We are men and women that have sisters under your care; you let us put away all thought of self; you let us put away all thought of rescue, who is only a child so seventeen years old with no mother, no father, no brother, no sister, no friend, no siblings, miles away. Perhaps she is not able to help herself, much less helping her. Let us as a race come together, shelter and protect this child as a race should. We are men and women with a whole side of the white papers would be full of it. Now I am surprised at our success in leading men and women making such great demonstration over Jack Johnson's leading men and women making such great demonstration over Jack Johnson's than the Jack Johnson affair. The young woman in the Jack Johnson case is of the same age as the friends and her race is standing by her. Miss Mater McCerrin has no mother in her life, but she kept this unfortunate girl from being railroaded down to Mississippi to hide her perpetrated in Cook County Hospital. Let us hope and piny that we will all give her the support of this poor girl and to prosecute that white brute to the full extent of her wrongdoing. dollars roll in and those that can give more let them do so. It is not bread water, waters or seed thrown on stony ground. I for one will give one dollar for this cause. Yours sincerely, St. Charles, IL, uni. of Warden Bailey Press, Reporter from Tampa, Picture A reporter had gone to the hospital to interview Dr. Teter, the physician in charge, and to obtain from him information concerning the girl's life while under his care and to get a picture of her, knowing they had allowed daily newspapers to do so. But upon arriving at the eminent gentleman's office the doctor had just stepped out. A courteous assistant quickly directed the reporter to a chair, informing him the doctor would soon return. He was right and he seemed ready for battle, as, when he learned the nature of the reporter's mission, his countenance was fiery. His voice had been raised to a point of attracting the attention of others, and no doubt frightening some of them, but not the reporter. His innate refinement finally demanded that he calm himself, and he left the newspaper man with Warden Bailey. By this time, of course, Warden Bailey knew as much about the matter as anyone else, but seemed more good-natured than the former gentleman. These are his remarks: "We have the girl under our care and are doing everything possible for her good. I positively refuse to allow anyone to take a picture of her while she is here, and if I have anything to say. You people certainly cannot have her interest at heart by wanting to publish a picture of her which will cause a lot of cheap noisety. This girl has already had enough of that. Now, suppose she were your sister, would you want her picture displayed in the newspaper? I do not take this stand because of race, creed or color, for all men are the same to me and I have many friends belonging to your race. It has been reported she is an unfortunate without a friend in the world except Judge Pinkney, who brought to light the girl's condition, but it was I who stopped such proceedings as may have caused the railroading of the girl to the south. You people of her race do not think of what life will be to her when she goes out to face the world again after seeing the pictures you have published of her. If she is willing, and those who may have charge of her after she leaves here are willing, you may get her picture, but not inside of this institution." The reporter, upon bidding Warden Bailey good-day, was extended by him an invitation to visit Mator at any reasonable time. Friends Tell of Her Mother. "No matter what has been said of Jesse McFerrin, Mator's mother, she was an honest, hard-working woman, but always kept to herself. She came to room at my sister, Nancy Smith's home, some years ago, when our ac- (Continued on Page 7.) --- A Fearless HONEST CHAMPION of the People --- The Mator McFerrin Relief Fund.

Ballard (501 E. 36th St.) ..... 1.00 ```markdown ``` Justice for little Mator McFerrin, the child that was seduced by a white gentleman in the Cook county hospital, is the wish of the people; the culprit, Frank Chaplin, will be brought to trial November 18th. That she is a victim of neglect is proven by the fact that reporters for the Chicago Defender have learned that she has relatives living—two of them in this city. Mator, whose condition was told in the two preceding numbers of the Chicago Defender, was interviewed last Tuesday afternoon and was informed of the numerous churches and clubs who are working in her behalf, taking up collections to aid her now and after she leaves the hospital. Mrs. Nancy Smith, a former friend, and her sister, Mrs. Sarah Reed, were and taken to take by Mator by a reporter, who witnessed the happy reunion of former custodians and their ward. They clung affectionately to each other and chatted together for an hour. The scene was like that of parents and their prodigal child. --- Mator told of her sister, Mrs. Maude Evans, now living in Corinth, Miss, from whom she has received an occasional letter. Her father, whose name is McAdoo, is living in Chicago, but could not be found. During her stay at the hospital her life, according to her statement, has been comfortable and happy as it could be in that kind of place. Loved by Other Patients. Not one inmate but has a kind word to say of her, in fact, she is held as a favorite by them. Her grandmother, Mrs. A. Cox, was seen at her home Tuesday night and told of how the child had been handed from place to place and how she and her daughter-in-law had lost trace of Mator until they saw her picture in the newspapers. It was learned of Mrs. A. Cox that the girl's mother married Mator's father at some point near Corinth, Miss, where Mator was born, later they came to Chicago and she married Mr. McFerrin, from whom she separated to move about from one place to another and finally to die, as she did in the Cook county, hospital. Mrs. McFerrin, A. A. Cox's daughter-in-law, told of how one Mr. Birch of the Juvenile home had came to see them for the purpose of having Mrs. Cox swear to a statement that she knew Mator's exact age, but she refused to do so. Mr. Birch then appealed to Mrs. McFerrin's husband, who too refused, because he knew nothing of the child till she was brought to Harvey by her mother. Mr. Birch, in none too good a humor, beat a hasty retreat. Mrs. Cox claims she has been interested in Mator ever since she has known her, though the girl is merely a step-grandchild. A pathetic letter was handed the reporter by Mrs. McFerrin, which is, as follows: Mator's Letter to Her Grandmother. 7-26-12. My dear gram-mat: I want to hear from you and hope to see you soon. I am quite well at present. I haven't anyone to come and meet you, or someone to come and send someone. I am so loneless. It made me feel good to think I am going to meet you. I have almost two years and I tell you it is hard. I suppose you know that mother did not see her. Some time ago on a Sunday there was a telephone from some place where I would come but he never showed up. I hope this message will be true. How did you know that I would come and see my picture in the Tribune, as we had them taken last week. Well, this is what I say when I see you. With love, I remain. Mr. J. H.

CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1912. CARY B. LEWIS' FINE WORK FOR DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Col. Henry Watterson, the Oracle of the Party, Praleses His Work and Tells Why the Race Voters Should Support His Party. The Democratic party has been victorious. The victory marks a sweeping change of public sentiment. In this election the Negro played no important part in bringing the plurality to its present figure. In this work there were certain measures to be established and methods to be gone over that would bring home to the Negro the true attitude of the Democratic party with respect to him and his. In this work of enlightenment, one man of the west stood out pre-eminently—Cary B. Lewis, formerly of Louisville. Under James A. Ross of Buffalo he was given charge of the publicity department because of the exceptional showing he had made on the Louisville Courier-Journal. His splendid training was reflected in every article which came from his pen during the campaign. So clever was his work that after the special edition of the National Conservator of New York was published, Col. Henry Watterson of the Courier-Journal, the oracle of the Democratic party, took occasion not to mention in an editorial the department of which Mr. Lewis was head, but wrote a column editorial upon the Negro and the effect of the division of his vote. Not only did Mr. Lewis send out matter to various white and colored newspapers but mailed and expressed literature bearing on the division of the Negro vote to every state in the west. It was noticed that Mr. Lewis conducted a campaign not of vituperation or abuse but of facts and conditions bearing up on the issues and in filling the position has lost no friend but gained many. Since his three years residence in this city his activities have been especially directed toward newspaper work. Under his editorial management the Illinois Chronicle gained a wide circulation and became a paper of power and prominence. His real worth was publicly shown when he successfully managed Madam E. Azella Hackley's concert at Orchestra Hall last October. His journalistic ability has been shown by doing the work for the Supreme Lodge of the K. of P. and the B. M. C. of the Odd Fellows. As chairman of the western end of the publicity department of the Democratic party, he was a distinct success and a credit to all. He will most likely be urged by his friends for a political position for the services he rendered the party in Kentucky and Illinois. Already his friends in Washington have requested his presence at the Wilson-Marshall inauguration in March. ABDUL-BAHA COMING TO THE CAPITAL Washington, D. C., Nov. 8 (special). —Abdul Baha, the founder and chief exponent of the Bahai sect of religionists, is to pay this city another visit soon, coming on from Chicago. The local arrangements, as far as the colored adherents are concerned, are in the hands of Mr. L. G. Gregory. No color line is drawn, but Mr. Gregory will see to it that the colored brethren are kept informed of the meetings and ceremonies. Prof. and Mrs. G. W. Cook, of Howard University, Lieut. T. H. R. Clarke and Assistant Registrar C. F. Adams are enthusiastic believers in the cult, along with Mr. Gregory and many others of like prominence, and are of the opinion that the spirit of Bahaism will go far toward solving the race problem in this country, by obliterating it through the spread of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. MME. E. AZALIA HACKLE SINGS.MONDAY.NIGHT Washington, D. C., Nov. 8 (Special). —Mme. E. Azala Hackley, the famous prima donna soprano, will present her classic song recital and demonstration in voice culture Monday evening, Nov. 11, at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church. The affair will be under the management of Mr. R. G. Doggett, who has achieved remarkable success in handling high-class musical stars. Mme. Hackley is popular here, and it goes without the saying that she will be greeted with a magnificent audience of the best people of the nation's capital. Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and others thrust themselves upon it. WOODROW WILSON PRAISES WORK OF BISHOP WALTERS Congratulates the Race for Their Support During the Campaign— Thomas Wallace Swann's Splendid Work. Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the National Negro Democratic league, has received a telegram from President-Elect Woodrow Wilson stating that the Governor is deeply grateful to Bishop Walters for his B. great victory as to any leader in the cause. Bishop Walters is one of Gov. Wilson's close advisers and his will be a large voice in governmental affairs during the next four years. Colored men may have no apprehension with respect to any assaults that Bourbon Democrats may unthinkingly make upon their rights, for Gov. Wilson will constantly turn to Bishop Walters for advice and counsel, and Bishop Walters and Booker Washington are close friends, which means that the race is still united above the stress and storm of politics. J. Wallace Swann, chief of the publicity department of the Democratic party, is greatly pleased with the way in which Negroes all over the country divided their vote, especially in Chicago, where he delivered an address appealing to members of his race to vote for Wilson and Dunne. DISOBEDIENCE CAUSES TROUBLE AT SCHOOL A Former Pupil and His Companion Have an Exciting Time at Wendell Phillips High School. Two boys—William Driver and Julian Black—were visiting on Thursday of last week in Wendell Phillips High School. The former was an ex member of the school and the latter his companion. These boys, in spite of the fact that they knew the penalty if caught visiting without permission, committed this offense. Julian Black was caught when he attempted to escape from the building and was warned by Supt. Perrine, in the presence of many colored and white students, to keep away from the school in the future. One of the white students who was present at the time sent in a report to the Tribune which had no true foundation, but on Friday morning a story appeared in the Tribune headed, "A Race War at Wendell Phillips. This article went on to say that "Leo Stevens" (never heard of) insulted a white girl and that white boys took it up and a riot followed, with the colored boy getting the worst of it. As a Defender reporter was upon the scene we know positively that this report was unfounded. A STUDENT. PYTHIANS LOOK "SCRUMPTIOUS" Four Lodges Drill for Inspection in the True Reformers' Hall—Uniform Rank Spick and Span. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Washington, D. C., Nov. 8.—The four lodges constituting the Columbian Commandery, Knights of Pythias, held an inspection drill and reception last night at the armory of the District National Guard in the True Reformers' hall. Major George A. Galanes was in command of the battalion and Lieut. R. B. Bruce was adjutant. Capt. Richardson was in charge of the company representing Charles Sumner Lodge No. 1; Capt. Davis led Garnett Lodge No. 2; Capt. Murray commanded S. W. Starks Lodge No. 9, and Capt. A. H. Matthews directed Paul Laurence Dunbar Lodge No. 4. The uniforms and accoutrements of the various companies were in "apple pleer order" and they certainly "looked scrumptious," as one spectator facetiously put it. Following the inspection and drill a handsome, collation was served, in which the gallant Knights and their Ladies, and invited guests took part. B. F. MOSELEY A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTOR OF ILL. Eminent Attorney the First of the Race to Be Honored—In Exercising the Highest Prerogative of an Elector, That Is, Voting for the Man I Believe Best Fitted to Serve the People as President, Mr. Moseley Says, I Will Cast My Vote for Theodore Roosevelt. SINCERITY OF THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY Friends Are Jubilant Over Signal Honor—The Chicago Defender Interviews the Progressive Leader, Who Tells in Detail of the Value and Service of the New Party—Like the Defeated Organizer, He Says That His Party is Built Upon a Firm Foundation. Hon. Beauregard F. Moseley has been elected a Presidential elector, Mr. Moseley is the first man of the race to be so honored. As the leader of the Bull Moose party in Illinois he did splendid service for Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, whom he says is the best fitted man alive to rule the American people. When seen at his office by a Chicago Defender reporter the elector-at-large said: "Taking the latest returns to be correct, I am, by the vote of a majority of the four million electors of Illinois, entitled to convene with twenty-eight ollers at such place as the Governor may designate, Monday, Jan. 13, 1913, and exercise the highest prerogative of an elector, by voting for the man I believe to be best fitted to serve the people of this, my country, as its President for four years commencing March 4 next. "This honor, coming just ninety days after the formation and birth of the new or Progressive party, and as a result of its first or initial act in its comprehensive, clean and clear-cut program for social justice toward all men, and that, too, in the face of an ill record made by the Republican party and the Democratic party for the past fifty years, the former the recipient for forty-two years of the vote and support of my people, and the latter its erst-while friend; with no precedent to follow or hope of reward to accrue, except a furtherance of its program, social justice, convinces me that the thinking men and women of the world will not longer hesitate to admit the sincerity, value and service the Progressive party can, and will be in the future to mankind, under the leadership of one whose religion is to labor fraternally to build up the unity of the human family, and that one is and shall be my choice for President, Theodore Roosevelt." Surgeon-General Says Members of the Race In the Army Are Seldom Sick. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Washington, D. C., Nov. 8.—The soldiers of the colored race endure the hardships of army life with less loss of time from active duty than the white enlisted man, according to the annual report of Surgeon-General George H. Torney of the War Department. The non-effective, or sickrate, of the colored soldier was 25.88, while that of the white soldier was 33.60. The report likewise showed that the white troops required the highest average number of days' treatment for each case of disability. The experiment of having men enlist for seven years is being watched by those interested in army affairs. The rule is that each enlisted man is to enlist for seven years, with four years of actual service, and at the end of this time his name is to remain on the list for three more years, subject to the call to arms at any moment. Quite a number of colored men are enlisting to recruit the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantry. HUGH HOSKINS, JR. BREAKS ARM. Pushmobile Victim Near Home—Is Rapidly Recovering. Master Hugh Hoskins, Jr., junior member of the firm of Hugh Hoskins, operating the Iowa Club at 3161 State street, was a pushmobile victim early this week. Young Hugh was enjoying himself near his home when his machine bucked and the popular youngster, was thrown so hard that his arm was broken. Prompt medical attention was given him and he was reported "improving rapidly" on Friday. PRESIDENT-ELECT WILSON ENDORSED Y. M. C. A. Wabash Avenue Branch Gives Out Letter Received in January, 1911. There was a great deal of interest in the election at the Y. M. C. A. headquarters. The day following the election Assistant Secretary Pierce gave out the following statements: "It may be of interest to our subscribers to read the following words, which were received during our tenday campaign for subscriptions in January, 1911, from President-Elect Woodrow Wilson to Mr. L. Wilbur Messer: 'My Dear Mr. Messer: The offer of Mr. Julius Rosenwald to contribute $25,000 towards a building for Young Men's Christian Association to be devoted to the interest of colored men and boys in any city whose citizens should raise $75,000 for the same purpose, excites my deepest interest. It is certainly an admirable form of benevolence and should appeal to all those who have the true interest of the colored people at heart. "Cordially yours, "WOODROW WILSON." Gov. Deneen, who subscribed liberally to the building fund, wrote: "I regard this as one of the most important steps you have taken in extending the influence of your association." Hon. Martin B. Madden, who is also a contributor to our building fund, telegraphed: "I shall be glad to contribute to the construction of the new $\Omega$ M. C. A. building." "President William H. Taft telegramed as follows: 'My Dear Mr. Messer: 'I sincerely hope that your movement toward the promotion of the Young Men's Christian Association in its service for colored men may have a successful issue. Nothing could be more useful to the race and to the country.'" COL. ROSCOE SIMMONS OFF ON A TRIP SOUTH Iinerary of the Brilliant Journalist and Lecturers—Will John Hon. Booker T. Washington in November at Mound Bayou for the Dedication of New Cotton Oil Mill. Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, the journalist, left the city during the week on his annual lecture tour and journalistic travels.

Anita Patti Brown, Chicago's famous song bird, returns home today from a tour of recitals on the coast.

The Mme. leaves again on the 15th instant for New York, from whence she sails in December for South America. En route she will give recitals in Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Springfield, Ohio, a matinee recital in Washington at Howard University, two in Philadelphia, one in a white Baptist church and one in Jersey City. PUT YOURSELF IN HIS PLACE SAYS B. T. WASHINGTON PUT YOURSELF IN HIS PLACE SAYS B. T. WASHINGTON Convict Labor Harmful to Whites Also—Justice Is Denied Race—White Lawyers and Judges All Admit That It Is Impossible for a Member of the Race to Get Justice When He Has a Case Against a White Man and All of the Members of the Jury Are White Men—Put Intelligent Men of the Race on the Jury. IDEALS OF INJUSTICE TEND TO ENSLAVE THE CAUCASIAN White Men Acting as Court Officers Who Can Not Render Absolute Justice on Account of Public Sentiment—Is Not Free—Injustice in the Courts Makes Slaves of Two Races in the South, the White and Black—"Put Yourself in the Other Fellow's Place," says Mr. Washington to White People of the South, "and See How Much Good it Will Do." It would help mightily toward the higher civilization for both races if more white people would apply their religion to the Negro in their community and ask themselves how they would like to be treated if they were in the Negro's place, writes Booker T. Washington in the Century. For example, no white man in America would feel that he was being treated with justice if every time he had a case in court, whether civil or criminal, every member of the jury was of some other race. Little Justice in the South. Yet this is true of the Negro in nearly all of the southern states. There are few white lawyers or judges who will not admit privately that it is almost impossible for a Negro to get justice when he has a case against a white man and all three members of the jury are White. In these circumstances, when a Negro fails to receive justice the injury to him is temporary, but the injury to the character of the white man on the jury is permanent. In Alabama 85 per cent of the convicts are Negroes. The official records show that last year Alabama had turned into its treasury $1,858,854 from the labor of its convicts. At least $500,000 of this came from Negro convicts, who were for the most part rented to the coal mining companies in the northern part of the state. Convict Labor is Profitable. The result of this policy has been to get as many able bodied convicts as possible into the mines, so that contractors might increase their profits. Alabama, of course, is not the only state that has yielded to the temptation to make money out of his man misery. The point is, however, that while $900,000 is turned into the state treasury from Negro convict labor, to say nothing of Negro taxes, there came out of the state treasury to pay Negro teachers, only $357,655. I speak of this matter as much in the interest of the white man as of the black. Whenever and wherever the white man, acting as a court officer, feels that he cannot render absolute justice because of public sentiment, that white man is not free. Injustice in the courts makes slaves of two races in the south, the white and black. A CAMP FIRE GIVEN BY JOHN R. TANNER CAMP No. 11 The officers and members of the John R. Tanner Camp No. 11, U. S. W.-V., gave a camp fire last Monday evening at the Eighth Regiment armory. Past Commander Gaskly of McGrew Camp, Commander Arthur J. Ammudeen of Columbia Camp, and Commander R. M.

The Chicago Encounter is Asked to Locate Brother and Sisters of Mr. Eugene Pugh, Who Was Born in Columbia, S. C. This week a reporter for the Chicago Defender met Mr. Eugene Pugh, 1715 Armour avenue, second flat, who is blind. A short talk brought out the fact that he was a native of Columbia, S. C., and the son of one of its most highly respected families. Coming north he worked as a railroad employee and lost his sight as the result of a wreck, and that he was on his way to the Oak Park Infirmary, Chicago's haven for the poor. He is a nephew of Dr. Crum, former collector of the Port at Charleston, S. C. Among the relatives that he named and whom he knew were George a brother, when he last heard from him was living in Savannah, Ga., while Leonard lived in Chattanooga, Tenn. Albert, better known as Chauncey De Pugh, was last heard from in New York. Any one knowing the address of his mother, Mrs. Georgiana Pugh, or of Ella, Ruth or Claudine, will kindly inform The Chicago Defender, Rev, M. G. Johnson of the same place, is earnestly sought by the fortunate boy. Southern newspapers please copy and promptly advise if there is any knowledge of the residence of the people mentioned. Once again we want to live up to our name and defend a worthy boy against misfortune. PERSONAL MENTION Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch and Mr. Julius Rosenwald will speak at the Institutional Church, Sunday evening at 8 o'clock. The Defender will not publish matter sent in on Friday morning. Had our candidates spent a little money and had a marked ballot published in our own papers and sent the word down the line to save our men we might have had one in office today. R. A. J. Shaw is wearing a broad smile these days over the advent of a fine eight-and-a-half-pound boy which arrived last week. Mother and son are doing fine, as patients of Provident Hospital. A. A. Wells is spending a few days in the city, after being away for several weeks in the southern part of the state. Mr. Wells is expected to leave shortly on his annual hunting tour. Lee Tobin is expected to leave for his case in Mobile, Ala., to stay for a few weeks very soon. Business is his reason for leaving at this time, especially when the time is so near at hand. David Burris is expected to spend Thanksgiving in Indianapolis, Ind., this year. There is also a business phrase in his going as he recently fell heir to a lot of land in that section of the country. Dr. Herbert Anderson is feeling rather chesty over the victory of the party at the recent election. Doctor says it's only pasttime with him to be "Dimocrat." Will H. Clark usually takes things rather philosophically. Therefore, he is simply saying, "I told you so." Will says he will take a trip to West Baden, Ind., for a few days to recuperate. James Miller, the tried and true, that is, as true as a man can be, where a Democrat is concerned nationally is moving among his fellow men with an air that is becoming to him and J. Ham Lewis. We hope James' dignity is national. The Honorable J. Wallace Swain is the busiest man in town, that is with the exception of those who have a job to tell how he be it over. Don't be surprised to see our friend Swain in some diplomatic position. There is some talk of a female minister show this winter by our leading young ladies for the benefit of the old folks home and Amanda Smith home. There will be something doing if such an affair is pulled off, and if the ladies can interest a certain gentleman to the extent of promoting the affair, there is no doubt but what it will be a go. Mrs. Lizzie Johnson Smith of St. Paul, Minnesota, came to the city to attend the funeral of Mrs. R. C. Davis, which was held last Thursday, October 31st. Mrs. Jennie Watson, of Minneapolis, Minn., passed through the city to Tuesday enroute to Columbus, Ohio, to visit relatives. Mose White, who was in a wreck recently in California returned home and fortunately he did not receive any serious injuries and is again at work. W. R. Sobers, our popular tailor, is expected to pay his home country a visit this winter. If he does not visit West Indies Island, he will go to Washington, or seaport. Mr. W. T. Francis, who hold the position of Chief Clerk in the Legal Department of the Northern Pacific Railroad in St. Paul, Minn., has resigned and is now practicing law independently. Joseph B. Crum is now making his home with his sister, Mrs. Jackson, 3723 Dearborn street. Joe says he love to stay, and his family will soon. Julius N. Avendorph refused to anybody's badge save R. R. Robinson's on election day in his product. Julius is true to his people at all times, and three votes was his donation to his old friend Jackson. Mr. Lewis F. Phinney, Cairo, Ii. Grand Chief Mentor of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, attended the funeral of Officer Hatcher Thursday. Mrs. Hatcher is the Chief Preceptess of the order. Mrs. Pearl Harris of Windsor, Canada, sister of M. M. Murray, 3153 State street, who is on a visit here, entertained at Whist Wednesday night. The interesting game was followed by dancing. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. French of Par-6 Kansas, were in the city this bury her daughter, Mrs. An-aris. Mrs. J. A. Christian of sister and Chas. W. wton, a brother, also versal. OWLS USED TO KILL CROWS Maryland Farmers Tie Decoy to Tree and Then Await Attack of Pests. Baltimore, Md.—"It doesn't seem to me that there could possibly be any more crows on the Patapso and Gunpowder river bottoms in Maryland than there are now," said John Gilbert, the traveling grocery-man, "but any farmer there will tell you that if it wasn't for the bubo owl there would be twice as many. "I don't know anything about a bubo owl except what the honest farmers of those rich bottoms told me. I never saw a bubo owl, but I heard that this member of the owl family is as big as a hawk, can see in the daytime as well as by night, and dotes on crow. "Having eyes to see both by day and by night, the bubo owl picks off its crows from their roosts as well as capturing them by daylight raids. "Knowing how difficult it is for a man to get within gunshot of a crow if the man carries a gun, and how THE BIRD HOUSE Nest for Breeding Owls. futile are ordinary devices to draw the crow to a spot where a man with a gun is lying in ambush, the Maryland landers, so they told me, long ago discovered the value of the bubo owl as an aid in this respect. To take advantage of the aid of the bubo the farmer must first get the bubo. "The bubo is no fool himself, and it is no easy trick to get him—that is, to get him alive, for he would be of no service dead. The native dwellers back in the hills have a way though of trapping the bubo by means of a live chicken used in collaboration with a box trap, and they manage to supply the farmers to some extent with these owls, although, they tell me, not enough to meet the demand. "The owl is tied at a spot where he may be seen from the adjacent cornfield, and if he is not discovered by the crows when they come in the field he will soon be discovered by a sentinel crow, for the hubo will forget that he is a prisoner and before long will rise to make a swoop down on that field after the crow. The string will quickly jerk him back to the limb though. But he has been discovered. The sentinel caws the alarm and the crows rise and make a dash for him, each one vociferously yelling its anger. "The farmer, a hired man or two and as many more of the family as are inclined to join in are in hiding in the bushes near the tree where the bubo is a captive lure, each with a double barreled shotgun. As the crows come flocking fiercely in they are met with a volley and a dozen or more are seen to come tumbling to the ground dead and wounded. "The crows, demoralized by the unexpected and deadly assault, turn and hasten from the woods. Naturally the owl rises from its perch frightened. This rising of the hated foe as if to pursue them overcomes the alarm of the crows and they gather again and dash back to assail him. The masked battery opens on them again and their number is depleted by half a score or so more. PREFERS DEATH TO ASYLUM Alleged Murderer on Trial at Washington Won't Allow Plea of Insanity. Washington—Tony Milano, an Italian shoemaker, on trial in the District supreme court on a charge of murdering Harry E. Smith, 12 years old, and then setting fire to his shop to hide the alleged crime, caused a sensation in court by declaring that he would rather hang than go to an insane asylum. Counsel for Milano had announced that they would enter a plea of insanity to save their client from the gallows, but when the government rested its case the accused man refused to allow his attorneys to contend that he was insane. The court took a recess to permit the attorneys to outline a new defense. TOWNS STOP SELLING CIDER Action by "Dry" Villages Result of Alleged Intoxication From Supposedly Harmless Drink. Wilmington, Del.-As the last word in local option, the town councils of Milford and Georgetown, two "dry" villages near here, have passed ordnances forbidding the sale of sweet cider. This unusual action was brought about by the sale of a manufactured drink called "cider" which proved to be intoxicating. There were so many "drunks" from the so-called cider that the councils took drastic action. The farmers of lower Delaware, who derive a large revenue at this session from their older presses, have banded together and declare they will test the law. CORAL MADE ROADS Java, Holland's Oldest Colony, Has Finest Highways in East. Old Governor General Forced Wealthy Chinaman to Construct One of Main Roads-Material Taken From Sea. The Hague, Holland—Holland is famed for its excellent roads, and when colonies were acquired one of the first tasks in those regions was the laying out of highways. Java, which is one of the oldest of Holland's colonies, is a model to other eastern countries in the facilities of its communications, and not a year passes but that more miles of roadway are constructed. Every three or every five years, as conditions may require, the existing roads are heightened up anew, and they are constantly kept in the best repair. By these periodical heightenings many of the roads that run through the valleys have come to resemble the dikes of the old fatherland. The tendency has been to plane away unevenness, to make the inclines easy and gradual; in fact, to do away as much as possible with the inconveniences of a mountainous country, to which the dwellers in the Netherlands at home were not accustomed. As every inch of Java is arable land, there were no stone quarries from which material for the roadways could be delved and so other means had to be resorted to. It was the ocean, or, rather, the very tiny denizens of the deep, that furnished the necessary material. Java is surrounded by coral reefs, which the minute creatures have patiently been building up for untold ages. It is of this coral, the remains of the dead and gone millions of animalculae, that the roads are made. The Javanese go out in their boats to the reefs and there they stand the whole day, half submerged in the water, breaking up the coral. When the boat is filled with pieces of convenient size it is rowed or sailed ashore and the coral is spread on the roads that require it. Mixed with the soil, it makes the best imaginable material, being strong and easy for traffic. In former years the natives were compelled to do this work as a sort of unrenumerated service to the government. Later on, when the ideas of serfdom began to change, the natives were paid for their work and were only obliged to give a few days of every month of their time to the government. Then, and not so very long ago, the compulsory service was abolished altogether. Nowadays the roads are most '7 kept in repair by the convicts—the 'chain gang' as they are called in India. The very first road built at the command of the Dutch in India was that from Batavia to Samarang, stretching just half the length of Java. The famous Jan Pleterson Coen was then Part of Coral Road. governor general. That he was quite a despot can be gathered from the way in which he contrived to get this great work done without its coating a penny to the high and mighty Dutch East India company, which then held away. Even in those early days the Chinese had found their way to Java and had also found plenteous means of enriching themselves there. One Chinaman was known to be the wealthiest man in Batavia, Jan Peterson Coen called him into his doughty presence. When he arrived, pale and trembling, the governor said: "Chinaman, I want a good road to be built from Batavia to Samarang, and you must build it! You must build it at your own cost, and it must be well done, toot. If you do not do what I tell you I will have your head struck off." No protestation, no lamentation of the wealthy Chinese could move him. The work had to be done, or the death penalty would have to be paid. This the unfortunate possessor of untold wealth realized. He loved his money dearly, but he valued his life even more; so he stopped lamenting and set about his task. A whole army of coolies were set to work and in an incredibly short time a splendid highway united Batavia and Samarang. The Chinaman's head remained on his shoulders, and it is believed he soon found divers ways of recouping for his loss of gold, and Java was the better off for a fine road that had not cost the government a penny. But that happened in the long ago. Modern governments are debarred from taking any such drastic measures to enforce the institution of public utilities. Kansas Pair Who Were Childhood Friends Fifty-seven Years Ago Wed. Topeka, Kan.—Samuel C. Wyatt, seventy-four years old, and Mrs. Susan Pettifohn, seventy-two years old, were married in the probate court here. The pair first met fifty-seven years ago when boy and girl in Missouri. It has not been an unbroken courtship, for the old couple insist that they were just good friends then and both have been married since. When they became widow and widower, a correspondence began which resulted in the wedding. "We were both lonesome," the groom explained. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER S STOCKHOLM CITY OF BEAUTY Treasures of King's Palace and Steamer Trips Among the Islands Are Some of Sweden's Attractions. Mr. Gwynne was led Stockholm, Sweden.—Stockholm has the appearance of a beautiful pleasure resort instead of a busy commercial city of several hundred thousand inhabitants. The king of Sweden's palace lies on an island between Lake Maler and the Baltic sea. Entrance to it can be obtained without difficulty. The visitor is courteously shown through a labyrinth of state apartments, suite succeeding suite, containing priceless tapestries, marvelous china, pictures and portraits, statues, vases and brie-a-brac, the gifts of Napoleon the Great, the third emperor, the Russian cars, the emperor Japan and many other notable people. At the rooms have splendidly incandescent rooms, crystal candelabras and huge mantelpieces made of Dresden china—a bewildering wilderness of curious and beautiful things which it would take days to explore thoroughly. One of the chief pleasures of a sojourn in Stockholm comes from the numerous steamer tribes which can be THE MUSEUM Stockholm Chateau. made in a day to some one or other of the many islands lying between the city and the open sea. On these islands, divided by narrow channels of deep, still water, opening out here and there into lakellie lagoona or wilder river-like spaces, and with shores all clothed with pines to the water's edge, the people live their summer life. On the banks are many pretty villas with tiny landing stages amongst rocks which rise sheer out of fathom deep water. Some of the little islands are joined to larger ones by picturesque bridges, whilst red and white and green restaurants are set about among the pine trees. Surpassing all other beauty is the indescribable northern twilight with its wonderful tender blue shot through with glowing pink light. The light is clear and bright, so much so that one can see everything distinctly, can read and write with ease, and yet it is not daylight, nor could it be mistaken for such. One can sail in and out for many hours between the islands before reaching the open Baltic with its crisp waves and rougher water. ROYALTY IN A FAMILY BOW Queen Mary's Efforts Hard Because the Teck Disputes in England Are Well Known. London.—It is an open secret in court circles that Queen Mary's efforts to bring her family into greater prominence than they have hitherto enjoyed, are being seriously hampered by the continual blocking which goes on between her brothers, the duke of Teck and Prince Alexander of Teck. The brothers, with their wives and families have been occupying apartments at Windsor castle, but owing to the strained relations existing between them, it has been found necessary to find the duke fresh quarters at Frogmore. The duke and Prince Alexander are temperamentally as unlike a chalk and cheese, and the latter's wife strongly disagrees with her sister-in-law on the subject of bringing up children and other domestic matters. Alogether the Tecks, who are heartily disliked by the public, are far from being a happy family. Queen Mary and the duchess of Teck are always at loggerheads on the question of the education of their children, and the latter's daughters are forever quarrelling with their cousin, Princess Marry. Despite the fact that King George took his brother-in-law with him to India, it is an open secret that he is not fond of the duke of Teck's company, for the latter, contemptuously styled, "Fat Adolphus" by the men in the street, has an aggressive manner, and differs from his royal relative on almost every subject under the sun. PAYS HER WEDDING DOT Woman of 61 Glives Groom of 63 Fifty Dollars In Gold and Says "Get to Work." Kansas City.—When Harris Goldberg, sixty-three years old, and Rose Byer, sixty-one years old, were married here a fifty-dollar "dot" played an important part. While the clerk was making out the marriage license Goldberg suggested that Rose had forgotten something. She at first seemed hazy as to the pre-naptual agreement, but finally after naming over several figures to herself she settled upon the amount of $50. This contract was then drawn up: "On consideration of marriage, I, Harris Goldberg, agree to waive all right and interest in the estate and property of Mrs: Rose Byer, whom on this day I have agreed to marry; in addition, to pay the wedding expenses, including the license fee, I herewith accept $50 in cash." Mrs. Byer paid in gold and the ceremony was performed. "He's worth it!" she said, and then, turning to her husband of half a minute, ordered: "Now you take that fifty dollars and buy a horse and wagon and get to work." But Goldberg answered shyly: "Won't you kiss me, Rosie?" "Not in a public place like this," was the stern answer. Sample of Ingalls Satire. Many years ago, when Senator Ingalls was in the senate, oleomargarine was a bone of contention. The debate led Ingalls to utter one of those epigrammatic sentences which made him famous. "I have never, to my knowledge, tasted oleomargarine," said Ingalls, "but I have stood in the presence of genuine buter with awe for its strength and reverence for its antiquity." Old French Furniture The old French cabinet makers, like the old masters in violin making, had the fashion of stamping their names on their manufactures. Today a cabinet or secretaire with the name of an old French master cabinet maker, mattre enebiste, may bring a great price. Such was the case a short time ago when a commode signed C. C. Saunier, M. E., brought in Paris $25-200. Not Entirely Biblical. When the Bible was translated into Japanese an equivalent to the word "baptize" could not be found, and the word "soak" had to be used instead. So that Japanese biblical students are acquainted with a person named "John the Soaker" and with a doctrine of "soaking for remission of sins." Proud of Record. A clergyman in Chicago, celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of his pastorate, draws attention to the record of happy marriages at which he has officiated. Out of 4,607 couples married, only two couples have been divorced. Not at All.

Last week I bought cigars and booze For friends who said I couldn't lose. I guess they've heard last Tuesday's news— Wilson—That's all. And the next day it rained. President Wilson doesn't sound half bad. People are so sick of machine rule that they wouldn't even vote on one. Be a game loser. Stop explaining how it happened, and get busy. What has become of the Jack Johnson affair? Oh, yes, politics; we forgot. The coal man isn't such an unwelcome visitor after all. There was more than one candidate who went to bed at nine o'clock on election night with a headache. If the price of turkeys doesn't raise before Thanksgiving we'll all have something to be thankful for. Now that the election is all over let's settle down to business and make things hum. James Hamilton Lewis for Senator a man from our (the editor's) home, Savannah, Ga., and when we say a man, we mean a man in every sense of the word. Just, upright and God-fearing, always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need, always finding something good in the most depraved, the people are to be congratulated for their good judgment in the selection of a Senator and we are doubly pleased and wish him the success he so richly deserves. In response to an appeal for funds for the poor little sick girl who was so shamefully mistreated in the County hospital, The Defender is in receipt of several checks since our last issue. This is a case that should appeal to every one, and every contribution, no matter how small, will be thankfully received and acknowledged. The entire affair is being thoroughly investigated and when all the facts come to light no doubt the offender will get his just deserts. In the meantime, don't forget she needs your support. The gentlemen who conducted the affairs of the Progressive party in Philadelphia would have shown common sense and spent a few dollars their instead of sending in other states. At all of their bereavement with them, man who would his own fame place they --- call home; then it would look right for them to at least have spent $1,000 with Chicago papers out of the $4,000 sent out of town. One thing that can be said in favor of Texas is that our people there are a thrifty lot. Besides their numerous city ventures, large tracts of land are owned and cultivated by them and many are becoming independently rich. This even with all the disadvantages they labor under. Texas is a wonderfully rich state and much of it is yet to be developed. Everything worth while is worthy striving and fighting for and the Chicagoans who have gone down there carrying with them the push and energy of the "Windy City" are making good. Scatter out to the four ends of the earth until you have accomplished your purpose and then in your declining years you will have enough laid by to keep the wolf from the door. A certain New York minister entertained his congregation a few Sundays ago with a harangue about Jack Johnson and his white affiliations. He cited that we have in our own race women as fair as those of any other nationality. Had he given the matter a little thought he doubtless would have hesitated before he laid so much stress upon the fair members of the race. He looked at the effect and not the cause. Every man or woman, be they white or black, have the right to choose their life partner according to their own views and the disgrace does not lie in legal marriages. We are sorry to say that a great many of our ministers devote too much of their time to tearing down and not enough to the building up of our people. Cary B. Lewis, the Henry Waterson of the colored press, deserves a world of commendation for the effective work he did in the campaign just closed. As a newspaper writer he is strong, brilliant and forceful, and his matter is sought after by the leading papers of both races. While in the strictest sense he is not a Chicago production, much of his best work emanated from here. Those who have heard him on the rostrum are loud in his praise as a speaker. He is a young man and The Defender expects to hear great things from him in the future. During the winter months, through our solicitation, Mr. Lewis has consented to give several—as he terms them—common sense talks to our young people. The time and the place will be announced later in this paper. The Tribune published in glaring headlines, "Race war in public schools," then went on to say that a colored boy was pounced upon by a number of football players because he was supposed to have said something to one of the boys' sister while passing. Upon investigation they found that there was no truth whatsoever in the story, so, to ease their conscience (?), retracted it a few days later. The retraction, however, was put in an obscure corner of the paper. The damage was done and this great paper seems to take especial pains to herald broadcast anything derogatory to the Negro they can find or make up. If they would devote as much space to extolling our virtues as they do to hold up our faults to the world, we would be very grateful. A great many of the boys connected with our post office are complaining about the treatment accorded them in their several departments. It matters not, it is alleged, how proficient they may be or how long they may have been in the service. They are permitted to rise so far and far; the higher offices are unattainable. Civil service, yes; but it isn't always the one who is fleetest of foot who wins the race. This "colorophia" has kept a good man from reaching the top. Our new postmaster—for a new one we undoubtedly will have—may see the injustice that is being done and set things to rights. We should have representation in every department; we should have heads at some of these sub-stations. These things we not only ask for but demand because we are entitled to them. The post office is the one place where we could reasonably expect, all things being equal, advancement. The attention of the present postmaster is to be called to the situation and we trust a speedy adjustment will follow. Now that we have all put our shoulder to the wheel and helped to bring about a Democratic handmade, what does it mean to us? Have we jumped from the frying pan into the fire? Have we left our friends and willingly gone into the enemy's camp? And why has such a radical change come over us at this particular election? These and hundreds of similar questions doubtless have been asked by the unthinkable element Col. Henry Watterson hit the nail on the head when he said, "There is no real connection between Republican policies of the present time and the abolitionism of the fifties." Since the civil war the Republican party has regarded the Negro as a part of the spoils of war. The Progressives, an offspring of the G. O. P., felt likewise. We seemingly were as much a chatel of the political machine as we were of the plantation owner. The Democrats, realizing the situation, extended their hand in good fellowship. Having fully repaid this "debt of gratitude" we felt at liberty to accept their proffered friendship. We ask of no party more than they would accord any upright American citizen and we feel sure that the Democrats with whom we have allied ourselves will give us no cause for regret. COLERIDGE-TAYLOR MEMORIAL It is fitting that the Choral Study club should take the initiative in holding memorial exercises for Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, the greatest composer of our race, and the Institution church next Sunday afternoon, Nov. 10 at 3 p. m., should be filled to overowing to bear testimony to the high esteem in which he was held in this city. been arranged. Mr. Daniel Trotheroe and Dr. Charles E. Bentley will be the principal speakers. Many who attended the Dunbar Memorial will remember the masterly paper Dr. Bentley prepared and read upon that occasion and will look forward to another such treat, knowing that the Doctor was a personal friend of the composer and has for many years observed the landmarks he has made in a career pregnant with achievement. Samuel 'Coloridge-Taylor' was a Negro and he never sought to keep in the background this fact. On the contrary, it was one of his hobbies to study the music of the people with whom he shared a common origin. He was only proud of his achievements because of the benefits that were likely to be derived from them by his people. Though he hns gone from us, his memory and his works will live forever. He is one of the few people on our race; what he has accomplished over the course. The ladder of fame is waiting for climbers and it is never too late to start. IN THE SADDLE. There be new riders in the saddle. The election of Mr. Wilson to the Presidency brings into prominence a new and, in some respects, unrested set of men. Out goes the famous "Black Cabinet," many of whom were yellow, that has fattened upon official grass and grown sleek upon government sweets. Napier back to his bank. Tyler back to his "copy hook" Lewis back to the outstretched arms of Boston and Boston's Trotter. Johnson back to feast in Georgia and Whitfield McKinley out of Georgetown into Washington. In comes Bishop Alexander Walters, his cohorts, his supporters and his numerous satellites. During the heat and strife of the campaign Bishop Walters, as much patriot as priest, and more politician than either, promised in big words and big figures for Gov. Wilson, and the Governor indicted a wringing note in which he highly praised colored folk, waxing eloquent upon his friendship for them. The months shall weigh his words and measure the sagaciousness of the Bishop. Now for the battle of the spoilsmen. The strength of colored Democracy is in the east and soon we shall see who is who, and which is which indeed. Though the waters are not ceaseless, yet many are at the fountain. If the good Bishop Cia place James D. Carr, the brains of the United Colored Democracy, Rufus L. Perry, Robert N. Wood, Thos. W. Swann, James A. Ross and Jim Curtis, the only professional gossip among high-tone colored New Yorkers, together with the children of the west, and yet retain his crown, where we took him for a pupil, behold he did prove himself a master. Here's to the riders: May their saddle hold, the belly-band neither pulling nor breaking, and may their saddle not be with those with out a "buck," or a stumble. DR. WASHINGTON'S CONVERSION All things come to those who wait, and those who wait are they who reap in the fullness of the years. The Defender is among the great host that has known the secret springs of Booker Washington's hidden powers, understood his policy, Fabian, so-called, and appreciated the method with which he pursued the same end sought by the talkers who talked so much that they have had no time to do. What Dr. Washington has finally done we knew long ago he would find necessary to do. The wrongs under which his people suffer, singing the while they suffer, have at last pressed him to speak out in the moving language of protest; to speak with an authority that no other man could employ, and with a directness that no other man, furnished with the opportunity, would fail to employ. In the Century Magazine for November Dr. Washington appears as a contributor. His appeal is styled: "Is the Negro Having a Fair Chance?" He finds for the negative, and he finds for the negative without an apology. After five and twenty years of silence, in which there was the method foreign to the unthinking, the great leader assumes the offensive in the struggle which he has led as the master of defensive combat. The Negro is not having a fair chance, he tells the world. The Negro is lynched upon trivial provocation. The Negro is disfranchised without reason and Jim-Crowed with indecent malice. The Negro is shut out from industrial pursuits in certain sections of the country, and in other sections the so-called unions have seized him a scab. The unions have provided for him in South are a mockery of education, and in the courts of law he can hope to find no full and exact justice. It is a terrible indictment drawn in the calm language of the man of courage forced to speak by the broken promises of silence. The snapping hounds of envy that have long tracked the heels of the great leader must now cease. With a pen's stroke Dr. Washington makes sure the election of his calling, long ago accepted by all, as the particular voice of his people crying in the wilderness. Call for the Century, and read this, taken from the pages: "I am aware of the fact that in what I have said in regard to the hardships of the Negro in this country I throw myself open to the criticism of doing what I have all my life condemned, and everywhere sought to avoid; namely, laying overemphasis on matters in which the Negro race in America has been badly treated." That is all right, Dr. Washington. Nobody will criticize, save the turn-devils of envy and prejudice. The Defender conveys the congratulations of the elect among the people. SUCCESSOR TO DOUGLASS. The Springfield Forum, brilliant among our brightest exchanges, heard Roscoe Conkling Simmons make a speech down at Decatur, and says in the course of an editorial: "At a political meeting held in Decatur Wednesday evening, Oct. 30, Mr. Roscoe Conkling Simmons of New THE CHICAGO DEPENDER rose the merely and co- ing pal for orks in the dies with in we York delivered a speech, the finest and most eloquent and most powerful speech we have ever heard or read, a masterpiece of eloquence and oratory, an historical treat, polished and finished with rhetorical glory. "He literally held his audience spell- bound for an hour. Few men excel him, a perissor orationality. He is a second Frederick Douglass. He came as one crying in the wilderness for the race's salvation and he plead for the Republican party and the per- petuity of our sacred institutions. "Mr. Simmons is on the staff of the New Lork Tribune, the greatest newspaper in the land. He is one of the most versatile writers the colored race has thus far produced." "A second Frederick Douglas!" That is a mighty high compliment; perhaps the highest; high, yet in this case it is not ill-bestowed. Col. Simmons has remarkable gifts, and he has dedicated them to the cause of his race and of man. The years will bring him where unto he has set himself, if he doesn't give down. Some day his own people, whom he defends and celebrates with unfaltering breath, will render in his behalf the praise that white men freely bestow upon him now. The Defender knows no one worthier than our own Roscoe, journalist, orator and patriot. TO OUR READERS The Defender is determined to lead; determined to serve well the best and most progressive newspaper clientele in the country. The management takes especial pleasure in announcing that Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, the gifted journalist and orator, will hereafter contribute generously to the editorial and feature columns of The Defender. That is all necessary to say, for Col. Simmons is everywhere recognized as the leading active journalist among colored people, and is praised by great delights as a stylist worthy of the rest. But for his many lecture engagements, that will keep him on the platform for several months, he would assume the editorial desk, but this shall come. From Our Exchanges BEGGARS ARE FEW. That begging among the colored people of Baltimore is rare, and that when they do beg they are in need of charity in every sense of the word, was the statement made by Cardinal Gibbons recently in the sermon he preached after administering confirmation at St. Barnabas' church. The Cardinal said that he had come to that conclusion after a careful investigation during the last several years. St. Barnabas' church is one of the three Colored Catholic churches in Baltimore.—The Catholic Citizen. Our Women The Gaudeamus Charity Club meet on Monday the 4th at the home of Mrs. Clara M.

A man's heart is not always where his trunk is, especially if his trunk's at home. * * * With man's aid, the devil is able to accomplish most anything. * * * The people who have less faults than we are few; the people who have more are fewer. * * * After we are old enough to manage ourselves we generally have no manager. * * * It is hard for a married man to die with money. * * * The people who are not loved by us generally live too close to us. * * * About the biggest lie in history is the one told about the man who never told a lie. It is as hard to save money as it is easy to spend it. In our most disagreeable hours we always hunt up some one to be with. Some people have more friends than they have anything else, except enemies. Courage Makes Success Many a man has dried up in a little wayside opportunity, merely because he lacked the courage to acknowledge to himself that his judgment had landed him in the wrong spot. Fortune disdains mere ability—brain is nothing without bravery. The man who can be thrashed by a sneer has retreated before he is defeated.—Herbert Kaufman. He—What kind of a resort' was it you were at? She—Well, judging from the kind of men I saw there, I should say it was the last resort for marriageable girls. Forcing Acceptance "What are, you doing with that mask and those gumshoes? Surely you are not going in for burglary?"

THE EDITOR'S MAIL True Reformers Make Good, Says Chief M. T. Bailey. Editor of The Chicago Defender—Dear Sir: Please permit me to say that the Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers has begun to take its place among men, women and children as in former days when all went well with the order. New members are coming in and the receipts are increasing daily throughout the country. The confidence of the order is being re-established everywhere. The minister in the pulpit, the attorney at the bar, the physician at the bedside of his patient, and, in fact, the business men and women in every walk of life see that the Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers is destined to live and succeed. As the general sentiment of the American people is to drift in the direction of success there is no doubt that anyone can say that the above order has succeeded. They have added 14,000 new members during the past year and collected more than $100,000, and after paying about $50,000 in death claims, was able to keep all of its other obligations paid up to date. So the future is bright for the order. 'Yours for success. THE SICK The Latest News About Your Friends and Acquaintances Who Are Under the Physicians Care.

But how it is to do so. Can we form any tal picture of the actual animal that the manward impulse has elled through?

Much less can one picture to one self what his ancestor was like in the age of the invertebrates amid the trilbites, for example, of the carlie paleozoic seas. But we must go back even earlier than that, back to uni cellular life and to original proto plasm, and finally back to fiery nebulous matter. What can we make of it all by way of concrete conception what actually took place—of the visible, eating, warring, breeding animal forms in whose safe-keeping our heritage lay? Nothing—John Burroughs in The North American Review. Inadvertent Humor of Signs "Long before Dickens turned the limelight that Tooley street sign: 'Carpets cleaned, advice given, furniture moved and poetry written on any subject,' the study of a city's signs has interested the strolling stranger," remarked a stopover tourist from the west. "How suggestive that sign of a couple of ice dealers we saw this morning in Georgetown, 'Cool and High.' And the versatility of his race was exhibited by an Italian in a sign over his shop on Ninth street, near the public library: 'Wood, Spaghetti, Coal and Olive Oil'—all the Italian necessities of life. "Have you got any coal oil?" I asked, urged by curiosity. "You so da sign," was the Dalphie response! I don't know now whether he had any or not. "As we neared the wharf, bound for Mount Vernon, my wife pointed to a great roof sign, over a large supply house: 'Iron Stins; Wood Floats; it ran. "Humph, she sneered contemptuously, 'we didn't have to come all the way from Indiana to find that out.'"—Washington Times. Many Soldiers in Munich One cannot walk half a square in Munich without hearing the clank of a sword. It makes one think of three things, preparedness and taxes. The German officer and soldier is omnipresent. He looms up before you, in his close-fitting gray coat and high red collar, at the theater, the opera, the concert, the cafe—everywhere. He passes your window, perhaps in the morning at the head of a company of soldiers, all of them singing a rousing marching song at a raplad cadenade. And it is the singing soldier who interests one the most. His song is unlike anything we hear at home. One hundred of him marching down a hard granite street at hurricane, with the tramp of many feet marking the time of the song, will get anyone out of bed. The song has a way of halting here and there for a brief interval. In the middle of a phrase it suddenly rests, while three or four sounding steps ring out on the pavements. And then the song goes on again until it dies away in the distance. Dried Peas as Liver Pills An enterprising swindler in England has recently been arrested for selling dried peas as "little liver pills." They were sold on the assurance that they were "excellent medicine." Of course, dried peas are not an "excellent medicine," neither will they cure "liver trouble," but the same may be said of the many liver pills which contain drugs and are sold under claims even more fraudulent. The British swindler should have been better informed. When he desires to sell "liver pills" he should put some drugs in them—otherwise, the kind doesn't matter. Then he can lie about his product to his heart's content and he will be immune from arrest. In fact, if he can be enough of them he may look forward to the peated, Great Britain, as in the United States, it is not the mere act of swindling, but the method, that prove dangerous—From the Journal of the American Medical Association. Cynical Circassia Justice Levenson of Baltimore recently raised the alimony rate in his court on account of the high cost of living. In a discussion of this wise action, the justice said: "The women of the land will thank me, but the men—at least those men who have marital troubles—will develop a cynicism equal to the Circassian proverbs. There's a cynical Circassian proverb in marriage that says: "The nice best thing to no good wife."

Flat D GYNTHIA’S ADVENTURE ‘Tears gathered in the eyes of Cyn- thia Thomas as she gazed down at the little garden In the back yard of tie house adjoining that in which she ovcupled the smallest room on the top floor. Cynthia was going away—although she knew of no place to go. She had eaten nothing for two days, and was hungry. A recent interview with her land- lady had not been-a pleasant one— the shame of It was responsible for her tears, Landladies cannot walt more than four weeks for thelr room rent, and Cynthia bad not pald hers for five. Even now there seemed no Possibility of ita being paid for five more weeks, So she sald goodby to the little garden and looked about her room in valn for something she could pawn. There was nothing left—nothing but her clothes, and those she must keep 80 that she might look respectable even if the river had to be the solu. tion of her problem. During the fret few weeks after she had lost her position on the News Cyn- thla had rather enjoyed the experi- ence of “hard luck.” It had broad- ened her, developed her insight into ilfe, she thought. But the endless round of visits to city, editors, asking for a job, then the search for any. Kind of work ended frultlessly, ber money gone, and that curious gnaw- tng sensation, with a lightheaded faintness, was an entirely different matter. Bllndly she walked down Broadway, stumbling as she crossed the inter: secting streets. Presently sho met the eyes of handsome, well-dressed young man, a stranger, who lifted his hat with a'smiling “Good evening.” “Good evening.” said Cynthia, be- fore she was really aware what had occurred. "May I ask where you are going?” politely inquired the stranger. “I'm going to dinner,” she an- nounced firmly, with her head held proudly erect. “May I beg that you will take pity on me—and dine with me?” asked the man as he stood In front of her, hat In hand. “I am a stranger in the city and lonely. Task you to grant my Fequest, as a beggar would ook for alms. Won't you give me the pleasure of your company for an hour while we dine?” Cynthia looked tm squarely in the eyes—eyes that met Hers with frank straightforwardness. “Thank you,” she sald with quiet dignity. .“f wilt aine with you with pleesure. I have not dined for two days.” He looked at her with a start and his eyes read the truth in the face before him. Quickly he guided her to a quiet restaurant not very far away, where they found a table for two neat an open window. For two hours they chatted pleas- antly, lingering over the dinner. Cynthia liked the man. They were congenial companions. If only she had met him In another way. She could not continue an acquaintance formed thus. “What shall we do next?” he in quired cheerfully. “It's too hot tor the thestor. Shall wo take a drive by the river side? It’s early and wo can be back by ten if you wish.” ‘This proposition fitted in with her half-formed plan; so she agreed. “1 will wait in the reception room while you order the taxi,” sho mur- mured; but as soon as she saw him disappear down the corridor she hastily scribbled a note at the writ- ing table and gave it to the maid, with Instructions to hand it to the gentloman when ho returned, “You have probably saved my life. ‘Thank you—and goodby,” {t read. ‘The next minute pedestrians on ‘Thirty-ftth street were amazed at the sight of a stylishly gowned young woman running swiftly along that quiet thoroughfare. Was it fate that sent her directly into the arma of Mrs. Forbes, the 60- ofety editor on the Star, and the one ‘woman in all New York that she knew at all well, “Cynthia, child, whatever is the trouble?” asked that Kind soul, as she caught the excited girl by the arm and faced her about in the direction she was going. “Oh, Mrs. Forbes, they told me you were out of town.” “Twas. Just got back an hour ago.” ‘Then between Iittle gasps of laughter and tears, Cynthla told her story to the sympathetfe woman by her side. “You are to stay with me tonight, Cynthia; and tomorrow I'll introduce you to our managing editor, He Is looking for some one to report wom: en club news, and I'm sure you can land the Job. At any rate, we'll try.” “Now you must get to bed, You are all worn out and nervous,” continued the motherly little woman, as she led the way up the steps of an apartment house where her own rooms were the daintiest and coztest:tn the building. In her dreams Cynthia saw the gray eyes of her dinner companion and wondered if ever again she would look into their kindly depths.

Clarence Brown, Former Stat Run ner, Broad Jumper and Football Player at Crane Technical High School Overlooked In Some Way— Jones Star at Lake High School. ‘eir-diditien 2A veins: In some unaccountable way Clar ence Brown, one of the former bright- est shining Nghts in high echdol ath- Jetics in Chicago, has been oveflooked in the course of my prilclesy Met ae reerettea Boon y type of> EDITED BY FRANK A, YOUNG paper, namely, that the young colored man who did ‘not take an active part in athletics in hts respective schoo! made @ gross mistake. This young man 1s holding a position with the International Harvester Company to- day, which resulted trom bis assocla- tion and standing In athletics, Brown attended Crane Technical High school, He was a member of both the track and football teams, In 1910, his sec- ond year, he represented his school in the Gook County High school traghmect and won the 440-yard run the high broad jump, ‘That same year Crane won the high school foot- ball championship, on which Brown played right end,’ ‘Through an accl- dent, a broken leg; he was kept out of the game last year and from what soveral of the members of his team said he missed being named on the Cook County AN Star team. Brown was one of the fastest and best de- Tensive a8 well as offensive players in the league, and as an end he stood alone. It has been, and 4s now my purpose in writing these articles to give to our readers first the informa- tion of what schools there are young colored men active in athletics, sec- ondly, to give credit to the young man when, and only when, he merits It, as sentiment is absolutely elimin- ated in this matter, and thirdly, to ty and show In what way, or if at all, he is benefited through the association. T want to encourage every young man playing on a. team, but I will not make a special article on him simply because he has made the team; he must do something and in doing some- thing the daily papers will make it known, and we cannot deny the fact that they are an authority on all pro- fessional and amateur games. It is ‘an undeniable fact that when a young colored man makes 2 team he has shown something that Is a degree better than bis adversary, and in many cases even when that proof is visible he is not given an opportunity; there- fore, it is always gratifying to see a colored man on a feam, asa chance is all we ask in any waikc of life. Mr, Young in his article along this line last week gave a list of and showed that the colored man was al- ways in the front ranks in the large colleges as well as in High schools, but it is not a question of what they have done; it is a question of today, with all the surrounding elements of prejudice does or will it help to ele- vate the conditions, which are as strong In the schools as it is any- where else, I claim that it will be- cause of the close contact that ath- letics brings the two races, ‘The case of Brown is one of the many indica- ‘tions of that fact. When one of our young colored men graduate from High school, if it is necessary, and in nine cases out of ten it is, he has some one that he can approach towards helping him to secure a posi- tion or the best method towards en- tering college, and particularly if he ‘has been prominent in atbletics, When the colored young man seeks the ‘help of some prominent alumnus, it is ‘not for money or clothing, but for bi influence he is able to bring to bear. There are five young colored ‘men playing regularly and subbing on ‘High school teams this season, in Chi- cago, but none of them have done ‘anything that warrants special men- ‘tion, other than Farrell Jones, quarter back on Lake High, Jones, notwith- standing his playing on a weak team, 4s, trom what the daily papers have said after each game he has played, including oll of sae pepert last: sur day, spoke of him as “an individual : star.” “He is the only colored young man that has played, within the last fifteen years, quarterback on a high ‘school team in Chicago. Many a star ‘has played on a weak team, but that does not have any drawback to his showing bis worth to his team. ‘The individual player will on all oc- jcasions show his individual strength ‘whether he is playing with a weak ‘or strong team, and thereby com- /‘manding credit for his work, Every player on a football team has a duty to fuldll, which is quite difterent, from most athletic games; when he fs not actively carrying the ball, he 1s play- Ang offensively, helping the man with the ball, and when, the opponents have the ball, he is playing defensive- ly, therefore ‘he is constantly in the oe INTERNATIONAL ° FOOTBALL.

The successful manufacturer must also look carefully after the matters of cost and waste. Also he must study the efficiency of both ile work people and his machinery. In other woFds, he must know the capacity of voth ‘these important factors in the production of high class goods, ‘Then after this has been determined comes the equally important matter of main- taining what may be called shop ef fielency to the highest possible stand- ards all the time. And in tho con- sideration of this important item both the employes and the machinery should have equal attention, : ‘The machinery must be given prop- er care, must be Kept clean, free from dirt and properly oiled and adjusted, to the end that it can be made to do its full capacity of work and do it in the best possible manner. So with the employes, they must have that consideration ‘for their comfort and health that will enable them to do the best work; that is, the products of their labor and skill must measure up to the highest possible standards in both quality and quantity it the factory or shop is to be profitable to doth employers and employes.

The three guests had distinguished themselves as leaders of the three great political parties. Mr. F. L. Barnett sounded the object of the gathering in an eloquent speech when he declared that he was glad that the time had come when members of his race representing all political faiths and affiliations could assemble, eat, drink and be merry, having the highest regard and feeling for one another. He said it marked an epoch in the Negro's political history. Prior to the banquet the guests were charmingly entertained with music and song. Mr. James T. Brewington was responsible for the banquet and Mr. A. N. Fields acted as master of ceremonies. Over forty of the leading politicians, were present at the banquet.

J.—A runaway horse attached to a milk wagon, in which there was a six-year-old girl, dashed through the main thoroughfare of Somerville the other morning. The runaway had several narrow escapes from colliding with other vehicles and at one time the milk wagon, was nearly overturned. As the horse turned out of Main street and ran wildly down a road leading to the open country, the terrified child was at the side door of the wagon, as if about to jump. Mrs. Rogers, daughter of William Bradley of New York, who has a summer place here, started after the runaway in her automobile, stopping on the street corner to pick up police Edward Ramsey. The horse had a start of half a mile, MILK SHAPE HAND DIRTY! The Terrified Child Was at the Side Door of the Wagon. but the automobile, driven by Mrs. Rogers, closed the gap in about three minutes. Mrs. Rogers kept her runabout well up with the horse for a mule, as she was unable to pass it with the milk wagon in front of her swinging from side to side of the road. She warned the child in the wagon not to jump and kept teoting the horn of her automobile loudly, for all vehicles to clear the way. John Logan, a young farmer, heard the warning in time to drive his conveyance out of the road. He also seized a horse blanket from his buggy and stood in the road waiting the approaching runaway. By a lucky throw he managed to cast the blanket over the horse's head. The blinded animal slackened its speed to such an extent that Mrs. Rogers was able to run her automobile alongside the milk wagon while Policeman Ramssey leaned out and caught the child safely in his arms as she jumped from the door. The horse brought up head-on against a fence and was captured. The wagon was owned by S. P. Nevis, a milkman. The horse sprang away from Nevis just after he had unified it, and led down the street.

Kenosha, Wis.—Andrew F. Stahl, sheriff of Kenosha county, staged a mock lynching near Salem the other day, with the object of frightening Wiley Davie, a negro, to confess stealing a shotgun. His plan was successful but the negro is now in jail, suffering from nervous prostration. The gun was taken from Fred A. Sharp of Kenosha. He had been hunting, and was asleep in a field when the negro passed. He told a hard luck story, and Sharp gave him a dollar. Then Sharp went to sleep again, and the negro returned and stole the gun. Sharp awoke, missed the gun and suspected the negro. Davie was captured. He did not have the gun with him, however, and protested that he had not stolen it. The sheriff believed the negro was lying and decided on a mock lynching scheme as a means of making him confess. Several farmers surrounded the prisoner, and the sheriff told him he had better confess. Then one of the farmers got a rope. It was thrown over the prisoner's neck, and he was being marched toward a tree when he suddenly halted and called out. "Don't hang me, men; I'll tell where the gun is." The rope was taken from his neck, and he led the sheriff to a nearby swamp, where the gun was found hidden. "I guess that is some third degree, boys, and I am much obliged to you for helping it out," was the only comment of the sheriff, as he tucked the negro into the automobile and started for Kenosha. Davie believes that the mock lynching was a bona fide uprising of the farmers against the black race.

Through a hole in a shellfish THE CHICAGO DEFENDER BEAR CAPPED WITH A TIN MILK PAIL Is Charged With Assault and Battery and Disturbance of the Frace. BRUIN'S SAD MISTAKE In an Effort to Drain Bucket of Warm Milk Animal Gets Vessel Fast on its Head—Escapes Farmer's Bullets and Gets Out of Hide Yard. Dangor, Me.—Somewhere in the wilds of northern Maine there is cruising a big bear, for whose arrest Pete Shinoda is issuing a suitable caped. Pete charges this bear with assault and battery, disturbance of the peace and larceny, and he is willing to go to almost any expense and trouble to get him. The bear can be identified easily. He is wearing over his head one of Tarrio's best ten-quart tin milking pails with five bullet holes in it, and on that account staggers about like a drunken man. It was sunset at Shin Pond, which peaceful locally is a few miles north of Patten, and Mrs. Pete Tarrio, who is fat and fiffy, was sitting on a stool just outside the barn milking their best cow. Pete was just inside the barn door milking another cow. Suddenly Mrs. Pete was startled by a loud "woof," "woof" behind her. At first she merely smiled and kept on milking, for she knew that her husband was a great joker and thought that he was trying to have some fun with her. But when she got a cuff across the back that knocked her sprawling, she knew that it was no joke. That Pete wouldn't treat her that way, and when she saw the cow gallop wildly off down the lane, she knew that one or something had declared war. Scrambling to her feet as quickly as her two hundred pounds weight would allow. Mrs. Pete was astonished to see a 400-pound bear with his nose stuck into the pall of warm milk. She yelled to her husband, who came out, took one look, and raced to the house for his rifle. While Pete was gone the bear lapped up most of the milk, and then, in an effort to get what was in the bottom of the pall, he lifted his head to allow the milk to run down his throat. That was a bad move to the bear, for the instant he tilted the pall the pall fell down over his neck and caught in the thick fur. He paused in a puzzled way, then began to run around in circles, occasionally butting into something, which had the effect of forcing the pall more firmly down over his shoulders. Pete appeared with his rifle and took a shot at the blindfolded bear, the bullet making a nice round hole in the tn pall but not disturbing the animal. W. Took a Shot, at the Blindfolded Bear, at all. The bear raced around the barnyard like a hen with its head cut off, knocking over a churn, a beehive and a swinging clothes reel. Another shot made another hole in the pail but didn't stop the war dance, and the bear now raced across to the house, climbed up on the back porch and knocked into eternal smash three dozen jars of raspberry preserves that Mrs. Pete had set out too cool. He daubed his fur with the hot mess of sugar and berries, and thereafter everything stuck to him—burrs, feathers, dried grass and dust, so that presently he was a disgrace to bear society. Tarrilo's dog now took a hand and worried the bear, while Pete made more holes in the critter's helmet. Finally the bear, with muffled grunts and snorts of rage and fear, managed to steer cut of the yard and put off down the road toward Shin Pond. Many of those who behead the apparion of the feathered bear wearing a tinnel helmet have taken pledge, which they keep until they know the circumstances. FINDS HERD OF WILD BISON Explorer Says They Number 800 Head and Are Guarded by Hudson Bay Indians. Winnipeg, Man—Harry Radford, the American explorer, who left Edmonton, Alberta, three years ago for the north country, reached Trenton river last winter, and has been hunting there this summer, according to word just received by the Hudson Bay company. News of his arrival at the bay across the Harren Lands was the first that had been heard from Radford in more than a year. Radford says there are more than 850 wild buffaloes in the Slave Lake district in the Hudson Bay country. He says they are well protected, and that there is every reason to believe they will multiply suddenly. The Indians, he says, will not allow on Lease of Edifice Was Originally Granted in 1693 to Body of French Protestants Ousted by Louis XIV. London.—Swallow street chapel, Plecadilly, the home of the Thetleish church founded by the late Rev. Charles Voysey, has an especial place not only in the chronicles of English nonformity, but, strange as it may seem, of English Freemasonry. The lease was originally granted in 1693 to a body of French Protestants, expelled from their native country by Louis XIV. on the revocation of the Eldict of Nantes; but, in the closing years of the reign of Queen Anne the congregation was so much decreased by deaths and removals that the holding and the chapel erected thereon were transferred to a number of Scotch Presbyterians. The pastor of these latter was Rev. James Anderson, afterwards D. D., of Aberdeen, who was one of the most active THE CATHEDRAL OF SAN MIGUEL Corner of Old Swallow Street Chapel, among the organizers of English Freemasonry in its present form, and its earliest historian. Because of that divine's active services in the Hanoverian cause, when Jacoblitism was very strong in the land during the first two Georgia reigns, the Swallow street lease was renewed to him and his Presbyterian friends in the time of George II., the warrant for this being signed first by no less a personage than Sir Robert Walpole, at that time the all-powerful prime minister. And Walpole was so much impressed with this earliest Masonic historian that, not content with subscribing for a copy of his most voluminous antiquarian work, he shortly afterwards induced Queen Caroline to grant him £200 from the royal bounty. WOMAN "DEAD" SEEKS MONEY Nurse Fights for Estate Involving Award of Damages in War Century Ago. New York—Miss Mabel E. Allen, her face glowing with health and her manner denoting the energy of the typical New England woman, has returned to her Brooklyn home from Boston, where she had gone for relief from a judicial decision, is legally dead. If that ruling is set aside, who has always earned her way as nurse and housekeeper, will become entitled to one-sixth of $27,000, with interest for from six to twenty years, according to the final decision. The story has several curious angles. It dates back to French privateering of a century ago. Miss Allen became a character in it two years ago when H. W. Seimer, a Brooklyn postman, informed her on his rounds one day that he had read a newspaper paragraph in which she was mentioned as an heless who had died. He felicitated her on coming to life. Frederick P. Bellamy, a lawyer, brother of Edward Bellamy, for whom Miss Allen is housekeeper at 260 Henry street, Brooklyn, looked into the case for her and took steps to assert her rights. The money involved was paid by France to the United States as a small item in the liquidation of damages to American vessels in West Indian waters by French privateers, when France and England were at war the early part of the last century. Out of more than $7,000,000 collected the sum of $27,000 was set aside for the account of Jonathan Merry, skipped of the schooner Polly, in trade between Boston and Santo Domingo. The French had seized the Polly. These awards lay in the treasury in Washington until 1890, when an act of congress released them. Skipper Jonathan was the great grandfather of Miss Allen and of the five cousins. GIRLS WITH 500 TRUNKS United States Customs Officials Set tie Dispute Over Baggage of Singers.

State St. Res., 4036 Dearborn A New Gas Light Invent Laboratories Ha The Amber This new light unit is the latest of a thousand and one Welsbach inventions. It is the final triumph of the great Welsbach Laboratories — the laboratories from whence came the first manlite light and nearly all the inventions that have since brought gas light into universal use in city homes. The New Amber Glow Light breaks all world's records. It yields a measured volume of full 157 candles of genuine Amber colored light while burning a trifle less than $ \frac{1}{4} $ of a cent's worth of gas per hour. This is more light for less money than science has ever deemed it possible to produce. And the fact Through special arrangement will be sold in Ch The Peoples Gas Lig The first consignment of beer received and the Com of the light in the hom loh 4567—or writ cream! that this huge volume of light is pure Amber in color makes it certain that this unit is destined to generally displace other home lights throughout the city. To help introduce this new light we are now distributing an "Amber Glow Book." A book that is full of intensely interesting and astounding facts. It tells why Amber light enhances harmonies of dress and decoration — why Amber light makes the skin look soft and smooth — why Mary Garden demands Amber light when she sings — why professional shooting experts wear Amber glasses and why Amber light is most soothing to the eyes.
