NESS VOLUME VI. NUMBER 25. On Tuesday evening last there was a grand concert at Zion church, given and managed by Misses Buelah Walker and Eunice Hunter, who deserve much praise in their unifying efforts in making the concert a success. Among those participating were: Opal Cooper, who sang beautifully; Charles Reese, who did likewise; Lovlyn Miller, piano; Eunice Hunter, pantomime; Mrs. Fannie Hall-Cliet, who always recites beautifully and pleases wherever she goes; Miss Gladys Edwards, whose beautiful lyric soprano voice was heard to good advantage, when she sang with Mr. George Garner, Jr., the duet from "Trovatore," which was beautifully rendered and received repeated encores. Mr. Garner was the star of the evening, as usual. The Grace team will battle with Bethel this afternoon at Washington Park for the leadership of the ProBysterian league. Much interest is beckoning to the game, as it will be the first time that these nines ever played each other. The reading of the annual reports of all departments today. Owing to the illness of the financial secretary, Mrs. Thomas Pearson, her report was not read. The secretary gave a most excellent report of the entire year's work and all enjoyed reviewing the past, as she read it. Much good has been done by the club and it is believed that this year will be full of life, having made changes in all of the offices. The officer installed the new officers and gave them very timely suggestions that will be very helpful during the year. Our officers for the year are Mrs. Wm. Fisher, president; Mimie Mercer, first vice president; Laelie Caldwell, second vice president; Alice Caldwell, recording secretary; Anninta Johnson, financial secretary; Mrs. Ella Johnson, treasurer; Mrs. R. I. Collins, chairman of executive board; Genevieve Coleman, chairman of ways and means; Nora E. Lee, chairman of the house committee. The automobile party was a great success, as we knew it would be. Mrs. Fischer, with the valuable assistance of her daughter, Mrs. Eudora Lockett, and the others of the committee, deserve great credit for the way everything was conducted. Thus far the forklift reads $19, which is excellent for the party. Mr. Buckman made a great many friends for himself on this occasion, for his liberality was greatly shown by looking after the comforts of all present. We are very glad to enroll him as another financial friend of the Phyllis Wheatley Home. We hope the members will rally to the support of our new president and officers and attend each meeting during the summer months. Only one meeting will be held, the first Wednesday in each month. Mrs. Claybourne is chairman of the refreshment committee and will look after the social side, so that our meetings will be more interesting. The program will be arranged by the educational section July 5. J. E. WILEY NEW MOSES OF THE SOUTH TEXAS MAN FOUNDS A CITY. Aided by George Goulds (White) Right Hand Man Builds'up Mill, City, Texas. Special to the Chicago tender. New York, June 22—Not only local but national report has it that Texas, the state of Jack Johnson's heritage, is to become a land of wonder in Nero tradition. The latest thing in genius, which has startled the business world, is what has been the life's York of one J. E. Wiley, who had spent twenty-five years studying the southern law courts, delving into the psychology of the colored race and trying to analyze especially that part their psychology which has beenumental in barring them fromress. He believes he has sued and has come to New York 11. of the ruts, to put him on a level of advancement which timing and to make him a of responsibility, willugh to safely shoulder abilities. Mr. Wiley saw asked the proper idea of method as the greatest us to overcome in establishing responsible standards of building a solid foundation for people in trade. In his effort to build up Mill City, Mr. Wiley Sought the advice of Major B. S. Watken, Mr. Goulds' (white) right hand man in Texas, which awoke new ambition among all the people in the town. It has been intimated by some of the wise men even of the cost that Mr. Wiley is not only looked upon as a new Moses, not of the industrial element of schooling in the same line of Booker T. Washington but in the business world as a man of original ideas adroitly developed by the proportions of his practical advanced ability and instincts. The headquarters of this campaign is just outside Dallas, Texas. There Mr. Wiley has obtained a tract of land, and he has erected a mill for the manufacture of colored goods. In the short space of a year the mill has put in 7,400 looms, and is making practically all the twine for local commercial use. The mill workers live on the land of the model town, which they buy cheap on installments, paying a fraction of each month's wages on the purchase. The mill town, Mill City, as it is called, is governed and conducted by the workers themselves on the lines of a modern municipality. Already there are twenty-five houses built and owned by employees, and the factory is giving employment to forty operatives. New machinery is being installed and within a few months the number of employees is expected to be 400. HOME CLUB FOR MEN. Something That Has Long Been Needed in Chicago. The reporters for the Defender were startled during the week when they heard that the Woods, 2906 Prairie avenue, had made up their minds to rent out their home just as it stands for a home club for men and men only, with piano, library and all modern conveniences, which includes hot and cold water, steam heat, telephone service and everything to add to their comfort. Even a maid has been hired to take care of the house and see that everything is kept in applique order. They have decided, or have bought, a beautiful home where they will stay in the future. The disposing of their southern plantation at a handsome price has caused the change. The home will be for students, refined railroad men and post office men, who have come from refined homes and wish to enjoy club life while in the city. For further particulars write or call 4769 Douglas. THE CHICAGO HOTEL IN NEW OBLEANS. Great praise is due Mr. A. O. Smith of the Chicago hotel of 210-210 South Rampart street, New Orleans, Ia., for the excellent manner in which he is running his hotel. All the guests from this city who spent the winter at the south in the above city say he is really the most progressive man in the town and he believes in print, his own cew bill of fare, which has just reached 100,000 voices that fact. If the printers were as up to date as the business men are, his beautiful bill of fare would have shown much more class than it does. MR. W. L. JACKSON'S GREAT WORK. Mr. W. L. Jackson deserves great credit for producing such fine results as were shown at the first annual commencement of his music school at Odd Fellows' hall on Thursday evening, June 15, to a crowded house. The program showed the progression of the school from the newest pupils to the advanced pupils in solo playing. The piano numbers of Cassie Whittaker, Luvenia Casswell and Harriet Hall were highly appreciated and each was presented with a handsome bunch of flowers. Luvenia Casswell's song was received with a very applauding violin numbers by the boys were played with confidence. Theodore Drown played well and was presented a gold medal and a fine music gene Harris, an advanced pencil. The Chicago Defender. deserves great credit for his rendition of "Sarabande" and brilliance with which he played Carl Bohm's "Moto Perpetuo." Erskine Tate, another advanced pupil, played De Berti's second "Air Varied" and the "Romance" from Wlenlawski's second concerto. From his first attack to his last note the ball was full of music. The brilliance of De Berti's variations was easily displayed and the difficulties of the bowing and fingering of the long "g" string passages were played in ♩ and ♪, the soul, spirit and tire of Wlenlawski's "Romance" waved like a restless breeze, until it on the last high note. The ensemble class of fifteen was a picture. The eight bows moved in perfect unity while the music rose and fell in perfect rhythm. Dr. W. A. Driver made remarks characteristically encouraging the population to rally the Jackson Music school in order to develop that high character which all of us admire in all people. Mrs. W. L. Jackson acted as accompanist throughout the program. Murrell Webb, Wildie Williams, Hular Thompson and Wm. Savage graced the occasion as ushers. The Jackson Music school will be open the entire summer at summer camp. The public is invited to attend the free recital by the pupils, at the school, 3225 and 3227 State street, on the first Wednesday evening in each month. CONCERT WELL ATTENDED AT ZION_CHURCH...

It has been many years since I heard Sylvester Russell sing, but when it was announced that the veteran newspaper writer and critic was to appear at the Pekin beginning June 19 I decided to attend. Like most confirmed "first nighters" I was on hand early Monday night. Unlike Mr. Jim Jeffries, the famous serbe demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt his ability to come back. However, Critic Russell, the terror of the acting profession from the Atlantic to the Pacific, evidently met his Waterloo, for nervousness was apparent from his first appearance and he was compelled to acknowledge the same in a curtain speech after his second number. But he promised to improve as the week went on and from all reports he has done so. The attendance after Monday night pleased the box office and encouraged the performers. During his first number he sang well, but he characterized him as a singer before he quit the stage some four years ago. The audience was small, too small for a house of the prominence of the Pekin. But the lack of numbers was made up in genuine enthusiasm, which vested itself in generous applause and Mr. Russell toly "came back" in a manner that evenly came back in the unfriendly severe but just criticism of his oftimes severe and just criticism of his voice. They were in his position. "If I Forget," by 3. de Koven Thompson, and by reason of his oftimes severe but just criticism of his voice. They were in his position. "If I Forget," by 3. de Koven Thompson, was the number that clearly proved his ability. It was acceptably proved. Four years has played little prominence with his voice and those many prominent alpines. The Stroll" cared as much from this pupil of the old school that produced such artists as Mr. Harry Burleigh, Wm. I. Powell, Airy Burchreth, Flora-Batson Bergen, M. Sissettera Jones and Bessie Lee. Mr. Russell has the hearty congratulations of the Defender for his good work Monday night. Richard B. Harrison, Chicago's favorite reader and tragician, also applauded his piece by Paul Lawrence Sloan. "The Party," was exceptionally good. The evening's program was made up of many other good numbers but leave the review of them to Mr. Russell. Mr. Alfred Anderson, who wrote the lyrics of "If I Forget," was among those in attendance. THE CHRISTIAN RECORDER 60 YEARS OLD. July 22 the Christian Recorder will enter into its sixteenth year of existence. The Recorder is offering a prize to all that will secure fifteen subscribers during the anniversary week. All church workers should be interested as the prize is a handsome Bible with your name inscribed on back in gold. The Defender prays for that ripe old age and hopes it reaches there that it will be getting out three and four issues a day instead of trying hard for one a week. Much credit is due our friend and countryman, Rev. R. R. Wright, Jr., for his uniting efforts, for since he took up the world we have learned that there are women in the church that do things as well as men. This alone speaks volumes. We hope the women of the church or connections will take the hunch from the Defender and see to it that this young man is taken care of. DR. KNIGHT WOULD APPLY ICE WATER-OUCH! To the Editor of "The Defender": To the Editor of "The Defender": Dear Sir: After spending nearly a year sheying the condition of the writer that made me feel necessary attack upon me in last week's Chronicle, I have diagnosed his case as one of feebility. It is a prodromal symptom of insanity. Its treatment, if carried out, will prevent the approaching catastrophe—which is partly hydrotherapy and partly psychotherapy. The first, by taking an ice-water bath morning and evening. The second, just before and after getting in and out of the bath, to keep in mind that you cannot prevent God's purpose. C. H. KNIGHT, M. D. Surely Queen of All Hens. A certain industrious hen, interested in the welfare of Petaluma, Cal., has gone so far in her efforts to spread the renown of the city of eggs and broilers that she recently placed four yolks in one shell. Her zealousness was discovered by a firm of egg merchants, Whitcomb & Baker. The egg was slightly larger than normal. It looked like a regular egg until a candle gave an X-ray view of four small yolks. An hunt is still being made because the hunt was made during a number of other eggs containing two yolks, but the egg with the four yolks, is said to break all records. 8TH REGIMENT FIELD DAY Great Success, Many Thousands Attend—Wall Scaling and Battle Scene, with Blowing up of Bridge, Made Scene Dramatic. OFFICERS COOL UNDER FIRE. Mr. R. R. Jackson Smokes Cigar During Whole Battle—Col. John R. Marshall Told About 30 Men to Die, and They Just Died, That's All!—5,000 Attended. The Entire South Side Citizens Thank Mr. Comiskey Along with the 8th Regiment for His Kindness in His Gift to the Boys of the Use of His Park. By J. Hock Smiley. The annual field day exercises of the Eightth Infantry, I. N. G., at the White Sox ball park, Sunday last, June 18, was the greatest social event ever among the race in Chicago. With perfect weather, amid surroundings almost ideal, 18,000 persons enjoyed the unusual entertainment. Early in the afternoon Col. John R. Marshall was somewhat writ with Editor Abbott for predicating that 20,000 would be in attendance, but it was clearly proven afterwards that Mr. Abbott was a pretty good forecaster of numbers, for residents along 35th street will bear witness that the "turn out" on Sunday was only equaled when the South Side idols (White Sox) were "at home" and had some mighty good opponent. "Everybody was there," said an officer of the regiment, after the return to the armory. The writer agrees with the remark, for the attire was up of our best men and women from Chicago, Evanston, Blue Island, Springfield and Batavia. Being Sunday every one was arrayed in his best "bib and tucker" and from the field at one time the grandstand with its display of colors gave it a kaleidoscopic effect and reminded one of the lamented days of the Derby. What Real War Is. "Field Day" exercises, demonstrating the actual work of the soldier, is unknown to the majority of our citizens, excepting those who annually journey to the encampment at Springfield. Consequently the roar of shot and shell fell upon the cars of many for the first time. Many were timid while move of the regiment was awaited while the program was arranged to cover all the ordinary features of military work. In detail it was as follows: Band concert, Eighth Regiment Band, Sergt, Wm. E. Berry, Band Master, Skirmish drill, Co. A., Captain Beirs, commanding, Company drill, Co. B, Capt. Alexander, commanding, Wall scaling, Co. C, Capt. Hunt, commanding, Manual of Arms, Co. D, Capt, Pinckney, commanding, Exhibition drill, Co. E, Capt. commanding, Platton drill, Co. F, Capt. Arnett, commanding, Regiment in Camp, Shelter Tent Drill, Battalion drill, Major R. R. Jackson, commanding, Butt's manual (music), the Regiment, Battle exercises: Blue Army Co's. E and F, Major F. A, Denison, commanding, Red Army, Co's. A, B, C and D, Major R. R. Jackson, commanding (1) Situation, Blue: Rear Guard Action—a defeated blue detachment is retreating south. The rear guard, consisting of Companies E and F, Third Battalion, Eighth Infantry, and detachment of Hospital Corps, has reached a defile. The front is suitable for defense. The front is commanded Officer, Major Denison, decides to throw up intrenchments to delay the enemy. This command has been reduced by casualties and its transportation has been captured or destroyed. The attack has been repulsed. (1) Situation, Red: Advance Guard—a Red detachment has badly defeated a small Blue force which has rapidly retreated south much demoralized. The Advance Guard Commander, Major Jackson, First Battalion, Eighth infantry and detachment Hospital Corps has succeeded in capturing or destroying a portion of the Blue Rear Guard and its wagon train; arrives on the north of a marrow valley only to find the Blue force entrenched at the entrance of a defile on the opposite side. He decides to attack at once and is repulsed, being unable to cross an arrover in front of the Blue position. Dress parade, the Regiment, Col. John R. Marshall, commanding. Numbers 3 and 4 are Scaning. wall scaling and shelter tent drill, respectively, were features of considerable interest. The "Battle," of course, was the event of the day. So realistic was it that many believed that when the hospital corps promptly carried from the field the dead and wounded that the casualties were indeed true. Dress parade, with Col. Marshall in command, added new interest. "The triumphal march home gave the day the aspect of one during the trying times 605," said an old veteran, who proudly tramped from the park to the armory. The Leader of Them All. Up to Sunday it was conceded that the White Sox and the gallant Eighth were the South Siders' two best drawing cards. Now both Sox and Eighth must take a back seat and all honor be given to the owner of the famous team who so generously gave the un- reserved use of the grounds to the Eighth. Sunday, both in and out of the regiment, his name vied with that of the Eighth, and he may be assured that whenever "the boys" are at home the people that the Chicago Defender represents will be out in large numbers and give that variety of color to the assemblage that has ever made all large gatherings in the country the talk of the world. Jack Johnson Attends Coronation. Special Wireless to the Chicago Defender. London, June 23—Jack Johnson and wife were the special guests of Lord and Lady Hedwich, and were presented to the king and queen at the ball. All of London are still wild over Jack Jack will give a special exhibition before the king and queen on the lawn at Buckingham palace on Saturday afternoon. Colored men and women who are in attendance at the coronation report excellent times. Many have marveled at the way white Americans will associate with them there, where the nobility recognize them. S. Collaridge Taylor's choral society, 500 years old, 2,000 voices, sang, Mr. Taylor is an African married to an English lady. SAMUEL R. PEYTON GRADUATES AT AGE OF 12 YEARS. Raymon Graduates Forty-eight, Three at the Age of Twelve. There was great rejoicing at the home of Mrs. Peyton, 3612 Prairie avenue, last night over the early, graduation of "Samnieh" at the tender age of 12 years. When seen by a reporter for the Defender he said: "Well, I have not made up my mind as yet as to what my future plans will be, but I am going to try and get me a job, so I can be ready for my high school course, which I am determined to take. I want to take a trade at the same time I am taking my course, and then when I start to college I will be prepared to work my way through like Booker T. Washington did." The others that graduated in my class at my age were Miss Lilian Jess (white) and Miss Irene Hudlin, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel M. Peyton are the proudest mortals on earth. This is their only son, and they both claim that he takes after each of them. This young man can cook, wash, scrub, take care of the furnace—which heats a three-flat building which they own at the above number, and runs errands for neighbors. Mrs. Peyton says she has a job for him and had it over a month ago, but did not let him know until he reads it in the Defender, the paper he likes to read, so he will rest two weeks and then go to work.

Mrs. Cone is one of the most beautiful characters and has one of the greatest minds of the present age. CARRIE SANFORD GETS TEN YEAR . SENTENCE. (From Cheyenne State Leader.) Carrie Sanford, the colored woman who on May 4 shot and killed another colored woman by the name of Bessie Taylor, yesterday pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced by Judge Matson to serve a sentence of from ten to eighteen years in the Colorado state penitentiary at Canon City, Colo., wherein, under contract, the Wyoming female penitentiary convicts are Kept. The sentence given the woman was a most admirable evidence of our old wise understanding of the law in the case of unfortunate criminals who have established fixed reputations as hardened criminals. A sentence of the character given this woman is adequately sufficient to provide all the punishment which can conduce to reformation and give the prisoner a chance to be released from prison whilst she will yet be at that age when she can reenter society and become self-supporting and useful to the body politic. Her family in the cast, who are highly respected colored citizens of Evanston, Ill. sent here as their personal representative a distinguished colored lawyer by the name of John R. Auter, who made a fine impression upon the three sons of the citizen whom he. Returned home several days ago, leaving the case in the danger of 'General John Charles Thompson who, by the court's appointment, represented Carrie Sanford in the district court. Why Will I Was Late "Why, Willie, what kept you so late? Did you have to stay after school? I'm afraid you have been naughty." "No, ma'ma', I can't never be naughty." Jonne jones was licked for beer, naughty, and waited after school to hear him yell." PRICE 5 CENTS PRIVATE BANK SHOWS MERIT PRIVATE BANK SHOWS MERIT Record of Banking House of W. H. Bowers & Co. Vindicates Utility and Even Necessity of Private Institutions—Sound Methods, Broad Facilities and High Reputation Disprove Recent Agitation. Ever since a speaker in the last annual convention of Illinois bankers made a spectacular attack upon the private banks of the state, the friends of the latter institutions have rallied to their defense. That these loyalists have had all the better of it may be assumed when one sees that the majority of the delegates at the convention pointedly disavowed any sympathy with the speaker's attitude. His plan for the regulation of private banks along the lines now followed in state and national banks was dismissed as visionary. That he should class the three as one simply showed his own ignorance of proportion. One of the private banks in Chicago which is always held up as a good example of what these institutions accomplish is the banking house of W. H. Bowers & Co. 4-6 East Thirty-first street, corner of State street. As is frequently the case, this bank was the outgrowth of the realty-brokerage business which has been operated by W. H. Bowers & Co. for twenty years. In fact, in the territory lying between the lake and Hassleford street and between 22d and 39th streets their interests are almost dominant. They have the complete confidence of the business concerns and residents, and after years of through trial and demonstration the firm's name has come to be an equivalent for honest methods and satisfaction to patrons. The launching of the bank, when the asset of such a good name was possessed, was therefore very timely. The years that have passed since have still more fully proved the wisdom of the move. The bank now enjoys the patronage of the community, and the business houses almost without exception prefer it to the downtown banks because of its accessibility. Furthermore, the merchants seem to appreciate the fact that they are dealing directly with the man whose name is in the title. There is something to a depositor to know that at any time the bank would look straight in the eye of the man who is behind it. And this is the prime merit of the private bank, the merit which the bankers' convention speaker would take away from it in case the red-tape regulations went into effect. The co-operation made possible by the personal relations to the private banker and his patronage would be nullified. The banking house of W. H. Bowers & Co. encourages savings accounts. As said before, most of the merchants in the vicinity maintain checking accounts with it because of its centrality. The bank is also equipped with safety deposit vaults of the strongest construction. In fact, in every department of its organization the institution offers patrons the greatest court and convenience for themselves, and the fullest security for their money. It is in the steady growth of such banks in their hold on public confidence that the province of the private bank is too sweepingly vindicated to permit of criticism at this late day. SIR LEWIS F.

You only have one colored paper in the United States which gives you space and that is The Chicago Defender. Remember that. And there was one other which promised to give space, but failed to do so, and I am satisfied that you who have subscribed for that paper, when your subscription expires it will be a dead one in your eyesight, on account of its not keeping its promises with your representative, which you have in Chicago. So I advise you all to rally to The Chicago Defender, which you can depend upon, seeing something in each issue pertaining to our colored men of the rail, I remain, gentlemen, your humble servant. John R. Winston. I am an assistant user's friend. Tell you friend information. Defender and have them read and subscribe for it and you will be doing me a favor. Let us get together. Easing a Cough. For children who have passed the baby stage, linseed tea is the best thing known to ease a cough. Pour two quarts of boiling water on one ounce of whole linseed and twelve drachms of licorice root sliced. Add to this a slice or two of lemon. Let this stand in a jug covered over for six or seven hours, then strain it and sweeten to taste and it will be ready for use. The Falal Ring. An amazing story is told by the late head of the Paris morgue. Five times within his experience dead bodies brought to the morgue were found to be wearing a certain ring easily distinguishable by its strange design. It bore in Eastern characters this legend: "May whoever wears this ring die a miserable death." M. Mace, late chief of the Paris police, vouchers for the truth of this.

MAN HASN'T MASTERED HER Characteristics and Peculiarities of American Woman Due to This. Says Marian Cox. Few books in recent years have created a greater stir in America than "The Crowds and the Velled Woman," a masterly study of psychology which has just puzzled and surprised the thinkers across the Atlantic. Its writer, Miss Marian Cox of New York, who is spending a few days in London, is a dreamy-eyed woman—almost a girl, with an amazing imaginative faculty and a depth of thought which one might guess was bottomless. Discussing the American woman generally, she expressed some interesting views. "The emotional imagination of the American woman," she said, "is starved in the utilitarian civilization of her own country, and this explains why she flocks to Europe for her chief enjoyment and interest. "From the excess of leisure—with which the American man's industry has dowered her—she has developed both the virtue and the vice of leisure, imagination and curiosity. And now where can they be satisfied but in Europe. "A true Eve, she is primitive enough to hunger after all the fruits upon the tree of knowledge and is civilized enough to desire no one but herself to enjoy them. She desires to shut out everyone—sometimes even her husband—from her own little epicurean garden of success. For her life is a calculated egotism. This is the cause of her famed snobbishness, hardness and self-assertiveness. With American women action takes place of emotion; experience takes the place of sympathies. "She is a born adventurer—on whom is engrafted a caste-worshiping Brahmin. No matter if she can trace her ancestry to the Mayflower—and all ambitious Americans do—she has the emigrant instincts in her—instincts which have made the American men the bravest and most initiative in the world, but have made her the most restless, striving, sensitive and audacious woman in the world. "She is incapable of feeling fear, and so is incapable of deep love or religion. She adopts acts and cults because of her ever-mobile vitality and curiosity, as a substitute for her lack of religion, and she plays the 'game of love' better than the woman in any other nationality, for she loves with her head and not with her heart. "She is eternal cellate coquette, who is never won, but is always bent on conquest. And all her characteristics and peculiarities issue from the fact that the American man has never mastered her," she added with a puzzling little smile.—London Morning Leader. An Ominous St. Louis Sign An Ominous St. Louis Sign. There is a sign in St. Louis reading "Hellrung & Grimm." At first one merely smiles at it and passes on. But the thing haunts you. There it is in great yellow letters—sulphurous letters—on a background, of gloomy black. For a time you content yourself with saying that one is Hellrung and the other is Grimm, but eventually the personalities fade and you consider the statement as a whole. It is almost profane in its direct assertion of a condition and not a theory. We assert that this sign is the most obsessing in the country. You will not be able to forget it. At this moment you may p lay and pooh, and say it is all nonsense, but before you go to sleep tonight "Hellrung & Grimm" will clatter and clamor through your brain like a set of brazen bells falling into a heap of dishpans and cymbals. Tomorrow you will try to shake it off, but by that time it will begin to whisper to you—a sluy, shuddering sort of whisper. Day after tomorrow it will assure a grim—(there it goes again)—a grim, cacophonous cadence, and the next day it will rumble through your thoughts as persistently as the refrain to Poe's "Bells." There is something Dantesque about it. It tempts weird rhymes. It sounds like a warning. Let us see now what its effect will be upon you. Here's Newest Beauty Wrinkle. Here's Newest Beauty Wrinkle. The old nursery of "Beauty and the Beast" has just been revived by the fashionable beauties of Paris in a way calculated to accentuate their charms. They are surrounding themselves with the ugliest maidservants imaginable. Their constant companions are the most hideous pets imaginable. One celebrated beauty. Mile. Manon Loti, has engaged a dwarf who is described as having "a termendous head, a malevolent expression and hardly any legs," and Mile. Loti takes him out walking with her every afternoon in order that his ugleness will emphasize her own beauty all the more. Mile. Mistinguette, the dancer, has engaged as maid a Hindu woman with ringed ears and a face which is by no means attractive. Other beauties are selecting equally unattractive folks, and the fashion is said to be spreading just as rapidly as ugly servants and pets can be found. Aged Couple Honored. To be scrienaded by a guard's band was the unique experience of Herr Fritz Furse, who is ninety-eight years old, and his wife, who is aged ninety-one, when, the other day, they celebrated the seventieth anniversary of their marriage at Potsdam. Both Furse and his wife are in excellent health. The kaiser, who takes a keen interest in the couple, as the oldest residents of Potsdam, sent the band of the First Foot Guards to play outside their house in honor of the occasion. Prince Joachim, with all the officers of the same regiment, called on the old folks and offered their congratulations, as old the mayor and oldermen of Potsdam. Too Proud for Occupation.

HOTEL NEWS All Up-to-Date Bell News and News of Bell Hops. By S. Adams. One of the oldest hotels in the South was the Yarborough House, in Raleigh. It has been closed for repairs, and when the architects and carpenters and plasterers and decorators get through it is expected to be as good as new. In recent years it was much improved, and one of the improvements was in the character of the dining room service, which was better when it closed than it had ever been, because Howell Cobb, the proprietor, had made an experiment which turned out well, so well that it might be followed in other houses with advantage. Six months or more ago the colored men waiters, who are so often incompetent and inattentive, were dropped out and were succeeded by colored girls, who dressed in black skirts and with white aprons, served the guests with less confusion and with more intelligence and cleanliness than the Negro men. So far as we know, this is the first time such an experiment has been made in a big hotel, and it has worked so well here that it might work as well elsewhere. It opens a new field for the colored girls, and should go a long way towards solving another of the difficult problems with which inklekeepers have to deal. There is no reason why the plan should not work, as the same service has been found entirely satisfactory in thousands of Southern homes. Being cognizant of the aggressive ability of our women, it is not surprising that they have entered this avenue of labor. They are well qualified for it. In childhood the loving command of mother to "Set the table, it is meal time," or "Bring mother so and so," has been the means of rearing for us women who are capable of holding positions as waitresses in the most fastidious hotel or cafe. This not the fact that our girls are coming into a field of labor heretofore the almost exclusive right of colored men in the southland, but it is the cause that has led up to the effect, namely, the untidiness and carelessness of the men. This is the thing to be deplored. Atlantic City has colored girls as waiters to the number of two hundred and fifty, which in itself is appalling. It is surely up to the men to "look to their work!" Several weeks ago the reporter wrote an article on the schools for waiters in England, and would like to inform the men that the day schools of this country teach daily to our girls domestic science, which embraces the culinary art as well as the art of waiting table and many other useful things. Then does it not appear to you that the men must wake up if they wish to fortify themselves against total extinction in the hotel world? Wm. McKnight, one of Chicago's old boys, who has been for several years head waiter at the Baltimore Hotel in Kansas City, Kan., has informed the reporter of Salt Lake City, Utah, having started the excavation for its two-million-dollar hotel. McKnight sends greetings to all the boys. Henry Allen of Chicago recently returned to us from Gulf Port, Miss, where he has successfully held a position as head waiter. Mr. Allen will be with us only a few days. He is engaging a crew of waiters to take with him to his old position at Ottawa Beach, Milch. Frank Johnson, private waiter at the Warner Hotel, this city, is suffering with a severe attack of rheumatism and has been compelled to give up his position. He has gone to West Baden, Ind.; while there he will test the efficacy of the mineral springs. The Defender wishes for him a speedy recovery. AND READY TO FIGHT AGAIN Cat Refused to Be a Party to Proceedings by Which She Officially Died. Jerry the pet cat of the Stolz family of Bloomfield, N. J., considerably startled its mistress when the other afternoon, it appeared at the kitchen door after having been buried as dead during the course of the preceding forenoon. Jerry is of a warlike disposition, and during a recent combat, sustained such injuries that the family decided to put him out of misery. Accordingly the garbage man was prevailed on to place the pet animal in an old tin boiler, pour in chloroform and put on the lid. In a few minutes Jerry was "dead." He was buried and the Stolz children covered the grave of their friend and playmate with flowers. But life to Jerry was sweet, so when Mrs. Stolz opened the kitchen door later, she found him waiting for admittance. Mrs. Stolz screamed and ran, but her husband let the cat in, and declared he would not permit the warrior to be "killed" again. ```markdown ``` Rapid Increase of Life. As illustrating the enormous powers of reproductive increase in the vegetable world, the case of a common weed, the Sisymbrium Sophia, may be cited. This weed produces three quarters of a million seeds, and these, if they all grew and multiplied, would in three years cover the whole land surface of the globe. Darwin calculated that the slowest breeding of all animals, the elephant, would in 750 years, from a single pair, produce 19,000,000 individuals. Rabbitts would, from a single pair, produce 1,000,000 individuals in four or five years.

A number of the pithy and sometimes humorous sayings of the characters in Kate Langley Bosher's new novel, "Miss Gibble Gault," have already been published. Here are some more bits from Mary Cary's lips and those of her new friends in "Miss Gibble Gault": Ancestor worship isn't all Chinese. An ill-bred gentleman-born is still welcomed where an ill-born well-bred man is not invited. I couldn't see a dog hit his tail on a fence and not tell him it was barbed if I knew it and he didn't. Major Allen didn't really believe the Almighty made common people. He thought they came up like weeds and underbrush and, though you couldn't cut them down exactly, you must keep them down somehow. Young people have very different ideas from their pearls. They plank themselves right straight alongside of men and say they are just as smart as men are. Of course they are. Women have always known it, but they used to have too much sense to tell it. I often think of what my old mammy told me the day I was married: "Don't never forget, honey, that what your marryin' is a man," she said, "and don't be expectin' of all the heavenly virtues in him. They alm't thar." There is nothing a man can stand so much of as praise. With only occasional exceptions a woman has just about the kind of husband she makes the man who marries her become. Through the ages man has been too sensible to wear petticoats and pink ribbons himself, but liking to see them worn, he put them on woman and told her she was pretty in them. An Irishman can talk a cabbage into a rose any day. And when he's got a rose to talk about his own tongue couldn't tell what it might say after it starts The Willy Wolf. In the school of woodcraft and knowledge of how to keep out of danger wolves have no four footed equals. The fox is a dune in comparison; the coyote, or prairie wolf, a fool, and the rest nowhere. The giant moose, king of the Canadian woods, is the most difficult of all the deer species to stalk in the fall months, but nevertheless it is often stalked successfully and shot by amateurs. Not so the wolf. Knowing this, and that true sport must combine a maximum of exertion and even danger to a minimum of destruction (though nothing would be said about the destruction of too many wolves), also that there was more honor to be gained in outwitting and shooting one wolf than a dozen easily stalked and innocent deer, the writer organized a wolf hunt for the winter of 1908-9, built three log cabins some miles apart and invited sportsmen to participate During the three midwinter months they came into camp in twos and threes for a week or ten days' hunt. To all of them the sport was new, healthful and exciting, not to say dangerous, considering the quarry sought and the risk of breaking through thin ice on lakes and rivers in its pursuit — Wide World New Use for Sugar Beet An entirely new use, and one that may in time become very important, has been discovered for sugar beets. This is the making of them into flour. This flour is now being manufactured in considerable quantities at Suresnes, France, where an immense dryer has been built for the purpose. The first part of the process consists in chopping up the beets and drying the water out of them. They contain to start with 72 per cent. of water nearly all of which is removed by evaporation. By this means 100 pounds of dry material is obtained from 357 pounds of beets. This dry material contains more than 70 per cent of sugar and therefore on being ground to a fine meal is exceedingly sweet and adapted to the making of cakes and puddings. The sugar beet flour is estimated to contain something like 82 per cent. of pure nutrient—Baker's Weekly. Justice Harlan's Scarab. "I was riding down Pennsylvania avenue in a car with Justice Harlan of the United States Supreme court," remarked Charles Francis Bedice of Missouri, "and after admiring the fine old man whose portraits we see in the capitol I could not help noticing the fine scarf that he wears as a scarfpin. "I have looked over the senators and other members of the Supreme court and have not noticed that any other one of them wears a scarfpin. They may have them at home, but Justice Harlan wears one that would attract an expert. The genuine ones are becoming rare, and that is why the Harlan scarfpin would be noticed. "To tell the truth, the genuine ones are scarce enough, so great has been the demand for them, but the museums have great collections that will never be broken up for the sake of scarfpin."—Washington Post. A Slave to Habit In reward for faithful political service an ambitious saloonkeeper was appointed police magistrate. "What's the charge agin this man?" he inquired when the first case was called. "Drunk, yer Honor," said the policeman. "Gully, or not guilty?" he demanded. "Sure, sir," faltered the accused, "I never drink a drop." "Have a cigar, then," urged His Honor, persuasively, as he absently polished the top of the judicial desk with his pocket handkerchief. Travel Made Shorter The journey from Paris to Tokyo soon will be shortened from fifteen to less than twelve days by the completion of . new railroad in Manchuria. Valley Forge Is Rich in Historic Associations. Whizzing Automobiles Now Bring Groups of Patriotic Sightseers to This Scene of the Revolution's Darkest Days. Philadelphia, Pa.—Through the lovely wooded hills and up and down the valleys which give the name of that historic spot, Valley Forge, the scene of the darkest days of the Revolution, go rushing and whizzing nowadays the bourly automobiles bringing groups of patriotic tourists from all the country. What a change in the spot and in the people since that time when Washington and his suffering heroes camped among these picturesque hills. What a gap between those footsore, discouraged men and the pleasure-seekers whirled in luxury through this great national park. For some eight miles the motor route circles about over the fine park roads, and on every side the natural charms of the beautiful scenery are enhanced by the hostic associations. Many memorial tablets have been erected, marking where different divisions of the army or various commanders were stationed. Here and there are log cabins, reproductions of the old huts, and standing on the old sites. There are lines of the old entrenchments to trace, and much else of interest to a student of military affairs, but the automobile is too swift for study of this sort. The Memorial chapel, unfortunately, does not lie on the route taken; it requires, and well deserves, a separate trin. One does, however, pass the old school house, built by Letitia Renn in 1703, which was occupied by the Continental army as a hospital during the winter of 1777-1778. The flag floats over it, and a group of budding citizens, who ought to develop remarkable loyalty educated in such a shrine of liberty, flock out for recess as the motor car passes. But the central point of the trip is, of course, Washington's headquarters. This plain old stone structure is a fine example of the sturdy buildings of Colonial times. In its simplicity and Washington's Headquarters. strength it shames the filmsy work of modern contractors. The interior is very interesting. The two main rooms on the ground flour open from the wide paneled hall with ample small-paned windows. In both reception room and office the walls are adorned with portraits, and valuable relics in cases and in the old-fashioned chimney cupboard attract the eye. "Grandfather's clock ticks in the corner, and an old gun fills the open fireplace. Across an open passage through which sun and wind have full play, is a wing containing the quiet old kitchen. While this separation of the kitchen from the main body of the house has some advantages, the modern housewife would certainly object to the unnecessary steps it occasions. And she would doubtless be a loss to get a meal over the fireplace with its hanging hooks and pots. From the pump room adjoining the kitchen a steep flight of steps descends to an underground passage, only lighted from an opening in the jawn above. The other end of the passage once communicated with the river and thus afforded a means of refuge and escape in case of surprise by the enemy. That end has been closed up, but the curious investigator can descend and walk along the damp, dark passage, with thoughts of the dangerous days when such a secret way was deemed necessary. The bedrooms on the floor above are very attractive in their quaintness. They have been furnished by different chapters of the Daughters of the Revolution with suitable antique furniture so they must look very much as they did in the hours when Washington reposed in the big "four-poster," or in the straight-backed chair by the fireplace brooded over the perils of the country. On the third floor, to which one must climb with bonded head if a bump is to be avoided, the bedroom is as cozily old-fashioned as anything in the house. Much time might be profitably spent in looking over the maps, plans, etc., which hang about the walls of the hall and the main rooms, but the interest of the average tourist in such matters is soon glutted and he prefers to walk about the lawn and view the house from every side, or stroll down to the Schuylkill river in front of the headquarters and people the scene with the figures of Washington and his veterans. Canada Ahead of Uncle Sam Washington.—Canada seems to handle some things better than Uncle Sam. Investigation into the railway express companies there shows that the Dominion Express company has a paid up capital of $2,000,000, issued at a cash cost of $600,000, and that the Canadian Express company has a capital of $3,000,000, issued at a cost of only $313,000. The board of railway commissioners says that in order to keep down the scale of their dividends these express companies, even on this large capitalization, paid over to the railway hundreds of thousands of dollars. The commissioners find the rates are excessive and must be reduced, and declare the railways could do all the express business without any express companies. Calls promptly answered R. W.

Winchester, 3223 State DIDN'T SEEM TO WORK OUT Dog Owner's Idea Bright Enough but Somehow Her Memory Got Twisted. To Miss Bounce, who knows nothing whatever about dogs and can scarcely tell a greyhound from a St. Bernard, Mr. Kennell presented a fine young Airdale terrier. He was extremely wide awake and active, even for a pup, and the young lady was kept constantly on the alert to prevent his getting into mischief or running into danger. Casting about in her mind for a suitable name for this restless animal Miss Bounce remembered that in her school days she had learned in her philosophy that "wind is air in motion". What more appropriate name, then, for the young Airdale than Wind. So Wind he was called. His name, thought Miss Bounce, also will aid me memorically to remember the name of the species to which he belongs. "What kind of a dog is that pup of yours?" asked some one a few weeks after the christening. Miss Bounco's eyes roved anxiously for an instant, but steadied themselves directly as she replied with confidence, "He is a Wind Hound."

THING HE CAN'T DO WITHOUT His Regular Sleep, and This He Finds He Must Have at Hla Regular Hours. "One thing that I find I must have," said a man of mature years, "its sleep, and in order to keep fit and able to work I must not only have my full amount of sleep, but I must have it in my regular sleeping hours. "When I was a youngster I could go without sleep, or I could take an hour or two at any time of the night and get up the next morning and go at it fresh as a daisy, but it isn't so now. If I cut off an hour or two's sleep now I am dull next day. Not until the next day after, that, after a full night's sleep, I do come back all right. And even after my full number of hours of sleep, if these have been begun an hour or two later than usual, with the sleep continued later, I don't feel chipper; I must have my full sleep in my regular hours. I account for this on the supposition that I now have strength enough to keep me going through the day in good shape, just so long and no longer; if I work or sit up later I overtax my strength and so make myself correspondingly overtired; and to recover from this I must come back to my accustomed ways of living."

When Mr. Henderson broke down in California his partner hurried him to Chicago, where a benefit was given at the Monogram Theater, which netted nearly one aundred dollars. When Sam Davis broke the news that Henderson was unfinancial, his dues were unlawfully paid up by his partner, but the money was accepted and after the wild-fated actor was forced to be taken to the consumptive ward of the County Hospital, where Goldie Crosby-Perrin, Pauneine Dempsey, Blanch Carl, E. D. Burts and Mr. Russell were his most frequent visitors. Mr. Carl gave out that the C. V. B. A. would bury him, and that they did with great honor. SYLVESTER RUSSELL. REGULAR WEEKLY REVIEW.

Corwell are pleased to learn that he has been appointed chief of the staff of the Barton colored enterprises by General Manager Feldman. Mr. Corwell has been identified with colored shows for five years and is considered an experienced showman. He first attracted attention as musical director, and, owing to his executive ability, was given the management of a company. Last season Mr. Corwell was sent in charge of the Smart Set Company No. 2, and the able manner in which he handled the business of the show, which was put out in the nature of an experiment, brought him into higher favor with the Barton people. The Choral Study Club of Chicago, which has been so highly advertised for the past fortnight, will present "Castilla," by Protheroe, and "Bon Bon Suite," by S.

Theodore Henderson Dead Theodore Henderson, late of Henderson & Thomas, died at the County Hospital in the consumptive ward, where he had been given the best of care Friday, June 16, at 1 p.m. The body which was taken charge of by Sylvester Russell for The Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association of New York, was at once removed to R. W. Green's undertaking rooms, where the funeral took place on Tuesday, June 20, 1911 in the private chapel. Rev. Dr. W. D. Cook, pastor of Quima Chapel A. M. E. Church, officiated. The body rested in a handsome purple plush casket. A handsome heart pillow of roses stood on a pedestal and two large bunches of carvations from Goldie Crosby and Gertie Brown lay beneath the heart. The services were simple and impressive. "Nearer, My God, to Thee" and "Jesus, Lover of My Soul" were sung, and the funeral was over. The pall-bearers were Sam H. M. Davis, Bert Murphy, Tom Fletcher, Sandford McKissick, John Jones and Mr. Bruce, c. C. V. B. A. members. The mourners were Mrs. M. L. Perrin (Goldie Crosby), Miss Gertie Brown and Sylvester Russell, who accompanied the body to Oak Hill Cemetery alone and saw it interred on a hillside where a tall oak tree cast its shadow at the foot of the grave. After the flowers were placed, Mr. Russell returned to the city. Mr. Henderson's father, who is said to reside in Brooklyn, and Dike Thomas, who is on the road with another partner, could not be located. Among others who attended the funeral were George Williams, J. Morgan Prince, Ollie Reese, Mr. and Mrs. Clark, George Hillman, Harry Goodman, Mrs. Harvey, Mrs. Johnson, G. Anderson, W. B. Werke, etc. Theodore Henderson, who was only 28 years old, was an excellent performer, and took rank especially as the best imitator of George W. Walker, and looked more like him than any other actor, and was also a good dancer. He first became popular in Boston, Mass., and the team was at once booked over all the big time. When Mr. Henderson broke down in California his partner hurried him to Chicago, where a benefit was given at the Monogram Theater, which netted nearly one hundred dollars. When Sam Davis broke the news that Henderson was unfinancial, his dues were unlawfully paid up by his partner, but the money was accepted and after the wild-fated actor was forced to be taken to the consumptive ward of the County Hospital, where Goldie Crossy-Perrin, Pauline Dempsy, Blanch Carl, E. D. Burts and Mr. Russell were his most frequent visitors. Mr. Carl gave out that the C. V. B. A. would bury him, and that they did with great honor. He sleeps beneath a tall oak tree, Far from his father and his home; From friends and enemies alike; From his beloved partner, Dike; No more on earth to roam. MR. S. RUSSELL AT THE PEKIN It is not an easy matter, after about four years of complete rest, for a concert singer to come out of retirement and show up to any great advantage, Patti, the world's greatest soprano of her time, never did it. Her appearance in New York City, after years of retirement, was a complete failure, in that the young singer gained nothing by having heard her. And while Mr. Russell has proved no exception, we must concede that he knows how to present a theme. For he never begins a phrase too loud nor ends it too abruptly, which is one of the finer points of training we too often overlook. His pitch was good and words distinct, and he has a tenor voice of good quality.—W. H. Hackney. SAVED FOR FURTHER SERVICE Good Old Teapot, Precious Relic, Could Not Be Allowed to Become Prey of Flames. The hotel is in flames. Sadly the guests and servants gaze at the roaring pyre. Suddenly they see the proprietor dash madly in at the blazing doorway. "He has gone to rescue someone!" they gasp. Tensely they wait his reappearance. One minute. Two minutes. Three. Has he perished in that crackling furnace? No! No! See, there he comes, singed and scorched, but safe. What is that he carries so carefully in his arms? It is the hotel teapot, half-fall of nice black tea. Cheers rewarded the proprietor for his noble act of sentiment. For twelve years the teapot has stood on the back of the kitchen range, boiling faithfully away. For twelve years it has poured out its lifeblood in response to the calls of the transient world for drink, and the tea leaves in its dark old depths will do for many years to come.—Newark News. STEEL SPECKS IN THE FLOUR Man of Science Announces Gravely That This Is One of the Causes of Appendicitis. Dr. Edred M. Conner of London, alleges that appendicitis is due to white flour. Steel from the mill rollers gets into the flour. We eat this minute steel and as it goes round the bend it shunts off on the blind sliding. In time it stacks up like a culm heap and irritation ensues. A good part of the steel is absorbed, to be sure. That explains why it is not found in any of the cases operated on. But the point is, no doubt, that more than the 10-penny nail of iron allowed to each mortal is taken in and the body's magnetic equilibrium is thereby upset. The man who invented graham bread died of indigestion, but if he had drawn a magnet through it before baking he would have removed the steel particles and might have lived forever. The wise cook today will buy a small magnet and thoroughly stir her flour with it before putting in the water and yeast. Let her wipe off the magnet every little while. The black specks that adhere are tiny bits of steel. Bread made in this way may be eaten without fear of appendicitis. Light on Habits of Snakes. The popular theories regarding the cobra's musical ear, and the snake's power of fascinating birds, are upset by a statement made the other day by Professor Barnard who has been studying this species of snake in Ceylon. The serpent's traditional love for music is a pure fable, he says. The only effect of music is to arouse the reptile's curiosity, which is excited by any loud and acute sound. The cobra protrudes its head from its burrow alike on hearing the snake charmer's flute, the rattling of a chain, or the sounds made by beckoning the ground with a switch. Barnard also concludes that the power of fascination upon birds is purely imaginary. Oldest Dwelling. Archaeologists at a recent conference decided that the oldest dwelling inhabited today is a mansion belonging to Count Matschke at Winfel-on-the-Rhine, Germany, which was built in 700.

The man who is the picture of health is usually in a pleasant frame of mind. —Lippincott's Magazine. Old Baine's Chauffeur Some men can be called old without the slightest disrespect. Such a man was Cyrus Baine. He was only fifty, comfortable rich and growing richer and was liked in his clubs and person spoke of him as Mr. Baine. It was always as Old Baine. He came to know it and accept the title. persons spoke of him as Mr. Baines. There were a lot of bright young fellows in the Acorn club who were friendly with Old Baine. Old Baine had a beautiful home in the suburbs. In that home, besides a wife, he had a handsome daughter named Maude. She often came to the city with him and she was known by sight to a score of the Acornites. A number of them had sought invitations to The Elms, but the owner had pretended not to understand. Old Baine had a husband picked out for Miss Maude and that gentleman didn't belong to the Acorn club. He was out west in the railroad business and trying to climb to the top. There should be no prowlers coming around The Elms. If the father had been asked which young man he "took to" most at the Acorn club, he would have answered Harry Campbell. There was a bright young man, making his way as a civil engineer and to be heard of some day among the best. Old Baine sized him up as having plenty of ambition, but no guille. So great was his trust in him that he confidently informed him that he was going to be gone three months and that his old chauffeur having quit his job the ladies must go to the trouble of getting another after his departure. Two days after young Campbell had shaken hands with Old Baine and hoped him a pleasant stay in the wild and wholly and was sorry he couldn't go along, he appeared at The Elms in a $12 suit, ready-made, and made application for a chauffeur's place. It was Miss Maude who was to do the engaging and she looked upon the applicant with surprise and suspicion. He looked anything but the real thing. "Some gentleman who has suffered misfortune," mused Miss Maude to herself. "Will he keep to his place or take advantage? I will at least give him a trial." "Mr. Harris," as he was supposed to be, returned to town after his outfit and was duly installed in his place. The first time he ran the Auto Miss Maude watched him with critical eye and her mother was in a tremble for the first hour. But the new chauffeur took no chances—no close shaves. "Harris knows his business and I'm glad of it," said the mother with a sigh of relief as they reached home. Harris was given a week's trial and he suited the place admirably. Perhaps the only fault to be found with Harris was the reserve. He was on his third week and the city papers had chronicled the "mysterious disappearance of a club man and civil engineer," when the mother, who had been out alone paying calls, returned home to say to the daughter: "Well, what do you think has happened this afternoon!" "Was Harris drunk?" "Oh, dear, no." "Have an accident?" "Not at all." "Then what? You always beat around the bush so." "I had just come out of Mrs. Ponpon's and Harris stood beside the auto to help me in when a young lady driving past bowed and smiled at him and he lifted his cap. It was a young lady from the city, too." "Mother, you know you are near-sighted." "But I had my far-away glasses on." "Well, it was likely the wife or daughter of some chauffeur he knows." "Ha! And she had on a hat that never cost less than $40! What do you make of it?" "I don't make anything." But just the same, Miss Maude determined to find out more about Harris without delay. Was he a Raffles? Was he hiding from the police? Had he abandoned his young wife? Was he—he—? The mystery should be solved and if he were an impostor in the slightest degree something should be done. Next day she ordered out the auto and took a spin alone. She had things in view, but of course she must have a little time to get them in due order in her mind. She was working by the card system and glancing now and then at the back of Harris' head when a loud explosion was heard from around a bend in the highway. It fairly halted the auto. To her screams of terror Harris answered with the one word: "Dynamite!" As the word was out he jumped to the ground, tore at the rails of the fence on the right-hand side for a moment and then sprang back into the machine and jumped it through into the field. And he was not a moment too soon! Four horses and two wagons belonging to farmers came tearing around the bend at a mad gallop, frightened by the explosion in the quarry. They went by with a rush and a roar that meant death to anything in their path for the next mile. "Oh!" whispered the girl as she looked and began sobbing. "Shall we go home, ma'am?" quietly asked Harris. The girl shivered and wept all the way back. The quick wit of Harris had saved them from death. That evening he was called into the sitting room and asked: "Mr. Harris, who and what are you?" "Why—why—" "Answer me on the honor of a gentleman. I want to know who I am to thank and be grateful to all my life!" Two months later, when Old Baine got back and came to the Acorn club for dinner, he looked up from his meat and saw a smiling, guileless young man before him and shook a finger at him and said: "This will be a case of the father-in-law living with the son-in-law and don't you forget it!" The Sporting World DIAMOND DUST. No game at Leland Giants Park tomorrow, as the Leland Giants are still away on their Southern trip and will not return before the 8th of July. The Giants on their present trip have played eight games and won six. A good record for them. Secretary and Treasurer Moseley promises to have the strongest line-up of any of the Giant family teams in the city on their return. The Leland Giants will play at Aurora July 11. This promises to be quite an outing occasion for Chicagoans and a rare opportunity to visit Aurora and the beautiful Chauqua grounds of the Fox River Park. President Bolling and the Boosters will go down in their Red Devil. Sam Langford went ten rounds to a draw with Tony Capon at Winnipeg, Man, June 16. It may be that Sam didn't want to hurt him.

GRIPS AS MUSCLE BUILDERS Traveling Salesman Seems to Have Idea Which Might Really Be Called a Good One. After dinner they were discussing athletics, and each had his favorite method of reducing or building up. The traveling salesman proudly called attention to a remarkable development of biceps which swelled up beneath his coat sleeve. "Very good, indeed," said the professor, testing with his fingers. "How do you accomplish it?" "My method is extremely simple and takes no time away from my work. In fact, it is a result. These muscles have been developed by carrying heavily loaded 'grins,' as we usually call our big handbags on the road. I always carry two, loaded as nearly allike as possible, so I shall not grow one-sided. I began with only one grip, and swung it from one hand to the other, as fatigue impelled, but I found that it is actually easier to carry two than one. I am perfectly balanced with two, and I assure you I need no extra gym work for strengthening my arms, shoulders or back. I almost could carry a piano in each hand if the instruments were not so cumbersome." Bicked Up Here and There "It's a shame the way they crowd these cars. The passengers should rise up and insist on getting a chance to sit down." "You may send me up the complete work of Shakespeare, Goethe and Emerson—also something to read." "I'd like to dance and I should dance, only the music puts me out and the girl gets in my way." "Yes, her husband robbed her of every cent she had—and just think, she only married him because she was afraid of burglaries." "Hello! Is this the butcher? Well, you may send me up a roast of beef, and remember, please, butcher, to have it rare. That's the only way my husband can eat it."—Boston Transcript. Prince's "Pull" Abolished According to custom in China the members of the imperial family are above the law. Prince Can-Chi has been doing just as he likes recently, fortified with this immunity. There is not a hygienic law that this interesting person has not broken, and his great recreation seems to have been to defy the police. At length to the endurance of the police there came a limit, and the matter was brought under the notice of the regent, who has not only abolished the "convention," but the prince's recreations also, and given instructions that in future he must act as an ordinary citizen, or stand the consequences. What He Wanted. It was after the explosion, and Henderson sat on a rail fence gazing ruefully over the scene of ruin. One of his wheels was still rolling onward over the pike. Another hung from the limb of a tree. Other sections of the car were strewn about the highway, far and near. "Ah me!" sighed Henderson. "To think that only last night I was invelghing against an assembled car! By love! I'd give $100 to anybody who'd come along at this very minute and assemble mine."—Harper's Weekly.

That was the reason when she received the note and the mortgage she did not instantly put them into her safety deposit box. When she was preparing to leave the house for the first time she hid the papers successively behind a sofa, under a pillow, under a rug, under the dresser scarf and behind the picture of Sir Calahad in the library. Then when she was a block away she returned hastily, because it had just occurred to her that the house might burn down during her absence and then where would she be in respect to those precious papers? She discarded the small mesh bag she was carrying and got out her biggest leather shopping bag, although it was decidedly inconvenient to take to an afternoon tea. However, she could carry the papers in it. The bag, being big and square, bumped into everybody and got her disliked. She nearly went that evening as she begged her husband to take care of the papers for her. "I will not!" he told her. "You simply must learn to look after your own business affairs, so you might as well make up your mind to it! Why on earth are you carting jewelry around in that bag, too?" He asked it in the tone that a man uses when the foolish peculiarities of the feminine half of the world are utterly, absolutely beyond him. "Because it's the safest place for my rings and things!" retorted his wife. "Every woman does it!" His demeanor still disclosing skepticism, she went on: "If you leave things at home and the new servants don't turn burglars, then the bogus gas inspectors and the sham telephone men will get them! I've read about all those tricks!" "You'll lose the whole affair!" declared her husband. "I certainly won't when the bag is slipped right over my army like this," said Mrs. Blake, loftily. "I shall go to the bank just as soon as I can, and you are perfectly horrid to make me carry this bag to the theater tonight. The papers won't tuck inside of my waist and there's positively nothing else I can do with them!" Frequently that evening the bag slipped from her lap and each time she almo' had hysteria, thinking she had lost it. After Blake had bumped his head the third time while fishing out the bag from beneath the row of seats in front he put it in his chair and sat on it. But be made her carry it home. Something happened every day for three days to prevent Mrs. Hake's going to the bank. She ate, slept and visited in company with her leather shopping bag and she positively began to grow thin from her continuous and strenuous efforts to keep a wonderful eye on it. An afternoon progressive bridge party nearly finished her, because she insisted on hanging the bag over her chair back, and each time she moved she forgot it. Missing it, she would imagine that she had lost it to the party and would have to be revived with fans and kind words till it was discovered. She was a nervous wreck when the afternoon was over and had in addition the consciousness that all her partners disliked her intensely because she had so lowered their scores by her wild, abstracted playing. "I'll go to the bank tomorrow if it is the afternoon party that I have to miss!" she declared. Then she lugged the fatal bag to a club directors' meeting, to a luncheon, where it fell to the floor and was nearly eaten up by the hostess' pot dog before it was discovered, and on a shopping trip. She hung to the bag with an energy that gave rise to the idea in the minds of casual observers that is must be filled with dynamite or diamonds. "Thank goodness!" she muttered as she neared her home. "I've got these awful papers safely through a whole week and the first thing tomorrow morning sees them in the safety deposit box, and then maybe I can draw a long breath! What's that door open for?" She ran up the steps and through the swinging door. It was most unusual. The house appeared tranquil, however. Laying down her bag, she pulled off her gloves and coat and then, being still uneasy, mounted to the second floor. The second floor also was calm. "It's the queerest thing," she said as she started downstairs and headed for the kitchen to see if the cook had returned, "it being the cook's day out. In the hall she stopped transfixed, with her eyes staring at the table where she had laid her shopping bag. The bag was gone! "The burglar," Blake explained to her with righteous reproach that night, "must have just got inside when you came and probably he hid behind the piano. When you went upstairs he grabbed your bag and departed by the front door. I can fix up the note and the mortgage, but not the rings!" "Anyhow," said his wife, "I don't see why he couldn't have stolen it the first day I carted that bag around instead of waiting till I had done it for a week!" Overhead Dominion.

Living Portrait of Mark Twain. A singular story comes from a small town in Pennsylvania, according to Harper's Weekly. On April 21, 1910, a cow was born on a farm near Alburtis at almost the identical moment when Mark Twain died at his home in Connecticut. On her right side, outlined in dark brown against a snowwhite background, is a profile bust of that author. The likeness, which was plain at the birth of the calf, has grown more and more distinct, until it is now impossible to fail to identify the well-known features. Naturally, the cow was named Mark Twain. It is safe to say that the great humorist would have appreciated this joke of Nature at his expense. Phllligs on Matrimony The late David Graham Philips had, like many bachelors, a cynical view of matrimony. Mr. Phillips, at a reunion of Princeton's class of '87, at the Princeton club, said of marriage: "The Persians have a proverb that every young man should consider well before proposing. It runs: 'He that ventureth on matrimony is like unto one who thrusteth his hand into a sack containing many thousands of serpents and one eet. Yet, if the prophet so will it, he may draw forth the eel.'" When the army of Pompey stormed and took Jerusalem, at the moment the temple was taken, the priests were engaged with the daily sacrilege, and amid all the horrors which surrounded them, they continued their solemn duties unmoved, thinking it better to suffer whatever came upon them at their very altars to omit anything their law required.

IN 5 CENTS 3104 STATE STREET Radium Breezes for Gout. Radium laden breezes are the very latest thing in the treatment of gout. One of the papers read at the German Medical congress was on the application of radium in the aerial state. Radium "emanatoria" have been established in Berlin and at Bad Homburg, and now Ems is to have one. A special apparatus in which radium is placed in a current of air is fixed in a room and all the patients have to do is to sit in the room and talk or read newspapers, or play draughts; the radium in solution in the air does the rest and affects the blood through the lungs. This treatment is especially recommended for all gouty ailments. Origin of "Boodle" Some of the authorities on slang words and expressions say that the word "boodle" is derived from the Dutch, and there is reason to suppose that they are in the right. It first came into common use in New York at the time of the exposure of the Tweed ring, and has ever since kept its place in the language as expressing something that no other word in the English language could bring out so well. It was also highly popular in the days of Jake Sharp and his benchmen. Blames the Romans A sartorial authority says that the custom of dressing for dinner began with the Romans. It was needless to say, a simpler procedure than at present. A loose robe of a fine material was donned for the evening meal, preferably at home, but in cases where guests came from a distance, at the home of the host, he kept a supply of dinner clothes on hand for the use of his guests who came unprovided.

In one of our western universities the principal "funked" every member of the graduating class, resigned and left the city immediately—and yet we are taught to love our teacher.

Jack Johnson, hero of the illustrious battle at Reno, will help to represent us unofficially. "Dithramble praise of agreeable meteorological conditions is well enough perhaps, yet June weather is as changeable as a chameleon." Don't blame us; it is an extract for a sweet girl graduate's essay. One prophet predicts that the world will come to an end this year, while another places the catastrophe two years hence. Owing to this confusion in the dates the affair will probably have to be postponed again. Close your eyes and imagine you are at the big masque ball in London watching our own Jack Johnson portraying the role of "Othello" and his wife that of "Desdamona." Shades of the immortal George Washington, Jr., can you beat it? The great "Black Way" was deserved last Sunday afternoon, the Eighth Regiment field day exercises and the ball games being responsible for the exodus. It is a pity that something is not going on every day so they will of the habit of keeping off the street. At a meeting of Confederate veterans in Washington to celebrate Jeff Davis' birthday, Senator Bailey presented James Jones, a negro, who was Davis' body servant, as "the only man living who knows where the great seal of the Confederacy is—and he won't tell." A special school for Negroes by a young white man in New York does not show much gratitude to his Nigro teacher who gave him lessons free. He sat in Mr. Douglas' school alongside of black boys and girls. Now his appreciation of the school is not welcomed by the young progressive Negroes. A great deal of talk is being indulged in regarding race prejudice in the army. There has never been any question save in the minds of some of these social parasites, or tin soldiers, as it wore, but that the colored soldier measures up in every way to his white brother. It is high time that society be divorced from the army. President Taft has taken an admirable stand in the matter. Did you ever stop to think how much money, time and energy it takes get out a paper? Well, we're going be real confidential with you and ```markdown ``` tell you that it takes a great deal more, perhaps, than you think, and yet it is brought to your door each Saturday, a bright, clean, newysheet for a few pennies.

The Defender has always done the right thing with all its patrons, and it cannot understand how a body of same men refuse to pay a legitimate bill when they had the best of everything. While we are living for ourselves remember that others would like to live. We have never held up anyone, and we feel sorry for those who try to "hold up others." We still believe we are entitled to ours after making the great concession we made. The dense ignorance and prejudice displayed by the white people of Baltimore is appalling. They have a law which says "Negroes or colored" persons shall not live, except as servants, in a block with "white people;" note that only divides the population into two classes, the Chinese, Japanese and all other dark races come under that ban, if the law is carried out to the letter. We do not wish Baltimore any bad luck but we would like to see the result of a Japanese moving into a redistricted neighborhood, for they not only think themselves just as good but can fight to prove it with a country as enterprising as ours to back them. The political situation in the third ward is becoming alarming to both parties, inasmuch as the colored voter holds the balance of power. This fall the city will be redistricted, and if we are not alert our stronghold will be so divided as to leave us entirely at their mercy. Some movement should be started that has for its object the election of a colored alderman, the time has come for all petty jeansies and squabbles should be put aside, if we ever intend to become anything as a race. We are entitled to representation not alone because of our numbers but we pay in proportion as much if not more taxes than any other nationality within our gates. Wanted the Day to Himself. Nothing makes us quite so weary as these elaborate, gotten-up ahead-of-time jokes that someone people stage and spring with such a dramatic effect. Our Washington correspondent told us of one of these, the other day. A man went into the patent office, last week, and said he wanted a copyright. They steered him to the right department, and he opened up like this: "This is Saturday, is it not? Thank you. I understand that you will not issue a copyright on Sunday?" "No, sir. That is the rule." "But you will issue a copyright on any other day of the week?" "Yes, sir." "I'm so glad. I want to get Friday copyrighted. It's my birthday, and I don't want any other fellows using it. How much will it cost?" The Wheel Track to Eternity. Time is the most important thing in human life—for what is joy after its departure?—and the most consolatory—for pain, when time has fled, is no more. Time is the wheel track in which we roll on towards eternity, which conducts us to the incomprehensible. There is a perfecting power connected with its progress, and this operates upon us the more beneficially when we duly estimate it, listen to its voice, and do not waste it, but regard it as the highest infinite good in which all finite things are resolved—Wilhelm von Humboldt. Question Too Personal. "I had a mighty queer surprise this morning," remarked a local stock broker. "I put on my last year's sult and in one of the trousers' pockets I found a big roll of bills which I had entirely forgotten. "Were any of them received?" asked a listener who seemed to be a pessimist. And the temperature dropped immediately to a point where everybody fit comfortable. Don't Let Old Age Come Let us have a movement against mental surrender to old age at any time.

PUZZLE TO SAM PORTER SIXTY DAYS ON ROCK PILE AND NO CHICKENS BAGGED. Laura Emerson Talcott, Also Colored, Had Put Him on Trail of Fowls, Then Transferred Her Affections. The night was dark and dirty. A fine misting rain had been falling for hours and the ground was slippery under foot. The asphalt streets, as somebody or other said, looked like a newly caught catfish, and dirty tricks tricked from the awnings. But in the midst of the drizzle Sam Porter (colored) made his slipshod way, his face serene and his gait as energetic as the gait of Sam porter (colored) ever got to be. To gnd out why Sam Porter (colored) was out in the drizzle it is necesary to go back three days, the Galveston News tells its readers. Three days before, Laura Emerson Talcott, also colored, but not quite so much so as Sam, had been fired from the employ of one Major Tanner, and though they had accused Laura of stealing a silver match safe, and had found it on her, she was naturally indignant. Being indignant, therefore, Laura had told Sam that Major Tanner has as fine a slot of white Plymouth Rock fowls as man ever raised; that the chicken house was away from the house, and that the staple was loose. This was welcome information to Sam. He wasted no time in acting upon it. Through the alley back of the Tanner home Sam snaked, his sodden, burst-out shoes squashed merrily. Occasionally he paused to listen, prepared, if discovered, to throw away the sack he carried in his shirt front. The alloy gate was locked, and Sam had to climb over the fence. The major had ornamented the fence with nails and barb wire, and as Sam jumped, separately the nails and barb wire jumped toward him, and he landed upon a pile of loose lumber, bruised, scratched, and torn, with a noise as if a house had fallen. But nobody came. Recovering his breath, he crept toward the chicken house. Better than reported! It wasn't even locked. Groping within, Sam felt every inch of the space inclosed, but there were no fowls. Out in the alley he scratched his ear reflectively. It was plain that something had gone wrong. But Sam didn't know what. It was that Laura had swiftly transferred her affections to a yellow nigger from up in the country and told him about the fowls. And, this yellow man, seeing that Sam might possibly be a swift mover, decided to be like lighting. And a passing policeman, in a bad humor because of the peaks rain, nabbed Sam as he emerged from the alley. He had been too badly rattled to throw away the sack and this caused him to be sent to the station in the nice, new rubber tire patrol wagon on general principles. And the next day the major appeared against him, and the sack and his presice in the alley, coupled with the loss of the major's fine fowls, gave Sam 60 days on the rock pile. The 60 days are not yet up, and Sam doesn't understand yet why he didn't those chickens. How a Mule Killed a Bear A mule dealt death to a bear that had been terrorizing the residents of Diamond Valley. Daniel C. Shawley, lumberman and farmer, is the owner of the prize beast. Aroused by a commotion in his barn he found the bear in deadly combat with the mule. Contrary to the established custom the mule was using his front feet in the battle and peppering brunl a regular tattoo over the head. One savage slap by the mule broke one of the bear's front legs and the bulky animal fell prostrate. Then the mule reversed himself and let loose the death dealing assault from its hind quarters. The bear died shortly after Shawley reached the scene. It weighed 262 pounds and showed the marks of eight bullet punctures.—Chambersburg correspondence Philadelphia North American. Saving Eyes of Explorers Prof. J. von Kowalski, in a letter to Nature (London), describes his observations of the spectra of sunlight reflected by snowfields in Switzerland. He finds that the ultra-violet rays are reflected by snow almost in their entirety. This fact helps to explain the trying effects of such light upon the eyes and suggests the advisability of wearing, during a period of snow and sunshine, glasses that are opaque to the ultra-violet rays. Immune From Snake Venom Experiments by M. M. Billard and Maublant, recorded in the "Comptes Rendus" of the Biological Society of Paris, show that the common duck exhibits a remarkable indifference to the venom of the viper. They also find that the owl is similarly immune. Two of these, badly bitten on the feet, did not seem much worse. M. Billard also finds that the domestic cat has almost complete immunity as regards the viper. "Whooping Cought Colony." A quaint project, that of the establishment of a "whooping cough colony" on the shores of the Baltic, is now being considered by the Prussian government. There, afflicted children, refused admission at the existing seaside resorts on account of the fear of contagion, could enjoy the sea air. Fourteen thousand infants between the ages of one and two die annually in Prussia from whooping cough.

Washington, 3752 Calmet avenue Soft-Tened Bears of China The natives of China use large bolts of their own make in many of their temples and monasteries, writes the United States consul at Foochow. I have noticed all through Japan and China that the tone of the monastery and temple bells is very soft and smooth, due to the superior quality of the material used in their manufacture and to the absence of iron clappers, the result being a marvelous softness and mellowness of tone. The bells are never swung, being always suspended in a fixed frame, and the sound is produced by striking them on the outer edge with a wooden mallet. This makes the soft tones which are so delightfully melodious. The Perpetual Change. The things of the world are ever rising and falling, and in perpetual change; and this change must be according to the will of God, as he has bestowed upon man neither the wisdom nor the power to enable him to check it. The great lesson in these things is that man must strengthen himself doubly at such times to fulfill his duty, and to do what is right, and must seek his happiness and inward peace from objects which cannot be taken away from him.—Wilhelm von Humboldt. Looked Easy to Him Graydoy's father is dead, and the child, hearing other children talk of their fathers, began to importune his mother for "another papa." Mamma tried to explain that she couldn't conveniently grant this wish, at the moment, but Graydoy didn't consider any of the suggested reasons adequate. "It ought to be easy enough, mamma, with so many loos men all around." Man's Rights. That man who has applied for a divorce because his wife kicks over the patil of hot water he uses when he is scrubbing the kitchen floor will have the sympathy of the public.

T have, Iike other people, I suppose, maile many resolutions that I have broken or only half kept, but the one which T impart and which was in my mind long before It took the form of a resolution is the keynote of my life. It Is this, always to regard as mere impertinences of fate the handicaps which were placed upon my life al- most at the beglaning. I resolved that they should not crush or dwarf my soul, but rather be made to “blossom, fe Aaron's rod, with flowers.” Mr, D. W.

With tears in her eyes and a large and very much damaged dol! {n her arms, a very little girl appeared at the mending counter of a doll’s how- pital the other day and displayed her broken trensure. ‘The doll's tace was broken, one arm was completely gono And one foot was minus all the toes. ‘The very little girl confided to me clerk that she wanted dolly made well again. “I'm afraid {t won't be worth while to fix tt," sald the clerk, regarding the new patient dublously. “You see there would have to be & new head and new arm and new leg. S-really think it would be better for you to get a new doll.” The tears overran tho eyes of the very little girl at this suggestion. “But 1 want her to look Ifke this doll,” she protested. “I love Maud Lilitan too much to have a new doll tn her place. You can get a new head for her and a new body, too, if you Ike, but 1 want her to have the same bair that she has now, so she'll look Mke her old sett.” The toy shop people are used to carrying out the Individual {dens of the little mothers of the dolls, and so no objection was made to preserving Maud Liliian's identity by means of her somewhat crumpled golden locks. A benutiful new doll of the proper size was chosen, her glossy new wlg removed and the broken doll's wig substituted. Newly bowigged in this fasblon and roded Jn the garments of the discarded doll, Mand Lfllian bore Q resemblance to herself that was starting, consideriug the rather ex: tensive anatomical alterations that had been made tn her.

We now know that the great {ce age con- sisted of different glacial times sepa. rated by interglacial tlmes. In glactal times the snow line dropped 3,000 ot 4,000 feet below Its present level in the Alps, whereas in interglacial times it lay about 1,000 feet higher than at present. Thus the temperature seems to have been highor in the Interglactal porlods than It ts now. ‘There 1s abundant evidence, in the opinion of Penck, that man existed du: ring the beginning of the last glactal epoch. There is some reason for thinking that at least 20,000 years have elapsed since the last glaciation and that the man whose jawbone was found in 1909 near Heldetberg lived 200,000 years ago.—Sclentific Amer!- can.

WILD NIGHT WITH WADDELL ‘Topsy Hartsel Describes Pleasant and Tumultous Evening He Spent With Rube. “It was my fortune once,” says Topsy Hartsel, of the world’s cham- pion Athletics, “to spend a pleasant aud tumultous evening with G, Ed- ward Waddell, more generally knows as ‘Rube,’ dnd, at the same time In the tenith of Lis'big league fame. Just once, and ouly once, 1 never cared for any more of the same, thank you. “The Atbletics were just swinging into the champlonship of 1905, thanks i a great measure to. the glorious pitching of the Rubo, and he was one Of the most popular citizens of Phila- dejphia. This particular evening be approached me and explained that we could bave-the time of our lives, It Wo felt so inclined. First of all, said he, we would go to supper. We did, but the supper was interrupted to Some extent, because Mr. Waddell, happening to meet a man in the din- ‘ing room whou he did not like, smote him over the bean with a whitefish, & proceeding which seemed to be somewhat outside the limits of the menu. “After supper Mr. Waddell said he would. take me back of the scenes of a certain theater, where melodrama {s the range. I bad never been bhind the curtain and was delighted, more 80, when the stage hands, all recog: nizing Rube, treated us with great honor and courtesy. ‘The play was a wild western thing, chockfu! of shoot- ing. As we came into the dim re- cesses behind the stage, one of the few quiet minutes of tho show was taking place—the hero was just look- ing into the eyes of the heroine and telling her how much he loved her. Not a sound broke the tense sllenco— and just then Rube, pleking up a gun that’ was standing ready for the vil: Jain, pulled the trigger. “It eracked the love scene, and the stage hands threw Mr, Waddell out. And I. went with him. “They are not gentlemen In there,” sald Mr. Wadéell. ‘Let's go to the — theater, where Howard Tin fs playing. He's my pal.’ "So we went to another house, and again we got behind the scenes.

Just as Rube grabbed the lion by the tall, the beast swung round and struck—and they picked up the Rube with his sleeve ripped off and a big red gash in his arm. And again we were thrown out in the alley. “*Topsy,’ said Rube, ‘don't forget, now, we had a row with a couple of guys that sald Connie Mack was a no- good son of a hyena, and one of them slashed me with a knife when I de- fended Connie's reputation.

The slavghter of pitchers by bat- ters of the Natfonal and American leagues soon will be checked by the retirement of the new cork centered ball, according to August Herrmann, chairman of the national commission and president of the Cincinnati club of the National league. A movement already has been start. ed for the relief of the moundsmen, who have faced a terrifie bombard- ment of safe hits since the introduc- tion of the new ball. A circular letter mailed to all directors and officials of the American and National leagues asking tor expressions of opinion re- garding the continued use of the new ball was received by Mr. Herrmann the other day. “L think it will be but a short time until_a ball of a loss lively pattern will be in uso,” said Mr. Herrmann. “The presnt ball makes tie games too one-sided and uncertain, 1 think the cork-centered ball as now manu: factured soon will be relegated to the shelf." “Waiver”.

God gives and God takes. He does so by supreme power and supreme right. Whereas, it has pleased Him to remove from our midst into that mysterious realm where each shall take his chamber in the silent hall of death, our dearly beloved brother and co-workers, Mr. D. J. Marion and on dearly beloved brother and co-workers, Mr. D. J. Marion, and Whereas, Bro. Marion was a man of such sterling worth as to make his influence for good felt in this community; a man whom every one loved; an upright, law-abiding citizen of sane, constructive and progressive proclivities; a tender, loving, sweetly disposed husband and a Christian gentleman in the highest acceptance of that word. In the church the balmy influence of his presence was ever felt; in the home he was tender, affectionate, tolerant and patient. In the street he always bore the badge that is the mark of identity of all honorable and honest men, and he enjoyed the respect and confidence of all who knew him. In business the same as in private life he enjoyed the peculiar esteem born of honesty and square dealings. His noble example in the business world is an encouragement and inspiration to every Negro boy in this He was successful in all he undertook because he recognized no failure until he had met it face to face, and, like Jacob of old, he wrestled with it until every possible good had been wring therefrom; and if by a strange anomaly of late, he failed to completely vanquish failure he would shove it aside to go farther down life's meandering way and shake a glad hand with success and feast on fortune's benign smile. How he for eight months and eleven days lay prostrate on his back, unable to help himself, he never murmured, complained or lamented, and this is indicative that he was closely and intimately acquainted with Jesus, and had made His spirit the predominant element of his nature, and Whereas, The church and the community in general sustain such a great loss in the death of this truly great and honorable man, therefore he it Resolved. That the trustee board of Mt. Zion Baptist church extend to the grief stricken wife and relatives a profound and sincere message of condolence, and be it further Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be given the bereaved family, a copy be given to the Chicago Defender and to the Illinois Circulate for publication, and a copy be recorded on the minute book of the church. Mrs. Betty Savage departed from vanston praising K. P. lodge. "I can ever forget the kindness shown me members of K. P. lodge," said Mrs. ivage. "I felt as if I were among ends instead of strangers. I was tled to their homes and made welie. I shall ever have a pleasant rebrance for the people of Evans. The R. B. Elliot lodge of K.

Just a days elapsed before all things be straightened up and Mrs. Savage able to return to her home. able to return to her home. Ehnezer A. M. E. Church Ebenezer A. M. E. Church Rev. Dr. Attaway, president of Edward Waters College, Jacksonville, Fla., delivered the morning sermon at Ebenezer Sunday, while Rev. J. Lowe of Pine Bluff, Ark., preached at night. The church was crowded at 8th services, and five persons united with the church during the day. Ailan seventy-six years old was happily inverted at the morning service. Rev. Thos. H. Jackson, D. D., LL. D., an of Shorter College, Little Rock, K., will preach at Ebenezer Sunday morning, and the Rev. G. B. Young, D., of San Antonio, Texas, at night.

Free and Accepted Masons, will hold a union St. John's day service at Ebenezer Sunday at 3 o'clock, with the sermon by Rev. Horace S. Graves, D. D. It will be the largest number to ever turn out in the city, as the Golden Gate lodge is one of the largest of Chicago. The reception and dinner Monday by the Mite Missionary society was one of the most brilliant affairs ever given in the church. The ladies were on hand in all of their pretty frocks and dresses, and those who were present declared it to have been a grand affair. At night there was a fine crowd which listened to a very fine address by Mrs. Florence Duckett of St. Paul, Minn. Mr. A. Bird and Mrs. Osborn sang solos to the delight of all, while little Master Hutt rendered a fine cornet solo. The audience was graced with the presence of Presiding Elder Jackson, Dr. J. S. Woods, Rev. and Irs. Allen and Mrs. H. E. Johnson. Well the "Woman's Honor," the long liked about drama, is to come off by 6. This is definite, as the tickets out.

You only have to hear him Sunday to know what he can do as a lecturer. To miss hearing him Sunday is to miss the greatest treat in one's life in the way of public speakers. Mr. J. A. Taylor of St. Paul, who is a tenor singer, who for some years has led the choir of St. Paul, will worship at Ebenezer Sunday morning and will sing a solo. Mr. Taylor is a graduate of Boston Conservatory of Music, and taught at Tuskegee for some time. The second Sunday in July is rally day.

I have always been proud of the fact that I am a Negro. But never before have I felt so proud of my race and their different colors as I was made to feel by that well put and eloquent lecture which the Rev. Addiway of Jacksonville, Fla., gave at Ebenczer on last Wednesday evening. His eloquent voice rang with a sweetness and a power that held his large audience for the greater part of the time wholly spell-bound. Rev. Addiway has been around the world. He built the first college in Africa for the uplift of our brothers there. At present he is a minister of the A. M. E. church at Jacksonville, Fla. In describing the different women of the world and their loyalty to their race, Rev. Addiway declared in the deepest tone of bass that the Afro-American woman stood first. He further declared that God had locked up Africa for a certain purpose. He described the different tribes of Africa and gave a detailed description of their physical make-up. He knows history and he compared past history with the present history and predicted the future history, and with the most flowery language and the most beautiful and well articulated figures he pictured the Negro as the world's future rule. Card of Thanks. Card of thanks. Mrs. James H. Bryant and Mrs. Robert M. Pettit wish to thank their friends for their kindness during their recent bereavement.

HIS NAME MOST APPROPRIATE "Knapp" It Was and Drowsy Delegate Proceeded to Live Up to Cognomen. During the morning prior to the opening of the national convention, a special meeting of those delegates already arrived was held to discuss and vote on some preliminary measures. These met in a smaller hall, opposite the convention hall; and when they were all assembled in the stuffy room, one of the members leaned back wearily in his chair and promptly fell asleep. After an hour's session, the chairman called a vote on a certain measure. All responded but the sleeper, whose snores now and then echoed through the room. "Here! wake that man up!" demanded the chairman, at this point. "What's his name, anyway?" No one being able to tell, and no one following the chairman's order to wake the sleeper up, that functionary at once called upon a ballot clerk to carry out the order. So accordingly the clerk hurried down the aisle to the dozer, shook him vigorously by the arm, asking him his name the while. With a broken snore that perforated the atmosphere, the sleeper awoke. "What's his name?" again called out the impatient chairman. At this, the clerk straightened up from the unknown member's chair, and announced, to the accompaniment of a roar of laughter. "Mr. chairman, he says his name is Knapp."—Judge's Library. Actor's Proper Place Mahlon Ivans, Jr. of Merchantville has a reputation as an actor and takes part in nearly all of the local shows. In the last show that was given, Shorty had one of the leading parts. After the show, while he was taking off his makeup, an elderly man made his appearance in the doorway. "Are you Mr. Ivins?" inquired the old man. "Yes," replied Shorty, as he motioned him to be seated. "Well," the old man continued. "I just want to tell you something. I've been watching your acting tonight. You should not be playing in this town, you should be with Mansfield, Booth or Irving, or Joe Jefferson." "Why-why," said Shorty, "those actors are dead." "I know it," said the old man, as he turned on his heel and left. Philadelphia Times. Ancient Painters. Among the Greeks the most famous painters were Cinon of Cleona, Polygrotus, Zeuxis, Apellas, Appollodorus and Parthaslus. Of these the greatest were Zeuxis, who is said to have laughed himself to death over the picture of an old woman that he had painted, and Apelles, who, according to some accounts, painted cherries so perfectly that the birds pecked at them, thinking them real. Apelles was a contemporary of Alexander the Great, and was commanded by the conqueror of the world to paint his picture. His greatest work was "Venus Rising From the Sea," painted for the Temple of Esculapus, at Cos, and costing, it is said, over $100,000. It is claimed that no artist was able to complete his unfinished pictures, many of which he left at the time of his death. Fond Hearts Finally United. After waiting 30 years for her to become a widow, George Sleegarm of Wilkesbarre, Pa., has married Mrs. Marietta Teehon of Hazelton. When they were young in Germany, they fell in love, and would have married had it not been for the opposition of their parents. They tried to elope, but were discovered and caught before it was possible for them to wed. Sleegarm, despondent and angry, emigrated, and his sweetheart, who was married a year after he left, followed a few years later with her husband, who died a short time ago. Sleegarm lately discovered that his old sweetheart lived in Hazleton. The old courtship was begun again and culminated in their wedding the other day. Deep Mourning. The manager of the theater racked his brain in vain. "We must do something," he repeated, bitterly. "People will expect us to do something to show respect to the proprietor, now that he is dead." "Shall we close for the night of the funeral?" suggested the assistant stage manager. "With this business? You're a fool, laddle, a fool. No; put the chorus in black stockings." And it was even so. Danger In Cosmetic Zinc oxide, a favorite constituent of face powders and "bloom of beauty" is noted as a frequent cause for facial paralysis. A silver coin drawn across the cheek of women who use these chemical face powders will produce a deep, dark line, due to the reaction between the silver in the coin and the zinc.oxide contained in the face powder. RECREATIONS OF SCIENCE. The appearance of a book of uproarious humor by Stephen Leacock, professor of logic in a Canadian university, calls attention once more to humor as a safety valve to a career devoted to the more serious things of life. It is a fact, not usually recognized but easily believed, that minds which are concerned with philosophy, mathematics, statistics, or other absorbing intellectual pursuits find their recreation in something quite the reverse of these topics, says the Chicago Tribune. The late Sir Campbell-Bannerman, the British premier, found solace in reading innumerable French romances of the most modern type. "Lewis Carroll" was a mathematician, deeply expert in the science, and it is related that when Queen Victoria became charmed with his "Alice" stories, she sent out for all his previous works. They brought her several books on calculus, logarithms, etc. A few years ago a nonsense book, How to Tell Wild Flowers From the Birds, delighted us. Its author proved to be a professor of some dull science at Johns Hopkins. And thus it goes. Extremes meet. An astronomer, when away from his eyepiece, throws himself with ardor into pingpong. A mathematician in private life holds the tiddle-de-winks championship. The law of compensation works, and nature provides a safety valve which prevents the boiler from blowing up. A member of the British parliament, Sir Henry Seymour King, has been unscared because it was found that he had been "guilty of treating his constituents lavishly." The cable does not explain whether he furnished barrels of beer or boxes of campaign cigars for the purpose of winning the favor of the voters, or whether he went so far as to distribute bottles of scotch and soda. In any event, the judges who considered his case were not disposed to excuse him on the plea that if beer or cigars were distributed they were passed around by his friends who were eager to "put him over." In England they have a corrupt practices act which is enforced without the necessity of such dilatory proceedings as have characterized the Lorimer case. Following a dispute in a medical convention in Philadelphia on the removal of tonsils, and the sharp criticism of young surgeons for removing tonsils on slight pretexts, a resolution was adopted calling for an exhaustive report on the matter next year. But this will hardly tend to create overmuch confidence and pleasant feeling in people whose tonsillar troubles will occur this year. One of the doctors connected with the health department says that 60 per cent of the dogs that bite people are afflicted with acute rabies. This is a good time to round up the dogs that are permitted to run about unmuzzled. Edison's latest invention consists of moving pictures that talk. If this keeps up our actors will be forced to go to work. However, chorus girls are not half so alluring when shown on a screen. "The housefly," opines Doctor Wilson, has its good points. So has a cactus, but we advise our readers to pause and consider before swatting said cactus. We hope everybody sees the point. Treasure seekers have found $15,000,000 in Honduras, according to report. If this treasure is no impostor it is made up of Spanish doubloons and pieces of eight. An anti-hobble skirt bill has been defeated in the Georgia legislature. Southern chivalry continues to grant the ladies the right to wear what they please, heaven bless 'em. A New Hampshire man is sending the federal government conscience money at the rate of $5 a month. The government would wait a long time for Broadway importers to do that. A man in Connecticut has had the novel experience of having his life, which hung on a hair, saved by his bald head. A New York man died because his nervous system was shattered by the piano playing of a girl who lived next door. Another joke has been ruined. Halley's comet can be seen and photographed 500,000,000 miles away. If it had a proper sense of its short-comings it would disappear from view. To the molting man nothing is more irritating than reading of devices for the removal of hair. The seventeen-year old locust is food in the long run for the English sparrow. Its end is inglorious.

Lewis Given Great Reception in His B Home Town—Will Not Marry Before June Next. It Is Said By Defender Correspondent at Louisville—Lewis Has Eaten So Many Chickens and Eggs He Now Favors Bantam Rooster. By Special Correspondent of Chicago Defender. Louisville, Ky., June 23.—The Louisville Defender, probably named after the Chicago Defender, is making great strides in this city. Its circulation is jumping by leaps and bounds. It is held in the same esteem as the famous "Windy City" Defender. Attorney Bearguard Moseley of Chicago was in the city Sunday, the guest of Mr. A. B. McAfee. Nat Harris and the Leland Giants are here. They lost the first game on Sunday by a score of 7 to 6 and won a tenning game on Monday by a score of 8 to 7. --- Louisville has two colored theaters and an air dome theater. Misses Robbica Roper and Elvira Johnson and Allie Gillum are making a big hit at the Lyre theater. Roper and Johnson will be at the Monogram theater, Chicago, next week. Cary B. Lewis, managing editor of the Illinois Chronicle, arrived in the city last Thursday night, the guest of his "folks." He attended a class reception of his school and was the principal speaker. Monday he called to see Mr. Henry Watterson, editor of the Courier Journal, and was warmly received by the editor on whose paper he worked for three years. They discussed the political situation of 1912. Lewis will return by way of Indianapolis on Uniform Rank business for the K. of. Ps. of Chicago. He will return to Chicago the first of the week. Commencement exercises of the Central High School will be held on Thursday night of this week at McCaulley's theater and nearly fifty boys and girls will receive diplomas. Dr. J. A. C. Latimore, one of the most successful physicians of the city, and Howard Jordan, a clerk in the post office, have recently purchased handsome automobiles. Quite a number of visitors will be in Chicago this summer from Louisville. Cary Lewis has been made a member of the Bachelors' club. SNAPS FOR THE ALLIGATORS Goose Raiser Finally Found Out Just Why His Flock Did Not Increase. The oldest of us can remember being told that "Little Hopepe lost his sheep," but as they came home at last, Hopepe was not so badly off as was Bob Vorus, who six years ago started a goose farm on his mill pond, near Lumpkin, Georgin. He knew the value of feathers, and thought the people would appreciate the opportunity of obtaining them near home for making pillows and beds. His big mill pond was such a fine place for them to swim and live and raise their young in. So he got five hundred pairs of geese and put them on his pond. Their nests were built in the rushes along its banks and their melodious voices reverberated from end to end of the pond. But they did not increase, according to Bob's notion; their numbers were diminishing perceptibly. A dead one could be seen occasionally drifting along the edge of the bordering rushes. At first Bob thought it might be minks, otters, skunks, foxes, or what not that were destroying them, but soon found out that it was alligators for he actually saw one of the ugly reptiles catch a goose and pull it under water. Partly eaten geese would sometimes be found. HE WAS A DANGEROUS RISK In These Rushing Days the Pedes trlan Has No Show at All With Insurance Company. Here was a case where it seemed as if everything was settled. The insurance company's doctor had reported that the man seemed to be all right, and the man himself had certified that he was not engaged in any dangerous occupation. "I lead a sedentary life," he told them. "I work in an office and we have no danger or excitement." "How about sports?" the examiner asked. "Do you football? Baseball? Do you box? Do you belong to an athletic club?" "No—none of that stuff. I guess I'm a safe risk." "Do you scorch?" "What do you mean?" "Do you drive your car faster than the speed limit?" "I have no car." "What? How do you get about?" "I walk." "Risk refused. A scorcher is a dangerous risk, but a pedestrian has no chance at all. Buy a car, old chap, Sorry—good night!" A Wide-Awake Constable. "Ye say yo ain't been speedin', eh?" said Silas as he stopped the car. said Slas as he stopped the car. "Nary a speed," said the chauffeur, trying to be amiable. "When did ye leave Quinceville?" demanded Slas, suspiciously. "Five o'clock this morning," said the chauffeur, with a wink at his companion. "Five this morning," eh? " said the constable, catching the wink. "Taken ye six hours to come four miles. Waal, I guess I'll run ye in, anyhow, only I'll change the complaint from overspeedin' to obstructin' the highway."—Harper's Weekly.

Plenty a Opportunity. month in which to are 11 others that --- "Dear," said the little woman carefully, "it's altogether too hot for me to wear my felt hat any longer." "Well?" said her husband suspiciously. "To say nothing of my own comfort," went on the little woman. "I'm ashamed to have the neighbors see me. I'm the only one in the block who is still wearing a winter hat, and I saw Mrs. Lee turn to her husband and make some remark when I passed them yesterday. By the way he looked at my hat, I know it was about you." "Well," said the little woman's husband, thrusting his hands deep into his pockets and assuming a cold, judicial air, "why don't you get out your last summer's hat? Here I'm still wearing my derby, while my last summer's straw is being cleaned; are you any better than 1?" "But——" The little woman bit her lip. "Here I am," said her husband, "working my head off that you may have the best of homes and the best of clothes, and yet, when you buy the very best things there are, you aren't willing to wear them two seasons! Why, my mother used to get a hat and pay only a couple of dollars for it; then she used to turn the ribbons on it, or put the feathers on the other side or trim it up with a few flowers, and there she had a hat as good as new, year after year, with hardly any expense. "Those were the days when men could save money! Now, a woman, instead of wearing one hat until it's really worn out, must have two or three in one year! It's sinful extravagance! I won't have my wife lend herself to any such notions, to lead astray the younger women and help them ruin their husbands!" "You paid $10—just five times as much as my mother used to pay—for that hat of yours, trimmed with a green ribbon." went on the little woman's husband, warming to his theme "it would be fostering ideas of wastefulness to allow you to purchase another this year." "I didn't know you were so hard up," murmured the little woman, as she hastily turned away and left him. The little woman's husband followed her. He felt that he ought to settle this matter once for all. "Yes," he said, "that is what comes of women's arrogance. My mother was properly attentive when my father spoke to her. She recognized his broader view, and she profiled it. But what do the wives of today do? They assume an attitude of equality, answer impudently to any remark made in a general way and habitually neglect their households. "But I wish you to understand that, in spite of your forwardness, I don't wish you to suffer for lack of a suitable hat. Mind you, I am not considering the neighbors' attitude. Here's one dollar. You ought to be able to buy quite an array of flowers and ribbons for that. Purchase them and replace the present trimming of your hat with them, and—your husband will be pleased. That ought to satisfy any wife." After her husband had gone to the office the little woman looked up her old hat. She sent the donated money to the store and got ten yards of green ribbon, at ten cents a yard. Then she proceeded to refresh the hat. She put the ribbon on in profusion, intermixed with the flowers and foliage of the past year. Bows stuck out at random on all sides. She wound ribbon around the crown. Then, there still remaining more of it, she sewed a couple of loops underneath. When this work was finished, she donned the creation and started for her husband's office. The office boy snickered as she went in. The stenographer tried to keep her eyes off the hat, but failed. The bookkeeper deliberately stared at it. But the little woman, with her role mien, opened the door of the inner office and went in. "What on earth!" The voice of the little woman's husband was anything but hospitable. He stood for a minute staring at the hat. The little woman bore the scrutiny without finching. "Isn't it nice?" she asked, gently. "I got all this trimming—that is, the ribbon—with the money you gave me." The man breathed heavily. He watched her closely for a moment, but her face was gulleeless. Then he reached for an umbrella. "Itero," he said, striving to be calm. "Take this, and leave that—that—hat here. I believe you do need another." The little woman thanked him and departed. When she had gone, he picked up the hat and, stuffing it into the waste paper basket, put his foot on it and crushed the crown through. The Difference. A woman who both by hearing and looks could be distinguished as "new woman," entered a street car and with a very baughty air seated herself near an old Italian. When the conductor came to take up the faces she said to him in a very loud voice: "Let me off at my husband's bank." The conductor, evidently knowing her, assured her that he would, and passed on to the Italian. "Let me off atray peanut stand," called out the old fellow, as he paid his fare. Not Her Method "Mrs. Binks, do you believe in the physical cestation of children?" "No, I don't believe in any of these new-fangled ways o' doin'. I hold to the good old-fashioned way o' givin' em a good spankin'." Inexcusable. "Mrs. Flimgil 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.

At it a. m. the pastor preached a strong and feeling sermon to a very attentive audience. Subject, "The Christian Leaders. Aim To Do Good." Text, Acts 10:20; "For what intent have ye sent me." The pastor handled the subject with much force and deep was the impression made upon the minds of the hearers. The choir sang sweetly. The choir sang most delightfully for this occasion. All of the clubs were very active in getting up the money for church purposes and they all were contending for the prize of honor to be ahead. Club No. 1, Rev. Frank Julian, captain; Club No. 2, Deacon Thomas McKenney, captain; Club No. 3, Rev. Mason Burt, captain. Good work is being done by these clubs to raise the amount to build a new church. A.

Yes, long may they live to do such effective education work in this the greatest educational age of the world. And the very encouraging address of Prof. D. A. Graves, A. M., superintendent of public schools (white) were indeed grand and very instructive being so practical for the pupils of today to regularly attend the schools and in terms of appreciation the same was accepted.

DISSERTATION ON THE SHIRT Writer Unorks Vials of Wrath in a Few Indictments of Uncomfortable Modern Garment. The onward march of civilization has its obstacles. Shirts being made for man and not man for shirts, every time a man gets a new shirt or one comes back from the laundry the moral uplift needs the application of the safety brake and the emergency clutch to keep us from dropping into the collar again. Shirts are made of various kinds of materials. After the sewing is finished they are left for a few hours in a strong mixture of glue and concrete. This fastens the back to the bosom and sticks the sleeves together. Butonholes are then made in the uckband, and the band is then steeped in cement so that the buttonholes cannot be opened. The bosom is then adorned with buttons. These buttons are sewed on with one weak thread, so that when you try to button the shirt, after having pried it apart with a paper knife and strong language, the buttons will fly away merrily. Shirts that are laundered are always sent back with the lower button buttoned in, and all the buttonholes glued tight. Dress shirts are made with veined bosoms, with little round holes where the studs are only supposed to be placed. These bosoms are absolutely inflexible, and the studs cannot be inserted without the aid of a sledge hammer, which is damaging to the disposition. The man who will invent a buttonless shirt, which cannot be starched in the neckband, will earn a monument which will be illuminated at night.—Chicago Evening Post. Young Girl's Brave Act Remarkable bravery and presence of mind were displayed lately by Gwennie Franklin, aged 16, of New York, when she saved two boys from being burned to death. Half a dozen youngsters bedecked in war costumes of Indians were playing around a "council fire" in a vacant lot when George McCullough, aged six, got too close to the fire, and his clothes became ignited. His brother, Alexander, a year older, tried to beat out the flames and the fire spread to this clothing. The girl leaning out of the window of her home saw the accident, and the two brothers rolling on the ground. She ran out of doors, leaped over a fence and holding first one boy and then the other, heaped sand over them till the fire was extinguished. Both boys were unconscious, but not seriously injured. Chess-Playing Automatons There have been several automaton chess players, but it should not be necessary to say that they were all worked by the man behind the machine, or rather, within or under the machine. At the great fair held in the Crystal Palace, in London, in 1851, an automaton played the game beautifully; and so early as 1783 Baron Von Kempelen of Hungary invented an audroid that was the marvel and wonder of the time. Von Kempelen wont all over Europe with his "Turk." Only Woman Guide. Mrs. Charles E. McDonald is said to be the only certified woman guide in the Maine mountains.

WISDOM OF THE WIDOW WISDOM OF THE WIDOW DON'T LET MAN KNOW IF YOU `CATCH HIM IN A LIE.` That is Her Philosophic Advice, but it is Forgotten When Howard's Perfidy is Revealed to Her by a Friend. "If you would keep the love of any man, never let him know that you have caught him in a 'lile'," said the widow. "If you do, he never will forgive you. It will make him uncomfortable, and to his dying day a man holds a grudge against anybody that made him uncomfortable. There is nothing that so endears a woman to a man as a trustful absorption of his choice lies. Contrawise, there is nothing that so weakens her hold on his affections as an accusation of untruthfulness backed up with undisputed truth. "It is a pity all women cannot learn this. If they could, the divorce courts would get a chance to shut down every day on schedule time. I learned it. An aged woman who had had four husbands gave me a tip on that before I married, and I played it strong all the way through. I admit it was hard work. There came times when my common sense fairly shouted for vindication, when the pretended inability to see beyond my own nose and even to the end of it drove me to desperation; but the simulated virtue paid in the long run. My husband lived and went to his reward sustained in an unfaltering faith in my stupidity. Consequently, he loved me to the end. "I am going to manage the next one the same way. Will there be another? Oh, why, didn't you know? Well, yes, I am—to Howard Miller. Oh, it hasn't been definitely settled yet. Some time in May, I believe." The girl in blue beamed upon the widow admirically. "No doubt your philosophy is sound," she said, "but I never could live up to it. By the way, I suppose you had a fine time going to the theater last week." "No," said the widow, "I didn't go at all. Howard was ill. He had to stay home from the office all last week. He wrote to me twice a day. Poor fellow, he wasn't able to get out of the house." The girl in blue stared hard, then blinked rapidly. "Merciful goodness!" she gasped. "Oh, dear—if this isn't—what shall I do? I don't suppose I ought—yet, I must. See here, my dear," she said, with determination, "I've got to tell you something. I hate to do it, but it's my duty. Howard Miller—lied—to you. Yes, lied. He may have been ill, but he wasn't too ill to get out of the house. Why, my dear, he—he went to the theater five times last week. My brother saw him there. Five times. Just think of it!" The widow抓bed her handkerchief and gloves. "Let me out of here, quick," she said. "Went to the theater five times in one week, did he? And yet I saw him on the screen to me O-ooh, how dare he lie to me so! I show him! Just wait till I catch him, if I don't-" Tribe of Canoe Indians. The North Pacific coast Indians are a fishing people. The homes of the Haida tribe are largely among islands and the canoe is their chief means of transportation and in it much of their lives is spent. The red cedars of Queen Charlotte's islands produce logs from which are made huge canes, sometimes from 45 to 60 feet in length. The Haida are master craftsmen since there is no other type of dugout canoe so light, graceful and seaworthy as this one they construct. In Halda canoe building, the outside contour is first hewed and carved. Wooden pins are $^{4}$-inved through the outer surface to indicate the varying thickness of the walls of the canoe, and the interior is dug out to the depths thus fixed. The spread of the beam is attained by steaming the wood. The canoe is partly filled with water into which red hot stones are dropped producing steam, which softens the wood. The sides are forced out by wedges which are afterward replaced by permanent seats. Beds of hot embers are kept near the canoes to dry the outer surface.—American Museum Journal. Feminine Strategy. Her name is Amy, and she is one of the nicest young misses living on the upper west side. Her father concluded last week he would do something to encourage Amy in habits of industry; therefore, he offered to give her $5 if she would trim a spring hat for herself. She accepted the proposition, and two days later appeared before her father, wearing a hat of her own creation, and a very pretty hat it was, too. Her father was delighted and handed over the $5 with real pleasure. The next day Amy, wearing another and still handsomer hat, met her father on the street. "And did you trim one, too?" he asked with manifest, pride. "No," was the reply. "I bought this hat with the $5 you gave me and presented the other one to the janitor's little girl." O. You Suburban Life! She was riding home in the suburban back and her whole conversation had beer in monotony of the country life in general and in Swarthmore in particular. "I think," she told the man opposite, "that I shall have to do something exciting just to stir things up—I mean something real shocking." "Do," he smiled, encouragingly, "and my wife will give a bridge and ask all the women who will be likely to discuss it." And the air became cooler—Philadelphia Times.
