You must not only make these plain facts clear to your readers, but must state also that from all over Illinois and Chicago came to Springfield, Ill., very many of our colored men and women to help the passage of "The Thomas W. Swan's Exposition Bill," which carried an appropriation of $25,000, and the governor is to appoint a general managing commission. But the best of all is this, our white friends in the Legislature, without regard to political parties, voted in the House unanimously in favor of the bill. And thanks to a good and just God that the people of the state of Lincoln have in the executive chair a man as their governor, Edward F. Dunne, who knows no race or color, but who is for plain, and common justice for all alike, and who is known among the common people as foremost among the humanitarians of our land, and is ready to sign and make this bill a law just as soon as it may reach him as it comes from the Senate. To those of our citizens who do not know Senator Allain, a citizen of Chicago, we give the following letter, a copy of which was sent to Hon. Wm. L. O'Connell during the past week: The Letter of State. House of Representatives, Washington, D. C., June 9, 1913. Hon. William L. O'Connell. Chicago, Ill. I. Delegated a letter from T. T.

Alain, Sr. Springfield, Ill., June 20.—it has come to me that there are ten or twelve men in Chicago who claim that had it not been for their work and plans the "Thomas W. Swan's" Exposition Bill, which passed the Illinois House by a unanimous vote and is now before the State Senate, would have been dead. Well, now, to the point, and you would much oblige me if you would give to the readers of your valuable paper a few plain facts, Mr. Swan. Mr. Swan had me here at Springfield, Ill., on the grounds, to go and see to it that his views and orders were carried out to the letter, and to note down what was said and done. All canvassers who were sent out into the Counties of Illinois to get the good opinion of leading men and women of the race in support of that "Thomas W. Swan's Exposition Bill" got their orders from Mr. Swan, and their expenses were paid by him. The best and leading colored men and women of Springfield, Ill., all worked before Mr. Shanahan's committee, and elsewhere, directly under the direction and command of Mr. Swan. From Springfield to Chicago, Mr. Swan sent men, letters and very many telegrams, and used long distance telephone to bring to Springfield big preachers and little preachers, big lawyers and little lawyers, big doctors and little doctors, big politicians and little politicians, who could not, and did not, help the cause, but they were on hand at the tap of the bell to eat and drink everything in sight or within reach. But, Mr. Editor, what I would like to make plain to all who may read your paper, and who may be interested in this subject matter, is this: When Messrs. Wm. L. Clark, J. Taylor, Dr. Anderson of Chicago, and T. W. Scott of Springfield, Ill., who the leaders against "The Thomas W. Swan Exposition Bill," withdrew their Mr. Clarke was chairman of the subcommittee to whom was referred the Full Crew measure and it is said he got lost after coming into possession of the bill. His stand in the interest of the colored people is fully appreciated by the race and the voters of the First ward and that part of the Second ward lying north of 23rd street are indeed fortunate in having as their representative a man who rings true on the race question and who had the courage to assume the attitude that The Chicago Defender.

Mr. Clarke is deserving and should be returned to the next general assembly. He will not be forgotten by the colored people and they await only the day to show their gratitude and appreciation of the services of this very excellent gentleman and eminent citizen. CHICAGO, DLL., SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1913. NEW BUILDING FOR THE LINCOLN STATE BANK OF CHICAGO LINCOLN STATE BANK OF CHICAGO The plans for the new home of the Lincoln State Bank of Chicago, now in the process of erection at State and Thirty-first streets, provide for an extremely attractive building, the estimated cost of which will be in the neighborhood of $50,000. The building will have a Bedford stone front, and occupy the entire width of the lot, $37\frac{1}{2}$ feet. The banking floor will be three feet above grade, with a mezzanine floor over the entrance which will be used as a director's room. There will be six tellers' cages, and a private department for women with rest room and other accommodations. The safety deposit vaults will accommodate 2,000 boxes. This ground was purchased by the bank six months ago, and is steadily increasing in value. This institution is under state government supervision and United States depository for Postal Savings Funds. This in itself makes our patrons feel that they are just as much protected as if their monies were down town. THE HOME BANK HAS MONEY TO PAY CREDITORS W. T. Mason, the Evanston Cafe Owner, Who Drew Color Line On His Own Race After They Brought Him Out of a Shack to a Two-Story Palace, Wrecks the Masonry He Himself Put in Motion by Trying to Get Back a Note of $1,000 He Subscribed for the Promotion of the Home Security Savings Bank. Messrs. Anthony Overton, Frank Gale, Champ H. Green, Have All Expressed Explicit Confidence in Mr. Neighbors and Felt That if Mason and Milner Had Not Asked for a Receiver and Given Them Time to Organize Every Detail of the Business Would Have Been Perfected—The Full Story in Detail as Related to Defender Reporters in an Interview That Lasted Two Hours. The Home Security Savings Bank, the institution for which Edmund C. Day was appointed Receiver on June 17th, 1913, was a continuation of the South Side Branch of the American Banking Association. Unsatisfactory business dealings made it necessary for the colored persons interested in the American Banking Association to withdraw from that Association and, in order to protect the interests of the colored subscribers and depositors, Wm. D. Neighbors undertook to reorganize the South Side Branch with colored men exclusively. After considerable deliberation the following gentlemen, on April 19th, entered into a contractual relation known as the Home Security Savings Bank, with a capital of $50,000: W. T. Mason, Robert T. Milner, Frank L. Gale, Champ H. Green, Anthony Overton, and Wm. D. Neighbors. These gentlemen were made the Trustees of the Bank and the following were selected as officers: President, Anthony Overton; 1st Vice President, Frank L. Gale; 2nd Vice President, W. T. Mason; 3rd Vice President, Champ H. Green; Secretary and Cashier, Wm. D. Neighbors. he was a member of the co-partnership known as the Home Security Savings Bank, which letter he took to his attorney, who advised him that he would be responsible for all the debts and obligations of the bank. It was the intention of the organizers to limit the liabilities of the subscribers to the amount of stock subscribed by them. Mr. Mason suggested that the organization be dis solved, which was agreed to by those present, and it was further suggested that a meeting be called in the near future to reorganize in some other form. The members expressed themselves as being of the opinion that the agreement they had entered into did limit their liabilities, but that in order to avoid injuring their credit standing with the commercial agencies they thought it best to change the form of the organization and so advised the agencies. Nothing was said as to how or when the affairs of the then existing organization should be wound up. On the 11th of June Mr. Mason, through his attorney, demanded of Wm. D. Neighbors, the cashier of the bank, the return of his notes which had been given in pay. The certificate of the association was recorded and the institution began business immediately after its organization. Leasehold, furniture and fixtures contributed by Wm. D. Neighbors, $1,000 each contributed by the other parties subscribing for that amount of stock and agreeing to pay as follows: $100 at the time of subscribing and $100 per month for nine consecutive months thereafter until the sum of $1,000 for each subscription had been paid. On or about June 10th, a special meeting was called at the solicitation of Mr. W. T. Mason, at which meeting he informed the trustees present that he had received a letter from R. G. Dun & Co., inquiring as to whether he was a member of the co-partnership known as the Home Security Savings Bank, which letter he took to his attorney, who advised him that he would be responsible for all the debts and obligations of the bank. It was the intention of the organizers to limit the liabilities of the subscribers to the amount of stock subscribed by them. Mr. Mason suggested that the organization be dissolved, which was agreed to by those present, and it was further suggested that a meeting be called in the near future to reorganize in some other form. The members expressed themselves as being of the opinion that the agreement they had entered into did limit their liabilities, but that in order to avoid injuring their credit standing with the commercial agencies they thought it best to change the form of the organization and so advised the agencies. Nothing was said as to how or when the affairs of the then existing organization should be wound up. On the 11th of June, Mr. Mason, through his attorney, demanded of Wm. D. Neighbors, the cashier of the bank, the return of his notes which had been given in payment for the stock subscribed for by him. Mr. Neighbors refused to return the notes, stating that they were the property of the Association, and that he had no power to return them, unless directed to do so by all the persons interested in the organization. Whereupon the attorney became abusive and threatened to have a receiver appointed if the notes were not delivered to him at once. Mr. Neighbors still refused and on June 17th, 1913, application was made for a receiver, who was appointed. Since the appointment of the receiver many statements have been made through the daily press reputed to have come from the receiver and other persons who have done business (Continued on Page 7.) WELL KNOWN PHYSICIAN ON BOARD OF EDUCATION Dr. Childs Succeeds Attorney R. R. Horner as Member of Washington, D. C., School Board—Ardent Worker for Success of the Race. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Washington, D. C., June 20—The appointment of Dr. Greed W. Childs as a member of the Board of Education for the District of Columbia gives general satisfaction to the race. He succeeds Lawyer R. R. Horner, and the term is for three years, beginning July 1. Dr. Childs is a native of Alabama, but has long been a resident of Washington and has been actively identified with every movement looking to the educational, religious, commercial and social and civic up-lift of the people of this community. He has served capably in many positions of public trust, and perhaps no man in the nation's capital is more widely known, and certainly none is more highly respected or better loved by all classes. He has been physician to the poor of the district; sanitary and food inspector of the Health Department, and medical inspector of the contagious disease department. In Dr. Childs the public school system of the district has an ardent friend. He fully understands the needs of the system and knows just how to go about the work of remedying whatever evils may have crept into it and to extend its benefits and enlarges its power for the good of the community. Dr. Childs is a substantial citizen, having acquired a generous space in the tax ledger of the district, owning among other things a beautiful home and a high-power automobile. WHERE IS FRANK CHILDS? A Chicago Defender reporter while on a West Side assignment this week met Rocco Parrillo, former manager and trainer of Frank Childs, one-time heavyweight champion. He still thinks Childs "the peer of them all" and is anxious to communicate with him. Anyone having any information call or write Mr. Parrillo, 833 West Polk street. NEW ORLEANS CITIZENS TO ORGANIZE.

The formal exercises were held in the gymnasium, beginning at 3 o'clock, but long before that hour the South Side streets were thronged with people anxious to see the parade, which was a part of the ceremonies. Led by the gallant Eighth Regiment, I. N. G., with Col. John R. Marshall in command, they traversed a long route thronged by thousands, and many houses were elaborately decorated. At the Y. M. C. A. building the exercises began promptly. Mr. W. P. Sidley, president of the Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago, presided. Mr. Sidley read a list of the givers of some of the large donations which have made the building a possibility. Among them were N. W. Harris, $25,000; Julius Rosenwald, $25,000; Cyrus H. McCormick, $25,000; the Pullman Company, $10,000; Mrs. G. F. Swift, $5,000, and the people of the race $20,000. The program was as follows, directed by P. T. Tinsley: The audience sang "Onward Christian Soldiers." Then came responsive Scripture reading, led by Rev. E. T. Martin, pastor Bethesda Baptist Church, Rev. D. P. Roberts, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, then made an impressive prayer. The Umbrian Glee Club followed in an appropriate selection. Following came the address of Mr. Wm. P. Sidley, president of the Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago. Dr. George C. Hall, chairman of the Wabash avenue department, was the next speaker. Dr. Hall said: "About two years ago, unexpected to myself and the other members of this committee, the request came from your wife, the act as a provisional committee to disburse a campaign of collection and disbursement of this building in connection with the erection of this building." Believing it now as then that the best way to accomplish this place upon the will of God is to do his work accepted the call and entered upon the Providence that he confidently, expecting to assist our infirmities and supplement our deficiencies; so now we enter upon our trust spirit, as is fully convinced of our deficiencies for the old; and we look to the helper for increased wisdom and strength to help us the old; but we look to the us if we humbly trust Him. our job are here.

The Negro will be an altar where all can kneel--adoring the invisible Father whom they have not seen because they have become reco- nced to the brother whom they have seen. "Here policy gives way to principle, and the Negro is the men; the altar rather than for the Negro; the preaching that ends with the exhortation; the men; the men; the men; the men; the doing that ends with a checks tee; and a secretary--all agencies that are in helpers from the ones in need and helped.

"Behold, I know thy work—an open door I set before you and no man can close." Need I tell you that the Y. M. C.

For many minutes he could not speak. When he could be heard he said: "I am intensely gratified at the response that has been made to my offer to the nation. It has its building, and the Indianapolis building is nearly completed. Cincinnati is the successful campain, during which the amount subserved nearly twice the amount apportioned to them.

POLICEMAN KILLS CHESTER ROBINSON Young Man Loses Life in an Alley Brawl—Officer Exonerated. Following a row in the alley in the rear of 3758 State st., Monday morning, Mr. Chester Robinson, 2947 Wentworth ave., is dead, the victim of a policeman's bullet. Patrolman Fred. E. Woolster of the Stanton ave. police station, fired the shot. According to information gathered by a Chicago Defender reporter, the officer attempted to arrest Robinson, who fought him vigorously. He wrested the club from the policeman and used it with telling effect. Finding himself almost worsted the officer appealed to some bystanders for assistance. None responded and in the break-away he shot Robinson. At the inquest later he was exonerated. The Chicago Defender deplores the fact that some one in the crowd did not go to the officer's assistance and prevent this loss of life. The race in Chicago tries to live within the law, and there should never be no fear on the part of any upright citizen to go to the assistance of an officer of the law. Later it was learned that Rev. A. J. C. Carey was circulating a petition to have the officer re-arrested, and collecting funds to prosecute the case, claiming that the shooting was deliberate. A DAISY WEDDING Nuptial of Miss Minnie Calloway and Mr. P. W. Chambers the Social Event of the Week. The social event of the week was the marriage, Wednesday night, of Miss Minnie Calloway, a popular society woman of this city, and prominent as a member of Grace Presbyterian Sunday School and Mr. P. W. Chambers, president of the Lincoln Industrial Training School of Columbus, Ohio. Rev. Braddon was the officiating clergyman. The event took place at the famous "Carter Villa," which was beautifully decorated for the occasion. It was a Daisy wedding. Daisies were everywhere. Miss Madeline Pannell attended the bride, while Dr. Harry W. Garnes was best man. Mr. W. J. Kelly was master of ceremonies, while Prof. Garfield Wilson and Mr. William Henry Browne, Jr., furnished the music. : The service in the dining room was excellent, Mme. Carter's original ideas in table decorations winning the admiration of the entire assemblage. DR. SCHULTZ-KNIGHTEN PRAISES MRS. SMITH. Mme. Leora Smith, the hair specialist, is very proud of the following letter from Dr. A. B. Schultz-Knighten: To Whom It May Concern: I can highly recommend Mme. Leora Smith, 5209 Wabash ave., after having taken the scalp treatments and facial massage with excellent results. My hair was falling out and had started to turn gray, but after the second treatment the results could be seen very plainly. After a thorough trial of many other face creams I find hers unexcelled by any other. It is said that Mme. Smith has signed a contract to make hair grow on the bald spot that adorns the head of Hon. Dave Knighten. The man with a poor memory should stick to the truth. The dude who looks so sanitary now has a new phone and is 12 L. are, who are our loving as vip. E. J. and D.

PLEASURE AT CABARET The Cabaret at the Pomp1 Tuesday afforded pleasure to a capacity house. Prof. D. B. Peyton's orchestra outdid itself in a program of exceptional merit. The feature of the afternoon was a singing contest, in which Andrew Tribble, Matt Marshall, Shelton Brooks, Messrs. Lylis and Miller took part. Joe Jordan was to have been another contestant, but he failed to appear, and the prize was easily won by Mr. Tribble, who sang "Darling I Am Growing Old." BUSINESS LEAGUE TO HOLD 14 ANNUAL SESSION Elaborate Preparations Being Made by the National Business Men's League for Meeting in August. The fourteenth annual meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held in Philadelphia Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 20, 21 and 22, 1913. The local Negro business league of Philadelphia has secured the City Council of that city an appropriation of $5,000 for the entertainment of the delegates and the appropriation has been signed by Mayor Rudolph Blankenburg. The daily sessions of the league will be held at Musket Field, 808 Locust street; the first night's session will be held at the Academy of Music, Broad and Locust streets, at which time Mayor Blankenburg will speak and President Booker T. Washington will deliver his annual address. Reduced Rates. Each year reduced rates are offered from every section of the country to New York, Philadelphia, Atlantic City and other eastern points. This year the national meeting of the colored Elks of the country will take place the week before the business league meeting and the meeting of the colored Pythian organization will be held in Baltimore the week following the business league meeting. Under the circumstances, very low rates will be offered so that delegates who wish to attend any two, or all three, of these meetings, may do so without undue outlay. Pleasure in Special Parties. Local leagues and state organizations are urged even thus early to take up with the proper authorities the matter of railroad accommodations. Experience has shown that arrangements can be made for special Pullman and Tourist car parties at very little additional expense, but at considerable addition in the way of comfort and pleasure, especially when congenial parties are organized. For information as to details, plans of the coming meeting, etc., may be secured from: Booker T. Washington, president; J. C. Napier, chairman of the committee from Emmett J.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER TOUCH SYSTEM IS SUCCESS Private Known as "Lucky Bill" Tells Comrade How to Secure a Pension From the Government. Private William McDermott, better known to his comrades at "Lucky Bill," was being examined by the regular army surgeon in order to have his claim for a pension verified. In his right hand he carried a heavy stick which he used as a support. Each step was accompanied with a conspicuous limp, while his face was contorted almost beyond recognition, as with pain. "What's the matter with your leg?" asked the surgeon. "Shot, just below the knee," returned "Lucky Bill." The surgeon examined the injured limb, winked at his assistant, and turned again to the applicant. "Why, man, there's nothing wrong with your leg," he said. "Your wound is almost entirely healed, and while it may cause you to limp a little it will never hinder you from making a living." "Oh, yes, it will," argued Bill. "But how?" asked the surgeon. Bill hesitated a moment. Then his face brightened. "I'm a song-and-dance artist," he said; "maybe you can tell how I'm going to dance with a stiff leg?" Bill got his pension. When he returned to camp a friend asked him how he made out. "First rate," answered Bill; "why don't you go over?" "I would if I had been injured," answered his friend. "You lost the tip of your index fuger, didn't you?" said Bill. "Just tell them you are a typewriter and use the touch system." Library Etiquette In Kansas Don't throw down the quarter or dime as if your real intention was to make holes in the delivery desk, says the Kansas Industrialist. The fine charged on your overdue book is only a reward for your own carelessness, and, contrary to the ideas of some persons, is neither a peace offering to the librarian nor a contribution to her pln money box. If you must chew gum, seek the privacy of your own room. Do not approach the delivery desk during the opening. Many a librarian has been called a "grievance because she did not hasten to serve a careless person who accosted her" thus (between chews); "Say, I wish you'd get me sump肌n on George Ellor, or, if there isn't anything about him, Dickens 'l'da." Any librarian is delighted to help every borrower to get the most good from the library, but, like the gods, she pleases to help those who help themselves by being courteous. Not Easily Perturbed. "The American girl," said Mayor Almsle, at a bachelor dinner in Richmond, "is noted for her beauty and intelligence, and she is also noted for her adroitness. Circumstance can never confound her. "A typical American girl, young and beautiful, sat with her clear eyes fixed ardently on the orbs of a young man who, seated at her side, poured forth his soul in a declaration of love. "Suddenly the girl's brow darkened. A look of pain overspread her face. With a queenly gesture she silenced the love-striken youth. "Walt, wait!" she cried. "The next moment the sneeze came, and at once the ardent and tender glow stole back into her eyes, and, laying her hand on the young man's sleeve, she murmured: "As you were saying, Alfred?" Pickets Saved Child's Life. Falling three stories to be unhurt, a two-year-old child named Phillips had a notable escape from death at Weehawken, N.J., the other day. The child had been left alone for a few moments in a room of his parents' house, when he climbed on a chair in front of an open window and gazed out. Later his mother heard a scream and rushed into the room to find the child gone. He had crawled out of the window and had fallen three stories. The frightened mother rushed down the stairs and found the baby unhurt. He had just grazed a picket fence and the pickets had caught his clothing, held him for a moment, and then dropped him gently to the pavement. Court Sustained! A Washington chauffeur has been sent to Jail for three years for taking a joy ride in his employer's automobile without permission. Courts and public are realizing that drastic measures are necessary to break up the joy-riding practice and the stealing of motor cars for this purpose. The jail sentence is a good experiment along this line. It might be extended to take in all speeders on the public highways. Commanding Attention "You say that article of yours has aroused vigorous comment?" "Yes, indeed." "I didn't know it had been published." "It hasn't. But it kept the families awake in four adjacent flats while I was pounding it out on the typewriter." Nearly Washed Ragged Haggard—You had a mighty close call in ddt lodgin' house fire, didn't you?

Salmon Are High Jumper At their best salmon can jump at least ten feet above the surface, a feat achieved by sipping the water with the powerful tail and flexing the body until the head and tail all but meet.

"Not always. Sometimes you can't even get a strap." THEIR COLLABORATION By CAMPBELL B. CASAD. After an absence of four weeks I was again at Betty's side. For a moment I stood in her cosy little sitting room, admiring her. "Ily Jove! Betty," I cried, I was thinking that we might collaborate on a play. A regular romantic drama. "What's the first act to be?" she demanded. "Let me see. Oh, yes, the scene is at the seashore, say Atlantic City." Betty looked suspiciously at me. "How very peculiar!" she murmured, "that is where we first met. But go on." "The heroine of our play," I began, as if reading from a written description, "is a beautiful, young girl with hair of spun gold, eyes of azure blue, and teeth of pearly whites." "She must be a pench," quoth Betty, "I should like to see her." "Then kindly step this way," I announced in formal tones as I took her arm and gravely led her before a large plate-glass mirror at one end of the room. There I stopped and ceremoniously cried: "Madam, behold the divinity of our play." "Mr. Winton, you are a silly goose," she assured me. Now for the hero: "Well, let's see; the hero meets her on the beach, gains an introduction through a mutual friend and everything seems smooth sailing. But, alas he finds out on better acquaintance that she is a heartless coquette—" "Sir! This time Betty is vexed. In the play," I calmly continue. "Oh! The climax of the act comes when she leaves for New York in an automobile accompanied by the hero's rival—" "Now, Harry, I protest—he was not the hero's rival," the adorable protests with spirit. "But this is in the play," I again assure her. "Well, I don't like it, even in the play." "All right, I'll let you try your hand on the next act," I concede. "Where does it take place?" she asks. "In the auto that has broken down half way to New York." "Really, Harry, on second thought, I believe that you had betted write this act. You have such a vivid imagination, you know." "Do you think so?" I ask. "Well, then, how's this? As the machine is hopelessly out of order, to avoid a scandal he suggests that they hunt up a minister and get married—" "Which suggestion she emphatically declines to agree to," Betty breaks in. "Why? I query with assumed innocence. "The reason is made known in the last act," she replies with irritating evasiveness, "but to continue. While they are plunged in defiance a life-saving countryman, seated in a rickety farm vagon makes his appearance and takes them in tow. In this manner they reach the city and the act closes. The last act is the strong one. "The action takes place in the heroine's home and the setting is identical with these rooms. The hero after a month's absence has called on her for the first time. He is very moody and as the conversation is far from animated, suggests that they write a play—" At this moment the doorbell rings and the maid enters. She announces: "Mr. and Mrs. Philip Armstrong." At this announcement, I start in surprise, then angrily cry: "What, that chap calling on you? And he married, too. The nerve of him." "Why, yes, he was even married when we took our automobile ride together." Betty laughs; "that was one reason that we couldn't marry after the accident." "One reason. Then, what, pray, was the other?" "He was already my brother-in-law." "Gee whiz! what a chump I am," I humbly acknowledge. "I think so, too," the unfeeling girl tells me. "Can you ever forgive a silly-nilly like me?" "If you coax hard enough, maybe," Betty relents. "Then suppose you let me into this family affair," I suggest. "What do you mean?" "Suppose you give me the right to call him brother-in-law as well as yourself." "Do you think that you deserve it?" she asks. "Well, that's the way all good plays should end," I explain. "Then for the sake of our play, I consent," and Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong entering at this moment surprise two very red-faced youngsters fondly embracing. (Copyright, by Daly Story Pub. Co.) Old City Found. Surprising discoveries have been made in the effort to excavate the vast baths of Caracalla at Rome, that have lain hidden under 200,000 cubic meters of earth. In this latest excavation it has been found that underneath the baths proper was a subterranean city, consisting of over 4,000 yards of vast galleries used by the ancient attendants and for marvellous hydraulic, heating and ventilating systems. The drainage is described as splendid, and but for the rise in the level of the river Tiber, which makes it impossible sufficiently to slope the pipes, these drains could still be used. Desire. . . . Woman can make of man anything she will—by holding herself from him. This is her power. Desire in man is all that electricity is to Nature. Mastering it a woman may light the world. Giving way to it ignorantly, she destroys herself. Useless. "Your son doesn't seem to think his education is doing him much good!"

Pad the ironing board with a thick quilt or old blanket, then lay the board on the table and cut a piece of heavy muslin so it will fit the board loosely. Seam it up, leaving the slip open at each end. Make two of these slips and change them frequently, says Mother's Magazine. Thus the ironing board is always clean, and the padding will not have to be changed for months.

To those who think these days are hot The Good Book tells us there's a spot Where we will go as like as not, And help fill up the melting pot, If not content here with our lot. Where sounds of sizzling greet our ears. A horny man in red appears. But we should worry when he feers When ice cream sodas and cool beers Are served once in a million years. Now, don't you wish you were a member of the Y. M. C. A.? Now that the watermelon season is upon us, we can breathe easier. After all the coal man wasn't a bad sort of a chap, but, oh, the ice man. Speaking of where to go for your vacation, West Michigan Resort should have first place. Now that the women in Illinois can vote, some of our pretty boys will have a chance to get in office. There are a few "dolls" on the "stroll" that should be tied to their mother's apron string a little longer. There might have been a few people who didn't get out to the dedication of the new Y. M. C. A., but we doubt it. It may be all right, but it does seem the legislature is a little long in appropriating that money for our new regiment. Wouldn't it be nice to have one Sunday to ourselves this summer without having a parade of some sort going on? Don't let the failure of one bank discourage you from saving your money. It's a nice habit to get into. Rainy days are frequent in this climate. They are debating the question as to whether Adam was a Negro or not. Just what difference it will make to us at this late day is a more debatable question. The much mooted question of the relation of the Negro and labor unions has been ably and exhaustively discussed by Dr. Booker T. Washington. It will pay every citizen in this country, white or black, to read "The Negro and Labor Unions," by Booker T. Washington, in the June Atlantic Monthly. --- NEW YORK REGIMENT Just why the New York papers look upon the formation of a colored regiment officered by members of the raco as such a doubtful experiment is hard to fathom. They need but look to Illinois for a shining example of organization and control. This old bugbear about Negroes being unwilling to take orders from members of their race might have held good before the war, when ignorance was universal, but today matters are quite different and the private points with pride to his superior officer, appreciating the fact that the higher he climbs the better it will be for him. The regiment in New York may be new, but it will demonstrate the capability of the Negro to take discipline and will prove an interesting object lesson. DEDICATING THE Y. M. C. A. Chicagos showed by their presence at the dedication of the new $200,000 Y. M. C. A. building last Sunday afternoon that they were heartily in sympathy with the movement and realized fully just what such an institution meant to the community in the way of social uplift. It has been a dream for many years, and now that it has become a reality, what man can refuse to give his moral and financial support to this haven, which means so much to him and his? We are told that it is the finest building of its kind in the world. That is due to a little way Chicagos have doing, what they do in the best possible manner regardless of time or expense. And so we should be doubly proud when we look at that magnificent structure standing there bidding welcome to all. It is ours; let us make the most of it. BANK FAILURES: Are the banks a safe place to put our earnings into? is a question that is going the rounds the past week. The recent 31st street bank scare is responsible in a great measure for this query. The public have grown suspicious of any unusual move whether it be a consolidation with another bank or a removal to another location, and madly make a run in the institution for their money. In the main, Chicago banks especially are safe, because they are either backed up by the state, or if a private bank, those interested in its management are men with tangible assets. While it is well to know the character of the institution you are placing your confidence in, it is advisable for every man or woman to have a place to save at least a portion of their earnings for a rainy day, and be sure that this place is what it represents itself to be. We are happy to recommend any of our neighboring banks, this recent scare notwithstanding. Look to the advertisers in this paper for banks we can vouch for. HAMPTON INSTITUTE HAMPTON INSTITUTE. The forty-fifth annual report of Hampton Institute, shows the remarkable results attained by industrial training. From a school of fifteen pupils and two teachers, it has grown to a settlement of over a thousand, and graduates of Hampton are everywhere making good by their splendid work and by the example set not only for the race, but for the whole nation. Industrial education is becoming the keynote in all schools of learning. No longer is it looked upon as being practical only for the Negro; the white boy and girl when school days are over must have something more than theory if they would compete with conditions of today. You are confronted with the question, What can you do? With all your years of study you must answer nothing save in a general way. The hand must be educated along with the brain. "The aim of such training," says Dr. Geo. P. Phenix, vice principal of Hampton, "is not merely to train workmen, but to educate men and women who shall stand for the best things in the communities to which they return, and who can make their skill contribute to this end." TUSKEGEE BAND. Capt. N. Clark Smith, leader of Tuskegee band and former leader of our musical entertainments in Chicago, after several years absence from our city, is about to return, bringing home "The Bacon" in the shape of Tuskegee Band, which is dated to appear at the 7th Regiment Armory July 17th as a feature of the mid-summer musical festival. Capt. Smith while in Chicago was an authority in musical circles, particularly in what "We Folks" liked. We shall all be glad to hear him, therefore. All the bands and musical organizations in the city of Chicago will be expected to attend in a body on the morning of July 17, and meet the special train bearing the Tuskegee Band and escort them to their headquarters at the 7th Regiment Armory, 32d & Wentworth avenue, where arrangements have been made by the citizens of Chicago to not only meet Capt. Smith and hear the Tuskegee Band, but also to trip the light fantastic till the wee sma'hours. This is but a fitting testimonial due one who has done so much toward making our folk love popular and Negro melodies a permanent place in the nation's musical archives. GRANDEATHER CLAUSE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE. Maryland, situated as it is on the border line, contains many rabid Southerners, who are constantly agitating the color question. They had adopted some little time ago a statute relating to the elective franchise in which there is contained a section designed to curtail the vote of the colored man, and in which a "grandfather clause" was embodied. Luckily the northern sentiment predominated, and a test case was made. The court of appeals of the state decided unanimously against such a clause, and our friends, the enemy, were put to rout. It is interesting to note that one of the judges who participated in this unanimous decision was one of the committee that prepared this same "grandfather clause" for introduction in the legislature. Doubtless the judge thought while in Rome he might as well do as Romans do. Eternal vigilance is the watchword for our people in every state in the union. If we go down—mark well the word IF—we go down fighting and with flags flying, 10,000,000 people are asking for justice. How long will it be after these 10,000,000 have been educated before they will not ask but demand justice? The big boy can domineer over the little fellow for awhile, but the little fellow grows up after awhile, then comes the day of reckoning. Even so with races. WHEN UNDER ARREST WHEN UNDER ARREST. The killing of Chester Robinson this week by Officer Fred. E. Wooster (white) at first would seem like wilful murder, but after hearing the evidence every citizen will agree that the officer did his duty regardless of what may be said against his action. When Robinson was placed under arrest he should have done like all respectable citizens would do—go with the officer and try the merits of his case in the courts. We are not living in that section of the country where you are not given justice and where an arrest, like the one in question would be without foundation and where a man would be sent to the chain gang for a year and a day for a trifle; but every judge on the bench would give you a fair trial and if you have any kind of a lawyer you would walk out on the street a free man. An officer has nine points of the law given him by you, and when his life is placed in danger and your laws trampled under foot, then he is doing your duty even to the extent of taking life. We believe the alley hangouts should go; the sooner the better, for it is they who are trying to make this, our only city of hope, a hell for the race such as any city in the south. SUPPOSE Esther Griffin White, writing in the Richmond, Ind., Item, puts this query to a white girl: "Suppose you were elbowed off the sidewalk, glared at in the street if you presumed to take the common right of way, barred out of places of amusement, exiled from the decent residence portions of the town, excluded from ice cream parlors and other places of like ilk, not permitted to 'put up' in hotels, segregated in special railway cars and railed off in public transportation vehicles, not admitted to the concert chamber—in fact, treated as though you were a being of lower order, suppose all this, what would you do?" History does not record the girl's answer, but there is but one thing she could do were she placed in the same position, and that is to submit as gracefully as possible to the indigencies heaped upon her by those in power, remembering ever "It is a long lane that has no turn." It is useless to bemoan our fate or挚列 sympathy; what Miss White stated is a fact patent to all, a plea for indulgence and sympathy. We ask for neither. What we demand is fair play and nothing short of that will suffice, the beggar is turned away from the door, but the man backed by truth and righteousness who demands what he is seeking. It takes time for all things; so we must be patient. ADVERTISING It was Josh Billings who observed "that he didn't care how much a man said so long as he said it in a few words." That is the story in a nutshell about advertising, and a story that our merchants must learn if they would be successful. It is surprising in this day and time how many of our business men are unaware of the beneficial results of advertising. When approached on an advertising proposition as a means of increasing their business they are scepital and apparently would rather stay in the rut than to expend a dollar that will return them five. Strange arguments and manner of figuring have our people, and yet there is no excuse for it when they daily see their competitor getting all the business simply by keeping his name and goods before the public. Pears soap people, it is said, stopped advertising one year, and as well known as their product is, the sales fell off half a million of dollars. Does that not argue in favor of advertising? The very brevity of the advertising stories—and they have to be brief—may have caused you to underestimate their importance. They tell you a whole lot in a few words, but leave a lot more just as interesting information unsaid. We can only say to our business men, advertising is no experiment, you are taking no chances. Start today; you will be surprised at the result, and in closing we can add without fear of contradiction. The DEFENDER is the best advertising medium in the states. From Our Exchanges Two Governors. Gov. Sulzer of New York, Democrat, says that his action in signing the bill for the organizing of a colored regiment was prompted because of his principle that there should be no discrimination among citizens because of race, color or creed. If that is his platform, we would support him regardless of whether he was the candidate of the Republican, Democrat or Progressive party. It is a remarkable statesman who subscribes to right principles regardless of the prejudices of those who surround him. God bless Gov. Sulzer!—Richmond (Va.) Planet. The colored people of Pennsylvania are aroused and indignant because Gov. Tener, a Republican has vetoed the bill providing for the establishment of a colored regiment. The bill was passed by a Republican legislature. In New York, a similar bill was passed by a Democratic legislature and signed by Gov. Sulzer, a Democrat. What is being said in some quarters by the colored leaders is unprintable. They are very desirous of having both governors run for office again. They want to show their approval of the one and their disapproval of the other—Richmond (Va.) Planet. Genuine Pity. "Mr. and Mrs. Whifter never have any arguments." "How does that happen!"

Keep Healthy A Weekly Talk on Preventative Measures, First Aid Remedies, Hygienics, Sanitation. No Cases will be Diagnosed and No Prescriptions will be Given in This Column. J. A. B. Fruits and Vegetables. This is the season of the year when fruits and vegetables should form a large part of our diet. A nice orange or a few berries, cherries or grapes before breakfast in the morning is most appetizing. Fruits and vegetables contain a great deal of sugar and starches which give heat and energy to the body. Fruits and vegetables are far better for the system and much easier to digest. We Americans eat too much heavy peanut sauce. We city people who work indoors, such as in an office or in a store and whose occupation is mainly sedentary, should eat meat sparingly. The function of lean meat is to repair body waste not to produce heat and thus give energy. Such rich foods as duck, goose, sirloin and porterhouse steaks are difficult to digest by the stomach and of elimination from the system by the digestive organs. Nature's Storehouse. Nature has provided a storehouse for the starches, sugars and fats of the body. The starches and sugars are stored away in the liver and given out, as a good housewife would give out the necessary rations, from time to time, according to the needs of the tissues of the body. The fats are stored away in various tissues around and about certain organs of the body for future use. In cases of starvation, fats of the body are consumed first, but this is not the case with lean meats or protein bodies whose end product is urea, which is a rank poisonous substance to the tissues of the body. The cereal foods bodies cause irritation of the kidneys, because these substances are excreted by the kidneys, produce Nephritis—inflammation of the kidneys—or what is commonly termed Bright's disease. Too much meat makes one sluggish and intellectually lazy. Bolls and Blackheads. Boils and blackheads are often caused from eating a large amount of pork. Often worms are produced in pork. Worms are often seen from eating a great deal of pork. Questions Mrs. R. E. M. writes: "How often should one in good health eat?" Reply: One in good health should eat two good, generous, mixed meals in 24 hours and one light meal or luncheon, making in all three meals daily. Eat something nourishing once in every 5 or 6 hours. Nursing Baby. Mrs. M. E. B. writes: "My baby is one week old and wants to nurse every time it wakes up. How often should I nurse my baby? He vomits the milk, does this mean my milk does not agree with him and should I put him on a bottle?" Reply: An ordinary healthy baby should sleep 20 hours out of 24. The baby should nurse every 2 hours during the day and about every four hours during the night, and should not sleep in the bed with its mother. (3) Because the baby vomits your milk is not a good reason for you to put him on the bottle. The mother should try drinking more water, try giving baby a little warm water so as to dilute the milk, and try not to nurse it so often. Don't think of putting the baby on the bottle as long as you have sufficient milk to nurse it. Breast milk is the best nourishment that Nature has ever found for babies and at this stage of your condition, nursing the baby will do your mental physical condition good. Mrs. G. E. T. writes: "I am a seamatress and my weight is 140 pounds. I feel weak and tired all the time, and of mornings, I am just as tired as when I went to bed at night. I like lots of candy, ice cream sodas, and good juicy steaks. What would you advise me to do for my tired, weak feeling? Have I spring fever?" Reply: Mrs. G. E. T.: I would advise first that you get out and walk one to three miles every day. Get up a good sweat and take a mild tepid bath at night, and in the morning take a cold bath with a vigorous rub, using a rough towel. Third, I would advise that you have your whole bowel track thoroughly cleaned out—get your liver and kidneys in full activity. Take your urine (morning specimen) to your physician and have an examination made of it. Cut out all sweets and let up on rich, juicy steaks. Eat, instead, potatoes, cereals, vegetables and fruits. For luncheon milk and mush; for breakfast, soft boiled or poached eggs, bread with little butter, apple sauce and some fruits; for dinner, boiled vegetables and after eating do not sit around or lie down, but get out and take a good walk into the parks for an hour or two. After following these instructions I think you will have a refreshing sleep and feel rested in the morning. (2) No, I would not say that you have spring fever—you may not have any fever—but from your statement, you are suffering from an over-stuffed system or what we call self-poison, autoinotoxication, and you need a vigorous working of the eliminating organs of your body to get rid of this self-inotoxication. HEALTH NOTES. Press Service, Department of Health. When listening to advice from a mother who tells you that she has buried three children and knows something about raising babies, better find some mother who has her children still with her and let her tell you how she saved them. The summer days are here. Take good care of your ice box. Keep it clean and sweet all the time. A good way to do this is to wash it, say, once a week with boiling hot water containing a little soda. Also be careful to keep it free from stale and decaying foods of every kind. Scrupulous cleanliness is the only way to avoid the danger of potioname poisoning and even the lesser intestinal disorder that are caused by eating sourd stale and partially decayed foods. The vacation season is here, so be careful. Yes, we mean just that, be careful. The summer resort dangers are many and should be avoided. Two very important matters to be looked into are files and the water supply. The summer resort keeper whose houses or cottages are not well screened and who does not keep the files out of the kitchen and dining room is not a safe person to patronize. Shallow wells in close proximity to outdoor toilets are also dangerous. Most of the small lakes at summer resorts are polluted by surface drainage and seepage from privy vaults and in this way the water from shallow wells near such lakes is dangerous and should not be used unless boiled or treated chemically to make it safe. Here is an easy way to treat water that you suspect of being contaminated with sewage or surface drainage filth: Take a level teaspoonful of chloride of lime and dissolve thoroughly in a common coffee cup of water. Then pour into a suitable receptacle and dilute with three cupfuls of water. A single teaspoonful of this dilution will purify two gallons of water. This will give between four and five parts of free chlorin to a million parts of water and will destroy in ten minutes all typhoid, cholera or any of the dysentery germs. The water thus treated will be free from taste or odor and if put into clean stoppered bottles, and stored in clean stoppered bottles, can be kept always ready for use. Have you ever taken thought of the far-reaching influence of good sanitary laws when they are properly enforced? Take, for example, epidemics of the dangerous communicable diseases; the laws regulating these are above all other laws in scope and authority because they are intended for the protection of human lives. But aside from unusual or emergency conditions sanitary laws do a great many things. They help to give us better foods by compelling care and cleanliness on the part of those who prepare, handle or serve foods of every kind. Under the enforcement of such laws, restaurants and hotels must have clean kitchens; preservers of foods must maintain a high standard of cleanliness and keep them free from chemical preservations or dangerous adulterants of every kind. Garbage and other dangerous wastes must be properly disposed of. Water must be kept pure and safe and foodstuffs must be carefully screened from files. Common drinking cups and dangerous roller towels abolished and neighborhood or community nuisances of every kind that affect the public health regulated and controlled. So it is easy to see that sanitary laws are indispensable for community good and safety. And in order to get the greatest amount of benefit from them, we all should lend our best support to their enforcement and be ready to obey them all the time.

Crosthwait, Jr., who graduated from Purdue University at Lafayette, Ind., June 11, left for Marshalltown, Ia., where he has secured a position as draftman.

The Grand. There is no denying the fact that we had several warm evenings (we use the word warm not because it expresses our feelings but it is the polite way to speak about the weather) this past week, but we were agreeably surprised to find the Grand, due to the excellent ventilating system, very comfortable and the performance could be enjoyed in comfort. The bill was made up with Paul and Azela comedy shadowists, who did a clever turn, the Four Cook Sisters, who sang not above the average; the Great Harrah & Co. roller skaters, the kind you have seen so often; Tabor and Green, who got off a bunch of merry jingles, had pleasing voices and got a few harmonious chords out of the piano. Then came the All Star Five Musical Barons. They stand so far above the musical acts of the stage today that it is hard to describe them. They must be seen to be appreciated. There is an air of tone and refinement about this act that is seldom nowadays seen, and each instrument they play better than the preceding one. They are Chicago boys and Chicagoans are proud of them. Joe Jordan and Bud Joiner have received a very flattering offer from managers abroad, and expect to leave early in the fall for a two years' tour of the continent. It will be remembered these two clever artists were on at the Grand a short time ago and more than made good. Everybody knows our own little Lottie Grady and will give her a rousing welcome at the Grand next week where she is booked to appear as the headliner. She brings with her this season one or two new ones of Will Rossiter, which no doubt she will put over in her own peculiar way. Let's give her a rousing welcome.

BOOKS AND THOSE WHO WRITE THEM. By D. W. Johnson. THE CONQUEST—The Story of a Nexto Piloner. By the Piloner. From the Piloner, published by Neb. In its second edition. Price $1.30. "The Conquest," written by "a pioneer Negro," is a very interesting story of a young man who, by a hard and manly struggle, possessed of thrift, tact, push and energy, forged his way, in 9 years, from a mental life of a wop, at a dollar and a half a day, to power, affluence and a fortune of thirty thousand dollars. This young man was an adventurer, a lover of travel, a keen observer and a splendid story teller. "The Conquest" is interspersed with a bit of romance here and there and the story is told in a lively, interesting manner, with a touch of human nature in every line. The story of his life in southern Illinois, his discontent and subsequent venture in the great city of Chicago, the breathless moments spent in hunting for a job and the heart-rending throbs from disappointment, make up chapters that are intensely interesting. Being possessed of an adventurous, pioneer spirit himself, he seems to be unduly impatient with the progress of the race as a whole. His criticism of Armour avenue, Dearborn street and some parts of Wabash avenue, is apparently harsh, but there is no doubt that some of it is well deserved. While it was a custom of old writers, for certain reasons, to abbreviate, and is yet indulged in to a certain extent, it seems that the numerous abbreviations or hyphened words are unnecessary and unintelligible, especially when he is so very plain in many other instances, where concealment would probably have been a better policy. The author is endowed with a fervid imagination, he builds cities on the western plains by magic art and transplants them with the facility of a nymph. There is a sympathetic touch of true romance in the chapter of the little Scotch girl. The author probably threw his chances in life, for real happiness, to the winds, when he sacrificed his love for the little Scotch girl to race loyalty. The principal part of the rest of the story deals with his courtship, marriage and separation. His solitary loneliness, deceptive, desertion and acrimonious abuse by his "loving" father-in-law and the rest of the family. "The Conquest" is a splendid story of western life, dedicated to the Hou.

It was no evidence of any special shrewdness on my part that I knew what Wilson was watching the train for. The papers were full of the details of Judson's last exploit. The trick he had turned on this particular occasion was the lifting of a tray of diamonds from the importing firm of Courier Freres. The police had followed Judson pretty sharply and I knew that Wilson must have got some tip to the effect that Judson was going to take a train for a cooler habitat—most probably the 9:40 for the west. Now, Wilson and I knew each other by sight. We had had a professional rub or two on former occasions, and I knew with what I had to deal. It just happened that I saw him get a telegram at the station office and that gave me two ideas which I proceeded to put into effect. One was to intercept the messenger boy attached to the office, and for a quid pro quo induce him to hand to Wilson this message, scrubbed on a telegraph blank: "Mr. Wilson: I forgot in my hurry to copy the message just delivered to you. Kindly return it to me for a moment and I will hand it to you at any time.—Mary Emerson, Operator." Five minutes later the boy handed me the message Wilson had received. It read: "Anderson says Judson will take the 9:40 train for Chicago. Will wear a long white beard.—Foley." Foley was the chief. His dispatch threw new light on the Judson tip. So Anderson had turned against Judson. It happened that I was going to take the 9:40 train myself, and I determined to keep a sharp outlook for anybody with a long white beard. I was smooth shaven myself. But the second idea. It was ridiculously easy to write a message myself, and my convenient messenger friend for another quid pro quo handed it to Wilson. My message run like this: "Made a mistake. Judson will leave on the 9:15 for Montreal.—Foley" It was already 9:05 and Wilson had barely time to catch the 9:15 train, for he swallowed the spoon, hook and bait. With Wilson safely side-tracked, I boarded my train. "Message for Henry Wilson. Is Mr. Wilson in this car?" "Ah, yes, I guess that's for me," I remarked, casually, reaching out my hand for it as the conductor stopped at my berth. Of course it was from Foley. It read: "Anderson makes complete confesson. Says story of Judson being disguised was a blind. He will, so far as Anderson knows, be smooth shaven, as he does not suspect he will be followed, but thinks he has sidetracked us. Williams is at Buffalo, and will meet the train at Lee's Landing—Foley." The plot was thickening. "How far are we from Lee's Landing, porter?" I inquired. "Next stop, sir." I started on another exhaustive inspection of the car, but there was no body there whom I thought Williams would be likely to spot as Judson. But there was a gentleman with a long brown beard, sitting all alone in one end of the car. A white beard might be dyed overnight. "Would you mind stepping into my drawing room compartment, sir?" I said in a weak voice as I bent over the brown-whiskered gentleman. "That's a very fine bunch of whiskers you have there, my friend." I said fiercely, "and I shall have to trouble you for them! Don't make any fuss now and you won't get hurt!" The sheer absurdity of my words made him blink bewildered and before he got through blinking I had him tied hand and foot and two minutes later I had neatly snipped off his beautiful brown beard. I had become suddenly alive to the fact that a pair of whiskers was something that I needed in my business. I usually went provided with spirit gum and other toilet accessories, but I had neglected to grow a bunch of side whiskers or provided myself with a set of false ones. "Lee's Landing!" shouted the brakeman, as I stepped up the drawing room to run plump into Williams, whom I spotted instantly. "He's in the drawing room there!" I whispered hurriedly in Williams' ear. "Yes. This is Wilson! I am detalled on another lay; that's why you were wired to meet me. Grew these over night. Good luck." Then half holding my whiskers with my hand to keep them from falling off, I pulled my hat down over my eyes and made my getaway. It wasn't a very close shave for the parson, but it was for me, all on account of that traitor Anderson. I just escaped by a hair—that is, by a conveniently large number of hairs, judiciously used. Q: Do you I was Judson. You have guessed that. (Copyright by Daily Story Pub Co.) To Set Colors.

The attendance was far above the average and the names of three were added to the roll. At 11 a. m. the pastor was in the pulpit and delivered the "good news" in a style that made our hearts burn. At 5 p. m. not less than at the morning service the pastor occupied the "sacred rostrum" and continued to pour the oil of gladness into our hearts to the extent that the church rejoiced greatly in the happy conversion of Mrs. Elnora Jefferson, who also joined the church. Our class meetings have been changed to Thursday nights, which seems to have met the unanimous approval of all the members as well as our moral supporters. It is the aim of the pastor to make these meetings both educational and spiritual. The third quarterly meeting of our church will be Sunday, June 22.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGATIONAL "Oh, Don't Try to Be so Good; You Make Me Weary; Have a Good Time, Hit the Pace, Go Down the Line, Clink the Glasses, Speed the Car, Dine the Girlies, Drink with the Kiddies; Live Today if You Die Tomorrow," Whispers Satan in Every Thoughtless Ear, and Those Who Listen, Those Who Yield, Have Taken the First Step That Leads Away from Contentment Here and Rest Beyond the Tomb. Text, Luke 22:31:32: "And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren." "The belief in evil spirits or an evil spirit is a universal one," declared Dr. Laurence in the opening of his morning service. "The practical experience of men helps to deepen this impression and keep it ever fresh in their memories. "This we all know to be true, and to it as a fact we are all ready to Rev. Eugene Lawrence. bear witness, that something which we cannot explain gets the better of us now and then, here and there, and in the words of the apostle we say, 'When I would do good, evil is present.' Sometimes we stand and sometimes we fall. Whether true or not, it seems to us that the test comes when we least expect it, and when we are least prepared to meet it. "The most striking example of this that I now think of is that represented in the Book of Job. There we get a picture of a strong and prosperous man, a good man, one who is represented as righteous. Satan appears on the scene transpiring before the Father to accuse him. Said Satan, 'Oh, well, that man Job isn't as good as he pretends to be; he is simply wearing the cloak of righteousness because you have blest him and made him prosperous; you have given him health and strength, a large family, cattle, sheep, and lambs; you have given him servants and made all men fall at his feet; take him down from this throne of worldly glory and you will see what kind of a man he is; you will find out how much love he has for you and how much respect for your commandments.’ “According to the story, Satan is given permission to test Job, and a severe and most cruel test it was. "Here was a man who, having once been rich and powerful, through successive experiences was reduced to poverty. How did he bear his losses? His lands were seized, his property snatched away, his servants slain, and finally his sons and daughters all meet sudden death. Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground and worshiped, and said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord giveth, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." "But this was not to be the end of Job's calamity; and again Satan is represented as coming forward to accuse him. Says he, in the language of today, 'There are plenty of rich men who could survive the loss of property, and even the loss of their own children; but you put forth your hand and touch his own person, 'Skin for skin, all that a man hath will he give for his life,' but touch now his own bone and flesh with disease, and 'he will curse thee to thy face.'" "There is a faith, a trust, that passeth understanding. Who among us have the faith? Who of us have the faith and patience to suffer long and be kind, cheerful and hopeful? Have not some of you had a taste of the cup? Out of some of your experiences has not the cup been pressed to your lips? And have you not drunk therefrom? My son, my daughter, Satan desires you that he may sift you as wheat. In such an hour see to it your faith fall not, and when you have been tried as by fire and have stood the test, strengthen your brethren, give them the benefit of your experience, tell them of the power of Christ to save even to the uttermost. "I know, and you know, men who did not have as much as Job had to lose, but losing what little they had, maybe a house and lot, a small bank account, a son or daughter, or their health, have gone insane, worried so that they lost their minds. Others have grown skeptical, some even to the point of bitter denunciation against the name of God; still others have grown so hardened and desperately wicked that they not only doubt the existence of a wise and just God but they curse the very idea. I wonder if there are those here this morning who, because of material losses, the loss of relatives, husband, wife, mother, father, son or daughter, have become a little uncertain, grown a little doubtful with regard to the justice, mercy and love of God the Father? I wonder if there are those who because of continued poor health, physical and mental suffering are losing patience, faith and trust? Remember, then, the words of the text: Satan hath desired to have you that he might sift as wheat. But, says the Master, I have prayed for you, that your faith fall not. "But giving perhaps a little more exact interpretation of the text, aside from the loss of property, friends, relatives or one's own health, there are many tests for us all, some of which have and will sorely try our Christian faith; they come daily and almost hourly. Things don't always go to suit us and we lose our tempers and say and do many rash and hurtful things, both to ourselves and to others. Or desiring to follow Christ, we come to the parting of the ways, where to follow Him means the giving up of many pleasures. Then arises the question, Which shall I choose? The one appeals to my sense of honor and the worth of immortal glory and happiness; the other to my sense of enjoyment and pleasure. Satan then gets in his word, saying, 'Oh, don't try to be so good; don't make life a burden; have a good time; enjoy yourself.' And by these simple words many have been turned aside, surrendered their high ideals and principles, thus becoming content to live upon a lower plane of thought and life, with no gleam of joy, no hope or promise of an eternity outside the realms of hell. "It itt enough to merely refrain from vice and crime, and sin as it is generally defined by public sentiment. That of course is a very important step; but things don't get done and conditions are not made better by mere self-restraint and taking a negative attitude towards life, the good and the bad. Progress is only made by continually doing something that is positive, constructive and good. Let not friend or foe discourage or persuade you that such a life is not the noblest that you can live, and in the end, if indeed not now, you will find it by, far the most satisfactory. If the way at times seems dark, uncertain, and unfriendly, take courage and press on towards the celestial city where darkness has given place to light, where doubt shall be displaced by certain knowledge, and where God the Father shall wipe away all tears.

Sunday morning service, 10:45 a.m.; Sunday school, 1:15 p. m.; Intermediate Christian Endeavor, 6 p. m.; Senior Christian Endeavor, 7 p. m.; evening service, 8 p. m. Services as cool and refreshing to the thirsty as a cup of cool water to the parched lips of a traveler enjoyed at St. John last Sunday. All who came seeking a balm for heartache and peace for strife in abundance the healing virtues for which their souls yearned. The inspiring gospel messages by Dr. Wilson and the appealing music by the choir caused the intense heat to be less felt and to lose its swelwery influence. Such services as these you will always find at St. John. If the weather be hot or cold, the spiritual temperature will be so regulated by the pastor and members that all will feel comfortable and will rejoice in the praises of God. Seven hundred and five dollars were realized from the last rally of May 19 and 20. Now a second effort is being put forth to raise at least four or five hundred dollars by the first Sunday in August. Dr. Wilson feels that if a debt of $1,000 can be melted down to $895 in cool weather, surely this balance ought to be melted down to pennies during the hot months. The annual convention of the Allen Christian Endeavor League of the Chicago district will be held at St. John Church July 22 and 23, inclusive. HOPE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Superiority of man in the home—no mollycoddle—must be brave and strong—ideal husband appreciative—brought bouquets to sweetheart—f faithful and true. "The etymology of the term 'husband' indicates his importance in the home. In this age of noble chivalry and gallantry; this age of woman exaltation, we are liable to lose the correct view of the superiority of man in the home. "Masculine generosity permits us to laud womanhood in terms of exaggeration, for it is the part of the strong to be generous. "And yet, we must not lose sight of the fundamental truth, that mau is the Divine head of the home. "The first requisite to a model husband is 'manliness.' He is a manly man. He is no soft, effilinate 'mollycoddle,' always trying to save himself self; to keep soft hands and a smooth face. "But brave and strong in character, even willing to shield the weak from oppression and wrong at the risk of self-sacrifice. "Every wife adores and reverences the strong, heroic manly man. "Again, the ideal husband appreciates the efforts of his wife to make his home happy. He gives her a word of praise now and then, when she has done the best she can. Gives her some little keepsake as a reminder of the days before they were married. Oh, men, just think how careful you were in those days. How you brought the boquet. How you were constantly looking for something for your sweet-heart. How polite you were. "Yea, the ideal husband gives constant attention to those little courtesies, which nurtured the tender flower of affection that made them husband and wife. Neglect of those mutual marks of kindly consideration will prove fatal to the tender plant of love. "Therefore the ideal husband is faithful and true to the implicit confidence reposed in him by her, who has left all to be his wife. "It is a sad picture to see a tender young woman, loved by her brothers and sisters, respected by her neighbors, and fondly cared for and protected by her devoted parents; to see her turn her back on the old home and friends, start out for a life in a world untried and unknown to her, go on relying upon the man who has chosen her to be his wife, trusting wholly upon the man, whom she has accepted for her husband! "I hear her saying, as she goes; I trust you as my provider; I trust you to be true to me while life shall last; I trust you to make my future home as pleasant and happy as my childhood home; I will follow you among strangers, and if need be to the ends of the earth." "Wonderful confidence! Marvelous trust to repose in a human being." PROMINENT CLARKSVILLE COUPLE MARRIED (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Clarksville, Tenn., June 20.—Dr. Robt. T. Burt and Miss Emma Williams were married Wednesday afternoon, June 11, at the home of the bride's father, Ed. Williams, on Madison extension. Rev. D. A. Graham officiating. The bride's father is one of Montgomery county's most highly respected citizens and is widely known as a stock dealer and farmer. The bride has recently returned from Fisk University. The groom, Dr. Burt, has been practicing in Clarksville for the last twelve years. Seven years ago he bought a large brick building upon a five-acre grove, remodeled it into an ideal hospital where it is still in operation. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER. The Tramp Printer's Commonplace "Take" and Story He Added Thereto. By DANIEL SERGIL. When Bud Williams blew into the Paladium office one cold winter day he was received with an effusiveness which nearly took him off his feet. Not that Bud did not understand the situation. Only it was rather unusual. He knew that old Bently did not enthuse over his appearance because of brotherly love but that the editor was very shy of printers. Bud was no stranger in the Palladium office. Indeed, it was one of his regular stops. He invariably came (as he arrived in all the other towns on his somewhat extensive route) in a state of mental, moral and physical and financial collapse. He generally got a case at once as he was a lightning compositor and in a week or two would knock out strings that would make the regular fellows green with envy. But when he got his money—generally at the end of the first week, surely at the end of the second—well, that was the end of him for the present. He flagger John Barleycorn at once and never wavered in his allegiance until all his money was gone, at which time the chances were he was in condition to be hauled before the police magistrate and receive a 20-day sentence on the stone pile or, if the lockup was crowded, be given two hours to get out of town. Then we would see him no more for months. On this particular occasion he was more ragged, disreputable and ghastly than usual—certainly not an object to be welcomed with high honora. But old Bently had just had the tax list dumped upon him and had two printers sick at home and was in a great stew. For be it known to the uninitiated the tax list in a country newspaper office is a most important thing not only as regards the great emoluments therefrom, but also because it is a big job of typesetting and absolutely must be correct, and furthermore, must appear promptly at the appointed time. So it happened that old Bently greeted Bud as a long-lost brother and before the latter had fairly caught his LE 12 Bud's Stick Was on the Floor. breath (although the rest of us had) he found himself in front of a case with great "takes" of tax-list copy in front of him and old Bently puring things about a bonus on all strings exceeding a given amount per day. He been at work about three days when he began the Palladium scoop which made him famous in the office and which cost old Bently his valuable services so far as that particular tax list was concerned. Each afternoon just before the paper went to press Bud was pulled off the tax list and used to help out in the last grand rush before press time. Naturally he caught the last end of the limited telegraph service enjoyed by the Palladium. On the particular day in question he caught a dispatch from Omaha—almost the last dispatch before "20. For a moment there was the swift click of the types, when a crash that drew every eye in the room. Bud's "stick" was on the floor, its contents "pled" and Bud was hunging onto the case with trembling hands and a face so white as to give grave cause for the most serious aprehensions. "What's the matter?" yelled the foreman jumping toward him. "Sick." "No," replied Bud, bracing up with a great effort and a sickly smile. "Just dizzy a bit. Reckon I cut out the booze too suddenly. I'm all right now." He picked up his stick and started over again and never had the types clicked so fast in the Palladium office before. Evidently, we thought, Bud was trying to make good and recover the lost time. Some minutes inter the foreman shouted: "You, there, Williams! Where in blazes is that last telegraph story? You're stickin' the rag." "In a minute," replied Bud steadily and his nimble fingers moved faster than ever. Presently he dumped his last sticky on the galley and without a word put on his coat and went out. A moment later Bently had the galley and was giving it the hasty reading the tail end of the matter gets on a country newspaper. This is what he read: Omana, Feb. 19.—(Special.) The body of ornamental found in police this morning in a nearby empty room Blank tenements. She evidently had died of hunger and cold. There was no fire in the room and no signs of food. The woman with a few days and none of the neighbors knew who she was or where she came from. There was nothing on her person to indicate her name or identity with the exclamation "wrong gold ring" on wedding ring inscribed on the inside. "Mary-Guy." She was a woman about 35 and bore evidences of having once been a slave and bore evidence of ship and sorrow had left deep marks upon her. Her hair once was a sunny brown, but was heavily streaked with gray. Her eyes were a violet blue. The body was taken to the county morgue. The police are attempting to ascertain her identity. Underneath this commonplace dispatch Williams had placed a dash and added this: In connection with the above case the Paladium has ascertained that there lies a bitterly bitter tragedy. The woman once was Mary Bell and lived in Olmsted. O. with her parents on a comfortable farm. One day there came into her life a young printer named Guy Willey was master of his trade and able to make the money he made on his line. He wood the sunny-hired maidon and won her. The young couple started out under the most favorable conditions and devotedly attached to one another and the young man was able to earn enough so they lived in comfort—even luxury. From his savings a home was built and paid for and the future stretched out before them with no shadow across the golden promises. But there was a shadow and it fell all too soon. Slumbering in the veins of young man was the curse of the alcoholic, the alcoholic was his own. With a sort of natural depravity not to be accounted for on any reasonable hypothesis. This hydra-headed demon awoke with rapidity the young man own. With sure rapidity the young man wired the wretched path to dishonor, misery and bestiality. The earnings became less and were used in his debacles. The life in flats then in tenements. With the fatuous loyalty of womankind Mary clung to the sweetheart of her husband, who he him to abandon his ways and then would ensue some weeks of happiness and hope but ultimately he would return to his wife. The woman would begin again her efforts to help her. Her parents died and her small patrimony soon went the way of the rest. Finally he was unable to hold a job in the city, and was compelled to go away to find work. This was easy enough because of his unusual skill but he was unable to work. He became a tramp printer, wandered town to town, picking up work enough to keep himself alive and in liquor. At first he sent a little money to her from time to time but finally ceased even to do this. Still loyal to him she started after him and followed him from town to town, living, heaven knows how. Once in a while he knows how. Once in a better nature and he would try to be deceived for his days or weeks but these periods never lasted long and became more and more infrequent. while she has found rest and peace while somewhere on this earth the gully wretch who threw away her prieless love, broke her heart and murdered her as surely as though he had plunged a knife into her heart in shame and degradation, despised of men, hitting himself, without hope, without self-respect, too craven to end his miserable exile, and yet suffering the torments of the damnation, without doubt if even the knowledge of the death of his victim will have further effect than to move him to a mement of maudlin tears. Old Bent stared at her for unseeing eyes for some minutes after finishing it. He was aroused by an outburst from the foreman who feared not even the old man when it came to his daily race with the clock. "Where's that last proof!" he shouted. "It's O. K.; let it go," replied old Bent slowly. It was more than two years before we saw Bud Williams again and when he came in everybody gasped in surprise. He was sober, clean and well-dressed and bore himself with an air of quiet dignity totally foreign to the Bud of the old days. He went straight to old Bently who was bending over the forms trying to show the foreman how to get 30 inches of advertising next to 24 inches of reading matter. "Aln't got a case today—nothing done," he growled as he looked up. "Don't want a case," replied Bud, pulling a great wad of banknotes from his pockets. "I have saved enough to put a monument over Mary's grave and—and—I though you might be willing to go over to Omaha and help me do it. I don't know much about such things." There was dead silence in the shop. The audacity of the thing was paralyzing. The old man gazed at Bud in a startled sort of way for a minute. "I do it," he said. "Me meet at the eight-thirty in the morning—and I've got plenty of transportation." When he returned old Bently told of the beautiful shaft of pure white marble they had selected and the simple and eloquent inscription Bud had ordered upon it. A week later the dispatches told of the suicide of a printer named Guy Williams who had shot himself on his wife's grave over which he had just erected a beautiful and costly monument. (Copyright, by Daily Story Fub. Co.) I am inclined to believe that for a woman love is the supreme authority—that which judges the rest and decides what is good or evil. For a man, love is subordinate to right. It is a great passion, but it is not the source of order, the synonym of reason, the criterion of excellence. It would seem, then, that a woman placed her ideal in the perfection of love and a man in the perfection of justice—Henri Frederic Amiel. How Fish Are Drowned Paradoxical as it may seem, fish have been drowned, just as human beings have been smothered by a too great pressure of air. One experiment consisted in putting fish into selzer water, which brought about death by suffocation. If a living and healthy fish be put into water recently boiled, from which have been driven all the gases ordinarily present in distilled water, the fish dies in the same way.—Harper's Weekly.

"Yes," replied Miss Tottle Twinx, "but do you know, some of those dukes and earls don't seem a bit grateful for the way we show girls rescue them from obscurity." It Took Time. "Your sister's a long time about making her appearance," suggested the caller. "Well," said the little brother, "she'd be a sight if she came down without making it."

T., together with their wives and sweethearts, assembled at Masonic Hall and enjoyed their annual banquet. The ladies were elaborately gowned. Eminent Commander J. O. Hawkins swayed those present with his address of welcome. There were flowers in profusion. The hall decorations were large pink canes of roses. It was a delightful cabaret service Mrs. S. J. Carter of "Villa Carter" fame served. ELL-KNOWN WAITER APPOINTED TO OLD POSITION. Mr. R. S. Bishop has lately been appointed second head waiter in the Palmer House Restaurant. He held this position several years ago and after his resignation the place was filled by whites. The other men of color at the Palmer House welcome Mr. Bishop's return, as they have experienced his ability as a leader. This well-known man of color stands out as one of the most capable men not only in his profession but also as a real "mixer" that the race can boast of. THE MARKSES CELEBRATE TENTH MARRIAGE MILESTONE. So Over Same Ground They Did the Night They Married Ten Years Ago —Same Druggist on Watch That Night as Was Tuesday Night. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Marks, 4558 Champlain avenue, celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary by going over the same ground they did the night they were married, and, strange to say, everyone they met at that time was met Tuesday night at Rankins' drug store, 30th and State streets, where they called up Mr. and Mrs. Spotts, and Mr. Rankins was on duty; they found him on duty Tuesday night, and when the drugrist learned what had happened he said, "Well, the treat is on me." The couple took chairs, he joining them, and were served with "Rankins' Special" cream soda. Then he turned to Mr. Marks, who has been a steady customer, and gave him a box of cigars and gave her bound of Rankins' Z-eat La Po Metz cand. The happy couple, after visiti ing the Y. M. C. A., wound up at the Grand. Thinking they were going home, a reporter for The Defender boarded a south-bound car and they went on south and were seen to go into 5231 Wabash avenue, where it was later learned Mrs. Marks' slater lives. After a pleasant visit Mr. Marks stopped at Fish stand, 51st State streets, and tried some of the field food he used to eat before he took a bride. He said to his wife, "Geet but this is natural." EXPOSITION BILL. (Continued from Page 1.) cured him active employment on the stump for the party. I think he is a man of character. I think he found him straightforward, and feel he does his duty as he sees it. From what I have seen, he is worthly of entire confidence. My interest in him lies in the fact that even a man of character can be a time of Republican corruption. Alain could be counted upon to do the right thing. Yours truly, (Signed) ALBERT ESTOPINAL. Mr. Noah D. Thompson Proves a Real Benefactor—Secures Positions for Boys and Girls in Factories and Department Stores. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Los Angeles, Cal., June 20—Mr. Noah D. Thompson, formerly of Chicago but now a resident of this city, gets considerable praise in the newspapers for his interest in the race. In its issue of June 13 the Liberator says: "Mr. Noah D. Thompson, who lives quietly on his splendid property at 55th and Long Beach avenue, is a real race benefactor. Wherever he goes about the city he is ever on the look-out for openings for members of the race. On several occasions when he saw new business houses just preparing to open he sought out the managers and gave them to understand that the placing of a colored person in the establishment would be highly appreciated by the colored people. In this way he has secured a number of paying positions for young colored women who were idle. "In a similar manner he visited the Vernon Basket Factory, a recent establishment three blocks from the Furlong tract. After an interview with Mr. Thompson the manager agreed to employ fifteen colored girls, of which number nine are already employed, leaving an opening for six more. A number of colored school girls are employed there who earn 50 to 75 cents per day after school hours. Mr. Thompson is an old employee of the Tuskegee Institute and is still infused with the Tuskegee spirit." AURORA, ILL. The members of the Ladies' Embroidery Club, accompanied by their husbands, were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Albert E. Smith in their beautiful home at 314 Beach street Friday evening, June 13. Mr. and Mrs. Smith are society people of the highest type and are always noted for their really elaborate way of doing things. Promptly at 8:30 the guests were seated in the lovely dining room and a four-course dinner was served. The menu was as follows; Radishes Olives Green Onions Pork Tenderloin, Mushroom Sauce Salad Whole Tomatoes Browned in Minced Liver After dinner Mrs. Smith entertained on her beautiful pianola. The decorations were pansies. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. John Morten, Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Mayweather, Mr. and Mrs. Stanford Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. John Durette The guests departed at 12 by automobiles. THE DEFENDER IS NOT GIVEN AWAY FREE There are a number of people who are receiving the Defender each week and have been for the past year, each Saturday promptly, and strange to say after many promises to pay for what they get, they have all failed to recognize their promises. Quite a number whose homes we have visited we have been unable to see, they being out or gone to the matinee with visiting friends. With all this we have been patient. A host of our out-of-town subscribers have even forgotten that there is a toll to the paper and go regularly to the postoffice to get it and find it there waiting for them; and to you we also serve notice that, if we do not hear from either those in the city as well as those out of town by Thursday, the 26th, you need not look for the Defender at your number, for we are not giving away this paper. Mall your money and help us to keep the paper alive and give our young people employment.

HOME FOR BAD GIRLS St. Louis, Md., June 20—[Special] —The legislature has appropriated $130,000 for the building and equipment of a home for incorrigible girls of the race. The home is to be located at Tipton and $50,000 is appropriated for maintenance. A new $4,000 delicatessen store began business on May 21. It is the business of a well-known caterer. PAYS LARGE PROPERTY TAX. Cambridge, Mass., June 20.—[Special.]—Mr. Cahen, who was recently appointed by the mayor to revise the city charter, pays taxes on $300,000 worth of property. Safe and Sound. A weak man is well fortified against strength.—Waldo Baston. "The continuous and persistent association in the newspaper statements of John W. Worthington with the present affairs of the Home Security Savings Bank is wholly unwarranted by the facts in the case. The statement reputed to have been made by T. Shefey that he had deposited $1,500 with me when the bank first opened is false. Mr. Shefey never at any time had more than $200 in the bank. I think the books now show that he has $58.52 in the bank. "The statement reputed to have been made by A. F. Codozoe that he had deposited a small amount in the bank is wholly false, as Codozoe has never deposited one cent with the bank. As to the statement reputed to have been made by Alfonso Teller that only $10 had been paid on a check given his wife for $50, the statement is false, as the books of the bank will show that a check for $50, and I think another check for $15, have recently been paid. "The books of the bank have been at the disposal of the receiver for his inspection since his appointment, and his representative was so informed on Wednesday morning, the 18th, and advised as to where they could be found." "The outstanding liabilities of the bank are less than $3,000, and about $2,000 of this is the deposits of Neighbors & Thayer and Wm. D. Neighbors." RACE BANKS IN THE U. S.

Many Patents for Making Artificial Rubber Have Been Issued, but Price Still Remains the Same. It was announced a few weeks ago that a distinguished chemist of the Imperial Technical School of Moscow had solved the problem of making artificial rubber, and that he could sell the new product at about 14d a pound, according to Tit-Bits. Yet, in spite of this widely disseminated piece of news, the price of rubber remains pretty much the same. The reason may be found by examining the patent office records. During the last ten or twelve years nearly 300 patents for artificial rubber have been taken out. Substitutes have been made from petroleum, from coal tar, turpentine, peat, from nitrated linseed oil, and by treating cereals with hyalvin. The latter invention made a considerable sensation so long ago as 1900; yet, judging by the constantly increasing demand for the natural product, it has had little effect upon the real rubber market. The chemist, working in his laboratory can take any substance and analyze it—that is, break it up into its original constituents and tell you what they are, and how much of each element the substance in question is composed of. But when it comes to building up the original substance out of its prime constituents, there he is at sea. By dint of long and patient experiments, or perhaps by pure chance, he may succeed in reproducing some few natural products, but that is as far as he can go. Indigo dye took many years to synthesize. A German chemist accomplished it at last, but the curious discovery was made that, if blended with the natural product made from the indigo plant, the color produced was both more durable and brighter than that made by either dye alone. So artificial indigo has not yet ruined the indigo planter. At Delhi, the new capital of India, stands an ancient iron monument which, though exposed to all weathers, never rusts or decays. Yet it has no protective covering. Here is a secret which would be simply invaluable to the world, which has been discovered by some Indian artificer of old time and most unfortunately been lost. At a recent meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute Mr. Cushman said that we could face the future with complicacy if we could rediscover the secret. To shipowners alone it would mean a yearly saving of millions. Rust is the great enemy of the steel ship, and she has constantly to go into dock to have her hull coated with anticorrosive solution. A Little Learning is Dangerous. "A little learning is a dangerous thing," said Thomas J. Brennan, secretary of the Gaeliic society, in New York. "This is well understood by the sincere student of the difficult Gaeliic tongue. "I once knew a student of Gaeliic who attempted, during a visit to Scotland, to read the commandments in Gaeliic at a highland service. He read them through, but he was troubled by the look of astonishment that appeared on the faces of his highland congregation. "The Gaelic student understood this look of astonishment when he found that he had made the trifling mistake of leaving the word 'not' in every commandment in which it appears." Crime In Egypt Is Increasing Crime in Egypt is increasing. Crime in Egypt is on the increase. The annual report of the judicial audit, published recently, is couched in pessimistic terms. The official, Sir Malcolm Mellwahr, says that the ever-ascending scale of crimes is very discouraging to the judges and the police concerned in the repression of offences. It certainly looks as if the hygienic and up-to-date Egyptian prisons had few terrors to the criminal classes. Since 1897 juvenile crime has increased fourfold, and the reformatories can no longer accommodate the number of boys sent to them, in consequence of which they have to be drafted into the prisons. The growth of crime is most noticeable in Cairo. A Vertical Fall. A little Boston girl, about four or five years old, was enjoying a slide upon the sidewalk, when her heels flop up and she fell with great force upon the stones. A lady picked her up, and asked, kindly: "You poor little mite, how did you fall?" The tiny child looked up into her kind friend's face, and, with the tears streaming down her cheeks, sobbed: "Vertically, ma'am." A Better Guarantee. Some salesmen are equal to almost any emergency and do not spare the "other car" when occasion requires. "But the blank car is guaranteed for life," protested a prospective purchaser to a salesman of the sort. "Yes, I know it is," retorted the quick-witted salesman, "but our car is guaranteed for a whole year." It required several moments for the prospective purchaser to see the point.

In the parlor window of a small, unpretentious house, situated on an East side street of Manhattan, there appears a sign, which proclaims the occupant to be a "Doctor Skinner, Eye Specialist." There fell a morning—one immediately succeeding the night of a political association ball—on which the modest waiting-room of Doctor Skinner was crowded more than usual; for be it known the "doctor" is singularly adept in the treatment, or "fixing up," of black eyes. One of those in line was an underedized, ragged fellow, past middle age. Over one eye was tightly bound a handukerkhelf of screaming red, which, when his turn came, he removed to show Skinner an optic glassy and lusterless and considerable shot with blood. The East side expert, however, in view of the lowly, unmoneyed appearance of the patient, and the other probably better paying ones in waiting, gave the injured eye but a superficial glance and the owner a small bottle of "Doctor Skinner's Magic Fluid" for which he collected 50 cents—and, with a superior air, bowed the man to the door. A week perhaps had elapsed when one morning the little man, more ragged than ever, again made his appearance at the great doctor's office, complaining that the eye was no better and voiciferously demanding a stronger medicine. Skinner without much ado, quickly compounded a perparation, which he explained he was "sometimes forced to use in obstinate cases," and this time collecting a dollar, bowed the importunate caller out as before. The next morning came a violent The next morning came a violent ring at the doctor's bell. A grinning colored bay answering it admitted no other than the dejected-looking visitor of the two previous occasions, but accompanied this time by an elderly, well-dressed man who quietly but firmly demanded to see Dr. Skinner at once. There was something in the aspect of the men which boded no good for the eye specialist. The little man's face, or that of part it not hidden from view by the huge flaming handkerchief, was a veritable study of suppressed rage. The doctor soon sallied forth from his inner office. Noting that his callers were standing, he said in his bluntly polite way: "Sit down, sit down." Thanks, we'll stand," said the elderly man. Then he asked sharply: "You're Dr. Skinner, ain't you?" "That's my name, but—" "And you know this man here, don't you?" indicating the former patient. "You creamed him for an affection of the eye, didn't you?" asked the inquisitor. "Well, yes! I suppose I did—but, say, who the deuce nure you? I—" Drawing a card from his pocket, he handed it to the astonished Skinner, who read the words, "Leo Van Silke, Attorney-at-Law." "I don't understand," began the doctor, nervously humbling the card. "Don't suppose you do," replied Van Silke. "However, I'll tell you. My client here (this was said in a very lordly tone) is about to sue you for $5,000, that's all!" "Sue me," cried the eye specialist in surprised indignation. "Why me? pray? What are you driving at, anyway?" The words were no sooner out of his mouth than the little man tore the handkerchief from his head, and lifting a sunken enkei revealed beneath it a hole—a hideous cavity, half black, half red, where once an eye had been. "Burnt out! course you!" no roared in anguished fury. "Burnt out! That's what we're driven at." "A mighty serious business, I should say," commented the lawyer. "One moment." interposed the doctor, excited. "Why shouldn't we compromise this matter without notoriety? I'll give $300. I'm no millionaire, Mr. Van Slike." The lawyer eed him keenly. "You'll have to double that," he said. "And I will give you just one minute to go to your desk and make out a check." His tone was exasperatingly cool. There was nothing left for the specialist to do but obey the mandate, and within a few minutes the two unwelcome visitors left the place richer by $600. Said the astute Van Slike: "Say, Jim, I think the next touch we make ought to be in some town where we're not known. Then we'll be able to sue for twice as much. Ha, ha, ha!" Said the unsuspecting Skinner: "What an idiot I was not to examine the little monkey's eye when he first called!" Yet had the great man done so there would have been no story. The eye was glass! right, 1913, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Would Aid Sericulture. The judicious payment of bounties for fresh cocoons and spinning, and, above all, instruction in practical sericulture in elementary schools, as well as agricultural colleges, are today recommended as the most efficacious means of combating the decline of sericulture in France.

A week or so ago the youngest sis- A week or so ago the youngest sister changed her mind. "I wish," she said, "that you had gone to the Philipines, after all." gone to the Philippines, after all." The pet brother braced back pompously. He was not particularly glad to be told that his absence was desirable, but it was pleasant to know that his views had at last been embraced by one member of the family. "I knew," said he, "that you would come around to my way of thinking some time." But his satisfaction was short-lived. "Oh, I don't mean what you think I do!" his sister exclaimed. "If you were there you could send me such pretty oriental things to wear. Philippine relations are nice things to have. People who have them can be spotted by the clothes they wear. I know lots of women who, having hitherto suffered pangs of envy at sight of imported gowns worn by their friends, can now have revenge by sporting South Sea island linens and lawns of unique design. These fabrics may not be on a par with European importations so far as fineness of texture and finish go, but they have a tone of their own, and women who can boast several such dresses and blouses are in luck." The pet brother slammed the door in disgust. "It may be true," he said, "that a man's bump of affection is in his stomach, but it is equally true that a woman's patriotism is on her back!" Truthful James. A hostess, who was going to give a big dinner party, hired a page for that particular evening to help with the waiting, and duly impressed his duties upon him during the course of the afternoon. "Now, James," she said, "it will be your duty to hand round the wines, and you will begin with the sherry. There are two kinds of sherry, and the inferior kind is to be offered with the soup. Do you understand?" James duly mastered this and the other details of his work, and the banquet began. Presently the hostess signed to James, and that young man, seizing the decanter, began to make his rounds, saying in clear and penetrating tones as he approached each guest: "Inferior sherry. ma'am? Inferior sherry, sir?"—Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph. Man Arrested for Odd The Man Arrested for Odd Theft. A novelty in theft was recorded at Philadelphia, Pa., the other night, when a man named Johns was arrested in the act of stealing an alarm clock from the home of a woman named Murray. Johns, it appears, is a heavy sleeper—so heavy, in fact, that he cannot get up in the morning without aid. Many a good place his slumbers have cost him. Johns had planned to assume a new position shortly. So when he spied a perfectly good alarm clock in Mrs. Murray's front room, temptation overcame him. Calamity followed hard upon temptation, however, for just as he was making way with the clock its alarm went off and brought Mrs. Murray to the scene in time to witness the vanishing of her property. She called a policeman, and Johns was taken into custody. Big Mistake. Bluffers bounced into the club, jammed his hat down on a table with a fierce bang, and flung himself into an easy chair.

"Well, these old codgers have no business to be coming around courting young girls. I would have kicked him out myself." "Yes; but I have found out since that this man wasn't courting my daughter. He was after my mother-in-law." Why You Cannot Swim The nonswimmer, fearing the water, very naturally tenses his muscles as he struggles to keep his head above the water, until he is as hard as a rock, and like a rock he sinks; whereas the swimmer, having no fear, relaxes his muscles, and hence becomes buoyant. The explanation is a simple physical one. Tense, taut muscles increase the specific gravity of the body and make it sink in water; loose, relaxed muscles (given an ordinary supply of air in the lungs) will make the body float—Outing. The First "Deadheads" Very few are aware that the origin of the word "deadhead" takes us back to the theaters of Ancient Rome. R. H. Broadhead, in "A History of Pantomime," gives the following, realistic explanation. He says: "Persons were instructed to give applause with skill. The proficient hired themselves out to the poets, authors, etc., and were so disposed as to support a loud applause. The free admission tickets were small ivory death's heads, and specimens of these are to be seen in the Museum of Naples." Hustling Husband Ethel--Oh, Harry!

Celebrated Boscobel House and Oak Tree Where the Merry Monarch Retired, After the Battle of Worcester, to Be Sold. London. — The famous Boscobel house, with its estate of 700 acres, where King Charles II. of England hid after the battle of Worcester and where there still grows the historic oak tree in which he concealed himself, is to be sold at auction. Situated on the borders of Shropshire and Staffordshire, the house was built about the year 1540 in the center of Brewwood forest, and had been used for many years before King Charles' time as a hiding place for Roman Catholic priests and political refugees. But its principal interest is wrapped in the time when it sheltered King Charles in September, 1651, after the battle of Worcester. Here he lay hid for several days, and in the paddock adjoining, protected by iron palsisading, is the oak tree in which he took refuge when surprised by horsemen. It is said there is no doubt about this being the identical tree. The principal part of the house remains now as it was then, and in the garden is a curious mound surmounted by an arbor much as it was at the time of King Charles' solour. Prince Charles, the eldest son of King Charles I. of England, was nineteen at the time of his father's beheading by the victorious parliamentarians, in 1649. He was then at The Hague, and immediately assumed the title of king. The colony of Virginia in North America invited him to set up his kingdom among them, but, in 1650, the Scots offered him their crown, so he went to Scotland and was crowned at Scone in the beginning of 1651. After the defeat of the Scots at Dunbar he put himself at the head of their army of 10,000 men and dashed into England. But it was then that Cromwell put forth his supreme military genius and, with his ironsides, crushed the royal troops at Worcester. Charles knew that for the present all was lost. He showed courage and address in covering the flight of his beaten soldiers and afterwards turned his steps to Boscobel house, where he was assured of a secure retreat from the pursuing Roundheads. At White Ladles the king had his long hair cut, his hands and face smeared with soot; and for his royal dress he substituted the green and greasy suit of a countryman and a leathern double. He next endeavored to reach Wales, but on account of the vigilance of the Puritans was obliged to return to Boscobel wood. With Major Carls, who Boscobel House and Royal Oak. had led the forlorn hope at Worcester, he ascended a thick pollard oak, from which they watched at intervals during the day the Roundheads in search of them, passing by unaware of their near presence. In the evening they descended, and made their way to the manor house, where the king remained hidden two days. After many dangers Charles escaped to France, where he maintained a royal court, such as it was. He had little money, except what was provided by his devoted followers and his adherets in Great Britain and Ireland. He was content to wait. Time would fight for him mroc surely than infantry and horse. The old cavaliers who accompanied their master in exile were like Napoleon's veterans in Elba. With their tall, powerful forms, they stalked about the courtyards, longing grimly for the time when they could once more smell the pungent powder of the red field of war. But the change was coming. The English people were tiring of Puritanism and praying in secret for their king. So it came about that one morning in May, 1660, the king came into his own, landing at Dover and being escorted to London by frenzied, adoring crowds of his people. The Merry Monarch was at home again and, although that early popularity was at times strained, he never wholly lost the good will of his people. CHILD TUMBLES OVER CLIFF Baby Unharmed, Hangs Suspended by Her Clothes Until Rescued an Hour Later. Los Angeles, Cal.-Mrs. Willard Spruce of Altadena was in a state of collapse for a day as the result of an ordeal she suffered when her eleven-months-old daughter was thrown from an automobile over the edge of a precipice, only to be caught by a protruding limb where the child was held fast by her clothing until rescued an hour later by her father. Spruce noticed the baby swinging from a limb, and hurried to the home of a rancher and obtained aid. He descended on the end of a rope and disengaged the child's clothing. --- Could Not Balk Constable Farrell, Pa.—When Constable George Bird called at the home of "Big Annie" Long—weighting about 550 pounds—with a warrant charging disorderly conduct, he found her wearing only a broad smile.

Disappearing nround tho bend ‘below were the twin stacks of the Queen of the River. Yes, the Marcus Baldwin had been fairly beaten. To the passengers and crew this had been but a friendly race of boats, but to the captains it had meant infinitely more. ‘Three miles below this landing was the Chute ‘and the locks through which the steamers were lowered past ft. To the one first landing at Blank- ville, then, tt meant first reaching the city. a mile below, owing to the long delay at the locks. At the city a cer tain young lady had sald to these two young captains but a weei before that he who first arrived on tho re turn trip could marry her. Upstream there bad been no race at all, for the boats, belng passenger carriers, were booked to arrive and leave on schedule days. So of the down trip until that last day. ‘Then, with thelr destination within the hun: dred-mile mark and some halt dozen landings to make, {t had been touch and go; the Marcus Baldwin ahead at one landing, the Queen of the Riv- ‘er, by some turn of the wheel, at the next. ‘Then had come that last long stretch of some 20 miles, when the Marcus Ualdwin, ahead at the Inst landing, had been overtaken at the erucialj point by her rival and the dark featured De Witte had almost danced In his oxultation as his boat crept by the other, while Banks bad eaten bis soul out in autlen silence. ‘And now the race was as good as lost to him—and the girl. So, at least, he Teasoned, with the Queen of the River 8 good as in the locks, And he had given ‘up hope as, her freight aboard, the Ines of the Mar- cus Naldwin were cast off and she gathered way out into the stream. Yet, the very fact that she was again im motion fanned the dying spark. Was there no hope? Had he left no stone unturned? The Queen of the River's, engines might break down! What jf, her engmes disabled, tho freshet! current in the river should carry her through the Chute? Yet, boats ad gone through that safely. And| with this thought Captain Ranks jrrew of a sudden quite dizzy, for what had been done might be done again, hie reasoned. Ordinarily a good ten fedt of water ran in the Chute. With tho river at its present height he could fairly count on finding 16. For a width of 100 feet the Chuto was clear of rocks, and the water ran tn Kreat olly seas. Yes, 1t was possible, yet the risk! A wrecked steamer, lives lost, maybe! But when a man loves as Ranks did bo throws cost to tho wind, A quarter of an hour later the Mar cus Baldwin rounded tho bend above the Chute. Below her lay the locks. Halt way through these, Banks saw the tall stacks and upper structuro of the Queen of the River; a half hour and she would be through them. It needed but this to steady him in his growing resolve. “Wilson.” he said quietly to the pilot. “I will take the wheel now; you may go on bow." With a sixmile current hurrying her on and her engines foreing her through it at a 12knot clip, the Mar- cus Baldwin swept on. As she neared the Chute, Banks could see that the strong wind from the south had stir red this into a maclstrom of frothing waters. Yet, there was not time to turn now, even if he had so wished, On past the lock slip swept the steam- er. For a rioment it seemed she hesl- tated on the brink of the yawning Chute, passengers shrinking from her forward decks in horror. then she bowed majestically and plunged for ward. Before she had gone 100 yarda she sheered herself halfway across the channel, listing horribly the while. With the energy of despair Banks spun the wheel to meet her. Her bow rose for the mi@nent on a huge crested comber, and the rudder once more controlling. she shot back across the Chute, burying her stern to the lower deck and sending the spray clear over her. Again Banks met her erratic fight, but to have her zig-zag hack across the storming current thie time, missing the white hill ot a spray-drowned rock by the width of her sheer. ‘This could not last. Again she rose for the charge. In tho flash of a rlance anks saw the crowded decks of the rival steamer in the last of the locks as she drove by. Down plunged the bows of his own boat again, at an angle which neariy broached her, too, and in which passengers, crew and even captain thought her last mo- ment hid come in the shocking roar of waters and blinding spray. ‘Then she rose! slowly at first, and then an. a dog, shaking the water trom her,’ and swept into the calm water below the rapids. Far astern, hopelessly out of the race, Banks saw the Queen of tho River pulling out of the last of the locke. ‘And the captain's reward? | ’ . Mme. C. J. Walker's Wonderful Hair Grower MME. E. M.
