THE TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO. 8. More About the Autumn Modes Two Handsome Autumn Gowns. Fashion's decrees are in the main whimsical and uncreat, and the best laid plans of manufacturers and merchants "gang aft a gley," for they understand better than anyone else the uncertainty as to the success of any new tints and new designs in materials in winning the popular favor. One of the novelties may fall entirely, and may be popular, a third may be chic—for to be popular and to be chic mean two very different things, and things quite incompatible. A color or material may be smiled upon by the ultra modish at the opening of the season and may prompt find favor with the crowd. Promptly the color becomes epidemic and the fashionable woman shuns it as she would the plague; but a certain percentage of American women, and by no means a small percentage, will always jump at the first novelties instead of waiting to see what colors and materials win acceptance with the few who keep closely in touch with fashion's best. The reds have distinct importance upon the manufacturers' color cards, and a long line of reds, some of them exceedingly beautiful, are offered in the fall materials. The so-called ruby colorings, clear, yet without crudeness—as are all of the colorings represented in first-class materials, now that the dyers have indeed qualified as artists—are emphasized, and the nine reds, many of which, like the nine dregs, are off the clear toes, bid fair to become very popular. Numerous greens are confidently advanced, particular emphasis is being laid upon the bronze green tones; and though there is some difference of opinion as to the part brown is to play in the season's modes many shades of this color are in evidence and some buyers who usually know where they speak expect the broths to have a leading role. Several warm browns of golden tinge, a mahogany tint and the dead leaf colorings all promise well. And as for black all indications point to such a black season as we have not had in many years. Striped effects are to figure largely among the coming modes, and a novelty in black goods will be the striped effect produced wholly by the difference in fabric. Checks and plaids will receive recognition, but the materials in these designs already shown indicate a tendency toward effects a trifle more pronounced than those of the gray checks and plaids so much worn last spring. Fine checks in gray and black, flecked with tiny threads of contrasting color and plaided by a fine overline of this same color, are attractive, and similar Odds and Ends of Fashion Talk Odds and Ends of Fashion Talk Moire is being vigorously pushed by the manufacturers, but indications point to the probability that it will be used chiefly for trimming and in combination and only the elderly will be disposed to favor whole frocks of this material. Charming evening gowns made of the exquisite pointed chiffon cloths with garland borders and bands. These are made in 60-inch widths, and will be popular. With the continuation of the rage for laces black silk lace is acquiring an unprecedented prestige. One noticeable feature of the winter frock will be the use of heavy cushion embroidery, and the buttons of carved ivory and of tortoise shell so popular in Paris are certain to gain favor among those who can afford the luxury. In new waist flannels many attractive striped effects will be offered, the color scheme often including many colors, but the blending bringing them into inconspicuous harmony. And now we are to have the trimmed pockets, which are features of some of the newest French coats of dressy character. Plaid cloth will be popular for fall costumes and we show herewith a novel design for gown done in plaid and plain cloth. The plaid combination is dark green, blue and black and the plain cloth blue, or green may be used if preferred, for the making of the panels on bodice and skirt, while little laplaps, cuffs and buttons of black satin will give a smart finish. The effect can be varied by having the waist designs in color checks with overline plaiding or striping of black are equally good. Beautiful tartan plaids and plaids of tartan effect, but in colorings to which no clan will lay claim, are represented among the soft woolens. Much is said about the increasing simplicity and severity in the tailored street costume, and it is unquestionable that the severe tailor-made suit will have its place. Already one hears of broadcloth costumes whose skirts are trimmed in flat, shaped flounces, embroidered to match the embroidery upon collar and cuffs of the fanciful little coat, and of costumes in which satin and broadcloth are cleverly combined, the satin forming the foundation of the frock, while cloth of the same shade is lavishly used for trimming. Satin promises to have great success and a satin finish appears upon many of the loveliest silks and sheer silken stuffs, while satin stripes, satin dots, etc. enter into many of the fancy combination materials, such as the satin and crape stripes and the satin and silk mousseline stripes already noted. For the dressy coat and skirt suits it is probable that the bolero, whose decline is once more heralded, will be as popular as ever, and there will be loose, picturesque little paletot and mantle effects, such as have been seen in the summer costumes. The quaint draped wrap recalling the days of the shawl is too recent a favorite in Paris to be dropped merely because of a change of season, and we shall see these effects in cloth and velvet and fur. Short waisted coats, too, will be a legacy from summer to winter, and these will have skirts of varying lengths, from the short hip length basque to the long, enveloping skirts of the carriage and theater coat. The short waisted back combined with fronts, giving a natural waist line, is not unbecoming, even to the woman of large hips, if it be cleverly cut and hung; but it does need very skillful handling. In our illustration we show two very smart costumes. The one with the plain skirt is of rich bronze corduroy velveten, with very smart revers and tabs of cream moire, and the overlays of very fine gimpure lace on the bodice just supplies the happy touch that enhances the charm of the gown. The other costume is a very effective model in mouse-colored cloth, trimmed with velvet of the same tone, the smart little bolero coat, which is lined with silk being finished with cord and buttons.

Biographical Sketch. From the time Rev. Butler entered the ministry, more than 28 years ago, he has been very successful and has been justly styled "a debt payer." Mr. Butler was born in Frederick county, Md., in 1845, of slave parents, and was 16 years of age before ever learning the alphabet. His first opportunity to secure the benefits of an education was in the Freedman school, conducted by the government during reconstruction at Berksville, Md. Years after he was given an opportunity to do janitor work at Wittenburg college, Delaware, O., for his tuition, and for seven years pursued studies there that fitted him for his very successful career as a church builder and debt payer. During his 24 years in the ministry, Rev. Butler... One of the oldest and best educators in the south, and one of the most widely known, was Prof. B. K. Sampson, of Memphis, Tenn., whose death was recently reported. For many years the professor had been in charge of our schools at Paris, Tenn. Within the year he had entered business at Memphis with a son-in-law and was doing nicely. Many years ago Prof. Sampson was a member of the faculty of Wilberforce university. Besides his immediate family, Prof. Sampson leaves a number of relatives, Mr. Geo. Sampson, one of our oldest residents of this city, being a brother. His family has our heartfelt sympathy. Prof. B. K. Sampson, of Memphis, Ten, a well known educator, died last month. He was a native of North Carolina and brother to Rev. John P. Sampson. It is probable that no Negro ever died in that city whose loss was more deeply deplored, or who left a larger void in educational affairs, than B. K. Sampson. To have known Prof. B. K. Sampson was to have loved and reverenced him. There was something about the man that commanded deep attention; that riveted the gaze of his auditor on his venerable features; that drew attention to his work; that made him shone through his expressive eyes. Well, may it be said of him, that he was strong in all the qualities that go to make a perfect man. His life was not lived in vain but for the glory of God and the betterment of man—Washington (D. C.) Record. OBITUARY----POWELL A Good Pastor Gone—Social, Person al and Other Local Notes. Smithfield, O.—The funeral services last Tuesday of the Rev. B. A. L. Powell, pastor of the A. M. E. church, were largely attended. He was beautifully laid awake from the same. Revs. C. D. White, P. J. Blackburn and Allers, of the M. P. church, Rev. D. L. Lewis and others officiated. Rev. White preached an impressive sermon, which was highly appreciated by the bereaved companion. The casket was covered with lovely flowers. Eight little flower girls followed, carrying the sweet fragrants. The locals, class leaders, stewards and trustees were next to follow. We have lost a good pastor, but our loss is his immortal gain.

BUTLER. His Spendid work in the "Maumee City"—Interesting Biography. Toledo, O.—Sunday evening marked the close of the most successful year's work of Warren A. M. E. church. When Rev. D. W. Butler took charge, one year ago, the indebtedness of the church was more than $7,000. The close of the present year finds the church increased in membership, the spiritual interest good, the floating debts paid, the current expenses of the year cared for, obligations of the stewards met and all conference claims subscribed to. The financial report submitted by the secretary was the most interesting in the history of the church. It is as follows: Raised for trustee purposes, $2,000; stewards, $1,223; Sunday school, $1,832; missionary, $50.27; Allen C. E., $802; conference claims, $127. Grand total, $3,787.72. Rev. Butler, the pastor, left for conference with the best wishes of saint and sinner and with the fond hope and prayer for his return.

From the time Rev. Butler entered the ministry, more than 28 years ago he has been very successful and has been justly styled a "debt payer". Mr. Butler was born in Frederick county, Md., in 1845, of slave parents, and was 16 years of age before ever learning the alphabet.

Years after he was given an opportunity to do janitor work at Wittenburg college, Delaware, O., for his tuition, and for seven years pursued studies there that fitted him for his very successful career as a church builder and debt payer. During his years in the ministry Rev. Butler has served as pastor at Berkville in Ohio: Cadz, 5 years; Dayton, 3 years; Stenbenville, 4 years; Lockland, 2 years; Urbana, 4 years; Findlay, 3 years; Philcille, 1 year; Youngstown, 1 year. While at Dayton the late Paul Lawrence Dunbar, our greatest poet, was converted under his administration and became a member of his church. On going to Dayton he found his charge $2,400 in debt, and left it with $400 unpaid. In Steubenville he raised during his one year pastorate at Youngstown, he paid an indebtedness on the church and parsonage. In Findley he paid off the entire indebtedness of his church. During the one year pastorate at Youngstown, he paid an indebtedness on the church and also raised $2,166, from which he paid current expenses and left to its credit between two and three hundred dollars. Rev. Butler attributes much of his signal success to his wife, who at all times assisted her husband in his many charges, in a way that only a patient, faithful and devoted wife can. At the recent quarter conference, Rev. Mr. Butler's work was highly endorsed and 14, unanimous vote for his return was tendered. New Castle, Pa., News.

Somebody said it is better to be beautiful than to be good. But it is certainly better to be good than to be ugly. It is better to be charming. A woman cannot charm because she wants to. A man is not agreeable because he sets out to be. Quite the reverse. In effort is failure. The proper effect must, like repartee, be spontaneous and unpremeditated. It must be radiated naturally, like light and love. Books there are that pretend to tell how it is done. They do so quite as competently as grasshoppers teach entomology. The ability to charm, to be agreeable, to entertain perfectly, and to be perfectly entertaining, is an art generally prematural but always prolonged. The more technique is so volatile that it must be inhaled. Like the Mayfair intonation, little by little, it must be absorbed. Kings and thugs may abash the amateur in the art of pleasing but the artist is at home with them. He puts himself in harmony with them. In the ability to do that is the whole secret of the art of pleasing—Edgar Saltus in the October Delineator. Personal, Social, Lodge Church, Literary and Other Notes of Interest. Dayton—Rev. T. W.

Lynch, of Mississippi, who was appointed a paymaster with rank of captain in the army at the beginning of the Spanish-American war, was recently promoted to major, continuing as paymaster. He served several terms in congress many years ago, and is one of the few members of the "old school" of Afro-American republicans still alive. WEALTHY ISABEL LEWIS Her Income $200 a Day Will Soon be Increased to $650 a Day, an Annual Income of $237,000 Tulsa, I. T.—In the Creek Nation lives a little girl named Isabel Lewis, the daughter of a Negro, who was formerly a Creek slave. This little girl owns 80 acres of land, part of her allotment, in the new "Glenn Pool" oil district, which is giving her an income such as only millionaires can have. There are three oil wells on her land, each of which is producing 1,000 barrels of oil per day, and each of which is capable of having its daily capacity doubled. It is the announced intention of the company that has leased her land to put down seven more wells. If each of the additional wells produces as much as those already drilled, and there is no reason to doubt it, her royalty of one-eighth of the entire amount produced at 52 cents per barrel, the present market price of oil, will give her a daily income of $650, or an annual income of $237,000. At 5 per cent, that amount would be the interest on a capital of nearly $5,000,000. Under the lease which Isabel Lewis has operated, the operators who have leased her land, and which was approved by the secretary of the interior, the oil which is her daily share is turned into the pipe line of the Standard Oil Co., and the money it represents is at once placed to her credit. GUARDED BY UNCLE SAM. Josephine Morrison, another little Negro girl, 12 years of age, the daughter of a Creek freedman, has an allotment of 160 acres in the oil-producing district, surrounded on all sides by flowing wells. The Morrison girl has her tract leased on a royalty of one-eighth of all oil produced. The lesses of this tract intend to drill at least 20 wells as fast as the oil can be taken care of by the Standard Oil people. The father of the Morrison girl, as well as the father of the Lewis girl, has been appointed guardian of his daughter. Their guardianship, however, is only nominal, for the reason that every act of the guardians must be approved by Secretary Hitehcock. This scrutiny of accounts, particularly in the expenditure of money, by the United States secretary of the interior, cannot help but result in making both the Morrison and Lewis girls very wealthy women when they arrive at legal age.

RAH! FOR DABNEY. His Talk Has the Right Ring—A Loyal Member of the Race. Cincinnati O—The local Daily Tribune of the 18th contained the following: Prof. W. P. Dabney, one of the leading colored citizens of this county, owner of Dabney building on McAllister street, the founder of the famous Douglass league and the most prominent independent republican for here many years; also the first colored paymaster of this city, was interviewed yesterday relative to his attitude in the coming campaign. He stated frankly and unequivocally his intention of supporting the straight republican ticket, and doing everything possible for its success. His resolution in that regard was carried by no personal grievance, since no book had been sought by him from the democratic party; but while in the past he had not coincided with many actions of the republican party, yet the present administration of the democratic party has proven to be a calamity to the Negroes of this community. Its record has been signaled by race prejudice of the rankest sort. Not satisfied with dropping from chemical positions all colored men and replacing them by whites, the board went a step further and publicly supported its members who declared they would vote for no Negro as sanitary officer. The position sought by the colored man in that case was menial, both in character and compensation. After such an exhibition, very few colored men, when informed of the true condition of affairs will be found aiding an administration whose actions have been so conspicuously detrimental to their interests.

How many women do you know who are perfectly well and strong? We hear every day the same story over and over again. "I do not feel well; I am so tired all the time!" Miss Kate McDonald More than likely you speak the same words yourself, and no doubt you feel far from well. The cause may be easily traced to some derangement of the female organs which manifests itself in depression or irritation, reluctance to go out, fear of being held down, bearing-down pain, flatulency, nervousness, sleeplessness, or other female weakness. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless heeded a life of suffering or a serious condition, the never-failing remedy for all these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Miss Kate McDonald of Woodbridge, N. I., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: Demented health has meant so much to me that I have been from telling it for the sake of other suffering women. "For a long time I suffered untold agony with female tremor and irregularities which made my arms weak and numb, thought I would recover, but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has entirely cured me, and made me well and strong, and I have been able to recover women what a splendid medicine it is." For twenty-five years Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, has under her direction, and since her decease, been advising sick women free of charge. Her advice is free and always helpful. Address, Lynn, Mass. He Wasn't Wise. He—No, Mr. Wyse, I'm afraid I must refuse you. You would have no consideration for the feelings of my mother.

Impossible Advice. In pulling down an old room at Booking, England, workmen came upon a wine flagon imbedded in the brickwork. A page of foolscap dated Aug. 15, 1783, found inside the flagon gave details of the building of the chimney of Josiah Reeve, the owner, with the names of "ye master carpenter" and "ye masterbricklayer." It concluded: "ye Josiah Reeve, father of six child-en, leaves this memorandum in this place. His wife was Elizabeth Houston, of Great St. Helens, London, to whom he was married March 18, 1773. Reader, go thou and do likewise." A NERVOUS WRECK Mrs. Green Gained 26 Pounds and Recovered Her Health by Taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. General debilitation is a term that covers a multitude of cases where there is no route disease, yet the patient continues to lose strength and the doctor's medicines have no apparent effect. This is the decline that leads to death if means are not found to check it. In a great many cases, the patient's Pink Pills will check it and restore health and strength because they actually make new blood and so send renewed vitality to every organ and tissue of the body. Mrs. S. A. Green, whose address is box 20, R. F. D. No. 4, Franklin Ga., says: "For three and a half years I suffered with weakness and nervousness, complicated with stomach trouble, and I was under the physician's periods singing from three weeks to two nibbles and was under the physician's care most of the time for three years. I do not know the cause of my trouble but I was prostrated with weakness and, although I took a great deal of medicine, nothing seemed to give me strength. At times my stomach hurt me something fearful and my head often troubled me, and when I sleep I did get did not refresh me. "When I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I weighed but 104 pounds. I knew I was so bad that a few doses would not care me and I had patience. Soon the pills began to give me strength, my blood got in better condition, I could sleep well and help some with the housework. Now I weigh 130 pounds and think nothing of it. Pink Pills have done wonders for me and the neighbors all know this statement is true." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all drugstores, or will be sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of the 50 pills per box, or on schedule for the 50 pills Medicine Co., Schemectady, N.Y.

There is a aquabable as to the correct name for flying machines, airships and balloons, and the Aero club of France attempts to set the matter straight. "Acaronef" describes a flying machine heavier than air; that is an apparatus having no gas bag "Aeronels" are divided into several classes: "Helicoptera," machines depending on screws for flight; "aeroplanes," machines propelled by the flapping of wings. The expression "aviator," very often incorrectly employed, should be applied only to the pilot of an "aeronaf," as "aeronaut" is applied to the pilot of a gas balloon. Selfishness of Man.

The Man—I wished I was in Casey's, on the corner, wid a half keg o' m mix and a whole chicken sandwich. The woman (angrily)—That's the way wid you men, always wishin' for the best of everything—N. Y. Tribune. Newspaper For Every Four Persons. A bulletin made public at the U. S. census bureau the other day shows that 19,624,757 copies of daily papers, or one for every four persons, are turned out each week day in the United States. On Sundays the number printed is 11,539,521. The total amount charged for advertising in 1905 was $145,551,811. The capital-invested in printing and publishing is $394,021,359. We live in the age of machinery. The thinking, directing mind becomes daily of more account, while mere brawn falls correspondingly in value from day to day. That eccentric philosopher, Elbert Hubbard, says in one of his essays, "where a machine will do better work than the human hand, we prefer to let the machine do the work." It has been but a few years since the cotton gin, the "spinning Jenny" and the power loom displaced the hand picker, the spinning wheel and the hand loom; since the reaper and binder, the rake and tedder, the moving machine took the place of the old cradle, scythe, pitchfork and hand rake; since the friction match superseded the flint and tinder; since the modern paint factory replaced the slab and muller, the paint pot and paddle. In every case where machinery has been introduced to replace hand labor, the laborers have resisted the change; and as the weavers, the sempstresses and the farm laborers protested against new-fangled looms, sewing machines and agricultural implements, so in recent times compositors have protested against type-setting machines, glass blowers against bottle blowing machines, and painters against ready mixed paints. And as in the case of these short-sighted classes of an earlier day, so with their mitators of to-day, the protest will be in vain. It is a protest against civilization, against the common weal, against their own welfare. The history of all mechanical improvements shows that workmen are the first to be benefited by them. The invention of the sewing machine, instead of throwing thousands of women out of employment, increased the demand to such an extent that thousands of women have been employed, at better wages, for shorter hours and easier work where hundreds before worked in laborious misery to eke out a pittable existence. It was so with spinning and weaving machinery, with agricultural implements—in fact, it is so with every notable improvement. The multiplication of books in the last decade is a direct result of the invention of linotype machinery and fast presses. The mixed paint industry, in which carefully designed paints for house painting are prepared on a large scale by special machinery, is another improvement of the same type. The cheapness and general excellence of these products has so stimulated the consumption of paint that the demand for the services of painters has correspondingly multiplied. Before the advent of these goods a well-painted house was noticeable from its rarity, whereas to-day an ill-painted house is conspicuous. Nevertheless, the painters, as a rule, following the example set by the weavers, the sempstresses and the farm laborers of old, almost to a man, oppose the improvement. It is a real improvement, however, and simply because of that fact the sale of such products has increased until during the present year it will not fall far short of 90,000,000 or 100,000,000 gallons. Hindsight is always better than foresight, and most of us who deplore the short-sightedness of our ancestors would do well to see that we do not in turn furnish "terrible examples" to our posterity. FINDS VIRTUE IN OLD CLOTHES. Men's Garments Shaped to the Figure by Age Catch Artist's Eye. To the eye of the artist the garments of the modern man are only tolerable when age has adapted them somewhat to the lines of the figure; to the average artist a new suit of clothes is an abomination. "It is not only that new clothes are more ugly than old," said a knight of the palette who discussed the question; "to my mind no one can be properly easy or graceful in them. "I never feel that I properly know a man until I have met him wearing an old suit. Certainly no man can possibly be its natural self in evening dress. "I have noticed again and again how different the same people are when wearing different clothes. I went, for instance, to a large family gathering some time ago, and for some reason everybody had donned full evening dress. What a difference it made! We were all on terms of intimate friendship, but somehow the clothes brought in an element of coldness and formality. We all felt it—even the women, although, of course, the fair sex are not easily persuaded of the merits of well-worn garments. But no man who has discovered the case and comfort of them will readily give them up. As for the artistic side of modern clothes, it only comes when they have mellowed by use!" WELL PEOPLE TOO Wise Doctor Gives Postum to Convalescents. A wise doctor tries to give nature its best chance by saving the little strength of the already exhausted patient, and building up wasted energy with simple but powerful nourishment. "Five years ago," writes a doctor, "I commenced to use Postum in my own family instead of coffee. I was so well pleased with the results that I had two grocers place it in stock, guaranteeing its sale. "I then commenced to recommend it to my patients in place of coffee, as a nutritious beverage. The consequence is, every store in town is now selling it, as it has become a household necessity in many homes. "I'm sure I prescribe Postum as often as any one remedy in the Materia Medica—in almost every case of indigestion and nervousness I treat, and with the best results. "When I ones introduce it into a family, it is quite sure to remain. I shall continue to use it and prescribe it in families where I practice. "In convalescence from pneumonia, typhoid fever and other cases, I give it as a liquid, easily absorbed diet. You may use my letter as a reference any way you see fit." Name given by Postum Co.

Mrs. Remethe Myers, of 180 South Tenth St., Ironton, O., says: "I have I have worked hard in my time and have been exposed again and again to changes of weather. It is no wonder my kidneys gave out and I went all to pieces at last. For five years I was worked hard in my time and have been exposed again and again to changes of weather. It is no wonder my kidneys gave out and I went all to pieces at last. For five years I was fading away and finally so weak that for six months I could not get out of the house. I was nervous, restless and sleepless at night, and lame and sore in the morning. Sometimes everything would whirl and blur before me. blotted badly but not near tight clothing, and had to put on shoes two sizes larger than naunt.

A Boston three-year-old, like Mr. Kipling's elephant's child is distinguished by her "inattainable curiosity." Bitter and embarrassing experience, have led her long-suffering mother to recognize this fact. Accordingly, when accidents in the kitchen and the expectation of guests to dine, rendered the purchase of new water glasses necessary, Mrs. S. took her daughter into her confidence cook her daughter into her confidence. "Sarah," she said, "these are new glasses. I bought them at Stearns' yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Robert drove me over to the shop with Jim and the runabout. Robert wore his 'butternut' livery and his brown derby. I paid six dollars for the glasses, and had them sent. Now you know all about them, and I positively forbid you to ask a single question about them when you see them on the table." Sarah wore a subdued look during the process of the meal, and Mrs. S—was beginning to congratulate herself upon the effectiveness of her lesson, when an eager and interested expression came into Sarah's face, and she piped in her shrill but engaging voice: "Mother, what did you do with the old glasses?" AWFUL PSORIASIS 35 YEARS. Terrible Scaly Humor in Patches All Over the Body—Skin Cracked and Bleeding—Cured by Cuticura. "I was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty-five years. It was in patches all over my body. I used three cakes of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Ointment and two bottles of Resolvent. In thirty days I was completely cured, and I think permanently, as it was about five years ago. The psoriasis first made its appearance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the center a spot about the size of a silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry scale of a white silvery appearance and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, although it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. I If the scales remain too long without removing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. I suffered intense itching, worse at night after getting warm in bed, or blood warm by exercise, when it would be almost unbearable. W. M. Chidester, Hutchinson, Kan., April 20, 1905." How Rhodes and Beit Met HOW Rhodes and Belt met. Mr. Rhodes once told a circle of friends after dinner the story of his first meeting with Belt. "I called at Porges' late one evening," he said, "and there was Belt working away as usual. 'Do you never take a rest?' I asked. 'Not often,' he replied. 'Well, what's your game?' said I. What to control the whole diamond output before I am much older' he answered, as he got off his stool. 'That's funny,' I said. 'I have made up my mind to do the same; we had better join hands.' "Join him they did. Unlike Alfred Belt, Cael Rhodes had small patience with arthritical details. Once this characteristic involved him in a difficulty. Pitching a balance sheet into the pile of papers before Belt, he exclaimed desperately. 'Here, you understand things; for heaven's sake tell me how I stand.' Neckties Women Buy.
