The Broad Ax

THE GREAT REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION,WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT IN THE HISTORY OF THE G. O. P. IS RUNNING AT FULL BLAST AT THE COLISEUM United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, As Its Temporary and Permanent Chairman, and His Keynote Speech Was Full of Logic, Horse Sense and Eloquence All Signs Strongly Indicate at the Present Writing, That Major General Leonard Wood, Who Is Still Far in the Lead Over All of His Competitors, Will Be Nominated President of The United States Mayor William Hale Thompson Continues His Bitter and Broadside Fight Against Governor Frank O. Lowden, and It Looks as Though That Mayor Thompson Has Put Him Out of the Running for President of the United States. The Chief Executive of This City and More Than Twenty Other Delegates from Cook County Will Vote Against Him in the Convention, for They Are Not in Favor of Permitting Him to Buy His Way Into the White House With Cash. Hon. Lawrence Y. Sherman Succeeds Mayor Thompson As the Illinois Member of the Republican National Commit- The Reception Tendered to the Delegates to the Republican National Convention and Visitors by the Appomattox Club, Was a Brilliant Affair. A grand reception was tendered the delegates to the National Republican Convention at the Appomattox Club, 3632 Grand Boulevard, Monday evening. The members which are over 500 in number, spared no pains to entertain the delegates and friends most cordially. The spacious club was decorated in the National colors draped artistically throughout the club house. Palms were part of the decoration which velvet and burnt orange ostrich tips, Mrs. F. V. Babb, pink satin and white georgette trimmed with beads, Mrs. Howard, navy blue satin; Mrs. E. Renfroe, cream lace with a sack of a wonderful shade of blue; Mrs. Dixon, attractive blue taffeta; Mrs. Thomas, Copenhagen blue beautifully designed with white beads; Mrs. Cunningham, gray taffeta tastefully embroidered with pale pink; Mrs. Chas A. Wilson, white satin. The following were among the Tuesday morning the Republican National Convention convened at the Coliseum in this city, and long before the morning session began the Coliseum was filled to the brim with the biggest and the most prominent Republican politicians from all parts of this broad land and from the isles beyond the sea. Many of those who make and unmake Presidents were well to the front on the platform, and some of them who pull the last long string which permits all but one of the presidential candidates to plunge headlong into his political grave are carefully kept in the rear out of sight of the maddened and unreasoning crowd who flock to the Coliseum during its sessions. The distinguished honor of serving as Temporary and Permanent Chairman of the Convention very gracefully fell upon the broad and statesmanlike shoulders of Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, the eminent United States Senator from Massachusetts, and his keynote speech was the greatest effort of his long and eventful political career. While delivering his history-making oration he bitterly scored President Woodrow Wilson up one side and down the other for his utter failure in being unable to fully or to completely grasp and solve the many grave problems and important and far-reaching questions which are now confronting the American people, which cannot be settled until they are settled right. Senator Lodge's keynote speech is worth reading several times, for it is chuck full of wholesome meat and sound logic. None of the wisest high chiefs of RESOLUTION PRESENTED TO THE COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS OF THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION BY HON. OSCAR PRIEST AND, OTHER COLLORED DELEGATES. "All American citizens, without distinction or discrimination on account of race, color, nationality or religion, should be protected at home as well as abroad, and be safe and secure in the exercise and enjoyment of all of the civil and political rights to which they are lawfully entitled. "To that end we favor such legislation as will fix and prescribe a uniform qualification of electors throughout the United States, at least for the election of Presidential electors and Senators and Representatives in Congress. If, in the meantime, any State should, for the purpose of violating the Constitution of the United States, make or enforce any law or regulation which would prevent certain persons from voting at such elections, who would otherwise be entitled to do so, the representation in Congress from that State should be reduced in the manner prescribed by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. "We favor such legislation as will make lynchings and other forms of mob violence crimes against the United States as well as against the States in which they are committed. "We favor such legislation as will THE BROAD AX the Republican party at this writing can tell dead sure who will be permitted to ride the Presidential horse for a dark horse with a white rider may be selected, but to a blind man sitting away up in the tree, the indications are that Major General Leonard Wood will be nominated for President of the United States. It was stated in these columns right after the Springfield convention, that "mighty hot times were ahead for the big Republican politicians in Illinois." and our predictions or words have come true, for Mayor William Hale Thompson and Governor Frank O. Lowden have locked horns for good in a most deadly combat and Mavor Thompson and twenty to twenty-five other delegates in this city and in Cook county will vote against Governor Lowden right on the floor of the Convention hall, for they honestly feel that Governor Lowden is unworthy to seek that honored position after it has been proven that he bought up delegates, white and colored, with cold cash in his mad effort to ride into the White House in his private Pullman car, and as long as Governor Lowden fails to have behind him the solid delegation from his home state the chances are ten to one that he never will land the nomination for President of the United States. Not being willing to assist Governor Lowden to buy his way into the White House with "tainted money," Mayor Thompson refused to enter the contest for re-election as National committeeman, and Hon. Lawrence Y. Sherman has succeeded him as the Illinois member of the Republican National Committee. prevent the application to interstate passengers, State laws or regulations providing separate accommodations for white and colored passengers upon public conveyances." Danville, Va.—A wedding ceremony unparalleled in this town of stern Southern beliefs was performed a few days ago when a white couple were made man and wife by a Negro minister, who was asked to officiate. A couple came here from Franklin County, obtained a license and went to the home of a well known Baptist minister, who told them he could not marry them because the man had been divorced, and that there was an agreement among the white clergy to perform no ceremony for a man or woman who had been defendant in such action. The couple then drove to the humble home of a Negro preacher who had no such scruples and the ceremony was performed. Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Richardson, of Los Angeles, Cal., who were residents of Chicago ten years ago, are visiting this city, stopping at 6013 Langley avenue. Mr. Richardson is successfully engaged in the real estate business in his home town and Mrs. Richardson is an active member of all the women's clubs in Los Angeles. CHICAGO, ILL..

Shot at Thrice, Nabe Man; Gets Tribune Prize. Because Patrolman Jeremiah Bowers, colored, "kept his face to the foe," despite a murderous pistol fire on the night of May 13, the Tribune awards him its $100 bravery prize for May. While he was closing in on a South Side bad man in a poolroom at 3701 South La Salle street, Officer Bowers was struck three times by bullets, which riddled his uniform. That none of the bullets caused his death is regarded as one of the miracles of police department history. Bowers had been told that Roy Charlton, a barber, had fired several shots near Thirty-seventh and La Salle streets, and walked into the pool room in search of him. Charlton drew a revolver and blazed away without warning. The Bullet Proof Cop. Let the report of Capt. M. J. Gallery, of the Deering street station tell how Bowers "kept his face to the foe": "The first bullet hit Bowers over the heart going through his steel spectacle case, but being deflected sufficiently to save him. The officer did not flinch, though the bullet staggered him, but kept on coming toward the murderous man with the gun. "The second bullet struck Bowers in the abdomen, driving his watch out of his pocket and being deflected by the chain and watch ring. "The third bullet was fired when the two were at close quarters. Charlton shoved his gun into the officer's groin and fired. Wings His Assailant. The powder burned Officer Bowers' trousers, but for some unknown [Image of a man with dark hair, wearing a dark suit and a white shirt, with a decorative border around the image]. HON. LAWRENCE Y.

After the third shot, Bowers sent a bullet through his assailant's wrist and the battle was over. "The first bullet spoiled my overcoat, the second my vest, and the third my trousers. If it had been my head, I would have had only a $3 cap to buy instead of a $100 uniform," was Officer Bowers' comment on the pistol battle. parts in their respective fields, follow: "The Bible More than Literature;" "The Church Serving the Neighborhood;" "The Social Message of Jesus;" "Bettering the Home—a Church Task;" "Presenting the Social Message and Program to the Church;" "The Kind of Christianity Needed to Reconstruct the World;" "The Church and Community Help;" "Sermons for Children and Young People;" "Putting the Social Program into Action;" "The Colored Man's Contribution to Christianity;" Fi- MINISTERS AND AGRICULTURAL LEADERS WILL HOLD CONFERENCE AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE, JUNE 22-23-UNION MEETINGS WITH TEACHERS-DISTINGUISHED LEADERS ON PROGRAMS—CHRIST'S SOCIAL MESSAGE WILL BE PRESENTED.

Now that summer days are upon us, everyone more or less feels the need of relaxation or that he or she needs a vacation. The time is not inopportune to ask the question, "what is to become of our music during these summer days? Quite true we must have a chance to rest the brain and if possible should even hit us away to some secluded spot where hours in listless dreaming far from the maddening strife of a busy hot, and dirty city. But, my dear friends, it is a bad policy to leave off music study from June until September or as some do until October. That is too long a period; for music is a shy and dainty maiden and when too long neglected, is apt to become backward and hard to coax into line when we again seek her. Few of us study music so earnestly and seriously as to make it necessary for us to give it up for a period of from:three to four months if we expect to make any progress. I very much fear that we are inclined to exaggerate the amount of time put into music study. Have we taken into account that in order to acquire even a common school education, we must spend five days a week in the school room and that goes on for a number of years? How much time do we spend in the studio? One period or at most two periods per week of half hour each! And yet how many of us complain that we do not get the results as rapidly as we expect and sometimes, in fact more often than not, blame it on the teacher. Out of the time allotted to studio work, how many times do we miss our lessons during/the school year? Have you stopped to consider? We are inclined to let everything interfere with out music study and then when summer comes, we are the first to want to take a vacation. One student offers as an excuse that he is feeling badly, another has a friend visiting, still another is moving, and even others offer the flimsy excuse that he did not practice this week so cannot take his lesson today. Whose fault is it? Certainly not the teacher's. The fact of the matter is, that no student should miss his lessons except in cases of severe illness or absence from the city. In cases where the student is to remain in another city for five or six weeks, he should seek out a good teacher and continue his work with that teacher until he returns to his home city. Let the student realize that by absenting himself from the studio, he not only upsets the regime and inconveniences the teacher by causing him to lose both time and money, but that he retards his own progress, and he should not hope to obtain the same results as the painstaking, conscientious student who is punctual in attendance and prompt to execute the instructions given by the teacher. So, students of music, see to it that some serious thought is given to music during the vacation period as to how you can best profit musically. Young people who are in school during the winter months, should make greater progress musically during the summer vacation since they do not have school studies to prepare and too, the days are long and light and the morning hours pleasant so that it ought to be a real joy to get up early and practice an hour or two even before breakfast, or at any rate before going to the parks or before doing some of the other things that take up our time and thought during the day. Systematic practice properly guided by a competent instructor can produce nothing else but good. Nor must the parents neglect the great duty of seeing to it that Mary or John puts time regularly in the discharge of her or his musical duties; for the teacher cannot do it all. The parents must help. The teacher is the guide post and can tell the student what to do and can to some was lead by General Frank S. Dickson and Mrs. Samuel A. McGowan, who were followed by Col. Otis B. Duncan and Miss Vivian Harsh and by almost one thousand other men and women who presented a very beautiful picture to behold. At no place in the United States in the past has there ever been a more notable gathering of the most representative men and women of the race than those assembled at the Armory during the Eighth Regiment ball. The ladies were all richly or elegantly costumed and many of them were like unto almost undressed fairy queens. extent demonstrate how it should be done, but it is up to the student to do. A Revival of Things Musical. The last two weeks have been busy weeks among the music folk of Chicago. What with several musicals each week, sometimes two or three in an evening, the activities of the musical world have been of unusual interest. Of special interest to parents and friends were the two recitals given by the pupils of Miss Estella Bonds on the evening of May 27th, at St. Mark's M. E. Church, and Mme. Martha B. Anderson on June 1st at Bethesda Baptist Church. In both instances there were numbers of persons present to hear what these embryonic musicians had to offer. Those who came were not disappointed, for during the rendition of the programs, there were many moments of genuine pleasure and musical interest. A promising future awaits those who possess the patience and tact to work. Thq Chicago Piano College presented Mrs. Martha B. Mitchell in a Post Graduate Recital on June 3rd, at Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church. A Beethoven Sonata, Etudes, by Kullak and Chopin, Whims by Schumann, Polonaise by Chopin and a Concerto by Beethoven were the offerings of Mrs. Mitchell. She was assisted by Mr. David Mitchell, tenor, who although suffering from the inconveniences of a severe cold, displayed a voice of a real tenor quality. He sang his numbers with poise and understanding. Miss Eleanor Godfrey played the orchestral parts to the Concerto on a second piano. Since we last heard Mrs. Mitchell she has gained much in poise and assurance and rendered her program in a way creditable both to her teachers and herself and gratifying to her friends. "Whims" and the "Concerto" were especially well rendered. On the evening of June 4th Miss Cleota Collins was presented in song recital at Grace Presbyterian Church, assisted by our own Harrison, vviolinist, Emanuel and T. Theodore Taylor, accompanies. Although we were unable to attend the Recital, we understand that Miss Collins did herself and her sponsors credit. While in the city she was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Rollin R. Dent. NEGRO RROGRESS. At the annual convention of the Southern Sociological Congress, which met in Washington, D. C., in May reports were made which showed truly remarkable progress in a race only fifty years removed from slavery. At emancipation Negroes owned $20,000,000 worth of property; they now own $1,100,000,000 worth. They also own 600,000 homes, one-fourth of all they occupy. With the greater amount of money earned by Negroes during and since the war, there is a growing disposition, which should be encouraged, to acquire more property. "One who owns real estate gives a hostage to society." The long list of Negroes who have attained prominence in science, art, and literature lays at rest forever any question of capacity in this race. The report on education was most encouraging, showing decided interest at present on the part of school officials and others in providing more opportunities for the secondary education of Negroes, there being now sixty-nine Negro high schools in the South. The effort to standardize the colored normal schools and colleges is also significant, as well as the fact that all the Southern States have increased their appropriations to State schools for Negroes, and that Federal aid has been offered through the Smith-Lever and Smith-Hughes Acts. Illiteracy has been reduced from 90 per cent, in 1865, to 30.4 per cent in 1910—Southern Workman. Mr. J. M. Singleton and Mr. B.

TWENTY-TWO NEGRO MARTYRS OF UGANDA BEAUTIFIED BY CHURCH. Rome.—The ceremony of beautification of twenty-two Negroes who died, martyrs for the faith, in Uganda, under King Mwanga, was celebrated with great pomp in the basil- M. B. ica of St. Peter's. Cardinals, bishops, and other officials, richly gowned, with missionary priests worn by their labors in torrid climates, passed up the center aisle of St. Peter's to receive the announcement of beautification from Pope Benedict. During the afternoon the pontiff descended to St. Peter's, accompanied by the cardinals, to venerate the pictures and relics of these humble saints. COMES TO CONVENTION. Hon. John T.

BEATICITUS INCREASING. According to numerous reports received daily by the Department of Health, beatificus back porchibus rugibus is on the increase in Chicago. In some localities it appears to have assumed a violent form and has been the direct and impelling cause of that chilly and uncomfortable feeling among neighbors, who heretofore have lived below and above one in perfect peace and harmony. A little study of the reports, while all of them indicate a loss of temper with no doubt a noticeable rise in temperature, flushed faces and accelerated heart beats, shows that certain cases have assumed an exceedingly aggrivating character and are likely to prove serious, unless relief of some sort is obtained. The records of the Department also show that this pestiferous malady, while both endemic and sporadic, becomes epidemic among certain classes of housewives in the spring and rages with more or less intensity until the coming of cold weather. Another peculiar fact about this disease is that those who have it in the worst form do not report it and never complain to the Department of any annoyance or inconvenience to themselves on account of it| Strange, as it may appear, it is only those who are free from the malady who suffer at the hands of those who are the most grievously afflicted. While not difficult to diagnose, it is frequently almost impossible to locate the person afflicted on the testimony of the one affected. The usual treatment, after definite diagnosis by a Sanitary inspector, is a notice to cease all back porch exercise with rugs. If this advice is not strictly followed, a summons into court and the imposition of a fine usually effects a complete and permanent cure. In this connection the attention of back porch rug beaters is called to the following section of the Sanitary Code: "Beating of rugs, Carpets, etc.—(Dust, Feathers, Noxious Matters) No lime, ashes, coal, dry sand, hair feathers or other substance that is in a similar manner liable to be blown by the wind, shall be sieved or agitated or exposed; nor shall any mat carpet or cloth be shaken or beaten nor any cloth, yarn, garment or material or substance be scoured, cleaned or hung nor any business be conducted over or in any street or public place, or where particles therefrom set in motion thereby will pass into any such street or public place, or into any occupied premises; and no usual or reasonable precaution shall be omitted by any person to prevent fragments or other substances from falling, or dust and light material flying into any street, place or building, from any building or erection while the sage is being altered, repaired or demolished." section is a fine of not less than $10 The penalty for violation of this Section is a law of not less than $10 The penalty for violation of this nor more than $10 for each offense.

He worried when he felt ill and he worried because he felt well. In fact, he worried about everything, and the smaller the thing the more he worried. He worried and sighed and moaned and worried. "Ah," sighed he, "if I could but make this world over, I would make it dif- ferent." Foolish man that he was! If he would have stopped long enough to think a healthy thought, he would have learned that in changing his way of thinking he would have made for himself a different world. QUINN CHAPEL A. M.

Chicago, Ill.—I have a few things to say to you this week, for I have been some where and have seen some few things, and there is no use of seeing things good and things bad unless I tell some one about them, hence you will prepare to listen to me this week and when I am through I will take my seat and sing a few lines of "Prais God From Whom All Blissings Flow." my mind now, the white woman has a soul, a heart, and her sympathy goes out for her sister in black, the only thing they lack is leadership, and when you can get a good strong woman to lead out in a movement which is for good, and to realize that she can come among us without our black rubbing off, then something is going to happen, and something is doing too. I have met some of them Where I was and what I was doing when I wrote to you the last time I am not prepared to say, but I do know that I have been to Knoxville and saw Editor Porter putting his brains on paper, and then I spent a few minutes at Knoxville College, and made it from there to Johnson City, then to Lynchburg. They believe in doing things in Lynchburg. I was the guest of Dr. R. C. Woods, president of the Virginia Theological Seminary and college, and one of the best men of our race. He is doing things up there in Virginia, and right by his side was his wife and a number of professors, and then under him holding him up to the world was that wealthy deacon Adolphus Humbles. They unveiled a monument to the fallen hero, Prof. Gregory W. Hayes, who was the first president of the school, and a man of great ability and the inspirer of men. Virginia honored him, and he served Virginia and served well. He was the man of the hour during his life, and I pause to place a flower at his grave. He won his place. I had the pleasure of coming in touch with the leader of the Virginia Baptists, Dr. T. J. King, who is indeed a Christian gentleman, and a man who is being followed by over two hundred thousand Baptists hence because of his leadership and great ability they put nearly $24,000 on the table at the state convention in May and have declared that they are going to put $50,000 down for mission and education next May in Washington, D. C. That will be going some and I hope to have the pleasure of seeing it done. I am asking the Lord to let me live just that long, if no longer. I carry my trunk packed for glory all the time. I heard the orators orate, the preachers preach, the Dean of Howard University, Kelly Miller, made one more great speech, and I just listened to him, and I heard that great preacher from Petersburg, Dr. S. T. Eldridge. He preached what is known as the tobacco law sermon or something like that. It was one great sermon. I don't care what kind of law it was. It was manners to be around Lynchburg, and when we were through, President Woods, called a taxi car cab, and had me met down to the stable to leave. He paid for it, and I think it was a good investment, and saving to him, for I was destroying so much food around his house in this age when we see signs H. C. L. I beat it over to Richmond, and remained around a few hours, calling at the home of Prof. James H. McGrew, who was at one time Major, and now the state secretary for the Y. M. C. A. That is one more big place. He was out of the city, but his congenial wife received me and was ready to give me something to eat. I called on a trained nurse, who is indeed a busy woman, Mrs. Estelle Jackson, of Fourth street. She was as busy as could be nursing another trained nurse, Miss Ethel Alexander, who was to have an operation, and I am sure that she will soon be well and out, for she is useful and we need useful women at this time. Mrs. Jackson is a graduate from the Freedman Hospital training school in Washington, D. C., and put it down that I told you she knows her biz business. Off for a place that is worthy of any man or woman, who is interested in humanity to visit, it was the Industrial Home School for girls, founded by the Virginia State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. I am here to tell you that this is a wonderful institution. It is one of those institutions which holds out a hand to the girl who has made a mistake, or is about to make one. This girl who is neglected sometimes at home, or whose inclination started southward, and she must be turped around, and sometimes almost made over, and this is the work that the school is doing. I want to take off my hair and my head if need be to the good women of Virginia, who believe in doing things. Mrs. Janie Porter Barrett, is at the head of the institution, she is at the head of the organization which brought this into life, and she stirred the women as no one else has ever stirred them, and she is a great woman. I have seen a few things in this connection and I thank God that I visited them. While the white men, in politics in Virginia are fighting to make the republican party a party for white men, the women are joining hands with our women trying to help save our girls. I had the pleasure of seeing this demonstration. my mind now, the white woman has a soul, a heart, and her sympathy goes out for her sister in black, the only thing they lack is leadership, and when you can get a good strong woman to lead out in a movement which is for good, and to realize that she can come among us without our black rubbing off, then something is going to happen, and something is doing too. I have met some of them at Peaks Turnout where this school is located. You will permit me to tell you about a few white women who are helping out in a tangible way. Mrs. Hehry Lane Schmelz, of Hampton, Virginia, is president of the Board of Trustees, and Mesdames W. S. McNeil, of Richmond, and Mrs. Frank Dailing of Hampton, are vice-presidents. Mrs. Janie Porter Barrett on our side of the fence, is secretary. Mr. Frank W. Darling, of Hampton on the other side of the fence is treasurer. I will not be able to tell you the names of the trustees, but will say that these women have purchased the ground, erected some buildings, got it in good working order with one hundred girls present, and now this year it goes into the hands of the state. I wish I could take these women and extend them all who have done so much for humanity way up in the air so that the whole world could behold them. They are not sitting around talking about a race problem, the saving of girls, and this is not put into high sounding speeches, or race resolutions, but in actual work. God bless them all. I am not going to be able to tell you all the things I saw, and my great impression of Mrs. Barrett, those associated with her, and the work, but will move on to tell you other things, and I shall have something to say about them all from time to time. I am going to tell you about the Hanover school for boys another time, for I am in big Chicago, and the question which Peter asked the Lord when his disciples took cold feet and started to desert him, and Jesus asked them, "Will ye also go away?" Peter said, "Lord to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life, and we believe and are sure that thou art the Christ, the son of the living God." The democrats of the south have decided that they do not want us, and can get along without us, for they have disfranchised us, and the republicans through the southern white men are asking that this be a white man's party, the party to which we have been allied for so many years, and now comes the great question, where are we going? I heard the questions discussed. I heard the black man through well trained men, tell how they had been cheated, how white folkos had held special meetings, or held conventions in places where they were not admitted, and even in Virginia had the police officers to keep them out, and yet they were not given a chance. Yet I suppose of the two evils we will have to swallow the republican party another time, but I feel like saying to real sho 'muf cuss words, but my good religion wil not permit me to do it. The Republican Party in the United States, are a lot of cowards, and you may tell them that I said this, and I am going to give them my vote this fall if I vote at all. It may become necessary to give them a real defeat this fall, and perhaps that would help to bring them to their sense. I know they cater to the white element, but the white south is not going to throw away its votes on a republican, and it seems to me that a blind man, a crazy man could see this. I must bring this letter to a stop, and hope to have religion enough and cool enough to talk to you about the party and other things in my next letter. I want to speak of the man who will be nominated this week in the convention. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Higginbothan have removed from 4314 Forestville avenue to 4315 the same avenue. Rev. and Mrs. John G. Robinson, of Philadelphia, Pa., who are on their way home from attending the A. M. E. General Conference at St. Louis, Mo., attended the reception at the Appomattox Club Monday evening and were highly delighted at meeting the best people in Chicago. The Alban Calendar. In the ancient Alban calendar, in which a year was represented as consisting of ten months of irregular length, April stood first with 36 days to its credit. In the calendar of Romulus it had 30 days, while Numa's twelve-month calendar assigned it to fourth place, with 29 days; and so it remained until the reformation of the calendar by Julius Caesar, when it recovered its former 30 days, which it has since retained. Look in the Sewing Bag. Inasmuch as nobody has ever answered the old question, "What becomes of all the piles?" we submit one that may be easier: What becomes of all the safety razor blades?—Albany THE MANAGEMENT OF THE BEAUTIFUL ROYAL GARDENS EXTENDS A HEARTY WELCOME TO ALL THE DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION AND VISITORS TO VISIT THE FINEST PLACE OF AMUSEMENT IN CHICAGO. Several years ago when Mr. Virgil Williams assumed control of the old Palace Theater or dance hall, located at 459 E. 31st street, many of the wise ones felt dead sure that blank failure was staring him right square in the face that they could see no future success for his enterprise and gigantic undertaking. Mr. Williams, however, continued to saw wood and say nothing and in a very short time, he transformed the establishment into the Beautiful Royal Gardens, which is the most orderly conducted and the best place of amusement of its kind in the United States. It must be said to the everlasting credit of Mr. Williams, that before Uncle John Barley Corn received its final knock out and death blow, that Mr. Williams never sold one glass of liquor in his establishment, nor kept it in any manner, shape or form around about him. The Beautiful Royal Gardens contains the best and the laregest dancing floor in this city. The original New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, discourses the finest and the most enchanting music that can be heard any place and the entertaining is always of a high order, also the entertainers are topnotchers. For a clean or a real place of amusement, the Beautiful Royal Gardens cannot be excelled. Mr. James F. Griffin, the polite and gentlemanly manager, is always on hand to assist mine host, Mr. Williams, the enterprising and hustling proprietor to extend the glad hand of welcome, to all of its friends and patrons. Aside from conducting the Beautiful Royal Gardens Mr. Williams is one of the directors of the Liberty Life Insurance Company; he is also president of the Royal Gardens Moving Picture Company. He is full of race pride and the past year, directly and indirectly, he contributed more than seven thousand dollars to charity. Famous American Journalist Famous American Journalist On the third of February, in 1811, Horace Greeley, the journalist, was born at Amherst, N. H. He was the son of a poor farmer. Greeley received all the school education he ever had at the village public school, and at the age of fifteen was apprenticed to a printer. Greeley founded the New York Tribune, and from 1850 to 1870, when he retired, he was the most influential editor in the United States. He died at Pleasantville, N. Y., in 1872. Water Power Wasted. The Alto Parana river, which divides Paraguay from Argentina and Brazil, and its many tributaries, could make Paraguay an important industrial center. The power of these waters is practically unknown, but is estimated as having, in some places, a fall of 200 feet, and a force of 100-000 horse power. The Iguazu falls are regarded as even more powerful than Niagara. Silk for Consistent Hindua Muga silk is a product of Assan. Bri silk comes from caterpillars which feed on the castor oil plant. "It is of great value in India, because it is the only silk that can be spun from cocoons without killing the insects in the cocoons, and it is therefore the only silk that can be worn by a strict Hindoo. Brazil Roads Over-abundance of patience, plenty of pluck, and a large measure of stamina are the three essential qualities that motorists in South America must possess, particularly when traveling over Brazilian roads. In southern Brazil, roads are not only almost impossible most of the time, but are generally hopelessly impossible from the standpoint of touring comfort. Traversing them constitutes one of the most severe tests to which motor cars and tires can be subjected. What Is a Peddler? The word peddler is derived from an old English word, "ped," as in Spencer's "Shepherds' Calendar." "A basker is a wicker ped wherein they use to carry fish." It has no connection with the Latin peda, a foot, as often reported. A peddler is, therefore, one with a ped, basket, or pack, and it has been held in law, one who has the identical article he sells in his "ped." It is, simply speaking, incorrect, therefore, to call an itinerant merchant, who simply takes orders for goods bought from seeing samples he carries, a peddler. The Motive All who have meant good work with their whole hearts have done good work. . . . Every heart that has beat strong and cheerful has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind. —Robert Louis Stevenson. 1930 DR. U. GRANT DAILEY.

It is limited only by the power of the soul to match itself with the great need.—Exchange. Found Out What Allied Him. Billy's mother had bought some apple tarts for company, and when Billy spied them he said to his mother: "I have such a funny feeling in my stomach. I don't know whether I am thirsty or hungry." His mother said, "Take a drink of water," after which he said, "No, that isn't it. I still feel that way." Whereupon his mother gave him one of the tarts, and after eating it he said, "That was it, mother, I was hungry." Rejecting a Compliment A well-known member of the stock exchange, who is now giving up the close of a strenuous life to philanthropic efforts, was in his day a tremendous gambler in stocks, and, incidentally, he and his partner were rather expert in the gentle art of making enemies. One of these accosted him with the pleasant remark: "Look here, you are the biggest thief on the stock exchange." "Ah," was the answer, "it is evident you do not know my partner."-London Tit-Bits. The dog is not only a social animal, but has the rudiments, at least, of altruism. I once saw a dog jump into a river and swim down to another younger dog, which had been swept along by the current and who was trying in vain to make a landing where the bank was steep and slippery. All every attempt his claws slipped; he was losing his head; he was growing weak. The older dog pushed him downstream to a safe landing, then went on about his business, as if it were a mere detail—American Magazine. A little miss was clawing around in a forbidden box one day in the absence of her mother when her grandmother, who saw what was going on, accosted her rather sharply: "Gussie what are you runnaming around in that box for?" And little Miss Gussie answered: "Now, grandma, it will probably be just as well if you don't know what I am after." Touch Iron Instead of Wood. Investigation discloses the fact that in many districts of England the custom of touching wood still prevails just as it did among past generations. In Scotland the superstition of the touch is not unknown, although in their case it is iron that is believed to possess the charm of averting evil. For instance, the fisher people of Scotland, who regard the sight or mention of a pig as a bad omen, are accustomed to touch iron. Hair-Net Construction Human hair goes through many processes before reaching the user in the shape of a hair net, and the best are claimed to be made from hair prepared in England. The hair is bleached, chemically treated to reduce its thickness, and then dyed and combed into lengths ready for matting. After being thus treated it is sent to China to be distributed through properly appointed agencies and made into nets by hand by natives. Boul Vision. Canine Altruism. Sparing Grandma and popular M.

The term sound is actually applied to those aerial or other vibrations which, were they to reach the ear, would be audible. Sound is made of waves in material things of earth, like air, metal, water, or wood. A falling tree produces sound waves which vibrate symmetrically about it in much the same way as the ripples on a lake caused by throwing a pebble on its surface.

The tin is recovered as crystals of stannate of soda, and the alkali and saltpeter can be used over and over again. Remarkable Flight of Pigeon. A homing pigeon bearing the name of Bon Bolt was announced as having established a new long-distance flight rec $r^*$ of 2,200 miles in the summer of 1915, from Norwalk, Ohio, to Los Angeles, Cal.

Bellefs Concerning Sapphire. To the sapphire has been ascribed wicked thoughts; that it is such an enemy to poison that if put in a glass with a spider or venomous reptile it will kill it. St. Jerome in his exposition of the nineteenth chapter of Isalah says that the sapphire procures favor from princes, pacifies enemies, frees from enchantment and obtains release from captivity. This gem was sacred to Apollo and was worn when inquiring of the oracle at his shrine. It was esteemed a remedy against fire.

"Certainly," replied the candidate; "at ten years of age I could draw elder; at twelve, a picture; at fifteen, a hand-cart loaded with cabbage; at sixteen, an inference; at twenty, a bill of exchange. If I were an actor I believe I could draw the largest house; but, being a teacher, I am content to draw a small salary!" When Birds Return. When birds begin to come back in early spring, they may be attracted to trees near the home by placing near the trees a shelled cocanut, with some suet. There are about fifty different kinds of birds of paradise, which are among the most beautiful of the world's feathered creatures, and their home is in the South seas, on the continent of Australia and islands and countries nearby. These birds live in forest treetops and are very lively and active, jumping about and hanging from the limbs of the trees. Cost of Producing a Diamond. Cost or Producing a Diamond. To produce a diamond in the rough costs approximately $7 a karat, according to estimates of various students of the diamond industry. If this diamond properly cut were sold at $30, it would net a good profit. In the South African mines it is said the diamonds are distributed so evenly that 100 tons of the bluish clay yields about 100 karats of diamonds. The production cost of a five-karat diamond is $35. If it is flawless and of good water it will easily net $3,500. The supply of diamonds is unlimited. Almost all of the world's supply comes from South Africa and complete control of it is in the hands of one British concern. His Drawing Powers. When Birds Return. Beautiful Birds. 1181 N.

The feeling of cold or warmth is caused by sensations in the skin and has little significance as to the body temperature. On a hot day one may feel very hot when the body temperature is quite normal. Again at the beginning of a fever one may feel cold as in the case of a chill. This chilly feeling is caused by the contrast between the higher temperature of the internal organs and still normal temperature of the skin. An artist was sketching from the river bank near two friends who were fishing. The artist was at one time surrounded by cows which interfered with his view, and he tried to drive them away by throwing things at them, but they would not budge.
