GLENWOOD CEMETERY Sunday, May 30th, Decoration Day was observed in the usual manner at Mount Glenwood Cemetery. The special train was crowded with people who had planned weeks before to go to Mount Glenwood and believed beloved ones. This cemetery, which was established only a few years ago, has improved wonderfully and can now be ranked with any cemetery in the city. After the decoration of the graves, addresses were made by sev- enal men and seve- enal sang members. B. Billington who was recently taken into the association, said in his address that plans were under way whereby the full supervision of the cemetery would be under the control of the association. One improvement since last Decoration Day was the addition of the cemetery, which is nearing completion. Many were they who gave a last look as the train pulled away from the "Silent City of the Dead." DR. FANNIE EMANUEL HONOR GUEST AT WHIST PARTY. The home of Mrs. Walter Z.

MADAME WALKER REDEEMSHARP FROM MISS SPENCER Says She Has Buyer and Will Not Lose Money—Noted Hair Curulturist Was Fair and Square When She Wrote of Miss Spencer Taking Harp Unceremoniously. Some weeks ago there appeared a learn in the Defender from Madame Walke Spencer, with her the girl Spencer treated her and that left her home and took a harp she had stood for worth $1,000. Miss Spencer was without means and motherless. Madame Walker, with her good nature, made her as one of the family. There was nothing too good for her. There was nothing to be "feasting off the fat of the land." It was feasting off the left Madame Walker, taking harp and belongings when she was not at home. Mrs. Walker was sorely hurt. She felt the sting so badly that she decided that Miss Spencer had received too much of her good treatment and that the harp must be redeemed. On Pointed out of this week Madame received the harp as Miss Spencer was unable to keep up the payments, and now Madame Walker has a buyer and will not lose her money. DR.

ATHI List Bef BEING NEIGHBORLY SPLENDID ASSET TO GOOD HEALTH Department Experts Point Out Advantage of Being on Good Terms with the "Party in the Other Flat"—A Sample of the Many Complaints Made. (Press Service, Department of Health). It is important that people who live in large cities and under the conditions of modern city life should be kind, considerate and neighborly. This simply means that we should try to be as considerate of our neighbors' comfort as we would that they be considerate of ours. The complaints that reach the department must entirely in the fact that people are not considerate of their neighbors' comfort and safety. Here in substance is a complaint that came to the department just the other day. It is a fair sample of complaints of this kind, though in this particular instance the complaint suffered long time after the letter is a woman who complains that her neighbor, who evidently lives just across the court or narrow areaway, throws all kinds of dirty water in the areaway. Sometimes kitchen refuse is thrown into the complaint's window up her window, and in warm weather, when her windows are open, some of it runs on her dining room floor. The complaint says that she has endured this in silence during the winter months, but now that the warm weather is coming, when she would be in her window open, she feels she can stand this sort of unjust and unneighborly treatment any longer. It is easy to see that a complaint of this kind need never be made, except where people are either so selfless, thoughtless or ignorant that they have neither knowledge nor the desire to help, and they would like to be treated themselves. As a rule people do not like to complain of their neighbors. In most cases people will suffer in silence rather than send in complaints to the authorities. And this is why thoughtless, and we keep on doing the things that cause them much annoyance and discomfort. There is no doubt, however, but the great big factor in securing community comfort and safety is the intelligent co-operation of the people in being thoughtful and considerate of their needs. By doing this we can reasonably hope that the treatment they accord to others will be extended to them. A pure water supply is an important factor in conserving a city's health. For example, six years ago Columbus, Ohio, installed a modern filtration plant. Prior to that time they used a well supply and an unfiltered river. Six years prior to the installation of the filter plant their typhoid fever death rate averaged 63 per 100,000. For the six years since installing this plant this typhoid rate has dropped to an average of less than 17 per 100,000. For the former rate. Practically all this is provenment is credited to the use of pure filtered water. Screens all in? Good. No, you say? Bad. The summer days are close at hand, so swat the fly to beat the band. The baby that is born has the right to live. It has the right to have clean, pure milk, plenty of fresh air, and to be kept clean every day. In other words, these are its natural rights; to oppose and to defend those rights is a crime against a common humanity. As you go through life try to look at the sunny side. Shade and shadow do not make for either health or happiness.

"The Clansman" and "The Nigger" being barred from this city. In order to have something tangible to prove, Mrs. Gresham took the show, but could get only four others to see it. A committee was called, resolutions drawn at a massmeeting, and Mrs. Gresham and Rev. Cate and other ministers called Mayor Roth and presented arguments for the races. The mayor saw their plea was just and right, and he issued an order prohibiting them being shown. He said: "There shall be no picture shown in this city as long as I am mayor that will in any way cause race included or lead to the races." The mayor said further that he was acquainted with the fact that the lower house of the Illinois general assembly had passed a bill introduced by R.

It is just as important today to fight for our rights as it was for our fathers in the 60's. Such women should be ashamed to be expected for womanhood and their race.

Dr. Phenix read to the class the following letter, dated May 12, from Dr. Frissell: "I regret very much that there is little prospect of my being with you at your graduation exercises to deliver to you your diplomas and speak to you some parting words to express my affection and good wishes. I go to the hospital this afternoon and tomorrow expect to undergo an operation which will make quiet necessary for some time. I am sure that you know how fervently I pray for your health how strong a belief I have in you and how the services you are to render your people. Hampton expects every one of you to do his or her duty. May God bless you and keep you and cause His face to shine upon you." Dr. Phenix in his address omnidimensional the importance which Hampton puts upon character, rating character above scholarship. He said that every hour at Hampton, every task in the Army's final deployment, every exercise, the trade school offered students the opportunity of building strong character. Select Memorial Tree.

How cheering it is to see the sun come out after days of storm and cloud. All the while the weather is gloomy you know that the sun will shine out again in his glory, with fresh strength and life. It is like a gift newly bestowed on the earth. So in life there come stormy days and dark days. Remember that they will pass just as surely; they cannot last forever. You are disappointed in something, and perhaps that particular wished-for joy will never come to you. But it may be that something else just as good is on the way, something even better, it may be. Sorrow and grief should be assigned time, and other things enter into life that make it good, even as the clouds break up and float away and the softer light shines through at sunset. So there is always a worse that might have been. The dark days are for introspection, for remembering that few troubles are as heavy as they seem. Sunny days, better things, are at hand that will provide with cheer and healing like the welcomes rays of the sun—illwakee Journal. Advice of a Book Collector And hear me. If you would know the delight of book-collecting, begin with something else. I care not what. Book-collecting has all of the advantages of other hobbies without their disadvantages. It is common to all, that's where the sport lies, but the strain of the possession of books is almost nothing; a tight, dry closet will serve to house them if need be. It is not so with flowers. They are a constant care. Someone once wrote a poem about old books an fresh flower, but not very briefly; but I remark that books are older, and flowers do not stay fresh; a little too much rain, a little too much sun, and it is all over. Pets die too, in spite of constant care—perhaps by reason of it. To quiet a teething dog I once took him, her, it to my room for the night and the next morning I found that the dog had committed suicide by jumping out of the window—A. Edward Newton, in Atlantic. One of the latest reform schemes at Sing Stig Is that of letting prisoners dress up on Sunday. "One of the men was wearing the first white collar he had worn in ten years," Assistant Warden Warden Johnson is quoted as saying. "And he spent the whole of Easter morning telling how good it felt." It is said that now, if the men can afford it, they may on Sunday go as far as they like, even to silk underwear and fur overcoats. Way to Overcome Fatigue. A novel method of relieving fatigue is being employed by soldiers in the French army. The men take off their shoes, lie on the ground or any flat surface, and raise their legs at right to the body against a wall or other, upright support. The knees ankles and knees are worked. Rest in this position and the flood of blood that pours into the tissues when they get up is very reviving. The head should be raised as on a pillow. Felt She Hid Kick Coming.

Writer in the Atlantic Disinclined to Believe in Human Race is Advancing Rapacity After all, are freized motion and progress synonymous? Any kitten chasing its own tail might, if we were really observant, disprove for us much of our modern claim of great gain. Would any age of real progress talk so much about progress, and so loudly count its achievements? is not much of this done to hide the inner sense of loss and lack? Perhaps it is from a far-off country childhood that I derive a persistent belief, not obscured by all the noise and dust and glamour of our world, but by the many and many a day I have heard this glowing talk of progress, of widening intellectual horizons, and for many a day have watched the growing wistfulness of human faces. The more thoughtful become increasingly sad, while the number of the merely soild increases apace, as do the restless ones, with their apparent longing for distraction and change. Unfinished faces, unsatisfied faces, are familiar to us all. They lack the high record of experience greatly taken; expression that denotes profound inner life. To them are so comfortable, so enlightened, so thrilled, so thirsty, so estimable, that we surely ought to be happy! Yet we see few satisfied faces, such as we can remember from long ago, full of inner content, faces "on which the dee of peace sat rooding," and we pause to ask what our boasted progress has to offer in compensation for the great loss that has come through the seeming gain of these later years?—From the Atlantic Mountainous Grasses Greece is extremely mountainous, the only plain region worthy of the name being found in Thessaly. In this province is a large quantity of undeveloped water power, furnished by torrents which sweep through the plains in the rainy season, doing great damage, their course for the remainder of the year being marked by dry ravines. Vegetable Leather. The Japanese grow a plant which furnishes a sort of vegetable leather it is a pretty shrub called the "milt sumata," and its inner bark, after going through certain processes, is containing substance as tough as French kid, so you can almost see through it, and as pliable and soft as caskin. Spectacles Known to Ancients There are evidences in ancient writings that some sort of a spectacle was used at an earlier period than that in which de Spina lived, but to what extent or with what effect is not known. It is thought that for some ages the Chinese have employed spectacles for the relief of defective eyesight and probably they were known to the ancients. On the Safe Side. "Why are you so anxious to be friendly with old Smuthe?" we ask our acquaintance. "Even if he were your friend he wouldn't do anything for you." "I know that," replied our acquaintance, who occasionally ties up his money in stocks. "What I want to do is to have than so friendly with me that we don't want anything to me." Guportunity Ought to Use a Glue. "It may be true," said J. Fuller Groom, "that Opportunity knocks but one more mourn but so far as I am concerned, I must be fearfully hard of hearing, or else old Opportun hass a decidedly velvet touch." —Kansas City Star.

We hope for him an early recovery The First Disciple The apostle Andrew, a brother of Peter, was the first disciple chosen by Christ. Both Peter and Andrew were fishermen and left their business to follow Christ. The fate of Andrew after the death of Christ is uncertain, but the common opinion is that he was crucified. He is the patron saint of Scotland, and Russia has a Knighthood order of St. Andrew, the highest order in rank of that empire. Public Opinion in Russia Persigny once said to Napoleon III: "You can do almost anything with bayonets except st. on them." So you can do almost anything with public opinion in Russia except wholly suppress it by sitting on it—George Kennan in the Outlook. Teacher's Duty to Pupil It is the teacher's duty to furnish inspiration and enthusiasm, to set the pupil thinking along right lines, to put him in the way of finding out things for himself. If you can do this, much of the definite, practical working out of problems may be left for the home—Normal instruction. Historic Precedent Husband—"I wish you'd stop this everlasting cackling about my expenditures." Wife—"No, I shouldn't. Cackling saved the capital of Rome and saw to see if I can't save your capital that way." — Boston Transcript. "Hazel, what is a secret?" I asked my little niece the other day. "Oh," she replied, "a secret is for anyone to have no one to know something but you and someone."—Chicago Tribune. Just So. "How does your wife propose to spend her summer vacation this year?"

"JOLLY TEN" SOCIAL EVENT OF THE WEEK (By Evelyn Redmond) DON'T BOTTLE THE "WHYS" Excellent Reasons Why Child Should Even Be Able to Quiz Questions, of All, Sorts. One father who has had some success in training his children to think and act for themselves well and wisely, declares that the secret lies in answering all their questions fully, frankly, and sympathetically, says the teacher. He tells the child everything he knows in each question that is asked, and if his knowledge is not adequate, spares no pains to make it so. The method is not always convenient for the teacher, but it results in a surprisingly large fund of information for the pupil, an ever growing desire for more, and a growing need for enlightenment and a sense of responsibility for his own conduct. Aside from the inconvenience, the reason why parents so commonly object to this way of dealing with the questioning habit is the fear that the questioner will make any exceptions, but experiences proved that the fear is groundless. Instead of making himself disagreeable, the child usually acquiesces. He is willing for once to remain ignorant; for having learned that his father and mother are sympathetic and realizing that in case it is not possible for them to explain, and so is content to obey without knowing why. For Refreshing Sleep A common cause for restless sleep is a bed with sagging springs and cobble-stone mattress. For the victim of insomnia money spent for good springs and mattress is well invested. It is difficult to relax your head resting on a hill, your feet on another and a bottomless abyss between. There are countless schemes for forcing relaxation when sleep comes reluctantly. Sometimes it may help to count imaginary sheep filing through a breach in a stone wall, or just to count slowly until you forget yourself. But we imagine a better plan is to think away back and to recall memories of childhood and the little incidents of childhood days. A dark room, cold air, warm night clothing, warm feet, comfortably filled stomach, a good spring and mattress, and above ail, a clear conscience, will permit relaxation and refreshing sleep. Extent of His Unpopularity "I am so cordially detested in this community on account of my plain speaking," confessed Grout P. Smith, "that I shrewdly suspect that if I sought to obtain some deadly drug with which to commit suicide the same harms would be inflicted, simply for our own of fooling me,"*Kansas City Star*.

Olive Oil In Nursery For a child who is emaciated from illness a massage with olive oil once or even twice a day will supply the needed fat to the body and also lubricate the dried-oat skin. A teaspoonful of olive oil three times a day is a good tonic, good for digestion and a mild laxative when given to a baby an hour before or after a feeding. It will also soothe a tickling cough. Olive oil is also healing for burns, chapped lips and hands. Avoid Colds. If you want to avoid cold in your house, watch for the first sneezes and try to keep the germs from spreading.

WHAT MAKES STARS TWINKLE Scientists Explain That The Rays of Light From Them Are Bent by Our Atmosphere. The question is childhood. "What makes the stars twinkle?" was answered probably by a bit of vague poetic fancy. But men asking the same question sought scientific explanation and found it. Although we live upon its surface, we are not on the outside of the earth, but at the bottom of the sea of air forms the earth's outermost layer layer of water to a height of many miles, says a University of Wisconsin press bulletin. We cannot see the stars save as we look through this atmosphere, and the light which comes through it is bent and oftentimes distorted so as to acquire serious obstacles to any accurate telescopic study of the heavenly bodies. Frequently this disturbance is visible to the naked eye, and the stars are said to twinkle—namely, to quiver and change color many times a second, solely in consequence of a correlated condition of the air and not from anything which goes on in the star. This effect is more marked low down in the sky than in the zenith. It is worth noting that the planets show very little of it because the light they send to each comes from a disk of sensible area, while a star, the moon, or a planet has its disk reduced practically to a more point whose light is more easily affected by local disturbances in the atmosphere than in the broader beam which comes from the planet's disk. At all times, whether the stars twinkle or not, their light is bent in its passage through the atmosphere, so the stars appear to stand higher up in the sky than their true positions. ADVICE TO SPEED WALKERS Novice on Track Must Learn to Hold Himself "Well Balanced on His Pins." In starting on the track the novice should hold himself as erect as possible, without, however, leaning at all backward, the arms at the sides, with the forearms in a horizontal position, at right angles to the part of the arms above the elbows. He should have a feeling of being "well balanced on his pins," says the weight must be kept on the heels—therein lies the chief secret of walking fairly. Speed depends on two factors, the length and the frequency of the stride. Experiments prove that the length of the stride be greater as the frequency increases. Arm action should be carefully cultivated. Properly used, the arms seem to act as levers to lift forward or backward, helping to balance it. In each stride one foot always on the ground and at some moment of the stride some part of both feet should be on the ground simultaneously. Second in the first necessity, walk "heel and toe"—that is, the heel of each foot should strike the ground unmistakably first and the toe of each foot should be the last part to leave it. Third, the heel should strike the ball of the foot or any part except the heel striking the ground before the heel does. Lastly, the knee should be "locked" at the end of each stride. Second leg should be stiff and taut as the loose leg swings out for the next stride. The earliest date at which drums were carried on horseback in England appears to be 1642, when Henry VIII. of England could be played on horseback "after the Hungarian manner." Mounted bands were in vogue in the last decade of the eighteenth century, the two in 1896. of life guards having them Chinese Salt Wells Salt wells in China have been operated for hundreds of years, and in the Tzelinchin district, especially, the Tzelinchin district, especially, in some cases the wells are 300 feet deep.

FRANKJOHNSTON JR. IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE First Assistant State Attorney, Aspirant for Circuit Court Bench, Is Praised by Associate —Fair and Square Young Man Without Race Prejudice. HIGH-CLASS CANDIDATE. Endorsed by the Non-Partisan Progressive, Voters' League of Chicago —Promises Fair Deal to All Citizens —Should Be Elected. In the campaign for election of judges now on there are a large number of competent men. Most of the old judges have been renominated. Party lines no longer any guarer. The people of Chicago want the best judges for judges. The newspaper, Mayor Thompson and all public-spirited citizens are demanding that par M. R. Frank Johnston, Jr., first assistant state's attorney, candidate for judge of the circuit court. Readers of the Chicago Defender will make no mistake in voting for him. In the selection of judges ability and not politics should count. tisbitship be done away with, and those who are fitted by training, temperament and capacity for judges be chosen. Among all the names of both parties none is better fitted for judge than Mr. Johnston. Jr. now first assistant state's attorney of Cook county. Mr. Johnston has practiced law in Chicago nearly twenty years. He was in the corporation counsel's office for the number of years under Mayors Harrison. Dunn Justice for All Races. While in office he handled some of the most important litigation connected with the city's rights. But more important to the Defender than almost everything, his friendlessness to the colored people, out his whole career he has always shown himself to be a true and tried friend, and we are personally assured that if he is elected judge he will see that the law is enforced and that every citizen should be without regard to his race or color. The Defender has made a number of inquiries about Mr. Johnston and the unanimous opinion of all who know him that he is the kind of man that every law-abiding citizen should vote Praise from Associate. The following is a sample of the letters we have received from persons of whom we have inquired about Frank Johnston, Jr., Editor of the Defender: You made some inquiry of me about Frank Johnston, Jr., first assistant state's attorney of Cook county, in respect to his fitness for jury duty. His attitude is toward colored people. I have been in the office with Mr. Johnson more than two years, and I can truly say that Mr. Johnston is a race prejudice and has insisted at all times that every man have a square deal, regardless of his color. As you know, personally, I am unto sensitive and would not tolerate a person of a person with whom I was work- COLERIDGE-TAYLOR RECITAL A SUCCESS Carl Ditton and Mrs. Willa Sloan Possess Marked Degree of Training and Temperament. The engagement of Madame Willa M. Sloan and Mr. Carl R. Ditton as assisting artist, for the second annual May music festival, given by the coleridge-Taylor club in Central Music Hall on Friday last made the evening of great success. Out of these two artists the program rendered by these musically inclined persons under the direction of H. T. Jackson would have gone down in musical history as a sad disappointment. Mrs. Sloan, a soprano, who is endowed with a beautiful voice, clear, sweet and bell-like in quality, sang a very exacting group of songs by such composers as Dellisle, Ware, Ware, and the noted English composer, Landon Ronald (Japanese), engaged in war with Germany). Madame Sloan's voice displayed hoarseness, which she mastered in a highly way and only one with which she could have detected the huskiness of her voice. She did all the Madame sloop over it all. Her part of the program comprised four songs of varying moods, pathos in "Weep, Gwern-worrs Gwern," happiness in "Joy of the Morning," and contentment in "Down in the Forest." Madame Sloan received many beautiful flowers and was easily the queen of the evening, and with her lovely voice growing popularity is destiner to become the most famous of our really great sopranos, for she is charming to hear and see. Mr. Diton, the piano soloist for this occasion, demonstrated in his interpretations of the "Prelude in C sharp" to be chastened in the F minor in B Minor, "Polonisse in F Minor," "Waltz in F Minor," Chopin, his right to be clasped as a pianist and artist of the first rank. After such masterly playing of the "March Millennium," he was applauded to the echo and applauded for an encore, so wonderful it was. Mr. Diton, with his delicacy of touch, his beautiful singing tone, and his marvelously faithful manner of playing all go to make him one of America's foremost pianists. The body of the Theodore-Taylor Club was augmented by the Preservation Society and these two organizations would do well to prepare standard choral numbers instead of ordinary choir anthems when they make their third journey to the center of musical activities of this city. Their rendition of the "Pilgrims" Chorus from "Tannahauseer" was well received by the musical health of this large body of faithful singers should do one hundred percent better next season. Mr. Thomas Theodore Taylor, accompanist par excellence, did his share to make the evening an enjoyable one. Mr. James A. Mandy, former director of the Coleridge-Taylor Club, sang "Cocaine the Night" (Bohm), and the "Prologue" from "Faglencer" (Leconcavello), in talian. Despite Nature crying outside as though her heart was breaking with joy, or what not—probably in view of the fact that such beautiful singing of the music of the Musical Club in Central Music Hall—the audience thoroughly appreciated the effort made by the club and will await their third annual appearance. Notwithstanding, the Inclemend weather a goodly number of Chicago's most prominent musicians and music lovers were out to hear the artists and club on last Friday evening. R. G. G. The following criticism appeared in the Chicago Journal of May 31, Mr. Carl R. Diton will again appear in Chicago under the auspices of the Coloridge-Taylor Club. The club will also be supported at this time by some of the Chicago artists. Musically and financially the May Musical Festival was a success, invitations are coming to the club or its representatives to appear: "Carl R. Diton, pianist, became a prominent figure in the concert given by the Coleridge-Taylor Club at Central Music Hall last Friday night. He is without question the greatest musician of his race who has appeared in Chicago within the last half-dozen years. He has been competently and thoroughly schooled, and he possesses ing to show prejudice. I think I can truly say that Mr. Johnston does not know any such thing, and that if he is elected judge the colored people of Chicago will have a stunnch friend on the bench.

Mr. Langston has a reputation for being one of the most finished crayon artists hereabouts and his work last week made his stock go skyward. He drew pictures as Lincoln, Roosevelt, Wilson, Oscar De Priest and Mr. Russell. There was a lot of excitement, but it too teased the late Abraham Lincoln, Mr. Diggs, the tenor, is always appreciated and he sang very good "When I Leave the World Behind." The act which was second on the bill was a knockout. Harrison Stewart and his wife Vivola was the other act that went big, both being favorites of the Grand and big time houses. The San Jose Opera was always good and this was better than the Broadway May Act, Dave Peyton's orchestra and first class pictures furnished a splendid evening's entertainment. THEATRICAL REVIEW By Tony Langston. The Grand. The delayed engagement of Gene Greene opened here on Monday night and drew crowded houses at both shows. Gene is well named "The King of Ragtime," and, working with an expert piano accompanist, puts his stuff over in clever style. Eddie Musielian, introduced several novel features well, and Cleopatra in an illusion act was good. Sol Sirius in a Yiddish monologue introduced several parodies on popular songs which took the house and forced him to respond to several encores; and a good sketch called "Who Was to Blame?" was written and company, who completed a good hill. This house goes into pictures beginning Monday, June 7. The Old Monogram. The bill here this week was right up to the standard, and every act received well merited applause from large audiences nightly. The Shatner brothers enjoyed popularity, continued to do so, and Hantree Harrington in a good monologue went well. Howard and Day, the other act on the bill, were good in an up-to-the-minute singing, and completed a well-balanced bill. The New Monogram. This was headliner week here, the acts used being among the best in the country. The bill was opened by Sam Davis in his monologue that was followed by Perrin and his wife over in conventional style. The third number introduced Gaines and Brown on this time, and they were a riot. Next week brings Chicago's old favorite, Lottie Grady, who is doing a classy engagement in Chicago for some time, and she is sure of a hearty reception. The Pekin Business, continues to increase here and that fact is well merited when the quality of the features shown is taken into consideration, which included "Life's Crossroads," "The War Dog" "Charley Chaplin in a mult-reel film," "Evidence," "The Lure," "The Strength of Jimmie Holland," "When We Were Yours and "War at Home." Sunday brings the sensation of the year, "The Escape," in seven remarkable reels. No increase in prices. The Lincoln.

GOT HOLD OF WRONG HOSE Colored Man Intended to Make Paste, But Instead He Landed in the, Police Court. Covered with white from head to foot, the prisoner looked like a snow man. "With what is this man charged?" asked the court. "I saw a white cloud," replied Officer 666, "and I thought he was trying to blow up a building." "What have you to say for yourself? For answer the prisoner puffed out a little white cloud and coughed up enough flour to make a batch of biscuits. "Can't you speak? A negative shake of the man's head sent flour into the atmosphere like hair from a woolly dog. "Who? This time the man managed to mumble a half-smothered "No." "Then what on earth are you? After several false starts the prisoner finally blurred. "Who? Did you fall into a four bin? Rubbing his face until a dusky skin began to show through its white coating, the prisoner explained: "No, sah.

WHAT MAKES STARS TWINKLE Scientists Explain That the Rays of Light From Them Are Bent by Our Atmosphere. The question of childhood, "What makes the stars twinkle?" was answered probably by a bit of verse or posite fancy. But men asking the same question sought scientific explanation, although we live upon its surface, we are not on the outside of the earth, but at the bottom of the sea of air which forms the earth's outermost layer and extends above our heads of many miles, says a University of California professor. We cannot see the stars save as we look through this atmosphere, and the light which comes through it is bent and oftentimes distorted so as to present serious obstacles to any telescopic study of the heavenly bodies. Frequently this disturbance is visible to the naked eye, and the stars are said to twinkle—namely, to quiver and change color many times a second, solely in consequence of a sudden condition of the air and not from anything which goes on in the star. This effect is more marked low down in the sky than in the zenith. It is worth noting that the planets show very little of it because the light they send to each comes from of sensible area, while a star, being of sensible area, has its disk reduced practically to a mere point whose light is more easily affected by local disturbances in the atmosphere than in the broader beam which comes from the planet's disk. At all times, whether the stars twinkle or not, their light is bent in its passage through the atmosphere, so that the stars appear to stand higher up in the sky than their true positions. Knew Whereof He Spoke One day, in the lively old time of cowboy activities, a timid tenderfoot at Bitter Creek asked tremblingly if that bad man, Bill Busher, was hanging around there yet. "No," replied the native who was asked. "But he was last week. "Are you sure?" the tenderfoot. "Positive. I had hold of the ropes." Looking Backward. Certally we get sense as we grow older. Every man can remember when he wanted a revolver and a mandolin. —Pittsburgh Post. Last Sigh of the Moor.

Why Elephants Are Hard to Kill Why Elephants Are Hard to Kill. To shoot an elephant and bring him down at once is a highly delicate and dangerous task. You must send the bullet straight into one of two or three spots on the animal's body or run the risk of losing his life. One is the hollow just above the elephant's trunk. A side shot can be used to answer the purpose as effectively and it is a safer one to try. Early Martial Music Almost from time immemorial our soldiers have marched to battle to the tune of the drum or the skirling of the harp, but the most important, however, the most important, early records of martial music is that concerning an episode in 1333, the date of the battle of Haldion hill, when "the Englysche mystrelles beaten their soldiers in battle" and armor, amps, and pipers pipedene loud and made a great schowe upon the Skottes.

It has been observed that a house fly can mount almost directly upward to a height of 45 feet or more. The time of day appears to influence the dispersal of flies, as, apparently, when set free in the afternoon they do not scatter so well as when liberated in the morning. Uncle Eben.

Holtzclaw, principal of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute of Utica Mississippi, is a beautiful and fascinating story. Its pages team up with humor and pathos. Its Literary Center offers writers of the race and its substance is full of interest throughout the volume. Mr. Holtzclaw is a graduate of Tuskegee and has founded the Utica school upon the same basis and principles of the Tuskegee school. Possessing an indominable will and unfailing courage with almost superhuman effort, without money or influence, began to lay the foundation of a great industrial institution in the open air under the shade of the great oak trees of Mississippi. It has been aptly said that courage consists not in blindly overcoming obstacles, but in conquering it, and thoroughly fulfilled the phrase. His story recites the many dangers of failure which he had to conquer in order to raise his school from the bare ground to a magnificent institution that ranks among the best of its peers. In his few years—about twelve—he has created this great institution, with an enrollment of more than 500 students, 35 instructors, and property comprising 1, 000 acres of land, on which there are 14 buildings erected by himself and the students. The property contains 232 acres, nearly printed; net price, $1.50. The Nacle Publishing Company, New York City. EARLIEST ECLIPSE ON RECORD Chinese Astronomers were Punished for Not Predicting One That Must Have Occurred Messrs. Hirayama and Ogura have published in the Proceedings of the Tokyo Mathematica-Physical Society the results of their attempts to fix the dates of some early cellos reconstructions. The earliest is mentioned in one of the books of the Shu Ching, where it is recorded that in the reign of Chung Kang, the fourth emperor of the Hsia dynasty, there occurred an ellipsoid of the sun which had not been predicted by the astronomers, who were alleged to have been selected their duties. Hence the customary rites for delivering the sun, which should have been arranged in advance and superintended by the astronomers, were in the emergency performed by other officials without proper preparation. The emperor acted upon the army to punish the astronomers. A later document makes it possible to fix the date of this event as October 13, 1217 B. C. (Julian calendar) the earliest recorded eclipse in the world. Calculation shows that there was a solar eclipse on that date, but it is not clear though the elements of the motions of the sun and moon are not accurate enough to indicate certainly the path of so remote an eclipse. The authors are inclined to think that the information fixing the date of the eclipse is due to Chinese astronomers who observed that the eclipse occurred on that date and erroneously supposed that it was visible in China.

QUIT YOUR CRYING. Dey ain't no use a cryin® "Cause yo habent dis or dat; Er wishin’ an’ a sighin’ Yor wuz thin wien yo! is fat. Der’s nothin’ very pleasin’ t In complainin’ all de white, But lots of sence an’ reason Fer an everlastin’ smile. HOW DIFFERENT—WE. THE REASON, AND THRE ONE great reason, the race is Kicked so hard, is because it refuses to open its eyes. LISTEN, the Pullman Company pays their porters $27.50 per month and fine them if a comb, towel or soap cake is taken from their car, besides paying for their meals and a decent place to sleep, and if a passenger chooses to slap their faces on one side and wishes to slap the other, and they refuse to take operation thirty days or a discharge is imposed. BUT LOOK, the “L” and surface line men in our city (white of course) both native and foreign, told the company and the city if you can split the profit of $2,421.25 fifty fifty so to speak, you can give me living wages. Then these white men get everything cheaper with a CHANCE of promotion, and yet they kick. The Defender feels that if the Pullman Company don't care to give the living wages they could at least give them a chance to rise in the service to a higher degree than an ABLE-BODIED porters or when he is 75 or So years old make a night watehman of him when he had done that duty for over thirty years before, and to SOAK the porter good and strong. Each Fourth of July the company will ‘cut a $7,000,000 melon for its stockholders; on the same day the porter’s’ pry in fines and lay-offs something like $5,000 in the aggregate, and “this is placing it mildly. Yet there are a num ber of porters “white folks niggers” who would have the world believe that they can live on the amount paid and we believe them, for they are of the one-room cabin stripe, and have never been used to anything. ‘The Defender is pleading for that class of porter who does not PLAY THE NIGGER; attends strictly to business, does his duty to the passengers and does not go around telling the brakeman and “con” his family history, but gives the company a full forty= eight hours for a day and then goes to his dungeon only to be scourged by the litle upstart if he oversleeps, The porter need never hope for| a thing so long as they refuse to demand it. THE LAN will be of no assistance; the slaves were given their freedom, but look at him today—a worse slave than of yore. THE, like the porter, will never be free wntil he demands his rights God gave him, OUR OWN 8TH REGIMENT. OUR HEARTS, regardless of “(hat ere burns brightly that patriotic fire t have.

DEEP IN: OUR HEARTS, regardless of “What our lips may utter at times, there burns brightly that patriotic fire that every true American should have. And those who witnessed the parade on Dec- oration Day can attest to the truthfulness of this assertion, Not only were we, as a race, proud of the splendid showing of the Sth, but all along the line could be heard words of praise. Mayor Thompson and other high officials rose from their seats in the reviewing stand and saluted them as they passed, and well they might—the Sth is the crack regiment of the State. Since the erection of the new ar- mory two new companies have been formed and the old ones brought up to their full quota. ‘The new home has acted as an inspiration, for the best young bloods of the city are now wearing the uniform of blue ‘and with their youth comes the laudable ambition to make their regiment second to none in the service. The band under the intel- ligent leadership of William Berry has gained a reputation for ex- cellency that is nation-wide in its scope. There were wild shouts and enthusiastic hand-clapping when Colonel Franklin A. Denison gave the advance news that the bill appropriating $75,000 for the comple- tion of the armory had passed the Senate and only needed Governor Dunne's-signature to be effective. The governor, it will be remem- bered, said at the dedication his whole heart and soul was in the “cause, so we need have no fear of his support. With two such staunch supporters as Messrs. Jackson and Turner in the House the race can feel that their interests are well cared for. We are justly proud of the 8th Regiment and the influence it wields on a big city like Chicago.’ The officers are of high calibre, and their tact and wisdom is reflected in the men under their charge. Again we say we are protd of the Sth Regiment. CIVIL SERVICE. In SPRINGFIELD THE CITY CIVIL SERVICE COMMIS- SION attempted to discover authority in the statute giving. them the right to issue a call for separate examinations for colored and white, but failed. Wouldn’t that be a pretty how-de-do? What a farce civil service would be if this sort of ruling became general. As it is race applicants here and elsewhere have a hard time getting off the eligible list even though their standing is near the perfect mark. ‘There are so many so-called legitimate loop holes to keep the dark brother out, though certification from the list must be without pre- judice. If, however, we took a separate examination and were placed on an exclusive list, the commission would have the power to say how many, if any, were to be put to work, and it wouldn't be a hard stretch of imagination’ t9’see every possible place filled with ‘White applicants before one of ou number was called, Where we now have hundreds in’the.postoffice department we would be lucky if we had a few dozen. Guz men and women enter this field of work better prepared 'than the average white applicant, and the reason is plain, coming jfrom high schools/-colleges andi universities as they do, and finding the door of prejudice slammed in their face, it is the one fraven open that even in a slight measure appeals to them. Civil service has been a godsend to us, and though the présent administration in Washington, has tried to upset the boat, we are still sailing under cover of right and justice as es- poused by the substantial American citizens, A FLAMING SWORD. THE SPECTACLE OF ITALY’S ENTERING THE EURO- PEAN WAR almost solely through the urging of her poet and dramatist, D'Annunzio, leads us to reflect that today we have no great central figure in our race life to spur us on to duty or ‘iridescent dreams. Mr. Washington’s propaganda of industrialism, effective though it is, lacks the power of inspiration as to ideals and emotions which is necessary to move the masses into great deeds. ‘The spell of oratory which a few decades ago the race possessed, and which opened the gates of sympathy and consideration we so sorely needed and still-have a dearth of, seems to be now all cold and still. Certainly the struggle for existence leads to the unceasing striv- ing for the material things and flesh pots, but we should find time for ideals and dreams as we do for “rag time” and the ephemeral vaporings which now characterize us. Let us get riches and knowledge and independence, but let us also preserve the natural poetry and imagination with which we are richly endowed, and pray the immortal gods to raise up from amongst us A Flaming Sword to burn us with his eloquence into the white heat of grand and lofty things.

PASSING NOTES. NOTES ARE STILL FLYING between the United States and Germany, and in the ‘meantime the dear public is sitting on the anxious seat, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. That Uncle Sam will insist upon protection being given his subjects: and ships is un- questioned, and Germany is equally as positive that submarine war- fare is her strongest fort and that she will continue to use this method of warfare regardless of the consequences. No doubt she feels that fone more opponent would make very little difference at this stage of the game, and if she must go down it is more glorious to say the world was against her than merely a few countries. ° Germany may not have stuck strictly to war ethies or the inter- national compact, but the right is far from being all on one side. America is having a hard time trying to be neutral, due in a great measure to the fact that her citizens are made up, in the main, of immigrants from every land. Whether we are or are not prepared for war is a much mooted question ; but who, save a few hot-heads, wishes to plunge the country into turmoil? President Wilson is acting wisely in the present crisis and we can afford fo act on his judgment. THE CAVE MAN. THE DRAMA OF TODAY which is most popular exploits the aboriginal cave man who captured his female by force and held her captive by chains and might. A few centuries ago woman was lured into the bonds of holy matrimony through romance and sentiment. She loved to dally in primrose paths and sip nectar from the fount of love and beauty. In days like these it seems the jingle of the guinea only is music to her ears. From days immemorial ‘Great Nature has demanded the benign efficacy of love and sympathy to make any rela- tion between the sexes warm and delightful. But the new woman flies in the face of Great Nature and in her emancipation into the fields of trade and endeavor, demands the very pound of flesh that Shylock did until the poetry of loving seems a lost chord in Elysian fields. ‘The clubs at evening are overflowing with gallant youths who formerly sought solace and sympathy sitting out the hours with badinage and trysting with maidens fair in secluded rendezvous. Certainly evil days have come upon us and every young Lochinvar laments the awful glaring prospectus that he may be the last of his name and race, WHAT. MEXICO ‘NEEDS. MEXICO IS STILL INSISTING that we come down there and give her a good spanking, and from all appearances that is just what we are going to do. We can stand just so much foolishness, and then we are through. While the Monroe Doctrine frowns on ac- quiring territory by conquest, yet there are many who believe Mexico and Canada, too, for that matter, should belong to the United States. In event we went to war with England, Canada, of course, would be our first stamping ground, and once in our possession, it would be a rather difficult proposition to give it up, the Monroe Doctrine __ MEXICO IS STILL INSISTING that we come down there and give her a good spanking, and from all appearances that is just what “we are going to do. We can stand just so much foolishness, and then we are through. While the Monroe Doctrine frowns on ac- quiring territory by conquest, yet there are many who believe Mexico cand Canada, too, for that matter, should belong to the United States. In event we went to war with England, Canada, of course, would ‘be our first stamping ground, and once in our possession, it would be a rather difficult proposition to give it up, the Monroe Doctrine notwithstanding. ‘To establish a firm government in Mexico with cither faction in control seems impossible. A. certain element clamor constantly for war; they are imbued with the fighting spirit, that combined with the desire to loot and wrest from innocent people their carthly belongings, keeps the country in constant turmpil. THE SUPPLY OF GLYCERINE is giving out according to a statement made by the Western Nitroglycerin Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation. This means if the European armies cannot get this product they will be compelied to fall back on inferior explosives, such as black powder and other substitutes, and their death dealing machines will be that much less effective. If it were possible to simmer the whole thing down to a fist fight in some alley or back yard, the world would be better off for a fist fight does come to an end sooner or later. WHAT, BY THE WAY, is to become of the Amateur Minstrel Boys since the Amateur Minstrel Girls administered a blow that would have done credit to our ex-champion. We have it-from no less authority than the Hon. Charles Washington, high chief of the “Has Beens” that arrangements have been made at Provident Hos- pital for the gang until they recover. Moral: You can’t stand still and go foeward, EVERYONE CONCEDES THAT GERMANY will get whipped—but Germany—and every once in a while it looks as if she would come out on top. If she does go down, it will be with flying colors and every warring nation will know she has been on the job.

The reason to be apparently of the propaganda was not alone the bann placed upon the film show, “The Birth of a Nation,” but evidently some “persuasion” had been handed out the night before by the promoters by way of “influence.” The following supposeilly sarcastic editorial recently appeared in “The World’s Greatest Newspaper,” "and which we reproduce only to show the trend of their arguments: BOTH PLAINTIFF AND JUROR. “Mayor Thompson proposes to find out for once and for all whether or not the exhibition of this “The Birth of a Nation” moving pleturs orate Will arouse the whites of the community to acte of ‘blood ‘and violence against the brethren of the Second Ward.

But anyway it gives the mayor an atibl. Just last Friday week the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in a decision upheld the right of the authorities to censor and super- vise motion picture shows. ‘The decision indeed was opportune. Pro- ducers seem to lose all sight of the baneful effect some shows have upon the populace, especially upon children, thinking only of profits they can attract to the box office. But just a word about “The Birth of a Nation,” which is big only in size and paradoxically small in morality, since it exploits the colored man of reconstruction days in the character of a profligate. After the carnage of bloodshed and disease the country suffered through the Civil War, who has made the new South and without suitable reward? One of our esteemed contemporaries makes such a beautiful word-painting in behalf of the production, Their argument is based solely upon the ground that the play is true to history. But what specious argument—what a wolf in sheep's clothing! We dare say there is no man who breathes but who has things recorded in his own history he does not care to have flaunted before the public gaze., Who cares even for that history of our own nation, when that history reads only of calumny and travail following slavery days—the darkest blot upon the escutcheon of America. Another paper asks a question in its Joquacity, why should a picture show require especial restraint? The shame of dethroning King Reason in behalf of King Coin. “We might-also ask,.in line with the carnival of mental debauchery—no long green in sight for us, however—why should we have policemen, or why do we need an army or navy in these piping times of peace? Why restrain any of the populace in an endeavor to strike a popular chord? It is a fact that the populace is most often wrong. ‘The rights of the people are not always safe with the people—with apologies to our lamented Lincoln, tis most-often the FEW who are right, the FEW who think, who by superior mentality have viewpoints above the crowd, 7 Where “The Birth of a Nation” was ‘conceived, too often the popular chord is a hideous, monstrous medley of mob law, and the bay of the bloodhounds. The spectacle the producers say, cost one hundred and fifty thousand simoleons—ehief argument to Mayor Thompson im trying to elude the bann—but cares Mayor Thompson for the cost of a battering ram which is constructed to torpedo away the life and well being of ten million souls?
