Making Great Success Singing, Welcome by All and Invited to Return—Hindoos and Mexicans Have Better Chance than Her Race. FORCED INTO JIM CROW CARS. Maj. R. R. Jackson Makes Hit in Southland with Many Speeches—Leland Chicago Giants the Talk of the Natives. My Special Correspondent of Chicago Defender. Mr. R. S. Abbott, Editor Defender, Chicago, IL.-Dear Sir: Galveston, Texas, May 6, 1919. I thought I would write you a few lines of my Southern trip, especially of Texas. I have visited most every city and town of note in this State, excepting Denison and El Paso, and wish to say I have been royally entertained in some of the very best homes and find the people are full of hospitality and very musical. It is really an inspiration to be among them. They are very progressive, having their own department stores, shoe stores and drug stores. They are engaged in all lines of work. Some of the finest white homes are the architecture of colored men. It is a common sight to see them in their automobiles. Dr. Bultt of Dallas, in whose home I was so highly entertained, owns two autos. But—the Jim crow cars really make velvet unpleasant in the South. This ing my third trip in the South, I not yet accustomed to them. It is my vaxing to be kept out of the mer cars and, see all of the untidy ple, some of them Mexicans (alst black), who are permitted to ride the best cars. I saw the Rube Foster team twice, followed Major Jackson's team in three or four places and will be glad to have him know how he impressed the people of the South by the excellent department of his team. Special mention was made of them visiting the churches and of the many nice addresses made by Major Jackson. I wish to thank the Major for the many complimentary remarks he made of me and am proud to hear them singing the praises of the Chicagoans. It is a pleasure to send these lines to The Dunder, as I feel that I have a number of friends in Chicago who are interested in me. Thanking you for this pace, I am sincerely yours. ANITA PATTI BROWN.

THE UMBRIAN GLEE CLUB'S BIG CONCERT MAKES GREAT HIT The Umbian Glee Club, under the leadership of Prof. E. T. Clissold, gave their initial concert on Thursday evening before a large au jence at Quinn Chapel, assisted by Miss Marie E. Burton, soprano; little Miss Sinclair White, child violinist, and Mr. A. C. Williams, pianist. To simply say that the concert was good would only be To Leland Giants. The Leland Giants Baseball Club, who has just returned from the southwest on their Southern spring training trip, at the Chateau De La Plaisance, 5324 State street, Thursday, the 12th, at which time our secretary and treasurer, Mr. B. F. Moseley and Andrew (Rube) Foster, manager and captain of the team, will introduce to the public the two-time winners. In order to become a member of the Leland Giants Rooters' Club you must be present at the Chateau Rink, 5324 State street, Thursday, May 12, at which time Mr. Andrew (Rube) Foster, manager and captain of the team, will introduce to the public his team mates.

THE K. OF P.'S PARADE GREAT The Knights of Pythias parade of last Sunday was one of the greatest that has ever been made by any single body in the history of Illinois. Major R. R. Jackson did himself proud, and in the language of the street, "that's what they all say." It was he who introduced the Cavalry which you saw in the line of march, and it is he who is the staff of lite in the order in this grand old State. Rev. A. J. Carey is known to have preached sermons, but at this particular time he preached "some more sermon." Among other things he said, "There was no man a true knight until he owned land, etc., as did the knights of England in the feudal times." Among other things he said, in reference to his leaving Chicago is that he would never leave even to accept a seat in the Senate; so we have it from the doctor's own lips as to his future. Chicago for him first, last and always. Every one present expressed himself as glad to have been at the sermon and all left benefited by his masterly sermon. MR. BAILEY OFF FOR PETERS- BURG, VA. Will Meet and Talk with Old School- mates, Graduates and Members of the Alumni Association. One of The Defender's reporters happened to step into the Big Four R. R. ticket office on Clark street just Wednesday just in time to see Chief Bailey, who is at the head of the True Reformers in Chicago, purchase his railroad ticket to Petersburg, Va, and to obtain lower berth No. 8 to Rich- mond, Va. Then had the agent to hire No. May 16, on return trip. I acquired why and the CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, MAY 7, 1910 putting it mildly. This step in Chicago on the part of the young men is one in the right direction, and one cannot but think of Mr. Pedro T. Tinsley, with his Choral Study Club, who has done so much to educate the citizens in high-class music, which is now enjoyed by them unconsciously, and when they hear of such concerts they re- EIGHTH·INFANTRY ILLINOIS NATIONAL GUARD The Pride of Chicago and the State of Illinois Will Be Honored for Faithfulness. OUR SOLDIER BOYS Will Receive Gold Medals for 15 Years' Service and Decorations for Skill in Rifle Practice. The Eighth Regiment, Illinois National Guard, will give their tenth annual military ball at 7th Regiment Armory, 34th street and Wentworth avenue, Monday evening, May 23, 1910. The features of this annual event among our soldier boys is the awarding and presentation of gold medals to all officers and men who have served continuously in the regiment for fifteen years. All who have proven their ability to shoot accurately at distances from 200 to 1,000 yards, and making the required percentage at skirmish fire, will be presented with decorations including sharpshooters' medals. Quite a number of the officers and men have qualified and will be decorated in the presence of the public with medals of honor, won by service and proficiency in rifle practice. The full 8th Regiment land will be present to furnish r, r, c for the dance, which is the crooning feature of the evening's entertainment. The grand march will take place at 10 o'clock sharp, the regiment being in line in full dress uniform to participate in the same. Tickets will be sold at the popular price, 50 cents, and the usual large crowd is expected. You are invited. CLOAK ROOM MAN CAUGHT It pays to notify the Chicago Defender when a confidence man catches you in his net. On last Tuesday, when Mrs. Salena, Elsa and Rebecca Bradley, 2236 State street, were duped out of $300 by this slick gent, they at once notified this office, and it warned thousands of our readers, and it was in this way he was caught, and landed in a cell. He gave his name to the police as Will Jones and to his victims as Harry Johnson. He was tried on Thursday, at Halsed and 35th streets at the police station, and his case sent on up. The Defender was the only paper in Chicago to give its readers the warning, Mrs. M. E. Martin, of 64th and Champlain avenue, told how he visited her home. By being notified, his presence in the city she warble, avoid the rude in- spend more readily than they ever did in the past. Mr. A. A. Brown, 3527 Wabash avenue, who is the president of the club, and at whose home is their headquarters, deserves great praise for his uniting efforts to bring together such a body of representative men to study the art of higher music. We trust these gentlemen will attach CREAT ODD FELLOWS' PARADE. On to-morrow, Sunday, May 8, the Odd Fellows will make one of the greatest parades that has ever been made by any organization in the city in many a day. Early Sunday morning, when you get up to look for the comet, and should see shining things going along the streets, remember that it is an Odd Fellow instead, for they will be in every direction from early until late on that day. The newly recruited Odd Fellows' Band will head the line of march, followed by the Knights of Pythias Band, which will furnish the music for the occasion. The Odd Fellows' Band is something new, and it is said that it is the first and only one in the world, which shows the new spirit that is being infused into an order that at one time began to lag back, but since the young men began to enter and take hold of things, there is a spirit which is making the world take notice. The line of march will be as follows: Line of March. East on 24th street to Wabash avenue, north on Wabash to 25th street, west on 25th street to Dearborn street, south on Dearborn street to Institutional Church. Returning—East on 28th to Wabash avenue, north on Wabash avenue to 34th street, west on 24th street to State street, north on State street to Odd Fellows Hall. Order of formation: Col. R. F. Ratcliffe and staff. First Battalion-12th Regt. of Pats Maj. H. T. Wells, commanding. Od Fellows Veterans Association. Last Monday night quite an excitement at Odd Fellows' hall was the initiation of twenty-nine members into the order. It seems that Messrs. Samuel White, Theodore Jones, Jr., Mr. T. Sloan, mail carrier at Hyde Park station, and Mr. Robinson, 6350 St. Lawrence avenue, were the cause. After being blindfolded they were made to ride the conventional goat, which was something hard to do. They began to holler "Fire! murder!" and Lord knows what all. It is said Messrs. White, Jones and Sloan got out of the hall and started for home, and it was with difficulty they were captured and returned to finish their obligations. Mr. Harry F. Dean, 3635 Wabash avenue, who spent three years in Africa and returned about a month ago, was called to New York to look at his consignment shipped. He has among his valuable lot 1,000 pounds of ostrich plumes, which are the marvel of the age. Mr. Dean, in speaking to a reporter, said: "I am truly glad to get back to Chicago, for there is no place in the world like it; not even Africa can be compared, and I could pleas condolences, and trees over that." themselves with the Choral Study Club, not as a club, but as individuals, just like the various white glee clubs of the city attach themselves to the Apollo Club. In this way great good can be gained and all interested could be benefited. Special mention must be made of Misses White and Burton for their excellent work. RAIL ROAD PORTER ON JOY RIDE. Wakes Up Hitting the Ties on 120 Mile Hike to Old Chi. WHISKEY SAID TO BE CAUSE. Train Conductor Woods Unloads Him at Champaign, Illinois. Special to the Chicago Defender. Champaign, Ill., May 6, 1910.—Train Conductor Frank Woods (white), in the service of the Illinois Central Railway Company, on the Chicago division, unloaded the porter at Champaign, Ill., on train No. 2, north bound, for being under the influence of whisky and unable to perform his duties as a train porter. This must be painful to men who hold the same humble station in life. But there are always two sides to everything. The train conductor performed his duties when he unloaded him. Not from a prejudiced standpoint, but from an unprejudiced standpoint, it will teach others a lesson to keep whisky out of them when on duty, and a man with a family, who will get beastly under the influence of whisky is unfit to represent the railroad company or any other company. He has brought shame and disgrace to his home, and he has also made it hard on other honest men, who have nothing at heart but the highest good of service to mankind. Now the public must remember this train conductor, Frank Woods, would be forced to unload the engineer or fireman if he was in the same condition that this train porter was in. The train conductor is responsible for his train while in his charge, and he is over all of the employees on his train. Mr. Frank Woods is a fair-minded train conductor. The writer knows him well, and has served under him as train porter. He is unaware that the Defender has any knowledge of him unloading his train porter at Champaign, Ill., on April 30, 1910, but as a rule any man who applies to the Illinois Central Railroad Company among the colored trace for a position, and as a rule if "discover you are not a man but this monkeyism your dahered in their service, aers are the members of the white man must play Uncle Ti service."

Thursday night at Woods' Academy, 2800 Wabash avenue, the Lady Forsters gave one of the finest dancing parties that has ever been given in the academy since it was in existence. At 9:30 over 150 people were in the hall ready for Prof. Garfield Wilson's orchestra. When the first waltz was played, at 11 o'clock, there was not dancing room. The chairman, Mrs. Rhoda P. Jones; the ticket agent, Mrs. C. C. Samuels; the teller, Mrs. Genevieve C. Wimp; and Floor Manager R. C. Kelly all expressed themselves as satisfied with the evening's receipts. The following ladies helped to make the party a success: E. Kersey, A. Cuffy, D. Carthell, M. Shivers, F. H. Artis, C. E. Hutchison, L. Terry, C. Brown, M. Stansberry, E. Darling, L. Miller, A. G. F. Simms, D. Forien and Mr. M. R. Roane. HOUSES TO RENT To Respectable Colored People. In certain sections of our town the above head line is in large letters floating to the breeze. Year in and year out our reporters have decided not to say anything for six months to see whether any one of our papers or clubs would take the matter up. Seeing that they have not and will not, we have decided to ask those people in the downtown section of State street and Wabash avenue to remove those "insulting signs." It is too bad that we have such ignorant people in our great city, where even our night school system is greater than many Southern State white universities, and they have the nerve to tell the world with their "sign," respectables of the race are so few in the 100,000 in Chicago that we must place such ads before strangers and other citizens. Did you ever see a sign for respectable Irishmen, Italians, Swedes or Poles, then why such for the negro. Away with them, and that soon, or we will complain to the police authorities. GEORGIA CONVICTS TO WEAR SHEATH GOWNS. Special to the Chicago Defender. Macon, Ga., May 6, 1910—Rome, Ga., has made the rest of the cities in the State look like 30 cents.

PRICE 5 CENTS NEGROES MARRIED TO OCTOROONS MUST LEAVE LOUISIANA Supreme Court Declares All Octo roons and Fair Mulattoes to Be White and Cannot Marry, Full Blooded Negroes. Great Excitement Prevailing All Over Louisiana—Families with Children, Some White and Some Dark, Are to Be Parted Asunder to Obey the Ruling of the Courts. Special to the Chicago Defender. New Orleans, May 6.—Throughout the length and breadth of the State there has never been such unrest as there is today since the days of the Civil War. The degree of the Supreme Court here which makes all mulattoes white, heretofore claimed as colored, is doing much to place the State in the hands of anarchy. Many mulattoes have openly declared that they would never submit to the laws and have threatened even the life of any sheriff who would dare molest them when seen on the streets or elsewhere with men of darker hue than themselves. The white men in the State who have been living with these women in concubinage have begun to make application for marriage certificates, whereby they can make these oocrooms and mulattoes their lawful wives. The way things look things will be in a dreadful state, and it is feared that serious trouble will be the outcome of the whole affair. Negroes who have octoroons as wives are receiving letters of decoy to leave their wives and the State generally, and if they refuse they are to be horsewhipped, and if they still refuse, to be lynched. The white women of the State is said to be holding secret meetings fight the outrage in the United St Supreme Court, and it is feared by some that all those who marry white men in the State will never be able to live there, as threats have been openly made to burn their homes. Over in Mississippi the white gentlemen of large estate and holdings are talking of legalizing the octoroons marriage of their State, and from the general talk about hotels and restaurants frequented by these gentlemen, and churchmen, the bill will be introduced in the next Legislature; and from all accounts it will pass in both the upper and lower houses. Many Negroes here are gloating over the fact that they can at last marry white men. The unfortunate thing about the law is that an octoroon or mulatto man will not be allowed to marry white women, and it is here when the hitch will come, for it is a known fact that these men feel just as important as white man, and if they are denied the right to marry white women the country may expect to have a great rise war on their hands. Then, too, since mulattoes and octrooons are declared white, and Negroes and whites cannot marry in the state, all Negroes who are married to octrooons and mulattoes are to be sent to the penitentiary if they continue to live together. Dentist and Inventor Was Known Throughout the South. Special to the Chicago Defender. Little Rock, Ark. May 6, 1910.—On April 17 Dr. J. H. Smith, 56 years old, one of the most prominent dentists in the South, died at 2 o'clock this morning at his home, 3420 High street, after an illness of three weeks. Funeral arrangements will be announced later. Dr. Smith had his office at 7011 Main street and had practiced dentistry in Little Rock for nearly thirty years. He was highly educated and was widely known as an artist, author and inventor. He was born in Boston, Mass., when he received his earlier education. Won 22 years old he moved to Chicago, where he studied dentistry, after opening an office in that city and remaining there until the Chicago fire, when he lost all of his property. He then came to Little Rock and started to practice here. He was the author of "Mammelle," a novel dealing with the reconstruction days, and at the time of his death was collecting data for a new book, "Black Mammies of the South." He was the inventor of a pea sheller and had recently been granted a patent. He was also an artist of ability, having received special note at both the Chicago and New Orleans expositions for pictures portraying Southern life. He was a member of several educational societies and was considered an authority on history of the civil war. He is survived by a wife and one daughter. The doctor was the first of his race to practice the profession in the city of Chicago. Owing to ill health he left in '60 or about '70 for the South, where he remained until his . tea . s % ° -~/SHERS. +4 ABBOTT, LL, B., FOUNDER AND EoITOR. | FOUNDED MAY @, 1905, ——— ee Issued weekly by Chicago Defender Pub- Ushing and Printing Company.

Freight tariffs showing considerable increases over the present rates from western territory to the Atlantic sea: beard will be filed with the Interstate Commission, to become effective June 1. ‘This is the first step taken by the rallroads which appears to indicate a purpose generally to increase freight rates throughout the country in order to enable them {o meet their increased operating expenses. Already tariffs have been filed for western roads increasing the rate for the transportation of wool from Min. neapolis and St. Paul to New York and other Atlantic seaboard points. The present rate on wool from Minne: Apolis to New York is 54 cents per hundred pounds, Under the provisions of the tariff the rate will be G4 cents a hundred pounds, an increase of near: ly 20 per cent, The rate to Boston will be proportionately higher. An Increase also has been made in the freight rate on live hogs _hetween Minneapolis and St. Paul and Chicago of 24% cents a hundred pounds, This is un increase of avout 12 per cent over the present rate. The tariffs al- ready filed with the commissioners are for all the roads in Western Freight Association territory and the increase will become effective simultancously on all of them.

The heavy lid of the stove now is lifted and the heated flames come surging out. Chicago was to have a local comedy season, but these rumors, which have been given out, do not seem to be well founded. Bert A. Williams is in vaudeville, and Black Patti goes to New York and closes. There has been some talk of Tom Brown's services having been secured to put on comedies at the Pekin for the summer, but in an interview with Mr. Brown it developed, and we are always having developments, that Mr. Brown is lonesome and sighs for another trip across the ocean. He expects to sail in June. So do others. They all sail in June, like the honeymoon tour of a wedding trip. The Pekin is probably doing well enough with mixed vaudeville, aided by the criticisms of a probable crank. A. B. Foremost Dramatic Critic. However, Manager Motts has demonstrated that, he is intelligent and as a public amusement purveyor seems to understand his business by giving a quiet ear to criticism, which comes from traditional worth and experience, rather than to retaliate to public ridicule. In so doing Mr. Motts has taught young, struggling actors a great and serious lesson in diplomacy. And any young actor who has ever played on State street is foolish to defy booking agents and scorn its amusement places, with no reputation, simply because his salary has been raised elsewhere and he wears a nicer suit of clothes and appears at a downtown big time vaudeville house at half past six. With such an actor there is always a weakness somewhere, both mentally and physically, and he will be glad to come some day to the Pekin to roost and sorry that he had roasted the press, as a combination. Your humble talent explorer has discovered a new song bird who is about to enter the field. The lady in question is Madame Hurd Fairfax, a prima donna of much voice ability, judging from what I heard at a parlor recital. Certain parties have been trying to induce Madam Fairfax, who halls from Cleveland, Ohio, to appear in a classical concert at Quinn Chapel, and listen while I whisper softly: The critic (yes) who has not appeared in Chicago in over ten years, and who is retired from the stage four years, has been asked to support the madam in said concert. But the critic must reserve his decision, as Manager Motts had offered him a date at the Pekin. More about Madam Fairfax will probably be written later. It has been announced upon good authority that King and Bailey, who are Mr. George L. Archer's Chocolate Drops, will positively appear at the Pekin next week, and it is evident that they will create a riot. Harry A. Brown, the Indian singing cartoonist of Brown and Hodges, appeared on the other side of town last week and slipped away, but will return later. Clemo and Clemo open in Cincinnati next week on the Fiske time. Chinese Walker is now connected with the Metropolitan booking agency at 107 Madison street, handling colored acts exclusively. Billy Williams, the original Frog man, has been slightly indoposed, but he is now retired from the stage and happy. He runs an automobile. The Original Rags, a parable singer, has been playing return dates all over the city. He is a man of experience and refinement, and knows the value of cordiality to 'other men of professional attainments, regardless of being familiarly acquainted. So he is another good example for young actors to pattern after. Emry Fiddler, of Fiddler and Shelton, has been in town for over a day. The team will jump to Salt Lake City and from thence to the Pacific coast enroute to Europe. Vernon Holden of Holden and Simmons is a familiar figure among the actors. The great La She is at the Pekin. I missed his act, but will see him later. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence A. Deas and Harry and Mrs. Lawrence A. Deas and Harry following the "Chocolate Drops." News has spread the "Chocolate Drops" that Madam Anna Cook Pankey, the great singer, and her husband, Theodore Pankey, has arrived in town from the far western Pantheon circuit, where they made a great hit and were highly entertained socially. Lew Proctor, the Dixie boy, is looking for a partner. Does anybody want to go upon the stage? Miller and Bowen, in "Too Brave to Fight," have made their vaudeville debut somewhere in the city. Look for them soon on State street. People who desire to buy music without going down town can get it cheaper at Will Foster's music store, on State street, across from the Monogram, than to pay car fare. Mr. Lester A. Walton, the popular dramatic editor of the New York Age, has been extremely obliging to actors of late as far as space on that busy paper will permit, and we shall hear more about New York later. Charles Gilpin has returned from the south. It had been rumored he would not come back, but he did. Cliff Green and Dolly Stewart made quite a hit at the Monogram a week ago, mention of which I had overlooked. The regular summer season of colored vaudeville opened up along State street directly after the sunshine of All Fool's day. Election day was very wet, but there was a clear sky at night, and as all the attractions at the Pekin and the two picture houses near 31st street were good, a line up resulted after a kinkerous loophole had swallowed those who failed to register. Enough said of the polls and let us proceed with the drama. There were two headliner attractions at the Pekin this week, Murphy and Frances and Herbert's dogs. Bert Murphy, as a comedian, is something of an entertainer, fortified by original steps in buck dancing and acrobatic feats, which win hearty and generous approval, and his songs were original and extra good. Miss Frances is a very good soubret, whose comedy work is rather speedy. Her dancing, too, is nimble, and her department of a kind which creates mirth and fosters advancement. George Evers, a white black face comedian, was so original and entertaining that his act is worthy of mention. The Grand theater had a good bill and the Monogram had Gary and Bamboo, Bessie Brady, Harry La Marr and the Griffin sisters. Miss Brady is a slender little thing, whose countenance is saved by large expressive eyes and a wealth of lovely hair. Her singing is voiceless, but her dancing, in a little red gown, was shy, but chic, and she trotted off the stage like Aida Overton Walker. Lilly Gary and Bamboo were a disappointment, because they are clever and have no act. Twice within a month have I mentioned this sort of thing. Where many white actors have an act and no talent, the colored race presents talented people with no act, and with shabby clothes, and neither will do. Miss Gary is a talented soubret, an excellent song dancer and as fair as any white lady upon the stage. And for that reason a retaliating dialogue by Damboo was out of place and not effective. This boy should have wore short pants and played the part of an errand boy. In the pathway of art we must observe that still the good work goes out and nobody cares who goes under. So take care, especially young actors who think that education creates experience; I know it don't. And no man knows what experience is until he obtains it. The way to get it is to keep your mouth shut tight and keep your cars and eyes open. Now, mind. The stove is hot, the lid has been lifted, and all actors know that fire will burn. How savage!

We will say to the Young Men's Enterprise we highly appreciate the young men for their service. We say to them, come again. Don't forget the entertainment given by the People's Club on April 25th. Rev. Co'bert, pastor of Zion A. M. E. Church, will preach at Wayman Sunday afternoon, April 10th, quarterly meeting day. The Zion choirs will sing also, and it is expected that Way- man's choirs will sit up and take notice. The pastor: Dr. Stewart, is away on a short vacation, but will return in time for the general class, which will be held on Friday, April 8th. The quarterly love feast will be held on Monday night, April 11th. INFORMATION ON CENSUS .TAKING. Department of Commerce and Labor. Bureau of the Census, Washington. IMPORTANT POINTS ON THE U. S. CENSUS. This information is prepared for the use of persons who have opportunities of teaching others. It is urged that ministers and subjects will make frequent use of these in impressing people with the great importance of giving census, and in preparing them to give the results. 1. Thirteenth general census of the U. S. States will be taken beginning April 15 to be completed within the next thirty days. 2. Great importance of learning the health, their wealth, their education, their homes and their general progress. Deceased frequently do great harm. 3. United States is still primarily an industrial country, hence the importance of the farm schedule. 4. Crops and animal products desired are those for 1983, while property and land are those for 1984, and bees, are those on hand April 15, 1984. Possibility of error is greatest in the case of the farmer who moves on to his land. If the farmer crops on the farm the crops for 1985 from the farmer who preceded. He in turn ought to tell his land, 2 acres and over, under the personal control of the cultivated land which he cultivated in 1983. 5. Note definition of a farm—as the land, 2 acres and over, under the personal control of the cultivated land which he cultivated in 1983. 6. The advocacy of keeping farm records forensus purposes is one which will give me an entering wedge on the whole matter of the land. The advocacy of a campaign a beginning will be made toward inducing people to keep records of great economic importance to themselves. Important Questions Asked of ALL Persons. 1. What was your exact age at last birthday? 2. Each mother will report how many children she and her husband and how many of her children are living. 3. Each family will report, whether home is rented, and if owned, whether entirely or partially mortgaged. 4. In giving occupation he should, whether you are an employer, or an employee, or working on your own account without employing labor. 5. On the first two questions give valuable information regarding the health of the nation. Answers to the last two questions are an indication of the prosperity of the nation. Important Questions Asked of Farmers. Information reported will not be given to they have consented and will be treated as strictly complied. A farm, according to the census, includes all the land cultivated under the person land of the farmer. A map of the nation. A porch or yard less than three acres is not to be considered a farm, unless it comprises all the time of one person or produced $250 worth of produce in 1999. Land operated by any of the following classes constitutes a separate farm and is not to be counted with the owner's farm. 1. By shape hands or croppers. 2.

PRINCE DRUG STORES CLOSED. WHY? The people about Armour and 35th are asking what's the matter with Dr. Brown's drug store; and to our surprise the doctor is asking the same question. It seems that Mr. Waters, a drug clerk, is the bump on the log. The doctor had intended moving his store to 2050 State street from Armour and 35th, and when a big van rolled up to the door, one of the men asked was this the drug store, and a man answered "Yes." "Well, we are going to move it." "Not to-day." "Why?" Well, because I won't let you." "Well, wait until Dr. Brown comes." "Yes," said the other van man. Round the corner the doctor pops. "Why don't you men get busy," said the doctor. "Why, this man won't let us." "Who are you, don't you know that this is my drug store?" "Well, it has been watered and the judge says it's his," and the doctor's colors fell. "Why. I have already paid $150 for my rent. The bailiff said, "Tell the judge that," and he left, looking for Mr. Waters, to get the pills out of the combination box he has placed them in. Hardly had our reporter gotten through with the above, when on passing 23d and State street, he saw on the Relief Pharmacy door so many bills that he thought the Pekin theater had moved. He looked a second time and then he drew near unto the door and he almost dropped. Why! Dr. Fisher is selling the Dr. Prince out at a sheriff's sale. Then our reporter hot on the doctor's trail. He alighted from a car, started for his office, which is above the store, but seeing a Defender reporter, turned short, grabbed the car before it could get a foot away and went on downtown and we have been unable to land the doctor to get further particulars than what the sale notices on the door stated.

On last Tuesday evening, at a dinner given by the Colored Men's Commercial Association at the Pekin Inn, I was very much surprised to hear the toastmaster and one of the most prominent men present, when introducing the different business men, say that a contractor did not need to be an educated man. Aside from the fact that he was not requested to express his opinion as to how much education any man should have, it showed conclusively that he did not know as much as he might know concerning the matter. assailant so efficaciously across its face with its sharp claws that it retired a quickly as it came. After an interval the old fox, advancing slowly and carefully, made its attack; the result was the same, the cat, spitting and hissing, struck out hard, and the fox retired discomfited. A minute afterward it again sprang forward, but this time the cat go much the best of it and was left in peace.—London Globe. Their Difference. "They appear to have a difference between them." "Yes. She says he slighten her a last night's dance." In the course of his remarks he mentioned that he knew a very illiterate man who could look at a building and tell the cost, and the amount of material in it. Well! Blind Tom could play the most difficult music without looking at it at all. Shall my daughter give up her music lessons on that account? During the days of slavery nearly all the slaves could look at the heavens and tell whether the weather would be fair or foul, and could tell [Name] the hour of the day by the shadows on the ground, and they could neither read nor write; now shall the great astronomers and scientists close their books and cease their studies? The most ignorant shaves knew the healing roots and herbs, shall the greatest medical schools of the land close their doors? I do not regret one minute that I spent in college, and I am studying still as all men are doing who do not intend to be a bump on a log. I am truly glad that neither of my five sons heard the gentleman's remarks, as being young, they might have been influenced, and the ideas that I am trying so hard to instill into their youthful mind might have taken wings. During the holidays I asked my 11-year-old son how many bricks there were in our barn and about how much it would cost to build it. After looking it over he gave the answers which I found to be fifty more bricks than were in the barn, and twelve dollars less than it took to build it. He was very much elated over having come near the correct answer, and wanted to go right away and have printed his business cards and letter heads and set up as a contractor. I of course explained to him how far he was from the goal and what a small part the knowledge of the number of bricks played in the requirements for a contractor. But after listening to the gentleman on Tuesday evening, it occurred to me that some men, after all, are only boys grown tall. CHAS. R. LEWIS. In a recent number of a German sporting paper, a forester describes a scene which he witnessed in a clearing in the forest. He came one afternoon upon a big black cat, occupied apparently in the pursuit of mice, and from the shelter of a tree he watched its movements through a field glass. After a few minutes an old fox made its appearance. Slinking slowly forward toward the cat, it lay down within a few steps of it, ready to spring. The cat had observed its enemy, but beyond keeping a sharp lookout on its movements it made no sign. Shortly a young fox joined the old one, and almost immediately bounded at the cat, which sprang aside and struck its CHAS. R. LEWIS. Cat and Fox Meet. assailunt so efficiously across its face with its sharp claws that it retired as quickly as it came. After an interval the old fox, advancing slowly and carefully, made its attack; the result was the same, the cat, spitting and hissing, struck out hard, and the fox retired discomfited. A minute afterward it again sprang forward, but this time the cat got much the best of it and was left in peace.—London Globe. "They appear to have a difference between them." "Yes. She says he slighted her at last night's dance." "Oh, then it's only a slight difference, after all." We don't know what the standard is in other towns, but in Atchison no woman is old so long as she can beat the fire engine in running to a fire. Explains His Attitude as to the "Rambler" Column. My Dear Mr. Editor—I will appreciate it if you will give the following space in your paper. I cannot give any reason, other than my being socially identified with your paper, for some of my (envious would-be friends) giving me credit of being the author of the (knock) on the Charity ball, which appeared in the "Kambler Column" of your paper of last week's issue. If the charge was pertaining to any other cause, I would ignore it, as I rate absolutely nothing about individual or public criticism; and you may rest assured, when I have an occasion to criticize anybody or thing, I will do so over my signature. The "Kambler" column to me, is like an anon, mous better, therefore, the editor, author or whoever he might be, in the future, confer a favor on me by leaving my name out of it, let it be complimentary or otherwise. The appearance of the Eighth Regiment officers in uniform, in my opinion, added dignity to the affair. The playing of the Eighth Regiment hand could not have been improved on. I make this public explanation simply on the worthiness of the Charity ball, and not to smooth over anything, as I am not socially, politically or otherwise obligated to these would-be friends.
