After a careful study of the characteristics of some of our young men in regard to their resourcefulness, ambition and general principles, you will no doubt be somewhat surprised at my opinion, the result of my study. But under the prevailing circumstances it is a matter of utter impossibility for me to express it otherwise. I find that the young men have lost no small amount of their archest in taking advantage of their limited opportunities and an emulation along these lines would energize and advance their aspirations to the invincible standpoint. They should not be discouraged by handicap of their color as success and attainment draws no color line. Their only salvation is to aspire for greater accomplishments. Referring to one of the favorite quotations of an old writer, who said, "He who is satisfied with his present attainment will never become famous." Now this applies to the young men who, instead of attending evening school or other various upbuilding, cultivating and intelligent institutions, spend their evenings loitering on corners or in some immoral place whose existence only originates and promotes crime and degradation. So beware, young men, as the success in the future will reward only those who have ascended the stairway of knowledge and morality. On Tuesday afternoon the "Common Woman's Club" of the west side entertained in honor of the "Ideal Woman's Club" of the south side. Interesting papers concerning the life and works of the great Harriet Beecher Stowe were read by Madams Bell, Harper and T. H. Smith. Mrs. F. B. Barnett, the president, gave a fine talk on the "race problem," after which the house served. The house was tastefully decorated with flowers and the west side club extended themselves to make the occasion memorable.

By Oscar Michaux, Government Crop Reporter for Rosabud County. Witten, S. D., Oct. 27—Seeing in your paper the notice regarding the opening of the Rosebud lands in South Dakota I thought I would write you a word in commendation of same. As the opening has been advertised in all the principal dailies of the middle west I was much pleased to see it published in such complete form in your paper, being the only colored paper I have noticed it in; however, I do not say "all," as I do not take all the colored journals. Have noticed that you urge our race to come west and register at all the land openings. That you are doing a worthy thing I am sure, even if few or hardly any participate in such events, it cannot be laid to their not being properly informed. As I am a resident of this (the Rosebud country) have taken notice that our people do not take the chance advantage that these openings afford as do the whites. According to population and geographical location, this country is only about twenty-four hours ride from Chicago and 300 miles from Omaha and Denver. We have to cause and that is the personal bravery that more do not take advantage of an opportunity that only comes once. It has been just seven years ago this month that I purchased my first 160 acres in Gregory county. It cost $7 per acre, and the next 160 acres, 18 months later, which cost $20 per acre. It was raw and undeveloped at that time. Since then it has become an improved country, including railroads, several good towns, rural free delivery, Paill Telephone company operates all the phones; in fact all the improvements you find in countries 100 years old. The land has increased from $2.50 per acre to $10 at that time to from $45 to $100 per acre at the present time, the average being from $60 to $75 per acre. What does this mean? It means that every one that came here five to eight years ago own farms that are worth from five to ten times their valuation in 1904. Now Trip county is developing along these same lines, and where have our people been with all their declarations and appeals for opportunities during this time? Out of 400,000 acres of land in Gregory county 480 acres are owned by colored people, 320 acres belonging to the writer. Of the 833,000 acres in Tripp county 800 acres belong to the colored people; of this amount three-fifths belong to the writer, which makes 1,280 acres out of 1,233,000, or about one acre to every 1,000 of the whites. We'll get on equality real soon at such a showing and there is one colored person to every eight whites. And do the colored people like to eat? Of course I know the whites have all the opportunity while the Negro hasn't the half. One thing I wish to call attention to, however, is that I have always felt that the colored people have been held back largely by some of our social demagogues. I recall last spring and a year before that a preacher, a presiding elder in the Methodist conference was very explicit in his determination to register for these lands, and according to his advice he was coming this month to register with a great following. The opening closes today. I took palms to notify this elder through information so that he must be aware. This was last spring when he was going to do this, but I haven't nor seen anything of his or his following. It's not the individual, but it's the cause that follow such pretensions that is detrimental to our young people. What we need is some men, worthy men, who will brave the pioneering of some of these raw and undeveloped countries of the west. Men who will by their patience, hard work, force of will power, along side of the white people actually succeed in accumulating a share of these properties, and these then can be set up as an example of perseverance for our young men and women to be guided by instead of so much loud mouthed pretensions of some of our assuming great men. I have confidence that when our people are properly guided that they have as much courage and ambition as our white brothers. The extremely hot weather and drought of June and July seriously damaged all crops of the central west, causing millions of acres to be a total failure, and all the plain states in general raled only about half a crop. Out of 400,000 bushels of wheat I expected about 1,500 bushels of flax. However, the price of all products (Continued on page 3.) The Chicago Defender. ALEXANDER-DUNCAN WEDDING.

SENTIMENT AT THE SOUTH Oklahoma Recent Race Riot Not Caused From Fact That Colored Men are Refusing to let White Men Live in Open Adultery With Colored Women Even in Mississippi, Louisiana and Georgia and the Home of Ben Tillman the Young Educated Gentlemen are Sacrificing Their Lives Rather Than Permit the Insult. BLACKS SHOULD DISREGARD THE LAW. That the Situation at the South Should Balance—Too Many Shortcomings of the Illiterate Southern Whites Are Left in God's Hand—It Should Be Placed in the Hands of Some of the Members of the 24th and 25th Infantry. By Ernest J. Torregano. In the south the flexibility of the law is indeed appalling. One does not need to have any legal training to observe that all fundamental rules are thrown to the wind; indeed the constitutional provisions restricting the making of certain laws are disregarded and evaded in such manners as to stand the tests of the court of last resort. It is a well established doctrine that the law cannot be flexible. The slightest deviation from the intent or letter of any statute law constitutes a violation thereof. Amongst the most prominent instances in which flagrant violation of constitutional rights are apparent may be mentioned: The so-called suffrage acts and concubinage acts. As instances of class legislation the separate schools act stands out prominently. The legal propositions involved in the above statutes have been the subject of many discussions among the legal profession and as a matter of course is an interesting subject to them, but the writer loathes to believe that a matter to the profession of such vital importance will not interest the laity since these statutes are directed against the race more so than any other citizens within their jurisdiction. It is with the object of throwing some side lights on the working of these laws that has prompted the writing of this article. Taking first the Suffrage act we find clauses with conditions here which serve to deprive the race almost exclusively of their right of suffrage, in proportion to the other citizens. This statute is beyond any reasonable doubt clearly in violation of the federal constitution provision against class legislation and also against its 14th and 15th amendments, but the subterfuge adopted in its technical construction aids the corrupted courts to disregard the constitution and give such interpretation that comes within in the intent of the oppressive ideas of the powers that be. Among the so-called concubinage acts in force in the south the Louisiana act stands out more prominently than any other as an example of the disregard of the constitutiona provision that no expost facto laws shall be passed by state legislatures. Expost facto laws are such which makes an act illegal although at the time of its commission it was legal so to do. It is indeed interesting to note the subterfuge they adopted in the making of this law. Contending that the constitution gives each state the right to control its own police power (which is true) and disregarding the ex-post facto provision, the legislature passed an act declaring it to be a felony for any white person and a Negro to live together within the state. It included also persons who were legally married in other states. If they came to Louisiana to live they were committing a felony and subject to imprisonment without the alternative of a note. This notwithstanding that the marital relation carries with it a right of the enjoyment thereof in any state. It is their contention that the law does not invalidate the marriage act itself, but it is the living together it prohibits as being against their public moral and policy. But such contentions should not be the court of law as the marriage not both expulsed and impolly carry with it the desertion living together. The common law it self takes cognizance of that right as it provides that the desertion of husband or wife for a period of seven years isae facto dissolves the marriage, the party deserts it is presumed legally dead and the surviving party allowed to marry again without instituting proceeding to annul the former marriage. In establishing separate schools in Louisiana it is interesting to note the tricks and evasions resorted to by the legislators in their unsuccessful attempt to create class legislation by the union of two statutes. First the legislature passed an act providing for equal and separate schools for the races, this statute was enacted, of course, while white age. It might be to mention that, in interpreting this statute the word "equal" was construed to mean that the intent of the act was that it should be applied to the number that actually attended school as between the two.

The Record for Muskogee and Other Oklahoma Towns—Still the South is the Best Place for the Negro—Negro Editor Offers $50 for Defender Editor's Head 'Because He Defender's Head 'Because He State Was a Little Hell—Is the Fair Name Still a Defamer of the Fair Name of Oklahoma. The lynching of Ed. Suddeth in Coweta, Oklah., Oct. 22, was but the placing of another crime to the account of an already overcrowded list of bloody acts committed by the whites. In every murder perpetrated against the race the cause has always been proven to be some misdemeanor of the martyrned one. Suddeth was supposed to have pushed a white woman off the street into the ditch. Of course that was incentive enough for the whites, though no doubt it was an untruth, but it was enough to arouse a mob for ever are the people of Oklahoma eager to shed blood, whether it be innocent or guilty, so long as it is the blood of our race. Suddeth was tied to a water tank and then cut down as by that time the first for his blood was not to be applied with the mere breaking of his neck. No, he must see his life foose out of his body, and a very feeble effort was made on the part of the authorities to protect (?) the man, the mob seized him and riddled his body with bullets. And now in Coweta, Oklah., the people are arming themselves for engeance. The whites are badly frightened and are protecting their own as best they can. A step in the right direction is being taken by the race as "self preservation is the first law of nature." When the Sloux Indians were surrounding Custer's force at Little Big Horn, the general cried, we can't die but once, boys, and we'll our lives dear." So no doubt just thought came to Edward Suddeth, for the city attorney, J. D. Beaver and fighter shot two others. No guilt is his, for he was protecting his life and like Custer, the "sold it dear." Let us if called upon do as other races, rush to the assistance of our own and never give up until the battle of right against might is won. Are we right or are we "defamers" of the fair name of the state of Oklahoma. Men of your state, the white man will continue to hold you down so long as you permit him to live with your women in open adultery and you keep your mouth closed he will continue to Jim Crow you as long as you let him ruin your daughter and you keep your mouth closed. Now is the time to strike, let him marry our women like he does the Indian women of your state. Be man, even if you must die to maintain it, die! CHICAGO TRIBUNE GALL COLLEGE GRADUATE NEGRESS AND BLACK MAMMY. Mrs. Porterfield of Englewood So Dubbed. The reporters, printers and editor of the Daily Tribune seems to find much pleasure in placing before the public, articles headed in brazen type, the words, negro mammy, negress or southern darky; such phrases completely reverse the feeling which, were it not for the common appalations, hurled at the people and citizens of the city, would be most sympathetic. It is surely about time that the press should see to it that their hirelings gave every tota of respect to those who assist in it being possible for them to retain their positions. There is nothing smart in the usage of such language as an "idle brain, shows only the devil's workshop," and it is an evident fact, a brain must indeed be idle to do the things some men are guilty of. As for instance the cruel treatment accorded a young girl in an industrial home for girls, whose mother was dying, had asked to see her child, the informer of the imported to the special officer of the industrial Home, who purposely or otherwise neglected to send the girl to her mother in the meanwhile died and was buried and her girl never knew. When such cases are on record it would seem that a better use could be made of a newspaper's columns than to exploit witticisms, for after all there is nothing wity in an act or speech made vindictively and if the Tribune finds anything funny in the words negro mammy, negress, or darky, I beg to remind the staff of the paper, a "fool laughs at his own folly." INNOVATION IN DANCING SCHOOLS. Pleasant Evenings Will Be Made of Saturday and Sunday. Saturday, Oct. 4, the Colonial Dancing School will open their school of dancing and the occasion will be made an evening of perfect enjoyment. The innovation in this school is a Saturday and Sunday evening school, like those of the Germans and other foreign people. Everything will be in trip, and the conduct of management will be pleasing to all. There is nothing like it in the city, and after you have seen this brilliant evening you will wonder why such a school was not opened years ago. You're entering the date as Oct. 4, we will leave it to you for further investigation. Flowers of the Sea. The sea has flowers as the land has but the most brilliant of the sea flowers bloom not upon plants, but upon animals. "I WANT A SOUTHERN NIGGER" "No Northern Colored Gentleman Need Apply," is the Text of a Want Ad in the Daily Evening News of the 19th Inst—South, North and West Ladies Spoke as One Against the Ad, Mr. Fayer, Managing Editor of Daily News, Assured Editor Abbott That Such Ads or Articles in the News Would Not Be Tolerated—Clerk Says Southern White Man Gave Him the Ad—Dld Not Give Name or Him the Ad—Dld Not Give Name or If after reading the above "want ad" which was printed in the Daily News of Oct. 18 the indignation of the people is not accepted to the point of action then is the cry of Race pride" all bosh! It is the cry of our weow our followmen to see to it that this viper who has dared to lift his head out of the dirt of the ground and place himself on equality with a human being and insert such a damnable insertion in the public press be made to go back to his hole in the earth. "Tis true he may inhibit a human form but rest assured the principles of a gentleman are lacking. It has been learned that the friend who inserted the above is a southern brute who came north simply to further indulge his low vicious habits and south he was the associate and paramour of one of the most degraded "black wenches" (as those of his type call them) in the south. We are also in receipt of the news that his motive for putting in the ad was for the purpose of getting an illiterate southern man to aid him in notoriously soliciting our women for his pleasure. His cowardice shows itself in the fact that he was afraid to sign his name in the paper, but the Defender has it and if satisfaction is not forfortheason the name shall be printed in our next issue. The News is supported by the best people of the city, one-third of which are members of our race, and we do not ask but by reason of our support we can demand an apology from the press for allowing an ad to pass as eligible to their paper; our press should be an institution for our goodness as he who has offended the finer feelings of Chicago citizens, and he has just reached our shores from the south, where he has been wallowing in the lowest depths of infancy with an outcast of a proud race. We as a people shall refuse to support a paper that can be so disregardless of the feelings of its patrons. No honor is attached to the fact that a member of the white race composed such an ad; rather should a blush of shame come over them to know that such a reprobate is identified as one of them. A representative of the Defender had an interview with the editor of the News and received not only a verbal apology from the staff of the paper but also a written one, and the assurance of the non-recurrence of the disgraceful ad. A SERIES OF RESOLUTIONS. A series of resolutions were adopted expressing deep regret at the death of the late Justice John M. Harlan, one of the judges of the Supreme Court of the United States. Attorney John G. Jones delivered a most forcible and eloquent address, paying a high tribute to the life and character of the late Justice John M. Harlan and he said that the late Justice John M. Harlan was the greatest judge that ever sat on the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States since the days of John Marsh. W. W. Johnson, president; John G. Auter, vice president; John G. Jones, chairman of the committee on political action; Henry M. Porter, secretary of the D. A. Straker Bar association. MISS C. JOHNSON GRADUATES GOES SOUTH TO TEACH. During the past summer Miss C. Johnson of Vicksburg, Miss., one of the lovable young women of the state who for years, with her brothers, managed, owned and operated one of the largest farms and cotton plantations in that section, decided to take a full course at Moler college in the fine art and then return south to help her people. She graduated last week at the head of her class, where we went to visit women, Miss Johnson being the only one of her race. She left the city on Thursday. We will expect her return this coming summer at the time of the business league as she thinks of investing in a few flat buildings in this city. MR. A. H. SHAW.TAKES BUSINESS TRIP. Mr. A. H. Shaw, one of Chicago's prominent citizens and business men, has returned from a month's western trip through Colorado, Iowa and Kansas, where he traveled in the interest of his business. Mr. Shaw called on several large dealers concerning his wholesale department. He brings us news of the very prosperous condition of the westerners. While in Denver, Colo., Mr. Shaw was a guest of the Hotel Abysinla. THE KING'S DAUGHTERS & SOINS. Met In the Greatest Convention Ever Held in the County in Years, 150 White Ladies Sit at Board with Their Colored Sisters at Bethel A. M. E. Church—Great Good the Uitmate Outcome—Miss Blance Shaw the Lior of the Hour—Mrs. McKinley Deserves Much Praise. The annual convention of the Cook county-branch of "King's Daughters and Sons held their meeting at Bethel Church, Thursday, October 26, at 10:30 a. m. A large audience was present to listen to the many interesting as well as intellectual utterances of the members of the order. The committees in all departments co-operated to make the convention a grand success and their efforts were rewarded. Miss Blanche Shaw gave a most brilliant "address of welcome," her address being not as something prepared for the occasion, but given with an exuberance of good will and cheer which made her number one of the delightful ones on the program. Dr. William Cook conducted the devotional services in his own masterly style. A very palatable repast was served the conventionists after which the program was resumed to the pleasure of all. Mrs. Bennett's address, what it means to be a King's Daughter, was filled with many instructive phrases and they were delivered with an earnestness that made each word a messenger for good. The circle, known as "The Workers for the King," is the oldest of the auxiliaries in the order of King's Daughters, and follow other auxiliaries known as the Sunshine Circle No. 1 and 2, Willing Workers, Heart'seast Aggressive Circle, Silent Workers, and Christian Progressive Circle No. 1. Mrs. Ada McKinley is deserving the greatest credit for the splendid way she conducted the meeting as chairman of the executive board and through her energy, persistence and intelligence it was made possible for the local clubs to have the honor of entertaining this distinguished body of women. Mrs. Sadie Woodward, chairman of the refreshment committee; Mrs. Codozoe, chairman of decorative committee. The artistic ability displayed in the respective work of Mrs. Woodward and Mrs. Codozoe merits special praise, the tables under Mrs. Woodward's supervision were most temptingly arranged, not an item being forgotten. The decorations of the vast dining hall were carried out in a most beautiful blending of the colors white and purple. Mrs. Codozoe could have been no more dainty in her decorations; all was arranged most harmoniously. The convention was in every way a success and the King's daughters' prayer. The Defender was the only paper to have a representative on the scene. The following favor, "The King's Daughters' Prayer," printed in purple on white book finished card, was placed at each plate. The prayer: The King's Daughters' Prayer. Keep us, O God, from petriness, let us be large in thought, in word, in deed. Grant that we may realize it is the little things that create differences; that in the big things of life we are one. And may we strive to touch and know the great common woman's heart of us all, and O Lord God, let us not forget to be kind. COL. JAMES WARREN DEAD. Col. James Warren, 3306 Indiana avenue, who for years was a respected citizen and large property owner of this city, died at his new mansion after an illness of about two months. The Colonel gets his title from the military rank of the Odd Fellows, of which he has been a member for over thirty years. He was one of the progressive men of the order in Illinois and gave his time and money towards making the Chicago branch the great success it is. He leaves a wife, daughter and brother to mourn his loss. FREDERICK DOUGLASS CENTER. 3032 Wabash Avenue. Sunday afternoon, Oct. 29, at 4 p.m., there will be given a description of some of our familiar hymns, a piano solo by Mrs. D. Watson and an address by Rev. Bradden of Berehan Baptist church. Narrow Escape. A domestic servant at Market Drayton had a narrow escape during a recent thunderstorm. The girl had retired to bed leaving the window open and an alarm clock on a chair near the bedside. She was awakened by the smell of burning clothing, and found that the lightning had pierced a hole through the clock and ignited the chair-seating. The clothes of the bed in which she was sleeping were also smouldering. Long Distance Camera. The best successful thing which has been recently introduced in the way of a long distance camera is one which makes use of reflectors inside the camera to get the enlarged object.

Defender Readers In All Parts of the Country Are Urged to Send Mr. Donnelly a Letter of Thanks. By A. J. Hat, Special Defender Correspondent at Washington, D. C. Washington, D. C., Oct. 27—Personal prejudice is clashing with the laws of unionism in the city of Washington, D. C., and the outcome of the affair will in many ways decide the future relations of union workmen of the two races. A feeling of disquietude has been noticed for some time regarding the employment of our men as laborers and the brewing of trouble came to a boll when one of the race was employed as bricklayer on the Government Printing Office building and the whites refused to work with him. A committee of union men sought out the head printer, Samuel B. Donnelly of the office, demanding the non-employment of the man engaged as bricklayer. On Mr. Donnelly's refusal to discharge the workman, an indignation meeting was held and Mr Donnelly condemned as an "avow enemy to unionism" and "recreant every trust."

The Hotel Pullman recently opened at 36th place and State street, has more in paintings on its walls than some of our so-called hotels in any section of the country. During the week Mr. Jones, its proprietor installed about ten beautiful paintings at a cost of $2,500 and he says he is not through yet, his bedrooms are so fine a copy of that of the Passer House; a special guard will be placed on these pictures to keep any one from taking them off the walls. Naturally Fittered Water. An English naturalist, who has explored the mountain ranges of the Malay peninsula, reports that its several species of bamboo that live terrestrials the parts of the trees be stored, the pieces are stored with large quantities of naturally filtered water. He also discovered two species of ferns, growing on trees whose thick, fleshy茎 are filled with galleries tunneled by ants, the ferns that forming living nests for the ants. OLITICS IS THE SCIENCE OF GOVERNMENT then One Who Is Acquainted with the Science of Government is a Politician. "Man was first in a stage of existence in which his animal nature predominated, and the almost purely physical ruled him; then he slowly grew from one state to another until now, when the average man has attained to a condition in which it might be said he is coming under the rule of the brain; hence this age may be regarded as the brain age; brains push the great enterprises of the day. Man is putting his hand on all physical forces, and slowly but surely attaining such power over the domain of nature as gives evidence that ultimately he may exclaim, in the language of Alexander Selkirk, "I am monarch of all I survey." Man's inability to establish a perfect government, however, is attributable to his own weaknesses. The house, where the master ruleth, is strong in united subjection, and the only commandment with promise being honored is a blessing to that house; but if he yieldeth up the reins, it is weak in discordant anarchy; and the bonds of love and union melt away. The realm that is ruled with vigor lacketh neither peace nor glory. " While sitting silently reviewing the political situation of my people, many, many were the thoughts that generated through my mind, forcing me to ask the question, Where are we? Where are the men of the race who advocate race ideals, race unity, and race loyalty? Where are they? If they are on earth, we would like to know where they stand. In reality, the young men are failing to see that unity and loyalty that's so much talked of by our representative men and women. What's the matter? This question is timely. The young men and women want to see our leaders come together and council about the questions that concern us most, by giving them the benefit of their experiences while they may. A race council in America could do no harm. Opinions of great men as to unity will do no good if the hearts of the givers are foreign to that unity. Again may we ask for the unity expressed that Dr. Washington and Dr. Bois take the first step, then let hers follow suit, and the rank and take Chicago a people are divided is there are fac- we have too much ever our forces. Another thing: reasoning do our do determine what is the wrong potake on national until the last minu- to action?

Will the s and the self- individualities of p them forever y sacrifice that sake of their desirous of see-ose up the gap, ner it be politi- logical, or what their isms for I bury their natred of one amer, their envy, their contentions, d their ambitions, for the race's sake. In the language Henry Clay, would rather be rij. than President," should be the motto of he whoads. Let the spirit of this quotation wumeate the very vitals of our being, "that no question is settled until it is...titted right." That our leaders have been dodging the main issues can't be denied. That the race is suffering on account of it we must admit, and all because our leaders have not honestly done the things that they should have done to put a stop to it. Blind ambitions have organized various institutions to better the conditions of the race, false leadership has covered a great deal of ground to lead on into the realm of fame, and the race still suffers. Here are some of the questions that have not been settled in this land of the free and the home of the brave, and let us stop quibbling over anything else until these have been righted first: 1. Protection of his life. 2. A chance to pursue happiness, as any other American citizen. 3. Fair play and no hypocrisy as to the proper settling of these. 7. National race discriminations. Notwithstanding what men may say to the contrary, these questions are not settled, and there can be no pence for the race until they are. These grievances in this country mean as much to us as the grievances of the Irish against the English, or the Jewish race against the Russians. If he who have been attempting to palliate the conditions and soft soap the youth of his race into standing for such rot; they are very much mistaken about the true feelings and sentiments of his inward expressions. They want relief from this yoke. We are asking for "justice because we are men." Leaders, get together. We do not intend for our leaders in the future to "sell our birthrights for a mess of pottage." We do not intend to sit quietly and see the constitution which makes us men, destroyed. One fine morning in June I was sitting in Council Park, first and the lake, when the reflections of the sun's rays playing, upon the waters of Lake Michigan presented to my mind this And I now present it to the THE CHURCH OF THE LORD'S PRAYER race leaders for their careful consideration, out of which may come the beautiful race organization we so much desire. I discovered a circle within a radius of about five miles in circumference. Presenting flashes like silver at high noon, acting as so much protection from Neptune's powerful display of arms against a mighty foe, it looked like a mighty host more active than a million bees could be around their hives, dancing, skipping, jumping like so many ghosts. Then I saw a small boat crossing through its center, leaving a straight line behind it, as if a silver squadron had divided her forces into two grand divisions, culminating in two mighty armies. This to my mind was a most beautiful sight to behold; and yet I realized that it was nothing more than "laughing waters" dancing before the sunlight. This scene may be truly described living water. Here I learned the beauty of unity, the beauty of co-operation, the splendid working power of a well-spent energy, the powerful power of concentration, the orderly march in obedience. Upon studying the situation and the vision more closely, it looked to me as if there was a wonderful joy of busy creatures, singing, joyful with a very marked degree of happiness, telling to each their own victorious story, as if it pleased them much to do so, never tiring under the pressure for mighty war is the force that gave them their command. So brilliant was this display, until it looked like a city lighted all over with electricity. My friends, what wonderful things can be learned from nature. And then I noticed the placid waters sending forth her mighty waves, noiselessly, but incessantly, in their order, without a break in their columns, supported by her calm and steady force of deep water, as silent as death but ready to be put into action, filling her duty by acting as rear guard, giving all within this circle a splendid protection. And then I thought of how this day, so different from other days that I could mention, when she was clothed in malice, hatred and all her evil forebodings, defying men and devils, and yea, angels; and would not by any be comforted, but led on her host, punishing with death and destruction. Is not this the picture of humanity's struggles against humanity? What may we not learn from nature, leaders, if you but "watch as well as pray." An Infant Cuvler Miss Griggs easily induced the wealthy Mrs. May to let her Son Fredle join the vacation class in natural history that she was organizing for children. "I'm sure he'll love it!" said Mrs. May, with surprising enthusiasm. "And you will find that he knows a lot about natural history already." "Indeed! That is very pleasant," murmured Miss Griggs, vaguely, for she was not prepared for scientific attainments in a spolled boy of five. "Yes," said Mrs. May, complacently, "ever since Fredle was a baby the chef has made all his blanc-mange in the shape of rabbits and squirrels, and only lately he has begun to make him marshmallow frogs and chickens and turtles, and Fredle simply-worships them—you can't get him to touch anything in a plain mold! "I am sure," concluded Mrs. May, "that you will find Fredle very advanced for his age."—Youth's Companion. Remarkable Fountain The city of Vienna possesses what is perhaps the most remarkable electric, or electrically lighted, fountain in existence. It is situated in the Schwartzenbergplatz. Underneath the fountain, in a huge cemented chamber, are placed 27 reflecting lamps, capable of producing several different luminous and colored effects. The light is transmitted through the waters of the fountain. The light power of the plant is estimated as equal to 90,000,000 candles. The Deepest Hole The deepest hole in the world up to date is the boring begun ten years ago at Czuchow, Silesia, with the object of attaining a depth of 2,550 metres, and which has now reached a depth of 2,240 metres (7,349 feet). The bore is 44 centimetres (17 inches) in diameter at the top and diminishes progressively to nine centimetres. By Lulu Bell Winborn. Detroit, Mich., Oct. 27—Miss Mary D. Evans, the girl evangelist of Indiana, a recent graduate of Payne Seminary, Wilberforce, O., is conducting a two weeks' meeting at Bethel church. Richard B.

Miss Madame Cole of Los Angeles, Cal., formerly of Detroit, was married Tuesday evening, Oct. 24, to Mr. Herbert Foster. WILL WONDERS NEVER CEASE! A New Ten Commandments. We have all heard of single tax and equal rights, that is, as far as politics are concerned, but now comes the equal rights of married life. The Rev. W. B. Mullard, pastor of the Morgan Park Congregational Church, is the author of a new list of commandments, and for straight goods a yard wide these laws are the straightest. Can you imagine a man living up to anything other than what his conscience dictates? Although it may be that this is the year for revolutions and perhaps women's suffrage has—"oh, peaches," it can't be true, not yet, anyhow. One of the reasons for the compiling of Rev. Millard's twentieth century laws was, he said, "The greatly enlarged sphere of woman's activity." No matter what the reason, if the commandments are ever obeyed by us men as the reverend wishes, something will surely be doing, and for the benefit of the curious we print the laws below: 1. Thou shalt have no, woman except thy wife. 2. Thou shalt not neglect thy home for lodge, club, fraternity, saloon or any male meeting place of any kind. 3. Thou shalt not be a gallant in society, a diplomat in business and an autocrat at home. 4. Thou shalt not compel thy wife to ask for every needed penny, neither shalt thou dole out the same like sour-faced charity. 5. Thou shalt not allow thy wife to become a household drudge, enslaved by cook stove, broom and babies. 6. Thou shalt not smoke 10-cent cigars and wear silk socks while thy wife wears last year's hat and thy sons wear hand-me-down pants. 7. Thou shalt not quaff the flowing bowl, sit in at poker, nor play the races, on pain of thy son's damnation. 8. Thou shalt not neglect needful discipline, lest thy sons and thy daughters stray into crooked paths; neither shalt thou be a harsh and hard-handed tyrant, lest thy children despise thee and thy teachings. 9. Thou shalt not neglect the education of thy children in order that they, with immature strength and unprepared minds, may help thee bear the burden of support. 10. Thou shalt not farm out the religious training of thy children to any minister, Sunday school teacher, religious zealot of any kind, or even to their mother. Thou thyself shalt instruct them in righteousness and shalt lead them in the path which growth brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. NEW USE FOR THE SCHOOLS Plan is Put Forward to Utilize Some of the Sixty Per Cent. Waste Time. The American school plant is valued at more than $1,000,000,000, and as used for school purposes alone utilizes but thirty-nine per cent. of the time which could be given to the needs of the community. This, according to the National Magazine, represents a total loss of school plants to the country of more than $30,000,000 every year. An active movement is now taking place to turn school property during the summer months into children's playgrounds and places of amusement and to make them the center of recreation, of political and social life, the same as in country places, where they serve many purposes, oftentimes even for church services. Evening schools, free lectures, indoor sports, folk dances, civic and educational meetings and gymnastic exercises are among the things mentioned for which school plants should be utilized. It is proposed by some to have the schoolhouses opened every day of the week. Sundays included, so that the community may get the greatest possible benefit from them. If this movement grows pupils will no longer find after vacation a musty smelling deserted building, but rather one which has been in use every day in the year by those who love to give the public every possible advantage of the buildings provided for public purposes. Pearl Divers In Australia The Queensland (Australia) diver gets into his dress at daybreak, steps onto the ladder over the side, and fastens the life line around him; the tender screws on the race glass, the pumps are started and down goes the diver to look for shell. If he is on ground where shell is plentiful he filts his bag, then allows his dress to fill with air, which brings him to the surface, when he is hauled to the boat by the life line. He empties his bag onto the deck and goes down for another sackful. Some of the divers occasionally work in 25 fathoms. The greatest danger with which the diver has to contend is paralysis, and knowing the risk he runs he sometimes demands $1,000 in advance, and this amount is sometimes lost to the pearler through the zeal and daring of the diver. An Eulogy. A newspaper, in speaking of a deceased citizen, said: "We knew him as old Ten Per Cent.—the more he had the less he lent—the more he got the less he lent—he's dead—we don't know where he went; but if his soul to heaven is sent—he'll own the harp and charge 'em-lill Watch the Trifles Grasp the trifling affairs of ordinary daily life if you want to do good—don't wait for any special opportunity. WAGES ARE LOW AND HOURS ARE VERY LONG. Great Uniformity in Manner of Living Among the Poorer Classes—Expenses Are Not Heavy—Rent Is Bagatelle. In Japan a remarkable feature of the industrial and social life is the great uniformity in the manner of living among different classes. They all live in very similar dwellings, says a writer in the Westminster Review. The poorer people have four wooden walls, and for furniture a few mats and blankets and a coal pot. In Manchuria Japanese settlers are beginning to build stone houses with steam heating, but they are bare inside. Nor is this feature confined to the working classes. It is found throughout all strata of the population. The food, save in the very highest classes, is in the main very uniform, rice and green tea, with sake as a stimulant. Among those who have not yet adopted European fashions even the dress is in substance the same throughout the middle and the lower classes. The question of the balance between wages and the cost of living is the one that in the long run makes revolutions; it has not come into the open yet in Japan. Wages vary exceedingly and no real standard can be given, but they are as a rule very small, though recent years have witnessed a steady rise. They are given sometimes by time, sometimes by piece, mostly by weird combinations of all possible methods. But the weekly budget of the Japanese workingman is very small. His rent is a more bagatelle, the same may be said of his food. His only extras are a hot bath regularly every other day, twice a month or so a family trip to the theater, a few pence for toys for his children and a few more to propitate the delights or bribe the priests. Counting the family at two adults and three juveniles, and including every necessary and likely outlay, the weekly bill will come to about 11 shillings 6 pence a week. Hours of labor are, to western notions, outrageous, on an average 11 a day, but frequently 12, 13 or even 14. Attempts have been made repeatedly to start trade unions, but never successfully. Where they have struggled into wretched existence they are of no account whatever, because they do not as yet answer to a need of the people. It is significant that many of these attempts were brought to a ruinous end by the dishonesty and corruption of their promoters. Insurance against old age and infirmity is unnecessary in Japan so long as the present firmly anchored tradition endures which ascribes it as a duty upon each person to contribute to the maintenance of an aged, incapable or infirm member of his family. Kitten's Long Walk A Maltese kitten owned by Edward Giffel, chief clerk in the office of the Ohio Oil company, in Carlyle, Ill., traveled more than one hundred miles in eight days in "coming on home," says the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Before the oil boom in this city Mr. and Mrs. Giffel made their home nine miles north of Bridgeport, more than one hundred miles east of Carlyle. A few weeks ago they moved to this city. Giffel brought the kitten with him, but it seemed dissatisfied, and finally disappeared mysteriously. One day Giffel received a letter from the kitten's old home announcing its safe arrival there. Whether it made the trip on foot or "bummed" its way in a railroad train is not known, but the fact has been established beyond a reasonable doubt that the "cat went back" in eight days. The Jap and the Russ Admiral Togae, at a luncheon in New York, told a story that recalled the Russo-Japanese war. "In your city of Washington," he said, "in those troubled days when it was pretty certain Russia and Japan would have to fight, a Russian and a Japanese met at a dance. "Folltely enough the two men discussed the coming war, and then, as they were about to part, the Russian said: "I won't bid you goodby, but au revoir. I'll soon be in Tokyo, you know, drinking your health in champagne." "Oh," said the Japanese, shaking his head and smiling. "I'm afraid my country isn't rich enough to give her prisoners of war champagne." Why Elsh Have Scales "The late Professor Corson of Cornell," said a Cornell instructor, "had little sympathy with the freakish philologists of the modern school. "I once quoted to professor Corson an extremely interesting and odd analogy that had just been suggested for a Celtic word. He smiled, and said that the analogy was about as probable as that which linked fish scales to shingles. "A little girl, he explained, once asked her mother: "Are scales fastened on a fish like shingles on a roof? "Yes, dear," the mother answered. "They're put on that way, of course," said the little girl, "to keep the fish from leaking." Misleading. A man once ran for office, and after a very close election the returns showed that he had been elected by a few votes. A friend with whom he had been discussing the matter asked: "What makes you think that all the ballots weren't counted?" "You see," replied the successful candidate, "I'm judging from the number of fellows who've come around asking for a job on the ground that they voted for me." She Capitulated. "Would you like to fly with me?" asked the aviator, addressing Miss Padedout. "Oh, sir," she cried, grasping him around the neck, "this is awfully sudden, but if you insist," 90 Rooms 20 Baths THE HOTEL PULLMAN Steam Heated Throughout Price: 50c. 75c. $1.00 By the Week, $2.50 and Up Baths Free to Daily and Weekly Roomers.

Mince pie time is nearing. Aren't you glad? If you see it in "Dreams, Just Dreams," it isn't so. To change the subject, how about paying your Y. M. C. A. dues? There are a lot of people looking for trouble that don't want it after they have found it. In St. Louis school children are served with a meal for 2½ cents. It's too bad St. Louis is so far away. If there is anything you don't know about Taft's administration, ask him. He will be with us in a few days. If there is anything more left to investigate in the Lorimer case, will they please hurry up and give us a rest. To hang a boy fourteen years of age for any crime is a disgrace to any state. Oklahoma papers please copy. Most of us want to keep from fighting. Not so with Jack Johnson. If he can't pick a fight in one country he goes to another. There might not be so much trouble in getting justice from some of our juries if they let facts rather than prejudice sway them. Fancy going into the drug store these chilly days and asking for an ice cream soda. Doesn't it send shivers up your back? It seems so surprising to some of our officials that vice is so prevalent. Some one should have taken McWeeny aside and told him about it before this. The through route on State and Madison streets is an improvement long needed. The west siders can now come into the city and do their shopping on a five cent fare—assume State and Third-first to be the center of the shopping district. J. Hockley Smiley, the wide awake "Defender" correspondent, who has been under the weather the past two or three weeks, is now able to be at his desk again. Mr. Smiley is one of the bravest and most original writers of the day, his work has a Curtis of the Record Herald flavor. His many friends will be glad to note his miraculous recovery and will read 10 pleasure in our next week's issuables. Interview with President Some of our worthy brethren seem to have taken exception to parts of Madam Hackley's heart to talk at Orchestra hall last week. There are always two ways of looking at a thing and the right way is to give every one the benefit of the doubt. We as a people need plain unvarnished things said to us, and especially when we must say no. Our truth may hurt. We only care to told of their shortcomings, but mistakes are only stepping stones to success. Would there were more Madam Hackleys. The officials of the Toronto, Canada, City railroad are trying the experiment of having colored conductors and motormen. Already something like fifty or sixty men have been put to work and the public seems to be taking kindly to the innovation. There is nothing in the colored man's makeup that would unit him for any position that any other man might hold. Therefore, why should he not have an equal chance. We appreciate the fact that all this is happening in Canada, free Canada. The same conditions should obtain in our so-called free country and would it not for the ever present prejudice. The colored man here is told to work out his salvation and when he attempts to do this the door of industry is closed in his face. Truly these are great people. BOSTON'S BISMARCK HERE. No great achievement has ever been attained, no enduring success has ever been made, except through share and conscientious work. To receive such triumph from men of attire in your home city, as those reed in last week's issue of the Boston Guardian, is the reward med by Mr. Lyle W. Benjamin,ston's former financier. The Guardian says 'in part: "Mr. Benjamin's qualifications for business, his manness, shrewdness, quick to grasp 1 quick to act, puts him conspicuously to the front. He has been aptly met the 'Prince of Finance' and clientele, including as it does tied States officials of power influence, newspapers, individuals, corporations and innumerable national, state and city officials gives him an influence that is edifying. Mr. Benjamin is a great believer in the possibilities of his own race, and being amply supplied with the goods of this world, does much in the way of making the burden of others lighter. His beautiful home in Boston is the mecca of the brains and talent of the east. He is the guest of Dr. and Mrs. George Cleveland Hall, which assures him a most enjoyable stay in our city. IF THAT'S SOCIETY! There is no sin in being poor but all will be agreed it is very inconvenient. Still if virtue is our companion in the walk with adversity we can feel ourselves rich indeed. Then it is ever worth while to be moral that our friends may deem it an honor to visit us even though we may be poor, for after all "rags are royal rentament when worn for virtue's sake." And though the reward may seem small, it is our duty still "virtue is its own reward." So let all who stand within Chicago gates be assured we shall not excuse immorality in any one be he poor or rich, and if one is neglected by his or her morals are corrupted then is the one neglected deserving of every censure. Then let us ever be careful to respect ourselves, ever keeping our "character as well as our reputation," and by so doing we will by the force of our purity cause virtue to be more virtuous. In our own words "Ruth the Moabites" who because of her divine power for good received a well merited reward, "for she was lifted from a lowly estate, to high rank and riches." Lincoln Cemetery company in appreciation of the great advertising good the Defender has done for the association has deeded to Mr. Abbott, editor, a beautiful lot in the choicest part of their cemetery. Mr. J. L. Patton in a nice little speech presented the same on behalf of his company, the same being graciously received. We are glad the Defender is being served with the vision of this kind was brought forth. We try to do this kind of work for all our patrons. See their big ad in this issue. PICK ODD NOOKS FOR NESTS Swallows Are Cunning Builders But Sometimes Select Precarious Sites for Homes. Swallows are diligent and cunning builders of nests, but they are not always wise in their choice of a locality. In proof of this a couple of birds last year chose a secluded corner among the tatters of my barn and managed to hatch and rear their young successfully. This year a couple, probably the same, repaired the nest and laid their eggs. But one morning both birds were found lying dead on the floor, the windows having closed and the door locked by a too careful servant. A favorite place for a swallow to build its nest is the upper corner of a window. This situation is to say the least precarious, as an energetic housemaid has merely unintentionally or otherwise to draw down the sash and the nest is at once in ruins. I remember once quite unintentionally acting the part of the energetic housemaid. I drew down the sash and managed just in time to save the structure from falling to please. Supporting it with my hands, I told one of my boys to bring his schoolbag, and having fastened it securely to the window, deposited therein the remains of the nest and the young family of birds. The parents were shy at first, but on closer investigation, having satisfied themselves that their little ones were still alive, they accommodated themselves to the situation and brought them up immediately in the usual way, sending them at once into the world doubtless all the wiser for their nurture in this abode of learning. In this fortune happened this summer to a swallow's nest in the window of a cottage in the Chevrotlots hill. This time the nest was almost totally destroyed, but help came from a probably unlocked-four quarter. The dismayed cries of the feathered builders attracted their companions, who flocked around in large number and rendered every assistance in repairing the damage—The Scotman. Men Write and Women Keep It is one of the settled facts in the history of love letters that men will write and woman will keep. A woman cherishes her love letters as she cherishes her mirror or her powder puff. She carries them in her satchel and reads them in the twopenny tube. She ties them in blue ribbons and perfumes them with violette de Parme. She kisses them before she goes to bed and presses them to her bosom she goes her hair up in the morning. She kisses them for weeks and knows where to find them years; and about the only safe thing the man who has written them can do is to marry her. Speedy Relief From Eucalyptus Make a poutie by scalding wheatbread well moistened with milk. Then stir in a good bit of catnip (blossoms are best), and add a few drops of laudanum. Spread on a piece of muslin with a thin muslin or gauze over to keep poutie from sticking to the skin over ear, coming well below and back, and it is possible, keeping it so with hotwater bottle or brick—National Magazine. Few Cities In India stupendous population consists of farm laborers. India is one vast farm—one almost interminable stretch of fields. It is a beautiful country—beautiful rivers, beautiful mountains. It is a land of abundant life. The jungles are full of animals, the air is alive with birds and fowls of almost all kinds, the waters are alive with fish. Vegetable it is abundant and varied.

When our congenial friend Averdorph, is seen down the "White Way," it is more or less to show some visiting friend the many attractions; which was the object of his visit a few nights ago, and the ovation he received from a party of his old friends, who are regulars at one of the most attractive places, showed beyond all doubt that Jule was still a popular fellow with the boys. A request was immediately made for the song, "You were alright in your younger days, you were a great quest, we are at a loss to understand.

Why some people criticise society and those who are fond of social life? Well you watch that person and see how many social affairs they send their regrets to, when it is complimentary, and especially, when it is to be at the home of some very select family. The first question they greet you with, is, are you going to such and such an affair? That of course is the curious side of their cynical nature. But the worst of it is, rather than miss being counted among those present, they will presume to attend in a business suit. Mr. James Warren, 3306 Indiana avenue, is confined to his home seriously. Thus, Cole, Los Angeles, passed through the city on route for her home from Detroit, where she went to visit friends. She was the guest of Mrs. I. N. Dunlap, 3763 Wabash.

Mr. Fred Berry of 3439 Dearborn street, has returned from a pleasant sojourn at Wilberforce, O., to whence he accompanied his son, Leroy Berry, who enters upon his junior year in that institution. Mr. Berry says that the statistics show that Wilberforce, while not so heavily financially enriched as his sister, is second only to Tuskegee in its industrial departments, and second to none in its classical curriculum. It has more students enrolled than at any previous year in its history and is altogether in a most nourishing condition.

THEIR SINGING HARD LABOR People of Star Island, Says Cella Thaxter, Grind Out Sounds With Tremendous Exertion. Among people of average musical ability there is less singing than there used to be. Nearly everybody enjoys singing, and there was a time when nearly everybody was expected, on occasion, to sing. But from different causes—a more exacting standard, the rivalry of the phonograph, and other reasons—amateur singers are fewer than they were. It is a matter for regret from one point of view, and from another for rejoicing. In a recently published letter, Celia Thaxter tells how some of the Star island folks, during her long residence at the islands of Shoals, used to sing "Their singing," she declared, "was truly astonishing, indeed. I might say exclamation. They go at it precisely as if they were sawing wood, and grind out the woods with such exertion that their faces become crimson and the perspiration stands in beads on their foreheads."-Youth's Companion. Chick's Curious Upbringing. A little Andalusian chicken owned by a Kelso farmer has had a curious upbringing so far. A pigon recently built its nest about fourteen feet from the ground at Floors Home farm, and on the nest being examined the bird was found to have hatched the Andalusian chicken, the chick's mother in the pigeon's nest, appealed the egg in the pigeon's nest. The en was given to the bantam hen, which has taken to the young bird as if it had been its own. Was Suspicious. "That was suspicious," said Senator Newlands, in an address in Reno on irrigation. "That was as suspicious on our opponents' part as the action of the railroad conductor. A passenger, having lost his ticket, paid this conductor in cash, and then said: 'Why do you put half my fare in your coat pocket and the other half in your trouser?' Well, the company's got to have something, ain't it?" was the reply. Whatsoever Thy Hand Findeth. "I have been a great deal happier," she said at last, "since I've given up thinking about what is easy and pleasant and being discontented because I could not have my own. Our life is determined for us—and it makes the mind very free when we give up wishing and only think of bearing what is laid upon us, and doing what is given us to do."-George Ellot. His Last Word. Here is one case where the husband had the last word and possibly scored a point. It was during a little spat. His wife had been talking for ten minutes without a letup and the end came only when she asserted vehemently, "There, I hope I've made myself plain!" "Made yourself plain, my dear!" he replied. "Why, bless your heart, I didn't know you had anything to do with it. I thought you were born that way."

There are indigenous to Brazil and growing wild in certain regions; two well-known species of trees which are of interest to the commercial world because of their possibilities as producers of cotton fiber. To those who know the cotton-growing industry, as it exists in the United States and in other countries, the idea of cotton be produced from trees present in the world is not remarkable fact about these trees their occurrence in precisely those regions where it has seemed to be impossible or at least difficult to grow ordinary cotton. No other country in the world possesses so large an area of land which may be utilized for the growing of cotton as does Brazil, and that in other areas it is possible to make trees for the production of cotton. The production of the producing world as indicating that Brazil must be reckoned with as a future source of large quantities of the world's cotton supply. One of these trees is called "Barragua," from its being barrack-shaped, after the peculiar, swelled trunk which is its characteristic. The tree grows twenty-five to thirty-five feet in height, tapering from the great bulge in the trunk to a very slender, one, from which branches form about twelve feet above, the ground. The trunk is entirely covered with hard and sharp thorns. The pods in which the cotton grows are five to eight inches long and two to four inches in diameter. The fiber is coarse and white and adheres closely to the seeds, which are somewhat smaller than pears. It is a long and a strong material, while too coarse or use in textiles of any kind it would lend itself admirably to the fabrication of blankets, cotton twine, and a large variety of other materials. The habitat of this tree is in central and southern Bahia, and it grows to a lesser extent in the State of Pernambuco—Consular Reports. Starves Self Fifty Years. A strange case of a brother's fifty years' voluntary starvation was brought to light lately by the death, near Lucerne, of a Swiss shepherd, named Dangeli. Dangeli, who was seventy-seven years of age, was found lying on some straw in a barn. He was in the last stages of exhaustion, and was starving. "My papers are correct," Dangeli told the farmer. "You will find that I am wearing three suits of clothes. In each of the suits are pocketlets in which you will find altogether $6,400 in notes and shares. You have worn in France as a shepherd and most every penny of my earnings for my sister. I walked from France to Lucerne so that she will benefit by every farthing of my savings." The money was found on Dangeli, and given to his sister. She believed him to have died long ago. Any QUI to Order She had been married a week, but she wasn't going to show it. She had spent half the morning scrubbing the newness off her shopping bag and the other half in practicing a supercilious droop of the eyelids before her miracle rose. She was quite sure of herself as she saliued into the local department store. "Yes, madam!" naked the floorwalker in a voice of milk and honey, "and what can I show you?" "I want—something in oil," she demanded, "suitable for my dining room." "So, madam; quite so," said the floorwalker, gazing meditatively at her wedding ring. "Would you prefer saled oil, oilcloth, oil palting, or sardines?" -Rebohbot Sunday Herald. A Bad Habit Grown people and children alike are inclined to fall into the very bad habit of sliding down into a chair and sitting for hours with the spine bent almost in a half circle. That this is injurious thousands of people who indulge in it never so much as dream, but that it is the cause of many serious injuries those who have investigated the condition of the continued strain upon one side of the spinal column with the corresponding compressions on the other gives rise to nervous difficulties and affections of the brain. Dizziness, nausea and blind spells are not infrequently the result of this practice. Hog That Glimbed a Ladder Hog that climbed a Ladder. Wis.

He saw some thing pulling apples from a tree and supposed it was a person. He de- demanded a surrender, but no answer came. Then he threatened to shoot. In due time he pulled the trigger and discovered that he had shot one of his bogs. The hog had climbed up on a ladder and was helping himself to the apples.

One for Each Face A western politician had quite a reputation in his own town for successful duplicity. It was generally believed that his idea of party principles was to work and vote with the winning side. He once entered the store of a druggist who happened, at the time, to be opposed to him politically. "I want a jar of face cream." he said. "Be sanitary, Tom." replied the drug "Get two eggs." —From Success Magazines Colored Americans’ Too Slow.

Every Man Approached on Proposl- tion That Guaranteed Him Winner Fell for Balt—Case of the Biter Being Bitten. I am interested in the psychology of the “sucker.” I have-fust heard a story that will show you how they bite, ‘Two surething followers of the green cloth packed the{r suit case full of loaded dice and bought tickets for the exuberant and trustful west. At the top these dice had rounded cor- ners; at the bottom the edge of every high’ number was carefully beveled, ‘The Uttle spinner through the center ‘was moveable. The two gamblers made a canvass of the saloons in every town they vis Ited. ‘They pointed out to the saloon keepers the value of the dice for beat, ing the counter players for drinks, Every saloon keeper they approached bought one. By pushing the spindle 50 that the sound-cornered side was in service the’ patrons invariably threw low numbers, ‘Taking the dice to spin for the houge the saloon Keep- er. or bartender, deftly pushed the spindle in the opposite direction, spun the dice on tts “high” side and won from the patron. Fine business—for the house, But the two traveling sharpers had another game. They sent the name of every purchaser to two confeder- ates in tho east, and these partners Prepared to take to the road. With them they carried a similar spinning @ice loaded to throw only eight. They went into each place where thelr ad- yance confederates had sold, played for drinks with the proprietor and lost, then suggested playing for money and lost. After these losses had reached 1 fair figure these trustful players reached for thelr “roll” and suggest- ed one play for the bundle. What bar- Keeper with a fixed spinner would miss the opportunity? ‘The bartender would Jead on the throw and the ac- tive gambler of the two confederates would reach for the dice. Then he would deftly palm it, substitute bis ‘own that was “loaded for bear,” win the bet, and before the bartender could let out a roar the pair would vanish, But even that was not all. Not con- tent with selling the barkeeper the original crooked dice at $20 each and then sending In two trimmers to take ‘Bis roll away from him, a third patr canvassed each of the towns previous. ly invaded by thelr fellows and sold crooked dico right and left to men in the street and saloon patrons at five dollars each so that they could “go In and trim the house.” In other words, every one who was approached on a proposition that guar- anteed them as winners fell tor the bait and laid in walt for the prey, Not only were the saloon keeper _ pur. chasers afrald to spring one of thelr Jonded instruments, but they suspect- ed every one owntng dice #0 strongly that the cusfom of “throwing for drinks” was abolished in more than a score of western cities, It’s a great game, that sucker gane. And even the canny fish bite when the bait ts shiny gnough or there Is an attractive plece of red flannel on the hook.—New York Telegraph. This Congregation Was Punished. The “Bluecoat Boys” of an older time had worse things to complain of then hard discipjine and poor food. Since the day when “Christes bospitall erected was, a passing dede of pittle,” they have had their grievances. And they were fated to hear probably the longest sermon ever preached from any pulpit. It was in 1671, and the preacher was Isaac Barrow. He sub- sequently published the sermon, and ft runs to 230 pages. Its subject was “The Duty.and Reward ét Bounty to the Poor,” and Tillotson has said of it that “it seems to have exhausted the whole argument and left no consider atfon belonging to it untoucb’d.” No one will be likely to quarrel with that statement. But there would have been some excuse for a school boys’ strike in those days.—London Chronicle. White Snaite Are Edible. The large, whitish snail, found on the downs and chalk lands of Surrey and Sussex, 1s certainly entable, though I should hesitate at the ordin- ary brown or striped hedgerow snail. ft bas been confectured that these Inrge white snails are in direct de- scent from the Roman tmportation of snails, which may very well be true. But the country foll will-not eat them. A “foreign gentleman” was held in great scorn by certain villagers be- cause he collected these snails, gave them a week's special diet and then ate them, Cooked with the right sauce the snail can be delicious.

It fs then to be observed that should this bill have gone through, while the whites would have had several high schools our race would have had none and all this by legislative enactment, However, due to the indignation re- sulting from the attempt to put through the sald bill a quietus was placed on it and it Nes dormant now, Probably only to be revived next ses: sion.

Of course the seat made vacant by the person now becomes available for any white passengers, notwithstanding before {t Was not only tMlegal, but perfectly ob- noxious for them to so occupy it. Notwithstanding the pecullarities shown above there still remains the law of libel as It is In force in the southern states to show most con- clusively how the law makers look upon the race, It is a fundamental principle of the law of libel that in order for a word to be libelous and actionable there must be proven by the plaintiff that damage accrued from the publication of such words, or the ‘word must be so detamatory that the statute declares it to be actionable without tho proof of damage. Tho statutes of the different southern states declares that the calling of a white person a Negro is actionable in itself and suffictent to recover dam- ages without the proof of damage sus- talned, lvidence is inadmissable on the part of the defendant to show that no damage resulted from the utter- auce or publication of the word “nig- ger” or Negro. VACUUM CLEANER FOR FLEAS Devotion of Big Maltese Cat to Mod. ern Machine Results In Discovery of Benefit to Pet Animals. New York—Through a discovery made by “Buster,” a large Maltese cat, the flea population of Murray Hill, L. L, {8 fast disappearing. Recently the animal's owner added a vacuum clean- er to the household equipment, After pumping the dust out of her rugs she applied the nozzle playfully to the cat's fur. At first “Buster” showed alarm, but, finding no damage fol- lowed, he lay still while recelving a thorough cleansing, When the vacuum cleaner was brought into use a few days later “Buster” promptly ran to the nozzle, rubbing agatnst it and purring until his coat received another going over. When the dust bag was emptied sev- eral fleas were seen struggling amid the debris im the ash can, [t was ob- served that the cat was less annoyed by his tiny enemfes than formerly, and it became evident he attributed his relief to the vacuum cleaner. News of the new fien catcher spread among other owners of pet ant- mals, and the nozzle of the weapon was turned on many dogs and cats. At the end of the onslaught the con- tents of the dust bags were burned. Hedges which had begun to show the effects of too much service as back scratchers, are beginning to thrive again and the pet animals in the Mur- ray HIIl section of Flushing expect to pass the dog days very comfortably. GIRL FRIGHTENS A BURGLAR Ordered to Get Money, Little Lady Leaves. Room and Pretends to Telephone to’ Police Station. Stockton, Cal—That a large quan- tity of silverware and jewelry {s still at the home of Emest E.

Hearing a nolge, the girl thought it ‘was one of her sisters and told her to walt a moment while she lighted the-gas. : As she stepped down, sho was con- fronted by a man, who demanded money. “ Mildred told him to’ walt a moment and Went {nto the next room.

"I've racked my brain about the thing for the past two days, but I guess I'll have to give it up as a bad job. It's too much for me." The speaker was Monty Rankin. Everybody knows Monty as the genial dope dispenser, as per the doctor's prescription. The thing he had reference to was a crystallized mass as large as a hen's egg which was attracting thousands to his show windows. It seems one dark and stormy night a yellow eyed cat got to prowling around behind the prescription counter and knocked several bottles of drugs down into a large mortar. immediately the bottles broke, a pinkish green-blue glass shot skyward and an odor as if someone was playing "Violets" filled the air. All of the clerks, the lady who had come in to buy a two cent stamp, and the cat, stood as one in a daze for at least the fraction of a second. When they awoke this thing which looks as near not being a diamond as could be, lay before their astonished gaze (we started to say "morified", but that's such an old one). P. S.-When the new Field Columbian Museum is built in Jackson Park Monty declares he is going to spend an afternoon out there looking at the curios.

L. is not a dead one when it comes to drumming up up business. --- We learn from reliable sources there is no truth in the rumor that Nathaniel Caldwell was offered the position of postmaster at Chicago. It is always a great pleasure to us to set the public right and we find upon close investigation the call came from Bowling Green, K. Y. key. R. A. J. Shaw, a prominent attorney of Chicago and Englewood, is being spoken of as candidate for judge of the inferior court. Mr. Shaw has made an enviable record as an after-dinner speaker and is one of the best judges of Pittsburgh stogies this side of the Mason and Dixon line. Very few if any of the patrons of Leit's cate are aware of the fact that the genial proprietor is an elocutionist of rare ability. At a late seance the other night by request he rendered (and, by way, "rendered" is right) that touching little gem entitled, "Sleep, Little One, Sleep." When he had finished he looked around at the empty tables in a bewildered way and as he went down the back stairs the porter overheard him say, "Lock up." When Artists Can't Agree Lodging complaints against artists is a common diversion of their fellow tenants who lack the artistic temperament, but the most unusual grievance and from her-standpoint the most vital has been registered by the janitress of a building largely occuled by struggling painters. "Let them daub away all they please in their own rooms," she said; that is nobody's business, but for odiness sake, let them leave the lothes poles in the backyard alone. he paint them fresh every few days cause no two of the artists can appropriate color, and don't mind pole hang Boutin, Virginia, 45 years, 1822 Lake St; Oct. 21.

"Keckle" Moll, After Rest of Year, Resumes Position at Quarterback—Better Than Ever. One of the sensations at Madison this season was the return to the game of "Keckle" Moll at quarterback. The little fellows' rest of a year seems to have been a great benefit to him. He has come back with a determination and willingness to work that has indicated a conception of that C "Keckle" Moll. about which so much is heard—"the true Wisconsin spirit." He has lost none of his old-time accuracy in passing and boiling while his endurance is better than it has been since the days of his freshman year. DEED FOR ANDERSON TROPHY Bowl is Formally Presented to American Automobile Association for Use in Glidden Tour. A deed of gift formally presenting the Anderson trophy bowl to the American Automobile association to be used as a prize in the Glidden tour, was executed at Anderson, S. C., the other day, and the bowl was forwarded to Robert H. Cooper, president of the association. It is provided in the deed of gift that the winner of the trophy, which is to be awarded for individual excellence, shall furnish a bond of $2,000 to guarantee the care of the trophy during the time it may be in his possession, and until it may be awarded after the tour of the following year. The trophy bowl was designed by a Philadelphia jeweler, and cost $1,000. Flelder Jones Is Rich. Fielder Jones, former manager of the Chicago White Sox, today is a rich man, and it all came about through his ability to seize an opportunity and invest his money at the right time. Having a chance to purchase 240 acres of land in Oregon last year, Jones made the deal at a little better than $15 per acre, the same being bought as a straight timber deal for investment. Today Jones wouldn't sell his property for many times this amount, as it has been discovered that on it are some of the best-known coal deposits in this sector. Strenuous Efforts Will Be Made to Secure Men Who Will Sweep Board In All Olympic Events. Great efforts will be made to secure a team from the United States for the Olympic games at Stockholm, Sweden, next year, that will not only sweep the boards in the field and track events, but will capture most of the other events as well. More attention will be paid in the next selections of a team to rife and revolver shooting, lawn tennis, wrestling, cycling, gymnastics, etc. This will mean that more men will have to be sent abroad. As the American Olympic committee has not the slightest doubt that it will be able to raise the fund of $50,000, there will, however, be no need to be sparing in the number of representatives that are sent across the Atlantic. "The program that has been drawn up by Sweden," said James E. Sullivan, the secretary of the Olympic committee, "is absolutely fair. Nobody is favored and we have no complaints to make. "We are beginning to take care of other than the field and tracks events this time," he went on to say. "In London in 1908 we were poorly represented in the cycling contests, for one thing. Amateur cycling does not amount to much nowadays in this country; but we hope, nevertheless, to gather a strong team. "I am afraid it will be some years before we can excel the Germans, Norwegians and Bohemians in gymnastics. However, during the last five years wonderful strides have been made at the colleges in gymnastics, and when we come to look into the matter we may find that, after all, we have some real Olympic material at our disposal." SPORTING GOSSIP "Chick" Evans continues to golf it. He whom a paragraph offends is indeed of tender skin. While the other coaches were shouting Stagg was thinking. When the frost is on the pumpkin it is also on the famous game of baseball. Occasionally a football coach varies the monotony by displaying a gleam of optimism. Football promises to kill more in its few short weeks than baseball did all summer long. Evidently Pennsylvania does not believe in shouting out her football rivals this year. Death has begun garnering his 1911 crop of football players. No country can afford this kind of waste. Even more excruciatingly funny than the review of football is an Englishman's review of baseball practice. When bowling, semi-pro ball, football and a few others all come at once, what chance is there for wrestling? "Doc" Roller says the outlook for this year in the mat game is better than ever. He does not claim to be an optimist. One would have to go a lot further than eight judges to find a dissenting voice in the matter of Cobbe suprem in the American league. Teams Are Not Alert Then, Says Eckersall—Football Coaches and Players Differ on Time to Spring Delivers. Football players and coaches have different ideas as to the best time in contests to spring trick plays or any other fakes which might catch opposing teams off guard. Many believe the substitution of fast and elusive players in the latter stages of the games is the best time to spring a deceptive play, while others hold a directly contrary opinion, writes Walter H. Eckersall in Chicago Tribune. In football it is a well known fact that at the beginning of contests the players are not thoroughly alert to the situation, and those who have played the game know the men do not enter the game with the proper spirit until they have been tackled a few times or hit opponents hard in the interference. The minds of the players are not sharpened to the situation and they do not gain that alertness or aggressiveness which they acquire as the games progress. In 1906, the first year of the forward pass, the old "shoestring" trick invariably was attempted on the play following a kickoff. The defensive team had not yet become accustomed to the play, and as a result it often was good for substantial gains. As the 1906 season progressed, one of the fundamental principles of the ends was to scan the extremities of the field to see that no offensive player had been placed there to receive a forward pass. Although coached on this point, many of the ends, carried away with the excitement of the contest, failed to carry out the coaches' instructions. A number of teams, especially high and preparatory elevenes, attempt the play this year, but as there is no deception to the formation it generally fails against a well coached team. Coaches of the big eleven reprimand a player severely if he is tricked on a play of this kind, although the play generally is attempted some time during an important contest. There is such a great chance of its ultimate success that the majority of the mentors are willing to take chances with the play, but so many formations can be evolved from sending a man to one side of the field or the other that it now is foolish to take a chance with a forward pass unless the offensive player near the side line is not covered by a member of the defensive eleven. The moment a player on the offensive队 is sent wide on either extremity of the line the defense is weakened to the extent that it must send a man to watch the shifted player. Under these conditions formations can be evolved of deceptive character which can be sent on the opposite side from the shifted player, although the defensive eleven nine times out of ten will expect the play on the strong side. Invariably on the down following the initial kickoff in a game the players stand erect and attempt to discern the weaknesses of their opponents. It is several seconds before the teams clash in the first scrimmage. The players are not warmed up to the conflict and as a result they overlook many things whilst they spot in an instant as the contest progresses. As a result the best and most opportune time to spring a trick or deceptive play is on the play following the first kickoff. If formations are evolved in which the players assume necessary positions to make the play a success and if the ball is snapped before the defensive team has a chance to size up the situation and before minds are sharpened to the point where they will be on the lookout for such plays, such trick plays are almost certain to be successful.

Finally, a man of genius, when he writes a book, and "all the good comes rushing into his soul" is in an abnormal state, and hence, the lives of men of letters have often been in glaring contrast to their writings. Montagne tells us that he always observed super-celestial opinions to be accompanied with subterranean morals; on the other hand, the most latitudinarian professors of epicureanism have often lived like anchortes or trappists. Some of the best sea songs have been written by men who never snuffed a salt water seize; stirring war songs have been written by timid men and women who would have shrieked at the sight of a mouse; and hymns steeped in the very spirit of devotion have been written by men of doubtful morality, who were never less at home than in a Christian church. Charles Lamb was ready to wager that Milton's morning hymn in Paradise was penned at midnight; and we know positively that Thompson, who sang the praises of early rising in the "Seasons," used to lie abed till noon. Sir Richard Steele could discourse eloquently on temperance—when he was not drunk; Woodworth, in his "Old Oak Bucket," sang the praise of cold water under the inspiration of brandy. Doctor Johnson, who wrote so well on politeness, interrupted his opponents with "You lie, sir!" "You are a vile Whig, sir!" Burns was a compound of "dirt and deify"; Rousseau, who was always filling people's eyes with tears, betrayed and slandered his benefactors in turn, and sent his children to the foundlings hospital. When Moore proposed to Scott to go and see Melrose Abbey, as Sir Walter had described it, by moonlight, "Pooch, pooh," said Scott, "you don't suppose I ever saw it by moonlight!"—William Matthews. Ruskin as a Grocer Ruskin was once a grocer. In 1874 he opened a shop in Paddington street, Notting Hill, in order, as he announced, "to supply the poor with pure tea in packets as small as they choose to buy, without making a profit on the subdivision, larger orders being, of course, equally acceptable from anybody who cares to promote honest dealing." The shop did not attract Ruskin complained in "Fors Clavigera" that "the poor only like to buy their tea where it is brilliantly lighted and eloquently ticked; and as I resolutely refuse to compete with my neighbor tradesmen, either in gas or rhetoric, the patient subdivision of my parcels passes little recognized as an advantage by my uncalculated public." The shop soon closed down, and the grocery trade lost the most distinguished representative it is ever likely to possess—London Chronicle Low Temperature.

IUSICAL AND DRAMATIC Landside of Good Acts are Coming Down the Stroll and Every Act / Receives Its Full Share of Applauses. And still they come, oh I mean good acts, not only mixed teams but male and female teams. Then one can find a female who wants to assert her independence, doing what the boys call, "hoofing it all by her lonesome," and lots of times I guess the poor girls do feel lonely. The Pakin. The "Mayor of Dixie," is holding forth at this pretty house and Cliff Green, who will be remembered as the second husband in a one-act farce, "her first husband" seen some time since at this theater in which he did some good work, had the title role. Now Cliff is coming but of course he has a few more things to learn, above all he must stop his kidding, not because it is bad but Green will laugh out loud and that is the bad part so please "cut it my boy." Mr. Green is a very good comedian and before many days will make an older comedian then he sit up and take notice as he is the real goods and gets many a laugh out of the public as Steve Jenkins. All the characters are in fairly acceptable hands. The chorus needs a few more members then the good dancers, pretty faces and fine singers will be so much missed. On the whole the "Mayor of Dixie" is worth seeing. Several new songs are being introduced and are well sung. A swell bill is on at the above named house: The four flying Bainards are aerialists with plenty of nerve as well as plenty of novelties. The ladies do some wonderful trapeze work and the act is one that could not fail to please the most fastidious. The "Great Rives" is a surprise and well I will say, "it" is very classy. A. MISS BOGER IN RECITAL. Mias Delpha Boger, Contralto. This is the season of stars! Chicago music lovers are about to tender a testimonial to Miss C. Delpha Boger, the well-known contralto, at Oakland Music Hall, Nov. 1, at 8:30 p. m. Miss Boger comes from the Columbia Conservatory of Aurora, Il., and has done some noteworthy work as a solist, rendering her services to such worthy charities as the Phyllis Wheaty Home and the several large churches in the city. Her instructors speak of her as having an unusual contralto voice and have urged the Cleff Club to arrange a testimonial whereby she may be enabled to continue her musical training. One of the colored entertainment leaders attributes to her powers that no other Negro contralto has ever had. As a "I" can sing, dance and flirt to perfection; "I" is a head liner. In place of the Congo King Co., the services of Thomas and Wallace have been secured, their work is of such a class that to call them other than hits and big hits at that, would be unfair. Lizzie Wallace of the team is an old-time favorite of the stroll and her rendition of "Lovey Dear is a "plenty". Mr. Thomas is a fit partner for Miss Wallace, he is clever and delivers the goods. George Hayes and the Clancy Twins are the "big apple on the tree" this week. The twins can sing and their slang is the cutest stunt imaginable. Mr. Hayes makes an excellent foll for the boys in their little singing act, entitled "The Try-out". Capt. Tlebor's seals are educated without a doubt. They are almost human especially in their capacity for food, but one forgets their gourmandizing habits if you start to figure how many sealskin coats one could have out of the skins of eight seals. "Please wake me up, I am dreaming." Thanks. However, the animals are cleverness personified. The Monogram. The Clippers are rightly named. Their name is synonymous of their work and Mrs. Clipper is just as sweet and pretty as she need be. They do an excellent turn and are the kind that get the contracts. Miss Daisy Collins was very good in her number entitled, "I wonder what's the matter with my eyes?" The lady was in a little deep where she sang "Senora," but for all that she is very pleasant to look at and if careful about selecting her songs will be a good number. Mayweather and Brown is "peaches," especially in their Zunz scene. Miss Brown in the vernacular of today simply "mips." The act is great and it took the people's fancy. Woody, the Molasses Candy Boy and that beautiful doll Leona Marshall are again at the Monogram putting it over the late every time.

She is to the contralto singers what Mme. Hackley is to the soprano, Hazel Harrison to the pianists, Mrs. C. C. Lewis to the readers. 19. Yoakum, Tex.; 20. Cuero, Tex.; 21. Victora, Tex.; 22.

West Alexander, Pa.-His furious fight with a huge owl may be fatal to Philp Cruzan, a wealthy farmer, who is suffering from terrible wounds inflicted in the battle at his home. Cruzan, who is very feeble, while walking across his front yard was struck in the face by the owl, which in its blind flight apparently collided with him unintentionally. The big bird fastened its talons in Cruzan's collar and aimed a vicious at A man is being held up by an eagle. Owl Attacks Farmer. tack with its beak at the aged man's face. Cruzan was unable to tear the bird, which was a tremendous one of its species, from its hold. The owl appeared unusually ferulous in its attack and soon had Cruzan blind from the blood which coursed over his eyes. Exhausted, he finally sank to the ground, where he was completely at the mercy of the owl. He was found some time later unconscious, with the owl still pecking and clawing him with beak and talons. MAN IS BLINDED BY HORNETS May Lose Sight of Both Eyes as Result of Trying to Exterminate Nest. Millville, N. J.—With sight of both eyes lost and his hearing probably permanently impaired, William Ford is in a serious condition as a result of striking a nest of hornets on Crow's Nest farm, near Pine Grove. The hornets had been bothering cattle and Ford resolved that he would destroy the nest. With a stout club he set out to e Hornets Swarmed Upon Him. accomplish the task. He hit the nest once and in a second the hornets swarmed about him. His features are unrecognizable. CHOPS TREE TO CATCH THIEF Woman Falls, However, to Capture Peach Loving Lad, Who Scampers Off. Alton, Ill.—Rather than lose the fruit of a peach tree by boys stealing, Mrs. John Dufold chopped down a tree in which a boy sat on a branch grinning at her. The boy munched peaches during the razing operation. Her pleas to let her peaches remain on the tree were not answered by the neighborhood boys. When she saw a boy on the topmost branch, she ordered him down. He did not obey. When she began whacking on the tree trunk with an ax the boy climbed to a lower branch. "Now I've got you," she shouted as the tree fell. She was mistaken, however, as the boy scampered across the yard when the tree and its fruit struck the ground Baby in Fireless Cocker Willows, Cal. — A fireless cooker has come to the rescue of Mr. and Mrs. A.

The Sunday before Michaelmas day saw, until recent times, a curious custom at Kingston-Thames. The parishioners attended in force at the parish church, armed with nuts, which they cracked and ate throughout the service "Nut cracking," however, was not peculiar to Kingston. Goldsmith makes his Vicar of Wakefield say of his parishioners: "They kept up the Christmas Carol, sent true-love knots or Valentine morning, ate pancakes on Shrovetide, and religiously cracked nuts on Michaelmas eve."—London Chronicle.
