TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 32. W. B. Fook - Hair 1898 MILITIA UNITAS ESTINENTIA TWENTY-FIFTH The MAN D The tailor-made gown and the lightweight storm coat which will keep off the chill of the spring winds and protect from the sudden storm are two requisites of the wardrobe which must be considered. In our illustration above we show a charming coat and skirt costume. The nutty little bolero has double revers and cuffs, the lower one in each respect being of white cloth, which gives a very smart touch to the costume. The material is one of the newest tweeds, which can be in many shades including several art colors. The skirt is tight fitting around the hips, but has a deep inverted plait at the back, and is trimmed round the hem with upright strapped bands with mitted points, which are graduated in size from front to back. The hat shown with this very neat costume is a small round shape of white felt simply trimmed with bunches of violets. The full-length coat shown at the right is semi-fitting, and the sleeves and body are lined with silk or other lining, material, according to the amount one feels disposed to pay for such a garment. The back is well cut and the whole garment though roomy enough to go over a jacket is far more shapely than the usual suac coat. In the illustration the collar is shown turned up and the reversed tucked in to show how cozy it can be made when out in the weather. The hat which so modestly harmonizes with this long coat is made of soft felt with a rolled brim edged with velvet. A band of the same velvet surrounds the crown and forms a small rosette from which starts a small ostrich tip. And now to make a big jump from the practicals to the finery of the wedding trousseau let us give a brief description of the wedding dress displayed in our smaller illustration. It is an empire gown of white satin, the long trained skirt being quite plain and the draped bodice arranged with a fuchu of Brussels lace, and two long stoles of lace back and front. The veil is of Brussels lace and is fastened with a wreath of orange blossoms. And now having conscientiously and faithfully disposed of our pictures let us turn to other matters of dress which will interest particularly at this season of the year. In "dressy" costumes for spring, the lightweight broadcloths are to be the smartest. The supple chiffon broadcloths so admirably adapted to all sorts of drapings, as well as in plain tight costumes, became fashionable at once, and their vogue, now long continued, promises to see no end. In broadcloths the plain rather than the stripes and checks now seen will be a choice of the fashionable fair one. The printed moussellines will be much seen in reception and dress afternoon and also in dinner gowns. The lovely borders that came in last spring will be more worn, as the prices will not be quite so high. Of course they are no longer the novelties they were, but they are beautiful, and will be much worn by the women of fashion. "Profound Emotional Sense. Hold out your hands to feel the luxury of the sunbeams. Press the soft blossoms against your cheek, and finger their graces of form, their delicate mutability of shape, their pliancy and freshness. Expose your face to the serial floods that sweep the heavens, "inhake great draughts of space," wonder, wonder at the wind's unwearied activity. Pile note on note the infinite music that flows increasingly to your soul from the tactual sonorities of a thousand branches and tumbling THE GAZETTE In the cut of a costume lies its chief charm, provided the fabric is suited to the person and the place. The plaited skirt is always worn. It suits the ordinary figure, whether too thin or too plump, better than the plain skirts, but the latter of circular cut are infinitely smarter, more graceful, are light in weight, and easier to wear. The plaited skirt without a plait to relieve it about the hips is suited to the truly feminine figure only. By the feminine figure I mean the womanly one, full of curves, with wide hips, flat in the front, and rounded in the back. The hipless, backless monstrosity which M. Charming Wedding Gown. some women claim to admire is the masculine shape, and a man 'might quite as well and with as much propriety sight for the broad hips and full curves of the womanly figure. The whole attempt of fashion to achieve long straight lines and the hipless figure is a curious perversion, offensive to the normal human being, whether man or woman, but especially obnoxious to men. The new thing in coats for hackabout, shopping and morning wear for spring will be the short or hip length coats. These will vary from 22 to 27 inches in length, depending largely on the height of the wearer or the length of the waist. For the wear of most women, however, the costumes offered in even the smart shops will have these jackets semi-fitting and of the longer rather than the shorter lengths. The semi-fitting coat is much the best for every one for morning and general traveling wear. Many a woman wears different corsets, different in length and build, and she may wear whichever is most comfortable and look as well in the semi-fitting coat. waters. How can the world be shriveled when this most profound, emotional sense, touch, is faithful to its service? I am sure that if a fairy bade me choose between the sense of sight and touch, I would not part with the warm, endearing contact of human hands or the wealth of form, the nobility and fullness that press into my palms.—From Helen Keller's "Sense and Sensibility," in Century.

PAP-SUCKERS PAP-SUCKERS SIMPLY SKINNED BY A LOYAL MEMBER OF THE RACE. STANDUPFORFORAKER STANDUPFORFORAKER AND OPPOSE ROOSEVELT AND TAFT WITH THE BALLOT IF NECESSARY—OUR SLOGAN. Columbus, O., Feb. 28, 1908—Hon Samuel B. Hill, Cincinnati, O.—Dear Sir: I received a copy of your Argus, dated February 15, 1908, edited in Cincinnati, and I suppose it voices the forced sentiment of a few of your everlasting tit-suckers of that country and sad. Your leading and only article headed "Lest We Forget" was something appalling. Lest we forget what? Can we ever forget? Forget that we have been robbed of one hundred and forty years of the right that God gave every man—the right of freedom. After receiving the right 48 years of this debt of gratitude if we owed any? You remind us, "lest we forget." No, we cannot and will not forget, I don't know what effect this article will have upon the colored voters of this state or what impression your editor is trying to convey. Does he want us to think that Taft and Roosevelt are our greatest friends or does he simply want something in the shape of votes to the Republican party? If either of these he binty, please let us forget. The article also speaks of the "married Lincoln and the exalted McKinley." How strange that the editor should couple the names of these two presidents. How different they were. He acknowledges that McKinley was moulded by Hanna. Who moulded Lincoln? McKinley proved that he had no particular desire to see the colored man advance during the Spanish-American war, for, while our battalion was in camp at Washington, D. C., he was asked to recruit us to regiment, to strength and his answer was "Yes." If you are a officer or officers. Why sing his praises? He was a man for tariff, but not play, while Lincoln gave his life for the betterment of all men, especially the Negro. Ask your editor if he remembers or has read what happened when Lincoln and Douglass were aspiring for the senatorship of the state of Illinois back in the fifties. Was not Lincoln a moulder of pure abolition thought and a fearless leader, and not a man as his article has declared him to be, but a rode on the crest of undisturbed warfare. Here is where your editor has forgotten and should awake from his dream. I know that you have read all of the speeches made by Mr. Taft at Kansas City, Lexington, Tuskegee and other southern points, so that there is no need of commenting on them. If you approve of them, let it go at that and don't try to convince us that they have the proper flavor to suit the appetite of the colored man. You are entirely wrong. We have been the beast of burden quite long enough. We have learned one lesson from the white man—if you want anything in the country of light sympathy or, you must fight for it. We have fought the cause of the white man more than once without even thanks or a good word from President Roosevelt. It is now time to strike with our ballots a blow that will convince the world that we have at last declared ourselves men true to our friends. Again I say I don't know what success you will have in this world. I don't know what luck I can wish you is that you have no followers and a speedy political annihilation for yourselves and associates. DU BOIS ON WASHINGTON! There is this about the south: It is clear, unequivocal and insistent in its demands, and it never gives its approval to any man, white or black, unless it has unmistakable proofs of his complete acquiescence in its entire program. The white south knows Booker Washington, its understands him; more, it has come to an understanding with him; and it listens to him, not because, as Mr. Garrison puts it, "his sincere purpose and upright character compel public respect and confidence," but because he has given his assent Prof. W. E. B. DuBois. to its policy of unequal schools, "Jim Crow" cars and distranchish constitutions. In Virginia, the Petersburg Normal and Collegiate institute has been superseded by the Normal and Industrial institute, and Mr. Washington's speeches were quoted as justification for the change; but the technical or industrial courses are not the equivalents of the abolished college courses. In the city of New Orleans the public schools for Negroes stop at the fifth grade; the reason given being that Negroes need only industrial education—Prof. W. E. B. Du Bois in the Alexandria (Va.) Horizon. "JIM CROW" LAW FIGHTER. Defies Oklahoma Crew and Rides Pullman from St. Louis to Fallis—Overland to Guthire. Guthire, Okla. — Attorney W. H. H. Hart, member of the faculty of the Howard Law college, Washington, D. C., arrived here on the 25th overland from Fallis, Okla., as special prosecutor in the suit recently filed by Hon. Edward H. McCabe to enjoin the "Jim Crow" coach law provision. Mr. Hart purchased a Pullman ticket in St. Louis for Fallis, Okla. After crossing the Oklahoma state line he was notified by the conductor that, under the Oklahoma laws, he must enter the "Jim Crow" coach. Hart declined, stating that he had purchased the Pullman ticket to Fallis and intended to ride on it, but gave the conductor the liberty to drive him off if he desired. The train crew did not further interfere with him, but arriving at Fallis, he drove the 30 miles overland to Guthire rather than enter a "Jim Crow" coach. Immediately Prof. Hart called on Judge John H. Cotteral and was notified the injunction hearing would be postponed from February 26 to March 2. Associated with Mr. Hart in this matter, the William Harrison of Oklahoma City and E. O. Tyler of Kingfisher, all Afro-American attorneys. It will be carried to the United States supreme court if necessary. Good! George Dixon in Bronze Boston, Mass.—The monument that was subscribed for by the sporting men of the country to mark the resting place of George Dixon, the champion boxer, will be unveiled Memorial day. Joe Humphries of New York, chairman of the committee that raised and received the fund, came here recently and contracted with A. M. Dean and Quentin Quast, $15,000. The base which will be six feet square, will be made of dark granite. The statue of the great little boxer will be made of standard bronze, six feet six inches in height. It will show Dixon full length, attired in boxing clothes, with the right hand resting on the hip and the left hanging by the side. Mr. Humphries also purchased a plot seven by 13 feet on the ground in M. Hope cemetery, and Dixon's body will be removed to this plot, at the head of which will stand the monument. Refused Roosevelt's Invitation Refused Roosevelt's invitation. New York City—The Ministers' union of the A. M. E. church vigorously applauded the announcement on the 24th night in the Lauteville Presbyterian church in Jersey City that our ministers and bishops who were recently in conference in Washington, D. C., had indigently rejected an invitation from President Roosevelt to call at the White House and pay their respects. The union endorsed the refusal of the Washington conference to call upon the president. Bishop Walters also reported that the Brownsville affair discussed at the Brownsville affair that President Roosevelt's action in the matter had been criticised as most unfair.

For after all, life is enjoyed because of the good we have done for others. It is—just possible no man since the days of Lincoln has such a hold upon the American Negro as Senator Foraker, and he is justly entitled to it. Is not all the talk of his "elemination" on our account, is not the sacrifice of his political forerunner, who have been thrust into a vortex from where he cannot extricate themselves without the help of powerful white friends, worthy of the love and respect of every member of the race? All honor to Senator Foraker and our white friends who cheered him for standing by us. Never desert him for such an enemy of the race as is Taft.—The last week relative to Mr. Brasher was written and sent to The Gazette by the local representative, Mr. Pemberton, who disclaims all responsibility for the same.

Youngstown, O. — The following is from the Telegram, a local daily, of February 28, 1908: "W. R. Stewart wore a notable victory this week in Judge Robinson's court when the jury in the case of Mertic's guardian vs. the B. & O. railroad returned a verdict of $5,000 for the plaintiff. Judge Robinson stated that this case was the hardest fought damage case he had ever heard and it required one week to finish the case. He had only been in this country two months before he was severely injured by a handear jumping the track at Middlefield. The man struck on his head, so injuring him that he has since been mentally unbalanced." The Vindicator, another local dally, of February 29, 1908, contained the following: Big Judgment in Cleveland. "Today in the United States circuit court in Cleveland in the case of Joseph Metakovic, aged 19, who brought an action for damages for injuries against the Ohio works of the Carnegie Steel Co. here, a judgment of $6,000 was entered. The young fellow was employed in the Ohio works; he had his feet crushed and one of them was amputated. In the litigation that ensued he was represented by Attorney William R. Stewart." Girard Man Sues for Damages. "Attorney W. R. Stewart has filed suit in the court in Mercer, Pa., for John R. Howell of Girard, asking for $15,000 damages, the suit being against the Shenango Iron and Steel Co. of Wheatland. Howell was employed at the ten-inch rolls and alleges that by reason of defects in them a piece of hot metal flew out and struck his left arm, so badly injuring it and his hand that they are permanently crippled." Mr. Stewart has certainly broken the Afro-American record in this section of the country at least, in securing for him the right to sue the judgments in one week against such corporations as the B. & O. railroad and the Carnegie Steel Co., and is entitled to no small amount of praise and credit. This is the kind of success that really helps racial progress generally and we congratulate, and warmly, too, the Hon. William R. Stewart. of consumption.

Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature. { 1894 to 1891 1896 to 1898 1900 to 1902 TRADE SCHOOL COUNCIL Cleveland 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 Our Guthrie, Oklahoma, letter, elsewhere in The Gazette today, shows Prof. W. H. H. Hart to have what we hope to see in more of our leading men who travel as interstate passengers on the railroads in the south. "Prof." Z. W. Mitchell of "Loyal Legion of Labor" notoriously (not to be desired), has again sprung into the lightemight with an interview for daily papers that is a "Negro scare," pure and simple. This time he halls from the northwest, which we trust, for its sake, will not harbor him as long as Ohio did, to its sname and sorrow. So our ministers and bishops in conference in Washington, D. C., week before last, refused a White House invitation to call on President Roosevelt! Thank the Lord, for this additional proof of real leadership, manhood and race loyalty. O, we are progressing and there have been plenty of indications of this fact in recent weeks. Again, thank the Lord! THAT CASH REGISTER COMPANY We notice from the continuous run of editors in The Cleveland Gazette, one of the most powerful Negro journals in the country, Hon. Harry C. Smith, the venerable editor and conference, is still hitting at the National Cash Register Co. of our city. We are by no means trying to defend the law, but it falls to the credit of being in the session of the "Gem City," but we must say the attack is unjust and misleading. It appears that one of the colored employees in the Cleveland office was discharged for some cause—yet the old reliable Gazette seems to want the impression to prevail that the discharged employee was a general instructions of the home company—Dayton (O. O.) Observer. The young Afro-American was discharged, so the agent here told him, "under general instructions" from headquarters, "the home company." at Dayton. He had worked about twenty-four hours when dismissed. After the repeated publication of our editorial, to which the Observer refers, he was sent for and re-employed. It is but within the week that we saw and again talked with him relative to the matter. Therefore the delay in replying to our esteemed comrade of the "Gem City" Observer. As to the remainder of our editorial relative to the National Cash Register Co., it is as correct as our statement relative to the Cleveland dismissal. Our business men have as much right (as well as an additional incentive) to patronize some other cash register company as the Dayton concern had to dismiss all of its Afro-American janitors a year or more age (some of whom had grown grey in its service) "to make places," as it announced, "for young white men who could work their way up in the business." It is more or less a private as well as public right with both our business men and the National Cash Register Co., it is true, but nevertheless it is a RIGHT each can exercise at will. The company receives thousands of dollars from the former every month and this large trade is entitled to more respect and better treatment than it received when those janitors were deflated and denied the right of advancement when capable and deserving simply because they were not white. A9 TO COWARDS! Many leaders of the Negro race refuse to come out in the open for Senator Foraker, because they do not think he will win. Cowards, we would waste upon them neither ink nor space. This kind, sooner or later, get what's coming to them. There are Negro offacebook, there are Negro oftheir work. Ingrates, they deserve the contempt of the Negro race and of all men. They will get theirs in time. Their plain duty is to come out where they belong and fight the good fight. The least they can do towards the right and proper is to extol their friend and their champion. This may be radical, but it often occurs that the ends of truth demand what the halting time-servers call radicalism. To those who in diseased kindness have suggested that overzeal in these undertakings and hopes are not consonant with success on to-morrow, we have a reply: We are not living for to-morrow. We know no expediency save the right, and we are in the right as God gives us to see it. We believe J., B. Foraker will be the next president of the United States. And if we did not believe this, our attitude would be unchanged. He is the greatest statesman of his day, the ablest member of his party, and the champion of human rights, the left to a sordid win, the right to a hard win, but until he loses or until we ourselves expire, we propose to hold him up to the world as one in whom there is neither gulle nor fear. We thank our friends, but when duty calls, we have no friends on error's side.—New York National Review. This has the right ring and is exactly what every manly, loyal and grateful member of the race subscribes to with all his or her heart. It is not a question of expediency but one of DUTY, regardless of the outcome, as far as the nomination of Senator Foraker is concerned, and we have no fear as to that. The time-serving, truckling, boodling and white master Negro, who is for Taft or Roosevelt in this contest, should have the finger of shame and scorn pointed at him even by our children. There is no necessity for discussing the reason, for every man, woman, and even the children of tender years, of the race, know it, and full well, too. This is the time when only Afro-American MEN and WOMEN should speak out as our bishops did recently at Washington, D. C., and the scullions of the race made to cower in their dens as curs do in their kennels or corners after a beating. Point the finger of scorn at every renegade Taft and Roosevelt Negro, be he office-holder or not, and teach them the much-needed lesson, whenever and wherever they are found. Let us stand together firm as Gibraltar, at least as firmly as he has stood for "The Black Battalion" and the race, for Senator Foraker for the republican presidential nomination, and success will surely crown our efforts at Chicago in the now very near future. All honor to the present day Charles Summer, SENATOR JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER. TWO MARRIAGES. The Dress Skating Party an Exceptional Event—Social, Personal, Church and Lodge Notes.

Foraker has introduced a bill authorizing the re-enlistment of the noncommissioned officers and enlisted men who constituted the battalion of Twenty-fifth infantry who were discharged without honor by the president on the theory that some of the members of the battalion shot up the town of Brownville, Tex., in August, 1906. The bill provides that any and all of the discharged men who made oath that they did not participate in the war should be allowed, did shall be permitted to re-enlist; that all the rights and privileges to which they were entitled shall be restored to them; and that their military record shall be cleared. Those advocates of a square deal for all men certainly have an opportunity to meet the issue or "take to the woods." A majority of the Republicans on the senate committee on military affairs have decided that there was not sufficient testimony to show that the soldiers shot up Brownville, and it is for the senate to say whether the benefit of the doubt or be forced to wear the badge of dishonor for the remainder of their natural work. for the remainder of their in some way, we believe this wrong will be righted and the men responsible for it given the condemnation that they so justly deserve.

HEADS IT — THE ROOSEVELT- TAFT ADMINISTRATION OUR WORST ENEMY — THE HARM IT HAS DONE US. The positive and notoriously hostile attitude of the government of our rep ublic toward its citizens of color under the present republican administration and the approach of the party nominating conventions in this year 1908 produce a crisis for one-eighth of the citizenship of these United States of America. The open alliance between the president and the nulli fiers of the constitution in the south constitutes the most flagrant collusion BISHOP WALTERS. between a republican president and the southern democrats since the emancipation of the American slaves 45 years ago today, save in the case of Andrew Johnson at the close of the civil war or of Rutherford B. Hays in the reconstruction it has remained for a present chief executive of the United States to prescribe in official documents an inferior grade of education for one class of citizens, and to thus officially brand that class as concealers of criminals and as rapists, while the defaming and discharging in disgrace of more than a hundred soldiers, all colored, with a white face, in their own defense is a denial of justice and constitutional rights visited upon colored citizens unprecedented in our country's history. The placing of the nation's sanction upon the segregation of citizens for and because of color in public travel but completes the federal maltreatment of the colored citizens under the present republican administration, leaving him with rights, branded and in contempt. In view of these unusual and extraordinary conditions, in view of the attempt of the present czarocratic regime to perpetuate itself in power in imperial fashion; in view of the open candidacy for the republican party's nomination for the presidency who in his official position as a cabinet officer has in public speech in the south condoned their disfranchisement of citizens for color in admitted violation of the federal constitution, and who has supinely endorsed in toto the brutal and autocratic discharge of colored soldiers with one of a class which almost from necessity has for two generations by its solid support and with a loyalty that sacrifices friends, the chance to make terms with the enemy and even life itself, kept the republican party almost continuously in power, but one of the most distinguished invited to a national conference of colored men, and of avowed friends to be held in the city of Philadelphia, Pa., on the 7th day of April, 1908, to counsel together as to the wisest course to be pursued politically by the party, those those unrobbed of the ballot who are willing to use this weapon for the rights and liberties of their class, under the present abnormal condition of affairs. This conference will have special reference to what demands shall be made of political parties as to the national platform and most particularly to what candidates for the presidential nomination most deserve the support of the colored voters. Please come perpared to make a stand for equal rights and for constitutional liberty for all in these United States without regard to race, color or creed. ALEXANDER WALTERS, President Afro-American Council. WM. H. SCOTT, President Strategic League of Boston and Vicinity. WM. MONROE TROTTER. President New England Suffrage League. PRETTY HOT, THIS! Referring to E. W. B. Curry, of Urbana's Taft interview of several months ago, the Dayton (O.) Observer, of which Rev. J. G. Robinson of that city is editor, said in its January 4 issue. The Observer wishes to say that E. W. B. Curry fears for his job. He is a traitor to the interests of his people. The fool Negro or the fool white man who may chance to believe that this chinch-head professor represents the views of anybody save the insignificant views that creep into his cranium, that man can see this country, and of Ohio, are with Joseph Benson Foraker first, and last, and all the time. "Booker T. Washington, head of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institution, has lined up with the 'illy white' Republicans of Alabama, and is doing all in his power to send a white delegation to the Republican national convention. If he succeeds, this will be the first time in 40 years that Alabama failed to send any Negroes to the national convention." Gives Birth to Five! Steubenville, O.—Five children were born here last week Friday to Mr. and Mrs. George Campbell (white). He is a veteran of the Spanish-American war, and is a man of 31. His wife, whom he married here a year ago, is a woman of great height not more than 100 pounds. One of the children survives. OUR BISHOPS TAKE A FIRM STAND AGAINST PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND SEC. TAFT IN A RESOLUTION AND AN ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY, THAT MAKE LOYAL AF- RO-AMERICANS PROUD OF THEM. Washington, D. C.—The bishops of the A. M. E. church, in concluding their annual sessions at Metropolitan church here on February 18, 1908, adopted the following resolution, which was concurred in by the bishops of Zion A. M. E. and the C. M. E. churches who were also in session here during the year. "That we enter now and here our solemn protest against the monstrous injustice done 'The Black Battalion' by President Roosovelt when he discharged its 167 brave men without honor or trial of any kind and merely on a suspicion of their guilt in the Brownsville affray, and against the hardly less wrong done these same men by the cowardly, indignorment given by Mr. Secretary Taft to the huge injustice of the president. "That in consequence of the many sins of commission and omission of the Republican party against its faithful black contingent in the south, of its Lily. White movement and the white power of the movement by the present administration, of the unmerited and illegal punishment of the black battalion by the president and the approval of the same by his secretary of war, we, the colored ministers of the A. M. E, the A. M. E Zion, and the C. M. E. churches, of the United States, in Washington, as assailant of Washington, do hereby raise our voice in stern and solemn warning to the coming Republican national convention not to put in nomination for the presidency either. President Roosevelt or Secretary Taft on pain of having arrayed against either of those gentlemen at the polls next November the almost solid colored vote of the Signed by the following bishops: J.

Practical Fashions LADIES GIRL WARE Paris Pattern No. 2142, All Seams Allowed.—This is one of the most charming designs in a separate waist that has been seen in some time. The material is soft coral-jink messaline, and the removable chemisette is of cream-colored fillet lace. The wide bands outlining the square neck and wide armholes are of applique fillet lace and the cuffs of the three-quarter length sleeves are trimmed to match. The pattern is in six sizes—32 to 42 inches, bust measure. For 36 bust the waist requires 5% yards of material 20 inches wide, four yards 27 inches wide, 3½ yards 36 inches wide, or 2½ yards 42 inches wide; as illustrated seven-eighths yard of all over 18 inches 18 inches, and 3½ yards of applique band.

LADIES' WORK APRON. Paris Pattern No. 2269, All Seam Allowed.-Dotted or figured gingham, plain chambray, galatea, striped madras and even denim all develop well in this style. The apron will be found very useful while performing any little household duty such as dusting; the square pockets either side of the front being convenient for holding dusters and stowing away any little article that is found out of place while tidying up the room. The pattern is in four sizes—32, 36, 40 and 44 inches, bust measure. For 36 bust the apron requires $4\%$ yards of material 27 inches wide, or $3\%$ yards 36 inches wide. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to "Pattern Editor" office of this paper. The pattern is sure to give size and number of pattern. NAME..... ADDRESS.... "Deadheads" Defended. The managers of London theaters are trying to extinguish the "deadhead." They say that the number of people who get free tickets for theaters is on the increase. A "deadhead" has put the other side of the question to a representative of the Daily Graphic. He says: "We are jolly useful to the managers sometimes. It's like this: A manager produces a new piece. The public don't take to it all at once, perhaps, and if the manager didn't invite us he might as well close his theater. Instead of doing that, he fills it with us, and by degrees people notice that the theater is full every night, and they say to themselves that the piece must be doing good business, and then they pay to come in, and the theater manager smiles." Chilean Copper Mines. Chilean government official reports shows there have been 7,854 copper claims worked in Chile at different times, of which only 748 were worked during the last year. Many of these mines are rich in copper, but with the high price of labor and the poor transportation facilities few, if any, can be made to pay at the present low price of copper.

Polish women are now engaged at work on the dams now being constructed near Bredstedt, Schleswig, Prussia. They work as well as men and for less money. RESOLVED TO SNUB EVE. Mrs. Inthesiw Intended to Draw Social Line in Heaven. The minister had dropped in to tea, and the conversation had drifted through various channels to the question of whether or not we should know each other in heaven. Presuming that our physical beings would be perpetuated, and that recognition would be assured, the minister had asked various ones at the table among whom the Biblical characters they would be most interested in recognizing. Some mentioned one prophet and some another, but one lady, noted for her social exclusiveness, had not spoken. Turning to her the minister said: "And who would you like to meet in heaven, Mrs. Intheswim?" Mrs. Intheswim pursed her lips. "I really don't know," she said, "but there is one thing I do know, and that is that I shouldn't care to meet Eve. In fact, I don't know that I would speak to her if I did!" CURED HER CHILDREN. Girls Suffered with Itching Eczema—Baby Had a Tender Skin, Too—Relled on Cuticura Remedies. "Some years ago my three little girls had a very bad form of eczema. Itching eruptions formed on the backs of their heads which were simply covered. I tried almost everything, but failed. Then my mother recommended the Cuticura Remedies. I washed my children's heads with Cuticura Soap and then applied the wonderful ointment, Cuticura. I did this four or five times and I can say that they have been entirely creped. I have another baby who is so plump that the folds of skin on his neck were broken and even bled. I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and the next morning the trouble had disappeared. Mme, Napoleon Dupece, 41 Duluth St., Montreal, Que, May 21, 1907." Wonderful Phraseology. A party of American tourists who were comfortably established in a hotel in Germany discovered a new contribution to "English as she is spoke," only this time they found it in the written word. The building had been recently wired for electricity and under the bulbs in each room directions were posted in French, German and English. The French was irreproachable, the German nearly so. The English read as follows: "To open and shut the lightening electrical on, is requested to turn to the right hand. On going to bed it must be closed. Otherwise the lightening must be paid."

Sir: I beg to say that this year we had 349 acres of grain, consisting of 197 acres of spring wheat and 152 acres of oats. The average yield of wheat was 38 bushels per acre and oats 74 bushels. We were offered $1.00 per bushel for wheat and 50 cents for oats, making the acre values for the two crops $38.00 and $27.00 respectively. We also had 50 tons of hay worth $13.00 per ton, and 500 bushels of potatoes, worth 60 cents per bushel, the latter off 2¾ acres of ground. Our best yields this year were 167 acres of wheat, making 41 bushels per acre at $1.00 per bushel, would be $41.00 per acre; 47 acres of oats, yielding 95 bushels per acre were sold for 50 cents per bushel. Proceeds, $47.00 per acre. I might add that 50 acres of our oats were "stubbled in." During the spring of 1906, we hired about 300 acres broken by steam. We put in and harvested 55 acres of grain last year, did the remainder of our breaking, worked up the ground and seeded this year's entire crop, put in seven acres of alfalfa and five acres of garden potatoes, trees, etc., all with one four-horse team. During harvest we hired other teams, but, aside from this, and part of the breaking, the one team did the work of raising practically 19,000 bushels of grain, worth $12,000. Yours truly, W. H. PAWSON, JR. WINTER WHEAT 25 TO 30 BUSH ELS TO THE ACRE IN SOUTH- ERN ALBERTA. Warner, Alta, Canada, Jan. 9, 1908. Dear Sir: This is the first year of farming in this settlement. Mr. A. L. Warner raised twenty-five hundred and fifteen bushels of fine winter wheat on one hundred acres of breaking and Tenny brothers had sixty acres that went thirty bushels per acre. The winter wheat that is in this year looks fi ne. Spring wheat here went thirty bushels per acre, oats fifty to eighty, barley fifty, and flax ten to fifteen on sod. The settlers here are all well pleased with the country. The stock have not required any feed except the grass up to this date and are all fat. Yours truly, F. S. LEFFINGWELL.

Y., is President of the Young People's Christian Temperance Association. She writes: "Peruna is a certainly valuable nerve and blood remedy, calculated to build up the broken-down health of worn-out clothes. Peruna is a wonderful persistence that it acts as a wonderful restorer of lost strength, assisting the stomach to assimilate and digest the food, and building up worn-out tissues. In my work I have had occasion to recommend it freely, especially to women." "I know of nothing which is better to build up the strength of a young mother, in fact, all the ailments peculiar to women, so I am pleased to give it my heart endorsement."

Clarice Lethbridge felt herself to be the most unhappy and forlorn of women. "My dear," she told her best friend plaintively, "I am a neglected wife." Leah Athelstane laughed derisively. The next day, at the conventional hour for drinking tea, two very well groomed, smartly gowned young wom en descended from a most, correct broughtham before the entrance of a fashionable apartment store. "You are a pampered and much spoiled little beauty," she retorted. Clarice made mournful eyes. She looked very interesting under sorrow. "John cares for nothing but his stupid old office and ridiculous deals in stocks and bonds." "Which same ridiculous deals pay for all your absurd extravagances," her friend replied. "But a woman would not need to be extravagant if she were properly understood. I buy things just to pass away the time. Now if John only had a soul I should not want to spend my days in accumulating expensive tuffles." Leah sighed resignedly. "Which means, I suppose, that you have met some man with a soul. Beware of him, Clare, souls are horribly dangerous things." "I cannot beware of him, he is too beautiful." Mrs. Lethbridge looked ecstatic. "Fancy caring for a beautiful man," scoffed the sensible one. "I know it," agreed Clarice, "I always thought I preferred the athletic type, but Svenreski is so overwhelming. His hair and those fierce, wild eyes make one forget his shoulders and lack of height." Leah sat up peremptorily. "Don't you pretend to tell me," she retorted, "that you have succumbed to the evil influence of that ill-bred little piano player." "But I am telling you just that, Leah darling. Now don't be a horrid cat. He is rather crazy about me, too. He said my throat was like the first flush of dawn. How could a woman help loving a man capable of such delicious compliments? Imagine John ever saying anything nice like that." "I cannot imagine John's ever being such a fool," sniffed Miss Allstelane. "He would throw me a check across the table and say I was looking nice enough to deserve a new frock. That is John's vulgar habit." "Do you ever toss back the check?" inquired Leah. "Of course not, he wouldn't take it, and besides, I make it a rule never to fuss over money matters." "Poor John! But what do you want me to do about this idiotic affair?" "You must go with me to his apartment." ment." "Clarice!" "Now don't shout like that and stare as if I was suggesting something shocking. I am extremely interested in a man of great genius, and nothing is more natural than that I should desire to see him among his own familiar belongings, in his home. John would not mind a bit, I feel sure, he always gives me my own way." "Then he can go with you to call on Svenreski." Clarice assumed an expression of patient tolerance. "You know very well that John would kill every speck of romance in the situation. Sentiment cannot lift its head in John's atmosphere." "It is too bad about sentiment. I myself, do not think much of such a delicate plant." "But you will go with me?" coaxingly. "And you should be very much ashamed of yourself for even thinking of such a thing." Miss Athlestane was gathering her forces for the well-deserved lecture which circumstances seemed to demand, but catching sight of a thought,ful look in the eyes of Clarice, she paused doubtfully. "I think it will be all right to take Amelie. Of course she will talk to the other servants, but who cares for kitchen gossip." Leah sank back vanquished. "You are the most impossible creature on earth," she scolded. "But why? An aching heart, like a drooping flower, will yearn for its sun." "Bosh! When do you wish to make this plious pligrimage?" "To-morrow afternoon if you have nothing else to do." "I have a thousand things more important than playing chaperon to a mad woman and a fool, but I suppose it is my plain duty to save you from yourself." "You darling!" clarice smothered her friend with effusive caresses. "It will be just too romantic for anything, and perfectly proper also, with you along. Indiscretion could not live within a thousand miles of you, and if there is anything I do love, it is to be thrilled and on my good behavior all at the same time." "You silly little madcap," murmured Leah helplessly. "Of course I am, but I am also very pretty and quite irresistible." Clarice ended with such a funny little tos of her head that Leah was forced to laugh and began to enter into the spirit of their adventure. Clarice nouted THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1908. my youth, good-by! my youth, good-by! is not for long; mother the sigh— it's as true and strong if for a chum? say I— my youth, good-by! and a Genius Ten Hicks The next day, at the conventional hour for drinking tea, two very well-groomed, smartly gowned young women descended from a most correct brougham before the entrance of a fashionable apartment store. Once inside the shop, the smaller and more frivolous looking of the couple, seized her companion's arm and hurried her through to a rear entrance which led upon a shabby side street. The girls turned down town, passing several tenements, which Leah regarded with evident disgust. At the corner of the block a dingy, graystone flathouse raised its five stories into the air, with the seeming effect of being better than its neighbors. "Not a remarkably prepossessing place," commented Leah. "Oh, Svenreskli would never live in one of our new, ornate, gilt and marble atrocities. He told me so," said Mrs. Lothridge, lifting her dainty skirts preparatory to ascending the stairs. Leah silently thought that she would just as soon live in a gift and marble atrocity as in one made up of oilcloth and wood stained to resemble golden oak, but she saved her breath J. M. Clarice Seized Leah's Wrist with Dramatic Gesture. for the climb before them, five long, steep flights of steps. At the top Clarice paused with uplifted hand. "Hark! His voice!" she whispered ecstatically, but in another moment her expression changed to one of bewilderment. "His voice was raised in snarling accents, plainly indicative of ill-temper. "Two loaves of bread!" he shrieked, and then repeated this statement in a still louder tone: "What could any reasonable woman do with two big loaves on one little day?" "One was a stale loaf, father, and I got it to stuff your goose. You remember you had to have goose." At the word "father" Clarice seized Leah's wrist with a dramatic gesture. "Of course I had to have goose. How could I play and enchant all the sillies if I have not just such viands as my delicate appetite craves? But because I am dalty in my tastes, difficult at table, is no reason why you should squander my few, poor, head-earned dollars on bread and salt and such things as I care not for," he screamed, and the girls could hear him stamping up and down the room within. By this time Leah's astonishment had given way to mirth. "You have hardly chosen an opportunity moment to drop in upon your hero for a cup of tea," she whispered to Clarice. "He is not in a mood for dispensing hospitality." "Ssh!" returned Mrs. Lethbridge, creeping nearer to the partially open door. Leah followed. The next instant Clarice turned and fled precipitately down the long, steep stairs and out upon the dingy street, as though possessed by something terrifying. "Did you see his daughter?" she gasped, when Leah, with less haste, rejoined her. Miss Athelstane could not speak for laughing. "She was 40 if she was a day," cried the indignant Clarice. "He must be several years older than your 'stupid old John,'" said her friend. "How dare you speak of John like that. He is a dear, and a Generous darling, and I am going home now to fall in love with him all over again. I will tell you what it is, Leah, there is nothing like becoming familiar with other men to make a woman appreciate her own husband, so I shall keep right on flirting as hard as I can."

The greatest drawback to the hog industry which breeders in this country have to contend with is what is known as "hog cholera" and "swine plague." Hog cholera is a highly contagious disease and unless checked is liable to carry off a great number of hogs in a very short time. Mr. A. P. W. Williams, of Burnetta Creek, Ind., tells of an experience which he had with some hogs that had the cholera. "Five years ago," says Mr. Williams, "I was in the employ of Mr. J. D. Richardson, Lafayette, Ind., as his barn foreman. Some fine hogs that I was feeding took the cholera. I gave them Sloan's Liniment and did not lose a hog. Some were so bad they would not drink sweet milk and I was compelled to drench them. I have tried it at every opportunity since and always find it O. K."

The telephone in police headquarters rang. "Is this the police station?" inquired a woman's voice. "It is," said C. E. McVey, the desk seaman. "Oh, I wish you all'd send the patrolm wagon over to Fourth and Oak streets right away. Ole Bill's got drunk again and he's just raising Cain. And say," the voice added, "if you all don't send that wagon mighty quick you all might as well send a hearse, 'cause I'm goin' to hit that fool nigger in a minute." The wagon made a "hurry" run, but returned empty a few minutes later. The driver reported that he could find no trouble.—Kansas City Star.

The surgeon's duties require clear judgment and a steady hand. A slip or an unnecessary incision may do irreparable dmage to the patient. When he found that coffee drinking caused his hands to tremble, an Ills. surgeon conscientiously gave it up and this is his story. "For years I was a coffee drinker until my nervous system was nearly broken down, my hands trembled so I could hardly write, and insomnia tortured me at night. "Besides, how could I safely perform operations with unsteady hands, using knives and instruments of precision? When I saw plainly the bad effects of coffee, I decided to stop it, and three years ago I prepared some Postum, of which I had received a sample. "The first cupful surprised me. It was mild, soothing, delicious. At this time I gave some Postum to a friend who was in a similar condition to mine, from the use of coffee. "A few days after, I met him and he was full of praise for Postum, declaring he would never return to coffee but stick to Postum. We then ordered a full supply and within a short time my nervousness and consequent trembling, as well as insomnia, disappeared, blood circulation became normal, no dizziness nor heat flashes. "My friend became a Postum enthusiast, his whole family using it exclusively. "It would be the fault of the one who brewed the Postum, if it did not taste good when served. "The best food may be spoiled if not properly made. Postum should be boiled according to directions on the pkg. Then it is all right, anyone can rely on it. It ought to become the national drink."

Y., says: "Five years ago I had a bad fall and it affected my kidneys. Severe pains in my back and hips became constant, and sharp twinges followed any exertion. The kidney secretions were badly discolored. I lost flesh I had a old man, it affected my kitties. Severe pains in my back and hips became constant, and sharp twinges followed any exertion. The kidney secretions were badly discolored. I lost flesh and grew too weak to work. Though constantly using medicine I despaired of being cured until I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills. Then relief came quickly, and in a short time I was completely cured. I am now in excellent health." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Damage Done by Rats "The western farmer is waking up to a realization of the fact that he is, as the agricultural department told him some time ago, losing not less than $100,000,000 a year from rats," says J. H. Van Burden, a Milwaukee grain merchant. "It costs about 50 cents a year to feed a rat. We know this because we have boxed them up and fed them as much grain as they would eat for a year. It is a conservative estimate to place our rat population at 150,000,000. About one-third of them live in the large cities, where they do not get so much grain." MIX FOR RHEUMATISM. A prominent specialist gives the following as a never falling remedy for rheumatism, and says if followed up it will effect a complete cure of the very worst cases. "Mix one half pint of good whiskey with one ounce of Toris Root Compound, and add one ounce Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take in tablespoonful doses before each meal and at bed time." Toris Root Compound is a product of the Globe Pharmaceutical Co., Dayton, O. The ingredients can be procured at any drug store and easily mixed at home. Cause for Alarm. A young man had been courting a girl for nine years. "Jennie," he said, one evening, "I read the other day that in 50,000 years Niagara falls would dry up." Jennie clutched his arm excitedly, "Why, what's the matter?" he asked. "Why, you promised to take me there on our bridal trip. Don't you think you had better be a little careful that it does not dry up before we get there?" Billion Dollar Grass.
