Theodore Roosevelt, who declared while president of the United States that "The Colored race was a race of criminals" has such a thirst for power, until he feels that he has been called from on high to set himself up as the czar or the head political boss of America, and the middle of this week at the Republican State Convention at Saratoga, New York, he made up his mind that the State Committee should be denied the right to name the temporary chairman of the convention which has been its custom for many years, and like a big mad bull in a china store, he concluded that he should be permitted to crack his bull whip over its delegates, so he rode rough shod over the convention defeating Vice President James Sunshine Sherman, for its temporary chairman, completely routing all the big chiefs of the "Old Guard" and absolutely dictating the nomination of the following state ticket. For Governor, H. L. Stimson; For Lleut. Governor, Edward Schoenick; For Secretary of State, S. S. Koenig; For Controller, James Thompson; For Treasurer, Thomas F. Fennell; For Attorney Gen., Edward R. O'Malley; For Surveyor, Frank M. Williams; For Judge of Court of Appeals, I. G. Vann. To say the least there is much bitterness existing among the members of the "Old Guard" who have in the JOHN R. WALSH, THE AGED CHICAGO BANKER, SHOULD BE PARDONED BY PRESIDENT TAFT. Archbishop Ireland and Many Prominent Citizens Signed the Petition Asking For His Release From Imprisonment. It is well indeed that a movement is on foot to induce President William H. Taft to pardon John R. Walsh, the aged Chicago banker, from the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kansas, and the prospects are bright in the way of accomplishing this object. So far within the past two or three months many thousands of the best citizens residing in the states forming the central or the middle west, have signed and forwarded petitions onto Washington asking for his freedom, so that he can be restored to his devoted wife, Mrs. Mary R. Walsh, who has stood by him through thick and thin, for these many years, without complaining, and the rest of his family and his old home, where he may be permitted to end his declining years in peace, for he has suffered good and plenty for all of his past sins or wrongful acts. Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul, Minn., who is much beloved by the great mass of his fellow-countrymen for his broad views and liberal spirit along religious lines, and the following are among the most prominent citizens residing hereabouts who have implored President Taft, to temper his judgement with mercy in relation to releasing John R. Walsh, from imprisonment. James B. Forgan, president of the First National Bank, Chicago. "From the fact that he is a very old man," wrote Mr. Forgan, I have HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY past made it possible for Col. Roosevelt to be what he is politically, over his ungentlemanly conduct, and the rough or raw tactics he resorted to in order to lerd it over them, their followers and the delegates attending the State convention. For years, Col. Roosevelt, has been traveling up and down this land, working his jaws overtime in rallying against and denouncing the heads and managers of the Trusts, and other corporations, as "Thieves, grafters, and undesirable citizens." At the same time, representing himself, as the embodiment of all that is pure and noble, in politics and all the affairs of mankind. That he was so saintly that he would spurn aside with scorn any favors or courtesies, which the Trust magnates, might be inclined to extend to him. But it turns out, that while Col. Roosevelt, as President of the United States, was engaged in denouncing the heads of the Trusts, he was deadheading his way on the railroads over this country, and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, has a bill charged up against him for railroad fare, for more than $100,000, and he has refused to pay it. Since the formation of this earth many thousand millions years ago, many rascals and hypocrites have appeared upon it, but none of them have proven themselves to be greater hypocrites than Theodore Roosevelt. asked that he be pardoned, believing that from the standpoint of humanity he has already been "sufficiently punished." Former Mayor John P. Hopkins, Mayor Fred A. Busse, Samuel Insull, Senators Cullom and Lorimer, Fred W. Upham, Roy O. West, Roger C. Sullivan, Thomas M. Jackson, former counter of the Chicago National Bank; Lyman A. Walton, former president of the Equitable Trust Company; F. D. Meacham, W. T. Fenton, Charles G. Dawes, former Comptroller of the Currency under President McKinley; Frederick Blount, former vice president of the Chicago National Bank, and William J. Onahan, former president of the Home Savings Bank. These and hundreds of other business men in this city, including more than one dozen of other prominent bankers have lately joined in seceching the President to grant liberty unto him. And as every one of those who had money in the three banking institutions controlled by John R. Walsh, received every penny of their money which they had intrusted to his care, within a few hours after his banks closed their doors in December, 1905, which was largely spite work on the part of bank examiner Bosworth, and as Mr. Walsh, cheerfully gave up his entire fortune in order to pay his honest debts, without uttering one word of complaint, and as he has suffered untold agony and pain and everlasting shame and disgrace for simply doing what other bankers have done and are doing every business day in the year. Therefore President Taft, should gladen his heart and permit him to return to his old home on Thanksgiving morning, 1810. CHICAGO, OCTOBER 1, 1910. [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie].

International Tuberculosis Emblem Adopted in 1902. Although the double red cross has been used in America for more than four years as the international emblem of the crusade against tuberculosis, few people have known how it originated until announcement of the history of the symbol was made public to-day by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. It has been ascertained that the double red cross was first suggested as the symbol of the International Anti-Tuberculosis Association in Berlin in October, 1902. The proposer of the symbol was Dr. G. Sersiron of Paris who is now Associate Secretary of L'Association Centrale Francaise Contre la Tuberculose. Dr. Sersiron's proposal was adopted at the Berlin meeting and a movement was at once started to secure official recognition and protection for the double cross from European governments. The double red cross is similar in shape to a cross used frequently in the Greek Catholic Churches, and also to the Lorraine Cross of France. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in the United States has adopted the proportions of nine for the length of the cross to five for the width of the arms, with a space of one ninth of the length between the arms. In 1902, when the double red cross was adopted, there were not more than a half-dozen associations for the prevention of tuberculosis organized on a wide basis. To-day under the banner of the anti-tuberculosis crusade, associations have been formed in almost every civilized country in the world. Even China is beginning to take action along this line, while in Turkey, India, Japan, the Philippines, South Africa, Australia, Iceland, and in all of the European countries active societies are at work. In the United States, from four independent associations in 1902, the double red cross now enlist a carefully organized national movement under which are affiliated more than thirty state bodies and 420 local societies. If to these agencies are added the local, state, and national governments enrolled in anti-tuberculosis work, the double red cross becomes the symbol of the greatest organized campaign for the prevention of disease that the world has ever known. MASS MEETING AT QUINN CHAPEL, WEDNESDAY, SEPT 28th, While the Steve Green mass meeting at Quinn Chapel was not all what it might have been financially it doubtless served the purpose intended in that it gave the people a thorough knowledge of the cause which gave rise to Mr. Green's spectacular flight from his home in Jericho, Arkansas. Those who were interested had an opportunity of learning the facts of the case from the lips of those who have had the greatest activity in his release. It also should create another important movement to the end that a permanent legal society for the purpose of defending those whose liberty is unjustly encroached upon. The meeting 'n question was very interesting and among those who spoke was Rev. Reynolds of Trinity Mission, Mr Daniel M. Jackson, the undertaker Rev. A. J. Carey, Attorney W. G. Anderson, and Hon. Ed. H. Wright. The meeting was presided over by Rev. W. D. Cook, Pastor of Quinn Chapel, and J. Gray Lucas. The various speakers ably and creditably promulgated their theme withquence and interest. Much credit is due the committee who has had in hand the work of liberating Steve Green, the personelle of which is as follows: Mr. A. A. Cunningham, the prominent real estate dealer of the West Side, Frank L. Hamilton, Rev. A. J. Carey, Rev. T. A. Clark, Rev. Timothy Reeves, Dan. M. Jackson, W. R. Cowan, Attorney, B. F. Meyley, and James Hale Porter. Mr. Steve Green was brought to the meeting at 9:30 by undertaker Jacob L. Parks and James H. Porter and by his manly bearing made a favorable impression on the audience. John E. Owens, candidate for judge of the county court, is still whoooping it up and as he will continue to put up a stiff fight until the close of the polls on election day; it looks as though he will be successful at the polls. Former Judge Edward Osgood Brown, who was one of the signers of the first call of the Negro National Conference, which met in New York City the latter part of May, 1909, and who is in sympathy with every movement for the advancement of the Colored people; will undoubtedly be elected to the Cook County bench November 8th. George McAneny President of the Borough of Greater Manhattan. IMPARTED SOUND ADVICE TO THE COLORED PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. HE DECLARED THAT THEY SHOULD ESTABLISH A STRONG CENTRAL LEGAL BUREAU COMPOSED OF MEN WHO ARE ABLE TO PROSECUTE THOSE WHO KILL AND CALL IT LAW, AND TO LOOK AFTER THE CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS OF THE NEGRO. At the meeting of the Negro National Business League, in New York, City, recently, George McAneny, president of Greater Manhattan, eloquently spoke in part as follows in welcoming the delegates o that city. been formed on behalf of the Co-ord people. "Is there," he asks, "militant national board like those that have constituted themselves in Europe to watch over and guard the interests of the Jewish race? Are "It is a great pleasure to take part in welcoming once more to New York City this admirable and most useful organization, and to note its steady growth in membership and influence since you were last here. I have read your proceedings and have noted with never varying satisfaction the increasing respect with which you are received in every town in which you hold your meetings. The usefulness of such an organization is self-evident. It is to be doubted, I think, if in any other nation on the earth there is as much organizing as goes on in the United States, not only for business purposes, but for social pleasures and advantages. The Colored people are not lacking in this characteristic desire to form associations; to many it seems as if they had it in an even larger degree than our white citizens. I hope so. If there is one word which I should wish to preach to the Colored people at this function of their existence as citizens of the United States, it is organize, or organize, organize! Organize for protection, and for mutual advantage but particularly for protection. The Era of the Efficient Man. 'No one, I am sure, is more eager to see the Negro progress in business than I. With everything that has been said at any time in regard to the desirability of his having a bank account, of owning lands and farms and homes, and building up a useful business, I heartily sympathize. This is the era of the efficient man; that is, the efficient man is on top in every walk of life there is room for him. We are never, as a nation, too busy to stop and admire the efficiency of some one else. It was highly suggestive in connection with the late E. H. Harriman that even those of us who dissented most emphatically from his business methods and principles in financial operations, were yet compelled to acknowledge and praise his skill and efficiency in railroad management. "Such meetings as these not only increase your efficiency, they make for solidarity, and if there is one thing the Colored people need above all else it is solidarity. So great are the disadvantages under which they are compelled to stagger, so bitter are the persecutions to which they are subject, so terrible are the injustices to which they are compelled to yield, that they ought to stand shoulder to shoulder like the soldiers of that noble black regiment, the Fifty-fifth Massachusetts, when it charged upon the breastworks of Fort Wagner behind its beloved colonel, Robert Gould Shaw. Negroes Should Have Strong National Committees. 'For a long time past it has seemed to me that in addition to such beneficial organizations as this the Colored people of the United States ought to have a strong national committee of their own and their white friends to direct their energies and their friends energies toward the preservation of their liberties and the righting of their wrongs, precisely as there have been steering committees for the Irish people, and for the Poles of Prussia. The intelligent foreign visitor to this country usually asks what self-defense organizations have Any President of though of Greater E COLORED PEOPLE THROUGH- HOULD ESTABLISH A STRONG J COMPOSED OF MEN WHO THOSE WHO KILL AND CALL IT FOR THE CIVIL AND POLITICAL been formed on behalf of the Colored people. "Is there," he asks, "no militant national board like those that have constituted themselves in Europe to watch over and guard the interests of the Jewish race? Are there none in power to forward their interests in every field, not merely in the business field, but in the domain of civil and political rights Has it no strong central legal bureau, no national publicity bureau to lay beprosecute men who kill and call it law, a body certain to insist upon the punishment of guilty officials, to prosecute lax authorities and bring civil suits for damages against local or county authorities? Is there no national publicity bureau to lay before the people of the country the injuries to and the progress of the Colored race and to speak with the authority which comes from having associated with it men of distinction, renown, unquestioned integrity and patriotic purpose? Is there no national educational bureau which shall do for the Colored people in a remote decree what the General Educational Board is doing for white education with its more than fifty millions of Rockefeller money? Anything Short of Absolute Equality Before the Law is Slavery Before the Law is Slavery. "My friends of the Business League, do not let the historian of the future say that in this money-making age the Colored American in his need and dire extremity became so engrossed in the accumulation of means and the establishment of business as to forget those higher things without which he cannot hope to succeed and rise to great usefulness, to be really worthy of his heritage of American citizenship. Do not forget that while every effort must be spent in fortifying yourself in every community by business and material success, equal effort must be devoted to that of far greater moment, the insistence upon the Negro's equal and political rights in every place and in every time. "The struggle between the Colored man and the white-man who hold him down is simply another attempt of the privileged to hold others in subjection. Anything short of absolute equality before the law is slavery; 'Slavery,' said Victor Hugo, the great in 1851, in words that are as true today as they were in that period when the breaking of the slave's chains seemed as far away as does today the repeal of the Jim Crow laws, "Slavery, in such a country! Can there be an incongruity more monstrous? Barbarism installed in the very heart of a country which is itself the affirmation of civilization; liberty wearing a chain; blasphemy echoing from the altar; the collar of the Negro chained to the pedestal of Washington! * * * What! when slavery is departing from Turkey, shall it rest in America? What! Drive it from the hearth of Omar, and adopt it at the hearth of Franklin? * * * The United States must renounce slavery, or they must renounce liberty. They cannot renounce liberty. They must renounce slavery, or renounce the Gospel. They will never renounce the Gospel.' "My friends, this Republic cannot exist half slave and half free any more today than it could in the time of Abraham Lincoln. A house divided against itself must finally fall in the twentieth century as it did in the nineteenth."

The questions, what is God? and what is death? have for centuries, in every land, agitated millions of minds. God is a myth like Santa Claus; a man made character like a fictitious hero or villian in a novel; a creation of the human imagination; a fabulous being. Death is the total and permanent cessation of individual life. Dead men and women do not, and cannot; live again. When we die, we are dead. Man has no immortal soul which is separated at death from his body. What becomes of us at death? Our organization begins to dissolve into its primal, component elements. These discoveries definitely and finally settle the questions of the true nature of God and death. We do not take away God from idolaters. We have simply discovered that no God exists. We do not rob superstitionists of a future life. We have simply discovered that there is no future life. We did not make these truths; we only discovered them. The man who discovered that the earth was round, when the majority of people believed that it was flat, did not alter its shape. It had been that shape all the time. We can no more create a real God and soul by believing that they exist than we can make the earth flat by believing it to be so. The knowledge and acceptance of our discoveries will kill forever the germs of religions. We attack the foundations of all religions. When the foundation goes, the superstructure falls. Destroy the root and the tree withers and dies. W. H. Kerr, Great Bend, Kas. KEEP THEM OUT. The fly season is not over. In fact, with the cool autumn days coming on flies are, if anything more of a nuisance and more dangerous than they were during the very warm weather. Just now you will notice them hanging in swarms about the doors and eager to get in out of the cold. But as they are also stupid and eluggish, they are more easily killed. A good plan is to brush them down with a broom or swat them with a folded newspaper. But be very careful to kep them out of the house. All summer long they have lived out of doors on all kinds of filth. Now they would get in and feast from your good things and at the same time leave the germs of disease on everything they touch. It is doubtless true that nearly every made reader of this publication is a member of some one or more of the internal organizations. To these we have a suggestion to offer as to badly ventilated lodge halls. It is very important that all places of public assembly be well ventilated. Even a few persons in a room will soon poison the air and render it unfit to breathe unless there is proper ventilation. Some lodge rooms are very poorly ventilated. Janitors in charge of places of this kind should use to it that they are thoroughly aired out after each meeting. And you as members should on having windows lowered a little from the top and raised a little from the bottom while your lodges are in session. This will insure you a supply of fresh air and also provide means for the escape of dirty, dangerous air. NEED FOR ORGANIZED FOREST FIRE PROTECTION AMONG PRIVATE OWNERS. Washington, September 28-One of the lessons which will finally be drawn from the trying experience of the present forest fire season, in the belief of officials of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, is the need of wider organization among private owners of timber to safeguard their holdings. It is pointed out that already in the Northwest, both on the Pacific Coast and in Montana and Idaho, timberland owners have formed themselves into associations which assess the members on an acreage basis and thus meet the cost of maintaining a regular patrol and fire-fighting organization. Only by getting together can private owners usually assure themselves protection, for fire is no respecter of boundary lines and the man who undertakes to keep it out of his own timber will want it kept out of his neighbor's too. Wherever possible the Government's forest officers co-operate with the force put in the field by the associations, so that the employees of the Government and those of the private owners are handled practically as a unit in fighting the common enemy. This corporation is advantageous to both sides. Protection of the National Forests necessarily carries with it a good deal of protection of adjoining or interior holdings. If the private owners would everywhere shoulder their reasonable share of the burden, the public would gain both through more general forest conservation and through relief from the necessity of paying for the protection of private timber in order to protect its own.

ORIGINAL ORDER OF ROEBUCKS DOING REAL SAMARITAN WORK Organized Primarily For the Purpose of Getting Rid of the Difficulties Which Confront the Negro In Secret Societies Where Both Races Work Under the Same Ritual and Charter. Perhaps no member of the Beneficent and Philanthropic Order of Roebucks of America is doing more toward making known the true merits and benefits of the organization than Supreme Deputy J. G. Carroll of Winnfield, La. Being imbued with the spirit of the order, believing in its principles and purposes and knowing the benefits to be derived by being a member, Mr. Carroll has gone out in earnest to build it up in influence and membership. In this he is succeeding admirably. He expects to institute local lodges throughout the south as rapidly as possible. No secret order of the Negro race offers better opportunities or advantages for self help than the Order of Roebucks. The founder of the order was a man of wide knowledge and experience in the work of secret and fraternal societies. Being aware of the difficulties which confront our people from time to time in organizations where both races work under the same ritual and charter was the primary cause for bringing into existence an original Negro organization of national scope. The object of the Order of Roebucks is not only for caring for its members in the time of illness by giving financial aid and personal attention, but to encourage the race in business, education and along all lines of industrial pursuit. The order also encourages the support of such agencies for racial uplift as orphanages, settlement and neighborhood work. In addressing a large audience of persons recently at Winfield Mr. Carroll told them that the Order of Roebucks was doing real Samaritan work. While priests and Levites with pharaical pride pass by on the other side, said he, leaving the wounded, helpless widows and orphans to suffer, we stoop down, pick them up, bind up their wounds, relieve their suffering, put them in our organization, make them welcome and re-establish their going. The order takes members, both male and female, in ages ranging from eighteen to fifty-five. Our race is advancing in business and in the higher branches of learning. We are sensible, however, of the fact that in order to make our citizenship more respected and our influence felt for good we must deal fairly and squarely by all persons with whom we have any dealing. Our motto, "Once a Roebuck always a Roebuck," runs like a silver lining throughout the organization, giving hope and inspiration to the members, ever reminding them of their duty to the organization and to themselves. OHIO POLITICIANS BUSY. T. W. Fleming Elected to State Executive Committee. At the meeting of the Republican state central committee held in Columbus, O. the week ending Aug. 27 City Councilman Thomas W.

This is Mr. Fleming's third term as a member of the committee, he having succeeded George A. Myers on the committee in 1906. Mr. Fleming is the leading colored politician in Ohio and last fall was elected to the city council of Cleveland, being the first colored man to be so honored. Forty-two members constitute the committee. The other colored members are H. T. Eubanks of Lakewood, O.; Charles R. Doll, Chillicothe, O., and William Copeland, Cincinnati. The Ohio campaign will open Spet. 17, and signs point to the election of Warren G. Harding as governor and the entire Republican ticket in November. Association of Graduate Nurses. The fourth annual meeting of the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses will be held in Washington in August, 1911. The newly elected officers for the ensuing year are: Mrs. Mary A. Tucker, president of the Philadelphia Graduate Nurses' association, national president; first vice president, Miss Mary R. Clark, Richmond, Va.; second vice president, Miss V. T. McKnight, Mercy hospital, Philadelphia; recording secretary, Miss C. A. Rhone, North Carolina; corresponding secretary, Mrs. E. B. Watkins, New York; treasurer, Miss Adah B. Samuels, New York. Promotion For Elmo M. Anderson. The promotion of Elmo M. Anderson of the census bureau in Washington to a more lucrative position in that department is encouraging. An increase in salary comes with his rise in position and, of course, greater responsibility. KNOX SOUNDS WARNING Time For Negro Voters to Break Camp He Says. Under the caption "Put Thought Into It" Editor E. C. Knox of the Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman says: "The Negro voters for years have shown a devotion to the one party—Republican—which for faithfulness is really pathetic. As long as old conditions maintained, when all the good came through one party, as it was thought, to community, to country, to race, these voters were doing the proper thing, since it should be the purpose to bring about the best possible condition to all. "But parties change, as men change, as the fashions change. The good thing of yesterday is a bad thing for today. Politics is as variable as the waters. "If clinging blindly to the past means present perturbment, then it is the plain duty to swing out into the clear, get a better bearing on things. Pick and choose your change and then anchor alongside. "We hold that something of the thing hoped for will be gained if the Negro voters break camp, scatter as the necessity calls, into such parties and groups as answer their political views, such views being influenced by the happenings and circumstances that change other men. "This is the political intelligence that must be exerted in order to avoid the grooves where men stagnate and decay. Neither party at this day wishes the blind allegiance of a class based on services tendered in a past that is no part of the present." CAPABLE MAN ON THE JOB R. L. Powell, Who Has Mastered Art of Manufacturing Ice Cream. Manifestations of the fact that our people are succeeding along most all lines of business and in the professions are almost daily occurrences. The manufacturing of ice cream, however, is a field to which the race has not given much serious thought from a business standpoint. True, there are among us a number of capable men who have made good as caterers or confectioners, but the fine art of the business as a money making venture, we fear, has only been lightly entered into. One of the best qualified men in the art of manufacturing this toothsome product of whom we know in Greater New York is Robert Lincoln Powell. Mr. Powell has held the position of foreman in the manufacturing department of the Reid Ice Cream company at its summer plant in Asbury Park, N. J., for a number of years and has given entire satisfaction. In the winter season Mr. Powell is employed by another concern in Brooklyn. He knows the business in all of its complex parts and is thoroughly reliable. It might be the key to his future success if he would go into the business for himself. DR. WASHINGTON LIKES BERT WILLIAMS' WORK Saya Comedian Is a Tremendous Asset to the Negro Race. When I go to the theater, which is not often, I generally go to hear the colored comedian Bert Williams, says Dr. Booker T. Washington in the September American Magazine. I go to hear him, however, as often as I have opportunity, and I am seldom in the same city with him that I do not find myself, if I harp to have an hour of leisure, drifting in the direction of the theater in which he is playing. If I were a dramatic critic I suppose I might give some sound logical reasons for liking Bert Williams' style and methods. But I am not a critic, and vaudeville performances, as a rule, strike me as tiresome. There is so much that seems to me strained and artificial and lacking in the flavor of ordinary wholesome human nature. But Bert Williams' humor strikes me as the real thing. There is nothing secondhand or second rate about it. His fun seems to flow spontaneously and without effort, as if it came from some deep natural source in the man himself. Besides, there are a quality and a flavor about Bert Williams' humor which indicate that it is the natural expression of a thoughtful and observing mind. Bert Williams is a tremendous asset of the Negro race. He is an asset because he has succeeded in actually doing something, and because he has succeeded the fact of his success helps the Negro many times more than he could help the Negro by merely contenting himself to whine and complain about racial difficulties and racial discriminations. The fact is that the American people are ready to honor and to reward any man who does something that is worth while, no matter whether he is black or white, and Bert Williams' career is simply another illustration of that fact. The Question of Human Rights. Speaking to a large audience of Afro-Americans in Brooklyn recently on the question of human rights, Charles Lenz, Ph. D., president of the Original Rights Society of America, said: "White nor black can compromise on the question of human rights. The south hates the north as much as it hates the Negro. It is the arch enemy of democracy. "The civil war was not carried to its logical conclusion, but it is too late now to correct the mistake. There is trouble ahead for the nation, for this question must be finally settled right." He will bury cheaper than the trust [Name] GEO.

Queen Elizabeth in the last year of her reign was much concerned as to the expenses of the royal household. According to a document in the public record office, she ordered a comparison to be made between the expenditure incurred in the third and the forty-third years of her reign, when "yt was found that in bread, beare, wyne, wood, coles, wax lights, torches, tallow lights and meetes and other allowances of incidents, necessaries, carriages and wages £12,000 (60,000) per annum at least more was spent and no sufficient warrant for the increase. The queene's majestie being informed of this difference said: 'I will not suffer this dishonorable spoile and increase that no prince ever before me did. But my speedie order for reformacion shall satisfy my loving subjects, for I will end as I beganne with my subjects' love.'

The ancients thought the world was flat I'm really not surprised at that; We'd find it flat, I dare to say, If we were living in their day.

Poets as a rule are not good business men, but an exception is one of a little group of young writers and artists who dine every evening together and talk shop. The poet very often reads the verses he has composed, and sometimes the comments are not exactly flattering. "That's rotten" exclaimed an artist on hearing one of these effusions recently. "Til bet you $5 I can sell it to a magazine," replied the poet. The wager was made, and the artist lost. Since that the poet has made several similar bets with his scouting friends and has won them all. He was chuckling over it to an outsider the other day. "You must have wonderful confidence in the merit of your work," said the rank outsider. "Confidence nothing," laughed the poet. "I couldn't lose. I never read a poem to those fellows until I have first sold it."—New York Sun. Caring For Eyeglasses. Most people seem to think that glasses will stand any sort of treatment, and yank and pull at them until they go to the repair shop with alarming frequency. Glasses should never be taken off with one hand; an optician advises that they be carefully grasped by the rims of the lenses on both sides and removed by pushing upward. Pulling at one side of spectacles bends the frame; with noseglasses it loosens the screw, and the lens shakes continually. Sometimes this happens in spite of care, and then it is well to purchase one of the tiny screwdrivers used by opticians and tighten them whenever necessary. Clean your glasses with some soft material—a common piece of tissue paper is better than any medium yet invented—and occasionally give them a bath in warm water into which a little ammonia has been dropped.

CEMETERY ASSOCIATION The Street, Chicago It Awakens New Interest and Saved Time, Says J. W. Sanford. Public schoolteachers who attended the summer normal at Teague, Tex., the past summer have expressed their unqualified approval of Professor T. Samuel Harrison's method of quick reading, writing and spelling. The school was conducted under the supervision of Mr. J. W. Sanford. In speaking of the success of Professor Harrison's methods at the sessions of the normal this year Mr. Sanford says: "All teachers who expect to keep in the foremost rank with the best educators should by all means give this method a fair trial. "I am sure if it is rightly used it will economize time and also awaken new interest in the pupils. It is quite an improvement on our present methods." Christianity Should Begin at Home. From the number of horrible murders of helpless women and lynching of equally defenseless Negroes the white man seems to be falling from his vaunted high degree and to be returning to his former savagery. Could not much of the wealth and energy spent in foreign missionary work find greater opportunities in America? Charity should begin at home.-Los Angeles (Cal.) New Age. He—When shall we get married?
