LOYAL TO HIS RACE IOWA Into Hla Happy- ees-The Large Disappe- erybody president In the Face of Adverse Circumstances Tells Restaurant Owner the Young Negro Is Not Deceitful to Any Man Now, Since He Is Free and Educated. RATHER STARVE THAN DO ACT. Asked by Manager of Getting All Mulatto Men to work in His Dining Room—Tells Proprietor, Although He Was a Southerner and His Father a White Man, He Would Not Skurl His Mothers, as Both Mulatto and Black Are Kicked Allike. In one of the swell Cafe's downtown was employed, until a few days ago as head waiter, a gentleman of a mulatto clemento, owing to a change in the regime of the Cafe. The manager accosted the head waiter with the command that he install all mulatto waiters in the cafe. While the manager was making his desires known the waiter was calmly removing his apron and coat, which he deliberately threw in the face of his employer, telling him, "Although he had a wife and family dependent on him, no man, no matter his color, creed or station in life, should make him forget his manhood and the pride he felt in his race, be they light or dark." He also further told this "make believe" man that there were numbers of the race now holding positions through catering to just such low instincts as he showed himself possessed of, but that he would starve his wife would bow his head to such a demand coaxed a came from the president of the U.S. We regret the suppression of names of persons concerned in this affair, as the are would be great if we might give to the public the name of this loyal fellow. And the public is curious to know the name of the "wolf in sheep's clothing" who should be hiding his face in shame as the offspring of a race that made it possible for him to be able to attempt the corrupting of the noble instincts of a lover of his race. But because of the hero of this article wishing to hold the position he secured after leaving the Cafe's employment, we will honor him by our silence. $50,000 GIVEN AWAY BY OUR WOMEN TO PEDDLERS EACH YEAR. Will it ever occur to the people to stop giving away their money? I say giving away, with emphasis. Hundreds of our housekeepers are purchasing goods, such as fancy work, bed spreads, silverware, etc., from strolling peddlers and for the privilege of using these goods before they are paid for they give these men double and sometimes treble the price of articles, when, with the exercise of a little good judgment, patience and economy, the same articles could be purchased at a great saving downtown. The reporter wishes to make mention of a case under his observation of one of our citizens who purchased two bed spreads, paying $5.50 for each, to one of the installment men, who, going downsaw in a cash store, saw in a cart articles for $1.95 each. The lady was very much displeased but she realized that to buy in haste is to repent at leisure. MAYVIEW SOCIETY AND A WORD FROM NEARBY TOWNS. By Miss E. Johnson. Mayview, Mo., Oct. 6—Mrs. Kate Bradford and daughter Miss Fannie are spending a pleasant visit in M. T. Ollie. It has been reported that Miss Fannie Bradford will leave from there to attend the state fair at Sedalia, Mo. Mr. Charles Bradford spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. H. Moore. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Baker and several friends went to Lexington Monday on business. Miss Pauline Baker left Friday morning for a few days' visit with friends in Kansas City. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Moore spent Monday with Mr. and Mrs. H. Lytton and family. Mr. Alonzo Cole and brother Mr. Tom Cole spent Sunday with Miss Mildred Baker. Enold, Okla., Oct. 8—One year in prison and a fine of $10 against each of them formed the penalties imposed by U. S. District Judge Cotteral upon J. J. Beall and Frank Dunn, state election inspectors, convicted of conspiracy to deprive Negroes of the right of voting in a congressional election in 1910. We can hardly call this justice as when received only the minimum she permits, but the blamelessness of fces is better than no recognition II, which in the case is met with often, than is justice. IOWA CONFERENCE PASSES Dr. Hunt was called upon to speak and in the midst of his speech he was interrupted by applause, due to the entrance of Dr. Conner. Dr. Hunt said: "He must increase, but I must decrease," and gave his place to Dr. Conner. Dr. Conner remarked that one of the things necessary for the solution of the race problem was the pure gospel of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He said that the colored people of the south were buying farms upon which they at one time had been slaves. They are opening banks, building schools and churches. If there is a problem, he says, this will help solve it. Dr. Beal of the Missouri conference said "he felt that tricks and combinations could never last, but if God wanted a man he would be found." Dr. Beal is a candidate for the bishopric. Dr. Wilson of St. Stephen's church, Chicago, was called upon to respond to the several addresses made by the visitors to many things said by Dr. Wilson. He was the men of the west were pushing westward through hall, snow, ice and "We are determined under God to accomplish a great work." Presiding Elder McCracken was called upon to make remarks and he spoke very favorably of his work in the Carro district. Presiding Elder Reeves of the Chicago district spoke very commendably of his work and was well satisfied with the beginning of the work for the next conference year. Several charges made their reports. Benediction, Rev. Merritt of Glencoe—Dr. W. D. Cook, President; Rev. S. L. Birt, Secretary. MRS. DANIEL HARDIN ENTER- TAINED. Even the Dog Mollie Entertained— Ate Up $60 Hat. It was on last Saturday evening at the residence of Mrs. Paul Eggleston, 3624 Vernon avenue, when a number of Chicago's dignitaries gathered at the above home to give Mrs. Hardin of New York City, who spent two months with her relatives, a send off, she being one of Chicago's daughters who is making the east her home. Attorney Lucas is one of the lawyers for the complainant in the Motts, of Pekin Theater fame; Attorney Watkins, corporation counsel of Chicago; Professor Hahn and his entire concert company, who sang several selections; Mr. Delbert Leeb, the cabinet maker, the editor of the Defender, who sang reporters and concert company song "Byone Days," and the Sextette from Lucia, which placed them away past the Williams in dramatic work. The other guests who sang were Miss Mable Arrant, Mr. and Mrs. Talbert, Los Angeles; Mr. N. L. Sissle, Cleveland; Mr. Spence, dramatic reader, Cincinnati; Miss Grace Clark and Mrs. Schaffer. After the games at whist was played and the musical program, cream and cake was dispensed. Mollie, the dog, is extremely fond of this, but for some reason Mrs. Eggleston neglected serving her and she got mad until she was in the face, flee into a side bedroom, took the first hat in sight, and it to rags, then going to the back door began to whine, and was let out. Mollie left, and has not been heard of since. The hostess kept a secret, the same. Our reporters are now looking for the dog who had the nerve to eat to a $60 hat of Mrs. Delbert Lee, who said: "Why, those plumes were worth $40." When last seen by a reporter she was boarding an eastbound 38th street car, and vanished in the darkness. BETHEL LITERARY CLUB PROGRAM FOR OCTOBER, 1911. Oct. I.-Mr. C. H.

POLITICS IS THE SCIENCE OF GOVERNMENT POLITICS IS THE SCIENCE OF GOVERNMENT Then One Who is Acquainted with the Science of Government is a Politician. To be a politician these days, my friends, seemingly don't mean very much to the average man, but it does mean a great deal to the citizen who has his mind bent on doing the right thing at the right time, in the right way. It does mean a great deal to the man who thinks well of his home, his state, and his country. How well a man deserves to be called this kind of a man depends very largely upon past conduct, and his standing with the constituents of his state and his country. In this age the people are crying for men with iron wills, true Gov. Chas. S. Deneen. hearts and noble aims and purposes. That we have many that have never bowed their knees to bail we must admit, but the country is so heavily populated it makes it very hard for the people to find those that are really true. And with all this we do see men standing out among the people, representative leaders, like a mighty oak amidst the trees in a great forest. These men need no introduction to you, dear readers by me, because there is nothing to their character that I could add as to strengthening it, so this I will not attempt to do. But this I want to do. I want to tell you of some of the good traits of the men who stand for something and are doing something for their country and its people, and this regardless of color or previous condition of servitude. Our present governor, Chas. Deneen, deserves great credit for the care and watchfulness he has given over the interest of the state and of its people. Fighting enemies within and enemies without the party, he has more than held his own with his contestants good, bad and indifferent. He deserves great credit, first because the great statesmen of our grand old state, and ranks among the best; secondly, because notwithstanding the noble men who have served in the capacity of the chief executive of the state, he has given us the best service; thirdly, because his constant effort has been to defend the constitution and its laws, and uphold the name of a great people; fourth, he has truly served the interest of the people first, which is a splendid example to the ambitious youth and the children yet unborn. We should honor him for the enemies he has made and the bad laws and men he has condemned, for the good he has done, and the protection given to the electors of this state. This is the Defender's endorsement of a great, big-hearted, level-headed, honest and courageous man. What do you think about it? DELEMAS. OLD FOLKS' HOME GOT ITS SHARE Says the Secretary, to That Rude Person Who Wanted to Know. Owing to a misunderstanding that has arisen concerning the distribution of money raised at an echo meeting given under the auspices of the Koffee Klatch, held at Providence Baptist church August 28, we desire to make this public statement: Entire collection, $15.36; to the church, $9; to Mrs. Carter, $2; printing, $2.50. With the $1.86 remaining we added sufficient money to purchase fruit and sugar for the Old Folks' Home. During the previous fifteen years of existence the public have been fully instructed as to the disbursements made by this club. This is the first instance in which some officious body has taken it upon herself to inertely by notifying the board of the home of the amount of the collection and want to know if they received the $15. Of all the beneficiaries, the home for the aged and infirm colored people should feel and know the trustworthiness of the Koffee Klatch. —Mrs. Mollie Green, President; A. E. Watkins, Secretary.

Don't forget the babies. DR. C. V. ROMAN AT BANQUET Master of the Human Body, Editor of the National Medical Association Journal, Wined and Dined at Dumas Hotel Monday Night—Doctors Tried to Orate—Dr. Daniel H. Williams Makes Speech of His Life. HARMONY REIGNS THROUGHOUT BANQUET Toastmaster Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams is the Most Apt Man in Chicago at the Job—Dr. Hall, the Lion of the Hour, Made Divers Points on the Ethics of the Profession—Dr. Prentice and Porter Told Many Amusing Stories on Pill-Making—Dr. Buckner, Like the Wise Man from the East, Gave Good Council. The complimentary smoker given by the Physicians', Dentists' and Pharmacists' Association of Chicago in honor of Dr. C. V. Roman, editor of the National Medical Association Journal, was an affair which brought together the wit and wisdom of the race. Ten minute talks were made by Drs. A. D. Barnes, M. J. Brown and G. C. Hall, and several impromptu speeches were made. Dr. Daniel H. Williams in a few well chosen words spoke of the pride he felt in honoring Dr. Roman and remarked that "he stands in a class by himself, and it is meet that we honor this man and the race." The Doctor also stated "the time was nowipe to educate men for the medical profession to send south." Dr. Bell, Chicago's best X-ray expert, was present and spoke of his intentions for the future in the opening of two drug stores. Dr. Dickerson and Dr. Henry C. Bryant, Provident hospital internes, were present, as was also Dr. Richardson, who came in late, but the presence of these distinguished men was inspiring. Dr. Anna B. Cooper in her gracious way welcomed the honored guest in behalf of the women of the profession. Dr. G. C. Hall introduced the home speakers in his own eloquent style and Dr. Wilberforce Williams, the tombmaster, with much dignity introduced the guest of the evening. Dr. Roman arose and in an elegant flow of English expressed his thanks to one and all. He then opened his discourse with the words, "The world gives man no more than he can take. Get mansions of our own. Become men as Negroes, not by the suffidence of the white man and live up to the opportunities at your doors." The Doctor told quite an amusing story of a letter received by himself addressed to Dr. Roman, Colored, and on his answering same he addressed the envelope to Mr. Patrick O'Leary, Irish, for which offence Mr. O'Leary wanted to fight. The Defender, as well the community, are proud of Dr. Roman and extend a cordial welcome to his august person. WHITE GENTLEMAN COMMITS RAPE. That's All Right—It Was on a Colored Girl—Permitted by the United States Government and the Confederacy. Portland, Ore., Oct. 6—Phillip Swartz (white), a fashionable ladies' tailor, advertised in the daily paper for "colored girl to run errands." The ad was answered by a young girl about 18 years, who called in person at Swartz's place of business and was tasked with all sorts of vile proposals which he managed. On this brute struck the girl sometimes and tried to siffle her cries but without success and, fearful that the people above his store would hear the noise the monster fled, leaving the victim alone. Swartz is now in jail awaiting the finding of the grand jury. This is one of the type of white man who will cry "Lyme him!" without the least provocation. In old times it was "an an eye for an eye," etc. But a new dispensation is now before us. The white man has hained all he can and is slowly but surely retrograding, going back to the beast which is now just austere just for human blood. No punishment in human form but we would demand the full extent of justice from the Oregon authorities, let the race arise in its righteous indignation and avenge this much too often assault on the women of our race by brutal whites. WAS L. W. DICKERSON ON HIS HONEYMOON? Every one has been wondering, "Where is L. W. Dickerson of 3558 Armour avenue?" A little bird furnished the necessary information. Mr. D has been in Milwaukee. Wis., for over a week and will leave there Sunday night for Quincy, Ill., to attend the Grand Lodge of Masons. The stay of Mr. Dickerson in Milwaukee was indeed mysterious and we have many doubts as to his being alone. If the honeymoon was spent there, be generous, Dickerson, tell us, and accept our congratulations. DR. AND MRS. CHARLES E. BENT. LEY ENTERTAIN In Honor of Mrs. Daniel H. Murry of Washington, D. C., at a Musical. Chicago's social set is seldom given so rare a treat as was afforded on Saturday evening, Sept. 30, from 8 to 11, when Dr. and Mrs. Charles E. Bentley entertained in honor of Mrs. Daniel H. Murray at a musical in their lovely home, $293 1st street.

Lawrence, Mr. and Mrs. Rush Yerby, Mr. and Mrs. David McGowan, Mrs. Ella Martin, Mrs. Parrish. MR. MOSE SAMUELS, STUNG—BUT NOT BY A BEE. Most of us have heard the question "Where was Moses when the lights went out?" But the revised edition asks the question thusly: "Where was Moses when he woke up?" And for many minutes after he awakened it was a question in his mind (where am I?) For Mr. Mose Samuel, 6501 Rhodes avenue, trainman in the C, B & Q., having had rather a strenuous day in Salt Lake City, Utah, attending to lie down and sniff the salt his senses from the ocean, but instead his senses sniffed out and while in this state of frenzy his guests were placed in another car, Moses left in the arms of "Morphue." Suddenly he awakened, and seeing the great body of water, supposed himself in dear old Chl, but an air of strangeness convinced him he was in wrong. On asking where he was, was informed that he was in Salt Lake City. The lonesome feeling which took possession of the lonely one found its voice in a power to make Mr. Samuel a writer of poetry. Below is his first composition: "Of words of tongue or pen, The sadest are these, 'I'm stung again.'" ADMITTED TO BAR Attorney Elijah J. Graham, Jr., Colored, Admitted in Circuit Court, Wednesday. Wheeling, W. Va., Oct. 6.—It is with much elation that we learn of the admittance to the Ohio county bar as lawyer one E. J. Graham of Jacksonville, Fla. Mr. Graham arrived in Wheeling with high recommendations from several of the leading men of his home city, also of Washington and New York. The young lawyer is said to be most promising. He is a graduate from Howard university and a member in excellent standing of the District of Columbia bar. His admission to the Ohio bar gives him the only colored membership of said bar. The Defender is very proud of this young man and prediction is made that he will enjoy a successful future and for which he has our sincere wishes. MADAM J. WALLACE IMPROVING A reporter on a flying trip through Forest avenue noticed a late bulletin numbered 13 on the door of the home of Madam J. Wallace, 3250 Forest avenue, the fashionable hair dresser, whose place of business is 3247 Street street. The reporter, on reaching the door, read the bulletin, which announced the improvement in health of the madam; it also stated that she was at that moment eating a portion of the bird called chicken. With a heart full of joy the reporter bounded off the steps and went to spread the glad news that Mrs. Wallace would soon be at her store again. FREDERICK DOUGLASS CENTER Sunday afternoon, Oct. 8, at 4 p. m., Dr. S. G. Frances will give an address. Miss Pauline Lee will favor us with a music and vocal solo. GRACE WINS PENNANT Bishop Derrick's Wife's Base Ball Team, After a Four Year Battle, Won Not Only the South Division Cup, But Took the Flag for the Entire County. BOYS SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED. Sunday School to Give Banquet, Mrs. Derrick and Daughters to Attend—Great Excitement in the Rank and File of the Men—Representatives From the White Churches Who Had Teams in League to Attend in Body—Over 500 to Sit at Table at Once. When the news of the victory of the team she organized four years ago reached Mrs. Bishop Derrick by special wire from the Defender's office, she and her daughters sprang to their feet and began to hug each other. The bishop's daughters began to get-over-Sallie and do the short dog, cut the pigeon wing and all kinds of steps. In her reply, Mrs. Derrick, calling up over long distance, said: "Congratulate my boys, and tell them I will be on hand to attend the banquet." The report below was sent in over special wire to the office when the boys won: The Report and Score. Grace Derrickterian team, pennant winners of the South, and Edgewater Presbyterian team, pennant winner of the North.

In the days of Pharaoh, God sent plagues on the earth to tell the king that the Almighty did not approve of his bondage of the children of Israel. The plagues only served to make the lot of the slaves more bitter. Every persuasion was used, and not until Pharaoh and all his hosts were drowned did the Israelites gain their freedom. Coming down to modern times, things are very little changed, Bondage, murder and what is now called lynching, these horrors, as many years ago, are being perpetrated on the defenseless at every turn of life's wheel, God is sending some reminder of His displeasure, but as the Bible tells us, "They harden their hearts and stiffen their necks," which is the way of the captors of old, sooner or later Nemesis will overtake these destroyers of God's handiwork, and "woe be unto them." The latest evidence of God's displeasure is noted in the drowning of twelve of the mob who so brutally entered the hospital in Coalsville, Pa., and took from his bed an inoffensive man and lynched him. The men have received their just deserts. They were drowned in the flood which has swept over the state of Pennsylvania. "Vengance is mine, and I will repay," saith the Lord. THE NEW HOTEL PULLMAN. Chicago is the possessor of another fine hotel which is located at 3689-41-43 State street. It has ninety guest rooms and twenty baths. The hotel is equipped with all modern conveniences and furnished beautifully and up-to-date. Such a hostelry is worthy a place among others of its kind. Mr. J. A. Jones as proprietor is well known in the city and intends to make his place one of credit. 1 FRANK EHRLER, THE GER-MAN THUNDERBOLT 1 RECORD OF ILLA VINCENT AT THE PEKIN THEATRE.

An old saying is true, "The face is often a reflex of the mind," and in a measure it is no less true that the mind is a reflex of the face. Long-Headed Husbac1 "This is good wife. I must take home a few bottles to my wife." "She never touches wife, as you know" "True; but it will be a little present for her, and I can keep it from going to waste."—Washington Herald. What She Supposed. Shortly after Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, R. A., was knighted, he and Lady Alma-Tadema gave an "at home" at St John's Wood. Everybody present was congratulating them, and one lady was very profuse. "Oh, dear Sir Lawrence," she said, "I am awfully glad to bear of the honor you have received. I suppose now that you are knighted you will give up painting and live like a gentleman." An Exception. A pretty girl is a charming sight anywhere, except on the back of a motorcycle—Detroit Free Press. GIRL'S LONG SLEEP Young Woman in State of Comp for 100 Days. Physicians Attribute Miss Hazel Schmidt's Experience to Work Which Overtaxed Her Nervous System. Vandalia, Ill.—Hazel Schmidt, after a sleep of 100 days, recently awakened, and is picking up the loosse threads of life, reading the newspapers and marveling at the infinite number of things that can occur in so short a time. This remarkable sleep of a young and handsome woman is said by the doctors to be unprecedented in authentic cases of a similar nature. To be sure Rip Van Winkle was made to sleep 20 years by Washington Irving, but that story is fiction, while Hazel Schmidt's sleep is attested by hundreds who saw, and no one in this city will doubt its truth. It was on April 25 that she entered on the long sleep. The permanent awakening did not occur until Thursday, August 3, making it exactly 100 days that she was practically withdrawn from the world. During that 100 days the longest time that she could be kept awake was a period of two hours, and the longest period that she was asleep continually was 61 hours. Despite the fact that during these 100 days, and for four weeks before they began, and for two or three days after they were ended, she did not leave her bed, she looks and feels just as well today as when she entered on this record-breaking sleep. Her intellect appears just as keen as ever; she is interested in the world's doings, is eager for information, but is so sensitive about the remarkable experience that she has undergone that she will see no strangers, and she is lothet to discuss her case with even her closest personal friends and is even reticent when talking with her father and mother regarding it. Hazel Schmidt is 21 years old and is remarkably pretty. She is a trifle c Girl a Rip Van Winkle. above the medium height, is slender, weighing about 125 pounds, and is of a graceful carriage and figure. Five years age she accepted a position in the telephone exchange in Vandalia, and for five years she was employed there. She became the chief operator, and had charge of the long-distance wires. At first the work did not appear onerous, but during the last months those who knew her best could not fall to detect she was decidedly more nervous than she was when she undertook the work. Her father observed this, and he prevailed on her to abandon the work. She was ambitious, and after at first demurring she did give up the place, but accepted a clerkship in the office of the county clerk, and was employed on the arduous task of making out the tax books. Her nervousness increased to so alarming an extent that a doctor was called, and he diagnosed her condition as a weakening of the nervous system, and that a complete rest and no mental exertion was necessary to restore her to her normal condition. She gave up work altogether and remained at her home and went into society but little. During the latter part of March her condition became such that her family was alarmed. "There is no cause for apprehension," the doctor said. "It is pure hysteria, and with careful treatment she will eventually recover, but it may be a long time." During the first week of her strange sleep the girl was never awake to exceed a few minutes at a time. She appeared to suffer none. Her awakening wages were calm and peaceful. They were preceded by no nervous manifestations of any alarming character. She would open her eyes and calmly ask some question, and apparently did not realize that she had been asleep to an unusual extent. The fact that she had slept so long was kept from her for fear that it would frighten her. "Dad, bring me a glass of water," was the request and first intimation that George A. Schmidt received that Morpheus had relinquished his grip on the sleeping daughter. Attending physicians say that she has gained weight during her long sleeping spell, and that she will fully recover. Boy Is Speed Wonder Tarrytown, N. Y.-This city has a marvel, a messenger boy who put aside his bicycle, given to him by a telegraph company, because it was "too slow." He is Max Schwartz, 14 years old. Before Max went to work it took three boys to deliver the local messages. Now he does the work alone and has spare time. He is employed frequently by John D. Rockefeller as a special messenger when the oil man is at home. Max came to Tarrytown from Sleepy Hollow, but what's in a name? Professor Lowell Predicts the Nature But Says Mankind Will Have Many Years' Warning. Credulous individuals who are always fearful that some of the ends of the world predicted by sensational prophems may prove to be true, will find considerable comfort in the assertion of Professor Lowell that there is good scientific evidence for the belief that mankind will have many years' warning of the great catastrophe that is destined to put an end to al thing on this planet. According to Professor Lowell's statements there is somewhere within the remote confines of space a great mass of matter—once a world, but now dead—that is hurling itself toward our sun. In time it is certain to reach the goal to which it is tending, and when the two come together the globe on which we live is destined to cease to exist. Fortunately for our peace of mind, there is at the present moment no such dead world within dangerous proximity and yet any day it may appear. Any day the morning newspapers may announce that one of these dark bodies has come within the reach of the telescope—that it may readily be seen by the light of the sun reflected upon it. While it would then be certain that the end of the world was in sight, there would still be ample time in which to prepare for the inevitable. If the first view of the intruder were caught at the eleventh magnitude—it could scarcely come much nearer without being detected—it would not be until 27 years later that it would become visible to the naked eye, and three years more would elapse before it appeared to us equal in size to a first magnitude star. In two years and three months more it would have come as near to us as Jupiter, and by that time it would be far the brightest star in the sky. In fact, its effect upon the world would already be felt. Our seasons would change and the days would grow longer. Finally just 145 days later, those who were still alive would witness the beginning of the end. The stranger would not strike the earth, but would pass as close in its dash to the sun that the earth would turn and follow until together they would drop silently into the sun. He Plays Games to Order. An inoffensive, prosperous person is the game player, who is on hire in the streets of one of the old quarters of Paris. He is alone in his trade or profession, but probably in years gone by there were many more of him. He is very clean and well fed looking, neatly though not richly dressed, and he walks about with a box under his arm, crying at intervals. "Lamateur, voil' l'amateur!" His clients are the convalescent, the lonely, the infirm, and he carries with him a pleasant atmosphere of recreation; he is the professional time killer for those who are forced to be idle and inactive. This "amateur" is a game player. His box is filled with bedside games, such as draughts, cards, lotto, chess, though he is modest about his chess and does not offer himself as a champion. He haunts more especially the fascinating City Island, where are presumably old fashioned people who might be glad of an old fashioned hired companion for an hour of draughts or marble, to be played in their own sitting room instead of in the public, noisy cafe.—London Evening Standard. Then and Now Prior to the last fifteen years, by the time people had attained their first quarter of a century, they considered themselves pretty much formed as to physical and mental characteristics. If they were ambitious and energetic, they perhaps carried on some kind of exercise for their physical well-being, and guarded against mental deterioration as they advanced in years by occasionally taking up new studies or reviewing old ones; as a dear old lady of my acquaintance at the age of eighty-nine began to review her algebra to keep her mind active. Now everything is changed. We cannot settle down comfortably in the thought of anything in the regular routine of life which we may not be called upon to alter at a moment's notice. Most of us have found that few of our established habits are right, and that unless we are willing to be left hopelessly behind our associates we must learn over again all that we required in infancy, and that has since become a matter of automatic action.—From the Atlantic. Vicarious Candy. Down among the tenements of the old Greenwich village, where factories are becoming unpleasantly plentiful, a group of children was playing in a gutter. A passerby walked slowly, watching the active preparations of a "little mother," aged about seven, who was marshaling her charges into order, apparently in preparation for some urban excursion. Something had gone wrong and one small kid was howling. "Shut your noise, Tommy Higgins, and be good this minute!" admonished the motherlet, with a promissory snack. "If you don't stop like it tell you I leave you right here in the mud gutter. Yez can't go wid as till yez closes yer nose and be's a good boy. Do you know where we're goin'? Well, we goin' in the next block to the candy factory to smell the candies cookin'. And do yer know what they're makin' today? Well, it's chocolate creams an peppmints." Dog That Guarded a Cat When my dog was a puppy I got a little kitten to keep him company. They got to be good friends, but as they got older the cat seemed to think she could take care of herself. When the cat climbed a tree it seemed to puzzle the dog, and he would stand below the tree and look up at the cat and then at me, as if trying to understand how the cat could get up into the tree while he had to stay on the ground. When evening came the dog would hunt up the cat and carry her to the kennel where they slept at night. The dog kept one of his forelegs over the cat, and there she had to stay until morning. At last the cat was killed, but I have the dog yet.—Fur News. Feathers Cleaned, Dyed and Curled HATS BLOCKED 4732 State St. CHICAGO Telephone Douglas 1946 SURRADGE R. CAMERON & CO.

The latest idem or raising water for fire-extinguishing purposes to the uppermost floors of tall buildings is to lift the hose by means of the passenger or freight elevators. A simple attachment is provided for affixing the hose to the floor of the elevator, the pipe being coiled up in the bottom of the shaft so as to be easily raised. In a recent demonstration at Memphis, Tenn., say Popular Mechanics, it was said that the water arrived at the sixth floor of a building practically as soon as the floor was reached by the elevator, and the fire chief of that city recommended the compulsory adoption of the device by all buildings provided with elevators. The hose is inserted in the attachment about two sections behind the discharge nozzle, these sections being coiled on the elevator floor. Curing Forgetfulness I used to be very forgetful, and could not remember half the time where I had put things around the house, says a writer in Harper's Bazar. Finally I hit on this scheme. I live in the upper flat of a two-family house, and there are just eight rooms in our flat. I got a big white sheet of paper, and wrote on it the names of the eight rooms, and beside the name of each room I wrote the name of a certain place in that room. I decided that every time I put anything out of my hands for a minute I would put it in the place beside the name of that room on the paper. The paper I tacked up in a conspicuous place in my own room. By using this system I always knew just where to look for things, and after a little while I got so in the habit of putting things in certain places and of remembering where I put them that I no longer needed the paper. The Broken Heart. "The party will recover from this check," said Mayor Craig of Covington, apropos of a temporary setback. "They say the party will be broken. I'd reply that it will be about as much broken as young Lansing's heart. "A chorus girl who had refused young Lansing said to a friend: 'I have broken his heart, I fear.' "You have. You certainly have, the friend replied, 'You've broken it right in half.' "In half? What do you mean? "I mean that he takes two girls out to supper every night now." Paper Drinking Cups In the schools of Austria the children are taught to carry several sheets of writing paper in their pockets at all times. Then, when a child is thirsty, he can roll one of the sheets into a cone and make a perfectly serviceable cup which may be placed, after being used, in the nearest waste paper box. How to roll the cones defly is taught the children. The tearing of a notch about half an inch long near one end before rolling the cone serves to make the improved cup stronger. Cheap Mode of Living With no rent to pay, no street car fares or other of the usual unavoidable city expenses to meet, the barge and canal boat men of the Netherlands live possibly the most frugal lives of any of the urban working classes in Europe. They, with their families, exist in the bulls of their craft. The rooms are small, with little ventilation, and necessarily low to enable the boats to pass under the bridges. The decks form the children's playground. Chickens are sometimes kept on the boat and consume the garbage. Calls promptly answered R. W.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1911. If they whip Italy up goes the price of spaghetti. The man who waters your lawn has had a quiet time of it this week. October has a cold way of reminding you of your follicles of the past summer. The bean eaters is The Defender's latest creation. It may be found on page 8. The man who will chew a prune for twenty minutes ought to be divorced. Germany, England and Russia see the little powers on to fighting and when they can't help themselves divide the spoils. Col. Marshall and his gallant Eighth might go over there and spank two or three of those unruly countries. Then maybe they'd be good. At last some of the dancing rags At last some of the dancing, rags When you come to think of it the man with the dark skin isn't the only one who commits crimes that make the whole world stand agast. and such stuff are leaving the spotlight and farce comedy and playlets are taking their places, for which we are thankful. We understand there is no danger of police interference in Africa. Jack Johnson might go there and get into as big and as many scraps as he wants to. A man with a cool million of gold dust (not the kind the twins use) in a sack in on his way from Alaska. He will receive a hearty welcome from his poor relations and from friendly strangers anxious to see that he has a good time, at his expense, to say nothing of his creditors. The police are hot after the fortune tellers. Before they all go out of business we should like to consult one of them and find out how soon delinquent subscribers are going to pay up. Noah Davis Thompson, who did so much in the way of getting our young men and women good paying positions in the loop district, and who made such a splendid record for himself at the United States Express Company, has proven to Booker T. Washington his worth during his initial year at his institution and as a result now holds one of the most responsible offices there. Noah is a self made man in every particular and it would be well for many of our young men to follow his example. In another column will be found each week, under the caption "Dream, Just Dreams," a few thoughts expressed by a plag. He has a habit of telling but you in a purely personal way, but as he doesn't stick strictly to the truth no offence should be taken at its remarks. His only aim is to amuse readers of The Defender. One would never suppose we were living in a Christian age, judging from the crimes that are daily committed and the wars which are ever present. True, we need missionaries, 'we need them at home; and along same line we might add that if seeded the hat this way many pop in a few sheckels to send sow the Mason and Dixon line. has always been a mystery why grantly intelligent people, when at concert or an entertainment of any high order, will laugh and talk while some singer or reader is trying to be heard. It is very ill-mannered and tows a lack of good breeding. If the entertainment is not to your liking, it up and go out but do not disturb ose who do enjoy it and have paid or just that privilege. The Defender received a letter from the I. B. W. Club informing the editor at Mrs. Francis Wooley was not the first woman to investigate the Ark Ridge Industrial School for girls, and stating that the honor rightly belonged to the I. B. W. Club. The Defender wishes to say in vindication that it is only responsible as all other papers for what it knows hears. And again, Mrs. Wooley her every act for our people makes one known through the medium of the press. And if the honors are misused it is but a just chastisement or a lack of proper respect or a too flippish desire to keep the public from nowing what is rightfully theirs to now. Doctors' E-Colleges.

LOUIS COLORED FOLKS USED AS NEST-EGG OF RACE. St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 6.—H. H. Klinyon of Clinton, Mo., gave his opinion of the Negroes as a race and as an individual when he said in his talk before several friends: "If the Negroes as a race were up to the standard of those of Missouri they might well be trusted to work out their own salvation." Although the outlook from Mr. Klinyon's viewpoint as to our high standard as a race is doubtful when as a matter of fact an optimistic view would be the more commendable as the race not only in Missouri but all over the country is rising to every emergency and are rapidly gaining the self-reliance which will place them as the foremost race of the world. Those of the race who are located in Columbia, Mo., should feel themselves much flattered by the many kind things the gentleman says of them. In part his discourse was as follows: "An excellent faculty is employed in the colored schools of the city, Prof. H. L. Cox, a graduate of Howard college, Washington, D. C., is at the head of the school. Salaries for the teachers range from $45 to $90 per month. The town has not all laboring men; among the number are several well educated ones who have graduated from some of the finest colleges in the country. The individual wealth of the prosperous ones in some cases estimate $35,000." In all walks of life Mr. Kinyon speaks of the great achievements of the portion of our race located in Missouri. It is to be hoped the gentleman will at his earliest make a tour of other states and prove conclusively to himself the fact that the Negro is fully capable of taking care of himself, especially if he only comes in contact with the best of th' white and not its worst element. THE PARK RIDGE OME. The following letter, s a reply to the one sent by the Frederick Douglass Center to the Illinois Industrial School for Girls: Chicago, Ill., Sept. 30—To the Frederick Douglass Center: The board of the Illinois Industrial School begs to acknowledge receipt of your communication of the 20th inst., inquiry concerning the policy of the school regarding its colored wards. Replying thereto the board desires to assure you that it has but one policy for all its wards. When the change was made from Evanston to Park Ridge, the wards were of necessity placed in homes pending the building at Park Ridge. As cottages have been built, these wards have been transferred from such homes to Park Ridge. At present we have 75 girls there, 14 at Hepesbain, 14 at Mrs. Covington's and 36 still in independent homes. As rapidly as may be these children will be moved to Park Ridge. In the meantime the board feels that the wards at Mrs. Covington's are better cared for than at any time during its guardianship of them and is using its utmost endeavor to improve conditions still further. The children attend the public school and have the same teacher in domestic science as at Park Ridge. The board wishes to express its appreciation of the interest of the Center in these children and to assure you that should you be able to place the children to better advantage the board of the industrial school will cheerfully yield its guardianship of such children. Very truly yours, ELLEN M. HENROTIN, President. BEING BRISK A GOOD HABIT Children Should Be Taught Quickness In Running Errands and in Dressing Themselves. If a child is allowed to acquire a slow, dawdling manner when told to do any particular duty it will be found very difficult to effect a cure, and this means a serious hindrance to success in after years. Teach them while very young to do everything promptly and to finish what they have commenced. If they are sent on a message make them to clearly understand that they must go direct to the shop and not lolter on the way. Children may be seen at any time carrying a message and lingering to look at everything on the way. I often wonder at what time the poor mother gets her messages home, when I see a child lottering about instead of walking along briskly, Quickness in dress, also, should be insisted upon. If too young to dress themselves they should be taught to keep still while the mother or sister puts on their clothing. At a later age forbid any running about the house until fully dressed—and quickly dressed. Some little maidens are 'ather fond of looking in the glass while dressing and this is a habit which should be at once repressed. It not only encourages vanity but it causes the child to waste much valuable time. How Perfume Is Weighed It was the Italian physician Salvioni who devised a microbalance of such extreme delicacy that it clearly demonstrated the loss of weight of musk by volatilization. Thus the invisible perfume floating in the air is indirectly weighed. The essential part of the apparatus is a very thin thread of glass, fixed at one end and extended horizontally. The microscopic objects to be weighed are placed upon the glass thread near its free end and the amount of flexure produced is observed with a microscope magnifying 100 diameters. A mote weighing one thousandth of a milligram is said perceptibly to bend the thread.-Buffalo Courier. Good In Skyscrapers "These skyscrapers are a great convenience," said the man who is engrossed in business. "In what way?"

The Defender reports have referred to the lack of appreciation on the part of men who appear at social functions in business suits, again and again, and we note a little change, we are glad to say, as some men are showing good judgment by remaining away when they do not possess a dress suit, yet there are a few men who presume to attend these affairs in an outfit that really reflects instead of adding to the occasion. It shows ignorance, to say the least, therefore we are now going to appeal to the wives and sweethearts of these gentlemen by asking them not to accompany the men unless they dress in keeping with the affair, as it not only reflects on the affair, but it reflects on them as well, when wearing their lovely gowns. All those wishing to enter as contestants should communicate with Mr. Foster, 5300 Dearborn street, at once. Mrs. Daniel H. Murry of Washing- on, D. C., Mrs. A. W. Williams and Mrs. Charles E.

He is spending a few days with his mother in Berlermont, Mich. Moth Balls in the Orient "You will find strange names for ordinary things in the Far East," said an American who has recently been in those parts. "When I struck Singapore I had a lot of heavy clothes with me which had been necessary on a journey across Siberia. I decided to put them away in a trunk, but thought I would get some moth balls from a drug store. "Moth balls? repeated the chemist with a stare. "Why, yes; those things that you put in clothes to keep moths out," I explained. "Oh, he said, intelligence showing in his eyes, 'you mean aphthalated marbles.'" Valuable Jamalcan Woods. The most valuable of the Jamaican woods are the yaca, the bully tree, ironwood, habeo, juniper, cedar, mahogany, lignum vitae, ebony, fiddlewood, yoke, prickly yellow, broad leaf, soapwood, cashew and calabash. Hardwood is used principally for railway sleepers, telegraph poles and fence posts, cedars used chiefly for native shingles and furniture, and other woods are used in building houses in the highlands. Unfortunately the streams are not large enough to log them to the coast, but there is no reason why portable engines and sawmills should not be utilized so as to turn these woods into the market.

Friday evening. Lisette's grandfather was taking her back to Honolulu, after she had finished her course in a fashionable San Francisco boarding school. Lisette had been an apt pupil in conforming with American fashions. Her grandfather hoped devotedly the first time he saw his transformed Honolulu lady that she had derived as much from the text-books as evidently she had imbued from the style journals. Jimmie spied Lisette as soon as the steamer left port. Anxious to become acquainted with her, he followed the couple on deck. "We are especially fortunate," the old gentleman was saying. "Never have I been on a smoother sailing vessel. You wouldn't know we were moving. The waves aren't even nervous." "Pardon me," broke in Jimmy. "We haven't started yet." His inimitable smile must have been contagious for Lissette smiled back at him with the most beautiful smile that commenced in her great candid eyes and rippled all over her face. From that minute Jimmy was her devoted admirer. Everyone called the lad "Jimmy," old and young were soon under the fascination of the big fellow with the round, over-grown baby face. "Jimmy shadows that pretty little Honolulu girl all over the deck," said the captain's wife. "Yes, and that old grandfather shadows them both. Just as soon as he's comfortably seated in his steamer chair, engrossed in some novel, he spies his granddaughter with Jimmy, and he's off after them." "Jimmy came from the same town as we do," continued the captain's wife, and through some influence secured the appointment of paymaster in the navy; that smile must have been a birthday present to him, as I've rarely seen him without it except when he scows resentfully at Lissette's grandfather." Each day ripened the friendship between Jimmy and Lissette. The old man was nearly frantic; he grew thin and wore an habitual strained, worried look, afraid to leave them out of his sight for a moment, he could be seen hobbling up and down the deck all day long. The time drew near when Lissette was to land. All smiles had left their faces. Jimmy was to go on and to go on meant a separation for months. They hade each other good-by, but not a word of love or endearment had escaped Jimmy's lips. "I'd rather die," he said to himself, "than ask a girl to starve on my income. If ever I'm promoted, then me for Honolulu." "Please forward my fan," wrote Lasette to the captain's wife. "and have some friends on board write their names on it as a memento of the glorious days on the ship." "What are you doing?" asked Jimmie as he noticed a young man scrawling his name on a fan covered with hieroglyphics. "He's writing his name on your charming Honolulu friend's fan," explained a young woman standing nearby. "You're the next on the list. Last the best of all." "Give it to me; I'll send it to her," said Jimmie, raging with jealousy. When the fan was in his possession he scratched out all the names and in the small space left, wrote: "Darling, what do you want with all those names when you can have mine for keeps? Received notice of my promotion this morning.--Jimmie Horton." Jimmie was again his smiling self when he received a message from his mother that they rather have your name than any other under the sun. Grandfather is furious." Rattlesnakes That Swim Rattlesnakes That Swim. There is one curious thing that the O. C. has noticed on the Winnipipippees islands—the smaller islands—which are situated say a mile or so from the mainland—the presence of mice and once, will write a rat. Now, the question is, how these pests get from the mainland to the islands. Swim? One old cottager says that he has a theory that perhaps the rates, or mice, come in luggage, like packing boxes, that convey the goods of settlers on the islands. Still, it is possible that they swim from the mainland. The O. C. once told the story that rattlesnakes now and then swam from Rattlesnake island to the mainland shore. Nearly everybody has laughed at the editor for making that statement. Well, if you don't believe it, ask Professor Thyng, the teacher of drawing in the Manchester public schools, who owns a piece of land on the Glifford shore, or did own a lot there. He will tell you that rattlesnakes swimming across the lake are not a myth by any means.—Manchester Union. Profusion of Butterflies A curious phenomenon, attributed to the abnormally hot summer, is being observed at Rouen, France, in the form of an invasion of butterflies. At night wonderful scenes are witnessed when the beautiful insects, of all sizes and colors, swarm in thousands round two powerful are lamps the brightest of all. The Councille. The air in the vicinity of the square is so thick with butterflies that from a distance the spectacle resembles a heavy snowstorm. The Advantage. It had been raining for twenty-four hours, and the ground was more like a lakes than a football field, but the referee could not see his way to postpone the match. "Surely you aren't going to make us play in this?" asked the visiting captain. "Of course you must play," declared the man with the whistle. "Now, don't hang about You've won the toss. Which end are you taking?" "Oh, well." came the reply, with a wish of resignation. "I reckon we'd better kick with the tide."—Tit-Bits. "The ruling passions of men assert their power even in the face of death," said a physician connected with a leading New York hospital to a Herald reporter. "They will possess the dying at the final moment as intensely as they did throughout life, and they prove beyond question that the right dissolution is subordinate to the dominant passions that control the mind." "How do you mean?" asked the reporter. "I mean that men who have followed certain paths of life cannot depart from them even at the final moment," was the reply. "It is as simple a proposition as a common rule of mathematics. When a financier is dying his last thought is upon the securities and funds he is to leave behind him, and until he falls into the state of coma which generally precedes death he discusses his financial affairs with members of his family. It a man's life has been devoted to thoughts of revenge upon his enemies and death overtakes him before his mission has been accomplished, his only regret in passing is that his object in life has not been attained." Then the doctor told of two gamblers who died in a hospital some years ago. They had been chums and both contracted consumption about the same time. One was thirty-eight years old, the other ten years his junior, and each was willing to bet his last coin upon the right or wrong of any question as he viewed it. "I was in the ward one day when I heard these dying gamblers discussing their situation," said the doctor. "They occupied cots only a few feet apart, and faced each other cheerfully. They were so exhausted they could hardly speak above whispers, but they felt confident they would recover. I knew differently and I realized, they did not, that both would be dead within ten or fifteen hours. "Say, Jim," said the elder man, "we're getting down to cases. Pears like you're gold" to cash in ahead of me." "But you $3, all I've got, Sam, you cash in ahead of me," replied Jim, his face flushing with excitement. "You're on, Jim," returned Sam smilingly. "I've got the dough in my wallet." "This remarkable duel of two dying men," went on the physician, "necessitated a stakeholder, and the money of both was taken by a nurse and placed upon a chair between them within the reach of either. They chaffed each other for a time, and Jim asked if Sam would donate the stake to the hospital if he won. Sam answered that he purposed to have a good time with it at Coney Island or elsewhere. Their joking really was ghastly, and it was quite evident that all thoughts of death had been forgotten in the excitement of the outcome of the wager." "The end came swiftly; Sam was eyeing the little roll of bills upon the chair longingly, but his eyes began to droop and his respiration became stertorous. Jim watched Sam longingy, and his quickened respiration and glazing eyes indicated that he was in the final throes. Three hours after the bet was made Sam tay silent, a smile of expectancy upon his wan cheeks. "The poor chap had lost the bet," said the doctor, "and I lost no time in telling Jim he had won. If ever I sa' rapture in the eyes of any man I saw it in Jim's. He asked me to give him the money, and as I placed it in his nerveless hand he whispered, 'I always could beat Sam at any game,' and died as peacefully as any saint. "Jim had a sister, and the money went to her, with some jewelry of slight value." Polite Japanese Police The Japanese police, one of whose chiefs has been, studying English methods at Scotland Yard with a view of improvement in his own force, was originally the most aristocratic body of the kind in the world, says the London Chronicle. Its establishment was almost coincident with the emperor's decree forbidding the wearing of swords. By a stroke of the imperial pen the Samurai were deprived of cherished weapons, by which the gentlemen of Japan had been accustomed from immemorial times to advertise their rank. So they went into the police, where it was still possible to carry a sword, and a very formidable weapon it was, being of the two-handed variety. Perhaps the police 20 years ago were rather too fond of chopping a prisoner in half instead of arresting him, but they were very expert, and there was seldom any evidence to contradict their own version of the incident. To people of their own rank and to foreigners, they are police in a degree, which would have seemed ludicrous anywhere except in the land of honorifics. Wealth in Long-Submerged Logs. Probably the most peculiar numbering operations in the world are being carried on in the Bay of Quinte, or the northern shore of Lake Ontario, forty miles from Oswego, N. Y., where powerful engines are hoisting valuable oak and walnut logs from the bottom of the bay. Some of them are fifty feet long and sound as the day they were felled, though many of the logs have been submerged for two five years. Long ago the lake was rounded by magnificent forests of pine and black walnut, and when logs were felled and run into the for shipment, great numbers of heaviest sank through their weight or because they were co with snow. Divers recently tained that the bottom of the bay, full of logs, and barges equipped engines and grappling hooks are hoisting them for commercial poses. Hundreds of dollars' wo. raised daily. ( 1 ) The Places Are Pine Ridge and Rosebud Reservations in South Dakota—The Defender Wants All the Young Men and Women Who Have Trades and Professions to Get Some of This Land. BEAT THE FOREIGNER TO THIS LAND. The Date to Register Is Oct. 2 to 21—The Drawing Begins at Gregory Oct. 24—The Places to Register Are Gregory, Dallas and Rapid City, S. D. The Northwestern Railroad Offers the Best Inducement for You to Travel to This-Great Country—They Have Colored Help and Employ More of Them Than Any Road Going West—Write Them at Once. Who May Register—How to Register. Any person desiring to make homemead entry on any of these lands must go in person to one of the registration points named by the Government, there appearing between Oct. 2d and 21st, to swear to and present their application for registration (if they are not entitled to registration through an agent account service in the Civil War or the war with Spain). Dallas, Gregory, and Rapid City, S.D., have been designated as registration points. The applicant must swear to his application before a notary public at the registration point. Judge James W. Witten, the superintendent of the drawing, furnishes a certificate of authority to these notaries public, and no applicant should swear to his application before any notary who does not exhibit a certificate of this kind. No payment will be required for the privilege of registering, but a fee of twenty-five cents must be paid to the notary for each cath administered. No person can present more than one application in his own behalf, and one as an agent for a soldier, sailor or his widow or minor orphan children. Soldiers and Sailors. Soldiers and sailors honorably discharged after ninety days' service during the War of the Rebellion, the Spanish-American War or the Philippine Insurrection, or their widows or minor orphan children, need not go to either of the registration points for the purpose of registering, but may register through agents appointed for them for that purpose. A soldier's widow cannot register if she has remarried, and a minor child cannot register if its mother is still living and unmarried. Persons who have served in the Army or Navy in time of peace or served less than ninety days in wars named above, and the children of soldiers who are over twenty-one years of age, must register in person and cannot register by agent. Blank powers of attorney for the appointment of agent can be obtained by addressing Judge James W. Witten at Washington, D. C., prior to September 25, 1911, or by addressing him at Gregory, S. D., after that date. Any person over sixteen years of age, regardless of his qualifications to make homestead entry, may act as agent for any soldier, sailor, widow or their minor orphan children, but no person can act as agent for more than one such. The Drawing. All applications for registration must reach the registration points not later than 12 o'clock midnight, Oct. 21, 1911, and the drawing will take place at Gregory, S. D., beginning at 10 a. m., Oct. 24, 1911. All envelopes containing applications will be thoroughly mixed and envelopes will be selected therefrom indiscriminately one at a time, the applications therein to be numbered as selected. The numbers first assigned will control the order in which the entries will be made. The first application drawn will be No. 1, and be given choice of all lands subject to entry. The person to whom No. 2 is assigned will be given second choice, and so on. By this method every person who registers will have an equal chance, the man registers last having the same opportunity as the man who registers first, to secure a selection of the lands. As fast as the numbers are assigned postal card noticees thereof will be mailed to each applicant to whom a number is assigned, and a few days later there will also be mailed to each person to whom a number is assigned a large envelope with his number printed on the outside, and with copies of the proclamation and regulations governing the opening, and a copy of the homestead laws and regulations contained therein. Persons who register should be careful to see that the postoffice address to which they desire notices mailed is correct. Lists giving names and addresses of all persons to whom numbers are assumed will also be publicly posted at the registration points, and result of each day's drawings will given to newspapers to be publish as a matter of news. Final Entry. Having selected the land he desires, next step for the successful appl- is the finl entry of the tract in same as a homestead. entries will be made before 9 k a. m., April 1, 1912. All pergiven the privilege of making will be notified of the exact when they must appear and end if they fall to appear they will lose all rights under the numbers assigned them. These rights cannot be sold or transferred to another person, but the widow or heirs of the applicant may make entry in their own right on that day. On the date of entry each applicant must personally present certificate of registration and make the first payment on the lands, being one-fifth of the appraised value. The remainder of the purchase money may be paid in five annual installments. Notice of the time and place where applicants may make their entries will be mailed to them at the address given in their applications for registration. Any change in address should be sent to Judge James W. Witten at General Land Office, Washington, D. C. THE MEN AT Beginning Business Are Takimon Sch They Ha THOUSAI More Beaut 'Residence on the Land. Residence upon the land must be begun within six months after the date of entry, and must be continued with cultivation, and to the exclusion of a home elsewhere, until a patent has been earned, either by five years' residence and cultivation and the payment of the installments of purchase money annually, or by fourteen months' actual and continuous residence and cultivation and the payment of all the unpaid purchase money. Soldiers, sailors, their widows or minor orphan children who have actually resided on the land for twelve months, can claim credit on the remaining four years' residence required by the law for the period of the soldier's military service. qualified to make homestead entry: 1. A married woman, unless she has been deserted or abandoned by her husband, or unless her husband is incapacitated by disease or otherwise from earning a support for his family, and she is the head and main support of the family. 2. One not a citizen of the United States, and who has not declared his intention to become such. 3. One under twenty-one years of age, not the head of a family. 4. One who is the proprietor of more than 160 acres of land in any state or territory. The ownership of a town lot or any other amount of land in excess of 160 acres, disqualifies the owner from making entry. Homesteads Not Saleable. Do not attempt to buy out a homestead without keeping in view the fact that he can give you no title as against the United States. If you purchase a relinquishment of his claim it must run to the United States. Entries and fillings for the purpose of holding the land for speculation are illegal and fraudulent, and the sale of relinquishments is also illegal. Write A. C. Johnson, Passenger Traffic Manager, Chicago. LAMBS AS BURNT OFFERINGS Sacrifices for Benefit of Flocks Made by Shepherds of the Brit- lish Isles. Adalodea Gosset's "Shepherds of Britain" tells us that a lamb was burned alive by a farmer in recent times to deliver his focks from a spell which he believed to have been cast upon them, and that Prof. Rhys knew a very old woman who told him that she remembered seeing a live sheep burned as a sacrifice. A lady contributor states that lambs have been sacrificially burned, whether alive or not she does not say, within living memory in the isle of Man May day. The author, as well as one of her contributors, believes that the name collis is taken from the black-faced Highland sheep, which were formerly called collis or colleys; hence the dogs which drove them came to be called collis dogs, now abbreviated into collis. It may astonish some southerners to learn that in Shetland, during the winter, when the pastures have become bare of grass, the sheep, and for that matter, the ponies also, feed largely upon seaweed; but this is not so much to be wondered at when we remember that human beings sometimes eat the same food on the west coast of Ireland. One of the greatest enemies of the shepherd is an eagle, when he takes to lamb eating which very many eagles do. "The eagle is the most voracious glutton, and the best chance for the shepherd to take his revenge is when he weathers on a bird gorged to the beak with downed mutton. Then the prince of the air and the mountains may be knocked senseless with a staff." In return for the pleasure of reading her book we offer the author the following information relating to sheep. As is well known, there is no bad habit of which it is more difficult to break a dog than that of chasing sheep. In many cases all that can be done is to destroy the dog. The next neighbor of the reviewer had a pack of hounds, one of which became a confirmed and apparently incurable sheep runner. Its master had also a fine flock of Shropshire sheep, and selecting the largest and most powerful ram he coupled the delinquent to it and turned them into a large grass field. Much alarmed at being attached to its canine companion, the ram galloped furiously round and round the field, dragging the reluctant hound after it until both lay down thoroughly exhausted. Nothing would induce the hound ever to look at a sheep again. Indeed, instead of running after sheep, for the future it ran away from them.—The Tablet. Pistol Mightier Than Snuffbox. Robert Pinkerton once told a story of his father, the founder of the detective agency, which illustrates the elder Pinkerton's caution. A noted criminal was detained in Pinkerton's Chicago office. The elder Pinkerton left the room, and when he returned took the precaution of holding a revolver in front of him. He saw the criminal standing by the door with a snuffbox he had picked up from Pinkerton's desk in his hand. "This is good snuff," affably remarked the crook as he took a sniff. "For the eyes or the nose?" asked Pinkerton, who knew that the crook had intended to blind him in an effort to escape. "Well," remarked the criminal, "Tm sorry to say that the nose gets it this time."

Medical Binner Texan Long a Distinguished Figure in Congress: Lawyer Who Represented the Lone Star State in the House and Senate for Twenty-Six Years Passes Away. Corsicana, Tex.-The death of former United States Senator Roger Q. Mills occurred at his home in Corsicana, after an illness lasting four years. He was known as a Democrat and tariff reformer of the most uncompromising type and had rounded out a long and brilliant career in both houses at Washington. During the 19 years he served in the house of representatives and the seven he was in the United States senate, Mr. Mills was a leader of the Democratic party, although criticised and opposed by many of his colleagues because of his radical views on tariff matters. Roger Quarles Mills was born near the old town of Salem in Todd county, Kentucky, in 1832. When he was 17 years old he moved to Palestine, Texas, and soon afterward took up the study of law. When he was 20 years old he was admitted to the bar by means of a special act of the legislature. He settled at Corsicana, hung out his shingle and went into politics enthusiastically. Clients came rapidly and Mills soon became known as one of the best lawyers in the Lone Star state. When the Civil war commenced he entered the Confederate service as lieutenant colonel, fought at Wilson's creek, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge and Atlanta, was wounded three times and finally came out of the war a brigade commander. After some experience in the Texas legislature he was elected to the house of representatives in 1873, and served continuously in that body until 1892. In that year he was elected to the senate, where for seven years he commanded respect and made a distinct impression. When he retired Roger Q. Mille from political life he interested himself in the oil business and made a great deal of money. In his time Mills was a figure that Washington people were fond of pointing out to strangers. Tall, straight as an Indian, and of commanding presence, he was a man to be marked in any crowd. His forehead was high, broad and full and he combed his gray hair well back from it. His nose was straight. He wore a mustache and a goatse. His face was full and his complexion fair. Senator Mills preferred shoes to shoes, went about in the double-breasted coat affected by statesmen, preferred low turnover collars and black string ties and appeared always in spodels white linen. He liked felt hats, wore spectacles and disliked jewelry. His watch was something of a curiosity. It was a finely chased, solid gold hunting case timepiece, the face of which bore the 11 letters of his name, R-o-g-e-Q-M-I-1-1-6, in place of figures, beginning with the hour marked seven, and the lone star of Texas taking the place of the 12th letter and standing for six. In manners he was blunt and straightforward, being a man of strong convictions and unquestioned courage. He was an excellent speaker and kept his head in debate. DOG GUARDS A MAN'S BODY For Seven Monhts Starving Animal Stayed In Cabin of Trapper In Cascade Mountains. Portland, Ore.—A tale of a dog's devotion that will rank with the best of the traditions of a dog's devotion to his master comes from the Cascade mountains, this state. Last autumn John Parker, who was more than 50 years of age, left his cabin in Bend, accompanied by his dog, and started out on a trapping expedition on the headwaters of the McKenzie river. Usually with the arrival of spring he would return with a heavy load of pelts but last spring he failed to put in an appearance and friends in Bend formed a searching party to look for the trapper. In a rude hut on the banks of a body of water known as Lava lake they found the man's body, and by the side of the corpse, all skin and bones, lay his faithful dog. The animal had devoured every piece of leather and scrap about the place, but had never touched the body. The canine is now being fed by one of Parker's old friends in Bend. Negro Graveyard on Fire Winchester, Va.—Terrified negresses ran pelmill shouting "Judgment day is here!" when fire was discovered in the Orrick cemetery, in which hundreds of colored people are buried. A lot owner had gone there to burn dry grass on his lot, and the fire made rapid headway, enveloping the entire cemetery in flames in a short time. Dances Seven Hours and Dies St. Paul, Minn.—After dancing for seven hours, A. E. Scott took his young woman partner to a refreshment stand at a dance hall and toppled over dead as he was about to drink a glass of soda. Miss Manie Webb, the partner, stood by his side as he fell. Ancient Recipe Tells the Method, but It Will Be Found Rather Complicated. A. E. Haite, a compiler of litera- ry curiosities, has been collect- ing formulas of ancien witchcraft, charms, spells and magical cures from all kinds of rare old books and pa- pers. These are belog published under the title of ancient witchcraft, charms, spells and magical cures from all kinds of rare old books and papers. These are belag published under the title of "Book of Ceremonial Magic," and reveal amazing credulity on the part of some of our forefathers and foremothers, who took more stock in witchcraft than we are supposed to do in this enlightened age. For instance, here is a recipe for making yourself invisible. Just imagine how valuable the gift of invisibility would be today if this recipe was any good and could be made use of. "Begin this operation on a Wednesday before the sun rises, being furnished with seven black beans. Take next the head of a dead man; place one of the beans in his mouth, two in his eyes and two in his ears. Then make upon the head the character of the figure which here follows (omitted.) This done, inter the head with the face toward Heaven, and every day before sunrise, for the space of nine days, water it with excellent brandy. "On the eighth day you will find the elited spirit, who will say unto you: 'What does thou?' You shall reply, 'I am watering my plant.' He will then say, 'Give me that bottle; I will water it myself.' You will answer by refusing, and he will again ask you; but you will persist in declining, until he shall stretch forth his hand and show you the same figure which you have traced upon the head suspended from the tips of his fingers. In this case you may be assured that it is really the spirit of the head, because another might take you unawares, which would bring you evil, and, further, your operation would be unfruitful. When you have given him your phial he will water the head and depart. On the morrow, which is the ninth day, you shall return and shall find your beans ripe. Take them, place one in your mouth, and then look at yourself in a glass. If you cannot see yourself it is good. Do the same with the rest, or they may be tested in the mouth of a child." LOCATING THE BONE "LUZ" Osticle From Which Body Is Reconstructed, According to the Ancient Hebrew Writers. Much scholarship and anatomical knowledge has been employed from time to time in efforts to identify the bone Luz, said by ancient Hebrew writers to be the nucleus from which the body is reconstructed at the resurrection. forts to identify the bone Luz, said by ancient Hebrew writers to be the nucleus from which the body is reconstructed at the resurrection. There are many marvelous stories of the indestructibility of Luz, and the bone has been located by rival claimants to the honor of discovering it in various parts of the human skeleton. "The most careful searching in the last published and amplest treatise on osteology 'will not result in the discovery of the bone called Luz,' says a writer in the Lancet. "It will be necessary to go to the Frankfort edition of the 'Theatrum Anatomicum' of Caspar Bauhinus (1621) for a description: "It is stated by Hebrew writers to be a bone which cannot be destroyed by fire, water or any other element, nor be broken or brushed by any force. Its site is in the spine from the eighteenth vertebra to the femur. "We read that the Emperor Hadrian once asked Rabbi Joshua, the son of Channi, how God would resurrect man in the world to come. He made answer: "From the bone Luz in the spinal column." When Hadrian asked him how he came by this knowledge and how he could prove it, the Rabbi Joshua produced the bone so that the emperor could see it. When placed in water it could not be softened; it was not destroyed by fire, nor could it be ground by any weight; when placed on an anvil and struck with a hammer the anvil was broken in sunder, but the bone remained intact. Hieronymus Magius represents that, according to the Talmudists, the real bone is near the base of the skull, whether it be in the base itself or in the spine. Vesalius writes that this ossicle is described by the Arabs as resembling a chickpea in size and shape, and Cornelius Agrippa describes it as magnitudine ciceris mundata (the size of a shelled pea). Different anatomists have held it variously to be the sacrum, the coccyx, the twelfth dorsal vertebra, one of the Wormian bones in the skull, and one of the sesamoids of the great toe." Cypical Slimcox. Judge Charles H. Carey sat at a recent banquet in Portland, Ore. "My, Americanism is proud, not apologetic. I believe in the American people's integrity. I don't take the view of my people that Lawyer Simcox took of his profession. "Lawyer Simcox, practicing in Granville, where I went to college, said one day to a client: "The man called you a liar, eh? "Yes, sir; he did." "But did he call you a liar in so many words?" "Well, sir, he called me a lawyer." "That is sufficient,' said Lawyer Simcox. 'You are bound to get ample damages.'" Prompt Restitution. "Timid Young Thing—What would you do if a man stole a kiss from you? Experienced Flirt—Make him give it back." To say the principles of nature must needs to be such as philosophy makes it, is to set bounds to omnipotence.—Glanville. HARRY TAYLOR Mgr. PHIL. E. REID RALEIGH W.

JUST DREAMS By Ananias. Dear Henry: I tried to call you up on the phone this morning, but central said your line was out of order, out of service, or something like that. It's always the way when I want to talk to my Henry, and knowing I wouldn't see you until tomorrow night. I'm sending you this special. I think it's too funny! You know how perfectly crazy I am about automobiles? Well, Leonard called me up and said he was coming to take me out for a little spin, so I borrowed May's big vell, fixed myself up real stunning and sat out on the porch and waited. Pretty soon I heard a noise like a steam roller coming up the street—it was my friend in his blood-red machine. After barely missing a lamppost he finally got the machine to stand still long enough for me to get in. The girls I left on the porch seemed envious as I waived adieu. We went, I think, as far as the next house—then something happened. Leonard got out to fix it. He was still fixing it at 11:20. A street car isn't so bad after all, Henry. Do you think it was nice for the girls to laugh? Lovingly, Lucille. Hello, central, give me Douglas 1360; no, 6-0. What's the matter with you today? Ears stuffed with cotton? Douglas 1360, that's right. Hello, Keystone? Let me have Fry on the line. Say, John, this is Bill Clark. I got that little deal through for you. Great! I should say it is great. That gives you the entire first floor of the county building for a buffet and lunch room. Of course it's a little off the "Stroll" but it looks good from where I sit. Oh, that's all right. I'll take a bottle of "Bud" on you to-night. So long. --- Last week the morning papers came out with a long account of how Harry Garnes, the popular re-toother, while dining at Lett's, found an enormous pearl of the smoked variety. Every mall brought him letters from such jewelers as Spaulding, Hyman, Berg, Peacock, etc., asking for his price on the jewel and when and where they could see it. At first Harry took it as a huge joke but they annoyed him so much that he was forced to confess that the pearl he found was a Miss Pearl (?), one of the most popular young ladies in the city. P.

Andy Oyler Dodges Ball, It Hits Bat, St. Paul Players Fall to See It and Little Shortstop Circles the Bases. Baseball is filled with freak plays, ones that sometimes bring about seemingly impossible feats. Of course, there's a lot of fun in them when they go with the home team, but when they're against the home club you bet they're far from funny. Whenever a bunch of ball players gets to talking baseball something that doesn't often happen—for the majority of them like to get away from the national pastime as much as possible when they are not actually in the game—the subject often turns to freak plays of the diamond. One of the freakest on record happened in Minneapolis some seasons ago. The Minneapolis club had a little shortstop named Andy Oyler, who was a corking fielder, but wasn't much on the heavy hitting. He was one of the smallest men in baseball, and, to make it worse, when he stood up to the plate he crouched all up in a knot. It was horrible on the pitchers to have to throw to Oyler. One day Minneapolis was playing St. Paul. There was deadly rivalry between the teams, and the game was for blood all the way through. It had rained the day before the game, and the ground was so sopping wet. The base runners had foundered around like chickens with their feet tled. Minneapolis needed one run when little Oyler came to bat. Andy crouched down in his peculiar way, and the pitcher wound up. Bing! He let a hot one go straight for Oyler's head. Andy ducked down, bending his knee and leaning his bat over his shoulder. The ball hit the bat a crack and every one at the park heard it. Where the ball went no one knew. It hadn't gone up in the air, for the St. Paul catcher was gazing around the sky and wishing for a telescope. The first baseman was looking under the bag to see if the ball got stuck there, the pitcher was shouting unintelligible things at everybody and the third baseman was accusing the umpire of standing on the ball. Every one on the St. Paul team was crazy mad. What was Oyler doing? He was going like a streak of lighting around the bases. Some one in the bleachers yelled, "He's got it in his pocket!" When the second baseman on the St. Paul team heard that he started after Oyler, who had just rounded second on the dead run. Andy had the start, though, and he left the second baseman so far in the rear that people began advising the latter to hire a taxi. Oyler rounded third at top speed and pulled up at the home plate, scoring the winning run. "What are you trying to do?" screamed the catcher. "Gimme that ball!" "I ain't got the ball. There it is." Digestive Properties of Eggs. The latest news of how eggs go in the stomach is: Two freshest soft bolls, one and three-quarter hours; two raws, two and one-quarter hours; hard bolls, three hours; omelette, three hours. The figures speak for themselves, but do not tell the whole truth, for it looks as if soft bolls are more easily digested than raws, whereas, raws are so bland and gentle as not to excite the flow of the gastric juices—not a single squirm of the stomach—New York Press. right in front of the plate. I got a home run on a ball that didn't go two feet." Sure enough, there was the ball sticking right in the deep mud in front of the plate. It had gone off Oyler's bat so quickly that no one had seen it land but Oyler. The umpire, of course, had to allow the homer, for the ball had hit on fair ground. PITCHER LEW MOREN ALL IN Not Attempted to Pitch Any This Season, But Expects to Have Banner Year In 1912. Pitcher Lew Moren of the Cincinnati Reds has not thrown a ball all season, and says he does not intend to. Moren says he is acting entirely upon the advice of "Bonesetter" Reese. He had his arm treated by Reese last winter and the famous surgeon told Moren that he would ruin his arm forever if he attempted to pitch this season. V V Pitcher Lew Moren. After next season, Moren says he will retire from baseball for good. He says that he intends to have one good season before he retires and thinks 1912 will be his banner year. Moren is going to Mexico December 26 and will train until it is time to report to the Reds for the opening of the season. Southpaws In Demand. Fred Lake, scout for the St. Louis Brown, comes to bat with some advice to mothers. He says: "See that animal born to him. If paws are in great demand, these days."

AS TO CHILDREN OVERHEAD Mrs. Gobbleton Convinces Her Husband the Only Desirable Flat Is Next to Roof. "I think, and I have always thought," said Mr. Gobbleton, "that it's a good thing to have living in the flat over you a family with children. This is contrary to the general opinion, I know, and when I propose my theory to Mrs. Gobbleton she says, 'Stuff and nonsense!' But I think there's something in it. "What we want, or what we need most, is a chance to sleep nights. I hold that if there are children overhead we get that rest at night because then the people there keep quiet so as not to disturb their children, to which Mrs. Gobbleton again says, 'Stuff and nonsense!' "She says that I just are a theorizer, that I get an idea about how things ought to be, and then I think that's the way they are. But she says that if we have children overhead we get their noise all day, and the noise of the grown-up people at night just the same. There may be cases in which the people do keep quiet on their children's account, but to rely on anything of this sort would be taking a frightful chance, for, on the other hand, there are people who put their children to bed nights and shut up their rooms and then go ahead just the same and have card parties and sing and dance till 2 o'clock in the morning, and their children never know it, but we know it, and we know it again a little later when their children are up and pounding up and down the hall at 6 o'clock, so that we can't sleep then. "No, she says to me, 'there's nothing in my notion. I'm just a theorizer.' "Well, then,' I say to her, 'you'd say that the only flat to live in would be one under the roof?' "Now,' she says to me, 'now, Algernon, you are showing some signs of sanity. That's the sort of flat we want the next time we move." In Hoo-noo-luu-luu. Honolulu today is a decided mixture of nationalities and a babel of tongues. It has 14,000 Hawaiians, 12,000 Japanese, 6,300 Chinese, 5,400 Portuguese, 4,300 Americans, British and Germans, 800 Porto Ricans, 1,000 Coreans and 1,200 other nationalities. In a short ride on the street cars—electric, if you please, and furnishing very good service—one can easily see representatives of five or six nationalities and hear as many different languages spoken. First come the natives, wargathy in complexion, with noses, lips and ears that might suggest American negroes, but with straight (not kinny) black hair and a copper color that recall the American Indian and proclaim the Polynesian. Their language is very simple. To one who hears it for the first time comes the conviction that the aborigines expressed their sentiments in primitive vowel sounds, to which some consonants have been added. Each vowel is sounded as in Latin, and the words are easily pronounced by one who is patient and wishes to speak distinctly. The pronunciation will be all the better if the speaker will draw out, almost drawl, the vowel sounds, for which reason the language is well suited to the doleful Hawaiian wall. Say e. g. Hoo-non-lulu, and let the word sing itself. In Germany. "No one need apologize for going to a beer garden in Germany," said Louis Welsenberger, who recently returned from a trip abroad. "The beer business there has no moral taint upon it. The entire German family, from the grandchildren to the grandfather, may be there, seated at the same table. Some things there are, of course, quite strange to American eyes. One day while I was in a big beer garden in Barla a handsome young officer in a magnificent new uniform came in and seated himself at a nearby table. "There was brought to him a big radish, several slices of rye bread and a tall mug of beer. Then I saw the handsome young officer draw from the tiny pocket of that magnificent uniform something wrapped in paper. This he unrolled, a sweet smile playing about his blonde mustache as he did so, and at last a piece of sausage seven or eight inches long was revealed. "My astonishment at this sight was carefully concealed. I doubt if any officer of the Tenth United States infantry would dare attempt such a movement on the subsistence department."-Indianapolis News. No Great Novelist? The truth is that "great" can only be applied to the novels of one writer today—and he is no longer writing. Clever novelists there are in something like plenty today. Mr. Galsworthy's cleverness is never for a moment in question, nor Mr. Wells', nor Mr. Arnold Bennett', and there are others of both sexes who come within in the same list. These writers are full of the new ideas about society and politics and marriage, and they handle their themes with distinction and sometimes with power. But it ends at that. It would be quite as reasonable and true to say that there are "great" poets writing in England today as that there are "great" novelists. The great novelist, the great poet and the great actor is not in England today—London Saturday Review. National Tree of China The tung, or wood-oil, tree is worthily named the national tree of China. It is stately in appearance, with smooth green bark and wide-spreading branches, affording a fine shade. It bears a fruit resembling a shell bark hickory nut, but as large as a small orange. Each nut contains three triangular seeds similar to small Brazil nuts. The oil is pressed from these seeds, and the refuse is used as a fertilizer. The oil is used principally for polishing wood-work and dressing leather. Considerable quantities are exported. The wood of the tung tree is used for making musical instruments, fine boxes and the framework of small houses. It is believed that this tree might flourish in warmer parts of the United States.—Scientific American. Questions answered by mail from any part or the United States. Send postoffice order. Mme.

The people dance the old Cornish "Flurry" dance and "The Girl I Left Behind Me," and then sing the "Old Hundredth." After that they have a banquet and small sums of money are distributed. The custom dates from a century ago, when a fund was established for the purpose by a man named Knill. It is known as the Knill ceremony. 25u CHICAGO His Real Meaning. a ' a ee as STM re Here FORE, occa & cers me Re ve = at Tile Se Va eee Bde ae es 6 cn oe in Te tg at By iy ere ae ee as S Awe ep oiuee we eg TES SIS RESON ste ees ENR GF 3 a ei ‘ : ee & nites foe f *P OT ae ne BO Sagat ESE Vitale a I by * Rha arenes By Minnle Adams. to understand and learn its worth 4 — one must view it.

Mr, Williams ts now on his second sonson's triumphant tour with Soigfeld’s “Follles," which are playing at the Colonial ‘Theater, and Mr, Williams is the hit of the play. ‘Phe theaters along the strolt are teeming with good nets. Some are new and some, well, a few minutes older, but if a little disfigured trom Jong usage they are re-enameled and look fairly well. And we must not expect things to be too new or they may be a little too green for our liking, ‘The Pekin. Bailey and Balley are a first class tham. Mr. Bailey in an imitation of eorge Walker was good but the easo sth which Walker pranced on the tage was conspicuous by ite absence fn Mr. Baltey Dut he has the idea and - how to smooth ft out. Mrs. Bailey has a charming manner and does much to improve the act. Frank Kirk is not only a funny tramp but an inventor. His Inven- tions of musical instraments are any- thing but polished and I think Frank meant them to be as unshapely as possible. If so, ho succeeded beyond his fondest hopes, I know. However, he fs an entertainer of the first mag. nitude. ‘The Chicago Comedy Four are mis- named. ‘They are not all comedians, S. R. Richards has the distinction of being the comedian. ‘The others of the quartet are musicians, giving to the Pekin audiences some excellent music on thelr respective _instru- ments—J. B. Kelly, cello; A. W. Dick- ‘erson, mando, lute, and F. Wise, harp, jute. “Theirs ig a fine act and they make a specialty of Sidney Perrin’s Jatest song, “When the Trees Shed Their Leaves In the Fall.” ‘The boys are a bit off color In thelr work, that ise little now, which they explained to the.reporter in her short but pleas- ant interview with them. All the volees are fine and only need a little more familiarity with the footlights and they will be hard to beat. ‘Winsome Fannle Wise is putting it over the plate. Miss Wise is using Arditi's “La Enchantress,” Remick’s “Carita” and Chris. Smith's “Why Do They Cali Mo Snowball?” The two last numbers aro best suited to the soprano at present, the first number being a little heavy as Miss Wise’s volce tacks the flexibility needed for the work, It 1s possible for her to gain the proper development by care- ful study as her volco is dainty and of a beautiful Iyric quality and with her marked musical intelligence she would be soon able to do justice to any waltz movement she might prefer. ‘The farce comedy acted by some of our old Pekin people made my heart beat foyously in the anticipation of perhaps seeing the Pekin once more In the hands of a stock company. We have vaudeville all along the stroll and a small stock company would be “peaches” it given at popular prices. The farce, “Her Other Husband,” is @ roarer and puts us in touch with that great actor, Charles Gilpin, the man of many moods. Miss Beulah Ray White is very good as the tyran- nical wife. Miss Anno Willis is sweet ae the daughter but shows her now- ness in the work by her constant smil- ing when sho should look decidedly cross, Mr. Gilpin should see to it as ho {s more than master of the art of ‘expression, Clifford Smith as the sec- ond husband was all that a hen-pecked hubby should ba His strength was 80 evident, from the size of his chest and bleeps, that {t was @ most Iudl- crous thing to see his cowed manner Defore his wife in the play. Mr, Gil- pin as tho first husband did but little ‘Dut that was good, as always. Not on the stage but in the lobby of the theater was seen that fashion Plate of the stage and stroll, Jerry Mills. 1 wonder fe Mr. Mills on his Way back to the Pekin. I trust so, Ho 1s one of the best men in the busl- Ress and no matter what the char acter ho fills it to 8 "T," Glimore, Kinky and Giimore have an act which Is 0. K. in every re- spect but dress. Can you imagine a child dressed in red satin with black trimmings? If so, then you have a Picture of datnty Ittlo Kinky arrayed. Whether she is a child or no she car tainly looks the part and should be Gressed accordingly. A pretty whito outfit and for a change a delicate pink dress with everything to match would not only improve the act but would make Kinky look “peaches.” Mr. Glimore has one of the most accurate strokes as an eccentric drummer 1 have ever seen. It ho hit at a thread he would ring tho bell each time, ‘The act Js great and an improvement in tho ttle one’s dress is all that is needed. The Grand, This playhouse has on its Dill a Dhoto play which, though silent, car tes with {t many convincing’ tacts As well as an object lesson. It is ealled “The Settlorts Wife.” In order 4 7 edy conversationalists, were that, ev- ery bit of it. Jenner has more than his share of fine facial expression and the two make quite a laughable team. The Arisato troupe of novelty aero. bats and tight wire artists are daring {in the extreme. ‘They are by far the best wire performers (with the excep- tion of Japanese who are of course gifted along these lines) it has been the reporter's pleasure to see, Poul Bowens, “the human freight train,” seoms to have a monopoly on talk.’ He can say more funny things Im tho space ot tho Atteen minutes allotted him Yhan would fill a small book, He keeps them always on the laugh. Teddy Hardcastle & Company in a comedy playlet, "Phe Cat's Paw,” gave to the audience something out of the ordinary. ‘There has been nothing to excel it at the Grand in ages, It is concise, every climax well fitted and each performer will informed. The fomate character of Brancis is happlly given to an actress whose vole though slightly rough (f prestime from the alkall of the western plains, shown on the stage), carries convie- tion in it and makes of her a most pleasing heroine, Sam K, Otto ard his great imita- tions were a scream from start to finish. “He not only looks funny but is fanny.

I say shoe because I don't think Sidney Alls the shoes lie’ wears with feet, surely not, Miss Crosby is the same pleasant litle singer and heat dancer of heretofore, but she must_not_make it quite so obvious that she Is annoyed when the orches- tra and trio are not in time, It looks bad, my dear, and you know better. Saparo, of the trio, Is a fine looking fellow and is not too seltcentered t0 et. He pleases tho public in every way and that 1s saying much, as Sa paro makes a fine appearance. ‘The overture by the Grand orchestra was excellent, ‘The Monogram. The Russells are a clever couple engaged this Week at the above named house. ‘They give some good singing and do some dancing which pleases. Mrs, Russell has such a pleasant smile it seems everything is a pleasure to her. Laura Smith {s fairly good but needs a mate partner to bring out the Dest there is in her, as it takes a molghty strong perforiner to go single. Sho Will make an excellent. member for a team, Billy Kersands and wife, who are appearing on the bill, bring to us Feinlniscenees of days gone by. Mrs. Kersands’ singing is loud enough but, sad to relate, it only fills you with the assurance that her lungs. are in fine condition. It Is deplorable, but true, that many performers remain on the ‘stage until the last curtain is rung down, leaving us nothing of their days when they were famous for what they were doing, not for what they had done, Mr. Kersands, in his re vival of George Primrose’s “essence ‘in fun” dance was fair but tiresome. Those two comedians should at this time in their lives be able to live on the interest of their money and re- tire. The bit of the bill was “Tho Kinky Doo Trio,” three dandy little dancers with plenty of up-todate material for thelr act, which they handled to the best advantage, Miss Smith in an imitation of Adah Overton singing “Gee, Ain't I Wicked?” was a close second to that lady herself, Little spurts of comedy also brighten the act, making It a little gem of muste and dancing. Miss Allee Calloway of the Six Musleal Spillers will be in the city today for a few hours at $531 Vernon avenue. “Tallaboo" at the Pekin. No play has over attracted so much attention as the Negro melodrama written by TN. Harper, the colored Jawyer of Louisville, Ky. Ever since the play was taken off at this theater people have been making application ‘to the management of tho Pekin to put {t on for an Indefinite engagement. So many people did not avail them- selves of the oportunity to sce ft while it was playing some time’ ago that, atter due consideration, the man- ‘agement has decided to put the piece on again.

Then after that if we prove congenfal, me for a benedict.” Gertrudo was a vision of loveliness when she greeted her admirer at the station. “So delighted you camo,” she sald welcoming him with a joyful face. “We needed another for our tennis mate." “I'm too tired to play," commenced James. “Don't be disagreeable but burry; they're waiting for us,” returned Ger- trade. ji After tho gdme, at which the new- comer was badly beaten, Gertrude sug- Sested a swimming contest. “rd rather not," complained James, “Let's sit im that Inviting hammock.” “Your no sport, don't bo a ditcher.” "sald one of the party. “It you insist, all right," answered | James. | So in swimming they went. Every ‘one except James enjoyed the cool ‘Tefreshing waves. But, he never did enjoy anything he didn’t want to do. At dinner Gertrude commented upon ‘the fact that her guest did not ap- pear in a white suit. “I thought I sulted you all right,” he repiled. “No, you seem to dislike all the things I find pleasure {n. For In- stance, would you like to take a tramp through the wood?” “Surely, let's start early in the morning,” agreed James, glad for an opportunity to be alone with Ger- trade. After being abused for threo hours decause he insisted upon trumping his partner's ace, James retired, to be awakened at dawn by a gentle knock at bis door. “Hurry, I'm all ready," called Ger- trude. James jumped helter-skelter into his clothes and found Gertrude walt- Ing for him, looking not quite as pretty as she bad in the favorable gaslight. After walking a couple of miles James protested that ho felt weary and hungry. “There's an apple orchard about a halfmile from here, We'll get some apples,” sald Gertrude, for nothing could deter her from continuing her walk. A Very sober couplo appeared on the porch a few hours later. After a hearty breakfast Gortrude begged James to go fishing. He had to row around the lake for the rest of the morning in the broiling sum and all they caught were two small perch. “Some strenuous life,” he com: mented as the boat neared the land- ing and he was becoming bored by Gertrude’s incessant talking of topes which did not Interest him. , “These stunts are an everday oc- curence. Wouldn’t you lke to live this simple Iffe?" questioned Gertrude. “Not to my taste.” The boys expect you to play tn their baseball game,” Gertrude called atter James as he left her. The baseball over Gertrude ap- peared with her golf bag requesting ‘James to play with her. They chased the ball around the Hoks until it started to pour rain {n torrents, “Its pouring,” ried James. “Oh, wo always play in the rain,” answered Gertrude. Drenched to the skin they started home. “What's the trouble with your face? asked Gertrude. “1 don't know, it feels all taco.” “Its swollen and hes red patches all over it. Maybe its polson Ivy.” After consulting the village doctor, who informed him that he had most Wkely touched some ivy in the woods and had a bad caso of polsoning, James returned home on the next train to remain fn the house for a week suffering Intensely. ‘When James read of Gertrude'’s en- gagement to Harold Lifton, champion ‘of the football players, he heaved a sigh of rellet. “Thanks to that poison Ivy T es- caped in time.

Arnold, 15 Clinton street, Lexington, Mo. To Kansas City, Mo. Mrs. Matilda Mathows went to Kansas City, Mo., Monday morning to attend the funeral of her brother who died in that city. She also went to Kansas City, Kansas, to see her daughter who has been in the hospital for the past four weeks. He Ban Away. Alvin Johnson, one of our well known young men, run away from home Monday night, Sept. 25, after drawing all of his money from the Western Coal Company. It is said Johnson went to Kansas City, Mo., and his uncle, Luther Scott, telephoned if he was caught to send him back. At this writing nothing has been heard of him. Any one knowing his whereabouts will do a great favor by notifying Mr. Luther Scott, Lexington, Mo. Johnson is not considered to be a bad fellow. He is a good, clever and kind hearted fellow and will make friends with any one. But his head must have been out of its place, which caused him to leave home. Johnson is at least 17 or 18 years of age and well known to every one in Lexington. Fell from House. J. H. Arnold had the misfortune to fall four feet from the roof of his home Monday evening, Oct. 2. Arnold had just sold his farm bell, which he was removing from the house, and was in the act of climbing down when in some way he caught his right foot, a wire and fell to the ground. The only injuries he received was a small scratch on the left ear and a slight bruise on his right side. Off to School. Misses Hattie and Hazel Smith left the city Monday morning, Oct. 2, for Sedalia, Mo., where they will attend the George T. Smith College. Miss E. M. Hunter returned to Jefferson City, Mo., Sunday morning to re-enter Lincoln Institute after spending one week at home with her parents. We wish these young ladies abundance of success during their nine months' stay in the colleges. Next week we will announce just who our new pastor of the Zion Chapel, A. M. E. Church is. THE OLD SOLDIER'S SILVER SLIPPER. Many features of interest are being prepared for the purpose of pleasing those who attend the entertainment to be given Tuesday evening, Oct. 12, at Masonic Temple, 3356 State street, by the John Brown Women's Relief Corps.

An old nome-cooked meal will be served and music will be furnished by Garfield Wilson's full orchestra. Admission 15c. Mrs. Katie Berry, president; Mrs. May Smith, secretary; Mrs. Ellen Lawson, chairman. One sometimes hears a deal of nonsense about the danger of creating a prejudice against religion in the mind of a child by making him attend church once a week. The danger would seem to be about one-tenth as great as that of arousing a prejudice against education by sending him to school twice a day. In both cases the remedies lie in the good sense of the parents and their estimate of the value of religion and education carefully instilled into the child's mind. The strength of the church has been in the old-fashioned pew, with father at one end and mother at the other, and a stairway of more or less restless children. From that pew have gone out the upright, devout, consecrated men and women who have loved the church and maintained her worship and done her work in their several generations. For the sake of the church, and especially for the sake of the children, let it be restored. If it be impossible for the children to attend both Sunday school and the church service, this writer would by all means teach them the catechism at home and bring them to church that they may learn to worship God in the congregation of his people.—Southern Churchman. "AND MY WIFE, ROSIE," TOO Bridegroom Who Had Forgotten to Register His New Better Half Quickly Makes Amends. In spick and span ralment, carrying each a new suit case and a timid expression, they entered the Hotel Narraganets and inquired the way uneasily to the desk, says the Providence Journal. Spying a kernel of rice; on the youth's hat brim, the clerk smiled covertly, whirled the register with an encouraging flourish and placed the linked pen in the nerveless hand. "John B.- New Bedford, Mass," wrote the youth, pushed back his hat, upset the kernel of rice and wiped his beaded brow. "But, er—the lady?" Inquired the clerk soothingly. "She's my wife." quoth the youth straightening up, bristling. "She ought to be registered." advised the clerk thoughtfully. "Ain't you put me down?" the lady murmured, looking over the youth's shoulder. "O. sure. I—I forgot. Gimme the pen," said the youth, quickly. Whereupon he smiled and wrote: "And my wife, Rosie." Motoring at Its Best Few motorists know of motoring in all its fullness. They drive along country roads for a hundred miles or so, through towns so closely set that they virtually run through one long village, and they think they have motored. They cross the ocean and enjoy the perfect roads of France and Switzerland, and imagine they have experienced all there is in life in the motor car; but no one has ever been brought to a full realization of what motoring really is, or what the wonderful modern machine of man's creative genius is really capable of doing until they have sat in a racing car side by side with an expert driver and tasted the sport as it is under such conditions. Lord Byron once wrote: "What a delightful thing is a turnpike road, such a means of speeding the earth as scarcce the eagle in the broad air can accomplish." He certainly spoke in prophecy of the motor car, and especially of the racing machine, which defies distance and shrinks space into the most tiny proportions.—The Columbian. Lesson 47 Grief. There are moors in which we court suffering, in the hope that there, at least, we shall find reality, strange peaks and edges of truth. But it turns out to be scene-painting and counterfeit. The only thing grief has taught me is to know how shallow it is—Emerson. London still depends upon its army of cats to handle the rats among the ships that come up the Thames.

Winston, 4015 Cottage Grove avenue, who is serving on the first extra list, in the service of the Chicago Great Western Railroad Company as train porter, returned from the city of Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 27th on train No. 2, and has not been called for since. Should he return on the evening of Sept. 28, he intended to call the railroad men together of the Northern Pacific Railway Company and the Great Northern Railway Company men in the city of St. Paul for the benefit of the readers of this column. All train parters in the service of the Chicago Great Western Railroad Company service run 6,960 miles a month; that is, between Chicago and Minneapolis, Minn. Mr. C. Smith, 2609 4th avenue, south is in the service of the Pullman Company between Minneapolis and Des Moines, Iowa. Mr. Smith owns his own home at Minneapolis. Mr. J. Bates, 418 West 36th street, New York City, was in the city last week and was at the Bachelors' Club parlor to see his friend, Daniel F. Carter. Mr. C. G. Reed, 4754 Armour avenue, is in the service of the Pullman Company, between Chicago and Evansville, Ind., in charge over the Chicago and Eastern Illinois and the Evansville and Terre Haute Railroad lines. Mr. Reed gives information that C. B. Britton, the Chicago barber shop proprietor, is doing a nice business in the city of Evansville with The Defender. In a suit brought against the Pullman Company by William Norris, a porter, for $5,000 damages on account of a railroad accident, he says that he drew $30 a month salary and received $100 a month in tips. He also says that his job conferred upon him great dignity and social position among members of his race, and afforded him much satisfaction because his principal earnings were voluntary offerings on the part of persons who appreciate merit and attention. Mr. L. J. Pugh, 4125 Dearborn street, is in the service of the Pullman Company over the C. E. I. Railroad out of Chicago to Atlanta, Ga. Mr. R. B. Foster, 4809 Dearborn street, a Pullman porter, made his departure Sept. 25 for Nashville, Tenn., to finish up at the Maharry Medical College. Mr. Foster is a fine young man, and is liked by all who know him. Mr. G. S. Jones, 4838 Wabash avenue, is in the service of the Chicago Great Western Railroad Company between Chicago and Minneapolis, Minn. Mr. Jones is wearing three stripes, as the oldest porter in the above company's service. Mr. L. H. Abel, 13 Greenwich avenue, New York City, an employee in the dining car service of the Erie Railroad Company between New York and Chicago, is taking a vacation. Mr. C. B. Montague, 54 Ferry street, Hoboken, N. J., second chef under the father of cooks, Mr. Boston Vanwinkle, dropped in at the Bachelors' Club, 4704 street, last week to greet his two personal friends, Messrs. Georgia Bell and Daniel F. Carter, the general manager, and from there to the Wayside Inn, 4805 State street. Mr. Samuel H. Harris, 27 East 36th place, is now one of the polite ushers at the Illinois Central Railroad station. John W. Hightower is also an usher in the above named station. Mr. Boston Vanwinkle, 410 West 39th street, New York City, was a visitor at the Bachelors' Club and the Wayside Inn, 4805 State street, the railroad men's quarters. Falling of the Brace The advice of the old lawyer to his son was that no matter what his relations with womankind he should never write a love letter and never destroy one. It is probable that this counsel of perfect wisdom fell on deaf ears, for when any particular man is consumed by a fever for any particular woman he at once commences writing love letters. Rev. H. J. Callis, D. D., Pastor. Despite the inclement weather our quarterly meeting was largely attended at all services and the spiritual life of the church was greatly animated. The reports from the various departments showed a substantial increase in growth and interest along all lines. Nearly $1,000 was reported raised from all sources. Twenty-four members were added to the church during the quarter. All of the members of the church seem to be earnestly interested in the grand rally which is to take place the last of this month. The services on Sunday will be as usual. Rev. Callis will preach at 11 a. m.; subject, "Jesus, The Way"; at 8 p. m.; subject, "The Glory of the Son." The choir is preparing a star concert for the 23d. Don't fall to attend the Japanese drill to be given Thursday evening, the 12th, by Miss Mary E. Anderson. Last Sunday was the first quarterly meeting day at Wayman in this conference year. The pastor was seized the night before with an attack similar to the one he had three months before and was unable to be out in the morning. He was forced to keep his bed Monday but was up and improved Tuesday. Bishop Hurd of Africa preached the communion sermon in the afternoon and delivered a very powerful sermon. The evening choir has supplied the rostrum with beautiful choir chairs which improve the appearance of the platform very much. The reception given the pastor last Wednesday week was a fine affair; the whole downstairs and the tables were very nicely decorated. In the addresses made the members expressed a determination to da greater work this year than in the years previous. The pastor, Rev. H. E. Stewart, will start a series of sermons Sunday, Oct. 8. Commencing with the 11th, Mrs. Howard will start a ten days' service at the church. ZION FORUM. Owing the downpour of rain on last Tuesday evening there was no session of the Forum. The Forum, however, will render the following program for the Standard Literary society on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 8, at the Olivet Baptist church: Instrumental solo, Miss Gerbrude Jackson; paper, "Conservation of Natural Resources," Mr. J.

Mrs. Dellah Thomas; paper, "Electricity and Electro-Theoreticals." Dr. James N. Harris; address, "The Awakening of Race Conscientiousness," Hon. R. A. J. Shaw. Monarchs of England Care of Shoes: Evening shoes should be wrapped in tissue paper, and white shoes will turn yellow unless incased in blue paper. On most light shoe leather a spot or stain can be washed off, but where this is impossible or the shoe is too badly solled it is better to dye it a darker color or black. Various shoe dyes can be purchased and with a renewal of color now and then you have practically provided for yourself a new pair of shoes. All Up-to-Date Hotel News and News of Bell Hops. William Troy, who held a position in the Burlington hotel in city of same name, has accepted a position at Savoy hotel in Des Moines, In. Troy was well liked in Burlington and was conspicuous because of his slivery gray hair. He is one of the best waiters from Detroit, Mich. Capt. Thomas, who has been employed as head waiter at the Savoy hotel in Des Moines, is over making good. Well, whatever the captain is concerned in will go through all O. K. Most of the crew of waiters are Chicago boys and send best regards to friends. Because the owners of the Auditorium hotel, theater and office building forgot to pay the taxes the property was placed on sale at public auction last week. George J. Lawton, a professional "bidders in," was the highest bidder, his offer being $4,680. Under the usual custom the owners can recover the property by paying Lawton a bonus of $2,500. He says he is not anxious for the bonus and proposes to make a test case to see if he cannot get possession of the property. Failure of the owners of the building to pay the taxes, he says, means the forfeiture of the lease on the site. Later: After "owning" the Auditorium property for several days Lawton relinquished his claim in return for the legal bonus allowed in such cases. Incidentally, the clerk whose negligence was responsible for the failure of the Auditorium association to pay its taxes is now looking for a job. According to local papers, the bar room of the Glipatrick hotel will be closed during the convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance union in Milwaukee, Oct. 27-Nov. 1, and a sign will be hung on the door reading: "Closed in honor of the W. C. T. U." R. Belfore reports a most successful season at the Veeland hotel, Michigan City, Ind. During the summer season the city, which is beautiful, is crowded.

Hotel keepers holding saloon licenses were barred from the order of Old Fellows by action of the sovereign grand lodge, in session at Indianapolis Sept. 21. Saloon keepers have been barred for some time. Mr. A. P. Perry, one of Evanston's oldest citizens, has been for a number of years the steward of the Golf and Country clubs of Evanston. His employers say, "No one pleases them as Perry does." Manny Parker, the well known second waiter of the Metropole cafe, Detroit, Mich., has returned from his vacation up the great lakes. He visited many points along the way. Mr. Parker is very popular with all Detroit guests as well as with his employers. Walter H. Skinner, a well known hotel man of Chicago residing at 3120 Wabash avenue, is head waiter at the Golf and Country club in Evanston. He enjoys the confidence of the members of the club and is an A1 head waiter. The pompous man walked up to the clerk and said: "Say, I'm looking for a man with one eye named Sam. Can you tell me where I can find him?" "If you'll oblige me by telling me the name of the other eye I may be of some assistance to you," answered the polite greeter. And for a moment there reigned a silence. LINCOLN TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK OF CHICAGO. The above named bank is an organization of the Bowers' Bank association. It has been from the first an excellent venture and an opportunity is now given the public to purchase shares in the concern at rock bottom prices. There are only 300 shares on the market and they are going fast. When this number is sold the stock price will increase. After Oct. 1 a meeting of stockholders will be called. The company has a capital of $200,000 and a $200,000 surplus. Do not neglect this opportunity. It is well worth due consideration. THE WORLD'S FINEST ARTIST Each Family in Lerwick Has its Own Flock Which the Children Feed. There are many small villages in the world that have only one street; but Lerwick, in Shetland, besides having only a single street possesses only one tree, and it is not a very tall one either. There are no land birds there, not even a sparrow; but the sea gulls are plentiful. The inhabitants of Shetland are very proud of their tree and very kind to the gulls, of whom the children make pets. Children who are brought for the first time to see the wonders of one-streeted Lerwick are always shown, as a great curiosity, "the only tree in Shetland." The sea gulls are the sparrows of Lerwick; and as such they have a greater share in the town's life than the sparrows of London. In the morning you will note that a sea gull sits on every chimney pot. Sea gulls swoop and hover over every roof in town. The air is full of their strange, high, plaintive, haunting cries. Every house has its own familiar sea gulls and every street its own band of them. But, according to the Fruit Magazine, they never mix. The children in each house have a pet name for their own particular sea gulls; and, having called them by those names, they feed them every day. Each sea gull knows what is meant for him. No bird attached to one house ever seeks to eat the food scattered from the house next door. He does not dare to do so. So all day long the sea gulls hover and call over the roofs of Lerwick. The people of the town if they come across a little pile of rice laid upon the roadway step over it with care. They know that it has been placed there for some sea gull. And at night the sea gulls leave their appointed chimneypots and fly gracefully away to their resting places on the rocks of the Isle of Noss. A Bequest.

By J. L. Thiell. San Antonio, Tex. Oct. 6—An audience over three thousand people greeted Booker T. Washington last week in Beethoven hall and cheered the speaker to the echo. The Doctor's trip through the state of Texas is to promote the friendly relations of the races as well as to give new inspiration and assistance in the progress of the people. At the request of the Doctor the audience sang two selections and the choir of the Second Baptist church presented Dr. Washington a sofa pillow of unusual beauty. In the afternoon at the Second Baptist church Mr. Washington had spoken to the school children, counseling them not to be discouraged but to profit by the many things the immigration of foreigners teach. Mayor Callaghan was profuse in his greeting to the Doctor and his party when they made their official call on him and in like manner they were greeted by the two leading aldermen, Mauermann and Wickland. The Doctor's discourses were valuable as to information and advice. Dr. J. T. Walton, a local physician, presided over the meeting and paid a glowing tribute to the educator and asked the question of the audience as to "who is it among us of clear mind, unprejudiced heart and right habits who would say Booker T. Washington is not right in consulting his people in the way of industry, enlightenment and morality and soliciting the aid of the white man in his movement to uplift." Dr. Washington noted the great increase of industry among his people with much pleasure. The party were in the cities of Galveston and Houston, where the Doctor made excellent speeches. In all the party spent eight days traveling over the state of Texas. 10 New York and San Francisco. The fall opening of the establishment will be informal, no invitations being issued.

This is self-evident, But there is a sane and safe level between neglecting one’s work and living for that and nothing else. 7 ‘The good worker should also be the good player, and above all she should learn to drop her work when she leaves the office or schoolroom or workshop, and learn to take an interest in something outside her own little base of operations. ‘ People quickly get the habit of avoiding as if she were a pestilence the girl who is constantly quoting the “boss” or bragging of the quantity or quality of the work she does. ‘The amusing things that happen at the office are legitimate subjects for conversation, and will be welcomed when recounted at home or at the boarding house, but the purely busincess details contain as a rule not the ‘least glimmering of interest for the outsider. ‘This kind of girl becomes rather a nuisance to ‘the “boss” himself in time, for she is always ready to take offense at anything which she considers a slight. Many girls undergo real suffering by having cer- tain work they were in the habit of doing given to some one else, when it should have been regarded as 8 relief and a kindness done to them. The girls who can think of nothing but clothes, and who will suddenly break into any conversation with some irrelevant remark as to tucks or gathers or box plaits, and demand that you shall give your opin- ‘on regarding the same, is pretty bad, worse, perhaps, than the girl who thinks too much of her work, but the latter is nevertheless bad enough. a ee ae eee a ee old-fashioned home, while today she presides over a modern flat of six rooms, Her nature is conciliatory, while that of her neighbor in the next flat is domineering. ‘They are comparative strangers, but the spirit of the latter soon dis- covered the meekness of my friend’s wife. “My home is this little flat,” she said to the writer, “is a full quarter-section of eternal Indes, but what can I do?

For making it, a thin piece of card- board should be cut out in the shape of a butterfly and smoothly covered With bright blue silk, on which the markings of the butterfly have been worked in white silk. Then half a dozen pleces of black cloth should be cut out in exactly the N Vv LE LE \ f Meio TWh ELI ifs: RS ieee.

To complete the penwiper the card is sewn to the uppermost piece of cloth and the an. tennae consist of two pins run in be- tween the card and the silk. ‘This penwiper can, of course, be carried out on more elaborate lines, and the markings of a real ‘butterfly may be carefully worked upon the ‘silk, and, perhaps, when intended for sale in a bazar, several different kinds of butterflies might be imitated. USEFUL AROUND THE HOUSE Hamper Is Easy to Make and Well Re pays Time and Trouble Be- stowed ‘Upon It. | One of the things especially needed about a home is a hamper, and for ‘this a simple box may be utilized to the satisfaction of all members of the family, ‘The home-made hamper takes “up less space than one of those pur- ‘chased. Take a box three feet long, two feet wide and about thirty inches ‘1a height. Cover with table oilcloth (blue looks best when the hamper is ‘Intended for the tiled room) and at- tach handles of nickel. The inside of ‘the box is enameled white, and the ‘first division $s used for stockings and flannels, the middle and largest for table and bed linen, towels, etc, and the third for lingerie and other wear- ing apparel. There can be a pocket of the oil- cloth fastened to the Inside of the cover, with a nickel tipped tack for handkerchiefs and neckwear. ‘The up- per part of the pocket is hemmed and then run with an elastic to pre veut it from sagging and bulging. On the outside of the box there can be an- other pocket fastened, which serves as a receptacle for the shoe brush and polisher. The height of the box makes ‘It a convenient emergency nest in the bathroom. | The oileloth covering is more duy- able than a coating of enamel would ‘be. Jn making the hamper the first thing to be considered is the dividing of the box into the three compart. ‘ments, This is an easy matter, how- ever. In case it is intended for some other room than the bathroom, it can be covered with other material more iu harmony with ite proposed location. ALL IN GAYEST OF COLORS Such a Thing as Quiet Hosiery Seems to Be Relegated Altogether to the Past. Hosiery has assumed paramount im- ‘portance Jately in the general scheme of fashionable woman's getup and most varied assortments of color are on sale. it is mostly selected to match the trimming of a dress, but a costume or’suit all of one color will mostly have hose and shoes to match an arrangement particularly adapted for grays, light browns and biscuit shades. One sees white shoes and white hose worn with navy blue costumes when faced with white. Black is very little worn, the contrast of ruby red, violet or enserald green being preferred for black gowns. With evening and any other very smart dresses it is the same, only in their case the shoes are of the same color, whereas only white, Diack, gray or brown are worn out of doors, Some new hose have appeared tn . shaded colors; for instance, deep ame- thyst on the instep shaded to mauve at the knee, blue green shaded to turquoise, or bordeaux red to pink. ‘The new filet hose with patterns worked upon them have met with sue: aaa Wise Use of Perfume. I( should be a mere aroma, not a strong scent. If used in blatant fash. ion it is always lable to suspicion as employed to conceal some bodily de fect. The abuse and not the use of perfume is to be avoldéd. The clothes and the person should just be suf clently impregnated to spread a pleas. ‘ant atiosphere. Satchets of one par ticular scent should . be scattered among the clothing. in wardrobes, and sometimes tiny catehets should be sew- ed in the bodice and sleeves of gowng where possible and feasible.
