Washington, was one of the graduates in the millinery art and from the teachers' professional course at the recent commencement. In an admirable address, which has been given wide circulation, this brilliant young woman illustrated in a most practical manner how the various branches of education could be taught by means of common material. Using corn as a case in point, Miss Washington showed how this everyday product could be made the basis of computation in arithmetic, subject matter for lessons in grammar, geography and reading and spelling, indicating that in this fashion a student might at the same time acquire a first-hand knowledge of corn-growing, and the infinite possibilities of corn and its manifold by-products.

WEDDING BELLS AT JESS MINE FARM Mr. Dan M. Jackson and Miss Lucy Lindsay are Married at the Pretty Summer Home of Mr. and Mrs. Morris. THE WEDDING IN DETAIL. Jess Mine Farm, the charming summer residence of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. H. Morris, was the scene of the nuptials of Miss Lucy Lindsay and Mr. Dan M. Jackson, manager of the well known and old established Jackson Undertaking Co., at 10 o'clock in the morning of Wednesday, June 11, 1913. Only a few friends of Mr. and Mrs. Dr. George C. Hall, Chairman of the Executive Board of the Wabash Avenue Hospital of the City of C.A. Hall has been an uniting worker since the branch was proposed and his many friends are congratulating him on the completion of the building. Jackson had been made aware of their wedding arrangements, and those few were invited to Benton Harbor on Tuesday, the day preceding the ceremony. Rev. D. P. Roberts, who read the marriage service, in company with Mr. Geo. Holt and Mr. Mrs. D. A. McGowan, accompanied the bride, and joining Major and Mrs. Franklin Denison, gave themselves up completely to the delightful hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Morris and their guest, Miss E. B. Slaughter. Jess Mine Farm, always a garden spot, both by its naturally advantageous location and those touches of culture and cultivation, one has long since learned to associate with its host and hostess, has probably never been the scene of a more pleasing or beautiful affair. Promptly at the hour mentioned, the bride, gowned in a beautiful dress of white eyelet embroidery, with a shower bouquet of white roses, came down to the living room, accompanied by Miss Slaughter, and approached the old English fireplace, which had been made a wedding bower by festoons of smilax and peonies. Overhead hung a beautiful white bell of silk ribbon and roses covered with a veil of shimmering texture. After the bride had been given away by Mr. Morris and the ceremony was over, the guests were seated to a wedding breakfast, fully in keeping with the other beautiful arrange- L. Wilbur Messer, General Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago. ments. The table was decorated with individual place cards, ornamented with tiny orange blossoms and accompanying each plate were miniature Cupids. In the center of the table was a basket of smilax, roses and white carnations tied with a bow of white beaded gauze. After a five course service, conspicuous by individual ice cream bells ornamented with tiny bows of pink ribbon, and heart shaped boxes covered with white silk, containing small portions of the groom's cake, the guests gave themselves up to the luxury of the summer porch and grounds overlooking RACE PREJUDICE IN NASHVILLE. Worst "Jim Crow" City in the South—Race Pays Full Fare on Cars but Gets No Accommodation. Nashville, Tenn., June 13.—This city, supposed to be one of the fairest in the South with regard to the treatment of the Negro, is cursed with a "Jim Crow" system the like of which is to be found in no other section of the country. The L. & N. railway is the one railroad to refuse to provide anything approaching decent accommodations for colored people. As no smoking car is provided, both men and women are compelled to ride on the same car; they are compelled to use the same toilets, and in addition to all of this they are required to pay full fare just the same as other accommodations. The train leaving Nashville for Birmingham early each morning is a disgrace not only to this railroad but to modern civilization as well. N. CLARK SMITH AND HIS BAND IN ALABAMA N. CLARK SMITH AND HIS BAND IN ALABAMA Large Audience Pleased by Band Made Up of Tuskegee Students. Tour Auspiciously Inaugurated at Montgomery Theater. TO PLAY IN CHICAGO SOON. Special to the Chicago Defender. Montgomery, Ala., June 13.—In a program covering a wide range the Tuskegee Institute band, orchestra and chorus, pleased an audience that filled the Montgomery theater Monday night. The 100 musicians arrived in Montgomery Sunday afternoon, beginning the summer tour of the south and west. The party will leave for Birmingham this morning. Under the direction of Prof. N. C. Smith, the band made a most creditable showing and gave every evidence of careful training and conscientious practice. The program was varied as to composers, the most interesting numbers being those dealing with the race, and inspired by his hopes, aspirations, fears, beliefs and longings. One of the numbers, a composition by Prof. Smith, that represents, perhaps, the spirit typifying the ideals of progress and achievement of the lead- Mr. Tilghman, who gave $1,000 to help build the Y, M, G, A, and who turned the first shovel of earth. Mr. Tighman, who gave $1,000 to help build the Y. M. C. A. and who turned the first shovel of earth. ers of the race, was a waltz, "The Colored Prima Donna." The theme of the waltz is a prophecy; the prediction dealing with the future of the race. Emerging from sorrow and distress, the spirit of the race will sing a new song for her people's guidance, that of thrift, energy and courage. Other numbers of greatest interest were the folk melody suite, the airs coming down from the slaves, and in which could be traced the humble and unquestioning submission and the infinite patience and passive endurance of the race during past ages. The new plantation melodies and the plantation song cycle, under the latter head being "Dreamin'" and "My Rose," vocal solos with orchestra accompaniment, also were characterized by the weird, sensuous and harmonious attributes of old time melody. The program was begun with a march, "Tuskegee Institute," dedicated to Dr. Booker T. Washington. There were selections from Rossini, Lampe, Von Suppe and others. BANKER RETURNS FROM WEST BADEN. President Librand of the Lincoln State Bank, Thirty-first and State streets, is back at his desk again after a short vacation which he spent at West Baden. The new bank building is nearing completion and he wears a contented smile. Lake Michigan. After the customary felicitations to the bride and groom, the guests came back to Chicago by evening train. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson will spend a short honeymoon at the farm, after which they will be at home to their numerous friends of 3242 Calumet avenue. A GOOD CHANCE TO LEARN MILITARY LIFE The Chicago Defender Calls on the Boys of the Race to Take Advantage of This Opportunity —To be Taught by Experts. GOV'T TO ESTABLISH MILITARY CAMPS. Boys from Various Educational Institutions to Enter Two United States Government Camps During Summer. Washington, D. C., June 13.—(Special.)—College students, some from Illinois, will enter special army camps to be established for their benefit during the forthcoming vacation season. One of the camps will be at Gettysburg, Pa., and the other at the Presidio at Monterey, Cal. The plan originated with Maj. Gen. Wood and was approved by Secretary Garrison. Approximately 500 collegians will attend the two camps. The plan for the encampments, at William J. Parker, Business Manager of the Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago. which the college men will be taught some of the rudiments of military life, was presented to the college men of the east and west, through the heads of more than 100 institutions. Favorable responses have been received from the college presidents, among them the heads of the University of Illinois, the Iowa Agricultural and Mechanical College, Indiana University, the University of Minnesota, the University of Michigan, Purdue University, the Renssaler Polytechnic and others. SAVED HER TIPS. "Miss Kittie," the popular waitress in the restaurants around 31st and State streets for the past ten years, has opened a cafe of her own. It is called the "O. K." and is located at 3083 Dearborn street. "Miss Kittie" says she saved her money, although it took her ten years to do it. Everyone knows what a competent waitress Miss Kittie Scott is, so the success of the "O. K." is assured. MAJ. R. R. JACKSON IS BANQUETED. Legislator Highly Honored at Dining Room De Luxe. Maj. R. R. Jackson was highly honored on last Saturday evening with a stag at the Dining Room De Luxe, 3528 Wabash avenue. Mr. H. T. Connall, a personal friend of the guest, was responsible for the event. Fifteen representative citizens were present and heard Maj. Jackson deliver an address on how he came to run for the legislature, what it cost for the recount, and what it meant to have a member of the race in the legislature during these trying times. It was a surprise to the major, and the menu J. E. Moorland, International Secretary of Young Men's Christian Associations. served by Miss Maud Hurley and Mrs. Jackson, proprietors of the De Laux, caused those present to pay a high compliment to the ladies for the excellent service rendered and the delicious courses served. Champion Jack Johnson will again face Federal Judge Carpenter on Wednesday morning, when the appeal taken in his case will be heard. Interesting Advertising Stunt—Chicago Suspenders—St. Joe Lard, and the Prayer that Was Written in Jerusalem. Mr. William Washington, a nephew of Mr. Charles B. Travis, the real estate dealer at 3333 State street, is a house painter in Brewton, Ala., and this is the way he tells his customers about it: "Alabama Farmer. "The average Alabama farmer buys canned and dried fruits, likewise other canned and dried goods. He gets up at the alarm of a Connecticut clock, fastens his Chicago suspenders to his Detroit overalls, washes his face with Cincinnati soap in a Pennsylvania wash pan, sits down to a Grand Rapids table and eats Indiana hominy fried in St. Joseph' hard on a St. Louis stove. Then he puts a St. Louis bridle on a Tennessee mule and plows a farm covered by an Ohio mortgage. When bedtime comes he reads a Bible printed in Chicago, says a prayer written in Jerusalem and crawls under a blanket made in New Jersey, only to be kept awake by an Alabama dog, which is about the only home-raised product on the place. "William Washington. "Practical House Painter, Brewton, Ala." Well-Known Milwaukee Hotel Mn to Operate Famous Hostelry. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Milwaukee, Wis, June 13.—The Defender correspondent, seeing Mr. David McGowan of Chicago in the city Thursday, followed him and the trip led to the Turf Hotel. Here it was learned that Milwaukee is to lose its progressive citizen, Mr. L. J. Shaughter, who has conducted the hotel for so many years. He has sold the Turf and has purchased from Mr. McGowan the famous Keystone Hotel, 3022 State street, Chicago. Mr. Shaughter will open the Keystone July 1. The employees of the Northwestern railway met at Mason Hall last Sunday afternoon and organized a club to be known as the Northwestern Club. Mr. P. T. Tinsley presided; Mr. Eaves was the secretary. The following members were present: Messrs. Samuel Lee, Robert Johnson, J. M. Wardard, Henry Sturt, P. T. Tinsley, W. H. Plummer, W. L. Simpson, W. H. Eaves, Claud Williams, Milwaukee. The object of the club is to help the members both in sickness and health. The new club is welcome, but The Chicago Defender wishes that they would go a step farther and make up a fund and open a department store or some other business so that we can give our boys and girls work and keep them off of the street. INGTON AT HARVARD. By invitation of the Harvard Union Dr. Booker T., Washington will be one of the lecturers next year at Harvard University. This is a rare distinction, and it is not doubted that the eminent Tuskegeean will give a good account of himself and represent the race at its best—as he always does.

Washington, D. C., June 13.—Beneath the stately cliffs on its own campus, high above the city's busy hum, to the tuneful accompaniment of twittering birds, and in the presence of 2,000 friends of the higher aspirations of the Negro race, were held last Wednesday afternoon the forty-fourth annual commencement exercises of Howard University. The day was beautiful, the audience was enthusiastic and representative of the best thought and activities of the nation, and the occasion, as a whole, was considered the most successful that the time-honored school has yet experienced. The Week In Brief The proceedings of "commencement day" were the culmination of a week of preliminary affairs, which embraced the class day exercises of the School of Theology, College of Arts and Sciences, the Nurse Training Class, the Normal Training Class, the Teachers' College, the Academy, the Commercial College and the Conservatory of Music. On Sunday, the baccalaureate sermon, a truly scholarly effort, was delivered in Andrew Rankin Memoria Chapel by Rev. Dr. Stephen Morrell Newman, president of the university. On Wednesday, prior to the exercises on the campus, were held the annual meeting and social reunion of the Howard University Alumni, which held a business session and listened to an admirable address by Isaac H.

Assistant Secretary Miller Speaks. On commencement day the academic procession reached the al fresco platform at 4:30 p. m., led by President Newman, attired in the pictureque cap and gown of his scholastic rank, followed by the faculty of the university, similarly garbed, and many distinguished visitors. After the invocation by Rev. I. N. Ross, pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, of this city, President Newman introduced as the speaker of the day, the Hon. Adolph C. Miller, of California, first assistant secretary of the interior, who came as the official representative of the Hon. Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior, who, at the last moment, found himself unable to be present. A Panorama of Events. While the immense audience was gathering and at intervals throughout the program, the Howard University orchestra, directed by Prof. Joseph H. Douglass, discourses choice music, including selections from Von Suppe's "Poet and Peasant," "Lucia," "I ll Trovare," and medleys from the standard operas. The boxes were filled with the members of the Alumni Association, grouped by class banners. There were representatives of classes as far back as 1872.

VAN PELT TAKES BATH IN KITCHEN; FALLS ON STOVE. What at first was thought to be a Saturday night brawl proved to be the upsetting of a new portable military tub, invented by Maj. Van Pelt of the Sth III. Loud noises and hollowing water splashing against the windows and a mixup with the stove, cries of murder, fire, police, brought dozens of people to the rear of the Major's home, only to learn that he tried to stand on the rim of his newly invented tub when it overturned and threw hi mon a hot stove with the foregoing results. The Major has been unable to use any of the chairs around home, and when at church he insists on being with the ushers, and at his place of business, 3608 State street, he refuses to play checkers with you unless you stand. Several of his fellow workers are trying to get him in on the police force until he recovers fully his troubles. LOT OWNERS' MEETING.

Mrs. Julia Yelzer Johnson Writes a Play, Which Will Be Presented Saturday Afternoon, June 14, at the Pekin Theater for the Benefit of Provid- dent Hospital. There are no questions as to the accomplishments along all lines by the members of the race; yet there are few who have attempted play writing; nevertheless, now and then some one bobs up with something they have accomplished along that line. The latest one to present anything in that direction is Mrs. Julia Yeizer Johnson, who wrote the drama, "Thy Will Be Doe," which will be presented to the public Saturday afternoon at 2:30 at the Pekin Theater for the benefit of Provident Hospital. Mrs. Minnie Adams, well known to the dramatic and music loving people, has had the cast under rehearsal for the last few months, thereby assuring all who lend their presence of an afternoon well spent, say nothing of the cause. Miss Geraldine Hodges and Mr. George Garner will be seen in the leading roles, assisted by a cast well qualified to give a creditable performance. Mrs. Marie Burton Hyrum will be the soloist. This affords an opportunity to support a worthy affair for a worthy institution presented by a worthy cast and wrote by a worthy young woman. May Be Some Truth in This.

Let's keep the swatter high, Dust off the dirt and dirt, And sweat the muggy air. Give the children a chance to play in field or park or wood, in rocky or sandy ground, day by day. And be of lasting good. For God's fresh air and his blue skies for God's bright visions to the flowers Will show their vibrations to their eyes Through all the golden hours. Perhaps of rhyme we've had enough—Some folks don't like this sort of stuff—Although a little now and then, they will do it, But dropping verse and speaking plain, And getting back to earth again; Now that soon will come the summer We should be careful what we eat: Meats and cakes and salad! Meats and gravies and rich Are not the best when the weather is not cold. And unless used lightly may do much harm. Another good stunt: when the weather is hot Keep out of the sun: for, like as not to go to the beach will that be nice. And be taken in from off the street. To a place where, though it may be nice, The doctors and nurses will pack you While they call up your home and tell your wife They are doing their best to save your life. So, during these not summer days, Do not leave your home. Do nothing that will your temperature raise. Don't hurry. Keep your heat, the cheer and kind, Don't grumble.

Tom Belding was the last person on earth Jennette Dodge wished to meet that sunshine morning. When a girl has quarreled with the man she loved, flung back his ring and driven him invocably from her home, the sight of his doleful countenance is not the best morning-after sedative. But, as Belding swung around the corner at Ninety-sixth street, she realized that he had seen her. She knew it was too late for dignified retreat; so, with profound obliviousness, she craned her brown head out over the curb and began to watch a street car as it rattled down Eighth avenue. There was a quick step on the sidewalk, and Belding halted determinedly at her side. "Morning," greeted the most familiar voice in the world. "I've still got your ring. Won't you take it back?" Ingratiatingly he exhibited a gleaming solitaire. She looked upon him in chilling scorn. "I told you last night that I didn't want your ring," she reminded him bitterly. "I want you never to address me again." "Just let me talk with you a half hour," he pleaded. "I'm going for a walk in the park. Come with me, and I'm sure we can straighten out this miserable business." "I'll never again go to the park with you," she declared. "You'll please stop annoying me." With her slender shoulders held rigid beneath an awful weight of disdain, she marched into the street and signaled the motorman of the approaching street car. Again she heard Belding's footsteps behind her, and, with angry precipitacy, she tried to climb to the back of the platform before the car had entirely stopped. Her finger clutched the hand rail, but her toe caught beneath the step. As she was jerked forward by the checking momentum of the car, her suede pump slipped from her foot and dropped to the street. Whirling with a little cry of dismay, she saw Belding stoop quickly to the pavement beneath the car platform, and then jump to the step with his hand tucked serenely in his coat pocket. "Board!" called the conductor; and Belding, without a glance, pushed past the girl and entered the car. Her eyes widened indignantly as she saw him drop into a rear seat, draw a newspaper from his pocket and calmly begin to read. Jeanette stood for a moment irresolute, balancing herself precarously in the remaining pump, and with the other foot gingerly uplifted. Then, like a lame robin, almost limping, and not quite hopping, she followed Belding and sat down stillly beside him. He rattled his newspaper unsociably, and drew an inch nearer the window. Puckering his brows to an almost painful degree of concentration he immersed himself many fathoms deep in the market news. The girl regarded him with crush- The girl regarded him with crushing contempt. "You'll pardon me, sir, but I wish my slipper," she declared. The newspaper crackled austerely. She glared at him in astonished rage. "Give me my slipper!" she repeated. Belding slowly raised his head, and me her eyes with distant courtesy. "Excuse me, Miss Dodge," he murmured. "Did you address me?" "I did!" she blazed. "You have my slipper. I want it!" He lowered his newspaper and placed his hand tentatively in his pocket. "You must be mistaken," he observed after a pause. "Have you looked on your foot?" With grave inquiry he glanced downward, but she hastily drew her silk tie beneath the hem of her skirt, flushing as she observed a girl watching them half-titteringly from across the aisle. "Oh, this is outrageous!" she snapped. "I'm glad I found out in time the sort of bully you are. Are you going to give me my slipper?" "No," he replied. I'm not. Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to read. I'm getting off at Seventy-seventh street." He burped his nose in the newspaper, indicating by the interposition of a board shoulder that the conversation, so far as he was concerned, had ended. White and anxious she sat in silence while the car continued the trip down Eighth avenue. She thought she knew Belding well enough to retrain her old confidence to carry the car beneath any sort of provocation. But his new brusqueness of demeanor, his set jaw and the unfriendly look of his eyes had given her sudden misgivings. Heretofe he had always joyously responded to her slightest whim. He certainly was not stubborn but— As the car passed Seventy-eighth street, he folded his paper and, ignoring Jeanette, quietly crowded past her into the aisle. "My slipper!" she demanded furiously. Belding unconcernedly strode to the platform. The car slowed up at the next corner, and, swinging to the step, he lightly dropped to the street. Jeanette realized, with a gas of consernation, that he actually intended to loot the car unhindered. Frantically she motioned the conductor and jumped from her seat, exposing a silk stockinged jacket to the amazed view of several passengers. With averted face and blazing cheeks she hobbled to the rear of the car and stepped to the pavement, followed by an explosive snicker from the conductor. Belding had already crossed the street and was entering the park. Desperately she pursued him, daintily picking her way as she hurried along with a strange, uneven step. As she reached the curbing Belding suddenly faced about. He looked at her with insolent surprise. "Are you following me?" he demarred. "I don't care to be followed, you know." "Yes, I'm following you," she re- ported in a voice tense with outraged feeling. "I'll follow you until we meet a policeman. He'll know how to treat a man of your start." "In that case," invited Belding, "come along." He turned and strolled up the graveled path, whistling lightly and flucking at pebbles with his walking stick. But for the absence of her slipper, Jeanette might have found amusement in her tandem walk. Belding had chosen an unfrequented path, flanked on, both sides by dense bushes. He marched unreentently ahead, while she trudged helplessly in his wake. Her sense of the riddle might then have rescued them both, from shamely exaggerated situation; but she was suddenly and sharply reminded of her shoppers predicament when she placed her foot with bruising force upon a pebble in the path. "Pretty rocky going for a few feet here," he called cheerly. "I'll help you over." Before she could protest he had returned to her side and lifted her gently to her feet. Smothering her struggles in a bear-like grip he carried her a dozen steps up the path, and then set her down lightly in a patch of soft, green grass. "That's better," he said. "Now we can go on looking for that officer." "But—" she began protestingly. "Oh, please give me my slipper!" "Are you ready to say that you've forgotten last night—that everything is to go on as before?" he quizzed earnestly. "Certainly not! Never!" she flashed. "Oh, then perhaps we'd better be finding your policeman," he suggested pleasantly. "You're a boor!" she exclaimed. "Bad names never did make me amiable," he hinted. "And you're asking me a favor, too!" "A favor!" she cried with fierce irony. "By demanding the return of my slipper, I suppose! That's not asking a favor of you. You can be sure I'll never do that again!" "You also said you wouldn't come to the park with me," he taunted. "Yet, here you are! I'm amazed!" "I didn't come with you!" she expostulated heededly. "I only chased you—as one does a thief. That's entirely different." "Now that you've caught me, then, why don't you call a cop?" he mocked. He stopped and peered through the undergrowth. "I believe I see a helmet over there now." "Why do you keep harping on that?" she asked with a little heat. "I don't want to have you arrested—I just want my slipper." "And I," he drawled—"I think I'll finish my walk." He turned on his heel end startled briskly up the path. She stood alone in the grass watching his disappearing back with growing concern. When she understood that he really intended leaving her, she suddenly felt her brave determination wavering. "Tom!" she cried despairingly. "Tom, please come back!" He responded with startling cagerness. Twenty steps brought him panting to her side. "You've reconsidered?" he asked expectantly. He reproachful eyes became softer as she read the huguay pleading in his face. "What else could I do?" she wailed. "You're so cruel and unrelenting, and there's a hole in my stocking. Did you expect me to stay all night in the park?" "We'll go home together!" he exulted, edging closer. She drew away with a quick movement, and held up her hand sternly. "The slipper first!" she commanded. He placed his hand in his pocket, and then glanced at her in deep embarrassment. "Let me go find a taxi and take you home," he carried. "The slipper!" she reiterated. He laughed uncertainly. "Why, I—I have no slipper," he confessed. "My pump!" she cried in dismay. "Didn't you pick it up when you got on the car?" "Not I," he declared. "I didn't know you'd lost it until you sat down by me." "But I saw you stoop," she accused. "What did you pick up?" "This," he answered, removing his hand from his pocket and showing her the solitaire ring. "I dropped it when I followed you to the car. I hoped I might need it again; so I picked it up." He held out the ring appealingly. "Won't you take it back?" he whispered. Impulsively she removed her glove and offered her finger. "I might as well," she admitted.

Those who attended the services at the Institutional Church last Sunday morning were treated to an elegant sermon by Dr. H. M. Fenwick. His subject was "Religious Sanity" delivered in the "Fenwickian" style, teeming with sprightly wilt and full of wholesome truth. The choir of well trained voices gave us superb and soul-inspiring music. Dr. Carey was absent, having gone to Jefferson City, Mo., to deliver the baccalaureate sermon before the graduating class of Lincoln Institute. He stopped over in Springfield, Ill., on his return, being interested in important matters pending before the legislature. He returned to the city Thursday morning and will occupy his pulpit tomorrow. Everyone around the institutional Church is on the qui vive now in anticipation of the thirteenth anniversary celebration during the week of June 22 to 29. Several high church dignitaries and a number of notable citizens are on the program to take part. The United Methodist Home Movement for Dependent Children will install its newly elected officers at its next regular meeting to be held in Bethel Church, 30 and Dearborn streets, Thursday, June 19, at 8 p. m. All are cordially invited to attend. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGATIONAL "Men and Women," Thundered Pastor Lawrence, "Still Make Themselves Slaves of Passion, but the Wholesale Onslaught Upon the Virtues of Black Women by White Men Without the Victim's Consent Should Not Be Tolerated by Our National Conscience"—Nevertheless the Rulns of Empires, the Passing of the Glories of Antiquity, All Prove, Said the Brilliant Christian Teacher, the Betterment of the World. Text, Revelation 21:1. Subject, "A New Heaven and a New Earth." "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away." "Last Sabbath morning," said Dr. Lawrence, as many eyes were directed expectantly upon him, "we were considering the preparation for the coming and acceptance of the great Teacher and His message. "In our text for the morning the note which is struck indicates a decided gain over the declaration of Isaiah, the prophet, although the message of the prophet was filled with the ring of hope and triumph. "It presents a picture of conquest and victory, a new order having heen JOHN H. BURKE --- Rev. Eugene Lawrence created and established out of the old, passes before the prophet's vision. "Whatever the apostle may have meant by the phrase 'a new heaven and a new earth' we cannot be certain; we know that there is to it a great spiritual application and significance. "During the life of the apostle, for he was at the time when he gave expression to the words of the text a very aged man, great changes had taken place, changes in every phase of life. The material conditions had changed, the social conditions had been greatly modified, and the moral outlook was made brighter and more hopeful. So that not only in a symbolic sense but also in a literal sense the apostle looked out upon a new heaven and a new earth. "God gave him a vision of the future, and in it he saw the old order had passed and a new one had been established. "In the centuries that have followed the vision of Patmos how vast have been the changes! When the apostle wrote the words of the text, Western civilization hadn't begun. Europe for the most part was popped by detached communities of semi-civilized races and America was not so much as thought of. "Then Roman civilization dominated, but, although they waged great wars and conquered many peoples, they had no cannon, none of our modern ships, no printing press or modern mail service, no telegraph or cable lines, no steam or electric cars or telephones, no automobiles thromged the Appian Way. This is indeed a new age, a new world. The leading nations of the world have condemned war as barbarous and inhuman. "We no longer accept as just the old adage: 'Might makes right.' By the application of science to the old methods of invention and discovery, the once scattered and strange peoples of the earth have become neighbors, so that they can converse with each other at a few minutes' notice. By means of scientific discoveries agriculture has taken such leaps and bounds and so facilitated commerce and trade that millionaires have become more numerous than were the orators of Greece or the gladiators of Old Rome. Where there were dense forests, towns and cities have sprung up, and where there were swamps and marshes, fertile fields are being cultivated. Physically, we see a new world. "But what about the ethical aspects of the new heaven and new earth? What do we see? The same old state of affairs, the same conditions which --- Y.M.C.A. MY DREAM HAS COME TRUE. I HAVE MADE GOOD.

'And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away.' WITH THE "BADGERS." The Latest News From Milwaukee Oshkosh—Racine and Other Po in Wisconsin. "The civilization of ancient Egypt once declared itself imperishable, but except as it has been absorbed by other peoples or reveals its high value from the inscriptions of its old roles, it is but a dream, Babylon, the strong, powerful and wicked city of ancient Assyria, once-boasted that to her victories there would be no end; but today what of her? She belongs to a dead, dead past. The Hebrews once believed that their religion was strong and vital enough to make all nations and peoples fall at their feet and to perpetuate their ascendancy, but 'there's none so poor as to do them reverence' today. The Romans declared their mighty empire to be as lasting as the hills, and that the gods had decreed their eternal right to rule, but we think of 'eternal Rome'—not to scoff, let us hope—when we see the Italian with his music-box and monkey or pushing his handcart through the streets calling out 'Bananas!' France once staked her supremacy upon the genius, skill and superiority of statesmanship of Napoleon, but Napoleon met his Waterloo, England, in dealing with the thirteen original colonies, mistook the voice of true warning for that of the disgruntled pessimist. What took place? War followed, ending in the establishment of the American republic. "Our statement was that we need both the unpleasant cry of the pessimist, who continues to prophesy 'this is an evil generation, a corrupt age', and the cheerful and buoyant voice of the optimist saying, 'God is in His heaven, and all is well with the world.' "No one will deny that physicians of today can and do effect cures which to have done a thousand years ago would have appeared more miraculous than many of the miracles performed by Jesus. Christ calmed the man of the tombs of whom it was said he could not be tamed, not even bound with chains. And when He had ministered to his disease the man sat at His feet clothed in his right mind. To the people of that day that was a wonderful act, but today we have hundreds and thousands of similar cases restored to their normal condition without any special comment. 'Greater works than these shall ye do.' "This is, without dispute, the most enlightened age the world has witnessed, but let us briefly compare the ethical aspects of today with those of yesterday. Men may still be lynched in the South and shot down in the North with little disturbance to the conscience of the communities and to that of the nation, but four millions of the American people could not be subjected to the slavery of fifty years ago. Men and women may still make themselves slaves to passion, as many do; we may hear of an occasional outcry of rape, more than half of which, if the truth were sought, would, to say the least, not be raps at all, but the wholesale onslaught upon the virtues of black women by white men, without the victim's consent, should not be tolerated today by our national conscience any more than it should by the conscience of the white male directly concerned. "Vice and crime still stalk high in the dives and dens of almost every town and city in the union, and the social conditions (growing quite largely out of the economic conditions of the country, as I shall continue to insist) are bad, but for all that more is being done for the unfortunate in a systematic, Christian way than at any previous period in the world's history. "Men will not permit themselves to be captivated by the passionate cloquence of ministers and swept into the churches by the hundreds and thousands, as was true at one time; and this to me is hopeful rather than discouraging. Men today want to hear more about why Christ died on the cross than the spectacular and exciting circumstances accompanying His death; more about why He died and less about how He died. Men will not suffer you today—that is, thinking men—to take advantage of their feelings and emotions and, so far as formality is concerned, drag them into the Christian ranks as by the scalp; but if an example of the Supreme life is set, before them they will address their conscience to it, they will hear you appeal to emulate that life. And although they may not seem to heed, deep down in their hearts they bear witness, saying, "That is the life I ought to live, and I will." "The keener the ethical conscience the more hideous crime appears: No: the world is not growing worse but better.

He will be welcomed gladly by the citizens as there are no lawyers here, and having a wide field he should have a great success.

Remarkable Attitude of Prayer While in Wait for Prey Has Made It Unique Among Creeping Things of Earth. Most persons know the praying mantis—that large, greenish, grasshopper-like insect which holds up adoring arms as if venerating some deity of the woods, or making an invocation—an oracle among insects, as the old Greeks thought it. But these attitudes of prayer conceal the most atrocious habits; these supplicating arms, to fall into Fabre's picturesque phrasing, are lethal weapons; these fingers tell no rosaries, but exist to seize the passer-by. Although a member of a vegetarian family, the mantis feeds exclusively upon its living prey. It is a tiger in ambush; and if only it had sufficient strength its aggrish appetite and its horrible facility of concealment by color and form among the green leaves where peaceful insects travel would make it the terror of the countryside. At first glance it does not look very terrible. Its neck is flexible and it can turn its head and look with sharp eyes in all directions, but no formidable jaws afright a victim. In its powerful uplifted [forelimbs] lies the hidden danger, the cruel trap. Each long thigh, shaped like a flattened spindle, carries on the forward half of its lower face a double row of steely spines, alternately long and short; and three needellike spikes, longest of all, rise behind the parallel rows, between which the fore leg lies when folded in "prayer." This fore part of the leg is similarly armed, but with smaller spikes, and terminates in a hook with a blade like a pruning knife and a tip as sharp as a needle. Handle the insect incautiously, and this armament discovers itself to you instantly, thrusting its needles and blades into your flesh, gripping you in a stinging vise and forcing you to crush it to get free. When the mantis is in repose these weapons are folded and pressed against the chest, showing nothing of their ferocity. The bandit's sword is sheathed and it seems at its devotions. But let a victim come within reach and the ruse—if ruse it be—is abandoned like a flash. The three long joints of the deadly forelimbs straighten and shoot out their talons, which strike the victim like the unsheathed claws of a cat and drag it back between the saws of the thighs. The vise closes with an upward motion, as a man would bring his hand up to his shoulder, and no cricket, grasshopper, beetle or spider can struggle out of the crook of that terrible elbow.—Harper's Weekly. Post Cards in India India is the only country, perhaps, in which the postcard may be said to be a real success, remarks a writer in T. P.'s Weekly. In India it exactly supplied a want. The card is cheap (it costs only ½d), and it is complete in itself. Stamps and envelopes have to be wetted. The gum may have been made of the hoofs or horns of the cow, and the thought of possible defilement of *caste* comes in. The postcard has no drawback. Its publicity, which makes English people dislike it, is not considered a disadvantage by the Indian. He reads other people's letters as a matter of course, and expects other people to read his. I have often seen a postman seated by the street side sorting out his postcards, surrounded by an interested little crowd. He and they are reading as many of the postcards as there is time for, and no one appears conscious of irregularity in the proceeding. More British Doctors By a change in the by-laws of the Royal College of Physicians in London, made in December last, says the British Medical Journal (London), the number of persons entitled to use the title of "Doctor" in Great Britain has been largely increased, although, curiously enough, the number of qualified physicians remains precisely the same. The fact is that until this change all British physicians were not entitled to be called "Doctor." Only those who had received the doctoral degree from a university were so entitled. The Royal college gives diplomas to its graduates, but has no power to confer degrees. To the ordinary citizen, however, a physician is a "Doctor," degree or no degree; and the British apostles of red tape have been obliged to bow to the popular will. The Royal College of Physicians of London, by the alteration in its by-laws, has recognized this fact. Took His Flag. Three-year-old Arthur was taken by his parents to call upon Mrs. L., who had recently come to this country from London. He was greatly interested in everything he saw, and particularly in a little English flag. "That is my flag, Arthur," said Mrs. L. in answer to his inquiry, "and," showing him an American flag, "this is your flag." "Has it always been my flag?" He was told that it had always been his flag. Nothing more was said until time for their departure, when Arthur calmly remarked, "I will take my flag." And he took it—for, some way or other, explanations seemed so inadequate. Why Youngster Was Mad. "You're a nice fellow," said the new pastor to the small son of the household where he was making his first call. "Come over here and shake hands and let's get acquainted, won't you?" "Nope," was the grudging answer. "Won't, either." "But why not, sonnie?" from the surprised visitor. "Why don't you want to be friends with me? I haven't done anything to hurt or vex you, have I?" "Yep! Had to have my face an' hands washed-'an' my Sunday clothes on just 'cause you've come." ANCIENT CITY TO HAVE FETE Witham, England, Near London, Will Celebrate its 1,000 Years in History. London. Withlham is a jittle town of Essex, thirty-nine miles northeast from London, which is to celebrate its millennary this year. It has a population of about 3,500 and is situated on the River Brain, also known as the Gulth, a form indicating the origin of the name of the town. In the days of the ancient Britons it is said the place was called Gulth-avon. In that part of the town called Chipping Hill are earthworks thought to be the remains of fortifications ordered made by Edward the Elder in 913, but held by some to be of British origin. Roman bricks appear in the old Church of St. Nicholas. The tower of the church formerly was of COTSWOLD Chipping Hill. wood, but was rebuilt with brick in 1743. An old smithy there is pointed out as one where Dick Turnhill stopped to have his horses shod when on one of his pilgrimages for plunder. The Spread Eagle hotel is six centuries old and has been said to be the only four-gabled inn to be found in England. Witham will recall events of 1,000 years ago, including the reconquest of England from the Danes. DOLL SOLACED DYING MOTHER Kansas Woman Took Substitute for Her Dead Baby Down to the Grave. Trinidad, Colo.—It was only a doll—a big, golden-haired, "shut-up" doll; but to the fever-racked mother who tossed on tear-stained pillows in the county hospital, it took the place of another little doll in a Kansas cemetery. She cared for it as she had cared for the baby which death had taken from her. And as death approached she hugged the waxen image to her breast and begged that it share her grave. She was penniless, a county charge; she looked forward only to a tiny plot in the potter's field. But her pleas touched the doctors who attended her and a little group of hospital attendants afterward stood beside a new grave made in the Catholic cemetery where lay the woman and doll. The woman was Mrs. Florence Stancel of Great Bend, Kan. She came to Trinidad two months ago, just a month after her three-year-old girl died. She had quarreled with her husband, she said, and left her home. One day she saw the big doll in a store window. It was just the size of her dead baby. She bought it, and from a trunk took the little clothes her own baby had worn. With them she dressed the doll. Around its neck she placed a necklace of beads and earrings adorned its waxen ears. It was only a doll, but when her constitution broke down and peritonitis set in, she took it with her to the hospital to remind her always of her own little one. And thus it lay beside her body in the morgue; and thus it was buried by her side. REAR-END-BOW HAT TOO MUCH Monkey Saw the Green Creation and Zoo Parade Was on the Blink. New York.—One of those funny little the green hats with the bow behind like a rudder, known on Broadway as an "ingrowing Willyboy lid," nearly spoiled the spring parade of Baldy and Susan and the other monkeys at the Bronx zoo the other afternoon. The bonnet was on Beau until he realized, and then— Well, no one really blame Baldy. He did look ill. It was the big monkey event of the year. Susan was all a flutter in a new silk gown, Bulgarian style. Baldy had on a new light gray suit, patent leather shoes and red socks. He was so taken with his new raiment that he didn't pay any attention to the hat at first. A big crowd was watching the parade, when Baldy took off the lid to wave welcome. As he replaced it he caught the first sight of the bw behind. He gave Susan a wallop with it, placed the brim in his teeth and it was all off. The other monks became frightened and climbed into nearby trees and discipline was at a discount. Baldy was the last to subside. Whenever he spied a shred of the hat he became frantic. A new black hat has been ordered for Baldy and the bow will be on the side.

San Francisco.—Of 25 additional members of the police force to be appointed here, three will be women, according to action taken by the board of supervisors. It is announced that the force of women will be increased as rapidly as conditions warrant. M'DONALD'S DISCOVERY By ZELIA M. WALTERS. The prospective boarder was making searching inquiries, some of them reflecting upon the housekeeper. Most women would have resented it, but this timid little widow was so anxious to get the boarder who would pay in advance that she answered his questions weekly. "And now, madam, are there any children in the house?" he concluded. The little widow hesitated for an instant and then said: "No, sir." "I think, then, I'll take the room." The next day he moved into the room. He found the first week that the breakfaits were going to suit, and the widow, instead of being talkative and inquisitive, was very quiet. After the first few weeks of satisfaction and self-congratulation he began to notice little Mrs. hurt. She was good to look upon and well worth any man's notice. Coming home one day he saw two children playing under a tree in Mrs. Burt's garden. He thought they must be trespassers for, when he opened the gate, the boy started up with a look of terror and seized the wee sister by the hand. "Hello, youngsters," said McDonald, stopping to pat the baby's curls. "Hello," said the boy. "Does Mrs. Burt let you play here?" he questioned, for the lad seemed anxious to be gone. "Yes, sir, but I must go now," was the answer, and they hurried away. The next day he saw the same children as he was coming through the little park on his way home. He sat down on a bench beside them, and put forth all his arts of entertainment to interest them. The boy was a many little fellow of six, who took care of the three-year-old baby in a responsible manner. When the children started home he walked with them. When he turned in the garden gate the boy led the little one on, but she hung back, saying positively: "liss is where I live." She was sobbing dolefully when the brother finally persuaded her to go on. McDonald was puzzled. He sat down on a garden seat to think it out. He had not asked the children their names or where they lived. Undoubtedly they knew Mrs. Burt, perhaps were related, and in the habit of coming often. But why, then, had he not seen them in the six weeks he had been there? He suddenly remembered his abrupt question on the day he had taken the rooms. Could it be that she thought he hated all children? His reflections were interrupted by a whisper behind him. Looking around, he saw the two children coming down the walk. When they saw him the little lad stopped and looked as if he were about to run away. McDonald arose and, taking a child in each hand, led them to the door. Mrs. Burt met them at the door. She was very pale and her hands were trembling, but she held up her head and looked straight in his eyes. "Who are these children?" "Good heavens! Where have they been all this time?" "They've stayed upstairs when you were in the house. Oh! I know what you must think of me for deceiving you this way. And I haven't had a peaceful moment since I did it. But I knew when you asked me that you wouldn't take the room if there were children here. Taxes were due, and I needed the money so badly. I knew you would pay, and I couldn't bear to see you go. You see the children are very quiet. Their father—wasn't very fond of children, either, and they had to learn to be quiet and not bother him." McDonald recalled something he had heard about a brutal husband and father, and stood aghast to think he had been put in the same class. Mrs. Burt was awaiting his verdict, and the children were looking on with scared faces. Without a word he led the two little ones into his room. The mother waiting outside heard loud shouts of glee. In about half an hour the children burst into the kitchen, still laughing merrily. "Oh, mammal!" shouted the boy, "the man gave me a quarter, and told me to go up to the store and buy ice cream for baby and me." When they were gone McDonald came out where Mrs. Burt was still waiting. "They never made such a noise before." she said. "No? Well, then it's time they learned how. Think of those little things cooped up for six weeks and never daring to cheep when I was in the house. It makes me feel like an assassin. I told them to yell as loud as they could." "Oh-hi!" said Mrs. Burt, and then for some reason she dropped her eyes and blushed. Then Mr. McDonald, who had been in some doubt before, smiled with great satisfaction. "Yes," he said, "just that. I'm sure I'm needed to help bring up those children. And you need someone to take care of you, and I want some one to take care of. Can you trust me so much, little woman?" "I don't deserve anything so lovely, when I have been so wicked," she whispered, but she was not permitted to finish that speech. (Copyright, by Dally Story Pub. Co.) Man in the Case. Probably baby.

Nearly fifteen hundred squalling fans and fanesses were out last Sunday to cheer the A. B. C. on in their victory over the Miller Giants who, in a previous engagement at the local garden, had handed the favorites a sound drubbing. Bartlet pitched good ball, although the Terre Hautes got to him for nine safe smashes, one being a homer over the left field fence. Brilliant fielding was at his back throughout the outfield and many a baller which looked good for extra bases fell in the waiting mitch Bighee showed his prowess with the war club and has demonstrated to the skeptical faux that he is by no means "all in." There was nothing doing for the visitors until the seventh and eighth. Beddow was safe on four wide ones in the opening of the seventh frame and Schmitz, who followed him, stepped into one of Bartlett's slants and slammed the pill through the leftfield fence for four sacks. It was an awful clout, but only seemed to cause Bartlett to prick his ears and tighten up. In the next inning Haverty, of the Terre Hautes, repeated the swat of his teammate by also leaving the ten of the leftfield fence between the THE HIGH SCHOOL BY FRANK A. C.

The score was: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z 2-base hits—Taylor (3). Struck out—By Johnson, 7; by McClelland, 3.

The American Giants whitewashed the Smart Set team again Monday, hanging up another no-hit, no-run game record at the expense of the New Yorkers, the score being 8 to 1 in favor of "Rubu" Foster's men.伙 Dougherty proved the hero of the second and hollow victory, but his record was not as clean as Johnson's on Sunday, as two of the wallops made of him might have gone as hits. Taylor let Dunbar's sharp grounder go through his feet, while Lindsay dropped Smith's fly after a long run in center field. The Smart Sets had won twenty-one straight up to their appearance here.

Woodies the Scene of Merriment Monday Night. The members of the Magdala Bible Class of Quinn Chapel, with Mr. Polard, teacher, were entertained at the residence of Mrs. James W. Woodlee, 3561 Rhode avenue, Monday evening, June 2. Miss Mabel Fleming was hostess. She was assisted by her sister, Miss Ola. After the business of the class was disposed of a beautiful program was rendered. Mr. Leon Foster played a clarinet solo with piano accompaniment by Miss Lina Smith. Vocal scores were sung by Mr. Charles Setties and Mr. Melville Jones. Readings by Mr. Frank Laurie, Miss Roberta Polard and Miss Doreaetha Levee. The class colors of green and yellow were the house decorations. After refreshments the class voted their thanks to Miss Fleming for her cordiality as hostess and to Mrs. Woodlee for the privileges of an evening's enjoyment in her beautiful home. Mrs. Polard was the guest of the evening. This was the first meeting she has attended and expressed herself as being highly elated with what she saw and heard. C. A. SUBDUING OF BERTIE By R. E. HALLOCK. "Your ring, Mr. Snowden. Permit me," and the small circle of gold was tendered across the short space that intervened. "Thank you." The canoe floated leisurely on the water, placid, serene and unruffled. That in a moment of carelessness I had spoken too harshly I did not doubt. Beyond, memory failed to carry me. Bertle had proffered me our engagement ring, a gift of long standing, and indicative of undeserved happiness for me. I was pliqued. "Thank you," I repeated. "It is entirely unnecessary." "But my dear Bertle—" "Miss Van Voorst, with the endearing adjective stricken out," she amended. Really, it's a useless waste of time to continue the conversation further, and, moreover, I have an engagement for this evening. Will you hurry, please? Half of our homeward course had been completed and in continued silence I guided the canoe along the rock-faced edge of Umbrella island. Rrrr-ip!!! R-!m!! A few shrill screams, wholly feminine, some hysterical laughter, a ducking or two, a stray scratch, considerable scrambling, and a pair of very bedraggled people sat on the bank and viewed the effect of the catastrophe. The cause was a rock; the result was ludicrous. The how of the canoe showed a ragged gash through which the water was eagerly rushing. Any hope of repairing it was out of the question. I turned to my companion. "Hertie—dear?" The corners of her mouth fell still further. "Don't it funny?" "Wretch!" was all that she finally vouchsafed me. And then, maledictions on the perverseness of woman-kind, she burst into tears. I reached out and took her hand. "Think of our predicament. Bertle. Here we are stranded on the island, with no hope of rescue until morning at least. Night is already upon us. The moon is on its first quarter, and that means that it will be almost total darkness in a few hours. Darkness and no sound to enliven the terrible face. We must spend the whole night here on this dismal, dreary island." With a little shudder she drew closely to me. It was the opportunity I had desired. No rebuke met me as I slipped my arm around her. In silence I slid the ring back on her finger. She looked up half quizzically and then resisted her head on my shoulder. Content once more in mind, I would have let it remain indefinitely, but a slight breeze penetrating my clothes aroused me. Glancing down, I assured myself that the ring was indeed on her hand again. Then I kissed her and assisted her to rise. "Come, Bertie. We must walk." Without questioning she followed. Pickling our way as best we could through the heavy underbrush, we headed toward the opposite side of the island. Occasionally she would trip, and with a happy little laugh reach out for my assistance. It was eagerly given, and in the thrill that coursed through me at the touch I recognized the return of the former harmony. Once on the other side I turned unhesitatingly and led the way to a small cove. At that point there was a dearth of foliage, and clearly defined In the moonlight there lay lazily at rest a rowboat, pars lying peacefully in the oarlocks. "Bobby, you wretch! You knew this all the time." She stamped her little foot in mock indignation. "Bobby," she continued, in a very reproachful way that she assumed at times, "you deliberately told a falsehood. No rescue, indeed! And poor me shivering with the thought of trying to keep warm through a long, weary night. You are doubly a wretch! "Yes," I assented, for there was a twinkle in her eye which belied the severity in her tone. We were slowly nearing the shore. I rested on my oars and looked at Bertle. "Bobby?" The undercurrent of mischief in her voice caused me to take notice. "Yes?" I said, questioningly. "When did you learn that this boat was in the cove back there?" "Early this afternoon." "Did you notice the name on the stern?" "No." "I thought not. It's papa's boat; we left it there this morning, when we went over in the launch." (Copyright, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) Dr. Johnson's Rebuke Dr. Johnson was once in company with a gentleman who affected to maintain Dean Berkeley's strange position "that nothing exists but as perceived by some mind." When the gentleman was going away Dr. Johnson said to him: "Pray, sir, don't leave us; for we may, perhaps, forget to think of you and then you will cease to exist."

The St. Mark's Lyceum, under the regime of its new president, Mr. John Welch, has taken on new life, and is treating the public to some very interesting and excellent programs. The Lyceum was fortunate in its selection of Mrs. O. E. Vanderburg as chairman of the program committee. She is always on the quivive in the preparation of her programs. The choir is a credit to the organization; it rendered some thrilling numbers. Mr. Frank Raines rendered a baritone solo which was very commendable and with a little cultivation of his voice he will have a valuable asset. Mr. R. A. Crosby read a practical paper, subject: "Has a Young Man a Chance?" Mrs. G. D. Anderson rendered an enchanting solo and was roundly applauded for an encore. The climax of the evening came with the introduction of the principal speaker, Mr. Duncan P. Webster. He was introduced by ex-President H. D. Smith, as a practical man, a man of facts, and in no wise did his introduction prove disappointing. Mr. Webster's subject was, "Social Efficiency," and he plunged into it with that masterly art that is so natural to a well trained, seasoned speaker. His subject was deep, philosophical and illuminating. His frequent apt illustrations were in evidence throughout the discourse. Y.M.C.A. GEE! IF MY PEOPLE COULD ONLY BUY THIS.

The subject of "Social Efficiency," as portrayed by Mr. Webster, is of vital interest to the race. The speaker struck the keynote when he said: "Whether it is commonly recognized or not, we seem to have reached a time in which a definite stage in the forward progress of the race is drawing to a close and we are entering on a new era. "With us the changing order is no mere poetic metaphor, but it is a tangible, visible fact." After speaking of the progress of the race in the past fifty years, and the old order of our social life, the speaker says of that class of Negro: "He has played his part, has made his contribution to the social fund of his group, and where he yet lingers upon the stage 'he lags superfluous among new men, strange faces, other minds.'" received by the club.

Sue queen, and her husband "When we scrutinize the progress made by the race under the guidance of the old order, we will observe that it has been an advance which has been made in the main by the exceptional individuals of the race. If I were to characterize the period which I have asserted is coming to a close I would call it the period of personal or individual efficiency. "Satisfying and splendid as have been the achievements of these superior individuals—and truly there were giants in those days—perhaps the most solid and permanent benefit which the new order inherits from the old is the demonstration of the capacity and ability of the race, with opportunity, to make progress in all fields of human endeavor. "The new era upon which we are entering is one in which the dominant note will be the promotion of a social efficiency as distinguished from a mere personal efficiency." HAZEL HURST CLUB. The Hazel Hurst Club met June 5 at 8:30 p. m., at the new Northwestern cafe, 4546 State street, for consultation, deliberation and advice as to their constitution and bylaws, and the selection of good, clean men for their club which is already becoming famous and is on its enhancement.

HIGH IDEALS The Measures of Our Possibilities. THE DESTINY-MAKING FORCES OF CHARACTER. Wife the Mainspring in the Home—The Central Sun Whence Radiates the Controlling Influence for Weal or for Woe. SERMON OF DR. JEFFERSON. "A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband. Her price is far above rubies. All other goods by fortune's hand are given—a wife is the peculiar gift of heaven. "Since ideals are the measures of possibilities, since our ideals are the moulds to our lives and the destiny-making forces of our characters, then how important is it that we have proper ideals, that we have the highest ideals in the making of our homes. "As the wife is the mainspring in the home, the central sun from whence radiates the controlling influence for weal or for woe, then how infinitely essential is it that she be a model wife, that she be an ideal wife in the home! "Bear and forbear is the golden chain that can move mountains. "Love covers a multitude of sins"; 'She openeth her mouth in wisdom, in her tongue is the law of kindness. "Therefore a true, ideal wife within the home rules with quiet might, by virtue of her perfect womanhood; a child in years, but with all grace and good enshrined in her truth-flashing orbs of light. A woman strong and firm to do the right, who with old-time martyrs might have stood, yet full of sympathy with every mood. In times of trouble cheery still and bright, O que of maidens: it must surely be. If aught: that to perfection cometh near can ever be found in this imperfect life, you, perfect daughter, will but disappear, to shine as perfect mother, perfect wife. "Again, the ideal wife is careful about her personale and the affairs of her household. Housekeeping is an art, therefore a good housekeeper must be an artist. An artist is one who takes the ordinary colors of paints and by skillfully mixing and careful application transforms the ordinary piece of canvas into a beautiful picture. Likewise the ideal wife, by skillful planning and careful work, transforms the barren walls into beauty and neatness, harmony and sweetness. "The ideal wife looketh well to her own appearance also; the woman who forgets how she primed and groomed herself when she was a sweetheart and sinks down to a slovenly married woman, now that she has won her husband, will have a sad awakening." "Think not that, a husband gained, that all is done; The prize of happiness must still be won. And off the careless find to their cost. The lover in the husband may be lost." "The model wife makes herself and her home attractive, and tries to keep informed about the business of her husband, reads and studies, that she may be also an intellectual companion of her husband. Such a wife is a queen, and her husband feels rich in having such a jewel. "What is there in the vale of life Half so delightful as a wife; When friendship, love and peace combine To stamp the marriage bond divine?" Corruption. Men are not corrupted by the exercise of power or debased by the habit of obedience; but by the exercise of a power which they believe to be illegitimate and by obedience to a rule which they consider to be usurped and oppressive. Only Perfect Baby The idea of picking out the perfect baby by means of a tape measure is all tommyrot. Might as well try to locate virtue by using a divining rod. Every baby is perfect.

Rest is the only thing that lets us catch up with ourselves. So Comforting: Hub—"The doctor says if I keep working at this pace after money, I shall be a wreck at forty-five." Wife—"Never mind, dear.

Services Sunday, 11 a. m.—8 p. m.; Sunday school, 9:30 a. m. In order to worship with the members of Ebenezer A. M. E. church Sunday, our afternoon service was dispensed with. It was quarterly meeting day at that church, and we heard two masterly preached sermons by Rev. Jackson, the stirring gospel preacher of the St. Paul district. Our visit in the afternoon was especially pleasant. The elder was at his best and his sermon was both spiritual and instructive. At night we returned home and heard our new pastor, Rev. W. Y. Bell, of Garrett Biblical Institute, who preached from Matt. 16:18, "Upon this rock I build my church," etc. For twenty minutes the "youthful" but scholarly "minister" held his audience with rapt attention. At the close one joined the church, Mrs. Anna Zeigler, formerly of St. Paul A. M. E. church, Chicago. Rev. Bell comes to us well trimmed for the work, with only two more years in Garrett to finish and having already received his "A. B." degree from Lane College, Jackson, Tenn. Being also highly endorsed by Bishop I. Lane, as the ripest fruit of the S. E. Mo. and Ill. conference, the church feels highly honored in securing him and is looking forward to higher things. We especially invite your attention to the change in our hours of service as stated above. It is the request of the pastor that these hours be kept in strict observance: Our quarterly meeting will be the fourth Sunday, June 22. Rev. T. L. Scott will preach the sacramental sermon. GLENCOE.

Let each member shoulder the burden. The Sewing Circle met at the home of Mrs. Sarah Crump. Mrs. Birdie Smith, the president, is filling the club up with new members. The church aid met at the parsonage, entertained by Mrs. Page-Hadley-Johnson, Miss Nealy and Frost. The normal class under Professor Gossette is very interesting. HER LAST LONG SIGH By GRACE G. BOSTWICK. "It isn't as though she had cared." Atherton said, in a tired voice, turning, the letters and telegrams over listlessly. "It isn't as though she had cared," he repeated, dully, opening and closing the small drawers, one by one. He was searching for a photograph that she had kept on her desk—a likeness taken in her early girlhood, long before he had met her. As he felt clumsily about among the papers a letter fell out. He started to replace it, but caught sight of his own name in the familiar writing and paused. He opened it with trembling fingers. "I did the best I could," he said, slowly to himself. "I couldn't help not caring. I thought I could—at first. I thought it would come with time. God! how hard it has been, how bitter hard!" He passed his thin, nervous hand wearily across his colorless face. "At least, 'she never knew, never suspected, nor cared, either way,' he said, bitterly. 'She was as indifferent as—as I was.'" "I wonder if she knows now," he breathed. "I wonder if she knows—and understands. She never seemed to understand anything. I used to wonder how anyone could feel so little and live. I tried once to tell her how I felt and she laughed. Said I needed something to tone me up. Perhaps she was right. Perhaps I am a morbid chap. Foor Helen!" he sighed as he pored over the letter in the falling light. He sat up, startled. "Dear," he read, "I couldn't hope ever to make you understand how I love you. You have just left me—cold, unloving, careless, as you always are—and I (poor foolish, loving thing) put my starved arms about your chair, and laid my lips passionately against the spot where your dear head has laid. Dearest, no man was ever loved more deeply, more tenderly, than you are. O, the sadness, the heartbreak of it all! "I want you to know if you are left—and you will be—that I have always cared. Dear, I know it is with you. I know that the bonds have become so irksome that they have worn into your very soul. If you had cared, John, we should have been very happy. I love your work, your interests, but I have not dared voice it for fear—O that look! that cruelly indifferent, hard, careless look! It burns into me as I write and I writhe under the torture of it." He sat with his head on his arms for hours. Once he cried out in agony: "My God, if I had known! If I had known!" At last he climbed the heavy, dark stairway to the room above to face his dead. He turned back the white coverlid with hands strangely steady after his long vigil. Her face was oddly girlish as it was in the little photo. He felt a vast tenderness swelling up within him as he looked. "If I could tell her just once and see her smile as she used to smile before!" He buried his face in the clothes at her side at the recollection. He remembered suddenly that she had been possessed of a horror of burial with life still existant. He started and looked again, plerically, into her still face. It was not marble-like as the faces he had seen in death. A sudden hope clutched at his heart. "Helen," he cried, "come back! You are mine, child; I have always loved you—always. I didn't know. O child, open your eyes to me!" His face went gray with the effort of his life. He was straining, striving against death, the conqueror himself. He prayed by all he held sacred. By his mother's memory. By his belief in love, by the prayers of the long-gone dead, and holding her two cold hands in his own, he chafed and warmed them unwearedly, repeatedly, calling to her, pleading with her, begging her to come back. The passionate warmth of his appeal softened the cold stillness of her fingers. They seemed to him to be growing pliant, human. "Helen," he called for the last time, "Helen child, it is—I open your eyes to me!" It was the impassioned appeal of soul to soul. Then slowly, wearly, unwillingly, as of some child waking from a sleep of deep exhaustion, the cold, white lids lifted and the familiar eyes looked into his own, though faintly as from a long distance. The shadow of a smile parted the gray lips—the lips of death. "You are going to live!" he cried, loudly. "You are going to live-for me." He felt her cold, cold face against his own hot cheek. He heard her sigh—a long sigh of rapture that was almost a sob—then blackness. In the little study below the stickroom—the room of resurrection—a few hours later Atherton again fumbled about his wife's desk for the little photo. Again his awkward hands tumbled the contents of the drawers in reckless confusion, but at last they closed on the treasured picture. Tears of joy, the great tears that rise out of the deepest feeling of a strong man's heart, fell thickly, unrestrainedly, on the child-like face of the woman who had been his wife for four long, miserable years.
