Paris Adonta Tailored Hats The chapeau tailleur is having an astonishing vogue in Paris. So great is the demand for this particular kind of headgear that the leading Paris designers and even those whose specialty at now has been the elaborate hat exclusively do not disdain to devote some of their attention to it. Vogue. The New Sailor The new sailor has a low, broad crown, with a wide brim a little wider at one side than the other, the sides curling up very slightly. THE GAZETTE Of Wicker, Lined with Mercerized Satine and Covered with Paris Muslin. A fascinating baby basket just made for a young mother was of wicker, shawl and oblong. It was lined with mercerized satine, pink, of high luster, and covered with Paris muslin, which is as dainty looking as organdle and much more durable. The pink lining was put in plain, but the muslin was gathered slightly at top and bottom of the sides, the bottom being plain. Double strips of inch-wide valenciennes insertion were arranged across the bottom to form a diamond. Along each side were pockets of the muslin gathered at the top on an elastic and edged with narrow lace. The fronts of the pockets as well as of the long pin cushion across one end and the equally long, stiffened cover with leaves of flannel underneath to hold safety pins at the end end were also stripped with insertion in diamond effect. Where each pocket and cushion joined the basket the sewing was concealed under fuffy rosettes of pink baby ribbon. The ruffle that fell over the sides was made of straight strips of the Paris muslin, with an inch-wide hem at the bottom, and above it eighth of an inch tucks a half inch apart, with baby ribbon sewed between each tuck. The ribbon was put on plain, though it would have been equally pretty if a width wider ribbon was used and gathered at the upper edge. Oriental Silks. Oriental silks have a way of coming in on the market and meeting with popular favor because of their genuine oddity among fabrics. They are always sought by persons who look for the exclusive patterns and this is possible among oriental silks where two patterns may be alike, but of different colors. The trimmings for such are plain silks, soutache and crochet buttons. One of the dashing dresses constructed of this material was a brick red, with clouded effect. It was trimmed with black-red grosgrain silk and an edging of black soutache in sawtooth fashion for bands. The dress was a very good example of what can be produced with a foreign silk. Lingerie Bag. A pretty summer fashion is the lingerie Dorothy bag. Dainty little bags of open-work embroidery of the broderie Anglaise order, with linings in delicate shades of pink, primrose, blue, green or mauve and ribbon handles to match, will be carried. The color chosen for the lining will be repeated in the draped centeure round the waist, the ribbon on the lingerie hat and the bows of the sunshade. It is a qualit and pretty fashion, the lingerie bag, and during the hot part of the year the familiar leather handbag will take a back place.

Can the American people, as believers in applied Christianity and the universal brotherhood of man, allow the damnable outrages and disfranchisement of the Negro by a lot of cut-throat politicians, as in Oklahoma, where the laws of state put a premium on vice and prostitution of the Negro race by taking away even the equal rights of all African American people forget that in every critical conflict of this country Negro blood has flown in the same streams as those of the white? Do they know that there is enough wealth among the Hybrids of America to found the richest empire in the world? Will these people whose grandmothers were Negroes be too willing to join the Hybrids between perspective for mutual protection of life and a suppression of crime as is now increasing? Are they willing to help their black brothers by giving work when possible? Was it the Negroes' immorality that produced millions of these white "Negroes" who are living in daily fear that some black relation will give up the dreaded secret? Will the American people force an alliance between the Negro and the Japanese to protect those whose object is to prevent these two races from having work necessarily to sustain their families and maintain life? Will the people of America, who have listened to self-confessed murders of a United States senator like Tillman, or a publicly accused Hybrid like Vardaman, be satisfied with the harvest as it shall be reaped? Should not all men have an equal right to labor that life might be sustained? Neither the Japanese nor the Negro have sought social equality. But both have a right to demand equal rights.—Ex.

Nobla calls the south with a ground.宝 cares. Yet fully defined one, one that is apparent to any intelligent mind, and I reiterate the cause therefor is the loss of empire * * * more clearly speaking, political dominance, and its ante-belium cause—more explicitly human battle—mopery slavery.

JACK JOHNSON LECTURES In a Church and Explains Why Jim Jeffries Writes the Able to Flight Him. Boston, Mass.—After paying a fine of $5 in the police court here last week Friday for a violation of the street traffic regulation that an automobile must not be left unattended on a down street, Jack Johnson, the world's heavyweight, was applauded as a lecturer in the Rush A.

Johnson, in a Tuxedo suit, drab vest and many diamonds, was introduced to a large audience by the pastor, who said that Johnson volunteered to aid church by giving a lecture. Johnson was given an enthusiastic greeting. "I am satisfied now that Jeffries and I will never fight," he said. "The reason for this is that he is growing fat, and I don't care to meet a man business out of retirement; I want a real life one. Then let the better man win."

A German-American Friend of the Race Comments Upon It—A Southern “Rebel-Yell”—The ‘Atlanta “Bath of Blood”— Labor Union “Ariato- Booker T. Washington, in complain ing of the “too great ‘frequency of crime among Northern Negroes,” more particularly in and around Phila- delphia, advises them to go South, where the great Lincoln emancipated them, and where, in Mr. Washington's ‘opinion, they belong and will be better Off, The Negroes will do well to make ‘the best of Mr. Washington's advice and abstain to the utmost from crimes —to thelr own benefit and that of the community. 80, by the way, will the White people, ‘though neither Mr. Washington nor any of my race's great political leaders deem it neces: sary to address to them this plati- tude! At the time Mr. Washington was uttering these “patriotic,” “wise” and “benevolent” words, “the dear Jan Hagel,” as the Danes say, the “aweet plebs,” as we Germans put it, the “honorable mob” as the American demagogues ought to say, was at work, showing that “obedience to law ‘and order,” that “capability for self. government,” which, If we are to take their word for it, our historians, statesmen and divines, claim the Anglo-Saxons possess in such a degree as to excite the admiration of all other peoples, the “inferior” col- Ored races more particularly! And in the South, in Florida, the “Riv era” of the United States, the legis lature had curtailed the appropriation for an Agricultural and Mechanical school for Negroes, and a prominent Senator had advised the white sove- Teignity “to take those emblems, uni- forms and brass buttons off those Negroes,” as it made thom arrogant and proud!” “They even wear tan ghoes, and play tennis out there,” he “yelled” in the good old fashion “rebel” yell tones, “Put them to they plow" and s0 on, ad nauseam!” And the Associated Press (Clark How. ells in command) thundered it forth in loud tones and the “loyal” northern Press, the Republican and administra tion organs, even such as the Chicago News, pat it on their first pages and called attention to it by their largest and Dlackest type! _ If that don't open Washington & Co.'s eyes, they don't want them opened, that is all! Right Below, the “News” prints a little item a8 a morsel of consolation, “that the city of Norfolk has invited Mr. Wash- ington to lecture” there: that “a Negro” is whooping up enthusiasm for “the greatest man of his race” and that $25 are to be spent in the matter. Mr. Washington once delivered a very fine oratorical speech at Atlanta, at its fair and was tho “hero” of that day. But years afterward the Atlanta butchery oceurred “all the same!” The bath of blood,” as the Chicago Abend- post (German) called it, appropriate- ly! Mr. Washington is’ an optimist, and that has {ts merits. But a man who {s always an optimist and under all circumstances, 13 “daft,” beg par. dou, is “naive” beyond endurance. Our Northern white-labor union aristocrats, who set the bad example, ‘will in time, “reap thelr own sowing.” “Wrong comes home to roost.” In socialistic circles this inner connec- tion between the aristocrats of every shade, is felt and deplored, by not a fow.. In time our trade unionists will find, that in the long run, justice, hu- manity aud a good conscience,’ are better assets, than big wages and fat places, at the expense of the “poorer” fellow-being, even if “brother” does Jar too hard on some ears, as yet! ee ae es WRIGHT BOYS GET MEDALS Entire Population of Dayton, O., Turn ‘Out and Celebrate the Event— Presentation Impressive.

With the exception of one, those killed were foreigners. With few exceptions those injured were Americans. Twelve of the more seri- ously injured were taken to Spangler hospital. It was stated all would probably recover. Superintendent A. M. Johnson stated that while the mine has always been regarded as noo- gaseous, the explosion was due tc the ignition of a pocket of gas by the open jamp of a miner. ‘The mine has only been operating two days each week, Tuesday and Friday. Those in the mine had en- tered the shaft for their daily allow: ance of coal for family use.

LONDON’S FEW FRAME HOUSES Old Wooden Structures That Possess Historical Interest Soon to Be Torn Down. London—Across Blackfriars bridge, scarcely five minutes’ walk from St Paul's cathedral, is a row of very an cient “frame buildings,” the only one of its kind now remaining within the boundaries of the metropolitan district. ‘These old wooden structures are soon to come down to make room for mod- ‘ern offices. From the purely architectural or ar- istic point of view, these particular wooden buildings are nothing to boast Ns 7 Hl? We ny = es of Any “New” American western town can show similar structures. They are “clinker” built two-story af- fairs unpretentious as to outward ap- pearance. ‘But it is their history that counts. These buildings always have possess- ed more or less Interest to American visitors, as they were erected during the first year of the American war af independence. As specimens ot carly London building work they pos- sess an interest in themselves. After the great London fire of 1666, a large tumber of wooden buildings were erected in various parts of London and though these particular ones did not come into existence until a hundred years afterwards they were regarded in their day as among the most impos- Ing edifices of thelr kind. Historically, the bulldings possess interest as having been the temporary abiding place of the famous engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, who bullt the first tunacl under the Thames, and also planned the famous Clifton suspension bridge which won him fame in the engineering world. Brunel also was the designer of the Great Hustern, the largest ship ever built, and of the frst propeller ship to cross the Atlantic. It is sald that he lived in these houses during the years of the greatest engineering activity. ‘The district in which these houses stand is not now considered a “select” one, but, in the early days, soveral prominent London city merchants re- sided there; and in this neighborhood aiso lived numerous famous actors and actresses, Gacrick, Mrs. Siddons and Sheridan at one time lived on the south side of the river and even in the earder days Shakespeare's thea. ter—the Globe—ot which the poet held the majority of shares—stood in the neighborhood of Blackfriars bridge.

Has it occurred to you to consider what you could do under similar circumstances? Isn't it reasonable to suppose that you can do as well? If you should go to the Gulf Coast Country of Texas and buy a 10-acre tract this is what you might reasonably expect, if you do as well as the average—for these are not fanciful figures—but the actual average results, carefully figured from the yields of a large number of growers in the Gulf Coast Country of Texas: WINTER CROPS SUMMER CROPS—Same Land 3 a Bermuda Onions, $939.00 1 a Cauliflower, 793.00 2 a Cabbage, 254.00 1 a Potatoes, 380.00 1 a Cucumbers, 246.00 1-2 a Celery, 456.00 1-2 a Egg Plant, 400.00 1 a Peppers, 1000.00 10 acres Total $4468.00 2 a Indian Corn, $44.50 2 a Peanuts, 160.00 5 a Cotton, 310.00 1 a Sorghum, 75.00 Total yield from 10 a, $5057.50 The expense of raising these crops is not great, for you will not need much help on 10 acres. You can do what others are doing. Go, see for yourself. Very low excursion fares twice a month via Rock Island-Frisco Lines. The trip itself will be a pleasure. The climate is a marvel to all—winters mild and sunny—summers pleasantly cooled by Gulf breezes. Can you afford to miss such an opportunity?

"The countess de Pourtales was a New York Lorillard," said a New York tobaccoist. "So on both sides, of course, she has blue blood. Yet she is without false pride. "At a recent tobacco men's convention a director told me of a remark the countess made in Blarritz to an arrogant*Englishman. "This fellow boasted of his ancestry. The countess said that sort of talk wouldn't be understood in the wild west. She said an Englishman said to a Texas cowboy once: "I have Tudor blood in my veins on the maternal side and through my father's family I am a Plantagnet." "Is that so?" said the cowboy, brightening with keen interest. "My blood's a leetle mixed, too. My grandfather was a Jersey tenderfoot and my grandmother a Digger Indian squaw. We're both half-breeds, swanger. Come and liquor up!""—Cincinnati Enquirer. "Excuse me, can I speak to your typewriter a moment?" "You cannot; she's engaged." "That's all right; I'm the fellow she's engaged to."

"Cousin Harvey," said Amos, poining to the town square, with its muddy roads straggling off into the country dreariness, "don't you like the way our town is laid out?" "Indeed I do," replied Cousin Harvey, "it looks as natural as life." Fawncy! "If I were running things," said the boarding house philosopher, "I'd put a prohibitory tariff on slang.

Consumption among Japanese laborers is increasing to such a degree that the figures are becoming a source of anxiety to Japanese merchants and officials. A large percentage of laborers You are sent back to Japan by the Japanese labor camps to consumptives. It is claimed by the Japanese newspapers comenting on this matter that through the lack of hospital accommodations in the Japanese labor camps tuberculosis increases at an alarming rate. They suggest that a new system be employed in dealing with the sick in these camps, as the Japanese are quite ignorant of even the most simple health safeguards. Not That Kind. Apropos of examination time, Prof. Carl C. Petersen of Dubuque related at a recent dinner some examination stories. "Once, in a Bible lesson," he said, "I repeated the text: "Arise and take the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt." "And then I showed the children a large picture that illustrated the text in bright colors." "The children studied this picture eagerly. Then they all frowned; all looked rather disappointed. Finally a little girl said: "Teacher, where is the flea?" Youngster's Fellow Feeling. "A small boy, about five years old, was taken to an entertainment by his mother the other evening. It was 10:30 o'clock when they reached home and the little fellow was very tired and sleepy. He undressed quickly and hopped into bed. "George," said his mother sternly, "I'm surprised at you." "Why, wamma?" he asked. "You didn't say your prayers. Get right out of that bed and say them." "Aw mamma," came from the tired youngster, "what's the use of wakin' the Lord up at this time of night to hear me pray?" Absent All Around The absent minded professor returned home one evening, and, after ringing his front doorbell for some time to no effect, heard the malf's voice from the second story window: "The professor is not in." "All right," quietly answered the professor; "Till call again." And he hobbled down the stone steps.—Lippincott's. Her Decision and His. An earnest stage aspirant dramatically announced to the manager that unless she could obtain an engagement she would kill herself. To quiet the lady the manager agreed to hear her recite. He listened for a few minutes. Then he unlocked a drawer in his desk and handed her a revolver.—Lippincott's. WON'T MIX Bad Food and Good Health Won't Mix. The human stomach stands much abuse but it won't return good health if you give it bad food. If you feed right you will feel right, for proper food and a good mind is the sure road to health. "A year ago I became much alarmed about my health for I began to suffer after each meal no matter how little I ate," says a Denver woman. "I lost my appetite and the very thought of food grew distasteful, with the result that I was not nourished and got weak and thin. "My home cares were very heavy, for besides a large family of my own I have also to look out for my aged mother. There was no one to shoulder my household burdens, and come what might, I must bear them, and this thought nearly drove me frantic when I realized that my health was breaking down. "I read an article in the paper about some one with trouble just like mine being cured on Grape-Nuts food and acting on this suggestion I gave Grape-Nuts a trial. The first dish of this delicious food proved that I had struck the right thing. "My uncomfortable feelings in stomach and brain disappeared as if by magic and in an incredibly short space of time I was myself again. Since then I have gained 12 pounds in weight through a summer of hard work and realize I am a very different woman, all due to the splendid food, Grape-Nuts." "There's a Reason." Trial will prove.

In the height of the recent wheat tumult Broker Patten, discussing the government's wheat estimates with a reporter, said calmly: "But some of the men the government takes its figures from are greenhorns. Perfect greenhorns. As bad as the Dutch sailor, you know. "The captain said to the sailor, when the ship came to port: "Take a boat, run ashore and buy two dollars' worth of vegetables." two dollars worth of vegetables. "The sailor didn't know what vegetables were, so as soon as he struck land he said to a 'longshoreman: "What is vegetables, mate?" "Oh, dried peas, for instance," the "longshoreman answered. "So the Dutch sailor spent his two dollars on a huge sack of dried peas. "When he drew near the ship again with his load the captain called him from the bridge: "Well, have you got those vegetables?" "Shiver my timbers!" said the salesman to job before me now, and no mistake! SORE EYES CURED. Eye-Balls and Lids Became Terribly Inflamed—Was Unable to Go About —All Other Treatments Failed. But Cuticura Proved Successful. "About two years ago my eyes got in such a condition that I was unable to go about. They were terribly inflamed, both the balls and lids. I tried home remedies without relief. Then I decided to go to our family physician, but he didn't help them. Then I tried two more of our most prominent physicians, but my eyes grew continually worse. At this time a friend of mine advised me to try Cuticura Ointment, and after using it about one week my eyes were considerably improved, and in two weeks they were almost well. They have never given me any trouble since and I am now sixty-five years old. I shall always praise Cuticura. B. Halsey, Mouth of Wilson, Va., Apr. 4, 1908." Potter Drug & Chem, Corp. Solo Press.
