THE TWENTY-SECOND YEAR. NO. 52. This the Time for Bargains A While one need not purchase an expensive and shining-new outfit when making ready for a water trip, yet it is well to look to it that clothes are becoming and presentable. So many people nowadays take a vacation voyage, there is so much travel, it is a sad mistake to think the steamer a place to wear one's oldest and worst garments. The promenade deck is not exactly the place to make display of elaborate toilets, but it is sufficiently populous and conspicuous to necessitate one to appear at least passably well, wear clothes well made and in good condition. There is nothing better than a trim tall tailored gown of good wool, the skirt a short walking length, the coat whatever style is best fitted to the wearer. Some consider the long cap an indispensable adjunct of the costume for aboard-ship, but to us it does not seem an absolute necessity. A loose-fitting, snug coat is warmer and does not blow about so, and generally the promenade deck is a very breeyc place. However, it is a convenient wrap to throw on and off, and the long kind now obtaining are closer than the ones formerly in use. Head-gear that will admit of the use of a well is wistest choice, and there is a pleasing variety offered at the shops. The automobile cap has the protecting visor, the tricorner sets down prettyly on soft hair, there are cool caps of silk and linen for those terrific noon hours that one does not wish to spend in stuffy cabin. A really indispensable article of dress is some sort of wool scarf to put on the head when cold winds blow; it acts as protection and keeps the hair in some kind of order. And remember one should take a goodly number of veils, to suit the varying weather. On calm days a close hat with neat face-veil will be sufficient, and perhaps for the sake of picturesqueness one might sport a blowing chiffon affair. Then there will be times when a strong, thick veil will have to be donned to keep down tan and burning of the skin from the wind—few, indeed, are the complexions that are not Suitable for Wear on a Voyage Late in the summer one can pick up the best bargains of the year, things of real value at small cost. The dealers do not want to carry anything over and offer their goods at low price. Ready-made things, thin stuffs, remnants of lace and silk, are all put out and marked "Cut Down"; now is the harvest of the bargain hunter, now the woman too busy and too sensible to spend time in bargain hunts has them presented her without personal inconvenience. The other day a friend of mine bought a very pretty white dressing-sack for half a dollar, and a lot of pretty wash-goods at ten cents a yard. Negligees, both wrappers and short sacks, are lying in billows on the bargain tables, and this is the time to make ready for next season as well as provide for the certain hot days we are yet to experience. The little bits of trimming and the remnants of pretty fine stuffs can be quickly turned by deft fingers into lounging costumes, if one wants something finer than the cheap ready-to-wear sort. The one here pictured is the merest semblance of a garment, and just the thing to throw on when in half-dress. It hangs straight from the shoulders, as so many of the matteines do-to-day. Made of silk or muslin flowered in dainty Dresden pattern, and trimmed lightly with lace and flowered ribbon, it is a charming little creation. Many prefer a less open style, want the sack longer and fitting in at the waist. For them we would suggest a little affair made of crepe de chine and drawn in with two rows of shirring rather wide apart. Much of the style of these negligees depends on the collar, which should be very deep if used at all. The collarless negligees finished simply with a frill is well lined, and is so cool and simple. ON SHIPBOARD alected by a few days on the water. For dinner appearance, the popular lingerie waist is a boon, worn with the morning skirt, or worn with a little light-weight skirt put in extra, it changes the athletic girl of the promenade deck into a drawing room miss; and then after dinner the addition of a long cloak will transform her back again—make possible moonlight hours on the upper deck. Shoes should be substantial and also presentable, for they surely will present themselves to passing view whenever the wearer steps without the cabin, skirts almost constantly switching in the breeze. Footwear is very conspicuous on shipboard, and should be trim and attractive. People who look well on a voyage look very well; the dowdy folk look dowder than ever, with wipes of hair hanging, shoes run down, skirts forlorn, a general half-dressed appearance. Take time to make your toilet, make frequent excursions to dressing-room if you would be a satisfaction to yourself and appear pleasing in the eyes of your fellow voyagers. Sometimes there are, even on northern water trips, hours of hot sunshine that require apparel of summer weight. Pongee is cool, does not muss easily and comes in many colors. A pongee or silk skirt and a lingerie waist, and worn with these white canvas shoes, . white hat and a vell matching the skirt, would make a costume well suited to a warm day. An all-white dress would soon lose its freshness on a steamer and is not to be recommended. And, by the way, pongee underclothes are said to be the very best thing when one goes for a few months of European travel—one can wash them oneself of an evening, and they need no ironing. Pongee is used for everything now. from underclothes to top coat. It is of light weight, sheds the dust easily, washes very well when the dyes are good—which, unfortunately, they not always are. The natural color is the best for the underwear. A PRETTY NEGLIGEE. Pastel shades are preferred for these dainty garments, soft pinks and blues, and there is a faint buff that is very fetching with a certain shade of pink. Liberty or louisine ribbons are the ones to use when ribbon is employed for trimming, anything stiff being out of place. A flowing sleeve is generally preferred, somewhat on the bell order. Elbow and three-quarter length are the rule. None are full length. The effect desired is a boudoir garment, charming in its suggestion of ease. ELLEN OSMONDE On a Midsummer Night. Wifey—Don't you love the baby's little toes? Hubby? -Yes; but there are some toes around here that I don't love. "Why, what are they, Henry?" "What, aquitotes." -Louisville Cour le-Journal.

What Our People Are Doing and Saying Throughout the Maryland's Attempt to Disfranchise—Progress North and South—A Valuable Invention—Brilliant Graduates—Register Lyons Talks—Notes. The latest census shows the Afro-American population of the District of Columbia to be 95,534. Boston has fifteen Afro-American physicians, ten lawyers, and many dentists and pharmacists. The "constitutional" amendment disfranchising Afro-Americans seems doomed to defeat in Maryland. Mississippi leads all the southern states in Afro-American farmers. It is said that 125,351 own 5,888,965 acres, being 17.2 of all the farmers in the state. One of our girls is a stenographer in a Pittsburgh mattress factory. Because of her color a number of girls who make mattresses in the factory went on a strike. They know more now. There are nearly 500,000 male members of the race over 21 years of age in the six states where disfranchisement exists who can read and write. Nevertheless they are denied the right to vote. At the graduating exercises held by the Jenner Medical college at Chicago, a few weeks ago, M. J. Brown, a student, received the medal given for the highest work for the entire year. Dr. Brown has also served the class as treasurer for 1904 and 1905. He was presented the medal at a swell class banquet. Our people of Washington, D. C. operate ten drug stores, seven wood and coal yards, fourteen saloons, twenty-seven restaurants, one book store, four employment bureaus, five newspapers and nine job printing establishments. They have more than eighty churches, many lawyers, teachers and doctors, dressmakers, trained nurses, etc., over 65 years, the age of the Aybessinian kingdom, no white man has ever ruled its dominions, and today, King Menelik, with 230,000 well-trained and well-equipped soldiers, is guarding his vast territory against the encroachments of European nations, and it being 1,000 miles from the sea coast to the capital, the white man would have to fight every step of the way. In Washington, D. C., an Afro-American inventor by the name of Richie has invented an attachment to the telephone that when fastened to the party speaking enables him to use a low, whispering tone and yet be heard distinctly at the other end. Richie has been offered a good price for his invention by a big telephone company, but has refused, preferring to patent it. A well-to-do Negro in a certain section of the south recently bought an automobile, but he was promptly waited upon and told that town would not permit a Negro riding in an automobile. He was ordered to return the machine, and this he did promptly. Comment is unnecessary. This reminds us of the fact that there is a section of the south where Negroes are not allowed to carry hoisted umbrellas, and still another section where top buggies are not permitted to be used by Negroes.—New Orleans (La.) S. W. Christian Advocate. Henry Arthur Callis, who was graduated recently from the Binghamton, N. Y., high school with a high standing, won the free Cornell scholarships for which he took the examinations a few weeks ago, and in which he excelled his white competitors. In his four years' course in the high school he was one of the most popular members of his class, of which he was at one time the president. He was also a high school class exercises and has attracted considerable attention for his oratorical ability as well as his good work in all his studies. Register of the United States Treasury Judson W. Lyons recently says: "Colored farmers make the bulk of the cotton crop and it is a singular fact that the size of the cotton crop, until the last year or two, has grown space with the population of the colored race in this country. At the close of the civil war we were about 5,000,000. The production of cotton was then 4,000,000 bales. The colored crop was then about 1,000,000 bales. The production of cotton has increased to 13,000,000 bales, but I believe the 3,000,000 about represents the cotton that is made by others than colored laborers. The census bureau says the colored folk make on their own farms—farms owned or rented by them—over two-fifths of the entire cotton crop of the country." A WEDDING SURPRISE.

VIRTUES OF MENELEK Man of Morals and Principals—He Claims Decent from Sheba. Berlin, Germany—Dr. Rosen, minister-elect to Morocco, has returned from Adis Ababa, Abyssinia, where he went as special envoy of Germany to King Menelek to conclude a commercial treaty with Abyssinia. Dr. Rosen's personal estimate of King Menelek, whose language he speaks and whose associate he was for some weeks, is that he is essentially a man of sound morals and excellent principles, even according to the European standard. Dr. Rosen says that King Menelek's easy rule over the feudal district kings and chiefs is due to his quick mind and mild, conciliatory disposition, supported by occasion and severity. He always keeps his word, and he always says "and is just to the traditions of his country. King Menelek's own belief, according to Dr. Rosen, is that he is descended from a son of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba; that this son, who was called Prince Menelek I, with a following of picked men, Jews and Sabians, went into Ethiopia; and lived and thrived there, and that these Jews were the founders of the present Abyssinian Semitic race. Menelek I is presumed to have taken the Ark of the Covenant with him, and it is still said to be in a temple at Akhmu. No European has ever seen it, and it has not been even seen by the present ruler of Abyssinia himself, only a grade who are unimpeded being married to him. It is Rosen says that King Menelek is in fine health, and that that King Menelek is in age health, and that he is 62 years of age he looks only about 50. He wears a broad-brimmed American hat when of doors. On the way out of Abyssinia the members of Dr. Rosen's party found supplies waiting for them at every station, as King Menelek told them they would be Dr. Rosen found the chiefs in the most remote parts of the country very anxious to carry out Menelek's orders.

Having taken a complete course in the Cincinnati college of embalming, and later taken a course under the supervision of Prof. Meyers, of the Meyers college of embalming, Springfield, O., he passed successfully the state examination held in Toledo, O., June 5, 1905. Mr. Boyd will open an office at No. 490 Central avenue as an embalmer and funeral director on or about August 15 and will furnish carriages for all purposes. Howard University Dental College. Howard University Dental College. The friends of Howard University Dental College will be pleased to learn that Doctors Frederic P. Barrler, Jas. A. Godfrey and Roscoe C. Wormley, class '05, successfully passed the recent examination of the District of Columbia board of dental examiners; Jacob A. Emerson, class '04, and Thomas A. Stqvens, class '03, the North Carolina and Virginia boards, respectively. Not a failure has been registered against the college. It might be well to call attention to the bright future open to first-class colored dentists, such as are yearly graduated by Howard university. The demand is much greater than the requirements, and requests are sent to the secretary, asking that a dentist be sent to this or that city. The reason for this condition is two-fold: (1) the scarcity of colored dentists, and (2) the prejudice of white dentists, who do not care for colored patients and, in some places, will not treat them. Hence it would be wise on the part of our young men about to enter the professional field to carefully consider the advantages dentistry offers them for a successful career. Franklin, Pa., Items.

THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. Attorney J. Douglass Wetmore, of Jacksonville, Fla., telegraphed the editor of The Gazette on Tuesday of this week as follows: "Won my case 'Jim Crow' street car law declared unconstitutional today." Good! That is the only way to fight all such discriminations. Our people of Florida and especially friend Wetmore, will please accept our sincerest congratulations. WHY SOME WOMEN ARE POOR The Chicago News has undertaken to give some reason why some women are poor. It enumerates them as follows: "That as their income increases their wants become more numerous. They do not keep account of how much they spend. They do not watch the waste in the kitchen. They indulge their tastes too fully. They allow the children to form extravagant habits to which mothers cater and indulge at any cost. They contract debts to please the need. They too often for appearances. They too often crave what their circumstances cannot afford and above all, they have never learned to know the true value of a dollar." The above is not by any means true of all women, but the Chicago News has told some mighty truths, and it would be well for those women to whom these truths apply to pause and ponder over them. In a thousand instances many women are daily living beyond their income; yes, beyond their means. In sheer thoughtlessness they contract debts without considering the possibility of meeting them. They do this the more when they find that they can get credit in making purchases. They addict themselves to many wants, and regardless of the hard struggles of their "better half" they make bills, because some simple-minded merchant believes that sooner or later all accounts will be cashed. Must we conclude that such women are not only reckless spend-thrifts, but are heartless to do so? They realize that the burden of responsibility rests not upon themselves, hence they spend their means ad libitum in almost defiance of certain wreck. More generally in the north women are more economical and in many instances are the main prop of the home. But in the south extravagance and waste are some of the features most prominent in house-keeping. If people would husband their means and have an increasing bank account, there would be a sweet contentment abiding in that home. It is not so much as to what we want as to what we need. "JIM CROW" STREET CARS. On July 5 the "Jim Crow" street car law went into effect in the city of Memphis, Tenn. Our people, after their usual custom, took seats in the cars with no disposition to do other than the law directs, to-wit: that they shall find seats in the rear, while the whites shall occupy the front. As yet, however, only a few of the race are seen in the ride. The act is so humiliating that the better class of our folk seem to share in a feeling of mingled disgust and bewilderment, as if to ask themselves: Why this outrage, and what is to become of the people of the south? After 40 years of freedom and during all this time of indiscriminate passage through the thoroughfares of the great cities of the state, Tennessee, through her non-progressive movement, imposed the race are making their routes afloat, being rather ashamed of the disgrace and undecided as to their future action. The conductor is authorized by the company to assign seats respectively, and in case there is any disturbance the party so offending is to be fined $25. Always there has been some friction and bruises brought on, but mainly on the part of white men who claim the right of sitting where it please them best. On the whole, the discrimination so ordered is not only very needless, but it is a disagreeable one, in the face of the great provisions prescribed and ordained in our federal laws. For it is in evidence that the southern mind is determined, in spite of all national regulations, to busy itself in some way to antagonize the fundamental principle of government. Over-reaching itself in its purpose to embarrass and degrade Afro-Americans, it handicaps white men and women who prefer to exercise undisturbed the right of their own volition. To-day the population of the city of Memphis is over 200,000. Only a few days ago the street cars were over crowded, owing to the vast crowds passing to and fro. But at present the capacity for travel is easy, and many of our people through fear of maltreatment are walking, while not a few prefer to walk rather than comply with the "Jim Crow" requirement. This "Jim Crow" regulation is to be enforced wherever street cars are in operation in Tennessee and it remains to be seen what shall be the outcome. Such legislation is to be deplored, because it is designed more as a thrust and reproach against the poor and depressed whose very humbleness renders the enactment a needless imposition upon the just claims of an equal citizenship. VICTORY OF A COLORED JURY — FOREMAN AND EDITOR SMITH. The Cleveland Gazette, edited by that redoubtable race champion, Hon. Harry C. Smith, published last week an article on Mr. James R. Snyder, a colored man, foreman of the grand jury at Cleveland, who as such was largely instrumental in having the jury acquitted a man of the case where a little colored girl of 12 years accused a prominent white man of rape. Mr. Snyder, at the close of the trial, addressed the jury in the juryroom, speaking for a solid hour The case and the victory of the colored jury foreman are remarkable for several reasons. The first foreman of this jury was an ex.Confederate colonel. When the case was first brought before the jury the white man, a prominent church worker, by the way, was freed. Then it was that Editor Smith entered the lists. By clever detective work and by great enthusiasm, added by R. Hillier, Danridge and Dickerson, he succeeded in getting the case before the grand jury again—a herculean task in itself. The Gazette modestly gives the whole credit to Foreman Snyder. It says: "We wish to call attention to Mr. Snyder's masterly effort before the grand jury, which did more to bring about the desired result than anything else. The assistant county prosecutor, who was in the jury room, as the legal advisor of that august body, characterized Mr. Snyder's eloquent and impassioned appeal for indictment as one of the strongest and best arguments he ever heard made to a jury by one of its members. For nearly an hour he held them practically spellbound, with the result that the same body which but a few weeks prior to that date had voted no indictment in the Mignaud case, reversed the verdict with but two dissenting votes, one of these being that of the ex-Confederate colonel." If this case had gone as at first decided by the grand jury, that is if this white man had escaped without a finding against him by the grand jury, through his position and "influence," it would have meant that white brutes might seduce and ruin little colored girls and women almost at will without fear of punishment. Every cooled girl and woman would have been constantly in jeopardy. The colored people of Ohio owe gratitude to Foreman Snyder, and Editor Smith, for getting the case up for a hearing after it had been once dismissed by the grand jury. The latter was the author of the Ohio anti-lynching law and the civil rights law. He has done great work for his class and besides has conducted a race-loyal paper even against a subsidized newspaper opposition intended to undermine his by cutting prices and by free distribution. We had the pleasure of meeting Harry C. Smith at Buffalo. He is an affable fellow. He deserves well of his race in Ohio and _merits the admiration of us all.-Boston (Mass.) Guardian. Will Test the Call Loan System. Cincinnati, July 25—A test of the call loan system used by all banks in the United States in their dealings with brokers will be made by a suit which will be filed by Referee Greve in the bankruptcy case of Holzman & Co., brokers of this city, who recently failed.

This Makes Monday Bright and Fair There is an old saying that man works from Sun to Sun but woman's work is never done. This idea was well enough perhaps, in the year 1714 when it was first made public, but if woman's work is never done now it is generally her own fault. Take for instance, the matter of washing clothes there is no longer a duty, and therefore you call it "blue Monday" unless you perish in scrubbing your clothes on a washboard over a steaming tub of hot, dirty water and follow all the rest of the old fashioned nonsense the same as they used to do the family washing when Noah was a small boy. Of course if you do your work in that out-of-date kind of way, that won't be any rest for you here and not much comfort in life either, because you will always be busy. Now, between ourselves, in the matter of washing clothes—what's the use of making a drudge of yourself when with a Majestic Rotary Washing Machine, which costs little more than you might make a pastime of what used to be the darkest day in the week.

NAMES BEST DOCTOR NAMES BEST DOCTOR MR. BAYSSON PUBLISHES RESULTS OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE. A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now Rejoices In Perfect Freedom from Miseries of Indigestion. Thousands of sufferers know that the reason why they are irritable and depressed and nervous and sleepless is because their food does not digest, but how to get rid of the difficulty is the puzzling question. Good digestion calls for strong digestive organs, and strength comes from a supply of good rich blood. For this reason Mr. Baysson took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for the cure of indigestion. "They have been my best doctor," he says. "I was suffering from dyspepsia. The pains in my stomach after meals were almost unbearable. My sleep was very irregular and my complexion was sallow. As the result of using eight boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, about the merits of which I learned from friends in France, I have escaped all these troubles, and am able again to take pleasure in eating." A very simple story, but if it had not been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills it might have been a tragic one. When discomfort begins with eating, fills up the intervals between meals with pain, and prevents sleep at night, there certainly cannot be much pleasure in living. A final general breaking down must be merely a question of time. Mr. Joseph Baysson is a native of Aix-les-Bains, France, but now resides at 024 No. 2439 Klnin street, San Francisco, Cal. He is one of a great number who can testify to the remarkable efficacy of Aix-les-Bains, a brand of obstinate disorders of the stomach. If you would get rid of mause, pain or burning in the stomach, vertigo, nervousness, insomnia, or any of the other miseries of a dyspeptic, get rid of the weakness of the digestive organs by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They are sold by druggists everywhere. Proper diet is, of course, a great aid in forwarding recovery once begun, and a little book, "What to Eat and How to Eat," may be obtained by any one who makes a request for it by writing to the Dr. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady, N.Y. This valuable diet book contains an important chapter on the simplest means for the cure of constipation. CELERY KING NATURES UNLIMITED in Last Year Mrs. Wm. Elliot, 210 West Ava, Rochester, N.

Aumont, a Belgian farmer, has committed suicide owing to the loss of valuable securities. Rats gnawed their way through a wooden deed-box and destroyed the documents. The shock of being sprinkled with a solution of nitric acid in mistake for holy water restored to normal health Mme. Valtairhe of Aabe, France, who was lying as was supposed, on her deathbed. It is estimated that the Indian army, as reorganized by Gen. Lord Kitchener, will require an increase of $10,000,000 for maintenance. The expenses of the establishment last year were $1,000,000 more than for any former year. Harvard house, at Stratford-on-Avon, which was built in 1596 by Alderman Thomas Rogers, grandfather of the founder of Harvard university, has just been sold at auction for $5,000. It is the best example of the architecture of the period of Stratford. Announcement is made in a recent issue of the South China Post, printed in Hong-Kong, that "on the 8th of the third moon the Chinese empress, accompanied by a retinue of 46 ladies of the palace, went to worship at the shrine of the goddess of silk-worm culture." It is becoming fashionable in Paris to leave cards at the cemetery. An oak box placed on a tombstone is intended for the cards of those who visit the resting place of a departed friend. In this way the near relatives find out those friends who still cherish the memory of the dead. Military honors were bestowed on the late Marie Langanyk, mother superior of the Gray Sisters at Tutz, Prussia, at her funeral recently. Before serving for nearly two decades at the Tutz hospital, she had earned the iron cross and a medal as nurse in the war of 1870-71. Her funeral was attended by all the military organizations of the neighborhood and three salvos were fired over her grave. Sawa Morosoft, the Russian "wool king," is dead, aged only 44. He employed in his factories over 70,000 workers. At the beginning of the war with Japan he made the government a present of 100,000 blankets, but these never reached the army in Manchuria. Officials tried to sell them for their own profit and one of them, not knowing whence they had come, actually offered them to Morosoft at a greatly reduced price. EDUCATIONAL NOTES The opinion is making much headway in Germany that children should not be obliged to study out of school. Prof. E. B. Spencer, who for the last 11 years has been instructor in Latin at the University of Denver, will take the presidency of the Methodist college at Rome. President Edward A. Alderman, of the University of Virginia, has just received the degree of LL. D. from Yale. Though but 46 years old he now has seven of these degrees. The largest Dante library in the world is that of Leonidas Leonelli in Udine, Italy. It comprises more than 3,000 publications in all languages relating to the poet. Intelligence has been received at Yale that the governor of the province of Hunan, China, has given permission for the establishment of the new Yale college at Chengsha in that province. Mrs. David Murray, of New Brunswick, N. J., has presented Johns Hopkins university with a valuable collection of books and relics illustrating the history and institutions of Japan, collected by the late Prof. David Murray. The oldest university in the world is at Peking. It is called the "School for the Sons of the Empire." Its antiquity is very great, and a granite register, consisting of stone columns, 320 in number, contains the names of 50,000 graduates. To George "Lord" Leeds of Yale, at the close of the Japanese-Russian war, will go to Japan for a term of two years under the auspices of the Imperial Educational society of that country to aid in the development of the system of education. Schuyler F. Herron, who has been superintendent of public schools in Northampton, Mass., has been called to the position of superintendent of the American School association of the City of Mexico. There are about 8,000 American and British residents in the English-speaking colony, and this association has charge of the education of the children. CHANGED HUSBAND. Change of diet is the only way to really cure stomach and bowel trouble. A woman says: "My husband had dyspepsia when we were married and had suffered from it for several years. It was almost impossible to find anything he could eat without bad results. "I thought this was largely due to the use of coffee and persuaded him to discontinue it. He did so, and be gan to drink Postum Food Coffee. The change did him good from the begin ning, his digestion improved; he suf fered much less from his nervousness and when he added Grape-Nuts food to his diet he was soon entirely cured "My friend, Mrs. — — —, of Vicks burg (my former home), had become a nervous wreck also from dyspepsia Medicines had no effect, neither did travel help her. On my last visit home, some months ago, I persuaded her to use Grape-Nuts food. She was in despair, and consented. She stuck to it until it restored her health so completely that she is now the most enthusiastic friend of Grape-Nuts that I ever knew. She eats it with cream or dry, just as it comes from the pack—keeps it in her room and eats it whenever she feels like it. "I began eating Grape-Nuts food myself, when my baby was two months old, and I don't know what I should have done without it. My appetite was gone, I was weak and nervous and afforded but very little nourishment for the child. The Grape Nuts food, of which I soon grew very fond, speedily set all this right again, and the baby grew healthful, rosy and beautiful as a mother could wish. He is two years old now and eats Grape Nuts food himself. I wish every tired young mother knew of the good that Grape Nuts would do her." Names given by Postum Co., Battis Creek, Mich. There's a reason. MONEY IN A WOLF HUNT. "The prize wolf story of the season comes from Ewen, Mich." said A. D. Roth, of Grand Rapids, Mich. "About ten miles north of Ewen is a place where the deer are supposed to be quite numerous. It was a sort of a yard, so to speak, where the deer were wont to congregate in large numbers. James Colgin believed he could find wolves there. "Partly to investigate, but prepared for action, he went to the scene. Wolves were there, and they were raising havev with the deer, as numerous carcasses testified. Colgin had a quantity of suet, which he cut up and distributed about the place. In each place he placed some strychnine. The following day he returned to the place, and found that five wolves had taken the bait and died. This made him feel pretty good. But when he heard a pack howling near by, and coming in his direction, he made up his mind that he might easily add to this number if he went about it in the right way. It so happened that he was but a short distance from the lake. He figured that the deer would run out on the ice, with the wolves in close pursuit. This is just what happened, according to Colgin's version of the affair. The procession passed not more than 50 yards away, and he opened fire. With a dozen well-directed shots from his repeater he dropped nine of the savage brutes, thus saving the deer's life. For each wolf Colgin received a bounty of $22, and he sold the hides for $6 each, making $28 for each of his 12 animals, or a total of $364 for his two days' work." FIGHT WITH HUGE SEA BAT Imagine a jet black bat of 15 or more feet across, with a long slender tail, the fins rising and falling like wings with a motion the perfection of grace; wings jet black above, pure white below, flashing alternately black and white as the fishes turfed and swung alone, standing out against the mauve tint of the bottom with wonderful distinctiveness. They bore a remarkable resemblance to bats and were the bats of the sea, relates a writer in the Metropolitan Magazine. As the dinghy moved nearer I saw that rare spectacle—a huge ray turn completely over, throwing a somersault as it swung around, a picture of grace, yet never losing its position, presenting for a few seconds beautiful lines attuned to perfect grace. I was fascinated by this singular performance, characteristic of these giant fishes, and might have remained inactive had not the dinghy reached a point when it was apparent they must see us. I permitted one, two, three to go slowly whirling on, then, selecting one that was headed up the lassoon in the direction of the cul-de-sac. I hurried the quivering grain pole into the black shadow just as it was about to turn. I heard the quick thud, saw the pole leap from the socket, heard the Indian plying his oar to head the dinghy up the reef, and then the very bottom of the reef. I watched the great batlike creature rose bodily from a maelstrom of spray, offering a vision of beating wings that deluged boat and occupants; then it fell with a resounding crash, the big waves from the impact careening the dinghy. TOOK HER AT HER WORD. Henry Did the Old-Married-Man Act a Little Too Thoroughly. "Now, Henry," said the bride, "I want you to understand distinctly that I do not wish to be taken for a bride! I am going to act exactly as if I were an old married woman. So, dearest, do not think me cold and unloving if I treat you very practically when there is anybody by." "I don't believe I can pass for an old married man," said Henry. "I am so fond of you that I am bound to show it. I am sure to betray myself." "No, you mustn't. It's easy enough; and I insist that you behave just like all old married men do. Do you hear?" "Well, darling, I'll try; but I know I shall not succeed." On the first evening the their arrival at their hotel the bride retired, relates London Tit-Bits, and the groom fell in with a whist party, with whom he sat playing cards till four o'clock in the morning. His wife spent the weary hours in weeping. At last he turned up, and met his grief-striken bride with the hilarious question: "Well, ain't I doing the old married man like a daisy?" She never referred to the subject again, and everybody in future knew that they had just been married. The Austra-Hungarian War Dogs' club lately held its first show of dogs for war and ambulance service. The highest officers in the army witnessed the performances of the dogs. Soldiers had dispersed all over the field of action, and were concealed behind hedges, among shrubs and bushes. These were supposed to be the wounded. The dogs found them all, and either stayed with them and barked if the trainers were near enough to hear them, or ran for the trainer when the distance was too long. Then they were sent with messages contained in a pocket fastened to their collars, to which they had to bring answers.—N. W. World. The Proper Head.

ONCE THERE WAS A MAN Who Had Something to Say About Politics and Who Learned Once there was a man who complained that unworthy men were too frequently elected to office, relates the Chicago Tribune, "If you attend the primaries?" asked his hearsens, "I do not," he said, "Then you have no right to kick," they told him. "It's the duty of every good citizen to attend the primaries and see who the best men are chosen as candidates." Whenupon he began attending the primaries. He worked faithfully for the nomination of sober, honest and reputable candidates. But it did no good. The other fellows turned out in greater numbers and outvoted him, and bad men were nominated and elected to office, as he felt that he had a right to kick this time, and he complained again. "Do you attend the primaries?" his hearers asked him. "Do. Then you ought to keep your mouth shut they said. You are a part of the primaries. You nominate them, and you are responsible for them." Moral: Do you get off here or wait till the car stays? DISSIMILARITY OF VIEWS. Those of the Optimist and the Pessimist Expressed in Metrical The Optimist—I love the spring for it does bring fresh breezes from the distant Adriatic. The Pessimist—But the wind east, to say the least, oft gives one pains some what rheumatic. The Optimist—When summer's here, I hold it dear, for of flowers 'tis a generous giver. The Pessimist—Yet one is not, when it quite hot, free from tortures of a sluggish bush. The Optimist—Then autumn hints, with wondrous tints, of Dame Nature in the rooftops. The Pessimist—That sounds well-vey, the truth to tell, it savors strongly of hay. The Optimist—The winter white, is my delight the "beautiful" everywhere, doth it The Pessimist-But, alas! there are colds, chract, quack doctors, asthma and bronchitis. Especially for Women.

I was very nervous and fearfully despondent. "I had been troubled in this way for five years, and had been summoned to Dodd's Kidney Pills, and what they caused to come from my kidneys will hardly stand description.

Mrs. Bessie Ainsley Seven-eighths of the men in this world marry a woman because she is beautiful in their eyes—because she has the qualities which inspire admiration, respect and love. There is a beauty in health which is more attractive to men than mere regularity of feature. The influence of women glorious in the possession of perfect physical health upon men and upon the civilization of the world could never be measured. Because of them men have attained the very heights of ambition; because of their beauty have been established and destroyed. What a disappointment, then, to see the fair young wife's beauty fading away before a year passes over her head. A sickly, half-deceased woman, especially when she is the mother of a family, is a damper to all joyousness in the home, and a drag upon her husband. The cost of a wife's constrainment drain upon the funds of a household, and too often all the doctoring does no good. If a woman finds her energies are flagging, and that everything tires her, dark shadows appear under her eyes, her sleep is disturbed by horrible dreams if she has backache, headache, burning, bruising, nervousness, whites, irregularities, or despondency, she should take means to build her system up at once by a tonic with specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This great remedy for women has done more in the way of restoring health to the women of America than it has done to women together. It is the safeguard of woman's health. Following we publish, by request, a letter from a young wife. Mrs. Bessie Ainsley of 611 South 10th Street, Tacoma, Wash., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "Ever since my child was born I have suffered, as I hope few women ever have, with inflammation, female weakness, bearing-down pains, backache and wretched headaches. It affected my stomach so that I could not enjoy my meals, and half my time was spent Professional Courtesy "I manage to keep my boarders longer than you do," said the first landlady.
