of Southern bitrh. Many of the headlines in the northern papers are written by southern men and thus sentient is created against us." "Pew, if any of the magazines want anything about the Negro unless it is in line with the teachings of Dr. Booker T. Washington or entirely hostile to the race. In fact, the southern influence in some of the magazines published in the North is very strong. "We must stem the tide by getting the dormant North to see conditions as they really exist. "The public schools for colored children in the South are worse than they were ten years ago. In the city of Atlanta, for instance, there are two high schools for the whites and not one for colored. The property of the schools for the whites is valued at $890,000; while DR. HARVEY JOHNSON ENTERTAINS TEACHERS Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson and his congregation were the hosts to a reception to teachers in the local public schools at Union Baptist Church last Monday night. The reception was largely attended by teachers and others. Addresses of greeting to the teachers were delivered by Rev. G. R. Waller, W. Ashbie Hawkins, Dr. W. H. Wright, Mr. J. H. Murphy and Mr. John Henry Smith. Responses were made by Mr. J. W. Woodhouse, president of the High School Alamini Association; Prof. Mason A. Hawkins, principal of the Colored High School, who spoke on the "Past, Present and Future of the Colored" "High School"; Prof. Joseph H. Lockerman, who spoke on "Colored Supervisors in the Public Schools"; Messrs. George B. Murphy and H. T. Pratt, who spoke on "Our Elementary and Grammar School." Dr. S. Hawkins precluded. Dr. Harvey Johnson has been greatly interested in the teachers for years, and was one of the leaders in the movement, which resulted in colored teachers in the city schools. A collation was served after the exercises. that for the colored is only valued at $40,000. Of the $600,000, recently voted in bonds for the betterment of the school facilities in that city, only $85,000 will be extended on the colored. The colored teachers are also paid less, and this obtains in a city in which 40 per cent. of the residents are colored. Conditions in the rural districts are, of course much worse. "In the sixteen former slave States, including Missouri, there are 112 institutions classed as public high schools for, colored boys and girls. Many of these schools are only high schools in name, and are supported mostly by private benevolence. "The agricultural and mechanical colleges in the South receive about 82 per cent. of the money given under the Morrill act. State appropriations lower the maney received by colored schools to about 14 per cent of all the 'moneys' appropriated. Yet 36 per cent., over one-third, of the people in the South are colored. NATIONAL AID NEEDED A partial remedy for these bad educational facilities is for the United States government to appropriate money each year to aid public education in the States. The Blair bill, the object of which was to aid the schools of the South, was defeated a quarter of a century ago. The National Negro Committee, at its recent session in New York, appointed Superintendent Maxwell, of the New York public schools, chairman of a committee to revive the Blair bill. "The great advance in intelligence, the ownership of property and success in business and professional lines show that we are going forward tremendously. New lines of opposition are developing, however. "In Oklahoma there is a thrifty and intelligent colored populace. In Boley, one of the six towns wholly managed by Negroes, they have electric lights and a telephone service. The telegraph operator is a colored man, as well as the station agent, and yet Oklahoma seems to be a hot-bed of anti-Negro sentiment. "The problem is one that needs our most enlightened efforts and straightforward, manly assertion. Cringing submission will not hasten the day of equality of opportunity and citizenship." Dr. DuBois said that he had not decided to accept the position of the publicity add investigation bureau to which he was recently elected by the National Negro Committee at its meeting in New York. The position will pay $2,500 a year. REV. D. G. MACK The Macedonia Baptist Church Saratoga and Vincent streets, is now undergoing extensive repairs, being handsomely decorated and painted throughout, and when finished will be one of the handsomest chapels in the city and a well-deserving tribute to its hard working pastor and congregation. Rev. W. G. Mack is the popular pastor. MARRIED TEN YEARS The tenth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. John Gray, was celebrated at their residence, 1418 Harlard avenue, on Monday evening, June 20. Quite a number of their friends were present who came to wish them a long and happy life. They received many useful presents. Mr. James Ward and Cyrus Bell have returned from a ten-day trip to the Eastern Shore of Virginia. A fine chance for the children. The playgrounds open on Monday, and they can run, jump, play in the sand, swing, enjoy the games and have a general good time. Walters' Bath House on Argyle avenue, is being used to its tallest extent. Take a fine shower, keep clean and cool during the summer. In a warmly contested game the Weldons defeated Trinity's baseball aggregation, by a score of 7 to 5. Trinity is playing a fast and snappy game this season and bars no organization. The Y. M. C. A. and Maryland Club have a rub up next Thursday. The League is gradually getting into snake. Trinity bids fair to retain the "Loving Cup." Things are getting mighty interesting for boys at the Y. M. C. A. They have an organization which controls their baseball, bowling and other games. It is hoped the public will see the importance of training the youth while they are young, in things that mean the development of manly character. The great fight is being questioned on all sides. Time will determine the weighty questions in the public's eye. Let your child play in one of the playgrounds and you will know where he is. Send your boy or girl to some play yard near by, they will be gladly received. Playgrounds will be opened in the following places: School 100, Mount and Saratoga streets. School 110, Waesche street, near Fremont avenue. School 106, Hill street, near Sharp street. School 111, Ashland avenue, and Bond street. Colored High School, Dolphin street and Pennsylvania avenue. Druid Hill Park, No. 3 Grove. Any boy or girl who wants to play and have a fine time may go to the nearest playground. DIPLOMAS AWARDED. "The old belief that by a minister opening his mouth to let God fill it means that many times it will be filled with wihd only." The foregoing was an utterance by Mrs. Carey B. Molock at the third annual commencement exercises of the Association Institution held at Tabernacle Baptist Church Wednesday evening. "We commonly," she continued, "expet help when we do our utmost to advance ourselves. The educated man and woman have far better opportunity for success than the ignorant." The invocation was by Rev. J. A. Dennis, after which Rev. A. M. Molock, head of the institution, delivered a brief address: emphasizing the advantages which education gives a man. Rev. Dr. F. R Williams delivered an address in which he declared that the aim of the institution was to lift from the lowest station to the loftiest heights. President Molock presented diplomas to the following. Rev. Smith Allen Howell, of Newport News, Va, honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity, Mrs. C. B. Molock, master of science, Oscar Richardson, Enanuel Jones and Thamus F. Wyatt, preparatory department, and Miss Barnetta Aurilia Chester, who completed the normal course. The benediction was by Rev. R. W. Bubanks, after which a reception was tendered the graduates. The school is located at Mulligan and Spring streets, and Rev. Mr. Molock, who is a man of liberal education, has been reaching many that other agencies would not reach AGED LADY PASSES AWAY Mrs. Lucy Hose, a prominent resident of Goranstown, Md., departed this life, aged 97, Tuesday 21st at 11.20 p. m. Two daughters, 2 sons, one stepson and one stepdaughter survive her. She was buried from Mt. Zion M. B. Church. who he was, and his position, he being chairman of the Conference Com- rision Executive Committee, and I told him who I was, and later I met Bishop Hamilton, of the Methodist Episcopal church, and one or two others, and this ended our meeting. Soon it was time for dinner, and went in, had a nice dinner, made terms with the steward who was to serve us in our stay. Already Dunnison had fed his bed- room steward, and engaged him to serve his meals in his room during the voyage. Sunday morning I was up early and out on deck, but before leaving the room, I made Dr. Robinson get out of bed and told him that he was not to have his meals brought to the room. He was obedient, so when breakfast was ready Dr. Rankin went for him and we were at our table. audience. Services at 10:30, and us three black men walked in for to do our part of listening. The people were polite, furnished us with books, and reading matter and we did enjoy ourselves giving to the services. Bishop Hamilton then introduced us to several other ministers. The while people soon recognized that they had in their mid-t three men, who were both independent and proud, and you could see the stiffness leaving them. Sunday night they had another service, and we were right there. Bishop Hamiton preached and after his sermon called on Dr. Rankin to lead in prayer. He was on to his job and seemed to know just where the Lord was and he had no trouble in reaching Him. I believe the Lord heard his prayer, and the next day many of them told me how much the prayer of my brother. He represented 'us all. Then they began to seek us, to make us feel like one of them. I was never with as many white people in all my life, and I never had so much to say to them. Color pr justice soon left the boat and a man was a man, and was so recognized. Bishop Hamilton, his family, Dr. Brown, Dr. J. Malcomu Shaw, of Chicago, Dr. Stone, of Chicago, and other big men. Our brother from Richmond, Va., laid aside the Civil war and came down. He forgot how me and General Grant cleaned up his country along time ag., and shook hands with me. It is a company of men and women. Then I went back in the second cabin and the people back there made much over me. While he was old and not up to date they come to lose sight of this and made me feel at home. Scottish flowers on me, and I enjoyed this on the boat, and it is nrd to tell what it will be when I reach land. I am going to make more and more friends. They are going to give the information song it. I have been invited by a woman to dance with her, but I could not do this, because I am a Bap ist. I have the following note today: Dear Col. Midnight; You are invited to take part on the program in concert, first Cabin, Friday night.17 I have also been invited-to take part in the concert at the same time in the second cabin. I do not know just what I will do, but will let you know in my next letter. We have been sailing and saiing, Tuesday morning, when I got up and went out on deck, I was informed that land was in sight. Dr. Shaw called my attention to a woman milking a cow, but I could not see the woman, nor the cow, but told him I heard the milking flowing. Soon we were right in sight of land. It was Cape Race. I looked and looked at the land, until it was out of sight. Just as we were at dinner, the steward rushed up and told us that he was in sight of an iceberg, so I went out to see it. Just to think of a great big cake of ice out in the ocean. The captain said that it stood 175 feet high have never seen such a thing since I we been in the world. It was nice racae moon. None of my party have been sick since we started out. We are able to eat as often as they want us to eat and I enjoyed it very much. I am writing this letter on Thursday, June 8. We expect to reach Glasgow next Sunday morning, and will mail this letter Monday, so I will be able to add a little bit to it. If not then in next week, I will tell you about our landing and what we have been doing. We are going to do some getting around. FIVE THOUSAND HEAR TAFT AT LINCOLN cism in past years—hapily growing less and less nowadays—tending to enn the higher education of the colored man as us less, and maintaining that we ought to strive to train him solely in the primary and secondary steps. I grant that we ought not to give all men a university training. I grant that more precisely readily—all the more readily; for what prospect is there of our ever trying to do so? And then we are told that it is impossible for two races such as the white and black to prosper, side by side. In some war, it is said, we must get rid of the black. How is it then that for several hundred years we have living side by side with the colored man-for over forty years th the free colored man—and we have managed to get along very well! "In the second place the colored man does not amalgate with the white. They conduct themselves independently as a people. And so they must have their leaders as overy people must. "It, if they the colored people, are to have their leaders, it is most necessary to give to some of them an education to fit them for lead-role. Not a professional education, slope will suffice; they need an academic training for a foundation for their professional training. It is for this reason that I am glad to come here today to visit an institution that is doing God's work in this regard." CHILDREN'S DAY Pocomoke City, June 23—Children's Day exercises at St. John's A. M. E. Church were largely attended. Sunday, and the program was the best ever presented here. A special sermon was preached in the morning by Ren S. Stuges The collection was exceptionally good. Children's Day exercises were also held at St. Mary's M. E. church which were well attended and a fine program rendered. The collection was a good one. The entertainment at St. John's Hall on Monday night was well attended. Music was furnished by the Southern Star Band. Miss Jane Miller and Mr. Jodia Armstrong were married on last Wednesday evening by Rev. Thomas Wesley. The happy couple will reside on Oxford street. Miss Hattie M. Fields has returned from a very pleasant trip to Baltimore. The entertainment given at Mt. Zion M. E. church last Tuesday, was a pleasant affair. CHILDREN'S DAY SERVICES Were One Of The Features At Union Bethel Last Sunday Denton, Md., June 28 - For the last ten days it has rained incessantly and the farmers are apprehensive about their wheat crop. Another week of rain will cause no little damage to the wheat. This season has been very profitable to the strawberry growers and also to the pickers. The cold weather kept the berries growing and added much to their quality. Children's Day Services were the chief attraction at Union Bethel A. M. E. church, Rev. J G Bryant, pastor. After a stormy Saturday night, on Sunday morning the sun rose in kingly splendor, without a cloud to dispute his reign. At the mid-day services there was a large and appreciative audience of adults and young folks to hear Mr. Charles B. Bailey. It was a special sermon for the parents. His subject was "The Training of Children." The church was tastefully decorated and the altar was a bower of flowers. At $ P. M., a well prepared program of recitations, solos, duets, choruses and the reading of thoughtful papers. The exercises were very interesting and instructive. Union Bethel church is alive along all lines of church work. Mrs. Frank Duke and Mrs. Homer Taylor, of Baltimore, were the guests of Mrs. Duke's parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Bailey last Sunday. Rev. J. G. Bryant and a goodly number of his Sunday School scholars were at the Children's Day services on the 12th inst. at John Wesley M. E. church of this town, Rev. F. T. Johnson, pastor.

In the midst of all this work on the part of nine regular rally parties the Silver Star Social, Miss Carrie Lockley, president, has entered the arena and is raising a purse for the rally: Under the management and instruction of Miss Ziporia Folks and Mrs. Bessie Henderson, the social gave a magnificent program at the church on Monday night. The program had many striking and interesting features and was so entirely fresh and new that the whole audience upon a motion by Mr. John Jackson voted to request the social to repeat the program in the near future.

Writing of a popular artist of the day who happens to be unmarried, a contributor to one of the current magazines says: "In these days a man doesn't indulge in matrimony until he has achieved 40 and a fat bank balance." What folly! When will writers stop attributing to mankind in general the thoughts and habits which pertain only to an insignificant minority? The average man, if he marries at all, "indulges in matrimony" long before he is 40 and still longer before he has a "fat bank balance." It matters comparatively little to him, or to his wife, if she is as sensible as she ought to be, whether the fat bank balance ever matures. And both of them are unfortunate if marriage is postponed, unnecessarily till either rejoices the age of 40. At 40 a man ought to have children approaching graduation from the high school. He may even have a son in college: the better for him if he has. A comfortable balance at the bank is an admirable attribute to any home, but it is not so important as that the home be established. If men postponed matrimony till they were 40 and were listed in Bradstreet's—well, what sort of a world would this be, anyway?—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A DETERMINED WOMAN Finally Found a Food That Cured Her. "When I first read of the remarkable effects of Grape-Nuts food, I determined to secure some," says a woman of Salisbury, Mo. "At that time there was none kept in this town, but my husband ordered some from a Chicago traveler. "I had been greatly afflicted with sudden attacks of cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Tried all sorts of remedies and physicians, but obtained only temporary relief. As soon as I began to use the new food the cramps disappeared and have never returned. "My old attacks of sick stomach were a little slower to yield, but by continuing the food, that trouble has disappeared entirely. I am to-day perfectly well, can eat anything and everything I wish, without paying the penalty that I used to. We would not keep house without Grape-Nuts. "My husband was so delighted with the benefits I received that he has been recommending Grape-Nuts to his customers and has built up a very large trade on the food. He sells them by the case to many of the leading physicians of the county, who recommend Grape-Nuts very generally. There is some satisfaction in using a really scientifically prepared food."

JOHNSON NOW FULLY PREPARED. Will Defeat Jeffries In Eighteen Rounds, Says Champion. Will Defeat Jeffries In Eighteen Rounds, Says Champion. "FIGHTING IS MY BUSINESS." Heavyweight Pugilist Has Won All of His Battles Without Using His Reserve Force, but In the Coming Battle He Will Let Out Every Link In His Body. "Perhaps you'll think I'm kidding," he laughed, "but what I'm going to say is in dead earnest. As sure us the sun shines on us today I expect to knock out Jim Jeffries within eighteen rounds, or you can make it twenty, to be exact. It may take a trifle longer than I look for, but not a minute over twenty, and that goes." Thus spoke Heavyweight Champion Jack Johnson in an extended interview when seen at his Seal Rock training quarters, Ocean Beach, San Francisco, where he is now fully prepared for his coming battle with James J. Jeffries July 4. Continuing, the champion said: "This is no press stuff that I'm handing out either. You've asked me a straight question, and I'm giving you the straight goods to the best of my ability. I believe that I have the Indian sign on Jeffries, and when the time comes some of the smart fellows who are figuring on seeing a big hog killing with me playing the part of the hog are in for the surprise of their lives. "Now, in the first place, fighting is a simple matter of business with me. I'm in the game for what I can make out of it, and personal likes and dislikes don't cut any ice with me any more than they do with any other busi- Photo by American Press Association. JACK JOHNSON. ness man who lays his plans to clean up a bunch of money. Of course I'm proud of being the first Negro that has held the world's heavyweight championship. It's only human nature that I should be. "I never fought a man yet that I didn't have some notion of how he intended to go at me. Intuition, I think, is what the learned guys call it. Anyhow, whatever it is, I've got it." Johnson paused for a second. His big white teeth came together with a snap like a steel trap, and his heavy jaws set rigidly. For the first time during the interview the suspicion of a frown lowered on his brows as he said emphatically: "The man doesn't live on this earth who can throw me around just as he wants to. Jim Jeffries is a strong follow all right, but when he bumps into me he'll be buckling up with a man that's every bit as strong as he is. Where do some of these dopesters get the bunch from that I'm a chicken compared to blim? I know I don't look the part, and you can ask any one I've boxed with if I'm an easy guy to man around at close quarters; also you can bet your last dollar that this fight is going to be different from any other I've taken part in. "It's the God's truth that never yet since I've passed my novice days in the ring have I been fully extended. I never had to bring every pound of punching power in my muscles into play, and I've always had plenty of reserve force to fall back on if I had needed it. But it happened that I always won with something considerable to spare. Therefore I don't think it's boasting when I say that nobody has ever got a complete line on what I can do. This time I mean to let out every link in my body, and there'll be some astonished faces at the ringside when they see me going my full gait. "Then is, when I mean to do some rough manling myself. I'll set him the fastest pace he was ever up against in his life, and believe me, he won't be able to stand it." The late George W. Childs, of this city, gave utterance to at least one philosophic thought that should be cherished. He said: "I hear of men being 'overworked,' of being 'worked to death.' Don't believe it. No man was ever 'worked' to his grave, but many thousands are driven there by 'worry.'" That is the thing to avoid. It is the very important thing that parents of children, inheriting a neurasthenic tendency, should keep in mind. We can't, all of us, put aside by sheer effort of will the anxious or distressing thoughts which follow upon the rising to the setting of the sun, but we can cultivate or be taught the habit. And to learn not to worry is well worth while. A good way, just now, for the man of frowning brow and darksome mind, is to take himself and his suitcase in hand and go back to the scenes of his earlier and unsophisticated life. We advise him to go penitentially and in modest, sober mood, to take his way alone through the woods to the meadow where the cowpath winds—the route that has mint and pennyroyal all along it, and the ineffable and indescribable aroma of the sweet, clean animal life that has traversed and made it. He may suddenly come to a stream that widens into a swimming "hole." If that should be, let him, by all means, do his worry—with his clothes—and renew his youth.—Philadelphia Press. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the government food expert, was talking of a "new" sort of food preservative. "They are all the same thing under different names," he said. It reminded him of the old caretaker of an Episcopal church, of whom he once heard. This old fellow, as he sat on a tomb in the churchyard, dismissed as trivial the question of his proper title. "The good old creed keeps the same for all," he said, "though they may change the words they use. Look at me, here. I used to be the janitor. Then we had a parson who called me the sexton.
