IN UNION THERE IS STRUCTURE TWENTY-SIXTH TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. NO. 16. Walking Suit The coat of this charming suit is reversible tweed; the color being a rich style and three-quarter length, the high turn-back cuffs and pockets faced with black soutache braid and small cloth which fasten the front of the coat are box-plaited into the armholes, and the e-line give graceful lines to the slim fig model made of the plaid side of the two stylish designs and the plaits are trim matching the ones on the revers and finished with a simple hem and the mast the center-back. A The coat of this charming suit is developed in the plain colored side of reversible tweed; the color being a rich dark red. The model is in Directoire style and three-quarter length, the high, close, turn-over collar, large revers, turn-back cuffs and pockets faced with black velvet, trimmed with loops of black soutache braid and small cloth-covered buttons. The large buttons which fasten the front of the coat are of black velvet. The long sleeves are box-plaited into the armholes, and the side-back seams curving in at the waistline give graceful lines to the slim figure. The skirt is a nine-gored plaited back with a three-quarter sleeve. The plaited, stylish designs and the plaits are trimmed with small cloth-colored buttons, matching the ones on the revers and cuffs of the coat. The lower edge is finished with a simple hem and the model closes under an inverted box-plait at the center-back. AFTERNOON DRESS. Here is a graceful design for coilene in a pale biscuit shade. The high-waisted skirt is cut with a slight fullness in center of back, also a train. The bodice has a yoke of tucked net, edged with a shaped piece of dark brown silk; float insertion, edged with material, forms the bretelles; it is caught up under a buckle at the back; a medallion is sewn at the end of each bretelle in front, where a plaiting of cord joins them together. The sleeves are slightly puffed to the elbow, they continue to the wrist tight, and slightly rucked; a plaiting of chiffon is sewn down the seams and 'round the wrists. Tassels add to the trimming at elbow. Materials required: $7\frac{1}{2}$ yards 44 inches wide, 1 yard silk, 1 yard plaited chiffon; $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards insertion, 6 tassels, 2 medallions, 2 yards cord. Comfort for the Baby. The careful mother, who always wishes her baby to be dainty and clean, will be delighted to hear that very inexpensive and comfortable coach and crib covers may be made of cotton batting sewed between two thicknesses of ordinary white cheese cloth and quilted by machine stitching. This forms the foundation. The outer cover may be of two thicknesses of plque or bunting made just like a bag, with both sides and one end sewed up. The comforter is then slipped in to the outer cover, and to hold it In place a bow of ribbon may be fastened at each corner by little safety pins. This is all the finishing the comforter requires, and it is so easy to remove the outer cover and wash it when it becomes soiled. What a saving of time and trouble this new idea is! THE GAZETTE developed in the plain colored side of a dark red. The model is in Directoire h, close, turn-over collar, large revers, black velvet, trimmed with loops of covered buttons. The large buttons of black velvet. The long sleeves are side-back seams curving in at the waist-ture. The skirt is a nine-gored plaited speed. It is one of the newest and most named with small cloth-covered buttons, cuffs of the coat. The lower edge is model closes under an inverted box-plait INDIAN SHAWLS AS DRAPERY. Empire Gowns for Evening Embel- lished with Shawls, Every woman who possesses among her treasures a large white Indian shawl—embroidered and fringed—has an evening dress ready to her hand, and no dressmaker needed. She has but to have a scant empire dress of white silk or satin, decollete and sleeveless, or perhaps, with a tiny edge of lace which forms a four-inch deep sleeve. Then taking the shawl and folding it in triangular shape, leaving one point a few inches longer than the other, place it across the bust under the arms, with the point coming in the front center of the skirt, cross the ends in the back and bring one over each shoulder, attaching it on either side just at the arm pits, letting the points fall front. With three artistic brooches or rhinestone pins, or cameos (which are better still) on one on either side in front and one in the back—one has the most artistic kind of dress for this year's fashion. It goes without saying that the shawl must be drawn as tight as will allow one to step to be really smart. Naturally heelless satin slippers with ribbons about the ankles should be worn with a dress like this, and no gloves, and the hair should be dressed simply so as to show the shape of the head. Dainty Erills. Some women have a fancy for plain, sheer ruffling, and they like it better than lace or embroidery for trimming underwear. For such there are dainty frillings, which come in all widths, some of which are hemstitched, while all are supplied with a drawing string by which to gather them. These are easily applied to the edge of hems, as there are no raw edges to be disposed of. The trimming is quaint and reminds one of her grandmother's linens piled with tiny stitches and redolent of lavender. Soutache extends even to sash trimming and will be seen used as an ornament in the heart of large rosettes and also upon the ends of sashes in little curves or flowers of graceful form. Easily Laundered Sleeves. To lessen materially the difficulty of ironing a shirtwalt sleeve open the sleeve from shoulder to wrist after joining the under arm seam, hem the raw edges, finish the forward lap with lace and join the sleeve again with button holes and tiny flat pearl buttons. The result is not only practical, enabling one to iron a shirtwalt in about half the time it usually takes, but extremely pretty. Lace Curtains. Cut off the lower scalloped edge of your lace curtain around the turn and lay it on the net above, where it is worn out "from the sun and dust striking it," then finish cutting. Baste and sew to the good part by machine, cut all the old net away and you have a good pair of curtains reaching to the window sills. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1908. BLACK HEROES IN THE PHILIPPINES BLACK HEROES IN THE PHILIPPINES SOME UNWRITTEN HISTORY THAT IS THRILLINGLY INTERESTING. WHITE REPUBLICANS REFUSE To March Behind Afro-Americans in a Jollification Parade Last Week —Got on Their Knees to Them Before Election, But Kicked Them, Good and Hard, After It—Local News. Most Disgraceful Conduct! Editor Gazette, Dear Slr: The spirit of the proslavery Whig and Democrat which led men before the war to rotten-egg Mr. Urquhart in this city for an anti-slavery speech, still burns fresh in the Republican and Democratic descendants of those men as was manifest by the Negro-haters in the Republican jollification parade on last week Friday evening when the white paraders broke up the parade rather than march for a few blocks to the courthouse and proclaimed turned out to assist in "forgetting Brownville." Most of our colored voters toward the close of the recent campaign listened to the speeches of men who hate them inwardly, but smile on them for their votes, and voted the same old way. Some actually joined the marching club. All went well as long as they were trailing behind the whites meekly, all manaign, same as ours, led them tightly as at the end of a dog some months since by an officer with no protest from anybody, white or black. On jollification night there was a parade and the black paraders were second as the Republicans intended them to be. After a feed, all were to march to the headquarters to hear a speech. The black boys formed first and got behind the band by accident. When the band started, the black boys started, and the white Republican paraders yelled "halt," but the black boys did not halt any more than they did up San Juan hill when they saved the skins of the white troops. Next the white Republican paraders tried to double quick ahead of the black boys, but could not get in because the black marchers hugged the band too close Up Washington. The black boys paraded the speech paraders fled second, yelling "fall out, don't follow the niggers." "Drop out at Fourth street." "March up Washington street." At Fourth and Washington streets the white Republicans disbanded and the speech was never made at headquarters. Crowds of Republican on the sidewalks cheered the white Republican paraders for dropping out. The Negro voters swear they are done forever marching with the Republican and they are going to do very independent voting in the future, a thing many should have done on the reopened party by daymaxxing out the party this year for the last time. The affair showed that local white Republicans can be as mean as Tillman and Vardaman. When they get the black man's votes they have no further use for him.

"JIM CROW" LAW UPHELD By the Republican U. S. Supreme Court—"Hurrah for Taft," Now Washington, D. C.—Right on the heels of the recent election, Taft's victory, the Republican U. S. supreme court has handed the Negro Republicans of the country, and particularly those who were foolish enough to support and vote for Taft, the rottenest "tenon" ever given a loyal people by an ungrateful party. It really seems past understanding. Thank you for your respect and race respect and manhood and did not vote for Taft or Bryan either Monday the supreme court of the United States held constitutional the Kentucky "Jim Crow" law, making it a criminal offense for any corporation to operate a college where persons of white and Negro races are received together as students. The case came to the supreme court on an appeal by Berea college, which was convicted of violating the law. The claim of the college was that the act conflicted with the fourteenth amendment to the federal constitution. That grand old Kentucky Democrat, Justice Harlan, and Justice Day filed dissenting opinions. Justice Harlan in his dissenting opinion said in part: "If the lower court be right then a public college should be colored and colored persons to frequent the same market places at the same time, or appear in an assemblage of citizens convened to consider questions of a public or political nature in which all citizens, without regard to race, are equally interested. Many other illustrations might be given to show the mischievous, not to say cruel, character of the statute in question and how inconsistent it is with the great principle of the equality of citizens before the law." Justice Harlan considered the Kentucky law unconstitutional. The U. S. supreme court is simply carrying out President "Brownville" Roosevelt's policy toward our people which President-elect Taft unqualifiedly endorsed. Will Afro-Americans ever wake up to the fact that there is absolutely no difference in the present Roosevelt-Taft controlled Republican party and southern Democracy as far as we are concerned except that the Norman is far more hurtful and dangerous nosing as our friend, being in control of the government and Republican party, and in sympathy with southern Democracy as far as our people are concerned? Prof W. S. Scarborough Now Prof. W. S. Scarborough Now President Wilberforce, O.-The executive board of the Wilberforce university has elected Prof. W. S. Scarborough, who has been acting as its president for the past three months, the regular president, and ex-Chaplain in U. S. Army, T. G. Stewart, vice president.

We threw the Negroes out the other night and served notice on them that they could vote for the Democratic candidate; that we were done with Negroes.-Jack Engin, Republican candidate for congress in San Antonio district.-Fort Worth (Tex.) Record. Substantially this statement is reported upon good authority to have been made by the Republican candidate for congress in the San Antonio congressional district. It is entirely consistent with the action of the white members of the San Antonio Republican executive committee, as reported by the San Antonio press, in holding a meeting without notice to the Negro members and naming a "illy white" ticket. And this is all in accord with the policy of the human Lyon, who has methodically eliminated the Negro from Texas Republican politics. A few years ago the "illy white" Republican movement was considered party treason by the regulars; now it seems to have entirely absorbed the party in this state. Hence, the Negro does not find it necessary to consider President Roosevelt's action in the Brownsville affair nor the expressions of Mr. Taft in the letter to Vorys about Foraker to find evidence that the party he has so long sustained in power is thrown him overboard as a valuable Jonah of reproach.-Houston (Tex.) Post. SAVED ETHEL ROOSEVELT'S LIFE Will He Get a Carnegie "Hero Medal" —A Young Afro-American to the Rescue. Buffalo, N. Y.—Miss Ethel Roosevelt narrowly escaped serious injury while with the Genesee Valley Hunt club recently. While riding across a swamp the horn of her saddle broke. Her mount was going fast and she hung in a dangerous position while the animal tried to run away. Harp Wilson, a colored boy, drove his horse to the front and reached Miss Roosevelt's side just in time to rescue the president's daughter from her perilous position. After a new saddle fit, she held the hunt. When the saddle horn broke, the horse plunged and reared. Miss Roosevelt hung pluckily to the reins with one hand, and maintained her position on the animal's back by grasping his mane with the other. The horse was rapidly getting beyond her control, and she was falling when Harp, her savior, grasped the bridle. Black soldiers saved Col. Roosevelt's life in Cuba, and now an Afro-America boy "tump the tie" for Ebola his unmarried daughter. We ought to have received and ought now to receive far better treatment at his hands and from his administration than we have received and do now receive. The Randall-Barnes Marriage. Olean, N.

The town was founded during the Spanish-American war, and was named in honor of Congressman Hobson. Mrs. L. S. Jones and guests visited in Youngstown Sunday. IN UNION WE STRENGTHEN A. B. Cleveland's Most Aggressive and One of Our Ablest Ministers—Proud of Him! In all of our life in this city, and all of it except our first two years have been spent in Cleveland, our people here have never been blessed with a pastor Dr. Bailey's peer in aggressive loyalty to the race. He is a man of education and ability, a thinker who has the courage of his opinions and convictions, and stands up boldly for his people regardless of the thoughts and opinions of others, or of the cost to himself. The best thinking Afro-Americans of this community and hundreds of others, are proud of him, so helpful to those of the race here, has he proven. Under his guidance and leadership, Antioch Baptist church has grown to one of our largest and most important congregations. As a speaker and church and race worker, Dr. Bailey is convincing and most successful. More power to him and his kind. God knows they are needed. JUST BY THE WAY.

Attorney Charles Sutton said to a Gazette representative Tuesday: "Tell Tom Fleming and The Cleveland Toilet-paper that their reference to me in last week's issue of their campaign sheet, as described in the letter, that they are trying to cover up an inexcusable exhibition of ignorance, by resorting to meaningless epithets; that the foolish proposition put forward by Fleming in the mass meeting at Woodford hall November 2 was fully explained by me at the time. He was and is now a corrector of the United States supreme court has no more power to pass upon the constitutionality of any section of the United States constitution or any of its amendments than the state supreme court has to pass upon the constitutionality of any part of Ohio's constitution. About every year the Supreme Court has its calibre seem to know this fact." Rabi for Attorney Sutton. "Nahoodym," brow and shiny teeth, luscious lips and Cyrano nose, announced last week in the Cleveland Toll-paper, with apparent glee, characteristic of the midnight glove, that "H. C. S. was down and out, etc. etc. For increased edification of our illly 'tily white' rattle 'black and tan' and (2) we wish to remind all that "H. C. S. has" been "down and out" according to political ghouls so many times in the last twenty-five years only to "come again" that our history, at least in this respect, may be reasonably expected to repeat itself, and we shall see that it does. In the beginning we announced (and mean it) that we would go down and out with the great outspoken friend in public life, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker. Neither he nor us are "down and out" by a good deal, much as some traitorous Negroes would have it so. Have a care, lest you jollify too soon. "He laughs best who laughs last." Better lend an ear to Welcome's latest selection, "Listen to the Mocking Bird," and meanwhile be as careful as you have been in the past. "He laughs best in C. C. S." track lest you get run over again, "Nahoodym." The fifteen members-elect of the Cuyahoga county legislative delegation met with Congressman T. E. Burton, Congressman Paul Howland and Chairman E.

Although it may seem a bit modest in me, I might say that each and every one of the delegation said he favored me as the successor of Mr. Foraker. They will act as a unit on all lerisolation." Mr. Eubanks, the M. Afro-American member of the delegation, in a speech three or four weeks ago Tuesday night, at the joint meeting of the Douglass Republican club and the Independent Republican "league" in Woodliff hall, when he was appealing for votes, pledged him to the Democratic party any time after the first ballot for U. S. senator there was a possibility of re-electing the senator, and the loyal Afro-Americans of this community will hold him to that publicly made pledge. He also said he was not pledged to vote for any one after the first ballot. Let all watch with careful eye his course in the legislature when the election of senator comes up early in January. There must be no delay. He said he was a barber of a grateful race to its one great and only outspoken friend in the halls of congress, SENATOR JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER. The Maison-Wilson Marriage.

Read what Madam Robinson, the Famous Black Pattl, Queen of the Opera, says of Kink-ine PROF. ROBERTS, New York City, Dear Sir: I have used your Kink-ine for the past year and my hair is growing very fast. I find it the most delightful hair dressing and tonic I have ever used, altogether different from the many cheap pomades and vaselines on the market. It makes my hair so beautiful, soft, silky, and has entirely removed all dandruff and stopped it from falling out and breaking off. And enables me to do it up in any of the many styles that I use on the stage. It does all you claim for it, and I would not be without it. Yours sincerely, MME, ROBINSON. Kink-ine Hair Dressing is a delightful perfumed tonic prepared largely for the use of colored people; is guaranteed to be absolutely safe and harmless. It makes harsh, stubborn, kinky, curly hair soft, silky and glossy, enables you to comb it with ease and to dress it in any style that you may wish. KINK-INE HAIR DRESSING by supplying the needed oils directly to the roots of the hair tones up and nourishes the scalp, increasing the growth and giving new life and vigor to the hair. Straighten Your Hair DEAR Sisters:--I have used only one bottle of your powder and lime. I am going to use without it now. Makes my hair soft and straight and easy to comb and also starts a new growth. Miss W. W. Warrigus, St. I. Harriman, Tean on every package.

I took medicine from the doctor, but it did me no good. "I found in one of your Peruna books a description of my symptoms. I then wrote a letter to you, and said I had catarrh of the stomach. I took Peruna and Manalin and followed his directions and can now say that I feel as well as I ever did. "I hope that all who are afflicted with the same symptoms will take Peruna, and I will be able to do that. The above is only one of hundreds who have written similar letters to Dr. Hartman. Just one such case as this entitles Peruna to the candid consideration of every one similarly afflicted.

SICK HEADACHE THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1908. Practical Fashions BROOKLYN Paris Pattern No. 2596, All Stams Allowed.—For the more dressy shirt waist, made up in messaline, silk volle, chiffon cloth, taffetas or surah silk, this is an excellent pattern. The wide tucks at the front and over the shoulders give the required fullness, and the model fastens at the center-back. Silk which has been hand-embroidered is used for the yoke and turn-back cuffs; the material tucked to form a shield and undersleeves, which, if desired, may be of contrasting material. The sleeves may be made in seven-eighths or three-quarter length, according to taste. The pattern is in seven sizes—32 to 44 inches, bust measure. For 36 bust the waist requires 4½ yards of material 20 inches wide, 3½ yards 27 inches wide, 2½ yards 36 inches wide, or 2¼ yards 42 inches wide; as illustrated, five-eighths yard of tucking 18 inches wide for collar, shield and undersleeves. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to "Pattern Department," of this paper, to name and address family, and be sure to send a copy of the pattern. NO 2596. SIZE..... NAME..... TOWN..... STREET AND NO..... STATE.... CHILD'S BOX COAT. — Paris Pattern No. 2661, All Seams Allowed—This simple little all-cover coat is developed in tan-colored Venetian cloth, with trimmings of black soutache braid and black satin-covered buttons. The model hangs straight from the shoulders, the side seams being slit up slightly. All the stitching is done with black silk, and the full sleeves are gathered into the armhole and wristbands. The patch pockets are slightly pointed at the lower edge, and are set well toward the front. The model is an excellent one for the every-day coat made up in dark blue or black frieze cloth, lined with a brilliant-colored silk or satin. The pattern is in five sizes, one-half to seven years. For a child of five years the coat requires $2\%$ yards of material 27 inches wide, $2\%$ yards 36 inches wide, $1\%$ yards 42 inches wide, or $1\%$ yards 54 inches wide; one yard of braid. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to the Department of Arts. Write name and address plainly, and be sure to give size and number of pattern. Find Good Market in Mexico. When it is learned that over one-half of the foreign merchandise consumed in Mexico is supplied by the United States, and that the total value of the imports from this country for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908, was $58,617,593 (gold), it will be understood how strong are the ties of commerce between the two republic. The United States transacts with Mexico more than three times the amount of trade that either Great Britain or Germany does and five-fold the business that is reported by France. And if we add together the imports into Mexico from all of Europe and the United Kingdom there is still shown a balance in favor of the United States of nearly $10,000,000 annually.—The Mining World.

BOY KEPT SCRATCHING. Eczema Lasted 7 Years—Face Was Al Raw—Skin Specialists Failed, But Cuticura Effected Cu. "When my little boy was six weeks on an eruption broke out on his face, I tock; him to a doctor, but his face kept on getting worse until it got so bad that no one could look at him. His whole face was one crust and must have been very painful. He scratched day and night until his face was raw. Then I took him to all the best specialists in skin diseases but they could not do much for him. The eczema got on his arms and legs and we could not get a night's sleep in months. I got a set of Cuticura dies and he felt relieved the first time I used them. I gave the Cuticura Remedies a good trial and gradually the eczema healed all up. He is now seven years old and I think the trous ble will never return. Mrs. John G Klumpp, 80 Niagara St., Newark, N J, Oct. 17 and 22, 1907." SEEMED A TRIFLE PERSONAL. Clergyman's Particular Reason for Omitting the Fifth Verse. A clergyman in an interior town married a woman from whom he received a dowry of $10,000 and a prospect of more. Shortly afterwards, while occupying the pulpit, he gave out a hymn, read the first verse and proceeded to read the fifth, commencing: "Forever let my grateful heart," then he hesitated and exclaimed: "The choir will omit the fifth verse." Some of the congregation read the verse for themselves and smiled as they read: Forever let my grateful heart His boundless grace adore. With gladness and blessings now And bids me hope for more. Uncle Zeb's Preference Uncle Zebulon was on a visit to his nephew in the big city and the two had gone to a restaurant for dinner. They had given their order and were waiting for it to be filled when the younger man, who had been glancing at a paper that lay on the table, said: said: "By the way, uncle, did you ever have cerebro-spinal meningitis?" "No," replied Uncle Zebulon, after a few moments' mental struggle with the question, "and I don't want any. I'd ruther have fried liver and bacon any day." The Little Girl and the Donkey. The four-year-old daughter of a Washington man not long ago saw a donkey for the first time. She talked to her father a good deal touching the musual sight. It was a "dear donkey," it was a "lovely donkey," etc. Soon the child exhausted her stock of adjectives. "And so you liked the donkey, did you?" asked the fond parent. "Oh, so much, 'daddy'!" returned the youngster. "That is, I liked him pretty well. But I didn't like to hear him dank."-Lincolnott's. EAGER TO WORK The average healthy man or woman is usually eager to be busy at some useful task or employment. But let dyspepsia or indigestion get hold of one, and all endeavor becomes a burden. "A year ago, after recovering from an operation," writes a Mich. lady, "my stomach and nerves began to give me much trouble. "At times my appetite was voracious, but when indulged, indigestion followed. Other times I had no appetite whatever. The food I took did not pourish me, and I grew weaker than ever. "I lost interest in everything, and wanted to be alone. I had always had good nerves, but now the merest trifle would upset me and bring on a violent headache. Walking across the room was an effort and prescribed exercise was out of the question. "I had seen Grape-Nuts advertised, but did not believe what I read, at the time. At last when it seemed as if I were literally starving, I began to eat Grape-Nuts. "I had not been able to work for a year, but now after two months on Grape-Nuts I am eager to be at work again. My stomach gives me no trouble now, my nerves are steady as ever, and interest in life and ambition have came back with the return to health." "There's a Reason."

It means routine, true, and full of human interest. EXCELLENT WEATHER AND MAGNIFICENT CROPS REPORTS FROM WESTERN CAN ADA ARE VERY ENCOURAGING. A correspondent writes the Winnipeg (man.) Free Press: "The Pincher Creek district, (Southern Alberta), the original home of fall wheat, where it has been grown without failure, dry seasons and wet, for about 25 years, is excelling itself this year. The yield and quality are both phenomenal, as has been the weather for its harvesting. Forty bushels is a common yield, and many fields go to 50, 60 and over, and most of it No. 1 Northern. Even last year, which was less favorable, similar yields were in some cases obtained, but owing to the season the quality was not so good. It is probably safe to say that the average yield from the Old Man's River to the boundary will be 47 or 48 bushels per acre, and mostly No. 1 Northern. One man has just made a net profit from his crop of $19.55 per acre, or little less than the selling price of land. Land here is too cheap at present, when a crop or two will pay for it, and a failure almost unknown. Nor is the district dependent on wheat, all other crops do well, also stock and dairying, and there is a large market at the doors in the mining towns up the Crows Nest Pass, and in British Columbia, for the abundant hay of the district, and poultry, pork, and garden truck. Coal is near and cheap. Jim Hill has an eye on its advantages, and has invested here, and is bringing the Great Northern Railroad soon, when other lines will follow." The wheat, oat and barley crop in other parts of Western Canada show splendid yields and will make the farmers of that country (and many of them are Americans) rich. The Canadian Government Agent for this district advises us that he will be pleased to give information to all who desire it about the new land regulations by which a settler may now secure 160 acres in addition to his 160 home-stead acres, at $3.00 an acre, and also how to reach these lands into which railways are being extended. It might be interesting to read what is said of that country by the Editor of the Marshall (Minn.) News-Messenger, who made a trip through portions of it in July, 1908. "Passing through more than three thousand miles of Western Canada's agricultural lands, touring the northern and southern farming belts of the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, with numerous drives through the great grain fields, we were made to realize not only the magnificence of the crops, but the magnitude, in measures, of the vast territory opening, and to be opened to farming immigration. There are hundreds of thousands of farmers there, and millions of acres under cultivation, but there is room for millions more, and other millions of acreage available. We could see in Western Canada in soil, product, topography or climate, little that is different from Minnesota, and with meeting at every point many business men and farmers who went there from this state, it was difficult to realize one was beyond the boundary of the country." Mr. Asker—Do you find your new auto a good climber, Harryry? Harry—Well, it's not a speed marvel when it comes to running up hills, but say, old man, you just ought to see it run up a bill. His Epitaph. "I have just one request," said the dying man to his relatives. "What is it?" they asked him earnestly. "We will grant you anything." "Well," replied the man, feebly, "I want you to have carved upon my monument these words: 'Here lies a man who worked for his living.'" Realizing that he had forestalled any attempt on the part of his rich relations to brag too much about their family connections, he sank into a sweet sleep. Would Risk One More Bottle A Frenchman from the provinces who was paying a prolonged visit to Paris found his hair was leaving him at the top of his head, and took his barber to task about it. "You sold me two bottles of stuff to make the hair grow." "It is very strange it won't grow again," said the modern Figaro; "I can't understand it." "Look here!" said the countryman. "I don't mind drinking another bottle, but this must be the last!"—Philadelphia Inquirer. How's This?

One very great advantage which nuts possess over most foods is their absolute freedom from adulteration. When you buy nuts, you always know what you are getting. Of course, those bought in the shell are also absolutely clean. And what a beautiful source they come from!

English Munchauchen Had Shade the Better of Fellow Romancer. The Cape Cod man and the Londoner were traveling on the same train together from Liverpool to the capital. "Yes," said the Yankee, "we do have considrable fog out our way. I've seen it so thick that the land-ladies of our summer boardin' houses could ladie it out and use it instead o' whipped egg for the heavy part of the floatin' island." "We ave 'em, too, in London," said his traveling companion, "but our climate is too dirty to permit of our eatin' it. We burn so much soft coal, you see, the fog gets packed full of soot. The only thing we really can do with it is to cut it up into blocks and use it instead of peat when we want a quick fire."
