--- VOLUME VII. NUMBER 37. A Fearless HONEST CHAMPION of the People DEMOCRATIC EVACUATION OF MAINE AND THE NEGRO The Maine Election a Fair Index to the Temper of the Country—"An Appendix Will Never Be Aught But an Appendix," Says the Writer, "and the Good People of Maine Have Just Performed a Minor Operation for Appendicitis — Party Runs Amnock Like Proverbial Bull in the China Shop." EXPERTS IN THE ART OF TRICKERY. At No Time in the History of Things Political Has the Democratic Party Had Any Love for the Negro—Lies and Subterfuge Their Stock in Trade —Even Ben Tilliman is Disgusted With the Party That Tolerates Such Leaders as the Skunk, Gov. Blease —The Negro Can Never Be a Democrat. After the cut and shuffle of the political cards of the week, William Howard Taft holds decidedly the best hand. The prodigal-like homecoming of the state of Maine to the fold of Republicanism, after two years of durance with Democracy, will have a more far-reaching affect than is displayed upon the mere face of the reforms. For forty or more years, with in-consequent interruptions, the Democratic party has been a hungry knocker beyond the outer gates of our government, and in the northern states the people have been charitably disposed to let it try its hand—not that the necessities or economies of government demanded any change, but because they felt that perhaps they could find some practical use for that party, instead of entertaining it as a sort of vermiforum appendix to our sort of vermiform appendix to our great American. Maine Has Appendix Removed. But, alas, an appendix will never be aught but an appendix, and the good people of Maine have just performed a minor operation for appendicitis, cutting out the Democratic party in that state unceremoniously and decisively. The Maine election furnishes a fair index to the temper of the country. It has been demonstrated that the Democratic party will always be more or less an "also-ran" organization, fully qualified as a contender, but singularly incompetent when it comes to turning out a finished product of good government. Take for instance the situation in Ohio, where the prevalence of internal party unrest, not to mention some covert machinations, in which the fine, Italian hand of Theodore Roosevelt figured, a Democratic governor and legislature was elected four years ago. In Collusion With Governmental Iniquity The Democratic governor, Mr. Harmon, developed enough general availability and personal acumen to be considered a possibility for the Democratic nomination for president, and was re-elected to the end that his chances might not be prejudiced:. The first two years of Democratic rule was a term of inertia, characterized by a diffidence and hesitancy, owing possibly to the strangeness of the surroundings and to being unacustomed to power; but when they entered into the second term they fell into collusion with governmental iniquity and racial discrimination with a perforwert and friskiness that could not be outdone by the meeting of two strange puppies. No Chance for Negro. As is usually the case when the Democratic bull runs amuck in the china closet of the public, the colored man's crockery gets smashed first of all. After revising, devising and supervising the statutory regulations of the state, beginning at the bridging of Dun and going a trifle beyond the irrigation of Beersheba, the Democrats fell upon a plan of railroad legislation. As the ball arrived at its passage, it was distinguished chiefly as exhibit "A of picturesque verbiage, but concealed beneath a mass of English, both sacred and profane, was a stinger designed to get the Negro. The bill provided that every railroad train carrying passengers should be manned by a certain number of trainmen, no one of which could be employed unless he had to his credit two years experience as a brakeman. Call Brakemen Porters. Now, that reads pretty good at first blush, but there was absolutely no provision made for 2,000 or more colored porters who made their living working on the trains. While they were brakemen to all intents and pur- The Chicago Defender. poses, possessing a full knowledge of everything that is required of brakemen, they were Negroes, and as such were classified as porters, for whom the law, with ingenious omission, made no provision. Under the Democratic law they lost their jobs and men who had been employed by the railroads for years were deprived of a means of making their living. Hasn't Capacity for Big Things in Statecraft Verily, for ways that are dark and tricks that are vain, the heathen Chinese is a poor specimen when compared with a Democrat, bent upon discrimination and injury to the colored citizens. The result in Maine is proof positive that the Democratic party hasn't the capacity for undertaking the big things in statecraft. They have been weighed in the balance and found wanting, and when the November election comes it will be seen that the people will be satisfied only with the government as set forth by the Republican party. It is the kind they have always had and is especially the kind that brings contentment and prosperity. VIRGINIA MOB HANGS WRONG MAN Get Evidence Proving Man Was Not Gulty After They Lynch Him—Most of the Cases Are Like This. Princeton, W. Va., Sept. 13.—That a mistake was made in choice of victims in the lynching of Walter Johnson following the alleged attack on Nita White (white), 14 years old, is the belief of the authorities here. Glasscock has ordered an investigation of the lynching and in his letter to Prosecuting Attorney J. O. Pendleton, directing it, wired: "He who lives by the sword dies by the sword." After a consultation between Pendleton, Judge Maynard, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Ross, Mayor Pennington and Sheriff Ellison a statement was issued in which they declared there is plenty of evidence that Walter Johnston did not commit the crime for which he was lynched. Mrs. John R. Marshall and Miss Estelle L. Arnold "At Home" in Honor of Mrs. Charles J. Pickett. Mrs. John R. Marshall and Miss Estelle L. Arnold received on last Friday evening from 6 to 8 in honor of Mrs. Charles J. Pickett, Mrs. Henry Lewis, Miss Mamie Lewis and Miss Theresa Stubbs. The reception was one of the most brilliant affairs given this season. The ladies in the receiving line were beautifully gowned. Mrs. Pickett was charmingly attired in a black liberty satin; Mrs. Lewis, gray marquisette; Miss Mamie Lewis, pink crepe de meteor; Miss Stubbs, lavender crepe de meteor. The house was exquisitely decorated, as was the table. Many guests called while Prof. Garfield Wilson and W. H. Brown discoursed beautiful music. DAILY PAPER FOR NEW ORLEANS $150,000 Corporation Formed to Run Dally Paper and Big Publishing House. New Orleans, Sept. 13.—Men of the race here have formed a corporation to run a publishing house and daily paper to let the members of the race in this section of the country see and know what the others of the race are doing in other sections. One of the members of company said, "We are the only race that is not making work for our sons and daughters. The time is at hand now that we should act and we should be outspoken on everything that is of vital importance to our race. Therefore we have named the paper the 'Dally Spokesman,' and we hope to speak, too, not too loud, but in an audible manner, so as to be thoroughly understood." UNCLE SAM STOPS PENSION GIVER May Be Lynched for His Efforts to Defraud. Rome, Ga., Sept. 13.—For the past three or four weeks Turner Keaton has been going through the county fleecing right and left ex-semi-slaves out of money, promising them the reward the government ought by right to give them for serving under the hard task masters who held them in bondage. Mr. Langston, an ex-slave who was touched by Keaton, had him arrested and it was not until this was done that the community knew that the self-styled commissioner was only an impostor. Mrs. S. A. Leonard, Mexico, Mo., who came to spend carnival week in Chicago 'as guest of Mrs. Yarbrough, 5319 Dearborn street, returned home Thursday night much pleased with her stay and old friends.

Some of the White Farmers Think He is Hoodoo Man and Say He Fools Mother Earth—She Thinks He Is a White Man and Yields for Him Readily. Jackson, Ga., Sept. 13.—In the township of Jackson, named for the famous cotton wizard, the citizens are giving corn husking parties and serenades night after night at the home of Mr. Jackson. All this is being done because on Tuesday, Sept. 3, when he brought into market the first bale of cotton made in the entire south, Mr. Jackson led, the world. In speaking to a correspondent of The Defender Mr. Jackson said, "I am just a common farmer, who takes the Bible at its word, and study nature as the others do not and then follow the laws of nature. In this way I am able to give to the world the first bale of cotton. Not Afraid of Being Lynched. "No! Why, no! I am not afraid of being lynched for raising the first bale of cotton. You see the white people in this county represent colleges and high schools and they are all highly educated and we do not allow the white nor colored trash to linger long here. I have both white and colored to work for me and we get along together as we ought to live the short time we have here on earth. You must excuse me now, see the cows are getting a little fresh; I must get at the milking." Mr. Jackson left and your correspondent returned to Atlanta. NATIVE AFRICAN LECTURES ON RACE Rev. Pela Penick On a Tour of the South—A Graduate of Howard University. (Special to The Chicago Defender). Savannah, Ga., Sept. 13—Among the visitors of interest in the city this week is the Rev. Pela, Penick, a native African, who came to this country about twenty years ago with Bishop Penick of the Episcopal church. Rev. Penick was born in Farjah, West Coast of Africa, which borders on the Sahara desert. After the death of his father, who was the hereditary chief of the Farjah tribe, which numbered more than 5,000,000, Pela, who was eight years old, was put in the charge of his uncle, a dealer in ivory, who took him to the west coast, where he was noticed by Bishop Penick. Shortly after this Bishop Penick brought Pela to this country and he became a student at Storer college, West Virginia. After graduating there with honors he entered Howard University, where he graduated from the theological department in 1906. Since then he has been engaged in missionary work, lecturing in various parts of the country. Before the World's Congress of Negroes held at Tuskegee, Ala., in April, Penick delivered several interesting lectures. He will lecture at the First Bryan Baptist church on Monday night in the interest of his work and doubtless a large crowd will attend themselves of the opportunity of hearing something of the customs and habits of the inhabitants of Central Africa. Admission to the lecture is free. VOTE FOR MRS. CARTER Chicago Defender Readers Who Read the Examiner Are Urged to Vote for a Well Known Chicago Lady in the Popularity Contest Running in That Paper.

JACK JOHNSON'S WIFE, ILL KILLS SELF Mrs. Etta Johnson Dies from Self-Inflicted Wound Early Thursday Morning — Prays with Her Maids Before Committing Deed—Suffered with Nervous Ailment—Oftimes Became Hysterical—Champion Is Disgusted with the Efforts of the Daily Newspapers to Make Domestic Friction the Cause for the Deed. PATHETIC DEATH "She Didn't Know How Much I Care, or She Would Never Have Done It," Agonized Cry of the Champion—News Shocks Entire Community — Inquest Held at Daniel Jackson's Morgue — Champion's Friends Send Telegrams and Messages of Sympathy from Every Part of the County—The Funeral. Mrs. Etta Johnson, aged 31, wife of Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight pugilist of the world, died at Provident Hospital about 3 a.m., Thursday, from the effects of a self-inflicted bullet wound at her apartments 41 West 31st street, some hours earlier. The news of Mrs. Johnson's death caused a sensation throughout the city. Mrs. Johnson had many friends in Chicago. The champion was very much annoyed by several sensational stories in the daily newspapers harping on domestic troubles. He emphatically denies this. Telegrams and messages of sympathy have been pouring in on the champion ever since the unfortunate occurrence. Funeral services will be held today. Mrs. David Terry, of Brooklyn, N. Y., Mrs. Johnson's mother and sister arrived in the city Friday morning. Telephones to Sister-in-Law Previous to the shooting, Mrs. Johnson telephoned to her sister-in-law, Mrs. Jennie Rhodes, 3344 Wabash avenue, and asked her to come over at once. Then she summoned her two maids, Miss Mabel Bolden and Miss Helen Simms, and asked them to pray with her. The three women knelt down beside her, and after a few minutes of prayer Mrs. Johnson requested the maids to leave her for a few minutes. While the maids were gone, Mrs. Johnson took a revolver belonging to her husband from a dresser and shot herself in the right temple. The bullet passed through her head. Edward Holland, a bartender in the cafe below, was the first to hear the shot. He rushed upstairs, broke open the door, which Mrs. Johnson had locked, and found her lying on the floor. About to Leave City. Mrs. Johnson was preparing to leave for Las Vegas, N. M., when she was seized with a nervous spell. According to Johnson, it was on account of nervous prostration that he had planned the trip for her. Johnson had just returned from down-town, where he had made arrangements for her trip, when she shot herself. He rushed upstairs from the cafe and found her unconscious. During the night he remained at her bedside. Except for an attack of nervousness, Johnson was unable to assign any motive, for his wife's attempt to end her life. Mrs. Edward Smith was to have accompanied Mrs. Johnson to New Mexico. The former was waiting for word from the pugilist's wife when a telephone message notified her that her intended traveling companion had tried to commit suicide. Johnson asserted that because of his wife's nervous attack he had about decided to tell her that she had better abandon the trip, he having previously notified Mrs. (Continued on page 7.) MISS HARRISON SE-CURES NOTED TEACHER Mr. Ferrucco Busonl, Greatest Living Pianist, Becomes Interested in Gifted Young Performer Whose Playing Has Pleased Chicagoans. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Berlin, Sept. 11.—Hazel L. Harrison, who for the past year has been studying in Berlin, Germany, under Hugo Van Dalen, speaks of the good fortune that has come to her. Mr. Ferrucco Busonl has consented to direct her studies for the coming year. Mr. Busonl is probably the greatest living pianist and also a great composer. When Mr. Busonl heard Miss Harrison play he said she was "very gifted, had strength, rhythm and poetry and if she would follow his advice she would have undoubted success." Hugo Van Dalen, her present teacher, is a former pupil of Mr. Busonl, who for the past two years has not taken any pupils, but after hearing Miss Harrison play in his own home, became interested in her and offered to direct her studies. Miss Harrison will remain abroad another year and will also appear in concert in Berlin this winter. GEORGIA MOB BEATS PREACHER Rev. Grant Smith Discussing the Arrest of Two Men for an Illegal Attack Upon a White Woman Angers Some Southern White Gentlemen (7) Who Nearly Kill Him. Cummings, Ga., Sept. 13.—Wednesday, Sept. 7, race trouble was precipitated here following the arrest of two men for assaulting two white women when Rev. Grant Smith, a local preacher, is alleged to have made disparaging remarks about the white women of Cummings. The preacher was almost beaten to death by a mob of white men before officers rescued him and locked him in the vaults of the court house. The entire community has become aroused and has threatened to dynamite the town if any of their race is lynched. No effort has been made to molest the men locked in the county jail charged with assault. A company of infantry reached Cummings this afternoon from Gainesville, having been ordered here by Gov. Brown. JEWISH HOLIDAY AFFECTS SOUTH SIDE Early Thursday morning several ladies were seen standing in store doors wating for the stores to open. One young lady was piping mad and was heard to say, "If Jake don't come and open this shop I will kick this door in." A reporter for the Defender happened up just at this point and told her that this is the time that the Jews go in sackcloth and ashes and if she wanted to spend a million dollars he would not sell her. Finally she said, "Well, Sam must have his cream in his coffee and I must go way down to that colored store where they keep bad cream." Our reporter had to laugh and told her that in Chicago everybody had to sell the best. She said she was from New Orleans but would not give her name. F. L.

With them I can detect pulsations, irritations, and temperature instantly." WEATHER AND NERVES. The influence of excessive heat on human beings is amply demonstrated when the country is visited by extraordinary hot waves. In legislative and other deliberative bodies it leads to loss of temper and frequently to the passing of the lie. Individuals who are ordinarily even-tempered suddenly become morose or violent. The occupants of public conveyances are snappy in conversation and cross. There are also more suicides in warm weather than in cold. Deeds of violence and strikes predominate in the heated term. Most of these deplorable conditions are brought about by the ragged state of the nerves, and by loss of sleep. The disgruntled are run down in health. Many also are overtaxing their strength and consequently become nervous wrecks, says the Boston Globe. Overindulgence in smoking and drinking when the thermometer registers over 90 degrees causes faint action of the heart and dizzy spells follow. The wise man or woman, knowing how the hot weather can disturb their health and nerves, study how to keep from a breakdown. They control their eating, drinking and exercise, and keep within such limitations that they can pass through trying days of heat and discomfort with the least possible expenditure of vitality. They determine not to worry and to observe the laws governing health. Those who ignore these laws must pay a severe penalty. On account of the serious decline in the birth rate of Prussia—from 38 per 1,000 in 1901 to 30 in 1910—all the provincial governors have been instructed to make inquiries into the causes, which are thought to be economic and social, rather than purely physiological. The more small flats and tenements the fewer babies. The increase of prosperity in the more fortunate classes, the more strenuous and nerve-racking urban life and the spread of education all tend to lower the birth rate. The chief cause of fewer births in Prussia and throughout Germany, where the total of 2,000,000 is the lowest in the past 13 years, is believed to be in the housing conditions. Recent statistics showed that 600,000 Berliners are living in tenements of one or two rooms, with from 5 to 18 persons in each room. Babies born in such an environment naturally die early. Such conditions 'condice to race homicide' well as to race suicide. One portion of the British Isles is not likely to take much interest in the bill for reforming the calendar which is to be introduced into parliament, says the London Globe. The act enforcing the Gregorian calendar was passed 161 years ago, but it is still ignored in Shetland. Almost all through the group of islands the old style of reckoning time is still followed. What we call January 13 is New Year's day among the Shetlanders and celebrated by them with all manner of old observances, including the solemn drinking of the national toast—"Health to man and death to the gray fish." Again it is announced that the days of the hobble skirt are numbered. The announcement is made so often, and the hobble skirt is so apparently unconcerned, that the public, who hail any hint of the abolition of this abomination, are beginning to feel a trifle uneny. A young woman in Spokane has set a typewriter record of over 7,000 words in an hour. But any thoroughly angry woman with a good, plain working vocabulary can beat that record in spoken words and still have a respectable margin to spare. Some of the athletes this country sent to Stockholm are still having the time of their lives in Europe, and it helps a lot to know that their fellow citizens at home feel that nothing can be too good for them. Prize fighting by kinetoscope has now been done away with, but the heroes of the roped arena may continue to use the typewriter and the megaphone as before. The man who complains of the heat should contemplate the structural ironworker, the man who feeds the furnaces, or even the housewife in the kitchen baking his daily bread!

WHO'S WHO AND WHY CHAIRMAN OF THE EUGENICS CONFERENCE The First International Eugenics conference, recently held in London, was attended by men and women delegates from America, France, Germany, Norway, Italy, Spain, Greece, and Japan. It is interesting to note that the president of the society was the son of the very Charles Darwin who originated the theory of evolution on which its principles are based. "It is essential to bear in mind," points our Major Darwin, "the truth that if the human race is to continue to progress, indeed, if it is not to lose some of the ground so painfully won in the long ages of struggle in the past, some other agency, checking the reproduction of the feeble in body and mind, must be made to take the place of natural selection, the action of which we are now in so many ways rightly endeavoring to prevent."

P. Belmont at Newport's public beach. After 10 o'clock the public was excluded from Newport's miniature Coney Island. From that hour until they became tired, Mrs. Belmont's guests had full possession and enjoyed a night as informal as it was novel. Mrs. Belmont's reasons for giving a free evening at Easton's beach were threefold, aside from her desire to pay social obligations. Those reasons were a protest against extravagant entertaining, an intention to turn over to a public institution money expended in a social diversion and an argument against the hiring of men waiters.

G. SCHURMAN NE President Taft sent to the senate during the closing days of congress the nomination of Jacob Gould Schur- man, president of Cornell university, to be minister to Greece. This nomina- tion created some surprise, since there has been no announcement that George H. Moses, the present minister to Greece, was to leave that post. It was stated that Mr. Moses voluntarily tendered his resignation for private business reasons some time ago, and that it has been accepted. He expects to leave this post within a short time. Intimations that Mr. Moses was being recalled were without confirmation at either the White House or state department or from members of the New Hampshire delegation. Dr. Schurman, who has long been a close friend of President Taft, has arranged to take a year's leave from his duties as president of Cornell. In accordance with custom, Mr. Schurman, like all other ministers and ambassadors, will be expected to formally te whether President Taft is re-elected or of Cornell since 1892, and was born on ago.

John Aiden Explained. "I am an instructed delegate," he said. Not understanding politics, Priscilla manoeuvred a stampede. Darwin's theory of evolution, the survival of the fittest and the influence of environment in the development of organic life, has provoked much controversy, and has sometimes been allowed to remain in the dim domain of speculation like the atomic theory of Epicurus or the Platonic system of ideas. It has at last been recognized as something practical in the social life of the human race. The most sober-minded of physicians, economists, and philanthropists have acknowledged that the improvement of the race, the promotion of its happiness, and the prevention of many moral errors depend very largely upon a recognition of such laws as that of heredity. The parents of the coming generation are to be looked to for the furthering of the race's happiness in the future. It is upon this basis that a new science, Eugenics, has been inaugurated and has claimed the attention of the world. conference, recently held in London, was from America, France, Germany, Nor- it is interesting to note that the presi- ce very Charles Darwin who originated principles are based.

AFTERMATH OF BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETING Fifty Years Too Short a Time to Develop the Perfect Business Man—Dr. Washington's Many Friends. By D. W. Johnson. The thirteenth annual Negro Business League meeting has passed into history. It was attended by thousands of people, most of whom were friends and admirers of Dr. Washington and in sympathy with his efforts to better the condition of the race. Many of these were pleased and moved to halt the league as a grand success. Others were intensely interested in the experiences related by the different delegates, while many were disgusted with the vaudeville performances of some of them. I hope I may be pardoned for the expression of this article at this time, but I am of the opinion that it can be more readily accepted in its true light since time has rendered it possible for a cool consideration and impartial judgment of the merits and demurfs of the convention. Dr. Washington, as usual, made a splendid address, clear, forceful, but it was evident that some of the delegates failed to comprehend the purpose for which they were assembled. Apparently some thought it was a forensic society where they were to display their knowledge and art of eloquence instead of relating in a clear and concise manner their business experiences. Some of course exhibited a very intelligent conception of the purpose and conducted themselves in a businesslike manner. There is a large majority of colored as well as white people who are ardent admirers of Dr. Washington and wish him well in his work, and there are many who fully understand the adverse circumstances under which he has to work. While there are many men in his league who have had a number of years of practical business experience, it could scarcely be expected that many of them would have much more than a theoretical knowledge of business. Fifty years is not quite long enough to give the race a sound, practical business knowledge. With the thirteenth years of experience of this league it is the desire of the race that it be raised to a higher plane of excellence and usefulness. Black Don't Show to Advantage.

AT SUBURBAN HOME When Perkins, without consulting Mrs. Perkins, invited Hinchett to spend a week end with him and his wife at their suburban home, he made the error of failing to pry into Hinchett's family affairs as a preliminary move. He realized later that he should have put Hinchett through the third degree of the census bureau before extending the invitation. Thus he would have escaped the confusion that overwhelmed him on the Saturday when Hinchett descended upon the Perkins establishment with one wife, two children and one brindle bulldog. "I had to bring the dog," explained Hinchett brightly, when Perkins met him at the foot of the steps, "because there is no one in our apartment house that I could trust with him. Good old Bruno! He has to be fed just so or he is unhappy. Mrs. Hinchett," he went on, with a wave of his hand toward his wife, "and the little Hinchetts." Perkins knew that his wife was watching the reception from behind the living room curtains and that his standing at his domestic hearth depended upon his carrying the matter off with the air of its being quite what he had expected. "Come right in," exclaimed Perkins, heartily, as the children began pulling the geraniums out of his wife's flower boxes beside the steps. "Glad you brought the dog. He'll be company for our dog. Let me take your suitcases." "Oh, there's a hammock!" Mrs. Hinckhett exclaimed, making a dive for it. "I'm just worn out with the long trip from our place and the railroad drive and then the walk up here in the sun. You won't mind if I lie down a minute, you'll." Lincoln was very strong," Hinckhett explained. "Certainly not!" Perkins told her. "Go right ahead, Mrs. Hinckhett, and get rested. That's what we're here for." She tumbled into the hammock and Hinchett went down into the front yard to encourage Bruno in digging up the pansy bed that Mrs. Perkins had been working over all season. As Perkins walked into the hall with the satchels his wife selzed him. "Why didn't you tell me these people had children?" she hissed into his ear. "I could have gone away or got scarlet fever or something. You know that I've nobody to help me with the housework. And I was planning to make jelly today." "Hinchett held out on me," murmured Perkins. "He never mentined the kids. For the love of Pete, go and talk to 'em." "And that woman in the hammock is the one you said would help me make jelly if I let them come today," his wife said witheringly. "Maybe she will," countered Perkins. "You haven't asked her yet." Then Mrs. Perkins coaxed up a welcoming smile for the guests and went out to meet them, murmuring words of sympathy for Mrs. Hinckett, whose fatigue threatened to become permanent. About that time the Perkins fox terrier arrived from an excursion into foreign fields. When the two men had pried the bulldog loose from the fox terrier's neck Perkins took his dog into the basement and chained him to the furnace. While Mrs. Hinchett, from the depths of the hammock, was explaining to Mrs. Perkins how badly, she fell most of the time and how quickly she succumbed before exercising²⁴ of any kind, Perkins took Hinchett down to show him the village hall, and the other sights of which the residents of the suburb are justly proud. He wanted to get away from the atmosphere of the berries, which his wife had stocked up with to make jelly that day. When they returned an hour or so later they found the Hinchett's liloy boy had set fire to the barn, which had been saved by a remarkable demonstration of energy on the part of his mother, ably assisted by Mrs. Parkins, in pumping water and passing buckets. Dinner was not exactly a joyous meal, inasmuch as Mrs. Perkins kept thinking of new things to say to her husband after the Hinchetts were gone, and Hinchett whiled a way the hour with a detailed description of his courting days up to the moment when Lillian shyly consented to be his. Then before the men had finished their cigars after dinner the Hinchetts' girl fell out of a cherry tree and broke her collarbone trying to get the only two cherries on the tree. "I'm afraid we'll have to go home with her," sighed Mrs. Hinchett. "Oh, must you go?" Mrs. Perkins asked, while Perkins dashed upstairs for the suitcases. When the guests had been safely placed upon the train Perkins turned to his wife with both hands held aloft. "Never again!" he said fervently. "That week end thing isn't what it's advertised to be." His wife smiled grimly. "We'll have to hurry home," she said. "You have a hard day's work ahead of you yet—making jelly." "But it's late," protested Perkins. "It will be a great deal later before you get to bed tonight," returned Mrs. Perkins—Chicago Daily News. What Makes Snow Warm Snow is warm by virtue of its light and woolly texture. But it is also warm on account of its whiteness. Had snow been black, it would have absorbed the heat of the sun and melted quickly. Instead, it reflects heat, and the reflected heat falls upon bodies above the snow, while the warmth of the earth is preserved beneath it. More Women Use Alcohol.

VIRGINIA, MESSALINE, AND PANNIER OF ROSEBUDS "Pink messaline with pannier of rose point and a wee cluster of rosebuds on the ruffle and fichu. In-expressibly sweet!" Kitty was an exclamation point of admiration. Virginia regarded her younger sister with the expression of a yearning missionary. "Kitty, I wish you'd devote less thought to mere externals," she said. Undisturbed, Kitty surveyed her sister, immaculate in unruffled, unrempled, tailored linen. "Of course, Virginia, you're a distinguished settlement angel and all that, but if you don't think more about clothes you'll gradually drop off even the semi-feminine touches and emerge as Dr. Mary Walker," she declared, severely. "Anduj is really a good looker," put in Tom. Virginia, patient disapproval personified, absent-mindedly salted her breakfast food instead of her egg. "A woman with a sense of her responsibilities," she murmured, "realizes that life is too short to waste on such a trivial consideration. Uplifting humanity—" Tom said "Excuse me!" and fled. "Or the pursuit of some equally serious and worthy purpose should occupy her time and thoughts to the exclusion of frivolous, light-headed—" Kitty rose. "Sorry, Jimmy. I love to listen. Makes me feel like a little demon, but I'm going to do my ravishing pink batiste and loll over to Dorthy's. Her cousin, fresh from Harvard, arrived yesterday, and I think I'll wake up Bob to the treasure he's won if I chain the welcome stranger to my chariot horse, first chance." Virginia was truly shocked. "Kitty! You have so far forgotten the modesty becoming a young woman newly engaged as to race off in actual pursuit of another young man!" Kitty flushed, bit a sharp retort in two and came over to rub her hand lovingly over Virginia's glossy curls, brushed into unwilling smoothness. "I can't do Dot's cousin a bit of harm," she said meekly, "because he isn't engaged. I wish you'd get through saving humanity, finny, so you could have a good time with me. I've just six more months at home now." Virginia slipped an arm around her sister. "I only hope I can lead you to a true appreciation of woman's life work during those six months, Kitty, my not begin by coming to the club this morning?

You've the prettiest throat of anyone I know, and you bury it under all that chuffed lean. Collarless blouses are so fashionable, too." Whizzing along in the Maynard's touring car that afternoon, Kitty and Dot's cousin from Harvard were discussing brunettes versus blondes. "By Jove!" he said enthusiastically, "I saw a splendid brunette on your street this morning. Raving beauty, Italian eyes. Serious as a saint. Tall. Stately. I'm sure she never giggled. in her life." Kitty wriggled excitedly. "Awfully plain clothes?" He stammered. "Um-er. Rather reminded me of a nurse's costume. Dot's promised me an introduction, but that's as much as I can get out of her. Do you know her?" Kitty laughed appreciatively. "She's my sister and a practical humanitarian." "You don't say!" His face fell. "What'll I have to go in for to impress her? She thinks she're frightfully rude. I forgot my manners completely and stared at her." "Do't going to bring you to dinner tomorrow night," said Kitty, soothingly. "You'd better read up on social settlements." The next afternoon Kitty was applying powder over cold cream in anticipation of a round of tennis when Virginia appeared at her door, a blouse in one hand, a long pink ribbon and a scrap of lace in the other. Her eyes were perplexed and her face was flushed. "Kitty, you know so much about fashion, will you advise me? Do you think some lace at the throat would add a pleasing feminine touch to this blouse? And is this pink too bright for a belt?" In spite of the shock Kitty contrived a coherent commonplace. "Very becoming, Jimny. Shall I tie the ribbon for you?" Virginia handed it to her with a grateful look. "I wish to be a credit to the club this afternoon because I've been delegated to explain our settlement system to your friend Dorothy's cousin, Mr. Rogers. His aunt introduced him this morning after the kindergarten class. She told me in confidence that he has shown remarkable interest in 'settlement work.' Kitty choked and coughed hurriedly. "Look at yourself in the glass, sls," she said. Virginia gasped. "You've improved me wonderfully, Kitty. Perhaps I ought to pay more attention to clothes."—Chicago Daily News. Advice. "I would like to get some plants to put in my kitchen to give it an esthetic touch. What would you recommend?" "From the looks of the kitchen, madam, I would advise some scrubby plants."

Chinese and American Restaurant in Connection. HARRY J. KELLY, Pr "I am rioting in sentiment out here," wrote the last girl cottager at the Michigan resort. "The woods and I have things all to ourselves now and we are having the time of our lives. "They stand, silent in the October sunshine. But it is a silence of a different quality from that of the summer—it is breathless, eager. That is strange, since what they are waiting for is desolation to them—the touch of frost, the sad whirl of the winds. There is a golden quality to the very air, the reflection of the yellow of the beeches, the Indian orange and red of the sassafras, the yellowing brown of the oaks darkening into splashes of rusty crimson and streaks of luminous bronze. There is nothing in the world so like bronze as certain of the oak leaves. "Occasionally by some roadside, across some clearing, the eye falls on a great conflagration running close to the ground. It is the dwarf sumach, which is a veritable living flame. The goldenrod is all rusty and the wild asters have vanished. The ground is half covered by a patterned carpet from the trees above. Slashing through this riot of tones is something that glitters with an uncanny, rippling brilliance in the soft, steady pays of the sun—it is the inland lake, which was commonplace enough when just blue or gray in the summer. Now it is a sheet of quicksilver pricked by diamond points. "All through the woods is a rustling and scurrying and chattering, for the squirrels are getting ready for winter and making a great uproar about it. Max, the colli, passes his days in hysterical chases, covering the ground in the splendid, long leaps that only a colli can manage, but always the little red-brown squirrel flashes up a tree just in the nick of time and barks staccato defiance in answer to the dog's yells of disgust and defeat below. Max has been known to dash quickly into the woods and drag any handy human being to the where some particularly exasperating squirrel was safely enclosed and demand excitedly that his friend get the villain down and deliver him over for punishment. If you speak colli English you can readily understand Max. "The squirrels are tolerably tame. They will sit within armthrow of you on a branch and eat if you are quiet. Once I saw one clamber up a hemlock with a mushroom that must have weighed a pound, and, slitting on his haunches, deliberately eat it to the last shred, winking defiance when I insisted that it was a toadstool. There was no dead squirrel under that tree next day, so he must have won the bet. "The air is full of wings. The bluejays and crows and wrens and blackbirds and woodpeckers are yet in evidence, though the robins are gone. The crows sweep and caw, the blackbirds shrill and 'chatter and all the tree trunks resound to' the woodpeckers' tapping search for insects. A couple of infinitesimal wrens hopping about through the leaves will make a lot of noise. And all day long this feathered army is closing in on one. "Where the sun is hotter on the yellow grass the crickets still chirp and the green katyldies sing from bending stalks. The crickets creep into the bungalow on the logs for the fireplace and chirp from the corners of the room. "Some morning, when it is particularly golden and still, on your throwing open the doors the world will be filled with a tremendous chatter of birds—not of a few, but apparently of all the birds on earth, all talking at once. Rushing out, you find a dozen trees inky with blackbirds gather have this dinic casion fly the thousands to another set of trees win a sudden wave a sudden they are see them on their grand flig ever does catch them at it ply were and now are no you are concerned. "Every day the leaves and the paths and wink under them. The ground is with resinous pine cones and beech- nuts and acorns. A sharper front than usual pinches the last granulums in your garden and at night, the cold creeps up through the living-room and you edge toward the blazing fireplace. "After the long stretch of quiet, shining, perfect days of Indian sum- mer you notice one evening as you draw the curtains and shut out the last glimpse of the reddened sun- dropping back of the black trees in lake that the wind is rising.

The Negroes will still have to save more Roosevelts. Had Jack been home finger-print evidence would have come in vogue in civilized Chicago. The white folks in Atlanta gave a demonstration of how to kill a "nigger" last Sunday night at the Odd Fellows' convention by shooting a colored man for stealing a grip. "The South, after all, is not a bad place to live," wrote a delegate in a letter, and in the same letter he said, "I will be home Sunday morning." How strange some people do. Louis B. Anderson, Majs. Buckner and Jackson, also Neighbor E. H. Morris, refused to ride on street cars in Atlanta. We wonder why. Where, oh, where is the queue-headed Chinamen? Will he be seen in the circus or on the stage again? No! Oh, no! Look for him on Sheridan road.—Daily papers. Phil Brown seems to be the only man sought at the Auditorium hotel.

Had Jack been home circumstantial evidence would have surely convicted him in ye Christian mecca Chicago. The way to enjoy the new cars on Cottage Grove avenue is to sit in the rear seats. It reminds you of riding on Lake Michigan. Would you like to be reminded? Solving a Base Problem The census of 1910 makes notice of the remarkable facts that the black race in America is bleaching out very fast. Color being only skin deep, as scientists maintain, will soon fade away the so-called race problem. Leave it to the melting pot of the years from whence will emerge the future American. The cost of living can be reduced by not eating. This will of course necessitate tightening one's belt. Experiments have been made that the mere acts of swallowing causes a contraction of the stomach. Since satisfaction can be reached by tightening one's belt and by swallowing one's meals in small doses and often, and thus saturation is produced by the contraction of the stomach let us get contraction every way and so swell our bank accounts. From the city of Atlanta comes the news that 12,000 men and women of the race are attending the 16th Biennial session of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and that is the largest gathering ever seen in a southern city, that the order is perfect and no trouble of any sort has been reported. The Defender rejoices that this body is making such a type impression in a southern city. At every B. M. C. the word goes out that colored men and women are capable of culture and refinement and this impression speaks volumes for the race. Every true Odd Fellow will reflect such an honor for the principles of the order are such that nothing derogatory could be said about the acts of its members. But more than this, the Odd Fellows are making history for the race. It is a progressive organization and stands for the best and noblest things in life. Its influence is being felt throughout the United States; it is helping the widows and orphans, the sick and needy and creating constructive efforts on the part of individuals and lodges. It believes in buying property, carrying on business and above all, the practicing the principles of Friendship, Love and Truth. The Biennial Movable Conclave is a notable gathering and reflects great honor upon the race and we are glad to note that such men of our city as Edward H. Morris, John C. Buckner, Geo. W. Kerser, R. R. Jackson, J. H. Johnson are among the men that are history makers in that body. The order acted wisely in re-electing the young man of our city to report its proceedings. LEWIS INCIDENT. "No need to bear grudge against heaven, or wreck one's spiteful spleen against one's fellow-own when one reflects on his own errors." Appropos of the American bar we trust the last word has not been said, touching the admission of colored lawyers and will not be said until they are accorded decent and human treatment by a body of men representing the highest legal opinions of the country. It has been said of President Taft that his influence brought about the admission of Wm. H. Lewis recently at Milwaukee and polites or no politics; the support the administration gave Mr. Lewis will win thousands of votes back to the Republican party this fall which in these days of unrest might have gone off to Roosevelt or Wilson. Certainly we criticize the G. O. P. for both sins of omission and commission touching the brother in black, but whenever a crisis has arisen touching the infringements of manhood rights the G. O. P. has always been with the colored man. We seem to be crossing the stream of our political existence in America these days. Perhaps we had best follow the proverbial injunction of "Honest Abe," "Don't swap horses while crossing a stream." HAD JACK BEEN HOME God Almighty alone saved Jack Johnson from having the stain of the death of his wife branded to him by the daily papers of Chicago. He, and He alone, could see in the future for him and his race. Like wolves the reporters for the city papers tried in every way to have someone say that Jack was in the room at the time of the shooting; yes, had he been in the house anywhere would have been sufficient to brand him as a wife murderer; but fate would not suffer it, so it took Jack to the center of the city where many "alabis" awaited; thus --- when the count of nine came Jack was on his feet and ready to strike the body blow to Mr. Lie. The daily papers stated that the Negroes hated Mrs. Johnson. Reporters for the Defender interviewed over 100 respected citizens and they all branded the statement as a vicious as well as malicious lie. One gentleman said: "The race hated the colored woman who bore children for white southern gentlemen (?) but could not hate a woman who was lawfully married." The north seemed to love the white man who would live with a colored woman out of wedlock and have boosted many a one for high office of state and central government. The emperor of Germany, the king of England, the president of France, during the past week, sent envoys to England to the bier of a Negro, Coleridge S. Taylor, musician and composer who was married to an English "lady." When such great men as these can recognize a man as a man it seems such a pity that this great (?) Christian nation would stoop so low, with press and pulit, as to reduce the Negro race to a point of surdum, but God is with us, who can be against us? They tried for three hundred years to infuse their blood in us, but God would not permit, instead the bread they cast on the water has returned. So did Jack and when he came not any man could say he fouled the gladiator of society. PARAGRAPHS WITH By Waldo L. Batsom Mr. Billings was operated on for appendicitis but after they had penetrated his interior they found that was not his alliment. What was the matter with him? Nothing. Then they operated on him for nothing, eh? No, indeed; they got a lot of money out of him. John Duckings gets help from the city now. You don't say; is he sick? No, he's in politics. Old Stevenson is starving down there at his house. Can't he find work? Yes; but he can't find the ambition to do it. I wonder why Miss Cells married. To stop work, she says. If we are willing to do anything God will let us do well. Divorce is the evidence of a loving mistake. A woman is the female of confusion. In resolutions we are Gods; in actions, devils. Wherever there is a place to steal there is a human being around. What we want from the world we must give it. Nothing will grow where weeds won't. Some men have bachelors' titles but married men's troubles. God made no man before he made it possible for him to succeed. Human greatness is God's appreciation of an effort. Solace for the Editor.

Dearborn Street The Sporting World Because Walter Ball lacked control and the fact that the great Rube Foster was in good trim after a bad start caused the Chicago Giants' downfall at the hands of the American Giants Sunday. Barber came to Foster's rescue and started four successful double plays besides figuring in the fifth one. Tony Munroe, Pierce and Taylor were there for their share of honors. Payne had a day of rest out in the right garden, as nothing came his way, while McNair of the Chicago Giants pulled off some fielding stunts. Hill was there with his war club slamming out a single, a double and a triple. Foster struck out five, while the best Ball could do was two. Rube gave four free transportations to Ball's one. The Americans secured twelve hits and to show they were clouting the ball the outfielders of their opponents had eleven put outs to their credit. The final score: Am. Giants. 1 1 0 5 0 0 0 0 0 -6 1 2 3 Chi. Giants. 1 1 0 5 0 0 0 0 1 -4 1 2 3 Batteries—Foster and Petway, Ball and Johnson. Umpire—Goeckel. Time—1:32. It was hard luck for Walter Ball, as six hits in one inning caused his downfall. One of the hits was Hill's single, which McNair made his only error on by letting it get by him and going for a three-base hit with the sacks loaded. Luck broke with Foster's bunch. Those five double plays saved him, as Leland's bunch started after him. Jeanette's poor showing in his bout at Philadelphia with Jem Clarke of Jonah, Mo, doesn't fool the wise ones at all. It is hard for the aspirant of Johnson's crown to get on a bout as most of the white fighters are afraid to take the beating that awaits them. Joe probably played for a return match in Gotham and when he gets it why Clarke is in for a good sound trouncing. The colored shortstop on the All Nations ball team brought defeat to the Stolz team at Omaha last Saturday by his great sensational playing and fielding. Let a few of our now great and future greats among the ball tossers take a lesson from Arthur Raymond, better known to the sporting world as "Bugs," from his ways. He could have been equal to the best had not King Alcohol had his goat. As the high school lads gather around the candidates who answered the call for football practice at Lane Tech they at once began to wonder what their team will do without the services of Fred Pollard, who won so many games with his brilliant head work, both in defensive and offensive plays, also his ability to kick field goals, at such an accuracy that it astonished all who seen him in action. It brings one back to the days of Les Pollard and Sam Ransom. Leslie Pollard went to Dartmouth and made things hum for a while until studies kept him from the team. Sam went to Beloit and the little Wisconsin school hasn't had a team since he graduated. The Defender would like to see some more of this calibre who will follow in the footsteps of Dr. Roy Young* and Hale Parker, Jr., of Northwestern, of Dr. Lackaye of Wilberforce, of Assistant United States Attorney General Wm.

One of the chief tragedies of oncoming age is the increasing difficulty in moving about and in grasping new ideas. Limbs and wits both become less nimble and agile. It has now been discovered to what this condition is due. Certain substances separate themselves from the gray matter of the brain and cause a thickening in the cells of that part of the brain lying under the frontal bone, forming a gland-like body, which scientists call "plaques." These "plaques" are. ray-shaped kernels, more or less irregular in form and frequently assuming the shape of crystals. Just what substances cause the growth of "plaques" by segregation from the brain matter, scientists do not know. But they do know that these substances are the substances which make for nimbleness, quickness, ease of thought and movement. The favorite place of the plaque, the front portion of the brain, is also the part of the brain which becomes diseased, in cases of paralysis, so that some biological analogy exists between difficulty of movement and speech and impossibility of movement and speech. The "plaques" are found chiefly in the rind of the brain. Very rarely they attack the spinal column. If present in minute numbers, the person attacked shows only the milder symptoms of old age, slowness of movement, fatigue, inability to understand quickly. If presented in large numbers, gentle dementia, one of the most horrible conditions into which the human body lapse, occurs. They attack the intellectual and the dull-witted people alike in old age, for some of the brightest minds become afflicted with dullness and apparent stupidity, even to senile dementia in some instances. On the other hand, people who have always been dull-witted, even illiterate, are afflicted in a like manner, so it cannot be claimed the affliction is due to an overworked brain. Protect the Snake Accentuating the idea in an editorial In The Sunday Star that birds should be protected as they are the farmers' friends, and their destruction would be followed by the destruction of the human race, comes the suggestion that snakes should also be protected. This from the Record-Herald is instructive: Legislation to protect snakes that are harmless to man and destructive to rats, mice and other creatures obnoxious to farmers is being sought in several states, according to Prof. H. D. Bailley of Muhlenberg college, a Pennsylvania institution. In a recent lecture Prof. Bailey pronounced "the king snakes, the public snakes, the bute, the corn, and dalgo snakes all valuable allies of the farmer," and commended, efforts to increase the number of bull snakes, which, though large, are harmless and abound in some western states. As man's knowledge of nature increases, he finds many creatures useful or harmless to his interests, and he should act accordingly. Many snakes are benefactors of man, according to authorities, and once the instinctive bread of them disappears through knowledge and familiarity there is nothing objectionable in their presence—Kansas City Star. Bryan Won Scriptural Argument After William Jennings Bryan had courted the beautiful Mary Baird for what he considered a sufficient length of time, the commoner, then a struggling young lawyer, concluded to put the vital question to the father of the future Mrs. Bryan. William, after finally downing the lump in his throat, sought refuge in the Scriptures. "Mr. Baird, I have, been reading Proverbs a good deal lately," said Mr. Bryan, "and I find that Solomon says: Whoso findeth a wife, findeth a good thing and obtained favor of the Lord!" Father Baird, being somewhat of a Bible scholar himself, replied: "Yes, I believe Solomon did say that, but Paul suggests that, while he that marrieth doeth well, he that marrieth not doeth better." Bryan, who never has been at a loss for an answer in his spectacular life, quickly replied: "Solomon would be the best authority upon this point, because Pao, was never married, while Solomon had a number of wives." Whereupon Father Baird captu- An Anguished Waiter Backward and forward he paced, his eyes wild and rolling, his face hagged. As the minutes passed his agitation increased. "Will she never come? Will she never come?" he wailed wildly. "Already it is fifteen minutes past the appointed time and yet she is not here." He pressed his hands to his fevered brow and waited. He tried to sit in vain, and still waited. He gazed sadly through the window and went on waiting. At last! Ah! The sounds of little footsteps on the stairs. He turned to the door, eager, excited. Yes, it was she! "You have come, then?" he gasped, dizzy with delight, as he grabbed his hat. Yes, the stenographer had come back, and it was now his turn to go out to lunch. Mr. and Mrs. Nubbubs were not always on good terms. It was rather a sore point with Mrs. N. that her hubby seldom took her out, and it ranked. The other evening, however, Nubbubs arrived home very elated and plessed with himself. "My dear," he remarked, "I'm going to take you to the theater." Mrs. N. rose to the occasion and expressed her pleasure, suitably. the pleasure sunshine. "Yes, I've got $12 tickets, and it's a fine piece. Next Tuesday week's the date." "How splendid!" echoed the lady. "Yes, he chimed, "and you might begin to get ready at once!" AN EARLY BIBLICAL ROMANCE First Popular Story in Literature World is Discovered in Elephantine. Assouan.—What is declared to be the earliest popular romance in the literature of the world has come to light in Elephantine, an ancient island in the Nile, near Assouan. This tale, bearing the title "Accarius," is found in an ancient African manuscript. It was written about 500 B. C. The tale is referred to by the author of the Book of Tobias, and later it appears in a modified form in the Arabian Nights. The manuscript has been restored by a German translator, who gives an entertaining synopsis of its contents: "The wise Achikar is the vizier of the king Sinacherib and his son Asurachiddin. He is extraordinarily rich, but has no son. When he complains of this to the gods he receives the advice to adopt his nephew Nadan in place of a son. He follows the advice and instructs Nadan in all wisdom—the romance gives his precepts in detail—and then commends his foster-son to the king as his own successor. Asurachiddin agrees, but Nadan misuses his position, and when Ruins on Island of Elephantine. Achikar rebukes him for it he slanders the wise old man, denouncing him to the king as a traitor. Achikar is so stunned with horror that he is unable to utter a word in his own defense, whereupon the ruler gives orders to Nabusamach to put him to death. But Nabusamach, who had once been saved from death by Achikar, kills a slave in his place and hides the old man in a secret dungeon. "The Egyptian Pharaoh hears of the vizier's downfall and promptly declares war on the Babylonian unless he shall ransom himself by the performance of a heavy task. The king's councillors are at a loss for words of advice. In this dire need Nabusamach confesses that Achikar still lives and the king may avail himself of his counsel. The old vizier promptly rescues the king, to the great announcement of the Pharaoh. "The conclusion of the tale is as naive as it is amusing in its oriental viewpoint. Nadan is deposed and brought in chains before Aehikar, who has him incarcerated and fed on bread and water. Meanwhile he daily regales him with intellectual sustenance in the shape of stories and fables which are packed with both worldly wisdom and spiritual edification. This is especially interesting because it recalls the plan of the ancient Sanskrit collection of instructive tales known as the Hitopadaea. "The wretched Nadan takes the treatment very ill. Overcome with anger and chagrin—and possibly ennui—he "swells up and bursts!"" "This history was widely known in the Orient and was pliously commented on by the writer of the Book of Tobias as follows: "Behold, my son, how Nadab (Nadan) dealt with Achilar, that he brought him alive into a dungeon under the earth. But God recompensed him for his sorrow. He came again unto the light and Nadab went hence into eternal darkness." RESIGNS AS STAGE DRIVER Miss of Stockbridge, Mass., Makes Remarkable Record in 28 Years' Service. Stockbridge, Mass.-Miss Florence S. Markham, who drives the stage and carries the United States mail between the village of Interlaken and Stockbridge for the government, has made a remarkable record in her occupation, which she has followed since 1889. In that time she has traveled nearly 100,000 miles. In the winter Miss Markham has been forced to shovel her way through snowdrifts, and in the spring she has repaired damage done to roads by heavy rains, in order to make her trip. MONKEY HELD UP THIS TOWN Simian Put Police to Flight But Is Finally Captured by Small Boy. Lancaster, Pa.—A big monkey, used by side-show fakirs, demoralized the police and had the western part of the city in an uproar, when it escaped from its owner, John Gormley. It made a raid on a grocery store and clawed a young college student who tried to capture it. The police were summoned, but the monkey charged them and they fled. Then it got into a back yard, where it tore a car to pieces. Finally a small boy coaxed it into a chicken pen, where it was captured. Shock Sours His Appetite. Sunbur. Pa—Charles Scheetz, lineman in the employ of the Northumberland County Gas & Electric company, was trimming a tree when he fell across a service wire through which was coursing 2,300 volts of electricity.

As he regained his senses, a half hour after the accident, his first question to a nurse was: "How soon am I going to get some dinner? I'm THE CHICAGO DEFENDER ANCE WHEN MN. PHILBIN WENT ON THE STAGE By FLORENCE NEYHART. BY FLORENCE NEYHART "Speaking of trials," said Mrs. Philbin in a conversational tone, "Albert has gone on the stage! "Not really?" the other women shrieked after they had caught their breaths. "No," said Mrs. Philbin, "not really—just on the amateur stage. But it's worse than real acting. I don't know anything better calculated to make a staid, grown-up man kick his heels, buy new neckties and generally conduct himself in a kittish way than a request that he lend his presence to an amateur production, it bolsters him up in his secret conviction that he is a perfect mine of undiscovered genius. "Oh, no!' he said at first. 'You don't want me! I never acted in anything in my life and I can't do it! I ruin the piece! Get some one else! I'd ruin the piece! Get some one else! Afterward he told me that he hated to disoblige him but he really couldn't do it. I congratulated him on his good sense, whereupon he looked at me as though he had caught me trying to polish him. He said he regretted to see how little confidence I had in his ability and was pained at my exhibition of jealousy. "Then he raced to the 'phone and told the committee that just to oblige them and help them out of a hole he'd take the part. "After that Albert was lost to the family. He passed three whole evenings running his hands through his hair and memorizing his part. If I spoke to him he would stare at me wildly as though he belonged to another sphere and resented my advent into it. "After he went to the first rehearsal life became very hard at home because Albert took to going over what he called the 'business' of his part. It is disconcerting to have a man, even if he is your husband, rush at you from behind portieres and wander about with the furniture in his hands muttering to himself! "Mrs. Lemmock called one evening and walked in just as Albert tore through from the dining room into the parlor shaking his fist and yelling, 'I have you now, you moral leer, and your life—your life is not worth an hour's purchase! You can't blame Mrs. Lemmock—taking it personally, especially as Albert's fist was flourished within an inch of her nose. "During this time if I remarked to Albert that the cook was going to leave he would stare at me and say, 'So-at last, Montorency, I have unmasked you!' It was impossible to carry on any conversation with Albert for weeks. He was always bursting out with bits of his part. Finally he insisted on my learning the part that dovetailled with his so that he could practice at home. "Now, I love my husband and always try to please him, but I consider this my crowning act of self-sacrifice. Of course Albert was working for public applause, but if any one wants to know what is my idea of zero in pleasant pastimes I should mention rehearsing a part that you aren't going to play. Anyhow, it's upsetting to have your own husband lean over you tenderly, gaze into your eyes and make desperate love to you in dime novel style! It makes you feel so queer! "By the third rehearsal Albert had begun to talk about his art and to speak of well known stage people by their first names. He mentioned the public as though he had it cating out of his hand and he adopted the stage walk. When he stalked downstairs he thudded like a camel and when he stalked upstairs I always thought of elephants. He knocked all the bric-a-brac to pieces parading through the rooms and when he talked he either boomed or hissed. He demanded potatoes in a voice of tragedy and took to standing before mirrors in profile, frowning over his shape. He said the mirrors were old and worn out and gave him a curve, out instead of a curve in. "He got terribly fretted and when I objected he told me that I should make allowances for the artistic temperament and that the stage manager had told him if he had gone on the stage when he was a youth he undoubtedly would have rivaled Mansfield. Albert gloomed and tyrannized and had me jumping six ways at once hunting up his costume and buying grease paint and eyebrow pencils and false hair and letting him repeat his part to me and assuring him that he was entrancing in it. "When I was worn to shreds the play was given and I had my revenge. I went around into the wings to see if Albert needed any help and fell over a shivering, crouching, chattering individual trying to hide between a canvas tree and a rustic gate. To my amazement it was Albert. "He grabbed me with two ice cold hands and clung to me for dear life. He said he'd die if he had to get out there before all those people. Oh, he moaned, wouldn't I save him?" "I looked him in the eye and said, 'Albert, this is just another phase of the artistic temperament and I won't flicker an eyelash to help you! And if you fail in your part I—I'll leave home!" "Albert was ill two days after the play from the nervous strain and when he got up and around he was quite sane again. And I may add, he's a great deal more humble than he used to be!" Depend Wholly on Coffee. Coffee is the great staple produced by the civilized inhabitants of Liberia, and most of the planters are totally dependent on it. When the market price of coffee is so low that the yield will not pay the cost of labor and marketing and leave a margin sufficient for the needs of the planter, the plantations are neglected and, as there is no other crop to fall back on, a period of economic depression ensues. Whole Difference Is Here "The difference between cleverness and ignorance is that the clever ones get what they want and don't waste time wanting what they can't get; and the fools cry for the moon."—"The Forest on the Hill," by Eden Philpotts. Health & Beauty Hints By Katherine Morton The most telling charm a girl can have is a sweet voice, and yet how often, alas, is the quality of the voice utterly ignored by young people. One hears the terrible twang indigenous to this country issuing from kissable coral lips, hears maids in the finest ralment speaking with the hoarseness of ravens or with voices as badly managed as those of monkeys. Yet there are elocutionists for training the voice to honeyed notes, and the owner of the dulcte voice is a power in every circle of society. For although the voice is the easiest of all the points of woman's beauty to train into ways of loveliness it generally happens that the low, exquisitely-timbered and beautifully used voice goes with the superior nature. The dear speak discordantly because they cannot hear the manner in which they are pitching their voices. So hearing is needed for voice training, and it is possible to cultivate its sensitivity with very simple home methods. Listen, to all the beautifully-pitched voices that come your way and then go into your room and practice with the contrast of your own naturally speaking voice. You will see your mistakes in short order and by keeping the error in mind, as important to your charm, you will soon find yourself imitating the lovely voice, first copying the manner in which single words are uttered and then essaying some whole phrase caught up from the voice inloudions. Little by little you will get the right inflections, and then somehow you will grasp at last the spiritual side of human speech. The feeling of words will appear and you will utter them in the right manner, telling your fairy tale with the right touch of gaiety and your tale of sorrow with due solemnity. According to voice specialists, the commonest defect in young people is the pitching of the voice too high, and this is accompanied by a nervous tension which holds the throat taut and strained. The breath is short and hurried, which cuts the overtones and destroys the vibrations. So the high pitch must first be overcome, and since reserve breath and a wholesome state of the throat and nose are needed these organs and the lungs must receive their due share of attention. The simplest breathing exercises, taken quite twice a day in a full and rhythmic manner, will undoubtedly improve a defective voice through the help the exercise lends to the vocal cords. Deep breathing, too, is often advised for bashfulness and stammering, those two great banes of timid youth, which if not overcome in time will sometimes last until life's end. For the girl whose general health is none of the best, and whose voice soon wears out with class recitations, a diet of molasses and course bread is to be recommended. Sweet milk and buttermilk will also be of much benefit, while a raw egg, heaten up with a little lemon juice, and taken before breakfast is almost certain to ward off hoarseness during the day. Raw eggs are very healing and feeding to the throat and lungs, and should be given far oftener to under nourished young people, whose very delicacy makes them ready victims to lung and throat diseases. Anything which interferes with the general health will affect the beauty and strength of the voice, and since the membrane of throat and nose is so delicate it must always be given immediate care in time of trouble—or, better still, be kept in a healthy state with the frequent use of antiseptic washes. But a lot of the ugleness in youthful voices comes from bad habits alone. The young people are not corrected for their vocal errors in time, they are allowed to sing at too early an age, they sleep and sit in rooms too hot and dry, they have the example of other, badly-trained children, or get the habit from their one-deaf elders. But it is never too late for the girl who has been neglected in this way to improve herself if she will only realize that a sweet, well-modulated voice is one of woman's greatest fascinations and that all her success in its attainment lies in herself. New Ruffles Many new ruffles have appeared this spring. Foremost as a novelty is a soft taffeta in shot colors, edged all around with a broad frayed-out ruche of the silk, and another has a taffeta center and a soft maraboot edging. The neck ruche—or ruffle—now goes quite closely round, and is charming in nostrich feathers, just slightly curled, and the most amenable colors are black and white, ivory or gray the latter mixed with white or in some pale self tone. A neck ruffle with ostrich feathers with triple ends, finished with tassels, is effective when thrown over the shoulder, and the broad scars of maraboot mounted on soft satin are not only becoming but of real utility.

HAPPENINGS IN THE CITIES DONNER UND BLITZEN NEW YORK.—Here is a tale of treasure trove. Not the treasure trove of pirates bold, but a yarn of the sea, just the same. The good ship Cincinnati set sail at one o'clock the other afternoon from her pier at Hoboken. On the second class deck at the rail stood a comely German woman. She was Mrs. Anna Luepp of Wilkesbarre, Pa. On the dock stood Rudolph, her husband. Fifteen years ago they came to this country, and by their thrift and industry amassed a snug income, and now the wife was returning for a visit to the home of her girlhood. Their happy union had not been blessed with any branches of the family tree. Longing for prattling babes at the hearth, they compromised on the adoption of a green parrot. They called the big bird Hans, and that he is a bird, all right, all right, you shall see. Mrs. Anna couldn't think of parting with Hans, so it was decided that she would take Hans across the sea and stood at the rail, a wet handkerchief her right hand, she swung Hans over the rail in a newly dared care. Pop Bottle Answers to "Oh. You Beautiful Doll" DETROIT, MICH.—To inculcate music into unresponsive goals of some of the folks of Cork town is a thankless, if not hopeless task, as Larry Fuchs, who plays the bass fiddle in the German band experienced the other night. There he was, and his four fellow artists poured forth their sweetest strains at Sixth and Abbott streets. With dreamy eyes Fuchs had just finished the intricate movements of Mascagni's immortal Intermezzo and had with ecstatic men gone into the depths of Beethoven's divine Moonlight Sonata, when shouts of derlison unnerved his aesthetic ear. Even that brilliant little musical gem, "Oh, You Beautiful Doll," which is said to have moved Mozart to tears even in his grave, struck an unresponsive chord in that unmusical crowd. And when the little fellow with the second fiddle passed the hat, he collected feers instead of shekels. Truly, the lot of a wandering minstrel is a thankless one in this twentieth century. The orchestra moved away, seeking more congenial audiences. It had already ended a pop bottle, but struck Lloyd's 'Fuchs' bass violin in its vital part, smashing it in the region of the bridge. THAT ROUGH-NECK COTTON-HEAD KOHU, TRIED TER KICK ME SLATS IN AN' STUCK HIS KNOB IN ME LAMP HICAGO.—Hamilton park, one of the prettiest public playgrounds on the extreme south side, claims among its other attractions a model policeman. His name is John Yonker, and a boy drives of that section of the city swear by him. A policeman who is popular among children has a pretty good certificate of efficiency. Although nominally a patrolman, Yonker really has half a dozen other jobs. He is arbiter in chief of all the youngsters' disputes of the neighborhood, director general of their sports and umpire and court of last resort to their games. But the job which requires the most tact, and diplomacy and which has won him his chief fame is that of official neighborhood chaperon. Rules of the park require that no children remain there after 9 o'clock in the evening. It is Yonker's duty to be, and when proves too much settles it by the Incidentally, Yo information. He questions a day, without becoming no one knows, perennial. Howeves when Yonker known that he is Many a "tough" weight of Yonker not only to respe to like its owner. C LEVELAND, O.-A Maltese cat, with a mangy, rat-bitten tail and a hankering for the beautiful in art and architecture, entered and upset the tranquility of the county's $5,000,000 courthouse the other day. The cat made a hasty but complete tour of the building, led Custodian Clay's guides and subguides a merry chase through marble corridors and closed the performance with a "leap of death" act from the marble railing which overlooks the forum in the center of the building. The guides dared not follow. How the cat entered the building is a mystery. Guides on the lower floor and at the entrances denied that it passed under Chief Watchman O'Cormack it reverting against a bunch of grapes which formed part of the $90,000 decorations on the upper floors of the building. He approached with caution and a volume of Ohio state reports. The latter he held behind his back. The cat scented trouble and vanished. How to Remove Iodine Stain. Mix cold starch with water and put your material or garment in it to soak. Let it remain in this mixture until the stain has entirely disappeared.—Ladies' Home Journal. "Goodbye, papa," she cried, and waved to Herr Leppu. "Goodbye, papa," repeated Hans, who talks English with a slight German accent. As they were about to cast off the stern line, Frau Anna got mixed in her gesticulations. Her right hand was raised to her eyes to dash the tears away. She forgot that she held the parrot, and disengaged her left hand from the cage to help her right hand out. With fluttering feathers and indignant screams Hans went tumbling to the dock in his gilded cage. "Donner and blitzen!" yelled the enraged bird. Two longshoremen put a pole through the ring in the top of the cage and hoisted it to a porthole. Just as somebody was about to drag the cage through the porthole the cage slipped and down came the bird to the longshoremen. "You tum foolo," roared Hans. "Donner and blitzen!" A rope was thrown from the ship, a knot was passed through the ring of the cage and the latter went crashing against the ship's side as the stern line was cast off. "Donner und blitzen!" yelled the bird again as the cage was dented in against the ship's side. "Pretty Hans," cooed Frau Lupp, stretching forth her hands. "Betty h——" returned the plous bird. "Donner und blitzen! Goodby, papa! Goodby papa!" "Goodby, Hans," shouted Rudolph. "Goodby, Mamma." There was an uproar in a minute. Orpheus soothed and tamed the wild beasts with his lyre, but to calm this crowd with even a hand organ was quite impossible. And so the street artists beat a hasty retreat. Later on, by a little detective work, Fuchs learned that Charles Mery, 178 Abobtt street, had smashed his instrument, and the next morning he appeared in the police court to get a warrant for malicious injury to property. In the meantime Mery's friends got busy and fell upon one E. P. Corbett, politician, who draws double pay from the city, being a water board employee and a member of the present jury panel of the recorder's court, to bring harmony into this note of musical discord. He offered to pay for the repairs of Fuchs' instrument and all other reasonable expenses. Justice Stein advised the street artist to accept the offered settlement. Neighborhood Chaperon see that this is enforced. The business of getting children to go home to bed is a delicate one, but Yonker succeeds at it without exciting empathy. Little girls are prone to linger in the park after hours just as much as boys. If the night is dark or rainy and the little girl lives a long way off in a lonely neighborhood, Yonker takes her home. This often keeps him working over hours, but the "model policeman" seems to do if cheerfully as part of the day's work. There are six baseball diamonds at Hamilton park. On a Saturday afternoon teams of boys are playing all day on these diamonds. Yonkers presides over these activities. He knows the baseball rules as well as Johnny Evers, and when dispute arises that proves too much for the boys Yonkers settles it by the book. Incidentally, Yonker is a bureau of information. He answers a thousand questions a day. How he stands it without becoming a confirmed grouch no one knows. His good humor is perennial. However, there are occasions when Yonker has to make it known that he is "a limb of the law." Many a "tough" boy has felt the weight of Yonker's hand and learned not only to respect it but afterward to like its owner. O'Connor spread the alarm. Guides responded from all sections of the building. The chase was on. It took in offices and courtrooms, interrupted trials, scattered jurors and frightened court witnesses. Then pusy, after touring the two upper floors, decided to parade around the marble railroad which overlooks the forum. It was high and dangerous. The guilder called foul, but the cat pald no heed. O'Connor volunteered to crawl out and capture it. He traveled with more caution than speed. The cat traveled ten feet ahead of him 'for a while, then leaped to the floor below and disappeared.

Bryson, superintendent. A great feast in Zion was on last Friday night when Rev. T. L. Scott of St. Paul C. M. E. church of Chicago preached. No doubt there has been many a year since such a sermon has been delivered unto an Evanston audience. While this phenomenal pulpit orator so picturesquely talked of the life of the "Christian soldier" scarcely a dry eye could be found and scores of white persons flocked in and enjoyed the spirit of the Lord. Sunday at 3 another masterly sermon was preached by Rev. W. H. Parker of Mt. Carmel C. M. E. church of Englewood. He spoke from isahal 55:7: "Oh, how our hearts burned while he talked with us by the way." At the usual Sunday school hour an interesting bunch of scholars was present and took advantage of the lesson. Rev. Braxton of Dyersburg, Tenn., preached at the evening service. One was connected with church, Mrs. Belle Joplin. THE WEEK IN TOLEDO By Turner Tandy. By Turner Tandy and John H. Gattill, Totledo, Ohio, Sept. 18—All the churches and lodges and citizens are invited to leave notes for this paper with the agent, Turner T. Tandy, at shoe shining, stand in Mr. A. M. Clemens's barber or shop with Mr. John H. Gattill at Vaughn and Jackson's ice cream parlor. Notes left Sunday or Monday will be published the same week. The agent has been asked on several occasions why he published more news from Warren A. M. E. than other churches. I wish to state that while I am a Baptist I don't favor any one church in regards to publishing news. I have before invited all the other churches to send notes each week and the reason Warren A. M. E. church has had more news than the other churches is because a representative of the church has seen to it that the agent received notes each week. The Third Baptist, Friendship Baptist and 'All Saints churches are invited through this paper to select someone to send in their notes each week. Mrs. M. C. Webb of Detroit was a visitor in this city last Sunday, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Vick. Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

UNREST IN ENGLAND Duke of Mariborough Blames Dearth of Cottages for Evil. Absence of Homes. for Humblest Classes of Rural Workers is De-populating the Country—"Week Enders" is Chief Cause. London.—When the duke of Mariborough, in his recent articles in the Daily Mail on "Industrial Unrest, in England," traced the source of the trouble back to the dearth of cottages for country laborers, it seemed rather fanful, but since his articles were printed, no small amount of evidence has appeared to back up his theory. One of the most interesting contributions to the discussion comes from "A Country Parson," who says that the dearth of homes for the humblest classes or rural workers is a crying evil. According to him, it is depopulating the country. Marriages among the young people are at a discount, he says. Twenty years ago, in his parish, the registers show there was a yearly average of six marriages of agricultural laborers. During the last eight years this average has been reduced to one. Assuredly this statement backs up the duke of Marlborough. The young men in the country have no inducements to marry there and no homes to settle down in. They flock to the cities, they crowd out the city born of weaker physique, they lower the standard of wages by glutting the labor market. Then come poverty, strike, paralysis of business, general all-round disaster. But why should there be a dearth of rural cottages. Why does not the law of supply and demand operate to end it in short order? One reason seems to be that all sorts of outsiders are competing with the agricultural laborer in the way of a cottage that may exist or be built in rural regions. Behind this is the fundamental cause, the fact that the agricultural laborer is so badly paid or paid in such an unpractical way that he is not able to pay anything like a decent rent for a home—anything like the rent which will return even the smallest interest on the builder's investment. Illustrating the competition with the laborer for the rural cottage, the case of the week end is cited. The Typical English Cottage. week end of moderate means wants a very cheap place where he can run down in fine weather and spend a day or two at what is to him merely nominal expense. He finds a laborer's cottage picturesquely situated; he goes to the landlord and offers a grotesquely low rent for it, say five shillings or $1.25 a week, on condition that it be restored or fixed up—put in good order. The landlord cheerfully accepts the offer and puts the cottage in first-rate condition, for the rent of the city man offers, absurd though it may seem to a New Yorker, is anywhere from three to five times as much as the agricultural laborer can afford to pay. MAY CALL OFFICER A "GINK" And, Philadelphia Judge Holds, It Doesn't Justify Arrest of Former Pugilist. Philadelphia — Magistrate Coward, sitting in city hall, today decided it is no crime to call a policeman a "gink." no matter what construction is placed upon the word. The Magistrate listened to the evidence of Policeman Pilll of the vice squad, who had arrested Jack Hannon, the former pugilist, whom he accused of calling him a gink when Pilll was on duty in the Tenderloin. The judge heard the case he said: "Well, it is not wrong. I'm called worse things than that a dozen times a day. I don't care how you take it. If that is all that the man said you had no right to arrest him." In the cross-examination of Pill Hanlon's lawyer asked Pill if he knew what the word meant. When the policeman said he did not know the attorney said: "Well, if you don't know now, you will soon enough, for you have been accused of being a 'gink' before, and you had better be careful or they may make more than accusations the next time." The Magistrate suspended further hostilities by discharging the prisoner. Givea Skip to Son: New York—David P.

IFUL ENWOOD TERY HAY'S HAND POWDER Washing Glove HAY'S HAND POWDER --- The Value of Fresh Air In Sleeping Quarters—Keep After the Flies—Health Notes. Press Service, Department of Health. It is a crying evil of most city dwellings, especially tenements, that the bedrooms are located in the darkest and poorest ventilated parts of the house. As a rule, too, the bedrooms are by far too small to make them ideal sleeping quarters. This is true of both the cheaper and the higher priced buildings; small, dark and poorly ventilated bedrooms being about as common in the latter as in the former class of tenements. When it is remembered that the biggest bedroom ever made is not big enough for even one person to sleep in without having the windows open, it is easy to see that small sleeping rooms should be well ventilated. We spend about one-third of our time in bed; and surely we should be as well provided for in the matter of air during our sleeping hours as well as we would wish to be during our periods of work and play. The Health Department that is looked upon merely as a police force is not doing very effective work for the people it is supposed to serve. For while health officers must enforce the laws and through the courts seek to punish those who violate them, the real work of the health official lies in educating the people to cheerfully and gladly do the things that mean most for the maintenance of community health and comfort. The fall days are here though the weather has been decidedly summery in character. But very soon the chill nights and mornings will be with us and so will the deadly and dangerous house fly. As a matter of fact, the cool autumn days bring the files swarming about your doors seeking to get into the warmth and comfort of your kitchen and dining room. Remember, too, that files are just as nasty and dangerous now as they were in June or July, and keep after them with a vengeance. Don't let up on them by any means until the killing frosts and winter blasts have put them out of business.

But "Telling" Agnes Proved Most Delightful. BY DOROTHY DOUGLAS. "Tell Agnes!" It seemed to John Emery that, the only words he had heard, during the last fortnight were those two—"Tell Agnes." He had come to believe that his trip to America was planned merely that he might convey endless messages from one sister to the other. On the contrary, he was going to New York solely on business, and it was more or less of a bore to have to look up all the sisters and uncles and aunts who had gone to America. It was gross exaggeration on Emery's part to imagine that he had to look up all the relatives who had left the home land. Because he had heard the words "Tell Agnes" so many times he had come to look upon Agnes as a tyranny. But because Agnes was the sister of the girl whom Emery intended to propose to upon his return from America she had to be endured. She had left the home land some months before John Emery had found his way into the friendship of the Doan family. "There is only one more message I have for Agnes," Mary Doan told him the night before his departure, "and I am telling you because you will see her before my letter reaches her." Mary blushed shyly, and John Emery felt a strange drop in the temperature. "Tell Agnes that—I am going to marry Billy Wade in September and that I want her to be my bridesmaid." John Emery never could remember just how he got out of the house and away from Mary Doan's happy blushing face. "Tell Agnes—nothing!" muttered Emery, as he stepped off the boat on the New York side of the Atlantic. "I will not even look her up now." "Oh—are you Mr. John Emery?" asked a feminine voice at his side. Emery looked up from the steamer trunk he had been opening for the customs man. "Oh, I say!" the Englishman caught his breath. After acknowledging his I "Certainly," Mary Smiled at Him, right to the name Emery, he raised a belated hand to his tweed cap. "I am Agnes Doan," the girl continued, and Emery knew then why he had found her so beautiful. "She is so like Mary," he said half under his breath, while he took the hand Agnes extended. "Mary cabled me to meet you," Agnes was saying, "so that you would not get lost." She laughed and Emery looked up at the sound. "Just fancy your knowing me," he said with the tinkle of her laugh ringing in his ears. "Sister sent me a coaching picture taken down at Hiramcombe, and it is so good a likeness that I had no difficulty. Mary tries to keep me from being homestick by telling me about the jolly times—" Her voice trailed off and Emery felt his first emotion for Mary's sister. "We will go and have a cup of tea," he said quickly, "if you will be good enough to show me about. I have many things to 'tell Agnes,' he told her, using the familiar words. "I'm sorry," he apologized, noting her blush, "I was quoting your sister." "I would forgive you anything since you have invited me to have a cup of tea." Fenney, she said in a voice that was not quite steady, "I have not been asked to have a cup of tea since I left home." "By Jove, that is rough! Isn't it proper for a chap to take a girl to tea here?" asked Emery. "Ah, perfectly, laughed Agnes, 'but it is not tea in New York.'" "I see. Then if you've nothing else to do we will have a cup of tea every afternoon that I am here." Emery hardly realized that he awaited an answer to the words. He found Agnes blushing and for the third time during their short acquaintance his heart tripped a beat. "That will depend," said Agnes, "upon how long you will be staying here." It suddenly occurred to Emery that it was not going to be a bore to convey messages to Agnes. In fact he felt that telling Agnes was going to prove a most delightful change from business. When they were seated at a small table in one of the little tea rooms which he learned later was one of many in New York, Emery leaned back in contentment. Agnes' fingers Never, never wait for post-nortem praise. Speak the kind words which love prompts, and remember that words of loving kindness are the best possible tone which can be given, even to the happiest of the mortals.—Kate Tannatt Woods. Oldest Inhabited House. Kilkenny castle is one of the oldest inhabited houses in the world, many of the rooms being much as they were 800 years ago. lingered over the tenpot and seemed to caress it. Emery found himself slightly jealous of the cups and saucers, then realized that he was foolish, considering the fact that he was in love with the sister of Agnes. "Is my sister Mary as beautiful as ever?" he heard her asking. "As beautiful as a wild rose." Emery found that he could speak without bitterness of Mary's beauty. "She told me to tell you that-" he floundered for a second, "that she has made Billy Wade a happy fellow. They are to be married in September, and Mary wants you to be her bridesmaid." Emery breathed more freely now that the hardest of the messages had been given. "Oh, I am glad!" cried Agnes, then stopped short. Distress was evident in her big, expressive eyes. "It does not in the least matter." Emery comforted her; "it is no doubt best that Mary did not love me." He looked at Agnes in so direct a manner that the color mounted her cheeks for the third time. "Also," went on Emery, conscious that his eyes had betrayed his innermost thoughts and "desiring to put her at ease," Mary wanted you to know that there are six pink roses peeping into your casement window, and that she has had your room dressed in pink rose chintz. Lady Maud has a family of seven kittens, and Mike has disgraced himself by going after the Stiffwell chickens. The little robin still comes to the window for crumbs and the thrush sings in the apple tree at twilight." Emery drew his breath sharply when he realized that Agnes had brushed her hand swiftly across her eyes. "Don't!" Agnes put in without turning her eyes toward him. "You make me want to go home. I suppose Mary is still using the old brown teapot" she went on in emotional voice. It was Emery's eyes now that sought space. "Yes," he said, for the moment unconscious of Agnes. "Mary is pouring tea from the brown teapot. But I suppose it is Billy Wade who is watching her." His glance traveled about until it rested on the slim fingers that had unconsciously fallen on his teacup. He looked at them for a long moment, and while he looked a great change swept over his vision. "You have not told me whether or not you will take tea with me every day," he told Agnes suddenly. "Perhaps you would get tired looking at the same hands," she laughingly returned. "No," he said, "I will not. Will you come?" "Certainly." Agnes smiled across the table at him. "I will be delighted." When some six weeks later John Emery wrote a letter to Mary Doan and received an answer from her, there were two familiar words in it "Tell Agnes," Mary wrote, "that, I think you are, well worth laxing. I wanted her to be my bridesmaid, but a matron of honor is perhaps more dignified." (Copyright, 1912, by Associated Literary Press.) WEARING SNAKE SKIN GOWNS Pythons and Anacondaas Being Slaughtered to Provide Dresses for Women. For once fashion has taken a direction which promises to be of general benefit to humanity. Womankind, or at least such as have access to the longest purses, are shortly to use snake skin for garments for quite everyday wear. One can scarcely imagine a more poetic revenge by the daughters of Eve on their old enemy, the serpent temper. Whether the new robes will prove as artistic as is expected remains to be seen. They will certainly lend themselves in skilful hands to the emphasizing of whatever graces there may be in the person of the wearer, anw if the fashion thins out the number of these dangerous reptiles all over the world, humanity will owe a debt of gratitude to the inventor of the new modes. We may yet come to see python skin sold by the yard over the dry goods counters, for the python is a big beast, occasionally reaching, when full grown, 30 feet in length and a foot or more in diameter. Thus, apparently, a single skin might supply enough stuff to make an ordinary gown on modern lines. What the cost will be one cannot yet say. It will obviously be high, for serpents of the largest size are not to be met with every day. The market price of skins, in view of the coming demand, has already gone up to a very high figure, and in Borneo, Sumatra and all over the Malay archipelago native hunters are scouring the wilderness, tempted by the offers of dealers in Paris and Vienna, and killing and capturing every big snake they meet with. Properly prepared, snake skin is both soft and durable. The anaconda is already "bespoke" for the latest thing in motor coats, and thus used makes an attractive novelty. Made up in delicate shades of cream color and brown, and lined with satin to match, the material forms most attractive garments, which are especially desirable by reason of their lightness. They weigh almost nothing at all and, it is reported, "never wear out." Four fair sized skins make a touring coat, but there is some trouble in matching them perfectly.

THE CHICAGO DEPENDER Myiarchus Crinitus Is Champion Bug Catcher IF WE SEEKS ITS ALL OFF WASHINGTON—The department of agriculture, in a long biological treatise, whatever that is, claims credit for discovering the one omnivorous fly swatter of the country. Of course the department doesn't call it that. It is known by a long scientific nomenclature, printed in italic. Translated, this devotes itself into "U-catcher," or words to that effect. The "catcher," according to the department's experts, is widely different from the generally accepted "swater." It is a long, thin-shanked bird about the size of a robin, and wears a tuft of black feathers in the general vicinity of its wlashbone. The best thing this bird, the "great crested fly catcher," they call it, does, is sit on a fence rail and survey the landscape. This it does dolefully and without enthusiasm. By and by a fly or some other insect comes flying along. A short spurt, a click of a pointed beak, and it is exit insect. The pamphlet issued by "Tama Jim" Wilson's department contains a study of the life and habits of the great American fly-catcher. Departmental experts, on adventure bent, went forth into the rural sections armed with butterfly nets and six-shooters and captured a large number of these desperate birds, thereby causing a large increase in the fly population. Brining the birds to Ban on Kissing One's Wife at Park Resort "F YOU kiss your wife in Glen Echo park on Sunday you will lift pounds of tobacco. "If it gives men's man's wife it will cost you your life." This was the disconsolate wall of Manager Schloss of the park the other day. "What is the trouble, Mr. Schloss?" he was asked. "Guess," said the manager. "Blue laws?" "Righto," said Mr. Schloss, as cheerfully as a crutch. Schloss is aggrieved that Montgomery county is now playing in the Blue Law league, and he says it hurts the batting average of the park. "Why, just think; there was a time not so far distant, when the turnattles at the amusement places clicked until they resembled the exust of a motor boat. "But them was the halcyon days," he muttered. "It used to be that the band crashed out the airs that made the crowd forget that they had 'nothing to do till tomorrow.' Now the band plays only one air that keeps the crowd." "What is it, Mr. Schloss?" This little conversation with the manager took place just after Sheriff Howard of Montgomery county gave an imitation of making an arrest. When the sheriff had finished his little act he had four violators. They --- Turn a Bright Searchlight on Capital Spooners "NO more spooning on the upper decks in the dark corners," is the edict that has gone out from the offices of the St. John and the Charles MacAlaster, two pleasure boats that ply the Potomac river between Washington and Marshall Hall. "Stop promiseous hugging, kissing and flirting on the approaches to the capitol," is an order issued to capitol policemen. The new rules on the St. John and the Charles MacAlaster prohibit kissing of all kids—the ordinary catch as catch can, as well as the soul kiss, which becomes an endurance contest. The rules also prohibit: "Embracing, means a slight squeeze of the grapple of the to-have-and-to-hold kick." Government Is Willing to Pay Money for Bugs THERE has been found a man who not only wants bedbugs, but is willing to pay five cents each for them if delivered alive. This unique demand comes from G. M. Zimmer, superintendent of the United States agricultural experiment station at Vienna, Va. He has hung out a sign advertising the fact that bedbugs are worth just a nickel a piece at his establishment, and promises to buy all that are offered up to the value of $5. Strange to say, Mr Zimmer 'as been unable heretofo to buy all the bedbugs he desires for his purpose, which is to set them to work exterminating another insect which is destroying an orchard on the experimental farm. It is believed that the residents of Virginia are shy about admitting that they are familiar with the habitat of bedbugs by bringing in any captives, even at the price of five cents each First Deaf Mute—"He wasn't so very angry, was he?" Second Deaf Mute—"He was so wild that the words he used almost blistered his fingers." —Pittsburgh Leader. Washington in cold storage, the stomachs of some 3,398 were examined. These stomachs, according to the report, were about five per cent. stomach and 94.99 per cent. obnoxious insects. Or, at least, the 94.99 per cent thing represents the portion of obnoxious insects on their daily bill of fare. Whether they take them a la carte or table d'hote was not dwelt upon in the report. There are seventeen species of these birds. The aggregate benefits of their depopulation of the insect kingdom are enormous. Under these conditions farmers will hardly begrudge them the 5.1 per cent of vegetable food they filch from the cherry and grain crops. But insect killing is only one of the fly-catcher's accomplishments. He is the bravest bird in the air, and fearlessly attacks crows and hawks many times his size. He will assail a hawk in midair and follow him for miles. The great falcon, too cowardly to fight and too slow to dodge, can only put on full speed and leave the country. In this way fly-catchers are a great benefit to the poultry raisers. This great crested fly-catcher, by the way, is a bird of marked individuality. Like other hold creatures, he is something of a grafter, and frequently drives bluishbirds and woodpeckers from their nests that he may use them himself. One of his peculiarities is to always place a shed snakekin in his nest. This trait has greatly puzzled naturalists, for nothing in nature is without a reason. Miss Neltie Blanchan, a woman ornithologist, suggests that the fearful sight of a snakekin, greeting the newly hatched fly-catcher, may be what causes the feathers on its little head to stand erect. were Miss Orrie Smith and Viola Collins, ticket sellers, and Clissel Huaband, who operates a "wicked" merry-go-round, and Leroy Hill, who runs the miniature railroad. Sheriff Howard personally had collected evidence against the resort. His methods would have done credit to Sherlock Holmes. He purchased tickets and took a ride. There may have been dryer places in the world than Glen Echo, but they are not mentioned in the afternoon meetings of the Dorsac society. If any fellow took his girl to the park expecting to cut up and buy lemonade or soda pop, he gets caught stealing second. Rockefeller could not have bought a wet glass. The Sahara desert was a cloudburst compared with the park. There never was a time at Glen Echo when a man person could buy a drink with a headache hung on instead of a green trading stamp, but pop used to run wild in the streets. One child called its father "pop," and nearly caused a riot. "Such phrases as 'Baby Doll,' 'Dearle,' and 'Honey Boy.' "Holding hands, if the grasp is not too tight, and the resting of the arm on the back of the chair occupied by the object of its affection, are permitted." "Break away, there," is the command given by the officers on the St John and the Charles MacAlaster, and at the capitol, when they come upon spooning couples. If the order is not obeyed, a very brilliant searchlight is turned on the guilty persons. For many years dark spots about the approaches to the capitol have been used by courting couples. It was not unusual to see as many as 25 couples hugging at once in the cozy nooks that flank the senate and house wings of the building. The officers will try to check this. There is no objection, they say, to gentle cooling of the turtle dove variety, but when it comes to going into an embrace that lasts, they call a haunt.

It has been found that water bugs have an abnormal appetite for the glue on postage stamps and are rapidly consuming the "stuckup" in many post-offices. The use of poison is not allowed, because of the danger to human beings who are accustomed to moisten their stamps by licking them. Neither do the authorities dare to turn loose in the postoffices any bug enemy of the water bug. Consequently, they are in a quandary and would like to have some one point the way out.

Next to a vacation in the woods there is nothing so invigorating or rejuvenating. The daily bath is a refreshing stimulant. It puts vitality in tired brains and bodies. The Doctor says there is nothing to compare with it as a tonic to help us build up our constitutions. Unquestionably it is the cheapest of all boons to health and comfort that are available to rich and poor alike. Here in Chicago it is simply inexcusable folly to live in a house where the lack of hot water ever deprives anybody of a daily bath.
