By Sylvester Russell. The blessing of relief was pronounced upon the life of Robert Cole August 1, when, either in a fit of despondency or a sudden return of insanity, he deliberately walked out into the stream and was drowned in Catskill creek in the mountains where he had been taken for his health and summer vacation. It was on the morning of October 8, 1910, that Mr. Cole broke down while appearing at the Fifth Avenue theater, New York, in vaudville with Rosmond Johnson, and on October 14 he became hopelessly insane as a result of overwork and had to be immediately sent to JOHN H. ing artists: Bob Cole, Irving Jones, Nr. and Mrs. Sam Lucas, Doe Sayles, Clarence Powell, Sylvester Russell, Gurrell Hawkins, the Great Gauge, Florence Hines, Sadie Jones, St. Jill Wiley, Excelsior quartet and a large chorus. BOB COLE, Foremost Actor of His Race. Bellevue. About a month ago, in June, Mr. Cole had become so rational and giving that he was permitted to be removed to a sanitarium at Amityville, Long Island, but was later taken to the Catskills, where he met with death.

The task proved too much and, being a man of nervous temperament, Cole never fully recovered but finally colapsed as above stated. After one season with Black Patti, Bob and Billy had decided to put a musical comedy on the road, and with the assistance of Jesse A. Shipp, Bob A. Kelley and Tom Brown "A Trip to Countown" was produced as the first modern legitimate Negro musical comedy. Cole's Illustrious Career Bob Cole was born in Athens, Ga., and was 43 years of age. He was a graduate of Atlanta university and an historian by study and practice. He first began to attract attention as far back as 1935 when with Stella Wiley he made his first impression as a comedian and dancer. The team was known as Cole and Wiley. The team was nextseen to good advantage when Sam T. Jack had engaged Bob Cole After a few successful seasons on the road Bob Cole and Billy Johnson parted and Mr. Cole afterwards took BILLY JOHNSON, Bob Cole's First Partner. stage manager to replace Charley in, who became jealous of ng Cole and retired from the pany. Sam T. Jack had taken Rosamond Johnson, then a young composer and singer, for a partner. The two entered vaudeville as headliners and toured America and Europe, at ```markdown ``` --- the Savoy theater on Broadway in the neighborhood of 27th street for a run of his creole company.

The theater was named after Mr. Jack and opened with the follow- J. ROSAMOND JOHNSON Bob Cole's Second Partner. HON. JAMES W.

Rosmond Johnson made his debut as a comedy star. In the course of two seasons Cole and Johnson had produced the "Red Moon," said to be the finest singing production ever put on the road. When George W. Walker of Williams and Walker broke down Mr. Cole at once engaged his wife, Alida Averon Walker, as a special feature of the "Red Moon" during its final season. Speaking of Mr. Cole as the foremost actor of his race, it was the many qualified branches which he mastered that placed him ahead of all other colored actors of his day and time. As an actor and comedian he was able to act and do so legitimately. He was an excellent artistic dancer, his comedy was of a high order and full of natural and educational wit. His conception of art, costuming and stage paraphernalia was highly intellectual. In fact as a playwright and producer he never had an equal except in Jesse A. Shipp. In consideration of the fact that he was a legitimate comedian who played acting parts and without the aid of blacking his face, and I have seen him in everything from variety black face plantation acts to the most qualified grade of high comedy, and this alone places him highest in rank even if not so funny as Hogan or Williams. Mr. Cole was also a scholar who was connected socially with men of advanced attainments, which was naturally helpful to development of his own capacity. He was a constant student. His studio in the Marshall house in New oYrk consisted of two cases of books which reached from the ceiling to the floor in which he and Rosamond Johnson and J. W. Johnson, an elder brother, who wrote lyrics after retiring as a teacher and before being called away as a foreign minister. Mr. Cole was also an adept in ancient history. Socially he had prestige and had first recognition of any actor in the most exclusive society endowed by Booker T. Washington. And over the grave of the brilliant actor, Cole, I will say to the masses of colored people who are inclined to belittle the noblest and grandest figures of their own race to cease from like scouring and I bid them look up and strive to fill some honorable place where useful lives adorn. And it was the vexation of labor and the vicissitudes of life that goes with the trials of the ignorant and the enemies with which a man like Mr. Cole had to contend that caused him as a man of nervous temperament to speak his mind truthfully and pointedly to actors who served him and disliked him but wish he was living today to give them a good engagement. Cole was the nearest of any actor of his race to genius. He admired the skill of a worker. As a ragtime composer and lyric song writer he was the greatest of his day of any race or color, and I defy any man who disputes it. It was the ready brain of Cole which I admired the most. Some of his lyrics were marvelous, "Under the Bamboo Tree" and "Big Indian Chief" were only mild examples and "Big Red Shawl" were all of the lighter class of his ardent study. When Cole and Johnson were writing for the Klaw and Erlanger productions I was given a private banquet by Mr. Cole in order that he could get me to see the merit of some of his greatest work with the Johnsons and he felt it a just tribute to confer with one who, with his name, would live in the ghost of his own history. And now the curtain upon the actor whose work we all worshiped rings down. Robert Cole, who parted by the river. When will we have another? Sigh of the River. What did he see beneath the clear But rocky water of the Catskills? Where one day his mind, all but a shadow, Passed its way. There lay the genius who once bore The burdens heavy in his study- Toller a slave who, laboring for the actors, Found his grave. Was it the Master's beckon call, That earth might surmise of the Jordan- His Father's home—just across life's creek river- Eden's dune. Was it farewell from the mountain. From the valley and in the stream. Bidding good-bye as the spirit of our Scarred on high. U. B. F. IN SESSION. The Chicago Delegates left Sunday night over the Wabash road to attend the thirty-third grand session of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. at Quincy, Ill. Among the delegates were Rev. and Mrs. Chavis, Mr. B. Lucas, Mrs. M. Johnson, Miss L. Draper, Mrs. L. Dean and Mrs. H. Sawers. They had a private car and were joined by Capt. R. L. Byrd, Mr. Mosby and Rev. Cole, who added to the pleasure of the trip. The train arrived safe in Quincy and every one declared the journey a pleasant one. Notice to Our Subscribers Who Have Not Paid Up. Allow us to remind you that your account with the Chicago Defender has been standing for several months unsettled.

FELLOWS ODD BIG MEET Representatives From All Parts of the State Are Present and Great Good Done for the Community at Large. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Decatur, Ill., August 11—The ninth district convention of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows adjourned at midnight of present date after a very lively session, and many wholesome reforms. The convention adopted the endowment scheme, submitting a plan of insurance to the various lodges for ratification similar to that in vogue in the K. of P. organization. Two-thirds of all lodges must concur in order to make the action of the convention effective. The board of control was reorganized. Heretofore there has been nine appointive members, instead five elective has been substituted. Former District Grand Manager Dora Byrd, the founder of the Odd Fellows' Home, was overwhelmingly defeated for election as a member of the board by the Buckner-Brewington combination. Byrd was also defeated for treasurer of the board by the same aggregation. There had been war for many years between those two factions, but this last marked the end. This one put the old leader down for the count and the smashing of the old machine. Byrd's candidate for state treasurer, John Long, was as humiliatingly defeated as was Byrd; also went down with them the organization candidates for grand directors. The new directors are Harry Watkins of Decatur and L. J. Ousley of Beloit, supported by Buckner-Brewington insurgent crowd. The insurance board was next elected with the following persons as members for the ensuing year: MaJ. John C. Buckner, James T. Brewington, Jr., J. W. Womack, Dr. A. J. Fairfax, J. W. Gaines. The other officers were unanimously elected or re-elected. Mayor W. F. Dineen of the city of Decatur, Com. J. Becker and hospitable citizens were highly praised in a set of resolutions. The delegates' department was excellent and the treatment accorded them by the citizens and the officials of Decatur was never equaled. East St. Louis will get the 1912 convention. District: Grand Master William Miller was enlisted as being the best and fairest of all previous presiding officers by James T. Brewington, Jr., who made the nomination speech for Miller. Byrd Whitaker proved to be exceptionally popular with the convention. The convention went wild with enthusiasm when Whitaker concluded his annual address and again when Major John C. Buckner proposed him for re-election as deputy grand master. J. W. Womack, Charles E. Smith and J. W. Gaines were among the most active workers. Beasley of Western Star and Glover of Hutchinson Lodges were credits to their lodges. Dr. A. C. Fairfax at last joined the insurgents and assisted in accomplishing a great deal of much needed work. The delegates will long remember fighting Frank Isaacs of Lake Michigan Lodge. There is no use saying much about the Household of Ruth, because Sister Nora Taylor, district most noble governor, had everything her own way and for brains and work the inmates always lead. The friends of Dora Byrd blame Brewington for him being thrown off the board. Brewington was a member of the committee on revision of the constitution and by-laws and thereby legislated the old appointive committee out of power and provided for the election of the committee. It is claimed it was done for the express purpose of getting rid of the founder and ruler of the Home for Aged Old Fellows at Jacksonville, Ill., which is worth several thousand dollars. The delegates are all leaving home tonight happy and prophetic of great progress the order will make during the next twelve months in this state. J. W. Womack and Major John C. Buckner, master, lectured on the history, laws and principles of the order. The convention was held in the court house. Mayor W. F. Dineen turned over the city to the visitors and the citizens re-invited the delegates individually and collectively to return at will, such was their excellent conduct. As a whole the same delegates should represent their lodges in the 1912 convention. NEW TEMPLE FOR B. F. HOWARD IN CHICAGO. With Dt. Anna Price as Daughter Ruler of Temple. There was set up on Friday night, July 31, 1911, a new lodge of Daughter Elks by Mrs. H. P. Lee, Grand Dt. R. of the original Elks of B. F. Howard, assisted by Mrs. Dr. Jennie Lacy. The ceremonies were gone through with splendor. The lodge promises to be a great success, and the new officers are planning now to outshine the older order, as the new members are working in earnest to make it a success. There was a telegram read from Daughter King, expressing great regret at being unable to at- tend, being out of the city. The new order is planning to give quite a few entertainments this season to help in upholding the lodge. The new officers elected were as follows: Annie Price, Dt. Ruler; Louise Anderson, V. Dt. Ruler; Laura Tyler, Asst. Dt. Ruler; Dorotha George, Escort; Nannie Campbell, Chaplain; Emily V. Hall, Sec.; Clara L. Anderson, Asst. Sec.; Julia Lee, Treasurer; Ella Anderson, Organist; Kittle L. Smith, Doorkeeper; Minnie Hatchett, Gatekeeper; Annie Bolden, Margaret Flowers, Annie King, Trustees; Ada Brown, Deputy of Temple; Dr. Scholtz, Examining Physician. DR. GEORGE C. HALL MADE PRESIDENT OF MICHIGAN RESORT COMPANY. Benton Harbor, Mich., August 11.—Over seventy-five guests of the West Michigan Resort enjoyed the regular Monday evening hop, dancing continuing into the wee small hours. At the annual meeting of the stockholders the old board of directors was re-elected with Dr. George C. Hall as president. That the resort is enjoying the patronage of the country's best citizens is shown from a glance at its register for last week. Father Mason and his daughter, Miss Edith, Mr. Pittman, Mrs. Hodge Campbell, Miss Taylor, Miss Nell Grant of St. Louis, Miss Roberts and Miss Daisy Hall, Columbus, O., Miss Law, Marion, Ind., Mr. George W. Cable, Indianapolis, Ind., and it looked like most all Chicago's society was there. The resort guarantees to give one week of pleasure for every day spent there. The board decided unanimously for the cottage plan, by which every shareholder is allowed to build his own cottage. A large dancing pavilion is also added. FUNERAL OF ROBERT COLE. (Special to the Chicago Defender). New York, August 11.—The funeral of Robert Allen Cole took place at his late residence, 102 West 136th street, New York City, August 6. Rev. Dr. Brooks officiated and Dr. Layton read the scripture lesson which preceded the sermon. "Nearer My God to Thee," "Abide With Me," "Asleep in Jesus" and "I Need Thee Every Hour" were the hymns rendered. Mr. Arthur Payne was the special solist. The honorary pall bearers were Bert A. Williams, Jesse A. Shipp, Lester A. Walton, Shepard N. Edmunds, and a son of Booker T. Washington. Mr. Cole's mother and sisters were prostored with grief. Flowers were in profusion. Interment was at Woodlawn cemetery. THE CITIZENS SHOULD ATTEND THIS PICNIC. The Civic Protective league desires the presence of yourself and friends at their first annual picnic to be given at Rasch's grove, 79th street and Bond avenue, Monday, August 14, from 1 p.m. to 12 o'clock midnight.

Note: Take south side cars to 63d street and Stoney Island avenue and transfer to Windsor Park or South Deering cars direct to 79th and Bond avenue. It is through Mr. Moses Samuels' kindness in notifying and sending the ten Defender reporters complimentaries that this notice appears. The reporters will attend in a body, including the editor. Officers of the League—Prof. Wm. Emanuel, president; D. C. Childress, vice president; H. B. Sloan, secretary; B. W. Williams, assistant secretary; Jas. R. Conrad, treasurer; Ben.

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 doings. F. A. HOLMES IN ACTION. ATHLETE OF SOUTH DRAWS COLOR LINE—FITZPATRICK REFUSES TO COMPETE AGAINST HOLMES IN ALL AROUND MEET. By Jullus N. Avendorph. F. A. Holmes, colored star athlete of the Illinois State Gaellic Athletic Association who outdistanced every other athlete entered in the annual meet at Gaelic Park, Sunday, August 6th, and who is eligible for the all-around meet which is to be held on Marshall Field, Saturday, August 12th, the man who Fitzpatrick 100 A By Peter P. Jones, Photographer. MR. F. A. HOLMES, JUMPER. The above cut gives a good view of Mr. Holmes as he was about to win the national title. He is the world's record. This is the man that a Southern white gentleman, who is the owner of the Orleans, which has a seven to divide the negroes from the whites (Mr. Flipprick), who refused to compete if he was president of the southern association of the A. A. U., and who is entered under the New Orleans Athletic Club, for the meet on Saturday, on learning that Holmes was to compete, telegraphed President Brown of the National A. A. U., that he would not compete against the colored man, Mr. Brown, who fortunately is one of the fairest and bravest men that ever held the position of president, had this to say to our Reporter, "Although there might be a question of technicality in regards to Holmes" OKLAHOMA WOULD BE HELL. IF The Chicago Record-Herald, Dated August 9, 1911, Publishes a Letter to the Rev. Willmore Kendall by the Hon. Lee Cruce, Governor of Oklahoma. The letter referred to is a convining proof that sleeping justice is awakening, and that there are men and women of other races that not only sympathize with the Negro, and deplore his environments, and do not hesitate to voice their sentiments. But rarely, if ever, has it come to our notice that a governor of one of the most prejudicial Negro-hating states of the Union, unsolicited, unpatienced, no financial aid, admitting his previous indifference to the injustice done the Negro race—a race brought to this country under protest and made citizens of this great United States of America, then denied the right of citizenship, as accorded other men, denied the protection of the flag they fought to save. This is the race of people that this governor admits that he was not in sympathy with; but at the demands of his conscience comes forward and rescues from the gallows a poor, friendless orphan Negro lad. Indifferent to the criticism of friends and foes, endowed with the right in an official capacity, he has dared to do that which should endear him to all right-thinking and justice-loving people. Laying aside all prejudice, assuming all responsibility, proud of the fact that it was in his power to save a poor, misguided orphan Negro lad, with doubtful opportunities, from an ignominious death on the gallows. This act alone convinces us that there beats in his bosom a heart that is loyal and true, and who knows that it may be an incentive for others to do likewise? Every man, woman and child, black or white, should always cherish a warm spot in their heart for the Hon. Lee Cruce, Governor of Oklahoma, and he should receive a vote of thanks from the colored people from every state in the Union. This one humanitarian act alone should be the means of the colored people taking a more optimistic view of the future of the race. When we take into consideration the friendless state of this poor orphan youth --- --- entry, nevertheless I am thoroughly convinced that he should be allowed to compete, as his entry was-received in the proper way. I believe in giving everybody a chance, regardless of color, race or religion, and as long as Holmes is an American citizen I cannot see any reason why he should not be allowed to pit his skill on the The image provided does not contain any text.

In my mind, there is no question as to the validity of the entry, and I shall do my best to allow him to complete. When we received Holmes' entry it had the proper postmark, which showed us he had lived up to the requirements, and I can not see any reason why he should not be a contestant." This and this kind of grit alone, in the breast of the white man, is the only thing that is going to help the black boy. The Defender congratulates Mr. Brown. It makes the act that saved him from death on the scaffold a noble one; and who knows but that some time, somehow and somewhere, manifold blessings may be showered on this man who obeyed the call of conscience, came forward, dared to assert his manhood and proclaim himself not only a governor, but a man? Words are inadequate, and my pen can not portray my feeling when I read the last sentence of that grand, never-to-be-forgotten letter. Says he: "I am doing what my conscience tells me should be done, and I had rather live feeling that I had done this boy and his race no wrong, than to have the commendations and applause of every citizen of this universe." Mrs. J. E. Wright, 3538 State St., Chicago, Ill. President of the Woman's Coterie Literary Club. MRS. HATTIE KING SUES MR. CHAS. ZEROTINA FOR BREACH OF PROMISE. There was great excitement in the Defender's office when a conversation got out that Mrs. King, 3004 State street, was to start a bus for 40,000 for a wealthy gentleman for the reporters breach of promise. The search of started out immediately at a lodge Mrs. King, who was four, asked as to what's the news, she began to talk freely and told us ever. When asked did she remes? Lawyer R. J. A. Tadd, of Color, she blushed and, stammering said "No," and as quick as a face asked, "What about him?" She told that he was in her emploi files, and she said: "Well, you see all those names may be, same and all that, I assure you that it does not apply to me, for haven't been in Colorado this year and know nothing of the case. I think it is a huge joke some of my friends are playing on me. There will be no danger of this Mr. King doing the like. Then another thing: people must remember that here are many people in America with the same name." Later the reporters found that it was a white lady and gentleman by the name. A GRAND PICNIC.

Prominent speakers from north and south will appear. RAIL MEN ROYALLY ENTERTAINED. Special to the Chicago Defender: Mr. John Baker, of Grand Island, Nebr., magnificently entertained a few of his friends Aug. 1, at his Cosy residence. The lawn was most beautifully lighted with electric lights and Japanese lanterns. The gold and silver fish in the pond darting to and fro and the beautiful flowers with their fragrant perfume filled the air. The scene was equal to that of Paradise. The evening was pleasantly spent at whist and social chatting. Mrs. Baker, the handsome wife of the host, rendered a solo, which was very creditable. Mr. Baker made the address of welcome, which was rapturously received, wherein he said in part: "His home was always open to his friends, especially railroad men, as it reminded and gave him fond remembrances of the past when he rode the wheels, which was in the most lucrative days." That profession, consequently he made hay while the sun shone and retired. Mr. J. William Shields was toastmaster of the evening, who proved himself qualified for the position. At 11:35 supper was served, which consisted of the delicacies of the season, the most noticeable was the whole roast pig, with a red apple in his mouth, which adorned the table. Mr. Grant Lewis, better known as Doc, seated at the head of the table, after making an elaborate speech, was awarded the pig's head. Mr. Daniel Hughes, in his fatherly manner, invoked the blessing, which was very instructive. Each gentleman present responded to toasts in a beffiting manner. Among those present were Mr. Grant Lewis, Omaha, Neb.; Mr. Daniel Hughes, Denver, Col.; Mr. Frank L. Harington, Chicago; Mr. Arthur G. Neeley, Seneca, Kan.; Mr. Albert Green, Omaha, Neb.; Mr. Ewell Carter, Grand Island; J. W. Shields, Chicago. The popping of corks and the flow of Eloquence reigned supreme to a late hour, after which Mr. Baker's automobile was in waiting to take the guests to the railroad station. New Whisk Broom. The motorist who often has the provoking experience of having his clothes spattered with mud will appreciate the new whisk broom which a clever inventor has just brought out. In the handle there is a short, stubby brush made of stuff bristles. This will remove the stubborn spots with a few strokes. One need not be afraid of wearing the material thin or frouzy by using this brush. The other end is just an ordinary whisk broom. The Useful Brush: In good housekeeping a collection of brushes is found to be indispensable. A large brush made of fiber, for cleaning the sink; a small painter's brush for greasing pans and griddles; a small scrubbing brush for cleaning potatoes and other vegetables, and a flat brush with a narrow back and long flexible bristles for slipping behind radiators to dislodge the dust; a small camel's hair-water color brush is also fine to dip in an melted chocolate or colored ting for decorating cake. A Dilemma. "Wealth has its embarrassments," said the ready-made philosopher, Yes, said Dr. Dustin Stax.

"I wish I was twins, mother, then half of me could do lessons, and half could play."—London Punch. One Precious Possession The gods may rob us of everything except the heart to endure.—George Meredith. Bayard Drillham walked down the main street of the village of Perch Harbor with his head slightly tilted to one side. When acquaintances of Mr. Drillham's met him walking down La Salle street in Chicago with his head at that angle, or when his office force observed him inclining his neatly parted hair toward one shoulder, be it never so slightly, they effaced themselves deftly, swiftly, for they knew the sign—Mr. Drillham was in a bad temper. Originally he had started out in life possessed of the average good nature of his kind, but many things combined to foster latent irritability. He had been an only son and money had surrounded him from the cradle. He had been fawned on in college and catered to by people in general and business success had also been his. There was little wonder then that, at thirty-five, Bayard Drillham should have grown into the way of thinking all things must move at his bidding; that the very universe must jump at his call. And in Perch Harbor he had struck a snag in the smooth running of his life. His city newspapers arrived or did not arrive according to their own sweet will, apparently, and though he had been ordered to the small Wisconsin town by his physician for a month's absolute rest he could not shut himself off entirely from news of the world and the market. If he could not be there in the thick of the fight with the brokers, he at least must keep tab on them. And he was heading with blue fire in his eye for the tiny little news depot the town boasted. Behind the counter was the shock-haired boy to whom he had given his order a few days after arriving. Mr. Drillham fixed on his stonest glance and experienced a feeling of considerable elation at the knowledge of the forthcoming verbal flaying, for ill health had reduced him READ "Why Don't You Come to Headquarters?" even to such a mental state. The boy stared back with interest, for to his untutored sense this immaculately clad man with the square chin and clearcut features and keen eyes was worth looking at. And in a low, even voice Mr. Drillham started in. "If you people used an ounce of sense," he ended, with some heat, "or showed the slightest desire to accommodate your customers, you might do a decent business, but as things go now—why, I got my paper on only three days this week!—you'll be in the bankruptcy court in a month! There isn't any system, not even human common sense of the most ordinary garden variety—" Bayard Drillman was not conscious that he had ceased speaking. In the door behind the shock-headed boy, with one hand pressed against the casing, a woman had suddenly appeared and stood facing him, head thrown back. As he looked at her, a living, breathing incarnation of wrath, it dawned on him that, after all, she was only a girl, in spite of the superb carriage, the Juno shoulders, the entire air of sufficiency. Her eyes burned dark beneath brows lined by a delicate and inky pencil, her teeth were sunk against her scarlet lips. Afterward Bayard remarked that if she had suddenly hurled a sheaf of thunderbolts at him he should not have been in the least amazed. What she did do was to move swiftly forward, so that only the counter separated her from the trate customer, and her rich voice was vibrant. "One would suppose," she said, "that your own supply of common sense would teach you that you are wasting your complaints on a boy of fifteen who earns three dollars a week and doesn't care a tuppence whether the business succeeds or fails! Why don't you come to headquarters?" "And -that is—" stammered Drillham. "Myself!" flashed the girl. There was a deep color rising in her cheeks and, strangely enough, her lip quivered. She bent over a pad of paper. "If you will repeat your order to me," she said, in an expressionless voice, and Drillham meekly did so, his head whirling. Never in his life had he been caught up so sharply or so coldly set in his place. A sense of his foolish petulancy swept over him like a hot wave and his sick nerves quivered. Yet how could he explain to this girl, an utter stranger, that she mustn't mind, because really he was half an invalid? And why should it make any difference to him what she thought of him? Yet he writened as he stood there, his order ended, watching her. Suddenly she lifted her eyes as with an effort. She was very pale now and she fancied there was a hint of appeal in her gaze. Was there on earth another creature of such varying aspects and moods? He glanced around the little shop desperately and bought an armful of magazines at random. The shock-headed boy waited on him and the girl retired again to her tiny office, but bent over the desk. Still dazed, he left the shop and dropped into the drug store. He had made friends with the queer old proprietor. "Who is she?" repeated the old man as Drillham lighted, the cigar just purchased. "Say, that girl's all right. Her dad owned the store, no-account he was, but he worshiped Judith. The only thing that kept him at work at all was that she wanted to go to college, and he had to earn the money. And in the middle of her second year he up and dled, and after the funeral, when she found that store was all she had in the world, why, she just naturally started out to run it. That was three months ago. Of course, she isn't much on business, but she gets along." "She impressed me as being decidedly able to take care of herself." Drillham found himself saying a little curly. The old man laughed. "Judy's got a way with her," he said. "She's always carried her head high. But I've seen her cry over a robin with a busted leg when she was younger and lordy, but she can run from a cow! She's just a girl after all!" Bayard Drillham walked back slowly to his quiet boarding place. He was trying to imagine Judith White frightened, appealing, tremulous, and could not. Yet as he pictured her face, temperuous, haughty and commanding, he remembered suddenly that odd little quiver to her lips, and her pallor. It was a curious combination. It was so curious that the following day found him back in the little shop, where he demanded more magazines, quite unabashed at the memory of his yesterday's purchases. The boy was away and Judith herself waited on him, cool, reserved, polite. She wore dark blue, with white collar and cuffs, and he smilingly wondered if she knew she looked as if she were dressed for a part in a play. Somehow his attempts at conversation, while frankly met, never got anywhere, and he found himself going out when he most decidedly wished to stay in. And for many days the little scene was repeated. He told himself it was merely an idle curiosity to see if he ever could catch the goddess of her guard to find if she really were like other girls. A mad idea of hunting up a broken-legged bird possessed him. And each day brought him more firmly under thrall of her deep, dark eyes, her aloofness, her superb ability to care for herself. Never had Bayard Drillham so patiently tried to make friends with any man, to say nothing of a woman, for all his life he had fed from them, and never had he encountered such an impassable wall. So constantly were his thoughts centered on the amazing girl in the stuffy little shop that he forgot to think of himself and his illness and the result was that health sought him out. Yet he stayed on in Perch Ilarbor. Once he said to her half fiercely, "Do you intend to waste your whole life here?" "Why not?" she had countered indignantly, "I was born here! I belong here!" Judith was paler these days, and one morning Drillham, vaguely worried, entered the shop only to find it empty. There was no sound, and he stepped to the door leading to her little office. There with her head down on her outspread arms was Judith. As he looked her shoulders heaved. With one bound Bayard Drillham was beside her, drawing her to him as one draws a weeping child. "What is it, Judith?" he asked terrified. "What has happened?" The fact that instead of repelling him she half clung to him in a limp sort of despair added to his terror. "Oh," she gasped hopelessly, "I've had to give up! I'm beaten! I've fought and been conceited enough to think I could do things, but I guess you were right! There's been no system or c-c-common sense in the way I've run the business and now I've run into the ground! The store'll be closed tomorrow!" Bayard Drillham looked down at the tear-stained face with a great thrill of unbelieving happiness. His goddess was only a girl after all! "I've wanted to marry you all along and never dared say so before! Can't you care a little? Wonder you go back with me, dear?" "I've cared ever since I was so angry with you that first time," confessed Judith unexpectedly. Progress of the Race. The average English baby over whom the mother croons today is morally and intellectually no better endowed in hereditary character than the infant who lay in his mother's lap in early Plantagenet times. In each case the child may be regarded as a bundle of inherited potentialities. But we must remember that potentialities can only be realized as actualities under appropriate conditions. The aim of moral training and education is to afford the best opportunities for the development of the child-plants for whom we hold ourselves socially responsible—to provide an environment under whose stimulating influence every worthy potentiality shall blossom into the realized flowers of the ethical life, while the immoral and unsocial tendencies, which all of us inherit, shall remain in abeyance.—C. Lloyd Morgan. Virtues of Sunburn. Do not grieve over the superficial area of sunburn that you may have contracted during your summer outing. It may smart for a time, but it is by no means serious. As a matter of fact, sunburn has virtues which fully make up for its attending discomfort. It is convincing evidence that its victim has been living in a fresh, open, healthful environment and that his skin is thoroughly clean. Moreover, it is known that the active rays of the sun give a helpful stimulus to the respiratory process, and that under their influence the body absorbs an increased volume of oxygen, at the same time expelling an increasing output of carbonic acid and other detrimental elements. Certainly there are worse things than sunburn. Possibly This Explains It "I am not surprised at the general willingness of the people to adopt the safe and sane Fourth idea," volunteered the cynical boarder, during a pause in the conversation. "Aviation meets and motorcycle races furnish enough accidents to satisfy the popular appetite for horrors nowadays." About a Dozen Such Are In Existence Due to Mistake - Made in Print- ing—How Error Is Passed. if one had a bill with the print of the ten-dollar denomination on the face and the five-dollar on the back, should be average the two and consider the bill to be worth $7.50? This is not an impossible problem, for, says a treasury official, there are several such "freak" bills scattered through the country. One of them came to the sub-treasury at New York not so long ago. It had the imprint of the twenty-dollar note on one side and of the ten on the other. But, as the face showed the figure twenty, $20 was the legal value of the bill. Occasionally these freak bills slip through the bureau of engraving and printing, despite a careful scrutiny by three or four sets of inspectors. In most cases they have been national bank notes, which, like regular treasury notes, are printed at the bureau in Washington. The face value is always recognized when the "freaks" come to be cash, at any branch of the treasury. The imprint on the back has no lawful status whatever. The note is printed in sheets at the bureau. Usually there will be one twenty and two tens on a sheet. They are printed on one side at a time, so it can be seen that the printer, in turning over the sheet, might get it upside down, and thus put a ten-dollar back on a twenty-dollar note, or a twenty on the back of one of the tens. In the bureau are employees who are supposed to examine all the bills carefully, but occasionally they neglect to scrutinize both sides as carefully as they should, and so the money goes out into circulation. When errors are discovered, the misprinted sheet is laid aside to be destroyed. It cannot be torn up at once, for every sheet has to be accounted for. After a good deal of red tape it is ground into mulp. Most of the freak bills which have been issued in the past have found their way back to the treasury, there to be destroyed. It is thought that less than a dozen are now scattered about, most of them in the hands of curt hunters. No effort to collect them has been made by the government, for the treasury department does not consider the circulation of the few notes a matter of any consequence, inasmuch as there is no doubt about the values, as indicated on the face. Embryonle Ones. They had been at school together, recounts Answers. They had fought! both shoulder to shoulder and face to face. Now, after the passing of years, they met again.

"How?" replied the thin man. "Oh, anyhow!" "Dear me! Sorry to hear it. Let me think. You went on the stage, didn't you?" "Yes. But I had to give it up." "Why was that?" asked the city man. "Oh, I thought it best," said the other. "I had a few hints that I wasn't quite suited to the profession." "Oh, I see!" nodded his friend, knowingly. "The 'little birds' told you, eh?" "Well, not exactly," answered the ex-actor, with a painful smile. "But they would have been birds—if they had been allowed to hatch." Success of Y. M. C. A This year Young Men's Christian associations are likely, it is said, to break all records in amount of money raised for new buildings. The success at Philadelphia when $1,030,000 was secured in 12 days, has given stimulus both to young men's and young women's associations. Added to it was the $2,000,000 campaign for buildings in foreign capitals. Brooklyn women, with the aid of a few men, have just secured $145,000; Atlanta men, $600,000; Reading, $217,000; Elyria, O. $127,000, where the committee asked for but $100,000; Charleston, S.

Spelling Bee of 17 Hours Mis Margaret Patterson hesitated for an instant, then spelled "S-e-p-u-l-c-h-o-r." The two "ps" ended the longest spelling bee ever held in Missouri, for Miss Patterson sat down, leaving Miss, Ruth Crenshaw, the winner, still standing. The Pike county court house was filled with friends and relatives of the contestants, who for 17 hours, with only an occasional intermission, had withstood the bombardment of words until 10,000 had been given out. The contest was held under the supervision of the county school commissioner. It is estimated that of the 10,000 words assigned to the contestants the winner spelled 2000.—New York World. The Chateau of Vineyards Vincentines, famous in the annals of aviation, is noted also for its modi- nal chateau with castle and donjon, says the London Globe. The walls of the rooms of the keep have been encumbered and hidden with old har- nesses and arms. The stairway, trodden by so many Kings, princes and cardinals, has been restored and the prison, council chamber and the apartments of Charles V. have been brought back to their pristine beauty. The donjon has been transformed into a museum where brica-brac of objects more or less authentic will be sold, but the beauty of the architecture is now visible to all who care to make a pilgrimage to the place.

No sooner had he said the words, our reporter looked at him a minute and then began to call for the police. He called several times, when a crowd gathered and Deacon Jones came up. Our reporter told the deacon to take that man and lock him up. "For what," said the officer. "Way, he is praising the Provident Hospital—a culored" man. A great majority say you can't live if you go there, but here is Mr. Claxton, after six or eight weeks, well and hearty. He said they treated him so fine he was forced to buy all the nurses a pound of candy, and said there is no use in any one telling me my people won't do, brother. They are there. All they want is a chance and they will win anywhere. 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 judge has 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.

The story of the gradual formation of the fruits, flowers and vegetables will light them and will be eagerly looked forward to and always, remembered. THE THIRTIETH MAN. The president of the College of the City of New York finds that one person in every 30 adults in the United States holds public office of some degree, "a public servant who is going up and down in some vicious capacity for the other 29." So large an estimate of the proportion of functionaries to the total adult population, male and female, seems surprising until the variety and bulk of the classifications is considered, says the Providence Journal. School teachers, for example, must be counted, while the development of public hygiene, of sociological enterprises, or the pure food laws, readily come to mind among elements newly expanding the public service and employing a growing host of performers of vicious duties. Dr. Finley submits a partial directory of the thirtieth man. He is the man who sweeps the streets as well as the one in the White House. He gathers and distributes the letters; forecasts heat and cold; tastes the milk before the child may drink it; keeps watch over forest and stream; is supervisor, doctor, nurse and guard in hospital, prison and almshouse; is mayor, judge, sheriff, sailor and soldier, public librarian, collector of taxes, guardian to the child who comes friendless into the world and chaplain at the burial of the man who goes friendless out of it; and so on. In a recent issue of the National Geographic Magazine Mr. Wells Cook of the United States Biological survey, has presented an interesting study of bird migration. In his article he tells us that the cliff swallows which nest in Nova Scotia leave the Gulf Coast of Mexico about March 10 and arrive at their destination two months later, on May 10. Most of the birds that speed the winter in Central or South America, he says, take the direct route across the Gulf instead of going via Texas or by way of Florida, Cuba or Yucatan, and this aerial journey means a single flight of from 600 to 700 miles with no alighting place. The object of the organization which calls itself the Non-Smokers of America is to secure the enforcement of laws, ordnances, regulations and rules against smoking in public places in the United States. The man who endeavored to incorporate it in New York include several distinguished educators. However, they were careless in drawing up their application. There was no statement from the would-be incorporators that they had not made application for incorporation before. For this reason, Judge Gleicher denied the application. But the non-smokers can begin over if they choose. --- A New Yorker writes to his favorite newspaper to say that for years he has had all soiled bills that came into his possession washed before placing them in his purse. Dipping them in naphtha or gasoline, he says, will cleanse them perfectly, and when these are not conveniently at hand soap and water will do the work satisfactorily. What a nice man he must be! Warning has been issued to watch one hundred-dollar bills carefully for counterfeits. The large majority who are accustomed to keep hundred-dollar bills in their vest pockets by way of casual change will be made nervous by the warning. A Washington woman has applied to the courts to get her alimony increased because she is unable to live on $600 a month. The courts might recommend a course in domestic economy for the lady. A pacheter puts himself up in a raftie, the proceeds to apply upon a church debt. This is taking commercial account of a well-known and unromantic estimate of marriage. The new president of the Chicago Stock Exchange was formerly a horse-shoe. Another illustration of the demoralizing effect of living in Chicago. The chirping of canary birds aroused a man in the early morning on a burning boat. Canaries also chirp in houses that have no fires in them.

SLAPDASH ERRED "MACHINE" MEANT NOTHING BUT AUTOMOBILE TO HER. So She Has Her Say Before Mra Mousegray Can Explain It is a Sewing Machine. "My machine," began the meek little lady. "Oh, yes, your machine," broke in Mrs. Slapdash hurriedly. "Are you having trouble with it? Now, really, that's too bad! We have a machine that never gives us the slightest cause for worry. Why, Mrs. Mousegray, we drove out to Osprey last week—50 miles and return—and we did not find it necessary to make a single repair, either on the road or after we reached home. Mr. Gogglesby—our neighbor, you know—says that it is a truly wonderful performance. But! then, you understand, we have one of the new 1912 model Hurry-upa." "But my machine," began Mrs. Mousegray again. "Yes, yes, I know!" went on Mrs. Slapdash breezely. "You really should have taken expert advice before buying. Of course, you not having lived here very long, I don't know all of the circumstances; but I am certain that you would have found it to your advantage. When I say expert advice, I do not mean the advice of those horrid, insistent salesmen; they, of course, desire only to advertise the merits of their own machines. But there are plenty of owner-drivers—like Mr. Slapdash or myself—who would cheerfully have given you the benefit of their experience." "I ought to tell you," broke in the meek little lady—"I ought to tell you that when I spoke of my machine I did not mean—" "I know you didn't mean to say that it is any better than other machines, my dear. I did not suppose that you intended any vulgar boasting. We—Mr. Slapdash and myself—have been through just what you are undergoing now, and I assure you that we would have appreciated a little valuable advice at the right moment. That, of course, explains my interest in your trouble. We tried a dozen different makes, and finally chose the 1912 "Hurryup" because it runs easily—"Hurryup" because it runs easily—"Mr. Slapdash." interposed Mrs. Mousegray, "my machine runs as easily as you wish; and I think you mistake my meaning because my machine is." "Now, Mrs. Mousegray, please do not believe that I am trying to belittle your machine. I wouldn't do it for the world! I only thought that perhaps you intended purchasing a new machine and Mr. Slapdash and—I hope you are not offended!" "O, not at all!" deprecated Mrs. Mousegray. "But please let me explain. The shuttle on my machine does not work properly, and I only wanted to ask you if you could tell me where I can get a man to fix it." The shuttle? The shuttle? What make is your machine? questioned Mrs. Mousegray underwriting. "That's what I want to tell you." replied Mrs. Mousegray. "It's a ball-bearing, rock-stitch sewing machine." —Judge. Eels for the Irish. When so many hard things are being said about the house of lords it should be kept in mind that they have just affirmed the claim of certain Irishmen to the exclusive right to fish for eels in Lough Neagh for a period of five thousand years from July 1, 1905. It is an affirmation that raises an inquiry as to whether or not the people of Ireland eat eels. Scots—even London Scots—never touch them, and a Scotch angler, catching an eel, promptly throws it away. Eels used to be associated with snakes, "and just as men of every race entertain an instinctive horror for snakes," writes Sir Herbert Maxwell, "so there remain traces of the same feeling about eels." It seems somewhat unkind of Sir Herbert to state that most civilized races have overcome this long ago, and then to add that there exists among the Scots a strong and universal prejudice against eels—London Chronicle. Was the Culprit Himself A tall, urbane man, with a black mustache, was a guest at a fashionable dinner in New York not long ago, when the lady on his right, after mentioning that she had just returned from a trip to Europe, proceeded to "roast" William Loeb Jr., the collector of customs for the city. She panned that affair to a rich, dark brown, and did it in such a witty manner that the tail, urbane gentleman laughed upcoarsely. "I think the appropriate death for him," she said, "would be choking with Irish lace—and I'd like to contribute some of the lace for the purpose." After dinner she asked her hostess: "What was the name of the black-mustached man on my left, dear? He talked so intelligently about the custom house." "I should think he would," replied the hostess. "That was Loeb himself!" A. Simple Precaution The Wise Woman sent a sudden vigorous puff of breath at the jet of steam rising from the copper teakettle as she filled the blue teapot and set the kettle back on the stove with a nod of triumph. "That trick has saved me many a scaled hand," she asserted. "Whether I read it or was told it it I am not sure, but until I tried it I was always getting most painful little burns. Steam is so easily blown aside, if you have the presence of mind to remember it, that you can easily keep it from reaching your hand until you can set down the kettle or pot. Don't forget it next time the lid slips. or the steam comes unexpectedly from the kettle spout. You will bless me for the hint." Had He Kent Count? Ethel—All is over between us. Here are your presents. A gold locket and chain, a diamond ring, and a pearl necklace. Harbort—There are some other things I gave you, I insist upon, being returned! PERSONAL Mrs. Della Neal of 5229 Wabash avenue gave a delightful dinner party on Friday night in honor of her birthday. A party of friends were invited and had a most delightful evening.

Calloway of Kansas City, Mo., attorney, was in the city for a few days. He left on Wednesday for the West Michigan resort. Mr. and Mrs. C. W.

Gibson is once more among us, having been away several weeks visiting friends and relatives in Fulton, Mo. Chicago has had the extreme pleasure of having within her gates Mrs. Gertrude Garnett-Johnson, a former resident of this city. Mrs. Johnson is one of our prominent society matrons and a musician of no small ability. She was for several years the leading contratto in Bethel church choir of this city. Her voice is of exceeding beauty and the choir lost a valuable member when Mrs. Johnson left us to join her husband in Des Moines, Ia., where they now reside. Many social events for Mrs. Johnson of necessity were abandoned as she was here in attendance on her aunt, Mrs. Bell, who is seriously ill. Chicagoans wish for Mrs. Johnson every prosperity and on her return to the city will graciously extend to her every hospitality to show their appreciation of a woman of her worth. Mr. Joseph Webb of Galliton, Tenn. is in the city. Mr. Webb is an experienced tinsmith and until recently worked at his trade in his home town. But being a live man he was compelled to protect himself by giving an exhibition of his muscular development and a southern gentleman's (?) face was the punching bag. Luckily he did not receive a necktie of hemp. But no one in the town would engage him to work and necessity forced him to leave his wife and family in Galliton, while he searched for kinder fields of labor. Is it not a shame that a man must not protect his manhood? Let us cry, Unite! Unite! the thunders roll it, the lightnings flash it and from shore to shore each passing breeze whispers it. Yes, until every man of us takes up the cry and acts upon it. "United we stand, divided we fall." Mrs. B. P.

Paul was seen on Monday at the head of 50 children on the way to Jackson park. At one time we thought it was the Salvation Army, but we found out that it was the Exquisit Club, doing its duty for the poor children. Mr. and Miss Leon L. Diggs, 2628 Wabash, will move from there in a short time to their own home, just bought, 3550 Rhodes Ave. We are glad our young people are beginning to get this land.

There was much commotion at the Grand on last Monday evening when Henry Saparo, Stinley L. Perrin and Goldy Crosby stepped upon the stage to get a new reception. There was much to be expected and Mr. Perrin, whose comedy is always original and legitimate, created more fun than had been created. Goldie Crosby wore a light walking suit and looked stunningly beautiful and sang well. Mr. Saparo likewise looked handsome and played his part cleverly. Joe Simms, in "Too Much Trouble," a one-act musical comedy written by himself, with music by Joe Jordan, scored. Mr. Simms' comedy work was full of mirth but to smile when he should be serious, as he did in one scene, robs him of such art as he will have to soon acquire. Walker Thompson was fairly good as a lover and looked fascinating in a scene with Ethel James, in which their work was artistically good, in a song funch. J. Louis Johnson, as the old Saddy, smiled too much and his work was not so effective as usual. Currie Stithe sang a ragtime song cleverly and Sadie Powee was also in the cast. In this musical comedy Mr. Simms steps one not higher in the legitimate ranks but the comedy had a dramatic ending which is always improper in a musical work; however, the play was good. The white acts included Lamont & Milham, The Four Fishers and the Twin City Four. Dave Payne's orchestra, which seems a little afraid of itself, improved at each successive performance. Demosthenes Jones at the Monogram. It is always encouraging to see new headliners and this week at the Monogram the public will be able to see a really talented young actor in Demosthenes Jones, formerly of the Carolina Four. Mr. Jones is not only possessor of a baritone voice or excellent quality, but his dancing was a real novelty in art. Smith and Whitman was a new team which gave quite a deal of satisfaction. While fat legs should have more covering, the little short soubrette seemed to please and the male impersonator came very night to being an artist. All she will need is careful study of equipeo and unmannerism and the art of holding her good loud voice in tact, before she sings it away and robs herself of its preservation in later days. Her words were indistinct, but her early chance for improvement is great, if she can acquire by cultivation. The Kellys was a good appearing team. Mr. Kelly has a magnificent bartone voice but should have given a better dialogue. His character work should have been his whole act and the straight omitted. He could easily have two acts. Mrs. Kelly, a little animated in her work, was quite attractive in general. The Monogram orchestra, which has the highest priced musicians on State street, gave great satisfaction. New Bill at the Phoenix. The New Cook and the Last Drop of Water were new pictures at this house. Ed. Goodbar sang the illustrated song "Because I Love You." The new orchestra consists of the following people: Alexander Poll, violinist, Hattle Mattle Patton, pianist, and Charles Mitchell, trap drummer. Bert Murphy was pictured very prominently in the Chicago Evening American last Saturday. Minstrel Morris, the eccentric jugging monologist will leave for a tour over the Pollack circuit September 1st. Leona Marshall, Charles Woody and Bertha Grant (the Three Kids), will soon go over the Canadian circuits. They are being booked by the Griffin time. Clarence Jones, the pianist and arranger, formerly of Gailer's, Cincinnati, is now at the "Lavarido." The soloists are Madam Lizzie Hart, Bessie Lake and Will Ables. David Paytor, Jr., denies the ridicule which appeared in the "Guess Who" column of the Chicago Defender last week. The announcement last week that Lawrence Heard, of the Huggs & Heard Music company, would set music to a waltz by George Reeves, was incorrect. Mr. Heard is a lyric writer and will set words to the music of Mr. Reeves, who is one of the finest trap drummers in America. Manager Frank Crowd, owner of he Globe Theater, Jacksonville, Florida, the largest colored theater owned by a negro in the South, has arived in the city. He had registered Holt's Hotel Brunswick when discovered by your correspondent who companied him as guest to the und and Monogram theaters.

Among some members out of town are Bert A. Williams, Jesse A. Shipp, J. Rosamond Johnson, Elwood C. Knox and John Slaughter. Among some of the artists and speakers to appear are: Mr. A. H. Roberts, who will deliver the oration. Hon. Ed Green, Henry Jones and W. R. Cowan will be the other speakers. Among the most prominent artists who will volunteer are Madam Aniti Patti Brown, Sylvester Russell, Fiddler and Shelton, Fanny Wise, Davis & Walker, Miss St. Clair White, Marie Burton-Hyram, Ade Murphy, Richard B.

Billy B. Johnson has been suddenly called out of the city on account of the illness of his mother. Johnnie Jones, formerly of Jones & Sutton and his new partner, Eva Moore, opened at the Brookline theater last, Monday and did well in their new act. Shelton A. Brooks, the actor, and Walter Harris, a popular young man of this city, have taken the Reno and are now busy remodeling a new cafe upstairs and the buffet below. All their friends are wishing them success. Harry S. Huggs and Lawrence M. Heard state that their popular song, "Jule," will be used by the band and orchestra at the Knights of Pythias encampment. The new music publishing firm of Blood-Koher & Co., are out with a new song entitled, "When the Tree's Shed Their Leaves in the Fall." Will Dorsey of this firm is to arrange all the music for Alphonso Zalaya, the noted pianist, who is to appear at the Majestic theater next week. Silney L. Perrin has been signed to write music for this firm. Sylvester Russell will again introduce the popular song, "If I Forget," at the Motts Memorial exercises at the Pekin theatre next Sunday evening. Memorial Program Should Be Memorial Program Should Be Short. The program at Motts Pekin theatre which will include a large list of stay speakers and singers, should be regulated in such a way as to be shortened and every member should be brief. The class of people who are going to pay one dollar admission won't want to stay all night. The Defender critic will not consume ten minutes. His stunt will be one song and a three-minute speech. CLAFLIN SINGERS AT OLIVET. Claflin University Jubilee Singers, who have been on the road for the past nine years, and who have been singing in and about the city for the past two weeks at the big white churches, will give their farewell concert next Thursday evening at 8 o'clock, Aug. 17. This is the finest body of singers of any university on the road. We hope Chicago's public will give them a rousing sendoff. The club is led by Dr. Wm. H. Marshall's brother. Dr. Fisher hopes to pack Olivet, at 27th and Dearborn streets. Advocates Silence. Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together, that at length they may emerge full formed and majestic, into the daylight of Life, which they are henceforth to rule. . . . All the considerable man I have known forebore to babble of what they were creating and projecting. Nay, in thy own perplexities, do thou myself but hold thy tongue for one day; on the morrow how much clearer are they purposes and duties; what wreck and rubbish have these mute workmen within thee swept away when intrusive noises were shut out—Maurice Maeterlnick. "In Marriage a Failure." When we, ask, "Is marriage a failure?" we might as well ask, "Is life a failure?" for marriage partakes of the imperfection of life, and, no more than life, is to be condemned for its imperfections. It is quite true that no marriages are perfectly happy, just as no lives are perfectly happy. But those who attack marriage for this reason assume that it is an institution designed to produce perfect happiness—that is to say, they assume an absurdity—London Times. Insulcating Religion The falling off in attendance in the various churches and the lack of interest on the part of young people in religious matters has had the attention of the authorities of Bavaria, where the supreme court has decided that parents must provide religious instruction for their children and that the instruction must be in keeping with the faith of the parents. Sister—"If you aren't good, I'll tell mamma, then she'll tell papa, and he'll whip you." Freddy—"Then I'll cry and grandfather will give me some candy and I won't give you any." Very, Keen, What?

Open Evenings. 3125 STATE STREET American Giants Win Big Benefit Game Before a Large Crowd and Bailey's Lady Band, Who Render Some of Their Best Selections with Ease. The American Giants downed Nielson's Gunthers Thursday evening, Aug. 10, 5 to 1, Pat Dougherty pitching line ball and holding the Gunthers safe all the way. Bugs Raymond, the wayward boy of the New York National League, started in to pitch for the Gunthers, but after earning enough to pay for a few more rounds, beat it to the dog house in favor of Eckstone. The game was full of sensational fielding, Duncan making the star catch of the day. Hamilton hit one that was tagged for four bags, but Duncan, running backwards, stacked one hand and pulled it down. Reltz of the Gunthers was there with that fielding stuff. stopping one from Payne's bat that was good for three bags. Our boys started scoring in the third. Pryor, first up, singled. Hill fled out; Pryor stole second. Uncle Monroe tripped and Pryor scooted across the pan. Payne and Grant were easy outs. In the fourth, Bugs Raymond saliva having given out, he started a jawing match with the umpire in order to get up more spit to pitch his celebrated spit ball. After getting up more saliva, he promptly struck out Mr. Pryor, amid great laughter. The cyclone tamers grabbed off two more in the fifth. Hill walked and stole second, Monroe singled and took second while Payne was striking out. Grant singled, scoring Hill, and Monroe, Purce and Hutchinson were easy outs. We got two more in the next to make things safe. Our own Patrick first man up, singled. Duncan was safe on an infield hit, Dougherty taking second. Pryor sacrificed them along a base, where both scored on a passed ball. Hill singled. Monroe was safe on Quillen's error, Hill moving up to second. Payne and Grant easy outs. In the seventh Peirce, our young catcher, hit one to the fence, but died at the pan trying to stretch it into a home run, being too slow on foot. We tried to add one more in the eighth. Pryor was an easy out, Hill also, but our trusty old uncle Mon. singled. Payne did likewise. Monroe tried to go home from first and died at the plate. In the eighth inning Gertenrich, of the Gunthers, hit for a home run. Cover for Bathtub Many housekeepers spend a lot of time cleaning their bathtubs. Here is a way to make the work less strenuous: Cut a piece of unbleached muslin in the size of the tub and round off the edges to fit it, a blaz facing is then stitched round the cover, and through this a piece of tape is run. When the tub is not in use the cover is put on and tape drawn tightly under the edge. It is easy enough to wash, and spares an incredible lot of wear and tear on bathtub. Try It for a Day Do you begin the day saying thus? "This day I will live as becomes a man. I will be filled with good cheer and courage. I will do what is right; I will work for the highest; I will put soul into every handgasp, every smile, every expression—into all my work. I will live to satisfy my other self." You think it is easy. Try it for a day.—Elbert Hubbard. Those Girls. "What a charming dress, my dear! Such a lovely shade of pink. You always show such perfect taste." (Merciful heavens! That dress must have been made for a wagon cover. And why in the name of sense she wears plink when it makes her look like a chink of mud. I can not imagine.) Reminiscence. The boy betbought himself of a great many remarkable things which were not taking place all about him, And right shrewdly. "For these," quoth he, with wisdom beyond his years, "are what one need be prepared fondly to recall in one's old age."—Puck.

PROVIDENT HOSPITAL GAME WELL ATTENDED PROVIDENT HOSPITAL GAME WELL ATTENDED The Defender Prediction of Between 1,400 and 1,500 Came True—It Is Said There Were About 500 Tickets Sold to Friends Who Did Not Attend the Game. By J. H. Wright. The American Giants walloped the Artesians Sunday, Aug. 6, to the tune of 12 to 10. Dougherty was practically invincible. The contest scheduled for Saturday with the West Ends was postponed on account of rain. The game Sunday was chuck full of excitement. Our boys showed the natives how to run bases. Everybody stole one or two bags. The Artesian catcher tried to see how often he could throw the ball to center field. Petway, the star catcher of the American, watched the game from the grandstand and got so excited when Uncle Monroe went all the way from first base to home on a single that his better half could hardly keep him from beating it to the clubhouse and, donning the spangles, Dougherty grew stronger and the Artesians never had a chance. Coops in Fields for Babies That necessity is the mother of invention is shown by the hundreds of little buildings resembling chicken coops which are scattered over the fields of Weld county to provide daytime homes for the babies of the Russians who work in the fields. The Russian mothers are obliged to take their babies to the fields and have built these little structures of wood, covering them with canvas. At noon and once in the morning and in the afternoon the mothers visit their children, leaving them alone for the remainder of the day. The youngsters are apparently contented and remain in their little coops without a cry, gazing through the slats at the passersby—Greeley Cor. Denver Republican. Difficulties of the Historian To obtain history which is literature and history which is accurate depends upon human qualities not often found in the same person. He who has the art of getting at the facts—and it really is quite an art, and difficult enough to master—somehow does not have the art of building his "facts" into a literary structure that pleases, perhaps fascinates, a multitude of readers.—L. A. Chase, Fellow in American History, Michigan, in Outlook. A Thought. I remember a young wife who had to part with her husband for a time. She did not write a mournful poem; indeed, she was a silent person, and perhaps hardly said a word about it; but she quietly turned to a deep orange color with jaundice. A great many people in this world have but one form of rhetoric for their profoundest experiences, namely, to waste away and die. When a man can read, his thought has slackened its hold.—Holmes. "As Dumb as a Fish." "As dumb as a fish" is a saying that does not apply to many species of sea water denzens. The sardine, before it draws its last breath, raises a feeble squeak like the squeak of a mouse. In some fish the vocal organs are sonorous and well developed.-Harper's Weekly. A Variable Condition. "Any malaria around here?" asked the tourist. "Some say they is an' some say they ain't," replied the native. "It 'pears to depend mostly on whether the person enjoys the kind of medicine that that's took fur Much Like New York.

Grace and Bethel, keen rivals who are running neck and neck for the leadership in the Presbyterian brotherhood league, will meet in their first game of the season Saturday afternoon, August 12, at Washington Park. Both clubs realize the importance of taking this game and will put forth their best efforts to win. Bethel has Majors and Washington to select from to do their box work, their opponents having two of the best pitchers on the circuit in Baker and Reeves. Rain caused a postponement in the Grace-Quinn chapel game fast Saturday. Diamond Clippings. The eccentric Bugs Raymond tested his arm a few innings for future use. Duncan made a catch that startled the crowd and had to doff his cap on his way to the bench. Bailey's lady band was a big hit. They played all the latest stuff. Put Dougherty is certainly going some.

THE BURLINGTON CAFE'S CAPITAL PRIZES. The Rarest Given Away Anywhere on the Stroll, Every Thursday Night 21 12 Shows The Defender reporters who left the city on Friday night were much surprised to see four men on the train on their way to Cairo, to come back with them to advertise the Burlington Cafe's buffet. Well, they have just put one over on all the boys in the business. No wonder they are doing such a big business. They are turning stones where others leave them lay. For five months past the Burlington has given away about 2,880 prizes or 240 dozen pieces of useful articles, twelve dozen each Thursday night. So popular has this fad grown that the proprietors, Messrs. Payne & Bolling, in speaking to a reporter for the Defender, said: "We have made up our minds to please the ladies, no matter what the cost. We have decided to give them a souvenir that has value and class. The way to get one is this: After the lady is seated and rested her wraps will ask some one of our polite waiters for the bill of fare. After giving your order, request him to give you your receipt for same. The lady holding the most receipts from Thursday to Thursday will be given the capital prize, in addition to the regular souvenir. The capital prize to be given away at 12 o'clock sharp p. m. If the prize doesn't suit the ladies it will be exchanged for a homestead in Klondyke, Alaska. Collars of Milk. Sounds queer, doesn't it? But somebody over in Europe thought of a way to utilize goat's milk, and these collars are the result. They are said to be quite as useful as the collars of celluloid. In addition, they are less bright in finish, so that they are in this way somewhat of an improvement over the old celluloid collar. The whey is separated from the curds and the curds are then put through a process which results in this substance resembling celluloid. Watters, coachmen, tradesmen and other folk on the other side of the Atlantic use them extensively. Had Grown Out of It Middle-aged graduates of an academy in Auburn, Me., were discussing school days, says the Chicago Post. "What became of that red-headed boy who was so afraid of the girls?" asked one. "He has just been divorced from his fourth wife," said the graduate who had kept up with the times. Date of Columbus' Birth Historians differ as to the date of Christopher Columbus' birth, as well as to the place where he was born. Some have it that he was born in 1436, other in 1437. If the first date be correct he was 56 years of age when he discovered America.

Many a kindly girl has been unfairly characterized as rude or haughty, just because, lacking this particular sort of memory, she has failed to recognize an acquaintance in business life such memory is an important asset and well worth the effort needed to acquire it. It took me some time to learn this, but the lesson was worth while.—Harper's Bazar. Spirit of Sympathy Beware of that bane of social life, evil speaking. Seek for the spirit of love which is the spirit of truth—for you can never know anyone without sympathy or love—and take care how to speak of those who have not yet learned to love. Never talk of other's faults without necessity and avoid those who do—Ruskin.

On the occasion of her first visit to Ireland—In 1849—Queen Victoria wrote of the women of Cork: "The beauty struck us much; such beautiful dark eyes and hair, and such fine teeth; almost every third woman was pretty, and some remarkably so." Of the women of Belfast there was less to be said, nothing more than: "The people are a mixture of nations, and feminine beauty had almost disappeared."—London Chronicle. Awkward Observation Alice's pretty young cousin felt pain, and the handsome physician who happened to be present felt her fluttering pulse with professional solemnity, but more than professional ardor.

When the rack and tear on phy- sique and mental powers by everyday competition for six months—the actual playing season—ts taken Into consi eration, this is a large percentage. When it is also realized that each spring some 600 odd ball players are taken south for spring training by these same 16 clubs, the percentage grows proportionately. ft has been said by those who have made a profession of baseball for years that the average life of the pro- fessional player in the two major Jeagues Is tour years. ‘This’can read- ily be understood when it Is recalled how many athletes are drafted or pur- chased by these clubs, taken. eouth and then fall to show callber enough to oust some seasoned veteran from his regular berth, and are sent back to the minor leagues, ‘There ts still another point of honor to the credit of the 65 favorites who have performed for efght years ‘and more.

Country's Hub Has Moved 31 Miles Northwest During Decade—Monument to Typify Westward and Northward Trend. --- Bloomington, Ind. The center of population of the United States as figured out by the bureau of census at Washington, is one of the wildest spots in Indiana. The center is about four and one-half miles south of Unionville and seven miles east of Bloomington. According to the census of 1900 the center was six miles southeast of Columbus, Ind., and thus, during the last 10 years it has moved seven-tenths of a mile north and approximately 31 miles westward, more than twice the distance westward over the movement of the preceding decade. The westward movement of our population center during the past 120 years is shown as follows: The acceleration of the western movement is attributed to the growth of the Pacific and Southwestern states. Strange as it may seem, the center of such a large and important population comes very near being in Brown county, noted in Indiana as being the state's wildest, and most backward in civilization and development. The center is just over the Brown county line, in one of the most inaccessible parts of Monroe county. Trees and underbrush are so thick that the sun seldom shines on the center and then only a part of the day, for the "cen- INDIANA PORT WAYNE INDIANAPOLIS TERRA HAUTE UNIONVILLE 1911 COLUMBUS 1900 Present Population Center. ter' is in a deep ravine, the banks of which are difficult to climb. As soon as the announcement was made at Washington, Prot. William A. Coghall, professor of astronomy in Indiana university, located in this city, began the work of establishing the center according to the figures given, in order that a monument may mark the spot, as has herefore been done in Indiana, which state has been honored with the distinction of having the center of population within its confines since the census of 1890. Prof. Cogsall had a difficult trip on his preliminary survey and described it as follows: "With the data furnished I drove east of Bloomington six and one-half miles, nearly to the Brown county line. I found the neighborhood of the center to be in an unbroken second growth forest, thick with brush for about two miles. The road up there is perhaps the worst in the state of Indiana. The center itself lies off about a half a mile from the road to a deep gully. it is covered with second growth timber from twelve to fifteen feet high. The growth is so thick that it is almost impossible for a man to make his way through it. Before the center is definitely and finally fixed, it will be necessary to make a night trip to the place so that observations may be taken from the stars." The ravine in which the center is located is typical of Monroe county and Brown county ravines and anyone who has hunted in a gully in this part of the state knows the difficulties to be overcome. Young trees are so close together that sometimes the hunter can hardly squeeze through. The ravine containing the center is a fine time to rubble, squirrels and pheasant burdand at the same time rattlesnakes and spreading the reef are not scarce. In the spring the raines in this part of the county are glow with the bloom of the red bud at the dogwood and birds sing and utply undisturbed. BY HAS TEN GRANDPARENTS Val of an Indiana Infant Causes Rejoicing in Generations of Its Relatives. Noblesville, Ind.-Lorin Grubbs, the day-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Grubbs of this city, would be justified in boasting of his grandparents were it possible for him to do so just now. He has ten, and all of them are living. They are Mr. and Mrs. William Barnes living near here, parents of Mrs. Grubbs; Mr. and Mrs. John Grubbs, parents of Mr. Grubbs; Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sturtevant, great-grandparents on the mother's side, and Mr. and Mrs. John Coy, and Mr. and Mrs. George Groves, great-grandparents on the father's side. The entire family is rejoicing over the visit of the stork at the Grubbs "I contend it pays to read the Bible," said Dave Leahy, secretary to Governor Stubbs of Kansas. "It is good for the morals of every man and woman—and it is a great literature. Also, it pays in other ways. "A good many years ago I was running a paper in a small town in the southern part of the state. My partner was a young fellow who knew about the business and mechanical ends of the plant. I was the editor. It was tough going. One day we got to a place where we had to have tea dollars to get some paper out of the express office or we could not issue our palladium of the liberties of the people thereabout. I had no ten. My partner had no ten. There wasn't a dime between us. However, that was his lookout. I was writing a powerful editorial article and I wanted to use a quotation from the Bible. I looked around the office for one. There was none. So I yelled out to my partner to go and buy a bible at the bookstore near by. He told me he couldn't buy a sandwich—much less a Bible. "Well," I said, "I've got to have a Bible so I can round out this gem of English prose I am composing. Go out and rustle for one." "He started out; and while browsing around, trying to borrow one, he remembered his mother had given him a nice new Bible when he left home. He galloped up to his boarding place, found the Bible and brought it back to the office. "As I was running through the leaves to find the verse I wanted, what do you think I found? A tendollar bill his mother had put there when he left home! That was just enough to take our white paper out of the express office; and the people were thus providently not deprived of their weekly message of cheer, instruction, admonition and advice—which would have been disastrous, for that was a whale of an editorial!"—Saturday Evening Post. Voiced Hla Sentiments The large proportion of voluntary American exiles belongs to the fair sex, but many of them insist on their husbands accompanying them, and these matrimonial martyrs, who come under the heading of the genus "hen-pecked," would greatly prefer to live in America. In this connection an American consul told a story which gives a picture of the hen-pecked husband. It was a Fourth of July gathering in a large hotel and the champagne had passed around when the consul, addressing Mr. A., who had been nine years in Switzerland with his wife without returning to America, said: "You must be delighted when my abroad, as you have remained so once." "Delighted he damned," replied Mr A., looking defiantly at his wife across the table. "I would rather live in hell." The words were uttered in a loud voice and with feeling, and the general silence was broken by the speaker's wife, who, smiling sweetly, said: "My husband is slightly exaggerating the warmth of the place, but you must know we come from Pittsburg." Laughter saved the situation. A Tragle Incident A druggist and his assistant were sadly worried recently. A little girl, probably six years old, wandered in, sobbing bitterly. She was lost. As long as she cried nothing could be done, for she was the only one competent to give the name and address of the lost home. Working under this theory the druggist fed her chocolates to quiet her. It was of no avail, however, for at each question the sobbing was resumed. The tears made light streaks down the little chocolate coated countenance. Finally the mother found her baby. She took the child from the store, and as she stooped to wipe away the visible signs of grief, she asked why the druggist had not been told the name and number. Here is what the listening clerk heard: "I w-w-w-was a f-f-f-raid he'd l-l-laugh!" The druggist realized he had witnessed a tragic episode in the life of a little stutterer—Indianapolis News. Life Rings on a Mountain. An extraordinary example of the way in which a mountain may afford on a small scale an image of the earth's climates, arranged in successively higher circles, has been found in the San Francisco peaks. These ancient volcanoes rise out of a plateau having a mean elevation of 7,000 feet above sea level. The peaks are encircled with zones of vegetation, which run almost like contour lines around them. Between 6,500 and 8,500 feet the yoke and the dominant tree. From 8,500 to 10,300 feet the Douglas fir, the silver fir, the cork fir, and the aspen share the available ground. Between 10,300 and 11,500 feet the Engelmann spruce and 11 fox-tall pine take possession, and ascent to the tree limit.-Scientific American. Facts About Fish. Prof. Harold Russell, the London zoologist, will have none of the popular yarns about the wonderful things fish will do when put to it. He says they are dainful, dumb and virtually color blind. When the calcareous stones are taken out of the ears of fish they lose all sense of equillium and roll about as if crazy. Most fish hunt their food by only defective sight, but the eels have even more defective smell. A conger eel with which Professor Russell experimented devoured with the same avidity fish dosed with cheese, anchovy, camphor spirits, turpentine and lodoform. All Wasted on Him.

GREAT CATTLE KING TOLEDO BY Owns Millions of Acres of Land in Three States. Ranches of Henry Miller Are Veritable Paradises for Tramps—Once Bought All the Sheep in San Francisco, Cal.-The cattle king of the country is Henry Miller, who owns millions of acres in California, Nevada and Oregon. Most of this land is used for cattle and sheep ranges but about 30 per cent, is cultivated, the crops being used to fatten live stock. Cattle raising is his business and he has made a tremendous success of it, and is worth $20,000,000. He buys cattle and sheep and hogs, lean or fat, runs them on his own ranches, shipping them from ranch to ranch to utilize all the grass and stubble, puts his own grain into them, and when they go to market they nlways make a profit. He buys in tremendous quantities. He once ordered his head sheep foreman to buy all the sheep for sale in Nevada at any reasonable price. The foreman bought all but 15,000 head, which were held at five dollars apiece, which he thought was too high. He reported to Mr. Miller in southern California. Without a pause Mr. Miller said "Take the next train to Nevada and buy them." His ranches are models of neatness and order and thrifty management. Every one of them is under Mr. Miller's direct, personal supervision and for forty years he has been traveling from ranch to ranch, inspecting his property, directing the planting of crops and the movement of his herds, buying and selling. Each ranch is managed by a foreman who has subformen for the farming and for the care of the cattle and the sheep. Over several ranches constituting a group is a superintendent. But every ranch is under the constant personal supervision of Miller himself. He visits them at unexpected times and closely examines everything. He regards wastefulness as a crime and everything in and about the ranch HENRY MILLER must be kept in apple pie order if the foreman is to retain his job. The foreman's wife is held responsible for the housekeeping and cooking for the men. Despite his habit of close supervision, he allows great freedom of action to his most trusted higher employees. He is often generous to people who have no claims upon him. The cook at every ranch has orders to feed every person who stops there bengry—and to ask no questions. Anybody who reaches one of his ranches at night may stable and feed his horses, lodge in the ranch house, and eat with the employees, without charge and without question. A man who needs meat may kill a sheep or a calf from Mr. Miller's beef, provided he meat himself and does not sell it. Of the things are more than generosity; they are a protection against the spits of tramps and the deprudations of thieves; but they indicate a pretty broad-minded man, too. He has to make concessions to necessity in other ways; he is known by everybody and he has to travel thousands of miles alone through a wild country. He is frequently held up and robbed in consequence; but he never attempts resistance nor reports such incidents to the officers of the law. If he did, the next man who robbed him would probably kill him, so he usually carries only a little money, and charges the robberies to profit and loss. Once he was robbed in Pacheco pass by a Mexican, who took $200 from him. Mr. Miller knew the man, and reminded him that he was a long way from home and asked the highwayman to lend him enough for expenses. The Mexican handed back a $20 gold piece and disappeared. Several years later Mr. Miller saw him on the street in Hanford and offered him $20. "I borrowed this from you once," he said. "I never saw you before," said the Mexican. "Oh, yes, you did. I borrowed $20 from you in Pacheco pass, three years ago." And he made him take it. But he is a fighter, too. He has "lawed" more, as the old-timers say, than any man on the coast. He employs an attorney in nearly every town near his ranches, and he will fight any legal dispute to the last resort.

E. church Monday evening by the Gladiolus chorus under the direction of Mr. Fred E. Dosey. Judicial Humorist. Judges on the bench have been asaulted. A litigant once threw an egg at the late Vice-Chancellor Malins in an English court. The judge had the presence of mind to duck his head, and at the same time he established reputation as a humorist by remarking as a joke that he intended for his brother Bacon, the vice-chancellor, who was sitting in an adjoining court. Recovered Her Speech. After being speeched two years, as a result of a long illness, Miss Jesse Fishel, of New Orleans, instantly recovered her voice the other day when startled by a vivid flash of lightning and a loud peal of thunder. Seventeen specialists in several cities had tried to restore her voice but with no success. Her father declares the recovery is the result of prayers offered constantly by the family. A big family celebration has been planned. Kingly Titics. Until the year 1800 the English kings also called kings of France, al-ho,ho the last continental possession was lost during the reign of Mary. Until the French revolution of 1789 the French kings styled themselves, among other things, kings of Jerusalem.

Miss Ethel Johnson, our Mayview correspondent, is going exceedingly well in writing up the news of her city every week, but it seems like some of her heart-shaped Friends are trying their level best to crush her under their feet just because she is trying to do something for the building up of the race; but in spite of all her hardships in life she is still going ahead and pushing her way through. It reminds us of the fellow who was on top of a building throwing bricks down on the other fellow to keep him down. The Negro race has been fighting each other ever since their freedom and I think it is high time that they should try to help one another up instead of pulling each other down. As far as I know Miss Johnson, she is a bright, intelligent, self-respecting young lady. I have been acquainted with her and never since she was a small child and never in the history of her life have I heard any one cruelly of her. Miss Johnson is far better a thousand times than many of our girls who are always looking around on the streets after good-for-nothing boys. You can say what to scandalize her fair name as she remains as she is. I think the sermon our beloved pastor, Rev. J. H. Allen of Zion chapel, preached a few Sundays ago concerning hatred and malice should be a guide of many of our people. I am very sorry to say, that we have some of the most ignorant people in our city than any place in the United States. Some people have said that the reporter ought to be sent to prison for life just because he tries to protect our girls and women from good-for-nothing men and boys. Well, if I must go to prison for fighting for right against wrong and telling the truth, then let me go. I have nothing to fear. I would rather die and be buried in a pine box with the truth in my mouth than to die dancing, playing cramps, baseball, etc., on the Suburban day than to be buried in a casket with flowers and have my soul be lost in a fire of lead and brimstone. Miss George E. Johnson is all right and I will always hold her up before the world as a bright, intelligent and self-respecting young lady. Married to St. Louis Mary Mrs. Estella Blackwell left Lexington last week to make her future home in St. Louis, Mo., with her brother and wife, Mrs. Sallie Lee. We all wish Mrs. Blackwell a success and may happy days in her new home. Mrs. Sallie Lee was in our city a few weeks ago to attend the funeral of Mrs. Blackwell's husband and returned to her home in St. Louis last Tuesday, taking Mrs. Blackwell and her children with her. The Defender Branch Office. The Defender Branson Office. I wish to inform the people of Lexington, Mo., that our branch office for this paper is now open at 15 Clinton street. I am now better prepared to do business and to handle your work. All news for publication in this paper must be in the office not later than 11:30 every Wednesday morning. All persons remitting $1.75 to this office for one year's subscription to the Defender will receive free of charge a book of Paul L. Dunbar's life and poems. My aim is to get the people of our city to place a Lexington edition in the paper, such as advertisements, cuts of photos, and all other kinds of business that goes on among the people of our city. We can only do it by placing our ads and business in this paper. Remember, we do not carry any account book, neither do we sell anything on credit. Cash is our motive; all bills must be paid cash in advance or your get no paper. I hope the business people of our city will place their ads in this paper and watch the results. Hurry up and subscribe for the Defender; it is the best newspaper out. Returns. Miss Minnie Meyers returned home to Lexington Thursday morning after spending a few months in Kansas City, Mo.; also Flossie Baird. Mrs. Carle Williams of Higginsville, Mo., came up to visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Harnes, to attend the Hargenck and Wallace circus. To the Men. I wish to announce to the men of Lexington that I am representative and agent for the Knucklebocker tailoring Company of Chicago, Ill. When you are in need of a tailor made suit give me your order for same. We will cut and make you a $35 suit for only $15. Why pay $55 for a tailor made suit when you can get the same from us at $15? We pay the express charges. You examine the goods when they come; if not satisfactory you don't have to pay for them. For amples, styles, etc., see J. H. Arnold, Clinton street. If you can come to office I will call at your time of business. Give me please you or reu r we take all the rie for fall and wi On Business. C. W. Williams, George Sewall and J.

The rain has been quite a blessing to the farmers and people of our city. Three or four heavy rains have fallen during the past two weeks. Did you pray and have faith for it or did you shoot a cannon ball up there and burst the clouds? Mrs. S. H. says prayer and faith brought these heavy rains. I think Mrs. Hayden is correct. Lawn Social. The lawn social given at St. John's M. E. church last Friday night was a success. Mrs. Hannah White was painfully injured last week by sticking a rusty nail in her foot. She is getting along nicely so far but has to use a cane to walk with. We all wish her a speedy recovery. Her many friends are very sorry to hear of the accident. However, Mrs. White is none the worse. Grand Master in Lexington. Hon. J. K. Bruce, grand master of the S. M. T., and U. B. F. lodge, was in our city last week and delivered a pleasing address at Masonic hall in the interest of his lodge and people. The subject of his address is not known as the Lexington people never report anything to Editor Arnold unless it is a scrap or something. Even the pastors and secretaries of the Secedion Baptist and St. John's M. E. churches never think of reporting their Sunday services to this office for publication. And yet some one is always howling because it doesn't appear in the paper. If you can't report your news it will be omitted. All the news published in this column is gathered by the editor himself. Next week, unless a change is made, I will have some articles published concerning our graveyard, better known as Northern Jungles. Mr. Charles J., Williams, a friend of Brownie Allen, is in the city visiting Mrs. Allen. He came to Kansas City Thursday morning and was met at the Union station by Mr. Allen. They spent the day in Independence, Mo., at the grand union picnic. August 4. On Saturday morning they came to Lexington, Mo., where he will be the guest of Messrs. Allen for a week or ten days. We hope he will have a grand time while here. MAYVIEW, MO., SOCIETY AND A WORD FROM NEARBY TOWNS. By Miss E. Johnson. Mayview, Mo., August 11.—Mr. Green Lytton and Mr. Archie Hopkins spent Wednesday evening with Mr. H. Lytton and family. Mrs. Blanche Ray returned home Saturday after a delightful visit with her sister, Mrs. Julius Ray of Kansas City, Kansas. Mr. and Mrs. Horace Lytton spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bradford. Misses Josephine and Catherine Adams of Kansas City are visiting their cousin, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Vaughan. We all wish them a pleasant visit here. Rev. Reeder Rozzell, pastor of the Zion A. M. E. church at Odessa and Mayview, spent Saturday with Mr. Horace Lytton and family. Mr. and Mrs. Herrington and daughter, Miss Edna, of Kansas City are enjoying a pleasant visit out in the country with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Warren. Mr. Charles Bradford, who has been confined to his bed for a week with rheumatism is improving nicely. The members of the Zion A. M. E. church gave a moonlight entertainment Saturday night. A small crowd was present and every one enjoyed themselves nicely. Mr. Alonzo Cole of Lexington attended the moonlight entertainment Saturday night. Mr. and Mrs. William Ray, also Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bradford, spent Sunday evening with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bradford. Mr. William Bowen of Lexington spent Sunday in Mayview with friends, Miss E. Johnson spent Sunday with Miss Fannie Bradford. Miss Pauline Baker has returned home after a few weeks' visit with her aunt, Mrs. A. Collins of Lexington. Mr. Robert Vaughn called to see Mr. Charles Bradford Sunday. Miss Cordella Moore and Mr. George Bowen of Lexington were out driving through Mayview Sunday. WALTERS A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Corner 38th and Dearborn Sts. Rev. H. J. Callis, D. D., Pastor. The woman's home and foreign missionary rally held on last Sunday afternoon was a decided success. Although the audience was somewhat disappointed in the non-appearance of Mrs. Nora Taylor, they seemed to enjoy the short exposition made by the pastor on Isaiah 61:1. The other numbers on the program were also greatly appreciated. Mrs. Callis, the president, and the members desire to thank the many friends who so kindly assisted them in this effort. All the services were well attended and the general offerings were good. Our connectional council and woman's home and foreign missionary annual convention will convene in Knoxville, Tenn., the 11th inst. Miss Lillian I. Browder will attend that gathering from our church. Dr. Tipton, our presiding elder, passed through the city this week en route to South Bend, where he holds his next quarter. At 11 a. m. Sunday Rev. Callis' subject will be "A Clean Heart." At 8 p. m., "A Christian Successful Business Man." The strangers who are visiting our city are very cordially invited to this service. There will be All Up-to-Date Hotel News and News of Bell, Hops. By 8. Adams. Twenty miles north of Pittsburgh is Conneaut lake, the largest body of water in Pennsylvania, with an elevation of 700 feet above Lake Erie. It is $3\% \times 1\frac{1}{2}$ miles, and being pure spring water, abounds in game fish. Upon the western shore is Exposition Park, one of the largest amusement parks in tae country. It maintains fifteen hotels and restaurants, the largest and best of which are the Conneaut and the Virginin, conducted by H. O. Holcomb. David Gibson, head waiter at the Princeton Inn Cafe, has returned from his ramble and scramble in the mountains of Missouri. He returned with the scalp of a goat and the skin of a sheep, but said the bears were so playful he did not have the heart to slay one. Can you beat it? At the Saulpaugh Hotel at Mankato, Minn., the ladies' ordinary and another room have been converted into a new dining room, seating 90 people, which has been handsomely decorated and furnished. The capacity of the house is being enlarged by the conversion of the old dining room into twenty-eight guest rooms. Will some one please enlighten the Defender staff as to the nature of the magnetism that is in the old "show me" state (Missouri?) ? W. E. Butler, another of our boys, is about to meander in the Missouri State. May he return looking "very fit" Butler is second waiter at the Princeton Cafe and is the "candy" as a mikologist. Go on, boys, and let us in on the speeches. The general scheme of French finance is amusingly illustrated in the restaurant waiter. The French waiter is a veritable cornerstone of the national life. He has his regular customers, and calls them "clients." They sit in the same places at the same hour every day; and if a stranger takes one of the seats sacred to a client, he is promptly moved down to some obscure corner of the restaurant, says a writer in the Saturday Evening Post. The strange customer has so little standing that he is often neglected until he shows that he is going to be a fixture. When its regular clients get old enough to die off, a restaurant goes out of business. The waiter knows when the client's digestion is good and when it is bad, and he knows how things are running at home or in the office. He can tell him which dishes are well cooked today and condemn those that are not by a French shrug that says everything. He is the client's friend and conduit, and when funds are low he will extend him credit for a week or a month, paying the bill out of his own pocket each day and accepting a double tip for interest when the client is in funds again. Never be perky, pungent or fresh—the guest pays your salary. He is your immediate benefactor. Every hotel clerk and employee about a hotel will do well to keep this pungent remark in his or her mind. Your own salary as well as the proprietor's depends upon your treatment of the man who pays your salary—the patron. The new Hotel Planter is nearing completion and will be in operation about Sept. first. It will be one of the finest equipped hotels of its size in the city. The hotel will be connected with the New Columbia Thonter. The cafe about to be opened at Van Buren St. and Wabash Ave. we regret to say, will be in the hands of a white crew of waiters. But never the less we look forward to a crew of colored boys filling the cafe in the future. WAYMAN CHAPEL A. M. CHURCH. Woman's day proved to be quite a success at Wayman Sunday. Under the auspices of the North Side Woman's club a good program was rendered. Short talks were made by Mrs. L. E. Stewart, Mrs. Ida Lewis, Mrs. Jennifer, Mrs. L. E. Davis, Mrs. Macon and several others. Sunday, August 13, at the morning service Dr. Jennifer will preach at 11 a.m. A special program of songs, etc. will be rendered at the evening service. On Monday night, August 14, the pastor will give an exhibition or stereopticon illustrated exercises on the subject of "Character and Characters." This will illustrate on canvas life-size views, as well as songs, etc. This will be the event on the north side among religious people. Wayman chapel members have formed a benefit association based upon the active membership of the church. The organization, working through the membership, will begin after the annual conference. A weekly allowance will be given each person in case of sickness. August 29 and 30 there will be a special service from 8 to 10 p. m., known as reunion service. A short sermon will be preached on an important subject, after which a general testimony and registration meeting will be held. The Industrial club had a splendid bazaar. Mrs. Cooper deserves much credit for her excellent work. The Sabbath school will serve refreshments to the scholars Sunday, August 20. Also the cradle roll will have a special meeting for the mothers. Miss Bosley is superintendent of the department. Country's Neglected Opportunity.

Car Passengers Rejoice In SI g Example of Beauty and Dev on to Parents. Father and mother, both elderly, and daughter—they were evidently returning from a bit of an outing at Riverside park. The mother was quite feeble and it was well worth seeing the gentleness and care with which the daughter aided her wavering footsteps as she helped the mother on the car. "Now for you, pop," said the young girl, as she took hold of the father's hand and pulled him on the car, laughing gaily as she did so. The father wore a bronze button at his coat lapel, showing that he was a veteran who had fought for his country. He was somewhat deaf, too, as could be seen, for he put his hand to his right ear as the girl spoke to him. She seated herself between the two and took off her hat. It must be admitted that, though plain and featherless, it was big enough to be in style, and she took it off that mother and father might sit nearer to her. And she talked and talked, better than a paid entertainer, and the old people looked so proud and so happy. The daughter's hair, caught by the breeze, curled about her face most charmingly and it was no trouble at all to see, though she was dressed plainly, ail in white, that she was a very pretty girl; a alight figure, graceful and tall, bending her well-poised head first to one side then to the other as she spoke to mother or to father. What a clear complexion she had, with just a blush in each cheek. About her neck was a string of small beads. A small gilt cross hung from the strand and lay on her bosom. When the car stopped she helped her father and mother to alight, using the same care and gentleness that she had used in helping them to get on, and walking between them gave an arm to each on their way to the sidewalk. "Did yez see that girl?" said a workingman on the rear seat. "Did yez see that colleen? That's the kind we have in Ireland, in County Clare." "I hope," said a quiet man nearby, "that we may have many more like her in this country."—Indianapolis News. Love's Supreme Test "Nobody will set out a woman's garbage can for her but her servant, her husband or her lover." This is not the persistence of a vaudevillist or the epigram of a philosopher or the mockery of a cynic. It is the grave declaration of a referee in a divorce case where it was proved that the defendant husband had not only carried home groceries for the co-respondent, but had looked after the garbage pail. Shakespeare classed the lover along with the poet and the humatic, because they "are of imagination all compact." The referee in this case classes him with the husband and the servant because of a servitude absolute. The argument of the referee in support of his conclusion was quite simple: "A man's affection for a woman," he said, "is shown by his willingness to take trouble on her behalf, to do little the services for her, to do with a willing hand that which a man not in love would deem tiresome, troublesome and disgusting." Then it is not the champagne dinner nor the lobster supper nor the auto ride nor the diamond ring nor even the sonnet nor the offer of marriage that constitutes the supreme test of love. Colony Lives as In the Past Wrapped in the dark superstition of the middle ages, a colony of Russian Cossacks still endearments to hide itself away in Anatolia, Asia Minor, affording a rare field for research for the student of the historical. About 3,000 of the forefathers of these Cossacks left Russia for voluntary axile 350 years ago. Their departure was occasioned by an attempt to enroll their names for census purposes in writing. According to the creed of these peasants, the writing down of their names jeopardizes their chances of salvation, for it involves the curse of Antichrist, enabling him to set his seal upon them. During the whole of this time the Cossacks have kept their identity absolutely intact. They speak a Russian dialect bearing the same relation to the language of the present day as does our modern English to that of Chaucer. They wear the Russian dress of three centuries ago, and even grow herbs, uncultivated elsewhere in Anatolia, to make the dishes that were the food of medina-val Russia. A Tragedy. All was excitement in the Simplerly household, chortles the Philadelphia Times. Ferdie Finklewix was coming from far-off Samoa to claim pretty Sallie Simplerly as his bride. Carefully, and with the light of undying love in her eyes, Sallie Simplerly took Ferdie's seven photographs from the left hand bureau drawer and arranged them on the piano in the parlor. Tanned by the Samoa trade winds, Ferdie strode into the parlor to take his beloved in his arms. "And my seven pictures have been seen a source of inspiration to you while I have grazed over the keys in some melody of love!" he cried, as the simpering seven met his gaze. At that moment little Susie Simplerly entered the room. "O-o-o!" she exhaled in her innocent childish way, "I observe seven likenesses on the piano which I cannot recall having hitherto noticed. "Good night and good-by!" said Fer 'dte Fleinkew. Pheasant Nest In a Tree While walking through a thick wood in the beginning of last week I noticed what I thought was a hawk in its nest on a tall fir tree about 25 feet from the ground. On climbing up to the nest I was much surprised to see a hen phassant pop out onto the branch, and on looking into the nest I saw the bird was setting on nine eggs. I have carefully watched the nest since and every egg has been hatched out. This is the first time in my experience that I have known a phassant nesting at such a height from the ground—The Scotchman. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIVEN IN CHICAGO this Season, in Honor of Benjamin Washington of Washington, D. C., Mrs. Katie Glass-Brothers, Montgomery, Ala., Defender Correspondent, and Mrs. Brown of Indianapolis. Nothing this season has come up to the musical given by Mrs. Samuel Jenkins Carter and her sister, Miss Lizzie Keezel, at their home, 3426 Prairie avenue, on Wednesday afternoon and evening. From the appointed hour to the closing scene in the evening there was one stream of ladies, in autos and afoot, doing honor to two of Chicago's most honored citizens; in helping them to entertain the above ladies who are here to spend a few weeks with relatives and friends. Mrs. Brothers left on Thursday and, on making her report at the Defender office, said, to start with, "We could not equal it in Montgomery, and it is the finest I have attended in any section of the country." The home at 3 o'clock in the afternoon was electric lighted, all curtains having been drawn. Mr. Brawley, ex-head man for Smiley, served, and it was done in style and grace. The ladies all complimented him. Those who assisted Mrs. Carter were Mrs. J. A. Brent, Mrs. Dora Conaway, Mrs. Jessie Smith, Mrs. Sherman Blackwell, Mrs. F. B. Warring and Mrs. Connie Handcock. After the following program, which was 7:30 p. m., a recess of 45 minutes was had, and then thirty ladies and gentlemen indulged in the game of whist: Zampa—Overture. "Ramonda Baller"—Mr. J. Miner. Vinnie solo, "Entretty"—Miss Bertina Wilson. "How Huby Disciple"—Mrs. C. Lewis. "My Hero," "All That I Ask Is Love." Miss Charlotte Hyrum. "How Huby Played"—Mrs. Todd. No solo—Marlon Lee.

Saturday afternoon, July 12, the ladies will give a private picnic in Jackson Park in honor of Mrs. William Brown of Indianapolis, Ind. All members with their visitors and nice full baskets of good things are expected to be on hand and enjoy the afternoon. Do not miss it. Next Tuesday morning at 9:45 the largest crowd of delegates you have seen will be at the Union station. Going to Monmouth to attend the state federation. Be on time. Every one is going, if possible. Do not forget the grand lecture to be given in Bethel A. M. E. church Friday night, August 25. All who have heard Miss Elizabeth Carter, the national president, of New Bedford, Mass, will be there to hear her again and bring all of their friends. She has a charming way of expressing her thoughts and is indeed an eloquent speaker. Do not fail to hear her. Vacation is almost over. We must begin to prepare for winter. We want to see every member in her place the first Wednesday in September, as there is a great deal of work outlined for the various sections. Mrs. Fischer, our president, has her brain full of new plans. Our matron is proving a great drawing card. She is kind and obliging to all and the home has been well kept and filled with girls since her first month's coming. We hope everything will continue to move on in the same harmonious way. ZION FORUM. Strangers who are visiting the city will not get a correct impression of Chicago if they fail to attend the Zion Forum on Tuesday nights. The last session was of a high literary and musical character, an original poem dedicated to the late President McKinley by H. David Murray took the audience by surprise. The splendid paper by J. Van Allen Dorsey on "The Conservation of Natural Resources" was received with a great deal of enthusiasm. The piano solo by Mrs. Eleanor Claytor and the vocal solos by Miss L. E. Ellis of Knoxville, Teenn, and Mrs. Adah Williams of Troy, N. Y., were all of a high order and greatly appreciated, as was shown by the encores. On next Tuesday a paper will be read by Mr. John Van Camp; subject, "Race Prejudice." The ladies of the Forum will serve lemonade and cake to all who come. THE FREE WILL MISSION. The Free Will Mission will give light to those that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death and guide their feet into the way of peace. Come and help us to gather souls in the way of peace; hours of service are from 11 to 12 m. and from 8 to 9 in evenings, at 5617 State St. Home of pastor, 5746 Wabash Ave. $200,000 BANK FOR 31ST AND STATE STREETS. All business seems to be centering around 31st and State Sts., here of late. W. H. Bowers & Co., who have been on the corner for over 20 years has now sprung something new for us in the form of a real bank; the colored people in the vicinity have shown their loyalty to him and be 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. You Would Smile at an English Gas Range They call it a cooker. In this country a Gas Company must carry over 40 different shapes of ranges. In London they have but one—a boxlike affair with a deep oven that extends from surface burners to the floor. The roast hangs on a hook and the drippings fall through the bottomless oven into a pan that sets on the floor underneath. From our point of view it is rather a crude, insatiant affair. Yet there are almost threequarters of a million of them in use in London. Without question Chicago housewives have all the best of it. We think our new "Composite" type of gas range is "miles ahead" of anything they have in Europe. Or "miles ahead" of anything in the range line ever built in this country. The "Composite" range makes it possible to cook a meal of seven sorts of food all at once with one and the same fire. Thus saving much time and fuel. No kitchen is complete without a range of this type. We explain the good points of the "Composite" and the small payment selling plan at our downtown or any of our many outlining stores. Or we will be pleased to send you our illustrated catalogue on request. The Peoples Gas Light & Coke Company, Peoples Gas Building, Michigan Boulevard. Mme. T. D. Perkins Madam T. D.

The delegate at the Second Baptist church last Friday evening was the treat of the season. The subject was, "Resolved, That commercial education was more beneficial for the Negro than industrial education." The speakers, who were all good orators, held their audience spellbound. The negatives won. A dispatch was received this week from Mr. Major Hammell, who is visiting friends in Birmingham, stating that he was having the time of his life. He is now in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

The choir of Mt. Zion church, with a number of the other members of the church, accompanied the pastor to Glencoe at 3 p. m. The occasion was a financial rally. Rev. E. H.

And again Ebenezer was crowded last Sunday morning and at night the gallery was even crowded, with several standing or sitting on the steps leading to the gallery. The pastor preached about "The Three Hebrew Worthies," to which the vast audience listened with great interest, at the conclusion of which two persons united with the church. It would be a great convenience to the ushers and save the pastor no little annoyance if the members and friends who come early at Ebenezer would take the front seats. The pastor actually had to stop his sermon Sunday night until the people found seats. Nobody it seems wants to go in the gallery. Service begins promptly at 11 o'clock in the morning and at eight at night. You had better come early. The choir will be augmented or assisted Sunday night by the gifted young Norton E. Dennis of Kansas City, who is a very fine pipe organist and pianist. He will render two numbers, one on the organ and one on the piano. Mr. Norton Dennis has for years been one of the organists of Allen chapel, Kansas City, and was for some time the accompanist for a concert company, and will continue his studies in music at the Northwestern this fall and winter. He will be a happy addition to the music lovers of Ebenezer. The Sunday school picnic will be held at Riverview park next Thursday. Let everybody go and enjoy a good day with the children. The pastor will preach Sunday morning and night. --- The singing of Mr. Jones Sunday morning was a special feature. He sang "Calvary" very sweetly. Rev. Horace Talbert delivered a fine sermon before that great audience Sunday morning at Ebenezer. He was wonderfully surprised to see such an audience in the morning. He came in just before the pastor entered the pulpit to preach and was as a great a surprise to the pastor as he was to the audience. But, my! what a sermon he did preach. Mrs. V.

To the happy surprise of all the little Misses Kathryn Twiggs, Sadie Jennings and Ethel Smith came in the lecture room and proceeded to set up a long beautiful table. Around this festive board the guests were invited and served with a delicious repast. Mr. Twiggs had planned this pleasant affair in honor of his birthday anniversary and the birthday cake was lovely, only a trifle small, as only forty candles were accommodated. Some one inquired as to where the other — (?) were. During this festal hour a heart-to-heart talk was had relative to the betterment of our fast growing school. The teachers have banded themselves together and will make Ebenezer an ideal school. Mr. Albert Jones kindly rendered a solo by request and all left with good wishes for Mr. Twiggs and Ebenezer in general. The Julia Gaston Woman's club gave a lawn social at the home of Mrs. J. E.

A very large crowd attended and they seemed to enjoy themselves. Captain Jerry Reed made arrangements so that everybody could have a good time. This Is Slumber Land Here is a story about the soothing quality of Flatbush air, says the Brooklyn Eagle. Newcomers to Flatbush notice first of all that they don't seem able to get sleep enough. At first they have an idea that perhaps it's the malaria, but it is only the heavy sea air which induces slumber. A new resident in Flatbush asked some friends of his in the district if the experience was a common one. "Oh, yes," was the reply, "that is the case with everybody who moves here. A certain woman who lives not far from Eighteenth avenue started to make three beds one morning at nine o'clock. At seven o'clock that night she had not yet made the third. 'The beds looked so inviting and I was so tired,' she explained, 'that whenever I came to one I lay down and slept on it.'" Preaches Annual Sermon What is known locally as "The Vegetable Sermon" was given recently by the bishop of Stepney, England, in Shoreditch church. The origin of the sermon goes back almost two centuries. Thomas Fairchild, a Hoxton gardener, who died in 1729, bequeathed a sum of money for the purpose of paying a preacher to deliver a lecture in the church "in the afternoon of Tuesday in every Whitsun week." The lecture must be one of the two following subjects: "The Wonderful Works of God in Creation" or "The Certainty of the Resurrection of the Dead, as Evidenced by Changes in the Animal and Vegetable Parts of the Creation." The lecture was first preached in 1730 and has been delivered annually ever since. Fattening Foods. White bread is fattening because we rarely digest it completely. Starchy foods are quite unaffected by the gastric juices which digest the meats. Their digestive ferments are obtained chiefly from the saliva in the mouth, which therefore should be thoroughly mixed with each mouthful before swallowing. But white bread is so soft and lacking in substance that we unconsciously swallow it long before it has had a fair chance to become sufficiently fermented with the digestive saliva. The result is delayed digestion (if digestion takes place at all), and at the best the starch is very apt to be converted into disfiguring, unwanted and unhealthful fat. Old Maine House. One of the oldest houses in Winthrop is the old Morton stand on "Turkey lane." The name may not be familiar to present residents of the town, but Turkey lane was no dream to a past generation. Its old nomenclature is derived from the fact that prior to the war all the residents of the highway over the crest of the ridge owned and raised turkeys and over 100 gobbler each year gobbled their living here until a fateful Thanksgiving removed them from earth. The old Morton house stands just at the turn of the road and is about 130 years old.—Lewiston Journal. Scientific Phenomenon While a plumb-line may be straight it is, curiously enough, not always vertical. Irregularities of density in the crust of the globe may produce this phenomenon. A remarkable instance in point was found in the island of Porto Rico, where the deviation from the vertical is so great that in mapping the island the northern and southern coast lines, as shown in the older maps, had each to be moved inward half a mile. Sherbet From Violets Sherbet made of extract of violets was much esteemed in the east and Mohammed is reported to have said of it that it surpassed all other extracts. In some parts of Europe it is customary to mingle violets, roses and lime blossoms with preserves to add a flower element to the fruity flavor. In Egypt and Turkey violets are used in making sherbet, as mint is employed in juleps in Kentucky. ```markdown ``` A novel plan has been adopted by the parishioners of Hanwell (Eng.), in order to raise funds for a new church organ.

Debt All Humanity Ours Such help as we can give each other in this world is a debt we owe each other—Ruskin. ON THE FUNNY SIDE Father's Fun. A young married pair have a child who has just reached the age when its hands are simply way stations to its mouth—things reaching the former being sure to reach the latter and in the shortest possible space of time. The father of this infant is forced, for business reasons, to travel a great deal, and always has a mileage book on hand. This the youngster found one day and proceeded to devour. When he was discovered he had used, alas, about 500 miles. The mother at once told her husband of the baby's destructiveness, and quick as a flash he responded: "Really, my dear, don't you think that's going a little too far" HIS REMUMERATION GEIN MAR STER Friend—Not much; you will be able to be around again in a few days, I imagine.

GIRL WALKS IN HER SLEEP Young Woman Anxious Over Result of Brother's Examination Wakes Up at Home of Teacher. Pittsburg, Pa.—Imbued with the spirit of the evening when the probable results of the school examinations were the burden of expectant anxiety throughout Pittsburg, Miss Fronia Jennings, aged nineteen, daughter of E. C. Jennings of 320 Sycamore street, business manager of the South Hills News, carried her impressions through dreamland and woke up the other morning in a neighbor's house after a perilous sleep walk. Miss Jennings had taken much interest in the fortunes of her brother Paul, aged thirteen, a pupil at the Mount Washington school, who betrayed much unrest the other evening because of the uncertainty of passing his "exam" for high school promotion. The family had discussed the subject freely during the evening and retired to await the news of the morning. But their slumbers were disturbed shortly after midnight by a message from the home of Miss Grace hawk of 48 Natchez street, who is teacher in the Mount Washington school, saying Miss Jennings had reached there and had been carefully put to bed. Miss Jennings had arrived at the Hawk home about 1 a.m., still traveling in Slumberland, clad only in her night robes. Her first inquiry at the Hawk home was: "Did Paul pass?" Miss Jennings' journey was not altogether roseate. She traveled about eight squares in her bare feet over a rugged path, twice crossing the tracks of the Mount Washington Tunnel car line, but says she feels no ill effects and was happy in the knowledge that "Paul passed." CAPTURE TWO VICIOUS BIRDS Two Immense Seafowl Caught After Struggle by California Fisherman —Made Flerce Fight. Los Angeles, Cal.—Two vicious sea birds of immense size, entirely unknown to naturalists of this section, were caught off the pier at Long Beach, and will be carefully kept until possible identification can be made. Their wing measurement is 7 1-2 feet from tip to tip, the bodies are brown and the heads white, with sharp, powerful hooked bills seven inches long. No seafaring man or fisherman here ever saw anything like them before. The birds were taken by R. H. Floyd while angling for yellow tail. He used large live minnows for bait, and one of the birds seeing it trailing through the water, swooped down and seized the fish. It became hooked and made a violent struggle to free itself, but did not succeed. Its mate dropped out of the sky and flew to its aid, becoming itself entangled, and both were hauled up. They made fierce attacks on bystanders, who had to clear away, and were cleared from the line and caged after a hard struggle. HE IS HEIR TO MICE MONEY Floor Repairer Finds Roll of Bills Only Partly Chewed—Thousands of Dollars in Lot. Trenton, N. J.-In repairing the floor of an old house he recently bought, Patrolman Patrick Kerwick found hidden between joists a large roll of bills. Many of them had been chewed by mice, but that did not prevent Kerwick recognizing the $100 mark on them. How the money got there is a mystery, but it is supposed the house formerly was owned by somebody who distrusted banks and who died without having confided the secret to anybody. Kerwick says he will send the chewed bills to the treasury department for redemption. He did not reveal just how many thousands of dollars were in the lot. LAUGHED WAY TO HOSPITAL Amusing Scene at Picture Show Gives Man Hysteria—Necessary to Strap Him to a Cot. Philadelphia.—For the third time in as many monthes Clarence Edwards, 17 years old, was a patient at Cooper hospital with laughing hysteria. Attending a moving picture show, Edwards was so tickled at an amusing scene thrown on the screen that when he began laughing he was unable to stop. Even after leaving the show house his guffaws continued, and when he grew hysterical an ambulance was summoned. In his hysteria Edwards fought the ambulance crew, and he became so strenuous at the hospital that it was necessary to strap him to a cot. An hour elapsed before he became quiet. Cost of Twins Increased Manchester, Conn.—The physicians of this city have organized a medical and surgical trust and have arranged a scale of prices for specific services. The price for the amputation of one toe or finger is $10, with $5 for each finger or toe additional. It will cost the family $5 more to have twins than babies one at a time. 42 Inches Tall. Welches 88 Knoxville, Tenn.—Joseph A. Carter, smallest adult in Tennessee, is dead at his home in Jefferson county. He was 73 years old, 42 inches tall and weighed 58 pounds.
