By Mrs. J. H. Wright. When will the colored people wake up? Nearly every paper you pick up gives an account of some injustice done to some member of the Afro-American race. Yet it seems that unless it is a personal grievance the rest of the colored people stand inert while insult upon insult is heaped upon some poor unfortunate who has the misfortune to possess a black face. As in the case of I. M. Willway, who was attacked by a mob of white ruffians and police officers because he tried to protect a nephew from more serious injury who had already been struck by those white boys. This boy's only offense was sitting on his uncle's doorstep and not molesting any one. And when his uncle interfered to protect his nephew from those white ruffians, sons of a Negro hating policeman named Granger, who unblushingly boasts of the time that he arrested colored people who dared to tread the soil east of State street and who now says he will keep them off if it costs his life. ubusive Mrs. Willway and a neighbor or friend of hers went in and closed the door. Then the Granger, family left. All of this occurred on Sunday evening when this boy relative of the Willways was not even there. But on Monday, when the boy was at his uncle's house sitting on the steps those same white ruffians without one word of warning struck him. It was at this juncture that the uncle interfered and tried to protect the boy. It would appear that this policeman must have been close by (possibly a prearranged affair), for he came rushing up, hatless and coattail, and struck Mr. Willway with a piece of wood about two feet long and three or four inches wide. Mr. Willway had used that same stick to drive those boys away and had dropped it. That was the deadly weapon that they claimed Mr. Willway assaulted the boys with, and when the matter was sifted down it developed that those boys had brought that deadly weapon there themselves. The no abusive Mrs. Willway and a neighbor or friend of hers went in and closed the door. Then the Granger, family left. All of this occurred on Sunday evening when this boy relative of the Willways was not even there. But on Monday, when the boy was at his uncle's house sitting on the steps those same white ruffans without one word of warning struck him. It was at this juncture that the uncle interfered and tried to protect the boy. It would appear that this policeman must have been close by (possibly a rearranged affair), for he came rushing up, hatliness and coattless, and struck Mr. Willway with a piece of wood about two feet long and three or four inches wide. Mr. Willway had used that same stick to drive those boys away and had dropped it. That was the deadly weapon that they claimed Mr. Willway assaulted the boys with, and when the matter was sifted down it developed that those boys had brought that deadly weapon there themselves. The policeman held Mr. Willway while his boys beat him. And, although there were a number of colored citizens standing around, not one voice was raised in protest. This policeman had not even a star on to indicate his authority yet, when he called for assistance, the people fell over themselves responding to his call. Among those who responded was a policeman in full uniform, star and all, and he was so intoxicated that he could hardly keep on his feet and only did so by the use of the railing in front. He was no help at all. Had he been sober God alone knows what the result would have been. As a rule people do not care to become involved in a fight or any trouble where they are not personally concerned, but we owe it to one another as a down trodden race to protest as vigorously as possible without clashing with the law and to me it seems most cowardly indeed for a number of colored citizens to stand around and be cowed by an ununiform officer and his ruffanly sons and a drunken brother officer. Truly, it is no wonder that we are laughed at and scorned and treated so unjustly. We lower ourselves by such examples of cowardice. Can any Negro get fairness in our courts? When they are brought before the bar of justice by such an officer as this man Granger, who would not hesitate to misrepresent any Negro who had the mistrust to incur his anger? The Lion, the liger, the eagle, the dove, and every creeping reptile that inhabits this earth protects its young. Then why should a parent or relative because his skin is black be beaten and thrown in prison because he tries to protect his own? Can any race of people boast of supremacy who takes advantage of its strength to crush and trample down the weak? The colored people are still weak and never will grow strong unless they unite. It is time they did so. Their ends and aims should be as one. They should demand the removal of this man Granger from the police force. I talked personally with Mrs. Willway and she assured me that her nephew, Mathew Hite, had not had any unpleasantness with those men who called themselves boys to escape punishment. One of them is twenty-one years old. Some other boys had trouble with the Granger boys, and they were pursued so closely that as Mrs. Willway's door stood open they darted in her house and kept on to the rear of the building and made their escape. She did not know any of them. Then those boys, the policeman's sons, started home after abusing Mrs. Willway. Meeting their father they all came back and she was subjected to more insults and abuse, the father joining; and this man of the law, who had sworn to make war on crime and criminals, threatened to murder those boys then and there if they would come out. But, as I said previously, the boys had made good their escape and when this policeman and his family became so We will never rise in the estimation of any race of people as long as we stand like a lot of dumb driven cattle while we are being kicked and knocked about without one word of protest. The colored man is and always has been a law abiding citizen. Then let him demand protection by the laws accorded any other citizens. There is no necessity to go around with deadly weapons to emphasize those demands. Take them to the courts of justice and demand fair treatment and see to it that the same law that affects and protects the white man shall effect and protect the black man. WIVES OF THE BETA BOULE EN TERTAIN IN HONOR OF THE VISITING WIVES OF THE SIGMA PHI PI. Omaha, Neb., Sept. 8.-Among the most prominent citizens and business men in Omaha is Mr. Thomas H. Adams, who is in the real estate business with an office in the Kerbach block. One of the most enjoyable and unique affairs ever given in Chicago was given on last Wednesday evening, Sept. 6, by the wives of the Beta Boule of Chicago in honor of the visiting wives of the Sigma Phl Pl at the residence of Mrs. C. B. Eentley, 529 East 41st street. All who were fortunate enough to receive an invitation were present and spent an evening long to be remembered. The lady members are: Mesdames C. E. Bentley, R. A. J. Shaw, R. L. Taylor, E. H. Morris, George Walker, F. A. Denison, W. F. Garnett and Mrs. McGhee of St. Paul, Minn., who was represented by her daughter, Miss Ruth. The honored guests were: Mrs. Wm. McCard, Mrs. Harry McCard, Mrs. Ralph Cook and Mrs. Anna Wright of Baltimore, Md. The editor and reporters endeavored to gain some information relative to the business meeting of this society, which was held at Odd Fellows hall, but were unsuccessful. Although a secret society it is a matter of news as to where the next meeting will be held and who was elected president. Mrs. Mary Overall, one of Omaha's prominent citizens, left for Chicago last week. Will also visit New York and other eastern cities. Mount Morlah Baptist church choir is improving wonderfully in view of the fact that it is yet in its infancy. Among the railroad men: Mr. J. O. Woods, the well known Pulman porter, is now running between Omaha and Yellowstone Park. Mr. Charles Tremble of Omaha, who has been indisposed for ten days, has recuperated and resumed his duties on the U. P. R. R. Mr. Allen Sawyer of Topeka, Kan., is visiting friends and relatives in Omaha. Mr. T. S. Muldrew, buffet porter en route from Omaha to Portland, Ore., has won many friends by his kind and genial disposition. The cosy residence of Mrs. I. F. Ellott, 2605 Grant street, was brilliantly lighted and handsome decorated with ferns and growing plants Monday evening, Aug. 28, the occasion being the marriage of her daughter, Miss Lucille Ellott to Mr. F. D. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` AN ITEM OR TWO FROM OMAHA --- 211 CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1911. Jackson. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. F. Botts of Zion Baptist church. The bridesmaid was Miss Cassie Chancelor. Mr. Leo L. McKenny was best man. At 10:30 luncheon was served, which consisted of all the delicacies of the season, after which the bride and groom went automobiling, through the hospitality of Messrs. H. M. Crook and Everett G. Washington. Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Jackson will reside with the bride's mother for the present, 2005 Grant street. Omaha, where they will be pleased to receive their many friends. A VISITOR FROM ALASKA. Mrs. S. E. Robinson Travels from Alaska to Spokane, Wash., to Complete $50,000 Deal—Travels 275 Miles on Dog Train—Surprises Brother With Visit. Tuesday night Mr. and Mrs. Martin Green entertained at their residence in honor of Mr. Green's sister, Mrs. S. E. Robinson of Eagle, Alaska. There was a large attendance and James' stringed orchestra furnished the music. Mrs. Robinson's visit was a surprise and came about in this way: Mr. Robinson was in Spokane arranging for the sale of some property to a railway company but Mrs. Robinson was not satisfied with the price offered and travelled all the way from Alaska to Spokane to assist her husband and succeeded in getting $50,000 more than the original offer. Two hundred and seventy-five miles of the journey was made by dog train. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson are in the laundry business and in a talk with a Defender reporter they quoted the following as the popular prices for laundry work in Alaska: Collars, 10 cents each; negligee shirts, 35 cents; shirts, 25 cents; pleated shirts, 40 cents; handkerchiefs, 5 cents; pillow cases, 10 cents; sheets, 20 cents. Ladies' clothes are much higher. 1,000 CHILDREN OUT OF SCHOOL 1,000 CHILDREN OUT OF SCHOOL Lax Methods of Homes the Cause—No Truant Officers in Our Districts. Would you think that a mother who had to dig and scrub for a living, or get it the very hardest way, would permit her children to stay out of school under the guise of "going to work?" Well, there are 365 families along Armour avenue, La Salle and Dearborn streets, from 12th street to 54th street, who are permitting their sons and daughters to run the streets and tell them all kinds of lies about going to school. Not only the little ones, but many of our young ladies and gentleman are not returning to high school under the pretext of having to work. The boys and girls in Georgia work for their board and clothes to get a chance to go to school and their mothers make a tremendous sacrifice to help them. But the northern woman has not awakened to her duty. She helps to keep her boy a saloon porter and her girl a street walker if she does not make them go as well as learn a trade. A high school diploma is a trade. A high weight in gold to any boy or girl. It shows you have accomplished one real hard life's problem and by this sign and this alone you can conquer. COLORED PEOPLE ADMITTED IN ALL PARTS OF EVANSTON THEATER. Jim Crow Jail in Chicago. The management of the Evanston theater came into camp with a flag of truce begging mercy of the butler of the Northwestern railroad president, Dr. and Mrs. Garnett, and Attorney Auter for trying to keep them out of a decent place to sit in their playhouse. Those black skunks -who don't want to go where they are not wanted will now have to take a back seat. The educated Negroes will fight for their state of Illinois rights; at the same time they have not lost sight of the fact that a private place, or the white man's parlor is his private business, and they don't want to enter it or seek his company unsolicited. We have common sense—see! Jim Crow Jail. The next step Chicago Negroes must take is to knock the Jim Crow jail out of Chicago. Do you know that there is a jail for Negroes and one for white criminals in your very doors? Do you know that it is against the law to have it? Do you know that it is an insult to the race? Then stop it. Just think, an aristocratic jail for white folks. Where is the punishment? WILL DISCUSS RACE CONGRESS. NOTED KENTUCKY JOCKEY DROPS DEAD James Perkins, Known the World Over as "Supe" Perkins, Dies in Hamilton, Canada. RODE MANY NOTED HORSES. Made $20,000 a Year and Owned a Large String of Horses—Was Never Censured for Crooked Work. It is with profound regret we report the sudden death on Aug. 17 of James Perkins, better known as "Supe" Perkins, of Lexington, Ky. Mr. Perkins was at one time the foremost jockey on the American continent. At the age of eleven years he began what was a most brilliant career as a rider on the turf and before his eighteenth year "Supe" was drawing a salary of $10,000, which increased in five years to a salary of $20,000 per annum. Among his 300 winning races are the St. Louis derby, which he won on Prince Derby in 1896 and the Kentucky derby, which was won on Halma in 1897. For many years he was the holder of the ribbon of premier jockey of America and had ridden for August Belmont, Fleischman of St. Louis, Barney McClelland and many other prominent horsemen. He owned at the time of his death many valuable race horses and was one of the best known sporting men of Lexington, Ky. Mr. Perkins was one among the few jockeys of his time that one could place implicit confidence in. During his many years of riding he was never called to the judges' stand for crooked work. He was a gentleman in every particular. His "word was his bond" and he lived up to it. His death is regretted by friends of both races. Mr. Perkins and wife were in Hamilton, Canada, to spend their vacation and incidentally to take in the summer meet of the Hamilton Jockey club. And it was after attending to some business for his wife that he complained of "feeling so queer," having hardly uttered the words before the Angel of the Lord called "Supa" home, and we have one less shining light among us. The deceased was 33 years of age. Heart disease was the cause of his sudden death. He leaves a wife and one son, also a host of friends and admirers, to mourn him. The remains will be taken to Lexington for burial. GREAT EXCITEMENT AT ELITE CAFE. There was great excitement at the Elite cafe on Sunday evening at 8:30 just at a time when churchgoers and sightsweers were in the 30th block on State street. Seeing the people fall back from the sidewalk and then surge back again, our reporter made his way through the crowd to the door of the cafe, placing his hands on the door it flew open and there stood two real Chinamen with hatchet in hand trying to make Mr. "Tenan" Jones understand that they meant to chop suey his cafe'. Mr. Jones, in one of his famous smiles, asked the Defender reporter what in thunder the men meant. Touching Low Hip John on the hip, he began speaking in the language of the Sooling, which caused a stir. Our reporter found out that Mr. A. F. Codozode had given them permission to open their kitchen in the house for the use of 1,800 they entertained last Sunday afternoon and evening. TWENTIETH CENTURY HAIR DRESSING On last Wednesday, Sept. 6, Madame Parker opened a twentieth century hair dressing and shampooing school at 3437 State street, also parlor where patrons can be waited upon by the most skilled and able hair dressers. Mrs. Parker, as many of us already know, needs no introduction to the public as a hair dresser. Since the addition of a school department she has taken this means to let the many friends and patrons know of the addition to the business already established. THE M'CARDS VISIT CHICAGO. Dr. and Mrs. Harry McCard of Baltimore, Md., arrived in the city Saturday for a visit with relatives. They will be the guests of their sister and brother, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Smith, 3552 Rhodes avenue. Mr. and Mrs. William McCard of Baltimore, Md., arrived in the city Saturday for an indefinite stay. They will stop with Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Carter, 3426 Prairie avenue. Mrs. Grace Wilkins will be remembered as one of Chicago's most popular young-women during her single life. Mrs. Wright of Baltimore, Md., will accompany the McCards to our city for an indefinite stay. She will be at 3426 Prairie avenue. COLORED LADIES (?) DRAW CLOTHES LINE, A Chicago Defender reporter encountered a new phase of the color question this week when he learned how a number of women left a public place when another member of their sex came in, all because she was not dressed as fine as they were. This incident happened early this week in the palatial parliors of Madame Win- chester's Employment Bureau, 3223 State street. Several women neatly dressed had been waiting for some time looking for a job, when another woman whose attire showed she was not afraid of hard labor came in and sat beside these well dressed women. Their remarks were not at all complimentary and the newcomer was very much embarrassed, finally declaring that they could not remain in the same room with a woman dressed as she was. They filed out in a bunch. The deserving woman got a job, while the others are "still looking for work and praying that they won't find it." MISS MOSELEY APPOINTED VIS- ITING NURSE. Miss Evelyn Moseley received appointment from the School Board as visiting nurse in the city schools. She is placed in a district where all the pupils are white. There were 50 trained nurses who took the examination as applicants for public school work. Only 12 passed, with Miss Moseley as third in the list. The Good Samaritans. The Douglass Center sent 27 mothers and children to the Gad's Hill Encampment at Lake Bluff, IL, during August, in charge of Miss Barksdale of the Visiting Nurse Association. These children were selected from the most needy families who would not otherwise have had an outing. We are indebted to Miss Tallahosio Smith for arranging the party. IN MEMORIAM. CALDWELL—Mack H. In loving remembrance of my dear son who died three years ago, Sept. 9, 1908: Sweet memories to you, brother dear. Whose voice is hushed forever here; But may we meet in realms above; Where all is peace and joy and love. From Mother, Sister, and Father. CHICAGOANS MAKE GOOD IMPRESSION CHICAGOANS MAKE GOOD IMPRESSION Visitors from Windy City Highly En- Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 8—Being now a resident of Indianapolis, but having lived in Chicago many years, I am naturally interested in the people of my old home and I am certainly proud of the showing that Chicago made at the encampment here. The people who came here represented the highest and best of your town and I think it is the first time that the social side of Chicago was represented in such numbers. At the camp were Mrs. R. R. Jackson and Miss Estia Arnold, who left on Friday afternoon for home, Mrs. Jackson intending to go in camp with the Major at Springfield, Ill., on Saturday with the Eighth Regiment. The parade, which was to have been on Thursday was postponed on account of rain and the Eighth band was ordered home on Friday by Col. Marshall. Therefore they were sadly missed from the parade. Chicagoans scattered through the parade were Maj. Jackson, Col. Marshall, S. A. T. Watkins, Dr. A. A. Wesley, Hon. Ed. Green and others, Dr. Mervin Bibbs having started for home at 2:45 a.m. I know nothing of the Supreme sessions, therefore can make no comment. Mrs. Connie Curl, grand secretary of the Order of Calanthe, was much in evidence, and after the sessions were over took a run to Cincinnati to visit her sister. The largest and most select affair was given by Mrs. Belle Davis on Wednesday night, at which I noticed the following Chicoans: Mr. and Mrs. P. B. Waring, Mr. and Mrs. S. Watkins & Son, Mesdames Martha B. Anderson, Melissa Henderson, Gertrude Bolay, Grace Alexander, M. Bradley, Dr. Olive Officer and Miss Estella Arnold, Major and Mrs. R. Jackson. These and many more attended the ball on Thursday, which was not such a large affair as was expected. A number of dinners and receptions were given each day, one of the largest being given by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Smith of 1616 Yandes street. It was the annual family reunion, held last year in Michigan, and 1912 will be held in Chicago. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. A. Binden and Mr. and Mrs. A. Bush of Lima, O., Mrs. M. Henderson, Dr. M. Bibbs, Dr. Olive Officer, Dr. T. S. Officer, Dr. A. A. Wesley, Mrs. L. Newman of Chicago, Mrs. Ida Smith and daughter of Vancouver, B. C., Mr. Grant Smith, Cleveland, Mr. Lewis Binden, Jackson, Mich., Miss Bertha Smith and Mrs. Gertrude Bolay, who is guest of Mrs. Smith. On Friday night the grand prize drill was given at the Coliseum with every available space filled. Louisville took the prize. Saturday Mrs. Wright of Yondes street gave a reception but I noticed only two Chicoans, Mrs. Bolay and Mrs. Worthington, all the rest having taken their departure. Monday Mrs. Garrett of Terre Haute, Ind., gave a dinner at the Parker house, followed by a theater party, after which Mr. Hayes Wilson entertained the party at the Sumner club. Composing the party were Mrs. A. Bland of South Bend, I. Smith, Vancouver, Mrs. G. Bolay, Chicago, Mrs. A. Bush, Lima, O., Miss Ella Lewis and Mrs. Garrett. Mrs. F. T. Thompson of Senate was MR.

Lewis, 25 West 36th street, some of these fresh conductors would soon learn how to treat respectable members of the race with the respect due American citizens. August 8 Mr. Lewis and several other passengers of color were traveling over the Soo line from Chicago to Saskatoon Lake, Canada, in a first class coach when the conductor whispered to Mr. Lewis that it would be to his advantage to go into another car. He intimated that inasmuch as they were not allowed to ride in the same car with white people in Oklahoma they should not expect to do it on that line. It is a known fact that there are no separate cars on this line and Mr. Lewis refused to get out of the car. Some of the other passengers wanted to vacate to avoid trouble but Mr. Lewis stood his ground and rode to his destination in the seat that he had paid for. The cowardly conductor shunk away like a whipped dog. He knew that he was wrong and was surprised to find a man who knew his rights and had the courage to back them up. Mr. Lewis told the conductor that the last hostess with a reception on Tuesday at which Mrs. Bradley was the only representative of the Windy City. The officers of the Supreme lodge were entertained at a stag at the palatial home of Mr. Hart. We were sorry indeed that the time was not longer but the memory of the pleasant times will last forever. AN OLD RESIDENT. MRS. NETTIE COCKREN LAID AT REST IN BOONVILLE, MO. Mrs. Nettle Cockran, of 5743 Washah avenue, who died rather sudden, was taken to her home for burial. Mr. Hill and Mr. Cockran and Mrs. Hattle King, undertaker, accompanied the body. Mrs. King was praised very highly by the undertaker who took charge of the body at Boonville, as being a very practical and proficient at the business. The undertaker at Boonville was white. RESERVE YOUR SIT DOWNS AT SETT'S AT ONCE. Mr. Charles Sett, 3132 State street, was surprised on Friday evening when a telephone call came over wire Aldine 2688 asking for seats to be reserved on the night of Mme. Azalia Hackley's concert, whose ad appears in this paper. Thinking he was through he returned to his desk when his other phone, Aldine 1824, rang and asked for two reserved seats. Then Mr. Sett got wild and called the Defender up and told of the calls and who they came from, we were satisfied that there was something in it. He says he will also reserve seats for the Bert Williams matinee at the Pekin on Tues- LETTER TO THE EDITOR Judging from the recent disturbances that have been created, over the discrimination against the Negro, one would think that enjoying civil rights in America by the Negro was an impossibility. Nevertheless I will make this assertion, that when the white man closes his doors upon the Negro patron he not only effects or makes possible a blockade on the general income of his establishment but he reminds the Negro of his duty to smother that ever-burning and universal flame of prejudice that has existed since the eighteenth century. And sooner or later it must be checked or it may prove detrimental to the progress and welfare of the entire Negro race. THE VOLUNTEERS AT WORK. The Volunteer Workers' club held its first meeting of the season at the home of Regina Johnson, 452 East 37th street. Reports were read from the state and city federation. The Volunteers take great pride in the work they have accomplished in the past year and are ready and eager to make this year's work more successful. After business was transacted the hostess served a very inviting luncheon. The club will meet Sept. 13 at the home of Mrs. Mattie Wright, 450 East 37th street—Mrs. C. Johnson, president; Mrs. M. E. Bish, secretary; Mrs. L. H. Webster, editor. The Defender is the only paper that keeps a lookout on the interest of the race.

Even Gov. Vardaman could not make him move and for him not to whisper to him but to talk loud so every one could hear him. Mr. Lewis immediately notified the Chicago Defender, for he said that he knew that it was the only paper in the United States that was not afraid to handle such subjects. Mr. Lewis also said to ask the Oklahoma newspapers to please copy this article, the Muskogee Seimler not excluded. Tell the men and women out there to stand up for their rights and not to go into the smoking car on the mere say-so of any funky. Mr. Editor, the time has come when our men must stop being the goats. They must strike back, whatever the cost. My wife has often said she would rather see me dead than to flunk from a man because his face is black or white. She said she would consider it the highest honor in her life to be the widow of a man who fell holding up his manhood and I, your humble servant, have made up my mind to die rather than let any man cower me. I hope all the readers of the Defender will heed. BETHEL LITERARY CLUB ELECT OFFICERS. The Bethel Literary Club opened on last Sunday and elected the following officers: Bernard W.

Built ‘of reinforced conerete, brick and stone, the new hotel will never be destroyed by fire. Walls, floors und ceilings are of con- crete, faced with brick and trimmed with stone, Exelusive of furniture, the building represents an investment of approximately half a miltion dol- lars. The New Leland has a trontage of 109 feet on Sixth street and 106 ~feet_ on Capitol avenue. The New Leland has been leased by & company of which E. O. Perry is president and general manager. In assoclation with John Rigby, Mr. Per- ty Holabird & Roche, the Chicago ar- chitects, planned the hotel and the Culver Construction Company was the builder, Work on the foundations was started Feb. 1, 1910, The original Leland Hotel was opened Jan. 1, 1867, It was built as a move to block the efforts of Peoria and Decatur to remove the state cap- ital from Springfield, and was a great undertaking for its day. It was leased to Simeon and Horace Leland, the firm later becoming Leland & Wiggins, with Noble B. Wiggins, brother-in-law of Horace Leland, as the uew partner. Colonel Wiggins continued the business after the death of Mr. Loland,-and after his death it was run by his sons, Horace L. and Lewis N. Wiggins. The hotel was burned March 26, 1908. Atlanta, Ga., is selecting trom our ranks a crew of waiters for another large hotel being erected within her city.

A young clergyman who had delty. ered a discourse in the place of an aged brother minister requested the opinion of the latter respecting it, “Oh,” sald he, plainly, “many of tho words you used were beyond the cou prehension of your hearers. Thus, for {ustance, the word ‘inference'—per- haps not half of iny parishioners un- derstand its meaning.” “Inference, inference!" exclaimed the other. “Why, eversone must un- derstand that.” “I think you will find it not sa. ‘There's my clerk, now. He prides him- self upon bis learning, and, in truth, ig very intelligent. We will try him. Zachariah, come hither. Zachariah, my brother here wishes -you to draw x0 inference; can you do It?" “Why, I am pretty strong, but John, the coachman, Is stronger than {. 11 ask him.” Zacharlah went out for a few mo- ments to look after the conchinan, and returned. “John says he never tried to draw an Inference, sir; but he reckons his horses can draw anything that the traces will hold!" Guarding nn tienoesion:. “Why doesn’t that Parisian play: wright accept those challenges?” “#e's fn a predicament. He !s a tragic aw thor and can’t afford to let the pub lice see him in anything as funny us a French duel.” No Exeevtion.

MUSIC LESSONS OFTEN LOST Writer Thinks Children Should Have Easler Tasks and Shorter Hours of Practice. The musica) education of the child, We must remember. is. In nine cases out of ten, a plus quantity—something in addition to an already complete course of study laid out by that ex- acting and often heartless person known as the educator. It invades the play hour. makes it by no means small exactions upon the already tired brain, and often proves more destruc- tive of the central gray matter und more wearing to the nerves than all the rest of the child's eurrienluny put together. Think of the poor tortured little spine and the dangling legs on the high piano stool for an hour at a stretch! What a nervous strain and worriment, to drop a note here and there, az grandma drops a stiteh, and be obliged to go back again and again to struggle with the passage until time, fingering. reading and all the technique of execution are pronounced satisfactory! With jess exacting music and short: er hours of practice. I have no doubt that quite as nuich progress would be made by most children In tbe long tun.

Unless a child has extraordinary aptitude and an inalien able love for music, “too: much of a Kood thing.” wil! simply disgust him or her with the entire study.

Fancy frills and ornamentation were Dot thought of in the hurried forging of weapons called {nto need by the breaking out of the Clvil War. How plain the usual cavairy sabre was, for instance. is well shown by comparison with the lavishly ornamented weapons turned out by the oriental sword makers. The Turkish sword is a beau- Uful piece of work, the blade, “dam- ascened” with inlaid wires of gold, be- ing of astonishing elasticity. Each quarter inch of surface of the gilt seabbard, handle and hilt is crowded with engraved designs. From the city of Damascus, cele brated for more than a thousand years for the skill of its swordmakers, the Crusaders took to Burope the art of “damascening"—a tissue of dark lines on a light ground, or the reverse—and the inlaying of gold on the steel itself In the genuine Damascus blade of the dest period the figure, that ts, the in- trleate twists made in the steel white hot under the hammer of the sword smith, issnot, as some think. a matter of surface. It extends through the blade, and hence ts not removed by 1 thousand polishings. These beautiful figures on the genuine. blades are al most identical with the beat so-called Damascus gun barrels of today. HISTORY OF OLD FORT LEE Consiated Merely of Earthworks and Was Abandoned by Order of General Washington. ‘The Fort Leo of revolutionary days was on top of the Palisades, about two miles up the river from the vil lage of Edgewater, where the Fort Lee ferry has its New Jersey landing In the strict sense of the word, It was hardly worthy of being called a fort, since it consisted merely of earth works, of which not a vestige is to he seen today. s Tradition says that the fort was laid out by Gen. Israel Putnam, and some of the historians thus acvount for the {uct that the defenses were rather expansive for their purpose At first It was called Fort Constitu tion, but was soon re-named Fort Lee. ‘This temporary stronghold was really constructed to co-operate with Fort Washington, on the New York side of the Hudson, In the defense of the river.

Labor Day—a day you don't work. Anybody heard from Jack Johnson lately? Politics in the A. M. E. church is brewing. Annex Evanston (Jimcrowville). No, never. On second thought you could class flying as a hazardous occupation. The latest from California, "Love your Ernie?" and "That scares me." It doesn't cost a dead beat any more to live now than it did in other days. Wrestling with the coal hod will give you plenty of exercise but not much money. Wouldn't you like to exchange the follies of yesterday for overcoats and wraps of today? Noticed how neighborly the flies are? Perhaps they are getting cold feet now fall is on the way. Lest you forget, spend your money with our own merchants, doctors, lawyers, etc., and in a short time we will have no race problem. The National Medical Association which met some weeks ago selected an old Chicagoan as president. Somehow they just can't get along without us. The Defender thanks Messrs. George Gillum and Isaac, Lewis for valuable information given to the reporter concerning the life work of James Perkins. Mr. Sylvester Russell, who has been on the dramatic staff of the Defender, is no longer connected with it, as he will enter into the magazine publishing in the near future. Many admirers and readers of the Defender expressed deep sympathy at the accident of our beloved governor and they like the Defender sends him prayer of speedy recovery. Some day a truly wise president of a great nation will inaugurate the policy of protecting all the people in every part of the land from mob violence. It may be the millennium but— Just what we expected. Cary B. Lewis went to Indianapolis, saw Indianapolis, and captured Indianapolis. Pushed the pen not only for his own journals but for the Star, the largest daily paper in the city. The Eighth Regiment did the Butts manual and the musical drill in such a way that the governor and adjutant general gave them 100 per cent, meaning that they did better than the white regiments that were in Springfield. Mr. Bert Williams in his white auto and his howling success at the Colonial theater has given the colored actors a new thought in saving their money and buying homes. The time has come when a good time and no money in after years is a dead issue with the knights of the people's fetters. Senator Bailey has announced that positively he will not be a candidate for re-election. Notwithstanding that the race will get rid of one of its most powerful antagonists, the material benefit derived from his withdrawal is qualified when we realized that the great state of Texas will not be outdone but will undoubtedly send one of its more oppressive statesmen to take the place of Bailey. Mr. Charles Pickett, Washington, D. C., has finally been located after a five-day search in every quarter of the city by Defender reporters. He was brought into camp Thursday night and taken immediately to the Defender's interviewing rooms, but he will not peach. He says Gov. Deneen's health is much improved and the swelling in his ankle has all gone, but nothing for publication. We understand that the University Society or the Greek letter fraternity is a close corporation limited. It must have been chartered under the laws of old England. We have approached dozens of men of affairs in the city who are college men as to its clientele and none of them seem to know anything of it. The entrance fee must be prohibited or your family tree must have been sprouted from Plymouth Rock. Information we are requesting on this subject so interesting. ```markdown ``` --- The -Chicago Defender wants to compliment its Mayview, Mo, correspondent, Miss E. Johnson, upon her promptness in sending her newsletter and for the neatness and the splendid arrangement of her copy. At the same time we wish to call the attention of our other correspondents to the fact that they must on'y use one side of the paper, write plainly and remember that the editors of the Defender are not mindreaders and a little care on their part will make their work much easier. School has reopened and naturally we look always upon the attendance of children of the race as a matter of vital importance to the progress of the race. It is to the younger generation that the brunt of the battle that will necessarily be waged in the future will fall upon and as a matter of course it is desirable that they should be well trained. Judging from the attendance we observed Chicago is well doing her share toward providing the race with men and women that will be a factor to reckon with. Mayor Harrison is on the war path again and has given the chief of police strict orders that all places where there is gambling shall be closed and closed immediately to stay. Just how effectively the police will carry out his orders remains to be seen. Chicago in the past few months has been a wide open town and a breeding place for thugs and criminals of all kinds. The mayor has the support of all law abiding citizens and we trust that during his administration he will show us how a model city should be run. Every once in a while some disgruntled person agitates the advisability of separate schools for Chicago, claiming that it will give more employment to our young colored women as teachers. This argument, we are glad to say, seldom emanates from a northerner. What every one should do is to try to break down prejudice, and this can only be done by contact. We have many teachers in our public schools who are making splendid records. They experience no unpleasantness because of the fact that they are not teaching members of their own race. Let us let well enough alone, and bear in mind the adage, "The greatest good to the greatest number." Doubtless Mr. Carey B. Lewis, editor of the Chronicle, will put on brakes next year when he attempts to take his vacation; from all hospital accounts, he seemed to be suffering from taxi-ocotomia electro-cabo, a disease unknown to most editors of weeklies. Provident hospital had the honor of housing this potentate of letters, and his private room was strewn with flowers the whole time he lay abed. Polite society was much grieved but when bulletin No. 13 was placed at the door of the hospital telling of his advent from the hospital a sigh of relief went over the audience. The Defender wishes him a speedy recovery. The doctors predict 31st and State for him in the next 10 days. The governor of the state of Arkansas saw fit to point out to the Business Men's league in session at Little Rock that they should desist going about begging for social equality. We agree with him. It is not worth the effort. But, as a matter of fact, the governor is wrong; we are not beging for social equality but we are demanding the enjoyment of the same civil rights that are given to other citizens and nay! even foreigners. We have a right to make such demands. In the battle fought in the sixties "that the union might be saved" we were represented and as a matter of course we are entitled to enjoy the fruits of our battle. Such silly evasions of the real issue undoubtedly fell upon deaf ears, addressed as it was to the highly intelligent members of our race. The Amsterdam News, one of New York's foremost newspapers, appeared last week with several pages of state printing, which goes to show that they are evidently in right with the state government administration. Politics in that state are not all one sided and the "Grand Old Party" better look to their laurels. Every race leans toward the side their bread is buttered on. The leader of the United Colored Democracy had a hand in the passage of the "Civilier Bill," a measure passed by the legislature for the organization of a colored regiment. The publicity given it by the Amsterdam News was largely responsible for its passage. We congratulate the news, not only on its signal success in the political line, but upon its appearance as an up-to-date newspaper. Since the A. M. E. church has a large following in Africa and the same in America, why don't that church introduce some of the African languages, spoken by the natives, into their schools throughout the country. This would be a step in the right direction. Why not endow a Zulu chair at Wilberforce, and their other schools at the south? Why not establish a chair of the Vie nation also, in their schools. It would have been a greater blessing to the race, if the Greek letter society which met here this week was an African language college secreta society instead of the Greek. We must open our eyes to the helpful things. King Menelik would be a proud man if he knew that the Abyssinian language was being taught in our purely colored colleges at the south. Catch the hunch? Find fault, when you must find fault, in private; and some time, after the ouse, rather than at the time. The blamed are less inclined to resist when they are blamed without witnesses; both parties are calmer and the accused party is struck with the, forbearance of the accuser, who has seen the fault and watched for a private and proper time for mentioning it. Say! Do you notice how the business men advertise in your paper? Rev. D. H. Harris will leave Thursday for the Baptist convention in Pittsburgh, Pa. Rev. Birk of St. John's church is getting ready to leave for conference. The dinners that were given at Shiloh Baptist church and St. John's A. M. E. church were successes. The friends of Englewood remembered both. Mr. Bert Brown and wife, 4320 Drexel avenue, were taken off their feet on Saturday morning, when Mr. Brown's brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Fern Thornton of Kalamazoo, Mich., dropped in on them. Mr. Brown was so happy that he slapped his sister and hugged her and then made a pass at Mr. Thornton, but he ducked the blow and hugged him. You can find the Defender at George Jordan's, 6043 Loomis street. He will be glad to publish all local notes and items of all kinds. The Hope Presbyterian church laid their corner stone Sunday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. Rev. Jackson of Grace Presbyterian church opened the services; the choir sang several selection; then Mr. Bromfield read the history of the church. Rev.

Mr. Jones keeps up with her by wireless. She goes too fast. What's the matter with home? Mrs. E. A. Vena, of 3818 Dearborn street, has returned from a visit to Lebanon, Kansas and many points through Missouri. Friends of Blacksmith R. B.

Those of you who continue to owe the Defender, and all those who borrow the Defender from their neighbors, should try and help out and keep the paper going.

Jesse Binga, banker and best man, accompanied him after the wedding to Philadelphia, said the strain was too much on his nerves, returned home Friday. PHILANDER AND THE ROSE Little Joke That Clever Woman Played on a Male Flirt at Coronado Beach. All that you have to do to bring Ire to a certain stock and bond broker down among the marts of Mammon is to wear a red rose. The stock and bond broker has a reputation of being quite a philanderer—a "devil among the winners," as it were. And on a recent visit to Coronado he was looking about with a view to conquest—looking about so obviously that a clever woman who was a guest at the hotel determined upon a little plan. She dropped him a note, intimating that she would like to make his acquaintance. He answered the note with celerity. He wasted no time. He asked her if she would have dinner with him in San Diego that evening. "And, that I may know you accept," he concluded, "will you wear a red rose in the dining room at lunch time tomorrow?" At the appointed lunch time every woman in the big dining room wore a red rose! The stock and bond broker left Coronado on the first train. Oh, you red rose!—San Francisco Chronicle. Made Himself Immune. Mithridates, great ruler of Pontus, gradually hardened himself against every known poison by taking tiny doses; that no poison, could catch him napping. Two Persian scientists have advanced the idea that the sanest type of men have large feet, while the sanest types of women have small ones. The Defender never sleeps, always on the job.

LYLES 3203 State Street, Chicago, Ill. --- ```markdown ``` Pending the regular opening of this popular house, quite an innovation is being introduced, and the side south theatergoers have been packing the house on such occasions. The theater opens on Saturday and Sunday nights only, presenting an entirely new entertainment given by all colored performers of ladies and gentlemen. The public is showing their appreciation of the opportunity of seeing something different from what they have seen all week at the other houses on the stroll, and as the bills are all specially prepared for those nights the shows are the real live novelties of Saturday and Sunday entertainments. A splendid bill is the offering for this week. Many new features will be seen and heard. TALLABOO AT THE PEKIN Mr. N. R. Harper's "Tallahoo, or Swept by Fire to Fame," the fiveeet meldrauma which had a four nights run at the Pekin theater this week, is a piece of considerable merit, but it has not been sufficiently developed as yet for production. In the first place there is no evenness to the acts, one occurring with the rapidity of a moving picture machine while others drag along for nearly half an hour. The cast was a good one and all they could to make the play a success, but the piece needs considerable toning up before it is staged again. Promised Not to Respank His Wife. William Novalous of Ashley, near Wilkesbarre, Pa., pleaded guilty to spanking his wife because she was extravagant, and Alderman Ricketts of this city, who heard his story, discharged him. He had been arrested by his wife and was not backward about admitting that he had beaten her. "I give her a sum of money each month to run the house," he explained, "and when I found that she had spent considerable of this money for other things I was angry and took my razor strop and spanked her." As he promised not to take such extreme measures next time, and as Mrs. Novoyal appeared none the worse for the spanking, Alderman Ricketts discharged him. Weddings Approved. An old-fashioned man who wished to hire a team for the afternoon saw a nice pair of bays which he thought he would like to drive. "Can't let you have them," said the liverman. "They are wedding horses." "What's that?" asked the innocent pleasure seeker. "Horses that won't shy at old shoes and showers of rice. Some horses seem prejudiced against matrimony. Anyhow, they lose their temper if they happen to be hit by any of the good-luck emblems that are fired after a bridal couple, and run away if they get half a chance. Every livery stable, however, keeps two or more horses who take a more cheerful view of the wedded state. Those bays are that kind. They are slated to hend a wedding procession for tonight and are resting up for the job." Frankfort probably shares with Amsterdam eminence as being the wealthiest city in the world per capita. There is an immense investment fund in this city garnered through centuries. Frankfort has long been one of the great money markets of Europe and banking in Germany centered here until recent years, the great Frankfort private banking houses leading and being assisted in their operations by such houses as Mendelssohn and Bleichroeders in Berlin and the Oppenhelms in Hanover. Able Is Ambitious. In one of the Philadelphia settlements the chief worker was telling the archons of the right of every American youngster to aspire to the presidency of the United States. Little Able Eckstein didn't take kindly to the suggestion. "Why, Able, you are not a bit ambitious," said the worker. "Oh, yes, teacher, but not to be president," the lad replied. "I'd just like to be secretary of the navy so that I could ride in the boats whenever I wanted to." ALEXANDRA MAYER 1820-1880 ORCHESTRA HALL MICHIGAN AVENUE Bet.

SCALE OF PRICES Motts Pekin Theatre Weddings Approved. Two Wealthy Cities Able Is Ambitious. Mysterious Boys Defeated the Emergencies. This was the most disastrous season for the Emergency baseball club the boys ever experienced; they failed to win a game, though playing consistent ball. The score of Monday afternoon, Sept. 4th, does not by no means tell the real story. Capt. Avendorph attributes the cause to ill luck and too much professionalism in what was and always has been purely an amateur game. Unfortunately the players who pose as professionals, are the very ones who play the most amateur ball at the very time when a little of their professional playing would prevent defeat. Louis Thompson, who captained the Mysterious Boys, is bubbling over with joy. Like Rivers pitched a good game for his side and deserved to win. Madden was invincible until the eighth and ninth, when he weakened. The feature of the game was four home runs, two by Baker and one each by I. Rivers, Green and Irwin. Caldwell Watkins was the joke of the game. Capt. Avendorph says, if Watkins is a ball player (he is a watch maker). The players were: Mysterious Boys —Woods, 3b; Irwin, 2b; Johnson, c; Sherwood, 1b; Smith, if; Thompson, ss; Thomas, rf; Mitchell, cf. I. Rivers, p. Emergences —Green, c; Baker, ss; Caldwell, 2b; Madden, p; Washington, 1b; W. Rivers, rf; Avendorph, 3b; Drake, cf; Tolmson, if. Score, 11 to 10. Grace and Bethel, the keen rivals of the Presbyterian Brotherhood baseball league, will meet for the leadership of the south division Saturday afternoon, Sept. 9, at Washington Park. Reeves and Majors, who met in a pitchers' battle several weeks ago, will pitch against each other. Mr. Albert Rivers wishes to announce to his many friends and acquaintances that he is now located in the clabored rooms of the club Club Annex, 4704 State street, where he will be delighted to meet each and every one of his many friends. So come and have a real good time. A few years ago Volapuk was the order of the day, and we are only reminded of its erstwhile fame by reading an account in a Paris contemporary of the death of its founder. He was an ecclesiastic named Schleyer, and his method was to constitute a universal language by borrowing freely from the Roman and German tongues. The proposal received a great deal of attention from serious writers, and it goes without saying that it came in for a lot of ridicule. The effort might have succeeded had it not been for Esperanto. The old priest watched the rise and decline of his proposal, and he lived to see its fall. The thought that must suggest itself to all who give the matter consideration is: Why should there be a new language? Why not teach boys to write Latin as a universal language? An effort in this direction is being made in Germany. Mrs. Martin's new parlormaid, Susan, appears to be not only extremely well trained and all that a correct parlormaid should be but also a young woman of unusual penetration. When Mrs. Martin's acquaintance, Mrs. Davis, comes to call on afternoons, Susan ascends the stairs to her mistress' room and declares to that rather astonished lady that "Mrs. Davis, one of the gentry, is in the drawing room." On the other hand when Mr. Smith, the book agent, or Mr. Jones, the piano tuner, rings the front door bell and sends up a card, Susan is not to be deceived, and announces, "Mr. Jones or Mr. Smith, not one of the gentry!" Mrs. Martin is at a loss to account for these distinctions. The Italian Treatment The Italians resort to a very simple method when they wish to obliterate the injurious effects of salt air and sunshine after a visit to their villas, the shore of the Adriatic, the Tyrrhenian sea or the lakes. They bathe the face with the white of an egg, well beaten, let it dry on the skin and rinse it off in soft water after fifteen minutes. The treatment is repeated three or four times, and always at night just before retiring. MADAME E. Azalia Hackley SOPRANO Retiring Song Recital AND Vocal Demonstration Volapuk.

Apples and potatoes when frozen can be restored in good condition if they are thawed slowly. But when thawed rapidly they became flabby and soon decay. The carpets and other covering we place over plants in winter do not prevent their freezing and thawing, but they do prevent their freezing and thawing too quickly. Hence the benefit. A "Commercial" Smile. A London haberdasher instructs his clerks after this fashion: "Our employees are reminded that while serving customers they are expected to wear a commercial smile." The phrase is a valuable contribution to the literature of the subject. The "commercial smile" is the kind that has no heart in it. --- WEST MICHIGAN BENTON HAUNT Q A Summer Resort owned and the accommodation of first-class commodation; fine bathing bea- service.

Mamma, however, was pressed for time, and presently hurrying ahead, called to the struggling, panting little girl to run. From a little distance behind her came the breathless protest: "I can't run, mother. You'll just have to wait for me. I'm so busy walking that I can't run." MICHIGAN RESO BENTON HARBOR, MICH.

We like fine writing when it is properly applied; so we appreciate the following burst of eloquence in a contemporary: "As the stricthic uses both legs and wings when the Arabian course bounds in her rear—as the wingingingnings leap from the heavens when the thunderbolts are leeched does a little negra run when a big dog is after him." --- GUESS WHO? The gent is who had better be careful who he calls names to. The R. R. P. is who has got a swelled head and diminutive eyes. He is such a speculum such a sensation at the corner of 55th and State St. because his wife was walking down street with a gentleman, and a dear friend of that. M. A. W. and P. Y. are the ones. The young man is who has such a swelled head and diminutive eyes, complained that he will have to learn how to introduce one friend of his to another. The folks are who have eight years' difference in their ages but pass for twins. The peachy dolls are who parade State St. after 12:30 at night. The Ravenswood doll is who came to see the Heyde Park doll and just cleaned out the box. I saw the crowd of heaters when they were out in that gasoline launch truck in Washington Park, and they had been beaten. The B. C. is who met the doll with the raven locks and took her over East in the parking lot. Then another doll. Now don't scrap over it. B. T. 1 The doll is who is just wild because she has not heard from the X. P. O. D. who is now a soldier. Good-bye, Frank. **GUESS WHO FROM EVANSTON.** The young bird is that fell out of the door. "Brown" dolls, in fact anything done up "Brown." The south-end widow is that fell out of the door. "O my head." The two dolls are that are "running" together again. The young bird is that was cheated out of last Friday night. "Too bad," "Birds," is going to be homes pretty soon. The natron is that likes to gossip. Be careful, the birds may turn.

THIS HAPPENED IN MISSOURI Editor Mixed a Wedding Announcement and the Advertisement of an Auction Sale. A Missouri editor who was brimful of hard cider got a wedding account and a salo mixed, and served to his readers, this done: William Smith, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Smith, was disposed at auction to Lucy Anderson on my farm, one mile east of here in the presence of 70 guests, including the following, to-wit: Two mules, 12 head of cattle. The Rev. Jackson tied the nuptial, the least weighing 1,250 pounds on the hoof. The beautiful home of the bride was tastefully decorated with a seewash calf, a spade, a sulky rake, one feed grinder, one set double harness, almost new, and just before the ceremony was pronounced. Mendelsohn's wedding march was played by one milch cow, five years; one Jersey cow, to be fresh next April; carrying a bunch of flowers in her hand and looking charming in a gown made of light spring wagon, two boxes of apples, two racks of hay, one grindstone, mousseline deor trimmed with about 180 bushels of spuds. The groom is well known and popular young man and has always stood well among society circles of 12 Berkshire hogs, while the bride is an accomplished and talented school teacher of a splendid drove of Poland-China—piedigrees if desired. Among the beautiful presidents were two sets of knives and forks, one spring harrow, one wheelbarrow, one go-cart, other articles too numerous to mention. The bridal couple left yesterday on an extended trip, term of 12 months time, extended to responsible parties, otherwise spot cash luncheon will be served at the table. After this Mr. and Mrs. Smith will go to housekeeping in a cozy home at the corner of Main and Doctor R. L. Granby, auctioneer.—National Monthly. Musical Auto. One of the latest fads of the motorist is the musical automobile. Attached to the side of the car is a sort of pipe organ calloque arrangement. The wind pressure to operate the pipes is supplied with power from the engine. There are ten pipes, giving the "player" a range of an octave with two "half notes" included. The stops are operated from the rear seat of the car, by means of wires running to a miniature keyboard attached to the back of the front seat. The instrument can be used for the double purpose of amusement and as a warning to pedestrians. Feminine Reasoning Stella—Her gown is just like yours. Bella—I don't care if hers is a duplicate of mine, but I don't want mine a duplicate of hers.—Puck. GUESS WHO FROM LEXINGTON, MO. A. J. is all smiles since his little sweet- tale came back home. I don't blame you, kid. L. H. and M. E. B. were sitting on the goose pond fence Saturday night. Look out. L. H. this is a bad place to be. I don't want to be there. That loving little G. E. J. is such a jolly good girl. No wonder Editor J. A. I. thinks so much of her. Oh, you either the damself. Hh! ha! I will be heartbeat over the head with an umbrella for keeping company with another girl. GUESS WHO FROM MAYVIEW. The loving Mr. W. T. was seen going over the hill to see his fair brown, Miss J. C. Why? Because the good looker Mr. Bill Mck. of Lex. Mo., was not out. The fat baby doll is looking very angry at Miss F. C. B. because she has taken him. Why? From her, Cheer up, doll, the good looker Bill Mck. of Lex. will be out soon. Why does the loving reporter, Mr. J. C. why? Because she has seen Miss F. C. B.'s name in the guess Who? Queen E. H. doesn't know it. The dude is who calls himself intelligent. Mr. R. B. is the dude. The two beameaters who were seen together again at the Fair. Oh, you lovingly kissed him. Why? The good looking Mr. A. C. of Lex. Mo., says he certainly loves his sweet brown, Miss M. B. You certainly have him. Mr. B., he's purely, crazy about you. The good looking Mr. B. You were seen smiling at the loving Mr. B. J. Be careful, doll, Miss C. T. will see you. The west side slides are in tears about J. B. The dude is who forgot his doll's name and said Miss J. DIDN'T NEED TO SWEAR OFF It Was Really a Monkey the Ohio Man Saw in His Hotel Bed. The story of the monkey that was discovered in the bed of a visitor at the Waldorf a few nights ago stuck a responsive chord in the recollection of an Ohio man who once came to New York for a week of rest and recreation. The day he landed he got into a poker game and for seven days he stuck at it, the game being punctuated as many poker games are. On the last day he started in 5o play at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. He quit at 11:20, cleaned out. Going upstairs in his hotel and opening the door, he noticed his vallise sitting on the floor and decided he would get a clean handkerchief out of it and sit down and think it over. As he stooped over his glance fell upon the bed. From the spot where his head might have been two beady green eyes in a hairy little face gleamed at him. According to the Ohioan's account he made not a single exclamation. He simple closed the valise, turned out the light and shut the door from the outside. He went downstairs, took two or three turns about the lobby, gave it up, called for a cab and spent the night driving about, first to one place and then to another, Daylight found him still going about, and he did not revisit the hotel until late in the afternoon, when he went up to the room clerk to apologize. While standing there he heard somebody say, "Well, they found that monkey after all." "Good Lord, I am saved," shouted the Ohio man, to the astonishment of the clerk. "Then it was a monkey after all, and there is no need of my swearing off." FINE PRE-NORMAN CHURCH Remarkably Well Preserved Edifice at Worth Was Built Long Before the Conquest. Many churches in Britain owe their origin to the piety of the Norman invader, but these which antedate this great period of church building are not so numerous. One such pre-Norman edifice is the fine old parish church of Worth, near Three Bridges. A little book, written by Rev. Arthur Bridge, the rector of Worth, tells the history of what is aptly described as one of the most remarkable relics of a bygone age. It seems probable that the church passed with the Manor of Worth under the will of Alfred the Great to his third son, Ethelward. Archaeologists will be lavish of thanks to Mr. Bridge for the interesting and useful little record of his unique church. He tells us that Worth exhibits the earliest example of the purely English cruciform building, and its semi-circular eastern end is of very ancient date. But the whole church, as might be gathered, possess many features which make it of peculiar fascination to the student of the antique. The windows, for instance, have not suffered "restoration," and are well known to all students of architecture here and on the continent.—Dundee Advocate. Such Boorishness! Another American lady, returning to her beloved country, forgets to declare her gold cigarette case, her gold porte-monnaie and a few cloth-of-gold frocks, and is required to "explain" what ought to have been evident to any customs inspector worth his salt. Can ladies be expected to charge their minds with a lot of such trifles? How can a lady remember how much paraphernalia of lovely womanhood—costly, as a matter of course—has acquired? Must a lady take stock of all her personal belongings to oblige a few politicians in New York?—New York Evening Sun. SENATORIAL PITCHER HAS GONE BACK At present it looks as if Lefty Russell's days as a pitcher are over. The youngster whom Connie Mack bought from the Orioles has a bad arm, and doctors say the cords are knotted. Russell caught cold in his salary arm BALL AND BAT NOTES Ty Cobb will be a minstrel during the winter. The Athletics are all early risers and all of them retire early. A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Cornellus McGillcuddy in Philadelphia. Frank Farrell of the Yankees says John Ganzel will not succeed Hal Chase as manager next season. President Murphy of the Cubs admitted in New York the Reds are after Evers for manager next season. Jack Coombs says the life of the average pitcher is ten seasons. Jack's days as a pitcher, then, are numbered. Overheard in the stands: "I guess the world's series will be between New York and Philadelphia all right, all right." Bobby Wallace, manager of the Browns, says Jack Berry of the Athletics is as good a shortstop as there is in the game. Vean Gregg, who showed signs of a slump, has apparently recovered the form that made him the sensation of the early season. Art Schwind and Dobblins, shortstop and catcher of the Roseland Eclipse, a Chicago semi-pro team, have been signed by the Detroit Tigers. Fred Clarke says he might have wanted Bransfield, but that he wouldn't trade Vint Campbell for Bransfield and Luderus thrown in. The Boston Americans have claimed Pitcher Herb Byram of Sacramento and also Third Baseman Jimmy Shinn. Players will be given in exchange. Jimmy McAleer is quite anxious to secure Jack Flynn of the Pirates, for Jack is still young, and Jimmy thinks he has a good future ahead of him. There is nothing in the report that Billy Murray is to manage the Reds next season. Murry knows when he's in soft which he certainly is at present. Malins, the pitcher secured by the Boston Americans from the Flint, Mich., team, is 6 feet 7 inches tall. Beat it you Loudermills and Falkenbergs. The story that Jennings will ask walvers on Morlarty is denied at Detroit, but it is admitted that Paddy Bauman is likely to upset the Tiger infield plans. When it comes to playing doubleheaders Chicago will be up against the real thing, as the Cubs have been idle more than any other aggregation around the circuit. According to a Boston paper Fred Lake is trying to buy a franchise in the New England league. The story then, that he would manage the Browns next year, must be revised. In winning his twenty-second straight victory over Cincinnati Mathewson also made something of a record, for some one who kept count says he only pitched 92 balls to the Red batters in the nine innings. McAleer has announced that Washington will train at home next spring and McAleer will spend the winter in the capital laying his plans for the 1912 season. He believes his prospects the best the Senators ever had, since the policy of getting a few youngsters was adopted. "We are getting up a demonstration as a tribute to a successful literary man. Can you suggest something out of the ordinary?" "I think a procession of prosperous looking poets, bearing ham sand-wiches, would gratify him." "Handsome!" she exclaimed. "Oh, he was so handsome!

It will be one grand battle between Johnny Kling and Mike Donlin for year. It is pretty generally understood that Kling went to Boston with the understanding that he would be placed in charge of the club in 1912. Now comes Sir Michael, with the managerial bee in his bonnet, and, if he can hit the sphere like he used to, he will soon be a big favo 0 rite with the fans and a dangerous competitor for the place. Mike would have liked to manage the Reds, and McGraw boosted him to Garry Herrmann for the job, but the Red chief could not see it. Glants and White Elephants.

The remarkable shifting of managers in the major leagues two or three years ago is likely to be outdone at the end of the present season, when no less than seven skippers of unfortunate second division outfits will be asked to show cause why they should not be supplanted. Disappointed club owners are already beginning to plan on next year's teams, and at least two managers have already made up their minds to resign. This is Jim McAleer's last season as a major league manager. Although he is drawing $10,000 a year in Washington, and his contract doesn't expire until after the season of 1912, McAleer is disgusted over affairs in Washington and will get out. The Washington club runs along with no business management or staff of scouts, such as other clubs employ, and McAleer consequently finds himself stuck with a team of veterans. He is wealthy and intends to buy a minor league club—in fact, he has already started negotiations. Clarke Griffith hasn't a chance to stick in Cincinnati the way things are going there. Griff registered a failure with the Reds, although he commands a team of individual stars and has spent much money in the upkeep of his machine. Other managers who may be asked to move are Patsy Donovan, of the Boston Americans; Bob Wallace of the St. Louis Browns, George Stovall of Cleveland, Fred Tenney, Boston Nationals, and possibly Bill Dahlen of Brooklyn. In St. Louis it is believed that Bob Wallace will voluntarily resign the management of the Browns, but will remain with the team. Fred Lake will be his successor if there is a change. Fred Tenney's days in Boston are said to be numbered. It is officially deleted, but, nevertheless, it is a certainty that Johnny Kling has been promised the management of the Rustlers. Harry Davis has been offered the management of the Cleveland team, and probably will accept next winter. George Stovall, the present leader of the Naps, is willing to become a private again. Stovall's appointment to succeed McDulreh has never been considered as anything but a temporary arrangement. Garry Herrmann will find it difficult to get a good man to replace Griffith. Players and managers regard Cincinnati as the city to be avoided except as members of visiting teams. Griff has never been forgiven for dismissing Huggins. Mowery and Ellis, three players who have greatly assisted Roger Bresnahan in registering the managerial hit of the year. On the Cincinnati team at present there isn't a player who appears capable of making a success of the Reds. Bill Dahlen has had some hard luck in Brooklyn. This is his second year, and if the Dodgers fall to finish higher than seventh Dahlen may be asked to quit. Bill knows a lot of baseball, but doesn't seem to be able to impart his knowledge to the athletes drawing salary from Charles H. Ebbets; at least not to any great extent.

The deal by which Washington gets Outfielder Moeller, First Baseman Spencer and Infielder Foster from Rochester involves both cash and 1 Shortstop Foster. players to be traded, it is said, and the Washington club considers that it gives the equivalent of $10,000 for the trio. New Iron Man. Bob Harmon, the Cardinals' young twirler, threatens to take the National league pitching crown away from Christy Mathewson this season. For years Mathewson and Three-Fingered Brown of Chicago have shared the twirling honors. One year Matty would be on top and the next one would find the three-fingered boy leading the pitchers in the older organization. Since the start of the 1911 campaign Harmon has twirled brilliant ball. In a large measure the success of the Cardinals is due to the fine pitching of Harmon.

The more we learn about the science of keeping healthy and happy the more hot water we use. The average family uses nowadays about 50 gallons a day. It takes all of 50 gallons to give every member of the family a refreshing bath and furnish plenty for the dish-washing, scrubbing and the laundry tubs. The heating of 50 gallons on a stove means a fire for an hour, a fuel expense of 12 cents and a blast furnace temperature throughout the house. The same volume of water can be heated with a little compact gas heater and delivered right to faucets in every room in a few minutes. The gas used will cost less than 7 cents and the house will be kept cool. We sell these little gas water heaters in several styles—one large enough for the average family for $15—small payments if you like. This one is so popular that we have put out over Five Thousand of them this year. Of course we deliver and connect them for domestic purposes free.

Its complexion is of the colorless purity of Chinese white, a halo of silver sparkles about its head during its peregrinations and its eyes gleam in their sockets like bright electric lamps. It is evidently in agony, for the palms of its hands are stiff and turned downward, and as it paces from room to room it gives utterance to moans of anguish and never lifts its gaze from the floor. So far as can be ascertained this particular ghost has no prehistory historical and why it should have chosen the house for its haunt is a mystery.—London Mall. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` of Hot Water Average Family A MISS JUANITA TOLIVER.

All unwittingly a Defender reporter recently made one of the greatest discoveries of the musical age of Chicago. Snuttering along one evening in a certain locality he suddenly became alive to strains of unusual music. An investigation proved that the beautiful sounds came from a rehearsal in charge of Mrs. Elinora Manson preparing for a lecture recital, subject, Ibsen's "Peer Gynt," the poem which was made famous by the late Richard Mansfield. Mrs. Manson is one of the most cultured musicians of the city but because her work along any special line has been almost unknown to the public the Defender reporter has truly made a great find in the musical world. For several years Mrs. Manson has been a student in one of the best schools of music in Chicago and has given this form of musical culture earnest and conscientious study. Personally Mrs. Manson has endeared herself to the musicians of this city in many ways. It was Mrs. TESTIMONIALS OF PEOPLE WHO KNOW. MRS. DAVID M.

Ms. Manson has done excellent work in behalf of the Choral Study Club and was manager for the club's season department four years. She maintains that the Choral Study Club can become a powerful musical factor, only by encouraging and upholding the efforts of Pedro T. Hinsley, who is one of the most painstaking musical askmasters in this country. In this recital Richard Monsfield's acting version of "Peer Gynt" has been employed but Mrs. Manson has added so many amusing and pathetic facts from the original poem that her presentation might really be styled an original version or paraphrase of the drama beautifully interwoven with the "Peer Gynt" music.

HOW TO EAT ROASTING EARS Exuberant and Poetical Instructions for the Proper Handling of Green Corn at the Table. Don't cut it down and eat it with a spoon. Don't stick silver spikes in the end and run it as a lathe. Don't break it into nubbins and nibble it from between the forefinger and the thumb. This is no dinky business. It is as big as the morning sunshine. It is not just eating; it is not keeping soul and body together. It is letting the soul out, letting it range over broad acres of waving corn, that rival the heavens in glory and extent, the finest token of earth's richness and prodigality anywhere seen. Catch onto that. Flaute your fancy about in the limitless ocean of sunshine and showers, of which the roasting ear is only a wisp of the creamy spray. This thing of tackling a roasting ear, like a stolid mute, for the corn itself, lowers it to the level of picking up chips or running an errand; he is just satisfying an appetite and might as well eat fried onions with a caseknife. That kills hunger. It silences a craving. But eating green corn has a higher mission than that. It puts one as close to nature as lying in a bed of lilies. One cannot taste the sunshine anywhere as when he selzes a juicy ear of corn in his eager faste and goes at it with an open countance and a happy smile, ripping off the rows of sweetened dews and dawns till his mouth and soul reek with delight. Eat it on the cob; the whole cob; the longer the better. Take it as nature gives it to you—its naked beauty, in its jeweled loveliness, in its juicy richness. Don't peek it as a blackbird does a sunflower, but 'evei in it, luxuriate in it, bite all of the tints of morn, the soft gales of the afternoon, the glow of the starlight, the hymn of the sparrow, the laughing dewdrops and the smile of the rainbow—they are all there for the alert soul that has a fancy above food. He who does not see them nor feel them is not worthy of a roasting ear. But the main thing is the recklessness in the eating it, the joyous abandon in cleaving off the pearly richness, the getting right down into the glory of the act, mindless of napkin, finger bowls or who is looking. A dilettante cannot any more eat corn on the cob than he can skin a cat. He measures his acts by a stifling propriety and not by the broad light of the soul. Dear reader, join the soul and cat corn like a sparrow files to heaven—with a song on your mouth. —Chamber's Journal. Eating Beyond Bellah Have you ever kept on eating candy after the pleasure in it has all gone and the taste has actually become unpleasant? Herbert W. Fishes confesses that he has done so, in an article discussing food in World's Work. And he gives a theory for this very common morbid freak. "I believe," he says, "that physiology and psychology both have one explanation to offer, and that is memory. Even as a violent image will perish on the retina of the eye, so the memory of the initial acute pleasure of the first confection is stronger than the dull sense of present satiety. And in the name of that memory we go on eating." This is said in objection to using sugar so freely in foods that it is too easy of access and does not have to be obtained by dint of honest chewing to get it out of the heart of foods. He advises, in the interest of moderation, that sliced banana or sweet apple sauce be occasionally used with cereals instead of unmitigated sugar, and, for that matter, the more general use of fruit for its own sake. Age of Simplicity This is a period of studied simplicity in dress which does not imply that dress is any the less costly merely that we see no beauty in elaboration or superfluity, and display of pretty tendency to wear wreaths of wild flowers on our hats instead of plumes and roses. Incidentally, no more striking proof can be furnished of an artificial age than a love of simplicity. In Charles II's day, the fair ladies posed as shepherdesses, and tried to be the heroes of the pastoralists, though never, taken as a whole, was society less near to nature. The Roman nobility believed in a return to the primitive life, while indulging in the greatest luxury. The people who are really poor cherish no happy illusions about plain attire and plainer fare. To them they are merely accompaniments of a poverty of which they are ashamed since they cannot help it. Styrlan Peasant Superstition A law suit for libel brought by an apothecary in Pollan, in Styria, against a young peasant reveals an extraordinary superstition prevalent among the country people. They believe that apothecaries and doctors have the right to kill at least one man and one woman ever year in order to make medicines out of their bodies. An accidental movement of the apothecary in Pollan, Herr Kobermauser, when giving medicine to a boy named Putz led the latter to believe he was going to be killed. He ran away, but got such a fright that he fell ill. The inhabitants believed his story and boycotted the apothecary, who was at length compelled to prosecute. Putz was sentenced to fourteen days' imprisonment, but his parents, who had spread the story, were acquitted on the ground that they had acted in good faith. Wage Warfare on Hatpin A few months ago the Berlin police president, Herr von Jagow, issued a courteous appeal to the fair inhabitants of the city requesting them not to wear dangerously long hatpins in their headaddress without covering the points with protecting sheaths. The police president's appeal, however, does not appear to have met with the desired compliance, and several more or less serious hatpins accidents have recently happened. Herr von Jagow has now proceeded to stronger measures, and a new police adict makes a woman whose unprotected hatpin inflicts a wound on another person liable to a fine of $175 and to a term of imprisonment not exceeding two years, in addition to which the injured party may claim damages up to $1,500.

UNCLE HIRAM TO HIS NEPHEW HIs Dissertation on the One Priceless Treasure Which: All Men Share Alike. "Steven, my boy," said Uncle Hiram, "one man may have more talent than another or more courage or more money, but there is one thing that no man on earth can have any more of than you have, and that is time. "Did you ever stop to think of that? Or maybe you haven't come to it yet, that of the most precious thing of all, the same being, I repeat, time, nobody, no matter who he is, can have any more than you have. There can't be any favoritism or special privilege or gouging or monopoly in time. You get what's coming to you anyway, and no man on earth can take it away from you. "And isn't this something to be cheerful over? Why, Stevey, it's the grandest thing going to think that of the most valuable thing of all we've got as much as the man that rides by us in a $10,000 automobile. But, and now I'm getting down to the sermon, Stevey, this most precious thing of all is the thing of which we are most wasteful. "We get our full share of it sure, but we waste it ourselves shockingly." "Don't waste time. Steve, please don't. As you feel now you've got a million years ahead of you, more or less, plenty of time; but time is one of those things that once lost can never be recovered. Don't waste a minute of it. When you play, play; sink the shop; forget it utterly; but when you work utilize all your time. Don't dawdle it away." Hymn Numbers for 'Phones. The city missionary was growing because he found it difficult to remember the mission telephone number. "I would like to change it to 793," he said. "I could remember that, for 793 is the number of my favorite hymn. Five hundred and sixty-eight, the present number, was the favorite hymn of the superintendent -in charge when the telephone was installed. The telephone company is very courteous in its dealings with churches and missions. Whenever possible they allow the pastor to select his own number. As an aid to memory most of them choose the number of a popular hymn. That is the reason most churches and missions have low telephone numbers." Unanimity. A Harlem sociologist says that wdo not differ as much as men think they do. He says he finds them to be almost unanimous in stepping off of a car in the wrong direction.

Zion Baptist Church The services at Mt. Zion church last Sunday, Sept. 3, were unusually well attended. At 12:30 the Bible school was well attended. The ordinance of baptism was administered at 6:30. At 6:46 the B. Y. P. U. held an interesting meeting. Again at 8 p. m. the church was filled, there being scarcely a vacant seat. The pastor preached, after which the Lord's Supper was given to a large number of the members of the church and visiting friends from other Baptist churches, several from Chicago. There were two members added to the church during the day. The offering was large. Second Baptist Church. Rev. S. D. Williams occupied our pulpit Sunday evening, August 27, and Rev. Mr. McKlissick Sunday evening, Sept. 3. The entertainment given by the missionary society was quite a success, both socially and financially. Brother Nathaniel O.

Sunday school rally at 3 o'clock. at every parent come and help the widens. A fine program will be ordered. It was simply who could get to Ebenezer first Sunday in order to get a seat. After filling the chairs placed under the gallery, the crowd pushed and packed its way up in the unseated spaces in the gallery, and stood there for two hours. Nine persons united with the church, making a total of 158 in eleven months, while the col- lection for the day was $97. Ebenezer is supposed to seat six hundred but it is unfortunate that it does not seat one thousand. The official board, composed of thirty members, was turned into a jollification meeting Monday night, when each member took his or her turn expressing satisfaction at the peace and prosperity of the church, one declaring the year to have been the most happy in the history of the church. Their sentiments are to be sent to the bishop in the form of resolutions. A most novel and inspiring event took place Wednesday night, when class leaders George Pressley and Ida Benton jointly entertained their classes and the official board. Neat invitations had been prepared and sent to member of their classes, nearly one hundred in number, and they gathered in the lecture room after a short prayer service and were served refreshments and a general good time was enjoyed by all. WHAT HE HAD IN THE CHEST All Was Made Clear When the Man Carrying Got Off the Table Man in an elevated car with a small chest about twice as big as the box in which a carpenter carries a selected lot of tools around with him or his shoulder. A row of augur holes bored in the end of his chest and a handle on top by which to carry it. There were only three or four people in the car and this man with the chest sat away down at one end, and with that chest on the floor in front he would about once in so often raises its lid just a little, but you couldn't see in. In due course of time the train arrived at the station where the man was to get off, and then he booked the lid of that chest down and took it by the handle and walked out in the most matter of fact manner possible, but when he had got about ten feet away from the foot of the steps he set the chest down and unhooked the hooks and threw back the lid and out hopped two small, white, shaggy, old-looking but intelligent dogs. They wagged their tails with evident pleasure at getting their feet on the ground once more and out in the open air. The man hooked the lid of the chest down again and picked it up by its handle and then with the two dogs trotting beside him, each on a leash held in the other hand, he started on for where he was going. PROGRESS OF FRENCH WOMEN If Mollere Lived Now He Would Not Ridicule Their Education and Activities. Thirty years ago there were three colleges for women in France and one preparatory school; now there are seventy-five colleges and forty-nine preparatory schools. What does the change mean? Mollere, over two centuries ago, in "Les Precueuses Ridicules" and "Les Femines Savantes" attacked the pose, self-consciousness and loss of proportion which the women of his time sometimes showed in attempting to be learned. Mollere laughed, however, not at education, but at lack of common sense. If he lived now he would not try to set back the clock, and ask women to devote to the needle the same attention that she gave before machinery was invented. He would not ask her to live as she lived before there were public schools for her children; creameries to make her butter and cheese; big manufacturers to take her place in preserving food; immense combinations to spin cotton, make cloth, do the dyeing, make up the clothing. He would welcome the vacuum cleaner, the gas stove and the dumb waiter, and his laughter would be not for those who use modern labor saving devices, but for the futile sentimentalists who cry for the vanishing of the past. The outside education and activities of women are as unquestionable and irresistible as are the printing press, the steam engine and the cotton gin. Collier's Weekly. A Window Washer's View. A window washer was called upon one day to clean the windows of a business concern on the nineteenth floor of a skyscraper in lower Broadway, New York. The cleaner paused in wondromement as he passed through the lines of typewriter operators as they clicked off their correspondence and went to the window and fastened the two straps dangling from his belt to books at the side of the window frame. He cast another surprised glance at the men operating the typewriters, and as he swung outward over the dizzy height, his weight sustained by the slender straps, he muttered: "It's mighty odd how some people do make their living in this world, anyway!" Dominoes First Played by Monks. The game of dominoes was the invention of two French monks. In the beginning they found amusement by playing at a primitive form of it with small flat stones they had marked with spots to designate them. When a game was finished the winner was wont to declare his victory by reciting the first line of the vesper service—"Dixit Dominus Domino meo." Before long all of the monks in the monastery found recreation in the game, and presently the vesper line was cut down, for brevity's sake, to the one word "Domino," thus furnishing the name which has clung to the game ever since. "No," said the woman who was telling the story. "I did not have the time to do as I did — I took the time. There was plenty of good reasons why I should have taken it. "At least 17 insistent duties glared at me from, various corners of the house. They glared at me accusingly, as one who would willingly neglect them. They glared at me indignantly, as one who lightly assumed duties with no idea of discharging them. They glared at me pityingly, as one who had been slackly brought up and didn't know any better. But I turned my back on them all, dressed the children and went. "This is why I went. I had taken a perfectly green girl from the intelligence office and trained her steadily for two months. I had trained her so that she understood what I was saying and could do the housework more than fairly well. Any one who has trained a green girl for two months at a sketch knows that a rest cure is due the trainer, but I'll never be able to introduce rest cure into my curriculum, so I didn't feel abused. "And then one Thursday evening a tall, gaunt woman with a fairly good knowledge of English appeared and Stasia and she went up to Stasia's room. When they reappeared Auntie Wanduskii—for that was the gaunt one's name—held Stasia's papier mache suit case in her hand. Stasia, clutching her month's pay, acquired up two hours previously, brought up the rear. Stasia was about to leave, at once! "No, the work was not too hard. No, she didn't want more money. She was about to be married, and, as the girl next door expressed it, I didn't even know she 'was keepin' company." "She went in the middle of the spring cleaning. She went when a sister-in-law whom I had never met was on her way from the Pacific coast to visit me. The three intelligence offices which constituted the first aid to the suburbs could send me no one for a week. So I went to bed discouraged and woke up sick. "It was as I drank the tea that the great temptation reared its head. 'Don't it a lovely day?' said the great temptation, enticingly. 'You ought to be out of doors on such a day. Oh, well. I know the work isn't done and you have no girl, but the work will keep and the world is full of girls." "At this point the duties that I have mentioned before stalked from their respective corners and tried the effect of withering the great temptation, but it was waterproof. "How fresh is the smell of the lake air! it went on. 'How pleasant is the beach! How much good it would do the children!" "I had put the dishes to soak right after breakfast; that was all I had done. . . that was all I was going to. I ran upstairs and dressed myself and the children, locked the door and fed toward the nearest station that would furnish a train to bear me and mine to the lake shore. As I turned the corner and looked back at the house a duty glared at me from my bedroom window. 'Going away for the day, and not a single bed made!' she shrieked after me. I made no defense. I had none to make. "The faults of the great temptation may have been legion, but it was truthful. The lake was blue, the air delightful, the atmosphere quivered and sparkled. There were very few persons about. The children and I eat on the beach and ate quantities of fruit that I had bought and later I read a new magazine. Once or twice I had an unenzy feeling that a hovering duty was asking me what would be the result if the sister-in-law should arrive ahead of time and, getting into the house by hook or crook, should find the beds unmade. I refused to listen—absolutely refused. "I am now coming to the part of the story that I don't like to tell. Even to myself it sounds 'fisby,' but it really is true, notwithstanding. "As I approached my own door late that afternoon, literally saturated with ozone and the joy of living, being accompanied by two children similarly affected, my neighbor crossed the lawn. Behind her came her maid and behind her came still another maid. Briefly told, the mistress of the second girl was going to England to visit her husband's people. She would be gone four months; I could have Jeanie for that period if I wanted her, but Jeanie would like to return to her first mistress in September. "Would I take her? I had difficulty to keep sfrom throwing my arm around her. I promptly arranged for her to come next day. "After this masterly achievement I went inside my house, donned an apron and worked like one possessed. "How did you dodge the headache? asked my husband at dinner. T thought you were in for a regular old timer when I left this morning." "I was, I answered. Then I told him the story of the great temptation. "I don't exactly know myself, what the moral of this tale is. Many good housekeepers would say that it has none, that it was, in fact, highly unmorent in its lesson of rewarded shiftlessness. But I don't know." WATER WAVE FOR HAIR HOW TO GET ALONG WITHOUT THE CURLING IRON. After Shampooing and Brushing, the Undulations Are Arranged and Tightly Bandaged Down With Stripes of Cheesecloth. Water waving, or what is called the natural wave, is practiced by scalp specialists who forbid curling irons. For water waving the hair is first shampooed, and after it is half dry it is brushed and combed, the brush being perfectly clean of course, and the hair to be curled is separated from the back hair. The front hair is brought forward, arranged on the forehead in a sort of undulation and tightly bound down with a strip of cheesecloth. A second row of curls is arranged on top of this and these are tied down with a second strip of cheesecloth. The bandage is then fastened in the back under the hair and by the time the back hair is dry and ready to do up the front locks have dried in the position in which they were lald under the bandage, and a slight wave which is perfectly harmless and may be called natural is there. Where the hair has any tendency to curl at all, it can be encouraged into quite a semblance of curtness by water waving in this way after every shampoo. On very warm days, instead of using the cheesecloth bandeau, brush the front hair forward over the forehead, bringing the curl or undulation forward, arranging it with the fingers and fasten it down with side combs. Make sure that the side comb is perfectly firm. Make another curl or wave and treat it in the same way. Leave the combs in until the hair is perfectly dry. TRY THIS CROCHETED MOTIF It is Easily Worked and Will Make a Showy Trimming for a Frock. Medallions or other crochet motifs are fascinating work, and when well done make a showy trimming for many kinds of frocks. This is a favorite sort of fancy work for summer, and the crocheting can be done in linen thread, as for Irish crochet, or in some of the new tinsel thread. Occasionally a colored silk thread and gold or silver are crocheted together with good effect. An easily worked motif that can be readily followed by any one who understands crocheting is as follows: Work a ring of six chain, make ten chain, turn with three chain and work twelve treble under the chain, ending with one double crochet in the ring. * Turn, work ten chain, one treble, into the seventh preceding treble, two chain, and one treble into the next, and repeat to the end, making four spaces. Turn with two chain, one double crochet in the first space, repeat three times, then work twelve treble under the ten chain as before. Repeat from * until eight arms are made, joining the first and last together. This motif can be made in various sizes by increasing the number of each set of stitches, remembering to keep them in the same proportion throughout. In all crocheting keep the work even and do not pull the stitch at one time, and have it loose again. To look well, all crocheting should be tight, even and clean. With care, washing of the motifs is not necessary. By varying the fineness of the thread and the size of the needle quite different effects can be obtained with the same motif. I This model is of marquette draped and crossed in front and trimmed with embroidery, buttons and frill of the material. The sleeves are finished with puffs and frills of the material. Linen Parasols. Now that we seem to have gone in for everything washable, which spells freshness as well as expense, there has arisen a demand for white linen parasols. The covers are embroidered or trimmed with openwork. They can be fastened to the frame when they come from the wash without the help of a professional. Some of them are lined with orange or emerald green china silk, but the majority are entirely plain. When one wants to use them in the afternoon with good-looking thin frocks, it is an attractive touch to add a large bow of colored ribbon to the handle. DO THINGS BY SYSTEM WOMEN SHOULD HAVE CERTAIN HOUR FOR EACH TASK. More Can Be Accomplished by Method and Due Delliberation and Planning.Than by Rushing Madix It is not the woman who rushes madly about who accomplishes most. System is what counts. Have certain hours for certain things. Give yourself plenty of time for the performance of each duty, but no more than you are entitled to according to your plans made beforehand. Five minutes' reflection at night is worth more than an hour's rush in the morning. Let the busy woman see that her clothes are in order for the next day—that she has a clean change of linen with all the buttons on, that her shoes are well polished and her gloves and belt laid in plain sight. If everything is at hand she should be able to take her bath and dress in half an hour. Then she may eat a leisurely breakfast, and be ready for a good day's work. That's what a little planning and foresight will do for her. The woman whose house is run in the best order, who keeps her help the longest and has them best trained has a day for each thing. The mold can take a look at her schedule and then go right ahead without wasting any time in useless questions. She can in this way accomplish part of her work before her mistress is up as well as plan tomorrow's labor the way her mistress does. Method should also be used in respect to the children. A child who knows what it is expected to do at a certain hour will eventually be trained into the routine of doing it, thus saving its mother many precious minutes. The woman who has no method might just as well give up trying to accomplish anything in this world. She loses too much time through lack of forethought and planning. EMBROIDERY DRESS. Here is a very dainty dress of piece embroidery, the pattern of which is so arranged as to form panels in center front and back and at the sides. The waist-band of insertion terminates each side panels. The bodice is cut Magyar; the under-sleeves are of finely tucked lawn. Hat of pale blue Tagel, trimmed with pink roses and foliage. Material required: 7 yards 24 inches wide The Newest Tea-Gowns. The tea-gown is practical to wear at home in the afternoon or evening, and will save the street gown and the more elaborate evening gown. The lines of the best tea-gowns are long and loose, but at the same time a tea-gown should not be shapeless. A long coat effect is good, provided that the gown itself over which the coat is worn has a belt or girdle. This should be placed high up under the arms to give the Empire effect. There should not be much fullness if the material is on the order of volle or net. The soft-finished gown to be worn under a lace coat should fit, or, rather, should be so cut as to indicate the lines of the figure.—Harper's Bazar. Pockets Little patch pockets, which for some time has been possible to think of only in connection with outing blouses and other articles of informal attire, are seen on some of the new taffeta flounced and fichu frocks, where they appear not only on the skirt but on the corsage as well. ACOMPLETE FUNERAL FO R $65.00. E. JACKSON. The Oldest Colored Undertaker in Chicago.

Lexington, Mo., Sept, 8—it_ has ben reported that our dearly beloved friend, Queen Eva M, Hunter, left the . city Monday morning to enter Lincoln Tagtitute of Jefferson City, Mo. I can only say to the public that Queen Eva M. Hunter is one of the most intelll: gent, self-respecting young ladies we ave in our city. She has been suc- cessful in all her undertakings, as a Christian worker in the Zion Chapel A. M. E. church of Lexington she has no equal. She has been a mother and a true friend to the small boys and girls of our Sunday school, and has done what many others would not have done in the way of doing what she could for the uplift of a down trodden race, to say nothing of her principles and character which is such a beautiful one, Miss Hunt: er's sweet voice will be greatly missed from our church and Sunday school, also the small tots will miss the one who took so much care of them; moreover, the entire city will miss Queen Eva. Oh, that Lexington bad many more such young women as Queen Eva. She has set such a won- derful example before our young men and women of Lexington, and we only wish they would follow’ in her foot- steps. Queen Eva Is a graduate of the Douglass school of our city, of which Prof. G. H. Green is principal, and during the many years she at: tended this school, never in the nis. tory of her Iife have we heard any of the teachers say that Queen Eva ever gave them any trouble. Ob, such a wonderful and beautiful record this young miss has left behind. As she Jeaves us to enter Lincoln Institute, who will take her place? Ask a young man or young Indy today to teach a Sunday ‘school or do some- thing for the cause of the church and seo just how many excuses they will make. Not so with Queen Eva. She ‘was always anxtous ‘to do what she could for the church and the race. No better or selfrespecting young lady ever walked the streets of Lex- ington than Queen Eva M. Hunter. They All Go Away to School. Tt hag been reported that Misses 1H. Smith, C. Hayden, G. Hicklin and 0, Le Jackson will leave the clty to attend the-colleges and institutes at Miss E.

About ten of the “faithful” few were presont to take up the work where it was laid down three months ago. It would be far better to take your name off the roll as a member than to show such a lack of interest. Every mem- ber should cither be present once each month or ask to have thelr names taken off as, active members. Why belong to any organization if you are not interested in it? Even the officers found it absolutely impos: sible to. attend. Wake up! No one is going to carry your part of the load. Every one found ‘time to at tend the reception. Mrs, Wm.
