Jack Is One of That Host That John Couldn't Number. By Dr. M. A. Majors. Johnson is being persecuted flipping Jeffries. It is not cost-as much, however, as it cost it race. Besides, he is get-of fun out of it. Of course viewed from the point of in-ance. His conduct is not up to standard of the college man, rather it is in keeping with his reputation as a fighter, which be-come to the realm of sport—Mr. Jack Johnson, fighter, differs from all the ers fighters in the white race by color. Just Like White Men. The grand escapade, wine, women and song, do not functionate scandal ere there can be none, and no one the great fighters has ever boasted he wanted to teach a Sunday. Fighters are fighters, and it low at Reno. All kinds of sharpers began to whet their wits—fight promoters, theatrical managers, crooks, and silly money-hunting women. He found himself suddenly rich, surrounded by all the beauty of the gaudy gloss of earth in Paris, London, New York and Chicago. Surfetted by this passing show of the gilded and the great, he was oblivious of pitfalls and canning of the incarnate friends of graft and double dealing. Coming suddenly into possession of more than $150,000, it would seem to us at such distance down the paths of exciting needs that everything and everybody in the world is most glorious when one is loaded down with hundred-dollar bills. Jack Johnson is no fool. He has never yet merited such amazing pity as some of his friends are frail enough to suppose. He has never yet silent with both eyes shut. Let us admit that he has allowed some golden opportunities to go astray, and that much of his conduct seems to have created certain kinds of race strife. The writer knows that some good will result from Jack's championship. It has already whispered in the ears of every black boy that he can be the president of the United States fistle ring, and there is no congress or supreme court to impeach him. It has told every member of the fifteen millions of the negro race that the white people of the world, except France, China and Japan, don't like it. This will in three result in race unity. What if Jack Johnson must be crucified in order that his race may get sense enough to unite its forces in a thousand different avenues and channels of trade? Mayhap it is this very crucible of strife that is forging the negro through the white heat of hate that is to make for him solidarity and everything needful in the family of nations. Colored—What Nationality Are You? Jack married one or two white women. He did not dishonor them. How many congressmen, governors, judges and clergymen of the white race have consorted with colored women? From the present day appearance of four millions of negroes in America, hosts of whom God alone can only tell whether they are white or colored, there must be left very little loyalty among white men, and less confidence among white women in them. It is all very easy to imagine, and jump at conclusions and find fault. The only crime Jack Johnson has committed is in doing little things like big men. He has invited the envy of his own race and pricked the ever-growing abscess of American prejudice by spending his money like he had a plenty, and mixing somewhat with the big white sports, many of whom are sober, sensible, and possess but very little prejudice against a man for being what God made him. The spotlight is a fearful ordeal. It ran Roosevelt to Africa, Carnegie to Skibo castle, J. P. Morgan up and down the continents; it sent John D. Rockefeller and Archbishop into retirement; it put a queltus on Bob Lollette; and when it assumes a crimson hue, festooned by hate and envy, it can sour a good-natured creature with the entire world. Look what it did to Senators J. B. Foraker and William Lorimer. Then again, when some big black colossus knocks the point from the head of a huge Olympus, not only the spotlight becomes overworked, but the cruel searchlight in his private character is done with a prejudice and a frenzy that would make the angels weep. What imposing hero of our times can stand before a reading world in proud achievement when the very thing that made him a hero is both unpopular as to race and unpopular as to deed? No great white man dare face the calcium of truth with a beacon light of hate frowning upon everything he does to please himself. The Mann act is already asserting itself in a very unwholesome manner. It is becoming a boomerang. --- --- Fearless, NEST CHAMPION the People By Dr. M. A. Majors. Johnson is being persecuted lipping Jeffries. It is not cost as much, however, as it cost lite race. Besides, he is get of fun out of it. Of course viewed from the point of in- ce. His conduct is not up to standard of the college man. rather it is in keeping with his operation as a fighter, which be- loys to the realm of sport—Mr. Jack Johnson, fighter, differs from all the others fighters in the white race solely by color. Just Like White Men. The grand escapade, wine, women and song, do not functionate scandal where there can be none, and no one the great fighters has ever boasted we wanted to teach a Sunday. Fighters are fighters, and it be that they claim the bigger e of leading the life of convivial and moral unconcernedness. As citizen in court it is highly able that he could not get a trial. No white man who qualifies a juryman can consciously miss the fact that Jack conquered white race in the science of pugilah. This is too big a crown for negro to wear acceptably to the te race from which he in every way took it by knocking it off the d of Jim Jeffries. What Jack has he, however wrong it may appear, never been so magnified when the white sport absorbs the spotlight with a woman to whom the preacher has never uttered a sacred injunction in a marriage ceremony. Crucified for His Race. At first it would never do to exhibit the moving pictures, letting white children see as conquerer in fisticic science a big black Sampson. That would make the white children grow up with certain fear or dread of the colored boy. It is the negro boy that would have to fear the white boy. Jack did for his race what great nature did for him—reversed the lever if what the white man considered right. Next they must discredit him, since they failed to kill him at Reno. Jack Johnson has done no different rom any big rich sport, and he hasn't disgusted sport in any particular, unless it reproached him for marrying a pretty white woman who looks like any banker's wife robed in diamonds and dressed in the Parisian styles. Of course, no very sensible negro can envy him for suiting himself. Exercised His Right as a Man. To marry whom he pleases is a right guaranteed by the statutes of Illinois and a quite a number of northern state. The peculiar sentiment at all times sickly when the Caucasian will and pleasure is frustrated, is one of the phenomena of the times. It is no harm for the country to be flooded with mulattoes—children without legal fathers ranging over a period of three centuries—but it is a crime against nature for a negro to marry a white woman by her own consent. Then Jack lives in a mansion fit or any judge, governor or president. He rides in a $10,000 50-horsepower automobile, as fine as any to be seen on Michigan avenue. They don't like that, of course. He can afford it, and with his money he is not putting on. Hated and Beloved. From the negro's view, and from the white man's view, Jack is cutting or seems to be; but is he really? Jack's success in the world of le sport has made him a creature circumstances. He is to be both ad and beloved. His act of knocking the crown off Jim Jeffries' head him a peculiar place in the he. He is the hero at Reno—the error of the fistic god of the white fish, happening just upon the of America's great tidal wave prejudice, fringed all around of Robert Charles at New, the negro insurrection in where forty whiteappers were killed and killed, the Atlanta riot, airfield riot, the paralysis of man, cyclones, earthquakes, lions, floods of great rivers if hundreds of thousands of people, and other sad catastropheing to a sinful people incession. These, it seems, orcible sufficient to restore sed lord of creation to the misderation of fairness to Big Fellows' Target. Johnson immediately became when he beat the big fel The Chicago Defender.

Suffragettes in Chicago celebrated the passing of the Suffrage bill in the legislature, by having a big automobile parade Tuesday afternoon. The parade started from Grant Park and Peck Court and as a hundred or more gaily decorated automobiles wended their way along Michigan avenue and Grand boulevard bound for Washington park, conspicuous among the number were five large touring cars bearing the members and friends of the Alpha Suffrage Club. A truly representative gathoring of women was on hand at the hour appointed at the Reading Room, and from there they joined the rest of the procession at the starting point. They carried flags, banners and emblems and together with the elaborate costumes of the women, made quite a gala appearance. Those who manifested interest in the suffrage cause by taking part in this parade were Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett, president of the club and marshal on this occasion; Mesames Irene Goins and friend from St. Louis, M. E. Henderson, M. E. Jackson, T. C. Macon, J. E. Priestly, Thorning, Ida Lewis, Halifacre, R. S. Crawford, Martha White, Hyde C, Lana, Nora F. Taylor, Ed. Wright, Beatrice Miller, Simpson, Fanne Emanuel and niece, Mrs. Opie Wells, Mrs. Mills, Misses C. Davis, B. Hortson, and Laura Beasley. handed. Stand Jack Johnson up by the side of any of them and he need not suffer by disparagement. Most men with much money break their monotony of civilized beings and flee temporarily to semi-savagery. And were the truth known about them, confidence in humanity would suffer such a shock that our civilization would appear a hollow mockery, and decency would unhide her ugly scroll of personal ambition, and stagger back into the dark corridors of our age that put a premium upon harlotry and crime. Jack is a gentleman beside thousands of white men who will escape the horrors of the Mann act simply because white jurors and white courts will not prove as insidious in their prosecution as in the exercise of their hate to bring them to justice regardless of their race or color. DR. NAPIER IS GUEST OF HONOR. Dr. Alonza Napier of Nashville Ban queted by Dentists of Chicago— Dr. Bentley a Guest. Thursday evening, June 12th, the Dental Association of Chicago tendered a banquet to Dr. Napier of Nashville, Tennessee. The doctor is a lecturer on the faculty of Dentistry at Meharry Medical College. While the social spirit prevailed, yet dentists, like doctors, whenever they assemble avail themselves of the opportunity of exchanging ideas and opinions upon some scientific subject in the profession. Such discussions as were had upon this occasion are highly profitable. Dr. Charles E. Bentley was present and gave the men of his profession an address that was punctuated by evidence of his wide experience. Dr. Bentley leads the race in the profession of dentistry, just as Dr. Daniel H. Williams leads the race in medicine and surgery. Every one present showed signs of progress, and emphasized the fact that the man delved into obstructe theories and deal with the intricate phenomena around which science has networked itself into a phantasmagoria of beauty and splendor engaging the best thought of the century. The abscess of a pulp, while vague in its meaning to some, was familiar to others, elicited hearty discussion. Authors were cited to prove the condition while others contended that most authors' statements were a mass of conflicting opinions and errors. The abundance of proof that the race was capable in the profession was forcibly demonstrated by the readiness and ease of the great flow of eloquence from the lips of every speaker. "Meetings of this kind," said Dr. Napier, "are very rare among professional men of the race. I have witnessed a greater exhibition of scientific opinion based mostly, let me say upon actual practice, during these short moments of the social gathering of scientific men than ever falls to the lot of white dentists to witness. I thoroughly appreciate your invitation and the engaging subject and more than all. I enjoy the close fellow feeling which so radiantly manifests itself among you." Dr. Napier is a nephew of Hon. J. C. Napier our present register of the United States Treasury at Washington, D. C. He is a replica of Southern nobility, with all its aristocratic traits modulated and tended to perfect simplicity. He is possessed of the spirit of sacrifice and devotes his vacation to advancing himself in his field of dental research by matriculating to some one of the best dental schools that he might all the better reflect sound and advanced knowledge upon his class at Meharry Medical College through diffusing the student-body with all the up-to-date methods of practice in dentistry. Dr. A. C. Barnes, the president of the Dental Association, taking leave for his vacation at Wilberforce, where he is an officer of his Alumni, was also a recipient of much of the honor of the occasion. After being introduced by Dr. Theodore R. Mozee who paid a glowing tribute to Dr. Barnes' effort along all professional lines, emphasizing his hearty zeal and dignified methods in matters petaining to the welfare one of the dentists from the financial and business point of view. Dr. Mozee is himself a strong example of energy and determination. enjoys a lucrative practice and forges along the intellectual grooves of all that is modern and up-to-date in science, sanitation, electricity, oxygen and gas. In all there was thirteen dentists present and two physicians. The evening was taken up by the sober contemplation of dental science.

Slaughter, Appellee, vs. Eudora Johnson, Appellant In handing down the decision, Judges Emery C. Graves, James S. Baume, and Warren W. Duncan, say: "The 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th instructions given at the instance of the plaintiff (Slaughter) are subject to the criticism that they practically restrict defendant's proof in support of her plea of justification to the times above stated. If the record was otherwise free from the error, the amount awarded by the jury as damages is so grossly excessive, as to necessitate a reversal of the judgment.

Have Many Points of Superlority Which Must Be Taken Into Account When the Trumpets of War Are Sounded. The French army department has determined to have as many women aviators in its air battalions as it possibly can, says an English paper. For this purpose a special law will have to be passed making women eligible for army service. The fact is that the leaders of aviation in France have come to the conclusion that women make better aviators than men, and they are determined to encourage women filers in every possible way. Their first step has been to make Mile. Helene Dutrieu a chevalier of the Legion of Honor, a decoration that has been given to very few women. Among the experiments undertaken by the French authorities were a number dealing with the effects of height, speed, quickness of thought and action, and other essentials of flying. In these experiments both men and women took part, and, to the amazement of every one, it was found that the women were far better air pilots than their male competitors. First of all, women are more primitive than men. They are far less well developed mentally; and, though the man in the street may not think it, women are not so nervous as men. A woman is less liable, say the French scientists, to collapse in the higher altitudes of the air than a man. Her greater capacity for bearing pain, or rather her insensibility to pain, enables her to withstand the cold of the upper regions of the atmosphere—cold so intense that more than one aviator has lost control of his machine through it and been dashed to death. Another cause which makes a woman better at high altitudes is the fact that she needs less oxygen for breathing than men. She is, in consequence, less affected by the rarified air, a further proof of which fact is that quite a large number of women have earned the highest reputations for mountain climbing. The fifth statement in the report says: "The arc of a woman's vision is nearly twice that of a man." Put in ordinary language, this means that while a man only sees what is directly in front of him, a woman sees things at the side as well. A man's vision is concentrated, while a woman's is spread. This ability to see all round, as it were, is of the greatest possible importance in aviation. The airman does not want to see just ahead so much as each side and above him. The general look of things tells him the state of the atmosphere, and enables him to steer clear of dangerous eddies, currents, and so on. A woman, also, is not so concentrated in her thought as a man. The latter thinks of only one thing at a time, while a woman thinks of several things, and is able to deal with them all successfully. This faculty is called "diffused attention" by scientists, and is valuable in the air. Finally, the report to the French war office states that the woman's specific gravity is less. The highly-developed modern woman, however, is useless for driving an airplane, according to the scientists. It is her home-loving sister, who is not so highly concentrated, who has the power of "diffused attention," who will make the air-woman of the future. Elephant's Little Trick The almost human intelligence of the elephant was well exhibited by the school boy sort of a joke commonly played on visitors by the big fellow in the Jardin des Plantes at Paris. His house opened upon an enclosure containing a pond, in which he would lay himself under the water concealing every part except the very end of his trunk—a mere speck that would hardly be noticed by a stranger to the animal's habits. A crowd would often assemble round the enclosure, and, not seeing him in it, would watch in expectation that he would soon issue from the house; but while they were gazing about, a copious sprinkling of water would fall upon them, and ladies and gentlemen, with their fine bonnets and coats, would run for shelter under the trees, looking up at the clear sky, and wondering whence such a shower could come. Immediately afterward, however, they would see the elephant rising slowly from his bath, evincing, as it seemed, an awkward joy at the trick that he had played. In the course of time his amusement became generally known; and the moment the water began to rise from his trunk the spectators would take flight, at which he appeared exceedingly delighted, getting up as fast as he could to see the bustle he had caused. Eggs Best "Grouch" Cure Fish may make you brainy, but it's eggs that make you amiable, at least if we can believe the claims made for this particular article of food by a German scientist of note. "Cranka, grouches, nervous wrecks of all kinds, should eat all the eggs they can possibly digest," says Prof. Stiegietz. "Eggs are the best thing in the world for those whose ill tempers make themselves and every one around them uncomfortable. They should be soft boiled preferably and eaten four times a day for four weeks on a stretch. Then the diet should be stopped and not commenced again for four or even six weeks." And though no mention is made of whether. Eastern eggs in particular have any more healthful and cheerful effect than ordinary eggs taken at ordinary times, isn't it always true that "the better the day, the better the deed?" The athletes of ancient Greece trained on a diet of new cheese, figs and boiled grain. Their sole drink was warm water, and meat was never allowed them.

In 1866 the public health conditions of New York were in so low a state that the average length of life of the inhabitants was 40 years. In 1912 these conditions had been improved so that the average length of life was 66 years. Thus the value of human life, reckoned in terms of time alone, had more than doubled in less than half a century.—Century Magazine. Ancients' Idea Concerning Dreams. Plato, Aristotle and Clecero believed that dreams foretold future events if rightly interpreted. Artemidorus of Epresus, who lived about the middle of the second century, wrote books of elaborate rules telling how to interpret dreams.

THE IDEAL YOUNG MAN. By Rev. Lee Jefferson, Pastor of Hope Presbyterian Church. Jer. 5:1—"Seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man." The superior importance of our subject tonight mantles it with a solemnity and gravity which almost stakes us to handle it. The making of ideal young man might well engage the powers of an angel! What a piece of work is man! How easy in reason! How infinite in faces! crowning wonder of the earth. Half dust, half delft; alike amulet to sink or soar. Limited in nature, infinite in desires, an honest man is the noblest work of God. The highest manhood resides in disposition, not in mere intellect. And the superior man is he who develops in harmonious proportions his moral, intellectual and physical nature. And that which especially distinguishes a high order of man from a low order, that which constitutes human goodness, human greatness, human nobleness is self-forgetfulness, self-sacrifice, disregard of personal advantage, personal pleasure, remote or present, when some other line of conduct is more righteous. This permits us to say an ideal young man is not a "rowdy," but he is a discreet, quiet, considerate person, or, as the etymology indicates, he is a "gentle" man—not a "rough-house" man. He is gentle in everything that depends upon himself—gentle in temper, in carriage, in judgments, aims, desires. "To be a gentleman is to be honest, brave, wise, and possessing all those qualities and exercise them in the most graceful outward manner."—Thackeray. The ideal young man does not associate with lewd women and vile men and then expect to be received into the society of good people. Does not sow wild oats—it is to catch wild oats. He does not indulge in filth jesting, Gen. Grant's protest (but there are gentlemen here). Does not treat others' sisters and mothers as he would not like any man to deal or treat his mother or sister. The ideal young man has the courage of his conviction and will contend for the right, even though he stand alone. He is a Joseph amidst evil brethren, and against the assaults of lewdness. He dares to be a Daniel in the defense of his conscience, even though it gets him into the "fiery furnace" and the "den of lions." Remembering that truth and right have God and the moral universe on their side.-Rom. 8:31. The ideal young man is industrious. He is diligent in business—not a sluggard. Solomon warns against laziness, Prov. 5:6-8 “Consider her ways and be wise.” He also describes the results of laziness—Prov. 22:13-29. He is economical and provides for the “rainy day,” Prov. 22:29—He shall stand before kings. He does not spend as fast as he makes his money, or in other words, he doesn’t “blow it in with the gang.” He is not content to strut about like a peacock, and allow his old mother to wash her “gizzard” to keep him clothed and fed, nor does he let some fool of a soft woman support him, just in order that she may hold his ignoble friendship, “human leeches,” “human vamies.” There is no one thing that will wreck a young man, ruin his prospects for life sooner than indulence or laziness. Nobody wants to aid a man who has a reputation for always being shiftless and lazy. A lazy youth will be a lazy man, just as certain as a rooked sapling makes a crooked tree. It grows insidiously upon a person; begins in cobwebs and ends in iron chains. Idleness travels very leisurely ud is soon overtaken by poverty. If u would be a "nobody" just wait to "somebody." The ideal young man does not wait for something to turn up, but seizes hold of the first opportunity and turns up something. The model young man is something more than the doing of good things; it is something greater than we doing of even great things. It is what God wants us to be. It is withfulness to the, the God-given duty; ding the Divine outline. It is to possess a Christian character. This character is your indestructible entity, from which flow streams of conscious influence, connecting you with all ages and all creatures in the moral universe. This is the one imperishable monument to your earthly probation. It is the one heritage to which we are all heirs; the only legacy which you shall leave to succeeding generations, and the only treasure that we must carry with us into eternity, without which even kings are poor and with't even beggars are rich. Thorefore, said Jesus Christ to the 22 The duke is who is seen quite often when a white trousers? R. I. please decide.

And the valedictory says: "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter; Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man." Ecc. 12:12.

Belief in the prophetic power of dreams has run ring around a rosy. Men formerly thought dreams foretold future events, dreams gave good advice for the regulation of one's future dreams. Then, as we grew lost articles, we told them more sophisticated we regarded dream omens as mere superstition. Lately some of the closest investigators of dreams have begun to switch to the former opinion. Varied Weights In Use Gems, the most precious of earth's productions, have been weighed from time immemorial with uncertain and varying weights. The first gem weights of which we have records were seeds of uniform size from the fruit of the Kuara or coral tree and from the fruit of the carob or locust tree, which were used in Africa for weighing gold and later in the east for weighing diamonds. Little Emily's mother had gone shopping. Upon returning she brought home to Emily a pair of pink socks fashionable for smart children in summer. That evening some ladies left upon her mother. Emily left the room, and a short while after the three-year-old returned with her socks on. "Look!" she exclaimed to the visitors, "mother bought me a pair of low-neck stockings." Wonderful "Water Vine" One of the wonders of the Guatemala jungle is the "water vine," a black, snakelike, leafless stem, dropping from the ceiba and mahogany trees to which it has climbed. It is said to contain a quart of water to every foot. When the stem is cut the water spurts forth in a refreshing stream. Moisture is drawn up from the soil, and filtered through the pores of the plant. There Lax the Worry. "I say, Sambo," asked a man of an improvident negro who had lost a job for the third or fourth time, "aren't you worried over the question of wherewithal to support you?" "Lordy, Marse Henry," was the reply. "I ain't worryin'." "bout wherewithal, Ise worryin'" "bout de wherefore fur de herein." One of the recent definitions of the pessimist and the optimist is, the pessimist is the man who sits in the last seat of the rear car of the train and sees everything apparently going from him, and the optimist sits on the front of the engine—on the cowcatcher—and sees everything coming his way.

TERRY-LAWRENCE. Good Description. Optimist and Pessimist Overheard. three ye most dangerous recourse o of cocaine, morphine and o The use of heroin was not coiled to the underworld. The drug spread its ten-tacles until they were fastened upon all walks of life. Users of the drug "shift it" and the effect is as rapid as cocaine. The natural form of the drug is pure white crystals, but it is frequently sold in tablet and powder form. Chemically, it is known as heroin hydrochloride. It is the hydrochloride ester of morphine. An ester is a wholly organic compound produced by the action of various acids. Its crystals resemble those of sugar rather than those of chalk. In medicine it is used to produce sleep. It has frequently been prescribed as a sedative suitable for people constitutionally unfitted for morphine. Like morphine, heroin first excites and in a measure exhilarates. That stage is succeeded by one of sleep and then by profound depression. There is always a danger of an overdose. Morphine users can increase the dose as their system craves the drug. Users of cocaine can saturate their systems with cocaine. Not so with heroin. There is always danger that If the dose is increased day by day, death will follow quickly. In its outward effect on the victim, heroin has much the same effect as its mother, morphine. The face of the user becomes drawn and sallow and the pupils of the eyes are reduced to the size of pinheads. Cocaine, on the contrary, flushes the face and gives the eyes a glassy effect. Heroln sets about the wrecking of the mind and body with flendish persistence and cruelty. The character and will power of the user is broken; the laminatination becomes distorted and the victim is soon ripe for any crime. The bodily tissues waste away and vitality sinks to a low ebb. The craving for the drug soon becomes more powerful and insistent than the craving for morphine, cocaine or opium. He Has Thirty Children. At St. German du Bols, Paris, there lives a man, Jean-Pierre Rossou, who has been the father of 30 children. He lives in a miserable thatched cottage which he built himself of mud and wood. It is now a crazy affair, and sways in the wind and leaks when it rains. It contains one room only, and it is in this room that he has brought up his family. Of the first marriage there were 17 boys and one girl, by his second wife he became the father of seven more boys and five girls. Today there are only ten living. The children have frequently slept, to the number of seven or eight, in the same room with their parents, on a bed composed of four planks. Their father is now seventy-one, and of a very cheerful disposition. His wages have never exceeded 75 per week, which he earns by cultivating vegetables. The state makes him a payment of ten francs a year per child for having raised a family of more than three children up to the age of sixteen. His brother Claude has also been married twice, and has a family of 23. Naming a Japanese Baby. Often the naming of a Japanese baby is a simple matter, the father or grandfather speaking before the company the name of some famous man. if the child is a boy, or of some favorite flower, if it is a girl. For girls, Hana, flower; Yuki, snow, AI, love, are the favorites of parents with a poetical strain. The sterner country folk choose for their daughters, Matsu, pine; Take, bamboo (the bamboo joints are exact; hence the exactness of virtue); Uma, plum, since the plum bears both cold and snow bravely. For boys, Ichiro, first boy; Toshi, smart; Iwao, strong, and Isaum, brave, are very popular. Where belief is strong in the power of a name, the family, in holiday dress, often assembles in a large room. Each writes a name upon a slip of paper and lays it reverently before the house shrine. From the group a very young child is chosen and led before this shrine, and the fate of the name is decided by the small hand which reaches out for a slip. Though it is a festive occasion, the selection of a name is made with a seriousness worthy the election of a bishop. Many believe devoutly that this rite influences the baby's entire future, and therefore the one whose slip is chosen incurs from the moment of choice great responsibility for the child's welfare. Leverian Museum Sir William Lever's presentation of Stafford house to the nation to be the permanent home of the London museum reminds us that there was once a museum in London called the Leverian museum. This was the collection of Sir Ashton Lever, which he exhibited in 1774 at Lecester house, Lecester square. He filled 16 rooms and various passages and staircases with his curiosities, which consisted of stuffed birds, all kinds of natural objects, savage costumes and weapons and advertised that they were to be seen each day from 10 to 4, "admittance 5s 3d each person." He eventually disposed of his collection by lottery, the lucky winner being a Mr. James Parkinson, who exhibited it at the Rotunda, near Brackflairs' bridge, where it was one of the sights of the town until 1806, when it was disposed of by auction in 7,879 lots and dispersed far and wide.-London Chronicle. New Explosive Beats Dynamite. Important results are expected of the remarkable discovery by a professor of the College de France, of a new explosive, ten times more powerful than dynamite, which has just been made public at Loreau. It gets its force from the liquefaction of gases. Darsonville, as it probably will be called, consists simply of a mixture of lampblack and liquid gas. Experiments made with it in quarries near Paris are said to have given perfectly satisfactory results. or of phy step. In all series of lectures on us at the City of London school. A grim romance hung over the very word "arsenic" he said, and it had been associated with cruel tragedies in olden as well as in our own times. Oplum was the favorite drug of suicides and arsenic of murderers. The reason in the case of the suicide was probably because oplum was less painful and more rapid in its effect than arsenic. In almost every instance arsenic had been the agent employed by those human fiends who, having successfully disposed of one victim without arousing suspicion, appeared to develop a lust for murder, which was not satisfied until the very number of their victims stood as overwhelming evidence against them. The lecturer referred to the case of the Marchioness de Brinvilliers, who lived in the time of Louis XIV, and studied the effects of arsenical poisoning by giving poisoned sweets to the poor in the hospitals. She afterward poisoned her father and two brothers. Another woman at the beginning of the eighteenth century poisoned more than 600 persons, while a third in more modern times disposed of 15, including her three children, two husbands, and an intended third. Henrietta Robinson was convicted in 1888 of the murder of her son by arsenic, and when the bodies of eight other members of her family and servants were exhumed the same poison was found in all of them but two. Twenty-four cases of poison by means of fly nans were recorded. Homicidal poisoning by arsenic was declining to a great extent owing to the rigid restrictions imposed on the sale of poisons and the publicity in the newspapers of murder cases. Such publicity gave a person of criminal tendency a wholesale fear of detection and a sense of insecurity in the face of the growing science of toxicology, which was bringing to the light of positive knowledge that which in the past could only be a matter of conjecture or suspicion. In an earlier part of the lecture Dr. Sandwith referred to the beneficial effects of the three modern arsenical remedies--atoxyl, seamin, and salvarsan. Right Living for Health Physical ailments ordinarily are due to some previous misuse of the bodily or mental equipment. The law of compensation works by inflicting diseased conditions on one who does not live right, who fails to obey the rules of health, of sanitation and similar means for preventing sickness. Because conservation of the human race has become an important consideration, the remarks of a writer in Health Culture on this subject are pertinent. "The science of prevention has already reached a stage with many persons where they are in control of their habits and appetites, 30 or 40 years in advance of the age at which their parents or grandparents died of Bright's disease, hardening of the arteries, apoplexy, diabetes, cancer, etc., in order to prevent themselves from being overtaken by these diseases at the same age, prevention being based upon the tendency of children to inherit the habits of their parents. "Instead of people waiting until after they are sick for doctors to doze them with drugs, many are living in the open air, eating better food and employing their brains to secure health, efficiency and long life. "Carrying the idea of prevention and conservation still farther, many alert parents are beginning to rear their children from babyhood in habits, both mental and physical in character with which to overcome the conditions that caused disease and death among their ancestors." Bootmaker's Complaint "Do you know why American men's feet always look ugly?" said a bootmaker. "No? Well, then, I'll tell you. "American men's feet look ugly because they have their shoes polished while wearing them—an iniquitous practice followed nowhere else in the world. "Everywhere else men on retiring slip trees into their shoes and set the shoes outside their bedroom doors. A servant takes them and polishes them, and after the dampness of their polishing they rest for some hours in the tree, and this does to them what a hot iron does to a suit of clothes—it presses them, so to speak, taking out all the ugly bumps and wrinkles, making them like new. "But we Americans drop into an armchair on a high brass stand. Our shoes are polished on our feet. The ugly lines of wear instead of being moved by the process are confirmed, by the process that is why our feet always look ugly. Our clothes would look if we never sent them to the tailor to be pressed." Devoted Honey Bees An availist has been engaged to evict from between the walls of the First Congregational church of Montclair, N. J., a colony comprising thousands of Italian honey bees. It is believed that there is at least a ton of honey packed away in the walls of the south end of the church. The bees were first noticed about the church, several years ago. They gradually increased in numbers until their presence became annoying, and it is on record that more than one somnolent attendant, at the services in the church, which sheltered one of the wealthiest congregations in New Jersey, has been raised to a proper state of attention, if not of reverence, by the sharp sting of an insect that had detached itself from the ever growing colony. It is planned to use a chemical compound to exterminate the bees. As We Sav. "What's coming off here?" "Nothing important.

He's been up to Buck County Fair for a day. So likely he's somehin' perticular to say." Bill rose, cleared his throat as he kicked back the chair. And put on that—I'm so surprised—kind of air. Then talked on this subject for fully an hour, "Is milk to feed hogs with the best sweet or sour?" And we have been longing for warm weather too. It was an unusually sane Fourth, keep the good work up. A lesson in subtraction: How many fingers have you left since the 4th? What has happened to our old friend Gov. please? He hasn't put his foot in it for about a month. It might be a little consolation to know that snow fell in Utah a few days ago and overcoats were in order. Special—"Traveling in hot weather has its disadvantage and by the same token its advantages."—J. J.—P. S. See daily papers. One reason given why married men go joy riding with other men's wives is that they do not want to endanger their own wives' life. Now is the summer of our discontent, when poor relations and visitors from all parts of the country pour in upon us and eat us out of house and home. What to do with the children now that school is out, is worrying many mothers. There is but one thing to do, let them romp and play till their hearts content, they have earned their vacation, besides you are only young once. Prof. Nagal of Waseda University keeps driving home the truth, "God made the white and colored people equal. Unless we claim equality we shall fall to carry out God's wishes." The weaker may be absolutely right in their claims, but until they become powerful enough to force their claims little heed is paid to them, there is comfort in the thought that every race will get an inning. --- REPRESENTATION ON BOARD OF HEALTH. The day is not far distant when the city officials will see the necessity of appointing colored physicians of the board of health, their familiarity with the conditions in which their people live makes them eminently fitted for the task, the unsanitary conditions and infectious diseases seriously seepardize the health of the community. There can be no question of com- come a newspaper or inciting article than appeared in the Chicago Examiner of recent date. A certain judge was disposed to see that a colored man received fair play after he had married a poor white girl, and the Examiner commented in the following style: "If it had occurred in some other parts of this country there would have been a tragic last chapter, but we are a law abiding people and though our indignation flares just as hot as does the indignation of our fellow citizens of the South, we are willing to leave our revenges to the law. When the law betrays us what are we to do?" One could scarcely believe this of a Northern paper; there is but one meaning to be deducted, "what are we to do?" Presumably what they would do in Vardaman's state-lynch and burn him at the stake. It is a burning shame that the Negro should be made a pawn in the white man's political game. The judge in question is a fair and square man and because he cannot be used as a political tool by the politicians hiding behind the skirts of yellow journalism they drag the Negro in and attempt to stir up race prejudice in order to discredit a clean man. Members of the race should remember a paper who throws principle to the winds to gain a political end. The delegates of Chicago division and jurisdiction, who have attended the Rosebud Convention of the Western Grand Division, in East St. Louis, III, and spent several days in St. Louis proper, have returned to Chicago, speaking in the highest terms of the splendid work which has been accomplished by the Rosebud department of the Grand Fountain, since its last annual meeting. Many delegates from Chicago and other suburban towns of Illinois were elected to office. We notice among the Advisory Board of Managers, the names of Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, the pastor of St. Paul's Chapel in St. Louis Division. The True Reformers of Chicago and Illinois, have launched a move for a large delegation to go to Richmond, Va., on the 21st day of September to the thirty-third annual session of the Grand Fountain. Chief M. T. Bailey contends that Illinois must stand at the head of the list, and says that special arrangements will be made with the railway companies, in order to take them to Richmond by way of Washington, so the delegates and their friends may be permitted to see the national capital. Mr. Floyd Ross, grand master, who was expected in Chicago, had to leave at the close of the convention for Pittsburgh and other eastern cities, on important matter for the Grand Fountain. Some of those who attended the convention in East St. Louis are: Mr. Z. T. Green, Mesdames, Ella Harvey, Isabelle Hart, Annie Ellorthington, Lou Ella Young, president, and Miss Helen Tives. The next convention will convene with Chicago Division in April, 1914. We offer in evidence an editorial published in the Chicago Inter Ocean June 25 to show that there are some differences of opinion concerning the guilt or innocence of Jack Johnson—at least a shallow anxiety on the one hand to let Mr. Johnson suffer international outlawry by being returned from Canada, while the able editor of the Inter Ocean strongly rebukes the government official for his great littleness of heart. It says: Mr. De Woody's Excess of Zeal. "With all respect to Charles F. De Woody's undoubted abilities and services as a federal detective, he appears to most thinking and sober-minded citizens to be exhibiting a decided excess of zeal in the alarms he is raising over the departure of 'Jack' Johnson for Canada and possibly Russia. "Johnson is, of course, the Negro prizefighter who has been convicted of violating the Mann act. He has appealed from the jury's verdict and has been released on $15,000 bond pending the hearing of his appeal by the higher court in November next. "Mr. De Woody is raising an outcry over Johnson's leaving the United States and is exerting himself to move the Canadian police to arrest him and send him back. The Canadian government may use that power. It is a general power of any government to put out of its country 'undesirable aliens.' That power is sometimes used where there is no extradition treaty, as a matter of international courtesy. It was so used by Spain in the case of 'Boss' Tweed. "But there seems little reason why the Canadian government should be moved to exercise that power in Johnson's case, and many reasons why it should not. The court of first instance has found Johnson guilty of a statutory crime, but its decision is not final. There is, we think, a general public desire that Johnson be suppressed, not so much as a criminal but rather as a nuisance and a social menace. "In view of the facts there seems little of public benefit in pursuing Johnson to the ends of the earth, or even across the Canadian border. Most people hereabouts would be better pleased to have him in Canada or Russia, or anywhere that his sobesity is desired, than in the penitentiary. That is the fact which makes Mr. De Woody's zeal 'uncalled for and excessive.' While the Inter Ocean pays Mr. Johnson not the least minimum of praise, and neither suggests mercy where something-like it would warm a human heart, yet Mr. Kohlsaat, the great editor of the Inter Ocean, believes in right, justice and law. He does not allow his noble heart to be traduced by enmeshed and cankerous prejudice that so entangles the great There has been a great hue and cry against what is termed "smut songs" and we are thoroughly in sympathy with the movement to crush them out, but we have a song in mind that is really a pathetic little ballad, entitled "When Jack Comes Marching Home," that we would like to present with our compliments to Mr. Charles F. DeWoody, local agent of the department of justice. We are doing this as a last request of the world's champion who is now sojourning in the old country. Perhaps one of the reasons why the colored chauffeurs are fast disappearing in New York City, is that many of them abuse the trust imposed on them by the car owners by "joy riding" after hours and meeting as frequently happens with serious accidents for which the owner of the car must pay. We are sorry to say we have many such types here in Chicago and the same thing is being enacted. To be the right sort of a chauffeur one must have mechanical skill and brains, we are sorry to say we find many who possess only the former requisite. A GREAT NATION. Up to date they have not found a colored brother in the wood pile of Congressional exposures, but in the vernacular of the street, "we'd better touch wood." It will be remembered when Peyton reached the North Pole were there, too. At the battle of San Junn Hill we were right up where they had to push us aside if they wanted to get by. We had some valuable Standard Oil papers in our inside pocket that several interested persons tried to relieve us of and we are not real sure when the final count is in that our name won't be written somewhere on the pages. As the old man said after witnessing a crew of Negro sailors throw a white man into the water, "My, what a nation we is." LOYALTY. Never before have the citizens of Chicago made such preparations for the reception and entertainment of one of their citizens who has achieved a world-wide reputation in the musical field and reflected so much credit on his home town. Prof. N. Clark Smith, who comes back to us at the head of the famous Tuskegee Band, richly deserves the honors that loyal citizens of Chicago will bestow upon him when he arrives here July 17, at the Seventh Regiment Armory. In another column will be found a partial list of enthusiastic admirers of this great handmaster. The Defender is always glad to herald the achievements of any member of the race and we take especial pride in Proc. Smith as he is a Chicagoan and represents us in the true Chicago fashion. DID DR. DU3O1S SAY THIS? The Oakland, Cal. Tribune credits Dr. William E. B. DuBois with saying, "The colored race of to-day is, in reality, in a majority of instances, in a state of degradation lower than it was forty years ago. Most of our people have assumed a complacent attitude." To say the least this comes as a streak of lightning from a clear sky. The whole world save the learned doctor, has commented on the unprecedented forward strides the race has made in the past fifty years, and every state in the union where there are a goodly number of the race, celebrations have been held or are being held where tangible evidences are shown of our progress. Admitted that we have done nothing especial to be puffed up over, encouragement and not discouragement will tend to make us strive for higher and greater things. Dr. DuBois is a scholar and a student and doubtless knows where of he speaks, but we seriously doubt that he made the above statements. CONSIDERATE. A little sample of what we must do in order to please a certain class is shown in an article written for the Kansas City Star by a "Broad minded?" reader, "Some colored people seem to be constantly antagonistic towards white people and do many things to annoy them, while others have a great deal of consideration, frequently I have seen both colored men and women stand for blocks rather than risk offending a white person by sitting by them. They should be given credit for things of that kind." Now, gentle reader, you see what is expected of you. Of course if you just won't be considerate and try to act like you were human beings with all the rights and privileges accorded anyone else, you must not expect "credit" from this fair lady or any of her lik. To be strictly logical she might have gone a step farther and suggested or rather requested they have the exclusive use of the sidewalks, plenty of room in the street for these considerate? people along with the other animals, you know. We are glad to say that very little of that humble, patronizing blood runs through the Negroes of Chicago. DANGERS OF THE "STROLL" Attention has been called to the way the young girls parade up and down State street from early evening till far into the night. It is a sham and a disgrace for mothers and fathers to allow their daughters to go uncompanied where pitfalls seem at every step. Girls from fourteen years of age on, are nightly to be seen standing on the corners or frequenting cafes where ralbidity holds high carnival. The police have instructions to look into this matter and it would be well for these misguided offenders to take warning while it is yet time, as they might wake up some fine morning in a police cell and ex- THE TRUE REFORMERS JACK JOHNSON. It says: Mr. De Woody's Excess of Zeal. thousands of public o. are ever, knee bent to a public senti sent that would lynch a negro for a slight misdemeanor. Of course Mr. De Woody wrote that he had severe reprimand for going to sleep on the Johnson affair, and on suddenly awakening discovered that Johnson was beyond his legal reach. YOU MUST MAKE A SACRIFICE. Emigration is one of the present day evidences of dissatisfaction and industrial unrest. Foreigners are flocking to America annually by the hundreds of thousands and going out over the wide and extensive plains where coyote, prairie dog and creeping things for centuries have held sway. These nationalities go far away from railroads, and build dugouts, huts, in tents or wagons for a short season while clearing land (and planting are going on; then later they begin to gather their first crop, the land they take up belongs the New York State was by his toll of 250 years that made this land habitable. These foreigners build towns raise cattle, market farm products and grow rich. In time the railroads build a spur out to their little sleepy hollow because their products add to the wealth of the country. The educated Negro is making a fearful mistake in crowding to the cities. Our people should first see to it that if there is any "free doings" of a land nature that in common with all the best of human wants "forty acres and a mule" are not to be despised by a frugal and trustworthy people. The schools and colleges are turning out year after-year thousands of men and women who are to become our captains of industry and toll. It takes only a short short years of a beginner's life to win back from nature all that man has cheated him out of in appeal to earth's riches and fulness through industry, economy and sacrifice. Sacrifice is a cardinal principle nowadays. Of course you won't have any need of fine clothes, long feathers and big looking glasses to see yourself in. But listen: After you have tickled the earth for a few years and she has yielded abundantly resultant from your painstaking and sacrifice for a short season, you won't need to sacrifice any more, because you will be rich with money, land and cattle that increase in value and constant yield. Then you can look at yourself in a looking glass and wear tailor-made clothes, handsome gowns, long feathers and all that. You can go to see the great big world you live in and be regarded as somebody and be known by some other persons than your landlord and your insurance collector. A won't-work race is a can'tlive race. A don't-want-any people are unsafe to live among. Educated Negroes, take the great key you received on commencement day, go out into the world, and, finding it a wilderness, unlock her treasure and take abundantly, but you must sacrifice just a little while. This free land should be taken advantage of. The young men should be up and doing. Opportunity only knocks at your door once. Traveling Bed for Baby. Traveling with a tiny baby will be made much easier by fitting a small hair mattress into a suit case. The one used in a baby carriage will do. It will be very comfortable for the baby to lie on whenever the suit case could be opened. Tie a large camcich pocket in the cover to contain all the clothes and small things to be used for the baby on the journey. When not in use the case may be closed and easily put out of the way. Ancient Time-Telling Method The invention of the sun dial is attributed to a Grectan astromer who died about 547 B. C. The dial was followed by the hourglass and this by the water clock, which marked time by the escape of water through an orifice. These were introduced into Rome about 158 B. C., but are believed to have been in use in Chaldea and Egypt for a hundred years previous to that date. Have Learned Nothing of Dreams. Dr. W. E. Scripture of New York says that ambidextrous persons never dream, while righthanded persons dream with the right hemispheres of the brain, because they use the left brain lobe for conscious thinking. Comparatively speaking, he said, modern scientists know as little about dreams as man did when the first sleeper had his first dream. Gauls First to Shoe Houses Gauls First to Snow Horses. It is not known who were the first horseshoers, but historians declare that the Gauls before the Christian era were the first to apply artificial protection of the hoof. The art was first introduced into England by William the Conqueror, who lived during the years 1027-1087.—Horseshoer's Journal. in Boston. "Look here, waiter," began the chronic grumbler, "there's no meat in this sandwich." "Then why do you call it a sandwich?" replied the learned waiter. "I am surprised that a gentleman of your erudition should commit such a solemnism in rhetoric."

A man named Bours has been arrested at Venice, Cal, charged with shaving the head of his bride in a fit of jealous rage to make her look unattractive in the eyes of other men. The bride, who is only seventeen, and much younger than her husband, complained that he overpowered her, clipped her tresses close, and then applied lather and razor until her head "looked like a billiard ball." Worth Framing. Here is a "character" given to a servant on leaving her last situation: "The bearer has been in my house a year, less 11 months. During this time she has shown herself diligent at the house door, frugal in work, mindful of herself, prompt in excuses, friendly towards men, faithful to her lovers, and honest when everything was out of the way."—London Tit-Bits. Picked Up in Colorado Some years ago in a western mining town a man was found dead in his hotel room, hanged to a bedpost by his suspenders.

Kind That Goes Astray A dispatch from Pottsville, Pa., says that a letter mailed 52 years ago has just reached its destination in that city.

It Seemed to Her. A peddler with horse and wagon was going through our street. The peddler was loudly calling his wares, while nobody seemed to pay any attention to him.

Harsh Tone Brings Answe **TIPS ANSWER.** In questioning a woman who talks in his sleep it has been found that a harsh or commanding tone brings a more immediate result. If you wish to learn the amount of your wife's millinery bill, speak sharply to her while she is muttering in her sleep and she probably will answer. An Exception. "That young man has an honest face." "Yet I have caught him stealing glances at your daughter." The various things which affect one with a sense of loneliness will probably always differ so long as there are differing types of humanity and diverse conditions of life. What is desolation for one easily proves delight for another, and where one sort of person will be filled with intolerable loneliness another will rejoice at the quiet, or the tumult, or whatever is the order of events. Many people can appreciate the feelings of Christopher Harding, factor of the Hudson's Bay company, who returns to his isolated post in northern Canada after a year spent abroad in the centers of population, when he says: "In all my life I never felt so lonely as when a few months ago I stood for a hour on London bridge and watched the sunset over the sands of people hurrying by. Never in the depths of the wilderness did I feel so much alone as when in that vast strong I realized that there was not a soul who knew or cared about me. That was real loneliness." But to many others the depths of the forest and the remoteness from civilization would be as polignantly oppressive. And to still others the sense of isolation in either case might not prove disheartening or appalling. It is a matter of personal and individual adjustment. Some of us seem constituted to observe, to form spectators, to delight in the sense of a near-remoteness to the crowd, or in the interests and aspect of thousands or to find a corresponding pleasure in the vast sweep of distances and the silence and call of the wilderness. The isolation either of crowds or desert is capable of a fine stimulant for the one who has learned the secret of escaping from loneliness by lending 'himself sympathetically to the fullness of life as it flows on about him. To Dickens, scribbling his reporter's notes in the rain and fog and glimmering lights of London, the strange-freed crowd, the myriad types of human nature, as observed but not observing, meant an exultant and often plying faith in the world of humanity, and a full and abounding sense of life and contrast and color and drab but meaningful tragedy. Being alone, or at least lonely, depends in a great measure on the individual and his lack of capacity for making the most of the conditions about him. Easier to Be Good or Bad? Is it easier to be good than to be bad? It has occurred to an eminent minister to assert that it is. And he is quite right. Indeed, it is strange that the world has not found it out, and become sinless. Much—everything—conspires in favor of being good. The first thirst for applause, the desire to strut with inflated chest, the memory of virtue's rewards previously enjoyed—all these drag the helpless victim into the meshes of goodness. The wonder is that sin does not become extinct, like those functions of the body which were used before simians stopped climbing trees and became men. Really, isn't it a wonder that after innumerable years of experience with the inevitable penalties of badness and with the highly desirable rewards of goodness people will go on misbehaving themselves? Pious or pagan, the facts are obvious to all, and a well-developed business sense ought to be enough to make everybody virtuous. For virtue fits in with the way the world is built. The pagan would say that virtue is virtue because it does fit, and that vice is vice because it doesn't. The pious would say that virtue fits because it is virtue, and that vice does not fit because it is vice. But pious or pagan, we all admit that virtue fits and that vice does not; and then we all alike try to make vice fit when we know it won't. This is the great business era of the world's history. But we are as slow today as we learn the greatest business principle ever known to the world—that virtue is easier to practice than vice, and that virtue is all profit and vice all loss—Syracuse Journal. ( plan Base of Classes in B Burglar-Proof Glass in Paris. Great strides have been made in France these last few months in the use of burglar-proof glass. Its discovery was due to its tremendous need, for Paris, of all cities in the world, seemed to be most at the mercy of that particular form of highwayman who frequents the boulevards at night, breaks the windows of jewelry stores and makes away promptly with the valuables. It is claimed that this burglar-proof glass is made by a secret process, though, of course, it is admitted that its thickness is one of its first essentials. It is from one-half to an inch thick and is able to resist a hard blow, aimed by a strong man, from a 15-pound iron handle. Ordinary glass would have been shattered by a bloom less than one-tenth as heavy. Much is expected from this invention in the near future.

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. This is the season of the year in which many of us are troubled with heat exhaustion, stomach derangement and bowel troubles such as diarrhea or constipation. These troubles are largely induced by errors of diet. The best way to avoid these troubles is by simple eating, using at all times a well balanced and mixed diet. We are made from what we eat. We should be careful of what we take into our stomach. If we want to avoid stomach rebellion we must observe the science and fine art of simple eating. Most people eat too much of heavy foods such as meats and rich pastries, and too little of light foods such as fruits and vegetables. of simple eats too much of meat and rich of light foods tables. Our consisting of nuts, eggs, one; neither freely of fruits in people whoients who are easily should eat the twentenhours apart, the two meals we mean the The idea of a sane and therefore safe Fourth of July has happily taken the place of the old idea that to properly celebrate our Independence day we had to make as much ear-splitting noise as possible, and indecently kill and main a lot of human beings. Of course the boys will miss the noise and racket, but they will be better off for all that. There will be an absence of hurts and injuries to life and limb that will more than compensate for the loss of the enjoyment with the deadly toy pistol, the giant firecrackers and all the other instruments of danger and destruction with which we used to make the "glorious Fourth" a day of terror and torment rather than one of sane, safe and joyous celebration. A diet this time of year consists entirely of meats, beans, nuts, eggs, etc., is not a healthy one; neither should a diet consist entirely of fruits and vegetables. During this hot season people who are on vacations or students who are pursuing a course of study should eat only two good meals during the twenty-four hours, about eight hours apart, and they will find that the two meals will be amply sufficient. By the term digestion we mean the process or act of converting food into materials fit to be taken up by the system. First, mouth digestion. The food should be well masticated. The starches are digested in the mouth by the alkaline saliva. The mouth should always be alkaline and not acid. Good digestion depends upon a good appetite. Teeth should be examined and cleaned at least twice yearly. We cannot have good mastication and mouth digestion unless the teeth are sound and clean. With bad teeth and dirty mouth we get as a resultant acid dyspepsia, sour stomach, bad breath and eructation of gas. A sweet-smelling breath depends very largely upon a clean mouth, clean teeth, healthy stomach, active liver, open and well washed out bowels. All the chewing gums, breath perfusers or sweeteners will never take the place of a good clean stomach, with active, purified bowels and digestive organs. You had just as well try to disguise the foul odor emanating from a dirty body during these hot days, that has not had a bath since warm weather set in, with Colgate's talcum powder as to hope to have a sweet breath and sweet stomach with fermentation and putrefaction going on in your stomach and bowels. Fletcherize, or chew, your food until it becomes liquefied. It will prevent overeating, overloading the stomach, and the appetite will be more easily satisfied; the digestive organs will not be overworked, and the mental condition will be much stimulated and the capacity for mental work largely increased. Beer, gin, whiskey and other alcoholics are not necessary to give one an appetite, and they are positively harmful as appetizers and should not be used at all. It is better to drink water just before eating, moderately during the meal, but you should not drink any water for two hours after the meal is finished. An ordinary person should drink from eight to ten glasses of water a day during this warm season. The kidneys should pass from one and one-half to two and one-half pints of urine daily. Of course more urine should be passed in winter than in summer. The use of tea, coffee, ice tea, milk and buttermilk during this season are very good beverages. Tea and coffee should be used very moderately—not oftener than once a day, nor more than one cup for this season, as they have a great tendency to raise the blood pressure and are inducing factors of sunstroke. Good buttermilk and milk should be used very freely. It is better to take a good cool glass of buttermilk when you are thirsty than to purchase cheap ice cream cones and ice cream sodas from a great many of the Greek fountains. In fact, buttermilk is better for your stomach than sodas and ice cream sodas. Questions. Conductor's Transfer—R. M. writes: How is a 'conductor's transfer a car of disease?

As certain kinds of food make more heat in the body than others, it follows that in hot weather we should eat most largely of the fruits and vegetables and very sparingly of the fats and pastries. How many parents in this big town are doing the best they can to train and educate their children so that when they are grown up they will be from the physical, moral and mental standpoint better men and women than their fathers and mothers were? We have talked about a lot of things—of files and summer heat, of dirty milk and vacant lots and things you should not eat. About fresh air and outdoor life, and fold and park and wood, and many other things that we believed would do you good. But there's one thing yet we've left unsaid; and that's why we want to say: Be careful how you spend your time on Independence Day. Yes, things have changed since we were boys; for then we thought to make a noise was, in fact, the only way to honor well our natal day. So that was why with bang and screech, with roar and shout and fervid speech, we started out in morning bright and whooped her up till, late at night, we went to bed all tired out, and nearly dead. But people now have learned some sense. They dread the noise and big expense; and wisely think the now way best to make it a day of peace and rest. Despite the dry weather we have been having in Chicago there has been pretty generally throughout the city an unusually plentiful and annoying supply of mosquitoes. In view of the fact that the little pests are most numerous in well-drained localities and where are are no ponds or pools of stagnant surface water, the question is, where do the mosquitoes come from? The answer is, from the catchbasis in the street. It has been found that in dry weather there are more mosquitoes in a town or city with sewered streets than in the country or unsewered suburbs. Then a little investigation disclosed the further fact that the water standing in the street catchbasis furnished ideal breeding places for mosquitoes. If catchbasis be treated with kerosene—say a pint to each basin after each rain—the mosquitoes will soon disappear. This plan has been tried in some cities and found to be effective.

As usual, the services of last Sunday were of the highest type and filled with glorious enthusiasm and praises of God. Though hot, the day and exceedingly heavy the duties heaped upon him to perform. Dr. Wilson put the same strength and vigor into the services as ever before, and with the combined effort of members and friends it was felt at the close of the day that God had placed His divine stamp of approval upon the entire day's services. Children's day was celebrated in the Sunday school last Sunday. The short but unique program was well received. Despite the intense heat, a goodly number were present, and listened most attentively. The occasion was augmented with the presence of Mme. Clara Hutchinson, who accompanied at the piano Miss Brittalimara Wright, who sang very sweetly one of Horatio D. Hewett's selections, "Suffer Little Children to Come Unto Me." Miss Wright is a member of the choir and is being given vocal training by Madame Hutchinson. St. John is proud of her, and all feel confident that if she continues to be trained under the able-direction of her most efficient teacher, Madame Hutchinson, that her future as a singer will be a bright one.

His evening discourse was the sixth in a series bearing on the home. The subject was "The Ideal Young Man." In his practical way he gave the young much good advice, and pointed out the way to the making of ideal manhood. The Ladies' Missionary Society met in the ladies' parlor of the church on Tuesday evening and transacted much business. The Unity Club turned over to the pastor the receipts in full payment of the beautiful pulpit set which they donated some time ago.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Dismantled Bark: Was Propelled to Port by Entangled Whale, According to Story. Johann van den Broeck, who arrived the other day from Java on his way home to Zaandam, Holland, to see his family, said that his grandfather, Cornelius van den Broeck, was the first man to have the idea of screw propellers for steamships instead of side wheels. "It was in 1838, I have been told," said Mr. van den Breecat at the Walford-Astoria, the New York Times says, "that my grandfather commanded a stout old Dutch bark of 300 tons, sailing from Amsterdam to the East Indies. The Groote Marle she was called. In trying to weather the Cape of Good Hope the bark was dismasted, and, like the Flying Dutchman of Vanderdecken, it looked as if the Groote Marle would spend her days to the crack of doom trying to get around to the Indian ocean on her way to Java. One stormy afternoon the bark was suddenly rocked by a crashing blow on her high square wooden stern. "The captain and his officers, with the crew on deck, rushed and saw that the Groote Marle had been hit by a whale which had stuck fast in the timbers and was slashing the sea with its tail to get free. "The water began pouring into the after hold and Capt. van den Broeck ordered the after hatch to be taken off to see how much water was coming in. Directly the hatch covers were removed, the enormous head of the whale could be seen in the gloom of the hold, and he started to blow the water out through the open hatch as fast as it poured in, so my grandfather said, and in his struggle to release himself the whale propelled the hark ahead at seven knots an hour into Cape Town harbor." Mr. van den Broeck added that his grandfather tried to get some of the Dutch merchants in Cape Town to take an interest in patenting a propeller for use on steamers instead of paddle wheels, as the Cunard line then had on the Atlantic, but they shook their heads and said they had little faith in steam and prophesied that canvas would still be the motive power for ships. When Capt. van den Broeck returned to Amsterdam his brother skippers, who assembled daily, in the old cafe in the Prins Hindris Gracht, laughed at his yarn and said that the captain had taken too much Schiedam one night and dreamed the whale story. Irish Fluency. Educated persons find it hard to believe that an Irish peasant speaks always with a compelling sense of style. That it is so, Mr. Padraic Colum declares in "My Irish Year." He tells of a man saying that "he was offered gallons of gold in Caron inj to betray the country." He used "gallons" with "gold" for the alliteration. Another man said, "I could have made monuments of money, if I had stayed in America." It is said that the English peasant has a vocabulary of from 300 to 500 words. Doctor Pedersen took down 2,500 words used by the Irish peasanty of the Aran islands. Dr. Douglas Hyde wrote down a vocabulary of 3,000 words from the mouths of Roscommon peanuts who could neither read nor write, and he thinks he fell short by 1,000 words of the vocabulary in actual use! He believes that in Munster, especially in Kerry, the average vocabulary in use among Irish speakers is probably between 5,000 and 6,000 words. Behind this abundant vocabulary there is a highly developed social sense. In peasant Ireland, satire is current, and has noticeable effect. An old man ate a meal in his son's house one day, and afterward he spoke of his daughter-in-law's housekeeping. "Gdd made meat," says he, "and somebody also made cooks." The Gael has always been marked for his abundant and vivid speech, and for his conspicuous martial qualities. "Born soldiers of fortune," says the German historian, "Very great scorners of death," says the Elizabethan observers—Youth's Companion. Lazy Husbande Pull Stumps Preparing to enforce the lazy husbands law and to provide work for county prisoners, Sheriff Cudihee and the board of commissioners are arranging for the construction of a stockade on 65 acres of county land north of Seattle. A delegation of club women and others urged the board to provide outdoor work for the moral and physical welfare of the prisoners. The new system will mean the employment of four or five guards and a cook and the construction of a stockade and fence. A stump pulver and donkey engine will be put into commission. The lazy husbands law is expected to increase the number of county prisoners, as the prosecuting attorney was bombarded with inquiries from anxious wives as to when the law will take effect. It provides for imprisonment, trial and punishment of husbands who neglect or refuse to work and support their families.—New York Sun. Where Bismarck Failed In view of the marriage of the crown princess of Germany to the son of the duke of Cumberland, it is interesting to recall that an attempt to unite these two royal families of Prussia and Hanover was made as long ago as 1866, only a few months before the beginning of the war with Austria. In "Bismarck's Autobiography" he tells how no other than himself tried to bring about a marriage between the Princess Frederica of Hanover with Prince Albrecht of Prussia in order to keep the neutrality of the former kingdom. Silver Lining Query. Robert Perks, British M. P., having declared that in the eastern part of the United States Christianity exists only in name, while the organist and choirmaster are more important than the clergymen, what "knocker" will have the hardship hereafter to raise the question, "Are we a musical people?" Little Girl Got What She Wanted When She Wanted It, and Therein Lies a Moral. A girl wearing a gay bit of goldenrod in her coat was hurrying through the crowded railroad station of an eastern city one evening, when she was stopped by a thin little hand thrust up toward her through the dusk, and a child's cry, "Lady, give me that flower." It was not a plea, it was not a request. It was a demand, and the flower was in the child's hands, the happiness of her sad little face had flashed close for an instant and the quick feet had scurried away into the darkness before the girl who had worn the goldenrod had time to look or think, to give or to refuse. The flower had grown on a rock by the sea. It was still wet with the mist from the waves and the sunset glow was reflected in its gold. Perhaps the child had never particularly noticed the sun, for, except when it was above the tall buildings, she could not have seen it. But the desire of all the world for the sun and the open sea was in her voice. Perhaps she was a very ordinary little girl, who grew up to be a little bigger and then worked in a factory, and liked to walk up and down the streets with the other girls and show off her cheap gay clothes. She probably married, and had several little girls like herself, and was always tired and poor, but, as far as she knew, happy enough. All that makes very little difference. At least it is the way things are. The important thing is that once she wanted something very much, and got what she wanted when she wanted it. It is good to want things whether we get them or not. It is better to get them. It is best of all to get them when we want them. This was no common desire such as most of us have every day. It was so strong and true and imperative that a tiny girl fought her way through a great crowd of people and without thought or fear took a flower from a girl's coat. No matter what happened to her after that, she had one moment of perfect joy. Perhaps the girl from whose coat she tore the flower may have had all good things for hers, but may never have known the joy because she never knew that want. He Had the Elsh: The new senator from Kentucky, Olle James, is a great fisherman, and enjoys nothing more than to relate some tale of the amateur. On one occasion in Kentucky there was observed a man who had never fished before. His rod was new and shiny. He was whipping a trout stream, when, by some chance, he got a bite. He did not play the fish at all. With rod straight ahead, he slowly and steadily, reeled in his catch. How he managed to hold the fish was a mystery. Pretty soon the fish was directly below the end of the rod, but the amateur did not stop. He continued to reel and reel, and, just as the observer reached the water's edge the fish's head touched the tip. Then the fisherman actually tried to pull his catch through the ring. He did not, of course, succeed. "What shall I do now?" he asked of the anused Kentuckian on the bank. "About the only thing you can do now," said the latter, "is to climb up the pole after the fish."—Judge. Captured Russian Stamps In War Captured Russian Stamps In War. From the war large quantities of Russian stamps fell into Japanese hands. Those of which the authorities had cognizance amounted to 1,702,000 roulés in face value. Of these, the stamps, used for official correspondence between government offices were, of course, "of no value to anybody except the owners," but the rest were sold off to whatever buyer made the best offer. The Russian government, hearing of this distribution, canceled the issue, changed the designs, and prohibited the use of old stamps. The buyers found themselves the possessors of large quantities of stamps which were of only second-rate value in the waste paper market. The Japanese military authorities have now taken them back at the prices originally paid, and have burnt them. It is hard lines in these days of retrenchment, but if the lesson in the vanity of paper values is learnt, the money will not be altogether wasted. Are You Thankful You Can Smell? Did it ever occur to you to be grateful for the sense of smell? Probably not, and yet those who have been deprived of it have felt their loss keenly. Harriet Martineau, the famous English writer, lacked the sense of smell and consequently the sense of taste, which depends on smell. Once and only once she tasted in all the intensity of flavor a slice of a leg of mutton. The sense came to her suddenly and she thought and hoped it had come to stay. "I was going out to a great dinner that night," she said when telling of her one taste, "and I looked forward with great eagerness to the dainties that I knew would be set before me. How I should enjoy practicing my new found sense of taste!" But, alas, the sense of taste disappeared as suddenly as it had come, and never returned, and she went through life remembering that taste of roast mutton as one of her keenest joys. Toga of an Ex-President In this part of the country it is our understanding that only women wear klimonos. In France, however, it is different. It may not be that Frenchmen as a rule wear such garments, but certainly former President Loubet wears one, or at least owns one. And thereby hangs the tale of a momentous event in human history: He bought the speckled, striped garment from Japan and paid $150 for it. An American wife—that is, the wife of ordinary means—would not think of paying that much for a klimono. But the husband of Mrs. Loubet wants comfort in his old age, in the days when he is not officially employed.

Bell, pastor, Services, 11 a. m. and 8 p. m.; Sunday school, 9:30 a. m.; class meeting, Thursday night. Despite the torrid wave that visited us last Sunday, our attendance was well nigh up to standard. The pastor delivered two interesting sermons at both services. "The Pastor in a New Hole." Last Wednesday in the afternoon the pastor complained of being very jil to Bro. P. A. Bryson, one of the members of our church. Bro. Bryson, assuming a sympathizing air, advised him to see a physician. He did. Acting abruptly on the suggestion, he boarded a car was soon seen in Chicago conversing Miss Amelia Compton, one of the occupants members of Bethel A. M. E. Church. Knowing that he had outdalked her, yet feeling it unsafe to take any chances, he summoned Dr. Roberts, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, "habes corpus." Arriving, the distinguished dividing found him nervously standing in the middle of the floor with his bride to be, holding her tightly with his left hand and a lifetime contract behind him in his right hand. So at the unanimous request of the two, Dr. Roberts tied the knot. A few minutes later Rev. Bell was interviewed and expressed himself as feeling much improved in health. Along with these we also wish to congratulate Prof. O. B. Payne, the president of the Epworth League of St. Paul's C. M. E. Church of Chicago, and Miss Adelaide Vernon, also of Chicago, on their recent marriage. Mrs. Elnora Jefferson and Mrs. P. A. Bryson will spend a week or two in Benton Harbor, Mich. Miss Carter Overstreck was elected from the Sunday school to represent Evanston at the Sunday school convention at Mt. Vernon, Ill. Bro. J. D. D. Smith and Sister Anna Zeigler spent Sunday in Chicago at the quarterly meeting of Mt. Carmel C. M. E. Church. Two members were connected with the church Sunday morning, Mrs. Annabelle Compton Bell and Miss Buelah Bell. On last Sunday, June 29, the cornerstone of the new A. M. E. Church at Waukegan, Ill., was placed by R. B. Elliott Lodge No. 36, K. of U., assisted by J. Early Lash Co. No. 19, U. R., through and under the direction of President Jackson. Great praise is due Rev H. Johnson, the pastor. He has made a great showing from nothing to start with to present dimensions: The exercises at the laying of the stone were led by District Deputy Grand Chancellor E. H. Ballinger before a large and fashionable audience. The program having been finished, the audience was sitting down by the K. of brass band, where all were surrounded with refreshments, ice cream and iced tea. EVANSTON NOTES. Secretary Thomas E. Taylor of Indianapolis, Ind., Y. M. C.

"Here's the very thing I am looking for, Lil: 'Lonely gentleman living in the city; forty years old; no in the city, for bad habits; for dark hair and eyes; good business man; wants to correspond with lady, blonde preferred; must be pretty; object, friendship and affection; will exchange photographs. Address, B. L. K. Tribune Office. 'I am going to answer this, Lil; I'm going to be the pretty blonde lady." A man and a woman stand in front of a building with columns. The woman is wearing a hat and a dress with floral patterns. The man is wearing a suit and a hat. "You will never do it, Mollie; it would be scandalous. You, a married woman, too." "I don't care if I am; I can't stay cooped up here all summer with out having a little fun. I have been here a whole month now, and haven't had one adventure." "Yes, Mollie, but this is too dangerous to be funny. If Jack ever hears of it, he will be angry enough to divorce you, and I wouldn't blame him if he did. You know he has a temper." "Pooh! Jack is a lamb; I am not a bit afraid of Jack; he is so tame; just like a canary bird fed on lump sugar. I know he would be shocked and such a thing would never enter his dear, old head, but I am going to do it anyway." Lil sighed: "Well, Molle, remember I do not approve of this thing at all. Whose picture will you send? Not your own, of course." "I can get one somewhere. I want one of a beautiful young girl. That one in your room, the one Amy Brown gave you will do; can I have it?" "Yes, I suppose, but I do wish you would give up this crazy scheme, Molle." Sober, stald, quiet Jack Bates, finding it impossible to leave his business in the city had sent his young and pretty wife up to her sister, who lived alone in a quiet little village. Molle answered the advertisement of the unknown B. L. K. and anxiously awaited results, which came in a few days in the shape of an answer. The correspondence progressed rapidly. He praised her eyes, hinted that life would be more worth living with her in his side, and urged her to meet him in the city soon. Mollie Bates, daring of spirit, loving adventure more than anything else in the world, promised to meet him sometime, but did not name a date. His letters were warm, tender, loving. He had advanced so far as to call her pet names. Mollie had had more amusement than she ever imagined possible in that quiet, out-of-the-way place. "I do wish Jack wouldn't write me letters to a typewriter; it always seems like a business letter. There's no s'ement in this kind of a letter. It' been no long since I have seen his 'iting. I would never recognize it, I know." "You ought to be thankful to get any kind of a letter from him. I should think your conscience would give you no peace," answered Lil, the righteous. Mollie decided to have one lark and then go home. After much thinking as to time and place, she agreed to meet the unknown B. L. K. at the Allendayle cafe at 11. She decided to go into the city on the interurban, take lunch with him and then go back and tell Lil what a jolly time she had had. Her car was a few minutes late. "Will he be waiting?" she wondered. "Really, this is equal to a schoolgirl romance; and dear, old Jack would be shocked at me or any other woman doing such a dreadful thing." She hastened to the trysting place. All the way to the city she had been trying to picture what he would look like and what he would say. He was to wear a white carnation on the right lapel of his coat, and she had agreed to wear a pink one on her left shoulder. How ridiculous it all seemed, and what an adventure it was, too. She walked with her head up and a firm step; only a moment now and she would reach the cafe door. She adjusted her vell, put one hand back to the meeting place of waist and skirt, gave a hitch here, a pull there, drew a deep breath, opened the door and walked into the room. "Why, hello, Mollie, what has brought you to the city today?" anxiously asked Jack, looking steadily at the pink carnation on her shoulder. "I came—I came to see you, Jack," stammered Mollie, blushing a rosy red. She was only sure of one thing; safely pinned to the right lapel of Jack's coat—dear, dignified, sedate, charming Jack—was a white carnation. (Copyright, by Daily Story Pub. Co.)

For the past two trips the stage that carried the bullion sacks from the Golden Nugget mine to Sonora had been robbed by a lone highwayman. Haskell, superintendent of the mine, stood at the window of his dingy little assay office and revolved the matter in his mind. Another consignment was ready for its trip down the mountain side and its immediate shipment was imperative. The guard that had been sent with the bullion had each time proved himself a coward. Haskell knew not whom to send. Into the range of his vision came the graceful figure of Dolores, daughter of Senora Valdes, the half-Mexican boarding house keeper. She was the one beautiful thing in all that barren wilderness. "Muchacha," little child, her mother called her still, although she had grown into slender womanhood. And "Muchacha" she was called by all the rough, tender-hearted miners in the camp. They worshiped her, perhaps the one thing Mexican that they did not hate in the whole district of Sonora. But of all of them there, was but one upon whom she would even cast a glance. "The Boy," they called him. He had drifted in from no one knew where, a reckless daredevil, whose face was so fair and boylike in contrast to their rough skins that "The Boy" seemed as natural to say as if he really had not reached man's estate. And it was to meet "The Boy" that Dolores was tripping down the steep trail to the mine tunnel. The moment Haskell saw her, an idea popped into his head. He opened the door. "Muchacha!" he called. "Muchacha!" The girl came obedient to his call. "Will you tell El Senor 'Boy' that I wish to see him," he said in Mexican patios. "Is it that the senor wished him to go with the bullon tomorrow?" Haskell smiled. "Hush! Not a word to anyone," he said. "But how did you guess it, Muchacha?" "Listen, noble senor," she said, stubbornly, "he must not go, for if he is killed, I will be as one dead. My heart will be broken. Listen, senor, have you forgotten the day that I warned you of ugly Pedro and his wicked knife?" Haskell's face softened. "No, Muchacha mia, that I have not," he said, earnestly. "You saved my life that day. I said then if ever you should ask of me a favor that I could grant I would grant it. I will keep my promise, but if you ask this of me whom can I get to take the bullon to Sonora?" "I, Gran' Senor, it is I that will do it." "You!" he exclaimed, incredulously. "Think you I cannot shoot?" she cried, fearful, now that she had made the resolve, that her request would not be granted. "Look!" She seized the pistol that hung in the holster by his side and leveled at a bald eagle that hovered almost overhead. At the first shot the bird paused in its flight, quivered and an instant after came tumbling earthward. "Is the senor convinced?" she cried. "I am brave and besides, would the bandit hurt a woman?" she queried. "If you insist, Muchacha, I cannot refuse you. It shall be as you say, but, my heart misgives me. I—I—if I could leave this cursed place I would go myself." "I will not be hurt, and I have your promise, have I not?" she cried gaily. Tomorrow it is at nine, then? And, laughingly shaking her finger at him, "tell it to no one. Good night, senor. Buenas Noches." The next day the stage rumbled away with but one occupant, Muchacha and her bullon sacks. To her side the superintendent had strapped his pistol. Down through the canyon the stage rumbled, and the cowardly driver whipped up his horses, for it was just around the next bend that the robber had last held up the stage. The horses rounded the bend in safety and the driver was just drawing a long breath of relief when—Ping!—the off horse fell with a bullet through his heart. The stage stopped with a lurch and as it did so a masked man sprang from the shelter of a rock and advanced toward the stage, a pistol leveled in either hand. An instant afterward the door of the stage opened and Muchacha stood in the doorway. As she did so a spurt of flame came from the pistol in her hand and the handi fell dead. Laughing lightly, she ran to the prostrate form and snatched away the mask. Her hand sought her heart. She reeled. She almost cried out. It was "The Boy." A moment only did the shock weaken her. She turned and walked steadily to the stage. "Vamos! drive on!" she cried. "We must be in Sonora by three o'clock." The monastery at Sonora holds a sister whose face is strangely like that of "Muchacha." (Copyright, by Dally Story Pub. Ca.) Wants Just a Taste.

He had to were twenty and he was thirty. But, then, in the height of her gay season, he seemed quite remote to her, and she had refused his proposal. 5 Two years later her father died a bankrupt and she married Rahl. It was a case of any port in a storm, and she frankly told him so; but he felt assured that his great love for her could not but beget love in return. He lavished up on her everything that his wealth could bestow and his thoughtfulness devise. One evening Jean came upon her husband una wares in the il- "What have I done," she thought, sorrowfully, "to make him happy? Nothing." She went back to the library. "Ralph," she said, gently. "Jean," he said, slowly. "I have lost my money—everything. We are poor, Jean!" "But, Ralph, you have health, strength and ability; you are young enough to work. Do you care so much for riches? You forget, Ralph, that I was poor, for a whole year. It won't be a new experience for me as for you." "I have nothing left, Jean, except a little cottage and a piece of land out in a western town where I once had an interest in a large factory. It was such a small piece of property that I forgot to mortgage it even, and it escaped the wreck." "It would give us a home," she said, thoughtfully, "and don't you think you could some position out there?" "I was just thinking," he replied, 'A particular friend of mine is super-intendent of the factory, and I feel confident he would give me an office position. "I'll wire," he said, promptly, "and if he gives me any encouragement, we will go at once. I'll leave the house and appointments and everything here for Roberts to dispose of and hand over to my creditors." "Ralph, I have a balance of $1,000 in my private account. We'll furnish the little cottage with it." The next day he telegraphed and received a favorable reply. Within a week, he and Jean were furnishing their little western home, and scheming to make their $1,000 go as far as possible. The little cottage was very pictureque and homelike. Jean, who had acquired some little knowledge of cooking in a chafing dish way in her year of independence, became a proficient housekeeper. "Jean," said her husband, one night, "it seems marvelous to me that poverty has gained for me what riches could not. For you do love me, Jean!" "You know I do, Ralph! and I think, Ralph, you used to do too much for me. There was nothing for me to do in return, but common interests and common cares have awakened new meanings in life and love to me." "Then I will tell you something. It was all untrue what I told you about losing our money. I was brooding that night over your not loving me, and when you came to me, sympathetic and kind in manner, an inspiration moved me to try this experiment. In winning your love I have come to love this simple way of living." "I have an interest in this factory," he laughed. "My salary was my dividend. Our house and things are all there waiting for us.

(Copyright, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) Why Is Sleep? Why is, sleep? Now, please don't answer this question right off the bat, so to say, by remarking that it is an instinct or a necessity or anything like that. For Drs. Legendre and Piedron of London, in experiments on dogs, have discovered that sleep is due to a toxic substance in the blood developed by long periods of wakefulness. There you have it, you see—the longer you stay awake the surer you will be to sleep. And you may know of some persons who have arrears of sleep due and uncollectable for various reasons, and others who have long overdrawn their accounts. All of which goes to show that sleep is rather an unevenly distributed thing and—oh, well, what of it?

Toward the close of the Peninular war 400 prisoners were captured by John Colborne, afterwards Meld Mar- shal Lord Seaton. Colborne, who was wounded at Talavera, had been die: abled for some time, but in 1813 he was in active service again and when Wellington's army crossed the fron- tler in France he performed what was indeed the most amazing feat of his career. When riding, with no comrade but the famous Sir Henry Smith, separat: ed from his column, he saw 400 French soldiers passing along a ravine below him, 7 “The only way was to put a good face on the matter,” he wrote; “so I went up to them, desiring them to surrender. The officer thinking, of course, the column was behind me, surrendered his sword, saying theat- riealls: ‘Je vous rends cette, qui a bien fait son devoir.’ (I surrender this sword, which has done its duty well.) The 400 followed his example.” Sir Henry Smith used to declare that he had never seen such cool pres. ence of mind as Colborne displayed ‘on this occasion. ‘Taking a Chance. Senator Lee 8.

The Defenders batted the Dearborn Stars all over the lot and romped home winners Sunday morning at Washington Park, 15 to 4. Despite the heat, Carey pitched grand ball, and the support his teammates gave him, with the exception of one inning, was grand. The Stars collected only one hit until the seventh, and only four altogether. Manager Young had some new faces in the lineup-Foster and Anderson, formerly of the Pearl High in Nashville, Tenn. The game: First—Carey flied out to center. Ogelesby walked, and stole second. Foster walked. Ogelesby and Poster pulled off a double steal, both making desperate slides into the sacks. Ogelesby scored and Foster went to third on a passed ball. Radcliff strolled. Lewis flied to second and Drake flied to center. One run; no hits. Washington out, Radcliff to Henderson. Scott out the same way. Sledge whiffed. No runs; no hits. Second—Henderson hit a home run. Anderson walked, and stole second, making third on the error.

His men were going like clockwork all right. Ogeleshy certainly has some speed on the bases and has a partner in Foster. Henderson had his batting eye with him. A walk, two home runs, a double, a single, and then his speed beat out a bunt towards third. Now for some togs and the benefit game with Grace. The Doctors played on the next diamond and won from the unlucky Athletes. Dr. Plummer starred in the field. The other feature of the game was the slugging of the Medics.

The West Baden Sprudels defeated the American Giants in the hottest and the fastest and the most exciting game of the year Sunday. The Sprudels won the game in the first inning when, after Shively and Brown were hit, four swats and a sacrifice fly to Lindsay tallied four runs. The temperature was around 98, and the crowd was the largest in the history of semi-pro ball. Not a Giant reached first until the fourth inning. In the fifth inning the Giants through two hits and some luck put across three. The Giants celebrated the winning of the California Winter League by unfurling the banner, which is of cream colored bunting with a border of blue with white stars, and the lettering on the cream is red: "Champions of the California Winter League, Season of 1912-1913. American Giants." Before the game there was a parade, in which both teams took part. The Giants wore their new uniforms of a cream color trimmed in blue. Hutchinson was back at short and Lindsay was in Hill's place. The score: Sprudels. . .5 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0-7 12 2 Giants. . . .0 0 0 0 3 1 0 1-5 9 3 Two-base hits—Clark, J. Taylor. Double plays—Lindsay to Petway, Pierce to Hutchinson. Struck out— By Taylor, 3; by Johnson, 3; by Gate- wood, 1. Bases on balls—Off Gate- wood, 1; off Johnson, 3; off Taylor, none. Umpire—Goeckel. Assists and Put-Outs. It was a grand old game, and a better day could not have been asked for. The Giants were beaten, but we should worry. A team of their own color did it. The crowd has been screaming to see just such a game, and they certainly got their money's worth. The band played, but hardly anyone paid any attention, as they were busy applauding the players. In the second, Taylor of the Giants came to the bat and the crowd rose. It was Greek against Greek, and the excitement was intense. Taylor's bat was on his shoulder, and he brought it off twice before a ball was pitched, showing Steel-arm Taylor where he wanted it. Steel-arm nodded, wound up and put it there. The batter hit a terrific drive. But the other Greek was there, too. He stuck his gloved hand up and in it the sphere stuck, while the crowd went wild. In the fifth the Giants had a man on second and one on third. McMurry made a throw as if to second, and Petway hiked for home. Taylor intercepted the throw and returned it 9th late. Here Petway was trapped, ame Fortune had to butt in and spore some heady baseball. Goeckel, the "ump," got in the way, and the visitor's third baseman fell and the run counted. There was some argument, and before it was settled two more had crossed. It wouldn't hurt to have these games start at 3 instead of the present time. Pete Hill graced the bench. Stomach trouble. Monday Dougherty held the Sprudels to one run, while his mates gathered in fourteen. Dougherty allowed only four hits, striking out twelve. The score was 11 to 1. Cy Young of East Chicago handed the Chicago Giants nine goose eggs, winning 6 to 0. Young struck out fourteen. Last Sunday at Schorling's Park he fanned only one of the Americans. Howard Drew of Springfield High is to come west with the bunch of Boston athletes who will compete in the Grant Park games. Drew equaled the world's record for the hundred at Boston again last Saturday. The Filipinos lost to the Gunthers 9 to 4. The islanders showed the effect of their $8,000-mile journey. Every time they got a ball in their hands they muffed it. They are in a league on the islands and landed second, the United States Army team winning. Tuesday the Sprudels trimmed the Giants 11 to 1, reversing the score of Monday. Lincoln Giants vs. American Giants, at New York, July 10.

Times have changed since Captain Burton, 60 years ago, made a pilgrimage to Mecca at the peril of his life. A recent account of such a pilgrimage, by A. J. B. Wavell, says that with a passable knowledge of Arabic and of Moslem ceremonial, and with due precautions as to avoiding pilgrims from the country to which one pretends to belong, "the pilgrimage to Mecca may be made in disguise without running any risk worth mentioning." --- Preparation for Knowledge. No man can learn what he has not preparation for learning, however near to his eyes is the subject. A chemist may tell his most precious secrets to a carpenter, and he shall be never the wiser—the secrets he would not utter to a chemie, for an estate. * * * Our eyes are holden that we can not see things that stare us in the face until the hour arrives when the mind is ripened; then we behold them, and the time when we saw them not is like a dream.—Emerson. His Comment "They say that women keep the wheels of commerce going." "Maybe so. Here's a woman's program when she buys anything; She opens a handbag, takes out a purse, opens the purse and takes out a coin, shuts the purse and opens the handbag, shuts the handbag and adjusts her vell. I think business would slump if a man had to do all that every time he made a five-cent purchase." Anger Is Not Manly Let this truth be present to thee in the excitement of anger—that to be moved by passion is not manly, but that mildness and gentleness, as they are more agreeable to human nature, so also are they more manly, for in the same degree in which a man's mind is nearer to freedom from all passion, in the same degree also is it nearer to strength.—Marcus Aurelius. Hen Puts Sermon on Egg Arthur Moore, a farmer living near Shuqulak, Miss., found an egg on which appears the words "Watch and Pray," in raised letters as perfectly formed as if molded. The "W" and "P" are in capitals and the others letters in lower case. Moore says he found the egg in a nest with two others. Some Devout Dogs The following notice appears in the Weybridge (England) parish magazine: "A request has been made that owners of dogs will endeavor to prevent their attendance at St. Michael's church. A collie, an Aberdeen, a fox terrier and some others have of late presented themselves, not knowing that they are not welcome visitors." Henry and His Wives "Henry VIII, was king of England and the greatest widower that ever was," states a boy's essay. "He was born at a place called Annie Domino, and he had 350 wives. The first was beheaded and then executed, the second was revoked, and the third died, and then he married Ann Bulletin."—London Lancet. "What a hollow mockery," exclaimed the elderly person with the aquiline nose, "a chaperon is!" As for herself, she had not had a morsel of supper yet; it was two o'clock in the morning and the band played ever on. The demands of war took many a man away from his wife—that's why he went,—Waldo Baston. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER AT BOTTOM OF EVERYTHING The Eye is the Key to Happiness, to Good Behavior and to Success, Declares Oculist. If you are cranky instead of amiable, if you are bad instead of good, or if you are unhappy instead of happy, it may not be your own fault after all, but rather the condition of your brain and of your eye. At least that is what Dr. Archer Leslie Hood, an English oculist, claims after years of exhaustive study of the relation of the human eye to character. He believes, in fact, the eye is the key to happiness, to good behavior, to success. It is now possible, declares Dr. Hood, to make a man a useful member of society, no matter how erratic, unbalanced, and disagreeable he has been, simply by seeing his brain and eye muscles receive proper nourishment. When anything is wrong it means the man's brain or some particular part of it, is being poorly nourished. For instance, that part in which the faculty of benevolence is situated may not be getting enough blood. Then such a man will not be benevolent. He will be animal-like in his propensities. He will not know how to keep order either as to his person and clothes or in any work he does. An examination of the eyes of such a person shows his brain doesn't get enough blood. The blood can be sent there till the part is normal. Then the man becomes benevolent and kindly. Every one knows how a steady eye is always the mark of a well-poised man. His eye muscles are strong. An examination of his eye would show all parts were getting the right amount of nourishment. Criminals, on the other hand, real criminals and not those overcome by circumstances, have weak, shifting eyes. These are examples every one is familiar with. A woman who has no maternal instincts is always found to have a poor supply of blood to the back lobes of the brain. She cannot help not caring for children. But send the right amount of blood to her cerebrum and she will become loving and maternal at once. --- One-Hundred Dollar Bikers When Tetrazzini was staying at a New York hotel her manager asked the porter to get railroad tickets for her party to Chicago. As they were leaving the hotel the managed asked John, the porter, what he paid for them. "Ninety-five dollars." The singer's representative handed over a $100 bill, saying, "Keep the change." When Tetrazzini returned to New York she found an item of $95 on her first week's bill. Her manager challenged it. "I paid John, the porter," he explained. When he went to John about it the porter didn't know it had been charged. Then he ran his hand into his pocket, pulled out a roll of bills fat enough to choke a cow, peeled a yellow century note off the outside and handed it back. When the impressario's back was turned John muttered to Ed Keogh, the chief clerk: "Another of them p'kers!" John, the porter, is said to be worth $100,000. Single Line Poet. Every man has the streak of poetry in him, and probably every man could write one line of poetry out of his life—as any man has one novel in himself. But we were talking at large the other day and a man quoted the line, "A rose red city half as old as time." And then came the question, Who wrote that line that everybody knows? One man said it referred to Damascus. But no one knew who wrote it. There are single-line poets as there are "Single-Speech" Hilmott, and here is perhaps the only instance in which the Newdigate prize poem at Oxford has produced a living line. For the author was the Rev. J. W. Burgon, who won the prize in 1845, and doubtless recited portions of his poem in the Sheldonian theater. But that allusion to Perta, the Arabian rock city, has lived. Boundary Strictly Observed Boundary Strictly Observed. One feature in which the Russian frontier differs from others is the complete ignorance of those living near the border of what lies beyond. A correspondent of the Autocar says that he called at the Automobile club in Breslau, hoping to gain some information. "The members received me kindly and did all they could to help, but explained that they never crossed the frontier and had no first-hand knowledge. The German custom officers, living for ten years within yards of Russia, spoke no word of Russian, and the Russians beyond the chain spoke no German. There is a neutral strip some three or four yards wide between Russia and Germany, along which many Russian sentries are posted, and mounted Cossacks pass at short intervals riding the boundary." Where It Did Most Good There was cause for an eruption in a downtown office this morning that, instead of causing a flow of lava of Vesuvian quality, will, not doubt, produce a lather of Vesuvian quantity, says the Indianapolis News. A large soap manufacturing firm sent a box of fine soap to the manager of the office, who handed it over to his dalty, well-groomed stenographer, with the regulation, "Here, do you want this?" Later in the day Mr. Manager remarked that he wished to dictate a letter of thanks to the manufacturer, and began: "My Dear S.: I want to thank you for the box of soap, and you may be sure I have put it where it will do the most go—" But the stenographer had fainted.

Never has a better opportunity been offered to you to begin your effort to own a home in Chicago. Five feet one was the height of Cal Clark and this was only when he stood upon his good leg. When he rested upon his short, twisted limb, it was with difficulty that he could reach the five-foot mark. In addition to the misfortune of having legs of uneven length, Cal possessed a peculiarity of vision that enabled him to get around during the day, although not permitting the luxury of reading or writing. When the shades of night fell, or when he was subjected to artificial light, the poor fellow was as blind as a bat.

Unable to secure any work on account of his afflictions and the slender store of money he had inherited from his father having become exhausted, he was weighing deeply the advisability of seeking a home in the amshouse. Just what steps were requisite to secure admission to this institution was a poser to Cal, although he knew full well it must be done. He made his wish known to his only friend, Jim Collins, a hardworking mechanic, but the latter would not listen to such a plan. FRED'K H. BARTLETT & CO., (Owners) Mme. C. J.

After some hesitation, Cal accepted the kind offer, resolving to do everything he could in return for the home he would have. Mrs. Collins soon grew to be very fond of the little man, who would do anything sooner than eat the bread of dependence. Mme. E. M. TRUMAN, SCALP SPECIALIST 2932 State St. Chicago, Ill. Cal's chief delight was in the evelings after Jim returned from work. The supper dishes cleared away and the children tucked snugly into bed, the two men would sit with their pipes, Jim reading and Cal listening, to the evening paper.

The Old Reliable Thus they lived until an event occurred that came near upsetting the arrangements of the little home. Jim was taken ill; his malady developed into a dangerous fever that prostrated him for weeks. He was one of those easy-going men who took life as it came and it so happened that there had been very little provision made for a rainy day. Matters grew serious, the little stock of money became exhausted and Mrs. Collins was at her wits' end to secure more. She could not work herself; the care of Jim and the children prevented that. How was help to come? The answer came from the most unexpected source. Cal shrewdly guessed that affairs were in a critical state and at once blamed himself for it. Ilad it not been for the added expense he had caused the family would have been able to lay aside sufficient to carry them over the period of Jim's illness. He was the cause of it all and upon him rested the responsibility of relieving the situation. GUESS WHO will occupy this space? $5 will be given to you if you are first. What could he do to get money? Cal scratched his hand until the bald spot grew bigger and the wrinkles on his forehead deepened. He would try to secure work, but where could he get it? He sought employment, but without success. Some laughed at him, others jeered him, while others offered him such work as he could not do. At last he hit upon a plan and one day returned home with a handful of money, mostly pennies, but here and there a stray dine and nickel. This he proudly placed on the table and called Mrs. Collins to count it. Send guesses to the Defender off as long as you see this challenge "Why, Cal, where in the world did you get all this money?" she questioned, after finding out there was over a dollar in the pine. "I got it honesty, ma'am," returned the little man, but he would furnish no information as to the source from which the money came. Mrs. Collins was too glad to get it to worry much about the matter. Each day thereafter Cal returned with a supply of money, sometimes more and sometimes less than on the first day, but never without any. Slowly Jim grew stronger and at length was able to return to work. Then Cal disappeared. His friend sought for him but for a long time could find no trace of the lame, half-blind man. He seemed to have left the face of the earth. One day Jim heard of a man, answering his friend's description though bearing a different name, who had been seat to the almshouse. Thither Jim went and found Cal Clark registered under the name of Thomas Burns. "What does this mean, Cal?" demanded Jim, somewhat sternly. "Why did you leave home and come here?" "Twasn't my fault, Jim," pleaded Cal, holding his friend's hand as if he did not intend to part with it. "They'll tell if I don't, so I will. You see, Jim, when money got scarce at home, I knew it was all my fault. So I started to get some. The only way I could do was to beg for it and this I did. It's strange people will give you money for charity but they won't give a fellow a chance to earn it. That's how I did until the day you went back to work when the police took me up and sent me here.
