IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH TWENTY-SIXTH TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. NO. 26. Late Designs Late Designs THE FASHION OF THE EIGHTH CENTURY The first costume is a dainty little bodice in silk spotted voile, to match the skirt. The fullness, back and front, is gathered into a band of insertion; an opening is made at the top of the deep armhole, the rucked sleeve coming from underneath it, and being finished at the elbow by a band of insertion. Satin ribbon, the color of spot, forms the waist-band, and is loosely knotted in front with ends left hanging. Materials required: One and one-half yard volle 42 inches wide, 2 yards insertion, $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards satin ribbon. For the second, a simple dress, coarse black fillet net is employed, and is worn over pale gold soft satin; the skirt fits plainly round the hips, and is trimmed at the foot by a fold of net headed by a band of gold passementerie. Passementerie heads the pretty shaped top of bodice, to which the net is gathered; the short rucked sleeve is finished by passementerie at the elbow. A soft, black satin ribbon is brought round the waist, and loosely tied at the left side. Materials required: Nine yards net 42 inches wide, 7 yards passementerie, 6 yards satin 42 inches wide for foundation, $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards satin ribbon. White muslin-del-sole, with a blue and green sprig printed on it, is chosen for the charming design shown in the third picture; the skirt is high-waisted, and trimmed with strips of insertion, the two center strips being taken to the top flounce, the others only half way; the deep flounce is set to the skirt by a heading, and trimmed THE NEW BUTTERFLY COMB. There are butterfly barettes and butterfly combs and silver butterflies, all to be worn in the hair, but only one at a time. This comb is worn at the top of a Payche knot or three puffs. The butterfly is of finely wrought gold bands with the body made of colored stones, and it is mounted on a shell hairpin. Green Cloth and Fur. Many of the modern gowns take the oldest inhabitant back to another generation with a swing. What girl was there 30 years ago who didn't want or own a tight-fitting green broadcloth gown made with an overskirt, tight, long sleeves and the edges of the gown bordered with brown fur. This precise costume is back in fashion, overskirt, tight sleeves, fur bands and all. In addition to this is a round toque of brown fur, with a green silk center and a perky feather standing upright at the side. The wearer carries in her hand a granny's muff of brown fur. Dark Colors in Vogue. In all the gowns and in all dresses for morning wear or simple afternoon wear dark colors are those most in vogue, but there are certain bright tints of old rose and saffron that are exceedingly fashionable. THE GAZETTE by two rows of insertion near the foot. Insertion also edges the bodice, and trims the center back and front and the sleeve which is cut in one with the remainder of bodice; several pin tucks are made on the shoulder front and back of bodice, also the sleeve. Emerald green velvet bows are sewn between the insertion down the center of front; the waistband is also of velvet. Materials required: Twelve yards 27 inches wide, 20 yards insertion, 1 yard velvet. The next is an evening bodice of fine cashmere and spotted net. Atlantic green is the color of the cashmere with cream net, a wide tuck is made on each shoulder, and three on each sleeve; a fold of black satin is laid on the inside of cashmere, and also edges the top net of which fills in the center of front; the under sleeves are also of net finished by a band of insertion. Materials required: One yard cashmere 48 inches wide, $1\frac{1}{4}$ yard net 42 inches wide, $\frac{1}{2}$ yard satin 42 inches wide. Peacock blue Rajah satin is employed for the elegant dress shown last. The overskirt, which is brought up towards the left side, is edged with black satin laid on in Greek key pattern, so also is the foot of the underskirt, and the edge of bodice, where the satin is finely tucked and set to it; folds are arranged on the outer side of sleeve, a black satin sash is taken round the waist, caught up under the buckle at the left side and the ends left hanging; they are edged with handsome fringe. SCHEME OF PANSY DECORATION. Charming Novelty for the Next Lunch- ceon You May Give. A decoration for a luncheon that is seldom yet, yet which may be made very charming, is a low silver bowl filled with pansies in all colors. If the stems are not specially long, a piece of wire netting can be placed over the top of the bowl and the pansies stuck in it. The effect is enhanced if the bowl is set on a large, round mirror surrounded with a border of small ferns. At each plate have a small pot of growing pansies, which may later be given as souvenirs. These look well if the pots are set in small paper cases made of stiff cardboard covered with silver paper. Should there be a guest of honor, her plants may be larger than the other, or the case can be a small silver jardiniere. The candle shades should carry out the predominating tones of the pansies. Silver candlesticks should be used if possible. Effective shades can be made of white paper garlanded with artificial pansies. Fleur-de-Lis Buttonholes When the fashions for ornamental buttonholes began it was argued that they would run the gamut of shape. They are now doing it. From the straight buttonhole made of satin, velvet and braid we now have all manner of designs up to the fuerde-lis which is put on dressy frocks whether they are made in blouse or coat suits. The shape is quite attractive and adds a striking finish to an otherwise plain costume. Care must be taken not to dab many on injudiciously for the tendency to-day is to overtrim. Use these buttonholes as trimming. Do not add them to other varieties. Jabot Effects. Eighteenth century effects are ethereal looking affairs, made from ten-inch wide silk scalloped, closely set triple box-plaited lisse stitched through the center and attached to a wide inner ribbon band which joins at the back beneath a fluffy lisse butterfly bow. Sometimes the ruching is set upon the top edge of an inch and a half wide embroidered band or chiffon lined silver ribbon and closes under huge, outspreading bow.

LIKE AN OASIS IN A GREAT DESERT LIKE AN OASIS IN A GREAT DESERT OF SHAMS, FALSE AND RIDICU LOUS PRETENTIONS, WAS OUR EDITORIAL. ON THE RACE'S SUPERLATIVES Republished Elsewhere In This Pape —Editor James Samuel Stemons of The Philadelphia Weekly Pilot Indores it Strongly. Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 25, 1999. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: It is because of my innate disposition to give credit where credit is due and to show my heartfelt appreciation for whatever is said or which tends to elevate the race and mankind to a higher plane of thinking and acting, that I am writing you. In order that the race and mankind recognize it, it is necessary for me to state in the most positive terms (what I should have otherwise allowed to go absolutely unnoticed) that I am in no way courting the slightest attention or recognition from you in your capacity as an editor. I am fully cognizant of the fact that an element of our people take special pains to ignore whatever service I may have to offer to the race, to derer the race, by maintaining a studied silence with reference to my most earnest efforts—even to the extent of ignoring personal communications; and I would not turn my hand, by if so doing I could swerve a single inch this class of Negroes from their chosen line of action, so far as I am individually concerned. It is an axiom that the narrow man is a far more man than his life himself to the man toward whom he exhibits narrowness; and at all events, I have studied the Negro long enough to know that very few of the race have advanced far enough to give wholesouled recognition to any unusual worth possessed, or service rendered by members of the race till such recognition is practically wring from them. But as I have suggested, it is not the man who has worth or appreciate service who should be pitted, and not the few who have worth, and render service. But with those who fail to appreciate the worth and service of the few really progressive members of the race, I have naught to do. As I said in the beginning, such recognition and appreciation are a part of my nature. It is because of this fact that we have been many a day since I have read an article applying directly to the Negro which appealed to me with such force as did your last week's editorial headed "Race Superlatives." It is like an oasis in a desert of shams and false and ridiculous pretensions to find you so fully appreciating the failures and limitations. And we had just as well make up our minds, first as last, that we will be a failure—in all things pertaining to high civilization, as well as a laughing stock for persons of intelligence, till we come to realize our own short-comings just as they are pointed out in your blunt, but convincing editions of the book, numerous to mention. I dare say that there is scarcely a Negro in the land who would not be the better for reading that editorial. It pretty thoroughly covers the ground discussed, though you might have alluded to the manner in which the most ordinary Negro gathering is almost sure to be addressed by the "Hon." Plat-Foot Johnson, of the Rt Hon. "Pleace Williams, neither of whom has ever been known to do an "honorable" thing, and both of whom are unknown outside of their immediate neighborhoods. Yours truly. JAMES SAMUEL STEMONS. Editor of The Pilot. A "Concotion" Which Causes Him to Be Severely Rebuked—At His Old Tricks Again—The Recent Cleveland" Letter in... offense because of its futility as an argument and its ineffectiveness as a scare-crow, where these might have been important—for the offense in this matter, and in cognate matters, and in partisanship nor intended misleading, but expected in a campaign from some sources and some organs—but it is the presuming on, and the parading of, the implied mental imbecility of the man who is supposed representative man. Shaken on Tyler: —Alexandria (via) Horizon "Brownsville" and Liberia. Washington, D. C.—The services of Brown and Baldwin, the private detectives, who were paid $15,000 for their miserable work in hounding members of "The Black Battalion," and securing an alleged "confession" from Boyd Conyers, have been dispensed with. The war department has not ordered his own war crimes. President Roosevelt has transmitted to congress with approval a letter from Secretary of State Root asking that authority be given for the appointment of a commission of three Americans to go to Liberia and assist that republic in strengthening its hold on the reigns of government. He also asks for an appropriation of $20,000 for the expenses of the commission. Arrangements are being made for a testimonial and presentation to Senator Foraker for his services and sacrifices for our race, and particularly for his efforts on behalf of "The Black Battalion." The testimonial will take the form of a public meeting and recollection of the events of March 6. The preliminary arrangements are in the hands of a committee. ONE HUNDRED LYNCHINGS By States. The number of lynchings in the various states and territories was as follows: Alabama, 4; Arkansas, 1; California, 1; Florida, 4; Georgia, 16; Illinois, 2; Kentucky, 10; Louisiana, 1; Mississippi, 10; North Carolina, 1; South Carolina, 1; Texas, 21; Virginia, 1; or south, 97; north 3. Of the total number 93 were Negroes and seven whites. The crimes alleged were as follows: Murder, 34; criminal assault, 12; arson, 5; murderous assault, 6; making threats, 4; expressing malice in murder, 3; suspicions of arson, 3; by night riders, 2; robbery 2; rae loting, 2; disappointment at a colored entertainment, 1; mistaken identity, 2; conspiracy to do violence 1; offensive language, 1; complicity in criminal assault, 1; highwayman, 1; unknown, 1; insulting white woman "Talk Is Cheap." Xenia, Q.—The N. Y. Age says, "Taft is one of the Negro's best friends since Lincoln." Evidently it is judging from what Mr. Taft has been saying of late, certainly not from anything he has done for the Negro. Experience has taught us not to count our chickens before they hatch. President Roosevelt, at the beginning of his kind of an impression with his talk about the "door of hope," the "square deal," etc., for the Negro, and we were led to believe that there was none like him. But what can we say about his friendship now? Talk is one of the cheapest things in the world, and we have learned to judge men by their acts and not by their talk, almost out of touch, out to do, in respect to the south, it will be impossible for him to be a friend of the Negro. For weeks Mr. Taft has been counting the south with all the fervor of an ardent lover, and it is not likely that he will do anything, during his administration, to insult or anger the south. As yet, Mr. Taft has not done one thing to merit our confidence. Then let us wait and see what happens to the congregation is real humorous, if not ridiculous, to compare Mr. Taft, in any way, with Abraham Lincoln.—Rev. Smith Carter, who died last week, was insured for $3,000—Religious excitement is running high in the local Baptist church. At 25 cents a head, 300 members of the congregation of Zion church saw their pastor. Rev. John T. Kerr, and Miss Alice Beatrice Kerr, Caroling particularly. The wedding marked the culmination of evangelistic services which had been conducted in the church for two weeks. The officiating clergyman was the Rev. E. W. Moore of Philadelphia. Sues for Land Worth $500,000 Bellefontaine, O.—Although nearly 100 years old, Mrs. Mary Hughes of West Liberty, this county, recently filed a suit to obtain possession of land in Kentucky valued at $500,000. Mrs. Hughes was a slave before the civil war and declares the property was sequestered to her by her master.

OUR WOMEN CONTINUE To Marry White Men, South and North—More of This in the Past Five Years Than of Our Men Marrying White Women. Richmond, Va.—At Farmville, on the 20th, Marcus Lindsay and his wife were sentenced to serve 18 years in the penitentiary. Lindsay is the son of a white woman, and, although he has Negro血 in his veins and assemblies in the court held that he has enough Caucasian blood to be legally white, Lindsay recently married Mrs. Sophia Jones, the widow of another Afro-American, and has since lived with her. They were indicted under the law prohibiting intermarriages between the races. The judge declared that he pardon the petition, but pardon the prisoners, upon conditions that their marital relations should cease. O, " rats!" How far the prejudiced white south is behind can be seen from this, when one remembers that Lindsay would never have been molested if he had lived with Mrs. Jones (if she would have permitted him to do so) without the formality of a marriage ceremony. Carmil, Ill.—While his bride-elect sat in a cab near the courthouse, James A. King (white), claiming Rockport, Ind., as his home, obtained a license on January 19 to marry Mrs. Jennie Wallace. Rev. E. Green, a member of the race, reported the marriage. The judge Rockport. It was the first mixed marriage that ever took place in this county. Even White county shows signs of progress. FIXES PATRONAGE FOR SOUTH Taft Puts Reorganization in the Hands of Chairman Hitchcock—"Lily-Whites" are Recognized. Washington, D. C.—Frank Hitchcock, chairman of the Republican national committee, had a lengthy interim and other "lily-whites" leaders of Louisiana on the 18th. Later he had a conference with Representative Langley of Kentucky and "lily-white" leaders from nearly every one of the southern states. He will take up with them the distribution of federal patronage. Mr. Hitchcock has been intrusted by President Taft with arranging an entirely new set of southern referees and advisers, most all of whom are "lily-whites" and Democrats, for Mr. Taft during his administration. The latter wishes to continue his cultivation of the southern (white) people. In line with a recent public utterance, he may give the south a complete new office. Taft, with arranging an entirely service, and one which "will command the respect and confidence of the southern people (white) irrespective of party affiliations." Most of the Afro-American "Bread and Butter Brigade," federal office-holders, in this city, and southern Afro-American of office-holders will be "let out." George W. Johnson spent three days in Pittsburgh last week on business. C IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH POSTMASTER JOSEPH C. MAN- NING. President Roosevelt has sent to the United States senate the name of one H. C. Willis, as the would-be successor to Postmaster Joseph C. Manning of Alexander City, Ala. The friends of Mr. Manning everywhere are urged to immediately write to the United States senators in Washington, D. C., from their respective states, and request that the nomination of Willis not be confirmed. This effort to oust Mr. Manning as postmaster is done because Mr. Manning has not been in line with the anti-Negro policy of President Roosevelt, and because he has opposed disfranchisement.

Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, 1994 to 1991 1990 to 1993 1990 to 1992 Cleveland, Saturday, January 30, 1909. 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. A little more of the aggressive effort in the local courts, under our Ohio civil rights law, such as Messrs. Walter L. Brown and George T. Smith have inaugurated (noted elsewhere in this paper) will go far toward eliminating this latest Cleveland color-line which we are sorry to say there is indication of Afro-Americans being a party to. A right worth exercising is certainly worth contending for in the courts when unjustly denied. Every colored man in the United States, who has professed religion, should go down upon his knees in thankfulness, when the wild reign of President Roosevelt ends.—Richmond (Va.) Planet. That is all right, Editor Mitchell, as far as it goes. But what about asking the Lord to keep the "Czar of Brownsville" in Africa when he gets there, and to protect us from his successor, as chief executive, and his very dear, newly-made friend, the south—"illy-whites." Democrats and all their kind? Senator Ben Tillman says he is "not opposed to the education of the Negro at all, provided it is of the right kind." He believes in industrial education only for our people. President-elect Taft says only our leaders should have the higher education and all the rest should be given an industrial education. The matter of the education of our leaders is the only point of difference between the two. Not much, is it? Neither are wholly right. We need all we can get of all kinds of education that benefit any other race. Russia, Finland, Germany, France, Romania and other foreign countries mistreat the Jew just like the south does the Afro-American, only worse, in the cases of several of the countries named. They are not "loved" in this country by the gentiles (white). The Irish still suffer oppression in their native land (Ireland) as the result of English rule. A "fellow feeling" ought to exist between the representatives of these three classes of people in this country, but it does not. WHY? Don't all answer at once. We now have four "national" organizations—the Council, Niagara Movement, Business League and Women's Federation. What is any one of them doing to help us retain the civil rights the race has left, to say nothing of regaining those lost? This, and our experience in years gone by in "national" organizations of the race, including Press Associations, do not cause us to enthuse any over the suggestion to organize another "National" Press Association. Cyrus Field Adams, assistant register of the United States treasury, is president of what is left of the old one, if memory serves us correctly. The "Black Bread and Butter Brigade" (federal office-holders in Washington, D. C.) and the few "fathful" of the race on the outside (of office) who, of course, wish to get in, are already "squabbling" over the "loaves and fishes." When President-elect Taft has finished his visit in the south and has taken office, after March 4 next, there will come to the "bunch" referred to above (both the "ins" and the "outs") many sad disappointments—far more of these than agreeable surprises. In his Atlanta speech, on the 15th of this month, Judge Taft said: "The south has succeeded in winning me." There is no sane member of the race in or out of office, north or south, who does not understand exactly what he meant and means, when he said that. If there was even the possibility of a doubt, Mr. Taft's Greensboro, N. C., speeches of 1906 and 1908, and his more recent addresses in New York City and the south, would dispel it instanter. TAFT'S DANGEROUS LESSON. Mr. Taft has taken pains to point out to the south an important fact which it seems to overlook. Each state can regulate its suffrage as long as the national constitution is not infringed. Any state can prescribe property or educational qualifications for voters, or pass laws that he must be of good character. The range of limitations at the option of each state is great. But all policies must be treated alike. All voters can be drawn at the ballot box. Any state may bar ignorance. Consequently, no state in any part of the country is at the mercy of an ignorant vote. As far as the national constitution touches suffrage it will stand. It is useless for the south or any section to hold out in this regard. Southern political abstention and Bourbonism are vain things. In his sympathetic speech at the lesson—Mr. Taft is expressing this lesson—Louis Mo.) Globe-Democrat (Repub.) is the merest nonsense for the Globe-Democrat, Mr. Taft or anyone else in the face of the distran- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1909. chisement laws of eight or nine southern states, all administered unfairly on the basis of the color-line, that the south has overlooked any fact in connection with them, or that it ever intended or intends to administer them fairly as far as our people are concerned. The retention, and enaction in recent years, of disfranchisement laws based on the "grandfather clause," prove this beyond any question. The color-line is drawn when an Afro-American voter attempts to qualify to vote—before he reaches the ballot-box; indeed the great mass, nearly all of them (in the states having disfranchisement laws) not get near the box. And the national constitution is infringed upon, parts of it nullified as far as these states are concerned. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT. The facts are notorious, and yet the government at Washington, president, the congress and the United States supreme court, all strongly Republican, continue to insist upon ignoring them. What will the harvest be? Some day these chickens will come to home to the people of this country, to roost, and to the harvest, though great, will not be to their liking, if the matter is not taken up in time and disposed of properly. There is only one way and that is to make the south obey the fundamental law of the land in its entirety, and cease "side-stepping" so very important a matter. Mr. Taft could better have employed his time in the south, urging the people of that section of the country to have more respect for the national constitution and for the rights of all good citizens of the country, without reference to color; rather than trying to point out better "legal" avenues for them to pursue in their un-American effort to disfranchise not ignorant voters of all classes but Afro-Americans only, whether intelligent or ignorant. Already nearly one million of these have been disfranchised in the south. We are free to confess that we do not like or approve of the "lesson Mr. Taft is impressing in his sympathetic good-humored way." This Is Encouraging Indeed!

(Rex means King.) A Tribute to Senator Foraker. Senator Foraker's battle for justice to the blameless soldiers on whom the president of the United States set the brand of infamy and thrust from the military service has been won. There would be no justice for the discharged soldiers if Mr. Foraker had not taken up their cause in the face of odds that would make him the He stood almost alone in the beginning, confronted by a hostile majority and with nothing to sustain him but the consciousness that a great wrong had been done.

Little Helen was afraid to go into a dark room, and one night coaxed her mother, who was busy in the next room, to go into the nursery with her to get some of her playthings. The mother told the little girl she need not be afraid to go in by herself, because she did not fear, as Jesus was everywhere, even in the nursery, and would allow nothing to harm her. Helen went, and her mother stepped proudly to the door to watch her. She soon heard a noise as if the child had come in contact with that or some such obstacle. She was not aware of the voice of warning—"Look out, Jesus!"—Tae February Delinator.

Benjamin of Boston, en route from Chicago to New York City and home and it was paired in the opinion with a great number of others as to the peculiar position occupied by Dr. George C. Hall of Chicago as being unquestionably one of the leading Afro-American surgeons, Mr. Benjamin took a trip from Boston to Chicago to promote a growth in the profession, promote a growth in the nature of "tumor, that had located itself over his right eye. For many years he had hesitated in having this done because of the roots having attached themselves to the membrane of the skull, and its proximity to the eye. In appreciation of the doctor's most client service, he joined a party convention held in one of the rooms of the Providence hospital, where the operation occurred, Mr. Benjamin, in a modest speech, pre- The Gazette at Bldg.

With a great knowledge, the high position held by that excellent surgeon, George Cleveland Hall, of Chicago, Mr. Benjamin was in the city three days and stopped at the Hollden hotel. TURNED DOWN FLAT. Messrs. Walter L. Brown and Geo. T. Smith Refused Admission to the Forest Street Roller Rink on Tuesday Evening—Their Stories of Their Shameful Treatment—Green and Johnstone, the Managers, Sald the White Woman at the Ticket Window. The following communications are self-explanatory: Editor Gazette, Darien Shaw, went up to the ticket window in the Forest street skating rink on East Frosty seventh street, accompanied by Geo. T. Smith at 7:45 p. m. Tuesday evening, January 26, 1969. A white woman was in charge. As soon as she saw my face she shook her head and said: "Not to night." I asked why. She said: "To night is for white people Tomorrow night, Monday and Saturday for colored people." I asked, who asked, my agers? She said, S. C. Green and a Mr. Johnstone. I asked if Mr. Green was there. She said, "No." I asked if Mr. Johnstone was there. She said, "Yes," and speaking to some one whom I did not see, she said: "Tell Mr. Johnstone that there are gentlemen here who would like to see him." I asked to minute Johnstone came into the entrance and sat him, at the same time tendering my admission fee: "The young woman refuses to admit me." He said: "No; you cannot be admitted. Tonight is for white people only. Tomorrow night is for colored people. I rent the hall and will do as I please. What do you want to start this for?" I asked him if it was true that he and Green were the managers. He said: "Green were the managers. He said as he remarked: "That is nothing doing." I said: "Thank you, and came away." WALTER L. BROWN. 2603 Central Ave. January 27, 1909. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: L. Brown and myself meet Dr. T. Smith both appeared for admission at the Forest street armory Tuesday evening and presented our admission, fee, 15 cents. The young woman issuing the tickets told both of us that no colored people could be admitted that night for it was white people' night. Colored people are only admitted tomorrow, Monday and Saturday, then called for Mr. Johnstone and responded, and we Mr. Brown and I, both tendered our admission fees to him, but he refused to accept the same and told us that he rented the hall and no colored persons were admitted other than on colored persons' nights. What do you fellows want to do now? The woman in the ticket office also statted to each of us that S. C. Green and Johnstone were the managers and that Mr. Green was not Mr. Walter Brown stated Wednesday to friends that he and Mr. George Smith intended placing the matter in the hands of an attorney at once, for the purpose of entering suit against all proper persons connected with the case, they would push the cases to a satisfactory end; that such discrimination is not only insulting in the extreme to our people of this community, but especially so when brought about through the instrumentality or with the assistance of members of the race. It does seem to The Gazette that the practice at the Forest street armory, the Victor skating rink or by whatever name it is known, ought to arouse in a far greater degree the thinking and thoughtful, as well as farseeing members of the race to much greater activity and action in an effort to put a stop, not only to the unwarranted discrimination at all, but also to all intending color lines in all public places of this community. When our people are successfully accorded such treatment in one place it only encourages others who feel to do so, to do likewise. We sincerely trust that as a matter of racial defense and progress, if not for the sake of that, all will Smith will vindicate their right as citizens and MEN to enter that roller rink upon any occasion, day or evening, that it is open to the public. Our civil rights law of the state of Ohio expressly forbids just such discrimination and it can be stopped, not only at the rink, but in all other public places in this city where such a discrimination would occur, the suit under the law and thus vindicate their rights as citizens, in said public places. --- THE GAZETTE.

That Beerbohm Tree, the player, has a caustic wit is evidenced by an incident wherein he and an unknown playwright figured. The writer had obtained permission to read his offering to Tree. The actor evinced no great degree of enthusiasm, either during or after the reading; but he did take the manuscript, upon which he scribbled hastily a few suggestions for its betterment. "See here, Mr. Tree," was the indignant ejaculation of the ambitious playwright, "it's hardly fair of you to dispose of my work in this summary and nonchalant fashion. I'd have you know that this play cost me a year's hard labor." "So?" queried Tree.

Harmsworth (Lord Northcliffe), who is quite a clever little chap, says that there are no more good writers in England or America. Perhaps he prefers the French style. Following is the way a Paris journal chronicles an accident: "On Saturday afternoon an accident which might have been attended with sad results took place in this city. A bricklayer, having lost his balance at the top of a six-story building, fell to the street. Fortunately, two women in sheath gowns and merry bonnets happened to be chatting upon the sidewalk. They received the fallen man on their heads and broke his fall. The bricklayer was taken up safe and sound. The bystanders shuddered to think that but for a lucky chance the accident would have cost him his life. The two women were instantly killed." —New York Press.

SKIN ERUPTION CURED. Was So Sore, Irritating and Painful That Little Sufferer Could Not Sleep —Scratched Constantly. Cuticura's Efficacy Clearly Proven. "When about two and a half years old my daughter broke out on her hips and the upper parts of her legs with a very irritating and painful eruption. It began in October; the first I noticed was a little red surface and a constant desire on her part to scratch her limbs. She could not sleep and the eruptions got sore, and yellow water came out of them. I had two doctors treat her, but she grew worse under their treatment. Then I bought the Cuticura Remedies and only used them two weeks when she was entirely well. This was in February. She has never had another rough place on her skin, and she is now fourteen years old. Mrs. R. R. Whitaker, Winchester, Tenn. Sept. 22, 1908." Potter Drug & Chem. Corp., Sole Props., Boston. Anger Shrinks Vitality Anger shrinks vitality. Dr. Maurice de Fleury, a distinguished Frenchman, advances the theory that every time one becomes angry his vitality shrinks. After even the most artfully suppressed signs of bad temper the vitality becomes smaller and smaller, until finally nothing is left. Anger is a certain kind of cerebral excitement, explains Dr. de Fleury. The hyperasthenic subject is always on its verge, while the neurasthenic becomes infuriated only by a sudden bound of reaction excited from without. But at that moment when they are let loose the two are alike, save that the strong man is a blinder brute, while the weak man is somewhat of an actor and seems to alm at effect. Ready Theme. "Archibald," called the wife of the special writer, in excited tones. "Don't bother me, Lucy," shouted her husband from his "den." "Archibald," she persisted. "Please keep quiet. Didn't I tell you not to bother me when I am busy?" "But I must, dear. The children have taken those six bottles of gold paint you bought for the gas fixtures and smeared it on the valls from garret to cellar." "That so, Lucy? Well, don't let that worry you. I'll just call it an inspiration and use it in an article entitled 'How Children Brighten Up the House.'" A Slight Misunderstanding. A Sight Misunderstanding. Little Helen Bentley of Los Angeles, aged five, dearly loves her grandma, who has been living with her and her parents. Recently grandma went to Seattle for a visit, and caught cold on the way. When she arrived there, she wrote back to Helen's parents that she had reached Seattle, but had had a hard fight with the grim. Helen wanted to hear what grandma had to say, and the letter was read to her. Soon afterward she saw one of her neighbors, and exclaimed: "Oh, Mrs. Smith, we've had a letter from grandma. She got to Seattle all right, but she had a terrible fight with her value." JOY WORK And the Other Kind. Did you ever stand on a prominent corner at an early morning hour and watch the throngs of people on their way to work? Noting the number who were forcing themselves along because it meant their daily bread, and the others cheerfully and eagerly pursuing their way because of love of their work. It is a fact that one's food has much to do with it. As an example: If an engine has poor oil, or a boiler is fired with poor coal, a bad result is certain, isn't it? Treating your stomach right is the keystone that sustains the arch of health's temple and you will find "Grape-Nuts" as a daily food is the most nourishing and beneficial you can use. We have thousands of testimonials, real genuine little heart throbs, from people who simply tried Grape-Nuts out of curiosity—as a last resort—with the result that prompted the testimonial. If you have never tried Grape-Nuts it's worth while to give it a fair impartial trial. Remember there are millions cating Grape-Nuts every day they know, and we know if you will use Grape-Nuts every morning your work is more likely to be joy-work, because you can keep well, and with the brain well nourished work is a joy. Read the "Road to Wellville" in every package—"There's a Reason." EVERYTHING WAS FAVORABLE SORRY HE DIDN'T MOVE TO WEST. ERN CANADA BEFORE. Mr. Austin was a man who had never had any previous experience in farming, but Western Canada had aliments, and he profited. He got a low-rate certificate from a Canadian Government agent, and then moved. What he says is interesting: "Ranfurly, Alberta, May 10'08. "J. N. Grieve, Esqr, Spokane, Washington—Dear Shr. After a dozen or more years of unsuccessful effort in the mercantile business in Western Washington, in August, 1903, decided to come to Alberta with a gentleman who was shipping two cars live stock to Edmonton. I assisted this man with the stock over one hundred miles out in the Birch Lake Country, East of Edmonton. Indeed, how surprised, how favorably everything compared with my dream of what I wanted to see in a new country. "Had never had any experience in farming, but I was immediately converted into a farmer. And from that moment I have prospered. Selecting a homestead near Birch Lake, I returned for wife and three small children and freighted out from Edmonton in March following year we shoveled a spot clear of snow and pitched our tent and commenced operations, at that time we had no neighbors. Four years have passed, the locality is well settled, two miles from railway station, with churches and schools, telephone and good road accommodations. "We are enjoying the privileges granted to any rural district in Washington. The Birch Lake Country is no exception, this great transformation is rapidly going on in every district in Western Canada. "I estimate that every quarter section in every direction is capable of producing a comfortable living for a family of ten forever. After paying for two horses and a cow, had just $10.00 to go on. Did my first ploughing in my life. I was very awkward in my work, but nature was glad and I was abundantly paid for my efforts. Our cattle has increased to about fifty head, which was very profitable on account of the abundance of forage. To farm was compelled to buy about four hundred dollars' worth of farm machinery on time, and the payments fell due last fall, and you may wonder how I expected to pay for them when we had such a bad year. "Twas a little bad for Western Canada or for a Missouri. But is not 35 or 40 bushels oats a pretty good yield per acre in many States? Then the price of grain went out of sight, when I had sold my crop I found I was able to make my payments nicely, besides we had lots of feed. No one has any business raising cattle without growing grain, or vice versa. As to the winters, did not feed my cattle, excepting the calves, a fork of hay until in March. Have found the winters much more pleasant than we did in Western Washington. This is strange and hard to explain, but 'tis true, nevertheless, at 40 degrees below zero we have more comfort than you would at 20 degrees above, so still and dry—with bright, sunny days. My wife says that the only regret she has is that we did not come here ten years ago, as we would now certainly have been in a position to retire from hard work. Most women soon become satisfied as neighbors begin to come round them. Have 98 acres in crop this year, besides two acres potatoes, which have always brought me a fair price. We find a ready market for everything we produce. To the Poor Man—Here is a chance to establish yourself. To the Rich Man—Here is a chance to buy land for $10.00 to $15.00 per acre which will produce more crops than a half dozen acres of your $50.00 to $75.00 per acre land. And if not very much mistaken, this year will prove an eye opener to those who are a little sceptical. The trouble with me is that I have so much to say so favorable to Alberta 'tis hard to be brief.
