THE TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 6. The Dictates of Tashion This is the day of the froly frock and also the day of the heavy linen coat and skirt costume, and as for silk, the latter fabric is made up in almost every sort of frock, simple or elaborate. Silks vary so in every respect save their material that in no other fabric, perhaps, is so great variety to be found. From the thinnest of Indias and Chinas to the heavy faille, silken robes run a long gamut, and whether plain, figured, chine or brocaded, they may be either heavy or light in weight as in coloring. Taffeta is a silk always worn. Of recent years the improvements in this silk have been so great that even the woman of most modest means may essay a taffeta gown without fear of its cracking as it hangs in the closet. The chifon weaves are soft and supple, and while it must be admitted that the chances are slim for air getting through its close weave, yet it is thin and cool to the touch and weighs almost nothing. The black and white striped cloths in the very light weights, or the volles, and also the liberty satins, make up most effectively. The blue serges for traveling and hackabout wear must not be overlooked. Many severe tailor-mades in blue serge with no other ornament except a few rows of stitching are among the smartest of the traveling costumes in evidence in the smart restaurants and on the avenue and at the railway stations. The chic serge with its perfect lines is as remote from the cheap copy as diamonds from glass. If a woman is so circumstanced as not to be able to afford the former, let her choose some other material. The long pongee or rajah traveling coats for train and motor wear are indispensable, and the woman with a small income will find one invaluable. Coming from the neck to the hem of the gown, they protect and conceal a thin frock suitable for luncheon or theater wear, and being light and thin, are not cumbersome to have thrown over one's arm, or temporarily stored away, and as for mussing, they do not muss easily, and when they do a warm iron repairs damage. The heavier rajahs are more satisfactory than pongees, as they do not muss so readily nor spot and crinkle when wet, and anyone addicted to motoring will sometimes get caught in the rain. Striped materials have been so much the vogue the past spring and also this summer in the ready-made coat costumes that there is little proptect of their being smart for autumn wear. The shepherds' plaids, however, will, as for some years past, be worn by modish women. This particular plaid or check has for several years been more or less worn by well-dressed women, although the great body of women prefer other costume material. This is, probably because checked clothes are worn for outdoor, travelling and formal costume generally by the smart woman, as well as sometimes in elaborate gowns for formal wear, while her poorer sister must make one or two costumes take the place of the dozen of the woman of wealth, and so selects fabrics that properly make will look well when she makes a morning call, or attends an afternoon tea; one that is suitable for shopping and for the theater, too. Really, no hard and fast lines can well be laid down in these matters, and the good judgment and taste of the individual, or the reverse, come into play when choosing gowns. It is rather deplorable that the first choice of the multitude of women of In Union There Is Strength. small means is that of black for cheap frocks. Black material for gowns should be of the best, else it looks like rags. Blues, grays, and other colors are far better. Grays are a safe selection in almost anything. Brownies are not only far more trying unless the proper tones are selected, but are not so durable in the matter of wear or of fading. These matters, of course, do not count with the woman of means, but the poor woman cannot afford to overlook such facts. As to the three frocks shown in our large picture, No. 1 is of pale gray volle with hems and collar of pale A AN ORIGINAL DESIGN. White Cloth Trimmed with White Military Braid and Buttons—White Straw Hat Shaded Green Satin Ribbon. gray cloth, and the gray crinoline hat is covered with rushes of white tulle hemmed with gray ribbon. No. 2 is a lilac-tinted muslin spotted with white, with a lace vest outlined with a fichu of muslin; and crowned with a white chip hat lined with black and trimmed with white ostrich feathers, it says the last word of dainty elegance. But no mere dress may have a last word—that's woman's privilege for all time, and I'll express mine—for the moment—in admiration of that last sketch of a frock of lavender-blue tussore, with bands of ecru lawn embroidery piped with purple silk, the purple hat which completes it bearing purple plumes with becoming grace. Two Views of Drink "I ain' had a nip fo' s much' s a half houh," remarked the Kentucky Colonel when he and Edie came down to take dinner with the woman. "Now, I suppose you haven't got a little something about the house in a bottle, have you, to drink?" "No," said the woman, "I haven't. I never keep anything of the sort about the house. I'm afraid of drinking it." "I'd hate to think of keepin' anythin' of the sort about the house without drinkin' it," said the Colonel CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1907. THAT PERCY ARTICLE That So Infatuated President Roosevelt That He Asked Its Publication in a Leading Magazine. Boston. Mass. — The following is from a recent issue of The Guardian, a local race advocate: One Leroy Percy, a Mississippi lawyer, in a speech before the State Bar association at Vicksburg. Miss, emitted a few platitudes on the problem which pleased the president so much that he asked the editor of the Outlook to reproduce them. One passage from the remarkable deliverance will suffice to show the size of Mr. Percy's think-tank and the quality of the material it contains. He says: "Don't drive the Negro out, but educate him, equip him, let him go as he will taking his troubles to other climes in his neighborhood, immigrants you can get, but filling it with white men possessing the potentialities of citizenship whose children or whose children's children some day in the future will help us bear the burdens, help us solve the problems of government. THIS the NEGRO CAN NEVER DO. I do not the industry, the development which has been enacted in the city, but it has NOT been through or by reason of the Negro, it has seen DESPITE HIM. We have developed just where the white man has done the work, and just in proportion to the work done by him. The souls must not be dependent for its prosperity, there is no enough of him, and what there is NOT GOOD ENOUGH." The editors of the Outlook, introducing Mr. Percy to their readers say, President Roosevelt has sent the editors of the Outlook the following article, etc. "In his judgment the way northerners can best help is by doing all they can to back up SUCH A MA as Mr. Percy in any way that would be effective." The article is very imminating and discovers the statesman like qualities of this distinguished Mr. Percy the president commends. Mr. Percy narrow views confirm all too plain the truth of what Martin R. DeLaney more than 50 years ago said in an ad dress on "The International policy of the World toward the African Race, which is too long to quote here. But I commend to the reading of those it tered in the subject. The Life of Delaney, by Rollin' Lee and Shep cys, at all, of whom discover a certain peculiar brand of selfishness and viciousness combined when discussing the Negro problem, so called, stands the everlasting question: "Will not the Lord of all the earth do justice to all of us?" This question, and it is: YES. All the Dixons, Tillmans, Vardamans, Percys, etc, that now exist, or who may exist in the next twenty centuries, cannot alter the decree of Providence with respect to the destiny of the Negro on this continent. The white man can dump all of the scum of Europe on this soil if he so wills, in the hope that by so doing the Negro will become an industrial and political nonentity. By so doing the discovered long before his dream of discovering a prey or republic is realized that the Lord of all the earth which includes America, intends to, and will do right, whenever his stewards or those posing as such fall in their duties. When Treating the Brownsville Affair and Senator Foraker's Great Work. Barnesville, O.-Rev. J. Allen Bynoe, a graduate of Wilberforce university last June, now pastor of the A. M. E. church here, said in his commencement address: "In the commonwealth one poor, defenceless class of citizens who have felled its forests, built in cities, and made its wilder, scared, disloyal as the rose, is ostrateised, disloyal as the affair, unprotected in their social, political and civil rights, severely oppressed and cruelly treated. "The unkindest cut of all" was but recently made by the president of the nation, when he unceremoniously, humiliatingly and "without honor," discharged the Twenty-fifth infantry—companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry—for her bravery, battle-scarred veterans of many a hard fought conflict, patriots woose very hearts pulsate with love and devotion for their country's welfare, loyal brave and true. Is there no remedy? Is there no voice he heard in their defense? Is there no needers in the army, like the wrong? Yes, the liberty-loving American has a conscience, and that conscience has stirred the bold, fearless, intrepid, indomitable and astute lawyer and congressman, Senator J. B. Foraker, a modern Akron who has been out in defense of the defended hero in like the defended Tekoa" he has with clarkson tones boldly denounced the injustice and wrong perpetrated upon citizens of the republic by the nation's chief executive. "All honor to Ohio's son, He has already the struggle won; His cause is just, it must prevail, Our prayers are with him, he cannot "As I gaze upon his princely form, as I mark his statesman-like mien, as I recall the almort miraculous victories he has achieved politically in the past, contending practically alone for justice to the oppressed, championing the cause of the despised and helpless, wedding as it were, a ray of light over the loss of his less favored brethren. I am wary of claim: Hall to the hero, the champion of civil and political rights, the conserver of the interests of his constituents, the man born in due time to be a potent factor in shaping the destiny of this American republic.

ACTIVE FOR FORAKER! Is the Only Afro-American Member of the Ohio Republican Executive Committee. Columbus O.—Hon. W. H. Copeland, former member of the house of representatives from (Cincinnati) Hamilton county, member of the state republican executive committee, and for years a deputy sheriff of Hamilton county, was in Columbus a week recently attending the Masonic conclave. He is a strong advocate of Senator Former, and during his stay here was active in the interest of the senator, stirring our people to greater activity, for they were already enthusi la l o n f f u t a r i a o Hon.

Both sides will be suspicious of him, says and. KLAVER TELLS THE TRUTH er a month spent in traveling Obio, I am convinced that Sena Foraker can carry the state against Secretary Taft for any office he wants, whether it is the presidency or something else", declared Jacot (ca)a lawyer who was a globally last night. "I am not what you might call a Foraker man, for I opposed him in favor of Hanna, but I am for him in the present factional fight, and I am sure that the people of the state also are. I'll grant the politi cans and office-holders are not enthu stastic Foraker men, but the working people of the state are degrees and old soldiers. I made it my duty to to make careful inquiry among the people—the voters—in*counties and towns where Foraker is said to lack strength, and when I asked the disap pointed politicians and office holders how the people stood they declared emphatically that Foraker was ready for the tenure of the politician, but when went to the office, masses—the unheathening and all most unanimously said they would support Foraker against the field. "Taft is exceedingly unpopular with the labor unions because of his decisions when he was on the bench. The member of the state central committee from the Eighteenth district who voted against him at the recent voting afterwards came out in a signed interview in which he said that his vote reflected the sentiment of his district, and I know he was right, for I went there myself and found nearly everybody for the senator. It has been customary for the Taft support group to favor business men are opposed to Foraker, but I found hundreds of them who told me that they would back Foraker against any other candidate. All this pro-Taft tak comes from office-holders under the general government and disappointed politicians who are ready to vote for Foraker, hope that they will profit by supporting him. Don't believe anybody who tells you that Ohio is for Taft; it is still loyal to Foraker."—Washington (D. C.) Post. TWO OHIOANS [From The New York Sun.] Every new utterance of Senator Foraker reveals his fine courage and intelligence. He speaks as he voted in the senate, absolutely according to his opinion and without fear of the results. If Mr. Roosevelt, the country and the constitution under his feet, for the Senator, Mr. Roosevelt is welcome. A senator foraker will continue to be a frank critic, a fair and honest opponent and give no counter's counsel. When the feast of unreason is over his wisdom will be as evident to the majority as his scorn of personal consequences now is to all. The Hon William Howard Taft had once best still have, latent and suspended, a courage as noble and an intelligence as penetrating as Senator Foraker's. That was before the generous loyalty of his nature had condemned or permitted him to become a pipe for another man's fingers to sound, a masque through which to declare another man's views. Observe that in his interview of Honor Robert F. one friend is getting all the glory; the other is rapidly losing his. Such are the unequal rewards of a romantic attachment.

ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY EXONERATION AND RE-INSTATEMENT OF SOLDIERS, FEDERAL AID TO EDUCATION, REDUCTION OF REPRESENTATION, FREE BALLOT, AND FEDERAL LAW FORBIDDING EXCLUSION OF ANY PERSON FROM INTERSTATE CAR ON ACCOUNT OF RACE OR COLOR DEMANDED-PRES. ROOSEVELT BLAMED FOR SPREAD. OF DISFRANCHISEMENT BY EXAMPLE HE SETS. For the third time the Niagara Movement in annual meeting (recently at Boston) appeals to the world and to America. This has been a year of wrong and discrimination. There sits today in the governor's chair of a sovereign southern commonwealth a man stained with the blood of innocent black workingmen, who fell in the Atlanta massacre, and whose unavenged death cries to God for justice. What answer does Georgia return? The fraudulent disfranchisement of her citizens, and with the echo of her fell attack on democracy sound the eager voices of a great tribunal dedicated to industrial freedom, which has in many cases made him famous? The exhumation made him the laver and the nasty Jim-Crow car. And why not? Has not the white in the White House set them a brave example by bowing before the brown and armed dignity of Japan, and swaggering roughshod over the helpless black regiment whose bravery made him famous? The laver and the nasty Jim-Crow car. And why not? Has not the less civilized parts of our country follow this lead and spread the mockery of the republican government in the south? But we will not follow. We are Americans. We believe in this land. We cannot silent the violence of our people, we call for repentance, reparation, reconsecration to the ideals of Washington, Jefferson and our own Hamilton. We demand freedom from labor peonage. We demand a free and fair ballot. We demand the denial of national representation to the states who deny the rights of citizens. We demand federal legislation forbidding exclusion from employment, and finally, in God's name, we ask justice, and not only do we ask justice, but we also ask deeds. We call on the 500,000 free black voters of the north. Use your ballots to defeat Theodore Roosevelt, William Taft or any man named by the present political dictatorship. Better vote for avowed enemies than for friends. But, better still, vote with him. But with him, we are members that the cause of labor is the cause of black men, and the black man's cause is labor's own. We are not discouraged. We thank God for life and health and property, for shade and shine, and above all for the opportunity in the twentieth century of Jesus Christ to fight the battles in the very van of His army. Help his brothers, for the victory which lingers must and shall prevail. ALL THE WAY FROM TEXAS Diboll, Tex., Sept. 2, 1907.—Dear Brother Editor: Texas Negroes are waking up, especially the common voters and all that believe in a square deal, and we are rallying to Prof. F. J. Richardson. He is the man that deserves much credit for his bold and fearless effort to uplift the down-trodden and we are calling for a state meeting to be held at some of the Negroes, the most racial hatred does not exist. Foraker, we are standing pat and are calling for all the Negroes in the state of Texas that have a vote and we are advising all to pay their taxes, as there is much talk about their not paying their taxes. We highly endorse The Gazette and all its teachings, and this means a united action among: Afro-Americans. We of Texas are among the hell-hounds of prejudice and we are going to unite in the fight against the Negroes. In my next letter I will tell the people the mistake that has been made by our southern leaders. Texas must have a new leader, a thing that all states should have. What became of the "leaders" when those 167 men were discharged? It seemed that they held closed their mouths like Booker Washington and took no action. Only some of our bold and fearless leaders and editors spoke out like MEN, as the great B. T. Washington? I am. Yours for the race. ALONZO THOMPSON. 14th Senatorial District Committee-man of the Afro-American League. "THE BLACK BATTALION." Akron, O.-On Friday evening, Sept. 13, Hon. Harry C. Smith, of Cleveland, thrice a member of the Ohio legislature, and for twenty-five years editor of the Cleveland Gazette, will lecture at True Reformers' hall, So. Howard street. Mr. Smith is chairman of the executive committee and head of the Ohio Afro-American league, and a well-known public speaker and lecturer. His theme here, the Brownies, Tex. riot, is one of surpassing interest because he tells what happened in the past by a mass of important information relative that has never appeared in the newspapers and which has been gathered from the sworn testimony of credible witnesses given before the various officers sent by the war department to collect it for the government, and from that taken by the senate committee on military affairs which was authorized to examine witnesses by the now famous Foraker senate chairman, and he delivered his famous lecture on the Riot Battalion" or the Brownies in nearly all the principal cities and many others of the state since March 1 to thousands upon thousands of people, in some cases a second and SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. third time, so absorbingly interesting is it. True Reformers' hall will surely be crowded on the evening of the 18th of month to hear him.

Glmere, D.D., presiding elder of the Springfield district of the A. M. E. church, was in the city the first of the week and called on The Gazette, and we found that as usual Dr. Glmere held some very vigorous conferences, he gave several conference matters. Especially is he earnestly interested in the rank and file ministers. His proposition to make it binding upon churches to the extent of giving necessary security for unpaid salaries is eminently right and proper, and cannot but endear him to the large number of hard work in whose interests he is soably laboring. He is advanced thinker on matters of church regulation and direction that ought to be incorporated in the laws of the church in the near future. The district conference at Mechanicsburg heartily endorsed his ideas at its session. Glmere speaks highly of the prosperous slave administration of the Rt. Rev. W. B. Derrick, D.D., bishop of this Episcopal district of the church, and feels that several very important public interests require his (the bishop's) return and supervision for another term of years. Dr. Glmere is in attendance at Columbus this week, and will be his own conference at Lima on Sept. 11. Olean, N. Y., News. The East Side 20th Century orchestra concert for Rev.

There was an antenuptial agreement by which Mrs. Warner agreed to take $500 a year while her husband lived and $10,000 when he died.

All Afro-American voters in Ward 14 of the city "Boss" Bill Crawford's collar should promptly sign J. Clarence Brown's candidacy petition. It certainly is high time we were having a member of the city council from that ward particularly. Mr. David Mason, of Chicago, a native Clevelander, was in the city several days of the past week with old friends and acquaintances. He was Thursday for Caspolis, Mich. to join his wife and spend several days on the lakes fishing. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1907. The Cleveland News is still flaunting the mongrel term "nigger" in the faces of those of our people, foolish enough to take it. Have self-respect and race pride enough to keep such dirty, contemptible sheets out of your hands and homes. They pollute them. Dr. and Mrs. F. A. Dale, two lady teachers from the south, visitors in the city, one a guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. K. Hodges, of Edwards avenue, Mr. R. K.

Glimere, presiding elder of the Springfield district, spent a few days at home preparing for conference. He is the picture of health and speaks in the highest terms of his district and the pastors.

For further information The Original Hair Growers We Grew Our Hair, Now Let Us Grow Yours With 'PORO' TRADE MARK (Registered) KINK·NE Most Wonderful Discovery ever made for curly, kinky and knotty hair. Makes hair grow long, straight, soft and silky; cures dandruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the hair. Kink-ine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberts, a famous English chemist, who has made a study of the scalp of colored people for the past 30 years, and who, after much time and experience, has prepared this great tonic for the colored people. This chemist says that his experience and study have taught him that the scalp of the colored people requires a special treatment and after laboring and testing these many years he has discovered the greatest REMEDY the WORLD has ever known for the HAIR of colored people. KINK-INE will make the hair GROW from one to three inches per month, if the directions and instructions are carefully followed out. We have many cases on record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not hesitate when we make these claims. KINK-INE is the only safe preparation in the world that is guaranteed to make the hair straight and make dry hair smooth and stop it from breaking off and falling out; takes out all the kinks and knots, cures dandruff, makes the hair soft and silky, and by nourishing the roots gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to natural color. Read what Miss Elizabeth Jones of Chicago says of KINK-INE: "My hair was not more than three inches long when I commenced to use Kink-ine, six months ago. I have used it steadily since that date and it has grown on an average of two inches each month and it is now more than fifteen inches long. Besides, my hair has become almost straight and I fully believe by the end of the year I will have the most beautiful head of hair of any colored lady in the world." SPECIAL OFFER—To prove the quality and superiority of our goods over all others, we will sell one full-size bottle of Kink-ine, price 25 cents, one cake of Kink-ine Soap, the best Shampoo and Tofilet Soap in the world, price 25 cents, both for only 50 cents, or six bottles and six cakes of soap for $3.00.

Marlon Crawford, the famous novelist: "Mr. Crawford went to school," he said, "in Concord, and one day he was taken to call at a Concord clergyman's. "The clergyman had a missionary box on his drawing room table, and, time hanging heavily on the boy's hands, he amused himself with trying whether a silver, dollar—it was all the money he had in the world, and he had converted it into that gigantic coin for safety—would go into the silt in the box's top. "It was a close fit, but unfortunately it did go, and the coin slipped out of the embryo author's fingers. There was a terrible crash of silver falling among the coppers—and then the boy, as the novelists say, 'knew no more.' "When he came to himself he found 't he clergyman and his family in raptures over his generosity." 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 polson oak, and in twenty-four hours his hands and arms were a mass of torturing sorres. We used only the Cuticura Remedies, and in about three weeks his hands and arms healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas, Fairmont, Walden's Ridge Tenn., Oct. 13, 1905." Jerome on Colored Evidence. District Attorney Jerome, of New York, said one day of a piece of suspicious evidence: "It is evidence that has been tampered with, colored. It is like the lady's report of her physician's prescription. "A lady one day in July visited her physician. The man examined her and said: "Madam, you are only a little run down. You need frequent baths and plenty of fresh air, and I advise you to dress in the coolest, most comfortable clothes—nothing stiff or formal." "When she got home her husband asked her what the physician had said. The lady replied: "He said I must go to the seashore, do plenty of automobilling, and get some new summer gowns." Not Entire The aeroaut, after painfully extricating himself from the wrecked balloon, limped to the nearest farmhouse. "Madam," he said to the woman who answered his knock, "can you accommodate with a night's lodging a balloonist who has come to grief? "I'd be glad to," she hesitated, "but you are an entire stranger to—" "Not an entire one," he interrupted, with some acerbity. "For I have left my left ear, three teeth, and certain portions of my nose back there with the ruined car." Colleges Undesirable Fire Risks Colleges are now regarded as rather undesirable insurance risks, and it is probable that the rate will be generally increased. In 18 years 784 fire have occurred in college buildings, entailing a loss of $10,500,000 in money and a heavy loss of life. This makes the average money loss over $13,000. Pointed Conversation. "Yes, going away. But before I go I have something to say to you." "Something to say to me, little wife?" "Yes, something to say to you. Don't send me any poker stories in lieu of the weekly remittance. That'll be about all." Can Not Escape Thoughts.

NOT THE TIME TO STOP. Manager Saw the Possibilities in the Situation. Jim Johnstone, the famous baseball umpire, said recently in New York that baseball crowds were far kinder to umpires than they used to be. "This is true of theater crowds, too," said Mr. Johnstone. "Why, with provincial touring companies in the past, maltreatment was regularly expected. In fact, the companies profiled by it in more ways than one. "I know of a company that was playing 'The Broken Vow' in Paint Rock, a one night stand. The audience didn't like 'The Broken Vow', and eggs, cabbages and potatoes raled upon the stage. "Still the play went on. The hero raved through his endless speeches, dodging an onion or a baseball every other minute, and pretty sore from those missiles that he hadn't been able to dodge. "But finally a gallery auditor in a paroxysm of rage and scorn hurled a heavy boot, and the actor, thoroughly alarmed, started to retreat. "Keep on playing, you fool," hissed the manager from the wings, as he hooked in the boot with an umbrella. "Keep on till we get the other one." Been Laid Away in Stockings The Framingham (Mun) national bank has just received for redemption a note on the old Framingham bank, which was the predecessor of the present national bank. The note is dated June 12, 1854, and is as crisp and clean as the day that it left the engraver's hands. The note will be kept as a souvenir. A Theory. "Why do men swear?" asked one woman. "It's due to the vanity of the sex," answered Miss Cayenne. "They want to be noticed even when they can't think of anything of real importance to say." Would Make Rich Crop It is estimated that 21,000,000 acres are available for rice growing in Louisiana and Texas, and the value of such crop would be $400,000,000. This would make the rice crop fifth in point of value among the cereals of this country. Arithmetic Tommy—Pop, a man's wife is his better half, isn't she? Tommy's Pop—So we are told, my son.

James Wilson, the secretary of agriculture, was discussing in Washington the aid which his department gives the American farmer. He pointed out the benefit that had been derived from the introduction of darum wheat, of the wheat-testing machine, and of the method of extracting potash from granite. "In fact," said Mr. Wilson, smiling, "I believe that eventually our finest products will be cheap enough to be within the reach of all. Then the story of the boy and the hot-house grapes will be as dead and antiquated as the theater hat stories of the past. "This boy—he was a bootback—entered a grocer's store one day, and, pointing to some super bgrapes, said: 'Wot's the price o' them there, mister?' "One dollar a pound, my lad," the clerk replied. "A look of anugam passed over the boy's face, and he said, hastily: "Then give us a cent's worth o carrots. I'm dead nuts on fruit." PRESCRIPTIONS IN LATIN. The Public Should Have Them Trans lated by the Druggists. What virtue is there in the secrecy with which the doctor hedges about his profession? "Professional etiquette" occupies a prominent place in the curriculum of every medical school, and when strictly analyzed "professional etiquette" seems to mean "doing what is best for the doctor, individually and collectively." Among the things that "is best for the doctor" is the writing of his prescriptions in Latin, and thus keeping the public in ignorance not only of what it is taking for its ills, but forging a call upon the doctor each time a prescription is needed. In plain and unmistakable English the writing of prescriptions in Latin makes business for the doctors. Let us say that you have the ague. You had it last year and the year before. Each time you have visited the doctor and he has prescribed for you —in Latin. You have never known what he has given you for the disease, and so each time you are forced to go to him again and give him an opportunity to repeat his prescription—in Latin, and his fee—in dollars. If you ask the doctor why he uses Latin in writing his prescriptions, why he writes "aqua" when he means water, he will give you a technical dissertation on the purity of the Latin language, and the fact that all words are derived from it, etc. It will be a dissertation that you may not be able to answer, but it will hardly convince you. It would be a good thing for the public to devise a little code of ethics of its own; ethics that will be "a good thing for the public individually and collectively." Let us apply one of the rules of this code of ethics to you the individual. You call in the physician when you have the ague, the gripe, or any of the other ills to which human flesh is heir, and which you may have again some day. The doctor prescribes—in Latin, and you take this, to you, meaningless sorible to the druggist to have it compounded. Right here is where you come in, if you are wise. Say to the druggist that you want a translation of that prescription. It is your privilege to know what you are taking. While the doctor's code of ethics may not recognize this right it is yours just the same. With the translated prescription in your possession you have two distinct advantages. You know what you are taking, and should you wish to call some other doctor at some time, you will be able to tell him what drugs you have been putting into your system, and also if you should have the same disease again you can save yourself a visit to the doctor, and his fee, by taking this translated prescription to the druggist once more and having it refilled. Time to Fly. The trust magnate leaped up from the banquet table and made a dive for his 100-mile-an-hour automobile. "Hold on!" cried the astonished toastmaster. "Won't you wait for us to serve the dessert?" "No," replied the nervous magnate; "I just saw a suspicious face loom at the window. The next thing served will be a process." *And telling his chauffeur to put on full speed the wealthy fugitive headed for the next state.* She Experimented. A little girl of five was taken to church one Sunday, and listened with unexpected attention to the sermon, which graphically told the story of the stilling of the tempest on the Sea of Gallee, and how Christ waked on the waves. In the afternoon her mother missed her and began an anxious search of the house. As she neared the bathroom she heard sounds of splashing, and hurried to the door to behold a small, excited face peering over the rim of the big white tub, and to hear a small, excited voice exclaim: "Say, mamma, this walking on the water is quite a trick." A Knock. "Jimmy," said the father, "there's a rip in your bathing suit. Go and sew it up." "But papa," growled the boy, "mother will sew it for me." "Never mind. I want you to learn to sew yourself.

JAMIE WASTED NO TIME Youthful Philosopher Had Carefully Thought Out Situation. It was Jamie's bath night. He had several each week and he hated them all. On this particular night, once started, he soaked and splashed in the tub for a full half hour, then his mother haled him forth. He came out of the room in his pajamas with his face all streaked and dirty as it was when he went in. "Mercy!" cried his mother. "I thought you took a bath." "So I did!" answered Jamie scornfully, "A bully one!" "But your face is black!" said his mother. "Oh!" Jamie smiled understandingly, "My face is all right. I have to wash that in the morning, bath or no bath. You don't spose I'm going to waste time bathing my face! I always begin just below my ears and work down on my arms and legs; but I always leave my face and hands—those ends I 'tend to in the morning!' Sure to Have One Lincoln Steffens, in an address on municipal politics, said in Chicago of a certain city: "That city is as notorious for its rottenness as the town of Pebbles is notorious for another characteristic. "Here is an incident that will give you an idea of the reputation of Pebbles. "On a train one day a man rushed into a car, held up his hand for attention, and shouted excitedly: "Anybody here who belongs to Pebbles? "Aye; I do,' said a small, dry old fellow calmly. "Then,' said the other, 'lend us yer corkscrew.'" Born. Not Worn Little Margaret's grandmother had written for a photograph of her namesake, the "baby." For material reasons it was advisable that the little girl should appear as well dressed as possible, and a cousin's new open-work dress was borrowed for the occasion. On being arrayed for the picture Margaret rushed to her father, crying: "Oh, father, just look! These ain't worn holes; they is born holes."—Harper's. Evil of Tipping System. Although there is a great effort made to keep secret the thefts in hotels and restaurants in New York, it is quite evident they are on a rapid increase. The manager of a large restaurant says the system of having servants depend almost entirely upon patrons for their pay lowers their moral standard and causes them to look on those they are supposed to serve as their legitimate prey. Girls Destined for Harems. The Circassians, who live in the northwestern part of the Caucasus, and who think it is more honorable to live by plunder than by industry, make it a custom to bring their daughters up to be sold as slaves to the Turks and Persians. Circassian beauties, therefore, shine not in their native land but in the harems of the orient. "The Carthagenian mercenaries," he said, "encased their prisoners in a cement that, as it hardened, contracted. You can't imagine how uncomfortable this was." "Oh, yes, I can," she answered. "I once had on a tight bathing suit when it began to shrink." Habits of Sperm Whale. The sperm whale can remain below the surface for about 20 minutes at a time.

She Had Curious Habits When a person has to keep the feet out from under cover during the coldest nights in winter because of the heat and prickly sensation, it is time that coffee, which causes the trouble, be left off. There is no end to the nervous conditions that coffee will produce. It shows in one way in one person and in another way in another. In this case the lady lived in S. Dak. She says: "I have had to lie awake half the night with my feet and limbs out of the bed on the coldest nights, and felt afraid to sleep for fear of catching cold. I had been troubled for years with twitching and jerking of the lower limbs, and for most of the time I have been unable to go to church or to lectures because of that awful feeling that I must keep on the move. "When it was brought to my attention that coffee caused so many nervous diseases, I concluded to drop coffee and take Postum Food Coffee to see if my trouble was caused by coffee drinking. "I only drank one cup of coffee for breakfast but that was enough to do the business for me. When I quit it my troubles disappeared in an almost miraculous way. Now I have no more of the jerking and twitching and can sleep with any amount of bedding over me and sleep all night, in sound, peaceful rest. "Postum Food Coffee is absolutely worth its weight in gold to me." "There's a Reason." Read the little health classic, "The Road to Wellville," in pkrs. Physicians Recommend Castoria CASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hall's Journal of Health.

Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ill., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory." Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place." Dr. J. H Tatt, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent." Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's." Dr. Wm. J McCann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost home." Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy." Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recommendation of Castoria." GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS Bears the Signature of Chas. H. Hitchens.

One day, the story runs, a case in which he was counsel was down for trial in a Massachusetts court. Mr. Adams did not make his appearance, but sent a letter to the judge. That worthy gentleman read it, and then postponed the case with the announcement: "Mr. Adams is detained on important business." It was afterward learned by a colleague of Adams that the letter read as follows: "Dear Judge: For the sake of old Isaak Walton, please continue my case till Friday.
