Vol. XV The Negro and His Em He Will Attend C Sing and Shout after Part He Will Frequent the Five Sandwiches Fried in Cott And Loudly Applaud the F Kick Up Their Heels the Vulgarity. The Negro spends more time in getting or catching onto his so-called religion than any other single individual in the civilized world. With the Negro religion means nothing to him. It sets lightly on his mind, in fact it is all emotional and not real. For he will cuss and damn anyon who provokes him or who may happen to cross him while he is on his way to church and he thinks nothing of getting on the outside of one or two big drinks of whisky, with a little gin on the side or several glasses of beer, before the services begin and the whisky, gin and the beer warms him up as the preacher with the big gun in his hip pocket heats up to his sermon. To show that the Negro cares no more for his crude or childish emotional religion than he does for a football, he will sing and shout very loud and exclaim Amen! Amen! while the preacher is engaged in pounding away on the bible and jumping up and down in his pulpit, while pretending to be preaching the word of his God, and after the Negro has partaken of the holy communion he appears to be so happy and to look at him one would naturally think that he was ready to be transformed into a bright shining angel and that he was willing right there and then to be transported on to his imaginary heaven. On leaving his church he starts for his home, while he is in this frame of mind, but on his way thereto he happens to pass some of the many MICHAEL J. DOHERTY, SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS, HAS PASSED ON INTO ETERNITY. Michael J. Doherty, who had for many years honorably and faithfully served as superintendent of streets, on last Friday evening while enjoying the comforts of his beautiful home, 846 West Garfield boulevard, and while conversing with his wife, without the slightest warning as to his impending fate, was snatched out of this world into eternity. Apoplexy was the immediate cause of his death. At the time of his sudden and unexpected death he was in the act of accompanying his old bosom friend, John E. Traeger, to witness a wrestling match at the Coliseum. Funeral services were held over his remains on Monday morning from the Church of the Visitation, Garfield boulevard and Peoria street. Revs. Fathers McGuire, Tarsky and Cahill officiating. John E. Traeger, Patrick McCarty, M. P. Byrne, M. J. Bohan, P. J. Harmon, Joseph A. Swift, Thomas Carey and James McManaman, who were all numbered among his warmest friends during the many years he spent in this city were the pallbearers five cent theaters which line the west side of State street. He listens to the rag time music, he hears the female volces within singing loud and sweetly, he stops and before you have time to count one, two, three, he throws his so-called religion aside and he reasons to himself thusly: "I wonder what the devil is doing in there and as a good Christian it is my duty to butt in and run him out for my Lord has let it be known that one saint can put ten thousand devils and their followers to flight." So he darts into the five cent theatre, experiencing not the slightest compunction as to his un-Chrtsian conduct at the time. He is not content to visit one five cent theatre after taking communion and emerging from his church on Sunday evenings, but he will on the same Sunday evening frequent as many of them as he has nickels to spare. He will eat liver sandwiches, fried in cotton seed oil. Being low and depraved in his general make up he takes no stock in the female performers who conduct themselves modestly on the stage and he will shout, 'Take her away. She is no good. She is a dead one for she is too proud to show her legs and her legs are slim and there is nothing to them any way and she don't look fast enough for me no how.' But on the other hand he will loudly applaud the female performers who can kick up their legs or heels the highest and use the most vulgarity. Mayor Fred A. Busse, the great majority of the members of the city council, other city officials and prominent politicians, both Democrats and Republicans, in company with hosts of other citizens who knew him well, and who esteemed him most highly for his many manly qualities, followed his remains to their last resting place, Mount Olivet. Mr. Doherty is survived by his aged father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Doherty, his brother Roger Doherty, two sisters, the Misses Mary and Rose Doherty, and by his constant and devoted wife, and his daughter, Miss Catherine Doherty, and the people in all walks of life in the Town of Lake, where for many years Mr. Doherty was a prominent figure in its political, social and business affairs, and those who knew him well residing in the other sections of this city and throughout the country, greatly sympize with the members of his family over the great loss they have sustained. The officers and members of the United Brothers of Friendship, residing in Chicago, will on Wednesday evening. November 10, give a grand banquet to their National Grand Master, Walter M. Farmer.

The bride wore a very rich and expensive white silk mull gown; a brilliant diamond pin held the bridal veil in its proper position and she carried a large bouquet of American beauties The maid of honor and the brides maids were also costumed in rich white silk dresses and they carried large bouquets of beautiful flowers.

ALD. SNOW SHOWS CHICAGO'S NEEDS. In Address to Avertising Men He Resents Criticism of the People. Presents Amounts Necessary to Run City Departments for the Next Ten Years. In a plea for less public suspicion of squandered taxes and a more thorough understanding of Chicago's needs and resources, Ald. Bernard W. Snow of the Seventh ward yesterday told the members of the Chicago advertising association that the city would require a $38,000,000 expenditure within the next ten years to meet the requirements of an estimated 4,000,000 population. The chairman of the council finance committee, who was the guest at the association luncheon divided the city's needs as follows: Public works ..... $18,000,000 Light and power ..... 7,000,000 Bridges ..... 6,000,000 Fire department ..... 2,500,000 Police department ..... 1,000,000 City hall ..... 3,500,000 To make the public appreciate the need of this sum it was necessary for a better understanding of conditions than existed at present, Mr. Snow said. The city's additional borrowing power under the new law was limited to $16,000,000, and this would be asked at the spring election next year. Civic pride would follow a statement of Chicago's difficulties, he thought, and make possible even a larger rate of taxation. $18,000,000 for Public Works. "In addition to the $5,000,00 already being expended on public works, we need $13,000,000 within the next ten years," declared the speaker in open- $38,000,000 IS REQUIRED. Open Air Schools Needed Only Eleven Schools Provided for 273,000 Children. Interesting Report of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. If the percentage of tuberculosis children recently ascertained by an investigation in Stockholm, Sweden (1.61 per cent), were applied to the schools of the United States, there would be 273,700 children between the ages of 8 and 15 who are positively affected with tuberculosis, according to a statement issued today by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. As contrasted with this figure, there are only eleven open air tuberculosis schools in the entire country. Special schools for tuberculosis children have now been established in Providence, Boston, New York, Rochester, Washington, Hartford, Conn, Chicago and Pittsburg. New York has three schools and Washington, D. C., two. The Board of Education of New York City is proposing to establish three more, and similar institutions are being planned in Detroit, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and Newark, N. J. At the lowest estimate, however, even with all the schools now in operation and those proposed accommodations will not be provided for 4.4 ing. 'Then comes the restoration of Chicago's domination of the commerce of the great lakes, which can be obtained largely by the removal of the antiquated center pier bridges. The estimate for the rebuilding of all the bridges is $6,000,000. "The fire department, once Chicago's pride, now is sadly deficient, and unless it is thoroughly re-equipped property will be seriously menaced. This would mean an expenditure of $2,500,000. We need a new central police station. This could be built and equipped for $750,000, and rebuilding of various precinct stations would take $250,000 more. "The city hall will cost $3,500,000 according to estimates to date, but a most important feature would be a city electric plant. The cost of this plant would be from $6,000,000 to $7,000,000, but the service would cost less than what is spent today for the poor results we obtain. In all, about $38,000,000 will be needed to place Chicago on a level with New York or any other first class city. Tax Per Capita is Less. "As to the resources," continued Ald. Snow, "we hear much complain about the wasting of the people's money. Yet in the last thirteen years the city's population has increased 58 per cent and the taxation is less per capita. And remember, the city does not expend the tax total; getting only 28 per cent on which to run the municipality, and the board of education 34 per cent. The parks get more than one-half the city's total, and show constant increases of allowances. The south park board has increased 344 per cent since its inception, the Lincoln park board 132 per cent, and the west park board 147 per cent. I am not finding fault with our splendid park system, but merely citing figures. "In 1908 the city's share of the tax collections was $8,412 and the total from all sources, including licenses for saloons and other business was about $19,000. So less than one-half Chicago's revenue was derived from the direct tax. Maintenance of the police department took $6,000,000, and for the fire service $3,500,000, together more than given the No.4 one per cent of the children who need this special treatment. In a large number of cities, children with tuberculosis are excluded from the public schools, but in most instances, no special provision is made for them. The National Association declares that children who are afflicted with tuberculosis are a menace to the health of their schoolmates. Both on this account and because they are physically unable to keep up in their work, special schools are needed for this class of children. Every city should provide at least one well-equipped school or special class room of this sort for each 25,000 population. In cities like Providence, Boston and New York, where outdoor schools have been conducted for two years, the results obtained from the treatment of children in special tuberculosis open air schools seem to show the great advantage of this class of institutions. This, coupled with the experience of open air schools in Germany and England, proves that children can be cured of tuberculosis and keep up with their school work, without any danger to fellow pupils. city for its corporate needs. Yet the average policeman receives $12000 a year and the firemen $1,400. Pay Rolls More than Revenue "Nearly all criticism of huge salaries paid city officials is irresponsible. The 1908 salaries for day labor totaled $16,900,000 out of a revenue of say $22,000,000. This included $9,000,000 for police and fire, or more than half; $5,000,000 for street work and $2,000,000 for the water department. Thus, eliminating $1,200,000 for general services, Chicago's regular revenue does not meet its payrolls. In order for Chicago to achieve its destiny as one of the world's greatest cities it is necessary for its citizens to study and aid conditions." THE NEW KENTUCKY CLUB There is not one cafe conducted by Afro-Americans in the city of Chicago that can be compared in any way whatever with the new Kentucky Club and Cafe, located at 2260 State street, second floor, Phone Calumet 3527. Its president and treasurer John B. Rogers, has spared no pains nor money in fitting up the new Kentucky Club and Cafe, which is incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois. Its furniture and other fittings are the very finest and the most expensive that money can buy. The furniture throughout the cafe is of Mission oak and highly polished. The many free-hand, magnificent paintings on the walls are master pieces of art, and in attractiveness, they far surpass anything in this direction in any of the cafes on the South Side. Thousands of dollars are invested in these beautiful paintings, which are a dream to behold. Thomas McCain, who is well known among the members of the theatrical profession, and the high class sports, throughout the United States, is the secretary and manager of the new Kentucky Club, and he is always on hand to extend the glad hand to its many patrons.

To kiss one's sister is proper. To kiss one's wife is an obligation. To kiss an ugly woman is gallantry. To kiss an old, faded woman is devotion. To kiss a young blushing girl is—quite a different thing. To kiss one's rich aunt is hypocrisy. Kissing three girls on the same day is extravagance. To kiss one's mother-in-law is a holy sacrifice.

HOTELS READY FOR THE RUSH All the Hostelries, Big and Little, Are Prepared for the Coming of the Land and Exposition Guests. "Chicago is not going to be caught unprepared for the big crowds that will attend the Land and Irrigation Exposition," is the report given by a leading hotel manager. "We have been keeping our ear to the ground, and we hear reports from every direction that we are going to be surprised by the number of guests on account of the 'novel show' at the Coliseum, Nov 20 to Dec. 4. Of course, we always expect a big attendance at the Live Stock Show, which occurs on the same dates, but we shall have a crowd that will surpass anything seen in many years when the doors of the Land and Irrigation Exposition are thrown open on Nov. 20. Every hotel in Chicago is looking forward to this event and is prepared to see its capacity packed to the full by a class visitors who do not often get in Chicago. "This Land Exposition has a different sort of pull from the other big affairs that are held at the Coliseum from time to time. We appreciate the fact that we are going to have a very substantial class of visitors on this occasion and that they will come from many states. "According to the plans of the exposition it will be a great educational event and enable the land seeker to save money by having concentrated under one roof all the leading regions of the country where life is made attractive by irrigation and an agreeable climate and productive soil. You may tell all prospective visitors that we are ready for them and for them to come and enjoy this feast which Chicago has spread." The theater managers are also making preparations for special attractions during the exposition period. They will also take steps to be rid of the ticket scalpers and speculators who often interfere with patrons of the theater and prevent them from getting seats at the regular prices. "We shall do our part to entertain the exposition visitors in a fitting manner," said one of the prominent theater managers, speaking for all of the prominent theaters. Concord to Hear Dr. Walker Again. The members of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, Brooklyn, were so highly pleased and encouraged by the recent visit of the Rev. Dr. Charles T. Walker of Augusta, Ga., that he has been invited by the officers of the church to fill the pulpit again for two or more Sundays in the near future. Dr. Walker and the late Dr. W. T. Dixon, who was the pastor of the church for forty-six years, were close friends in the ministry. A Famous All Potato Banquet. A Famous All Potato Banquet. One of the most remarkable menus ever drawn up must have been that of the feast in Paris to which Benjamin Franklin. Lavoisier, the founder of modern chemistry, and other distinguished men sat down as guests of Parmentier. Every dish at this banquet was made of potatoes, and even the brandy and liqueurs were the product of the same vegetable. This was Parmentier's final proof to his skeptical fellow countrymen that potatoes were not poison, as they persisted in believing. Louis XVI. himself was one of Parmentier's earliest converts, granted him land on which to grow his plants and did not disdain to wear the potato flower as a buttonhole. Then Parmentier cleverly posted guards round his potato fields by day and withdrew them by night, so that people were tempted to come then, steal, eat and be convinced. The all potato banquet was the climax of the great campaign.-Chicago News. From the Farm jobbers and retailers profits. Why volumes from us and save it?

THEHUNGER FOR LAND seston teh Giardino to Appease the Appe- tites for Farms. A Wondertul Exhibit by the Depart- ments of the Interior and Agricul ture at the United States Land and Irrigation Exposition at Chicago from Nov. 20th to Dec. 4th. A debt of gratitude and a vote of ‘thanks will be due the Chicago Trib ‘ane from the American people when ‘the United States Land and Irrigation Exposition is over. The inception of ‘this great undertaking was entirely @ue to the Tribune. The idea orig imated with the Tribune, and the en. tire responsibility, financial and gther wise, was assumed by the Tribune. So timely did this enterprise seem to be that all the great irrigation and other land interests were quickly won ‘and promised their participation and support. The United States govern. ment has thought so well of the Trib une’s idea that it will be the largest ‘exhibitor All the exhibits of the exposition will deal with the idea of establish ing American homes upon small farms. All the features of this unique and wonderful show will be pivoted around the idea that the best place for an American family is in a home of its own, and that home a tract of land large enough to maintain the family in any emergency. With our better knowledge of plants and soils and cul- tural practices a few acres have an as. tenishing capacity for productica. ‘Valuable instruction along these lines will be four by the visitor at the coming exposition, Nov. 20 to Dec. 4, at Chicago's great Coliseum. Besides the features specially pre- pared and brought from Washing: ton, the best features of the goverm- ment's exhibit at Seattle will be in. stalled at Chicago. The reclamation service, the geological survey, the land office. the forestry service, the patent office. the bureau of animal in- dustry, the bureau of plant industry. the weather bureau, the office of ex. periment stations and the bureau of eatomology will all participate in a manner worthy of the govenment of eighty million people. The value of the government ex- hibits to the visitor will lie in the fact that they are new and represent the latest thought and development in the various lines which they represent. All will relate to irrigation, drainage, @ry farming and to the industries of the farm, especially of the new farms which are being reclaimed trom what has long been regarded as waste land. THE BIG LAND SHOW Chicago's Chief of Police Assures Vis Wtors That Everything Will Be Ready for Their Comfort. Chief of Police Steward of Chicago 4s mindful of the comfort of visitors @uring the coming Land Exposition, which will be held during the same time as the International Live Sto&k Show, Nov. 20 to Dec. 4. “We shall not only police the expo- sition but also all those parts of the city which the visitors will frequent. If there are any suspicious characters im sight, we shall speedily warn them to leave the city. We are determined that our guests during the exposition season shall be as free from annoy- ance as a thoroughtly organized police and detective force can make them. Or- Ginarily the stranger in Chicago is as safe here as in any city—we purpose to make him doubly so during the two weeks of the exposition and Live Stock Show. “We have on the force many men ‘who are experienced in looking after crowds and they will all be on duty at the right points during the Land and Irrigation festivities “I am taking a special interest in this coming land show for I realize its great importance to the country and to the city of Chicago, and I appreciate the earnestness of the people who are going to be Chicago's visitors Many people who are seeking new locations for their homes will come to Chicago and many of them will not be om the alert for suspicious characters. To such People we shall give special care and 4o all in the power of our strong or- ganization to see that no one falls into the hands of the confidence men or oth- er swindlers during bis presence with- tm our gates “I appreciate the enterprise of the (Chicago Tribune in promoting and f- ‘Bancing this great exposition and it is ‘my wish to have our police organiza- {tion assume a large measure cf the re- for the comfort of our on this spiendid occasion.” ‘Still in the Majority.

READY FOR CROWDS All Chicago Prepared to En- tertain the Visitors to Land Exposition. (Never Such an Interest in Land and Irrigation Before—Ali Parts of the Country Responding to the Call to ‘the Great Land Rally. | ‘When the Chicago Tribune first pro- | Posed the Land and Irrigation Expo sttion the public little realized the furor it would create throughout the country. The emissaries of the expo sition management have gone !nto ‘every western state and aroused an in. terest that will have its climax on the opening day of the coming show. ‘Other representatives were sent throughout the east and south. calling to this great convocation everyone ‘who is interested in 1and development. ‘The work has gone on and on witn such energy and united effort that the coming event will be one of the great- est in Chicago since the Columbian ex- Position in 1893. Approximately half 2 million dollars will be expended on this magnificent display of western and southern prod- ‘ucts and the marvelous possibilities in the states of the west and south. Never has an exposition been under- taken in Chicago where the entire scheme of installation has been planned on such a harmonious scale. ‘The great Coliseum will be a thing of beauty throughout its vast interior. ‘The decorations will be true to the spirit of the whole enterprise.

Nov. 20 to Dec. 4, Chicago will offer, as theatrical people express it, a “double bill” to the people of the coun- It is the greatest “combined ‘show” of the period. All the railroads centering in Chica- g0, and all of their connections at dis- tant points have prepared for a large traffic in view of the widespread inter- est which this exposition has created. Chicago is unquestionably the great- est land center in America. All of the large companies which are developing the country have their headquarters here, and it is entirely fitting that Chi- cago should take the lead in planning ‘and carrying out an exposition on the grand scale which is now reaching a ‘stage of completion. There will be no isappointment for the coming visitor. ‘The vastness of our land interests will amaze those who consider themselves familiar with this nation’s develop- ment.

The Yellowstone Park is the moth- er of several great rivers that are now used for irrigation and the subject ‘s a very fitting one for such an occasion. ‘This will be the largest reproduction of the famous canyon ever shown.

BENTON. The office boy heard the doctor in the annex and went out. Her face was buried in a basin of water, and the formaldehyde bottle stood open. "How's the smallpox?" he asked. "Bad," she replied, emerging rosy from the towel. "Is any one waiting? "No one now but Mr. Doane Aldrich. Been three or four, but they got tired waiting." "Very well. Tell him I will be there in a minute." As the boy closed the door she walked to the mirror and regarded herself attentively, spraying violet water over her hands and hair. "I wish I had some powder," she murmured. "I am afraid I look blow- To the tall young man in the reception room she looked discouragingly cool and unperturbed as he arose at her entrance. "It is a little matter, doctor," he explained. "I have just been transferred to the Y mine, and they have smallpox down there, so I suppose it is necessary to be vaccinated." "It certainly is if you haven't been hately. Things are in bad shape at the Y. I have put in the whole afternoon there. There's a good deal of smallpox and more dissatisfaction. I suppose the dissatisfaction is what sent you there." "I suppose so. What's at the bottom of the trouble anyway?" "Sickening hovels and the company store. If you can get the company to do anything before those people murder you as its nearest representative you will be doing good work. However, come into the office, and I will vaccinate you." He followed her in. "This is the first time I ever came here as a subject," he remarked. How could she be a doctor? Still, he had sometimes wished he could be sick a week or two. It would be such a good chance to see her every day. What was she going to do with that razor looking little knife? It had been so long since he was vaccinated he had forgotten all about it. Did she jab the stuff in at the end of that? If she was going to jab he wished she would and stop that scratching. He watched the scratching knife, fascinated. Suddenly it began to describe erratic circles in his vision. Dr. Richle felt his arm relaxing under her grasp. With a movement as quiet as it was quick she caused his stalwart body to the floor, then loosened his collar and dashed a little water in his face. He opened his eyes slowly. "Oh, I say," he gasped, "what's the matter?" The doctor stood a little way off regarding him with professional gravity. "I was vaccinating you, and you fainted," she explained. "You will be all right in a moment." He got rather uncertainly to his feet and leaned against a convenient case of drawers. "Good Lord!" he grouned. "What do you think of me? I hope you don't think it was because it hurt. I don't know what it was. I was watching that little knife; then I was here on the door. Please finish the job," he concluded irritably. "T'll try to stand up under it." As she adjusted the small bandage he thought savagely: "If I should lift you off your feet, my sweet doctor, and kiss that diabolical dimple you might at least respect my muscle. How can a fellow make love to a woman doctor anyway?" Aloud he said, "Thank you, doctor," rather abruptly, hurried into his coat, settled with the office boy and got away with all speed. The doctor strolled to the window and watched him go striding off, his big shoulders squared. "Poor old fellow!" she said softly. Then she fushed and smiled in a way that little befitted a member of the medical profession. "He is hashrful and stupid, too," she pouted. Doune Aldrich squared his shoulders against his troubles often that winter. His recognized powers as a pacificator seemed to have signally failed. One day he swung into the cart as the doctor was trotting home. "See here," he said. "I must talk with you. I don't know what to do with those people. Heaven knows they have reason enough to be sore, and I am helpless. Of course they can't realize that, but the company pays no attention to my representations. I am the nearest thing the poor brutes have to hate, and they hate me well. Tomorrow I have got to discharge McGuire and Kearney"—The doctor interrupted: "That means a strike, to begin with. Then Kate McGuire and Dilise Kearney—why, they would as soon have a riot as enough to eat." "But what can I do? The men have come on the shift twice within a week drunk and quarrelsome. Overlook it and they will all get drunk and"— "Raise hades," gently suggested the doctor. Then her face grew mischievous. "Don't you think you had better follow your predecessor's example and throw it up?" she suggested. He looked at her with decided stern- jon you entertained of me. Excuse me. There is a man I want to see." And Mr. Aldrich had checked the horse enough to depart. It was cold, with a driving mist when the doctor drove up to her gatc several evenings later. "Poor Bess!" she said to the panting horse. "Tired, aren't you?" A small, tattered boy came down the road, running wearily, as though nearly spent. "Oh, Miss Doctor," he shrilled, "walt!" His face shone pale through the dirt. As he came up she recognized the pit boss' boy. "Ma sent me to tell you to do some thin' quick. Kate an' Dilsey is out with a lot of wimin, an' they are runnin' wild. Mr. Aldrich went down with the new shift. Pa told him he better watch things on top, but he thought pa needed help. Now they are goin' to git hold of the shaft house an' when Mr. Aldrich comes up with the new men either drop the cage or rock 'em." The doctor's face had grown white as the boy talked. "The shift will come up at 6?" she asked. The boy nodded "Come into the house. You must be dried and fed. I will telephone the police, but Bess and I will get there half an hour ahead of them. Heaven knows what we will do, but we will do something or die!" she half whispered. "Now, go, Bess!" she cried as she sprang into the buggy. As she approached the little town she could hear a swelling din of discordant voices. She dashed through an alley and came out in the street in front of the shaft house. The women were sweeping around the corner just below her, fifteen or twenty of them. Their tossing arms and distorted faces held her a second fascinated. Then her brown eyes brightened mischievously, and she wheeled the horse and cart directly in front of the howling crowd. "Kate McGuire!" she called, pointing an accusing whip at her. Their momentum carried them nearly to the cart. Then, as they could not conveniently climb it and the "darlin" doctor" was a person to respect anyway, they stopped. "What do you mean," she demanded sternly, "yelling around in this cold rain? What do you think it will do for your neuralgia? You will be crazy with it. Your cheek is all swelled up now, and your eye looks as though you had broken a blood vessel. I knew a woman once"—her voice grew deeply impressive—"whose eye burst, and she didn't expose herself the way you are doing either. And you, too, Dilsey, just nicely over the smallpox—do you know what you will have? You will have a relapse." She fairly hurled the word at her, and Dilsey received it with a moan of terror. "Holy mother, doctor!" she wailed. "Do it be fatal?" Kate had shut her mouth and was whining softly, cuddling her face in her damp shawl. She turned reproachfully to the women behind her. "The doctor's right. This do be a sorry night for poor winnin cratures to be out in, an' ye ought to be ashamed, me head's crazy already wid the pain." She came close to the buggy. "Doctor, dear, do be givin' me somewhat!" she entreated. "How many of you have vaccinations that you'll be taking cold in? And you, Jerusalem—I thought you told me you couldn't speak a loud word?" "No more I can," croaked Jerusalem noisely. "Go home, every one of you!" she waved imperiously. "You ought to be ashamed, running around like a lot of lunatics. I'll come around presently and give you something for that neuralgia. Kate, and you a dose, too. Dilegy." Five minutes later there wasn't a woman in sight save the doctor. She drove the trembling horse into one of the sheds. "Poor old girl!" she said, loosening up the harness. "I nearly killed you, didn't I." There was a sound of hurrying feet, and Mr. Aldrich came in breathlessly. "Are you safe?" he cried. She gave him one quick glance, her white chin and red lips set with becoming gravity. "I think I am," she replied, with a mild note of inquiry. "Do you feel dangerous?" He strode up to her and looked down into the provoking face. "A man who faints when he is vaccinated is a fit subject to be saved from a mob of women, isn't he?" he questioned. "Don't think I don't realize how serious it was. I know you probably saved me from a very unpleasant death, but I wish you hadn't." He searched her face an instant, then suddenly drew her to him and kissed almost roughly the derisive dimple that was faunting at him. "I have been tempted a hundred times," he said defiantly. "And you were too—too stupid to—fall" Droughts as an Education. There is no game extant which so admirably combines educational and recreative features or which is in every way so well adapted for a popular and profitable amusement among refined and appreciative classes as draughts. Its influences are of an elevating character. It not only teaches, but practically enforces, the necessity of patience and perseverance, courage and courtesy, self reliance and self control. The game is also peculiarly and self evidently worthy of paternal encouragement, as a knowledge of its incomparable beauties will destroy the tastes for demoralising games of chance.

Immediately east of the broad road at the main entrance to the Illinois State Fair Grounds, during the State Fair, Oct. 1-9. State Game Warden Wheeler will display a score of varieties of pheasants, grouse, quail and other game birds -which his department is propagating on the State game farms. Waterfowl in many breeds and other "animals with wings" will form part of this matchless exhibit. The bright plumage of the birds, the distant countries from which they were imported and the certainty that they will soon be plentiful enough in Illinois to serve as delicate morsels for the palate, make this one of the prettiest sights and most interesting studies on the Illinois State Fair grounds.

Bartlett Commodore Vanderbilt discovered in James H. Rutter, then in the employ of the Erie railroad, a man he believed the freight department of the Central needed, says the Baltimore Newa. It is related that some time after he took charge of the Central's traffic office Rutter called on the commodore to submit a plan for improvement. When he had stated the case the president looked at him sharply and asked: "Rutter, what does the New York Central pay you $15,000 a year for?" The reply was, "For managing the freight traffic department." And then the commodore said, "Well, you don't expect me to earn your salary for you, do you?" Rutter went out and carried through his plan on his own judgment. The result was highly satisfactory. Rutter became president of the Central. Up to Snuff. A man in workman's garb one day called at a local dentist's, and the door was opened by a maid. "What—one dollar! Do you mean to say, miss, a fellow's got to swallow over 1,000 feet of gas to have one tooth pulled out? No fear. I reckon I knows a bit about it, for I work down at the gas works myself. I'll go to another dentist and have it pulled out without gas."-Exchange Chicago HILLMAN'S STATE & WASHINGTON STS.
