Vincent to raise money to return to Germany, where he no figure in his making money. Chaudallers had to be removed from middle of hall on account of Mr. Barnette's height, while a certain lady had to stand on a chair to serve at the punch bow; but for all that, they had a glorious time. By C. D. Greene. The Chicago Tuskegee Club and friends were entertained royally Tuesday evening, April 18, 1911, at the Kenwood Pariors, 440 Langley avenue, by Claude A. Barnette, Edward William Knox Flemming, Lucius Simmons, William E. Mitchell and Harry F. Simpson. The affair was a grand success and in spite of the inclement weather, was largely attended. The satisfactory way in which everything was arranged and conducted prevented the slightest mishap and the gentlemen mentioned above are congratulated and deserve the very highest praise for careful and laborious preparation on their part. At the outset it became evident that dancing, while the leading pleasure, was not going to be the "whole thing." Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Brewton, Mrs. Hadnott, accompanied by her brother, Mr. Lucius Simmons, Mrs. Eggleston, Mrs. Harris and Mr. and Mrs. Claude Greene arrived a little later, but lost not a moment in finding their pleasure. Descari Decker and Miss Bertha Drewton enjoyed their time to whist. Miss Salila Frazier joined the whist players later. Mrs. Eggleston, Mrs. Hadnott, Mrs. Harris, Mrs. Greene, Miss Lareta Ward, Miss Ruth Tubbs and Miss Margaret Richley assisted in serving the punch. The dancing was great and it is safe to say that no one was neglected. Many of the visiting friends distinguished themselves. In Mr. Wm. Knox Fleming the club has a splendid representative in the dancing there. There are others, however, among him are Mr. Claude Barnette, Mr. Lucius Simmons and Mrs. Haddott. We beg to mention the presence of Mr. R. S. Abbot, Editor of the Defender, who seemingly enjoyed himself highly. Mr. Thompson assisted in many ways. Among some of our visitors were Mrs. Cora Fatten, Mrs. Simpson, Mrs. A. E. Roundtress, Miss E. M. Thomas, Miss Florence Lear Gare, Miss H. Jackson, Mrs. Oscar Brewton and Miss B. M. Jackson. The Kenwood orchestra furnished the music, which made a fine showing. Prof. A. C. Elig, leader; Mrs. Goldle Redman, pianist; Eugene Renfro, clarinet, and Mr. Ed Williams, saxophone. When we read of the full train crew law which is being pushed by the Railway Men's Union, little did any of us think that the union intended expelling all the colored train porters of all the railroads in the State of Illinois. Mr. Green, through the bill asked one of the lobbyists about it, and he could not explain why the train crew, whereupon our representative got wise and he will now proceed to fight the bill. The Once Brainy Opposer of the Race Meets with Sad Ending in His Last Days—The Senator Comes from a Family of Race Haters; They Never at Any Time Represented the F. F. S. C. NEGROES ARE SORRY FOR CONDITION. After All His Rage and After All His Villification of the Race and All That, Great Credit is Given Him for Being a Man to Fight Out In Open and Not Like the Northern Assasin. 'Race' Knew How to Handle Him. What is said to be a peculiar condition in history in the United States is only the true form of a white man's weakness for upholding the pride of sin and shame which come to the children of the father, to the children of a white race pathetically blind, sustaining the curse of human error which made of Tillman the eye-sore of all men who love God and honor His choice in creating the human family. The truth is that it has been known for many months that the caustic old Senator has been suffering from brain trouble, a true indication of the dread disease which comes from a condemned conscience. Recent dispatches telling of his collapse as a guarded official public indication of the racked condition of his abnormal temperament, caused by the rotten state of his beclouded mind. Tillman has been a man whose painting has not only been regarded with suspicion, but whose death the hopes of the Negro race as a ruler of human despair are unorthodox. And now in the hour of his unconscious conception of his weakness of mind and body, it has been considered necessary to frankly admit that unless these facts are made understood it would be feared that his survival might still enable him to do the Negro race further harm. But close observers of the ugly natured Senator, who once came and openly insulted the people of Chicago, but whom the Christian community, looked upon with pity and gave him such protection as he would not be willing to give unto others, have decided that his days are numbered in the land of the living among men who long for just and equal public rights and happiness for all. And Tillman was the monster who once incited mobs which caused maddened, sweating men to abuse the golden rule as imps do in the lowest depths of hell with all its iniquity. It was at a Democratic love feast in Baltimore that, the Tillman of old, made his declining speech, which will probably nonsimple life of destructive useful- tillman now meets his reward on earth. In a section where the story of his life is a great moral and the conditions of his repentance are left to his God. CHICAGO SINGER IN KENTUCKY. Covington, Ky., April 21—Mrs. Claybrook, the Chicago singer, and husband, who have been spending the week here visiting relatives and friends, sang at the First Church on Easter. The town is now talking of her elegant voice and that the beautiful manner in which she rendered "The Palms." At the Dunbar reception she took all honors from both the home and out of town talent, at the Ninth Street M. E. Church. We can say one thing for Chicago and that is most of her citizens excel in all that they undertake to do. They seem to study what they try to do more than those who live in other northern cities. JOHNSON IN JAIL—TANNER WINS CHAMPIONSHIP, George Tanner of the Chicago post office is now champion of the Chicago checker players, having won in the city, tournament at the South Side Checker club last Sunday. There are only a few colored players in this club, the rest being white. The boys are red, blue and green. He will probably compete in the state tournament this summer.

Green has gotten a law on the statute books of the State that colored people can bury their dead for the same price as whites, should they pay $50 now for a grave they ought to. There is a fine of from $25 to $500 for overcharging him. His next bill is to regulate the renting of houses and flats. Colored people pay more for less accommodations than do whites. Wednesday last was an important day in the life of Miss Lucille Peyton, 3630 Dearborn street. It was her birthday and quite a few of her friends gathered in an informal way in the evening and helped celebrate the event. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1911.

HARRIS BARRETT SPEAKS AT PHILLYL HEATLEY Those who remained at home because of the rain missed a splendid treat as all persons on the program were indeed interesting speakers. Mrs. Harris Barrett, of Hampton, Virginia, has done a great work and with the sweet disposition she has, it will not be wondered at. She seems to draw the people to her and in that way accomplishes a great deal. Her talk was interesting and very well researched when she had time to work, native of Cuba, also gave us a very excellent talk on the ways and customs of her people. We hope to have her with us often, as she seemed very much interested in such work. Mrs. Emanuel gave us a splendid outline of the settlement work she is engaged in, and spoke very encouragingly of it. We wish for her the success her efforts deserve. We were pleased to have so many workers with us and to see them offener. Mr. Robert Jackson took us to work with us. He recited one of his books which was greatly appreciated by all. We hope to have him with us again very soon and have some of his pictures on exhibition. He showed us his appreciation of our work by laying one dollar on the table to help the good work along. Our thanks to him and also the Pandora Girls for their donation to us of $3. Money is never refused. We hope at least six of the members will have names to Mrs. Pearson to help her with the mortgage fund. This is a very important part of our work. Mrs. Jordan needs six good workers with her to look after the taxes. Volunteers are asked for. This makes the work much easier and pleasanter for all. Giving each section a good earnest leader, you are sure to have success. Who has taken the interest division? The house committee expect a splendid time at their social, May 10th. CHICAGO'S MOST BEAUTIFUL ROOMING HOUSE. Attention was called this week to the Defender to inspect Chicago's most beautiful room house, and it can be called dreamland. It is undoubtedly the most beautiful in the city. Go where you may, you will not see another like it. In asking Mrs. Jackson, the proprietor, when she not in such elaborate and expensive furniture, she said: "You see, and you must remember that the young men and women coming to Chicago are coming from well regulated homes, and in order to meet the demand, I have gone to the expense of fitting this house to meet the needs of those who are used to a refined home; as to the low price, that is made to keep my roomers. We have steam heat because the house, and make dust through the house, and make dust through the house, and railroadmen, who will take rooms off me are dormitories, and students, railroadmen, as well as office men. I got it near the elevated station to save time. My daughter, Miss Jeanette Fite, is the manager. You may tell your readers that 3517 Wabash avenue is a model home for ladies and gentlemen to stop, and no others need apply, as 'rushing cans' and the 'privilege system' will not be tolerated, as only ladies and gentlemen of the first class will be taken. A reporter for the Defender, who examined the house with its fourteen rooms, showed it the most beautiful rooming in America. The brass beds and box windows are leading attractions. Hot and cold water in all the rooms, both from main, is another feature, and a real college room will greet you when you enter this beautiful villa. Go and see for yourself; if you see it in the Defender you may count on it. Look for their ad elsewhere in this paper. and quite a number sojourned to the card rooms, where whist was allowed to contribute its share of pleasure to the evening. JAMES TRACY, JR., DIES.

Childress contributed one of the most beautiful solos that was ever heard to part from his lips. Also Mrs. Bertha Grady sang a most pleasing and beautiful solo.

Chattanooga, Tenn., April 21—The Sabbath day was a balmy one and the religious services at the various places of worship were in a large attendance by the church-goers, whose delight it was to listen attentively to their respective divines, whose great pleasure it was to eloquently preach the gospel to the reviling of their souls and to convince the sinners and their minds turning heavenward by the plan of salvation for mankind. The choirs sang sweetly on this occasion. At 11 a. m. at the First Baptist church Rev. C. A. Bell, B. D. pastor, preached a most powerful sermon. Text: "I pray thee open his eyes, that he may see." II Kings 8:17. In this he captured the entire audience and held them as with a magic force. He is an eloquent speaker. The choir sang some sweet music. The Easter services promised to be very attractive and interestingly arranged that all might be delightfully entertained during the rendition of the program. At the Quinn A. M. E. church, Rev. E. A. Martin, pastor, Text: Matt 28:2-7. The "Easter Message" was the sermon for the occasion, which was indeed masterly handled by this divine, who indicated much study and research for this eventful occasion. The First Congregational church had an excellent Easter program for rendering, which was beautiful. At the Quinn A. M. e. church, Rev. E. A. Martin, pastor. The Ladies' Home and Foreign, Missionary Society. Miss Naomi D) Parks, the lovely daughter of Bishop Parks, D.

Coming from such a family circle, it added luster to the splendid talk which she gave and inspired the women in the mission work to great efforts.

And in his honor the ladies tendered her a grand reception. Words of praise, Rev. T. Y. Moore, D. D. P. E. Rev. Diggs, Rev. E. A. Martin and Wm.

The choir sang some choice selections. The sermon, Rev. I. H. Welch, D. D., pastor Warren A. M. E. church, was made very impressive as he made a beautiful description of the basis and character of the founder and the principles of this noble order and for what it stands. The ladies all looked very charming in their department. The Uniform Rank was fine, also. We note with intense interest the contestant campaign under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity for the beautiful suite of furniture to be awarded to the most successful contestant receiving the very highest number of votes.

The vast auditorium and galleries of Quinn chapel were crowded on Easter Sunday morning and many persons were unable to secure seats. The floral decorations were beautiful and abundant. The altar was a mass of blooming plants and Easter lilies and a large white cross of lilies gave an impressive dignity and grandeur to the superb decorations. The sermon was preached by Rev J. P. Howard, the evangelist, of Kansas City, Mo., who has been conducting a series of meetings for the past three weeks with great success. The music under Prof. Ed F. Morris was rendered by the Young Cantata club and was appropriate and well rendered. Miss Sinclair White, the young violinist, rendered 'Ave Marle' in excellent style and expression.

Editor The Defender: I arrived in Montreal all "O. K." and had no trouble. The customs officers looked through my suit case, but asked me no questions. They did not even awaken me. I took sleeper from Chicago to Montreal and no questions asked. Had my trunk shipped in bond. But they are stopping quite a few colored men and will not let them come into this country unless they have fifty ($50) dollars in cash or a job. They only ask those that ride in the day coaches. I was talking to three young men from New York. They had a hard time getting over here. The custom officers or emigration officials did not want to let them come across the line. Montreal is not a very clean city, the streets are worse than any of our back streets nothing but snow and ice. I stopped at the James Hotel (white) when I first landed here. The white people are very nice as long as you have money. There are few nice colored people here, but the town is full of bad colored people. They are the rift-ratt from large cities, mostly railroad men; nothing else for them to do but railroad. Accommodations here among the colored people are very poor. I will tell you more about the place later on. I will be here all the summer if nothing happens. Regards to those whom ask of me. I am, respectfully. P.

Mrs. Barrett has shown the ladies of Chicago where they are letting great opportunities slip by for helping the race. She told each lady to be a committee of one and see to it that the old Chicago girl goes to our city schools, beg clothes, she says, for those who haven't them, and to it that the race maintain the encouragement the white race is giving them in Chicago, for there is no other city in America, like it.

Lorimer day in the Senate, they say, Lays heavy on Illinois. But the money bag in the American flag Makes an awful lot of noise. If a minister happens to speak his sentiments in favor of sacrilege purity in Chicago he'll starve to death unless he is a man who has built up a sure foundation, then he can speak as Dr. Fisher speaks from Olivet. Senator Lorimer, highly esteemed, personally, no longer degrades his political character, but is successfully happy in seeing the newspapers scorching the political family.

States Attorney William and of a second trial of the case. This does not alter the fact that any poor devil has a right to his life, even if he rides a freight.

The Easter services in the several churches were especially commendable and appropriate and the choriest and singers must be highly praised for maintaining strictly sacred selections upon the program. The use of secular solos at Sunday and literary services and the use of love is shocking. Certainly the colored choir would know that sacred songs only should be the rule in any and every kind of Sunday service. The recent decision of Judge Sanford of the United States court for the Middle District of Tennessee, in dismissing the demurrer of the railroad in the "Jim Crow" car case, originally brought in Georgia, is a big victory for the negroes of the South who have been fighting for equal accommodations. The accommodations furnished the colored passengers on many roads in the South have been much inferior to those given white passengers, although both paid the same amount of fare. There has been considerable comment, adversely and unfavorable to Bishop Schaeffer's administration of late, and the next A. M. E. church general conference should see to it that the most-white bishop be restrained from picking out preachers according to the brightness of their complexion and the ability of their ability as Christian ministers. The bishop will now be under the careful surveillance of the associated practitioners of foremost Negro journalism. What the big churches in the large cities need and must have is the best pick of the brainstem ministers, who are clean men and genuine Christians, without regard to color. Prof. W. E. B. DuBois, Ph.D., has formulated a new code entitled "The Five New Rights," which serves for all men, black and white alike, herein outlined: "First—The right to individuality: The right to his own color, his own way of thinking and his own prejudices, so far as these things do not interfere with other people's rights to the same things." Second.—The right to public courtesy. To visit public places without insults and to ride in conveyances unmolested and to be entertained in public hostilities. Third.—The right of opportunity. The right to be educated in his childhood and then have the doors of economic political development thrown open to him. Fourth.—The right of peace. The protection from force and violence in the prosecution of work and this cannot be done until a stop is put to war and lynching and peonage and wage slavery. Fifth.—A right to the truth. Race prejudice in this land could not stand for a day if as much effort was made to have the truth in regard to all human beings known as is now made in trying to spread lies about them." Which way is the Southern Salvationists going—to heaven or hell? Read this: "At the interstate conference of the Salvation Army, held in the First Congregation Church, a decision was practically reached that the welfare of the organization, particularly in the South, demanded a separation of the white and colored workers." A sprited debate ensued when the question was broached, and Southern delegates glammed for segregation, while those from the North vigorously opposed such a revolutionary course. As an outcome steps will be taken to organize a Negro Salvation Army in the South, with a full equipment of Negro officers from top to bottom." To our way of thinking, the Negro should say, to the Navy of Religion. But it seems some Negroes are better satisfied sulking behind such would-be Christians. Would to God they could see what fools they are. If such must be the case, let the Negro army do its work among the Negroes. The Negroes want to see God's face in power. Hurrah. Hurrah. And in good good white man. His name is Charles B. Alcock, Natchez, Miss, and here is what he says: "As a white man I am afraid of but one thing for my race, and that is that we shall become afraid to give the Negro a fair chance. The first duty of every man is to develop himself to the uttermost and the only limitation he has is that he will take pains to see that in his own development he does no injustice to those beneath him. This is true of races as well as of individuals. Considered properly, it is not a limitation, but a condition of development. The white man in the South can never attain to his fullest growth until he does absolute justice to the Negro and will well for him. If he is not doing it he must seek to know the ways of truth and pursue them." TO MY DEPARTED FRIEND MRS.

You would worry, if you were in my place." How many times has this little conversation been repeated, one friend chiding another for the puckered brow and frowning look, the mood of depression and the anxious, weared, careworn slump of mind and body together, incidental to a habit of worry. True, it is easy to know who is overborne by the burdens she has to endure, but she will make her load no lighter. She knows this, yet while she concedes that worry is doing no good, she goes on as if she were climbing a hill and slipping back at every step or gripping through a thick fog, unable to free herself from the smothering clutch of this flend. Three-fourths of the woman patients in a certain insane asylum are said to have reached their morbid estate and the loss of mental balance through the influence of worry. Worry is the enemy of the useless tissue, is the enemy of happiness, and a prolific cause and aggravation of ill health.-Christian Herald. ```markdown ``` How Hindus Obtain Fire. Fire is obtained for the important Hindu ceremony of Yanga by a curious method, says a writer in the Strand, matches not being considered holy. The priest holding the two ends of a piece of cord colled round a vertical rod, the lower end of which fits into a groove cut out in the block of wood in which the rod rests, by a means of the rod to rotate very rapidly, it being meanwhile kept in position by the second priest by means of a horizontal handle with a hole in which the rod turns. The friction between the rod and the lower block of wood after a short time sets fire to the latter. This fire, by timely nourishment, is developed into a glorified fire, and the lower block is verified very sacred by the orthodox Hindus. They, of course, kept grumbling all the while.

JIVES FOOD TO WILD BIRDS Inique Purpose of Uncle Dick Society in England With Five Thousand Members. Mrs. Harborough-Sherard, an authoress, using name of "trees beagood," who comes of an old Virginia family, and lives in England, has borne an association of young people interested in birds, under the title of the Uncle Dick society. The organization has nearly 5,000 members. The purpose of the society is to furnish children with water for birds, especially in the season when provisions are scarce. A feature of the work of the society in December was the Christmas parades for the birds, in which the children acted as hosts. On Christmas day, in all parts of Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire, meat, bones and roocanut shells were affixed to the trees and shallow dishes containing water and seed were placed on the ground. Thousands of birds congregated and appeared to appreciate this thoughtfulness. A member of the society says: "We keep the birds plentifully supplied with nutmets and beef suet, with a stick run through the meat so the birds will not run off with the whole lot; for they are greedy little beggars, particularly the robins. Then we cut the ends of coconuts, hang these on a tree branch, and stuff the shells with suet or beef fat. The tomits perch on the tree and get to the suet and to keep off to another. Then we place fresh water out, twice a day in freezing weather, for birds of all sorts, which eagerly come to drink from the shallow earthenware pans. These must not be more than an inch deep, as birds drown easily when they are weak and cold." It must be remembered they suffer as much from thirst as from hunger in winter. We put out seed—sunflower, canary and many other seeds—and split marrow-bones, and once in awhile we give them distilled potato or an apple split, open it, and crumbs and other dainites. They become tame that one may almost caress them. All the children take a lively interest in the proceeding, and much good has been derived from these little bird parties." The Sunday Magazine. Urges Shakespeare Memorial. "For the Greatest Theater in the World" is the title under which Mr. Bren Greet, the Shakespeare actor, urges the building of a national theater as a memorial to the poet. "The Shakespeare Memorial Theater," he says, in the World's Work for April, "would be located in New York—the second largest English-speaking city in the world and doubtless destined to be the first. It would be down-town—not above Fourteenth street. I should say—so as to be within easy reach of the mass of the people. For it is among the 'people,' in contradiction to 'society,' that sophistication and polite are today added to performers to have the engaging savor and filip of modernity—plays which for the most part substitute the accidents and ephemeral interests of the present day for the deep, broad Olympic emotions of classic dramas. But among the people of simpler life the demand for the time-tested yet ever-new, the perennially significant essential human drama remains insistent and the loving appreciation of Shakespeare is as such as if the man were the greatest living playwright of the most modern day." Competition In Christianity Many good stories have been told by Methodist ministers gathered in conference, and one of the best is that related by Rev. Joseph B. Hingley of Chicago. It tells of the race between ministers or rival denominations to establish a church in one of the growing Montana towns. "A Baptist clergyman was headed that way," said Rev. Mr. Hingley, "and was discovered by a friend in one of the forward seats of the smoker as the train speed westward. "Hush," said the Baptist to his friend. "Don't mention me. There's a Congregational preacher three seats behind me and I'm afraid he'll beat me to the ground, and I'm determined to get there first and I will hold my church." "But the man was doomed to dispellment, for a Methodist preacher rode west on the cow church, and was digging the cellar by the time the Baptist emerged from the train."—Philadelphia Times. Not Cheap Advice. "I had a message from the Black Hand," said the resident of Grattburg. "They told me to leave $2,000 in a vacant house in a certain street." "Did you tell the police?" "Right away." "What did they do?" "They said that while I was about it I might leave them a couple of thousand in the same place." Better Done In Private A well-known doctor, we read, advises people to roll the eyes in order to strengthen the eye-muscles. A little risky, perhaps; for if this exercise were carelessly practiced in crowded restaurants and other public places, the eye would stand a good chance of being suddenly blackened. Man's Muscular Force A man is weakest in the morning, just after rising from bed. Our muscular force is greatly increased by breakfast, but it attains its highest point after the mid-day meal.

Let All Who Wish to Keep Abreast with the Society, News Watch this Column. Lexington, Mo., April 21—For the past two weeks some little two-legged mouse has been going around telling lies on the reporter. Somebody said he was in the saloons drinking whiskey and raising the devil, etc. If there ever was a lie told, this is one. The truth of the whole thing is that some of the young people of Lexington don't like the reporter because he tells the truth on them about their devilment. The truth on them on some people and they are realizing you about it. Some of our young people much devilment in them that the devil himself can't kick it out of them. The reporter is not one of the kind, that upholds people in their devilment. The truth is, the light, and whenever the reporter gets so bad that he can't tell the truth, he will stop the business and let someone else take his place. These very people that are always kicking about the Lexington news, are the very ones the shoes are pinching. Kick on, my young friends, I am going to tell the truth and fight for against wrong if it costs me my life to do so. If God is for me he is more prepared nothing against me. Therefore, I have nothing to fear if the Lexington news is to take the case to your God, for I never did and never will speak a good word for those who don't observe it. I am truly yours. JOHN H. ARNOLD, Reporter. (Notice)—O. J. Mullen has sold his restaurant on Ninth street to Mrs. Wm. Woodson, so when you want something good to eat go in and see Mrs. Woodson. She has three daughters and a son who will assist her in the business. She will treat you right and give you your money's worth. Everything in her line is first class and up-to-date. Don't forget to stop in and see her on South Ninth street, Lexington, Mo. (Notice)—Some of the Lexington people have forgotten their manners. When a strange person comes to town you want it published in the papers. You should publish there if you don't report it to the reporter? The reporter does not know every strange person that comes to Lexington. Please have some manners and introduce your friends to the reporter if you want it published. Why "Jack Robinson" is Quick. A. Foxen Ferguson, of Oxford university, speaking of the old-time ballads, said that as most of the public executions took place in some park or market-place, where everybody could be present, the onlookers oftentimes be incarcerated by singing bands giving the entire history of the vietnam, and this is the reason why so many of the old songs are concerned with the hangman and the gallows tree. Particularly interesting also was his description of the origin of the expression "quicker than you can say Jack" from England and America. It came, he said, from an old ballad about a sailor named Jack Robinson, who returned to Portsmouth, England, to find his old sweetheart married to another. The poor sailor vowed that he would roam the seas forever, which he sat almost before his friends realized what he was. They called after him, but he had gone. Boston Transcript. To Save Time. He simply couldn't help it. He was born lazy. As a rule, if not sleepy, he could get through a shave in about 35 minutes. But today, after only 14 hours' sleep, he appeared even more sluggish than ever. As he applied the lather to his customer's beard, his brush lingered hallway, as though loath to leave the stubby chin to which it was being applied. The customer was a patient man, and stood this for a considerable while. But at last his patience began to coexe, and incurred a 40 winks' interval with a cough. "Sere, lad," he suggested. "Aa've ap idea. Hand your hand, keep the brush still, an' Aa'all wag ma head for ye!" All the Attractions "This seems to be quite a progressive town," said the stranger. "Oh, yes," the native proudly replied, "the big cities isn't got nothing on us. We've just finished a hotel that has a mezzanine floor." Serious Oversight. They say: "There shall be hewers of wood and carriers of water"—have they overlooked the carriers of scandalous tales? Life Insurance Solicitor. Was Invited into a Machine Shop to Do His Talking. "The toughest experience I ever had in my life," said a life insurance solicitor, with an iron manufacturer in Troy, knew he was wealthy and carried no insurance. He received to tackle him. Upon entering his office and explaining my business, I was surprised at his friendly, even cordial greeting. "Life insurance," he said. "Well, now, that is a subject that interests me. Come with me to the shop. I've got to go there and you can tell me all about your company." Then he took up his hat and I followed him, until at last he fung open a door. It was the machine shop, and the dina was terrible. Hundreds of hammers were all beating iron at once, and I was nearly deafened. Looking at my man I saw his lips made, and leaning forward, I saw him try to hear him. I told him tell me all about it. He smiled as he said this, and I saw the trick that had been played on me. It was impossible to say a word, so I marched right out of the shop and never went back." What Is a Quack? What is a quack? Any unorthodox healer, we suppose, offends theiatric trade union of his day by succeeding where they fall. When a young English doctor sees with his own eyes a faith-cure at Lourdes he shakes his head, but he goes home with ganglions. The medical authorizes discountenance "bone-setters," but there is one with a consulting room in Park lane who, according to an article in the English Review, would appear to enjoy a remarkably satisfactory-clientele in spite of boycott. Herbalists, too, come under the censure of the Blue Book; yet we recall with a certain amount of an Oxford Socialist—is his name not chronicled in The Life of William Morris?—who lately plied the trade of herbalist in all simplicity and honor.

By Sylvester Russell Sardinian measures of galling pressure seems to have threatened the exalted air upon which the two foremost stars of their race and respective sexes have floated. Danger is night. The day star of hope gives no signal and we may perish. We, the race that strives; we, the race that is encumbered by obstacles far greater than the compilers of a prisoner's annual. Once upon a time, not so many years ago, there blossomed upon the American stage two young men who were born to shine as stars and whose destiny was besought by the agency of time, which changes the lives of individuals. Among the flowers of youth was George W. Walker, the Negro stage Napoleon of his day. The one man who boldly stood up in his 4.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000. exalted position and made it possible for the Negro theaspian of his time, but in whom we did not really discover until after he had passed away. But the name of Williams and Walker is still fresh in the pages of American stage history; so fresh that we can scarcely afford to stand aside and see that name go to waste; that name which means so much prestige and so very much asset to the Negro professional. When George W. Walker struck the key board, of fame and success it was melodic divine to those who could interpret the song of his soul. He wanted Paul Lawrence Dunbar to write his lyrics; he wanted Marion Cook to write his music and, above all, he wanted Jesse A. Shipp to write his plays. And for years after Dunbar had quite and Cook, the freel music master had relinquished his duty, Mr. Shipp continued in the usual way. Walker had discovered in Shipp the one essential to his success and the greatest secret of his power. It was the fertile brain of Jesse A. Shipp that kept the literary productive steam supplied with which to launch the great Williams and Walker ship and keep it afloat upon a mighty sea. But the ship is deserted now; the captain is gone and the crew is scattered. But in the name of Williams and Walker all hope is not yet lost. There may be a possibility of convincing managers that the team name which drew more money into the box office than any other attraction upon the stage of either continent, can be resurrected. The pathway would be clear for Bert A. Williams and Alda Overton Walker. They have had varied experiences since the original company disbanded. They have no doubt discovered that it is better to stand the vicissitudes of life and fight it out together as parties who are used to each other and in one social class than to be humiliated by being thrown into contact with such relations as have existed in companies in which both of these stars have been serving. Here the useful life of George Walker is again indicated. It can be read in two sentences: He married a woman of soft talent. He made of her a that she is fully capable of late husband's place to susne of Walker. More so. I than Rosamond Johnson Johnson was to follow afinal Billy. I cannot state uld play the parts created ker. No, one can ever take But one thing is certain, actors who could fill a like and in the position of the Walker his wife could well and shine. Just what Mrs. plans are for next season is: It is rumored that she i with the present company, reported that she has congo to Europe and it is whisat she and Bert Williams are ought together by a million indicate. Where there is so soke there must be some fire, i do people know that Mrs. must be weary of masquerad cluster of third class houses. dear Mr. Williams, how about These are his day and night But no; we are not to make a of him. He hasn't got got his clipped. He has got to rise up clare to Manager Ziegfeld that the nation's king and must be ed—otherwise he won't be a Williams' past year's history the "Follies of 1910" need not hearsed. He has been on probabboth as a another star and as are person among white actors, are his inferiors. / The history is business management will here I rehearsing. Williams is no business manager and his occupation require it. His effort as a lone proved it. To have continued in some old way by having Mr. Shipp it the play to suit himself and see Williams in it, and to have placed Shipp in full charge of the interior management and to have used Mr. Shipp's judgment in the executive management would have won for Williams the success to which his fame is entitled. If such an alliance could be brought to bear effectively between Mr. William, Mrs. Walker, and Mr. Shipp and taken in hand by Manager gfield, Jr., and placed into first class centers, such as Mr. Williams is now pearling, the American public would be more have what they have longed another big colored musical come- dy affair. There is perhaps nothing in two reports which came from Baltimore, one to the effect that Williams will star with Anna Held in "Folles of 1911," and another to the effect that Williams said in a dinner speech: "I will pursue more of the work with which I am more familiar." There is no way to figure that Williams will be anything more than a more subordinated actor in the cast if he supports Anna Held. But what the public want is Williams and Walker, because such an alliance is known to be possible. And let us hope that Manager Ziegfeld will make up his mind to clinch the deal. Fine Bill at the New Grand Theater. The New Grand Theater presented an excellent bill last Monday evening. The program presented Mitchell and Brady, in a fine singing and dancing specialty. Lucretia Knox sang excellently. Joe Bankster and company, in Old Lang Syne (white), was good. The Clark's, in a very entertaining sketch, made a bit, as did Shelton Brooks in a monologue-pianologue. The Martin & Maximillian (white) burlesque illusionists, wore unique and gave a generous amount of humor. Good Bill at the Monogram. Quite an abundance of satisfaction was expressed at the Monogram in a bill that offered quite a variety of good things. Minor and Roper was a new team and the work of both performers was very good. The Prince triomade its first appearance with Sandifer, a clever comedian, and made good. The Gilmore Trio was among other features on the bill. Honey Bunch Minstrels at the Baby Grand "Deacon Jackson's Birthday" was the attraction at the Baby Grand, with Simms and Thompson and a good supporting company of pretty girls, including a comedian. . . . Mrs. Francis Murphy, wife of Bert Murphy, was suddenly called to her home at Williamsbridge, N. Y., on receipt of a telegram stating that her mother was dying. --- The Harry Kraton Trio slipped quietly into the city and opened at the American Musical Hall. This is their first appearance since their return from Europe. Chas, Beechum opens with Wallace & Hagenback's Circus, at Peru, Ind., April 20th. Billy B. Johnson, the big-time vaudeville star, now in Chicago, states that a team under the name of the two Johnson's playing in the south is not the original and is a misrepresentation. --- Irvin Miller and Cliff Green will go on a circuit tour, opening at Cincinnati Pekin Theater, April 24th, with Louisville, Ky., May 1st, Nashville, Tennessee, May 8th, Memphis, May 15th, St. Louis, May 23nd, and Kansas City to follow. They will be known as the Lasses Candy Kids. --- Bert Murphy played in a little pool tournament against George Reeves and Miles Harris at the Alexin last Tuesday night, but was called away to attend a C. V. B. A. meeting. . . . It is said that Pauline Dempsey's speech at the Columbia Theater won the applause and hearty approval of the ladies. She said: "Ladies, I refuse to come back to do another stunt until all the men are made to leave the house, as I am drawing the color line." The men also screamed. . . . The Carolina Four will leave for the East immediately. The members are Fred Davis, Philip Johnson, Clarence Chase and Thos. Johnson. * * * The Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association is to have a gigantic testimonial ball, which will take place at the Coliseum Annex, Wabash avenue and Fifteenth street, Monday evening, April 24th. The music will be by the Eighth Regiment Orchestra. There will be a large crowd of professional people present. The reception committee will be made up of the following members of the C. V. B. A. Will C. Elkins, Bert Murphy, Green Henry Tomp, Tom Flechet, Sanford McKissick, Allie Gillain, Sylvester Russell and Marcellius Mason. Large crowds from out of the city are also expected. Lost Paradise at the Pekin. The Howard Amusement Company, presenting Lorin J. Howard, in "Lost Paradise," opened at the Pekin Theater to a good-sized audience. The play which is by David Belasco and H. C. DeMille, was one of factory life and full of human interest. Capital and labor serve as a theme to unravel a love story that was found to be in the capable hands of Lorin J. Howard, the star, and an actor who is endowed by nature to fit the exacting character of the intervention. Miss Irene Witt, a handsome blond, as the pearl of great price and the daughter of the owner of the mill, is *almost* exacting and intelligent figure dramatically. Neil McLeod, the owner, was good, but Col. J. Uhl was less interesting. Lyllan Leighton was a most clever soubret, and Ellenearn Franklin a good actress. Teresa Bulloch was charming and reminded us of Lottie Grady. Others in the case were Loraine Sammons, Norman W. Merrill, Horace V. Noble, Robert Burrill, Arth Wellington, Wm. Thompson, Geo. Salisbury, Herbert Ashton. Judging from the fine quality of instructive drama, I am positive that the Pekin will continue to draw large audiences. The colored people may as well see a good white show at the Pekin as to go down town, so long as they are up to the high standard of the present company. Among the Cannibals. "In my most successful novel," said Upton Stinlair, at a vegetarian banquet in New York. "I aimed at the public's heart and hit it, with my beef talk, in the stomach. "I was rather like the Bangala missionary, who said: "I failed, alas, to bring tears to those cannibals' eyes, but at least I made their mouths water." CLARENCE, POWELL OF THE GEORIA MINSTRELS, PRAISES - HIS FORMER FRIEND AND BENEFACTOR. In a recent interview given out through the Denison, Texas, news service, Clarence Powell, who was discovered and aided toward success by Sylvester Russell, said in part: "Russell is the race's foremost critic, without a doubt. He is harsh in his criticisms sometimes, but I think he usually tries to be fair. What commends him to me is, that he no pets. He has done much good. No one will deny W. W. Clarence Powell, that." The Georgia Minstrels, in which Clarence Powell and Billy King are the stars, has had a prosperous season on the Pacific coast, and is now playing through the south. THE ORCHESTRA Frank Clermonto. All the members and friends of Frank Clermonto will be deeply grieved to learn that the popular young actor and musician has been stricken with paralysis. He is at present unable to use his limbs and is also a nervous wreck. He is a prominent member of the colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association and is supplied with a good nurse and a doctor and his faithful wife, Etta Miuer. Letters From Friends. New York, March 17, 1911. My Dear Friend Frank.—While at work here in the city I did not know that you all had arrived and neither that you were so suddenly stricken with paralysis. I will be down immediately after the snow, Matt and I. Don't worry about nothing, Inclosed find my check for twenty-five dollars. Cheer up now, dad. RALPH NICOLAS. Mr. Chas. H. Brady of the Musical Spiller also sent a letter of sympathy and twenty dollars. Modern Method. "My books are in a very bad shape," said the high financier. "Shall I send for an expert accountant?" inquired the confidential man. "No. Send for an alienist." LOYALTY OF AFRICAN NATIVE He Had Been One of Livingstone's Boys and Preferred to Die by His Load. While journeying through central Africa once, after several days of severe marching, the men of Alfred J. Swann's caravan failed to reach camp. He returned to them with water and assistance, and finding the carts with only half their crew, he asked where the heavy load was, and they replied, "Miles behind." It was on this journey that he witnessed a remarkable instance of the endurance and loyalty of a black man. Fearing the men would be starved, writes Mr. Swann in "Fighting the Slave-Hunters in Central Africa," we pressed on toward them, and finally discovered the load drawn up under a bush. Searching-round for traces of the crew, I heard a voice faintly call out: "I am alive, but give me water!" On looking into the bush, we discovered the leader, sheltered from the sun, and after giving him water, I asked: "Where are the others?" "Gone on to camp," he replied, "for food and water." "Why did you not go?" "No, master, I could not leave the boat section. My name is Mahaubahu. I was one of Livingstone's boys. I should have died by the load. I cut off the hide lashings and ate them, and the roots I dug up and sucked for moisture." Let no man question, concludes Mr. Swann, the ability of black men to perform loyal service after evidence of such heroic conduct.—Youth's Companion. The Sporting World Ilia Vincent, the world's champion trans-Atlantic Negro wrestler, is anxious to get a match with William Demetral. Vincecat and his manager visited the American office a few days ago ready to post a forfeit. William Watkins, the local middleweight, who fought Cleve, Hawkins, the Eastern boxer, ten rounds to a draw, is out for a challenge to any man in the middleweight class. Vincent meets Piestina tonight, at Odd Fellows Hall, to a finish. Sampson and the Mysterious Ice Man are also on the bill. President Allston, of the Douglas Center Athletic club, will manage, and Kid Mondy, the athletic trainer, is expected to be present. Reid Thomas is one of the promoters. J. Arthur (Jack) Johnson will soon breathe the free air again. Confinement has no doubt been a great lesson to him and is looked upon as a favorable logomatrix for the hope of the white race. More than ten days was a most unjust sentence and prejudice was the cause for it, if we are to judge from the fact that wealthy men like Johnson have always escaped the prison penalty with an increased fine. At the Annual spring meet recently, Theodore Cable, a colored student of Harvard University, won the 16-pound hammer throw with a heave of 144 feet and 10 inches, and is regarded as a sure winner in all the meets this spring up to the inter-collegates, when the students figure his chances for first are good, as he is looked upon by the university coaches as the most promising of the new material developed this year. WHY LOANS ARE NOT LENT Nowadays the Exchange is Not to Relieve the Necessitous and the Improvident. Why is it banking houses always "loan" their huge sums of money, never by any chance "lend" them? "Lend" is the true verb, then "loan" was exclusively the noun. How came it about that "to loan" has uniformly supplanted "to lend"? The pursists make a great fuss about this. They insist that the stupid and unaught financial world has folstored upon the language a substantive verb when no new verb was needed; when the ancient and established usage was fixed in the signification of "to lend" to the modern development of business when money was lent it was bestowed upon the borrower either for temporary use without compensation, as a mark of favor or patronage, or by the professional money lender who taking ad- vantage of petitions in extremities of need, demanded insurious interest. This Anglo-Saxon verb today retains its ancient connotation. When it was coloured the productive powers of money were unknown, and the wealth of rich men was locked up for safety and kept out of the channels of commerce. Nowadays, by devices of credit and rapid intercommunication, it is kept constantly working in productive enterprises. Immense loans are made, no longer to relieve the necessitous and the improvident, but to stimulate 'industry' and to enable the borrower as well as the loaner to reap a profit in his transactions. Money is "joaned" in this sense. It is not lent. Jumped Beacon Foot "Any news down my way?" repeated the farmer, as he stopped his team and bit a chew off his plug. "Well, I kin give you a leetle bit, I guess. It hain't earthquakes nor cyclones, but it does purty well for our place." "Well?" queried the tollgate man. "Well, the news is that Jim William's wife canary bird got out of the page the other day and she had to chase it more'n two hours to get it back." "That isn't much news." "Nope, I spose not, but I was saving the best for the last." "And what is it?" "Why, a tin pedler came along and bet Joe Harkins that he could扑ump him, and Joe held his breath and jumped seven feet and won the bet, and it's already settled that we are to run him for the legislature next fall." Antipollution of Tobacco The idea that tobacco has only been known in Europe since the discovery of America is incorrect. In fact, the Medes and Persians a long time before our era smoked nargiles, as ancient scriptures prove. A philologist has suggested that the Greeks and Romans smoked tobacco at least in their colonies. In the Malay archipelago the use of cigars and cigarettes is said to date much further back than the discovery of America. The word "cigar" seems to show that man's solace and comfort did not originate in the West Indies, but is most likely derived from "sakara," an Arab word meaning smoke. Among the Cannibals "In my most successful novel," said Upton Sinclair, at a vegetarian banquet in New York, "I almed at the public's heart and hit it, with my beef talk, in the stomach. To Save Time. He simply couldn't help it. He was born lazy. As a rule, if not sleepy, he could get through a shave in about 35 minutes. But today, after only 14 hours' sleep, he appeared even more sluggish than ever. As he applied the lather to his customer's beard, his brush lingered hallingly, as though loath to leave the stubby chin to which it was being applied. The customer was a patient man, and stood this for a considerable while. But at last his patience began to ooze, and he interrupted a 40 winks' interval with a cough. "S're, lad," he suggested. "Aa've an idea. Haud your hand, keep the brush still, an' Aa'll wag ma head for ye!" Good Christian. One of those young women who takes the world and themselves so seriously that they lapse, at times, into a compose mental state was in a department store making a small purchase and, as the saleswoman was writing out a slip, proffered a dollar bill. "What denomination?" inquired the saleswoman, without glancing up. "Episcopallan." admitted the young woman on the other side of the counter, suddenly brought back to the department store from her mental wandering in other lands. Caught the Lion's Exe A middle aged man stopped in front of one of the lion cages in the Central park menagerie and gazed intently at the head of the old animal that was lying down near the iron bars, prefaces the New York Sun. After keeping his eyes on the inmate of the cage for several minutes he made passes with his hand toward it. The Lion's head gradually went down onto his paws and he appeared to be asleep. "Great is science!" the visitor said. "The books say one can hypnotize any wild beast if near enough to hold his eye while casting the spell, and I have succeeded." "Hypnotize nothing! That old lion has been blind in his near eye for years," the keeper said. Killey's Colored Mammoth, Matchless, Magnificent, Mastodon, Genuine Col- ored Mininatrels. Director T. F. Kelley. Per.

"I am glad to see, anyhow, that you sym- utiise with the under dog in warbarous fight." npathise with 'em? Gosh, mis- a money, I've got up on that Positively Recommended as Magic Preventive for Avoiding Winter Colds and Other Ills. Air baths are the latest prescription for the seeker after health. These are positively recommended as a magic preventive for avoiding winter colds. At first they may seem too difficult of accomplishment, but if one will only try one will see how astonishing the results are. And the beauty of this magic air bath is that it is simplicity itself. There is no cumbersome apparatus, no tiresome visits of the masseur, no pounding and punching of an inoffensive body. One merely has to lie still and allow gentle breezes to blow upon the body. If it is begun in time it will enable one to defy the winter cough and cold, bronchitis and neuralgia. One need only expose the skin, so the enthusiasts say, to the air for 15 to 20 minutes, a half-hour or an hour, night and morning, to annihilate the horrid cold germs which are everywhere, ready to seize upon any one who gets a chill, and so lays herself open to attack. Hence the danger of draughts and wet feet. Our usual habits give the skin no opportunity of hardening itself. It is treated like a hothouse plant. We cover it every moment. If one would indulge in the benefient air bath one must spend 20 minutes before retiring without one's clothing. These measures alone constitute an effective air bath, and will lessen the sensitivity of the skin and liability to cold in a few days' time. A more elaborate way for taking the air bath is recommended by a noted physician. Select the sunnest room in the house. If the window is overlooked by neighboring houses place a low screen before it. Then undress, wrap yourself in a sheet and blanket and lie on the floor in the sunshine. After a time, as one grows warm, unwrap the blanket, then the sheet and remain lying in the sun so long as it feels comfortable. But at the first feeling of discomfort or the slightest twings of headache stop the sun bath. Then rub yourself down with a towel, or in the case of a healthy person finish with a cold water bath. If any one wishes it a very thin robe may be worn, and the feet may always be protected by slippers. Freak Labels for Women. Extremists in fashionable whims are trying to introduce here the fad of wearing the name on the gown—not hidden in the lining, but in plain sight. The frankness, however, is to be concealed in a way, for the name will be readable only to those who know where to look. If a woman's name is Lucy she may wear a jewelled L at her throat, a U at the yoke line, a C a little lower and a Y at the belt. Those who have adopted the idea take advantage of the initial jewelry that is on sale in the modish shops. A woman can buy letters of many different kinds, each, however, a form of jewelry, and decorate herself with her full name. One society leader whose name is Rose has an R on her brooch, an O on the pendant, an S on the bracelet and an E on a ring. Others spell their names on their hats, but in letters so small and so far apart that they are not evident to a casual glance. How Choate Reads Hla Mall. Joseph H. Chote, formerly ambassador to the Court of St. James, is one of the eminent Americans who do not believe in the maxim "Procrastination is the thief of time." Frequently when Mr. Chote is absent from New York his mall accumulates at his office. It is seldom forwarded to him. On his return the letters piled up before him are opened, while Mr. Chote, sitting in a comfortable arm chair with a capacious waste basket between his knees, reads the letters as they are handed to him. Some of them are weeks old. Some of them he deattroys with the comment "Time has answered" and so on through the great mass of mail. Mr. Chote constantly repeats this phrase, "Time has answered that." Only the most important letters receive an answer from Mr. Chote. A Gllmpse of Apponvl. Count Apponyi, who arrived here yesterday is a man of striking appearance. As he stood in the doorway of the Kronprins Wilhelm's saloon last night he had to stoop so that the top of his head would not collide with the lintel. He owes to a little more than six feet four inches and his bearing is stiffly military. He wears a spade beard, like that of the late King Leopold of Belgium. The court's beard and hair are gray, for he is a man in his sixteens. He has an unusually prominent nose, behind which are very deep-set gray eyes. Had he worn a steel casque and a cullress for an overcoat Count Apponyi would have been another Charles V. of Velasquez.—New York Sun. Wealth Awalts Inventor One-seventh of the entire area of Ireland consists of bog lands—one bog alone, the bog of Allen, has an area of 240 square miles. This immense area is at present a sterile waste, but it will become a source of great wealth as soon as a method has been found for converting peat into an economical and desirable commercial fuel. Brquets of compressed peat are all right as long as they are kept absolutely dry, but the least moisture causes them to crumble to pieces. A New Definition "What is naturalization?" asked the high school teacher. "Naturalization," said the captain of the baseball team, slowly, "why, naturalisation is making a person who was born somewhere else a native of the country he's living in."—Youth's Companion. Extraordinary Less. "So you lost in that electrical illuminating venture?" "Yes, I lost a great deal." "Strange, wasn't it, to meet with a heavy loss in a light investment." BELATED HAPPINESS "Engaged to Martha Tyler? Mrs. Ward gasped when her brother announced the interesting news to her. "Why, it's the most absurd thing I ever heard of." At this rather unusual form of congratulation her brother Leonard laughed. "On the principle that there's no fool like an old fool?" he inquired. "Well, since we're in for adages, a one might say. I prefer it's never too late to mend. And, joking aside, I'm surely the luckest fellow in the world to have the finest and best girl in the world saved for me all this time. I can hardly believe it's true." From that moment his sister always said, he never had a glimmer of intelligence until after the wedding. The affair had developed with remarkable suddenness while Leonard was passing the holidays with his sister, Leonard and Martha Tyler had known each other from childhood. So there was more than one covert smile and sarcastic comment when, after going east and remaining for a year Leonard returned and, at the ripe age of forty-five, fell desperately in love with Martha, aged forty. Leonard came west again a week before the wedding—another evidence of insanity, his sister said. The day before the wedding he and Martha disappeared as completely as if the earth had swallowed them up. It was ten o'clock that morning before Mrs. Ward realized that her brother had left the house without informing anybody as to his intentions. She called up Martha's sister, with whom Martha had made her home, and asked if Leonard were there. The two had gone out together some time before. "Didn't they say anything about getting a license?" inquired Mrs. Ward. Martha's sister was sure that nothing of the sort had been said in her presence. Mrs. Ward hung up the telephone receiver and then gave herself up to the hopeless process of trying to convince herself that James couldn't have been such an idiot as to forget the marriage license. At eleven o'clock that night Leonard wandered in, happy and without the license. To do him justice, he was quite as much disturbed as the most exacting sister could have wished when he was told that there would be barely time in the morning for them to go down and get it and return for the ceremony. He rose bright and early the next morning and seemed so alive to the seriousness of the occasion that his sister allowed him to leave the house without any misgivings as to what he might do while away. However, as time passed and he did not return, her serenity deserted her. She fidgeted uncomfortably for 15 minutes or so, then called up Martha's home. She was informed by the maid who answered the telephone that Leonard had just left the house. A subsequent short interview with Martha's sister revealed the fact that Martha and Leonard only a few moments before, when both their toilets should have been well on the way to completion, had been found reading poetry in the library. "He certainly is crazy," said Leonard's sister, almost in a tone of awe. "Not a bit more crazy than she is," said Martha's sister. Fifteen minutes after Leonard had returned home and then had disappeared into his own room, with strict instructions from his sister not to do any more foolish things until after he was married. Mrs. Ward heard a meek voice calling from the hall. "Carrie," the voice was saying, "I wonder if you could help me." Mrs. Ward went to the door of her room and looked out. In the hall, looking thinner and more forlorn than she had any idea he could look, stood her brother. In one hand he held a small jar about half full of some sort of yellowish, greasy concoction, in the other an uncomfortable looking towel. With the towel he now and then gave futile dabs at his face, down which was sliding in slippery streams the other half of the contents of the jar, mingled with slippery brooklets of soapy water. "What is it?" he asked, forlornly. "I thought it—it was a shampoo, but it seems so queer." Mrs. Ward snatched the far out of his hand. "Why, you great idiot." she said, with more force than politeness, "it's goosegrass! It's appropriate enough. I'm sure." For a minute she gave herself up to the joy of contemplating him. Then, she took him firmly by the arm and led him back to the bathroom, where she soaped him and stood him on his head in the washbowl and rinsed him and then began the process all over again. Within half an hour of the time set for the wedding she pronounced him sufficiently cleaned. Some time later, just after embracing the bridegroom, who looked so rare that he might have been called raw, Mrs. Ward turned to the bride. "Martha," she said, "I've always thought that I'd hate to give Leonard up to anybody, but after this last week I've changed my mind. I have enough natural affection left to hope that you'll be kind to him, but, even if I knew you'd beat him, I'd be glad to turn him over to you. You're more than welcome to him." A Hard Road to Travel. A drunken man, whom a friend was trying to bring to his home some miles away, was constantly crossing from one side of the road to the other, so his friend said to him: "Come on, Pat, come on; the road is long." "I know it is long" said Pat; "but it isn't the length of it, but the breadth of it that's killing me."—Le Fannie's "Irish Life." Harsh Demand. One only need be a man to give up to a friend when he is wrong, but he must be a hero who will give in to his wife when he is right. FOR SALE BY W.H. BOWERS & CO. WHY PAY RENT!!

While here they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Lawrence, 3302 Rhodes avenue. Mr. and Mrs. Buckner, 6506 St. Lawrence avenue, returned to the city last week after a successful concert tour. After a rest-up, Mrs. Neale Buckner and Mr. and Mrs. Ed Atkinson will begin a recital tour of the West as far as the coast. "Give me Douglas 5481, Central." "Drop a nickel, then."

Among the features of the parade in honor of Alderman Albert R. Tearney, Monday evening, as an escort to the city hall, was Col. Wm. R. Cowan, who joined the paraders at 35th street and walked to the city hall. Cowan said he was so pleased over the results of the defeat of Foreman that he was willing to do anything in order to show his disregard for the man who had no regard for his, Cowan's, race of people. On account of the amateur minstrel show, of which Mr. Avendorph is a member, he had to forego the pleasure of being in the parade with his friend, Ald. Tearney, on Monday evening, at the inauguration. Mr. H. Mosely, of St. Louis, Mo., spent Sunday in the city with friends. Mr. A. A. Wells is still sojourning in California.

The musical and literary contest at Wayman Chapel, by the People's Sunday Club, Monday evening, April 17, 1911, the house was full and everybody enjoyed the program and wished it was longer. Friday evening, April 21, the greatest Women band in Chicago will give a sacred concert at Wayman Chapel, for the trustees. The churches were full all day with worshipers. At Wayman Chapel, at 2 o'clock, the Sunday School children had their exercises. They did their best. Teachers and superintendent were well repaid for their labor. At 3 o'clock Holy communion, christening and baptising was well attended. The special song service by Prof. E. B. Johnson, organist of the church, was at 8 o'clock. He gave one of the finest song recitals we have ever heard on the North Side in years. Five hundred and forty dollars reported from the rally. The W, C, P, S. Club continued the topic for discussion, "Shall Women Vote?" as there was not enough time for all the speakers. THE AMATEUR MINSTREL CLUB'S SECOND SHOW AND DANCE A SUCCESS. By the Man Around Town. The Amateur Minstrel Club gave its second minstrel show and dance last Monday evening, April 17, at Oakland Music Hall for the benefit of the Old Folks' Home and Amanda Smith Home. The affair proved a success, but for some unknown reason it was not the success it was last year. Nevertheless, the crowd was of Chicago's best people. A number of new faces were recognized among the members. The director, Mr. Waring, cannot be given too much credit for his work in arranging the program, and notwithstanding the professional features connected with the show, it did not prove as entertaining as the show was last year. Isaac Dunlap, D. G. Smith and Dave Lawrence all sang nicely. Mr. Oval Cooper well deserved the ovation he got, as he has a fine tenor voice. Will Carroll, as interlocutor, would have made a better impression had he familiarized himself with men's jokes, and added a little more dignity to the position. Mr. Childress, whose professional experience, together with his dancing, caused him to get quite an ovation, but his work as an end man was not up to the standard. Howard Cornwell had a spell of nervousness while singing his song. Joseph Shoecraft and J. N. Avendorph were, as usual, fine, and showed that they were in a class by themselves as endmen. Mr. Avendorph's handling of the tambo gives him the best of it. Mr. Waring again showed his ability in his arrangement of the closing piece, which was rather amusing. Messrs. Dunlap, Carroll, Childress, Cornwell and Horsley made a hit in their parts. Mr. Avendorph's specialty, "English as You See it on Broadway," was a clever piece of work, and it was a bigger hit than ever before. Penguln Egg Industry About 600,000 penguin eggs are gathered from nearby islands and sold for food in Cape Colony each year. BINDY AND THE MAY BASKET BINDY AND THE MAY BASKET By SUSANNE GLENN "I know as well as I need to, it is just a waste of time looking for that nest!" exclaimed Mrs. Day, energetically tying on her calico sunbonnet. "But I like to be fair about things, Anna Louise! So I'm going over the ground once more." "If I don't find it today, I shall know what has become of them turkey eggs without being told!" "Do you call that being fair?" asked the girl, pausing in her task of putting the shining dishes in the cupboard. "I should not consider it fair to place the doings of an irresponsible old turkey above those of a man who has always proved himself honest and honorable!" Mrs. Day looked at her daughter's flushed face with displeasure. "He's a Dennison, Anna Louise," she answered, sharply, "and that is enough for me. A family that will cheat about a line fence isn't above taking eggs, I guess! Beside, Blindy is not irresponsible—she has hid her nest in them cedars four years, hand running, and I've found her out every time." "But it was Nic's father who had the line fence changed, mother," persisted the girl spirtedly, "and he has been dead for four years. Besides, the lawyers decided, if you remember, that Mr. Dennison was right about it anyway." "Shows how much the lawyers knew," snapped the older woman impatiently. "Anna Louise, some times I regret that we sent you away to school if it is going to give you the impression that you know more than your parents. Don't think you under stand turkeys better than your mother does!" "And Anna Louise," Mrs. Day ap proached the table, and leaned over it toward the girl, "I heard Niel Dennson out at the gate with you Sunday night after meeting. I shook for fear your father would find it out. "I've never mentioned this, and I don't mean to, if it never, hangens A woman in a long dress is reaching out to a boy in a hat. They are standing behind a fence with climbing plants. The sky is filled with clouds and a sun is visible in the background. "No, I Cannot Come In, Nlc." again. But don't you think for a minute that we will ever consent to a Dennison for our only daughter!" Mrs. Day flashed out of the house before the indignant only daughter could reply and stalked rigidly down the lane, every muscle tense in her determination not to surrender to "Dennison." Anna Louise closed the cupboard doors sharply, and walked to the window to watch her mother out of sight. In the garden across the fence Nicholas Dennison was pottering among his berry bushes. "I think I had better go over and have a talk before I forbidden to speak to him," she said aloud, hanging her big apron on its accustomed book. "Oh, that annoying old turkey! To think this ridiculous affair should come up just as father and mother were becoming reconciled to Nlc." Nicholas Dennison dropped his pruning knife and hastened to the little gate when he saw the girl approaching. "No," I cannot come in, Nic," she protested, holding the gate shut with both hands, "they might see me over here, and it would only make things more unpleasant. "I'm so sorry to tell you, but—you must have nothing more to do with me! Mother heard us at the gate the other evening. "And she has gone down to the cedars for a last look for the eggs! It is perfectly ridiculous; but what can I do?" The young man put his hands protectingly over the trembling little hands on the gate. "You are asking a pretty hard thing of me all round, Anna Louise," he said tenderly. "When a fellow feels about a girl the way I do about you, it is a lot easier to tell him to keep away from her then it is for him to do it!" "I've dreamed all winter about having you here for good, by this time, dear. It is pretty lonesome with only old Betsy for company. And you would be so near your father and mother that they could scarcely miss you!" The girl smiled unsteadily. "I would be as far from them then, as I am from you now!" she returned gently. "You would be their daughter always," he persisted, "and now you are trying to have me consent to your being nothing to me. Do you think that is quite fair to me, Anna Louise?" "I think we are not fair to you," she said very sadly, "that is what troubles me, Nic. If only I knew what I ought to do—oh, there comes mother—I must run!" But he held her hands determinedly in his own. "Don't you worry about this, sweet. heart," he whispered. "I'll fix it up somehow. Do you suppose I shall lie a strutting old turkey cheat me out of my wife?" In full view of the advancing sunbonnet he bent over the low gate and kissed her. That evening, while Mrs. Day re counted to her husband the events of the afternoon, while the obdurate Bindy shuffled on the limb of a cherry tree, and while Anna Louise cried cried courageed tears into her pillow, Nic Dennison talked long with old Betsy in the big kitchen. "You can have them by tomorrow night?" he inquired, anxiously. "No trouble at all!" declared the old woman cheerfully. "And you are sure all turkey eggs look alike!" "As alike as two peas!" she chuckled, positively. Next evening a disconsolate family group occupied the Day sitting room. "It is not use for you to ask me to give up Nic because Blindy did not happen to lay her eggs where you expected her to," declared Anna Louise tearfully, yet resolutely. "If Nic had really done anything dishonorable, I should try to be dutiful. But this is such a pretense, and so entirely aburd!" "You mean that you will marry him in defiance of our wishes?" demanded her father. "Oh, hush, both of you," cried Mrs Day in distress, as a knock sounded upon the door. Upon opening the door, after a momentary hesitation, Nic Dennison him self strode into the room, and placed carefully upon the table a weather beaten, handleless old rush basket. "Here is a May basket for you, Mrs Day," he said cheerfully, "from-Bindy, I should judge by its appearance. Everyone looked curiously into the basket. In a nest of scattering dead grasses lay a great pile of—turkey eggs! Mrs. Day gasped in displeased astonishment. Although she had searched conscientiously, she had secretly hoped they would not find Bindy's nest. It was a balm to her conscience to believe Nicholas Dennison was unworthy of their confidence. "Where," she demanded accusingly "did you find them eggs?" "I was coming up my lane this evening, past that patch of berry bushes in your meadow, when I heard a dog whining. Following the sound, I found it was Frick's little bird dog fallen into that rock-hole just over the fence. While crushing about trying to locate him I came upon this basket just as you see it. I judged it might possibly be Bindy's stolen nest." "It's a mighty queer thing she'd lay her eggs in a basket, all ready for you to bring home," said Mr. Day, cuttingly. "That is my own basket, John, interrupted his wife in milder tones, and I remember distinctly how it came to be there! I was on my way to the lower garden after peas the day the traction engine set fire to our milk house. When I saw the smoke, I just flung the basket and ran, and I have never thought of it since. "Isn't it just like Bindy to find that basket and make her nest in it?" Mrs. Day finished with pleased pride. "She always was the smartest turkey!" "And now, good people," continued the young man determinedly, "there is another matter of even greater importance to me than turkey eggs." With a smile he took the unresistingly hands of Anna Louise in his own slipped c. ring upon her finger, and kissed her. "We are going to be married tomorrow. But we will generously leave the details for you to decide!" "She won't be far from home, that is one comfort," said Mrs. Day meekly. "You'd better take these eggs along home with you when you go, Nic." I marked Mr. Day gruntly. "Anna Louise will want some." A few weeks later Anna Louise and her husband were contentedly inspecting their brood of newly hatched turkeys. "Mother says Bindy's eggs always turned out well," remarked Mrs. Den nelson complacently. "There comes Bindy now, up from the cedars, and—why, Nic, look!" Trailing behind her was a brood of miniature turkeys. "Why I never thought of—" began the honorable young man. Then he smiled guiltily beneath his wife's accusing look. "Well, don't that beat the Dutch!" he finished. The United States House of Representatives, whose members have been enlivening an all-night sitting with the comic songs, is not well adapted for musical performances. "So bad are the acoustics," writes Goldwin Smith, "and so incessant is the noise of talking, moving about, slamming desks and calling pages that hardly any speaker can be heard. It is a babel with a gavel accompaniment. Order there is none. I have seen a number of members leave their places and group themselves, standing round a speaker whom they particularly wanted to hear." Speaker Reed's stentorian voice played over this dim. So did that of W. J. Bryan. A voice of thunder is almost a condition of political eminence in the United States. No ordinary voice will fill the house of representatives or a convention hall."—London Chronicle. Japan's Historical Record.

FORSYTH'S DRUG STO THE RELIABLE PRESCRIPTION STORE We Have a Quarter of a Million Prescriptions on File. That Have Been Filled on this Corner Nowadays the Exchange is Not to Relieve the Necesitous and the Improvident. Why is it banking houses always "loan" their huge sums of money, never by any chance "lend" them? "Lend" is the true verb, while "loan" was exclusively the noun. How came it about that "to loan" has uniformly sumpled "to lend?" The purists make a great fuss about this. They insist that the stupid and untaught financial world has foiled upon the language a substantive verb when no new verb was needed; when the ancient and established usage was fixed in the signification of "to lend." But prior to the modern development of business enterprise, when money was lent it was bestowed upon the borrower either for temporary use without compensation, as a mark of favor or patronage, or by the professional money lender who, taking advantage of persons in extremities of need, demanded usurious interest. This Anglo-Saxon verb today retains its ancient connotation. When it was coined the productive powers of money were unknown, and the wealth of rich men was locked up for safety and kept out of the channels of commerce. Nowadays, by devices of credit and rapid intercommunication, it is kept constantly working in productive enterprises. Immense loans are made, no longer to relieve the necessitous and the improvident, but to stimulate industry and to enable the borrower as well as the loaner to reap a profit in his transactions. Money is "loaned" in this sense. It is not lent GOT THE MEAT HE DEMANDED Grumpy Man Wanted Restaurant Window Sample and the Paint on It Blistered. Stepping into a small restaurant, a grumpy old man demanded of the walter a certain piece of meat he had in the show window. "But," said the waiter, "we—" "No buts," replied the old man, "You bring me what I ask for, or I won't get anything here at all." Rather than lose a customer the waiter did as he was told, and, getting the piece of meat, took it back to be cooked. After a long wait the meat was brought to the customer, who, instead of thanking the waiter, said: "Look here, you man, what is the matter with this meat?" "Nothing is the matter with it, sir, except that the paint on it has formed a few blisters from the heat." "Why, what do you mean by that?" asked the old man. "Simply this," replied the waiter. "Those pieces of meat you saw in the window were not made to eat. They were made for advertising purposes, but you insisted, sir, upon having one Lady Tennant Argues Little Ones Need Sustenance for Their Thoughts and Fancies. "Let children have fairy tales," urges Lady Tennant in the London Times, on the ground that early childhood does not need instruction so much as shape and sustenance for its own thoughts and fancies. It is through the old stories and the works of great writers, she thinks, that children can best be put in possession of the freedom, which, in the words of Jean Paul Richter, makes them citizens of the divine city of Romance. Reading aloud to children she regards as of far-reaching importance. There is the instance of a child of five years who has been hearing with absorbing interest the story of Joseph and his brethren. Some days after he was telling his mother a story and with glowing eyes he said: "And dreaming, I saw a king's throne, and the king's servant standing beside the throne." It was not difficult to trace the source of the impression that had led him to cloth his thoughts in such language. Let the children have the old books read to them. There will come days when they will prefer to read an excellent modern detective story, or to buy a magazine. We must remind ourselves that possibly they would be prigs if they did otherwise; nor should we, I think, on any account check reading of any kind. But in the early days when they are still being read to, when they are so young that it lies in the mother's choice what they shall be hearing, then, I say, let them hear the old books, or, if the choice fall on books of later date, let them be the works of great writers.

"What will we do with the people Easter if they could not find seats in Ebenezer Palm Sunday?" is the question nearly every one is asking who was at the services last Sunday at Ebenezer. From the far north to Wilson avenue on the south the people came Sunday, and at the morning hour there was not a seat in the spacious auditorium, and at night the gallery was filled and every seat around the altar. Mr. J. D. Smith says no one need tell him anything, the pastor preached the very best sermon he ever preached in his life. At 11 o'clock Miss Mamle Pressley sang "The Palms," to the delight of the large audience, and one person united with the church. The Bulletin, in its new dress, with a ten-page edition, running the cuts of the pastor and wife, made a decided hit with the people who worshiped at Ebenezer Sunday. Sunday will be a day of bables, birds and flowers at Ebenezer. The pastor will preach at 11 o'clock from the subject: "Christ, Our Passover," The choir will sing "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth" and "Christ the Lord is Risen." Madam Todd, who for some years traveled with the Hand Concert Company, will sing "Jerusalem" at Ebenecer Sunday night. The choir will sing "The Crucifixion." The fair, which was so well attended last week, netted the ladies nearly $400 cash. Mrs. Martha Twiggs leads the ladies with her committee in bringing the largest amount of money. Mrs. W. T. Mason, though very sick, under the care of a physician most of the time, came in a close second in money raising. Commanding her forces from a sick room, accomplishing what she did, it is conceded by all that had she been well she would have won the first place. In the contest among the young girls, voting for the most popular one in Evanston, Miss Viola Williams ran ahead of her competitors, and was awarded a most beautiful vase. Miss Viola is a most charming young belle and wears her fame with much modesty. Miss Mary Zackery came second. She, too, was given a prize. In the contest for the beautiful brass bed, Mrs. Lizzie Kinecaid was the successful lady, having brought in the largest amount of money. Mrs. Graves says she never worked with a better committee of ladies than those who made the fair so successful. The reporter for the idea tried hard to see who had the most pleasant smile among the ladies who had charge of booths. Mesdames Luh Sherod, Cynthia Prather, Jennie Miller, Lizzie S. Cannon, Martha Ketechen and Lucy Heaters. Well, it would be hard to tell who was the happiest; they all just kept on smiling. As for Mrs. Manie Pollard, she is smiling yet. Some one said when they saw Mesdames Carrie Breckenridge and Helen Jackson figuring they were getting ready to raise the price on those aprons, and they just kept on figuring and the prices kept on soaring. ★ ★ ★ At the Institutional Church The Institutional day nursery is open Sundays from 11 a. m. to 1 p. m. for the convenience of mothers who may desire to worship at this church.

They arrived home about six o'clock, and the "Oh, my!!" "What a lovely time!" "So dear of you," etc. were heard on all sides. Mr. and Mrs. Griffin, as we all know, are royal entertainers and to accept an invitation from them always means a good jolly time. Mr. Harvey H. Walden is now stopping at 1100 Clark street. Mr. Walden expects to make a business trip to Michigan next week. Miss Ida R. Benton, 624 Church street, who was ill last week, is better at this writing.

Early Christians in New York City, The Methodists of New York city over a hundred years ago started their first organized charity. The record of this early venture is pres- erved in a volume in the library of the Methodist Historical society. On November 12, 1808, at a meeting held in the school at Worth and Hudson streets, the Assistance Society for Relieving and Advising Sick and Poor Persons in the City of New York was organized. The city was divided into districts. At first there were four, then five and six, till finally the num- ber became seven. These were called walks. In 1809 the distribution of food, clothing and fuel began. Catharine Graham of $1 Church street, to whom $1 was given, was the first to be added. During the war of 1812 the society purchased soup tickets from the Humane society at $3 a hundred, and distributed $9 loads of wood. In December, 1812, 3,499 "suffering individuals" were helped, and the total for the first four years was 28,000.— Survey. The Handy Home.

ROBBERY Robbers Get $2.50 Out of Cash Drawer Used for Expenses which Might Arise During Business Hours—Robbers Carry Deadly Weapons. POLICE LOOKOUT IS LAX. Many Stores in Neighborhood Robbed During Week—Dive Pool Rooms and Bar Rooms Full of Loafers. Sunday morning when the officers of the Y. M. C. A. went to their post of duty at 3330 State street they saw everything turned around; and the cash register which contained two dollars and fifty cents, wide open and the nest egg gone, they were so startled that they did not know what to do. Mr. Pierce called up the Central Y. M. C. A. and told of the loss and they immediately sent out a 5½-foot safe to put the valuable papers in, but all monies will be taken to the vaults at Central by Pinkerton detectives as usual, so that the gentlemen will only get their usual $2.50 should they try the trick again. They bored the panel out the back door with an auger and gained entrance. They overlooked a type writer worth $125 and an automatic press worth $250. We are glad these were not cultured or educated thieves. If they were the above machines would have been valuable to them. Mr. E. Young's Restaurant 'Robbed. On Wednesday night Mr. E. Young, 14 W. 35th street, these same gimbled thieves entered in the same way they did the Y. M. C. A. and took 14 pounds of pork and chops, ate or carried away 20 pies, took 8 dozo pigs feet; strange to say, out of 4 pounds of pig snoots they only took 1½ pounds. They left a note that they found everything they sold was first class and fresh; sorry they could not thank him in person; your $$ pants will be used for Easter. Grant & Macon Suffered Hard. Grant & Macon, who had just opened on Saturday two doors east of Young's, 10 W. 35th street, looked like a parrot and monkey had been in a fight there; $200 worth of goods were taken out, with a. note left: "Macon, we will smoke to your health all right," and they cleaned the newly established "Colored Republican headquarters" for fair. When Mr. Macon came to open up on Wednesday morning he saw some one one had opened up ahead of him, and in high "C" voice Mr. Macon exclaimed, "Well, sir! Now, now, what you think of this?" Mr. Young, who was passing, said, "they cleaned me, too, Dan." The funny thing is that a barber shop lies between the two places robbed and the members of the midnight prowlers did not even disturb the hot air which was shot their during the day. Parnell's grocery at 36th and Armour and the grocery at 35th and Dearborn were robbed four or five times during the last six weeks. If the police would visit a number of dive pool rooms and dives from State to 5th avenue they might apprehend the cause of such robberies in this neighborhood. There are over 300 men and boys in the neighborhood who will not work nor go to school. Wayman Chapel Notes. Easter day sermon by the pastor at 11 o'clock sharp on the great theme, "Resurrection."

Bank bills are merely printed promises of the bank or government issuing them, to pay the face value of the bill or note, on demand, in coin of the realm. If a bank bill, or bank note as it might well be called, should be destroyed, the holder of the destroyed bill is the loser, and the bank the gamer by reason of the fact that it would be relieved of the obligation to make good its promise to pay the face value of a note which no longer exists.

When our hatred is too bitter it places us below those whom we hate. -La Rochefoucauld. Showing That Men Are Brutes When the Thompsons came in from their brisk Sunday afternoon walk, cheerful and happy, Mrs. Thompson deposited her wonderful millinery creation on the table in the reception hall. Then she hastened into the kitchen to prepare one of her delightful Sunday evening suppers, which Thompson says are entirely without equals in the culinary line. Thompson removed his hat and coat and then wandered into the kitchen after his wife. He has a way of "tagging" her about the house. This is due partly to the fact that he is an abstractly social creature and partly to the strange circumstance that he has a particular predilection for his wife's society. Presently he drifted into the pantry and returned with a small yellow skinned onion in his hand. "What do you call this beautiful object?" he inquired facetiously. His wife considered this attempt at wittickness quite unworthy of notice. She merely instructed him to put the onion back where it belonged or he would be smelling like an onion patch. After dipping around into various things which he should have left alone, Thompson left the kitchen, still holding the onion in his hand. On his way to the living room he passed through the hall and there, spying the Sunday hat of Mrs. Thompson, he was moved to separate the feathers and other bijouterie which adorned it and to drop the recently acquired redolent root into the nest thus arranged. After this frisky deed he went into the living room and soon forgot his little joke. Owing to a series of domestic catalysms Mrs. Thompson dressed for the tea given by Mrs. Lawton—Mrs. Lawton was quite the most aristocratic person among Mrs. Thompson's acquaintances, so she was particularly anxious to make a good appearance, though she hated teas—in a good deal of a hurry. She entered the street car which would take her nearest her destination very much out of breath and with one glove still only part on. She was too much occupied with her glove for a few moments to be conscious of extraneous things, but presently her thoughts became less concentrated and she began to perceive a faint odor of onions in the air. She looked suspiciously at the woman who sat next to her and the woman who sat next to her looked suspiciously at her. Before long the other woman, sniffing the air with obvious intent, rose and took a seat as far away from Mrs. Thompson as possible. "Well," murmured Mrs. Thompson, indignantly to herself, "if people will soak themselves in onions they have to expect to be annoyed by the odor." However, she was somewhat surprised to realize in a few moments that, in spite of the departure of the woman the scent of onions still hung in the atmosphere. With a slight exclamation of annoyance she glanced sidewise at the woman on the other side of her and after a minute or so followed the example of the first woman. For a short time she seemed to have escaped the penetrating odor, but when the little breeze caused by her hasty movement had died down, the onion odor once more demanded her attention. It became so insistent that she breathed a sigh of relief when she reached her corner and left the car. She was having a fairly good time at the tea when the acquaintance with whom she had been talking suddenly put up a gloved hand and murmured behind it: "Truly, it is a horrible suspicion, but I am becoming more and more convinced every minute that our hostess is going to serve onions an naturale on this festive occasion." It was at this point that Mrs. Thompson began to feel distinctly uncomfortable. Just how she could shed an onion flavor everywhere she went she was totally unable to imagine, but if the odor had no connection with her, why did it follow her about so persistently? She was still turning this question over uneasily in her mind, when Mrs. Perkins, who lived two blocks from her, approached her and invited her to drive home with her in her electric runabout. When they had gone only a little distance Mrs. Perkins gave a sudden exclamation of disgust. "Do you smell onions?" she asked. "Mrs. Thompson sniffed faint heartedly. "I—believe I do," she murmured, meekly. "I do believe," concluded Mrs. Perkins, vehemently, "that our chauffour has been sleeping in the car!" She was in the depths of depression when Thompson reached home. Without delay she poured her tale of woe into his car. As she proceeded, his initial expression of indiscriminate sympathy became tinctured with understanding. Then the bright light of comprehension spread over his face, the corners of his mouth quivered with mirth and at the climax he gave vent to a shout of laughter. "Oh, my dear," he said when he was able to speak, "you certainly will kill me when I tell you." So he did tell her, but he was no longer laughing when he reached the end of his tale. In truth, he was obliged to address the latter part to her indignant back as she flew angrily up the stairs. The price of peace was a new hat, bigger and more wonderful than the one with the onion flavor. LAND OF LIBERTY AOR P J.C.S.
