Now that long sleeves are once more in, women must resort to outer sleeves as protection if they are working or writing. This need is often filled by sleeves of folded handkerchiefs, but the chief objection to them is that they require too frequent washing. Quickly made and convenient protectors can be made from sheets of stiff writing paper, commercial size. Use the paper crosswise, fold back the two lower corners about half the depth of the sheet and turn in the upper halves and across the top to the depth of an inch. This gives a firm surface to hold pins and the turned back corners enable the cuff to reach nearly to the elbow on the back of the arm where the sleeve rubs without interfering with the action of the arm. These paper cuffs can be used several times before they need be thrown away. Another convenient cuff is made from white oilcloth. These should be long enough to reach to the elbow at the back of the arm and should slope well below the bend of the arm in front. Sew in a seam and punch two small holes on each side of the seam at the top of the cuff, through which to pin a small safety pin. That the safety pin may not ever be missing, attach one to each cuff with a short tape. These oilcloth cuffs can be washed off and have the advantage of lasting longer than paper, without needing the washing of muslin or handkerchief protectors. Anthrists for Day Wear Amethysts For day wear amethysts are undoubtedly the woman. The really well dressed woman has sets of these, hat pins, long long chain and brooch to match. I most of the hat pins the stones are elongated or spherical. There are some of the prettiest long chains in which the amethysts are cut square and quite flat, and the links of the chain are of gold and about a half inch in length. This is a smart design and looks equally well when worn with either a tailored or lingerie waist. Lapis lazur is also popular and becoming for brooches. Large square or diamond-shaped ones, set in silver, are very stylish, worn at the throat to hold one's jabot in place. Return of Huge Plumes. We have had choppy little feathers and queer wings and birds on our hats for some time, and the huge, graceful plume has been in the background. It now returns to its own. It is being used on the first spring hats and on the attractive midseason hats, which are sometimes prettier than all the others put together. The plume is the only trimming. It is wide and thick, extra long and has all the natural curl which makes its beauty. For Clammy Hands. A good cure for that trying aliment, hands that are clammy or perspire, is to keep on your dressing table a small cheesecloth bag filled with one part borax and three parts starch. This is dusted over the palms of the hands when they feel sticky will quickly check the moisture. Another help is to keep a bottle of alcohol in a convenient place and wipe off the hands with it several times a day. The Tulle Scarf. Fashionable women are seen at the theaters and restaurants wearing a scarf of black tulle wound around the throat and left to float about the shoulders. It may be quite unornamented or embroidered with gold thread or precious stones. THE GAZETTE SHAWLS NOW THE FASHION. Made of Crepe and Silk, They Are Seen Everywhere. One who is in Paris writes that the fashion of the day is for shawls made of crepe and silk. They are worn in Highland fashion, with the right end thrown over the left shoulder. All edges are heavily fringed and there is a lovely border in rich colors. These are worn by women who are driving, by those sitting in boxes at the theater and by those wearing smart one-piece costumes at afternoon affairs. The French woman is quite keen about the idea, and she is buying wonderful old shawls to go with her different costumes. The best ones are in cream, in white and in black, but all have the colored border. The most desired shawl is one of real Chinese crepe. These come in many colors, with heavy embroidery and a deep, thick silk fringe. This has succeeded the Spanish shawl, which began the popularity. Just why this fashion came about no one knows. If it had begun in London the reason would be simple, because Edward VII. revived his mother's custom this Christmas of sending out half a hundred Indian shawls as gifts to his friends. DRESS FOR YOUNG GIRL A woman in a long dress with a high collar and a necklace. Here is a useful but smart dress, which is made up in cedar-green Amazon cloth. The plain skirt is plaited, a box-plait is formed down center of front, with other plaits turning from it. The bodice has a yoke and cuffs of piece lace, with straps of material laid on as trimming. A slight fullness is gathered in the center front of bodice, and set to the yoke under a strap. A waistbelt of silk is worn. Materials required: Seven yards 18 inches wide, one yard lace, one-half yard silk. New Idea for Book Markers. One of the latest crazes in fancy needlework is embroidering Biblical emblems upon ribbons for book markers. This work is done with tinsel thread and many are venturing a pace ahead in making belts in the same manner and also embroidering the ends of satin ties in the odd though graceful patterns.

Cincinnati, O. — Senator Foraker more than appreciates the efforts of our people to show materially their loyalty and gratitude for his services in behalf of our soldiers. In an interview recently he stated that from all over the Union from Afro-Americans came offers of testimonials, presents, etc., etc., but as he had already received from our city, he gave them a cup, and one from those at Washington, with representatives from all over the District of Columbia, he felt that enough had been done, and he did not feel free to accept anything more because he needed no reward for doing his duty. He feels very much in many acts of loyalty from our people. Oberlin's Catholic Mission. At the conclusion of a mission for the little Catholic parish at Oberlin the Apostolate was invited to devote a second week to the conversion of the Negroes of the famous college town. Oberlin counts about 700 colored people and they are a body of good citizens, thanks to the Congregation since they may back in ante-bellum days like them to college and village and treated them like brothers. In anticipation of the mission Father Dletz, the learned young pastor of Oberlin, made a house to house canvass of the colored people in order to become personally acquainted with them and in order to make them feel that the priest was as welcome as in an Irish home—which is saying a good deal for the hospitality of the Afro-Americans. The Catholics—all but the choir—were asked to remain away during the second week, in order to make goo for the colored brethren. Their room was in de-afro-America. After the choir were needed, and at the concluding service the late comers crowded the vestibule. The best of order was observed: it was necessary only once to take two grown persons to task for talking and laughing, and these two were whites from Oberlin the bishop's parish in Slava and Italians are educated gratis. I never spoke to more attentive or more friendly audiences.—Catholic Universe. Won a Civil Rights Suit.

Munch examines the Foundation of Good Gardening." We are told how to make window and porch boxes for plants. A milk expert tells how to make sure that milk is clean. Cyrus Townsend Brady's new novel "Hearts and the Highway" is begun in this issue of the Companion, and there are stories by Nellie L. McClung, Laura Spencer Portor, Izola Porester and Florence Mouse King-Holmes. The Womans' Home Companion, are by well-known artists, and are of the very best. What We Want. the problem of the Negro race is economic, to master the condition of living, not to acquire a large number of political positions that make it neither stronger nor weaker. All the Negro wants in politics is a non-discriminatory attitude. He wants American citizenship; he wants taxation with representation. Let the black belt of Georgia and Alabama send black congressmen to Washington and let the citizens of that black belt vote for them. America ceases to be America when she becomes the nation of citizenship representation. She becomes the England of 1776. It would pay Mr. Taft and the American government better to create a board of commissioners from both races to examine the political and economic conditions of the south and to prevent the evils occurring therein. In the past, the board would set at naught the half-hearted, educational qualifications of the "grandfather" class. It would place the races, stirred by the rabid, demagogue utterances of Tillman and Negro mugwumps, on a better relationship, and do much to usher in the minimum of good feeling due both Ethiopians and Caucasians in America. ica.—J.

IN UNION THE LEGACY STRONGER What President Lincoln Said in His Inaugural Address Anent Slavery—A Socialist's View. Kenton, O., March 29, 1969. Editor Gazette. Dear Sear.—After reading the article in The Gazette recently, referring to Dr. E. E. Underwood's recent address on "Lincoln as the Emancipator" etc., I think it well that Afro-Americans should get the facts on this "gush" that has been forced down their necks for years, about "Abe." Lincoln. Let us read from Lincoln's inaugural address: "Apprehension seems to exist among the southern states that, by the accession of a republican administration, their property, and their peace and personal security are to be endangered. "There has never been any reasonable cause for such apprehension. Indeed the most ample evidence to the contrary has all the while existed and been open to their inspection, found and published the names of those who now addresses you. I do but quote from one of these speeches, when I declare that I have Mr. C. E. Wharton. no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so. Those who nominate and elect me, did so with the full knowledge that I had made this, and many similar declarations, and have never recanted them." Now here is a clear and definite statement that "Abe." Lincoln said he had no inclination to free the slaves. But as the student of history may learn, if he desires, "Abe." liberated him. Let the Afro-American give praise to Wendell Phillips, Lovejoy, John Brown, the old abolitionists and people who really did work for you and yours, and don't let a lot of politicians fill you on nonsense forever. Yours for a higher education for the Afro-American (even if President Clinton commonwealth in which the Afro-American will be offered an equal opportunity. C. E. WHARTON. Col. Hollowell's Strong Censure. Editor Herald:—One would think that appointments to public office would be based upon character and capacity. It remains for the president of the United States however, such an appointment and prejudice. He proclaims that no grimoff officeholders shall not be forced upon unwilling white communities. It never occurs to him to proclaim that white postmasters and other officials shall not be forced upon unwilling new immigrants. It never occurs that in the matter of appointments he has no business to know officially the color of a citizen of the United States. His new underlying method is vicious and subversive to the last degree, and is in striking contrast with the enlightened Theodore Roosevelt. However, let us not be too much disgusted and discouraged by William H. Taft, a type of the reactionist, and Booker T. Washington, a type of the submissionist. Let us rather remember that the dark days of slavery were succeeded by the bright days of freedom. N. P. HALLOWELL National Bank of Commerce. —Boston Herald. Johnson Made a "Monkey" of Burns.

Good! ‘The assembly of the new state, Ari- zona, has started in by disgracing it self as the result of the passage, over the governor's veto, of a separate school law for our people.

How this does remind us of President Taft and his new “southern policy.” __ An investigation by the state au- thorities of Virginia, discloses the fact that our people of that state own real and personal property assessed ‘St $25,000,000, and are in possession ‘of one-sixth of all the land in the ‘state; also that they own property not listed for taxation valued at $10, 000,000. ‘This is indeed a grand show- ing.

All these years the poor fel- tow has been featured in an animal show as the “missing: link in captiv- gy, caught in the jungles of Africa.” Strange, we did not hear so much of ‘the pain and sorrow and worry of the poor mother in this case as we did in that of Billy Whitla (white). A battalion of white soldiers raided a section of Washington, D. C., dur- ing the inauguration of President Taft, ‘They demolished restaurants, ‘Smashed windows in houses, com- mittell other depredations, and threat- ened the persecuted owners of prop- erty with bodily harm if they re- sisted. No action has been taken by President Taft or the war department as yet. Of course, the soldiers were allowed to “depart in peace.” This yery.same thing has happened no Jess than a half dozen times in this country and at least once in the Phil- Sppines, since the alleged Brownsville riot, which resulted in the “discharge without honor” of the 167 innocent members of “The Black Battalion,” In the fall of 1906, and we have yet to learn of any kind of punishment whatever being visited upon the of- fending white soldiers. President Taft did not receive more than one-third of the Afro-American vote of Ohio, his native state. The ‘great majority of them did NOT re- fuse to read and to understand his Greensboro, exam ‘Tuskegee, Grand Rapids and otter speeches anent ‘the “Negro.” They are self ame racerespecting mejabers of the ase who are MEN. /fhorefore the reat mass of Ohio Atro-Americans ‘are. not looking for nor expecting ap- pointments to office, and of course like the great mass af members of the face, north and south, judging from the ‘presidont’s new and shameless “southern policy,” are not at all like- dy to be disappointed or agreeably purprised. This, too, in spite of the “whistling” to keep: up dying hopes, ‘indulged in by the Afro-American con- ‘tingent of political sycophants, slaves ‘and the few federal officeholders.

In this case, of the soldiers at Madison Bar- racks, N.Y, the thing that prompted the scoundrels, was the fact that many of the white girls at Sacketts Harbor were too well pleased with some of the fine looking members of the regiment. So says Major Durham in his report to the war department. "Twas ever thus. In concluding his Teport the major says: "A majority ‘of the people of Sacketts Harbor ad- mit that the Twenty-fourth United States infantry (colored) is the best behaved regiment, as a whole, ever quartered in Madison Barracks.” Good! “THE MAN OF THE HOUR!” There seems td be at least one Afro-American federal _office-holder with a little aggressiveness, man- hood, race-pride and self-respect, and his name is Joshua H. Wilson. He is postmaster at Florence, S. C., and was appointed by President Roose- velt four years ago. Rey. Wilson has landed at the national capital and Proposes to make a fight for his job. At the same time he will be giving President Taft's shameless, new “southern policy” a few well-deserved Holts” that may result in much good to the race, More power to you, Brother Wilson, if you only keep up the fight to the bitter or sweet end— whichever the case may prove to be. ‘The question of non-recognition of Afro-Americans at southern points “where there is objection to them’ (and there always will be. NOW, since that statement of the president, en- couraging it) ought) to be put up to the Taft administration at once and thoroughly threshed out—“threshed to a frazzle.” Postmaster Wilson is “the man of the hour"—the man to do it, since ex-Collector Crum who resigned after President Roosevelt had appointed him, and who was doubtless quietly notified to do so by President Taft, would not make the fight for the race. Postmaster Wil- son {s backed by our clergy and peo- ple of this state and the country, and many leading men of other classes or Taces, and declares that he was ap- pointed against the protests of the prejudiced people of his city and state; that he has served to the sat- Iefaction of the postoffice department and without serious complaint from the patrons of the office; thay the only ground upon which he will fail of reappointment is his color; that he thinks character and attainments should count and nothing else.

Because 2 Greek Killed an officer after he had been shot by him! What if an Amer ican had killed the policeman?

In’ the name of the fathers of 1776, in the name of the American constitution race rioting must stop! It places the United States on the same level with Russia, Turkey and other semibar barious nations.” ‘And Javaras is right! The best step in this direction that can be taken in the north, however, is for the press, pulpit and citizens gener ally, to urge the passage of mob vio lence and gntilynching laws like our Ohio law. ‘The-next thing to do, and that, too, at once, is to stop the dirty, low, southern scoundrels who in re cent years have secured positions on, {if not control of, northern daily news: papers, from doing so much to en- courage prejudice and strife among the two classes (white and colored) particularly, in this section, and en- couraging mob violence in every con- ceivable, crafty way, even to magni- fying a very little disturbance in the north into a “race riot” or “‘race war” or some sort of mob violence attempt, in a vain attempt to excuse the bar ee 8 ee ant Davee et ioe stake, ete., of entirely too frequent occurrence in the south.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0., SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 1909. the court of inquiry is an ex-rebel and & Tennessee Democrat who boasts of his support of William Jennings Bryan last fall, and of his loyalty to all Democratic candidates ever since he became a ‘voter. Then, too, Taft ‘was With Roosevelt and against Sen- ator Foraker and “The Black Bat tallon” in the Brownsville matter. He made this clear repeatedly in public interviews, letters, statements and speeches. To date, the white soldiers of the army (outside of those in the war de- partment, Major Bloksom and possibly ‘one or two others) have stood by our “discharged - without - honor” soldiers like true comrades, and we have noth- ing but praise for them. But it re mains to be seen how much (if any) the great and baneful influence of an inimical president and secretary of ‘war will effect the work of a court of inquiry, they have selected and ap- pointed. All the members of it are on the retired list and are now resi dents of Washington, D. C. Gen. Young is from Pennsylvania, and rose from the ranks. Gen. Sanger is from Michigan, and was appointed to the army from civil life. Gen. Schwan was born in Germany and rose from the ranks. Gen. Price is from Pennsylvania, and was ap pointed to the army from civil life Gen. Wilson was born in the District of Columbia, and was formerly chief of engineers. He is the only gradu: ate of the United States Military academy on the court. All the mem: bers have excellent records, begin ning with services in the civil war, ning with service in the civil war. Capt. Howland, the recorder, is one of the assistants: of Judge Advocate General Davis at the war department. He is irom Ohio, and was graduated icom the Military academy in. June, 1895. The court was expected to as semble at the nation’s capital and or- ganize this week. The fact that all the members except one, are or rather were “northern” men Is a little encouraging. However, wait until their work is done ‘(a year) before “Jumping to conclusions.” It will be better from every viewpoint. Hope for the best. That is all we can do, saccia Doings of the Race Hon. H.

Edwin Cowles, Western Reserve and Climax lodges, headed by Philligans band, made a splendid showing Sunday afternoon when on the march to St. John's church to hear their sermon preached by Rev. Ira Polling, the pastor and also at the church during their annual services. There was a large attendance. The attention of the author, who need a good, reliable Hair Dressing is called to the advertisement of the Nelson Mfg. Co., in this paper. This preparation has been on the market for a long time, and its continued success speaks well for its merit. Nelson Hair Dressing he had at Darns Drug Store, No. 2742 Central Store. Sunday's Plain Dealer contained another miserable anti-Negro letter from Athens, Ga., because a dissolute woman (white) was working in shackles in the county chain gang with Afro-American prisoners. The Cleveland Daily News also continues its contemptible mistreatment of our people. Stop taking these papers until they treat us decently. A. M. E. church ladies will give a reception Friday night, after conference, in honor of Rev. Styles, P. E., and the pastor, Rev. O. Vick.

Mrs. Barnes was not in Washington, D. C.-Mr. Archie Clemons of Wellesville is visiting his family—Mr. and Mrs. Charles Moore's little son, Grace Palmer and Mrs. Martha Clemons of Wellesville, James Williams and family have returned back to Olean, Mrs. Clara Armstrong is at Friendship visiting her mother—Mr. Frank Robinson has purchased a barber-shop at York, Pa., and will move his family later. It seems to The Gazette that there has been entirely too much unnaughty behavior. of St. John's church because of its refusal to permit a local association of Afro-Americans to give a concert in the new auditorium. This, especially in view of the fact that the S. S. was invited any time, was especially designed with a view to such use. While the lyeum entertainments are good things and we are pleased to note the success of the one given in Plymouth church (white) on a recent Sunday, yet we know of no rule or law which makes it possible to grant the use of their auditoriums for entertainments, of any kind, controlled by persons outside of their churches, if they do not wish to do so. Therefore the silliness of a continuance of the invidious comment by overzealous members of the church by overzealous members of the affreshed association of Afro-Americans. Sunday Antioch Baptist church and its pastor, Rev. H. C. Bailley, celebrated the sixth anniversary of his pastorate in this city. Large congregations attended both the morning and evening services and the floral decorations, furnished by the ladies of the church, and the elaborate beautiful. The sermons were appropriate and greatly appreciated. Dr. Bailley is a splendid speaker, a deep thinker, and a thorough race man. When he came to Cleveland six years ago he found Antioch struggling with a membership of but 75 or 80, in an improvised house of worship, and he was unable to afford a splendid new (brick) house of worship, a membership of 400, in spite of the fact that a large number have been dropped from the roll during that period of years. The total money raised during his pastorate for all purposes amounts to $28,300. Of this, $0,000 has been used in the church which has been returned to the church in the shape of volunteer offerings. Today Antioch, in points of respectability Rev. H. C. Bailey. and standing as a church, is the peer of any among our people in this community. This is the result of the splendid leadership of a man who has been so bitterly fought and opposed by ruyan persons, some of whom are memorialized in his condemnation in the President Roosevelt's outrageous mistreatment of "The Black Battalion" and the race, and his loyal support of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker. In this, he was but in line with the advanced thinkers and loyal members of the court, who is made clear and plain in the action of the last congress when it passed the Foraker-Aldrich bill providing for the reinstatement and rehabilitation of our discharged-with-out-honor soldiers. What he and others fought for and predicted has come to pass even to the "turn-down" of the Negro. To the Negro, but for our leaders, like Dr. Bailey, and other loyal members of the race, who so aggressively stood by and with Senator Foraker while he fought for justice for our outraged soldiers, there is no doubt now but that his fight would not only have been weakened but lost. Our people of this community must continue to be in the intensely loyal, fearless and outspoken pastor of Antoch church. We congratulate the pastor and its congregation upon the pastor's splendid progress during the past six years, and sincerely wish both of them a continuance of their gratifying success. Upon severing his connection with Beth Israel Baptist Church, the congregation unanimously adopted a set of resolutions, the tenor of which is best indicated by the following: "We feel that the community at large will have much to regret in the loss of one whose every aim, and ambition, has been to further the interests of his people, irrigate a denomination, and enrich it or enriche it, would be impossible for us at this time, to fully cover the vast field of our pastor's 14 years' service; and we will not attempt it. But it is our urgent and affectionate desire that shall know that we are aware of the magnitude of his great and untiring efforts in the service of Christ in our midst. We affectionately desire that our pastor be in the highest possible esteem, both personally and for the great work and sacrifices he has made for Christ, and through Christ for us."

DOCKS FREE, High- NARAH'S MAN By EDGAR WHITE (Copyright, by Daily Story Pub, Co.) In the buoyant days when the territorial land boomers were hypnotizing the people of the eastern and middle states by the trainload with brass bands and free lager beer, Cornelius Cadogan, "monicipal contractor," went out with a crowd of "th' bys" to view the birth of "Royal Capital," and take part in the event. There was a flag-pote and a native in his shirt sleeves, seated on a log. By these heralds of commercial enterprise the engineer was enabled to know where to stop his train. Zandt come around with a five-dollar an-acre proposition "fer them superbs ter tell 'im plain wat I tink av 'im." But one bright morning Corney saw the slate penell man making for him, "Good morning Mr.—aw—" "Try Cadogan, aw," said Corney, surilly. "Yes, Cadogan—certainly. Denced funny how I should—aw—forget such an easy name." "Not so viry funny; there be, min wot says 'aw,' win there's nothin' ter 'aw' about. Thot's funnier." The commissary was unloaded, and the boomers began distributing maps of Royal Capital, so the citizens might not lose their way. These exhibits indicated with honest distinctiveness where the division shops, round houses, union depot, federal building, hotels, cotton gins, mills, saloons and other auxiliaries to metropolitan development were to be located, and all that was necessary for the straw-hatted subjects to do was to buy the lots and fill in the vacant places with stores and dwellings. The sale went briskly on, accompanied by inspiring music by the band, and kegged enthusiasm over in a tent, which flowed like water from the spring. Everybody felt happy, social and generous. Lots were purchased all around the "federal building," the "Merchant's exchange" and clear down "Arlington avenue" to the "union depot." When Corney woke up in his tent next morning he found himself weighted with the cares of a property owner, but relieved of the necessity of keeping his hand on his pocketbook. Under the combined encouragement of the commissary tent and "A Hot Time in the Old Town," by the Dutch band, he had swapped twelve hundred good American dollars for a 27-acre tract of soft-stone, which the auctioneer had told him could be terraced and turned into de-lightful, homelike lots. "Twelve hundred dollars with aw A "Try Cadogan, Aw," Said Corney, Surilly. "Try Cadogan, Aw," Said Corney, Surilly. rocks," he murmured; "wat will Narah say to that?" He had a few dollars left, and decided to wait and see what would be the end of the circus. Frame buildings were erected with feverish haste along the boulevards, and flaring canvas signs stretched across the streets. Casual visitors lit and flew away after a brief sojourn. The brass band and free commissary had departed along with the boomers, and the real situation was mournfully apparent. There didn't seem to be the ghost of a reason for a town where "Royal Capital" was trying to stand. The lot owners, however, were game. They organized a commercial club, issued air castle literature and invited capital to come and get richer on the "magnificent resources." The fact that the commercial club was expressing its hope rather than its knowledge was clear as moonshine to the sage gentlemen of means who received the invitations. One day a unique traveler alighted on the small platform and handed his grips to the lord of the "Continental hotel." He looked like he might be a walking proclamation for some haberdasher, and didn't seem to be a hopeful prospect. Within half an hour the news went around town that "Arthur Van Zandt of West Virginia" was registered at the Continental, and he lisped in his talk. In the morning the tenderfoot put on some heavy boots and walked out to the "suburban residence district." When he returned to town he hunted up some of the owners and in a fluid sort of surrender he took care to secure a few acres of their rocky bluffs at, explaining that he was a slate pencil manufacturer in a small way, and that he fancied the stone would make fair pencils. He wanted the privilege to prospect a little first and determine whether the rock was really soostone. There didn't seem to be much in it, and nobody shot off any fireworks over the dude's proposition. They let him dig his holes, and several parties let their holdings of "eligible residence lots," the circulars said—rock hills, in fact, pass over to the slate pencil man at $5 an acre. Some sold to him for less. Inside of a week he had acquired enough "soapstone" to make slate pencils for all the children in the world the next hundred years. When Corney learned the high-collared haberdasher's sign had been boring holes on Killkenny Heights his blue eyes blazed wrathfully. "If that paddin' headed jude thinks he's goin' ter git them lots fer his shiate pencil factory he's a bigger fool thin he looks, which be puttin' it strong as I know how." said Corney. He studiously avoided the mild-looking stranger, as being a man beyond his contempt. He resolved if Van THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 1909. Dandt come around with a five-dollar-ance proposition "for them superbs ter tell 'im plain walt I tink av im." But one bright morning Corney saw the slate pencil man making for him, "Good morning Mr-aw—" "Try Cadogan, aw," said Corney, surilly. "Yes, Cadogan—certainly. Denced funny how I should-aw—forget such an easy name." "Not so viry funny; there be .min not says 'aw, win there's nothin' ter 'aw about. Thot's funnier." The natty tenderfoot smiled sweetly. He was evidently not overly sensitive. "Unfortunate habit of mine," he said, good-humoredly. "You will—aw excuse me—please pahdon me." "Wot's yer game?" remarked Corney, abruptly. "I wanted to speak to you about Killkenny—aw—Highlands." "Thim's Killkenny Heights—risdence lots." "Yes, a beautiful name. I've been out there. The view is—aw—chawming. Such a vast reach of country—so gently rolling like the sea! And such superb air and sky, and the sunsets on my life I never witnessed such beauty!" Corney looked at him in amazement and gravely shook his head. "Do you wish to part with your residence property out there, Mr. Cadogan" "Yis—but you don't git it at no five per. It cost me a cool twelve hundred." "Indeed. I'm afraid you were—aw—" "Schwindled? I wos thot, but I can't go home till I make good wld Narah." "I understand then," said the slate pencil maker, dropping his lisp and talking like a man of business, "that you want to get back what you paid?" "Yis, an' thin some. Narah's bin writin' me that I needn't coom back shy of six thousand. She won't miss me, she says. There's a foine lot of saymin ter pick out out there." Van Zandt started and looked keenly at the Irishman. "What do you want for your 27 acres?" he asked, slowly. "Th' only thing that'll save me fr'm bein' a grass widerer," said Corney, "is $8,000." "I take it." Corney's blue eyes popped open wide. The slate pencil man suddenly became an object of real interest. Does yze name man? "I need I do and I will write you a check soon as you sign the deed." "Ithn I want ter say ter yez that I'm downright sorry I called yez a jude. Yez be th' mistlemon my sth'ruck in this miserable coyote cunthry." With the acquirement of Killkenny Heights, Van Zandt concluded his dealings at Royal Capital, and the cat jumped out of the bag. He was the representative of a large concern, and had been sent west to secure new fields. The rock around Royal Capital was specially adapted for the purpose, and its purchase for an almost nominal consideration meant a fortune to the big company, which soon established works out there, and gave employment to so many men that Royal Capital forgave the job put up on it by the smooth visitor from West Virginia. Corney and Van Zandt returned east on the same train, and while enjoying their pipe and cigarette, respectively, one afternoon, Van Zandt asked a question which had long been puzzled him. "Corney, how was it that you were the only man out there who knew it was cement rock?" "Bliss yer soul," said Narah's man: "I never dreamed it till yer told me." "But you said 'there's a fine lot of cement to pick over out there.'" Corney smoked reflectively for a few moments, then his moonface broke into a broad grin. "Yez didn't quite cutch me maning," he said. "Narah, my wife that is, lives on't coast of jersey. I knowed if I didn't git back it wouldn't quite break her heart, because there's a foine lot o' saymin ter pick from out there." "Seamen?" "Yis, saymin, I says." "Corney," said Van Zandt, after some silent meditation, "if any professor of language ever offers to smooth out that brougue of yours, you brain him on the spot. You need it to do business with." King Edward as Music Detective. King Edward is a great lover of music and has more than an ordinary knowledge of the subject. He demonstrated this recently to the confusion of his private band, who had not calculated on their royal master's knowledge. On one occasion the band was ordered to play certain selections from "Die Meistersinger," the king's favorite opera. It was at the conclusion of an entertainment at Sandringham and as the hour was late and the bandsmen were tired they agreed among themselves to make a couple of cuts in the music. When they had finished the king approached the bandmaster and said smilingly: "That was good indeed, but why did you leave out those parts? I am afraid you are a lot of lazy fellows. Let us have it over again without any cuts, if you please." It is not recorded whether the bandsmen experienced admiration at the king's musical expertness or some other emotion. "Well, what on earth is it now?" "When a fish jumps out of the water, what does he jump off of?"—Cleveland Leader. A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE Of Painting Requirements Will Save Much Expense. When one sees the surface of a house or other building scaling, or peeling, or spotted or blistered, or showing other symptoms of paint "disease," it is evident that a poor painter has been on the job, and that poor paint was used—or possibly that a good painter had been dominated by a property-owner who knew nothing about paint. It is an easy matter to be informed on paint and painting. A complete painting guide, including a book of color schemes, either for exterior or interior—specifications for all kinds of painting, and an instrument for detecting adulteration in paint material, with directions for using it, may be had free by writing National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg., New York City, and asking for Houseowner's Painting Outfit No. 49. Then, every houseowner should make it a point to get only well-known reliable brands in buying his materials. Pure white lead is especially important, or the paint will not prove satisfactory. The famous "Dutch Boy Painter" trademark of National Lead Company, the largest makers of pure white lead, is an abbreviation for lead. The quality of the white lead sold under it. That trademark is a safeguard against paint trouble. TIRED OF THE REPETITION. Plausible Argument Advanced by Youthful Tactician. Dorothy, aged eight years, was very fond of going to church, and when a severe cold made it unwise for her to be allowed to attend services one Sunday morning she was disconsolate. "Frauline will read the Bible to you," her father assured her. "I don't want to hear the Bible read. I want to say my prayers," objected the child. "God will hear your prayers just the same if you say them at home as if you were in church," she was told. "But I don't know any without the prayer-book," argued Dorothy. "Why, you know 'Now I lay me down to sleep'," papa said. "But God has heard that so often," she remonstrated-Harper's Weekly. TWO YEARS OF FREEDOM. No Kidney Trouble at All Since Using Doan's Kidsn Pills. Mrs. J. B. Johnson, 710 Wee St. Columbia, Mo., said: "I was in misery with kidney trouble, and finally had to undergo an operation. I did not rally well, and began to suffer smothering spells and drops. My left side was badly swollen and the action of the kidneys much disor- with kidney trouble and finally had to undergo an operation. I did not rally well, and began to suffer smothering spells and dropsy. My left side was badly swollen and the action of the kidneys much disordered. My doctors said I would have to be tapped, but I began using Doan's Kidney Pills instead, and the swelling subsided and the kidneys began to act properly. Now my health is fine."

"About fifteen or eighteen years ago eczema developed on top of my hand. It burned and itched so much that I was compelled to show it to a doctor. He pronounced it ringworm. After trying his different remedies the disease increased and went up my arms and to my legs and finally on my face. The burning was something terrible. I went to another doctor who had the reputation of being the best in town. He told me it was eczema. His medicine checked the advance of the disease, but no further. I finally concluded to try the Cuticura Remedies and found relief in the first trial. I continued until I was completely cured from the disease, and I have not been troubled since. C.

Dr. Blank, says Lippincott's, about twenty years a professor in the University of Virginia, was on the eve of a trip to Europe, to be absent two years. In pathetic and rather harrowing tones he made his farewell address to his class: "Yes, I am about to part with you. This is more than distressing to me. Would that there was a window in my breast, my dear boys, that you might see the innermost recesses of my heart." A stripling in the rear, setized with a happy thought, shouted: "Professor, would a pane in the stomach do?" Safe and Sure.
