LAND OF NO LYNCHERS, NO SNAKES, AND NO JIM CROW CARS. 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. Berry, bandmaster. 1. Skirmish drill—Co. A., Capt Betts, commanding. 2.—Company drill—Co. B., Capt. Alexander commanding. 3.—Wall scaling—Co. C., Capt. Hunt commanding. 4.—Manual of arms—Co.

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.

Up to that point we are about equal. ‘Then 1 went west and got Interested ina gold mine. That bit of knowledge cost considerable. Next, I tried stock raising, and found that a pretty ex- pensive school. Before I was finally graduated from that I took a hand at the theatrical business, and learned a lot at fairly high rates. ‘There was a Mttle girt in the company, though, seemed to think I, hadn't got all the knowledge that was coming to me, 60 sho put me in the matrimontal 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, bat the bills were high. For twenty yeare or so | wor ried along on this kind of schooling, and then my eldest girl got married. Her husband thought he'd lke to try farming, and I learned a lot about that in the next few yeurs, at tho cost of about $6,000 a yenr. Then pretty soon they had a couple of kids, and what my own children ain't taught me they did. ‘The fact 1s—Hey, there! where are you going? I've only just begun te tell you about my education.” But already Smith was far down the street, with his fingers in his ears, fleeing ax though from the wrath to come.—Surness Magazine, Fortified Monastery. ‘The most strongly fortified monas tery in the world fs Solovetsk, in Archangel, Russia, ‘This _monastery fs inclosed on every side by a wali of granite boulders and measures near ly a mille tn clreumferenee, ‘The mon- astery itself is very strongly fortified, being supported by round and square towers about 30 feet In height, with walls 20 feet in thickness. ‘The mon- astery In«reality consists of six churehes, which are the repositories of many valuable statues and also of preclous stones.

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.

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. The same pair of hens tried a similar experiment last year, with dire results to the young mavises, the young blackbirds having gently oozed them out of the nest into the cold world. But the enterprising parents apparently insist on giving the scheme a fair trial. Only Married Men Count. In Corea marriage is even more important and essential for a man than it is for a woman as, until a man be wed, he is a being of no account. If a father has not selected wives for his sons ere they reach the age of twenty he is considered worthless and neglectful. Know Nature.

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."

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.

Horace trled the flute at once. His mother, who was in the act of lifting the lid off the soup kettle, forgot what she was doing and dropped the lld with a crash as the steam rose and sealed her. She descended upon Horace, her Singers wrapped in her apron, which, fas any woman knows, Is the remedy for injury. “Whtat-In-th'-nameof.all - that'sgood. and-wonderful," she sald, “are you making that awful nolse about? And what's that you've got in your hand?” “Its my flute,” said Horace proudly. “Well, take st and dute somewhere else,” sald Horace’s mother with de. cision. Horace went sorrowtully to. .ward the barn and sat upon a keg. He eesayed “Coming Thro’ the’ Rye.” Old Sam, the faithful family horse. hhad been dozing in tls stall. He had been dreaming of days gone by. Then it happened. With a snort Sam arose, trembling 4m every limb, and with one leap broke his haiter rope, dashed through the stable, smashed across the wood pile and, breaking through a wire fence, disappeared with supplemental snorts down the rond. Horace looked about him guiltiy. Clearly the old horse was getting nervous. But sturdily he set to work to loarn “Coming Thro’ the Rye.” ‘The sound brought Horace's father out of the lot whero 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 flute, walkod to the oor, and cast it Into the wide, wide world. Then he pointed to the field. “Thore's eighty fence posta out there,” he sald. And Horace followed the general direction of his finger.— Galveston News.

State Seduce STRENGTH OF THE NEW-BORN Muscles of the Forearm Especially ‘Seem to Be Powerful, Says a enies Pediegina 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 Tele: Braph. Modern science has proved that it is quite a possible feat. The new-born babe Is relatively much stronger than a full-grown man, ac- cording to the result of medical tests: “The muscles of the forearm are sur prisingly vigorous. A few hours after birth a baby suspended by its finger to a stick, or to the finger of a per: son, can hold itself In the air for ten seconds, and, In the case of particu. larly strong infants, for as long a3 half a minute. At four days old the child's strength has increased, and the time Is two anda half minutes for 98 per cent. of babies. The maxl- mum Is attained ata fortnight. Few {fants 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 leit 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.

The parson in prunella gaiters 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 ts 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 shoe- maker's method Is to place a layer of thin cloth or paper between the soles before they are sewn. ek ce ceo ce More than $50,000 worth of attar of roses Is brought into this country every year.

PASSING OF GREAT PITCHER Sam Leever, Recently Released by Pittsburg, Had Remarkable Career * —Twelve Years a Pirate. i The recent release of Pitcher Sam Leever by Pittsburg marks the pass- ing of the last remnant of the old Pittsburg team as it was made up be- fore the consolidation of the Ptrates 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 final- ly let out of fast company by Chicago. Leever’s career has been a remark- able one, and shows the old Pirate 10 have been one of the greatest pitchers in the history of the game. For 12 {ull seasons and part of another .pen- nant race he had been a member of the Pittsburg team and until the filght of time cut him down to emergency roles, @ few years ago, he always ranked as one of the most successful slabmen in the majors. Indeed, there {a one feature to his record that put him in a class of his own, for he was champion pitcher of the National teague no less than than three times— 1901, 1903 and 1905—while his name also appeared ut the hoad 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 1s now thirty-eight years of age, was secured by the Pitts- ‘burg 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 filngers in the business, Since joining the Pittsburg team Leaver pitched a grand total of 290 games, and while this 1s not as much work as some other veteran heavers have done, the records of few rivals are to be compared with that of Lee- ver in the all-fmportant matter of percentage of victorles, Of thoze 290 games pitched, Leever won no less that 193 contests, against only 97 lost, for the remarkable percentage of 606.

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.

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. OF QUINCY Has Thrifty Colored Citizens—During the Day You Seldom See One on the Street—They Are All at Work in All Lines—Many Graduations and June Weddings to Occur Soon. SOCIAL AND CHURCH NEWS OUR THEME. The Defender to Supplant All the Other Papers of the City—Our Correspondent Up On All the Doings of This City and We Are Sure She Will Please Those from the Home Town. 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.

Smith, Miss Hazel Smith, one of onr 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. church. Miss Smith is always busy in trying to do something that will be a credit to the race. It iy 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 spealing 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 al ways find her in the Sunday schools trying to teach and instruct the small boys and girls to be honest Chris- tian men and women. Miss Smith does not allow herself to be in com- pany with all classes of bad people. She is highly respected by both white and colored people. 1 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 as- sure her that she will reap her reward at the end. Miss Simith, 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 ave 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 loafers, as we have too many ot 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.

Jones, Photographer. 3519 State street, , Mysterious Disaonéaranca: 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 Ine and started to pull it off. He unraveled several yards of the ficecy 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 Voles Is Heard. ‘What a great country Is Australia It te a country where one can get things done and no words about It No beck talk.

Fresh pineapple juice has great value as a digestive. A small amount will digest a considerable piece of steak or any other animal tissue. Boll- ing, however, seems to kill the enzy- ‘mes in the pineapple, so that after canning {t loses Its digestive power. ‘The pecullar property of pineapple Juice makes it of value In many ways. For instance, in diphtheria it is used ‘as a gargle, and the diphtheria mem: brane disappears like magic at its touch. It seems to have the power of picking out all non-living animal tissues and rapidly digesting them, Teaving all the living tissues. In cases ‘of quinsy, pineapple juice digests all ‘pofsonous tissue, often giving quick relief. Sometimes it ts not best to incise or lance a boll, and the yellow cap may often remain upon the doll without opening, holding back the pus. The application of pineapple Juice Invart- ably establishes free drainage within a short time. For administration in the stomach, pineapple acts, adds the Family Doc- tor, as a preventive rather than a eure, It cannot quickly correct an acute attack of indigestion, though it may prevent an attack.

Ancient peoples—Sabaeans, Phoe- niclang, Etruscans, Oscans, Umbrians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Numidians, Germanic tribes, Iberlans, Celts, Norse —all carved their records in stone and metal. Paper was not as common in those days as now. ‘The permanent.records thus left in- elude religious forms, business ac- counts, royal proclamations and beasta of deéds accomplished, epitaphs, mor- tuary tablets, altars, temples, aque: ducts, tax receipts, etc. Evidently property was not safe in tho old days and they had the habit of writing on seals, gems, vases and other brick-a- brac by way of Identifying them.

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— Mttle ones, of course. Perhaps this explains why, on a single Sunday, 40, 000 men, women and children, princl- pally children, will flock into the Zoo- logical garden at Bronx park in the northern part of New York city. This may explain, too, why, in a. single calendar year nearly one milifon and a half visitors at the park take time —and do it with pleasure—to visit what ts known as the finest zoological exhibit as“we'l as the largest in the world.—Hartlet Quimby, in Lesile’s. eee “Yea," said Alkali Ike, “a couple of cow punchers indulged in a very pret- ty scientific scrap down at Bad Bucke’s yesterday.” “It 1s wonderful how cool those fel- lows keep under the circumstances,” remarked the eastern tourist, “Yaas, they certainly have to be ketp cool, stranger. I believe for some reason or other, thelr funerals ain't te be for a couple o° days yet.” The Airman’s Courtship Mr. Peabody lived for bis daughter Lillian, one of the handsomest 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 muttlmillionaire 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 man- sion, The count moved a Uttle closer to her and sat down on the luxurious di- van covered with the skin of an im- mense polar bear. Plerre de Lus- sones lit a cigarette and they began to chat like old friends, She tried to tease him a little, “So you havo come over here to marry an helress, you say?” “Yes; or, rather, {t was a syndicate sot my ereditors who sent me over. I am tired of everything and only con- sented because 1: gave me an oppor: tunity to take this beautiful trip, my last voyage.” “People say you are going to mar- ry Annie Stangerson.” “That homely littte silly! No, no. I could not do it, and none of the others who are: willing to take mo have enough mouey to gulld our es cutcheon.” “But What do you mean when you speak of your last voyage?” “Lam very fond of you, Miss Lil Wien, you are tho only frlend 1 have in this money crazed country, 80 I will tell you. “My debts amount to three bun dred and odd thousand francs. 1 am tired of a life which I despise, and 1 have no wish to prolong It.

Tomorrow 1 am to make an Attempt at breaking the record for altitude, and so I see a ehance of ond ing my existence in a poetleal man- ner, flying ever higher, toward the sky, until the rarefied alr robs me of my" consciousness, and puts me to sleep forever.” “Sulelde?” “Perhaps. But at any rate is will be a beantiful death and my family ‘will believe {t was an accident.” Lillian blushed a Hittle and said ‘gayly: “I am coming to see you ‘off. I will help you. It will be very exciting.” “Rather voxed, Lussones replied: “Of course, if you Ike sensations, sou will get'all of it you want.” Lillian took two flowers from vase, “Are they not lovely!" she said.“ @o love orchids.” _“E prefer these,” he replied, point: ing to the flowers she was’ wear ing. “Ob, the forget-menots, which you call myosotis.

Dressed in his airman's sult of fur and his close-ftting fur cap, he looked like a big sea Hon, His actoplano was wheeled out of the hangar. Lillian was walking si ently at his side. His only thought was: “This ts to be my last fight.” Lillian, raising herself on tip-toes, sald to him: “Here, Pierre," (sho had never called him by his first name before), “let me tie these flow. ers to your machine.” And sho 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 frgm the motor, a whirring ‘buzz from the propeller and the pow. erful machine began to soar upward He puts on more speed. Upwards he files. He passes through a Inyer ‘of clouds. The air is biting, bie face 1s frozen, bls hands heavy and numb, and his coat collar seems to be grow: “ing too Ught for him. Liliian's bouquet tied firmly to the rod, 1s losing the petals of its flowers one by one, and Lussones says to him self: “This is the way my life will go too." | Suddenly bis eyes open wide, He sees a Uttle blue flower, then one more, and again another.

Lillian {s there, het face {s pale with emotion; she forget: everything, throws her arms abou Plerre’s neck, sobbing and laughing al the same time, “Ob, dear! how I have been afraid I have been terribly punished, but | may as well confess it right here— would have married you, even if you had not broken the record, or I would naver have married at all.” . Confessions of a Tourist oo ‘One of the greatest drawbacks to the pleasures of traveling Is the fool called upon to buy and carry home the steamer whieh fs carrying us from Sydney to Hongkong, and each of them hegan to confess to the foolish things that she was taking home. Mrs. Clark, a nice, sensible looking Woman from Wisconsin, had a bottle she acquired eight months ago, and all ber thoughts and emotions had why she had it, or what she should to achieve that feat had become a slips of ivy cut from the graves of ter E in her hand half way around the world, ‘and she expected to carry it word ‘and sh After I beard about these and a few more of the other women's passes- sions | felt quite superior to think of all the thivgs T had refrained from getting until T remembered my cocoa- nut shells and the native bats and the basket and the alligators, Thaven’t ary alligators now. ‘They were with us on a trip that Charles and 1 mado to Bermuda, ' cannot really say that 1 regret having bowght_my carved cocoanut shells in ‘Tahiti, though they have Leen somewhat Inconvenient to carry. , There are vix of them, carved in a set, and they ure rolling around the floor of our stateroom now, bumping their heads together Iike croquet balls, as it stems impossible to anchor them In any way, Charles was tnclined to think me rather foolish to get anything so in- convenient to carry until he bought the carved spears und the breastplate and the boomerangs and the tomtoms, The teomerangs ean be packed in tho trunks, but the other things have to te carried by band, and as the spears are too long to stand upright or to lle ‘on the floor of the stateroom they have to be placed obliquely across it, and be etepped 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 1s shaped like a flat chopping bow! and it is about as big in diameter as an umbrella. Its unusual size fs, in fact, uhek atlideted beta te ¢ dee eare'T ee eee re eee Ce eee the loveliest little baby alligators any- ‘body ever saw. They wore not more ‘than a foot long. I bought them from fan old fizherman tn Bermuda, 4 ‘thought 1 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 some- thing, I hod a covered traveling box made for them. It lookéd like a va- lise and tt bad a ttle water tank at one end. The alligators really wero not much trouble, except the time they got out on the ship and nearly crefited a panic among the women passengers, who all acted very silly, { thovght. But f 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 thefr corpses. { didn’t want to five them to the chambermatd for fear she would make a fuss, and I felt embarrassed about dropping them info the waste basket or anywhere about the hotel. So-1 just opened one of our windows one day when Charles was not in and tossed them out. I think probably. thelr sudden ar. rival on the sidewalk created quite a commotion from the sounds that fol lowed. Rut I never looked out aud I Durned up the traveling erate in the fireplace. When Charles came home T Just told him the alligators had died ‘and he did not ask any questions, Just now the nephew of the mustc teacher from Davenport, -a sophistl- eated young person for his fifteen sears, came up with a grin and sat down beside me. “1 saw you admiring auntic's Ivy s'ips yesterday afternoon,” sald be. “Well. if you'll promise not to tell her, I'l tell you about those slips. ‘They didn’t come from no mésician’s grave. They're Just plain, ordinary ivy. “You see, she left her basket with ‘me for two weeks in the pension at Lelpste, while she went over to Dres- den, and I forgot to water them, and they all died on me. So T just went out in the pension garden and got some more Ivy and filled up the bas- det again, and she's just, as well satls- fled as she was before. What people don't know don’t burt them."
