PARKER ARE BEING GROOMED TO MAKE THE RACE FOR CONGRESS FROM THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS It seems that all the big Democratic and Republican politicians all want to be the head bosses at the same time and they all want to occupy the front seats in the bandwagon at the same time and with that end in view they want to be in the position to say if I can't do so and so you shant do so and so and the result is that the vast majority of the bosses of both parties are sitting far up in the tree and they are unable tell just which way the noisy and fussy old political cats will jump. The high priests of the Democratic party, in this city and county have placed the following ticket in the running and some of the wise Democratic chiefs contend that long before the April primaries that a second Democratic county ticket will be in the field.

Crowe, State's Attorney of Cook County, seems to be riding mighty greatly through the bitter political storm which has fallen upon Hon. Charles S. Deneen and Hon. Edward J.

CARR Extremely Popular Treasurer of C's Candidate Regardless of Politics but His Nomination and Election. HERE ARE SENATORS DECIDING FATE OF DYER BILL Let Them Know How You Feel About It The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, following passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the House of Representatives by a vote of 230 to 119, has made public the names of Senators on the Judiciary Committee, to which the bill was referred on January 27. If the Judiciary Committee reports the Dyer Bill, its enactment by the Senate is almost certain. The Senators on that committee are: Knute Nelson, Minnesota; William P. Dillingham, Vermont; Frank B. Brandegee, Connecticut; William E. Borah, Idaho; Albert B. Cummins, Iowa; LeBaron B. Colt, Rhode Island; Thomas Sterling, South Dakota; George W. Norris, Nebraska; Richard P. Ernst, Kentucky; Samuel M. Shortridge, California; Charles A. Culberson, Texas; Lee S. Overman, North Carolina; James A. Reed, Missouri; Henry F. Ashurst, Arizona; John K. Shields, Tennessee; Thomas J. Walsh, Montana. Despite all predictions to the contrary, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People steadily maintained the Dyer Bill would be passed by the House. It has been passed. The Association just as firmly believes that it will be passed by the United States Senate if every man and woman who wants it enacted lets the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee know of the tremendous public sentiment for it. HEIRS TO $250,000 ESTATE Philadelphia.—Through the death of Mrs. Emma Jones-Warwick, who died last Friday, Mrs. Meta Warwick-Fuller, sculptress, of New York and the children of the late Frank Cardoza of Washington, D. C., become heirs of an estate valued at $250,000, held in trust for fifty years. Part of the estate consists of property in Philadelphia and Atlantic City. Dr. Frank Cardoza of Baltimore is a distant relative by marriage. ```markdown ``` N. Y. NATION CALLS DYER BILL PASSAGE GREAT ACHIEVEMENT The New York Nation, one of the oldest liberal publications of the United States, in its issue of Feb. 8 calls the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill "the most important legal step ever taken toward ending our peculiarly national disgrace." The entire editorial paragraph in the Nation reads as follows: "The passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the House of Representatives by the large majority of 230 to 119 is an achievement. Every American should derive distinct satisfaction from this, the most important legal step ever taken toward ending our peculiarly national disgrace. For this accomplishment the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which for years has labored to arouse the American conscience about lynchings and to crystallize public sentiment into effective legislation, deserves full credit. But the fight is not yet won; the bill still has to pass the Senate. Those who feel the sting when Europeans ask Do you really mean that crowds gather to see men burned alive in America? should give the National association unstinted support until the bill not only passes the Senate and becomes law, but is enforced." Those who wish to act in accordance with the suggestion of the Nation, which for more than fifty years has championed the cause of colored Americans, may send donations for the Anti-lynching Fund of the N. A. A. C. P., to J. E. Spingarn, Treasurer, 70 Fifth avenue, New York. Donations of one dollar up will be welcomed. Miss Majorie Robinson, the highly accomplished daughter of Rev. and Mrs. John W. Robinson, 213 East 50th street, celebrated her eighteenth birthday Monday, February 6. Many of her young associates assisted her in celebrating that happy event. Her mother, Mrs. Robinson, as a part of the celebration, read the announcement of Doctor Stork, bringing her into this world eighteen years ago, which appeared at that time in the columns of this paper. Miss Robinson is a student at the Chicago university, and she reflects much honor on the young womanhood of this city. BOOK CHAT--BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON-CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. AUTHOR OF "HALF A MAN," "HAZEL," "THE SHADOW." ETC. "DARK WATER" By Prof. W. E. B. Du Bois. Published by Harcourt, Brace & Howe, New York City. Price $2, postage ten cents. It is difficult to say any new word regarding "Dark Water." The book has been widely read and has passed through several editions. And yet it would be an incomplete series of Book Chats that failed to note this volume of essays by the man who stands unquestionably as one of the greatest prose writers today in the United States. Dr. Du Bois began his literary career, as I remember, back in the nineties with an article in the Atlantic Monthly. "Between me and the other world," he wrote, "there is always an unasked question; unasked by some through feelings of delicacy; by others through the difficulty of rightly framing it. All nevertheless flutter 'round it. They approach me in a half hesitant sort of way, eye me curiously or compassionately, and then, instead of saying directly, How does it feel to be a problem? they say, I know an excellent colored man in my town; or I fought at Mechanicsville; or Do not these Southern outrages make your blood boil? At these I smile, or am interested, or reduce the boiling to a simmer, as the occasion may require. To the real question, How does it feel to be a problem, I answer seldom a word." While those who know Dr. Du Bois realize that this has been true of the spoken word, of the written one it is hardly the case. For his two books, "The Souls of Black Folk," "Dark Water," and some of his editorial writings voice with intenseness and clarity what it means to be a problem in America. No white person who reads Du Bois can ever fail to feel his poignancy. More than any other author he has shown the suffering of sensitive people under insult and persecution. "Don't you think Du Bois is bitter?" the white reader asks, with the implication that to be bitter is to be in the wrong. But the bitterness of "Dark Water" is a great part of its power. It stirs the self-complacent citizen out of his comfortable optimism and whether he likes it or not makes him face realities. No man of the race that started the Atlanta massacre can read the Litany at Atlanta, the cry of the blacks to God, "How long shall the mounting flood of innocent blood roar in Thine ears and pound in our hearts for vengeance?" and again "Surely Lord too art not white, O Lord, a pale, bloodless, heartless thing!" and be unmoved. Such a man complains of the bitter- Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning Dr. J. A. Cotton closed his eyes in death at the Fort Dearborn Hospital.

AUTHOR OF ," "HAZEL," "THE ness because he hates the fact that he is moved. I speak of Dr. Du Bois's books in connection with white people because it is this reaction with which I am most familiar, but I believe that his writings have greatly influenced the colored race, especially the youth of that race. He has been a champion of the doctrine that the race must not accept unchallenged an insult, a doctrine that has born fruit at Chicago and Washington and Tulsa, and that will continue increasingly to bear fruit. "Dark Water" has in it ten essays and ten prose poems. Two of the prose poems we must rejoice to have in permanent form, The Credo and the Litany at Atlanta. Some of the others are a trifle exotic, perhaps the Negro born and reared in New England like to feel that he has companionship with the rich fragrance and growth of the jungle, but all are admirable interludes to the discussions of the problems that especially relate to colored Americans. Africa, the colored woman, white men, domestic service, work and wealth, childhood, beauty and death, these comprise the subjects. There are great passages that will pass into literature. Sometimes they are so white with hate that they partly misconstrue motives, but they cannot be forgotten. For instance, in speaking of the colored woman, Dr. Du Bois, after telling of the many things which he can forgive, even slavery, declared, "I shall never forgive, neither in this world nor the world to come, the white South's wanton and continued and persistent insulting of the black womanhood which it sought and seeks to prostitute to its lust. I cannot forget that it is such Southern gentlemen . . . who insist on withholding from my mother and wife and daughter those signs and appellations of courtesy and respect which elsewhere they withhold only from courtesans." One loves the magnificent arrangement but is quite sure that the Southerners' treatment of the colored woman comes largely from his oldtime association with her as one of the servant class. Domestic servants alone, whatever their race, though they may become millionaire's wives, are always Jane or Mary when they meet their former masters and mistresses and not until the colored woman of the South largely leave domestice service will they find a white man raising his hat to them or be called by their last names. One does not need to call in the courtesan who, by the way, is often treated with more respect than the domestic servant. But all the same the paragraph is magnificent. There are books that people may read and there are books that people must read, and "Dark Water" is a book that must be read.

We now renew the effort. ‘The United States of America came into being not as a piece of adventure nor by war of conquest, but by sac- rifice and the spilling of human blood for the sacred principle of liberty in ‘government because “all men are born equal.” The inalienable rights of men were writ down in defense of rebel- lion and revolution. Realize then the glory to the ele- ment who spilled the first blood, and the claim to equal liberty of the race ‘who gave the frst martyr of the fight! ‘The honor of producing the proto- martyr for this Republic, belongs sole- ty tous. Anglo-Saxonism says that “Blood is the price of Liberty.” Since ‘we produced the first martyr and we alone have been enslaved and are now denied equality, held in contempt by Americans of lighter hue, the call comes, in pride of race, to publicly observe. the death of Crispus Attucks, who fell facing British soldiers lead- ing a band of white men, on State street, Boston, March 5, 1770, sealing our American birth-right. By that first blood we attained foundation title to all of liberty and Fights. We need to tell our rising generation of this ground title to citizenship to assure the middle-aged. We need universally to celebrate this date that we may cause our white feliow-Americans to realize our real original Americanism and our claim to every right. ‘Well may there be added the way and principle, the black man's fight for rights under the black man's aus- pices, and observances of “Citizen- ship Foundation Day be held by com- mittees of our race formed now to observe the 10Sth: Anniversary of Frederick Douglass’ birth, or formed La se! rs ome bi _ “%\ < 5 : : | » ee Se a - — o i og - a ag Vy a Boy HON.

A .Majors Overcoming the handicaps, moving away the obstruction is too frequently the cause of failure among individuals. Born just a few years before the Emancipation, and in the first years of his childlife he could not see much of truth and honor in those Virginia hills. The country about was rack- ribled to poverty and squalor. Many years after the great change condition of our people from slavery to freedom, restlessness and anxiety stole into his youthful heart, and so he sought the great spirit of the Northland. Education does not al- ways come out of the discipline of school restrictions and regulations, yet he went to the school, while at other times engaged a private tutor. There are some things in us that will not be cowed by limitation of opportunity. THis truism applies to Lincoln and Frederick Douglass in a very remarkable degree. Mr. Tins- ley chose a path for his untried feet in the very early music life of his race, and he sought to develop along that art. When the great need came for a choral study club in the larger life of the colored people of this great city it was Pedro Tinsley, promoting, forwarding, and directing it. He did not measure the regard and lofty ap- preciation of his people by meager talent in the local field. He sent to Europe, to Boston, New York, Balti- more and Washington, and in his home city staged some very preten- tious public recitals that elicited the favorable criticism of the very great- est artists, and lovers of song. As we view him in retrospect, the mind is alert and fancy free. He was precise, genteel, kind, and the very personification of a dignity so little we find among our race. We may go a word further and proclaim Pedro Tinsley an aristrocrat, he al- most was, whether you believe it or not. Yet in paying honést tribute to one among us so worthy, we must not fail to applaud the noble attributes of the man still plodding in the hum- ble walk of human service. Wealth would have made him a man of power, beloved while greatly honored. and feared. A finished, ripened schol- arship would have set his name be- jeweled among the illustrious mu- sicians of the races. Though handicaps obstructed his pathway, he built himself a strong fortress in the hearts of those he cared to know. He was an author of a book on music and song, which-confirms the idea that his mind was lofty and that he fostered the culture and refine- ment that was evinced by his daily life. Recently in honor and sincere mem- ery the Chicago colored musicians, and our very best talent in music and fiterature paid him a memorial tribute at the Presbyterian Church which was attended by people in all of the highest walks of life. He ted while he lived, ever upholding and preaching for the noblest. in human life. i BACK PROM SOUTH ‘Mrs. F. W.

BURKE Friday evening the Cook County Bar Association gave its annual banquet and installation of officers at the Ap- pomattox Club, 3632 Grand boule- vard. Tt was a remarkable gathering of legal lights and will be long remem: bered by the association and its guests, many of whom responded to the in- vitation which had been extended The correspondent was surprised, however, to note the absence of so many of our lawyers of prominence, some of whose names even appeared on the speakers’ program. Perhaps this was unavoidable, but there were many faces missing which one would naturally expect on such an otcasion, but their absence did not in any man- ter prevent the carrying out of an ex- cellent program by the many eloquent speakers. It merely emphasized to the writer and the public, the fact that the association is fast filling its ranks with young men of enerdy and initia- tive, who can be safely trusted to keep up the interest and manage its affairs. The first speaker was the Hon. J. G. Cotter, assistant United States district attorney, who gave a brief historical sketch of the organization and growth of the Cook County Bar Association and the part it has played and is playing in the development of the race in Chicago; its work in the race riot of 1919, when its members, assisted by the Chicago Peace and Protective League, gave legal aid to those who were in need of it. He related how, in 1912, a few men, including the late George W. Ellis, F. L. Barnett and himself, met to voice their dissatisfac- tion at not being able to gain admis- sion to the Chicago Bar Association, which js composed of the leading white jurists and lawyers, and from which all except two or three colored lawyers were excluded. Out of this discus- sion grew the determination to form an association of their own. Hon. Ed- ward H. Wright was chosen president. From this small beginning the organ- ization has grown until it is known and respected throughout the state of Illinois, Mr. Cotter was followed by Hon. R. E. Westbrooks, the new president, who held his audience spellbound with his eloquence. ‘Among the invited guests who ad- “WAY DOWN EAST” AT THE AVENUE THEATER, 31ST STREET AND IN- DIANA AVENUE D. W. Griffith's great or most won- derful production, “Way Down East,” will be at the Avenue Theater for four days, commencing Sunday after- noon, February ‘2, matinee. “Way Down East” is a thrilling story of human hearts unfolded, and a tale of love and lovers, which should be wit- nessed by each and every one, in order to appreciate its true worth. Miss Lillian Gish and Mr. Richard Barthelmess are the leading stars in “Way Down East.” Among the others are Lowell Sherman, Burr McIntosh, Mary Hay, Creighton Hale, Mrs. Mor- gan Belmont and Kate Bruce. “Way Down East” had a long run at Woods’ Theater, downtown, where the price of admission was $2.00 and not a vacant seat was to be had at any of the performances shortly after the show began. Manager Tom Norman expects that “Way Down East” will ffl the Ave- nue Theater from pit to dome during its four days at that theater. | No advance in the prices of ad- _ EVOLUTION OF THE FOOL ; By Dr. M.

Sometimes you would think he was a man of affairs, or a woman of respectful consideration. Qualifica- tions are never overlooked in the gradual growth of a fool. They ap- ply themselves diligently to make themselves appear to be what they can never be, and the sad thing about it is that they become to be accepted on their face value.

George Packard of the Chicago Bar Association, Judge Henry M. Walker, Hon. Silas H. Strawn, president of the Illinois State Bar Association, Hon. John M. Dienner of the Patent Law Association and Judge Joseph B. David, whom the toastmaster, Mr. Porter, introduced as one of the many fair-minded and impartial jurists on the bench. Other speakers were W. E. Mollison, Major John R. Lynch and Mr. Stradford. Among the musical numbers we mention with pride the rendition of that wonderful songbird, Mrs. Dorothy E. Love, who thrilled her hearers with her cheerful notes. She was ably as- sisted by Madame Dickerson at the piano. The attendance of over a hundred persons shows how the interest is centered in this organization and how well it is being carried on and upward. ‘Quite a few ladies were present, among them Mrs. J.

Many of our best dressed rep- resentatives in church, polities, medi- cine, law, and journalism would be absolute failures if we didn't have the fool to give us the chance to take his money away from him. Of course we don’t have to hold him up to get it. If he had sense enough to keep it he would be very much of a fool. TOO MANY COLORED PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY Jackson, Mississippi —There are too many colored people in the United States, according to State Senator McCallum of the Mississippi Legisla- ture who has recently introduced a resolution asking the Mississippi Leg- islature to memorialize the President ‘of the United States and Congress to buy land in Africa to which the Amer- ican colored people are to be de- ported. The resolution provides for the pufchase of territory in Africa ‘by treaty, purpose, or other negotia- tions. This territory is to be under the tutelage of the American Govern- ment, to the end that America itself may become a nation of one blood ‘and that the American colored people may have a chance for racial develop- ment under the most advantageous circumstances. McCallum recommends ‘that whatever portion of the allied war debt as may.be necessary, should be used to acquire the land for this Purpose. Only one thing seems to have been overlooked by the Hon.

Alexander, prominent in Inter-racial Committee Work in Atlanta, Georgia, spoke before the open forum here a few days ago to an audience of about seven hundred, presenting the usual southern picture of Negroes in the balcony and whites on the main floor. Dr, Alexander in his talk developed the regular pro- gram of inter-racial work which has come to be known as the Atlanta Plan. This plan decries _over- emphasis of the evil in each race and advises the formation of councils composed of representatives from both races which should work out a policy or furnish a medium of adjust- ment concerning all matters which are of mutual interest to the two races. Among the conditions contem- plated are especially health, morals, mob-violence. Dr. Alexander paid his respects to those who circulate wild rumors concerning radical ten- dencies among the Negro population. He made it very clear, however, that the South was unwilling to listen to outside advice on the Negro problem, feeling as he does that whatever im- provement may come must result from a more sympathetic attitude originating in the white south. ACTIVITY OF THE URBAN LEAGUE OF CHICAGO T. Arnold Hill, Secretary of the Chicago Urban League, is out of the city for a few days. He went to Richmond, Virginia, because of the death of his grandmother who was buried there last week. Mr. Hill plans to spend a few days in Richmond which was his home, and then in New York before returning here. A number of prominent society women, among them Mrs. Julia An- derson, Mrs. Maude George, Mrs. Florence Jones, Mrs. Lula Lawson, Mrs. Alone Williams and Miss Haidee York have accepted places on the committee to promote the Chicago Urban League Rummage Sale which is to be held at the League office, 3032 South Wabash avenue, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week.

Bailey, president, The Bailey Realty Co., and manager The Milton Mercantile Agency, 3683 South State street, spent a busy week out of the city especially at Evanston, Waukegan and Lake Forest where she was in conference with business men of that section on topics of vital importance to the Race. CHARLESE E. STUMP, THE SO-CALLED TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, STRIKES MEMPHIS, TENN., BIRMINGHAM, ALA., AND OTHER POINTS IN THE EXTREME SOUTH. Memphis, Tenn.—It has been a long time since I sent you a letter from this place, but I must let you have a line now, and say to you that I am well and hope when these few lines come to hand they may find you the same. No I am not well, but Dr. G. C. Hall, and Dr. H. W. Conrad have gotten me in such shape until I feel like I could whip an elephant, but it is all feeling. I am here today the guest of that wonderful musical genius, Miss L. E. Campbell, who is a teacher in the high school, and the organist of the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress which will meet in June in the city of New Orleans. I am proud to say to you that Miss Campbell composes much music, and it is put in books used by the Congress. Did you know that we had such a genius in the race? If you did not then I am proud to tell you about her. You did not know her, because she is modest, and unless you actually stumbled up on her or was told by some one that that is Miss L. E. Campbell you would never know her. God is doing wonderful things for us and will continue -to do them if we will only let Him. Reaching Memphis, I went to see Dr. E. C. Morris, Helena, Ark., and found that he was near the door of death, to the extent that he could just feel the hands of C. T. Walker, F. L. Lights, A. Barbour, and others of the National Baptist convention who have gone ahead of him near. But the Lord has returned him to us for sometime to come, for I believe that the Lord wants him to carry out some work he has begun, the erection of the publishing house under Dr. A. M. Townsend, the business genius of the race. This is going to happen, and right now Dr. Townsend is on the wing getting things in shape, and raising some money from the Baptists to start the building. It is going to happen, and this you may believe I reached Helena and found that Dr. Morris was sitting up, and your readers will be delighted to know this. Many of them did not know that he was sick, and now that he is getting better, they will write to him expressing their joy and pleasure at this news. I returned to the city, and found that they had been holding a business meeting at the Metropolitan Baptist church, and the new pastor, Dr. J. T. Brown presided. Things had been a little warm, but not hot like it was last November, where the brethren and sistress lost sight of the church militant and the church triumph and mingled finger nails, umbrellas and other things with each others whiskers and hair. One sister broke an umbrella over the head of a deacon and he exclaimed, "I believe I have reached heben at last." He was mistaken for*he was still down here on earth full of the devil's holy water. But I am not to talk about church fights now, but will turn my attention to some other things. For I have been going some since I wrote you last week. I returned to Memphis, visited the high school, and then one of the other schools, visited Henderson's business college, and I am here to tell you that this young man is doing a great work. I would recommend his business college to any one seeking a business course. It is not mere in name, but he has purchased a lot or two, erected a real business college, and has in it everything that goes to train business people, from a bank up or down. When they get a diploma from this school they are ready for business. Then I made it over to Nashville, and found that Dr. Hale had sent two automobiles over to meet me and escort me to the Millie E. Hale hospital where I was to remain his guest during my stay in town. It is nice to be where you can have doctors and nurses all the time, and this was my case while there. I have told you about this wonderful character from time to time and will not talk about him this week. I had an invitation from President W. J. Hale, of the State school to drop out and look the student body over, and make a few remarks, and I made it there, you will believe me honey. He came himself in his automobile car carriage for me, and toted me out to the school, and by the way, he is the proud father of a son. This little fellow has just reached this earth and he is here to stay. I wish you could just see this educator smile. I wanted to congratulate him on the arrival of his heir to the throne, and A live or wide awake newspaper man or solicitor can earn some easy money by calling on or addressing the undersigned. Julius F. Taylor, 6206 S. Elizabeth street. Phone Wentworth 2597. I said, "Congratulations, rompituril, indicatorolisel." I don't know whether he understood me or not, for I did not know what I was saying, but he is one of the greatest educators in this country and a man well trained for his work. I am proud of him. I believe in my soul that this is taking the first place of state schools in this country, and all due to the fact that there is a man at the head. They have secured the best available men and women on the faculty, I think it is called, and then they are turning out the work. I tell you this man is a man for the people and right with the people. You can reach him and he can reach you. He has been educated right to the people, and then he stands erect and looks every man in the face and says "Here is a man." We need such men everywhere, and I am proud to say that in him we have what we need. They are putting up some new buildings there, and the state is just investing money in brains. If you are in Tennessee get in line. I will not be able to tell you the names of all the teachers I met there. I have also visited Lane college, and believe me that is another school that is doing some great work. At the head of this school is Prof. James F. Lane, who has taken the time to become educated and right by his side is his wife, a woman of much training. She is the secretary, and believe me honey she is a good one. I reached the town at 1:38 and there was some one to meet me at that hour in the night and toted me to the college. I tell you it is a great thing to come in touch with real educated people. They have a fine student body there, and both are among our readers. I think I will some day devote a whole letter to Lane college, for I think it is deserving. I had the pleasure of coming in touch with Bishop Isaac Lane, the real founder of the school, and the senior bishop of the C. M. E. church. He is active in mind and body, and rendering a great service to his race. It is real pleasure to come in touch with these noble characters. I have made it away from there, and you see I am back in Memphis, but will leave here tomorrow for Birmingham, and then to Montgomery to mingle with all them bishops and I will tell you about them next week. Are you getting ready to attend the unveiling of that monument to Booker T. Washington. The executive board of the National Baptist convention will meet at Tuskegee at this time, and the National Negro Press Association will be in session then. It will be a great time to visit Tuskegee Institute, and I hope you have decided to be there. A letter from Prof. Martin A. Menafee, Dennark, S. C., informs me that he is going to be on hand, and declares that I must be there. Of course I am going to be there because Dr. Booker T. Washington was a friend to us all, and we should be sure to meet him or take advantage of every opportunity to pay a tribute to him. I shall have more to say another time. God bless you. A letter sent care Bethel Institutional Baptist church will reach me. That church is in jacksonville, Florida. —Charles E. Stump. Col. and Mrs. Franklin A. Denison and the other members of their family have removed from 3438 Vernon avenue to 4225 Vincennes avenue. Photography. Photography was invented in 1802 by Thomas Wedgewood, by whom photographs were produced; and the process was perfected in 1841. In the meantime, in 1839, Daguerre and Nieper invented the process of making daguerreotypes by the use of the "dark room" process. Porteous Riots The Scotch Porteous riots were occasioned by the hanging of a smuggler named Wilson at Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1736. Captain Porteous, of the City Guard, ordered his men to fire on the rolters, several of whom were killed. Condemned to death, Porteous was respired by the government, but was selzed by the populace and hanged. The Lord Provost of Edinburgh was declared incapable of further holding office, and the city was compelled to pay £1,500 to Porteous' widow. Baby's Big Cigar. A traveler in South America writes: "So far as we observed, the landlord's four-year-old daughter had not acquired a taste for rum, but she had already laid the foundation of a habit which Colombian women, at least the rank and file, have acquired in advance of their northern sisters. Sitting cross-legged on a bench chattering baby-talk, she contentedly smoked a large black cigar, around or partly around which her tiny forefinger colled in stereotyped form. Her mother gave her a light and seemed unfigured proud of her offspring's accomplishment. M. H.

Much in a Name A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but—there is a lovely rambler rose known as "Lady Gay." This flower was originally named "Amelia Jenkins," but no one bought it or troubled to cultivate it. Under its new name it has met with wide popularity. The Prattle of Children. Four-year-old John W., when visiting his grandparents, was taken to Sunday school. The lesson of the day was the ever interesting story of "Daniel in the Lion's Den" and the teacher presented it in a manner to keep the interest of all the children. But during one of the intervals John W. spokes up, saying, "Yes, and I saw six little pigs at the very same circus." The Old Post Road—1788. The old road between New York and Albany was, for the greater part of the way, but a rough belt through a virgin forest. Occasionally a farmer had cleared a few acres, the lawns of a manor house were open to the sun, the road was varied by the majesty of Hudson and Palisades for a brief while, or by the precipitous walls of mountains, so thickly wooded that even the wind barely fluttered their somber depths. . . . —Gertrude Atherton. Living Room Important A living room of all rooms in the home is the most important, and one writer says: "Furnishing a living room is like starting out on a voyage of discovery." This room should be furnished with thought for the need and comfort of each individual member of the family. Give to the master of the household a comfortable fireside chair, a table beside that chair on which he can place a paper, magazine, book or any other things that he may wish there; give him his own reading lamp and a comfortable stool in front of his chair. Tree Seeds by No Means Allike Tree seeds vary greatly in the amount of time they take before they sprout. Seeds of the Kentucky coffee tree must lie in the ground at least two years before their hard coats are sufficiently softened to allow the sprout to escape, while cottonwood seeds die within a few hours if they do not fall on favorable soil. Cause of Real Harm Josh Billings once said: "It ain't so much ignorance that does harm as their knowing so darned much that ain't true." In Honor of a Dance. Our biggest spider is the Texas Tarantula; and unless one has especially looked the matter up, says the American Forestry Magazine, few there are that could guess how the spiders called tarantulas ever had had such a name bestowed upon them; least of all would it be suspected that the name was derived from a dance. Love's Tragic Path. When I was sixteen I met a hand-some youth two years my senior. I cared for him and, apparently, he cared for me. At this age I was very sensitive and shed tears over every little thing, and once in a while over things he said. For my birthday I received a package which I knew was from him because of his handwriting. I ran to my room to open it, and when I did, what did I behold but an onion placed in the middle of a square box with a card saying "Now cry." I did, but not from the effects of the onion, but of a broken heart. That was enough.—Exchange.

"Atomized" coal—different from merely "powdered" coal because very minutely divided—is a new product that is finding important uses. It is used for making a high-grade paint and also a substitute for lampblack in the manufacture of ink.

A salesman recently told the Bow Street magistrate that no swearing is allowed nowadays in Covent Garden Market. This exclusion of all golfers, ratepayers and spring-cleaning victims is surely rather drastic—Punch (London). The Silent "H." The letter "h" is not pronounced at the beginning of the word hour, heir, herb, humor, honest, honor, and their derivatives. Many people are unaware of the fact that the word herb does not have its "h" sounded. "H" is silent also when it comes after the letter "r," as in rheumatism. Few Gas Blowers Now. A great many glass articles and particularly the finer grade commodities are blowed by hand. In the past the glass blower was an essential and an indispensable employee in the glass plant, but today he has lost a great deal of his importance. The lung power of the blower is being replaced more and more by compressed air in the glass-blowing machine. Light Affects Wood. There is a figure which may be brought out prominently in certain kinds of woods, mostly those of tropical origin, says the American Forestry Magazine. This is variously known as roe, ribbon grain, feather grain, etc., and appears as narrow to broad longitudinal stripes, alternating light and dark. This is due, not to actual differences in color, but to the way in which the light is reflected by the different layers. Mercerized Goods. Mercerized cotton is obtained by subjecting a cotton yarn or cloth under tension to a bath of strong caustic soda. The fiber gains in strength and loses its twist, becoming highly lustrous. It takes the dye more easily than ordinary cotton, and the colors produced are better and more permeant. The process of mercerization increases the cost of manufacture, but produces a beautiful, lustrous and more durable fabric, which is often used as a substitute for linen or silk.

The first motion picture machine was patented in 1867, but nothing practical resulted from it until 1888, when the cinematograph was produced by Lumier. This was the first machine to project on a screen a picture from a film. Edison improved on the idea in 1886 when he produced the vitascope. These machines provided the models for the improved types in use today.
