The Matter of DRESS THE FASHION OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY IN WHICH THERE ESTHESHAM TWENTY-FIFTH The MAY D Perhaps at no time in the past has there been greater diversity in styles and in materials worn at various functions. Skirts are trailing, of the short walking length, or just escape the floor; they are empire, princess, glove or loosely fitting princess, with no suggestion of the empire, or they ab w the Louis coats with trailing skirts, or elaborate coats and skirts, or the severest of the tailored variety of the latter combination. Velvet is especially smart in gowns and in coats, whether tight or loose. Hats as a rule are prettier than ever, but some extraordinary effects are seen. Although fur is now so much used as a trimming for evening gowns and evening mantles, I am of the opinion that the latter garments are most effective and distinguished when made on very simple lines and left practically untrimmed. Of course, everything depends on the dress with which the mantle is to be worn; if that be exceedingly elaborate the mantle or wrap can afford to be simple, and vice versa. Now that our evening cloaks are always made to accompany some special gown we find them in many different materials and styles. Perhaps the graceful burnous is about the most satisfactory and becoming shape. The burnous wrap looks best when made of soft cashmere and lined with liberty satin or of supple satin, and lined with a heavy make of crepe de chine. Beautiful embroideries are arranged on the fronts and hoods of the cloaks of this genre. The reign of the three-quarter length tailor-made coat has commenced brilliantly, and now this delightful garment is almost unbliquous. And all the best of the new tailor-made coats show rounded fronts. In many cases the back is longer than the front; the sleeves reach almost to the elbow and are semi-Japanese in outline. The white shirt waist can well be eschewed for the time being and a shirt of crepe de chine to match the cloth coat and skirt costume substituted instead. A dark blue serge skirt and coat would be most effectively completed with a dark blue crepe de chine shirt, made with broad tucks and spotted with white cotton. White frills at the wrists and down the center of the front, and outlining the collar-band, will, if made of very narrow and finely hissetmitted lawn, give the finishing touch justly recognized as distinguishting between the blouse of yesterday and that of to-day. Perhaps the height of magnificence in dress is reached in the evening gowns. Embroidery appears on every frock, be it Greek or Louis XVI. There is a great craze for what is known as Egyptian embroidery—copies of old Egyptian conventional designs. The Greek keynote pattern is always effective in rich fabrics. I should say most of the evening dresses have sleeves, and although it has been observed that there is very little bodice worn in Paris just now, there is a good bit of drapery in the sleeve. The bodice is cut very low back and front, for the most part square, and filled in with pieces of heavy embroidery, lace and tulle, and the sleeve, as I have said, is a mass of drapery, often covering the elbow but leaving the arm bare at the top or veiled with a transparency. This draped sleeve is a pretty fashion, though perhaps not strictly classical. The two frocks illustrated in our large picture are simple but elegant in design. The first has a distinct Louis THE GAZETTE XV. flavor. It is made in apricot yellow satin latin with pink, while the draped fichu and center panel beneath are of gold filet lace, embroidered in raised chenille with groups of autumn-tinted leaves. The bodice points down the center in the front, and is cut short on the hips, and the little under-sleeves, which the drawing scarcely shows, are of very fine net. Dedicated to the use of the young girl is figure No. 2, and it is made of white satin with little pleatings of tulle peep beneath broad bands of Charming Afternoon Frock. satin, which are held together by strings of pearls, the skirt trimmed with the same decoration. The whole idea is expressive of youth, simplicity, and perhaps just a little indicative of an expensive taste. Not that, when I come to think of it, the purchase of a satin evening dress should be termed expensive, for expenses to-day lie as much in the making as in the material, and undoubtedly it may be granted that a satin dress will outlive two chiffon dresses. And chiffon nowadays insists upon embroidery as well as a lining of chiffon, while net, which is considered a privilege for the thrifty, will call aloud for a decoration of ribbons, and again demands a lining of chiffon and underlining of soft satin, so to be really just, the diaphanous gown, although it assumes the virtue of economy, has it not. We may, though, except from the rule the frock of ninon, which can be made extremely attractive on a slight figure when it is trimmed with large tucks, or ribbons, and allowed to display some dainty chemisette of tulle or lace threaded with ribbons.

A POWERFUL Appeal to the Nation to Stop Color Preju- dice. CONGRESS ASKED To Enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution Following is the report of the committee on national affairs of the Republican club of New York unanimously adopted at its regular meeting on November 18, 1907. It is regarded as the leading organization of the kind in this country; (Cantinued from Last Week.) Reduction of Representation Just Reduction of Representation Just. There are brave white men in the south who would grant justice to the black race, if the north would lead, and in no way can they be so helped as to proportionately reduce representation in the states that refuse suffrage in the states. When the southern states began to enact legislation by which the Negro was deprived of the privilege of voting, those who advocated these dishonest measures urged, many of them sincerely, that by thus taking the Negroes out of politics, better and kinder relations would be established between the races. It has not worked that way; indeed, we should have known that it would not. The drift has been steadily in the direction of a wider separation and more unfriendly relations between the whites and the blacks. The southern whites, now in absolute control, are determined to prevent the Negroes from voting, even if fraud, intimidation and murder continue to be necessary to accomplish it, while the Negroes are growing in their determination to secure the rights, guaranteed to them by the constitution of the United States. Let us recall to our fellow citizens that the great Franklin said: "You may be a slave, but you are free, and strong, for they can get along without it, but you must never take it from the poor and weak, for that is their one defense in a republic." Ballot the Safeguard. With the exercise of the voting power comes everything — freedom, manhood, rights, proper consideration, protection of life, property and the family—yes, protection for the wives and daughters of the black men. The astonishing facts in this connection are that colored men have been angered with assaulting white women and have been lynched for it, but who ever heard of white men being lynched or punished for assaulting colored women, and it would seem that this latter happens far more frequently than the first. Purity of Negro Women Unprotected Furthermore, a black man who repels an insult to his wife or sister in some sections of our land does it at the peril of his life, and the colored woman who resents insults from white men does so at the peril of her life. This insult to a black woman (a white man) shot a Negro woman who resented his attentions. His ball was fixed at $100. Commenting on this "The Vicksburg American" says with great candor: "This short item presents the whole of the Negro's side of the race problem in a nutshell. It is the logical outcome of the determination of the white woman to give pothole. We condemn the Negro for morality; we preach sermons and write editorials about the duty of the race to elevate itself and answer with the shotgun when they try to do so. One of our favorite preachments to them is that the morality of its wo men is that the cornerstone of a race's pursuit of a woman pursued or insulted by a white man must submit or run the risk of being shot down." Prejudice in the North. While this evil is rapidly gaining ground in the south we must not shut our eyes to the fact that this prejudice against the colored man appears to be growing stronger in some sections of the north. In some communities they are not permitted to work as motormen or conductors on street railways, nor as trainmen on steam railways, nor as artisans. It is to be feared that there are a great many people at the north, especially in those communities into which southern people have moved and are likely to deprive the colored man of all opportunities of livelihood and manhood. How is it in the south? What are the facts? Colored men, men with degrees from American and European colleges and universities, physicians of distinction, hundreds of whom met in Philadelphia recently in a great convention, preachers of character and fame, college professors and college presidents, bank presidents and successful merchants, all are forbidden to ride in the streets, all are obliged to ride in what are known as "Jim Crow" cars. This has all been brought about in very recent years. Enanceance of Southern White Leaders ance of Southern White Leaders Concerning the Negro Leading southernners, such as Senator-elect John Sharpe Williams, of Mississippi, in the November "Metropolitan Magazine," in carefully prepared articles and in public speeches, declare that they know the Negro, for they know the Negro, in the north do not know him. The carriage is true. They know only the plantation negro and the house servants. They do not know these educated, public spirted, large minded leaders of the black race. How can they? They shut their eyes to the wonderful race of the Negro, or forced race. "These so-called white lead ers are fifty years behind the times. They live in the past and talk in the past; they have not changed, and think that the colored men have not changed. The "sublime assurance" that usually accompanies ignorance is found in the speeches and acts of these white leaders. With the habit of all wrong-doers, from the beginning of the world till now, they shout: "Let us alone—we are not doing anything wrong." By a continual exaggeration of the colored man's vices and a studied suppression of the proofs of his advancement the leaders of the southern whites are trying to make us believe that they are martyrs and the Negro is a brute. By the scare-crow of threatened social equality and the bugaboo of Negro domination they have poisoned their own section and the poison is spreading north.

We a committee, representing the colored citizens of Cincinnati, deem it expedient and appropriate at the beginning of this session of congress to inform you that we are fully aware of the gallant fight you have made in the Brownsville investment bank. We felt thanks and deepest gratitude for your noble efforts towards securing justice for our soldiers, who were, without trial, discharged without honor, notwithstanding their many years of meritorious service.

THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. For President Senator J.B. Foraker Those Brownsville bullets that "Teddy" and Taft made so much fuss over in their special messages to congress last winter are making them no end of trouble and causing them very great concern these days. Too bad, isn't it? "REMEMBER BROWNSVILLE." The "Remember Brownsville" bunch at Boston got it in the neck Tuesday just as they did in Cleveland. "The Boston Guardian" worked overtime to influence colored voters to oppose the mayor. But the voters were counted a decided republican victory was achieved, the voters remembering Brownsville but not forgetting Boston. Boston citizens, as Cleveland citizens, think for them. They influenced by revengeful agitators—The Cleveland Ticket Paper (Journal). Still lying and saying mean and contemptible things. The Boston Guardian deserves credit for the brave and manly and very proper fight it made. One never loses when making a fight for a principle, regardless of how the contest may end. So the Guardian has not lost, even if it did not win all it and we hoped it would, in the local campaign just closed in Boston, Mass. However, we trust the great majority of the loyal Afro-Americans there did do their own thinking and also their duty, as the same proportion of Cleveland Afro-American citizens did, for the latter certainly did their part toward defeating that outspoken enemy of Senator Foraker, Cleveland's most recent republican candidate for mayor—Congressman Roosevelt "Roosevelt" Burton. The "remember Brownsville bunch" in Boston, Cleveland and throughout this entire country includes every decent, loyal Afro-American, man, woman and child old enough to remember Roosevelt and Taft's outrageous discharge without honor of "The Black Battailon," and their insulting and contemptible treatment of the innocent soldiers and the entire race in their special messages to congress anent the so-called Brownsville riot. How in the name of God are loyal members of the race to do aught else than "remember Brownsville" with Roosevelt and Taft and particularly their special representative in the senate and on its committee on military affairs, Henry Cabot Lodge, of Boston, Mass., whose republican candidate for mayor, Editor Trotter, very properly opposed, doing all in their power to continue the outrageous treatment of "The Black Battailon" and the race notwithstanding the fact that again last week, and, too, for the fourth time since August, 1806, that champion of champions, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, has cleared, and proven our soldiers entirely innocent of the criminal charge of having "shot up" Brownsville, Tex., on the night of August 13-14, 1906? Can it be possible that their lives in this country, a black man, woman or child who is not proud of the grand record our soldiers and sailors from Crispus Attacks down to and including "The Black Battailon" have made? Is there one who would be pleased to learn that it had been broken and lowered; or can there exist a member of the race so low and contemptible that he would consent to a battalion or even ONE of our soldiers, whether innocent or guilty, being charged with a fearful crime, "convicted" and punished for the same, all without the trial guaranteed by the law to all citizens (and soldiers), and then not remember the false charge and resent the mistreatment upon every occasion and at every opportunity? If there is such a one, may the good Lord take him out of the country, and soon, "Remember Brownsville?" Yes, INDEED! Just let that great republican majority in congress fall to do the same thing and fall to meet out full and exact justice to the "Black Battailon," regardless of Roosevelt, Taft, Senators League, War- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1907. ner and the rest of the "Roosevelt" republican members of congress, and there are enough loyal Afro-Americans here in the north who will "remember Brownsville" next fall to do in more than "several" states for the republican candidate for president (unless his name is Foraker) what the loyal Cleveland Afro-Americans did for Candidate Burton last month, and their slogan was "Remember Brownsville!" It could not be otherwise unless we were a race of curs or mongrel pups; black or "ebony-hued" ones, too. We are not, however, THANK GOD!

The concert at Assembly hall, East End, on Wednesday evening, under the auspices of St. Andrews Episcopal church, attracted a splendid audience of about 300 people which comfortably filled it. Many of our best people and a number of the other race were in attendance. It was a gathering above the average in point of intelligence, quite a number being in evening dress, and it could not help but be an inspiration to the participants in the program, which was as follows: **Program.** Piano Solo (a) Hexantanz, Opus 17, No. 2. McDowell (b) The Last Hope. (Gottschalk Miss Florence Freeman. Vocal Trio—Tl Prego, O. Padre. ...G. Nicolao Mrs. Kittle S. Mitchell, Fred D. Hackley, J. Walter Willis.

Borrowsi Mr. Johnston. Solo—"Oft Have I Seen the Swal- low" ..... Del'Aqua Mrs. Hackley. The opening numbers, in spite of an instrument which was anything but fit for solo work, showed Miss Freeman, of Palenville, to be a very promising performer. Her best work was done in "The Last Hope," a beautiful and well known standard selection which all pianists attempt and few have been able to show its appreciation of Miss Freeman's renditions with liberal applause. The second number, a trio, was well done and enclosed, all three voices making a good impression, particularly Mrs. Mitchell's and Mr. Hackley's. The former has exceptional power and ability to execute, while the latter is more formal as a result of its excellent quality. Mr. Johnston's two numbers, both of which were warmly enclosed, were very good indeed, his most pleasing being a dainty and beautiful selection given in response to the encore of his first number. Mr. Johnston's violin solos are always delightful, prince-like, and the tone he produces, the smoothness with which he plays and plays he displays. Miss Peck's "By Order of the Czar" was so well read that a good, warm encore was given her. She responded with a humorous selection that was thoroughly enjoyed by the large audience. She has an excellent voice, stage appearance, and is a very promising reader, indeed. Madam Hackley's first and last program numbers were her best, although two of her several encore selections and one other (of No. 6) seemed to please the audience greatly. She has a good, strong and fairly sweet voice that at times approaches her own. She has, however, exceptional control of it and her execution is at times really brilliant. Madam Hackley is undoubtedly one of our few best sopranos and cannot but feel proud of the splendid and generous treatment accorded her on Wednesday evening at the splendid and representative audience of both classes of people of this community. Good, conscientious work was done by the accompaniers—Miss Ella Alexander and Mr. Harry Valentine, who played only for Mr. Johnston. They are excellent accompaniers and pianists. It is an art in itself—to be able to accompany well. The concert managing committee, part of the secretary, Mr. Edward Daw, who worked so long and faithfully to make the affair the splendid success it was, is entitled to a great deal of praise and credit.

OUR VERY BAD PRE-EMINENCE IN THE SLAUGHTER OF MINERS IS SIMPLY APPALLING. Number of Men Killed in American Mines Is Three Times that in European Countries. Washington, D. G. — The coal mines in the United States are killing three times as many men per 1,000 employed as those of most European countries. In the last 17 years 22,840 men have given up their lives in the mines of the United States. As many violent deaths occurred in the mines during the last six years as during the preceding 11 years. The number of fatal accidents each year is now double to that in 1906. In 1906, 6,861 men were killed or injured in the mines, the dead numbering 2,061 and the injured 4,800 These terrible facts have been gleaned by government experts acting under orders from Secretary Garfield, of the interior department, to investigate the deaths of coal mines in accidents, particularly those resulting from explosions, and also to make suggestions as to how mining conditions may be improved and accidents prevented. The secretary's request for information was sent to George Smith, director of the geological survey, for June. Carrying out the suggestions, the technologic branch; Clarence Hall, explosive expert, and others made a number of examinations of the more dangerous coal mines of Indian Territory. In addition Mr. Hall and his assistant, Walter O. Snelling, examined the causes of a number of disastrous coal mine explosions in several of the states. The conclusions of the experts are found in a bulletin issued on coal mine accidents, their causes and prevention. The statement of Mr. Holmes states that an increase in the number and seriousness of explosions may be expected to continue has already proven fateful, for since the words were written the country has been startled with the news of more explosions costing nearly 500 lives. TRIES TO STOP BOND SALE. An Unsuccessful Bidder Seeks to Have the Secrets of the Treas- ury Enjoined Washington, D. C.—Justice Gould, of the district supreme court, on Wednesday cited George B. Cortelyou, secretary of the treasury, to appear in court January 3, 1908, to show cause for the failure to deliver the balance of the $210,000 of Panama canal bonds to certain banks and persons to whom he has announced allotments. The citation issued by Justice Gould is based on a petition filed by George Austin, of New York, who declares he has allowed it to purchase bonds of the advertised issue of the face value of $3,000,000. Mr. Austin informs the court that he has been advised through the public press that, in direct violation of the statutes, of the $25,000,000 of the allotted bonds, of $1,000,000 were allotted to persons who were bidders for the same and who in accordance with the statutes were given an equal opportunity to subscribe therefor. The remaining $24,000,000 were allotted to divers national banks only $3,550,000 were allotted to banks and a higher price than that bid by him. Mr. Austin also refers to the bid of one George A. Romar, of New York City, who had complied with the terms of the secretary's circular in every particular of the declaration. It is stated that Romar offered bids for $1,000,000 at 103.25, $1,000,000 at 103.50, $1,000,000 at 103.75 and $1,000,000 at 10.44, and that a further bid for $4,000,000 was made by Romar at a price of $1,000,000. This condition includes with the declaration a bjy reason of the secretary having ignored these bids, "the United States and the citizens thereof, irrespective of the rights of said bidder, had been deprived and will be deprived and have several hundred thousand dollars."

Bagnall, called on The Gazette last week Thursday. He was the guest of his brother, Rev. Dr. Chas. Bundy, while in the city. In our account of the consecration of St. Andrews church, the Gazette failed to mention the fact that the Bundy, of Detroit, Hon. John P. Green, Dean Dumoullin, of Trinity cathedral; Rev. Mr. Bishop, of New York City; Rev. Dr. Lefflingwold, of Toledo, and Rev. Mr. Davidson participated, in addition to those mentioned in our previous issue. Rev. Scott Wood, of Algheny, Rev. George Bundy and Rev. Mr. Bagnall were guests of the Bishop (Leonard), of Ohio, at the luncheon the Cleveland clercius, Monday. Rev. Wood was home Tuesday evening. The three guests of Gazette a pleasant call on Monday afternoon. Rev. Mr. Bundy is a former resident of Cleveland and Cincinnati, and has many warm friends here. or elsewhere for rights in public places being withheld from our people. Trucklers, traitors and boodlers should be relegated to the rear where they belong and kept there. That they have the nerve and gall to shove themselves into the limelight at times is but additional reason why the relegation should take place just as often as is necessary to make it effectual. Many Afro-Americans will never "get together" with the subject tools of white enemies of the race even if the tools are black. FORD'S HAIR POMADE Formerly known as "OZONIZED OX MARROW" Goldfield in Darkness Goldfield, Nev.—The power wires of the Nevada-California Power Co. went down Tuesday afternoon and Goldfield was without electric light or power last night. Many rumors are afloat, the most reliable being that the wires were cut at Palmetto, 25 miles distant. Many people are alarmed and an effort is being made to have Gen. Funston take charge of the camp and with troops "Three mines were opened" Tuesday with men brought from other points and those who have signed the agreement of the Mine Owners' association. The total number of men at work Tuesday was about 160. Ancient Bomb Exploded. New York City.—One of the civil war bombs found in the old custom house last Friday nearly cost the life of an employee of the bureau of combustibles Tuesday. Michael J. Howell was taking a wagon load of ammunition from the warehouse in the custom house during the draft riots in 1863, to a fire boat which was to carry them out into the bay, where they were to have been thrown overboard. The load began to shift and Howell got down to rearrange it in the warehouse, and rested at his feet. His right arm was blown off and his recovery is doubtful. Female Swindler Fled St. Petersburg, Russia.—A sensation has been caused here by the flight of Olga Stein, a Russian woman who conducted a series of swindles on a large scale. She was being tried on charges of fraud and swindling, and jumped her ball when she saw the long hair of a man her. She was charged with having defrauded certain persons of $300,000, and her operations extended over a long period. Mrs. Stein moved in good society and was reputed to be a millionaire. It is believed that she obtained in all several million rubles. AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY.

There was no fire in the smoking car and everybody was blue and tremulous with cold. "My feet fairly ache," said a clergyman. Then a drummer, winking at his neighbors, pulled out a flask of whisky. "Here's the best thing going for cold feet, friend," he said. And the clergyman extended his hand for the bottle eagerly. "You bet it is," said he. He poured a huge drink into the glass, lifted it toward the drummer with a "Here's looking at you, sir," and then, slipping off his boots, emptied the whisky into them. "In two minutes my ice-cold feet," he said, "will be in a warm glow. Whisky poured into the boots warms the feet like a hot stove." Mrs. Haymowe—What do you wear that mask for? Chaufeur—Well, I'll tell you. I wear it so that the people I run over won't be able to recognize me. BLACK, ITCHING SPOTS ON FACE Physician Called It Eczema in Worst Form—Patient Despaired of Cure— Cuticura Remedies Cured Her. "About four years ago I was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and a few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irritation, and which caused me a great deal of suffering, to such an extent that I was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of _____. After a thorough examination of the dreaded complaint they announced it to be skin eczema in the worst form. Their treatment did me no good. Finally I became despondent and decided to discontinue their services. My husband purchased a single set of the Cuticura Remedies, which entirely stopped the breaking out. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that ever splotch was entirely gone. I have not felt a symptom of the eczema since, which was three years ago. Mrs. Lizzie E. Sedge, 540 Jones Ave., Selma, Ala, Oct. 28, 1905." Hard to Explain. Uncle George was an old colored man who tried awfully hard to be good, but it was very difficult for him to keep from stealing. As he explained it, "I just nachally want to take what I lay my hands on." Uncle George's latest theft was a pig. The more he thought about what he had done the worse he felt. About the middle of the night his wife woke and saw uncle still kneeling by the bedside in earnest prayer. "Why don't you get in bed?" she asked. "Oh, let me alone," replied Uncle George; "I'se tryin' to 'spain to heaven jes' how I happen to have that pig, and the more I 'spain the wusser mixed I get." Good Workers Uly Rewarded. good book. No, too. Sneymhein and Pannartz, the two Germans who were the first to print books in Rome, used paper and types of excellent quality.

CLYDE. ALISON. MANN. Capt. Riley was intently watching from his net-loft window the approach of his biggest fishing tug, the Alice Riley. Even in the inner harbor she was pitching and rolling in the December seas and was sheathed in ice from bobbing timber head to the overhang att. "Not a boxful, not one," he groaned, seeing the nested fish boxes still lashed to the deckhouse roof. "But the boys'll get their pay, somehow; they'll get it, if I have to slap a mortgage on all the outfit." No one else should know it, but the truth was Christmas cheer was not in Capt. Riley's heart as he turned gravely to the twine-reeling he had busied himself with since he broke his ankle and Billy Noonan had proudly taken out the Alice Riley, the most powerful tug that fished off Skilligalee in the Straits of Mackinac. The tug tied up to the dock with a bump, there was some shouting, heavy footsteps clumping on the ice yawl, then up the shaky stairs and the door flew open letting in a blast of raw north wind and an ice-coated being in oil skins who presently sheld his chrysalis and became a crestfallen skipper, a curly-haired, alert young fellow, who almost hugged the roaring stove, for he was drenched and shivering. "Not a pound, cap'n," was his greeting. "Breezed up so we couldn't touch the nets," he added. "Old Michigan must be cuttin' up considerable," the old man answered cheerly. "Never mind, boy, you'll get 'em next time." But Billy Noonan knew how bad the fishing had been all year, and could figure as well as his employer how bad matters must be. Not a man of them FRANKIN all but loved the grizzled old man, and marveled at him, for he knew the lake bottom from Point Betsle to the great log rollway that scarred the bluffs north of Waugshance light, as most men know dry land. Billy Noonan, however, also loved the old captain's daughter, Mary, and had hoped—how he had hoped!—to bring in a big catch of whitefish when he was given the big tug to lift the last nets of the year. Now a lean Christmas, a very lean Christmas, seemed certain in the Riley home—a home for all homeless lads at Christmas time. Mary's laugh had been infrequent of late and her merriment had been forced. Here she was herself in the doorway as the crew clumped in. "Billy Noonan," she called, "don't you know you'll swamp the tug with the fish jammed to the gunwalls, so?" There was a note in her rallery that cut him to the quick. How queenly she was, this straight, blue-eyed brunette, wrapped in the captain's oilskins, flushed from facing the storm! Billy Noonan lay awake that night, notwithstanding the long day at the wheel of the lurching tug. Through his window he stared out at the blackness, and he listened to the walling wind; wailing, it seemed to him, complaint at the year of misfortunes and pitiful catches of fish, walling complaint at the wages and prices of fish fixed by the union that made the lot of Capt. Riley so hard in an "off" year. Far out on the Charlevio pier no white light shone, up and down the angry lake the lighthouses and lightships were nowhere else on watch, the fog signals were silent, although belated barges still stumbled up and down the lake. Suddenly a flash in the north, and another and another, the flash of rockets, brought him out of bed. "This side o' Waugoshance, about White Shoals," he calculated. "Bad place with this wind." He shook his bed-fellow, Kelly, the fireman, and finally roused him. "Get out Kell, someone's in trouble near the straits and maybe the Alice Riley can get a line to her first." Kelly knew what that would mean, at least $400 a day for "the old man," and he knew the need. Everyone said the Alice Riley had an uncommon crew; two hours later the tug's whistle blew four booming blasts in the darkness—"strong ahead"—and five more that were Billy's farewell to Mary if she was awake—or cared. She saw from her bedroom window the tug steam through the channel, sparks flying wierly in the wind, out to the open lake where no light shone to mark the way for the 30 miles of desperate tussle with waves that now at times buried the very Got a Line to Her. deckhouse roof. Again the five short blasts as the starboard light turned north beyond the pier, then was gone. "Here's hopin'," growled Billy as he whirled the wheel over. He was hanging on grimly, for at times the tug stood about on end. A sea smashed one of the pilot-house windows and he fixed it as best he could by the dim binnacle light. He lashed the wheel to a course two points east of north. In the blackness he could see only the white crests of waves. The panting of the tug's exhaust told him Kelly was stoking like a flend and that O'Nell was squeezing the last ounce out of his big engine, 16 square. Ahead was blackness, the maddened waters and the in-frequent flash of rockets. It was still dark when Billy saw, as the tug topped a great wave, as the ship's light ahead twinkle a moment where the whitecaps marked White Shoals. At dawn he had a line to the derelict and the great seven-inch hauser was going to her overside; an hour later they were fast by the forward towing post. It would be easy in such a sea to trip on the hauser and "turn turtle," or to be snatched by a great wave and have the hauser break. The barge on the shoal was an ore freighter loaded to the water's edge, a heavy tow. With his hand on the bell cord to signal to O'Nell, Billy muttered: "Here's for Mary and better—" He rang, the engines started, then, crash! Billy's Christmas wishes were cut short; the tow post was gone and water poured into the hole in torrents. It was hours later when they got that hauser again, when the tug's hoarse whistle roared, "All right," and the bellow of the stranded barge replied. It was dreary work and Billy and the crew were gaunt with hunger and weariness. Again slowly in the teeth of the wind they went ahead, jerked tremendously at intervals when the waves snatched the tow. When they were getting into deeper water O'Nell's engines suddenly stopped, and ten minutes later the barge had drifted back to the shoal. The eccentric had slipped; the tug was but driftwood; bad business in such a sea. Billy Noonan and O'Nell kept her afloat somewhere, and all the time Billy, still clutching the wheel, was muttering of Mary and Christmas; he had strange vagaries, but was still sane as a skipper. When at last the frantic hammering in the engine room ceased, near evening of the next day, they were still near to the barge that was pounding on the shoals. The sun broke through the clouds, a red sun near to setting beyond the tossing waters, the sunset of Christmas eve. It was never clear how they got the slow steel barge to move so fast once they got her off again. But in the midnight hours when St. Nick, Kris Kringel and all the Christmas fairies were abroad on land, when the last embers of the yule logs smouldered cozily under lines of stockings in many, many homes, the Alice Riley's deep whistle sounded off the Charlevoix pler. Capt. Riley still sat before his fireplace, waiting hopefully—as was his nature. For the hundredth time he looked about the room at Mary's pittiful efforts at Christmas decorations. Suddenly he heard, faint but unmistakable, the bass call of the Alice Riley. Instantly he picked up his crutch and rapped on the door of Mary's room. So quickly did she appear, suspiciously red-eyed but smiling, she must have been awake, too. "Listen," he cried, holding up his hand. Boo-oo-ooom, booo-ooom, booo-oooom! "All right!" Again, deep, full and growing less faint, the whistle sounded. "All right." "That means a Christmas for all of us, Mary, in spite of the fish!" Then there came a succession of short, sharp toots and the captain stared perplexed. With a twinkle he turned to Mary. "Do you know what that means, Mary?" he asked. She flushed crimson, but before she put her arms about her father with a hug that he understood she flashed her answer from the bow window with a lamp. The captain, smiling, for a long time sat looking at a picture over the mantel, the picture of her mother. "Merry Christmas," he said to the picture, very softly. "I knew it would come." Billy brought it—and Billy had it, an unforgettable Christmas—with the Rileys. When at last he "rolled in" with Kelly, the fireman would have his joke—he called it "Mary Christmas."

Christmas comes once more with its annual appeal for hospitality, hospitality for all that is sweet and tender, natural and human, gentle and child-like. Let us heed its appeal and make room in our hearts, our lives and our world—room for the Christmas spirit, room for the child-like temper, room for the love of God and the love of man. Let this be our prayer to-day to the Incarnate Love: Offer to Bethlehem, Decease to us, we pray. Cast out our sin and enter in; Be born in us to-day. Life's Real Mercies. Life is a long Christmas stocking. We cannot see the bottom of it, not reach our presents, save as one by one we take them from the top. Thank God for the gifts that bulge out at the top, the commonplace mercies we have learned to expect. And thank Him most of all that when we have reached down as far as we can there is room for some other little blessing, hidden away in the toe, perhaps the chosest little gift of all, which we nearly overlooked. An Old English Custom. The old country Englishman never falls to unbar his door at 12 o'clock New Year's eve to let the old year out and the new year in. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1907. Life's Real Mercies BENEATH the SPRAY of MISTLETOE BY WILBUR. D. NESBIT. Beneath the spray of mistletoe The comely damel stands, Her hair is of a golden光 wave, and carling strands— She ties it with an arm Held in her shapely hands. The firelight flickers on the wall; The shadowows on the wave Odd pattern that attains fall, She fidgets with her sleeve And prinks her ribbons one and all— This daughter fair of Eve. In truth she is a lovely sight, Her cheek is like the rose, Her brow is ivory is white, Patrician is her nose, Her eye is blue with heaven's light; She holds a queenly pose. A young man passing by the door Looks in and sees her there; His lips lightly or the floor— He is man of us would dare Do even the same thing For she is passing fair! 图 He points above her sunny head, She looks up with a smile. (The young man it may well be said, Is well equipped with guile.) Her lips are rarely curved, and red, And pursue in tempting style. He puts his arm about her waist— And she does not resist! And then, in sudden, ardent haste, The damselfair is kissed! Ah, luscious smack and honeyed taste That he would not have missed! And now she gazes in surprise— Is she surcharged with ire? The gleam within her azure eyes— Is that from anger's fire? Will she with wattiful rousing cries Call forth her study sire? RANDING 田 The coming of Christ gave emphasis to the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. The great principle of Christianity stands out prominently in contradiction to many of the noblest principles of heathendom. Race prejudices ran through all peoples and amongst all tongues, but when Christ came he taught the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. He taught that God is no respecter of persons. He made the poor as well as the rich his dishease. He dined with the pubsmen and sinners, as well as with priests and noblemen. He commanded that the Gospel be preached to every creature. His church today is a living witness that there is neither bond nor free, male nor female, Greek nor Jew, for we are all one in Christ. His New Year's Resolve. Fred—Jack is going to give up smoking on New Year's. Tom—Oh, he can never quit tobacco. Fred—Yes; he's got a great scheme. Just before making the resolution he's going to smoke one of those cigars his wife gave him for Christmas.— Judge. His Popularity. At Christmas Santa Claus is the only attraction that plays to a full house. S.T. PATRICK Drove all the snakes from IRELAND S.T.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. MAN'S LACK OF GALLANTRY. Or, as You May Look at it, Woman's Unreasonableness. H. J. Conway, of Chicago, president of the Retail Clerks' International union, advocated at the recent convention in St. Louis the same pay for women as for men clerks. "When women," said Mr. Conway afterward, "do the same work as men they should get the same wages. And anyone who argues that this is impossible seems to me at once as ungallant and as illogical as the famous husband of Paint Rock. "This husband was returning home from market late one Saturday night with his wife. The wife was burdened with a huge market basket, a broom, a kit of mackerel—dear knows what all. As for the man, he carried nothing. "Coming to a steep hill, the wife paused and said reproachfully: "Jack, if you were a real man, you'd help me carry some of these parcels." "Jack glared at her in disgust and scorn. "Aw, how can I? he growled, 'Ain't I got goth hands in my pockets?'"—Rehoboth Sunday Herald. NA67Y. He—Do you think glasses would make me look more intellectual? She—Well, if I were you I'd try them. They certainly couldn't hurt any. Charming an Audience. Young lawyer with political aspirations was about to make the first important speech of his career. He knew Speaker Cannon, and ventured to ask his advice in the matter of addressing an audience. “My son,” said out what interests your audience and talk to it on that subject. If you find you can't strike the oil of its attention, stop boring it.”—Success Magazine. There are more Catarra in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years, the people who are not the people who are not as many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. In the case of the disease, the people who are not as many years of care and therefore require constitutional treatment. Half a Catarra Care, manufactured by F. J.

An Albanian who has just returned from the east, where freshests have been the rule, tells the following about a horse which had been attached to a foot bridge crossing a brook, to keep the structure from going adrift. The flood finally swept horse and bridge down stream. Later, the bridge was discovered lodged against the bank, with the horse sitting quietly on the former. A bystander who had listened intently to this tale, remarked quietly: "I see suthin", similarly oncet. "Indeed? What was it?" asked the story teller. "Ye see," was the reply, "arter the hoss I see was took down stream, no buddy ever 'spected to see him alive again. But he was a powel' sort o' brute, an 'bout a hour arterward we see him a comin' up a stream a-pulin' the blame oi bridge arter him!"—Albany Evening Journal. "You'll be too old to sit on people's knees soon. Dolly." "Oh, no. I won't, auntie! I'm not half as old as sister and she sits on Mr. Wilson's knee. I'm never going to be too old for that sort of thing!" Too Much Delay. Miss Gibson Girl—How long before you can let me have this gown? Dressmaker—Two weeks, miss. Miss Gibson Girl—Heavens!
