[Special to The Chicago Defender.] Little Rock, Ark., August 8.—With a big mass meeting in the First Baptist Church the National Association of Teachers brought its tenth annual session to a close on Sunday afternoon, August 3. The session opened Wednesday night, July 30, with the usual formalities of welcome and response, and with an able address by President M. W. Dogan. The pace set by President Dogan was kept up each evening of the convention, with R. R. Wright, H. T. Kealing and Hon. W. T. Vernon as the orators. President's Annual Address. In a paper full of thought and suggestion President M. W. Dogan, of Wiley University, Marshall, Texas, offered solutions of many of the vexing educational problems of the Discussing the relations of Literary and industrial subjects in the high schools, Dr. Dogan said: "The practice so common in many of substituting domestic science and manual training for certain high school studies calls for a most stubborn protest from those of us really interested in the educational advancement of our people," said he. "Domestic science and manual training are needed and should be taught in every well regulated high school, for [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Louisville, Ky., August S.—Mrs. Caroline Boon, who died here several weeks ago, was one of the most remarkable characters we have had in our midst for some time. While it is not definitely known, her age, from what we could glean from her recollections, must have been about 96 or 97 years. Mrs. Boon's pride was her children, and she always spoke of them, and when Colonel Roosevelt came here on one of his tours of the south she went to see him because she believed him to be a friend of people with large families. Six years ago she had a little party for her grandchildren and 'her yard was too small to hold them, after counting them over so she went out into the country on her farm, where they had a grandchild; her 54 great grandchildren are grown and every one of them own their own home and each have a trade and are making their way through life; her 'en children, the oldest living is 63 ars old, is independent, well and rty and does not look a day over years. n speaking about slavery days she en said: "I never like to recall ose dreadful, horrible times. When think of how my young babies were sold from my breast, and how the driver's lash would ring across the plantation, and how my master tried to insult me, and my running away from the place to save my honor, and my return after the war to gather up my family and relations." Mrs. Boon, like most southern slave women, raised her children in the fear BUSINESS MEN'S ASS'N HOLD PARADE. The Business Men's Association held a parade last Friday night and it was more than a huge success, as there were thousands that lined the street to witness the procession in which there were fifty floats and five hundred marchers, led by the Pythian hand. One of the features was the six thousand dollar eight-ton truck for coal business, which belongs to the firm of Bacon & Sons. Hon. Allison Sweeney spoke to the throng that filled Woods academy. Jesse Binga, the banker, led the procession in his beautiful Wilton car. On one of the banners was the inscription, "The Loop Is All Right, But the Belt for Mine." On another from a white store, "We Employ Colored Help." both educational and vocational purposes, but such should be supplemented and not substituted."

Most of them, however, would make them study at night by a "pine knot" light. Mrs. Charles Adkins, 3322 Michigan avenue, next to her youngest living child, was the pride of Mrs. Boon's heart and the two were devoted. Mrs. Adkins came down early in May when she learned of her mother's ill health and stayed until the end came, which was in the latter part of May; she worked so hard and sat up so much that after the funeral she collapsed and left here sick. Mrs. Adkins Seen in Chicago. When it was learned that Mrs. Adkins was a relative of Mrs. Boon a reporter for The Defender was dispatched over to see her and the story was verified. We found that she was just recovering from her illness, contracted while in the south. In speaking of herself she said: "Yes, I was sick, but am thankful to be up again after the hard trip south. I wish also, Mr. Reporter, to thank my many friends for their kindness to me the seven weeks I was so ill. I must say that during that time the only comfort I got was through the columns of The Defender. I hope you will always be on the watch for things of interest to the race and I am sure not only Chicago people but our people all over the United States will cherish it."

BUSINESS AND FRATER NAL MEN AS HOSTS Affair to Be a Society Event—Plenty of Sport for the Money—Help the Cause by Being Present on That Day Even if You Have to Touch a Friend. Next Saturday the champion Grace Sunday School baseball team will play the fast second U. P. team and the Doctors and Dentists will meet the Emergencies in a double header for the benefit of the Old Folks' home. Through the kindness of Mr. Schorling the American Giants' park has been donated for the occasion and a fine crowd is expected as many seats have been sold already. It is to be the hit of the season as a great society event. Also the proceeds are to be turned over to the Old Folks' home to help enlarge their present quarters which the medical men deem as too small. It is to be worth seeing also, for the Grace nine is the best of its kind in the country and is two time winner of the Cook County championship. The Doctors have been practicing for months. The Emergencies, under their leader, Mr. Avendorph, will try to prove themselves the better team. Dr. Plummer will lead the Doctors, playing in left field. Dr. Moze will catch, Dr. Smith, formerly of Rush, will be in center. Halfacre will start in the box. Dr. Trapp will be at third, Dr. Dalley will be on second, George Porter will quit mixing drugs to be at short. The Illinois grad is a wonder and many others will help. The game will start at two o'clock and the greatest ball manager in the world, Mr. Andrew (Rube) Foster will impire. The business and fraternal men are to be out in full force and the news paper men are to have a box. Box 23 will be the press box. The boxes are being rapidly sold, as many are going in parties. Some of those already engaged are: Madame Wilberforce Williams and friends, Mrs. A. French and friends, Miss Curtis and friends of Boston, Mrs. Odom and friends of New York, Mrs. Craft, Mrs. J.

The Hotel Pullman, 3641 State street, is the wonder of the age. Seventy-five dollar ($75) chairs in rooms for only one dollar a night. First class service. For cleanliness this place cannot be excelled. No wonder there is a rush for rooms. THE DEFENDER AUTO DELIVERY So great has been the demand for the Defender at the various news stands the management of the Defender was forced to put auto service into play, in order that the railroad men who are leaving the city on a 9 or 8-day trip may be able to get our paper early Saturday morning or Friday night. In our next issue we are in hopes of giving our readers and friends a cut showing our auto driver and the 90-h. p. machine that we use for our service. Look for the big machine with two boys on either side on running board, who make their delivery as fast as the daily paper boys. The Defender has the distinction of having the only auto delivery in America, service furnished by Russell Bros. You should subscribe for the wide-awake paper, the only one of its kind in all the Americas. JOBS FOR TWO HUNDRED POSTAL CLERKS. Examinations for Additional Employees at Chicago Postoffice Attract Applicants. As a result of a heavy increase in the parcel post bureau of the Chicago postoffice, 200 additional clerks will be added to the force of employees. The appropriation is available and on Wednesday a special civil service examination was started in the federal building. More than 100 applicants were quizzed during the day. The examinations will continue daily until Aug. 14. The Chicago postoffice now is handling 6,000,000 packages of parcel post a month. With a record of 3,000,000 packages in January, the first month of parcel post, the Chicago office has increased its business steadily since then until it is now doubled. We are in hopes that Defender readers will make application at once and do not accept the bunk that the men at Central will not let you go through if you are colored; that used to go but not now. Suppose the deadly three do go in, be game. They cannot kill you by a refusal. Go! Be men! Take the examination! EIGHTH REGIMENT BAND TO STAR. The famous Eighth Regiment band will lead the Eighth Regiment down town on next Saturday when they take part in the celebration of Perry's centennial celebration. The band is considered to be the finest in the United States, and when it comes to playing martial music they are second to none and the credit has been given to them by army officers. The U. R. Knights of Pythias will take this band to Baltimore with them and they will bring away the laurels. On the 26th they will give a grand concert in the Manhattan Casino under the direction of Chief Musician Berry. The box seats are selling for five dollars and there are many from Chicago who have engaged seats ahead. A special train will he run. They will return in time to go to camp with the regiment. MRS. PLUMMER RETURNS FROM HER FARM. Mrs. W. H. Plummer, 5744 Fifth avenue, has just returned from a two months' visit to their 320-acre irrigated farm at Buttes, Colorado. She found and left their farm in good condition along the maize corn and alfalfa line, but the grasshoppers had played havoc with the vegetables. She spent much of the time with her daughter, Mrs. J. C. Dorgan, at Lamar, who owns a large tract of land and with her parents who are wealthy farmers at Grunada, Colorado. Mrs. Plummer reports an ideal trip and, while delighted to return to the dear old Windy city, she even now looks forward with anxiety to another visit. WELL-KNOWN PALMER HOUSE EMPLOYE GOES ON VACATION Mr. Buckner, 3772 Armour avenue, accompanied by his wife, left the city on Thursday for a two weeks' vacation. Their first stop will be at Calio, Ill. Mr. Buckner's former home, and there will be the guest of his sister. After a ten days' stay, they will go to Mrs. Buckner's home, Arlington, Ky., and there will be the guest of her sister. He has been in the employ of the Palmer House as wafer for six years, and this is the first vacation he has taken. He is one of the most reliable men of the race that the Palmer House has in its service; therefore, the manager as well as his fellow workmen will miss him very much and will welcome his return. R. S. BISHOP PROMOTED. Mr. R. S. Bishop has recently been promoted from second to head waiter at the Palmer House restaurant. No other large hostelry in Chicago is more fortunate than the Palmer House in that the large number of men that they have given employment to return up-to-date service as a whole. And numbers of others, like Mr. Bishop, strive to reach the top, where they remain long and finally retire, but are never discharged. the Government at Capital General Robert E.

[Special to The Chicago Defender.] Washington, August 8.—If present day restrictions for Negroes in this the capital of the nation could be transmitted to those courageous, uncompromising race leaders back in the ante-bellum and reconstruction period, the late Frederick Douglass and John Mercer Langston would turn over in their graves and thunder back to the living their anathemas against the Wilson administration and the bourbon senators from the South. Today in the Treasury Department here there are posted signs reading, "This Toilet for Colored Men," and "This Toilet for Colored Women." A few years ago, at the instigation of Negroes who jealously guarded their rights and privileges vouchsafed by the Constitution and congressional enactments, the Commissioners for RHODES AVENUE HAS CULTURE. There are more culture, vocal and musical students on Rhodes avenue, between 35th and 37th streets, than any other section of the city, except the university. There are a great many of these people studying at the Chicago Musical College and others at the Art Institute. One saunters along and he hears nothing but the work of the masters, and even the Italian organ grinders have become to notice it so that they change their rolls and play from Beethoven and Coleridge-Taylor when they get along there. Even most of the visitors are teachers in music and are spending their summers keeping in touch with the latest method of teaching in that line and can be found along that street. Just yesterday a lady from the Boston Conservatory of Music moved into 3575 Rhodes avenue at 3550 and 52, and the entire block this high class music abounds. You must know how to use the keys if you wish to rent a house over there; the landlords ask the question now: "Can you play classic music?" Old Settlers' Picnic. The annual outing given under the auspices of the Old Settlers' Social Club took place last Monday afternoon and evening at Rasch's Grove, Seventy-ninth and Bond avenue. A large number of persons attended. The usual greeting among the Settlers was very cordial. Music and games were indulged in until midnight. All declared it to have been the most enjoyable reunion. Mrs. Ida M. Dempcy was the organizer and is still president of the club. the District of Columbia forced all railroads entering here from the South to remove the "For Colored" signs from their coaches on crossing the District line, because no "Jim Crow" laws were in force in this territory. Without law, in contravention of law, the Secretary of the Treasury has permitted segregation signs to be placed in the Treasury Department. Secretary's Private Property. An office, that of Secretary of the Treasury, heretofore regarded as a public trust, is now administered by an official who regards it as his private property, and who feels that his prejudices and his race hatred can and must prevail. The humblest employee in the Treasury Department took the same oath that the Secretary of the Treasury took, viz. to defend the law, and yet, in clear violation of law, the Secretary of the Treasury segregates the Negro employees.

JACK TO LIVE IN PARIS. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Paris, France, August 5.—Jack Johnson has publicly announced in Paris that he has no intention of returning to this country to stand trial again. In a signed article published in "La Boxe et Les Boxeurs," a prominent French sporting paper, under the heading of "My Misfortunes," Johnson writes: "I count on settling permanently in their city (Paris) and never returning to the United States." Apparently Johnson's legal difficulties in America don't make him less popular in France. French papers print many photographs of Johnson, with his wife, sitting in a carriage and wearing his golden amule. Each picture shows numerous Frenchmen struggling to get into focus near the ex-champion. Johnson's signed article runs as follows: "Since my return from France to America I must say that I have been the most persecuted man in the whole world. The Americans, decidedly unable to stomach my victory over Jeffries, and some others relatively important that I gained, have tried to destroy and ruin me. There has not been a day on which I was not the victim of some plot, on some ridiculous charge, which ended only with great loss of money for me. One day they accused me of violence to my --- It Capital tures Nation's of Fighting aitors of the 25th regiment was dishonorably discharged, mass meetings were held here, big and little Negroes were thundering their criticism of Colonel Roosevelt, and the very air was surcharged with condemnation for the then occupant of the White House. Today, without so much as a verbal protest, Negroes in the departments here are accepting segregation, and unmurring wending their way to the basement to use separate toilets. If without special congressional enactment providing for some, department and bureau heads can "Jim Crow" Negro employees of the government, then without special enactments the Negroes of Washington can be "Jim Crowed" on street car lines here, in the parks, and the same undisputed might can segregate them everywhere and in every way. 5,000 Educated Cowards 5000 Educated Cowards. It is pititable to see nearly five thousand Negro employees submitting tameny to a gross insult, to a defiance of law without protest. This insult administered to any other class, this segregation provided without sanction of law for any other race would have provoked both individual and collective resistance, and these odious signs would have been pulled down as insult as they were placed in position. The segregation of the races here has been discussed in open cabinet meeting with the president. The segregation of the races has been enforced without a dissent, if not with his approval. He knows of it. Men here have called his attention to it. William Garrison Villard has written him and called on the protesting against it, and still he remains inactive, still permits the order to stand. No one has had the temerity to sign the order. It is a parentless order, conveyed verbally to each Negro employee by a Negro employee on the verbal authorization of the Secretary of the Treasury. If this administration is bent on driving ten millions of (Continued on Page 7) TRADE HONORS AND WIFE; WHITE ATTTEND FUNCTION Black American Are Welcomed to take of All Liberties Offered Any Government—Paris Praises John- y Papers Run His Cut—Wealthy E TABOOED IN PARIS. to the French Republic Sold Pa- rhodes, Nephew of Jack, Given of France—5,000 Colored Ameri- ood, Twenty from Chicago. chauffeur when, in fact, he menaced me, and I was forced to give up heavy damages. At the same time I was in trouble for exceeding the speed limit, when I had made ten miles an hour, and on the charge that my auto smoked, which was absolutely false, and the fines were always drained from me. They accused me of trading in white female slaves, when I had simply traveled with my legitimate wife from one state to another. I was arrested and was not released until I had deposited a ball of 50,000 francs. It was always my money that they were after. It would take all the pages of this paper to tell all my misfortunes. A single example will be sufficient. One day when I was punching the bag in public the cord holding the ball broke and the bag, projecting ten metres, struck a woman spectator lightly, without injuring her in the least. The woman's lawyer hailed me into court and claimed enormous damages. Do you know what she demanded? Simply $2,500 (12,500 francs). Notwithstanding the bad faith of the complaint, the court condemned me to pay $2,500 (12,500 francs)—a sum absolutely ridiculous under the circumstances. "In brief, with all these attacks and persecutions, the American judges had already succeeded in forcing me to pay, in some months, more than 600,000 francs ($120,000), and as there was no reason why I would not be continually arrested until my last PRICE 5 CENTS dollar was gone, I resolved to take to flight, But, alas, that seemed impos- sible, They obtained an order of ar- rest, charging me with leaving Chi- cago. I resolved to use a ruse. I organized in Chieago a baseball team composed of Negroes. 1 had chosen for it fifteen men as big and black as possible, all of whom resembled me marvelously. My team being in train- ing, I sent a challenge in the name of the Negro team to one of the best teams in Canada, The challenge was accepted and a date quickly fixed. Dis- guised in baseball outfits, ft was very hard to {dentity me. My secretary, wife and domestic embarked for Can- ada by another route. 1 had bought in ndvance tickets direct to Havre by the steamer Corinthian, When 1 ar- rived ut Montreal this precaution saved me. I had arranged with a big Negro who resembled me closely, and when he said he was Jack Johnson the policemen would have taken him back triumphantly to my house in Chi- cago. I had promised to pay him well. Fortunately, all went well in Mon- treal. ‘The local authorities, unfricnd- ly, demanded how long I would stay in Canad, and if I had not had my ticket [ might not have been so for- tunate. As I was only going through their country the Canadians could say nothing.

It is requested and especially urged that a full attendance be present, as there will be discussed many matters of vital importance to the association and to the Negro race as a whole. It is essential that the Negro press should stand as a unit on the great questions of these times and that there by sympathetic cooperation in all that tends to promote our status as citizens of the American Republic. As we see it, the perpetuation and strengthening of the National Negro Press Association represents the best medium through which this sacred purpose may be accomplished. The future welfare of the Negro press of the United States as an efficient molder of public sentiment, as the voice of the race that must be heard, and as a reflex of the honorable achievements of a progressive people, will very largely depend upon the success of the Philadelphia meeting. 4. is further requested that those members who find it impossible to reach Philadelphia for this session shall duly authorize a proxy to act for them, sending official qualifications of such person at once to Secretary Henry Allen Boyd, 447 Fourth avenue, North, Nashville, Tenn.

HUBBARD AT JACKSON FARM Mr. Frank Hubbard, 402 Mecca building, was advised by his family physician several weeks ago to take a much needed vacation at some one of the numerous watering places. His selection was the Jackson Farm, at Fennville, Mich. This farm is six miles from a railroad station, but the ride is not monotonous, as the wooded country through which they pass is very picturesque. It is interspersed with many other beautiful farms. The transportation is very convenient, as auto service is easily obtained. The farm is very inviting, as there are an abundance of chickens, flowers, plots of grass and various kinds of vegetables and farm produce. On a hill, near the home, is a large spring, which A. B. supplies the neighbors with water. There is also a beautiful croquet ground, and several hammocks under shady elms. Mrs. Lottie Jackson Turner has charge of this splendid hostelry and besides serving meals that are all that one would expect, even on the Twentieth Century Limited, she provides well ventilated sleeping quarters and all other accommodations that would cause one to feel perfectly at home. Mr. Hubbard remained at the resort but a month, but returned to the city on Saturday after having gained seven pounds in weight. On his return he was accompanied by Mr. Wm. Vance, who came down to attend the ball games of Saturday and Sunday, and returned to the resort on Monday. Mr. Hubbard is a young man of very steady habits. He has been employed by the N. W. R. R. for five years in the dining car service, and will return to his position on the 15th. Among the other guests that were at the Jackson Farm during his stay, were: Miss Clarence Chapell, 3455 Wabash avenue; Mrs. Jos. W. Haddox, 4559 Wabash avenue; Miss Georgia Jackson, 3455 Wabash avenue. The greatest pleasure of the day is the mile and a half walk down to the government pier on Lake Michigan, down an automobile road that runs through a beautiful wooded section. The young ladies were all sorry to have him go because he was the only man they could be, at croquet out of the twenty that visited there so far. RUNS NORTH AND SOUTH. On July 30 the Stork Limited stopped at Station K, 285 N. Clark street, and delivered to Mr. and Mrs. E. Kemp a fine boy. This is the second deposit at this station of a parcel containing a boy and we congratulate the couple on their possessions. Mother and baby are doing nicely and father is wearing the smile that won't come off. Another stop of the limited was at 4521 Evans avenue, and there a fine boy was delivered to Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Williams. The mother and baby are doing nicely at Provident hospital. In the latter part of August the suffragettes of this city will hold their first open convention. The names of some of the leading members will be given in the next issue of this paper. The full particulars will also be given later. The men as well as the women of this city are earnestly asked to co-operate in this all-important movement. It is so easy to do nothing that we generally keep busy at it.-Waldo Baston. A CALL FOR HELP. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER when her next door neighbor, Billy, came up the steps. Billy had been her comforter and confident since their kindergarten days. "Oh, Billy! We must have all the fun and ragtime we can! it will be all shut off for two weeks!" "How did I know? she exclaimed, equally mystified. 'How did you know? Papa just got word that some business friend of his, a Mr. Reeves — Philip Reeves — is coming here to accept one of papa's repeated invitations to visit.

Business as formerly conducted on a modern scale permitted that acquaintance between employer and employed which became a personal bond and attained the worker loyalty to the establishment. This is impossible with the giant concerns of today, and the progressive among them are looking to the principle of profit sharing to interest the employee in his work. In England, where the plan is much in vogue and tends to become the settled practice, the profit sharing system is expected to enable the small shop or factory to compete, by reason of the more zealous endeavor of the employed, with the huge establishments; and it seems not unreasonable that it may have this effect. Many corporations in our own country have worked out satisfactory profit sharing plans, or are experimenting to that end. A carpet company of Yonkers distributed $65,000 to employees last year. A big insurance company has inaugurated a retirement pension system which gives the employee 1 per cent. of his yearly earnings multiplied by the number of years of service. A New England manufacturing concern, after allowing a liberal return to capital, gives all its surplus to its employees; and various other plans are being tried. Beyond much doubt these will become the universal practice in the future, when the men whose great ability can make huge enterprises successful have come to find the higher pleasure in serving humanity. Heretofore in world history human development has been toward individuality, and this was facilitated by everything which tended to exalt and aggrandize self. Up to a certain point it was necessary and good; but beyond that, development to the ideal type of man is retarded. It is along the altruistic, not the egoistic, lines that further progress must be made. The present disposition of directive heads of great concerns to serve themselves first and pass out to others what remains, if anything, is illustrated by the seven directors of a large New York company, who vote themselves each a salary of $30,000 a year, though the stockholders would seem to be getting nothing since a deficit of $2,000,000 was reported in 1911. This kind of profit division has always heretofore been most in evidence, but will not always be. Faculty for Managing. Anyone who has to manage men or things must be able quickly to bring order out of confusion. Test your friend's talent in this respect by writing on your paper five words of a special class, such as the names of five flowers, or of five animals, or of five famous poets, with the first letter always in the right place, while the order of the other letters is changed. The person on whom you are experimenting knows only to which class the words belong—whether they are the names of animals, or of flowers, or of poets. See how long it takes him to write the five correct words in place of the misspelled ones. The animal card may read, "Tetrul, etalenph, dykeno, serdig, galliro," and the vegetable card, "Veloti, doffad, melap, moroshumu, cuttnesh." Some persons will be able to read at once: "Turtle, elephant, donkey, spider, gorilla," and the other card, "Violet, daffodil, maple, mushroom, chestnut." Others who have no talent for rearranging the elements of a confused situation will stare at the words, unable to make any sense of them.—Youth's Companion. Rock Paintings in Tunis Rock paintings of an interesting kind in the south region of Tunis are described by M. Henri Roux and published in the Revue Tunisteenne. One of these was noticed on a rock wall in the Djheel Blili, which probably represents a combat of men in conventional drawing and animals which it is difficult to identify. The age of this painting raises quite a controversy among scientists, and some think that it is contemporary with the Berber civilization, that is, intermediate between the stone age and the age of metals. According to this idea it belongs in the last part of the neolithic period. But M. Rous disishes to place it at a more ancient poch and class it in the middle or first part of the neolithic period, it being due to a civilization which is more ancient than the Berbers, and M. Gobert also thinks that it is the work of negroid people to whom are due the flints of the neolithic age found in North Africa. How Queen Rules King Emmanuel. The queen of Italy, discussing smoking with Queen Mary of Great Britain, remarked vivaciously: "I can overlook many faults in a man, and make many allowances for his shortcomings." "One fault in a man, however, I can never forgive, and that is—his not smoking. Whenever King Emmanuel seems annoyed I give him his pipe; when he is good-tempered I get him a cigarette; when I want him to do something very particular I offer him a cigar. "With a pipe I can console him; with a cigarette I can delight him; but with a cigar I can lead him anyhow and anywhere." Marking Time "You prefer parades to speeches in impressing your views?" "Yes. It's much more interesting to see how long it takes a procession to pass some point than to see how long it takes a speech to do the same thing." Can You Believe This? Nature's most deadly antipathy seems to have been overcome. A rat was killed in, a produce company's plant in Missouri and left four young rats, which the cat has undertaken to bring up, meantime not neglecting her duty of keeping the place clear of all adult rats that come in sight.

I desire to express my deep appreciation of the kindness of the many friends who showed so many evidences of sympathy during the last illness of my beloved daughter, Anita Gonzales Taylor, and for the beautiful tokens of sympathy and condolence in the sad hours following her death. Baby Lawrence J. Wooden, Jr., the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence J. Wooden, grandchild of Mrs. A. W. Wellington, was taken ill on the 27th of July and was removed to the hospital the same day. He fell asleep in the arms of Jesus July 28th. He was born July 14th. We loved him, yes we loved him, but Jesus loved him and he has sweetly called him to yonder shining shore. HIGH HEELED SLIPPER By BELLE MANIATES. Allene was indulging in the after- dinner peace of the big broad veranda M. when her next door neighbor, Billy, came up the steps. Billy had been her comforter and confident since their kindergarten days. "Oh, Billy! We must have all the fun and rag time we can! it will be all shut off for two weeks!" "How did I know? she exclaimed, equally mystified. "How did you know? Papa just got word that some business friend of his, a Mr. Reeves Philip Reeves—is coming here to accept one of papa's repeated invitations to visit. Papa has been giving me all sorts of advice and lessons in deportment. He describes this stupid man as thirty-five, dignified, scholarly, et cetra. That sounds well to papa, but it is the description of a bore and a prig to me." "That's just what I came to tell you about!" said Billy ruefully, "and what I thought you were talking about. I have got to go with my mother to a stupid house party at the Howard place. The girl asked for me is as cold as an icicle, and as slim, too!" The next morning when she saw Billy going to the station with his mother, she almost wept. "I didn't know I was so fond of Billy!" she wailed. She had no buoyant spirits to quench when the guest arrived. She was so quiet and dejected during dinner that Philip Reeves finally abandoned his attempts to converse with her. In response to a polite request for music, she played such funeral dirges that her father called her from the room. "For heaven's sake, Allene, don't take me so literally. If you can't be moderately dignified and still interesting, go back to your old hoyden ways." Three wretched days passed in which Allene managed to maintain a demeanor that satisfied her father's ideas of decorum, although she felt horribly unnatural. Then came the reaction. Her father received an urgent summons to a neighboring town on business. With his departure, Allene's strained dignity vanished. "Where's Mr. Reeves?" she asked of the maid as she came into the house from a drive. "He went to the factory," was the reply. Free and alone! She hadn't felt so unrestrained since her childhood days. She flew to the piano, and the room rang with the maddest music in her repertoire. Then her voice burst forth in gay, little snatches of song that revealed her exuberance of spirit. At last, when she paused for breath, a voice behind her said: "Why haven't you played and sung like that before?" She wheeled about quickly on the piano bench. "How long have you been in here?" she asked faintly. "I came at the first sound of the music. It is just the kind I like. I am not educated up to classical music." "Oh, I feel so much better. Really, I can't live up to papa's program any longer." "What do you mean?" he demanded. Then impetuously and impulsively she told him the deportment her father had prescribed, and the heroic efforts she had made to live up to it. A most delightful week of pleasure followed. Saddle horses, automobiles and mountain wagon were brought into use for various excursions and picnics. Allene found in Philip a man as companionable as was Billy. Crossing the lawn one day'when the weather had suddenly turned too cold to permit of driving comfortably. Allene stepped on a stone, and stumbled. "It's those absurd French-heeled slippers!" exclaimed Philip indignantly. "There ought to be a law against their manufacture!" Therefore when Allene came down stairs that evening, out of sheer perverseness, she chose her very most extreme-heeled slippers. On the sixth stair from the bottom, she utrened her foot tripped, and landed in a heap on the hall floor. When she opened her eyes, she was in Philip's arms as he sat before the grate fire in the library. She was so very comfortable, she decided to close her eyes again and postpone her "coming to." Then she felt him removing her slippers. "He thinks my ankle is broken or sprained!" she reflected, and was glad she had put on her silken hose. She half opened her eyes, and to her horror sow him calmly committing her slippers to the flames. She gave a little shriek of indignation and sat bolt upright. "How dare you! My beautiful slippers!" "Well, their destruction seems to have brought you to consciousness," he said coolly. "I was afraid you had fainted for keeps. Is your ankle hurt?" /Not a bit!" she replied, essaying to get on her feet, but he held her fast. "No, Alene! Let me tell you something. When he had told her she assured him she had loved him up to the time he had burned her slippers. Now, it was all changed. They finally compromised in half French heels.

IN THE COUNTRY. An' lambs an' pigs an' chickens, too, An' big-red cows 'at say boo-oo. I tooked my shoes off an' my clothes An' let th' mud squash through my toes. Gee whillicum, but it is fine To be a kid in summertime. It's hard to tell who's who on a coal wagon. In these hot days no doubt you have wished many times for those cool September morns. Now that Jack Johnson has gone, perhaps President Wilson will get the front page of the papers. Barbaric America should be congratulated. So far this year they have only lynched twenty-four "suspects." The way the young ladies swarm here from all parts of the country is an indication of good fields for matrimonial fishing. What a nice thing Chicago police force has in that it can arrest a Negro every time a murder is committed without fear of being excommunicated. Why not let some of the colored officers work on those murder cases. Maybe one of our colleges will be able to work up to an ex-grammar school detective. Our country visitors are welcome, even if we do we have to store them up in a little two by four flat for the night. There is lots of room and plenty to see outside. Prof. Wm. Emuel, according to press reports, can say a word or so not only on the foot but on the dressed "doco tango." The professor says have no fear. He should know. With race prejudice growing more intense each day, thereby shutting off many avenues of employment, our proposed celebration of fifty years of freedom seems like a farce. Newton, Pa., claims to be the first town in the country to have a colored Y. M. C. A., which they opened some two or three weeks ago. Evidently they never see anything but their own home weekly which keeps them informed mainly on the price of hogs. The next thing on the program is a concerted movement for a Y. W. C. A. If any city in the country needs a Christian home for girls it is Chicago. A young woman coming to this city, if she has no friends, is in a frightful dilemma. Where is she to go to stop? Something should be done, and done quickly. Wilmette seems to take better care of its colored citizens than any city in the state. One citizen said: "Why the idea of so much economy to two families in one house and we must live a family to the house? We will parade and make a fuss over it." And they did. A man in fall told his bondman if he would just bail him out neither he nor the law would ever see him again. This being his first offense, he did not realize his bailor would be quite anxious to see his bailer; but the bailor objected and the man in fall just got the point. The polite ticket sellers at the new Sans Souci park are instructed to sell you tickets but to inform you at the same time that the management does not care to cater to colored people. We just mention this in passing, but don't let that deter you from going. Fortunately this is Illinois and not Alabama. If a colored man oversees the work of white girls, no matter how considerate he is, no matter how much protection he affords, no matter how human he is, he ought to be removed, are the sentiments expressed by a Virginia gentleman, "sah." Lovely chance we would have if he exercised any power outside of his own fireside. There may be nothing in a name, nevertheless the members of the Elks in Ohio, having used the name "Elks" for years, strenuously object to giving it up, even though they were enjoined from making further use of the name in the Common Pleas Court in a little Ohio town. They are right in carrying the case up to a higher court, where doubtless they will win. In Wheeling, W. Va., an attempt is being made to force the places of amusement to provide equal accommodations for both races. It is enraging to engage in the situation and make a determined fight. If they lose or win they have gained something for their efforts, if it is nothing more than respect; for any man, no matter how prejudiced he may be, way down deep in his heart admires a fighter. Everything worth while is worth fighting for. The colored population of this city should be especially thankful that the resignation of Mrs. Ella Flagg Young was not accepted, and she will still remain superintendent of the public schools. Her position on questions that vitally concern us is well known. She has nipped in the bud many designs to separate the races in the institutions of learning in Chicago and has righted many individual cases of mistreatment on account of color. We have a friend worth while at the head of Chicago's vast school system in Mrs. Ella Flagg Young and appreciate her worth to the fullest. We commend President Wilson for his fight against high tariff taxation and the currency bill, but we will worship at his shrine if he will but use his influence to suppress lynching and other indignities heaped upon a downtrodden race. His message to Congress urging succor to the family of an Italian lynched in Florida shows that at least a message decrying the practice would do millions of men, women and children would not amiss. Perhaps the championship of such an unpopular cause by the president of this great republic would shock the very foundation of Christian America. UNDER DOGS. "The Negro race of Chicago is the under dog in every situation that arises in this city. The only time we can be sure of a headline in the daily papers is when some member of the race has actually committed a crime or somebody else has committed one and uses the Negro as a convenient scapegoat." This is an extract of an article in the Chicago Tribune, written by Ida B. Wells-Barnett, one of the brainsiest and most forceful writers of our race. She is fearless and strikes at the root of the a way that leaves no doubt in the mind of her commitment of meaning. Her name is ever associated with those devoting their lives to the uplift of a persecuted race, her motto being "fair play and justice to all." OPPORTUNITIES "This country will never be wholly great until it is possible for a Negro to enjoy all the opportunities accorded to any other citizen of equal character" is the opinion expressed by Prof. Wilder of Cornell. And it will never be possible for him to enjoy these opportunities until he has not only qualified himself but fought, bled and died for the cause. It is worthy of note that our learned college men all agree that the United States is out of adjustment, that something must be done and done quickly; no house divided against itself can long stand. It isn't a matter of politics but of human rights; the reckoning may be delayed but only for a time. Education and wealth will level all things, and the Negro is fast becoming the possessor of both. Now is the time we need friends; influential friends, not to lean on, for it is our own battle, but to encourage and guide us. These United States can and will be the greatest country of them all, but we must be counted in the running. FIXING THE BLAME A youth was found murdered in a vacant lot. Among his horde of friends there chanced to be two colored boys. The fact that they were friendly and had no misunderstanding had nothing to do with the case. The two boys were colored, hence they were under suspicion; there was no rhyme nor reason for suspecting them, but some of our Chicago papers tried to make capital of it and incite race hatred by putting the boys in that light before the public. or two of our papers especially delight in magnifying the weaknesses of our race and laying crimes at our door of which we are innocent. Our virtues seldom are great enough in the eyes of these moulders of public opinion to be mentioned in their columns, and were it not for the friendly attitude of such papers as the Evening Herald and the Board of Herald, our cause would go unbleached many times. Let us hope they will tire of their hobby and let us rest in peace at least until we can take a second breath. THERE'S A REASON We have had a number of inquiries as to why we have not given more publicity to the world's series between the Lincoln Giants of New York City and the American Giants of Chicago. The games warranted lengthy write-ups and also other race papers would have been glad to have done so could they have afforded it. The management of the park, strange to say, does not deem it necessary to advertise or spend any money with the colored papers, though they are making their money from the race. Our papers have been exceptionally friendly and generous when they were struggling for recognition and playing to handful of people. Now the heyday of their success is here and those who stood by them in time of need should come in for a share of the success. Managers of teams in other cities advertise in their local papers. Why not the American Giants? We are glad to say as we go to press that M. Foster called over our ad man and had him estimate on an ad of seven columns. When he was through he said, "I'll take that space." If you look on the sporting sheet you will see a great big ad. PASSING. The death of William Henry Lee, the wealthy publisher, brought to light the fact that more or less colored blood ran through his veins. His former partner, Mr. Laird, claims to have known it all along but kept it a secret for business reason. Many weird stories of his life are coming to light and though up to date no near relatives have come forward to claim the estate, which will reach over $200,000, it will not be long before some forty-second cousin will prove relationship and relieve the state of the tidy little sum. It is an old saying that blood is thicker than water; if so it is not strange that he did not make provisions in his will for leaving his estate to some colored institution, knowing that he had no near relatives? Conditions in this country such that at times it is imperative that a identity if he would succeed, and one if he would for doing so, but there comes a time when the true colors can be shown and especially so in cases of death. What a world of good could have been accomplished with this money had it been given to some colored charitable organization. It is said that the deceased was liberal during his life, especially to race enterprises. It is a pity the race instead of the state cannot derive the benefits of his will. COLORED SOLDIERS IN PARIS. COLORED SOLDIERS IN PARIS. In Paris they are not afraid of the color rubbing off. In fact the black regiments of the French colonies are the pride of the government, and many of them will be stationed permanently in Paris. Fighting for one's country should consider the noblest and most self-sacrificing thing a man can do, and our country but our own. Here the black man finds welcome only when his white brother is in danger or when there is some particularly risky deed to be accomplished. Then he is shoved up to the front with a blare of trumpets; when the smoke of battle (political or real) is cleared away, his usefulness being at an end, he is forgotten and put aside to be used in an emergency. Is it to be wondered at this government is constantly advertising for recruits, and of late has been making an especial bid for colored men? We are citizens of this country and as citizens must to abide by the laws and aid in our humble way in making this the greatest country in the world. But is it not godly to fight for a country that tries to crush the very heart out of you? A country that deprives you of the very things for which it stands in its constitution? We never have nor do we now ask for favoritism; we only ask for fair play and justice. Why is it necessary to constantly refer to us as Negroes? Are we not as much Americans as anybody else? When a man is referred to, why not say with German, Jew, etc., after his name? Are we Americans though they haven't been in the country long enough to know who is greatent. There is one thing certaint us as they will, it can only be temporary; we are here and here to stay, and from now on we will if necessary fight every inch of the way until we attain our God-given rights. The months are not all December; May must and will come. How Do the Classics Help Us? The answer lies in one little word, art. The classics, more than any modern literature, teach us art, and art is the conscious purpose of man to make this world more beautiful. Philip Sidney says that the object of poetry is to make this too-much loved world more lovely; I should extend his definition a little further and say that the object of art is to make this world more lovely, more lovable, and more loved.—Henry D. Sedgwick, in the Atlantic. About Umbrellas You should not fold up an umbrella when it is wet. Always let it stand with handle downward so that the water can run off the ends of the ribs instead of running toward the ferrule end and rusting that part of the umbrella. Can't Help Wondering Parisian fashion leaders of the gentler sex have taken up the fad of tinting their complexions to match the hues of their dresses. We just can't help wondering how the lady with a plaid dress is going to meet the exigency. -Youngstown Telegram. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER. DAVID WILLIAMS. Keep Healthy By Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams A Weekly Talk on Preventative Measures, First Aid Remedies, Hygienics, Sanitation. No Cases will be Diagnosed and No Prescriptions will be Given in This Column. Animal Flesh All animal flesh contains more or less proteins and they are all, therefore, muscle builders. People doing manual labor, those growing and who are much run down need more of the animal flesh as food than those who are full grown and are doing office or clerical work, and are of sedentary habits. If you are digging in the ditch, carrying the hod, laying brick, scrubbing or doing heavy manual work, causing muscular decay, you need more of a mix diet, consisting of proteins, starches and sugars. A large meat enters suffer more or less from constipation, rheumatism, diseases of the kidneys and other forms of food poisoning; whereas, nearly all fruits and vegetables contain large amounts of sugar, water, starches and heat-producing properties, and are less injurious to the system. Vegetables and fruit products are much easier digested, less likely to produce constipation, because of the amount of cellulose which they contain. Such foods as veal and pork are very difficult to digest and, therefore, are often injurious to our digestive organs. The flesh of young animals contains much acid-producing properties. It takes from four to five hours to digest beef, whereas, to digest salt pork and ham it requires from five to six hours. Questions. Q. Mrs. S. L. writes: "My husband has been sick for two weeks; he has a very weak stomach and cannot milk because it curdles on his stomach; he beef tea a food, and is it good for you just recovering from pneumonia?" Not a Food. A. Beef tea is not a food. It is a stimulant and contains very little nutritive substances. It has no building qualities. You might give it to your husband for the purpose of stimulating his appetite for other foods, the same as tea and coffee. It contains nutritive qualities and is, therefore a good food. Why not give him beef extract instead of beef tea? Fish Not a Brain Producer. Q. Mrs. K. writes: "I am a student at the university, and am having a hard time with my studies. I have been told that fish was a good brain producer and will cause the brain to grow. Would you advise me to eat much fish, and if so, what sort of fish?" A. I do not know that fish will give you brains—or that it will increase the brains that you have to such an extent as to enable you to make better progress with your studies at the university. We have all heard it stated that by eating fish it will cause the brain to grow; but the evidence of that statement is very meager. I would advise you to eat fish that live in clean water, such as bass, whitefish, salmon, pike, etc. Fish baked or boiled, and sometimes fried in white cornmeal (Southern style) is very appetizing and not difficult to digest. Foot Specialist. Q. Mr. A. U. of North Bay, Ont., Canada, writes: "Your articles in The Chicago Defender on 'Keep Healthy' have always interested me, but most especially the last one on, 'Care of the Feet'; it has so as I am directly connected with it—foot specialist. But now, doctor, I have been so much inspired that I have decided to put myself under your guidance to obtain some of the works of the best authors on Chiropody and Orthopedics." A. One of the best Journals and official organs of Chiropody is the "Pedic Items," published at 1245 Lexington avenue, New York City. It is a monthly publication, up to date and full of useful information on Chiropody. Dr. Leroy R. Dago of Chicago, Ill., got out a year or so ago a very useful pamphlet on, "Keep Your Foot Out of My Mind," a strong talk on the feet. Any chiropodist following the information carefully is not able make many mistakes. Dr. Dago is a man of wide experience, and what he states in the said pamphlet is authentic. For works on Orthopedics you might drop a card to any of the leading publishers for a catalogue and select the one you would be most suitable to your liking. HEALTH NOTES. (From Board of Health.) It has been estimated by those who have had experience in rat-destroying campaigns that in the average city there is at least one rat per inhabitant. If this estimate is even approximately correct, Chicago has a rat population of 2,000,000 or more. It is also estimated· that the average life of a rat is five years; so that on this basis, 2,000,000 rats die in Chicago every five years. This would mean that at this rate of mortality, 400,000 rats die each year in Chicago or over 1,000 daily. Now, the query arises, what becomes of the dead rats? Health services, of the S. Public Health Service, of the quantitative officer for the Philippine Islands, has raised this same question in connection with his thorough and effective campaign of rat extermination in the city of Manila. He estimates that the rat mortality in p Healthy A. Wilberforce Williams ly Talk on Preventative s, First Aid Remedies, s, Sanitation. No Cases Diagnosed and No Pre- s will be Given in This Manila is not less than 30,000 a year; and yet in all his vigorous clean-up work in that city, a dead rat was rarely discovered. His observations also covered a careful investigation of the garbage destruction plants where, in several days' deliveries of garbage and refuse, only one dead rat was found. It was also noted that the sanitary officers were seldom troubled with complaints as to odors from rats that had died in inaccessible places; so that from no source was it found possible to obtain any definite information as to what becomes of the dead rats. Concluding his article in a recent issue of the Public Health Reports, Dr. Heiser suggests that further studies along these lines be made and expresses the belief that the knowledge, if it could be obtained, might prove to be useful in the destruction of rats and in ridding our cities of these dangerous and expensive pests. During these suitty August days, dress the baby lightly—the fewer clothes the better. The baby that is overdressed just to make it look sweet and pretty will be cross and uncomfortable, and cross because it is uncomfortable. And don't starch the baby's dresses, let them be as soft and comfortable as you know how to do. Babies that are healthy and good condition that need the pref of nice clothes to make them any more than you would use artificial aid to add to the beauty of a bunch of fresh-blown roses. So, in hot weather, the less clothes the baby has to contend with the better off it will be. Shoes and stockings should not be thought of. For every day wear binder and napkin, with possibly the lightest of short gown or skirt, are plenty. But there are some things the baby should have. It should have at least two baths a day. It should have a drink of cool—not deed—bottled water several days a week. It should have plenty of good fresh air and if dependent on cow's milk, it should be clean and pure. If you have a baby in the home, write to the Department of Health, and we will be glad to send you the little booklet, telling you how to take care of the baby. You know, if babies are worth having, they are worth saving. So let's save the babies. Ralph of Coggeshall, an English abbot of the thirteenth century, told a staggering yarn: The Orford fishermen brought up one day in their nets a sea man who had no hair on his head, but a long ragged beard. Kept in Orford castle, he ate fish and meat both raw and cooked, but could not be made to speak. Yet, when the fishermen took him out one day for a swim, he spread out and under the nets which they spread to land and his escape and grinned derisively at them, bowing them back to land and capability, last, however, the "wild man" had had enough of it, managed to escape to sea and disappeared. Novelists do not seem to be very strong in their knowledge of the scriptures somehow, and Sir Walter Scott in "The Heart of Midlothian" attempts to point a moral with the words: "Our simple and unpretending heroine had the merit of those peacemakers to whom it is promised benediction that they shall inherit" "The fact is that the peacemakers did not" any such promise, but it is said that "the meek shall inherit, the earth." A laborer in Columbus, C., had his broken leg partially reset by the concrete which had been dumped on him from a bucket. The blow of the bucket broks his leg, and the concrete, flowing out, made a firm cast around the limb. The doctors who finally got to work on the broken bone had first to remove the concrete, and report that the cast had done its work very well, even helping to reset the bone. Found That Hogs Could Jump. A Geary county (Kan.) farmer built a "hog-tight" fence around his feed lot just before he received a big shipment of Arkansas "razorbacks." The next morning the hogs were scattered all over the county. It was found that most of them could clear the fence with a standing jump, although some of them were compelled to make a running jump of it. But all of them could jump it. In Puritan times, though the bobbins were carved with texts warning the workers against the pumps and errors of this wicked world, lace was still worn to a great extent, the family of Oliver Cromwell in particular having a decided penchant for the more costly varieties, and after his death his body was clothed in a garment more richly trimmed with lace and ermine than that of any king before him. Does the Work of Hundreds. A machine has been perfected which pours any dry powder into a paper bag, folds the bag, makes a paper box and places bag and a folded circular within it, pastes on the label and seals the box, at the rate of one thousand five hundred boxes an hour. Rather a "Tall" Yarn. Broken Leg Set by Concrete Found That Hogs Could Jump Puritans Fond of Lace N. A. A. C. P. Fighting for You. There is no sane man or woman who is not willing to admit that nothing material can be accomplished except by organization. What organization will do is demonstrated daily in hundreds of ways, on a single pair of shoes, or garments, on everything to eat, to wear and to use; perhaps dozens of hands have been pressed into. It has been said and doubtless truly so, in the past, that we lacked confidence in each other, that all wanted to be leaders and we were more destructive than constructive. We must plead partly guilty to the charge and lay the blame at the door of ignorance. Today the reaction has set in, organization is one thing uppermost in the minds of thinking people, people who can forget self for the time being and work heart and hand the good of all. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is organization of loyal, earnest influence men and women of both races with a unity of purpose that is so well known that comment here is unnecessary. August 10, at 3 p. m., at Oliver Baptist Church, Dearborn and 27th street under the auspices of the Standard Literary Society, the second of a series of meetings in Chicago will be held, and the program is especially enticing. Opening remarks by W. R. Huff, baritone solo by Mr. William Murray, address by Hon. Robert McMurray, duet by Mrs. Blanch Strom and Mrs. Nelle Gregg, address by Dr. Charles E. Bentley, followed by remarks by the pastor, Rev. E. J. Fisher. The ever increasing race prejudice that is manifesting itself in many ways in this city should be incentive enough to join and aid in every way this national organization that is making such a successful and determined fight for justice and fair play. That the church will be filled to overflowing there is little doubt. Exposition of Negro Achievement In Chicago recently a Young Men's Christian Association building, complete in every particular, thanks to the combined philanthropy of 61 white and colored citizens, was dedicated to the use of the latter. The importance of this step in the direction of establishing a social center for the Negro population has been recognized by thoughtful representatives of both races. It is indicative of growing broadness of view, as well as of growing apprehension of the duty American society owes to the Negro, that Jews were as active and as generous as Christians in founding this institution. And now from Chicago likewise comes the proposal for a national Negro exposition and semi-centennial to be held in that city in 1915. The project is backed by business and professional negro citizens. These are at present engaged in enlisting the interest of their brethren throughout the country. The year named is most opportune for an accounting of the achievements of the American Negro. It will mark the fiftieth since his emancipation. There is an all too common belief that he has not advanced in proportion to his opportunities during the last half century. This is mainly due to ignorance, largely to prejudice. As a matter of fact, everything considered, he has made great progress in education, in the arts and crafts, in the industries, in business and professional fields. He feels this himself and is desirous, from the highest of motives, that his white fellow citizens shall recognize it. There are parts of the country where he has been numbered with the "submerged"; there are parts of the country where he is held to the most mental callings at present; but where he is granted latitude and opportunity, as in many southern communities, and among his own people in the North, he has developed and expanded in all ways. The purpose of the projected exposition is to show the nation and the world as fully as may be what the negro has really accomplished since 1863. He is not doubtful himself as to the showing he can make. On the contrary, he is convinced that it will surprise his friends as well as his critics among the whites, and that it will fix for him in the country with which his destiny is indissolubly bound a higher status than has so far been granted him. The interest and the welfare of the American Negro cannot very well be differentiated at this late day from those of the American white.—Christian Science Monitor (a white publication). Jones—"Are you serious in your attentions to Miss Hulks?" Bones—"Rather! Her father did me out of $40,000 on the stock exchange last month and I'll get that back if I have to marry the whole family for it." The Great Narrative of the Year "The Conquest" BY A NEGRO PIONEER In these chapters (as told by himself) is the story of a young sleeping car porter who was discontented; that is, he possessed energy and a desire to become more than just "George." To have a part in American progress, or to be "a cog in the wheel," was the big idea. "Go west, young man, and grow up with the country" was the final ultimatum. What followed this advent makes up the story of unusual interest. A thrilling tale of homestead development and town building with a strong human interest and a strange outcome to a love affair. It is truly a story of conquest. Des Moines Register and Leader—"An unpretentious narrative and should prove an inspiration to young men, both white and black." Western Laborer—"A revelation." Lincoln Daily Star—"A big story of Northwest development and love." Sioux City Tribune—"Does not bore you with so much rot about the race abuse and 'Negro problem' but is the problem of each and every individual."

Thomas Anderson, as anyone will routinely agree who inspects his picture, would not stand much chance in a beauty contest, but when it comes to contesting for prizes on cotton and corn he is a sure winner and always carries off the blue ribbon. Some fifteen years ago Anderson attended the Bible school department of Tuskegee institute. One of the requirements of all the students in the Bible school is that they must work on the farm and thus acquire some knowledge of scientific agriculture. Anderson did not impress his teachers as being likely to startle the world with his preaching and his career after graduating proved that their impressions were correct. After graduating from the Bible school and trying his hand at preaching for a while, he decided that the "P. C." call for him meant "Plow Corn," and this he proceeded to do. About five miles from Tuskegee Institute the land was so poor that it was only with difficulty that a fuss could be raised upon it. The people who lived there hardly ever raised enough to eat and so the district came to be known as "Big Hungry." Some twelve years ago a number of Northern philanthropists decided to buy a tract of land and sell it off in small lots to Negroes. The land in "Big Hungry" was, of course, for sale, dirt cheap. Four thousand acres were purchased and offered in small lots to colored farmers. Everyone said that the project would fail because only the farmers who had nothing could be induced to settled on the sandy hills. One of the farmers to locate there was Thomas Anderson. In his own time he had "nothing but a hard time, a good wife and a two-year old boy." His credit, however, was good and he bought forty acres of land on time. Within five years, by constant, patient toll and close economy, he paid for the forty acres of land, three good mules, three cows and $200 worth of farm implements. In one year, with one mule, he raised more than $600 worth of farm produce. In 1911 the state of Alabama offered prizes in every county in the state to any farmer, white or black, who would raise the largest amount of corn on one acre of land. Anderson, although living on what was considered some of the poorest land in his county, decided that he would enter the contest. By raising 65 bushels of corn on one acre, he won the state's prize of $25. He also won a number of prizes at the County fair. Although his cotton and corn that year brought him $55 in prize money. In other years he has been equally successful. In fact, he has never lost a prize for which he has entered into competition. What Anderson has done on some of the poorest land in Macon county, Alabama, can be duplicated in every section of the South if the Nero farmers will use the improved crops of farming, such as are taught by the Department of Agriculture of the Tuskegee Institute. Two Meals a Day Sufficient Though reticent on many matters, the British officers just released from a German fortress agreed in one matter. They found two meals a day sufficient. In England people are sometimes addicted to five—breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner and supper. The continental fashion is a snack for morning coffee, a midday meal and an evening meal. But when the great British marched through Asia Minor, and city, they provide food for the day, the people thanked God that Xerxes and his army ate but once a day. Concerning Eating. Let your heartiest meal be at night, or whenever your work for the day is over. Fruit, toast, soft boiled eggs and oatmeal make a good breakfast. When the intermission between hours of labor is short no heavy food should be taken into the stomach. Hundreds of persons who eat heartily and return to work almost immediately, afterward have dyspepsia. "It's more important to court the missus when you've married her than before," said an English judge, addressing a men's meeting. "But, " remarked a man in the audience, "you have to be careful when you've caught it." "The missus a 'bus,'" was the only retort suggesting itself to the judge.

A number of social affairs are being planned for the Chicagonians while away. Dr. George C. Hall was called to St. Louis, Mo., last week to perform a number of surgical operations by A. W. Cheatham. At a complimentary smoker given in his honor by the local medical association he addressed them upon the necessity of a new hospital there. He aroused so much enthusiasm that a committee was immediately appointed to formulate plans for a monster mass meeting to be held early in October, at which time Dr. Hall was to be the principal speaker. As a pioneer in hospital work the doctor deserves much credit. Through his influence the following institutions have been founded: at Clarksville and Memphis, Tenn. Decatur, Birmingham and Mobile, Ala., and one at Atlanta, Ga. Mrs. Martha Renfroe and her daughter, Mrs. Mary E. Martin, will leave this morning for the Benton Harbor summer resort, where they will spend a few days.

One of the very creditable efforts at self help is the baseball game to be played by the doctors and dentists of Chicago for the Old Folks' Home at Rube Foster's baseball park, August 16, at 39th street and Wentworth avenue. It is the theme of all Chicago that the Old Folks' Home is too small, lacking in many respects the amplitude of accommodating more than a dozen or so. The doctors and dentists have been practicing for several months, getting in shape for this great society event. It is regarded by the citizens generally that this demonstration for such a worthy cause should meet with the most hearty approval and patronage. SICK LIST Mr. S. J.

A short time ago he was called into the room to view his baby sister for the first time. His mother asked him what he thought of her. Taking a good look at her, he answered in a disgusted tone, "Let's give her a carrot."—Chicago Tribune. Largest of All Barometers The big barometer at Faenza, Italy, set up some years ago as a memorial to Torricelli, is thought to be the huest of all such instruments. The oil column in this barometer stands high, thirty-seven feet, and its fluctuations are read in instead of inches, as in the case of ordinary thermometers.

Stove repairing, etc. Household Repairing Co., Not Inc. Call Douglas 7298 BROKEN TO HARNESS BROKEN TO HARNESS By ELIZABETH SHEAR. In a moment of absentmindedness Burkle got married. It must have been absentmindedness or sheer mental aberration, for if Burkle had stopped to think he would have realized that he of all men was cut out for a bachelor. He had been a bachelor for over forty years and the habit was ingrained in him. When you have had nobody to consider all your life but yourself it strikes you as an imposition and a hardship to have another human being thrust upon you, especially if the human being in question has appealing eyes and coaxing ways and a general effect of demoralization upon you. Burkle was much in love, but the joys of this state were counterbalanced by the annoyance of being dragged out of accustomed ways. The two months' wedding trip was a succession of tears and forgivings, because Burkle was constantly forgetting that he had a bride and the bride naturally objected to that. Burkle often pondered on the inscrutable ways of women, who, it seemed, always wanted to be in the center of the limelight. He really could not blame Marie, however, because she certainly was worthy of being shone upon. Often when he found himself still bewildered over the fact that he was married one glance at Marie would be a sufficient explanation. Yet in spite of this dim comprehension Burkle was far from being completely broken. That is why the first day the Burkle leaves from their trip Burkle accepted joyously the invitation of "the bunch," as represented by Jones and Larkins. The two fell upon him at luncheon time, and, after much handshaking and congratulating, proposed a dinner downtown at the same old place where six or eight congenial souls had been accustomed to gather in the years that were gone by. Burkle was hungry for a sight of the boys and so he pronounced the idea bully. That afternoon he was extremely busy, and it was after six o'clock when he closed his roll top desk. "Gee!" murmured Burkle, as he hastily smoothed his hair and otherwise made an office toilet. "it certainly will seem good to see the old crowd again and taste one of Franconi's dinners!" In a pleasant dream Burkle locked his office and departed without noting the telephone staring him in the face or recalling his brand new flat and his bride waiting with a brand new dinner for his homecoming. That dinner had cost her a world of pains. Francouin's dinner was a very good one. Then the crowd proposed the theater and after that somebody proposed supper and there were stories to be told and cigars to be smoked, and when Jones said as he had always said before on these occasions: "It's late. Burkle—you'd better stop at my diggings just around the corner instead of going out to your station." Burkle, being sleepy, assented. Yes, he stopped at Jones' diggings. When he waited the sun was high and with glance at the clock Burkle bounded up and into his clothes. He recalled an important appointment at the office for nine o'clock, and he made a rush to get there on time. Now, when Burkle is engrossed in business he gives a remarkably good imitation of a man deaf dumb and blind to every other consideration. No thought but that of business on hand entered his mind. That was why when a couple of persons wearing square toed shoes and mysterious expressions entered his office and after staring at him suspiciously demanded his name Burkle was not agitated. He told them absentmindedly that his name was Burkle and continued laboring with his papers. One of the square toed men tapped him on the shoulder. "Maybe you’re Burkle," said the square toed man, "but you’re said to prove it. Burkle’s got a wife back from mysteries with two doctors and a trained working over her, because she says her husband is murdered and thrown into the lake—and you see you are not in the lake. Come on, now, and tell us about it." Some time later when the doctors and the nurse had departed Burkle surveyed his wife thoughtfully. There was a new expression on his face, the chief ingredient of which was still bewilderment. "Marie," he said, limply, "I don't see how I did it, really, I don't-you just go ahead and say everything to me that's in your mind and you'll feel better. But, darling—I'll never do it again!" And, all unknown to himself, the utterance of this promise marked the complete subjugation of Burkle. The harness was fitted to him at last. Trouble at the Gate "You can't come in here," said Saint Peter, as the sinner tried to bluff his way. through. "Just listen to your record as taken down by the recording angel." "I object to my exclusion on incompetent testimony," retorted the sinner. "I have not been represented by counsel upon my constitutional rights. The counsel must be sworn, and submit to my cross-examination at the hands of my attorneys, before a jury of my peers. "Sorry," said Saint Peter, "but the trouble with that is that all your peers are down below in the other place, beyond the jurisdiction of this court." Sounda Fishy. A French inventor has taken out a patent for the catching of fish by means of the telephone. It is stated that fish, when swimming, emit certain sounds which can be detected by the telephone. The inventor's apparatus consists of a telephone receiver and a detonator, which are sunk in the water and connected by wires to a post of observation on the river bank. When fish in any number pass the receiver a sound is heard by the waterer, who has only to press a button to explode the detonator. 31st St. Garage PORTERS AND every caller a customer.

Douglas 6965 CHICAGO --- "All Passes, Art Alone Endures" BERT WILLIAMS TO STAR. Klaw and Erlanger have announced intentions of putting Mr. Bert A. Williams, the great comedian, out in a big-production in the fall, which will be a great musical extravaganza of "Robinson Crusoe." Mr. Williams will play the part of Friday and the idea furnished great possibilities and should show him at his best. The piece will be presented sometime in November. Madame Sissieretta Jones, the original Black Patti, will appear the coming season in a three-act musical comedy in Will Marion Cooke. organizations have sur- into existence since the rehearsal of the but these organizations to connect them with Club or its production of Nod" appears post September, after which invitations.

It was built and will be operated by members of the race. It has a seating capacity of 1,100 persons. Two siows are given each evening and on Tuesday and Thursday there are mathews. Jamie Wise, the old Pekin favorite in this city, is starring this week along with Mason and Mason and the Thornton Trio. Admission is 10 cents and the house has been crowded since the doors were first opened. Friends in this city will be greatly surprised to learn that Mr. Rosemund Johnson, partner of the late Bob Cole, who has been dead two years the second, has taken into himself a wife. The bride, Miss Nora Floyd, halls from Jacksonville, Fla., and the marriage took place in London, Eng. The friends of Harry Haskins tendered him a benefit at the Washington theater Thursday and it was a huge success. Manager Kaplan donated the theater. Among those who took part were the Byron brothers, Kemper Herreld, the James sisters, Thompson, Cooper and Thompson, Lizzie Hart, Joe Jordan, George Bailey, W. Dorsey, Geo. Hall, Chas. Young, Chas. Settles and others. JOTTINGS THEATRICAL AND OTHERWISE. THE GRAND. Everybody seems to have fallen into the habit of going to the Grand at least once a week, and there are many who attend both the first and last half of the week, and there is no better way to spend an evening. The bills presented are always clean and elevating. Jerry Mills' own production, "The Census Taker," was down on the bill for the spotlight act, he being assisted by Lizzie Wallace and six other clever girls, consequently made good. Jerry has something up his sleeve for the near future that will make the patrons of this theater sit up and take notice. Morrisy and Burt, in "Classy Nonsense," was a scream, as the great Sylvester Russell would say. Alf Holt, as a mimic, has no equal and gave the audience a whole fund of new ones. The Curtis Sisters danced, talked and sang enough to get by and the bill was closed by Cornelia and Wilber, corking good, eccentric tumblers. THE STATES. It is wonderful the drawing power good music has, the crowds at the States have simply doubled since Joe Jordan and his famous Pekin orchestra appeared on the scene. Joe enjoys an enviable reputation in the musical field, both as a leader and as a most successful composer, and the management of this theater is to be congratulated in securing his services. Will Cole, Clarence Duncan and Sam T. Arnold, known as the Pekin Trio, made their first appearance at this house and there was such a riot of applause after they had rendered such numbers as "I'll Get You." and "Happy Little Country Girl"—it was easily seen they had over made good. Other acts and four first-run reels closed an exceptionally good bill. Foster's "A Railroad Porter," can run for two weeks easily. THE MONOGRAM. You can always look for something good when Perrin and Crosby are billed. There is no getting around the fact that Perrin is every inch a comedian and keeps you roaring from the moment he comes on the stage, while Goldie Crosby jumps right into favor with her clever dancing and singing; they are a big-time team. Ethlyn and Luke put over a few new songs, did some neat dancing and got off with a round of applause. The Banks Sisters with their Paris frocks and Margie Crosby, in a single, completed the bill. Manager Klein wore a broad smile as he viewed the waiting crowds to give him their little dimes. Miller and Lyles left Sunday night to fill a two weeks' engagement in Detroit. Thompson, Cooper and Thompson are playing at the Drexel theater this week and the "bookies" are fighting to see who will get their act; in the meantime, "If I Forget," is becoming more popular every day. Their act is out of the ordinary inasmuch as they use nothing but high class numbers. Madam Anitia Patti Brown will tour the Hawaiian Islands and the South and West this fall and winter. The madam is anticipating having a press agent and manager for the coming season. Mr. A. A. Brown, husband of the great singer, has seen the advisability of such and will no doubt secure one of the best in the business to look after the interest of the noted song bird white traveling. THE SOCIAL DRAMATIC CLUB. The First Christian Social Dramatic Club of Chicago, composed of members of the various literary societies and literary genii from the several churches in the city, are working overtime that it may be able to make its debut in the "Land of Nod," by Walter A. Ellis. The rumor that the "Land of Nod" will appear during the next week or so is in error. The management learned that several dramatic organizations have suddenly sprang into existence since the beginning of the rehearsal of the "Land of Nod," but these organizations have nothing to connect them with the F. C. S. D. Club or its productions. The "Land of Nod" appears positively early in September, after which it is open to invitations. It is not a financial venture, yet it does propose to draw out the dramatic talent of the race resident and produce the work of the worthy as well as entertain the literary public. The cast contains fourteen persons (male and female), including three members of its orchestra and a trumpeter. The plot is laid in the Negrold provinces of the East. Thoroughly religious as well as sentimental. Love element. A drama written by a Negro, for Negroes, and concerning Negroes. Names will follow at proper time. NELLIE A. GREGG, Secy. 2824 Armour Ave. City. THE STATES THEATER. "Playing to crowded houses, with matinees Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays, has surprised all of State street by its photo play. "The Railroad Porter," which was placed on the market by Mr. A. Foster, who was refused support by married men of the race. Finally a white gentleman loaned him enough money to get the machine. These pictures are the first to be placed on the market by a member of the race, which has as the leading lady Miss Lottie Grady as wife. Mrs. Cassie Burch Slaughter as wife's friend, Kid Brown as railroad porter and Edgar Ellison as walter, who palms himself off as proprietor of Elite Cafe and Bell Coles as policeman. The play is a scream, and already it is known from coast to coast. The management assured Mr. Foster if he will give his house the first of these pictures he will pay him well. A contract for same was drawn up before a reporter for The Defender this week. The pictures will be shown the rest of the week, and if the demand is great enough they will run until Wednesday of next week, when the "Butler" will be run, which is a high-class detective or kidnapping scene, with Mrs. Lizzie Hart Dorsey as leading lady.

THE TRUE REFORMERS. The True Reformers of Evanston and Lake Forest are arranging for public meetings and receptions on the 25th and 26th. The meeting on Monday evening, August 25, will be held at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Evanston, of which Rev. E. H. Fletcher is pastor, and the Lake Forest meeting will be held at the First Baptist Church on Tuesday evening, August 26. Mr. Floyd Ross of Richmond, Va., is scheduled to speak at both of these meetings, as well as other representatives of the order. State Deputy Bailey visited Waukegan, Lake Forest and Evanston this week in the interest of the Grand Fountain to complete arrangements for the meetings mentioned above. Mrs. Lou Ella Young is attending a convention at Duquoin, Ill., and will visit several places in Illinois and Kentucky before returning to Chicago. Rosebud 590 will give a lawn party and barbecue on the northwest corner of 38th street and Wabash avenue Tuesday evening, August 12, in order to permit old friends and acquaintances to renew their friendship. The general public is invited. Mrs. Cora Franks, Mrs. Fannie Williams, Miss Helen Tives and Mr. Albert Virden, together with several other True Reformers from Lake Forest and the north shore, visited the office at 3638 State street this week. Mr. A. Humbles, the vice grand worthy master of the Grand Fountain, and one of the leading Virginians, who recently spent some time in Illinois and Kentucky, speaks in the highest terms of his trip to Chicago as well as the future success of the organization. A circular letter, has been issued from the Chicago office inviting friends and former citizens of Virginia who would like to visit their old homestead and look over the beautiful scenery to make the trip with the Chicago delegates in September, while the rates are cheap. A reader asks this center of enlightenment to explain the meaning of the word "sabotage." Did your mother ever cut your hair? That's the apotheosis of sabotage.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER DOG NEARLY DROWNS MAN HE TRIED TO SAVE Thought Swimmer Was Sinking and Tears His Shoulder Dragging Him to Boat. St. Louis, Mo.—"Boots," brindle bulldog, in a misguided attempt to save Ora Leming of East St. Louis from drowning in the Mississippi river the other night, nearly drowned Leming and entirely spoiled his evening's swim. Leming, who lives at 743 North Twenty-seventh street, East St. Louis; Louis Bernero and Park Ashlock, "Boots" owner, went with the dog several blocks north of Eads bridge for the swim. Leming took off his clothes and leaped into the water from a raft. L. J. M. Grabbed Swimmer by the Shoulder. "Boots" became nervous, whined and looked inquiringly at his friends on shore, and then at his friend out there in the water with only his head above the surface. It was time for any self-respecting dog to do what he could for a friend in need, thought "Boots," and with a low growl of encouragement he leaped in and swam to Leming. He grabbed the swimmer by the shoulder with his teeth, and despite Leming's shouts he worried and dragged and tugged until both were nearly exhausted. After ten minutes, when it seemed to "Boots" that he never would save this strange fellow's life, a boat with two men rowed alongside and heaved weary and half-drowned "Boots" and the bleeding and water-soaked swimmer inside. "Boots" lay panting and gasping in the bottom of the boat, looking with weary-eyed satisfaction at the friend he had helped to live. Leming, between grimaces of pain, pressed his hand to his torn shoulder and with the other patted "Boots" caressingly on the head. "It's all right, old fellow," he said. "You meant well." And "Boots" whined joyfully and licked his hand. SLEPT WITH A RATTLESNAKE Two North Dakota Children Are Fatally Bitten by a Rattler in Their Bed. Beach, N. D.—A rattlesnake, which had become concealed in the bed clothing at the home of David Grant, a farmer living 14 miles from here, caused the death of two of their children when the little ones were unwittingly put to rest in the bed which the reptile was occupying. During the day Mrs. Grant had cleaning the bedrooms, and among other things, had placed the bed clothes out on the lawn for an aliring. In the evening after supper the clothes were carried upstairs and arranged on the beds, and a short time afterward the two children, aged five and seven years, were taken upstairs, undressed and tucked in one of the beds by their mother. After going downstairs, the mother heard the little ones quarrelling, each accusing the other of "pinching." She called upstairs, and after that they were quiet. When she went to bed, the mother went into the children's room, tucked the bed clothes in around them and then kissed them before she retired to her own room for the night. The next morning both the children were dead when the mother went to waken them, and peacefully sleeping between them was the snake. GIANT EAGLE ATTACKS WOMAN Bird Measuring Nine Feet From Tlp to Tlp Is Finally Killed by Georgian. Moultrie, Ga.—Mrs. C. W. Hall, who lives near here, was attacked by a monster eagle the other morning. Finding the huge bird attacking a pig, she tried to drive it away, when the eagle turned on her. The woman was badly scratched and beaten by the bird's wings. Her husband hurried to his wife's relief. The eagle, still defiant, attacked Mr. Hall and was killed with a fence rail. It measured from tip to tip nine feet, and is the largest ever killed in this section. Cow Has Litter of Calves. Powell Park, Colo—A cow belonging to E. O. Lloyd gave birth to five calves a few days ago and after a short interval added a pair of twins, making seven in all. The cow seems dumfounded and hasn't been the same bovine since the last of the litter arrived. She has a worried and expectant look. JUST TO SEE IF HE COULD RUN IT Novice Killed a Child With a "Borrowed" Motor Car. PULLED WRONG LEVER Tried to Put Brake on and Throw Clutch, but Instead His Foot Caught the Accelerator and the Machine Gave a Great Jump. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Edward Levy went by Douglas street the other afternoon and saw at the curb a motor car which he recognized as one his brother-in-law had purchased a few days ago. The idea came into his head, as he told the police later, that he "wanted to see if he could run it." Within five minutes he had driven crazily around the block, startling pedestrians, and had let the machine get away from him, plunge up on the sidewalk and plunge into a crowd, mortally injuring a child, and was being protected by the police from an excited mob that wanted to kill him. The motor car is owned by Bernet Wiseff, a fur dealer. He was calling at 1885 Douglass street when Levy came along. After Levy started the machine he managed to get it around the block, driving like a novice and causing 'people to rush off in panic at all stages of the journey. When he got back near where he started from the machine gathered speed. He tried to put the brake on and throw the clutch, but instead his foot caught the accelerator and the machine gave a great jump. He lost control of the steering gear, and the car went into the curb, bounding across the sidewalk and into a crowd of people airing themselves at the corner. In the midst of the crowd were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Freefeld of 1553 Pitkin avenue and their two-year-old son, Abraham. The machine made straight for them, the mother almost going under the wheels. The child was hit and thrown out of the way, and the machine stopped hard against the wall of a house. In an instant a movement was started against the terrified driver. The albert roth Lost Control of the Steering Gear. people were frenzied, and they shouted a desire to do harm to him. Luckily for him, there were several policemen there. Patrolmen Beheuser and Petrus seized Levy, starting off to the Brownsville station with him, but not until they and other patrolmen had used violent means to shake off the mob that tried to get at the prisoner. They were followed all the way to the police station. Meanwhile the injured boy had been hurried in a physician's car to St. Mary's hospital. His skull was crushed in. He died 15 minutes after his arrival at the institution. When Wiseff, ignorant of what had happened, came out of the house, he set up a shout that his machine had been stolen. When informed of what really had occurred he almost collapsed, declaring that he was not responsible, as the machine had been taken without his permission. This fact will cause an additional charge to be added to that of homicide, which Levy now faces. SWAIN MEOWS FROM A TREE But the Object of His Affections Did Not Approve of His Actions. Chicago.—John Wadjinski, who climbed a tree, straddled a branch, "meowed" like a cat until Sophie Emmerling appeared at a window in her home, and then tried to make love to her, paid a fine of $5 and costs before Municipal Judge Sabath at the Shakespeare avenue court the other day. He made no denial of the girl's charges and informed the judge that he has since married another young woman. Wadjinski lives at 2969 North Ridgeway avenue and Miss Emmerling lives at 2970 North Ridgeway avenue. While Wadjinski was perched in the tree and the girl was ordering him to climb down, Mrs. Anna Emmerling, her mother, called the police. When Wadjinski descended he found himself under arrest. "I knew he was going to marry another girl and I didn't want his attention." Miss Emmerling testified. "It's all done with now, judge," said Wadjinski frankly. "It happened, all right, but I married another girl. I tore my clothes climbing the tree." "Five dollars and costs," said the judge. As Romans Did. Chicago.-Latin students of Oak Park High school gave a "Roman banquet," and did as the Romans did. There were no chairs, the banqueters reclining on the floor during the meal.

Wooden practically threw away Quinn's chances. A Comedy of Errors. The Defenders beat the Emergencies in one of the worst played games at Washington Park Sunday, 29 to 11. There were errors on top of errors and although the winners were handicapped by the loss of their regular shortstop and third, they should have played a better game. The losers played a child's game. Avendorph, the captain, played third, and only once did he catch a throw from the catcher without dropping it, and that was in the sixth, then he forgot to tag his man as he slid under him. They were presented with runs, both in the first and the second. In the third, Carey lost control and three hits, one a homer, coupled with two passes and as many errors, gave them six more. They added again in the last, but what was being done to them is a shame to tell, for, if the Defenders field poorly, they never lose their batting eye. In their first, Thompson hit for a home run with the bases full and two out. In the second they shoved twelve runs across, eight counting after two were gone. Shut out in the third, they added two in the fourth and one in the fifth, when they went mad in the sixth again and scored ten. Then Mr. Avendorph said they had enough, and we thought so, too. There were so many home runs that we couldn't keep track of them. Henderson, Cousins, Thompson, Crawley, Barber and Todd getting circuit drives. Mr. Bronson, of Grace fame, was out, but left in disgust. He took part in the practice before the game and showed the youngsters that he was there. When he stepped to the bat he lined a vicious drive way over the left fielder's head that was good for the circuit. Foster finished the game for the winners, while Joe Thomas was sent to the cover in the second. Then, the next man was treated the same way when Avendorph sent Greene to the mound, but the ten runs proved his undoing and the captain threw up the sponge. There will be no game Sunday, as most of the boys are going to the rifle range and the manager is taking a week's vacation in Denver. The following Sunday the Lincolners are expected to make us play some real ball. The Doctors won from the Speed Boys, 15 to 10, in a practice game, getting ready for their benefit game. Had the Emergencies done as was expected, they would have walked to work for the rest of the week. The Defenders absolutely refuse to play any more games for sociability. So teams from now on take due notice. The best way to learn a thing is to learn how to stick to it.—W. Baston. Here and There. The Lincoln's have gone to Detroit, but will be back today for a game with Rube's men, and tomorrow they will play them again. The winner of today's tilt will play the Cubans as part of a double bill. Some people are peeved because they raised the prices. Well, you have to pay for quality, and they have certainly got their money's worth lately. These same people cried until the famous Rube went and brought the Lincoln Giants here. This is what no other manager has been able to do. A heavy guarantee, added expense by getting other players to help him, and trying to give the fans here a winning team is more than a notion. Then the prices are 75-50-25 in New York and the Lincoln wouldn't travel west and played under cut rates. Funny how some people holler, and they never knew what it was to see a game among those of their race unless forced to go to 70th street. Now it is a stone's throw from their homes. The game Saturday was a dream. Four hours and twenty-five minutes of playing, ten minutes between the games, and a half-hour of practice before the first game—all for four bits. Payne, a local boy from the Chicago Giants, played in left field as Gans was indisposed. Gans batted for Francis and Payne went to second, Lyod to third and Johnson to short, and the Cubans were handed a goose egg in that round. CLUBS AND SOCIETIE .

Woolley, who was guest of honor, for the work at the center. Tuesday evening, Aug. 12, at 8 p.m., the Mothers' Culture Club will meet.

(Special to Chicago Defender.) Jackson, Miss., Aug. S.—R. Iz Lee, of Greenville, passed through here this week en route to Chicago, to claim the estate of his father, William Henry Lee, of over $1,000,000, of which $200,000 is only accounted for. He stopped over to arm himself of more evidence to assure him of his father's fortune. He has his father's photo given him by his mother on her death bed, whom he left in the South when Robert was a baby, which tallies exactly with his photo, which was published in Chicago daily papers. Besides these he has letters with the firm's letter head, used about twenty years ago, signed "your husband." Will said if hand writing tallies with that of those of his up to his death, his son will receive this vast sum of money left by his father, who had to pass for white in order to gain his wealth. Robert is the exact image of his father, and this alone before any fair judge will bring this boy, a mail carrier, unto his own. Attorney W. G. Anderson has been engaged to handle the case, and it is more than likely he will receive the estate. Young Lee says, should he be successful he will not deny his race, but will do all he can to assist and help them.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER TRAINING SCHOOL FOR COLORED GIRLS State Charter Issued to the Amanda Smith Industrial School—New Corporation Enters Upon a Good Work. Harvey, Ill., Aug. 8.—After many years of trials and hardships the institution founded by Amanda Smith, the well-known evangelist and missionary worker, has succeeded in enlisting the co-operation, endorsement and support of strong friends of dependent children, and also the endorsement and approval of the State Board of Charities. This endorsement is shown by a charter for industrial training school girls issued about three weeks ago. Under the charter the officers have been elected and the practical work has begun. Judge Pomeroy, temporarily presiding in the Juvenile Court, last Monday committed two girls to the care and custody of the new school, and that commitment marks a new era in the welfare of our dependent girls in this state. The officers and members of the new institution represent many persons and organizations known by their good work in behalf of colored people. They recognize the need of an institution which will do active work in educating and training colored girls and will bring to that training concentrated heart service. These officers and members met Thursday afternoon for a conference with other interested friends in the Juvenile courtroom and a most helpful discussion of the plans and purposes of the new school was participated in by many of those present. The buildings owned by the Amanda Smith Home have been thoroughly cleaned, renovated and decorated and put in sanitary condition, so that the girls who enter the institution will find a pleasant home and be taught by teachers who are identified with them by strong ties of race kinship. Mrs. Phoebe Jones, for many years a capable and successful teacher in the public schools of eKutucky, is matron in charge and is most efficiently assisted by Mrs. Austin, also a public school teacher. Hereafter no boys will be taken at the Amanda Smith Home. Commitments of dependent boys are being made to the Louise Manual Training School, recently chartered and under the splendid and capable management of Mrs. Elizabeth McDonald, whose years of successful probation work peculiarly fit her for the duties of superintendent. The hardships, poverty and strain which marked the struggle of the Amanda Smith Home to take care of dependent boys and girls entirely through charity is now a thing of the past. Hereafter the county will pay $15 per month for each girl that is sent to this institution. To this most important work there should come from the people of Chicago, white and colored, prompt and generous aid. The current expenses will be met largely by the appropriation from the county, but the school should be enlarged, fully equipped, and with all modern agencies for the development and training of girls. New buildings should be added to the properties now being occupied. Colored dependent girls should have the same spendid facilities which the generous public have given to white dependent girls, and it is confidently believed that the generous donations made for the benefit of dependent white children will not fail to continue and bring similar help to the aid of the colored girls. Public interest will increase in this work from now on and no doubt all institutions interested in child welfare work will lend a hand toward making this training school equal to the best in the land. RAILROAD CENTER. By John R. Winston. Everybody is doing it, doing what? —read the Chicago Defender. Why? Because it is the paper that is read by white and colored. Because of its good, clean and newsy columns, and if you are the right sort of a railroad man, you will not hesitate to give Mr. John R.

HYDE PARK NEIGBORHOOD SETTLEMENT HYDE PARK NEIGBORHOOD SETTLEMENT The Right Thing in the Right Place. If there is any institution in the world of which the Negro ought to feel proud it is the Hyde Park Neighborhood Settlement. Although it has not been in existence eighteen months it offers to every one opportunities that other institutions give after years of existence. More than three hundred men, women and children use the reading room each week. The supply of books were found to be inadequate, so the public library kindly sent more than four hundred volumes of good books, both for adults and children. A class in fine Irish Crochet opened Monday evening at S o'clock with a good attendance. The dressmaking classes that meet every Thursday afternoon at three and Tuesday evening at eight are still progressing. The officers are opening a new field for our young women and girls who desire to earn an independent living. We guarantee work for those who become proficient in the art of good dressmaking. Here is an excellent opportunity for those who complain about any chance to be laudresses and housemalls. Now is the best time to start. A class in elocation has been in progress for two weeks. This is especially for young and timid children. Miss Luna M. Scott still has charge of the classes in piano. There has been a ready response in this department of work as music is almost a necessity in any home. Monday evening, August 11, a free illustrated lecture will be given to the boys at the Settlement, 5623 Jefferson avenue. Everything good that is possible is being done to lift the stigma that formerly rested upon the Negroes in Hyde Park. Much of this has been done already. Two years ago much prejudice existed, even among the children. For one year both white and colored have attended the Settlement, sitting at the same reading table, singing side by side the same patriotic songs and exercising with the same American flags, thus expecting to become good citizens of the same country, governed by the same equal and just law. Many claim that the Settlement has been so beneficial to the community that the moral tone has been raised 50 per cent. All workers for humanity are invited to visit the Hyde Park Neighborhood Settlement, 5623 Jefferson avenue. Miss Clotee E. Scott, founder and president. Don't Take the Lawyers Seriously. A lawyer in a courtroom may call a man a liar, scoundrel, villain or thief, and no one makes complaint when court adjourns.

He is always known in debate by his swift, biting retorts; certainly not the retorts of a man who has passed the allotted span of life as the senator has. "When I was a boy in Norway," said he, "we never thought of old men. A man, as he grew older, acquired wisdom and was not impaired in energy. It was the good, cold climate. No man can become sluggish if he once gets stirred up by a snowstorm." Senator Nelson has followed this hobby of health for years. Today he is recognized as among the most virile of the men in the upper chamber, and he will undoubtedly remain so for some time to come. DUCHESS OF FIFE TO WED Diplomatic and social circles in London are discussing with avidity the official announcement of the betrothal of Prince Arthur of Connaught, son of the Duke of Connaught, brother of the late King Edward, and the Duchess of Fife, elder daughter of the Princess Royal and Duke of Fife, and eldest grandchild of the late King Edward. The duchess, who is a favorite in royal circles, made her debut in May, 1909, when she was eighteen years of age. She is tall, good-looking and resembles her royal grandmother, who was also her godmother, Queen Victoria. She was chaperoned at the time of her debut, owing to the ill health of her mother, by Queen Alexandra. Prince Arthur is one of the most prominent members of the younger royal set. He was born in 1883 and was educated at Eton and Sandhurst, and during his younger days at the former university was "tag" for the son of William Waldorf Astor. former university was "fag" for the se The prince has been in the public As long ago as 1906 he was reported in daughter of the Duke of Rutland.

As long ago as 1906 he was reported infatuated with Lady Marjorie Manners, daughter of the Duke of Rutland. It was said their engagement would be announced at the end of that season.

BURLESON LIKES THE OPEN The Mexican revolution spolled for Postmaster General Burleson the one thing that above all others he was fond of doing. Previous to the outbreak of the maderistas he had been in the habit of spending six weeks in each year in the Mexican Sierrares with a party of friends shooting big game. Mr. Burleson always returned from these trips a new man. The wild camping life, the pure mountain al:, the solitude and freedom from care combined to fairly rejuvenate him. In public life of such sustained activity as his has been, the strain of constantly seeing people and talking with them is very telling, and he gained a respite from all such turmoil on these hunting trips to Mexico, for it was his habit to spend whole days in the mountain fastnesses hearing no sounds but those of nature or the occasional crack of his rifle. But the revolution took all that away, and now he must turn to other metho overworked nervous system. Under these circumstances he has exercise from day to day. He walks ventions permit. Mr. Burleson is ver to play around in the water, doing all and now he must turn to other methods of amusing himself and resting his overworked nervous system. Under these circumstances he has taken up walking to obtain needed exercise from day to day. He walks wherever he goes if time and the conventions permit. Mr. Burleson is very partial also to swimming. He likes to play in the water, doing all sorts of wonderful activities. "The Polar Bear of the Sonate" is the title which "Uncle Knute" Nelson, senator from Minnesota, justly bears. It is not without cause that he has been so named, for in the coldest weather the windows of Senator Nelson's offices are open and many and many a committee has shudded as it thought of entering his committee room on a snowy December morning. "Visit the north." Senator Nelson said, "and get out in the cold once in a while. That is what keeps a man young. Hot weather saps the vital energies. You know it is a well established fact that the southern races mature before the northern people. It is no fallacy. It is a fact." "What do you mean by getting out" in the cold?" was asked.

He steps out solidly with the tread of a man who is walking for the exercise. Following him, you will find that he keeps up the pace, without flagging, over the two miles or more to his home.
