THE BROAD AX THE LITERARY DIGEST Comments On The Thrust At The Negro By The Republican Party of Maryland THE LITERA Comments On The N By The Repub Mary The following article, "A Republican Thrust at the Negro," is from The Literary Digest of Saturday, September 23, and it shows that the attitude of the Republican Party of the state of Maryland in reference to the civil and political status of the Negro, has brought forth many comments from the leading newspapers throughout the country: "The course of the Maryland Republicans in following the lead of the Democrats of the State in decrying Negro domination and social equality of the races is of "wide significance to the Republican party, not only in the South, but in the North likewise," in the opinion of the Brooklyn Citizen (Dem.) thinks it will prove "embarrassing to the national organization." The Republicans met in State convention two weeks ago, and Mr. Bonaparte, a member of President Roosevelt's Cabinet, was the presiding officer. The platform adopted was wholly taken up with the denunciation of the Democratic Poe Amendment to the Constitution. This amendment (considered in these columns August 19) would disfranchise the Negroes, and probably many whites, and leave the qualification of voters to be determined by the election boards. The sentiment in Maryland is largely on the side of disfranchisement of the Negro, but this particular amendment is criticized by the Republicans and even by many independent Democrats as one of Senator Gorman's tricks to keep his organization in power in Maryland. On the Negro question the Republican platform says: "The Republicans of Maryland do not feel it incumbent upon them to make any reply to the partizan warry and senseless sham and shibbole of 'Negro domination.' The Republican party of the State of Maryland favors no social equality among the races; favors no Negro domination over the white people here or elsewhere, and can be depended upon to guard against the establishment of either of these conditions here in Maryland with equal safety and with greater sincerity than a partizan organization that wears the mantle and usurps the name of Democracy." This departure from the traditional policy of the Republican party toward the Negro is treated in many news papers, both North and South, as though the whole organization had thrown over the Negro. "After forty years of combat for political and social equality," says the Brooklyn Citizen (Dem.), "the Republicans have concluded to stand with the white Democrats for the preservation of Caucasian supremacy in the South." As the Washington Post (Ind.) remarks, "the thing will go from bad to worse until the Republican party has a lucid interval as to this phase of our political and social problems, and so about the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment." "The Republicans have found Negro suffrage to be an intolerable incubus, on their party rather than a help to it, at least in the Southern Statee," is the opinion of the New York Sun (Ind.), which goes on to say: If, then, the Republican party abandons the Negroes of the South and connives at their practical disfranchisement on the ground of their inherent unfitness for the franchise, what reason is there for the Northern Negroes remaining in allegiance to it. It accepts the principle urged by the whole white South, that the Negro is intrinsically disqualified for the responsibility of voting, whatever the Constitution may enjoin. It discards Negro suffrage as an experiment which has failed. "The Negro question, therefore, is now settled by the substantial agreement of both parties as to it. At the South and at the North the Negro accordingly no longer has any reason for looking on the Republican party as his champion." The Charlotte (N. C.) Observer (Dem.) presumes that the President approves the utterance of his party in Maryland, and the Columbia (S. C.) State (Dem.) thinks that the secret of the action of the Republicans is "that the Republicans have ceased to find the Negro vote worth while. It costs them more in the loss of white support than they receive in return." The Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier (Dem.) believes that "President Roosevelt, Secretary Bonaparte, and the rank and file of the Republican party throughout the country, could be depended on in final emergency to fight Negro domination and social equality to the last ditch; but they have carefully refrained from saying so for political reasons, and for political reasons only," and it remarks that "the silence of the Republican party on this question has been dictated by its interests, not by its convictions." However, some papers hold that the convention merely bowed to local popular prejudices. "It must be as sumed," says the Springfield Republican (Ind.), "that Mr. Bonaparte felt compelled to accept that declaration by the exigencies of the State situation, which is undoubtedly 'touchy' concerning social equality." So, too, thinks the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle (Rep.), which adds: "The Republican party of the country can have no fellowship with the pseudo Republicanism which so cravenly and offensively goes back on all the splendid record of that party I favor of fair play and the civil and political rights of all citizens, regard'ess of 'race, color, or previous condition of servitude.'" The thrust at the citizenship rights of the Negro by the leaders of the Republican party of Maryland is nothing more than could be expected and their conduct in this respect should not and in fact it does not surprise those who are familiar with the history of the G. O. Party in every Southern state, and nation at large since 1876 for at the close of the Presidential election in that year the party of Abraham Lincoln and Charles Sumner deserted the Negro in the South, and turned him over body and soul to those whom they had taught him to antagonize in every way. Even prior to that time the leaders of the Republican party in every section of the country began using or regarding the Negro as its abject political slave, for without cracking a smile its leaders through the failure of the Freedman's Saving Bank, robbed the Negro out of more than fifty-seven million dollars, then to add insult to injury the U. S. Supreme Court composed of lily white Republicans pronounced the "Civil Rights Bill" unconstitutional, thereby paving the way for "Jim Crow" cars, disfursement and all the other discriminations which the Negro is subjected to. In order to further display their contempt for the Negro, while at the same time branding every Negro, as an enemy and a traitor to his race HEW TO THE LINE. ```markdown ``` HON. FRANK WENTER. There is no better nor more honorable business man in Chicago than Frank Wenter. Since the creation of the Drainage Canal Board, he has been one of its clean cut and straightforward members and as he has never mixed up in any scheme to rob and plunder the taxpayers out of their money, the people will reward him for his faithful service in the past in their behalf, by electing him President of the Drainage Canal Board on the 7th of November, who oared to assert his political independence, the leaders of the Republican party in an overwhelmingly Republican Congress, defeated the "Force bill," and the "Blair Educational bill," which was intended to improve the moral and the industrial condition of the Negro, and from that time to the present, the leaders of the Republican party have not proposed one piece of legislation in either branch of Congress, which would be of any practical benefit to the Afro-American. The Chicago Broad-Ax and Its Allies We think its time The Broad-Ax and its allies were coming to a quietus on this condemnation business of Booker T. Washington. We believe in according every man a right to his opinion but it does seem that this paper and the Boston Guardian are making apes of themselves—these editors should see themselves as they are seen—they look like bull-frogs sitting on the banks croaking, and then jumping off into the deep.—The Forum Springfield, Ill. It is true that many small fry Republicans contend that President Roosevelt and the other G. O. P. party chiefs would treat the Negro better if it was not for the hateful Democrats, which is all rot, for the city of Washington is absolutely controlled by the President and his high priest, nevertheless "Jim Crow" cars roll in to the capital of the nation, and the Negro is "Jim Crowed" in the public schools, in the theaters, in hotels and in every other way in that city, and President Roosevelt, so far has utterly failed to raise his little finger to abolish those discriminations, although he has spent much of his time in endeavoring to settle the rumpus between Russia and Japan. Once more within the past year the Republican legislature of Kansas, has enacted a separate or "Jim Crow" school law. Therefore, in the light of the forgoing events and many others of vaster importance and in view of the fact that the Republicans have assisted to disfranchise and strip the Negro of his citizenship rights it must be perfectly apparent to all, who are capable of reasoning from cause to effect, that the sins of omission on the part of the Republican party against the Negro, considering the unswerving support which he has rendered it for the past 35 years, by enabling it to successfully rise into power on his lacerated and bleeding back, are far greater than the sins of commission against him by the Democratis party.

COLLINS OF CHICAGO POLICE Issued No Order To Restrain White and Colored Men From Entering Decent Saloons Or Patronizing Each Other In Other Lines of Business. Colonel Poney Moore and His Palace of Sin Are Under The Ban of The Police Authorities In an honest effort to stamp out vice, crime, and all forms of gambling, and make it possible for decent women to walk up and down the streets, without being insulted or assaulted by the more than tough element, which has in the past gathered or congregated in front of the low dives or ratty saloons, John M. Collins, Chief of Police, who should be highly commended for endeavoring to do his duty without fear or favor, has incurred the deadly enmity of that class of saloon keepers who desire to continue to run low dives, and have a lot of lewd brazen-faced women setting around as chair warmers. To come right to the point, according to the police officials, Poney Moore, 173 East 21st street, is the head and the front of that class of saloon keepers in the "Red Light District" who has made up his mind that he is greater than the laws of this city, and that he will run his disreputable joint at the present time and in the future as he has in the past, and as he would persist in his course in this respect; and in order to make him obey the law against gambling in his establishment, several weeks ago his palace of sin and iniquity was raided by the police, and immediately a report was sent down the line to the effect that Chief Collins "was drawing the color line, and colored saloonkeepers must keep white men out of their saloons, and that white saloonkeepers are to prevent colored men from entering their places of business." No such order was ever issued to anyone connected with the Police department by Chief Collins, and The Chicago Tribune purposely misquoted him in order to make political capital out of it and two or three obscure Afro-American newspapers who so-called editors are as dumb as so lobbsters, in reference to the lily white leaders of the Rpublican party of Maryland "Jim Crowning" the Negro. endeavored in the last issues of their unreadable papers, to inflame the minds of the Colored people of this city, by making them believe that Chief Collins is so full of hostility and race prejudice against the Negro "that he had issued an order to arrest all Colored men entering white saloons and other places of business conducted by the whites, and that hereafter there must be white saloons for white men and colored saloons for colored men." This is as far from the truth as the sun is from the earth for no such order has been promulgated by Chief Collins, and it is entirely foreign to the Policy he will pursue as long as he is at the head of the Police department of Chicago. In order to arrive at a clear understanding respecting Chief Collins and his order as it applies to some of the saloons in the "Red Light District." It appears that several week-before Col. Poney Moore's place was "nulled," a highly respectable and re- No.49 M. COLLINS GO POLICE Under To Restrain Colored Men From Recent Saloons Or Each Other In of Business. Moore and His Are Under The police Authorities fined colored lady with three little children called on Chief Collins and informed him "that her husband was in the service of the Pullman Palace Car Company, that he had a splendid run, and earned good wages, but in spite of this fact, he failed or refused to provide for his family, that lately he had not given her enough money to pay the rent, without saying anything about buying something to eat for the children." With tears in her eyes she declared "that every time her husband came in from his run, that he would make a bee line for Poney Moore's place and spend all his money before coming home. She also further stated "that her husband frequently met a low white female strum-pet in Moore's resort, and that her husband gave his money to her, made love to her, and she in return for his money and his love imparted to him a nameless disease, and he beast or brute life, conveyed the same disease to her." Chief Collins caused an investigation to be made as to the truthfulness of her statements. He learned that she was an honest Christian lady, and that she had told him the truth and nothing but the truth, and upon further investigation he also learned that white men for no good purpose were introduced to colored women, in Col. Poney Moore's place, and that Colored men were knocked down to white female chair warmers, and that some married colored ladies were caught hanging around there, while their husbands were out on the road or hustling around town trying to earn sufficient money to maintain them in grand style. Under these circumstances, Chief Collins was justified in instructing his "flying squadron" to run in all white men hanging around the Hotel De Moore dive, for the class of white men who slip in and out it in the dark hours of the night look upon all colored women as wenches, created for no other purpose but to administer to their low passions, and the colored men who hang around it and spend their money there, which they need to support their families, on cheap or common white women that no decent man would wipe his feet on, entertain the same ideas about all women. It might not be out of place to state right here that whenever white men really feel that they cannot live without associating with Colored women, let them become lawfully married to them, and let the Colored men do the same thing with their white female lovers, stop their whoredom, lay away from Col. Poney Moore's place of sin, support their families, observe the city ordinaces, then they can rest assured that Chief Collins, or no one else connected with the police department, will attempt to circumscribe their rights and their liberties.

The buffalo ranch has been @ success, as there is now a large bunch of as fine young buffalo as ever was seen being cornfed, and they will be slaughtered and shipped east for the holiday trade, reports the Pawnee Courier-Dispatch. ‘An experiment of crossing the buffa- Se ee ny coun Cone Seen which should bring an animal far sur- passing the genuine buffalo, as the Galloway animal is of itself very hand- some, with a long silky coat and a Kindly disposition. which should tem- per the flery disposition of the genuine buffalo, as well as improve the color of the robe. The average price per Pound of buffalo meat is about $1.25— the loin and short ribs bringing $1.50 per pound—while the plate and stew bring one dollar. The robe brings $75; the head, when mounted, readily bring $75 to $150 each, according to size and quality. Both the heads and robes are very handsome when taken at this sea son of the year, as they then have their heavy winter coat. Oklahoma in years past was the par- Adise of the buffalo. Here is where the heaviest growths of buffalo grass are found. which to the buffalo is equal to the richest timothy to our domestic animals. Pawnee Bill's ranch lies in the heart of this excellent range, and he has proved beyond a doubt that the buffalo can be raised for slaughter at WORST OF THE BURDEN. This Tired Woman Was Obliged to ‘Bun Her Husband as Well as the Farm. “I was recently riding along a hot, dusty road,” said a cyclist, according to the New York Press, “and becoming tired and thirsty stopped at a farm- house for a rest and a drink of water. As I sipped the cold, refreshing liquid the woman of the house, who had five children playing about her, was com- plaining of being overworked. “‘T run this here whole farm,’ she said, in a tone which indicated that she was ready to resign. “‘How many acres have you?’ I in- quired. “*A hundred and forty—20 in wheat, 60 in corn, 10 in medder and paster an’ the balance in woods.’ “Got any stock?” “‘Ten bead of cattle, six hogs and ‘work critters for the place.” “‘And you run the whole business?’ “ ‘Indeed I do; every hide and hair of it,” she sighed. “ “Don’t you hire some help? “‘Of course; but ‘tain’t hired help that takes the load offen one's body.” “ “Haven't you got a husband?’ I asked, sympathetically. “*¥es,” she responded, very slowly; ‘but I have to run him, too.’” American Archery. The practice of archery as a pastime has been popular in England ever since the days of its greatest glory, when Robin Hood, the bold outlaw and mas- ter bowman, and his merry clan roam. ed through the glades and glens of the king's woods “where the game did most abound,” as freebooters and troublers of the realm. Of course, says Albert Rankin Clark, in Recreation, archery has never flourished in mod. ern times with that vigor which is dis played when the bow held the su- Premacy among weapons of warfare, but it has yet, and always will have, many ardent promoters, and when the Present popular instruments of recre ation are but museum relics, the twang of the bowstring and the swift. flight of the feathered shaft will still possess their fascination for the human race. UNDESERVED REPUTATION. What Is Considered Zeonomy of Time im This Country Is Regarded ‘as Haste Abroad. Americans have the reputation of al: ways being in a hurry. Prof. Munster berg believes this is undeserved. Ip his book, “The American,” he says: “guperficiat observers have often sup- posed the American to be always in 2 hurry, whereas the opposite is the case ‘The man who has to hurry has vadly disposed of his time, and therefore has not the necessary amount to finish any one piece of work. “The American is never in a harry. but he so disposes of his precious time that nothing shall be lost. He wil not wait, nor be a moment idle. One thing follows closely after another wieh admirable precision. Each ‘ask is finished in its turn. Appointments are made and kept om the minute; and the result is that not only no unseem. ly haste is necessary, but also there is time for everything. “It is astonishing how well-knowr ‘men in political, economic or intellect ual life, who are loaded with a thou- sand responsibinties and an apparent ly unreasonable amount of work, have by dint of the wonderful dispositior of their own time and that of their assistants, really enough for every thing and even to spare. “among the many things for which the American has time by reason of his economical management of it are even some which seem unnecessary for the busy man. He expends, for exam- ple, an extraordinarily large fractior of his time in attending to his cos tume and person, fn sport and im read. ing newspapers, so that the notior which is current im Europe that the American is not only always in # hurry, but has time for nothing outside of his work, is entirely wrong.” ONE VOTE THAT GOT AWAY It Happened Because the Bass-Drum- mer Didn’t Get In Licks Enough to Suit. ‘When the late Melbourne H. Fore made his run for congress he over jooked nothing that he thought woulc improve his chances of election. Ont of his moves was the taking of an or- chestra to a meeting held in one ot the small towns near Grand Rapids, re lates the Detroit Free Press. ‘This generous departure may bave won him several votes, but it unques- tiouably lost him one. Every village has its character, and the one there was “Uncle Ike.” ‘Whenever that orchestra broke fortk “Uncle Ike" fastened a fierce glance upon the bass drummer. During the ordeal the jaws of the village charac ter worked lie those of a buck rabbit eating cabbage. and his white beard « the spinach pattern waved furiously ir unison. Next morning one of those who had watched the actions of “Uncle Ike” drew him out on the subject keeping in mind that he played the bass drum in the local “sheepskin” bang, and that jealousy seems an in- separable part of the musical tempera- ment. “I suppose that you'll vote for Ford Uncle tke?” “Then you better hire some smarter feller to do your supposin’. No man kin have my support that wastes his own money like it was water.” “What do you mean, Uncle Ike?” “Well, you hain't no musicianer. but Td like to know what sense there wa- fn payin’ out omney fur haulin’ that bass drum and the man with it clean cut here. He didn’t hit the darned thing more'n four times. and he wa: out 0’ tune every doggone hit.” THE NEW INDIAN VICEROY. Some Particulars Relating to the Ca- reer of Lord Minto from Boyhood. Lord Minto, who becomes viceroy of India at the age of 58, has had a career full of interest. says the Westnilnster Gazette. He was fighting with the Turkish army in 1877; he was with Lord Roberts in Afghanistan in 1879; and he accompanied the latter to the cape as private secretary in 1881. A year later he was taking part in the suppression of Arabi Pasha, and though wounded recovered in time to serve as chief of staff to Gen. Middle- ton against Riel in the Canadian rebel- lion of 1885. He also had experience of the horrors of Paris during the com- mune, and at another time was impli- cated with the Carlists in Spain. In earlier days Lord Minto distin- guished himself at Cambridge in vart- ous ways. On taking his degree, for instance, he entered the senate house with his bachelor’s gown covering a highly unacademic costume which end- ed in breeches and boots. At the con- clusion of the ceremony he mounted his horse, galloped ten miles and reached his destination just in time to ‘win the University Steeplechase. Later he rode in the Grand National five times. He also won the French Grand National, being the only amateur Jockey in a field of 18.

HINTS ON GOOD BREEDING feme Excellent Advice Concerning Posture and About Manner end Manace. (Charm of manner may be an acquire- fent as well as an endowment. Man- ser is much more subtle than manners, writes Mrs. Burton Kingsland, in Suc- cess Magazine. Manners may take on a fine polish, but manner fs the uncon- sclous expression of the inner self, of the personality which, when revealing a lovely soul, is the most commanding and persuasive force that one can ex- ert. ‘A loud laugh, an over-vivacious man- ner betrays a lack of breeding. Copy the stillness of form, the quiet poise. which is the great charm of Englisn women, while a vivacity somewhat un- der restraint adds that which is win- ning and piquante in the manner of our ‘own country women. In sitting. place one foot slightly in advance of the other, as a Frenchwom- am always does. There will shen be no effort needed to rise properly—it is done without strain on any one’ set of muscles, and is natural, easy and grace- ful. When one Mae spent a day or more in visiting at a friend’s house, oginary ‘courtesy demands that, on one's return “home, a note shall be written promptly ‘to the hostess, thanking her for her ‘pleasant hospitality. A gentleman does not make @ girl ‘conspicuous by over-attention nor shun her when he is thrown into her society simply because she does not attract him. ‘A man, acknowledging a lady's recog- nition in a restaurant, cr hotel dining- room, should rise partly from his ehair. ‘A gentleman never leaves a lady alone during an entr’ acte at the theater. Politeness is the best defense against other people's bad manners. ‘An engaged girl should accept from her lover only such gifts as might be re- turned to him uninjured, should the en- gagement be broken. It is bad form to offer or accept wearing apparel. ‘Many persons prefer not to announce their engagement until there is a pros- pect of their marriage taking place with- im a year. ‘The form of announcement of an en- gagement, among persons who make a fashion by following it, is by note. The young woman writes to her girl friends ‘and the man to his intimates; the moth- ers of the “happy pair” also write to those whom they desire shall receive early information. The recipients of the pleasant news then pass it on. In choosing subjects of conversation, some one has aptly said that the three “d's” should be avolded—“dress, domes- ties and diseases.” It is sometiems kinder and in better taste to accept a compliment than to parry it.

THE AMERICAN PARTY WHIP A Well-Dressed Populist—Report Favoring Restoration of Army Canteen—Recreation for Employees in the Canal Zone. ASHINGTON. — It is not generally known that the man who has been acting secretary of war for the past three months is a soldier of practical experience. Robert Shaw Oliver, who wears the title of "general" on account WASHINGTON. — It is not generally known that the man who has been acting secretary of war for the past three months is a soldier of practical experience. Robert Shaw Oliver, who wears the title of "general" on account of his position in the New York militia, is a regular army officer, who gave up his career as a military man away back in 1869 because of the almost hopeless outlook for promotion. He was about to attain his captaincy, after having seen hard fighting in the civil war, but took the advice of a friend and resigned. Had he remained in the service he would undoubtedly have been a major general to-day. The argument advanced to him and which led to his resignation was put to him in this way: "There is a big hump ahead in the army. You will grow old as captain of a company of men. You may reach the rank of major, and if you stay in the army you will likely die as a major. A business career offers more attractions. Should there be hostilities you can get back in the army again with just as good a rank as though you served continuously." Sometimes Gen. Oliver regrets that he did not remain in the army, especially when he sees a brother officer, a captain in the Eighth cavalry when Oliver was a first lieutenant in the same, now on the retired list as a lieutenant general. This officer is Gen. S. B. M. Young, the predecessor of Gen. Chaffee in command of the army. But Gen. Oliver has had many consolations for the sacrifice of his military ambitions. He came of a military family, especially on his mother's side. She was a Shaw in a line that has been famous in New England for three or four generations. Gen. Oliver still shows his military training in an erect carriage, a direct, almost abrupt, manner, and is a remarkably handsome and well preserved gentleman. Mr. Tawney Wishes to Retire. E P R E S E N T A t i v e James A. Tawney, of Minnesota, who has been the republican "whip" of the house for several congresses, expresses a desire to give up that distinction and retire to the ranks. This position is REPRESENTATIVE James A. Tawney, of Minnesota, who has been the republican "whip" of the house for several congresses, expresses a desire to give up that distinction and retire to the ranks. This position is one conferred by party caucuses, and Mr. Tawney, on account of his activity, tact and loyalty to the leadership of the party, has been chosen again and again to attend to this work. The position of "party whip" has descended to the American house from the British parliament, where the "whip," who has the power of arranging pairs, is second only to the speaker of the house of commons in importance. In the American house of commons the "whip" looks after pairs, but, in addition, has important political duties to perform. When there is a measure to be voted on that is known as a party measure it is his duty to see that all the members of his party are in attendance and that none loses his vote through failure to arrange a pair with the opposition. Mr. Tawney has been very successful in his management of party matters on the floor of the house, and has frequently saved his party from defeat. Probably the best work Mr. Tawney ever did was in connection with the passage of the Porto Rican tariff bill. The republicans only had a majority of 15 in the house, and there were six of these opposed to the bill, and there were four republicans absent without pairs. By skillful work and staying up all night prior to the final vote, Mr. Tawney succeeded in pairing the absent members and securing the consent of the republicans opposed to the measure to remain unpaired, and as a result the bill passed by a majority of nine. Mr. Tawney feels that he has earned the right to retire from this trying position, and wants to abdicate in favor of some other republican in the next house. T HE other day Washington was brightened by a visit from Col. James Hamilton Lewis, now of Chicago, but at one time a member of congress from the state of Washington. The genial Lewis, whose aureole whiskers have been the theme of poets and writers since he first made his bow as a public character, has thousands of friends throughout the country, but in no city does he count more than he does in the nation's capital. He is an example of a man turning ridicule into political and professional capital, and through excessive notoriety securing opportunity to display the real talents of which he is possessed. Co. Lewis' advent in congress is still one of the cherished reminiscences of the house. He came here as a populist in the ranks with Jerry Simpson and men of that kind. He was too shrewd to appear on the opening day of congress and take the oath of office in company with 356 other members. Two days later he showed up, and when called on to subscribe to the oath he had an opportunity of attracting the attention of everyone as he walked down the center aisle, dressed in immaculate style, with his sunset whiskers brushed and flowing, trousers creased and his whole get up an impressive example of the sartorial art. The other populists in the house grinned, while the republicans and democrats sat amazed at this anomalous picture where they had been led to expect a man with hayseed in his hair and wearing a six dollar hand-medown suit of clothes. Col. Lewis counted on making a sensation, and he was not disappointed. From that day he was a marked figure in the house, and he never hesitated to inject himself into debate on subjects with which he was familiar. He was always thoroughly posted on his subject, and the late Speaker Reed on more than one occasion expressed his admiration for this aggressive sunburst from the great northwest. Col. Lewis' congressional career made him a national figure, which has been turned to good account in the pursuit of his profession of the law. He is now a corporation counsel for Chicago and is making more money than many of his old populistic colleagues ever dreamed of. Drunkenness Among Soldiers AJ. GEN. FREDERick D. Grant has raised his voice in favor of the restoration of the canteen to army posts. In his annual report just published he calls attention to the increase in drunkenness among soldiers and consequent desertions AJ. GEN. FRED- erick D. Grant has raised his voice in favor of the restoration of the canteen to army posts. In his annual report just published he calls attention to the increase in drunkenness among soldiers and consequent desertions and court-martials, which he attributes to the misguided efforts of very good people in securing the abolishment of the army canteen. The soldiers now go outside the army posts and patronize the lowest saloons and resorts, where formerly they did the little drinking they felt like indulging in at the post under proper restrictions and regulations, and were more contented and better conditioned. Maj. Harrod, of the Panama canal commission, advocates the establishment on the canal zone of the old army canteen, with its sale of beer and other light drinks. He does not advocate what might be classed as "wide open" saloons, but believes that canteens or clubs should be established, where men could go and enjoy innocent games of cards, billiards or bowling and, if so minded, could secure a limited amount of light drinks. Recreation and rational amusement for American employees, he thinks, would help solve the problem of making the canal zone habitable for Americans. in the Philippines. AJ. GEN. LEON- ord Wood seems to be on the direct road to become lieutenant general of the army within a comparatively few years. He has discredited the story that he was to remain in this country to go upon the general M staff and find his way to the top of the latter in that manner. He will go back to the Philippines within the next few weeks and continue in the line of duty there. His determination to forego a pleasant berth in Washington, which undoubtedly could have been his, is looked on as a very shrewd move on his part, as active duty in the field is more likely to reconcile some of the old men in the army to the idea of his rapid promotion than would a stay in Washington. It is generally believed that the continuation of his duties in the Philippine islands will mean that Gen. Wood will succeed Gen. Corbin as commander of the Philippine division. There is more opportunity in those far off island possessions for an officer to make a reputation than in any other department of the army. As Gen. Corbin's successor, he may have an opportunity to add to his reputation, and it is predicted that before President Roosevelt's term expires Gen. Wood will be at the head of the army as lieutenant general. Gen. Wood has made some very strong recommendations regarding the army in the Philippines, and even his worst critics must admit that he shows a comprehensive knowledge of the situation there and the reforms that are needed. He recommends an increased pay allowance for the non commissioned officers, he recommends the abandonment of the old haversack, the adoption of a shorter overcoat and the issuance of the bolo to all foot troops. He asks for an increase of pay to expert riflemen and makes other suggestions that are recognized as eminently practicable and very valuable. Among other things he suggests that efforts be made to have a number of officers acquire a knowledge of Chinese and Japanese. WARM KNICKERS FOR BABY These Are Suitable for Either Indoor or Outdoor Wear and Not at All Hard to Make. This little garment will be found very useful for either in or outdoor wear when the feet do not need to be covered too. It is very easy to make, and would require about two ounces of white Andalusian, and a suitable bone hook. Work a chain ten inches in length, turn and work a double crochet into each chainstitch,* turn with one chain, and work a double crochet in the back thread of each stitch in the previous row; repeat from * until the work is 24 inches long—more or less as may be required. Join the last row to the foundation chain with single crochet, and fasten off. Fold the work so as to bring the seam to the middle of the back. Sew OVERALL KNICKERS. the two lower edges together for about three inches in the middle, that is $1\frac{1}{2}$ inch on each side of the seam. This will leave an opening on either side the join for the legs, round each of which work as follows: First Row: A double crochet with one chain between into every other stitch (each rib) all round. 2nd Row: Work up a loop through each of the first four stitches of the previous row (5 loops on hook), wool over and draw through all the loops at once, and make a chainstitch to hold them together. * work a loop under the chainstitch just made, another through the back thread of the last loop of the previous group, and one into each of the next two stitches; draw through all five loops at once, secure with a chainstitch, and repeat from * all round. 3d and 4th Rows: Same as last but pass over the end stitch of each row so as to decrease a little. 5th Row: Two trebles with two chains between into every other stitch all round. 6th Row: Five trebles with a chain between each under the nearest chain loop,* a double crochet under the next, five trebles with a chain between each under the next, and repeat from * all round. 7th Row: Four chain under each chain between the trebles, and a double crochet on the double crochet between the groups. The fifth row to be threaded with a chain and tassels of wool, or with narrow ribbon, as preferred. Round the top work a treble with one chain between into every other stitch all round. Last Row: Four chains under each chain between the trebles. Thread the treble row with a chain and tassels made of the wool. THE APPROVED FALL HAT. Like That of the Summer It Is Perched High on the Head by a Bandeau. The poise of the hat again this season is of special importance. The newest models are so placed in the head that in many instances they seem absurd. These turn up at the back with the most exaggerated flares and tip over the nose with stingy front brims, says the Milliner. These high back effects, with the exception of the turban, is peculiar to them all. In many cases on the imported models the front brim measures two or two and a half inches in width. The sides run about five and the back run into seven and ten inches. This effect is exaggerated by the high bandeau and the arrangement of feathers, ribbons and flowers. The equilibrium of the new hats is given by the bandeau, and in the majority of these bandeau extends all the way round the head size. The bandeau has become so necessary a part of the new frames that these are manufactured in all shapes, and may be had from any dealer. This is a great labor saving to the milliner. Some of the Paris patterns are set on such high bandeaus that they are perched on the head at fairly dizzy angles. Full of color and of such saucy make-up, it is not likely that they will be taken so seriously this side of the water. water. Other bandeaux lift the hat at the left, while many of the newer models show the right side with upward curve. The bandeau is used in all cases where the forward tilt is desired, and almost every model has it. Yawns for Health Yawning for health is advocated by a German professor of gymnastics. He maintains that deep yawning, practised as a regular exercise, is the cheapest and surest road to perfect health. The expansion of the breast bones and the stretching of the arms which accompany a whole-hearted yawn, together with the filling of the lungs, form a splendid daily exercise. To Clean Velvet.

Mariss Ruben (Inc.), 390 Stats St., Chicago Crook Meets Crook. A crook who had married and tried to settle down and lead an honest life, was riding in a street car the other day when he felt a slight tug at his stud. Without turning his head he looked down and saw a busy hand trying to work it out of his shirt front. He at once worked his right hand behind his back and took the other fellow's watch.
