From Far Off Canada. Early this week The Chicago Defender received a letter from Saskatoon, Sask., Can, containing contributions amounting to $2.25. The letter is printed in full above. Miss Minnie King, 3157 Dearborn street, sent two slips for the baby to The Defender office which were promptly delivered to its mother. The benefit for Mator McFerrin by the pupils of the W. T. Jackson Music school at Odd Fellows hall, Wednesday evening, Dec. 11, promises to be a successful affair. Little Mator McFerrin and her son Clarence will be in attendance and everyone will have an opportunity to talk with this child of fate who has seen nothing but trouble since her infancy. The Jolly Twenty club met at the home of Mrs. William Robinson, 1745 Fulton street, on Nov. 21. There was a large attendance and a splendid meeting. Visitors present wore Mr. and Mrs. Alexander.

Frank Campilu, 33 years old, the white man who seduced Mater McFerrin, 15 years old, in the Cook County hospital, was tried before Judge Gemmilu in the Court of Domestic Relations Monday afternoon. He was found guilty on the charge of bastardy and the extreme penalty in such cases was given him. The court scene was a pathetic one, in the opening of court the room filled. Members of the unfortunate girl's race were out in large numbers. The majority of them were women, representing the various Women's Clubs that have interested themselves in the case following the publicity given it through the columns of The Chicago Defender. Heart Throbs in Morning Session. The ups and downs of married life, the harrowing tales of the deserted mother with three and four children, the tales of delinquent husbands and all manner of domestic difficulties are told in this court. Monday's calendar was filled with the most sensational kind and those who awaited the McFerrin case had every minute filled with almost unbelievable tales of cruelty and neglect. Intelligent looking young men were sent to the bridewell for deserting wives and families and a man of sixty years was before he bar for non-support. His "typewriter and office girl" was the commandant. She lugged in three chilien, none of them could talk and the evidence brought out the fact that he had never been married. The case was continued but the judge sent her loud-talking companion to the bridewell to reflect. During Recess. The morning session ended, during the mid-day recess those gathered to hear the case sought refreshments in nearby restaurants. Little Mator and chubby infant were cared for in an ante-room. Mrs. Joanna Snowden, juvenile court officer, was her custodian, together with Mrs. Lou Ella young, president of the T. E. Butler tub. They had brought their charge on the hospital in the early morning. It was at this period that a staff photographer for The Chicago Dealer took the first picture of Mator and baby Clarence.

Only thirteen days old he was forced to leave his warm bed and appear in court to help his mother. At the bar his mother was having bared a part of her young life that was repulsive to her and her hearers. On her left stood Frank Chapin, "the blonde sport." His main attraction is a mass of golden hair that was sadly in need of the barber's attention. At her right stood Lawyer Westbrook and Mr. Birch, the white probation officer who is her guardian. It was a sight long to be remembered. The white people in the room were speechless, the members of Mator's race were expectant and attentive. "Guilty," said Chaplin when his turn came. He was a peculiar prisoner. His spirit of bravo did not win him any friends. He gave his age as 33, said that he was married and had one child, but that he had not seen his wife in six years. Chaplin Tries to "Show Off." His direct testimony was given in a loud voice and he was abusive and at times most suggestive in his remarks. He endeavored to give the lie to every statement made by Mator. Officer Birch was the next witness. He told of how the girl had been turned over to him by the Juvenile court and how he had first learned of the condition that led to this case, when it was alleged that her relatives learning of her plight wanted her sent to their home in Mississippi. In the early investigation of the case it was said that Judge M. W. Pinkney was the man who prevented her deportation to the south, but later Warden Healey said that he was the man that did it. Mator is Returned to the Hospital. From Far Off Canada. THE JOLLY TWENTY CLUB After the meeting Mrs. Robinson served the club with a two-course luncheon. The next meeting will be held with Mrs. William Harrison, 1726 Nelson street. Dec. 5. DOUGLAS DANCING SCHOOL'S BALL Brillian Event Thanksgiving Night at Lincoln Garden. Beneath shaded lights of beautiful colors and surrounded by palms and flowers of exquisite taste, galloped the Douglass Club Dancing School and their many friends Thursday night to the strains of timely music by the Garfield Wilson Orchestra. Prof. Wilson with his well known class had gathered to celebrate their first annual ball at Lincoln Garden, 29th street / near Wabash, a $20,000 venture. The grand march was slated to take place at 12 o'clock under beautiful spotlights, but owing to a siege of sadness that is attending Prof. Wilson the grand march was omitted and the spotlights turned on the dancers at each number. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1912 EDITOR ABBOTT TAKES MUCH NEEDED REST. Acting Upon the Advice of His Physiian He Takes a Week's Vacation—Eats Thanksgiving Dinner at Hampton Institute. Mr. R. S. Abbott, L.L. B., editor and publisher of The Chicago Defender, is enjoying a brief vacation. He calls it a pleasure trip, but it was at the request of his friends and upon the order of his physician that he decided to take the first vacation that he has had in seven years. He left the city Tuesday night for Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va., where he intends to spend Thanksgiving. Mr. Abbott is a graduate of Hampton, class of '66. After several days there he will visit Baltimore and New York, returning to Chicago direct from Washington about the middle of next week. ' By Turner Tandy. Toledo, Ohio, Nov. 29.—Mr. James Winston left for Cincinnati, Ohio, Sunday night where it is reported his father is very ill and not expected to live. Mable Casey left Sunday night for a week's visit with Miss Ida Davis of Columbus, Ohio. The fifteenth anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation will be celebrated by the race of Toledo on Jun. 1, 1913. A very elaborate program is being arranged. A speaker of national repute will be secured to make the address of the evening. The arrangements are being made by a general committee representing all the churches and fraternal orders. The third annual winter festival will be held at Warren A. M. E. church on the evening of Dec. 16, 1912. A donkey social was given by the Daughters of Jerusalem at the home of Mrs. Nancy Bell Wednesday evening. The Canadian Jubilee Club was delayed in Perrybush by the illness of their pianist. They hope to be on the road soon. Mrs. Russell and daughter Nellie of Kalamazoo, Mich., were called here to attend the funeral of little Wayne Casey, who passed away last week. Miss Eva Jones, one of the best known church workers of this city, passed away last week. She leaves two sisters, Miss Aggie Jones and Mrs. Green and two nieces, Miss Elsa Green and Miss Ebbie Green of this city, to mourn her loss besides relatives in southern Canada where her remains were sent. The fourth annual memorial service of Amarenth Lodge No. 129, I. B. P. O. E. of W., will be held Sunday to which the public is invited. There will be addresses by Rev. J. C. Taylor, Rev. W. B. Lee, Rev. Gillman, Attorneys Brown and Fisher and Rev. McWilliams. The Willing Workers Society of the Third Baptist church has given another demonstration of its earnest desire to promote the work and welfare of the church by installing a Bell telephone in the residence of the pastor. This thoughtful act brings not only the pastor but the whole church under obligation to the society, for by this means he and the church are brought in closer touch with each other and much of the work of the church will be done with greater facility. The Majestic vocal and instrumental, which consists of Mr. W. Sampson, manager, first tenor and mandolin; Jas. A. Berry, second tenor and auto harp; Mrs. W. S. Sampson, alto guitar; C. P. Johnson, basso and cello, who played in Saginaw, Mich., last week, are home ill with colds, but expect to leave soon for Buffalo to fill an engagement there. JUDGE FREES BISHOP. As a sequel to the long drawn out abduction case against Bishop Ellas Cottrell of Holly Springs, Miss., Judge J. W. Palmer, presiding over the second division of the criminal court, gave the jury poremptory instructions to bring in a verdict of not guilty, after having heard the evidence the state had to offer. This action on the part of the trial judge was in line with the decision of the Bishops' Council, which passed on the merits of this case several months ago at Mt. Olive church. Never since the days of slavery have the white people of Mississippi manifested so much interest in a Negro as they have in the Cottrell case. The Bishop will publish the full text of his vindication soon that his friends may know the particulars leading up to his arrest and subsequent embarrassment. The community mourns with him in the loss of his fateful wife who died on an operating table at the Wilson hospital.— Nashville Clarion. IF YOU WANT A ROOM READ OUR CLASSIFIED COLUMNS. LITTLE MATOR McFERRIN AND HER SON CLARENCE, PHOTOGRAPHED BY T. LANG- STON, STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE CHICAGO DEFENDER. MARY S. MATOR McFERRIN'S FRIENDS SHOULD GET TOGETHER. Immediate Help Needed for Little Girl Seduced In the Cook County Hospital. The sad plight of Mator McFerrin has won for her many friends, but they seem to be scattered. Churches, clubs and individuals have secured clothes for her and her baby and considerable money has been raised for her. What is needed now is a joint meeting of all the forces working in her interest. Money is needed for a prompt prosecution of Frank Chaplin, the white man who outraged her, and for the care of the little mother and her child. The mother is particularly in need of wearable apparel. The City Federation of Women's Clubs meets Monday at Quinn Chapel and it is hoped that every one interested will meet and co-operate with them. MATOR McFERRIN NEEDS HELP AND NEEDS IT AT ONCE. If you did not attend the trial on Monday ask some one who did about it and you will be told of the most pathetic case ever heard in the city courts. THE FREDERICK DOUGLASS INSURANCE COMPANY IS DEAD. Company for Which Mr. Henry T. Eubanks solicited for in Chicago Was Not Reorganized Under the Laws of Ohio. The latter part of the year 1911 and early in this year Mr. Henry T. Eubanks solicited customers in this city for the Frederick Douglass Life Insurance Company of Cleveland, Ohio. Many persons here were induced to join the company, but when many months passed by and certain promises were not kept, inquiry was made at this office as to what had become of the company. This was about the first of the year. We asked through the columns of The COLLEGE MEN EXTEND GREEK LETTER SOCIETY. Several Members of the Sigma P.

DENNIS TYLER On Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock the funeral of Mr. Dennis Tyler took place at Quinn Chapel A. M. E. church. Rev. W. D. Cook officinated, assisted by Rev. A. N. Web and Rev. A. J. Carey. The funeral was largely attended. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows were out in full force and made a very impressive appearance. Mrs. Nora F. Taylor, being absent from the city, sent a telegram of condolence to the church and family. Shady Grove Baptist church, Rev. J. W. Hairston, pastor, located in the southeastern section of East Spencer, was discovered in flames Wednesday at 3:30 a. m. and before assistance could arrive the entire building, a frame one, together with all of the church furniture, including a new organ, which had only been in service one Sunday, was completely destroyed. The building and furnishings were valued at and cost the congregation $3,086, and on these there was an insurance of $1,500—The Piedmont Advocate, Salisbury, N. C. W. ALLISON SWEENEY IN A NEW ROLE Noted Orator Gives an Exhibition of His Dexterity With the Knife. Chicago surgeons had better look to their laurels for on Thanksgiving day Hon. W. Allison Sweeney, who was a dinner guest at the Hudlin mansion, 3250 Vernon avenue, gave an exhibition of dexterity with the knife. The victim was a 15-pound turkey. Lata that evening Mr. Sweeney left for points in Indiana where he is interested in a litigation over an estate. THE FREDERICK DOUGLASS INSURANCE COMPANY IS DEAD. Company for Which Mr. Henry T. Eubanks Solicited for in Chicago Was Not Reorganized Under the Laws of Ohio. The latter part of the year 1911 and early in this year Mr. Henry T. Eubanks solicited customers in this city for the Frederick Douglass Life Insurance Company of Cleveland, Ohio. Many persons here were induced to join the company, but when many months passed by and certain promises were not kept, inquiry was made at this office as to what had become of the company. This was about the first of the year. We asked through the columns of The J. B. Mr. Henry T. Eubanks. Defender "what had become of the company," but learned nothing. Later others inquired and the matter wag referred to a special correspondent in Cleveland who replied this week as follows: Mr. Eubanks came to Cleveland many years ago from Louisville, Ky. He was a headwaiter, filling a position as such in this city until recent years. He conducts a tonsorial parlor adjoining the Kenwood House. I understand that the Frederick Douglass Insurance Co. is 'dead' and which never did more than sell its stock. It was not permitted under the laws of Ohio to write insurance. The company was organized by white men and I understand that Mr. Eubanks was only one of their field agents." RECENT MARRIAGES Monday, Nov. 25, Mr. Theodore H. Bradley and Miss Lula Nelson were united in marriage at the parsonage of Quinn chapel by Dr. Cook. Mr. Wilbur Harris and Miss Ora King were also united in marriage by Dr. Cook at the church office Monday. TELEPHONE THE CHICAGO DEFENDER, DOUGLAS 3339.

[This is the first of a series of articles that Dr. Dailey has prepared at the request of The Chicago Defender. The second installment will appear next week.—Ed.] The present random report of observations made during a brief sojourn in some of the cities of Europe is an attempt to fulfill a promise made to Editor Abbott before my departure from Chicago some months ago. However much has been said and written about the old world, each observer has his own viewpoint, and there are so many various centers of interest that no one individual, even the professional traveler and writer, can possibly cover all the ground. Hence, there is no apology for this account, except to express a sense of regret that time did not permit a fuller and more carefully written report. Short Stay In Montreal The linen began in Montreal, Canada. My stay here was short and was confined to medical matter, and we may quickly pass on the main object of our journey. This city has something of the old world flavor and is calculated to afford a foretaste of what is to be seen later. It is rather unique in the respect that there are two languages spoken, French and English, the former people tenaciously conserving their mother tongue through the many years. The city government is participated in equally by the two classes of citizens, and all of the public notices and inscriptions must by law be printed in both languages. The police and other public servants speak the two languages. There are newspapers published by the French contingent as well as by the English. The new Royal Victoria hospital, which I had the pleasure of visiting, is said to be, and I can believe it, the finest hospital in the world. Down the St. Lawrence River. Quitting Montreal early one Sunday morning our ship steamed majestically down the St. Lawrence river, stopping at the city of Quebec twelve hours late the same afternoon. Then followed a two days' voyage which in every way was nearly ideal. The weather, conditions were perfect, and the seepery to either side of the river quite realized in picturesqueness the anticipation which we indulged by reason of the accounts of seasoned voyagers. Passing into the Atlantic ocean, through the Straits of Bell Isle, with Labrador to the north and New Foundland to the south, we encountered a floatilla of icebergs, numbering, it was estimated, more than five hundred. The atmosphere was perceptibly chilled as soon as we entered this zone; some of them were within a mile of us but in reality they seemed much nearer. Remember Titanic Disaster. As the passage was made in broad daylight and there was no fog, one no one was conscious of any danger, even though the Titanic disaster was still fresh in memory. It was certainly a never-to-be-forgotten sight! That there was an element of danger, however, is evidenced by the fact that a vessel of the same life sailing a week later struck one of these huge mountains of ice and a catastrophe was narrowly averted. An otherwise uneventful five days in open sea ended in the debarkation at Le Haver, one of the chief trans-Atlantic seaports of France. Three hours' ride in the toylike (to the American eye) railroad train from the port to Paris gave us opportunity to observe the differences between this and a similar view from our railway cars. I had rather expected to pass ruins, mould that hatched huts, in other words to be transported into a world of centuries ago. Red Brick Popular Everywhere. A raw and provincial resumption, for instead we were greeted with well built towns and villages, many modern factories, all of which seemed new, highly cultivated and farms, live stock with the appearance of having had good fodder and care. Many quaint tile and thatched roofed houses were seen, but not one sign of disorder met the eye. The habitations, as well as the factory buildings, are, as a rule, constructed with bright red brick. Now and then, seemingly at regular intervals along the way, beautiful chateaux situated in the depths of gardens and surrounded by hedges of artistically trimmed trees. There pervaded an air, not of luxury, one would say, but of wholesome prosperity. The thrift of the French peasant is a by-word; and thrift seems to beam in the very atmosphere of rural France. My first impression in this regard was not changed when some weeks later I crossed the northeast of France from Paris through Belgium to Cologne, Germany. Le Havre is situated at the mouth of the River Seine. Beaches Parls. The Western Railway of France (Chemin de For de l'Quest) under control of the government (therefore also called the Cholin de Per de l'Et al) passes along this meandering stream, crossing and recrossing it some seven times. The most important city between Le Havre and the capital is the old historic Rouen, where in 1431 it at Arc was burned at the stake and length we entered the northeastern environs of Paris and disembark at the St. Lazare station (Gare St. Lazare, or Gare de l'Ouest). The sensations felt by me on this first day in France, but particularly on my arrival in Paris, must be left to the lively imagination. It were vain to attempt to describe it. Despite the eight days on the water interposed between the accustomed scenes and those of the epochal first day in "La capitale de la civilization," the transposition seemed abrupt. ```markdown ``` Realizes Long Cherished Ambition. It was the realization of a long cherished ambition, but the dream of earlier years was yet like a dream even in its realization! Nevertheless the glamor of the first few days was soon to be worn away by the successes and impressions, as the business of looking things over progressed. Naturally, my first thought was of the medical schools and hospitals. In due time satisfactory arrangements as to this work were made. But insumuch as a detailed account of these matters would hardly be apt to enlist the interest of the general reader, I shall confine myself to merely occasional allusions to it. It may not be considered amiss to make a general comparison between hospitals of Europe and America, and an attempt to do this will be made later. Universities Are Closed. Universities Are Closed. At this time of the year (August) people here tell you Paris is dead. The standard theaters are for the most part closed, the fashionable people all at the resorts and in the country, the schools and the universities are suspended, and the faculties are "en vacance." However, the medical man seeking postgraduate work finds what he wishes in the "course de vacance," vacation courses, in every branch of medicine and surgery. The clinical material for study is abundant, and the individuality of the "patients is not so strong as in America and free use is made of the dispensary clientele for purpose of study. Must Know Some French. The observer whose time limit is measured by weeks, rather than by months and years, experiences a sense of bewilderment as to where first to direct his attention, so multiple and various are the centers of attraction. Eye single and unimpressionable, indeed, must be the special student who can remain oblivious to the alluring opportunities for the study of history, esthetics and humanity which Paris offers. Indeed, to do so is to ignore an important side of the educational benefit of a visit thereto. Except for those seeking amusement purely, it is absurd to come to Paris with less than a reading knowledge of French. THE STORK LIMITED Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Emanuel Receive the Latest Visit from This Fast Traveler. On Tuesday morning a Defender reporter met Mr. Floyd Emanuel, and as he knew his hours for business, asked if he wasn't very late. But all the reply he received was a deep, golden smile. Finally the reporter became alarmed because of the silence, and while he was meditating how to break the spell Mr. Emanuel presented a pacifier and managed, to say, "Now guess," and when the reporter guessed that the Stork Limited had stopped at his station, he said: "Correct. He stopped at 8 o'clock this morning and left a fine nine pound baby boy." Then the reporter was able to account for his abnormal actions. MRS.

JACK JOHNSON ALWAYS ON THE SQUARE Tom Flanagan, White Sporting Writer, Pays the Champion Heavyweight Pugilist a Magnificent Compliment in the Evening Telegram, Published in Toronto, Canada—"As a Fighter Jack Johnson Is as Straight as a String; No Amount of Money Ever Tempted Him to Lay Down; When He Defeated Jim Jeffries He Incurred the Enmity of the Whites." HOUNDED BY WOMEN EVERYWHERE—TORON- TO NO EXCEPTION The Champion Is Human—Let Every Man Look to His Own Fences and Put the Question Straight to His Own Conscience, and If He Can Say He Would Conduct Himself Better than Johnson Has Done Let Him Cast Stones—Otherwise Remain Silent—But He Is Black and Naturally Can Never Hope for Much Justice Across the Line. [Special to the Chicago Defender, Toronto, Canada, Nov. 28.—Under date of November 12 the Evening Telegraph published in this city, printed an article in a sporing page entitled "Tom Flanagan on Johnson." Tom Flanagan is a famous white sporting writer and the article in question is considered a magnificent tribute to the champion. The article follows: The troubles of Jack Johnson are meat and drink for the old women of the sporting world. Every day I am approached and my connection with the champion as his manager, taken as an excuse for asking my opinion of the whole affair. In fact I am taken to task for ever having had anything to do with such a man. A fellow doesn't care to discuss this sort of thing with anybody and everybody. It is most unfortunate that anything of the kind ever happened. But you will notice that the strongest condemnation usually comes from those who can least bear the light of day on their own morals. In giving to the public my views on the whole lamentable affair I want to be understood as in no way condemning the conduct of Jack Johnson from a moral viewpoint. He has evidently sinned. I have often thought how many of these gentlemen who have been so keen to denounce the big champion are spotless morally themselves. Never Forgiven for Defeating Jeffries. Jack Johnson has never been forgiven his defeat of Jim Jeffries. He was forced to give battle to the boilermaker in the full expectation that Jeffries would eat him alive. On that fatal day at Reno Jack Johnson, by crumpling up the carcass of Jim Jeffries, made for himself enemies by the thousand. There wasn't and isn't a white man in sight that could or can even compare with the big black fellow. That was Jack Johnson's fatal slip. He could have laid down to Jeffries and retired independently rich. He didn't because Johnson was a cleaner and better sport than the gang of white gamesters who had hoped to clean up on the trusting public. Jack Johnson as a fighter has been as straight as a string in the face of money temptation that few white men could or would withstand. That was another terrible sin. He refused to so in cactus with these white crooks. I don't say that these fellows are the loudest in clamoring for Johnson's blood. Always on the Level. I know Johnson is on the level as a sport and fighter. I never met a man who could be more depended on to do his best in training or in fighting. More than that, I defy any man who has met the big Negro to say that he was ever boastful or made himself obnoxious with any overbearing manner. He was always confident and would tell you what he thought he could do—but remember that he really could do all he said, and what is more, he did it when the time came. There is no doubt but that the men who are after Johnson will drive him from Chicago. It is nothing short of persecution, marking the vast difference between the American brand of justice and what he would get under the British flag. Johnson may have sinned against morality. How many of the gentlemen who are hounding him have been any cleaner? Jack Johnson is black and they are white. There seems to be a separate code of morality for whites and blacks in the United States and Johnson is the goat. I do not pretend to defend him in any wrong, but I do say that the gentlemen who are loudest in his condemnation might not be the stanchest in looking after their own morals under like temptation. Hounded By Women Everywhere Jack Johnson is no saint, I am free to admit. He is a strong, healthy man. Some people may be surprised to know that the famous pugilist has actually been hounded by women in nearly every city he has visited—white women, supposedly respectable. Toronto is no exception. Place some of Johnson's bitterest accusers in similar positions and guess the answer. Whatever falls he may have had in his way are, of course, no credit to him. But he is human. Let every man look to his own fences and put the question straight to his own conscience and if he can say he would conduct himself than Johnson has done let him cast stones—otherwise remain silent. No Justice in the U. S. In all my dealings with the champion I have always found him fair, honest, and quite up to the average white man in all things. I must speak as I found him. He is black, and naturally can never hope for much justice across the line. When he does get clear in Chicago I expect he will go to France and other European countries and fight anybody willing to face him. Johnson is as great a champion as ever stepped into a ring—but he is black. Give him his due as a fighter and judge him on moral grounds as you would yourself. THE VALUE OF NEATNESS Soiled Linen, Runover Heels and Unkept Finger Nails Have Kept Many Worthy and Competent Persons Out of the Badway—Barely a Little Details in Manners and Drama. By Julius N. Avendorph. While it is an unquestionable fact that clothes do not make the man, yet a well dressed man has got nine chances to get a good position to the untidy man's one. At first sight it may seem hasty or imperficial to judge men or women by their clothes, but experience has proved again and again that they do, as a rule, measure the sense and self-respect of the wearer, and aspirants to success should give thoughtful consideration to their appearance and be as careful in choosing their dress as their companions. High ideals and strong, clean, wholesome lives and work are incompatible with low standards of personal cleanliness. A person who will neglect their bath and linen will neglect their mind; they will quickly deteriorate in every way. A young woman who ceases to care for her personal appearance in minute detail will soon cease to please. She will fall little by little until she degenerates and becomes unattractive. The importance of attending to little details, the perfection of which really constitutes the well dressed man or woman, is well illustrated through the failure of a woman whom I knew to secure a good position. This young woman had made application for the position and was recommended by some of the leading business men in the city, when she was sent for in order that the president of the firm might have a talk with her, which proved very satisfactory—that is, so far as her general manner and fitness for the position was concerned, but she never secured the position. Long afterward, when questioned by the party who sent the young woman to his friend as to why he refused to engage so competent a young woman, he replied it was a trifle, but a trifle in which, as in an Egyptian hieroglyphic, lay a volume of meaning. The young woman came to me fashionably and expensively dressed, with but torn and soiled gloves and half of the buttons off of her shoes. A Slovenly Woman Is Not Wanted. A slovenly woman is not fit for any position. This applicant never knew why she did not obtain the position, for she was well qualified to fill it in every respect, except in this seemingly unimportant matter of attention to the little details of dress. Hundreds of young people have failed to secure positions simply because they have not learned the art of appearing to advantage. A young man who drags his feet when he walks, who slouches in soiled, ill-fitting clothing, whose arms, lacking energy, dangle like strings from his shoulders, does not make a favorable impression upon a proprietor who looks an applicant over from head to foot, notices his carriage or manner, by every little thing pertaining to his or her makeup. Put Yourself in His Place. If an applicant when applying for a position could only read the employer's mind while talking to him he would learn a useful lesson; but, unfortunately, he usually goes away ignorant of those things which barred him from the coveted place. This may be a sly, furtive glance of the employer, or a vicious lack of self-control, or a vicious failure of may be a failure to look one straight in the eye; twirling the fingers or playing his cap while talking; it may be a soiled cuff or collar; it may be unkempt hair or finger nails; it may be an ill-fitting, slouchy suit; it may be that abominable habit and sickening odor of a cigarette, or it may be a score of other little things which influences the decision. Always Appear Neat. Employers like a neat appearing boy who walks briskly, speaks promptly and is quick and clean-cut in his replies to questions. Such indicates a bright, alert, quick mind. People with slow, irresponsive minds or slovenly bodies are not wanted in any position, let it be ever so menial. There is absolutely no excuse for solldining on any one. Shoes that need polishing or the heels fixed show positively untidiness. It's the little things, pure and simple, that count in one's general appearance, and nothing so detracts as badly worn heels on either man or woman. UNION NEWS CO.

If you can't get The Chicago Defender, let the Circulation Department know --- THE CHICAGO DEFENDER HER UNINVITED GUEST By WILLIAM BURTON. Always when she dreamed her favorite dream—that of some day living in an apartment of her own—she occupied her fancy more with the spare room than with any other. This was curious, inasmuch as she was a woman not much inclined to sociability, being fond of her own society. So why in fancy she should always be furnishing that spare chamber, laying the gray rug on its floor, hanging the dimity curtains and smoothing the Marseilles spread, she herself could not explain. She even arranged the books in the little white case, books calculated to put a guest in good humor with himself, books which would bring about that peaceful state of mind conducive to sleep. She would have no exciting novels, no passionate poems, no sociological frebrands in her guest chamber. There should be such volumes as "The Measure of the Hours" "Society and Solitude" "Sesame and Lillies." These would become the shelves and gratify a guest even if he never got beyond the titles. So when by a generous increase in her salary the apartment was made possible she took one with five rooms instead of four, because, as she told the agent, she "must have a spare room." The rooms of reality are never as well furnished as are those in the houses of our imagination. Still, her guest chamber was a marvel of whiteness and daintiness. There was a lovely gray hand woven flower bordered rug on the floor and a French striped paper with a pattern of thy rosebuds on the wall. The woodwork was white, and so were the little iron bed and the enameled dresser and the stiff chair. There was another chair, a rocker, covered with cretonne of much the same pattern as the paper, and it stood close to a low wicker table, on which was placed a small rainbow glass vase, an Indian basket and a few books. 'The covers of the books were of the same colors as those in the wall paper—pink, to match the buds, or green, to match the buds' leaves—and they looked like the kind of books one is proud to buy, but never has time to read. But "The Measure of the Hours" "Society and Solitude" and "Sesame and Lilies" stood up fresh and inviting. It was a conventional room, but it had cost much thought and self-delian to procure it. And it was ten times more costly than her own. But where was the guest? After three months of residence in her new home she had never turned down the Marseilles spread nor put flowers in the rainbow glass vase, nor brought out the guest towl that she herself had embroidered. Of course, all sorts of imaginary persons had occupied the room and expressed themselves as having slept and eased the sigh and of infancy, and of having felt a strong desire never to be obliged to emerge from the rose colored comforter and the Marseilles spread that covered it. Sometimes the guest was a cousin whom she had known in her childhood and who had gone through Harvard and was now practicing law in Boston; the rose comforter and the "Sesame and Lilies" would be none too fine for him. Then again it was an old friend of her father's, an aristocratic woman, who had visited them in the days of their prosperity, and who, being literary in her tastes, would be sure to appreciate the quality of the quilt and to pounce upon the "Sesame and Lilies." One day, a minute after she had closed the door on the grocer's shabby boy, who had consented to deliver her groceries after she had returned home at night, she heard a crash on the back porch and the sound of some one falling. She opened the door quickly and turned the electric light upon the white face of the boy who but a moment before had been explaining to her why he had brought white cornmeal instead of the yellow she had ordered. Now his face was as white as the meal and he looked as if he would never again deliver groceries. He was only a mite of a boy and she had little difficulty in getting him into the guest chamber and on top of the Marseilles spread, where he remained until the arrival of a strange doctor, who ordered that he be placed under this prized ceretel and that he remain there until able to be removed to his home. That was not until the end of the second week. Those two weeks she declared to be the happiest of her life, though the guest who occupied her spare chamber showed no interest either in books or bouquets. After he had gone she used to love to sit alone in the little rocker, staring meditatively at the backs of the books and at the roses on the wall. She was full of the story. She married the doctor and turned her back forever on the little room that never knew the presence of an invited guest. Yet she says that the spare chamber more than fulfilled its purpose—it brought into her life a guest who remained. Man the Ultimate Value. Property continually tends to become a more vivid idea than right. In the struggle for private accumulation the worth of every human being is overlooked. The importance of every man's progress is forgotten. We must content for this great idea. They who hold it must spread it around them. The truth must be sounded in the ears of man, that the grand end of society is to place within reach of all its members the means of improvement, of elevation, of the true happiness of man—Channing. Inconalstent. "It is odd that sailors and soldiers are so fickle in their love affairs." "Why is it odd?" "Because theirs are naturally cases of uniform affection." Classifying It. "Did you hear what the English visitor to the zoo said about the fight among the animals?" "No; what was it?" Not for Her. "But, madam," said the surgeon, after the woman had recovered consciousness in the hospital, "why didn't you stop when the crossing policeman held up his hand? Then you wouldn't have been struck by the automobile." "What! Me stop when Jim Meginni holds up his hand? I'd let you know I'm his wife, an' he never saw the day when he could boss me!"—Magazine of Fun. Marvel of Domestic Science Marvel of Domestic Science. A Kansas City girl recently added domestic science to her high school work, and was very boastful of her attalments in that direction, but one morning her coffee was so strong that no one could drink it. "I'm sure I don't understand why," she explained. "I thought that it looked too strong, so I put it back on the fire and boiled it half an hour to get the strength out." Conditions to Fear: Of one thing we may be certain, that our times of sorrow and dismay are but the natural signs that we are mounting fast—we need not fear them! What we have rather to fear are the times when we recline in indolent content.—A. C. Benson. Not Much Disconcerted. A workman on a building in New York city was recently buried under tons of earth. After being rescued he shook the sand from his clothing and announced that he was "all right" and resumed work with a shovel. Not Sought After. A great German doctor let it be known that he was blessed with a wife "who could make red hair as white as a lily," but no modern woman would wish to patronize her.

Ralph De Palma is the individual road racing champion of America for the season of 1912, and the car honors go to the Flat, according to the finding of the jury of critics, which passes upon such things, the American Automobile association declining to undertake the task of picking title holders. De Palma succeeds to the unofficial title, which in the past has been held by Harvey Herrick, Ralph Mulford and Bert Dingley, through having won four out of the five road races, in which he started last summer. Teddy Tetzlaff might be styled runner-up, because of his having won three firsts, while Harry Endicott is next with two. The 1912 road racing season wound up with the running of the Phoenix desert events, and following the dropping of the curtain the results of the year have been summarized by C. G. Sinsebaugh, chairman of the contest board of the Chicago Automobile club, who makes his report in the Motor Age. Critics will be surprised to find that 1912 wasn't so much of an "off" year as anticipated. There were twenty road races run as against twenty-seven in 1911. There were 156 entries in the twenty events, as against 202 the season previous, and the average number of starters was slightly in excess of 1911. The distances averaged greater, too, 232 as against 206. A better percentage of finishers, also, is reported, while the same number of makes of cars competed this year as last—forty-four. UMPIRES SELECT ALL-STARS UNUSUAL HANDICAP IN GOLF Evans and Klem Tell Who They Think Are the Best Players in Their Respective Leagues. Umpires in the major leagues are certainly in a good position to judge ball players. William Evans of the American league and Bill Klem of the National league have picked two all-star teams, one representing what Evans thinks is the best in the younger organization and the other in the topliness, to the mind of Klem. In the National league. These selections express the opinion of the arbiters as to the worth of each ball player and how each man has helped his club throughout the present season. The selection for the American league, by Billy Evans, is: Catcher—Stanage, Detroit. Pitcher—Johnson, Washington. Shortstop—Wagner, Boston. First Base—McInnis, Athletics. Second Base—Collins, Athletics. Third Base—Baker, Athletics. Right Field—Cobb, Detroit. Center Field—Speaker, Boston. Left Field—Jackson, Cleveland. Utility Infielder—Barry, Athletics. Utility Outfielder—Milan, Washington. That for the National league, by W. J. Klem, is: Catchers—Archer, Chicago; Meyers, New York. Pitchers—Mathewson, Marquard and Tesreau, New York; Rucker, Brooklyn. First Base—Daubert, Brooklyn. Second Base—Doyle, New York. Third Base—Zimmerman, Chicago. Shortstop—Wagner, Pittsburg. Outfielders—Bescher, Cincinnati; Magee, Philadelphia; Wilson, Pittsburgh; burgh; Schulte, Chicago. Utility Infielder—Sweeney, Boston. DIAMOND BELT TO WOLGAST Champion Is Presented With Valuable Trophy by Tom McCarey, San Francisco Promoter. Because of the unsatisfactory termination of the fight between Ad Wolgast and Joe Rivers for the lightweight championship on July 4, the A Champion Ad Wolgast diamond belt offered to the winner by Promoter Tom McCarey was withheld from the champion. McCarey since relented and as Wolgast was about to board a train for San Francisco, McCarey appeared and presented the champion with the belt, much to the surprise of the Cadillac battler. The belt, which is of gold gold and set with four large diamonds, is valued at $1,000. Noted Sprinters May Visit U. S. Louis Guertin, the professional all-round athlete of Boston, is to go to England to seek matches with Reggie Walker, Jack Donaldson or A. B. Postle, who rank among the world's speediest sprinters.

Extremely Nervous Player Unable to Play Good Game on Account of Anticipated Noise. An unusual golf handicap was played on one of the local links recently, the proponent of the same winning hands down. One of the rules of golf is that one must not talk to a player when he is about to make a drive, nor must others discuss any subject in his hearing. It might take his mind off the game for just an instant and that might be fatal. In Kansas City lives a crack but extremely nervous golf enthusiast. He had been in the habit of beating a fat and phlegmatic friend until the latter tired of it. "I'll tell you what I'll do," the friend said not long ago, "I will play you eighteen holes if you will give me a handicap." "Done," said the nervous player. "Name the handicap." "There times during the game, and not more than three, I am to be permitted to stand behind you and say 'Boo' while you are preparing to drive." Every time it was the nervous man's play his fat friend walked up and just stood behind him. Never once during the game did the fat man say "Boo!" or anything else. But the anticipation at the expected "Boo!" was fairly nerve-shattering, and the fat man won hands down.—Kansas City Journal. GOSSIP AMONG SPORTS Carl Morris has come back to earth knocking out some poor dub. Five years ago Jeff Tesreau was canned by the Ironton (Mo.) team. It is hoped that there will be no protest of any Wisconsin or Minnesota players this year. Football would be a great little sport, all right, if one could avoid the arguments afterward. Dan Johnson is said to have offered Hank O'Day a fat salary to work in his league next season. Dat Nelson is to be given a test, says a report. The owner of Hgewishus has always been ready for that. This seems to be a swell year for appointing shrimp managers. Note Miller Huggins and Johnny Evers. Now billiards comes to the front with a wrangle. It was thought billiards came close to sportsmanship. Memphis has purchased Shortstop William Oriet of the champion Missoula team of the Union association. Chief Bender was a big hero in 1811; he is mentioned for sale or trade in 1912. Fame is fleeting in baseball, too. The only thing one can tell by odds on football games is that usually one school has more money than the other. Morris Rath, the Sox's little second baseman, was the busiest toller last season. Morris appeared in 157 games. The worst of football is the deadly "what might have been" conversations one is obliged to listen to the next day. Mordecai Brown may be out of the national pastime for keeps, but he will never be out of the hearts of the Chicago fans. In the talk of a possible sale of the Buffalo International league club, it is stated that the price put on the property was $75,000. It is easy to say that a football team is a good fighter as it is to say a person has a good heart—and that's the last thing one can say. In an effort to boom his administration, friends of Miller Huggins are preparing a rough road for him by claiming the pennant for the Cardinals. Evidently this visiting Japanese billiard player is as proficient in his profession as most of his countrymen are in their particular lines of work. THE WORLD OF SPORTS FOOTBALL BASEBALL BASKETBALL FOOTBALL IN COLLEGES AN HIGH SCHOOLS IN AND AROUND CHICAGO. By Julius N. Avendorph. Not since the year of 1905, when Minnesota beat Chicago by a score of 4 to 2 have there been as much interest shown in the west as there was Saturday last when Minnesota met Chicago at Marshall Field campus in the deciding game for second place of the conference teams in the championship race. Wisconsin, the western champions of 1912, proved to be in a class by themselves, therefore the fight was between Chicago and Minnesota for second place. There was something like fifteen thousand people out on last Saturday to see the battle; and no one was disappointed so far as the contest went, as it could not have been a better finish to the local season. Stagg once more showed that he was a master of the game; notwithstanding at the end of the first half the score stood 0 to 0. The most partisan person had absolutely no reason to complain, as it was the best game of the 1912 season. It is perfectly natural for the fellow who happens to be rooting for the losing team to have a complaint, that is unless he is an unusually big hearted fellow, and there are any number of them in the sporting world. At the end of the first half, it was difficult to tell wherein lay the superiority which enabled Chicago to win, but from the beginning of the first quarter of the second half Chicago team showed they were better than Minnesota in every department. Scremmaging, kicking, forward pass and defensively, Chicago was given one penalty of fifteen yards for holding and three of five yards, each for off side, making a total of thirty-five yards. Minnesota was given one fifteen yards for holding and two five yards each for off side, making a total of twenty-five yards. Chicago made her gains by the better judgment in the use of plays. Quarter back Lawer, contrary to all expectations, played a sensational game. Norgren, as usual, played a star game, and he has been chosen for captain of the 1913 team, the highest honor that a football team can bestow on one of its fellow players. Chicago's exhibition of defensive play was the best they have shown two seasons. There never was a chance for Minnesota to gain by open field plays and the line always taken a brace and held whenever Minnesota gave the slightest indication of becoming dangerous. Both teams played an excellent offensive game. Chicago as well as Minnesota will be hard teams to beat next season, and I might add that I believe Minnesota will be the hardest proposition in the conference; and if Michigan comes back into the folds, which from present indications she will, there will be a renewed interest in football next season. The new concrete grandstand and general improvements which are under way at the Marshall Field ground when completed will give Marshall Field Chicago University Campus first place in the west and second only to Yale's new stadium when finished, which is to seat sixty thousand people. It was a beautiful sight to see that mass of human souls gathered together for one purpose and all in accord with each other, cheering and laughing and talking and waving their colors in the interest of their favorites. Yell masters, leading the students of the two colleges in their yells, occupying either side of the field with the college bands, putting forth their best efforts trying to outdo the other, and some twenty-five students all dressed up in different costumes from the minstrel character to grand opera out on the field between halves going through different pranks for the amusement of the crowd, which all went to make it a gala afternoon, and those who missed all this and including the game do not realize what they missed. The final score was 7 to 0 in favor of Chicago. FISK WINS FROM TUSKEGEE. Tuskegee, Ala, Nov. 29.—By a score of 7 to 6, Fisk University won from Tuskegee Saturday, Nov. 23, in their annual football contest. This was the fourth game between these institutions and Tuskegee's first loss. Fisk excelled in punting and forward passes; Tuskegee was superior at straight football. Tuskegee used the forward pass twice only, and the second attempt scored from the 15-yard line. Fisk scored early in the first quarter. A punt from Tuskegee's 40-yard line bounded over Tuskegee's goal. Tuskegee fumbled and Fisk fell upon the ball. An easy goal gave the visitors the winning point. The referee's whistle at the end of the second half prevented Tuskegee from scoring another touchdown, as the ball had been brought within 7 yards of the Fisk goal. Fisk never during the last three quarters came within striking distance of Tuskegee's goal. Booker T. Washington, Jr., was captain for Fisk and played a consistent game for his team at full back. A large body of students from the Alabama Polytechnic Institute for white young men at Alabama came down to witness the contest, and several of them acted as officials. HAMPTON WINS FROM LINCOLN, 10 TO 6. By Hamlin Nelson, Hampton '98, Hampton, Va., Nov. 29. "The annual game of football between Hampton and Lincoln University was played upon Hampton's campus on Nov. 15, which resulted in a victory for Hampton by the score of 10 to 6. This was one of the most brilliant games of the season. In the first quarter of the game neither team was able to score. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Both teams showed wonderful strength in both their offensive and defensive work. The most striking feature of the whole game came in the first part of the second quarter when Bender made a forward pass of 35 yards to Jones, who "got away" and carried the ball over Lincoln's goal for the first touchdown for Hampton. Jamison kicked an easy goal with the score of 7 to 0. Hampton seemed to gain new life. Bender and Jones made another forward pass of 30 yards after a few line rushes and the ball was placed on Lincoln's 25-yard line. From Lincoln's 30-yard line Bender made a beautiful goal from a drop kick, when made the score 10 to 0. One of the most sensational plays of this quarter was a run of 75 yards by Shearer around Lincoln's right end. In the third quarter neither side was able to score and it looked as though Lincoln would not be able to carry the pig skin over Hampton's goal. At the end of this quarter Hampton had managed to work the ball to Lincoln's 8-yard line. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Hampton having only 8 yards to gain, Lincoln seemed to realize what danger her goal was in and fought like tigers to keep the Hampton boys from scoring another touchdown. After four repeated rushes, Hampton lost the ball on Lincoln's 2-yard line. Lincoln kicked to Bender who advanced the ball 15 yards. Hampton fumbled and Lincoln covered the ball, Lincoln failed to make her gains and was forced to kick. Hampton received the ball and advanced it 15 yards. Hampton tried a forward pass which was interrupted by a Lincoln player who made a 10-yard run. Lincoln worked the ball to Hampton's 5-yard line, where she was held for downs. Hampton was penalized for being off side which gave Lincoln first down on Hampton's 2-yard line, from which point she was able to rush the ball over for a touchdown. She failed to kick the goal. This made the score 10 to 6. Neither side was able to score after this. The visiting team fought hard but she was undoubtedly outplayed by the home boys in the first three quarters of the game. In the last quarter Lincoln put up a great game, making forward passes time after time for good gains, and doing effective work through Hampton's line, but before she was able to place the pig skin over Hampton's goal for a second touchdown the official threw up his hand, which meant that the time was up. Hampton's rooters went wild, while a shadow of gloom seemed to hang over the admirers of Lincoln. The game was one of the finest and cleanest ever witnessed on Hampton's gridiron, and the followers of the sport left the field feeling that the best team had won. The line-up was as folows: Hampton— Lincoln— Jones ... l. e. Jamison Gayle ... l. t. Goss Stony ... l. g. Wallace Warner (capt.) c. Thompkins Alken ... r. g. Hilton Wildy ... r. t. Bullock Scott ... r. e. Barnum Hall, Jamison. l. h. Wheaton Flynt ... f. b. Townsend Oliver, Shearer. r. h. Goss, Dunn Bender ... q. (capt.) Collins Officials—Messrs. Robinson, Oberlin, referees; Henderson, M Street High school, umpire; Cooperage, Howard, linesmen. Tuchdowns—Jones and Wheaton. Goal from field—Bender. Goal from placemen—Jamison. Time — Four fifteen minute quarters. Score — Hampton 10, Lincoln 6. Mr. Frank Young, formerly on the sporting staff of The Defender, has been given his unconditional release. W. R. Sobers, our popular tailor and society man, is a great admirer of football, and he has attended every game played on Marshall Field this season. The attendants, officials and half of the teams know Mr. Sobers. Julius N. Avendorph was his guest on last Saturday at the game between Chicago and Minnesota. These two gentlemen hope to be in Minneapolis next November when the same two teams meet. Several rooters were here in attendance at the game from Minneapolis last Saturday which goes to show that we mix on all occasions, even though in very small numbers. Northwestern's victory over Illinois by a score of 6 to 0 was somewhat of a surprise, notwithstanding the Evanston boys had been coming strong in the last two weeks. The victory is all the more gratifying to us on account of Roy Young, former tackle on Northwestern, assisting in the coaching of this season's team. Young was among the best tackles in the west. There is nothing I can add to what I said last week pertaining to the colored young men playing on the major and minor teams of the High School league. In the major division, Oak Park was in a class by themselves and made a record that will stand for years, by winning the High School Cook County championship for the third consecutive year. Among the minors, Oak Park is leading but they cannot claim the championship of that section, as Lake View is in second place with a tie game yet to be played with Crane on Saturday. Should Lake View win they will be tied with Oak Park, thereby making it necessary for Oak Park and Lake View to play off the tie, which will decide the championship of the minor section of the league. While there has been nothing sensational about the playing of the colored young men on the various teams, and we have more this season than ever before, it is nevertheless a high compliment to them to have shown the ability to make the teams which is also an indication, or in other words SPORTING NEWS FROM THE COLLEGES —EXPERT COMMENT a fact, that they were several points better than their white opponent; doesn't that show that any of them would be deserving of being put on a first all star high school team. As I have said on other occasions, relationship or sentiment have absolutely no influence over me in these articles. Therefore, notwithstanding Jones is a relative of mine, and he has received more consideration from the white critics, including last Sunday, than any other colored young man playing on a Cook County high school team, he would not be my selection for a first all star team. My selection for a Defender all star second high school team is as follows: Moseley, Englewood, left end; Walter, Evanston Academy, right end; Delaney, Lane, left tackle; Essig, Wendell Phillips, right tackle; Howe, Oak Park, center; Jones, Lake High, quartback; Huber, Lane, right guard; Brelos, Oak Park, left guard; Shiley, Oak Park, right halfback; Motley, Englewood, left halfback; Koehler, Hyde Park, full back. The young man referred to in Mr. Avendorph's article on football in last week's issue, by tae name of Hall, should have been Walker of Evanston Academy, which was an oversight as the request for the change was made before the paper went to press last week.

Milwaukee Wis. FITIFUL LENWOOD TERY --- Better Facilities Needed In Rural School Districts Tuskegee and Hampton in a Plea for Better Conditions in Educating Children. There Are Many Aids to the Work, But There Must Be a Concentrated Effort in Individual Communities. City of Evanston ```markdown ``` Tuskogee, Ala., Nov. 29.—This season of the year, for several years, I have spoken a word to you regarding the importance of building up a good, first-class school in every community. Plans are on the way by which during the third week in October, 1913, the colored people throughout the United States will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of their actual freedom as a race. In this connection it is of the greatest importance that we be able to show to the world the progress that we have made in sustaining and building up first-class public schools, especially in the rural districts. During the last fifty years we have succeeded in reducing our ignorance from 97 per cent to 30 per cent. This is a fine showing for fifty years of freedom. We must not stop, we must go further. The greatest points of weakness just now are in the small country districts. In every case where there are already proper school facilities the business men, together with the ministers and teachers, should appeal constantly to the public school authorities to see that better provisions are made. Unless we look out for ourselves, we cannot expect other people to do so. As an illustration of what united and constant effort can accomplish, I would state that during the last five years the colored people in Macon county, Alabama, have contributed $12,133.05 toward the building of new schoolhouses; in addition they have contributed $14,000 toward the extension of school terms in the county. The result is that nearly every school district in Macon county has a first-class schoolhouse, well painted and well furnished; the school term has been extended from four to seven months in the year, and the people are continuing to contribute in the way of extra taxation toward the upkeep of public schools. Something of this kind can be done in every county in the south where there are not satisfactory facilities. In order to indicate the problem that is before us, I understand, on good authority, that in Louisiana in one parish where there are 8,000 colored people, there is no school building in the entire parish. Of course, such a condition means ignorance, and ignorance means poverty and poverty means crime. We must not cease to agitate the question of education, to keep the white people in our communities informed concerning our educational interests and desires. We cannot get something for nothing. It is only through constant effort that we shall get education for our children. While in many parts of the south the educational opportunities are so few that it is almost discouraging, in other sections the outlook is bright. For example, at a meeting of the county superintendents of Alabama called by the state superintendent of education in Montgomery a few days ago, the following sentiment, relating to the Negro, was unanimously endorsed: "By providing him with schools and churches instead of polson and whiskey, he will make a better and more useful citizen, according to one delegate present. Others expressed their opinion on the Negroes' relation to education, and it was the unanimous opinion that the race should be aided as much as possible by the state." It is encouraging to note, too, that in many counties in the south the teachers are under the supervision and guidance of Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the Anna T. Jeanes Fund, and are doing much to improve the education of the race and to bring about better relations between black and white people. These Jeanes Fund teachers should have the constant support and co-operation of our leaders wherever they are at work. In conclusion, let me urge ministers, teachers, business men, women's clubs, and all classes to unite and make this a banner year in the matter of improving the public schools for our race. BOOKER T.

Hampton, Va., Nov. 29.—The November issue of the Southern Workman (published by the Hampton Institute Press) contains some important educational articles, especially in regard to rural schools. One of these articles, that by President Houston of Washington University, St. Louis, is a serious arraignment of the educational system of the country as applied to rural conditions. "The Needs of Negro Rural Life in Virginia" by J. M. Gandy, executive secretary of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia, presents interesting facts and figures in regard to conditions among the Negroes of that state. This number also has a paper compiled from reports given at the recent meeting of the National Negro Business League containing stories of successes in business won by Negroes which are typical of the unusual progress that the men of this race have been quietly and persistently making in the face of heavy odds. A suggestive and interesting contribution is "Progress for the Indian" by Arthur C. Parker, archaeologist of New York State, who is himself of Indian blood and was a prominent figure at the recent conference of the Society of American Indians held in Columbus, Ohio, an interesting report of which may also be found in this number of the Southern Workman. Mr. Parker advocates the establishment of a college for Indians where they may study their own history, literature and art, and thus prevent the race from becoming "de-Indianized. Among the other contributions are an illustrated article on the Eskimos by Harlan I. Smith, one of the Dominion anthropologists stationed at Ottawa, Canada, and a paper entitled "Among the Igorrotes" also illustrated. The latter treats of one of the wild tribes of the Philippines. "The Case of the Pueblos"—an Indian tribe now execling special interest among anthropologists and friends of the Indian—is treated editorially. What are some of the facts about the condition of Negro public education in Virginia? There are about 2,200 Negro public schools in the state. Of this number a conservative estimate would give 2,000 of them as one-room schools. Many of the schools have no home at all. They are carried on in rented halls, or in old shacks and log cabins. In one county that we visited, a school was held in one room of an abandoned Negro dwelling house. This house was box shaped and cut up crosswise into three rooms. A sill, in the room in which the school was held, was broken on one side, throwing up the floor in the middle of the room. Every pane of glass was out of the window, the door could not be closed, and the walls of the room were black with smoke, dirt and cobwebs. The teacher's chair was without bottom, her table was made of an old drygoods box, very roughly put together, the benches on which the children sat would not stand upright except when the children were sitting on them, and the stove was so full of holes that it hardly held the fire. The whole place was reeking with odors and smells common to old, discarded houses where old shoes, rags, and a thousand other things are left around. This is one of the worst types of schoolhouses in the state, yet there are many of its kind. Much has been done during the last ten years in the rural districts in school decoration and improvement by the untiring and unselfish efforts of Mr. Thomas C. Walker and others, yet because of the extensiveness of the field and the difficulties of the work, much yet remains to be done in this direction.-J. M. Gandy in the Southern Workman.

"I don't see why so much fuss is made about taking care of a child," said Uncle Dick to himself when the mother and aunts had departed. But after a half hour of play with his small charge Uncle Dick was exhausted and wanted to read. "I want to go out and play in the yard," said the child. That suited Uncle Dick. "I want my hat," she said. "All right. What sort of looking hat is it?" Uncle Dick did not know the Sunday hat from the every day hat and was afraid to take a chance. The child decided to write a letter. "Does de-e-r spell dear, Uncle Dick?" "Yes." "How do you spell Annie, Uncle Dick?" "A-n-n-e." "Dear Annie." 'Is that the kind of dear you mean? That's d-e-a-r. I told you wrong.' "Dear Annie, we were—" How do you spell were, w-a-r-e?" "Not this time, baby. W-e-r-e this time." "We were at the park.' How do you spell park?" "P-a-r-k." "Is it that way all the time?" "Yes. I don't know of any exceptions. You see, I don't know much about spelling. Spell any old way. I'm going to read." "Uick Dick—Uick Dick!" "Yes? What do you want this time?" "What did mother say she would bring me?" "I don't know." "Yes, you heard her. She said she was going to bring me something." "Well, I'm sorry, but I've forgotten. You see, I'm not like your mother. I can't act as memorandum book and dictionary, and all that. I'm only plain, ordinary Uncle Dick. I don't know much more than you do." "Oh, Uncle Dick—Uncle Dick! I'm bloodthirsty!" "That so? You don't look it." That so? You don't look it. "I am! My tooth's loose and it's bleeding and I can taste it. It's fine! I must be bloodthirsty." "You are descended from pirates. That's what makes you like that. Now, if you'll keep quiet for half an hour so I can read I will take you to the ice cream soda place and get you some ice cream soda. But you'll have to be quiet for half an hour to get the soda." When the mother returned all was quiet. She came in with a smile. "Where's the child?" she asked. "Oh, she's—er—around here somewhere," said Uncle Dick. The mother went out. Suddenly there were sounds of the baby angry and abused and sounds of the mother equally angry and abused. "You know you are not allowed in my bureau drawers! And the top drawer especially! And just look at my gloves? And my watch! And grandmother's medaillon! And my necklace! What haven't you been into!" Uncle Dick stepped in to remonstrate. "Now, look here, Emma! All the time you were gone the child has been perfectly happy! Not a sound out of her. But as soon as you get back there is all this fuss!" "Perfectly happy! No doubt! And no wonder! Look at what she has been allowed to play with! Laces and ribbons and precious old jewelry and everything else. She knew better than that!" Uncle Dick retired. Soon he was joined by the child. She was in disgrace, and evidently felt it keenly. Uncle Dick took her in his arms and seated her upon his knee. This seemed not quite proper to the child. "I've been bad, haven't I, Uncle Dick?" "Yes, I think so." "Do you love bad girls?" "You bet I do!" When the mother came into the room the child was still in Uncle Dick's lap. His arms were tight around her and their heads were close together. "You oughtn't to pet me except when I'm good," the child was saying. "Well, you see, I don't have to handle that end of it, either," returned Uncle Dick. "Your mother looks after that along with the dictionary and memorandum stunts. I am only your Uncle Dick, and you have to give me something easy." The mother sat down beside them. "Are you two rapscallions talking about me?" she demanded. "Yes," answered Uncle Dick, "we are, respectfully and in tones of awe." What He Wanted Mr. Pounds, the retired grocer, was very proud of his new country estate. He spared no expense in doing things well. Judge, then, of his delight when a pair of rooks began building a nest in his park! But the farmer who owned the next land was not so pleased. In fact, he disliked rooks. So he gave his sons orders to shoot the offending birds. Along came Mr. Pounds, enraged. "See here, my man," he said, fiercely. "I wish those lads of yours would let my birds alone. I'm trying to make a rookery, and."—"That's all right, sir," replied the sturdy son of the soil. "But I wish your rooks would let my crops alone. I be trying to make a living." Saving the Umbrella. It had been simply deluging the streets all day. Jakey's chum trailed to the desk, his coat dripping to a degree almost indicative of an on-coming Johnstown flood. "Please, teacher, can Jakey and me stay down by the furnace until we get dry" he begged. "By all means" responded the teacher, "but Sammy, didn't either of you have an umbrella! It's been raining all night and all morning." "Sure, teacher," came the ready answer, "Jakey he had an umbrella, but it was a brand new one and he didn't want to get it wet." THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Huhlenberg College Team Told of Its Ancient Origin—Played at Least as Early as 750 B. C. In the small hours, at the close of the banquet given by Allentown gridiron enthusiasts to the Muhlenberg football team, the players got together and elected George Bixler of Easton as captain for next year, to succeed Savacol, who will graduate in June. Bixler has been playing right end and his fleet legs and his punting ability were responsible for more than one victory this year. The feature of the banquet was the address of Professor Reese, the faculty member of the Athletic association, who presented the letter and sweaters. Professor Reese declared that football is the oldest game, and the one with the widest-vogue through all the world's history. He quoted Scripture to show that the game was played at least as early as 750 B. C., during Homer's time, and among the Spartans in Greece; then later in Rome, and finally being introduced in America in 1608. The Eskimos and the South Sea islanders play the game. In 1315 Edward II, of England issued a decree abolishing the game, as did also later sovereigns of England. During the reign of Augustus in Rome he ordered the rules of the game revised because the game at the time was considered too mild. "Shakespeare, Chaucer, Addison, Izaak Walton, Cooper and others all advocated football," continued Professor Reese, "showing that thinking men of their time thought well of the game, the same as thinking men of today think and speak well of it. The so-called new game or new method of playing the game is nothing but an evolution of the old, and is not new at all. Its long-continued uninterrupted history shows that it is a game of great vitality, making of its players fine physical specimens and inoculating in them not only true sportsmanship, but manliness as well." There is rejoicing in Allentown over news from Easton that Lafayette has put Muhlenberg on its football schedule for next year.

FULTZ IS HEAD OF PLAYERS Former Major League Star Elected President of New Organization—Other Officers Selected. Directors of the baseball players' fraternity elected David L. Fultz, the former big league star, president of the organization at a meeting in New York the other day. Other officers were chosen and the plans on which the organization is to be conducted outlined. Every club in the National and American leagues was represented except the two Boston clubs and Cleveland. The officers elected are: Vice Presidents—Christy Mathewson, Edward Sweeney, Michael Doolan and Tyrus Cobb. Secretary—Jacob Daubert. No treasurer was elected. It was announced the fraternity will not apply for representation on the national commission. Resolutions were adopted requesting the national commission to invest umpires with authority to effect from ball grounds any spectator who abuses a player during a game and declaring that the fraternity was unalterably opposed to all forms of contract violation, all acts of rowdism on or off the field, and all acts of any nature whatever committed that may have a tendency to impair a player's ability.

Liverpool Opens Public Golf Liverpool Opens Public Golf Course. Liverpool's first municipal golf links have been thrown open, to the public. The green fee is sixpence per round of 16 holes, and this applies to all corners. BY JOHN KANE. Young Whitman, who lives in a suburb, was standing with his back to the approaching train one morning, peacefully gazing upon the autumnal landscape, with a bundle of newspapers under his arm—it was young Whitman's habit to buy all the newspapers in order to get what he called a broad point of view—when he felt a slight tug at the topmost paper. Instinctively he tightened his grip. There was another tug, this time a more decided one. It was also slightly impatient, and it was successful. As the newspaper slipped from under his arm young Whitman was aware that a coin was being pressed into his hand. He turned just in time to catch a glimpse of a pink, softly curved cheek under an engulfing hat, and to see the young woman defy whip her spoils into a shape convenient for carrying as she ran. Before he could recover his breath sufficiently to call to her his assailant had become lost in the crowd that was boarding the train. All he could be sure of was the plink cheek, a hat that looked to his bewildered masculine eye like all the other hats that were bobbing about the station and a blue serge suit. Young Whitman looked at the coin in his hand; then he looked at the newspapers that remained under his arm. She had taken his favorite, the one that he really depended upon for his literary meal. Then he looked up into the grinning countenance of a neighbor. "Took you for a newsboy, did she?" chorted the neighbor. Once more young Whitman looked down at the money in his hand. He held it out helplessly. "Can you beat that?" he said dazedly. In spite of his loss, the memory of that pink check remained pleasantly with young Whitman for some time. For its sake he took a decided interest in nondescript hats and blue serge suits for several weeks afterward. Probably it was this newly developed interest that made him notice one evening in the street car which was bearing him and a number of others over to his station that directly in front of him sat a pink-cheeked wearer of a blue serge suit and a hat of the kind already inadequately described. He was some little distance behind the young woman and when on getting out he passed the seat in which she had been sitting he saw that she had left a parcel lying there. He seized the parcel and made after the owner. "I beg your pardon," he said, raising his hat, "but I think you left this in the car." The girl looked down at the parcel. "It is mine," she said. "Thank you ever so much." She moved to the sidewalk and a little way out of the crowd without taking the parcel. Then she opened and plunged her hand into the recesses of an enormous handhug. After a more or less prolonged "scrabble" among its contents she brought forth a small purse. She scanned its contents eagerly. "Dear me," young Whitman heard her murmur. "I haven't a thing but a quarter. I suppose I'll have to give him that." The parcel was taken from him with hasty courtesy. Once more he felt a coin pressed into his hand. A vaguely impersonal voice breathed. "Thank you ever so much," and the owner of the parcel had disappeared trainward. Young Whitman stood still, pondering. "I bet you anything," he remarked, presently, to himself, "that that is the very same girl. It is fate!" Nimbly and shamelessly he rushed into the train, searched until he found the girl in the blue serge suit, and then seated himself directly behind her. He was determined that he would at least know her next time they met. He was so confident that another meeting had been arranged by fate that he felt no surprise when upon going over to call some evenings later upon his friends the Parkinsons he found there the girl of the tips. Mrs. Parkinson presented him to her, informing him that the girl was Parkinsons's sister, and that she was going to pass the winter with them. The rest followed naturally enough. They are married now. "My dear," young Mrs. Whitman says whenever her husband starts to tell the story of their early encounters, "really, the only thing I noticed about him each time was his shoes—they were shockingly rusty and worn. If you could have seen them! He insists that I said a quarter was too much for him, but, as a matter of fact, I would have gladly given him more, for his shoes looked as if he must be hungry. I'm glad I married him anyway, for now I make him keep his shoes looking respectable."—Chicago Dally News. Pollte but Empty. The age when we boasted of holding our own opinions is past. Today, if we possess any view at all, it is not usual to express them. This is a polite, a non-controversial age, one in which one fears to confess to strong feelings. To hold one's own opinion is to risk being called opionated, and the world today would avoid that at all costs. Our conversation has degenerated into a state of non-committal phraseology, and a superficial amblability is the right note to strike. Amitable we must be, the world demands it; argument is the worst of form. There was a time when two subjects only—politics and religion—were held taboo; today all subjects that may lead to dissension are to be avoided.—London Mirror. Contentment. Agar sald, "Give me neither poverty nor riches," and this will ever be the prayer of the wise. Our incomes should be like our shoes; if too small, they will gall and pinch us; but if too large, they will cause us to stumble and to trip. But wealth, after all, is a relative thing, since he who has little, and wants less, is richer than he who has much, but wants more. True contentment depends not upon what we have, but upon what we would have—a tub was large enough for Diogenes, but a world was too little for Alexander.

It tells why Amber light enhances harmonies of dress and decoration - why Amber light makes the skin look soft and smooth - why Mary Garden demands Amber light when she sings - why professional shooting experts wear Amber glasses and why Amber light is most soothing to the eyes. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC মিল মিল মিল THE GRAND. Last Half—Thursday, Nov. 21. The above named half was as a whole good but lacked the usual laudable numbers given by the noteworthy Grand management. But such things will happen in the best regulated ventures. First Half—Monday, Nov. 25. Fink's Comedy Circus was fine. Each animal having been educated to perform tricks most laughable, Prince and Deerie, singers and dancers, were very good and their telephone song was quite unique. Helen Pingree and company gave a splendid comedy force entitled "The Girl and the Coach." Stanley and Ward were most amusing in their song, dance and talking skiff. Howard Brothers did some clever manipulating on banjos. THE MONOGRAM. The Henderson's make things lively for the time they hold the stage, Billy Cunby is on his second week and is as clever as ever making good, GUY and Rex are worth the price of admission. If the managers had no other attraction this one would be sufficient, as both parties are former members of the great WILLIAMS and WALKER aggregation. The MOORES are the best comedy work on this week and when we say best it means something in this case, for Mrs. Moore dresses the act and they are very clever. Look for "STRING BEANS" next week. DR. BEANS FROM BOSTON. DR. BEANS FROM BOSTON. S. H. Dudley and his "Smart Set" filled a most moritorious four days at the Globe theater this week to pack pouses and as everything good improves with age, so it was with the blood of a boy by this scandal died comedian and his comedian new faces have been added to the "Personnel" faces which are new in the company but not unknown to theatergoers. Brilliant, dainty and gracious, Lottie Grady is the leading lady this season and one need not fear for any work that is placed in hands. As Susie Lee, Miss Grady cultivates her audience. One of the best numbers sang in the play was "Dixie's Sandy Shore." The singer of the above named piece was Miss Bessie K. Payne, a contralto whose splendid voice has been cultivated with every care for the beauty of voice. Miss Payne possesses a remarkable degree of sweetness in her deliverance and made one of th sincere hits of the evening. Classy James Burris, dignified Henry Troy, Pretty Alberta Ormus, musical William Ramsey and many others of an equally clear scintillation surrounds Mr. Dudley in his first-class musical "Dr. Beans from Boston." BOLLIN HAYES, TENOR A brilliant, large and intelligent audience gathered Wednesday evening, Nov. 27th, at Institutional church and listened to a singer who is one of the finest that has graced the platform of institutional church in ages. Mr. Rollin Hayes, tenor, formerly a student of Fisk University, was the star of the occasion and the credentials which heralded his coming concert were modest in his praise. Mr. Hayes is wonderfully well deserving of praise far more glowing than he has received. A dignity of bearing does not conceal his enthusiastic music and disposition. You can observe the theatricalness he feels in the joy of living in the success which his art has brought him. Mr. Hayes' voice is a robust tenor of wide range and unusual brilliance. His technique is above criticism. In the planissimo passages a marked appreciation of the beauty, pure articulation, was clearly demonstrated. "Celeste Aida," from Aida, sang in Italian by the artist, was splendidly given, his Italian pronunciation being pure and musical. Two numbers by Harry Burleigh, "Just Because" and "Because I Love, You So," gave an opportunity for the audience to listen to a delightful style of legato work. "Onaway, Awake!" from Hiawatha, by our beloved deceased Coleridge Taylor, whose memory and work are immortal was given by Mr. Hayes and his uncle, John Coleridge, beauty of tone. Mr. Hayes has a wide range of voice and every tone is properly focussed and given its true worth. As assistants on the program the recitalist had Mrs. Martha B. Anderson, Miss Townson, Messrs. Gossette and Taylor in the "Schubert Serenade," quartette form, which was excellently rendered, each voice being round, sweet and well modulated. Mr. Harrison Emanuel in his violin selections was indeed fine and demonstrated as heretofore his wonderful ability and right to be called one of Chicago's leading violinists. As companionists, Miss Gertrude Jackson and Theodore T. Taylor gave but a repetition of their former triumphs as artists along said line. The program was a dream of musical beauty throughout and all who assisted in making it a success as well as those who were fortunate enough to be present can well feel proud of the event. 50 YEARS OF PROGRESS. Semi-Centennial Jubilee of the Race to be Celebrated in a Feast of Song. The Semi-Centennial Jubilee chorus rehearses each Sunday afternoon from 3:30 p. m. to 5:30 p. m. and each Tuesday evening at 8 p. m. at Grace Presbyterian church, 34th and Dearborn streets.

AS OTHERS HEAR US By IDA PATTERSON. The dictagraph, you know, is a machine which records every word you say, omitting nothing, excusing nothing, softening nothing. It is the world's great repeater, a professional eavesdropper, realizing in part Robert Burns' wish, except that instead of seeing, it makes us hear ourselves as others hear us. I was swinging along on top of a Fifth avenue stage on a moonlight night. Wedged between the bus rallying at the left and a stout man asleep on the right, more bus rallying in front and an absorbed-in-themselves couple behind me. I could not avail playing the dictagraph. A woman's sweet, rather plaintive voice poured this into the ear of the man who sat beside the owner of the voice. "Yes. I don't know what will become of me, a weak woman all alone in the world." "She'll get him," I thought. "That kind of talk always goes with men if the woman's pretty." "I was not brought up to do anything. I've always had some one to lean on." "Great," thought I. "She's a widow. I'll warrant he's bursting with a proposal this minute." "When I found myself alone and with very little money I didn't know what to do," the stream of stickily, sweet voice went on. "He'll know," I tried to send a thought wave to her. "I went to a hospital and was there six months." "Bad move," I started a warning thought wave toward her. "Men are economical for every one but themselves. Tack your conversational ship." The thought wave missed, for she went on. "I had such a fine nurse, a big, strong woman who used to lift me about as I thought I were a baby. She used to say: 'You poor little thing. You're just barely alive. You might almost as well be dead.'" "Tack, tack," I mentally shouted to her. "Men hate invalids, you know. While one man will turn nurse ninety-nine will leave home when there's sickness in it." "They made a mistake when they discharged me from the hospital. I wasn't out two weeks when I had a relapse and had to go back. This time I had to take a more expensive room and had to have two nurses instead of one. The doctor said I would never be strong again." "Oh, woman, woman." I thought waved. "When I left the hospital I took a nurse home with me. I was so weak I could hardly walk. I kept her with me a year when I got a little better from the heart and developed a case of uric acid. The nurse used to say to me: 'My dear, you have enough uric acid in you to float a ship.' I had to take Turkish baths every day and massage with salt and I had to go south for two winters." "Stop," I wiggled, but in vain. "Then my nerves gave way. They've not been right since." I stifled a groan. Every one knows that men are more afraid of nerves in a woman than of a grizzly bear in polar shows. "Yes. There was a time when I wasn't quite responsible for what I said or did." "You're not now." I tried another despairing thought wave. It was lost at sea. "I had frightful pains in my head and was so irritable. I haven't gotten over it yet. About that time my liver got out of order." "We're here." The man's voice, hearty, vibrating with health and vigor, interrupted. He offered her his hand and guided her down the steps winding from the top of the stage. The vehicle obligingly waited for some panting, waving, hallong would-be passengers hurrying toward us from the side street. During that pause the man guided his still talking companion up the steps to an apartment house around the corner, lifted his hat and hurried away as though something were pursuing him. She stood in the doorway looking after him, but he did not look back. At the next turning he was lost from forever, I doubt not, to that woman. Pity is not akin to love if the pity is for bodily ills. Cupid hails at medical records. No man wants to marry a walking hospital. No proposal ever followed a recital of amics and palms except Robert Browning's, and Robert Brownning was of another age and country. Moreover, he was a poet and poets are different. Moreover, still, this one was rich. Away From Hunt or Airports The increase of motoring and the consequent increase of dust have, to some considerable extent, changed the value of villa and hotel sites in visitors' resorts. The choice, especially in the south of France and Italy, is now much in favor of houses well away from the main road, and even well outside towns. SHOPPERS MANY WOES|IN MEMORY OF A BABY By BARBARA BOYD. Sh appached the floorwalker, as being to man of knowledge, and asked pleasantly: "Can you tell me where I can find knitted sleeping caps?" He looked slightly puzzled. "Knitted sleeping caps" he responded dulously. "Yes. For outdoor sleeping. One needs something to protect the head, you know." "Yes, to be sure. They are in the muslin underwear department." "But they aren't underwear." "No. But the flannelette night-gowns are there, and—" "But these aren't flannectette," she objected. "I understand," he said soothingly, "But all such things are together. Fourth floor; take the elevator." So she took the elevator, though she thought whimically that more correctly, it took her, and journeyed to the fourth floor. "I am looking for knitted sleeping caps," she explained to a saleswoman in the muslin underwear department, something to wear on the head for sleeping outdoors. "The saleswoman flung out a flannel nightgown with a hood. "No, that isn't what I want. I just want a cap for the head. It is made purpose for sleeping outdoors. It is knitted." "You'll find the knitted things in the Art Noedlework," said the saleswoman, gathering up her nightgown. "But this isn't exactly art needlework—" "All the knitted goods are there," replied the saleswoman, putting the nightgown in a drawer, and turning away. So to the Art Needlework fared the searcher for a night cap, and once more told the tale of her needs. "We have these knitted motor toques," said the saleswoman. "No, they are not what I want. These sleeping caps are made purposefully for sleeping outdoors. They are knitted to fit over the head and come well down over the forehead—" The saleswoman's face showed a gleam of intelligence. "I know," she said. "You'll find them in the Hosley Department." "Hosley!" "Yes. All the knitted things are there. Is it the Subway Gallery in the basement." So to the basement the woman journeyed and interviewed the stocking counter. The saleswoman shook her head. "You should have gone to the knit underwear counter," she said with a nod of mild reproof in her voice. And as the searcher turned away she heard the saleswoman say to a fellow clerk: "They'll be coming here for washtubs next." Wearly she leaned against the knit underwear counter. "Have you knitted sleeping caps?" she asked a salesman. "Notion counter," he said briskly. He spoke so confidently hope revived, and she tugged her footsteps toward the notion counter. "You'll find them," said the saleswoman in reply to her inquiry. "No, I won't," replied the woman firmly. "They are not in house furnishings, nor in harness supplies, nor yet in photographic goods nor jewelry. The shoe department hasn't got them, nor gloves. In fact, I don't think they are in the store." At this the saleswoman woke up. "Why don't you try the office of the manufacturer?" she asked. "It's right down Main street. I'll look up the number in the phone book." This she did, and confident the quest was now at an end, the worm and weary searcher set forth down Main street. But at the number given there was no knit goods office, and nobody in the neighborhood knew of any. For a moment she looked at a department store across the street. But her watch told her the morning was gone, her feet told her she was dead tired, and her common sense told her to go home and sleep indoors like ordinary mortals. And when her husband asked her that night if she had been shopping she said, "No. Hunting." Whereat he made some sarcastic remarks about the time women waste fooling around in the shops. But she was too tired to open up an argument. Change In Modern Life The old tradition that woman's work was in the home, and only in the home, is dying, and dying with swifitness; slaughtered unmercifully by the modern industrial system which has sucked away from the home all those industries that once were carried on there—the pickling, the weaving, the baking, the brewing, the spinning. All these were once home trades at which women of almost all ranks earned their daily bread; they may not, as housewives, have been actually paid for their toll in money—as a matter of fact. I do not imagine that they often were—but they certainly earned the keep, the board, lodging and allowance dealt out to them by the husbands who were at the same time their employers. It was their labor which helped to make of the average home a self-supporting institution, a place of business as well as a place to dwell in.—London Mall. Bird's Fatal Mistake While the guests of the Central hotel were enjoying their breakfast the other morning they were surprised to hear a crash against the plate glass window. Thinking that it was a stone from a blast they ran to the door, to discover on the sidewalk a great big blue grouse, which, misstaking plants and flowers in the hangings for the forests, had killed itself in trying to fly through the window.—Vancouver Sun. Cigarette Variety. Aunt Nancy—Pehaw! Whatever put that into your head, Eben? Uncle Eben—The way people was bawling. The way I was to New York. Every little kid I met yelled: 'Hey, mistral! Get any pictures.'—Puck. THE CHICAGO DEVENDER By CARL MAYER. It was in the late autumn, yet a summer day, when all the air was soft with a scarcely perceptible haze which gives October that pensiveness which is not sadness, and yet which tempers joy. Miriam sat on the porch crooning a lullaby to her baby as she gently rocked back and forth and contemplated the quietude of the country as it lay before her in a glory of crimson and gold. A woman came slowly up the street and paused as she caught sight of mother and babe. A woman, haggard, faded, dust-stained, young in years, but with youth's bloom gone from the pale cheeks and wretched eyes, flashing suddenly with a wild light as she held out her arms in supplication. Miriam shrank back in her chair and hold her baby closer, thinking the woman insane; but seeing her mistake, leaned forward a bit, inquiring if the woman was ill or needed help. "No, madam, not ill, but it has been so long sinc. I've seen a baby! You are good, you are so happy, you have not seen sin; you don't know what it is to have lost your baby and go about the world with empty arms and despairing heart. My baby is gone! If you will only let me kiss your baby, let me hold it just once—I would be more fit to die." Intuitively, Miriam saw that this woman had suffered much; wronged her household, perhaps; but suffered. Pity tears into her eyes; sin shocked her heart; could not send a follow-creature away perhaps to death, without giving what help she could. Hesitating but a moment, she said: "Come, sit here beside me; baby is almost asleep," and rising, she laid the little bundle of warmth and fragrance in the stranger's arms. With a stifled cry the woman sank into a chair, while tears coursed down her wan cheeks. She wept—wept with grief unspeakable—with that agony of an overcharged spirit, until in the fullness of her tears she put her arm around the shaking shoulders and tried in her gentle may to sympathize. The baby slept. Mirlam brought light refreshment, dainty sandwiches and cool, rich milk. Refreshed, the woman, now calm, softly whispered: "If you knew what I have been you will despise me. You would not let me touch your pure, sweet baby. You have been so good, now let me go." But Mirlam gently detained her. "If it will help you to tell me your trouble, I may be able to aid you," she said. Then the woman wept again, but tenderness prevailed, and bit by bit the story of a young girl, born and brought up on a farm far from the city's whirl, lured away from home on promise of marriage, then deserted, came. How her baby had been born in a charity hospital; how she had searched and searched for her faithless lover, only to find him emerging from a great church with a radiant bride on his arm; how she had walked the streets night and day searching for work no one would give; how reason had left her when her baby died in her arms; how she was nursed back to puny health by others who had suffered, who gave her a home and certain rough but tender care; how she was led on to a life of shame because she could find no other means to earn bread, and how, sickened by the revolting life, she had cast aside her gaudy raiment and was on her way to join her dead baby. Miriam felt the truth of her story; felt that she could not turn away a soul so sorely distressed. "I think you were more sinned against than sinning, and God has brought you to me. Will you stay with me and help me care for baby? I have great need of some one who will put love into this work, and perhaps, after a white, my baby will comfort you as your own." "You will take me; you will keep me; you will let me tend your baby? Oh. It is too much, too much!" "I will do more, by giving you love and a great trust. You can help or harm me much; if you are loyal and faithful to baby and me you will give me a super confidence in all humanity, but if you fall me, I shall never dare to listen to the voice of my own soul again. It is a trial for us both!" When the woman lifted her bowed head there was a new light in her eyes; a rested look. "I thought there was nothing for me to live for, no work for me to do, but I will live sine you think me worthy of such a trust. I will prove to you that there is something true in me still. I will be faithful." The next spring in a far away city over a little mound in the churchyard a white stone was placed which bore the inscription: "In Memory of a Baby," and the tiny grave was blue with myrtle and violets. The woman lived all her long years with Miriam and the baby. She came to be like one of the family, respected, trusted, loved, looked up to. She tended them in sickness and in health; relied in their joys, sorrowed with their sorrows, and the next generation never knew but what she had always been one of them. But never in all the days of her life did Miriam breathe to any one the woman's secret of her baby's grave. Sad State of Affairs The bishop of a western diocese wrote to a bookseller in New York for a book called "New and Contrite hearts." After a time he received a postal from the bookseller, saying, "We have no 'New and Contrite Hearts' in the store; neither are there any to be found in New York." The western prelate took great delight in sending the postal to the bishop of New York, and calling attention to the lamentable state of his diocese. - Youth's Companion. Too Much of It.

Sapitary Carefulness A commercial traveler says that he can identify members of his profession in the hotel dining rooms by their habit of drinking their coffee "left-handed." He says that many travelmen have adopted this habit because when they drink "left-handed" they drink from the side of the cup generally used. This is one of those habits the traveler will lessen as it becomes more general—or as dishwashing becomes more of a fine art. Foresight. Edith—Seems to me that you are buying an awful lot of clothes even for your marriage. Marie—Well, you see, papa is liberal when he thinks that he is getting me off his hands, and there's no telling what he'll do when he finds that he has Fred on his hands. Evident. "This car," said the demonstrator, "is almost human. Perhaps you have noticed—" "Yes, I have," said Binks, dryly. "It reminds me of several men I know—been smoking ever since we left the garage, and the last hill we climbed it puffed like a porpoise. Haven't you something less human and more generally satisfactory?"—Harper's Weekly. Makes Good Road In the "gumbo" regions of the lower Mississippi valley, where the roads have been the worst in the world, progressive citizens have taken to burning the clay of the soil and spreading this material over the highways. The "gumbo" is so changed by the heat that it presents a fairly hard and mudless surface, even after a heavy rain. Peace. Nothing in the world is worth the loss of thy peace; even the faults which thou hast committed should only humble and not disuntuit thee. God is full of joy and peace and happiness. Endeavor then to obtain a continually joyful and peaceful spirit. —J. Tersteegen. Success and Failure It is sometimes hard to find out just how the man who is successful has managed to succeed, but it is always why the failure comes to those who fail.

Bear Balting Popular Sport Few sports have had such a great and extended popularity as bear baiting. The Romans imported their bears from Britain, and the sport can be traced in England to the Conquest or beyond. Queen Elizabeth was so fond of the sport that, by an order in council, she prohibited "plays to be performed on Thursdays because bear baiting and such pastimes had usually been practiced." To Keep Ferns Fresh Use a soil of about half leaf mold or smooth earth and half fine sand. Give abundant drainage and then plenty of water. About once a month put them in the washut or bathatub and give a thorough washing, not sparing soap; rinse well, and slightly loosen the soil before returning them to the stand. A bit of fresh beef buried in the soil occasionally helps. Makes All the Difference.

Obliging Clerk. An out-of-town man walked into a Fort Scott store and asked if the "boss" was in. A clerk who sat lazily gazing into space blinked several times, muttered his lips, and lapsed back into his former stage. "I say, is the boss in?" inquired the man in not a very mild tone. "No, he's gone out," returned the clerk, without taking his eyes off the space. "Will he be back after dinner?" inquired the man. "Nope," yawned the clerk, "that's what he went out for."—Kansas City Star. Crude Art In Europe Americans sometimes think that it is only our country that is troubled with crude art in the form of graffeless statues of public men. But occasionally, at least, Europeans are moved to protest against similar afflictions.

However, his suspicions pointed toward his. next door neighbor, whom he had seen prowling around his yavd that day and accordingly he had this suspect up in the police court next morning. “re the prisoner can file an alibi I Jet him off with a suspended sen tence,” announced the judge at the end of the evidence. “Can you file an allbj, Ham?” ‘ “I guess I can,” eagerly replied th Suspect, “if it atn’t any harder den Pahson’ White's chicken coop bars.”— San Francisco Star, Valuable Elk Tooth Dress, An elk tooth dress, estimated to be worth $3,000, was one of the oddities recently exhibited in the new “dress and ornament” exhibit at the Mu: seum of Anthropology at the Affiliated Colleges in San Francisco, The elk tooth dress was decorated with more than 500 teeth, and was worn by an Indian woman.

No other woman will ever wear a ring of mine.” There was bitterness in his young heart, “wish you could put it on, Billy, Just ag tf nothing had hap- pened.” Ho saw the tears glittering on her Jashe’ and suddenly caught her hands in his own, “What fs {t, Betty dear? What's gone wrong alnce last night? Be hon- est with me, girl!” Betty glanced about her apprehen- sively. “Somebody will hear.” “I took great care to bring you straight to my den.” “For heaven's sake, Botty, why this suspense? Let the ax fall. “Have you iscovered that you don’t care for me, after all?” ; “No, Billy. I love you better than ‘Anything else in this world.” “That settles it," said Billy, slipping the circle of big diamonds ‘on her finger. “Neither man nor devit can take you away from me now.” Betty looked down at the auburn head bent.over her hand. “Don't, Bil- ly!" she cried sharply. “Don't make love to me. If you do, I never can give you up, and father says—" “So—your father objects.” “Only on principle, Billy." ‘She took the ring from his finger and handed It to him olemnly. “He says that I am keeping you from getting a good business start, that you have no head for figures.” “In other words, he thinks I'm no man, just a plain boob." “No, he belleves that you are clev- er, but he says you never take any- thing seriously, that you are only tn love with me temporarily. You won't want mo after you get me,” sighed Betty. t Billy lookked at her, and his pulso throbbed as he caught her and held her close to him. “I am going to show father a thing or two,” he said, Hearing footsteps, he released her. A man supported himself, swaying by the curtains In the doorway. “1 bes pardon,” he said ' thickly. “Didn't mean to disturb you and tho lady.

I'l go now." “Not with the property of _ my mother's guests in your pockets, Your drunken ruse does not work with me, Betty. please touch that bell by the window.” . When the servants had answered the summons. and the thief lay bound on the floor, Billy proceeded to search hith. “There's father's “watch,” sereanied Betty. “The one grandfather gave him. And mother’s horseshoo of dia- monds! What a bold thiet!” The police made a quiet entrance to take their prisoner. Dilly and Bet- ty went downstairs to return the spolls. Everybody was busy playing bridge. Not one of them had discover. ed any loss. “What time have you, daddy dear?" asked Betty stopping by ber father's chalr, ‘There was consternation on his face when he felt in an empty pocket, “Why, II,” he floundered miser ably, not caring to announce a loss in his friends’ house. Billy held up his valuable old wateb, “How many of you have lost jewelry tonight?" He opened a box full of pins, trinkets and a string of pearls worth a king's ransom, “My pearls!” shrieked Mrs. Stanley ‘Weyland, “My horseshoe pin!” erled Betty's mother. “My emerald bracelet" moaned Kit ty Melears. “It's the one you gave me, Dick.” "Quiet," ordered Billy. “I have everything, There's the thief!” He pointed to the stalrway where two policemen could be seen leading avay their prisoner, “How did thie happen, young man?” Betty's father was perturbed. He was annoyed that any man could take his watch without his knowledge. He had prided himself all his life on his abit- fty to read character. “The fellow aid not look like a thief.” “People, like things, are not always what they appear,” ‘suggested Billy meaningly, “I may not look like a business man myself but Tam going to make you look to your laurels in that Snyder-Mynatt sult tomorrow, And I suppose I might as well tell you sinca you'll have fo know It anyway, I am going to marry Betty.” “Upon my soul, you astonish me, sir!” “My dear girl,” whispered Betty's father to her, “don’t tell Billy what I said about hima. 1 can’t afford to have him for an enemy.

L. Corrothers, president of the Na- tional Independent Civil and Political league, that this league, composed of Negroes, has decided to establish per- manent headquarters in Washington to take up the work of reorganizing the Negro vote, which stands for Taft, and to oppose the spread of Bull Mooseism? The old G. O. P. has been Inld out so nicely, why not let it rest in peace? Our professional men, merchants, and all who depend upon the public for their business will be glad to learn that there Is a movement on foot to form a protective association, the ob- fect being to deal only with’ one an- other whenever possible, in that way encouraging our young men and wom- ent to strike out for themselves. ‘Those in business must realize that in order to secure the trade they must give value recetved. This ie not a sympathetic movement, but a~move- ment (o help others to help them- ‘selves. The cheerful news comes from the St. Louls GlobeDemocrat that the prospective office holders are already considering plans for the distran- chisement of the Negro in that state. ‘The same old “grandfather” bill may be presented to the legislature, with the usual proviso to save the Ignorant whites. ‘That is, they will not come under the ruling if their ancestors could vote In 1865. Missouri has a great many fearless and intelligent Negroes who will not submit to hav- ing their rights taken from them as some in states farther South have, ‘The whites, if they are not careful, will reap a whirlwind some of these days.

A great many people seem to be surprised to learn that Dr. Booker T. Washington is beginning to express himself boldly in favor of higher edu- cation; not for everybody, mind you, but for those who are fitted for it. ‘The only new thing about the situa- (ion is the fact that he is making his views public. He has always had them but fancied the time was not ripe to give them voice. As his school srows larger and his influence great- er he is becoming more understood. Even his enemies are forced to admit that it is not a selfish motive which prompts him. He is broad and big enourh to glory in the suecess of any member of his race. We have but one Booker ?. Washington. Let us do him honor while we may. According to Rev. John W. Powell, spiritual director of the Minnesota University Y. M. C. A., the Negro in some parts of the country soon will be reduced to a state of serfdom; especially ts this so in the South, and pronounces the church and school as the only medinm by which the colored vace can be lifted. This isn’t a very starlling statement, nor does it apply any more to the Negro than it does {o other races. Ignorance is almost synonymous with serfdom. ‘The man who is not capable of using his brain to think for himself must have oth- eis to think for him, and he is at ways at the mercy of the other fellow. ‘The Negro race is becoming educated ay fast as they are permitted to be. ‘The South does not want the educat- ed Negro because the average south- ernér is so densely {gnorant to see that it is to his advantage to have him so. That the Negro is rising even with the enormous odds against him is evidenced on every hand, ‘There is much to be sald in favor of and against buying property by paying a small amount down and the rest in monthly payments. Unless it is possible to pay at least one-third down it seems rather risky business, there are so many things liable to happen that would make {t a risk. Flats very often stay vacant for months at a time, but the interest, taxes and various other expenses still go on. Buy a house and live in it, and the amount you pay (as the real es- tute dealers tell you) as rent will go toward buying it, This sounds good, but many a man has figured—only after he is bitten—that what he pays barely keeps up the interest and at the rate he {s going It will not only tuke his life-time but that of his chil- dren's to get out of debt. Put your money in a bank where you will be drawing 3 per cent interest instead of paying 7 per cent until you can get enough ahead to make a substantial payment and preclude the possibility of losing your property on account of not being able to meet the payments, Many beautiful homes in this clty have gone just that way. Buy prop- erty, but buy it intelligently. No doubt it will come as quite a sur- prise to most readers to learn that the founder, publisher and editor of this Paper has found the time (to say nothing of the money) 0 take. a Week's respite from the daily grind. After an absence of fifteen years he will visit his alma mater, Hampton unlversity; from there he will go to New York, Baltimore and Washing- ton. That he will have a roaring good time goes without saying, for he is as popular in those places as he is in the Windy city. We have a sneaking idea why he is going to Washington, for we made a mistake one morning in opening the usual batch of malt and opened a perfume. laden note bearing that postmark. Wo are free to confess when we saw that it began “Darling Robert” we should have blue penciled it and gone on with our work, but enrlosity {san awful thing, now, ian't itt Speaking of blue penciling, this arti- cle would .get it if he were on the Job, but he's out of town and we're running things. If we're still with the paper after he reads this we wil) let you know if he brings her back with him. The sentiments of Judge Pinck- noy, as will be found in another part of this paper, relative to the segre- gation of Negro children who are de- pendent or delinquent, expressed be- fore the Board of County Visitors and others who were Invited, was Very strenuously objected to by Mrs. Celia Parker Wooley and Messrs. Rosenwald, Barnett and Hall. Such meetings as these shows the absolute necessity of the race's need of Ne- gro representatives who have the courage to say and do the right thing at the right time, who will challenge wrongs against their race under: all circumstances, and will particulariy correct the misguided efforts of their friends who through partial informa- tion due to one sided development are attempting to benefit them. The meeting was called in the friendly Interest of the race and the state ‘ment of the Judge was an error of Judgment and not of the heart. Dr. Hall's point was the moment we agree that there are not two inter- ests, but one, the whole question is ‘solved. His plea was not for Negro or white dependents or delinquents but for all, that the subject be treat- ed on the basis of human unity. Mr, Cole, chairman of the committee, de- ‘clared he was in sympathy with Dr. Hall, With champions such as these the Negroes may take hope. Our Women THE GAUDEAMUS CHARITY CLUB.

W. Pinckney of the Juvenile Court Advocates the Separation of Dependent Children—Well Known Jurist, Renowned for Years for His Fairness to All Races, Surprises His Friends at a Recent Meeting When He Pleads for the Segregation of the Races in the Charitable Institutions of Chicago—"We Are Not Giving the Colored Race a Square Deal," Said He, But— HIS IDEA, HOWEVER, IS NO REMEDY The "Jim Crow" Section in the County Jail is a Nasty Slap in the Faces of Chicago's Splendid Negro Population—Although in a Penal Institution It is to Be Abolished, and Any Attempt to "Jim Crow" the Race in This City in Any Way, Shape or Form is Contrary to Law—"Justice to All" is the Slogan Throughout Illinois. --- By Cary B. Lewis. "We are not giving the colored race a square deal. The North freed the Negro on the general principle of the injustice of slavery, but it does not understand the colored man. The Southern whites know much better how to treat the Negro than do Northerners." This was the statement made by Judge Merrett W. Pinkney on Saturday at a junction in the Hotel Siles, as attended by the men and women closely associated with the problems of the care of the Negro dependent children. The meeting was called by the county board of visitors. The purpose was to plan ways and means for advancing the condition and opportunities of the juvenile Negro. To Select Committee. Among those present were Julius Rosenwald and Dr. Emil G. Hirsch. The chairman was authorized to appoint a committee of nine to make investigation of conditions relative to delinquent Negro children and report at a meeting to be called in the next few weeks. "We have never treated the Negro right, nor his children," said Judge Pinckney. "It is up to the Northern people to give the Negro children more attention. We have no good place to send delinquent children. We send them to institutions where most of the inmates are whites, but that is I o place for them. Colored children should be with colored children. The Negro living among whites hears all about equality before the law, but he finds it is not what it's reputed to be. Then he becomes discouraged and goes down. During all the time I was in the Criminal court the juries never gave the colored man an even break. I had to set aside the verdict of one colored man for murder in the first degree because I knew that if he had been a white man he would have been liberated. The colored man was granted a new tril, sent to Joliet, and released in one year, and is now working on a railroad and is making good." The Judge Is Wrong. Judge Pinckney is correct in his judgment when says they are not giving a "square deal" to the Negro and the delinquent children, but when he states that the race be separated on basis of color, he is making a bad pattern worse, as distinctions based on color and race are un-American, contrary to the letter and spirit of the American constitution and its institutions and inimical to the welfare and progress of the American people. The real remedy is more honest in public education and the development of public sentiment in our different communities which will demand and insist that the laws shall be impartially enforced and that public officials and the servants of all people have no right and will not be tolerated to discriminate and show favors between patrons and the public whose business brings them from time to time in contact with their respective offices. Square Deal. The colored citizens of Chicago ask o favors but they demand and will not accept anything less than a square deal" which must involve an impartial administration of public offices and public institutions without hard to race or color. The "Jim paw" or white section for white priests and black section for black priests in the county jail has no foundation in law, morals or good governance, and those officials and that submittent which supports it which makes it possible for such lawless un-American exercise of power in lying with those who are brought in the clutches of the law, each all are weakening the administra- justice, sapping the founda- of democratic institutions and in a most convincing manner hability of the white race to govern themselves in accord with their laws. Justice to All. extend such discrimination in the juvenile court or the institutions for competent children or public schools in the state of Illinois is to still further weaken the stability of law and order and good government in this state and must some day rebound to the great injury of all the people. The test of any government or race is its ability to do justice to the weak and defenseless. One receives no credit for respecting the strong, for they are able to protect themselves. NIAGARA'S MIGHTY STRENGTH Hard to Estimate Power That Haa Been Wasted Since Hennepin First Described the Falls. In the autumn of 1678 a Franciscan friar, Hennepin, set out alone—the first solitary figure of the expedition, a gray priest—from the gray rock of Quebec, in a birch canoe, carrying with him the "furniture of a portable altar." Along the way up the St. Lawrence he stopped to minister to the habitants, too few and too poor to support a priest, saying mass, exhorting and baptizing. Early in November he arrived at the mission at Fort Frontenac, which he had two or three years before helped La Salle to establish in the wilds. Soon La Salle's leutenants appeared, with most of the men, and while some were dispatched in canoes to Lake Michigan to gather the buffalo fleeces against the coming of the ship whose keel had not yet been laid, the rest (La Motte, Hennepin and sixteen men) embarked in canoes into lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence, that is, the Niagara. To this priest, Hennepin, we owe the first description and picture of Niagara, probably now more familiar to the world, than any other natural feature of this continent. He has somewhat magnified the height of these falls, but they are impressive enough to acquit him of falsification and powerful enough to run virtually all the manufacturing plants in the United States, if they could be gathered within reach. As it is, less than four per cent. of the water that overflows from the four upper Great Lakes into the lower lake once known as Lake Frontenac and now as Ontario, is diverted for utilitarian purposes, and yet it supplies the American and the Canadian almost equally between the two shores over 300,000 horsepower. What the conversion of the strength of this Titan, for ages entirely wasted and for a century after Hennepin only a scene wonder, means or may mean to industry in the future is intimated in some statistics furnished by a recent writer on the Great Lakes showing the relative cost per month of a certain unit of power in a number of representative American cities.—John Finley, in Scribner's. Uses of Uranium There is considerable popular interest in uranium in the United States on account of its connection with radium. Very little uranium is mined in this country, except as it is incidentally taken out in mining carnotite for vanadium, according to the United States geological survey. In 1911 the uranium mined amounted to twenty-one and two-tenths tons. A few hundred pounds of pitchblende was mined from the German mine, at Central City, Colo., but this material was not sold, as it was said to have been used in experimental work. The extraction of radium has been attempted in the United States by several persons and firms. Some of these have given up their efforts, but others are still at work. Uranium is employed principally for making yellow glass, for yellow glazes on pottery, and in a less degree as a chemical reagent. Yellow glass made with uranium oxide is known as "opalcescent." Direct light shining through it gives a yellow color and indirect light a greenish yellow. Some of the firms which have attempted to use uranium in the manufacture of steel have abandoned such experiments, the claim being made that it apparently imparts about the same properties as tungsten, and is very much more expensive. Fiddle With a Brain. The latest invention is a violin that plays itself. People who have heard it say that it possesses the delicacy of touch and sweetness 60 tone of a finished player. Pearson's Weekly states. Really the mechanical violin consists of three instruments. The bow is a circular hoop of horsehair which travels around continually. Standing on end inside the hoop are three violins. Along the neck of the instruments stretch a row of uncanny fingers that run up and down the strings just like real fingers. The violins stand back about an inch from the moving hoop of horsehair, against which they are pushed at the right moment when the note is struck. The hardest tunes to play present no difficulties to this marvelous fiddle. It is not likely to replace the human player in the orchestra for some time, at least, as the cheapest kind costs $2,000. Like most machines, however, it lacks one thing: it cannot tune itself. When any of the notes get that the strings have to be tightened by more man in almost the same way as an ordinary violin. True Charity in Denmark The Danish postmaster general has devised an ingenious method of providing money for the education of the blind. A copper coin, a luck-penny, is to be made in the royal mint, and is to be sold to the parents of every new-born child who has the gift of sight by the nurse attending the mother. Parents are to pay whatever sum they think fit for the luck-penny, which is worth only a halfpenny and bears the device. "The child seeing the light for the first time presents a tribute to the child who will never see." Still There. Robert had just received a whipping from his mother, who afterward angrily burst in upon his father as he was quietly reading the evening paper. "I don't know where that child got his vile temper from," she exclaimed, throwing down a book, "not from me, I'm sure." Her husband looked sadly and responded: "No, my dear, you certainly haven't lost any of yours."—Harper's Bazar.
