Have we an agent and correspondent in your community? The Afro-American normal students of the state of Texas are showing a most commendable spirit in refusing to permit, the state superintendent to replace their Afro-American instructors with white teachers. He would not dare to replace the instructors of the white normal students of that state with Afro-American teachers. We trust they will maintain the position they have taken until success crowns their efforts The individual who edits the Indianapolis Freeman, a paper published by an Afro-American who conducts a barber shop for white people, teaches a colored school. This will explain his editorial hysterics of August 4, as a result of our reference to the "Jim Crow" dinner tendered a few weeks ago to the Afro-American members of the McKinley notification committee. We know of but one "Jim Crow" Negro in this section of Ohio, and we are going to send him to New York City or Indianapolis in the next 12 months. The Western Reserve is no place*for such cattle, the editor of the New York Age and Indianapolis Freeman to the contrary notwithstanding. Georgia and Alabama are to follow North and South Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi, and disfranchise their Afro-American voters. This has been announced—sent broadcast over the country and world, from these two states. Our government, in the hands of members of our party, too, makes no effort to test the constitutionality of such a state law, clearly unconstitutional because it conflicts with a provision of the United States constitution which says: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of color, race or previous condition of servitude." What in the wide world is the attorney general of the United States for, if not for just such cases? Our national council soon to convene in Indianapolis will take up this matter and something will be done. Strange that our president does not indicate some interest in so important a matter. Our esteemed contemporaries, the Indianapolis World and the Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press rostrate "to a turn" Editor Timothy T. Fortune, of the New York Age, in articles published elsewhere in this paper. Timothy is the prize political acrobat of color in the journalistic field. Finding it impossible to reach the cash box of either party's executive committee, by the political somersaults from one party to another he has turned in the past. Fortune has adopted the old method of "playing to the galleries," at the expense of some other brother newspaperman, in hope of being successful this time. He is going to miss it, because the people he is patting on the back don't believe in doing that which our quondam republican confere desires most. Dear Tim, permit us to assure you that we do not believe your return to the republican party has been sufficiently remote to permit of your discussing properly the relative merits of the party's candidates or leaders, "the Ohio muddle," Mr. Hanna's barber or any other thing in the Ohio campaign. A WISE GRANDSON Algernon Sartoris, a grandson of President U. S. Grant, now a resident of Washington, D. C., where he lives with his mother, the father (an Englishman) having died several years ago, writes a very strong communication to the New York Sun of a recent date in which he takes the position that it would be better for American missionaries to remain at home and work than to go to China "from misdirected zeal, placing themselves in a position to be murdered and cause our people endless trouble, and possibly the loss of many brave soldiers." He says further: "I would suggest that all missionaries, who think of going to the east, would confine themselves to working among the poor, sick and ignorant in their own homes, where there is a vast field, and where their efforts will meet with more success, and where they can teach the word of God without the spilling of human blood." The young man is quite right and might have added that the south furnishes an unlimited field in which even Chinese missionaries are needed, according to recent North Carolina demonstrations. It is far better and vastly more sensible to clean off one's own door still before undertaking to do that sort of thing for his neighbor or neighbors. The southern door sill of this country is very dirty, is saturated with the blood of innocent citizens whose only "crime" (?) is a difference in the color of the skin. The large army of American soldiers, marines and sailors now in China is badly needed here at home, to not only preserve the peace and uphold the law of the land, but also for the purpose of protecting the lives of innocent citizens who are undertaking to exercise God-given and citizen rights, and uphold a government controlled by members of the party they belong to—a government, or rather its high officials, who do not seem to realize the enormity of the crime they are committing by persisting in ignoring the condition to which we call attention. It is not only unfair to fellow members of the party, but it is a crime against American citizenship to permit that southern condition to continue without any effort to change it, without any words of warning to those who make and permit it, and without any effort to punish the cut-throats, murderers and lynchers who, in defiance of all law, both state and federal, parade the streets in broad daylight, notifying all people of their unlawful intentions. Song sort of a missionary is needed at once to work among high administration officials at Washington and open eyes which southern prejudice against the Afro-American seems to have closed, as far as our people and their interests are concerned. It is high time, too, that the Afro-American was seeing this in its true light and recognizing the facts, regardless of their political significance, especially since all matters political are but secondary at best. The race's vital interests should be considered primary—first, at all times and in all places. Elder Bundy on the Situation. Rev. Chas. Bundy, of St. John's A. M. E. church, had the following interview in Monday's Press: "The administration has never, by a word, defined its position on the question (lynching and mob violence), but by its very silence has acquiesced in all the outrages perpetrated. In the south they provided separate railroad cars for the colored man, they lynched him and burned him at the stake. Now they disenfranchise him (in North and South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana). How long can we stand it? There are 10,000,000 colored people in the country, paying taxes on $400,000,000 of taxable property. We are here and here to stay, and we are a factor to be considered. The time may come when the country will need those she now so ruthlessly ignores. "I think the colored voters will stay at home this fall. They will not support McKinley. They are discouraged with McKinley on one side and with Senator Tillman helping draft the democratic platform, and likely to be a member of Bryan's cabinet, if elected. We are between the devil and the deep sea." G. A. R. AT CHICAGO. Low Fares via Pennsylvania Lines for Thirty-fourth National Encampment.

We May Soon Be Independent of the World for Everything We May Need. The people of the United States pay over $350,000,000 annually, or practically a million dollars in each day of the year, for tropical products, all of which can be produced and most of which are now produced in some degree, in the islands under consideration. Some of these are for use in manufacturing and some as foodstuffs. These include raw silk, tea and rice, and the small proportion of our sugar importations which is manufactured from beets. Sugar, coffee, india rubber, fibers, tropical fruits and nuts, cocoa, tobacco, or the finer grades of spices, gums, indigo, dyewoods, and cabinet woods form the important features of these imports, and all of them are articles for which the United States is more or less dependent upon other parts of the world. All of these articles are now produced, to a greater or less extent, in the islands in question. Sugar is grown in Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines. Coffee, of which our importations are growing constantly and rapidly, amounting to about $50,000,000 pounds annually, is successfully grown in all of the islands in question, and at one time was a very important crop in Cuba as well as at present in Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines. Fiber, of which the importations in the last fiscal year amounted to $20,000,000 in value, can be grown in all of the islands, the Philippines already supplying Manila hemp, which alone will amount to about $6,000,000 in value. While two or three of the larger items of our tropical and subtropical imports—rubber, silk and tea—are not produced in any considerable quantities in these islands at present, experiments which have been made there, especially in tea and silk, indicate at least that their production may prove entirely practicable with further experiment. Even without these items the list of importations of tropical products suggests that fully $200,000,000 which the United States has been heretofore expending outside her own territory can soon be distributed in these islands in exchange for their supplies, whose production will doubtless be stimulated by the introduction of American capital and American methods. Exports of Farm Produce. Exports of domestic products have been as follows: Fiscal Year. Amount. 1890 $626,430,259 1891 642,311,713 1892 779,334,360 1893 597,516,450 1894 699,213,849 1895 532,092,651 1896 534,962,374 1897 649,421,292 1898 402,818,581 1899 719,809,076 1900 765,351,798 The articles whose values are included in the above table are cattle, hogs, provisions, breadstuffs, cotton and mineral oils. Nearly all are farm products, and farmers will notice that the exports were less during the last democratic administration than during the preceding and following republican administrations. Why go back to democracy? The following farm products were higher in price on July 1, 1900, than on the same date in 1899: Wheat, Beef, Cheese, Corn, Pork, Beans, Barley, Bacon, Peas, Hogs, Hams, Wool, Horses, Lard, Flax, Milk, Butter, Hay, Tobacco, Lemons, Raisins. McKinley prosperity stays with the farmer. The Republican Procession. Kansas, Washington, South Dakota and Wyoming gave their electoral votes to the democratic nominees in 1896, but they have since gone republican. Maryland is the only state the democrats have reclaimed, but the Kansas City platform practically invites it to repeat its 1896 performance. A Warning. The Washington Post warns the democratic cartoonists that every time they picture Mr. Hanna with dollar marks on his clothes they remind the country of the scarcity of the dollar mark during the last democratic administration. A Prosperity Point The production of wire nails in 1896 was only 4,719,810 kegs. Last year it was 7,599,522 kegs. The increase of 60 per cent. when the mills were open meant a large amount of extra business for all industries in which wire nails are used. Not Retroactive: The Kentucky democrats have decided to amend the Goebel law and eliminate some of the glaring iniquities of the measure. They will not go so far as to make restitution of the offices the nefarious law enabled them to steal. Duplication. The New York World has taken the pains to show that Boss Croker has been on both sides of the expansion question. Possibly he is trying to equal Mr. Bryan's record on the Philippine question. The Democrat Abroad Aguinaldo expects to encourage his scattering following by reading if the proceedings of the Kansas City convention. The Antis. The anti-expansion party never was an attractive organization. Tied up with Bryanism it is positively repulsive. Fusion and Confusion. There was perfect fusion in Oregon, and the election returns show that the demo-pop confusion is complete. The amount of powder required to propel a cannon projectile generally equals about half the weight of the missile. A projectile measuring four inches in diameter would require $16\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of powder; five inches, 25 pounds; six inches, 50 pounds; eight inches, 125 pounds; ten inches, 250 pounds, and 12 inches, 425 pounds. There are 750 silk factories in the United States. Last year they imported 73,667 bales of reeled silk yarn, valued at $41,195,209, the silkworm not having been acclimated in this country. --- Seen at a Fashionable Newport Garden Party A New Corset Cover—Millinery Novelties—Charming Summer Gowns—Black Corsets HAS it ever been your misfortune to see a black corset worn under a thin gown? One would naturally think that at Newport one would never find any of these incongruities, and especially such vile taste as this, and yet it was only a couple of days ago that I saw a fashionable woman, not of the ultra fashionable, to be sure, but still far enough up the scale to be classed among the 400, at an afternoon garden party wearing a thin gown of flowered organdie, and underneath it and a very thin corset cover, a black corset. Black corsets and dark underwear are among the things that are tabu THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY A LIMERICK LACE ROBE. among women of fashion. They may be nice, and they may be economical, but it is the latter which prevents their becoming fashionable. They savor too much of a saving of underwear, and the fashionable woman does not desire to be considered economical at the expense of absolute cleanliness of body and clothing. Merchants that cater to the fashionable trade will tell you that they have but few calls, for either black corsets or dark underwear, and in fact they are not always carried in stock. If it is ever your misfortune to see a woman wearing a black corset under a thin gown just notice the markings of it on the gown. Every stay will show through both the gown and the corset cover with a brilliancy that will surprise you. I did not start out to write a dissertation on the evils on the black corset, but if the truth must be told it is a hard matter to realize just what I did start out to write. These hot summer days—hot even though they be tempered by the breezes of old ocean—are not conducive to serious thought and hard work, much as one desires to do either. But they are conducive to ideas. One can get more ideas in an hour's time than one could write about in a week if one but had A OF SOFT SILK IN A SEA GREEN SHADE. the energy to put them together. I confess that I have not. But let me again go back to corsets while speaking of ideas, for they offer a new one. The corset covers with which we have been familiar for so many years have been intended for service only. Now comes an innovation in this line in the shape of a corset cover intended for show instead of for service, and which is worn over the serviceable garment. They are the daintiest affairs imaginable, of the sheerest lace and lawn. They are low, have but a strap over the arm and reach just about to the waist line. Their daintiness can be easily dis- THE INVENTOR AT WORK. Liquids can be automatically measured by a new faucet, which has a bar pivoted on its upper side, with a sliding weight on the bar and a support for the vessel to be filled, the weight of the liquid tilting the bar and closing the outlet of the faucet. In an improved washing machine two independent arms are pivoted at the center of the cover, with perforated beaters secured to the inner ends of the arms, the latter being grasped one in each hand and operated independently to beat the cloth. which is the reason for their being worn. In millinery ideas the all-white hat seems to be holding an undisputed sway, which promises to continue to the end of the season. There is one noticeable thing about the all-white hat, and that is that it is becoming to both light and dark women. The blond can wear it without fearing that it will not match the yellow tints of her hair, for pure white will go with blond hair much better than either cream or yellow shades. As for the brunette she never questions white, for it is always pretty with dark hair. Those charming sailor hats, trimmed with great knots of ribbon in the pastel shades, which were so common early in the season have both disappeared, though one still sees an occasional specimen of them trimmed with a twist of the new-figured silks or muslins around the crown. At the garden party where I saw the black corset I also saw some three or four of these hats, and at the same time I saw a dozen or more of the now-fashionable all-white hats. But black corsets and hats were not the only noticeable things at this garden party. It was a really fashionable affair, though an unusually large one, given by Mrs. George Gould, who is paving her way into society by a series of elaborate entertainments. There were gowns, and charming ones at that. It was a brilliant display of the best the season has given us, both in the way of thin materials and styles. To prove this statement here are a few of the best ones seen. One of them was a handsome affair of Limerick lace in ivory with a pattern of wild roses. This was made with a square decollete with pointed revers of lace, and the lace draped across the front, giving a round bodice effect. The sleeves were cut in a deep V just above the elbow. One of soft silk was a novel, yet pretty, affair. It was of a sea-green shade, and was combined with white CHECKED SILK WITH GUIPURE EMBROIDERY. silk. The skirt had an opening av each gore, with white silk revealing, and laced with sea-green silk cord, caught just below the hips and just below the knees with rosettes of black velvet. A surplice bodice of white silk with the sea-green silk fastened at the shoulder with a buckle, and just below the bust line with black velvet rosettes. Elbow sleeves of white silk finished at the elbow with a rosette. The hostess wore a Frenchy affair of checked silk made up with guipure embroidery over white satin. The skirt had the checked silk in shallow scallops around the bottom, edged with narrow ruchings of black velvet. Under this falls a deep accordion plaiting of cream mousseline de soie. At the left side was the guipure embroidery over white satin in a novel design from the waist line, ending in a deep point at the bottom of the skirt. It had a round bodice, with a mousseline de soie shirred in the deep yoke effect, with lace beading put on in military fashion with black velvet ribbon run through. SARAH DAVIDSON. Little Wretch. Most of the stores in the remote business sections of the city are constantly annoyed by children of the neighborhood coming to the door and asking for cards, empty boxes and similar articles. The clerks are, of course, down on the youngsters, and the warfare never ends. The other day a small boy poked his head in the door of a West side store and called out: "Say, mister, got any empty boxes?" "No," said the clerk. not very politely. "No!—yes—no—yes—you miserable little wretch!" and the clerk flew at his tormentor, but the latter had fled.—Boston Traveler. POPULAR SCIENCE.

I had no luck in anything I undertook. What to do I did not know. A friend advised me to go and see Dr. Shea. I did; he told me the cause of all my trouble; he took me in and treated me like a brother. Through him I got a good position that very week. I had been to others; they took my money and did me no good. I bless the day I first met Dr. Shea.

Commenting on the "Jim Crow" dinner tendered the Afro-American members of the McKinley notification committee at the Hollenden house recently, the Indianapolis World said last Saturday: "Is it not about time that Negroes were showing a little self-respect and not allowing themselves to be put off with a few bones and "Jim Crow" dinners? If the party which they have served so faithfully and to which they are so vitally important can't treat them any better than is outlined above in a republican Negro newspaper, is not a vigorous kick in order lest they be compared to the dog which licks the boot that kicks it? Editor Smith shows a manly disposition to resent the degrading treatment accorded his race by the republican managers, and he deserves credit for doing so. If those men alluded to could not eat at the first table they should have had the self-respect to refuse to eat at all. Nothing is ever gained by subserviency and passive submission to slights and insults." FOURTH ANNUAL OUTING Of the Cleveland Printing Pressmens' Union No. 56, at Cottage Grove lake, Sunday, Aug. 26.

The old spring under the hill is cool, With blotches and rifts of sun; Its air is as grateful and fresh and sweet As the air of a summer dawn. The song of a bird in the trees above, Below the song of a rill. Are the only sounds that are heard around The old spring under the hill. How oft we have trudged in other days, To boys and girls at our play, To the shade and stillness of that old spring, Remote from the garish day! How oft by its sparkling waters clear We have knelt and quaffed our fill! And never a draught was as sweet as that From the old spring under the hill. The years are many, the years are long, Between us and that fair time; We hear no more the tinkling song, Nor the water's silver chime; But oft in the mirror of memory We can see the image still Of the winding pathway, the shadows deep, And the old spring under the hill. Denver News. And So They're Engaged The Romance of a Midsummer Luncheon in Town. THE head waiter pressed a button in the wall and rose-colored electric bulbs blossomed like flowers upon the ceiling, filling the great dining-room with soft, still radiance and showing the white tables surrounded with ornate high-backed chairs, now eloquently empty. The air from the avenue stirred the lace that screened the open windows and made the blooming marguerites in great high tubs about the room move on their fragrant stems. It was barbarously early for dinner, but ridiculously late for luncheon, but it had suited the mood of the man and the maiden who had met by accident and had been spending a delightfully unchaperoned day in town. Besides that there were trains to be taken back to a fashionable resort, where breakfasts, luncheons and dinners made such informal meetings as this quite impossible. So, as the girl said, it was all the more fun. They were not even dressed for dinner and the head waiter, who was punctilious in such matters, glanced somewhat disapprovingly at the girl's linen shirt waist and her bamboo hat with a pouf of blue, tilted down over her brows. The man was a well-dressed, well-tubbed specimen. The room was almost deserted except for those two and the occasional cackle of a waiter was all that broke the silence except their own discreetly-lowered voices. A small East Indian man picturesquely turbaned and robed in white came toward their table bearing a chafing dish upon a silver tray from which he served them noiselessly with rice and chicken while a waiter poured wine into two pale greenish glasses. The service had all the dignity and importance of a rite. The girl's face took on a look of intense satisfaction as she tasted the first morsel. As her sun-kissed hands moved over her plate the man thought that she was one of the few women who ate gracefully. As a rule, they were too nonchalant or too enthusiastic. But this girl's appetite had all the repression of a Duse. "Isn't it funny?" she said. "Funny?" "Why, of course, it's too funny for anything! To think of our meeting, by accident, of all places, at church! Tell me—why do you go to church?" "To kill time, I suppose. Then the music there is admirably good and the sermons—" "Admirably short!" "Exactly! Why did you go?" "I always go. It's become a habit with me. But it is the very last place I should have expected to see you. It is a remarkable coincidence that we should have drifted there. Don't you think things happen oddly at times?" "What kind of things?" "Coincidences—for instance?" "Please don't call our meeting a mere coincidence. I call it the result of an educated mind wave." "Mind wave?" "Yes—a brain current. You know in India—" "That's where you go hunting lions, isn't it?" "No—tigers in India." "But you hunt lions, too—don't you?" "Never have. I gave one a run once, though." "Oh, how perfectly lovely! Tell me about it." "It wouldn't interest you. You see, I was running first." "Ha! ha! ha!" "Funny, wasn't it? Well, in India, where they live on this sort of thing—rice and chicken—" "And sauterne?" "Er—well—no animal food—you understand—they get their souls cultivated to such an extent that they can communicate with each other across long distances." "Oh, you must be educated up to it. An American doesn't take to it as quickly, but the natives believe in it. It is a part of their religion. They can perform all sorts of magical tricks. I have no doubt that the man who cooks this—the little chap in the turban—talks without words." "I noticed he didn't speak. And do you know—as he moved about so still and quiet—I felt—felt—" "Jarred?" "No—chilled—just as though I were under a spell. He has such mysterious eyes. Did you notice?" "Ha! ha! ha! I wish he would come in again!" "He probably will." "Hush!" "What?" "Oh—here he comes! He has another dish." "Good!" "Don't let us pretend to notice. Yes, as you were saying, I quite agree with you, that the day has been a pleasant due—but what would people think if they came in and found us dining to- gether—at five o'clock. I, in a sailor at—you—" "In a sailor hat also—" THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1900. "Twenty miles away!" "But if we hadn't met—sh-h! He's gone away! Never spoke a syllable. M—m—m! This is another of those soul foods! It's the same, but different! I wonder what it is?" "Suppose we ask him?" "No, it might break the spell. Look on the card. It must be there some place." "Er—er—er— Here it is! 'The Curry of Enchantment.'" "What do you think of that?" "I think he's a wonder." "But it is getting more mysterious, don't you think so?" "Which? The dinner?" "No—our meeting—and the mind wave, and now this queer eastern fellow." "Oh, I always knew we would meet somewhere outside of a pink tea. I knew you were just the sort of a girl I'd like to talk to." "And I felt sure that you were different from the other men. You know a girl gets tired of merely brilliant men—and stupid men. You are such a relief." "Thanks." "And it is so interesting to learn about these occult subjects. Are you a professor?" "I beg your pardon?" "I mean an M. A. or a B. A. or any of those things?" "No—just a mere man." "But about the brain currents. When did you learn them? Did you have to live on rice? Are you able to command people to do what you will? How do you explain our both going to church? Did you will that I should go?" "I'll tell you something if you'll promise?" "What?" "I saw you go in." "Really?" "Really!" "How odd." "How lucky." "Why?" "For me. I mean." "Oh, nonsense. Now don't spoil everything by saying anything silly." "I wasn't going to. But you know every fellow has an ideal girl." "But we've only known each other part of a summer." "I feel as though I'd known you all my life." "Do you always say that to girls?" "You're the only girl I ever—" "Loved?" "Talked sense to. I haven't paid you one compliment—now have I?" "Oh, I shouldn't have liked you at all if you talked in that way." "But—honestly, I knew that you were not a girl who wanted a man to say pretty things to her all the time. I think those girls are stupid." "Oh, I think it's great fun to be chums without any nonsense—" "Mind waves are strictly platonic." "Then we shall not misunderstand each other. Oh, I have often longed to be understood." "I am sure that I understand you. I have always thought, do you know, Miss—well, I declare, I've forgotten your first name." "Why, you've never heard it, have you? It's Marion." "Marion?" "Yes. What's yours?" "Mine is Marcus Aurelius." "Goodness!" "It's a fact." "I suppose people call you Mark." "People that know me well call me Mike." "Mike?" "Yes. Please call me Mike." "Yes—it will be more like a platonic mind wave if we call each other by our first names." "Aren't you engaged to some one?" "Goodness—no! Are you?" "Was once. Never will be again." "I think it's bad form to fall in love. I never have and never shall. Were you very much in love?" "But you said you were engaged." "So I was. It just happened. She was a widow." "Poor boy!" "Yes—wasn't it?" "Was it very long ago?" "Ever so long ago. I had quite forgotten." "How long ago was it?" "Let me see. It was—yes—it was last August." "Was she pretty?" "Oh—er—some might think so. She wasn't at all like you. I have always wanted to meet a girl with real violet eyes." "Really?" She dipped her fingers in a golden bowl. Then she said across the table in a hoarse whisper without looking up: "Mike?" "Yes—Marion?" "Don't look around. For that horrid East Indian is bringing—a lot of people—don't look round—that we know—directly down the room—and they see us—" "Rubbering, are they?" "They're staring like anything. There are the Vanderhycks, and the Highballs and the Westburys and your sister and her husband and—and oh—Chappy!" "Quick—what shall we say—they're bowing." "Why, put a bold face on it!" "Yes, but how? It looks simply dreadful. They will think we met purposely. Chappy's glaring through her lorgnette. They must have come into town for dinner." "Well, there's only one thing to do now." "Announce what? The mind waves?" "No—our engagement." "Mike! The idea!" "Sh—Marion—they're almost here. Just leave it to me. It's the only way! Smile and look pleasant. Well, well! As I live! Who'd have thought of meeting you all here! Isn't this just too jolly for anything!"—N. Y. Sun. A man is shouting at a woman in a dress. The woman is sitting on a couch, looking up at the man.

Everybody in the oilloth and linoleum trade knows "the Potter boys," of Philadelphia and New York. Col. Tom Potter, of the former city, who got his title through a staff appointment by a former governor of Pennsylvania, is a thorough Philadelphiaian, a firm believer in that town—in all her institutions, big and little, and in her magnificent future, but he always helps to circulate a good story on Philadelphia, just the same, says the New York Commercial. A hustling "free lance" in the life insurance business was over there the other day trying to write a $20,000 policy in a New York company for a rising young man who holds an important position with the Potter company. This was his third or fourth call, and he had his intended victim almost worked up to the point of signing the application. "I'll take the policy," he said, "but I don't want it just yet. Wait a few weeks." "No time like the present time," exclaimed the agent. "Delays are particularly danger-out in life insurance matters. I'll tell you what I'd in your case—if you'll make the application now I'll carry the policy myself for you for 30 days." "Oh, I wouldn't have you do that," the young man protested. "I might die within 30 days, and then where would you and your profits be?" "Oh, that's all right, my boy! I'll take the risk. You won't that quick. Nobody in Philadelphia ever died in 30 days!" An Eye for Realism The new reporter in his story of the wedding wrote: "The floral display stretched from the chancel rail to the door of the church." The city editor, in a mild manner, as is the custom of city editors with new reporters, suggested: "Couldn't you have used a better word than 'stretched?' Say the floral display 'nodded,' or 'twined,' or something like that—some word more suggestive of flowers." "'Stretched' is all right," replied the new reporter, with the stubborn courage of a realist. "The decorations consisted of six rubber plants, and they had to stretch to go the distance."—Baltimore American.

We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of St. Mary's Academy which appears in another column of this paper. The 46th year opens September 4th, 1900. We do not need to expatriate upon the scholastic advantages of St. Mary's for the catalogue of the school shows the scope of work included in its curriculum, which is of the same high standard as that of Vassar and Bryn Mawr, and is carried out faithfully in the class rooms. We simply emphasize the spirit of earnest devotion which makes every teacher at St. Mary's loyally strive to develop each young girl attendant there into the truest, noblest, and most intelligent womanhood. Every advantage of equipment in the class rooms, laboratories and study rooms, every care in the matter of food and clothing, and exceptional excellence of climatic conditions—all of these features are found at St. Mary's, in the perfection of development only to be obtained by the consecration of devoted lives to educational Christian work, in a spot favored by the Lord.—The Fine Arts Journal. When a preparation has an advertised reputation that is world-wide, it means that preparation is meritorious. If you go into a store to buy an article that has achieved universal popularity like Cascarets Candy Cathartic for example, you feel it has the endorsement of the world. The judgment of the people is infallible because it is impersonal. The retailer who wants to sell you "something else" in place of the article you ask for, has an ax to grind. Don't it stand to reason? He's trying to sell something that is not what he represents it to be. Why? Because he expects to derive an extra profit our of your credulity. Don't you see through his little game? The man who will try to sell you a substitute for Cascarets is a fraud. Beware of him! He is trying to steal the honestly earned benefits of a reputation which another business man has paid for, and if his conscience will allow him to go so far, he will go farther. If he cheats his customer in one way, he will in another and it is not safe to do business with him. Beware of the Cascaret substitutor!

There is a broad smile on the face of nearly every farmer in Nebraska, because of the satisfactory crop conditions in that remarkable state. In the Northwest, drought has seriously injured the wheat yield. In the South again there has been more or less damage, but in Nebraska they have had seasonable, heavy rains, and not too much of them. A full crop of oats and wheat will, from present indications, be followed by a bumper crop of corn. During the past week heavy rains all over the state have put this crop in fine condition, and it may break the record. The expectation is that great numbers of people will go to Nebraska this fall, when the cheap harvest excursion rates are in effect, to investigate the country and confirm by actual experience the stories of prosperity so often heard.

POOR LITTLE JOHNNY! AND HIS "TUMMY"! Small boys, and many times large ones, and occasionally girls, too, big and little, suffer terribly from convulsive pains or "cramps" in the bowels and stomach—pain so violent that it "doubles up" the ones attacked, and makes it impossible for them to stand up. Some people call it colic, but most honest, plain-spoken people call it "belly-ache" and very properly, for the seat of the trouble is in the bowels, and caused by the violent efforts of the bowels to rid themselves of something which doesn't belong there. The small boy usually gets it from over-eating or from eating forbidden fruit, and suffers mostly in the summer time. It's spring now, and "in times of peace, prepare for war." Let the boys and girls and the big folks, too, for that matter, clean out the clogged channels filled with winter bile and putrid undigested food, strengthen the 30-feet of bowel canal, liven up the liver, and "summer bellyaches" will have no terrors, because they won't ST.

A Itching Burning Scaly Blotchy Humors Instantly Relieved and Speedily Cured by Cuticura The itching and burning I suffered in my feet and limbs for three years were terrible. At night they were worse and would keep me awake a greater part of the night. I consulted doctor after doctor, as I was travelling on the road most of my time, also one of our city doctors. None of the doctors knew what the trouble was. I got a lot of the different samples of the medicines I had been using. I found them of so many different kinds that I concluded I would have to go to a Cincinnati hospital before I would get relief. I had frequently been urged to try CUTICURA REMEDIES, but I had no faith in them. My wife finally prevailed upon me to try them. Presto! What a change! I am now cured, and it is a permanent cure. I feel like kicking some doctor or myself for suffering three years when I could have used CUTICURA remedies. H. JENKINS, Middleboro, Ky. Complete Treatment $1.25.

CUTICURA SOAP combines delicate emollient properties derived from CUTICURA, the great skin cure, with the purest of cleansing ingredients and the most refreshing of flower odors. No other medicated or toilet soap ever compounded is to be compared with it for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair, and hands. No other foreign or domestic toilet soap, however expensive, is to be compared with it for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. Thus it combines in ONE SOAP at ONE PRICE, viz. TWENTY-FIVE CENTS, the BEST skin and complexion soap, and the BEST toilet and BEST baby soap in the world.
