THE MAN THAT BEATS JACK JOHNSON WILL RULE THE WHOLE WORLD. How About This, Georges?—Can He Whip Palzer?—The French Idol Is Clever, Fast and a Hard Hitter—Will the Next Champion be a Frenchman?—Champion Is Stopping at the Hotel Terminus. --- A Fearless, HONEST CHAMPION of the People (Special to The Chicago Defender, from a Staff Correspondent.) Paris, France, July 25.—The man that beats Jack Johnson will rule the world. It matters not that Jack's name has been put on the outlaw roll, the fact peers through the arena's skylight that he remains heavyweight king. McCarty has his run on the McCarey medal, and Pelky succeeds him as white dictator as the natural outcome of the Calgary fatality, but it's Johnson that's the big fellow—the leader of all heavies, black or white. He won his honors in the ring and being undefeated is entitled to them. He looked down and out for a time, but as long as he can fight—and he will get that chance in France—he must once more be considered. Champion he is, the real one. That heavyweight history may be carried out and chronicles written for the future, it is necessary that Johnson must have his swing. Some disposition must be made of him. McCarty was and Pelky is—a side issue. Is Georges Good Enough. Jack has not as yet landed any business in France, but the best move of the Partisan matchmakers would be to run him on with either Carpenter or Palzer. This pair meets in the French capital in the fall and the winner undoubtedly will be signed with Johnson. Jack may get small bouts for a starter but his big grub-stake lies in a bout with Georges or the Iowa farmer. How about this Georges, is he good enough to whip Palzer or Johnson? That's a hard question. The French idol is clever, fast and a hitter. As a light heavyweight he has performed more valiantly than at any of the smaller weights. His strength was not there when he fought Klaus and Papke, both of whom defeated him. As a heavy he has knocked out Bombardier. Wells and several lesser lights. This trimming of the Bombardier doesn't sound so good at first glance, but please recall that Wells outweighed Georges forty pounds and was bigger in every way. Champion Goes Motoring. Pulzer will also have the advantage of Carpenter. Strong as the festive bull we hear so much about, a raving fighter of great bulk, it may be that, clumsy though he is, he will wear out Carpenter, who is not as strong as McCarty or as big. But if he beats Palzer, if he puts over a fukeless win, well—Mr. Johnson comes next. Will the next champion be a Frenchman? We have had all sorts now. Ryan, Sullivan and Corbett were Irishmen. Fitzsimmons was of Irish parents. Jeffries was German-American, Burns French-Canadian, Johnson an African. The champion and his wife are the most popular guests at the Hotel Terminus. His wonderful record, and his future chances are discussed everywhere, but Mr. Johnson refuses to talk. He is anxiously awaiting the arrival of Mr. Fury, his trainer. He is expected by an early boat. The champion is always motoring. His high speed cars are seen everywhere. His party is a jolly one and there are no signs of care noticeable in any of them. It is here in this garden spot of the old world that Mr. John Arthur Johnson again gets the consideration due him as heavyweight champion of the world. Champion Johnson this week renewed his subscription to The Chicago Defender through our correspondent. DEATH OF MRS.

ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY 138 YEARS OLD Formed in 1775 with Benjamin Franklin as its First President. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Philadelphia, Pa., July 25.—The Pennsylvania Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery, the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully Held in Bondage and for Improving the African Race, will celebrate its 1828 anniversary tomorrow. This society was formed in 1775, with Benjamin Franklin as its first president. It was an ardent supporter of the north during the Civil War and waged a bitter fight on slavery, particularly on the illegal form of bondage that existed during the early days of that system. The society is the trustee of the Laing school at Mount Pleasant, S. C., and during its long life has fostered and furthered the work of many educational and charitable institutions. It has capital amounting to eighteen thousand dollars, about one-half of which is invested in property at 1223-1225 Spring street. Owner of "Shop-in-His-Pocket" Near Collapse. Special to the Chicago Defender. Atlantic City, N. J., July 25—Robbed of jewels valued at $3,000 on the Boardwalk, Harry Schaefer, known as the "walking jewelry shop," appeared crazed for hours, and is verging on collapse. The robbery was reported to the police and detectives were assigned to the case, but no trace of missing jewels has been found. Schaefer told the police in his coherent moments that he left his home with the jewels in a packet in his pocket, and after calling on a patron, visited the Boardwalk. He participated in a bowling game, laying the coat containing the jewelry aside, and did not discover his loss until he had returned to his apartments. ALABAMA MAN FARMING WONDER Untutored Farmers' Achievements Amaze Experts—One Bale to an Eighth of an Acre of Land. NITROGEN IN THE SOIL. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Buffalo, N. Y., July 25.—Sam McCall is an ex-shelf illiterate, and 75 years old, but he is teaching the farmers of the world some noteworthy lessons, says the New York Times. He has won fame by producing on his little farm in Central Alabama the largest amount of cotton to the area ever grown in the United States. This is one bale to an eighth of an acre of land. The importance of this achievement may be understood when it is known that the average yield for the United States is only two-fifths of a bale for a whole acre. Sam McCall has developed a method of cultivation on once worthless land, which is so successful that he thinks nothing now of producing three and one-half to four bales of cotton an acre, or eighty bushels of oats or corn. The average in the southern states for corn and oats runs fifteen to twenty-five bushels an acre. When Sam was made free, he bought land to the amount of 160 acres. He cultivated forty acres, and the first year made hardly enough to keep himself. He concluded that with his limited equipment, and in view of the fact that he was doing practically all his own work, it would be wise for him to reduce the amount of land. He gradually brought his cultivated farm down to two acres, and for twenty-two years on this plot has spent all of his time and energies in what farm experts call one of the most interesting examples of intensive farming carried on in the United States. According to some who have gone to Alabama to study his methods the reason for the ex-slave's success in agriculture is due largely to the fact that he has manufactured nitrogen in the soil unknowingly by feeding the soil bacteria with carbo-hydrates and cellulose, coming from the refuse of the crops. McCall's land is part of an abandoned farm. Before he began to cultivate it the soil was perhaps as bad as any that can be found on any farm in the southern states. The former slave knew nothing of scientific methods of cultivation, but was a good observer. He noticed white farmers in his section gathering leaves in the fall to spread over their land to form humus in the soil. Sam never heard of the word humus, but he concluded the white farmers knew what they were doing and he followed suit. He later decided to use the refuse of all crops as a natural fertilizer. At the time he began to cultivate his land commercial fertilizers were little known and the ox-slave has never made use of them during his entire career. TWO OBSTACLES. There are two things most men hate to do: Die, and make a living.—Waldo Baston. HON. R. W. TYLER FLAYS WILSON ADMINSTRATION HON. R. W. TYLER FLAYS WILSON ADMINSTRATION Former Auditor of the Navy Department Attacks President Wilson and His Party for "Double Crossing" the Race—Bitterly Denounces Proposed Policy of Segregation of the White and Colored Races in the Departments at the Nation's Capital. NO OTHER RACE WOULD STAND FOR THE INSULT Assistant Secretary of the Treasury John Skelton Williams Has Introduced Such a Policy in His Department—President Wilson Evidently Forgets That He That He Was Going to Put as Much Christianity Into His Administration as Possible —The Race and the Little Dog. Special to the Chicago Defender. Washington, D. C., July 25.—Tuesday Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, former auditor of the navy department, attacked the Wilson administration for its proposed policy of segregation of the white and colored races in the departments at Washington. Alleging that Assistant Secretary of the Treasury John Skelton Williams has introduced such a policy in the treasury department and intimating that self-respecting Negroes in that department feel the action deeply. Would Not Insult Any Other Race. Mr. Tyler said: "The attitude of the Wilson administration, toward my race is much like the attitude of the big boy who is always picking on the boy smaller than himself, but who is afraid to touch the boy of his own size and his superiors. Mr. Wilson would not have dared to segregate the Italians, Jews or even the Japanese who may be in the government service. This insult offered to any other race would have provoked sturdy opposition and dire results if executed in spite of protests against it." President Wilson's "Christianity." Reciting that the Democrats worked for the race vote in the last election, Mr. Tyler added: "Mr. Wilson, writing to a Presbyterian minister, Dr. Grimke, shortly after his election, assured the Negro that he would have nothing to regret from his administration; that he was going to put as much 'Christianity' in his administration as possible. If this unjust, humiliating discrimination against faithful, intelligent negro employees is 'Christianity' then Negroes will pray for the Pagan brand." DR. DON E. ALFONSO JORDAN'S NEW OFFICES Well-Known Chiropodist Moves into More Elaborate Quarters. The prowess of Negro chiropodists in our city has almost been marvelous. Many might be mentioned, but none deserves more credit for constant labor, persistent effort, hard work and diligent study than Don E. Alfonso Jordan, senior member of Jordan & Smith, Drs. Ch., Chiropody Company, formerly located at 333 South Dearborn street, Boyleston building, but now occupying new and beautiful quarters in the New Gibbons building, 20 East Jackson boulevard. In securing this suite of offices and furnishing them up so completely that they are about the prettiest offices of this kind in the loop district, these gentlemen deserve commendation as junior pioneers in the profession, not only from a business standpoint, but it manifests that wonderful integrity, progressiveness and successfulness that characterize the race. Drs. Jordan and Smith are college graduate foot specialists, and also members of the National Association of Chiropodists. When in the city and in need of chiropody treatment drop in and see them, and you will leave with the impression that they surely know their business and also have a beautiful place. PROF. P. T.

Seventy-five dollar ($75.00) chairs in room for only 100 a night. First-class service. No wonder there is a rush for the rooms. Everything is now all serene at Rankin & White's drug store, 36th and State streets. The twins now stand side by side without fighting. "Auto" became unruly some time ago and with the result that last Friday "Bell" was sent home. But her foster parents went to the city hall and Monday "Bell" was returned. Now the twins sit side by side all day long and far into the night and everyone is happy. Of course it's understood that we are talking about telephones. MISS WILLIAMS TO WED NEXT MONTH.

The two boys after finishing high school went into the coal hauling business with their father and stuck through summer and winter; last Monday the boys bought a 500 h. p. auto coal truck at a cost of $645. This truck, known as the Mogul truck, is one of the finest in the city, and is capable of carrying 8 tons at one hauling. The City Fuel company has no truck to compare with this one and the boys are jubilant over their success in this business in which they stand alone. Both white and colored men, especially the State street motormen of the city railway company, are loud in their praise of these two boys, as they give up the tracks at the first sound of their bell. Hundreds of these men each day salute these young men and will say to passengers, "Those two boys are the most gentlemanly fellows that hold the lines in Chicago." Keep an eye out for Bob and Earnest and give them the glad wave for their success. MISS MAE COLEMAN GIVES DANC ING PARTY IN HONOR OF MISS ADA LOU MITCHELL. On Wednesday evening, July 16, Miss Mae Coleman entertained forty guests at a dancing party in honor of Miss Ada Lou Mitchell, which was a charming affair.

Miss Mitchell was given a guest prize. All present spent a most enjoyable evening. Mr. Logan Thomas was at the piano. I wonder why it is that so many men seize upon the opportunity to go to the dogs—Waldo Baston! THE WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER PRICE 5 ONLY NATIONAL EXPOSITION AND SEMI-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION NATIONAL EXPOSITION AND SEMI-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION ```markdown ``` Association Organized — Charter to be Secured Soon—Hon. A. J. Pettit, Chief Justice of the Circuit Court, Speaks. EVENT SHOULD BE MANAGED BY RACE. Makes Plain Talk and Gives Some Good Advice—Sub-Committee Appointed—Committee Welcomes Suggestions. The Negro national exposition committee met last Tuesday night at the Appomattox Club with Mr. B. F. Moseley in the chair. In the absence of the regular secretary, Mr. L. B. Anderson, Miss Bertiola Fortson, acted in his stead. Among those present were Hon. F. E. Lloyd, representative from the second district in the Illinois legislature, and Judge Adelor Pettit, chief justice of the Circuit court. Meeting of the committee was interesting and short talks by Representative F. E. Lloyd, Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett, Mr. Charles B. Travis, Mrs. Fannie Emmanuel and Mrs. Martha B. Anderson, Frank S. Hamilton, Rev. W. S. Braddon and others were full of wholesome logic which pointed a way for the success of the movement. Judge Pettit was of the opinion that the Negroes, themselves, were capable of giving a national Negro exposition, and should give one. That the white were not dealing fairly with the Negroes, if they sought to give the exposition themselves and label it the Negroes' exposition. That the credit for the exposition should go to the Negroes, but he could only hope to get that credit, only where he was in complete control of the management. He, however, pledged his support to the movement. Representative Lloyd was impressive and showed that he had given the subject more than a passing interest. As it was, he, who worked to secure the passage of the bill and appropriation for the state exposition, as well as being the recipient of the rude conduct of the executive by being ignored in the appointment, for commissioners. This, however, did not seem to affect Representative Lloyd and his interest in furthering the project. On a motion of Mr. Charles B. Travis, the chair was authorized to appoint a sub-committee to perfect and secure the incorporation of the organization and to prepare an address to the country. The following persons were appointed on the sub-committee: Chas. B. Travis, Will. F. E. Lloyd, Ida Wells Barnett, Will G. Anderson, Julius F. Taylor, Madam Daniel H. Williams, W. W. Farmer, Frank L. Hamilton and Bertola Fortson. This committee will meet Tuesday night next, at the rooms of the Fellowship Club, 2830 State street. Those having any suggestions to make are invited to present them to the committee at that time. MRS. MAMIE ODOM ENTERTAINS IN HONOR OF HER SISTER, MRS. LOTTIE COOPER.

J. The home was artistically decorated with flowers and plants. The table decorations were pink roses, and each guest was presented with a bouquet.

The prizes, which were useful as well as beautiful, were won by the following ladies: First prize, Miss Lella Stubbs of Boston, Mass.; second prize, Mrs. Lottie Cooper.

St. Paul, Minn., July 25—Mrs. A. Anderson (nee Baskin), 3247 Forest avenue, Chicago, spent portions of last week and this week in this city. She came on the call of the coroner, her uncle, Howard Thomas, having dropped dead on one of the main streets of the city. On his person was found a letter written him by Mrs. Anderson, and signed only with her Christian name, "Nettie." Luckily, the envelope bore her Chicago address. Later the coroner was able to communicate with Mr. Thomas' brother, also in this city. Mr. Thomas was unmarried, but leaves a brother and other relatives in Chicago and in Birmingham, Ala., and vicinity, and a host of friends in all places where he was known. Mrs. Wm. Vena left the city this weekfor a visit to St. Louis, Mo. Her son Morallis has gone on a visit to Detroit, Toledo, and to Windsor, Canada, to visit his brother.

Many Instances on Record Where Criminals Have Taken Refuge In Jails and Penitentiaries. The recent escape of a patient from the Poughkeepsie Insane asylum, followed by his begging to be taken back because New York was "too noisy," is no droller than many kindred Instances that have come to the attention of institution authorities in the past. It is a well-known fact that inmates of the state prisons often ask to be allowed to remain permanently where they have served a number of years sentence. They declare that it is actually more like home to them than any other place in the world where they have been. As the authorities have no power to continue them as prisoners at the expense of the state the released convicts will often commit another crime in order that they may be resentenced to a stay in their former prison home. It sometimes happens that criminals wanted for an offense that bids fair to lead to their capture and a long prison term will deliberately break a law that will lead only to a light sentence. They do this at some distant point and elude the detectives searching everywhere but in prison for them. They have been known to enlist under false names in the army or navy, much as they detest the strict discipline to which they must conform. They argue they are safer in the army for three years than being shadowed constantly by detectives. Others who often feel they are safer in custody are "squealers" who fear the knife or bullet of the "gang" outside. This was plainly shown in the Rosenthal-Becker murder case, when Rose and Weber and Schepps trembled lest the accused gunman's friends should be able to reach them and carry out revenge threats. Calendar in One Sentence: How often in the course of a year does a man who has no calendar near at hand ask himself the question. On what day of the week does such and such a date fall? A perusal of the following sentence will soon convince him how he may know all he needs with very little trouble: "Said I, I dwelt for fifteen weeks in London with a robber." Each word represents a month in order. Thus, "said" stands for January and "robber" for December. The number of letters in the word gives the date on which the first Saturday in the month represented occurs. Take, for instance, June 14, 1913. June being the sixth month is represented by the word "fifteen," which has seven letters, indicating June 7 as being the first Saturday. Then seventh and seven days give the 14th as being the second Saturday of the month. Having thus seen on which day of the week the month begins the rest is easy.—Stray Stories. Never-Settled Questions The familiar saying that nothing is settled until it is settled right expresses only a half-truth. Questions of general and permanent importance are seldom finally settled. 'A very wise man has said that "short of the multiplication table there is no truth and no fact which must not be proved over again as if it had never been proved, from time to time." Conceptions of social rights and obligations and the institutions based upon them continue unquestioned for long periods as postulates in all discussions upon questions of government. Whatever conduct conforms to them is assumed to be right. Whatever is at variance with them is assumed to be wrong. Then a time comes when with apparent suddenness the ground of discussion shifts and the postulates are denied. They cease to be accepted without proof, and the whole controversy in which they were originally established is fought over again.—Senator Root, in North American Review. Knew Him as Well A certain cantankerous old gentleman not long ago advertised for a coachman, who was required, among other qualifications, to possess an intimate acquaintance with the neighborhood; but to his great surprise he received not a single application for the vacant post. "I cannot understand it at all," he said, as during a chat one day with an old hoster at the livery stables he had mentioned the fact. "Let me see," said the latter, as a gleam of intelligence flitted across his face, "ye had advertised. I believe, for one as 'must be well acquainted with the neighborhood', didn't ye? "I did," replied the old gentleman, shortly, "I want one who knows his way about." "Ah, that explains it," was the answer. "Ye see, they who knows the neighborhood well knows ye, too!" Measuring a Plant's Drink. when we cut flowers we put them in water to keep them fresh. Like human beings, they can exist for long periods on water alone, as the liquid forms a considerable portion of their bulk, says the Strand magazine. The drinking capabilities of plants vary a great deal, and a a recent scientific exhibition held at Surbiton, England, some ingenious devices were shown to register the different actions of plant life. The apparatus consists of a twin glass tube with a coll formation at the base. The flower is' placed through a cork into the water in the upper end of the branch tube, and the lower end, which is inserted in a vessel filled with water, is lifted out and replaced, thus allowing an air bubble to enter the tube. As the plant drinks the water the bubble is forced along the colled glass tube as fresh water enters behind it, and the amount taken by the flower is, of course, the quantity behind the globe. Proved Worth of Invention "Shortly after Galvani's invention came out he visited America, and with a latter of introduction called upon Dr. Doane, medical officer to the Bank of New York," writes a correspondent of the London Chronicle. "He found the family in distress at the death of the infant son. Galvani asked to be allowed to try his battery; the child revived and was christened Galvani Doane. His father was a cousin of Longellow." PRIZED RELIC OF COLUMBUS Ancient Ceiba Tree Which Sheltered Him on His First Voyage of Discovery. Santo Domingo City—On the river bank at Santo Domingo City, capital of the Dominican Republic, below the ruined city wall stands the ancient Coliba tree to which Christopher Columbus tied his water-logged and sinking caravels when he sought refuge in the river on his first voyage of discovery. This tree, already more than a century old when the discoverer landed, bears imbedded in its bark a leaden plate inscribed and placed there by Columbus, claiming the country for the king of Spain. On the heights above is the venerable A It S sheltered Columbus. (Old Celtia tree in Santo Domingo to which he tied his sinking carvings on his first voyage to the new world. The tree is 80 years old and is carefully guarded by the government of Santo Domingo.) ruln of the Casa de Colon, the first building of European construction in the western hemisphere. The gianu Celba is regarded with veneration by the natives and is protected under a special act of the Dominican congress. It was known to the Indians as the "council tree" and in its shade the Spanish conquerors signed the numerous treaties with the then powerful tribes of the interior, which were always violated at the first opportunity by the Spaniards. Of these original inhabitants it is known, as they were practically exterminated during the 200 or more years of Spanish domination. Within the great buttressed trunk of the Celba, hollow now with age, there is room for half a dozen persons to stand erect. Each year the tree is carefully inspected for signs of disease or decay and the trunk whitewashed to protect the bark from insect pests. LONG CHASE AFTER BAD MAN Bold Horse Thief and Highwayman Will Not Trouble Idaho Any More. Gooding, Idaho.—The horse thief and stickup man that has been making free with the peace of three counties was apprehended at Galena, a ranger station about thirty-five miles north of Ketchum. The follow, who was given a different name every time he was asked, stole a horse and saddle from a barn at Bliss, rode from there to Camas prairie and held up a saloon. He then returned to Bliss via the shearing corrals in the mountains, where he raised cain generally. Constable Pinkham of Bliss, noticing that he answered the description of the man wanted, arrested him and took him to the hotel and phoned for Sheriff Bliss at Gooding. While phoning, the prisoner walked out and when pursued took a shot at Pinkham with his rifle, of which the constable had neglected to relieve him. Pinkham abandoned the chase and nothing was done till Sheriff Bliss took up the trail. He tracked the man by means of an oddly shaped horseshoe and followed him nearly to Gooding, then north over the Sawtooth Mountains and up Willow Creek. The forest rangers were notified to watch for the man and horse and when he showed up at Galena he was invited to stay all night. It was his intention to do so until a second ranger appeared on the scene, but when he attempted to leave the invitation was repeated at the point of a revolver. The sheriff arrived half an hour later. TOWN HAS FAMINE IN WOMEN Only One of the Fair Sex to Every Two Men in Edmonton, Canada. Edmonton, Alberta.—Thomas Walker, city assessor, says in an official report submitted to Mayor William Short and the council, that the civic census just completed shows a population May 1, as compared with 52,611 on census just completed show a population of 67,342 in the city proper on June 1, 1912, an increase approximating 25 per cent. The Dominion census, taken in 1911, gave Edmonton and Strathcona, now merged, a total population of 30,462. The correctness of the census was challenged at the time as being too low. Analysis of the figures for 1913 shows there are 28,469 males and 15,999 females over twenty-one years of age; 10,991 males and 10,869 females under twenty-one years and 915 unclassified, while on June 1, 1912, there were 22,630 males and 11,452 females over twenty-one years of age, 8,247 males and 8,591 females under twenty-one years, and 2,691 unclassified. Canary Bird a "Wild Beast" New York.—Magistrate MacAdoo classed a canary with "wild beasts" when he told Jacob Sandrack that no one can legally claim ownership to a wild bird or animal at large. Sandrack applied for a permit to search the rooms of a neighbor who refused to return the bird when it flew into the place. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER WHEN ALL SIGNS FAIL By CARRIE CLARKE. Helene Ramsoy was extremely superstitious, and had every omen of good or had luck systematically cataloged in the pigeonholes of her memory, and her days were spent trying to offset any calamity predeestined by the illomen. Struggle about her neck were several Egyptian amulets of good fortune; a four-leafed clover disposed in the left shoe; a rabbit's paw occupied the inside pocket of her jacket; on her right hand was worn a moonstone ring; the god Billiken grinned his approval of her devout-worship at the shrine of luck from his throne on her dressing table. Helene was a fair vision as she stood before the oval mirror drawing a comb through her wavy bronze hair. She was dressing to receive Billy Paxton, who came twice a week to "bring a box of candy and pay his respects to mother," as Helene would tell you should you display curiosity enough to ask her. The last hairpin was finally placed in position, and Helene raised the comb 'to arrange a few refractory tresses, when it fell from her hand to the floor. "A disappointment," she said almost tearfully, and, going to the door, called: "Betty! Betty, come here, I want you!" "Her younger sister appeared. "Please, dear pick up that comb for me." Betty did as she was bid, grumbling the while. "You and your old superstitions! I thought by your tragic voice something dreadful had happened, or I never would have come." Then she left the room with this parting shot of sarcasm: "Be careful tonight. Helene, dear, for it is new moon. Look at it over your right shoulder—or is it the right? It keeps one busy to remember correctly all the unfailing signs. I will not see you any more this evening, so pleasant dreams. I am going to read." Helene domned her frock and looked critically at her reflection, and knew that she was looking better than usual. Blue always was becoming, and Billy admired this more than any of her other gowns. Helene wondered if he cured very deeply for her. It would be such a satisfaction to know, for during the three years of their friendship Billy had never once become sentimental enough to declare his devotion, but week after week maintained that comfortable, intimate, heart-stone affection which is very grailly, but which no girl of normal discrimination could mistake for love. Helene had reached a stage where Billy puzzled her, and she wanted to know what thoughts, concerning herself, lurked behind his gray eyes and placid countenance. In the midst of these reflections the doorbell rang, and she descended as the maid ushered Billy Paxton to the drawing room. Helene found him ensconced in his customary armchair, but he arose to greet her as she entered. After the usual pleasanties had been exchanged, he said: "Do you mind going for a walk, Helene? The night is glorious as only a June, rose-scented night can be. I want you to come unprotestingly to wherever I care to lead you. Do you consent?" "Is this to be an adventure that you speak so gravely, sir knight? If so, I trust myself entirely to your protection and we will start immediately." And they suited the words to action. When she reached the open Helene scanned the heavens for the moon, and saw it over the wrong shoulder; then a black cat ran across the path and an owl hooted mournfully in the sycamore tree. A queer creepy sensation danced up and down Helene's spinal vertebrae, and she felt her pocket to see whether the rabbit's foot was there, but it was not. Crossing the park they started the peacocks that had roosted for the night, and these disagreeable fowls rent the peaceful air with their demoniac shrieks. Helene clutched Billy's arm in frantic terror. "Let us return; I am really frightened." "Nonsense," said the phlegmatic Billy, "you are coming with me." On he led her, never pausing until they reached the hedge surrounding a pretty house. Then Billy spoke again. "This is the parsonage, Helene, and I have arranged (for the minister to marry us tonight). For a long time I have loved you, but hesitated to tell you because I knew that you would never select a wedding day until all the signs pointed to luck, and that would mean months of waiting, for this is 1913—your objection number one." "But I don't want to marry you," gasped Helene. "I am afraid." "O, yes you do, and you must get over your fear. Give me your hand, Helene!" She tremblingly obeyed, and over the third finger of $f_{r}$ her left hand he slipped a ring. Helene shuddered as she saw the opal surrounded with diamonds, but somehow the glittering band silenced her misgivings and a strange joy crept into her heart. They mounted the steps to the veranda and Helene saw the number above the door—it was 1313. Then Billy clasped her in his arms and kissed her lips and eyes. "Be brave now, dearest, I took this way because I love you and want to prove how foolish your superstitions are. Ours will be a happy marriage, for I mean to make it so." Helene touched the bell and smilingly said, "This is the time when all signs fall." The door opened and they passed within. It was Friday, the thirteenth. One Man Benefited. Jukes—"Who was the best man at the wedding?" Jenkins—"Well, I'm not sure. The bride's father got all the bills to pay, the bridegroom had to buy diamond broaches for the bridesmalds, the guests had to give handsome presents; upon my word, I think the best man was the clergyman—he was the only one who made anything out of it."

The young girl had been engaged as an amanuensis by a society woman. She discovered that nearly every day the husband and wife had a quarrel, so she gave notice that she was going to leave. "Why?" inquired the lady, in surprise. "Oh, you don't need an amanuensis, madam," replied the girl: "What you want is a war correspondent."

The evening hour was devoted to praise and consecration, and many briltiant and encouraging experiences were given, ‘The sixty-sixth anniversary of the chureh was held on Tuesday even- ing and was a inost excellent affair and was a decided credit to the la- dies of the Progressive Club, under whose auspices it was given. Among those who took a prow: inent part on the program were the following: Mrs. Nora F. Taylor, Dr. J.T. Jenifer, Dr. Timothy Reeves, Dr. R. A. Adams, J. W. McDowell, M. D., Maj. RR. Jackson, Dr. H.

HEAD- QUARTERS. ‘The general lockout of the build- ing trades has been declared off, the marble setters’ strike is over and all the unfinished work at the Y. M. C. A. is underway. The fourth and fifth floor baths and the swimming pool will soon bo ready and the reopening announced, Already the building is a busy place. Most of the one hun- dred and two rooms are taken and ail the men are delighted with the modern and sanitary home, and it is a real delight to walk through the halls and see some men studying, hear some playing thelr pianos and violins and others singing with the real Joy of living, and still others planning for night classes in the fall. It doesn’t take long to find that the Y. M. ©. A. ts serving its purpose. It is giving the men a real chance. It is expected that at least three ‘hundred men will be full mombers be- fore August 1, because so many are anxious to take advantage of the charter membership rates of ten dol- jlars, ‘The Sunday, meetings continue to be well attended, Seventy-five and eighty men are here every Sun- day to hear the lectures and join in the singing led by Prof. Tinsley, Prot.

The physteal work is in charge of Mr. Owen R. Jeffers, a grad- uate and experienced director. ‘Then to round up all these attractions there is the restaurant. It has simply put the “strangle hold" on the men; those hot bisenits and pies, tender roasts and highly seasoned vegetables | and rich ice creams have cast a spell from whlch nobody is trying to re-| cover. The boys’ division Is very much In evidence these days. ‘The average attendance is thirty a day and many are saving up to get their joining fee, Last Saturday twenty-five were taken to Washington Park to play ball, then to Jackson Park for a swim. ‘There is a hike and ball game each Saturday.

P. Morgan had the blood of the Ulster-Scot in is veins, as your correspondent hints at, says the writer of a letter to the editor of the New York Tribune. The Scotch-Irish were even more Seottish than the Scotch themselves—stern, shrewd, energetic and thoroughly reliable. When James VI. of Scotland—James 1. of England—offered facilities for the settlement of Ulster, thousands of Scots availed thomselves of the chance, and by their energy helped to transform that district into a garden of Ireland, Belfast, one of the most peaceful and prosperous citles in the world, {a nothing more or less than = second Glasgow.

George Ensor, a business man of this eity, while fishing near Mountain« dale, a Piedmont, W. Va. dispateb to the New York Herald states, was at- tacked by snakes, which. came from a rotten log on which he was sitting, and before he could veat them off the reptiles had entwined themselves about him, binding his arms, bands ‘and fect. The snakes, more than a ‘dozen in number, meastred from four to six feet in length. Mr. Ensor, after vainly endeavoring to work his arms and feet loose, had (he presence of mind to roll down a hill Into a fire he had built to cook his breakfast. His clothes caught fire and the snakes, scorched and sizzling, untwined from hls body and made for the old log. Mr. Bnsor ran to the stream and threw himself into the wa- ter, extinguishing his burning clothes.

CHURCH DIRECTORY. VISITING. Again let us remind mothers and fathers that the parks make much more healthful playgrounds for the children than the public streets and fithy alleys, and it is one way of reducing doctor bills. On the editor's desk is a volume of poems by Fenton Johnson, entitled "A Little Dreaming." Mr. Johnson is one of the brightest young men of our race, and letters from him in the field of letters is especially commendable. The book is worthy of a place in every man's library. The Defender congratulates Mr. Johnson and predicts a large sale of the volume. There are few things that are allowed to go unchallenged nowadays, and a paper or magazine writer who boasts of accomplishments along any line and fails to give credit to the colored man or woman, is in a fair way of being reminded that he has overstated something, and the informant proceeded to tell the same time rub in the fact that he is a necessary evil in assisting in the discovery of the North Pole or blazing a path up San Juan Hill. APPOMATTOX CLUB A POWER The members of the Appomattox Club have the right idea regarding the coming celebration, they regard a white exposition as impractical and advocate the forming of a national organization. There is no one state either here or in the south that can make a probable showing by itself of the material from each state can we show to the material progress we have made. The legislatures have been most liberal in their appropriations, and many have shown a willingness to aid even further. The committees appointed by the governors in the main have been representative of both races. There seems to be a little undercurrent of good fellowship, a sort of a "show us what you have done" spirit. The different expositions and celebrations will be as much of an eye opener to our own race as it doubles will to our own race. We also consider themselves fairly intelligent know what the race has done or what they are doing today? And yet we should be as familiar with such things as we are with an American historical fact, for the Negro plays an important part in American history, in fact there is no American history without the Negro. For your own good and the good of others read and know myself. There is nothing so convincing as proof. Chicoagans are never carried away with a little linsel and glamor; good sound judgment is displayed nevertheless. We need the Negro exposed. We want nothing but success and if we cannot attain it alone we are broad enough to gather around us the world's best to council and aid us. The Appomattox Club acts as Chicago's balance wheel and when they are out of adjustment the whole works stop. A DREAM REALIZED. The announcement that the gymnasium of the Wabash avenue department of the Y. M. C. A. is ready for classes should meet with a hearty response from all classes of men and boys in Chicago. As a race we need a healthy body as well as an active mind to take advantage of the opportunities awaiting us, the well known athletes many deaths in the city of Chicago as any other race should impel us to take advantage of every opportunity to conserve our health. Until the first of August membership will be $10; after that it will be slightly increased. You cannot afford not to be a member of this organization which means so much to you and to the community at large. The Y. M. C. A. needs your support, deserves your support. Give us your support, having such a splendid edifice devoted to the uplift of the race, and now that our dreams are realized, we repeat, give it your support. KEEPING THEM GUESSING One of the many good things the Negro National Educational Congress which recently met in Kansas City, Mo. did was to adopt the resolution that no Negro hereafter should vote his tickets straight. In 1910 the census showed that there were something like 2,458,257 of voting age in this country, or 9.1 per cent. This was three years ago and the number has been materially increased since then. It can be readily seen we are an important factor in politics and well worth making overtures to. The Republicans up until the past election soul, so made no especial effort to cater to us. Occasionally we were allowed to pick up the crumbs that fell from the political table and if we cried for a larger helping we were fed on golden promises. The Democrats have promised us nothing and up to date they have kept their promise. But for our own benefit we must be an uncertain commodity, on the auction block again, as it were, going to the highest bidder, not of dollars and cents but of liberty and justice. Fifty years of so-called freedom has brought us to a realization of the fight in living and aroused the fighting blood in our veins, and from now on we will be content with nothing short of what the other fellow enjoys in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. GETTING RESULTS. The benefit derived from judicious advertising perhaps can best be brought home to us by referring to the unprecedented crowd which filled to overflowing the huge Seventh Regiment Armory to hear the famous Tuskegee Band. The management spent very little for hand bills or window display, but relied upon the power of the press. The Defender brought into thousands of homes the tidings that the Tuskegee Band was to be here on such a date, and one read it so much it was fixed in their minds. They attained and advised their friends to do likewise. We have learned from our success. We have tried to make our merchants see the advisability of advertising and have made special inducements, but save in isolated cases our efforts were in vain. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee, is alive to the situation and keeps his institution constantly before the people. He appointed Cary B. Lew, better known the "The Press," as publicity agent and promoter for the band, and results prove that no better selection could be made. It is the same old story we have seen in these columns for years—if you goods let the people know about it—and there is but one way to do it successfully: select the paper with the largest circulation and advertise, advertise. BELITTLING THE RACE. A writer who evidently is ashamed to sign his name is trying in his feeble way to show that education is a detriment to the race. We would take no note of the ravings of such a narrow bigoted space writer it not for the fact that it was syndicated and a number of "yellow" journals copied it and tried to make capital of it. He regrets that education is so generously lavished upon us at the expense of the whites for it has turned mental servants into industrial equals and competitors. If the writer but knew he was paying us a high compliment he would tear his own hair out. Of course we are their industrial equals and education has made us so. The genius of both races are still using wheel or plowing with a crooked stile. He says in part: "At the base of all this hubbub called the race problem is the steadily increasing disinclination to do menial labor. Try as we will to shut our eyes to the truth, it is a labor problem at bottom. No sane white man or woman has at heart any real fear that social equality of the races will ever come about. The real thing which is objected to and which is at hand, is industrial equality. The situation came home in full force when in a Southern city a crowd of striking union Negroes fed into a squab of white men who had gone to take their places." Shades of white men have anyone ever before heard such an argument? These were union men guarding their own positions, and "scabs," we believe that is the term white union men apply to those trying to take their places, came to drive them out. The general impression is that it is a poor rule that don't work both ways. Just what stand the parent union body took is a question; there is no rhyme or reason to the things they do in the South. The Jew, the Irish and the German people have a firm determination to stop on the stage or in the newspaper any attempt to poke fun at or belittle their race and we must do likewise. Write your protest to every manager of a theater or newspaper whenever the occasion arises and the results will be immeasurable. AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION When former Attorney General Albert E. Pilllsbury received a request from the American Bar Association to pay his dues, he replied in part as follows: "As I cannot respond in the usual form to your reminder of the annual dues, you are entitled to know my reasons. The action of the association at Milwaukee and the conduct of the executive committee which preceded it, in trying to expel the colored members in open disregard of the constitution, and when this attempt failed, in drawing the color line by application of the gag, against all other colored lawyers equally entitled to admission under the constitution, dissolved my relations with the association, colored cornphobes, with the help of the usual subservient Northern majority, have captured it and turned it into a sort of Bourbon club. As the association which I joined has ceased to exist, I am relieved from paying it the formal compliment of resigning my membership." If anything could be more to the point we should like to see it. Attorney Pilllsbury is no cad, nor is he permitting himself to be fumozed into doing things against all principles of law and justice. His resignation is but the forerunner of many others from that supposedly just-loving association. The word "har" is especially appropriate in this word. It is derived from the word BARBUM, to be a Southern term meaning to burn out. The word "crackers" at Lynchburg, Va., are given credit for coining the word Every member of this association who voted to exclude the colored attorneys from their ranks should bow his head in shame and pray when the end comes he will not be meted out the same kind of justice he accorded his colored brother. LITTLE STORIES OF SUCCESS The Man Who Failed. Tuskegee, Ala., July 25—Back in the days when the cook for the students at Tuskegee was done out of doors in pots, and the principal entrance requirement was a “desire to make something of himself,” a young man, Jailous Perdue, came there to get an education. He was financially poor and intellectually dull. Examinations he could not pass. After struggling along for several years and accumulating a lot of examination failures he decided to quit school, go to work and help educate his sisters. Although he had failed in his literary subjects, he had, nevertheless, got an inward help to use his hands. He had learned to be a carpenter. Out in the world he went and began to work at his trade. As soon as he had earned a little money he picked three of his sisters in school at Tuskegee, and with the help of his brother, Augustus, who had graduated there, paid their expenses; of two of them for three years and of one for four years. In the meantime Jailous had succeeded at his trade and gone into business for himself at Montgomery, Aha., as a contractor and builder. Here also he was successful, and did millions of dollars' worth of work. No job was too small nor too large for him to make a bid on. If he did not have a job, he was not above working for some, and as a result he was always busy. He has superintended the construction of some of the largest buildings in Montgomery. Among the buildings the erection of which he has superintended are the Exchange Hotel at a cost of $150,000, the First National Church at a cost of $175,000, the First National Bank building at a cost of $550,000, and the Bell building at a cost of $450,000. Mr. Perdue also assisted as foreman or assistant foreman in important buildings at Tuskegee Institute such as the principal's house, the chapel, the library, Rockefeller Hall, the academic building and the Millbank agricultural building. It is hardly necessary to say in passing that Mr. Perdue has accumulated property or that he owns a good house in Montgomery, for in these progressive days every black man in the South with any foresight is investing some part of his earnings in property. The most interesting and somewhat remarkable thing about the career of Mr. Perdue and the greatest measure of his success is that he is now a member of the faculty at Tuskegee Institute. Twenty-three years after he had left there a literary failure he was invited to come back as an instructor in carpentry. Thus it was that the man who failed succeeded, and returned to the scene of his fallen successes. (This is the first of a series of six stories written for the Chicago Defender.

We should buy more fruits and less meats. We should use more fruits in our diet than we do, especially during this season of the year, because they contain great nutritive properties as a food. Although fruits are not as high in nutritive value as cereals, they in many instances answer the purpose as well as the cereals. They are much easier of digestion. Fruits contain starches, acids, fruit sugar and distilled water, all of which are very essential to good health; they also contain fats which with the starches furnish heat and energy for the body; they also contain proteins which are used in the development and repair of the tissues of the body the same as other proteins; and also, nearly all fruits contain sugars and water in the body. These fruit sugars are easily digested, in fact, they pass immediately into the blood without much action of the digestive secretions. The water that comes from fruits, or fruit juice, is pure distilled water and never needs to be filtered, and is a bverage of the highest order. The poisonous properties of fruits are contained in the rinds or feelings or the outside portion; therefore, all fruits should be peeled or skinned before consumption. Fruits for Breakfast. It is a good idea to use a little fruit before breakfast, luncheon and just before going to bed at night. An orange before breakfast, a peeled apple or a little lemon juice in a glass of cold water will often act as a good appetizer, a stimulant to the juices of the stomach, and a laxative to the bowels. In a bad, sour, fermenting stomach, I know of nothing more refreshing than this condition than a glass of unfermented, unsweetened fruit juice. In fact, the juice of fruits is a good microbe killer. We have very few better germ destroyers than fruit juices, as nearly all ordinary germs are quickly destroyed by the juice of fruits. Fruits also contain cellulose, which is the woody portion of food, and of great value in constipation. Not all stomachs can tolerate the acidity of many of the fruits. Some have a high degree of acidity and others a low degree. Take, for instance, apples and oranges. With a very high degree of acidity, but most apples are pleasant and nourishing to the system. Apples, Apricots and Bananas. Apples and raisins with a little sugar added if apples are acid, make a very appetizing dish. Apple sauce is also a splendid dish and is always in order and is very nourishing. Baked apples are easy of digestion and contain considerable nutritive properties. Dried apples are higher in nutritive value but more difficult to mastigate because the water has been evaporated and also more difficult of digestion. Apples are our most common well known fruit; they contain proteins and **carbohydrates**, also from 15 to 20 per cent of fruit sugar dissolved in pure distilled water which is taken up immediately by the blood and assimilated. An ounce of pure fruit juice contains more than half as many heat units as an ounce of lean meats and is not fraught with, half so much danger to the secreting organs of the body. Apricots contain not so many of the fats and protein properties as apples, but much more cellulose properties, which are good for constipation. Cooked apricots are more acid than the fresh, ripe apricots, due to some chemical change in the cooking. Apricots contain but very little protein and are not good muscle builders. Bananas as a food more nearly resemble cereals than fruits, since they like cereals contain much starch and not so much sugar and little fats and salts; they also contain very little cellulose, the woody properties of fruits; hence, bananas are very constipating whether taken on an empty or a full stomach, whereas, as a rule, bananas are not constipating some people, bananas cause intestinal disturbances simulating diarrhea, but they are not laxative in the pure sense of the term. You must chew your banana very well. The more thoroughly you masticate this fruit the more easily your stomach will digest it and the less likely you will become constipated after eating them. It is best to bake your bananas before eating. Don't give your children raw bananas. Taboo bananas and cream, which is so popular in the Greek ice cream parlor. Away with the banana split. Question. Mrs. E. T. C. writes: I am troubled with constipation. My bowels move only once a week, then they are hard and I have to force them with much straining and bearing down. Have doctor's medicine and many home doctors trained to give Christian Science, but have gotten relief. Are fruits good, and will you name some fruits that will help you condition? What would you advise? Reply. Maybe you have used too much medicine and Christian Science. Yes, fruits are good. Some fruits are very good aids if properly used. Among the berries, eat raspberries, apples, cherries, apricots, grapefruits which is not only good for constipation but for malaria, as they contain quinine, and above all, don't forget to eat figs, dried or ripe; for figs of varies from Some co each other too late th all fruits stand at the top as a laxative. I would advise drinking plenty of water at meal time and between meals; attend promptly to the calls of Nature. Walk, ride horse back, run, play tennis and get out in the backyard and have an old-fashioned rope jumping. Massage the bowels, roll over and over on the floor ten times without stopping, go regularly every morning at a certain time to the bath room, read while waiting Nature. An anemone of very cold water often stimulates the coolest and expulsive power of the bowels. If you are not relieved then, there is something serious and I would advise you to see your physic clan. Press Service, Department of Health. A nosed medical authority has said that only one man in a million dies a natural death. We should live until one hundred and forty years of age. A man who dies at seventy or eighty years is the victim of an accident and is deprived of the forty or fifty years that Nature still owes him. In 1837 Sidney Smith wrote: "I am convinced that digestion is the great secret of life; and that character, talents and virtues are powerfully affected by beef, mutton, pie crusts and rich soups." In 1834, Dr. Andrew Blyth said: "When by successive researches the science of diet has become better understood, with helpful advice, discarding all drugs and treating all maladies by cutting off certain foods and by surfacing with others. There are diets," says the same authority, "for every age, for every climate, for every species of work, physical or mental; there are diets by which discases may be prevented or cured; there are diets fitted for some constitutions, injurious to; diets which make the skin the frame vigorous and the spirit jovial; there are face with wrinkles, speckle the body with eruptions and make the form lean, hollow and prematurely old." In an article on digestive disorders, Dr. D. H. Kress, editor of Life and Health, says: "Very few persons reach adult life without the consciousness of possessing a stomach. Americans," he says, "possess the reputation of being a race of dyspeptics. It is safe to eat a diet rich in many five-per cent of them are affected with some form of digestive disorders. Back of nearly every form of these ailments is the food, and back of these is the cook. What the inmates of the home are physically and morally may usually be determined by what the cook is. Give us a diet rich in the necessary cooks and the cure of incontinence of all the dyspeptics may be assured without medicinal treatment." Are you still fighting the fly? Do you permit these nasty, dangerous pests to invade your home? Remember the war is on for all the summer and autumn months; also, do not forget that files carry the germs of disease as a dog does fleas. The only reason for you to do is to exclude them from your home, but they are few communities in Chicago so clean that files can find no breeding places in them, so there are flies everywhere. Files carry typhoid, dysentery, tuberculosis, diphtheria, epidemic sore eyes, cholera, etc. They are dangerous for the reason that it is known they spread disease. The most efficient way to fight flies is to remove their breeding places. Files breed in fifth. Remove the fifth and the flies will soon disappear. When the weather is hot; don't worry. Keep your temper; it will help you to keep cool. Use plenty of water both inside and outside. Don't eat too much. Keep regular hours. Stay out of doors as much as possible. Don't look at a thermometer. Take the shady side of the street and don't hurry. Alone Twenty-Four Years. It was stated on an inquest on a woman at Newington, England, recently that she had been a tenant of Ponytails, Blacktarians, for 24 years, and the porter said he had power known her to have a visitor. Her sister happened to call, and at her request he burst the door open and found the woman dead. Further evidence showed that the cause of death was bronchitis, and that the woman had been dead for two days. POINT is important.

But the Point is Important No Uniform Weight for Sal TOO LATE (Third of a series of articles written expressly for The Chicago Democrat. In the article last week the writer has been read instead of four,"--Rd. By Elder W. D. Forde In the article preceding this it was shown that by the Semitic branch of the human family was the knowledge of the true God handed down to man, and that the particular family of this branch thus used were the Hebrews. But whence came civilization? Who were the founders of civil government whereby social order is maintained and the sacred rights of the family protected? Which group of the three great divisions of the human family has transmitted civilization? Which denomination of the races discovered the elements of art, science, and fostered industry? Ask them of the average man today, and he respond by pointing to the peoples of the world. Is not the Caucasian the indispensable propagator of civilization? Does he not issue laws to the inferior races, and control almost wholly the territories of the earth? Does he not control the lever of industry, and is he not the world's great pedagogue in art, science, and general culture? He, therefore, is the apostle of civilization, the founder of civil government, the discoverer of art and science. This argument which is popularly presented is generally taken as granted. They take, however, a great many things taken or granted in this world which are found from being true, and this argument is not true. Let us, therefore, search into the archives of historic facts and we shall there obtain the truth. The people whom we term Caucasian began to occupy their present location in the middle of the fourth century. The historian Gibbon in the first volume of his great work, "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire," speaks of these people as being at that time "hostile tribes of barbarians of force manners and unknown language." About the middle of the fourth century they swooped down upon the Roman empire, and by the year 476 A. D. the empire was completely divided among them. The present nations of Europe are the offspring of these. The French are the offspring of the French armies of the Allenan; the Swiss of the Burgundians; the Portuguese of the Suevii; the Saxons of the Visigoths; the British of the Angles and Saxons; the Italians of the Herulian. After having conquered Rome, these nations were, under the influence of the conquered, converted to the civilization and religion of Rome. It is, therefore, evident, that, for anyone to claim that the modern nations of Europe are the apostles of civilization is not only a most glaring error, but also a reflection on his knowledge of historic facts. The present condition of the European states is, therefore, the result of an evolutionary process as history attests. Since, therefore, these states received their civilization from Rome, may we not then conclude that to the Romans must be given the credit as the first apostles of civilization? It would be just as reflective on one's historic knowledge to thus conclude, that the authentic history, instance, for the authentic history, instance, does not begin until about the Shc culture C, and we are all acquainted with the fact that the ship of civilization had centuries before this started on her voyage; furthermore, we know that Rome copied from the schoolmen and statesmen of Greece, and that Greece passed on to Rome much that later made Rome great. In fact, those historians are of the opinion that Rome was originally in some Grecian stock. It is therefore, a historical fact that this honor cannot be given Rome, neither has she ever claimed it. Since Rome, therefore, received her civilization from Greece, may not this honor be accorded her? Surely, we have reached the solution to this seemingly puzzling question. A thousand years ago, the Greek civilization of the Greekian states; ye, long before Athens and Sparta began to display their genius, civilization was faunting her flag along the region of the Nile and in the territories of Nubia and Abyssinia, the primitive homes of the Egyptians and Ethiopians. History affirms in distinct tones that the black man has, beyond the shadow of a doubt passed on to the nations of the earth the institution of civilization. Sayes Sayes, the hispanic are heirs of the civilized past, and the white are the ones that civilized past, was the creation of ancient Egypt." From the eloquent pen of Goodrich comes the following: "Letters, the great instrument of improvement, the key that 'first unlocked the human mind, were invented in Egypt; and here science had taken over the development. Here, also, was the creation of a whirlpool of arts, which afterwards passed into Greece." Painter, in his "History of Education," states the following: "The ancients looked upon Egypt as a school of wisdom. Greece sent thither illusorious philosophers and law-givers—Pythagoras and Plato; Lycurgus and Solon to complete their studies. * * * Hence, even the Greeks in ancient times were accustomed to borrow their politics and their learning from the Egyptians." Again, I quote from Goodrich: "There is no doubt that this singular nation (the Egyptians) had affinity with a high degree of refinement and luxury at a time when the whole western world was involved in barbarism; when the history of Europe, including Greece, had not yet begun and long before Carthage, Athens, and Rose were thought of." He continues: "So conscious were the nations of her superiority in learning, that most of the illustrious men of other countries visited Egypt. either with a view of comparing his institutions with those of their respective states, or of acquiring new information. It was here that He nearly a thousand years B. C. gered materials for song, and hav. refined and expanded his subl: gentus with Egyptian lore, produce his immortal poems. He Solon and Lyourgus found the archetypes of the lore and the chic excellences of which he borrowed from the Egyptian polity. * The polity of the Egyptians was equal to their skill in arts and sciences. Speaking of the industrial skill of the Egyptians, Rawlinson says: "It is doubtful whether the steam saving of the present day could be trusted to produce in ten years from the quarries of Aberdeen a single obolisk such as those which the Pharaohs set up by dozens. Thus it is established beyond the shadow of a doubt that the Mint branch of the human family has passed and passed on to posterity the institution of civilization just as the Semitic has passed on the true system of religious worship. In the following article it will be shown that the Negro has performed this mission side by side with his Egyptian brother. From Our Exchanges The Door of Hope The Quincy Herald, which we count distinguished among Illinois papers for its fresh editorial treatment of "human interest" themes, painted a vivid little picture the other day which is worth throwing on the screen. The editorial was entitled, "The Color Line," and read as follows: We have in Quincy a young colored man, at present acting as a porter in a cairn and billard parlor, who has a college education. He is a graduate of Lincoln College of Jef-ferry Mo, and passed through the college with honors. In addition to his education, the young man is a hunter, doing everything that comes his way with neatness and dispatch. He is a good penman, and entitled to a position of trust requiring an education. What the future of youths of this class is to be is one of the great problems of the age. In foreign countries he could take rank with his white brothers, but here the color line stands like a great wall and the future. He has just passed the service examination and is on the list for the position of fireman in the government building. The Bourbon reply to such a situation is, usually, that this young colored man "ought to have learned a trade," but if he does learn a trade the labor unions won't let him work at it. Quincy has a large colored population, but there probably isn't a colored man there laying bricks or handling a plane. Furthermore, it is simply intolerable, this suggestion that a democracy should enforce an occupational segregation, like India with its castes. It won't work. The only solution (that will work for ja.s) is to occupations to men according to their ability and ability not according to race. The problem of "educating the black man" includes the problem of educating the white man in some of the fundamentals of his highly prized and rightly prized democracy. —The Chicago Evening Post.

WITH THE TRUE REFORMERS. The Chicago division of the Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers will hold their regular summer campaign commencing August 23 and lasting through August 28, at which time Mr. Floyd Doss, the Grand Worthy Master of the and Fountain, from Richmond, Va., will go, in company with other chief representatives, in some of the most important jurisdictions of Chicago division, as well as Chicago proper. This campaign will be for the purpose of explaining to the people the progress which the organization has made, as well as to permit new members to enter at special rates. The records in the Chicago office show that the organization has made an unparalleled record within the last twenty-two months, and is blotting out some of its obligations very rapidly. If things continue to move on in the same direction as they have been moving recently there will be no reason why Chicago will not take its place in the foremost ranks among the organizations of the race. Mrs. M. J. Robinson and Miss Harriett Robinson, two representatives of the True Reformers of Morgan Park, were in the city this week on matters pertaining to the organization. From their reports, all indications show that Morgan Park will be represented in the thirty-third annual session of the Grand Fountain, which will convene in Richmond, Va., September 23, 24 and 25. The following delegates have already been booked for Richmond in September: Messrs. Walter Mounday and Z. T. Green; Mesdames Lou Ella Young, Sadie Morton, Margaret Harris, Mattie Ely, Anna Lyles and Anna Goodson, with others that are to be elected. Special arrangements will be made in order to take care of these delegates traveling from the West. MITCHELL-THOMPSON. Miss Ada Lou Mitchell, 4022 Wabash avenue, was married to Mr. George Thompson on Wednesday evening. It was a quiet affair, only intimate friends being present. Rev. Massiah performed the wedding ceremony. C. O. D. "I feel that I have an important message for the world," declared the young man. "Send it collect," advised the practical friend.—Buffalo Express.

Its Disappearance Something of a Mystery to Mr. Jones, Though He Is a Roast of Beef to It was found necessary to do away with the family cat because she had developed germs and the doctor said it was dangerous for the children. But this cat was the children's particular pet, so it was decided simply to have her disappear, with no funeral or flowers or juvenile tears or a tombstone in the back yard. Accordingly the animal was chloroformed and then Mr. Jones did the remains up in a neat parcel of convenient shape and took them along when he started for his place of business in the city in the morning, intending to drop the package in the river. In the train before the river was reached Mr. Jones saw the package reposing in the rack above his head and determined that was a good place to leave it. So when he started to get out of the car he did not take the package down. "Hey, there, Jones! You're leaving your package," called out a friend. So Jones turned back and got the package. On the boat he was surrounded by a number of friends and realized that to drop the bundle overboard in their presence would require a lot of explanation and doubled result in more or less joking at his expense. So he took the package to his office with him. He saw the impossibility of disposing of it there and determined to get rid of it on the boat during the trip back home. But there again he was surrounded by his friends of the morning trip and took the package to the train with him. An attempt to get off the car without it resulted just as it had in the morning. Mr. Jones thus found himself returning to his home with the bothersome bundle and he knew the children would meet him on the front porch and insist on knowing what it was. Accordingly he made his way home across the back lots, deposited the bundle on the kitchen porch and finally got to the front of the house without detection. Fifteen minutes after he had seated himself on the front porch with the solution of his great problem the cook appeared. "Mrs. Jones," said she, "what's dat extra roast of beef out on the back po'ch?" Mr. and Mrs. Jones both went back. Sure enough the bundle contained a six-pound roast of beef. It only remains to say this story is a true one. The thing happened as here written. Mr. Jones is still wondering whether the man with whom he somewhere exchanged bundles had much difficulty in posing of the remains of the dead cat. Many Like Smith. Robert C. McCready, a well known life guard of Long Branch, recounted some of his experiences as, brown and sturdy, he paced the wind-swept beach. "No, no," he said, "the average person you rescue doesn't give you a check for a million or offer you a partnership in his firm. The average person you rescue is like Smith. "A Philadelphia watchman, saved Smith's life one winter night when he fell off the Race street wharf. The watchman plunged into the icy water after him and only got him out after ten minutes' terrible work amid the floating ice. But Smith took the thing as a matter of course. 'I'd' done all right alone if I'd 'a' been able to swim,' he said. "A month or so later the watchman asked Smith to help him move a packing case. "Nit," said Smith. 'I ain't no horse.' "I done more for you," said the watchman, "one night when you drowning." "Yes," said Smith, hotly, "and you're no gentleman to cast it up to me now." How Cobb Got Fired. Many years ago Frank Parker was the telegraph editor of the St. Louis Chronicle. One of his valued correspondents was Irvin S. Cobb, who then added to his income by putting a Paducate date line over his fiction. One day Cobb sent in a particularly good story. Parker printed it. That night the boss came in swinging his head like a semaphore. "Look 'ut," the boss said, skipping a syllable here and there. "Lookut this! What suborned perjurer had this sort of a pipe dream?" Parker told him. "Fire him," said the boss, passionately. "Don't wait for a letter. Fire him by wire. Do it now." So Parker did it. By and by he received a reply from Mr. Cobb, in which the latter was somewhat plaintive. "I'm not complaining about being fired," Cobb wrote. "But I've been working for your sheet for six months—and I think it's hard luck to be fired for the only true story I ever sent you"—Kansas City Star. To Segregate "Stupids." Addressing the convention of alienists in session at Chicago, Dr. Henry H, Goddard of Vineland, N. J., declared that slow and weak-minded children should be segregated and receive a special education. He asserted that the average stupid child recruits the criminal class when he is brought up among normal children, whose education leaves him still ignorant. "Often the stupid child is the favored and petted one of the family, and many parents do not, or will-not, recognize that a child of theirs is mentally deficient," asserted the speaker. "The child thus becomes spoiled, and becomes a dangerous factor in society. "Twenty-five per cent. of the criminal class belong to the mentally backward; 60 per cent. of the prostitute class and 70 per cent. of the persons in reform institutions are mentally deficient—stupid."

The Grand. After the whirlwind bill at the Grand the previous week, the one presented the first part of this week' seemed rather tame, and yet when you come to analyze it the offering was above the average for houses of this kind. Five acts besides the pictures were presented, Fitzgibbon, a xylophonist; Newcomb and Williams in a-comedy skit entitled "A Country Sweetheart," Gen. Paul and Co. in a little every day playlet entitled "In-rig-tal-wrong," Davo Vine, monologuist, and Norris Baboons. Thompson, Cooper and Thompson, newcomers to the Grand but well and favorably known to Chicagoans, were on the last half of the week and cleaned up. Each member of the trio is an artist, so it was not surprising they made good. They are due for a return engagement in the near future. The State Theater. Just a week ago today the newest of South Side theaters, "The State, opened its doors to the public, and evidently the public were waiting for that very thing, for they have tested the seating capacity at every performance. The general admission price is 10 cents. First run pictures are shown and two or three good vaudeville acts given. The house is destined to be very popular. Sale of Pekin Theater. The famous Pekin Theater, the first legitimate colored playhouse in Amerien, was sold this week to George Holt, proprietor of the Brunswick Hotel. The purchase price was in the neighborhood of $20,000. The present occupants have a ten-year lease at a high rental, so Mr. Holt should worry. The public is deeply indebted to the late Robert T. Motts, who erected this playhouse that his people have a chance to display their talent along dramatic lines. The original stock company are scattered throughout the world, and each and every one has become headliners. Other cities have patterned after the Pekin and have creditable houses of amusement where members of the race can go without being discriminated against. The Passing Show in Washington. Washington, D. C., July 25.—Mr. George J. Dawson, a musical genius from Indianapolis, Ind., has written a musical comedy entitled, "La Collation," which he plans to present at the Howard theater some time this fall. He is also preparing for the press a volume of poems, covering a wide range of thought and purpose. Some of the verses touch the race problem from a philosophical angle, while others are sentimental and dramatic. "La Collation" has been copyrighted by Mr. Dawson. Manager A. J. Thomas is giving a series of fine shows, now that he has taken the booking of attractions in his own hands. He knows just what the progressive patrons of the Howard want. The now "talking pictures" proved a drawing card last week. The pictures can only sing now, but the invention will be so improved by and by that a number of persons will be represented as speakers, each having a voice suited to the character portrayed. The Brown Sisters, "Babe" and Maybelle, now doing vaudeville in the west, will be here soon to join the Smart Set, with which company they laid the foundation of the national reputation they have won on the stage. They are clever and versatile artists. The Smart Set will rehearse "The Wrong Mr. President" at Newport News, Va., S. Tutt Whitney's "old stamping grounds." The performers will get together some time in August. The new company will be built around the principal members of "The Southern Smart Set" of last year, and will work both the northern and southern circuits, specializing on "week stands" in the big cities and "bitting out" many of the one night stands formerly used. Salem Tutt Whitney, J. H. Homer Tutt, Russell Smith, Blanche Thompson, Ethel and Nina Marshall, Babe and Maybelle Brown and Nettie Taylor will all have parts especially fitted to their individual talents and the new comedy is said to abound in "timelight situations" for all who can do anything worth while. Harry Brown and Lulu Hodges made a host of friends during their recent engagement here. They had just returned to "the States" from Honolulu, working their way eastward from the Pacific coast, and have had a season of phenomenal success. They are the pioneers of the "cartoon and singing act," and are easily the topnotchers in the business, regardless of race. They appear as Indians and as such have played the best white circuits in the country and have pulled big salaries. Their sketches, made while singing appropriate selections, possess real artistic merit, and many are preserved as permanent relies by the performers who work on the bill with them. Brown and Hodges are at Atlantic City this week, and it is given out confidentially that a New York booking firm is negotiating with them for a long tour of Europe. T. Spencer Finley, after a success- l month in Richmond and Norfolk, is here, planning to start on a steward jaint, opening in Chicago next week. Mr. Finley has appeared some of the best shows on the ed., and is a comedian of original- and rare powers as a real humor- and Jones, in songs and a thrill- ecitation, the Miner Trio, Mon- o's trained cockatoos and Chifnu, imitator, made up a stellar bill at Howard last week. MANY-BRING SUCCESS. more women a man loves the he can make them believe it. Baston. Great Street Parade the Leading Feature. The testimonial given for the benefit of Columbus Bragg by the theatrical profession of Chicago on Friday was a huge success. The street parade, which started just as we were about to go to press, was a credit to the men who hope to make themselves felt in America, as is their predecessors, Williams and Walker. The Eighth Regiment band blazed the way and the streets were thronged the entire route of the line of march. A great mistake was made by the management by not having the advertisement published in the local papers; while the house had a fair audience, it could have been packed if papers that reach the homes of the people who patronize such had had notices in them. The crowds at the Sunday baseball game have begun to fall off because they won't publish in the race papers. While we know the Pekin attraction could not afford an ad of any size, if the ball clubs had an ad with each paper and paid them like they paid the daily papers, each paper could afford to publish an ad for the above cause, and in fact all charities far below cost. The management of the Pekin Theater tendered the house gratis. Mr. Frank George and Joe Shoecraft are the movers of this benefit and are deserving of great praise for their untiring effort in giving a helping hand to one who is down. The following program was rendered: Miller and Lyles in the cabaret, featuring Lizzie Wallace in the dance of the Spink: Cook and Bernard, Pekin Trio, Lottie Grady, Davis and Walker, Clarence M. Jones, palying the Danabegay waltz; Jordan and Joiner; Jerry Mills, in his own creation; Byron family; Lizzie Hart-Dorsey; 'Original Rags; Kid Brown, Johnny Woods; Walker, Goodbar and Leon Diggs; Billy Cumby, Bert Grant, Blonde Robinson, Chicken Reel Beeman, Goodloe and Goodloe, Billy Caldwell, and other celebrated artists too numerous to mention. Dave Peyton's celebrated augmented orchestra. Jerry Mills and H. C. Jenkins, stage managers. FOSTER'S MOVIES MAKE BIG HIT Mr. Poster's moving pictures of the Y. M. C. A. parade were shown to 4,000 people on Thursday evening and will be the attraction every night next week, but the two screams will be his "Pullman Porter." and the third play the butler as a hero in a white family. Everybody is pleased with the success of the pictures, and to know we will have the pleasure of seeing the better side of the race on canvas than always seeing some Negro making an ass of himself. THE WIFE OF FATHER MATTHIAS Mrs. Nettie Hollis-Matthias, formerly a clerk for the Faulkner News Agency when it was on the west side of State street, at 31st street, and the first young lady of the race to be so employed without passing for white, passed through the city on Thursday en route to join her husband, Father Matthias, a West Indian, who met "Miss Hollis" in Pine Bluff, Ark., while there in college, took a charge in Boston, where she will meet him on a Saturday morning. Mrs. Matthias was dumfounded when she entered the store she once was clerk in to see it larger, brighter and a bigger store in every way. She spent her twenty-four hours in the city with her aunt, Mrs. I. Smiley, 19 East 37th place. GRANDMA LAMBKIN'S KIDS. "Grandma Hicks," as Willie and Lloyd Jackson call Mrs. H. M. Lambkin, 3227 State street, their grandmother, is much out of spirits on account of not having the boys about the home, as they kept everything in a whirl. The catt, which lost all the hair of its it al,signed with relief; the pet dog stood at 33d and State streets and waved his "fare thee," but the most laughable thing was, when the boys got in the auto to take them to the station, the poll parrot said, which was a pet in the family when the boys' mother was a child, "Good by. d-n you," and they are now nearing Vancouver, B.C. HAVE A LAUGH WITH ME. By Waldo Baston. Do you believe in honesty? No, I am too poor for that. Why did you sell your pony? Because I got a better profit than the fellow did a horse. Coincidence. It was five-year-old Harold's first visit to an Episcopal church, and during the sermon he examined the literature in the hymn book rack. A card upon which was printed the church calendar absorbed his interest for awhile, and when he reached "Ash Wednesday," he held it up to his mother, remarking in a loud whisper: "That's the day our ashes are always collected, too!" "Is that man who is running around giving advice a lobbyist?" "Certainly not. He is on Our Side of the argument."—Washington Star. Important Motto Don't overlook the importance of the motto, A full day's work for a full day's pay.-Atchison Globe. CITY OF HAMBURG One of the Three Free Burgs of Germany. Its People Spend Their Leisure Hours on Water Front—St. Pauli, the Sailors' Paradise, One of the Town's Noted Resorts. Hamburg.—It was nine o'clock and still daylight in Hamburg. We sat in a pavilion cafe overlooking the Binnen-Alster. The lake was full of boats; sail boats, rowboats and canoes. Every now and then a little steamboat whizzed in from the Aussen Alster, its funnels being lowered and raised with a snap as it passed under the low bridge. A few bicycle launches were still scooting over the water, ridiculous things with the rider high in the air, pedaling wheels that seemed to run right over the water. The swans were still hanging around the edge of the water trying to coax the loiterers to throw them a crumb or two. One large one was away out in the middle of the lake vigorously following a launch that had the sign "Liebnitz Cakes" tacked on its side. We wondered if the swan could read. I do not believe Americans love waterfronts as much as Europeans do, for we only use our river banks for mills and dumps, while in Europe they make theirs the most beautiful part of their cities, and there they spend their leisure hours and center all their love. At ten o'clock it was not yet dark, so we took a trip to St. Paul, the sailors' resort in Hamburg. Several big liners had docked that day and sailors simply flooded and owned the place. Everything was going at a great pace, especially the sailors' pay. There were moving-picture shows, merry-go-roads, side shows and cafes—all a perfect blaze of light. Many fakirs were stationed along the sidewalk shouting in their loudest and most convincing German about the excellence of their wares. The life of a sailor is a hard one, and the German sailors of the Hamburg-American line only lives through his many weeks of hardship on the sea for the eight glorious days he is going to spend at St. Paull, which has been called the "Sailors" Paradise." Overlooking St. Paull and the harbor stands a colossal statue of Bismark. It is like the great man, silent, gigantic and immovable—the greatest man that Germany has produced in a century. The statue belongs to the art of new Germany, and yet it is strangely like the old Roland at Bremen built centuries ago. It only goes to show how everything OLD HAMBURG ALONG THE QUAY travels in a circle, even art, and that the post impressionists may still be making Botticelli Madonnas and Fra Angelico angels. The new Rathaus stands in front of the Exchange, and it is a very imposing and handsome building. One reason it looks so well is it has a large open square in front of it, and directly opposite is a semi-circle stone terrace, with benches along the sides, that is forever filled with weary Hamburgers. But it is to the peasant woman of these countries that America means the most, for they must do the hardest and roughest labor from, morning until night. In Vienna we saw them laying bricks and plastering houses; in Prague, we saw them mixing mortar and acting as hod-carriers; in Munich, they are the switch-turners and the street cleaners; everywhere in the country they till the ground and plow like a man. Is it a wonder that America seems like heaven to them, where they get wholesome food; a nice clean bed and good wages. Hamburg is one of the three free cities in Germany, the other two are Lubeck and Bremen. SPLINTER $5.000 GLASS SIGN Hoisted to London Opera House Roof, the Chain Breaks and It Falls. London.—"Wouldn't there be an almighty smash if that chain broke?" remarked a ragged urchin who was watching an elaborate glass sign 20 by 15 feet being hoisted to the roof of the London Opera House. A moment later the chain snapped and the sign, crashing to the pavement, was shattered with a report like that of a cannon.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP An Unending Procession of Many Strange Gifts Grave and Logical Treatise on Reformed Sea Talk Only One Who Could See All That Was Going On THE CHICAGO DEFENDER WASHING An Unending Procession WASHINGTON. — Thousands of gifts, from millionaire and laboring man, constantly remind President Wilson that, though he is constitutionally precluded from receiving presents from prince, potentate or foreign power, the people of his own country do not forget him. In unending procession the gifts have come. In all sorts of packages grotesque gifts have poured in upon him. A staff of sclerks at the White House spend no small part of each day in properly receiving and acknowledging them and, perchance, returning them with thanks. The stream of gifts to the new president started on the day of his induction into office. It will continue with more or less intermittence until the day he ceases to be president of the United States. The gifts are marked by a catholicity of choice that is truly amazing. These unknown friends of the chief executive do not confine the medians by which the gifts are sent to any one carrier; in fact, the methods chosen to send them, large and small, are almost as varied as is possible. A favorite method is the old and tried "personal messenger" plan, whereby strenuous efforts are made to deliver the gift in person. The proposed donor, or his agent, will search the very heavens as well as the earth to find a plausible excuse to get by the watchdogs of the secret service and Secretary Tumulty and take the "little token of affer- It has been gravely and logically urged that the substitution of "right" and "left" for "starboard" and "port" in the navy makes it much easier for inexperienced men to learn to steer. How many other changes could be made with a similar end in view? For instance it surely must rasp the nerves of the green landsman on a warship to hear an officer during gun drill snap out the command "Silence." How much better it would be for the officer to say in a bland and soothing voice, "Gentlemen, will you be kind enough to come to order?" The next command has always been "Cast loose and provide." This has a rude twang. How much prettier it would be to say, "Friends, prepare this piece of artillery for use against the enemy and bring up the ammunition from downstairs." During the silent watches of the night one hears on the warships now such dialogues as this: "Masthead there!" "Aye, aye, sir." "How does that light bear now?" "Two points and a quarter off the starboard bow, sir." Wouldn't it be better if it were something like this: A SOCIAL atmosphere was given to an Avenue car by the majority of the passengers, who were obviously out for an early evening ride. The one serious person aboard was the motorman, who kept a firm grip on his lever and looked ahead with ever-watchful eye. Each time the car stopped for a minute to let passengers get on or off people scuttled across the track without the least apparent fear of being run over, and even when the big thing was whizzing along women who were only a few yards ahead would sprint in front of it as if they revealed in the risk—not counting an occasional man who looked as if he might be sensible enough to realize the disadvantages of injury or sudden death. This reckless flirtation with danger surprised at least one passenger who sat on a front seat and THIS is a story of how a meritorious case and a family of thirteen put one over the civil service commission. After six years of waiting, Richard T. Underwood of Pennsylvania has almost reached the goal he won through an examination. A bookbinder, Mr. Underwood passed in 1907 an examination that entitled him to appointment in the government printing office at $4 a day. There was no vacancy, but his family, consisting of a wife and ten children, required support, so he accepted the place of laborer in the post-office department at $600 a year. Underwood was promoted Feb. 1, 1908, to an assistant mesesnger's position at $720 a year. It was discovered that before he could be promoted to a higher salary, which he deserved, in Mr. Hitchcock's opinion, it would be necessary for him to pass another civil service examination. Lack of education in youth made this impossible, so Mr. --- tion and esteem" to the president in person. If the distance is too great for the giver to reach Washington—or if he has no acquaintance here—or if he cannot prevail upon his congressman to present the gift for him—it will be reluctantly trusted to the tender mercy of the express companies or the mails. During the present administration the favorite method of sending the smaller articles to the White House has been by parcel post. Larger packages from unknown senders are always opened at a safe distance from the executive rooms, to provide against unpleasant possibilities. The nature of the gifts varies in such a way that the president might possess a good start toward collecting a museum of curiosities or even establishing a zoological park. Pamphlets and books enough to furnish a good-sized library accumulate every few weeks. Just for the sake of variety a mud turtle, sent by admirers on the eastern shore of Maryland, was found, carefully wrapped, in the morning's mail one day not long ago. The reptile had not been harmed in any way and was immediately turned loose in the expanse of the White House grounds, where he may thrive for many years: Visitors with suspicious looking bulges about their clothing have been stopped on the White House grounds by the police or secret service men. They have been taken to one side for examination and a harmless article has been taken from its hiding place within their clothing. On questioning, they have admitted it was intended as a gift to the president. They usually drop the fact that they were attempting to reach the president through some pretext in order to deliver it themselves and personally receive the thanks of the chief executive. "Friend Jones, are you awake?" "Yes, indeed, sir." "Well, then, will you be kind enough to tell me in what direction you see that light?" "The line of its direction, sir, is about thirty feet to the right of the flag pole on the front end of the ship." And when the lookout first sees the light, instead of dropping the brusque exclamation, "Light, ho!" down on the deck like an anarchist's bomb, why shouldn't he mellifluously ejaculate, "I beg your pardon, sir, but I see a light." More power to Josephus Daniels and his policy. With a little diligence and patience such terms as "slush-bucket," "squeegee," "hady-billy," "Johnny Loss" and "gangway" may be translated into English that any land-lubber in the navy or outside it can understand. could see what was going on. "Say, not motorman, I'm a stranger in this burgl. What's the matter with the people here; taking chances as if the car couldn't hurt 'em if it tried? First thing you know, you're going to be stopped by an inhabitant or two under the wheel. Do you folks go on like this as a regular thing? And don't you ever have to make use of your coroner?" "Habit, I guess. I suppose they know we are keeping a sharp lookout all the time. When I've come near an accident I can't sleep well for nights thinking of it, but you never hear anybody pitying the poor motorman, do you, or wondering how he stands the wear and tear on his nerves. I suppose there's some sort of an excuse. You see, we rip up these Avenue tracks every now and again and people get so used to having a car poke along at a snail's rate that they lose respect for its ability to hurt them—hi, there!" The motorman stopped, his just-started car with a mighty wrench that jerked it to a standstill. Otherwise a young person in white ratine, with high-heeled slippers and a floppy Panama, would have had her name in the papers next day— In the death notices. YOU HAVE THIRTEEN GOOD REASONS FOR THIS RAISE Hitchcock wrote the facts to the president, urging that Underwood be excepted from the requirement because of his value to the department and the eleven other reasons, the wife and ten children. July 27, 1912, Mr. Taft directed his promotion without examination. Governor Dockery recommended Underwood's promotion to $1,000 a year, effective July 1. Postmaster General Burleson has made the necessary order. Meantime a daughter, born in February, increased Underwood's family to thirteen.

Sho points out thatthe instinct for adornment was once quite as evident in male attire as in female, Men have given up most of thelr ornaments, women cling to theirs. The «loption of as rational and economical standards of clothing Among Women as now prevail among men would save enormous sums per year. ‘True, without doubt; but practleally unimportant. Women will not adopt masculine plainness of dress—for men won't let them. It would be a drab world indeed if ladies took to plain blacks, grays, blues and browne af- fected by thelr brothers and husbands, In sheer hunger for a bit of bright- ness and Kayety, men would go back to crimson knee breeches and em- broidered purple cloaks.
