Agents Working in Atlanta, Ga., to Ship 5,000 Negroes in the Next 18 Months—If Chinamen Can Live There the Negro Can—If the Negro Can Live at the North Pole He Can Live in Canada—Read What This Defender Correspondent Has to Say. Mr. Prince Mills says this is a fine country. Mr. Ruffin of Oklahoma wants all to come. Mr. Washington wants more to come and come right away. I could give you a hundred or more. They are doing well and every one like this country. Some have sold their homesteads for several thousand dollars. Everything planted grows fast and abundantly. The products are sold for high prices, and the homesteader soon becomes independent. This is the place for mechanics, as there are no unions to draw the color line. All can make money and get plenty of work. This is a government for all people, whether black or white. There is plenty of land and everybody can get a share. Mr. Mills says we have plenty of fish, wild chicken, pheasant and white rabbits, all fine for food. We got the deer, moose and caribou, ducks and geese, all fine for food. Plenty of building timber and fire wood. The cold won't hurt them; all are healthy that have come. There are no snakes or poisonous insects. Everything is favorable for the man that will come. We have three or four different kinds of hay—meadow, red top, upland and pea vine, timothy and alfalfa. All carpenters and trade men needed. There will run from 60 to 70 bushels of oats, wheat and barley to the acre. Potatoes, turnips, and cabbage, finest in the world. Strawberries grow numerous, raspberries and all others, goose berries, blue berries, etc., grow abundantly. chair of the state, but I told the gentlemen to give me time to consider." Right here a reporter for the Defender cut in and asked what was his consideration, and he said, "Chi, is good enough for me. I have learned to like it better since I have been away. I notice our business has increased a lot. We had to place two big cluster lights in front to have an outlet for the cash we are taking in." MR. CARY B. LEWIS LEFT TO GO TO WHITE CITY PICNIC IN LOUISVILLE, KY. The story of boys will be boys is true today as it was years ago. An old time reunion of all the slaves, meeting once a year, which began 45 years ago, is still continued today by the younger generation. At this time the (white folks) rich people give over the city to them and they go out to some grove where Kentucky Colonels and Miss Ann would come out and mingle with them and talk over slave days. Since that time White City has been a new feature. At this park colored people are only allowed once a year, and they go from all over the state. It is to this that the editor of the Chronicle has gone, where he hopes to meet many of his home and school friends. He will be married on this occasion, it is rumored. Armstrong Manual Training School. Special to the Chicago Defender. Washington, June 16—Armstrong Manual Training School commencement exercises begin Friday evening, June 16, when the exercises of the pupils taking the two-year course will be held at the school. The program includes practical demonstrations on the stage of the work in cooking, sewing and carpentry. The address to the class will be made by Mrs. Julia W. Shaw, assistant director, domestic science, in the public schools. The certificate will be awarded by Miss M. P. Murrell, woman principal of the Armstrong school. Saturday the first annual excursion of the alumni association will be held at Washington Park. A program of track games and field sports has been arranged. The proceeds of the excursion are to be used for the student aid fund, which provides help for worthy pupils who enter colleges and for those who, seeking employment in other places, need financial aid in matters of transportation. Monday afternoon, June 19, the annual ceremony of the presentation of the commissions to the cadet officers and the awarding of the coveted letter "A" and the class numerals will be held in the assembly hall of the school. At the coclusion of the ceremony the third year students will entertain the graduating classes at a reception. On the same night at 8 o'clock the normal students in domestic art and domestic science, under the direction of Miss Carrie / Watson and Mrs. Julia W. Shaw, will entertain their teachers and friends with a specially prepared literary and manual training program. ```markdown ``` By Tom Houston. Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, June 2. —To the Chicago Defender, Chicago, Ill. Editor: Dear Sir—I am writing you a true account of the colored people who have settled in Canada and hope that you will publish same and send copies to all colored papers and especially to those in Oklahoma. This is a fine country where the people get equal rights in every business or pursuit. Those that have come are doing well; they stand the cold as well as anybody else. But it is necessary for them to plant early in May and not later than June 20. The amount of money necessary to cross the line is $25. They simply have to show this amount, there are no charges for inspection. They should bring with them everything that they have; all of their stock and cattle, also farm implements, such as plow, harrow, disk and Georgia stock. Bring chickens and hogs. The hogs are inspected by the government inspectors, which takes 30 days, after that they are shipped to owners. Little charges for feeding. They should bring all the seed and feed that they can get, as everything is high; if they bring these things with them they will find it very easy to get along. The government gives you 160 acres, easily cleared, to the man that will work industriously. The Canadian government wants them to come. They should bring some money with them and be careful about spending it too freely. The sun shines 16 hours and the weather is healthy. MISS B&R) HA' ALLENA HANSBURG IN RECITAL. One Thousand See and Hear Young Woman In Greatest Recital of Her History. Detroit, Mich., June 16—Miss Hansburg, who appeared here on Tuesday evening before a large and appreciative audience, at the Second Baptist church, on Monroe street, is the talk of the town. All her pieces were well rendered and those who assisted her shared equally with her. The Polish songs, and the ballad in A flat, opus 1, was more than fine. Miss Hansburg, it is said, will tour Europe soon, but will make an appearance in Chicago at Music Hall, it is thought, before going. Mrs. E. A. Vena Meets Success. Monday night at Bethel church can be called a red-letter night in the history of entertainments. In the one, named "Mrs. Busy's Pink Tea," under the management of Mrs. Vena, 3822 Dearborn street, her uniring efforts in the face of knocks, brought unbounded success to her, and everything was fine. Yes, more than that, the best ever given in the church this season. "The Lost Chord," by the chorus, was a dream, sung by the Misses Canada, Ellison and Ferguson, was grand. Miss Vlvian Furguson, in the pink tea, was a mammoth success. She will, no doubt, make a great star when she finishes her high school education. Miss H. Townley's solo and Mr. Will D. Williams' violin solo were great. The following took part in the tea: Mrs. Busby, Vivian Ferguson; Miss Dashleigh, Iva Canada; Miss Mary Busby, Helen Weir; Mrs. Hightone, Iva Ellison; Mrs. Upperten, Eva Anderson; Mrs. Wiscarec, Helen Smith; Annetta, Grace Broadice; Mr. Busby, Hughiar Thompson; musclians, Miss Olga Porter, Mr. Wildie Williams. MR. H. A. MACKINNON RETURNS TO CITY. Saw Flag Hanging In Front of Office and Thought It Was Meant for His Return. It was flag day in Chicago when Mr. McKinnon of W. H. Bowers & Co. arrived at his office from an extended trip to New York and through the South, not noticing along the route other flags, of course, he thought all the display was about him. He did not realize it until he began thankening the office force for their kind way of welcoming him back, when they told him that they were celebrating flag day. "Well," said Mr. McKinnon, "do you know that I have never heard of flag day down south." "That reminds me," he continued, "that on Decoration day I made a speech in Pocketbook, N. C., and my subject was the flag." I carried the town. I told of the English flag, the German flag, the French flag, and even the Cuban flag, but the greatest flag of all flags is the Chicago commercial flag. '(Great and tremendous applause.) I was offered the governor's The Chicago Defender. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1911. Commencement week will conclude Tuesday, June 20, when the annual exercises of the four-year course and the award of scholarships and prizes will be held at the New Howard Theatre, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Dr. William Victor Tunnell, of the Board of Education, will preside. The address to the graduates will be made by Hon. James C. Napier, register of the United States Treasury. Mr. Napier's topic will be "Opportunity" The scholarships will be awarded by Dr. Lewis B. Moore, dean of teachers' college, Howard University. During the week the work of the pupils in manual training, cooking and sewing will be on exhibition, as well as the exhibit of the pupils of the business department in competition for the Galt prize. Dr. W. Bruce Evans has been principal of Armstrong Manual Training school since its foundation. THE NORTH SIDE SOCIETY. By Miss C. R. Williams. Miss A. Winston left Tuesday, June 6, for her home in Kentucky to visit her mother. Rev. and Mrs. H. E. Stewart went to Wilberforce, Ohio, June 6, where Rev. Stewart preached the baccalaureate sermon on June 11 to the graduation class of 1911. They also will visit in Indiana, Rev. Stewart's old home. Bro. Jones of 912 North Franklin street, is very sick at the county hospital in ward 24. Mrs. M. Abernathy of 842 North Franklin street is able to be out and resume her duties as president of Stewardess' Board No. 2. Mr. A. F. Dickerson of 1342 Wells street is able to be around again. Mr. Jesse Butler of 1220 Stone street is able to see his friends and get around the house. He had a severe fall May 26. Concert under auspices of Section No. 5 of Hermon Baptist church June 15. Admission 10 cents. Bro. Chavis was in the state of Michigan over Sunday. The both north side ministers gave their local preachers a day's work as they both were out of the city. The local preachers showed what kind of material they had. The services were conducted without a flaw. Sunday June 18, 11 a. m. and 8 p. m., by Sister Nora Taylor, the conference evangelist. The King and Queen Bees of Wayman Chapel raised three hundred dollars to May 24. They are still out. When you see them give them a dime or a dollar. This is to clear the church and make first payment on our new parsonage. Mrs. J. Tury of 910 North Franklin street went to the country last week. Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett addressed Wayman chapel Sunday night. She was at her best, as she told the north siders of the work of the Negro Fellowship league and how she came to organize it out of the Springfield riot three years ago and illustrated how if we did not fight for ourselves no one else would fight for us, how the mass meeting at Institutional church saved Steve Green from being returned to Little Rock, Ark., and being lynched. Another meeting caused the sheriff to be removed from Cairo because he failed to do his duty in protecting his colored prisoners. She claims what we need is more volunteers that will do like Christ did and do more for humanity. It is not all to be a Christian to go to church and pray but work to lift up a fallen brother. To love God is to help humanity. The white man judges us by our criminal record and whether the person is guilty or not, he gets no jail term but state prison. And your children and my children have to bear the stigma of the bad man or woman; here in free Chicago and Illinois is the place to fight forever lynching, every case that is investigated. When you can speak and demand your rights without being burned out of house and taken out at the dead of night and shot full of bullets and in the morning he numbered among the dead, as that what happening in the south. She also said that white people did not mob us because we were black or our parents and grandparents were slaves but because we had no backbone or nerve enough to be men and stand up to fight for ourselves. The N. S. Woman's club will give a closing silver offering reception on June 22 from 4 to 6 and 8 to 11 p. m. Money is for general charities during July and August. Come and enjoy yourselves and leave a dime. MR. JERRY MILLS PASSES THROUGH CITY. Mr. Jerry Mills, late of the Pekin, now of Richard & Pringle minstrels, was in the city during the past ten days gathering scenery and stage settings for an entirely new show which they will open in Bute, Mont. Mr. Mills was the picture of health and said even the druggists shy when in his presence. Mr. Mills has a very flattering offer to go to South America to engage in the management of a new $500,000 theater. The Defender is the only paper to get this news and his friends will no doubt be glad to hear of his success. His going will largely depend on his wife. Reporters have called repeatedly at her home to find out if she would take up the proposition, but she has eluded them each time. One of our skillfully made portraits is worth, a dozen carelessly made photoographs. Quality tells every time. Peter P. Jones, Photographer. 3519 State street.

Southern Gentleman from Tennessee Going Across Told Jack He Must Not Be Too Familiar with the White Folks, He Must Be Reserved from Them—Jack Told Him If He Would Take Care of His Own Business He Would Take Care of His—Negroes to Take Part in the Coronation Parade. By Sylvester Rusgell. "A policeman begged Johnson to take a taxi. He feared that the crowd might grow unmanageable. The champion good naturedly shouldered his way to a cab, smiling and bowing to right and left, while the crowd cheered wildly and struggled for a near view of him. When the cab drove off many ran after it, while Johnson waved his hat to them." DUNBAR MEMORIAL SERVICES. Memorial services will be held Sunday afternoon, June 25, in honor of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, at 4 p. m., at the Institutional church, 3825 Dearborn street. Mr. Benjamin Washington, instructor of physics in the Armstrong Manual Training High School of Washington, D. C., will deliver the address. Miss Marie Burton, Opal D. Cooper and Harrison Emanuel will contribute musical numbers. Miss Ada Lou Mitchell, accompanist. Julius N. Avendover, manager. FREDERICK DOUGLASS CENTER STILL ACTIVE. 3032 Wabash Avenue. Mrs. Celia Parker Woolley left the city yesterday to spend the months of July and August in Geneva, Ill. Dr. Woolley joins her the first of July. The Douglass Center has the promise of two tents for two weeks' use in August at Gada Hill encampment. It is hoped also that provision may be made for some of the colored boys to join in the outing at the boys' camping grounds at Muskegon during the summer. For particulars concerning these outings for the children inquire at the Center. The social gatherings in honor of the summer students at the university will begin July 14. There will be four of these meetings, the following three on July 28, August 11 and August 25. Program will be announced later. The Sunday afternoon meetings will be resumed July 2 and continued every Sunday at 4 p. m. Mrs. Antoinette Crump Cone will have charge of the program, which will be given in detail next week. Miss Lillian Chapman left June 8 for a visit to her family in Stonington intending to be absent for about ten days, but owing to the severe sickness of her mother she will remain until the middle of July. Mrs. Edna Johnson, the leader of the Boys' club, will make her home at the Center during the summer and dispense its hospitalities. Mrs. Woolley returns the 23d to give the graduating address at the Marshall High school and will be present also at the students' meetings. Her address will be Geneva, Ill. Leland Glants Honored by Race Men Robert T. Motts, owner and manager of the Pekin theater; David Manson, corporation expert; Prof. Wm. Emanuel, president Emanuel College of Chrippody; R. S. Abbott, owner and editor of the Defender; Louis Carey of the Chronicle, and several others were among the race building men of the race at the game Sunday. These men do not believe in optional nor enforced jimcrowism. Would to God there were more men of this callier in this town who would talk less about jimcrowism and other wrongs of segregation and act like men and support racial enterprises. MR. AND MRS. JAMES S. MADDEN Celebrate Their Twenty-fifth Wedding Anniversary One of the most pleasant affairs of the season was the celebration by Mr. and Mrs. James S. Madden of their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary on Friday evening, June 9, at their residence, 5711 Wabash avenue. There were about seventy-five guests present. A reception was held from eight to ten and cards from ten to eleventhirty, after which a delicious lunch-on was served. The present consisted of silver coins. Mrs. Julius N. Avendorph, assisted by Mr. Smith of Glen Elyn, won the first prize; Mrs. Ed. Washington of Glen Elyn and Mrs. C. King were tie for second prize and in the cut Mrs. King won. Mrs. Ed. Mead and Mrs. Lightfoot were also tie, and in the cut Mrs. Mead won. The strangers present were Mrs. John Lightfoot and Mrs. Robert Fisher of Cincinnati, Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. Clark of Batavia, N. Y., and Mrs. Azalia Hackley of Philadelphia, Pa. The bride and groom seemed as happy as if it were but yesterday that they were united. ROMANCE VS. REALITY The parlor lights were burning dim, He looks at her, she looks at him; He whispers, "Lantern of my life, Elope with me and be my wife. "For you, dear heart, I'd gladly die, For you there's nothing I'd not try; I'd scale the mountain's snowy head, Or dip the river from its bed. "I'd build in some delightful dell A rustic home where we could dwell, And there we'd ever live in ease As happy as two bumble bees." "Suppose," she said, "your dreams go wrong. Quite often discords mar a song, And many promises are made That only need the wash to fade. "I've known of men who married maids And promised homes in sylvan glades, That are their honeymoon was spent Had not the coin to pay the rent. "Now all this mushy talk is rot. If you want me to share your lot, When sober say you'll treat me right And lodges won't keep you each night. "Admit that when you draw your pay To me you bring it all farway, Not give me half and say, 'My dear, I spent the rest of it for beer." "Don't think that I will cook and scrub And wrestle with the washing tub, And wear old clothes and made lids, And rear a brood of shabby kids." The parlor lights are not so dim. He looks at her, she looks at him; He takes his hat, says nothing more, The night wind sighs, she slams the door. Miss Eliza Sengstacke, Savannah, Ga, who wrote this poem, is a sister of Mr. R. S. Abbott, editor of The Defender. She is a graduate of Beach Normal, also of the Georgia State College, finishing grammar school, normal, and a full college course before she was 20 years of age. ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE HOUSE-CLEANING. Enterprise Institute, 3711 State street, has begun to take on a different hue. It is being beautifully decorated throughout and the furniture cleaned and renovated. Tuesday morning lagers' Pig Ankle College, 3225 State Street, caught fire and the entire building was gutted. Pig feet, cut fish, chittings and hog snouts, all in the college rep classes, were thrown into the street, and blocked traffic, for about an hour. PRICE 5 CENTS 8,000 TICKETS SOLD FOR 8TH REGT. FIELD DAY Great Preparation Made. by the 8th Regiment for Field Day on Tomorrow—It is Estimated That More Than 20,000 Tickets Will Be Sold—Advance Sales Have Already Reached the 8,000 Mark—Up to Thursday, 10 p. m.—Fifty Excursions Bringing Over 5,000 People, Will Come From Out of Town—Great Excitement Over the Entire City. RED AND BLUE ARMY READY FOR FIGHT. Lookout for Defender Great War Balloons with the Red Army and Its War Correspondence in Both Armies—Moving Pictures of Both Armies Will Be Shown—Both Armies Are Full of Spies—Defender Reporter in Camp of the Red Army Made the Great Discovery—Gov. Deneen Will Be With the Blue Army While Hon. Ed. D. Green Will Be With the Red Army. The Defender takes great pleasure in informing its readers of the great preparations being made down the state and in Indiana by thousands of visitors coming to the city beginning Saturday. Every road into Chicago will run an excursion. So great has been the demand that the roads have made great inducements, by making a three 'ys' lay-over on all tickets bought on either Saturday or Sunday. Both armies when seen by our reporters were ready to fight, some of the men were seen fighting their shadows, so eager were they for the go. Col. John R. Marshall has issued orders for the supply wagon to be within five miles of the firing line and the men only to take a day's rations and 1,000 rounds of ammunition. Mr. R. R. Jackson, with his forty machine guns, hopes to play havoc with Maj. Denlson's brigade, while Capt. Pinkney, with his Rod Devil scouts, hopes to pick up enough forage along Armour avenue and Dearborn streets to supply the whole of the Blue army. Capts. Betts, Alexander, Hunt, Hill and Arnett will use the Defender balloons to discover the enemy. The seal and only program of the entire day is only published in the Defender, as given below: The Eighth Regiment Official Program, Band concert, Eighth Regiment band, Sergt. Wm. E.

Jackson commanding. 11.—Dress parade, the regiment, Colonel John R. Marshall commanding. MME. AZALIA HACKLEY DRAWS LARGE CROWD. Mme. Hackley on Thursday at the new Appomattox Club was at her best. She has never appeared in grander form in the city at any time during the last twenty years of her coming here. The beautiful club house auditorium was packed, and even the stairways and billiard hall were packed. The silver offering was good. The only objection our reporter had to that was, it looked like robbling Peter to pay Paul, when the ladies would let their escorts pay the silver offering. If a 3-cent silver coin is found among the change the Defender reporter knows who did it, and he will publish the giver in the Guew Who column next issue. THE GRACE CHARITY CONCERT The concert at Grace Presbyterian Church, under the auspices of the Missionary and Ways and Means Societies, was a huge success, both by way of finance and attendance. Mr T. Theodore Taylor, Mrs. Sloan, Master Clarence Lee, Mr. V. Boutte, Mrs Lewis, Mr. Wm. H. Hackney, Mr Manson and Mr Blair deserve special mention for the artistic work along their respective lines. This prgram should be repested by all mean "Forgotten Land," by Mrs Lewis, wa more than rendered well. Each week will be print won, names of winners and meeting. Challenges will b clubs in and out of the Negro Porters to Displace Whites in New Northwestern Depot. By J. R. Winston. "Don't inquire into a hungry man's history." Mr. Richard Edward Coleman, 448 West 54th street, New York city, in dining car service over Erie to Chicago, was a visitor at the Bachelors' club June 10 and said that his wife, Mrs. R. E. Coleman, had fallen in love with the Chicago Defender and on his next arrival he would subscribe for the same. "The greatest victory goes with the most faith." So you who are race loving people I have to advise you that you should read and subscribe for the Chicago Defender. "When a man has lost confidence in himself he has nothings to do." Mr. C. B. Lontague, 54 Ferry street, Hoboken, N.

Any one who is too cheap to pay up a three months' subscription should go back to the tall and uncut timber and should I meet with any of such promises I will expose them to the public. I am not five minutes off of you and half of that time is up, and no two for one goes. By the law of affinity you may know that your own is always seeking you if you are seeking it with all your努力. Permit no one to tell you that the Chicago Defender is not the people's choice. Find another paper which comes right out in defense of its race more so than the Defender. I am whole heart and soul with the Defender, and if you are in arrears, pay up, because the company can not run this paper on "hot air." We are looking for business and in order to do business we must have the money, so pay as you go and don't have us put you on the dead beat list and publish you. Remember this, eliminate the grouch or the grouch will eliminate you, and no physical beauty can compensate for an explosive temper. Now, men, think well of all I have said for it is for your own good. Its Degree. Mrs. Blowit—Are you planning an expensive gown?

Far away in the central Himalayas lives a tribe of nomad shepherds whose very origin is a matter of conjecture. They are known as Galdals, and are as distinctly separate from the other tribes of these mountains as the Ainos from the Japanese. They were once dwellers in the plains, but at some remote period were driven to the hills, and they are now confined to the western Himalayas, where there are extensive grazing grounds. Here they are partly tillers of the soil, as well as shepherds, for their women-folk, who do not accompany the flocks work in the fields, and some of the men also remain in the villages to assist them. They are fine hard men, these Gadis, and their women are sometimes beautiful. They scorn the use of tents or shelters of any kind, and provided only with a blanket of goat's hair, which they make themselves, and which is practically waterproof, one and all of them remain for months together, at altitudes varying from 18,000 to 17,000 feet, exposed to snow, wind and rain, without ill effect to their health. It must be remembered, however, that they are trained to it, for the boys, at a very early age, are made to accompany here in their wanderings—in the World. Cleaning the Inside of Shoes It is possible to clear the inside of shoes thoroughly, and the process will appeal to neat women. Take an old tooth brush which has been thoroughly cleansed with hot water and washing soda—or a new brush, for that matter—wet very slightly, soap it enough to make light luds, and with it carefully rub and clean the inside of your shoes. It is not necessary to get them very wet. The chemical action of the soap does the work. Let the suds remain a few minutes, then rinse with the brush in the same way, put the shoes on entilated shoe trees to dry in the air, and they will be as fresh as a new pair—Harper's Bazaar. less. This day learned that the curious club meets at certain times in the garret of Tom Dawes, the adjutant of the Boston regiment. He has a large house and he has a movable partition in the garret which he takes down and the whole club meets in one room. There they smoke, tobacco until you cannot see from one end of the garret to the other. There they drink flip, I suppose, and they choose a 'ator who puts questions to the garret. The garret, collectors, fire-wards and rescuers are regularly chosen before chosen in the town.—From ms' Journal. Jones Has Tried Various Things, including Matrimony, and Has Not Yet Done Paying. "How much did it cost you to get your education?" asked Jones. "Well," said Smith, "let's see. My primary education was cheap—say, $500. My secondary training was about twice as much, while my college course amounted to something like a thousand a year, or four thousand in all. Then I had three years at a technical school, at about the same rate—so all in all, my education came to about $8,500, or $9,000 at the outside. What do you figure yours cost?" "Well," replied Jones, reflectively, "I guess mine was rather more expensive. I went through college, but I didn't have any technical training. Up to that point we are about equal. Then I went west and got interested in a gold mine. That bit of knowledge cost considerable. Next, I tried stock raising, and found that a pretty expensive school. Before I was finally graduated from that I took a hand at the theatrical business, and learned at lot fairly high rates. There was a little girl in the company, though, seemed to think I hadn't got all the knowledge that was coming to me, so she put me in the matrimonial school. Not having graduated from that yet, I can't give any final figures, but I can tell you this: the higher up you get the more it costs. After a while the kids came along, and they taught me a whole heap, but the bills were high. For twenty years or so I worried along on this kind of schooling, and then my oldest girl got married. Her husband thought he'd like to try to teach me a new skill, but in the next few years, at the cost of about $5,000 a year. Then pretty soon they had a couple of kids, and my own children didn't taught me they did. The answer is--Hey, there where are you going? I've only just begun to tell you about my education." But already Smith was far down the street, with his fingers in his ears, fleeing as though from the wrath to come—Success Magazine. Fortified Monastery. The most strongly fortified monastery in the world is Solovetsk, in Archangel, Russia. This monastery is inclosed on every side by a wall of granite boulders and measures nearly a mile in circumference. The monastery itself is very strongly fortified, being supported by round and square towers about 30 feet in height, with walls 20 feet in thickness. The monastery in reality consists of six churches, which are the repositories of many valuable statues and also of precious stones. Upon the walls are mounted huge guns, which in the time of the Crimean war were directed against the British White sea squadron. The monastery who held monastery at that time marched in procession on the granite walls while the shells were flying over their heads, to indicate what little fear they had of an attack by the British fleet. Thousands of pilgrims come annually to Solovetsk from various parts of Russia to view the churches and the relics. They are conveyed in steamers commanded and manned solely by the monks.—Harper's Weekly. Wife's Place in Japan. One of the proverbial Japanese expressions characterizing the island empire is that it is "the land where the day would not dawn without the tender sex." This is a plain admission of woman's mighty influence, and refers indirectly to a mythological story of the sun goddess from whom the imperial family is supposed to have sprung. In Japan in early times the wife seems to have had her full share of the respect of the husband. Instead of "taking her to wife" the earliest Japanese word for marriage means "the union of the man and woman." The woman, after her marriage, continued to live with her parents and her husband visited her daily. As soon as his means permitted he built a new house and the wife came to live in it with him. Even to this day the word shinzo, "newly built," means wife; that is, the woman who occupies the domicile, especially erected for her comfort. In the civil ceremony of marriage, in which the sipping of rice wine is the prominent feature, the bride drinks first, the cup then being passed to the bridegroom. —Oriental Review. One of Sir Evelyn Wood's Stories. Some forty years ago at Aldershot the camp was commanded by Sir James Yorke Scarlett, a Crimean veteran. On the occasion in question he was directing some sham fighting. In a manner then usual he was leading a line of skirmishers of one force against another, many yards in front, as in earlier times he had led the Heavy Brigade at Balaclava against three times its numbers. To a soldier of the younger school it seemed a posterous proceeding, and Sir Evelyn ventured to criticise it. Sir James replied: "Young man have I not ordered you twice to hold your tongue? If I like to lead my skirmishers, what the hell is that to? Sir Evelyn replied: "Ten thousand pardons, sir, but it is the enemy's line in retreat you have been leading for the last ten minutes." He was short-sighted and did not wear glasses, so was unable to see the distinguishing mark, a sprig of heather worn in the shakos of the troops he was attacking—Westminster Gazette. Might Afford Sugar In Candy. Wine, said a sarcastic Frenchman, may be made from many things—even from grapes. Our confectioners are just waking up to the idea that even sugar can be used in making candy, and with sugar at five cents a pound, or thereabouts, and candy at anywhere from 20 cents to $1 a pound, it does not seem as though the use of sugar as a material for candy were commercially impracticable. The census indicates that the manufacturers are getting nearly ninety million dollars a year for the candy they produce, and presume, therefore, that the consumers pay more than two hundred million dollars a year to satisfy the demands of the national sweet tooth. HOTEL NEWS All Up-to-Date Hotel News and News of Bell Hops. By S. Adams. Wm. Matthews left Chicago for St. Paul, Milwaukee, about two weeks ago, but found business so dull he hastily returned to the city of the winds and says "Chi. is good enough to live and die in." "Nuff said." John Adams of Fort Worth, Tex., in Chicago booking a crew of colored waiters, barbers, cooks and chambermaids for a $2,000,000 hotel in old Fort Worth.

James King, head cook for several years at the Boody House in Toledo, O., is no longer identified with said hostelry, having resigned said position to accept a more lucrative one as head cook at the Hotel Jefferson in the same city. The Jefferson management is to be congratulated, as Mr. King is one of the finest cooks in the business. While in Toledo, O., the reporter's headquarters was at the Hotel Pleasant, and he is delighted with his resurrection. The Hotel Pleasant is one of the best constructed, furnished and managed colored hotels in the state of Ohio, modern throughout and managed exclusively by negroes. P. H. Wood is proprietor. Said hotel is located at Nos. 10-11 Erie street. GOOD NERVES OF GAMBLERS Necessary Part of the Professional Equipment that Supports Such Success la Imaginable "It has always been held that stealthy nerves are about the most valuable qualification a man can have to fit him for playing poker successfully," the gray-haired young looking man in the club smoking room said. "The man who allows himself to get rattled under any circumstances when he is playing is not likely to get the better of the other fellow. But if this is true now in New York it was more conspicuously and preeminently true some twenty or thirty years ago in some other parts of the country. And especially was it true with regard to professional gamblers. "There is a widespread belief that a professional gambler will not hesitate to cheat at poker if he finds he is likely to win a square game. And if this is true and now, as I believe it to be, it it's been truly true at times and places in which public opinion tolerated if it did not approve killing the man who was caught cheating at cards. That is precisely what public opinion did in many parts of the United States not so many years ago. "All this being understood, it is easy to realize that the profession of card playing in the west called for the exercise of such nerves as the average man has not. He who adopted it was almost obliged to be skilled in the use of weapons, and as a matter of fact the most of the professionals were so skilled. Rather Rough on the Neighbors. Many brain workers find at times a distinct need for some violent frolic or escape to relieve their pent-up feelings and overstrained nerves. One such man has a preference for banging door; another for playing the "Dead March in Saul" with one hand; the other with the other's work, will go round the neighborhood ringing door belts; whilst a fourth, to steady his nerves, will dash a teacup against a wall. It seems an idiotic thing to slap a cabman's face to relieve one's feelings, yet this is what a well-known actor does; and he does it in such a gentlemanly fashion, and pays so liberty that the driver sedum takes off defense. He Made an Army. A noteworthy example of patience in small, things is to be seen in the recent acquisition of the invalides of some eight thousand little soldiers made of cardboard and mounted on little wooden stands, says the London Globe. It is the work of M. Paul Schmidt, a Strasburger, and represents the stations stationed in the famous cathedral city in 1848. Infantry, cavalry, artillery, voltigeurs, zonaves and barracks firemen are represented, and these had taken part in the conquest of Algiers. For the most part, the enemy was not aware of the concerned, the faces are true portraits and at the back of each figure the name and rank of the party is to be found. Walnuts From France The best walnuts in the world—at least they have that reputation—are those grown around Grenoble, France, and a singular fact about them is that at least three-quarters of the entire production are transported across the ocean to be eaten in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and other large American cities. The calcareous soil of southeastern France appears to be particularly favorable to the walnut. On the rising land at the base of the French Alps the nut trees often become cultivated forests. The finest variety is the light-colored shell, and a broad, flat base, on which it readily stands upright. Cinematograph in Great Britain. Great Britain imports from the United States a majority of the cinematograph films used by it. It costs from 6 to 50 cents to see a moving picture show in Great Britain. FACES ARE ALTERED BY FOOD Specialists Say That The Contours Are Changed From Plain to Pretty, or Vice Versa. You can, according to the opinion of an American expert, alter your children's features by varying their food. Your little daughter, for instance, has too heavy a face, too massive a chin, and you are afraid that she will grow up unpropreseasing, cease to give her foods with starch in them, and she will become dainty and graceful. Should she, on the other hand, be too slender of feature, with a tiny chin, you can develop rounded curves by giving her more starch than she has been having. "Man is what he eats," says this expert, and he then mentions such divergences from the normal facial type as "starch chin," "onion chin," "tea drinker," "flipped sugar mouth" and "potato lip." These divergences, he says, are caused by the articles of diet named. "The food eaten makes an enormous difference in people's appearance," a Bond street beauty doctor who has had several years' hospital experience, said, "and though it cannot alter the framework of the adult face it can that of young children while their bones are still growing. "The child who has too much starch develops puffy flesh all over the starch, then appears too massive. "Such a child should be given more nitrogenous food, such as meat and green vegetables containing the proper mineral building up strong, well-shaped bones, and much less starchy food, such as rice, potatoes or white bread. "Such vegetables are spinach, spring cabbage, turnip tops, celery or carrots. By their action better muscular tissues are built up over stronger bones, and the result is alert, dainty features. "If however, the face is too thin, most starch should be given, as well as prebiotics and the vegetables I have named, and then the rounded contour so necessary to beauty will be built up." How German Girls Learn How would an up-to-date classroom girl like the following hint from a German critic now in this country? "Why do not struggle country parens with small salaries help themselves out by taking charge of city young women?" In Germany it is the custom for a girl to pass a year between school and society in the country in the home of some clergyman who can oversee her reading, while his wife inducts her into all the masters of the housewife arts. The plan was advantages. It is more practical than our course in domestic science, for the woman only takes a hand in all the work of the household from the laundering to sausage making. Free from the distractions of home or society, or even of the classroom, she can devote herself single minded to the business in hand. Her first timid experiments are ventured out of range of the jeers of brothers and sisters and of the mother's unconscious assumption that she is still a little girl. When she goes home it is in the full blush and dignity of housewife completeness, a graduate into mature life. Drastic Reminder. Women usually find ways of having things done when they want others to do them, and a North side woman seems to take the prize, if the tale of the husband can be believed. Recently the wife gave him a sealed letter, with instructions not to open it until he reached his office. He did as directed. "I am obliged to tell you something that will pain you," the letter read. "There is, however, no help for it. You shall know all. I have felt for some time that it must come to this. I can remain silent no longer. The bear part of this trouble yourself, and it does not overwhelm me with reproach." The husband's face was ghastly, and cold perspiration stood on his brow. He was prepared for the worst. Trembling, he read on. "I have asked you to order a load of coal. Maybe you will not forget it this time." The coal was delivered that afternoon—Pittsburgh Gazette Times. The Legion of Honor. After the vote for adding a second ten years to the duration of Bonaparte's consulship he created, May 19, the order of the Legion of Honor.

Corse Binga. The sailor of the old-fashioned, shellback clays always wears a corpse rine. This is a plain band of silver or gold, inscribed within with the sailor's name and port. Corpse rines are worn for purposes of identification in case of death by shellback clays. Such rines, the shellback sailor can never swim and he looks forward calmly to dying suddenly beneath the sea. Indeed he usually prefers such a death to a lingering one in hospital. Timely Caution.

Canton, China—Threading the narrow, dark, winding streets of Canton it is easy, winding the traveler to imagine that he has been suddenly transported into some forgotten century. There is no large city visited by the tourist that is so entirely native in its aspect—that is so entirely immersed in its own peculiar civilization. Canton looks practically the same today as it must have looked nearly six centuries ago when the celebrated Venetian adventurer, Marco Polo, visited it and wrote his vivid descriptions of its curious turbities. Among the quaint survivors of the famous water clock must take a prominent place. This is a primitive form of time register and hour glass worked by water. To visit it the stranger makes his way along the picturesque and crowded street of the double gateway in the old city. Here are the largest and most fashionable book stores, and it is this street that is the most favorable haunt of the literati. The double gateway itself pierces a section of a very fine old wall dating from the seventh or eighth century and above it is seen the curious erection in which the Stepsdrya, or water clock, is housed. This consists of four large copper jars, each of which rests on above the other in such fashion that the top one is filled the water flows very slowly, drop by drop, into the next one and then on into the lowest. In this last one is a float to which it attached an indicator or measure. . Water Clock and Attendant. takes exactly a day of 12 hours for the contents of the top jar to be emptied completely into the lowest. As the water steadily rises in this last receptacle the float points to the hour marked on the indicator. The archaic time guage was first erected about 1324 A. D. It has a history full of incidents; it has been destroyed many times during invasions from without and rifts within the city. It has always been restored, so that today, in spite of the advances made in mechanical methods of measuring time, we find the old water clock in practical use it was 500 years ago. For at intervals during the day (more or less) correct time is exhibited on a board outside the building and the native Chinese are quite content to pin their faith to this unique servant of old Father time. AMERICA IMPORTS PREACHERS Does Our Own Country Produce No Men of Great Larning and Piety? New York—Germany and America regularly exchange university professors and France and America ex change university lectures, but there is one form of learning talent which we seem only to import and to have nothing to exchange for. We ask a great many preachers from England, but England rarely asks us to send and of our return in. What had already imported Rev. Dr. William R. Rainford, Rev. Dr. Hugh Black, Rev. Dr. S. Parks Cadman, Rev. Dr. Charles Aked and half a dozen others, has now brought over still another British preacher, Rev. J. A. Jowett. Why is it necessary to go abroad for ministers to fill the best-paying pulpits in this country? Is it because America is producing no theologians, priests, or pulpit orators competent to take the highest positions? Is it pleasing here, or learning? Is it because the Christian preacher's voice, pronunciation and tone is less pleasing that the English clergyman or haply because the home-made parson is less familiar with our temptations and needs? No Longer Have Small Feet Boston, Mass.—Women's feet are growing larger. A Massachusetts shoe manufacturer is authority for the assertion. He says a few years ago the average feminine American buyer of footwear asked for a No. 4. Nowadays most women take a No. 3 or a No. 6, and in some cases, if white shoes larger sizes. The width is greater, too, the increase of lasts and pegs thinks the increase of activity of women in the last few years, their taller stature, vouchered for by investigators, responsible for the passing of small feet.

Of the unpleasant drinking customs of certain nations in New Guinea, Walter Goodfellow writes: "We did not find the people down by the coast nearly so tractable or companionable as those at the headwaters of the river. They were also much more quarrelsome among themselves. They tap a species of sugar palm up the river and make fermented drink out of it. On this they get fearfully intoxicated and wild orgies take place all day. Parties of them would go off in canoes and sit under the palms from which the drink was obtained. In the morning they would return extremely drunk, and lights used to be the result. "Sometimes these fights lasted for two days at a time. In our vicinity they more often than not took place at night. The natives then made such an indescribable din with their howling and their noises that we could not sleep at our base camp. Spears and showers of arrows were discharged in all directions and one could hear the sound of their axes dealing blows on the bodies of the combatants. "After a time the women would join in the fray and their shrill voices added to the babel, making the noise greater than ever. When they became involved in the figs they seemed to be worse than the men. The cries were not like sounds emitted by human beings, but rather like the cries of animals."

WHEN AUNT CALLY GAVE UP Worm Turned at Last on Ironing "Mia' Portly' Voluminous Skirts." Aunt Cally belongs distinctly to the type of "born not made" launderies. She loves her ironing board exactly so wide and just so long. She wants plenty of blanket and sheet on it so the embroidery stands out clear and she carries her own piece of beeswax in her apron pocket. Maybe she is in that piece of wax, for she has carried it always, it seems. The irons worm well for her because she selects them at just the right heat and then she administers a little pat which she calls "taein" 'em," applies a little wax and off they go, making the linens look as if they were polished. But Aunt Cally, like other artists, has not escaped trials. She likes to see her work grow and has pride in counting the number of pieces she can do in a day. The trouble is, she has washed a long time for a woman of tremendous proportions and she has become discouraged. "I done stop washin' fuh MIS Portly!" she announced the other day. "Why, how can she get along without you? About ten years you have done her washing, isn't it?" "Yas'm. I don't know'm what she goin' do. But, I jes cain stan' it no longer.

ARTHUR AND OLLIE REESE'S AF- FRICANDA'S GIVE ANOTHER GOOD SHOW AT THE PEKIN. Reese Brothers' Africanda's gave a ministrel first part that was full of life and ginger at the Pekin Monday night. The house was filled and the popularity of the show continues unabated. One of the cleverest things on the bill was a comedy steam callope duet by the Reese Brothers which made an electric hit. Miss Beasley sang "Just for You, Babe," in good dance style. Tom Davis did some fascinating mimicry in recitations. Miss Blue sang "Kiss Me, Honey" and Elanor Wilson sang "Baby Face" to good effect. Creo in a mystifying illusion completed the bill. Next week Sylvester Russell. The usual flow of merriment was at its height when Billy McCarver stepped upon the stage. As one of the Georgia Crackerjacks of years ago he and his late brother Howard, were leading minstrel performers and went through the regular course of olden days in being taught how to be a performer. Billy McCarver today is what we term a regular actor and a first-class comedian. His wife has a good singing voice, a fine personality. The Bruces returned, still popular, and gave a good performance. Mr. Bruce gave exceptional feats in roller skate dancing and the dialogue with his wife, who is fascinating and hands over a song in good style, was all pleasing. Of the white performers, Mr. and Mrs. Perkins Fisher pleased greatly in the "Half Way House." Sol Berns was a good Hebrew entertainer and Davis & Payne, a musical artist and blind pianist, gave ample satisfaction. The orchestra now consists of Tobe Brown cornet, Wright Smith violinist, Horace George clarionet, Miles Harris drums, and Dave B. Payton, Jr., leader and pianist. Delightful! — were the words expressed as Manzie Campbell followed his partner, Mr. Warfield, off the stage. So very original is Campbell and so musical is his voice that all his comedy flows with ease and humor inexpressible. Mr. Warfield danced most gracefully. "The Sun Do Move" was the 'moving spirit' of Manzies song. Shelton Brooks returned thoroughly popular in one of his well-liked specialties, of the present. But what of the future? The Four Spades danced well; in fact, they are very good performers, but I should like to whisper one or two words in their ears. Frankle La Marche, a pretty white ex-opera singer, with a buster dog, added to the pleasure of the program. The Dorsey Sweatman Receives orchestra nearly worked overtime. Next week, Billy Kersands. Incidental Music With Pictures at the Phoenix. The Phoenix Theatre has taken a leap into popularity. "The Flag Didn't Rise" and "Cattle Thieves" were sensational and highly colored pictures with incidental music and, Ed Goodbar, an exceptional tenor, sung illustrated songs. The orchestra consists of Arthur Brown Chua, Mitchell and Hattle, May Patterson. There are different pictures every night. Hannond and Paul Reeve picturs, and C. C. Hammond is manager. The general manager of spiritual center in Chicago in Chicago will appear on Monday evening, June 19th, as follows: June Reeve concert at Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church. Sylvester Russell at Mott's Pekin Theatre, singing "If I Forget," June 19th and week. Madam Lizzie Hart at the Monogram, singing "If I Forget," June 19th and week. The original and only Billy Kersands will make his first appearance in vaudeville at the Monogram Theatre June 19th, and week. Bailey and Bailey, booked over the Sullivan & Considine circuit, opened at Toledo, Ohio, June 12th, with Detroit to follow.

She Wanted to Know At one of the public schools in the city of Hamburg a little girl eleven years old asked her teacher who named Adam and Eve. It's what we'd all like to know, but as the teacher couldn't answer the question she complained of the child and had her punished, and lost her place as teacher in consequence. The school board said it was all right for anyone to find out if he could. Can you tell? Colonial School Days In Colonial day school buildings were small and uncomfortable. Benches were without backs, the desks only a shelf in most cases and oftentimes there was only the bare earth for a floor. The hours of study were long and the play hours few and only.

Rivulets and the Rivers All are to be men of genius in their degree—rivulets or rivers, it does not matter, so that the souls be clear and pure; not dead walls, encompassing dead heaps of things, known and numbered, but running waters in the sweet wilderness of things unnumbered and unknown, conscious only of the living banks, on which they partly refresh and partly reflect the flowers, and so pass on—Ruskin: The Stones of Venice. Ingenious Old Clock Wells (Eng.) has a wonderful clock one of the oldest in the world, which dates from 1325. When it strikes the hour four knights on horseback go riding round, and the seated man kicks two small bells with his heels, as he has been doing every fifteen minutes for nigh on six centuries. This clock was the work of Peter Lightfoot, another monk of Glastonbury. Do Not Dwell in Harmony At Sutton, in Norfolk, a mavis and a blackbird have started housekeeping on the co-operative principle, laying their eggs (in the same nest.

But the enterprising parents apparently insist on giving the scheme a fair trial. Only Married Men Count.

Everyone Else Is Asleep, You Are Helpless and Isolated and the House Is Full of Strange Noises. Did you ever wake up at some unknown hour and listen for the clock to strike and experience a great sense of relief that it counted four instead of two? You knew then that things would be stirring before long; that the milk wagons would soon be going past, and that you weren't to remain the only person awake west of New York. It is insisted that the first three hours of sleep are the soundest of all. However that may be, it certainly is a fact that if you get to sleep at all you rarely awaken before two o'clock. Besides, the early part of the night isn't particularly lonesome. You know that people are getting home from the theaters and that up to say, one o'clock, the town is just settling down to sleep. But when some noise, or what you ate at dinner, arouses you to hear the clock strike two, you are overwhelmed by the feeling of your own helplessness and isolation. Nobody else for miles around; you feel quite sure, can be awake for any good purpose. The house is full of curious creaks and groans. What is that strange noise in the next room? It must be the window shade flapping in the wind. Of course, it must be. Still, it might be somebody moving ever so stealthily. You lie perfectly quiet and listen, straining your eardrums for some peculiarity of the sound that will settle its character. Yes, it is the window shade. But now comes a crash from the kitchen—a distinct crash; no trick of the imagination. Did you lock the kitchen window before you went to bed? You think you did, a haunting doubt comes over you. Maybe it was the cat. But wasn't the cat put down cellar? Possibly the cellar door wasn't quite latched. The cat might have got back into the kitchen. Now one of the children sneezes—sneezes repeatedly. He didn't seem to have any cold when he went to bed. Perhaps he has kicked the clothes off. You would better go see. No, he is covered up. Why should he have sneezed? Can he be coming down with pneumonia, or scarlet fever, or something? A good many serious diseases begin with a bad cold. Perhaps he is feverish. You feel his hands. They do feel hot—or are you own cold? You give it up and go back to bed. Could you get the doctor if you needed him? You strain to listen for more sneezes or for the restlessness that betrays a fever. No, there isn't anything. Once more the clock strikes—one, two, three. Only three. If it were only four morning would be near. You are worn to a frazzle by this time. You know you never can get to sleep again, and the worst of it is that you don't dare thrasher around, as you would like to for fear you might waken your wife. Thank goodness, she has slept through all these terrors. You start to counting, get to 47, and then forget to go on in the strain of listening for more noises. You are on the verge of despair. Can it be that the clock is striking again? Yes, seven, and it's morning. You had dozed off, after all. Isn't morning great? And isn't the hour from two to three the dismalest of all the 24?—Kansas City Times. Some Rare Designs. The demand among the wealthy American women for rare and costly china is keeping the great china factories of the world working overtime. The greater part of the china manufactured, it is reported, is shipped to this country. Society women seeking to have something new and original now have hit on having plates of rare design for every course. "This fashion," said an importer, "has been set by women who can afford to pay $10,000 to $20,000 a set for rare china. Those women wish rare and different designs and they are willing to pay for them on condition that no similar designs are sold in this country. Service, fish, game and entree plates now are being included among the table china in the best stores. Even at that women come to us constantly seeking new pieces and offering to pay large amounts to get something new for the table." Got Some Silight Revenge. An incident worthy of melodrama occurred a few days ago at a London (Eng.) prison. Recently a clever swindler, Alfred Moody, had been imprisoned for a long series of frauds on people whom he engaged as cinematograph operators or money-takers, and demanded security for their honesty. One of his victims, a man named Bell, finding himself stranded, obtained food for which he could not pay, and was sent to prison the other morning. To his surprise, while there, he came face to face with Moody, and recognized him as the man whom he had entrusted with $50 and who had been the cause of his downfall. For a few minutes the men started at each other blankly, and then Bell, thoroughly enraged at the thought of his wrongs, took the law into his own hands and administered a severe thrashing to his enemy before the astonished warders could interfere. A Reminiscence. Booth Tarketing was talking in Indianapolis about the stage. "There were two actresses in an early play of mine," he said. "Both very beautiful; but the leading actress was thin. She quarreled one day at rehearsal with the other lady, and she ended the quarrel by saying haughtily: "Remember, please, that I am the star." "Yes, I know you're the star," the other retorted, eyes with an amused smile the leading actress' long, slim figure, 'but you'd look better, my dear, if you were a little meteor.'" The Sporting World DIAMOND DUST. The Leland Giants are out of the city. The ball game at Leland Giants park tomorrow will be between the Normal Parks, who will be the home team while the Lelands are away, and the Auburn Parks. A good game is expected. Did you see the game last Sunday? It was a corker and intensely interesting. The Artisians put up a good stiff battle until the sixth inning when the Giants tied the score, and in the fatal eighth put three more runs across the plate, making the score 6 to 3. The Leland Giants won their first game at West Baden Monday by a score of 5 to 2. Redden the Leland's southpaw artist, was too much for the drudels. The Boosters were at the show at the Pekin Tuesday night and pronounced it an amusing entertainment. Everybody get ready for the game. Everybody get ready for the boys from New York, the Buffalo Giants. HAIL TO GREAT UNWASHED! Get a Good Crust and You'll Be Healthy, Says Founder of New Aristocracy. We who take our tub as a duty, our hot bath as a religious rite, and our Turkish cleansing as a sacrament, may no longer be an aristocracy. Our foundations of hot and cold, soap and towels are assailed. The founder of a new aristocracy is Sir Almroth Wright, and the washed are to be submerged by the unwashed; the cleanly few representing an old system are to fall before the oncoming black horde. "As to washing," Sir Almroth says, "there is a belief that by doing people wash off the microbes. We do take off a certain amount of microbes, but we also destroy the protective skin which is all around our bodies like the tiles of a house." Again: "When one has a horny hand, no microbes can ever get near the skin. If one has a skin like a tortoise, microbes will never get through. To have a Turkish bath is to take away one's horny protection. A great deal of washing increases the microbes of the skin, so I do not think cleanliness is to be recommended as a hygienic method." The untubbed heroes of tomorrow may reach heights of efficiency of which we never dreamed, but it does not follow that their presence or passing may be more fragrant than that of the generation they superseded.—London Outlook. Business Methods in Charity Charitable associations in Frankfort, Germany, operate lodging houses, restaurants, eating rooms, canteens for the benefit of the poor, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. They are conducted on strictly business methods. Dinner—soup, meat, vegetables—is provided for a fraction more than eight cents. Until the recent increase in prices for foodstuffs the meal was, given for less than eight cents. Lodging is provided at from thirty-eight to sixty cents a week. A Barber-ous Idea. In Chicago a voice has been raised against the cat's whiskers, which are alleged to carry microbes. The future may develop barbers for cats, for it is not to be supposed that in this age of enlightenment and fads cats will be permitted to go about with microbeladen whiskers.-Judge Why Father Goes to Lodge "Father sometimes goes to the lodge," Ewing Herbert explains, "because he is a good deal more important there than he can ever hope to be at home." Many Have Felt Like Tha Little David had a quarrel with one of his playmates, and when giving an account of it said, "Oh, I would have hit him if it hadn't been for his strengthfulness."—Exchange.

Salmon Boc for Caylar Owing to the diminishing supply of sturgeon caviar, Siberian fishermen have been experimenting with salmon roe, a commodity that was formerly thrown away as valueless or even injurious to health. Phone Oakland 2459 Madeline R. McFarland FINE MILLINERY Feathers Cleaned, Dyed and Curled HATS BLOCKED 4732 State St. CHICAGO PHONE DOUGLAS 3578 IDA M. DEMPCY Stenographer and Typist 3716 Dearborn St. Chicago, M. German Heirs of Wealth Missing for Centuries Sue Dreeden Bank for $17,500,000. With a view to tracing a huge inheritance lost for centuries, a syndicate has been formed in Cologne and has retained some prominent German lawyers. Several members, of the relchag are connected with the scheme, which is built up around the vanished estate of Baron von Oruhohn, a field marshal in the Dutch army, who died 234 years ago. This search has its counterpart in a series of Bavarian mysteries dating still further back, and curiously enough also dealing with Dutch fortunes left to German relatives. In the latter case the descendants of four separate families, have joined hands in an effort to acquire the fortunes left to them. Here are the main facts upon which the various claimants hope to establish their right to the vanished $17,500,000. In 1636 George Schleder, a German emigrant from the Moselle country, died, leaving about one and three quarter million dollars to his family. In 1644 Andreas Joas, Schleder's son-in-law, died, leaving $3,500,000 to relatives in Bavaria. In 1707 Johann Joas, a nephew of Andreas, died, bequeathing nearly a million dollars to the same Bavarian family. A year previously a Spanish governor named Jails died at Antwerp, leaving five millions to relatives in Bavaria. Finally Joseph Pongratz, who, like the two Joasses and Schleder, lived and died at Amsterdam, left $7,000,000 to descendants at Sechausen, Germany. These fortunes have gone astray. That they once existed is beyond all doubt. The heirs of Johann Joas are ready to show that the Augsburg lawyer testified to the arrival of the million on May 2, 1785. The hopeful ones in the case of Jais hold a document; registering the banking of their ancestor's fortune in an Augsburg house in 1786. The beneficiaries under the Pongratz will have even received small cash advance from this fortune during the centuries which have elapsed. Once, for instance, a lucky descendant actually succeeded in obtaining a quarter of a million dollars. This was in 1791. As recently as 1855 an Augsburg banker named Halder confessed on his death bed that he made his fortune out of the missing Pongratz millions—that the money was in fact lying in his safes. The would-be beneficiaries put forth every effort to obtain their due, but in vain. The Halder business has lately been amalgamated with the bank of Dresden, and the descendants are now suling the latter concern. Patriotic German Cook The kaiser's patriot cook Karl Jadecke, a highly salaried official who played an important part in the emperor's campaign for purifying the German language, has just died. Jadecke was the first imperial cook who scornfully rejected the flattering title chef, and called himself by the old German Mundkoch. In collaboration with the kaiser, he worked out a complete dictionary of translations of the names of dishes from French into German, and it was under his regime that menus disappeared from the court and Spelsekarten, printed in Gothic letters, took their place. The German language league, a very powerful organization, regarded Jadecke as a hero, and wanted to make him its honorary vice-president. The only dish for which Jadecke could find no German equivalent was mayonnaise; but he got round that difficulty by spelling it "Melonneise," thus giving it a German touch. The whole staff of the kaiser's kitchen turned out at Jaedicke's funeral, and a speech was delivered lauding him as "an honest German namer of German things." Butterflies Without Heads Two European scientists have been making some curious experiments on caterpillars, the value and meaning of which have not yet been explained. They had the curiosity to find out whether a caterpillar can turn into a butterfly if you deprive him of his head; also what will the butterfly be like? By tying ligatures behind the heads, the caterpillars were decapitated. This didn't seem to bother them much, except that they didn't crawl as fast as before. The greatest difficulty in the experiments was in getting the butterflies out of the chrysalis; most of them died, and it was necessary to help the others out. The butterflies thus obtained did not differ from the normal type—except for having no heads. "Hard as a Garfish" Slogan. A woman looking over costly jewel cases in one of the most expensive of New York shops the other day was struck with the beautiful, ivory like finish of a number of them. "What are they made of?" she asked admirably. "Garfish skin, madam," answered the salesman. "Garfish leather, we find, is very little known about outside of the trade and yet it has come to be of importance. It not only can be worked up to this polish, but it is wonderfully hard. They say cortain tribes of Indians knew its secret and that among them it was used as armor, the tradition being that a breastplate of it would resist any tomahawk or arrow. It can be made now so that it will turn the edge of a knife or a spear." Collaboration in Sermon Writing. A method of sermon collaboration which may exercise great influence upon the vexed problem of church attendance was recently tried at Los Angeles. Nine ministers of that city got together and produced one sermon and on the next Sunday nine congregations listened to the same sermon, one of the best they had ever heard. Such a plan makes good use of diversified gifts. One preacher may be skilled in the use of illustrations, another particularly happy in literary and historical allusions, a third a master in theology, another gifted with evangelistic fervor, and so on through all the elements that may enter into a sermon—Leclair Weekly.

June—A month for marriages.—Webster. Have you ever noticed what clothes observers women are? Nearly time to begin spending week ends at the "West Michigan summer resort." Why make a fuss about Garrard and the Jews—did you know the negro suffered worse. They are holding coronation rehearsals in London and wedding rehearsals in Chicago. The 31st street nuisance still continues. When it's too late, don't forget that we told you so. There is always room at the top. Thermometer makers must have reckoned on this hot spell when they made their wares. We are expecting a telegram any minute from Jack Johnson stating that the King knocked him out of an invitation to the coronation. "To the victor belongs the spoils" is the slogan of the democrats. We are glad to see that the colored brother who "stuck" is getting in on the pie. The solons in Washington are preparing to break up the egg trust. We hope they will make the fine large enough to make up for the bad ones the grocer gave us. In the big military carnival Sunday afternoon we are informed that 50,000 rounds of ammunition will be used. We forget to ask the colonel if they will be real bullets or shams. Horrors! Suppose someone on the grounds is half shot. Stonewall Jackson's grandson a graduate of West Point. The world applauds. Sergeant Carney of Massachusetts, grandson, because of his color could not join the marine corps—the former a rebel, the latter a Yankey. What thanks. The hundredth anniversary of the birth of Harriet Beecher Stowe was celebrated by many in the larger cities of the United States. What she has done for the negro race is too well known to repeat here. She was our friend in all that word implies. While we are perfectly aware that the weather has been exceedingly warm, and that it isn't absolutely necessary at this time to wear your flannels, we would calmly but earnestly suggest to some of the young ladies we have seen on the street that a transparent costume is usually only worn on the stage. A delegation of negroes representing the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People called on President Taft and urged him to send a special message to Congress recommending action to punish lynchings under the federal law, since the state laws wink at them. The President refused to interfere in the matter. Cary B. Lewis (with emphasis on the Bee), the prolific scribe of the "Chronicle," has wended his weary way to his old home in K-Y-key. The broad Quaker Oats smile on his face led us to believe he was going down there for something more than just seeing the old folks. If anything happens, girls, we will get out a special. He is expected back in ten days. The appointment of W. T. Vernon as Educational Commissioner of Oklahoma disposes of one good man who heretofore loomed up prominently as a candidate for the Haitian Commission, W. T. Francis, backed by the high officials of the Northern Pacific railway, the governor of Minnesota and a number of the senators, is very much in evidence just at this writing. The woods are full of good men who could creditably fill any position the government could offer. The St. Louis Star is having a duck fit over the discovery that one of the young social bloods married a refined and beautifully educated girl who is suspected of having a drop of colored blood in her veins. Collins, her husband, is but 19 years old, so it became the duty of the frate father to at once have the marriage annulled on the grounds of the boy being under age. Collins says he will be his own master in two years and assured his sobbing wife he will come back and claim her if he has to marry her over again. It isn't a good idea for the so-called southern aristocracy to probe too much into their family relations. No telling what they might discover about themselves. Representative Rodenbery of Georgia while riding in a street car in Washington, D. C., found that he was being crowded by a negro and his true southern blood, sub, being overheated, engaged in a fist fight with him. Two years ago Representative Helfin of Alabama had a similar mixup and shot two men. Before that Senator Money of Mississippi used a knife on a man asserting his idea of law and order. The man, a Southern Congressman, who have control in the House, of passing a "Jim Crow" law for that district. Are we informed rightly about Washington being the seat of our government? CURIOUS BALLOTS OF WOMEN Shopping Lists Among Things Put in Envelopes by Female Voters. "What I liked about my old position," said the cx-secretary of a woman's club, "was the opportunity it gave me to see some of the funny things women put into their envelopes when taking a vote on anything by sealed ballot. Sometimes they left the ballot out altogether, but usually it accompanied the foreign enclosure. The majority of those enclosures were shopping lists, and had wanted to the mean I have not many an interesting sidelight on a member's private economies. Other careless voters put letters into their envelopes I never read any of them, but, judging by the fuss they made about getting them back, those letters no doubt furnished pretty interesting reading. "One real romance grew out of mistaken ballots. A flighty young woman sealed up a marriage certificate in her envelope. She had been married three months, but nobody knew anything about it, and maybe we wouldn't have found it out yet if she hadn't been so proud of her marriage certificate. She put it out and look at it every few minutes, and so got it mixed up with her ballot. The assistant secretary opened most of the envelopes that day. The marriage certificate came to her, and the sight of it turned her head. "Why, what is this?" she said. "Who has been getting married?" "Everybody in the room heard, and there was that certificate fauntured right before their eyes, so of course the wedding couldn't be kept a secret any longer. But I noticed that all the members were a little more careful about voting street car transfers and private correspondence after that." HE TACKLED THE WRONG MAN "Confidence" Worker Made Mistake In Seeking to Entrap an Experienced Traveler. A tourist who has recently returned from America gives a description of his meeting with a "confidence trick" man in New York, says London Opinion. He writes: Sunning myself at the hotel entrance, a gentleman with jewelry came up with outstretched hand. "Ah! How are you, colonel?" he said, with effusive geniality. "You remember me on board ship?" I knew him by instinct for the "confidence man" who prowls around to entrap the stranger, and had rehearsed in my own mind a little comedy for his benefit. "Remember you? Rather," I said, wringing his paw with force. "And I take this as very good of you. You've come to pay me back that $5, I guess." Theellow's face was a study. "I—think you're mistaken," he gasped. "Dunno 'bout that." I replied, "but there's evidently a mistake somewhere." Tableaux—Two men gazing at each other, each with head cooked slightly on one side and left eye half closed. Pause; succeeded by a broad grin on each countenance. "Confidence man" turns right about face, and without a word walks rapidly across the street, eyes on me before, that he never set eyes on me before, and that he retired. I fancy, thinking I was in the same business as himself. Saved by Beer Barrels. If Felix Madel, a five-year-old patient in a New York hospital, lives he can thank a pyramid of beer barrels in the rear yard of his tenement house home. He fell five stories from the roof last night while playing leapfrog and struck the apex of the beer barrel pyramid. The barrels rolled away under him, breaking his fall, and he sld down gradually. Greatness. The man who thinks he is truly great isn't unless he puts in part of his time thinking other things. MME. T. D. PERKINS, CELEBRATED HAIR AND SCALP SPECIALIST. The Defender feels itself proud to pipe to its readers the business visit of Mme. T. D. Perkins of Denver, who came to investigate the merits and demerits of your only paper. She was so proud of the report, not from the office, but from railroad men along the line, children, and even married ladies, that she says she was forced to detrain in Chicago for a day and kill two birds with one stone, and continued her trip to Philadelphia, where she has over 2,000 customers. Mrs. Perkins' ad. will appear on the last page of the paper, making its first appearance in any paper in the city. While in the city she was the guest of Mrs. F. P. Harris, 3643 Nennon avenue, late of Denver, who came to Chicago for her health, and who, by the way, that her hair was made to grow by Mrs. Perkins' wonderful hair grower. Mrs. Haris is reputed to own more real estate in Denver than any other family. Her pile runs beyond the $150,000 notch. She subscribed for the Defender the same time her friend contracted for her big ad. on the last page. Mrs. Harris says that she always bought the Defender and often longed to have it come to her home, and-to-day she, like you, will rock and read. Both ladies left the office well pleased with the Defender. HORACE GETS A FLUTE HORACE GETS A FLUTE HE SEE8 HIMSELF PLAYING ON THE CONCERT STAGE. But Mother and the Old Horse Disapprove of His Efforts and Father Squeiches His Musical Ambition. It was an evil day when Horace finished getting enough subscriptions to the Boy's Companion by working his rabbit foot on the neighbors, for as soon as he had secured five subscriptions Horace added 40 cents to the collections, per advertisement, and got a flute. It was never intended either by nature or the Goddess of Music that Horace and a flute should be combined. They mixed and mingled and accorded about as nicely as a lead bullet disintegrates and dissolves in skim milk. But for many weeks Horace had dreamed of that flute with all the fervor of dreams that inhabited the somnolent brain-pan of a fifteen-year-old boy with musical aspirations. Horace wouldn't have admitted it for the world, but within his narrow chest his heart beat high with hopes, born of visions of himself, clad in irreproachable evening dress, standing on a stauglightly lighted and playing to a crowded house that applauded until the canvas flies flapped in the breeze of their approval. The flute was included in the picture. It was a fine flute, worth probably 75 cents. The pasteboard box said it was made of cocobolo wood, but you could take a pin and scratch through the cocobolo to the yellow poplar beneath. Also it was bound with massive German silver hands. Horace tricked the flute at once. His mother, who was in the act of lifting the sheaf of the soup kettle, forgot what she was doing and dropped the lid with a crash as the steam rose and scalded her. She descended upon Horace, her fingers wrapped in her apron, which as any woman knows, is the remedy for injury. "What-in-th'name-of-all that's good-and-wonderful," she said, "are you making that awful noise about? And what that's you've got in your hand?" "It's my flute," said Horace proudly. "Well, take it and flute somewhere else," said Horace's mother with decision. Horace went sorrowfully toward the barn and sat upon a keg. He essayed "Coming Thro' the Rye." Old Sam, the faithful family horse, had been dozing in his stall. He had been dreaming of days gone by. Then it happened. With a snort Sam arose, trembling in every limb, and with one leap broke his horse's mane, dashed through the stable, smashed across the wood pile and, breaking through a wire fence, disappeared with supplemental snorts down the road. Horace looked about him gullily. Clearly the old horse was getting nervous. But sturdy he set to work to learn "Coming Thro' the Rye." The sound brought Horace's father out of the lot where he was setting fence posts. The echoes of "Coming Thro' the Rye" died away. Horace's father approached with steady step. His extended hand was steady. His eyes were steady. His jaw was steady, too. He took the fite, walked to the door, and cast it into the wide, wide world. Then he poured to the field. "There's eight feet there," he said. And Horace followed the general direction of his finger—Galveston News. Nature's Kindly Vell "We surely need not wonder that mist and all its phenomena have been made delightful to us, since our happiness as thinking beings must depend on our being content to accept only partial knowledge even in those matters which chiefly concern us. If we insist upon perfect intelligibility and complete declaration in every moral subject, we shall instantly fall into misery of unbelief. Our whole happiness and power of energetic action depend upon our being able to breathe and live in the cloud; content to see it opening here and closing there; rejoicing to catch, through the thinner films of it, glimpses of stable and substantial things; but yet perceiving a nobleness even in the concealment, and rejoicing that the kindly vell is spread where the unintermed light might have scorched us, or the infinite clearness weared."—John Ruskin. Russian Tyranny Unbearable universitary. Dr. Vinogradoff, the Oxford professor of juridicapure, initially began a course of lectures at Moscow university, where he once filled the history chair, and has explained why he had to abandon this enterprise and how much of the trouble in Russian universities arises. "I personally considered it impossible to lecture in a room surrounded by policemen with loaded rifles, and so did many of my colleagues. When the Moscow university made representations to the government in the sense that it was impossible to have two sets of authorities—the academic authority and the police authority and when the rector, the assistant rector, and the officer resigned their administrative offices, they were dismissed from their professorships. Twenty-four other professors and lecturers then resigned." Her Family Plates. One collector of antiques is more certain than ever now that by no means is sentiment for sale in Massachusetts. In his excursions in Duxbury several plates especially attracted his attention as a connoisseur and finally he said, "Madam, I will give you $20 apiece for those plates," to which the old lady replied with a touching pride, "Those plates have served in my family for 50 years. My mother and my father have eaten from those plates. They have served me, my living relatives and my friends. Do you think that I would part with them at any price?" The connoisseur retreated, inwardly admiring the proud old lady of Duxbury. Mr. A. E. S.

The beautiful poem which appears on the first page is the product of the sister of the editor of this paper. She has over 300 poems which she has written during her four years in college and the six years out, and it was with much difficulty that this one was stolen out of her desk. She claims that they are not worth publishing, but we feel that they are, and had this one stolen and published. It is the first time any of her work has been seen in print. ALAS! THE POOR DUCHESS She Thought Wealthy Couple Were Making Sport of Her Wedding Present. Recently, when the wealthy Mile, de R. was to be married, one of our good duchesses had to make her a present, just a little present. The duchess thought it would be useless to expend much money for a person so rich. She thought if she would look through her vast mansion she would be able to find something, some trinket, to which the addition of her card would give sufficient glory. She finally found in her writing desk an insignificant cameo that she had once worn. The following day she received from her young friend a letter of enthusiastic thanks: "Oh, you have been very foolish! This is too, too beautiful," etc. "She is making sport of my little present," thought the good duchess. Then came a second letter, this time from the husband who was to be: "How can we thank you? We are delighted. This will spill us." "The impertinent fellow," said the duchess, "he wants me to understand that I have been niggarly." Nevertheless she went to pay a visit to the R's before the marriage. There in the midst of the presents, exposed in a most prominent place, she saw the little cameo placed upon her card. An old gentleman approached her. He was a member of the Academy of Inscriptions and Bellcletretters. "What a wonderful present you have given these children. Madame la duchess," he said. For forty years we have been seeking for this very cameo. It is of the era of Trojan, and this trinket is valued at two hundred thousand francs." Ah, the poor duchess.—Le Cri de Paris. Modern Slang Classical. Canon Horsley's point that "real old slang or cant is the conservator of not a few Saxon words, was illustrated at some length by Hotten, who quoted from Latham the dictum that "the thieves of London are the conservators of Anglo-Saxonisunis," Hotten notes that "dodge" is from the Anglo-Saxon, and "gadding" for roaming appears in an old translation of the Bible. To call a thing "crack" in the sense of excitement, was not a vulgarism in Henry VIII, but a noblemen used to "get their dander up" on appealing to their swords. At some time "to bone" was quite respectable English for "to steal," a clergyman interrupted at Paul's Cross would bind the disorderly person "hold his gab," and "gallavanting" and "fabbergasted" were equally reputable. TRAINING IN GOOD MANNERS Begin When Boy Is Young, and Po- liteness Is Bound to Become Second Nature. Long before I had any sons of my own I made up my mind that, if I ever had the training of a boy, I should begin, as soon as he could understand anything, to teach him the small things that constitute good manners. So many boys I have known, and men, too, who at heart are good and kind and really refined, yet lack so large a part of the little courtestes that have hard to believe they have been well trained to most cases it is the fault of the mother. She feels that it is much more important to form the character of a little boy, that his manners can wait till he is older. The result is that one sees boys and men who rarely forget to, be poite outside of their homes, and yet seem to think it unnecessary to treat their own mother in the same way. My view is that there is no need to neglect the character because you pay attention to the manners. I think I have succeeded. As soon as my first little boy wore trousers I taught him that he must take off his hat as soon as he came into the house or when a lady spoke to him in the street. That he must rise from his chair when I came at the dining table, must never and all the other little polite ways we like to see in men. I am any trouble to keep him up to these things; he learned so young that it soon became second nature.—Harper's Bazar. The Standard Yard In 1855 there was completed a gunmetal bar, representing the imperial standard yard of Great Britain. It was found, however, that standards made of bronze or gun metal were liable to an appreciable alteration in length through molecular and other changes, and accordingly a few years ago, the imperial standard was replaced with a bar of fridle-platinum, consisting of 90 per cent. platinum and 10 per cent. fridulum. This new alloy is less alterable than bronze. The new bar was made of an X-band cross-section to combine rigidity with comparison lightness, and for one year it was subjected to a series of tests and measurements involving the most refined methods known to science. The bar has marked on it the length both of the standard yard and of the standard meter.—Harper's Weekly. Classified Mall. "Good morning," the young woman said as she stepped to the window at the post office. "Is there a letter for me today?" "I'll look," the clerk answered. The young woman blushed a little, and she added, "It's a business letter." The man inside the window took up a handful of letters and looked them over hastily. Then he informed the customer that there was nothing for her, and with great disappointment all of his fellow employees, she went away. In five minutes, she was back again—this time blushing more furiously than before. "I—I deceived you," she stammered. "It—it wasn't a business letter I was expecting. Will you please see if there is something for me among the love letters?" To Keep a Bed From Damp.

The myth of the infant Hercules who strangled two serpents in his cradle, may not have been a myth at all, but a fact, says the London Telegraph. Modern science has proved that it is quite a possible feat. The new-born babe is relatively much stronger than a full-grown man, according to the result of medical tests: "The muscles of the forearm are surprisingly vigorous. A few hours after birth a baby suspended by its finger to a stick, or to the finger of a person, can hold itself in the air for ten seconds, and, in the case of particularly strong infants, for as long as half a minute. At four days old the child's strength has increased, and the time is two and a half minutes for 98 per cent. of babies. The maximum is attained at a fortnight. Few infants can hang on for more than one and a half minutes, though one exceptional young Hercules remained suspended for two minutes and 28 seconds by his right hand. After that he still hung on with his left for 15 seconds longer." It is not stated whose babies were put through these horizontal bar gymnastics at the early age of from one hour to a fortnight. Care of the Attic. Few attics are ceilled, but if they are not light the walls and the beams should be treated to a coat of white paint or whitewash. Once a month the floor should be swept.

They gave distinction to rustic swabs at the engine company's dance and made the sobered-sided devout turn their bonneted heads in church to see who was coming up the aisle. They gave timely warning of the schoolmaster's approach and signaled to the postmistress that some one had called for the mall. The justice of the peace invariably wore double soles, which squeaked loudly with authority. The parson in prunella galters stepped lightly to a sound like that which comes from a mouse in a closet. But everybody wore squeaky shoes and boots. They came that way. The reason a shoe squeaks is because of the movement of one tanned sole against another. A peg driven into the center of the sole will stop the squeak, although the shoemaker's method is to place a layer of thin cloth or paper between the soles before they are sewn. Use of Attar of Roses. More than $50,000 worth of attar of roses is brought into this country every year. The best is from roses grown near Constantinople. Not only does this bring a higher price than the product of the Bulgarian rose fields, but its superiority is recognized by a separate classification in the trade. Where does the $50,000 worth of this oily perfume go? Some of it as "base" for other perfumes, and some of it where few suspect—to the manufacturers of smoking and chewing tobacco. The Pursuit of Beauty I know not that if all things had been equally beautiful we could have received the idea of beauty at all, or if we had, certainly it had become a matter of indifference to us, and of little thought, whereas through the beneficent ordaining of degrees in its manifestation, the hearts of men are stirred by its occasional occurrence in its noblest form, and all their energies are awakened in the pursuit of it, and endeavor to arrest it or recreate it for themselves.—Ruskin: Modern Painters. Our Mental Horizon In childhood we fancied ourselves walled in by the horizon, as by a glass bell, and doubted not, by distant travel, we should reach the paths of the descending sun and stars. On experiment the horizon files before us, and leaves us on an endless common, sheltered by no glass bell. Yet 'its strange how tenaciously we ecling to that bell-astronomy, as a protected domestic horizon—Emerson. Made Her Think Pattence—I see England has 28 railway tunnels of a mile or more in length.

It is the age of gold, without being the golden age. C Fred Toney, Chicago's New Pitcher. "Another Amos Rusie," is the way the Cub outfit talk about Fred Toney. He possesses a huge, powerful frame and has speed to burn when working. But Chance hasn't given Toney an opportunity to spoil himself. His first lesson in the Chance school was to learn how to pitch a fast-breaking ball overhand, and Mordecal Brown taught him this in rapid manner. And not only has he been coached by Brown, but Jimmy Archer, Tom Needham and Johnny Kling have been at work preparing Toney for the hill. Chance took Toney around the eastern circuit, not to work him regularly, but to give him a chance to look over the array of hitters that a pitcher must face in a long siege. Toney is an observing youngster and the trip did him a world of good. He has got accustomed to the great crowds and the novelty of his first trip in big league company has worked off. In all probability Chance will use Toney quite frequently when he gets settled down. Toney is anxious to display his wonderful speed, and the care that Chance has taken in preparing him for this summer's campaign is certain to prove advantageous when the Tennessee giant strikes his stride. Can't See the Pirates. "Can't see the Pirates with a Lick telescope," is a common expression among ball players. ANOTHER "FIND" OF THE YEAR. "Germany" Schaefer Is Hitting and Fielding Better Than Usual—Makes Pleasing Figure. One of the finds of the season is Germany Schaefer, of the Washington. When he announced that he was going to become an outfielder and get a regular berth in the suburbs, he was chided for using valu- Z Herman ("Germany") Schaefer. able oxygen, but he is fulfilling his own predictions. His hitting and fielding have been fine, and his base running and general versatility in a game make him a most pleasing figure in the line-up. Sure Sign of Sobriety He awoke in the morning, and with shaking hand tenderly caressed his aching head. He was bothered by the idea that he had taken too much to drink the night before. "Sam," he inquired of his friend, "was I very drunk last night?" "Certainly not!" exclaimed Sam. "You displayed such judgment as could be shown only by a sober man. Every time the waiter brought in a bill for the drinks, you passed it on to somebody else."—Popular Magazine. in observing youngster and the trip did him a world of good.

Can't See the Pirates. "Can't see the Pirates with a Lick telescope," is a common expression among ball players. Scattering Notes of the Diamond It does good to lose once in a while. The question is, should the ball be blamed? Roy Corhan appears to be the sensation of the season. These hitting bees have an unsettling effect upon managers. Paul Melon continues to make himself solid with the St. Louis fans. Jimmy Callahan is proving every day that he has "come back" to stay. Even Christy Mathewson gets his drubbings in these days of the lively ball. Manager Tenney believes the cast off Cubs are good enough to help the Doves. The cork center ball will make life miserable for pitchers and outfielders this season. Only the size of the grounds is keeping Ping Bole from breaking into the home run column. If Ty Cobb and Sam Crawford were on speaking terms, perhaps the results would be different. Reulach is still a member of the Cubs' staff, and is beginning to look like a real pitcher these hot days. Frank Schulte is peeved since all these National leaguers began to usurp his title as the "home run Kid." Briscoe Lord does duty in the left for the Philadelphia team when there is a left-hander on the slab, and Amos Strunk goes to the field when a right-hander performs. Some neat figuring on the part of Connie Mack to get his full batting strength. A Poise. "Dear Philosopher," writes a correspondent, "will you please settle a dispute for us? A and B makes a wager as to which can 'shoot' the most rabbits. The contestants take different territories and hunt all day. At the time appointed they meet. A has no rabbits at all, but B has an animal which proves to be A's pet cat. Who wins?" It is hard to decide this bet. In view of the fact that B gets not only A's cat, but his goat, we should say that A should buy the cove oyster. A Pósar. PASSING OF GREAT PITCHER Sam Leever, Recently Released by Pittsburgh, Had Remarkable Career. —Twelve Years a Pirate. The recent release of Pitcher Sam Leever by Pittsburgh marks the passing of the last remnant of the old Pittsburgh team as it was made up before the consolidation of the Pirates and Louisville, when the National league circuit was reduced from 12 to 8 clubs. Until the season of 1907 brought a deal with Boston, Leever had one old comrade of the late 90's in Clarence Beaumont, who was finally let out of fast company by Chicago. Leever's career has been a remarkable one, and shows the old Pirate to have been one of the greatest pitchers in the history of the game. For 12 full seasons and part of another pennant race he had been a member of the Pittsburgh team and until the flight of time cut him down to emergency roles, a few years ago, he always ranked as one of the most successful slabmen in the majors. Indeed, there is one feature to his record that put him in a class of his own, for he was champion pitcher of the National league no less than than three times-1901, 1903 and 1905-while his name also appeared at the head of the list in two other years, though he did not participate in a sufficient number of games to earn the title of leader. Leever, who is now thirty-eight years of age, was secured by the Pittsburg club of the Atlantic league, W. H. Watkins being then manager of the pirates. Sam was troubled with a sore arm and pitched only one game that season, but the following year he was back with bells on, and from that time on ranked as one of the greatest fingers in the business. Since joining the Pittsburg team Leaver pitched a grand total of 290 games, and while this is not as much work as some other veteran heavers have done, the records of few rivals are to be compared with that of Leever in the all-important matter of percentage of victories. Of those 290 games pitched, Leever won no less than 193 contests, against only 97 lost, for the remarkable percentage of .666. KONÉY WORTH HALF OF TEAM Maanger Roger Bresnahan of Cardinals Wouldn't Trade His Star to New York Giants. Roger Bresnahan, manager of the Cardinals, was all worked up the other day over the report that he had gone to New York to close a trade in which V Ed Konetchy Ed Konetchy was to figure. Bresnahan denied the report hotly. "I would not trade Ed for half of the New York club and McGraw thrown in," was the way Roger put it. "You can put this up as strong as you like: I have absolutely no intention of letting go of Koney. My visit to New York was on business, but not in relation to Koney." Will Train Together A plan to have the Cincinnati National and Boston American baseball teams do their spring training together permanently in some southern city and share the expense, has been agreed upon by the owners, according to announcement made. It is proposed to establish a training camp with a clubhouse to be used jointly by the teams and with two baseball fields near by. Instead of depending on hotels, the players will have their quarters and eat at the clubhouse, under the direction of the trainers. A gymnasium will be a feature of the clubhouse. Few Modern Hitting Pitchers Clark Griffith of the Reds regrets there are so few pitchers in the modern game who can hit like those of 20 years ago. The team that has a slamming twirler and a hard-hitting catcher is sending nine sluggers against seven men who can hit but who are handicapped by two almost certain outs, declares the Old Fox, and the arithmetic is all in favor of the nine who can use their bats.

There is also a shortage of farm labor in Austria, though the cities are growing. The bright lights attract, regardless of nationality. A census of the hens in Ireland shows 24,000,000 present. Soon the old reliable potato will begin to be jealous of the upstart egg. Some men seem to delight in starting a bonfire in the back yard just after the next-door neighbor has hung her washing on the line. Queen Mary decides at the last minute against hobbles, elbow sleeves and collariess afternoon gowns. The American peeress division is peevish. The Boston preacher who told his congregation that women have forgotten how to blush is wrong, but anyhow, the men ought not to make them blush. Professor Arrhenius knows of other suns 50,000 times larger than our sun. We could have used one of them a week ago, but our own sun is doing better now. The mocking bird is held up for emulation in modesty. This good point has been overlooked because of the number of whistling soloists who have been inspired. A Harvard professor says Gray "Elegs" would be rejected by the editor of any modern magazine. Some editor has probably returned one of the Harvard professor's poems. Many American horses have been bought for use in the coronation parade. How they will be invaded by a lot of the American people who are going over to try to see the show! America's corn crop would rebuild every railroad in the land in eight years, but there is no ready constitutional way in which the crops of eight years could be applied in that manner. Sixty students working their way through the Wasburn Law school at Topeka, Kan., earned $25,000 last year, an average of more than $413 each. A good many lawyers would be glad to get a chance of that kind. One of the sculptors explains that it is impossible to "show the majesty of the human form in trousers and skirts." We might, without assuming any risk of being considered ultra-conservative, add, "especially harem skirts." A Providence judge has decided that a husband is justified in slapping his wife's face if he catches her going through his pockets. Next some disgruntled court will rule that a woman has now lost her time-honored right to change her mind. A correspondent wishes to know whether the harem skirt should be referred to as "it" or "them." We decline to settle the question, but there seems to be a widespread opinion that the harem skirt ought to be spoken of in the past tense only. A messenger in New York who found a certified check for $25,000 in the street returned it to the owner and received a reward of one dollar. With such encouragement and appreciation, it is a wonder there is not more real honesty in the world. Twenty thousand toothbrushes and as many packages of tooth powder have been presented to the school children of Philadelphia. We hope the school children of Philadelphia are also receiving instructions concerning the inadvisability of picking their teeth in public.

Evidently marriage is not always a failure. The news that there is $300,000 lying in the government treasury unclaimed is sure to start a new crop of claims. Archery is going to be revived this summer, but among girls with thin arms it will be no more popular than playing on the harp. Mankind has been raising chickens for 6,000 years or so, and has not yet produced a king of the poultry yard with a soporific voice. An insane old maid in Brooklyn has been found to possess $1,000,000, so doubtless she is an old maid by choice and not by insanity. How big London is is illustrated again, by the fact that the city's total debt is officially reported to be a lot the more than $555,000,000. One of the deplorable features of the British coronation is that it will cause a flock of alleged poems to be perpetrated on the innocent public. A child labor law which would make it illegal for a boy to drive home the cows would undoubtedly be quite popular among the youth of our rural districts. Boston women school teachers ask higher pay than men because it costs them more to live. If that is not a sign of the times we are painfully mistaken. Not less important and worthy of ceremony than the christening of the baby, the amateur gardener thinks, is the arrival of the first mess of radishes. The horsyfly, the rats and the common drinking cup are to be abolished and then there is to be a general rally in the hope that the end seat hog can also be driven out. A Chicago woman wants a divorce because her husband called another lady "Morning Glory" and "Honey Bunch. The "Morning Glory" might have been overlooked, but "Honey Bunch!" Oh, putty! Thieves in Harlem stole a grand piano from a house. There must have been harmony in the gang to get away with a prize like that, and probably there was music in the air when the owner discovered his loss. Files and mosquitoes to are pass a strenuous summer, if all the plans for crusades against them are carried into effect. What they are preparing for the public may only be surmised, but unless the plans materialize it will also be something strenuous. Scientists say files hate blue paint and will not remain where the walls have been coated with it. If your kitchen is painted blue and files continue to congregate there it is probably because your files are color-blind. One girl has been expelled from the Massachusetts State Normal school, two are under suspension and three more are on probation because they made "shrimp wiggle." Stick to fudge, girls, or at least, don't go beyond Welsh rarebelt. A Russian official was shot and killed in a St. Petersburg theater by a girl nihilist, who also wounded the victim's wife and two other persons before making her escape. This looks as if the taste for the melodrama in contemporary life were returning. London is to have a dock that will accommodate vessels 1,000 feet long. Of course Germany will have to proceed to construct one for 1,100 foot vessels. But that is more sensible than the Dreadnaught competition since the docks will be useful for other purposes than those of de Brette.

The Long Waited for Hotel has Appeared, but There are Many More Things to Learn and Do Before We Can Catch up with Chicago. We Want Our Young Men to Save Their Earnings, Buy Homes and Marry, Get Good Educations, Learn Trades as the Boy in the South Does. Loud Laughing and Talking on the Street a Thing of the Past Here. By Special Correspondent of Chicago Defender. By Mr. A. B. Abrams: South Bend, Ind., June 15—Churchgoing is getting to be more and more out of the fashion, for there are some in our midst that do not frequent any of our churches. I am more convinced that it is a mistake and that we are missing much that is fine and worth while, for we have three elegant, stalwart and able ministers and their edifices should be filled to their capacity when the doors are open. Hence, though far from following all the implications and commotions implied in being a church-goer, I just go the same. Let me here set down some of my reasons. First, let us define the word. By church I do not here refer to any one sect. What is in mind is that wider institution, of which each denomination is a part, which made up of human beings associated together for the worship of God. Laying aside its frailties therefore, with the use of a little common sense and sympathy, we note first of all that the church is the oldest organization on earth. It antedates Masonry; no family tree has roots so deep; no existing dynasty is so venerable. It is a comfort to get hold of something that has stood through the centuries. Another and most human reason for church going is that church-goers, as a rule, are the best kind of people. I speak of averages. Most important of all reasons for church-going, however, is that it is the most practical way of keeping alive and efficient one's idea and feeling of God. Of course, there are bad people in and good people out. But I speak of averages when I say that the clean-minded, honest, straight, kindly, generous and loyal folk gravitate churchward. The mass, at least, of the unclean, wicked, criminal, false, treacherous and cruel folk drift from the church away. On the whole, therefore, I go to church, because there I find my kind of people—the kind for friends and companions. This is not a low motive, nor sordid, but high. Of creed I say nothing, because this writing is not about joining the church, but about going to church. On the whole, therefore, I am sure any right-minded person will be helped by regular attendance at church. It makes me proud to see my people so enthused over something good. They realize what it is to have a good newspaper in their community to tell them what their fellowmen are doing, and to let them keep in touch with what is going on at home. I believe the time will come when our city will be the equal of any city along business lines. The man who is in business and no business to be in business. Make life a ministry of love, and it will always be worth living. A man must train himself for his opportunities, for a great occasion is worth to a man exactly what his antecedents have enabled him to make of it. It's easy to smile when the sailing is fine; but it is great to be able to grin and bear it when a windstorm threatens. Self is the highest Chinese wall we know of. The negro woman of tomorrow must excel the one of yesterday in culture, domestic economy and ability to do. Will she? Yes, she must, or the race must be forever cursed. You must advertise your business in "The Defender" if you desire everyone to know you are in business. Stop waiting for chances to turn up. Hustle out and turn them up. Life is a book. Read it carefully, for you can read it only once. We have long noticed that people are usually accused unjustly of ingratitude. Mrs. Alfred Abrams, of No. 228 South Laurel street, has been confined to her home for a fortnight on account of illness. Her many friends are anxious for her speedy recovery. Mrs. Jeanett Anderson is ill at her home on Studebaker street. Mr. and Mrs. Burton, of 806 W. Napier street, are in an improving condition. The mother of Mrs. Burton is at her bedside. Mrs. Queen Brown, who has been ill quite a period, is still ill at her home. Mrs. Elz and daughter are reported much improved. Her mother and sister are at her bedside. Mr. Henry Hill, being chosen as a victim of rheumatism for the space of three weeks, our mixoligist, of Mr. Clarence Ellott's Buffet, has resumed his position and will be pleased to meet his man friends. While in that city drop in and see him, for he is a fluent talker on any topic. Mr. Smeon Bruce of South Bend, Ind., spent Sunday the guest of his daughter, Mrs. William McGoy, 49 W. 35th street, Chicago. Miss Mabel Williams of Benton Harbor, Mich., is in the city, guest of Rev. and Mrs. Evans, of No. 310 W. Monroe street. Mrs. Martin, of Fort Wayne, Ind., spent Sunday entertained by the Rev. Mrs. Evans. Mr. James W. Shelton and Mr. R. T. Williams, of Indianapolis, was in the city Monday on business for that grand and noble order, K. of P. They installed the Uniform Rank to St. Joseph Lodge, No. 51. We hope it will prosper and grow under the guidance of that grand and noble K. of P. in person of Mr. Henry Hill, also they are sparing no pains to make their annual picnic a success. Don't fail to be on hand, for this will be the picnic of the season. Don't forget the place and date, at Hudson Lake. Cars going every hour. Thomas Walker, formerly of Springfield, ill., that perseverance gentleman, has opened a gents' and ladies' clothing store. Mr. Walker is a stanch reader of The Defender. He says the only way for the race to prosper is to advertise and read more of our own papers. When in the city he will be pleased to have you call on him; 432 E. Lasalle street. Memory may be love's worst foe. Forgetting is often love's highest duty. And whatever is a duty is possible. We can forget, when we ought. So it is with Mr. Sldny James. He forget all, with the exception of taking unto himself a wife. May success, happiness and peace attend your pathway, and may your sojourn in our midst be a pleasant one and subscribe for The Defender. Mrs. Dora Kittrell was hostess to the O. D. T. Club at her home on Carol street, that being the last meeting for the season. A large number of members responded with quotations to roll call. After a pleasant session, a lovely repast was had. The St. P. Ruffin Club had its final meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Doctor Anderson, No. 613 West Lassale street. Rev. Elzy has opened an ice cream parlor opposite the church, North Birdsdell street. Give him a call. The Sowing Circle of the Olivet A. M. E. Church was entertained in the pariors of the Dominion Hotel by the hostess, Mrs. Dulin, on last Thursday afternoon. After an enjoyable afternoon of business a lovely luncheon was served. Menu: Cheese sandwiches, ice tea, lady fingers and caramel ice cream. Mrs. Bessie Stevens Hicks, of Chicago, was visiting Mrs. John Wade, of No. 809 Thomas street, last week. The president of the A. B. C. Club, in person of Mrs. T. W. Rowan, of No. 316 W. Tutt street, was hostess to a five-course dinner in honor of foresaid club. Red and white were the colors that prevailed through the house. After dinner an automobile joy ride was much enjoyed by the club. All the members were present with the exception of the secretary (the bride), in person of Mrs. William McGoy, of Chicago. May the club ever exist and flourish. The club will be entertained by one of its members Sunday in Benton Harbor, Mich., in person of Miss Elia Bragg. Now is the only point of time of great moment to you. If you devote yourself to now, the past will be a dream, the future a present realization, if you but subscribe for The Defender.

HE KNEW ABOUT THE ORIENT One Occasion on Which Venerable and Infallible Joke Partially "They" were chatting in the smoking room of a little Koninklijke Paketvaart Maatschappij coaster, on a two months' run among the islands below the equator, when some one speaking of the Malay peninsula, some one else said: "My impression of the straits settlements can be summed up in a single picture: A strong, black man, standing in the center of a muddy stream, trying to split a rock with a shirt." Now this always provokes a laugh; it is venerable and infallible. But to my surprise, says Frederick S. Isham, the novelist, one of the smoking room contingent, on this occasion it partially failed. What was the trouble? The delinquent, the one man out of seven who didn't laugh, was sallow, saturnine, and English. "What's the matter, old chap?" asked the novelist. "Don't you see the point or are you waiting until tomorrow to wake up to it?" The other turned his head wearily. "See the point?" he said sadly. "I should think I did. I ought to I," tragically, "am the man who owned the shirt." Then we, knowing he had lived 25 years in the Orient, became silent; our laughter ceased. A sympathetic melancholy descended upon us. Englishman or not, we took him to our heart of hearts and made a brother of him. A Compromise. "You look seedy, old chap," said the bachelor to the married man. "Anything wrong? Income tax? Burst boiler? Measles?" "No, just a little domestic worry," the married man answered, knitting his worried brow. "You see, I want the hall door painted red, and my wife wants it to be painted green. And now we hardly speak to each other." "Why not compromise?" said the bachelor. The married man cried: "Good idea!" and hurried off. Next day they met again. "It worked splendidly!" exclaimed the married man, in reply to the bachelor's query. "I told my wife your advice, and she agreed at once." "Well, and what color is the door to be painted?" asked the bachelor. "Green!" said the married man. Blind Conservatism There is always a certain meanness in the argument of conservatism, joined with a certain superiority in its fact. It affirms because it holds. Its fingers clutch the fact, and it will not open its eyes to see a better fact. -Emerson. How to Treat Them. You must treat the public as you treat women—you must tell them nothing but what you know they would like to hear—Goethe.

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. By Bell Clerk. By Special Correspondent of Chicago December Quincy, Ill., June 16—The Culture club will entertain the three graduates of the high school on Monday, June 19, at the Eighth Street church. They are Mr. Lawrence Hammond, Gus Coffe and Miss Leala Burnett. We are gad to know that these young boys and girls have been taught and instructed to be men and women, and honest citizens, and we do hope these young men and women may make use of their education and the some credit to the race. Go out into the world and do something to uplift some one else to your standard. We do hope they will find something more to elevate them than promenading up and down the streets with that loud, boisterous laughter. Tip the top, boys and girls, is the wish of your friends. Sunday the Knights of Tabor's annual sermon will be held at the Bethel church. Mrs. Kinney of North Fourth street is very, very sick and the members of the Star of Bethlehem Temple No. 4 S. M. T. are giving her 4 care possible. Rev. Jordan Chavis of Chicago Grand Master of the Illinois Jurisdiction of the U. B. F. and S. M. T., was in the city Thursday on his annual visit. Rev. G. W. Brown of 825 Elm street spent last Sunday at Lagrange, Mo., where he preached two able sermons. Rev. Hardy of Lagrange was in the city a few days last week and subscribed for the Defender. He knows a good thing when he sees it. Prof. Dickson of Palmyra, Mo., was also in the city last week. Mrs. Thomas of 25th and Broadway, will entertain the Busy Bee Sewing circle this week. There will be organized soon an embroidery club by Mrs. Clerk of 12 ladies, to be known as the Coronation club. Artie Richardson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richardson of Chestnut street, died Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock at the Blessing hospital, after a short illness of only a few short days, and in remembrance of him: "Gone, dear mother and father, forever. How oft you will miss his loving face; but he left you to remember, none on earth can take his place. Though he is gone but not forgotten, never shall his memory fade; loving hearts will often linger around the grave where he is laid." But we hope that he is happy in the mansions of the blessed. Artie was a good boy, loved by all; he leaves a father and mother and a little sister, Lizzle, and a host of friends. Lydia Gets the Credit It is to Lyda that we owe the invention of colage. In all times and in all countries, the privilege of coling has been allowed the sovereign. Croesus of Lyda was the first monarch to introduce a bimetallic system of colage—gold and silver in the proportion of about three to four. This was some time between 560 and 546 B. C. Metal was chosen, doubtless, by reason of its durability and in the case of gold and silver, by reason of their intrinsic value. Silver and brass were first used, particularly in Greece, from a lack of sufficient gold. Later, however, this definitely was overcome. The less liable a metal is to change in value, the better it is suited for a standard. The Greeks first issued real coin some time during the seventh century B. C. By the fourth century the entire civilized world used money.—Scientific American. Well Occupied. Lady (engaging assistant gardener)—And if I engage you, besides your other duties, you will have to attend to the three dogs and clean out their kennels, also clean out the parrot's cage, clean up my sons' workshop and clean both their bicycles; also clean the car except when the weather's dirty. Applicant (overwhelmed)—And shall I have to clean that?—Tatler. To Remedy Corrosion Corrosion in metals is said to be prevented by the passage through the metals of a weak current of electricity. This is a "like cure like" treatment, for the pitting of metals is said to be due to the local electrical action, that is, feeble current developed by the acidic water on dissimilar metals, often impurities in the metal itself, at the point of corrosion.

BREEZY NEWS FROM LEXINGTON And Interesting Happenings from Nearby Towns. A GOOD LESSON. Let All Who Wish to Keep Abreast with the Society News Watch this Column. By Special Correspondent of Chicago Defender. Entertainment at Zion Church, Lexington, Mo., June 16.—The entertainment given in honor of the teachers and graduates of Lexington last Tuesday night was a success. A large crowd was present, everybody enjoyed himself to the highest. The program was as follows: Songs, by the choir; prayer, by Rev. J. H. Allen, pastor; address, J. M. Treem; piano music, Miss M. Woodson, very good; address, Rev. J. L. Jackson, was good (please take heed to it, especially you young people). The music rendered by our sweetest soprano singer, Miss Allie Treeman was good. Prof. G. H. Green also delivered a good address. It refreshments were served in the basement. Among those present were the queen of Lexington, Miss E. M. Hunter; G. Hicklin, Jackson, Hayden, Smith, Bloice, Walker, Collins, G. H. Green, Graham and many others. The tables were beautifully decorated with sweet flowers and paper ribbons. There are no better looking girls in the world than those beautiful, sweet cheeked girls of Lexington. We have some good young people in our city who stand high in the race and community. Oh, you Lexington highbrows. Doing Business for Themselves Doing Business for Themselves. We are very proud to know that our two prominent young men, Mr. George Jackson and Mr. Arthur Slaughter, have opened up a dyeing, pressing and cleaning parlor on 10th street in the Masonic building. The ladies will be taken care of as well as the men. Call in and see these young men whenever you need your clothes cleaned and pressed. Satisfaction guaranteed or money refunded. Take good care of your money, boys, and put it to some good use. Keep all loafers out of your place of business if you expect to have a success. We all wish you both well and a success in your business enterprise. They All Love Miss H. Smith. Miss Hazel Smith, one of our most beautiful and charming young ladies of the St. John's M. E. church, is highly spoken of by the members of the St. John's M. E. church. Miss Smith is always busy in trying to do something that will be a credit to the race. It is said that this charming young lady is doing her part as a Christian worker in the church. She is organist of the choir and her sweet charming voice is a pleasing one. Her ways and actions prove that she is a lady worth speaking of. She is very friendly with every one she comes in contact with. She is not a selfish or jealous kind of person, but she is one that the race loves and honors for the great work she is doing. You always find her in the Sunday schools trying to teach and instruct the small boys and girls to be honest Christian men and women. Miss Smith does not allow herself to be in company with all classes of bad people. She is highly respected by both white and colored people. I must say that we need more such young ladies and young men as Miss Smith. The race is proud of her. The young men of Lexington all honor Miss Smith. It is to be hoped that this young lady will continue in her good work and we assure her that she will reap her reward at the end. Miss Smith, we are proud of you, we all love you. Keep pushing and climbing, you will reach the top after awhile. Notice to Boys and Girls. The girls should be very careful how they talk, as the white people are making a great kick about boys and girls sitting on the fence after dark near the goose-pond. This is a bad habit and the girls should have more self-respect. Girls, be women; don't be street loaters, as we have too many of them. Boys and girls should be stopped from sitting on this fence as no good end will come to them that does. Take heed and stop it, as it doesn't look nice to see girls sitting around on the street corners with boys. Notice to You. No news will be published in the Lexington column of this paper unless the party writing signs his or her name. Whenever a party fails to pay his or her bills when due the reporter has a right to discontinue his or her paper without notice. Mr. Arnold would be very glad to have all the Lexington people subscribe for the Defender at the rate of 25c per month, three months 75 cents, one year $1.50, cash in advance. Report all your news to Mr. Arnold for publication and don't forget to see him whenever you want a copy of the paper. We want 1,000 subscribers in Lexington. Are you one? If not, why not? Get the habit of reading your own race journals and see what the race is doing and help to build it up by subscribing for the Defender. P. S. All advertisements must be paid for before they appear in this paper. Two cents will be charged for every word published. Please do not ask for a sample copy of the Defender as we haven't any to give away. A Pleasant Surprise. Tuesday morning the reporter was very much surprised to hear of Miss Goldie Tolbert making such rapid progress. It is said that this young lady is a teacher in the Zion Chapel Sunday school and is doing a great work. It seems like the girls are getting far ahead of the boys of Lexington. Miss Tolbert is a beautiful young lady and B. A. didn't make any mistake when he fell in love with Miss Tolbert as she is a young lady that Lexington is very proud of. Miss Tolbert is second to none in helping to train the small boys and girls of our race to be men and women. Miss Tol- bert, the race is proud to hear of you doing such great work. Keep it up, let the world know that you are counted as one who stands high in doing what you can for the benefit of the race. I only wish that I had time to say more concerning this charming young lady. As a Christian worker in the church Miss Tolbert stands next to Misses Hunter and Smith. Keep going, Lexington will get all that is coming to her after a while. Miss Tolbert has charge of the primary class of our Sunday school. She is the most friendly young indy we have in our city and everyone speaks well of her. All we ask is a chance, fair play and we will prove to the world that we as a race are coming to the front. We should give Miss G. Tolbert great credit for the way she conducts herself and the great work she is doing as teacher of our Sunday school of Lexington, Mo. Baseball. The reporter has been asked to report the baseball games of Lexington, but there isn't a report to be given, as the reporter does not go to Sunday baseball games. It is said that the boys have a game nearly every Sunday on the vacant lot in front of E. B. Campbell's grocery store in old town. If this report is true, the boys should be stopped, as it is wrong. Sunday is no day to have ball games and we hope that our white friends will put a stop to playing ball on Sunday in the city of Lexington. Where is the sheerft? Something Doing. On the 4th of July the members of the Second Baptist, St. John's M. E. and Zion chapel will give a union picnic and it is hoped that everybody will do what they can to make this affair a great day. Watch this paper for future announcements. Zion Chapel. The holy communion was celebrated at the Zion Chapel A. M. E. church Sunday afternoon at 2:30. Rev. W. B. Brooks delivered three powerful sermons. Sunday night Rev. Brooks delivered the goods and the meeting was a glorious one. Rev. Brooks is a minister who preaches with truth and power. A love feast was held Monday night after the quarterly conference met. Most every one present had a glorious time praising the Lord Jesus Christ. The Chicago Defender Have you ever read this paper before? If not call on John H. Arnold. He will deliver it to your door every Sunday for 25 cents per month, cash in advance. Read the Defender and you will always be happy. See Mr. Arnold at once. ' What to Do. If you leave town, report it. If you have trouble, keep it to yourself. If you are doing business, report it. If you entertain your friends, report it. If you enjoy your Sunday services, report it. Report anything that will be a help to the people and race. Don't report your troubles, as I have plenty of my own. If your friends lies on you, tell him, not the reporter. If your friends die, report it. If death comes into your home, report it. If you have a fight with a friend or neighbor, keep your mouth shut. If you are a Christian and allow dancing in your home, stop it. If your son or daughter is going wrong, stop them before it is too late. If you do these things there will be less trouble in the future. Am I right? Things that don't concern you just let alone. Help the race and the race will help you is our motto. Subscribe for the Defender and it will pay you. CHEAPER? YES. BETTER? NO. You can buy cheaper photographs but you cannot buy better photographs than those we make at any price. We will be glad to prove this to you. Peter P. Jones, Photographer. 3519 State street. Mysterious Disappearance A girl had gone to a dinner in New York with her steady. The young man noticed a speck of what appeared to be lint on her shoulder. When she wasn't looking he attempted to knock it off with his finger. After several futile attempts he took hold of the line and started to pull it off. He unraveled several yards of the fleecy stuff and when he seemed to have all of it threw the wad under the table. That night the girl told her mother that she had had a perfectly lovely time. "But," she added, "I have just been lying here in bed, mother, and wondering what became of my union suit." Where Woman's Voice is Heard. What a great country is Australia. It is a country where one can get things done and no words about it. No back talk. The ladies of Melbourne, they of the tight-skirt persuasion, have found a difficulty in mounting the steps of the street cars, and now the authorities have ordered that the steps be lowered so that the foot need not be raised beyond the limitations imposed by fashion. And we call ourselves a free country. Inexcusable. "Mrs. Fillingt is thoroughly shocked at her husband's literary taste." "For what reason?" "He insists on reading the same novels that she does."

THE PEOPLE 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. WE ARE STILL RISING 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. Chattanooga, Tenn., June 16, 1911.—Sabbath, in spite of the intense heat, the church-goers thronged the different places of worship with eagerness to hear their respective divines who so willingly delivered their sermonettes with much force, in a soul-stirring spirit of that degree of religious pride which should best characterize all loyal Christians in consequence of their devotion to the greatest work that mankind can do to praise the Almighty. The choirs all sang sweet music for the occasion, which delighted the bearers and they wore awakened to the interest of this noble cause. Miss Susie Connley, the guest of Mrs. Western, 1011 W. 10th street, was suddenly called to Griffin, Ga., to the bedside of the dearest and precious gem in human form, her loving mother, who after being ill but a short time the grim monster, Death, seized her as his victim. This is the lot of all human. The funeral of Mrs. Harriet Conley, who died May 17, 1911 (age 61 years), took place at Heck's Chapel, M. E. church, which was draped in mourning for the deceased, who was held in high esteem by the people of the community. The church was beautifully decorated in ferns and potted flowers, a token of the appreciation and the estimation of the friends for the departed one. The services were quite impressive. The family circle broke down under the sadness of the strain. White, picturing the life and character of this worthy wife, mother and devoted Christian for forty years. "Blessed are the dead who dieth in the Lord." Revs. Travis, Moses Anthony, Lovejoy and Rev. Bevers, pastor Mt. Zion Baptist church. The choir sang her favorite song, "Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me; Let Me Hide Myself in Thee." The solo, "Flee as a Bird to the Mountain," by Mrs. Jennie Beates, was rendered with much pathos and feeling. The history of the deceased's life by Mrs. Lizzie Baker was in a grand form. And as the departed had endearced herself in active life to the people with such kindred ties of love, kindness and deeds of charity, it drew an unusual crowd to witness those services of the funeral. The floral designs were a fitting tribute of the respect of the friends as they covered the casket with the flowers. She is survived by two sons, two daughters, relatives and a host of friends. "Dearest mother, thou hast left us, And thy loss we deeply feel Good bye, our precious and loving mother. O! farewell until we meet thee above, to part no more. Little James S. Johnson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J. Johnson, died June 7, 1911, aged 5 months, 6 days. After an illness of two days the grim monster, Death, entered his pleasant and happy home and claimed this most precious gem, the baby upon which their love had been centered, and overshadowed it with gloom and sadness. "But the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord." "Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep. From which none ever wake to weep. Another one to join the angel band. Sleep on, beloved, sleep and take thy rest. Lay down thy head upon thy Savior's breast. We love thee well, but Jesus loves thee best. Fare thee well, farewell." The body was taken to the place of interment, Griffin, Ga. The Wedding Bell Ringing. Amid the wide circle of friends the beautiful marriage of much interest of Miss Lovy Allen to Mr. Davle Brazelle took place at the residence of the bride's niece, Mr. and Mrs. Manuel Bailey, 605 W. 12th street, city, Sunday evening, June 4, 1911, 3 p.m. And the same was witnessed by an appreciative gathering. Rev. A. E. Martin, pastor Quinn A. M. E. church, officiated, where the bride has been a member of the choir for some time. And after the marriage ceremony they left the city for Newnon, Ga., to visit friends and enjoy their honeymoon. And then Rock Mount, Ga., to make it their future home. The bride has a sweet disposition and is loved by all. The groom, a handsome young man, and the bride will be missed in this church, for her usefulness. We hope them a most joyous sail in the vessel upon the matrimonial sea, with hopeful success and prosperity. Mrs. Lillian Forby Calaway, San Francisco, Cal., is in the city visiting her beloved parents, relatives and friends. Yes, home again. We trust that her stay will be made exceedingly pleasant before she leaves for Montana, and may her's be a safe arrival home. Miss Mattie Dixson's Pretty Cafe, Boyce street, is the place to find courteous treatment. It is cool, pleasant, and all things are so arranged to meet the accommodation of all comers. We feel proud to see that our ladies can succeed in business so grandly. Keep on going until you reach the heights of success. We said, visiting your place means to be repeated, at any rate. Rev. G. T. Tipton, pastor M. E. church, Knoxville, Tenn., was in our historic city for a few days only and expressed himself as being highly pleased with nature's sight-seeing. We welcome him again to our city. The Mt. Olivet Baptist church, Rev. A. J. Robinson, pastor. Here can be found some very faithful officers and good workers among the ladies for this church. Bro.

Fresh pineapple juice has great value as a digestive. A small amount will digest a considerable piece of steak or any other animal tissue. Bolling, however, seems to kill the enzymes in the pineapple, so that after canning it loses its digestive power. The peculiar property of pineapple juice makes it of value in many ways. For instance, in diphtheria it is used as a gargle, and the diphtheria membrane disappears like magic at its touch. It seems to have the power of picking out all non-living animal tissues and rapidly digesting them, leaving all the living tissues. In cases of quinsy, pineapple juice digests all poisonous tissue, often giving quick relief. Sometimes it is not best to incise or lance a boll, and the yellow cap may often remain upon the boll without opening, holding back the pus. The application of pineapple juice invariably establishes free drainage within a short time. For administration in the stomach, pineapple acts, adds the Family Doctor, as a preventive rather than a cure. It cannot quickly correct an acute attack of indigestion, though it may prevent an attack. Realse for Piano Players In the course of the past few years an ingenious invention has made all departments of musical composition in a certain degree accessible even to those who are not expert pianists. I refer to the mechanical piano players, which were at first looked upon with suspicion and often with abhorrence by professional musicians, but which are proving themselves an agency of immense usefulness in diffusing good music among the people.—Prof. E. Dickinson, "The Education of a Music Lover." Steam Practical Industry Stairs Practically Indestructible. A flight of stairs has been erected in Paris over which fourteen million persons have passed without so much as scratching the surface. These steps are almost imperishable, for in the concrete of which they are constructed a generous proportion of carborundum has been introduced, and since carborundum is almost as hard as the diamond, it has given the concrete a wearing quality which no marble or granite could possibly approach. Cast-Off Uniforms In Demand Much money is made out of cast-off police uniforms. Quantities are bought by African traders and exported to various parts of the "dark continent," where they are exchanged for palm-oil, ivory, skins and other merchandise. It is by no means an uncommon sight to see a swarthy savage dressed in the uniform of a London policeman, and wearing the regulation helmet of the force—London Mail. Rubber Made From Beans. It has taken the Germans to use beans for making rubber. The process has just been patented. It consists in extracting a thick oil from the soya bean, treating this with nitric acid, and then heating the material to a given temperature, whereupon it becomes visid and tough like crude rubber. It can then be vulcanized by the addition of sulphur the same as vegetable rubber, and used for the same purposes. Man of His Word "I thought you told me these lots would double in value in two years, and here's a man offering me exactly what I gave for them." "Yes, but you forget you gave twice as much as they were worth."—Judge. Sweet Drinks In Burma There are no soda fountains in Rauguen. A large amount of aerated water is sold throughout Burma. The English population couses an immense quantity of soda for the national drink of whisky and soda, and also some ginger beer and bottled lemonade. The natives, however, prefer the highly sweetened and colored drinks, such a rose water, pineapple, cream soda, etc. Nourishment of Seawood Seaweed do not obtain nourishment from the soil at the bottom of the sea, but the matter contained in sea water. Useless. It is useless to try to get women to believe there can be anything really bad about a man who is willing to load his wife down with jewelry. Still Use the Tinderbox. Matches have not yet displaced the tinderbox in certain rural districts of Spain and Italy. RECORDS OF ANTIQUITY INSCRIPTIONS THAT TELL ABOUT LIFE IN FORMER AGES. Religious Forms, Business Methods, Historical Events and Many Other Things Revealed by Carvings in Stone and Metal. Inscriptions by no means are the product of modern learning. The ancients left 150,000 that have been resurrected, translated and printed, not counting the epitapha on ordinary graves of thousands of years ago, which are not deemed worth the trouble. all carved their records in stone and metal. Paper was not as common in those days as now. The permanent records thus left include religious forms, business accounts, royal proclamations and beasts of deeds accomplished, epitaphs, mortuary tablets, altars, temples, aqueducts, tax receipts, etc. Evidently property was not safe in the old days and they had the habit of writing on seals, gems, vases and other brick-aabrac by way of identifying them. Both in this country and abroad scholars devote much of their time to deciphering these mute records of the past, and it is quite likely that the successors to our population—if such there shall be—will find information in the Elliot inscriptions for their learned tomes. In France, along with other academies, they have one of the inscriptions, which is preparing books of the Greek and Latin relics by photography. The experts began this job in 1881. In 1868 Mommens and Huebner, the great historians, projected a similar task under the Berlin academy and at last accounts the savants who are continuing their labors were still collecting. They have published many volumes and have preserved some 10,000 of the 20,000 extant Greek inscriptions. It is a great part that the carved words of bygone ages has played in modern knowledge. The finding of the Rosetta stone with its identical message in both Egyptian and Greek provided the clew that unlocked the mysteries of the Nilene delta's early history. Some of the languages and most of the history of Asia Minor has been preserved by the same method. Also some years ago at Hisn Ghorab on the Arabian coast, there was found a stone, which being deephelped, proclaimed, according to some, that the apple which Eve gave to Adam and thus made us all work for a living wasn't an apple, but a pomegranate. Earth's oldest inscription belonged to the Phoenicians once, and was hewn out some 3,000 years ago, being a dedicated bronze vessel for the temple of Baal Lebanon by Hiram, king of the Sidonians. It was found in Cyprus and is now in the Louvre museum at Paris. Puzzle for German Police A curious obstacle has intervened to prevent the decapitation of a man who was recently sentenced to death at Posen, Germany, for murder. The condemned man called himself Jacob Kinzle, and had the usual papers of identification made out in this name. Under it he had served several terms of imprisonment for theft, and no one doubted that it was his own name till after he had been adjudged to lose his head. It then came to the knowledge of the police that the real Jacob Kinzle is at present farming in South Africa, where he is highly respected; and that his papers were stolen from him some years ago. Under German law, however, nobody can be executed till his identity has been properly established, and the authorities are completely at a loss as to the real name and parentage of their doomed captive. He, not unnaturally, steadily declines to provide them with the information that will enable them to proceed with the operation of cutting off his head. Blindness of Justice * Rastus was on trial, charged with stealing $7.15. He pleaded not guilty, and, as he was unable to hire an attorney, the judge appointed Lawyer Clem as counsel. Clearm put up a strong plea in defense, and Rastus was acquitted. Counsel and client met a few minutes later outside the courtroom. "Now, Rastus," said Clearm, "you know the court allows the counsel very little for defending this kind of case. I worked hard for you and got you clear. I'm entitled to much more pay than I'm getting for my valuable services, and you should dig up a good-sized fee. Have you got any money?" "Yes, boss," replied Rastus, "I still done get dat seben dollars and eighty-five cents." Hume and the Saints David Hume's residence in the New Town of Edinburgh was the first building in a new street and a witty young lady chalked up on the walls "St. David street," alluding to the owner. Hume's servant girl resented such a reference to her master and hurried into the house to inform how he had been made game of. "Never mind, lassle," said Hume, "many a waur man has been made a saint before." The authorities adopted the young lady's suggestion, for the thoroughfare is so named to this day. There is another version of the philosopher's reply to his housekeeper as we have heard it: "Never mind, many a better man has been made a saint before me." Starting Badly. "Look here," exclaimed young Mr. Cotter Tartar, in desperation, "is this or is it not a wedding tour?" "Why of course," snapped young Mrs. C. T. "It's our wedding tour. What on earth did you think it was?" "Well, I'm beginning to think it's a lecture tour. Now cut it out, see?"—Toledo Blade. Mme. T. D.

THE CITY OF EVANSTON Mrs. Catherine Lytle Johnson Dead. Mrs. Catherine Lyle Johnson Dead. Mrs. Catherine Johnson died Monday morning at 2:40 at the home of her daughter, Mrs. James Bryant, 2312 West Railroad avenue. Mrs. Johnson had been very ill for the past six months and her death was not wholly unexpected. She was indeed a patient sufferer, always welcoming visitors with a smile, thus trying to lighten and make the duties of the family as pleasant as possible. Mrs. Johnson was a member of Ebonezer A. M. E. church, and attended regularly as long as she was able. Catherine Lyle Carney Johnson was born Feb. 9, 1844, at Philadelphia, and reached the age five days. She leaves two brothers and three sisters in the east, one son, Edward C. Johnson, two daughters, Mrs. James Bryant and Mrs. Robert Petit, and seven grandchildren. The funeral was held Tuesday from the home. The Rev. James Higgins, pastor of St. Mary's church, conducted the services, assisted by Rev. B. P. E. Gayles of Second Baptist church. Interment at Rosehill. Mt. Zion Baptist Church. 11 a. m., sermon by the pastor; subject, "Systematic Giving."—Matt. 3:8, 9, 10. 12:30, Bible school. 3 p. m., Platform meeting. 8 p. m., Sermon by Rev. James Swanson. Lunchon will be served at the church at 2 p. m. Come and spend a day with us in Zion, June 18, and bring us a piece of money. The rain last Sunday evening just at the church hour had some effect upon the congregation at Mt. Zion church which made the people a little late, but there was a good congregation in time for a good collection. Rev. A. Scott preached at the Mt. Zion church last Wednesday evening, June 7. The Oriental tea given by Club No. 3 last Friday was largely attended. A next sum was raised. The Young People's Progressive club held their installation of officers and public reception at Mt. Zion Baptist church last Friday evening, June 9. It was a splendid affair. The following is the program called out: Invocation, Deacon C. C. Collors; remarks, by Roy, B. P. E. Gayles; installation of officers, by Rev. E. H. Fletcher; remarks by the newly installed president, Mr. N. C. Blair; address, by Mr. S. M. Monroe; subject, "Slander"; remarks, by Chief M. T. Bailey of the True Reformers; last but not least, all present were served with ice cream and cake. The club adjourned to meet the third Sunday afternoon in September. Sunday, June 18, is rally day at Mt. Zion Baptist church. The church is divided into five teams, each team has been laboring to raise one hundred dollars ($100). There will be three services. Second Baptist Church The members of the church should not forget the trustees' rally, Sunday, June 25. At each service some one of the trustees will present the matter and take both cash and subscriptions. It was the writer's good fortune to spend last Sunday in Bloomington with Rev. V. S. Cooper and his people. It was rally day at the Union Baptist church. The Lord favored the church by permitting favorable weather. By invitation the writer preached at 11 a. m. and 3 in the afternoon. Rev Bro. Evans of the A. M. E. earnest preached at 8 p. m. The faithful members of "Union" led by their worthy and popular pastor, Rev. V. S. Cooper, had determined to make the rally a success. No general ever marshalled his forces more easily, and no army ever obeyed more readily. Their war cry was "one thousand dollars." Those loyal members, led by their intrepid leader, Rev. V. S. Cooper, went into the battle. When the guns ceased roaring and the smoke had died away $16.43 were found on the tables. Too much cannot be said in praise of the success of Union and its pastor. This shows just what can be done when people decide to lay aside their petty differences and go to work. Sister Bryant and the family have our sympathy. Brother Jordan preached at the Second Baptist church last Sunday at 11 a. m. and Rev. Wm. Chiles at 8 p. m. Ebenezer A. M. E. Church.

We are all interested in this band because we are lovers of music but more so because we have four sons of our race as members who are playing the leading parts. Eugene Hutt, Jr., cornet, can not be touched by any member in the band, white or black, so good is he with his instrument. Also Hutt is mascot, being the smallest and youngest member of the band. Harry White, another cornet, plays a leading part and is much praised by the director. James Hill and "Chick" Saunders let fly music from their drums that would have caused the men of 76 not only to fight the British but to give Satan a terrible shaking. Mr. Jim Hill also assists these boys in order that they might be able to deliver the goods. Mrs. A. P. Perry Celebrates. Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Perry celebrated on last Saturday their twenty-first wedding anniversary. A number of friends were called together at their beautiful home on Oak avenue and a delightful evening was spent.

The Forum at its next meeting is promised a treat by Dr. Anna R. Cooper; subject, "Woman and the Work She Is Doing." Members and friends attending the Forum next Tuesday are asked to bring a quotation from some standard author. The Universal Pet. Everybody must have a pet. If you haven't a baby, you must at least own a dog. If it isn't a dog, it may be a cat or a kitten. In other lands it may be a monkey. I have even known of those who have alligators as pets—little ones, of course. Perhaps this explains why, on a single Sunday, 40,000 men, women and children, principally children, will flock into the Zoological garden at Bronx park in the northern part of New York city. This may explain, too, why, in a single calendar year nearly one million and a half visitors at the park take time—and do it with pleasure—to visit what is known as the finest zoological exhibit as 'we' as the largest in the world.—Harrlet Quimby, in Leslie's. On Ice. "Yes," said Alkall Ike, "a couple of cow punches indulged in a very pretty scientific scrap down at Bad Bucke's yesterday." "It is wonderful how cool those fellows keep under the circumstances," remarked the eastern tourist. "Yaas, they certainly have to be keep cool, stranger. I believe for some reason or other, their funerals aren't to be for a couple o' days yet." The Airman's Courtship Mr. Peabody lived for his daughter Lillian, one of the handsome young girls among the "400." She was tall and graceful and had charmingly frank manners, as only an American girl can have them. Tonight the great multi-millionaire gave a ball. It was now long past midnight and tired out with dancing, Lillian was sitting with young Count Pierre de Lussones, in one of the large salons of the Fifth avenue mansion. The count moved a little closer to her and sat down on the luxurious diven covered with the skin of an immense polar bear. Pierre de Lussones lit a cigarette and they began to chat like old friends. She tried to tease him a little. "So you have come over here to marry an helen, you say?" "Yes; or, rather, it was a syndicate of my creditors who sent me over. I am tired of everything and only consented because it gave me an opportunity to take this beautiful trip, my last voyage." "People say you are going to marry Annie Stangerson." "That homely little silly! No, no. I could not do it, and none of the others who are willing to take me have enough money to guild our es cutcheon." "But what do you mean when you speak of your last voyage? "I am very fond of you, Miss Lillian, you are the only friend I have in this money crazed country, so I will tell you." "My debts amount to three hundred and odd thousand francs. I am tired of a life which I despise, and I have no wish to prolong it. I am used to luxury, and I admit I am a coward, now that poverty or surrender of my selfrespect stares me in the face. Tomorrow I am to make an attempt at breaking the record for attitude, and so I see a chance of ending my existence in a poetical manner, flying ever higher, toward the sky, until the rarefied air robs me of my consciousness, and puts me to sleep forever." "Suicide?" "Perhaps. But at any rate is will be a beautiful death and my family will believe it was an accident." Lillian blushed a little and said gaily: "I am coming to see you off. I will help you. It will be very exciting." Rather vexed, Lussones replied: "Of course, if you like sensations, you will get all of it you want." Lillian took two flowers from a vase. "Are they not lovely!" she said. "I do love orchids." "I prefer these," he repiled, pointing to the flowers she was wearing. "Oh, the forget-me-nots, which you call myosotis. When you give them to anybody in this country, it means as much as a proposal." Mr. Peabody's genial face appeared in the doorway. "So here you two are sitting all alone." "It is late. I must go home." Lillian arrived at the aerodrome early. In her hand she held a great bouquet of yellow orchids. Pierre was smoking nervously. Dressed in his airman's suit of fur and his close-fitting fur cap, he looked like a big sea lion. His aeroplano was wheeled out of the hangar. Lillian was walking silently at his side. His only thought was: "This is to be my last flight." Lillian, raising herself on tip-toes, said to him: "Here, Pierre." (she had never called him by his first name before), "let me the these flowers to your machine." And she tied them firmly to a bar in front of him. Then he gave the signal, and his mechanic started the propeller. There was a roar from the motor, a whirling buzz from the propeller and the powerful machine began to soar upward He puts on more speed. Unwards he fires. He passes through a layer of clouds. The air is biting, his face is frozen, his hands heavy and numb, and his coat collar seems to be growing too tight for him. Lillian's bouquet tied firmly to the rod, is losing the petals of its flowers one by one, and Lossones says to him: self: "This is the way my life will go, too." Suddenly his eyes open wide. He sees a little blue flower, then one more, and again another. Under the orchids, robbed of their petals by the breeze raised by the propeller, appears a bouquet of go-fet-me-nots, the engagement flower. Lussones glides towards the earth His machine descends in a beautiful vol plane, with the grace of a bird, flying in circles rapidly growing smaller. The air whistles about his ears he catches sight of the earth, touches it gently and stops. Dazed with excitement, Pierre rises in his seat. The crowd yells with excitement. He has broken all records. A score of arms lift him up and carry him shoulder high through the mady excited throng. Lillian is there, her face is pale with emotion; she forgets everything, throws her arms about Pierre's neck, sobbing and laughing at the same time. "Oh, dear! how I have been afraid I have been terribly punished, but I may as well confess it right here—I would have married you, even if you had not broken the record, or I would never have married at all." ```markdown ``` Confessions of a Tourist One of the greatest drawbacks to the pleasures of traveling is the foolish things that people always feel called upon to buy and carry home with them. I was talking about this yesterday to some of the women passengers on the steamer which is carrying us from Sydney to Hongkong, and each of them began to confess to the foolish things that she was taking home. Mrs. Clark, a nice, sensible looking woman from Wisconsin, had a bottle of water from the River Jordan which she acquired eight months ago, and all her thoughts and emotions had been concentrated upon getting that bottle home without breaking it. She freely admitted that she did not know why she had it, or what she should do with it after getting it home, but to achieve that feat had become a sort of endurance contest with her. A pleasant looking music teacher from Davenport, In., who is traveling with a young nephew, was cherishing as her chief treasure a basket full of slips of ivy cut from the graves of her favorite musicians. She had carried it in her hand half way around the world, and she expected to carry it the other half. After I heard about these and a few more of the other women's possessions I felt quite superior to think of all the things I had refrained from getting until I remembered my coconut shells and the native hats and the basket and the alligators. I haven't any alligators now. They were with us on a trip that Charles and I made to Bermuda. I cannot really say that I regret having bought my carved coconut shells in Tahiti, though they have been somewhat inconvenient to carry. There are six of them, carved in a set, and they are rolling around the floor of our stateroom now, bumping their heads together like croquet balls, as it seems impossible to anchor them in any way. Charles was inclined to think me rather foolish to get anything so inconvenient to carry until he bought the carved spears and the breastplate and the boomerangs and the tomtoms. The boomerangs can be packed In the trunks, but the other things have to be carried by hand, and as the spears are too long to stand upright or to lie on the floor of the stateroom they have to be placed obliquely across it, and be stepped over or under every time one goes through the door. My basket would not be so hard to carry if it had a handle, but it is shaped like a flat chopping bowl and it is about as big in diameter as an umbrella. Its unusual size is, in fact, what attracted me to it. I am sure I have never seen anything so large at home. I must say that Charles acted like a lamb about carrying it, and didn't seem to mind it much until I began to display a tendency to buy a native hat, which was almost as big as the basket. Fortunately, Charles also was greatly taken with the native hats, so we each bought one, and then we had to buy another special trunk to put them in. I think I have never told anybody all about the alligators. They were the loveliest little baby alligators anybody ever saw. They were not more than a foot long. I bought them from an old fisherman in Bermuda. I thought I could take them home to Hobby and Sammy to play with. When they grew up I thought we could give them to the Lincoln park zoo or something. I had a covered traveling box made for them. It looked like a vase and it had a little water tank at one end. The alligators really were not much trouble, except the time they got out on the ship and nearly created a panic among the women passengers, who all acted very silly, I thought. But I got them to New York and smuggled them into the hotel where we were stopping for a few days. There the poor little things died on my hands and I didn't know how to dispose of their corps. I didn't want to give them to the chambermale for fear she would make a fuss, and I felt embarrassed about dropping them info the waste basket or anywhere about the hotel. So I just opened one of our windows one day when Charles was not in and tossed them out. I think probably their sudden arrival on the sidewalk created quite a commotion from the sounds that followed. But I never looked out and I burned up the travelling crate in the fireplace. When Charles came home I just told him the alligators had died and he did not ask any questions. Just now the nephew of the music teacher from Davenport, a sophisticated young person for his fifteen years, came up with a grin and sat down beside me. "I saw you admiring auntie's ivy'sips yesterday afternoon," said he. "Well, if you'll promise not to tell her, I'll tell you about those slips. They didn't come from no musician's grave. They're just plain, ordinary ivy. "You see, she left her basket with me for two weeks in the pension at Lepsicen, while she went over to Dreaden, and I forgot to water them, and they all died on me. So I just went out in the pension garden and got some more ivy and filled up the basket again, and she's just as well satisfied as she was before. What people don't know don't hurt them." ACOMPLETE FUNERAL FOR $65.00. E. JACKSON. The Oldest Colored Undertaker in Chicago.
