Washington's Negro National Business League, after much blowing on the part of its delegates as to how much each and every one of them was worth, wound up its sessions, in New York City last week, with the election of the following officers for the coming year: Booker T. Washington, president, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; Charles Banks, first vice-president, Mound Bayou, Miss.; S. G. Elbert, M. D., second vice-president, Wilmington, Del.; Harry T. Pratt, third vice-president, Baltimore, Md.; Scipio A. Jones, fourth vice-president, Little Rock, Ark.; W. C. Gordon, fifth vice-president, St. Louis, Mo.; Emmett J. Scott, corresponding secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; Gilbert C. Harris, treasurer, Boston, Mass.; F. H. Gilbert, registrar, Brooklyn, N. Y.; R. C. Houston, assistant registrar, Fort Worth, Tex.; William H. Davis, official stenographer, Washington, D. C.; S. Laing Williams, compiler, Chicago, III. Executive Committee.—J. C. Napier, Nashville, Tenn., Summer A. Furnill, Indianapolis, Ind.; W. L. Taylor, Richmond, Va.; F. D. Patterson, Greenfield, O.; M. M. Lewey, Pensacola, Fla.; Dr. S. E. Courtney, Boston, Mass.; W. T. Andrews, Sumter, S. C.; J. C. Thomas, New York, N. Y.; J. B. Bell, Houston, Tex.; J. C. Jackson, Lexington, Ky.; J. E. Bush, Little Rock, Ark.; Robert C. Owens, Los Angeles, Cal.; R. E. Jones, New Orleans, La. As it has been stated many times before in these columns, that "the so-called Negro National Business League has been in existence for about eleven years, and all that time, the begging wizard of Tuskegee, has been its president, in fact he seemingly labors under the impression that it is his organization and he will not permit any of its members to aspire to its presidency, for, like the big dog in the meat house, he always wants that honor for himself. Although none of his friends nor camp followers can honestly contend that he is a business man, for he and they claim that he is an industrial educator and a snatcher after money, nevertheless his thick-headed satellites and obsequious followers are unable to see the impropriety of permitting himself to be placed at the head of what they call the Negro National Business League. Little Emmett J. Scott was reelected corresponding secretary of the League, and like his lord and master, Booker T. Washington, at no time in his life has he had five hundred dollars invested in any line of business aside from his gah, and if he was restrained from tagging after Boss Washington, he could not earn as much as five hundred dollars per year. Judge S. Laing Williams, who holds down a government job in Chicago, and who does not profess to be a business man; S. G. Elbert, M.D., Wilmington, Del.; Dr. Summer T. Furnish, Indianapolis, Ind. Dr. S. E. --- HEW TO THE LINE: LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY Courtney, Boston, Mass., are not strictly speaking business men, but professional men, yet they are office holders in the league, J. E. Bush of Little Rock, Ark., who works for the Federal government at that point, is one of the big chiefs of the league, and there are several other newly elected officers of the league, who are simply wily, scheming politicians. There are many up-the-date Colored business men scattered throughout all sections of the North, the extreme west and the extreme east, who would dearly love to join a real Negro Business League, for their own mutual benefit, but at the same time they can never be gotten together under the leadership of Booker T. Washington, his retainers and shouters. It will be recalled that Booker T. Washington, delivered one of his so-called lectures, at Olivet Baptist Church, in this city on Friday evening, April 5, 1907, and at that time he brazenly stood up in its pulpit and bitterly denounced and belittled the Negro newspapers, and their editors, and admonished his hearers to refrain from supporting or reading them. He declared that "Negro newspapers are not needed; that they should not emphasize the wrongs inflicted upon the race; that they hold up our difficulties; that Negro parents should not let their children read them; that they see in them too many accounts of Negro oppression and we do not want our children soured by reading such accounts." In concluding his condemnation of Negro newspapers and advising the people not to read them and most especially that class of Negro papers whose editors will not fall down on their knees in front of him and lick the dust from his shoes, for a little money, many of his ignorant and light-headed hearers heartily applauded him for belittling the struggling newspapers of the race, but as we intimated in these columns at that time that "many of them would have done the same thing if he had advised the good looking women who sat under sound of his voice, to go and sell their virtue to white gentlemen for a few dollars." The Associated Press gladly took up Booker T. Washington's condemnation of the Negro newspapers and fashed it to all parts of the world. And one of the great daily newspapers in Chicago, editorially commended him at that time in the following manner for condemning the editors of Negro newspapers, who cannot refrain from speaking out against the unspeakable and monumental wrongs which are constantly being heaped upon the Negro. "People get tired of hearing the woes of other people continually drummed into their ears. Even the most deserving petitioner for right and justice can prejudice his case by eternally proclaiming his wrongs from the housetops. Therefore Booker Washington is exactly right when he tells the Negro newspaper editors to stop harping on the wrongs of the (Continued on page 2.) CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 3, 1910. ```markdown ``` HON SAMUEL A. ETTELSON. Republican candidate for re-nomination for State Senator, Third Senatorial District. Comprising the Third part of the Fourt and part of the Sixth Wards. Read the following letter of indo rement by Col. John R. Marshall. THE SENTIMENTS OF JOHN R. MARSHALL, COLONEL OF THE 8TH REGIMENT CONCERNING THE RENOMINATION OF SENATOR SAMUEL A. ETTELSON. Julius F. Taylor, Editor The Broad Ax I desire through the columns of your valuable paper to give expression to my views anent the candidacy of Samuel A. Ettelson for State Senator from the 3rd District. As Colonel of the Eighth Infantry Illinois National Guard, I believe that the sentiment of this organization is voiced to a man when I say that no member of either the upper or lower branch of the last General Assembly interested himself to a larger degree in an effort to procure an appropriation for the erection of an armory for the regiment than Senator Ettelson. True the efforts were in vain, but they were nevertheless made, and made with an enthusiastic vigor born only of a sincere interest in this organization and the race of people comprising it. He introduced the bill in the Senate, and caused its introduction in the House providing for the appropriation. This done he labored from day to day, not only with the Senate Committee on Appropriations, but with the same committee of the House as well to secure a favorable report. I watched carefully the progress of the matter during the entire session of the legislature, and personally know that had it not been for dissensions among some of the commanding officers of the National Guard as to priority of consideration in providing for regimental homes, the efforts of Senator Ettelson on our behalf would have crystallized into the desired result. I make no empty statement when I say, that the prospect of this regiment being given the necessary appropriation at the next General Assembly for the building of a substantial and permanent home, largely depends upon having in the State Senate a genuine and unswerving friend of the type of Senator Ettelson. My interest and hope for his success at the coming primaries, however, is not solely due to the efforts he made in the Legislature to procure the appropriation above referred to; other and just as important reasons impel this endorsement. As a member of the Negro race devoted to all causes making for the advancement and uplift of this people, I cannot forget the splendid serv ices rendered with strict impartiality to his Negro constituents as member of the County Central Committee. Every Negro living in the Third Ward old enough to exercise the right of suffrage needs no reminder to recall the liberal, and therefore unprecedented share of patronage accorded the Negro constituency during his incumbency as Committeemen from the Third Ward. Never before or since were this people so handsomely rewarded in the matter of recognition in public places as given by Committeeman Ettelson. In every office in Cook County and several in the state were placed worthy Negro citizens who had fronted the fray of political battles during those stirring days when "Sammy" Ettelson was the leader of the ward. The time has now come for the Negro citizens of this District, and particularly in the Third Ward, where they to such a large extent reside, to show this worthy young man that they appreciate the great good which came to them through his unselfish acts in the past; that they will "pin their faith" to a man of his type, believing in the doctrine that "the hope of the future is measured by the conduct in the past." Let us therefore, as brethren in black, rally to the standard of Samuel A. Ettelson and by united strength linked with his legion of white friends, nominate him on Sept. 15th by a majority so large that none will doubt the warmth and enthusiasm in which he is held by the constituency of the Third Senatorial District. THE LEGISLATIVE VOTERS' LEAGUE ON STATE SENATOR SAMUEL. A. ETTLESON. The Legislative Voters' League, in commending State Senator Samuel A. Ettleson, has this to say in his behalf, that "he was elected to the state senate in 1906 from the Third Senatorial District; that he should be re-elected in 1910. That he is efficient and aggressive in behalf of good measures. That he introduced the bill taking interest on public funds, away from the state treasurer, and put through the State Senate the bill "cheapening school books." With these two important measures to his credit and others as equally important, should in sure Mr. Ettleson's re-election to the state senate, from the Third Senatorial District. The Meeting of the National Medical Association at Washington, D. C. Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, was Re-elected National Treasurer and was the Only M. D. in Chicago to Attend Its Seisions. Dr. Fields of Cairo, Ill., May Be Selected As Vice President of This State. Washington D. C., August 27. Special to The Broad Ax—The twelfth annual session of the National Medical Association, held here this week, will go down in history as the most successful of its long and highly profitable series. The registration of upwards of 500 delegates is the largest yet enrolled, and including the many friends who follow the organization from year to year, there were in the city more than 1,500 visitors during the sitting of the convention. In point of interest, practical character of the papers and discussions and good fellowship generated, the National Medical Association's meeting of 1910 is far and away the best asset in its well-kept ledger, and has done much to increase its sphere of influence and the productive value of its activities. Washington fairly outdid itself in extending the open-handed hospitality for which it is famous the country over, and everybody departs singing the praises of the efficient committee on arrangements and the good people who so nobly rallied around their banner. The nation's capital has had an eye-opener in taking note of the strong and earnest men and women who have given us the benefit of their presence, and the allied professions represented in the Association have been heartened beyond measure by the encouragement that has been given them is such unstinted measure Election of Officers. Following three days of profitable exchange of views on many practical topics looking to the health and happiness of the human family, including reports on the steps taken by the profession to check the ravages of such diseases as tuberculosis, hookworm, pellagra and kindred complaints to which the Negro is said to be peculiarly susceptible, came the election of officers and the fixing of a place to hold the session of 1911. All the week there had been an undercurrent of speculation as to how the five-cornered contest for the presidency would end, and when the final meeting opened Thursday afternoon the atmosphere was tense with excitement, and there was a fever of anxiety among the friends of the candidates. The battle of the ballots resulted in the election of Dr. Austin PUBLIC DRINKING CUPS. Public drinking cups are dangerous. They are recognized by all sanitarians as excellent mediums for transmitting the germs of disease. Especially is this true in public and parochial schools where a large number of children are compelled to use the same cups. Statistics tell us that about one person out of sixty has tuberculosis; and among school children there are always those who have some of the communicable diseases in light form and these are communicated without doubt, by the use of the common cup. So fully is this now understand that several States of the Union have passed laws abolishing the public drinking cup, and compelling walk-roads and public carriers to supply individual cups. The use of individual cups has also been advocated in public and parochial schools. It is doubtful, however, whether this would prove practicable. 'The better and safer plan, no doubt, would be the "bubbling" cups with the water flowing over the rims all the time. Such cups would be safe and sanitary and of the National Association at D. C. has Re-elected National Treasurer Chicago to Attend Its Seisions. Be Selected As Vice President State. M. Curtis, of this city, after a spirited contest, rivaling in enthusiasm a national convention of a political party. Dr. Curtis received 111 votes in a total of 184, as against 72 for Dr. Creed W. Childs and 1 for Dr. W. S. Lofton, both of this city. On motion of Dr. Childs, the election of Dr. Curtis was made unanimous. Drs. G. W. Cabanis, J. W. Mitchell, W. S. Lofton, of Washington, and Dr. Willis S. Sterrs, of Decatur, Ala., were placed in nomination, but withdrew their names before the balloting begun, narrowing the contest down to Curtis and Childs. Other officers were elected as follows: Vice-president, Dr. William M. Slowe, Philadelphia, Pa.; pharmaceutical vice-president, Dr. Henry S. Pope, Baltimore, Md.; general secretary, Dr. John A. Kenney, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; treasurer, Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, Chicago, Ill.; chairman of the executive board, Dr. George E. Cannon, New Jersey; chairman of the surgical section, Dr. Arthur M. Brown, Birmingham, Ala.; chairman medical section, Dr. J. J. France, Portsmouth, Va.; chairman pharmaceutical section, Dr. W. A. Jones, Winston-Salem, N. C. Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, to the great delight of his many friends everywhere, was re-elected National Treasurer, and he was the only M. D. in Chicago who was sufficiently interested in the future success of the National Medical Association to attend its sessions, notwithstanding the fact that several of the so-called big doctors in this city had their names printed on the program, and it was announced far and near that they would attempt to read papers on important subjects. But when the time arrived for them to make their grand stand play, they not only failed to show up, but they also utterly failed to send one word of regret setting forth the reason why they were unable to make connections. Thus showing that they are from the back woods and are one hundred years behind the times. Dr. Fields of Calro, Ill., was the only other Dr. from Ill., present, and he may be selected vice president of this state. it is doubtful that it would involve very much more waste of water than the present dangerous common cup. A cup which had been used in a high school for several months without having been washed, was lined inside with a thick, brownish deposit. How often have you seen drinking cups in similar condition? Under the microscope, this proved to be composed of particles of mud, thousands of bits of dead skin, and millions of bacteria. Some of this sediment was injected under the skin of a healthy guinea pig and 40 hours later the pig died. An examination afterward showed that pneumonia germs had killed the pig. A second guinea pig was inoculated with some of the sediment from the same cup and developed tuberculosis. Careful inquiry showed that several pupils in this school from which the cup was taken were then suffering from consumption. The people of Chicago should start an agitation, asking the school board to install the "bubbling" cups in all Chicago's public schools. If this were done, it would be a long step toward the prevention of disease.

WASHINGTON AND HIS NEGRO NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE (Concluded from page 1) Negro race, for such lamentations make the world tired." In our comment on the above quotation at that time the writer of it was reminded of the fact that "he like Booker T. Washington had become drunk with his own greatness, for such things, happen when men become bloated millionaries. In invariably they assume a lofty attitude, and look down with scorn and contempt, upon the poor unfortunate creatures, whom they consider are far beneath them in every way; that for more than one thousand years the members of the white race have been pumping or pouring their wrongs, into the ears of men composing all the other races on the face of the earth, that there is no middle ground between right and wrong." "Therefore it is the solemn duty of the editors of Negro newspapers, to assist, as best they can, to right the wrongs, which are continually being inflicted upon the sons and daughters of humanity!" It is true that at the recent meeting of Booker T. Washington's Negro National Business League, for selfish reasons and in order to get all the editors of Negro newspapers in line for him, so that they will forever thereafter toot his big tin-horn and proclaim him as the greatest living Negro in the world, gave expression to the following sentiments respecting the Negro newspapers: "Before uttering a single sentence regarding any other subject," said Booker Washington; "I wish to express the deep obligation which the Nat. Negro Business League is under to the Negro press of the country for the generous and unfailing interest which it has taken in this meeting. Were it not for the generous space given to the affairs of this organization—and without cost, it would have been impossible for it to have attained its present degree of success. "More and more in the future than has been true in the past, I plead for the generous and constant support of the Negro press. There are very few agencies which have exerted a greater influence in the uplift of our race than is true of the Negro newspaper, and often this influence is exerted at the price of poverty, hard work and self-denial on the part of the publisher." This all sounds very well, but it would have been much better if Booker T. Washington had not have attempted to crush out and belittle the editors of Negro newspapers prior to the late meeting of his Negro National Business League.

MILLIONS FOR TUBERCULOSIS FROM RED CROSS STAMPS IN 1910. Arrangements for the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals for 1910 were announced in a bulletin issued today by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis and the American Red Cross. "A million for Tuberculosis" will be the slogan of the 1910 campaign. Two features of the sale this year are unique and will bring considerable capital to the tuberculosis fighters. The American National Red Cross is to issue the stamps as in former years, but this organization will work in close co-operation with the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, which body will share in the proceeds of the sales. The charge to local associations for the use of the national stamps has been reduced also from 20 per cent to 12½ per cent, which will mean at least $50,000 more for tuberculosis work in all parts of the United States. The stamps are to be designated as "Red Cross Seals" this year and are to be placed on the back of letters instead of on the front. The National Conference of Tuberculosis Secretaries through its President, Mr. John A. Kingsbury, of New York, has issued a letter calling upon all state and local anti-tuberculosis associations to unite with the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis and the Red Cross Society in the sale of Christmas seals and the extermination of tuberculosis. Every effort will be made to discourage the use of local stamps and to encourage the distribution of the national stickers. It is expected that over 430 anti-tuberculosis associations and hundreds of Red Cross societies in every state of the Union will unite in the sale of Christmas seals. CHATEAU RINK NOTES.

"Know all men by these present that we, the Colored citizens of Chica go in mass meeting assembled, her and now express our hearty commen dation of the splendid record made f A few cheap, unsavory Colored Republican politicians in the Second ward are spending much of their unvaluable time in a vain effort to put Edward D. Green, out of the running in his race for the legislature from the First Senatorial District, some of them loudly claiming that he never accomplished anything while he was a member of that body, and that he never stood very high in the estimation of his fellow citizens and so on, but the following program was rendered at the public reception tendered to Mr. Green at Olivet Baptist Church, Sept. 28th, 1905, which was expressive of the public hearty appreciation of his splendid record in the last legislature, especially commending him for his introduction and successful advocacy of the Anti-Lynching Bill and his tireless and effective support of all law and order legislation. 1.

"At the conference of the National Negro Business League Mr. Roosevelt announced that 'no man who is a good American can fail to subscribe to the doctrine that the country cannot progress save all men up, and not some men up and some men down.'" "Did Mr. Roosevelt mean to include Negroes in his theory of equal justice? Most of his hearers no doubt were familiar with the Brownsville affair, on account of which Mr. Roosevelt dismissed from the United States Army an entire battalon of Negro soldiers of the Twenty-Fifth Infantry without proof of the guilt of a single individual. Nearly 200 Negroes were punished for life by his hasty personal decree. It was a wholesale Executive lynching. Without evidence or trial he convicted every Negro in the three companies, and then threatened to disregard the United States Supreme Court if it interfered with his action." "No man in America is less qualified by his official record than Mr. Roosevelt to speak of the equality of the races." These are the sentiments of intelligent Colored men.

"We commend him for his aggressive, loyal and unswerving support of all legislation for the promotion of Civic rigereousness and assure him that his distinguished services in this regard has won for him a high place in the estimation of all loving people, we especially commend him for introducing the Anti-Mob Law and for his lifetime support which contributed so much to placing its wise and just provisions upon our statue books. By that service he has caused the State of Illinois to take a leading place among those States of the Union which guarantee to every man accused of crime, a fair and impartial trial. "Thereby preserving our State from the infancy of lynch laws, commending him for his unselfish, intelligent and valuable public service, we present him with our earnest wishes for his future welfare.

Green stands in the estimation of the best Colored people in Chicago. FELL DEAD AT TABLE. End Came Sudden to Former Superintendent of Writing. Just as he lifted a cup of tea to his lips at the supper table last Monday evening, Prof. C. W. Bell, the only Colored man who was ever superintendent of writing in the Cincinnati public schools, dropped dead at his home, 2815 Park avenue, Walnut Hills. Prof. Bell had been sick a couple of days but it was thought to be nothing serious. He had been down town to consult Dr. W. H. Falls, Monday, when a heart attack came upon him and he had to be taken home in a cab. But he recovered so far that he went down stairs for supper, and was just starting his meal when the fatal seizure came. He was index clerk in the county clerk's office under Clerks Charles Weldner, Jr., and Peter W. Durr, but was on a two weeks' vacation when death came. Prof. Bell had been active in Republican politics for years, and during the civil war was a member of the famous "Black Brigade," organized in Cincinnati to help protect the city from the expected attack of the confederate raiders.

The biggest "captain of industry" in Chicago is a woman, Mrs. Alleen Christopher, who does the brick business of the city. Mrs. Anita Comfort-Brooks, president of the Gotham club, who initiated the beef boycott in New York, calls her husband, A. Arthur Alfred Brooks, in public by the diminutive Brooksie. Mrs. Maria W. Coronel de Dominguez is said to be the only railroad promoter of her sex in Mexico. She recently perfected all arrangements for the construction of a railroad from Caxaca to the port of Salina Cruz, on the isthmus of Tehuantepec, with a branch line to Puerto Angel, on the Pacific coast. Lady Sarah Wilson, who has visited within the past few years in this country, was in South Africa during the Boer war, on her way to join her husband when she was taken prisoner. She was afterward exchanged for a horse thief. The orders of the Red Cross and St. John of Jerusalem have been conferred upon her. The Rev. Anna B. Shaw is a graduate of Albion college, Michigan, and later worked her way through the theological department of Boston university by preaching Sundays. On account of her sex the Methodist Episcopal church refused to ordain her, but she was finally given the right to officiate by the Protestant Methodist church. Summer Normal at Madison Closes. The summer normal for public school teachers, which closed its sessions at Madison, Va., recently, was presided over by Professor Benjamin Tonsler.

Professor Tonsler is one of the ablest educators of his section of the state and won the highest esteem of the entire corps of teachers. STEADY ADVANCE IN BUSINESS North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association Succeeds. OFFICERED BY CAPABLE MEN Thrifty Organization, Which Started a Few Years Ago In a Small Way, Gives Employment to Hundreds of Persons—Vice President Spaulding an Expert. One of the most successful business concerns organized as the direct result of the inspiration and encouragement which its promoters received from the National Negro Business league is the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association of Durham, N. C. There is nothing so apt to make strong sentiment for the black man, nothing that will do more to ameliorate southern conditions or to even give the Negro greater confidence in himself, than the successful manipulation of large concerns. The officials of the association recognize the importance of solidity, safety and conservatism in all of their business transactions. One of their pet theories is that a goodly portion of every dime collected must eventually find its way into the reserve fund, which is for the protection of its policy holders. As a reward for this conservatism the concern has grown to such an extent that its volume of business has increased in eleven years from $840 in 1890 to $220,100 in 1900. It is not such an easy matter now to begin insurance companies as it once was. The state authorities are beginning to see that some protection must be guaranteed the policy holders and the people who place their trust in the statements of insurance officers. To this end the state of North Carolina must have reports made to its insurance officials, which reports are verified by an examination made by representatives of the state department. In such an examination all the mutual industrial insurance companies, doing business in the state of North Carolina, had assets to protect their policy holders amounting to $91,164.27. Of this amount the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association has $72,808.67. The company has likewise on deposit with the insurance commissioner of South Carolina $20,000 to protect its policy holders in that state and owns valuable property in Columbia, S. C.; Wilmington and Durham, N. C. Its records show that $45,000 have been paid in the last six months in premiums, and writes sick and accident policies, purely accidental policies, industrial insurance policies, and straight life and endowment policies. The office force numbers twenty-one clerks and stenographers, and including agents, managers of districts and traveling men, it gives employment to 650 persons. The present officers are John Merrick, founder and president; Dr. A. M. Moore, secretary and treasurer, and C. C. Spaulding, vice president and general manager. Much of the real success of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association is due to the efforts of Mr. Spaulding, who has made a definite study of insurance. In many respects Mr. Spaulding is regarded as one of the best authorities on insurance in the country, and he knows every detail of the complicated machinery in the North Carolina Mutual office. Mr. Spaulding is aly assisted in the management of the concern by Mr. J. M. Avery. At the Business league meeting in New York Mr. Spaulding gave from the ten years' experience he has had in the insurance business some valuable facts with reference to the management of the work. His subject was "Some Benefits and Dangers in Negro Insurance Business." SHOW OF HANDS DEMANDED. Editor Rogers Contends For Adequate Recognition From Politicians. Speaking of the present political situation in Springfield, Ill., in so far as the Negro is concerned, Editor E. L. Rogers of the Forum says: "If the 'regulars' want you to be for them all they have to do is to be for you. We do not mean that all they have to do is purchase you. We do not believe in a purchasable ballot. What we do want is adequate recognition and consideration from the regulators. "It must not be presumed that the colored vote will be for you simply because you are allied with a certain party or a certain faction of a certain party. We are waiting to see who is for the right and what your policies are before we are prepared to endorse you for anything." Virginia Sunday School Convention. The annual meeting of the Virginia Baptist State Sunday school convention will be held in the Ebenezer Baptist church, Charlotteville, Va. Rev. Dr. Thomas D. Atkins, pastor, from Aug. 24 to 28, inclusive. Promised Christian workers from all sections of the state will be in attendance, and a most profitable meeting is hoped for. No Wonder.

"Well," sighs the man with the wash tie, "now that the aeroplane is becoming popular the women won't spend so much money for automobile hats and veils." "No," growls the man with the ingrowing mustache, "but they'll blow in just as onlk on silk stockings and high heeled shoes."-Jidge. The After Dinner Speaker.

Giving Him a Line. "Are you good at measurements? asked Paul. "I am that!" said Pat quickly. "Iam that," said Pat quickly.

Ordinarily on boiler work, where the rivet must be steam tight and well driven, 1,000 or 1,500 rivets might be considered a good day's work, while on structural work, such as girders, 8,000, 4,000 or more are generally driven, and on such irregular work as trusses probably 2,000 or 2,500. Whales In Deep Water. It is estimated that that a whale when he plunges, as he often does, 4,000 feet down into the sea has to support a pressure of over 200,000 tons, or 187 tons to the square foot. Altitude and Labor. It has been found in Switzerland that in building a railway laborers can work only one-third as long at a height of 10,000 feet as a mile lower. A Golden Bath.

This device was fashioned, it is said, to represent the legend of Danae. Dynamite. Dynamite becomes more dangerous to handle in cold weather, because its nitroglycerin content freezes at from 42 to 46 F. The Man in the Moon.

Oldest Shot Tower. The oldest shot tower in the world, which William Watts made in Bristol, England, in 1769 by sawing a hole in the center of the floors of a house and building a well in the cellar, is still in operation. Helping the Bees. A custom widely prevalent in Germany and Austria is the placing of beehives on wagons and moving them to fields or orchards that are in bloom. Chinese florists have tuberoses of a red color, which, however, is not inherent in the plant, but is produced in two ways—either by placing the flower stalk in water in which a red earth is dissolved or by supplying the roots of the plant with water in which the coloring matter has been dissolved. The Adirondacks. There are no venomous snakes or beasts in all of the great Adirondack forest section, although there are deer in abundance, eagles, pheasants, bears and beavers. Lung Cells. One hundred and seventy-five million cells are in the lungs, which would cover a surface thirty times greater than the human body. In China the natives tie the bottoms of their trousers closely around their ankles and so do not need garters. They have a foodness for American garters, however, but wear them on the outside as ornaments. "A STORE FOR EVERYBODY" HILLMAN'S STATE & WASHINGTON STS.
