The wall of prejudice, injustice, unlawful living and hatred would soon be made to give way before the ax of unify if yielded in the hands of men after the type of A. B.

Whitter, Chief Probation Officer, Brings Forth Sensation Charges of Cruelty to Wards By Women Assistants. CHARGES AGAINST COLLORED OFFICERS SHOCK COMMUNITY. Two Boys Say They Were Lashed, Fastened in Sacks and Thrown in Barn—Six Sept in One Bed—Much Coveted Position Hangs in Balance. Cruelties inflicted upon inmates of various homes and institutions were described this week by boys and girls, county wards testifying before the civil service commission in the Witter hearing as victims of the cruelties. The stories, told before to probation officers and others connected with the juvenile department without effect, will be the basis for wholesale discharge of the inactive ones, according to the county attorney's office. Story of Two Boys. Warren and Alonzo Williams, brothers, 13 and 11 years old, told of brutal treatment at the home of Mrs. Louisa McDonald, West Slxy-first and South Ada streets. Lashed until their backs were cut and bleeding, the boys were put in potato sacks, which were tied securely, and then were thrown into a barn at the rear of the house, according to their testimony. They told of gaining their freedom through the aid of a hole in one sack and by fleeing naked through the streets to their homes, two blocks away. The angered father then removed the boys from the care of Mrs. McDonald. Mrs. Sade Williams, the mother, and two neighbors, Mrs. Anna Harris and Mrs. Lulu B. Griffin, took the stand and told of the boys arriving home, their backs bearing evidence of the lashing they had received. Mrs. Frank Jones, formerly Hazel Ford, a county ward, was put on the stand to testify as another accuser of William H. Birch, the policeman connected with the illinois Industrial school. She charged that the policeman misrepresented her age and kept her in "bondage" after she had attained her majority. Mrs. Jones also told of cruel lashings she suffered at the McDonald home. Stripped of clothing, her hands and feet tied, she was beaten with a strap, she said. She exhibited scars as evidence of the treatment. Girl Tells Treatment. Elizabeth Cain, 14 years old, told of being taken to the Park Ridge school by policeman Birch and being forced to ride on his lap. Pearl Hughes, who was denied the privilege of attending her mother's funeral, took the stand and told of girls at prayer being kicked and ridiculed in Mrs. Covington's home. She said she was not informed of her mother's death. Florence Hagans, 13 years old, 1307 West Sixty-first street, was another witness who said that when she got to the home of Mrs. Covington six of the girls slept crossways in one bed. She said that Mrs. Covington whipped one of the girls with a slipper until her arm was black and blue and that she threatened to whip the girls with a rope when they said their prayers. "I did not get enough to eat," said the Hagans girl. "I was hungry when I left the table. Mrs. Covington said she would give most food to the girls that did washing for her. Once she a turmoil over the I left the tab and the she would give that did wash Washington, Ga., Nov. 3.—The "unwritten law" was again demonstrated when A. B. Walker shot and killed C. S. Hollenstad (white), a planner, for insulting his wife. It was claimed by the mob which later formed to lynch this man who was protecting his own and his wife's honor that the trouble arose because of some misunderstanding between the planter and Mrs. Walker. Needless to say, at no time is the white man lost for an ever-ready excuse to protect the honor and life of his own and this weak subterfuge was but one of the many used as a loophole through which to commit one of their filthy, dirty deeds. It is a well known fact that the majority of the male whites of the south revel in the intimacy of our women and think, like the small, narrow minded dogs that they are, that all our women are susceptible to the allurements of their arts and persuasions. But nevertheless in the instance of Mrs. Walker this southern white gentleman (?) was forcibly convinced, as will be hereafter many white men of the south who, like the vampire who so deservingly was killed, that all our women are not of the caliber they are accustomed to live in shame with. I saw Mrs. Walker when she entered the store belonging to Hollenhead and watched the purchasing of goods by the lady and saw the look of malevolence and devilish lust that lurked in every feature of the honorable (?) white citizen. I was a witness to the criminal assault perpetrated on the person of the lady, who succeeded at last in escaping from the grasp of the blood sucking vampire who had made her his victim. On gaining her release from the vicious grasp of the brute the poor woman ran to her home, her clothes shreds, her body lacerated, andASPED out in a voice almost inaudible from an excess of terror and shame, the story of her humiliation to her husband who, with every sense of righteous indignation, went to the store of the beast and shot him down like the dog he was. After avenging the wrongs of his wife Mr. Walker gave himself up to the authorities who as always gave word to the mob which of course immediately formed as to the direction in which they would escort their prisoner to the jail as a "hint to the wise or the brutal is sufficient." No more was needed and the mob met the sheriff and his charge on the outskirts of the city where they succeeded in taking the man from the officer. It was done without any trouble, rest assured, but drink had so petrified the brains of the shedders of innocent blood that while they were rejoicing over his capture and subsequent death, Mr. Walker successfully made his escape. It is to be most sincerely hoped that he will never be apprehended. In this town there are at least fifteen white men who are sapping the virtue of our women and their list for things sensual manifests itself in their beastly desire to own body and soul every woman of the race that comes under their observation. It is with the greatest difficulty that one of our women can keep her moral skirts from being besmirched with the shoe of immoral propensities which are so inherent in the breast of the so-called southern white gentleman. Must it ever be that our men will stand by and see murder, thievery and rape committed on one another and close their eyes to the enormity of the crime? Must we ever wait on God? True, we must wait on him in prayer, but after prayer let us listen to the still small voice which says, "God helps those who help themselves." Take God at His word and do as David did. Go forth in the faith to battle the Philistines. Let your aim not only be high morally but true when you seek to protect your own. The brutal assaults on our women Id come to an end if our men infested the same manhood of A. Walker. Some of our women really feel honored to be the garbage can for a white man, knowing these men have no intentions for good but only seek their bodies for the pleasure of their own selves. Such women should be organized from the ranks of our men and left to work out in soul's salvation, as they be to drag down our race with shame. The Chicago Defender. Accused Officers Well Known. Story of Two Boys. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1911.

Tuesday Miss Catherine Barber, 2867 Elston avenue, testified that she had seen the policeman attack Nelson after the latter had only been slow in pulling out from the street car tracks from the front porch of her home. A full history of the case will be given next week. punished one of the girls by putting her in a dark room without supper. She didn't want us to say prayers. When Mary Hayden was playing once she kicked her. "My limbs were crooked and my knees knocked together. I told Mrs. Covington that I did not want to scrub the floor, but she made me scrub." MR. MESSER'S LETTER TO DR. GEO. C. HALL. Messrs. Rosenwald and McCormick Highly Delighted at the Showing Made at the South Side Y. M. C.A. Before the President. Dr. Geo. C. Hall, 3249 Wabash Ave., Chicago, Ill. My Dear Dr. Hall—In behalf of the officers of the Y. M. C. A. of Chicago I desire to express their hearty appreciation of the valuable service you have given in perfecting arrangements for Quinn Chapel meeting. The fine work of your Executive Committee was apparent in the complete arrangement which made the meeting such a significant success. The speakers and guests commented very favorably on the splendid type of men who were present and the smoothness with which the meeting was handled. The addresses of Rev. Callis and Rev. Bradden and yourself were most appropriate and convincing. That of Mr. Roberts introductory remarks was particularly pleasing. Again expressing my personal gratitude for your splendid and opportune leadership, I am Truly yours, L. WILBER MESSER. Gen'l Sev. WHAT'S IN A NAME? Dr. Andrew L. Smith Can Play Golf if His Name Isn't J. D. Rockefeller. Asheville, N. C., Nov. 3—Westerday, while the Defender's special correspondent was strolling along the links in the above named city, the click of a golf ball as it was struck by the golf stick and the cry of triumph from the golfer caused the reporter to wend his way nearer to the scene of activity. When, lo, and behold! out into the opening rushed Dr. Andrew L. Smith, who is now a member of Asheville's smart set and resides at 95 Hill street. The doctor, or is soon will be, making golf enthusiasts of the entire city and don't be surprised if you receive word that each house has a private golf links. SETS THANKSGIVING DAY Monday President Taft, in the temporary capital of the United States, Chicago, issued his annual Thanksgiving proclamation, calling upon citizens of the United States to celebrate Thursday, November 30, next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer. The fifth Thursday in November brings Thanksgiving day this year instead of the fourth, as usually betals. Until the administration of President Johnson the fourth Thursday was designated for the observance, regardless of whether there was a fifth Thursday in the month. THE WHEELERS ARE THE PEOPLE. If the necessity arises for the purchasing of clothing on credit allow us to recommend the firm of Wheeler and Company as one of the most reasonable in the city. Mr. Wheeler, the proprietor, is a young man it is a pleasure to meet, being intelligent and of considerable experience. He understands the many obstacles one must surmount and is lenient in every particular. So remember when in need of credit give this gentleman a MACK WILEY STILL IN JOLIET—WHY? Not Only Lawyers, But Ministers Have Robbed His Sisters Out of Over $500 Hard-Earned Money, Saying They Would Plead With Governor in His Behalf—Dr. Anna B. Scholtz Their Only Friend. "Why standeth thou afar off, O Lord? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? These are the words of David, as he made his complaints to God. These words can also be amply applied to the case of Mack Wiley, the colored youth, who in protecting his pregnant sister from the blows of an officer's billy was only able to so by taking the life of said policeman. On Halloween night in 1903 Wiley's sister, Mrs. Hattie Payne, along with some other women, were attired in men's clothing celebrating the night. The officer seeing them thought they were up to mischief because their color was black. He rushed up to Mack's sister and with out a word, struck her over the head. She cried to the police that she was innocent but he struck her again. Another officer rushed up and they held this woman till they investigated a certain place to see if damage was done. She was found innocent. When Mack's sister reached a friend's home she found her husband there. He inquired of her head the cause of the bruises on her head. She, like a faithful wife, told him the story but asked him not to question the officer for his deeds. On the return home that night they met the officer. The sister's husband went to the officer in a manly way and asked why he had struck his wife. The officer, without a word struck her husband several times and knocked him unconscious with his club. Wiley's sister begged the officer for mercy. He rushed at her, seized her by the neck and began to strike her in the ribs with his club. Mind you, Wiley's sister was pregnant and this officer was well aware of the fact. The woman yelled "help." Mack Wiley, who was three or four blocks away, heard the shouts and came immediately to his sister's aid. Upon seeing his approach, this officer drew his revolver in order to shoot Wiley. Wiley was too quick for him. He seized the hand that held the revolver at the same time inflicted three wounds in the officer's neck and head that caused his death. This is what this young man done to protect his sister. He did no more than any other brother would have done in protecting his sister. In every sense of the word he is a hero and deserves help and praise. For this deed he was given a life's imprisonment at Joliet. His sister was given from one to fourteen years. However, Governor Deneen pardoned her after she had served six years and two months. Now we feel, that as citizens of this state, that we should petition the board of pardon and Governor Deenen to give this young man consideration for his liberty as he acted manly in protecting his sister. If he had been a white boy he would have been freed long ago, but color is against him. THE FATHER OF THE 13TH AMENDMENT TO SPEAK. Washington, D. C., Nov. 3.—This city is to be especially honored by the presence of former Senator John B. Henderson of Missouri, author of the 13th Amendment; through his great ability as a speaker and propounder of facts, this noble man engineered the passage of the amendment through Congress. The celebration of its 46th anniversary will take place for the first time Dec. 18 at the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, pastor. Among those invited to be present are ex-Speaker Cannon, Wm. Jennings Bryan, President Taff, Vice President Sherman, Congressman Powers of Kentucky, Sulzer of New York and Campbell of Kansas; Senators Culom, Sutherland, Borah, Bristow and others; Dr. Booker T. Washington, Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Whitfield McKinley, Register Napier, Auditor Tyler, Assistant Attorney General Lewis, Judge Robert H. Terrell, John C. Dancy, Assistant Supt. R. C. Bruce and all of the local ministers. SAM LANGFORD IMITATES GATES. Pugilist Charters Steamer in Hurry to Catch Boat to Australia. Seattle, Nov. 3.—Sam Langford is grabbing the spotlight from Charlie Gates and others who have a pennant for hiring special trains and the like, for he has chartered a special steamer to transport him from Seattle to a point on the high seas to make connection with the Zeelandia, which steamship will get him to Australia in time to engage in some half dozen scraps that have been arranged for him. The Zeelandia leaves Vancouver for Australia some time early in the morning and to overcome this contingency the fastest of the steamers on Puget Sound has been specially chartered to rush the fighter to sea in time to make the transfer. MR. BEN JOHNSON NOT INSANE. Shot Down Because He Refused to Ride on Lower Deck of Ferryboat With Cattle and Wagons—Was Neatly Dressed and Owns Farms in Neighboring Parish. (Special Correspondent to the Chicago Defender.) New Orleans, La., Nov. 3.—The story that Ben Johnson, who was shot down Wednesday on the Algiers ferryboat was insane is untrue. I was on deck at the time and saw the whole affair. Ben Johnson, a neatly dressed property owner of this state, was sitting on the upper deck of the Algiers ferryboat among the white passengers. Several of the men went to him and ordered him down in the lower deck by dealing him several kicks. Then he resisted and drew a revolver. Some of the white men sailed an iron rod and rushed at him the second time, then Johnson fired. Several white men fell. After he emptied his gun, the crowd rushed in on him again before he could reload; he began to use his empty gun as a club, wounding them. In the midst of the fight several shots were fired into his body by the mob on board. MAJOR ARTHUR BROOKS HERE WITH PRESIDENT'S PARTY. The Recognition of the Race is Manifest in the Selection of Major Brooks as Chief "Aide" to President Taft on His Western Tour. Major Arthur Brooks, of Washington, D. C., is in the city with the President's party, at the Blackstone Hotel. Major Brooks has been for years the confidential man of the President, and is one of our foremost men and a graduate of Harvard University. THE ELITE'S $10,000 DOLLAR BUFFET. Extensive repairs are being made on that popular cafe, The "Elite," everything is being redecorated from front to back and the management is making of its buffet one of the most beautiful in the state, it is being remodeled at the cost of $10,000. And until further notice, the "aeroplane" style of waiting on the guests will be in vogue, and the effect is beautiful. The waiters are each supplied with an airship and their disappearance in them is a sight to see and then when they quietly drop, down beside you with your order, well just go and see them, "that's all." PRESIDENT TAFT AT QUINN. Last Sunday President Taft was at Quinn Chapel and spoke to 3,000 young and old men to their delight. The church was crowded to its fullest capacity and the speeches were all candid and to the point. We are sorry to state that Chicago River was made richer by our article and the speeches made by our messenger stumping his foot and losing most of our copy on the river bridge, alided with the high wind, he was unable to gather the matter up fast enough and at least a dozen articles were lost. Mr. Messers' letter was the only thing saved. MISS C. BOWEN OF MT. MEIGS ALA. IN THE CITY. Miss Cornelia Bowen of Mt. Meigs, Ala., through whose untiring energy the legislature of that state was induced to pass a bill appropriating $8,000 to the reform school for colored boys that had previously been supported by the women's state federation of clubs, and who is principal of the Mt. Meigs school, passed through our city this week after having spent three months at the sanitarium at Batt Creek, Mich. While here she was the guest of Mrs. Thomas Pearson, 3600 Wabash avenue. MR. DAY IS HIGH-TONED NOW Mr. and Mrs. Charles Day have moved from 3001 Armour avenue to their beautiful two-flat building at 6424 Vincennes avenue. While interviewing Mr. Day in his well appointed den a few days ago the Defender reporter's attention was called to two men looking up longingly toward the den window. They had been refused admittance. They were some old associates, Mose Samuels and Ed Shanklin, whom Mr. Day will not recognize hereafter. 300 AT DANCING SCHOOL. Last Wednesday evening the Colonial ancing Academy took on the hue of ten years ago when that hall was in its prime. Over three hundred ladies and gentlemen danced and drank free "frappe," furnished by the management, to their hearts' content. Several clubs were present. Next week the ladies say they are going to beat each other in their clubs. THE K. P. CHRISTMAS JUBILEE The First Regiment, Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, will give their annual Xmas ball at the Coliseum and the Annex Monday night, Dec. 25.

DR. W. F. GARNETT COOL BUT DETERMINED FOR JUSTICE For His People; He Has Retained Lawyer Ed. H.

(Special to the Chicago Defender.) Evanston, Ill., Nov. 3.—Is it fair to Evanston's thrifty substantial citizens to be put in the limelight and subjected to a scathing relentless criticism because of the rashness of an insignificant person who to us is practically unknown, whose only reason for living here is that he has found a lawyer and all are prospering. The relations between the whites and the colored are pleasant—not the least bit of friction between them is in evidence. The colored people seem to have a property acquiring fever. There seems to be generally on every hand splendid evidences of race prosperity. They present. Dr. W. F. Garnett, Dentist, Who Denies the Assertion That He Will Not Push Theater Suit. soft job in a white private family, and when they tire of him all he has to do is to pack his carpet bag, board a train and the chances are that he will not find it necessary to say good-bye before departing—this is John Guy, the man who wrote the article for the Chicago Defender entitled "Jim-crowmish" in a restaurant. Mr. John Guy, who during his residence in our fair city has never been identified with any of our institutions, has never been guilty of an act that commands him to the respect and confidence of the people, and has no interest here outside of a job. Mr. William T. Mason, the man whom Mr. Guy accuses of segregating the patrons who frequent his restaurant came to Evanston less than twelve years ago penniless, but by dint of hard work, self-denial and honesty of purpose has made of himself one of the most prominent men of our city. He devoted his attention to the development of his business with rare business insight, he purchased real estate in the center of the business district of our city upon which he has erected a magnificent building which he now occupies. His credit at the banks is A No. 1, his character is above reproach and his life is a splendid example of thrift rewarded by prosperity. He is interested in every movement that has to do with the well being and uplift of the people. His restaurant here in Evanston is by far the best of any owned and operated by a member of the race, in this part of the country and all the people in the middle west should be proud of it. This is the individual that John Guy says discriminates against his own color—but in plain blunt words Mr. Mason says that no man thinks more of his people than himself—and that he does not discriminate. That you may know that there are enough thoughtful and conservative citizen to properly handle situations of this kind, I might say that Evanston has a population of 30,000, about 3,000 of whom are colored. I challenge any community of colored people to show such a wonderful example of thrift. Out of a possible 375 families more than 140 own or are buying their own homes. They are paying taxes on more than $350,000 worth of property. They are engaged in various kinds of business—the largest livery stable in this city is owned by a colored man, and the three best restaurants in the town are operated by colored men. One man is steward of two of the finest social clubs on the North Shore. In addition, we have two physicians, one dentist and one MONIANS SPEAK OF THEIR LETHARGY Has Never Drawn the Color Line in How Townsmen Are Ready to Giant—Taking Due Delib-ter They Now Speak at Heads Have at Down.

The relations between the whites and the colored are pleasant—not the least bit of friction between them is in evidence. The colored people seem to have a property acquiring fever. There seems to be generally on every hand splendid evidences of race prosperity. They never were in a better condition to defend their rights and insist upon having them as they are today. So it can be readily understood that there are enough responsible, thoughtful and conservative persons to amply handle any situation that is presented. Had this restaurant matter been as serious as the young man would have you think, the matter would have been taken up with Mr. Mason by representative citizens and no doubt amicably settled. But this young man and his advisers evidently decided that the affair was so grave and disastrous that it needed summary correction and that the right way to correct it was to rush into print, call the attention first of all to the colored people in the state of Illinois to the matter; not satisfied with that, bring the article intact as published in the Defender to a white paper here in Evanston and have it copied verbatim. No investigation is made as regarding facts. The Evanston white paper gives the article first page prominence and credits the Chicago colored paper with the original. By this time the colored people here found themselves "all messed up." The situation reminded me of some spiteworker, dragging the putrid carcass of a dead animal into your front yard and looking from behind a sheltering fence while you shelter from whence the stench eminates. This same young man rushed into print a few days later by threatening to sue an Evanston theater for attempting to "jim-crow" him. Since the happening of that incident, we have A. B. Attorney John R. Auter. learned that his white boss advised him to "slow up" on his theater suit and that he is now as quiet and gentle as a little lamb. So finally the Evanston colored people have received a lot of unwelcome, unnecessary notoriety and an avalanche of embarrassment through irresponsible, unreliable and officious persons and they are thoroughly tired of it. Before writing this article, I discussed the matter with many of the leading men of our city and they agree with the sentiment herein expressed. They say they cannot understand what good can come from airing our soiled linen before the public. They further say that they invite investigation of all matters affecting our well being before we are precipitously hurled into the limelight of newspaper publicity. Respectfully submitted: Dr. W. F.

Hill of 2nd Baptist church, was most wonderfully sur- prised last Sunday morning by a Har- vest Home festival which was do- nated him by his members and friends, As he entered his church he found the majority of the congregation pres- ent and the chofr singing “Labor on." He was so surprised that bis large eyes grew larger and still larger. This 4s his second year with his congre- gation, The B. ¥. P. U. of the second Bap- tist church rendered a program last Sunday evening. Miss Meda Allen was one on the program, the subject of her paper being “Character,” which read as follows: “A good name is rather to be chosen than riches, and loving favor rather than silver'and gold.” Prov. 23:1. Men will work night and day, loose sleep and even health in order to gain a reputation or to get money and meanwhile forget the sustenance of their character. There is no heigh: 2co tall, no depth too low, no breadth too broad, nor circle wide that a man of ambition will not strive to gain for a reputation. But after all this endeay- or it finally comes to naught. But a character will remain for ever. The main object in life that every per- son showkl strive to maintain is a character rather than a reputation. What constitutes a good name? Ist, a hope fn Christ and a biessed hope in a new life after death. What is prized in this world more preciously than gold or silver? Nothing. Men will strive with all of their strength, mind and soul for gold and silver, and many will even lose their soul, sell their character and betray their dear- est friends for gold or silver, and even at the treacherous Judas, will try to sell their own Saviour tor a small amount of silver. Reputation Is what men think you to be, but charac- ter fs what God knows you to be and what you really ate. Therefore, we sbould all endeavor to gain a charac- ter in preference to a reputation.” Master Lesley and Cleo Bryant en- tertained a few of their little friends Hallowe'en evening while Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Bryant entertained the parents of the children, SKILLFUL OPERATION PER. FORMED. Surgeons at County Hospital Success- fully Repeat Famous Operation of Dr. D. H.

Albrecht, a Resident of New York, Becomes an. Expert Blacksmith. New York.—Woman has crossed tho last frontier of man’s trades. Mrs. Anna M. Albrecht of this city ts the successful Invader, having won the distinction of being the only woman blacksralth in New York elty and pos- albly the ploneer of American women in that trade. Mrs, Albrecht 1s a sturdy woman of 35, the mother of three children and the chiet ald and assistant of her hus: band in bis smithy. Sho can heat rivets, set wheel bands, straighten - Sa i RE Ph 4a i>. aria ~ Spokes and set shoes with the skill and strength of any Vulcan. Mrs. Albrecht has been a black. smith for two years. Sho cama to tho ald of her husband when he was un. able to accomplish all the work that he had to do and yet could not afford the pay of an assistant, Mrs, Al- brecht, although new to the work, caught the trick of It so well that many of her husband's customers have insisted that she do the fobs they bring. For this reason she remains in the smithy, although, wh her ald, Albrecht has prospered so well that ‘he now employs two assistant black- smiths and wagon repairers. She used to be in the shop from eafly morning till sunset, but now she passes only a few hours there every day. Mrs. Albrecht does not regard her trade as unusual for a woman. “It seemed the only thing to do,” she said. “My husband needed help and 80 T helped him. I used to notice peo- ple stopping to watch me as they pass- ed, but I soon forgot I was attracting attention. There’s no reason in the world why women shouldn't be black- smiths {f they're strong enough to wield the tools. There's no more skill required for it than for a good many tasks {n housework, and practice makes perfect, you know.” ‘The woman blacksmith’s costume {s not at all indicative of her amazonic profession. At the anvil Mrs. Albrecht wears an old dark short skirt and a gingham dressing sacque with a low, frilled collar and sleeves cut off above the elbow. Her forearms are well de- veloped through her use of the heavy tools. She says that she Ilkea tho work and that she will continue at it as long as there is a demand for her sereiaes..

Now She Has to Pay Him 25 Cente for a Print Each Time Her Best Beau ts to Call, and Youth Rejolces. Perhaps the orneriest, meanest small boy extant lives in New York. This boy's sister, who 1s of marriage- able age, gave him a cheap camera for his birthday recently. The boy used his camera for legitimate purposes for a few duys, but that way of using the machine (nally palled upon him and be thought up a scheme. He waited until his sister got her- self rigged out for her share of the work in the weekly housecleaning. Then, unbeknownst to her, he took a fulltength snapshot of her just as she was. ‘The young woman Is pretty and decidedly winsome looking, but this negative, taken of her by her small brother, shows her standing with a broom in her hand, clad in a fooze, voluminous, ornate calico wrap- per, with a towel tied around her bead and with her cusl-papered pair, giving her the appearance of a beetle. ‘The boy developed the negative and made a print of it. When be showed It to his sister she thouglit it was rather funny, not suspecting the “edge” which the negative gave the small boy over her. “He's a-comin’ tonight, ain't he?” said the small boy after showing als sister the print. “He? Who? Mind your own bust- ness, Kid!" said the sister after the manner of sisters thus addressed by younger brothers in such connections. “He's a-comin’ tonight,” repeated the small boy. “How much do you Give me for the picture of you?” ‘Then she saw the connection. “Why, you little incorrigible!" she sald, “what do you—" “Gimme a qvarter and 1 won't show It to him," said the boy in a business: lke tone, And he stood pat, Expostulations and pleadings didn't go. He held out for his terms, which were 25 cents, payable in advance, no more, no less. ‘She promptly tore it up and put tt In the fire. But the boy still had the negative hidden away, and on (he very next occasion when his sister's young man was due to call in the evening be sprang another print from the nega- tive upon her. He got another quar- ter for the surreiider of this print, too. He knows a good thing when he bas got It, does this extraordinarily mean, small boy, and he bas been flashing one of the prints from the Oegative upon his sister every night upon wheth her may-be youth Is due for a visit. She has offered him $1 for the negative, but the boy prefers to draw interest instead of sacrificing his principal, and be retains posses: sion of the negative up to the hour of going to press, Cure That Failed. The story recently published in a southern newspaper, to the effect that an ignorant negress had given her Mttle girl a mixture ot dog's blood and powdered bone to cure her of a fever, recalls an Indian prescription contained in an old volume entitled “Priraltive Superstitions.” Au indinn bad been desperatety TWurt in a fight with a grizzly bear, and the medicine man prescribed a mixture of rattlesnakes’ heads, worn- out moccasins and chewing tobacco, seasoned with pepper and bear's grease, of whieh tle patient was to drink a pint every half hour. “He was a brave man," says the story, “but be died with tho utmost expedi: tion.” “Tho members of the tribe agreed that the remedy was taultiess, and that death was due to the tact that the medicine man bad fated to dar tame It shud be sdimlututerea to the accompaniment of a dance and 8 yell.

When they came to the spot where kings and queens Ile, Queen Victoria shivered a little and sald: “I should not care to be burled here—it seems so cold and damp.” “Madam,” replied Duckworth, “I as- sure you it is perfectly dry. You would be quite nice and snug." It strikes a mere American that the queen's part of this interview shows more humor than the reverend can- on's, But Victoria's sense of humor was Teutonic.

We know tho condition of the Ne Bro race in this country, We know that to rise from bondage, peonaze and the degrading evils accompanying such conditions, we must select as models not the ‘idle rich, nor the Ig norant poor, but those splendid people Whose daily lives are worth while. ‘These thoughts were called forth by the announcement that a certain dane ing school would have “a Sunday even ing school like the Germans and other foreign people.” Now why should ow best young Negroes wish to imitatc the class of Germans and other for elgners who frequent public dance halls on Sunday evenings? ‘Why not follow after those foreign ers who work by day and study by night, spend all their leisure moments in reading rooms and public libraries SSSR Se esa Saeco PS gecilee seat ek ae BS oh ea POA i a ae | PT i Se a ee ae OE oR CRE aD MM RE Se eR ee ee | See TRIE 21 ged Pie | SECS IUY AC Oo Naeem ee cA oe a 6 ee aaa ie es) ph aan Es aaa od ‘ a oe eel i ran eee We OReniae Rana, TekaR: in order that they may speedily be- come political and financial bosses in this country?

NOTHING NEW FOR THE ‘TRIBUNE. A contributor to our news columns last. week was very much surprised at the lack of respect that the Chi. cago Tribune displayed toward the race by designating them by the hate: ful terms of “Negress and Black Mam- my.” ete,, but it is no new trait with this newspaper whose owners never had a thing for the people of color to do even in their homes. During tho active service of the late “Raymond,” a special correspon- dont for this Journal, that splendid writer never ran amuek except when he wrote about the Negro. On one occasion when covering the South in the interest of his paper he declared that “the greatest ambition of the working men was the possession of a pair of Wagoner pants and a red bandana — handkerchief.” Cireum- stances compelled the Tribune to meet the popular demand in price and per. haps circumstances will teach it con: cerning the proper manner in which to speak of ten millions of Joyal American citizens.

As a matter of fact the history of reverses In business might ‘be summed up in two words, “Lost Opportunity.” Dally we hear the cry, “If I bad only taken hold at the time.” But when fate knocked at kis door no one ‘opened. Im such cases the man who was asleep wakes up to the realization of the chanco that has passed. There is Ro one who has not had the chance to climb higher some time or other. But when the psychological moment ar- rived he was not allve to the tssue Contrary to the general bellet, a ‘man Is not confronted once, but many Umes. with possibilities for better things.

Early Struggles of Dr. Anna Shaw, Head of the Suffrage Association, Who Won Success Against Many Discouragements. Boston, Mass.—One of the ablest leaders connected with the woman suffrage movement in the United States is Dr. Anna Shaw, president of the National Suffrage association. She started for Alibon college, in Michigan, with just $18 in her pocket. She had earned that $18 by teaching school at $1 a week, and after she had earned it she had to wait one year for the dog tax to be collected to get her pay. Dr. Shaw was born in England, like those other pioneers of the suffrage movement, the blackwells. But her parents took her into Michigan 52 years ago, when she was eight, having stopped four years in Massachusetts on the way. They traveled days and days in an old-fashioned prairie schooner to reach their destination. Then they lived in a log cabin. The cabin was papered with spare copies of Horace Greeley's paper, and Anna learned to read from the paper on the walls, beginning with the big letters in the advertisements and progressing to the editorials. When she got that far she could read almost anything, much to her father's disgust. Miss Shaw spent tour years in college and another four in the theological and medical schools of Houston university. Her people were deeply exposed to the whole plan and told DR. ANNE SHELL her they could do nothing whatever to help her. During that eight years she had only $91 that she did not earn. She lived in an attic without any fire—in a Boston winter. She studied in bed to keep warm, her breath making frosty clouds upon the air. She had not food enough to satisfy hunger. She had not clothes enough to keep warm. Her stockings showed through holes in her shoes. She supported herself throughout the entire course by preaching and lecturing. But so many places did not pay her anything that she could average only $3.50 a week. One day she was sitting on the stairs. She had sat down because she felt too weak to get to the top. A woman whom she knew slightly came along and asked her why she was sitting on the stairs. When she found out she went away and borrowed $91 from another woman and gave it to Miss Shaw with the proviso that she was never to know from whom it came. That was the only help she had through her course. She repaid the money after she was graduated and never knew who lent it. But about this time she acquired the warm friendship of Mrs. Persis Addy, a widow. During the final year of her course Mrs. Addy took her into her home, and though the student paid the same board she had been paying, she had for it the comforts of a good home and the devoted care of Mrs. Addy. Mrs. Addy had planned to go to Europe and take Miss Shaw with her as soon as the latter should have finished her course. She died just before commencement, but in her will left Miss Shaw $1,500 for the specified purpose of taking a European trip. When she was planning this journey Mrs. Addy's father said to her: "Now, you will spend that money and it will be gone forever. Instead of cash, let me give you two bonds worth $1,500 Then I will keep the bonds for security and lend you $1,500 on them. When you get to work you can repay me as convenient, and when it is all paid the bonds will be yours again." She did this, and having acquired a certain sentiment about the matter, has done the same ever since. She has left the bonds on deposit and let the interest accumulate, and they have paid the actual traveling expenses of her three trips to Europe. Miss Shaw took the medical course because during her theological course she did missionary work in Boston. She found, to use her own words, that she "had nothing the people wanted." They did not want either her theology or her gospel. They wanted help in their material lives. She took the medical course in order that she might give them free medical treatment. It was as a missionary doctor and preacher in the slums of Boston that Miss Shaw became convinced that there were certain defects in an all male government which called for political power in the hands of women.

THE HOSPITAL PRIDE OF THE RACE. Annual Report Shows Varied Work Done by Our Physicians and Nurses. Needs of the Provident Hospital and Training School are set forth in the annual report of that institution, together with a report of the varied work being carried on there. The report, which is being mailed to the institutions and individuals who have contributed to the support of the hospital, says that it hopes in the near future to become self supporting. Meanwhile, $3,000 is needed to pay for certain necessary improvements as well as an equal sum to meet the current deficiency up to date. The "milk laboratory," which is supported by the woman's board of the hospital, is described as the means of saving many lives of infants in the vicinity of the institution. The children's tent, which is erected on the roof of the hospital, also is credited with being one of the most successful features of the work being carried on there. THE BATTLE OF LAKE ERIE, A painting in oil, representing the "Battle of Lake Erie," is on exhibition in the window of the Y. M. C. A. The battle occurred Sept. 10, 1813, and the colored sailors fought so well that all historians praise them. The flag ship "Lawrence" stood the fire of four English vessels until so many men were killed that Commodore Perry called out, "Can any of the wounded pull a rope?" Then several mangled sailors crawled on deck to do what they could and some colored sailors were so anxious for victory that they entreated Commander Perry to "throw us wounded overboard lest we be in your way." The painting is by Mr. Robert Jackson and tells the story in beautiful colors. The Centennial celebration of the "Battle of Lake Erie" will be in 1913, and it is fitting that we show our interest in respect for our heroes who helped win that great victory. ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE. William T. Lewis, the well-known automobilist, was talking lately about the 25,000-mile automobile trip he had just made in Europe. "One sees Europe in an automobile," he said. "One really sees it. Some tourists don't, you know. "Once, in Florence, I was standing on the bridge over the Arno, drinking in the beauty of the old Italian city, when a half-dozen American tourists drew near at a quick walk. "They hurried by me, every now and then consulting their watches, and, as they passed, I overheard this conversation: "Well, Florence is all right, sure!" "Florence? "Why, yes! This is Florence, ain't it? "Of course not. This is Venice." "Oh, go on! It's Monday, anyhow, and Monday's Florence; Wednesday's Venice." The Locality of Chicago. A traveling salesman out of Chicago was in Lexington, Ky., recently and had to talk over the telephone to one of his customers in a neighboring town. When he had completed the conversation he asked the demure little operator how much the charges were, and she replied: "Thirty cents." At this the C.T.S. irately declared that in Chicago one could talk to hell and back for 20 cents. The operator quietly replied: "Yes, but this is a long-distance call."—Everybody's Magazine.

In no way will it profit a person to deal at a certain store because one's parents before them were customers there; times change and customers also, the men in control may have grown grouchy, maybe their views less liberal and their honesty questionable. The same rule applies to the momentous question of politics. No man should hug his breast any principle, no matter if his father or his father's father swore by it. Let your intelligence penetrate deeper than the mere fact a certain bridge carried your foreparts over, as you might find on close inspection a dangerous, rotten board in the bridge, that would not support you if you trot on it. In many places the "Republican bridge" is rotten and will let you down sure. Of course, the construction of the bridge was at one time perfectly safe, but worms such as Marcus Kavannag, Hugo Pam and Edward A. Dicker have crept into the wood and as far as support for the race is concerned, beware, for you are treading on dangerous ground! What matter if the men who will stand by you are in the Republican or the Democratic party so long as they 39 HON. DANIEL L. CRUICE.

The Defender Hopes its Readers Will Give Him a Heavy Vote. deliver the goods, and surely it is right that we vote for the ones who will give us a chance, not those who do favors or make promises with an eye single to their own interests. Several names now up for the primary election on the Democratic ticket are those of men who assisted us to the best of their ability to make Lawyer F. L. Barnett a judge in the Municipal Court. "Tis true our cause was defeated, but John Coburn, Daniel L. Cruice and Walter M. Stanton stand today willing and prepared to fight the same battle of "right against might" when again called on. It surely would be a credit and an advantage to have one of our own race on the bench of judges. Then is it not policy to support those who will support us? Class and creed must be put aside and only the interest, loyalty and energy in the individual up for nomination should have any weight with the voters. As it is, the man behind the gun that does the work and in politics it is the man in the position and not the ticket he is on. Daniel L. Cruice, who is a candidate for judge of the Superior Court, bears a record bespeaking in its every phrase, clean handling, undaunted energy and an exceptional amount of broad-minded friendship for all the laboring people, firmly believing in labor organization, not of creeds, classes nor races, but an organizing of all laborers, fair play and complete obiteration of side issues. Let us once again urge one and all to take any required precaution in order that a step taken hurriedly because of sentiment or worthless promises may not in the years that follow cause us to repent in "sackcloth and ashes." THE VOLUNTEER WORKERS' CLUB FOR CHARITY. Mrs. Clara Johnson, President, Mrs. M. Walton, Secretary. The Volunteer Workers' club meet this week at the home of Mrs. Laura Keith, 41 West 47th street. We had an excellent meeting and the hostess served a very appetizing luncheon. The Volunteers wish to thank their many friends for their assistance in making their recent bazaar a success. The amount cleared so far from the bazaar is $159.82. The baby contest netted $66.50, the most popular baby being Master William R. Davis, $20; second, Laura Elligan, $19.40; third, Eloise Parish, $12.50. Master Davis received a silver cup, little Miss Elligan a silver spoon, and little Miss Parish a gold ring. The other babies in the contest were Vera Baker, $7.05; Junita Fowler, $5.50, and Edward Powell, $2. The first prize for selling tickets (a handsome hand painted plaque) was won by Mrs. L. H. Webster, who raised $20.50. The second prize, a hand painted cream pitcher and sugar bowl, Mrs. A. E. Whitlow, $10. Mrs. T. T. Tivis drew the lucky number for the doll. Mrs. Lightfoot drew the dainty skirt. The club will meet Wednesday, Nov. 8, at Mrs. Emma Stewart's, 5434 Normal avenue.

A large congregation was present. Differing Terms for Color The language of money differs in different parts of the United States. On the Pacific coast the usual term for a quarter dollar is two bits. In the rural communities of New York and New England the people still talk of shillings, referring to the old colonial coin of twenty and a half cents. Use Brass Rings. In making a shoe bag or laundry bag that is to hang flat against the door, use brass rings instead of loops for slipping over the nails. They will not pull out as the loops may.

Yet lawn tennis 1s an athletic game, perhaps the most active of all sum- mer pastimes, demanding unusual pow- ‘ors of endurance, and one looks for endurance and agility 1n the young. Finding that the daring and physical strength of youth are beaten by the experience of age, the conclusion to ve drawn {s that the new generation Js not learning the essentials of tho game. The group of veterans who beat the youngsters this year cannot be expected to do these wonders again. Young men from other coun- tries will come again and they will win because there will be no oppost- tion to prevent them from doing so. And why? Because, some critics say, ie continent fas learned the game from professionals and bas learned it upon hard courts ‘There fs a freedom and power tn the foreign style which 1a absent from the English game, In which few risks are taken. In all’ probability this springs trom the fact that the typical courts of the continent are not grass, but have a hard, smooth surtace ‘from whieb every ball makes a true bound. Scarcely one grass court in ten can be relied upon for a true bound of the ball, On such inferior surfaces style becomes cramped. First-ctass players are not to be trained upon third rate courts, ‘The best promise for English tawn tennis ts the fact that the clubs are losing thelr faith in grass. In 20 years’ time the very namo of lawn tennis may appear strange to our ears, te number of actual lawns de- voted to the game will nave become so small. Already hard courts are be- ing constructed in every direction.

One Saturday afternoon he had been Watehing with great Interest the bril- Mant play of Bernard Dell, the well- Known athlete of Princeton Univer- sity. The game over, he asked Mr. Dell to play a single with him on the morrow. “Sorry,” sald Mr. Dell, “but I never play games on Sundays.” “But I ask you,” insisted the prince. “Sorry again,” replied Mr. Dell, “but I cannot go agatnst my religious pria- clples—not oven for york" Well, this was a situation with which the prince had never had to cone before in the whole course of hia Ufe, for when royalty says “I ask" it menns nothing else but “I command” and here was a person who refused to be commanded. There was nothing he could do so “he done it.” but it was @ wrathy young prince who strode away fram the firm-Jawed American. Not long after that most astonish ing experience Prince Adelbert, In- tending to give a dinner to some of the German nobility passing through 2 ee pa NY hig ig eee crc a Ree AE a re a PN SG ee Piides Adabeee the resort, suddenly made up bis mind that his American friends should be his guests as well and, forthwith, he walked to the tennis courts and “asked” all of them. Now {t happen- eg that a Philadelphia girl was also to give a party on the day the royal Germans were to be in the place and, as the prince knew, the Americans were to be her guests. So when the invitation to attend his dinner was given the Americans politely declined ft, saying that they “would not dlsap- point Miss Blank for worlds.” Then they rest'med thelr game as if noth- ing had happened. The prince was astounded. Could it be possible that any one should dare to turn down a Jagt-minute Invitation tssued by one of royal blood? That ordiparliy un- (ited human beings should not be willing, yea, should not jump at tho chance to cancel any other engage- ment for the honor of’sitting at bis table was most amazing. But what could he do about ft? Nothing, obvi- ously. He tried to work off a litle of bis indignation by giving out the state- ment that we were rude and unman- nerly, but the Americans, who had treated him quite as if he were a somewbat too haughty young society ‘man, didn’t seem to mind greatly. European society. however, 1s much excited over the affair, one section sid- ing with the prince, maintaining that the fnvitation of a member of a reign- Ing house should be regarded as a royal command by everybody, without distinction of nationality; while on the other hand, all the Americans and a great many Europeans are taking tho part of Mr. Dell and the girl, argu- fog that they were not Impolite and only neted quite as sensible young Americans should. Prince Adelbert, who, like the rest of the Kaiser's sons, fs rather prepos- sessing in appearance and manner, was married three years ago to his cousin, Princess Victoria of Schies- wig-Sonderburg.

LITTLE GIRL STYLES CHARMING NEW DESIGNS FOR THE LITTLE FOLKS. Not Difficult to Find Becoming Garments for Young Folks This Season—Hats Were Never More Charming. It is not going to be a difficult matter this season to find pretty and becoming garments for the little folks. In fact, so charming are the new designs that mother's only difficulty will be in making up her mind which is the most fetching. The newest of these little garments are cut on lines very much resembling the models planned for older people, and while the children may appear very quiet in their little tunics and surplice bodices, we must take care they do not seem too grown up. The shawl collar is a fashion which mother may adopt for the little girl with impunity, for this is a becoming and glirlish style. The same may be said of the hood effect and the sailor collar. Any of these, when used on the sensible coat of double-faced material, is suitable and becoming. In fact, the heavy material is used extensively for winter wraps for the little folks, velvets and broadcloths betug selected only where the child may have more than one warm outdoor garment. The sensible fashion of wearing wash frocks all the year round is rapidly increasing, especially for young children, and the shops are getting out new designs in both white and colored cottonts, while dainty lawns and sheer fabrics are used for the smaller tots. Reps, fitens and plques are most desirable for older girls, with tailored ginghams and percals for the schoolroom. If mother desires something warmer there is the regulation dress of cashmore, chalis or serge. These made in Russian style or with a surplice are charming. For parties and very dress-up occasions some chiffons and nets are used, though nothing can be in better taste than fine white lawn trimmed simply with a bit of hand embroidery, though the machine decoration has become so perfected that if mother has not the time nor the money to supply the sort done by hand, this may be chosen with the knowledge that it is equally good. Hats for the little folks were never more charming. Beaver, soft felt and plush are all used, while velvet and satin are made up over quaint shapes into stunning little creations. The trimmings are smart ribbon bows, or in some cases wings or fancy bands, but always the tailored appearance predominates. This is especially the case when the hat is made of the same material as the coat, a fad which bids fair to grow, and a very becoming and attractive style it has proven.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Now Aim to Make the Panama Canal Pay Given Flapjacks Instead of Chicken Rangers Exterminate Predatory Beasts Wants Pension Office Beauty Restored Wants Pension Office Beauty Restored I CAN ALSO SELL YOU ALL KINDS OF SUPPLIES - OIL, COAL, ETC. WASHINGTON—Foreshadowing the practical completion of the Panama canal by July 1, 1913, the isthmian canal commission, in its annual report, recommends congressional legislation governing canal tolls, organization for the operation of the canal and for government of the canal zone, utilization of canal revenue to pay operating expenses and to repay the capital invested, and other action. Expedition was urgently demanded in order to advise the commercial world of the use it may make of the great waterway, of the cost of sending ships through it and just when it will be opened. The commission wished to give at least eighteen months' notice of the rates to permit the world's maritime interests time to readjust their routes and to build new ships and organize new transportation companies. It was also deemed desirable to put the canal to use as early as possible, not only to secure financial returns on the enormous capital invested, but to No more chicken in the army, turkey twice a year—Thanksgiving and Christmas—and "flap jacks" instead of "hard tack," sum up the important changes in the army ration for the American soldier made during the past year, according to the report of Commissary General Henry G. Sharpe. The elimination of chicken has resulted in a yearly saving to the government of $25,000. The poor soldiers now have to worry along on beef, pork, mutton, bacon, eggs and fish. It cost the United States 16.14 cents a day more to feed the American soldier in Alaska than it did those stationed in the United States. This is declared due principally to the cost of beef and its transportation to the isolated posts in the territory. The daily average cost of the raions issued during the year in the United States alone was 22.75 cents; Alaska, 38.89 cents; Hawaii, 24.10 cents; Porto Rico, 28.72 cents; aboard transports, 23.52 cents; American soldiers in the Philippines, 24.56 cents, and the native soldiers in the Philippines, 14.57. Even the Philippines islands shows a greater average cost per diem per man. The report shows the average cost per year per man in the United States to be $105.96, and in the Philippines, $114.21. It is interesting to note, the report ONE of the duties of Uncle Sam's forest rangers is to kill "varmints" that destroy cattle, sheep and other domestic animals. In the western states, where bears, mountain lions, wolves, coyotes, wildcats and lynxes are plentiful, the annual damage from wild beasts runs into millions. Last year forest rangers killed 7,971 destructive animals. The reports, just out, show that 213 bears, 88 mountain lions, 172 wolves, 69 wolf pups, 6,487 coyotes, 870 wildcats and 72 lynxes fell before the rangers' guns. In addition to their efforts after animals that are harmful to live stock and to game animals and birds, forest officers have made headway against the prairie dog, which eats one thirty-second as much as a sheep. The biological survey estimates that one grown wolf will destroy about $1,000 worth of stock a year, and that the average family of wolves PENSION COMMISSIONER JAMES L. DAVENPORT has an eye to the artistic, and as much as it is possible for that genial gentleman to be disgruntled, is mighty grieved over the fact that the pension office does not look as pretty as it ought to, and nothing like as pretty as it might. Commissioner Davenport says that the pension office ought to be one of the show places in Washington, and there was a time when this was true. Now it is half-filled up with the desks, file and literature of the Indian office, which really isn't any business. In fact, the great court of the pension office, which until the new government print office was constructed was th make possible the passage of the world's fleets without confusion or delay. The report showed that the engineers' board has already found that all the concrete in the great Gatun locks will be laid by June 1, 1912, and five months later the locks on the Pacific side will be finished, except the gates, which will be ready June 1, 1913. Menitime by April 1, next, the giant spillway at Gatun would be at the fifty-foot elevation and the entire dam there would be completed by the following winter. The excavation through the Culebra cut, the greatest earth-digging enterprise the world has ever seen, will be complete July 1, 1913, if the slides are not in excess of the estimates. In that case the exterior channel will be sufficiently advanced to pass the shipping that would use the canal. The total outlay for maintaining the canal will be for wages of the operative force, engineering work, sanitation and civil administration. The commission was insistent that the revenue of the canal should go to pay not only the operating expenses, but to repay the capital invested. Every legitimate means for raising revenue should be adopted, said the report, which recommended that the government should not only supply coal and oil for its own vessels, but should sell them to merchant shipping. says, that out of a total of $11,864,894 spent during the year for subsistence, only four-fifths of 1 per cent., or $56,906, is accredited to losses from such causes as ordinary wastage in issue and transportation, deterioration from climatic causes, theft and property worn out. The experimental farm conducted by the subsistence department at Camp Vicars, P. L., for the purpose of determining whether potatoes could be successfully raised in the Philippines has proved the uneasability of such a project. Although the conditions were exceedingly favorable when the plants first came up, the report admits, blight invaded the farm, and while the yield averaged twenty-two bushels to an acre, only fourteen of these were found fit for consumption. While the results are declared to have been a great disappointment, the commissary general feels that the ex-figure of time and funds was well rendered. will get at least $3,000 worth. The stock killed by wolves is principally cattle. Calves and yearlings are generally selected by them for slaughter, but if these cannot be readily had, cows and even full-grown steers are killed. It is said by stockmen that wolves in Wyoming kill from 10 to 20 percent, of the annual increase of the herds. In some sections of Montana they are just as bad. "The problem of the extermination of predatory animals," said John A. Rhodes, a guard of the forest service, "is one that calls for determined and persistent labor along lines that are practical, at the hands of men who are accustomed to the country, thoroughly understand the habits of the wild animals and are familiar with the means of their extermination. "Where hunters are employed, the use of poison as a means of extermination stands first. Its advantage lies in the ease and rapidity with which it can be handled. Where the labor of a half a dozen men would be required in setting and watching a line of traps, one man could easily cover the same country with poison. The greater the number of bats the greater the chances for killing." THAT IS WHAT I CALL THE LIMIT! with the rows of handsomely ornamented balconies on the court. In the center of the court is a beautiful fountain, and it used to be that exquisite little models, of the Monitor and the Merrimac, chased each other around and around in this fountain. There are a number of wonderful columns of bristle covered over and painted to resemble a river. :: QUAINT STAND FOR FERNS Can Be Made In Any Size, but Is Most Successful When It Is Made Small. The novel and quantit little fern stands, of which we give a sketch, can be made in almost any size, but they are perhaps most successful when made quite small. They merely consist of a rough circular piece of wood with the bark left on, hollowed out at one end, and then covered outside entirely ```markdown ``` with gold paint. The space cut away in the wood should be large enough to receive the whole pot of the fern, the upper part of which can be covered with moss or the mold and fern can be turned out of the pot, and planted in the hollowed-out wood, as little ferns really thrive better if planted in undrained pots. Suitable pieces of wood from which to make these stands will most probably be found ready to hand at home in the shape of logs for the fire. Little flower stands can be made in exactly the same manner, and a small glass tube for water fitted into the wood. They should, of course, be of rather a different shape, and the sketch on the right-hand side illustrates this. ABOUT THE SEASON'S SLEEVE Styles Are Many and Varied, But All Are Something on Peasant. ant Order. Whether the kimona sleeve will hold its own this winter, time alone will tell. Paris herself has not decided and while many and varied styles of sleeves are shown in the new designs, they are all something on the peasant order. One important house shows sleeves cut on kimona lines, but separate from the bodice. The advantage of this is evident in the increased comfort of the blouse. Another modiste of equal importance cuts the upper part of the sleeve with the bodice, making the lower part separate and of different material, while it remains for a third to give us the gauntlet sleeve. This is cut with fullness at the elbow, from which point the sleeve is made to fit the forearm and extended at the wrist with deep pointed frills of chiffon, which fall over the hand. The lower half of a sleeve of this kind is of material like the yoke or gulpe. In coats and evening wraps the popularity of the khlona appearance is given, though the sleeve may be cut separately, while even the regulation mannish sleeve is made slightly fuller. On evening wraps and auto coats the kimono or peasant sleeve is used in its original form, as a rule, though extreme models have the shoulder line elongated and the loose sleeve set in, while the cuffs are deep and of material matching the wide revers with which these coats are generally trimmed. A Helpful Hint. Bamboo canes make excellent stair rods—just ordinary canes costing one penny each. Cut these the required length and enamel them to match the carpet. Not only do they make cheap rods, but they do not require constant polishing, as the brass ones do, and the housewife knows how much time this will save in the keeping of her hall and stair. The bamboo rods are as durable as they are cheap, but they look much better enameled than left the natural color, which soils quickly and is difficult to clean. English blazers fairly scream at one from the shop windows. The spectrum seems to have been searched for brilliant shades to contribute to their brilliancy. White with robin's egg blue stripes an inch in width, blue with hunter's green and any other color, or combination of colors guaranteed to momentarily blind the eyes are being sought. Hairdressing Styles The ringlet styles of the sixties, the fashions of the grandmothers of this day and age, are now the leading effect in hairdressing, says the Drygoods Economist. In place of the pompadour the French hairdresser today sells the false front parted at the left side, either waved or with ringlets; for the back switch for colling, a curly knot or one of the new fashioned caltous, with self strands of wavy hair to be arranged in swirls, is used. All hairdressing tends to make the head appear small, and ornaments usually take the form of ornamental bands. Many of these are worn very low on the forehead, draggin the hair to the temples and shinny the curls down about. E. JACKSON.
