Henry Ulrich, Who Wantonly Assaulted the Distinguished Principal of Tuskegee Institute, Acquitted by New York Court. ACQUITTAL NOT UNANIMOUS JUSTICE O'KEEFE DISSENTS. New York, Nov. 10—Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala., on Nov. 6, failed to obtain satisfaction at law for the beating which he received at the hands of Henry A. Ulrich, a white man, Sunday evening, March 19, last. Ulrich was acquitted in the Court of Special Sessions this afternoon of the charge of assault which Dr. Washington had preferred against him. Laid Up at Hospital. After the fight, which started in the vestibule of an apartment house where Ulrich lived at $11\%$ East Xixth-third street, Dr. Washington was laid up at the hospital for several days with his right ear torn, his scalp cut and his face severely bruised. Provocations which the defense attempted to show were based mainly on the testimony of Ulrich, who declared that he found Dr. Washington peeping into the keyhole of his apartment and also the one opposite, and that Dr. Washington struck the first blow; also the story of Mrs. Laura Alvarez, with whom Ulrich boarded, who swore that when she passed Dr. Washington he said to her: "Hello, sweetheart." **Requestor Not Unknown.** Dr. Washington's story on the stand was the same explanation he offered at the time of the altercation. He swore that he was not peeping into any keyholes; that he was only searching the tenants' directory in an effort to find a family with which he understood a friend was stopping, and denied that he had spoken to Mrs. Alvarez or any other woman. The acquittal of Ulrich was not unanimous, Justice O'Keefe dissenting from the opinion of Justices Moss and Zeller. After Ulrich left the court he was arrested again, charged with being a fugitive from New Jersey, where an indictment has been found charging him with deserving his wife, who lives in Orange. Dr. Washington, when asked if he had any comment to make on the outcome of his case, replied: "No, not a word." **Both Take the Stand.** Both Ulrich and Dr. Washington told their stories on the stand. "I first saw Dr. Washington peeking through the keyhole of my door," Ulrich said. "He saw me and left and walked toward Eighth Avenue. I saw DIES FOR RESENTING INSULT. "Judge" Moseley's Daughter Ruined by White Man, Was Avenged by Father, Who in Turn Lost His Life. Meridian, Miss., Nov. 11.—On Nov. 7 this state is now making her how as the most important on record inasmuch as on Tuesday a. m. one of her citizens was murdered by a mob numbering 400. The victim, "Judge" Moseley, was taken from the sheriff by force (?), of course, and his body riddled with bullets because he dared to protect his child from a white man who considered the girl, as well as others of her race and sex, his natural and lawful prey. J. H. Covington (white) had ruined Mr. Moseley's daughter and the father in arage struck him with a stick. His intention to kill was frustrated by the arrival of the sheriff who was unable to protect his prisoner from the mob who wreaked his unholy vengeance on him by taking his life. Some white men in their lust for the blood of a human being are becoming things of pity and horror, just as were their fore-parents, cruel, bigoted, and bloodthirsty, this, coupled with the insane desire for our women at whatever cost, makes of them creatures to arouse all our disgust, hatred and desire for vengeance. MISS MORGAN WAS HUNGRY. Dines on Corned Beef and Cabbage Which Causes Surprise. New York, Nov. 9.—When Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of J. P. Morgan, became hungry the other day she came back to the simple life and dined plentiously with "corned beef and," as the main course and an apple dumpling as desert. The newspapers made quite an incident of it but Miss Morgan knows what sticks to the ribs. The following is the cry of one hungry reporter: "Sitting at a table with six workmen, Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of J. P. Morgan, ate and apparently enjoyed a 20-cent meal this afternoon in the restaurant she founded about three years ago in the Brooklyn navy yard. While she was eating, her taxicab was industriously chugging outside, on a bill of about $3.50." The Chicago Defender.

"I opened the vestibule door and burst in upon him and shouted: 'What are you doing here?' He struck me in the face, and then' we fought. He asked me to let it drop, Dr. Washington said: 'I know I have done wrong. Let me go.' While we were fighting he struck his head against a fire hydrant." **Woman Tells Her Story.** Mrs. Laura Alvarez on the stand said: "When I went out on the night of March 19 to take out my dog I found Dr. Washington crouching down in front of Mr. Revette's apartment, peeking through the keyhole. I came upon him so suddenly that he had no time to straighten up and I almost fell over him. He got up, flustered, and hurried out." Later, she said, she saw Dr. Washington near Broadway. "He followed me down to the house," went on Mrs. Alvarez. "I was frightened. I ran past him." "What did Washington say to you?" "He said, 'Hello, sweetheart.'" Dr. Washington in his story said: "Ulrich grabbed me by the throat and choked me and hit me with his fists. I tried to defend myself, but he was getting the better of me, and I opened the door and stepped into the street. There were two men on the street and Ulrich asked one of them for a stick he carried. He hit me a dozen times, I should say, with the stick. "I said to him, 'Don't beat me this way. If I'm breaking the law, call an officer and have him arrest me.'" "When you were in the vestibule did two young ladies pass you?" "I am not sure." "Did you talk to any ladies in the vestibule?" "No, sir." Moore, of Texas, Lied. Dr. Washington passed through the city Tuesday night and in an interview with The Chicago Defender declared untrue the published statement that Mr. Moore, of Texas, who backed Ulrich, had ever given any money to Tuskegee Institute or anyone connected with it. HALLO'WEEN GAITY Mrs. Daniel Hale Williams Hostess at An Elaborate House Party in Which She Charmed Her Many Guests by the Many Unique Ideas for the Occasion. The beautiful home of Dr. and Mrs. Daniel Hale Williams was the scene of a brilliant social function Tuesday evening, October 31st, from five to eight, which from a standpoint of artistic beauty surpassed anything in a social way ever given in Chicago. The house was a bower of beautiful Hallowen' en decorations, the most of which being imported. Mrs. Williams, in her usual charming manner, welcomed each guest as they entered. The effects of the beautiful decorations, which were artistically arranged all through the house, were featured with all the Hallowen' en emblems known to witchery, together with autumn leaves and chrysanthemums. Autumn foliage in large bunches adorned the windows and hung in other spaces which fitted in nicely as a background for the beautiful picture. In the fireplace in the parlor stood the witch's cauldron under which were electric light giving every appearance of a real fire. The electric bulbs all through the house were covered with the different colors of the Hallowen' en season, which were arranged as to harmonize the light with the other magnificent and brilliant colors. These charming and most unusual decorations were by no means the only pleasing feature of this delightful affair. Many amusing and pleasant games known to witchery were indulged in by the guests. The menagerie room was conducted by Mrs. J. Settles Anderson, in which were all kinds of animals. The ladies were invited in one at a time and asked which animal they would like to see. On naming the animal they were led to a mirror. An art gallery, fortune' telling and a ghost story each added fun to the occasion. One of the most amusing features of the Hallowen' en program was the art gallery conducted by Mrs. Williams, in which were shown many laughable objects of paintings and statuary. The surprise of the evening was the appearance of a ghost, who was secured --- CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1911.

The story of the "Hunted House of Mesper" was rendered in a ghostly as well as a dramatic style. The menu was served in pumpkin plates with Hallowe'en napkins. The dining room table was decorated in keeping with the Hallowe'en season with a large pumpkin filled with fruit as a center piece. The fortunes of the ladies were told by each lady drawing from a real pumpkin an English walnut daintily tied with yellow ribbon which contained a piece of paper with their fortune written on it. Mrs. Williams and her guests were elegantly gowned for the occasion. Every one left highly elated over the evening's entertainment. Souvenirs of all sorts were placed in a large pumpkin and as each lady departed she was requested to draw one as a remembrance of the occasion. Those present were: Mrs. A. W. Williams, Mrs. J. W.

MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE HURTS Entire Race Amazed—Brutal Police Officer Who Beats Inoffensive Teamster to Death Acquitted by Jury. EVIDENCE WAS ALL AGAINST HIM. Officer Knack, Slayer of Robert Nelson, Goes Free—Robert N. Holt, Attorney for the Defendant, an Insulting Southerner, Whose Days of Office Holding are Over. Last week a jury in Judge Petit's (white) court returned a verdict of "not guilty" in the case of William F. Knack (white), charged with the murder of Robert Nelson, a teamster, on the 27th of last February. This brings to a close a case which was remarkable in many respects. With an overwhelming array of witnesses, the vast majority of whom were respectable white men and wom- adrennial Parent. Body Mite Missionary delegates has ever been on time and prayer. This society was founded in and moderator, who has put life and en, it was conclusively shown that Knack (white), the police officer in the case, had committed an unwarranted assault upon Robbert Nelson just because Nelson had some words with the (white) motorman of an 'Elston Avenue car on which Knack was riding, when the car in question was blocked by reason of Nelson's van having got stuck in the mud. Not even Knack and all his witnesses, which were limited to street car employees and two other persons, charged that Nelson said or did anything that would warrant the officer in using the slightest force upon Nelson, but notwithstanding this evidence, the Coroner's jury exonerated Knack on March 15th, 1911. Hon. E. H. Wright, who had helped to prosecute the case before the Coroner's jury, immediately called upon Victor Arnold (white), First Assistant States Attorney, and demanded the privilege of bringing the witnesses before the Grand Jury on the ground that the evidence at the Coroner's inquest proved Knack guilty beyond a doubt. Mr. Arnold refused to permit this, notwithstanding that Mr. Barnes (white), Assistant States Attorney, who represented his office at the inquest, joined in the recommendation. The case was then prosecuted at the Harrison Street court by Mr. Barnes (white), assisted by Mr. Wright, W. G. Anderson and A. L. Williams, and after a hearing extending over three weeks, Judge Maxwell (white), held Knack to the Grand Jury on a charge of murder. On May 16th the Grand Jury returned an indictment against Knack and on the 17th Mr. Wright called upon Chief of Police McWeeny, and demanded the suspension of Knack, who was still performing active police duty. The Chief immediately acted upon Mr. Wright's request and suspended Knack pending his trial. Last week when the case came up for trial, it was noticeable that Mr. Arnold had not assigned Northrup, Short, Day, Burnham, Fleming—Assistant States Attorneys, who have conducted some of the hardest cases in the criminal court since Mr. Wayman has been State Attorney, so conduct the prosecution—but F. M. Lows and Claude F. Smith were assigned to try the Knack case. The Defender means no reflection upon Mr. Lows or Mr. Smith; when we say that it looked very significant that the defendant was represented by Robert N. ```markdown ``` Holt, formerly first assistant States Attorney and later first assistant Corporation Counsel under Mayor Busse, and Michael F. Sullivan, Fire Department Attorney and Attorney for the Policemen's Benevolent Association, and still Mr. Arnold did not think it necessary to assign some of the older and more experienced prosecutors to this case. Mr. Lowes and Mr. Smith did their whole duty as cassetest, honest men, but was it the intention of some of their superiors that Knack should escape? Mr. Holt (white) in his argument appealed wholly to the prejudices of the jury and asked them if they would take insulting language from a "pligger." Another of his arguments was that colored plug uglies should be held in subjection because "if you gave them an inch they would take a mile." And still another was whether the jury "would send a white man to the penitentiary and blast his whole life for doing his duty and unfortunately killing a nigger." And yet Holt, the Southern, negro-hating bully, was not even rebuke by Judge Petit, who was presiding at the trial. When asked why he did not reply to Mr. Holt, Mr. Wright explained that no one but an assistant states attorney has the right under the law to take an active part in the trials in the criminal court and consequently his mouth was closed ex- Society is being held. This is the ahead of time. Over 2,000 members in 1874. Mrs. Nora J.

The Defender wishes to remind its readers that this same man, Holt, was a candidate for the nomination for judge of the Circuit Court on the Republican ticket in 1909, but failed to get the nomination. Too much credit cannot be given Hon. E. H. Wright, who followed this case from its commencement to its end, in an effort to see that justice was done. The rights and liberties of the race require intelligent and unselfish effort to repel the constant assaults made upon them by the Knacks and the Holts. But we are learning—we are learning to recognize our friends wherever we find them and we are learning to search out and find our enemies no matter under what guise they may masquerade.

Ignorant Southern Whites Try to Raise Issue at Purdue. "Pipe" Conte, the Cuban baseball scribe, who attended the World's Series, praises the pitching prowess of the pitching terror of the island in a recent article in the Chicago Journal. Among other things he says: "American baseball fans can talk all they want about their Benders, Mathewsons, Walshs and Browns, but down in our country we have a pitcher that none of the best batters in the country can touch. This is the famous black tornado, Mendez. Talk about speed. Why, when he cuts loose at his hardest clip the ball bounces out of the catcher's mitt. No one has been found who can hold him when he really extends himself. He has shown his skill in the past when he has faced the best batters on the Cub and Detroit teams when those teams were champions, and when the Athletics went there last ear. Mendez has more curves than any pitcher in America, and if some inventive genius could produce a whitening process whereby we could get this fellow into the big leagues, he could win a pennant for either tail-end team in either league." Conte is backed up in his statement by members of most of the champion teams which have been going on winter tours to the island. All the players say that this black Cuban is one of the wonders of baseball, and has more than any other living pitcher of the present day. The Cuban newspaper man is well versed in the ethics of baseball, and although of Spanish parentage, was educated and played baseball in the States. Since the Spanish war he has been engaged in newspaper work in Cuba, and has taken, up the baseball end for the La Prinsa, a daily publication, which issues baseball extras just like the progressive American papers. The Cubs, Tigers, Athletics, have all made pilgrimages to Havana, and each time they have come home after being beaten by our teams, continued Conte, in discussing the merits of Cuban ball players.

It Assists Yearly a Thousand Fellow Countrymen Who “‘Go Broke,” Eith- er by Sending Them Home or Lending Them Money. The American Society of London helps upon an average a thousand stranded Americans in a season. So far this year, however, only 700 have ween assisted, the New Yor® Sun's correspondent says. Tho offictals of the soclety attribute the falling off to the stories about high prices that pro ceded the coronation, ‘The society, Javhich has been in existence for 12 Years, has paid the passage home of ‘over 10,000 persons and has supported numbers in London until tho arrival of funds Only five per cont. of tho money ex- pended has been returned.

TRIBUE | ATTORNEY-AT-LAW am ‘Washlagton st. Cmeaco I Am the Guy That Is called the Jim-Crow Destroyer and Will Destroy Other Things That Get in My Path. In reply to the article that appeared in the Chicago Defender last Saturday wherein the supposed wealthy Evantonians spoke in defense of their lethargy, I want to say that throughout that article there were many untruths. 2011.11.10 In the first place, the names that appeared at the bottom of that article, over two-thirds of them, were forged. I have seen nearly all of those men and they told me frankly that they did not favor Mason, because of his Jim Crowing and that they did not stand for him. They stated further that M. J. Auter used strategy in securing their names. In the second place, Dr. Carnett emphatically states that Mr. Mason has never drawn color line in Evanston. This is an untruth pure and simple. Mason did draw the color line and I have proof of same. If Mason was not drawing color line, why did he seat all negroes at the rear tables and the whites at the front tables? Why did he turn down the chairs at his first four tables and would not permit a colored man to sit there? If Maso was not drawing the color line, why would he admit that he made a mistake in his actions towards the colored citizens of Evanston? And not only that, I have the testimonies of several of his waiters who were working for Mason at the time, and they humbly swear that Mason told them not to let a colored person "Hight" at any of the front tables. This is enough evidence to convince anybody that Mason drew the line. Not only these witnesses, but I have other persons who have been insulted in Mason's place because they were asked to take a back seat. It is true that Mason does not draw the line now, but he has drawn it at a past date. My job was attacked by Dr. Garnett. I am a butler, and I am proud of it. There is as much dignity in being an honest, reliable butler as there is in being a dentist, lawyer, doctor or letter carrier. There is equally as much decorum in being a butler as there is in being a police, caterer, club steward, chauffeur or train porter. And while I am a butler, I have never been found in a gutter unable to help myself. And Dr. Garnett need not attack any man's character, for his past is as black as any man's I know. While I have no property in Evanston, I hold papers to show that I have as much property down cast as any other ordinary gentleman of Evanston or any other city, and Mr. Auter is well aware of this fact. Mr. Auter has no room to speak of my job, for only a few days ago he himself, with a college education, was a valet to a white gentleman. But I can readily see why Dr. Garnett and Mr. Auror favor Mr. Mason. It is because they are doing the same thing that Mason is doing—disregarding the race. I know several persons whom Dr. Garnett said: "I don't for the colored man's trade." I a few days ago he refused to eat a colored woman's tooth when he was almost dying with pain. I realize that Mr. Mason is a thrifty business man, and I, like the rest of men, praise him for his success in business, but I hurl the hottest possible protest against him or any other man who attempts to Jim Crow my people. The wealthy citizens claim that I have withdrawn my theater case. This is untrue. My case in lingering just as Dr. Garnett's case is lingering. And I want to ask, why he is so quiet on his case, why he does not push it on? I am doing with my case exactly what he is doing with his. They claim that I have caused an avalanche of embarrassment to the colored citizens. They claim that I am irresponsible, unreliable and officious. If by telling the truth, if by giving facts, I have caused embarrassment to my fellow citizens. I swear you that you had better prepare for embarrassments at all times, for if a man, white or black Jim Crows my people in this city, I am going to tell the truth about it and nothing but the truth, so help me, God! Even if I am irresponsible, unreliable and officious, I can rest assured that with these weak qualities I forced Jim Crowism out of Mason's restaurant. And, further, there are so many of the wealthy Evanstonians in my class that I feel proud to know that I rank with such honorable men! The spirit that Dr. Garnett lets fly in his article that because a man has no property in Evanston those who possess property can do anything they want to the race and nobody must open his mouth about it. But in this, Dr. Garnett and his followers are wrong. I will speak of it if I must die the next minute. Why should I or any other citizen of Evanston look up Mayor Garnett and his city council and put a matter before them when at the same time they see it but are too much of cowards to speak about it? He calls my actions spite work. What would you call his? He reminds me of an overgrown boy who picked a fight with a smaller boy. The smaller boy got the best of him and he went around to his boy friends to get them to help him "lick" the smaller "kid" who a few minutes ago beaten him. I had rather do spite work than be a coward. But that which I said about Mason is true and was said not or spite work, but because it really existed. And while I realize in my life there are many things that I might have done that were not right, still I feel that I am and was in the right when I attacked Mr. W. T. Mason. they claim I take no part in the in- tions in Evanston. I had far keep out of the institutions of city than get up before a pub- ring and pledge myself to port and then at the critical and in my resignation, stat- ty forbids, when at the is nothing but absolute we tried in my hum- that the state- table are un- true. I have shown you that at some past time Mason did segregate my people. I have as best I could given you a part of Dr. Garnett's and Mr. Auter's character. In a word, I have answered the big guns of Evanston with plain, cold facts. And if, while reading this article, you may be tempted to read between the lines, I have said nothing that I will contradict. J. A. GUY, 1724 Sherman avenue EBENEZER CHURCH NOTES. The Sunday School is increasing, yet there is room for more. We have good singing. Wm. Crudup, Supt. The meetings closed last Friday evening. We had a very successful time with many additions to the church. Two of our young girls have united in holy wedlock. Miss Corrinene Cox, who is Mrs. Browder; Miss Letitia Rhodes, who is Mrs. L.

The Wednesday evening prayer meeting is holding its own in interest although the leader, Brother W. W. Williams, has been home sick for three weeks. The class leaders are preparing for a class rally on the 24th inst. It is hoped that every member of the church will be present that night. The services Sunday will be as usual. The pastor will preach at both services. Sunday school at 1 p.m. Christian Endeavor at 6:30. The Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society hold a very enthusiastic meeting with Mrs. Mayme Myers at 4029 Dearborn street. The arrangements for Woman's Day are very nearly perfected and it looks as though the 19th will be a great day in Zion. The Stewardess Boards are earnest at work for the most successful Thanksgiving dinner that this church has ever had. A very interesting session of the Forum was held on last Tuesday, several changes in the constitution were made. A short program was rendered, which seemed to be enjoyed by all present. The program for next Tuesday evening will be given by the Standard Literary Society of the Olivet Baptist Church. Ice cream and cake will be served free to all who are present. WAYMAN CHAPEL NOTES The men of the North Side, both old and young, have been called to form an organization next Friday night, Nov. 17th. This organization will be for the betirement of social, moral, religious and political conditions of the colored men, regardless of parties or regardless of denominations. Meeting will be held at Wayman Chapel, 912 N. Franklin St. A good program will be rendered. Meeting hour, 8:30 p. m. The pastor, Rev. H. E. Stewart, has returned to the city and will preach at both of the services next Sunday. The mid-week meeting at Wayman is proving very helpful to the members and friends. Dinner is served from 6 p. m. to 8 and from 9 to 10 p. m. Thanksgiving services as in olden days will be celebrated Nov. 30th, at 11 a. m. Stewardess Board No. 1 will entertain and serve an old fashioned dinner at 6 p. m. to 10 p. m.; also an entertainment will be given appropriate to the occasion. THE CHORAL STUDY CLUB (By Pedro T.

Applications should be made to Cecilia Johnson, Secretary, 5380 Wabash Ave. Requirements, 1st voice, 2nd voice, and 3rd. $1.00 tuition. Choral practice in singing is one of the most practical and useful experiences a singer can have, as it improves his general musicianship, especially along the lines of sight-reading. Self-control is cultivated by the necessity for careful listening, for steadiness of rhythm and for quick adjustment. To singers who are backward in reading at sight, this practice is invaluable. INCREASE Y. M. C. A. FUND. From Columbus, Ohio, comes the news that through the efforts of Mr. E. W. Eard the leading transfer man a Y. M. C. A. building is not only assured but that, headed by him, the colored citizens will give $1,000 more than the amount required of them. It was stated that the international committee would give $12,000 toward the project, if the colored people would contribute $5,000. Mr. Ward appeared at a meeting this week and asked the amount of the largest subscription. When informed, he at once said he would double it. Outside of this, there are no large subscriptions. All lines of business, trades and professions are represented in the list of donors. Just Like That. "I shall not permit you," he declared, "to trample on my love with impunity." "I shall not do it," she sauccily replied, for she had just been invited to go to dinner with the son of a Pit'burg" millionaire. "When I trample 'o I sha" do it with my fes. MAIL BAG LOST 300 YEARS Curious Discovery is Made in the Old Postoffice at Frankfort-on-Main. A very curious discovery which throws some interesting side nuggets on the life of sixteenth century Europe was made some years ago when the contents of the old postoffice at Frankfort-on-Main were transferred to the new premises. A complete mug bag full of letters and apparently originally sealed was discovered nidden among the rafters of the old postoffice, where it had lain forgotten for over 300 years. The bag was at first deposited intact among the state archives, but it has recently been handed over to the Imperial Postal museum, where the curator, Dr Sautter, has been occupied in examining the contents. Dr Sautter has published the results of his examination in the "Imperial Post and Telegraph Archives." The mail comprised 175 packages containing in all 172 letters; in some instances several different letters were inclosed in one package, either for the sake of economy or in the hope of greater security. Most of the letters addressed to persons residing in Aix-la-Chapelle, Cologne and Antwerp, besides a number intended to reach officers and soldiers of the Spanish army then operating in the Netherlands. One can but valy speculate upon the disappointments, quarrels and losses that may have resulted from the miscarriage of all these messages. They were no doubt serious, for in those days letter writing was too costly and troublesome to be undertaken without real need. Dr. Sautter has classified the letters and published a selection of those that contain items of general interest. The "aviso" or dispatch note found in the bug is written in Italian, though signed by the Spanish postmaster at Milan. It is dated May 16, 1585, and consigns the mail to the imperial postmaster then resident in Cologne. The letters themselves are dated from various towns in northern Italy. It is impossible now to say now these letters came to be deposited in the roof of the Frankfort postoffice, though there can be little doubt that it was the result of some mail robbery—which was no uncommon event at that period. The peculiar fact remains, however, that the thieves selected a postoffice for the concealment of their haul. Sea Serpent Washed Ashore The skeleton of a sea serpent recently washed ashore on Catala island, off Vancouver island coast was brought to Seattle last week, to be prepared for shipment to the Smithsonian institution museum. The denzen of the deep seas had been dead but a short time. If real specimens of this species of semi-fish and semi-serpent are still inhabitants of the North Pacific Herbert Webb and party from the Washington State university will attempt to find them Capt. J. T. Walbran of the United States revenue service saw the strange creature through his glass and went ashore in a small boat. The skeleton is 16 feet long and 12 inches in diameter. The eyes are still in their sockets and are as large as apples. The top of the head was still covered with course brown hair. The teeth, about an inch long, are like miniature saws and are hinged where they attach to the jaw bone, thus enabling them to work crosswise, after the manner of scissors. The skeleton is one of the most remarkable ever found on the Pacific coast and is a specimen of a rare and strange sea monster. Chinamen at Seattle state that on the coast of South China smaller, but similar, fish are seen during the season when typhoons are prevalent—Exchange. Prepared for the Worst. A good looking young woman, slender and modishly dressed, was eased yesterday in the front row in Special Term, Part III, of the Supreme Court, where many divorce cases are tried, when a young lawyer approached her and said: "Why! Mary, I am shocked. I did not know that you were even married, and now I find you in the divorce court," I— "I am not married, Henry, but I am going to be soon." "What is the name of all that is matrimonial are you doing here flattening to testimony in divorce suits?" "Well," responded the young woman with a flush on her pretty face, "I have been to many weddings and have rehearsed for my own, and—well, you see. I thought that I might as well know something about the other ceremony connected so often with marriage, so I came here to see how that other matrimonial event is conducted." After a few seconds of thought, the woman added: "It is always better to be prepared for the worst."—New York Evening Sun. The Modern Mrs. O'Leary This is an "inside story" concerning the celebration of Chicago day, one of the features of the recent "automobile row" festivities in Michigan avenue. For the Chicago fire performance the management was anxious to have an elderly woman impersonate Mrs. O'Leary, the owner of the famous cow of tradition. So they selected an old woman who has made a business of peddling gum at a south side amusement park. "How much is there in it?" was the first question she asked when she appeared at headquarters. One of the officers of the show offered her $5. "Oh, I couldn't think of doing it for less than $20," said the old woman with an impertious manner which surprised all. "But listen, my good woman," said the officer rather pompously. "Think of the publicity there will be for you. More than that"—he gave her a flattering look—"we will take you downtown and back home in an automobile." The woman rose and lifted her chin. "You'll do nothing of the kind," she said. "If I come I intend to come in my own motor car."—Chicago Tribune And What Its Citizens Are Doing Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 10.-Sunday, Oct. 29, was a very high day and it was pleasant as the sun shone down with a warmth which made no few be in attendance at the places of worship, to hear the different divines as were appointed from the A. M. E. Zion Annual Tennessee Conference, to preach. The services all were attended with a deep degree of interest. The music was reviving as rendered by the different choirs. At 11:00 a. m., at the Tompkins A. M. E. Zion Church, Bishop A. J. Warner, D. D., preached an able sermon to a large and appreciative audience. The choir delighted the listeners with great melodies. The Myrtle K. of P. Lodge, No. 12, had a public meeting. The object was to discuss some of the principles of the order for which it stands. We note with fraternal pride that the program was made very attractive and interesting to all. And at the conclusion of the program refreshments were served. The meeting resulted in securing applicants for the order. The program follows: Music. Invocation—Wm. Brooks. "The Benefits of the K. of P. to its Members."—J. W. Haines. "Physical Make up of Humans."—J. A. Mason, M. D. Lecture, "The Principle of the Order."—J. M. Esterling. Address, "The Influence of the Order."—Wm. Brooks.

The joint meeting of the K. of W. at the James's Hall, E. 9th St., a few evenings ago was indeed grand. Several timely and practical addresses were delivered by the members. As the prime object of the meeting was to plan for a great membership campaign, the outlook for the Knights of Wisemen in our section seems to be bright. O. W. M. James, D., presided. The refreshment committee served all with cream and cake. One of the most enthusiastic meetings of the N. Chickamauga and Chattanooga District Baptist S. S. Convention Institute was held at the New Salem Baptist church, Chestnut St., Rev. P. B. Broughton, pastor, Prof. I. W. Williams, A. M., president. The program for each evening was: Subjects: "Bible Study, a Sunday School Teacher's Requisite"; "The Child the Point of Contact Between the Teacher and the Parent"; "The Bible Idea of the Sunday School"; "Paul's Missionary Journey"; "The Study of the Scriptures." And Sunday the program was made quite interesting as also the perfecting of the B. Y. P. U. organization among the young people in the entire district. A great tribute of praise was given the participants of the program, who sought to do justice to the occasion. The singing by Prof. Tobias was grand. Rev. A. J. Robhinson, Chattanooga, Tenn., has been called to the pastoral charge of the First Baptist Church, South Pittsburgh, also the First Baptist Church, Holliwood, Ala. He is one of the old school preachers. But is still in the ranks of the new school theological preachers. Mrs. Virginia Wingfield, N. Y., the sister of Mrs. Dr. R. W.

Only two families in every one hundred of the 1,573 which have been in the care of the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor this summer, were brought to poverty through intemperance. The report for 1909 showed that intemperance, imprisonment, desertion, "shiftlessness and inefficiency," all told, accounted for not 12 per cent. of those brought to want. Sixty-five per cent was due to sickness and unemployment. This summer the two causes account for 68 per cent. of the poverty, and 43 per cent., or nearly half, was due to sickness—New York World. Up to Date. The teacher asked:—"When did Moses live?" After the silence had become painful she ordered: "Open your Old Testaments. What does it say there?" A boy answered: "Moses, B. C. 4000." "Now," said the teacher, "why didn't you know when Moses lived?" "Well," replied the boy, "I thought B. C. 4000 was his telephone number."—Suburban Life.

Take Time by the Forelock and Train Our Little Folk Before They Receive a Prison Cell for Their Sins. The stress which has been placed on the training of children should be given the careful as well as prayerful consideration by mothers and acted upon likewise, are more, are placed in the same jeopardy as are Harold Canada, James Parks, Ralph Harris and Walter Coe, who are held at the Stanton avenue police station on the charge of a probably fatal assault on the person of Charles Bryan, a teamster, who was beaten because he resented the throwing of a stone at his horse by one of the above named culprits. The old maxim of "training a tree while it young and it will grow as trained," amply advises, the strict guardianship parents should place over their offspring. We are too careless of the doings of our sons and daughters. Mischievous pranks, which we consider so cute in our little ones, become ropes with which many are hung. How often do we hear parents laugh at the cute (?) utterance of "I won't," from their babes, which in after years when the phrase is used causes not laughter but sighs, tears, angry words and many times blows. Had we corrected and curbed this rebellious spirit in the untutored mind of the little one there would be no need in after life for the parents to live a life of regret and shame, such as the families of those mere lads who now await the outcome of the brutal assault made on the teamster. Mother and father, look out for your little ones as the older life of your darlings will profit thereby, as the "saving of pennies make the dollars save themselves." CUPID HARD AT WORK. Wily Little "God of Love" Doing Overtime in Order to Complete Year's Work—Latest Bulletin From His Office. Dan Cupid (not incorporated) still extant and claiming to be the oldest concern of its kind, announces the most successful season in many years. Extra help, it is said, will be required to finish up the work before the advent of the new year. Authentic announcements are difficult to obtain but the Chicago Defender has learned that the following will be on the list: Mr. Leon Motts, Miss Madeline Duncan (a quiet home nunnels). Mr. William Brown, Miss Ruth McKenny (the groom is famous as a pianist and the bride-to-be is an Englewood favorite). Mr. Preston Coker, of Cassopolis, Mch, and Miss Alice Viola Brown, of this city (wedding in the near future). The Turner-Jackson and the Burch-Alexander announcements have already been published. Johannesburg's Population As the boom town of Africa Johannesburg has set a new mark. The last census shows a population of 240,000 in the municipal area, which six years ago contained 155,000. Of the present population slightly more than half, 122,000, are white, 105,000 black and 13,000 Aslatic. The contest between Algiers and Johannesburg for the laurels as the largest European city of Africa is still very close. The census of March of this year showed that of a population of 170,000 the French city counted less than 40,000 natives, but in the remaining 130,000 were included at least a dozen thousand naturalized Algerian Jews. Tin Used In Weighting Silk Tin Used in Weighting Silk. A chemist has recently analyzed a sample of a silk dress that was submitted to him by a lady. He found that it contained only a fraction over 28 per cent, of silk, and as much tir was found in it as that present in poor tin ores from Cornwall. The tin occurs in the so-called weighing of the silk. The chemist states that he at once realized the fact that the silk dresses worn by the ladies in London taken together, would represent Cornish tin mine of very fair quality—London Mall.

Puzzle:—What is gambling? Now that Taft is out of town we can breathe easier. The first snowflake didn't cause any capture of delight to the man without an overcoat. There is something the matter out in Oklahoma; they haven't had a lynching for nearly a week. Chicago has the reputation of having the most learned ministers of any city in the country. A Nashville firm advertises colored dolls from one dollar up; we have them here in Chicago but we don't advertise the fact. Reports say that turkeys will be plentiful and cheap at Thanksgiving time, so there will be no trouble about inviting the staff to dinner. Hereafter you will be able to dictate to a stenographer about everything but wages; they have formed a union to keep the wage up. What has become of the boy wonder, William Jennings Bryan? Wouldn't he make Rome howl if he ever got into the presidential chair? Poisoning people to get their life insurance seems to be the order of the day. One would think these assassins would save time and expense by using an axe. If Mrs. Vermilya, of "arsenic pepper box" fame, liked the dend so well it's a pity that she didn't study embalming and go into the undertaking business long ago with her friend Boysen. Now that the hue and cry is over it is said that President Taft's Y. M. C. A. speech was a disappointment. Why not invite the "strenuous Teddy" the next time and note the difference. The cold snap has made quite a difference in the crowds around 21st St. The weather does the work in the winter time and if the police were on to their jobs they would make it too hot for them in the summer time. The peculiar ideas of justice in the case of Dr. Booker T. Washington in New York and in the Nelson case in Chicago has set the serious minded to wondering as to what is really meant by the term, "preponderance of evidence." "Miss Florence Wilcox, of Minnesota, is said to be a champion nall driver."—Christian Recorder, Philadelphia. We plead our ignorance and trust that our esteemed contemporary will enlighten us further as to this new champion. We would like to suggest the punishment when Ulrich, the wife deserter, is placed on trinit at Orange, N.J., as we understand that the whipping post, the former mode of punishment for the offense in that state, has been abolished. Take a trip out to the suburbs or the parks; it will only cost you five cents; and feast your eyes on the forest beautiful before it is too late. The frost this year has given the leaves the most gorgeous hues and the cool, crisp air is the best tonic in the world for a tired, overworked system. A great deal is said pro and con as to whether a man should button up his wife's dress in the back or not. If he would only stop and remember, it is the same dear girl he was once crazy about and promised to do everything in the category if she would but have him, perhaps it wouldn't be such a task. Evanston, always noted for the culture and exclusiveness of its inhabitants, is again in the lime light in an edict that makes those requirements still more manifest. Now an august body that could be termed "The Mighty 23," will sit as arbiters of things social, professional and otherwise in our beautiful North Shore burg. Ground is to be broken within a few weeks for our new Y. M. C. A. The committee having the work in charge reports that the money subscribed is coming in very fast now. This is a it should be. No man or woman should subscribed a cent. ly meant to pay be a great big wonderful institution, standing like a sentinel in our midst, a monument to all that is good and righteous. When completed it will be one of the finest and one of the best equipped buildings in the United States. And we as a people for whom this is being erected should not only feel justly proud but should lend our support, morally and financially. It is to be ours; we are to derive the pleasures and benefits. The men at the wheel we have chosen because of their peculiar fitness for the work intrusted to them. Again, we say, let us help them and if there be any who are still in arrears and are unable to pay it all; show your good will by dropping into headquarters and paying what you can on account. It's wonderful how much easier your conscience will feel. A MENACE TO THEIR COUNTRY. The final discharge of the assailant of Dr. Booker T. Washington has set the Negros of this country thinking. When any race of people is assaulted by the sworn officers of the courts of justice; when color and not facts is the standard by which cases are to be decided; when perjury becomes a sanctioned method of testimony, if against a negro, it is about time to do some thinking. Ulrich charged Dr. Washington with being a sneak thief and gave it as his sole reason for asking for his arrest; so both police officers testify, who were first on the ground; but that can't be. After he is informed who this man is. 'After consulting his paramour he charges that Dr. Washington had insulted his wife. These facts were brought to the notice of the court, and this man Ulrich, a common dog, thief and fugitive from justice, with one story, and his admitted paramour, with her perjured testimony on one side, and the splendid life and character of the country's Greatest Educator on the other—you know their decision! How any rational man, with the astounding contrasts between the two statements of these people, can offer an apology for that verdict can only be explained by blind prejudice—facts material or immaterial, palpable or impalpable—facts of the eyes and facts of the conscience, all look alike to these men. Moss and Ziller. If there can be found a white woman, no matter how vile she may be, who will point out any negro, however clean his life may have been and still be, as a mark for the accusation of insult—who, who is safe, if he be black? When things like these can happen. Is not it a grave state of affairs? Is not it proof of the hold that prejudice has upon this nation, that it is a shame, a crime, a curse to this country; an almost unbearable oppression to the negro; an inalienable injury to the whites; a stumbling block to the nation; an impediment to progress; a dire enemy to every true interest. Such men as these should, for the rest of their lives, have the everlasting finger of scorn pointed at their judicial records. We suggest that it is the Christian duty which devolves upon the city of New York, to disrobbe these cringing caevans of the mantle of office, which they wear with disgrace to themselves, injustice to their black constituents, and a reproach to the administration of justice everywhere. WHERE WERE THE MEN? "President William H. Taft was at the Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church on last Sunday afternoon and delivered an address. The church was filled mostly with women. The prominent and leading colored men in Chicago were very "conspicuous for their absence from the meeting."-Chicago Correspondent in the Indianapolis Plainender. This correspondent certainly saw the meeting from an airship.

The death of Justice Harlan removes from the bench the most uncompromising friend of justice the Supreme Court ever had, and one of the best friends of the Negro. Who will succeed him? No question ought to interest the Negro people more. Who will pass upon the cases which must come up affecting us? Bishop Derrick, ever on the alert, has suggested ex-Senator J. B.

It is certainly a singular coincident that Mrs. Washington and Mrs. Avendorch, occupying the same house, should be confined to the hospital at the same time. It is the uncertainty of things. The Defender wishes them both speedy recovery. Mr. L. W. Benjamin, of Boston, Mass., who spent ten days in our city as the guest of Dr. and Mrs. G. C. Hall, had as usual, a delightful stay.

The Ministers' Association and citizens of Lexington, Mo., should get together without further delay and rally to the support of Mr. J. H. Arnold, the Chicago Defender correspondent there, in his determined and persistent fight for the improvement of a burying ground, known as Northern Cemetery. We understand from Mr. Arnold's letters that this "Silent City of the Dead" is for the members of the race exclusively and that they have neglected it. From this distance we offer this meager support to our wide-wake correspondent, for through a period of over six months or more he has seemingly been waging a lone fight. This is not right and we ask the entire citizenship in this portion of the "Show Me State" to do their duty toward the cause of Northern Cemetery. BETHEL LITERARY CLUB Last Sunday was "Chicago Day" at the Bethel Literary Club. Hon. John G. Jones, one of the oldest inhabitants of our race in this city, spoke on the "Past History of Chicago." His address was very instructive and one of the best delivered before the club this season. The solo by Mrs. Bertha Grady was good. Next Sunday the program will be furnished by the University Club.

JUDGES DIFFER IN OPINION IT SEEMS WASHINGTON AND ULRICH. The Acquittel of Booker T. Washing- ton's Assailant (Editorial Record-Herald.) Three judges of the New York Court of Special Sessions heard the case of Booker T. Washington against the man Ulrich, who viciously assaulted him last March for alleged suspicious conduct. Two of the justices voted to acquit Ulrich, while one voted to convict him on Mr. Washington's positive testimony. The outcome of the trial, considering the character of the defendant and his relation with the chief witness, the woman whom he first represented to be his wife and later to be his landlord merely, is decidedly strange. Mr. Washington himself has no comment to make, but thousands of his admirers and friends will unhesitatingly extend to him renewed-assurances of absolute confidence and respect. There is no doubt in their minds that he told the exact truth on the witness stand and that his assailant and his "landlady" either through prejudice or malice, or both, have misrepresented the circumstances of the whole incident. In spite of the acquittal of Ulrich, whose past and present life invites legal attention, Mr. Washington will continue to command the admiration and esteem of all intelligent and fair-minded fellow citizens. holds. Many speakers of note will grace the occasion, among whom will be Hon. R. S. Abbott, editor of the Defender, who will give the responsive address to the toast, "Our Press." THE LATEST FAD. "Along the stroll" everything is a fad. The latest is the delightful program every night at the St. Paul inn, 3212 State street.

REFORMERS WIN VICTORY Judge Grinnan Refuses Receivership for True Reformers—Says Blotting Out of Order Would be a Crime. Richmond, Va., Nov. 10.—Application of certain policy-holders for a receivership for the Grand Fountain. United Order of True Reformers, the largest colored insurance order in existence, was refused Tuesday by Judge Daniel Grinnan, in the Chancery Court, after prolonged argument, both on the part of the petitioners and of counsel for the company and those interested in its reorganization and upbuilding. The streets of old Jackson Ward were thronged last night with those interested in the outcome—people who had invested their whole savings in the order and its adjacent bank, which is now in the hands of receivers. The success of the order in defending itself, notwithstanding past conditions, was generally hailed by the people as a great victory. The application for a receivership in the style of Williams and others against the Grand Fountain, was strongly urged by former State Senator S. Gordon Cumming, of Hampton, and by A. W. E. Bassett, Jr., of the same city, who presented many affidavits in support of their contention that the interests of the policy-holders were not being conserved by the continuance of the order. Former Governor A. J. Montague, R. Lynch Montague, Speaker Richard Evelyn Byrd and J. Thomas Newsome, colored, represented the order, the home office of which is located in Richmond. Governor Montague argued with force that the interests of thousands of policy-holders, scattered throughout the country, were superior to the claims of a few dissatisfied persons in one locality. Judge Grinnan's decision was delivered from the bench immediately on the conclusion of the argument. He stated that the management of the order had been changed since the revelations referred to, and under the representations that the new management were making efforts to recover the losses, he refused the application for a receivership. He asserted that such a step would be one of the greatest calamities which could befall the race. MAJOR ROBERT R. MOTON AT SUNDAY EVENING CLUB. Major R. R. Moton of Hampton Institute, who for eighteen years has been commandant, will speak before the Sunday Evening Club at Orchestra Hall soon. Clarkesville, Miss., Nov. 8—The funeral of Mr. Thomas Kates took place from the residence of his mother and sister, Mrs. Polindeer, Sunday last. His death was the result of burns received by an explosion of gasoline in his tailor shop. Mr. Kates was well known in Chicago, having at one time been a member of the film of Robinson & Keats, tailors on State street. Mr. A. A. Jones, 5264 State street, who joked in Peru, Ill., was one of the best known newspaper distributors in the At Malden (Mass.) recently nine youths were tried for an assault on a body of Orthodox Jews, who were engaged in religious ceremonies on a river bank, and six of them were sentenced to the House of Correction for terms ranging from six months to a year. In passing sentences, Judge Bruce said that he had warned the ruffian elements, at a previous trial, that this would be the last time he would limit the punishment for offenders of this nature to a fine, but that hereafter it would be punishment by imprisonment. His sentences in this case were in conformity with his declaration. It is believed that this will end hoodlumism in Malden. * * * The Brooklyn Confederation of Jewish Charities announces a banquet to be given Sunday evening, November 12, at which there are to be 1,150 dinners and a number of very important and prominent speakers. The object of the banquet is to bring together the prominent Jews of Brooklyn, and explain to them the advantages of federating the Jewish Charities. Officers of the federation are Nathan S.

Must Have Been Work of Art. Critically the friend of the artist regarded the weird conglomeration of color which stood on the easel before him. He stepped back, bent forward, looked at it sideways, and twisted his head in all directions. "What you do think of it?" questioned the aspiring R. A. "Good! Very good!" his friend answered. "It's a perfect portrait; only—ah—I should be inclined to criticise one little detail. The original is scarcely so red in the face as you have painted him." The artist gasped. "What on earth are you talking about?" he asked. "Your picture! It's your uncle, of course!" "My uncle?" cried the amazed wielder of the brush. "That—that my uncle? Why, it's the sunset. Don't you see the title, 'Sunset and Eventing Star?' —Answers Moroccan Corruption Two main evils in Morocco are the corruption of Moorish officials and the degradation of Moorish women. The Moorish officials are inadequately paid and are liable at any moment to be stripped and cast into prison at the caprice of their overlord. The natural result is that they make hay while the sun shines, and by their "pickings" provide against the evil days which are almost certain to be in store for them. Says a writer: "Before they take office they may be honest and kindly men, but the knowledge that they may at any moment fall victims to a higher power quickly corrupts them, and they proceed to do as they are likely to be done by. Each official preys on the one below him, but while each, for a short time at least, enjoys power and prosperity, the poor peasant is squeezed unceasingly." --- Curious Appraiser Custom Allianzian Customs. Mme. Gabrielle M. Vassal, the wife of a French doctor, who was attached to the Pasteur institute of the Nha-Trang, a little village on the coast of Annan, relates some of her experiences. When she and her husband received at Nha-Trang they were received by the native servants, who saaamed and squatted on the floor for a long period, this being their method of greeting Europeans. Servants had the curious habit of washing all dishes under the table; never on its top. Men and women dressed alike, wearing trousers and tunic, and women on the way to market with their baskets always walked in single file. Apt Definition. A gentleman being in company with the earl of Chatham was asked by his lordship for his definition of witt. "Wit," he replied. "my lord, is what a pension would be, given by your lordship to your humble servant—a good thing well applied." Sure! Alderman Dowling of New York says that "if four or five women should sit in the window of a cafe smoking cigarettes a crowd of a couple of thousand people would gather about and block tram." Sure. And if four or five men should stand in a store window, and try on bonnets the crowd would also gather.

Judge Pettit said: "That the jury should not take and accept opinions, if any were expressed, by either the court or counsel, upon which to base their verdict, but that they must rely upon the facts proven by the evidence." But the jury had already received the opinion of the court and its influence was felt in their verdict. The Mock Verdict of the Jury. Those who heard the evidence and knew that Enack was proven guilty by the great mass of witnesses who saw the beating and fatal assault, yet feared that he would be acquitted. Somehow it was in the air that the case was predetermined in spite of any testimony and evidence. Men of different colors and races felt allie, yet their reasons and the evidence showed Enack to be in grave fault, yet all expressed that the verdict could not be guilty. No one seemed to expect the jury to follow the law. And it is not surprising that the verdice of "not guilty" was announced to the public. Savin' up for your Thanksgiving turkey? Those triumphant Chinese rebels wish that Confucius could see them now. Try to reconcile yourself to those fuzzy hats. They are not so bad as they look.

Rats and puffs must go, according to a fashion expert, but the dear ladies may be depended upon to wear something just as foolish. A Pittsburgh rich man has gone to fall rather than pay a $2 fine. Still a two-dollar martyr isn't worth a great deal of sympathy. An English highbrow announces that he has discovered what causes the human heart to beat. Wonder if he has fallen in love? At last a man has secured a divorce because his wife played solitaire. We await the day when the motorcycle will figure in a similar suit. The Kansas judge who rules that there is no such thing as love at first sight evidently was troubled with his eyesight in his early youth. Kansas City hospital authorities are looking for a plumber who has had the smallpox. It would be easier to find some with the hookworm. Mary Anderson says a happy home beats on the stage. Well, so that matter, a happy home beats any thing else that can be mentioned. A fashion magazine says "a perfect fit is fatal to a stout woman."

His orches: tral and vocal works, the two sym- Phonies, the masses and oratorios and symphonic poems, are full of dignity, poetic feeling, religious spirit, and a largeness of accent and mariner. Yet the gypsy glance and gypsy voice lurk behing many a plous oF porapous bar.

Next to a required attachment, one of the most convenient things a young man can carry about with him at the beginning of his career is an unrequited attachment. It makes him feel important and business-like, and blase and cynical; and whenever he has a touce of liver or suffers from want of exercise, he can mourn over his lost love and be very happy in a tender twilight fashion—Buddyard Kibling. WAS IN DELICATE POSITION Man Admitted to Theater on Pass Reluctant to Express Disapproval Like Rest of Audience. The play was an exorcably bad one, and the company playing it was even worse. When the curtain fell on the first act, sounds of marked disapparation were heard from all parts of the house. One man alone sat quiet. At the close of the second act a perfect tornado of moans, cat-calls and hisses broke out. Still the man sat unmoved. At last a man sitting in the next seat turned to him and said: "Pardon me, but are you not disgusted with this wretched play?" "I am, indeed," heartily concurred the silent one. "Then why don't you signify your displeasure like the rest of us?" "Well, you see, it's this way with me. I am here on a free ticket, and as I am getting something for nothing, I hardly feel justified in expressing my disapproval; but I'll tell you what," he concluded with emphasis, "if this confounded play gets much worse I am going out to the box office and buy a ticket, and then I will come back and hiss like the rest of you."—Metropolitan Magazine.

As a small boy was standing on one of the best library chairs and clawing with his grubby hands some of the choicest bindings in the bookcase, his progenitor entered suddenly and cried rather sharply: "What are you doing at that bookcase, Wilfred?"

FOUR YEARS ON 'ROAD' NEW JERSEY YOUTH HAS MOST REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE. Leaving Home With 73 Cents, James O'Neill Worked at Almost Everything Imaginable in All Parts of the Country. Four years ago James O'Neill left his home at 254 York street, Jersey City, with exactly 73 cents in his pocket. Before he returned to his home a few days ago he traveled all over the country and had a working experience in countless capacities in nearly every large city in North America, where most of the time was spent. He is now working in the auditing department at the Waldorf-Astoria and he declared that it felt good to be home again, says the New York Herald. "Since I've been away," he said, "I have worked at everything imaginable, from managing a five and ten cent store to waiting table in a tea garden in Japan. I never knew there were so many different ways of making a living until I got away from home. I learned, too. It doesn't pay to be particular if one wants to eat regularly. "I had some amusing and likewise tragic experiences. In Portland, Ore., for instance, I was floor walker in a bird store. That was tragic, for I was discharged for eating bird seed. It looked as good as breakfast food to me, for food and I had been on the outs for several days before I got the job. "At a tumber camp in Canada I got into a shooting scrap and nearly lost my life. A French-Canadian, with whom I had several disputes, became intoxicated one night and fired three shots at me. His aim was unstyled and the bullets went wild, but they whizzed uncomfortably near my head. "I had another narrow escape when two of my companions were killed within 40 feet of me as we were stealing a ride on top of a freight train in New Hampshire. The accident happened about midnight and I did not know they were dead until their bodies were found by the trainmen at daybreak. They had been struck as the train entered a tunnel. I remembered hearing some one ahead shout a warning. I fell flat on top of the car as the train whizzed into the tunnel, and that saved my life. "I wanted to see the world, particularly this country, and I did not remain long in any one place. I did not have a trade and it is easy to understand I was called upon to do many things to earn a livelihood. I herded sheep in Montana, stood a watch in a New Mexico concert hall, worked for a florist and billboard poster in Los Angeles, peeled potatoes on a lake steamboat between Milwaukee and Chicago, sold real estate in New Jersey, was housekeeper on a Texas ranch, drove mules in a Pennsylvania mine, clerked in a coffee shop in New Orleans, worked in various hotels in Florida, harvested in North Dakota, managed a novelty store in Evansville, Ind.; worked in a blacksmith shop in Ohio, was a farm hand in Missouri, worked in a distillery in Illinois, groomed horses in Kentucky and put in time in a sawmill in Tennessee." Mr. O'Neill said he did laundry work—his own—In creeks and streams in nearly every state in the Union. He is proud of the fact that never once in four years of roving among strangers was he obliged to beg for food. He did not communicate with his family while he was away, and an otherwise happy home-coming last week was married when he arrived and found his father died a year ago. He considers his world-wide experience invaluable, but says he will never leave here again, except on the "dollar excursions," limited to two days Misplaced Chivalry "My chivalry for age made me double trouble last night," said a mining man visiting in New York. "As I came down Broadway I saw standing uncertainly at the corner of Thirty-fourth street a woman aged and bent. She looked as if she did not know which way to turn. Cars were rushing up and down. Crowds were crossing this way and that, careless taxicab drivers were bowling in and out of the crowd and scattering folks and when I saw that old woman hesitating there I was filled with sympathy. I accosted her. "Come on, madam,' I said. 'I'll see that you get across.' "But I think I had rather not,' she said. "Oh, come on,' I urged; 'I will not let anything hurt you,' and I took her gently by the arm. She still hesitated, but I pressed forward with her until we got to the other side. "There!" I said, glowing with the consciousness of a good deed, rightly performed, 'you see it was easy, with a pilot.' "Yes," she replied, 'but you see I was going east, and now I shall have to cross the street again.' "There was nothing for me to do but take her back." Woes of the Rich. A smile illumined the countenance of the head bookkeeper. "The wich have their troubles," he said jouously. "Yesterday the old man told me to come up to his house after hours to go over some accounts with him. When I arrived, about 7 o'clock, he had on his evening clothes and was going to the theater, he told me. He had an early dinner so as to work with me until his wife should return from an automobile drive up in the Caskills, where she had been all day. He was expecting her any minute, he said, and meantime we would go over the accounts. He had bought the tickets, of course. We went to work comfortably enough, but after a while the old man began to get nervous. Eight o'clock came, and 8:30, and still no wifey. The old boy swore and I had to try to look sympathetic. At 9 o'clock he received a telephone message that wifey's party was up in the Croton watershed with six punctures and might never get home. The old man wasn't fit to work any more that evening." --- The s.xtant in use today by sea captains and others is a small affair, measuring only a few-inches in any direction.

Mothers living too far from the schoolhouse for the children to come home to lunch will find this a solution of the cold lunch problem: Use a box about 15 inches square, inside measurement; pack a three-inch layer of excelsor very solidly in the bottom, then put a tin or agate pail having a very tight cover on this. Pack excelsor solidly around this to the top of the pail. It is very important to have it solid, as the pall must be taken out. A cover must be made to fit the box and this, too, covered for three inches or enough to reach the pall with the excelsor, in place with cheesecloth or other light fabric tacked securely over it. For the box make a cover of linen or dark canvas. This cover should extend all over the box and hook on side. For the lunch boll in the pall rice, beans, soup, or whatever you may choose that can be bolled. When nearly done, cover closely and put at once in the box; put the cover on the box and it is ready and will be done and not when the children are ready for it, hours later. Of course, if a tin pail is used, nothing containing tomatoes should be chosen. This will be found of especial convenience to mothers living in the country, where children drive to school.

A good book repays rereading and a good sermon should boall the more valuable on second hearing. Dr. John Watsor ("lan Maclaren") openly repreached his sermons when minister of Sefton Park, Liverpoot, and found that bis congregation approved of the prac tice. They insisted, however, that the repetition should be exact, and were Ampatient of variations. In his “Lite” of the preachernovelist, Str Willlare Robertson Nicholl tells’ how on one occasion, after istening to a “repeat ed" sermon, tn which occurred @ simile of a pool, one of the congrega tlon said to Dr. Watson: “Last time you described it as a ‘turgld pool,’ and 1 was so alraid you were going to use some other adjective, and that would have spoiled the whole picture. 1 was so thankful when you sald ‘turg{d again.” Fool’s Name Lives.

In the case of the Harvey bear the bear had put off his visit to the baited trap gun until morning, and it was just as Harvey and Johnson were drawing near the spot where the gun was set that he took hold of the bait and fired the gun. “Hearing the report the two men hastened forward and saw the bear, 2 very big one, writhing on the ground, bellowine like a bull.
