ON THE OTHER HAND GOVERNOR PENNSYLVANIA, ABSOLUTEL MENTAL BILL CREATING AMMENT INTO THE NATIONAL G Governor William Sulzer of the Great Empire State has again proven his ability to raise far above race prejudice and let the world of mankind know that he does not entertain narrow and contracted ideas against any man nor against any set or number of men on account of their color or race, and being a broad minded and progressive statesman in the truest sense of the word, recently he freely signed the "Bill" which had been passed by the Legislature of that state appropriating $25,000 to enable the Afro-Americans residing within its confines to properly celebrate the 50th anniversary of the freedom of the slaves and to note the progress they have made in that length of time. Governor Sulzer has appointed the following Afro-Americans as commissioners: Robert N. Wood, President of the United Colored Democracy of Greater New York City, chairman; Editor Sumner H. Lark, Brooklyn, New York, vice-chairman; Rev. G. Simms, New York City; John B. Hillery, New York City; Rev. Wm. A. Byrd, Rochester, N. Y.; James D. Carr, New York City; John B. Clayton, Brooklyn, N. Y.; James H. Anderson, New York City; Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, New York City. Governor Sulzer deserves to be highly commended for selecting some of the best and most prominent Colored men in his state to ably manage or conduct the affairs in connection with the celebration and exposition and for brushing aside the loud mouthed and pestiferous Negro who is unable to pay dog taxes and who is utterly unworthy to receive the slightest consideration from the hands of decent and respectable men. Lately Governor Sulzer also signed the "Bill" creating and admitting a Colored Regiment into the National Guard of that state; on the other hand Governor Tener of Pennsylvania, who is a strong and a red-hot Republican who has always had the united vote and support of all the Colored people every time he has ran for office absolutely refused to sign the Regimental Bill, creating and admitting a Colored Regiment into the National Guard of the Keystone state. To the end of his days, Governor Tener should hang his head in shame, for denying simple justice in that respect to the Colored people residing in Pennsylvania. Strong pressure was brought to bear on Governor Sulzer with a view of preventing him from signing the bill in favor of admitting the Colored soldiers into the National Guard of that state. But with all the opposition in that respect he did not waver nor falter one particle in adhering to right and justice and we are at a loss to find sufficient words to sound the praises of Governor Sulzer for the noble and manly stand he assumed and for the undying friendship he has manifested in many important ways towards the Afro-American race. The Albany Argus, established in 1813, the oldest and strongest Democratic newspaper in New York State, voices its sentiments as follows, on the acts of Governor Sulzer: HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY In signing the bill to give our Negro citizens recognition in the National Guard Governor Sulzer again has demonstrated what so many of his friends have known, and have asserted for years, that he is a great big man; that he can rise above race prejudice and religious bigotry, and do justice to man on account of man—regardless of race or religion. The Governor wrote upon the statute books of the State of New York three great laws that will forever endear him to all friends of humanity. First, the civil rights law, which will do more than any other single act, in all the history of our State, for justice and equality to all, and wipe out race prejudice and race hatred. Secondly, the law appointing a commission of Negroes, and appropriating $25,000 to fittingly celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. This great event certainly should be commemorated by the State of New York, and the Governor has seen to it that justice was done in the matter. Thirdly, the law giving the Negro citizens their rights regarding the National Guard. For a quarter of a century they have been struggling for this recognition, and for all these years the door of opportunity was shut in their faces. At last came William Sulzer to the executive head of the greatest State in the Union. He was brave enough, and big enough, and far seeing enough to do justice. What he has done in these matters, to say nothing of the other great things he has accomplished, is a tribute to his head and heart, and will be a monument to his greatness as a Governor more enduring than marble and brass. Let the naggers nag. Let the little men of little brains wail and whine. Let the critics criticize. They cannot hurt the fame of New York's popular Governor who goes on doing good; on doing right; on doing justice; on fighting for progress and humanity. All honor to this brave man William Sulzer, who works for the people. All glory to New York's great Governor who loves to do right simply because it is right, who asks for no credit and no praise, but who always commands his own self respect, and ever has the approval of his own conscience.

Neighbors, one thousand dollars each contributed by the other parties subscribing for that amount of stock and agreeing to pay as follows: One Hundred dollars at the time of subscribing and one hundred dollars per month for nine consecutive months thereafter until the sum of one thousand dollars for each subscription had been paid. On or about June 10th, a special meeting was called at the solicitation of Mr. W. T. Mason, at which meeting he informed the Trustees present that he had received a letter from R. G. Dun and Co., inquiring as to whether he was a member of the co-partnership known as THE HOME SECURITY SAVINGS BANK, which letter he took to his attorney, who advised him that he would be responsible for all the debts and obligations of the Bank. It was the intention of the organizers to limit the liabilities of the subscribers to the amount of stock subscribed by them. Mr. Mason suggested that the organization be dissolved, which CHICAGO, June 19, 1913. THE HOME SECURITY SAVINGS BANK, the institution for which ED MUND C. DAY, was appointed Receiver, on June 17th, 1913, was a continuation of the South Side Branch of the American Banking Association. Unsatisfactory business dealings made it necessary for the Colored persons interested in the American Banking Association to withdraw from that Association and, in order to protect the interests of the Colored subscribers and depositers, WM. D. NEIGHBORS undertook to reorganize the South Side Branch with Colored men exclusively. After considerable deliberation the following gentlemen, on April 19th, entered into a contractual relation known as THE HOME SECURITY SAVINGS BANK, with a capital of Fifty thousand ($50,000) dollars: W. T. Mason, Robt. T. Milner, Frank L. Gale, Champ H. Green, Anthony Overton, and Wm. D. Neighbors. The gentlemen were made the Trustees of the Bank and the following were selected as Officers: President, Anthony Overton; 1st V. P., Frank L. Gale; 2nd V. P., W. T. Mason; 3rd V. P., Champ H. Green; Secretary and Cashier, Wm. D. Neighbors. The certificate of the association was recorded and the institution began business immediately after its organization. Leasehold, furniture and fixtures con- tributed by Wm. D. Neighbors, one thousand dollars each contributed by the other parties subscribing for that amount of stock and agreeing to pay as follows: One Hundred dollars at the time of subscribing and one hundred dollars per month for nine consecutive months thereafter until the sum of one thousand dollars for each subscription had been paid. On or about June. 10th, a special meeting was called at the solicitation of Mr. W. T. Mason, at which meeting he informed the Trustees present that he had received a letter from R. G. Dun and Co., inquiring as to whether he was a member of the co-partnership known as THE HOME SECURITY SAVINGS BANK, which letter he took to his attorney, who advised him that he would be responsible for all the debts and obligations of the Bank. It was the intention of the organizers to limit the liabilities of the subscribers to the amount of stock subscribed by them. Mr. Mason suggested that the organization be dissolved, which was agreed to by those present, and it was further suggested that a meeting be called in the near future to reorganize in some other form. The members expressing themselves as being of the opinion that the agreement they had entered into did limit their liabilities, but that in order to avoid injuring their credit standing with the commercial agencies they thought it best to change the form of the organization and so advised the agencies. Nothing being said as to how, or when, the affairs of the then-existing organization should be wound up. On the 11th of June, Mr. Mason, through his attorney, demanded of Wm. D. Neighbors, the Cashier of the Bank, the return of his notes which had been given in payment for the stock subscribed for by him. Mr. Neighbors refused to return the notes, stating that they were the property of the Association, and that he had no power to return them, unless directed to do so by all the persons interested in the organization. Whereupon the attorney became abusive and threatened to have a receiver appointed if the notes were not delivered to him at once. Mr. Neighbors still refused and on June 17th, application was made for a receiver, who was appointed. Since the appointment of the receiver many statements have been made through the daily news reputed to have Major Robert R. Jackson The Fearless Representative in the Legislature of Illinois. FROM THE THIRD SENATORIAL DISTRICT HAS MADE A GALLANT AND BRILLIANT FIGHT IN BEHALF OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE. HE HAS SUCCEEDED BY HIS WINNING WAYS AND PLEASANT MAN-NER IN KILLING OFF LEGISLATION WHICH WOULD BE INJU-BIOUS TO THE BEST INTERESTS OF BOTH THE WHITE AND THE COLORED RACE RESIDING IN ILLINOIS.

"Many of these statements are false. The truth of the matter is, Mr. Mason and Mr. Milner, in order to avoid the payment of their notes for one thousand dollars each, have tried to force me to assume responsibility for all the liabilities of the bank and to return to them their notes given in performance of a contract which had been entered into after six weeks of deliberation and had been in existence sixty days. Now, by these malicious statements which are being made by them and their White attorneys they seek to wreck the bank, ruin me and cause loss to all persons who have claims against the bank. There are sufficient assets to repay to the depositors and creditors of the institution dollar for dollar, if the assets are not consumed in the payment of receiver's fees, etc. I am determined that every dollar due the creditors of the institution shall be paid and that those responsible for the uncalled-for condition shall pay for their conduct. The continuous and persistent association in the newspaper statements of John W. Worthington with the present affairs of the HOME SECURITY SAVINGS BANK is wholly unwarranted by the facts in the case. The statement reputed to have been made by T. Sheffey that he had deposited one thousand five hundred dollars with me when the bank first opened is false. Mr. Sheffey never at any time had more than two hundred dollars in the bank. I think the books now show that he has fifty-eight dollars and fifty-two cents in the bank. The statement reputed to have been made by A. F. Codozoe that he had deposited a small amount in the bank is wholly false, as Codozoe has never deposited one cent with the bank. As to the statement reputed to have been made by Alfonso Telier that only ten dollars had been paid on a check given his wife for fifty dollars is false, as the books of the bank will show that a check for fifty dollars, and I think, another check for fifteen dollars, have recently been paid.

His clear-cut appearance at all times, affability, display of shrewdness and ability, coupled with diplomacy and his bull-dog courage in winning his seat, won for him the admiration and respect of the entire membership of the House and Senate. He had the ear of Speaker McKinley and maintained the good record left by his predecessors. The books of the bank have been at the disposal of the receiver, for his inspection since his appointment, and his representative was so informed and advised as to where they could be found." DAVID MCGOWAN IS NOT FIGURING ON SELLING NOE TRANSFERRING THE KEYSTONE HOTEL. The report for some cause or other was extensively circulated along the stroll last week to the effect that the ever popular mine host, David McGowan, proprietor of the Keystone Hotel, 3022 State street, would on July 1 dispose of it to L. J. Slaughter, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Mr. McGowan states in the most positive language that he is not figuring on selling nor transferring his interest in the Keystone to any one; that he has a lease on the building which has several years to run yet; that since taking possession of it shortly after the first of the present year he has greatly improved the interior of it, putting it in a sanitary condition; that it has and is doing a flourishing business, and that he is perfectly satisfied to continue to do business at the same old stand.

Shallow wells in lyse proximity to out-door tollets are also dangerous. ‘Most of the small lakes at summer resorts are polluted by surface drainage and seepage from privy vaults, and in this way the water from shallow wells near such lakes is dangerous and should not be used unless boiled or treated chemically to make it safe.

Then pour into a suitable receptacle and dilute with three cupfals of water. A single teaspoonful of this dilution will purify two gallons of water. This will give between four and five parts of free ¢blorin to a million parts of water and will destroy in ten minutes all typhoid, cholera or any of the dysentery germs. ‘The water thus treated will be free from taste or odor and if put into clean stoppered bottles, and stored in clean stoppered bottles, can be kept always ready for use.

The Prentiss Institute is fashioned after Hampton and Tuskegee, giving a good English course and a knowledge of the trades.

Nashville, Tenn.—Announcement has been made of the social science courses to be offered next year, at Fisk university, in this city, and of the plan of the university to co-operate with the Woman's council of the Methodist Episcopal Church South and the Methodist Training school here in developing a social settlement in one of the neighborhoods of this city among Afro-Americans. Dr. George E. Haynes, professor of social science at Fisk, says that this arrangement of co-operation will give a new impetus and a great outlet for the intense interest of the students in the conditions among the people of the city and will offer them an opportunity to get acquainted with the people and to learn by practice what college education can do to help the masses. He says it will also be a great help in articulating the university with the pulsating practical life of the people and enable it to better train its students for leadership and service. The department offers an introductory course in economics in the junior year for three hours per week and an advanced course in economics in the senior year, two hours per week. In sociology three hours per week will be given to class work and four hours per week to field investigation and practical work. One of the most interesting features of the department for next year consists of a course in Negro history for the juniors and a course on the Negro problem for the seniors. The history course traces the growth of American democracy in its relation to slavery and the Negro American. It aims to give the student a historical background for his thinking about present day conditions. The course on the Negro problem is offered to members of the senior class and is a careful study of present conditions in both the country and the city. In this course use is made of all available material on the subject, and in addition to the general class work each student is given some particular topic relating to the economic, educational, social or religious conditions among Negroes for special investigation and report. The course aims to teach the student how to study conditions among Negroes in an accurate way and with a broad humanitarian point of view. MANNING MAKES KNOWN HIS MISSION IN NORTH. Former Alabama Lawmaker Tires of Unchecked Political Injustice. Camden, N. J.-Much interest is being taken here in the work of the Hon. Joseph C. Manning, former member of the Alabama legislature. Having served as postmaster in one of the important towns in his state and having had several years of experience as an editor and lecturer. Mr. Manning has a mass of first hand information concerning conditions in the south as they relate to the well being of Afro-Americans. In political affairs Mr. Manning is an adept. He has given many years of hard work in an effort to break down the discrimination which exists against the colored citizens of the south with respect to the ballot. His efforts have been sincere, and he has accomplished much good. He has familiarized himself with every phase of the political, social, and educational work of his section and is regarded as an authority upon the south and its treatment of Afro-Americans in respect to their civil and political rights. He gives the south due credit when it is in the right and condemns it when it is in the wrong. Mr. Manning says that his purpose in the north is to acquaint the northern people with the facts as to the present political conditions in the south. It is his intention to engage in a thorough discussion of the suffrage question as it affects the whole people. In 1894 Mr. Manning was at the head of a movement which resulted in some forty Democratic congressmen losing their seats in the national house of representatives in 1896. The unseating of those forty congressmen caused a situation to arise which had to be met in the open. The recently devised disfranchisement laws resorted to by the Democrats were not enacted to get rid of the colored voter, but to aid the cause of minority government in the south through the elimination of sufficient white as well as colored voters to cause the opposition to become a minority party. Mr. Manning said that of 200,000 blacks of voting age in Alabama but 3,000 of that number were permitted to register and vote. "The effect of this system on elections in twelve southern states may be perceived when we realize that the entire delegation in congress from the south was elected on 900,000 votes." Mr. Manning said, "whereas there are 6,000,000 males of voting age in these states and 4,000,000 of them white." New Book by Dr. Algernon B. Jackson One of the latest tracts on medical treatment is an interesting and instructive pamphlet recently written and published by Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, surgeon in chief of Mercy hospital, Philadelphia. The little book is being given, general circulation by leading physicians. Dr. Jackson is well, known for his scholarly, atta- mments and general interest in mov- ements for the good of the public along all lines. DAMES AND DAUGHTERS. Mrs. Ann Pouder of Baltimore is in good health at 100 years of age. Mrs. Martha L. Lacey, eighty-two, of Cleveland, is applying for a pension as a war nurse. Once she was wealthy. The ice cream freezer was invented by Mrs. Nancy M. Johnson. The science of anstomy is indebted to Mme. Condray for the manikin, while Jeanette Powers is the author of the aquarium. Miss Constance Smith, who during thirty-eight years has been superintendent of an English postoffice savings bank and has probably done more than any other woman in England to disabuse English people of the idea that women are incapable of performing responsible clerical duties, has just retired from her office. Mrs. Anna Powless, with the unique distinction of being graduated from the University of Colorado on the twenty-fifth anniversary of her wedding, started her college career at the age of forty. In four and one-half years she has completed her A. B. work, has made up fifteen hours of high school conditions and has added fifteen additional college hours that will be counted toward an A. M. degree. Education Notes. Louisville, Ky., has established an open air school. Four thousand teachers in Massachusetts, where the pay is higher than in most states, receive salaries ranging from $5.77 to $10 a week. The Spanish-American athenaeum of Washington is seeking to make Spanish a required subject for entrance to college, on a par with French and German. Parents who keep their children at home to help in the housework and with the family washing have been warned by the Milwaukee authorities that these will not be considered valid excuses for keeping children out of school. The truant authorities have been ordered to be on the lookout for all such cases. Current Comment. It seems about time for social leaders to rise in their might and demand an eight hour night.—Philadelphia Inquirer. People with tainted money in their possession need not throw it away. The "money laundry" at Washington is now being operated with four big new machines.—Chicago Record-Herald.

In nine years the Carnegie hero fund has rewarded 723 heroes in the United States and Canada. Generally speaking, aside from otter, fur is as plentiful in the Yukon today as it has ever been. A vessel was recently launched in the Puget sound with steam up, ready to proceed on her way. The White House clothes drying yard is on the south lawn. Inclosed by a high fence screened with shrubbery, it is invisible from most points of view. Teasing the Girls. A woman can do anything with a hairpin except make it stay in her hair.—Albany Journal. A St. Louis judge rules that a divorced woman is not a widow. At least she usually isn't very long.—Cleveland Leader. A Washington preacher says young men calling on Sunday evening should be led to church. Just give the girls time and they'll see to that.—Washington Post. Fashion Frills. Some of the shirt waists the women are wearing on the streets these days look as though they might furnish some fine ragtime music if run through the player piano. -Newark News.

Southern Italy, including Sicily, dominates the lemon markets of the world. California is the only rival Italy has in the business. The Gray Buzzard The gray buzzard is said to be the heaviest bird that files, the young males when food is plentiful weighing nearly forty pounds. The bird is almost extinct. Realistic Paintings When Vereschchagin, the Russian painter, had an exhibition at Berlin of his realistic scenes from the campaign of 1877 the old kaiser forbade his soldiers to go and see them on the ground that they would inspire a horror of war. Bans on Golf On several occasions in British history the authorities have had to issue edicts against golf, because its attractions kept men from joining branches of the military service. Absentminded Wooing: Sir Isaac Newton once went wooing and began to smoke and, in absence of mind, attempted to use the forefinger of the lady as a pipe stopper. This unfortunate act brought his courtship to an abrupt termination, and he never had another. The Turkey. The turkey is a native of North America and was introduced into Europe by one of the lieutenants of Sebastian Cabot. An Early Panama Surve In 1527 and 1528 Senor de la Serna made a survey of the Isthmus of Panama, having in mind a canal, and records extant in Madrid show that the work was done pretty thoroughly. At that time Charles V. was emperor, but he gave this scheme but little attention. They Liked Thirteen. Thirteen was the sacred number of the Mexicans and the ancient people of Yucatan. Their week had thirteen days, and they had thirteen snake gods. British Gold The British empire supplies about 60 per cent of the world's gold. Breathing. Every time we breathe 100 muscles are employed. 40 per cent of the muscles of the body being active in wonderful co-operation in this single act. A City Submerged. Ruins of an ancient city have been found beneath the Aquean sea, east of the island of Lemos, near the Turkish coast, by Greeks who were carrying out marine observations. The ruins lie on the reef marked on the charts of the British admiralty as Pharos bank, at a depth ranging from five to twenty-five meters, and prove the town to have been at least three miles in circumference. Freckles. There is no perfect preventive for freckles, although they can be partially prevented by using a cream and then a good face powder before being exposed to the sun. Cold Can't Kill Them Investigators have taken such cold blooded animals as frogs, toads, snakes and some fish and put them in jars with liquid air at a temperature of minus 300 F. The animals freeze immediately and are left in this state for months. Then they are taken out, and life is restored by massage. Digestion. Digestion proceeds more rapidly in men while in a recumbent position than when erect, according to a French scientist. Antisepitic Ointment. A good antiseptic ointment is composed of vaseline with 10 per cent of boric acid. A saturated solution of boric acid-i. e., as much of the acid as the water will take up—is also good. When the surface is not irritated soap and water is a splendid antiseptic. Grim Humor. A human skull displayed in a shop window in a street close to the Edinburgh infirmary bears in rather grim Scottish humor the legend, "Secondhand, owner having no further use." Dr. Johnson's Sarcasm. Dr. Johnson was in the company of a gentleman who affected to maintain Dean Berkeley's strange position, "that nothing exists but as perceived, by some mind." When the gentleman was going away Dr. Johnson said to him, "Pray, sir, don't leave us, for we may perhaps forget to think of you, and then you will cease to exist." Renetrating Colors Even under the most favorable conditions white, yellow, green and red are the only colored lights which can be projected more than three miles through lenses. Athletic Englishwomen. "One of the most striking of recent changes in the character of Englishwomen," says the Queen of London, "is their attitude, toward outdoor sports. Hunting (on horseback or afoot), fishing (on the deep sea or by the plisci stream), shooting (whether wild animals in Africa or ground game at home), walking, cycling, driving, motoring, playing games-in short, practically every form of open air sport is now enjoyed by women on equal terms with men." --- "A man can't be too careful nowadays," said the boob. "A fellow kicked a piece of wood off the sidewalk yesterday, and they arrested him." "What was he arrested for?" asked the old fogy. "Disturbing the boo," replied the boob. "That's nothing." horned in the cheerful idiot. "A man saw a counterfeit dollar on the street this morning, and he wouldn't pick it up, and they arrested him." "But why did they arrest him?" demanded the old fogy. "For passing bad money," said the cheerful idiot. "Cincinnati Enquirer. The Deathless Subject You show us our pathway each morn. You may run out of subjecta, but always The dragons may vanish, all slain by your hand. Men's sins may prove vanishing, leaving no chance For the critical work you admire, But you'll find this one subject as sharp You can always roast women's attire. —Denver Republican. Internal Evidence At a certain college, it was the custom to have the students write the following pledge at the bottom of their examination papers: "I hereby certify on my honor that I have neither given nor received aid during this examination." Soon after handing in his paper a young fellow hurriedly entered the classroom and said, "Professor, I forgot to put the pledge on my paper." "Altogether unnecessary," replied the teacher. "I have just finished looking over your paper, and I feel sure you neither gave nor received aid."—Lippincott's. Castin'. My mind, seach as it is, ain't nowise plural.

William, who was visiting his uncle near Greenwood avenue, spent one Sunday afternoon admiring the beautiful walls and scenic views in Mill Creek park. "Well, laddie," queried his uncle when the boy returned to the house, "what did you see in the park?" "Some of the most beautiful vistas I ever saw," replied William. "Ah, laddie," cautioned the old gentleman, "but ye musta' pluck them. It's against the rules." Youngstown Telegram. Rapture. He held her hand and pressed it oft.

Clark, son of Speaker Champ Clark, is the house parliamentarian. The position, which carries a salary of $4,000 a year, makes him adviser to his father on all disputed points of order. He is a graduate of the University of Missouri. Sir Joseph Lyons, England's largest caterer, went into the business years ago in a small way to furnish clean, cheap lunches to clerks. That laid the foundation stone of an industry which on every working day in the year cater to 500,000 men, women and children. In the business with its 250 branches there are nearly 16,000 employees. William Lyman Phillips, a graduate of Harvard in the class of 1908, has been appointed by Colonel Goethals, chief engineer of the Panama canal, to be landscape architect and first assistant in a municipal department in the canal zone, his special duty being to plan and supervise the building of the town of Balbao, the Pacific entrance to the canal.

Private electricians and plumbers of Hamburg, Germany, are never allowed to tear up the streets for the purpose of making gas or electric light connections. The recently ordered special armament tax in Germany is responsible for the creation of a bureau which bears this title: "Reichsheererrustungsleiferungsprufungskommission." Town Topics New York is looking for a motto. What's the matter with her present one. "Do others before they do you?"—Boston Transcript. Mayor Blankenburg's discovery that Philadelphia is waking up is not nearly so startling as some of the things Philadelphia will find out when it gets its eyes fully open.—Indianapolis News, Muncie, ind., has shown a spirit of true chivalry toward its fettered feminine fashionables. The car steps in that gallant city have been lowered to accommodate the wearers of tight skirts—Exchange. Lipton and the Cup. If Lipton cannot lift the cap he at least manages to keep us from forgetting that such a trophy exists—Philadelphia Record. We congratulate Sir Thomas on getting a race. There’s no better sportsman than this yachting Irish baronet. We hope to beat him again—Chicago Inter Ocean. Americans will rejoice that the New York Yacht club has met Sir Thomas Lipton half way, and that he is to be given another opportunity to test our yachting supremacy.—Baltimore Sun. Wireless Whispers. The island of Juan Fernandez, made famous by the story of Robinson Crusoe, is being given a wireless station.

It has no steeple, but it has two chimneys, and it is thatched with straw. The date of its construction is lost in the mists of antiquity. Nelson's Flagship. The oldest warship in the world is probably the Victory, Lord Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar, which is still afloat at Portsmouth, England. She was launched in 1767. Each boy scout now is hunting, With love for the game immense, That good old fashioned knotholt. That grows in the baseball fence. -Judge. First Lieutenant—As we were going over the river on the plank bridge it gave way, and the men fell in. Second Lieutenant—What did you do? First Lieutenant—I ordered them to fall out, of course—St. Paul Pioneer Press. He roamed half the world of woe, Where toll and labor never cease, Then dropped one little span below In search of peace. And now to him mild beams and show- "I had a tough time delivering the mail yesterday," declared the postman. "How was that?" "Had a bulldog and a chunk of liver in the same delivery."—Louisville Courier-Journal. It's easy enough to look pleasant When everything runs along fine.

O Phoebe's flowrs that, faithful, freest The burning sun—and say O anything you like, but don't O more than you can pay! Needed a Witness. The lovely but wealthy girl was so surprised at the declaration of love and offer of marriage from the impacuous but nervy young man that she could think of no more sulphitic reply than the recently shelfworn: "I—I'll be a sister to you!" "Thank you," answered the suitor promptly. "Will you repeat that before witnesses?" "Why?" "Never mind why. You say you will be a sister to me. If there is no other witness in the house summon your father, I demand it. In fact, I should prefer to have him hear it." Papa was summoned, and the young man continued: "I proposed for your daughter's hand. She refused me. But she promised to be a sister to me. I am now a member of the family. Leave me out of your will at your pell. Good night!" Later, he became a member of the Later he became a member of the firm—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
