THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 52. In January Last the Woman Was Found in Her Home in Chicago With Her Throat Cut. Chicago, Ill.—Frank J. Constantine, the alleged murderer of Mrs Louise A. Gentry at her home, 582 La Salle avenue, January 6 last, is said to be under arrest in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Constantine is said to have been recognized by a woman who once lived in the apartment building in which the murder was committed. She reported to the police authorities at Poughkeepsie that the man was Constantine and he was at once arrested. The murder of Mrs. Gentry was one of the series of brutal crimes against women which was committed in this city early in the year which aroused public indignation to white heat. No motive for the crime has ever been discovered. Constantine and Mrs. Gentry were alone in the apartment at the time. She died without being able to utter a word and no trace of Constantine was ever discovered after he had left the building, except from a storekeeper of whom he bought a hat 20 minutes after the murder. The first intimation given of the crime was by Mrs. Gentry herself, who fell down the stairway leading from her apartments against the doorway of a physician who lived on the floor below. He opened the door and found Mrs. Gentry lying against it with her throat cut from ear to ear. She had evidently intended to go out, as she was dressed for the street. Her death occurred within a few minutes and without her being able to utter a single word. Constantine was a boarder in the Gentry apartments and a razor marked "C." was found on the floor just outside the doorway. It has always been the theory of the police that he approached her from behind and cut her throat before she was aware of his intention. He was seen by a number of people to run from the building. Poughkeepsie, N. Y. — Frank J. Constantine, 25 years of age, has been under arrest in the county jail here for about a week, charged with the murder of Mrs. Louise H. Gentry, of Chicago. It was not until Wednesday that the prisoner was positively identified as Frank J. Constantine. The prisoner was arrested at Tivoli, a little town 25 miles above this city. Constantine says he is not the man wanted. Wednesday Miss Ellen Schreiber, who is a cashier in a Chicago restaurant, came here and positively identified the prisoner as being the Frank J. Constantine she saw in Chicago both in the restaurant, where he took his meals, and in a cab the day following the murder. A Big Merger. St. Louis, — Announcement was made on Wednesday that Brick plants in Findlay, O.; Kansas City, Kan.; Chanute, Kan.; West Superior, Wis.; Zanessville, O.; Rochester, N. Y.; Chicago, Kansas City, Mo.; Philadelphia, Washington, Toledo, Cleveland, Minneapolis and Omaha, will be merged into the D hydraulic Press Brick Co. of St. Louis, under the name of the absorbing company. The merger includes 14 companies. The company will be increased from $3,500,000 to $10,000,000 and exchanged for the stock of the other companies. Robbers Arrested. Rockford, Ill. — After a *chase* extending 30 blocks and followed by a hand-to-hand fight on Rockford college grounds at daylight Wednesday, Policemen Grahm and Quinn arrested two men who, it is alleged, had robbed nearly every safe vault in the Brown building, a six-story office structure. Nearly $1,000 in bills and a large number of checks, drafts and other valuable papers were found on the prisoners. Among the offences robbed were those of the city clerk and other municipal officers. Explosion Wrecked the Plant. Newark, N. J. — An explosion, presumably of a naphtha tank, wrecked the saddlery and leather plant of M. Caffrey & Sons here Wednesday. Four men were burned seriously and three others slightly. The fire which followed practically destroyed the plant. The most seriously hurt were Matthew Caffrey, the head of the firm, and his three sons, Matthew, Jr., John and James. James Caffrey died later from his injuries. Committed Suicide Columbus, O. — George B. Snyder, aged 48, a bridge carpenter employed 1/2 the B. & O. at Morgans, committed suicide at his home in that village Wednesday afternoon by drinking carbolic acid. When he said "he thought he would go and kill himself," his wife thought him joking. Celebrated Anniversary Celebrated Anniversary. San Juan, Porto Rico.—The eighth anniversary of the landing of United States troops was observed Wednesday throughout Porto Rico on a larger scale than heretofore. In Union There is Strength. FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE. Delegates to Interparliamentary Union Will Formulate Plans for the Settlement of International Conflicts by Arbitration. London, Eng. — William J. Bryan's proposed rider to the model arbitration treaty was discussed at a session of the international council of the Interparliamentary Union Tuesday morning and resulted in its being recast, as follows: "If a disagreement should arise which is not included in those to be submitted to arbitration, the contracting parties shall not resort to any act of hostility before they separately or jointly invite, as the case may necessitate, the formation of an international commission of inquiry or mediation of one or more friendly powers, this requisition to take place if necessary in accordance with article viii of the The Hague convention providing for a peaceful settlement of international conflicts." On the resumption of the sessions of the conference of the Interparliamentary Union Tuesday the above was unanimously adopted after speeches by ex-Austrian Minister of Commerce Von-Plener and Mr. Bryan, formally appointing the amended rider. Baron d'Estournelles de Constant, head of the French delegation, subsequently opened the debate on the limitation of military and naval forces. He declared that if the powers were undecided among themselves how to act for their common interests they would be _orced_ to do so, first by bankruptcy and then by revolution. He said that limitation or armaments had no connection with the chimera of disarmament. The arguments against disarmament were based on the augmented expenditure of the powers. The augmentations in the United States were due to the unfortunate example of Europe, but in proportion to the population, the American forces had not been increased unreasonably and the expenditure had been augmented proportionately. Congressman D. L. Granger, of Rhode Island, was elected vice president of the American delegation for the coming year and Congressmen Richard Barthold, of Missouri, and T. E. Burton, of Ohio, were elected members of the international council IN BONDAGE. German Immigrants Claim They Were Held in Slavey by Lumber Company. Pensacola, Fla. - Peonage in a vicious form is charged against the officers of the Jackson Lumber Co at Lockhart, Ala., and United States deputies armed with warrants for their arrest left here Tuesday for that place. If the allegations are true, about 100 immigrants, mostly Germans, are held in the lumber camps of that company virtually as slaves. A party of Germans reached here Tuesday from the camps, stating that they had escaped. They went to the German vice consul for protection and told him a tale of ill treatment and cruelty. They said they were brought south in February in representations that they would receive $2 and $5 a day, but only $1 was received from the company. They allege that they were compelled to eat after the Americans and if nothing was left they got nothing. None of them was allowed to leave camp and when they attempted to leave they were caught and severely beaten. POSTAL AFFAIRS. A Good Showing Is Made in Receipts and Expenditures. Washington, D. C.-Acting Postmaster General Hitchcock on Tuesday expressed gratification that the expenditures on account of the service of the postoffice department for the quarter ended March 31, 1906, showed a material decrease from those of the corresponding quarter of last year. The total receipts for the quarter ended on the 31st of last March were $44,804,229. The excess of expenditures over receipts for the quarter was $235,114. For the quarter ended March 31, 1905, the excess of expenditures over receipts was $1,967,109, a saving on the last quarter of more than one and three-quarter millions of dollars.

Free from the Plague. Honolulu. — All shipping quarantine restrictions have been lifted here, the city having been abandoned in any case of plague for over a month. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1906. During his exile the young man condescended to the excesses common to the Russian nobility of his time. He seems to have had a special proclivity for dueling, the dangers of which he grew accustomed to face with incredible nonchallance. It was said to be his habit to grant his adversary the first shot, coolly munch cherries while the bullet sought his life, and then deliberately bring his man down. It was in a duel that he lost his life in 1837, at the age of 83, and the zenith of his fame. His opponent, having the shot, inflicted a fatal wound. Pushkn, writting on the ground, by a savage exertion of will, raised himself to his elbows, shot his murderer dead and fell back dead himself—N. Y. Age. Texas Twins Joined From Breast to Neck. Fort Worth, Tex.-Dr. D. Fender, of Lannius, Fannin county, reports that twin girls were born last night to Frank Austin and wite, colored, the babies being connected by growth from the lower point of the breast bone to the neck. Both were perfect until the neck was reached, where nature seemed to give up the work, as one child had ears and eyes and the top of the skull, and the other could speak, as if the neck had been cut off.

ROOSEVELT AND TAFT. A Brief Lecture That Should be Read Carefully and Thoughtfully. We felt last week that we made no mistake in saying that Secretary Taft's speech at Greensboro, N. C., was simply voicing the policy of the president towards the Negro. Subsequent events have fully confirmed that opinion. We have no criticism to make. We have nothing to say against Mr. Roosevelt's policy. We suppose it is his idea of "a square deal," and holding wide the "door of hope." But as we have said before, Mr. Roosevelt is a white man! The Negro expects too much from a white man, and not enough from himself. If he can keep the balance, he will well and good; but if the southern democrats rob him of his ballot, reduce him to peacage and serfdom, though in this they defy the constitution, the Negro need not look to that party with whom he has voted, and for whom he has gone to his death, though in full control of every branch of the government, to interpose and protect him and give him those rights written in the constitution. But, as we said before, we have no quarrel about the matter. Let the Negro fully understand his position; let him fully realize his utter helplessness, and maybe he will awake, arise and begin to hustle for himself and his children and cease to be the political tool of the country—Richmond (Va.) St. Luke's Herald. OBJECT TO ODOR. Japanese Claim That White People Leave a Disagreeable Smell from Their Persons. Probably few of us will be prepared for the announcement that one of the most formidable indictments brought against the Caucasian race by the mikado's subjectes is the allegation that the white man gives forth an odor that is extremely disagreeable to the brown man's olfactory nerves. Now we all know that there are certain races whose personal "bouquet" is highly offensive to us, but we have never for a moment imagined that we, the elect of the races and the arbiters of the world's destiny, were ourselves living in a glass house of this description. It is said that the Japanese really feel a great repugnance to us on this account, and that the "white man's odor" is valid ground for disqualification for service in the Japanese army and navy, and even for divorce. There seems to be a great opportunity for some inventor to contrive a neutralizing medium which will put all mankind on a basis of racial perfume sufferance. How can we ever hope to achieve the happy estate of universal brotherhood under existing conditions?—Boston Globe. The Boy Cried. St. Louis, Mo.—Fernell Green (white) was placed in Mr. and Mrs. Moses Green's care 11 years ago when he was an infant, the mother saying she would return to claim him. She "died" however, after the first visit. Until recently, the lad thought he was "blorred." Persons (white meddlers) have interfered and asked the juvenile court to place him in a family of his own class of people. Until recently the boy thought he was an Afro-American. When told the truth he clung to his foster parents, kissed them and pleading tearfully that he might stay with them. The couple caressed and fooled him, while tears moistened their cheeks. When the officers took him away the two, who had clad him and sent him to school for 11 long years, sobbed aloud at the parting. 2 THE GAZETTE.

TRADE STATE COUNCIL Cleveland, Saturday, July 28, 1906. 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. The Gazette is indebted to the Cleveland Dally Plain Dealer for the splendid group portrait of "Starlight's Champs" given in a recent issue. Greenville, Miss., Gov. Vardaman's home town, has an Afro-American bank, recently organized, with a capital stock of $30,000, and our people of that vicinity have over $100,000 on deposit in one Greenville bank alone. The attorney general of Arkansas declares that that state's poll tax amendment to the state constitution adopted ten years ago is illegal. It disfranchised about 20,000 Afro-Americans in the black belt of that state. This is one ray of sunshine from the south in the matter of disfranchisement. If you have not done so, send to Senator J. B. Foraker, Washington, D. C., a card asking him please to forward you a copy of his June 5, 1906, remarks on the conference report on the railroad rate bill, and you will receive something you ought to have—intensely interesting and beneficial, from a racial view point. Hon. J. C. Manning, of Alexander City, Ala., will publish The Southern American instead of Southern Republican, as announced in a recent issue of The Gazette. It will be a "Lincoln republican" weekly, and will be issued at once, instead of in September, as previously announced. We urge our readers to patronize the Southern American. District Attorney Jerome, of New York, after a few minutes in Atlanta, Ga., made a speech in which he told the southerners at least two things very dear to their hearts—that they were able to solve all their own problems and that they should maintain the "solid south." Wonder what Federal Officer Jerome is after that he makes such an open and silly bid for the support of southern democrats? --- The New England conference of the A. M. E. church has returned Rev. R. C. Ransom to the pastorate of Charles Street church, Boston, thus apparently clearing him of the charge of drunkenness on his recent unfortunate southern trip. The New York Age designates the action of the conference as a "whitewash" of Ransom. There are those in Cleveland and Chicago who feel the same way about it. The southern state immigration commission received a rather painful jolt the other day, when Immigration Commissioner Watchch, at Ellis Island, N. Y., sent them a telegram in which he said that unless the wages of the south were brought up to the standard of the north they need not expect emigrants to go south. He might have added that foreigners will not submit to the abuse, robbery and mob violence visited upon Afro-Americans of that section. Secretary Taft declares that the schemes adopted in the south to disfranchise Afro-Americans will not stand the test of the fifteenth amendment, and Associate Justice Brewer of the United States supreme court, asserts that the disfranchise acts of the southern states, if ever properly brought before the supreme court, must be declared unconstitutional. He also expressed his astonishment that our people have never effectively utilized this remedy. It is certainly high time that some of our national organizations were getting busy along the line Justice Brewer suggests. A resolution was adopted at the recent "illy-white" republican state convention held in Greensboro, calling on the legislature to submit to the people of North Carolina a proposition to extend the life of the "grandfather" clause from 1908 to 1920. This clause is the one that disfranchises the Afro-Americans of that state. It was to this "illy-white" convention that Secretary Taft delivered his now notorious anti-republican and anti-Afro-American enfranchisement speech of a few weeks ago. For an exhibition of unadulterated gall, we commend our readers to this action of the "illy-white" republicans of North Carolina. A Richmond, Va., "Jim Crow" street car conductor ordered an Afro-American mail carrier to change his seat from the smoking compartment, and because he refused to go back to the "Jim Crow" section of the car the conductor had him arretried. The result is a case now pending before the THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1906. United States commissioner which will in all probability result in giving that state's "Jim Crow" street car law a serious jolt. It made a big mistake when it bumped up against "Uncle Sam." Since the above was written the street car conductor has been remanded to the next session of the grand jury for delaying the United States mails, as a result of having the carrier arrested. "JIM CROW" LEADERS REAPING THEIR REWARD. It seems truly remarkable that most of the oppressive measures instituted among men have originated from those whose life record has revealed a rather unsavvy and spotted character. All bad enactments emanate from that source which prompts to deeds of viciousness and cruelty. The intelligent mind may have a discriminating conception between right and wrong, but unless it is inspired with lofty and holy motives it cannot accomplish that good which is designed to bless mankind and promote the cause of the human race. An individual may acquire reputation and distinction through a most unhallowed ambition. He may wield a commanding influence over his constituents and content himself that his future is secured to him for all time, but if the thing achieved has been won through oppression and unjust legislation, it remains only a matter of time when the work of the perperator recoils upon himself. With few exceptions the men who originated "Jim Crow" in the south have come to some foul and shameful end. Not that dame fortune has so ordained, but, on the other hand, they reap what they sow. The most of the "Jim Crow" leaders in Mississippi have reached an ignominious end, and the projectors of the separate street car system in Memphis, Tenn., have been guilty of the crime of the murderer and have branded themselves with the curse of Cain. In Georgia the father of the "Jim Crow" law is heralded throughout that state as a fugitive from justice and the proof all leads to the one conclusion, that the ways of the wicked are full of trouble and cannot avail against righteousness and life-giving principles. Don't Do It! Negro waiters of Cleveland are agitating the organization of a union under a charter from the American Waiters' union, and correspondence has been begun with the national officers of the organization looking to the granting of a charter. Several years ago there was a Negro union here—Monday's Leader. There is already a Waiters' union here in Cleveland which is affiliated with the American Waiters' union that numbers among its members representatives from almost every group of people on the face of the earth occupy our skin but don't organize a "Jim Crow" union to please them, or the same mistake will sooner or later be made here that was the case in Chicago, a year or two ago when the strike was on there and hundreds of Afro-American waiters suffered the loss forever of so many good places because of "Jim Crow" annex-unions. A Colony Buys Land in South Dakota St. Paul, Minn.—An organization of our people known as the northwestern Homestead Movement Co., whose purpose it is to bring many Afro-American of Missouri, Mississippi and Alabama into the 16 middle west states, especially South Dakota, has been formed and will be chartered under the laws of that state.

D., some time ago, and which now claims to have a hundred societies in Missouri and Mississippi, of 15 to 20 families each, all ready to move north as soon as crops in the south are harvested. Land in large tracts has been secured in South Dakota. The first colony will be started near White Lake, Aurora county.

The circular says in substance: "We desire Mexico for the Mexicans and warn all foreigners that if they do not leave the country by the 16th of September they will be driven into the sea." The Mexican government does not fear any serious trouble, notwithstanding the posting of these circulars, and will be fully able to cope with any contingency which may arise. Olean, N.

THE RUSSIAN CRISIS With the imperial ukase dissolving parliament the curtain rose upon possibly the last act in the great drama of the Russian revolution. The people and the government now stand face to face, and upon the army depends the immediate issue. Even should the government succeed in restraining an outbreak of the people the victory probably will only be temporary and simply confine the steam for the final explosion. At Viborg, Finland, in the last gap of its dying agonies Russia's short lived first parliament cast the die for a revolution. Under the spur of a threat to hasten its death with the bayonet, with the troops already massing around its refuge, the assembled members of the douma, 186 in number, with frantic haste adopted and signed an address to the people which is thoroughly revolutionary in its nature. This done, a perpetual executive committee headed by Prince Paul Dolgoroukoff, vice president of the abolished douma, was elected to carry on the work of liberation. All idea of conciliating, parleying with, or arresting and banishing revolutionists has been abandoned by the Russian government and the order has gone forth to begin a war of absolute suppression against "all enemies of society." Even the most violent reactionaries are satisfied with the present conditions and the deluge of blood they forecast. MISCCELLANEOUS.

RAILROAD BUILDERS THE MOD- ERN RACE OF DISCOVERERS Now the Exploitation of the Great Northwest Is Prominent in the Minds of All-James J. Hill's Prediction. Mr. James J. Hill recently made the startling statement that, in his opinion, by 1910, only four years from now, the population of the United States will be 100,000,000, and that when that time comes this country will consume all the wheat raised within its borders. The man who makes this prediction belongs to the modern race of discoverers, the railroad builders. Once it was the northeast passage to Cathay which fired the ambition of the explorer. Now it is the avenue to new fields of production. The twentieth century industrial explorer is the man who seeks sources of supply for breadstuffs, ores, timbers, and other material of varied character on which depends the complex life of a nation of many millions of people. The railroad magnate who spends his working days in an office hidden away in a mammoth skyscraper seems far removed from the race of 'hardy discoverers who five centuries ago made America known to the old world. But excepting perhaps Ponce de Leon, who sought here the spring of eternal youth, the ploneers among the discoverers of the western hemisphere were seeking new routes for trade just as are their successors who are to-day extending steel highways into regions which only a few short years ago were inhabited by wild animals and Indians. It is the undeveloped areas of fertile land which now attract the ploneer in railway enterprise as well as the actual settler. Whether this country will soon consume all the wheat raised within its borders or not, the markets of the world are clamoring for supplies and in response to the demand the eyes of the industrial discoverers are turned toward the northwest. To dwellers in the southern and eastern states, the term northwest still means Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana and Wyoming, Washington and Oregon, but in these states the northwest has a wider meaning. It includes not only a great extent of territory on this side of the line, but also a vast expanse of fertile lands in Canada which are now being turned into productive farms and which in a few years will be among the greatest grain producing regions of the world. When it comes to getting the product of these Canadian wheat fields to eastern markets, it is significant that, in the opinion of the railroad builders, the best route is that which is afforded by the great lakes. This means that these inland water ways are to see still further increases in the amount of their commerce. The lakes have for two centuries played an important part in the upbuilding of the northwest. In recent years the traffic on Lake Superior alone has grown so rapidly that the commerce of the Soo many times exceeds that of the Suez canal. A recent government bulletin shows that through the canals of the Soo during April of this year there passed 2,513,267 tons of freight, as against 1,300,166 in April, 1955. Last year there passed beneath the aerial ferry at the entrance to the Duluth-Superior harbor a total of 13,549 vessels, with a登记 tonnage of 26,216,154. In the same time there passed the Statue of Liberty, in New York harbor, bound to and from foreign ports, about 6,000 vessels. New York's greatest coastwise travel gave her first place, Duluth ranking second among American ports. That many of the modern lake carriers rank in size with ocean-going steamships is shown by the fact that the average net tonnage of the vessels which entered and cleared at Duluth in 1905 was 2,166. With the deepening of the Erie canal on the east the products of the northwest can be carried by water for three-quarters of the distance to the Atlantic coast, and this fact has evidently not been overlooked by the men behind Canadian railway projects. Brings Lake Superior Nearay While the greatest of railway projects now under way in the west centers in the Canadian wheat fields, the building of various short pieces of road in the western states tends to shorten the distance to the ports at this end of Lake Superior. A railway map shows many dotted lines where such short cuts are proposed. All these additions to existing railway systems mean additional commerce on the lakes. If a line is drawn from the eastern end of Lake Superior diagonally across the map of the United States to the Pacific coast at the southern extremity of California it will be found that all the territory north and west of this line is nearer to Lake Superior ports than to others on the great lakes, and in shortening their routes to the east western railroad systems evidently have this fact in mind. One-Piece Railway Wheel A process for making a one-piece steel railway wheel has been devised. For a 33-inch wheel an ingot about 16 inches in diameter is used, and with steam hammer and hydraulic press the ingot is forged until the hub and web are brought to practically the finished size. It is then subjected to a process of heat treatment, so that the outer portion of the wheel is brought to a rolling heat, while the web and hub are kept at a lower red heat. The rolling process brings the wheel to its final shape. Good in Leather Sleepers The authorities of the Russian railways are considering an odd proposal to replace the wooden sleepers under the rails with sleepers made of leather and have decided to carry out experiments on the state railways. It is claimed for the curious project that neither air nor weather has special influence on leather sleepers, that they do not crack when nails are driver through them, and that they are less costly than wood, as they remain longer in use.

MISS ANNIE HENDREN. MISS ANNIE HENDREN, Rocklyn, Wash., writes: "I feel better than I have for over four years. I have taken several bottles of Peruna and one bottle of Manalin. I can now do all of my work in the house. I have taken a bottle of the milk, and so forth. A think Peruna is a most wonderful medicine. "I believe I would be in bed to-day if I had not written to you for advice. I had taken all kinds of medicine, but none did我 any good. "I has made me a well and happy girl. I can never say too much for Peruna." Not only women of rank and leisure praise Peruna, but the wholesome, useful women engaged in honest toil would not be without Dr. Hartman's world renowned remedy. I have used it for many thousand women every year and he never fails to receive a multitude of letters like the above, thanking him for his advice, and especially for the wonderful benefits received from Peruna. FROG WAS TO BLAME. Weather Prophet Had Simply Put Faith Where He Believed He Had a Right. James Wilson, the secretary of agriculture, was discussing an antiquated kind of farming. "It is about as profitable and logical," he said, "as the weather reading of a Connecticut farmhand I used to know. "This farmland claimed that he could read the weather infallibly. On a walk with me one afternoon a frog croaked, and he said: "We will have clear weather for 24 hours. When a frog croaks in the afternoon you may be sure of 24 hours of sunshine." "We walked on, and in 20 minutes or so a heavy shower came up and we were both drenched to the skin. "You are a fine weather prophet," said I, as we hurried homeward through the downpour. 'You ought to be ashamed of yourself.' "O. well," said the farmhand, "the frog lied. It's to blame, not me. Am I responsible for the morals of that particular frog?" The Newspaper Maker.

BACK TO PULPIT. What Food Did for a Clergyman. A minister of Elizabethtown tells how Grape-Nuts food brought him back to his pulpit: "Some 5 years ago I had an attack of what seemed to be La Gripe which left me in a complete state of collapse and I suffered for some time with nervous prostration. My appetite failed, I lost flesh till I was a mere skeleton, life was a burden to me, I lost interest in everything and almost in everybody save my precious wife. "On the recommendation of some friends I began to use Grape-Nuts food. At that time I was a miserable skeleton, without appetite and hardly able to walk across the room; had ugly dreams at night, no disposition to entertain or be entertained and began to shim society. "I finally gave up the regular ministry, indeed I could not collect my thoughts on any subject, and became almost a hermit. After I had been using the Grape-Nuts food for a short time I discovered that I was taking on new life and my appetite began to improve; I began to sleep better and my weight increased steadily; I had lost some 50 pounds, but under the new food regime I have regained almost my former weight and have greatly improved in every way. "I feel that I owe much to Grape-Nuts and can truly recommend the food to all who require a powerful rebuilding agent, delicious to taste and always welcome." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. A true natural road to regain health, or hold it, is by use of a dish of Grape-Nuts and cream morning and night. Or have the food made into some of the many delicious dishes given in the little recipe book found in planks. Ten days' trial of Grape-Nuts helps many. "There's a reason."

"My dear," says the thoughtful husband, entering the house with a huge package in his arms, "you remember last week you secured such a wonderful bargain in shirts at 48 cents and neckties at three for a quarter for me?" "Yes, love," says the fond wife. "Well, don't think I didn't appreciate your thoughtfulness. See, I have bought something for you. I noticed some beautiful green and yellow plaid goods in a show window on my way home, and bought you 80 yards of it at four cents a yard. The clerk said it was a great bargain, and it will make enough dresses to last you two years. Why, she has fainted?"—Life. Apologies "In their manner of accepting apologies, I find a great difference in men and women, said the woman whose business takes her a good deal in crowds. "Push accidentally against a man in elevated or subway, then offer him an apology, and ten to one he will accept it with a delighted smile, but under the same circumstances a woman will almost invariably give you a frozen stare and pass you the tee pitcher." The Clew. "I think I have another clue!" exclaimed the new detective, excited. "Go to work," rejoined the old police officer, scornfully. "You're not writing a story. You're not supposed to put in your time finding clues, so as to hold off the capture of the criminal for 40 chapters."—Washington Star. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY. JULY 28, 1906. TERRIBLE TO RECALL. Five Weeks in Bed with Intensely Painful Kidney Trouble. Mrs. Mary Wagner, of 1367 Kossuth Ave., Bridgeport, Conn., says: "I was so weakened and generally run down with kidney disease that for a long time I could not do my work and was five weeks in bed. There was continual bearing down pain, terrible backaches, headaches and at times dizzy spells when everything was a blur before with kidney disease that for a long time I could not do my work and was five weeks in bed. There was continual bearing down pain, terrible backaches, headaches and at times dizzy spells when everything was a blur before me. The passages of the kidney secretions were irregular and painful, and there was considerable sediment and odor. I don't know what I would have done but for Donn's Kidney Pills. I could see an improvement from the first box, and five boxes brought a final cure." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co. Buffalo, N. Y. THE SHEPHERD'S CROOK. City People First Learn Use to Which the Implement Is Put by Owner "What is a shepherd's crook used for?" The automobillists were out, far out, in the country. A summer sky of bright, delicious blue smiled down on them. An air perfumed with turf and flower scents fanned their cheeks. The land was dotted with sheep, which a shepherd guarded, attended by a shaggy and wise shepherd dqg. "The use of a shepherd's crook? Why, she said, "it is a staff, a support, isn't it?" "But the crook—the crook handle—that is what I'm speaking of. What is the use of that crook handle?" he repeated. She did not know. No one knew. He called the young shepherd. "These ignorant people," he said, "don't know why a shepherd always carries a crook. Show them what a crook is used for." The shepherd smiled, and, approach a sheep, he hooked the crook around its hind leg, and drew it to him. He hooked another sheep's hind leg, another's. another's. in a minute or two he had hooked a dozen sheep. "That's wot a shepherd's crook is fur," he said; "to grab hoit o' the sheep with. A shepherd without a crook would be like a fisherman without a hook." AWFUL ITCHING ON SCALP. Hair Finally Had to Be Cut to Save Any—Scalp Now in Good Condition—Cured by Cuticura. "I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment for a diseased scalp, dandruff, and constantly falling of hair. Finally I had to cut my hair to save any at all. Just at that time I read about the Cuticura Remedies. Once every week I shampooed my hair with the Cuticura Soap, and I used the Ointment twice a week. In two months time my hair was long enough to do up in French twist. That is now five years ago, and I have a lovely head of hair. The length is six inches below my waist line, my scalp is in very good condition, and no more dandruff or itching of the scalp. I used other remedies that were recommended to me as good, but with no results. Mrs. W. W. F. Griess, Clay Center, Neb., Oct. 23, 1905." WISDOM OF THE ANCIENTS Attention to small things is the economy of virtue.—Chinese maxim. The ways to enrich are many and most of them foul for you.—Terence. Provided a woman be well princlicled she has dowry enough.—Plautus. Where the love of the people is assured the seditious are thwarted.—Bias.

To do a kindness to a bad man is like sowing your seed in the sea.—Phocylides. We ought either to be silent or speak things better than silence.—Pythagoras.

Don't cover your head with the bed-clothes. Have your covers warm but light. Don't go to bed hungry. Eat any light simple food that you wish if it agrees with you. Don't sleep in a room that is too cold. From 55 to 60 degrees is the right temperature. Don't go to bed with cold feet, but see to it that they are warm and comfortable before you get in bed. Don't fill your bedroom with bric-a-brac and draperies, but have as little as possible in it to catch the dust. Don't put your pillows in the sun, as it draws the oil out of the feathers. Sun the bed and bedding, but place the pillows out of the sunlight in a current of air. West Virginia Bear Hunt A large black bear caused quite an excitement in this section last week. He was first discovered near Aleck Park's residence with an air of bravery not altogether lovely. Aleck has two fierce dogs that chased him up against the garden fence, and, as is often the case, no gun could be found loaded, and after tossing the dogs around over the meadow with apparent ease he crossed over to near Harper Wolford's on the creek and made his escape in the jungle, hotly pursued by a dozen or more men and dogs with short breath and fast beating hearts.—Hampshire Review. A man might give his wife more spending money if she wouldn't spend so much of it on things for him that he doesn't want. CASTORIA For Infants and Children Bears The Signature Of Charles H. Hitchner. In Use For Over Thirty Years The Kind You Have Always Bought FOR THE ENGAGED GIRL. You must train yourself to be a good wife. Encourage him to be upright and industrious. They think it fine to be engaged to two men at the same time. It isn't fine, girls; it's contemptible and hurts a girl immeasurably. Love me, be brave and happy that will teach you how to make a home. Help him to save by not demanding extravagant gifts and treats from him. After you have accepted a man's love try and realize the responsibility that rests upon you. And whether the acceptance is symbolized by a ring or not, the obligation is there just the same. Do not plight your truth to any man without being very sure that you cannot live happily without him. Some girls make and break engagements of marriage as casually as they would an engagement to go to theater. Do not lead a man on to propose merely for the satisfaction of conquest. Human hearts are not made to juggle with. That all sounds like a very large contract, girls, but that is what you are responsible for when you accept a man's love. Try and bring out all that is best in your flance; let him see that you love and respect him and admire his fine qualities. Don't look on him as merely the man who can help you to have a good time; look on him as your future husband, the man you love and honor. The Things We Eat Too much meat is absolutely hurtful to the body. Sailors on board of ships get scurry when their supply of vegetable food is exhausted. The digestive organs of the human body demand vegetable food, and if we don't eat enough vegetables we pay for it dearly. Nature gave us wheat, and in every kernel of wheat nature has distributed iron, starch, phosphorus, lime, sugar, salt and other elements necessary to make bone, blood and muscle. EGG-O-SEE is wheat scientifically prepared. Cooked, and made into crisp flakes, EGG-O-SEE goes into the stomach ready for the digestive organs to convert it into life-giving substances with but little effort. EGG-O-SEE eaters are a clean-eyed, strong and happy lot. The proof of a pudding and the proof of EGG-O-SEE is in the eating. EGG-O-SEE besides being solid nourishment is most palatable. Every mouthful is a joy to the taste and direct benefit to your health. A 10-cent package of EGG-O-SEE contains ten liberal breakfasts. Our friends advertise us. They eat EGG-O-SEE for a while. They grow strong. They are well and happy and they pass the good word along. Next time you send to the grocer's tell your boy or girl to bring home a package of EGG-O-SEE. Have your children eat EGG-O-SEE. It is their friend. They'll eat EGG-O-SEE when nothing else will taste good. You try EGG-O-SEE and you can deduct the cost from your doctor's bills. We send our book, "Back to Nature," free. It's a good bookful of plain, good, common sense. If you want a copy, address EGG-O-SEE Company, 10 First St., Quincy, III. Sleepy Policeman's Mistake An urban councilor of, Milton, Sittlingbourne, England, got into a compartment at Barking in which a policeman and a prisoner were travelling. Presently the policeman fell asleep and when the train reached Plaistow the prisoner, falling to arouse his custodian, quietly got out. When the policeman woke up he mistook the urban councilor for his prisoner and tried to force him out to the platform. The councilor resisted, and the train went on to Bromiley-by-Bow. Here the policeman succeeded in hauling the victim out and took him back to Plaistow by train. After a long cross-examination the councilor was liberated and reached home by cab in the small hours of the morning. Yellowstone Park This is the grand tourist resort of the people and one of the most beautiful parts of the American Continent. Only by a trip to this region can the tourist comprehend the endless variety and stupendous grandeur of the features embraced in this tract of country. Very low round-trip rates to this resort have been put in effect this summer by the Union Pacific and its connections. For full information in regard to rates, and Yellowstone Park folder, address W. G. Neimeyer, G. A., 120 Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, IL. Shelter Tents There is a probability of the Australian military authorities encouraging the manufacture or importation of shelter tents, as used in Japan during the late war. The tent consists of a waterproof sheet with hooks and eyelets, the weight being trifling. Each Japanese soldier carries one of these sheets in his kit, and any number of them can be laced together, the custom being for four men to form a bivouac. Arms are piled in the usual way, and the sheets are spread over the pile weapons, affording shelter from both heat and rain. They can be utilized in many ways for sheltering the soldiers. It is better to decide a difference between enemies than friends, for one of our friends will certainly become an enemy, and one of our enemies a friend.—Blas. THEWINNINGSTROKE If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reasonable amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's improvement in cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches, etc. It is all important, however, in selecting a laxative, to choose one of known quality and excellence, like the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without griping, irritating or debilitating the internal organs in any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists, and that full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on the front of every package. Regular price, 50c per bottle. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP When Herbert, Spencer was a boy his father sent him away from home to school. The youngster became homesick and with two shillings in his pocket made his way home, over 120 miles, in three days, walking most of the way. He did 48 miles the first day and 47 on the second. On the third day a friendly coach driver took him most of the way for nothing. In a few days a letter dropped in the Chicago general postoffice fifteen or twenty minutes before the departure of trains for St. Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha, St. Louis, New Orleans, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Cincinnati, Buffalo, New York and the east will be aboard flyers on their way to these and hundreds of other points between the Lakes and the Gulf and the two oceans. The new fast work will be possible by the connection between the Chicago subway and the Illinois Central's mail rooms at the Park Row station, which is also used by the Michigan Central, Big Four and Wisconsin Central roads. The subway which runs under Wabash avenue has a spur in Thirteenth street to the south end of the big railway station. All sack mail to this station has been hauled by wagons. Now it will be dropped into waiting electrical cars in the subway under the postoffice and rushed to the Park Row station, where it will be dumped onto waiting elevators which will lift them to the doors of waiting mail cars. Cornelius Vanderbilt, in the name of his father, and Alfred G., in the name of his mother, made application for membership in the Rhode Island Society of the Cincinnati as the representative of the Vanderbilt family. The society decided that Cornelius was the proper representative and he was elected with 15 others. A woman can put this and that together and tell everything her husband is doing. But a woman can fool her husband whenever she wants to. Fortunately, women do not often care to fool their husbands.
