TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 39. TWO COIFFURES THE HAIR IN UNION REPRESENTING TWENTY-FIFTH TWO CO A bandau of black velvet with a large aligrete fastened with a silver ornament. MODEL FOR "POLLY" GOWN. Simple Costume That Can Be Made Extremely Pretty. "Polly" gowns are much prettier than their extreme simplicity would seem to warrant in these days of elaborate gowning. The original is a simple muslin coating not more than 12 cents a yard, sprigged with tiny clusters of roses. There is a nine-inch straight ruffle around the bottom and at either side of the seven rows of shirring across the front breadth is a group of finely-lay plains, not more than five inches deep. The bodice is a round waist with the neck closely shirred, and plains like those in the skirt extending in yoke fashion from shoulder to shoulder. The sleeves are puffs gathered in at the wrists. The touch of modernism is found in the arrangement of the sash of flowered ribbon, which is caught slightly above the waistline, giving the merest suggestion of an empire effect. This same model is being made up extensively in pretty flowered silks and trimmed with bands of velvet ribbon, with ruchings of narrow silk ribbon and with lace. Naturally enough they lose their simplicity of detail by this treatment, but it is retained in the outline and is one of the favorite models for the softer fabrics. Many Shapes In Hats. Happily, the choice of mullery is considerable this season. We are not tied down to one shape, as we were last summer, when 99 in every 100 women appeared in huge mushroom cloche. It is strange that many fashionable women remain true to the shape. But the millers do not recommend that the woman who has to economize, invest in cloche shapes this spring, as this style has been done to death, and it is impossible for it to female in style much longer. The cloche shape, slightly turned up in front and at one side, continues to be amazingly popular, and this shape is wonderfully becoming. The upturned brim allows the hair to be seen to advantage, and attractive effects may be gained by an artistic arrangement of soft feathers around the crown. Looks. There is a certain demoralizing element in a certain when woman allows herself to look slovenly, and no matter in what manner she is employed she must learn to keep herself physically and mentally in good condition. During the social season probably every woman takes good care of her appearance, and, particularly of her hands and face. But when wealthier friends go out of town and enervating weather tends to bring carelessness in many duties, how many women realize the necessity of continuing the strict course of treatment they have followed during the winter? Yet if the skin is to look well next fall it must not be neglected during the spring and summer. Remember that, and do not subject it to rough usage. Most Fashionable Silks Without doubt the most fashionable silks for spring and summer street wear will be foulard and Shantung. The foulard silks are finer and more supple of wear than ever and are adaptable to the present style of dress where many plats, numerous folds and wide skirts require a texture of chiffon weight to give the necessary lightness and grace of line. The pretty colt-down foulards which make up so effectively are shown in white dots on navy and Copenhagen blue grounds, on tan, gray and black, as well as blue and black dots on white grounds. Styles In Laces. Colored laces are gaining favor, in shades of dark blue, browns, grays, greens, violet, etc. Filet lace, guipure, Irish crochet, the new Irish fillet lace are all in favor. Gold and silver fillet lace, handsome embroidered, is used for trimming evening dresses. Work Dress A pretty work dress is made of chambray in pink or gray-blue with trimming bands of white. It is cut on the simple kimono lines, the front and back sections being gathered to the straps at the shoulders and neck, and also into the belt at the waist line. THE GAZETTE The hair is dressed low and a long wreath of roses twisted in and out "a la Lamballe." BETTER THAN FAMILY ALBUM. Folding Book Made of Satin Ribbon Combined with Canvas. To preserve cherished "photos" and replace the family album, take two long pieces of satin ribbon, eight inches wide, and lay them together with an interlining of tailor's canvas. Leave space wide enough for cabinet photos and between the spaces run two rows of machine stitching an inch apart, across the ribbons. In the place for the face of each photo cut a cross through the inner satin, with the scissors held towards the corners, within an inch of the stitching. Cut off a good part of the flaps, turn under and cross down. Slide in the photos at open side of ribbon and catch the satin edges together with blind stitching. This makes a folding book, which might hold four to six photographs. May be wrapped and tied with narrow ribbons attached, or it may stand open on the dresser or mantel to display the pictures. With a little measuring you can make the openings just the size to show the photographs to advantage. When the book is first folded, set a weight on it to crease in regular leaves. It is safe to predict that the fad of finger puffs is nearing an end, and that milady's cofure in the near future will once more present a pretty and natural appearance in place of the artificial and trying elaborately dressed hair. From the more fact that a yard or so of puffs may be purchased at any well-regulated notion counter for a sum below the dollar mark comes the conclusion that their day is done for the ultra fashionable. This passing of puffs is a thing to be hailed with joy. The long rows of sausage-like excrescences, usually several shades "off" the rest of the cofure, and also often dull and dry looking, while the rest of the hair is a bit, at least, glossy, are an eyesore. Especially is this true when through the separate strands of the pompadour one catches glimpses of a "rat" or hair roll of a still different shade. The dainty accessory here shown can be applied to any passe waist with good effect. The shoulder pieces and sleeve caps are of heavy flet lace, the edges being trimmed in a conventional design the color of which it were well to make a contrast to the waist with which it will be worn. Velvet ribbons run across the front and are drawn to empire height at the back. The buckles are made of heavy buckram covered with cloth of gold and topped with the heavy net. Cherry Tints. The cherry tints are favored among reds for spring and summer wear and promise to have a great vogue. Charming silks and sheer fabrics are being brought out in cherry and coral tones and touches of both appear in the new millinery. It is essentially a spring color and loops of cherry ribbon as a background on a flower or feather-trimmed hat will be most effective, particularly to the dashing brunette or to the blonde who needs a bright color to reflect roses into her cheeks. New Foulards. The newest foulards show the usual ring and dot design, as well as geometric ornamentations, with a ground that is crossed with stripes. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1908. STRONG PROTEST TO WHOLE COUNTRY! FEDERAL INJUSTICE AND DIS CHARGE OF TROOPS RE- SENTED. FORAKER OUR ONLY CHOICE Taft Likened to Vardaman and Till man, in Favoring Negro Disfranchisement. Philadelphia, Pa.—The national Afro-American political conference, which ended here on the 9th, is regarded by the leaders of the two great political parties as significant because of the extreme earnestness of the men who came from 37 states of the north, south and west. The assemblage comprised bishops and ministers of the extreme left, the liberal left and a remnant of old civil war soldiers. Few among the delegates could be classed as Democrats. The convention was called to protest against the discharge of our soldiers and the continued discrimination against our voters by federal office holders in the south. Zion Baptist, church was held with the public women, who cheered and mplaused those who denounced the discharge of "The Black Battalion" from the army by President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft without trial or court-martial. They cheered former Congressman George H. White, the presiding officer, who was the last Afro-American elected (from North Carolina) to congress. He said the race would never support the Republican white candidate. Roosevelt and Taft were its leaders. The building shook with the thunderous demonstration that followed the declaration of the Rev. J. Milton Waldron of Washington: "We say to Mr. Taft: 'We can't dare to trust you with the liberties of the eighty millions of people in the country. You not allowed to be the white. We refuse to place the government in your hands.'" Bishop Alexander Walters. Every hand in the church and every voice responded to the Rev. S. L. Coryrthers of Washington when he exclaimed: "If the federal office holders force Taft upon us we will bury him so deep that Gabriel's trumpet won't wake him." To the charge that Negroes opposing Taft were Democrats James H. Hayes, Esq. editor of The Richmond (Ve.) St. Luke's Herald, said: "If we must have the stigma of 'Democrat,' then let us march to the polls and be Democrats this time, rather than submit to the insult that has been put upon our race by the president of the United States." The Address to The Country. The following address to the Negro voters in the United States was adopted by a unanimous vote: As a people we are facing a serious political crisis, and it is time for us to be alert to resist injury and to grasp advantages. Our civil and political rights, contrary to the fundamental law of the nation, have been ruthlessly taken from us in the south, and have been disregarded, that section in the form of peonage, which is almost as vicious as the old slavery. The army record of our soldiers, unsullied for a hundred years, and of which every Negro is proud, has been disregarded and 167 brave soldiers have been arbitrarily dismissed from the service without honor and who deserved it. A citizen of the republic we come back again to Philadelphia, the cradle of liberty, to try to generate a sentiment that will clasp into unity the scattered forces of the nation that are trying to beat back the rising tide of contempt for the constitution. We come to issue another declaration of independence. The spirit which brings us together here in the city of Philadelphia in 1908 is the same spirit which brought the signers of the decry of the Constitution. It is taxation without representation was unjust in the days of Patrick Henry, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, taxation without representation is unjust now. If it was wrong to condemn and punish men without trial then, it is wrong now. If it was true in those days that all men were born free and essentially equal in human rights and possessions, it is true now. Classification is just as invidious now as they were when brave little America struck for her freedom. We are fighting laws and executive rulings that discriminate against a man because of his race or color. We are fighting the sentiment that apolloys rulings. We ought to have such laws and rulings. We ought to have such laws and on every Negro leader with a spunk of self-assertion in him in America for support. We are in the midst of a perilous crisis and the Negro who does not come forward and call for justice for his people at this time is a soul-mimicking creature whom no crisis would acuse and no duty inspire. We have had enough of the dreary drip of doleful declamation about the Republican party freeing us. We have long ago paid them with interest the debt we wee them. We have come to the years of manhood as a people. Hereafter we will only support the Republican party when it puts up a fit candidate. We will not support any man who justifies or apologizes for southern disfranchisement. Secretary Taft sees a turn for the business. Our southern disfranchisement laws. In any case, it is different from Vardaman and Tillman. He has justified President Roosevelt's rash outrage in discharging our soldiers without honor and without trial. Even Tillman has not done this. President Roosevelt's act in discharging those soldiers without trial was a cruel injustice. Our southern disfranchisement laws are bad—all of them. There is not one single praiseworthy section in any of them. They disfranchise 95 per cent of the colored race in the country. They are all perilous in principle and mischievous in operation, and ought to be condemned without mercy or quibble. To make stealing legal does not make stealing moral, as Mr. Taft seems to think, and the man has not sound national ideas who looks at things in this way. For these reasons we cannot support President Roosevelt or Secretary Taft if either one gets the nomination, for we see little difference between a Democratic nominee and a Republican nominee of an administration in open alliance with our enemies. We heartily indorse the candidacy of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker for the presidency. If Senator Foraker quits the race, which we hope will not happen, we will support any other genuine Republican who has not shown himself intimical to our rights. We demand that our soldiers be reinstated in the army and restored to their ranks without prejudice and without loss. To the end of the chapter we beg for the right to be responsible for their discharge. We want congress to pass the Foraker soldier bill. We want the electoral tyranny of the white south dragged from its palsied hands. We will fight anybody who apologizes for or justifies southern dischernishment. We want to see a strong Republican party built up in the south, but we are unalterably opposed to illy-whiteism as a means to that end. The men who have been stalwart and loyal Republican for a half century at great risk have fought enough to be brushed aside to encourage the life white movement. We protest the seating of delegates in the national Republican convention elected by conventions which drew the color line. We demand that peonage be wiped out in the south. We beg to call the attention of the Republican congress to the fact that the black man in the south is a peon as well as the foreigner and we feel that we are at least entitled to as much consideration as the man who has only recently come to our shores. We demand the policy of a president dictating his successor in office, and the domination of the judicial and legislative branches of the government by the executive. We must insist that no alliance be made in this campaign, save an alliance of freedom and equality, and no peace that does not rest on the safe and permanent basis of equal and exact justice between man and man. We must all that belongs to you in Mage Arthur Clement We are in earnest. We cannot be bulldozed. We cannot be bought off. And, under God, we will be heard!

Cadiz, O. —There was quite an interesting meeting of the Foraker club recently, and the following resolutions, introduced by B. S. Lee, were unanimously adopted: "Whereas the Taft wing of the Republican party of Ohio, by its systematic efforts, and the strong hand of Boss Cox of Cincinnati (whom Mr. Taft taved (?) so dearly two years ago have done all in their power to eliminate public life our brilliant and able senior senator, Hon. Joseph B. Foraker; and Whereas, the aforesaid elimination is based largely on his gallant and determined defense of the rights and interests of the oppressed of all nationalities, to secure for them justice where justice is due, and punishment where punishment is proven to be due, therefore. Resolved. That we, the seventy-five bona fide voters of the Cadiz Foraker club, testify anew our sincere appreciation of his splendid services on the behalf of our so often defenseless race, and of the oppressed everywhere; and. Resolved. That at every opportunity at the polls we prove our allegiance to all of our brave defenders in the cause of right. Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be given to The Gazette, to our local papers and a copy sent to Senator Foraker. W. H. LUCAS, President. Miss Nellie Jackson of Cleveland. O.

THINGS GOING FORAKERWARD VERY FAST—HE NAMES THE REAL ISSUE. SENATOR'S BRILLIANT SPEECH! The Senator Rightfully Classed with Garrison, Phillips, Beecher and Sumner. Senator Foraker at present is enjoying the certain knowledge that his elimination from Ohio politics will proceed from the Democratic party, if at all, and not from the Tatt-Cox combination at present exercising a temporary sway, with the aid of Mr. Roosevelt's appointees to office. It is asserted with every indication of truth that Tatt people who have been voicerefers about his corporate entanglements, to abate his fight against the Tatt-Cox alliance and succeed himself in the senate. He also sees the triumph of his contest for simple justice in the Brownsville matter, and now he foresees the need to unite him and sure solution of the too expansive scope of the Sherman law will be enacted, or none. Things are going Forakerward fast, unless the Democrats are able to retire their old time enemy—Pittsburg (Pa.) Post. FORAKER NAMES REAL ISSUE. FORAKER NAMES REAL ISSUE. "It is not essential that I go back to the senate from Ohio," says Senator Foraker, "but it is essential that the people should be allowed to select their own candidates for president, untrammeled and without interference from demilitarization." Senator Foraker has left a Republican that the main issue to be settled decisively in the Chicago convention is whether a president of the United States shall be supported in picking out his successor and enforcing his desire by the misuse of public offices. The declaration is made that Senator Foraker has directed his contest more against President Roosevelt and the tactics he has permitted and sanctioned on the part of federal office holders. "The candidate" selected for the presidency than it is against Taft personally. Senator Foraker has told his friends that he will have nothing to do with any overtures at this late day looking toward peace between himself and the Roosevelt federal crowd. HE WILL HAVE A SEAT IN THE OHIO CONVENTION PROBABLY BY SUBSTANTIATE OF SOME OHIO DELEGATE, AND HE WILL HAVE A SEAT IN THE DISGRACEFUL TACTICS EMPLOYED BY OFFICE HOLDERS IN ORGANIZING COUNTY, DISTRICT AND STATE CONVENTIONS IN THE SOUTH. It is very generally recognized that the factional feeling aroused in Ohio is the bitterest that can be recalled, and Senator Foraker realizes that it cannot now be patched,up. No action of his could get friends around to the party, and he would be called strife now going on between Ohio Republican party to consider in the selection of a candidate for president. No one appreciates this fact. any better than does Senator Foraker, and he knows, furthermore, that the country is not going to stand for the scandalous politics of the instigation of Hitchcock the south at the acquiescence, if not approval, of President Roosevelt.—Alexander City (Ala.) Southern American. FORAKER'S BRILLIANT SPEECH. FORAKER'S BRILLIANT SPEECH. In standing stably for human rights, even where the humble colored race is concerned, Senator Foraker is subjected to a great deal of vituperation and misrepresentation on the part of the political powers that be." This is the Green Party's Boer and Sumner; but they are importals while their calumniators slumber in forgotten graves. All the administration abuse heaped on the eloquent and fearless Ohio senator only serves to increase his popularity and prestige among the race whose rights he champions, and if Roosevelt and Taft be nominated, the Foraker influence will be feared more by the authors or abettors of the Brownsville outrage than that of any other statesman. In the day the galleries were packed with Negroes, and his speech caused uproars of applause. The vice president tried in vain to quiet them, and when he ordered the galleries cleared, the dusky occupants hooted, and for seven minutes cheered for Foraker. Roosevelt would have been the proudest man in the country to have received such an ovation, but he and Taft were the chief objects of their disfavor. The speaker repudiated the libel that he was dominated in his course by personal hostility to the president and the senator. The senator foraker's brilliant address in behalf of the rights of the Negroes may be gathered from his persecution: "They are typical representatives of a race that has ever been loyal to America and American institutions; a race that has never raised a hostile hand against our country's flag; a race that has contributed to the nation tens of millions of defenders, not one of whom has ever trained or faltered in his fidelity. "Faithfully, uncomplainingly, with pride and devotion, they have performed all their duties and kept all their obligations. They ask no favors because they are Negroes, but only for justice because they are men." Brownsville bids fair to be the Waterman to run the country for the next four years.—Troy (N. Y.) Press (Dem.) $200,000 for Hampton Institute. Pittsfield, Mass.—Miss Alice Byington, late of Stockbridge, whose inventory was filed on the 14th in the probate court, left an estate of $453.50 invested in stocks and bonds.

Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature. 1894 to 1897 1898 to 1898 1900 to 1902 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 Mrs. Patricia Robinson's communication elsewhere in this paper is a gem worthy of a careful reading, and thought. Senators Borah's and Warner's efforts the past week to reply to Senator Foraker's great speech of last week were puerile. Congressman Griggs (Dem.) of Georgia says "Negro distranchisement is necessary in the south for white control." In effect, that is exactly what Secretary Taft said in his Greensboro, N. C., speech of 1906, and at several places here in the north this year! The address to the country of the Philadelphia conference, published on our first page, is an exceptionally able and clearly stated presentation of facts relative to the race, to which we all subscribe, and it will pay those who will guide the national Republican convention work at Chicago in June to heed. Senator Foraker has been compelled to decline the unanimous invitation of the Ohio legislature to address it, because of the need of his presence daily in the senate to watch the impending "Brownsville" legislation. Thus does another Roosevelt-Taft scheme die early. They ought to have known better. This has been another bad week—the third in succession—for the Taft candidacy. Last and this week Arizona, Arkansas and other states north and south refused to elect delegates favorable to him, and the outlook is therefore very bad indeed, we are pleased to say. It will, too, continue to grow worse for Roosevelt's candidate from now on until the Chicago convention in June. The New York Age's attack upon Mr. Oliver Randolph, secretary of the Foraker National league, is not justifiable from any fair viewpoint and will not harm him near as much as it will that paper, in the estimation of all fair-minded people who read it. We did not think Editor Moore would do such an uncalled for thing. It looks very much as if he is allowing his subsidized desire to promote the fast waning Taft boom to run away with his better judgment. The Afro-American waiters were recently barred from the Tippecanoe club banquet hall while Secretary "Distranchissement-Jim Crow Car" Taft was speaking, and at the close of his speech they were asked to enter and shake hands with him—something only three or four out of about 40 would do. Furthermore, Afro-American Republicans were refused admittance as guests, and Lyman H. Treadway, Taft Republic candidate for governor of Ohio, is president of the club. This is not the first time Taft and the club have drawn the color line either. Our contemporaries do not seem to notice the fact that in every instance, south and north, where the color line is drawn in politics against Afro-American Republicans, it is done by the supporters of Taft and Roosevelt. Strange isn't it? Take the recent Virginia state "Republican" convention for instance. Afro-American delegates were refused admission to the convention and the slogan raised that the Republican party of Virginia is a white man's party. All this was done under Taft auspices, and was occurring when the president issued his "grand stand" manifesto regarding "Jim Crow" cars, as an appeal to our vote. It will, however, be a vain one. BURTON'S TREASON. A Washington dispatch brings the interesting information that Mr. Burton, a representative in congress from the city of Cleveland, has openly and above board declared himself against building a nuclear power plant in his remarks to the reporters (and in a speech the other day in congress) that one battleship is all we ought to build for the present. Mr. Burton is not the only man who feels that way. He is not the only representative in congress who feels that nuclear power is nothing but his statement. It is simply in harmony with the views of other men, but the strangeness is that Mr. Burton should venture to dispute the infallibility of Theodore Roosevelt, when it is notorious that to question Mr. Roosevelt's infallibility is treason, and to even think it is constructive treason. Mr. Roosevelt wants money enough to build four battleships. The house naval committee has decided not to report favor of more than two. Mr. Burton, who is the president of the board, What will the president do with Mr. Burton? He repudiated Senator Foraker and ordered his elimination from public life because Mr. Foraker ventured to disagree with his royal nib on the Brownsville affair, the joint statehood of Arizona and New Mexico, and the Hepburn bill. Why should he not repudiate Mr. Burton and order the federal officeholders in Mr. Burton's district to eliminate him from his life? Why single out Mr. Foraker alone to dictate the wrath of his royal highness?—Sandusky (O.) Daily Register. Because Senator Foraker proved his (Roosevelt's) master, and was RIGHT in each of the controversies (particularly the Brownsville matter) mentioned by Editor Mack of the Register. Congressman Burton has proven a willing assistant of the president in every thing else except this naval matter and possibly the ship subsidy movement. Indeed, he has been too active for his own good, as it proved last fall and may again prove this fall, in the Roosevelt-Taft movement to eliminate Senator Foraker from the United States senate and public life. If this latter results in making the senator president next year he will have some one else beside our people to thank, but in a different spirit. THE EFFORT OF A CAREERS Senator Foraker's Defense of "The Black Battalion"—No Such Ovation in Years. (Special to The Gazette.) (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.-Senator Foraker's speech last week Tuesday was made under, perhaps, the most remarkable circumstances that ever surrounded an effort in the senate. As is well known the Ohio senator for many months has devoted his days and nights to the Brownville episode, and to the effort to restore to the discharged soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry their rights. His health has suffered greatly in consequence of the hard work he has done. His wife and family saw him go to the senate to make the address, one of the supreme efforts of his life, with great apprehension for his health. They feared that he might collapse on the floor of the senate and die before the speech was finished. For that reason arrange-ment, care and support for the family's family physician, Dr. Hardy, and his assistant, both at hand in case of need. The galleries were so extremely crowded that the only place that could be found for them was in the press gallery, and they occupied seats there while Senator Foraker was speaking. The speech was made unusual circumstances. Probably never has there been just such a spectacle in the senate. The floor of the chamber was crowded, most of the senators were in their seats, while the senate was crowded with members of the house, including Speaker Cannon for a time. But it was the galleries that furnished the strange feature and contrast. At one side of the chamber the special reserved galleries were crowded to the very doors with women in stylish and brilliant spring costumes. The galleries opposite were black with eager and attentive Negroes. They had come, not in mere feminine curiosity to taste a dramatic scene, but to hear the demonstration on the senate floor, however, that was the more striking. The vice president had no control over this. As soon as Senator Foraker sat down in some degree exhausted from his prolonged effort, senators began to crowd toward his seat. His colleague, Senator Dick, congratulated him first. One of the very first to reach him was Senator Hale. The latter shook the hand of some of his colleagues, who also seemed to please the latter greatly. Then others crowded up and it was said by old-times about the capitol that it had been many years since a speaker had received such an ovation. One of those to congratulate the Ohio senator was Senator Warner of Missouri, who has led the administration fight in the senate in the Brownville matter, and who expects to reply to Senator Foraker. Even some of the Democratic senators which were in his ear that seemed to please the latter able effort. And this is the MAN, our only outspoken friend and champion in the upper branch of the congress, whom some Negroes would deserve to support Taft, an outspoken enemy of the race! Great GOD!

The painting "The Resurrection of Lazarus" is already to be seen at the Luxembourg. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1908. THAT SAN JUAN CHARGE! The White Soldiers' Inglorious Retreat —How the Black Soldiers Saved the Day—"A Hot Time." Editor Gazette: I was much interested in The Gazette's account of the honors tendered the Twenty-fourth infantry at Buffalo, and it brought to mind their grand charge at San Juan, Cuba, as I had heard it described by one of the men who had been an actor in that fight with the Spaniards, and at the time (seven years ago) was drenched a pension on account of a wound received there. As I listened to his dramatic recital and saw his eyes shining with the excitement of the battle I could see, in imagination, the whole scene. The Seventy-first New York regiment, volunteers, (white) had been awarded the privilege of charging, and the Twenty-fourth were held in reserve. As the Twenty-fourth watched the Seventy-first go into battle, they rather enlisted them. But a soldier's obedience; so they waited with what patience they needed to the rear of the cannon and sharp crack of the rifle. Suddenly, back came the Seventy-first in wild disorder, panic-stricken. The Twenty-fourth thought the Spaniards must be right behind them. Their colonel demanded: "Where are the Spaniards?" but no man of the Seventy-first answered. They were too busy getting into the cannon, so time the commander of the Twenty-fourth tried to get some information from the retreating Seventy-first, but in vain. Turning to his men he said: "Come on, boys, we must find those Spaniards." The relator said: "We would charge through hell-fire and back again if our colonel said 'come.'" As the Twenty-fourth came into the cannon, the Twenty-fourth's commander said "drop!" They did so, allowing the Spaniards' fire to pass over them. He then commanded: "Advance by rushes!" This is, I believe, an exclusively American mode of attack. Before reaching the Spaniards' line the colonel of the Twenty-fourth was wounded, and of his men by wound in his hands started to help him back to the hospital tents. Suddenly the Afro-American stopped, listened a moment, and said: "Oh! colonel, our boys are to the top of the hill. They are singing 'A Hot Time In The Old Town' to let you know." The colonel listened a moment, and sure enough, clear and melodious above the roar of battle came the words of the Spanish-American war so much during the Spanish-American war that the Spaniards took it for our national hymn. Rightly is the race proud of its soldiers and rightly do they resent any attempt to disgrace those brave men. Yours truly. Bradford, Pa., News Rev.

COLORED SUDDENS MIDNIGHT ASSASSINES THE SQUARE DEAL DOOP OF HOPE TAFT DRAGS SOLDIERS BY NECK TO ROOSEVELT WHO KICKS THE M IN! ITS OFFICERS—WHY THE REPUBLICANS OF THE SOUTH ARE AGAINST ROOSE-VELT AND TAFT AND FOR FOR-AKER. Washington, D. C. The Foraker National league is composed of some of the most representative Afro-Americans, as the following partial list of its members will show: Ohio—Hon. Harry C. Smith, president, editor The Gazette. Alabama—H. V. Cashin of Decatur, attorney and leading Republican in northern Alabama. District of Columbia—Rev. George W. Lee pastor of Vermont Avenue Baptist church. Florida—John H. Dickerson, delegate-at-large to Republican national convention; grand master of Florida Masons. Mississippi — Hon. Sam P. Hurst, chairman Third congressional district Republican committee and member Republican state committee; a prominent real estate dealer. North Carolina — Rev. R. H. W. Leake, influential minister and leader. Raleigh. South Carolina — C. George Garret, editor The Light, Columbia. Tennessee — J. T. Settle, a leading lawyer of the south; substantial citizen of Memphis. Texas — William M. McDonald, chairman Republican state committee; prominent planter. Virginia — James H. Hayes, attorney and editor St. Luke's Herald, Richmond. West Virginia — Attorney J. R. Clifford, editor Pioneer Press, Martinsburg. The advisory committee is headed by Dr. E. W. Lampton, secretary of the financial department of the A. M. E. church, and grand master of Mississippi Masons. Oliver Randolph of Mississippi, secretary of the league, is in charge of the offices in the Capital Savings bank building, 609 F street, N. W. From this center, with branches throughout the south, a most vigorous and aggressive campaign will be kept up until all the delegates are elected. The league has great assurances of success. Already in southeastern states, the delegates have been elected, and Senator Foraker's friends have been successful in electing man who will vote for him at the national convention. This is true of the states of Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, Mississippi and Tennessee, Ohio, the senator's own state, has elected four delegates who will vote for him in the national convention. Virginia's "illy white" delegation, it was recent, cannot be taken, because the Republican national convention for the simple fact that the convention which claimed them was held in violation of the cardinal principles of the Republican party. Thus we see that right at this time, Senator Foraker has quite a following which is slowly but steadily and surely growing. There is no question but that he is the most popular presidential candidate and consequently should have the greatest influence. Secretary Taft is not at all popular in that section and even the few real Republicans who are office-holders are at heart against him and are hoping that the "referee system" of the south will be killed off by the opposition to Roosevelt and Taft. The Republicans of the south are opposed to the president because, as they see it, he has done all that he could do to discourage a publican party in section; while on the other hand, he has built up a office-holder's party composed of office-holders, who are termed "illy whites." Republicans who are attempting to corrupt the Republican party by introducing strange doe- trines from the Democratic party. The Republicans of the south are opposed to the president and quite naturally to Secretary Taft, the president's own choice, because they feel that four more years of ill jelly whism would frightfully impair and probably forever cripple the Republican party. They are against Roosevelt and Taft because of the Brownsville matter and side with Senators Joseph B. Foraker, Morgan G. Bulkeley, Nationalist A. F. McCarthy, in way, in the matter of the dismissal without honor of the soldiers of Companies B, C and D of the First battalion of the Twenty-fifth U. S. infantry. They, southern, Republicans, favor the nomination of Joseph Benson Foraker not only for his stand with reference to the defenseless soldiers, but because he is eminently fitted for the high office both by temperament and training, a record in the Republican party. He also proves that he appeals to us as the most available candidate that the party can nominate. they are for him to a man. He is also popular with the labor element and with his comrades, the veterans of the war of the rebellion. He is for law and order; labor and capital would find in him a president who would avoid friction, for he is a lawyer of great ability, who not only know the law, but who know the courage to execute it properly. The Foraker National league will stand by the senator. We are aware that every known method is being resorted to to prevent the Republicans of the south from having a full and free expression. Districts and states with an overwhelming sentiment in favor of Senator Foraker are in danger of being represented as against him. We can the country to aid us to the end that the delegates from the southern states, who are unquestionably and avowedly in favor of the senator, shall be able to hold their conventions, elect their delegates and vote for the man of their choices. If Mr. Roosevelt thinks that the Negroes as a whole will vote for either him or Mr. Taft if nominated, he is a badly deceived man. For this one time if never before, the Negroes are against any man brought out by the election of nominees are they opposed to Taft that if he is nominated, he will not be elected The Negroes will vote for any candidate in preference to Roosevelt Caft, Vardaman and Tillman not excepted.

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. D. and the C. M. B. churches who were also in session here at that time: "That we enter now and here our solemn protest against the monstrous injustice done 'The Black Batallion' by President Roosevelt 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 pillant and cowardly innocent trial of his vigorous vow 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 countenance and support given that movement by the present administration, of the unmerited and illegal punishment of the black battalion by the president and the approval of the governor, we colored ministers of the A. M. E. the A. M. E. Zion, and the C. M. E. churches, of the United States, in conference assembled in the city 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 'tait on pain of havoc and insult to the gentlemen at the polls next November the almost solid colored vote of the north."

Speaker Cannon and Congressmen Daizell and Payne Are Accused of Acting in Bad Faith. New York City. — At Wednesday's meeting of the American Newspaper Publishers' association a resolution was adopted thanking President Roosevelt for his courageous message in favor of free pulp and print paper. Another resolution was adopted which reads as follows: "The American Newspaper Publishers' association, comprising representatives of daily newspapers printed in every section of the country and gathered in annual convention, protests against the subtertuary, that designed by Speaker Charles and Representatives Payne and Dalzell, creating a community of newspaper inquiry and blocking the Stevens bill for free newspaper and free pulp. "We charge that this device was inspired in bad faith. Since early in December, 1907, a committee of this body has been clamoring at the doors of the ways and means committee for an opportunity to show the power of illegal combinations of paper makers to raise paper prices, an effect of existing tariff restrictions. Payne and Dalzell have espused all such efforts. The speaker of the house has turned an ear to his face whenever any one tried to raise the floor of the house. We are now amazed to find that Messrs. Cannon, Payne and Dalzell have changed their tactics and avow a desire to study the tariff phases of this paper question. They say they want the whole matter investigated thoroughly, though they know that such inquiry will carry over to the entire proposition to the new session of congress that have been eagerly asking for that for four months they had the power to refuse and which they did refuse. "With the utmost respect and defence for the authority of congress, we respectfully state that we mistrust the committee just appointed. We challenge the intention of those who have thus far succeeded in sidetracking the Stevens bill. We charge that action on the Stevens bill has been delayed to the advantage of a combination of paper makers who, in a desperate effort to maintain artificial prices with a declining market, have shut down 50 per cent of their mills and who, by throwing into idleness a considerable number of their employees, have shown the insincerity of their professions that the tariff duty on paper was needed to protect that paper." DEATH CLAIMS STATESMAN Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, Ex- Premier of England, Passes Away. London, England.-Sir Henry Campbell- Bannerman, former British premi- er, died Wednesday at his official residence in Downing street. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman was born September 7, 1836. He was the youngest of three sons of the Campbell of Forfarshire, at one time lord provost of Glasgow. He assumed the additional name under the will of his maternal uncle, the late Henry Bannerman, who bequeathed to him a large estate. In 1860 he married Charlotte, daughter of Maj. Gen, Sir Charles Bruce. She died in 1906, and from that time Sir Henry's decline in health may be dated. For nearly 40 years he sat for the seat the Stirling burghs—and his record of goes back to 1871, when he was financial secretary to the war office, which post he held a second time from 1880 to 1882 On the resignation of the Balfour administration in December, 1905, Sir Henry was summoned by the king and formed a Liberal cabinet, himself becoming first lord of the treasury and prime minister. His appointment followed and Sir Henry entered the new parliament with the greatest majority ever given to a British premier. Throughout his entire life Sir Henry showed a dogged determination that won him many adherents and countless admirers, and caused his opponents to hesitate before throwing down the gauntlet to him. He made attacks from whatever quarter with strong difference and to come back to the fight undismayed, as though nothing had happened. His untailing humor and his good will towards all men endowed him even to those who opposed him or whom he opposed. From the very beginning of the present session of parliament Sir Henry was on his health and after the opening he practically had not been able to attend the sessions at all, Chancellor Asquith acting as premier in his absence.

The man who gave to philanthropists who were struggling with the child-placing problem the first practical and efficient plan of work ever presented, peddled window-fasteners from door to door to further his ideas, says the Delineator. A man who is enough in earnest to peddle window-fasteners from door to door because of his belief in what he is doing can accomplish much. Dr. Van Arsdale is founding society, the National Home-Finding agency, a volunteer organization in 27 agencies working with one another in view; the placing of the homeless child in a good home. Twenty-seven thousand children have been put into happy homes through this great movement. Filed and Won by Hon. W. R. Stewart — Vullar's Face Literally Cooked — Splendid Success. Youngstown, O. — Recently Attorney Stewart, for John Vullar (white), fitted in suit to the U. S. court circuit in Cleveland for $15,000 damages. Vullar took care of nearly all cases as the result of the lacklessness of other employees of the Republic Iron and Steel Co., he alleges. Mr. Stewart has also filed a petition for the property owners (white) on the south side of Federal street, which will result in a big law suit, as valuable rights are at stake. Recently he secured a verdict of $1,100 damages in the common pleas court for Margaret Herschel (white) from Park & Park Street Railway Co. She carried her in a tall as she was about to alight. The verdict is an extraordinary large one for the injury. Hon W. R. Stewart. Depositions on file in the court house tell of criminal attempts by claim agents of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad to influence witnesses in the John Martic case. They relate that the witnesses were pled with beer and whiskey, and offered better jobs than the police would testify in the company's favor. Some of them did actually give depositions supporting the company, but repented and later, in the presence of attorneys for the Baltimore & Ohio railroad and of Hon. W. R. Stewart, Martic's attorney, told quite different stories. It is said that these stories so affected one of the company's attorneys that he refused to touch the case. When the company leaves, the attorney acknowledges that they did not offer their own in the trial, and by so doing shut out much damaging testimony. John Martic is a foreigner whose skull was badly fractured August 15, 1906, when a hand car in which he was riding from work jumped the rails near Middlefield. In consequence he became a helpless imbecile. Through Mr. Stewart, suit was brought by his guardian, Lire Gunelic. On the occasion of the first trial, the suit was thrown out of the courtroom when the trial was granted ever. Mr. Stewart discovered the new and incriminating testimony, and when the case was tried again, even though he could not introduce the testimony, succeeded in getting a verdict of $5,000. Holds Slaves, is the Charge. Montgomery, Ala.—W. C. Reynolds, a farmer near here, is held by the federal authorities on a promenage charge. It is alleged in affidavits filed that in order to collect a debt owed him by Pinkie Harris, an aged Afro- American, he has been holding the woman and her three sons in involu- tary servitude for several months.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. WANTED THE WORLD'S OPINION. Prisoner Had to Have That, Though He Went Without Luxuries. A certain prisoner landed in jail almost penniless. He was a man who had figured in a number of the town's shady transactions and his name was pretty well known. A few days after his incarceration he wrote to a friend asking for a monthly allowance of ten dollars to be continued during his term of imprisonment. The friend, remembering past favors, remitted the amount each month during a period that covered two trials and the long time intervening. One day it occurred to him to inquire into the manner of expending the allowance. He supposed it was used to buy occasional extra meals, a few cigars and newspapers, but just as a matter of curiosity he asked for particulars. He found, to his astonishment, that the prisoner had never ordered an extra meal and had not smoked a cigar all the time he had been in jail. "Then what in thunder," demanded the man, "have you been doing with that ten dollars a month?" "I subscribed to two press clipping bureaus," replied the prisoner coolly. "You don't suppose, do you, that I am going to pass through this, the most critical time of my life, without finding out what everybody has got to say about me?" Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup.

SATURDAY'S EXCEPTED LYDIA F. PINKHAM MEDICINE CO. What Does This Sign Mean? It means that public inspection of the Laboratory and methods of doing business is honestly desired. It means that there is nothing about the business which is not "open and above-board." It means that a permanent invitation is extended to anyone to come and verify any and all statements made in the advertisements of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Is it a purely vegetable compound made from roots and herbs — without drugs? Come and See. Do the women of America continually use as much of it as we are told? Come and See. Was there ever such a person as Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick woman are asked to write? Come and See. Is the vast private correspondence with sick women conducted by women only, and are the letters kept strictly confidential? Have they really got letters from over one million, one hundred thousand women correspondents? Come and See. Have they proof that Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has cured thousands of these women? Come and See. This advertisement is only for doubters. The great army of women who know from their own personal experience that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for female ill will still go on using and being benefited by it; but the poor doubting, suffering woman must, for her own sake, be taught confidence, for she also might just as well regain her health.

TROUBLESOME STOMACHS. So many digestive disorders afflict men and women now that a select prescription has been secured from a great Battle Creek specialist who offers it freely to those who cannot take sanitarium treatment. Its use for a few weeks is said to completely restore the digestive functions, increase the strength and cure nervousness, insomnia and all symptoms of a distressing nature due to such disorders. Mix these three ingredients together, shake well and take one or two teaspoonpuffs after each meal. One ounce compound essence Cardiol, two ounces essence of Pepsin and two ounces syrup of Ginger. One of our best-known druggists, to whom the above was submitted, states positively that a more effective and harmless prescription could not be filled by any one, and that it is familiarly known as the "Rockefeller Cure." Prominent, up-to-date druggists will get the ingredients from their jobber, although most of them keep them in stock. TOOK TIME. A Scotsman, having hired himself to a farmer, had a cheese set before him that he might help himself. After some time, the master said to him: "Sandy, you take a long time to breakfast." "In truth, master," said Sandy; "a cheese o' this size is na sae soon eaten as you may think." THE LIVING ROOM. It Should at All Times Be a "Livable" Room. What to do with the living room is a problem that confronts every housekeeper. The living room should be in fact as well as in name a living room—a livable room. It is the room in which the most of our time at home is spent, the hours we have for leisure, the time we have for play, the place where we entertain our friends and it is absolutely essential that the walls and furnishings of the living room should be harmonious in color, suitable in texture, and durable in material. The rich, soft, solid colored walls are the ideal walls for the living rooms. They make a better back ground for pictures, throw the furniture out in better relief, are less discordant with rugs and carpeting, and indicate a higher degree of taste and culture than do the colored monstrosities which we paste on when we apply wall paper. Who ever saw roses climbing up a plastered wall growing out of a hardwood floor? Yet, that is what we suggest to the imagination when we paste paper covered with roses on our walls. They are neither artistic nor true. Roses are all very beautiful, but they were never made to climb up interior walls and they do not grow from hardwood flooring. The set figures of wall paper are also tiresome and equally disagreeable and repellant. The alabastined wall is the only correct form of a tinted or solid colored wall. Fortunately it is the only clean way, and more fortunately it is the only permanent way; the only way that does not involve the endless labor in the future. In lighting the walls some thought must be given the color. Light colors reflect 85% of the light thrown upon them. Dark colors reflect but 15%. Lighting bills can be saved by choosing a color which will reflect the largest degree of light. In north rooms use warm colors or colors which reflect light. In south and west rooms sometimes the light can be modified by the use of darker colors. Dark greens absorb the light; light yellows reflect it; browns modify it, and so on, through the scale of colors. The color scheme of a room not only is dependent upon the color of the carpetings but it is also dependent upon the light of the room. The Farmer's Retort. "What do you call your red automobile, mister?" drawled the old farmer at the drawbridge. "The Fool Killer," bantered the man in goggles. "I call it that because it kills all the jobs who happen to cross in front of it. The old farmer cleaned his pipe with a straw and then replied, evenly: "That so, mister? Wall, is there any chance of it blowing up and killing the fool inside?" Misunderstood. Visitor—What lovely cut glass you have, Mrs. Chump. Mrs. Chump (indignantly)—They hain't a bit of that cut.

SIZE..... NAME..... ADDRESS.... To Reproduce Historical Plays. At Eger, Bohemia, where Schiller wrote the Wallenstein trilogy, arrangements are being made, says the Bohemia, of Prague, for a performance of the historical plays on a magnificent scale. No date further than "next summer" has been fixed, but it probably will be at the height of the travel season. In "Wallenstein's Lager," "Die Piecolomini" and "Wallenstein Tod" the managers of the undertaking hope to make use of the weapons and uniforms which are preserved in the museums, and the military bodies will be made up of Austrian troops and members of the reserve force. The entry of Wallenstein will be an elaborate spectacle, in which every historical detail will be reproduced and about a thousand men will take part. Don't Worry. He that fretts himself because things do not happen just as he would have them, and secedes and separates himself from the law of universal nature, is but a sort of an ulcer of the world, never considering that the same cause which produced the displeasing accident made him too—Marcus Aurelius. THE PAINTING SEASON. Good results in painting at the least cost depend largely upon the material chosen. Paint is a simple compound and the ingredients can be easily tested. The solid part or pigment should be White Lead. The liquid part should be Linseed Oil. Those best informed on painting always buy the ingredients separately and have their painter mix them the fresh for each job. Before the mixing the test is made. Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead on a piece of charcoal or piece of wood. Blow the flame against it and see what it will do. If it is pure White Lead, little drops of bright, pure metallic lead will appear, and with patience the White Lead can be completely reduced to one globule of metallic lead. This is because pure White Lead is made from metallic lead. You may test dozens of other so-called White Leads and not be able to reduce one of them to lead. If they will not change wholly to lead but leave a residue, it is clear that some adulterant is present. If you should have your painting done with such materials, no matter how cheap they might seem, it would be costly in the end. National Lead Company, Woodbridge Building, New York City, are sending on request a blowpipe free to any one about to have painting done, so that the White Lead may be tested. With it will be sent a handsomely printed booklet having as its frist-piece the "Dutch Boy Painter," reproduced from the original painting. This little painter has become noted as the guaranty of pure White Lead. PERHAPS A NATURAL MISTAKE. Physician Had Reason to Think He Had Lost His Patient. Henry Grimm, who was formerly one of the prominent members of the German-American society, tells a story about a German friend of his who was taken ill. For many days the German was close to death, but after a time he showed improvement in condition. The doctor told the German's wife that her husband might have anything to eat that he liked. The German expressed a desire for Limburger cheese, and the wife, being a generous woman and pleased at the improvement, and in order that her husband might have a nibble at any time he had a taste for it, put some cheese in every room in the house. It is easy to imagine the aroma. The next morning the doctor called at the house, and as soon as he opened the door he asked: "When did he die?"—Hartford Post. "Do you remember, Jane, 20 years ago, a moonlight night, when I whispered, tenderly: 'Jennie, I love you,' and you answered, passionately: 'John, you nose looks so funny and swollen. Do you suppose something's bitten it?" Leasing a Tenant A landlord in the Highlands of Scotland had a "crofter" tenant, who paid him ten shillings a year as rent for the little farm. At the end of the second year the tenant came to the landlord and said that he was not able to pay more than five shillings a year, as crops had been poor. The landlord agreed to this. At the end of the third year the tenant appeared before the landlord again and complained that things were going so poorly with him that he was not able to pay any rent. The landlord agreed to let him remain rent free. At the end of the fourth year the tenant once more appeared before the landlord, and said: "Colonel, if you don't build me a barn I'll have to move." It Acts Slowly But Frequently Produces Blindness. The curious effect of slow daily poisoning and the gradual building in of disease as a result, is shown in numbers of cases where the eyes are affected by coffee. A case in point will illustrate: A lady in Oswego, Mont., experienced a slow but sure disease settling upon her eyes in the form of increasing weakness and shooting pains with wavy, dancing lines of light, so vivid that nothing else could be seen for minutes at a time. She says: "This gradual failure of sight alarmed me and I naturally began a very earnest quest for the cause. About this time I was told that coffee poisoning sometimes took that form, and while I didn't believe that coffee was the cause of my trouble, I concluded to cut it and see. "I took up Postum Food Coffee in spite of the jokes of Husband whose experience with one cup at a neighbor's was unsatisfactory. Well, I made Postum strictly according to directions, boiling it a little longer, because of our high altitude. The result was charming. I have now used Postum in place of coffee for about 3 months and my eyes are well, never palming me or showing any weakness. I know to a certainty that the cause of the trouble was coffee and the cure was in quitting it and building up the nervous system on Postum, for that was absolutely the only change I made in diet and I took no medicine. "My nursing baby has been kept in a perfectly healthy state since I have used Postum. "Mr. ——, a friend, discarded coffee and took on Postum to see if he could be rid of his dyspepsia and frequent headaches. The change produced a most remarkable improvement, outkly."

"Spring fever," so called, is nothing more or less than thick poisoned blood. The poisons accumulate through the long winter, and on the first warm day the tired, all-in feeling manifests itself, causing aching from head to foot, languor, sleepiness, etc. Rheumatic pains often harass the nerves, too, while catarral poisons and urolic drug run, riot in the system. Use the salt water treatment for local symptoms, but a cleanser and tonic is needed by the blood. Otherwise a most miserable summer will torture you. Get the poisons out of the blood before the hot season is here. Thin the blood, stimulate the kidneys and liver, invigorate the nerves, is the advice of a German-American specialist. When asked how, he replied: "Get any honest druggist to mix in a bottle one-half ounce fluid extract buchu, one ounce compound fluid bumwort, and two ounces compound syrup sarsaparilla. A teaspoonful after each meal and one at bedtime will work marvelous changes, thin the poisoned blood, strain out the poisons and regulate the functions. CONCERNING THE OLD MAN. HUH? WAIT!

Awful Case of Scabies—Body a Mass of Sores from Scratching—Her Tortures Yield to Cuticura. "A young woman came to our city mission in a most awful condition physically. Our doctor examined her and told us that she had scabies (the itch), incipient parasis, rheumatism, etc., brought on from exposure. Her poor body was a mass of sores from scratching and she was not able to retain solid food. We worked hard over her for seven weeks but we could see little improvement. One day I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and we bathed our patient well and gave her a full dose of the Resolvent. She slept better that night and the next day I got a box of Cuticura Ointment. In five weeks this young woman was able to look for a position, and she is now strong and well. Laura Jane Bates, 85 Fifth Ave., New York, N. Y., Mar. 11, 1907." Maintaining His Dignity. Even the elevator boy had to draw the line somewhere, to prevent his being made too common. A writer in the New York Evening Post tells of a recent experience with one of the fraternity. "If any one calls, Percy, while I am out, tell him to wait. I shall be right back," she said to the apartment house elevator boy. There was no answer. "Did you hear me? Why don't you answer?" asked the woman, with some heat. "I never answers, 'ma'am, unless I doesn't hear, and then I says 'What?'." How's This? We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarin that cannot be cured by Hail! Catarin Cure. P. J.

DAYS OF FINANCIAL STRESS MAKE FARM LANDS LOOK RICH A staff contributor of a southern newspaper has taken up the question of the return to the farm of many who had forsaken it for the glitter of the city. He says: "It is a well known fact that the history of this Government shows that those men who have been most successful in life and who have left their impress upon its people and its institutions as statesmen, soldiers, financiers—have as a rule been those whose youth was spent on the farm, and it is to such as these that there comes with overmastering power THE CALL OF THE SOIL. More especially does it come with redoubled persuasiveness, greater power and sweeter pleading to the man of affairs when the clouds of financial unrest begin to darken the sky; when the cry of panic causes people to lose their wits and act like stamped cattle; when with reason or without reason there arises before him the specter of ruin, grinning in his face and waving its gaunt arms in threatening gesticulation. The pittable state into which some men were brought by the recent financial furry, which happily is now passed, suggests these reflections. Some were ruined and a very few became insane because of their losses. Two or three took their own lives. It is when such times come that the statesman, the great financier, and the man of affairs becomes tired of the struggle. He lays down his pen, turns from his desk and listens to the CALL OF THE SOIL. There are hundreds of cases throughout the United States of those who have money in the banks and are looking for investment in lands. No investment is better or safer. Take, for instance, the lands in Western Canada that can be bought at from $10 to $15 per acre which yield a revenue equal to and often greater than their original cost. Those lands make a certain investment. During the past two months large investments in these lands have been made, some intending to use the lands for farming purposes of their own. Others to resell to farmer friends. The agents of the Government of Canada located at different points throughout the United States have in their possession particulars of districts in which there are free homestead grants of 160 acres each accessible to railways, markets, schools, churches, &c. These are valuable lands. These agents will be pleased to give information to any desirous of securing, and will tell all about the railway rates, &c. Verger Knew His Business. After being conducted through an old church by the verger, a visitor was so pleased with the officer's courtesy and information that he insisted on giving him half a crown. The man shook his head sadly. "Thank you, sir," he said, "but it's quite against the rules." "I am sorry for that," said the visitor, about to return the half crown to his pocket. "But," added the verger, "if I were able to find a coin on the floor it would not be against the rules for me to pick it up."—Tit-Bits. Shorten the Agony.
