AT THAT TIME COL. LOWDEN WAS ONE OF THE DIRECTORS OF ORCHESTRA HALL AND HE WAS NOT IN FAVOR OF PERMITTING SENATOR TILLMAN TO PREACH ANARCHY, MOB AND LYNCH LAW AND HIS SHOT GUN POLICY FOR LAW ABIDING COLORED MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN FROM THE PLATFORM IN ORCHESTRA HALL. THE LATE ROBERT M. MITCHELL, JAMES H. PORTER AND THE WRITER TALKED WITH HIM OVER THE LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE AT HIS HOME AT OREGON, ILL., MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 26, 1906 AND HE EXPRESSED A WILLINGNESS TO COME TO CHICAGO AND CONSULT WITH THE OTHER DIRECTORS OF ORCHESTRA HALL TO SEE IF THE CONTRACT COULD NOT BE SET ASIDE WHICH HAD BEEN ENTERED INTO WITH THE PROMOTERS OF THE TILLMAN LECTURE. COL. LOWDEN BEING ONE OF THE HEAVY STOCKHOLDERS IN THE PULLMAN PALACE CAR CO., IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT EVERY COLORED MAN IN THE SERVICE OF THAT COMPANY LIVING IN THIS STATE WILL RALLY TO HIS SUPPORT AND ASSIST TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, FOR HIM TO SECURE THE NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS. It will be recalled that for two weeks prior to Tuesday evening, November 27th, 1906 that a most bitter and an unrelenting warfare was waged through the columns, of this paper against permitting Benjamin R. Tillman, the South Carolina anarchist, from lecturing in Orchestra Hall for the benefit of the Union Hospital, that at the end of our memorable fight on him he was driven from the lecturing platform. The following part of our long to be remembered fight on him has never been set forth in cold type before, so eager were we to prevent him from appearing in Orchestra Hall, to exploit or to advocate mob and lynch law and his shot gun policy when come down to dealing with law abiding Colored men, women and children, that we left no stone unturned in an effort to choke him off. On Sunday morning, November 25th, 1906, we met the late Alexander Sullivan in his law offices in the Atwood Building by an appointment made with him on the Saturday evening before and after spending many hours in consulting many law books in an effort to see if there was not some law that could be resorted to to prevent Senator Tillman from making his grand stand play against the Colored people at Orchestra Hall, finally he said that nothing could be done in that direction unless we could prove in advance that riot, bloodshed and human lives would come to a sudden end and property rights would be destroyed by his presence at Orchestra Hall, of course we were not in a position to prove that Monday morning, November 26th, 1906, we wended our way to the law offices of Patrick H. O'Donnell and William Dillon and they both imparted the same MR. LEOPOLD PFAELZER. Mr. Leopold Pfaelzer, Democratic candidate to fill out the unexpired term of his brother, the late David M. Pfaelzer, as a member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County was born in Laudenbach, Baden, Germany, Nov. 11, 1858, and received his education in its common high school and business college in Laudenbach, Weinheim and Biblis by Woms Am Rhein Germany. He has resided in this city for more than 38 years and is one of its first or high class business men with a reputation for straightforward business methods that can-not successfully be assailed, for many years he was more than successfully associated with his brother David M. Pfaelzer, in the wholesale clothing business, at the present time he is engaged in the insurance business with offices in the Insurance Exchange Building, 175 Jackson Blvd., he resides in an elegant home with his highly interesting family, 4322 Drexel Blvd.; he is a big hearted liberal minded gentlemen and one of his characteristics is his love for doing something for others and he is one of the big contributors to the Associated Jewish Charity. He belongs to a number of fraternal benevolent societies. information to us. That same Monday evening while sitting in the law office of the late Robert M. Mitchell, who was one of our best and truest friends, discussing the situation with him, Mr. James H. Porter entered and declared that the next best thing to do would be to get Col. Frank O. Lowden on the long distance phone at his home at Oregon, Ill., and see if he could not help us out, it was no sooner said than it was done and Mr. Porter was the first to talk to him over the long distance wire and after fully explaining the situation to him the writer took a hand in talking to him, for be it remembered that at time Col. Lowden was one of the directors of Orchestra Hall, he strongly intimated to us that he was not in favor of permitting Senator Tillman to preach "anarchy" mob and lynch law and his shot gun policy for law abiding Colored men, women and children from the platform in Orchestra Hall, but that there was no law to prevent him from speaking there unless we could prove before hand that property rights would be destroyed, riot and bloodshed would follow, and so on from that day to this Col. Lowden has stood mighty high in our estimation. Mr. Mitchell has passed to the great beyond, likewise Mr. Sullivan, but Mr. Porter who is not supporting Col. Lowden in his race for the nomination for governor can testify as to the truthfulness of the above statement. Col. Lowden being one of the heavy stockholders in the Pullman Palace Car Co., it is almost useless to state that every Colored man in the service of that company will rally to his support on September 13, and greatly assist to put him over the plate for the nomination for governor of Illinois. Among those most active in getting Mr. Pfaelzer to be a candidate for member of the Board of Assessors are Judge Henry Horner, Jacob M. Loeb, president of the School Board, Edward Hillman, president of Hillman's Department store, Chas. Harder, president of the Harder's Storage Company, Louis Kuppenheimer of B. Kuppenheimer Co., Geist Brothers, W. R. Mumford of W. R. Mumford & Co., John Magnus & Co., Albert Hoefeld, August Gatzert of Rosenwald & Weil, P. Marsh & Co., Geo. B. Currier, Jos Beifeld, John S. Perry of Janeway & Carpender. For years Mr. Pfaelzer and his late brother David M. Pfaelzer have employed three Colored men in their building on Van Buren St., near Market street; his brother Louis Pfaelzer, president of Louis Pfaelzer & Sons, packers at the Union Stock Yards also give steady employment to a large number of Colored men. Proving far beyond a doubt that the Pfaelzers are friendly disposed towards Colored people, that they will have a good friend at court by aiding him to become one of the members of the Board of Assessors of Cook County.

The Indian method was to compute time by sleeps and moons. A sleep is twenty-four hours, and @ moon is a month There is also a midmoon, where the sun is at 12 o'clock meridian. This hour is indi- cated by pointing overhead. ‘When an Indian pointed quarter way up the sky he meant 9 o'clock; when he pointed quarter was down he meant 8 o'clock. Sunrise was the eastern horizon and sunset the western. ‘When there was a moon the time was indicated in the same way as by the sun, Were an Indian asked the distance to a certain place or how far he had come he would say so many sleeps, or days’ travel. A sleep, a8 describing distance, was about thirty- five miles when walking deliberately or from fifty to seventy-five miles if going in haste with a message—Phil- adelphia Inquirer. The Firet Aties The first modern atlas was the work of Abraham Ortelius, a Dutch geogra- pher, who died 518 years ago. His monumental treatise, entitled “The- atrum Orbis Terrarum,” was first pub- Ushed at Antwerp in 1570 and was re- vised and reissued five times during the author's lifetime. It was a folio volume containing nearly a husdred maps, representing the different coun- tries and continents as they were then known. Although this atlas was a momentous achievement, yet a bright schoolboy today could draw maps from memory with a better approximation to correctness. Even England and Scotland appear in this ploneer volume with amazing distortions of coast line and relative area, and many other maps in the volume bear only a slight resemblance to those of today.—New York World. An Ant That Spins. ‘The spinning ant is found in India, im Ceylon, in the islands of Malacca and in Australia. This ant weaves its nest between two leaves of a tree, Preferably the mango. It begins to build or to weave by drawing two leaves together. ‘To do this it runs a Une of its working material—material similar to the spider's thread—the length of the leaf and around it. While at work it clings to the leaf with its nails and at the same time draws on the leaf nearest to it with its mandi- bles. Sometimes the two leaves sult- able for nest building are too far apart; then the builder calls in its fellow ants, and they help to form a chain. Each ant clings to the waist of its neighbor by its mandibles. Thus en- chained, they work to build the nest of their comrade. ‘That Indefinite Article. The rule dealing with the indefinite article preceding words commencing ‘with “u” (when pronounced “yu”) does not appear to be an adamantine one. Like Macaulay, with his fondness for “an” university, many of our best writers and speakers prefer to ignore the rule and back their fancy in this Uttle question of euphony. As for the man in the street, the matter has long ago been settled in favor of “a” in all cases where the initial “u” bas the “gu” sound, partly no doubt because such phrases as “an united people” do not come trippingly off the tongue and have an old fashioned, pedantic flavor. And there are sensitive ears that will prefer “a unique” to the more studied “an unique."—London Chronicle. Calendars of the Aztecs. Calendars are probably the oldest form of literature in the world. The cards which appear by the millions in all civilized countries nowadays have their counterpart among the most an- clent known races. The Aztecs, for ex- ample, were well supplied with calen- dars, and several of them have been preserved to this day. They were pub- lished in stone and set up in public places.

We are using a word that 1s more ancient and aristocratic than any of our proudly displayed coats of arms. And it came from the same source as most of the world’s aristocracy—from the farm! “Pester” 1s an abbreviation for “impester,” and a pastorium, in classic Latin, was sim- ply @ pasture. There were no fences around the pasture, and to prevent the horses and cattle from straying too far in quest of lush grass their feet were shackled.

If greatness consists of great abill- ty linked with great opportunity, then we must pass unchallenged the dec- laration that Marshall is the greatest Judge in the language, states Hugh H. Brown in Case and Comment. No English judge ever had the opportunity of a new field except Hardwicke in equity, Mansfield in commercial law and possibly Stowell in admiralty. ‘The world never had known a science of a written constitution of govern- ment until it came in Marshall's time. Standing before his portrait in com- pany with a distinguished foreigner, an American lawyer said, “We con- sider him the greatest judge of our country.” A British justice replied, “You might well say the greatest Judge of any country.” Another Englishman, James Eryce, said in substance that the higher qual- ities of Marshall's decisions never had been surpassed and but rarely equaled by the most famous jurists of moderp Europe or of ancient Rome. iccthia te neta: The production of chrysarobin, a medicinal principle much used in par- asitic skin diseases, is attended with great peril.

The folded and compressed leaves of che plant, like a man’s fist, had pushed against the bard but flexible concrete until ft bulged up and split and let the irrepressible plant through. The force exerted must have been many pounds. I think {t doubtful if the strongest man could have pushed his fist through such a resisting medium. Life activities are a kind of explo- sion, and the slow continued explo- sions of this growing plant rent the Pavement as surely as powder would have done.

The disease is also called ‘Acute Anterior Polio-Myelitis because of the evidences found post mortem which show that the spinal cord is often affected anteriorly. As the name sug: gests the disease often proceeds to a condition where paralysis follows. It is an acute infection due to a filterable jgerm that has been recently demon- strated. It oceurs at times in epidemic form as at present; at other times it is found here and there sporadically. ‘The brain and spinal cord are affected. The disease is capable of being spread by secretions from those who have the disease or by those who have come in contact with secretions from the nose and throat of persons attacked. The virus or germ enters the body by way of the nose and the throat from whick routes it easily is transmitted to the brain and spinal cord. It may be car ried by contaminated healthy person: who are careless about the matter of personal hygiene. Those who come ir contact with the sick and who fail tc carefully clean their hands before othe: contact are especially liable to seatte: this as well as other maladies. It is known that nurses and others who at tend patients suffering of this disease do not contract the disease readily and the presumption is that they are prac tically immune because of their knowl edge of personal hygiene which mean: personal cleanliness.

Spitting, coughing and sneer. ing by attendants and others who have ‘been in contact with sufferers of this disease are dangerous. | Infantile paralysis is not the proper name for this malady for others are of. ten vietims as seen in this present epi- demic. Paralysis does not always fol low which is another evidence that the term Infantile Paralysis is a misnomer. There are three forms of the disease, the paralylitic, the memingeal and the abortive. It is evident that the abor. tive type will gften escape recognition by the most careful observer. The paralytic form is self evident and the paralysis is sometimes permanent. It is generally preceeded by fever and in- disposition; the loss of the use of a limb may follow. Pain may be found present in the back or shoulders. The paralysis is abrupt in its onset, it may Teach its height in twenty-four hours, Abortive forms may show fever, head- aches, vomiting, twitchings of the limbs, without local paralysis. There may be ‘coma, convulsions, rigidity, without lo- cal paralysis. The prevention of the malady must be accomplished through general clean- liness, sanitary means. Recovery re- quires the assistance of proper medical and surgical care. This disease has been epidemic before and was brought under control. ‘The great advance in medical and surgical science will save us again and again. ‘Tue Vacariovs Law.—t was sitting in the smoking room compartment next to two men who were discussing the advisability of buying themselves ‘a drink.

Nothing remains for them but to re- sign to a realization that Josephus will not resign. “Inadequate” aptly characterizes the Wilson administration, but almost any synonym of unsatisfactory will do. When Charles E. Hughes said: “The dealings of the administration with Mexico constitute a confused chapter of blunders.” he gave an explicit char- acterization of the Wilson administra- tion's policy in one sentence. Just as it is now obstinately shut- ting Its eyes to the need of industriat preparedness, for three years the Wil- son administration refused to see the need of adequate military prepared- ness. With war on our southern bor- der it was content to rely on a regular army that could only muster 40,000 available men and refused to continue the established policy of bullding up our navy.

If the national administration had had the ability to interpret the signs of the time military Preparedness would have been well un- der way instead of barely begun. Charles E. Hughes, the Republican candidate, recognizes an important fact that Woodrow Wilson, the Demo- cratic president. appears to have over- looked—that the United States is big enough to help Mexico out of the con- ition of anarchy in which that coun- try 1s plunged and, by securing order in Mexico, insure peace on our border. ‘The insuperable handieap of the Democratie party in this campaign 1s Sts cecord.

BURSTING A BUBBLE. The Democrats who sought a crit- feism from Dr. Charles W. Eliot of Mr. Hughes’ acceptance of the presi- dential nomination got one, but not the kind they wanted. Dr. Eliot was heartless. Instead of helping the Dem- ocrats keep the supreme court bubble in the alr he pricked it with a pin when in his letter he. said of Mr. Hughes’ action: “Most Americans will think that, having tried the life of a governor and the life of a justice of the supreme court, he had a right to give effect to his preference for political service.” Mr. Lansing is credited with the be- Uef that the case against Great Britain on account of the blacklist is so weak that it ought not to be pressed. What, then, did Mr. Polk mean when he called the attention of the British gov- ernment, “in the gravest terms,” to “the many serious consequences” to be apprehended if it were not with- é@rawn? © by Pach Broa. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, AUGUST 26, 1916. POSSESSES ESESSESED FEFEEEEESESE : Governor Hughes’ visit to Detroit opened the presidential campaign ’ of 1916, and if we may forecast the events that are to follow by the omens of Monday we would prognosticate an intensely warm, vivid and humanly ’ interesting period in the next few months. + Setting aside the auspices of meteorological conditions in this previ- sion of the future—although they are approved by numerous professional / augurs and by a host of commonalty as well—we base this prophecy on - the characteristics of the candidate whose too brief stay with us has » been enjoyed by all with whom he came into contact. ,__ The misguided individuals who have been expecting Charles E. Hughes , “would prove to be a cold proposition and therefore easy to beat are in for , a shock that will make them think they have been hit by an uninulated | trolley wire. There is nothing cold about Mr. Hughes, Detroit has learn- | ed. He is about as intensely human a piece of humanity as ever captured | the hearts of a crowd, and the more people in the United States he meots | between now and November the more votes will be cast for him. Asa campaigner he is a revelation. He likes his fellow beings, and they like | him because they see he likes them. | And what his personality begins his remarkable powers of intellect | and utterance finish. He drives his points home with tremendous force. What he says.sticks. There are thousands of Americans today who can ' retell every step in the arguments he made eight years ago on the Bryan "trust policy, yet in 1908 Mr. Hughes was not especially a prominent figure and there was no particular reason why his address more than others should have remained clearly in the memory except the gift of the man to send his own thoughts so deep into the brains of others. They are clear in his own mind first, undoubtedly. He knows precisely what he wants to | aay because he has reasoned it out before he speaks it out. Probably that | has something to do with the ease with which he conveys his meaning. | But it is a very rare quality he possesses in his ability to master subjects 80 thorgughly as to make the most abstruse simple to himself and hie hearers. It is a quality eminently desirable in a political candidate. It is Infinitely more to be desired in the president of a great country like the United States. Detroit's impression of Charles E. Hughes is all favorable. The thou- sands of people who have studied him at close range are convinced that if he is elected president next November he will be a great president, one of the greatest this nation has known, worthy to stand in history with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, a custodian of the republic’s fate to whom that fate may confidently be intrusted. If that conviction is shared by the people of other states whom he is still to meet the out- come of his swing around the great American circle cannot fail to be pro- pitious for him—Detroit Free Press. «. , a “75 cS Yo " fan oe ae oe y et y ee ae a Ct ee a eS aw Vy ‘i y 6 § Ss. ~ ». p ELS , DSA (a piece © by Pach Bros CHARLES EVANS HUGHES. | CHARLES WARREN FAIRBANKS.

HUGHES HAS EXPLODED THE “KEPT US OUT OF WAR” ARGUMENT. Mr. Hughes’ attack upon the “kept- us-out-of-war” argument has aroused & storm of enthusiasin. “Kept us out of war!” he demands. “Why, there were nineteen men—good American soldiers, shot down at Vera Cruz, and Many Mexicans were killed by our men. That was war. More- over, it was a very ignoble war. I have heard three explanations of the Vera Cruz move. “First, it was explained that it was made in order to compel somebody to salute the flaz—somebody who had insulted us. But the flag was not sa- luted and has not been to this day. Then it was said that the salute was not what we sought. but to prevent the landing of a boatload of ammani- tion intended for Huerta. The ammu- nition landed, however. and it has been shown that it reached Huerta in due sexson without interference on our part. “When that reason was shown to be untenable a third one—and possibly the real one—finally was advanced. It was said that our seizure of Vera Cruz was a move to compel the retire- ment of Huerta. It seems possible that this is true. although we had promised the Mexicans that we would not interfere in their affairs and told them more than once that we wanted them to handle their own affairs. “That is why the Mexicans could not understand us and that is why they show little faith in our promises.” MANANA. Manana, which is Mexican for “watchful waiting,” is the Pemocratic keynote in the campaign. The Wilson drive 1s to begin “some time” after Sept. 1, but no definite engagements have been made. it is announced, for him to commence making political speeches. He has tentative engage- ments to make some western visits about the middle of September, but nothing positive. Plans are being formulated for carrying on a cam- paign to capture the w.man vote of the country, but who will make the speeches on this phase of the contro- versy has not veen determined. It has been expected that Mr. Bryan would speak in the Maine campaign, but it is now believed he cannot do so, but will make some speeches later. And so it goes. Wate ful waiting will prevail, while in the meantime Mr. Hughes is carrying on a positive cam- paign and arousing the entire western courtry. “1 don’t care, if | am elected president, what becomes of my personal "political fortunes. 1 propose that we shall have no more, if | can stop it, of these ‘kiss'me and I'll kiss you’ ap- propriations in Congress.” — From Mr. Hughes’ Speech at Chicago. | SOUTH-IN-SADDLE IN NAVY. Out of the 17 Ranking Officers In Charge of Naval Affairs 12 ‘Are From South. To Josephus Daniels, who has repre- sented the Administration's Policy ‘with rezard to the first line defense, is eredited responsibility for cramping and thwarting progress and efficiency in the navy. Many new men have been brought into the Washington end of the navy organization. Of the seventeen high ranking officers who are charged with the responsible duties of administering the affairy of the navy twelve are from the Southern states. In years gone by necessity did not arise to question from what section come the officers chosen to head the bureaus of the Navy Department. Comparisions be- tween the army and navy in this re- spect will show that no such conditions exist in the war Department.

AN ADDRESS TO THE REPUBLICANS OF ILLINOIS IN BEHALF OF HON. JULIUS JOHNSON FOR THE NOMINATION FOR AUDITOR OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS. The undersigned Republican voters in Rock Island County take pleasure in supporting and commending to the Republicans of Illinois the candidacy of Mr. Julius Johnson for the Republican nomination for Auditor of Public Accounts, State of Illinois. Mr. Johnson has been a highly respected citizen of our community and is very favorably known throughout the State. He brings to his candidacy a high reputation for personal integrity, a long and efficient public service, and many years of unselfish labor for party success. His nomination would be a deserved recognition of genuine merit and would add much strength to the State ticket at next fall's election. Respectfully. F. A. Londee, Senator 33rd Sen. District; W. A. Meese, Attorney and Lecturer; Martin R. Carlson, Mayor, Moline; P. S. McGlynn, Editor Moline Dispatch; W. E. Taylor, Soil Expert Deere & Co.; L. C. Blanding, Chairman Rep. Cen. Com; Moline; A. G. Anderson, Chairman Rep. Cen. Co., Rock Island; Benj. S. Bell, Probate Judge Rock Island County; G. C. Deetz, Municipal Judge, Moline; Gustav Andreen, President Augustana College; Wm. McConschie, Mayor Rock Island; M. T. Budgren, Commissioner Acct and Fin., B. I.; H. B. Hubbard, County Clerk, Rock Island County; N. A. Larson, County Judge, Rock Island County; Sherman W. Searle, Editor Rock Island Union; Thomas Campbell, Representative 33rd Sen. District; Geo. W. Johnson, Chairman County Rep. Cen. Committee; Fred W. Rinck, Secretary County Rep. Cen. Committee. It must be said to the great credit of Mr. Johnson that he is spending his own money in connection with the expenses in his clean cut race for the nomination for Auditor of Public Accounts for the State of Illinois, whereas on the other hand one of his chief opponents who at the present time occupies a big state office, has forty or fifty men traveling throughout the state brow beating and buldozing the voters into supporting him, who is a public leech and he is foolish or childish enough to believe that the taxpayers of this state must always maintain him in some kind of office, although he has made millions of dollars directly and indirectly by holding public office. It is claimed that many of his shouters and retainers are on the state payroll and drawing their pay out of the pockets of the taxpayers of this state while they are spending the people's time in working in the interest of their political boss. This should in some way or other be stopped at once and the Republican voters should severely rebuke him at the state wide primaries, Wednesday, September 13th and nominate honest Julius Johnson for Auditor of Public Accounts for the state of Illinois. FIVE SECTIONAL CONFERENCES ON TUBERCULOSIS. White Plague Fighters Will Meet in New Haven, Louisville, Jackson, Newark and Albuquerque. Sectional conferences on tuberculosis will be held during the month of October in New Haven, Conn., Louisville, Ky., Jackson, Miss., Newark, N. J., and Albuquerque, N. M., under the auspices of The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, according to a bulletin issued today. The Louisville conference, which will comprise the Mississippi Valley States, will meet first on October 4, 5 and 6. The New England States Conference at New Haven will meet on October 12 and 13, the Albuquerque Conference, taking in the Southwestern States, on October 13 and 14; the North Atlantic States Conference at Newark on October 20 and 21, and the Conference for the Southern States at Jackson on October 30 and 31. The governors of every state in the territory of each of these conferences will appoint delegates, and the mayors of practically all of the principal cities will send representatives. Chambers of commerce, state and county medical societies, anti-tuberculosis associations, women's clubs and other civic and social groups are being urged to send delegates to the conference in their various districts. The programs of each conference will be suited to the locality in which the conference is held. Speakers of national prominence will be present at these meetings. The states comprised in the New England Conference are Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. The North Atlantic Conference states are New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The Southern Conference states are North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. The Mississippi Valley Conference states are Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The Southwestern Conference will take in the states of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California. Anti-Tuberculosis workers are urged now to make plans to attend the conference in their own district or the one nearest to them. Information about any of the conferences may be obtained from the office of The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberulosis, 105 East 22d Street, New York CURABLE DEAFNESS Is it apparently slow to respond when spoken to? Does it turn one or the other ear toward you when called? Does it show lack of interest in what is going on? Does it seem dull? Does it frequently put its hand to its ear or the side of its head, as if uncomfortable? Does it cry with earache? Consult a physician if you suspect something is wrong with the child's hearing. Be sure both of its ears are all right. A consultation in time will often save nine times the trouble and expense, for neglect of a curable disorder of the ear is apt to mean incurable deafness later. THE COLORED UNDERTAKERS ASSOCIATION OF CHICAGO. There is an old saying where there is union there is strength and this holds good as far as the Colored undertakers of this city are concerned, for lately they have organized themselves into one solid body for their own mutual benefit and protection which is in every way a mighty good idea, for in far more ways than one it will aid them by standing together like one man and it shows progress and advancement on their part.

Whereas the overwhelming importance of the November election requires the united action of all Republicans throughout the State and Nation and the resolute determination to put aside factional strife, and Whereas the great State of Illinois has been lost to the Republican party by reason of continual fighting within our party ranks and our future is threatened by the continued strife of leaders who are working for personal rather than party success: Resolved, that it is the duty of all good Republicans to discourage strife and promote harmony by supporting for Governor a candidate who has no faction and whose aim is to promote party success: Resolved, that the splendid campaign of Frank L. Smith conducted throughout the State "with malice towards none and charity to all" makes him, the strongest candidate of the Republican party and we endorse him as the capable leader who can re-unite our party and carry it to certain success.

Knowing the circumstances and witnessing the manly way in which he accepted the situation, he established a closer personal friendship with men all over the state than has been possessed by any other man in Illinois public life in years. Col. Lowden did not allow his disappointment to interfere with the full performance of his duty to the nominees. He was one of the hardest workers in the campaign for the success of the party. A Worker in Every Campaign In every campaign since he has been giving valuable service. He has filled every speaking assignment asked of him. The people know him as a worker not a self-seeker. His course has brought to him the friendship and admiration of thousands of Republicans throughout the state and today, believing Col. Lowden has earned the nomination for Governor, they are for him. Active in Public Affairs Col. Lowden is a man of action and advanced thought. His experience in public affairs has not been limited to service in the restricted opportunities of a state legislature nor in holding of appointive office. He has declined all offers of this sort. He did serve his district in congress and he made an enviable record that has left its impress upon legislation that is today of benefit to the people of the nation. Big, brainy, high principled and scholarly gentleman that he is, he is conducting a campaign free from attacks upon other candidates. Remembering there is an election in November, as well as a primary nomination in September, he is not asking the people for support upon false issues, mudslinging or a discussion of other candidates. He is pointing out the burdens of conditions in the state and telling the remedies he will apply to give the highest efficiency of government in Illinois for the lowest cost to the taxpayers. Every Republican in Illinois can support and vote for Frank O. Lowden for Governor on that kind of a platform. HON.

I wish to state, that since I have been in office, I have been trying to secure places of employment for people of the race with which I am identified.

It does seem queer that there should be such severe criticisms in the daily papers when a license is restored in the Black Belt, when licenses are being restored all over the city of Chicago from time to time. There seems to be no tendency to criticize the other sixty-nine aldermen, but there does seem to be a tendency to severely criticize the man who happens to represent the Black Belt. I have no apology to make for my action in this matter for I feel that I have done right, and as long as I feel that I am doing right, I will continue to do as I have done.

Indicated interest in national get together meeting of Colored Americans to make a stand against proscription points to many delegates from many states. Boston, Mass. August 17, 1916—The proposed National Colored Citizenship Rights Congress will be held in Washington, D. C., the latter part of September. After a canvass of the situation and receiving suggestions from many race champions over the country, Rev. Byron Cunner, of Hillburn, N. Y. president of the National Equal Rights League which proposes and calls the congress in lieu largely of it's 9th annual meeting, announces the capital of the Nation as the consensus of opinion to hold this race congress on equality of rights. No place could be more fitting. An Open Congress. This National Colored Congress is to be an open one, both to delegated persons and to individual representatives of the cause who attend on their own responsibility. It is to be free and open for race conference, action and declaration. The congress will organize itself independently. The Equal Rights League will call it to order and those assembled will then create the Congress. Racial fraternizing, mutual acquaintance, unity of spirit and of progress, exchange of notes on local conditions, race unity of feeling and a future national working together for rights, a united declaration to the country of Colored Americans on color proscription, are among the purposes of this gathering. No move will impress the white American public on our presence, numbers, capacity and spirit for equal rights, like an actual national convention attended by large numbers of Colored Citizens from various states. Delegated representatives are quite advisable, and churches, civic and literary societies, fraternal organization, political and other clubs are asked to elect and send delegates. The call asks that a Citizens Equal Rights Committee be formed by public spirited citizens in each community to work up interest, hold a public meeting and send representation. Any person is at liberty to start such a Committee, act at once. Secretary Wm. Monroe Trotter at 27 Cornhill, Boston will be glad to receive suggestions and inquiries.

Several years ago he opened a second place of business at 3508 South State and continues to run both places on a high order and they are doing a booming business. Mr. Holt also owns a fine three flat building at 54th and Calumet ave., and he maintains a fine auto in front of his establishment at 35th and State in order to give his outside and inside a good joy ride whenever the notion strikes them.

One drawer is used for the stock room, and the small wares are kept therein; one 1s for patterns, one for pieces to use for patching and mending and one for clothing to be mended or fixed over.

STYLE TIPS. One Is Rows of Silk Stitch- ing Used as Trimming. Just one whisper today about the new modes for fall. Paris openings are over, and the autumn styles are pretty well settled—the Paris styles, that is American women do not always abide dy these styles. ‘They look over the new modes and select those that appeal to them most, iscarding others, and presently the selected modes appear with miraculous swiftness in the shops for everybody to buy. But there are two or three salient features in the Paris styles that cannot be disregarded, even thus early, for thelr repetition by one couturier after another foretells their sure importance as winter style features. One of these is silk stitching used as © trimming. The Paris frocks and coats are fitted by many seams and darts, all stitched conspicuously in more or less fanciful effect. Pocket flaps, cuffs, revers—they are all garnished with silk stitching, and skirts and tunes have often a score or more of rows of this stitchery, done on the ma- chine in effective chain stitch. Alpaca is a surprise for the coming season. Both alpaca and mohair are being used by some of the couturiers in tailored frocks for day wear. Some of these models are appealingly chic, as, for instance, a sample frock of black twilled alpaca with a full overskirt pressed into little box plaits and fall- ing almost to the edge of a plain foun- dation skirt. This frock has a button in back bodice with long, close sleeves and one of the enormous Japanese col- lars that are to be the rage without doubt. The bodice is loose, flat at back and front and plaited into the waist at the sides. It is attached with a stitch. ed seam to the box plaited overskirt, little tabs in the bodice extending down over the plaits to emphasize the long waisted effect. Under this moyen age bodice is a foundation fitted to the waist line and stiffened to insure trimness, though the outer button in back bodice is loose rather than close fitting. Silks for formal frocks and evening frocks, of course, and Paris whispers that satins and satin surfaced silks will be most in favor. Of these a new silk called soiree is exquisitely beauti- ful in its lights and shades of color, a most enchanting silk for evening gowns of distinction. Worth and Jenny have brought out stunning gowns in velvet, the Jenny model a slip over the head affair distinctly novel, with bands of Belgian hare for trimming. Very dis- Hnguished is an afternoon gown by Premet made of navy blue charmeuse, with a good deal of black chantilly lace draped airily in the bodice and a big Japanese collar of navy blue mous- seline draped around throat and shoul- ders. The combination of navy satin and black lace is particularly elegant and refined, and this gown of Premet is sure to make a decided hit with wo- men of conservative taste. Ag bril- llant as-the Premet gown fs, quiet and elegant {s a Klein dance frock of gold colored silk voile and cream lace, with an underslip of flesh pink silk. ‘The skirt is yards and yards wide, and at the back an odd sash forms a pannier bustle and then trails to the floor, the frock itself being short enough to re- veal the feet and ankles AUTUMN’S TULIPS.

Kirstin did not lke this at all, and one day when he had taken up a stick intending to strike her she seized a great horseshoe which was lying on the anvil and broke it in two without any difficulty. - ‘The smith was astonished. “Are you that strong?” he asked. “Then why have you never resisted when I struck you?” “Because I love you,” said Kirstin. “Tl strike you no more!” said the smith, and he kept his word. The people of Mors, however, were not friendly to the Bergman's daughter and in spite of her desire to be on pleasant terms with them avolded her and would scarcely even nod to her when they met. One day, as she and all the people were standing in the churchyard, wait- ing for the arrival of the minister, Kirstin said to her husband: “Listen to me—my father 1s coming to see me, but he is angry.” ‘As she thus warned her husband the Bergman appeared, and a most awe inspiring person he was! Indeed, he was so terrible to look at that ‘the people would have liked to creep into the earth to avoid him. “My dear daughter,” said the Berg- man, “I hear the people here will have naught to do with you, so I have come to remedy that!” “Yes, father,” replied Kirstin. “Tit toss them up in the air a bit,” said he. “Will you pitch or catch?” “Til catch,” sald Kirstin, for she feared the Bergman would handle the people very roughly. ‘Then began a merry game. ‘The Berg- man stood on one side of the church, Kirstin, his daughter, on the other, and the Bergman tossed all the people in turn over the roof of the church to Kir- stin, who deftly caught them. No one was injured, but every one was badly scared. But the plan worked to a charm, for so long as Kirstin lived she was treated with the greatest re- ‘spect and consideration. Size of the Ark. In Genesis vi, 15, we have the meas. ure of the ark to be as follows: “The length of the ark shall be 300 cubits, the breadth of it 50 cubits and the height of it 30 cubits.” We find that authorities differ somewhat as to the exact length of a cubit. It may be from eighteen inches to twenty-one inches. If we take twenty inches as the length of a cubit the ark would measure 500 feet by 831-3 feet by 50 feet. A slight variation, one way or the other, will make no material differ. ence in the final measure. Romping on the Beach.

To be sure, certain styles of “fancy” shoes were marked down last winter, but other styles quite ‘as elaborate took their place, and, as for stockings, never before have they been so varied and so far from plain ‘or simple. | There is some thought that cotton | stockings, colored ones at that, may be worn, for the price of silk stockings 1s soaring by the hour. But just at the moment silk stockings are made in hundreds of patterns. Stripes form the most prominent stocking decoration or motive. Some. times they are up and down stripes, sometimes stripes running around: ‘sometimes they extend the whole Jength of the stockinz, sometimes only halfway down or halfway up. There are checked stockings, too, and plaid ones, and there are stock- ings with odd and trrecular designs. Then, too, regular clocking at the ankles, in colors or black on white, is @ prominent feature of the summer ‘stockings. Clocks are especially smart for wear with sport shoes, and they add to the effectiveness of low shoes worn with short skirts One black and white combination shows half inch stripes extending from ‘the toe to the calf, ending there in ar- ‘rowheads. Another shows a panel of ‘stripes extending the full length of the stocking, about four inches across the front. One of the newer sorts of evening stockings show bended embroidery. This {s in line with the vogue for bead- ed embroidery and sequins and span- gles that is so strong for evening frocks. Inserts of real Ince, too, in fine silk stockings are used for evening. And another evening idea is a white silk stocking painted with flowers to match a painted kid slipper. This, of course, is so unusual that it may’ al- most be considered a freak style. But it is interesting and is mentioned for what it is worth. | PUNISH TO EDUCATE. Parents Should Never Act on Impulse | of Moment. Never punish a child on the impulse of the moment. The correcting of a lit- tle child is a very serious matter—a matter to be thought over earnestly and (if you are the kind that prays) even prayerfully, Always keep in mind that true punishment fs not revenge: neither is it vindication nor retaliation it {s, or should be, nothing more or less than education. The time for pun- ishment affords you an invaluable op- portunity to teach a youngster but one of the many, many lessons of life it must learn. ‘Therefore it is extremely important that you do not punish a child when you are angry. In anger you will more than likely be unjust and also too severe. In anger you are in a fair way to lose your own respect and the child's. See that the punishment fits the fault and that ft has within it the power to teach the difference between right and ‘wrong in the particular instance under consideration. Cool Frock.

Most Housewives Don’t Know Food Values to the Extent of Giving « Family, Especially Growing Children, the Proper Proportions of Protein. One of the most important things that every housewife should know about food is its value as nourishment for the body. We must in fact have foods that feed. There are several kinds of values that all human bodies need in the food they eat and with- out which they cannot be healthy and well nourished. These are: Material to build the body and repair waste. Material to give heat and strength. Material to enrich and cleanse the blood. ‘Material to form bone. : Let us take them in order. It may be sald of the body building material that, in a sense, it is the most important of all, because we cannot live without it, while we might go on llving for some time without most of the others (though we could not long re- main healthy). Cheese, lentils, haricot beans, split peas, meat, fish, oatmeal, ‘eggs, nuts and, to a somewhat less ex- tent, good bread, all have much body building material. Fats of all kinds, such as butter, cream, suet, dripping, margarine and nut butter, give warmth and enerzy, strength and power to work. Sugar, molasses and golden sirup are also heat giving, and so are starchy foods, such as potatoes, rice.and cornstarch. ‘These foods, however, contain very lit- tle body building material. Vegetables and fruit (other than peas, beans and lentils) contain scarce- ly.any of the body building materials, but they give the body what no other foods give—that is, certain juices which purify and enrich the blood and with- out which no one can be healthy. It is these precious juices which are thrown away when vegetables are bolied in water and the water poured down the sink. If these juices were taken by people every day in properly cooked vegetables there would not be nearly so much money spent at the drug store, as they are the best pos- sible form of natural medicine. ‘The bone forming materials are to be found principally in milk and cheese, good bread, oatmeal and in onions and many green vegetables. They are ab- solutely necessary for growing children. ‘The result of children not getting enough of them is only too often to be seen in bad teeth and stunted growth. | Grape Juice Pudding. One cupful of grape juice, one cup- fal of water, one cupfui of sugar, one fourth cupful of taploca, the juice of one lemon, a pinch of salt and stiffly beaten whites of three eggs. Soak the taploca for fifteen minutes in a cup of water; place in saucepan, add the sugar; when hot add the grape juice. Cook ‘until the tapioca is transparent, then add the lemon juice and salt.

The arrangement of the stripes affords a fovel detail. The odd fiat collar with flat satin tie and deep cuffs are of white pique. The broad brimmed hat and high button boots are details of interest. A gown of this type is especially useful for morning and informal wear.

I wish I might never have to dangle my profession on a label. I am always embarrassed when I am forced blatantly to expose it—for example, to the frank questions of the doctor's secretary or of a customs official. "Profession?" they ask, and I cringe before the admission, "I am a writer." I don't feel ladylike when I say the words. On such occasions I could give my entire remuneration for an Atlantic essay to be able to say, "I am a laundress."—Wintref Kirkland in Atlantic.

President Chief Clerk Comptroller Building Ave., CHICAGO The record for fasting, so far as our best information goes, is held by Graine, a French murderer, who determined to starve himself to death and from day to day after his arrest refused to eat. In spite of every effort on the part of his keepers, who first tried to tempt him to eat by placing the most dainty meals in his cell and when that failed attempted feeding him by force, he held out for sixty-three days, at the end of which period he died. With the exception of Graine's case the longest well authenticated instance of fasting on record is that accomplished by Glovanni Succi, who lived at the Royal Aquarium, London, for forty-five days without food. An Emperor's Compliment. Napoleon III. had his full share of the Bonaparte wit, tinged with a kindliness all his own. At a ball at the Tulierles a middle aged officer and his fair partner came to grief. As the mortified veteran scrambled to his feet the emperor extended a hand to him and, turning to the lady, remarked: "Madame, this is the second time I have seen the colonel fall. The first time was on the battlefield of Magenta." Mark Twain's Definition: It is told of Mark Twain that during a conversation with a young lady of his acquaintance he had occasion to mention the word drydock. "What is a drydock, Mr. Clemens?" she asked. "A thirsty physician." replied the humorist. Search Marks.

In one respect only Pennsylvania is unchanged and unchangeable. Men have dealt harshly and shamefully by her, but nature has crowned her with beauty. Her founder, knowing nothing of his broad tracts, save that they were forest lands, gave to the new province the pretty name of Sylvania, and Charles II., always a pastmaster of words, prefixed the Penn, for which pleasant conceit every son and daughter of the state owes him a grateful thought. Thus the word Pennsylvania perpetuates history, honors a noble name and symbolizes the loveliness of the land, a land of woods and waters, hills and valleys, fat farms and rocky solitudes. The shrinking engine that drags its trainload of passengers through the valley of the Junata, across ridge after ridge of the Alleghenies, past the Tuscarora gap and the succession of narrows—Long Narrows, Jack's Narrows, Packsaddle Narrows—has traversed a country so widely and nobly beautiful that, in Europe, it would attract the tourists of the world.—Agnes Repplier in American Magazine. Sitting on a Tack. A thing is tragic or humorous according to the point of view. The man who sits on a tack does not share the onlookers' amusement. In fact, he is not only palmed at his own misfortune, but he is pained because he occasioned some one else to find a degree of pleasure in his unseemly plight. Now, it is perfectly safe to make this positive statement in this connection—the person who witnessed the other's unfortunate encounter with the tack never deliberately sits on the same tack himself. Indeed, he is particularly cautious about sitting down anywhere soon thereafter without looking for a tack. Nor is this an indictment of tacks. Tacks serve a very real and useful purpose in this world, but they have their place, which is not in localities where they may be sat upon.—William C. Lengel in Hoggson Magazine. Caught Him Both Ways. "I ask you to pay me this bill," said a tailor to a waggle debtor. "Do you owe anybody anything?" asked the wag. "No sir." replied the tallor. A day or two afterward the tailor called again. Our wag was not at his wits' end, so, turning to his creditor, he said: "Are you in debt to anybody?" "I haven't got the money," replied the tailor, with a woebegone countenance. "That's just my case, my dear sir. I am glad to perceive that you can appreciate my position. I always respected your judgment, sir. Give me your hand, sir." -London Mall. Some Geographical Doubles. Accidental doubles of geography are very curious. There are the two totally unconnected Galician, the one in Austria-Hungary and the one in Spain. As to the Carpathians, the doubling occurs between the ancient and the modern atlases. On the map of the ancients we find a people named Carpi in the north of what is now Hungary and north of them the Carpatus mountains. But "Carpathian" in Vergil, Horace and Ovid means something quite different. The Carpathian sea was the sea between Rhodes and Crete, from the island of Carpathus, now Scarpanto, and the "Carpathian old man" was Proteus, who lived and no doubt practiced his quick change tricks there.-London Spectator. Eooled His Subjects King Erricus of Sweden publicly confessed that he was a sorcerer and magician. He was the owner of an enchanted cap, which he pretended enabled him to control the spirits and change the direction of the winds at pleasure. So firmly did his subjects believe in the supernatural powers of their ruler that, when a storm arose they would exclaim, "Ah, the king is again wearing the magic cap!" What She Misses. "I suppose you miss your husband terribly?" "No; I can't say that I do. I was a golf widow for years before he died, but it does seem strange not to have him phone that he is going to be late for dinner." - Detroit Free Press. PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT. Proper Sleep. To the average individual in the modern civilized community, with its various opportunities and limitations, there is good reason to believe that a proper amount of sleep is the chief health conserver. All about us life, both animate and inanimate, obeys the laws of nature and passes into some form resembling sleep, usually while the sun is beneath the horizon. Authorities on health and hygiene point out more and more the need of securing at least eight consecutive hours of sleep. Where this cannot be done as a routine, day after day, they advice that the proper amount of sleep be made up some time during the twenty-four hours. The universal practice of this policy no doubt would do more than any other single factor to promote health and prevent disease. Invasions of Russia. The first great invasion of Russia was that of the Huns, a race of fierce and warlike Asiatics, who swept over eastern Europe in the fourth century. In the thirteenth century the golden horde of Tartars captured Russia, and from 1238 to 1462 the country was under the yoke of the Mongols. In 1395 Tamerlane invaded Russia, but retreated. In 1462 the Slavs again gained the ascendency, and Ivan III. (the Great) founded the present monarchy and introduced firearms and cannon into Russia. In 1479 there was another great invasion of Tartars, but they were driven out. In 1613 the present royal family, the Romanoffs, gained the throne. In 1700 the Swedes invaded Russia, but after several victories they were routed. The last great invasion of Russia was that of Napoleon. His disastrous retreat from Russia, in which most of his army was destroyed, marked the beginning of the end of his power.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. An Invisible Clock A public clock which can be heard, but not seen, is one of London's curious possessions. It is in the tower of St. Mary Abbot's church, Kensington, and is the only public clock in the immediate neighborhood. It chimes the quarters and the hours, but commits itself no further. It has no dial, no hands, no outward and visible sign of any kind to show that it is a clock. This eccentricity, it is explained, is the result of two causes—one aesthetic, the other financial. When the tower was built in 1879 a clock was suggested as an afterthought, but the architect protested that it would mean the addition of fifteen feet to the tower and the ruin of its cherished proportions. A second point was that the church, having but slender funds, could not afford a clock with a dial. A compromise was arrived at by installing the works of a chiming clock in the belfry without dial or hands.—Pearson's. Profitable Pebbles The fint pebble industry gives occupation to many women and children along the French coast lying between Havre and Dieppe. The pebbles collected in and near Havre are selected for their spherical shape and are used exclusively for pulverizing in certain industries, particularly in the manufacture of cement and in copper mines, being employed in the interior of large cylinders. In the cement industry the slow turning of the pebbles produces a powder which becomes an ingredient of the cement, while in the copper industry the metal is freed of all impurities by the grinding operation. The same kind of pebbles is used for crushing purposes in the manufacture of paint. Another important use of fint pebbles is in the manufacture of porcelain, the pebbles for this purpose being found between Fecamp and Calais.—Philadelphia Press. A "Friday" Ship A true story is told of a skeptical Massachusetts captain who way back in the early years of the republic determined to exhibit the fallacy of the Friday superstition. He contracted on a certain Friday for the building of a ship, and it was arranged that the keel of this vessel was laid on Friday, that she was launched on a Friday, named Friday, commenced loading on a Friday and hauled into the stream on the same day of the week. To add to the possibilities of disaster, a negro cook named Friday was engaged, and, thus fully freighted with the slister name, the Friday sailed on a Friday, bound to a port in the West Indies. From that day to this no tidings of the ill fated craft have been received. Salt In the Spectrum. The extreme delicacy of the spectrum test is illustrated by the fact stated by Lommel that the three-millionth part of a milligram of a salt of sodium, an imperceptible particle of dust to the naked eye, is yet capable of coloring the flame of a candle yellow and of giving the yellow lines of sodium in the spectroscope. Indeed, sodium in the form of a common salt (sodium chloride) is so universally present as an impalpable dust floating in the air that it is next to impossible to get a spectrum which does not show the sodium lines. Knew the Brand. "Is that a Landseer, Mr. Croesus?" asked the visitor, pausing before the painting. "No," replied the host; "reckon it is a Durham.

"Yes," replied Mr. Chuggins. "And if it tries to start up and run away don't stop it.

As water leaves the heights and gathers in the depths, so is wisdom received from on high and preserved by a slowly soul—Talmud. Kindness of Nature "She gives us all faces, but we can pick our own teeth."—Harvard Lampoon. Stupidity has no friends and wants none.—Horace Greeley. Pure woolens are adulterated even more than silk because they are in greater demand and also because they are quite easy to imitate. Many a yard of cloth sold as "pure wool" contains from 30 to 60 per cent cotton. Blankets sold as "half wool" have frequently been found to contain only 10 per cent of pure wool. There are machines today which cleverly wrap wool around cotton threads, and the finished product has every appearance of being "all wool." Another method of adulterating is by taking cotton cloth and "felting" short woolen threads upon its surface by means of heat, moisture and pressure. A purchaser may be fully convinced from the appearance and feeling of cloth that it is all wool, but the only safe method is to take home the sample and make tests. Immense the sample of so called wool in oil of vitriol for about two minutes. This will destroy the cotton, but the wool will not be affected. Another test is to molisten a sample with 50 per cent nitric acid. This will turn the wool yellow, but the cotton will retain its color.—Washington Post. Harvest From One Ad Do you know what was the largest harvest ever reaped from an advertisement? It was the settlement in Pennsylvania of 100,000 German colonists at Germantown, which was the first German settlement in America. We also know that in fifty years double that many thousand Germans came to William Penn's colony. Furthermore, history tells us that wars and religious persecutions in Germany caused this then unparalleled exodus of men and women. But what brought them to Pennsylvania and so made of the German commonwealth? An advertisement written by William Penn himself and distributed among the Germans along the Rhine, who had been stricken by the Thirty Years' war.—Philadelphia Ledger. Won by Good Looks. One man in English history owed his success in life almost wholly to his good looks. It was George Villiers, first duke of Buckingham. James I. was wanting a private secretary, and when young Villiers applied for the position the king was much impressed with the beauty of his person and the gracefulness of his manners. He gave him the place, and that was the beginning of a great career. From that time to the end of James' reign the history of England was in great part the personal history of George Villiers, the adventurer—first the cupbearer, in a few weeks knighted, then made gentleman of the bedchamber and knight of the Order of the Garter; then successively he was made a baron, a viscount, an earl, a marquis and lord high admiral of England. Snubbed the Composer Gustav Mahler had a queer experience in Munich one day for which his name was partly responsible. His new symphony was being rehearsed, and he took advantage of an hour's intermission to get some fresh air. "On returning to the building," says a Munich paper, "he lost his way and tried to reach the hall through a corridor in which plasterers were at work. 'You cannot pass through here,' he was told. 'But I am Mahler.' (Mahler is the German for painter.) 'You look it,' was the unsympathetic reply of the man who blocked his way. 'We are not ready for the painters yet, so run on.' And the composer, realizing that argument would be useless, plunged into the labyrinth and finally reached his destination."

CHICAGO PAGE EGET ‘The religion inculcated by Buddha had certain cardinal points—the en- couragement of the ascetic life, the maintenance of virtue, the exhortation to persons of all castes and both sexes to aim at deliverance from the evils of existence and, lastly, the attainment of Nirvana. But in Tibet Buddhism has been grafted on to the earlier devil worship of the people, and a religion has been evolved better expressed as Lamaism, or modified devil worship, so that in addition to the Buddhas and Bodisats there have also come to be tutelary and guardian deities of a terrifying and malignant aspect, whose duty it is to defend the faith and the faithful people from external attack. These Geities are depicted in grotesque and terrible forms in all the monasteries, generally in violently colored fresco paintings at the entrance. — National Geographic Magazine. Paste This on the Family Tool Chest. The idea of this cabinet is to furnish amusement to the family when they have scratched up all the furniture and done all the damage elsewhere they can think of; therefore Do not replace or put back anything that you take out of these drawers. Try, if possible, to select and remove from this cabinet some article or tool that is absolutely indispensable, leav- ing it preferably out in the back yard. If you have anything hanging about your room that is of no earthly use you might store it in one of these Grawers. Remember that the main idea of hav- ing this cabinet on the premises is gradually to fill it with utterly useless things. And remove from it at the same time all the useful things. Patience!

Size or number Seems of no consequence. —<$<$<$$<$<$<——_—_—_ One of the most rarely witnessed of natural phenomena, but one that has often been discussed at scientific meet- ings and that always awakens wonder when seen, is the so called “gréen flash” occasionally visible at the mo- ment of the disappearance of the sun behind a clear horizon. The observer's eye must be fixed upon the rim of the sun as it disappears in order to eateh the phenomenon. One authority tells us that he has seen the green flash, although rarely, at ,the instant of the setting of a bright star. Among the explanations offered is one based upor the optical principle of complementary colors. If one looks at the sun and then closes the eyes a green disk will be perceived. A sensitive eye might be similarly affected by a brilliant star. eee Re eae Wain In some ways which might nowadays be called “sentimental” the laws of an- cient Wales were in advance of those of today.

Lioyd in his “His tory of Wales” mentions that in some of the codes (which were, as a rule, very severe on theft) a remarkable provision exempted from punishment “the starving man who, after begging for three days-and recelving nothing, helped himself to the food which he needed in order to keep him alive ‘That every man had the right to live was a principle of the law, and the sentiment of the country demanded that every person of substance should keep open house ngt only for ordinary travelers, but also for the destitute and the friendless.” African Grosbecks.

It ts recommended a portion of the island swept by the strong trade winds be fenced to prevent depredations by sheep and wild goats. Members of the board say the {introduction of horses on the island would assist in the dis tribution of seed. Tt ts also proposed to construct sev- eral large reservoirs to conserve the rainwater that falls so plentifully at all times. Algaroba trees planted there ten years ago have reached a substan. tial growth. COLORS EMPLOYED ON FARM. Barnhart Tells How He Made the Whole Place Yellow and White. Reading, Pa.—Henry A Barnbart ef Indiana told the committee of the state board of agriculture, in session bere, of his efforts in behalf of the artistic side of farming. He illustrated this by citing that his big barns and outbuildings are all painted yellow, with white trimmings: the farmhouse is painted white, with yellow trimmings; the cattle have the same yellow color, because they are Guernseys; not a horse is used except he is yellow and has a white mark on his head and white feet. The shepherd dog is yellow. with a white band around bis neck: there are yellow col- ored chickens, yellow colored squirrels. the place being known as the “Color Scheme Farm of Indiana.” BORN WITH EIGHT TEETH.

He gave Delmonico the recipe, and Del gave the delicacy the name it bears today, while that of the benefactor is never heard outside of the little circle in which he lived. Well, the creator uf the dish was Benjamin Wenburg, a New York bro- ker. He used to take his luncheons at Delmonico’s downtown place, not many blocks from the Battery. When he told Del how to make lobster a la Newburg it had no name then—Del put it on his bill and called it lobster a la Wen- burg. ‘Wenburg got angry about it and told Delmonico if he didn’t remove his mame he would feed elsewhere.
