THE TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO. 32. The GAMUT of FASHIONS 30 FOR EARLY SPRING WEAR How will we look when we have seriously adopted the "leg o' mutton" sleeve? This is a question we women folks are forced to ask ourselves, for we are surely, and not at all slowly, swaying in that direction, and many of the sleeves of the day-after-to-morrow, if not of to-morrow itself, will be fashioned on the lines of those worn long ago. And speaking of things of yesterday, I am reminded that we are threatened with a revival of the crinoline, but that "wolf" does not frighten me, very greatly! We shall probably wear specially arranged petticats in order that our skirts may hang softly and "fare" in the desired manner but this does not mean a revival of the crinoline; rather, I think, does it mean a revival of that most admirable style of walking costume which was in vogue when Letty Lind first took the London theater-going people by storm: The round skirt, which clears the ground without being at all short, and the skilfully pleated petticats which hold the skirt in correct position and which give an eminently fascinating impression of foamy laces and masses of White Cloth Coat and Skirt. It is trimmed with black and white braid and the vest is made of black and white striped silk. fragile muslins with each movement of the wearer. It is impossible to picture a more satisfactory and becoming style of afternoon walking-dress, for spring and summer wear, than this. I have before me as I write a little water-color portrait of a girl in a garden party dress of the 1882 period. The skirt round and very full at the hem, but over the hips tight-fitting; the material Indian muslin in a delicate shade of coral pink and a series of gathered flounces reaching from the hem to about 12 inches below the waist-line. A number of beautifully made petticoats—fashioned in the style of those worn by "skirt dancers"—held the skirt in correct position, and the cross-over bodice displayed a dainty little chemisette of lace in front. There was a shaped waistband, composed of coral pink and very pale blue satin ribbons, the long ends falling loose at the left side, and altogether the whole dress was charming In Unita There Is Strength. and attractive. I have described it because it represents, fairly correctly, the style of afternoon frock we shall find ourselves wearing this coming summer. All the leading points of the 1882 dress will be the fashionable points of the season—Including the generously flounced petticoats and the round skirt, which suggests, in a subtle way, the presence of a small crinoline! I have been interviewing a number of the new millinery models, and have been struck by the amount of watered and flowered ribbons used on their decoration; in many cases the low crowns are circled by loops of ribbon, each loop of exactly the same size as its fellow, and the whole effect very precise and prim! The ultra-long ostrich feather, for carriage and afternoon wear, is assuming gigantic proportions; it is immensely long, immensely thick, immensely supple, and—immensely costly. One or two of the new models for morning wear reminded me of the quaint old "Dolly Vardon" fashions—the flat brim in front and the upward tilt at the back. One dear little hat of this order was of fine gray felt, the gathered crown composed of flowered taffetas which showed pale blue designs on a pale gray ground, and a length of darker blue satin ribbon crossing the crown and brim and tying behind under a coil of hair. The panel is going to play a very important role in the world of evening dresses this coming season. It will be seen, covered with elaborate embroideries, on the fronts of satin velvet gowns and it will also be seen on the seams of gored skirts—hiding them after the manner of the panels on one of the splendid evening dresses worn by Rejane in "La Savelli." A distinct novelty is a white cloth gown trimmed with pearl-gray suede and embroidered with pearl-gray silks. In our large illustration the tailor-made costume is of blue serge edged with black satin ribbon. The vest is of gray cloth embroidered in blue. The second figure displays a new motor coat made out of dust-covered cloth. The double-breasted vest forms part of the coat. But now to turn to the somber side of life, let us talk briefly of mourning clothes which are ever among the necessities of life, but which should be approached warily. It is a great mistake to buy a number of black clothes in a hurry and, at the moment when grief is uppermost and costume seems a minor matter, conspicuously tiresome. The ready-made black skirt and the ready-made accordion-pleated or tucked black shirt worn with a white lawn collar and a black leather belt should be recognized at once as fulfilling the immediate need. Very new and smart black clothes look out of place at a funeral and it is far better to wear an old black coat than a new one, while an old black hat draped with black lace or black chiffon may do good service for the somber ceremony. The matron who has to go into mourning has to think of indoor clothes, and it is quite possible at many establishments to buy a ready-made teagown costing but a few dollars and worthy of wear. Cashmere for the thrifty, and crepe de Chine for the prodigal should be chosen, and the front and sleeves should be of black chiffon run in large tucks. In all cases it must be realized that the little turn-down collar emphasizes the fact of mourning, while it will make a far more becoming effect than a dress which is entirely black. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1907. 4 Surrounded by 14 acres of valuable land on a prominent height of Anacostia, in the District of Columbia, the Douglass Historical association, to whom the widow of Frederick Douglass bequeathed it, is raising $5,400 to pay off its indebtedness, as they intend to improve it and convert it into a permanent memorial to Douglass and his race. One Gun Missing—The Billion Dollar Congress Adjourns—Gridiron Dinner Echo. Special to The Gazette Special to The Gazette. Washington, D. C. A $1,000,000,000 session of congress has closed. On Monday farewells were spoken and the Fifty-ninth congress joined its predecessor in session. The session was remarkable for three things—the Brownsville debate, the injection of the Japanese question into the proceedings, and the passage of appropriation bills, the total of which will exceed anything heretofore known in the history of the nation. Brownsville particularly held the attention of the American public from the very outset. The debate following the introduction of the Foraker resolutions began on the first day of the session, Dec. 3, and continued in the senate almost constantly until the date of its conclusion. The senator rise to numerous sensational incidents, chief among them being the hot debate between President Roosevelt and Senator Foraker at a Grizzlion club banquet in this city which the senator won so decisively. The public was interested not only because of the inherent importance of the question, but because by many students of political events it was heralded as the first gun in the fight for control of the next Brownsville republican convention. The Senate committee by the senate committee on military affairs on Feb. 4. With the submission of the majority and minority re Surrounded by 14 acres of valuall the Douglass Historical association, to pay off its indebtedness, as they intend his race. ports of the committee at the next session of congress, the storm will undoubtedly break again and the legal and constitutional right of the president to discharge the soldiers as he did, threshed to a "frazile." Senator Spooner's retirement from the upper branch of the congress leaves Senator Foraker without a peer as the "constitutional" leader of that August body. William H. Miller, a corporal of Company C, principal witness before the senate committee on military affairs, exhibited last week a pass, which gave him permission to be absent from the post at Brownsville from noon, August 13, the day of the shootin, until 5 a. m., August 14, and said he went across the river to Matamoros, returning in the evening. Then he went to visit a cousin who lived in Brownsville. At about 11 o'clock he went to a saloon kept by a Mexican. He played "monte" for a half hour or more. The firing then began in the town, and the Mexican closed his doors and windows. Some of the men rushed out and others remained in the place. Miller said he stayed in the saloon until the firing was over. Then he exhibited his pass to the proprietor, and asked him to remember the he was there during all the time the firing was going on. The Mexican said the firing was good and so tesify if necessary. Miller said that he left the saloon after the firing ceased and hurried to the garrison, where he found his company forming, and he immediately fell into line. At the afternoon session Senator Foraker completed the examination of Miller. Senator Overman cross-examined the witness. He brought out the fact that a number of other soldiers, out on pass, went to Matamoros on the 13th, at the same time that Miller did. The witness did not know whether the other soldiers returned to Brownsville before or after he did. David Powell, former corporal of Company D. who had the keys to the gun rack of his company, told of opening the racks after the call to arms. He asserted that he had counted the guns when he took charge and that they had not been disturbed between GAZETTE. that time and the time, when he opened the racks. He also said that when D company turned out at the call every gun was taken from the racks. On cross-examination, it was shown that there were five of D. company's men on pass and their guns were supposed to be in the rack. He thought the men might have returned to the company when the call was sounded and taken their places in the ranks. He was not sure of this, however, and later admitted that he knew one man had not returned. The absence of this man's gun, he thought, might be explained by the fact that the musician of the guard, whose gun was kept in the storehouse, might have taken the extra rifle. He was certain that no gun had been taken from the racks until after he unlocked them, after the call to arms. An Appreciation of Senator Foraker. ```markdown ``` In this interesting political crisis it is refreshing to find one republican—a solitary, commanding figure—out in the open, standing for something and unafraid; a statesman of convictions; of courage to express them, even if they do happen to run counter to the views of the powers that be. The Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker, of Ohio, is that republican. He is the bravest man in public life today—outside the White House. Right or wrong, a to Brownsville on the railroad, he is challenging the company. He challenged it a year ago. We have no doubt he challenges the admiration of the president himself. A manly man respects a manly force. There is scant malice, we regret to say, in the present day trend of republican politics. Call him a reactionary, if you like, but in the United States senate, when it comes to courage. Foraker looms up "the noblest Roman of them all."-Washington (D. C.) Daily Herald.

He testified that he heard the firing in the town and gave the opinion that mixed arms were used.

The railroad committee report out a provision holding the convention had power to insert such a provision, but doubting the advisability because of President Roosevelt. It is generally considered, however, that the constitutional convention must reconsider the section prohibiting intermarriage between Afro-Americans and Indians, recently adopted, or vote it down on final passage. Through the report of the committee and speeches made on the floor of the convention the opponents of the "Jim Crow" feature have taken the position that the constitution will be turned down by the president if a distinction is made between the races. It was upon this to Delegate C. N. Haskell laid greatest emphasis, and through which he was enabled to cause the democratic party to break its antielection pledges on this subject. After Thirty-two Years in "Uncle Sam's" Service, to Resign Muskogee, I. T.—After serving his country nearly 32 years as a United States deputy marshal, Bas Reeves, a Negro who has killed 14 men while under official orders, and has served on civilization's outposts when he was beset by constant perils, will retre. Reeves has served under seven different United States marshals, democrats and republicans, and has been through some terrific fights with out ever getting a scratch himself. With the expiration of the present federal regime upon the advent of statehood, he will, as he says, go to farming for a living, laying down for the plow the sixhoister and the repeating rifle which in his hand, have been potent factors in ridding two territories from the reign of the outlaw, the horsehief and the bootlegger. Reeves is an Arkansan. He is six feet tall, 68 years old, but looks to be only 40. He was never known to show the slightest excitement under any circumstances. To him the one supreme evidence of authority is a "writ." Place a warrant for arrest in his hands and no circumstances can harm him to escape from its commands. The writer describes his rest his own son, charged with wife his own son, charged with wife and place him behind the bars. This was probably the crucial moment in the whole life of the old deputy, but he saw only his duty. He walked into the of- acostia, in the District of Columbia, ass bequeathed it, is raising $5,400 to permanent memorial to Douglass and face of Marshal Bennett and was told that there was a warrant for his son for murder, and asked if he did not want some one else to serve it. "Give me the 'writ.'" was all he said. When Reeves commenced riding as a deputy marshal, Oklahoma and Indian Territory were under the jurisdiction of the famous Fort Smith court and deputies from Fort Smith rode to Fort Reno, Fort Sill and Anadarko for prisoners, a distance of 400 miles. In those days the M. K. & T. railroad running south across the territory, marked the southwestern fringe of civilization. Eighty miles west of Fort Smith was known as the dead line" and when trapped marshal from Fort Smith or Park, Teed the M. K. & T. track he took his life in his hands and he knew it. On nearly every trail would be found posted by the outlaws a small card warning certain deputies that, if they ever crossed the dead line, they would be the cards. Reeves has a post for his special benefit. As in those days such a notice was no idle boast, and many an outlaw has died with his boots on an outlaw has died with his boots on these trails. In the early 80 there were two principal trails that led from Teed. Teed the Indian country and they were frequented by horse thieves, bootleggers and other laws. They were known as the Seminoles and the Pottawattamine trails. The former led by Old Sasakwa and on towards the Sacred Heart mission. The Seminoles hated the Pottawattamine and the two trails, though they practically paralleled each other were never used by the same Indians. It was along these two trails, which also led to Fort Sill, Anadarko and Fort Reno, that most of the encounters with outlaws occurred. There were three principal classes of outlaws, horse thieves and bootleggers. Aided by the Indians and mixed Negro and Indian the white outlaws, who had fled from Texas, Kansas and other states. When ever a deputy marshal left Fort Smith to capture outlaws in the Territory he took with him a wagon, a cook, and usually, a posseman, depending on what particular outlaw he was after --- SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. The government allowed 75 cents per day to feed the prisoners captured and mileage for the distance they traveled at ten cents per mile. A deputy going west was not allowed to arrest a man east of the M., K. & T. railroad, but he had to wait until the return trip. If he caught a man a mile west of the M., K. & T. railroad, however, he was entitled to pay both for feeding and mileage, both ways if he carried him 30 miles west to Fort Sill and back again to Fort Smith. A deputy was allowed 30 miles to make a trip as far west as Fort Sill and return. If he had to stop for high Every deputy was then the fees that took chances on making a living. It was a hazardous business, but the deputies made big money. Reeves says he never made a 30-day trip with our returning with less than $400 worth of fees and expense money. He went to Mud Creek and "brought in" 16 prisoners at one time and the fees amounted to $700, while the total actual expense to him was less than $100. The biggest "killing" in fees he ever made occurred when he captured 17 prisoners in the Commanche country and took them in Fort Smith. His fees for that trip amounted to $300. The trips drew $3 per day, the guard $2 and the cook $2 per month. The deputy paid his own expenses and got all the fees. The deputy rode horseback and ranged far from the supplies and his prison. Each wagon was equipped with a long heavy chain. When a prisoner was captured he was shackled with old fashioned brads. At night all of the prisoners were shackled in pairs and the shackles passed through a ring in the long chain. One end of the chain was locked around the rear axle of the wagon. In this manner one man could handle 30 prisoners if necessary. His only precaution was to prevent the prisoners from getting within reach of his collection of six notebooks during danger periods. No guard the cook was ever allowed to gamble with the prisoners for fear they would lose their six-shooters. The first desire of a prisoner after he is captured and shackled to a chain is to gamble. Reeves has had some close calls. His belt has been shot in two, his hatbirt shot away, a button on his coat knocked off, and the bridge reins in his hand cut by a bullet. Yet he has never been wounded in a fight, though the lives of 14 men have been snuffed out by his rifle and pistol. In not a shudder moment, the days did away at a man until the other fellow started the fight. Reeves says his narrowest escape came in 1884 when he was riding the Seminole whisky trail looking for two white men and two Negroes. He was ambushed by the three Bruner brothers, who knew he was looking for them. They had their riffles "on him" and made him dismount. He showed them the warrants for their arrest and asked them to tell him the day of the month so he could make a record to turn into the government. You are just ready to turn in now, marked one of the outlaws, never knew he was ever asked for a second. That was enough for Reeves, who drew his revolver, killed one of the Bruners, drilled the pistol of a second one who was about to shoot, and killed the third one while Reeves was still holding the gun of the second one, who fired three times ineffectively with the deputy gripping the barrel. Reeves finally struck him over the head with his revolver and killed him. "The bravest man I ever saw," said Reeves, "was Jim Webb, a Mexican, I killed in 1884 near Sacred Heart mission. He was a murderer. "I got in between him and his horse. "He stepped out into the open 500 yards away and commenced shooting with his Winchester. Before I could drop off my horse his first bullet cut a button off my coat and the second cut my bridle in two. I shifted my six-shooter, grabbed my Winchester, ter and fired twice. His dropped and when I picked him up I found that my two bullets had struck him within half an inch of each other. He shot four times, and every time he shot he kept running up closer to me. He was over 400 yards away from me when I killed him." Reeves has been tried for murder, but was never convicted, always proving that he was discharging his official duty. One time he was out with a posseman, so the story goes, when the latter became enraged and threw some hot grease on a favorite dog belonging to Reeves. In the quarrel that followed Reeves killed the posseman. Reeves stood trial for murder on account of it, and it cost him practically all he had ever made as a deputy marshal to keep out of jail for the offense. The old deputy says the worst criminals and the hardest to catch are the Seminole Indians and Negroes. They stick together better, fight quicker and fight to kill. A Seminole on the "scout" is always on horseback, never sleeps until after midnight and gets up with the sun. Every minute he is not asleep he is on his horse. He does not get off to eat. Riding up to a house he says, "Hombux," which he was something to eat. He is given a piece of saddle and bread, and sits in his saddle and eats it watching all the time for an expected foe. Wise Gans! "Joe Gans is poor; he is rich. Gans has gambled away all; he has saved a neat fortune. Gans is 'all in'; he is as good as ever." How conflicting the reports have been concerning the lightweight champion! It must be amusing to him to read all this, for he comes back with this statement: "I want it known that I have made over to my mother every dollar of my savings, and her bank account is now fully $20,000."

As some of these men may not know of this opportunity or may not understand that the government will pay their expenses to and from Washington and while there, to testify and that they will meet friends there who will inform them thoroughly as to their duties, it will help the cause very much; therefore, every friend of the soldiers will please send their addresses to Senator J.

Remit promptly, please Editor Clifford, of the Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press, assures us that West Virginia is in no danger of ever having a "Jim Crow" law. We are glad to know this. Ralph W. Tyler is no more "editorial writer of the Columbus Daily Dispatch" but is a stenographer in the office of the New York Daily Mail. It seems easy these days "to play upon the credulity" of the editor of the N. Y. Age. One result of the Chicago white republicans' counting out of Municipal Judge-Elect F. L. Barnett is the united support of Mayor Dunne for re-election next month by the great mass of Chicago Afro-American republicans, and they are right, too., It was Mayor Dunne who at the request of prominent members of the race there, and after 'promising to do so, refused to preside over, attend or have anything whatever to do with the notorious Tillman "lecture" inflicted on Chicagoans in December last. Chicago Afro-Americans' stand in this matter is worthy of emulation in all similar cases and our people the country over will benefit themselves by remembering this. Sumner's civil rights law needs only a minimum penalty with a provision including the costs of the case, to put a stop to District of Columbia courts making a farce of all cases under the law, won by Afro-American litigants. The usual verdict there of "one cent damages," the costs of the case being saddled upon the victorious plaintiff (Afro-American), will at once disappear and something like justice to winners of civil rights cases obtained. Prof. J. W. Cromwell and other prominent Washington, D. C., Afro-Americans will now proceed to make another elaborate excuse for failure to urge upon the congress such an amendment to the Sumner civil rights law as is needed. "Twas ever thus with our people at the Nation's capital. The Gazette regrets greatly to note the miserable treatment accorded Mr. Edward Daw's application for membership in the local Y. M. C. A., noted at length in one of the daily papers last week. It is, however, no surprise to the readers of this paper, because a year or two ago The Gazette exposed the disgraceful color-line stand of that organization. Trustee Palmer, of the local Y. M. C. A., one of our leading business men, told the editor of The Gazette in the presence of Rev. Dr. Chas. Bundy, just previous to our expose, that he and other trustees of the alleged Christian institution based their disgraceful action against our people on a statement of Booker T. Washington to the effect that Afro-Americans ought not to push their way into public places where they are not wanted. If we followed this advice, we would stay off the street cars and out of restaurants, theaters and every other public place controlled by members, other classes than our own, that were not being conducted for our special benefit. It is now up to the Afro-Americans of this community to beat down the color-line of the local Y. M. C. A., an alleged Christian institution supported by charitably disposed and philanthropic persons of this community, the great majority of whom will not endorse or support so disgraceful a stand as Trustee Palmer and his colleagues inaugurated and maintain. This is the manly thing to do. The fact that there are Afro-Americans in the institution, and that one has been admitted since our expose of a year or two ago, ought to encourage an aggressive effort along the line indicated which can but be successful, and at an early date, too. BEREA SCHOOL MUDDLE. It seems that Kentucky Afro-Americans have permitted themselves to be temporarily robbed of their rights in the Berea, Ky., school by smooth-tongued President Wm. Frost. Where are Doctor E. E. Underwood, of Frankfort, Attorney Albert S. White, of Louisville, our old friend Gaines, of Covington, and the multitude of aggressive, intelligent and loyal Afro-Americans of the "Blue Grass" state, that they have permitted the thing to go as far as it has without even a protest? The legislature of Kentucky has passed a law prohibiting the racial mixing of pupils, with the result that President Frost has made it a school for whites, notwithstanding the fact that the school was founded with the fundamental idea of educating Afro-Americans. A conservative estimate makes the latter the owners of at least half of the Berea school plant, (grounds, buildings, etc.) If one of the classes is to be barred from the school, it should be the whites, because they need such facilities far less than do our people of that state, and indeed the entire country. Therefore it is "high time" leading Afro-Americans of that state were up and doing. Indeed, it has been "high time" for many months. A great wrong is being done our people of Kentucky in the matter of the Berea school. That Chattanooga Lynching Case. Chattanooga, Tenn.—Sheriff Shipp and the mob moblers who are said to have lynched Ed Johnson, were placed on trial here recently, in spite of the effort to have the case tried in Washington. It is said that witnesses would be embarrassed if the case was tried here. Names of members of the mob were made known when J. M. Stonecipher, a government witness, named four, and told of alleged conversations he had with them both before and after the attack. The cans were witnesses recently, "among them being a former cook in Sheriff Shipp's family.

Tuskegee and Audubon Beneficiaries New York City.—The National Association of Audubon Society and Tuskegee, Ala., institute have each just come into possession of $232,770.80 from the residuary estate of Albert Willcox, who died last August at Seabright.

Some of "Our Best Friends." Lonoke, Ark—After a two days' trial a jury in the Lonoko county circuit court returned a verdict of guilty of manslaughter against P. T. Honeycutt, Robert Moss and W. H. Hester, and their punishment at one day, or 12 hours, in the penitentiary. They were charged with killing a child at Walker Lewis' house last year. Honeycutt's boy got into a row with an Afro-American lad three miles east of Austin and was whipped. The defendants went to Lewis' residence, shot into the house and killed the child. The criminals are all "prominent" white brutes and live at Austin. Given a Good Beating Newport, R. I.—A petty officer of the training station got on a car Feb 18, on which there was an Afro-American. The officer was a southerner and he told the conductor he would not ride with a "n—" The conductor told him that they had no such foolishness up here. Then the officer went to the man and told him to get off. And the officer and of course the officer struck back. Then the Afro-American knocked him down, and beat him all over the car floor. The conductor was very busy looking the other way. Damaging Soldier Testimony. San Antonio, Tex.—In the Penrose court-martial, Lieut. George W. Lawrason testified last week under cross-examination that when he inspected the guns on the morning after the "shooting up" of Browasville, he found seven men with guns that had evidently been in use. "At an order from Maj. Penrose, who just then came up," said Lieut. Lawrason, "I went off with seven men, and seven men and guns to Penrose and a Lyon for further inspection." \ heen court adjourned Lieut. Lawrason was still on the stand. Fight for Your Rights! New Orleans, La—Harry Smith, an Afro-American mail carrier, who was ordered by the conductor of a Henry Clay street car here to take a seat in the "Jim Crow" section, refused to do so, on the ground that he was in an U.S. uniform and that it protected him in his rights. After several ineffectual attempts to induce Smith to move, the conductor abandoned the attempt and Smith rode to his destination. Several white passengers in the meantime were compelled to stand. Good for Smith! More Truth We must not forget that it was the white fathers and grandfathers of the present race of blacks who made it their business to debauch black women. Is there not something in heredity? Was there ever before such an outrage on common decency and common sense as the present crusade against the blacks in the face of the white? Is there a reason THE SOUTH HAVE MADE OF THE NEGROES JUST WHAT THEY ARE—"To-Morrow" Magazine. Public Debt Compared. The island of Jamaica, West Indies, with an area of only 4,400 square miles and a population of 800,000 people, carries a public debt of nearly $15,000,000, while Liberia, Africa, with an area of 49,000 square miles and a population of nearly 2,000,000, carries a public debt of nearly 600,000. By this it would not seem that Liberia was in such an awful bad fix financially. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1907. FORGIVE AND FORGET. There's hardly a day goes by, I suppose. But some one or other treads on our toes. Says or does something we think most unkind: But this is the very best plan you will find— Just to go calmly on—not to fume or to fret. And to make up our minds to forgive and forget. Why dwell upon slights that we meet day by day? Why bother our heads about what people say? So long as the tales which they tell are untrue. The wiser plan far, both for me and for you. Is to go straight ahead—not to grumble or fret. But make up our minds to forgive and forget. Are we always careful in passing along? Do we never jostle in life's busy throng? No hasty word speak? No friend ever slight? Do always the thing that is honest and right? Ah not. We surely have sad need to fret. Should those we love never forgive and forget. OHIO NEWS. (Continued From First Page.) purchased millinery goods for her parlor opening at 508 E.

Quiet Cynicism, or Good Honest Row —Which Is the Better? "Most men," the man of experience, "think it must be awfully nice to have a wife who takes things as coolly as Dave Potter's wife takes them; but others, more discriminating, prefer a good honest row to her style of quiet cynicism. The way she behaved the other day when she found a letter in Dave's pocket from a girl is an example of her method. "I don't see," wrote this girl, 'how on earth I can ever live without you.' "Dave's wife read that gush, and a lot more just like it, without ever turning a hair. "Well," she said, quietly, 'that girl is a fool. If she knew you as well as I do she would be wondering how on earth she could ever live with you.' "And that, in the opinion of the discriminating few, cuts a whole lot deeper than a common, everyday rumpus." PREPARE THIS YOURSELF. Tells How to Make the Best Blood Tonic at Home. For those who have any form of blood disorders; who want new, rich blood and plenty of it, try this: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. Any good pharmacy can supply the ingredients at small cost. This is the prescription which, when made up, is called "The Vegetable Treatment;" by others, the "Cyclone Blood Purifier." It acts gently and certainly does wonders for some people who are sickly, weak and out of sorts, and is known to relieve serious, long-standing cases of rheumatism and chronic backache quickly. Make some up and try it. PENMANSHIP A FINE ART. Typewriting Has Not Driven Hand Work from the Field. There is a renaissance in penmanship, despite the speedy comforts of the typewriters. Ten years ago it probably would not have occurred to anyone to show a page of manuscript at any exhibition; to-day pages or books of script form a feature of every show which takes to itself the name of arts and crafts. Some of the work is in Roman capitals, but the form of letter usually adopted is the unicell or half-unicell. Apparently all the writers have founded themselves in these models. Within these last few years not only has the art attracted a good deal of attention, but it has become quite the rage, so that in some circles it creates no more surprise now to learn that an amateur is taking lessons in script than it would have done some years back to be told that he or she had taken to poker work. From one viewpoint it is difficult to say where writing ends and illustration begins, but in the recent revival the two arts naturally have gone hand in hand, the scribe and the illuminator are not necessarily one and the same person. Some of the illuminations show most elaborate and minute figure decoration, so delicate in coloring and so refined in treatment that it challenges comparison with the best of old work.

MORE BOXES OF GOLD And Many Greenbacks. 225 boxes of Gold and Greenbacks will be sent to persons who write the most interesting and truthful letters of experience on the following topics: 1. How have you been affected by coffee drinking and by changing from coffee to Postum. 2. Give name and account of one or more coffee drinkers who have been hurt by it and have been induced to quit and use Postum. 3. Do you know any one who has been driven away from Postum because it came to the table weak and characterless at the first trial? 4. Did you set such a person right regarding the easy way to make it clear, black, and with a snappy, rich taste? 5. Have you ever found a better way to make it than to use four heaping teaspoonfuls to the pint of water, let stand on stove until real boiling begins, and beginning at that time when actual boiling starts, boil full 15 minutes more to extract the flavor and food value. (A piece of butter the size of a pea will prevent boiling over.) This contest is confined to those who have used Postum prior to the date of this advertisement. Be honest and truthful, don't write poetry or fanciful letters, just plain, truthful statements. Contest will close June 1st, 1907, and no letters received after that date will be admitted. Examinations of letters will be made by three judges, not members of the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd. Their decisions will be fair and final, and a neat little box containing a $10 gold piece sent to each of the five writers of the most interesting letters, a box containing a $5 gold piece to each of the 20 next best, a $2 greenback to each of the 100 next best, and a $1 greenback to each of the 200 next best, making cash prizes distributed to 325 persons. Every friend of Postum is urged to write and each letter will be held in high esteem by the company, as an evidence of such friendship, while the little boxes of gold and envelopes of money will reach many modest writers whose plain and sensible letters contain the facts desired, although the sender may have but small faith in winning at the time of writing. Talk this subject over with your friends and see how many among you can win prizes. It is a good, honest competition and in the best kind of a cause, and costs the competitors absolutely nothing. Address your letter to the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich., writing your own name and address clearly. Our Pattern Department LADIES' FITTED WAIST LINING. 5593.

An Austrian physician has called attention to the value of uncooked eggs as food for growing children. Of all the substances found in the animal organism albumen seems to be the one most directly concerned with the phenomena of growth and development. Its value as a food is correspondingly great and is not sufficiently appreciated. In the artificial feeding of children this should be borne in mind. The white of the raw egg is the most available form in which we can find albumen and it should be used in the preparation of most of the foods for children. Free albumen is one of the most easily digested substances and is rapidly made use of by the muscle cells. It is a valuable food for adults as well as for infants. Labouchere Writes of Career Henry Labouchere, the stormy petrel editor of London Truth, has written a review of its 31 years of existence. The publication carries the motto, "Cultures Veritas Fraudis in.ilc" and the editor devotes space to its legal experience in exposing fraud. Of all the actions brought against the paper in that time only four have resulted in damages. Of these one turned upon the precise position of a village pump, "as to which." Mr. Labouchere dryly observes, "I was mised to trusting to the evidence of two beneficed clergymen—a lesson which I have always remembered to my profit." Because of putting it on the wrong side of the street he had to pay $500 in damages and much more in costs. Costly Legislation. It costs much money to get a piece of legislation through the British parliament. A certain railway once proposed a scheme for a part of the country where their undertaking would be a godsend to every enterprise and contribute to the wealth of a whole nation. The bill ought to have gone through with almost no outlay of money. But to get that bill through parliament cost the sum of $2,000,000 before ever a sod was turned or a brick laid. The Pressing Need.

WHAT WESTERN CANADA DOES Satisfactory Yields of Wheat and Good Prices. Dundurn, Sask., Sept. 30, 1906. Mr. W. H. Rogers, Canadian Government Agent, Indianapolis, Ind. My Dear Sir: When you were at our place in July I promised to write you what my north quarter mads per acre. You will remember it was all sown to wheat. Well, I finished threshing yesterday and received from it an average of 43% bushels per acre—testing 64½ pounds per stroked bushel. The wheat is the best sample I have ever raised—so uniform and even in size. You may know it was a good sample when I tell you that I have already sold 2,000 bushels of it for seed to my neighbors. This year has been my best effort in farming during my life. My wheat totaled 9,280 bushels and my oats nearly 5,000. If you remember I pointed out to you a half section lying just west of our house and joining my upper quarter on the south, which I said I should have in order to make one of the best farms in western Canada. I am very glad to be able to tell you that I now own that half section. My ambition now is to be able to market 20,000 bushels of wheat next year. If some of those good, honest Hoosiers could have been with me during the last two weeks and could have seen the golden grain rushing down the spout into my wagon and then could have seen it in great piles in my granaries, I feel sure they would have been forced to acknowledge there is no better farming country in the world than this. I may just say that I have done all my farming with eight head of horses and one hired man except during harvest and threshing. This year I proved to my neighbor that the Hoosiers, when once "woke up," can raise grain equal to the best Minnesota farmers. His best yield was 42½ bushels per acre, so you see "old Indiana" is holding the ribbon this year.

Medical men are coming round to the view that it is the personal history that is of primary importance, or, in other words, that a man's own manner of life, his record of health, and his circumstances should be more carefully considered than the illnesses that his ancestors died of. Dr. Rabagliatt, a medical examiner for insurance companies, who is well known in the profession which he adorns, and of high repute in the north of England, has devoted much thought to this question of heredity from a life insurance point of view. In his opinion it is not so much disease that is transmitted from one generation to another, but organization, or "humanity," as he expresses it. Any member of the human family may suffer from any disease to which humanity is subject, and when an individual so suffers it is the cause of the aliment that must be inquired into. Exposure to this or that set of conditions brings varying results. If the body is exposed to one set of conditions it will take on gout; if to another, consumption; if to a third, cancer; and so on. The foundation of pride is the wish to respect one's self, whatever others may think; the mainspring of vanity is the craving for the admiration of others, no matter at what cost to one's self-respect—F. Marton Crawford. COFFEE THRESHED HER. 15 Long Years. "For over fifteen years," writes a patient, hopeful little ills. woman, "while a coffee drinker, I suffered from Spinal Irritation and Nervous trouble. I was treated by good physicians, but did not get much relief. I never suspected that coffee might be aggravating my condition. I was downhearted and discouraged, but prayed daily that I might find something to help me. "Several years ago while at a friend's house, I drank a cup of Postum and thought I had never tasted anything more delicious. "From that time on I used Postum instead of coffee, and soon began to improve in health, so that now I can walk half a dozen blocks or more with ease, and do many other things that I never thought I would be able to do again in this world. "My appetite is good, I sleep well, and find life worth living, indeed. A lady of my acquaintance said she did not like Postum, it was so weak and tasteless. "I explained to her the difference when it is made right—boiled accord ing to directions. She was glad to know this because coffee did not agree with her.

The thousands of women who suffer backache, languor, urinary disorders backache, languor, urinary disorders and other kidney lills, will find comfort in the words of Mrs. Jane Farrell, of 606 Ocean Ave., Jersey City, N.J. who says: "I reiterate all I have said before in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills. I had been having heavy backaches, and my general health was affected when I began using them. My feet were swollen, my eyes puffed, and dizzy spells were frequent. Kidney action was irregular and the secretions highly colored. To-day, however, I am a well woman, and I am confident that Doan's Kidney Pills have made me so, and are keeping me well."

There are a great many very competent treatises telling you how to build your fire, pitch your tent and all the rest of it. I have never seen described the woodman's method of using a blanket, however. Lie flat on your back. Spread the blanket over you. Now raise your legs rigid from the hips, the blanket, of course, draping first one edge under your legs, then first one edge under your legs, right to left, then the second edge under from left to right, and over the first edge. Lower your legs, wrap up your shoulders and go to sleep. If you roll over one edge will unwind but the other will tighten—Stewart Edward White in Outing. CHILDREN TORTURED. Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema —Boy Tortured by Poison Oak— Both Cured by Cuticura. "Last year, after having my little girl treated by a very prominent physician for an obstinate case of eczema, I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physician's prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble. "In July of this year a little boy in our family poisoned his hands and arms with poison oak, and in twenty-four hours his hands and arms were a mass of torturing sores. We used only the Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and anointing them with the Cuticura Ointment, and then gave him the Cuticura Resolvent. In about three weeks his hands and arms healed up. So we have lots of cause for feeling grateful for the Cuticura Remedies. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are a valuable household standby, living as we do twelve miles from a doctor. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas, Fairmont, Walden's Ridge, Tenn. Oct. 13, 1905." Where It Hurt Most "Young gentlemen," said the college president, notwithstanding the fact that he was addressing the students, "young gentlemen, hazing must be stopped and stopped at once. It has injured the college more than any of you ever could guess. Only last week a gentleman declined to give us $1,000,000 because there was so much hazing. Hazing is a bad thing financially." "How about morally?" asked the student. "Aw aw, really, there may be something in that, but—aw—the point has never come up, and I—aw—am not prepared to answer. But the point is worth considering."—Chicago Journal Proof of Merit. The proof of the merits of a plaster is the cures it effects, and the voluntary testimonials of those who have used Allcock's Plasters during the past sixty years is unimpeachable evidence of their superiority and should convince the most skeptical. Self-praise is no recommendation, but certificates from those who have used them are. Allcock's are the original and genuine porous plasters and have never been equaled by those who have sought to trade upon their reputation by making plasters with holes in them.
