The 8th Regiment Grand Military Ball Seventh Regiment Armory Monday Evening, May 8th VOLUME VI. NUMBER 14. During the past month the Matron has supplied quite a number of persons with help, in different lines of work. No less than twenty persons have called up by phone, or in person, to see how we are getting along, and various donations have come in. Many were in need of girls or women to sew. We are glad to say the Matron was able to send persons to them. We have room for several more good girls. We take in only girls who respect the "home" and themselves; no others need apply, for the Matron will certainly hunt your record, and where you were living, before coming there. This is done to avoid future trouble, for every person going from the "home" either brings us the respect of the persons they go to or the reverse. We are glad the members are still bringing in their money. We need it very much as our expenses still go on. Mrs. Mercer, $1.00; Mrs. W. H. Eaton, $2; Mrs. Webster, 50 cents; Mrs. Clalbourne, $1; Mrs. Addie Morris, $1; Mrs. Shivers, 40 cents; Mrs. Keith, $1; Mrs. Jessie Johnson, $1; Fannie Hall Clint, matinee tickets, 50 cents; Mrs. D. C. Simons, one box containing towels, comforters, sheets and magazines. We are very thankful for these donations. If you have any articles you wish us to have for the "home," call up Douglas 5975; if you do not wish to bring them we will send for them. Wishing to show our hearty appreciation to Mrs. Wells and all the friends and members of the various clubs who helped us, we shall have an informal reception April 20th, at the residence of Mrs. E. L. Davis, 3226 Prairie avenue, from 2 to 6 p. m. The gentlemen as well as the ladies are ex- PRESIDENT MARSHALL. M. H. COL. J. R. MARSHALL. pected. Special invitations to the Chronicle and Defender editors. We thank both papers for their hearty support. They have been a great help to us and we are trying to help them by getting our members to take the papers regularly. All who did not get last week's "Chronicle" should do so, as the complete financial report is there. If there are any mistakes let the financial secretary know about it. MR. JEROME BARLW TO SPEAK AT OLIVET. Mr. Jerome Barlow, of Boston, Mass., will address the Standard Literary Society of Olivet Baptist Church, 27th and Dearborn streets, at 3:15 p.m. The subject will be, "Social Unrest in Relation to the Women's Suffrage Movement." Mildred Ardath Davenport, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Davenport, 3400 Forest avenue, departed this life Saturday, April 1, 1911, at 2:20 p. m. Age 4 months and 3 weeks. We wish to thank our many friends for kindness shown in our bereavement, also for the many beautiful floral offerings. Burial at Mt. Glenwood Cemetery. MR. and MRS. R. L. DAVENPORT. The 8th I h Regim COL. JOHN R. MARSHALL NOT BOTHERED Embarrassing Situation at San Antonio Results from Fact That Colonel John R. Marshall, Senior Officer from This State, Is Black. CHIEFS NEGLECTED. Charges That Ninth Cavalry Men Have Been Disorderly and Request That They Be Removed Stirs Up Hornet's Nest. Because Colonel John R. Marshall, senior of the eleven officers of the Illinois national guard, now attending the school of instructions at San Antonio, Texas, is a negro, an embarrassing situation has developed in military circles in that city, and word was received in Chicago last night that relations between Colonel Marshall and his fellow officers are becoming more strained every hour. It is the custom of the War Department to hold a school of instruction for militia officers about once a year, to which a proportionate number of officers from each state are invited. Illinois' quota this year was eleven. They were selected by Gov. error Deneen, and the list was headed by Colonel Marshall, in command of the Eighth infantry, colored. Necessarily, there is much social life where the "schools" are held, and the advent of the colored colonel in San Antonio is causing much comment. Usually each National Guard officer or each body of officers is assigned to some of the division officers of the federal army for entertainment and instruction. But no one has yet been found who is willing to accept the assignment to extend these courtesies to Colonel Marshall. An Appointee of Governor Deneen. Colonel Marshall is one of two field officers appointed by Governor Deneen, the other being Major Lewis F. Strawn, First Battalion, Third infantry. An officer of the I. N. G. now in Chicago said last night that a possible reason for the selection of Colonel Marshall by the Governor was that he was the only colonel in the state who had finished his annual inspection. The Second Regiment was inspected last night and the Seventh will line up for that purpose tonight. The inspection of the Eighth Regiment, of which Colonel Marshall is the commanding officer, was finished a week ago last Thursday. A dispatch from Washington to a San Antonio paper stating that President Taft, at the request of the Texas congressional delegation, had ordered the removal of the Ninth (negro) cavalry from the maneuver division, stirred up a horse's nest there today. Major General W. H. Carter, in command of the division, said: "I have received no such order and do not expect to receive it. The conduct of the troops, both white and black, has been exemplary." The Colonel's Defender Dispatch. The Colonel sent a telegram to the Defender stating that he was fine; arrived on the 3d and things going well; he says Illinois will be cared of The Chicago Defender. all right. By that we may judge that our local daily sent on ahead to feel out the situation. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY CLUB The regular business meeting of the club was not as well attended by the members as it should have been. The reports of all the various departments, especially the Matron's report, were excellent and show that we are steadily coming. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1911. RACE PROBLEM THEM SHORE REPTILES GET THEY THE OLD PENCE RIGHT ALONG! -I'M ROUND AGAIN, HONEY WITH A NEW STORY— ABOUT TH' OLD-BLACK-CROW IN TH' HICKRY TREE— THOS. DIXON NORTHERN PUBLIC THE REASON THE NEGRO VOTED THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET The Young Negroes Resenting the Treatment Offered Them at the Hands of the Republican Party, for Not Giving Their Sons and Daughters Work; the Same Having to Find Employment as Maids and Piano-players in Houses of Prostitution. YOUNG NEGRO DEMANDS RIGHTS. The Republican Bosses Who Demanded That They Pay Off the Colored Workers and Not Let the Colored Men in Charge Handle the Money Is Another Cause for the Defeat of the Party on April 4. Much Stress Was Put on This by the Rank and File of Voters on Election Day. The hangman's noose was placed about the neck of the Republican party on Tuesday, and the unrest of the Negroes, which was unheeded by the party, incensed them more to goreing than anything the party could have done. The old Negro, who was willing to stand by the party because he thought the party freed him, is no longer in control of power, and these is unable to tell his sons and make him believe the opposite of what he has learned in college. The young white men who are taking their fathers' places in the management of the republican party must learn that the young Negro is also educated and will not stand for the phrase, "The Negro soldier fought bravely," and other rot. The young Negro wants the young white Republican leader to consider a citizen and to be given the chance as such; 500,000 foreigners without a vote is no good to any party, still they get all the work and the Negro gets nothing. In the great onslaught on vice which was published in Thursday's Tribune, which shows how advantage is being taken of the colored people by the Republican party, in the following paragraph, will give you reason No. 1 why the Negroes have slashed the ticket and cast their lot with the Democats: Negro Girls Driven to Evil. "In addition to this proximity to immoral conditions young colored girls are often forced into idleness because of a prejudice against them, and they are eventually forced to accept positions as maids in houses of prostitution. "Employment agents do not hesitate to send colored girls as servants to these houses. They make the astounding statement that the law does not allow them to send white girls but they will furnish colored help! "The apparent discrimination against the colored citizens of the city in permitting vice to be set down in their midst is unjust and abhorrent to all fair minded people. Colored children should receive the same moral protection that white children receive." Reason Number 2 is this: When the Negro sees conductors and motormen on the surface and elevated railroads who are just from across the water come and get work, and who hardly know the streets in the Loop district, and he is forced to stand on the corner and forced to pay a nickel for his ride, with no chance of ever getting a cent in return, not even to wash cars at the barn, and if he did he would be forced to work for lower wages, he rebels and says he will continue to do so until he is given a chance as a man and a citizen. The American Negro asks no favors from any man; he only asks a man's chance to earn a living for himself and family. How in the world can the Republican, or any other party, expect to get the fullest support from any people who are half starved and in want one half the time? How can they wonder now that the Negro did not support them in this great fight where Mr. Merliam lost. It is not the fault of the leaders, for they worked like bees; it is the fault of the party in not protecting the Negro in his fight for his daily bread. Open the doors of the workshops and the commercial business to the boys and girls of the race, with pay equal to that of the whites, and we will prove to the "grand old party" that when the test comes the Negro will not be found wanting. JACK JOHNSON CAN'T COME BACK. San Francisco, April 5.—Jack Johnson, heavyweight pugilist, will never save his $4,000 in litigation pending in New York city if he depends upon Acting Police Judge Treadwell, who sentenced him to twenty-five days in the county jail, for speeding his automobile, to sanction his parole. The magistrate was advised today that District Attorney Fickert and Sheriff Finn were not opposed to the parole plan of the colored boxer under the circumstances, but Judge Treadwell failed to see wherein Johnson was entitled to any court tenency. He had been sentenced to serve twenty-five days in prison because he persistently disregarded all ordinances in his violation of the speed law, and the judge is of the opinion that his sentence is just what was coming to him. Johnson was before Police Judge Weller to answer to a charge of speeding in which the warrant had once been withheld by Chief of Police Seymour. Policeman Seymour, who arrested the champion on this charge and who now stands himself accused of two charges of accepting bibles, did not appear against the pugilist and Judge Weller dismissed the case. In directing the dismissal Judge Weller said that Johnson was now serving a term in prison for violating the speed laws and he did not like to add to his term, as it might seem like persecution. He added, however, that had Johnson, appeared before him while not a prisoner serving a term he would send him to fail. CARTER H.

Everything in the power of the leaders has been done to make the line of march down Michigan avenue a success. Carter H. Harrison, the Democratic Mayor, will take steps, it is said, to close the Lyric Theater, where "The Sins of the Father" is playing. There was great sorrow in both church and theatrical circles when the news had spread that Fred William Burch had died at his home on Friday morning, March 31st, at 8:30 a.m. A few weeks ago Mr. Burch had contracted a serious stage of asthma and caught a cold which developed into pneumonia which suddenly ended his life. The funeral took place Monday, April 3rd, at Bethel A. M. E. Church, where he had served as its first organist before he entered the theatrical profession. Rev. E. J. Fisher of Olivet Baptist Church, who knew the family, assisted by Rev. D. P. Roberts, conducted the services.

NEGRO AND WHITE WIFE MYSTERIOUSLY KILLED AT SAN ANTONIO, TEX. MOST DEPLORABLE CRIME Were Both Respectable Citizens with a Family. (Special by the Chisholm News Service.) San Antonio, Texas, April 7.—After a week's investigation a crime that has stirred this whole portion of Texas remains still a mystery. Theory after theory is advanced, clues pounced upon and dropped. The murder of Louis Casaway, the Negro school janitor, his white wife and their children is apparently no nearer solution than when their bodies, cold in death and besmirched with blood, were found in their home. The crime, absolutely inhuman in its conception and atrocious in its execution, sent a thrill of horror through this town and section of the country. That any human being could deliberately take an ax and kill an absolutely harmless family seems beyond reason. To kill the man and woman is horrid, but when the flend even slew the pretty girls, a small baby and terminated a whole family, the motive, if any, appears to have been something of a desperate nature. Twenty years or more ago this white woman, who before her marriage to a white man named Leyne was an Elizabeth Castaldo. Abandoned by her husband of her color, she secured a divorce and married Louis Casaway. Casaway was always an industrious person, and when Negroes participated to a large extent in politics, he took considerable interest in them and had much influence with his own people and the whites. In Texas, as other southern states, Negroes and whites are no. allowed VINGTON, JR. Hotel on Thursday.

This couple went to old Mexico and had their marriage formed, but returned to this city to live. Subsequently attraction was started against them, but the grand jury that investigated the matte failed to return a bill against them and they were allowed to go unmoilested thereafter. DEFENDER REPRESENTATIVE 18 OFF FOR WISCONSIN. Mr. R. G. Bruce, Evanston, representative of the Defender, will leave for a week's stay in Wisconsin in the interest of the Defender. He goes with a full supply of Defenders and samples of the Dunbar book, to get subscribers for the Defender. He will spend two days in Racine, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. French, in compil-ment to the Defender. Mr. Bruce is student of Northwestern. University, shows signs of a coming man. The people of Evanston have stood by this young man and are doing all in their power, financially and otherwise, to push him to the front. Mr. Bruce is confident of getting 200 subscribers next week. We are sure he will not fall short of his estimate. Regiment Armory, Evening, May 8th PRICE 5 CENTS ```markdown ``` WOMAN IN BUSINESS SHOULD NOT BE SENSITIVE. She Is Not Paid Because She Is Pretty or Stylish, but Because She Is The woman who finds herself facing the problem of earning a living should immediately proceed to get rid of her sensitive feelings, if she has any. She would do well to try to sink her personality during business hours and keep saying to herself that only her work counts, that she is not paid because she is pretty or stylish, but just because she is useful to the business which pays her wages. When she falls in that her good looks will not save her. A capable girl with permahaps, neither beauty nor style, will succeed her. The employers who are hiring girls for their charms are few, and the girls who have to work are many. Feminine workers are striving to secure the wages of men, which can only be done by doing men's work. Now men do not expect praise and it does not turn their head when it is given. As a rule they do not accept reproof as a personal injury. The just employer gives both praises and blame. When he pays promptly he expects good work every day and not according to the feelings of his workers. When there is a valid reason for lenency—like illness, for instance—he is kind, but for shirking he has no mercy. A man who employs more than fifty women told me that he had no trouble with them because he treated them exactly as he would treat men. His creed was so much work for so much money and he reasoned that no woman had a right to accept a position she could not fill. I think that was fully understood by his office, for he was in the habit of going away and returning without warning, and he seemed satisfied with the result. Women are not yet accustomed to being treated with the lack of courtesy which makes the atmosphere of a business place. A man whose brain is turning over important plans cannot give particular attention to the tone in which he addresses an employee. It may be brusque without his knowing it or intending any unkindness. A man would pay no attention to tone as long as words were decent, but to a woman's sensitive ear the tone is everything. It seriously affects her work, so business men claim, and it is the necessity for avoiding trouble that turns them in favor of male workers. I saw a badly ironed sheet taken back to the kitchen recently by a woman who is never anything but kind to her employees. "When you find clean clothes that look like this, Mary, do not bring them to me; do them over." The girl burst into tears with the re- "not nobody had ever found fault in laundry, till then, I do." the reasoning to bring her to name of mind, and the woman decided to replace her by one less sensitive at the earliest opportunity. It came last week—Betty Braden in the Buffalo Enquirer. No More "Ticket-of-Leave" Mer No More "Ticket-of-Leave" Men. The old ticket-of-leave system—the staple of many an honest melodrama after Charles Peace—has at last gone altogether. Henceforth the discharged convict really anxious to make a clean start will not be brought into direct contact with the police. Up to now the convict has been supervised by the police on the one hand and cared for by various philanthropic societies on the other, and there has been no cooperation between the police and the societies. The new scheme is to combine into a central body the societies which have hitherto alided discharged prisoners and to give this body authority to deal with the convicts and funds to carry on the work. This body will be responsible for the convicts whose interests it serves, and the police will have more dealings with discharged prisoners so long as they keep from further crime.—From the London Saturday Review. Experience to Remember A woman and her four-year-old child were rescued early the other morning on a Welsh mountain after a terrible ordeal. They visited some relatives and started back across the Derl mountain. The woman, however, took the wrong road, and as night fell found she was lost. In the darkness, both she and the child fell into a brook. They managed to articulate themselves, but as they ran to and fro, wet through and bitterly cold, the child left its mother's side. The woman wandered about screaming for help, until a workman heard her. Search parties were at once sent out, and the child was discovered in a plantation, almost dead from exposure, with a bad wound in the head caused by falling over a rock. It had been without food, on the frozen mountain side, for sixteen hours. Outlet for the Makang At the present time Bangkok and Korat are already joined by a railroad, and the French are negotiating for the extension of this work eastward from Korat, whence it would pass almost due east to Hugh, cross the Mekong at Kamarat, and eventually finding the sea at Turan. The country between Komarat and Hugh is mountainous and the construction of this section would be excessively costly. Were the engineering difficulties to be overcome, however, it is possible that Turon might become the outlet of the bulk of the trade for the upper valley of the Mekong.—From "Further India." A. Wise Mayor. Mayor Crump, at a Democratic banquet in Memphis, said of a political turncoat: "He is as inconsistent in politics as man is in love. "Man's inconsistency in love is, you know, proverbial. The average man, as soon as he wins a woman, tires of her. The advice I'd give to every girl is this: "There is only one way to keep a man's love, and that is never to ren it." MAYVILLE ITEMS.

Belligerent One Came as an Acceptable Diversion to Monotony and Dreary Grind in Life of This Disciple of Blackstone. "I have come," said the large man who had entered the law office and bolted the door after him, "to give you the worst whipping you ever had in your life. I've just served three months in jail and you sent me there, and I'm going to make soup bones of you if I swig for it." "Have you considered the consequences, my friend?" asked the small, pallid lawyer, as he put down the large book he had been reading. "You shouldn't undertake a contract of such a character without being familiar with all the legal phases of the matter. In an action for assault and battery, such as would certainly be brought against you, malice afore thought would be easily shown. Where an assault occurs under stress of great excitement or provocation, judges and juries regard the defendant leniently, but where the attack has been deliberately planned, as in this case, and where threats of extreme bodily violence have been uttered, the verdict is bound to be severe. I am trying to present the case to you in non-technical terms, purely for your own good." "Lots you care about: my own good," grumbled the belligerent visitor. "I don't want any of your advice. I am going to smash you the best I know how, so come from behind that desk." "Have you considered," asked the lawyer, "that when inflicting punishment upon me you are liable to sustain severe injuries yourself? Not that I would resist, for that would be hopeless. But the human head is largely composed of bone and the fist that hits it is apt to be broken. You surely have read of the numerous prisioners who have broken their arms in the ring? If a prisioner sustains such injuries, what can an ordinary citizen hope for? "Moreover, my head is unusually, bony and many of 'the bones are angular, and I feel sure that you would break your wrist or some of your fingers, at least." "There was an interesting case chronicled in the Southeastern Law Reporter a few weeks ago. A citizen whose name I have forgotten assaulted his family attorney and broke his arm. He was sent to the penitentiary for the assault and his arm had to be amputated. Think of spending years in the penitentiary minus an arm!" "I'm willing to take the chances. Here goes—" When the visitor recovered his faculties he was curled up on the floor and the lawyer was seated upon his bosom, holding a piece of lead pipe in one hand. "The next time you contemplate an attack upon a learned and eloquent attorney," said the lawyer, "be sure to commit the assault first and discuss your grievances afterward. I knew I had this length of lead pipe somewhere in my desk, but I couldn't remember in which drawer I had placed it. However, you gave me plenty of time to find it, and here we are, having an excellent, comfortable time, and merry men are we. I can't tell you how glad I am that you came up to see me. The chief drawback of a lawyer's life is the intransable monotony. Think, my dear sir, of the dreary round of duties which make up his existence!" "Let me up," begged the formerly belligerent visitor. "I've had enough." belligerent visitor. "I've had enough." "All in good season, my friend. So many hours a day in his dingy office! So many hours in the sepulchral courtroom! That is the story of the lawyer's day. He loses track of human emotions, human passions, human ambitions, save as he encounters them in greedy books. None but a lawyer can understand what a blessing it is to see a man come in, as you came in, looking for trouble! You have renewed my youth! You have made me a man again, when I was becoming a machine! Rise up. William Riley, or whatever your name is, and kindly permit me to kick you all the way down stairs!" Simple Living. A Frenchwoman has given it as her opinion that if the Englishwoman would take more honest pleasure in the work of cooking, discuss it more, and be more vitally interested in it, they would very speedily cast off the accusation of thriftlessness. And no doubt she is right. It is our unnatural use of time and energy, making dress, amusement and sport the channels which drain away our best powers, that leave so little of either for what ought rightly to be looked upon as "the sweet and necessary labor of the day," preventing us from seeing clearly how we may attain to the truly simple life. When we have put the essential things of life into their right place, the non-essentials may be safely left to take care of themselves. Colors In Store Teeth Pearly teeth are not the fashion everywhere. Firms of artificial teeth manufacturers who have an export trade have to keep in stock molars of every shade of color from white to black. There is a steady demand for black teeth in Slam, Java, Batavia and Burma, where the natives chew the betel nut, which blackens the teeth. For Persia the teeth must be absolutely milk white. Recently an order was received from Bhavnagar, in India, for some bright red and blue artificial teeth. Smokers' teeth are regularly supplied to dentists in shades to match those which have been discolored by nicotine.

Sense of Humor Saves Him From Censure Because of His Dis- obedience. Several years ago, while managing the gas and electric property at Madison, Wls., I came in daily contact with an Irishman by the name of Malaney who was then superintendent, says Henry L. Doherty. He had a keen appreciation of humor and wilt and was never so happy as when he could make you wonder whether he was extremely foolish or extremely witty. His bulls were often, and perhaps always, premeditated. I liked to joke with him, although I generally got the worst of it. He had a persistent habit of working on Sunday, and it seemed to me that he always picked out a job of trenching in front of some church or equally conspicuous place. While in spirit he was one of the most loyal and obedient employees I ever had, in reality he did not know how to mind. Whenever I spoke to him about his Sunday work, he would always say: "When the ox falls into the pit he shall be taken out." The whole difference was between his opinion and mine as to what really constituted an ox in a pit. Finally I had to give him orders that he was never to work on Sunday without my consent. For several weeks there was no cause for complaint. I was absent from the city for two or three weeks and returned unexpectedly on a Sunday. While out for a drive I saw a ditch open in a side street and guessed in a moment that Malaney was at work there with some of his men. I drove down to the ditch, and found him on his knees trying to blow up a fire in a lead kettle. He would not have seen me at all if I had not spoken to him; but, coming up immediately behind him, I said: "Mr. Malaney, have I not told you repeatedly that you must not work on Sunday?" He almost collided with my last, words by his ready response, which was: "Ye did, ye did; but I forgot to ask you whether you were a Jew or a Gentle." -The Sunday Magazine. One on Lloyd George. A joke on Lloyd George, the chancellor of the exchequer, is going round the London newspaper offices. An arctic explorer recently approached him with a view to obtaining treasury assistance for an expedition he had planned: Lloyd George replied that the proper course for the applicant to adopt was first to obtain help from outside bodies of citizens, such as the stock exchange, and then to apply, if necessary, to the government. The explorer withdrew, but was quickly back in the chancellor's office. "Have you been successful?" asked Lloyd George. "Partly so," replied the explorer. "How much money Lave you got from the stock exchange?" "Only £50," answered the answer, "but with the prospect of a great deal more on conditions which require the co-operation of the chancellor of the exchequer." "What are those conditions?" "There were, two," said the traveler. "One was that they would make it £25,000 if I took you with me to the pole, and £50,000 if I left you there." --- Only Seeking Information Dr. Tunnell was sitting in the dispensary of the Medico-Chi hospital the other day, when a woman entered, looking as if she were much in need of a physician's services. The physician looked at her and decided what the trouble was. He sought to get the history of the case. The woman replied in the negative to all his questions, and then mumbled something in a tongue that Dr. Tunnell took to be Italian. After striving for 15 minutes to get something from her, the doctor sent for an interpreter, and told him to tell the woman that if she wished to be admitted to the hospital she would have to give her name and the history of her aliment. After listening to the man's explanation she looked at him, smiled, and said: "I only came in to find out the best way to get to Roxborough."—Philadelphia Times. Young New Yorkers Young New Jersey Huntress. I am a young lady and I hunt, trap and fish. The bear furriers here are coon, skunk, rats, and a few minks—and foxes and no opossum at all. I belong to a young ladies' rifle club of about 25 members. My catch last winter was 48 skunks, 12 coons, 4 minks, 33 rats, 3 foxes and 1 bear. I sold them to a raw fur company at Port Jarvis, N. Y. When I set all my traps I have a line of 50 traps at work while I sleep. My catch this winter so far is 22 skunks, 24 rats, 14 coons, 5 minks, 5 foxes, and 1 marten, and I sold three of my mink for $7 apiece. And for game I hunt rabbits, pheasants, quails, squirrels and woodchucks and a stray bear, and my catch this fall is as follows: Twenty-two rabbits, 18 quails, 12 pheasants, 30 squirrels, 15 woodchucks.—From a Letter in Fur News. Long New Zealand Tunnel A tunnel in course of construction connecting Christchurch with Greymouth on the New Zealand government railways, is to be one of the largest in the world. Compressed air drills are being used, and when finished, the bore will be $5\frac{1}{2}$ miles long. Work was commenced in 1908, and five years are allowed the contractors in which to complete their construction. The tunnel will have a height above rails of $15\frac{1}{2}$ feet. It is of horseshoe form, 14 feet wide at the rail level. The ordinary section has a 12-inch, which is of concrete, faced with concrete blocks. The borings are being made from both ends, and the rate of progress is about 12 feet per day. Its Kind. "Why, the team is this town loses a game after game.

When the air is very thick and hazy it may contain floating dust particles to the number of from 10,000 to 20,000 in every cubic centimeter, while a cubic conti meter of very clear air may contain only from a dozen to a few hundred particles. An English observer's data indicates that there is a relation between the quantity of dust and the temperature of the air. A great amount of dust, it is thought, increases the temperature in the daytime and checks the fall of temperature at night. The reason is that the presence of dust serves as an obstruction to the free radiation of heat through the air. The sunbeams pass through very pure, clear air without lending much heat to it, and at night the heat received by the ground during the day readily escapes through the same air; but if the atmosphere is heavily laden with dust, the sun's rays are partially arrested by the particles which, becoming heated, in turn warm the air, and in like manner heat radiated from the earth at night is retained in the hazy layers of air in contact with its surface. Without its atmosphere, which serves as a coverlet to protect it against the fearful cold of space, the surface of the earth would be frozen like that of the airless moon. But the data gathered by reliable observers show that the atmospheric blanket wrapped around our planet varies in its power to retain heat in proportion to the amount of dust particles that it contains. -Harper's Weekly. WHERE ART WAS AT FAULT House Maid Has Trouble With Picture of Leaning Tower of Pisa. Among the engravings that adorned the walls of a Toledo woman's home was one big one of the leaning tower of Pisa. One morning, shortly after the advent of a new maid, the mistress of the house noticed that the picture of the tower hung crooked. She straightened it and said nothing of the matter to the new servant, who had evidently shifted it while dusting. The next day the picture was again crooked; the same thing happened the next day and the next. Finally, one morning, chancing to be in the room where the picture was, the mistress said to the maid as she dusted: "Mary, you've hung that picture of the tower crooked. Just look at it!" "That's what I say, mum," returned the domestic, "look at it! The only way I can git that blamed tower to hang straight is to hang the picture crooked."—Lippincott's. Unredeemed Parls Pledge An incident not without pathos occurred toward the end of last week at a sale of unredeemed pledges at the Mont de Pleite. There were sold by auction a child's drinking cup, plate, spoon and knife and fork. Fifty-one years ago these souvenirs were deposited in the Paris municipal pawnshop. Every year since the interest has been paid regularly and the right of redemption secured, but the family never seem to have possessed the necessary 15 or 20 francs to resume possession. Evidently the poor people are either dead or have become more needy. Two years ago the interest ceased to be paid, but the department, to their credit, abstained from selling these "iares and penates." Several letters were addressed at the last known residence and to other places where the pawners have lived, but they have come back marked "Inconnu." The sands of the glass have run out and the objects so carefully guarded for half a century have been sold. Buzzard Freed of Trap After a chase of three hours, Abram Leyton and his son captured one of the largest buzzards ever seen in this section. Attached to the bird's leg was a steel trap and an iron chain three feet long. The buzzard was so emaciated that it could hardly fly with its burden, which it had evidently carried for months, as the wound made by the snapping of the steel trap had entirely healed. The bird did not show sight, but seemed glad to get rid of its burden, and it looked so pitiful that Mr. Leyton had compassion on it and it set it free—Clayton Correspondence Philadelphia Record. Fastening Battery Wires There are two ways of doing almost everything, and this is especially true of fastening battery and coil terminal wires. One way is wrong, and the other is to twist the bare end of the wire around the terminal as the hands of the clock move, and then tighten up the nut. The reason for this is because the screw-thread is right-handed, therefore the tendency of the tightening nut will be to twist the wire around the terminal tighter than it was. Should the wire be twisted the other way, the nut would tend to untwist it and it would slip under the nut and very likely get a very poor hold. Tiles Made by Saxons In the north of Stafordshire, within the parish boundaries of Stoke-upon-Trent, lies the district called the Potteries. Though little is known of the earliest days of its history it is certain that tiles were made there by the Saxons, as some have been found during excavations made in recent times, and fragments of cooking and domestic utensils, probably of Roman origin were discovered there also. Delicate Hint The following verse will be found on the door of the parish church at Stretton-en-le-Field. Derbyshire, England: "If in this church you'd like to see, call at the rectory for the key, and if your heart is so inclined, the church expenses box you'll find." Overcrowded. "There's no doubt," remarked a shopkeeper, "there are too many humbugs and swindlers in this town." "That is so," agreed his companion; "you and I must leave it!"

The flap of each envelope reels against the back of the other so that the contents cannot be removed without destroying the cover. Electric Kissing.

Because one partleular actor set a bad example it Is foolish of others to damage themsolves by doing likewise. The recent apprehen- sion of an Ignorant young singer who sings In houses of ill fame and who, upon investigation, ts found to be a crank and a dangerous fellow who has made throats and carries a knife to cut people and also the errors of @ poor, weak actress are features which men of Mr. Russells position naturally Investigate and detectives will be ready to get them whenever called upon, to give an account of themselves and be landed bebind prison walls— they or any others in a frame up. In the meantime Mr, Russell Is not In the least afraid of such people and will vigorously protect himself. Twelve years ls a long record for # critic, who improves each year by broadened ex- perience and whose life 1s too valua- ble to elther praise or criticise low stage people of criminal instincts. He will now return to his proper sphere. He will comment on things of eduea- tional and artistle value and eritictse and praise actors who are in @ posi- tion to understand its worth. Negro actors will take anything from a white man in a white newspaper and not even grunt. So the best way will be for Bir. Russell, whom the world recognizes as a little more than the Black Alan Dale, to stick to the bigh- er aim-and station of his calling im the newspaper and literary domain, and not stoop to flatter even a musi- cian who don't know enough to appre- ciate him. ‘The election of Hon. Carter H. Har- vison to mayor of the city has no doubt met with the approval of the masses. He is a man who has no doubt benefited fourfold by his past experience in the same capacity. He is benefited by the sacrifice of his father and the sympathy which the neople of Chicago inherit as a memor- iat to bls family, His past admin- istration, whlch did not fall below tho level of others of his party, is anoth- er strong argument favoring his pres- ent possibilities. It can also be said that hls campaign was conducted with & great deal of dignity and with less pretense on the part of his represen- tatives than the Republican party. Ip speaking of the great colored popu- lation of the South Side, the support- ers of both candidates was heavy. Tho Hyde Park incident was no doubt dam- aging to Merriam, whose election could have been possible by a unanl- mous effort of the colored vote. There was too much doubt expressed among his leaders and too much of a disposi- tion of selfishness displayed in the exceutive delegation, toward such a man as could have done the party mucb good. The election of George F, Harding, Jr, as Republican Alder- man of the second ward was but a demonstration of what the people will do for a man Who is worthy and popu- lar, But there need be no alarm on the South @de because Mr. Harrison got in, for in some respects, many fea- turés of his past administration have been most favorable to the colored people. ‘the problem of total suppres: sion of certain kinds of vices could not be effective in a city Ike Chicago, but there ig much ground for essential re- forms. What Chicago needs most is a reconstruction of its protective forces. ‘The police department and the detective forces should be more than doubly reinforced and colored police- men should be thickly installed on the South Side. In advocating protection, the lives of public men, who are valuable in the city and public serv- Ice of rendering good for the benefit of mankind, should be secure from danger. The life of the Mayor, the lives of prominent judges, district at- torneys, newspaper representatives, police and detectives, should all be safe-guarded by each other. The safe- ty of young girls and women, espectal- ly, by investigation of their good char- acter, the apprehension of young thieves, the suppression of boys under 38 who are allowed to gamble, the In- Yestigation of crank-criminals, conf dence and hold-up men, as people who would Kill, should be apprehended vig- orously as a commanded duty of a larger but more intelligent detective force that Is free from ignorant pigeon stool service. That will be a very Important duty imposed upon the new Mayor of this particular city, in fa- von'of better protection. “ Ed Hill, pianist at the Savoy, who has been ill with pneumonia for two ‘weeks, is out again, ae ‘Tom Carter passed through the city last Saturday enroute to join The Fol- les of 1910, special.

AT THE PRINCESS THEATER. Tom Dixon's Latest Play Visits the Two Races to Which It Belongs— Not as Good as The Nigger, but of Greater Human Feeling—Beneficial to the Negro. By Sylvester Russell. Are pastures where the white man's kin Were mongrels white as snow. ‘Tom Dixon, alas, the man who wrote the Clansman, has at last thrown the white race into confusion and the white people of the South into despair. ‘He has even done more than that; he has brought his mother into play to share his guilt of probable racial an- cestiy, the depth of which the bottom of her suggested story may lay true but natural claim, ‘Tom Dixon's plea for ostracism of the Negro is not the plea of a genuine white man, neither does his speeches indicate it. T have suspicion that black blood runs thiough his veins and that his mother knowing it, as a secret, had conspired to trouble the waters of the Northern Sea and make men know that they are people whose blood Is black and hid- den where people can't see it. It is, it must be, all a story of consanguint- ty smuggled up in the ice chest of a Southerner's hatred of the sins of ‘is own father. it Is a true family story of the south and one that works on human emotions because of the racial ties which bind the Negro relative, mistress and servant together in such a way that they will never be able to get fully apart, The dramatic critics of tho North, not knowing how to handle the race problem, as Dixon has further placed it upon the stage, have resorted to comments on the author's self-importent and illegitimate speech- es. Here are quotations of the Tom Dixon speeches: “Laws should be passed to prohibit marriage between white and black people, “Laws should be passed that white and black children be taught in sepa- rate schools, “Laws should be passed that Ne- groes should bo ostracised to a place by themselves. “{ have no harah feeling against the Negro.” ‘This clap-trap, which is a speech and not a part of the play, is not up for @isoussion at this juncture except to slap back at the modesty of Northern erities. Ashton Stevens says: “When (Dixon) says in his speech that the white shall not have marriage or In- trigue with the black I applaud a ro: bust platitude. Itagree with him that there should be laws to maintain the two races apart.” Then he says: “Mr. Dixon's principles as set forth in nis play and his speech are sane and Feasonable enough for any man of Southern parentage.” In these ex- pressions it can clearly be seen that Stevens disputes himself. ©. L. Hall gave a more sane view. Ho said in part: “Bvery person knows as well as Dix- on that intermarriages of whites and blacks is not exactly desirable.” ‘Then Mr. Hall says: “Most of the things he has to say in his play have been sald a thousand times more forcibly by Edward H, Sheldon in the “Nigger,” which had point purpose and dramatic power." I also agree that Mr. Shel don has written the best play. The speech of Dixon, which cannot be ap- plauded, detracted from the luster of his presence in the play. After the first act you see the man Dixon as he is and in the mirror of what he said and what the play expresses and not as a real actor. There has ever been a wide difference of opinion among the foremost white people of intelligence, regarding the Negto race and the problems which confront them, and it is now the privilege of the white peo- ple of superior intelligence to hear the four important questions answered by a member of the Negro race. ‘The marriages of white and black people are not desirable in this age and the Negro race as a whole does not seek it. Human nature and love is a de- fiance to law and ever will be. Love is the true gift of God. Its relation to nature 1s legitimate and perfect. It knows no creed, no color or nation- ality and any laws that should be passed to probibit marriages of any Kind mentioned would only tend to prostitute the white woman to the black man, as slavery prostituted the Nogress. Such laws would be contrary to the respectable course of human nature and the God-given rights of hu- man freedom, personal liberty and the status of a free country and both races would defy them, ‘There will be only one adjustment of racial marriages, that of an intelligent course of early home training, Tt will not be neces- sary to argue the school question at all herein. Tho suggestion that Ne- groes should be relegated to obscurt- ty Is a joke on our civilization. When Dixon says he has no harsh fecling against the Negro race he tells vil: Jainous falsehood and all his ingratt tude to his God, which led him to for- sake the ministry to become a play- wright and actor, and which has been revealed in the characters of his plays, Feveals the contents of his heart and shows the reason why ho chooses to assume the Divine Right to dictate to the God of humanity, the messages of Satan which caused ‘him to fall from tho sancitity of holiness down to the Joy riders in the valley of deception, which lead to final despair. Five years ago, when the Clansman was original: ly produced in New-York, I was pres ent at the first performance, ‘The Ne om Gt the Srat performance, The Ne Seer rie aac aarnad Patna te ie age are not damaging to him but helpful to bis cause. When the sins of the father was produced in the South, the editor of the Journal and Guide spoke ggthe performance as favorable to the Negro race, 1 had great faith in Edi- tor Young, so 1 commented on Dixon's change of heart in giving another kind of drama. But the people in Chicago had no faith in my contention. There was a slight protest. But now they see the play 1s unbiased and instruc- tive, The Play and Its Merits, The broad theme of the story runs something like the “Nigger,” having the time-worn politician in ‘evidence. This politician has an octoroon-colored mistress who had nursed his son to manhood, This ovtoroon, who had a daughter by the boy's father, sends for the child after she bad grown up. ‘The boy falls in love with the girl who is half sister of Negro blood and marrles her before his father is aware of their doing, The octoroon denies that the girl is her daughter at the closing of the play only to change the vad odor of the play and make every- body exclaim that she is a lar, as the audience passes out. Significent In this play, the word, “nigger” fs used seldom and the word Negro is much used, where it is only used once in Sheldon’s play. The play itself ts con- tradictory, feverish in spirit and lack- Ing in construction. It 1s bedewed with tears and embalmed with sighs; it has contrary moments which appeal to the depths of human passion, Near- est to the heart Is the son who loves his octoroon nurse as he would a mother and the love the boy's father once had for the nurse which turned to scorn is another source of pity and all through the play we have bits uf human anguish that only a fallen min- |ister of qualified literary instincts could: depict. Dixon's voice appeals only to the ministry and every tone falls as if from the pulpit. His play will beneft the Negro race because of the love and pity it incites for the ee People, and against the whiteM¥ace. ‘The servant in fear, or- dered around by the divine rights of Dixon's southern nature, {s all under- stood and does not detract but lends charm to two Negro characters, which Dixon actually succeeded in writing. And Dixon must be praised for balms which bring actual tears of joy ‘and sorrow to the eyes of many who look upon his repentant countenance as he slowly rises from the burden of sin the Clansman had placed upon his conscience. Jack W. Cowell, as Andy, the old Negro servant, was a master- plece and the best Negro dialect white actor I have seen in such a part, as a genuine creator of humor. Miss Ethel ‘Wright was likewise an excellent ac- tress. Leonard Ide, as the son, was handsome and dignified throughout. Lydia Knott, as the octoroon house- Keeper, was fair and Mrs, Charles C. Craig, ‘as Aunt Minerva, looked the part and acted well, but her dialect and the reading of her lines was not at all convineing. » There were but few colored people present and many empty seats were in evidence, and during the play a few people left the house. Vaudeville at the New Grand.

Philadelphia, April 4.—After a long ilness Jobn Trower, who was reputed to be the wealthiest caterer in the United States, died today at hie home in Germantown, a suburb. Mr. Trow- er, whose fortune {3 said to amount to $1,500,000, ;was prominent in church Work and founded a, Baptist seminary ‘in, Downington, Pa., near here. He was 61 years old. Mr. Charles H. ‘Smiley, our lamented leader in that Mine of business in Chicago, and Mr. Trower were lifelong friends, and their deaths at the same age within such a short time of each other is a peculiar coincidence. When ques: tioned about the matter Mr. Smiley, son of J. Hocktey Smiley, sald that “they were both among the ploneers in the work in Philadelphia and among the earlest members of the Philadel- phia Caterers’ Association,” GEORGE GORDON KILLS RAN WIN- CHESTER.

Larger Circulation than all the other weeklies combined. Carter H. Harrison wins! And the "Defender" most naturally is duty bound to congratulate the winner. Milton J. Foreman is with through "niggers." He will retire to Hyde Park, the home of the Protective League. President Taft was told by the citizens of Texas if he was the Ninth Cavalry into that state what they would do, and the President hesitated. Charles E. Merriam, the Republican candidate made a good fight and a splendid minority surplus to add to his splendid record and the possibilities of his future chances if they should again present themselves. Our readers, subscribers and advertisers will please have a little patience and all difficulties and drawbacks will be adjusted just as soon as our new press gets down to working order. That means right away. The strongest thing about colored men in business is that they hesitate too long on a good business proposition. Judging from the development of the Defender it would be a fine idea for certain business men to wake up and try their luck by advertising in a newspaper that really reaches the crowd. The great fault with the Negro race is that too many men who possess only a very limited amount of ability think they know everything and want to instruct everybody and are full of envy and try to pull down any man who really does know things and who has proved it. The way for men to do is to first show what they know by really preening it. The segregation movement at Norfolk, Va. must be the signal for a finished challenge of the Negroes of that city for their commercial and personal rights as citizens. The Virginia Supreme Court isn't going to do anything. The Journal and Guide need not go to the trouble to tell Negroes do not want to be vade. It's a free country and there are too many Negroes in Norfolk to show the white feather. Here is a letter sent to one of our daily newspapers from a white person: "Is it art? " "The beautiful girl who refuses to pose before the class of art students is lowers as a colored man is in the class lowers. The standard of her work. If she regards her work as an art her discrimination is rather far fetched, but if it is a display of her physical ability then well may she choose the class of men before whom she makes such an exhibition." C.R. R. Chicago. This should be sufficient to make certain grades of white people understand that notoriety on the race question in any form is of great help to a race which has always had the sympathy of the majority and best white people of the nation. A baseball team, boys of the Roosevelt Grammar School, Ponce, P. R., may come to the United States to try conclusions with teams of its age, if sufficient encouragement is given. Last season its record was 54 games won, 10 lost. Porto Rico is Americanizing very fast. It is reported that farmers are not buying as many automobiles as formerly. Probably most of them are supplied by this time. A psychologist says dreams are merely photographs of events. Motion pictures he means, perhaps. Many a man who is very proud of his wife kicks like a steer at having to cry for her clothes. How to get the thrills of aviation without killing the thrillers is a large problem at present. "Beware of girls who flirt," says one preacher. Also of girls who don't, we might add. is reported that girls are to be ht how to shop.

As a display of low comedy talent of acrobatic ability and high capacity, the review of Tokio fire bridges at Hibiya park may have had a certain degree of interest, but as a demonstration of practical efficiency in dealing with what the Japanese translator loves to designate "conflagrations" it was unutterably farcical. After witnessing such a lamentable display of ineptitude 'one could only marvel that the capital has hitherto the second most structural the ravages to which Onike was subject, last year were restricted to some 20,000 houses. It is true that the metropolitan fire companies represent a great advance upon what they were during the pre-Meijl days, when the greatest solitude of the members of the "hikeshgumi" was devoted not to the task of extinguishing the flames but rather to that of preserving from incineration the little elfry of a god or patron saint of every company unfailingly carried with it on these expeditiones for good luck. Old residents bear witness to the voctiferous energy and enthusiasm with which the firemen fulfilled this self-appointed task, while the fire in its turn merrily discharged its mission of gutting everything infamable within an accessible area. If, however, in the end the firemen escaped in withdrawing with their little wooden god still intact they were in danger, the firemen were satisfied that society at large could have no ground for demanding anything more than this. Cool and capable in war, the Japanese, despite centuries of familiarity, appear to lose their heads when fire starts. Confusion reigns supreme. Connected with each fire station are large numbers of what may be termed auxiliaries, who have really nothing to do with the actual task of extinguishing the flames, but whose duties are appearing on the scene at the earlies with lanterns and in thereafter helping to remove goods and chattels from the buildings within the danger zone—New York Herald. Bear Romance Is Ended. Old Ben, the big black bear who has lived at the Bronx zoo almost ever since the zoo started, is dead. Old Ben was about twenty-two years old and Dr. W. Reed Blair believes that old age had a great deal to do with his death. But the attendants, a fond of the good matured old fellow, insisted that it was the ttering of a bear romance that killed Ben. Ben was for many years a favorite with Clefty, a brown female bear who shared his den. Recently Clefty, who is much younger than Ben, began to show that she was bored by his attention, and she was shifted to an adjoining room where the quarters live a young and handsome Abyssinian bear, and it wasn't long before Clefty was rubbing noses with him. Ben, watching this courtship from his enforced bachelor quarters, began to refuse food and medicines couldn't be eaten. But when he died Clefty didn't stop rubbing noses with the Abysinian for even a moment's warning.—New York Sun. Gone Is Age of Sentiment. Among the out of date warships to be sold at Toulon by the order of the French government are the armorclads Magenta and Admiral Baudin, the cruisers Milan and Pascal and three submarines, Lutin, Gymnote and Gustave Zede. The Lutin was the little submarine which sank off Blicata roadstead in 1888 and two officers and ten men. She was raised and brought to Toulon, but left in the arsenal unrepaired. The Gustave Zede and the Gymnote are the two earliest submarines of the French fleet, dating from 1888 to 1890. Both were in active service for over twenty years. It seems a pity that they should be broken up for old iron instead of being preserved as historic relics, part of the collection of ships to navigate under water and the first to topped an armorclad—1901, in the roadstead of Alaceto. The Young Man's Tact The man who was having his picture taken in the photograph gallery was an innocent listener to this conversation between two young ladies on the other side of the screen: "You know, Kate, I sometimes wear a bracelet hanging down the back of my neck?" "Yes." "Well, when Phil was calling on me the other evening he asked me if he might have that curl, and I jokingly said yes. Before I knew what he was about he had taken a little pair of scissors out of his pocket and clipped it off, close to my head." "Oh, the idea! Didn't that make you funny?" "Not for the smallest fraction of a second. I thought it was splendid of him that he didn't seize it and pull it off."-Youth's Companion. --- Lander Across South America The English explorer and author, Henry Savage Landor, has completed arrangements for his expedition which will cross South America from the Atlantic to the Pacific along the elevation paralleling the Landor has undertaken work full of importance that accomplished by him, and in Africa, for a greater portion of the country lying between Araguaia river and the Madeira in Brazil is uncharted.

Strength, Wisdom and Experience All Combine to Make It More Interesting That Youth, With Its Selfishness. To be middle-aged is to be deprised. All young creatures wonder what we have to live for. Poets and novelists are agreed in contending or ignoring us. Youth is wonderful and beautiful, and old age has its mild wisdom; but middle age is a desert that no one cares to explore. French novelists will take an interest in women up to 40 if they are sufficiently careful of their appearance and sufficiently careless in their morals. After that, your! you! And I do not see that novelists greatly differ in this particular. Mrs. Oliphant alone has attempted to create an image in women of middle age, but only to miserate her innumerable cares and anxieties or to depict her sentimental jealousy of the blossoming time of a young girl. Youth, with all its reputation for joy and interest, is really usually full of sorrow and boredom. When we are young we expect so much of life, we are absolutely wrapped up in our experiences, so completely selfish in our ideas, appointments and disenchants we always correspondingly bitter and deep. You expect everything—you get perhaps a little, perhaps nothing, of what you expected. The world does not hasten to bring joy and interest and love to your feet, and you He down to weep and despair, and cry that the times are out of joint. Youth very proud members that it has to do the giving it, the giving it thing and giving nothing, and it is therefore constantly unhappy. Middle-aged people are, or should be, still strong and full of life; and all the energy that used to go into dancing and chasing balls begins to be used for something outside themselves; it may be for an idea, it may be for persons, or for the community that have an immense fund of energy. They themselves, it may it do mischief, makes them tireless and invaluable workers. What a man will do conscientiously, for duty's sake, a woman will do for the sheer pleasure of it. Middle age, in short, has found out that the blue bird was at home all the while; that the effort to be of use to others in every day life is what brings happiness. The effort to reach hapness through being amused, excited, and powerful, through success, is essential to effort of youth. When people have leisure, a back seat, to love other people, and to work for them, they are happy—and middle aged! Indians In Malega Legislature There are two Indian representatives in the Maine legislature, who represent the Indians of that state. They are assigned seats in the recess of the chamber, but have no vote in the proceedings. They are selected by their tribesmen because of their prominence, and the tribe's the legislature is to give the Indians' the various matters pertaining to their units' welfare are under discussion. These Indians have had recognized representatives for years, who are treated with courtesy and consideration by the other members, and in all matters affecting the Indians do much good. The two representatives in office at present are Lola Coly, and the Indian island in Oldtown and represented the Penobscot tribe, and Lewy Mitchell who represents the Passamquoddy tribe—From the Red Man. Why He Kissed Her Daniel J. Shern, who practices law when he isn't guiding the house of representatives, was reminded of a case he read the verdict in the breach of promise against young Walling in New York. "I was counsel for the girl in a case one," said the lawyer, "and I thought we had a good case. One of the strongest points was the ardent wooing of the defendant. We stipulated on the distress he had planted upon the fairness of ruby lips. Imagine our surprise when the defendant admitted it. "That's true," said he, testifying. "I had to do it," he explained. "Had to do it?" roared, hoping to embark on "Yes," he answered, "I either had to keep Missing her constantly or permit her to sing, and—well, I preferred the Missing."—Philadelphia Times. Evanglist Enthusiastic Gypsy Smith, the famous revivalist, is now in Paris, planning the evangelization of the gay capital. He thinks it is ready for repentance and is willing to lead the penitents. Speaking to a correspondent of the Chicago News he said: "Paris is hungry for an evangelist, and I had hereforetold. I believe that the churches could unite to build a great hall in Paris, seating from 1,000 to 2,000 persons, put a scholarly evangelist speaking French and English at the head, and hold purely evangelistic meetings, not only Sundays, but on the evenings of week-days. I am sure I will speak French as a speak French could sweep Paris with simple words of Jesus, which all are eager to hear." Wolves Trap Dakota Tranne H. Mantzer, house ruler Trapper, had a narrow house and of wolves. There were about 20 in the pack and when he began shooting at them his team ran away, leaving him with only a few cartridges in his rifle. With these he killed seven of the wolves, but was compelled to climb to the top of a hay loading machine which fortunately happened to be near at hand, says the Kramer correspondent of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. He was kept there three hours before the howls of the wolves and the cries of the trapped trapper brought assistance. FOUND IN THE PICTURES "You don't want to stay for the pictures, do you?" asked Laura in the tone of one who expects the answer to be "No." Bet blushed. She took a childish delight in motion pictures, but from the chatter about her, she gathered; that if was considered, childish to sit through the whole performance. Her cousin Laura seemed to regard the taste for villile itself rather indicative of elemental desire. "Do you mind?" Both asked timidly. "There's fire department pictures." With a shrug of her shoulder, her cousin settled back in the seat as the lights went out and the first picture was thrown on the screen. The property man and his fellows on the stage supplied the clanging of the bells and the screech of the whistles and to Beth it was all very real. Then the screen was engulfed vanished from the screen to be replaced by a contrasting picture of three firemen sitting in quarters engaged in a game of cards. Their faces were large enough to show the play of expression and the audience shrieked at the pantomimic humor. But Beth had leaned forward and was looking eagerly at the screen. Lara was not realizing it. There upon the screen was Thad Burnham. She was sure of it. The picture changed again and she sank back into her seat quivering in every muscle. Rapidly she explained to Laura how Thad had gone away from home, how his letters had stopped and he could find no trace of him. "His mom was still waiting for him," she declared. "I must find him and tell him to write home." She left her seat and with trembling limbs started up the aisle, Laura following her country cousin curiously. An usher directed her to the balcony where the machine was operated, and she waited until the operator had finished. She could give her little information other than to furnish her with the address of the firm which had taken the pictures. She could scarcely wait until the next morning to continue her search, and she started immediately after breakfast with a male cousin as an escort. The manager was courteous and seemed to take an interest in her quest. The pictures had been made in town, he explained, and he gave her the number and address of the engine company. It was far uptown but she could not rest and in a short time she stood front of the tiny desk beside the glittered desk. "Is Mr. Burnham a fireman here?" she asked with trembling voice. "Tommy Burnham is with seven truck," he explained. "Wickes, Roe and Casey posed for that picture," he declared. "You mean this?" He took down from the wall a small framed photograph, evidently an enlargement of the picture film. "That's Thad," she cried. "I'm sure of it." "Call Roe down," commanded a voice behind her. The man sprang to salute and Both turned to see a kindly face man with gold instead of silver buttons and crossed trumpets on his cap front. "Stand where you will be in the light," directed the newcomer, as he stepped into the background. Wonderingly she obeyed his directions as in answer to the call a man came sliding down the brass pole. Before she could speak he had turned around and came toward her. "Hello, Both," he cried. "Where did you from?" "What is your name?" demanded the battalion chief. Instinctively the man's hand went to salute, and he gave a puzzled laugh. "It's Burnham," he said, "get I know I'm called Roe. What's the matter?" "You remember the Jane street fire in the shop where you worked?" suggested the chief. Tad nodded. "But you forget that in jumping to the net you fell short and struck on your head. When you came out of the hospital, you had forgotten whom you were." "I remember now," Thad exclaimed. "The boys were interested in me and kept me going until I could get in the department. You gave me Richard Roe for a name, eh?" "I saw you in the picture at the theater, Beth explained. "I knew it was you." "Which is more than I did," he laughed. "I've been some one else for nearly a year now. Is mother—Beth nodded as his voice faltered. "She is silive," she assured, "but very lonesome. She thinks your are dead." The chief goes forward. "I'm going to see the office," he said huskily. "Put in your application for leave and I'll see that headquarters grants it." He stumped up the stairs, and Thad turned to Bath. "And you?" he asked. "Have you been on hand waiting, too," she assured as her hand stole into his. "We can have a pretty good honeymoon in 30 days," smiled Thad. "We'll send the picture men some of the we must." she agreed, as he kissed her right before the man on watch. "I found you in the picture." Money and Man. When a man can make money just a little bit faster than he can manage to let go of it, and can hold onto the surplus so that another can never separate him from it even with a steel crowbar, then he is it—any old way you try to solve the problem of money and man. Joke. "What are you laughing at, Joachim? "I've just been thinking what a joke it would be on been on Dellah if Sam were to form a wig." -Chicago Herald. PERSONALS. Mr. R.

Why do colored people pay such high rent for flats, houses, etc.? Is it their fault, or is it the landlord's? In my opinion it is theirs. They will undermine each other to get a house or flat. Several instances have been called to my attention where one person secured a, flat and another would offer the landlord or agent more just to get it. How, long will this last? Will Negroes never, learn to think? Will they pay ten per cent more rent than white people. Why? Just because they do not, work in behalf of each other. The other man always gets the swagger. In apartment houses that have formerly rented to whites and then coerced people the rent increases from $18 to $23 and to $30 for $40. Yet they do not how much it is increased, colored people will serrable over each other to get in flats; and if they are afraid they will not get it they will even offer the landlord more than he charges, for fear some one else will get it a little more reasonable. isn't this an outrage? For instance, a lady to my personal knowledge secured a fourroom flat in the 35th street block on Wabash and paid a deposit, same to rent for $22. A colored man, a member of her own race, comes along and offers the landlord $25 for same flat. Of course he took the latter. The landlord was not a member of the Negro race. is there no remedy for this weakness of our people? Yours, W. B. J. Will you kindly state the technical point on this subject through your paper?

Miss Roberta Ruth Bailey, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bailey, 814 Church street, died Tuesday morning, April 4, 1911. Miss Bailey was ill two weeks. Rheumatism of the heart was the cause of her death. This bright and sweet young lady was only 19 years one month of age, was born and educated in Evanston. At the time she was taken ill she was attending school of music at Washington, D.C., where she was making rapid progress as a violinist. She had a bright future before her and her death is a severe shock to the family and friends. She is survived by her father, mother and four sisters, Ars. Nettle Bryson, Mrs. Emma Gates, of Hastings, Neb., Mrs. Helen Copeland, of Omaha, Neb., and Miss Margaret B. Bailey, at home. Funeral was held Thursday morning at 9:30, from St. Mary's Church. --- Y. M. G. A. Meeting. A very stirring meeting was held last Monday evening, at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, in behalf of a Y. M. C. A. for colored youth. Mr. J. E. Moreland, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Mr. F. H. Scott, president of the Evanston Y. M. C. A. (white), Mr. A. B. Dale, secretary of the Evanston Y. M. C. A. and Mr. W. S. Powers were the speakers of the evening. Dr. W. F. Garnett voiced the sentiment of the people of Evanston. Mr. Moreland spoke at length about the Southern Negroes and their Y. M. C. A. He pictured them as a progressive people, ever awake to advancement. He urged the Evanston Negroes to bestir themselves and build a Y. M. C. A. for the colored youths of Evanston, which will mean advancement more and simple. Mt. Zion Baptist Church The box social given by Team No. 4 at Mt. Zion last Thursday was a decided success. The boxes sold from 50 cents to as high as $5. A neat sum of $27.25 was realized. In spite of the inclementity of the weather Sunday, April 2nd, the services at Mt. Zion were well attended. One candidate was baptized. One accession to the church by Christian experience. Bro. J. R. Talley preached an interesting sermon at 8 p.m., which was followed by the administration of the Lord's Supper. Mrs. Mattie Fulford, of North Chicago, visited friends and attended services at Mt. Zion Sunday. Team No. 1, of which Mrs. Grace Young is captain, will give a box social Friday, April 14. A grand success is anticipated. Mr. James Allen, Mr. and Mrs. William Jackson, Mrs. Nicey Cook and Mrs. Edith Miller accompanied Mrs. Allen as far as Chicago last Sunday morning, Mrs. Allen leaving for her home in Virginia.

Seven preachers will deliver short talks on the seven last words of Jesus. Revs. B. P. E. Gayles, of Second Baptist Church; E. H. Fletcher, of Mt. Zion Church; L. S. Birt, of St John; R. L. Allen, of Glencoe; H. E. Johnson, of Waukegan; T. Reeves. D. D, of Chicago, and J. N. Goddard, of North Western University. The Rev. John M. Henderson, D. D, of New York, will preach at Ebenezer next Thursday night. It will be communion. The Rev. H. E. Stewart, of Wayman Chapel, will conduct the services. Mrs. H. J. Harris, 2106 Jackson avenue, has been quite ill for the past ten days. At the early stage of her illness she was in a serious condition, and we are glad to note she is improving rapidly. Mr. Earl Burris Dickerson, of Chicago, visited friends and attended the Mass meeting at Ebenezer Monday evening. Mrs. W. T. Mason, 1617 Benson avenue, suffered a relapse last week. She is some better at this writing. Mr. R. G. Bruce, Evanston, editor for the "Chicago Defender," leaves Monday morning for Racine, Wils., and intermediate points, in interest of the paper. Mr. Bruce will be out of town Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Miss F. A. White will have full charge of the Evanston office during his absence. Mrs. C. Sutton, 1735 Ridge avenue, returned last Thursday afternoon from Chapel Hill. Tenn., where she went some weeks ago, being called there on account of sickness and death. Mrs. Fannie Richardson Griffin, 1812 Darrow avenue, is quite ill with rheumatism. We wish her a speedy recovery. Mrs. T. F. Richardson, 2021 Colfax street, entertained the "Wednesday afternoon Whist Club" at her beautiful home Wednesday. Mrs. Frank Davenport was able to attend the speaking at Ebenezer last Monday evening. We are glad to see Mrs. Davenport improving so rapidly and hope to see her in her pew at church soon. Mrs. H. F. Crommer, 1413 Florence avenue, delightfully entertained the "Dorcas Guild" at her pleasant home Thursday afternoon. Mr. Geo. Pressley, 906 Emerson street, who has been ill the past three weeks, is much improved at this writing. Mr. Fred Hogue, youngest son of Mrs. William Miller, returned to evanston a few days ago. He has been located at Mound City, Ill. You really do not know what you missed, if you did not attend the fair at Ebenezer the past week. From Monday night until Friday night the lecture room was a scene of "busy, merry people." The booths were neatly and artistically arranged. Each chairman looked her best and wore her sweetest smile. Some beautiful hand work was on display. Each booth was well patronized, and when the report shall have been given we will say our efforts were not in vain. A more extensive write-up will be given next week. Mr. J. E. Moreland, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A., has been in Evanston for several days. Mr. Moreland is stopping with Mrs. J. E. Webb, 1462 Elmwood avenue. Evanston Speaks. All Evanstonians have been watching, though quietly, the storm that passed over the Art Institute twelve days ago. And we have found the old song of the poet to be true: "Behind every dark cloud there is a silver lining." I have been asked to voice the sentiment of the people in Evanston and to express to Mr. J. T. Down through our columns their sympathy and their regard for him. We realize that the whole trouble was brought about by a "copper" head, who envies the success that the Negro is able to and has already made. We understand that R. M. Compton is one of the many who hates the Negro because he has a black skin. But if I had to choose between being a Compton and a Negro, I had rather be a Negro a thousand times than to be a Compton once, because I had rather have a black skin and a broad mind, than to have a white skin and a poor, weak, narrow mind. And we want to express to Superintendent Holmes and his co-workers and the other white friends who stood by Mr. Down, our hearty thanks. And we feel certain that if we had more broadminded men like Superintendent Holmes and those who stood with him that the whites would soon realize the full value of the Negro and allow him a man's chance. And to Mr. Down we could say no more than, "you acted the part of a gentleman." We feel he did the right thing at the right time and we wish all Negroes will take heed, and, In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of life, be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife! Children's Corner. The T. F. Club entertained at an April Fool Party Saturday evening, at the residence of Lulu McGear, 1810 East Railroad avenue. There were fourteen present. A first class April Fool luncheon was served and a jolly good time is reported. The class of boys No. 5 of Ebenezer Sunday School, with their teacher, Miss Florence A. Whyte, spent Saturday afternoon in Chicago, visiting several points of interest. This is one of the best behaving classes in the school. CHILDREN OF THE STREET. Chicago, like other typically cosmopolitan cities in America, has a child problem. The city is organized into 14 districts, with paid offices to protect the children from sources of danger, many of which are unknown to Washington life, says the Washington Post. A curfew law in Chicago would be wholly ineffective. Thousands of families in the congested quarter pour out into the streets in numbers all night, for those who retire early are replaced by others coming out at 2 o'clock in the morning for the crusts which restaurants and lunch carts distribute at that hour. Obviously, a regulation imposing a penalty of fine and imprisonment for being out late could have no good results. The solution of the problem is not to be found in the police court. Quite the contrary. Through the efforts of the association no children under 17 years are allowed to enter the criminal courts. It readily occurs to the mind that this humane way of dealing with children is preferable to harsh legal remedies that would bring the victims into enforced touch with the things most to be avoided. The policy of the Chicago reform workers is to get at the child before it goes down, raise the standard of the home, and do preventive work. This calls for intimate relations with homes and families, and gratifying results follow, where better things are offered to the children of the street, who are deprived of much that naturally belongs to children. "The world owes no man a living, but every man owes the world an honest effort to get one." It is hard to drum this into the creditors instead of the debtors of society, but it would do them, as well as their neighbors, a vast amount of good if they would allow it to soak in. Nothing contributes quite so much to collective prosperity as individual industry, says the Omaha Bee. What every fellow feels the same need for persistent personal effort on his part as he feels for his friend, community of interest becomes something more than mere phraseology. This is an end toward which society has to work to realize its best ideals. It would help vitally if all of our philanthropists and reformers would make the most of this principle. Indeed, they do a poor work whenever they fall to. No beneficence is worth while that does not recognize the necessity of helping others to help themselves. It is not simply charity that is so much needed. Eleemosynary institutions that accomplish most proceed on this self-help theory. Persia is no exception to the rule that progress toward a more liberal political regime is attended by bitter reactionary opposition. Sometimes this hostility does not stop with passive resistance but takes the form of murderous action. Several years ago a Premier was assassinated; more recently attempts have been made on the lives of other prominent officials, and the other day Sanfed Dowleh, the minister of finance, was shot dead in the street in Teheran by assassins who also killed two policemen and fled. The slain minister had been active in recent reformatory efforts, and there can be little doubt that he fell a victim to those opposed to modern methods in Persia. --- The news from China indicates that undoubtedly the pigtail must go. Progressives poke fun at the wearing of the queues, and thousands are discarding them. Conservative official sentiment is against the reform, and some attempts have been made to punish those who cut off the "tails." But the reform has taken strong hold of the people and of the queues, with the result that the latter are coming off in every direction. The cartoonists have joined in the anti-pigtail crusade, and when a custom becomes an object of ridicule it is doomed, even in slow-going China. A Harvard professor of zoology has succeeded in producing a three-toed guinea pig. So far as we are able to determine, however, this was not a long-felt want. Certain Nebraska women have decided that baldheaded men are trusting and confiding. That is amply proved by the numerous hair tonics they buy. Although his weekly salary was only $25, a New York school teacher has become bankrupt to the extent of $130,000. He is almost a genius. When New York has explosions it has real ones. It does not bother with the petty variety in vogue in Chicago. A Nebraska legislator has introduced a bill regulating the length of hatpins. Nebraska, too, has its heroes. A Pittsburg man sought to cure insomnia by drinking carbolic acid. He succeeded. A six-cylinder optimist is one who pretends to like all his wife's relatives. HOW ARE YOU MR.

THE ABOVE CARTOON WAS REPRODUCED FROM A CIRCULAR FOUND ON THE STREET DURING THE PAST WEEK, WHICH WAS USED BY THE OPPOSERS OF EX-ALDERMAN MILTON J. FOREMAN IN THE 3RD WARD, WHICH CAUSED HIS DEFEAT. For more than two thousand years carrier pigeons have been used to carry messages when no other means sufficed, and during the siege of Paris, when 363 birds were sent out from the doomed city, one of the birds performed the almost incredible feat of carrying to the outside world, on one trip, no less than forty thousand messages, averaging twenty words each. This was eight hundred thousand words, or the equivalent of five or six average novels. This marvel was accomplished by means of microscopic photography, the messages being first printed with ordinary type and then photographed and photographed, until they had been reduced several hundred diameters. The final photographs were taken on films or pellicles of collodion, each of which, about two inches square, contained fifty thousand words. A dozen of these films, rolled up in a quill, weighed one-twenty-eighth of an ounce. The messages could, of course, be read with a microscope, without the necessity of rephotographing and enlarging. Under favorable conditions, and for comparatively short distances, pigeons have carried as much as three-quarters of an ounce. Using the photo-reduction method, it would therefore be possible for a single bird to carry messages equal in words to no fewer than one hundred and twenty ordinary volumes.—Harper's Weekly. Deaf and Dumb Printers Manual training is an important part of the education imparted at the Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb at Mount Alry. One notable feature is a well equipped printing office, where boys who show a preference for this trade become proficient in it. This office prints the stationery of the institution and also issues a weekly magazine. An official of the institution says that printing is a desirable occupation for the deaf and dumb. It is an old adage of the craft that "A silent tongue maketh a full stick." Some employing printers show a preference for deaf and dumb compositors, and thus the great majority of the graduates of the Mount Alry printing office obtain lucrative positions. Even some of those who after leaving Mount Alry take a college course subsequently go back to printing.-Philadelphia Record. Misapplied Diminutive The late Bishop William N. McVickar of Rhode Island, barbored a large soul in a body to match. He was a bachelor, whose sister kept houses for him. On one occasion he telephoned to his tailor that he wished to have a pair of trousers pressed, and the tailor or sent a boy to his residence to get them. The bishop's sister admitted the messenger and called upstairs, "Willie, the boy has come for your trousers!" When the brother appeared the youth's astonished gaze traversed the prelate's impressive "corporosity"; then he murrured: "Gee! Is that Willie?"—Youth's Companion. The eight-year-old son of a Baltimore physician was playing in his father's office with a friend during the absence of the doctor, when suddenly the first lad threw open a closet door and disclosed to the terrified gaze of his little friend an articulated skeleton. When the visitor had sufficiently recovered from his shock to stand the announcement, the doctor's son explained that his father was extremely proud of that skeleton. "Is he?" asked the other. "Why?" "I don't know," was the answer; "maybe it was his first patient"—Harper's Magazine. Beverage Was in Common Use in Germany in the Time of Tacitus. Beer is a liquor made from any farinaculous grain, but generally from barley, which is malted and ground, and its fermentable substance extracted by hot water. This extract or infusion is evaporated by boiling in caldrons and hops or some other plant of agreeable bitterness added. The liquor is then suffered to ferment in vats. Ale is a liquor made from an infusion of malt by fermentation. It chiefly differs from beer in having a smaller proportion of hops; both are intoxicating liquors. The manufacture of beer and its use as an intoxicating drink are of very high antiquity. Herodotus tells us that owing to the want of wine the Egyptians drank a liquor fermented from barley. Ale or beer was in common use in Germany in the time of Tacitus. "All the nations," says Pliny, "who inhabit the west of Europe have a liquor with which they intoxicate themselves, of corn and water." The manufacture of ale was early introduced into England. It is mentioned in the laws of Ina, king of Wessex, and is particularly specified among the liquors provided for a royal banquet in the reign of Edward the Confessor. GALLANT WORK OF FAMILY Man, Wife and Son Participate in Rescue of Girl From Drowning in Ice Waters. An extraordinary instance of a family's gallamary comes from Oxford. It appears that a domestic servant of Iley, while cycling by the side of the river with a young man at ten o'clock the other evening, fell off her machine into the water at a spot where the water was 12 feet deep and there was a swift current. The young man caused the Iley lockkeeper (Mr. Mellon), who immediately jumped into the river in the darkness. His wife followed with her seventeen-year-old son carrying a lantern. She directed operations by the lantern light and told her son to jump in to save his father, who seemed unable to effect the rescue single handed in the swiftly running stream. Young Mellon obeyed immediately, and father and son, swimming in the icy cold water, effected the girl's rescue by the light of the lantern carried by Mrs. Mellon.—Reynolds's Newspaper. Origin of Royal Literary Fund Origin of Royal Literary Fund. The Royal Literary Fund owed its inception to one of those tragedies of poverty which have been only too common in the history of literature. In 1788 Floyer Sydenham, an eminent Greek scholar of Wadham college, Oxford, was arrested for some trifling debt due for his frugal meals and thrown into prison, where he died in want and misery when nearly eighty years of age. His sad story becoming known created widespread sympathy, the practical outcome of which was the establishment of a fund to assist needy literary men. Its chief promoter was David Williams, a Welsh Nonconformist minister, and friend of Benjamin Franklin—Pall Mall Gazette. A Good Deodorizer. An orange peel placed on a hot stove makes a fine deodorizer. If the stove is hot enough it will burn like celluloid. However, if the stove is not hot enough, just touch a match to the peeling (after it has been heated through).

Back three centuries Shakespeare carried about in his head five times as many words as the dictionary then contained; today it has a hundred words for every one which a good writer will use. The greatest gains in the number of words recorded within the last 50 years have, of course, come from a minute raking over of all accessible English documents and from special branches of human labor, particularly the sciences, in which changing conditions have made necessary hosts of new terms. Water as God Intended It Robert Browning shared Thackeray's appreciation of good wine. His liking for port, never immoderately indulged, would seem to have been inherited, for he used to tell a story of his father's indignation on one occasion when he asked for a glass of water. "Water, Robert!" exclaimed the elder Browning, in dismay. "For washing purposes it is, I believe, often employed, and for navigable canals I admit it to be indispensable, but for drinking, Robert, God never intended it."—London Chronicle.

Daily Thought. The noisy waves are failures, but the great silent tide is success. . . Do you know what is to be falling every day and ye eure that your life, as a whole, great movement and meaning, falling but suc- ceeding?-Ph' looks Under the Deacon's Umbrella By META LEWIS Some folks called Farmer Hooper "Uncle," and some "Deacon," and he answered to either title with the same readiness, when he answered at all. Long enough before his wife died and his sister Jane came to keep house for him, he had the reputation of being a crank. He did not think as other folks around him, and whenever he thought his rights had been interfered with, he was prompt to appeal to the law. Before the death of the Deacon's wife, wire fence men, agents for parlor organs and sewing machine men did come around now and then, but after the calamity he became so "techy" about such things that even his oldest neighbors avoided him. "I don't no crank," the Deacon would explain when he heard the charge made against him. "I'm simply a determined man. I refuse to be elbowed around and walked on. If I was to let people do as they please, I'd be only a grease spot on earth in six months. One day the Deacon picked up a couple of items of news that added to his general aggravation. He was told that the farm next to his on the west had been sold, and this without his being consulted. He had come to believe that nothing of consequence must take place for five miles around without his having a finger in the pie. The farm had been sold to a widow from Ohio, and she hadn't called on him previously to ask his advice about buying. It was added by the village gossip of the news that she looked like a woman that wouldn't allow her neighbors' cows in her cornfield, and who would have every inch of the land named in her deed. "Wall," replied the Deacon as he straightened up from hoeing potatoes, "if any woman has come here from Ohio to raise a fuss with me, she can go right ahead just as fast as she A man and a woman sit on a sandy beach, each holding a shovel. They are surrounded by a field of tall grasses and a few trees in the background. A house with a chimney is visible in the distance. "Not a Word Passed Between the Two." pleases. I'm a determined man, I am. I don't allow man or woman to walk over me. If the Wyder Skinner begins to prance around, I'll see to her case." The widow had already been warned what sort of a man Deacon Hoopier was, and that she could prepare for trouble, and so there was an inimical feeling even before they had seen each other. She made the first aggressive move. She had the house repainted. The Deacon had sold his wheat at a low price and had lost 20 sheep by foot-rot, and he felt that he couldn't afford to paint his own house, though it was badly needed. He therefore observed that a couple of years would see the new arrival in the poorhouse, and added that the law ought to appoint a guardian. His remarks were carried to the widow, and she sent back word that he was an old idiot. From thence on things began to happen. The Deacon had a cow that could sall over a six-rall fence like a grasshopper over a bunch of catnip. To prevent her from sailing she wore a poke. One night after the milking, the cow was surprised to find the poke absent. She felt that she owed thanks to the Deacon or some one else, but she couldn't find words to express them. Next morning she came home with a horn knocked off. She had spent at least a part of the night in the widow's cornfield. Deacon Hooper set his jaw and said nothing until after breakfast. Then his sister Jane asked him if he was the sort of man to stand that, and he replied: "Iain't going to quite kill anybody, but I am going over to the wizard's and have an understanding. You may be called in court for a witness. Take notice that I'm not a bit exited, and I'm not taking along the ax or the butcher knife." The determined gait of the Deacon soon carried him to the widow's house. She was washing the dishes, and she came to the kitchen door with a plate in one hand and a wiping cloth in the other to bid him good morning and to ask the object of his call. It was seldom that he looked anything or anybody squarely in the face. He didn't have a square look at the widow. He simply saw that she was rather undersized and had her chin in the air, and let it go at that. "One of my cows come home this morning with a horn knocked off," he said to open the conversation. "Yes!" replied the woman as she wiped at the dish. "Well, I knocked it off myself soon after daylight. I found her in the corn." "By thunder, woman, but do you know that there are laws in the land!" "I do, and you can have all you want of them. I shall keep my cows at home, and you must do the same. I could have knocked the other horn off, but I thought I'd wait till next time." "I am a determined man," said the Deacon as he fell back a step. "And I am a determined woman." "I don't allow nobody to walk over me." "Ditto. This is my busy day, and if you haven't anything further to say you can go." The Deacon departed. He had come to bluff and buldoze, but he was made to realize that she was ready for him. She was the first person who had bested him for years, and as he walked slowly home he planned how to bring her head low. There had been a long-standing dispute as to the boundary fence. The widow had bought without knowing this. The Deacon had been pretty sure for years past that a new survey would give him two feet more land, but as it would cost a few dollars for a survey he had let the matter rest. He now made up his mind to have that extra two feet if it cost him his whole potato crop. "Well, what are you going to do about it?" asked his sister when he had told her of the interview. "Jane, am I a determined man or a sheep?" he queried in reply. "Why, a determined man, of course." "Then you needn't ask what I am going to do about it. I shall humble that woman in the dust." "I hope you will. She's no lady. One no one ever hears of a lady racing around a corn field at daylight to knock a cow's horn off. A true lady can't even hit a barn with a stone." Between a desire to humble and the cost of doing so, the deacon waited a couple of weeks before making any move. Then he got a surveyor and made himself as conspicuous as possible as he walked around with the man. The results of the survey were disappointing. The boundary fence was not on the true line, but it favored the widow by only about three inches. The labor of moving it would fall upon him, and the gain would not be worth it. At the roadside end, however, the Deacon decided to put in a double gate. This was to assert his ownership. He got pick and spade and went to work, and in two hours he had dug deep enough in the hard soil to plant his first post. As the hour was late, he decided to wait till morning. He was there at eight o'clock, but somebody was ahead of him. The widow sat there dangling her feet in the hole, and she gave him a smile as he came up. "Mobbe you'll tell me what this means?" he asked. "You can't plant no posts on my land," she replied. "It's my land." "That's where we differ." "And what do you intend to do?" "Sit here all summer." "By John, woman," said the Deacon, "I am determined man, and don't you drive me to the law!" "And you'll find that I am just as determined as you are. Go to law if you want to, but don't you dare to put a hand on me." The Deacon sat down a short distance away to think over the situation. The widow had come with her knitting and a lunch, and she began to knit and sing. Not a word passed between the two for the next three hours. Then the Deacon said: "You can sit here for a whole week, but that post is going in." "I'll sit for a whole month to see that it don't." At noon the Deacon went to the house for dinner. When he returned he brought an umbrella and some sandwiches. The weather looked like rain, and he had determined to tire the widow out if he had to sit up all night. She greeted him with a nod as he sat down, and only once during the next four hours did they pass a word. About four o'clock in the afternoon the Deacon rose up off the grass to yawn and stretch and say: "I've never give up yet, and I never will!" "That's exactly my case," replied the widow as she struck up another song. At six o'clock it began raining. The Deacon expected to see the widow run for cover, but he was disappointed. He raised his umbrella and gave her a long look. He saw that she had a smart, business-like air about her. In fact, her countenance pleased him, and before he was aware of what he was doing he sat down beside her on the edge of the excavation and held the umbrella over her. She looked up and thanked him. For an hour there was nothing further said. Then, as dusk began to close down, the Deacon's stern look relaxed and he smiled and said: "Kinder romantic, all after?" "I was thinking so." "Why can't we both go home?" "We can." "Why can't we be neighborly?" That is, why can't I drop in and see you most any evening?" "No reason why you shouldn't." The next day the post hole filled up, and one evening six months later the Deacon's sister Jane sat up until 11 o'clock to say to him in a sarcastic way as he came in: "Deacon, I thought, you was a determined man?" "So I am," he replied. "I'm determined to marry the Widder Skinner." Even Fakes in Fish. Philadelphia.—The Pennsylvania agricultural department has found that in many delicatessen stores fish have been sold for smoked herring that have never been subjected to smoke, but had been dyed instead. Harry P. Cassidy, the agent of the bureau, was attracted by the rich red color of some herring and after purchasing some he had it examined. It was found that the fish had been subjected to a dyeing process. The retail store proprietors who had the dyed fish for sale expressed great surprise, as they said they had purchased them as genuine smoked herring. The purpose of dyeing is said to lie in the fact that in smoking fish there is a loss of 15 pounds in every hundredweight and that by the coloring method this saving in weight permits the violators of the law to undersell their competitors. A Wrong Impression Fair Critic—Oh, Mr. Smear, those ostriches over there are simply perfect! You should never paint anything else but birds. Artist (sadly)—Those are not cutrliches, madam. They are angels! His Wife's Brother's Wife Some men—most men, the cynics have it—may adore their wives properly and yet not be blind to the fact that in the world are other attractive women. Tunsley was an exception. Any of his acquaintances could have assured you that if the earth had suddenly been deposited of its feminine inhabitants, with the exception of Mrs. Tunsley, he would have gone right on blissfully unaware of the fact. Tunsley came to Chicago on business. The second day he dutifully telephoned his wife's brother's wife, who informed him that her husband was away on business. "Then you must come downtown and have dinner with me," said the sympathetic Tunsey. "And, say, we'll do the auto show afterward!" "Oh, how nice!" said his wife's brother's wife. "I haven't been anywhere since Tom's been gone!" "Thus it came about that Tunsey found himself placidly dining that evening at one of the fashionable cafes with his relative while they discussed family gossip. Suddenly his wife's brother's wife spoke. "What a horrid man!" she murmured. "Why should he keep staring over here in that condescending way?" "Where?" inquired Tunsey, looking. "Oh," he said, "that's Samson—a business acquaintance of mine here!" He bowed cheerfully to Samson. "I wonder why he doesn't come over and be sociable." Something about Samson's smile distracted Tunsley. Then he became slowly aware that his wife's brother's wife across the table was really not so old as she might have been and that her apparel was decidedly becoming. Tunsley also found as he stared at her that she was good to look upon, though why Samson's smile should have made him discover this was to him a mystery. When Samson strolled over to the next table but one to speak to somebody and studiously kept his back turned on Tunsley and his companion Tunsley felt a sudden rush of embarrassment. It was quite plain that Samson thought he didn't want to be seen! "John," said his wife's brother's wife at this point, "was there ever apoplexy in your family? Your face is so red that it's purple!" "Either apoplexy or smallpox—I forget which," mumbled Tunsley. "Let's hurry to the auto show." "Oh, what a stunning car!" said Tunley's wife's brother's wife some time later, pausing before an exhibit. "Look John!" "Yes, yes," said Tunley, uneasily as he edged away. "There's a much nicer one over here!" His companion refused to move, standing entranced before the machine of her dreams. What Tunley's awakened fears had dreaded soon happened. The exhibit in question was from his home city and the man in charge knew him and spied him. He descended on the happy victim with outstretched hand. "Hello, John, old man!" he cried, gayly. Then he glanced at his companion. "My sister, Mrs. Urgum-m-m, Mr. Mummumsm," muttered Tunley. "I am very glad to meet you," said the man in charge, impressively. He was a good-looking man and there was a surprised twinkle in his left eye which infuriated Tunley. He continued to smile on Tunley's wife's brother's wife. "I'm glad," he said, "that John told me you are his sister! I didn't know he had a sister in Chicago! It's lucky, because I'm a friend of Mrs. Tunley's and I was going to run straight to her when I got home and tell her how shockingly John acts when he gets away from home! Ha! Ha! Good joke!" "Har! Har!" barked Tunsley, hollowly, his face crimson. Somehow he had the awful suspicion that the man in charge doubted his word. But his wife's brother's wife only laughed with the man and offered no soothing word of explanation. She seemed to regard it as a joke and Tunsley felt cold prickles creeping up his spine. If only his wife's brother's wife had had the common sense to be ten years older or to have holes in her gloves or to talk about getting home to the children! But she didn't. She had the time of her life wandering among the exhibits Tunsley met exactly seven other persons who knew him at home and every one of the seven beamed at him with the same lurking twinkle when he introduced his wife's brother's wife. "Thank you so much, John," said his wife's brother's wife when finally she let him take her home. "I've had a perfectly beautiful time! When are you coming again?" "When?" echoed Tunsley, mopping his still fevered brow. "I think I may be in Chicago again in about twenty-five years!" Literal.

The Sedan chair, so called from the French town in which it was first made, was the most common means of travel in European cities in the seventeenth and part of the eighteenth century. Soon after they came into use in Sedan they became extremely fashionable, and were in common use among the wealthy classes for nearly 200 years. The first Sedan chair seen in England was in the reign of James I, the duke of Buckingham being the owner. It was in 1581 that the duke first appeared publicly in the vehicle, and possessed no end of popular claims about it. The duke apparently declared that the duke was employing fellow creatures to do the work that properly belonged to beasts, and demanded of the king that he banish the chair. The sovereign refused, however, to interfere with the duke's fancy vehicle and presently the popular indignation cooled off. It was not until 1634 that Sedan chairs gained any considerable degree of popularity in London. In that year Sir Francis Duncombe obtained an exclusive franchise to use, let, and hire Sedan chairs in London for a period of 14 years. The titled friend of the king thus founded what may be called the first "cab stand" in London. By 1749 Sedan chairs have come into common use in England. Meantime they had spread in popularity on the continent, Spain being one of the early countries to adopt them. Where Cleanliness Counted Where Cleanliness Counts. A housekeeper, wishing to change her baker's apron, gate the conditions under which various kinds of bread were made and sold. Beginning with one of the most popular bakeries in town, she found that the leaves of bread were packed in large cases for delivery without being previously wrapped in paper. At the houses of customers, they were taken from the cases and put into bags by hands which not over clean to start with, had been used in driving and in other miscellaneous offices. She spoke with the man who had the contract for delivering the bread, and asked the man why he did not have it put into bags at the bakery. His reply was, "Why, madam, that would never do at all. The bags would get so dirty that the ladies would refuse to take them."—LaFollette's Weekly. Traffic Problem Easy. The Paris subway system carries more persons in the course of the year than that of New York. In the length of the two systems there is not a great difference in the number of York system covers a fourteen-mile stretch of territory laid out in a straight line to all intents and purposes, whereas the Paris system comprises a network in the center of the city. The problem of transportation in Paris is not nearly so complex as in New York and the congestion experienced in New York is unknown in the French metropolis, where the morning or evening rush is in all directions, while in New York the people all desire to go in the same direction at the same time. The travel in Paris is quite conveniently distributed throughout the whole day. To Stop Bleeding at the Nose Introduce by means of a probe a small piece of lint or soft cotton, previously dipped into some mild styptic, as a solution of alum, white vitriol, crescote, or even cold water, this will generally prove successful, but should fail, cold water may be enuifexed, or oscirus. If these remedies fail, and if the bleeding be very profuse, medical advice should be obtained. Fogs and Winds. The movement of air is variously designated, according to its velocity, as a zephyr, breeze, wind, gale or hurricane. With fogs the designations are mists, slight, moderate or thick. A dense or thick fog, according to the weather bureau, obscures objects at a distance of 1,000 feet. The Right Place for Fine Diamonds and Diamond Jewelry Prices Right, Quality Considered C. L.

Souvenirs Every Friday Night —PROCTOR AND HILL—ED Entertainers WORTHINGTON, Manager HERE'S A CONSUMPTION CURE Milk Strippings From Healthy Cow Taken While Warm Said to Be an Efficacious Remedy. Milk strippings when taken from a healthy cow that gives very rich milk and taken in quantities of a quart twice a day immediately after mil- king, before it cools any, will cure a larger per cent. of cases of consum- ption than any other method. It will also prevent it when taken id time. The reason why it is so successful is because it is absorbed or transfused into the chickens almost immediately without taking alginate or oat- gan, as all other foods do, and as the strippings or last quart of the milking from a cow that gives very rich milk is nearly all cream, the patients will take on fat so much faster than can be accomplished by any other method that they soon gain enough strength and vitality to overcome the gorms causing consumption. To get the best results one should begin with a glass of strippings and increase gradually; but if there is any disgust for it created any time, the quantity should be decreased at once to one-half and then increase gradually again. In two or three weeks the patient can usually take a quart in the morning and evening. It is very important to take it immediately after milking so as not to allow it to cool below blood heat. In cold weather it should be milked into a dish resting in warm water to prevent it from cooling any.—B. J. Kendall, M. D. Drawbacks of Society in a town of this size, the husbands of the "society" who have the dress suits which they bought to be married in and have outgrown, but when an evening affair occurs, the "society" women stuff their fat husbands into the tight dress suits, and go. Then, at the party, all the married women get together, and tell what awful times they had getting their husbands into the dress suits. If there is a sound as of something tearing, every married woman turns as white as death; she thinks it is her husband's trousers. At a late evening affair a married couple came late, and the woman explained to a group of married women that at the last moment she had to put gussets in her husband's trousers, "and even with those gussets," she said, and she sits down. Another woman said she had a band's vest with a button hook, and that he vowed he could not stand it, and threatened every minute to unbutton it. "If he does," she said, "we will have to go home early; I just can't get it together again."—Atlanta Constitution. Australian Names "Nearly all my friends," remarked an Australian the other day, "call me a 'cornstalk.' I've quit correcting them long ago. "Now, as it happens, the term should only be applied to the people of New South Wales. They are the tall, slim blokes who look as though you could break them in two between your finger and thumb. I come from the colony of Victoria, where we are known by the still more unattractive subtriquet of 'gumsuckers,' on account of our great forests of blue gum trees. In the tropics, and the inhabitants are banished towers." The South Australians are 'crow eaters,' because in times of drought the natives are sometimes reduced to the use of crows as food. "So call me a 'gumsucker' if you like, but never a 'cornstalk,' and the next time you want to apply a nickname to an Australian ask him from which colony he comes." The project of an art arcade for Carlsbad, which has been for so many years a vexed question among the tradesmen's associations, is now making progress. The preparations have been pushed with noticeable energy. Extensive earth and rock excavations have been necessary to make room at the building, and it can promote for the building and it can be seen that useful work has been done. The little booths which formerly stood here and gave the appearance of an annual fair were certainly no ornament for the most fashionable promenade among the world's watering places. Instead of this medley of booths of all possible colors and styles a tasteful, roomy and stately building provides a worthy home for the creations of Carlsbad, industries, as well as those of natives and foreign artists, thus filling a long-felt want. Outdoors a Good School Children should be allowed to remain out of doors as much as possible, so that they can develop a sense of beauty of form and color, according to Prof. William F. Gray, who addressed a meeting of the Philadelphia Mothers' Club recently. He spoke on "Children and Art," and he said that children should be taught to study nature in all her moeds, because art is based on the finer qualities of nature. Mother's Pumpkin Pie. A man's measure of success is shown up in the quality and quantity of how his meals arrive in time. The supreme end of everything even in politics is pie; pie for the elect few, it may be; pie for the great mass—many, many. The foresters foremore the one the best cry is pie. And where is the pie that beats the good old pumpkin, pumpkin pie like mother made? Real Cuplditz. Edna—Jack and I had the most delightful time on shipboard. Katharine—Granclous! I don't see how you could enjoy yourselves under the watchful eyes of the chaperon. Eda—Oh, we used a little strategy. You see, we told the chapron if she saw her hair, her eyes she would avoid snackiness, but her eyes she closed most of the voyage." Cause for Peculishness: "What's the matter with your wife? She seems very irascible lately." Why, she was assisting at a rumor, somebody sold her new hat for 36 cents. MEMORIES OF MUTINY SCENES THAT RECALL HORRORS OF INDIAN OUTBREAK. Massacres by the Treacherous Nana Sahib—Black Hole of Calcutta and Other Places of That Historic Nightmare. At Cawnpur was a large native garrison, and when they mutuled, Nana Sahib put himself at their head. The Europeans, including more women and children than fighting men, were besieged for two weeks, and then, trusting to a safe-conduct from Nana Sahib, they surrendered. They embarked on boats on the Ganges, the boats were set alife and shot at by the natives from both banks, and only four escaped. The women and children were massacred a few days later, some of them being pitchforked living in the bayonets of their murders. Delhi was besieged for months from the delirious ridge, over which I have walked and driven, but it was only in September that the Kashmir Gate was blown in, and Nicholson fell at the head of the storming party. The chief commissioner of Oudh was a Lawrence, and not a Lawrence for nothing. He prepared for a siege in the residence at Lucknow, and was provoked there, but his intelligent guardian prevented it, till at last Lucknow was relieved. It is one of the ghastly nightmares of history to see that Black Hole of Calcutta, that well at Cawpur, that cellar in the residency at Lucknow, that grave-dotted ridge at Delhi. Women and children outraged, suffocated, phichorked on bayonets, burn, stabbed, harried and strangled; it is a horrible thing what one of all that, it is British in British vengeance, not curs, but it is a disgrace to the whole white race that British callousness, and lack of taste and reverence, should permit these graves to be overgrown with weeds, should suffer that miserable little graveyard on the ride above 'Delhi, should allow the lettering on the Kashmir Gate to be defaced. The only monument in all India that is not awesty is the statue of John Nicholson, the more than one of the statues of the white empress and the white emperor of India that are black From "Mughal to Briton," by Price Coller, in Scribner's. Life Saving Contests for Minera SAVING Contests for Miners. Mining men from all parts of the country attended the second annual inter-company first aid team held recently at Wilkes-Barre. Fall, under the auspices of the National Red Cross society, United States army officers acted as judges in the contests in which various teams demonstrated their skill in rescuing miners under most difficult conditions. An alright mine chamber was built in an open field for the contests and charged with various kinds of fumes, such as are met with in coal mines, and it was in this that the first aid teams did their rescue work, completing their task of restoring the rescued mines out in the open air. Teams from the Lehigh Valley Coal company, Pennsylvania, Hillside, Temple, and Delaware, Lackawanna and West Virginia, in the events, which were in charge of the Charles Lynch of the United States army. For the first time in the history of the movement there was a display of first aid work by engineers from the government experiment station at Pittsburg. How the Spirits Spell. "Judging by spiritistic communications I have received lately simple spelling must be more popular in the world beyond that it is in this," said a man who patronizes medians. "Half the messages received from the spirit land nowadays are spelled in a way bring joy to the hearts of the elimination of the old-fashioned book but many, transmit them thus. Mediuma who know the old-fashioned spelling book well enough to spell down a whole room full of folks have gone over to the revised edition. "Whatever force it is that guides their hands when transmitting messages must be impressed with the utility of the new system. At the last seance I attended I received a communication from a man who fought n-fangled spelling with his dying breath. He must have learned something to make him change his mind, for he now writes like a disciple of Artemus Ward."—New York Times. Modes and Madness A considerable stir is being caused in scientific circles by a lecture delivered before the Psychological Society of Berlin by Prof. Rudolph Foerster, in which the lecturer declared that insanity can be judged by dress. Especially is this so in the case of women. Insane women, said Dr. Foerster, nearly always love bright colors, and wear them in disorder. Nearly all women who are extravagant in dress are mentally abnormal, and hover on the verge of mental breakdown. Whereas, a man's insanity usually begins by excessive anxiety about his professional interests, that of a woman indicates itself by too much attention to personal appearance. Dr. Foerster added that insanity itself does not make which makes their victims violent are decreasing. Nowadays the insane tend to be quiet and harmless. About All He Had. A traveling man, who was a cigarette smoker, reached town on an early train. He wanted a smoke, but none of the stores was open. Near the station he saw a newsboy smoking, and approached him to say: "Say, son, got another cigarette?" "No, slim," said the boy, "but I've got makings." The newsboy said: "But I can't roll 'em very well. Will you fix one for me?" The boy did. "Don't believe I've got a match," said the man, after a search through his pockets. The boy handed him a match. "Say, captain," he said, "you ain't got anything but the habit, have you?" WE SELL PROPERTY ANYWHERE ON THE SOUTH SIX W. H.
