From among a full line of very good looking evening wraps there may be singled out several that, in their more practical cut and their less delicate coloring, suggest the making of the economical evening cloak. PROPER FITTING OF SLEEVE Highly Important Part of Costume That Is Too Frequently Neglected. The correctly fitted sleeve misplaced is such an everyday occurrence that we actually have grown used to it and are no longer distressed at the grewsome sight. *A glance at those on the street and The black satin wrap stands forth alone among a host of palest rose and blue garments as a most sensible investment for the woman of one wrap for all gowns and all weathers. The lining may be the richest of Chinese blue in satin wadded for warmth or only, an albatross cloth chosen for coziness; but the wrap of these colors will be a permanent possession. Then there is the dark tobacco-brown that, in its broadcloth elegance, may be worn year after year without comment and with a mighty satisfaction. Each atom of dust and every careless toss its owner gives it cannot spoil its smooth, well-colored surface. The young girl's wrap, that one red-ridlinghood cape and cap that never goes out of style, may be as plain or as handsome as mother chooses or daughter succeeds in getting, and it may be as warm as toast, for glorious shades of red are brought in very soft yet warm materials. The glittering chiffon and the lacelined wrap are not the everyday practical articles we nearly all are interested in, but there's another one that is—the velveteen. Given a beautifully colored piece of this material that will spot with neither rain nor snow, and you have a garment to cuddle in—one worthy of your best pieces of fur clipped from some half-worn cape or coat. The remnant of brocaded silk or the old family shawl of crepe will not be wasted as a lining for the velveteen wrap. To Make Bag Bugs. To make a rug bag buy a wooden crochet hook costing 13 cents. Next take all your old pieces of rags and cut one and one-half inches in width, sew the strips together and roll in a ball, each color separate. Old stockings are very good to use and they can be cut in one long strip by cutting around the stocking, beginning with a bias cut at the top of the stocking and ending at the toe. They do nicely for border. I have made both round and square ones. To make a round one, begin with 15 single crochet stitches and join in a ring; next make a double crochet stitch in each stitch all around, and continue to make with an extra stitch, every ten stitches, in each row, until you have your rug as large as you want it, making the border with the stockings. Fill in the round space in the center by crocheting to the very last stitch towards the center until one stitch is left to catch firmly. Neck Pendants and Earrings. Many styles of fancy hairpins are being shown, some with disk tops of repousse silver and others with jewels. The vogue for neck pendants is at its height, and the long slender earring of jet or of brillants is now almost generally adopted. The newest hat forms are turned up against the left side of a tall hat crown—Harper's Bazar. --- THE GAZETTE liberty.

The correctly fitted sleeve misplaced is such an everyday occurrence that we actually have grown distressed to it and are no longer distressed at the grewsome sight. "A glance at those on the street and a critical survey at home should convince the one on sleeves intent that, firstly, the front seam is misplaced, and, failing at this point, the entire sleeve is thrown out of gear and trouble follows round the entire arm's eye. It extends outward, as it were, in ripples to the whole upper part of the sleeve and pulls even the bodice out of position. With the sleeve seam placed an inch too high the top gathers will be thrown backward, so that, instead of their being at the top of the arm and extending the same distance frontward and backward, they will all appear at a bunch and too far back. Common sense should enter in; gathers are intended to make room for the rise of the arm. They, therefore, are needed at the very top-center of the arm, where it joins the body, and not at any point along the back, where there is not fulness of arm to necessitate gathers. It is really humane to look into this little matter of armholes and front seams and to assist in eliminating just one more unpleasant sight. Whenever fashions are voluminous the public as a whole dresses well, because gathers are kindly and concealing; but with scant princess lines, misfits shriek out their difficulties and inflict pain on the sensitive all along the line. HANDSOME LACE WAIST This beautiful waist is of black lace. The sleeves are cut in one piece with the waist, the fronts of which are crossed and ornamented with a handsome jet embroidery. The tucker and the short under-sleeves are of white lace. Hand-Made Frames. There is a present fad for using hand-made frames of wood, both in square and oval pieces, when are finished with sandpaper and wood filler to make them natural in wood effect. They bring out the delicate tints of some pictures to much better advantage than gold or highly ornamenta frames. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1909. TREMENDOUS! THE STRUGGLE! TREMENDOUS! THE STRUGGLE! RESULTANT FROM THE DISFRAN- CHISEMENT EFFORTS IN MARYLAND. THE SOUTH'S WHOLE SYSTEM MENACED! Leading Daily Newspapers in Both Sections of the Country Quoted—What the Maryland Franchise Amendment Provides—What the "Grandfather Clause" is—Very Interesting. Little opposition has hitherto been made to the southern movement for depriving the Negro of the ballot, but the threat is being made that if Maryland adopts a disfranchising measure at its November election, as is contemplated, the friends of the Negro will carry the matter to the supreme court. The court is also aware that might overthrow all similar laws already adopted. Why should Maryland insist on having the dubious "grandfather clause," when it "may mean that the whole question of southern suffrage laws may be dragged into the courts," asks the Richmond Times Dispatch (Dem.). And while the south is still in the grip of its former laws are in danger, the Republicans of the north are objecting for another reason. Maryland has gone Republican several times in recent years, and the Republicans fear that if the black voters are disfranchised, the state will be put permanently into the Democratic column. The New York Tribune reports that the Republicans are institutional against the scheme, and the president has taken the unprecedented course of denouncing it as "vicious," and a "gross injustice and a violation of the spirit of the fifteenth amendment" which "ought to be voted down by every one, whether Democrat or Republican," who is in favor of a similar constitutional amendment was defeated in Maryland. The Maryland franchise amendment provides that a voter or his wife must have paid taxes on $500 worth of property for two years, or he must be able to write down his name, age, place of birth, residence and occupation for the preceding two years, the names of his employers during the same period, the names of his spouse, the name of the president of the United States, of a justice of the supreme court, of the governor of his own state, and a judge of its highest court, and of the mayor of the city or of one of the county commissioners. By the "grandfather clause" a man may vote without the property or educational qualifications if he swears that he will vote for the president January 1, 1869, or that he has become a naturalized citizen between that date and the adoption of the amendment, or that he is a descendant of any such native or naturalized citizen. These provisions are expected to exclude the bulk of the Negro vote without excluding any white voter. The Baltimore American papers, such as the Baltimore American argue that the Democratic "bosses" are pushing the amendment, not to save the state from Negro denomination, but to make sure of their own domination, which is now threatened every time the independent Democrats become dissatisfied and vote with the Republicans. Maryland has less than 20 per cent of Negro population, as compared in Georgia, 47 in Louisiana, and 58 in Mississippi and South Carolina, so that the Negro "problem" in its politics is less pressing. A SPLENDID SHOWING! Eaker Street Church Progressing—Itl Energetic Pastor Returned—A Strong Stand for Mixed Schools. Dayton, O.—While Rey, J. G. Robinson, the pastor of Eaker Street church, received a salary of something over $1,000 last year, when it is considered that in this is counted marriage fees, private donations, and credits for absence from duty, no one has been hurt and the dignity and tone of the church has been maintained to the extent that the number of people. The church collected for all purposes last year under his very efficient leadership: Dolar money, $105.75; conference contingent, $60.55; missions, $78.00; charity, $251.04; presiding elder, $128.00; education, $75.75; steward purposes other than minister's salary, $102.03; current trustee expenses, $246.10; church budget, $67.90; Children's day, $10.30; conference minutes, $6.50. Total, $229.33. This report stands for itself. The fact that the pastor has been returned to Eaker Street church for the third year shows that the North Ohio conference, Rev. Dr. Gilmore, P. E. and Bishop W. B. Derrick have placed the stamp of approval upon the work of Dr. Robinson—The voters of Dayton are passively allowing the members of Eaker Street church who are voters look well to the interests of the race. Those who are willing to divide the spoils with us should have our support. Stand by those who have all along stood by the principle of giving us our rights. In a recent issue of the church's "Weekly Bulletin," Dr. Robinson has the following vee: there is a mushroom agitation to segregate the schools. When we first came to Dayton, we were inclined to think segregation was the proper thing, but the more we study the question the more we became disgusted at the idea. It is not separation that we want; we want the Negro mother and father to properly keep their children in touch with hygiene methods, and let them go to the schools as they are supposed to go. The school members of the good board that will give us a mixture of the teaching force. Away with this Ben Tillman-Jim Vardaman-Hoke Smith Jeff, Davis Negro-hating, race discriminating policy of separate schools or separate anything else! We are men and women like all other and must be treated as such. GOOD! TAFT'S "NEW SOUTHERN POLICY" Working Over-Time in the North— Our Sailors Excluded from the Great "Hudson-Fulton" Pa- New York City—Stories of marked discrimination against Negro sailors on account of their color were circulated with amazing frequency while the United States warships were in the New York harbor, and the fact that there were more in the big naval parade last week Thursday appears to bear the charges the officers of the "Tin-Spanish ships" are not treating them with the respect due them. In the "Hudson-Fulton" parade last week Negroes were conspicuous by their absence, and the question was asked many times during the parade by the white and colored spectators—"Where are the Negro sailors?" Many remarked that it was strange that while there are several hundred Negro sailors that were seen in the parade, it was noticed, however, that a number of Filipino sailors who have enlisted in the navy were in line with the other sailors from their respective battleships. Investigation shows that our sailors were assigned to duty on the battleships on the day of the parade, and that a course pursued by the women was the third in the series. It is soldom, if ever, that they are permitted to participate. During the recent voyage of the American fleet around the world reports of discrimination were heard from many quarters. In England a reception was tendered the American sailors by the English tars. Our sailors were not allowed to take part, which was noticed by the women. The action of the naval officers in refusing to permit them to take part in last Thursday's parade has aroused a storm of criticism from our residents of Greater New York, and expressions of condemnation are general. A movement is on foot to take the matter to the secretary of the Navy, which is to be sure that they are discriminated against. Taft's secretary of war is "Jake" Dickinson, a Mississippiian (by way of Chicago), and an exrebel Negro hater. He will no doubt, tell us "why?" BOOKER T. WASHINGTON AT AK RON! So Dr. Washington has about come to the conclusion that after all pre-eminence and notoriety of the kind he has, is not a safeguard from being publicly insulted merely on account of color. That holds management in Iowa, but not between the eminent educator and any other persons of color. Now is the time for Booker Washington to show to the public that there is some degree of manhood that defies at some time these henious public insults. Ohio has an effective Civil Rights law, the 1954 Civil Rights Act, editor of The Cleveland (O.) Gazette, when a member of the legislature in 1894, and that hotel should be made to feel the power of it. If this thing is allowed to pass unnoticed or without dignified resentment on the part of a man, it will be cast upon Mr. Washington, then indeed will there be cast upon the race as a whole a smirch and smear that will savon of cowardiness. Now, Mr. B. T. W., it's up to you, and you win or lose, make some showing that the foreman has been insulted, and be continually insulted without redress of some kind. Senator Dick again demonstrated his gentlemanly qualities by his so readily throwing open the doors of his residence. The whole race appreciates the act. Portland (Ore.) Advocate. Out in Akron, O., a few days ago, Dr. Booker T. Washinton was refused accommodation in the Buchset Hotel on the grounds of color. Now, why does not Dr. Washington invoke the interest of his powerful friends to right this kind of wrong? Instead of asking for help, Dr. Washington the land talking about the importance of "Negroes learning the industries." He should turn about and face the music or disclaim anything like leadership—Brooklyn (N. Y.) Eye. Is a Criminal Operation. Dr. Charles E. Page, (white) one of the best known Boston physicians, declares: "An operation for appendicitis should be called a criminal operation and as such should be prohibited by law." "I have been following the records of appendicitis operations ever since the craze for this form of 'surgery started,' says Dr. Page, "and I confidently believe that the day is coming when the people will realize that the nature of the appendix is a criminal operation." "After the widely proclaimed benefits and saving of life by operations to cut the appendix, it seems hardly necessary to cite the long list of the deaths following the operation." Arrested In the Pulpit: Philadelphia, Pa.—Just as he had completed warning the congregation of the First Baptist church here, one day last week, to conduct themselves as good Christians, as they did not know what was in store for them, two deputy-sheriffs ascended the platform and placed the "Rev." Robert W. Parson, an "evangelist," under arrest. He was compelled to attend the court as served with a capita issued by Judge Carr, in a suit for $10,000 damages, filed by Jefferson Trice, who charged Parson with alienating the affections of his wife. Strike Back: the Only Way West Chester, Pa.—Our men in upper Oxford township have decided to settle at the polls the issue raised by the directors of the public schools in providing a separate school for our children at Lincoln university. They have issued an appeal, in which they declare they have been betrayed by Republican officials and that they have an organization to reach all of our voters in the state and warn them of impending dangers.

C.—After twenty years of efficient service as postmaster of this city, Hon. Joshua E. Wilson has been removed from office by President Taft. It is needless to state that his place has been filled by a "Lily-White." Where is their boasted civil service reform? Is it for white officeholders, only. The removal of Postmaster E. Wilson is an important step the postmaster was giving complete satisfaction to all, wherein three-fourths of the prominent business men of Sumpter were heartily in favor of Rev. Wilson's reappointment, despite his color, but the "Lily-White" influence, which seems to be gaining ground with the Taft administration, won out, regardless of what the regiment had to do. The business men had to be. It is known that section that President Taft is at the bottom of the propaganda which seems to be going the rounds in the south to remove all Negroes from positions, whether they are acceptable to white people or not. Our people of this part of the country are not alone in the belief that Taft is behind this wholesale dismissal of Negroes from office because they remember his role as the precluded south to do this work. Wilson's removal has aroused a hornet's nest and mutterings of discontent can be heard in many sections of the south. Leading Republicans of this state declare that from now on it is the case of a bitter fight with the "Lily-Whites." So far Taft has not stood out for one Negro appointment in the entire south. Our voters that they feel that a day of reckoning will come and that some time in the future they will have an opportunity to punish their enemies, beginning with President Taft. Refused to Hear Taft Jackson, Miss.—At a recent meeting to consider the advisability of inviting President Taft to address our citizens in this portion of the state, they refused to pass such a resolution. Mr. Taft is not in the good graces of our people anywhere. This is the first time, in history, that our people have refused to try to get a president to address them, when he was traveling in their particular part of the country, general feeling to the effect that since our citizens are taxpayers and supporters of the government, President Taft has no right to kick them out of office as he is doing throughout the south, and to refuse to appoint any of us to office; nor has he any party-right to appoint "illy-white Republicans" (Demopubs), mostly Democrats! The Martyr, John Brown! The American Magazine for October has much of him and his sons, etc.; a finely illustrated article, also one on Taft. Be sure to get a copy and read it carefully. Full of good things. Prillerman Succeeds McHenry Jones. Charleston, W. Va.—Professor J. McHenry Jones, late president of the West Virginia institute, has been succeeded by Professor Byrd Prillerman, one of the finest characters in this state. IN UNION UNION 14 JULY "SEIZE CONGO STOP ATROCITIES" ONLY INTERVENTION BY POWERS CAN REMEDY CONDITIONS, CONAN DOYLE DE- CLARES. "BOX THE EARS OF BELGIUM" Says Armed Invasion Would be Justified, but Wouldn't be Necessary—“A Great Humanitarian Question”—“Cold Blooded Misdrule”—“Hard on So-called “White” Men. London, England. Sir A. Conan Doyle, who left Gibraltar recently for Algeria, was the most important of sailing with proofs of his book, “The Inconge the Congo.” Mr. Doyle said: “I have studied the Congo for years and I have always hoped when Belgium took the Congo territory from Leopold reforms would come; but after years of waiting I find that while there has been some abatement of the atrocities, the Congo still prevails to an alarming degree. The slavery in the Congo remains as bad as ever. Something must be done. Belgium shows no signs of doing it; therefore the European powers responsible for the Berlin treaty must shoulder the responsibility and carry the reform through. I am much moved by the “Pool of Silence” which means for the Congo what “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” meant to the anti-slavery movement in America. It is an enormously powerful document, not exaggerated in the slightest degree. Stacpoole’s picture is a small sample of the kind of thing transpiring under Belgian fiction. The propagandist power of fiction has been underrated. The fact that he even given to the part that fiction has played in the great reforms of history.” Questioned as to whether in writing his book he was acting on humanitarian or political grounds, Mr. Doyle replied: "On humanitarian grounds entirely. Had the Congo been merely a trade or a political question I would not have devoted my time and work to questioning the Congo. Question arises we all have the duty thrust upon us of trying to put the wrong right. I have endeavored to sweep over the whole controversy in my forthcoming book. The average man is puzzled about the Congo. He hears about misrule, but he knows little about the country. He does not understand the nature of his aim is to excite indignation against the Belgian misrulers. My view is that other great crimes in history have been caused either by a fanatical religion, which is itself just an exaggeration of a respectable emotion, or a political act. Belgium has been cold blooded and actuated by the lowest and most sordid motives. There has been nothing in history to compare with the Congo atrocities. Bulgaria was a small place, but Congo has been cold blooded and actuated by the lowest and most sordid sia. From twenty to thirty millions have suffered. I weigh alternative solutions ending with the conclusion that Belgium cannot continue to administer Congo—they have been tried and found wanting. Stanley found the natives infinitely more advanced and hapier than the native civilization is more barbarous than native barbarism. The types of white men are infinitely more savage." JEWS IN IRE; CHAMBER SNUBBED THEM. Were Left Off Committee of 50 Appointed to Entertain Japanese Visitors—Boycotted Banquet—Just What Was Wanted. Jewish members of the Chamber of Commerce were very angry last week as a result of the visit of the Japanese trade commission. None of the many Jewish members was placed on the committee of 50 which planned the program, the visiting dignitaries. We were given all place in the program last Saturday night a week ago at the Country club, or on the program at the banquet at the chamber last week Monday night. The first open evidence of their feeling came last week Monday night when, by apology, all were placed on the program refrained from attending the banquet. Though they did not attend, many were asked to contribute to the entertainment fund. The committee of 50 which prepared the program for the entertainment of the Japanese was named by Edwin C. Baxter, as secretary, to the chamber. When the committee was announced there was a protest from Jewish members, who sent a representative to Baxter for explanation. Rabbi Gries Tuesday refused to repeat what Baxter said or to comment on the situation, and deplored the fact that news of the estrangement was being circulated among the chamber. E. M.

We do not hear so much, these days, from those "prominent Negroes" who were to get jobs under the Taft administration because of their shameful support of him last fall. Why? In Chicago, in recent weeks, "white" thieves have been blackening their faces. The police finally secured a confession from one of them, as well as other conclusive evidence of the fact. Maybe this sort of thing is being done here in Cleveland, and in your home town, too, reader. With the leading Democratic and Republican papers of Baltimore supporting an effort to disfranchise the Afro-Americans of Maryland, the outlook is anything but encouraging, unless in so doing a movement is started among wealthy white Republicans of the east to fight the matter of southern disfranchisement in the United States supreme court. If Mayor Tom L. Johnson listens to the siren voice of the street car company or any of its friends, or others, and permits Judge Tayler or any one else to invigile him into a settlement of the street car question, or even in an agreement to do the same thing, even after a referendum election, on a basis of less than seven tickets for a quarter with universal free transfers and a transfer on a transfer on cross-town lines (what the company offered him for a settlement last year), he will be defeated for re-election as mayor in November just so surely as an election is held. Leading Ohio Republicans are already down on their knees begging ex-Senator Forker to accept the nomination for governor next year. They know he is the only man in the party who can defeat Gov. Harmon (Dem.) for re-election. These same leading Republicans led the fight to defeat the senator's re-election to the United States senate. We doubt very much that he will listen to anything less than a unanimous call from Ohio Republicans to stand as our gubernatorial candidate, next year, because it would mean too great a sacrifice in every way in order for him to do so. The Newport News (Va.) Star will permit us, we feel sure, to remind it that there is no National Afro-American Press Association, the presidency of which is worth "squabbling" over. The alleged N. A.—A., P. A., "organized" some months ago somewhere in the south with one of his newspaper boomer-correspondents at the "head" of it, as a tail to Dr. Booker T. Washington's Very expensive luxury, the "National Negro Business Men's League (or whatever he calls it)." a common joke, pure and simple. Allow those who wish to play with it to do so. It's as harmless as it is useless. An Afro-American who was ejected from a train in Oklahoma while an interstate passenger, for not complying with "Jim Crow" laws of that state, had a hearing in a damage suit recently brought before Judge Bowles in the district court of that state, and was denied damages. This is the first time the law has been thus construed and it is claimed that it establishes a new and bad precedent against our people, in enforcing the law. Again we call upon some one of our several "national" organizations to take the matter into the United States supreme court at once, and have settled, once and for all, the right of Afro-American inter-state passengers to get in every state of this Union what they pay for (without reference to class or color) when they purchase a first-class ticket. President Taft's "new southern policy" had a busy time of it last week; "fired-out" of office, in spite of civil service "reform" ideas. Postmaster Wilson of Sumter, S. C., solely because he is an Afro-American; excluded Afro-American sailors of the U. S. navy from participation in the great New York "Hudson-Fulton" parade, and caused several other happenings along a similar line, only a little less aggravating. Even the truckling N. Y. Age was apparently "stung" (at last) hard enough to let out a very guarded and somewhat pitiful yelp. Well, we told you so, many, many times last year, but you would not listen. O. by the way, when was Receiver Walter Cohen of New Orleans "reappointed"? The Age announced some weeks ago, with a flourish of journalistic or rather political trumpets, that he "would surely be" and "soon." President Taft does not seem to be accepting even suggestions relative to the appointment of Afro-Americans to office, from our more or less esteemed contemporary or any one else. This is not at all surprising, especially when one remembers that Dr. Booker T. Washington, the owner of that THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1909. paper, is in perfect accord with Tafi's "new southern policy." The Age's pitiful yelp, is only a bluff to fool and retain some of its readers. WE NEED A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE! It is really encouraging to see how generally it is recognized as a racial DUTY, that we all vote for Walter L. Brown for Justice of the Peace, the best position that any party, locally, has nominated an Afro-American for in the last twenty-five years or more. The fact that he is on the Democratic ticket means absolutely nothing to the intelligent, loyal and self-respecting member of the race, a voter. The fact that he is an Afro-American, competent, and that we need particularly a man of the race in that position in this community where the average white republican or democratic city Justice of the Peace has not always done the right thing by a good deal in civil rights' cases as well as others in whom our people were greatly concerned, is all-sufficient. Show your manhood, race and self-respect and loyalty by coming out "flat-footed" for Walter L. Brown, for Justice of the Peace. That is what The GAZETTE has done and is continuing to do and proposes to keep on doing until the close of election day in November. Get busy, keep busy and we'll succeed. Those of the race in this city need an Afro-American Justice of the Peace many times more than any man could possibly need the position. That is the point. SEE! WILL THEY TEACH THE LESSON? When the Jewish members of the local Chamber of Commerce stayed away from the banquet to the Japanese Commission last week Monday evening, because they were discriminated against when the committee of fifty in charge of the entertainment of the distinguished visitors, was appointed by the assistant secretary of the Chamber, they made a great mistake, and "played right into the hands" of those responsible for the drawing of the shameful racial-line. One of the two main causes of the prejudice against the Jews in this country, is their exceptional success in business; the other is the fact that they are Jews. Those in this locality are, as a rule, too bright to be caught in the trap set for them by certain members of the Chamber recently. And too, Rabbi Gries and other leading members of his people in this community, can learn or rather be reminded of a lesson, as a result of their recent harrowing experience, the teaching of which to the intelligent of their people will greatly broaden them and develop a dormant sympathy and interest in other races that are burdened with much the same sort of racial prejudice. The double-headed and unreasonable prejudice against the Jew has no more reason for existence than the prejudice against the Afro-American; the prejudice of the German for the Irishman, and vice versa; and so on down the endless calendar of foolish prejudices. DR. THWING WANDERS. Dr. Charles F. Twing, president of Western Reserve university, addressing a large audience, Sunday afternoon, under the auspices of the Cleveland Association of Afro-Americans, at St. John's church, upon "The Higher Life," spoke specifically of the duty which our race owes itself. "The colored race should keep itself intact," Dr. Thwring said. "It has powers of its own; it should have a race pride as well as it has a race consciousness. The Anglo-Saxon has in the last thousand years made rich connoisseurs of the English language. Anglo-Saxon has, however, no monopoly of opportunity. The Japanese have wrought miracles in the last forty years. In the next thousand years the African race should do noble service for the welfare of the whole human race. The Japanese have imitate as it should seek to initiate. Racial integrity should aid intellectual and moral integrity. The black race should not wish to become the white race or the brown race, but it should struggle to become the best possible black race. It is only by such improvement of each race on the globe that the world of many races will be lifted and ennobled."—Monday's Leader. American "white" people are composite Anglo-Saxons, Dr. Thwing might have added and quite pertinently, too. For his information, we will add that "the black race" has no desire "to become the 'white' race" or any other race than it is; also that we have race pride, and good and sufficient reasons for the same. Furthermore, we have done "noble service for the whole human family" and have "made rich contributions to human betterment." We do not seek to "imitate" in anything like the proportionate degree that the so-called "white" race has and does. We did not hear the doctor's lecture, but if the above-quoted passages are a fair sample of it, he was ill-advised as to the line of his talk, for he certainly "wandered," to say the least. THERE WAS NO MOB, NO LYNCHING! About eight weeks ago an Afro-American was arrested and sent to the workhouse to serve out a long term as a result of a charge of attempted rape preferred by a white woman with whom he was found struggling on East Ninth street, this city, at the main gate of the "Erie street" cemetery, about midnight two months ago, Thursday of last week, Councilman George Lowe (Dem.) of the Twelfth ward, who has been unusually active in our interests for a member of the city council from that ward, secured the release of the man, on a parole, the woman in the case (so he told us last Thursday evening) appearing in an intoxicated condition at the City Hall to sign the papers securing the Afro-American's release. If current rumors at the time of his arrest and since, are to be considered in connection with the latest act of the woman and her alleged condition at the time of her appearance at the City Hall, one can come pretty near guessing the relations that existed between the Afro-American and the woman, his accuser with the police. Thousands of just such cases as this one, the parole excepted, have happened in past years and doubtless will continue to show up in the courts of the country for years to come. The man ought never to have been arrested; but so long as members of the race will persist in associating with such women, white or black, they may expect just such results or worse, and no parole as a rule either, because there are not many councilmen like George Lowe in or out of Ohio. Born and reared among our people of that section of the city, the Twelfth ward, he has remained there among us many years, with the result that he knows more of us, is broader-gauged, more liberal and friendly than the great majority of our professed "good friends" who take active interest in politics, and especially in us about election time only.

TO REDUCE THE SOUTH'S CONGRESS REPRESENTATION BECAUSE OF MANY STATES' DISFRANCHISEMENTI How Vital Matter Is Evaded, Dodged and Finally Ignored by Those in Power at Washington—A Veteran of the War of the Rebellion Writes. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: -How hard it is to move great parties, or for great parties to move themselves. The Republican party for three national campaigns has proposed to scale down or reduce southern representation. In congress in accordance with the fourteenth amendment to the constitution, the Republican party has proposed southern states. All these years the Republican party has had the requisite majority to compel the compliance with the constitution. All these years it not only falls but refuses to do it. The Republican party has proposed in the national platform, however, to hold voters in the ranks who would otherwise drop out. "Yes," say the leaders, sub rosa. "let us hold these old voters a little longer till a new generation of voters come on who are not as well educated as we measure—then we can ignore it entirely. Let us spring the tariff issue, about which question voters have as many different notions as there are letters in our alphabet, and many have no notion whatever. This will draw us away from the disfranchisement issue." All this time the disfranchising states are working solidly to clinch their purpose. In the minds of many the purpose is already clinched. They point out the difficulty of enforcing the constitution without themselves participating in the process, the representatives are already in congress, and in accordance with an act of congress fixing the number of representatives for each state. Their congressional districts were mapped out in the states in pursuance of said act of congress. Which of the members shall be appointed to the congressional question? We can't redistrict the state, for that is the mission of the state alone. They forget that some of the states, perhaps all, disfranchised their voters after they had been awarded the full representation in congress. When should the reduction of representation be mediated after disfranchisement? Was the fourteenth amendment a dead letter from the start? The "can't do it" say that congress can reduce only the basis of representation; that the representation is accurate to it already here. When will the south care for reducing the basis while representation remains? Out on such bosh. What is the difference between the basis of representation and representation itself? Only the difference between tweedie deer and a cow is the basis of representation itself. The basis will fall by the same blow. Cut down representation at the first meeting of congress after disfranchisement takes place. But say they can't do it; it requires an act of congress to reduce representation, and the president might veto it. This is not necessarily true. The constitution provides that congress shall be responsible for the constitution. It is not mandatory. Another provision of the constitution is that each house of congress shall be the sole judge of the elections, returns and qualifications of its own members, without the concurrence of the other house or the president. The house may expel a member if it is found to be guilty of doing with a whole member it may do with any fraction of a member. Alabama by population was entitled to nine members of the house at the census of 1900 but because of distrust according to Gen. Keifer's bill of three years ago. But the nine members are in the house. What are we to do about if? Why it is as simple as falling on smooth ice. Let Alabama's nine members still occupy their seats in the house, but allow each but five-ninths of each one to be five-ninths of the lawful mileage. Allow each only five-ninths of the salary of a full member. Let the house resolve, as it has a right to, that a representative from Alabama lacks four-ninths of being fully qualified to further distranchises citizens of the United States who are also citizens of her territory let her have a still smaller fraction of a member. Let her go on distranchising till she will have but the equal of one full member. Let her go on distranchising state. If the constitution is to continue to be so openly violated and defended as it has been for so long a time, let us repeal the defied provisions. The Republican party should enforce the constitution, or move it out, the repeal of other sections. JOHN T. CAMPBELL. Lafayette, Ind. ALL WERE AGAINST SLAVERY The Covenant That Was Made by the Family of the Martyr, John Brown, the Abolitionist. A real contribution to the civil war history of this nation appears in the American Magazine, in a remarkable interview with the son of John Brown, the great abolitionist and martyr. The interviewer, Miss Eleancer Atkinson, recounted that "it was in 1838. I think, that he revealed his purpose to his family. I was only 17 at that time, Jason 15 and Owen 14, Frederick, who fell at Ossawatomie, was nine, and Ruth whose husband, Henry Thompson, died at Harper's Ferry, was eight, and Frederick, Ferry, was baby of three. Oliver, who gave his life there for father also, was not born until 1839. My young steppermother was under 25. I think, with tour babies around her knees, when my father told her and us that he would never again engage in any business that he could not leave on two weeks' notice. He meant to make as much money as he could, to educate his children and to provide for his wife and helpless little ones. It might be years before opportunity offered to strike the blow, but he meant to prepare for it, and when the call" came his wife, his children considered a widow, his children committed to the care of Him who fed the ravens. "And then he knelt in prayer, to ask a blessing on his resolution. I say knelt, if I never saw him knee again, either before or after that time. He always stood upright to pray, after the manner of the early puritans. Young as we were, he took us into his confidence. Mother and the three oldest boys voluntarily entered into a covenant with him. There was no compulsion about it. We fully understood that meant for the Rev. Eljah Lovejoy, who recently been deed at Alton, Ill., for daring to print an abolition paper. As the other children grew older the matter was explained to them and not one failed him. As we married our wives and husbands were converted. There was a Brown family conspiracy that ex-unsuspected for 21 years, to break the covenant, and it was Bronson Alcott who said that in all history he knew of only one other instance of such a family covenant, and that was with Mohammed." THE NEGRO AS A MONKEY. What is It That Inspires the Average Young Negro to Do the Monkey Act in Public Places for the Benefit of Whites? Saturday afternoon, while at Washington Post, I wandered over where two colored teams were playing a game of ball, namely, the Emergencies, and evidently a picked nine. At any rate, I was interested in the game, as the contention on both sides seemed at fever heat, until the last part of the game, when several members of the team, including me, seemedly for the amusement of the white spectators, who were largely in the majority, and who laughed and applauded the monkey acts of these young men, whose deportment ought to have been far above any of those for whom they were playing monkey. The other thing in the sun that makes my good faith fairly it is to see a Nagel boy for a white man or woman. If the Negroes' deportment in the parks are anything like what I saw Saturday afternoon, I would advocate not only separate tennis courts, but the building of a fence around any section allotted to Negroes, in order that their children would not attract a crowd of whites. The average white man who attends colored affairs goes with the expectation of seeing just what I saw Saturday. The real amusement can be gotten out of any game without showing the slightest indication of doing the monkey act. Our deportment is going to be a factor to wards returning to school, we do not applaud the human monkeys. It's the class that is making a fight against us every day.—Chicago Defender. BOOKER'S "CHICKENS," CON- TINUED. The Cleveland Gazette, Hon. Harry C. Smith editor, has a bristling editorial on Booker T. Washington in its issue of September 25, 1909. The Buchtel hotel of Akron, O., refused Booker T. Washington accommodation and The Gazette reasons that it is in Washington's case, "chickens coming home to roost." In Washington's lectures he advised Negroes not to go in public places "where they were not wanted," and on that account the color-line in many instances was drawn from Negroes, the Negro of course, was proscribed. So much for Booker T. Washington—St. Louis (Mo.) Advance. Our esteemed contemporary fails to call attention to the phase of that Booker Washington-Akron experience that “grinds” the average level Afro American, here in Ohio and especially here in Cleveland, far more than the fact that the disagreeable affair is the direct outcome of that perennis “doctrine of surrender” preached by Mr. Washington in his Ohio lectures and talks. When he failed to accept Senator Dick's gracious invitation to become his “house-guest,” in the face of that contemptable hotelkeeper's mistreatment, he did the race throughout this country and especially in Ohio, positive injury. There was an opportunity for the man who would be our “national leader” to do something that would have had tremendous influence upon those of the people of this country who need most just such an object lesson as would have been therein presented. It would have been all the present. It would in America ETAOIN SHRDLU HRD R only in a much different way. O, how our people do need some man of large reputation like Dr. Washington who would rise to the full stature of American citizenship upon such occasions! Had he shown true manhood and race-leadership by accepting the splendid opportunity presented by Senator Dick, he would not only have “pulled the teeth” of that shameful refusal at the Buchtel Hotel, before the eyes and in the minds of the entire country but he would also have dealt color-lines throughout the land a vital blow, and given encouragement and even inspiration to our young, particularly, and the old, to “buckle on the tighter” tighter in a renewal and revival of the difficult struggle to retain citizen rights left and to regain those lost. If he is not in a position to do this, then he should cease the effort he and his friends, black and white, are making to foist him upon the race as its “national leader.” We need as national only men and women who are fearless, manly and womanly AT ALL TIMES, as well as capable from an intellectual and other necessary view points. Anent this miserable Akron experience, the Durham (N. C.) Reformer says: "Dr. Washington while in Akron, O., was refused quarters at a leading hotel in the city, and the pitality of Senator Dick whose home is in the city. It is so remarkable that a white minister show crew got the courtesies of the same hostelry the week before. Moral if you desire to be a minister, be dr. clown and be white than a leading world character and be otherwise." Cole & Johnson's "Red Moon Company" is not a "minstrel show" but a collection of Afro-American performers who would not have been afraid and would not have failed to accept a U. S. Senator's hospitality, so graciously extended, when turned from a hotel in his home city. Revise your "moral," confere. We can do it, but would spare Dr. Washington's feeling as the comparison necessary to be made would not improve the very uncomfortable position in the matter he now occupies in the minds of all many Afro-Americans and the same class of whites who are not literally saturated with prejudice. One "leading word character," we know had better stop "posing" as the "leader of his race," and in so doing do it the greatest good. Read the old reliable Gazette. "JUSTICE TO THE NEGRO" JUDGE DUGRO SCORED IN CALI FORNIA FOR HIS RECENT DISGUSTING DECISION. REV. DR. REYNOLD E BLIGHT Tells His Congregation That the Nei Negro Should Not be Discriminated Against - Lauds Members of Race at the New York Peril- ent Truths. Los Angeles, Cal.-Rev. Reynold E. Blight, minister of the Fellowship church, recently made a strong address at Blanchard hall, this city, on "Justice to the Negro, in which he challenged the Dignity of Blacks and declared that the success of this country depends on the development of sympathy and co-operation between the races. The address in part: "Mushy sentimentality and quixotism will never solve the race problem. It is not a matter of intermarriage or interracial marriage. Justice. We shall have riots, lynchings, turmoll and conflict just so long as we refuse the Negro his rights." "The Negro has a right to be treated as a man, as a beast, an alien, or child. The rights guarded by citizenship are properly his. The first step toward freedom is the recognition of manhood. Say what you will against the Negro, a race that can produce such characters as Toussaint L'Overture, Frederick Douglass, Prof. DuBois, Cook, and the recognition of the greatest consideration from the broadest race on earth. "Justice demands that the Negro shall not be discriminated against because of color. The test may be character, efficiency, intellect, but the right-thinking man is never prejudiced against color. He must be informed of that his mind may be enlightened, his brain developed and his hand made skillful. He must be equipped for the battle of life, and he is well within his rights when he demands a chance to work, and make good. Before the law he must stand on an equal footing with him, and when soon come when a decision such as was recently handed down by a New York judge giving a Negro smaller damages than he would have accorded a white man, shall be condemned and execrated, as unfair, illegal and un-American. demands that the Negro's political privileges shall not be abridged. If the franchise must be limited, let it be on educational or property grounds, and apply to black and white alike, but disfranchisement for reasons of color is repugnant to the spirit of American institutions. He may deny the color line is a façade and a humbug. "In the highest sense justice means the development of sympathy and cooperation between the races. In the upbuilding of the mighty American commonwealth each race has a duty to perform, and they must work together for the elimination of all causes and cultivation of all things that promote harmony, prosperity and the happiness of all." Do You Want 160 Acres? Do You Want 160 Acres?

Show your race pride by patronizing THE ORIOLE. Mr. John T. Campbell, elsewhere in The Gazette to date, offers an ingenious plan for getting around the argument that southern congressional representation cannot well be reduced to accord with population as provided by the law and the constitution. Where voters have been disfranchised he would have their number deducted from the number made the basis of apportionment, as specified in the fourteenth amendment; and if this reduces the number of congressmen in that state, say from ten to seven, he would not turn out three of the ten now already serving, but would have the vote of each counted as only such fractional part of a vote as would make in all seven votes. Mr. Campbell's scheme is simple and respectfully commended to the attention of timid congressmen who have many reasons sufficient to themselves for not doing the thing they ought to do. STEAMER IS WRECKED THE GEORGE STONE GOES TO PIECES IN LAKE ERIE. Six People Meet Their Death When They Attempt to Go to Shore for Assistance. Detroit, Mich.—In the wreck of the steamer George Stone of Cleveland, O., on Point Pellee, Ontario, upper Lake Erie added a gruesome chapter to the history of marine disasters on the Great Lakes. Six lives were lost and 12 were saved and the tail end of the recent gale is now lashing a hopelessly broken vessel that was not insured and belonged to M. A. Bradley of Cleveland. The dead: Capt. Paul Howell, 27, of Erie, Pa. Peter Dailley of Erie, Pa., a passenger. William Henry of South Chicago, Ill., second engineer. Cook Lucas of Cleveland. William Boyer of Cleveland, an oiler. Watchman, name not learned. The six victims lost their lives when Capt. Paul Howell, Peter Daley of Erie, who was a passenger, and six members of the crew were capsized in the surf attempting to go ashore for assistance. Two of the crew clung to the overturned boat four hours until they drifted ashore, six were drowned when the lifeboat capsized and the remaining ten members of the crew were taken off the wreck by the steamer WESTERN to Detroit. One of the ten brought to Detroit, John Diedrich, was knocked into the Detroit river by a crowd of strikers on the docks and narrowly escaped drowning after his arrival here In explanation of the wreck of the Stone it is said the combination of wind and currents that sent the Bradley steamer to her destruction are almost unprecedented on Lake Erie. The southwest wind had been driving the water in heavy currents from the head of the lake to its mouth. The recent high water at Buffalo resulted and at the Lime Klius crossing near the mouth of the Detroit river the water has been so low as to make navigation at times almost impossible. The steamer Stone was caught between Point Pelee and Pelee island, where she was driven ashore by the combined force of both the wind and the extraordinary currents. ROBS BANK: LATER SUICIDES Well Dressed Bandit Holds Up Bank Cashier and Secures $500, Which Is Afterward Recovered. Chicago, Ill.—A fashionably dressed bandit who robbed the savings bank of D. M.

The robbery was conducted in a delibrate and spectacular manner, the bandit securing about $500 in gold coin and bills after he had forced John C. Duffy, cashier of the bank, Miss Nellie Fitzgerald, the bookkeeper, and Joseph F. Richards, the receiving teller, into the cashier's care just after the closing of business for the day. A companion of the robber who had driven him to the bank in an automobile was captured immediately following the robbery, forcing the principal perpetrator of the daring daylight crime to flee on foot. He was engaged in a running duel with Town Marshal John Sheehan, who was the target for many bullets from the fugitive's revolver, one of which went through the sleeve of his coat. After running several blocks and falling to drive back his pursuers, the robber ran in on a shed closely followed by Sheehan. When he saw Sheehan enter the bed with his revolver leveled at his head, the fugitive put the muzzle of his own revolver in his mouth and fired a shot which resulted in his death almost instantly. All the money taken from the bank was found in his clothing. It was learned later that the dead bank robber had previously registered at the Avenue house in Evanston, Ill., as J. C. Wilson, Milwaukee, Wis., and that the automobile which took him to Highland Park had been loaned him by J. E. Keelyn, a wealthy mining man of Goldfield, Nev., who lives in Evanston part of the year. The man under arrest, believed by the police to have been the robber, was Keelyn's chauffeur. His name is Fred Schwab and he has been a trusted employee of Keelyn's in the west and in Chicago for several years. Schwab declared that he knew nothing about the character of his passenger; but simply offered the use of the automobile to the stranger. Lockjaw Kills Horses.

Morgan, confederate general, was released from the Ohio penitentiary for $30,000 in gold. John B. Gibson, captain of the First Kentucky cavalry, union army, who makes the statement, says the commonly accepted theory that Morgan tunneled his way out of the big prison is a joke. Tens of thousands of penitentiary visitors have been shown the cell where Morgan was confined and the opening of the tunnel through which he is supposed to have gained his liberty. Gibson says he is prepared to demonstrate the tunnel has no outside opening. He avers Morgan was given his liberty by federal soldiers, who divided the bribe money, and that the warden of the penitentiary knew nothing about it.

Not at all a bad story is going the rounds of a young woman in a New England town whose husband died, leaving her with two babies, two horses no longer young, a three-seated wagon, and a small house at the door of which the wolf fairly howled. Friends told her the only thing to do was to sell out, give at least one of the babies away, and go into a shop in the nearest city. But she couldn't and wouldn't, so she decided to try running a station wagon, as there was no such convenience in the town, which was near the ocean and figured as a small resort in the summer. A few men patronized, but the women were apparently annoyed that she had not taken their advice, parting with her little one and her home. The tide did not turn until a sympathetic summer visitor took up her case, engaged her for a shopping and a visiting tour between trains, and made it a point to refer to the new venture as a lively service, and to say how greatly it favored the town. That was six years ago. Not only has she kept the wolf from the door ever since, but this summer she was offered $5,000 for the business. Her first driver driver was so impressed with her abilities that he offered to marry her. He was "fired" for his kindness and a married man engaged in his stead. Death from Sting of Poisonous Flies.

Some people wait so long before sending their children to Europe that the little ones are humiliated by others who have already been there. Every self-respecting parent will be careful not to subject his children to this evil injustice; at the same time all unseemly hurry is to be avoided. Some people argue that as soon as a child can walk well and speak a few necessary French words, he should be placed in a stateroom, next to a private bath, and sent to Paris. Others feel that he must naturally lose much at this age, and that the proper time is between five and six, when—as an American—he has reached his maturity. Probably the ideal age is about four. At four a child can easily do England, France and Italy, and get home in time for the first night at the opera.—Judge's Library. Definite Location.

She paused, pen poised in air, and called out to an elderly lady, comfortably seated in a big chair, "Mon, veras I borne at?" "Vat you want to know dat for?"

It is pointed out that the hotel industry on the Riviera alone represents a capital of £75,000,000, and that most of the hotels belong to Swiss and other foreigners. There is no real reason why Frenchmen should not make excellent hotel-keepers, but hotel-keeping has to be learned, and the idea is to found a college at which young Frenchmen may be trained in everything appertaining to the hotel, from languages to cooking and hygiene. In Switzerland a number of these schools exist, and they have always been entirely successful.—Paris Corepondent London Express. A Popular Man.

Mrs. Rachel Ielch, Henrietta, Texas, saxas: "I would be ungrateful, I did be ungrateful if I did not tell what Doan's Kidney Pills have done for me.

"This old fellow was suspected of tampering with the church collections. A couple of clumsy traps that were set for him failed to work. Then one day a young deacon walked past his house leading a new horse. "That's a fine horse, deacon," the old fellow shouted. "Did you buy him at the fair?" "I bought him with my pickings out of the collection plate." "The old man looked horrified." "Good gracious!' he said. 'I've often taken enough myself to buy a hat or a pair of trousers; but, deacon, in takin' enough to buy a horse ain't ye committin' a positive sin!" Will Seek the South Role A. Henry Savage Landor, the English explorer, who will soon make an attempt to reach the south pole, is of the opinion that Lieut. Shackleton failed through having a cumbersome and unnecessarily large expedition. Mr. Landor's theory is that a small caravan of trusted and hardy men, lightly equipped as in his expeditions through Asia and Africa, is best. Mr. Landor's activity in aeronautic investigations gives color to the rumor that an airship will be used by him in his expedition. True Representative of Race Poe Representative of Race. Dr. Bethmann-Hollweg may claim this distinction, that he is the first German chancellor to wear a board German chancellor and leave his off when he entered upon diplomacy, and showed his rivals and enemies a massive jaw and clear-cut chin; and he shaved to the end, with an inter-valent enforced b neuralgia in the early '80s. As a soldier, too Capriol shaved, all but his mustache, and so did Hohenlohe and Bulow. But Bethmann-Hollweg is gaunt, rugged, hirsute, nan-Germanic. And There Are Others The cook had been called away to a sick sister, and so the newly wed mistress of the house undertook, with the aid of the maid, to get the Sunday luncheon. The little maid, who had been struggling in the kitchen with a coffee mill that would not work, confessed that she had forgotten to wash the lettuce. "Well, never mind, Pearl. Go on with the coffee and I'll do it," said the considerate mistress. "Where do they keep the soap?" FOOD QUESTION Settled with satisfaction by a Dysphetic. It's not an easy matter to satisfy all the members of the family at meal time as every housewife knows. And when the husband has dyspepsia and can't eat the simplest ordinary food without causing trouble, the food question becomes doubly annoying. An Illinois woman writes: "My husband's health was poor, he had no appetite for anything I could get for him, it seemed. "He was hardly able to work, was taking medicine continually, and as soon as he would feel better would go to work again only to give up in a few weeks. He suffered severely with stomach trouble. "Tired of everything I had been able to get for him to eat, one day seeing an advertisement for Grape-Nuts, I got some and tried it for breakfast the next morning. "We all thought it was pretty good although we had no idea of using it regularly. But when my husband came home at night he asked for Grape-Nuts. "It was the same next day and I had to get it right along, because when we would get to the table the question, 'Have you any Grape-Nuts' was a regular thing. So I began to buy it by the dozen pigs. "My husband's health began to improve right along. I sometimes felt offended when I'd make something I thought he would like for a change, and still hear the same old question, 'Have you any Grape-Nuts?' "He got so well that for the last two years he has hardly lost a day from his work, and we are still using Grape-Nuts." Read the book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a reason."

HAMLINS WIZARD OIL THE OIL THAT PENETRATES GREAT FOR PAIN TAKE CARE OF GOOD HEALTH Mistake Most People Make Is in Waiting for Bad to Come and Away If we would take as good care of our good health as we do of our bad health we would have more of the former and less of the latter. We set our good health down in a draft and let it get its feet wet; we inringe on its sleep time and gorge it with unsuitable food at irregular hours. We load it with nerve-racking cares and duties, and reply to its frantic appeals for rest with, "You haven't time." We squeeze it with clothing; we distract its ears with noise and its lungs with bad air. But we put our bad health in a quiet room, on a soft couch. We robe it in a comfortable gown; we give it pure air at stated intervals; we put ice on its head and water at its feet; we feed it with food convenient for it. We take away all care and responsibility; we give it a soothing draught to rest it; and we pay a doctor two dollars to come and leave it a scrap of paper and say that it will better to-morrow. One might think we preferred bad health to good health. —From an article in Good Health. TOTAL LOSS OF HAIR. Seemed Imminent—Scalp Was Very Scaly and Hair Came Out by Hand fuis—Scalp Now Clear and New Hair Grown by Cuticura. "About two years ago I was troubled with my head being scaly. Shortly after that I had an attack of typhoid fever and I was out of the hospital possibly two months when I first noticed the loss of hair, my scalp being still scaly. I started to use dandruff cures to no effect whatever. I had actually lost hope of saving any hair at all. I could brush it off my coat by the handful. I was afraid to comb it. But after using two cakes of Cutiura Scaap and nearly a box of Cutiura Ointment, the change was surprising. My scalp is now clear and healthy as could be and my hair thicker than ever, whereas I had my mind made up to be bald. W. F. Steese, 5812 Broad St., Pittsburg, Penn. May 7 and 21, 1908."

That poverty is a friend to consumption is demonstrated by some recent German statistics, which show that of 10,000 well-to-do persons 40 annually die of consumption; of the same number only moderately well-to-do, 66; of the same number of really poor, 77; and of paupers, 97. According to Burns, the famous English labor leader, 90 per cent of the consumptives in London receive charitable relief in their homes. Reaching Life's Goal.

We are so accustomed to having things "out of season," and especially to the cutting and storing of ice for use in the summer, that it is hard to put ourselves in the place of the simple old farmer told of by a writer in the Toledo Blade. In the summer of 1900 a party of surveyors was working through the state of Arkansas, surveying and locating the Midland Valley路. One day the surveying corps stopped at a farmhouse and shouted for the farmer. The Arkansan came out, and the surveyors asked him if they could get a drink. "Certainly, boys," he said. "I'll give you the best I've got, and the best I've got is buttermilk." "That will be fine," the surveyors said, and the old farmer gave each of the gang a glass of buttermilk. "It's mighty good," said one of the surveyors to McLoud. "Yes, indeed," McLoud replied, "but it would be better if we had some ice to put in it." Turning to the farmer, McLoud said, "Have you any ice?" "Ice!" shouted the farmer, tugging at his whiskers. "Ice! Who ever heard of ice in July?"—Youth's Companion. Conclusive. Mother—Tommy, why don't you play with Frank any more? I thought you were such good chums. Tommy—We was, but he's a molly-coddle! He paid to get inter their ball grounds.
