MADDEN, THE HARD REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION CAPTAINS AT HIS BACH OSCAR OVER THE PLATE FOR The Aldermanic campaign just begun is of the utmost importance to Chicago Colored people and every member of the Race should take special interest in making the campaign a success. For more than 20 years the worthy and aspiring members of our race have been working to secure a representative colored man in the City Council. Years ago we made our claim for representation on the Cook County Commissioners Board and worked persistently for many campaigns until success crowned our efforts. We have had Colored men who rendered distinguished services on that Board and their records are a credit to our Race. We also sought representation in the State Legislature. Our claim was considered just and we have had representation in the General Assembly at every session for the past 20 years. In the present Legislature we have two representatives, Major R. B. Jackson and Honorable S. B. Turner. This is better representation than the Colored people enjoy in any State in the Union. Our representatives have made good everywhere, serving all the people faithfully, intelligently and honestly. Their success in the County services justifies us in assuring the people of our City that the Honor of representation in the Common Council will be safe-guarded by the same honest and efficient services. Along this line we have been conducting a campaign of "Watchful waiting" for a quarter of a century: Our voting strength in the Second Ward has been sufficient to warrant the nomination of a Colored candidate for Alderman, but the political situation year after year, operated to delay the contest inside of organization circles, until the present time. The opportunity seems to be at hand and it is up to us to make our campaign a success or failure. There are not enough Colored voters in the Second Ward to elect a Colored Alderman by their unaided efforts—we can win only by the earnest co-operation of our White friends. Realizing this situation and keeping faith with our party organization, we have waited patiently until we could consistently say to our party leaders—"This is the hour and here is the man—give us our seat in the Council. That time has come and not only is our demand opportune, but its justice is conceded on all sides. The Republican party organization recognizes the years of our faithful services and approves our plans, it assures us of cooperation in our campaign. Chicago Colored people never had a more urgent call for intelligent, unselfish action. The hopes, aspirations and plans of twenty-five years will win success in a few weeks, or feel the blight of abject failure. The die is in our hands. If we win, the glory is ours, if we fail we alone must bear the blame. Our White Republican HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAX voters recognizes that our loyalty to them deserves corresponding loyalty to our cause, and they say—choose your strongest candidate and we will help you elect him. Hence the importance of this campaign to choose the man, for he must be the strongest man among us. He must stand upon a record of proven intelligence, honesty and efficiency which will give no excuse for drawing the color line. He must be available, because the full party strength is necessary to win. If we present to the voters of the second ward as our candidate a man with qualifications beyond dispute supported loyally by his own race and strong in the loyalty of his party, we shall move on to certain success. Who is the man? That is the question of the campaign—that is the question which should vitally interest every Colored man and woman in our Ward. Our voice will be heard and we shall largely determine the selection of the candidate. We must throw aside personal ambition, likes and dislikes, selfish purposes real and fancied grievances, and all considerations which do not intrinsically tend to decide the question "Who is the man"—The issue is not a matter of personal preference or selfish services it is a duty demanding race loyalty, the recognition of party policy and the exercise of civic judgment. Let us not fail in our response to this call to duty. Already the Colored voters of the ward have undertaken to determine "Who is the man?" With almost unanimous voice, they have made an appeal to the Second Ward Organization of the Republican Party, to name as our candidate, the acknowledged representative of our race in the Councils of our Party—Ex County Commissioner Oscar DePriest. That appeal presented to Congressman Madden, Ward Committeeman, at a meeting of fifty of the leading Colored men of the Ward, Thursday November 19th, was so convincing as to the voice of our Colored citizens, that our Congressman gave his assurance, that so far as lay in his power he would favor the choice of Mr. DePriest as the representative of the Colored Voters on the primary ballot. The appeal presented was signed by the captains of 38 precinct of the Ward all asking that the Ward organization pledge its support to Mr. DePriest as the representative of the Colored people. In support of that appeal the following endorsements were presented. The resolutions of endorsements of the Hotel Waiter's Association which pledges its co-operation and support through Mr. W. D. Samuels their representative. 2nd. The resolutions of endorsements of Chicago Colored Barbers, presented by their representative Mr. James Nesbitt. 3rd.

Following the presentations of these endorsements and addresses of many prominent Colored leaders, Congressman Madden gave his earnest assurance of the co-operation of the Whit citizens in the movement to give place to a Colored representative in the Common Council. With support so active, efficient and enthusiastic there is every reason to believe that Mr. DePriest will be chosen to make the race for the Common Council and that the Republicans of the Second Ward will unite on him as the organization candidate to represent both White and Colored voters in the contest for Aldermanic honors in the spring. Honorable Martin B. Madden will state the attitude of the Second Ward Republican Organization on the aldermanic situation and will tell the Negroes the best way to win. MINISTERS A. M. E. CHUBCH.

THE DEMOCRATS OUT IN GRAHAM COUNTY, KANSAS, RE-ELECTED A COLORED MAN COUNTY ATTORNEY. THE PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICANS FOLLOWED SUIT AND ELECTED A COLORED MAN COUNTY ATTORNEY OF LOGAN COUNTY, KANSAS. It has just come to the light of day that the Democrats residing in Graham County, Kansas, where the White Democratic voters are ten to one, have for the second time nominated and elected Hon. W. L. Sayers, a Colored man, County Attorney, electing him by a much larger majority at the last election than he received in 1912. He is one of the ablest lawyers in the sunflower state and we are pleased to note that the party the Negro has damned for over forty years has enough of men and women in some parts of this country to recognize brain and ability above color who are brave enough to come out in the open and so declare by their votes. It seems that the Democrats in Kansas are fast awakening to the fact that the Colored people are fast tiring of being led to the altar on the strength of what Abraham Lincoln and the Republican party did 40 or 50 years ago. The Progressive Republicans, not to be outdone by the White Democrats, nominated and elected Hon. Samuel E. Carey, an Afro-American, County Attorney of Logan County, Kansas. ALPHA SUFFRAGE CLUB The Alpha Suffrage Club held its regular meeting on Wednesday evening at 3005 State St. Many were present and a great deal of important business was transacted. A great deal of interest is being manifested in the several aldermanic candidates. As the club is non-partisan it has not taken a stand for any special candidate. It sincerely hopes, however, that one will be elected to represent the Negro in the city council. Three More Days Left in Which to Secure Triple Votes on all Business. Opportunity to Secure Triple the Ordinary Number of Votes on All Business, Expires at 9 O'Clock Next Monday Night, Nov. 30---Get a Few Subscriptions or Advertisements NOW and Win the BIG Prize Vote Now or Never in This Big Contest. The contestants in The Broad Ax's big $2500.00 prize contest, have arrived at the place where a few yearly subscriptions or advertisements either mean success or defeat.

You have just three days more in which to secure triple votes on all your business. Three days to WIN or LOSE for that is just what it means to you. What are you going to do about it?

If you stop for a moment, if you fail to turn in every possible bit of business before nine o'clock Monday night then you are taking a chance of sacrificing a prize worth hundreds of dollars. Hard work now is what is required in order to win. LOOK AT THE LIST BELOW. Look at the list below and you can not help but see the opportunity existing for live ones to enter their names in the race, and by a little determination and action win any one of the big prizes, nine in number and valued at $2500.00. All that it takes is a little "get up" and you are sure to win. Start out today. NEVER TOO LATE TO ENTER There are actually fewer active candidates than there are prizes to be given away. Just think of it. Moreover, the number of votes accorded the highest candidate in the race up to date represents less than the votes on a one year subscription.

BACK TO THE OLD SCALE AFTER THIS OFFER. As soon as this short time expires and this offer ends the little old scale will come in again. Then you will get just one third as many votes as you will be able to get during this offer. Think of it a ten dollar subscription or advertisement means that you will get 45,000 votes, whereas before it would only get you 15,000 votes and after the 30th of November you will only receive 15,000. It is our aim to close the contest at the earliest possible moment, and we promise all candidates and their friends that we will not extend the time one day after December 21st, 1914, and that the prizes will all be delivered immediately when the Contest ends. It is possible that the time will be shortened but we tell you positively that it will never be extended later than the advertised date. PRIZES WILL BE THERE. All the prizes will be ready for the winners on the day the contest ends. There will be no delay in delivery. Each winner will be given immediate possession of his prize. NEW VOTE SCALE FOR TEN DAYS ONLY ENDS NOV. 30, 1914. This scale changes to old scale Dec 1. 1 year ..... $2.00 ..... 3,000 votes 2 year ..... 4.00 ..... 9,000 votes 3 year ..... 6.00 ..... 18,000 votes 4 year ..... 8.00 ..... 30,000 votes 5 year ..... 8.00 ..... 30,000 votes Votes on advertising will be issued exactly as per subscriptions. MEN'S CIVIC CLUB The Men's Civic Club passed resolutions at its last regular meeting to get in touch with the various women's clubs in order to interest them in organizing a class in domestic science in a room in the Raymond school, set aside for that purpose. Meetings held at 3005 State Street every Tuesday evening. Mrs. Carrie Warner, 5223 South Dearborn Street, has for the past week been suffering from the effect of a severe cold which almost prevented her from enjoying her Thanksgiving Day dinner.

For instance, they see the tallest toys in the world. Theres a twelve acre play- ground called “Toyland Grown Up” in the “Zone,” which is a part of the great fun section of the exposition. Little people are sure to be delighted when they see the tin soldier, for he beats anything in the toy line ever before constructed.

The ‘one at the head of the line is shepherd- xs; her followers are the lambs. One player stands apart from them and is called the wolf. He prowis stealthily around the flock, and the shepherdess ‘calls out, “Who goes round my house this dark and stormy night?’ The ‘other answers. “I am 2 wolf.” The shepberdess says, “I beg of you not to hurt my lambs.” ‘The wolf then says, “I only want one, and I mean to have this one,” and be jumps at the last player in the line.

Handsome New Models That Are Com- paratively Inexpensive. Many of the most charming new fur coats are of black pony skin, which. as now treated, has an exquisite moire surface, closely resembling the costly broadtail. Moreover, these coats are Hot at all expensive, considering thet handsome appearance and well wear ing qualities. Some are finished with collars and cuffs of ermine, the tails arranged as 2 fringe or with less cost ly white fur, velvet or plush. Other long coats and cloaks are of electric seal, musquash and mole; alsd of striped lynx and civet, though these pelts are rather too barbarous looking for the taste of most women. Scarfs are longer and broader than ever, and muffs are either huge in sise or tiny. while lovely little crossover pelerines are of mole or seal or of velvet trim- med with fur. Veane of the Aaren’Tunie. It is odd how some styles that never become popular persist for several years. There is the apron, tunic, for instance, at the present time. Two years ago we had a glimpse of a few imported lingerie models with apron tunics quite like real aprons, in the front of the skirts. ‘Cheruit’s apron tunic last year was another manifestation of the same idee. Now, there are long tulle aprons on metallic evening frocks. Sometimes these aprons are lohger than the foundation of heavy metallic silk and edged with metal fringe, mon- key for or flowers. HOW TO COOK MEATS. Saute tough meats to keep the Juices in and then stew until ten- der. Serve with thick gravy. Roasted meats have a better flavor than baked ones. The meat should be first placed near ‘the coals to sear and then drawn back to cook at lower heat. Remember that the success of frying depends upon two things —baving enough fat to complete ly cover the articles cooked in it and having the fat smoking hot. Dry or tough meats can often be made tender and of a good flavor by braising. They are shut in a close covered pot with salt pork, stock and chopped vegetables and cooked slowly tn the confived steam. ‘Meats for brofling should be cut very thin and tarned overs lear bot fire as often as one counts ten. When the puffed ap- pearance of broiled meat begins to disappear it means that the moisture is evaporating and the mest will be hard and dry. ‘When baking meats the oven Should be very bot at first, and ‘then the beat should be slowly lowered to allow the cooking to be done slowly.

Almost every girl whose body ts growing Deyond her control is so fearful of attracting attention in pub- lie that she wishes to remain as incon- spicuous as possible, and any suddeo remark addressed to her is apt to cov- er her with confusion. It 4s interesting to note how many forms shyness takes. The most easily recognized 1s, of course, that which causes the girl to blush, stammer and be at an utter loss for words when ad- Gressed by any stranger. ‘Another form, which is just as com- mon but seldom recognized, seems to oblige the girl to talk incessantly in 2 high pitched unnatural voice until the cause for embarrassment has been re- moved. This form is far more unfor- tunate than the former, for the girl is usually misjudged as extremely for- ward and boisterous, whereas her in- tense confusion is really the fault. ‘This form of shyness is almost al- ways # consequence of ridicule. One girl, who at twenty-three is Just begin- ning to recover from this habit of high- ly excited, ceaseless chatter when em- barrassed, told an intimate friend re- cently that for years she actually suf- fered when she met strangers simply because her family used to make such fun of her shyness when she was four- ee ‘Thankeciving at School. A plan to lessen the gloom for the little schoolgirl away from home is 2 packet of homesickness medicine sent from home to reach the school on ‘Thanksgiving eve.

If father and mother and the children can journey to the old home to keep the festival with grand- father and grandmether and meet all the married brothers and sisters and their families, why, that is as it should be, provided everything is harmonious. But, unfortunately, sometimes when. as it were, the stage is all set for a family love feast, the discordant “in- laws” and too often the members of the family themselves spoil everything by irritability and foolish exactions. and what should be a season of good cheer and good will nearly degenerates into ‘8 family row.

Nothing is better to counteract this state of affairs than a good bath. Let the water be deep enough to reach the baby’s waist: the temperature 104. A board should be placed across one end of the bath ‘with a few toys arranged on it. Let the little one sit down with a small bianket around his shoulders to pre ‘vent a chill. He should remaiz tn the ‘water for five minutes.

Put in the tablets, place the lamp in & pail, then light it and shut up the room.

Milady’s Mirror Cultivating Plump Hands. ‘The appearance of the hands is an index to the general healthy and # physician looks them over whén be examines the pulse. ‘One of the best ways of retaining or acquiring fresh, plump looking hands is by means of ofl baths. ‘Almond ofl or, Incking this, olive ol! is the best. This is warmed and ap- plied after the hands have been thor- oughly washed or scrubbed, rinsed in clear water and all the moisture re- moved. ‘A little cologne may be added to make the work somewhat more agree- able, Go over the hands and wrists and crevices around the nails, covering the entire surface. Take five minutes or longer for each hand. The more oil the pores absorb the more they need this nourishing food. This treatment continued every night or every other night for two weeks will certainly make @ vast improvement in the hands. Hollows gradually fill in, the skin be- comes refined and soft, the nails cease to appear dry and crack off, and the cuticle is more easily pushed back to display the delicate half moon. ‘That unbecoming sallow, wrinkled appearance gives way to a firm. smooth white skin, which gives en- couragement to the possessor. ‘Thin, anaemic women should always nourish their hands in this manner. Good fattening creams or cocoa butter may be substituted or alternated with the ofls. Astringents in the way of tonics should be used to further tighten the tissues, and for this purpose lemon Juice may be employed, or the lotion ‘containing honey, lemon juice and co- Jogne, one ounce each. Protrudina Wrist Bones. Ugly, protruding wrist bones often @isfigure an otherwise rather pretty arm and hand. Where the bones are too large there can be no help except to make plump the flesh about them. and for this nothing is better than alin- ond ofl or cocoa butter. Cocoa butter can be had at any drug store. It comes usually in square or oblong cakes, although some is put up tm round stick shape in a neat tin case and covered with tin foll, easy to tuck into a hand bag or toilet case. ‘To use warm the end of the stick or cake by the fiame of a candle, if nothing else is handy, or even by the alight heat of a couple of matches— anything to make it just soft enough to adhere to the palms of the hands. Have the skin ready—clean, soft and ‘warm and dry—run in the cocoa butter thoroughly and leave it on to absorb. which it does very readily, more so than any skin food or cold cream. An objection has been made that tt causes a growth of superfiuous hair. If this is feared finish with a spray of good cologne, well and thoroughly ap- Plied. An atomizer costing 50 cents will last a lifetime for the purpose. If the wrists are made plump it stands to reason that the joints cannot pro- trude in ugly fashion. It is usually Jack of flesh that causes the thing in the first place. And the same may be said pf the elbow. Where the joint is sharp, by increasing the plumpness of the flesh on the arm the bones will not eupear a0 prominentty. Whitening the Neck. Brown necks are not half so attrac- tive as white ones. ‘Try this way of whitening: First wash well with hot water and good soap; then massage with cold cream. While the cream {s still on the skin rab with half a freshly eut lemon; then massage again. Afterward wipe quite dry with a soft rag or towel. Repeat the ‘treatment night and morning for some weeks and you will be surprised to find how much whiter your neck has become. Care of the Mouth. In the cleansing toilet the care of the mouth, throat and nostrils should not De neglected. Few educated people neglect to brush the teeth before go- ing to bed, but they are less careful im regard to the mouth and throat ‘The gums, tongue and roof of the mouth should be washed daily with a roll of absorbent cotton and the throat well gargied. If this rule were al- ‘Ways followed throat troubles would be rare in the opinion of throat and ear specialists, tt ei ‘The following ointment will strengtb- x the growth and improve the appear- ance of the eyebrows: Red vaseline ‘two ounces, tincture of cantharides one-eighth of an ounce, ofl of lavender ‘Sfteen drops and oll of rosemary Sf- teen drops.

Be careful that none gets into the eyes, as it will inflame them, as all ofl do. ‘The Sleep That Counts. ‘When you go-to bed—if you are look- ing for beauty sleep—you should fall asleep right away. The beauty sleep- @, the one who wakes up looking re freshed. will fall asleep the misute er head touches the pillow.

You cannot make a dollar go far by making it go quickly. Eccentric people are people whom other people cannot afford to call fools. A New York medical journal has suspended publication. Poor circulation, we suppose. You can sometimes do a man a favor by refusing to lend him money, but he will not appreciate the favor. Justice may be blind, but so is civilization, or it would not stumble on such a situation as that in Europe. A woman can thrill as deeply over her preparations for housecleaning as a man getting ready to go fishing. Mr. Edison expects to make the submarines safer. But they seem to be already entirely too safe for battleships. The submarine has proved a tremendous factor in the war, provided she does not take too big a lead off her base. Human experience tends to show that the average man's biting off capacity always exceeds his masticating ability. Because of the war Sweden has been deprived of all weather forecasts. This leaves Mme. Thebes and the astrologers a monopoly. All of the belligerent nations insist that they were forced into the war. It is unfortunate that the same influence cannot force them out.

Lemon juice, applied first and allowed to dry into the leather, will facilitate the polishing of new shoes. To keep a placket from tearing down sew a hook and eye at the very bottom of the placket on the wrong side. Hook together, planching the hook down tightly, and it will never come unfastened.

A woman's birthday is a fact, but her age is fiction. The rolling stone acquires a polish along with his bumps. The industrious man prays for work; the lazy man for a snap. In the matter of war neither might nor dynamite makes right. The best lessons a man can learn are from his own mistakes. People who take themselves too seriously never have any fun. Cheer up! Sunshine will eventually puncture the thickest cloud. A woman always wants another woman to help her keep a secret. War is just as bloody, no matter which side seems to be winning. No real hustler is satisfied with the things that come to those who wait. At least the Swiss navy will not do anything to complicate the situation. If there is anything glorious at all about war it is the Red Cross nurse. In this war nothing is sure but death in Europe and taxes in America. China still sits by the "open door" wondering what is going to blow in next. Some fellows strike out for themselves, while others depend on a pinch hitter. A man's appetite gives doctors an opportunity to experiment at his expense. It is easier for a young man to make love to a girl than to make a living for her. The pen may still be mightier than the sword, but only the pen wielded by the censor. Paraguay has signed a peace treaty with this country, and, of course, every little helps. Turkey seems to be getting ready to get it in the neck once more about Thanksgiving time. While Europeans are dodging bullets Americans are dodging the "when I was in Europe" stories. The aviation corps of a country's forces is the only one which can fly without running away. A New York doctor claims that it is injurious to put sugar in coffee. To the sugar or to the coffee? If there ever is an international hay fever association it should always hold its convention in Klauchau. Where is the old fashioned man who used to predict that the next great war would be fought on the seas? It may have been noticed that few of the fashionable moonymoon plans are including a trip to Europe. If war cuts off the entire supply of dyestuffs blonds and brunettes will be shown up in their true colors. For purely lingual reasons the American reader is grateful that the war is not to extend very far into Russia. Don't spend too much time boasting of your grandfather. Fix it up so that your grandsons will be proud of you. The European war eagle, with wounded wings, must envy the tranquillity of the much maligned American peace dove. A diplomat can take his choice between being called loquacious or being described as preserving an ominous silence. Money makes a powerful ripple on the waters, but it does not always turn the tides. There is a little of the war spirit in all of us. Note your own sensations when some awkward gink tramples your corn. A diamond trust has been formed thus threatening still further to increase the cost of living for deserving prima donnas. The discovery of a new comet is reported from Bulgaria. As a presage of war it arrived considerably behind schedule time. One difficulty with a war correspondent's life is that if some hasty officer shoots him as a spy the mistake is so hard to correct. To act the part of a true friend requires more conscientious feeling than to fill with credit and complacency any other station or capacity in public life. One way to circumvent the advance of food prices, announces a New York investigator, is to eat less. Which will be dismissed by the average healthy and hearty American as no remedy at all.

What Happened When the Minister Save the President a Timely Mist. What happened within the Minister Gave the Bridegroom a Timely Hint. A minister was recounting some of his amusing experiences in marrying people. "There's an old custom," said he, "that the bridegroom shall kiss the bride immediately after the marriage ceremony is over. It's a good, practical custom, for it serves more handily than anything else that I know of to dissipate the awkward pause that almost always follows a simple, informal ceremony. For this reason I keep the custom alive. "One day a man whom I shall call Smith came to the parsonage to be married, Mr. Smith was a pompous, consequential little man. The prospective Mrs. Smith was a fine, winsome girl. After the ceremony Mr. Smith, in spite of his pomposity, did not seem to know just what was the next thing to do, so, as is my practice in such emergencies, I said, 'My dear sir, it is your privilege to salute the bride.' He turned around and, extending his hand formally, said, 'Mrs. Smith, I congratulate you!"—New York Times. As if He Didn't Know it. As if He Didn't Know it. He—You must admit you have en- couraged me! She—Encouraged you! Why, you haven't been able to save a dollar since you met me!-Chicago News. From Father to Son. "Well, Bobby," said the minister to the small son of one of his deacons, "what is the news?" "Popper's got a new set of false teeth." "Indeed!" said the minister, restraining a desire to laugh. "And what will he do with the old set?" "Oh, I suppose," replied Bobby, "they'll cut 'em down and make me wear 'em."—Kansas City Star Cautious "Want to take a little ride in my automobile?" asked Mr. Chuggins. "Where are you going?" asked the habitual ingrate. "Anywhere you say." IN WHERE YOU SAY. "Well, take me some place where I can look at a new building or a monument. I've seen all the garages and repair shops in the district."—Washington Star. Cause For Curiosity "How did you like my latest poem?" inquired Tennyson J. Daft, the versatile versificationist, angling for a compliment. "What was it about?" returned J. Fuller Gloom, the deservedly unpopular misanthrope. "Why didn't you read it?" "Oh, yes! That is what aroused my curiosity." - Judge. Too Late. "I thought," said the indignant answerer of an advertisement as he looked about an empty room, "that this was advertised as a 'going concern'" "It sure was," said the janitor as he wrung his mop, "but that was last week. It's gone now."—Chicago Post. Pa Dared Him. She—I told pa you wanted to see him the next time you called. He—What did he say? She—He said for you to come on; he wasn't afraid of you.—Boston Trans- script. PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT. Varicose Veins. As is generally known, a varicose vein is one which is pathologically and permanently enlarged. Usually this condition occurs in the veins of the legs, though any vein may be affected in this way. Not only are varicose veins enlarged in width, but they are also enlarged in length, with the result that they assume very tortuous or sinuous courses. The symptoms of varix are usually relieved by raising the limb. The superficially enlarged veins are readily recognized. One of the worst effects is hemorrhage from the bursting of an affected vein. The treatment of this accident is most simple, yet through importance many lives are lost in this way. The patient should at once lie down, and the limb should be raised. A pad should be fixed over the wounded vein by a bandage or handkerchief, and the limb should then be bandaged from the toes upward. As to the treatment of varicose veins, there is no doubt that in all bad cases excision by a surgeon is the most satisfactory. Milder cases should be treated by supporting the veins by a well fitting elastic stocking or properly applied rubber bandage. --- Getting Ready For Fun on Halloween. THE LORD OF THE ROCKS Year after year, when the magic Halloween comes round, young folks, and some of the older, too, make ready for its proper celebration. In the country where pumpkins are plenty the jack-o'-lantern is considered indispensable as a funmaker. Of course everybody knows how to make one. The pumpkin is dug out until but a shell remains, and after features are cut in its side a lantern is lighted and placed inside. On a dark night, when one suddenly sees the fiery countenance its appearance is alarming, and little people pretend to be very much afraid of it. Of course they only pretend, because they know perfectly well what it is. Anyway, it is a little startling on first view, and the youngsters delight in being frightened just a little bit. The picture shows grandpa making a jack-o'-lantern for his little grandmother. A Halloween Party. When sending out invitations for a Halloween party a jolly plan is to ask the invited guests to wear any disguise they choose, besides a huge, enveloping sheet and a pillowcase for the head covering. As they arrive station at the door to receive the guests a tall boy and girl, each dressed as queerly as possible. They may hand each guest a card, on which is printed a number. Number the cards just as the guests arrive, in order. A very dark room, with a huge "pumpkin head" ghost in the center, to add to the uncanny effect of the whole, is a great source of amusement to the younger set. The guests are supposed to sit in absolute silence that their identity may remain a secret until the arrival of the last guest; then very suddenly the lights are popped on and immediately the ushers in commence their task of trying to discover the identity of each separate guest. If perchance any success ensues then the unfortunate's number is taken from the card and jotted down on a tablet the ushers have ready for use. After luncheon the unlucky ones pay their just forfeit Jolly Halloween Game. A most lively time may be had playing the following little game of "bobbing apple." The boys and girls participating in the game have their hands tied tightly behind them. A large bowl (a wooden chopping bowl will answer the purpose nicely) is filled with water and placed in the center of a small table. In the water a big, rosy apple is dropped, and each participant in the game is told to take a bite from the apple as it floats on the water. If one gets a good bite without trying the second time he or she will have his or her wish if made that night on a dark cellar stair. But only one attempt to obtain the bite is allowed at a time. The children stand in a circle and bite in turn, counting from right to left. They may go round and round, biting at the "bobbing apple" as many times as they like, but the boy or girl who succeeds in getting a bite during the first round is the winner of the wish. Wheel of Fortune At a Halloween party a wheel of fortune will furnish much fun. Cut a large pasteboard disk and paint it to represent a wheel. Fasten with a nail on a large wooden board, to turn easily. Draw a circle outside the wheel and paint numbers around it. An arrow is firmly fixed to the nail so that it does not revolve. Have a witch in costume preside over the wheel. She has a large rustic basket filled with fancy envelopes—each numbered and containing a fortune in verse. The guests in turn give the wheel a turn or spin and receive from the presiding genius an envelope with the number corresponding to the one to which the arrow points when the wheel stops. Round Halloween Round Halloween I'm scared to death For spooky things I'm sure to see. No matter where I turn to go. They all seem grinning hard at me. There in a shop 'cross the hat A witch in tall and peaked hat. And just beneath her, in a rage. There stands a black and smarly cat With back arched high in the air, As if about to spring. You surely know by things you see It's nearing Halloween. And Brother Jack has made a head Of unwilling, large in size. And then he lights a candle To shine from cast the eye. Points for Mothers Nursery Rime Crib Sheets. Buy a good quality of sheeting one and a half yards wide—not linen, for that is too cold and becomes too easily wrinkled to prove satisfactory for babies' use and tear into the proper lengths. Two yards will make a good sized sheet for the ordinary crib and will be long enough to tuck in fairly. Six sheets will be found a good number. Hem each carefully, making a two inch hem at the top and an inch hem at the bottom. Then halfway between the sides of the sheet, just below the top hem, transfer some design showing a Mother Goose or nursery rime character. Many pattern companies publish embroidery designs which have been used with success, and only a hot iron is needed to transfer them. Children's books also abound in delightful pictures of little people and animals which, with the help first of tissue paper on which the design is traced and then of carbon paper for transferring, may be employed by the most inexperienced person. Use embroidery cotton in either soft pink or blue and outline the design, using the color in which the child's room is decoated. Then with very little work the small sheet is finished, and most attractive it is. Menua For Children. The following are good menus for children from three to five years of age: Beef broth with vermicelli cooked in it. Broiled fish for the meat course. Spinach, creamed, for greens. A baked potato for the starch food. A ripe, sweet orange for dessert and as much day old bread, with good butter, as the child wants. Vegetable omelet made with eggs lightly cooked and stewed celery (chopped) or chopped asparagus tips, well cooked, turned in the omelet just before finishing. A small cup of good cocoa. Well cooked rice. Lady fingers for dessert. Broiled lamb chop, stewed celery, creamed macaroni, bread, butter and honey, and a cup of cocoa for dessert. Poached egg on well made toast. A saucer of apple sauce, baked potato. Orange gelatin for dessert. Interchange these menus with the seasonable fruits and vegetables, being careful to keep the proportions right and also remember to use one part of meat to three parts of other foods. Consider eggs and milk as meat. The inorganic salts are in the greens and the fruits. Keeping the Child From School Every mother should have a clinical thermometer and be able to take the temperature of the child. A child with fever should not be allowed to go to school. A good, healthy child makes an efficient man, and health is as important as education. If there is a contagious disease in the school that your child has not had he should remain at home until all danger is over. Of course the teachers do not like this interruption of the studies, but it is not a matter of life and death that the child should pass his examinations at the end of the term, and it may be such matter if he becomes the victim of the disease. At the same time the mother should be the judge of the real condition of the child and not allow him to pretend or imagine himself ill when he is not. Candy For Children Scientists say sugar is a very good food for children, if it is properly eaten. The trouble with a great deal of candy is not with the sugar it contains, but with other harmful ingredients. Another objection is that too much candy is eaten at the wrong time—between meals. The best candy for children consists of a little pure chocolate—milk chocolate or sweet chocolate tablets—or pure sugar, as in lumps of sugar or pure rock candy or barley sugar. Only a little of this should be eaten at a time and preferably should be eaten after meals, so that it will not spoil the natural appetite for other things. Little Girls' Sewing Circles Sowing circles are always pleasing and beneficial to girls. Christmas gifts may be made, dolls may be dressed for hospitals. Very little fingers may find occupation in a patchwork quilt, this quilt to be sold to the highest bidder among the mammas. Sometimes a little fair may be given, consisting of one fancy table to hold the work of the club, an ice cream and candy booth, a grab bag filled with odds and ends donated by the various mothers. This is an occasion never to be forgotten and still does not require much expenditure of time or money. The children should vote on what charity is to receive the proceeds of the sale. The Whistling Doll A novelty that appeals to the small boy or girl is a new whistling doll. It is a character doll. When you press the small boy in the ribe he gives a most lifelike and childlike whistle. He is inexpensive, for his feet are made only of cotton filled with excelsior. If he is very small he costs 25 cents, and in larger sizes his price mounts to a dollar. He is dressed in a becoming suit and cap of blue cotton. PAGE FOUR THE BROAD AX PUBLISHED WEEKLY.

ARE WE A RACE OF COWARDST No race of people in the history of civilization ever endured a leadership of more consummate cowards than the Negroes. The average Negro is a coward in his own esteem. Void of self-respect, appreciation or manly resentment. He submits to every indignity, with apology, the White man inflicts upon him. When we speak of cowards, we do not mean physical cowards, but moral and intellectual cowards. The coward who hasn't the moral courage to resent a wrong. The coward who submits to every indignity imposed upon him by cowardly newspapers; the coward who accepts every Jim-Crow accommodation offered. If the Negro preacher, leader, pulpit and platform orator would teach their people to decently and respectfully decline to patronize those White business and enterprises that insult their womanhood and manhood, it wouldn't be long before insults and indignities heaped upon the race because of its color would grow beautifully less. If the Negro preacher would tell his congregation, that a manly and self-respecting race pride would not permit us to accept accommodation in the buzzard-roost, in the attics and lofts of White men's theatres, it would not be long before the buzzard-roost, attics and Jim-Crow places in White theatres would be cut out, for the reason they would have no business. For the reason a White man has the intelligence and keenness of foresight not to operate a business that does not pay. If the Negro preacher would teach his congregation from his pulpit each Sunday and the orator from the platform, not to read a White paper that endorses outrages against the race, that perpetrated and circulated indignities and wrongs upon our man and womanhood, it wouldn't be long before the White papers would cut out that part of their policy, for the reason, every White paper in the South is largely read by Negro constitutents, and their advertising rates are based upon circulation The Jew will not read a paper that is hostile to Jews. The German cuts out every paper that antagonizes and fights his nationality. The Irishman resents with all of his hot blood insults heaped upon his race by newspapers and other nationalities. The Jap resents with all of his soul, with all of his might, every wrong done him because of his race, his color or his condition. There is nobody a coward but the Negro; there is no race so divided against itself and is such a consummate band of bootlicks, cowards and syeophants as black educated leaders. What we need most is a manly leadership,—one full of moral courage and intellectual bravery. No bully, no insulter, but a man who has the intelligence and the Christian manhood to resent decently and manly, wrongs heaped upon the race. A man who defends the race of indignities that they ought not to endure, and how they may rid themselves of the agencies that seek to crush and undo it.

In view of the anomalous political situation affecting the Colored voters of the second ward we, the Young Woman's Social and Political Club, do hereby pledge ourselves to exert every possible honest and wholesome influence to the end that the nomination for --- Alderman in the forthcoming primaries may be obtained by the Honorable Oscar DePriest. After careful scrutiny of his public record we find him worthy of the confidence and respect of his constituents. His term of office as County Commissioner proved him to be capable and efficient in every respect and lost no opportunity at no time to use his best endeavor in the interest of his race. Therefore, be it resolved that the Young Woman's Social and Political Club band themselves together in one political unity that the culmination of their effort may result in his nomination and election.

Saturday, November 21, at 12:15 p.m. Mrs. Anna Elizabeth Hudlun, at her old homestead, 51st and Dearborn streets, where she had resided with her children for 38 years, very quietly and peacefully closed her eyes in death. She was born February 6, 1840, way back in the days of slavery, coming to Chicago from Missouri in 1854. She was united in marriage to Joseph H. Hudlun, who had charge of the Board of Trade Building for many years, who was highly respected and was succeeded by his son Joseph H. Hudlun in 1856. She was a faithful member of Quinn Chapel for 60 years. She was the mother of 9 children, five being no more and the 4 surviving ones are, Joseph H. Hudlun, Mrs. James H. Porter, Mrs. Mary L. Watkins and Mrs. Hattie Turner. Ten grand children and 7 great grandchildren are among those to mourn her departure. Funeral services were held over her remains at Quinn Chapel Wednesday morning. Charles Jackson in charge. Its pastor, Rev. J. C. Anderson, and the following ministers assisting in the services. Rev. Harry W. Knight, 2nd Baptist Church, Oak Park; Rev. W. D. Ford, Seventh Day Adventist; Rev. W. D. Cook, Presiding Elder; Rev. John T. Jenifer, Historian A. M. E. Church. The following organizations whose members always held Mrs. Hudlun in the highest esteem performed their part in the services: John Brown, W. R. C. G. A. R. Mother Hudlun Club, Women's Civic League of Quinn Chapel, Old Settlers Club and S. S. Class No. 5, Quinn Chapel. The musical program or services were in charge of the choir of Quinn Chapel. The active and honorary pall bearers were as follows: Frank Dawson, Henry Jones, Moffit Hulet, Richard Moore, Elijah H. Johnson and Robert Crawford. Honorary Pall Bearers—George Mead, Samuel Bond, Phil Green, John Johnson, Edward Mead, James Miller, Joseph Moore and Reuben Elan. More than fifty floral tributes were in evidence in Quinn Chapel and many letters of condolence were received by members of the family from all parts of the country. It was quite late when the services losed at Quinn Chapel Wednesday evening and her remains were removed back to the old homestead where on Thanksgiving day morning short services were conducted by Rev. Harry Knight, who read the favorite old fashioned hymns so much beloved by Mother Hudlun, "Dear Lord Remember Me," by Miss Charlotte Tervalon by request of deceased. Interment private at Mount Greenwood Cemetery. The family extend their heartfelt thanks to all who were so kind during Mother Hudlun's illness and during their trying ordeal for the many beautiful floral offerings and the support lent by their constant attendance and expressions of sympathy. PRESIDENT WOODBROW WILSON BACKS UP THE WORK OF THE HAMPTON NORMAL TRAINING SCHOOL. President Wilson's attitude toward constructive Negro work is admirably shown in his recent letter to Robert R. Morton, the commandant of cadets at Hampton Institute and president of the Negro Organization Society. President Wilson said: "I have been very much interested in the accounts I have heard of the work you are attempting to do through the instrumentality of the Negro Organization Society and feel that you are to be especially congratulated on the deep interest which has been manifested by the White people of Virginia and the South in the plans now maturing for the betterment of conditions among the Negro people. "I think one of the happiest circumstances of recent times is this co-operation between the White people and the Negroes in the South in intelligent efforts to advance the economic success and comfort of the Negroes and put them in a position where they can work out their own fortunes with success and self-request.

When the police arrived at their home they found Mrs. Benson sitting at a table, cooly and calmly sipping some port wine and her Colored husband was stretched out in front of her on the floor as dead as a door nail. The only thing found on Mrs. Benson, Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Benson, who at one time resided in the 35th or 36th block on Calumet Avenue and conducted what might be termed or called a shady house, where White ladies from the Red Light district, during the late hours of the night, met some of the married high toned Colored gentlemen and had a high old time with them, greatly enjoying themselves in every way. Their conduct, that is the conduct of the Colored married gentlemen who are well known in Colored society, and the White ladies in question became so bold and bad that Mr. and Mrs. Benson were requested to move from that neighborhood and up until last Friday they resided at 6300 Indiana avenue. It appears that Mr. Benson who was a railroader was in the habit of beating Mrs. Benson up who is White, fat and saucy, and on last Friday afternoon, while he was in the act of attempting to give her another good beating, she pulled the trigger of her revolver and two bullets from it passed through his heart, killing him instantly. Then she called up the Woodlawn police station informing the police that MILITARY AFFAIRS Morton Photo HON. EDWARD J.

When the police arrived at their home they found Mrs. Benson sitting at a table, cooly and calmly sipping some port wine and her Colored husband was stretched out in front of her on the floor as dead as a door nail. The only thing found on Mrs. Benson, after she was arrested, to justify her act or conduct was a newspaper clipping containing the names of fourteen women who had murdered their husbands and other men in the past few years and every one of them set at liberty and she will never hang or serve no time in prison for ending the life of her Colored husband.

Nimrod Dr. John W. Robinson, pastor of St. Mark, preached a great sermon on last Sunday morning to a large audience and continues to attract in a manner helpful to all who visit the services, showing much concern as is his custom. The pastor is delighted when he can shake your hand and bid you a "God bless you." The feature of last Sunday afternoon services was the splendid program tendered by the Lyeum. Miss Lucile Robinson, daughter of Dr. J. W. and Mrs. Robinson, sang a beautiful vocal solo to the delight of the audience. Her accompanist at the piano was the Dr., of course, and we liked his work. Mr. Leo Rodgers read an interesting paper. Mrs. Peters and Esco sang a duet so sweetly, "Within the gates of gold." We will long remember their performance. Miss Ulala, daughter of Rev. J. C. and Mrs. Peters, accompanied at the piano played with ease and grace. Miss Lula Ward, entertained us with a bit of character reading and was decidedly amusing. Mr. Wichert played a cornet solo, accompanied by Miss Lucile Robinson, in masterly fashion—this pair was warmly enced. Mr. James Hale Porter will address the Lyceum Sunday, Nov. 29, at 3 p. m. Hear him. BUYS JACK'S RACING CAR Jack Johnson's racing car, which two years ago was the talk of the country, has been purchased by B. C. Rosencrans of the Old Sanitarium at Prairie du Chien, Wis. This monster racing car was built by the Thomas Flyer Company. The solid aluminum body was cast in one piece in England, no manufacturer in this country being able to make it at the time. Its mechanism has a six-cylinder engine, each of the cylinders being 51 by 7 inches which have a capacity of 105 horse-power and will send the engine over the ground at a speed of 90 miles an hour. All the parts of this wonderful speed demon were especially made for Jack Johnson and cost $14,000. However, the reckless career run by Johnson in connection with his famous restaurant in Chicago brought about the loss of his rights in this country as well as his wonderful machine, which was attached for a debt by the Heileman Brewing Company of La Crête. NEGRO AND WIFE LYNCHED MOB FORCES DEPUTY SHERIFF AND POSSE TO WATCH HANGING OF PAIR. Byhalia, Miss., Nov. 26—Fred Sullivan, a Negro, and his wife, accused of burning a barn on a plantation near Byhalia several days ago were hanged today by a mob which forced a deputy sheriff and his posse to watch the execution. It might be well to call attention to the fact that for many years southern White gentlemen claimed that they never mobbed nor lynched a Colorad man unless he was simply charged with attempting to rape a White lady but in this instance a man and woman were mobbed for simply being accused of burning down an old barn, which is further proof that the life of no Colored person either man or woman or even little Colored children are not worth much in any of the southern states—Editor. REV. AND MRS. D. P. ROBERTS, FORMERLY OF THIS CITY, CELEBRATED, THEIR 25TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY AT INDIANAPOLIS. IND. Last Tuesday evening Rev. and Mrs. D.P. Roberts, at their lovely home, 410 W. Vermont Street, Indianapolis, Ind., delightfully celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary; more than two hundred of their friends in that city were present who greatly enjoyed that occasion. For some years Rev. and Mrs. Roberts resided in this city and during their residence here he was Pastor of Quinn Chapel and Bethel Church and he left a good record behind him and they still have many friends in this city who wish them continued joy and happiness to the end of their wedded life. Mrs. Martha B. Anderson, 6459 Champlain Ave., returned home last evening from an extensive singing tour through the southern states. Thanksgiving evening she sweetly sang before a crowded house at Louisville, Ky. Everywhere she was warmly received. A SAD PLIGHT The other day I saw an old couple set out of doors because they were able to pay their rent. "Brute of a landlord" I hear you say. But no, you are wrong. The landlord, too, must live this hard, cold winter. He is not a rich man. He cannot live without the rent from his flats. He has waited as long as he could before asking the old couple to move. How his well-cared-for features contrast with the pinched and shrivelled faces of his tenants. Yet, years ago, I knew both couples. Both were prosperous, both lived in comfortable homes. Yet there was this difference—one paid rent, the other paid the same amount on a home, paid it without stinting himself too mueh, without foregoing any of the pleasures of life—rather, his pleasures were increased by one of which the other knew nothing—the joy of possession. This feeling of possession will round out your life, insure a comfortable old age, and it is easily obtained. Simply let your rent apply toward a home. It will not be long, and after you have paid your money out like rent, it will still be yours. For instance, a modern flat building in the Forty-eight block on Langley avenue brings in $1,512 each year. It is selling at $9,000, so you see the rent will pay for this place in less than six years, and after that you will have $1,512 a year to do with as you please. That is better than the poorhouse, or dependency on a relative, for neither is pleasant. There are many other bargains in real estate on all the popular streets, and in all sections of the city. We have some rare bargains on Forest, Wabash Prairie, Green, Eberhart, Kenwood and other exclusive residence districts. We invite you to call and let us talk you about them.

Miss Mattie Woodson of Mound City and Mrs. C. A. Mitchell of Mounds, are the new teachers in the schools here this year. Miss Woodson has charge of the fifth and sixth grades, Mrs. Mitchell teaches some high school subjects and domestic science. Both are doing good work. Miss H. L. Mosby, our most excellent primary and music teacher will spend Thanksgiving Day in St. Louis, Mo., where she will be joined by her parents from Springfield, Ill. We wish her a joyous Thanksgiving. The pupils of the Mounds Township high school made a nice little sum from their Halloween entertainment. This goes to our piano fund. The piano adds so much to the school. Every one interested in the school will cheerfully do whatever he can to help pay for the instrument. We were sorry to lose our eighth grade teacher, Miss A. E. Price of Quincy, Ill., who went to East St. Louis where she is employed in the grade schools with an increase of pay. We wish her success there. Mrs. Willie Jenkins taught grades five and six during Miss Woodson's illness. The principal of Douglass School has asked permission to remove a partition wall which will give a larger and much needed assembly room. The teachers and pupils solicit the visits of parents at school. This will encourage us in our work and those parents who visit will get a better knowledge of the work that is being done. The U. S. Government sees the necessity of teaching the Spanish and Portuguese languages in our High Schools. Mr. Mitchell says that he would like to have a class in Spanish, which he would teach himself. We have had several distinguished visitors in our schools recently, among whom were Rev. Dr. Foster of Jackson, Tenn, and Dr. W. McHenry Wintes of Havana, Cuba. Both gentlemen made excellent speeches. Spencer Heights has been chosen for our new Township High School site. This is an excellent location and we should feel proud of this wise selection. NEGRO FELLOWSHIP LEAGUE Fifth of the series of heart to heart talks by principals of different schools, especially those where a goodly number of the pupils are Colored—will be given at the Negro Fellowship League, 3005 State Street, Sunday afternoon, November 29th, at 4 o'clock. The League is expecting to have the principal of the Farren School and also Miss Bell Patten, teacher in the same school to be present and deliver short addresses. On last Sunday Miss Williamson, principal of the Coleman School, gave a very interesting account of some of her experiences as principal in this school. Every one cordially invited, especially parents. THE HIGH COST OF LIVING. Nowadays one hears much of the "high cost of living,"—it is higher and soaring higher. That is a fact too evident to be denied and so the question of the day with most of us is "How can I cut expenses—how save a little?" There are many ways of solving this problem—by cutting grocers' bills—by careful use of gas—by economy in dress. However, it is by none of these methods that we can help you, but we can help you to lower your rent bill. We have lots of modern flats in desirable neighborhoods at very low rental—lower than you can find anywhere else in the city. Call at our office and let us help you.

Though you have money, you cannot buy what is not to sell. Everything must be at sea when the nations can't even float a loan. When bad news travels it always throws on the high speed lever. Lots of royal kinsmen in Europe now do not speak to one another. The European situation is a reminder that cousins frequently quarrel. Some men are like mules—they have no kicks coming; they are all going. Many a politician has found it easier to make a record than to explain it. Belgium is bitterly opposed to being the international cemetery of Europe. Europe will find the bread box is more vital than the ammunition chest. The colleges' courses in European history will all have to be changed this fall. Some people's curiosity is as crooked as the interrogation point that goes with it. The great decisive victory will be won when General Starvation takes command. However, war has its compensations. Several poets have been sent to the front. Anyway, Holland should have no trouble in placing her enemies on the water wagon. America is at present enjoying a supremacy based on plowshares rather than on swords. It takes a good deal of care at the spigot to save a waste of $50,000,000 a day at the bung. A great many actors are said to be stranded abroad. Just as many are that way over here. No doubt it is worrying the czar a great deal these days to know whether his Poles are negative. They were so successful in localizing the war in Europe that pretty much every locality gets some of it. When this war is over there probably will be no complaint for some time that Europe is overpopulated. To say that the unexpected always happens is merely to confess our ignorance of what ought to be expected. As war is expensive Canada is probably sending those million bags of flour so that England may have the dough. Those still searching about for a name for the present war shouldn't overlook the hunch General Sherman gave. When it comes to going to extremes you have to hand it to the doctor who says wearing of tight shoes causes baldness. This is the first time on record that Latin America was as anxious to do business with us as we are to do business with it. We thought music was the only uni- versal language. But how about the roar of the cannon and the wall of the widow and orphan? The way merchant ships are already passing through the Panama canal fur- ther confirms the conviction that it is filling a long felt want. Men are discovering in the red light of war that many things which they considered permanent and immutable are nothing of the sort. A manufacturer is making gloves with coin pockets in the palms. A one armed man is going to have a fine time getting at his change. There are to be some more new football rules this year, but even the changes may not make the reason for football clear to some people. A state of neutrality requires only that every man shall attend to his own affairs and respect the rights of his neighbors to do the same thing. The government has issued new charts showing the approaches to the Cape Cod canal, and foreign governments can buy them if they will. Mr. Carnegie spent enough money on peace palaces to be pardoned for expressing some indignation in regard to the way The Hague has treated him. Those Dreadnoughts and super-Dreadnoughts and other terrible ships of war appear to be having fairly good luck in keeping out of each other's way. Whether the British-American peace centenary plans proceed or not, it is becoming evident that Ghent was an unfortunate choice for the central celebration.

Mrs. Ruby Ross Goodnow, the writer, and Rayne Adams, the architect, are collaborating on a book which will deal practically with problems of home building. Robert Eugene Pougeheon, to whom the Grand Prix de Rome for painting was recently awarded, is a French artist who has already attained a high place among painters of the world. A little French girl, Mlle. Huguette Vitoy, who is only fifteen years old, recently had admitted to the exhibition of the Society of French Artists a plaster cast of a little girl putting her doll to sleep. George Annard MacKenzie, who recently obtained his M. A. degree at Cambridge university, is deaf and dumb. Five years ago he won unusual academic success by taking the degree of bachelor of arts. He has already wooed art with success and has become both a portrait and a landscape painter. Current Comment. An apple crop of 210,000,000 bushels ought to provide a very agreeable per capita circulation of ple.—New York World. Just at this time there is no disposition to look down on the American diplomat merely because his legation building is not supremely ornate and elegant—Washington Star. The announcement that the Panama exposition will open on time is based on the sound theory that now is the time for Americans to do business, not to quit it—Chicago Herald. Would Be Prophet Voliva says the end of the world is at hand, but you would be wise not to sell your last winter's overcoat on the strength of the claim—Memphis Commercial Appeal. The All East War. The dove of peace has turned turtle!—Washington Post. To a landlubber the European navies are acting as if they are seasick.—Dallas News. Uncle Sam's ship of state may yet prove the Noah's ark of nations.—Chicago News. Europe is nearer to a universal language than in many years. But the mouths of cannon speak it, and it is of no use to the Esperantists.—New York World. Well, you who would like to have lived in great days, like those of Caesar, Washington, Napoleon—you are living in them. Are you conscious of it? Are you greatly affected?—New York Tribune. Fashion Frills. Silk stockings may grow scarcer, but there's nothing to prevent a grown man from wearing white socks and a wrist watch.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. If we can't get our fashions from Paris any more perhaps we shall be able to invent some fashions of our own which we will not feel so much disposed to ridicule.—Philadelphia Press. A house dress with a single fastening is advertised, but there is no relief for the husbands who are accustomed to earning contempt in their capacity of lady's maid when a party gown is in order.—Louisville Courier-Journal. Short Stories. Prophets are predicting a cold winter. The coast of the state of Maine was at one time lined with volcanoes. The Arabs were the first to use orange blossoms as bridal wreaths. Wilkesland coast, in the antarctic regions, is said to be the windiest in the world. Vacuum carafes, permanently installed in the rooms of new hotels, will disband the "ice water brigade." . English Etchings. The leading daily newspapers in London number twenty-five. There are coal fields in Great Britain that have been worked for at least 700 years, yielding every kind of coal except anthracite. A London physician practicing in the poorer districts of that city says that 25 per cent of the children coming under his observation wear charms and amulets under their clothing. Science Siftings The pulse of a horse is a little more than half as rapid as that of a man. According to a German scientist, hailstones are formed by the electricity of the thunderstorms which they accompany. Distinct traces of light have been detected in the ocean at depths of more than 3,000 feet by an English oceanographical expedition. Ways of Women. Very few girls look queenly in a wrapper.—Kansas City Jurnal. What a pretty girl likes to be told is that she is clever too.—Detroit Free Press. From a woman's point of view, to be compelled to suffer in silence takes all the pleasure from it. — Philadelphia Record. There may be a depression throughout the land, but the visible supply of silk stockings does not indicate it.—Baltimore American. Rendez Made While Hosted. If I had time this sweltering day To write a wondrous roundelay To waft the reader to a clime More temperate, more free from grime And change, then we might all away To where the trees with breezes away, To where the skies are cool and gray, Where squirts the seitzer, grows the lime— If I had time! If I had time I might display A bit of energy—but, nay; You're weary, reader dear, while I'm Just bluffing with machine made rime. (But couldn't we be awfly gay If I had time?) —Cleveland Plain Dealer. Would Go Without Help. A rising composer wrote an anthem for a celebration in a certain colonial capital. Toward the end of the ceremonies, when the people were going out a few at a time, the author rushed to the conductor and said: "Is it over?" "Practically." "But, great Scott, man, they have not sung my anthem?" "Well," said the conductor, "so long as the people are going out peacefully and quietly why sing it at all?"—Stray Stories. Considerate Beasts and Birds. The rhino is a funny beast. As sure as you are born. It never seems to have the least Desire to blow its horn. —Youngstown Telegram. The elephant's another one. It has an awful hunk Of weight to carry, but it lets Nobody tote its trunk. —Houston Post. The pelican's an honest bird. It loves to eat its fill. But never asks its friends, I've heard, To help it pay its bill. —New York Sun. Eloquence Unchecked. "Our friend makes exceedingly entertaining speeches," said the cautious campaigner. "I know it," replied Senator Sorghum. "Aren't you afraid he'll prove a rival for leadership in our party?" "No. Just let him go ahead making speeches while I devote my attention to the real business." — Washington Star. Difficult Children. Said his father to Jonathan Sinjin: "My lad, you're as wild as an Injun. Really, you ain't John, What I'd call a saint, John, And I think that you're in for a swingein'!" Said her mother to Little Miss Chumley: "You for your hair rather bumly. Do it more blondly. Daughter Cholmondley. Don't streak it and freak it so rumely." —New York Sun. She Was Surprised. "I've got something I want to tell you. You haven't heard about the shocking Billinger tragedy, have you?" "Yes. I've heard about it at least four times. You're late." "That's funny. It was told at the club for the first time, and everybody there promised not to repeat it"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Of Course. "You know that people feather nests," Said Tommy Smith. "But here's a question for you, kid, What with?" "That question is a simple one," His Busy Trade. "Idleness, I suppose, brings most of these men to jail. See the fellow yonder? He looks the picture of laziness." "On the contrary, he had work to burn." "Indeed? What was it?" "He's a firebug."-Baltimore American. Made Preparations The king was in his counting house, counting up his money, and sitting on a table. The queen and the kitchen, eating bacon and honey. "I don't very quietly fare," said she with save for Vacation. —Saint Post-Intelligencer. The Trouser-like Fit. "The women are appropriating our privileges," said Hobson sourly. "I hope they'll find attached some of our troubles." "They will," Jimpson assured him. "My wife was complaining today that her skirt was getting baggy at the knees."—Puck. It Wasn't Broke. Said the doc to the maiden from Hocking "You have broken your leg. This is shocking." Said the girl, "That's a joke, Primeval Reproaches Printral Repeaches. Adam and Eve were leaving the Garden of Eden. "It's all your fault," said Adam. "It isn't, either," replied Eve. "It's your fault. You ought to have had us put under civil service so we couldn't be turned out."—Philadelphia Ledger. A. Sorratch Affair You may scratch the back of a kindly man, Who scratches your back; but, say, You can't scratch the back of a match, by back. Because it ain't built that way! --Lippincott's. Suita Herself. "My wife is always asking me what I would like to eat." "That's kind of her." "Oh, I don't know. When I tell her she says, 'The idea!' and orders something else—Birmingham Age-Herald.

New Orleans is rapidly exterminat. ing its rat population, and landing of rats from ships is now prevented by tin shielis on cables and other devices.
