THE GAZETTE TWENTY-SEVENTH·YEAR. NO. 23. Three Pretty Costumes Costume for Girl of 16 to 18 Years. Simple Evening Dress for Girl of 14 to 16 Years. Evening Cloak. Costume for the Girl from 16 to 18 Years.—A good style for serge is illustrated herse; the skirt is cut with a panel down front, which is continued round the foot as a hand; straps of cloth cut different lengths trim the lower part of panel; a button is sewn in each point. The coat is semi-fitting and has the curved seams each side front trimmed with buttons and braid loops; tabs to match the skirt are sewn below the revers, which are edged on the inner side by a strip of caracul fur; this also edges the sleeve. Hat of hard felt trimmed with wings and s i k: Materials required: Six yards cl th 48 inches wide, 22 dozen buttons, 4½ yards coat lining. Evening Cloak—This graceful cloak is in soft blue satin charmeuse; it has alts cut for the arms to pass through; Petroleum Better than Kerosene for the Prevention of the Unpleasant Dandruff. Modern hair specialists know that the scalp troubles which cause falling hair and dandruff, arising from a germ; therefore, instead of depending upon tonics and various lotions to cure, they at once prescribe a germicide. One of the best of these germicides for most troubles is crude petroleum. It is better than kerosene, which is more generally used. It can be used once a week with beneficial results, as not only will it free the scalp of dandruff but produce a free growth of hair. As it is almost impossible to apply this greasy substance one's self without making the long hair disreputable looking, one should either go to a professional or have a maid rub in the oil. To manage it best divide the hair into strands and drop the oil on the scalp with a medicine dropper, then rub it well in, guarding the long hair. Repeat this until every spot on the scalp has been treated. As with the best care petroleum shows on the hair until it evaporates, it should be applied at night. Be sure to work far enough from the flame to be out of danger, as the oil is very inflammable. A towel should be placed on the pillow, as the oil makes a stain. Should one's hair be naturally oily, the oil treatment should only be used a day or two before the head is to be shampooed, as the grease will not be absorbed readily. Two-Part Skirts. The prevailing fashion of the day is to have a skirt of two materials harmonizing in tone. There is a plaited or circular lower part and a washerwoman's tunic in any form one desires for the upper part. This may be turned up at the hem and attached to the lower skirt with buttons and braid buttonholes, when the material is of rough cloth; or it may be left plain, cut in battements. Some of the soft house fabrics are merely twisted into a graceful roll at the joining of the two fabrics, and in other frocks one sees a wide scalop overcast with floss in a buttonhole attitch. In walking frocks there is a long knee yoke of plain serge or chevlet, and below this a flounce of narrow plaits of plaid chevlet. When there is not a straight around yoke, there is a long wide front panel that is shaped up at the sides and rounded at the back. The Embroidered Initial. Many beautiful monograms are made within a circle, a square, an oblong shape, an oval or within a leaf form; and it is frequent in these late and most beautiful lettering devices to find the backgrounds filled in with darned work, with seedstitch, with basket weave or some small lattice pattern. This method is intended to throw the letters into relief, at the same time that it renders the initial more graceful and beautiful. below the slits nine buttons are sown; they are covered with satin to match. Two folds of material entirely edge the coat and the armholes. Materials required: 5½ yards satin, 1½ dozen buttons, five yards satin for lining. Simple Evening Dress for Girl of 11 to 16 Years—Shell-pink edienne makes up well in this style; the band, which is carried round top of deep flounce, and the panel up in front, also the berthe, are of piece lace, bound with pink silk. The slightly full bodice has the upper part of finely tucked white chiffon, a tucker drawn up by pink baby ribbon, finishing the edge. The sleeves are tucked at the lower part and are finished by narrow lace and pink ribbon. Materials required: Six yards 42 inches wide, 2½ yards piece lace, ½ yard tucked chiffon 20 inches wide. DIFFER AS TO YOKE STYLES Artist Designers Show Disposition to Reject the Round Neck Now Called For. It is a question whether the round neck will be accepted. It is the fashionable line for house gowns. The usual net or chiffon gulpe that is now put in everything ends in a circle below the collar-bone. It is a change from the V and the square, the U and the wedge, but is it pretty? There are artist designers who will not accept it. They persuade a customer out of it. They do not consider it artistic nor desirable. They think it hardens the line of the neck, and is not becoming to the face. They think the V is the most becoming of all, whether for a simple dinner gown or an elaborate ball gown. It looks as though each woman will be her own judge. The French models show the round neck. Those who are stylish will follow this line, but those who are individual will do what is most becoming. This question is no longer a simple one, in view of the fact that all gowns except those for the street are collarless. With silver ribbon and a cluster of edelweiss with silver leaves. Fan Novelty. The new fans are all quite short, most of them not larger than seven or eight inches. Many are of mote, closely spangled, with handsome chased gold, ivory or tortoise shell sticks. Spangled gauze is also much seen on these modified empire fans. One of the novelties of the season is a fan that when closed shows masses of flowers at the top of sticks to resemble a small bouquet. When opened the fan is closely covered with flower petals of tiny flowers and foliage so that none of the silk background shows. Roses are the favorite for the floral fan, but carnations, orchids, iris and poppies are also seen. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. THE AWFUL GURSE ON WHITE SOUTH A LEADING WHITE EDITOR OF THAT SECTION PROTESTS STRONGLY. IS AGAINST LYNCH-MURDERI A Remarkable Editorial, Especially Since It Comes Out of the South — "The Curse that Bloats and Hurts the Progress of that Part of the Country." The Charlotte (N. C.) Daily Observer of recent date has the most remarkable editorial under the caption, "The Curse on the South," that ever appeared in a southern newspaper, and that seldom appears in any northern newspaper. The author whimpering compliance with every morbid public sentiment, it is refreshing to come across an editorial where in some great soul has taken pains to express its uttermost thought on a most fearsome public evil. The killing of Negroes in the south with impunity has much a matter of course, that one is started to even think that a southern white man could believe it to be any thing but right. We hear so much nowadays about "our traditions" that we wonder what kind of skeleton or prophied consciences may be covered when we find to answer, to find an editor, a southerner at that, who directs to break through his "traditional" hedges and speak so clearly and conscientiously as a God-fearing man. It is a sign that the great Avenger intends to avert the storm, tilt with from the south before the fall of England is fall, we leave you to judge. The editorial follows: "In Georgia the other day a Negro preacher was burned alive at the stake for killing a white man. He had not killed with malice or predestination, but because the white man in an automobile crowded his wagon team insolently and dangerously. There were many other men and main facts. If the white man had killed the Negro under similar circumstances he would never have been indicted or molested in any way. If he had killed another white man he would probably have been tried, as a matter of form—though it is conceivable that some bitch would occur if the Negro had been released ceased influential: If the Negro had killed another Negro he would probably have been sent to recruit the convict camp on general principles. What took place when the Negro killed a white man, the story shows. We most gladiately recognize this as an extreme case of mob savagery, but beyond question unwritten law in the south at all. Negro to kill a white man under well ally any circumstances conceivable. "At Bamberg, S. C., some days ago, a Negro was tried for killing W. B. Causey, clerk of the court of Hampton county. It appeared that Causey and two other men had gone to the Negro's for an immoral purpose. Their first step was to get him out of the way. He, one-legged and matined in black, was caught and could, but they dragged him out and began beating him severely. Then he fired with fatal results. This was the story fold, not only by the Negro, but by Causey himself in a dying statement. Causey expressed the hope that the Negro would go unpunished. The only conflicting testimony came from one of Causey's companions, who said he saved his life if not his reputation, save that the shooting was improvised. As the fact of a trial shows, the Negro escaped lynching. He was not even legally executed, for the jury recommended mercy and he got off with life imprisonment. But if three Negroes had behaved at the very humbest or most horrible stage, three white men did at a Negro's home they would have been lynched in precisely the time it took to run them down and catch them. "Not long ago we remarked upon the case of four white men who beat a harmless Negro boy until he seemed to be dying and then finished him with a pistol shot. They were acquitted. We touch for the first time upon an acquittal and then displeased and cut to death a Negro youth whom they suspected of stealing a calf. It occurred to them afterwards that the annoyance of trial and acquittal, otherwise probably could be safely avoided by a very simple device. They procured a rope and strung up the body. Thus the murder attained the dignity of a lynching and was protected by the unwritten law of the land—it would hardly be possible. The murderers enjoyed the complete escape from annoyance which their insight deserved. "These are exceptional cases, but the conditions out of which they naturally grow prevail far and wide. Generally speaking, it may be said that the Negro gets justice in the courts except when he has been convicted of a crime in which a Negro Murder, often called the white man's safest crime; is dangerous enough for the Negro. And right here let us lay down a proposition emphatically. It has been urged, as an objection to the disfranchisement amendments or as an argument for compulsory education along with them, that by exempting all whites from the educational qualifications required to go an education while illiterate whites are given cause to remain content with illiteracy. This content deserves much weight; on account of it. The Observer has expressed satisfaction that hereafter white boys coming of age in North Carolina will not escape the educational test unless by connivance. But really more important is the presence of law places upon the Negro to behave properly while it encourages crime in the white man. South Carolina whites though outnumbered by Negroes more than three to two, commit very much the greater actual number of homicides. We have no definite information on this point for other southern states, but would not be surprised to learn that similar conditions prevail in any or all. Certainly resistant strains upon lawess white men can not continue indefinitely without causing important results wherever they may obtain. The south suffers to-day from habits which originated with the reconstruction era and have grown worse instead of dying out since; many years ago, the last excuse of them vanished. At times there are manifestations in the north—hargely, worse instead of dying out since; example from the south. The white man is in danger of letting his relations with the Negro brutalize him; although their relations have caused him to replace his ancestors profound reverence for law with almost incredible lawlessness. First of all he should so eliminate the jury-packing features, etc. from his relations, which are certainly included white men less bold. Lawyers, in particular, should seek the repeal of legislation whose existence and whose youth cast discredit upon their honorable profession. Against lawlessness and racial injustice every citizen who believes in the moral government of the country should believe that things like those which have just been saying are bitterly unpleasant to us, for example, but situation is impossible. The curse which blots and hurts the bright face of southern progress must be fought to its better end. Durham (N. C.), Reformer. A LITTLE REAL CHRISTIANITY Preached by a White Clergyman—His "Radical" Views Are.Right. Too. Philadelphia, Pa. "If the mingling of colored children with white in the schools means intermarriage of the races eventually, as some promiscuous clergymen in the city have intimated, then it is better that we be true than false to the golden rule—that is, intermarry," said Rev E. F. Randolph, pastor of Trinity Methodist Episcopal church, recently, in his sermon on "The Golden Rule Applied to the Colored Race." "We must learn to put first what God has put there, not race, nor color, but character," he added. "Aversion to the colored man is a modern, not an ancient, attitude, and one which has grown out of slavery." He continued. "The missionary Europe and helped them up to manhood. But the Anglo-Saxon turns to the child races of Africa and outcasts to make out of the black man a beast. Then we say that the black man is an inferior man. Who made him so? Was it not the white man? Yes, the black man today is what the white man made, made of his own handwork the blame is the white man, not the black. The reaction of slavery acted on the white man. The civil war liberated the colored man from physical bondage but failed to liberate the white man from the slavery of his ideas and feelings. The woman who refuses to sit besiege a colored girl in slavery—made a behalf of view of slavery—a white shave—bound by shashish ideas and notions. It was a bitter pill for the man who thought that woman was an inferior creature when Christianity proclaimed her equality and likewise a bitter pill for the kings and lords when the equality of the laborer was proclaimed. It may be a bitter pill for the American man. It is a proclaimed laborer is proclaimed. There must be colored equality at the ballot box, at the bestiness counter, in the street car, and in the school room. "Ged forbid," he concluded: "that the Methodism of the north and south should be unified, if that union is purchased by the burglar of Christian ideas." MERITED PRAISE FOR PAT. FORD. Editor of The Irish World—A Splendid Family Record—Georgia Lynching Condemned—Newspapers Criticised. Portland, Ore., Dec. 27, 1569. Editor Gazette -迟宝, Sir: "The Irish World," of December 11 just came to hand and on its editorial page is a strong denouncement of the murder of that helpless colored preacher by a Georgia mob highly. He heads his editorial "Twentieth Century Savagey," and gives nearly a column of space to denounce it and the newspapers, both north and south, for not condemning it. I was so pleased to see it, for there is not in all the length and breadth of the land, the equal of Patrick Ford, the editor of the paper, as a fighter for any cause he espouses. Moreover, the readers of "The Irish World" are almost without exception, devoted admirers of the man he heats at all times. What he condemns they condemn, and stand ready to back up their opinion in every way. I have no knowledge how many subscribers he has, but they must number hundreds of thousands, as they are scattered all over the Union, wherever you find Irish people. He is an old Union soldier. In meet, all the men he lives with, are soldiers. His father fell at Aitandem, one brother went down on the "Cumberland" at Hampton Roads, and one fell in West Virginia. He himself was a prisoner for many months in Libyx Prison and his only remaining brother fought till the end of the war. Pretty good family record, isn't it? He led the Irish revolt from the Democratic party to Blaine in 84 and has supported the Republic ever since. Yet he condemns the murder of the man he heats needed, and he is one man on whom Roosevelt did not dare pour out the torrent of "billingsgate" he usually let flow on anyone who critiques him. I am writing this because the Afro-Americans have not so many friends that they should fail to know of each one, and this friend is one well worth having. MRS. PATRICIA ROBISON.

DuBois of Atlanta university, in a recent communication to a Philadelphia daily newspaper, said: "The Negro was freed and turned loose (47 years ago today) as a pennless, landless, naked, ignorant laborer. Naked, ignorant laborer, race were field-hands and servants of the lowest class. Today 50 per cent are farm laborers and servants; over half of these are working as efficient modern workmen under a wage contract. "Above these have risen, 75,000 farmers, 70,000 teamsters, 20,000 railway employees, 20,000 sawmill employees, 28,000 porters, 21,000 teachers, 21,000 carpenters, 20,000 barbers, 20,000 nurses, 15,000 clergymen, 14,000 masons, 21,000 dressmakers and seamstresses, 10,000 engineers and firemen, 10,000 blacksmiths, 2,500 physicians, and, above all, 2,000,000 mistresses of independent and 3,000,000 children in school." "Fifty years ago these people were not only practically penniless, but were themselves assessed as real estate. In 1890 they owned nearly 200,000 homes, and among these about 250,000 farms, or more than one-fifth of those they cultivate, with 15,000,000 acres of farm land, worth about $200,000,000. As owners and renters of farms they control 40,000,000 acres, worth over $500,000,000, with a gross income of $250,000,000. "Negroes today conduct every seventh farm in the land and raise every sixteenth dollar's worth of crops. They have accumulated at least $900,000,000 worth of property in a half century ago, and holding that grocro is an important part of the American government; he holds 8,352 offices in the executive civil service of the nation, besides furnishing four regiments in the army and a large number of sailors. In the state and municipal offices, he holds at least 10,000 other offices, and 70,000 of the 900,000 votes which rule the great states of the north and west. "In these same years the Negro has re-learned the lost art of organization. Slavery was the absolute denial of initiative and responsibility. Today Negroes have 55,000 church offices and nearly 4,000,000 members. They raise themselves $7,500,000 a year for these churches. "There are 250 private schools and colleges managed and almost entirely supported by Negroes, and other public and private Negro schools have received money in taxes and donations. Five millions a year is raised by Negro secret and beneficial societies, which hold at least $6,000,000 in real estate. Negroes support wholly or in part over 60 old folks' homes and orphanages, 20 hospitals and 500 counteries. 20 hospitals and 500 counteries are extending rapidly and all branches of the smaller retail businesses and 40 banks." WILL NOT SING "COON" SONGS. Students of Howard University Very Proportion against the President's Order Washington, D. C.—A threatened revolt among the students at Howard university against the president of the institution. Dr. Thirkield, because he persisted in requiring them to sing old time plaintion "coon" songs and "religious rags," has stirred up our prosecution. He ordered a lecture four minutes long urging the students to enter into the spirit of the exercises he had prescribed. He justified his action on the ground that it was well for Negro students to keep alive the traditions of their ancestors and emulate their spirit of contentment and happiness expressed in the movies of before the war. Some of the students resent the revival of the antebellum spirit and have agreed to stand mute when the "Prey" calls for the rendition of plantation melodies. The critics of Dr. Thirkield say that he calls for the ragnarok to enter the visitors. On the occasion of a visit recently by a government officer the president's effort to start an old time "coon" song failed because nearly all the students would not sing! Dr. Thirkield was embarrassed and later lectured the students. Dr. Booker Washington was his first insense in the institution. Thirkield has the skills of others. He has this minstrel business done at Tuskegee to "please white folks." Howard's students are right and should stand firm. Succeeds Ousted Sheriff. Cairo, Ill.—Fred D.

Rabbi Lyons of New York City, in a recent address to our people there, said among other things: "If I were a Negro, it would not matter how much I earned, I would live within my income, I would do something for the rainy day. For as the world goes today, the man who has nothing is lightly esteemed." And Rabbi Lyons is right! The cartoon in the dirty Cleveland News of Monday pictured cruel ex President Zelaya of Nicaragua as a black man. Another of its dirty, contemptible and malicious tricks. Don't buy the miserable Negro-hating sheet. The same paper of that. date announced the appointment of "Noomdy" he of the alabaster brow (nwt), etc., to position himself as the chief city auditor. The News portrait of him ("Noomdy") was rieh. It was difficult to "decipher." Congratulations, just the same, "Noomdy." --- President Taft's "new southern policy" has resulted in an increased number of lynch-murders this year. The total number will aggregate about ninety by to-day. It was to be expected. He long ago notified the prejudiced white south that it could do about as it pleased with the Negro, and it certainly has taken full advantage of his notification and alleged conciliatory policy. "Twice ever thus. The Taft administration has done the coward Hayes administration, from this particular standpoint, and the latter remained the "limit" up to March 4 last. : The Chicago Examiner correspondent at Brussels announces "that not a woman followed King Leopold of Belgium to his gravest." That is a condemnation, if ever there was one! However, the "spirit" (2) of Leopold, the unspeakable, may console itself, for the "Associated Press" announced that the president of the United States American religion, to-wit,] William Howard Taft, the "Pacificator," "attended a pompous high mass at the Catholic church of Washington, D. C.," which was performed for the soul (2) of the late king. What a comment these two news-items contain! How instructive they both are to thinking people! The "Associated Press" does not forget to add at the end of its dispatch, "that the officiating priest pronounced the resolution of the mass," the solution seems absolutely necessary in this case—both to the dead object, if it can still reach that, and to the attending living subjects, who need it surely indeed. May it be as effective as it is—necessary. According to an "Associated Press" dispatch to the daily papers of the country, on Monday, from Lawrence, Kansas: "Haskell institute, valued at $75,000, is the only institution in the United States, is to be offered to the state of Kansas as a site for the establishment of a day trade school, according to an announcement made by the state's commissioner. Peiraa, who has just been appointed supervisor of Indian schools, said he had discussed the matter with R. G. Valentine, United States commissioner of education, who favored the proposition. The Kansas legislature, it is stated, will be asked to appropriate money for maintenance and then allow white students to enroll at the institution without further delay." Will the thousands of Afro-American tax-payers, of Kansas and the entire country, all of whom aid in the maintenance of all government schools, sit supinely by and see such a thing as the above dispatch disclosures, come to pass, without making the least united effort to head it off, or to see to it that the school, as a state institution, is open to students of all classes of citizens and not only to "whites"? We shall see. WE ARE NOT QUILTY! When Afro-American *Republican* *spellbinders* were touring Ohio, during the presidential campaign of 1908, the burden of their argument was to challenge the president's supreme court from being dominated by prejudiced southerners.

Some of the most effective inpilf movements in history began with raising the devil, and who, after all, needs raising more?-Puck. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 1, 1910. THE GOVERNOR WILL BE HELD RESPOND: SIBLE. "Replying to your letter regarding separate cottage occupancy by colored and white children, I beg to advise you that to the knowledge of this offence, the court of the district criminalization of treatment. We understand that separate cottage occupancy was begun two years ago at one institution and that there and in other places it was done for no purpose and that the court of the concerned." Gov. Harmon's secretary. This is not so, and Mr. Long ought to know it. Supt. Edward Sawyer of the O. S. & S. O. Home at Xenin, inaugurated segregation at that institution several months ago, and has maintained it in spite of the protests of our people from all parts of the state, and, in the face of the refusal of the Republican members of the council to indorse it—so one of them told the editor of The Gazette in recent weeks. Another Republican member of the some board made public protest (in newspapers) against Col. Sawyer's outrageous, insulting and shameful segregation in a STATE institution. Now comes one, S. D. Webb of Delaware, who follows the O. S. & S. O. Home segregation—lead, and establishes disgraceful "discrimination in the STATE Girls' Industrial Home in Delaware," to force through his secretary to make it appear that his administration is not responsible for this iniquitous and outrageous segregation—discrimination against our people only, in STATE institutions, will not and shall not succeed. More than that the more than forty thousand "Afro-American voters of Ohio," will hold him responsible for it and square accounts with him at the next state election just so surely as there is a God in heaven, unless he orders the immediate discontinuance of segregation—discrimination at Xenla and Delaware. We have protested to him long enough! He and every other intelligent man knows that the PRINCIPLE of segregation in STATE institutions for any class of Ohio's residents (citizens) is WRONG and will not be. tolerated. Our children in the institutions at Xenia and Delaware, are not criminals, nor any worse than the Irish, German, Bohlenman and who are not segregated. Governor, we will not submit to such contemptible treatment at your hands without a protest at the polls next November that will most materially assist in defeating you and putting the Democratic presidential nomination aspirations to sleep. Without the thousands of Afro-American votes given to you last year, you never could. Without them, next year, the Republican plurality in Ohio will be as usual, one hundred thousand or more. Had President Taft had their united support, he, too, would have had the usual Republican plurality of late years. We very much fear that Gov. Harmon's close political friend and visitor of some months ago, Senator Ben. Tillman of South Carolina, has had something to do with the segregation innovation in its introducing the institutional institutes. For several months now, The Gazette and the best of our people of this state, have demanded the abolition of this unjust, unfair and outrageous discrimination. Will Mr. Harmon heed? We shall see. A SEGREGATION PROTEST. The following letter was sent to Gov. Harmon to be read by him and then forwarded to Mr. Webb at Delaware and a copy of it was mailed to Mr. Webb at Delaware: December 15, 1909. S. D. Webb, Care Girls' Home, Industrial Delaware, Ohio Dear Sir; Just a line to tell you that you have put another, nail on the political coffin of Gov. Harmon if he ever stands again for governor of Ohio, or any other state office, just so securely as your outrageous segregation of the Afro-American girls at the Delaware State Home for Girls is not abandoned promptly. You know the principle of such action is wrong, in the sense that some few ignorant, syphilistic, selfish or short-sighted Negroes indorse such a "move," does not make it right in principle; nor will it excuse the governor, who is responsible and will be held responsible for your reprehensible action, referred to above, and that repeatedly complained of (to him) at the O. S. & S. O. Home at Xenla, which you are doubtless making the mistake of not knowing nothing you can do at the present time that will enable Gov. Harmon to give greater offense to the great masses of self and race-respecting Ohio Afro-Americans, at least fairly intelligent and thousands of others who are not, than segregating as you are, in a state institution. Why are not the Irish German and other schools YOU ARE NOT DO IT! Must we teach that we ARE SREPRESENT for our class, to you and others, at the next state election? We will surely do it if you persist in making it necessary. AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY.

PATTERSON DEC 31 To morrow another year begins. To night is the time of all times to plan for the future. To resolve; to forswear our petty vices; to lay aside the civils in our lives. Have you, John, considered what ought means to you, and to me? Have you thought of the things I have gone without, and might have had but for your extravagance? Have you counted the cost to yoy, and to me, of your so-called pleasures? You sit there smoking a vile weed, but have you thought of the gowns you have burned up within a year? I venture to say no. Let's talk it over. John, just you and L, and as the old year dies plan for better and more public things in the year to come. Said Mr. A to Mrs. A on Dec. 51: Your sentiments, my dear, are noble or approval. We will plan to night for the year not the year alone, but years. We will study that mean a better and truer life for you and little things we might improve upon. So man to spend the small sums we now but throw a novel you are reading would have purchased need. Now let's begin by my giving up eig but vile weeds, and yen your novels, which an of trash and twaddle. Your sentiments, my dear, are noble ones, and meet with my approval. We will plan to night for the year that is to come. Yes, not the year alone, but years. We will study and solve the problems that mean a better and truer life for you and me. There are many little things we might improve upon. So many better ways in which to spend the small sums we now hit throw away. The price of that novel you are reading would have purchased the slippers I so badly need. Now let's begin by my giving up cigars, which I agree are but vile weeds, and you your novels, which are but the cheapest kind of trash and twaddle. Said Mrs. A to Mr. A on Dec. 51:— With all the many vices with which you in that you might overlook the one small pleasure admit there are more elevating books than pam I to give up any only pleasure, the one she get my wite me enjoyment? Do you, Jo of me this sacrifice that you might have the she not need? Your vices are so great beside my mean'all that you say about planning for the your club? It is but another of the many you incur year after year. With all the many vices with which you indulge yourself, it seems that you might overlook the one small pleasure which I have. Yes, I admit there are more elevating books than present-day novels. But am I to give up any only pleasure, the one small thing from which I get my wye mite of enjoyment? Do you, John, think it fair to ask of me this sacrifice that you might have the slippers you certainly do not need? Your vices are so great beside my small one. If you really mean all that you say about planning for the future, why not give up your club? It is but another of the many needless expenses which you inear year after year. Said Mr. A to Mrs. A on Dec. 31:— That's right, and I'm glad you mentioned it. I had not thought of it before. That will be money saved. Now I propose a bargain, and it's fair. My resignation from the club will go in to-night if you will join me in the good work and mail to-night your withdrawal from the bridge club or class or whatever you may call it. A good deed is always better when it's doubled, and that will be two good deeds accomplished, two savings made, instead of one. What say you, my dear; will you join me in turning over this new leaf with the opening of a new year? The question is entirely needless, for I know, of course, that you will. That's right, and I'm glad you mentioned of it before. That will be money saved. No, and it's fair. My resignation from the club we will join me in the good work and mail to night- the bridge club or class or whatever you may is always better when it's doubled, and that I accomplished, two savings made, instead of on dear; will you join me in turning over this new of a new year? The question is entirely ne course, that you will. Said Mrs. A to Mr. A on Dec. 51:- You certainly can be horrid upon this day when you should look back upon the things you robbed me of during the year just closing. I be ashamed to sit there and point to my few sn they were vices from which I should escape enough in life for me without being deprived intercourse. But if I must, I must, and if the pleasures will put a stop to your many vices them on the altar of noble and obedient witch did not think you would ask it. (Tears.) You certainly can be horrid upon this one night of all nights when you should book back upon the things which you have needlessly robbed me of during the year just closing. I should think you would be ashamed to sit there and point to my few small pleasures as though they were vices from which I should escape. There is certainly little enough in life for me without being deprived of books and social intercourse. But if I must, I must, and if the sacrifice of my innocent pleasures will put a stop to your many vices I presume I must offer them on the altar of noisie and objectionable witchhood. But, oh, John, I did not think you would ask it. (Tears.) Said Mr. A to Mrs. A on Dec. 31:— Now, wife, don't cry. I am a brite and an awed and this over. Let's see if we have one's or others. Let's see if our so-called vices are which we are entitled. I think they are. I see of nothing to swear off. I will keep my cigars. I'll keep my club and you your bridge game, slippers go hang if need be, and enjoy ourselves isn't it, my dear? That meets with your approw will greet the coming year with joy and not witions. Resolved by Mr. A and Mrs. A on Dec. During the next year and the years to foll as we have lived them. We will enjoy to the ures. We will make no new resolutions while and break. We will not ask either of us iron each is not willing to give to the other, and I come. Now, wife, don't cry. I am a brute and I admit it. Let's start anew and talk this over. Let's see if we have slinned against ourselves or others. Let's see if our so-called vices are not more pleasures to which we are entitled. I think they are. I see nothing we need repent of; nothing to swear off. I'll keep my cigars and you your novels. I'll keep my club and you your bridge game. We'll let gowns and slippers go hang if need be, and enjoy ourselves. Now, that is better, isn't it, my dear? That meets with your approval, I am sure, and we will greet the coming year with joy and not with tears and lamentations. Resolved by Mr. A and Mrs. A on Dec. 31:- During the next year and the years to follow we will live our lives as we have lived them. We will enjoy to the full our several pleasures. We will make no new resolutions which we will later regret and break. We will not ask either of us from the other that which each is not willing to give to the other, and now let the New Year come. Dated 12 o'clock, midnight, December 31. NEW YEAR MESSAGE--- "BE NOT AFRAID" MESSAGE--- NOT AFRAID" --- had taught us no lessons in quietness. So often the trials we feared were unreal, the passages which looked dark were lighted by some glimmer of hope, there was a path across the desert and we had to climb a trellis, we have come to no mountain, too high to climb. Some care and crosses have become quite familiar to us and we have some bleaks which nothing else could have brought us we have seen certain divine truths which only they could have illuminated. If we were asked we should answer, we have the trouble and the blessing together to go without them both. Therefore, let us take heart again, and let the New Year call be one of cheer. All is well—"be not afraid." --- At the beginning of a New Year we can receive no better message than the old one: "Fear not, for I am with three." It has come to us and made us strong and unafraid, many times before. We have been the comfort of it. Do we not need for our equipment a fresh accession of courage? Fear is a paralyzing thing. We may be shaken by many storms which do not wreck us, but a storm of play plays and havoc with all our forces. That there is nothing to be afraid of is a fact difficult for ever. We have been so afraid, as it ought to be, to the old than to the young. So many times we have been frightened.

Among the recent outputs of the national Baptist publishing board in the way of Sunday school helps is the national Baptist Sunday school lesson commentary. This book is in its seventh volume and is published annually by this concern, being edited by Dr. R. H. Royd, secretary, national Baptist publishing board, with Rev. W. S. Ellington, associate editor. The book for the national Baptist schools is reaching users for the Sunday school workers. Both editor and associate editor have made it what cannot be claimed for other, commentaries—strictly orthodox and purely baptistic. The splendid feature is that each lesson has both the authorized and revised texts. It is suggestive, illustrative and fully comprehensive. In getting out such a book, the Negro Baptists have demonstrated what Negroes can do in the literary work with the lessons and commentaries in schools. The commentary contains the lessons and motto texts for 1911, which really puts the book 12 months in advance. All of the work done on this periodical is by Negroes who are now past masters in their professions. Mrs. Wm. Clifford, sr., one of our eldest and most highly respected residents, died the first of the week, after quite an illness, leaving two sons. John and William, other relatives and a host of friends to mourn her demise. Mrs. Clifford was a grand mother and Christian woman, and her death removes one of the best women of the race. Her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wm. H. Clifford, of Washington, D. C., was in attendance upon her for some days previous to the end. Funeral Thursday afternoon from St. John's church, Rev. Dr. J. M. Glimmer officiating in the absence of the pastor, Rev. Ira A. Collins, who was ill. While unstified praise is due both sons for their dutiful loyalty to their mother, we cannot fall at this time, in justice to ourselves and "Faithful John"—good, old, standby John Clifford—to call especial attention to his extreme loyalty. For over twenty years has he remained single, to "cling to mother" and help provide her every want. Here is a precedent that our young people should have called to their attention early and late that they may be encouraged to take better care of their parents when necessary and have more and better respect for the aged whether relatives or not. The Forest Street Poller Rink was gully decorated last Friday afternoon with flags and lanterns. In the center was placed a mammoth Christmas tree twenty-four feet high and forty feet around, which was decked with presents for the night. Prizes were given to the electric lights were turned on. Every child received three presents; each getting a toy, some useful article of wearing apparel and a bag of candy and nuts. A feature of the entertainment was the writing contest participated in by fifty children between the ages of 11, 15, 20 and 25 cents were donated to the best four writers by Peter Carroll. The first prize went to Albert Stokes, the second to Arthur Morris, the third to Grady Smith and the fourth to Minnie Williams. W. H. Elson, superintendent of schools, acted as judge of the contest. The children were given a lunchbox of ice cream and cake. Then Santa Claus appeared. His coming was the signal for great excitement. It was the first affair of the kind ever given in this city by our people and was so successful that a similar party may be given every year. The children enjoyed the afternoon from lunchon hour until Santa Claus and given out the last present to the youngsters. There will be positions during the census taking in Cleveland for many more enumerators than have yet applied for the positions. Surviser M. M. Curtis finds that he will need 400 men and women to complete the census in the specified time and 250 applicants that will be available. Politics is not considered in selecting help. Surviser Curtis is especially anxious to get men who have helped take the census in former years; as the experience will make them more valuable to the service. There is no age limit, the appointment of the enumerators being left wholly with the supervisor. No man is too young or too old if he is alert, active, intelligent and good at job duties. Count for much, applicants are required to give references, and business references make more of an impression with Supervisor Curtis than political references do. No application blank is furnished by the department, and applicants must write the supervisor a letter, stating age, experience and give a few references. Those who call at the supervisor's office, No. 234, the Arcade, are required to write the letter of application. A number of applications are being received every day, but Supervisor Curtis says that there is room for many more of the right kind. Those best qualified will be selected from among all the applicants. It is not expected that the 400 enumerators will be appointed before February 1. Work upon the census starts April 1.

Monday evening will be long remembered by the children of St. James' Sunday school, for the fine banquet given them by the superintendent, teachers and officers of the same. The church was beautifully decorated with the famous colors, but the most beautiful sight, the 22 little tots seated at a table (especially arranged for them) with their teacher, Miss Letha Owens. These little folk, ranging from 3 to 6 years of age, forgot some of their banquet etiquette and kept the waiters taking the good things. Mrs. Hanny's T. John and Mr. Brooks' classes were seated together. These youngsters understood thoroughly that the banquet was for them and that plenty of good things were on hand. They did not make speeches or give toasts, but "O, noises." The adult classes—Messas, F. John, T. John, George Fields' and Rev. Fortes' were seated together. The "grown-ups" forgot their ages and enjoyed themselves as did the children. The menu: Reasted chicken, mashed potatoes, peas, cranberry sauce, baked beans, celery, ice cream, cake and fruit. Mrs. T. Jerry, assisted by the church ladies, Obadiah Harris did the serving, and it was excellent. Mrs. Hattie Carroll, "the children's friend," furnished the baked beans and ice cream. The church and Sunday school return many thanks to her and other members and friends who contributed to the success of the credit is due to the successful superintendent, Mr. Martin Farmer, for this excellent treat.

When she saw it she thought her eyes were deceiving her, but she soon perceived that the pumpkin moved a little way, stopped and then turned in another direction. She watched this object for some time and told one of her neighbors. The mystery was solved, but the two women did not dare to go nearer the moving vegetable, but called a man who knocked the pumpkin over and found a polecat. The skunk had crawled under the pumpkin and stuck his head into a hole in it and was unable to extricate himself from it and had walked off as he best could with the pumpkin on his back.—Lewiston Journal.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 1, 1910. SLAYS GIRL AND SELF DOUBLE TRAGEDY. IN HOTEL DINING ROOM. Man Left Wife and Stole Money from Restraurant to Reach Side of His Sweetheart. Pern, Ind.—A carefully laid plan of a lovesick and discouraged man, involving robbery, murder and suicide, culminated here in the slaying of Miss Dora Chnpell, 21 years old, a waitress in the dining room of the Bearss hotel, by Roy McKinney, who then committed suicide. It was at the neon, meal that McKinney put his arm about the girl as she was waiting on him. To those who saw it the action appeared one of affection—a carcass. A shot rang out and the girl fell dead, a bullet through her heart. With one arm McKinney had drawn the girl to him—with the other hand he killed her. As the girl slipped to the floor McKinney shot himself in the heart. According to advices from Indianapolis, McKinney entered a lunchroom there the day before and rifted the cash register while he covered the man behind counter with a gun. Letters found in the dead man's pocket indicate that the hold up and crimes were planned. It is thought that McKinney committed the robbery to get money to come to Peru. The letters were addressed to the coroner, the girl's father, Frank Chapelle of Peru, and to McKinney's wife at East Germantown, Ind. In the letter to the coroner McKinney first directed that his body be sent to a medical college, and then added: "I left my first wife because she was not true to me. I left my second wife last March. On March 18, 1909, I met Dora Chapell and went with her two months, at the end of which time I found that she was the only girl for me. I could not leave the girl I loved. Several days ago the girl I either went to Indianapolis and then Dora to Peru. It was impossible for me to forget her, so I came to Peru. I asked her to go to the theatre with me, but she had other arrangements. I could not sleep and God only knows life has been a ----. May God help Dora and pity on me." THOUSANDS SENT TO JAIL Of Every 10,000 of Population 582 Are Arrested Each Year According to Census Bureau Figures. Washington, D. C.—There are 582 persons out of every 10,000 of population arrested and lodged in jail each year, according to census bureau figures just made public. The figures which are based on an investigation on conditions in the 158 largest cities of the United States during 1907, show also that 35 per cent of all arrests are made for drunkenness. The city of Washington leads in proportion of arrests in relation to its population, but the report says the number of 'arrests' is by no means an indication of the lawlessness of a city, but rather of a varying local laws and conditions and also the activity of the police department. All cities of more than 30,000 population were investigated and grouped according to their size. The results show that the largest city does not have greatest number of arrests. JAIL STEAMER'S HEAD WAITER Detroit, Mich.—For 20 years a head waiter and trusted employee on D. & C. boats, Ben Stewart, a negro is under arrest, charged with the theft of table linen and towels from D. & C. boats. Detective Parker went to Windsor to bring Stewart across the river to stand trial. Stewart, D. & C. officials* say, has had trouble with his wife and served a term in jail on her complaint. The thefts from the boats, it is charged, were traced to him and it was learned, the police say, that he had been taking linen home, piece by piece, for a long time. CALLS DOCTORS GRASPING Department Chief Asserts They. Prolong Illness of Patients Just to Get More Money. Philadelphia, Pa. — Charges that some physicians in this city deliberately prolong the period, of illness of patients in order to increase their income are made by Dr. Joseph S. Neff, director of the department of health and charities, who offers this reason for the increase in diphtheria for the present year, while all other preventable diseases' show a decrease. Dr. Neff said he has the proofs that antiticin is not administered in either curative or preventive doses by certain physicians, because its use reduces the number of visits the physician is required to make. Boiler Lets Go: Five Dead. Reading, Pa.—Five men were instantly killed by the explosion of a boiler at the new plant of the Metropolitan Electric Co. in West Reading. The night watchman had just left the plant and the day force had arrived when the boiler exploded. All in the immediate vicinity met instant death. The men were thrown several hundred feet from the boiler house. Martin's body was blown over a high tree and was found lying along the Pennsylvania railroad tracks 200 feet from the scene of the explosion. French Deputies Pass Tariff Bill. Paris, France—The chamber of deputies passed the tariff bill by a vote of 365 to 42 after a protracted discussion. This represents a victory for the higher protectionists and the tariff commission that had practically its own way. The government has not shown its hand except to intervene for the modification of some schedules that were inevitably bound to menace France's foreign trade relations. It is expected that the government will step in at the final moment and offer a conciliatory proposition. DEVELOPMENT OF CENTRAL CANADA DEVELOPMENT OF CENTRAL CANADA THE STORY OF BIG YIELDS OF GRAIN COMES FROM EVERY SECTION. When the man in the States was told that he could get 160 ares of land in Central Canada—comprising the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta—that under cultivation would produce from 20 to 30 bushels of wheat to the acre, or if seeded to oats the yield would be 40 to 60 bushels, he was skeptical. The eâu story was told the man who wished to get nearer to existing lines of railway way, and was only asked to pay $10 to $12 an acre. But many tried it, some one plan and some another. The man who accepted the 160 ares as a free gift, as a homestead, and was willing to put in the required residence duties of three years has now a farm worth from fifteen to twenty dollars an acre. The man who chose to purchase, and did so, took up his residence just the same. He has land, that, in many cases, is worth twice the money he paid for it. Both have found that the story of splendid yields was verified. They have had crops exceeding that promised; they have seen oats that yielded 100 bushels to the acre, and have grown wheat that averaged 40 and as high as 50 bushels to the acre. Their wheat was not a $7 lb. to the bushel article but $2 and $3 lbs. They have seen within the past year or two trunk lines of railway constructed through their district, and throwing out branch lines to the gates of their farm. They have seen schools established in their neighbourhood and the Government contributing largely to their expense. Churches have been erected, villages have been established, towns have sprung into existence and cities are rapidly springing up, as if the magic hand of some unseen conjurer was at work. But it was not; it was the legitimate offering of the wealth of the field which made all these things come about, naturally, and easy. The prairie that three years ago was merely prairie, a patch of brown, just waiting for the ploughman, is today slotted with tilted farms and splendid homes. The line of elevators with their glistening metalized fireproof sides and roofs, indicate the location of the town and the railroad. There is the glow of newness about it all, but the elevator, the splendid store buildings and the comfortable hostelries denote wealth, beyond that of the strength of the man who fashioned and built them but the wealth of the soil; which means that the newness will be followed by a steady growth. The writer recently was a passenger over the Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest factor in this great marvelous field of development. The rapidity with which towns were being built up, the farm-stands occupied, was something even his experienced eye had not looked at. It was where along the line of this new transcontinental was the distinguishing mark of progress. There was not a mile of the length of the road from Winnipeg to Edmonton and west that did not bear taken of its ability to pay tribute to the revenue of the road. Mention is made of this line, not because it is the last in the field, but because it is one of the best built roads on the Continent and traverses one of the best districts of an excellent country. It is well operated, and already has gone into active service as another means of making it possible to secure more speedily transit from the grain fields to the shipping centres. It had been the intention in this article to have spoken of some of the yields of grain that have made the farmers of Central Canada's contented this year, but space will not permit, so that delightful task will be taken up in another issue. In the meantime it would be well for the reader, if he is interested; to put himself in touch with some offeal of the Canadian Government and get information that might be useful in making a selection for a home in Central Canada, and become one of those who will be instrumental in building up a great country to the north. In doing so, you will be assisting the United States. In a few years' time the United States will be a wheat importer. Canada will supply the wheat and you will be one of the producers. THE EARRINGS. He—Lydia, I saw a lovely pair of earrings to-day. She—O, where? I'm all ears. An Artistic Bebuke A well-known clergyman was traveling in a non-smoking compartment of a train going north. As soon as the train was well on its way, the only other occupant, without asking permission of his fellow traveler, coolly lit a cigarette. The reverend gentleman was relieved, as he wanted to smoke himself, but had been afraid lest his companion might object. But the opportunity was too good to be lost. Drawing out his pipe he leaned forward, and, with an ingratiating smile, blandly inquired: "Would you object if I were to smoke?" Cupid's Cynicism. "Is it so, that you used to call regularly on that girl?" "Yes; she always sang a song to me that I loved." "Why didn't you marry,her?" "I found I could buy the song for 60 cents"—The Circle.
