--- VOLUME VI. NUMBER 31. BIG MEMORIAL TO THE LATE ROBERT T. MOTTS Founder of America's First Negro Theater—Hundreds of Citizens Rallying to the Aid of the Promoters to Raise a Fund to Secure a Bronze Bust and Tablet. PEKIN THEATER THE PLACE. Both White and Colored Citizens Will Gather to Do Honor to One Who Has Trod an Unbeaten Path—Tickets Going Fast—Telephone Will Begin to Ring from Today—Gay Society Affair the Outcome. On Sunday evening, August 13, "The Robert T. Motts Memorial Association will present a memorial exercise and entertainment in memory of the late Robert T. Motts, late manager and founder of the Pekin theater. This organization is founded to pay tribute to a man who had indelibly stamped his work for good in the community. On the roster of membership are the names of our foremost and most progressive citizens, and they, believing that the public is anxious to keep alive the inspiration that his work has made in our city, and that a substantial and fitting memorial be secured. They have taken steps to present an entertainment the proceeds of whic- will be devoted to the casting of a bronze bust and tablet. The bust is to be placed in the lobby of the theater and the tablet to be imbedded in its walls, standing as a tribute to his fellow citizens for the high ideals that his work inspired among his people. Mr. A. H. Roberts has been selected by the association to deliver the oration. This well known speaker has given the subject profound consideration and a gem of oratory can be expected from him. Likewise on this occasion Mr. W. R. Cowan, president of the Appomattox club, will make a short address; Hon. Ed. D. Green, member of the present state legislature, will deliver the enogy; Mr. Henry Jones, president of the Memorial association, will make the introductory remarks. The arrangement of the entertainment is in two parts: The first devoted to the speakers and the choir under the direction of Prof. E. Morris of Quinn chapel. Under his leadership the choir will render "Roissini Stabat Matar." Madam Marie Burton Hyram will sing, "Watchman, Tell Us of the Night." From the professional ranks the foremost artists have volunteered their services, including Messrs. Fiddler and Shelton, Miller and Lyles, Davis and Walker, The Clippers, The Ten Dark Knights, Billy and Sadie MacCarver, the famous Byron family, Shelton Brooks, Richard B. Harrison, Craig Williams, Clarence Tisdale, Creighton Thompson, Frank George, Sylvester Russell, Bert Murphy, and the Mrs. Patti Brown, Marie Burton, Fannie Wise, Ada Banks, and a host of others, the announcement of which will be made later. Owing to the great expense of the bronze bust and tablet the subscription for admission has been made one dollar. The association believing that the public are eager to show their appreciations and commemorate in a befitting manner the efforts of Robert T. Motts in founding in our city an institution which takes rank with the best achievements of the race, they are soliciting your patronage and endorsement in making this entertainment a memorable one in the history of the city.

Tone is a beautiful little town sit- tle in Comb county just twenty- lies from Detroit on or near influence of Clinton river and St. Clair, and is reached from t by interurban electric line, Trunk railway and by auto fine, well kept, macadamized and. Your correspondent came via the latter route, leaving Deat 1 p. m. and reaching this in 46 minutes, in company with prince of good fellows, Michael Park, in whose machine we were. Theo. Jones, the Beau Brummel of Wayne county; A. A. Owings, the sage of troquels; BenJ. Morton, the ice man, and the renowned and popular lawyer and owner of the celebrated ball team, the Leland Giants. The run was enjoyed immensely by your correspondent and when Mt. Clemens was reached the party was made welcome by George L. Hutchinson and his amiable wife, proprietors of the Mt. Clemens hotel, the most popular, complete and up-to-date hostelry in the state, where the leading Negroes of the country are entertained and treated to the celebrated baths for rheumatism and like aliments to perfection at rates that are more than reasonable. After a sumptuous repast the entire party repaired to the baseball park, where they witnessed one of the best baseball games of the season between the Leland Giants and the Mt. Clemens club (white) as the guest of Lawyer Moseley. The run back to Detroit was made in excellent time and Mt. Clemens was left behind with regrets as it is one of the best summer resorts for our people in the states. The Leland Giants are making a great hit. They played in Detroit Sunday last to 4,500 people and to a like number yesterday in Windsor, Canada, where the Negroes of the Dominion and of the States united in their forty-sixth anniversary of the emancipation proclamation. More than 10,000 were in attendance. The Leland Giants play tomorrow at Richmond; the 4th at Armada, 5-6 at Port Huron, 7-8-9-10 at Hastings, Charlotte, Allegon and Bloomingdale, Michigan, and will return home and play the St. Paul Gophers August 13. More anon. JUMBLED ORATOR WAS A HIT Valedictorian Got Badly Mixed Up But the Result Pleased His Audience Immensely. The trouble with the valedictorian was that he had started orations on three different subjects and abandoned two, after committing them to memory. This may account for the fact that the trouble ensued early in the engagement. The youth made a good getaway and was covering the ground steadily when he suddenly switched. "Beyond the Alps lies Italy," he cried as he took careful aim with his index finger at the gallery. "Such were the inspired words of Patrick Henry as he faced the astonished gathering, and pointed to the throbbing lid of the steaming kettle. If he had turned aside at the crucial moment, if Hannibal had not braved the minions of the English king, the power and helpfulness of harnessed steam might have been left for the discoverers of a future age. But such is the inexorable decree of fate. Hannibal swed down upon the plains of sunny Italy, the seeds of American independence were deeply rooted, and the steam engine was given to an amazed world if James Hannibal! I should say Patrick Watt—mean Liberty Henry—had hesitated—or looked back—the course of empire would have remained unchecked and history would have been rewritten!" Then he sat down amid tremendous applause. OLD SETTLERS' SOCIAL CLUB PIC NIC The Old Settlers' Social Club will give their annual picnic at Rasche's Park, 79th Street and Bond Avenue on Monday, August 7th, from 12 a.m. to 12 p.m. Take South Deering cars at 63rd St. and Jackson Park Avenue. Garfield Wilson's orchestra will furnish the music and the affair promises to be in every way enjoyable. ENTERPRISING MR. WM. FOSTER. Pictorial Postal cards of Chicago Churches and Negro business places is something new in the way of race enterprise. A set of twelve subjects of the most handsome postals ever put on the market found their way into the Defender office; where they came from no one seems to know. The Defender reporter set about to find out who published them. The only clew to follow was that they were published by the Wm. Foster Music Co., photo by Peter Jones, the noted Chicago photographer. On requiring of Mr. Jones as to the publisher of the cards at first Mr. Jones acted as if he was as much at a loss as the reporter, as to who put the cards out, but at length he said a colored man had them published but that he did not care to discuss the matter any further. This did not satisfy the Defender reporter, who set out then to find the producer of the cards as it is a set policy of the Defender not to let any man or woman who was working in the interest of the race to stay hidden, regardless of the space it may take to let the people know that we are expanding in the business world. After locating the Wm. Foster Music Co. Mr. Foster refused to talk, only said that the colored people of Chicago were as much entitled to show the world its fine buildings as any other race. The white manufacturers refuse to publish them saying that it was quite a big layout; it was not that the colored people were the best spenders in the world, but to give ey these days. The Defender goes them something for their money these days. The Defender goes on record as endorsing these cards. There is no finer on the market and will find their way all over the civilized world. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1911. THE MAGNOLIA THEATRE OF CINCINNATI Forced to Close Its Doors as a Colored Institution. Will the Negroes of Chicago Get Wise and Do Something to Protect Themselves from Insults Offered Them in Chicago. After a short and tedious session to almost empty benches and the gloom and dread of vacant space and the expenses of bright lights and no people for them to shine upon, for people who would have liked to attend the palace of Magnolia which was erected for the colored people by a prejudiced man who had turned their race down in his large and small theaters and saloons, were loath to forget the affront as they slowly walked right past the door. And it was even intimated that the proprietor had only intended to run the theater temporarily as a colored house in order to build up a patronage that would sustain his cause in converting the house into a white institution at a later opportunity. This new advent of the Magnolia was the tempest of one man against the magnanimity of an injured race, and by this we can see that Cincinnati is one city where the colored people have pride, intelligence and unity, and the exercise of the press and public opinion of all the people unanimously voted to stay away and close up the theater. If this rebuke is of national importance it can be looked upon as an example of general fitness. William H. Smith, who took the management of the house, spared no pains to make the program the best and most attractive that could be had in the west, so he secured Sidney L. Perrin and an extra enlarged company for the production of "Southland," which could have otherwise filled the theater. But alas, a different story when the sound of the grinding was low and the voices of the people resounded in continuous notes of disapproval by frowning at the box office. They spoke of the Magnolia as dope that had been poked down their throats. Forerunners and press agents had extemporized that the refugiency of iron-like sarcasm had cast a skeleton over the bright shadow of its nudity. And the likes of that was threatened when the visage sign met the gaze of each performer in the dressing room: "Colored Vaudelle Will Hereafter Be Discontinued," but there was no indication that the white man's ghost would soon appear. In the story of the closing of the Magnolia we must bear in mind that in the commercial occupation of the amusement business the problem is not color but the squareness of the deal and its freedom from prejudice. Right here in Chicago we have the same condition in a more lighter and adjustable manner because of equality of racial conditions and theatrical competition. Motts' Perkin theater, which will probably open its doors soon again, will be confronted by the different phases of that which rebels or compels to the essentials of race adjustment. PROVIDENT HOSPITAL BASEBALL GAME. Booker T. Washington is said to have accepted an invitation to pitch the first ball for the game. We are sure the doctor can put them over the plate, all right. The way Mr. Anderson is answering the telephone one would take him for a hello girl, but it is only his answering call for seats to buyers for the game. Ex-Mayor Busse has also given his promise to attend; also Mrs. Busse and their bouncing boy. The ladies will surely be particularly interested in seeing our ex-mayor and wife at the game. One on the Locusts. "You know," said Silas, as he drove Mr. Commuter to the station, "them there seventeen-year-locusts is curous beasts. Oh, I've watched them, I know their ways. They come up out of the ground and they makes for the nearest tree, and they climb up the trunk till they gets to the leaves. Leaves is what they're after!" "Tother day I seen a man standin' in the road, a-lookin' up at a telegraph pole and a-laughin' to beat the band. "Wot yer laughin' at, friend? says l. "See all them dom seventeen-year-old locusts, a-scutilin and a-scurryin' up that there pole? says he. "Yes, says l, what of it? "I'm just a-thinkin', he says, a-most doublein' up laughin', what an April fool it'll be for them when they gets to the top!" THE NAMING CONTEST. Next Saturday the Defender will give the name of the lucky one who named the picture of the Four Bull at the Bank door. So many good names have been entered during the past week the 15 judges have been unable to decide this week; the names from the Southern and Eastern states, as well as the Western have been some identical. The judges have decided to choose according to the dates of receiving; should they decide on one which has the same name, of two or more. Therefore making it fair to all concerned. $200,000 BANK FOR 31ST STATE STREETS. All business seems to be centering around 31st and State Sts., here or late. W. H. Bowers & Co., who have been on the corner for over 20 years has now spring something new for us in the form of a real bank; the colored people in the vicinity have shown their loyalty to him and he now, in turn, will give them the long felt need of that corner. Associated with him will be Mr. Frank Collins and Mr. G. F. Liebrandt whom you all know. Mr. Liebrandt, too modest to say, has done much to assist many a young colored man in business and it is known that many of them would have gone to the wall had he not taken his gold and handed it out to the ones he thought or knew were deserving. Such men as these we can't but help our readers and friends to support in their undertaking. The bank will be known as the Lincoln Trust & Savings Bank of Chicago. WE CHARGE FOR NOTICES Some of our friends get angry when we tell them we charge for notices and speak of having them placed in the daily papers free; we ask them to go and try it and if they do we will give them a page free. It costs to set up type, when the paper falls you will be the first to say, "I told you so." Six hundred getting the paper without paying for it is enough free dojos. MRS. C. S. WASHINGTON HOLDS RECEPTION IN HONOR OF HER SISTER-IN-LAW. One of the most pleasant of the summer social affairs was the reception given by Mrs. C. S. Washington of 3732 Calumet avenue on Friday afternoon, July 21, from four to six, in honor of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Benjamin Washington, of Washington, D. C. The house was tastefully decorated in roses, ferns and potted plants, and the prevailing colors in the dining room were pink and white. The hostess was assisted in receiving by Mesdames Thompson, Carroll and Shanklin. Miss Grace Thompson presided at the punch bowl. Mrs. Avendorph presented the guest. The visitors present were: Misses C. M. Carney, A. M. Mollison, Myrtle Craig, Nora Huigston, M. Williams, J. Swelch, Jacobs, Mabel Mormon, Burgess and Mrs. Wright, Mrs. M. L. Ash, and Dr. E. Barnett, all of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo. DEFENDER CORRESPONDENT IN HOT SPRINGS. St. Louis, Mo. August 4—Prof. J. Fenton Johnson, head of the English department of State university, Louisville, KY, and correspondent for the Chicago Defender, and his brother, Albert Johnson, are in St. Louis attending the teachers' convention. Prof. Johnson was entertained at dinner by Miss Victoria Wallace, one of the popular St. Louis teachers. One of the first persons he met was Dr. Garnett, formerly president of his university. He has been invited to a host of social events but owing to his various duties he has been unable to attend all of them. Mr. Albert Johnson reports that Dr. and Mrs. C. H. Phillips (formerly Edna French) are on the topmost pinnacle in St. Louis. From St. Louis they will go to Hot Springs, and Prof. Johnson will report for the Defender only the great convention the Negro Business League will hold at Little Rock, Ark. TRIJMPH OF WATER FINDING English Expert Locates Ample Supply. Guaging Depth Below Surface Within Two Feet. A very remarkable achievement in "water-finding" has been carried through at Selly Oak, Birmingham. It was necessary to discover a supply of water on the land belonging to the Patent Enamel works, and Mr. Chesterman was called from Hereford for the purpose. He went over the land with his piece of aluminium wire for about half an hour. Then he suddenly stopped and declared that at the place where he stood water would be found at a depth of 250 feet. A contract was signed by which he engaged to sink an eight-inch artesian tube which should produce not less than 15,000 gallons of water a day, on the condition "No water, no pay." He employed hydraulic boring machinery, and in fourteen days struck water at a depth of 248 feet, and test pumping for 29 hours proved a yield of 30,000 gallons per day. That the expert should have gauged the depth within two feet is considered one of the greatest triumphs in water-finding of modern times. GRAND PICNIC GIVEN BY OAK PARK LODGE NO. 40, KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.

NOAH DAVIS THOMPSON MARRIED Eloise A. Bibb and Noah D. Thompson, Two Interesting Persons. Quietly United in Wedlock. The Bride an Author, Heiress and Social Settlement Worker of New Orleans and Washington, D. C.—The Groom a Prominent Chicagoan on the Personal Staff of Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee Institute—Both Pride Themselves Upon "Uplifting Service Rendered for the Race"—The Bride Publicly Praised by President Wilbur P. Thurkfield of Howard University, the Groom by Booker T. Washington. Miss Eloise A. Bibb and Mr. Noah D. Thompson were quietly united in wedlock Friday morning, August 4, by Rev. Father John S. Morris of St. Monica Roman Catholic Church, in the presence of a few relatives and close friends of the bride and groom. The bride was born and reared in New Orleans, La., where, after graduating from the University of New Orleans, she taught in the public schools. Later Miss Bibb spent two years studying in Oberlin College, after which she was graduated from the Teachers' College of Howard University and placed in charge of the social settlement work of the institution in Washington, D. C. On the occasion of the dedication of the Social Settlement House of Howard University, after reviewing Miss Bibbs' three years' settlement work, President Wilbur P. Thurkfield publicly said among other complimentary things that, "She is a woman who has accomplished a hard task of colored settlement work by putting her heart in it and her life under it, and wrought wonderful results. Beginning her work for the university with a few narrow cramped rooms in a small house, by her energy and sacrifice she has made a great building dedicated to the crying need of despairing mothers and children of Washington, which will ever stand as a monument to the devotion of Howard's true representative, Eloise A. Bibb, whose motto is, 'Culture for Service.'" Mrs. Thompson is the daughter of the late Charles H. Bibb, who was born in New Orleans and served in the War of the Rebellion. Mr. Bibb was associated with Ex-Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback, in politics, and was a great lover of his race. For forty years Mr. Bibbs served as inspector of United States customs and amassed a good fortune through his economy and business sagacity. At his recent demise he left real estate and other securities amounting to $75,000 to his only child and daughter, Eloise. At present the groom is serving in the executive department of Tuskegee Institute as circulation manager of the many Tuskegee publications. For many years Mr. Thompson held a very responsible position in Chicago with the United States Express Company. While a resident here Mr. Thompson accomplished so many good things for the benefit of his race that a book recently published in Boston on the progress of the race devotes considerable space to his accomplishments and progressive nature. In a recent public address in Chicago Booker T. Washington thanked his vast audience for permitting Tuskegee to take from them so earnest a co-worker and lover of the race. Mr. Thompson is credited here with having accumulated a small fortune through his strict economy and careful investments. Dr. and Mrs. George C. Hall entertained the bridal party at breakfast immediately after the ceremonies. The bride and groom will leave Chicago Sunday afternoon for Somerset, Pa., to visit Master Noah Murphy Thompson, son of the groom, and grandson of Editor John H. Murphy of the Afro-American. Before returning to their future home in Tuskegee the happy pair will probably visit Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Cape May. Friendly Offices. Friends bound the bridal pair with ropes, shackled them to their seat in the car, and covered them with placards which coarsely set forth that they were newly-married. "Boys," protested the groom, at length, "this isn't fun!" But the friends did not take offense, graciously bearing in mind that where a man is so desperately in love, his sense of humor undergoes a temporary suspension. MR. BOB COLE DROWNED. Special to The Defender New York, Aug. 4—Bob Cole, of Cole & Johnson show, the Original Tramp, was drowned on Wednesday; he got away from his valet and wandered out to the river and fell in. A little girl gave the alarm; when ald came he sank the last time. A young white man risked his life to save him, jumping overboard with all his clothes on. After a search of an hour or more his body was recovered. He leaves a mother and three sisters to mourn his loss. Mr. Cole, it will be remembered, lost his mind a little over two years ago. Can You Find This Yung Lady's Father? She Needs His Protection. St. Paul, August 4.—Wanted: the address or whereabouts of A. E. Buckner, by his daughter, Amelia. Write to 526 Charles street, St. Paul, Minn. THE MOTTS ESTATE At the trial of the heirs of the Motts estate Miss Gertrude Jackson was appointed Administratrix with charge; that is to say, those who are in authority will still continue to be until the case is settled in September. MRS. ELDRIDGE, WELCOME BACK TO CHICAGO. Mrs. Alice Butter Eldridge, formerly of Chicago, now of Los Angeles, Cal., is stopping in the city for a month, after which she will leave for an extended trip through the East, stopping in New York, Atlantic City, Boston, via the Fall River line; returning will spend a week in Chicago. She spoke highly of the Chicago Defender and says the colored Women's Club uses the Defender entirely to read of the current events of the race; the ladies are all anxious to get the Defender even though it is two or three weeks old. Mrs. Eldridge has secured a divorce from her husband and says while the ordal was trying she is now much happier than she was when tied by the matrimonial string. She was given a royal welcome at her (Grace Presbyterian) church on Sunday last by her many friends. She is the guest of Mrs. J. H. Studymire, 445 East 32nd Street. BATAVIA, ILLINOIS, SOCIAL NEWS By Miss Edith Hardin. Mrs. Florence Woodard, Mrs. R. H. Hardin and Mr. Creighton Thompson, of Chicago, visited Mrs. George S. Jordan last Sunday. Mrs. Ada Mitchell and Mrs. Erina Jones, of Chicago, visited Mrs. G. S. Jordan and her guest, Mrs. R. H. Hardin, Sunday, July 29th. They had a pleasant time and thought Batavia was a grand place. Mr. and Mrs. Clayburn Turner entertained the visitors of Chicago at a dinner party on Thursday evening, July 27th. Covers were laid for twenty. Mrs. G. S. Jordan gave a luncheon on Friday, July 28th. The out of town guests were: Mrs. R. H. Hardin and family, Mrs. Cook and family, of Chicago, Mrs. Wilson and family of Chicago, Mrs. C. L. Turner, Misses Alma and Isa and Howard Martin, Mrs. Mary Jordan, Mrs. James Steward and Mr. McKinley Steward. UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AT DOUG LASS CENTER. The Chicago University summer students' meeting at the Douglass Center Friday evening was largely attended, the program being in charge of the Fisk club, with Mr. S. Laing Williams as master of ceremonies. Brief addresses, college songs, yells and recitations characterized the evening. In the absence of Mrs. Crunt-Cone, the club president, Mrs. C. R. Lewis read the program, after which a social hour followed renewing former acquaintances. The rich gowns of Mrs. S. Laing Williams, Mrs. J. T. Jenifer and Mrs. W. H. Doris were conspicuous among the simply clad sweet graduates of the younger set. So warmly did they receive our summer guests that the welcome filled the air. Mr. F. S. Barnette was present. INFLUENCE OF SALT WATER It Induces Some to Drink, Others to Be Profane, and Others to Tell Falsehoods. When riding on the harbor steamboats use your ears. Then you will not need your eyes nor your brains. By paying heed to the intentionally audible remarks of your neighbor it will be possible to pick up more inaccurate information than in any other place in the city. The deck of a ferry or the rail of a steamer acts curiously on the human mind. If it does not know, it will risk a guess, and the widener the guess the more willingly risked. It is well known that salt water acts in freakish ways on the conscience. To some it brings an overwhelming impulse to get drunk; to others it brings a disposition to the freeest use of profanity; and still others, who would never think of sibling from the windows of a railroad train (dear old gentlemen, and innocent young girls), the instant they put off from the wharf begin to tell the most shocking whoppers.—Boston Transcript.

PRICE 5 CENTS NEGROES OF ATLANTA RISING DESPITE PREJUDICE SOME WHITE AND BLACK COMPARISONS OF EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES OF ATLANTA. Do You Blame the Negroes for Leaving a Country Like This? Atlanta, Ga., August 4—The following is a statistical comparison showing some advantages of white and colored school children in Atlanta, Ga. The report is obtained from the superintendent's office: White. Colored. No. No. Graded schools ... 38 11 High schools ... 4 0 (See note 1.) Night schools ... 2 0 Teachers ... 420 80 Physical directors ... 4 Physical examiners ... 2 0 Physical inspectors ... 2 0 Musical directors ... 2 0 Drawing directors ... 3 0 School enumeration ... 15,324 4,778 Out of school ... 5,000 (See note 2.) Avg. salary pr. teacher. $77.62 $41.03 Note 1—Two technical high schools. Note 2—Estimate furnished by principals and teachers of colored schools. These pupils are held out because of lack of provision. In all the colored schools, from first through fourth grade, double sessions are taught by the same teachers. So evident and glaring are the differences in advantages of the white and colored children, special mention of the disparity is hardly necessary. However, we wish to call attention to the following: No high schools for colored. No night schools for colored. No drawing for colored. No physical direction for colored. No medical direction for colored. No technical or industrial training for colored. No provision for 5,000 colored children. Ratio of children, one colored to three white. Ratio of teachers, one colored to five white. Ratio of pay, two for colored to three for white. Ratio of work, two for colored to one for white. The following comment was made concerning the Negro schools by Mrs. John K. Ottley, chairman of the lady board of visitors to the public schools of Atlanta: "Comment should be made upon the good work being done by the Negro schools of the city. Nearly all of them have double sessions to accommodate the pupils, and even then many children are unprovided for. All the Negro schools are wonderfully neat and clean, the order is always good and the purpose earnest." In spite of small pay and double work, our teachers are purposeful and earnest, as noted by Mrs. Ottley. The Negro teachers of Atlanta should be commended for such splendid effort.—From Southern Life Magazine. BOB COLE REPORTED DROWNED IN THE CATSKILLS. Just as we go to press it was reported by the Associated Press that Robert Cole, the illustrious comedy star, had deliberately walked out into a stream in the Catskill mountains, where he had gone this summer for his health, and drowned. If the report is true a full illustrated account of Mr. Cole who was the foremost comedian of his race in attainments, will be given in the Defender by Sylvester Russell, who has a biography of his public history. CALHOUN AT THE OCULIST'S La Follette's Story of the Darky Walter Applied to Those Who Fear Reciprocity. United States Senator La Follette, discussing reciprocity, said with a smile: "These fears are groundless. They are groundless to the point of being ludicrous. They remind me, in fact, of Calhoun Clay. "Calhoun Clay was a waiter at a seaside restaurant. The white glare of the sun-drenched beach injured his eyes, and he had to consult an oculist. The oculist fitted him out with spectacles, and, as he left the shop with the spectacles on his nose, he gave a great start and halted before a huge and extraordinary machine. "Calhoun stared in awe at this machine for some time. Then he said: "Who's dat, boss?" "That', said the oculist solemnly, 'is an ophthalmometer.' "An 'sho', muttered Calhoun, and he backed farther away, his eyes still fixed upon the formidable instrument 'sho', dat's what Ah wuz afeared it wuz.'" PLEASE PAY FOR YOUR DE- FENDER. Six hundred of our subscribers have not paid for their Defender this year. Can you expect a paper to live like that? Hasn't the Defender done its duty?

Saved By Its Tick The last thing the woman did was to put four rings in the clock on the mantel. "So thieves won't get the c.," she said. "I should think that would be simply inviting thieves to run away with them," said her friend. "That is a handsome clock, and thieves like clocks." "They do," said the woman, "but they will never steal this clock. It ticks too loud. No wise thief will run away with a clock that goes like a thrashing machine. It isn't the alarm about his person that he is afraid of, for he can stop the clock, but the occupants of the flat are likely to return before he gets safely away, and if a loud-tickling clock is gone they will miss it the minute they step inside the door, and maybe given him a hot chase for his plunder." For Extinguishing Oil. For extinguishing oil fires where water is both ineffective and dangerous, frothy liquids have been recommended. In a late test near Hamburg a mixture of one quart each of caustic soda and alum solutions yielded 15 quarts of a yellowish-white foam, having a density of 0.14, and this could be sucked up and distributed like water by a hose. A basement of 30 square feet, filled with benzine to 20 inches, was fired, and was extinguished in 78 seconds with 18 gallons of the frothy mixture, and a burning benzine tank, six feet in diameter and nine feet high, was extinguished in 13 seconds. The benzine was little affected, burning as usual after removal of the froth.

The Quitter BY IZOLA FORRESTER (Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press.) "I object to marriage as a profession," Miss Winston was very near what is called the verge of tears. Her throat felt choked, and her eyes smarted, and she knew in about two minutes more she was going to cry, simply cry before this correct and self-contained person who said he was one of the trustees. "Under the terms of your father's will, I am afraid you will have to accustom yourself to that point of view." "Marry anybody at all who is competent to manage his mining properties and interests." Her color rose as she spoke. "If that isn't just like dad. Instead of thinking of me, and of my personal tastes, he puts up a hedge around the whole thing, and says don't jump. And even your advice is—" "Don't jump." Oliver smiled at her, as he leaned forward, smoothing the head of her colle. "Why did dad ever choose you as my trustee?" "One of your trustees, Betty." "One of them," with fine scorn. "Aren't the other two poor old bed-ridden individuals that never could possibly step me from jumping over the fence if I wanted to? Old General Worthing and funny little Mr. Quarles. No, Olile, you do know perfectly well that dad had a sinister motive in his mind when he put that clause in his will." "What clause?" "You mean what motive." Betty faced him, the tears in her hazel eyes, her hair all ruffled into little curls around her forehead. "He simply appointed you official watch dog over my actions." "You need one." "Perhaps you can help me out. Can't you bring to my notice a man who is a responsible inning engineer." A "Oh, Yes, I Remember!" and thorough business man, capable, warranted to be kind and gentle to his wife?" "Oh, Betty, quit!" Oliver rose. "You've got to be sensible over the situation the same as I am. I don't want you as a responsibility for all time. And neither I want to see you lose all you've got in some rash speculative thing." "Do you mean my heart?" "I do not. That is immaterial compared to your fortune. If you married some worthless dog, where would you be inside of a year or so? Your father was level all right. Bet. Be good." Betty meditated, and smiled suddenly. "I have just discovered something, this minute. It isn't dad's clause that I mind so much as the fact that you're my boss. Yes, you are. You needn't try to dodge the issue either. As the only trustee who is healthy, you can boss me for the rest of my life, unless I do get a husband. Oliver, dearie, I believe I see light. I will marry to escape you as trustee." "You marry without my consent, and I can tie up your fortune so that you get only the income." "How you respect an income. I don't, not a bit. Don't you suppose, if I really wanted to marry anybody, I would do so? Don't you know me well enough for that?" Oliver bit his lip to hide the smile that would come. Didn't he know her? There was just eight years between them he and this willful, lovely third cousin of his, and too well did he know her. "Don't you," she repeated. "You've come all the way from New York to the Adirondacks this summer day to tell me all this legal stuff," with a gesture toward the paper laden table between them. "And you know in your heart that if I wanted to marry I would throw the whole thing over my shoulder and run." "Is that a challenge?" "Not to you, certainly. Ollie, I don't believe you ever had a thrill of sentiment in your whole life, you dear, correct old owl." Clayhorne made no answer, merely glanced up at her, and there was a world of mutual knowledge in that look, something that made even Betty lower her gaze. "Oh, yes, I remember," she went on, vaguely. "Remember what?" "Your sole ascent on the airship of sentiment." "Came an awful cropper, didn't I, Bet?" Betty flashed a glance at him and wondered. While she had teased and flouted, and generally flirted with Olliver ever since she could remember him as a very self contained and dignified lad from college, she had also known that toobody in the world, not even her adoring father, had the control over her that this same third cousin possessed. And once, only two years back, she had boxed his ears vigorously over some trifle, boxed them, and had found herself lifted bodily in strong arms, and most fiercely kissed. Thereupon she had declined to renew friendly relations with Mr. Clayborne, as cousin or friend, apost of all, as lover. Yet here he had appeared as trustee of her fortune, and tacit guarding of her fate. It was distinctly annoying and bewildering, especially, as his sole object in coming way up to the Winston lodge seemed to be good advice on marrying a sensible, well kept sort of person who should take excellent care of her father's cash. Betty felt put upon, and thoroughly irritable. "You were a quitter, Oliver," she said. "I didn't know you took that view of it, Bet." "Any man is a quitter who runs from danger." "Then you admit it was—danger?" "Bet, dearest." He pushed the nosing colle to one side, and crossed to her chair, "I'm not a quitter, but I am not a dangling idiot, and I know when I haven't a ghost of a chance. Do you see? You know that I love you—" "I do not." "You do. And it is much like your Rex there daring to fall in love with a blue ribbon Jan spamel." "Did dad know?" asked Betty suddenly. "I told him often enough." "Why didn't you tell me?" "You knew." "Oh, Oliver, you stolid, set old—old, what shall I call you? You expect me to do all the—" Betty paused and lifted a tear-stained face. And once again in the history of things in general, was she lifted in strong arms and kissed. "I knew if I ever came up here and saw you again," said Oliver presently, as he lifted his head, "that I'd give up my trusteeship. We'll be married in a month, Bet, won't we?" IN THE THICK OF THE HUNT Somewhat Mean Trick Clubmates Played on Man Who Wanted to Get to Sleep. Mendow Brook is still resounding with the echoes of the recent polo games. The merits of the two teams, of the ponies, and of the different styles of play are constantly discussed. Now and then one catches a glimpse of the lighter side of a huntsman's life, as when the tale is retold of Edwin D. Morgan and the night he followed the hounds in his pajamas. It appears that Mr. Morgan left a protesting company in the Mendow Brook club one night and retired to bed. "You couldn't get me out of bed if you set the hounds on me," he declared with determination. That gave his fellow sportsmen an iden. It happened that Mr. Morgan's room adjourned the one in which midnight revelry was being carried to an extreme. After the sleepy sportsman had been given time to close his eyes, the master of the hunt quietly jimmied the Morgan window. Then he crept through with the drag that is used to lay a scent for the hounds to follow, and pulled it across Morgan's bed, through an opened door and into the bar. Then the hounds were turned loose. The sportsmen gathered in the doorways of the club to watch them come on. They plunged through the dooryard, through the open window of the Morgan bed chamber, across the Morgan bed, out the open door, and surrounded the innocent drag in the adjacent bar. And right after them—all scratched up by the hounds' toes, and injured deeply by the entire proceeding, boiled Mr. Morgan, pajamas and all. Mr. Morgan can now recall the affair without bursting into meidolic speech. But it is history that the hours immediately following the Morgan drag hunt were even more strenuous than the Meadow Brookers are accustomed to—From a New York Letter to the Cincinnati Times-Star. President for a Day. Frogtown, Ky., has the distinction of having been the birthplace of a man who was president of the United States for the space of a single day. This was David R. Atchison, for whom the town of Atchison, in Kansas, was named. March 4, 1849, fell upon a Sunday. General Taylor was due to be inaugurated president on that day, but because it was Sunday he refused to be inaugurated till the next day, neither did he take the oath of office till the ceremony of inauguration occurred March 5 in front of the capitol. Hence Senator Atchison of Missouri, who was at that time president pro tem. of the senate, by this peculiar combination of circumstances became president of the United States de jure from the hour of noon on March 4 till the hour of inauguration on the day following. Atchison lived many years after his retirement from the senate and was careful to have this incident incorporated in his biography. He died in 1866. Stern Guardian of the Lay The zeal of a young giant from the country, who was enrolled in the police force at Gothenburg, Sweden, the other day, has been rousing no little amusement amongst members of the force. He was given a very quiet street as his first "beat." For hours nothing happened, but suddenly a watercart appeared and began to flood the road. After watching the cart for several minutes with a perplexed air, the new and zealous constable went up to the driver and said sternly, "Come with me to the police station. I have kept my eye on you. At first I thought your cart was leaking, but now I see you are doing it on purpose." Is This: True? "They say a woman starts at the back of a book and reads forward." "I'll give you the truth on that question. After careful investigation I feel confident in saying that a woman starts in the middle of a book and reads both ways." Sweet Innocence.

By A. W. Abrams. Special to the Chicago Defender South Bond, Ind., August 4.—Mr. A. W. Abrams, representative for the Cohen Medicine Company of New York, has returned from Gary after a successful business trip. He and his traveling partner, Mr. H. A. Kelth, while there were successful in opening a branch office. Dr. H. S. Cohen, president and general manager, met them Sunday and stopped off after attending to some important business, he left with his representatives for the east. They will make Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio. Cohen is one of the shrewdest business men in commercial lines belonging to the colored race. In him we find a race man that is business from beginning to end. Would to God we had more like him. He is plain and knows how to do business. He owns and controls one of the largest chemical plants in New York city, being operated by colored people only. Mrs. A. W. Abrams is now under the care of Dr. H. S.

Miss Odessa Wright, guest of Miss Fannie Bridgeman, left Sunday for Indianapolis. Mr. Horace Smith of Indianapolis was house guest of Miss Bridgeman Sunday. Miss Geraldyne Hodges has returned to Chicago from a three weeks' visit in South Bend with Miss Bridgeman. Miss Bertha Morgan and Mrs. N. Wright of Indianapolis were house guests of Mrs. A. W. Price Sunday. Mrs. N. Crittenen entertained in honor of Miss Hodges of Chicago and Miss Odessa Wright of Indianapolis last Thursday evening. "Life," by Mrs. A. W. Abrams. "What is life?" "What is there in life?" "Does life pay?" Life is composed of four letters. The first letter of life is also the first letter of love and luck. Possessing life we should possess as well its two four-letter contemporaries. They come at call. He who seeks finds. Love is the center and circumference; the cause and aim of all things. Tis the key of joy and sorrow and the recompense for all ills that have been or may be. Luck is the tuning of our inmost thought; the coord with God's law. That done, oh, know, thy silent wishes to results shall grow and one by one shall miracles be wrought. Life, love and luck make heaven. The second letter of life is "I." "I" stands for ideals. Life with ideals is an eternal dawn, rich with the possibilities of coming day; a star, a desert without an oasis. Life with ideals is an eternal dawn, rich with the possibilities of coming day; a green road leading through whispering forests and by rippling rivers. Possessing life, we should possess ideals and hold by them, however envisioned by the commonplace. Ideals persistently pictured by the mind become realities, and by and by we find there is no world of the commonplace but only varying planes of interest and beauty. The third letter in life is "F." "F." "a stands for faith, for faith and foundation, and faith is indeed a foundation rock of all that is worth while in life. Faith brings happiness, hope and success. Possessing life we should possess faith, God within ourselves. Life and faith are an invincible pair. They scale all heights, they leap over all obstacles, they conquer all difficulties, they vanquish all foes. They stand face to face with death himself and cry. "There is no death." And death appears, leaving the pathway clear to life, progressive and eternal. The last letter in life is "E." "E" stands for energy and eternity. In the difficult battles which every soul must fight in the simplest and safest walks of life, energy is a most important quality. It is because so few souls develop the mine of energy lying within themselves that earth's highways are so cumbered by failures. There is nothing which cannot be achieved by immortal man, radiant and with energy' of mind and body. Upon our development and use of energy depends the ability to possess love, luck and faith. It requires unremitting energy to awaken the highest self, the self which realizes its unity with universal life, and it requires patient and persistent energy to exercise and annihilate that petty, selfish self which steps in the path of progress toward life eternal and asks, "Does life pay?" and "What is life?" Possessing life therefore, let us possess love, luck, faith and energy and press on to the heights and stand there proclaiming life is God. IS EXTREME OF DESCLATION Unfinished Card Game. With Pasteboards Lying Just Where the Players Left Them. Asked what sight represented to his mind the extreme of desolation, the renting agent said: "An unfinished card game, with the cards lying just where the players left them. This morning I came across an interrupted game of hearts in a furnished flat that was vacated suddenly. The tenants simply packed their clothes and moved out without a word of explanation to anybody, and as they didn't owe me a cent it wasn't my place to run them down. "They had been playing on the dining room table, and the game was about half finished. Four hands of cards thrown down when the game was anybody's that knew how to turn a trick worked on the imagination. Why did they stop playing in such a hurry? Why didn't they stay to finish the game, or if they couldn't do that, why didn't they scrape the cards together and take them along? Interesting questions, those, and I'd like to have them answered." Amusing Typographical Errors A double-barreled typographical error is related in Henry S. Harrison's novel, "Queed." A southern paper referred to a spirited old major as "that immortal veterinary" and when it sought the next day to retrieve itself, at the major's insistent denmand, the hateful words came out "immoral veteran." An equally amusing error was made on the occasion of a charity ball held in Buffalo. The society editor in describing the gowns of the women guests characterized one as having "riddeness trimmings." To her horror and surprise when she saw the article in print the dress was adorned with "indecent trimmings." Sampson at Gaza. 1 A familiar story is that of Sampson pulling down the pillars of the temple of Gaza, whereby the roof fell upon the Philistines. How Samson was able to do this is now known. Excavations on the site of Gaza show that the pillars of the temple were of wood, and rested upon foundations of stone without being fastened thereto. The strong man had, therefore, merely to push these pillars off their supporting stones, when down would come the point of the whole building Puts Blame on Elders Dr. C. Stanley Hall has collected facts regarding the fears of children. These fears are generally created by servants. He found that 1,701 children had 6,456 fears, the leading ones being the fear of lightning and thunder, reptiles, strangers, dark, death, domestic animals, disease, wild animals, mice, rats, robbers, high wind, etc. A few of these fears are rational. In one place children were-found who dreaded the end of the world—a fear created by adult teaching: The Building of Life Life is a building. It rises slowly day by day, through the years. Every new lesson we learn lays a block on the edifice which is rising silently within us. Every experience, every tour of another life on ours, every influence that impresses us, every book we read, every conversation we have, every act of our commonest days, adds something to the invisible building—J. R. Miller. Snakes for Protection A London scientist has suggested that the custom of keeping house snakes, so prevalent in the tropics, now and in all sections of the world in ancient days, be revived as a precaution against rats that are now proved to be the vehicles of plague germs. The snake is regarded as a much surer exterminator of rats than either terriers or cats. Facts About Flowers A German botanist figures out the number of species of flowers cultivated in Europe as 4,200, of which 420 possess an agreeable perfume. Odors are most likely to be found in flowers having white or cream colored petals, then yellow, red, blue and violet in order. The Joy of Today.

How do you feel after your vacation? A postal savings account isn't a bad thing to start. UNIVERSITY A State Street wag predicted an early fall when he saw banana peelings on the sidewalk. In sope of the states they are taxing bachelors; they doubless come under the head of unimproved property. The boys at the new Northwestern Station are making good, another evidence of what can be done when an opportunity is afforded. We can now boast the most powerful naval guns in the world and if the enemy will only stand still we will knock him to smithereens. Being loyal to your friends is a good trait, but some ministers need to be reminded that the pulpit should not be used for advertising purposes. An English magazine advertises a liquid that stains the face like tan, enabling one to exhibit the proofs of a vacation, even though they remain at home—lots of us on a vacation. The center of population of the United States is about four miles south of Unionville, Monroe County, Indiana, the census bureau announces. A great many people thought it was State and Thirty-first Street. Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, ad dressing a Washington audience, assured his hearers that "it is through adversity that great men are made," and he predicted that the Negro race would be developed by hardship, injustice and allusion just as the white race has been. How true this is. The article which appeared in the Defender last week with reference to Mr. Peter P. Jones should have read that two (white) boys were selling nude pictures; and when Mr. Jones, talking to a friend, said, "the boys were in the law," and at this point, the officer made the threat of arresting him for expressing his opinion. While it is not always possible for people in moderate circumstances to take their children to the country for an outing, it is possible for the poorest of them to visit once or twice a week at least some of the nearby playgrounds or parks and let the little tots have a breath of pure, fresh air and a romp over the lawns. Playing in alleys and fifty streets isn't conducive to good health. Parents owe this much to their children and should see that they get it. State Street is to have a street fair the latter part of August, with a world of electric lights, fakirs, side shows, brass bands, etc. It will extend from Twenty-ninth to Thirty-fifth streets. The promoters are urging the business men along the way to make special efforts to make their stores attractive and pleasing. State already popular will be made doubly so by this attraction and if your goods are so displayed as to attract the passer by you have not only made a sale but in many instances a steady customer. The Automatic Telephone Co. induced subscribers to make contracts for services on the assurance that the full price would not be collected until the full 20,000 phones were in use. A few days ago bills were sent to many whose names did not even appear in the book we understand. We all welcome competition and feel that the Automatic is a step in the right direction but the company should not make the mistake of antagonizing the public by charging for service that was never rendered. THE RACE OF LOVE. With gainsay glee the world doth speak Of love that can never die, Where life beholds two martyred souls, Whose love will live for aye. Not to repent—love's innocent— Repulped or falsely accused— A bogus tip from envy's lip And, one heart's much abused. Thro' channels rare, to do or dare, Love will never stay apart— Let love alone. Love claims its own, Or dies of a broken heart. For life decrees that enemies, Who counterance passion's way, Will find love pure and loves race sure, Forever and a day. —Glyester Russell. 2. You are not in it, so to speak, unless you can boast of living east of State Street. It is all very well to surround yourself with all possible comforts, so long as those comforts do not lead to extravagance and finally to ruin. Someone has aptly applied the term "strimmers" to a certain element who live up to every penny they make. As a rule this class is not found west of State or in Englewood, where many pretty and comfortable homes are to be seen. It matters not what your income may be, a little can be put aside for a rainy day. Common Sense and Science Common Sense and Science. It can now be seen how little truth there is in Huxley's much quoted dictum that science is organized common sense. That is precisely what science is not. Science is a wholly different sense of knowledge than sense at about eye point. To common sense, the sun revolves about the earth; to science, the contrary is an established fact. To common sense, a planet is till and stationary; to science it is a group of rapidly revolving centers of energy. To common sense water is a true element; to science, it is a compound of atoms of the familiar hydrogen and oxygen. To common sense, the Rosetta stone is a bit of brick covered with more or less regular markings, probably with a decorative purpose; to science, it is the key to a forgotten language and the open door to knowledge of a lost civilization—From a lecture on Philosophy by Nicholas Murray Butler. As the Row Had Suggests "Do you remember, my boy," asked the father, kindly but firmly, "that in your studies you suggested that actions spoke louder than words?" "Yes, sir," said the boy with a grin that he did not feel. "Thereby, as I took it, you expressed that you would like to have me express my emotions in some more substantial way." "Yessir." "I have not forgotten that. There is a great deal that is worthy of consideration in that saying. And though you have displeased me greatly today, I will show you what I think. Come with me." And the father led the way to the woodshed. Woman's Culture. It is not the wish of the advocates of the higher culture of woman's powers to withdraw her from her existing spheres of interest and activity, but rather to fit women for the more enlightened performance of their special duties, to help them toward learning how to do better what they have to do, whether as members of society alone or in the higher walks of a mother's or a teacher's duties, or in any of the arts or professions which may be chosen by them.

It is not a college course that takes a woman out of the nur- rying class, but something with which education has rarely anything to do—native traits, or domestic respons- ibilities, or the lack of a calling for narrimony, or accident, or any of thousand things which might have diverted the current of your career, andine without our voluntary compi- ety.—Francis E.

C. 480-406) was one of the celebrated tragic Greek poets who discoursed on music in this wise: "No one has found out how to soothe with music and sweet symphony those bitter pangs by which death and sad misfortune destroy families; and yet to assuage such griefs by music were the music of the Greeks evidently had the power to calm emotions, although neither melodic nor harmonic as the terms are understood today. American Shop in Switzerland American shoe in Switzerland. The American shoe has become permanently established in Switzerland because of its superior style, finish and durability. The special designs and tails affected by some manufacturers, such as extension soles, extreme wide toes, crooked laces and fancy carved uppers are not popular in the Swiss market, however, the demand being for plain, medium-weight shoes with heavy soles. Hint to Housewives A helpful hint to housekeepers, from the Manhattan (Kan.) Mercury: "Charlemagne is said to have had a tablecloth made of asbestos and used to clean it by throwing it into the fire to consume the dirt. The best asbestos cloth to use is fiber and can be spun in a thread until it is 225 yards to the ounce. Why not buy asbestos clothing and do away with family washing?"

"Can't you get the likeness?" "Oh, yes. But I'm doubtful about how far to go. If I don't make it look like him the critics will roast it, and if I do he'll refuse to pay for it."

KEEPING UP TO DATE KEEPING UP TO DATE MOTHER OF BACHELOR MAID HAS COMMON SENSE. Short Talk With. Her College-Educated Girl Beara Fruit, and In Consequence She Still Remains Their Companion. The bachelor maid's friend looked admiringly at the bachelor maid's mother, who, despite her silver hair, seemed to lack nothing of being as thoroughly up to date as her daughter. Later the friend spoke of it. The bachelor maid smiled. "Mother owes that to herself," she said, "and her own good sense. Years ago, when we children were in college, mother said to us, 'Now, don't let me get old-fashioned. I don't wish to be put on a shelf. I wish to keep informed on important subjects and to speak and act correctly. Of course there is constant progress, and you children in school are learning many new things which I, in the home, cannot learn unless you help me. I am helping you to acquire this knowledge, and you must give it back to me. There are constant changes in the pronunciation of words, for instance, in social customs and in methods of doing things which only college young people learn. Don't let me fall behind. I am willing to be told. Don't let me grow rusty. She was so sweet about it that of course it was possible to do what she asked without detracting in any way from what is due her as a mother. In fact, she also said, 'Don't get self-important over it. Don't think you know more than your mother does. You may, in some respects, but in others you will not, so there will always be an even balance. We can help one another if you children keep sensible about it.' "The result is, as you see, that mother is more like a sister to us than she is like an elderly person, who might become tiresome. Mother never is. I know young woman whose mothers are their worst problem, because the mothers assume that they can never learn anything from their children—that it would impair their maternal dignity to have an improvement suggested to them. Those young women have not half so much real respect for their mothers as we have for ours, and it is impossible for them to enjoy and love their mothers as they should, because they are living in two different atmospheres. The mothers bore the young people, and the young people fret the mothers. Our mother keeps step right along with us. because she has been willing to learn in one of the ways which was open to her after some others were closed. "If there is doubt about the pronunciation of a word, for instance, we take it to the dictionary in prayer, just as if mother was no older than the rest of us, and if any of us have been mispronouncing it we change our ways. We keep constantly educating one another, and no one of us has a chance to feel self-important. That has been mother's recipe. I think it is original and unique and you are a witness of its merits." Diogenes. Please Note "Not all the world is dishonest," said the man who had just given somebody an opportunity to be. "I have had several experiences which have revealed a remarkable sense of honesty, even here in New York, where many people seem to think it is known. A few days ago I lost a $2 bill in a small shop where I was buying some supplies, but there was no proof to that effect. In fact, I was not at all sure myself that I had not lost it before entering the shop. However, the dealer promised to keep watch for it and, to my amazement, he returned it to me when I was in there yesterday. Evidently I had dragged it out of my pocket and it had flipped into a corner, where it had lain unnoticed until the jantor had found it when cleaning the premises. It would have been perfectly easy for either the jantor or the proprietor of the shop to have concealed the find, but evidently they hadn't thought of doing such a thing. The perfectly honest, simple and direct action was the only one pursued, and I feel proud to know such men."—New York Press. Made Cranky by Balm Day after day the lover of animals had stopped to pet the baker's horse, which happened to be hitched at a certain corner at the hour when the animal lover passed and the horse apparently appreciated the attention. But one day his mood changed and he snapped viciously. "Well, of all things," exclaimed the animal lover. "He never did that before." "Probably because you never petted him before in rainy weather," said the man who knows a bit about horses. "As you value your ten fingers and general safety of limb, don't get farl far with a horse when he is soaked with rain. No matter how peaceable his disposition, the rain makes him cranky and there is no telling how he will take unsolicited fondling." Japa Building Up Chemul Mining Up Chemulupo. Chemulupo is a treaty port on the west coast of Korea, about twenty-five miles southwest of Seoul.

Science of Human Nature Described The majority of Negro performers, like ignorant members of their race do not understand the science of human nature. This is one reason why Chicago and the South still lingers in the darkness. Every ignorant colored performer thinks that a suggestive word or motion appeals to everybody because ignorant people and degenerates make the house resound with applause. But it's all a mistake. It only causes educators to show these ignorant people by teaching them better. The science of human nature is something that the Negro race, as a majority, knows little about and that is one reason why we have only a low or domestic type of stage lore performers. For the benefit of such actors and people I will give a philosophical example on "The Science of Human Nature" in a nutshell. "Love" and "Passion" are two distinctly different types of character. In all cases of admiration, of opposite or similar sexes, it is above all necessary to first find out whether you are dealing with love or passion. The difference between love and passion is something that Negroes as a majority do not understand. Love is a virtue that is pure. To the one believed it does not seek immorality but seeks to aid that one in happiness and one indication of true love is a desire to be associated with the one object of your affections and often if deprived will cause the two parties to secretly meet or the one party to follow the other around in the day or night to no ill-intent but as a true indication of love. Other true indications are that a person can either be persuaded or rebuked by the one beloved only, where others would have to fight. If a person is sensitive, that person will fall out with the one he or she loves at the least provocation or error of what is right or wrong and then grieve inwardly. Whether normal or abnormal, no person can regulate the love affairs of two individuals safely without a tragedy of the heart or worse and people who are of age should be left alone to solve their own destiny. Of passion there is but little to recommend. It seeks to devour, it's a trick and trade of nature's deception. It is often mistaken for love by people who do not know what love is or what its signs and wonders are. So, beWARE of passion's fate. The excentricities of nature to be found only in great talent, who are brilliant workers and lead useful lives, there are two conclusions. In cases of love they are not only moral in purpose but full of inspiration to the object of their love. In cases of passion they are oftimes dangerous and border on insanity. People are quick to scandalize executive people through jealousy or envy or aim to injure them personally or hamper them in their work. But whatever of genius these people contain comes as a message from God, and those among them who are mentally strong and prove their high standard of qualities by years of honorable service are numbered among the good. So the cry of immorality which comes from ignorant people who hear rumors is often false, especially among the Negro race where the lowest of its people are quickest to speak ill of the best. Harry Kraton and Company Create a Furore at the Grand. Manager Duke Brennon came forward completely in presenting a good show at the New Grand Monday evening. The star attraction of the program was Harry Kraton, the trans-Atlantic wonder. America's greatest hoop controller assisted by his wife and brother. First in novelty of his act were hoops, a saloon, post office, dancing school, etc. Hoop riders and dancing hoops were sent out from the wings to their several destinations. One feat of Kraton is to throw a bunch of handkerchiefs out on the stage only to be picked up by rolling hoops. The final exchanging of hoops was also sensational. Billy King and Jim Mobley, a young comedian, who made his first appearance in Chicago with Mr. King, proved to be an excellent comedy team and while their work was tediously certain it was laugh provoking to say the least and Billy King's style and songs were decidedly assurable. Among the white acts William Schilling and company in "The Vampire's Fool" was splendidly enacted. Mr. Schilling in a harrowing drunkard scene was most convincing and the other actress and actor whose names should have been on the program, were good. The Bennett Sisters were very good and the Ventriloquist work was deserving of merit. The Rondas trio in bicycle novelties were extremely entertaining. Lucietia Knox Makes a Hit at the Monogram. In spite of a heavy storm the little old Monogram was full as usual at the opening performance. There was a heavy reception when Miss Lucretia Knox, the musical comedy prima donna, made her re-appearance at this house. She was in better voice than on any former occasion and rendered her selections in a more concerted style than ever with good results. Upon demand of a third encore he rendered, "If I Forget," and used considerable enthusiasm. Smith and Jimmie Brown of "ark Nights" fame" appeared in face sketch and their dia- logie was decidedly novel and original. They finished their act by killing time with a music and band parody. Charles and Halen Porter were-two new comers whose work was quite satisfactory. "What's What" was a good song by Mrs. Porter and the comedy work of Mr. Porter was at times very good and the team are good dancers. The Coffees entertained with lullabies and Mexican and Indian songs. The rag-time song in the Mexican scene was out of place but the team worked with zeal, being able assisted by the little perfection orchestra which includes Will Dorsey, Prof. Sweatman and George Reeves, three gentlemen whose presence and music together help to swell the crowds nightly with the entertainers. Manager Martin Klein is again on duty to relieve Mr. Miller, the proprietor, who had worked hard during Klein's vacation. The Phoenix Continues to Draw Well. The young people and those who are impressed with love, romance and innocence, again thronged the theater in large numbers. The programs are changed daily and the new orchestra and illustrated songs were a feature of the entertainment. Manager Henderson Smith informs us that "Ten Dark Knights" opens at Indianapolis for the season August 10th. Kid Langford, second comedian of the Georgia Minstrels, died about seven weeks ago and as his death was not reported in this newspaper it is creditable to the profession to state that he was one of the best comedians in minstrelsy. Drake and Johnson have arrived in the city from Oklahoma City where they appeared at the Dixon theater. Miss Essie Johnson hails from Kansas City, Mo. Creighton Thompson has left the city for New York to join Alda Overton Walker's act which she has augmented for the big time. A new association, rumor has it, has been started by the White Rats to be known as the Colored Actors' Association. Johnson & Wells are new members but I advise all the best class of actors to stick to the C. V. B. A. Harry Kraton leaves for New York to start for Vienna directly after his engagement at the New Grand. He may not return to America, but live in the old country. Black & Jones, Henderson Smith and others are members of a British Actors' Association, to which Kraton belongs. The Kentucky Trio consists of John M. Hutchins, the Maybrooks, Wilson & Cumby write, that the actors booked up solid to March. They are at present at the Orpheum, Boston, Mass. Chris Smith and Billy P. Johnson are at the Congress Cafe Theater. They are being booked over the big time as a trio, including Mrs. Johnson. Clarence Powell and Billy King are being booked over the big time for next season at the highest salary in vaudeville. Mr. Powell, it is expected, will close with the Georgia Minstrels to join Mr. King in Chicago. Sedgwick R. Johnson, who composed the Coronation waltzes, dedicated them to King George. He has received a letter from the King at Buckingham palace, through his private secretary, stating that His Majesty cannot lawfully accept the compliment. George Reeves has written a waltz for the piano which Lawrence Heard of the Huggs & Heard Music Company, will set to music. I phoned Mr. Heard to inquire if the song is ready for publication, whereupon Mr. Heard replied that the song will be ready just as soon as Mr. Reeves gets a new inspiration. It is now understood that a memorial performance in memory of the late Robert T. Motts will be held at the Pekin Theater Sunday, August 13th. Henry Jones and Dan Jackson, with Sam Corker, Jr., as secretary, have the affair in charge. The program will include orations by citizens and a big program. The proceeds will be for the moulding of a bronze bust, life size tablet, to be embedded into the walls of the theater. Our Boston, Philadelphia and New Jersey friends will please bear in mind that the C. V. B. A. cares for their sick and buries their dead everywhere. So, please turn out in large numbers to the Manhattan Casino, New York City, next Thursday evening, August 10th. Powerful Cosmic Process. "Let us understand, once for all, that the ethical progress of society depends, not on imitating the cosmic process, still less in running away from it, but in combating it. The cosmic process born with us and, to a large extent, necessary for our maintenance, is the outcome of millions of years of severe training, and it would be folly to imagine that a few centuries will suffice to subdue its masterfulues to purely ethical ends. Ethical nature may count upon having to reckon with a tenacious and powerful enemy as long as the world lasts."—Huxley. Encouraging His Appetite When I have any difficulty in getting my boy of three and a half years to eat his food at the table we start a little game. We name each bite for a member of the family or for a little playmate or some place he has been, and it is surprising what an amount he will eat and enjoy.—Harper's Bazar. For Mending Enamelware To mend a hole which has been made in an enamel pan the following is very effective: Take equal parts sifted coal and sifted table salt, mix qether and pack into the hole. Place the pan on the stove with a little water in it until the cement hardens. It will soon become as hard as the enamel itself.

She wore a white dress wrapping her whole person and a white nerk, which she never removed, and excited much interest and curiosity."—London Chronicle. What He Was Doing. As the Wellmer family were returning from a trip a tire burst and something went wrong with the car. Of course, Papa Wellmer had to fix it. He said a few things to himself and then proceeded to crawl under the machine. As he was tinkering with it a man, evidently from Egg Harbor, walked by and, of course, stopped to find out the trouble. "Fixin' the machine, eh?" he said, stooping down. "Nope," said Wellmer, in murmured tones, "just taking a course by mail on raising chickens."

When Lawrence Burrott's daughter was married Stuart Robson sent a check for $5,000 to the bridegroom. The comedian's daughter, Felicia Robson, who attended the wedding, conveyed the gift: "Felicia," said her father upon her return. "did you give him the check?" "Yes, father," answered the daughter. "What did he say?" asked Robson. "He didn't say anything, replied Miss Felicia, "but he shed tears." "How long did not cry?" "Why, father, I didn't time him, I should say, however, that he wellly a minute." "Fully a minute," mused Robson. "Why, daughter, I cried an hour after I signed it." Good Work of Wireless Throughout the world there is a shipwreck about every sixteen hours, and the general adoption of the wireless system of communication promises to cut this rate down very materially. It is estimated that the system has already been the means of saving marine property valued at $12,000,000, and of saving nearly six thousand lives.—Philadelphia Record. Chinese Rice Production. One Chinaman in every four has never tasted rice; over 200,000,000 bushels—a third of the bumper crop of the United States—is raised yearly in the yellow empire; 40 bushels to the acre—several times the American yield—is forced from the soil by the tolling Chinaman.

Won by Rube Foster's American Giants—Lefland's Chicago Giants Forced to Bow to Superior and All- Around Playing of Foster's Tour- ists. The last half of the big show started Saturday, July 29, at Schorling's park. Fosters men won Saturday's game 1 to 0. Dougherty pitching for the Americans and the old reliable Ball pitching for Chicago Giants. It was a great pitcher's battle, with Dougherty having the shade, pitching his best game of the season, letting the Chicago Giants down with 4 hits and striking out 9 men. The Chicago Giants having lost Saturday's contest went after Sunday's game with a vim but fell down with a flop. Wickware, wild at times as a Kansas jack rabbit, was practically invincible, and had the little Giants feeding from his hand, striking out the heavy hitting Pettus four times. Gatewood, pitching for Chicago Giants, pitched good ball, but bobbles at the wrong time proved his undoing. The Chicago Giants were first to score, getting 3 in the second. Johnson walked, Hutchinson jugged Barber's grounder and everybody was safe. Moore sacrificed. Wickware, not taking any chances, walked Gatewood, filling the sacks. Barton walked, forcing in Johnson. Greene struck out, but Parks came through with a two bagger, scoring Moore and Gatewood. Winston ended things by striking out. The cyclone tamers got busy and evened up matters in their half of the third, scoring 3 runs. Duncan was safe on Moore's error. Pryor doubled. Hill and Monroe were easy outs. Jap Payne doubled, Duncan scoring. Barber fell asleep at third dreaming of the old folks, and when he awoke Winston was chasing the horsehide out in left field where Pettus had thrown it trying to nip Pryor. Grant struck out. With the score tied Wickware tightened up and not another Chicago Giant scored. The Blizzards got 1 in the fourth. Petway singled and stole second. Hutchinson singled. Wickware moved them up a bit with a neat sacrifice and Petway, taking a long chance, scored on a short pass ball. Duncan struct out and Pryor filed out. To make the game safe the cyclone tamers got two more in the fifth. Hill singled. Monroe safe on Johnson's error. Payne sacrificed. Grant singled, scoring Hill and Monroe. Gatewood held them safe the rest of the way the game ending with the score 6 to 3 in favor of the American Giants, being hailed as the champions. Maybe class told. You never can tell. Diamond Clippings. Hutchinson's fielding was one of the features of the game. Wickware got better as the game progressed. Ball took Green's place but failed to deliver the hit for once. Wickware had Home Run Petttus number, striking him out four times. Dad Johnson plays with as much pop as a few seasons ago. The Chicago Giants infield looks as strong as any on the semi-pro circuit. Foster on the bench told Wickware no matter how wild to never let up on speed. Ball seems to improve each time he pitches. Grace Team. The Grace team pushed the fast Second United Presbyterian nine lower in the mire of the bottom part of the Presbyterian Brotherhood Baseball league last Saturday, winning by a score of 5 to 3. Tim Reeves made his debut with the winners and with the exception of the fourth inning twirled fine ball. The game was featured by almost perfect play by both teams. Grace and Quinn Chapel baseball clubs will play their second game of the season together Saturday afternoon, August 5, at Washington Park. Bethel will play the Grace team Saturday, August 12. The Explanation. A man who had been brought up in a country village, but who had moved to the city, was visiting the scenes of his childhood. He happened to meet a boy who was considered to be a little "off," and thought that there was a good chance to find out from him about the people he used to know. Among others, he chanced to mention the name of an old schoolmate. "Why," said the boy, "he has been married seven years and has 12 children!" "Twelve children!" exclaimed the man. "How does that come?" "Ob," said the boy, "they had three to once, two to twice, and one a good many times."

I know a mother of a large family of children who has never whipped but one of them, and that one only once, declared Orlison Swett Marden in Success Magazine. When her first child was born people said she was too good-natured to bring up children; that she would spoil them, as she would not correct or discipline them; and would do nothing but love them. But this love has proved the great magnet which has held the family together in a marvelous way. None of these children have gone astray. They have all grown up to be manly and womanly, and love has been wonderfully developed in their natures. Their own affection responded to the mother's love and has become their strongest motive. Today all her children look upon "mother" as the graudest figure in the world. She has brought out the best in them, because she saw the best in them. The worst did not need correcting or repressing, for the best neutralized it. Keep the Children Busy. about the home. It trains them to be useful, not awkward in later and more important affairs; it gives them occupation while they are small and it guards against selfish, idle, unhappy members of an older society. Occupation makes happiness, and occupation cannot be acquired too young.

Once Pawned His. The first English king who wore a crown was Alfred, A. D. 871. Long prior to that date we know that a crown was worn by the Roman king, Tarquin. And in the Bible it is told how the Amalekites brought Saul's crown to David. But the early crowns were not as they are now. At first merely a fleet of cloth was used, then a garland, and later on, cloth adorned with pearls. The popes gradually developed this emblem of kingship, and in A. D. 928 Attleastan, king of England, wore a modern earl's coronet. In 1065 William the Conqueror added a coronet with pearls, to his ducal cap. The crosses on the crown of England were introduced by Richard III, and the "arches" were added by Henry VIII in 1485. Richard II, as most people know, wag at one time in such a needy condition that he pawned his crown and regina to the city of London for $10, 100. Cut of the hands of pain and suffering; more gifts have come to men than from any other source.

For fifteen years the res fdents of this clty have sought to Penetrate the atmosphere of uncer tainty that always surrounds — the premises, but all In vain. The cur talus are always down, no one ap Pears fo take any interest in the fu ture eceupation and the identity ol the builder or owner remains a secret to this day. There may be materlal where for a Sherlock Holmes or per ‘haps a Dickens, and some day, when the story becomes public, there may be abundant food for the gossips. For the present, those who knew, Keep their counsel and whether they will ever satisfy the ingulsitive pub- Ue, or not, Is a matter for speculs- tion, It was fifteen years ago that the “mystery house” sprang Into belng at Chrisman.. One spring morning, exca- Yators and bricklayers appeared upon ‘the scene and prepared a cellar and foundation walls for a house. Carpon- tera followed and later came decora- tors and furnishers. Every workman was pledged to secrecy and would glve the curious villagers no bint of the owner: Crowds would stand around as the mechanics wielded their hammers and saws and fashioned the Sem Lee: —— The “Hor ise of Mystery.” structire into shape, hoping that some cle could be secured concerning the v@ider, — Bagerly they awalted the completion of the straeture, belng con- fident that some one would take up their residénee there and thus put an end to the speculation, It was the general bellet that the builder planned the home for a bride and that a wedding would follow the completion of the structure. With the departure of the carpen- ters and decorators, came the furnish- ers. Expense was not spared to fit up the home in palatial style, ‘The rugs were Oriental; the curtains im- ported; the china of the highest grade and everything was sumptuous and artistic. Neither money nor time was spared to secure handsome and com: fortable results. From parlor to kitchen, from garret to cellar, the house was completed In every detall. ‘The whole was enough to make 4 woman gasp with delight and admira- tion. ‘There was nothing lacking but occupants. Strange to relate, they never came. With the completion of the beautt- fully furnished home, the shades were Aropped, the keys were turned in the lock and the house commenced “ita long career of idleness. As the years went by, the lawn was Ulmmed, the skade trees given attention, the ex- tevlor and interior painted as made necessary, and everything Kept in shape as if the occupants might arrive ang day. With the tight of the years, the people of Chrisman fixed the owner- skip upon one or the other of two wellto-do young bachelors, but they would never confirm an interrogation, It was the general opinion that they had charge of the building and occa- sional attention and that some day, ove or the other would marry and bring a bride co the vacant home, but the wedding bells were still and the bride came not. Four years ago some misereant made an attempt to destroy the house dy fire and heavy loss was inflicted. ‘Tho mechanies came promptly and re- built the damaged section and re- placed everything. Within a few weeks, all marks of the fre was erased. . To add to the mystery, a number of attempts have been made to purchase the house and some have sought to rent it, but all without avail. Set amidst’ the dark green follage of the surrounding trees, the wide windows Seem to stare back enigmatically at the people as they pass by and gazo curfously at the curtained windows shading this inanimate thing of mys- tery which baffles solution. “Mummy” Wheat Swindle Kansas City, Mo—Numerous ferm- ers in Western Sfissouri and Eastern Kansas have been swindled by men who last spring sold them smail quant tes of what they called “mummy” wheat, taken from old Egyptian tonibs and said to be vastly superior in qual- ty and yleld to the Turkey red wheat uoually grown. ‘The swindlors pumported ‘that there was only a small quantlty of the wheat ani they sold {t for as much as $6 a ‘pin. ‘This quantity, they sald, would iproduce enough tho second year to seed a quarter spctlon, which would jyleld trom 60 to 76 bushels to the acre ‘and would gradé higher than’ the.cons jmon hard wheat. i.

The real founder 1s the Rev. J. W. Michaels of Loulsville, Ky., who ts still the pas. tor, although he can make only four visits a year to his voiceless flock. ‘Tho bullding, a neat and substantial structure, was bullt solely by deat mutes. The pulplt was carved by the Sunday school superintendent, G. W. Sheppard, who is a skilled woodwork. man. ‘There ts no church debt, None of the members {5 wealthy, and the con- gregation has lad a hard struggle. But ft has won because the members are very proud of having the only deat mute church in the United States and are correspondingly loyal. ‘The church 1s interdenomtnational.

Af a convert is conscientiously op- posed to immenston, he does not hest- tate to use the sprinkling or pouring method of baptism. Because of the long lapses between the visits of the pastor, a large part of the mfuisterfal duties fall upon the Sunday school superintendent, ‘The service begins when Supt.

With the record before him, the superintendent, by stgns, calls’ off the name of each momber, and vach person present responds in the same fashton. ‘The Apostles’ Croed is reclted in unison, ‘The uniformity of gestures 4s not the result of caroful drilling, but comes as naturally to the worship: Pers as speech to the average person. Supt. Sheppard then delivers a short sermon, taking the Sunday school text for the day for bis subject. He {s known as an “eloquent man” by the members of the silent congregation, His delivery bas an earnestness that impresses even those who cannot un- derstand bis signs. At times he “talks” rapidly, his faclle fingers, accompanied by’ full arm gestures, working with a speed | that taxes the attention of his audi- ence.

WHY CELEBRITIES ARE FEW Their Absence Permits the Imitation Swells to Shake Hands in a Sane Manner. "Even if I didn't read the newspapers I would know that there are not many strange celebrities in town now," said the young man with strong social instincts. "I could tell by the way the imitation swells shake hands. Everybody shakes hands now in a safe and sane manner. Not for weeks have my fingers been tweaked in freakish fashion. That is because the shakers have met no one to set a bad example. "Peculiarities in a handshake are more contagious than fads in accent or clothes. Nearly every person of importance has his own way of grasping another's hand, and the small fry who ape their big brothers in everything else might soon copy that shake. In the busy social season when the big guns come and go pretty frequently the person of imitative habits will shake hands in a dozen different ways in as many weeks."

Besieged by the eager correspondents the manager protested that there was nothing doing—that he had not signed any new player or players; that he hadn't talked trades—and that he hadn't accomplished anything at all, at all. "What did you do on your trip?" the writer asked Clarke. "Nothing," was the smiling rejoinder. "Did you uncover any plenoms?" "Not any, but I did learn one thing." "Why, to appreciate the players we not treat. Say for me these men, person or persons." Greased Ball The visiting teacher earthed that old st being greased on There is a soil o that makes the bat it is applied, and Cardinals and Pipe McGraw of having "CHICK" FRASER IS ALL IN Former National Leaguer Is Released Unconditionally by New Orleans Club of Southern. The New Orleans Southern league club today announced the sale of Outfielder Barr to the Cleveland club. Barr will not report to Cleveland un- 5 "Chick" Fraser. til the end of the season. The New Orleans manager also gave Pitcher "Chick" Fraser, the former National leaguer, his unconditional release. Dolly Gray's Three-Bagger Some of the pinch hitters are like Dolly Gray of Washington. The first year Gray was in fast company, Cantillon sent the tall pitcher up as a pinch hitter every time one was needed and Gray religiously fanned, accumulating a batting average of something like .007 in April, May and June. When a scribe asked Cantillon one afternoon why he persistently sent up Gray, Joe indignantly responded: "Great guns, man, you ought to have seen the three-bagger that fellow hit when we were playing Galveston March 22." Stating it Plainly. Some one suggested to an Illinois member of congress in Washington that politics is getting very much mixed up. "The condition," replied the Illinois man, "is what we call back home in statu quo." Not in the accepted meaning of the term, but in the meaning given it by W. E. Trautmann of East St. Louis when he was a member of the legislature. He had a constituent who was deeply interested in a bill that didn't have a chance. Meeting Trautmann one day the con- "What was that?" "Why, to appreciate more than ever the players we now have under contract. Say for me that we do appreciate these men, no matter what any person or persons say." Greased Ball In New York The visiting teams have again unearthed that old story about the balls being greased on the Polo grounds. There is a soil over in New Jersey that makes the ball feel greasy when it is applied, and that is what the Cardinals and Pirates are accusing McGraw of having around the pitcher's box. AROUND THE BASES Tigers so far show no signs of slowing up in their pace. Too many managers seem to cause dissatisfaction in Beantown. The fighting spirit of the White Sox is always present this season. The expected slump of the "Tygers" seems indefinitely postponed. Vic Saler has improved a hundred per cent under Chance's tutelage. Egan shows them that the old man has not gone back so far as they thought. In the days of the slugging baseball teams five hits make it look like an air tight game. Milan, the Washington outfielder, is considered Cobb's only rival in hitting this year by some critics. The best way to become a great ball player seems to lie in avoiding all the advice of "inside ball" experts. The Highlanders are to get Third Baseman Dolan from the Jersey City club at the end of the Eastern league season. Tony Smith, who was called in by Brooklyn when Dolly Stark was crippled, and Bert Tooley went wrong, has been released to Toledo. Jakey Atz's success with Providence was a flash only. "There does not seem to be any hope for the Grays," mourns a Providence writer. Fred Clarke of the Pirates has decided that kicking on the decisions of umpires does not pay, and has ordered his players to stop it also. President Murphy admits he made a bad play when he let Ludus slip away. He has one consolation—there are many others in the same boat. Roy Thomas, the veteran outfielder, is trying hard for a base on balls every time he comes up to bat. He is making the pitchers put them over to him. Ted Sullivan is making a tour of the east. He has been after John I. Taylor to take the Red Sox to Tlioga, Texas, to train next spring. Ted is a good booster for the Lone Star state The combination of Irish and Germans on a ball team seems to be the right one for a winner. The Cubs have the mixture and the Phillies are also made up of the Celtic and Teuton races. Owner Grayson of Louisville protested, it is said, because St. Paul gave Catcher Spencer his unconditional release without first asking him if he wanted to buy the player. That's a new one.

SOME UTILITY BALL SSERS Manager Fred Tenney of the Boston Nationals, Tells of Some Remarkable All-Round Players. "Just as a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, so a ball club is only as strong as its substitutes," says Fred Tenney, manager of the Boston Nationals. "Therefore, it will be just as necessary to use a careful discrimination in the choice of substitutes as in the selection of the regular men. A few years ago, when baseball was in its infancy, the players could nearly all play the different positions. Today there are comparatively few who can do this. "This is the age of specialization, and nowhere is it more aptly illustrated than on the ball field. Men train themselves for perfection in one position, disregarding all others. Occasionally a man appears who seems able to accommodate himself to any change of position. "Such a man was Shoch, of the old Brooklyn club. Jimmy Stafford was another player almost a replica of Shoch. When in New York he was played in about every position in the field. Lowe, of Boston, was one of those baseball phenomenons who could play any position on the team in first-class style. Starting as a catcher, then going to the outfield, he made a great record in the minor leagues. Coming to Boston in 1890 as utility man, he was soon played regularly on account of his heavy batting. He was shifted to second base when Quinn was sold. Here he became one of the greatest in the business. His last year in Boston found him a guardian of third base. Again he ranked with the foremost. While Lowe was at home anywhere, he could not be used as a utility man, as he was far too strong a regular. During the last few years of playing he was used in the utility role with marked success. His work in that capacity helped Detroit to win many a game. "Strang was one of the bright lights of the utility men. He reverted to the Shoch-Stafford type, never good as a regular, but excellent as an occasional player. Wagner, like Lowe, can play anywhere with marked success. Indeed he has filled nearly all positions for his club, but his is another case of being too valuable as a regular to permit of using him as utility man. Undoubtedly he would shine as such, and when he begins to slow down will probably be used in that capacity. Chicago for many years kept Hofman as utility man, even after he had demonstrated how strong a player he really was. New York now has a young fellow who will bear lots of watching lest he wrest the laurels from other utility players. I refer to Fletcher, who, in the short time he has been in the league, has made very rapid strides toward the ton. Of all these men I would select Lowe as the first substitute, with Hoffman as a close second choice. "As an all-star, all-time National league club I should pick the following line-up: Hamilton, center field; Keeler, right field; McCarthy, left field; Wagner, shortstop; Chance, first base; Collins, third base; Evers, second base; Bennett, Kling, Bresnahan, catchers; Mathewson, Brown, Nichols, Phillipi, McGinnity, pitchers; Lowe, Hoffman, subs.

Sunday Baseball Uplift Sunday baseball by professional teams is distinctly a helpful moral force, according to Chief of Police Cowles of New Haven, Conn. In reply to a demand from church organizations that he suppress the Sunday games at Lighthouse Point in the suburbs, Chief Cowles says: "Sunday baseball by professionals will continue at Lighthouse Point so long as the game is conducted in an orderly manner, because it draws young men from the streets and lessens the number of arrests for drunkenness and disorder. Many young men are attracted to the shore by the Sunday games who would otherwise loiter on street corners, and from my own personal observation I know it lowers the number of cases in the courts Monday."

He had asked her father for her hand and been duly accepted. Naturally he was inclined to be jubilant, the girl being pretty and the father reputed rich. "Oh, well," said the latter presently, as he carefully inspected the clear Havana the youth handed him, "you needn't be so unduly puffed up over it. You're the sixteenth yqungster I have accepted for a son-in-law this year and I expect two more tomorrow." "Wh-hy, what does this mean?" stammered the youth. "It means," replied the shocking old poppy, "amusement for the girl and cigars for me." Worthy of a Trial "Have you ever supported Booth?" asked the manager.

Phone Aldine 566 What the Mothers Thought In the surge of people at the tea given for the girl who was about to be married the mother of the bride-elect and the mother of the bridegroom found themselves in a cozy corner and settled down together with their plates of salad and cups of tea. "I've been so busy," began the mother of the bride, "since the engagement was announced that I've scarcely seen you! Nobody knows what it means to get a daughter ready to be married! I almost envy you!" "I don't know why," said the mother of the bridegroom in slightly injured tones. "Just because I don't have to embroider a pile of table linen and match samples is no sign I've nothing to do! Why, John is at me every minute about hosley and the latest ideas in haberdashery and whether mahogany is preferable to mission—" "Well, as to that," interrupted the bride's mother, "I think he ought to take Gertrude's advice, since it is to be her furniture!" "I suppose," said John's mother, "that he naturally thinks I know best, having had more experience than Gertrude! When I was a girl I was taught useful things about cooking and sewing and marketing instead of passing my time at bridge and running about!" "Well," said the bride's mother, "I have tried to bring up Gertrude with ideas about mere domestic details, and I must say that I expected she'd marry a man who could take care of her properly! What the child is going to do with only one servant I don't know! "Oh, she's cheerful enough about it, but to think of her having to answer the doorbell herself is just dreadful—especially when she needn't have done it! I don't like to boast, but you're in the family now, and I will say that Gertrude could have married a man worth half a million if she had any sense—that is, of course, John is all right and I like him." The bridegroom's mother set down her teacup. "I want to tell you now," she said heatedly, "that Gertrude is a mighty lucky young woman to get John! Any girl might thank her stars if he chose her for a wife! There isn't a better looking, smarter boy in the whole United States. As for his disposition—well, many's the time I've said to his father, 'Henry, we'll never raise that child, for he's too sweet tempered!' I used to cry about it sometimes! Maybe it's a good thing that he has such a wonderful disposition, since he's marrying Gertrude, for these modern girls that have been spoiled are hard to get along with." "Gertrude hard to get along with!" cried her mother. "Well, if you knew how; she has to humor John and give in to him you'd think the shoe was on the other foot! My child has a perfectly angelic nature! I've said to her many and many a time, 'Gertrude, whatever you do, don't be a doormat! It's all right at first, but I'm not going to see you a downtrodden, abused, neglected, suffering wife!" "My heart aches for her when I consider all that she will have to give up that she has been accustomed to! Gertrude is delicate and it's going to be a great hardship for her to get up at eight o'clock for breakfast." "Hardship! echoed John's mother, indignantly. "Well, all I've got to say is that any girl who isn't glad and thankful that she's got John to eat breakfast with is—is—" "Why on earth my poor misguided child ever wanted to marry into your family is beyond me!" cried the bride's mother. "When she had a dozen other chances it seems as though she must have been blind or hypnotized! She's John's superior in every way, though, of course, he has, done surprisingly well, considering all the adverse influences with which he has always been surrounded. I don't suppose he'll ever appreciate all Gertrude is sacrificing in marrying him. Gertrude is the sweetest, prettiest—" "There were a half dozen other girls crazy about John," said his mother. "And he could have married any girl he wanted, and I told him so, and it seems queer that he should have, picked out one the least suited to him. Gertrude is a very nice girl, I know, but she isn't calculated to understand the noble qualities of John's character. And he is so generous he'll bury his disappointment and act as if he was perfectly happy! But his mother will see through it all, poor boy!" "There they are now," said the bride's mother. "Poor Gertrude! She looks so foolishly — happy!" "My poor boy!" murmured John's mother, craning her neck. "He does seem absurdly cheerful!" A woman's idea of economy is to be able to remember what she spent her money for. AM A B Lag SE, SS Sie, a og WEDS, Ue BAS leer tt , Re PS, eS ) gee?

In his article he tells us that the cliff swallows which nest in Nova Scotia leave tho Gulf coast’of Mexico about March 10 and arrive. at their destination two months later, on May 10. Most of the birds that spend the winter in Central or South America, he says, take the direct route across the gulf instead of Bolng via Texas or by way of Florida, Cube or Yucatan, and this aerlal jour- ney means a single flight of from 600 to 700 miles with no allghting place.

Attention has been called to tho fact that orientals are coming largely into the field of hotel work and are being used as porters in railroad em. ploy. Heretofore Japanese and Chi- nese have been employed as cooks in hotels and cafes or engaged as serv- ants in private homes. In the west they now fill every capacity in the labor world.

July 4—Editor Hotel World: We ‘note with mucl Tegret a recent ruling by @ proprietor of a very prominent hotel in Okla. homa forbidding the receiving of “tips” by its Waiters. In the first place, this action is unwarranted be: cause of the fact that njnety per cent of hotel guests prefer! to give tips, and the practice of receiving tips is seldom, if ever, abused by a waiter In the second place it can never be enforced; because of its being a cus: tom of so long standing, and the fact of its being mutually profitable and agreeable to the giver and the re: ceiver. It matters not how Well man- aged a hotel may be, or how closely the waiters are watched, unless the guests make their duty a pleasant one, it is an impossibility to force walt ers to give at all times the same quick and cleanly service as they give to those whom it is a pleasure to them to wait upon, Besides, as a general rule, the waiters: are’ under- paid, and the small favors he receives at the hands of the guest is much needed and very thankfully and ap- preciatingly received. But we are not surprised at afore- said Oklahoma hotel proprietor, as he is given to other freaks equally as silly. After having made his success and money off the Inbor of the south- ern walter,-when he founded the great hostelry in Oklahoma, the southern waiter was no longer good enough and he proceeded to order a crew from New York. However, he soon found out the up-to-date New Yorker wasn't what he expected to find him, and he has gladly “returned to his first love,” the southera waiter. Of course, we do not attempt to jus- tity the actions of a waiter who will deliberately show that he is working solely for a tlp—such as is noticeable in the movements of a “globe trotter" who sometimes “slips into” a first class place unawares—but we do feel disposed to raise our voice in defense of the reputable servant, whose in- terest is, that of his employer, and who is ever alert to the interest in which he is engaged. The colored walter, as a rule, is the most active and obliging of all servants, arid con- sequently naturally reeelves more no- tice as well as tips from the apprecia- tive guests. But it. is a well known fact that the head’ waiters and cap- tans are ever watchful to see that a guest {s never taken advantage of, and the discourteous waiter who would show by any. move or undue act that he expects a tip does not re- main very long in the employ of a first class place. Were this not true, such men as Homer Wilson of the Marion of Little Rock, J. F. Letton of the Galvez of Galveston, Dean of the Hotel Baltimore, Kansas City, and Miller of the Hotel Rome ot Omaha, Neb., and L. P. Parker of the Gayoso and Peabody, Memphis, who in the aggregate handle more colored walt- ers than any other seven hotels in America, would not remain quiet on this subject so long. They seem to be satisfied with the tip system, and they know what they are about. Long live stich men, and their principles after them!—Will H.

Tt was Goethe who sald: “Life {sa quarry.” He does not mean the life outside of yourself. He means’ your own life, that separate part of God's universe over which he has set you as supreme master, king to rule the dominion. Goethe says that this life, your own life, bis life, everybody's life, is a quarry. A quarry {8 a place where stone is gotten. The value of a quarry fs always in the quality of its stone. Now life, if it be a quarry, is simply a place containing a something that is valued, unformed but’ witb skill may be wrought hiito what ts val- uable. The stone from the quarry {s chiselled Into form. A greater value comes trom the chiselling of this stone. Michael Angelo’s “Moses” 1s witness of what‘a great artist may do with a chisel upon a block of marble. Really, then, If your own life Is a quarry, you yourself must be the art- ist, and out’ of the material of the quarry you are going to make what {s deautiful and worthtul to the world. Let me complete the entire quotation: “Life 1s a quarry out of which we are to mould and chisel and complete a character.”—John ‘T. McFarland.

One of the strangest possible com- mercial frauds has recently been ex posed by an Inspector of the Pennsyl vanta food bureau, His attention was struck by the rich red color of some smoked fish that was on sale in the “delicatessen” stores of Philadelphia.

Uses for Cotton Waste. Watch a man facing the problem of grease, with his motor. He has one unfailing remedy—cotton waste. If the machine needs cleaning, he produces his bunch of waste; if the oil is dripping to the floor, a handful of waste removes it. If his hands are greasy, he doesn't use a good towel, and then try to wash it; he uses cotton waste and burns it when it will absorb no more. If women who do their own work would go to the nearest hardware store and buy this expensive cotton waste, they would find their labors much lessened. The saucepan, or the greasy frying pan, if wiped with the waste soon after being taken from the stove, will need nothing more than rinsing. And dishwashing would be made easy if all greasy and sticky dishes were wiped off with the waste before being washed.—Good housekeeping. Here's to laughter! The sunshine of the soul, the happiness of the heart, the heaven of youth, the privilege of purity, the echo of innocence, the treasure of the humble, the wealth of the poor, the head on the cup of pleasure; it dispels dejection, banishes blues and mangles melancholy, for it is the foe of woe, the destroyer of depression, the enemy of grief; it is why kings envy pensants, plutocrats the poor, the guilty the innocent; it is the sheen on the silver of smiles, the ripple on the waters of delight, the glint on the gold of gladness. Without it humor would be dumb, wit would wither, dimples would disappear and smiles would shrivel, for it's the glow of a clean conscience, the voice of a pure soul, the birth cry of mirth, the swan song of sadness. Laugher! Cook Without Pans A missionary in an account of life in the South Pacific says: "The problem of cooking without pots or pans is already proved. The natives of the South Pacific cook their food in a bole in the ground, a wood fire being made at the bottom and covered with stones. On these the food is placed, wrapped in leaves, and the whole covered with earth. The result is delicious. When cooked the food is served on leaves, thus doing away with the necessity of crockery. I lived in the South Sea islands without crockery, cutlery, chairs, tables or beds." Good Snake Story. This story is told of the late Dr. Emil Reich. One day while traveling he lay down to rest in the shadow of a bush and fell asleep.. He awoke with a start to find that night was coming on and that rain had begun to fall. Quickly snatch up his umbrella, he tried to open it and, finding it worked stiffly, he pressed the spring vigorously. Suddenly there was a sound of ripping and tearing and a snake fell to the ground split in two. The reptile had apparently swallowed the umbrella so far as it could!—Exchange. Sounds Varning. "If the duties of lawmaking and interpreting the laws are pushed upon the people of this country, one-man rule will inevitably result. The community is bound to center its confidence in certain men who represent their sentiments at the time.

It is the very reverse of the representative government upon which this "epublic guilt"—Jacob G. Schurman. Inadequate.

Going Away Mrs. Minton was dusting her best cut glass bowl—the Browning club's wedding gift to her—when a bird alighted on the window sill and sang its sweet song. At the same moment, a girl walked past wearing a bunch of sweet peas in her belt. Instantly Mrs. Minton realized that she was homesick for the garden and the birds that had been hers every year of her life until this year, and she decided she would go see the garden and the birds and the dear own people she had not seen since her wedding day. In the course of the day Mrs. Milton wavered several times in her intention, thinking of her husband; who would care for Jack during her absence? She found herself wiping a tear away at the vision she conjured up of her husband coming into the silent apartment to spend interminable, lonely evenings without her. Still, she could talk to him on the long distance telephone and she would only stay away two days at the most. When Minton came home to dinner, his wife bronched the subject that had been uppermost in her heart all day. "Go by all means," Minton answered cheerfully. "I've been surprised that you've stuck it out as long as you have, Bess. It must be lonesome for you here. At home, there was always one or another dropping in to see you. When will you go?" "But you will be lonely without me, dear," Mrs. Minton said tremulously, looking across the table with sweet, troubled eyes. "Not a bit of it," Minton said reassuringly. "I'll look up some of my old friends that I haven't seen since I was married." There was a moment's silence, then Mrs. Minton said slowly: "I've heard people joke about husbands being anxious to have their wives go away so they might have a good time, but I'm not in the least jealous of you, Jack, I made up my mind when we were married that I never, never would be jealous. While I'm away, I want you to go around and have a perfectly splendid time. You know I'm a woman of my word, and I mean what I say when I tell you I'm not jealous. You must go and see all your old friends, and the more you enjoy yourself the less regret I shall feel at leaving you alone." "I'll have a great time," Minton laughed. "But don't look so tragic about it, Bess. Maybe I'll go out and maybe I'll stay at home. Whichever I do, you can be certain I'm thinking of you and wishing you back; yet, at the same time, hoping that you'll stay as long as you feel like it, and that you are enjoying yourself." This loverlike speech caused Mrs. Minton to take heart. The next day, before she left home, she planned a tender little note on her husband's pillow, inserted a second in the book he was reading and slipped a third into the pocket of his house coat. Then she buried her face for a moment in the coat, and with one last, lingering look, left the house. When seated in the elevated train her attention was attracted in two women who took seats near her The elder, a woman in tan, observed as she sank into the seat nearest the window: "Dick called up before I left home. He's going to bring Jack Minton to dinner tonight. Mrs. Minton has gone home to see her folks. I never met her—I was out of town when she gave her 'at home'—but I have my opinion of a new wife who will forsake her husband so soon after their wedding." "Poor little thing! It's the most natural thing in the world for her to want to run home and see her mother," laughed the other. "She must be lonely here in the city." "Jack won't be lonely while she's away," the other said. "Phyllis Bartlett is visiting next door, and she's coming to dine with us tonight. Jack used to be awfully attentive to Phyllis, and she thinks he's about the—" Mrs. Minton felt that she could listen to no more. When the train stopped she grabbed her valise and rushed out. Minton dined with his friends that evening, escorted his old sweetheart home, and then went on his way wondering why every other woman seemed so unattractive compared with his wife. He let himself into the apartment with his latchkey, turned on the electric light and gasped at sight of a crumpled up little figure asleep on the lounge. In a moment, he was beside his wife. "Bess, wake up! What's the matter? Are you slick?" Mrs. Minton opened two heavy, tear stained eyes. "I'm glad you've come, Jack," she said. "Have you had a good time?" "First class. But what—" "With old friends?" Jack nodded his head. "But what—" "Not any one you could ever care for more than you do for me?" "Of course not, Bess. But what a foolish question to ask me! It almost sounds as if you were jeal—" "Now, you are foolish, dear, after my telling you that I never, never would be jealous. It was just that I—I couldn't bear to leave you alone, Jack." Infant Mortality Large. The infant mortality of London is 154 per 1,000 births a year. HATS FOR YOUNGSTERS FENDENCY TOWARD MUSHROOM SHAPE PREVAILS THIS SEASON. Nothing Else Stays So Comfortably on Small Head or Forms Such Becoming Shade to Little Face—Directions for Making. All through the spring and early summer children will be wearing hats which tend distinctly towards the mushroom in outline. Nothing else stays so comfortably on a small head, or forms such a becoming shade to the little face. The slight turn-up at the front of the brim strikes a note that is very novel and fashionable this season. We should like best to see this idea worked out in fine white rice straw, with a white riband bow edged with narrow cream lace, but a fair little girl would look perfectly charming in a black hat, with blue ribands and an edging of the lightest black lace imaginable. The first thing to do is to line the straw. Stitch into the head a small square of sarsnet or thin silk; then cut another piece about four inches wide and as much in measurement as the line around the inside of the brim. Tack this down to the straw, as shown in the illustration, and run a tape through the hemmed edge of it. Do not draw up this tape at present, but leave it hanging loosely, so that you can easily fit your hand up into the hat. Now cut a circle of buckram or stout muslin about four inches across. Take a long length of riband or hemmed silk edged with lace, and sew it round and round this circle, finishing it off at the center with a tiny knot of plain riband to hide the join. Fold a piece of riband round the crown of the hat, and fasten it off in front. Sew down the puff over the join, stitching only through the foundation, and leaving the frills to stand up as lightly and loosely as they please. Now draw up the head lining. Sew on a piece of elastic at the sides of the hat to hold it in place on the head. Stitch on long riband strings at the same points, and the them in a loose bow under the chin. It would be rather a good plan to get a very nice straw and make up sev- HAT eral different puffs and sets of strings in various colors to match the child's different frocks. The trimming could be removed and another one put on so quickly that there is no reason why the girl should not be always en suite from top to toe. This idea would be specially handy for anyone who is traveling with a child. Light hats so soon get dusty on boats and in trains that nurse will probably be glad to have at hand several new sets of trimmings, so that she may put on a new one in the evening, and may know that her little charge will start out next morning looking perfectly fresh and spruce. Handsome Meat Stand Give the June bride one of the new stands to hold a meat platter, which come in open-work silver, in oval form, and have silver feet to raise the dish slightly from the table. The stand divides in the middle and can be adjusted to hold any platter. One of the models has a small alcohol lamp beneath the opening to keep the meat hot. While in solid silver such a stand is extremely costly, yet very good designs can be found in plated ware. These stands are highly useful, as they do away with unsightly asbestos mats and make scarred tables impossible. Grace In Train. Chic as a short skirt is for the street, it lacks the grace loved for indoors, especially for evening wear, and however prettily woman's feet are shod, few can rise superior to the graceless sitting attitude, shorn of drapping folds, which one is forced to assume in a short, close skirt. French women love grace above smartness, therefore they soon discard the short skirted evening toilet for the pretty little train of the twentieth century—a narrow, unsuffixed breadth of velvet or brocade, dragging its slender length from the belt over the short skirt beneath. Slender as it is, it gives grace, the length of line, demanded of an evening toilet. TO HOLD FEATHER BRUSH Pretty and Ornamental Little Affairs Can Easily Be Made by Skillful Fingers. A feather brush is a very necessary little article that should always be handy in almost room, and as a rule it finds a place upon a nail by the side of the fireplace. But pretty and ornamental little holders can be made for these brushes, and we give a sketch of a dalnity little article of this kind. It is made of a diamond-shaped piece of stout cardboard, measuring eight inches across, and smoothly covered with silk and then edged with M silk cord carried into three loops at each point, the center loop at the top being a little longer than the others, as it is by this loop that the holder is suspended from a nail in the wall. A band of ribbon is sewn across the center and finished off with a smart bow on either side. Under this band the handle of the brush may be easily slipped and the brush held in its place in the way shown. To make the holder successful, in selecting the colors of the silk, the cord and the ribbon, the color of the wall paper on which it is to hang should be taken into consideration. COLLARS MADE AT HOME Sailor Pattern Has First Place This Summer Among Girls Who Follow Fashion's Dictates. This summer the sailor collar has first place, and the girl who has not a goodly supply of them must replenish her wardrobe. This can be done at small cost. All that is needed are ideas. Get a well-fitting sailor pattern, adjust it to your neck, and vary the designs and shapes with each new collar. As the deeper ones are only effective on the young and slender, make more of the shallow ones. With the sailor backs the fronts can be varied; sometimes brought to a shallow point, again reach to the bust line with a plastron inserted; squared across the front or shaped into revers. A smart shape has back and front indented—that is, a small square cut out of each corner. A yard or two of cotton marquette, lawn, or dotted muslin will make many. Short lengths of lace and insertion or bits of all-over embroidery may be used. As many of the newest collars have a contrasting binding or are combined of several kinds of material, the deft girl can often get a good-looking collar for little. A good style collar is in sheer linen, lawn or a fine plique covered with conventional designs in hand embroidery. Combination of vites done in eyelet and solid dots is effective, or medallions of lace in the corners of the collar and at back can be connected with lines of dots or delicate vinery in satin stitch. Do not put too much work on these collars. All-over embroidered batiste, flowered Swiss and open embroidery, or nets, give the same effect. A handsome collar, resembling a fichu in front, is made from white lawn, edged with inch-wide Cluny insertion and stiped diagonally with narrow insertion. Outlining the collar is a double frill of finely plaited mull with a finished edge. This is sowed to the insertion and is rounded quite fully across the narrow squared fronts. A quickly made collar of lawn has an edging of heavy lace with insertion to match run diagonally from corners to match at back and brought straight across the squared fronts. Medallions of the same lace are used across the lower edge of the collar or rows of diamond shapes alternating with a large coin dot all worked in heavily padded satin stitch in white. A smart-looking collar of white plique with dark blue or red dots can nave binding of plain white plique or of the same tone as the dots. These need careful laundering. Three-Piece Suits. Young girls are wearing three-piece suits of linen comprising attached blouse and skirt and a box coat all of a simple nature. A favorite model has the skirt formed of two pieces that are gored at the top as little as possible and put together with the front overlapping the back, the opening being at the side, while the blouse is cut low at the neck and trimmed with braid loops and buttons of a smaller size than those used on the coat. SCRAPS of HUMOR Quaint and Acquaintance. The fattest man in Manayunk was weighing himself a few days ago in the big market house in the suburb. A crowd of small boys gathered a short distance away from the scales and gazed at his girth with wondering eyes. The fat man didn't like to be the center of interest, evidently, for he turned and said, grully: "Hope you know me when you see me again." As the boys took to their heels one of them hurled the parting shot: "We will, mister, if some one doesn't stick a pin in you before we see you." HE PROVED IT. Casey—Whin I was passing your shanty jist now that goat of yours nearly knocked the loife out o' me. Sure, he's not well bred. Doolon—Maybe not, Casey, but he's a good butter, all right.

A funeral complete which will give satisfaction to my friends at the cost of $65.00 and give satisfaction or money refunded. In all my years of business I do not think that I have ever taken advantage of or mistreated a single person. I stand for right and my goods cannot be ex- celled by any firm or trust. I have no connection with any trust or company, but the one located at this given address, 2959-61 State street, and as for the care and preservation of the dead our method cannot be excelled as to natural color and life like appearance of the body whether by white or Colored. If you should need me call and see for yourself. I have waited until my competitors and the trust have gotten down to the bottom rock and I am going as low as any of them and if possible a little lower try and see. E.
