All kinds of fruit have a revival, peaches, plums and cherries in natural and fancy hues, branches of blackberries and currants, strawberries and the small wild cherries are carelessly fastened on hat brims and crowns in a most tempting way. Velvet and silk geraniums in their natural tones, set up high, conforming to the algitere idea, or in garlands around the crown, are used in great quantities. Masses of small tight rosebuds, placed on the sharply turned-up brims of small hats, or set closely around the beret crowns, produce an extremely good effect. Woodbine in scattared, straggling sprays trims tulle and straw crowns and is very much in favor. Very long and narrow pheasant quills* and those made of lophophorus plumage, slightly curving and having as a finish a head of the same or in a contrasting color, with jeweled eyes, are frequently the sole trimming of the very large sailors worn this season. Of the new colors, blue after rain is a new tint of pale blue. Fuchsia is a vivid shade of great beauty, showing the same purplish undertone as the flower. - Vogue. The popularity of the Grecian idea in evening dress as well as in street and house costumes suggests the Grecian form of hair dressing. The large, pointed knot at the back of the head, with the hair drawn back softly from the face, is an eminently fitting coifure for the prevailing hats. Avoid Cutting Material Avoid Cutting Material. Where lace or embroidery insertion is used for trimming, place a flat steel or case knife between the insertion and material, run the scissors along the steel. You will find it will be easier to cut the material and prevent all possibility of cutting the lace. THE GAZETTE KEEP DUST FROM PICTURES Fine Paintings Ruined for Lack of a Little Care. Almost all pictures that hang from the walls in the rooms of our houses have their fronts protected by pane of glass, while their backs are cleaned once a week, perhaps, of the dust that daily accumulates there. In some homes it falls to the lot of framed and hanging pictures to have their backs cleaned of an uncommonly thick coat of dust but once every house-cleaning time. Where the dust gets through the thin crevices left between the thin boards placed on the back of framed pictures it is sure to play havoc. In time it will spoil the picture by discoloring the cardboard mounting as well as the picture itself to such an extent as to make the photograph almost unpresentable. A good picture framer will always paste a paper of good thickness and durability over the backs of frames, after the picture has been placed in it, in order to avert having the dust get in to its destructive work. Many old and valued pictures, handed down through generations, which the families would not have parted with at any cost, have gone slowly to destruction through dust. The attempts to restore them came too late, as the likenesses were so far despoiled as to be unrecoverable. In many homes this work of the household demons, dust and dampness, is going on while the very persons who within a decade or two from today will be lamenting the loss of their favorite pictures are looking on and even remarking at the discoloring process. Not only is the paper pasted over the back of the frame a necessary protection for the picture, but it presents a far nearer appearance. It will not eliminate the necessity of having the thin boards to hold the picture in place. These are used in order that the picture may be held flattened against the glass which protects the front of it. Were these boards taken off it would not be long until the picture would draw away from the glass in spots, according to the weak spots of the cardboard, making the whole present an awkward appearance. Clocked Stockings Silk stockings with clocks are very expensive and quite beyond the reach of many girls, but it is the easiest thing in the world to buy plain stockings and embroider clocks at home to give them; that extremely chic effect that is so desirable. It is necessary only to work a straight line up the side, running from the seam at the ankle. This done, a few stitches will make a clock finished at the top with an arrow. Sometimes the clock alone is not sufficient, and the dainty girl must have her monogram embroidered in the front. This is not very difficult to do, but it is necessary first to stamp the stocking. It should then be embroidered over an egg, which keeps the thread from pulling and making the puckered effect. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. WILL BE SPLIT THIS TIME, SURE! TAFT'S NOMINATION IN THE FACE OF AFRO-AMERICAN PROTESTS BOUND TO CAUSE DEFECTION! Mr. Samuel R. Scottron, the Inventor of the Adjustable Mirror, Wipes Charley Anderson Off the Political Discussion Map—Some Very Interesting History. Brooklyn, N. Y.—The following are from recent issues of the local Daily Citizen, and are so pertinent and so good, just at this time, that they merit republication in the columns of our true race newspaper and advocate, The Gazette: CHARLES W. ANDERSON. One of the colored graduates of Lincoln university, a Prof. Waidron, who is opposed to Taft's candidacy, says: "Some Negroes may vote the Democratic ticket, but the large majority will stay at home or join a third party if the party names either Mr. Taft or Mr. Roosevelt. Of course, it would party themselves, but any of the old time Republicans who have become disgusted with Rooseveltism take in such a movement, the 600,000 Negro voters who are not officeholders will join that party. The Negroes now hold the balance of power in Indiana, Ohio, New Jersey, Kentucky, Missouri, New York, West Virginia, and Ohio. The Republican can win unless he carries these nine states and in these states the Negroes have pledged themselves not to vote for Taft or Roosevelt." Charley Anderson, the colored internal revenue collector of Manhattan, seems to have a more rational idea than Prof. Waldron, of what the Negro voters will do. Anderson says, with Democrats who voted for Horace Greeley in 1872: "You will remember that although Charles Sumner supported Horace Greeley against Gen. Grant and Greeley had been fighting the battles of the Negroes for a lifetime and had given lavishly of his time and treasure to the Negroes, he would have groves refused to desert the Republican party. Mr. Sumner urged Frederick Douglass to advise his people to support Greeley, and the "old man eloquent," with that unfailing sanity which characterized him, answered for the people: "The Republican party is the ship; all else is the sea." "W. H. M. (Mul.)" Editor Citizen: Sir—Your regular and very entertaining correspondent "Mul," has said a few things as to the colored voters. In your issue of June 16 that it seems to me may be reviewed with profit. He has quoted the statements of two colored leaders, Prof. Waldron of Lincoln university, and Mr. Charles, W. Anderson, internal revenue collector at New York, between them representing the extremes upon that subject. S. C. SCOTTRON. That there is much dissatisfaction among colored voters with President Roosevitt and with the nomination of Mr. Taft to succeed him, that many colored men will not vote at all, or else vote some other ticket, as Prof. Waldron says, I believe to be true, too; but, that 600,000 Negro voters will desert the Republican party is absurd to think of to any one knowing the ability of the Negro to stand hard kicks under his contalls, and his gullibility, as shown in his falling into line, and year but, to vote the right Republican vote, and less, you may readily believe that this year there will be a large division in the colored vote, many Negroes being, as now engaged, in hunting a new place in which to deposit their here-to-fore sure Republican ballot. On the other hand, Collector Anderson is certainly far out of the way if he would give the impression that all, or even a very large majority of Negro voters, are about to fall into line the moment some colored leader bids them to do so. Of course, Mr. Anderson's sympathies and interests being in that direction, he hopes it may be true, but he is doomed to disappointment. Anderson has mentioned the matter of the Greeley campaign—a matter of which he can have no personal knowledge—and he conveys a very wrong impression to "Mul's" mind if he believes, with Mr. Anderson, that in that campaign, despite Charles Summer's advice, the Negro voters voted solidly for Gen. Grant. During that campaign I served as the secretary of the National Liberal Republican Committee of Colored Citizens, having six clerks under me at headquarters. No, General Street, where I know what I am.—That there was a very large defection of colored voters from the Regular Republican party in all the states north and northwest and nowhere greater than in this state and city, where it required the utmost effort of the Rev. Henry Highland Garnett, the leading colored Republican of those days, to stem the tide. Dr. Garnett and many of his lieutenants, the whole force of colored employees of the New York custom house, were never so busy in all their streets that it influenced of Charles Summer. The public discussions at Cooper tonight and many other halls gave evidence of much sympathy for our honored leader, Horace Greeley. True, Mr. Summer endeavored to persuade Frederick Douglass, going so far as to remind Mr. Douglass of his duty to resent the slight put upon him, personally, by Gen. Grant, who had failed to invite Mr. Douglass to the dinner which he, the president, had tended to the commissioners; of which Mr. Douglass was one—recently returned from considering the annexation of Santa Domingo. Brougain had kind of affair; he was a true representative of a great majority of American Negroes. In the face of insult, injury and humiliation, he recommended humility and patience. There were some among us who regarded Douglass' humility as the result of expectancy of favors yet to come, and this we think proved true. The voice of Summer was not lost on every Negro breast; many Negroes stood firmly with Summer, full of confidence that one we firm, constant and devoted to the cause. Frederick Douglass' y had ever been to be trusted u. George T. Downing, in those days as much a leader as was either Douglass or Garnett, and many others whom I might name, rallied to the side of Greeley. Horace Greeley lost, GEORGE T. DOWNING. not because of the want of support by Negroes, but because white Democrats deserted him; he was too much a "black Republican" to suit their taste. As many Negroes supported him as could well be expected of freedmen not long since emerging from slavery, ignorant and fearful of the loss of their recently acquired rights. In that day we were sending Negroes from these parts to teach Negroes in the south, while today, as the result of the war, we are now sending there the south is sending educated Negroes to take the places of teachers in northern schools. Then the word "Democrat" served to create a panic in an assembly of Negroes; since then, however, we have twice experienced the rule of Grover Cleveland, a Democrat of Democrats, in the office of president of the United States, with the result, that the word falls to serve as a bogye" the Negro is not afraid. No fear then that the bogye is not a bogye, nor does the Negro moved them. Whether the Negroe is very fairly divided now as it should have been all these years, depends largely upon whom the Democratic party nominates for president and vice president in July next. Bank in a Receiver's Hands. Bank in a Receiver's Hands. Little Rock, Ark.—The Capital City Savings bank, the only Afro-American bank in Arkansas, went into the hands of a receiver on the 20th on request of Charles B. King, the cashier. Marvin Harris was appointed receiver by Chancellor Martineau. Because an illiterate Negro had overdrawn his account and had his check refused he started a report that the bank was involved in fraud. The institution appeared before the institution and their money. There was only $2,000 in cash on hand and the doors were not opened. The liabilities are about $75,000, with assets considerably in excess. Mr. Harris was also appointed receiver for the People's Mutual Aid association, an insurance company operated upon the industrial plan in connection with the bank. Judge M. W. Gibbs is president of the bank and his son Horace Gibbs one of its two both are well in northeastern Ohio. The family have lived for years at Oberlin.

Chicago, Ill.—The following is the plank the recent Republican convention adopted—the same thing the party has been saying before and ignoring after elections for lo! these many years: **Rights of the Negro.** The Republican party has been for more than 50 years the consistent friend of the American Negro. It gave him freedom and citizenship. It wrote into the organic law the declarations that proclaim his civil and political rights, and it believes led to that his noteworthy progress, intelligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation. We demand equal justice for all men, without regard to race or color; we declare once more, and without reservation, for the enforcement in letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution which were designed for the protection and advancement of the Negro, and we condemn all devices that would harm him in his franchisement for reasons of color alone, as unfair, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land. "BLIND TOM'S" BETHUNE RECORD Hoboken, N. J.—"Blind Tom" Wiggins, better known as Tom Bethune, died recently in the home of Mrs. Eliza Lerche of No. 60 Twelfth street, this city, where he had lived ever since he grew too old to stand travel time. He was the former husband was General Bethune, now dead, the man who toured the old and new worlds with Tom as the attraction that made him immensely rich long before the General's death. It was the Bethunes, Tom's aged and very poor mother, who still lived in Georgia, where he was born, sued in the court of the county in his earnings, who was too poor to keep up the fight and therefore lost the long drawn out legal contest. It is a question which was the more aggravating to those remembering the facts given above, the daily newspaper dispatch statement saying poor Tom's last days "were spent in charity" (on behalf of the family) or statement that "Mrs. Lerche took care of the gray-haired, venerable musician tenderly, pitying his plight and admiring the grit and genius he displayed." Taft Can't Carry It! Chicago, Ill.—Gen. Woodford in his speech presenting the name of Gov. Hughes, said: "Whether we win or lose in New York depends largely upon what we do here today. I do believe that I know New York, and there are in just two states without question. One is in the white house at Washington and the other in the state house at Albany." To Honor Dead Soldiers! Washington, D. C.—The president has directed the quartermaster of the army to reserve a suitable plot of ground at the Arlington National cemetery as a site for a monument in special honor of Negro soldiers who lost their lives in the civil war. The Colored Soldiers Monument associates with the cemetery as it is collecting funds with which it is proposed to erect the monument. IN UNION THERE IS STRONGER REV. RANDOLPR UNCLES. Three Afro-American priests celebrated mass at St. Peter Claver's Colored Catholic church in Baltimore recently. It was the first time in the history of the Catholic church in the United States that the officiating priests at a mass have all been Afro-Americans. This is because there are only three in the church in this country. They are Rev. John Henry Dorsey of St. John's college, Montgomery, Ala., who was the celebrant; Rev. Randolph Uncles of Epiphany college, Walbrook, Md., deacon, and Rev. John Plantigne of the Apostolic Mission house of Washington, D. C., sub-deacon. CHEERS ARE FOR BRYAN. Demonstration for Nebraskan Occurs at a Republican Mass Meeting in California. San Francisco, Cal.-For ten minutes the night of the 21st, the large crowd that had gathered for the ratification of the Taft-Sherman ticket under the auspices of the Republican state central committee, cheered itself hoarse for W. J. Bryan, while the leaders, in dismay, vainly tried to check the outburst. He had been but small enthusiasm manifested and the cheering for Taft had been perfunctory, when Congressman Julius Kahn took the platform. In the course of his remarks he referred to the introduction in congress by John Sharp Williams of a currency bill and declared that Williams had attempted to have read into the record an editorial by Bryan in the Commoner. In the mention of Bryan's name acted like a charm. Hundreds were instantly their feet, cheering like mad. For ten minutes pandemonium reigned. Republicans today are doing some tall thinking.

Negro Blood Made No Difference. Springfield, Ill.-According to an opinion handed down on the 18th by the Illinois supreme court Vespasian Warner, commissioner of pensions, loses his fight to sustain his father's will and as a result his stepmother, the daughter, shares the share of the estate. The value of the entra estate is estimated at $2,000,000 and Mrs. Warner will get practically $500,000. The supreme court affirms the lower court, which declared the antenuptial contract null and void and upheld her right to renounce the will. The court also charges that Mrs. Warner has Negro blood in her veins is "immaterial and irrelevant," says the court. Good! Dr. Booker T. in Politics Washington, D.

Washington today had a conference with Secretary Taft and informed him that he would be appointed to the position.

H, Taft, because none can realize any real benefit to come to the race by his @lection, especially since Roosevelt's policies are to be perpetu ated if he is elected, and we are so tired of the hypocritical treutment re- celyed from a pretended friend, one who promised a “square deal” and not to close “the door of hope” against us, but who afterwards slammed it tight im our face, For whom shall we vote? ‘THE CHICAGO CONVENTION. ‘The Republican national convention fs now a record of the past, and the program, as pre-arranged by President Roosevelt, has been carried out. But there were no encores and no real genuine applause, notwithstanding the report in administration papers to the contrary, The Afro-Americans, num- bering over 3,000, were there with “all thelr might” to protest against the wrong thing belag done, against the intentions of Czar Roosevelt to rule or ruin the party, and to avert the untoward movement of ils colored of ficeholders. But to Stil the coursse, beavers al ‘aggressiveness of our leaders there, such 28 Bishop Walters, Editor Trotter, Dr, Cress and others excite our admiration, and force us to say, though our cause sut- fered temporary defeat, “well done, goud and faithful.” Now, there is one thing we would counsel our brethren —not to be discouraged in the face of the distressing condition of things political. First, we should remember that “he whom the gods would de- stroy, they first make mad.” Do not forget that! Let us be earnest, sin cere and uncompromising, but do not Wet us “lose our heads.” Be sane, sober and sound. “Whateoever things are just, whatsoever things are hon- est, and’ whatsoever things are polit: feally of good report, let us meditate upon these things,” Let us not be too hasty, or too passionate. Remember “God reigns,” and that “right ‘s right since God is right, and right the day will win!” Do not doubt this! Why not, as carly as possible, have a na tional called-meeting of leading Afro American yoters in some centrally lo cated city and deliberate upon the action of the Chicago convention and ‘the campaign soon to be open, in the Interest of the American Negro? Relative to his bill to give justice to the “Black Battalion,” Senator For- aker wrote, a few weeks ago: “With the president (Roosevelt) active in his opposition, personally im- portuning senators, 1 was unable to get a vote, even if I succeeded in get- ting the bill before the senate, and, unable to pass the bill if I-did get a Vote. At most I could get assurances of only 85 votes, and some of those were wavering. It was necessary to have 47. “Now, with the bill postponed, they (our people) have at least a living is- ‘gue, and they (Afro-Americans) have a right to demand of Republican can: ‘didates for office, including our candi: dates for president and vice president, and Ril other candidates for re-election to the senate and to the house of rep- resentatives, that they will pledge themselves "to support the Foraker bill. Can Aid Race and Soldiers. “In this way the 10,000,000 colored people of the United States can great ly help, not only the soldiers, but the whole race by causing themselves to be felt and appreciated as they never have been before. When they come to realize their opportunity I think they will all be proud to take a direct and effective part in what should be to them a labor of love.” ‘To all of which we say AMEN! Mr. Taft has pledged himself to the Roose- velt policles, yes, all of them! What is the Rooxevelt policy in the Browns. ville matter? Is it not made especial: ly clear in the excerpts from Senator Foraker’s letter. quoted above? We think so, Then what ate we going to do about it? Are we going to heed the senator and demand some expres sion from Mr. Taft in addition to his expression as to the endorsement of all the Roosevelt policies; or are we going to put our vote-seal of approval upon the Roosevelt “Black Batallion” policy which Candidate Taft unquat ifiedly endorses, in November?

Toronto, Out.-A party of Toronto excursionists at Niagara Falls, N. Y., Saturday claim to have been subjected to indignity at the hands of United States officials. They were pleimicking at Victoria park when some of them decided to visit the American side. They were allowed to land, but on deciding to return to the Canadian side they were told that they would have to see an inspector. Guarded by a dozen policemen they were marched through the town to the inspector's office, where they were detained three hours and then allowed to go. The matter will be brought to the attention of the government at Ottawa. A Swindler Is Sentenced.

OF LASIC and EASY RIDING. 4 YOU'RE TOO THIN Even Slight Catarrhal Derangements of the Stomach Produce Acid Fermentation of the Food. It's Stomach Catarrh Some people are thin and always remain thin, from temperamental reasons. Probably in such cases nothing can be done to change this personal peculiarity. But there are a large number of people who get thin, or remain thin, who naturally would be plump and fleshy but for some digestive derangement. Thin people lack in adipose tissue. Adipose tissue is chiefly composed of fat. Fat is derived from the oily constituents of food. The fat-making foods are called by the physiologist, hydrocarbons. This class of foods are not digested in the stomach at all. They are digested in the duodenum, the division of the alimentary canal just below the stomach. The digestion of fat is mainly, if not wholly, the work of the pancreatic juice. This juice is of alkaline reaction, and is rendered inert by the addition of acid. A hyperacidity of the digestive fluids of the stomach passing down into the duodenum, destroys the pancreatic fluid for digestive purposes. Therefore, the fats are not digested or emulsified, and the system is deprived of its due proportion of oily constituents. Hence, the patient grows thin. The beginning of the trouble is a catarrhal condition of the stomach which causes hyperacidity of the gastric juices. This hyperacidity is caused by fermentation of food in the stomach. When the food is taken into the stomach, if the process of digestion does not begin immediately, acid fermentation will take place. This creates a hyperacidity of the stomach juices which in their turn prevent the pancreatic digestion of the oils, and the emacitation results. A dose of Peruna before each meal hastens the stomach digestion. By hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents fermentation of the contents of the stomach, and the pancreatic juice is thus preserved in its normal state. It then only remains for the patient to eat a sufficient amount of fat-forming foods, and the thinness disappears and plumpness takes its place. IMPRESSED THE LITTLE ONE. Department of Colored Gentleman Matter of Admiration. Little Elsie, who had recently returned from a visit to Washington, was describing to her companion some of the wonderful things she had observed in the Capitol City. "One evening," said she, breathlessly, "papa took me to have supper at a grand hotel where the dining room was awfully big, and at the tables around us sat great senators and representatives with their wives, all drinking champagne!" "I suppose the manners of these great persons were perfect?" ventured her companion, with widened eyes. "Yes," returned Elsie. "But," she added, with a sudden burst of enthusiasm, "the deportment of the colored gentlemen who served the wine was perfectly beautiful!" REAL HARD LUCK. He—Then I am to understand that you absolutely reject my offer? She—There is really nothing else for it. He—Well, I think it very selfish of you.

It was not that he had no friends. The fact that he was always known as Dickie, and that most of his acquaintances had forgotten what his surname was (if they ever knew it) is sufficient to prove that he was not solitary in that sen. He knew scores of men—men women he rather looked down upon—and they all liked him. Yet he never seemed altogether at ease in their presence. He had a distinct dread of displaying anything that might suggest sentiment, and yet, if the truth were known, he was perhaps as sentimental a fellow as any healthy Englishman that ever lived. Nature had made him one of the best companions possible, and habit, which had almost become second nature, tried hard to make him a hermit. And, on the whole it succeeded. Dickie lived in a castle on the Neckar. It commanded a very fine view, but it was not in itself a picturesque castle. He had found it by chance during one of the lonely rides which he was wont to take from Heidelberg, on his motor-tricycle. Before he had found the castle he had seldom stayed long in one place. Possessed of independent means, he was accustomed to saying that his father had done him one bad turn by helping him into the world, and one good one by providing him with enough to live upon until he was comfortably out of it. He spent the best part of his time in traveling. The occupant of the castle was a baron whose distressed circumstances had induced him to let Dickie a suite of four rooms on the second floor. His arrangements were that he should appear at meal-times and take his food with the baron and baroness, but at all other times he was to be left to himself. The baron allowed him to play the hermit to his heart's content, and for some weeks Dickie declared himself as happy as a king with his gun, his motor, his camera, and his supply of books and magazines. So things went very well until one day the baron, who liked Dickle, and was a little perturbed at his eccentricities, announced at lunch that he intended to have some more guests. Dickle protested strongly. The baron looked amused and waved his hand with the air of one who, having lived long and seen much, is well able to select or reject in a matter of comfort. Dickle became a trifle apologetic. "Well," he protested, "a throng of visitors means noise." "I shall have, as hitherto, the greatest possible care for your sensitive nerves," said the baron with a dry smile. "I think I'll take a holiday till the hurricane blows over," said Dickle. "Why not wait and see?" asked the baron. "Perhaps they won't be so bad after all." In point of fact, the baron had selected his guests with some skill. He had no intention of opening his house to anyone who might turn up. Of the eight members of the party, two were personal friends of his, and the rest were friends of these. Dickie awaited their arrival gazing savagely from the window of his sitting-room. There were two Germans, five Americans, and one Englishman. Four of the Americans were of the fair sex, and these constituted the feminine element of the party. The baron had not led Dickie to expect any feminine element, so their advent excited little emotion in his breast other than that of fierce resentment until he caught sight of the last figure in the group. It was one of the American girls; but it was not the girl herself that attracted Dickie's attention. Behind her, towed by a lead, flickered a white fox-terrier punny. Now Dickie had no dog of his own and he wanted one. He was, moreover, particularly keen on having a fox-terrier. Accordingly, he determined to make friends with it even if that entailed making friends with its mistress. And so it happened that when the Crowd—that was the name by which they called themselves—came in to dinner that evening, they found Dickie ready to make himself completely agreeable. He laughed and jested and told anecdotes, and finally invited the lot of them, dog and all, to his rooms. He accompanied them on their picnics, photographed them, gave them the run of his books; opened his rooms to them. And he undertook the training of the eeg. Bobs. Bobs was a thoroughbred, with no markings excepting two brown and black spots which covered his eyes, and spread on either side to his ears. When he arrived at the castle he was entirely uneducated, but under Dickie's tuition he rapidly picked up the rudiments of canine politeness. After a week or two he would answer to his name, lie down, or come to heel; and he was beginning to take quite a promising interest in rattoles. Then he mastered the intricacies of sitting up on his hind legs with a lump of sugar balanced upon his nose until he was assured that it was paid for. After that he went on to the "dead dog" foat, and finally he learned to talk. Bobs had, in fact, been cleverer than even he thought himself. Without knowing it, he had awakened in Dickie an interest—half suppressed, it is true—in that mystery, the heart of a woman. By degrees Dickie began to realize that he rather liked this American girl. He was, of course, not in love with her. No notion, despite the fact that he himself suggested it, could be more preposterous. It was, he tried to convince himself, his sense of humor that appealed to him. They became the best of friends, and Dickie-Dickie who hated sentiment—began to be in mortal fear of show it. He would withhold from her the ordinary civilities which are every woman's due rather than let her think she had the least power to influence him. At length the day came for the Crowd to depart. Dickle accompanied them to the station, and as the train came in the American girl handed Bobs to him. "You'll get more fun out of him than I shall," she said. "Besides, he's more your dog than mine, anyway You've taught him all the stunts he knows, and he won't do them for me." So Dickle and Bobs returned to the castle together, and there was a pair of hermits. Months sped by, and Dickle drifted along the solitary stream of his existence. To his friends he appeared the same as heretofore. Only the baron, who saw him constantly, noticed that his intervals of unrest became more frequent and of longer duration. He was often absent from the castle for five days or a week at a time, and once he took a flying visit to America which lasted three months. On his return he told the baron of his travels, and explained with insistent elaboration, that he had gone to the cotton country because he had heard that the scenery there was excellent for camera work. The event, he said, had proved disappointing. He had taken very few good photographs. The baron listened with intelligent interest, but inwardly he smiled, for he knew that the Amer- M. H. H. Strode to the Window and Looked Out. ican girl dwelt "down south." And suspecting other things he felt a little sorry for Dickie. The Hermit, however, settled down once more into the old groove, and months again sped by until on a certain day he received a letter from one of the members of the Crowd. It told him of the marriage of Bob's mistress. Dickie dropped the letter, strode to the window, and looked out. He could not have explained exactly why he did it, except, perhaps, that he recalled the occasion on which he had first seen her with Bobs zigzagging behind. He gazed for a long, long time upon the fields and orchards that stretched below him, and then threw himself with a sigh on a low couch. Bobs heard the sigh, and with ears thrust forward he peered into his master's face. There was no response, and the dog scrambled up to his knees. Dickie pushed him away and set his teeth together as one who suffers physical pain. Bobs was puzzled. A situation in which his attentions were altogether undesirable was no to him. It was not, indeed, within the limits of possibility. Doubless he had gone to work in the wrow way. Dickie stared with eyes that s... across two continents and an ocean, and Bobs had no place in his line of vision. The dog pondered awhile, and then decided to play his last and best card. Looking wistfully at his master he opened his mouth, and made, with an effort, the sound that was neither a bark nor a growl. It was successful. In a flash Dickie's thoughts had retraveled those thousands of miles, and they were back again in the sitting-room at the castle. Bobs sprang upon him and tried to lick his nose. A smile of satisfaction lit the man's face, a smile of companionship. "Speak, Bobs, old man!" he said, Speak, Bobs! Seizing the Opportunity A little girl and her aunt went for a walk the other day, and as they walked the aunt caught her skirt on the sharp edge of her shoe heel, and tore off several inches of lace. "Will you tear it off for me, dear?" she asked. "I cannot mend it now." The accommodating little girl dropped on her knee, and for several minutes there was a sound of tearing—really much more tearing than was necessary to remove a piece of lace several inches wide. "Haven't you finished yet?" finally asked the aunt. "Yes," said the little girl, rising, wearily. "I was taking all this off. I wanted enough for my doll's skirt while I was about it, and the little bit you tore off wasn't enough."—illustrated IBts. Serves as Fly Paper.

ECZEMA ALL OVER HIM. No Night's Rest for a Year and Limit of His Endurance Soomed Near —Owes Recovery to Cuticura. "My son Clyde was almost completely covered with eczema. Physicians treated him for nearly a year without helping him any. His head, face, and neck were covered with large scabs which he would rub until they fell off. Then blood and matter would run out and that would be worse. Friends coming to see him said that if he got well he would be disfigured for life. When it seemed as if he could possibly stand it no longer, I used some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent. That was the first night for nearly a year that he slept. In the morning there was a great change for the better. in about six weeks he was perfectly well. Our leading physician recommends Cuticura for eczema. Mrs. Algy Cockburn, Shiloh, O, June 11, 1907." One of Bill Nye's. Referring to a real estate transaction made by one Peter Minuit, way back in the year 1628, Bill Nye, in his history of the United States, declared: "New York was afterwards sold for $24; the whole island. When I think of this I go into my family gallery, which I also use as a swear room, and tell those ancestors what I think of them. Where were they when New York sold for $24?" The humor of this strikes deeply when one stops to consider what has been the outcome of this original investment. Peter Minuit, with trinkets and a few bottles of rum, delighted the native indians that they gladly turned over to him the whole of Manhattan island, now the heart of Greater New York—"New York, the Giant City," National Magazine.

One day, while Mrs. Wilson was entertaining some friends in the parlor, the Japanese suddenly appeared in the doorway.
