This humor was so great it made the whole Senate laugh and they said: "Well, any man who knows how many dimes and nickels there are off-handedly, as you do, deserves the money, and we will give it to you for your hall." ```markdown ``` --- 1 **SENATOR BAMUEL A. ETTLESON.** * the PRESIDENT GIVING 100,000 to Col. John R. Marshall 8th Regiment Armory. 00,000 FOR 8TH Friday afternoon, April 12, Col. John R. Marshall was confronted with biff of sale from St. Monica's Catholic Church, showing that they bought the 8th Regiment Armory for the pur- Who Worked Night and Day for Ten Regiment, and Brought the Bacon Home pose of opening a strictly Catholic Colored School and that they will take possession on July 5, which means that the regiment would be out of doors after that date. This was more than the colonel could stand, so he ran home, grabbed his grip and left the city at once for Springfield, where he went right away to the mansion house to see the governor. After a little conference he and the governor proceeded to the capitol and began to lay their plans to secure a home for the boys. Ed. D. Green First to Act. Ed. D. Green First to Act. Representative Green was the first to see the Governor and Colonel and they immediately button-hole him and began to tell the trouble. Ed told them why gentlemen, when you mention the 8th Regiment, I am always forced to act and I will call Mr. Judah, my Colleague, and see what can be done; both gentlemen got busy and in half an hour they were every which way. Ed Green went to his desk in the House, amended the House appropriation bill and in a twinkling had it referred to the committee, then proceeded to Senator Samuel Ettleson to see what he would do. Senator Ettleson Keeps His Promise. Senator Ettleson, when told of the plight the boys were in by Colonel Marshall and the Governor, said: "Gentlemen, I promised the boys before I was elected that I would do everything in my power to give them their armory. Now, since the extreme has come, I will drop everything and take up every bit of my time to get the building for the boys. He goes before the Senate committee and here had a wrangle, told them to remember the bridge that took them across in the Spanish-American War. The Chicago Defender. and painted such a picture the Chairman of the committee said, yes, we will see what can be done. Col. Marshall Hands Called. When the Colonel got so persistent City Rejoices Over Success. City Registers Over Success. When the news of the appropriation was made known to the members of the 8th Regiment and their friends, they became drunk with joy and the news went like wild fire. The whole regiment began to sing the song, "Illinois," and gave three cheers for Samuel Ettleson, Ed. Green, Noble B. Judah, and Col. Marshall. The entire community is praising our gallant statesmen and Col. Marshall. They adore and honor for the wonderful work he did in ten days. Think of it; a man made $10,000 a day for 10 days! Why, Col. Marshall is the only man in America who can boast of such wages. Chicago and Illinois are all proud of her boys and when the day comes for the corner stone laying, all the great men of the state will be on hand to show to the world that after Illinois and the city of Chicago there is no other place, so far as the Negro is concerned. Just think; there was never an armory built in any state for its colored soldiers. Hampton Institute, through Col. Marshall, gives America its first armory and its first Booker Washington. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1911. M'CARTHY BANK GOES TO WALL. In Hands of Receiver—Title & Trust Company to Run Things—Many Poor Colored People Caught in/the Crash—McCarthy Good to His Tenants. Our reporter was startled the first of the week when he went up into the building at 39th and State streets to look at some the flats and saw on his return to the street about six big copper's standing at the door and about 1,000 colored and 200 white people standing about the door of the bank. Even some folks away from over east were in the bunch with their bank books in hand, and strange to say, in all that turmoll everybody was perfectly satisfied, comparatively. They are beginning to learn that the color of a man's skin has nothing to do with his business ability. It does not matter whether a bank has $200,000; 000 or $50,000, if there is ability, for the latter with a careful president could just as well protect its depositors as the man with $2,000,000. With the closing of the above bank it leaves along State street only two banks, one colored, the other white, both of which have been run on a business basis and are holding their own. With Binga, Bowers and Librandt at their head it means success. In the Binga bank you will see colored women handling your money. It is the only bank in Chicago where members of the race are employed other than a messenger. Give your aid and attention to the banks that help to keep up the interest in your neighborhood. THE BLOOD-KOEHLEM MUSIC CO. GETS WILL DORSEY. De Koven Thompson and Alfred Anderson's Music Placed with the Firm. There was something stirring when the Blood-Koehler Music Company took Will Dorsey out of his studio of the Gale Plano Company sent and placed him as music arranger for the popular music house at 145 North Clark street, in the Randolph building. Mr. Dorsey, who is pianist at the Monogram, is one of the most prolific music arrangers of his race and a gentleman of commanding personality. The first thing he set out to do was to place music from the best colored composers with the firm and secure for them a sale that will bring large royalties. Thompson and Anderson's "If I Forget," now being sung by Madam Schumann Heinke, is already having a large sale. "Just for Your Babe," by Chris Smith and Brookton, "Somewhere Someday," by Blood and Dorsey, and "The Soul of Love is a Red, Red Rose," by Mr. Stein, are daily in rehearsal by numerous singers who are to introduce these songs to the publics. Billy Harper is to sing the Smith-Brooks' song. —Adv. GOV. CHARLES S. DENEEN. Who Signed the Bill for the $100,000 to Build the 8th Regiment Armory. GOV. CHARLES S. DENEEN.

Attorney Martin, who has been successful for about a year in keeping Mrs. Martin, 3636 Forest avenue. In Jesse Binga Banker's flat without pay, came to grief on Thursday when the sheriff and his assistants appeared, forced an entrance and cleaned the house of all its contents and placed them in the street. Mrs. Martin and her sister, Mrs. Bertie Parish, were out when the crash came. When they arrived home later in the afternoon and saw their household goods on the street their breath almost left their body. Everything was done with such quietness that the neighbors hardly knew what happened. The eviction was the prettiest ever done in many a day. Mr. Binga says he lost over $1,500 in his time in court and the non-payment of the rent. THE MARRIAGE FEAST TO SAI THOMAS BY J. W. ROSS. Thursday evening last Mrs. (Saint) Thomas, who is a leader of a faction of the Tourges faith and who are holier than the mother, was tendered a great feast in celebration of her marriage to Apostle Thomas. Mr. W. Ross is responsible for the feast. He is one of the true and tried followers of faith and says there is nothing in his power too good for the "Saint." The home at 2317 La Salle street was the scene of the greatest passover in modern times. All enjoyed themselves immensely and were proud of their patron saint, who blessed all of them. She received many presents. THE CITY OF QUINCY Has Thrifty Colored Citizens— During the Day You Seldom See One on the Street—They Are All at Work in All Lines— Many Graduations and June Weddings to Occur Soon. SOCIAL AND CHURCH NEWS OUR THEME. The Defender to Supplant All the Other Papers of the City—Our Correspondent Up On All the Doings of This City and We Are Sure She Will Please Those from the Home Town. Special to the Chicago Defender. Quincy, Ill., May 26.—The Union Baptist church, Tenth and Chestnut streets, had the burning of the mortgage on their church last Thursday night, which a very large crowd witnessed. The price of admission was of buying a match, and Sister Cameron paying the largest sum for her match obtained the prize match which set the fire that consumed the mortgage. The ladies prepared a very nice program. The exercises were opened by the pastor, Rev. Bates. The paper by Miss Lillie Humphery on the duty of church members was grand, as was the sojo sung by Mrs. G. W. Brown, and the reading by Mrs. Rev. Bates, "Never Give Up," was excellent. Mr. W. Cobb gave the history of the church for the last 23 years. The ministers taking part were Rev. Johnson of K. C., Rev. Grundy, Rev. Powell, Rev. J. A. Sherman, pastor of Wayman, and Rev. Pruitt. Mrs. Rosa Coleman of Riview avenue entertained the Busy Bee Sewing circle of the Eighth Street church. Mr. Thomas of Chestnut street is very slick. Mrs. Nina Cropp of North Ninth street entertained the sewing circle of the Union Baptist church last Wednesday. Mrs. Bates and little daughter leave tonight for Springfield, to visit her mother. The trolly party given by the Eighth Street Sunday school was a great success, they having four cars. Mr. Joe Jackson of 913 North Tenth street met with a very painful accident by falling from one of the cars while running very fast. Mrs. John Clark will soon move to 18th and Oak streets. We were glad to see Mrs. George More of North Eighth street out again. Mrs. Emma Dorsey of Riverview avenue, the mother of Mrs. Pearl Ritter of 4100 State street, Chicago, is very low.

Upsah, chairman of a committee of citizens, composed of Messrs. Charles Thornton, D. R. Robinson, James Wright and Mr. Eugene Compson, who pledged themselves to give one of the greatest banquets ever given on the South Side to any public man. Thus these gen. men were successful; they gave one of the finest that was ever had in the Pekin Inn cafe. Citizens from all walks of life were on hand and those who could not be there sent letters of regret. Great praise must be given these men for their timely thought and the noble way in which they handled the affair. Ed Green was proud to think that his friends thought of him. The Defender speaks in highest terms of these gentlemen, the committee who represented Chicago citizens so well. The banquet roll of honor will be published later. GEORGE R. GARNER, JR Home After An Absence of Two Weeks. Mr. George R. Garner, Jr., the invincible baritone-tenor, returned home yesterday afternoon from Grand Rapids, Mich., where he has been visiting for the past two weeks. He left to be gone only a few days, as he has an engagement to sing the tenor role in an oratorio at the Westminster Presbyterian Church (white), May 14, at Grand Rapids. The ultra-exclusive set (million- aires) of Grand Rapids prevailed upon him to remain in their city a week and give them a series of private recitals, which he consented to. He gave six private recitals and a public recital at the Christ church (white) on Thursday evening, the 25th. He enjoyed himself immensely while away and his colored Friends in Grand Rapids had to take what time they could get to entertain him. Among the colored people who entertained for him were Mrs. M. R. Googins, president of the Richard Allen Home for Girls, Mrs. J. Ford, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Barnett, and Messrs. Clifton Leonard Coggins and Adworth Warren Lewis, two of Grand Rapids' finest colored men. These young men, through Mr. Garner, accompanied him on two occasions to the homes of two of the wealthy families. Mr. Garner enjoys the distinction of being the first and only colored person that has been so highly honored by the white people of Grand Rapids. He was forced to return home as he is to be the leading assistant to Mr. Frank P. George on Monday evening in the Danabegay. W. T. FRANCIS MAY GET HAYTIANCOCOANUT Representatives Stevens and Nye Are Doing All in Their Power to Land Their Man in the Land of Cocoanuts—The Far West Is Fighting for Recognition from the Government. FRANCIS WANTS POST. Gets White Man's Salary As Lawyer for Northern Pacific R. R. Co., Not Because of Color, but Brains— Give Him Chance—If Not Given a Chance Here He Will Get a South American Banana. St. Paul, Minn., May 26—The name of W. T. Francis, attorney, with the Northern Pacific Railway Company of St. Paul, Minn., is receiving much consideration by the President as one of the applicants for the Ministership at Hayti. The name of Mr. Francis was brought out by many of his friends in Washington and presented to the Minnesota Congressional delegation, who are strongly in favor of his recognition for their colored constituents. During the upheaval at the last congressional election the Negroes came solidly to the rescue and saved Representatives Stevens of St. Paul and Nye of Minneapolis, and these representatives are extremely anxious to land something for their colored constituents. They have argued with the President that it is high time for some of these federal plums to fall west of the Mississippi River instead of going east and south. Senator Nelson also takes his influence with the President in Francis' behalf. Francis stands high in political circles in Minnesota, being a member of the Lincoln Republican Club and 8th Ward organization and four years ago was nominated by the Republicans of St. Paul by direct primary vote for City Assemblyman. St. Paul being a Democratic town, Francis was defeated for the election but ran way ahead of his ticket despite the fact the local newspapers were against him on account of his affiliation with the railroad interests. Francis has a remarkable career. Starting in as messenger boy of the legal department of the N. P. Railway Co., he has been steadily advanced by merit alone until now he is the chief clerk of that department in name and salary. He is a lawyer of ability and has been very successful in many of the company's big law suits. The Minnesota delegation has presented his record to the President and it is receiving serious consideration by him. It is said in official circles that if Francis does not land something equally remunerative will be tendered to him. HON. ED. D. GREEN, Who Fathered the 8th Regiment $100,000 Bill and Had It Passed. Indian Tribe Amalgamate. Indian Tribes Amalgamate. Students of the Indian tell us that while the numbers of the red men are diminishing the numbers of the slow amalgamation of the black men, the geographical location makes this possible. It is supposed that there were 1,000,000 Indians on this continent when the Europeans settled here. In 1885 a government report showed an Indian population of 350,000; and it is estimated that the present population is 50,000 less. bride-elect, Miss Elva J. Bruce, Thursday evening, May 18. Mrs. T. W. Rowan, Misses Florence Adams and Georgea Ward complimented her with a miscellaneous shower at the home of Miss Ward, 513 East Ohio street. The house was beautifully decorated with blue and white, a pretty arrangement of pink carnations and bridal wreaths decorated the table. Music and bridge whist were the entertaining features of the evening. A delicious three course luncheon was served. The bride was the happy recipient of many useful presents. Miss Laura Hammond of Elkhart was the out-of-town guest. Mr. David Farr of Elkhart, Ind., was in our city Thursday evening. Messrs. Dulin and Shelton, proprietors of the New Hotel Dominion, have opened up an ice cream parlor on connection with the hotel. Mr. Henry Hill, first vice grand chancellor commander of the K. P.s, is doing all he can for Pythianism in our midst. He is a faithful and earnest worker. Let us hope he may reach the goal some day. A pretty affair on Monday evening was a linen shower given complimentary to Miss Elva Brace by Miss Vaila Sneda at her home, 240 South Chapin street. Dainty refreshments were served by the hostess. Miss Marjorie Abrahams is spending a few days in Battle Creek, Mich. If I haven't got your name and you fall to get a copy of the Defender, call Bell phone 2644 and A. W. Abrams will prompt deliver you the newslest paper you can read. THE K. P'S BALL THE GREATEST EVER SEEN IN CHUGAGO. The ball at the Coliseum on Monday evening will be away out of the ordinary. During the week two bands have been rehearsing the continuous dance program, and our reporter says it is the best he ever heard or saw. Several gentlemen of the committee have been considering whether or not to use the K. P.'s drum major to lead the grand march. This would be quite an innovation, and we think it should be done. AFFAIRS OF THE CHICAGO TUS KEGEE CLUB. The Chicago Tuskegee Club will be honored with the presence of Mr. L. W. Washington at its regular monthly meeting at the Kenwood parlors, 4440 Langley avenue, Sunday, May 28, 1911, at 3 p. m. He will address the club on the subject, "The Business League and What It Means to the Negro." Every member is urged to be present. A most cordial invitation is extended to friends and visitors. The Kenwood parlors, 4440 Langley avenue, will be the permanent meeting place of the club hereafter. Meetings are held, the fourth Sunday of every month at 3 p. m. Goose Did Good Work. Thanks to a goose, a poultry yard thief was traced at Gutersblum, Germany, the other day. The goose cackled persistently in front of a house where her companions had been hidden, and this led to the thief's arrest. Extraordinary!

By A. W. Abrams. South Bend, Ind, May 28.—The people of South Bend realize that the way to be successful is to have more business among themselves and to patronize each other more. We have everything in our city any other large city has but one thing and that is a club for our young men. So many of them come to our city with no place to gather. Rather than go to church they wander to the red light district and that is the last of them. They soon forget mother's teaching. The Olivet A. M. E. sewing circle gave a chicken supper Friday night. Dr. J. M. Evans preached a very forceful sermon Sunday night, his subject being, "Then What Shall We Do With Jesus, Which Is Called Christ."

MAKE HOMES IN TREE STUMPS Firs of the Pacific Northwest Are Put to Many Uses After They Are Cut Down. The fine firs of the Pacific northwest are so colossal that after the trees are hewed down the stumps are used for children's playgrounds, houses for families to live in or for dancing platforms. To make a stump house the material from the interior is removed, leaving only enough to form walls of suitable thickness. A roof of boards or shingles is put over the top of the stump, holes are cut for windows and doors and a family of five can and often does make it their dwelling. The stump houses are sometimes used by settlers until they can build larger and more durable homes. After the stump home has been vacated it is turned into a stable for the horses or sometimes in an enclosure for chickens or hogs. Next to the big trees of California the fir or sequela of Washington and Oregon has the largest diameter. As they decay rapidly the hollowing out is easy. Sometimes they are used for dance platforms, some of them accommodating as many as four couples. Another custom is to turn the big stumps into playgrounds for the children. The children reach the top by pieces of wood nailed against the sides or by ladder. A beautiful use of the large stumps is making them into flower beds covered over with trailing vines. Great Railway President Whose Stomach Was Spoiled. Thomas A. Scott Would Have Given Up Fame and Fortune To Be Like His Friend, John Bx E. J. EDWARDS. Thomas A. Scott was one of the greatest railroad managers the country ever had. In the fifties and the sixties and seventies of the last century he was deemed to be in all things the equal, and in many respects the superior, of the railway men of those decades. He was spoken of as a brilliant financier. He was praised as an engineer qualified to overcome the most difficult transportation problems. His association with the first administration of Lincoln, as assistant secretary of war, when he reorganized the entire system of transportation in the interests of the Union, was alone sufficient to earn him a safe and prominent place in history. And there are many persons who are of the opinion to this day that it was President Scott's genius that gave the Pennsylvania railroad the great prestige it enjoys the world over. In the last year of Colonel Scott's life, which ended in 1881, he met one day in Philadelphia an old friend who was not a resident of that city, a man of the name of Snedeker. Colonel Scott was most cordial in his greeting. "John," he said, "I can't tell you how glad I am to see you. I want you to come and take luncheon with me today. I am pretty busy, but I can spare an hour and a half for the sake of a talk with you about old times. Will you come?" And Colonel Scott named the club in which he would entertain his old friend. They met at one o'clock, and, having taken a seat at a table in the restaurant, Colonel Scott said: "John, order anything you please. I will be careful about what I eat, and I can't eat much, anyway. So I am going to leave it to you to give your order." Mr. Snedecker, after studying the bill-off-face, gave it as his opinion that he would start off with a cup of boulton, and then see what he could do to a porterhouse steak, with French fried potatoes; and he spoke further of various side dishes, ending by saying that he would name the dessert a little later. "That's an order which does me credit," declared Colonel Scott. "I am proud to give it. But as for myself I shall have to be satisfied with a little toast and a cup of English breakfast tea. That is all I dare eat for luncheon, and that is about all I have for breakfast. I suppose you have a good breakfast?" "You think this a hearty luncheon, don't you, Tom?" chuckled Snedecker. "Well, you should see my breakfast." For a moment Colonel Scott looked with an expression partly of admiration and partly of regret at his friend, and then he said: "John, I would give a million dollars if I had your stomach and digestive organs." "Tom," replied John, "you have built up a great railroad. You are building another one down in Texas. You made a great record in the war department at Washington. You are a famous man. And they tell me you have a fortune of five million dollars. I have accumulated about two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. All I have got is probably not equal to your income for one year. "But what have your fame and your fortune cost you? They have cost you your stomach and your digestive organs. I have got my little fortune, and it is enough to keep me comfortable, and I have got perfect physical health. I can eat anything, and I sleep like a schoolboy. You have got much money and a great reputation; and you deserve it all. I have no fame—only a little money—but I can eat beefstank smothered with onions, and never think of it after I have swallowed it. Which of us is the better off?" "You," said the great railroad president, wearily, "And, John, if I had it to do over again I would do just as you have done. I would let wealth and fame hang and keep my stomach." A few months later Thomas A. Scott, who built up one of the world's great railroads, and showed the government how to transport its troops and supplies expeditiously during the civil war, lay dead at the comparatively early age of fifty-seven years.

Bad News for Pipe Smokers The valuable material from which meerschaum pipes are made is continually getting scarcer, and the large industry which has flourished in Vienna, Budapest, Nuremberg, Paris and in the Thuringian town of Ruha seems endangered. The manufacture of meerschaum pipes is much more important than is generally supposed. The town of Ruha alone has been exporting in round figures pipes to the value of about $1,500,000 annually. The finest grade of meerschaum is found near Eski-Schelir, in Anatolia, Asla Minor, in a hollow, which in early days was a lake, in which the meerschaum was precipitated. Meerschaum is also found in other places, including Thebes, Egypt, the Bosnian Mountains in the neighborhood of Grubschitz, and Nuedorf in Moravia, and in some sections of Spain and Portugal.

"No," laughed Aesop's wife, "I thought perhaps it might be another of his fables." Hla Only Hope. About the only hope we can see for the nine-dollar-a-week man is for him to marry a girl who is happy over trifles.-Galveston News. HOTEL NEWS W. M. Matthews, one of the waiters of the crew employed at the Paillard hotel in Grand Rapids, Mich., is in the Wind City. He says he is just "looking them over." Well, at this time of the year he will have all he can attend to as everything is "Peaches" down the line. "The colored waiters' union of Detroit has issued a statement claiming that head waiters in some of the best hotels in the city make as high as $200 per month by compelling waiters under them to pay fifty cents a night for the privilege of working. Managers of hotels and restaurants are asked to investigate." Several weeks ago there was printed in this column an article on the unjust collection of "protection money" by some head waiters not only of Chicago but of various other cities and the above step taken by the colored waiters' union of Detroit, Mich. (which, by the way, puts Chicago to shame, as we have no union) is but the beginning of the end. Such a practice, as I have mentioned before, is a disgrace to our manhood. Make your power always felt for the right and in all things separate the chaff from the wheat. Galt House to Be Sold. The real estate, improvements and equipment of the Galt house Louisville, Ky., are to be sold, together or separately. Bids will be received up to May 19. To many the above will be read with regrets as the Galt house is a landmark of Louisville and many are the boys who have served their apprenticeship within its walls and are now head men over some of our best crews of waiters throughout the country. The reporter takes pleasure in the news that Mr. J. Hal Cox of Louisville, Ky., will for the future make Chicago his home. Mr. Cox comes to us highly recommended having been employed in Louisville as butler by a very prominent and wealthy judge. Mr. Cox is employed in our city at the northwestern depot as waiter, which is a secondary calling, as the gentleman is one of the finest cooks in the business. Mr. Cox is but a young man and great things will be expected of him, as he is gifted with tact, ingenuity and a congenial disposition. The Defender extends to him an hospitable hand in greeting. The Hotel La Salle is to have a new neighbor and one that will greatly enhance the attractiveness of the vicinity. On the southwest corner of La Salle and Madison, directly opposite the hotel, a twenty story office building to cost $2,500,000 will replace the dingy old rookery that has occupied the site. Allow me to correct an article in last week's issue concerning Mr. J. J. Miles of Milwaukee, Wis. Mr. Miles has been employed as head waiter at Hotel Plankton of said city for seven years and not for thirty years as stated last week. Glant Among Bibles. There is in the Royal library at Stockholm, among other curiosities, a manuscript work known as the Giant Bible, on account of its extraordinary dimensions. It measures 90 centimeters in length and is 50 centimeters in breadth—that is, about 35 inches by 19 inches. It requires three men to lift it. There are 309 pages, but seven have been lost. The parchment of which the book is composed required the skins of 160 asses. There are two columns on each page, and the book contains the Old and New Testaments, with extracts from "Josephus." The initial letters are illuminated. The binding is of oak, four and one-half centimeters in thickness. The book narrowly escaped destruction in the fire in the Royal palace of Stockholm in 1697. It was saved, but somewhat damaged, by being thrown out of a window. Green Snow. The familiar red snow of Alpine and Arctic regions is well known to be due to the growth in it of a minute one-celled species of alga. In the Bulletin of the Botanical Society of Geneva, R. Chodat describes a new species of alga which grows in snow and colors it green. The specimen, by Viret in a discussion between the Algulgies du Chardonnet and the Granda Mulets, at the edge of the Argentine Glacier. The patch of green snow was some 37 yards long by 3 broad, the color being a dirty green. The new species has been named raphidium viret, after its discoverer. Winter Home of Deer The winter home of the American red deer is very interesting. When the snow begins to fly the leader of the herd guides them to some sheltered spot where provender is plentiful. Here as the snow falls they pack it down, tramping out a considerable space, while about them the snow mounts higher and higher until they cannot get out if they would. From the main opening, or "yard," as it is called, tramped out paths lead to the nearby trees and shrubbery which supply them with food. In this way they manage to pass the winter in comparative peace and safety.—St. Nicholas. Phillips' Saw David Graham Phillips, who was murdered by a lunatic Socialist, used to say that ninety-nine out of a hundred persons always thought a pretty clear description of a man was to say that he was either tall, medium sized or short. Tip knows a wise old countryman who will study the sky thoughtfully if you ask him what the temperature indications are for tomorrow, and say: "It will be either a little warmer or a little colder or about the same." KEEPING THE HANDS PRETTY Some Good Beauty Advice to the Woman Who Does Her Own Housework. Because a woman does her own housework there is no reason why her hands should be coarse and red. Dishes may be washed and all the sweeping and dusting done without in any way destroying the natural texture of the skin, if only a person is willing to take a few simple precautions. On every sink there should stand a jar of vaseline or other heavy grease. There will also be required a cake of good toilet soap and a pair of old kid gloves. The latter must be perfectly clean inside. Immediately after washing the dishes and pans the hands should be carefully washed in clean warm water with the toilet soap, using a nail brush at the same time. Incidentally, there will be a tremendous saving to the fingers if the pans are washed by putting a strong soap powder into them as soon as removed from the stove, adding a little hot water and then replacing them on the stove for a few minutes. When the water comes to a boll a small, stiff brush may be washed around in the tins. They are rinsed in clear water and are scrupulously clean without the fingers having come into contact with the grease. When the fingers have been washed and wiped, the nails and backs of the hands are to be thoroughly greased and the gloves drawn on. They should be worn all the time that sweeping and dusting is being done. On finishing the housework the gloves are removed and the skin will be found soft and smooth. If any cream adheres it may be washed off, waking with a dry towel. FADS IN ENGAGEMENT RINGS While Nearly All Are Diamond Solitaires, Some Persons Prefer Variety in Shape and Settings. A jeweler says that ninety-nine out of every hundred engagement rings bought from him are diamond solitaires. These are plainly set in a narrow band of gold with raised effect and only differ from one another in the size and purity of the stone. Occasionally a man wants something different. Sometimes it will be the birthstone of his fiancee. Other men will have a mixed ring, the name of each stone representing a letter of the name. Square engagement rings are in favor just now. A solitaire diamond of this shape has small diamonds set in the sides of the ring itself. Another engagement ring fancy among couples that like to defy superstition, is a big, deep-toned opal set with 13 diamonds. Colored stones are not especially popular for engagement rings, but if the flanée has a fancy for a special stone, as an emerald, turquoise, ruby or opal, it is often chosen, sometimes alone, usually surrounded by diamonds. When an engagement ring must be inexpensive it is a pretty sentiment to choose a moonstone, which is supposed to bring good luck. These are pretty, set in flagree silver around a good-sized oval stone. The marking of an engagement ring varies with the sentiment of the lover. Usually it is nothing more than the initials of the man and girl connected by the word "to" and followed by the date. If a man is engaged to a girl who is critical he should offer several engagement rings from which to choose. However much this girl may be in love, she finds it hard to endure a ring she dislikes. ATTRACTIVE WAIST. This most attractive waist is of black mousseline de sole with collar and cuffs of white lace. The bretelles are also of white lace bordered with black velvet; they cross in front and form a large knot in the back. The girdle is of light green changeable silk. Velled Nail Heads. To get results with nail heads very different from those produced by the usual method of treatment cover them with chiffon before sewing them on. Nail heads for this purpose should be of the most brilliant kind, and even embroideries of general appearance embroideries of which they are to form a part is to be very subdued, it will be necessary to add bright color in some way. --- Woodchuck Getz Big Odda Lee, Miss.—A woodchuck which went into its hole near Quigley's corner, in the heart of the town, on August 26 last, and has not appeared since, is responsible for the posting of much Berkshire money. Even money is offered that the woodchuck will come out in due time, large sums have been placed at 10 to 8 that it is not in the hole, and there is a brisk business in 10 to 6 bets that the animal is dead. Interest in the woodchuck's welfare is spreading rapidity. It was an important day for the girl artist just back from her years of study in Europe. Over and over she said to the men and women who flocked to her studio: "Oh, it is good to be home again! Of course I love Paris, but Chicago seems like home to me." Now, the girl artist meant every word she said and her greeting of old friends was none the less sincere because down under all that she said she was thinking of the possible financial success of her first exhibit. Most artists who have spent years abroad do think of that when they come back home. This does not so much indicate a mercenary nature as the instinct for self-preservation. Even artists must eat. The girl artist, after weary days of getting her belongings through the custom house and more weary days of arranging her studio, was almost exhausted as she dressed herself the afternoon of the exhibit. "But everything does look nice," she said to herself encouragingly. "The pictures are hung well—and, oh, perhaps I sell some of them!" Everybody came to the tea. Old family friends came and brought their friends. Socially, at least, the homecoming of the girl artist was a great success. Financially—well, of course one can't be too blunt about such things, and all she could expect was to arouse an interest which lead to sales. That is what the girl artist kept saying over and over to herself, the while she said aloud: "Oh, yes, it is good to be home again. Of course I love Paris, but Chicago will always be home to me." And all the time down underneath the words there was the minor refrain of her thoughts: "Oh, some one must buy something; surely some one will like some of these pictures." Before the afternoon was far gone the girl artist's attention was focused on the one woman in the studio who gave most promise of being a purchaser. With a voice which she tried to keep calm she asked the woman to come to the tea table. "Yes, thank you," said the woman. "I'll have a cup of tea now. But I want to look at this picture again. I'm trying to make up my mind about something." Trying to make up her mind! That could mean only one thing. The girl artist felt her heart was still faster. When the woman had emptied her teacup and eaten her wafers and French pasties she went back to the picture in which she was so interested in a few minutes she came to the girl artist and inquired if she might use the telephone. "I want to ask my sister about the picture," she said. "She has such excellent taste that I rely upon her a great deal." The girl artist, hoping earnestly that the sister would not spoil the sale, fell her heart beat still faster as she led the prospective purchaser to the telephone across the hall. "She'll be over in an hour," said the woman to the girl artist when she came back. "I hope it won't inconvenience you, having me stay after the other guests go. I want my sister's judgment on this picture." Inconvenience her? Why the girl artist was radiant and profuse in her joy. After the other guests had gone the girl artist and the woman sat down to talk until the arrival of the sister. The woman inquired about the picture and the model for it. "I enjoyed painting it so much," the girl artist said a dreamy look in her eyes. "You see, a friend of mine posed for it. She was in Paris on her wedding trip, and her husband, who is a young millionaire, seemed determined to buy everything on the Rue de la Paix for her. It was great sport for me to go with them to help buy the lovely things. But I didn't really lose my head until we found that wonderful opera coat. The different whites in it—the white of the Irish face, of the ermine, of the chiffon and of the cameo clasps—seemed to me the most artistic thing I ever had seen. So when Margaret wanted to make me a gift I said I didn't want anything except the privilege of painting that coat. The face isn't Margaret's, but then it was her coat, not her face, that I was wild to paint." The girl artist was so flushed with excitement that she did not notice how irrelevant was the woman's one remark: "Oh, the coat came from the Rue de la Paix, did it?" When the sister came the girl artist delicately delftored for a few minutes. When she came back the visitors were preparing to go. "Thank you so much," said the woman who had been there so long. "I'll tell you what it was I wanted my sister to decide. I have a set of ermine and I was wondering if I couldn't have it made up into a coat like this. But my sister says she doesn't think I have enough. I'm sorry, for I think that coat is a beauty, and you say it came from the Rue de la Paix. But I always rely on my sister. I've enjoyed much. Goodbye." The girl artist sounded something which she hoped sounded like a conventional farewell. Then as the door closed behind her guests she laughed—a thin little laugh. "But if I hadn't always prided myself on my sense of humor I'd cry," she confessed to herself as she burped her head in a sofa cushion.

Friends of the boy's small dog now the tree are surprised to see such a funny combination of playthings. The other day one of the father's friends asked the boy what the electric railroad was used for. "That railroad," replied the boy, "used to ride the frogs from the pool to the tree every day so they can got the air." Love.

Svengali the hypnotist, und Madam Helene, mind reader, were the novelty attrac tion, but Lawrence Johnson, a white ventriloquist, for quality of ‘talk and istinetness ‘of articulation, made a hit.

It will be nec: essary for this act to use plenty of ragthine musle with comedy action, but what's the use of a blackface comedian if he don't do something. ‘The Pekin now has a rough stone front which looks handsome, Mana- ger Motts has again instituted vo performances a night and the prices of admission have been lowered for the summer—let us hope, Ten Dark Knights at the New Grand. Manager Duke Brennon made no zalstake when he booked Rolfe and Smith's “Ten Dark Knights.” It was apectally noticed that the large aud ‘ences present waited fo see this num- ber, which closed the bill. Jack Smith, the comedian, 1s not only clever, but ‘one of the funniest actors ever seen In clean original Negro capers, Jim- mio Brown, the little fellow, also cre- ated laughter. ‘The moonlight scenes and dancing of the company which includes Henderson Smith, Messrs. Alexander, Woods, Wright, Mobley, Smith, Harper, Collins, Brown, Rey- nolds and Bolden, together with a good band, completed an exceptional act. Johnson and Rector played a re- turn date and took better than on their former appearance and their work was clean, The white acts con- sisted of the Renellos, expert bicy- clists, the man making a hit in sen- sational fents.

Toward the end of the month of probation the aquire took the widow behind old Mol to the Foot Washing Daptists’ camp meeting at Hickory grove. The squire had a flawless rec- ord, and both were in fine spirits over the prospect of a speedy union. While at the meeting, however, it set in to rain, and by the time they reached Wolf creck on tho return journey It was (remendously high. When ex actly in the middle of the stream old Mol balked. ‘The squire lashed and coaxed her, then railed at her in the revised near-swearing, but she planted her fore fect more firmly. ‘The buck- board was awash and floating danger. ously, Great logs and rails were bump- Ing down-stream. The widow fretted, ‘The squire grew desperate, “Widow,” he announced, "it you wilt crawl back in the hind end of the wag- on and stick your fingers in your cara good and tight, maybe I can reason with this perverse creature.” The widow hesitated, but the dan ger was great and she went. “Got ‘em stopped good and tight?” aaked Squire Skaggs. ‘The widow did not answer, so that the squire drew his own conclusions and sailed in. He began with the Al- pha of his own original, blue-flame, sulphurous code, and went straight through to, Omega, omitting nothing. At the first! familiar expletive old Mol perked up her ears. In half a minute she was looking back with approval, Before Squire Skages had halt fin: ished old Mol clicked her heels to- gether and hauted the buckboard high upon te bank. When the widow climbed back upon the seat, Squire Skaggs hung his head ag one who has stolen a baby sheep, He could only utter brokenly: “I guess I've spoiled my probation, widow. I had to talk right positive to that mule." To his astonishment the widow's face was radiant. “Squire Skaggs,” she replied, “my fingers slipped out, and J must say you are the most elo. quent men I ever heard, After the wedding I'm going to teach you to pray.” Hope for the Sleepless Ones, ‘There is hope for the sufferer from insomnia. An Englishman has invent- ed a sleep inducing instrument which \ne calls a spectascope.

All the officers of the club were on hand at the Burlington, 2918 State street, ready to make the run in thelr Red Devil touring car to 69th and Halsted, when a great peal of thunder warned them of the danger of such an attempt and the trip had to be abandoned on account of the rain that followed soon after, and thus the many members of the Boosters’ Club and their / lady frlends who were going to accompany them were compelled to call a hasty meeting and It was decided that a ukase be issued by President Bolling for next Sunday, tomorrow. ‘The Pekin Tigers can go some.

If a dress be well cut you will Ifave no trouble at all about putting it together. These few hints from an experienced dressmaker may, ‘therefore, be of service to the am- -ateurs among readers. When you are cutting out a ekirt al “ways allow plenty of turning around the walst and hips, and remember that it your hips are large in proportion to your walst it Js best to get a pattern & couple of inches larger than the ‘walat rather than one that just fits. Tt is easy then to take the goods in at the walet if the pattern {9 too large at this place. ‘When you aro cutting a striped skirt remember that even though you may be told on the pattem to place one side to a selvedge it Ia advisable to ‘use rather your own common sense and, as a rule at least, to cut each side slightly ou the bias, If this is done the joining place 1s not nearly s0 noticeable as if ono side fs on the las and the other on the straight. Before cutting out sleeves always double your materia) and cut the two together. Then you are bound to cut them right and they will match prop- erly. If the material be striped seo that the stripes come directly over one another. Pin the material to make sure, as nothing looks worse than two sleeves, the stripes in one of which do not match those in the other. ‘With these ideds, and others which Rgve been given jn the past and wil ve given in tho futuro on this page, any ono with an elementary knowledge of sewing and a|eupply of uptodate patterns should bp able to do her own dressmaking in the simplest blouses and frocks, at ledst, PHONE DOUOLAS 4234 7 HA, ISAACS, Pryp.

Abe, is God dead? Tue Decoration Day. Ed. n is needed all over me! So Negroes don't need any advice; just let them alone. Norl Christian Endeavor of America says they will give them advice—now then. The sheriff of Lake City is proud that he had a son the night of the 20th inst. If the Southern white man is the Negroes best, the average Negro certainly don't realize what friendship means. South Wainsboro, Ga., mobs will hang any one. A preacher was hung on the 20th for protecting his honor from an insult offered him in regards his wife from a Southern white gentleman. The trouble with the crowds at the corner of Thirty-first and State streets is that people ought to have sense enough not to stand in the center of the walk. Please tell everybody to keep one side and keep the center clear. Several years ago some editors from South Carolina said they wished the Northern Negro would let their white folks alone. Well, Lake City, Fla., has proven conclusively that the Southern people, both white and black, understand each other. Okema, Okla., has made itself famous by lynching a mother and son, and the United States government is still quiet. One hundred colored men have been lynched in the past ninety days and not a murmur even from the clergy or the man of God. President Taft will be kind to humanity even in the upper class of low downs, in one sense, if he will pardon Chas. W. Morse of New York and John R. Walsh of Chicago, in particular. It would seem reasonable in these two men who have both suffered and made good as an example of warning in other like cases to come that should not be pardoned. There are two things that must be impressed upon the minds of certain kinds of Negroes, both in high and low circles. People in high circles who are cowardly enough to write insulting letters to people in public life are low in reality and there lies the path which points the way to prison. The sign of the Black Hand which has shown itself in our colored neighborhood is not wanted and its suppression must be vigorous. The worst thing about it is that it asserted itself in three different ways and in two different colors of people, a letter of threat, a demand for money from a colored grocer and a white man's bomb, directed at a white man in a place frequented by colored people. What the south side needs is a large Negro police and a secretive intelligent detective system. How I should like to explain how they do things in New York and Boston. The Negro race certainly has some radical people, ignorant talkers who idly run down Booker T. Washington and tell what they would do or what they would be if they were Booker T. I'll just tell them what they would be. They would be a lot of fools. It takes brains to make a great man, and no man is perfect. It is true that Dr. Washington has often erred in public speeches and in compromises which the Negro race can outlive. I deny that Dr. Washington has ever uttered anything that was really hurt to his race. People forget that Dr. Washington, like all public men, is much misquoted, and the many good things he does for men and people of his race has never half been told. His entire record, if we are to compare him with white men in his, the highest rank and cleanest type of character, the pennant comes to him, and we as a race must "shut up" and honor him whether we care to or not. People who were born and raised in Chicago, who have never visited the intelligent cities of the East, call Chicago a civilized city. I don't. I must be truthful and say in pity, as one who loves its honest, law-abiding citizens, that Chicago is a humbund town, free to all as bunko steerers to victimize their nearest friend or inducible stranger. Of such is the condition that must be forcibly changed the cultivation of character and esty. To prove that Chicago is far from civilization is that peo-personal rights and safety is unto the life of a cowboy of the fifty years ago, and all your per-perty belongs to whoever ```markdown ``` cares to throw a stone through your window or break down the door. The weakest point in the conflict between money men and union laborers in Chicago is that both parties are wrong, ignorant, stubborn and revengeful, instead of being willing to arbitrate. The defects of labor unions regarding the Negro is that Negroes are taken in, and when the money man says for spite that I will not employ a Negro, the unions should not, but do turn the Negroes off. This labor is demoralized by its own weaknesses. Money power defies the weakness of unions by employing non-union men other white or black. Whenever a money man, the landlord, fixes a store and puts in a big glass window is smashed by the union men, but the innocent Negro inmates are imposed by danger, white the landlord is safe on Michigan avenue. If mob rule and outlaw spirit is given to the landlord who is guilty and demolish his windows instead. Union laborers can never gain justice and sympathy in Chicago in doing things on a dishonorable plain, but it would be better if Gompers could tell them this, if they have faith in him in accordance to his salary, or if Mitchell could live in Chicago, or if Mitchell the trouble and condition, without child fear and allay the differences as he once did in the coal mine regions of Pennsylvania. The Negro race has always loved the white laborer, has always been in sympathy with them in their grievances. And it would seem that the poor white union laborer learns nothing from the daily newspapers, and has to be taught by the arguments produced in a Negro newspaper. If white union laborers do not speedily change the program and stick by the union Negro on an equal basis in Chicago, labor unions, I fear, will go to ruin and foreigners and Negroes will be obliged to keep from starvation by work of any kind because the white American boy of Chicago puts all his trust in Gompers. IN MEMORIAM Whereas, Almighty God in His infinite wisdom has seen fit to take out of the world one of the former members of our family, Miss J. E. Abbott; Whereas, Her faithful services to the family and to people in the community in which she lived; Whereas, We know that we have lost one of the loyal members of our family; therefore be it Resolved, First that the valuable services done by her in the community in which she lived; second, that her death deplored not only by us but by all who knew her. Her loving father, mother, sister and brother did all they could to make her stay a pleasure. Farewell to her and all her friends. She will make her abode in heaven. Dead? No, she is not dead; only sleeping. I fancy it is her pleasure now. So say, good friends, don't weep. Sister Josephine, I wish to say to you, "Sleep on and take thy rest; we truly loved the very well, but heaven loved the heat." We know that you are safe in Jesus' arms, who doeth all things well. Oh how we all regret to part! And oh, what inward pain! But in the language of the poet, we hope to meet again. Your loving mother, father, sister and brother, too, are left in the hands of Jesus. You will have to spend the many nights in the dark and silent grave. Now, we must do as you have done to make our souls bold. Now, you have crossed the icy river, where the surges cease to roll." By: Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Abbott, father and mother, STORY PURPOSELY MADE LONG Teller Wore Out Patience of Listeners, but He Accomplished His Object. On one of the rivers in China a passenger boat had just started when a man came running up and called out, "Stop, stop! and take me on board." "You are too late," replied the boatman. "If you will let me come I will tell you a tale," the man called out. Now everybody likes to hear a story, and so the passengers persuaded the captain to take the man on board, and he began: "Once upon a time a famous general led an army to the south to fight an enemy. On their way they came to a river which they had to cross. They were only able to build a very narrow bridge, so that they had to cross over one by one. Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp; one after the other—tramp, tramp." The man kept on saying, "Tramp, tramp, tramp" for some time until the people grew tired of it. At last one said: "Yes, but you go on with the story." "You must let them cross the river," the man replied. "One after the other—tramp, tramp, tramp." Presently the people stopped nim again and asked him to miss all that part of the story, but the man replied, "They cannot cross the bridge in a short time; they must go slowly and carefully, one after the other, tramp, tramp," and so the man kept on and would say nothing else. At last the boat reached the end of its journey and the story was never finished. Back Again. "Didn't I give you a piece of pie last week?" demanded the cookingschool graduate. "I didn't expect to see you again so soon." "I fooled you, mm'am," replied the tramp. "I didn't eat it." No Use. "This popular fiction is all rot. He real life the girl's father seldom objects to the man of her choice." "You are wrong there. He often objects, but he's usually too wise to say anything." WHAT METHINKS I SAW THERE ON THAT EASTER MORN. P. Dellecate I, Rev. D, P. Roineers, D, D. prior of Bethel A. M. E. Church, Chicago N. W. In the heart of a great city, He said, "I will sing" Where the choir was sweetly singing And the organ music ringing, And the choir they were clinging Into one happy land. They all came there to worship on that night. The mightiest of the mighty, Who hath prepared the way; As the choir they were accolade, As their hearts sang a sweet song To one whod conquered life and death. Upon that Easter morn. On the corner of Thirtieth and Dearborn, It's where that chapel stands, And a poignant gentleman, and a learned man. You can see him in his pulpit. Quotation: "There is no greater general than he— who guides his soldiers right." And the sermon that sermon on that Easter morn. Of him who King of all the Kings, Since he was born in the ground. And as I sit there listening I have great melodious voice, with wide open mouth. It made my heart rejoice. As he told of the life and crucifixion And of the resurrection of this Kingly man. He drew one of the greatest pictures. That ever could be drawn by man. Yes, this noble character is the grandest Saint and sinner sat together, dressed in their best array: Many there were old and gray; Some rejoicing, some was crying, many all was well in Christendom. Christ he ruled supreme that day. After the sermon was ended, And the parson sat down, And sat quietly and brightly. Slood there on holy ground. He extended the invitation to join that Men and women came a-running. For to have their names enrolled. For to have their names significant one; On records they can't be secretried. It made one think that they were living in the Bible. And that they could see, as John of Pat- mons saw. The Bible books unfold. Dear friends, in lines I paint this scene, Of that glorious Easter morn, And that it would sound it down To generations yet unborn. It is my prayer, I would to God May read what happened that Easter day In that old cathedral grand. What grandness of grace, Standing amid that happy throng. Of the King of Kings, the Prince of Peace, The monarch was wise. Bringing people earth, good will to men. Until they has passed and gone. This is what methinks I saw there On that Easter morn.

The program committee gave the Forum a great treat in the two splendid addresses delivered by Drs. M. A. Major and Theo. R. Mozee. Dr. Major spoke on "Building a Race." His address was very practical. He brought out many of the weaknesses and shortcomings of our race and showed many of our possibilities. The address provoked much discussion and many helpful things were said. Dr. Mozee gave the Forum a splendid dissertation on the care of the teeth and showed how the proper care of the body and right habits help to produce the best citizen. Those who were not present missed a great treat. The Forum will not meet on Decoration Day, but on June 6th Mr. H. C. Fox will read a paper on "Modern Ages." The Social Committee also promises the Forum a surprise on that evening. You will do well to be present. Watch the Forum. It has come to help, not to hinder. Why He Wanted a Dog License. Why He Wanted a Dog License. A young man, flushed of face, carrying a Chihuahua dog, rushed hurriedly into the state courts building the other day and asked excitedly for the dog license bureau. "You're in the wrong house," a policeman advised him; "you'll have to go up town to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for that." "Wow," exclaimed the young man, as if in pain. Then he confided his story to the "cop." "You see," he said, "I just bought this mutt" for the girl I'm going to marry. Then we went over to the city hall to get our marriage license. When we got there she chased me out to get a license for this hailress brute. She's waiting for me now," he added, "but I guess it's no dog license, no marriage license," and the troubled youth bolted for the subway and the animal headquarters at Twenty-fifth street.—New York Tribune. Elute Buried With Owner Buried With Owner. A pathetic little incident marked the burial of Mr. Charles Hunt, who died at Acton, England, a few days ago. During his lifetime Mr. Hunt had been a passionate lover of music, and possessed no little talent for flute playing. After his death his friends placed his well-loved flute, a fine instrument, nearly a yard long, with silver mountings, in the coffin beside him. Two Sides to Dream "That man says he's going to wake everybody up when he gets to the legislature." "Yes," replied Farmer Corn-tosel. "But in politics, when a man talks too much about wakin' other people up it's likely as not a sign that he's dreamin' hisself." Miss Gertrude Agnes, eldest daughter of Mrs. Amelia Luker of 3650 Forest avenue, died May 20. Funeral was held Tuesday, 22d Inst., from Charles Jackson's chapel, Rev. David Wallace conducting service. Interment private at Oak Hill cemetery. Mrs. Isabella Hall of 3339 Vernon avenue, who has been suffering from a severe rheumatic attack, is improving.

They left on Tuesday for St. Joe to visit Mrs. Worx, her sister and will return to the city on Friday evening enroute to St. Paul. Cards are out announcing the coming marriage of Dr. Olive Henderson to Dr. T. Sterling Office. Miss Katie Williams, 4064 Dearborn street, who left the city Wednesday for an extended trip south, was pleasantly surprised by her cousin, Miss Estelle Williams, and an merry party of friends on Tuesday evening.

The barber was just about to lean over and ask the customer in a low whisper if he didn't want a facial "massodge." But the customer forestalled him by looking up suddenly and asking a question himself. "How many strokes of the razor are required in shaving the average man—or, rather, how many strokes do you make in shaving me, for instance? "O, I dunno," replied the barber. "Never thought of it." "But you must have some rough idea. You've been in the business a good many years, I take it." "Yes, about nine years." "Well, how many strokes do you think it takes?" "O, mebby 150—or 175; not more'n that." "You're wrong," hugged the customer. "Some time ago I fell into the habit of counting the razor strokes when I'm being shaved, just as a means of resting my mind; you can't think about your business when you're counting the short, quick strokes of a razor. So I've got to be something of an authority on the subject. Counting it as a stroke every time the razor is moved forward and drawn back again, it takes between 600 and 700 strokes as a rule—that is on my face it does—my beard's pretty tough. Of course, when I shave myself with a safety razor it doesn't take anything like as many because you can cover more facial territory at a single stroke. I have been shaved in a barber chair with as few as 500 strokes, but as a rule it is nearer 700. Kind of surprises you, doesn't it?" "It sure does," says the barber.

SAM FIELDING, Mgr. in Advance. REAL NECESSITY OF THE AGE Misguided People Who Would Abolish Poverty Herein Shown the Error of Their Ways. Forgive those who would abolish poverty, for they know not what they do. To abolish poverty would hurt business immensurably. There are a great many people who get their livelihood by dispensing charity. If poverty be abolished, they would have to join the army of the unemployed. Furthermore the technical knowledge of how to make a pauline without pampering him would him would be wasted. Then there another end to it. When a man gets rich he invariably has two tasks before him. First, to build and try to inhabit a larger house than any other man ever built and tried to inhabit, and second, to engage in some unique and pictureque charitable enterprise, the reporter, serving up a modern quick lunch, engraphy of rich magnates, will be entirely at sea if he could not catalogue the beneficent activities of the said magnates. What would a poor rich man's life be worth if he could not give a little of his too much in order that he might pass down into the files of history as one who loved the poor, one who loved the poor so much that he got immensely rich and thus set them a shining example, besides offering them generous hand-outs? Without poverty, no charity, and the three graces would become a duet. Hinc illas lachrymae.—New York Times. SALESMAN HAD BRIGHT IDEA His Knowledge of Human Nature Enabled Him to Rise to Head of His Profession. "Young man," says the automobile manufacturer to the new salesman who has astonished the organization by the rapid fire sales he has made in the two months of his employment. "I must congratulate you on your work." "Thank you, sir," replies the new salesman, modestly. "I know we build the best auto in the market," says the manufacturer, "but even at that I cannot understand how you can sell ten times as many machines as the very best man we have had prior to you. How do you do it?" "Well, sir," explains the new salesman, the light of honest pride in his eyes, "I always ask the customer to take a ride in one of our machines as the first move toward getting acquainted with its riding qualities. Of course he accepts the invitation. I then take him out on the boulevard and get arrested and fined for fast running. After that there is no argument." Ten minutes later the new salesman leaves the private office with a block of preferred stock tucked away in his inside pocket.-Judge's Library. The Wealth of Life There is no wealth but life—life, including all its powers of love, of joy, and of admiration. That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings; that man is richest who, having perfected the functions of his own life to the utmost, has also the widest helpful influence, both personal and by means of his possessions, over the lives of others.—Ruskin. a ' —————_=— \ijjz, The Right Place A for , Fine Diamonds tad Diamond dewairy ‘Prices Right, Quality Considered c.

Secretary of War Couldn't Understand Great Emancipator’s Enjoyment of P. V. Nasby While Waiting for Election Returns, Sc ee a nee Charles A. Dana, who himself had the keenest appreciation of humor, was ono of the very few men asso- elated with President Lincoln in his administration who understood per- fectly why Lincoln frequently turned td the pecullar humor of Petroleum V. Nasby, or rejoiced in the witticlsms of Artemus Ward—humor that many persons regarded as beneath the dig- nity of a president of the United States to recognize. Mr. Dana was assistant secretary of war in 1863-4. Mr. Dana used to say that for a man who had such an exquisite apprecia- tion of humor, Lincoln gathered around him about as grim and sol- emn a eablnet as any president ever had. Secretary of State Willlam H. Boward possessed a certain kind of humor and always viewed things tn a sunny light. But Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase, Gideon ‘Welles, secretary of the navy. and par- ticularly Edwin M. Stanton, secretary of war, had no more sense or appre- clation of humor, Mr. Dana used to say, than a graven image. Aud Mr. Dana once told me of a most interest: ing, and from one point of view, hu- morous, incident iMlustrating ‘both Stanton’s lack of sense of humor and appreciation of the true character of Lincoin. Whether or not Mr. Dana himself ever printed the story I am unable to say. “It was on the evening of presiden- tial election day, 1864,” said Mir. Dana. “The telegraph office in the war de- partment had arranged to receive re- turns from all parts of the country that could be reached by telegraph. At that tlmo the war department was in the old bullding some little distance from the White House. “I should say that about 10 o'clock— perbaps a little Iater—-Mr. Lincoln came over from the White House to get such clection returns as had been recelved by the war department. The returns were not coming in very fast, and Mr. Lineoln, deciding to remain awhtle, sat down on the old sofa which stood at the rear end ot Sec retary Stanton's office, With him was Whitelaw Refd, who, at that time; was the Washington correspondent of one of the Cincinnat! newspapers, “Pretty soon Mr. Lincoln pulled a pamphlet from bis pocket and began to read from it to Mr. Reld. Occa- sionally, he gave way to laughter and displayed other genuine evidences of being intensely amused by the humor of the article he was reading. It was as I remember one of 2 colloction of some of the humorous papers of Pe- troleum V. Nasby, the nom de plume of the editor of the Toledo Blado— humorous sarcasm that had great ‘vogue at that time, “1 saw that Stanton was getting an- noyed, and at lat he took me to one side. ‘Can you understand that?’ he asked, indignantly, nodding in the di- Teetion of the president. ‘The destiny of this nation 1s dependent upon this election. We shall know before morn- ing whether the cause of the Union has been triumphast at the polls or not, And there sits the man, around whom this election centers, on that sofa reading that miserable trasb, and laughing at It as though he were the Most unconcerned man in the United States over the results of the election. T can't stand It!” “And T sald to Stanton: ‘Tl tell you why he’s reading Nasby. it ts simply to relieve the terrific strain—mental and temperamental—that is upon him, It he did not get reltet tn that way, he would die or go crazy.’ And I do delieve that until that moment Secre- tary Stanton had uo appreciation whatever of the real reason why Lin- coln sought refuge andRonsolation tn humor in what were critical or dark moments of the war and the nation.” (Copretaht, 1910, by BJ.

His mouth watered as he recalled the suppers he had en- Joyed there before he and Hilda had quarreled. It almost seemed to him that he could see into the cosy din- ing-room with Its wollspread table; that he could smell the-pleasant odor of hot bread and crisp, bome-cured bam. ‘Then he looked at his own bare ta- ‘ble and at the floor on which were ‘the remains of the supper that had ‘been spread for him and which had been upset and scattered by the dog ‘before he came in from the fields. ‘There was a note from bis mother explaining that she had gone into ‘town with a neighbor and would not ‘be back until the following atter- noon. “The table had been generously ‘spread in antictpation of her absence, ‘Dut the dog bad eo upset things that there was nothing eatable and the wellfilled pantry of the kitchen of- fered no relief. Dabney Hawkins was ene of the few western farmers who could not cook. For a time he watched the yellow lights across the flelds and then he ptt on his hat with sudden cetermin- ation and went out, carefully closing the door behing him.

Sup- Dose you ome and cook,” he suggest- ed. Hilda nodded and he retraced his steps, suiting bis pace to hers, though the narrow path did not permit them to walk beside each other. Dabney led the way into the kitch- @n, and Hilda quickly set about get- ting supper. Under her directions, Dabney straightened the table, get- ting out s fresh table cloth and set- ting forth the plates and furnishings. Meanwhile she was busy at the stove and presently the fragrant odor of coffee filled the room. Soon this was augmented by other odors as appetizing, and when the biscult were done and taken from the pan, Hilde alipped into a place at the head of the table and they ate as only two young people with hearty appetites can eat. “Beems kind o' nice to be sittin’ here, just we two,” auggested Dabney az he passed his plate for @ second Relping of ham and eggs. “T think Ta Wke to have you here all the “Ain't got no call for jealous peo- ple,” saa Hilda tartly, “Do you want some more coffee, tor” “I want you most,” sald Dabney.

The fountain of youth is the dream of the young. At thirty the springtime of life is all but gone. Lines come upon the face, scored by cares man has not yet the wisdom to throw off; the girth becomes matter of consideration, the feet begin to lag, the stairs grow long. Then comes the regret for the quick years. It cannot have been a mere dream which came to once de Leon in Porto Rico and lured him in search of the magical island of Bimbi and the fountain whose waters gave youth forever to the hardy voyager. No longer do we seek immortality in remote geography. No longer do we look to the philosopher to give us length of years. We have had revealed to us the uselessness and the iniquity of the colon, all too late to risk its excision. We have been informed that we do not really grow old; we have the arterio-arteriosis. Humans have the ancient, aging human has always had. The years of a man are the years of his colon and his aorta. Now comes from Paris our largest hope for the years declining. Modestly, Dr. Doyen, the discoverer, announces no absolute elixir vitae. He thinks only that he is nearer finding it than any one before him. The tale comes to us in the newer jargon, unknown and magnificent. It is mycolysine which is to prolong our years to a considerable extent. It is to dissolve germs which in their activity might wreck us; it is to give new strength to the phagocytes which are the devourers of our innies. In a barbarous phrase it is to encillize, to multiply by ten, the power of our resisting agents. As we look back we can spare without regret the fountain of youth. Always to be callow might not be an unmixed blessing. But to keep forever the years of man, to hold the stores of memory, to live steadily and to live whole, to find at last the elixir of life—such as this has charm for us in these adult centuries as it had in the childhood of man. Stains Inside a Bottle I tried various things to remove the yellow stain from the inside of my cut-glass water bottle, without satisfactory results, until, the other day, I put into the bottle two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of salt, and two tablespoonfuls of uncooked rice, and after a vigorous shaking two or three minutes, the bottle was clear and clean.

SHOWS BENEFITS OF YAWNING Has Great Value In Diseases of the Throat—Strengthens Respiratory Muscles. Dr. Emil Bunzl of Vienna, in speaking of diseases of the throat and remedies, said that yawning had its great value. Yawning has recently been recommended independently as a valuable exercise for the respiratory organs. "According to Dr. Naeglh, of the University of Luctich," said Dr. Bunzl, "yawning brings all the respiratory muscles of the chest and throat into action and is, therefore, the best and most natural means of strengthening them. He advises everybody to yawn as deeply as possible, with arms out stretched, in order to change completely the air in the lungs and stimulate respiration. In many cases he has found the practice to relieve the difficulty in swallowing and disturbance of the sense of hearing that accompany carrath of the throat. The patient is induced to yawn through suggestion, imitation of a preliminary exercise in deep breathing. "Each treatment consists of from six to eight yawns, each followed by the operation of swallowing. It should be added, however, that it is quite possible for deep breathing to be overdone, particularly by persons with weak hearts and it is at least open to question whether the obstacles to free respiration, which the yawning cure is alleged to remove, are not useful in preventing the entrance of germs and other foreign bodies." If. If every man could live up to his own opinion of himself the word ignorance would become obsolete.

PATTERSON, THINKS DETROIT WILL WIN THIS YEAR 10 Manager Jim McAleer of Washington. Manager Jim McAleer, of the Senators, is sweet on Detroit this season, to perform like the Cubs—come back and win their fourth flag. He figured it thusly in a recent conversation: "When Detroit won the three pennants she did it with a burn infield, one pitcher and a decrepit first baseman. One year the pitcher was Mullin, another Donovan, while Rosman and Tom Jones, never first-class first basemen, were on that bag. been there with the flow of talk every time out. Having seen Mathewson and some of the other baseball actors, Ty doesn't think that there is much for him to beat in making good. George Morlarity may be asked to arrange a sketch for the champion swatter, and it is possible that one or more ball players would be carried to assist Tyrus entertain the public. Scattering Notes of the Diamond Connie Mack's men seem to get the hits all at one time. Gregg, a coast recruit, has done the best pitching of any of the Nap boxen. Outfielder Noojin is the latest play re to be secured by Chattanooga from Cincinnati. Wolter, Daniels and Cree are playing great ball in the outfield for the Highlanders. It seems that Vin Gampbell would have signed with another major league club had he obtained his release from Pittsburgh. Pfeffer and Beebe, two former University of Illinois pitchers, were pitted against each other at Philadelphia the other day. "Doc" Casey, tooth snatcher and former Tiger, is playing third base and managing the Fort Wayne Central league team. With twenty-two runs and twenty-five hits against Newark the Toronto team has probably set a year's record early in the season. Catcher Stange, of the Tigers, broke Ty Cobb's bat during a practice session and poor Tyrus has had to use a trange club to hit with. Tyler, Fred Tenney's new pitcher, looks good to the Boston fans. A little more experience should make the youngster a regular winner. Scranton, Pa., will spend $12,000 for a new part outside the city limits, so that it may play Sunday ball without offending the morals of the pastors. Milan, the Washington outfielder, is having his picture printed quite as often as Walter Johnson is having his. Milan is making a great record this year. Superstition keeps Pitcher Mullin from having the operation on his nose. He has been winning with the nose as it is, and don't want to take a chance to change his luck. President Ebbets of the Brooklyn club says he would not think of selling the club to Harry Whitney for $500,000. The famous horseman wants to make McGraw manager if he gets it. Ebbets is going to get a winner before he quits the game, he says. "Ida's rich uncle in California sent her a lovely brooch with her name set in costly diamonds." "How delighted she must be!" "Well, she isn't! She's just mad because her parents didn't name her Katherine or Alexandrina."—Boston Transcript. Peace is. Better Than Plenty. Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than a house full of feasting with strife.—Proverbs of Solomon, vv1:1. Greedy Miss. "Look at it this year. Jim Delhanty is a good, splendid second baseman. Bush is a good shortstop as lives. Moriarity is as keen, clever and able a third baseman as the American league has and the new man on first hasn't got to be a wonder to be better than Rossman or Jones. The pitchers all look good and the team is hitting hard. Under those favorable conditions why shouldn't Detroit repeat?" TYRUS COBB IN VAUDEVILLE Famous Tiger Player Has Received Many Tempting Offers to Go on Stage Next Winter. It is not at all improbable that Ty Cobb may go on the stage next winter in a vaudeville act of some sort. Several managers have been after him to go on the boards and some of the offers made him have been attractive from a salary standpoint. Up to date, Ty's engagements have been such that he has passed up the Thesplan proposition, but next fall he will be ready to consider an offer. Ty hasn't decided yet what sort of an act he will attempt. A monologue, baseball skate, moving picture lecture and a number of other plans have been considered, but so far the Georgian hasn't been able to make up his mind just what he wants to do. There is no doubt that with any sort of an attractive act Cobb would be a great card in vaudeville, for hundreds of persons who would be willing to pay 10 money just to see him before the foot- lights. Cobb says that he has plenty of confidence, and that he believes he could get away with anything he attempted in the line of a vaudeville skit. He has been called upon for speeches in theaters on several occasions and has Flirting at $2.50 a Word. Atlantic City—It costs $2.50 a word to flirt on Atlantic City's boardwalk. That was the record price charged by Recorder Martin E. Koffer in police court. Frank Charilde and John Lucas, two Philadelphia visitors, were the victims of the high rate. "Oh, you candy kid," they chirped to a pretty boardwalk skongirl, who promptly called a cop. When the girl told her story in court the recorder assessed each a ten-dollar bill. In addition the offenders spent the night in the city hall lockup. WAR ON BASEBALL GAMBLING San Francisco Judge Issues General Warning From Bench When Four Men Are Arrested. Judge Weller of San Francisco is issued a general warning from the bench to gamblers who 'bet on baseball games when the cases of the four men arrested at Recreation Park recently were brought before him. He was forced for lack of evidence to dismiss the cases of Leland Kroper, Joe Barton, Joe Peyser and Walter, alias "Specs" Smith, who were charged with betting on Sunday's game, but gave the men a severe talking to. "Any time you gentlemen connected with the baseball management bring a case before me with proper evidence, I assure you that I will go to the limit of dealing with the men who bet on baseball games," said Judge Weller. "Here is one game that the whole country is interested in keeping clean, and for the sake of sport only. Gambling must be shut out absolutely. You men brought before me charged with gambling on the games, have played the game at some time when you were boys and know as well as I do that the sport must be kept clean from gambling of any kind. Gambling has ruined other sports, and I am going to do all in my power to see that baseball is kent free from it." The arresting officers testified that they saw Kroper and Barton exchange money and saw Peyser and Smith making signals with their hands, but they did not hear the conversation that took place between the men. The San Francisco baseball management is determined to stamp out the evil and plain clothes men will continue to be placed at the park to see that no gambling takes places on the games. PLANK GOING BACK TO FARM Great Athletic Southpaw Says He Will Retire to Country Life at End of 1912 Season. The year 1912 will witness the retirement of Eddie Plank from baseball. At the close of the season two years hence the great southpaw, who has been a bulwark of strength for the Athletics since the American League invaded Philadelphia, will go ```markdown ``` Eddie Plank. back to the farm and the simple life. This is the word of the big left-hander himself. On the way to the ground one day recently he and Jack Coombs were talking about the strain on a ball player. Both agreed that each season, with its worry, its strain, its physical wear and its mental worry, took two years out of the life of every player each season. "Two more years," said Eddie—this year and next—and back I go to the farm to stay there the rest of my life. I shall quit the game in 1912, and all that I ask is that I have two more good years." PITCHERS' ARMS "GO BACK" Bill Bernhard, Former Major League Player, Says Throwing Wings Weaken Rapidly. "I hear ball players say that their arms are as good as ever," says Bill Bernhard, manager of the Memphis club, and formerly a Cleveland pitcher. "I hear players say that they have not gone back. This is especially true of the pitchers. Many, many pitchers tell you that the old arm is as strong as ever. My arm feels good too, this spring, but it is not as strong as ever. "It if it was I wouldn't be in the Southern League, and if the arms of those other pitchers were as strong as ever, they also would not be in the minor leagues." Coffroth Gets a New Stand Jimmy Coffroth has secured the lease of Louis Blots' boxing arena at Mission and Eighth streets, San Francisco, and will promote outdoor boxing contests there during the coming summer. Who Got "Stung." Cincinnati hasn't yet been to realize on the men she got in the four-armed swap with Philadelphia, while Beebe, Rowan, Paskert and Lobert have paid -100 per cent. in Quakertown. Too Often the Truth One of Abe Martin's sayings: "Dale Henry Moon, aged ninety, dropped dead today after splittin' six cords o' wood. His body wuz found by his four sons who were returning from a tillard tournament." Naturally. "The attempt to commit suicide is not a punishable offense under the German criminal code. But of course," says a London exchange, "if you succeed you must be prepared to take the consequences." HERE IS LUCK TO YOU!

No one, as far as the present writer knows, has ever attempted to give an explanation of the fact that when a town sits astride a river that flows east and west, the north side has a monopoly of the best streets. It certainly is so in London, as it was in ancient Rome. Glasgow is another case in point. In Paris too, the north side of the river has distinctly the advantage of the south. As for Newcastle-on-Tyne, its general attitude toward this overgrown and rather grimy quarter on the south bank of the Tyne is that of one who says, "Can any good thing come out of Gateshead?" Why should this be so? And why should the west end of every city you can find on the map be, from a social point of view, far removed from the east? Why is not Whitechapel Road Piecellady? To the unprejudiced ear the names ring with equal music—London Chronicle. "You know I had something the matter with my ears," said the man, "and I feared I was going deaf; and this morning I got the scare of my life. I thought deafness had actually settled on me.

I couldn't hear a sound, not a whisper, and then I knew I gone deaf, sure enough; but when those carloads of shouting children had gone by then I could hear the rattle of the wagons in the street and the clatter of the horses' hoofs and s' that, and then it came to me, what was a fact, that those cheering children were a bunch of jolly deaf and dumb children going on a plonic. And that was a great relief. I felt sorry for the children, but a little more cheerful for myself."—New York Sun. Bungalow Candlesticks. Novelties in the candlestick line are always making their appearance, and just now the Japanese floor lantern is the latest thing. These stand from three to six feet high, or even higher, and are both picturesque and practical. The candle is enclosed in a beautiful deep, globe to keep the breezes from the name, and as the globe is arranged to hold a large candle it will burn a long time. Virtue In Silence. It is a good plan to speak the truth when one can, but there are times when the truth should be put aside under the shadow of kindness. One is not called upon to put into words every thought that comes into the topnotk. One's dearest enemy may look as pale as a boy after a tussle with his prize oration or as doleful as a burial permit, but why tell him of it? There is no chance of a deout that he does not know it. You are not giving any fresh or valuable information. If one cannot say pleasant things, is it not much better to keep still? Truth is commendable and necessary, but there are times when silence makes a bigger hit—New Idea Woman's Magazine. Valnglorious Hen Ostrich W. F. Williams, a resident of Wildwood, complained to Chief of Police Likins that his family has been reduced to a state of nervous collapse by the incessant cackling of a hen ostrich which laid an egg the day before and had been making a noisy and valgorous exhibition of herself ever since.—Los Angeles Times.

Let All Who Wish to Keep Abreast with the Society News Watch this Column. By J. H. Arnold, G. N. D. A Great Christian. There is a certain woman on 15th street that does so much cursing and swearing that she seems to be deeply in love with it. This woman calls herself a great Christian and then has the cheek and grit to call people such dirty names as d—— and d—— fools. She is a member of Zion Chapel A. M. E. Church, and —— is just as good for her as raw meat is for a cur dog. Mrs. M. Webb is her name. Great Christian, isn't she? Next. Who Are They? Last week six young men went to a certain place to see their sweet-hearts, and it is said that all six of them had a pint or half-pint of whisky with them. After getting half drunk they asked their girl friends to go with them to a certain place. Only four of the girls refused to go out of seven. After the four girls refused them, the young devils asked them permission to stay with them during the night. Three shots were fired at these young — hounds and it would have been a good thing if the shots ind struck them. The six devils made their escape to town almost out of breath from running so fast. Any mother that would permit her daughter to keep company with such dirty hounds as these six young devils ought to be given ten years in the state prison. Such men as these are causing lots of our girls and young women to be ruined and spoilt forever. This piece was sent to the reporter by a white woman who says she saw the beginning and ending of the whole thing in her pasture last Wednesday night. The white people are watching these six young devils closely and if they make another break like this to prison they go. Two of the girls are so-called Christians. Don't ask the reporter who these persons are, as they are all well known. The six young men are S. G. J. N, etc. The girls are H. J. H. R., etc. You dirty little pups. You are good for nothing but the pen. The colored people of Lexington should remember that the Defender is read every week by white people as well as colored and the white people are watching every turn the Nro gro makes. Some of them are praising the reporter highly for the way he writes up the news of Lexington. All the dirt you do is read by white people and you should be careful. The reporter has been given the right to publish the bad as well as the good. There are twenty-three white people in Lexington that read the Defender every week and only ten or twelve colored people. Some of the colored people don't like the Lexington news and therefore they won't subscribe for the Defender because the reporter is too plain for them. Well, there is no use waiting until a man is dead before you tell him of his wrong doings. A dead man can't kill his sins after he is dead, so tell him while he is living so he will have time to repent. If the truth kills him, then let him die. Am I right or wrong? Look Out. Something Wrong. Look Out, Something Wrong. Were those girls and boys sitting on the church corner last Saturday night using such bad language? The boys had the girls hugged up in their arms in the dark kissing them. One of the girls was heard to say, "he is a pretty ____" Oh, you fast little ladies. What is going to be the end of you?

Don't forget the big concert Tuesday night, May 30th, at the Grand Opera house. Mr. David Anthony, of St. Louis, Mo. is in Lexington visiting his mother, Mrs. America Anthony. Also, Mrs. Julia Morris returned home to Lexington from Chicago last week, after spending the winter with her son, James Morris, of Chicago, Ill. Everybody glad to see her at home again.

It is hoped that all members who are interested in the work of the club will be present Wednesday afternoon, June 7, to elect the officers for the coming year. Mrs. Davis will not be our president as the state work makes it impossible for her to hold the office, and it is with many regrets that we give her up, even though our next president may be all that we can ask, for no one can ever have this work more at heart that Mrs. Davis. And she does need the rest. But we know we shall always have her heartiest support and we feel that traveling from place to place she will be of far greater value to us than bearing all the burdens and knocks she has borne during these times of discouragement. Be sure to be present at 2:30 p. m., 3530 Forest avenue. Refreshments will be served. The work of the house committee is moving along nicely. The floors and woodwork of the bedrooms have been painted. A new floor is being laid in the kitchen. New curtains for all the windows were donated by the members of the house committee. Donations sent in by Mrs. Caldwell of 6640 Evans avenue were $1, Mr. B. F. Carr, 853 East 63d street. Three chairs, one wash boiler and other articles from Mr. B. A. Parker, 859 East 63d street, for which we are very thankful. Any one wishing to send donations of any kind to this department can call up Mrs. Caldwell, Normal 3390, as she is the secretary of the house committee. All committees will be expected to make their reports at the next meeting. Mrs. Rhettie Moss and Kate Stewart of Indianapolis are visiting Mrs. Ella Johnson. They are on their way to Colorado for the summer. The date of the automobile party will be announced soon. Just get ready for it. It is something new and very, enjoyable.

IN TENNESSEE Will Be Treated to Rare Articles Each Week from One of Their Worthy Sons—Full Accounts of the Y. M. C. A. Movements and Other Race News. Our Commercial College and Religious Interests Will Be Discussed Each Week Through the Defender in Order that Our Sons Abroad May Read. By Wm. Brooks. By Special Correspondent of Chicago Defender. Chattanooga, Tenn., May 26—The Sabbath, May 7, was a pleasant and a very beautiful day. The weather in every way indeed was charming for the church goers to throng the distinctive places of worship. And with the closest attention listened to their respective divines, who so delighted the hearers with the most profound and soul stirring sermons. The choir chanted some sweet music to keenly keep alive the religious interest to its highest degrees of enthusiasm. As the birds warbling their strains of music which tell of the spring time and unfolds the book of nature's beauty and attractiveness to our gaze we hail the spring with joyfulness and pleasure. And an exceptional number of churches had their baptizing at the different baptismal fountains and the same was witnessed by an unusual big crowd at the Tennessee river and Chattanooga river. And with good order, too. Rev. E. A. Martin, pastor Quinn A. M. E. church, Sunday, May 7, preached an able sermon to an appreciative audience, who listened with earnest attention. Subject, "As Christians Let Us Enter Into Larger Fields of work for God," Text, Isaiah, 29:31. Verse, "He giveth power to the faint and to them that have no might He increasest strength." And he handled his subject masterly and deep was the impression made upon all minds relative to his ability as a pulpit speaker. William Brooks, the correspondent for the Chicago Defender. Do see him for this fine and valuable paper. We trust that the celebration of the Memorial day will be exceptionally grand this year, 1911. Yes, let there be an elaborate and interesting program rendered in the highest degree of honor of those veterans who fought, bled and died for the grand cause of freedom which we all share its atmosphere of liberty with delight. And under its banner we have enjoyed all that we have and ever hope to be. Let the floral designs be many and flowers abundantly strewn upon their graves in token of honor. We feel that every person should be interested in this universal cause, the memorial occasion. With myriad voices let all come with the great national songs and sing praises to our Almighty for His bountiful blessings to us all, Tuesday, May 30, 10 a. m., to march to the National cemetery and do all that can be done to have *children to witness these great national events and that they may be at an early age inspired to keenly keep allie these affairs and transmit the spirit to coming generations. Do see William Brooks for the Chicago Defender. It is with a high degree of pleasure that we note the fact that Mrs. Oscar Haines, with Fletter, May and Elsie Jane Haines, the girls, left the city to visit her loving and affectionate mother, Mrs. Matilda Dotson, Iota, Tenn., where the girls will spend their summer vacation. We hope their stay will be made very pleasant visiting their relatives and friends and a safe return home at will and pleasure while the watermelon grows on the vine. The faithful and bestirring congregation of the C. C. P. church, Rev James Hytes, pastor, have perfected some substantial plans to erect a new church edifice, which will reflect great honor upon said people, as they are all looking soon to see the day dawn for its course of erection. We hope them much success in their noble and most worthy undertaking and they bow at the altar of thanks to all who may give a donation for the church. The ladies are real busy in all plans to build the church. An excellent woman gone to the reward for which as a consistent Christian (40 years) she has laured. The funeral of Mrs. Maggie L. Wilson, who died May 6, took place Monday, May 9, at 2 o.m., at the First Baptist church, of which the deceased was one of its most faithful members for thirty-five years. Rev. C. A. Bell, B. d., pastor, officiated and was assisted by Rev. W. M. Moore, pastor of Monumental Baptist church, and Rev. J. E. Smith, pastor of the First Congregational church. The choir sange some selected music for this very impressive service. After a continued illness for some time the grim monster death entered this quiet home and seized as his victim, the frontispiece, the most precious gem in human form, the loving and affectionate mother and dearest wife. Now that home is overshadowed with sadness and gloom and claims of us all a beautiful flowerette wreath in sympathy as a balm in the time of distress of those who know the influence of the extending scper of sympathy. She was a member of Martha Chapter, Eastern Star Order of Ladies, for thirty years, being a charter member, for twenty-five years and filled all offices of each order with honor. The spacious church auditorium was crowded over its seating capacity long before the services began and standing room was even the cry of the many. The floral designs in abundance presented as a token of the great esteem and honor in which she was held by the many friends were exceedingly beautiful and pretty to gaze upon. She leaves a kind husband, two sons, two daughters, grandchildren, a large circle of relatives and a great host of friends to mourn her departure. Mrs. Cora B. Phillip, her loving daughter, sought and gave the best attention in keeping with the rest of them to their mother, which is to be commended. At the Green's Orphanage Home for the Little Folks, death with its mighty stroke took away from that home Byron H. B. Green, who died May 4, at the age of 16 years. We all are subject to his demand on his approach. We none can say, Stay thou, O death, thy mighty power! But at its signal we as human answer the call, "Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to thy bosom fly." And death claims his own at will. "Peace be to his ashes." Do read the Chicago Defender for choice news of today.—William Brooks. WALTERS A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. 38th and Dearborn Sts. Rev. H. J. Callis, Pastor. Our services on last Sunday were very inspiring.

Caesar White paused and gazed at the smaller negro as some tranquil ox might regard a calf that had strayed into its pasture. The negroes were toiling in the turpentine settlement under the burning rays of the Carolina sun. They sweated and panted as they filled the barrels and rolled the crude rosin up the incline of planks to the roof of the distillery where shone the great lid of the copper still. Caesar White was a good natured giant in the main, or had been until Jefferson Grant, the quadroom dude, sauntered into the camp with his collar and cuffs, and hair that shone with coconut oil. Then trouble arose for Mandy, the superintendent's cook, had succumbed to his fascinations. Jefferson Grant snuffed disdainfully and resumed his labors. Every week day, except on Mondays, the distillation went on, the crude rosin, dumped into the great sill, hissing and bubbling furiously within, though to the watcher on the distillery roof there was no symptom of the commotion of the fluid inside the 'bobler, where a half ton of rosin simmered like molten steel. To Caesar White, unimaginative in all other respects, the process possessed a fascination. He had pictured his rival dung into the caldron by the force of his mighty arms. One instant's agony—and flesh, bones, clothing, all traces of the quadron would be utterly dissolved in that fiery flow. It was a little incident that precipitated his determination. A Sunday call, a scornful word from Mandy, the sight of a lithe figure skulking through the pine trees behind the girl's hut—and Caesar White, was in the forest alone, rolling upon the ground and biting his clenched fists in a paroxys of jealousy until the blood flowed. Next day the two men were alone on the distillery roof. The quadron, under Caesar's direction, was polishing the copper lid of the still, which had been raised from its position by their united efforts for this work. Deep in the gloom under them Caesar fancied he could see the gleam of the molten mass, placid as still water, but deadly as boiling lava. As Jefferson turned he stretched out his foot lazily. The quadron tripped and fell; one push, an oath and a scream and a splash far below. Then the giant hastened away. Shriek upon shriek pursued him. The quadron wag hard in dying. Fear drove out the foreman's anger. Those shriek pursued him as he hurried toward his quarters. Shriek upon shriek; and now, peering in dreadful terror through his half-opened door, Caesar saw negroes running from all parts toward the still, from which issued those never-ending cries. Would the man never die? Could he live even one moment in that fearful torture? The giant trembled. He cast about him to fly. Where? Anywhere. Beads of perapiration sprang to his brow and the manhood went out from his weak limbs. He had thought to accomplish his deed unseen and unsuspected; and still those fearful cries resounded through the pine trees. He sank down inert and helpless on the dry ground. But, mingling with the cries, came squads of laughter. Caesar looked up agast. From the great still, surrounded by a derisive crowd, a dripping figure emerged and staggered across the camp. Merciful heaven! it was the quadron, woe-begone, from head to foot one silly mass of dripping, viscid rosin. And in front of the crowd that danced and jeered and shouted was Mandy, pointing a derisive finger at this crow stripped of his plumage, this humbled dude, her love converted into harsh and bitter mockery. And suddenly balm came to Caesar's soul. A happy smile irradiated the black's features. He chuckled and slapped his thighs. "Lawd be praised! Lawd be praised!" he shouted fervently. "I done clean fergot that we don't light no fire under de still on Mondays." "Some persons hold that a bird cannot be domesticated like a toy dog, but I know a Washington woman who has one that seems almost human in its intelligence," and a visitor from the capital. "The bird is a little green and yellow canary and was purchased for a small sum at an ordinary bird shop. But it has become extraordinarily attached to its owner. "At night the bird sleeps in a little nest in its owner's pillow and wakens her in the morning by kissing her on the lips. Then during the day it will perch on her shoulder and take naps there, often kissing her. It will follow her about like a dog. The canary is never put in a cage except when its owner is leaving the house, and on one occasion I know of from observation the woman was going out, but the bird when put in its cage actually moaned plentiously and its owner refused to leave it. The woman, by the way, has a great fondness for dumb creatures, and the bird seems to recognize and return that feeling." Kicker—They say a lion is as much afraid of a man as a man is of a lion. Snicker—If that's the case there would be an awful panic if I started out to hunt one. "It always makes me mad to find a friend taking as little interest in my troubles as I take in his."

Gadebusch, in the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, in celebration of the birth of the grand ducal heir decided to fire the regulation salute of 101 guns. An ancient cannon was hauled out for the purpose, and the firing began. Unfortunately the powder ran short after the ninety-third shot and there was no means of obtaining any more in the town. The burgomaster was in despair, especially as 93 shots indicated that the grand ducal baby was a girl. At this moment the municipal bandmaster came forward with a luminous proposal, which was eagerly accepted. He dispatched his big drum major to the market place, where he struck eight powerful strokes on his instruments to make up the 101 shots, and thus the situation was saved. A very homely clergyman was severely battered in a railroad wreck, in which he suffered the loss of a foot. One day soon after he took unto himself a wife, a beautiful woman, the ill-used minister met an old friend on the street, who banteringly asked how in the world such a pretty girl came to marry him.

One look at the boy Is sufficient to jdlepel any idea of brutality or im. proper guardianship. Mother love, in- tense, almost animal, prompted Mrs. Do Graef to keep tho child under lock | and key, to deprive bim of all but un- derclothing, and to burn trousers and jwalsts smuggled in to him by the sympathetic youngsters who lived in the same house, “There's too much badness here," Mrs, De Graaf continued. “I have seen too much of it and I dlan’t want my boy to be like the rest of them. He used to go to school, and he used to play on the streets, but I was afrald. So when we moved in here I made up my mind that I would keep him away from everything that was bad, and teach hfin how to grow up good and honest.” ‘Then another phase crept into the story. “T need that boy for myself. I have taught him how to make his mother tea and toast, and how to take care of her if sbe should take sick, or Tun and get an ambulance for her; she ald. “Are you a sickly person?” she was asked, “No} but one can never tell what ts going to happen to them.
