Negroes Uphold Mann Act who are importing colored women into the North from the South and buying homes for them, and living with them, it is said, in the summer; is this not a violation of the Mann Act? Information can be given of such persons to the government by phone or letter, and the culprits can be brought to justice and a step to save our young women will be made for the first time in the history of America. Hot Springs, Arkansas, should be watched in this particular as it is said it is a hotbed of such filth. Revenge is sweet and the Mann Act affords the only hope for the saving of our girls from the whites who would use them for immoral purposes. See to it then that your surroundings are not contaminated by women of this stripe here in the North. ALL WHITE PEOPLE UP ALL BLACK PEOPLE DOWN POLICY OF U. S. GOVERNMENT Justice to All Men, the Fundamental Principle in "the Land of the Free and the Home of the Bive," Seems to Have Been Trampled in the Mud in the Jack Johnson Case—The Entire Civilized World Wants to Know Why the Champion Is Still Held in Custody When Three Times the Amount of Bail Required in Other Cases Is Guaranteed Cash or Unincumbered Property Is Offered the Judge for the Release of "Jack." A Man of Color, Undefeated in His Chosen Line, Is Persecuted Beyond Endurance—Give a Man a Chance, Is the Verdict of the People—Why Hide Behind Prison Bars an Innocent Man?—Give Jack Johnson a Fair Chance and He Will Soon Prove His Innocence—His Loving Mother Sees Him Every Day—Other Relatives on Hand Before Doors Are Opened—A Feast for the Gods in Basket of Eatables. HAS COLORPHOBIA SUCH A ST A Man of Color, Undefeated in H. Beyond Endurance—Give a M. the People—Why Hide Behind—Give Jack Johnson a Fair C. His Innocence—His Loving M. Other Relatives on Hand Before for the Gods in Basket of Eat Champion Jack Johnson is still in jail. Judge K. M. Landis of the U. S. District Court still refuses to accept cash bail for his release, and every other kind of bond offered for the champion was declared faulty and rejected. But the champion still hopes for his release, while a small army of attorneys, headed by Hon. Edward M. Morris, are using every means known to the law to free their client. Public Sentiment Changes. His unsuccessful attempts to be released on ball have changed the sentiment in his favor. Many believe that colorophilia has gained a stronghold in Chicago. Mr. Morris went to Washington and argued the case before the U. S. Supreme Court, but at this writing no decision had been handed down by that august body. Declares That He Is innocent. Meanwhile the champion grows fat in the county jail. He declares his innocence and says that he could soon prove it if allowed his freedom on trail. During visiting hours every day hundreds of people, both white and black, call to see him. His mother, his brother and his sisters are daily callers. They arrive before the door is opened and only leave when the visiting hour is over. Large baskets of choice edibles are brought him every day. He also receives many flowers. Every one has noticed the wonderful devotion of his white secretary, Joe Levy. Mr. Levy spends every minute that is allowed with the champion and at night he sends some cheering message to him. Talks Freely to Reporter. Chicago Defender reporters have visited him several times this week and he has talked freely to them. Life declares that his health is fine. He said that the jail was a fine place to study human nature. "Why," said he, "see that fellow over there, he has a life term, and that fellow over there, he is to be hung for murder; but they don't make any fuss about it, it is only those fellows that are in for six months that make all the noise." This remark was brought about when questioned about the protest that was made by the other prisoners when he was put in jail. Many Able Lawyers. The champion's legal affairs are being looked after by a brilliant array of lawyers. Some are white, some are colored. Among his attorneys are Hon. Edward H. Morris, Hon. E. H. Wright and Hon. W. G. (Habeas Corpus) Anderson. None of these gentlemen have anything to say for publication. MANY KILLED AND HURT IN DIXIE WRECK Color Is Thrown Aside in Terrible Disaster—Men of Both Races Risk Lives to Save Others. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] New Orleans, La., Nov. 15.—Thirty persons were killed and more than seventy were injured in a wreck on the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley railroad early Sunday when a freight train crashed into an excursion passenger train bound from New Orleans to Woodville, Miss. Five of the coaches of the passenger train were burned and many of the wreck victims were cremated. All of the dead were members of the race except four. Several of the occupants of the front coaches who escaped injury were badly burned in their efforts to save those less fortunate. White men risked their lives to save injured people of color. Many of our prominent men rushed into the steam and flames to rescue white persons as well as members of their own race. 8TH REGIMENT LADIES IN "STAND UP" DRILL Will Astonish World at Their Annual Dance, November 19th, at Masonic Hall. The 8th Regiment Ladies' Auxiliary Dancing Party at the Masonic Hall, Tuesday evening, November 19th, promises to be a unique affair. Col Estelle Arnold will be in command. From the time that you present your ticket at the door you will be "under arms." Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Jefferson, and many other wives of the officers have been appointed as aids, and if you don't have the countersign you will be left on the outside. The "stand-up drill" is to be the feature of the evening. There will be a drill by the scouts of the auxiliary in costume, and the Zouaves will enact a battle scene. Around the camp fire, at the rear of the hall, there will be "Mess," but it will be continuous from the start to the finish. "Home, Sweet Home," means "Taps." It will then be about time for the newsboy to put the morning paper at your door, so order your auto and have "Sally" to prepare a light lunch, for you will be singing the popular air of the day. "I LOST BY 143 VOTES." Major R. R. Jackson's Terse Reply When Questioned About the Election. Major Robert R. Jackson, candidate for the State Legislature in the recent election, when questioned this week, explained his defeat by saying, "I lost by 143 votes, errors by clerks in several precincts in putting my votes down in the wrong column on the tally sheets lost me 420 votes. Election Commissioner Czarncki ruled against me and the changes in the vote defeat me." Mr. T. Webater Brown, assistant to Attorney Edw. H. Morris, is all smiles these days. He chuckles and smiles every time the famous lawyer appears. This "won't come off smile of his" is not due to any question of law, but to the fact that the "Stork" has promised to arrive at his home in time for him to play Santa Claus. Wonderful tales are told of the preparations for Christmas in the home of the Browns. CHICAGO, DLL., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1912. OLD RESIDENT OF CHI- CAGO PASSES AWAY. An Employee of the Morris Packing Co. at 43d and Loomis Street Succ cumbs Suddenly of Fatty Degenera tion of the Heart. Mr. Chas. Bailey, for 25 years a resident of Chicago and an employee of the Morris Packing Co. at 43d and Loomis streets, died suddenly on Thursday morning. His body was removed to Mr. J. L. Parks undertaking establishment at 3157 State street where an autopsy was held on Thursday afternoon, and it was decided that he came to his death because of a fatty degenartion of the heart. He was a financial member of the K. of P. lodge No. 4, and resided at 4842 Armour avenue. UNION NEWS CO.

The Southern society in this state, which for the past twenty years has sought to eliminate the Negro in politics, has at last won out. Great credit should be given the local branch, but the greater credit belongs to the mother body. At the close of the civil war, when vanquished in battle, the Southern aristocrats returned home. Up in Washington Lincoln had made his former slaves his equal. What was he to do? Proud in tradition, but poor in purse, the scions of the many families left stranded decided upon an everlasting campaign for the supremacy of the whites. Their daughters intermarried with the best blood of the North, while their sons were instructed into the basic principles of the South and sent North—journalism was their chief object, and, like Rome, they waited. Nearly a half a century had gone by when Grover Cleveland was elected and re-elected President. He gave the hated race the advantage of civil services—the Negro was benefited, and the South was still angry. But like Rome they still waited. Now the waiting is over. With the cherished power from the top and bottom of the National Government, and with absolute control in Illinois and other important states, they have at last come into what they call their own. The Southern society wins! For the first time in many years the race has no representative in the State Legislature, and whether the faithful of color in the Democratic party will be given the places now filled with Republicans is a matter of conjecture.

Once again we want to live up to our name and defend a worthy boy against misfortune. RELIQUOUS SCHOOL GUESTS OF WHITE BAPTIST CHURCH Miss Virginia Brooks, the West Hammond Reformer, and Others Take Part in Program. The Chicago Religious Training seminary was the guest of the Young People's Civic league at the First Baptist church at 31st street and South Park avenue, Friday evening, Nov. 8. The band was led by President Elijah Fisher and Professors Johnson and Faustin, Miss Maxwell and Miss Lottie McEwen. The school was accorded the most cordial treatment. Miss Virginia Brooks, the West Hammond reformer, and Miss Miner, the New York social worker, told of their labors and struck verbal blows at Chicago vices. The students of the seminary made several notes, so that they may be able to handle the civic problems among the race. The Chicago Religious Training seminary was founded by Drs. Elijah Fisher and S. L. M. Francis last spring. It is still in its embryo state, but somehow it makes an appeal to the needs of the community, since it has a large enrollment. The dean is a graduate of the University of Paris, holding the doctor of philosophy degree. The other members of the faculty are of special training for their respective departments. The supreme object is the training of aspirants to the ministry and other branches of religious work. "UNIVERSITY JOHNSON." Special to The Chicago Defender. Washington, D. C., Nov. 15—Mr. Robert Wynne Johnson, better known as "University Johnson," 67 years old, formerly coachman to Mayor T. E. Knott of Gary and now acting in the capacity of White House messenger, is said to have received the first official appointment made by President-elect Wilson. Mr. Johnson knew Governor Wilson when he was a boy at Columbia, S. C., and has been promised, it is said, reappointment to his present position as soon as Mr. Wilson takes his seat. Before coming to Gary, Mr. Johnson was one of the caretakers at Harvard University. KING'S DAUGHTERS BENEFIT BY RIVALRY There seems to be a sort of rivalry in entertaining the King's Daughters, and it can be termed Irene-Lewis vs. Julia Thompson. Mrs. Lewis has given two "High Teas," whatever that is, and Mrs. Thompson one. It is all a mystery to the reporter, but let the merry war go on. Mrs. Lewis entertained on Thursday of last week and Friday of this week. Mrs. Thompson entertained on Thursday of this week. "Tea" is all right, says the scribe, but if these entertainments continue I won't buy any more meal tickets. 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 ignorant of his whereabouts were George a brother, who he last ```markdown ``` --- A Large and Comprehensive Exhibit of Farm Products, Domestic Art and Other Sciences Have Been Arranged for the Annual Conference, November 20 and 21. By William A. Aery. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Hampton, Va., Nov. 15—The annual Negro Farmers' Conference will be held at Hampton Institute on Nov. 20 and 21. Addresses on practical problems of farm and home life will be given by Hampton instructors and outside experts. There will also be a comprehensive exhibit of farm products, domestic art and domestic science work, manual training activity, and public school hand work. Over three hundred dollars will be offered in prizes. The conference is an excellent index of Negro progress in Virginia and of the influence of Hampton graduates, farm demonstrators, and industrial supervisors. Invitations have been sent to the directors of experiment stations and deans of agricultural colleges. Doubtless many of these agricultural leaders will visit the Hampton Conference on the return from their Atlanta meeting. Dr. R. R. Clark, who has charge of the exhibits, has recently visited several Negro fairs and farmers' conferences. He has come in touch with the colored men and women of Virginia who are developing the conference spirit. Everywhere he found that excellent work has been done by colored women who are interested in the problems of cooking, sewing, poultry raising and home improvement. He noted that in sections of Virginia where excellent fruit is now being raised, scale and blight are found on the fruit offered as prize specimens. The warning is given that unless fruit trees are properly sprayed the fruit industry will soon be ruined. Dr. Clark has expressed the hope that the best exhibits shown at Tasley, Manassas, Ivor, Suffolk and Gloucester, Virginia, will be sent to the Hampton Negro Farmers' Conference. To obtain facts concerning Negro country life and to interpret them, is part of Hampton's agricultural and extension work. Today more calls for assistance come from Negro farmers in Virginia than Mr. Charles K. Graham, director of Hampton's Agricultural Department, can well furnish. JOHN BROWN'S LETTER GIFT TO HISTORICAL SOCIETY Adolphus S. Hubbard of San Francisco Presents Local Society with Important Missive. A letter to his wife and children by John Brown, the man who started off with his sons to free the slaves, who was hanged, and whose body, according to the old song, "lies a moulding ring in the grave," was received by the Chicago Historical society yesterday, and will be given a prominent place in the archives. The letter follows: "Osawatomie, Kansas Territory, "6th February, 1856. "Dear Wife and Children and Every One: "We are now in Kansas after a particularly hard winter. Owen's foot has become frozen and John has frozen his nose. Both are in bed. We have had middling hard weather, but have enough to eat and abundant reasons for unfeigned gratitude. "It is likely that when the snow goes such high water will prevail that it will be difficult for the Missourians to invade, and that God by this element, may protect Kansas for some time.

Reporters from The Chicago Defender last Monday interviewed Mrs. Lou Ella Young at her home, 3252 Forest avenue, who gave pleasing information of the T. E. Butler club, of which she is president. The T. E. Butler club, having been organized as an art club, has found time to do charity work as well. Their charity work has been so nobly done the Chicago Defender would like to see more time devoted to charity than to art. Mrs. Young, the president, told Fate has played an important part in the fateful hour of child birth of poor little Mator. Trusting in God as she has since her confinement as the result of the most outrageous attack by a "southern white gentleman" she gave birth to a baby boy. Praying that it might be a boy, that in case the child should be thrown upon its own resources it might better fight the battle of life in this world than its 'poor child-mother has been able to do, seemingly her prayers have been answered. Calling at the hospital Wednesday shortly after one o'clock, the darkest hour, of that chilly, damp and miserable day, the reporter was informed that the young girl could not be seen for ten days. Realizing the situation, he asked that his card be sent in and "say I was the young man who first called to see her." Weak from the trying ordeal of confinement she sent out this gratifying message: "Tell Grandma Not to Worry." "I thank you and the editors of The Chicago Defender and all the people who have helped me in this sad hour of need. Tell my grandmother the child is born and not to worry any more." The reporter was informed that the baby was well and hearty and that the mother was doing fine. The baby is of a popular color and weighed six pounds and six ounces. The result of the appeal started by The Chicago Defender has opened the eyes of the entire world and called its attention to the most disgraceful scandal ever known in any county institution in this country. A mother at the tender of age of fifteen with hardly a friend in the world until this paper brought her pitiful condition before the public. Culprit to be Vigorously Prosecuted. It is more disgraceful than anything that has ever happened in the city of Chicago. The prejudiced daily newspapers have failed (outside of a mere mention, in an obscure portion of one morning newspaper) to mention or even say anything about the cowardly, dastardly, white brute who lays shivering in jail (not in the Jim Crow section, either) waiting for the law to take its course. The Defender will employ the abtest lawyers of the race, who will see that the full extent of the law is given the scoundrel suffering from the ravages of the "white plague," brought on from his inheriting the blood of his vile and degenerate parents who thrust themselves upon their enslaved female servants and sold in cold blood their own offsprings for patry sums of gold.

The T. E. Butler Club Alds Girl. Reporters from The Chicago Defender last Monday interviewed Mrs. Lou Ella Young at her home, 3252 Forest avenue, who gave pleasing information of the T. E. Butler club, of which she is president. The T. E. Butler club, having been organized as an art club, has found time to do charity work as well. Their charity work has been so nobly done the Chicago Defender would like to see more time devoted to charity than to art. Mrs. Young, the president, told a pathetic story of their first trip of last week to see Mator. "The headlines of The Chicago Defender in agonizing tones arrested our attention from the work that we had organized to do to that of helping poor little Mator McFerrin, now confined in the Cook County hospital. At once we planned to pay her a visit and to see what she was in need of. We arrived at the hospital to be told that she could be found in ward 7. There we were told by Miss Peppers, a nurse, that we had been misinformed. Miss Peppers, seeing the committee so interested in and determined to reach Mator, turned her ward over to another nurse and accompanied us to ward 14, where the unfortunate child was sent for. Little Mator Cries. "As she approached us she began to cry, thinking we had come to take her away. Miss Peppers, placing her arms about Mator, soon consolled her into knowing we were her friends. A lengthy conversation with the child revealed the story of a neglected youthful life, which gave us new inspiration to seek out and lift up the fallen. The committee told several good little stories to her about wearing apparel and nice things to eat, and asked what of them she needed. "Her reply came quickly, 'Under wear and some of those good things you ladies eat.' After reassuring Mator we would return Sunday to see her and bring what she desired, we said good-bye to the little girl, whose glowing countenance indicated she was happy in the thought of our returning. "Our next visit found Mator obviously looking for us and the decacies we had promised. After greeting her we gave to her three sets the clothing mentioned for her two sets for the prospective child. 1. be for others.

Good-bye, will love from MATOR McFERRIN. We expect to visit her again very soon, and will keep the Defender posted as to our current situation to that paper is due all the credit that can be given for the rescuing of our little friend Mator." What Mrs. Foreman Said. Mrs. Sally Foreman, 3637 Dearborn street, who is vice president of the club, was next visited. Mrs. Foreman was asked how she became interested in little Mator. Her reply was; "We knew nothing of her fate until we saw it in The Chicago Defender and we lost no time deciding to get to her. After reaching the hospital and passing through long, plain but cleanly kept corridors, we found the little neglected child, who seemed afraid of us, but soon knew we were friends to aid her. I tell you, she impressed me as being an honest, good thinking child, for when she was asked if she needed shoes she replied, 'No, I have shoes, but need underwear.' The committee insisted that she have the shoes, but to no avail. With her wants noted we left her promising to return with what she desired. "Our next visit found Mator all expectancy. She told us of the sleepless nights she had had since she saw us, and of her anxiety to have us return to her." Able Lawyers to Prosecutive Case. The Men's Protective Association met at 2830 State street Tuesday evening, Nov. 12, and elected the following officers: Paul E. Johnson, president; Arthur Barner, vice president; Edward M. Jones, secretary; Alpha Dixon, assistant secretary. The object of this association is to secure justice and equal opportunity for the race in every phase of life and to see if something cannot be done to stop the onrush of prejudice. At present the association is engaged in the prosecution of Frank Chaplin, the white married man who courageed little Mator McFerrin in the Cook County hospital. They have secured an attorney, who is making an investigation of the case. They are asking the support and co-operation of all churches, organizations and individuals. They are asking each church to appoint a committee or representative to meet and confer with them. They have received contributions from several churches and will publish names and amounts later. They especially want those who have contributed with them in order to see what they are doing with the funds. The Men's Protective Association has been endorsed by a joint session of Methodist and Baptist ministers' associations and promised their support. Their next meeting will be held at the Negro Fellowship league, 2830 State street, Tuesday evening, Nov. 19, at 8 p. m. sharp. The Volunteer Workers' Club. A reporter from The Chicago Defender visited the Volunteer Workers' club as it hosted a lavish afternoon of learning of the large donation they have made to help helpfriend Mator McFerrin. It is pleasing to the Defender the ready response to the many clubs have made. Veteran Butcher and Grocer Opens New State Street Store—Everything First-Class. Best Service. As a purveyor of the necessities of life, Mr. J. T. Pannell has long held first place. He has operated several grocery stores in this city and he is known far and wide for his square dealings. For a short time he quit dealing in groceries and meats. He concentrated his splendid business ability along other lines, but now he has come back to his first love. He calls it "The Green Front," but at 3748 State Street you will find the best stocked grocery and meat market to be found in Chicago. This store is up-to-date in every way. Many years of experience has contributed to its makeup. ```markdown ``` For instance, the stock embraces the best of everything, the shelves are filled with choice brands of everything that is eatable. In the meat section the best hams and bacon, the best cuts of beef and mutton are to be found. Pork there is in great variety. Rib chops, spare ribs, neck bones, and even the old sow's ears,肋 and feet are on sale at reasonable prices. Service has always been a hobby with Mr. Pannell, so in his new store one has to wait. There are clerks plenty. "My prices will always be low as the best goods will allow," said Mr. Pannell to a reporter. "We will call for orders and deliver them promptly. Tell the people to look for The Green Front," where butter, eggs, cheese and poultry will be a specialty. How about the weather? No matter how cold or how much snow there is on the ground, 'Pannell' will always have plenty on hand to supply his customers." -Adv. Phoenician Relics Found In Spain.

The most beautiful lodge hall in the city of Chicago on the south, known as "sky-top" is situated at the corner of 31st and State Sts., and for years was the maker for labor unions. Recently it was found out that the mortar was mixed by scabs and all union men refused to use it longer. Dr. E. S.

Advice to Alpine Climbers In the earlier part of the nineteenth century many even of those who had been up Alpine peaks themselves denounced the sport. Regarding the ascent of Mount Blanco, Murray's Handbook in the year 1838 stated that "all who have succeeded have advised no one to attempt it," and nearly 20 years later noted the "remarkable fact that a large proportion of those who have made this ascent have been persons of unsound mind."

"Yah! Yah!" he cried, and ran off. In less than two minutes he was back with a live hen. That is the best of a Malay servant, so far as my experience goes—he is always cheerful and always willing to take pains. He never seems to be sulky or out of temper. He may not know one's language, but he has the gift of sympathetic understanding, which is far more valuable in a servant than the mere faculty of talking. —London Sketch. It happened during the construction of one of Kansas City's skyscrapers. The noon whistle blew and a plasterer, working on the floor above that on which he had left his street clothes, wanted some change from his pocketbook and ordered his tender to go and get it. The tender paused. "Look hyah, Misthe Jim," he objected, "if somebody has already stole yo' money an' I comes back hyah an' tells yo' yat it' gone, yo' is gwine to say I luk it." Although struck by the seeming justice of the objection the plasterer was impatient. "What's the matter with you?" he elaculated. "Nobody has stolen my money. You go ahead, and if the money is gone I won't blame you." The tender departed, to return in a few minutes and stand just inside the dorr. "Well!" said the plasterer, pointedly. The tender shuffled his feet, wild-eyed and innocent. "It's Jes' like I tole you, boss, Jes' like I tole you." Somebody robbed no robbed "—dey wuzn't a cent in dem clothes." Ruling Passion. To the lady who had captured his heart he asserted he was a peer of the realm. And because he wore evening dress so frequently she believed he spoke the truth. But, alas! the dress he wore was but his uniform at the Restaurant de Vegetables. Twas one pleasant September evening and they sat in the park together. M'lord was tired, for, truth to tell, the day had been a trying one, and carrying plate after plate of roast mutton and boiled beef is not the lightest of tasks. He dozed. But his lady love was not to be denied. "Tell me, dear one," she whispered, "do you love me?" "Love you?" he murmured drowsily. "Course I do!" "How much?" she begged. "How much?" "How much?" he repeated. "Lemme see, sir. Roast mutton, 50 cents; potatoes, 15 cents; 65 cents, please!" —Buffalo Enquirer. Seaweed Substitute for Rubber. A substitute for hard rubber, gutta percha and leather has just been put on the market in England under the name of seagumite. It is prepared from seaweed. The properties of the new discovery are said to be that it is non-inflammable, proof against heat, cold, oil and weather; its insulation resistance increases with immersion in water; it is unaffected by dilute sulphuric acid, which makes it especially valuable for use in storage battery jars and separators. It is well adapted for motor gears, switchboard panels, switch handles, steam and gas packings and to replace leather in bedings. Bauxite powder, the chief ingredient in all cutting wheels in cut-glass factories, is found only in Russia and Virginia. The Russian beds, however, are being rapidly depleted. The wheels are made at Niagara Falls. They last only a few weeks. Spread Information of Death. In Venice, when anyone dies, it is the custom to fix a placard on the front of the deceased person's house, as well as in the neighboring streets, as a sort of public notice, stating his name, age, place of birth, and the illness of which he died.

BEST ADVICE OF ALL DESCRIPTIONS HERS TO GIVE Especially About Matrimony, Says One, Is the Married Woman Apt to Be Actuated by Her Own Experiences "I don't know what to think," said the college graduate. "It's the first admission of the kind since you got your diploma," said the old maid. "What to think about what?" asked the matron just turned thirty. Her mouth was down at the corners, and there was a wrong-for-women look in her eye. "About marrying. Dave is beginning to insist on marrying just as I am beginning to, see that I have some future ahead if I work life out by myself." "Don't hesitate a minute," said the matron just turned thirty, and brought her teeth together with a noticeable click. "What can you do, better than anything else?" "I am interested, you know, in celestial mechanics." "Then go in for it. Go in for anything that has that word celestial in it. It sounds promising. It may lend you into heaven. Marrying won't. There's no use to pretend that it will." The telephone bell rang then, and while the matron just turned thirty answered it, the other two regarded each other with looks that said that they were astonished at her and commiserative of her. Then her voice at the telephone came on to them in languid cadences: "Why, yes, I suppose I can go. Oh, yes, I suppose I want to. Really? You surprise me. From the way you rushed off this morning I should hardly have thought — Yes, but what made you forget? You have missed — Yees, I have, too. You old darling. All right, then, you will. He came. She came back from the telephone to the two who had listened in conscienceless attention. "Jim and I are going to have a little celebration tonight," she announced shamelessly. "It's our anniversary." She went out of the room then, red but radiant. "If you really want any advice about marrying," said the old maid, turning upon the college graduate, "you will have to come to us single women. You can't believe anything the married ones tell you. They are here today and there tomorrow. Their conclusions about matrimony rest upon no surer base than whether or not their husbands remembered to kiss them goodbye this morning. They haven't any perspective. It takes an old maid to be the president of a congress of mothers, and it takes one to illuminate the subject of matrimony for the young and undeclared." "Turn on your searchlight, then. Let's have the illumination." "Oh, all that it comes to is that each woman has to decide for herself," said the old maid. Strange, Indeed! Bishop Rowe, now of South Dakota, was upon a certain occasion obliged to start out afoot to reach a church in an eastern state. The August day was close and hot and the road was dusty, so that after half an hour's pedestrianism the reverend gentleman was well pleased when a man drew along in a spring wagon and offered a lift. His reverence wore no clerical garb and the state of his apparel after the tramping gave small indication of his calling. The team jogged into a deep wood. The churchman deemed the time and the place fit for the broaching of spiritual things. Accordingly he opened the subject—rather abruptly, he confesses. "Young man," he demanded solemnly, "are you prepared to die?" "Do you know," the bishop innocently explained afterward, "the fellow gave a whoop, dropped the reins, jumped off the seat, and, before I could say a word, he had gone crashing through the woods! Now, why do you suppose he did that?" In Letter Writing Lost Art? It is a well-known fact that in the present rush of life the art of letter writing is dying rapidly, especially among women. There is no time lost in long-winded sentences and needless fancy comments. The up-to-date mondaine in question expresses herself in a short, precise, crisp manner, and merely betrays her frame of mind, while corresponding, in the selection of her ink. If the lady means to show herself in an amiable, friendly mood, she chooses green ink. Yellow or orange implies that the writer is exuberantly happy. The various shades of violet demand a careful study on the part of the reader, blue predominating over red to an important extent when the writer seeks consolation. The most eccentric case of all is the use of white ink upon red paper. The latter expresses exceptional pride and energy carried to an excessive degree. How Empress Punished "The first person I saw punished in the palace at Peking was a servant girl; she had made a mistake about her majesty's socks and had brought two which were not mates. Her majesty finding that out, ordered another servant girl to slap her face ten times on each cheek. This girl did not slap hard enough so her majesty told the one who had been slapped to slap the other. I thought that was too funny for anything and wanted to laugh the worst way, but did not dare."—Two Years in the Forbidden City, by the Princess Dar Ling. Germany Makes Magnesia Floors. They are making the floors of big office buildings in Germany of a mixture of magnesium chloride, pulverized magnesia and sawdust, laid from two to four inches thick. Consul General Robert P. Skinner reports from Hamburg that such floors are water-proof, almost fireproof, crack-free, warm under foot, elastic, sound-proof and cheaper than pine flooring, tiling or stone.

This Idea Puts One Over On the South, for Even in Georgia There is No Color Line in Jail—No One Wants to Go There But Those White Prisoners Over at the County Jail Who Don't Want to Associate With Jack Johnson Had Better Stay Out of Jail. The Chicago Defender called the attention of its readers to the Jim Crow system at the county jail many months ago. This week the "Jim Crow" system has been brought to light again by the imprisonment of the world's champion—Heavyweight Champion Jack Johnson. When the champion was taken to jail the white prisoners kicked and the officials, to please them, put him in a section known to employees of the institution as the "Negro section." This most outrageous idea that we are fighting so hard south of Mason and Dixon's line is being done right here in Chicago and not a voice is raised in protest. There is a Negro section in the county jail, think of it. Raise up all ye who have one drop of Ethiopian blood in your veins, de- We have helped elect such mayors as the present Mr. Carter Harrison, and stood by Mr. Dunne during his campaign. In return let them help us to stop this latest outrage. Are the unfortunate sons of Ethiopia any worse than the sons of other races that they are obliged to be herded together like a pack of dogs in a separate section of the jail? No! Where are our many ministers? Why has this been allowed to go on? Why don't we quit giving money to help educate the foreign when we need it to fight battles right here at our very door? This outrage has got to be stopped. If a white criminal does not want to stay in the same portion of a jail with members of our race let the soundrelle out of jail. He has had thousands of years to perfect himself, while there are those of our race that have had only 50 years and some not had that. Act and act in the living present, batter down at once any resemblance of race hatred that dares to spring up in this city. A phosphorescent, sea, often visible in the tropics but rarely seen in the higher latitudes, was noted all along the New Jersey coast one night recently. The glam cast a circle of light above the water and reached far up the shore. As the breakers came in their crests broke in a shower of dull, glowing fire and the air far in shore was filled with a peculiar odor "I suppose, of course," says the fluffy creature to the captain, "that the bow of the ship is so called because it keeps bowing all the time, but why do you call one side the starboard and the other the port." "The star boarders stay on one side and the porters on the other," is the willing explanation from the officer. HON. E. H. WRIGHT. By Frank A. Young Freak of Nature She Understood. Drake, W.

Little Fred's mother, who had been giving him some training in regard to the all-powerfulness of the divinity, found him one afternoon with a dead cat, over which he was saying: "God, I said mend that cat; I've said it three times now, and I won't speak to you again." "And what is your occupation?" asked the accident insurance agent, "I'm a woodsman. During the hunting season I act as a guide." "I'm sorry, but my company won't write a policy on your class."

Demon of the Niger. The natives inhabiting the country near the source of the Niger, believe that a devil lives in the rock whence the river springs. They are very superstitious and greatly fear this devil, who is supposed to kill any person who dares to look at the source. Whenever the natives are showing a stranger the spot, they cover up their faces and walk backward in the direction of the spring, pointing toward it with outstretched hand behind the back. --- Telling the Age of a Horse Taking the Age of a Horse. The age of a horse may be judged by the appearance of the teeth because on the upper surface of the incisors a hollow is to be seen in the young tooth, which, not extending through the whole substance, naturally wears out with the wear of the tooth, and as a considerable degree of regularly occurs in the wearing away in all horses, it has been adopted as a general criterion of age. The Danger. "It may seem a trifling matter," says a writer in the Observer, "but I think that the man who wears his gloves seems to be smarter than the man who carries his gloves in his hands." Surely it is no trifling matter. One might meet the Observer writer any day, and then if one were carrying one's gloves instead of wearing them, what an outsider one would feel.—The Bystander. Frohman Knew. It was reported to Charles Frohman that one of his most prosperous male stars was in a fair way of getting married.

Licorice belongs to the pea or vetch family, and grows wild, the plant commonly reaching a height of about four feet. It is the long, straight root which is of commercial value. No means have been adopted for cutting the plant, which requires about three years to reach maturity or for improving its condition. All Settled. Here is a rather neat story of the way in which a very shy (or proud) man made a "proposal." He bought a wedding-ring, sent it to the lady (whose finger he knew by heart), and with it enclosed a sheet of notepaper with the brief question: "Does it fit? By return post he received the more laconic, though syllabically longer, reply: 'Beautifully.' Hic Only Opportunity "So Banks is trying to break his late wife's will." "Yes; poor fellow, I guess it's the first time he ever had the chance to do it."—Baltimore American. CLUBS AND SOCIETIES.

But it's plain to be seen That our good friend Deneen Is sorry they did what they done. Now that the election is over Jack Johnson is again in the limelight. The weather man has been on his best behavior lately. After all, Roosevelt and Taft didn't want another term. Ask them. The Democrats are soon going into the house cleaning business. "The Stroll" seems to be losing some of its popularity, due, perhaps, to the frequency of the police. Joe Girsch has some more wife. Oh! for some more such women. We can't find one on Dearborn street. Jack Johnson should be an evangelist if he is successful in ducking the U. S. Court uppercut. --- Another white man's baby thrown over into the ranks of the downtroden (?) race. If an ordinary Mann act can cause such a stir what would a college man act be? Turkies are commencing to roost high already. We haven't noted the price of cranberries. The way Judge Landis is handling the Mann act some people would want to believe that Mr. Mann was a bad actor when he enacted the law. Judge Landis will surely pin the black rose on his lapel, but if he does Dr. Lauron W. DeLaurence will get awfully angry. The idea of sentencing a man for life of "not labor!" We wonder if some of our State street dudes have been sentenced thus. Mr. John Arthur Johnson has not lost his golden smile and it looks like he never will, even if he goes to prison. A janitor of a bank found $55,000 in currency and returned it to the officials. We haven't learned whether they discharged him or not. Everybody can have appendicitis now without fear, since some specialist claims to be able to cure it without the use of the knife. Four months to the day after the President-elect takes his seat, every bank in the United States will be closed. Don't get excited, it will be the 4th of July. Has the U. S. grand jury stopped finding indictments against Jack --- 1990 Susan of the National Colored Democratic league in the east, has been doing things in a truly Chicago fashion. At a banquet tendered him a short time ago at one of the hotels there prominent men of both races paid him high tribute and his ability as a campaign manager has been recognized by the men higher up. When the plums begin to fall keep your eye on Thomas Wallace Swan. In a train wreck just outside of New Orleans the colored and the white passengers worked together to save their fellow men. The daily papers there went out of their way to say something nice about the colored brother. The only inference to be drawn is that they must heretofore have felt that they were not human, and when they showed that they were the editors were so astonished they had to make mention of the fact. A little more contact will bring a better understanding. There must be a dearth of marriageable girls in San angelo, Texas, judging from the following advertisement, taken from a local paper there: "Wanted, a wife; must be yellow, with straight hair; age, 35 to 45 years. Have a nice home and want a wife to take care of it. I work hard every day. William Ellis, 317 3d street." To show the young ladies of our city that The Defender is always looking out for their interest, kindly note that we give this seeker of trouble's name and address. As the magazines say, if you do take up this proposition kindly mention that you saw the ad. in The Defender. There is a general feeling of regret that Hon. Ed. Green and the other race candidates for office met with defeat. It was a Democratic landslide and they unfortunately happened to be on the wrong side. The hundreds of our people who voted the Democratic ticket would have voted for them had they not been afraid of making a mistake and thereby losing the entire ballot. The system is very puzzling and should be simplified. The race is proud of the record made by Hon. Ed. Green and the press throughout the city accord him the highest praise. Every so often some misguided prophet informs us that the world is coming to an end at such and such a date. This time it is Voliva, the overseer of the religious sect founded by John Alexander Dowie, who prophecies that the very minute that Turkey comes to her end Christ will come and the world will be no more. The statement would be laughable were it not for the fact that many feeble minded persons are influenced to dispose of their effects and, in some instances, to take their lives. Little publicity should be given this statement on that account. Had such things emanated from the superstitious element of the south it would have been attributed to ignorance and would have created no comment. Everything Jack Johnson did since childhood—that is bad—is now brought to light in a mad effort to send him to prison, and it looks as if they would succeed. The prejudiced press has poisoned the people's mind and it would be hard to get a jury who would not convict him. Ball that would have been sufficient for others in the same bont, for some reason they refuse to accept. This paper has never discussed the fact of whether he was innocent or guilty. We have counts to decide that. But we do stand for fair play and justice and believe that prejudice should cut no figure in the case whatever. What is meted out to Johnson should be meted out to others who are engaged in the same business. It is pleasing to note that a number of the labor unions are beginning to realize that they must admit the Negro workman if they hope to preserve their unions. This striking and finding their places permanently filled by the dark brother is getting serious. Both must work and both must work to live; the color of the skin doesn't matter. If he were permitted to join the unions, to share in their fortunes, be they good or bad, he would stick. We have artisans of all kinds, capable of doing anything that anyone else can, and when an employer, even though he be forced by circumstances, gives him a chance, he generally makes good. Let every man apply and keep applying for admission to the unions until the bars are let down, and when strikes do come, as come they will, the unions will have no one to blame but themselves if their places are filled by the men they exclude. It has always been an understood fact that a policeman was the servant of the people; at least that is what we pay him for. But how many of you who have had dealings with them can testify to the contrary. If you stop and ask one of the brassbuttoned gentlemen a civil question, ten to one he gives you the wrong answer; that is, if he heigns to answer at all. In Philadelphia a policeman was handling a colored woman very roughly when two prominent physicians who chanced to be passing remonstrated. Without giving them any warning the officer whipped out his revolver and shot one badly enough to be taken to the hospital; the other escaped. Had they been interfering or trying to take the prisoner from the officer it would have been a different matter. It is well to cloth the officers in authority, but it is also well for them to know that the private citizen has some rights that should be respected. THANKSGIVING. All matter for our issue of November 30th must be in the office by Wednesday, Nov. 27th, as the Chicago Defender office will be closed all day Thursday, Nov. 28th (Thanksgiving Day). Jane C. Clau02. N. met v. 6 at the home of Mrs. Flowers. There was a large, attendance, in spite of the inclement weather. Plans were made for a novelty party, which will take place Nov. 21 at the home of the President, Mrs. H. S. Claybrook, 5520 Ingleside side. THE GAUDEAMUS CHARITY CLUB The Gaudeamus Charity club met Nov. 11 at the home of Mrs. Gertrude Plummer. The visitors present were: Mrs. Mae Strother, Mrs. Minnie Rucker, Mrs. Edna Mitchell and Mr. W. C. Ball, the Defender's representative. The next meeting will be held Nov. 18 at Mrs. Aline E. Roberts, 4101 Dearborn street, first flat. THE EDITOR'S MAIL JUSTICE FOR JACK JOHNSON. Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 12—Editor Chicago Defender: It is high time the race throughout the United States should raise their voices in unison and protest the treatment that is accorded Jack Johnson. He is not the worst person on earth. The very idea of the best thinking people of the race holding "indignation meetings" to denounce Johnson as a member of the race! He represents the race more nearly than the so-called self-respectful ones. When will this race ever learn the adage, "Together we stand, divided we fall." The Bohemians did not denounce Schrank when he attempted to assassinate a prominent public man. Instead they claim him to be insane. Has Johnson committed an offense as great or terrible as that? We, as a race, are too ready to believe what the other race says about us. They hold up our small crimes to hide their greater ones. Then we, poor foolish mortals, coincide with them. How long will it be before we realize that we are our greatest enemy and will always be such as long as we allow others to keep us apart? Had it not been for The Chicago Defender we people of Milwaukee never would have known of the McFerrin-Cameronain, because it was not heralded broadcast as the Johnson-Cameron case. Why doesn't the club that called an investigation committee for Mr. Johnson adopt "resolution" to be sent to the local and associated press asking for publicity of the colored girl's case that they gave the white girl? Why not show race loyalty now? I have done as much but I doubt the publication, because it was as an individual. Yours for justice, LUNA M. SCOTT. From Our Exchanges REV. JENIFER IN ARKANSAS. Dr. J. T. Jenifer of Chicago is a noted visitor in our city. Dr. Jenifer is one of the best known leaders of the A. M. E. connection and is historian of the general conference. His visit to this section had to do with his duties in this line. Dr. Jenifer will preach at Visitors' chapel next Sunday morning. The general public should hear this noted man—The Arkansas Review. PUSH THE PRESS ASSOCIATION. Now that the turnoff of the campaign is over, the Negro newspapers are in a position to take up in serious fashion the important matter of cooperating with the National Negro Press Association which held a successful meeting recently in Chicago. The association idea is a good one and all of us should assist in pushing it along. We have enrolled our name and will give it our most loyal support. The promoters are able and conscientious young men, and their efforts to bring the press and the people closer together should have the encouragement of every member of the craft. This is a time for sympathetic co-operation—not captious criticism. —The Cambridge (Mass.) Advocate. TO BUY PARK AND BATHING BEACH. Luna park is to pass from the control of the Thompson & Snow Amusement Company into the hands of Mr. W. H. Washington of 1607 Totberman street, a wealthy Negro, if the negotiations now under way are completed. The management will cater especially to Negro patronage. The price to be paid by Mr. Washington is $70,000, and the property will be turned over to him in thirty days. He will form a company, it is said, with members of his own race as stockholders. According to Mr. Washington, Luna park will fill a long felt want for the Negroes² of Southern California, affording them a place where they can gather for plenics and celebrations. If present plans are carried out an inland bathing beach for 1,000 persons, an indoor plunge, medicinal baths and picnic grounds will be fitted up—Los Angeles Herald. [Early this week Mr. Washington bought the property. Ed.] APPOINTED BAILIFF. Mr. Olie V. Gregory has been appointed a bailiff of the Common Pleas Court in Springfield, Ohio, by Judge A. H. Kunkle. He was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the recent death of George H. Bulley. Mr. Gregory has assumed his new duties. He will also act as law librarian and custodian of the court house.—Ex. By Waldo L. Batson. Telling our troubles is a popular way of soliciting pity. It is great to be loved by a woman Many a woman who says, she wouldn't marry, wouldn't say so if she could. How men and women do lie when they are in love! A woman's shoe often comes untidled when she wants to see her lover act a fool. A rich man has food but no appetite, a poor man has an appetite but no food. Which would you rather be? When you see a drunken man headed towards home, he is about twenty-three or twenty-four hours late. The road to perfection is crowded where it starts. The greatest injury you can do to some men is to treat them as they want to be treated. The devil has changed the hearts of more church members than their religion. Their Honeymoon. A newly married couple living in Fulton took their honeymoon on a motor cycle. This department is not qualified to testify as an expert in the matter of honeymoons, but, believe us, motor cycling doesn't appeal to us as a start toward connubial bliss. Some folks may call it exercise, but it looks more to us like sitting in a dart—Kansas City Times. Always an Anti-Cilmax: It is always reassuring to read of some millionaire's son who, dressed in overalls, has taken up some hard, grimy job at a few dollars a week, just as a poor farmer's or mechanic's son might do. But his election, in a few weeks, to the directorship or vice presidency of his father's business shows a growth that boys of more humble parentage can hardly hope to equal.—Christian Science Monitor. Know More About Electricity, During ten years the output of the electric generating plants has nearly trebled, but the number of accidents has remained the same. An increase would be naturally looked for, but this seems to indicate that many of the accidents of the earlier years were due to ignorance or carelessness, which is now avoided by a greater knowledge of the use of electricity and electrical machinery. Herolam In Everyday Life "Not in clanging fights and desperate marches only is heroism to be looked for, but on every railway bridge and fireproof building that is going up today. On freight trains, on the decks of vessels, in cattle yards, on lumber rafts, among the firemen and the policemen, the demand for courage is incessant, and the supply never fails."—William James. What Made Him Resigned. A tourist from the east, visiting an old prospector in his lonely cabin in the hills, commented: "And yet you seem to cheerful and happy." "Yes," replied the one of the pick and shovel. "I spent a week in Boston once, and no matter what happens to me, I've been cheerful ever since." Really Good Idea. A new patent that will interest men who would like to discard suspenders, but are not partial to tight belts, is a shirt with "a plurality of lapeps" which are designed to be attached to the trousers for their support. The trousers being thus held up, suspenders may be dispensed with and belts worn comfortably loose. Live Day by Day. What the world needs is more day-to-day living; starting in the morning with fresh, clear ideas for that day, and seeking to live that day, and each successive hour and moment of that day, as if it were all time and all eternity. Each day is then set in harmony with the future. It is like the sea captain heading his vessel toward his port of destination, and day by day keeping her steaming toward it—William George Jordan. Mother Warned In Time. An unusual occurrence took place at Notglove, Gloucestershire, England, recently. A boy of two and a girl of three were playing beside a large trough, when the boy fell into the water. The little girl ran to the boy's mother and in lisping tones said, "Babby in water." The mother ran to the trough, took the boy out, and with assistance, brought him round. Had No Time. "Why doesn't Jabez Jones go to work and get prosperous?" "Because," replied the loyal friend, "he's a patriot who never neglects his duty as a citizen. He has been a member of the petit jury three times, a member of the grand jury twice, a delegate to four conventions and has gone unresting to the legislature frequently. What time has he to himself?" Most Costly Porschein Services Most costly Porcelain Service. At an exhibition of works of art held in St. Petersburg was a set of porcelain dishes which is considered the most costly in the world. It consists of 36 hand-colored plates. This set has an estimated value of 36,000 rubles ($18,540), a single plate, therefore, being worth 1,000 rubles ($515). It is the property of Count Orloff-Dadivoff. Matter of : dentallty.

WELLS-BARNETT. else, that a surgeon tempted to operate upon him, appendicitis retails to Dr. Reclus four instutes where surger actually did sat ed in performin operations upon themselves. He recounts them in the Lancet, and the following appears in the Medical Record: "Paul Reclus" has commented on the courage and stolstic necessary for the act of what he calls 'autotomy,' or surgical operation upon one's own body. He has described at some length four examples of this heroic procedure. The first story is that of a French surgeon who, having acquired a small outgrowing tuberculoma of the right index finger following an operation wound, determined to excise it under cocaine anesthesia. This he did, surrounded by his class, in a curiously unsurgical way, by fixing the instrument—first a scalpel, then a sharp spoon—in the left hand and performing all the necessary movements with the diseased right hand. In spite of this novel technique, the result was quite satisfactory. His only discomfort was a little nausea at the unpleasant sensation of scraping his own periosteum; this was, however, corrected by a sip of hot coffee. "In the second case the surgeon operated on himself for bilateral ingrowing toe-nail, apparently without pain and with absolutely satisfactory result. The hero of the third story was a Turkish military surgeon attached to Professor Reclus' own clinic, who was operated on for double inguinal hernia under local anesthesia with such complete success that he determined to remove for himself a troublesome affection. The procedure was painless and the result perfect. "The fourth 'autotomy' was performed by M. Regnault, a naval medical officer, who was led to undertake a radical cure of his own hernin. He anesthetized the area of operation by injecting cocaine into the several layers of tissue concerned, after a preliminary injection of morphine into the subcutaneous tissues of the thorax. He guarded himself from disaster by enlisting the help of two colleagues, who stood by prepared for action in case they were needed. However, all went well, and there was neither pain nor mishap." ```markdown ``` Truth and Error Verily, there is nothing so true that the damps of error have not warped it. Verily, there is nothing so false that a sparkle of truth is not in it. For the enemy, the father of lies, the giant Ups of creation, can but pervert the good, but may not create the evil. He destroyth, but cannot build; for he is not an antagonistic delity. Mighty in his stolen power, yet is he a creature and a subject; not a maker of abstract wrong, but a spoiler of concrete right. The flend hath not a royal crown; he is but a prowling robber, suffered for some mysterious end to haunt the king's highway. And the keen sword he hears once was a simple plowshare. His panoply of error is but a distortion of the truth. The sickle that once reaped righteousness, beaten from its useful curve, with ax, and spike, and bar, headeth the marauder's halbert. Seek not further, O man, to solve the dark riddle of sin; suffice it that thine own bad heart is to thee three origin of evil.—Martin Fuarhau Tupper. New Idea for Stereoscop New ideas for Stereoscopes. The old-time stereoscopie, the friend of our childhood days, is promised a return and a somewhat new guise. The old-time device has been hitched to the latest phase of the photographic art and it may be but a short time before the modernized stereoscopie will be seen in the parlor and sitting rooms of every home as it was once before. The moving picture machine has been made available for domestic purposes. It is no longer limited to the auditorium and the hall, but a new camera, small, compact, and easily operated and not expensive, places the facility for making these pictures within the reach of the amateur. With the knowledge acquired with a little practice one may make pictures which will catch the merry twinkle of the eye, the fleeting light of baby's dimple and the little individualities which are lost in the fussiness of the studio pose. House Boss In Egypt. Old Mr. Egyptian carried a stick or a small club about the house with him and laid it upon his women like a thousand of brick whenever they disobeyed or displeased him. In the graves the mummies show that nearly every woman had a forearm fracture. When Mr. Egyptian came home in a bad humor he would sail into her with a stiff stick, and as the arm was thrown to protect the face it was generally broken while warding off the blow. Woman's Sense of Honor On this point women are still not entirely in agreement. "Sense of honor?" said one young woman to whom the question was brought up; "Women's sense of honor? They haven't any." On the other hand, an older lady—one who is well through long and sweet living—answered. "Sense of honor? Of course women have it—as high as any man's." Only—I should want to choose my woman." Where, then, does the truth lie?—Atlantic. "Pay at You Enter." A thrifty husband and wife at Harrisburg have been attending different church on Sundays, each giving a nickel.

ZION CHURCH. The church services on last Sunday showed the same spirit of interest that has been characterizing them for some time. The morning and evening service were both well attended and the collections were up to the usual standing. The entertainment given by Mr. W. J. Burdine on Monday night in the interest of the rally was well patronized, also the Japanese school exhibition on Tuesday evening by Mrs. Nannie Collins as well as the Masonic sermon on Wednesday evening and the forty years of freedom on Thursday by Medames Dorssey and Mccaddin. Our rally will o our car on the 24th. We are expecting all members and friends to go on record that day as doing their best financially. Preparations are being made for the most extensive Thanksgiving services and dinner that this church has ever had. Our Sunday services will be as usual. The pastor will preach morning and evening. ... WAYMAN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH. A large audience was at both services Sunday. The pastor preached on "False Prophets" at 11 a. m. and 7:45 p. m. Many historical facts were presented in proof of the arguments. The sermon produced a profound effect on the people. Another phase of the subject will be discussed Sunday, Nov. 17. Wayman Chapel is to become the center of a great movement on the North Side and these sermons are to strike at some of the existing evils which are now destroying the young men and women of the race. Mrs. Matilda Boyd and Mrs. Julia Winn very successfully presented the children in "Cinderella" and "The Wedding of the Prince" last Monday night. Miss Marie has been in charge of the plano the last two Sunday nights and has given excellent service. The pastor preached the funeral sermon of Perry Robinson who lost his life by accident last Monday at his residence. --- A large number of strangers attended the service Monday night. Don't forget the fourth Sunday afternoon of this month at which time the morning chair will give the second of a series of "Pleasant Sunday Afternoons." Those who attended the last program know what to expect and a full house is anticipated. The feature numbers will be a tenor solo by Mr. W. E. Gossett, organist of Ebenezer A. M. E. church, Evanston, and director of the Choral Study Club, Chicago; Mr. Todd, barrion solo; Mr. Owmby, tenor solo, and several other excellent numbers including a solo by Mrs. Elnora Carter. OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH. The Olivet Sunday school has long been a center for Sabbath day worship. It is indeed a school and a Bible school. Following pedagogical principals the best teaching material in the church is found in the primary department, with Mrs. Allie Taylor as leader. With her trained co-workers the little people are instructed in the fundamentals of Christianity indelibly written on each soul through song, verse and story. That the larger pupils are provided with a teacher who is both instructor and friend is seen by the women presiding over the girls and the gentlemen over the boys' classes. By this arrangement the young people never lack a true friend in time of need. The adult classes remain loyal to their teachers unwilling to be transferred to another should their teacher be absent. The pastor's class is composed of substitute teachers receiving such work as will prepare them for future service. Dr. Fisher was relieved during the summer with the assistance of Mr. Latson of Atlanta. To meet the demand for wider instruction the young men organized a class with Mr. William Terrell as teacher, this class retiring to the auditorium after the opening exercises. The superintendent, Mr. Taylor, devotes considerable time to the music with Miss Mattie Fisher as pianist, her rendition of sacred music being most soul inspiring, with chorister Fields leading. This school has extended its work in several parts of the city with Branch No. 1 at 45th street and Armour avenue, Mr. R. R. Lowe in charge; Branch No. 2 at 567 East 51st street, Mr. Newland presiding. The earnestness of the workers proves the necessity of such means of taking the gospel to those who would otherwise not receive it. The spirit of the church is carried with the workers "and it certainly did look like Olivet to see the members engaged in the field." LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGA TIONAL CHURCH. (6359 Rhodes Ave.) he memorial last d evening was awrence, moved if the occasion. . Luke 12: 47-48. **subject:** hedge, the Basis of Rewards and abilities." He said in part: "basis of emphasis in every sphere of human interests is constantly shifting, that of religion and ethics负 no exception. Fifty years ago the spirit and teachings of theology and coral philosophy was that God is judge, and as such his rewards and leniences are swift and sure. Then the lament of fear was the dominant one: "Irring this earlier period God was according to man's conception a stern anexacting judge, and as such they fead him. "But man's conception of God has charged in proportion as his relations REV. EUGENE C. LAWRENCE with his fellowman have been modified for the better. Accordingly, as man understands, God has become less of a stern and exacting judge, and more of a loving heavenly Father. "With the modification of man's conception of God has also come a change in his notion as to the basis of God's judgment. The old teaching was that God held man rigidly under arbitrary laws and that every character had to have the stamp of exactly the same mold; now the emphasis is more in harmony with the spirit and teachings of the text of the morning, according to thy light and the opportunities afforded you to have that light increased, shalt thou be judged. "But there is no excuse made here for the man who had the chance to know, and would not try to find out. The phrase 'ignorance is bliss' does not of itself justify man, either in the sight of God or his fellows. "The question then that the parents put to the child and the government to its citizen is not merely whether or not he knew better, but if not, why not? "But God is not critically watching an opportunity to punish his children; if so, He would keep some of us in the lock-up pretty near all the time. He is not a fierce monster, but a loving Father. "Every age has its own standard, and each class and individual of the class has its or his own peculiar standard by according which judgment is to be meter out. "Therefore in the service rendered to the church and the community, no one of us should adopt another's standard, for no two of us are in exactly the same circumstances; hence let each man accordingly as God has prospered him give of his time, money and personal service. And the measure in which these are given only you and God are to judge. "Some well meaning people give and serve for the church and the community, and finally when they find that others are not shouldering their responsibilities in equal proportion they say: Well, I will stop pull my neighbor begins to do his duty in the matter; I will sit down and rest a while and when my neighbor wakes up and assumes his share of the load, I'll start out again. "Such a course is wrong. Duty is not measured in that way, our service in the home, in the church, or in the larger social community, is not to be measured by the yard, nor by dollars and cents, but upon the basis of personal ability and efficiency. "I know some of you are saying, well, but I like to see the other fellow at it, too; I feel better when I see him carrying his share of the load. Well, so do I, but should the work of the church, the social and moral, uplift of the community be abandoned because one or two members thereof fail to respond? "In the moral and spiritual work of the world don't measure yourselves with the weaklings. Don't let the physically disabled and the mentally weak lead you in this higher and more valuable work of the kingdom. "Every man who has come to full self consciousness will do his best, because he is ambitious for the highest reward. "Peace and a good conscience are the richest rewards that the Christian religion can bring to any individual. For lack of this peace and good conscience many men and women are dying on their feet daily. Sometimes the sense of man's wretchedness preys upon him in such a manner that he decides that he will have it ended once for all; he turns a revolver to his head or leaps from a skyscraper to his death. The young woman denied this peace seeks the lake, or, locking herself in her room, turns on the gas and lies down to worry no more. "When one performs a good act he takes pride in it, and it makes him a better man. The word reward implies service, and no individual can rightfully expect a reward unless he has rendered some kind of service. 'He that sowth to the spirit, shall of the spirit reap life everlasting; and he that sowth to the flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption.' God always takes into account the knowledge and ability of the workman. The more intelligent and refined 't' man, the more nature exacts, the 're' his fel iture calls the savage from h. seek his food; the slave is free from his shanty to fill his master's barn and increase his treasure; but the free man goes or stays as he chooses; not even does God exercise any arbitrary power over him; he is at liberty to do right or wrong as he pleases. "Being free, we are no longer moved by fear but by love; no longer, like the beast of burden, driven to our tasks, nor yet like the mercenary soldier pricked into battle, but like true patriots we freely lay nor lives upon the altar. We are Christians then, not because we fear the consequence of sin, but because we love the present rewards of virtue; we are Christians not because we fear hell, but because we love heaven." Morning service tomorrow; subject, "Despair Routed, Hope Enthroned." Text; Luke 10:23-24. Grace Presbyterian Church The concert Tuesday evening, Nov. 12, by the "ensemble performers of the piano," under the direction of Prof. B. Emmanuel Johnson, with the assistance of Mr. Chas. Eligals Symphony orchestra, Miss Violet Galloway, Mrs. R. Leon Lillard and Mrs. Nellie W. Gray, sopranos, Mr. Frank Lowry and Junius H. Sayre, readers, was a success in every respect, for in spite of the inclement weather there was a large attendance and each number of the program was well rendered and thoroughly enjoyable. There will be a special program next Sunday at the hour of evening service. All are invited to be present. There will be special music by the choir. Temperance day was observed in the Sunday school Sunday, Nov. 10. Remember the Thanksgiving rally, Nov. 24. There will be special music. The teachers and officers of the Sunday school held their regular monthly meeting at the home of Miss M. Barnes, 4544 Evans avenue, Thursday evening, Nov. 14. The Institutional Church Dr. Carey preached an interesting and highly edifying sermon Sunday morning upon "Man's Divinity". A large and appreciative audience was in attendance. In the afternoon eight hundred persons were present to join with the Choral Study Club in doing tribute to the memory of the late Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. The program was highly pleasing. The music was rich, and the address of Dr. C. E. Bentley was worthy a place in "The World's Best Literature." At the evening service fully 1,200 people gathered. The floor and galleries were filled, and none were disappointed. Mr. I. N. Dunlap, musical director, has arranged special music and the choir and soloists sang entrancingly sweet. Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch, the greatest living American Hebrew, delivered an address that will long live in the hearts of his hearers. He dealt with problems racial, religious, social and political. He showed the great strength of the Hebrew race to consist in its worship of its own gods, and advised the Negroes to follow the Hebrew example. He pointed out the dangers to any minority people in the direct primary, the initiative and the referendum. He declared that the $50,000 Jewish synagogue of which he is the "Rabbi" has become an "Institutional synagogue" and that it owes its inspirational to the Institutional A. M. E. church in which he was then speaking. Dr. D. P. Roberts and Rev. J. L. Wharton of Buxton addressed the members of Company B (Mrs. C. L. Burgess, captain) on Wednesday evening. Owing to the inclement weather the congregation was not so large as expected and Dr. Roberts assured Mrs. Burgess that he would come on Thursday evening, Nov. 21, and "bring Bethel with him." Remember the evening, Thursday, Nov. 21. Bethel's choir will sing and Bethel's pastor will preach. It will be Bethel's night at the Institutional. Thanksgiving Day will be duly observed with appropriate exercises. Dr. Cory, the pastor, will preach a special sermon at 11 o'clock. The president's Thanksgiving proclamation will be read by Miss Myrtle Morgan and the governor's by Miss Grace Broodice, Dinner will be served from 12:30 till eight. THE Y. M. C. A. HEADQUARTERS. Father J. B. Massiah, rector St. Thomas Episcopal church, brought a very practical message to the men attending the Y. M. C. A. meeting at the Old Fellows hall on last Sunday afternoon. The speaker addressed the meeting after one of the praise services of song and prayer were held. He was greatly impressed with the earnestness of the men and spoke as a father would to his son in telling them of the great benefits to be derived from prayer and the great necessity for our using it often. Every man who was present felt that he had a better knowledge of prayer after listening to the words of wisdom from the worthy divine. The secretary of the department in writing to the editor of the Y. M. C. A. Bulletin, the official organ of Chicago Association, writes thus: "Work on the Wabash Avenue Department is progressing rapidly. The people are proud of the new plant and inquiries are constantly being made as to when the building will be finished. There is reason to believe that the building will be ready for occupancy next spring. The executive committee, together with the collecting committee, are now making strenuous efforts to get the unpaid subscriptions in. New accounts are being paid every day and the people are arranging to pay their subscriptions in small amounts. The outlook is exceedingly bright." Rev. N. K. Clarkson, superintendent of the Midnight Missionary Asso- in even work expecting to receive a ag because of his comonal work committee observing the week of ver which is being held by all of the associations throughout the world and the meeting on Sunday is the closing of the week. A praise and prayer service will be held immediately before the speaking. Mr. Wm. J. Parker, business manager of the young Men's Association of Chicago, was a visitor at headquarters and the meeting on last Sunday. Mr. Parker and Tucker held a conference in connection with the work that is soon to start in our new building. You can't afford to miss any of the Y. M. C. a meetings' that are being held on Sunday afternoons at the Odd Fellows hall. All of the meetings are well attended and some of the best speakers of the country will speak from our rostrum. Each meeting is a meeting where a special message is given to men by men. Our meetings are growing in importance and interest. Mr. Smith Damron of the Redpath Lyceum Bureau will give one of his illustrated lectures on Sunday, Nov. 24, at the Odd Fellows hall. Mr. Smith illustrates his lecture by modeling in clay. He will speak on "Christ, the Master Potter." The best audiences of the country are seeking this lecturer who will appear before our men free. DECLARES JESUS WAS Notable Bible Authority to Lecture on the Color of the Son of God, Solomon and Moses—The Persecution of Jack Johnson. Elder J. M. Webb, the evangelist of Seattle, Wash., is preparing to give a series of lectures on inter-marrying; that Moses married a black woman; that Solomon married a black woman, and, above all, that Jesus was a black man by blood and hair; that Elder J. M. Webb. is to say, that the blood of the black man coursed through his veins and that his hair was woolly. Books will be on sale giving biblical references of the same. Elder Webb is also preparing a Black Jesus in a picture form, which he calls a "Biblical Jesus." He intends to put this kind of picture of Jesus on the market for sale, especially for the Christian times, and he says let the white people have their white Jesus, which is a false one according to Biblical history. Elder Webb will also lecture on "Champion Jack Johnson and His Troubles," showing that the Champion is being "persecuted" instead of "prosecuted," and will also show that the Champion is as good in the eyes of God as those white ministers who said he was a "beast." Elder Webb's temporary address is 8545 Prairie avenue, Chicago; telephone Douglas 1659—Adv. Plenty of Evidence "I wound," said Slithers, stopping his car at the roadside and addressing an old man working in the fields, "if I can get any gasoline around here?" "I reckon ye kin," replied the old man, straightening up and leaning on his hoe. "Ye kin get it in yer system, anyhow. They cars ahead o' ye seems to have left a few ton of it behind 'em, jedgin' by the condition of the atmosphere." -Judge. Always on the job The soil geese are so fond of collecting materials for their nests that they do not desist from the habit even when they are about to abandon their nests for the winter migration. Off the coast of Scotland one day patches of straw bedding were seen floating, and although the birds were on the eve of departure they gathered up every wisp as though they had their nests to build, and in the same place they were seen collecting seaweed every day. Just Like Other Men. Most surgeons simply go way up in the air when one of the world's great ones is stricken.

One Chance for Him A bishop in the Church of England had in his family a domestic—a woman—a strict Roman Catholic, who was always talking about the impossibility of heretics getting to heaven. "Why," said the minister, "do you think, Mary, that I will not get to heaven?" "Well," said she, "if you do, it will be on account of your inconservable ignorance." By IDA ALEX with the other fighters. Why he had done so he hardly knew. The pay he was not large and the risk was. He had been almost corrupted again, and again. At times, escape had seemed impossible, but he had raced his way to safety, while his blistered foot and smoke-clogged lungs protested. But he had always wont out. Now he had disanced the fire once again, and lay stretched in the shade, genuinely weary, sincerely stick of it all. "Let the owners fight," he said, half aloud, "Later on they'll run me out from the shade of the very trees I help to save. Iain 'ain't goin' back." The resolution had come suddenly. He had fully intended to return after snatching an hour or so of well-rearned rest. It was in the early forenoon that he had laid down. It seemed hours before his tired eyes closed, and but a moment before he was rudely awakened. Men were pulling at him; men were shouting in his ear. The words at last penetrated drowsily into his mind. "Get up, Bill. Get up for God's sake. It's comin' this way." He sat up at last, sulkily and half awake. "I don't give a—" The faces of the men were blackened and bleeding. "Jens an Bert's lost," said one. "Well, I didn't find 'em," said the tramp. "God, find them!" said the other, reverently. "They've burned to death." He heard the news callously. There had been so many that the shock was quite gone from the tale. It was only when enacted before the eye, in all its grewsome details, that it had power even partially shock. He settled back again. "ain't goin to get up." The men stood ready to go. The man half turned, but paused. "Bill once more, will ye come?" It wasn't now for a place where there's little children—little children, mind ye, without any idea what danger means. Bill raised his lank figure till he stood an inch above the others. "I'll come," he said. Backward now they turned with the quick step of men who knew that time meant life. All trace of listlessness had vanished from Bill's face and figure. He was the alert fire-fighter, untiring, unafraid. All day they fought, each with the courage and the strength of ten. It was night before they acknowledged that their efforts had been without avail. -Bill threw down his ax, and pointed his lean finger. "Some one ought to 'to em', he said. And then, as no one would go," he said. It was trackless way through the forest and thick underbrush, but Bill raced on, hurried by the roaring of the fire, handicapped by his weariness, harried by the fear that he might not be in time. The people of the village were awake, clustered around in groups, watching the light that hung like a menace in the sky. There were no men among them. The men were awake, battling with the danger that threatened their homes. So it fell to Bill to prepare and urge forward the hurried flight. It was he who remembered everything—meat and drink, warm clothes for the wide-eyed children. He harnessed and made ready. "Throw out everything, if you don't makin' a good get-away," he cautioned, then gave the word, and the heavily laden teams moved off. "You! You! You ain't comin'?" the women shilled back to him. "After a bit. You're loaded enough. I'll be along 'fore long." Already the flames were sending forth their spiring sparks. Presently the enemy would throw caution to the winds, and advance upon him. "Any other place could 'a' burned and been darned 'fore I'd a' done it. But this! I couldn't never forget that little shavor as wanted to gi' me his blood, and had to do it." And Bill, firefighter and trustee, comfortably back, with his eyes on the approaching fire, and the strange smile, still shadowing his mouth with a beauty that would have made his mother glad. History of the Gun Since the introduction of gunpowder as a propeller and the general use of firearms in warfare and hunting, has been a more or less insistent demand for mechanisms that would give the soldier or hunter a number of shots at his command without reloading, and enable them to be rapidly discharged. The first patent for a firearm of this description seems to have been issued by the British patent of 1830, to James Puckle, a citizen of London, who gun mounted upon a tripod, having a gun behind and a revolving cylinder. Strangely enough, one of the claims set forth in this patent appears almost verbatim, 130 years later, in a patent taken out by Rollin White, an American inventor of a revolving pistol. Another curious claim of the patent was; "The mechanism permits the use of square bullets against the Turk and round bullets against Christians; moreover, so great is the raidicity of fire, that ships armed with the gun cannot be boarded by an attacking force." -S. J. Fort in the Outing Magazine. Freak of Nature A phosphorescent sea, often visible in the tropics but rarely seen in the higher latitudes, was noted all along the New Jersey coast one night recently. The gleam cast a circle of light above the water and reached far up the shore. As the breakers came in their crests broke in a shower of dull, glowing fire and the air far in shore was filled with a peculiar odor. Use of Poetry. We believe that poetry, far from injuring society, is one of the great instruments of its refinement and exaltation. It lifts the mind above ordinary life, gives it a respite from depressing cares and awakens the consciousness of its affinity with what is pure and noble.-Channing # pus-Loy. monster of the D Reported Captured Alive by Fishermen of Messina. Fishermen of Messina. According to the Messina correspondent of the Courriere di Milan, the inevitable sea serpent has at last been captured alive by fishermen while it was heading along the shore in the wake of an English yacht. The correspondent, however, has not personally seen the monster, although he states that he is on his way up the coast to do so. Meanwhile, he makes the facetious remark that from the detailed descriptions which he has received English tourists in Italy may favor the view that it may possibly be Sir Rir Haggard's East Anglian sea serpent taking a holiday in a warmer clime. These details proclaim that the terrified fiskerkolf at Tremestier found the monster caught in their nets one morning, and after infinite trouble succeeded in landing him. "This enormous and horrible denizen of the deep weighs, it is estimated, about 600 pounds, has a prominent back, measures nine feet eight inches across the body, which is taller than a man, and terminates in a tail of even greater length, which is long and curled up like that of a pig." Its average thickness is about twenty inches, its head seems to be formed of two huge earlike fins set some four inches aptr, in the midst of which are its eyes. It has a rectangular mouth four inches wide, while along under its body are half a dozen apertures evidently used for breathing purposes. The skin is said to be fine and soft, and the color of that of human beings, "although marked here and there by molelike spots." The Messina correspondent seriously adds that a number of scientific experts have hurried to the spot and are absolutely dumbfounded and quite unable to classify the creature, which is kept alive in a small inlet on the beach of Tremestieri by the entrance being staked off. Shall Women Be Parasites? Shar Women Be Parasite? If women remain at home, dependent on their male relatives, they become parasitic, according to the testimony of both England and America. If they leave the home they lose the enormous influence they now possess in consequence of their monopoly of the care of children. In America there is frequent suggestion that the solution of the difficulty may lie in elevating the status of domestic service so as to make it attractive to college-trained women of the same social rank as the employer. The solution does not seem to appeal to English women strongly. A writer in the Englishwoman says: "We ourselves are hopeful that a gradual adjustment of convention and public opinion may bring about the real liberty of women, whether wives or daughters, in their husbands' or fathers' house, and that the college woman may find it as pleasant and profitable to care for her own children as for her neighbors." And, indeed, it may be doubted if any American woman wouldn't prefer taking care of her own children to taking care of her neighbors', other things such as economic independence, being equal. Senator Heyburn's Wit Senator Heyburn was half admired, half heartily disliked by the newspaper correspondents, for whom, in return, he had, collectively speaking, little use. He watched the press carefully, and often he would rise in his seat to denounce a reporter who had quoted him inaccurately. He was, however, "good copy," as the phrase goes, because he was often brilliant and witty in his speeches and in his frequent flirts with colleagues. On a dull day at the last session, for example, Senator Heyburn was making a prolonged address on a matter of little immediate interest. It was close in the senate chamber, and the correspondents withdrew to a cooler spot. Noticing their absence, Heyburn raised his voice so that it might carry into the farthest corners of the telegraph room, and said: "I make the point of no quorum in the press gallery!" The correspondents returned and he resumed his speech—Boston Transcript, America In English Eyes America—Discovered by Christopher Columbus. Since exploited by English peers. There are several lines of railway running in different directions. All are dangerous. English is understood, especially when spoken with an Irish accent. The principal industries are patent medicines, politics and the manufacture of moving picture films. The chief social diversions are interviewing distinguished foreigners, lynching bees and visits to Europe. The customs regulations are strict—diamonds are subject to a heavy duty. Anarchists and known murderers are excluded. It is proposed to add cornet players to the list. Emigrants intending to settle in Texas are advised to go elsewhere—From "Hints to Emigrants," in Vanity Fair. For Psychical Research One of the most remarkable London clubs is the International Club of Psychical Research, in Regent street. It has no concern with merely earthly things. Although the club has only been founded a few months, it has already over 500 members. Every possible 'list' is represented. There are the theosophists, spiritists, phrenologists, psychologists, spiritualists, mesmerists, and so on. Peculiar Inscription Not many years ago, in the Temple Court, London, was a sun dial with the motto: "Be gone about your business." This unusual inscription arose from the "builder's man" calling to receive orders about it, when the bencher in charge was so busy that he did not listen, but said: "Be gone about your business," which the man took as his answer and forthwith engraved. Pretty Well Settled Now A Boston jurist has decided that a husband is justified in resisting a wife's attempts to go through his pockets. As there was a previous decision to the contrary, it is now up to the higher tribunal—and the wives. "I still insist," was doing the t quite within my however, is in them the vicite I fatally ruined my att good breeding. I secretly think it believes me now beyond the pale is still at the point where he spu whenever I allude to the subject! "Of course, I would not go around looking into people's windows in town. When a person builds a house in town you know it's his castle and you haven't any right on the premises without an invitation, but when he builds one in the country it is a positive bid for inspection! "Why, a new red barn is a subject for dinner table conversation for miles around in the country and a house is a positive godsend, because everybody can explain at length why he doesn't like it. "The Suttons began building their house out near the golf links early in the spring and as it was merely across the road from the eighth hole it was quite the thing from the start to take a recess at that point and out across the road and survey the hole in the ground that was going to be the Suttons' cellar eventually. All of us declared every time we looked at it that the hole was either too big, too small, too shallow or too deep and nothing could induce us to have a cellar like it. When the workmen began putting in the foundations it was even more exciting, because there are so many kinds of foundations. Nobody who looked at the Suttons' foundations approved of them. "We all gurgled with joy when the uprights marking off the partitions were up and we could see where the rooms were to be. According to various golf players who dropped over there in one morning the living room was a farce, the dining room a crime, the hall a joke and the bedrooms a fright. Most people said the house should have faced east instead of west, though there were a few in favor of a southern view and some voted for the north, which gave one a view of the railway line and let one keep track of the trains that went past. "The walls started in cobblestones and that revived flagging interest. If some one wasn't telling about a cobblestone house he knew of that fell down at the first puff of wind some one else was explaining how banal and inartistic cobblestones were now that they had grown so common. That the second story was half timbered only fanned the flame. Everybody who sat around on the terrace to cool off after a game got all heated up again exposulating against the half timbered style. "The sutton's house, in short, was not a building; it was an institution without which the golf club would have fallen flat. It made it all the more comfortable that the Sutton's were in Europe and the house was helpless. "When the Fielding girls came out to spend the day at the club with me what was more natural than that I should take them over to see the Sutton's house? I thought they would enjoy gloating over its deficiencies. We tried the front door, but it was fastened and so was that at the back. Evidently the carpenters had finished their work and left. "Anyhow, I told the Fielding girls, 'I want you to get a glimpse of the inside. You never saw the like!' "So we strolled around to the side and I got a box and on tipped and flattened my face against the living room window. "I found myself looking straight into the interested eyes of a perfectly strange man who seemed very much at home in a wicker chair beside a big table heaped with magazines and books and flowers and surrounded by furniture! If you have never peeked into a room in a house that did not belong to you and found the owner regarding you meditatively you cannot understand my sensations. "My face remained glued to the pane, because I was too limp to take it away. The strange man arose and came out at the front door and around to where we trembled and\shrank and regarded us politely. In a voice strangely not my own I stammered foolishly that I was showing my friends the Sutton house. The strange man then announced that he was Mrs. Sutton's brother and living there till the arrival of the family and he would be charmed— "Were you ever hypnotized? Did you ever dream of doing things that curled your soul with shame? Well, I curled as we trailed after that relentless man, who took us from attoil to cellar and had the cruelty to serve tea into the bargain and act as though we had called politely instead of peeking in at windows! "He hadn't any right to revenge himself so! The inside of the house! My dear, the house is a perfect dream, a beauty! That's the most exasperating part of it!" Improved Conditions The father, anxious to impress his offsprings with a spirit of thankfulness, repeated at the supper table, as he had often done before: "Remember, children, when I was a boy I often went to bed hungry and seldom had a square meal." "Well, that shows how much better off you are since you have known us," replied little Willie, who was tired of hearing about it.—Judge Never Heard of It. It was in one of those thriving cities where railroads abound that a tired and weary traveler accosted a policeman and asked the way to the Y. M. C. A. The copper was puzzled. He took off his he and scratched his head. Finally he burst out, "Stranger, you've got me. I know where the Trisco is and the M., K. & T, but that Y. M. C. A. is a new one on me." —Everybody's.

Every one in the act was an artist and made of this little one act play 2 thing to be thoroughly en- foyed, La Belle and Knox in several oral numbers were applauded to the echo. Their work is given in 2 most refined and intelligent manner. Bert Sheperd and company produced a sen- sation by the usages they made of a number of long western whips. Mr. Sheperd is considered as being Aus- tralia’s greatest whip artist and was given a gold medal by the late Queen Victoria for his marvelous exhibitions. First Half—Monday, Nov. 11. First number on the bill, which Is most pleasing, is the face of congenial Mr. Smith whom is met at the en- trance door with a.smile for every one, Beck and Henny head the stage bill and do some fairly good work. ‘The De Grey Four are fine from a comedy standpoint, they make some good harmony in singing and have a dundy line of talk. Carroll, Keating and Dyer manage to get by, but that is all. Bond Morse is an excellent monologist. Zeno and Mandell are most refreshing in their work and give a clever musical skit that takes with the public. ‘THE MONOGRAM. The Hendersons open a bill full of good acts and do some fair work, The Green Trio is a reorganization of the Green, Pugh and Green Trio. It has not bettered itself by the change well, not as far as the patrons of the house can see. However, it is equally as well liked. The Butlers are a dressy classy act and make more than good. Emmett Anthony furnishes much fun in his monologue and funny songs. The bill is a good one all through and entertains the people. THE PEKIN. Perrin, Saparo and Crosby have struck the “happy medium” at the Pekin Theater this week in their at- tempt to bring back to this playhouse the atmosphere of other days. ‘Their triple comedies, “The J.aughing Trust,” is funny, which no one can deny. The first act, the meeting of a ladies’ club, ‘is filled with good sing- ing and dancing and puts the audience in a pleasant mood for what follows. Act two, 2 court house scene, is a most* laughable burlesque on the strong right arm of the Jaw. Act three exploited the troubles of Miss Lucy Long's beanx and indeed their dilemmas were many. These three little comediettes gives the audience two hours of real enjoyment. A nice sized audience greeted the players Monday night and it is to be hoped the Pekin, Chicago's old land mark, will come into its own again. The theater has been newly decorated and is being run on a splendid system un- der the house management of Arthur C. Harris. ‘The offerings of the liotse will hereafter be under the direction of Mr. Sydney Perrin, whose ability is unquestioned. “The Bogus Prince,” a musical comedy, will hold the bill for the week of Monday, Nov. 18. B. EMANUAL JOHNSON RECITAL. A large and appreciative audience heard the pleasing and instructive re- cital given Tuesday evening, Nov. 12, at Grace Presbyterlan chureh by the pupils of Prof. Johnson, with the assistance of some of Chicago's lead- ing talent. The zeal, patience and thor- ough musical ability of Professor Johnson was clearly demonstrated in his pupils’ recital. Every participant did justice to him or herself and re- flected much credit on the tutor. The “Andante finale, from Lucia di Lam- mermoor,” for left hand only was most excellently played by Mrs. H. P, Campbell. The ensemble work of the students was given with much in- telligence. Prof. Johnson, in sclect- ing assistance for his recital was fortunate In securing Prof. Chas. Ele gar and his Symphony Orchestra, an aggregation of young musicians sec- ond to none in the city, who crowned whan, themselves With fresh’ laurels by their numbers. Little Miss Violet Gallo- way sang sweetly. “Good-Bye Rose." Mr. Frank L. Lowry gave his read- ing in excellent style. The gentleman possesses fine ability as a reader. His articulation is worthy of much com- mendation. Mrs. Nellie V. Gray and Mrs, Reader Leon Lilliard sang 2 duett and were thoroughly enjoyed. Both ladies possess splendid voices and thelr rendition of the vocal duo, “The Fishermen,” places them among Chicago's foremost singers. Not only do they sing well, but they are of most pleasing mannerisms, which goes farto make the successful artist. Junius Sayre, a dramatic readet of local fame, displayed splendid talent in his readings and with careful ap- plication to his studies great things can he done in oratory by him. ‘The program as a whole was fine and everything complimentary can in truth be sald of the recital, CHICAGO MUSICAL COLLEGE. The Chicago Musical College, of which Dr. F. Ziegfeld is president, will have among Its graduates of piano Miss Madelyn Johnson and Miss ‘Ethel Minor, these ladies will receive their diplomas in plano, harmony and theory. The race should be proud of such daughters, And the faculty of the college rate them as among their most intelligent students. Miss Minor and Miss Johnson are pupils of Prof. G. Wedetz, Numerous others of the race are taking at the Chicago Musical College, among whom may be men- tloned Miss Vetolia Hayes (piano), Miss Cook (plano), Mrs, Mary Odd- rick (voice), Mrs, Agnes Lillard (voice), and Mr, H. Stewart (piano and organ) Of these and, many others are the most flattering reports given. And each o: the students vie with one another .in praising the splendid personalities of the president of the college and his facuty. Roland Hayes, Recital. Not by any means has sufficient stress been placed upon the coming recital of Roland Hayes, the tenor from Nashville, Tenn, who will ap- pear iu our city Wednesday evening, Nov. 27, at Institutional church. Mr. Hayes’ recital will be one of the treats of the season. The tenor has one of the most inspiring voices of the race; it has been cultured by the methods of the old masters and shows what assiduity will benefit one. Those who love art for art’s sake should not miss the opportunity of hearing Mr. Hayes in recital work. MISS BERTHA A. HANSBURY'S PIANOFORTE CLASS IN RE- CITAL. Detroit, Mich.

JENNIE WATTS-BROWN RETURNS. Mme, Jennie Watts-Brown, our well known stage favorite, has returned from the east where she met with great success as a dramatic reader and impersonater, Her recitations of the works of the well known authors brought forth praises from every one. She was afforded an opportunity to depict a variety of human emotions which went big and added fame to her career. Many of the eastern Papers published favorable comments of her. She goes to Kansas City, Mo., this week where we hope she will meet with the same success as in the east. 50th EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION.

Though the hard and earnest work of Dr. Roy Young and the head coach, Mr. Hammett (white) Northwestern made a gallant stand against the Maroons Saturday, holding the south siders to a 3-0 score. Northwestern's goal was in danger several times, but they braced time and again. It was a surprise to the purple team, also to its followers who looked for Chicago to win by a much larger score. It was one of the greatest games played between the two institutions and as a coach it puts Dr. Young's stock way above par. At West Point the Carlisle Indians, under the leadership of Jimmy Thorpe, of Olympic fame, trimmed the cadets 27-6. The cadets were outplayed at every stage of the game and only once early in the first quarter did the army get within striking distance of the red skin's goal and then they scored a touchdown, failing to kick goal.

Tuskegee has a squad of more than forty candidates, the majority who have had some good experience at football. The backfield is entirely new and with the advice and training of such masters of the art as Messrs. Stewart, Woods, Fidler and Thomas, instructors, and former Captain Newburn they are rounding in almost perfect shape. As in former years the real effective practice is a disposition on the part of players to mix unnecessary noise with the execution of signals and lose much of the instruction that they might otherwise obtain from the coaches.

Tuesday night at New York the international billiard championship play started. The Demarest-yamada match attracted by far the greatest attention because of its international aspect. The Oriental proved a bit disappointing, and, once the Chicago lad broke into the lead, never figured in the running. Yamada appeared nervous and ill at ease at the beginning. The further the game went, however, the more composed he appeared to become and toward the close was a match for his clever opponent. KID CAMPBELL GETS SHADE OF KID SYMS.

Wednesday evening a reporter for The Defender called at the beautiful home of Mrs. Henry Jones to find out whether she contemplated going to Milwaukee and whether she was in Milwaukee on last Friday; and it was at this point she said the new word, which raised the hair of the young man. She said: "No. snee; I was in the city and attended a local theater on State street where there are a number of our girls playing. These young 'actoretts' (the new word) put me in mind of the old days. I beg pardon, is it raining?" Our reporter said no to her, feeling that it would be a pleasure, and to his dismay she said: "Oh! my, how mean, I have just bought a new raincoat and I wanted to try it out. Well, I am going and I wish it would rain in buckets." Fearing that it might, our reporter beat a husty retreat for the office.

The word refers to the art of mending clothes. In Paris the "stoppeur" is well and favorably known. Supposing a gentleman tears his coat or burns a hole with his cigarette in his trousers, the garment is conveyed to the "stoppeur," who in some mysterious way reconstructs the material. In some way they seem to weave in the stuff, joining up threads of a bit of cloth cut from another part. Ancients Know of Elevators Ancients Knew of Elevators.

CHICAGO IS AUTOMOBILE CENT- ER OF WORLD More Members of the Race Operate Horseless Carriages Here Than in Any Other City in the United States — Some Have Two. EXPERT CHAUFFEURS AND MECHANICS "Chicago is automobile mad," said an authority some time ago. How true or far fetched is this statement is unknown, but it is a certainty that more members of the race own automobiles in Chicago than in any other city in the United States. Chicago also takes the lead in expert chauffeurs and mechanics. The largest manufacturing and repairing concerns number among their best employs members of the race. "Automobile Row" is constantly dotted with them, and their knowledge of the horseless vehicle is undoubted. More. Many Residents Have Automobiles. Honors are about even between Mrs. William Emanuel, wife of the famius christoprod, and Dr. Daniel H. Williams, the renowned surgeon, as to the ownership of the first automobile. The fact, however, remains that they were the investigators of the iden, but many have followed their lead. Dr. Mercer of the west side was a close second and Dr. Fenwick was not far behind. Now an automobile falls to attract attention. Banker Jesse Binga covers the city every day in his high geared car, while his wife enjoys life in her handsome electric coupe. Dr. Burrows, Dr. Cotton, Dr. Anderson and Dr. Turner all drive machines of note and speed. Dr. and Mrs. George C. Hall are both proficient in motoring and are familiar figures on the boulevards. Expert Chauffeurs and Master Mechanics. Among the employed we have our largest representation. Every garage of note has its quota of expert chauffeurs and mechanics. Former coachmen and butlers long ago mastered the intricacies of the business and the best families in Chicago ride behind a chauffeur of color. When it comes to a knowledge of the various parts of the automobile, and to tires and general repairs, the members of the race engaged in the business have no equal. At the recent meeting of the Negro Business league Mr. Offord, manager of one of the largest garages in Chicago, gave an interesting and practical talk upon his success in the business. WITH THE TRUE REFORMERS The True Reformers are regaling ground in this city and state. Almost in every meeting new members are being made and new applications accepted. In Lake Forest, Evanson, Waukegan, Braidwood, Danville and Cairo, Ill, the news comes that the True Reformers are rapidly forging their way to the front again. The local officers are working hard everywhere to build the organization up and make it the greatest in the country. True Reformers in Chicago have advised the opening of some local business. Just the nature of the same has not been stated. M. T. Bailey, chief, is very busy trying to get everybody in line for this order. They are offering special inducements for old members who once belonged to the, Chicago Division and scores of them are taking advantage of the same.

Apprehension of Approaching Dissolution is the Most Uncomfortable Feeling—Grant Allen Tella of His Experience. A distinguished British physician, who has been at some pains to collect data on the subject, asserts that few persons about to die have really any fear of dissolution. There is cited the case of the African explorer who was partially devoured by a lion. He declared that he felt no pain or fear, and that his only sensation was one of intense curiosity as to what portion of the body the lion would take next. Rustem Pasha, Turkish ambassador at London, used to tell of an attack made upon him by a bear during a hunt in the east. The beast tore a bit of the Turk's hand, a part of his arm, and a portion of his shoulder. Rustem solemnly averred that he suffered neither pain nor fear, but that he felt the greatest indignation because the bear grunted with so much satisfaction while munching him. Grant Allen, whose scientific habit of thought gave weight to his words, says that in his boyhood he had a narrow escape from drowning. While skating he fell through thin ice over a place whence several blocks had the day before been removed. He was carried under the thicker ice beyond, and when he came to the surface tried to break through by butting his head against it. The result was that he was stunned, then numbed by the cold, and so waterlogged that artificial respiration had to be employed to restore him. These are the impressions as recorded by him with reference to the pain he suffered: "The knowledge that I have thus experienced death in my own person has had a great deal to do with my utter physical indifference to it. I know how it feels. I had only a sense of cold, damp, and breathlessness, a short struggle, and then all was over." "I had been momentarily uncomfortable, but it was not half so bad as breaking an arm or having a tooth drawn. In fact, dying is as painless as falling asleep. It is only the previous struggle, the sense of its approach, that is at all uncomfortable. Even this is less unpleasant than I should have expected. There was a total absence of any craven shrinking. The sensation was merely the physical one of gasping for breath."—Harper's Weekly. Treacherous Memory The lawyers got a tartar when, in a recent trial in a southern city, they summoned to the stand an aged darky who had been an eyewitness of a fight that occurred between a number of persons. "Tell us what you know about this fight," said counsel when old Mose had been placed upon the stand. "I don't know nothin' about no fight," insisted the witness. "When was it?" "See here, Moses!" exclaimed the lawyer; "no trilling! The fight day before yesterday. You know all about it. Tell us—" Oh, de fight day befo' yesterday," said McOse. "Well, suh, you see I'e slept since de day befo' yesterday, and I never kin rickollect anything after I'e been asleep." And that was all they could get from him. "Green Bag." Sorrows of Johnny. Little Johnny was small of stature and looked rather pale and out of sorts, which led his school fellows to tease and cross-question him. "Who's your family doctor?" asked a big boy, with a bullying and swaggering air. "Haven't got any doctor at all," said Johnny. "I never see one." "How jolly fine!" replied the other. "You don't have to take any medicine, then?" "Oh, don't. I?" replied Johnny. "That's all you know about it! My father's a dentist, my mother's a homopathic, my oldest sister has joined the ambulance class, grandmother tries every patent medicine advertised, my uncle is a veterinary surgeon, and—and," he added, almost in tears, "they all practice on me!"—Tit-Dits. Needed Knowledge Sometimes one wonders if the world has forever lost its sense of peace and beauty, and if we are to whiz and yell and advertise till the end of time. Will simple pleasures seem tame and quiet ways unsuccessful? Or are we mad only for a little term, and will we return to spacious and serene things after this fever cools? Shall we soon turn from the clatter of these days, the temporal display, the unreal values set on position and success, the scorn of what is simple-hearted and generous, the haste and noise that drown out all gentle voices? It is time to recover our knowledge of the wind on the hills, the silent passage of a summer's day, the swift wind-swift procession of early autumn clouds, the sea in calm and storm, with the breaking waves that wear away the beach—Collier's Weekly. Acted on the Advice A well-to-do business man of Arkansas City tells a unique story of how he got started in life. When a young man, without much money, he struck New York City While walking down the street, he saw a sign which read: "We will tell you how to get rich for $1," says the Kansas City Journal. He went in and planked down a dollar and received instructions in a sealed envelope. Going out on the street he opened the envelope and found a slip of paper reading: "Work like the devil and save your money." Dlo he have the outfit arrested - for swindling? No, indeed! He took their advice and today he is worth more than $100,000. THE BROADWAY BAR THE LEADING HOTEL OF MILWAUKEE THIS HOTEL. is the finest in the State of Wisconsin. Improve high quality people.

By Cary B. Lewis. "It is rare, indeed, that we as a people are called upon to pay tribute to exponents of the arts of poetry and music, who belong to us by racial ties. For ages they have been the highest products of the more favored faces with a heritage replete with opportunity and every advantage. While art truly belongs to no race or age, but is universal, each race has been ever greedy to claim its own, for in this regard its representatives touch the hem of immortals." This was the opening remark in the eloquent address delivered by Dr. M. DR. CHAS. E. BENTLEY. Charles E. Bentley on last Sunday afternoon at institutional church, under the auspices of the Choral Study Club, where the memory of the late Samuel Coleridge Taylor was eulogized. For an hour Dr. Charles E. Bentley, one of the most able and brilliant men of the race, delivered a forceful, interesting and timely address upon Mr. Taylor who recently died in London, England. Praise in Song and Prose. Every song and word uttered was a tribute to the famous composer. The church was filled with the most representative men and women of the city and the brilliant program rendered was highly appreciated. Attorney J. Gray Lucas was master of ceremonies and Miss M. Gertrude Jackson was at the piano. The Choral Study Club, the leading musical organization in the city, rendered two heavy numbers, "Hiwatha's Departure" and "The Blind Girl of Castel Guille." The club was under the direction of Mr. Walter E. Gossett. Mr. Harrison Emmanuel played upon the violin, "Deer River" from Coleridge Taylor, Mrs. Martha B. Anderson sang sweetly two solos from the composer, (a) "Prayer," (b) "Dawn"; Mrs. Mayne Marshall rendered the solo "When I Am Dead, My Dearest." Mr. Daniel Protheroe, a director of one of the largest choruses of the city, delivered a short address which was followed with two tenor solos taken from the works of the noted artist and composer. The numbers were a() "Earth Fades, Heaven Breaks On Me" and b() "Weep Not, Beloved Friends," from African Romances. All the numbers were rendered with intelligence, giving evidence of training and artistic temperament. Each participant was applauded by the vast audience with waving of handkerchiefs. Following the program, Mr. J. Gray Lucas offered the suggestion that the occasion be made annual and with the unanimous sanction of all, Mr. Pedro Tinsley was chosen president, Dr. Charles E. Bentley secretary and Mr. James S. Madden treasurer. Dr. Bentley's Eloquent Address. Dr. Bentley was the feature of the program that was extremely illuminating in painting the life and character of the races' great musician. He told minutely of his early career, his prolific writings, connections with the finest musical organizations of London, as a teacher, orchestra and cafe director. He enumerated the ma's songs and works that came from the brain of Mr. Taylor and their wonderful influence on the musical world. Dr. B. Blake became eloquent when he said: "Coloridge Taylor's opportunity was unbounded, unlimited. In an hospitable, stimulating environment his art quickly blossomed and burst forth in all its majestic force. It had upon it no ear marks of restriction, nor the atrophy of prescription. Bunbar's wing beat against his strong cage and longed for full flight, into the pale blue ether beyond, but a severe and cruel master, in shape of the public sentiment said: "Thus far and no further." Coleridge Taylor was free to soar to unexplored heights and live in the atmosphere for the gods to the muses." The speaker related Mr. Taylor's visit to Washington, D. C., where the Choral Study Club of that city entertained him highly and rendered "Hiawatha." Among other things the speaker said: What the Music World Hae Lost. "The music world lost a most distinguished member and the colored people its most gifted musical genius on Sept. 1, 1912, in the death of Mr. Samuel Coleridge Taylor of London, England. "It is rare, indeed, that we, as a people, are called upon to pay tribute to exponents of the arts of poetry and music, who belong to us by racial ties. For ages they have been the highest products of the more favored faces with a heritage replete with opportunity and every advantage. While art truly belongs to no race or age, but is universal, each race has been ever greedy to claim its own, for in this regard its representatives touch the hem of immortals. Full Development. "The arts of poetry and music are the highest reaches of a people in their efforts to enjoy the full sunburst of civilization. Often they are expressive of sorrow and travail, and here they have their uses as I will endeavor to show later; but when they reach the high plane of universality, when they sing for mankind rather than for a man; when they touch the heart, quicken the spirit and fire the imagination of Russian, Turk, Englishman and American allie, 'tis then they have reached the highest peaks known yet to civilization. "The combined forces of tradition and unfavorable environment, seemingly have conspired against the full development of many representatives of these arts among the colored people. "I say full development. "A small army of the half-prepared have appeared upon the scene, made a flash and gone down, when the crucial test was applied. But when nature did produce them, despite the handicap and inhospitable environment, she seems to have been prodigal with her bestowals, and lavishly endowed the few to compensate seemingly for lack of it in the many. Began Study at the Age of 4. "The subject of this sketch was born 1875 in London, England. His father was an African surgeon of Sierra Leone, who came to London to study medicine and married an English lady of excellent family, she being the daughter of an English professor of music. "Samuel Coleridge Taylor showed his remarkable musical gift at the age of 4, soon thereafter he began the study of the violin. In 1890 he entered the violin department of the Royal Academy of Music, where he also studied composition and in 1894 graduated with honours, having won an open scholarship on composition. His widow and two children, Hiawatha and Gwendolen, survive him. Member Royal College of Music. "Mr. Coleridge-Taylor, at the time of his death, was an associate of the Royal College of Music, London; a professor in Trinity College and Crystal Palace, London; conductor of the Handel Choral Society, the oldest and most exclusive organization of its kind in England; and conductor of the Rochester Choral Society, England. A few months before his death Mr. Taylor became associated with Mr. Landon Ronald, principal of the Guildhall School of Music, where he had charge of the choral work, the orchestra and the opera. "From the time of his graduation to his death, a period of eighteen years, Coleridge-Taylor was a busy man and a prolific composer. Aside from his teaching and conducting were songs, planoforte and violin pieces with orchestral accompaniment, trios, quintets for strings and clarinet, incidental music, symphony, orchestral and choral works. Last Piece the Best One. "The last of his works—'A Tale of Old Tapan,' the setting of a poem by Alfred Noyes—was numbered Opus 59. This last work was considered by the composer the best he had done." Bible Was Put Into Rhyme Verifications, not only of the Psalms but of the other books of the Bible, were numerous in the sixteenth century. One of the most prolific versifiers was William Hammis, who, under such fanciful titles as "Seven Sobs of a Sorrowful Soul for Sin," "A Handful of Honeysuckles," "A Hiveful of Honey," etc., published a number of rhyming versions of Genesis and Job, which are now worth their weight in gold to the bibliomaniac. Her Diagnosis. Betsey, an old colored cook, was moaning around the kitchen one day, when her mistress asked her if she was ill. "No, ma'am, not 'zactly', said Betsey. "But the fac' is, I don't feel ambition 'nough to git outer my own way."—Exchange Garrison's Philosophy The truth that we utter is impalpable, yet real; it cannot be thrust down by brute force, nor pierced with a dagger, nor bribed with gold. The cause that we espouse is the cause of human liberty, formidable to tyrants, and dear to the oppressed, throughout the world.—William Lloyd Garrison. Very Much 8a.

CANADA OFFERS VAST OPPORTUNITIES FOR WEALTH Chicagoan Touring the Dominion Reiterates The Chicago Defender's Constant Cry for the Honest and Intelligent of the Race to Settle There. WONDERFUL CHANCES FOR THE AMBITIOUS Fort Qu Appelle, Canada, Nov. 15. I find that there are very few real Canadian people here, Canada being made up of so many nationalities that limited space prohibits me from naming them. I read an account in the Winnipeg, Manitoba, paper that one could find throughout the Dominion of Canada a representative of every race under the sum, and seemingly I find it true. Some of our people in Chicago should come to Canada and settle for about five or ten years. In that time they would become wealthy, as Canada is a very rich country and the money lies principally in the soil. Also there are many opportunities for druggists, doctors, musicians, carpenters, cobblers and merchants throughout the provinces. Here is an illustration: Mr. Greenlaw, an old Fisk Jubilee singer, has the directorship of a choir in one of the most magnificent churches in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He was called to Winnipeg from Regina, Saskatchewan, a little over a month ago. This church is a white church. In Brandon, Manitoba, I found a family of color, the only one in the city, owning and operating the finest cafe and restaurant in the city, and Brandon is no village. It boasts of having the finest hotel in Canada, being built by the Canadian Northern Railroad. Writing rooms, music rooms equipped with grand pianos, and everything of the most exquisite design, is furnished there. The Duke of Connaught and the rest of the Royal party stop at this hotel, the "Prince Edward." The sumptuous cafe and restaurant mentioned before is run by two brothers and their wives, named Johnson, They hail from Ohio. Their help is all white, as there are no other members of the race in the city. They employ about twenty people. Canada is the place to make money. The winters, of course, are hard and bitter, but good warm clothes and fur and, chamois lined overcovers protect one from the cold winds. Try your luck in Canada, is my advice. [Mr. Garner, Chicago celebrated singer, with his sister as accompanist, are members of the Hahn Concert Company, who are touring that section of the country, and they are meeting with great success.—Ed.] SPARKS FROM THE RAIL. Winston's Spicy Gossip of Men and Events in the Railroad World. Mr. A. Bullock, 57 Camden street, Boston, Mass., is in the service of the New York Central railway on the pullman to Chicago. Mr. Bullock stays at the Hotel Pullman when in our metropolis. Brother La Force Samuel is on buffet car 140 between Oelwein, Ia., and Omaha, Nebr. Mr. La Force is a resident of Chicago, 3221 Wabash, but it seems that he is the only man the company can depend upon who will stick. It is easily accounted for—Mr. La Force is a married man. Mr. J. B. Winston of Chicago is in the service of the Pullman company between Chicago and Des Moines, Ia., over the lines of the C. G. W. railway. Mr. Edward Brooks, 4550 State street, fourth floor, is in the service of the C. G. W. railway as train porter between Chicago and Minneapolis, Minn. Mr. S. E. Farrington, 3515 Wabash avenue, is in the service of the C., G. W. railway as train porter on trains 1 and 2 between Chicago and Minneapolis, Minn. Mr. John Chambers, 3730 Forest avenue, is in the service of the Chicago and Alton railway as train porter on the extra list. Mr. C. Butler is in the buffet service of the C., G. W. railway. Mr. C. H. Robinson, 21 Atlantic street, Jersey City, N. J., is in the service of the Erie railway as chef between New York and Chicago. C. B. Montague, 54 Ferry street, Hoboken, N. J., is running to Chicago over the Erie as chef. Now, railroad men, you all are aware of the fact that "old Fifty" has been off 22 days on a vacation and you all know that "old Fifty" sells The Chicago Defender on station platforms and on trains at five cents per copy. Have your nickels ready when he comes through. He wants to make up this lost time. Toot! Toot! They are off for The Chicago Defender which is only $1.50 per year, six months $1.00. "Digby, you are worrying about some woman." "Biffies, I am." "I knew it! She is constantly in your thoughts." "I can't get her out of my mind." "I wouldn't dream of asking you to tell me her name." "I have no objections to letting you know her name. It is Mrs. Pruner, my landlady. I owe her for six months' board." **Birds Worthy of Gratitude.** It has been estimated that the birds in the United States save $200,000,000 worth of crops each year. The tree sparrows in Iowa eat 4,666 pounds of weed seed daily. One full-fledged robin will eat 16 feet of caterpillar daily, or about 4,569 individuals a month.

Press Service, Department of Health. We seek the fresh air in summer and most of us ous avoid it in the winter. This is wrong. Fresh air is needed all the time; day and night, winter and summer. Be careful then about your air supply. We need food three times a day and fresh air 18 times a minute. If we were all as careful about breathing tainted air as we are about eating tainted food, the dirty-air diseases would soon disappear. Uncle Sam has joined in the fight against the dangerous common drinking cup by adding to the Interstate Quarantine regulations the following order: "Common carriers shall not provide in cars, vehicles, vessels or conveyances operated in interstate traffic or in depots, waiting rooms or other places used by passengers traveling from one state or territory or the District of Columbia to another state or territory or the District of Columbia, any drinking cup, glass or vessel for common use. Provided, that this regulation shall not be held to preclude the use of drinking cups, glasses or vessels which are thoroughly cleaned by washing in boiling water after use by each individual, nor shall it be held to preclude the use of sanitary devices for individual use only." The above order in effect abolishes the use of the common drinking cup on railway and steamship lines in the United States that are engaged in interstate traffic. This action of the Federal Government should stimulate the states that have not already placed laws for bidding the use of common drinking cups on their statute books to do so at once. The common drinking cup is dangerous because it is a medium through which dangerous and loathsome diseases are spread. Its use should not be tolerated in any enlightened community.

Man of No Force. He makes no friend who never made a foe.—Tennyson. By BLANCHE HARPER. "I'll leave it to you," said the young man with the receding chin to his friend with the fuzzy bat, "whether it was my fault or not! It was just bad luck! I'm hoodoood, that's what!" "If though you were asked over to visit Mabel's family at their place in the country," objected his friend with the fuzzy hat. "I was," admitted the young man with the receding chin. "And I put it to you if that wasn't encouragement. When a girl's family lets her invite a man for a week-end doesn't it look as though everything was all right? And if the girl didn't want you couldn't she sidestep the invitation? "Mabel wrote me a nice letter when she asked me and I considered the question before accepting. A man doesn't want to commit himself offhand, you know. Girls are so frightful, fully keen these days, and while Mabel never seemed so you never can tell. Still, I had always liked Mabel pretty well, and you know where her dad stands—he's got so much money that they use it for kindling wood. So I made up my mind that I might do lots worse. Besides, I hated to disappoint Mabel. I resolved to ask her to marry me and get it over with." "Gee!" said the man with the fuzzy hat in admiring tones. "I like to see a man with courage!" "I was a little surprised," said the young man with the receding chin, "to find when I got there that about six other fellows had been invited, and among them that Rolson chap—that particularly obnoxious fellow who never notices anybody, you know, I resolved to show him a few things. So I got Mabel to myself the very first day. She had the garden hose turned on her pet flower bed and I rushed out to help her. She insisted that she preferred to water the flowers herself, but I simply took the hose away from her and naturally she had to stay and watch me use it. I tried to lead up gradually to what I had in mind, but she didn't seem to realize the situation and always ran me off the track. Finally I turned to her in desperation and, throwing out my hands, said—" "What?" breathlessly inquired his friend. "Well, whatever I said was completely lost in the subsequent excitement," admitted the young man with the receding chin. "When I threw out my hands I dropped the hose naturally and the nozzle struck on a stone at such an angle that the full force of the stream hit Mabel in the face and drenched her. "I didn't see her again till evening, but, of course, neither did Rollison. Naturally I sought her out to apologize. She had just taken a chair under the moovine at one end of the porch and said "Oh!" in a rather disappointed tone when she looked up and saw me. It sounded as though she had expected some one else. "Mabel, I began, I can't tell you how sorry I am—" "Don't try, she said. But I kept on for an hour. Whenever any one else walked toward the corner I hitched my chair around to prevent the intrusion, so we were not disturbed. Finally she rose and so did I. I stepped closer to her and took her hand, but just as I said 'Mabel' softly she let out a shriek that brought every one running. "My foot! My foot! she walled. You brought your great heavy heel down on my foot and nearly killed me!" "Then that Rollson chap pushed in ahead of me and half carried her to a chair. It was most annoying. But I knew that fate could not defeat a persistent man. "The next day all of us went for a walk, but despite my efforts I could not get a word with Mabel. I admired her shyness. A girl can always feel a proposal in the air, and it is natural for her to throw obstacles in the way. It only proves her interest Finally I circled around and reached a stile ahead of the rest. I planned to be there when Mabel arrived and help her over before Rollson could climb the fence and do it himself. It worked beautifully, only as I bobbed up smiling and lifting my hat I ran plump into a hornet's nest in a saassafras bush back of me—and I don't know who helped Mabel over that stile. "Every one seemed to think it my fault that Mabel was stung by several of the little beasts, too. "I made up my mind that I would have to write my proposal and send it to her. But just before I left her for home I accidently overheard Mabel and her father talking. "Good gracious! Mabel told him. "Don't blame me if he has kept out of all your bridge games! I told you he could play bridge when you wanted some one to fill out your table, but I didn't guarantee to chain him into a chair! Haven't I endured enough in my constant maneuvers to escape his attempts to propose to me? I've been nearly drowned and poisoned by hornets and my foot was smashed trying to get away from him—and Mr. Rollson ready to slay him at sight! Go away, papa, and don't add to my troubles!" "Now I leave it to you if I didn't serve Mabel right just to let matters drop and not write that proposal?" "You did!" agreed the friend with the fuzzy hat—Chicago Daily News. "I suppose, of course," says the fuzzy creature to the captain, "that the bow of the ship is so called because it keeps bowing all the time, but why do you call one side the starboard and the other the port." "The star boarders stay on one side and the porters on the other," is the willing explanation from the officer. A Local Product, Too.
