Chicago Defender

VOLUME VII. NUMBER 27. The attendance, although not overlarge, comfortably filled the main auditorium of this spacious church. The program was opened by prayer by the Rev. C. H. Callis, pastor of Walter's A. M. E. Zion church, followed by a violin solo by Mr. Harrison Emanuel. Mr. Avendorph then told of his purpose in holding these annual meetings. He said that as long as he lived they should continue, and that he had enlisted a promise from his son to keep alive the memory of Dunbar after his death. He then introduced the speaker, Dr. Charles E. Bentley. Dr. Bentley, noted himself for his mastery of the English language, his eloquent delivery and perfect pronunciation, paid the lamented poet a magnificent tribute. He told of his humble origin and early struggles, and lauded him as one of the world's greatest characters. "Born of slave parents and from the position of elevator boy through every conceivable handicap to the foremost man of letters of his race, among English speaking people is a great record," said the speaker. "Truly Dunbar was a genius; not only that, he was a philosopher." The lamented poet had an eloquent and precise exponent in the gifted Dr. Bentley. Had necessity demanded or forethought suggested, he could not have selected one better. Dr. Bentley could well be the speaker, at every meeting. If not, he could supervise, for truly his address was a masterpiece. We hope that the manager will see the point in this suggestion. Following the address Mrs. Marie Burton-fyram sang "Rock of Ages" by request. Both Mr. Emanuel and Mrs. Hyrum were accompanied by Miss Ada Lou Mitchell. Rev. Jenifer pronounced the benediction. Mr. Avendorph is to be congratulated upon the success of this meeting. The program was just long enough to be enjoyable and no doubt the future meetings in memory of Paul Lawrence Dumbar will have added interest and a larger attendance. Many of the Chicago friends and quite a few from afar attended the marriage of Miss Florence Williams and Mr. Charles Laws Wednesday evening, June 26, at the residence of the bride's father, 450 East 41st street. Rev. W. D. Cook of Quinn chapel officiated. Miss Maude Williams, the bride's sister was bridesmaid, and Mr. Hugh Williams was groomsman. The happy couple will reside at home. Their many friends expressed their delight in the union by many beautiful presents. Dr. Daniel E. Burrows, the popular State street physician, has purchased a handsome electric automobile. It had been rumored for some time that such was his intention, but it was not until last week that a Chicago Defender reporter, passing his residence, 3562 Forest avenue, saw the doctor entering the car. Later the machine was inspected in front of his office, 3221 State street. Dr. Burrows, unlike the other physicians who own automobiles, employs a chauffeur. Arvonia, June 14 — "Uncle" Harry Brown, one of the oldest colored inhabitants of Arvonia, has recently received intelligence of a remarkable piece of good fortune which has befallen him in the nature of a landed estate left him by his only brother, who died recently in Arkansas. Attorneys of the late Charles Brown, colored, who left Buckingham county before the war, being sold into slavery, have written to the treasurer of Buckingham county for intelligence of Harry Brown, stating that a large estate had been left him by his only brother, who recently died in Arkansas without issue, leaving much land and property. WAITERS FED IN BASEMENT LIKE CATTLE Deplorable Conditions in Hotels That Employ Colored Waiters —Fed in Basement Like Dogs on a Poor Farm—Bill of Fare Is Generally Pork and Beans and Hash—Hash Made from Leavings on Guests' Plates or Tainted Scraps from the Icebox —Waiters Call Quarters "Dog House." HYDE PARK HOTELS CARE NOTHING FOR HELP. Food So Bad That Waiters Are Made Ill—If Caught Eating Anything Outside of Their Ill-Smelling Hole They are Fined $5.00 Measly Pittance—Average Salary $25.00 Per Month—Must Pay for Breakage—Iron Glad Employment Card—Yet They Tame-ly Submit. Apropos of the recent strike of the white waiters in New York city and the employment of Negro waiters in their steed it brings to mind the deplacable conditions that exist in hotels in Chicago that still employs Negro waiters. A careful investigation based upon a recent article in one of our daily newspapers shows that the so-called family hotels in the llyde Park district are the most notorious in their treatment of their waiters and their behemen. Waiters Eat in Dog House. In one of the most widely advertised hotels in this section the waiters call their dining room "the dog house." Their dining room is under the pavement, poorly lighted and ventilated. A long table covered with oil cloth runs the length of the room. An antiquated steam table keeps warm the "bill of fare" intended for "the Niggers" three times a day. The coarse morning meal of oat meal or steak along side of which leather is tender, and coffee only in name is served to the elaborate dinner of stew or hash. The management takes pride in declaring to: his waiters have no right to eat anything else because he furnishes them the best of means. Pork and Beans a Rarity. Occasionally the chef cook, still happy from a night at White City, puts on a new stunt and they have "pork and beans." But "the stew" is a favorite dish. It generally comes down in dishpans, but those hungry souls, fearful of taking a crust of bread from the dining room above, are compelled to be content with this dirty mess. Many of the waiters have been ill after eating in these Hyde Park "dog houses." Other conditions are equally as bad in these hotels. In the issue of the Daily News of July 2 appeared the following and signed by a Mr. C. E. B.: For Colored Waiters to Sign. The color prejudice grows worse. I am showing herewith a copy of an employment card which the waiters are compelled to sign in a local hotel, the name of which I am withholding. "Waiter's employment card. Name ...; address...; occupation...; rate of wage, $25 per month; began work ...; clock No...; Head of department. "The above rate of wages and conditions of employment are correct and approved. I understand that my services may be terminated at any time without prior notice. Salary to be paid to time of discharge. I also agree to pay for all breakages or fines imposed on me by the head of my department. And should I be caught eating while on duty or taking provisions away from kitchen or dining room I agree to pay $5 as fine. I further agree that if, at any time during my employment or within sixty days after the termination of same, my employers shall desire to search my person, room, trunk, clothing or effects. I will gladly submit to such examination without objection, and hereby waive all claims for damages on account of such search or examination." Unless the above is signed by the applicant for employment he cannot work at this place, and sooner or later, usually sooner, the old employee who does not sign is let out or discharged. Is there any place on the face of the republican globe where a white man is compelled to sign away his freedom for a $25 a month job? There is always something for the waiter to pay for out of his wages. I know a man, a married one, who has been in this hotel two or three years, and he has taken his full wages home only once. The hotels employing colored help in Hyde Park are the Chicago Beach, the Del Prado, Windemere, and the Hyde Park Better Grade of Diamonds. Diamonds from the new fields in German Africa are softer and more easily cut than those from British territory and are more transparent. German University Leads.

Dr. Charles E. Bentley's Magnificent Tribute—Calls Lamented Writer a Genius and a Philosopher—Pleasing Musical Program. By J. Hockley Smiley. The annual memorial meeting for the poet Paul Lawrence Dunbar was held at the Institutional A. M. E. e church, $325 Dearborn street, Sunday afternoon. The first meeting in his memory was held under the auspices or the Appomattox club some eighteen years ago. Since that time Mr. Julius N. Avendorph has personally managed these memorial services in his memory and he presided at the meeting Sunday afternoon. WILLIAMS-LAWS Many Friends Attend Nuptials of Well Known Couple. DR. D. E. BURROWS' NEW ELECTRIC CAR The Latest to Forsake the Old Fash ioned Method of Transportation. OLD NEGRO HEIR TO LANDED ESTATE. "Uncle" Harry is greatly pleased at his good fortune, though he takes it philosophically and hopes he can hold on to it. "Uncle" Harry is a hard worker, being an experienced gardener and wood chopper. He has eleven living children, all of them married except three, who are at home with him. His daughter is chief cook at a local inn. It is not known here exactly what is the value of the property which "Uncle" Harry will get, though those in a position to know say that it is in the neighborhood of $40,000.

Bradden, pastor of Bethesda Baptist church, officiated. Loving friends sang appropriate hymns and his six loving sons bore his body from the home to the hearse and from the hearse to its final resting place. Many friends expressed sympathy in beautiful floral designs. Interment was in Oakwood cemetery. The funeral was under the direction of Undertaker Charles Jackson. The Obituary. Richard Byron was born in St. Louis, Mo., December 25, 1849. He died June 27, 1912, at the age of 63 years. Mr. Byron was a descendant of Gonteau de Buron, who with his family fled from France on account of political difference in the year 1800 and settled near St. Louis. Mr. Byron was married February 20, 1872, to Miss Sara Carter of Columbia, Mo. After his marriage he went to Tyrene, Miss, where he engaged in school work. In 1875 he returned to St. Louis and engaged again in school work in East St. Louis, Ill., where for 16 years he was principal of the Lincoln school. In 1900 he moved with his family to Chicago. Having a natural inclination for music and being trained from early child ad it was not, however, until March, 1900, that Mr. Byron launched his sons in the musical world, where they have risen from a position of obscurity to one of prominence. In this work his master hand has always shown and the success has been due entirely to his efforts. He retired from active duty five years ago and since that time the business has been conducted by his sons, but always under his direction. He is survived by six sons and a sister, Mrs. Louisa Davis. He was a devoted husband and a loving father. The motto quoted above was Mr. Byron's daily talk to his sons when they were together. Whenever difficulties arose he always repeated it. Mrs. James S. Ballenger and Miss Letitia Ballenger were among those at his bedside when he died. A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR. Mr. Gartland Anderson, of San Francisco, Cal., manager of one of the largest Jewish hotels there, is in the city, the guest of Mr. Ernest Torregano. Mr. Anderson is returning from an extended trip in the East, visiting Washington, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Boston and the metropolis. He is on pleasure bent, and says he finds in Chicago more hospitality than in any other city he visited. MR. SAMUEL M'GOWAN MARRIED IN DECEMBER. Well Known West Sider, a Benedict— Friends Just Learn Secret—Bride a Creole Belle. One of the wedding sensations this year was the announcement this week of the marriage of Miss Irene C. Otis, 2973 Wabash avenue, and Mr. Samuel A. McGowan, 243 N. Campbell avenue, December 9, 1911. The couple stole a march on their many friends by going to Elgin, Ill, where they were joined in the holy bonds of wedlock by the Rev. R. F. Perkins. Miss Otis is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Milton Otis, one of the best families of New Orleans, and was one of the favorites among the young society people of that city. She is a young lady of charming personality and by her amiable and sweet disposition has won for herself many friends in this city. New Orleans has lost one of her creole belles and Chicago has gained a most charming hostess. Mr. McGowan is a member of one of Chicago's most prominent families and the political wheel-horse of the west side. He was clerk in the County building for four years and is now deputy clerk in the Municipal court. He is also an officer in the Eighth Regiment, Illinois National Guard, and one of its founders. Mr. McGowan has been a social lion and known among his many friends as a confirmed bachelor, and while Chicago is famous for the beauty of her young women, it was left to one of the daughters of the sunny south to captivate him, and now he is a most willing benedict. Mr. and Mrs. McGowan are residing at 2640 Park avenue, where they will be pleased to receive their friends. We offer them our heartiest congratulations and wish them a long and happy life.

Reading from left to right is the Hon. Billy Macclain, theatrical promoter and manager of Sam MacVea. The pugilist who stands next to him, Mr. Macclain, is estimated to be worth $800,000, and attended the Johnson-Flynn fight, to challenge the winner for MacVea. On the extreme right is Mr. Jack Dowridge, the world's richest Negro. Next to Col. John McKee, who died in Philadelphia a year or two agog. He is said to have more worldly possessions both in lands and money. This remarkable picture was taken at the unveiling of the monument and tomb of Peter Jackson, the heavyweight pugilist, by the citizens of Brisband, Queensland, Australia. The exercises consisted of speeches by the city authorities, all of whom deplored race prejudice in America, to the detriment of their honored citizens. This monument and tomb was secured by popular subscription. The Chicago Defender is indebted to Mr. Macclain and his associate, Mr. Henderson Smith, 3232 Calumet avenue, for this photograph. The Chicago Defender follows Mr. MacClain to every part of the world, as he says, that he is never satisfied until he has read the world's greatest weekly. This occasion revives the thought of the wonderful friendship of Parson Davies for Peter Jackson. He was his lifelong friend and at many times his only one. BILLY MAC CLAIN RETURNS HOME BILLY MAC CLAIN RETURNS HOME After Eleven Years of Globe-Trotting, Famous Actor Sees America. Will Attend Johnson-Flynn Fight to Challenge the Winner on Behalf of McVey. Will Operate Chain of Theaters. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Oakland, Cal., July 5—Yes, Billy is here. Just arrived from the Antipodes, looking as well as man can look—arrayed in the latest Antipodean fashion, and don't forget, he still wears a few of the light-giving rocks. Well, if you are getting anxious to know who is this Billy I am speaking of, it is Billy McLean. Ever heard of him? I should say so. He is the famous pioneer in Negro theatricals, world-renowned minstrel and musical comedy artist, confrere of the late Ernest Hogan, late ballet master of the famous Drury Lane theater, London. England—a theater famous in history as the place where Shakespeare staged his own plays and which was the resort of famous men as Johnson, Goldsmith, Milton and Burke, and where David Garrick staged Goldsmith's Vicer of Wakefield. Such a man is Billy McLean, a Negro whose name is as well known in Brussels and Paris as it is known in Indianapolis, the city of his birth. Mr. McLean arrived in San Francisco a few days from Sydney, Australia; but with one stop at the Tahiti Island, his trip was direct. Makes Friends With King. He tells of a most pleasant experience he had with the native chief of one of the islands. His ship anchored for some hours, so he disembarked and offered to entertain the natives with some musical comedy, dancing and sparring. So overcome were these dark-skinned South Sea Islanders with his frolics that they lifted him and bore him in triumph to Chief, who also was so pleased that he took from his neck and gave to him a pearl of the purest water. This jewel is said to be one of the largest pearls found on those islands. It is seven carats and is valued at $750. In addition to this he was given two coral shells of about three feet in circumference and weighing over sixty pounds each. The chief of the island, who was contemplating a trip to San Francisco, co-vailed himself of the opportunity of accompanying him on the rest of the voyage to this country. It will be remembered that Billy left this country in the year 1904 for Europe. He remained in London until 1908 and was engaged as ballet master of the Drury Lane theater, being the first and only colored man to produce in that renowned house. Leaving London he went to Paris and became ballet master of the Olympia Theater of that gay metropolis. Leaving the French capital, Mr. McLean went to Brussels and held a similar MRS. JESSE BINGA EXPERT AUTOIST. Dexterously Handles Car and Prevents Accident in Downtown Jam—Was Not Nervous. Mrs. Jesse Binga, wife of our prominent banker, fully displayed her ability as an autoist Tuesday morning. Mrs. Binga in her beautiful electric machine had just passed Wabash avenue going west on Adams street when a careless driver suddenly turned his heavy laden wagon across her path. She hastily reversed her lever and turned off the power, but so, sudden was the action that the car skidded to the curb. But there was no damage done, the driver being the most frightened. Mrs. Binga paid little attention to her clever act and the many pedestrians have wondered who the expert motorist was. Among those who witnessed this hair-breath escape were the editor and city editor of the Chicago Defender. The car was overtaken at State street, but Mrs. Binga refused to be interviewed.

Tuesday a reporter for the Chicago Defender happened in Peacock's jewelry store, State and Adams streets, to have his watch regulated. At an adjoining counter was the dignified attorney looking over a collection of bracelets. When approached about the matter he was noncommittal, but the records of the Adams Express Company show that the package was promptly shipped to Miss E. B. Whitman at Lexington, Ky. It was later learned that this costly trinket was a mutilated token and that the wedding day will be announced at an early date. The Iowa Club, Hugh Hoskins & Son, proprietors, is one of the most orderly and best places of the kind on State street. Mr. Hoskins is a first-class man and has first-class entertainment. 3161 State street.

Danville, Ill., July 5.—The committee, which has in charge the arrangements for entertaining the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, and the Grand Court of Calanthe, are leaving nothing undone to make the sessions here one to be long remembered. The people in general have responded nobly with places for the delegates to stop until the Pythians are in a position to take care of all visitors who may come to the city, and the list is growing larger. This should be the case and the Knights would not have their friends stop sending in their names because of this; they have the assurance that there will be an unusually large number of strangers in the city and besides the delegates there will be those who will be here to enjoy the many social features which are being arranged. The Committee has its hands full in thinking out the intricate details of all arrangements and putting its plans into action. Temporary plans are fast becoming fixtures and the next few days will leave nothing undone except to join with friends from out of the city in the enjoyment of one grand and glorious gala week. Outing at Elsworth Park. Monday, July 8, it is expected that the Chicago delegation will arrive in the city; they are scheduled to leave LaSalle St. station over the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad about noon and are due at the Junction sometime near 4 p. m.; others from various directions are expected at this time, so they may be able to attend the lecture by the Grand Lecturer at Castle Hall over 121-123 Wainwright street and the reception given by the Court of Calanthe at Masonic Hall. ing at Ellis ing in the in this at eveninggree" will be conferred on a number of candidates.

The Happy Nine Team of this city will meet an opponent worthy of their steel on Thursday afternoon at the I. I. League Baseball park. Many other amusements will take form before the delegates arrive; and their stay in our city will no doubt be one long to be remembered. On all occasions the best of music will be furnished and the several entertainments, placed in charge of experienced men, will assure everyone a royal good time. Many of the delegates who will attend have sent in their names and have been sent cards bearing the addresses of the persons with whom they will stop; many others will be placed in the homes which have been provided as soon as they arrive; and in this way it will not take long to give every person who is to care for them their quote of visitors. Danville Will Show Off. It has been a long time since Danville has had a chance to show herself, and it seems a supreme effort is being made by all to show the strangers that we have here a city surpassed by none in its ability to take care of large conventions of the race. The committee has met with so much encouragement and success that it is at a loss to understand why Danville has not had more of the like gatherings in the past; however, it is believed by all the well wishers in the city that the entering wedge has been made, and that future years will see more Negro conclaves headed Danvilleward. It is the sincere wish that all friends join with the Pythians in whooping it up and make the week of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias a glowing tribute to the race in this part of Illinois. THE WEEK IN TOLEDO. Church and Other Affairs of Note Personal. Toledo, Ohio, July 5.—Sunday was indeed a red letter day in Warren A. M. E. Church, it being the occasion of the annual trustee rally. The church had the appearance of a beautiful flower garden. All of the club's, including the Lookout Circle of King's Daughters and the Rescue Club composed of little girls had their tables in a semi-circle around the altar each bedecked with beautiful floral designs with the name of club and captain on the banner. Right Rev. Bishop C. Shafter was present to conduct services promptly at 10:30 a.m. Under the strains of the organ the bishop was escorted to the main auditorium by the entire officialy, led by the board of deacons, then came the stewardess board, then in turn followed by the board of trustees. Next came Bishop Shafter, D. D., presiding bishop of the third Episcopal district; Rev. W. B. Lee, pastor of the church, and Rev. Elijah Atles. At 3 o'clock the services were again occupied. Rev. Gilliam of All Saints church, Rev. B. F. McWilliams of the Third Baptist church and Rev. Guild of St. Paul's M. E. church were present and took part in the services. The sermon was preached by Rev. Guild who excited his audience to a high pitch of religious zeal. Bishop Schaffer preached at the evening service. After the sermon the work of the clubs again was taken up and reports from the clubs was made. The people were in a state of jubilant anticipation of the result and when the announcement of the magnificent sum of $1,260.82 was made there went up from the large audience an unxultant shout of joy. Rev. W. B. Lee, pastor of Warren A. M. E. church, can indeed be proud of his work in this charge. The Willing Workers of the Third Baptist church met Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. Edward Conner. Get ready to go with the Third church on their excursion to Sugar Island July the 19th, where they will meet the Second Baptist church of Detroit.

Miss Darby had her graduation reception Tuesday evening, the 12th, and Miss Jackson Friday evening. They both received many beautiful presents. ```markdown ``` Leave items for this paper with Turner T.

Or the Young Colored Woman on the Vaudeville Stage. Women Who Adopt the Stage as a Profession Do Not Have to Sell Their Virtue for Work—Such a Life Is Optional—Managers Who Exact Such a Price: "Have the Wisdom of Serpents and the Propensities of a Dog." By Iva Toldsome. It is alarming to what point greed will lead you. For several weeks careful watch has been kept on the attitude of managers and booking agents towards our women on the stage. It was first brought to notice that some of the best of female acts could not work over two or three weeks, when there would come a layoff of perhaps the same amount of time. The question was asked. Why was such a situation of affairs necessary Right then began the hunt for whys and wherefores, and the cursed practice of Southern white men was found to be as rampant in the breast of Northern whites. It was learned that many women are fortunate in securing work in vaudeville, and some few succeed in having all they can do and without the loss of their virtue; but the greater number of the women on the stage fall not only easy but willing victims to the blandishments, of the white man, because he will give to them luxuries which they would be unable to enjoy otherwise, and this is the class for whom all women in vaudeville who value their virtue must step aside. Why Because this low, degraded herd is selling their womanhood to satisfy their greed for money. It is no strange thing to step into the inner office of a manager or booking agent and there find one of our women in disgraceful postures or holding in her lap some white man, and the occasions on which one can witness the common handling of a woman's person by these so-called white gentlemen is of such frequent occurrence that few persons remark it. This class of women is a menace to the future of the race, morally, physically and mentally. They are the beginning of a future generation of harlots. The southland is teeming with women of the race who delight in bringing into the world the illegitimate offspring of some white beast, and in nine cases out of every ten the women feel honored in so doing, because they, as well as their white associates, are of the lowest type of man and woman. No matter what their station in life their natural bent is low, or they would abhor such a life; and the very act of this base association was the cause of the "Jim Crow cars" in the South today, and now all must suffer for the actions of some. In the theatrical world the woman who degrades herself is, in the majority of cases, the one who lives; all the others exist and suffer, because their virtue is dearer to them than an armful of contracts and a loss of self-respect and womanhood. Many are the women who have no self-respect because they feel it a burden, and they willfully throw it aside. That is the class which is helping the white man to make prostitutes out of the majority of our girls in the profession, and he does so by keeping them out of employment until they become a prey to his desires; and plenty of work is theirs. And what of such men? There is no punishment severe enough for a dirty brute of this calibre. His is the wisdom of a serpent and the propensities of a dog. It is not necessary for our women to sink so low; better would it be a thousand times to change one's vocation, make less salary, and have the satisfaction in your own heart that you are an honest woman; and it is sincerely hoped that the time is not long when our women on and off the stage will realize that it is only the very sum, the riff-raff, of the white race, in fact its lowest element, to whom they are giving their purity. We are glad to note that all managers and booking agents are not the same; and the good ones are so few that they are almost lost in the vortex of crime and pollution which is carried on back of the footlights. The stage is not harmful: rather is it a place where one can grow intelligently. It is what we make of our work that makes for our eternal salvation or damnation. So let the women fight for their rights, and ere long they will realize that "virtue is its own reward." DEATHS OF THE WEEK Who Passed Away at Provident Hospital, June 30, 1909.

Two merchants, who had been boys together and in the same class in Latin, heard the speech. The speaker closed his peroration in full, rotund voice, with "Vox popull, vox Dei!" Tom turned to William and remarked, "Bill, I'll bet you $5 that you don't remember enough Latin to translate that sentence." "Make it ten," replied William, "and I'm on." The bet was made and William translated as follows: "Vox popull, vox Dei—My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me!" Without protest Tom passed over a $10 bill, remarking, half-regretfully, half-admiringly: "William, I really didn't think you would be able to do it." The Lion Tamer. "Why ain't the lion tamer here?" asked the manager of the circus. "It's time for the show to begin and he ain't nowhere around." "Haven't you heard about him?" repiled the ringmaster. "He married the midget this morning, and she chased him out across the hills back of town a little while ago because he flirted with one of the lady bareback riders."

Tales of GOTHAM and other CITIES Budding Bandit is Nipped in the Bud Militant Cow Puts Policemen to Rout A boy is playing with his friends. NEW YORK.—"Nipped in the Bud, or Nothing Doing for Dickey Boy," is the next novel to which will be drawn the attention of Richard Boy, a would-be bandit. Dickie Boy, who is five feet three and fifteen years old, armed himself with two big guns, a slung-shot, seventeen dime novels, a Bible and a map of Arizona and started for the wild and woolly west to shoot down Indians and shoot up saloons. He did not even get a good start, for he was grabbed by just an ordinary copper and "run into the cooler." He did not even have the satisfaction of being stuck up by a cowboy sheriff and getting a run for his money and a square show. The budding frontiersman started the ball rolling the other afternoon by running amuck 'n his home at 59 West Ninety-third street. He did not shoot out any lights, but he scared the life out of his mother and two younger brothers and sisters. The terror of the West side declared he'd shoot 'em all up, and they got into closets and under beds while he strutten in intrally western splendor, rattling with artillery as he walked. "Terrible Tim CHICAGO.—A spotted cow which answered with enthusiasm to the name of "Violet" came into East Chicago the other evening, approached the outer fringe to the political battlefield, and went mad. At midnight Policeman John Lazar was walking his peaceful beat in the neighborhood of Chicago and Kennedy avenues when he met Violet and was seized with a sense of pastoral poetry and moonlight. "I will take her to the pound and imagine myself once more in the old lane that leads from the pasture to my father's barn." Lazar told himself and smiled with pleasure at the prospect. He approached Violet sympathetically and with a delicate motion of his arms sought to waft her in the direction she should go. Violet refused to be waffed. She was in playful mood and showed a desire to place both her front feet at once on the policeman's shoulders. He retreated warily. He got inside a patrol box and from its security argued with the bovine. Violet hurled herself against the policeman's shelter He drew his club and shook it sternly in her face. She recognized no authority. JESSE BINGA, Banker RANKIN & WHITE, Druggists PETER P. JONES, Photographer VIRGIL MACKEY, Tailor ROBERT S. ABBOTT, Publisher COMMITEE. Manager, Street! GOTHAM and her CITIES Nipped in the Bud of Tonopah," or the "Twining Twins of Tucson" had nothing on him. Policeman Fried was on fixed post when a man came along and told him about the miniature arsenal. It did not scare the policeman a bit. He sauntered over to the hallway and bore down on the embryonic western terror. Without pulling a gun on him and telling him to throw up his hands he grabbed him by the scruff of the neck, gave him an old-fashioned clout and sald: "Sonny, what have you got in your pockets?" With an awful scowl the boy bandit faced his captor. The officer took him upstairs where the family was found in a condition of terror. Fried then took the pocket edition of Jesse James to the West side police station. The two guns were fully loaded. The slungshot was one of the toughest looking weapons the police had ever seen. It was made up of nails and bits of steel and covered with leather, with a leather thong attached to it for the wrist. The dime novels were wonders of literary art. They ran all the way from "Diamond Dick's Last Dive" to "Whanged Into the Willies" and "Scarlet Sam's Sacrifice." The youthful desperado was held by Magistrate Cornell in the West side police court without bail under the Sullivan law. His mother was in court, but did not make any charges. It wasn't necessary the court assured her. Little Dickle Boy will be made an example of. The policeman tried for two hours to pacify the cow. It was a vain attempt. He telephoned for help. Chief of Police Leo McCormack of East Chicago got out of bed and headed a relief squad. Armed to the teeth the bluecoats descended upon the intrenchments of the cow. They were repulsed, and Violet went away. At noon the next day Violet strolled down the Pennsylvania tracks near Baring avenue, Policeman Esantrager said he could conquer any cow. He was rolled over in the street three times before he escaped. The driver of a garbage wagon who said he would tell his name if he defeated the cow went forth to battle. He, too, was defeated. Violet began to demolish freight trains on the tracks, when Policeman Harry Nangle stole upon her from behind with a rifle. There will be no inquest.

In any endeavor of Mr. Lewis the Defender wishes him suc cess, for he is one of the brightest and most popular young mien of this city. ‘There is not, perhaps, an organiza- on that has ‘met as regularly and promptly during the past year as the local Physicians’, Dentists’ and Sur- geons’ Club.

Every meeting is a help and a benefit. On Saturday night last there Was departure from the regu- lar business meeting and it was a feast of reason and a flow of oratory, The “medics” were present with their wives and sweethearts and all en- joyed the evening immensely.

Al the good storles which the late Maurice Barrymore, father of Ethel, Lionel and John Barrymore, told on himself never have been published and probably never willbe, Barrymore was in Kansas City Just prior to his final collapse and here is a story he told: Barrymore was Mrs, Leslie Carter's Teading support when that celebrated actress appeared in Belasco's produe- tion of “The Heart of Maryiund.” In the big third act Barryniore, the hero, was in the bands of the designiyg vil: lain, who had caught him off guard. ‘Two rookies bound Barrymore's hands and the villain, Ieft alone with his prey, taunted’ tho hero. It was Barrymore's “business” to squirm and to wall, “Oh, if my hands were free," he would’ repeat several times, ashe tried vainly to break the rope which held him fast. The villain would ap Proach and: sap his fingers right un- der Barrymore's nose, “Loosen “my hands, you devil!” Barrymore would exelaim, One night at this great and exciting moment In the scene Barrymore had Just finished his dare to the villain to loosen his hands when the traditional gallery god yelled out tn sharp, clear volee: “Why don't you kick him inthe shins, Barry; your feet ain't tied.” Barrymore cursed the part from that moment until his dying day. he eae Many people cannot remain unocew pied, and In their moments of leisure hasten to seize a book or a piece of embroidery: These are undoubiedly excellent means of distraction, but they are fatiguing for the eyes, upon ‘which the tmpose continuous’ work without a theak, One must know how to repose the eves just as one consid- ers it quitejnatural to rest the muscles after a SEE [Had an Object. “An Iristiman was sleeping with a eompanion.| In the middle of the night ho was digcovered out on the floor.

AUTOGRAPH TELLS A TALE Character of the Kaiser Revealed to Expert by Close Analysis of fia Signature, ‘There is always a certain amount of interest attached to the deductions drawn by graphologists from the sig- natures of eminent men. Here, for example, is an siiuminating slescription of the Kaiser's autograph, supplied by an eiainent Berlin graphslogist: “To begin with, there is a crochet, a sign of pertinacity, followed by a vert cal dash, showing audacity, energy, re- gurdless of any obstacle. “Then there fs an acute angle, a sign of firmness and aggressiveness. The first stroke of the “W" indicates a feeling of supe- rlority over the rest of the unl- verse. The termination of the impe- rial W" suggests that the sovereign sometimes finds himself struggling with the multitude of his thoughts, or the power of his instincts, “The other letters forming thé signa- ture show similar characteristics,” the graphologist proceeds. “The final ‘m' is indicative of great diplomacy, which to the analyist suggests subtlety. The letter also suggests the impossibility of the suppression of the ‘ego.’ The flourish which terminates the imperial autograph shows a suppleness of spir- i, a desire to be loved, also self-es- teem, “The two terminating points indi- cate defiance and -generally the char- acteristics are those of an extraor- ainary Imagination.” “Good One War” For many years 2 man named Dut- fon was @ popular conductor between Duluth and Two Harbors..

TACT BETTER THAN COMMAND Good Idea to Let “Less Criticlem and More Comradeship” Be Your Guiding Motto, “Less critfcism and more comrade- ship,” would be a helpful maxim for all homes, It $s easy enough to bo pleasant to the casual acquaintance, but the great diMiculty lies in being decent to those who are devoted to us—to those, who are ever willing to forgive our short- comings.

WOMEN MUST HAVE IT REMOVED. Citizens Who Boast of Wealth and Influence Calmly Witness Segregation in the County Jail—The Chicago Defender Calls Upon the Women's Clubs and Societies to Have These Conditions Changed—Chicago Men, Like the Colored Men of the South, Are Afraid to Protect Their Rights and Their Women From Even the Insults of a Chinaman. --- They draw the color line at the county jail. This nasty condition of affairs attracted the attention of many of our convention visitors and was called to the attention of the Chicago Defender by a woman whose husband was fortunate enough to be a recent inmate there. From every source we learn that there is no attempt on the part of the attendants to disguise the fact that the Negro and white inmates must be handled separated. In the "bull pen," the large cage in which the prisoners are allowed to exercise, heretofore every effort was made to keep them apart, but recently orders have been given to exercise the colored and white prisoners separately. There is the same nasty prejudice in the serving of meals and in the granting of special privileges. Jail Guards Don't Like Negroes. It is evident that the staff of guards are Negro haters. It is only under orders, after many complaints, that many of them can be constrained to treat a prisoner of color with ordinary decency. Many who are liberated from the county jail declare that they fare better in the police stations than they do in what is boasted as a model penal institution. The drudgery of keeping this vermin infested building is mainly the work of the Negro inmates. A shrewd idea is the advancing of nine months and year prisoners to the position of "trusties." In any other institution the "trusty" has won his place by good behavior and the position is one of confidence. He is a sort of assistant guard. In the Cook county jail the "trusty of color" is only a servant for the other inmates. Lawyers Know Conditions. A large percentage of the Negro lawyers are fully aware of these conditions. They visit their clients, accept their money, but do not raise their voice in protest against this disgusting condition. The taxpayers of Cook county intend their institutions to be run along proper lines, along the lines acceptable in the north and not along the lines that infest those regions south of the Mason & Dixon line. The jailer's attention is called to this flagrant disregard of the laws of the state of Illinois and to the fact that he is the responsible head of a penal institution in Chicago, Illinois, and not in Georgia. Chicago wants no Jim Crow business in any of its institutions. TOILET HINTS FOR MY LADY Suggestions for Proper Care of the Hair and for Improving the Complexion. To keep hair in curl and at the same time impart a delightful fragrance to the centre coiffure, dampen it with cologne water before winding it on the iron. Leave the hair on the iron until it is quite dry. Avoid any curling fluid containing gum arabic, as it leaves a white powder when dry, and this dulls and decadens the sheen of the hair. Scrim is the most sanitary material for face cloths. This cloth is porous and free from lint, allowing a free circulation of air. It also admits of quick and effective washing and drying, so that it can be cleaned after every face bath. Perfumed soap, except of the most delicate odor, is no longer used by the woman of refined tastes. The odor of a heavily perfumed soap is acrid and penetrating, completely effacing any finer fragrance from the scent bottle or sachet. Use a pure soap devoid of perfume, and apply your favorite toilet water as an astringent after the face or hands have been bathed. "Which is the largest railway station in Europe?" is a question which every newspaper has answered numberless times for inquisitive readers. From now till further notice the reply must be: That at Leipzig. Travelers who know the Fatherland have always classed the "Leipziger Bahnhof" as the most dingy and ugly in the country. For ten years artists and architects put their heads together to make it the acme of beauty and convenience, and now for ten years the builder has been busy. It has a frontage of 350 yards; 26 lines of rail run into it; it will see 400 trains a day; there are 50 clocks to tell the time. The finishing touches will take till 1915 and by that time nearly $35,000,000 will have been spent on it. Beatitude "He is a humble-looking citizen." "Quite so. And yet, he has achieved what he considers his masterpiece." "And what is that?" "A row of spring onions." --- Dipping Into Statistics "Did you know," began the young man when there came a pause in the conversation, "that I am collecting statistics? Well, I am. What is your favorite flower? And please name your favorite poem." The young woman sitting opposite him laughed. He looked aggrieved. "You don't seem to realize," he told her, "that I am serious. Well, I am. Why laugh?" "I thought you were trying to be funny," she told him. "Anyhow, you were funny. Wouldn't you rather try to be funny and succeed than attempt to be serious and fall?" "This is no time for harassing questions," the young man told her. "I am sorry you prefer to keep seated your favorite flower and your name admired poem, but, of course, I respect your attitude of reserve. However, you might tell me something else—statistical, also. I do not ask who is your favorite man; I simply ask what kind of a man is your ideal?" "You are terrifying in need of ideas for conversation, aren't you?" commented the young woman. "I think I have suggested a most interesting topic," the young man insisted. "You have no idea how devoted I am to statistics, and if you were at all kind-hearted you'd not slight the subject. "I suppose your ideal," the young man continued. "is a tall, dark, handsome youth with flashing bl—" "Fiddlesticks!" said the young woman. "Girls aren't as foolish as all that! A man's looks don't count so very much. Of course, a girl wants a man to be presentable and pleasant looking, but she doesn't care if he is actually homely, provided he's the right sort. Why, I've seen some ugly men who were simply fascinating—I don't know why. I suppose it was because they had such strong personalities. I shouldn't care at all about a handsome man for a husband. Such a man would be more than likely to be vain." "I glad you are so sensible," commented the young man. "It is cheering to the average grubby specimen of manhood to hear a girl talk like that. You see. If a man is not especially good looking he feels that the girls don't care about him. I know how it is myself. I—" "You!" interrupted the young woman. "I hope you don't consider yourself homely." "I never took a prize at a beauty show," confessed the young man. "Now, let's get back to our statistics. I suppose your ideal man is terribly rich and could shower automobiles and diamonds upon you with one hand while he wrote checks with the other?" "I'm sorry you have such a poor opinion of me," said the young woman. "It's all right to have enough money to pay the grocery bills and buy decent clothes, but I never yearned for great wealth. I think rich men are likely to be awfully selfish and frivolous or self-centered and pecvish. They don't have time to pay attention to their families and they drift away from their wives and get divorces—not any of that for me! No. I think people are lots happier when they have a modest income and live within it." "You certainly are a wonder!" declared the young man, admirably. "I never knew any other girl with so much sense. But I suppose you'd expect the man you marry at least to own his own home and be able to give you an allowance—" "Half the fun is working and saving together for a home," said the young woman. "A girl likes to help the right sort of man—" "What is the right sort of man?" inquired her caller, eagerly. She smiled a little, looked alright over his head and then met his gaze. "Why," she said. "I suppose the right sort of man is the one the girl happens to be in love with!" "That sounds plausible," the young man said. "I think you've made a very valuable contribution to my statistics, and I'm greatly obliged to you. More than that, it makes me happy to find that you care enough about me to marry me—" "My goodness!" shirked the young woman. "I never said one single word—" "I'd like to know why not!" he insisted. "You said that your ideal man was not good looking and had only a moderate income and didn't own his own home, and if that doesn't hit me I'll eat my hat. You'll never find any one else so nearly meeting that description, so you'd better grab me quick! Honest, won't I do?" "You are perfectly ridiculous!" declared the young woman, in confusion. "D-d-do you really mean it?" "Dare me to marry you, and see!" cried the young man, joyously.—Chicago Daily News. Why He Was Excused "Why aren't you doing service in the Mexican army?" asked the American.

"Nothing, majesty," was the unified reply until it came the turn of the Marquis Ginorl, who had lost castle somewhat because of his manufacture of pottery. "I am a potter, maestra—a maker of majolica," said the marquis in response to the king's question. "Thank God!" cried the king, "there is one noble in Florence who does something."

To be a successful hotel clerk you must have an even temper. There is no man under the sun who has so much to try his temper as a hotel clerk. The night clerk of a certain Baltimore hotel is a young man with the most polished manners. He is especially polite to the ladies, but a few evenings ago he nearly lost his equilibrium when a pretty guest asked him to loan her an alarm clock. "I must get up very tomorrow morning," said the fair guest; "can't you loan me an alarm clock—one that I can depend on?" "I will have you called at any hour you wish," replied the clerk. "That won't do. You might forget it, and besides, I have no watch, and if I wake up during the night I like to know the time." The clerk suggested that there was a telephone in the room, but that would not do, so he called the housekeeper, who loaned the fair guest an alarm clock. One night in a Texas town, John McCullough's company was playing Ringman, and young Sothern was to be the leader of the barbarian army. During the day he and his companions in arms ransacked the town for four coverings in which to appear on the stage. They secured some skins which had been imperfectly cured. In the scene where the barbarians rubbed on McCullough the tragedied stood againt and almost forgot his lines. When the curtain fell he turned to the fur-covered battalion and said: "Boys, you don't look like a barbarian army, but I'm d——d if you don't smell like one." 3832 STATE STREET CHICAGO Phone Douglas 5766 THIS REGISTERING HOME BANK FREE to our Savings Depositors; will start you saving and keep you at it.

A recent portrait of a lumpy athlete, who invites others, and without success, to try his system of physical development, shows that the false idea of physical perfection which obtained for so many years, and which demanded huge and knobby muscles of its disciples, has not yet quite died out. This type of manly perfection once useful perhaps to hang armor upon, was thought to possess the sanction of the golden age of artistry when the rubbery Farnese Hercules came to light, to be hailed as a supreme product of the Greeks. We know it now for an example of decadent Greek taste, fit companion of the absurd and sensational Lacoon. It is naught but a type of the strong man of maudeville with his clumsy masses of beef and his brain of a spoiled child, fit only to push his awkward dumb bells into the air, an enviable sum of achievement truly after a lifetime of work by a civilized human being. No less than strength, are speed and grace demanded of the ideal athletes, likewise a face of refinement and intelligence to tell of a brain within to comprehend art, music and literature, and the ability to plan victories either of peace or war. Look upon the Apollo Belvidence, which embodies the true dreams of health and mental and physical efficiency, with its face of exquisite beauty above a form whose eyes are tranquil poetry, yet shadow from their readiness to set into a浑然 view, when the call for action comes to the aid of the perfect savage, never resembled the Farnese monstrosity, the emulators of which find their place modernly so much better the trick—New York. 0 orc By Frank A. Young. CHAMPIONS PLAY HOPE. The second game of the series in the Presbyterian league between the Grace team and the Hope nine will be played Saturday, July 6, at Washington Park. Rivalry between these clubs is very keen and judging from the way both teams battled in their initial contest of their series a greater crowd should watch the second game than the large assemblage which witnessed the first. Baker, who pitched superb ball for the champions against his opponents, will work against "Tim" Reeves and the game should develop into a pitchers' battle. DARKER RACES AT THE OLYMPIAD. The Olympic team from this country has arrived at Stockholm and all eyes are turned to the Swedish capital to see what the dawker races will do in the events which begin today (Saturday). Besides Drew we have Jas Thurpe and two other Indians in the track events and the Hawaiian prince as a swimmer, from this country, J. A. Howard from Canada, a Jap in the Marathon race, and the Italians are not to be left out, either, so look out. Drew in Form. I want my readers to know what Mr. Murphy, the trainer with the American team, says regarding Howard Drew. Here are some remarks made to the Boston American, dated at Stockholm, July 2: --- "I am having a good chance to look over some of our competitors, and their work only convinces me that we will not have a walkaway with any of the races. We will be pushed to our limit. . . . I have never seen so many good men on one field . . . and the manner in which they go about their work shows they appreciate the task before them. "Today we use the Stadium. . . Howard Drew, the little colored sprinter. . . made the best showing of the sprinters, and showed that he can carry his speed through to 200 meters. He is getting away from the start like a flash, and it will be a particularly bad start which leaves him stranded." Mr. Murphy is the man who brought out the late John B. Taylor of the University of Pennsylvania, and who predicted a year ago Jack Johnson the best in the country. He has more men to success on the elite business and other for the country. Hats off to Mr. Murphy and good luck to Drew. Mr. Young Graduates Among the graduates of the Northwestern University this year is Roy M. Young, of Evanson, IL, the star football player on the Varsity team in 1910. Mr. Young is also well known in Springfield, IL, where as a high school he he made thing (1913) and again at Illinois University, where he was again found playing the steller role at football. Only his being a colored man kept him from being elected captain. Having played four years Mr. Young was assistant coach to Hamlet must fall. Mr. Young is now a dentist. We hope he meets as much success in the professional world as he did on the gridon. Much to the disappointment of her followers, Grace S. S. ball team did not play Saturday, the game being postponed till later in the season. Leaguers. Saturday and Sunday they J. A. Howard, the colored member of the Canadian Olympic team, who was dismissed by the team's coach W. Knox, on a charge of insubordination, made an appeal to the committee in London and was officially reinstated Saturday. Knox claimed Howard would not obey orders and was causing trouble, but the charges did not weigh very much. The Cubans. The Cubans are here and have been hitting and fielding like major beaglers. Saturday and Sunday they went up against the local U. S. league team, winning both games, the first 8-5 and the second 6-3. Kelley's men pounded Pedroso hard enough to win an ordinary game, but some classy fielding kept the Cubans out of danger. Two home runs, one by Villa and the other by Magrinat, with a man on base, were the features. Sunday's game was sewed up when Chacon hit a homer with Mendez on the sacks. This was before the largest crowd that has turned out at Gunther park this season. With these two victories added to their long string and bubbling over with much confidence, they came over to our American Giants park Monday, took them into camp by the tune 7-2. I went to see the game and all I can say is that the Cubans are the fastest bunch of colored players that play the national pastime. Our boys didn't have a chance. They used 12 men and could have used that many more. The Cubans just yed them off their feet. Our boys made four two-base hits, but couldn't do anything on the sacks. The islanders had it on us because they have played the major leagues, such as the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Americans (the world's champions), and the Detroit Americans during the winter months, and by their combination of delayed double steals three times with success readily showed the result. I believe in giving credit where credit is due, and the Cubans deserve it. Among the spectators were Rolle Zieder, Lee Tannehill, Matty and Mrs. McIntyre of the White Sox, who occupied boxes. Tuesday the Glants broke the Cubans' winning streak by beating them 76, only to be shut out Wednesday 54 the islanders taking the series, Midez beating Rube Foster. American Giants Sunday, on their home grounds, the American Giants won from the Spaldings in a pitchers' duel, Dougherty against McGill, before a large crowd. The score: R. H.E. A.

BILLY MAC CLAIN RETURNS HOME. (Continued from page 1.) position at the Palias de Tea and at the Theater de la Renaissance. In England, France, Belgium. After that he opened a big boxing club in the Belgian capital and during the years 1910-1911 engaged at his club some of the best boxers available in England, France and Belgium. It was during this period that he began to manage Sam McVey, his present protege, taking him from Paris to Brussels and thence to Australia. Mr. McLean and his charge, Sam McVey, landed in the Kangaroo on the 6th of September, 1911, and since that time McVey had six fights, losing only one to Laugford, which Billy described as a referee's fight. Billy declares that, being the first and only Negro promoter of any note in the world today, it devolved upon him to show his mettle and this he has demonstrated. He has shown that he is not only capable on the stage as a singer and dancer, but as a manager of boxers of world-wide fame. Mr. McLean carries with him agreements to engage colored theatrical artists and boxers for some of the great European cities. His chief mission to this country at this time is to see his mother and buy her a home. Then he will see the Johnson-Flynn fight and immediately engage the winner for his man, McVey, either for Paris or Australia. He with him has the necessary coin and and any man who puts up the necessary amount to bind the agreement can meet McVey at any of the places named. Will Challenge Champion. He intends to claim the championship for McLean should Johnson win and retire or to insist upon his meeting McLean, because of the feels that should Flynn win there will hardly be the chance of another colored man becoming champion, as Flynn may refuse to fight another. He thinks that McLean is entitled to the championship and said of Sam that he is an unassuming careful living man, and will be boxing when many of the present day boxers are out of commission, and to show his faith in his man he made the trip of 16,000 miles to secure a chance for his candidate. Mr. McLean has well-defined views on the race question. He said: "During my eleven years' trip around the world and my thirty years' experience on the stage, I am satisfied that the people of all races are for themselves, and in order that the Negro should become a factor in the world and take his place among men he must free himself from the abomable subservience to others which he must be to him as he is today. A Chain of Theaters He was greatly pleased to hear of the great numbers of theaters which have sprung up since he left the country eleven years ago. It is his idea to operate a chain of theaters. He favors Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and New York city. In this theatrical venture Mr. McClain will have as his associate Mr. Henderson Smith, of this city, who is famous the world over as the leader of the Ten Dark Knights. GIRDLE SHOULD BE NARROW Important Fact That the Woman of Middle Age Will Do Well to Remember. If the middle aged woman insists upon wearing a girdle, regardless of the length or width of her waist, she should have that girdle very narrow with long ends extending to the hem of her skirt. A certain well dressed middle aged woman who looks much slighter and taller than her true measurements affects girdles of satin or velvet ribbon of black or a deep shade of a color. The belt portion of the accessory never is more than an inch broad and goes about her waist, closing under two long ends, which are drawn over the belt, but not knotted or bowed. And these ends are weighted invisibly, for that middle aged woman knows that to figures proportioned similarly to hers fluttering ribbons and frivolous little frillings belong not. Elbow Gloves In Favor On the best authority it is said that in the wholesale houses not only in America, but in France and England as well, there has been this season a bigger demand for elbow length silk gloves than there has been for at least five years. At the same time the manufacturers at home and abroad have scarcely been able to supply the demand for long gloves of glace kid. These are facts that certainly contradict the rumor that we are going to wear long sleeves, and while there can be no doubt that many of the smartest houses are making long-sleeved models, it seems certain that they will have to wait at least until autumn to find them taken up with anything like enthusiasm. POLICE SEek Joker Chicago.—In response to an alarm call that a number of people were dead at 4846 Southport avenue, the police discovered that the place was a cemetery. They are looking for the joker. GREAT EXPECTATIONS OF WASHINGTON FANS PAUL THOMPSON PHOTO There was a time when Washington would have been satisfied with sixth, and hilariously happy at the thought of fifth place. Now it's worth one's life ever to talk cheerfully and as one satisfied of the possibility of a mere first division team. It's pennant or nothing. The fans have it all figured how the flag is to be landed, and even Manager Griffith thinks he has a NOTES of the DIAMOND Bloomington released Moxey Manuel, former White Sox pitcher. Rube Benton has defeated every club in the National league at least once. Charles Sterret, the Princeton catcher and this year's captain, has signed to play with the Yankees. Jerry Downs is a pretty valuable utility man. He is another Heine Zimmerman, and that's saying something. Otay Crandall is certainly the handy man of the Giants. The outfield, the infield and the pitcher's box all look alike to him. O'Day says that the Reds are as good as the Giants, except for slabmen. It may be. But that's a whale of an exception. Pitcher Witners of the Kansas City club was released by Manager Carr to the Grand Rapids (Mich.) club of the Central league. George Burns, the Giants recruit, began as a catcher, and says that any time all of the backstops are injured he will go behind the bat. Many baseball men are of the opinion that Leon Annes would work better if worked oftener. When in form he has few superiors as a pitcher. Pitcher Ashenfelter has been recalled from Springfield by Indianapolis. He was the leading southpaw of the Springfield club and noted for his control. George Teebau has had a couple of major league offers within the last week for "Red" Corridon, his shortstop. Teebau will not part with him at present. Tris Speaker is certainly out for leading honors in batting this year. He went the entire baseball menu in a recent gaine at St. Louis, when he got a single, double, triple and a homer. ONE MISTAKE BY HANK O'DAY Old Not See Bunt Fly Caught by Frank Dwyer in Game Between Cincinnati and Baltimore. Reference has been made, says the New York Sun, to the fact that Umpire Carpenter is now in the twelfth year of service with the Southern League. Hank O'Day umpired fifteen years for the National League and continuously. Bob Emile has been a National League umpire still longer. Apropos of O'Day, his success as a manager this year makes him the most popular and revered man in Cincinnati, but he hasn't always been so regarded there. Soon after Hank began umpiring in the National League he was officiating in a Baltimore-Cincinnati game. Frank Dwyer was pitching and an Orlo bunted the ball. Hank made tracks for first base, thinking there would be a play there, but Dwyer caught the bunt on the fly. Hank didn't see that, and he called the batter sate at first base. Up to a short while ago they were still harping on that mistake of O'Day's in Cincinnati. However, there never was a better umpire than O'Day and a few boots can be forgiven him. "I am the architect of my own for tune," said Mr. Dustin Stax. "Well," replied Mr. Golden Howes, "by being your own architect you're liable to get some curious effects, but you do save a lot of money on plans and specifications." A Gentle Sting.

Already he has bought Barney Pelty, and it is said that he has put in a bid for George Mullin, on whom Detroit has asked waivers. Right now pitching is the only thing over which Griffith feels prehensive. Right now Pitcher Groom is in rare form. Boston Red Sox Have Fastest and Strongest Outfield in the American League. Taken collectively and considering every point of the pastime, the Boston Red Sox boast of the greatest outfield parading in the major leagues, in Left Fielder Lewis, Center Fielder Speaker and Right Fielder Hooper. Other teams in both leagues have their bright stars, but none can claim a trio that measures quite so high as that looks after the Red Sox's gardens. Lewis, Speaker and Hooper can do all that is necessary on the dia- S Right Fielder Hooper. mond. Each can throw like a shot, their arms being feared by all the base runners; each can field, covering the territory coming in, going back or hopping to hbs right or left; and as hitters they are supreme. At present Speaker leads the American league's swat colony and Lewis and Hooper are up with the leaders as batters and run-gutters. Gets Lot of Credit Jack Ryan, the veteran catcher who is acting as coach for the young pitchers on the Washington team, and also making a few scouting trips for Griffith, is given a lot of credit for the present grand showing of the Washington team. Manager Griffith deserves the major portion of it, however. w Texas Oklahoma Officer New Texas-Oklahoma Officers.

It is a trifle disconcerting to be told that when the thrifty housewife expends from 20 to 28 cents per pound for the best cuts of beef about 60 per cent of the sum is being paid for water. Yet such is the case, about 60 per cent of the bulk of uncooked beef or mutton being water. . . . The flesh of pigeons is about 70 per cent water, that of fowls and ducks 65 per cent, while a really fat goose may have as little as 38 per cent of water in its composition. The flesh of fish varies considerably in the quantity of water contained, the figures ranging, according to the kinds of fish, from 40 to 80 per cent—Popular Mechanics. --- --- 3115 Prairie Ave. AMERICAN SOLDIER THE BEST World's Records for Marksmanship All His, and He Is Trained to Act on His Own Initiative. If there is one big, distinguishing trait of the United States regular, it is individuality. In every one of the great foreign military nations, particularly Germany and Japan, battalion and company officers and enlisted men are carefully trained not to think for themselves. They are used as mere chess pieces under the guidance of a master mind. In this country, where our melting pot has yielded us an extraordinary self-reliant, cool thinking, intensive initiative product, it is only natural that our soldiers should be trained as are our civilians. The United States army spends annually on rifle target practice five times the sum spent by any other army of an equal number of men, This applies, too, to our field and coast artillery. As a result, no better marksmans can be found than the American soldier and his cousin, the national guardman, who is trained along the same lines. Every world's fire control and accuracy record with rifle and big gun is today held by the American soldier. The United States army is small, in accordance with the will of the people not to support a large standing military establishment. But what we have is almost 100 per cent efficient, the splendid nucleus of the big army of regulars, militia and volunteers which we should place in the field if occasion required. It is only in equipment — quartermaster, commissary, medicine and particularly ordnance stores—that our army is lacking. Leslie's. --- Drinking Water With Food.

SHE COULD NOT REMEMBER Absent-Minded Woman's Peculiar Reason for Wanting to Be Rung Up on the 'Phone. Absent-minded persons surely try the patience of girls in the New Rochelle telephone office. Not long ago a woman confessed herself subject to extreme forgetfulness and requested the day operator on her exchange to ring her up every morning at 9 o'clock. A week later she said: "Central, what was it I wanted you to call me for at 9 o'clock?" "I don't know," said the girl, "You didn't tell me. You just asked me to call at 9 o'clock." "Too bad," said the woman. "I know there was something I wanted to do every morning at 9 o'clock, but I can't for the life of me think what it was." The 9 o'clock calls continued, however, and several days later the woman took central into her confidence again. "I have found out why I wanted to be called," she said. "A friend had given me a canary and I wanted to make sure of remembering to feed it. The poor littl. it is nearly starved. Hereafter when u ring won't you just say, 'Feed the bird,' and I'll go straight and do it?" Central promised, and the neglected canary is now a plump and contented bird—New York Times. New Directory Wanted One directory that New York needs but has not got is the names and addresses of former celebrities who are now running rooming and boarding houses. Such a volume would be highly appreciated by our nomadic population. Many a singer, actress, or writer who formerly held a place in the public eye has now settled down to the prosocial occupation of housing and feeding a small portion of that same public. Their houses are a magnet for young persons with the artistic temperament. One woman who once enjoyed a fair reputation as a violinist has five furnished apartments which she sublets, room by room, to aspirants for dramatic, operatic, and literary honors. Reflected glory rather than physical comfort is the portion of most of these satellites, but the privilege of hobnobbing with yesterday's greatness compensates for material discomfort.-New York Times.

"His little slanting eyes followed the butterfly movements of Lan-Tin here and there, the free toss of her little head and the graceful abandon of her arms as she flung them over her head, and again brought them down with a sweeping bend to the very ground. Lan-Tin forgot the mandarin and all his regal magnificence. She was playing a pretty little game of make-believe. She was the wind blowing through the plum tree. Tossing and twirling, bending low as did the drooping branches, waving slowly, rushing fiercely like a tiny whirlwind. With flushed cheeks and glowing eyes she was the spirit of the wind. "Then a funny thing happened. From outside the windows that opened on the perfumed Chinese night came the sound of loud hand-clapping and deep, strange voice shouting 'Braval' She dropped down on a cushion, no longer a wind fairy, but a little wilted flower."—From "The Tale of Little Lan-Tin." by Flo Hingler.

The Grand. The last half of the week commencing Thursday, June 27, contained the Buelah Buck Quartette of ladies, who were without exception the best ever heard at the Grand. Their voices blended splendidly and the act was beautifully dressed. Jolly John Larkins and Jennie Pearl improved on their act considerably by more elaborate costuming and a little more work, doing much more towards showing the public what a leading comedian and lady of two of our largest companies can do if placed in vaudeville. Cliff Dean and company in the comedy playlet, "The Burglar," were very good. Dora Pelletier and Charles Messenger were fair. The English comedy pantomime people, four in number, entertained well. The photo plays were exceptionally good. The first half of the present week starting Monday, July 1, was fine. It consisted of "The Invincible Four," three of whom were men (two of these being blind) and one woman. Their work was splendidly performed. All the voices were good and the specialties of the blind musicians were enjoyed to the utmost. Keene and Johnson, two clean-cut dancers, did some clever foot work and got the audience. Ernest Carr and company in the playlet, "The Grafter," gave an excellent insight into the well known and all too true grafting side of politics. Carlin Day is again with us. Klein, Ott and Nicholson in musical offerings mixed with comedy were fine. Black and McCone, knockabout comedians, were enjoyed by the patrons. The Monogram.

Grace Presbyterian Church was packed to its utmost when the above named play was given there on Friday evening, June 28, for the benefit of the building fund. Many pleasing and complimentary things were said to the musical and dramatic critique of the Chicago Defender concerning her efforts as a play writer, for which she is grateful, and the talent producing the drama received their full share of a well deserved appreciation. On Monday evening, July 1, the drama was repeated at Oakland Music Hall in honor of delegates and visitors to the Republican convention. A large and representative audience attended.

Pretty and Novel Device A girl who hits passed part of her life in Japan invited 16 friends to dinner recently, and in the center of the table was a large bird made of forget-me-nots. That the bird covered a photograph was not known until the finger bowl stage of the banquet. In the water were floating rose petals, and they gradually unfolded into a scroll, on which was written: "Get my secret from the bird." Curiosity was at high pitch when the young hostess turned the key and the bird softly sang "Marie and Philip want me to tell you that they are engaged and invite you all to the wedding." Congratulations then were in order, but the secret was kept so well until the bird talked that no one suspected more than a casual friendship existed between the hostess and her admirer.—New York Press.

Kansas City, June 22—A blue catfish weighing 1371 pounds, 5 feet 2 inches in length and with a mouth 8 inches between the jaws and 20 inches across was landed in the Missouri River by Philip Rudolph, a river fisherman, after three hours' tussle in which his boat was overturned twice. Rudolph was towing a net near the foot of Broadway when the net was suddenly jerked, overturning the boat. Rudolph barely succeeded in grabbing the net before the entangled catfish started away with it. Then the fight began. Finally with the aid of grabhooks, the boat, man and fish were towed to shore by reinforcements and the fish landed. It required three men to carry the catfish to the city market, where Rudolph sold it for $13.75, 10 cents a pound. Fish dealers estimated the age of the fish at 95 years.

Heavyweight Pugilist Retains Championship by Defeating Jim Flynn in Nine Rounds Pueblo Fireman no Match for "Jack.' (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Ringside, East Las Vegas, July 4—"Exit Jim Flynn" a hopeless "white hope." Battered, but still fighting, bathed in blood from head to feet and with a knockout his inevitable finish, the man-eating fireman lost to John Arthur Johnson, King of all heavies, in the ninth round this afternoon. Police interference 1 minute and 45 seconds after the closing round started brought the titular clash to a sudden finale, while both men were milling at a terrific pace. A short, powerfully built wing of the law, Captain Fred Fornoff of New Mexico mounted police, is the man of the hour. Packing a 44 that spoke louder than words, this official horned through the flag-draped ropes to perform his duty and quickly did it. As he said later, the bout had ceased to be a contest of boxing skill. Instead wholesale butchery was being committed, with the dusky glove monarch slowly but surely pounding Flynn into the land of Nod. Both fighters had resorted to foul tactics, though Flynn was the offender, butting, clawing, biting, swearing like a madman and repeatedly disregarding the warnings of Referee Ed Smith. Eight times during the abbreviated run of this heavily boosted combat the third man halted Flynn, on each occasion threatening to disqualify him if he again jammed his blond bean against John Johnson's golden smile. --- Fighters Are Warned. Five times Smith "called" the champ for holding and locking his opponent's rapid fire arms. In short, both parties were guilty. Johnson's bear hug, applied at close range, robbed the chunky Flynn of the use of his most effective weapon. In fighting and to tear himself free from Johnson's clutches, Jim resorted to butting. In this way he got in bad with the New Mexican authorities. As on the occasion of the Johnson-Burns fight at Rush Cutters Bay, Dec. 26, 1908, the interference of the police was the right and proper solution in to-day's fight. Flynn, early awakened to the fact that his chances were slender, grasped the only alternative, that of roughing it. As a rough-house miller, the Puebloan is justly entitled to all the medals of past and present days. His nose broken from a terrific right upper-cut in the fourth round, another long slit in his left cheek letting his blood spurt out upon the resin beaded canvas and both eyes glaze from the effects of Johnson's brand of punishment, the fireman surely looked the part of a rank outsider when the gun men burst upon the scene. But Flynn was far from through. Outweighed as he was twenty-two pounds and with the past master of his art, the merciless Johnson, towering head and shoulders above him, Flynn never slackened pace.

Monstere Nathan, the Jewish mayor of Rome, has just placed in the capitol the bronze mask of Pere Hyacinthe Loyson, offered to the Eternal City by the son of the great preacher. Several times following his rupture with the church Pere Hyacinthe returned to spend the winter at Rome in company with his American wife. During one of his latest sojourns there he yielded to a sweet mystification which made some strir in the Catholic brotherhood. It was in a warm autumn morning and the former friar, who was a great walker, with others took as the end of his excursion the little but of the "Three Fountains," hidden in the eucalyptus of which the monks make an elixir as delightful as chartreuse. The visit ended and the tourists departed for Rome. Our pilgrim noticed that the hour was late. Pressed by hunger he asked to dine at the convent. His smooth face, his Roman facial expression, his ecclesiastical dress, his bishoplike air, provoked the brothers to a respectful attention. For this mysterious unknown, whose incognito doubtless hid some high dignitary of the church, they selected a private dining room and "put the little dishes in the big ones." Several Trappists, dedicated to their vows to seclusion, begged the honor of serving him at table, and after the priest had pronounced the blessing the father of the convent himself wished to share the love feast. While knife and fork were at work, there was some conversation: "Of what diocese are you, my father?" "Of the diocese of the Gallican church." "But of what city?" "In partibus indifelium" (in heathen parts), says Here Hyacinthe. The hosts then allowed themselves to let slip some confidences. They even criticised the state of the holy mother church and spoke of "Pere Hyacinthe" not without blame, but with some sympathy. After a little glass of eucalyptine the guest made a sign to the father of the convent that he desired to speak to him alone. After the brothers had withdrawn from the roo, he said: "I am indebted to you for excellent collation and an hour of rejuvenience. Accept this for your charity. Am Pere Hyacinthe." The good father jumped back, hiding his face in his hands. Then, spontaneously, he pressed the hands of the heretic. And now Pere Hyacinthe has returned to Rome. Only according to his former co-feligionists he has mistaken the route. In place of taking the road to the vatican he has taken that to the capitol.—Le Crie de Paris. Historic Chesapeake America's German naval guests, entering this country between Cape Henry and Cape Charles, cast anchor in one of the world's historic bays. Into the Chesapeake in 1697 sailed Bartholomew Gosnold, Christopher Newport and John Smith on the way to the foundation of Jamestown, and a few years later came the Maryland pilgrims seeking a colony site, which they found where the city of St. Marys rose. At Jamestown the English made their first permanent settlement in the new world—a world whose influence on the human race is not to be expressed in words. Close by is Yorktown, where the independence of the world's great republic was won. Over the Cheesapeake sailed ravaging British squadrons in the second war with England. Through that region round the bay armies of the north and south marched and fought in one of the world's stupendous civil wars.

The Germans entered at one of the historic gates of the nation—Washington Star. Royalty on the Mans: Now that the Princess Patricia has given her name to the new district of Ontario, it may be said that the members of the sovereign families of Britain during the last three centuries figure handsomely in the gazetteers of the world. Maryland was named in honor of Henrietta Maria, whose husband granted it to George Calvert, first Lord Baltimore, and his heirs forever. The Carolinas are named after Charles II. While Georgia was named in honor of George II, in whose reign it was colonized. An island was named after Princess Patricia's great-great-grandmother, the good Queen Charlotte, while even the memory of that rather colorless lady, the wife of William IV., is immortalized in the capital of South Australia. To come down to our own day and generation, it is hardly necessary to recall that the grandparents of Princess Patricia, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, are lavishly commemorated on the maps, or that her uncle, the late King Edward, is commemorated, among other parts of the world, in Antarctic lands. Probably no nonroyal personage recently living is so well assured of this form of immortality as the late Cecil Rhodes. --- Powerful Warship Battery The newest two American battleships will be the first in the world to group three 14-inch guns in single turrets.

Dr. Stephen Morrell Newman (white) has been elected president of Howard university. His election gives satisfaction throughout the city as he is well and favorably known here. Dr. Newman is sixty-seven years old. He was born at West Falmouth, Me, Nov. 21, 1845. He was graduated from Bowdoin college in 1867, the very year Howard university was founded, receiving the degree of A. B. The degree of A. M. was conferred upon him by the college in 1870. He then entered Andover Theological seminary, from which he was graduated in 1871. The degree of D. D. was conferred upon him in 1887 by Bowdoin college. Dr. Newman was married August 15, 1871, to Miss Louise McManus of Brunswick, Me. He was pastor of Trinitarian Congregational church at Taunton, Mass., from 1781 to 1878. He was then called to the First Congregational church of Ripon, Wis., where he served as pastor from 1878 to 1885. In 1885 Dr. Newman came to Washington as pastor of First Congregational church. He remained at the church twenty-one years until 1906. In 1908 he was appointed president of Eastern college, Front Royal, Va. He remained at the head of the institution for nearly two years. From 1909 to 1911 he was president of Kee Mar College for Woman at Hagerstown, Md. Dr. Newman was professor of mathematics and biology in Ripon college from 1880 to 1882, and was professor of church history in the theological department of Howard university from 1887 to 1891. He is a member of the Washington branch, American Institute of Archaeology, the American Ornithologists' Union, the American Historical Association, the American Fern Society, the Sullivant Mess chapter, Colonial State University, Delta Kappa Epsilon and the Phi Beta Kappa He is a Republic In politics.

It originated many years ago, when tar and pitch first were used to coat the bottoms of vessels to make them waterlight and to cove the rigging of ships to preserve it from the action of the weather. All ships carried always a supply of tar among their stores, and hence the original of the term 'naval stores.' It was used only by ship builders and ship owners and others who had to do directly with shipping, and was a nautical term only. Then, when the products of the gum of the long-leaf pine came into general commercial importance, the term was accepted as a fitting one for all articles of commerce manufactured from that 'substance, and is maintained to this day, although the uses that created it have little to do with the interests of the trade. Luminous Metal Discovered Luminous Metal Discovered. For generations the peasants of Cornwall have handed down a legend that at night there may be seen a faintly luminous metal among the rocks brought from the mines of the county. A British scientist has proved that this story is by no means based on imagination. A specimen of the mineral autunite, which is also found in Wales, was sent to him from Portugal because of its shining character. He finds that it closely resembles artificially prepared salts of uranium, and that its luminosity is due to spontaneous radio-activity. The light it sheds is stronger than that of nitrate of uranium. Upon parting with its water of crystallization the metal fiscus its luminosity. Smuggled Tobacco Popular. Smuggling is still a fine art at Dax England. Most of the smugglers a fishermen. The smuggling is main in tobacco and spirits. Smuggled bacco is in strong request through the agricultural district of east Kent. It is hard, black, powerful seems to suit the local palate. To unacustomed stranger it is not pleasant smoke, but many a man of Kent waits longingly for the arrival of the smugglers' carrier with his fresh supply.

(2) Element of Decay Indirect influence had its nearly perfect work in the Persian empire, where the Queen Mother was permitted to exercise an injurious influence over the king, the court, and the empire. It was one of the tendencies which leads Sayce, the historian, to be "for touching upon it" "Mr short, the empire contained within it from the first all the elements of decay."

Declares Candidate Entirely Lacking In Moral Character and Proves It by the Episode of the Bebe: ¥ “Quigway,” said Weatherwax, “we want to elect Clinker alderman’ from this ward. He's the finest kind of a man, stands strong for the uplift and all that sort of thing, but he always has refused to have anything to do with politics. However, we need him, and if the matter Is placed before lim in the right way he'll consent to run. A committeo of leading citizens of the ward will call on him this evening, and we want you to go along and help us persuade him to make the race.” “ell, you can count me out," re- piled Quigway. “I haven't any use for Clinker, and { think our institutions have come to a dickens of a pass when such a man is even suggested for pub- Ue office. Clinker fs entirely Incking fn moral character, and it will bo an evil day for the people when he goes Into office.” “You're talking through your turban, Quigway. Why, Clinker has a spotless record. You can’t find a flaw in it any- where.” “Well, that shows all you know, and if you elect Clinker I'll move out of this ward and stay out. I couldn't slep at night if that man was in of- fice. “Two years ago I was looking around for a good, respectable family cow, the kind you read about in Sun- School books. I didn't know anything about cows, except that they gave milk under proper conditions, and we wanted@teal milk in our louse. Clinic er heard that I was in the market for cow, and he came over to my place and told me he bad the very animal T wanted. I had the utmost -faith in him at that time and placed myselt entirely in Ils hands. I told him can. didly that F didn't know a cow from a. canal boat, so far as practical informa: tion went, and asker him, as man to man. to give mo a square deal. “fle placed his hand on his heart and swore by his grandmother's nut- meg grater that the cow he was of- fering for sale wag perfectly refined and Iadylike, and that she gave an abundance of real mill. So I took him at his word, Weatherwax, and counted out &0 large, gun metal dol- Jars, which represented the savings of months. He brought the cow over and tied her in my shed, and In the evening I went forth with a beautify new tin bueket and sat down to mille her. ‘The next thing I knew [ was standing on my shoulderblades, and that handsome new tin bucket was Hattened against the roof of the shed. T never saw a cow as ambidextrous with her hind legs—and Clinker said she was so tame the children could play with her! “I went over to his place, my blood boiling with indignation, and he went back home with me and surveyed the seene of the uprising, and had the nerve to say that.the cow kicked be: cause I sat at her left side instead of her right side, when T began to milk! As though a cow cared for such tech- nicalites! That's the sort of a man Clinker is. He's a sea lawyer, who would rather argue far-fetched points than be just and fair. T wanted him to take the cow back, but he wouldn't Qo it. ‘The cow was just as he repre- sented her, he sald, and the fault was ailmine, ‘That's the way he'll eonduet himself if Ke breaks into the council. He'll say the fault Is with the people who elected him, If anything goes wrong. “A week after I bought that cow she anit giving milk altogether. She didn't give any more milk thin a Inmber wagon, and Clinker had assured me tat she would keep the family sup- plied for a year. I went to him and read the riot aet, and he asked a lot of fool duestions and then took refuge In technicalities again. He said the cow went dry because I milked her at all hours of the day. Did you ever hear anything like that? ‘There wasn't a clock in the barn and the cow didn't carry a chronometer, and it made no difference to her when I milked her And that’s the kind of a man you want to elect as alderman! “When you place the destinies of this town in the hands of men of that character it is time for good citizens to hike for the tall timber."—Chicago News. freland’s Population, ‘The pepulation of Ireland on Apri 2, T9UL, was 4,281,951 persons, show lng a decrease of 76821 since 1910 An Increase of 7 per cent was showz In the province of Leinster and de creases In the other three provinces ‘The. number of families in 1911 was 912,711, an Increase of 2485. since 1901, and the average number of persons per family was 4.8, against 4.9 in the earlior year, elfast in ereased from 349,180'to 285,492 in the 30 fears from 1901 to 1911, Dublin from 290,638 to 209,272, and Cork from 76,122 to 76,522. * ‘The emigrants leaving Irish ports numbered 30.573 in 1911, a decrease of 1,884 from the 1910 ‘figlives.

And now, the second day of the show, he had rejected his chance to go. It certainly was not normal con- duet on Willie's part. His Aunt Victoria cornered Willte that evening and offered him some chocolates. “Tell me why you don't want to go to the circus," she said, be- gullingly. “Huh!” sald Willfe. “I seen it.” “I knew perfectly well you weren't going to be sick,” she sald, triumph- antly. “Have another chocolate. Did you go to it yestérday?" “Huh! confided Willie. “I wuz in i ‘Aunt Victoria clutched the chatr arm. “in it?" she repeated falatly. Willie kicked one foot meditatively against the step. “Well,” he amend- ed, “not eggzactly in it, y'know. I wus on it.” Aunt Victoria felt her back halr dis- tractedly and swallowed hard. “Willie! she cried impressively. ‘Tell me this minute what you mean! if your mother dreamed—" Willie edged nearer. “I rode a nele- phunt,” he confided, “In the parade.” “Do you mean to say,” his question- er gasped, “that you actually were in the procession? /Ou an elepbant that has a million more germs than a Ay has—and you know how frightened your mother is if a fly gets near you? How did you dare—" “A man sald I could,” Willle pro tested. “I was hanging around with the other kids. I seen it all because I crawled under the tent. I helped feed fhe elephunts an’ tho man he ast if 1 wanted to be in the percession, an’ I sald I did, an’ hé got red coat an' I wore it!

Willie's father hages germs as much as does Willie's mother, and ho was annoyed on hearlug of bis son's deeds, “You really ought to tell him not to do such things!” he sald to his wife. It was then that Willie's mother turned on Willie's father. “My good- ness!” she said. "Who on earth would ever thini on getting up in the morn- ing of telling a perfectly well brought up child that he must not on any ac- count put on a red coat and ride an elephant!

THE BEDBUG AND THE FLY Health Department Says Both Are Bad, But Prefers the Former. ‘The community with a high typhoid death rate is 2 community with low sanitary standards.

The bedbug Is bad enough, but the fly fs 80 much worse there is no talking about it. ‘The old dea concerning uouse Mies was that they were scavengers and for that reason were of service to any community. It is true that flies Teed on filth and in that sense they are scavengers. They also treed in filth and thus their presence in any locality ‘means that there is nearby filth that should be removed. Air in the city parks, in the sub- vrbs, or out in the country is better than that in the industrial and con- gested districts of the chy. Trees help to Keep the air pure; they also add mnuch to the beauty and attractive. ness of a neighborhood. Because outdoor air is good we should spend all the time we can in the oper, under sun and sky, Good air makes for good health, and sun- shine is as good for human beings as it is for trees, plants and flowers. It is well known that the germs of dis- ease are quickly destroyed when ex. posed to the direct rays of the sun, So, if we get plenty of fresh air and sunshine We shall be stronger and healthier than we would by spending all our time indoors. When com- maunity interest supersedes personal interest then community problems are solved and the things are done that make for community good. «How: Taate te Cultivated, Peopls “who live in climatgs where malaria abounds, frequently “have to ‘take eo much quinine that they get to Jove the taste of ft, and to take it ¢ally, even when they do not need it, dust because ft tastes good to them ‘And yet quinine 1s one of the bitter fest, of drugs and these same people, did they move away from the malarla istrict for a few years, would soon get to detest the taste of ft. ‘Timely Weraing, “My good man, they need laborers ‘badly in tho next town.” “Thanks for the warning, boss.
