Turner, the institute chaplain, and Major Robert R. Moton, the school's commandant of cadets and one of Hampton's most distinguished Negro graduates. Co-operation of Chicago. For a number of years Hampton institute has received the co-operation and support of influential Chicago families. A number of Negro boys and girls, for example, are now being assisted by funds which have been thus furnished for their scholarships which Birdse in turn are assigned, according to merit, by the school. Metso A. Burney, Tenville, Ala., has finished his course in agriculture and is now one of the assistants in the horticultural division. He is as "good as gold," his teachers report. David Hill, of Beacon, Ga., spent his work year on the school farm and made a good record. He is now in the Hampton day school getting a foundation for his trade course. Charles C. Miller, of Valdosta, Ga., is a first-year bricklayer. He is a good boy and has done well thus far in his course. Benjamin L. Davis of Palmer Springs, Va., finished his agricultural course and is now an assistant in the school barn. He is good and steady. Vernal S. Brown, of New York city, who took the regular trade course in carpentry, is now studying business methods. Another good boy, who has been assisted by Chicago friends, is James P. King. He is finishing the business course. Results of Hampton's Work. For more than forty years, under the leadership of General Armstrong and Doctor Frissell, Hampton institute has been training selected Negro and Indian youth for efficient, Christian leadership in agriculture, in industrial education, in business, in homebuilding, in improving church and home life, in public school work. Hampton has sent out over eight thousand people "fitted for life." This number includes one thousand two hundred and forty-eight Indians. Hampton has always emphasized the importance of self-sacrifice and service. Indeed its students have lived for others. Throughout the south and west, especially, there are communities that have been literally reconstructed through the patient, thoughtful, persistent work of Hampton graduates and ex-students. Dr. Frissell, in his annual report to the trustees for 1911, cites the interesting case of James S. Russell, colored, who at Lawrenceville, Va., as principal of St. Paul's school, "has well high reconstructed the agricultural, industrial, social, religious and moral condition of the Negroes in Brunswick county." "Many of the best buildings in the town of Lawrenceville," he says, "have been constructed by his students; its streets are lighted by electricity generated by his school plant; the most and the best work in blacksmithing, wheelwrighting and sheamaking in the community is performed by students and graduates of his institution. The school farm of fifteen hundred acres has revolutionized the methods of the Negro farmers in the community. Farmers' institutes have encouraged them to buy land and cultivate it properly. In 1910 the Negroes of Brunswick county owned 54,000 acres of land, and real and personal property (Continued on Page 2.) --- --- the Home Edition --- Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of Impton Normal and Agricultural institute, and Major R. R. Moton, commandant there for many years, addressed the Chicago Sunday Evening club at Orchestra hall Sunday night and were rewarded with a crowd that was exceptionally large for this famous organization whose drawing card is the notable orators of both races. It was extremely pleasing to note the large number of Negroes in attendance and the prominent part that the alumnus took in the program. The Hampton quartet, the club's augmented choir and Mrs. Katherine Howard Ward's organ selections made up a varied and enjoyable adjunct. Dr. Frissell, no doubt inspired by the increasing interest in the Hampton work in northern cities, spoke on "Ridical Co-operation." With a master knowledge of the "Negro Indian" work, this broad minded educator discussed the question in that convincing manner that wins interest and oftimes support. Dr. Frissell is considered one of the best authorities upon educational and industrial conditions and has always championed the cause of the Negro in every way. Major R. R. Moton spoke on "Some Phases of the Negro Problem." Although not laying any claim as an orator the popular commander entertained the vast assemblage with the simple story of his race, interspersed here and there with a telling story or anecdote. He was applauded again and again and shared with the distinguished principal all the honors of the evening. Dr. J. anthaniel Butler offered theayer and the scripture reading was by Mr. Abram W. Harris, president of Northwestern University. Mr. R. S. Abbott, editor of the Chicago Defender, occupied a prominent seat upon the stage. The Hampton Quartette, composed of Messrs. J. H.

Harlan, associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, was praised in two memorial meetings Sunday night last, and the large audiences that gathered at the places of meeting, Quinn Chapel and Bethel A. M. E. churches, attested the fact that reverence for men of his calibre is a pleasure. Prominent speakers of both races made up the programs. Singing was also an inspiring feature. At Quinn Chapel the meeting was held under the auspices of a committee of citizens. Hon. E. H. Wright was the chairman. The program follows: Introductory Remarks.... By the Chairman, Hon. E. H.

New Laws to Be Asked—Protection For Old Men Seeking Employment—Will Be Urged On Legislature—The Most Beneficial Aid to Our Unemployed in Many Days. Membership in the Anti-45-Year-Age-Limit league was extended to the Negro race Tuesday night. The plea of a former slave that his fellow sufferers be recognized in the movement to win old men the right to honest employment and be freed from a bondage more cruel than existed in their days of slavery, brought the coalition of races. Mr. J. H. Lawrence of Indianapolis, at the organization meeting of the league, swept aside any possible thoughts of a color line in the organization when he declared the brotherhood of man would be ignored at, the peril of the movement. After listening to old soldiers tell of their inability to serve the government because spurned by civil service commissioners on account of their age, Mr. Lawrence arose and asked permission to speak. "I am for the colored man whom you old soldiers freed by bravery and sacrifice. His plight today is the same as yours," said the speaker, who was educated at Depauw University in Greencastle, Ind., a classmate of ex-Senator Albert J. Beveridge. "You have to recognize the brotherhood of mankind," he almost shouted. "Your politics have placed the Negro in the position he is today. The movement will be useless unless you join hands with your colored brother." Anti-age enthusiasts crowded about him as he closed, assuring him no color line was drawn in the movement.

Commercial Uprightness, Circumscribed Business Conduct, Clean and Fair Dealings the Winning Points in the Business Life of This Firm That Treats All Men Allike—List of Officers and Directors. With "The National Banker" we take pleasure in joining the host which now is paying homage to the commercial uprightness, circumscribed business conduct, clean and fair dealings possessed by one of Chicago's rising young bankers and real estate men in the person of Mr. George F. Leibrandt of the banking firm and realty dealers now doing business under the firm name of W. H. Bowers & Co., located at Thirtyfirst and State streets. Mr. Leibrandt was born Sept. 27, 1877, in Chicago, where he received both his academic and commercial education. He entered the employ of the real estate firm of W. H. Bowers & Co. in a humble capacity, and by his unaided efforts, save those of uprightness, morality, accuracy of judgment and right living and atten- Where Booker T. Washington Was Graduated to business for a period of 18 years he has risen to a place of supreme responsibility in his chosen profession. On the 29th day of July a permit was issued to Mr. Leibrandt and others to organize the Lincoln State Savings Bank of Chicago, capital two hundred thousand dollars and a surplus of twenty thousand dollars. Mr. Leibrandt will no doubt be called to the presidency of the new bank, and with this in view the new bank will be assured of at least the confidence, support and patronage of the best business interests lying within the boundaries of that part of Chicago to be served by the new institution. The organization of the Lincoln State Savings Bank will be pushed to completion, and already options are secured for a permanent home for the bank which will occupy its own building and its departments will include safe deposit vaults with a three thousand five hundred box capacity, a savings department, women's department, foreign exchange, real estate, rending, insurance and legal counsellors. The building to be erected for the new institution will be ample for fostering the rapidly increasing business of the district, will be modern in every respect and will be used exclusively for the business of the bank The move by Mr. Leibrandt and his colleagues was brought about by the fast increasing banking business of W. H. Bowers & Co. and a desire on the part of the principals to induce men of known ability in the banking field into the organization and for the establishment of banking relationships which will be on a par with those of the other high grade banks throughout the city. Following officers and directors elected: George F. Leibrandt, president; Joseph Schwartz, vice president; Wm. H. Bowers, cashier; Harry E. Hobbs, assistant cashier; Wm. H. Bowers, George L.

Bowden, of 4402 Langley avenue, entertained the Ideal Woman's Club, the topic of the evening being "Woman Suffrage," which subject, Mrs. I. B. W. Barnett talked on interestingly, after which it was open for discussion. Each person in the house talked on the subject. Mrs. Jones, the vice president of the State Federation, was present and gave an instructive talk on the "Woman of today." Mrs. Thomas presided at the piano. A PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE COMPANY. The Western Life Indemnity Co., Send Mr. Chas, A. Griffin, Its Dis- agency Manager, to Philadelphia to Establish Office for Race There. The Western Life Indemnity Company of Chicago has sent Chas. A. Griffin, its district agency manager on the South Side, to Philadelphia to establish an office there to be operated and managed by colored agents in conjunction with the white agents in that city. The broad principles of this great company are bound to make it the leading insurance company in America. Not only are they fair in dealing with all nationalities alike, but they do not discriminate against women. Mr. Griffin, with his strong corps of agents, has made wonderful progress here in Chicago. Many of the best citizens are large policy holders. INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH BURNS $6,000 Damage; About $2,000 on Their $8,000 Organ. It was laughable to hear a little newsboy say on Thanksgiving Day while the church was burning and the engines were at work trying to save Rev. Dr. Carey's church at 3821 Dearborn street, "Let her burn; we got our turkey out there last night, all right." Of course they did, for a big spread was laid for them on Wednesday evening. When seen by a Defender reporter Dr. Carey said: "I can't see how the fire started, but the furnace is the only thing that I can attribute the conflagration to. We are insured, and I think it will cover our damages." Children's Page An innovation in the Defender will be the children's page of the Christmas issue of this paper.

Tuesday morning Major R. R. Motton, commandant at the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, who will bg here a week or ten days in the interest of his work, stopped long enough for a brief interview. Still elated over the large audience at Orchestra Hall, Sunday night when Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of the Institute and himself were the speakers before the famous Sunday Evening Club, the major was loud in his praise of Chicago and of the interest in his work here. The Jeanes Fund Board, the million-dollar fund called by some the Anna T. Jeanes foundation for Negro rural schools was what he cared to talk about. "This board is the most remarkable board in America," said the major, "embracing as it does the three most vital questions of the day, The North, the South and the Negro." Meeting at White House. According to the by-laws of the fund the meeting is held once a year. The president of the United States being a member, the date is set to suit his convenience. This year we meet Thursday, Dec. 14. Last night I received letters and telegrams from the following members of the board who will attend this meeting: The president, of course, Mr. Andrew Carnegie, S. C. Mitchell, president of the University of South Carolina, Hon. Geo. F. Peabody, of New York; Hon. Walter Page, editor of The World's Work; Hon. Robert C. Ogden, of New York; J. H. Dillard, of New Orleans; S. Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute; Hon. Geo. McInnery, of New York; Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskogee Institute; Hon. J. C. Napier, registrar of the treasury; Hon. R. L. Smith, of Texas. Eight constitutes a quorum. This meeting will be a good one. New Members to Be Elected. Interest centers in the election at this meeting of a successor to the late Bishop Grant, and the $40,000 or $50,000 interest that has accumulated. Mr. Carnegie says "spend it all, save none." The meeting will be of considerable interest to all concerned. "Who will succeed Bishop Grant?" was the next question. "I-Jcan-not say," replied Major Moton—"but you can quote me as saying 'that the new member will be a Negro to fill up the number generally on the board.'" Officers of Board. Major Moton is the secretary of the board, Hon. J. H. Dillard (white) of New Orleans is president, and Dr. Booker T. Washington chairman of the board of directors. This representative body meets with an eye single to the purpose for which it was created and no member has ever been embarrassed by the contact.

SINGLE TAXERS STAND BY COLORS SINGLE TAXERS STAND BY COLORS Take Banquet From Hotel La Salle When Color Question Arises — Denounce Narrow-Minded Management In Ringing Speeches—Prominent Guests Uphold Stand Against Hotel Barring Negroes. Hon. Joseph Fels, Millionaire Founder of the Fels Fund; Louis F. Post, Editor of "The Public" Around the Festive Board—Action In Strict Violation of the State Laws. Three hundred single tax advocates showed their disapproval of a "color line" at the banquet of the National Single Tax League at the Kimball Cafe, South LaSalle and Monroe streets, Saturday night after the management of the Hotel LaSalle had refused to allow the banquet to be given in that place if negroes were to be present. The applause over the attitude of the speakers reached its climax when Susan Lake Avery, 94 years old, widow of a Peorla manufacturer, addressed the gathering and praised those who declined to recognize racial distinctions. Conference is Removed. The conference of the league with the Fels Fund Commission last night moved from the Hotel LaSalle, where it opened Friday. Louis J. Post, editor of "The Public," began the speaking after the banquet with comments on the reports in the newspapers over the affair at the hotel. "The papers said the hotel management denied it drew the color line," said Mr. Post. "If it is not an error on the part of the management, but an error on the part of the papers, we ought to assist in galuing a correction from the papers. "We were told the hotel people would rather not have Negroes at our meetings in the hotel, but would say nothing about it if they came. However, they said they positively would not allow Negroes at a banquet in the hotel, and asked if we would not request them to remain away. All Men Equal. "We do not draw a color line. We meet all men as men on common level, as I hope to meet every man in this world. We either had to take the onus upon ourselves and tell our colored guests we did not want them to come or get another place to hold the banquet. We got another place. This is the truth of the change." In her speech Mrs. Avery aroused enthusiasm by saying: "I am overjoyed that the attitude has been what it has in this color line controversy."

A trade certifiente 1s given for at- tainment in skill and knowledge, rath- er than for length of service. ‘Through trade teaching Hampton has secured in its students Increased perseverance, exactness, promptness, thoroughness and earnestness. In order to give trade students the hest exnerlence in their work, a cer- tain amount of commercial business is carried on in each department. Dr. Frissell was able to say in his latest report: “The manager of a New York company declared he knew of only oue firm in the United States that Is pro- dnelng as good trucks as the Hampton trade school.” ‘The Week's program of a trade stu dlent is as follows: ‘Trade work, forty- three hours; trade lecture, one hour; drafting, four; academic, ten; study for academic’ work, five; military drill, wo and one-half; compulsory religious services, four and one-half.

Mr. Robert C. Ogden, of New York has sald: “The Hampton spirit is a little hard to define. It is no confes ston of any creed, but there is a dec) spiritual and retigious feeling devel oped at Hampton that makes posses sion richer far than knowledge o} trades and books.” The Hampton boys and girls who have done the best work among their people showed dit: ing their Hampton school days an interest in and sympathy for their people living in the Hampton con munity, Hampton's Needs. Hampton institute is neither a state nor government school, and must de- pend largely upon voluntary contri- butions for its support. , Indeed $125,- 000 must be raised anually in dona- tions for scholarships and general ex- Penses.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1911. Get enough turkey? And the next day it snowed. The careass, to be sure. Pajama parties are the latest society stum. The Choral Study Club scored again; still they always do that. June isn't the only month that captures all the weddings. November, as cold as it has been, isn't far behind. What did you do toward making your poor neighbor's Thanksgiving pleasant? That "it is more blessed to give than receive" is a true saying. Our story of the Jones-Stevens wedding last week was indeed a surprise. Even the "Press Gang" gave us credit for a newsy issue. Oh, you Jolly Bean Eaters, but they went to Dudley later and found in "Dr. Beans from Boston," and found in him "a friend from home." You thought when our reporter ap proached you the other day he was going to ask you to subscribe for the paper. No, gentle reader, he was only going to ask you "What's new?" --- The announcement that the Chicago Defender would have a Children's Page in its Christmas issue has met with considerable favor. Space has been secured by eight or ten fond parents and we advise those who contemplate a "write up" in this unique idea to consult us at once. No doubt the Chicago correspondent of the Indianapolis Plaindealer read Mr. S. Lain Williams' statement in last week's issue of that paper. The Phyllis Wheatley Home and the Frederick Douglass Center are two good and well managed institutions and we are surprised at his mistake. Herman Spalding, chief of the bureau of medical inspection, claims the dress of the women of today has a tendency to deform the most perfect figure. That doesn't mean, however, that they should go back to the Mother Hubbard again. The managers of the La Salle Hotel are liable to be taught a lesson they will remember a long time if they persist in making it unpleasant for a Negro to be served there. The little incident that happened the other day shows that we still have some good and loyal friends among the other race. --- Not only the members of Grace Presbyterian Church but all Chicago should be proud of the record made by that excellent baseball team. Holding the championship in a big city like this means something. Every encouragement should be given them financially and otherwise, and when next season rolls around we want them to again bring home the trophy. "Chicago's citizens of Irish birth or descent are less sensitive or more sensible than those in New York who mobbed the Irish players in Maxine Elliott's theater Monday night on the first production there of "The Playboy of the Western World.""—Daily Paper. The Negro citizens here have always been "sensitive and sensible" but they must be determined and lawful when "The Clansman," "The Nigger" and other objectionable plays are produced here. We trust the managers of the Pelin Theater will give us some of the good old shows of the past. There is every reason to believe the public would generously support this playhouse if the productions warranted it. Since so many of our road shows disbanded there is talent galore. New faces, new ideas and new plays interspersed with the old and tried ones, would mean that Chicago, with its original and only colored playhouse of its size, stood pre-eminent in the show world. There is a tendency to crowd the Negro from the legitimate stage. Whether this is due to prejudice, or whether it is due to the fact that he does not keep abreast of the times, is a question. Very often one hears, "I've seen that team do that same two years ago." This is an age of novelties, and one would think the professional would be the first to real- --- THE PROCLAMATION OF BYGONE DAYS. It is not hard for us to remember the proclamations of recent years, but can we recall the first proclaiming of thanksgiving to our Lord? Some might say, "Why, Thanksgiving has passed, why speak of the proclamator now?" But let us ask, Is it ever past, is it not always our duty to thank God? Man made a special feature of our thanks in commemoration of God's goodness and we herein give to you the first proclamation ever issued: "Therefore I, William Bradford, Governor of Plymouth, say: Through virtue of vested power ye shall gather with one accord and hold in the month of November, Thanksgiving unto the Lord.—William Bradford, Governor of Plymouth, 1621." THINGS I AM THANKFUL FOR. By M. A. Majors, M. D. Evidences of race progress along all lines. The general spirit of race uplift manifested throughout the country. The courage and determination on the part of the race to acquire homes, to educate the ambitious and aspiring youth, to foster the church and all other ennobling forces which challenge the admiration of mankind, and lastly the rapidly growing tendency towards race patronage. In the face of obstruction and the brutal usages of a horrible tyranny we are making rapid strides in every walk of life and in every form a persistent spirit to push forward manifests itself. In public places better conduct. The real manly man and the womanly woman is increasing. Race honor has never been wholly discounted, and our women are getting prettier and the men more debornair. God seems yet to favor us with his beneficent smile. All the prerequisities of a well behaved people seem to be getting under full swing. Nothing in the form of a destructive storm looms upon the horizon of our race hopes, and yet we must not forget that under our feet are the frettful humors of a race prejudice more formidable than armies. We should be thankful for the gradual invasion of science in the field of pestilence and disease, as it is the great white plague, consumption, that raises its awful form alas! too frequently, cutting down our lives just at the period of individual life where manhood and womanhood touches noon. Our friends are not all dead but multiplying. Our enemies are becoming less potent and less boasting, if not fewer in numbers. Ben Tillman is silent, mercenely though paralyzed in the grip of a pernicious helplessness, suffering the "swift and certain condemnation of an avenging God." But while we may transfer our joys and grow eloquent in the use of verbage, there is no race of people under the sun more prayerful or more thankful in the spirit and truth of things than our race, who get so little out of life to be thankful for; and yet it is something to be living in a country like this, with opportunity, some oppression to urge us out of lethargy, some small favors, free to act, and free to will. The civilization can be trusted, if not altogether, in part, to herald the dawn of the brotherhood of man. --- Wise Servant A woman in Trenton, N. J., who has been having a lot of trouble with her domestic help, was obliged recently to accept the temporary service of a raw recruit in the shape of an Irish girl just landed in this country. After a preliminary survey of the girl and a dejected sigh, the lady of the house asked: "What can you do?" "Shure, most anything at all, num," responded the newcomer. The lady of the house glanced about the room. "There was everything to be done. "Could you fill the lamps?" she finally ventured to ask. "Shure, I kin fill the lamps!" exclaimed the enthusiastic Celt, as she grabbed one and started out. Then, with the air of one wishing above all things to suit the possible caprices of a new employer, she paused to query: "An' it is gas or oil yed be wantin' thin filled with?" Brother Dickey Explains "I got no sarmont tme preach to gay," said Brother Dickey. "The last time I put my presence in dis yer yer pulit I preached a sarmont whan wuz so powerful hit son six sisters off in a trance, an' dey dint' come to not yit, causin' de law ter git after me, kaze dey nint' conscious enough ten rise up an' make a livin' fer dey husbands. Tongues er fire come down on me at at dat lume f'um de glory-lan, an' now some er you is cochairable enough ter say dat fer de dire otter scorched me ter a frazzie! Dis is no time fer a powerful preacher tak' me!" —Atlanta Constitution. Karned From House of O Carred From House of Commons. An Irish peer was expelled for directing a lottery, while for organizing a "Charitable Association" of shady habits Sir Robert Sutton and two others were shut out in 1730. Steele of the Tatler was prohibited the house for "mallocously insinuating that the Protestant succession in the house of Hanover is in danger under her majesty's administration." But perhaps the oldest reason for closing the doors of the house of commons upon a man is to be found in the case of Mr. Asgill, whose sin was that of writing a treatise "On the Possibility of Avoiding Death."—London Chronicle. What They Both Said. Horace Greeley once wrote a note to a brother editor in New York, whose writing was as illegible as his own. The recipient of the note, not being able to read it, sent it back by the same messenger to Mr. Greeley for elucidation. Supposing it to be the answer to his own note, Mr. Greeley looked over it, but likewise was unable to read it, and said to the boy: "Go take it back. What does the damned fool mean?" "Yes, sir," said the boy; "that is just what he says." As Yet Inexperienced The husband who has not yet learned to wear a smile ove' an aching heart still has rice in his pockets. —Exchange.

Different You Know In Louisville, Ky., a few days ago the janitor refused to open the court house to three well known colored orators who had been billed to address the colored voters of that city. Had it been a case of opening the jail doors the hinges would have been greased and no doubt the jailor would have responded with alacrity. The "Boss" is sick. Her tonsils refused to accept the recent violent fall in temperature in good taste, and as a result the "Boss" is home wrapped in flannel and heaping mild anthemas upon the head of the doctor who refuses point blank to let the "Boss" out of doors. In consequence of said indisposition our print-shop is in gloom and the editorial sanctum will not be comforted. The "Boss" is the rudder of our mental airship where we are kept in normal currents. Without her we would find ourselves swinging aimlessly through space colliding with all the troubles ever invented to grove the soul of man. With her the sun-gleams are full of fairies; even the clouds are inhabited with the merriest of merry elfs; for the "Boss" is seldom cross, never irritated and always the soul of genial hope. Everything loves the "Boss," from all the stray dogs and cats upon the streets, to the ubiquitous beggar who meets her every morning to solicit a couple of cents to see his dying mother across the river. Notwithstanding that the same mother has been dying, in these many moons, the boss "falls" CAN YOU SEE THE POINT? SAVE $5.00 to $50.00 The Board of Directors of the Mt. Glenwood Cemetery Association have ordered an advance in the price of lots to take effect December 10, 1911, in Again and again the question has come to me, why do not the worthy reforms of the country meet with better success? Why does not the temperance cause gain more advocates and more influence? And why do not the decent people of the towns and rural districts array themselves more formidably against vice? And the answer is: The people generally are so busy with their own affairs that they have little thought or time to give to reform movements. The men are working hard to support their families; the women are busy keeping house and rearing their children. They all are living their own lives, so interested in the happenings of their immediate small world that they take little interest in the events of the world at large, and so busily engrossed with their own business that they can find little time to participate in the affairs of the world. It is right and normal for people generally to live in this way, following their own pursuits. It is only exceptional persons who, not burdened by family cares or by the press of having to make their living, are able to devote themselves to the batterment of humanity. Such unattached and independent persons are able to be altruistic, but the bulk of men and women in the world have to be egotistic if they are to support and rear their families. If all the people in the world should become reformers, if they all should turn perfectly altruistic, the human race would be soon extinct. If, then, that universal altruism is an impossibility, and that through it the world cannot be freed of its sin, disease and injustice, there remains for the game just because she fears that perhaps some day he will tell the truth and then should she refuse, oh, horrors. The "Boss" has legions of friends—friends who would come very nearly committing homicide on those who might offend her. In fact the "Boss" might have been a most successful queen in the chivalric days when men considered it a duty and an honor to die for their sovereigns. Her subjects would be her friends, and what a glorious and numerously populated nation would hers be to rule. The "Boss" mends slowly; but here's to the rapid and complete recovery of the best girl in the world, my chum, the "Boss," Sara Elizabeth Anderson, the editor's wife. Judge's Severe Comment Sir Matthew Begieh, chief justice of British Columbia, once had before him a man charged with having killed another man with a sand-bag. The evidence was conclusive, and the judge charged the jury accordingly, but a verdict of "Not Guilty" was promptly brought in. The judge was astonished. "Gentlemen of the jury," he said, "this is your verdict, not mine. On your conscience the disgrace will rest. Many repetitions of such conduct as yours will make trial by jury a horrible farce, and the city of Victoria a nest of crime. Go! I have nothing more to say to you." And then, turning to the prisoner: "You are discharged. Go and sand-bag some of those jurymen; they deserve it." Expensive Tree. We do not think much of trees in the United States, and let several million acres of them burn without getting excited, in England small forests, and even individual trees, are maintained at great expense. If there is not actually an outlay of money, the trees occupy land that could otherwise be profitably employed. Probably the most noteworthy tree in the world, so far as expensiveness is concerned, is a plane tree which grows in Wood street, in the city of London. This tree occupies a lot which would bring in ground-rent to the amount of $1,200 per annum. It says much for the nature-loving qualities, and, incidentally, for the fortune, of the owner of that lot that the ancient tree flourishes safely year after year. Respect Due to Bank Alice Wenhan is a cliff dweller and, as such, accustomed to the whereabouts of the lordly janitor by whose kind permission her people live and have their being. Right across the street they are building another apartment, an activity which greatly interests the young lady. She spends many hours in the contemplation of the job. The excavation filled her with breathless interest. The foundation proved even more exciting. And now, that the building is in a fair state of progress, she is quite beside herself. And she wants to know you know, "Mother," she asked when the bricklayers began on the ground floor work, "they've built the janitor's house first. Isn't that funny?"—Cleveland Lender. An Exception: The Foundling. Every mother's son of us has relatives he does not like.—Chicago News. Hand This Notice to a Friend! --- SEE THE THE POINT? but the alternative, that humanity will become bettered through the improvement of its individuals. The world cannot be made righteous, by great reforms sweeping the country, but will grow better through the slow evolving righteousness of its individuals. However, the reformers do not work in vain; they guide and direct; they are the generals in the great battle for goodness. But they cannot win the battle; success can be achieved only when each and every private soldier is doing his own particular duty toward the accomplishment of the great task. As the salvation of the world is to be wrought by the salvation of its individuals, so is the salvation of men and women to be wrought by their mothers. When mothers for many generations will have been wise and careful in the bearing and rearing of their children, when the mothers of many generations have brought up their children to be clean, honest, strong and kindly, then will the reform of the world be accomplished. More far-reaching than the influence of any reformer is the influence of every mother. Therefore let every mother, and every woman who may some time become a mother, be sure that her influence is of the right sort. One of the hardest lessons for the young wife to learn is that her husband cannot appreciate her, understand her or sympathize with her perfectly. Some wives never realize this fact, but go through life lamenting their husband's lack of sympathy. The truth of the matter is that a husband and wife usually understand each other better than the rest of the world understands them. And yet even they Where the Young Men Learn Men Learn Tailoring at Hampton, Va. Where the Young Men Learn Tailoring at Hampton, Va. A wise old financier confides he has often found it valuable to put a stupid man on a promotion scheme. He understands baseball, and this is the way he explains it: A great batter doesn't expect to see a ball come to him straight over the plate; when the dull promoter puts his straight over the plate it catches some of the keenest of 'em napping. Children who suffer very much from headaches without any apparent cause should be taken to an oculist to have their eyes examined. It may be that they are overstraining them without being conscious of the fact. Defects of the eyes can be cured in so many cases if glasses are worn for a time, and even the thief children soon become accustomed to wearing them. Tones of Insects. An investigator, given to the collection of curious data, has observed that there are at least three different tones emitted by insects; a low one during flight, a higher one when the wings are held in such manner that they do not vibrate, and a yet higher tone when the insect is held so that none of its limbs can be moved. This last, it is pointed out, is the "voice proper" of the insect. In some cases it is produced by the stigmata of the thorax. THE FIGHT ```markdown ``` The Way Your Sons Learn Carpentering at Hampton Institute, Va. Promotion Shoots Fault May Be in Eyesight Tones of Insects cannot accurately read one another's natures. The Quakersumed up the situation aptly when she said to her husband: "John, it seems to me that all the world art queer, except thou and me, and sometimes even thou art a little queer." We cannot completely understand another person's character. We cannot see the inner workings of his mind; we cannot see the silent battles of his soul. We cannot feel his anguish. Nor can another accurately fathom the depth and breadth and bigness and smallness of our character. No doubt this is a wise plan of Providence. If we all were not more or less of a puzzle to each other, life would lose half its interest. And then, could we comprehend each other perfectly, we could so much more exactly imitate each other, and would tend to become hopelessly alike, thus defeating nature's plan of development through differentiation of species. It is a blessed revelation when it comes home to us that no one can really understand us, and that we cannot perfectly understand another person. We begin to do things, not for the praise, but because it is what we should do, and because our conscience directs us to do that particular duty. Our satisfaction is in work and accomplishment, and not in being praised. We judge others less harshly, because we realize that we cannot see their motives or know of their struggles. Then there is less rancer in our hearts when others misunderstand us, for we know they cannot thoroughly comprehend us. Wanted to Patent a Circus. P. T. Barnum once came to the office to know if he could patent the three-ring circus. In technical parlance his threering circus was an aggregation and a combination to produce a new result. It was not patentable, which information highly incensed the showman. "It will be adopted by every circus just as soon as I make it known," he declared.

Something From Nothing Some children were once asked by an inspector at a school examination whether they knew the meaning of the word "scandal."

I have found the following method of cutting pieces for a quilt to be a saving of time and labor, says a contributor to Needlecraft. Have the pattern cut from cardboard and a piece of beeswax pressed on each corner; then press the bit of cloth to the pattern, cut it out, remove it, and you are ready for the next without the trouble of putting in and taking out pins. --- EBENEZER BAPTIST CHURCH.

Catholic Church in America Honored by Elevating Three Prelates to the Sacred College. Rome, Nov. 27.—In the Hall of Consistories at the Vatican today the formal ratification of the pope's nomination of eighteen new members of the Sacred College was carried out with simple ceremonial. The striking feature of the consistory, which was attended only by the pope, the cardinals resident in Rome, and the visiting cardinals, was the elevation of three American prelates, Mgr. Farley, archbishop of New York; Mgr. O'Connell, archbishop of Boston; and Mgr. Falconio, the apostolic delegate at Washington, who now retires from that office. The actual bestowal of the red hat has been reserved for Thursday, when the public consistory will be held in the Hall of the Beatification and a much more stately ceremony will mark the occasion.

Sleeping With Children When it is necessary for an adult to sleep in the same bed with a young child, the following method will be found quite satisfactory, and insure comfort to the adult at least. Make the bed with three sheets instead of two; then have the child sleep between the middle and lower sheets, and the adult between the middle and upper sheets. This prevents the child from rolling around and also holds the sheet tightly about its shoulders.—Good Housekeeping.

FOOTBALL IN UNIVERSITIES AND HIGH SCHOOLS IN AND OUT . OF CHICAGO. By Julius N. Avendorph. Two years ago when a universal demand was made for a change in the football rules by the various athletic boards as well as members of families who had a relative on some team, prove a serious question as to what change could be made, other than the mass plays without seriously affecting the game, but something had_to be done for the protection of the game as well as lives, therefore, when the changes were made they proved so radical that the general impression among the coaches was, that it would be necessary to organize a lightweight team, as speed was essential, but of course, to hear such predictions was expected as the whole thing DELTA ATER TR Fine Art, Carriage and Auto Painting Institute, H was problematic. But after a season's experience with the mass plays and flying tackle eliminated, it was discovered the idea of a light-weight team was a mistake, as it was absolutely necessary to have weight in defensive work, which of course, brought about another phase of the all important question, whether the weight in the line or in the backs would produce the best results, but that soon worked out itself, the results of which, the line today is as heavy as ever. Of course, there is very little line plunging done in the game of this season, as the formations do not call for it, but it is safe to have it as an emergency, to break up plays on the offensive side. The new plays permitting so much strategy and deception, it is very necessary for the ends and half backs to be speedy men in order to get away with the snap of the ball, and down the field on kicks. There must be every confidence in the man directing the plays. The quarter back must be a man equal to all emergencies in order to insure that confidence, as a mistake on his part would most likely result, so to speak, as a head-on wreck does on a railroad. The fullback is brought into prominence more than ever under the new rules, and particularly in the formation of the forward pass. Every coach works hard to develop a kicker, which is a necessary adjunct to a winning team under the present rules. The 1911 season is now history, and unfortunately we are without a representative on the all-star team selected from the conference teams. Alexander, right tackle on the University of Iowa team, was the only possibility, as he is the only colored man playing on a conference team this season, but he was not deserving of a place on either A Corner in the Machine Sho first or second teams. I predict when the conference officials get together on next Saturday there will be a few more changes made in the rules which will allow more scoring than has been the case in the last two years. Fred Pollard, right half-back on Lane High school team and the idol of the league, was as usual given a place on the first all-star high school team. An honor he is deserving of and has held for the last two years. Pollard has one more year at Lane. The defeat of Wisconsin by Chicago on last Saturday was a big surprise to the closest followers of the game, consequently I felt ratter puffed up over my prediction. Below is my selection of an all-star Defender high school team: John Barrett, left end, Oak Park. R. Cotton, left tackle, Oak Park. Fred Rice, left guard, Oak Park. R. Presnell, center, Lane. R. Delaney, right guard, Lane. Charles Cory, right tackle, University high. Al. Vinnedge, right end, Hyde Park. Leslie Hart, quarter back, Hyde Park. Fred Pollard (captain), left half-back, Lane.

Elixir of Life for Steel For mankind, as yet, the olixir of life remains undiscovered; but for steel it has been found. The element vanadium, when added in certain predetermined and small proportions, gives to steel the combined properties of increased tensile strength, higher elastic limit and greater ductility. Strength, toughness, elasticity, united with freedom from crystalization—these are the life-giving properties which vanadium imparts to steel, properties which raise its endurance to meet the burdens which are dally increasing upon it.

Among savages she sticks on a few more beads and feathers. But in some middle western towns she rolls up her sleeves, opens the flair bin and cooks something calculated to knock the spots off anything culinary the other girl ever dared dream of. That was why Mrs. Fruby said to her daughter with a hint of excitement in her voice, "Try him on beaten biscuits, Sadle! And your chocolate marshmallow pudding!" It had been hard enough all her life for Mrs. Fruby to be outdone by Mary Sandler without having to endure seeing Mary Sandler's daughter get ahead of her own Sade. And of late Rosa Sandler had asked Peter Vernon to dinner entirely too often to suit Mrs. Fruby's plans. So had half a dozen other girls. For Peter Vernon was a matrimonial prize, the like of which a small town does not see more than once in a generation. He had an interest in the big engine works, which made money so fast that it gave the populace the hiccughs trying to count it. Natural jealousy of Mary Sandler made Mrs. Fruby consider Rosa a deadly rival. Rosa was nearly as pretty as Sade and, moreover, she was a good cook. So were Margaret and Agnes and Carrie, other aspirants Louise—Mrs. Fruby merely smiled at the idea of Louise. Being built on solid lines herself, Mrs. Fruby had an imagined contempt for ethereal creatures like Louise. who looked as though a puff of wind might easily remove her from the scene. Louise was of the ethereal, useless kind and Mrs. Fruby knew that no sensible man wanted a helpless wife. Men, she often told Sadle, liked energy and ability in a girl. As for cooking, it was doubtful if Louise could even cook a pan of fudge without burning it. Peter Vernon was a tall, thin young man with a well set head and a kindly, if shrewd, smile. "He's not the sort to get taken in!" Mrs. Fruby said thankfully as she superintended Sadle's work making the beaten biscuit for that night's supper, to which Peter Vernon was coming. "Does your arm ache? Let me beat awhile!" Peter Vernon liked the beaten biscuit immensely. He ate six. And he had two helpings of the chocolate marshmallow pudding. "She nearly beat her arm off making those," Sadie's mother confided to him. "But, I tell you, nothing daunts Sadie! When she does a thing she does it!" "They certainly were mighty good," repeated Peter Vernon. "We always have 'em Wednesday evenings," said Sadie's mother with a sudden inspiration. "And you drop in that night without waiting to be asked, since you're so fond of 'em!" "Yes doll," echoed Sadie. Beaten biscuits are hard to make. Many were the weary hours Sadie Fruby put in over them, because they had to be made regularly on Wednesdays. Sometimes Peter dropped in, and if he did not be was certain to be met on the street the next day by Sadie or her mother and pinned down to another date. Mrs. Fruby took his fondness for the marshmellow pudding as an especially good sign. "You keep it up, Sadie," she told her daughter the evening Peter had stayed a half-hour beyond his usual time. "I can begin to see that you're winning out!" "I don't know," Sadie said dubiously. "He goes to Isabel's and Margaret's, too—and Louise's!" "I wouldn't worry," declared her mother. "I guess Isabel can't make biscuit like yours and Margaret's cake is a joke. And you know Louise! Why, you've got 'em all on the run!" "But he never says anything," Sadie protested. "I mean anything that I could take as—" "He 'ain't that kind," declared Mrs. Fruby. "He ain't going to make love to a girl till he's engaged to her! You beat those biscuits longer next time!" Shortly after that the local newspaper contained the unexpected announcement of the quiet marriage of Peter Vernon and Louse, the etheral. Mrs. Fruby, after a hysterical scream when she read the news, told Sadie plainly what she thought of Peter. She talked so vehemently that she did not notice how pale Sadie chews were. Sadie usually was stolid and unmoved. "Well," Mrs. Fruby said at last, wiping her eyes, "it can't be helped. You'd better stir up some beaten biscuit for supper tonight—it's Wednesday!" Habit was strong in her. It was then that Sadie voiced a brand new theory of life. "Beaten biscuit!" she echoed grimly. "I never want to see one again! I guess what you cat doesn't count for much, after all!" Remedy for Cramp. A sufferer from cramp during sleep writes that he found a remedy. He noticed that he never became cramped no matter how long he napped in a reclining chair. These facts, in connection with some physiological considerations, induced the writer to put into practice the following plan, which has proved decidedly successful: To sleep upon an inclined plane. This is effected by taking care that the bed or mattress should incline 12 inches from the upper to the lower part of the bed; and for this purpose the lower feet were cut down so as to form this inclination.

Artistle Taste Enables Her to Work Wonders With Materials of Trifling Cost—Any Girl Can Do as Well. Brown, or rather natural colored, Unen, very coarse in quality, and therefore the more effective, has been manipulated into window hangings and upholstery covers by a clever girl who was given a generous amount of money with which to do over her own den in the country house. Being clever with her fingers, the girl decided to do her room herself, and, hawing an economical turn of mind, she wished to have the best ef- fects for the least money. Tho result is most charming in tan and pink, with touches of green, and the hang- ings are likely to wear forever. The Inen she bought by the piece of 60 yards at wholesale, and because it was cheaper she selected that which Is stiffened and Is used in the making of men’s clothing. The home laun- dress washed the stiffening out, and the girl had a material not unlike Rus- sian linen, but costing decidedly less, On the walls of this room, which ts high among the treetops, she had a paper covered at regular intervals with very small bunches of Uny, round, pink roses, showing the mer- est suspicion of foliage. The tloor was of plain hardwood. The linen was made into straight araperies, with four inch hems that fall, unlooped to the sill. ‘There is a shallow valance, with similar hem, but no heading is used above that through , Which the small brass rod is run, The object of having a shallow valance is that the view of great trees shall not be destructed. A box 12 Inches high, 100 long and 25 wide serves as a receptacle for in- frequently worn dresses and a window seat. It is done with the linen. The sides and ends are concealed by the material hanging in box pleats. On the top is a separate cushion, the case for which the girl made, but the cush. fon itself, that It might be even and nice, was done at an upholster’s. The vox is placed beneath two windows to- gether, and near it ts a round mahog: any table on which are books, a jar of flowers, a lamp and the other et- ceteras one would have in such a room. An old wing chair, discarded by her mother for several years, the girl had bought from the stables and covered it herself, using brass tacks as a fin- ish, The work took time, but was not difficult, for the old cover was used for a pattern in cutting out the new. A mahogany side chair and a steamer chair were given linen cushions, made on. Tho necessary color was introduced by pink and green figured cretonne cushions on the window seat and in the chairs. The paper lamp shade is pink, On the floor are pink and green tag rugs. The room is restful and cool for summer, and the cost of do- ing it over was so slight as to make it possible for any girl whose income is small, LATEST IN VELVET SHOES Louls XIV. and Louis XV, Lead the ‘Way in This Season's Styles.

They must be in exactly the same material as the dress with which {ey are worn, and they must have exquisite buckles or buttons in fine silver, paste or enamel, with one’s monogram, as one likes. A violet velvet frock trimmed with fur and lace would have violet velvet shoes and real lace stockings like the lace on the frock, and so on through all one's wardrobe. Naturally, women with small incomes cannot do this sort of thing to dny extent, but they can follow modestly, and it is quite well worth while to give some atten- tion to the detail of having the right shees and stockings for each gown, PICTURE HAT ALS Lis =N OPS th CD?

New Yorl.We are the rudest peo- ple in the world. Prince Adelbert, ‘aged 27, third son of the Kaiser, says so and when a prince makes a state- ment {t fa never quite pollte—nor safe —to contradict him. The fact that recently two young Americans did re- tuse to acknowledge bis royal _prero- gative to “boss” Ip the reason for bis conclusion that “Americans have ab- solutely no manners.” The young man has been spending the summer at a famous European’ pleasure resort, also patronized by a Inrge number of soclety folk from this country. ‘Ten- nis has been the favorite sport of the young folks from “the States” and the prince, who is a splendid player, made @ great many friends among them. One Saturday afternoon he bad been watching with great interest the bril- lant play of Bernard Dell, the woll- known athlete of Princeton Univer- sity. The game over, he asked Mr. Dell to play a single with him on the morrow. “Sorry,” sald Mr. Dell, “but I never play games on Sundays.” “But I ask you,” insisted the prince, “Sorry again,” replied Mr. Dell, “but I cannot go against my religious prin- ciples—not even for you." Well, this was a situation with which the prince had never bad to cope before In the whole course of his Mfe, for when royalty says “I ask” it means nothing else but “I command” and bere was a person who refused to be commanded. There was nothing he could do so “he done it,” but ft was @ wrathy young prince who strode away from the firm-jawed American, Not long after that most astonish- ing experience Prince Adelbert, In- tending to give a dinner to some of the German nobility passing through iN ZW oe en ONE UF BER BEE aS ae ed Be | BON ee 2 N Sa the resort, suddenly made up bis mind that his American friends should be his guests as well and, forthwith, he walked to the tennis courts and “asked” all of them. Now It happen- ed that a Philadelphia girl was also to give a party on the day the royal Germans were to be in the place and. as the prince knew, the Americans were to be her guests. So when the fnvitation to attend his dinner was given the Americans politely declinea it, saying that they “would not disap. point Miss Blank for worlds." Then they resumed thelr game as if noth- ing had happened. ‘The prince was astounded. Could it be possible that any one should dara to turn down a last-minute invitation fssued by one of royal blood? That ordinarily un- titled human beings should not be willing, yes, should not jump at the chance to cancel any other engage- ment for the honor of sitting at his table was most amazing. But what could be do about it? Nothing. obvi- ously, He tried to work off a little of his indignation by giving out the state- ment that we were rude and unman- nerly, but the Amerieans, who had treated him quite as if he were a somewhat too haughty young society man, didn't seem to mind greatly. European society, however, ts much excited over the affair, one section sid- fag with the prince, maintaining that the invitation of a member of a reign- ing house should be regarded as a royal command by everybody, without distinction of nationality; while ot the other hand, all the Americans and a great many Puropeans are taking the part of Mr. Dell and the girl. argu: Ing that they were not impolite and only acted quite as sensible young Americans should.

WILLIAMSON, Assistant Only Place of Business in Chicago 2959 and 2961 State Street Phone 727 Douglas—Automatic 71-629 Chairman of Committee Receives List of Regulations. 7 Amateur Is Defined and Description of Suits That May Be Worn Is Given —No Attendants Allowed In Arena. | The rules which will govern the Olympic games at Stockholm, Sweden, next summer have been received in this country. They were sent to James E. Sullivan, chairman of the American Olympic committee, by Kris- tian Hellstrom of the Swedish Olympic committee. ‘The executive com- mittee of the American Olympic committee, which will go over them carefully, and such parts as require further explanation or interpretation will be taken up with the Swedish committee so that every one of them will be clearly understood here be- fore the American team leaves for Sweden. Under the general regulations the committee defines an amateur and ulso describes what kind of suits the athletes shall wear when in competi- tion. Each contestant must wear a Jersey, with short sleeves and draw- ‘ers to the knees and shall also have on back and front during competition a distinetive number corresponding to the number on the program. To pre- vent a repetition of the Dorando fiasco of the London games no attendant wid) be allowed with a competitor during a race. The rule on this subject says: “No attendant shall accompany any competitor in the arena or during any ree; nor shall any competitor be al- lowed except with permission of judges 1o receive assistance or refreshment from any one during a race.” It ie sald an athlete who takes so- called drugs will become disquali- ied, Differing from the other Olympic races, the running will be against the sun, as it is in this country, In the hurdle races the hurdles will not ba collapsible, such as are in use in this country. The rules state that the top rail or the hurdles shall be fixed fast to the upright supports, In the relay races a round baton of wood about four inches in circumfer- ence will be used and must be pass- ed from one athlete to another with- in 20 meters, 10 meters on either side of the starting place marked out for each competitor, This Is different from the American rules, which merg- ly require a “touch off.” ‘The cross-country run wil be held in diversified country over a course unknown to the competitors. The contestants will be forced to follow a marked course. It will start and fin- ish in the stadium. The rule pertaining to the standing high jump is somewhat different from ihe American rule, According te it a competitor may rock back and for- ward. tilting heels and toes alternate- ly from the ground, but he may not more than once lift either foot clear from the ground nor more than once siide it along the ground, ‘The rules governing all the other jumps are similar to the rules in uni- versal use, with the exception of a clause which says: “If any competitor swerves aside at the taking off line or crosses the tak- ing off Ine and touches the ground in front of it with any part of his foot such jump shall not be measured, and ‘it shall count against the competitor /as one jump.” Bonus Thompson Hardware Co. 7 DEALER IN ALL KINDS OF HARDWARE We do roofing, guttering and all kinds of tin work.
