A Fearless, HONEST CHAMPION of the People CHAMPION JACK JOHNSON IS SENTENCED TO YEAR IN PRISON Heavyweight Pugilist Convicted Under White Slave Law Is Also Fined $1,000. GETS TWO WEEKS' LIBERTY. Allowed Freedom Under $30,000 Bonds Pending an Appeal of Case. Champion Jack Johnson, heavyweight pugilist of the world, was sentenced to serve one year and one day in the Joliet penitentiary and to pay a fine of $1,000 by Judge Carpenter Wednesday afternoon, on a charge of white slavery which has been pending since the jury's verdict of guilty on May 10. Ben Bachrach, Johnson's lawyer, was granted two weeks in which to prepare a writ of error for an appeal, and in the meantime the neigro is to be allowed his liberty upon $30,000 bond. The jurist overruled a plea for a new trial before fixing the sentence. Friends Claim Victory. The pronouncement of sentence came unexpectedly, as no definite time had been fixed by Judge Carpenter. Considerable comment was made in government circles as to the lightness of the sentence, Johnson's friends claiming it to be a victory for him. A maximum sentence of thirty years and a $60,000 fine could have been imposed under the law. Judge Carpenter, after listening to all of the arguments advanced by Mr. Bachrach, said practically all of the points had been settled during the trial. Judge Carpenter then addressed himself to the defendant. "It is hard to determine what punishment should be made in your case," said the jurist. "We have had a number of cases of violation of the Mann act and in only two of them were fines assessed. "Life Not Moral One." "The circumstances in this case have been aggravating. The life of the defendant by his own admissions has not been at all a moral one. "The defendant is one of the best known men of his race and his example has been far reaching. The court is bound to take these facts into consideration in determining the sentence to be imposed. In this case the defendant shall be confined one year and one day in Joliet penitentiary and pay a fine of $1,000." Mr. Bachrach asked that the sentence be changed to a term in the bridewell, but Judge Carpenter said that question could be settled later. Mr. Bachrach said after the hearing that he intends to base his writ of error upon the unprecedented point that the jury in the case had been prejudiced by the opening statement for the government. In the case Johnson was accused of transporting Belle Schreiber from Pittsburgh to Chicago and establishing her in an immoral flat on the South. Side.

AT STATE CAPITAL SPRINGFIELD NOTES LEGISLATURE NEWS Major Jackson's Ability Recognized by Chairman McNichols of the Committee on Miscellaneous Subjects, of Which He Is a Member—Appoints Him on a Sub-committee of Three to Investigate and Report on House Bill No. 516, Introduced by Representative Hilton of Chicago—The Bill Requires the Consideration of Men of Wide Experience and of Some Ability—Our Representative Considered Equal to the Occasion and Has Entered Upon His Task. THE BILL AS IT WAS READ BEFORE THE HOUSE. For an Act to Define Trusts and Conspiracies Against Trade, Declaring Contracts in Violation of This Act Void, Making Certain Acts in Violation Thereof Felonies and Prescribing Punishment Therefore, and Matters Connected Therewith—Senator Ettelson Introduces Major Jackson's Amendment to the Civil Rights Bill, Prohibiting Discrimination in Burial Grounds On Account of Race and Color—Senate Judiciary Committee Acts Favorably on the Amendment and Reports It Out to the Senate With the Recommendation That the Amendment Do Pass—The Bill Went to Third Reading During the Week—House Action Is Anxiously Awaited. Springfield, Ill., June 6 (Special to The Chicago Defender).—Our representative's fine work is seen in the delay of the house committee to consider the full crew bill. The Major has talked the life out of the bill and it is practically dead. The committee on railroads, who has the bill in hand, listened to the plea of the Major and have tucked it away for more than four weeks. No one has been able to cut it loose from its moorings. Two more inter-marriage bills were introduced, one by Mr. Hollenbeck and one by Mr. Poorman. They were referred to the committee on judicial, Chairman Karch (Democrat), after a conference with our representative, labeled the bills "rubbish" and sent them to the happy hunting grounds. The full crew bill was considered in committee Tuesday night. The session of the railroads committee lasted two hours and a half. The bill was attacked by Representative Jackson and defended by Mr. Connor of the trainmen's union. A parliamentary struggle ensued in which our representative, the Major, came out with flying colors. He defeated the motion to report the bill out of the committee with the recommendation that it do pass. He defeated the attempt of the trainmen to amend the bill and finally with fine parliamentary strategy, and for which he is noted, succeeded in having the bill referred to a sub-committee of five of which Hon. Maurice J. Clark of the First district is chairman and who is a staunch friend of the colored people. It looks like the Major has tagged the bill with the Indian sign. Truly he is representing the race in the legislature and the colored railroad men should feel grateful of his effort and service in protecting their employment and destroying the attack of the enemy who would legislate them out of jobs they have held for more than forty years. Hon. Charles A. Karch, Democrat, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Labels the "Jim Crow" Bills "Rubbish" and So Notifies the Introducers of the Same. Gentlemen: If you have any measures pending before the house judiciary committee, and desire them to be considered, you are requested to attend its sessions and call same up. It is my intention to cease holding regular committee meetings at end of next week. It is earnestly hoped, in view of the crowded calendar in the house that you will not insist on sending out bills unless they contain matters of pressing importance, or administration policies. I mean thereby to eliminate the rubbish. J. ALFRED ANDERSON ATTENDS WEDDING AT CINCINNATT Famous Song Writer and Popular Manager of Provident Hospital Makes Merry by Mingling with "Newlyweds." Mr. T.

Among the first entertainments in their honor will be a dinner by Mr. Anderson. SOUTH CAROLINA MOB MUTILATES BODY Special to the Chicago Defender. Hampton, S. C., June 6.—The South received another black spot when Richard Austin, an alleged murderer, captured after being shot by a posse in southeastern Georgia Tuesday night, died while being brought back to this place. A mob which was awaiting his arrival, took the body from Sheriff Morris at 2 o'clock this morning, and after cutting off the head, fingers and toes, "singed" it and hanged it to a tree in front of the court house. Mrs. Minnie Simmons of 1602 North Burdick street spent the day in Plain-well. A large crowd attended the reception and installation of the officers of the Independent Lincoln Club and listened to an interesting program. The address made by the newly-elected president, Rev. James Dungill, was particularly interesting. "NIGGER BROWN." If the last Sunday's Tribune Rothchilds & Co. advertises plumes of different colors, among which reference is made to "Nigger Brown."

New Orleans; May 28.—The rumor that S. W. Green, supreme chancellor was lynched is untrue.

Glenwood, the only cemetery in Chicago in which the race is interested financially to the extent of membership, in the management on the board of directors, observed Decoration Day in a manner that not only inspired the promoters to greater efforts, but the lot and grave holders as well. In the early afternoon, every station of the railroad, from their terminal at Polk street, was crowded with lot owners and their friends. With flowers in abundance to decorate the graves of loved ones interred there, it was a solemn but remarkable party. It was the regular train, but the majority of the coaches were filled with those en route to the cemetery. The greatest number boarded the train at 31st and 47th street, but the hundred or more that were met at 63d street (Englewood) filled the train to the limit. At the cemetery the first thought was the decoration of the graves; after that came the program. Mr. Joseph Moore presided. The speakers were Rev. H. J. Callis, W. H. Fields and Cary B. Lewis. The Wm. H. Hand Quartette sang. About 1,500 persons visited the cemetery. LAKE FOREST NEWS. Lake Forest, Ill.

[Special to The Chicago Defender.] La Crosse, WIs. June 6. The Rev. Henry B. Alexander of Milwaukee, convicted of obtaining money under false pretenses from a brewing company under claim that it was for the Milwaukee Colored Divinity and Industrial School, which the state charged does not exist, was sentenced in Circuit Court to the state penitentiary for one year. In pronouncing sentence the court sharply criticised other clergymen of the race who had been connected with the institution, including Bishop Joseph Jackson and the Rev. Joseph Smith of Milwaukee, the Rev. J. G. Graves of Chicago and the Rev. Geo. W. Claughton of Oshkosh, Wis. "It is clear to the court that these men were working in concert to get money for themselves under pretext that it was for a charitable institution," said Judge Higbee. PEYTON-DORSEY NUPTIAL EVENT OF SUNDAY NIGHT Entire Congregation of Ebenezer Baptist Church Witness Ceremony After Usual Evening Service—Most Unique Wedding in Years. BRIDE IS DIRECTOR OF CHOIR. Groom Is Leading Basso and One of Chicago's Well Known Citizens—Impressive Remarks of Rev. J. F. Thomas. Mr. David B. Peyton, Sr., and Mrs. Blanche Wade Dorsey were united in marriage Sunday night at Ebenezer Baptist Church, following the usual service. The wedding service was unique. Both of the contracting parties are members of the choir. The bride is the director and the groom the leading basso. The choir loft is directly above the pulpit and it was directly after a most soul-stirring sermon that the pastor, Rev. J. F. Thomas, turned and faced the singers and bound for life two of the most prominent members. The bride and groom were unattended, and there was no wedding march, only the solemn sounds of an old-fashioned hymn. But radiant in smiles, the couple stood forth. Rev. Thomas pronounced them man and wife. Had it been possible, the audience would have cheered, but they could not within those sacred walls. The bride looked charming in a well fitting cream colored suit of serge, with a hat of straw, adorned with magnificent white breasts. A large touring car awaited the party at the conclusion of the ceremonies, and accompanied by Miss Lillec Peyton and a Chicago Defender reporter, the happy couple were whirled away to the future home, 3514 Prairie avenue. There was no formal reception. The few intimate friends who followed viewed the new home and offered congratulations. The night following Mrs. Peyton entertained the choir. Miss Laura Kenner is Killed and Richard Anderson is Seriously Injured in Midnight Frallch. Miss Laura Kenner, 26 years old, 3647 Rhodes avenue, was instantly killed Tuesday morning at 1 a.m. when an automobile in which she was riding ran into a pole at 37th and State street. Richard Anderson, who was driving the car was so severely injured that his death is expected any minute. At the coroners inquest at King's undertaking establishment on Wednesday he was held to the grand jury on a charge of manslaughter. Miss L. Lindsay, another occupant of the car, was badly bruised. Mrs. Kelnne was buried Friday morning in Lincoln, cemetery. She was born in Carlo, Ill. She leaves a mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. L. Johnson, a devoted husband, three sisters, and one brother.

Manning, manager of the Indianapolis World, and confidential messenger of the National Democratic Campaign Committee, was in the city over Decoration day, conferring with the local members of that party and enjoying himself as usual. Mr. Manning is one of the "big ones," as things are judged in the political arena, but he still declares that he does not want an office, while his friends say don't be surprised if President Wilson names him for one of the big jobs. Mr. Manning stopped at the Hotel Brunswick. THE WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER PRICE 5 GENTS U. S. NAVY DENIES DISCRIMINATION AGAINST RACE U. S. NAVY DENIES DISCRIMINATION AGAINST RACE Secretary Daniels and Rear Admiral Charles J. Badger Find "Jim Crow" Charges Unwarranted and Without Foundation—No Evidence Anywhere—Naval Parade Leads to Investigation—Race Plays Small Part in Water Service of Country—Only Enlisted Men Are Classed as "Messmen." WHITE MEN IN SAME CLASS WERE NOT IN PARADE Mr. Cleveland G. Allen's Suggestion That Ships Be Manned by Members of the Race and Commanded by White Officers Is Considered Inadvisable and Impracticable by the Naval Officers—The Letter in Full—The 6,000 Men Representing the Navy in the Parade Were White Because No Man of Color Had a Right In Line. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] New York, June 6—Secretary of the Navy Daniels and Rear Admiral Chas. J. Badger, now in command of the Atlantic fleet, have completed an investigation of the charge of discrimination in the navy against colored enlisted men, and find that the charge is unwarranted, as there is no evidence of discrimination. When 6,000 men of the navy paraded here last fall and no colored men were seen in line, some of the Negro enlisted men were not permitted to parade. Mr. Cleveland G. Allen of 252 West 53d street, representing the various complainants, wrote to Secretary Daniels in April, calling his attention to the alleged discrimination, and suggesting that a way to avoid similar conditions in future might be in having some warships manned entirely by colored men, commanded by white officers. Entire Colored Crews the Remedy. To have ships manned by colored men, the Secretary and Admiral agree, would be "inadvisable and impracticable." Secretary Daniels has sent a letter to Allen, enclosing with 12 a report from Admiral Badger. The letter says: "My Dear Sir: Referring further to your letter of April 12, complaining of alleged discrimination against colored enlisted men in the naval service. I enclose for your information a copy of a communication received from the commander in chief of the Atlantic fleet, to whom your letter was referred. The department believes with Admiral Badger that you are misinformed as to the conditions of colored men in the navy, and further concurs with him as to the inadvisability of having ships in the navy manned entirely by colored enlisted men commanded by white officers." Colored Men Are Only "Witnesses" Colored Men are Only "messmen." Rear Admiral Badger's investigation covers a report of two typewritten pages. He says the only colored men in the navy are those employed as "messmen," and while there are also some white men in that department, none are permitted to parade. The men who parade are those composing the deck and gun crews. The Admiral denies that the colored men are forbidden to use the reading room aboard ship. ALL THE HONEST PEOPLE ARE NOT DEAD That the above is true was exemplified by the following incident that happened in a north bound State street car on Monday night. The car had left 59th street and two young-women, dissatisfied with one seat, moved to another. In doing so one of them dropped a well filled pocket book. Unconscious of the loss they crattled on merrily; but across the alley sat a keen-eyed young man, he saw the purse, he remembered that they had previously occupied that seat, and he picked it up and restored it to the owner. Both were profuse in thanks and the other passengers were amazed when they learned that the pocket book contained a large sum of money. All of the parties concerned refused to have their names quoted but—the expression of one of the passengers that "all the honest people are not dead" is the basis for this story. GOOD SAMARITANS On Tuesday, June 3, Mrs. Titus and Mrs. Potterfield, members of the Samaritan Club, visited the Amanda Smith Home. Mrs. Titus carried out and donated to the children twenty pieces of clothing, six glasses of jelly, and treated the children to some candy.

Walton, dramatic and managing editor of the New York Age, Melville E. Stone, president of the Associated Press, has recommended that in future the nation's greatest purveyor of news should use a capital "N" in spelling the word "Negro." A short time ago the New York Evening Post, the New York Evening Mall and the Outlook adopted the capital "N," and now it is likely that the use of the capital will become general throughout the service of the A.

The craft needs an army of Miss Vanns, and the Journal and Guide would do well to train up a brigade or two for the benefit of the managers who need somebody who can thus chase and capture the elusive dollars of the realm. As a pusher the Louisville News shows "some class." At the closing banquet of the recent session of the Kentucky State Medical Association in the Falls City, the News managers had a flashlight of the banqueters taken at 10:15 o'clock on a Thursday night by the Royal Photo View Company. At 12:15 the same night they had the proof and at 1:20 a.m. it was in the hands of the engraver. At 12:30 next day the plate was delivered. The News went to press at 1:30 and was in the mails at 6:30 Friday, reaching every point in the state Saturday morning. This is "modern journalism" and is the spirit of hustle that will win out. Lee L. Brown is president and editor of the News and William Barley is secretary-treasurer of the corporation. They are members of the N. N. P. A. and will be with the "boys" at Philadelphia. Henry Allen Boyd has the Baptist Sunday school convention "on his hands" this week at Muskogee, Okla. M. M. Lewey, editor of the Florida Sentinel, Jacksonville, Fla., writes that he is getting his new field well in hand and that the outlook for a big business is very flattering. Besides running his paper and carrying on a fine printing business, Mr. Lewey is president of the Florida State Negro Business League and is planning for a monster meeting July 30 and 31 at Jacksonville. Mr. Lewey served two years most successfully as president of the N. N. P. A. and is exceedingly popular with the press fraternity all over the country. The Sentinel wields a powerful influence throughout the South. The A. M. E. Zion Monitor at Lincolnton, N. C. is a new one. It is edited by A. H. Hatwood and the business manager is J. A. Cunningham. The Reformer at Richmond, Va., official spokesman of the United Order of True Reformers, claims to have the largest and most complete printing plant owned by any newspaper in the country. James W. Poe is now the head of the business and is making good. He was at one time a member of the legislature of North Carolina. The Western Star of Zion, published by Rev. Thomas Walker Wallace at St. Louis, Mo., is a good looking sheet, and is helping the cause of Zion throughout the trans-Mississippi section. Bishop G. L. Blackwell is president of the board of managers and Rev. B. G. Shaw, one of Zion's coming young leaders, is associated with him. Mrs. Beulah Wright Porter, a brilliant schoolmam of the Hoosier capital, contributed a strong and convincing article to a recent number of the Indianapolis Ledger, under the caption of "Why We Should Not Be Silent on the Race Question." Mrs. Wright says there is a race problem, as shown by the discriminations we suffer every day, and those who call themselves leaders should raise their voices and use their pens in a sturdy effort to solve the problem of the masses. CHIEF BAILEY BUSY PAYING OFF CLAIMS. Visits the Defender's Office with Special Letter Containing Checks to the amount of $1,500—Tells the Office Force That the Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers Has Come Back—Praises the People of Chicago for Their Hospitality as Well as the Patience Which They Have Exercised—Makes No Official Statement As to the Several Thousand Mile Trip to be Covered in company with the Grand Officers. In an interview this week with a Chicago Defender reporter, Chief M. T. Bailey of the True Reformers said: "I was very pleased when I stepped into my office on Monday morning to find a special delivery letter from Richmond, Va., containing checks to the amount of $1,500, to be paid on back death claims, etc. "I was very anxious while in your office to exhibit to you and your office force, these checks in person, so you could say to the people that I said, that the Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers has come back, and it will only be a matter of time before that great organization will regain the reputation it once held in the eyes of the world. I want to praise the people of Chicago and the state of Illinois for their hospitality which they have extended, and for their splendid donation of $525 to "the redemption fund" of the Grand Fountain U. O. T. R., out of the total amount of death claims which we have adjusted during the week. If this liberality is shown by the people in other sections of the country, as has been shown by the people in the state of Illinois and the West, it will only be a matter of a short time before the organization shall have paid every dollar that is due to anybody throughout the country on death claims, and will have regained that high standard and splendid reputation which it once had. "I am in no position to make an official statement relative to the several thousand mile trip that I have been invited to take in company with the grand officers, starting on the 24th of June, from Chicago, and taking in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore, Richmond and all the principal cities of the South, in the interest of the Grand Fountain U. O. T. R., about which your reporter has been inquiring for the last ten days, but I do know we will leave here on the 24th of June, nothing preventing the same, to attend the Rosebud convention, in East St. Louis, Ill., and all preparations are being made for special accommodation by the railroad ENGLEWOOD BY D. W. JOHNSON. Mrs. Lulu Bailey of 6229 Loomis boulevard has returned from the hospital. Dr. C. L. Jefferson, pastor of Hope Presbyterian Church, was able to be in his place last Sunday. He seems to have spent his time during convalescence in devout prayer and deep, penetrating thought, for he preached a most eloquent and able sermon on the "ideal Home." This is the first of a series of sermons which he will preach on the home and the family relationship. ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH. The services at St. John's A. M. E. Church last Sunday was full of spiritual interest. Dr. Wilson is an excellent gentleman, eminent divine and able minister. He is now engaged in a great struggle, endeavoring to raise $1,000 by the first of August to pay off an indebtedness. There has been a series of rallies for sometime, through which his faithful members have succeeded in raising $700. To meet these obligations it is quite a strain upon the physical and financial nerves of the pastor and members, but they have bound themselves together with one accord and will meet their obligations with fearless valor and a Napoleonic determination. THE ENGLEWOOD LYCEUM. The Englewood Lyceum held memorial services last Friday evening, May 30, and the meeting was full of interest from start to finish. The president, in a few preliminary remarks, stated the purpose of the meeting and commented upon the significance of the occasion; after which no read Lincoln's Gettysburg oration. A recitation was rendered by Master Enos Bond Jr., a duet by Misses Valleaux Winburne and Lillian Holmes; recitation by Miss Rosa Brumfield; violin solo by Mr. Deaver Jefferson. Mr. G. W. Rivers treated the society to a very illuminating paper, in which he discussed the origin, purpose and meaning of Memorial day. Mrs. D. W. Johnson, editor of "Current Events," read that matchless, eloquent address delivered by Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll to the veterans of the Civil War at Indianapolis, Ind., in 1876. After the musical program there was a lively debate between Miss Valleaux Winburne and Miss Marie Jefferson. HOPE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Hope Presbyterian Church, under the ministerial leadership of Dr. C. Lee Jefferson, is making wonderful strides of progress. Little more than a year ago these people were worshiping in a little dingy, isolated cabin. But today they are the proud occupants and owners companies. It is, indeed, destined to be a great meeting. "Permit me to say, in conclusion, that this organization since August 22, 1911, has made an unparalleled record. From the loyal and faithful members more than $275,000 has been collected, and over $150,000 has been paid on old and new death claims, while thousands of new members have been added to the organization, which bespeaks well for Mr. Floyd Ross, the grand worthy master, together with all the grand officers and representatives, as well as the splendid prestige which has been given to the organization through the columns of the press. 8TH REGIMENT TO LEAD Y. M. C. A. PARADE Marching Hosts to be Feature of Dedication of Wabash Avenue Branch June 15. The program for the dedication of the Wabash Ave. Y. M. C. A. has been completed and on June 15 (Sunday afternoon) the citizens of Chicago will be given an opportunity to hear distinguished orators and witness one of the finest military parades ever seen in this city.

Tucker, secretary of the CHICAGO DEFENDER CWOOD and Religious News of the most beautiful church among the race in this section of Chicago. Since the church was finished they have busied themselves in furnishing the interior. The pews, carpets and pulpit are all very handsome. For the past few months the members, and especially the women, have worked like Trojans to finish paying for these furnishings. They are nearing their final consummation, they have nearly reached their goal. Last Sunday was rally day. Ten captains among the women of the church had been appointed to raise $10 each, with "hope against hope" that they would be successful. Others volunteered and when the final assault was made, the fort captured and the emoluments of the victory counted, it was announced that a total sum of $166.21 had been collected. This was another day of victory for woman's rights, and the credit is due the following named women: Mrs. Warfield, $5; Mrs. Scott, $5; Mrs. Jack French, $10; Mrs. D. Brantley, $10; Mrs. C. L.

Wolf Dogs In Ireland. Wild wolf-like dogs are still found in the remote parts of Ireland. They have soft, round ears, rather pleasant, broad faces, and can easily be tamed if they are caught young. They do not hunt in packs, like wolves, but usually live and hunt apart, with their mates. In bodily conformation they are much like the Eskimo dog, but of slighter build. It Spread Easler. One cold night a few years ago, we were all seated at the table eating our dinner. The butter was very hard, and, consequently, remarks were made about it. The next week the weather was very warm and the butter was somewhat soft. Little Billy, six years old, suddenly exclaimed: "Mamma, the butter is easy tonight, isn't it?" sure enough. Frank and Fred, aged 6 and 4, respectively, were discussing a little sister who had died before the latter was born, and Fred said: "When I go to heaven I'll go right up to her and say, 'Hello! this is Freddy.'" "Why," said Frank, "she won't know you, because when she was, you wasn't."

THE CHICAGO DEPENDEN "MAN'S BEST FRIEND' DOGS EMPLOYED AS GUARDS BY GREEK ARMY. They Replace Railway Sentries and Parla Render Valuable Ald to the Police—Are Above Bribery. After several attempts had been made to damage the railways used for the transportation of Greek troops into Turkish territory, dogs were employed to guard the lines, the Greek government being unable to spare soldiers for the purpose. The results were excellent. At Larissa in particular the entire railroad line was efficaciously protected by dogs. So much interest has been aroused in Europe by this new use for dogs and the success of the experiment that reports have been officially asked for by the various European military authorities concerning the special training of the dogs. For several years perfectly trained police dogs have been found invaluable in Paris, and they have been assigned to important duties. All along the banks of the Selme dogs watch for accidents. If a careless passenger or an unwary boatman falls off one of the many boats agd barges plying constantly up and down the Selme, one of the big, beautiful Newfoundland river guards bounds into the water to the rescue, barking to give the alarm and after swimming with the limp body to the shore. Even the bridges are closely watched by the dogs, for from the Selme bridges many despairing men and women leap into the river, hoping thus to end their misery. It is now believed that countless railway wrecks due to deliberate design during labor troubles could be prevented if railroad sections were nolled by dogs. Their efficiency in this duty has been unquestionably proved in the Balkan war. Dogs are now used to escort prisoners and to from jail in Paris. They will courageously attack their enemy even when fired upon, as a notorious bandit found to his cost during a recent struggle to escape while being conveyed to trial. This is a result obtained by careful training. How to defend his master is another important lesson taught the police dog. The dog must snarl and bite as soon as an attempt to hold up his master is made. In this the police dog is developing marvelous qualities. Guarding property is another of the police dog's duties, and in this also he has proved himself an adent. Articles left in his care are safe and faithfully watched. His moral training forms as much of a police dog's education as his professional lesson. He is taught to be honest and faithful and not to accept a bribe. The latter is important because poisoned meat is often offered to these dogs. The police dog soon learns to eat nothing but what his master serves him, and is an example to many men in his resistance to temptation. Take a Sun Bath Select the sunniest window in the house, one with a southern exposure preferable. Throw up the shade to the top, better yet, open the window, and spend your working hours in the light instead of poked off in some dark corners. Do not say you have no time. You may have to take time to be ill, and your days drag when one feels glabish and heavy from lack of light and air. It is not necessary to sit in idleness by your sunny window. Here the mending basket can be emptied, books read and fancy work finished. If the spring sun temps you to laziness, don't feel you have committed a crime in yielding to it. Loaf and dream in fresh air and sunshine part of each day, and you will be better wives, mothers and house-keepers. Saving More Millions Millions of dollars will be saved the government by the use of a newly devised stamp-printing machine. The apparatus is scheduled to turn out a mile of postage stamps every five minutes. It was designed by Benjamin R. Stickney. There will be a saving of 57 per cent in the production cost of stamps. This new machine, which prints, gums, dries, perforates, and either cuts into sheets or winds into collis 12,000 stamps in one minute, will save the government several million dollars in the cost of stamps alone in the course of a few years. The bureau of engraving and printing now turns out 40,000,000 stamps daily, but with the use of the new machine and because of the increased demand, it will be able to manufacture many more millions a day. Price of a Son: Professor Allen Hoben of the University of Chicago says that one boy, reared in babyhood to the age of eighteen years, costs his parents $4,000, even if they are so poor that they must live in the slums. Wealthy parents, he says, pay more, and he adds: "A son is truly a costly luxury." Yes, according to Dr. Hoben's figures, even the slum father could in eleventh years own a fine touring automobile for the sum he expends in rearing a son. And if he rears six sons—that's $24,000—on a salary of $1,000—that's $18,000 in eleventh years—think of the art gems he could buy for his little cottage. Wonderful what the science of statistics can put into our heads, isn't it? The Drummer's Tender Heart "And what did you do when you heard of it on your journey?" inquired his friend. "Oh, I sent the governor a long telegram of sympathy. He likes that kind of thing. Cost me half a crown." "Half a crown," exclaimed the other incredulously. "Oh, I charged it to my expenses, of course," explained the traveler. "Kindly feeling and thoughtful economy could go no further." Scientist Claims It Is Not Necessary That People Should Feel Burdened With Years. It seems that according to most recent discoveries old age is not a natural result of years, but is a microbe. At least this is claimed by the scientist, Metchnikoff of the Pasteur institute in Paris. It is not necessary that people should feel burdened with years and grow feeble and exhausted as the months roll into years. All that is due to a microbe in the body, and when science can once discover the antitoxin which can successfully combat the poisonous effects of the microbe, we can live on, perhaps not longer, but without discomfort until the end comes. He bases his theory on his observations of mammals as compared with birds. A dog or horse, for instance, shows distinct signs of senility. They grow feeble and decrepit and break down in every way. But birds do not. A duck that is twenty years old shows no signs of advanced age. Parrots remain for long years in a youthful state and retain their brilliant plumage. In the case of a parroquet, which, according to reliable information is seventy to seventy-five years old, it is impossible to recognize old age, so entirely normal is its appearance and so easy its movements. The cause, it is claimed, lies in the difference in the intestines in mammals and birds. The latter are so built that the microbes which are so abundant in the intestines of the mammals do not or cannot accumulate in the bird. In the mammal they increase from year to year, and the toxic effect from these intestinal sources produces the phenomena which we call "old age."—Chicago Tribune A curious instance of the survival and revival of a fashion which originated, in the remotest times is the carring. Worn by the kings of Egypt, and extremely popular among the ladies of ancient Rome, it subsequently lost favor until the gay day of the period, after which it again dropped, and has now once more regained popularity. The mention of this form of decoration is to be found in the Book of Genesis. Jacob, it will be remembered, on reaching Bethel buried certain strange idols, among them some earrings belonging to his family. Doubtless these ornaments were regarded purely in a propitiatory light as amulets or tal-mans, such being still their principal office in the east today. That they are of eastern origin is certain, and among Orientals, with the exception of Greeks and Hebrews, it has always been the custom for both sexes to wear them, while frequently only one ear was adorned. Among other races, however, earrings were always worn in pairs, and by the women only. On Modern Man. The late Emerson Taylor, our consul at Port of Spain," said a Washington official, "nailed from Dry Run, and he had a fund of happy Dry Run humor. Taylor once compared a disgruntled brother consul to a Dry Run house-wife. "This woman," he said, "often took a queer, disgruntled view of things. Thus she said one day: "I don't think the prodigal son was so bad, after all." "He wasn't no good to his family," said her husband. "That's a fact," said the Dry Run woman. "But when he got home, all the same, he knew enough to keep his mouth shet. If he'd been like the twentieth century man, by crinus, the first thing he'd done would 'a' been to find fault with the way the fatted calf was cooked." Among the Gobwebs Bishop Candler of Atlanta, apropos of worldly parsons, said the other day: "There was a worldly parson of this type in Philadelphia, a great fox hunter, whom a Spruce street Quaker took in hand. "Friend.' said the Quaker, 'I understand thee's clever at fox catching." "I have few equals and no superiors at that sport,' the parson complacently replied. "Nevertheless, friend.' said the Quaker, 'if I were a fox I would hide where thee would never find me.' "Where would you hide?" asked the parson, with a frown. "Friend," said the Quaker, "I would hide in thy study." Lonestest Spot on Earth An English historian has finally decided on the loneliest spot on the earth. Tristan a Acuma it is called, and it is an island hundreds and hundreds of miles away from its nearest neighbors. A tiny oasis in a boundless ocean, no matter which way you go it is rocky, with a solitary mountain 1,000 feet high. A shepherd community lives there, farmers, cattle raisers, etc. In the valley of the island are fertile fields where potatoes are grown, and the food of the people consists of beef, fowls and fish. The island formerly produced many fruits and vegetables, but they can no longer be grown there, for the island is overrun by rats which escaped from a ship, and the people have never been able to rid themselves wholly of them. Identifying Himself. A negro, who was very light in color, went into a cafe the other day and took a seat at a table. The waiter intimated, in a delicate way, that he could not serve him. "Why can't I be served heah?" asked the customer. "It is against our rules," replied the waiter. "Do you tek me foh a colored man?" inquired the man. "Yes, sir," answered the waiter, "aren't you?" "Indeed, I'm not. I see a Malay." "A Malay!" exclaimed the waiter, in astonishment, "and where do the Malays come from, sir?" "Why," responded the man, "the Malays come from Malaria, ob course."

The recent automobile tragedy on State street was not unexpected by people who observe speeding cars nightly upon that thoroughfare. Fast life always exacts a heavy toll. THINGS SEEN Ungentlemanly deportment and untidy appearance in public conveyances and streets of the city will withhold rights and we hope for another generation. 1 UNRECONSTRUCTED REBELS. A petition with 8,000 names has been presented to Postmaster General Burleson to segregate the colored employees in the postoffice department. Hundreds of colored employees in all departments of the government have been displaced with the change of administration. We must ask the colored brother of the Democracy. A TIMELY CALL. Dr. Leonard Lewis will appear before Gov. O'Hara's vice and welfare commission this week in reference to the low wages paid colored men upon railroads. Such an investigation has been needed for many years and since the state commission is looking into the matter of wages and vice, their relation, perhaps we will have something to say as to the cause of inefficiency and crime too often laid at our doors. THE LATEST BUGABOO And now Americans maintain that, they cannot assimilate, the Japanese. That they are too distinct, too foreign, etc. So also they speak of the Negro, but it is the frequent products of that assimilation which cannot be detected either in appearance, manner or morals, that rather give them the frights. So great Nature takes care of her own mere man's opinion notwithstanding. We should like to inquire of the so-called ethnologists what species is the American bird anyway? The honor roll of ministers who require a certificate of good health be- fore marrying couples is not yet completed. We hope to hear from a number of them before, our next issue. No use to sermonize about "the temple of the soul" being fit without stronger measures to make those temples pure and sound. The mating of the good and tender with the filth and disease is a cessant process with the shibboleth purity with the stigma of degeneration. Our slogan must be onward and upward. Our shibboleth purity. THE LAST HOPE. Several months ago the daily press heralded the news that employers of labor had been interviewed and had promised to give places in stores and factories to colored labor. A spasm of righteousness seemed to have struck them under the appeals of men who were interested in our welfare and securing justice. But little has been done along those lines and little can only be expected by us. The only hope seems to lie in an entering wedge of municipal ownership of public utilities where colored men and voters cannot well be denied. We have a sole representative at Springfield, but we should instruct him to work, might and main, for municipal ownership, even to take the initiative to open the door of higher endeavors to our people. ROW, ROW, ROW. Perhaps nothing is so alarming in the North to colored men who are thoughtful than the fact that even when marriage is entered upon so few children are resultant. The economic condition which forces parents to forego the happiness of rearing children is dreadful from any viewpoint. A moral recklessness is engendered in families who are reduced to such straits that no amount of education can remedy. It is high time we give consideration to the forces operating against our racial advancement. We must have a laboring class more dignified and better paid and we must have a business class to supply their wants and necessities. The progress we are making in America is largely due to our being carried along with the tide which in swiftest here. How much more progress could we boast of also if we would more constantly and earnestly paddle our own canoes? A SOUTHERN ANOMALISM A strange contingent at the annual reunion of Confederate veterans is a company of colored veterans about thirty in number who are always in attendance each year. A part of the encampment grounds are set apart for them and also special entertainment provided. One thoughtful daughter of the Confederacy has contributed $5 to buy chewing tobacco for these soldiers who dressed in gray. This company of colored soldiers is but a derelict of the old South and represent the racial schism which slavery brought about. They fought and died for their masters to keep themselves in bondage. Now and then we find other instances in these days just as potent, or evil as were those ignorant soldiers fought against the Union, but now there is scarcely the excuse of ignorance. We must ask ourselves the question—is the manner of our living and department against our own advancement or that of our race? If so, we are entitled to feel the fires of seven hells. EDITOR'S MAIL. THE REASON WHY. Editor Defender: We observe that you mention in your last edition the fact that the young lady on the cover of the Crisis this month is one of Chicago's charming misses. We should like to see you mention in this week's edition that the artist is Mr. Vincent Saunders of Milwaukee, now residing in Chicago, one of our finest young men. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Burgette, are among our oldest and best citizens and we feel justly proud of the recognition given his efforts by the Crisis. Respectfully, The Woman's Improvement Club, Carrie Horton, President, Jennie Sanford, Secretary. Reply: The reason we did not give Mr. Saunders credit for the work is because Mr. Peter P. Jones, the race's greatest photographer, made the picture about a year ago.—R. S. Abbott, Editor. THE RACE'S APPEAL FOR INDEPENDENCE. To the Editor: As a race of people can we not, like Franklin, Jefferson and Adams, appeal, if not demand, independence? When they were oppressed by the laws of England as we are oppressed today by the laws of this so-called land of liberty they sought means for removing the hand of oppression and succeeded. Our oppression of today resembles in a way the oppression which the first settlers of this country suffered at the hands of England. What are we to remove it? Franklin has removed his portion of the Declaration of Independence, wrote "all men are born equal." We know this to be a fact, yet the laws of this so-called land of liberty deny us equal independence. What are we to doing to remove this law? Some of the oppression we are suffering: It is a very rare thing to glance over a daily paper and not see this disgraceful statement in glaring headlines, "Another Negro Lynched by a Mob of Enraged CITIZENS." These men, who not only have violated the laws of man in this deed, but the law of God as well, are called citizens. While the man who has been lynched whose crime (even if guilty) cannot be blacker than theirs is called brute. Yet all men are equal and this is the land of liberty. In other cases I have known Negroes who were property holders, peaceable, law-abiding citizens, to be driven from their homes, their property destroyed and their homes burned. Can anyone answer why? In the latter part of September, 1912, there were three hun- dred Negroes living in a little place in Georgia called Forsyth. I afterwards learned that everyone was a hard working, honest person. One of them killed a white man defending his own life. This man, whose record until the time he killed a white man was perfect, yet. he was lynched by this mob of enraged citizens and every other Negro in the town given 24 hours to leave. I met several of them while in Atlanta and can supply names and addresses to verify this statement. Isn't that oppression? What are we doing to remove it? Each time something like this happens there is space devoted to it in one of our weekly papers, and that is all. Not only are we human beings, but we are a race, and as a race we should endeavor to remove this oppression. How we can remove the oppression will be published later. Sincerely yours, M. MARION DAVIS, 4429 State street. LET US HAVE PEACE. Unsavvy stories, telling of the alleged misconduct of individuals, are not welcome in The Chicago Defender office.

GIVEN UP TO DIE, NOW EATING CORNED BEEF and CABBAGE. Mr. L. L. McCall, Bainbridge, Ga., who was given up by his doctors in Georgia, returned home today (Saturday), after three weeks treatment at Provident hospital under the care of Dr. Wilberforce Williams. When Mr. McCall reached this city he was in, down and out and had himself almost given up, he said in speaking to a Defender reporter. "These Chicago doctors have certainly got the goods, and believe me, Chicago for mine so far as medical treatment is concerned, always." Reroute Agent Key to Success In almost any narrow way of living a man's life may be exceedingly simple, but if he wishes to scorn from this narrowness, unless circumstances are much in his favor, he has to blaze a pathway through all sorts of hindrances, and often very much uphill, before he can get to the place of wider influence or outlook. It takes courage; it takes great perseverance; it takes an unconquerable hope to do this. Effort Wasted. "What makes me really mad," said the woman, "is to spend minutes, maybe hours, trying to get hold of a white hair that shows up on my head like a dazzling light, yet which is tantalizingly elusive when I try to catch it, and then when I do finally separate it from the brown hair and give it a vigorous pull, to find that I have snatched out a good brown hair and left the white one still shining!" American and Other Opals It is generally conceded that the opals found in any part of America are less hard than those found in other localities, but they are no less brilliant, and some of them withstand atmospheric effect and the wear of time quite as well. Others again fade and become translucent and opaque in course of time, or according to the degree of exposure. --- The Crank. "Ikins a confirmed pessimist!"

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Kee By Dr. H. A Week Measure Hygieni will be description Column WILLIAMS. CONSUMPTIVE CURES. From time immemorial there have been quacks preying upon the unsophisticated, credulous populous. The quacks and promotors of the various "infallible cures" are very active and lavish in their advertisements. People with consumption are hopeful of finding something that will cure, in fact they believe all things, and hope all things, and will do all things, provided these things are presented to them in an ignorant but flattering manner. They are often shocked at the straightforward, honest, intelligent advice given by an honest, square physician. Often they have more faith in what is told to them by people who have no claim on the poor unfortunate's confidence and respect. They are ready to try all sorts and conditions of remedies or vaunted cures. Action of These Cures. The action of these so-called cures for consumption, cough, and colds is to benumb the sensibilities, allay the cough and make the poor victim believe that he is really getting better, while on the other hand, the ravages of the disease are advancing, and steadily and surely sapping the very vitality of the victim. It is not always wise to check a cough or to try to check it in consumption, as it is Nature's way of getting rid of certain poisonous substances, which we call toxins in the body. All of these so-called boasted cures contain deadly habit-forming drugs. certain deadly macroforming drugs. You take, for instance, "Shiloh's Cure for Consumption," put on the market by Dr. Brutus Shiloh—this remedy has no curative qualities for consumption—but it contains heroin and chloroform which benumbs the sensibilities. Take "Prof. Hoff's Consumption Cure"—it contains for its principal relieving agent opium, and it has never cured a case of consumption. Take again "Yonkerman's Consumption Cure," popularly known as "Tuberculozone"—it contains heroin as its principal relieving agent, and only gives the poor consumptive the feeling of well being, and fools him into believing that he is really getting better. "Gooch's Mexican Consumption Cure" contains for its principal remedy morphine sulphate, as we all know, this is a very dangerous and deadly agent. Dr. J. H. Cotton told me a few days ago that he knew quite a few colored consumptives who used "Tuberculozne" with a hope of getting well and that it had been his sad duty to write the "Death Certificate" for everyone of those individuals. The above analysis of these consumptive cures is taken from the Chief Division of Drugs of the United States Bureau of Chemistry. LIVING WITH CONSUMPTIVES Mr. T. writes: "I have a friend who just came home from Georgia. I believe he has consumption. I have a wife and two boys. I desire to know of it is dangerous to live and work with consumptives." Reply—Mr. T., that depends. If your friend is clean, careful and intelligent, it is not dangerous to live and work with him, but, on the other hand, if he is careless, ignorant and dirty, get rid of him at once and thus safeguard your family. Provident Hospital Tuberculosis Dispensary. I would advise that you take your friend from Georgia to Provident hospital dispensary on any Monday or Thursday, from 3 to 6 p. m., and the doctors and nurses there will teach him how to be careful, clean and assist him in getting well. SLEEPING OUTDOORS IN NIGHT AIR. Mrs. E. Writes: "I have a cough and cannot sleep well in a closed room at night. My sister objects to my hoisting the window. She is afraid of the night air. The doctors at Provident hospital tuberculosis dispensary said I should sleep with my head out of window or on the porch in a hammock. I am afraid of the night air. Is night air dangerous? Reply.—No, night air is not dangerous or harmful to your lungs. Then, too, you have no other air to breathe at night except night air, which is cleaner and purer many times than day air. Mr. M. asks: "Is alcohol good for a cough? Is not alcohol a good food? When I am tired and hungry a good can of beer, a drink of whiskey or gin satisfies my appetite and makes me feel better. Some nights when my cough is tight if I take a good drink of whiskey it seems to loosen up the cough and I can get up more phlegm." Reply—No, alcohol is not good for coughs. It only tends to deaden the efforts of Nature to clear your lungs or bronchial tubes of the phlegm or mucous that irritates, and gives you the desire to cough. (2) No, the best treatment is not a sustaining food, but a narcotic Alcohol is a reason robber—a home blaster—a mind destroyer. If used long enough it will produce inanity; it is a financial wrecker. It is a producer of poverty; it is a crime generator and a vice stimulator. Yes, it gives you a good feeling now or today at the expense of your health in the future. Alcoholics such as beer, whiskey, all forms of sin, will chloro form, if used long enough, and completely put to sleep your reason, will, judgment and the finer qualities of your nature. HEALTH NOTES. Press Service, Department of Health. Parks and playgrounds do not feed our penitentiaries. Give the boys a playground and they will not be so apt to seek the pool room. Besides, both the moral and physical atmosphere of the park or playground is healthful and invigorating for their minds and bodies. One of the most important things in a child's life is the proper care and conservation of the health and physical safety of its people. And a mighty big factor in protecting the public health is good, fresh air, lots of sunshine and a reasonable amount of elbow room. The requirements for a clean milk supply are very simple and yet despite this fact are difficult of attainment. They are as follows: Clean, healthy cows, clean methods in dairy, rapid transportation of a chilled product and cleanly conditions thereafter until final use by the consumer. The entire process is one of education all along the line. First, the dairy farmer must be educated to the importance of producing a clean, safe milk; and then he must, as a rule, be taught how to attain the highest standards of cleanliness. Second, the dealer must be taught to observe the same methods, to keep his milk cool and to deliver it to the consumer in the condition as he gets it from the farmer. In the consumers themselves, or many of them at least, must be taught that milk spoils quickly; that it must be kept at a temperature of not more than fifty degrees; that when poured into vessels for they must be clean, that the bottles containing the milk must not be left open and must always be kept on the ice until their contents are used. So, it will be seen, that it requires knowledge, intelligence and education all along the line in order that the milk be clean and safe all the time. Does that back yard of yours look clean and nice? Did you clean it up this spring? Are you intending to keep it clean this summer? If you had company coming, would you take your visitors out and ask them to see how clean, tidy and attractive your back yard looks? If you are ashamed of the outlook from your kitchen door, the chances are that you have not done your full share towards making your surroundings as clean, tidy and beautiful as they should be. Remember, that it means work and vigilance to maintain good community conditions, while bad community conditions flourish, grow, thrive, increase and multiply, if only we are indifferent and give them a chance. It seems to be a law of Nature that the things in this world that are worth having cost time and labor. Weeds grow everywhere; that care or culture; flowers and lawns must be kept and cared for; must be tended and nursed, watered and cultivated or they not grow at all. And so it is all along the line; the things in this world that mean most for our comfort and physical well being do not come to us without effort on our part. In other words, we must work for and earn the good things of this life, or he willing to go without them. But is there any doubt about the rewards being big for the small amount of work bestowed? We think not. Properly Apportioned. A birthday gift was given to a wife by her husband and three children. The youngest, a little ten-year-old, was appointed to make the speech of presentation. She did it after much preparation for the occasion, and this was the form it took: "Dear mamma, this gift is presented to you by your three children and your one husband." Rearranged. The choir wished to sing a hymn, the first verse of which ended: "The night is falling. Heaven help us as we're calling." But as they wished it for morning service, the leader suggested that they change the wording of it a bit. A young man dutifully proposed the following amendment: "The morn is dawning. Heaven help us as we're yawning." Good Magnet. Helper—"We're going to have a big crowd here, and it'll be some job to keep 'em moving." Manager—"That'll be easy.

Mr. William Dorsey Mr. William Dorsey, one of the cleavest music writers and arrangers we have again given to the muscled world a composition that unloudly will add greatly to his popularity. It will be remembered that Mr. Dorsey was the first who accepted the famous ballad, "If I Forget," for the firm he was connected with, and through his personal efforts and good judgment did much to make it a success. A list of Mr. Dorsey's compositions will appear in these columns shortly, and no lover of music should fail to purchase each and one of them. The Grand The Monogram AMATEUR DRAMA. DANCE AND BE GAY Mr. Frank P. George's Eleventh Edition of Merriment a Success—The Program. By J. H. S. The eleventh edition of Mr. Frank P. George's "Danabegay" came off with its usual brilliance at Oakland Music Hall on Decoration Day eve and was the most successful event that "The Black Belasco" has ever achieved in Chicago. The hall was packed—that meant money for the promoter; the program was varied and excellent—that pleased the lovers of art; and the dance music was superb—and "everybody was happy." "The Danabegay" occupies a place in things social that is hard to define. "Dance and Be Gay" has appealed to all ages, but to "dance and be gay" and be entertained by a star concert could only originate in the mind of that popular sponsor of genius, Mr. George. 1 The occasion in question was one of merit, vocally, and instrumentally the stars shone out. The many that made up the program were all loudly applauded but each had many admirers and "The Danabegay" was a success and every artist participating needs no personal criticism here other than from start to finish "Danabegay" was all that its name implies. Mr. George appeared once. As usual he acquitted himself with credit; to tell the truth, what would be the event without its originator, the only Frank P. George, on the program? The program in full was as follows: Wilson's orchestra in a pleasing selection; piano number by Miss Blanche Logan; solos by Miss Renna Blunt, Mme. Marie P. Merrill and Mr. Opal Cooper. Following came a duet by Mme. Marie Burton-Hyram and Mr. George Garner Jr., and later Mme. Merrill and Mr. Garner Jr. Mr. Hugh Buchanan was the next soloist. Miss Sinclaire White, violinist, won added laurels by her renditions on this occasion. The Pompeian quartet and Mr. George made up a program of rare excellence. Mr. Joe Shoecraft's speech in introducing his quartet was a feature of the evening. Prof. Garfield Wilson's orchestra played the dance music, and the best judges said that it was never better. Miss Marion E. Garner was the accompanist. She was also the director of all things musical. The other officers were: Samuel Fielding, manager in advance; William J. Kelley, manager of interior; William Abbe, stage manager. The ushers were Miss Jennette Trippet, Ferris Lewis, Thelma Alexander, Vetolla Hayes, Noamah Bunn, Fairfax Butter, Ethel Minor, Katie Fowler. The beneficiary from the event was the Phyllis Wheatley Home for Working Girls. THE MISSES OVERTON GIVE RECEPTION IN THEIR NEW HOME Many Young People Gather to Meet Miss B. B. Burke of Kansas City, Their Guest. At their beautiful new home at 5202 Wabash avenue the Misses Overton showed unique taste in a reception given in honor of Miss B. B. Burke, a teacher in the Kansas City, Kans., High School. Miss Burke is of Washington, D. C., and well known to society. She was on en route home and broke journey to be the guest of her old friends for a few days. Chicago was on the whole new to the visitor, hence her friends spared no pains in ushering her around. The end of her visit was made most pleasant in the reception given last Wednesday evening from 6 to 10 o'clock when over fifty young people, local friends of the Overtons, gathered to meet the teacher. Everyone present reported a very nice time, and Miss Burke left the same night, regretting the shortness of her stay and wishing "that every Wednesday was last Wednesday." Besides suitable refreshments there was a short impromptu musical program, to which Misses Hodges, Smith and Overton contributed.

MILWAUKEE HAS MUSICAL TREAT. The Umbrian Glee Club and Mme. Anita Patti Brown Have a Pleasant Tripl and Great Success in Mil- waukee Decoration Day. Milwaukee, Ws., June 6.—(Special.) —The Umbrian Glee Club, Mme. Brown and Friends, thirty in number, were kindly offered a special car for their party by the Milwaukee Electric line from Evanston, in order that they might enjoy complete comfort while en route to attend the golden jubilee on Decoration eve in Milwaukee. On their arrival they were met by a host of friends and admirers; dinner was served gratis. Mme. Brown and Mrs. Stephen Buckner (one of the party) were hurried away in a taxi by Mr. John Slaughter, a wealthy resident of that city, and served a sk-course dinner by his charming wife and then hurried back in a taxi to the Auditorium, where the grand exercises were held at 8 p. m. Mme. Brown and the Umbrians appeared with much success, after which they beat a hasty rest and left for home at 11:15 p. m., all voicing the sentiment that they had enjoyed a most gala time. A FISHING PARTY Will Albert Sherrell, Henry Hurley, Robert Stocton and Charles Webb composed a jolly fishing party that left Chicago for a week's outing along the Fox River. They were surprised themselves at their success, for every time they cast it was only a moment before the signal was that something was doing. The principal fish were black, speckled and silver bass, croppies, silver gills and bullheads and when night fall came and we went to camp a great mess was prepared of our own catch fresh from the stream and believe me from the water to the frying pan is just grand and then after the debris was cleared away a nice quiet smoke and then to nature we retired in our own tent on our own ground to sleep the sleep of an infant knowing no trouble. And when 4 a.m. came found us as soldiers on the firing line seeking what we could catch and great was our reward. About 80 pounds of fish was the catch of our trip and anyone wishing fine fishing and good outing go to Fox Lake, Ill. SOCIETIES AND CLUBS. THE CALENDAR CLUB. The Calendar Club of Mt. Morlah Baptist church gave a grand rally Sunday, June 1, at the church, 142 W. 47th street. Rev. T. L. Polk, the pastor, preached a beautiful sermon Sunday evening. There were many visiting friends present. We succeed in raising $158 during the day. THE SAMARITAN CLUB. The Samaritan Club met Thursday, May 29, at the residence of Mrs. Willard Chim, 5714 La Fayette avenue. The club was called to order by the president, and the meeting was opened by the repeating of the Lord's prayer. A musical program was rendered. A visitor, Mrs. Oliver, gave an interesting talk at 11 o'clock. A luncheon was served by the hostess. The University Society, a floating organization, composed of graduates from the various universities and colleges throughout the country, rendered a program for the Standard Literary Society of Bethesda church, last Sunday. They promised a splendid program, but on account of illness and other important business, some of the members were not present. However, they found it easy to substitute for those absent and a very interesting program was rendered. Mr. John W. Felton gave a very good reading instead of a cornet solo which he was to play. Mr. E. O. Marshall is an adept at the piano. Mr. Frank W. Henry read a very exhaustive paper, subject: "The Part Played by the Negro Soldiers in the Wars of the World." The history of the Negro soldier has often been proudly traced from the revolutionary war, but Mr. Henry added a unique touch to it when he brought them out of Noah's Ark and traced them, in a very interesting manner, down to the present day, showing that through them and by their soldierly valor many kingdoms had been established and others overturned. Mr. Opal D. Cooper rendered a vocal solo and was heartily applauded. Next Sunday will be the last meeting of the Standard Literary, after which they will close for the summer. MISS MYRA JONES WEDS DR. BRYANT Nuptiae of Charming Cincinnati Belle and Well Known Physician a Brilliant Affair—Honeymoon Begins in Chicago. Editorial Correspondence. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Cincinnati, O. June 6—The most brilliant social and society event of this city in years was the wedding on Wednesday of this week of Miss Myra Jones, 1537 Blair street, to Dr. Henry Clay Bryant of Birmingham, Ala. The social set has been all agog for weeks for weeks making preparations for the event. Society leaders from all parts of the country were present to witness the ceremony. The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph L. Jones, parents of the bride, was tastefully and artistically decorated with flowers and ferns, with a color scheme of green and white, and a garland of roses hung here and there gave sweet scented odors. It was an afternoon wedding. The day was beautiful and the whole surroundings seemed to lend charm and pleasure to the occasion. It was the sweetness and beauty of the bride, her charming manner and culture that added greater charm to the wedding ceremony. Miss Jones was gowned in a handsome white crepe meteor and Princess lace. She carried a shower of bride's roses, white sweet peas and lilies of the valley. Miss Hela Jones, sister of the bride, wore a beautiful accordion pleated green THE CHICAGO DEFENDER. chiffon gown and carried a large bunch of pink sweet pea's and pink roses. She was the maid of honor. Dr. Bryant wore a Prince Albert suit, as did Mr. Walter Pettiford of Birmingham, Ala., who was the best man. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. H. D. Proud of Toledo, O. Mr. Joseph L. Jones gave the bride away. An appropriate musical selection was rendered during the ceremonies. The dining room was attractively decorated. The bridal table was arranged for seven, the color scheme being green and white. The guests were served on the lawn of the Jones home Following the ceremony the "newly weds" were showered with congratations, the first coming from the parents, then Mrs. S. A. T. Watkins, M. T. Alfred Anderson, Chicago, ill.; Mrs Julla A. Johnson, Detroit, Mich.; Mr. Walter Pettiford, Birmingham, Ala.; Mrs Robert Mallory, Dayton, O.; Mrs Julia Blackburn and daughter, Montreal, Can., and a host of Cincinnatians. Mrs. Bryant is well known in Chicago. Two summers ago she was the guest of Miss Ada Lau Mitchell, 4020 Wabash avenue. During her stay she was introduced to Dr. Bryant. Her receptions, parties and dances outnumbered any that have been given a young visitor in recent years. Her parents are two of the most prominent people not only of Ohio but of the entire country. The daughter was given every opportunity for home and school training. Before her marriage she was in the office of her father, who operates a fraternal banner business. Dr. Bryant is a native of Birmingham, Ala., educated in the schools of that city and who graduated from Fisk University and the Northwestern Medical University. Upon his graduation he became an inerne at Provident Hospital, compiling the term with highest honors. While at Provident he was constantly in the service of Dr. Daniel H. Williams, Dr. U.S. G. Dalley, Dr. George Cleveland Hall and Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, assisting them in many difficult operations. Dr. and Mrs. Bryant left Cincinnati in the evening, arrived in Chicago on Thursday morning. The "newly-wed" were driven to it Carter Villa, where they will receive their ransy friends.

DOLBY IMPOSED ON Had Resolved to Play Part of Hog on a Crowded Street Car, Until Woman With Borrowed Baby Appeared. Dolby likes babies. That is why he gave his seat to the good-looking young woman in the triangular brown hat. She carried a baby. If she had not been so incumbered she would have been condemned to strap hanging, so far as Dolby was concerned, for he vowed at the beginning of the trip that he was going to play the hog. "I'm dead tired," he said to Mr. Bowler. "Thank heaven, I've found a seat. I am going to stick to it, too. Nothing short of an accident or a woman with a baby can rout me out till I get home." Bowler said "Humph," as did several other passengers who overheard Dolby's selfish resolution. The young woman in the brown hat stood within hearing distance as Dolby thus declared himself, but she did not say "Humph." She merely thought it. Presently she edged down the car until she stood directly in front of Dolby. About that time the baby began to show off. He kicked at Dolby's hat, first with the left foot and then with the right, and then with both feet simultaneously, and said, "Oo-ooo," very plaintively. Dolby looked up and met the baby's eye. The youngster's gaze embarrassed his somewhat, so he allowed his eyes to travel a little higher. That time he encountered an appealing glance from the young woman. Dolby became still more embarrassed; he sat still a few seconds longer. "Madam," he said, "will you have this seat?" "Thank you," sighed the young woman. "You are very kind." It really was not worth while to tell Dolby that. He already had an exaggerated notion of his own magnanimity, so, to even things up, he retired to the back platform and picked a quarrel with the conductor. When he got tired of that he stepped inside the car again. Directly in front of him, but under different guardianship, sat the baby that had so ruthlessly assaulted the rim of his hat a few minutes before. "Jo-oo-oo," coed the baby. "Hello," said Dolby. "Aren't you the kid that took liberties with my headgear a little while ago? How did you get down to this end of the car?" The baby's reply was not exactly intelligible, so his mother supplemented it with a more lucid explanation. "He belongs here," she said. "The lady sent him back. She just borrowed him for a few minutes." With one quick glance Dolby retreated to the platform, and there he stayed. World's Largest Index World's Largest Index. On Beacon Hill, in Boston, under the golden dome of the statehouse, is one of the largest indexes in the world. In fact, the Russian public index is the only one known to be larger. More than 9,000,000 names, births, marriages and deaths in Massachusetts from 1943 make a complete record, showing not only where people were born and where they died, but also statistics which are vital in making up calculations. Before this time, says the National Magazine, the records were kept in the different towns, but now they are all concentrated in the statehouse in Boston. In a relatively small space all these records are preserved, and as births, marriages and deaths come in, different forms of cards are used, and a great variety of names, Greclan, Assyrian, Italian and others now mingle with good New England names that have been on the records since the landing of the Mayflower. Freezing an Easy Death Freezing to death, writes a medical authority, is preceded by a drowsiness which makes the end painless—the body actually feels warm and goes comfortably to sleep. Experiments have been made with animals to show just how freezing to death proceeds. In one of these experiments, in which the animal was placed in a temperature of 125 to 160 degrees below zero, the breathing and heart beats at first were quickened, the organic heat of the body actually rising above normal. This rising showed a sudden and an intense effort on the part of functions to preserve the body's temperature. Then the violent heart action gave out suddenly and death came when the temperature of the body dropped to 71 degrees. High Price for Straightness One of the most difficult problems in practical mechanics is to make a straight edge. How difficult it is may be judged from an incident that occurred in the shop of a celebrated astronomical instrument maker. A patron asked what would be the price of "a perfect straight edge of glass 36 inches long." "It cannot be made perfect," said the instrument maker; "but it could probably be made with a limit of error amounting to only a fraction of a wave length of light." "How much would that cost?" "About forty thousand dollars." It turned out that the customer wanted the straight edge for a scraper and that an error of one sixty-fourth of an inch would not bother him. Treatment for Bees A young man on a local newspaper was recently given charge of the "Helps for Superurbanites" column in the absence of the regular editor. The young gentleman managed to wade through the majority of the perplexing questions in his day's mail until at last he came to a stickler. Rushing into the news room he stopped beside the city editor's desk and asked: "Mr. — —, can you tell me how to treat slick bees?" "With respect," retorted the city editor as he resumed his perusal of the rivai sheat—Boston Traveler. Lincoln State Bank of Chicago Expensive Drop.

No Chance for HIm A certain minister having noticed a new attendant for several consecutive Sundays, engaged her in conversation after service. Cordially shaking the young blond by the hand, the reverend gentleman asked her name, address, etc., and concluded by asking if he might call upon her. In a rather broken English and very Swedish intonation came this response: "No, tank you, I have a reg-lar feller." The Eternal Why. "Papa," said an inquisitive boy, "don't fishes have legs?" "They do not," answered papa. "Why don't they, papa?" "Because fishes swim and don't require legs." Then he asked, "Papa, ducks have legs, don't thoy?" "Why, yes, ducks have legs," "Well, ducks swim, don't they?" "Yes," "Then why don't fishes have legs, if ducks do? Or why don't ducks not have any legs if fishes don't." Papa gave up.

On her mother's questioning her as to what kept her so long, she exclaimed: "Oh, mother, a horse fell down, and they said they were going to send for a horse doctor. And what do you think? It wasn't a horse doctor at all. It was only a man." Do You Sleep Like a Tiger?

The individual church, the spirit of harmony and the spirit of love were points that were very forcefully brought out by the speaker.

Six young women joined church at the invitation from Dr. Roberts. Sunday evening a good program was rendered by Browns Clerk, Mr. Crawford, Woods, and Mrs. McDowall were practical talks dealing with economic conditions and the so-called Negro problem. Mr. S. Lang Williams gave a report of the work of the Center. Bethel's Literary Society has adjourned for the summer. At the annual election of the Allen C. E.

Malone; librarian, Mr. Spencer, and superintendent of junions, Mrs. S. M. Harris. The work of remodeling and beautifying has started and it is hoped that what has been completed that every dollar for the same will have been paid. The pastor urges that Bethel's congregation will prove their faithfulness by doing their whole duty at this time. WALTERS A. M. E. ZION CHURCH The services at our church on last Sunday was well attended both morning and evening; both of the sermons delivered by our pastor were much enjoyed by the large audiences present. The Enterprise Institute was well represented at the evening service, the address by Mrs. S. J. Gray, also that by the president, Rev. G. H. McDaniels, were highly appreciated. The beauty culture lecture and song recital given on Monday evening by Mme. Alice H. Thomas-Mason and Marie Burton-Hyring was an entertainment of high order. Those not present missed a rare treat. Sunday is on Rally day. There will be three on Rally day. Children will play the morning. Children's day program in the afternoon, Grand Rally at night.

There's been so much commendation of Rev. Eugene Lawrence's talk of Sabbath morning, May 25, which, owing to the demand upon our time interested in other splendid things denied attention, The Defender takes pleasure in using it in the current issue.—Editor. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGA TIONAL FOUND BERMER Chicago's Most Scholarly Divine, Dr. Eugene Lawrence Outside Himself Last Sabbath Morn at the Memorial, Asking the Question, "Who is the Christian Hero?"—He Answered It in a Discourse That for Historical Erudition, Brilliant Metaphor and Scintillating Simile and Reflection, Has Not Been Equaled in Chicago in Many Days—Read Every Word of it. "Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed with about so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and Rev. Eugene Lawrence. perfector of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." Heb. 12:12. "Who," asked the brilliant teacher, "is the Christian hero?" "Is there still a need and a call for Christian heroes? No one will ask the question whether or not Christian heroes was called for during the time of Nero, the bloodiest and most cruel of Roman emperors. "One of the forms of torture resorted to by Nero was to gather a number of the Christians in his garden, have them dressed for the special purpose, oiled and set on fire, while he and his friends looked on from the tower of his palace. These cruel-practices furnished much the same excitement, sport and pleasure for the emperor and his chieftains, as you and I experience when we go to a ball game and with intercourse, or with the rendition that moves us to laughter or tears, when we go to a theater and follow the portrayal of a story of romance, of heros, or of tragedy. "There was, indeed, in the infancy of the Christian church, a call for sublime heroeship; not such as sends the soldier to battle, the explorer to the perils of an unknown sea, or the hazard of the warrior in the attempt to conquer a land, or as men endure for mere honor and fame, but that rare, superlative heroism that imparts to the courage to stand like a rock and, if needs be, to die for his convictions. Such was the heroism of the early Christians. "If now, as then, to be a Christian soldier, you must stand the rack or the stake, how many of us, suppose you, would have the courage to say, I am a Christian?" "At the time of every great crisis there have been a few who dared champion the cause of right at any cost. When in teaching and in practice the Catholic church became so corrupt and tyrannical that men could no longer adjust their conscience to its unscrupulous demands, there began to smoulder the spirit of protest and revolt. Out from the ranks of the slumbering multitudes came John Huss, a man who dared to think for himself, and one who had the courage to express his thoughts. This lofty man was also the founder of the Reformation. He dared to flee from the teachings and wickedness of the Catholic church, and was condemned to burn at the stake. Did he recant? Did he surrender his convictions? Not for his life. It was objection to the mandates of the church and a lease of this present life, or objection to God and his own conscience, and death, the door to a priceless immortality. Which did he choose? Which would you or I choose today? He chose obedience to God and conscience, and became the first great torchlight and standard-bearer for the church. He was also the first ever witnessed. To live and what he believed was right, mean excommunication, imprisonment, death at the stake. "He surrendered his body to the flames, but the cause for which he died triumphed. "One by one, men like Martin Luther, John Calvin, Zwingli, Willett and others, took the stand for a sacer and purer Christianity, and followed the first great martyr to the realms of the precious blest. "What took place? What always takes place when men unreservedly give themselves for a worthy cause? Look out, highwaymen, you who make laws and become the first to break them; look out, middlemen and politicians, you who suffer yourself because the tools of those in authority; look out, men who are trampling upon the week; beware, you who foster the spirit of antagonism between classes, between races, and between nations, for the retribution of God's justice is sure. Beware you who dig pits for your neighbor, or make scaffolds for your enemies, lest you be the first to fall therein or be hanged thereon. "What happened when Luther and his contemporaries took the stand for a purer church and state? Like an irresistible glacier they swept everything that crossed their path. By their teachings and their heroism, Europe as by a succession of volcanic eruptions was stirred from center to circumference and became the seething fury of life. Into that not were thrown the surviving elements of ancient civilization, a modification of all the religions and cults of previous ages. The religious and civil ideas and ideals of ancient Egypt as found in the hieroglyphics upon her pyramids, were collected there; the spirit of conquest and greed which characterized Assyria was there; the prophetic and ethical note which was struck by the israelish prophets aided that processus fusion; the imaginative, romantic, and philosophical ideas of the Greek, reinforced by the discipline of the laws and armies of Rome, helped to make the Reformation necessary and inevitable; shot through and through by the spirit of Christ as the spirit of the age was, nothing less that revolution and reformation could follow. And do you ask what happened? Out of that seething pot was molded a new type of thought; out of the jumble of restlessness, confusion and jungle, a new day, came and were carved the present Christian nations of Europe and the great American Republic; it was the dawning of a new era. As a result of and along with the Reformation the revival of learning broke forth; the spirit of invention and discovery had its birth; by this mighty movement the missionary zeal and enthusiasm which had been put to sleep by the vanity, pride and ambition of popes and prelates, was again kindled in the hearts and minds of the people, and, as during the Reformation, the people were gathered into the Christian church by the hundreds and thousands and the Protestant churches began their great mission of Christianizing the nations of the earth. "Whenever men become fully aware of the fact that theirs is a great heritage and that the heritage must be guarded with unfaltering care and herismo, it will be passed on to others, the masses will become concerned and will apply themselves honestly and enthusiastically to the solution of their problems, they are bound up in. The chief thinkers who are criticized about men in every age and in every race, is not that they lack the inclination, not that they are devoid of the moral sense of responsibility, but rather this, that they require too much coercive force, either physical or mental, or both, in order to start them going. The steady and thoughtful soldier is ready to march and fight at the first call for battle; and they are aroused by the patriotism and courage of first, and they fall in line; and when the cause has grown grave, exciting and spectacular, then the rabble wakes up and falls in line. "When the cause of the American slaves was to be championed, the question was asked, will anyone come forward? Are there any who are worthy? Are not all the heroes dead? And for a long time the whole nation, indeed the whole Christian world, stood breathless, waiting to see if there were those who had the courage to take the stand in the midst of a war. Are they not a curse and should not be tolerated. Did they come forth? You know the philanthropy and statesmanship of Lincoln; you know, also, blessed be his name, how, upon every occasion, Summer became the champion of the anti-slavery; how Beecher faced the mobs in New York and England, and how many of the lesser lights caught the spirit and followed on with enthusiasm and courage until issues of the Civil war brought Reformation had brought religious liberty to the millions suffering from Romish bigotry and crime. In the pulpit, from the halls of Congress, and THE CHICAGO DEFENDER upon the battlefield, the call was answered many thousand strong, and slavery fell—it had to fall. "But in this day when the reform of the Christian church is not marked by any such upheaval as the Reformation of the 16th century, is there a need of and call for the same vigilance and Christian courage? When we no longer have the need of slavery as a problem, is the problem of slavery a function for the exercise of faith and courage? To answer these questions we need only to call to mind the unfair and trying conditions under which so large a proportion of this and other nations has to live. Great gain has been made, conditions have been made much more tolerant, but reform is far from being thorough and lasting; the conditions which slavery formed and its forms changed, and its forms changed, but it has not been abolished. Indeed, we are sometimes made to feel that slavery in its guide, or rather disgise, offers problems quite as grave at those which have been solved. Who will be the Christian heroes of this age? Who will champion the cause of the weak, those who are bearing heaviest and most untreatable out of economic goods? Who will champion the cause of those who in order to help others who largely for want of a fair play, a square deal, in politics and business, have grown discouraged and fallen victims to vice and sin? Are not we living in the midst of just such conditions? Every way you turn you can see discrimination, graft, bribery and oppression. These conditions cannot last indefinitely, a man must be established and maintained upon the principles of honest and justice. A host of witnesses are looking upon the present struggles of the races and nations, the heroes of faith and conquest who have gone before, stand in iried hosts upon the battlements of leaven anxiously scanning the race that we are running. God, the Father of love of compassion, speak to us in the still small voice, saying, be of good courage. "If every age and among every people there have been [those of larger vision and larger hope who, having studied more carefully than the average man, the experiences of their people and times." "They have been moulders and shapers of government; have developed the different systems and methods of education; have been interested in inventions and discoveries; and have been the forerunners and perfectors of civilization in every age." "Such was the vision and character of Saulah. He was not only a preacher, leader, and a statesman, but also a prophet and a statesman, like many who had preceded him, some who were contemporaneous with him, he was anxious for the welfare of the national life of his own people; was greatly concerned about the civic and national welfare of other peoples; but the main burden of his heart was that of spiritual rejuvenation. "Every valley shall be exalted; the races, classes, families and individuals who are in the valley of darkness, ignorance, poverty, misery and sin, are to be lifted up, placed upon a height where the sunlight of God has chased away the gloom, and the agencies of civilization have wiped out ignorance and reduced poverty; and the message of Jesus has brought freedom to the soul. "When men become worn, restless and impatient, the same great soul that spoke cheerfully and hopefully to the restless multitudes. Come to me all ye that labor and are heavy in work, and to you rest, speaks to them inhabiting them to the highway where moral delinquency has been banished, into a social environment which is wholesome and inspiring, and a region where the spiritual atmosphere is clear and invigorating "That which is above can never be made secure until its basis has been rightly and solidly laid. Adjust the now provoking economic conditions of our land, and we will have gone a long way in towards the solution of many of our moral and social problems." God takes us occasionally upon the mountain and gives us a clearer vision of the prospective, a panoramic view of the landscape, and like Peter and the other disciples, we are ready to say, Lord, it is good for us to be here, let us make tabernacles, and dwell here; but alas! we have to find our way back to the valley where the highway is being thrown up for the short-sighted, the humble and the low- ST.

The former continued his Bible class addresses by discussing the Biblical character, "King Hezekiah." Rev. Buell, a native missionary of Slam, who was advertised to give an audience on "Slam, the Land of the White Elephant," was the tapped to speak without the aid of the pictures, due to the asterionic failing to work satisfactory. The lecture, however, was made interesting to the men who were in attendance by the speaker.

THE IDEAL HOME. Beginning with this issue the Defender will publish, exclusively, a series of sermons delivered by Dr. C. Lee Jefferson, of Hope Presbyterian church. The topics which he has selected are hard, noble and inspiring. They bear upon the home and all of home life; and coming from the eloquent pen of Dr. Jefferson, they will be read with much interest. The Ideal Home. "Home is the grandest of all institutions"—Spurgeon. This is a subject of vital importance to every true man and woman; a subject of close to the heart of every patriotic citizen; and a subject about 20,000,000 homes in the United States and about 6,000,000 are Rev. C. Lee Jefferson. formed every year through the legitimate ties of matrimony. The genius of our government recognizes and fosters the individual home or family idea. This being a democratic government instead of a monarchical form of government, the family, or home, is exalted, and is therefore the court of highest appeal in all that pertains to our national welfare. And especially does this subject greatly concern every Afro-American, because we were launched upon the old ship of state practically without families or without homes. This solitary fact has been too often left out of consideration both by our friends and by our footsteps. Hence we have been left largely to the price of unregulated pride, last and appetite in the building of our homes. When, by one stroke of the eternal pen of justice in the hand of the immortal Lincoln, our race was made a full-grown nation, so marvelous and abnormal was our national birth that we were devoid of the true family and home relations. The essential: being of a Christian family is the legitimate union of one man and one woman in holy wedlock. The true family is the oldest human institution in the world—had its origin in the Garden of Eden and in the time of man's innocence and purity. It has been the forerunner of all schools, organizations and civilizations through the ages, whenever and wherever it has allowed to develop along natural lines. False statesmen, philosophers and demagogues have endeavored to rear great civilizations by ignoring this primordial germ of society by overlooking this vital cell, this very archstone of society. But alas, they found to their consternation that their social fabric had no texture; their body potency no vitality and their empirial temple no solidity! Man is born in society; he is an offspring of the community; he begins his own community and he can only develop the highest powers for good and efficiency in the community. No man lives to himself alone, hence any scheme that tends towards the development and perfection of his moral, intellectual and spiritual powers must include a recognition of this difference. This is the indestructible unit. Destroy the nation, state and the tribe; if you spare the family all will be replaced. Desolation may sweep from the earth all systems of government, nations and tribes, but so long as the family remains their reconstruction is maintained, surging spring from whence flows all the sparkling waters of national life. The work of reformation—to cleanse and purify the family—devolves upon the state and church. There must be ideal homes if we would have ideal communities and ideal nations. The home is the holy of holies, where is kept the secret of the Order of a transcript heavenly heavier! The sanctum sanctorum. Here are developed those heavenly ties of affection, whose bonds are stronger than death; here bud all the sweet, heavenly graces of the soul, the tender sympathy and loving service; the essential principles of all divine order.

Wise Bin Gentleman An old gentleman, whose character was unimpeached and unimpeachable, for some slight cause was challenged by a dissolute young Hotspur, who was determined that the old gentleman should give him honorable satisfaction. The old gentleman very goodnatured refused to fight, and the fellow threatened to "gazette" him as a coward. "Well, go ahead—I would rather fill 20 newspapers than one coffin," rejoined the old gentleman. Still Demand for Films Millions of flints are produced annually in England by "knappers," who use much the same tools and work in much the same manner as did the men of the Neolithic age.

Strength of a Nation The foundations of a strong and virile race are laid in the rural districts, and, if agriculture be allowed to decay, no development of industries in the heart of the town will atone for the loss to the nation of that greatest of all industries which makes wealth while it creates manhood. Percy Alley Bare Work of Art Found. A statue of Venus was found in a cellar at Naples a few days ago. The ground floor of a house collapsed suddenly, revealing an ancient cellar containing a magnificent statue of the goddess. The statue is of Parian marble and belongs to the best period of Graeco-Roman art. Can't Take the Picture Seriously. The picture of a man holding a large fish does not necessarily prove that he is telling the truth. Photographers nowadays are too expert in grafting the picture of a fish taken at close range onto the end of a line held by a man whose picture was taken at a considerable distance.

Little Rob's mother, for instance, was telling a visitor how "masterful" another neighbor was in his home life when Rob, unnoticed bes' her, put in his little car. "I don't think Mr. Tate is so awful boss, mamma," he remarked suddenly. "Course he does a lot of talking, but he never makes Mrs. Tate do a thing she doesn't wander, I've noticed that." Foolish Selt Condemnation No comfort for the living or the dead can be won from vain self-denmation. No consolation can be gained while you nurse the imagining that a certain trouble might have been avoided.

Bird Lights Lamp In Greenford, England, a street lamp was found lighted every morning and the lamp lighter could not account for it, so he set a watch who soon found the culprit. A tomit had built its nest in the corner of the lamp, and had a habit of hopping on the ring attached to the incandescent bypass, which caused the light to be turned on. By Their Speech Ye Shall Know Them. A traveler who believed himself to be sole survivor of a shipwreck upon a cannibal is hide for three days in terror of his life. Driven out by hunger, he discovered a thin wisp of smoke rising from a clump of bushes inland, and crawled carefully to study the scene. He reached the clump he heard a voice say: "Why in — did you play that card?" He dropped on his knees and devoutly raising his hands, cried: "Thank God, they are Christians!" Explaining Why They Got Married. In New York recently a lot of post cards were mailed to married men asking them why they had married. Among the replies was one from a man who said he was married to another. Another man answered: "I yearned for company. We now have company all the time—her folks."
