Dr A. J. Carey and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, for on Monday evening a good Government Citizens' Public mass meeting was held at the Olivet Baptist Church, it was attended by more than five hundred men and women, the Rev. R. L. Darden, Pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church was the able and eloquent chairman of the meeting and after speeches had been made by Rev. E. J. Fisher, J. T. McLemore, W. H. Smith, L. W. Washington, Mort Shoecraft and Julius P. Tavier, in relation to the race of the Rev. E. J. Fisher for the Legislature of Illinois from the 1st senatorial district, B. W. Pitts who is a tax payer and he is also successfully engaged in the printing business at 3315 South State street, who is a manly man and no man's slave read the following resolutions and moved their adoption and they were adopted by the five hundred people present without a dissenting voice, to wit: The Resolutions 1. Whereas the Illinois State Legislature appropriated June 19, 1913, $25,000.00 to the Afro-Americans in the State of Illinois to give an exposition in the year 1915 celebrating the 50 years of freedom and nothing has been done in one year with the present expenditure of nearly $8,000.00 to warrant the public or the Negroes to support the said proposed exposition and, 2. Whereas Governor Edward F. Dunne has appointed on the State Commission Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey and T. W. Swann, who have caused the excessive expenditure of this money appropriated, that the said Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey and T. W. Swann do not represent the wishes and best interests of the Colored people of the State of Illinois and further are not qualified to hold their present positions on the Illinois State Commission, and further the said T. W. Swann and Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey, so we have been informed, insulted Bishop Samuel Fallows, President of the State Commission, a man who has devoted his life's best interest in behalf of the Negroes of this Country. Therefore, be it resolved that we petition His Excellency Governor Edward F. Dunne to re-organize the Illinois --- State Commission and remove therefrom Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey and Thos. Wallace Swann. To curtail the amount expended in wages for help and all other unnecessary expenses, to allow no personal solicitation of funds from the public and that all money subscribed to be forwarded to some National Banking Institution and that there will be account kept thereof for their credit, subject to the vote of the Commission or their official representative. Committee. Rev. R. L. Darden, Pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church, Chairman; B. W. Fitts, Secretary; J. T. McLemore; W. H. Smith, Frank L. Gale, J. N. Blackshear, L. W. Washington, Rev. W. H. Dorsey. For some cause or other Col. Beauregard F. Moseley, failed to show up at the meeting and Teenan Jones one of the head lights of the far famed Elite Cafe, 3030 South State street, claims that Col. Archibald Napoleon Fields has been busily engaged this week in circulating the report around town that Col. Moseley has joined hands with the opposition forces, that on last Sunday afternoon he was observed hobnobbing with Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann. The latter part of August, 1913, the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D. revived his Old Church Organ, the Chicago Conservator for two issues or just long enough to rake in five hundred to one thousand dollars in real easy money for state printing; it is reported, although it may not be true that he will not attempt that risky feat this year, that Governor Edward F. Dunne will this year or very shortly turn over five hundred to one thousand dollars of state printing to Col. S. B. Turner who is on Chief Justice Harry Olson's "black list" for the first part of this year Chief Justice Olson issued orders which were published in the Chicago Tribune against permitting Col. Turner to sign any more bonds in the Municipal Courts. If our memory serves us correctly several years ago Col. Turner was yanked into the federal courts in this city charged with attempting to sell or make his "get away" with $40,000 to $50,000 worth of notes belonging to CHICAGO, JULY 18, 1914 the Ford Manufacturing Co.; that the money to be derived from the state printing, it is claimed will be split three ways—that is one part to Col. Turner, in order to pay him for boosting the Hon. Edward F. Dunne through the columns of his no Idea; one part to the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D. and one part to the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann. Wednesday evening between half past seven and eight o'clock while we were sitting on the back porch resting up after sprinkling the grass and the beautiful growing flowers, feeling at peace with this grand old world and with all the sons and daughters of humanity, the door bell rang very loud and our good wife Mrs. Taylor answered it and in a few moments she informed us that four Colored gentlemen were in the front parlor waiting to see us, on rushing into it we ran right into them, pleasant greetings on our part were exchanged with them, then we very softly exclaimed "gentlemen what can I do for you all" then there was silence for a few minutes and finally one of them like an ignorant bully blustered out that they were four of the Trustees representing the Institutional Church, so we requested them to excuse us for two minutes until we could get some writing paper and a pencil on returning to the front part of our home we began to ask each one his name and reduce it to paper, one of them refused at first to give his name and we very promptly ordered him to snatch his hat and beat it from the building, when he observed that we meant business, that our eagle eyes were rivited upon him he very reluctantly gave his name as M. L. Benson, the others claimed that they had always had the names of Thomas H. Crump, D. Horton and F. H. Wyche, then after securing their names we requested them to talk, quick and right to the point that our time was valuable to us as we were just steaming up and getting good and ready to do some more hot writing in relation to brothers Carey and Swann. That remark on our part was like shaking a red rag in the face of a mad bull, and at that point the Hon. Mr. Crump woke up and said "Mr. Taylor a stormy meeting was held at the Institutional Church. Tuesday even- ing, that after much bitterness had been displayed on all sides its members finally decided to stand by Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey that the Institutional Church was able to settle its own troubles without any assistance from you! that at the meeting on Tuesday evening they had been selected as the four Trustees to call on us and demand that from thenceforth that the name of the Institutional Church and the name of its pastor the Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey must not be mentioned in the columns of The Broad Ax; that in case their advice was disregarded in that direction in the future that our life would be in danger; that a number of the women members belonging to the Institutional Church wanted to call on us instead of the four men Trustees of the church; that they the women members were so excited that they would have been ready and willing to have scratched or clawed our eyes out and ended our life and sent us on into the next world with all of our imperfections resting on our head." The Hon. Mr. Crump and his associates at that point in the running conversation were very plainly informed by us to the effect that if any of the women members of the Institutional Church ever attempted to disturb the peace and quietude of our humble and pleasant home that we would call up the 50th street police station and give them a free ride in the patrol wagon, he exclaimed that "the women would not mind that that they were willing to lay down their so-called religion and risk losing their lives and everything else for the sake of Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey or words to the same effect. Feeling that we could not waste any more of our valuable time on those four saints of the Lord who claimed that they were calling on us in the interest of what they called God like peace and harmony, we attempted to interrupt the Hon. Mr. Crump who was the main-spokesman for his Lord and master the Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey, and in a bulldozing manner he commanded us not to open our mouth until he had finished talking and fearing that he would continue to talk all night long, we very firmly said "Let me tell you one thing and that is" I want you gentlemen without further delay to snatch your hats and withdraw from our presence and with the devil's fighting blood in their saintly eyes they wended their way down the steps out into the street, the Hon. Mr. Crump shouting back to us in a loud voice that "your life will be in danger if you continue to mention the name of the Institutional Church and Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey in the columns of The Broad Ax." It may not be improper to state at this time that as one of the taxpayers of this city, county and the great state of Illinois, that for the past year we have assisted to pay the Institutional Church four or five hundred dollars in rent for the headquarters of the Illinois State Commission, that we have assisted to pay the expenses or the money which finds its way into the pockets of Rev. A. J. Carey, as one of the State Commissioners, that as a taxpayer, we have assisted to pay his salary of $110 per month, as a member of the Moving Picture Censorship Board, that as one of the taxpayers, some of our money has been expended, to pay Irish HON. JOHN E. OWENS. The peoples candidate for re-nomination and re-election as Judge of the County Court who will receive the solid support of thousands of the most progressive Afro-Americans throughout Cook County. The peoples candidate for re-nomination and re-election as Judge of the County Court who will receive the solid support of thousands of the most progressive Afro-Americans throughout Cook County. Miss Annabel Carey, one of his daughters, $50 to $75 per month, as assistant secretary of the Illinois State Commission, while at the same time, she has been attending the Chicago University and all of the people who own property throughout the State of Illinois, have been doubly taxed to support her, lastly that as one of the taxpayers we have assisted to pay Madison Davis Carey, son of Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey $4.00 per day, while he was engaged in working in the County Treasurers office of Cook County, although he is not of age, nor a voter. In view of all of the above undisputed facts, and in view of the further fact, that our taxes for 1913 was increased $12 over 1912 in order to help to support the Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey—his family and the Institutional Church, we feel that we have the moral right to have something to say, in that respect through the columns of The Broad Ax. Let it be remembered once and for all time to come that we entertain no personal ill-feeling against any person on the face of the broad earth, that cowards die many times before their deaths, that the valiant never tastes of death but once that: "They are slaves who fear to speak For the fallen and the weak: They are slaves who will not choose, Hatred scouting and abuse, Rather than in silence shrink, From the truth they needs must think Good Gov- et Baptist a Dissent- xcellency, the Illinois Dr. A. J. n and re-election as Judge of the County support of thousands of the most progres- ook County. They are slaves who dare not be In the right with two or three." BEAT COL. FRANK B. WARING TO IT. It was exclusively announced, in The Broad Ax, last Saturday, that Mrs. Frank B. Waring, 4529 Vineennes avenue, was conveyed to St. Lake's Hospital on Thursday morning, where she was to undergo an operation by Dr. Daniel H. Williams, at 5 o'clock on Saturday evening we received a card from Col. Waring requesting us to mention that fact in this week. But we had beat him to it. COL. WILLIAM R. COWAN IS IN THE SADDLE. The Executive Committee of the Citizens Political Equality League met Monday night. Mr. Henry Sherman Goins who had been endorsed for County Commissioner at a previous meeting declined to run, but nominated Mr. W. R. Cowan who was unanimously endorsed. At the next meeting of the League Senatorial Committeemen from the 1st and 3rd districts will be named. Col. Franklin A. Denison, Republican candidate for county commissioner, left Wednesday evening for Springfield, Ill., in connection with the construction of the 8th Regiment Armory. No.43 一 PUBLISHED WEEKLY.

A high infant death rate is no longer regarded as a wise dispensation of Providence, but rather as an evident manifestation of human ignorance and neglect. ‘The properly conducted simmer re- sort is a place where you go to rest and regain health and strength and not to contract typhoid fever and come home to a sick bed and dangerous spell of illness, According to Holy Writ, Moses con- ducted the first big and successful cam- paign against flies. The Book of Ex- odus tells us that ‘he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh and from his servants and there remained not one. For the mother who is nursing her baby these suggestions are of value: The baby should have its nourishment at regular intervals. For the first year nurse as follows: For the first three weeks, every two hours; for the next six weeks, every 2% hours; until six months old, every 3 hours, and the same until one year of age. From the age of six weeks to six months, one nursing at night and for the first three weeks and after six months, omit the night OS ice cs ue A writer in the ‘‘Forecast’” insists this, when a girl has learned to hem a dish cloth, mend a knitted garment, know three distinct cries of a baby and what each means, make ten stand- ard soups, sleep with open windows, re- frain from excessive eating of candy and sweets, take out of door exercise every day, plan and prepare a whole- some palatable meal, she has laid the foundation for a splendid home maker. No doubt about it; but now, what should the boy have to learn before he would be started right on the road of home making to be a worthy mate of the girl who has met the requirements of the Forecast writer? Legislation dealing with tuberculosis has been enacted in 48 states and terri- tories of the United States, according to a comprehensive bulletin on this subject, soon to be published by The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Only in the states of Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming and Alaska, has the subject been given no legislative consideration. Also, sanitariums for the cure of con- sumption have been established in 33 different states, while in 34 of the com- monwealths of the Union, there are laws providing for the reporting and registration of all living eases. Six states, Illinois, Iowa, Misouri, Minne- sota, New York and Texas, have laws Which give the people the privilege of voting at general or special elections on the establishment of county or mu- ehusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Wis- consin and Washington grant subsidies ranging from $3.00 to $5.00 per week to such local hospitals. Laws prohibiting spitting in public places have been en- acted in more than 20 states. These are facts which show that progreag along right lines is being made in the nation wide fight against this dread di- sease. M. 7. BAILEY ENTERS THE REAL _ ESTATE AND COLLECTION BusI- Ess. M. T.

LEGISLATION ON TUBERCULOSIS 48 states have laws of different kinds Legislation dealing with tuberculosis has been enacted in 48 states and terri- tories of the United States, according to s comprehensive bulletin on this subject soon to be published by The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Only in the states of Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Wy- oming and Alaska, has the subject been given no legislative consideration. State tuberculosis senatoria to the number of 42 have been established in 33 different states. Special laws pro- viding for the establishment of local hospitals by municipalities or counties have been passed in 14 states. In 34 states, laws are in force providing for the reporting and registration of living cases of tuberculosis. In four states, New York, New Jersey, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, special laws have been én- acted giving state and local health authorities power to remove and detain tuberculous persons who menace the health of their families or associates. Six states, Ilinois, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, New York and Texas, have laws which give the people the privilege of voting at general or special elections on the establishment of county or mu- nicipal tuberculosis hospitals. Massa- chusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Wis- consin, and Washington grant subsidies ranging from $3.00 to $5.00 per week to such local hospitals. Laws probibit- ing spitting in public places have been enacted in more than 20 states. Commenting on the problem of state legislation as it affects the prevention of tuberculosis. The National Associa- tion for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis says, ‘‘A law providing for the reporting and registration of every living ease of tuberculosis is fun- damental to any thoroughgoing cam- paign against this disease. Without a knowledge of the location of every case of tuberculosis, the disease cannot be controlled. Of equal importance also is legislation which will give cities, towns, and counties the authority to establish and maintain local hospitals for tuberculosis cases. The control of tuberculosis is a local problem. Every- thing possible should be done to provide institutions easy of access, especially for advanced cases.’’ ‘THE FORTHCOMING BAZAAR. Considerable mystery surrounds the bazaar which the young people of the city are planning to give for the bene- fit of the vigilance offices of the Na- tional Association for the Advancement ‘of Colored People. Some eighteen or- ganizations have already joined the movement and it is rumored that the roll will swell to twenty-five. But where it is to be given and by whom— these are still secrets whieh are being jealously guarded from the public. Not even the chairman of the press bureau, it is said, is permitted to know the in- side facts. However a reporter succeeded in finding out a little bit about the bazaar, yesterday, just before sliding to press. He discovered that the bazaar will be held on August 14 and 15 somewhere in the vicinity of Prairie avenue and somewhere along in the Thirty-odds. Various committees have been ap- pointed and their chairman met at the Provident Hospital on Thursday night to talk over the program whieh prom- ises to be cne of the most elaborate ever pulled off in Chicago. One man was cornered just as he was dodging into the hospital and he was pressed for information—pressed against the brick wall for it. ‘‘Help, help’ he said, ‘‘what do you want to know?’? “What about this bazaar??? we said, «What is the truth about it?” ‘The young man straightened up and replied: “Tt will be the first bazaar,’’ he replied, ‘‘in your experience or mine which gave you your money’s worth and then some. It will be the first bazaar which treated you ‘as though it wanted you to come again. It is the first bazaar you ever went to that was built ‘on honor;’ which gave you all it promised to give you and handed you all your money back as you went out the door.’” ‘*Impossible”’ we exclaimed. “*Well,’? said the young man mys- teriously, ‘‘you wait and seé.’? | “PLUMS"’ CONTINUE TO DROP. As has been said before, the Negrc may not be getting many of the big things that drop from the federal table, but he is picking up day by day a goodly number -of the smaller “«plams’? that Dame Fortune passes ‘over his way through meritorious service and ability to master the erx- ‘aminations required. Last week Mr. John W. White, of the office of Sec: retary of War was promoted from as- sistant messenger at $720 to clerk at $1,000 per annum. Mr. Julius A. Ross, an efficient clerk in the office of the Anditor for the War Department, bas been made an examiner, a distinction attained by few members of the race fm the executive departments. The race throughout the country will be gisd to hear of happenings like these, whieh indicate that the Negro is not ‘all in, and down and out.’’—Richard W. Thompson, in the Freeman, Indian apolis, Ind. July 11, 1914. The above statement is conclusive proof that the so-called greatest weekly newspaper in the world which is published in this city handed out a raw fake story when it stated in its columns a short time age that all the Colored men and womer working for the United States Govern. ment at Washington, D. C, would be discharged on the 4th day of July, 1914 THE STROLL NEWS By Rosa Lee Tyler. Owing to the pleasantness of the cool breezes these evenings, the stroll is alive with guy humanity, and on State street between Thirty-first and Thirty- seventh may be seen numbers of the fair sex accompanied by their swains promenading in their glad rags, looking jgood and after taking in the theatres they sojourn to the ‘‘ Palms’? iee cream parlor at 3313 State street, where Madame Tyler has arranged for their ‘comfort and serves the best in the city from Collins Brothers Ice Cream manu- facturing establishment. The offerings at the amusement houses are very en- tertaining this week. Manager Klein who always strive to please his many patrons, has a well balanced bill at the New Monogram. Opening the show is Mr. William Hopkins a violinist who must have been in great demand in the stone age, though even now his playing of the turkey and the straw, hornpipe and other dance music of the barn vari- ety, is very interesting. Following is Johnson & Britton, whose singing and jokes are good with dancing hard to beat. Esther Miller a dramatic soprano is good but could be improved with study, she should be en- couraged. Thompson & Cross can al- ways be relied upon to close a show in good fashion, as they get their offerings over to the audience as only good per- formers can. After the show perform- ers, patrons, and friends all visit the **Palms’’ for refreshing drinks, sundaes and ice cold watermelons. Tuesday night Mrs. 8. H. Dudley from Louisville, called, Dora Dean, Johnson & Wells, Kid Cole, Davis & Walker, and Mrs, Franklin and Mrs. Minor also called, Miss Dolly Stewart is the able assistant to the Madame in waiting on the guests. At the old Monogram the offering is a trifle stronger from an artistic standpoint, the Wilson trio opens the Dill and is very good. Bert Murphy of ‘Murphy and Francis a big time act is also killing time and getting the where withall. Miss Lueretia Knox is singing the ‘‘ Angelus is ringing’? in good voice, and her rendition of the ‘‘Sextette from Lucia de Lammamoor”’ arranged in solo form is very good. Tim & Hester Moore closes the bill with well placed comedy and songs. Prof. Jenk- ins who made many friends when he controlled the lines at the rear end of the New Monogram, has been promoted and may now be seen at the wheel in ‘the front end of the Old Mouogram. Montgomery & McLain are playing a return engagement at the Grand, The 12th Regiment Band has erected ‘4 dancing pavilion on State street op- posite the ‘‘Palms’’ ice cream parlor, thus adding to the numerous amuse- ment places on the Stroll. Strollers will not be at a loss where to spend the summer evenings, because if they so desire they may go to a theatre, then to the pavilion for a whirl and finish with cool and refreshing sodas and sundaes to say nothing of w—m——s at the “Palms.’? HYDE PARK NEWS By 1. W. Washington. ‘Mrs. Julia Kemp, the very dea mother of Mr. 8. D. Kemp is here visit. ing Mrs. 8. D. Kemp and her son and is having delightful time, she will re- main during the month of August, and return to her native State Alabama. Wo are pleased to note the very great interest, our young women are taking im their children, Mrs. Nina Parris of Kenwood Ave. is not only the proud mother of a fine bouncing baby, but she is happy in its presence. A race ‘that produce such mothers can never die. eee Mrs, Eva Raymore and daughter Noima, of 5626 Lake Park Ave., will spend a few weeks in Michigan, visit- ing their friend, Mrs. Allen, who is affiliated with her on the Deaconess Board at Bethel Chureh, of this City. ‘Mrs. Allen has purchased a beautiful home in Michigan, and extends the hos- pitality to her friend. ‘Mrs. Pearl Cavel, the wife of Mr. Robert Cavel who lives at 5216 Lake Park Ave. is the happy mother of s 12 Ih, baby girl, she has several chil- dren, and is proud of them. The Broad Ax wishes for the girl as well as the family a long life and a prosper- ous one. At a late hour Saturday night the writer learned of s mass meeting to be held at the Hyde Park A. M. E. Chureh, not knowing what the purpose of the call he felt it his duty to attend. After being there for a few minutes he soon found out the meaning of it all, Mr. S. Laing Williams was to address the meeting. As a representative of the N. P. A. of America, who expects to prosecute ‘Theatrical segregation in Hyde Park until, the managers learn that the public, means the whole peo- ple, and nothing less nor more. Mr. Fred Mauney of the Chicago Beach Hotel was master of ceremonies. Prot. Buckner also of the Beach played a very fine piano selection; J. Leg Bach Oberon Op. after Mr. Williams address, ‘a general discussion of the topic was held by those present. Quite a number of membership blanks were given out. Quite a number of our young men out here, in Hyde Park, are talking yet, about the very nice time the young ladies gave them at the Episcopal pie- nic, July 14th, at Glenwood Park near Batavia, Ill. You will be remembered jin their diary, to be sure. Felchenfield’s grocery was robbed of $1,300, congratulations is certainly due the Hyde Park police department, for their alertness in their quick capture of the Trio, who committed the crime. It relieved the community of any ap- prebensions it might have as to whether they were, Black or White. So thanks to the officer who did his duty so well, that the firm received no less and the good name of Hyde Park was reserved. Miss Carrie Hunters is sick in the County Hospital. The Broad Ax wishes her # speedy recovery. Mr. Simmons of 5473 Kimbark Ave., the contractor is upon the sick list, hay- ing had a set back. He expects to a to # health resort, to recuperate.

PURPOSE OF THE MEETING. pes ee Yonkers, N. Y.—The Westchester Count; Nezro league recently held its annue! convention at McCann's hall in this city under auspicious circum- stances. Delegates were present from the following cities and towns in the county: Peekskill, Croton Point, Ossin- ing. Tarrytown, White Plains, Mount Vernon. Port Chester, Rye and Yon: kers. The personnel of the convention was made up of a representative class of the Negro citizens of these locall- thes. The purpose of the meeting was stated by the president, Paul H. Bray of this city In a brief address President Bray gave a resume of the work done by | > me bf a : aN ae}: | Shee ; efits Vy 3 the league during the six years of its exixteuce and urged upon the delegates the importance of putting forth great- er efforts in the future. There is great- er need for unity of action among the Nexrues today than ever before in the history of the race since the war, said Mr. Bray. Hostile forces are pressing us backward, We must check this, and there is ouly one way to do it, and that is through organization. Every loyal colored man In the coun- ty should be an active member of the Westchester Negro league, be contin- ued. It is indeed very encouraging to note that we bave enlisted in our cause before the country such eminent and influential persons as Hon. Oswald Gar- rison Villard, pablisher of the New York Evening Post; Hon. Thomas Ew- ing. Jr. who is the present United States commissioner of patents; Mrs. La Follette. wife of the Wisconsin sen- ator; Senator Moses Clapp of Minneso- ta and Senator Wesley 1 Jones of Washington Among the many important matters that commanded the attention of the convention was a plan for the organ- ization of x woman's auxiliary to the league, which was proposed und ex- pinined by Mr. Harvey of Mount Ver- on The members took up the plan with enthusiasm and onanimously adopted it Mr. Stepben A. Bennett of Yonkers offered a revolution which cited the alarming and acute conditions con- fronting the Negro in the country. It emphasized the need for a united ef- fort on the part of every Negro in Westchester county. The work being done by the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People was specially commended. ‘The officers are: Paul B. Bray, Yon kers, president; A. B.

Why not pass a law requiring the muzzling of mosquitoes? Love may be blind, but the girl's small brother sees things. Debt is a paradox. The faster we run in the more we get behind. Temporary failure makes the sweets of success all the more enjoyable. Few men get far enough up the ladder of fame to make them dizzy. No really big-man allows his head to outgrow the rest of his anatomy. The way never to accomplish anything is to take everybody's advice. On the road to success it is not every man who knows how to change cars. To err is human, and to discover the errors of the other fellow is natural. No man should complain of his wife's biscuits if he falls to provide the dough. Don't tell people that you are as good as they are; show them that you are better. Some one has said that no one ever attained his one great ambition, and we believe it. Too many people can remember names and faces much easier than they can debts. There would be a fortune in it for any inventor who could patent a device for making both ends meet. The chief trouble about the modern temptations is that they cost more than the victims are able to pay. A woman may not always be a close observer; but, on the other hand, she is always a clothes observer. Income tax disappointments recall the fact that the man who insists on being shy is a nuisance in any game. John Bull is still a trifle dazed in his political affairs, but in the field of athletics he has recovered his poise. Colonel Sellers would never be able to dispose of worthless stock if it were not for the gullibility of Colonel Buyers. When a man compliments himself on his frankness you may be sure he is getting ready to say something impudent. Any time Mexico becomes dissatisfied with the existing rule all she has to do is to open the jails and start a new party. It is hard to be original on some topics, but the futurist style of oratory offers new opportunities to public speakers. One of the great advantages of spending the evening at home is that you do not have a chance to spend anything else. A Frenchman says he can read a man's character in his hair. If the man is bald, is he therefore without character? The Denver chemist who sneezed away $25,000 worth of radium puts our old friend Cleopatra and her pearls in the discard. With aviators bumping together in the clouds, it's getting so one can't take a quiet constitutional in Germany without a parasol. A Boston man says every one should learn to be an orator. As if there were not misery and suffering enough in the world as it is. How often we hear a woman ask a man questions on a subject about which she knows more than he does, just to be pleasant. In another way of looking at it a moving picture film of the wedding would be just as good as a duly sealed marriage certificate. If more of us knew what the signals mean that are displayed in the clouds every day fewer of us would get wet when the storms break. A Berlin architect predicts an age of glass houses. Aside from the proverbial handicap, they will never be popular in very hot weather. Hearty unanimity of thought in the contemplated church unity is made manifest by the willingness of every man that the rest of the world should join his. If it is all the same to those savants, the world would prefer that they devise something that will make it immune from mosquitoes rather than from the effects of mosquito bites. Burglar in New York who carried off a 500 pound safe, found $10 only in it. An experience like this discounts all the advice about putting one's utmost energy in any enterprise if one would win success. .

When the promise of case would be pow- erless to please Or of respite from pain. There are times when the world and the heavens Might plunge in the bottomless deep And I never would fret—if they only would let Used Penny Well. "Well, my son," said a good natured father to an eight-year-old son the other night, "what have you done today that may be set down as a good deed?" "Gave a poor boy a penny," replied the hopeful. "Ah, ah, that was charity, and charity is always right. He was an orphan boy, was he?" "I didn't stop to ask," replied the son. "I gave him the money for licking a boy who upset my school bag."—Chicago News. The Drayma.

When I've been good I can't afraid To climb in bed alone at night. I go upstairs and say my prayers And never think of big black bears Nor ghosts when I've put out the light.

KILLY Prop. Automatic 72-379 Chicago, lll TEL. OAKLAND 1880, 1881, 1883 CHICA00 Necessity is often mistaken for courage. Bite off more than you can chew—and chew it. Enthusiasm is to a man what powder is to a bullet. Why not pass a law requiring the muzzling of mosquitoes? Love may be blind, but the girl's small brother sees things. Debt is a paradox. The faster we run in the more we get behind. Temporary failure makes the sweets of success all the more enjoyable. Few men get far enough up the ladder of fame to make them disy. No really big- man allows his head to outgrow the rest of his anatomy. The way never to accomplish anything is to take everybody's advice. On the road to success it is not every man who knows how to change cars. To err is human, and to discover the errors of the other fellow is natural. No man should complain of his wife's biscuits if he falls to provide the dough. Don't tell people that you are as good as they are; show them that you are better. Some one has said that no one ever attained his one great ambition, and we believe it. Too many people can remember names and faces much easier than they can debts. There would be a fortune in it for any inventor who could patent a device for making both ends meet. The chief trouble about the modern temptations is that they cost more than the victims are able to pay. A woman may not always be a close observer; but, on the other hand, she is always a clothes observer. Income tax disappointments recall the fact that the man who insists on being shy is a nuisance in any game. John Bull is still a trifle dazed in his political affairs, but in the field of athletics he has recovered his poise. Colonel Sellers would never be able to dispose of worthless stock if it were not for the gullibility of Colonel Buyers. When a man compliments himself on his frankness you may be sure he is getting ready to say something impudent. Any time Mexico becomes dissatisfied with the existing rule all she has to do is to open the jails and start a new party. It is hard to be original on some topics, but the futurist style of oratory offers new opportunities to public speakers. One of the great advantages of spending the evening at home is that you do not have a chance to spend anything else. A Frenchman says he can read a man's character in his hair. If the man is bald, is he therefore without character? The Denver chemist who sneezed away $25,000 worth of radium puts our old friend Cleopatra and her pearls in the discard. With aviators bumping together in the clouds, it's getting so one can't take a quiet constitutional in Germany without a parasol. A Boston man says every one should learn to be an orator. As if there were not misery and suffering enough in the world as it is. How often we hear a woman ask a man questions on a subject about which she knows more than he does, just to be pleasant. In another way of looking at it a moving picture film of the wedding would be just as good as a duly sealed marriage certificate. If more of us knew what the signals mean that are displayed in the clouds every day fewer of us would get wet when the storms break. A Berlin architect predicts an age of glass houses. Aside from the proverbial handicap, they will never be popular in very hot weather. Hearty unanimity of thought in the contemplated church unity is made manifest by the willingness of every man that the rest of the world should join his. If it is all the same to those savants, the world would prefer that they devise something that will make it immune from mosquitoes rather than from the effects of mosquito bites. Burglar in New York who carried off a 500 pound safe, found $10 only in it. An experience like this discounts all the advice about putting one's utmost energy in any enterprise if one would win success.
