VOLUME VI. NUMBER 46. The Home Edition "THE ORDINARY WOMAN" HIGHEST TYPE OF HERO Writer Would Give Medals to the Faithful Wives and Mothers Whose Lives of Toil and Sacrifice Contain Many Acts Deserving of Praise and Reward. A Remarkable Tribute to Women by an Interesting Writer. Would Interest the Carnegie Hero Fund. NEVER MANNED·A LIFE BOAT NOR STOPPED A RUNAWAY HORSE. But Forty and Fifty Years Fighting Sickness, and Poverty, and Loneliness, and Dieappointment, So Quietly and Patiently That Battle-Scarred Veterans With Breasts Covered With Medals Stand Uncovered as She Passes By. I wish I had the distributing of some of Andrew Carnegie's medals for heroes. I would give one to just the ordinary woman. It is true that she never manned a lifeboat in a stormy sea or plunged into a river to save a drowning person. It is true that she never stopped a runaway horse, or dashed into a burning building, or gave any other spectacular exhibition of courage. She has only stood at her post thirty, or forty, or fifty years, fighting sickness and poverty and loneliness and 'disappointment so quietly, with such a Spartan fortitude, that the world has never even noticed her achievements; and yet, in the presence of the Ordinary Woman, the battle scarred veteran, with his breast covered with medals signifying valor, may well stand uncovered, for one braver than he is passing by. There is nothing high and heroic in the appearance. She is just a common woman, plainly pressed, with a tired face and workworth hands. The kind of woman that meets a hundred times a day upon the street without ever giving her a second glance, still less saluting her as a heroine. Nevertheless, as much as the bravest soldier, she is entitled to the cross of the Legion of Honor for distinguished gallantry on the battlefield of life. Years and years ago, when she was fresh and young and gay and light-hearted, she was married. Her head, as is the case with most girls, was full of dreams. Her husband was to be a Prince Charming, always tender and considerate and loving, shielding her from every care and worry. Life itself was to be a fairy tale. One by one the dreams fell away. The husband was a good man, but he grew indifferent to her before long. He ceased to notice when she put on a fresh ribbon. He never paid her the little compliments for which a woman's soul hungers. He never gave her a kiss or a caress, and their married life sank into a deadly monotony that had no romance to brighten it, no joy or love to lighten it. Day after day she sewed and cooked and cleaned and mended to make a comfortable home for a man who did not even give her the poor pay of a few words of appreciation. At his house he was cross and quarrelous. At his best he was a kind and kind. His food like a hungry animal and subside into his paper, leaving her to spend a dull and monotonous evening after a dull and monotonous day. The husband was not one of the fortunate few who have the gift of making money. He worked hard, but opportunity does not smile on every man and the wolf was never very far away from their door. Women know the worst of poverty. It is the wife who has the spending of the insufficient family income, who learns all the bitter ways of scrimping and paring and saving. The husband must present a decent appearance, for policy's sake, when he goes to business; certain things are necessities for the children; and so the heaviest of all the deprivations fall upon the woman who stays at home and strives to make one dollar do the work of five. This is the way of the ordinary woman; and what sacrifices she makes, what tastes she crucifies, what longings for pretty things and dainty things she smothers, not even her own family guess. They think it is an eccentricity that makes her choose the neck of the chicken and the hard end of the beef and to stay at home from any little outing. But, ail it they only knew! For each of her children she trod the Gathesemane of woman, only to go through that agony of motherhood which the woman endures who is too poor to hirs competent nurses. For 40 years she never knew what she have a single night's un- up. The small hours of the and her walking the colic,oup, or covering rest-ests, or putting water. The to thirsty little lips. There was no rest for her, day or night. There was always a child in her arms or clinging to her skirts. Ottener than not she was sick and nerve-worn and weary almost to death, but she never failed to rally to the call of "Mother!" as a good soldier rallies to his battle cry. Nobody called her brave, and yet, when one of the children came down with malignant diphtheria, she braved death a hundred times, in bending over the little sufferer, without one thought of danger. And when the little one was laid away under the sod she who had loved most, was the first to gather herself together and take up the burden of life for the others. The supreme moment of the Ordinary Woman's life, however, came when she educated her children above herself and lifted them out of her sphere. She did this with deliberation. She knew that in sending her bright boy and talented girl off to college she was opening up to them paths in which she could not follow; she knew that the time would come when they would look upon her with pitying tolerance or contempt, or perhaps - God help her!- she ashamed of her. But she did not falter in her self-sacrifice. She worked a little harder, she denied herself a little more, to give them the advantages that she never had. In this she was the pillow of a girl over cooking stoves, slaving at sewing machines, pinching and economizing to educate and cultivate their children—digging with their own hands the chasm that will separate them almost as much as death. Wherefore, I say, the Ordinary Woman, the Mother, is the real heroine of life. DEATH OF MRS. LUCY MANSON. On Thursday afternoon, Nov. 9, death visited the peaceful home of Mrs. Lucy Manson of Cleveland, O., and plucked from that home its choicest flower, the dear mother, adored by her children and loved by a host of friends. Mrs. Lucy Manson, who was the mother of Mr. David Manson of 5413 Calumet avenue, this city, was one of Cleveland's oldest and most highly respected citizens, and had for thirty-five years been an active worker in church circles and societies for the uplifting of humanity. She had many friends in this city who will learn with regret of her death, after an illness lasting about five weeks. For expressions and tokens of sympathy from friends in this city Mr. and Mrs. David Manson desire to express their deepest gratitude. Mother. It is a wonderful thing; a mother; Other things can love you. But only your mother understands. She works for you, looks after you. You may do, understands you. And then the only thing bad she Eats deeds To die and leave you. PRESIDENT TAFT REPRIEVES MRS. LOMAX. Last week President Taft granted a ninety-day reprieve to Mrs. Mattie E. Lomax of Washington, sentenced to suffer the death penalty for murder of her husband. If the sentence had been carried out she would have been the first woman to suffer capital punishment in the District of Columbia since the execution of Mrs. Surratt for compulsory in Lincoln's assassination. The President's action gives Mrs. Lomax a stay until next February, and in the interim a consideration will be given to an application for executive clemency. This is the second reprieve the woman has had. MISS GASTON NOT POPULAR WITH THE BOYS. Miss Lucy Page Gaston is not popular with the boys because she says "that persons who smoke cigarettes should be prevented from throwing half-smoked pieces on the streets and sidewalks. They ought to be compelled to carry a receptacle to put them in in order to keep children from pleking them up and learning how to smoke." Miss Gaston is head of the Anti-Cigarette League. A NEW GAME IN WHITE CITY NEIGHBORHOOD. Beware of the men who jump in front of you and say they have found a purse of money or valuables. Call the police. They are thieves. Mrs. Crawford of 6347 Rhodes avenue fell a victim last week and lost $20, which she thought was being changed so she could get back part of what they found. There have been numerous reports in this neighborhood; it is our own color each time, both victim and thief. Note—S. Powell, our reporter, is only 14 years old. WITH THE JOHNSONS. Mr. D. W. Johnson, 6034 South May street, reported very ill in these columns last week, is still suffering with a severe cold. Master Vernon, his eldest son, is doing nicely after a slight operation Tuesday, at St. Luke's hospital. During Thanksgiving week Mrs. Amandle Randals will entertain her brother, Mr. Frank Al. principal of the school at Mound City. Illness has not seen for forty years. Mrs. Randali is Mrs. Johnson's mother. Chicago Defender. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1911. WILL KNIGHT GOOD COOK "Come Over and Help Us," is Cry for Cooks and Other Help in Canada.-Progressive Business Men Advertise Place for Sale; Can't Get Help; Unusual Condition When So Many Say That Work is Scarce. NATIVE BORN MECHANICS SLOW; YANKEES GET Letter from Saskatoon, Canada, Tells of Advantages for Bright Young Men and Women if They Mean Business and Could Deliver the Goods—Pathetic Letter Follows in Full. By James H. Lewis. Saskatoon, Sask. Nov. 17.—Dear Editor: I desire to thank you for the publication of the article I sent you. The weather here at present, which is the 30th of October and also Thanksgiving day, is a cold, bright, sunshiny day, about 4 below zero. A few days ago we had 11 below zero, but the air is light. Being a native of the state of Illinois, and used to the damp, cold weather that prevails in that state, it does not seem anything like zero weather. People are often frozen to death here who come into contact from other parts, simply because they do not realize how cold it really is. The help proposition seems to be the puzzling feature here. The people that you hire seem willing to work but they are not experienced and it takes up most of your time showing them what to do. They are not really worth the salary you have to pay them. If he or she happens to be an Englishman or a Canadian they are very slow and take their time in doing everything. In fact they put two men to do the work here that one man would do in the states. It is a little different with a mechanic. Of course they know how to do the work, but they are also slow, if Canadian born. The mechanics from the States are simply wild when slowing with them, because of their not compare with the mechanic of States. I believe that a Negro mechanic would have no trouble in setting a pace that would last always. The cooking proposition is a bad one in Canada. The Chinese have the day in this work, but one will often hear the remark passed in restaurants and hotels, "I wish that I could go somewhere and find a colored cook." The people that make this remark are Yankees and also quite a few Englishmen and Canadians. They have not been educated to colored cooking. One of the drawbacks is that they are afraid that the Negro cooks work there. There are about three or four good Negroes in Saskatoon at present. The field is open for good Negro cooks that will take a job and stay. And, furthermore, you have the advantage of being on the ground of opportunity. I have in mind a colored man here in Saskatoon who has conducted a confectionery for some time. Knowing the conditions he decided to turn it into a restaurant with the intention of advertising colored cooks. He succeeded in getting a colored cook for the day watch and a Chinese cook for the night watch. The result has been that he cannot feed the people and his place is too small. He has only been running about three months. At lunch and at dinner time the people come to the door and go away because they cannot find seats. Now Mr. Hill is puzzled with that same help proposition. Some days he has waiters and some days he has none. Some days he has dishwashers and some days he has none. He will hire a waitress today, and the next day she will stay home, saying she did not feel like working, and so on. Mr. Hill is so provoked with the conditions that he offers his place for sale. I believe, in fact I know, that there are plenty of Negroes in Chicago that can handle this place. The place could be bought. I am satisfied that some man that had a good wife, a son and daughter, or some one that he could rely on, could make a small fortune. I write this, Mr. Editor, thinking that some one will see this great business opportunity and take advantage of it. I will furnish additional information promptly. JAMES H. LEWIS, 239 Avenue A, Saskatoon, Canada. THE FREDERICK DOUGLASS CENTER. Sunday afternoon, Nov. 19, at 4 p.m., Mr. William Huff, recently returned from Washington, D. C., where he has filled a government position, will give a brief account of the Frederick Douglass Home as he visited it while there. Mrs. F. E. Cook will give two piano selection, after which Miss Fenshaw, superintendent of the Congregational training school, will give an address on "A Recent Visit to Turkey." MR. DAVID R. LEE LAVISHES GOLD ON HIS BROTHER AND WIFE. Mr. David Lee, 6411 Morgan St, surpassed all precedence of entertaining this week at his beautiful home when he spread a table to twenty-three friends in honor of his brother, Rev. W. B. Lee, Toledo, Ohio, whom he had not seen in twenty-three years. Things both in and out of season were served and the host and hostess did themselves proud in every particular. Mayor B. F. Mosley of Englewood was represented by his family. Mr. David Lee full tallness, while Mrs. D. R. Lee wore a skirt and over white satin. On Tuesday Mr. Lee took the reverend out for an auto drive about the city, which lasted for five and one-half hours. In the evening the above spread in given. Wednesday afternoon Rev. Lee and wife were driven to the Lake Shore depot, where they took the 29th Century Limited for home. Mr. David Lee, who owns about 12 flats in Chicago and runs in charge over one of the eastern railroads, could well afford to entertain his brother in this manner, as he has a neat little income. In the last week, he also a violinist of no mean ability; this he learned while working on the road in the past 8 years. We are proud of the Lees and we feel that if more of our men would utilize theirs in this way there would be no race question in the United States. U. S.

EX-SENATOR MONEY' PECULIAR ILLNESS Mississippian Attends Banquet. —Sees a Colored Gentleman at the Same Table and Suddenly Collapses.—The Medical Men Who Are Hastily Called Can Do Nothing for Him. THE DISEASE IS UNKNOWN TO THEIR SCIENCE. Defender Reporter Calls It Negro-algia—Says It Is Not Fatal But Prevalent In Section From Which the Victim Hails—Cause of Attack a Mystery. Hernando D. Money, former senator from Mississippi, and one of the four members of the national monetary commission in attendance at the banquet given last Sunday night by the Western Economic Society in the Auditorium hotel, hurried from the speakers' table a few minutes after the banqueters were seated. Mr. Money's departure so hurriedly caused much comment. One story was to the effect that when the former Mississippi senator saw a colored gentleman sitting directly in front of him with the banqueters he grew angry and demanded why the colored gentleman was sitting with white persons. When told that the man was a member of the society Mr. Money left the banquet hall. When seen in his room four floors below the banquet hall an hour later Mr. Money said that he had left the banquet because he was troubled with neuralgia. "It is rumored in the banquet hall that you went because of the presence of the colored man," was suggested. "I refuse to be cross-examined on that topic," was the former senator's reply, and he refused to talk further of the occurrence. The name of the gentleman who can handle such agony could not be learned. LYNCHERS PRAISED BY GOVERNOR. Blease of South Carolina, Incensed by Rumors of Impeachment, Runs Wild and Actually Shocks Southern Whites. Columbia, S. C., Nov. 15—Impetus to the movement to impeach Governor Cole Blease has been given by a speech the governor delivered 1,000 farmers at Anderson Saturday in which he lauded the mob led by a state legislator that recently nugged a Negro at Honea Path, S. C., for an alleged attack on a white girl. His audience was shocked by his open avowal of sympathy with the mob. The governor said that rather than use the power of his office in deterring white men he would have "resigned the office and come to Honea Path and led the mob." It has been openly stated that when the legislature meets impeachment proceedings would be begun against the governor because of his alleged connection with the "whisky ring" when he was state senator in the dispensary days. His proynching speech has made the feeling against him very intense. HARRY CUMMINGS AND HIRAM WATTY ARRESTED. City Councilman Harry S. Cummings tells a story of his being "arrested" by "Pop" Fray, one of the first colored policemen in Philadelphia, who died in that city last week. Mr. Cummings and the late Hiram Watty were standing on the west side of Broad street, Philadelphia, witnessing the Peace Jubilee parade a dozen years ago. They wanted to pass the east side, but the police grenademan was on a course that day. They told Policeman Fray of their trouble and he said, "Till 'arrest' you and take you across the street." He grabbed the two Baltimoreans and piloted them across the street, only to let them go when the east side was reached. That night Messrs. Watty and Cummings were kept busy telling their friends that they had not been arrested but had only worked a little subtler fuge to get across the street.—The Baltimore Afro-American Ledger. MONEY FOR MR. A. E. ETTLESON. Do You Know Him? If You Do, Tell Him About It. Dr. Montrose W. Rankin, druggist, 36th and States Sts., has in his possession a neat little sum of money for Mr. A. E. Ettleson. If anyone knowing his whereabouts will tell him it will be a favor to the Defender and Dr. Rankin. He must communicate personally with the doctor, for no one else can give it to him. The First Regiment, Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, will give their annual Christmas ball at the Coliseum and the Annex Monday night, Dec. 25. This ball is the holiday event of the season and will be managed by your old time friend, Major R. R. Jackson. DR. W. E. DUBOIS AS A NOVELIST. His Latest Book, "The Quest of The Silver Fleece," is a Surprise, but Is Well Done, Says a Well Known Authority. A Review By W. J. Vetters. One can scarcely think of Dr. W. E. Bubois as a novelist. We imagine him too serious, too given to the presentation of facts and figures to connect him with fiction, as too concerned with the real to deal in unreal quantities. However, the "Quest" is well done and though a novel it is not all fiction by any means. The struggle for the possession of cotton—the Silver Fleece—which means added wealth, power and riches to the one race and very life itself to the other and the co-mingling of the two races in that quest is interestingly and deftly worked out. As a novel it is good, very good. It perhaps cannot be classed as a strictly race novel. Most likely the good Doctor would not so desire it. But for pleasant reading it is well worth recommendation to any one with the taste for a readable story couched in excellent English gracefully and logically developed. Beginning with the education of a Negro boy at one of the typical Northern-maintained Southern school and tracing his rise to position and influence, with sidelights on conditions in the great cotton belt of the South, plain but by no means exaggerated pictures of some, only some, no one book could picture all of the injustice and oppression under which the black man must labor and finally dealing with the political relation of the races and with the life of the Negro in Washington, where he has become almost a man, the author gives himself a wide field in which to work. Too wide for any one book. Any one of the various themes mentioned might well be developed independently. "Bles Alwin", "Caroline Wynne" and "Zora" are each interesting and typical character studies. Of course we are most appreciative of Dr. Dubols' keen analysis of the emotions, thoughts and feelings of the Negro of intelligence, ambition and aspiration under the fierce heat of prejudice and the barriers to his progress thus erected. The political and financial parts are perhaps less surely done. The threads of the several romances are pleasingly carried and the book ends as one would have it end with "Bles Alwin" and "Zora's" decision to work where work is most needed. To the story reader the book would appeal but it appeals even more to those of us who are ourselves victims of the tragedy of stunted, halted and checked development allotted to persons of color in this country. If we might venture a criticism in the least unfavorable we would say the book lacks the warmth of deep inspiration as though the product of one long since callous to the things he describes and then we would have preferred to watch Bles Alwin's career under the stubborn, almost intolerable, conditions in the heart of the South, where, after all, the most of the real problem is—or shall I say the "majority of the problem," for it is real enough to each of us individually. VOLUNTEER WORKERS' CLUB. By L. H. Webster, Club Editor. The Volunteer Workers club held its weekly meeting at the home of Mrs. L. H. Webster, 6633 St. Lawrence avenue, Wednesday. The club had as guest, Mrs. S. B. Jones of East St. Louis, vice president of the State Federation of Colored Women. Mrs. Jones gave a very interesting account of her work in her home town, and expressed herself as being very much pleased with the work of the Volunteer Workers and said that she had gained many new ideas in club work from them. Mrs. Nina Tivic responded in behalf of the club. Mrs. Anna Howard, chairman of charity committee, gave a brief talk, telling of the many charitable acts of the club and especially in connection with the Old Folks' home. The Volunteers will hold their annual experience meeting next Wednesday evening, Nov. 22, at Mrs. Maggie McAfee's, 6612 Langley avenue. Every member is expected to earn a dollar and tell how they earned it. There will be lots of fun. Come and enjoy it. Oyster soup, coffee and sandwiches will be served. Admission, free. MR. A. L.

PRICE 5 CENTS THE FELLOWSHIP CLUB OPENS WINTER SEASON THE FELLOWSHIP CLUB OPENS WINTER SEASON Chicago's Noted Social Organization Inaugurates Winter's Festivities With a Banquet at the Dumas Hotel. — Recently Elected Officers Make Initial Bow. — President R. A. J. Shaw's Salutatory a Masterpiece. — Banquet a Record Breaker is Consensus of Opinion. Clergymen Among Invited Guests For First Time in Club's History. Formal Program Eulogistic of the Late John Marshall Harlan, Associate Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court—Lauded as the Last of the Old Constitutional Judges—His Death a Loss to Race—Speakers Knew Him—Adopt Resolutions—Personal and Otherwise. By J. Hockley Smiley. Saturday evening last the Felipson ship Club—Chicago's noted social organization—inaugurated Its winter festivities, inducted into office its recently elected officers and eulogized in no uncertain terms the late John Marshall Harlan, associate justice of the U. S. Supreme Court, by a banquet at the Dumas hotel, 33d and Wabash avenue. Likened for ability to entertain in the manner of the famous Girdiron club of Washington, D. C, the club becoming ignored this compliment and in its initial effort for the season still adhered to the "informal idea" that has always characterized them, but endeavored to make the spirit of good fellowship so peculiarly their own more pronounced. That they succeeded is evident, for, to quote President Shaw, "never have members or invited guests so thoroughly enjoyed themselves as the" did tonight." The only new feature was the presence of two of our prominent divines among the invited guests—Rev. A. J. Carey, D. D., pastor and warden of the Institutional church, and Rev. H. S. Graves, pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. church, Evanston. This innovation was a pleasing one and the new regime was commended for this step by the speakers. The Banquet. Preceding the banquet Mr. Craig Williams rendered several vocal selections by S. Coolidge-Taylor and Harry Burleigh. The banquet was set in the spacious dining hall. There was no attempt at decoration except the vases of flowers that adorned the table. Rev. Graves made the invocation. The menu was all that could be desired and was served in excellent style. When "coffee and cigars" had been reached President R. A. J. Shaw made his opening address and outlined the ideas of the new officers. The speaking program as arranged was a symposium: "Justice John M. Harlan: A Retrospect." Mr. S. Laing Williams was unable to be present. Attorneys: J. Gray Lucas had been selected in his stead and made an address that brought forth considerable applause. The other speakers were: Rev. Graves, Hon. Edward H. Morris, Rev. Cary, Major Franklin A. Dennison, Mr. Geo. W. Ellis and Mr. S. A. T. Watkins. Rev. Graves in his remarks drews a contrast between Justice Harlan and the judges of today. That the latter laid the courage of the notable character of the minor night is evident," said the speaker. The entire race was humiliated by the decision of two judges who freed the assailant of the distinguished educator, Dr. Booker T. Washington." Rev. Carey felicitated the club upon its forethought in thus elogizing Mr. Harlan and told of a visit and of his acquaintance with him. Mr. Lucas, Mr. Morris and Mr. Ellis also knew the deceased jurist. Speakers' ideas of Justice Harlan. To quote the many brilliant and telling points made by the various speakers would require more space than is allotted to a newspaper article. All the speakers agreed, however, that in the passing of Justice Harlan the race had lost its best legal friend. In his famous dissenting opinion in the interest of the people he was the best interpreter of the ideas of the framers of the amendments to the American constitution that affect us as a race of people. "He was the last of the old line of common law lawyers who (like the old fashioned family doctor) was an all around man. One who studied every side of a case and then with a few books and his own reasoning qualities paved the way to success. His day was not the time of the legal specialist who with libraries with thousands of volumes make precedent a crutch to lean upon. He paved his own way without fear, doing his plain duty as he saw it." J. Gray Lucas, Edward H. Morris and Franklin A.

Walton, one of our cam: paign workers, made an excellent re- port on the delinquent subscribers of his district, leaving in the office the amount of $12.25, which was sub: scribed. to the building fund. Mr. EB, A. Lightfoot, captain of team No. 4; stopped in for a few minutes and had the pleasure of sceing the campaign fund grow to the amount of $12.50. Mr, Lightfoot is working the post office clerks and is getting good results. ‘two new subscriptions were made and paid in cash during the week, one by Mr, Charles Keesee, 3285 Forest avenue, and another by Mr. BE. W Carter of 5025 Armour avenue. Mr. Pedro ‘Tinsley continues to work for the ¥. M.C. A. Mr. Tiusley was responsible for the subseription of Mr. Carter, and has been success: ful to get several red caps of the new Northwestern station to subseribe to the fund, Dr, J. T, Jenifer is doing excellent work for the ¥. M. C. A. building by encouraging the delinquent subserib- ers to meet the payments on their pledges. He was around headquarters and left his remittance for the final payment. Mr. Robert 1. Scott, a post oftice clerk, received his final receipt for his payment on the building.

A few days ago the office was in- formed that a subscriber was hold- ing back his payment on his sub- scription to the building fund because he did not think we were doing any- thing, He was surprised to learn that wwe had bought a 76 foot lot on Wa- bash avenue and to further learn that the plans had been drawn and the vuilding fund only needs his pay- ment along with others to become a reality. Perhaps you are waiting like this subscriber for some evidence of our progress. {f so, do as he did when finally convinced and pay up in full. ‘The December number of the Y. M. ¢, A.

The University at Evanston must teach letter writing. Don't get discouraged, it will be colder either next month or the month after. A farm sounds mighty nice in the summer time, but, oh, you winter weather. Remember the Y. M. C. A. Send them a dollar and see how much good it will do. Overcome by heat one day and frozen to death the next, is Chicago's record the past week. Have you noticed the color this cold snap has put in your cheeks? Pshaw, we forgot it is a race paper. We congratulate the Warrens, publishers of The Detroit Informer, which was "sweet sixteen" last Saturday. Hobble skirts and cyclones don't go together, according to one of our correspondents who hnd one on Saturday night. Someone has suggested erecting a statue of a police officer rejecting a bribe. In your wildest dreams can you imagine such a thing? "What did you do with your last summer's bribe?" said Jack Frost to the fellow, but an overcoat when he came to town last week. Evidently the Ministerial Association must believe in separating the press from the public. Strange ideas in this advanced civilization. "Whisky in solid form" is the latest. We suggest that it be in the shape of caramels and ginger snaps and you won't have to lie to your wife. We acknowledge receipt of a cordial invitation to attend a banquet at Topeka, Kan., November 30th in honor of the Western Press Association. We call the attention of our dancing masters to the Chicken Reel and Turkey Tret. Are these dances that are new to the society in the cast old to us? "Uncle" had a good many callers last week who pawned off some old tickets, accompanied by a little change, for some nice warm winter coats. A little while ago it was pushing a lawn mower; now it's carrying coal. Don't you come with the man that said "Life is just one ____ thing after another"? Don't forget when you sit in your warm cozy home that perhaps a few doors away is some poor suffering creature who needs something more substantial than your sympathy. Everybody seems to be getting ready to run for governor. Without taking a second thought we unhesitatingly endorse Hon. Ed. Green. Gov. Green wouldn't sound so bad, after all. The Republican convention is an assured thing for Chicago. The Democrats seem to be standing out for the jackpot to be raised. Of course, if their biff is called, they'll come here just the same. Do you ever remember of seeing a policeman in sight when you needed him? The other night when a little "affair" was going on in Armour Ave, a woman yelled police and they came so quickly she thought they must be ghosts and lost her power of speech. Judge Pettit has made a record for himself that every right-minded person won't forget. It is a nice state of affairs when a judge will permit a lawyer to influence a jury by prejudice of color and not facts, and the use of insulting and disgraceful language. The problem in this country isn't the colored man, but the education of the white man. Dr. Booker T. Washington has just been offered a price far in excess of that ever offered any, speaker for a of lectures, which only goes to drawing power and his enlarity. In his talks, for he brings to your door in a plain matter-of-fact way new thoughts, new ideas that he has worked out and found successful. The teaching world has adopted his methods and he stands today the greatest educator the world has ever known. M. Cary B. Lewis is our choice for Assistant National Organizer when the Business League meets here in 1912. "Remember Louisville" is the slogan of his friends. We are thankful for words of praise from many of our friends. Our many exclusive news features are not accidents but the result of constant hustle on the part of our entire staff. Former Senator Money of Mississippi need not be alarmed, as his disease is not necessarily fatal. It is a disease peculiar to the section of the country from which he comes and is generally manifested when "up North." Stay at home, Money, as we have the remedy and will cure you if you stay long enough. Dr. Booker T. Washington traveled the red light districts of London, Paris and Berlin and was not molested, and thus we had "The Man Fartherest Down." Then, why should it be dangerous for him to travel in the same district in his own country? Get the truth of the matter from "Can You See the Point?" in another column. An encouraging sign of the times is the fact that there are occasions when we certainly get together. Last week the entire race press featured the Washington-Ulrich case. Display headlines with well written stories of the affair did credit to the publishers. In many instances the news article was backed up by a forcible editorial declaring the decision a travesty upon justice and the distinguished educator's influence increased rather than impaired by the incident. The Jewish people of Chicago have demanded of the United States government to protect the Jews abroad. If you had money to loan, the government and its business interests, you, too, could go to the president and demand your rights. That's the reason you are not looked after at the South; that's the reason our government lets the white Southern, gentlemen rape our girls and women and flood the land with illegitimate children, because of the fact that we put more millions in a good time than we do in business. Watch and see. Steps will be taken, but a laugh for you. Some people think the Defender is not a business proposition. We wonder why. Is it because of weekly methods years ago? We don't care what the other fellow does. Our force, all of them, have spent four years each learning the business, and like a doctor or lawyer, it is a profession with us and not a matter of convenience. Don't tell us what the certain percentage charges on; we allow certain general interest that is of general interest the race, but even then we must be careful, because the printer will charge me the same, no matter to whom it goes or to what cause it represents. The news associations were very prompt to supply The Chicago Defender and no doubt many other newspapers with the account of President Taft's visit to Kentucky. But for one we were not satisfied and will not publish them. Instead we quote the following from a letter to the editor from one of its foremost citizens: "The colored people were not permitted to be on committees nor were they allowed to stand near where the race was during the meeting. But hundreds could attend the fences and along the roadway to see the President. The prominent men of the race were not given a chance." Thus the President of all the people only heard one side of the story. ODDITY IN THE NEWS. During the week Lou Childs of Spokane, owner of the fast pacing macer, Blanche, said that she is at once to be supplied with a set of false and gold-filled teeth, to cost $3,000. The mare, who has won $10,000 for her owner this season on western tracks, has been much troubled with toothache. Saturday last at Annapolis, Md., Harry R. Edwards, captain of the schooner Mary H., eloped with Miss Betty Harrison, daughter of G. F. Harrison of Kent Island. An unusual romance is thus revealed. Captain Edwards spent his vacation last summer at a house near that of the Harrisons. The couple two Harrison girls and they are twins. Persons living on the island often have mistaken one for the other and that was what Captain Edwards did when he cloaked last night. He went ashore from the schooner intending to elope with Mary Harrison. He met Betty first, however, and, thinking she was Mary, rushed her off to a parson's and aboard the schooner to explore great interest in the sea capital. The schooner now is somewhere in Chesapeake Bay with Captain Edwards and his wife aboard, while Miss Mary is mourning her fate. DEFENDER CORRESPONDENT HAS FINGERS FROZEN Mr. John R. Winston, 4015 Cottage Grove avenue, special correspondent of the Chicago Defender, in charge of its railroad department, had his fingers severely frozen Monday morning coming in from Minneapolis on No. 2.

Lieutenant Thomas Smith, oldest driver in the fire department, met a tragic death last Wednesday morning, Captain Howard, of the same company, was seriously injured. The accident occurred at Sixteenth and College avenue, when a street car crashed into the hose wagon. Uncle Tom, as he was familiarly called, was one of the best known men in Indianapolis and in the vicinity of the fire engine house he was so endeared to the people that when they heard of his death they shed tears. All About That Wedding. (Wide-Awake, Birmingham, Ala.) We were surprised when we were greeted last Thursday by Brother Warren McCarter and Mr. Tom Hill at the Wide-Awake office, when they summoned Rev. A. J. Gordon, the editor, to call at 1805 Fifth avenue at 7:30 p.m. to join in matrimony Mr. Tom Hill and Mrs. Candis Shorter. The editor was on the job, and he delivered the goods to the satisfaction of all. The marriage of Mr. Tom Hill and Mrs. Candis Shorter Nov. 2, 1911, was CAN YOU SEE THE POINT? JUDGES DIFFER IN OPINION IT SEEMS BOOKER T. WASHINGTON FOR- EVER. Trapped by Circumstances—An Edi- torial of Force. One Sunday night last March Mr. Booker Washington, the president of the famous Tuskegee school, entered an apartment house in New York to look for the lodgings of a friend. A little uncertain as to the situation of the friend's door, Mr. Washington peered about him, as anybody would do in the circumstances, and probably stooped down to read the names or numbers which were lettered somewhere on the premises. Of course his natural perplexity was increased by the solemn gloom which always came to a boarding house hallway. We dared the electric bulb was encrusted with iron, be spoiled with fissures, as such the often are. While Mr. Washington was thus engaged, without a thought of offending anybody or frightening the most timid, he was suddenly surprised by the emergence of a furious representative of the great white race from one of the rooms. Evidently this noble representative of an impartial breed of whose name was Ulrich was filled with angry scorn at the spectacle of a Negro wandering around the hallway. Without waiting to find out who he was or what he wanted the great white race incarnate in 'the throat, choked him, and when his high-born fist, when Ulrich had finally forced his victim into the street, he borrowed a stick from a passer-by and inflicted more punishment. 'Tis thus that that the ascendant race demonstrates its superiority over the lowly Negro. But 'tis not thus alone. There are other ways. Mr. Washington very naturally had his assailant arrested, no doubt with the expectation that the great white race was great enough to show common justice to a Negro in its courts, even if some of its most active representatives are an enjoyable occasion—one filled with joy and pliance. Rev. A. J. Gordon, the pet, joined in holy wodlock Mr. Hill and Mrs. C. Shorter Nov. 2, 1911, at the residence of a friend at No. 1505 Fifth avenue. To the many friends of Mr. Hill and Mrs. Candis Shorter and the S. M. T: This is to notify you that Mr. Tom Hill and Mrs. Candis Shorter were most joyfully joined in wodlock on the 2d of November, 1911. Somebody else had better get them a hubby, or the cold wave will catch you. Mr. Warren McCarter was the groom's best man. Mrs. McCarter is all life when Mr. McCarter is at home. W. McCarter is the lucky one. If you want a husband, he will find one for you. I don't know who is the lucky one to find a wife. I wish I did, for I would get them to look up one for me. LEADING JOURNAL RETRACTS EDITORIALLY. The Morning Times (White), San Jose, Cal., Apologizes in its Issue of October 11 for a Dispatch Inadvertently Printed July 10, 1910, Unfairly Mentions Attorney Edmund H. Smalley of Chicago. --- Following is the editorial in full: Retraction with an Explanation. On July 16, 1910, the Times published a dispatch from New York under the caption, "Chicago Lawyer's Costume Startles," referring to an alleged incident at the Waldorf-Aslora hotel in that city at the time of the Roosevelt return from Europe. The lawyer was named as Edmund H. Smallley of Chicago. Mr. Smallley regarded the article as an unfair and an unfused reflection on himself and called the attention of the editorial management of the Times to the article. The Times on July 28, 1911, notified Mr. Smallley that "If this paper has printed anything untrue concerning you will retract and apologize in a suitable and satisfactory manner." In the meantime the Times has had the subject matter of article referred to carefully investigated and learns to its satisfaction that there was no basis for the reflections on Mr. Smallley and that there was not the slightest indication that he made comments on his attire, and the Times desired to be just in this, as in all other matters, emphatically states that it regrets that the article was published in this paper without examination into the facts, and assures its readers that it is satisfied that the criticism implied in the article referred to was wholly groundless. Inasmuch as the article has been copied by other papers, we suggest that it is due Mr. Smallley that this or a similar explanation be made by the papers that published that feeble and unwarranted attempt to be facetious at the expense of Mr. Smallley. Mr. Smallley is one of the strong friends of the race, who gives every minute that he can spare from a large law practice to vigorous efforts in an earnest endeavor to restore to the race their rights guaranteed under the federal constitution. Mr. Smallley holds "that the rights of all are involved in protecting the legal rights of the race."-Editor. CHICKEN-TURKEY DANCE. Millionaires at Newport and Washington Fornake the "Grizzly Bear" for the Barnyard Favorites—Old Masters of the Art Say They Are Not New and Are Taught in Our Schools. Newport, R. I., Nov. 15.—The "chicken real" is the new dance which Mrs. Reggie Vanderbilt has introduced with hard cases. He has now learned better. The trial of Ulrich for his unprovoked assault on Mr. Washington came off the other day in the Court of Special Sessions in New York and he was acquitted. The story which gained Ulrich his discharge is extremely interesting chiefly for what it does not explain. His only way of seeing what went on in the hall was through a closed door, similar to the celebrated one which interfered with Mr. Weller's view of the tender scene between Mrs. Bardell and Pleckwil. Through this door, which Ulrich himself says was not opened until later, he saw Washington peer into a key room, where he saw the shade, and so on. Finally, under the stress of his hot indignation at such conduct on the part of a Negro, Ulrich opened the door through which he had seen all this and inflicted that condicion chastisement which Mr. Washington had earned, partly by the color of his skin, partly by invading a halfway sacred to a nobler race. The landlady with whom Ulrich boards, but who obtains no income from Mr. Washington, confirmed Ulrich's remarkable story. She was going out to air her dog when she providently beheld Mr. Washington's misdeeds. Among other extraordinary things which she saw and heard was an extremely likely remark from Mr. Washington. "His sweetness." This amatory greeting was uttered after he had been beaten to a jelly by Ulrich. What a capacity for delicate adventure Mr. Washington must possess. On this absurd testimony by Ulrich, the cowardly bully was acquitted and the country is asked to believe that a man like Mr. Booker Washington would imperil his international reputation and impair the prospects of his great school, by acting like a half-witted tough. The imbecility of the affair becomes all the more manifest when we remember that Mr. Washington was the first person to fact probably made it easy for the white race to discipline him, but it hardly adds to the likelihood of his success among the late stayers here and which she will launch in New York the coming winter as a successor to the "grizzly bear." In the "chicken reel" the dancers execute motions that resemble a chicken's walk and then clasp each other for a round of two steps. It has been popular for several weeks at Sandy Point farm, the Vanderbilt home, and at the dinner dances by Mr. and Mrs. Leonard M. Thomas, Mr. and William Earl Doley, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Harriman and others. It was also the feature of the dances given by Alfred G. Vanderbilt at his two weeks' camp party in the Adrondacks. Two prominent "chicken reel" devotees are the Misses Joanna and Ethelinda Morgan. Turkey Trot for Capital. Washington, Nov. 15—Unique features of the coming society season will be the inclusion in the coilitions and german figures of the polka and the theatrical figures which have been indorsed by notable women. The graceful minute and the cake walk will both have a place and even the boisterous buck and wing dance will appear occasionally. Last season the fad for fancy dances swept society like a whirlwind. Every one was practicing dainty steps, from the modern grandmother to the most vivacious deboutante. The Greek dance, which endured a revival in Washington society last season in the followed this season also under the leadership of Barney-Hemmick, who is a classic dancer of ability herself, and who has trained many society belles in the terpsichorean art. WORTHY OF NOTE. Caustic Comment on Live Topics in the News of the Day—By Mrs. J. E. Wright. A WORTHY MAN He was old and lame and almost blind, no longer fit for service, soliciting nips from a famed, uncharitable world, facing the cold winter blast, and in want. That is why Daniel Williams, a poor, aged colored man, once a coachman for former Mayor Carter H. Harrison, Sr., now deceased, was brought before Municipal Judge Dolan and fined $5 and cost. Such a plight for one who was held in high esteem by a former mayor of Chicago and which office is now occupied by the mayor of Chicago, Jr. It be possible that the dressing condition of his father's former servitor has failed to come to his notice? We do not believe that our present mayor is in any way financially obligated to Mr. Williams, but for his father's sake, if not for the sake of humanity, this old man's condition should be investigated and if worthy, a small weekly or monthly allowance would not be felt, besides the opportunity for doing good and making one happy should never be neglected. We know that our mayor must be a very busy man. Yet we must all respond to duty and it is our duty to look after and help the unfortunate, for so many once wealthy people have become charity wards that we never know where they will fall. We pass forever beyond the reach of human hands and human aid. And I sincerely hope that Mayor Harrison will hereafter relieve this poor old man who served his father so faithfully that there will be no further need for soliciting alms from the weary public. THE GOVERNOR WHO PRAISES LYNCHERS The Record-Herald, dated Nov. 13, 1911, gives an account of a speech made by Governor Cole-Blease at Anderson, S. C., in which he lauded the mob that led by a state legislator that lynched a colored man at Honea Path, S. C., for an alleged attack on acting like a drunken burglar in search of amatory adventures. The interest of this sordid miscarriage of justice does not arise from the peruries of the witnesses or the easy susceptibility of the court to imposture. It arises from the fact that Mr. Washington was entrapped by a set of circumstances and nothing but the enormous confidence which the country has built under this ruin. No matter how plausibly throb and his landlady may talk, every sensible person in the world knows that they are falsifying. But suppose Mr. Washington were not so well known. Suppose his reputation were less securely established. The same thing might have happened to him. He might have entered a hallway with the commonplace intent to look around for a friend's lodgings. His conduct might have been misconstrued. The assault would have followed, with the ensuing perjury to justify it, and he would have been lost. What we wish to emphasize is that any person, no matter who he may be, is liable to be caught in a trap of circumstances just as Mr. Washington was, and without any fault of his own he put upon his defense where defense is, in the nature of the case, almost impossible. Mr. Washington is safe because most of us know him in the picture of things impossible, and yet these persons here and there who believe it with relish. Many delight to see the ruin of a great name. Many more are only too glad to seize upon any fiction which seems to bespeak the ineradicable deprivacy of the Negro. Most of us are reader to believe evil than good about our fellow-men. Of course the lesson of it all is, "Beware of circumstances." They deceive as often as they enlighten. They are as likely to betray as to befriend. Almost every day some new set of facts transpires which bids us distrust every conclusion which is based on circumstantial evidence with nothing else to confirm it.—The Morning Oregonan, Portland, Ore. a white girl. The article does not say that the victim's guilt had been established, and we are satisfied that he was given no time to prove his innocence. Yet this governor who had sworn to uphold the law of the state and dignity of his office boldly, with no pretence of shame, no sense of honor, unbushingly admits his approval of the horrible deed, and declared that he would rather resign from office than to have protected this man from the violence of an infuriated brutal mob. And he does not stop with those utterances but goes on to say that he would be willing to go to Honea Path and lead the mob is identified with the governor, we know that boasts of its supremacy over all others, and if burning human beings alive at the stake, shooting and hanging are characteristic of supremacy and supreme intellect, then let the colored people, the most despised race of people in the entire universe, be thankful that they are not identified with such lawless and cruelly unjust race of people, who think that no torture too great to be endured by a weak, unoffending race of people whose only fault is the color of their skin. We feel the heel of the oppressor on our neck and as we watch from day to day the walls of prejudice as they rise higher and higher and in some places almost impregnable, we would indeed be less than human not to feel a wave of pessimism pass over us and threaten to crush out all hope. We learn from the different papers that this great S. A. is ready and waiting to send troops to help quell the uprising and restrain it. Yet black citizens of this United States have no protection whatever from the fury of a mob. If Governor Please is ignorant of the fact that every white woman that cries out she is assaulted when discovered with her black admirers only does so to protect herself after she has flaunted her charms to attract and he has yielded to encouragement, he should be enlightened at once. We are pleased, however, to learn that the audience to whom he made that address disapproved of his murderous, riot inciting speech, showing us that sleeping conscience is awakening and cruel injustice to the colored man will be a thing of the past when such unjust, inhuman monsters as Governor Cole Blease are forever removed from office. REV. GADDE DEAD. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 1 — People in Chicago will be shocked to hear of the death of Rev. Gaddie, pastor of the Green Street Baptist Church, at his home in that city on Tuesday of this week. Rev. Gaddie was a lifesaver of the church, Thomas of, Ebenezer Baptist Church, and same popular and influential minister of the gospel there as Rev. Thomas is here. WHEELER CREDIT HOUSE.

"Swing Low, Sweet Charlot," by Mr. Williams, ended the evening's program. Those present were: Guests: Rev. A. J. Carey, Rev. H. S. Graves, W. D. Neighbors, Edward H. Morris, F. A. Dennison, J. Hockley Smiley, Lloyd Wheeler, Jr., R. S. Abbott, George W. Ellis, S. A. T. Watkins, Craig. Williams. The Fellowship Club members present were: President R. A. J. Shaw, Vice President George H. Walker, Treasurer Adam Perry, Secretary W. L. Martin, J. Gray Lucas, John Raymond Auter, Dr. Brown, Thomas Wallace Swaim, Dr. Joseph Kelley, J. L. Parks. Personal and Otherwise Personal and Otherwise. It was a good thing that the banquet committee had prepared a substantial menu, for if the inner man had not been well fortified few would have survived the tail end of the terrible cyclone that hit them in the face when they departed for home. President Shaw is authority for the statement that Attorney J. Gray Lucas made the speech of his life. Although substituted at the last minute Mr. Lucas made good and told in a pleasing manner his first acquaintance with the deceased Supreme Court-jurist when he appeared before that august body in the famous Robinson million dollar car wheel case. The cheerful surroundings and perfect appointment of the place of meeting is to be commended. When the famous Gridiron club is mentioned one naturally thinks of the Arlington hotel and let us hope that it will be the same with the Fellowship club and the Dumas hotel. America has furnished two famous Walkers: George W. who has passed to the great beyond, and George H. who was very much alive, as is evidenced by the number of cigars he smoked. Seriously, friend Walker is one of our substantial citizens and prominent as a real estate specialist who finds his greatest delight seated with his feet under his own mahogany with his wife and three. Dr. George C. Hall was absent. This famous wit of Fellowship fame, it was announced, was busy in the operating room of a near-by hospital. Mr. Craig Williams, the soloist of the evening, happily made his selections from the productions of Harry T. Burleigh and S. Coolidge-Taylor. It was in keeping with the spirit of the evening—hosts, place of meeting, and everything from start to finish by the race. Mr. John Raymond Auter came late. His fellow members declared that he was "full of rabbit" and wanted to slide-track the speech that had been assigned him. Thomas Wallace Swain said "that two weeks' notice was time enough for any lawyer to prepare a paper." EBENEZER NOTES By M. Alexander We feel very proud of the masterly way in which our pastor acted as master of ceremonies at Rev. A. J. Carp's 20th anniversary of his ministerial career Next Sunday is going People's day at the Young Men's Sunday Club. There will be quartets, solos and papers worthy of listening to. There will appear on program Miss Olga Porter, Lucile Peyton, Netolia Hays and others. We invite everybody to attend Parent and Pew day here on the fourth Sunday at this church. All parents are invited. We are sorry to announce the death of our dear Beo. D. A. Cluby of Louisville, Ky., one of our pastor's old, old friends. A. H. B. Delany, returned missionary from B. D. Central Africa, gave a lecture to our Missionary circles Wednesday evening, which was very interesting. The Young Girl's Missionary band furnished the music. For your little girls come out to the young Girls' Missionary band each Saturday from 2 to 4 o'clock. We teach them missionary work and sewing under a competent directress, Mrs. Maynie Hudson. Next week we will give a full account of all the activities of the church. Mrs. Alexander sold more copies of the Defender last week than of any other newspaper sold at the church. STONES THAT ARE SOCIABLE Traveling Pebbles of Nevada When Separated Move Rapidly Toward a Common Center. "Traveling stones," from the size of a pea to six inches in diameter, are found in Nevada. When distributed on a floor or other level surface, within two or three feet of one another, they immediately begin to travel toward a common center, and there are huddled like a clutch of eggs in a nest. A single stone removed to a distance of three and a half feet, upon being released, at once started with wonderful and somewhat celerity to join its fellows. These queer stones are found in a region that is comparatively level and little more than bare rock. Scattered over this barren region are little basins, from a few feet to a rod or two in diameter, and it is in the bottom of these that the rolling stones are found. The cause for the strange conduct of these stones is doubtless to be found in the material of which they are composed, which appears to be lodestone or magnetic iron ore.—Harper's Weekly. At a Disadvantage "I suppose you will miss your boy while he is at college." "Yep," replied Farmer Corntossel. "I dunno what I will do without him.

I heard he had a family of daughters."—Harper's Bazar. Life of Prince Imperial Would Have Been but Hollow Unreality, Says Archibald Forbes. I have seen Napoleon III. at the pinnacle of his hollow splendor. From the German picket line on the second day of August, 1870, I heard the distant cheering on the Spitcherberg that greeted him and the iad whom he had brought from Metz to receive that day his "baptism of fire." Again I saw him on the morning after Sedan, as the broken man—broken in power, in prestige, in health, in spirits—sat with Bismarck on the grass plot in front of the weaver's cottage on the Donchery road. Next morning I witnessed his departure into his Welshhelmhoe capitivity. I have seen him doddering about Brighton and strolling under the beech trees that encircle Chiselhurst common. And for the last time of all I saw that stolid, careworn face, as it tay on the raised pillow of the bier in the broad corridor of Camden place; and when the face was no more visible I witnessed the coffin laid down in the little chapel among the Chiselhurst oim trees. I knew the boy of the empire when the shackles of the empire had fallen from his limbs and he was no longer a buckram creature, but a lively natural lad. My acquaintance endured into his manhood. When the twilight was falling on the rolling veldt of Zululand, and his day's work in the staffent was done, he liked, as it seemed to, to gossip with one who knew the other side of the picture about the early days of the Franco-German war—a war that had wrought at once his ruin and his emancipation. And finally, poor gallant lad! I saw dimly through tears the very last of him, as he lay there dead on the blood-stained sword by the lytoyosil river, with a calm, proud smile on his face, and his body placed by countless assegal stabs. Men have called his death ignoble. Fetty as was the quarrel, wretched as was the desertion that wrought his fate. I call him, rather, happy in the opportunity of his death. Had he lived, what of artificiality, what of hollow unreality might there not have been in store for him! As it was, he had moved in the world a live ghost. Better than this, surely, to be a dead hero—to end the Napoleonic serio-comedy with his young face gallantly to his assailants, and his life blood drawn by the cold steel—Archibald Forbes, "Souvenirs of Some Continents." Abstracted Lawyer The great attorney sat engrossed in a small slip of paper that he held in his hand. He stared at the document, or whatever it was, as if it contained the solution of the whole problem of life. The client waited, for the sheet of paper occupied the whole attention of the great legal mind. Standing first on one foot and then on the other, and back again, the client waited. Then he took a chance on seating himself, almost stealthily. He did not desire to interrupt the chain of thought that might even at that moment be planning out a pleading involving millions. He waited, just waited. At last the lawyer looked up, aware for the first time of the other's presence. He cleared his throat. "That gas company," he remarked, "has got me charged up with 48 cents' worth of gas for the month of April, during which time we were not at home more than two days. It's absurd."—New York Times Watch Talked In Hebrew I will say nothing of Greek; I should irritate myself too much. The monks of the Middle Ages were not so very much in the wrong when they asserted that Greek was the invention of the devil. Lord knows what I suffered through it. It went better with Hebrew, for I always had a great predilection for the Jews, although they to this very hour have crucified my good name, but I never could get so far in Hebrew as my watch, which had an intimate intercourse with pawnbrokers, and in consequence acquired many Jewish habits—for instance, it would not go on Saturday—and learned the hold language, and was subsequently occupied with its grammar, for often when steepless in the night I have to my amazement heard it industriously repeating: Katal, Katalna, Katalki—Kittel, Kittaltn, Kittalki—Pokat, Pokadti—pikat—plik—plik. Heinrich Heine Reisbilder. The Human Machine It seems that the body will ordinarily give out per day no more external work than about one-fifth of the energy consumed in the shape of food. The adult human mechanism, while more efficient than a large steam plant, is less efficient than a small producer-gas plant, assuming all plants of the same capacity. This does not mean, however, that the body is incapable of working at greater efficiencies. Under extraordinary conditions the body is capable of performing an amount of work far in excess of the amount theoretically latent in the food consumed, as witness some of the remarkable results among our athletic records. It is even possible for the human mechanism to perform external work without taking food at all, the work so done being at the expense of the bodily tissue. This is the case especially in test of endurance, where the extra energy is drawn from the animal cells.—Cassier's Magazine Question of Titles "I'm goin' to use de show tickets dat guy slipped me," sald Meandering Mike."

Mr. Wright Explains His Ideas in Plain English—Did Not Defend Mr. Guy. By Wm. F. Wrlight. JUST A WORD TO MY FRIEND, THE DOCTOR. Evanston, Nov. 17.—In writing this I am not forgetful of how easy it is for discussions to pass the point of useful purpose, transcend the bounds of sense and judgment and through the stages of crimination, recrimination, personalities and bitterness, approximate a lurid nulsance. Nor am I forgetful that we are friends—you have been my good friend—and the implied broad mindedness, that many men can differ, as men will and should, without loss of regard or surrender of mutual self respect. But I am also mindful that a point may be reached when self respect and a due regard for the opinion of others impose imperative obligations. I am not writing to defend Mr. Guy. He doesn't need it, as suffice it to say, free speech spoken or written is recognized as an inalienable right and guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. I am not writing to examine the principles involved in your communication, or notice the pompous assumptions or ludicrous positions betrayed. Nor am I writing to remind you of certain expressions of judgment which would now stand in lurid contrast to present encomiums. But this: You spoke of rushing into print. I didn't rush into print. I was ten days deciding about writing that sketch about Mr. Guy. You speak of "irresponsible, unreliable and officious person." My well known attitude toward and participation in a late contributory circumstance, compel me to notice your strictures. This phase needs but little from me. I am well known, (of course as "one who serves") to many people, who represent and in turn are represented by Evanston. These may be deluded. But in view of their wide dispersion throughout the community, their high average of intelligence and numerously imposed occasions of observant contact, it seems strange how the delusion persists. In the few instances in which they have expressed themselves, their testimony has been persistently and uniformly in agreement. Not long ago a lady asked me if I would stay with her "babies" (as she calls her growing family) while she and her husband accompanied a party of visiting friends to the opera. I went. In her first words on seeing me she paid me this superlative compliment: "You're just fine, I feel as well contented leaving my 'babies' with you as if I were here myself." I doubt if any man who in such an extreme instance can be trusted, can in any ordinary acceptance of the term he called unreliable, etc., etc. Do you? Certainly not in the finely discriminating mind of a woman and a mother. WILLIAM F. WRIGHT. 81S Church street. IS PROTECTING ITS INDIANS Government of Brazil Treats Them With Solicitude and the Results Are Good. The Brazilian government appears to have found a way of dealing with its Indians which is altogether different from that so extensively employed in North America where the "civilizers" proceeded on the assumption that "all good Indians are dead Indians." "The government of Brazil," says L.Ttoile du Sud of Rio de Janeiro, "is always occupied with more or less solicitude in the amelioration of the lot of the natives, who are yet numerous in a great part of the country. In a short space of time the most encouraging results have been obtained. A great number of tribes, protected by the administration, are becoming civilized little by little. The result of this is an increased production of cultivated foods offering superior advantages to an industry, consisting only of hunting and fishing, which has been the sole resource of many indigenous tribes in the state of Parana the Indians belonging for the most part to the nation of the Calcangus are cultivating their lands in maize, rice and sweet potatoes. The natives of the valley of the river Tibagu have recently constructed five sugar mills, very crude, it is true, but nevertheless a great step in their progress." SOME NOVEL FRENCH CANES Handles of Walking Sticks are Receptacles for Colns, Matches and Other Things. The ingenuity of the Frenchman has not been confined to the making of weapons out of apparently harmless canes. In fact there is quite a variety of uses which the cane is made to serve. One of the canes is fitted with a coin box and a match box, these being contained in the head, which is provided with a carefully concealed lid. The coin box is arranged to permit of depositing and easily removing the coin by a slight pressure of the thumb, thus obviating the necessity of fishing for coins in the pocket Another cane handle contains a complete outfit of the game known as Petits Chevaux. When the lid is open betting can begin and the horse crossing the wire first wins the stakes. One of the latest Parisian novelties consists in a ladies' parasol handle containing a roulette wheel which can be used for gambling at any place or moment. These handles have become very popular. They are of fine workmanship and generally of gold or silver. One handle contains almost everything that one would be likely to need. A long sheet of paper is wound around the rod, from which pieces may be torn off for taking notes. When the lid is opened penknife, pencil, nail file, combs and looking glass are disclosed. These objects are small, but large enough for practical use—Scientific American. Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 15.—Sunday was one of those days, which tempted many a person to attend the religious services at their respective places of worship. And the divines made it a special duty to deliver their sermons in the most eloquent manner, the production of much matured thought of the different subjects treated to the delight of all the hearers. And the choirs sang selected music for the services. Sunday, at 2:30 p. m., at the St. James Baptist church, Rev. E. Moore, pastor, baptized a number of candidates in the river as the result of the recent revival. Also Second Baptist church, Rev. J. H. Mastin, pastor, baptized theirs in the river. Joint Meeting K. of W. of America. The meeting was made very interesting by the different speakers relative to the basis of the principle of the Knights and Wisemen of America, O. W. James, M. D., presided. This order is destined to do great work as a fraternal body for its membership. And the endowment feature will indeed attract the attention of the people of this day. Addresses: Mrs. Nettie Young, W. P. No. 143; Mrs. C. C. Morgan, 143; Mrs. W. H. Talbert, W. P. No. 137; Mrs. Annie Stone, W. P. No. 143; Mrs. S. V. Robinson, W. V.; Mrs. Humphrey, Messrs. L. J. Suggs, Humphry, Jackson, Wm. Brooks. The Independent Link band of Union order held a public meeting a few evenings ago, primarily making known its object to care for the sick in the time of distress, to look after the widows and orphans and to deciently bury its dead. Addresses delivered by the following: G. W. Graft, president: Mrs. Mattie Bailey, J. J. Buckner, Frank James, H. L. Holt, W. A. Holt and Wm. Brooks. The generous hearted members of the Second Baptist church, with one of the most interesting and attractive programs, celebrated the second anniversary of their pastor, Rev. J. H. Mastin, Nov. 12-14. And the occasion was the greatest of the kind which has been the pleasure of this writer to witness. The noted feature of this grand affair was the industrial and professional exhibition of things produced by the people. We note, with much educational pride, the great novelty of the literary feast presented in the oratorical contest at the Leonard Street Presbyterian church a few evenings ago. The occasion was made quite interesting and the same marked the ability of those contended for the prize under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. Mr. S. S. Booker, general secretary, the object is to bestir the young men to the spirit of oratorical speaking, which is so very necessary in this great age of educational advancement. The prize oratorical contestants: Messrs. Fred Smith, Edward Boyd, T. A. Johnson, Wm. Maning. First prize, gold pin, emblem of Y. M. C. A.; second, silver pin. Mr. T. A. Johnson, first prize winner; Mr. Fred Smith, second prize winner. Mr. Johnson is to be congratulated for achieving such an honor in oratory. He has proven to be equal to the task. Mr. Smith as a debater has won for himself the distinction of being crowned king and he has done much to succeed in the same as a debater. Do see Wm. Brooks for the Chicago Defender. A novelty reception was tendered to the outgoing pastor, Rev. I. H. Welch, D. D., and the incoming pastor, Rev. J. H. Smith, D. D., Warren A. M. E. church, by the members of said church a few evenings ago and in whose honor an excellent and interesting program was in a choice manner rendered to the delight of all present. And each participant did credit to themselves upon this eventful occasion. Dr. Welch for four years has been a faithful and an energetic preacher, identified with all things tended to the uplift of the race here in the city and a tribute of praise of many precious words uttered for him and a token of the esteem and appreciation was presented Dr. Welch by the generous hearted ladies. And in the most befitting words of the King's English he accepted the same with mank thanks. The motto for Dr. Welch so expressed: We wish you good luck, God-speed and good-by. It was written by Alexander Lewis. The pastor, Rev. Smith, in the spirit of a good shepherd said many words of encouragement to this his new flock as to the future work of the church, and the people so cheerfully accepted the same with high expectation of coming up to the standard of church work as loyal members of the same. The ladies most daintily and attractively adorned the table and the rostrum of the church was beautifully decorated with flowers. And the committee of ladies did their work so nicely for this affair. Mr. D. H. Hall, master of ceremonies, made a grand speech for the good of the church, Dr. Welch and Dr. Smith, the new pastor. Mr. J. F. Trimble, undertaker, has purchased recently an outfit consisting of a fine hearse, two carriages, two horses and a landall. We wish him much success. We note with much degree of pleasure that the chieftain of the nation while on his visiting tour entered our historic town Nov. 10. It was the scene of a great occasion, as the streets were thronged with people to greet the President and his address though brief was full of profound thought and sound wisdom at the Chattanooga university (white). Dellacay Known to the Ancients The raised meat plies, so dear to the heart of the Englishman, and the no less Jelicious deep pies, made in pastry-lined bowls, were well known to Apicius, and he even given explicit instructions about leaving a mole in the upper crust through which the steam may escape. THE SCRAP BOOK The Cedars of Lebanon. Very carefully enclosed and guarded are the 200 remaining cedars of Lebanon, those famous trees that once clothed all the sides of the Syrian mountains, says Harper's Weekly. So tall and beautiful were they, in comparison with the trees of Palestine, that the Hebrew writers celebrated them with extraordinary praise and from the earliest times their soft white wood was the glory of the Jewish architecture. They were used in Soloman's temple and in its successor, and also in the church that Constantine built at Jerusalem. The surviving trees are called by the Arabs the "trees of God," and under their wide-spreading branches the clergy of the Greek church occasionally celebrate mass. Several of the trees in the grove are over 1,500 years old, and have a height of 100 feet and a circumference of 50. In appearance they more resemble the aged larch or the majestic oak than the cedar that is known in America. Artificial Snails. Snails, the only genuine part of which are the shells are now being sold in Paris, and it is said that the imitation of the real article is so close that many epicures have a high opulion of the sham product. But it is presumed that they do not know that the snails are artificial, and they are certainly ignorant of the method by which the snails are manufactured. Snail-shells, it seems, are bought from the dust-men and rag-pickers, and after being cleaned are filled with "lights" or cats' meat the soft flesh being cut into corkscrew form, so as to fit the shell by a skilfully designed machine. The receptacle is then sealed by means of liquid fat, and the escargot is ready for the consumer. The secret came out in consequence of an action brought by a man employed at the snail-factory to recover damages for a finger mutilated by one of the machines. The artificial snails find a ready market. The Chinese Language The Chinese Language. A European student of the Chinese language says it is not so difficult to acquire as is commonly supposed. First, there is no spelling. You hear and read of Chinese spelling, but it is imaginary rather than real. Some characters are made by combining other characters, but each character is a word. There is very little inflection, and there are few unnecessary words. The language is so simple that some uneducated people use only a few hundred words in all. There are many beautiful and intensely interesting expressions. A Chinaman speaks of a fault as "that which is not," of reputation as "name tone," of obedience as "hearing words," of politeness as "guest breath," gumpowder is fire medicine and to get the small-pox is to "flower out." Such expressions ars found in nearly every lesson. The study of Chinese is difficult because it must be learned, from a Chinaman. Why Chess Was Invented Why Chess Was Invented. Of all the theories which have been advanced as to the origin of chess, for it must be remembered that the exact origin is quite unknown, the most plausible appears to be that the ancient Buddhist priests Invented the game of chess so that the natural fighting instinct of mankind might find an outlet without transgressing the Buddhistic commandment, which prohibited fighting. Although the chess of mediaeval and modern Europe was undoubtedly derived from Arabic or Persian sources, yet India was the real cradle in which the game was nurtured. The' words "check" and "mate," mere phonetic equivalents of the Persian words "Shah"—a king, and "mat"—he is dead—the king is dead—are conclusive proof of the Persian origin of the game so far as its introduction into western countries is concerned. Underground River In America According to geologists, the greatest underground river in the world flows from the Rocky mountains underneath New Mexico and Texas, emptying itself in the Gulf of Mexico. This river is thought to be in places several miles wide, and it is believed that it feeds rivers that flow upon the surface. The artesian well belt of Texas is pointed to as the uplifting of the water from this river, often from eight hundred feet below. Modern Solomon After much conflicting testimony had been given by two neighbors, who claim the ownership of a hen, Justice Burnside, of Sharon, Pa., following the footsteps of Solomon, took the hen to a point midway between the houses of the contesting parties and turned her loose.

WORK Prominent Transfer Man Doubled Largest Subscription—Fund Members of Race Are Asked to Give Is Increased by $1,000—Mr. Ward interested in all Enterprises for the Benefit of His People. Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 17.—Colored people of Columbus are assured of a Y. M. C. A. building. Although called upon to raise only $5,000, it was announced at a committee meeting in week that subscriptions totalling $6,100,25 had been cured in the four days' canvases. The enthusiasm was unique and so pleased were those in charge of the fund that it was decided to proceed with the solicitation of subscriptions until they reach $8,000. A few weeks ago, when the committees representing the various Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. organizations met, J. A. Metcalf was requested to assume the colored project. It was stated that the international committee would give $12,000 toward the project if the colored people would contribute $5,000. Mr. Metcalf got busy at once. Sixteen teams of from five to ten men each were formed. All colored churches, at Mr. Metcalf's insistence, were united to co-operate in the project. Colored people only were solicited. E. E. Ward, well known transfer man, appeared at last week's meeting 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. "I never saw anything like the spirit the colored people have displayed," said Mr. Metcalf. "There was not a jar or inharmonious note. All worked together." FOUR YEARS ON 'ROAD' 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 fork 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 here 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 graphic experiences. In Portland, Ore. for instance, I was floor walker in a bird store. That was pretty cool, we 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 lumber 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 unsteady 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 steambat between Milwaukee and Chicago, sold real estate in New Jersey, was housekeeper on a Texas branch, drove mules in a Pennsylvania market, worked in a coffee shop in New Orleans, worked in a grocery store in Florida, harvested in North Dakota, managed a novelty store in Evanville, Ind.; worked in a blacksmith shop in Ohio, worked in 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 except on the "dollar excursi- limited to two days Give Life to Pure. retain their color longer hich have not been dyed.

YOUNG COLORED MEN IN ATHLETICS Their Splendid Work in Our Various Universities and High Schools.—Purdue Did Not Objest to Playing With Alexander.—The Pollards in the Game For Years. By Julius N. Avendorph. On account of a lack of space these articles have had to be deferred, which I have regretted, as I have realized at least one thing, that is, if sentiment counts for anything, as a large number of our readers have expressed themselves as having missed them, then too, my contention that the colored young man by taking an active part in athletics was benefitted either one way or the other, was strengthened in a large degree from the fact of the action of the University of Iowa calling off their annual game with the University of Missouri, which made a protest against playing with Alexander, the colored tackle on the University of Iowa team. The daily papers stated last week that Purdue had objected to playing against Alexander, but that was a mistake, and I want to say right here that Purdue is one of the whitest universities in the west. Inasmuch as the football season is only to take two weeks longer, I am to take both Alexander, left tackle on the University of Iowa, and Fred. Pollard, right half-back on the Lane high school, as my subjects for this article. Whenever I speak of the Pollards, it always calls to my ford the Poes (white) of New Jersey, for the Princeton team, being a Poe on the Princeton high team, and for the last twelve years we have had a Pollard on some of the Cook County high school teams. The Pollards, like the Poes, all of whom have done something during their school days in athletics that brought them prominently before the public. Pollard, right half-back on the Lane high school, is the mainstay of the team, and without an exception is the best half-back in the Cook County high school league and one of the best in the country. His defensive as well as offensive work is marvelous. His quick and active defense which is necessary in these days of the forward pass and onside kicking, proves his FOUR-E-LEVEN FORTY-FOUR X-Y-Z. value to his team. His kicking is unusual for a boy of his weight. The forward pass is difficult to execute, though it may look simple from the side lines, but its perfect execution is only brought by long and hard practice, in which every man has some little deception duty to perform, and in that, Pollard has always given a most excellent account of himself. Lane had a few more men on their team like McDonnell, the captain, and Pollard, there is no doubt in my mind, but what they would have won the championship. Pollard has a reputation for his eti-like way of getting through the opposing team's defense when carrying the ball and that reputation is respected by all the high school football players. He is a sure tackler and in short has all the earmarks, so to speak, of a great future. whatever university he attends, Coach Lamar, as assistance, the head coach at Lamar, the season, for that reason, largely, I regret that Lamar did not win the championship. Alexander, the star left, tackle on the University of Iowa team, is considered one of the best and surest tackles in the west, and he seldom fails to get his man. He is fast and quick-sighted, one of the features of a star tackle. He is always sure of a gain when called on to carry the ball. His defense work is one of the features of every game he plays.

You are invited to be present. The banquet given Grace's baseball team, the champions of 1911, on the 13th inst., was one of the best and most interesting affairs ever given the young people of the church since its founding. The colors of red, white and blue were the decorations and the brilliantly lighted lecture room where the board was spread told of untold joy to the 75 or more that throughed the hall. Two songs written by Chas. W. Pierce, Supt., rang with telling force in the hall. Mr. Robert Elliott, who played on a team with President Taft and a member of Grace, prepared the sumptuous repast for the boys and their lady escorts. The speakers whose names did not appear on the program were Dr. Geo. C. Hall, who spoke on manager of the game; Hon. W. H. A.

The superintendent in Sunday School has assigned to me the very pleasant task of leading the word of welcome to this function. I hope do not need to assure you of all of us striven at all times to make you welcome all of us amongst us; and I can think of no reason why you should have ever felt otherwise. All that is needed here tonight is to speak of the blessings that I can give as the leader and representative of this church, to whose But you have even done better than win your field of behavior. From all quarters I have heard with high praise of you, of your kindness and kindness in your anxiety to win, you did not forget yourselves. You doubtless had to learn to be kind and to be kind in lustful and wrong, but you did not cherish the spirit of becoming more and more out into a flame of unseemly and devouring and wrong decisions in the confidence that the right would ultimately win, and your kindness and kindness in this another form of faith in God. The Bible says "Mightier is he that ruleth his people. The people of this church, both officers and members, in common with the people allowing and encouraging you to use our name we entrusted our honor to you, and you have entrusted our honor to you, like real base ball men; and so you have reflected honor upon our Sunday School, and your kindness and kindness are entitled to, and we offer you, our greetings, and a place in all our work. For (may I be entirely frank with you) you possess a will with which you as an base ball champions and as heroes in the realm of moral conduct, we desire still more, to hall you as Christian gentlemen and workers in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, the finest gentleman and the noblest hero the world has known.

During the twenty years Rev. Carey's charges have been Bethel, Athens, Ga., Mt. Zion, Jacksonville, Fla., Quinn Chapel, Bethel and Institutional churches, Chicago. This testimonial of esteem to this popular divine and foremost worker for his race was the means of bringing out a larger number of prominent men of both races than has been seen in Chicago in a long time. Although not the honored ones, Senator Lorimer and Congressman Martin B.

Chicago.—The market quotation on gall stones remains at $100 a pound at the stock yards here, where the article is sold as Chinese devil chasers. A. J. Little, head of the selling department of one of the large meat packing firms, said his concern marketed about eight or nine pounds a year from the cattle slaughtered. Some of them are as big as walnuts, but most of them are no bigger than peas. They are light and few beavers have any. All of them are bought by Japanese, who won't use them. They ship them back to Japan to be manufactured for the Chinese trade. The Chinese, beset by devils, carries a piece of carved gall stone in his pocket. He believes no power can withstand the gall stone once it has been fashioned into a sufficiently terrible shape. Headless, Man Runs Fifty Feet. Headless, Man Runs Fifty Feet.

"Spotting" by Camera. At present the fall of the shots in target practice is observed from the tops of the cage masts of our battleships and cruises; the "spotter" noting through his glasses whether the shot falls short or over, or has a deflection to right or left. Lieutenant Commander Cleland Davis has invented a method of spotting by the aid of the camera. The spash is photographed and in a few seconds the negative is developed. The necessary corrections in the range and deflection are then made and it is stated that the operations are so speedy that there is no delay as compared with the present methods of spotting.—Scientific American.

Fifty Thousand DURING the past year and a half as a result of my fight for lower prices and greater for lower prices and against extravagance in funeral services, I have saved the colored people of Chicago thousands of dollars. Before my advent into this war, widows and bereaved relatives were burdened with enormous exorbitant funeral bills. To remedy this condition I have waged a lone fight with great success. I have been encouraged by the support and co-operation of many of our best people, besides earning the thanks and good-will of grief-stricken relatives, to whom I have given service at a reasonable price. I have been censured and criticized by some misinformed persons for my attitude and position, but I have done "The greatest good for the greatest number," with regard to the "Other Fellow." Excellence in Service I have strived to make my service perfect in every detail.

The pastor was very agreeably surprised on the evening of his birthday, Nov. 19, by a band of members and friends. Mrs. Fannie Ellison delivered an address in keeping with the occasion. She assured the pastor that he was not forgotten. Her remarks were pointed and convinced her hearers that she was not only in earnest, but that she represented an earnest band of people. The pastor responded the best he could, assuring the friends of his appreciation of their loyalty and inviting them to return again. After the party was over the pastor and family rejoiced over the abundance of good things which the friends had left. --- The Alliance was well attended Monday, but the reports were below the ordinary.

That America will send abroad an athletic team that will sweep the boards at the Olympic games at Stockholm next summer is the prediction of all followers of sport. According to the plans of the American Olympic committee the athletes who will carry the stars and stripes in the battles for world honors will be the greatest aggregation of champions eve-gathered together. That a small army will make the trip is evident from the enthusiasm displayed in all parts of the country since the call for $50,000 was made by the Olympic committee. In this city several thousand dollars have been subscribed already and in Chicago, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Portland, Ore., plans are under way to add thousands to help defray the expenses of the team. It is the intention of the American committee to have every section of the country represented—north, south, east and west. AMHERST TO GET NEW FIELD Memorial to "Old Doc Hitchcock" Planned at Cost of $10,000—To Have Concrete Pergola. Amherst's memorial to "Old Doc Hitchcock," of the class of 1849, who was a pioneer in physical education among colleges, is to be a $50,000 athletic field, contributed by under- graduates and alumni. No intercollegiate contests will be held on the field, but there will be forty acres divided into soccer, baseball, la crosse and football practice grounds, tennis and handball courts, a quar- ter-mile cinder path and pits for trap shooting and perhaps a baseball cage. A large tract between the Central Vermont and Boston & Mafne railroad tracks has been selected and will be graded in three terraces. Surmounting the whole is to be a concrete pergola, from which a view of the entire field can be had. In winter the second terrace is to be flooded, making an artificial skating pond and toboggan slide. New Golf Champion. Harold H. Hilton, now the holder of the amateur golf championships of Great Britain and the United States, began playing the game as soon as he could toddle. He was six years old when he held his first driver and took twenty shots on one hole. Even then he felt himself held by the game. Walking one shot hole was almost enough for him. Now he plays thirtysix a day without being worried or fatigued. By the time Hilton was ten he played a fair game, good enough to beat that of President Taft now. Before Hilton was sixteen he began winning tournaments. He knew then that each shot counts, studied the lie of the ball and the club to use. He now is forty-two years old, and recently in England was only one stroke behind Harry Varden in the contest for the championship of the world, which also is open to amateurs. Brilliant Quarter Returns Jerry Warner, quarter-back of the Missouri valley championship Nebraska football eleven, and unanimous choice for valley quarter last fall, has come back to the fold and Cornhusker prospects for this season have gone up. Phone 3499-R CHANGES IN FOOTBALL New System of Coaching Gives Many Players Chance. Old Machine Gives Place to Squad Capable of Experimental Shifts in Course of Game—Eleven is Made More Plastic. Football coaching has undergone as radical a change in the last few years as has the game itself, and nothing exemplifies this so much as the methods in vogue in the middle west. There is less change in the east, for eastern elevens are so hedged about with their traditions and "coaching systems" that reform is hard to accomplish with the big teams of the district, and as the smaller schools, as a general rule, follow the example of the larger the change is less apparent than in the district known to western followers of the game as the conference district. The conference district does not mean the conference itself, but the territory influenced by that body, which may be summed up as the states of Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska. Schools of the Missouri valley conference follow the example set by the older and more powerful "big eight," while most of the minor schools in that territory follow the larger. In no school is the change in coaching more apparent than in an institution no longer membered among the conference. The change in Michigan's coaching has been thorough and the work of Yost there in the last few years has been about as different from that used previous to 1905 as night is from day. That the change is for the better is shown by the increase in strength of the Wolverine teams toward the close of the season and the bringing out of stars. Even in the palmiest days of Michigan's "steam roller" Yost never was able to get more than one man on an All-American football eleven in any one year. Last season Yost had two men, Benbrook and Wells, neither of whom would have had much better than an outside chance of making the all star team under the old system of coaching. In the years when beef and brawn constituted the greatest qualifications for a player the Michigan eleven often was formed after the first or second game of the season and there was little chance for a man who had not secured a place up to that time, to get into any of the later games unless one of the "regulars" was benched by injury. Everything was concentrated upon eleven men and the whole work was bringing these men to working as a unit. Little account was taken of substitutes and, as a consequence, the team obliged to put in fresh men at any stage of the game labored under a disadvantage rather than an advantage. From the start of the season the cry was "score, score" and Yost earned the appellation of "Hurry Up" in those days by his ability to keep his men running up and down the field against opponents, often piling up scores of a hundred or more points against his early season opponents. Indeed, the cry for big scores was such that a Michigan team which failed to score more than fifty points against its early season opponents was counted a failure. This was not confined to Michigan by any means, for all schools in the conference at that time were score mad, but Yost seemed to possess the faculty of getting higher scores against his opponents than did any of his rival mentors in the big nine. CAPTAIN BUSER 1910 Trick Plays the Thing. Up-to-date tricks on the gridiron, instead of the old-style tactics, will win games in the opinion of A. A. Stagg, coach of the University of Chicago. After he had analyzed the scores the other day he made the prediction that old-style tactics would not be likely to land any team on top. He attributed the good scores of some of the eastern teams to the presence of first-class stars and the caliber of the beaten teams, but declared that old-fashioned football would be relegated to the discard later in the season when the championship contenders get together.

Miss Importance of 9th and Engleside By Ananias - Scrumptious Social Success -Green's Gorgeous Gathering - Music, Mirth, Melange - By Julius N. Avendorph, Society Editor of the "Defender." "You know if a person makes a success in life," said Oscar D Priest, "every town in the county sets up the claim that he was born there. While I don't consider making half a million in the real estate business last week anything to boast of, or the fact that President Taft last July made me a Knight of the Fourth, but a number of cities have claimed me. For instance, Junction Center and Bienville, two rival towns, have been arguing about my birthplace for more than ten minutes. The Junction Center people claim I was born in Bienville and the Bienville people claim I was born in Junction Center. Gee, it's great to be great. There is an old saying that it isn't the clothes that makes a man, but to every rule you will always find some exception. Will Adams, the "Justright" tailor, cites the following case which proves that clothes not only make the man, but makes the man make money. A son of Ham who had just strolled in from the south, came into Will's place a few weeks ago and asked the loan of a needle and thread. He was as ragged as a buzzard and there was a question in Will's mind as to whether it was a little dipy or not. As he sat, there stitching away he confided to Will that he was a son of a great African prince and was on his way to Washington with valuable papers, etc., from his tribe, when he was kidnapped and taken to a cellar on the west side and there robbed of all his belongings. He could not go farther owing to his attire, but if he could only get a suit of clothes covered with gold tape and brass buttons he would make the one who aided him immensely wealthy when he heard from father. He gave as proof of his identity a tattooed chicken on the back of his neck. Will fell for his line of heated atmosphere, fixed him up an old 5th Regiment suit and slipped him enough to get to Washington. Ten days later the postman handed Will a large package bearing the government stamp, dated at Washington. Kindness is always rewarded sooner or later. He opened the package, his hands trembling with delight, and beheld an envelope full of seeds labeled "Forget no nots." WALTERS A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. Despite the cold wave the services at this church were well attended and two new members were received. Sunday is Woman's Missionary Day. The Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society, Mrs. H. J. Callis, president, will have charge of the services all day. At 11 a. m. Rev. H. J. Callis, the pastor, will preach a special sermon to the women. At 3 p. m. the missionary sermon will be delivered by Mrs. Nora F. Taylor. Mrs. India Smith presiding. At 7:45 p. m. a regular missionary program of several numbers will be rendered. Mrs. W. H.

The Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society will serve a splendid dinner in the vestry of the church from 1 to 6 p. m. A very delightful session of the Forum was held on last Tuesday evening. The Standard Literary Society of the Olivet Baptist church did itself great credit in the rendition of a splendid program. The Forum will meet as usual next Tuesday. A good program will be rendered. Sudden End of Aged Palr Two old folks at Gympie, Queensland, Australia, died with pathetic sadness a few days ago. When Arthur Morgan, aged seventy years, saw fire break out at some of his farm fencing, he excitedly ran to extinguish it, but after hurrying a few paces, the old man dropped dead. His aged wife ran to see what had happened, but the shock of finding him dead was too much for her, and she too dropped lifeless close to her husband's body. Possibilities of Sakhalin.

Mr. Fred Adams, who is learning the undertaking business under Mr. Dan Jackson, returned home Thursday from a visit to Mr. Emanuel Jackson's farm at Montague, Mich., bringing samples of potatoes than run ten to a bushel.

Those present were Messurs. W. P. Bell, "Doo" Smith, Joe Sheo craft, Wm. Owens, W. Carroll, W. W. Johnson, Rush Yerb, S. G. Harris, Jake Parks and Oscar De Priest. In the Toils There certainly were flaws somewhere in the screens. As Mrs. Stebleton waved distractedly at the buzzing pests that were interfering with the reading of her morning mail she calculated that the she must be at least a thousand files in the flat. And Mrs. Stebleton hates a fly as she hates a rattlesnake. "I simply cannot stand this!" she cried in wrath. So she went to the phone and ordered sent over at once a quantity of sticky fly paper. When it came she hated to spoil the looks of the place, but desperate measures were imperative. The yellow sheets were scattered about the rooms. Then Mrs. Stebleton hung around counting the first unwary victims and rejoicing as she checked them off. Presently she got dressed and went out to a luncheon and shopping with a friend. When she came back she hoped that the last of the invaders would have buzzed out his final protests on the sticky fly paper. Hilda, the mild, some hours later bore an armful of freshly ironed sheets and towels as she tramped heavily down the hall to the linen closet. Then she dropped her burden with a thump on a convenient table. When in the course of putting them away she came to the last sheet something seemed wrong with it. Hilda investigated and then she said: "My land!" One of the pieces of fly paper was immovably glued to the under side of the sheet. With mutterings of disgust, Hilda peeled off the sheet and towish it out in the bath tub. Her efforts proved so her how very useless it was for a fly to try to get away when once he got stuck to the sticky stuff. The fly paper she removed from its dangerous position on the table, and after amlessly looking around for an out of the way place, deposited it upon the topmost sofa pillow on the library couch. Linda Stebbleton, aged 16, arrived home from school a little later, bringing with her three girls. They burst in with a gust of chatter and distributed themselves through two rooms recklessly. Thereupon simultaneously arose wild shrieks. Guest No. 1 had planted her elbow on one sheet of fly paper and her endeavors to remove it glued it firmly to her other hand. Guest No. 2 had leaned back her head and brought down a sheet hanging over the edge of a bookcase. Four puffs seemed inextricately attached to its surface. Guest No. 3 was trying to remove a sheet from Linda's back. After the excitement had cooled down a trifle Linda gazed upon the fly paper with hostile eyes. "Mother must have put that horrid stuff around!" she said. "I suppose she saw a fly. You'd think that one fly was a regiment from the way she acts. Now, where can we put the awful stuff?" They prowled around with the sticky paper gingerly held between their thumbs and fingers and finally arranged it to suit themselves. Then they devoted an hour to soap and alcohol in an endeavor to rid themselves of the general stickiness. "Tod" Stebleton, aged eight, joined the procession when he rushed in and sat down with a bounce on a sheet that had slid into a chair. His objects were violent and acrid and it took the efforts of his sister and the other three girls combined to calm him. Taking the fly paper in no gentle hand, Tod hurled it out of his way. Stebleton himself arrived home before his wife. "What's this? What's this?" he demanded in his nervous way, placing an investigating finger on the pale yellow sheet on the hall stand. It stuck. The other hand stuck, too, when he hastily endeavored to get it off. His son and daughter hastened to his rescue, explaining that doubtless mother had been waging war against her enemies, the files. When Mrs. Stebleton came in, tired, she was full of apologies for her lateness, she explained as she tossed off her hat and her gloves and coat. "I'm simply dead!" she ended. "I've just got to rest a few minutes before I dress for dinner!" Then she threw herself among the pillows on the library couch. But not for long. From Mrs. Stebleton's appearance as she scrambled to her feet wildly after a horrified instant it seemed that Linda and her three friends, Tod and Stebleton all had followed Hilda's example in choosing the sofa pillows on that couch as a safe place to stow the sticky sheets of fly paper out of the way. Every last one of them was plastered on Mrs. Stebleton! On the Nursery Menu Little sicknesses due to unwise feeding sometimes develop into troublesome maladies, and parents do well to watch, during the autumn especially, that injudicious treatment does not give rise to stomach complications in the case of young children. Contrary to the general ideas, too much milk is not good, and should not be given promiscuously; there are many occasions upon which water is to be preferred, but cold water must not be given to an overheated child. A little barley water in milk will make the digestion assimilate it more easily and prevent vomiting and billiousness, and many children like and can with benefit be given buttermilk. Utilizing Intellect and Reason We have intellect—we possess reason. Let us, therefore, make these two servants work to discover for us the true way whereby we may scale the heights and plumb the depths of understanding, so that we may reach that summit of attainment which is ours by divine right, and where dark, loathsome pessimism has no place. A Cinch. "How did he manage to get elected by such a large majority?" "He told the voters he was a pied-fetish stalwart." HIS VALUABLE ASSETS TRIBUTE OF WIDOW TO LARGE "BONDHOLDER IN HEAVEN." Charity, Love, Joy and Simple Goodness the Pure Gold of Life Possessed by Aged Minister Who Died Recently. "Every year he invested not less than twelve hundred dollars in charity, and invested it so secretly, so inflexibly and so honestly that he was never suspected of being a philanthropist, and never praised for his generosity. "He pensioned an old, outcast woman and a disabled veteran soldier. "He sent two little negro boys to school, and for three years supported a family of five persons who could not support themselves. "He contributed anonymously to every charity in the city. Every old maid interested in a 'benevolent object' received his aid; every child that he knew exacted and received penny tolls from his tenderness. "He supported with encouragement and affection the heart of every man who confided in him. He literally did forgive his enemies, and he was ever one of the largest bondholders in heaven." These words were written of an aged minister who died not long ago. The writer was his widow, who, in the remarkable document quoted above, thus names the assets which her husband accumulated during a long life of toll and of riding the circuit. As for money on hand at the time of his death, he had two dollars and thirty-five cents in his purse and one hundred and sixteen dollars in the bank. In addition, he had a few books, and a coffin in which to be buried. This is the inventory of the estate of a rich man. The few dollars in the bank did not constitute his wealth. The real wealth of the man consisted of things that could not be bought or sold or deposited in a bank. They greatly err who suppose this man to have been poor. He lived rich in the experiences that brought joy to many hearts; he died rich in accumulations of goodness and unstinted affection. There are various measures of wealth, none of them wholly false. Money has its value, and it is an important value. Money is like a storage battery, for it enables a man who has ten dollars to do instantly five men's work for a day. It is folly to despise money, or to talk as if it ought to be disregarded. But the wealth in the world is not all to be measured in terms of money, nor is it capable of being purchased with money. Love, joy, simple goodness are the pure gold of life, and are the assets that underlie the investments of all those who are "bondholders in heaven." One who has been a friend to little children, who has pitted the poor, cared for the widow and the orphan, given freely and unostentatiously to the extent of twelve hundred dollars a year, who dies with his debts paid, and who leaves behind him two dollars and thirty-five cents in cash and one hundred and sixteen dollars in the bank, has lived well and dies rich. Carries Individual Beer Glass "A glass of beer, bartender, and here's my own glass! None of those others for mine!" With these words a well known exsalonkeeper ordered a drink, and at the same time drew a medium-sized shell glass from his coat pocket. The bartender's surprise was so great he nearly dropped to the floor, and the customers gaped with wide open mouths, while the hangers-on fell back against the wall. "Fill 'er up again, bartender!" said the antiseptic man. Just before starting to do as commanded, the bartender made for the water trough to rinse the glass. "No, you don't, bartender; hold on there! That glass is not to rinsed, the 'ant' further spake. Well, this was almost the limit, but the bartender checked the hand that was making for the water trough and gulped it to be beer spigot. He filled it up and set it on the bar, after which he hurried away, forgetting to get his money. He was too confused. This man has been carrying his own glass for two years now, and when one breaks or gets smashed in his pocket he buys another—Baltimore Sun. Fashlone In Tombstones "There are fashions in tombstones, just the same as in hats and clothes," said a monument worker, "and even if they don't change quite as often we have to keep up with them. A few years ago broken columns were all the go, and we had our hands full executing such orders. Then came the St. Andrew's cross. It is shaped like an X, and most of our orders ran to that sort of cross. "Now the Celtic cross is in vogue, and it is quite the proper thing to have put on your monument. They offer a considerable field for decoration and traceries, but I suppose they will have their run and something new will come in. Ah experienced tombstone maker can tell approximately when a monument was put up without looking at the date on it, if he has kept up with the fashions." Not a Spendthrift. In the state of Georgia lives a banker who is known behind his back as the Human Safety Clutch. He has been accused of being nearly everything except a spendthrift. He lives a mile from town on a plantation. One Sunday he remembered that he had left some important papers on his desk, and he gave an aged negro servitor on the place his keys and sent him for the documents. It was a hot day and the road was dusty, but in an hour the old darker returned with the papers intact. The owner felt in all his pockets. "That's too bad Uncle Jim," he said finally; "I thought he had a nickel here I was going to give you." "Marse Henry," said Uncle Jim, "you look again. If ever you had a nickel you got it yit"—Saturday Evening Post. "No," said the little stenographer, thoughtfully, as she carefully placed the stamp in the corner of the last envelope and then stacked the day's mail. "It isn't that I'm unwilling or anything like that. I like to do things for people occasionally as well as the next one. But if I do it for one I do it for a dozen, for I can't be partial. I hate to, but I'll have to put my foot down and decline to do favors." The bookkeeper looked up in surprise. "Why—what's—" he began, wonderingly. "Well," explained the little stenographer, "just Sunday I took dinner with a friend of mine and during the afternoon she asked if I'd do just a tiny favor for her. She had some programs for her club that she was to make, and it was so hard for her to write them by hand. Besides, her handwriting was dreadful, so would I just as soon run them off on my typewriter? What could I say after eating my dinner? So I've been devoting my noon hours, besides getting down early mornings this whole week, to running off these simple little programs. "Then, when I could breathe freely, as I saw the end of the programs coming into view, my friend called me up and asked me if I'd look to see that Mrs. Breusscott's name was spelled right. She was almost sure she had written it 'w' instead of 'u'. And she had—so I rewrote that page of every one of the programs. "When I finally delivered them she was delighted. She said they were so lovely that she knew the club would always want her to get them up every year, and wasn't it nice that she had a friend who was willing to do a little favor for her once in a while? "Then, while I was still cramped with the extra work of the programs, another friend called me up. She said she wanted a copy of a certain song, containing about 40 verses, and she couldn't get it except in book form, and she didn't want to go to that expense, so would I just as soon run over some noon and copy it off in short hand? It would take her so long to write it in regular longhand and it wouldn't take me a minute, she was sure; "Of course, I did as she requested, I waited around the store half an hour, looking for some one who would be willing to let me copy the song. Then all the time I was copying it the man ager stood in front of me and glared at me, for fear I'd run away with the book, I suppose. It was such a pleasant experience! "Then that friend of mine called me up late in the afternoon, just as I was getting ready to leave the office, to ask me if I'd just as soon make her three copies of the song—I'd already made one copy with a carbon—for she wanted to send away two copies. So I sat down and wrote them off and mailed them. "Oh, yes, she appreciated it very much. Any time I want to go anywhere, she says—pityingly, for my lack of a regular man escort—she'll be glad to go with me if her husband is out of town, so she can leave home!" "This morning, while the manager was dictating a very important letter, the phone rang. He looked so expe- perated, while I took down from the phone, at the request of this same friend, details of just how many yards of lace and just what pattern to get and what price she wanted to pay and which store to visit to look at the white sweaters that were selling at $5 and to see if they were really a bargain, and if they were, to have one sent out and pay for it and she'd repay me. Since then I have been trembling every time my buzzer rings for fear the manager is calling me to tell me that my services aren't needed any longer. "By the time I finished her little erands my whole noon hour was gone and I'm as hungry as a bear now, for I haven't had a bite since breakfast." "I don't blame you a little bit." said the bookkeeper, sympathetically. "It's a shame the way people impose on others, never dreaming that they're asking anything out of the ordinary. Why don't you tell them that you're too busy? I'd never stand for such impositions." The little stenographer beamed at him—it was good to have some one understand! "Oh, by the way," he interrupted her as she said good night. "Would you just as soon stop in on your way to the station and send some cut flowers—pick out anything you think would go well with a pink outfit? My sister asked me to do it and I didn't have time this noon. I'll pay you tomorrow, when you know what the price is." "Oh, of course," replied the little stenographer, weakly. "I'll be glad to." Benefit in Adversity Adversity frequently develops beauties of the heart just as the night brings out the stars. The pilot could not steer his ship without the pressure of the waves upon the rudder; the bird could not fly but for the resistance of the air against its wings; thus we often seem retarded by what in truth helps us on. Trouble, to a good heart, is like fermentation to the juice of the grape. It works itself clear and leaves nothing but the pure wine. Differing Terms for Colns 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.

RACE MAKING GREAT PROGRESS. By Turner Tandy. By Special Correspondent of Chicago Defender. Toledo, Ohio, Nov. 16.—The Little Helper's band of the Friendship Sunday school gave a novel entertainment at the home of Mrs. Stephen Ross, 618 Indiana avenue, Nov. 10th. A trip around the world on the 15th was given by the Fin de Cycle Club and netted a neat sum for the rally to pay off the debt on the temple. Dinner will be served by the Y. W. Club at the Third Baptist church on Thanksgiving day. A plan is on foot to open a religious campaign in this city. The services of Prof. E. W. Curry and Dr. W. O. Harper have been secured by Rev. J. C. Taylor and they will open the campaign Nov. 19th. Mrs. Charles Brown, who was quite ill for several weeks, is much improved. Mrs. Scott Buckner was ill last week. The Y. W. Club met Wednesday afternoon with Miss Birdie Taylor. Mr. Richard B. Harrison, a reader of great note, gave a recital at Warren A. M. E. church Thursday evening. Clarence Cameron White, a violinist of great note, supported by Prof. Harry A. Williams, Cleveland's foremost tenor soloist, and by Finnyc's Orchestra of Detroit, will give a concert at Zenobia Hall Monday evening under the auspices of the Boston Entertainment Bureau. Mrs. Mary Winburn, who went to Richmond, Ind., on account of the illness of her daughter Marie, reports finding her much improved. Everett Gatliff left last Saturday night to join the band traveling with "The Old Cross Roads Co." Mr. Clarence Fralme, who is a member of the Toledo High school football team, was mentioned very highly in the sporting column of the News Bee and the Morning Times for his excellent defense work in the game between Toledo High and Detroit University. The score was Toledo 5. Detroit 0. Mr. Fralme speaks in the highest terms of his white team mates. MR. GEORGE V. A. BROWN ELEC TROCUTED. Gary, Ind., Nov. 17.—The many friends of Mr. George Verwil. A. Brown will be shocked to leap the serious accident which occurred to him Friday evening, November 0, at the plant of the Illinois Steel company, Gary, Indiana. Mr. Brown, he is inspector of lights and machinery for the big steel corporation, was making his usual round of duty when the grounding of a heavily charged cable caused the accident. The timely assistance of Tony Euban (white), a helper, availed what might have been a fatal accident. Mr. Brown has been employed by the Illinois Steel Company since February of this year and by his knowledge of electricity has won for himself several promotions. Immediately after the accident Mr. Brown was removed to the Gary Hospital and later was brought to 3435 Wahnhaven, where he is slowly recovering. Mr. Brown will be better known to the public as the son-in-law of Rev. E. J. Fisher of Olvet Baptist church. BETHEL LITERARY CLUB HONORS THE LATE CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN M. HARLAN. The memorial meeting held at Bethel Church last Sunday under the auspices of the Bethel Literary Club was a success. The addresses for the occasion were delivered by Hon. W. G. Anderson and Editor S. B. Turner. The program Sunday will be furnished by the University Club. Meeting at 4 o'clock.

MOTT'S PEKIN THEATRE. Commencing Monday night the attraction for the entire week will be the original musical, comedy, "The Hottest Coon in Dixie," supplemented with an entirely new musical score. So much has been seen at this popular theatre from time to time that it was no easy matter for the management to secure such an attraction as this well known comedy. It will also inaugurate the first road show that has ever been booked at this house. The present show was organized in Boston, Mass., last September, and has been playing ever since, not missing a single performance. This large company has played all the best two and three-night stands on the circuits Mr. G. R. THE MUSICIAN Mr. G. R. Garner, Jr. and comes to the Pekin with the best of endorsements from the leading papers of the country. Foremost among the fun makers is that young transatlantic comedian, Mr. Harry Morgan, who is the perfection of the new school of negro comedy. Mr. Bud Halliday is of that intelligent class that is able to get so much comedy from Mr. Morgan. Miss Alna Richardson, a graduate from a Boston conservatory, is another bright magnet in her character of the heiress shows her refined training. Viola Harris, another sprightly miss who has a charming voice and is nimble of foot. Mr. Otis Benson, as Dan Bum, the actor, shows great ability as a legitimate. The large chorus of pretty maidens shows them to be the singiest and dancest girls in the musical shows. The chorus has been well trained under the personal direction of Mr. Irvin Richardson and Mr. Will Carrington. Another strong feature in connection with this mammoth company is Mr. Alex. Wheeler's Rag Time Band, which will give a street parade daily through the principal streets, also open air concert each night in front of the theatre. No advance in prices. Secure your seats in advance. Mr. George R. Garner, Jr., returned some last Tuesday evening after an absence of six weeks, during which time he gave twenty recitals, four concerts and sang in six oratorios, all conducted by white people. This success was phenomenal as usual. Below is an excerpt from the Grand Rapids Evening Press: "Mr. George R. Garner, Jr., captivated his audience last night at Congregational church. His wonderful, dramatic voice, full and resonant, has left a deep impression here, and his return here in March will be greeted with much pleasure."

This philosophy of health may be summed up in three words: "Work, wash and pray." The greatest blessing that man enjoys—as is realized—is his ability and opportunity to work. Habits of personal cleanliness elevate and civilize man. The firm holding of a faith that urges man to pray builds character and forms habits that lead him to high places of thought and endeavor.

Hoosier German Settlement In Which a Wooden Shoe Factory Has Been Conducted for More Than Forty Years. Huntingburgh, Ind.-In the town of Ferdinand, this county, many of the older generation of Germans wear wooden shoes. Clemens Luecken of Ferdinand is a master carver of wooden shoes and his tiny shop is the mecca for Germans in quest of forest footwear. Dubois county is overwhelmingly German and many of the customs of "der waterland" are observed with as much fervor as though Dubois county were actually ruled by the kaiser. One of the customs in voguat Ferdinand is the wearing of wooden shoes and for more than forty years Clemens Luecken has conducted a wooden shoe factory in the little town. Not for one moment in all that time has Clemens Luecken allowed the leather trust to worry him. The soaring price of shoe leather has no terrors for Mr. Luecken. As long as birch and poplar timber can be secured "Der Holtzzehmumach" will never care a rap whether Uncle Sam corners the leather trust or the leather trust corners Uncle Sam. Leather is an unknown quantity with Mr. Luecken. He specializes in the manufacture of wooden shoes and the fact that he has been engaged in the business for more than forty years proof enough that the demand for wooden shoes is pretty steady and that Clemens Luecken delivers the goods. The shop wherein Mr. Luecken has worked at his trade for so many years is situated on a hill overlooking the little town of Ferdinand. The build- A man stands in front of a wooden house. ing is a low frame structure 12 feet square and occupies a site in the corner of the garden adjoining his home. The little building is well supplied with light there being three windows, a door and a skylight. The floor of the shop is covered with wood chips. Tools such as are used by a skilled wood carver hang in orderly fashion about the walls. In one corner of the room stands a very small stove. His work bench in another corner consists of a six-foot log some 10 or 12 inches in diameter resting on four sticks of wood. In the center of this rudely constructed work bench is a groove. One cannot but admire the skill of the old German when he first shapes a block of wood to conform to the foot. He holds the block of shoe wood on a large oak block and wields a keen edged hatchet with a degree of accuracy that is amazing. Wood chips fly in all directions with each stroke of the hatchet. Gradually the block of wood assumes the form of a shoe. The block is then placed in the groove and an auger-like tool is used in boring out the interior of the shoe. The boring process continues until the interior is rounded out to conform to the shape of the foot. After the interior and exterior of the shoe are smoothed out it is ready for the wearer. The shoes are made according to the length and breadth of the foot as computed by inches. The host of patrons whom Luecken supplies with wooden shoes every year includes men, women and children. In price the shoes range from 45 to 65 cents. Shoes made of birch come higher because they last longer than those made of poplar and other wood. Luecken can turn out several pairs a day. In addition to supplying the regular channel of trade he sells hundreds of wooden shoes to visitors who buy them as souvenirs. Luecken says that the young American has never formed the habit of wearing wooden shoes—the young American prefers tight fitting shoes made of leather and the painful corns that go, with them. The feet of those who wear wooden shoes are never deformed by corns, bunions, etc. If Luecken does not have your size shoe in stock and you are in a hurry he sends you to one of the general stores in Ferdinand, where you can make your selection from a large stock. He supplies the merchant with their stock of wooden shoes. It is a very common sight in Ferdinand to see a patron of Mr. Luecken drive into town wearing a pair of wooden shoes. They come from all parts of Dubois county. Bride's Plea Opens Jail Kansas City, Mo.—Harry Van Warlinga has been paroled after serving half of a six months' jail sentence for petty lacey and is now with his young wife whom he married a few months ago when released from the Missouri penitentiary. Their courtship began while Mrs. Van Warlinga, then Miss Faskins, was a clerk in the office of Secretary of State Roach and attended religious services at the penitentiary chapel. Hangs Self With Shoestring. Galesburg, ill.—Mrs. Josephine Munson, a widow, 74 years old, committed suicide by hanging herself with a shoestring. Cheaper to. Save.Than. to. Bury. It is now said to be $15 cheaper to save a baby in New York than to bury one, and the economic argument in favor of the former policy seems conclusive.

San Salvador is perhaps the most interesting historical point on the American side of the world, as it is the island upon which Columbus first landed. Yet it has lost its name. In view of the history not only of the Bahamas group, but of the American continents as well, it is far from surprising that the identity of the famous island should have been long lost; or that the re-identification should have been delayed until the middle of the last century, when Captain Becher of the British navy, by application of the description, contained in Columbus' journal, to the course from Gomera to the Bahamas, determined clearly that Wattling's island alone met all requirements of the case.
