TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR. NO. 27. Separate Blouses CORNER THE separate blouse, when it matches the suit or skirt in color, is a smart and practical addition to the wardrobe, and may be worn on endless occasions. This season it is in high favor, especially if made of net or crinkton over matching silk. Two semi-dressy blouses are CARE OF THE LACE CURTAINS Must Be Handled Gently During Washing Process, or They Will Soon Wear Out. Lace curtains will not bear rubbing. All the work must be done carefully and gently. For two pairs of curtains half fill a large tub with warm water and add to it half a pound of soap, which has been shaved fine and dissolved in two quarts of boiling water; add also a gill of household ammonia. Let the curtains soak in this over night. In the morning soak them well in the water and squeeze it all out, but do not wring the curtains. Put them into another tub of water, prepared with soap and ammonia, as on the night before; sop them gently in the water, and then, after squeezing out the water, put them in a tub of clean warm water. Continue to rinse them in fresh tubs of water until there is no trace of soap; next rinse them in water containing bluing. After pressing out all the water possible spread the curtains over sheets on the grass; or, if you have no grass, put them on the clothes line. When they are dry dip them in hot thick starch and fasten them in the frame that comes for this purpose. If you have no frame fasten a sheet on a mattress and spread the curtains on this, pinning them in such a manner that they will be perfectly smooth and have all the patterns of the border brought out. Place in the sun to dry. If it is desired to have the curtains a light erase shade rinse them in weak coffee, and if you want a dark shade use strong coffee. The Flat Muff. The fat muff, soft and flexible, with ends fully opened, is a favored model, but in order to keep the hands warm on a really cold day it has been necessary to add an extra "bed." One can easily manufacture this article at home, so that if the muff lacks this addition the owner may like to bring it up to date if she is told how to make the pocket. Cut two pieces of silk or satin the length of the muff and of such width that when sewed around in muff shape the "muff" is just large enough to receive the hands. This is slipped into ends at the top. Below the "bed" the muff lies flat. It is really a muff within a muff. An Organdle Bag. Painting the lily is not more delicate work than the improving of organdie, but women who are artists with the needle have done even this. Fancy work bags have been made of this thinness of crisp party dress materials, and each blossom has been first outlined with untwisted silk floss. The prettiest organide bags are made of a large square; the casing describes a huge circle and is an inch wide blas strip of the material. The four corners form a petal-like heading, each point faced with a piece cut to fit it, and on these turned-over pieces of the organdie appears the tracery of gold-colored floss that is to give the final finish. Hip Trimming on Skirts. A few of the plaited models in short walking skirts show a stitched band round the hips. This is not applied in the old-fashioned way, straight around the figure. It is started at the waist line, the ends of the band being together or crossed. They swing down the front of the skirt, around the hips and up toward the belt at back. Hate Oddly Trimmed. A new and more or less eccentric note in millinery is to place the trimming of a hat at the back. Bunches of algrettes, cockades, stiff quills that no self-respecting bird would own and a great panache of feathers rise upstanding at the back of the hat. THE GAZETTE A sketched, the first of olive green tucked net, with a frill and gulpe of cream lace, gold cord, and gold embroidery. The other blouse is old blue tucked chiffon, bralded in matching, soutache and silver, and trimmed with velvet ribbon of much darkor shade. JEWELS FOR EVERY CROWN For those who cannot afford handsome jewelry in precious stones and for those also who want a change from the conventional, there are lovely effects to be worked out in such precious stones as lapis lazuli, light emeralds or amethysts. Costumes matched in such accessory are smartly finished. For instance, one young woman is wearing on the little finger of her right hand a huge silver ring of Greek design, embedded with a very dark cabuchon lapis lazuli. It is used with a navy blue sergeur glass blouse, the black satin belt held at the front by two antique silver buckles. Another instance of original and beautiful jewelry is carried out in the pale emeralds, which are lovely in opaque, light green. The owner wears them as rings, five stones in a row set in Roman gold, and there is a bar pin to match with the stones cut round and set in full relief. With a black gown, embroidered at yoke in green and gold, these trinkets are stunning. Amethysts are lovely with suits or gowns that shade into that color. The golden topaz has come into great favor—Vogue. FOR THE EVENING. The simplicity and charm of this dress makes it most suitable for a young girl; our model was made up in cream bloom silk, and has the bodice and over-skirt both arranged so that they cross over from right to left; the skirt part is edged by a pretty rose-patterned insertion, while the bodice has a lace bertha taken round the top and partly down one side; the little over-sleeves are trimmed to match, and fall over chiffon puffs; the tucker is also of the chiffon, and the under-skirt is closely plaited. Materials required: 8 yards silk 42 inches wide, 5½ yards insertion, 1½ yard chiffon. One Lapel Enough. The single lapel is sufficient unto the day and night for a new long coat. It is faced with beautiful embroidery and weighted down by means of a long tassel at the point. It is extremely large and falls from the chin to the waist in a ripple. At the wearer's wish the lapel may be taken and thrown over one shoulder, so that the tassel part will hang at the back. In front the throat and chest will be cozily covered. It is a charming idea when making a walking or motor coat. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1910. ANOTHER BANK IN ITS OWN HOME!

The bank has an authorized capital of $50,000, with $26,045 paid in. Its president is Henry N. Newoine; cashier, James R. Knox; manager of the real estate department, William J. Robinson; stenographer, Miss Sarah J. Duncan. The bank will do business in its own matters, a three-story brick building, 256 St. Michael street, which the directors recently purchased. Marlon, Ala., although a small town is fortunate in having a number of thrifty, industrious, and well-do business men and farmers. Some of those who are worthy of mention are Messrs. S. Daniel, Gilbert Jones, Charles Smiley, J. H. Key and Gus Mitchell, who are chief businessmen, business, carrying stock any where from $500 to $2,000. The leading merchants, however, are the Childs Bros., who are not only the proprietors of one of the largest groceries in the place, located on the main street in their own building, but they are also confectioners and own the only bakery in town. Twenty-five percent of the latter business, and the sons have continued it ever since, without any competition. They likewise run a truck patch, of two acres, from which they sold $500 worth of plants last spring and $500 worth of cabbages this fall, besides other garden products. Some of the other frugal and well-do businessmen, including Wedgeworth, Summit Anderson, Edward Towns and Orange Benson, who manage from 160 to 150 acres yearly. H. B. Davis is the proprietor of a cafe for whites. It is very popular and patronized. He has been in the business for over 30 years and has made money at it. John Williams is a large businessman, a father, having a great of experience, by means of which he has prospered. William M. Alston has been for over 14 years instructor in the mechanical department of the orphan home for while children, located at Oxford, N. C. "The home is the property of the Grand Lodge of white Manors, and the orphan home appropriately appropriates $1000 for its maintenance annually. There are about 225 pips of both sexes in the orphanage -125 of whom are boys. Mr. Alston teaches the latter how to make soap, doors, blinds, and build a house. He is also the person employed there in such a capacity. More than once efforts have been made to displace him for a white man; but on account of his services being so satisfactory, the authorities of the institution have persistently requested that the petitioners, or to be influenced by the demands of the prejudice. The Silk Manufacturing Co. of Rocky Mount, N. C., incorporated with an authorized capital of $50,000, began business November 15, 1999. It is the only Negro manufacturer in the world on so expensive a plan of operation, the work building with a frontage of 40 feet and a depth of 150. On the first floor is the silk factory; the second and third, cotton; on the fourth, there is an evolution of the raw' material into the finished products, such as overalls, jackets, aprons and the like. The operatives in this factory are two or three hundred boys and girls age seven and eight years, together with a goodly number of young women. The officers of the company are: T. W. Thurston, president; O. J. Pittman, vice president; C. F. Rich, secretary and attorney; S. M. Young, treasurer; F. W. Davies, president of the board. The president and founder, T. W. Thurston, was once manager of the silk mills now in successful operation of the company, which there are from 600 to 700 little colored boys and girls skilfully and carefully' manipulating the delicate skins of silk, as they spin around the thousands of bobblins and pass over hundreds of looms. The owners of these mills are northern men of New Jersey, but they are run on behalf of the Negro community. The cotton mill of Rocky Mount, however, is altogether owned and operated by Negroes. R. L. Kearney of Greenville, N. C. is another member of the race, who has demonstrated the fact, that the Negro can do things like other people. He is the inventor of a patented improvement in plows. It is a boltless combination plow. The work of three plows is accomplished in one, two, and three stages and shares or wings, sweeps and half sweeps of various shapes and sizes, best adapting them to all stages of growing crops. It has also a complete set of castings which constitute it a turning plow with three sizes of wings, the smallest making it suitable for breaking very hard or rough land. All parts are changeable. The position of handles and beam may be changed to suit the requirement. Only the handles are required, and upon these may be fitted any shape or size castings to meet the demand of the work at hand. NATION'S CAPITAL OUTRAGE. How Taft, Your Senators and Congressmen are Robbing Our Children to Educate Others'.... Washington, D. C.—There is an ur- gent need of more schoolhouses and larger schoolhouses for the colored children of the District of Columbia. The accommodations for them at present are so inadequate that many of the children can attend school but half a day, and that is a violation of the laws of education appreciate the situation clearly, and in their estimates to the commissioners they asked for $603,500 for new buildings for colored schools and $1,559,630 for new buildings for white schools, making a total of $2,163,130, of which 28 per cent to be expended for the board of colored schools and 20 per cent of missioners, in their attempt to carry out the economy policy of the present administration, cut the estimates for white schools down to $331,000 and the estimate for colored schools down to $83,000, a total for both of $141,000, of which only 14 per cent was asked for children. And then the house of representation, in their attempt to tripple appropriation, which was passed December 21, 1900, increased the amount asked by the board of commissioners for new schoolhouses for white children by $241,000, but cut down the allotment for schoolhouses for colored children $48,000, fully 60 per cent of the total appropriation, but reducing the colored schools only 4 per cent of the total appropriation instead of the 28 per cent asked by the board of education and the 14 per cent asked by the commissioners. But this is not unprecedented. The following state cent will show the appropriations made by congress for new schools and the 14 per cent asked by the public schools of the District of Columbia during the years named: White Seated Colored Schools, Schools, Pet. $ 221,800 $156,000 41 1901 ... 242,000 155,000 39 1902 ... 147,000 61,944 28 1903 ... 159,000 61,944 28 1904 ... 170,000 61,944 28 1905 ... 150,000 40,800 21 1906 ... 150,000 40,800 21 1907 ... 321,158 55,200 14 1908 ... 419,000 125,000 22 1909 ... 469,000 122,000 21 1910 ... 772,000 85,000 4 Total ... 35,129,578 $760,657 20 You will receive from the above statement that money has been general in its treatment of the white children of the district, and the app- ropriations for new schoolhouses have been proportionate to the increase in population during the last few years. But that cannot be said of the appropriations for schools for children, and the amount provided for them may not be sufficient for any year except 1904, when money was appropriated, and 1905, when the amount ($7,713. White economy is an excellent virtue and the determination of President Taft cut out down the expenditures of the government to the lowest possible level. It is universally commended. I do not believe that the Senate and member of the Senate and house of representatives will justify him in investing at the expense of the co- ncluded children of the national capital.

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE SOUTHLAND ONE OF THE MANY THINGS THAT MAKE ME LIKE THAT BECAUSE CAN'T DECIDE WHAT THEY ARE Two Beautiful Young Girls Terribly Mistreated on a Southern Railroad and in the Courts there Because is its weakness they are Afro-Americans. New Orleans, La. Just how prominent a part the color line plays in the south was shown recently, when the Misses Edith and Bell Lee, daughters of Mr. Sam Lee of Tannany Parish, were brought before the judges of the supreme court, so that they might have ocular proof as to the girls' rachial identity. The question at issue was: Are the Lee girls colored or white? Up to this time it is still a mooted question. Last summer the Misses Lee boarded the train at Folson and coached to Covington in the "white" coach. They were not molested, as the conductor believed they were of that race. However, upon their return trip, Conductor Spies spied them riding with the "whites" and ordered them to take seats in the "Jim Crow" car. Although the girls demurred, they finally went into the coach. As they arrived, the coach and were informed by the conductor that unless they left the coach immediately, they would be put off the train. Arriving at a small station, the Misses Lee alighted and walked a mile in the dark to the home of acquaintances, who drove them to their residence, a distance of 12 miles. The girls were due at home at 7 o'clock. The girls were distracted because parents become nonappearanceed because of their nonappearanceed in the meantime. Proceedings were brought against the New Orleans Great Northern railroad for damages, it being charged that the Jim Crow" coach, at the first trial of the case, the jury made up of southerners, and all claimants, after wringing for hours, reported to the court that no agreement could be reached, some claiming that the Lee girls were colored and others that they were "white." Then the case was tried a second time before a judge, who gave judgment for the railroad company, and the case was appealed to the supreme court. The judge said that the judges could decide in their minds as to what race they belonged. During the trial, the girls sat in the front seat, where they attracted some attention, as both of them are very pretty, with straight, black hair and cleaner features. Their father claims they have Indian blood, but that there is no Negro blood in their veins. During the trial, both the girls were asked to stand, and both the girls were told over the orded they were forced to undress, but after a time they dried their "cats" and became interested auditors. OUR DUTY! From Now on Until the Presidential Election in 1912. Editor Harry C. Smith, of The Gazette, Cleveland, O., in a recent issue of his paper, boasts that he did not vote for either Taft or Bryan; he is not an innocent Afro-American who was fleeing from a Springfield, Ill., mob-of "white" brutes while the candidate referred to was addressing a public meeting in that town. That man the mob tore up upon the road to get the Afro-American who had sought and found refuge there. We had intended to vote for Debs (since we could not "stomach" the prejudiced south's allies, Bryan and Taft), until the incident occurred referred to above. Then, we urged all the manly, self and race-respecting voters of the city to apprehend the appreciation of an act so soddem reprehensible that for the Prohibition candidate for president of the United States. Haven't we a right, and good cause to "boast" that we "did not vote for either Taft or Bryan," both of whom have openly showed more respect and regard for four-moulted Bill Tennan and southern Democracy, than for the vital interests of our entire race? We have no editor of our esteemed contemporary, the Freeman, agrees with us, too. His editorial, "Politically. What of the Night," is excellent and has the right ring. Keep it up, confere, until after the next presidential election, and our "agitation," which will really education, will do much to solve the problem. "It" that ignores makes clear. We have been "at it" for years and take some credit to ourselves for the very excellent showing Ohio's Afro-American voters made in the fall of 1988, when fully three-fourths of them refused to vote for presidential candidate Taft. Let us keep up the campaign, and in 1912 the mass of our citizens in the north, at least, will know their duty—what to do—and will do it like men.—The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. Certainly you are right to vote according to the dictates of your conscience, and we admire your choice in yourself, we bullied you in election. Like yourself, we bullied you because and for the same identical reasons you give, and we speak frankly when we tell you now that we are not pleased with Taft's policies so far as they relate to the Negro citizen. Our struggle and contention now and on must be a struggle and contention that will be for the oppressed multitude, larger and more opportunities for the Negro, and for "every right with all our might." No compromise. We must take a stand, an independent stand, cease voting the straight Republican ticket because of war measures. The war is over and slavery is over. We should rather vote for men and measures, especially when those men and measures have the presidency observe the most possible interests of the country and the Negro. We are with you, Hoo Harry C. Smith, because we have always found you clean and true; interested in that which is best for the advancement of the race. Let us work this thing out and help the brethren to be there "with the goods" on next presidential election day. The Freeman is with you, and all who are of our way of thinking. Taxation without representation is wrong, unrepublican and undemocratic. Let us agitate!-Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman.

Champion "Jack" Johnson' is to challenge Burrs in Australia, and Joo Jeanne in Paris, France, after his fight with Jeffries in July, which Barney Oldfield and Battling Nelson pick him to win. William Morrell of St. Louis, Mo., rescued an Irish lad, James McCarthy; from the Mississippi river recently, in which he had fallen through the ice boarded "Moon" on the bank jeopardized at the lad when he wont to save the boy. The Maryland board of state aid and charities has recommended to the legislature that $41,000 be appropriated during the next two years for Afro-American institutions. This includes $3,000 for the Provident hospital of Baltimore. Reporters of daily papers, particularly in New York City, can write more lies and publish them, about "Jack Johnson" than the rest of their kind in the entire country combined. "The house" he sent our last week from New York City, is a case in point. Bishop L. B. Scott, after several months 'in this country, is returning to Africa, where he has spent several years as a missionary bishop of the Mt. Church. Bishop Alexander Walters of the company companying him, and will look over his church's work in that country. Billy Brady, former manager of Corbett and Jeffries, says that "Jack Johnson is a better fighter than Peter Jackson ever was. John L. Sullyan does not agree with Brady in this, and says Jackson is the better man of the company companying him. Peter, You can now guess why. Miss Louise Schillhammer (white), daughter of one of the wealthiest businessmen of Jericho, Vermont, and John W. Davis, an Afro-American who has carried the mail from the postoffice to the railroad for years, went to New York on January 16, and were married. She leader in the church work and social life of her home town. In a recent interview, John L. Sullivan, ex-champion, after saying Johnson would whip Jeffries, said: "But at the same time I don't consider Johnson a great man. He never was and never will be as good a fighter as he could be. The cannot be spoken of as anywhere then. Johnson has only been defeating small men, follows from 20 to 40 pounds lighter than himself, whereas Peter Jackson met men as big as himself, and cleaned them up. He was a great fighter, and it was only an accident that prevented his beating Corbett. He hurt his ankle a few days before and went into the ring a very long man. At that he went 64 rounds with Corbett, and hold his own." 2023 Beaver Falls, Pa. Brevities. Mr. and Mrs. John Robinson and daughter of _____ spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Grimes.

Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 Cleveland, O., January 29, 1910. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the Interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The out-of-state newspaper talk of Senator Foraker as the next Republican candidate for Governor, is silly. He has always gone forward; not backward. Almost next day, after a recent visit of a large delegation of Virginia Afro-Americans to the White House to meet with President Obama, to office, of white men noted for their unreasonable antagonism to Afro-Americans, President Taft appointed C. J. Smithers, a well-known "lily-white" demopub, United States marshal for one of the districts of that state. They ought to have had better sense than to go to him. Wait, what square accounts with "the big mush of concession," as the Hon. Frank Sainborn of Massachusetts, terms President Taft. --- Speaking of a little "till" of words anent the army, Taft and Tillman had at a banquet recently, John Tenplem Graves of Georgia, now an employee of the W. R. Hearst papers in New York, Chicago and San Francisco, said recently in Washington, D. C., letter to the Chicago Examiner: "Near Tillman miller are my nephews, I have the tilt, not have they lost anything of mutual regard for each other." Loving the South with all of its silly, foolish prejudices as both do, how could it be otherwise? Of course Taft and Tillman miller are not the "nag" and lack of the Negro or "nag" and (better) Afro-American. The two T's make a fine (2) pair, don't they? AN INHARMONIOUS DUET. After the recent meeting of Governors at the White House, Gov. Anselm of South Carolina said: "Centralization and State's rights, that for a century or more have been singing solos, mostly in discord, will now in a new form of congruency. Soon women should cable this to Roosevelt. It would make him quite as unhappy as Taft did soon after his nomination in 1908. Whenever "centralization" and "states' rights" sing Ansel's "harmonious duet" the South's victory over the north will indeed be complete, as also will be the elimination of the Afro-American as a citizen-factor of this great country, if indeed President Taft does not finish this last job before the end of his term of office. He has gone so far in his handling of it, that the outlook on the future does not depend on a realization of the fact that there is "more truth than poetry" in the South Carolina Governor's remark. And our four or five alleged "national" organizations go on "sleeping the sleep" of the criminally negligent! Likewise, the great mass of the members of the race. How long, O. Lord, how long! The local tax board held dispute over the hiring of men in general Wednesday, and decided that no Negroes at all are to be hired as measuring men. Two had applied. Next week the board will take on about 150 men to measure the buildings of the city inside and that. These men will cost $2.50 to $4 per day. The job ought to be good until May 1. Our people have no chance to get any of these places and can thank one Bates for the loss of this opportunity. Theo. M. Bates, the public representative of the board, spoke as follows: "Her job has appointed two colored men as deputy building inspectors, and I think he made a big mistake," he said. "Whatever may be our personal feelings about the race question, we are appraisalists, and prejudice here in Cleveland. These building inspectors have to enter homes, and many people do not like the idea of having Negro officers going through their buildings as appraisalists, and therefore men would not have to enter houses at all." "What are you going to have them do?" demanded Democratic Member John A. Zangerle. "Stop at the doors and ask what's inside. You'd get a mighty job. That is what the卫星 is to be carried on." Theodore Bates is an East End Republican whom our people have helped to elect to county offices several times, the last being in November last when he was elected to his present position on the tax board. Thank God! we did not vote for him. O. Bates, just run for public office again, please! JOBEPH BENSON FORAKER. A Chicago daily paper said last week: "Mr. Foraker's call on the president at the White House to address climate events in the last presidential campaign, and it called attention to another campaign in the coming autumn." 1666, and we may again be prominent THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1910. Senator Foraker will always "be prominent." He is too big a man, mentally, to live in this country and be otherwise. It is not necessary that he be actively engaged in politics to "be prominent," as he is a constitutional lawyer, a jurist who has no superior, as well as a STATESMAN almost without a peer in American life. The average Ohioian has only to recall this state's representation in the upper and lower branch of congress, to fully appreciate the above facts. Senator Foraker ought to be returned to the United States Senate. He is not a senator, but a senator is felt greatly. It is (at least in our judgment) this that caused President Foraker, who owes his first public position, as Judge of the Superior Court of Cincinnati, to Governor Foraker, that caused the President to send for him, last week. If it means his return to the Senate, the entire country (and our people particularly) have every reason to congratulate itself. There is nothing that Taft can do that will come nearer to making our people "forgive and forget" in his life. He is the greatest of our great and good friend, the Senator, to his own, a seat in the United States Senate. It is, too, about the only thing, except death, that will keep him from being the next President of these United States. "FLIM-FLAMMED GOOD AND A PLENTY." AGENTS! READ!

HIRSTIUS GUILTY SAY BOTH OF THEM CITY CLERK WITT AND DIRECTOR SPRINGBORN GIVE INSIDE INFORMATION. WHY STREET WAS NOT OPENED The Gazette Was Right in Its Content as Usual—Our Refusal to Support Hirstus and Others Fully Justified—Some Interesting Letters. As is well-known The Gazette was bitterly opposed to the election of Sheriff Gur Hirstus, because when a member of the council (from the 11th ward) Hirstus refused to perform his duty, he was sent from Central avenue to Cedar avenue, between Perry street and Greenwood street, because a few prejudiced Cedar avenue residents asked him not to perform his duty, so he would come through "the street from Cedar avenue and "peer into their windows." He withdrew an ordinance which he introduced in the council (authorizing the proper city authority to perform its duties) of the above mentioned rights. died Cedar avenue residents. When he was rescued to the connect, Hirshus, a second time, promised to have the street cut through, but steadily refused to keep his promise. The following is petition and self-explanatory. Read the letters carefully and thoughtfully: Office of The Gazette. Cleveland, Nov. 19, 1908 Mr. Peter Witt, City Clerk Dear Sir, Justice Hirschmute a statement in a political meeting to the effect that he had passed an ordinance, resolution or something in the city council, provided by the city government, Central avenue to Cedar avenue, between East Twenty-second and East Twenty-eighth streets, opposite Sked street, or in that vicinity, which he passed, provided by the city government in July last the work of cutting the street through has been held up ever since by Director Springham or someone else connected with the city government. How much, if any, truth is there in his claim? Last year or the year before the one individual introduced an ordinance, provided by the city council, providing for cutting a street through in the same vicinity. Will you tell me whether or not the request referred to was ever passed by the council, and why the street was not cut through at that time? By compiling with the above requests at your office, you will greatly oblige me. Your truth. Nov. 22, 1998 Hon. H. Y. Smith, November 2, 1988 Dear Sir: On July 9, 1986, resolution No. 5268 by Mr. Hirstus provided for the opening of East Twenty-fifth place to Cedar avenue. it passed the amendment that the provement was not made for the reason that Mr. Hirstus did not want it. His reasons for not wanting it, I have explained, are that the people in the immediate vicinity of the proposed opening did not want people of your race to come through. Only of the present year there was a resolution introduced, and passed in June, looking for the making of a new street between Central Avenue and opposite Shod Street. This improvement never made for the reason that the money in possession of the city through the sale of homes was for the making of new streets, and not the making of new streets. It is the custom of the administration to defer to the wishes of councillors in the city to make the decision feel sure that the only reason the improvement at East Twenty-fifth place was not made was because of race prejudice which Mr. Hirstus listened Would suggest that you call up her Springbrook and get from him a confirmation of what I have given to you as a camerar. Very truly yours. H. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette. Dear Sir: At, swelling your favor of the 25th inst., with reference to the enclosed letter from Mr. Witt, who said that the facts are as Mr. Witt states, and had Mr. Hirstius desired to have "East Twenty-fifth place opened through to Cedar Avenue, it would have been done long ago. At the time it was proposed to make this opening Mr. Hirstius invited me to meet with him a committee at the close of one of the council meetings. The committee represented the property owners and residents on Cedar Avenue, where the improvement was intended to be made. They protested against its opening, and the result was that Mr. Hirstius finally agreed not to have it made, AND ASKED ME TO HAVE NO FURTHER STEP TAKEN IN THE MATTER. It was not until recently that the case which we had started in court to condemn the property was dismissed. We have always made it a rule to act in accordance with the wishes of the councilman representing the ward in which improvements of this kind are to be made. It therefore seems that Mr. HIRSTIUS ALONE IS TO BLAME FOR NOT HAVING THE STREET OPENED. Yours very truly, Old Embalming Secret. Having preserved and kept for about 40 years the body of an adult man, prepared for burial, Underkatter T. J. Hummell of Minerva, Pa., thinks he has rediscovered the old Egyptian enbalming process. GARRISON'S LAST WORDS A Letter Written to the National Conference on Our Status, Held in New York Last Spring. Boston, May 29, 1909. Mr. William Kendall Walling, Sec'y, Nate, New York City. Dear Sir, I regret my inability to attend at the conference and record my protest against the rising title of race prejudice and caste bias. I am not endlessly met, regardless of the inherent respectability that now lends condescension to this resurgent spirit of slavery. As former days, I have been a slave, and down comes from its professed friends. The Vardilman and Tillmans are harmless in comparison. Their brutal awaful of a purpose to remove the slave from his vassalage, through evasion, or defiance of constitution and law, repels humane souls and makes for justice. It is men of socialized, social problems, arguing to themselves the character of friendly advisers of the colored people, yet viewing the question from the sum of race pride and birth, who are most From these come easy acquiescence in the abrogation of the fifteenth amendment, the approval of separate schools based on completion, and an agreement of white deterioration—while contemplating without disturbance the unabated illicit connections so flagrantly in evidence. The erred leads to the unanticipated complication of people liberated by lynchings proclamation; compassing by force or fraud the end for which the southern conederacy fought and failed. Now, as democracy is in the process of whether soft government can survive in a land where material interests long overshadow the principles and enthusiasm of liberty. It is the fair weather southwesternity and weaker resistance to privilege. I trust that the conference will utter no unacquainted sound on any point affecting the vital subject. No part of it is unacquainted with the question. Requirement an experiment is at stake, every tolerated wrong to the Negro reacting with double force upon white citizens guilty of rathlessness to their brothers. The rampant antipathy to the Oriental races is part and parcel of the problem. An absolute refusal to differentiate the rights of human beings. Each has equal claim to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — no outworn institution in the fashion of the majority to decide. I put political rights before educational. Universities have no difficulty in rearing despots, and the wicked laws of all nations are the handwoven fabric of ignorance blunder and bad laws result. Under impartial self-government the blunderers reap the punishment and learn wisdom and self-restraint. No school of civilization in educating a people. Learning never yet guaranteed rights; rights universally secured are the sure guarantee of learning. Let the unanimous voice of the common people be the opportunity to all race, color and sex without distinction, in face of the consistency all-abounding in this dark day. Years for a united humanity. WILLIAM CARRISON Meat Man Fights Trust Canton, O. Petitions circulated here in stores and shops against eating meat are having their effect. At the office of the Canton Provision Co. it was stated that marked decline in meat consumption in the imputed effort would bring the prices of meat down. Cold storage dealers say that eggs will be reduced soon. One of the 200 petitions put in circulation was placed in the meatshop of E. E. Board, who recently accused representatives of buying houses with informing him that the market prices must be paid or that the goods will be taken elsewhere. Gets $500,000 of Kimberly Estate Chicago, Ill. Attorneys connected with the case made public the details of a settlement of the claims of Mrs. Elizabeth V. Asay of this city against the estate of Peter V. Kimberly, the Sharon, Pa., steel and mining magnate, who died in her apartments in this city on June 1, 1905. Mrs. Asay, whose relations with the rich man for several years preceding his death, the knowledge, was paid $500,000. Kimberly was known as more or less of a rounder. Coon Causes His Death. Johnstown, Pa.-Laying on a large raconte, the capture of which had contributed to the cause of his death, the body of Russell Bowman, 27, a widely known Somerset county farmer, was found by friends who had instituted a searching party after he had been found in the town. The body of the man and the raconte were pinned to the ground by the trunk of a tree in the mountains. The man's back had been broken. Beside the body, when found, lay Bowman's ax, gun, hat and coat. Blast Shakes Pittsburg Pittsburgh, Pa.—One man was consumed by the flames and six are in hospitals suffering with burns received when a huge gasoline tank exploded on the bridge over the brothers on Herrs island, a few miles from this city in the Allegheny river. The tank was 29 by ten feet and was almost full of the explosive. The explosion was heard and the concussion felt for miles about the city. The fire was followed by chefs and the ambulances of two hospitals were on the scene in a hurry.

Rain Falling White Rising 'Seine Undermines City and Destroys Human Life and Property—Many Villages Cut Off Paris, France. Fighting against the elements let loose seemingly for the destruction of portions of Paris and for a large portion of the city. Every known building is being taken by soldiers and citizens to save property from the turbulent Seine. With rain falling and sky overcast with threatening clouds the river continues to rise at nearly an inch an hour. Every minute brings greater destruction. Reports of drownings are being received from all sides. Great fissures in the ground indicate how the flood is undermining the city. Streets are giving way under the strain and thousands of buildings are threatened with collapse. Every way under the already given failure of the gas and electric lighting plants, Paris is confronted with an off-fatine. The walls of the d'orsay railway station have given way under the enormous pressure and a vast volume of water has poured under the roadway, lifting it bodily and washing blocks of wood along like straws. The whole quarter is now flooded to a depth of two feet. Death Roll Is Growing. Reports received here from Rouen say that the quays and fields for many miles are under water. Half the town of Laisanne, in the department of the submerged and hundreds of refuges of refuge in the city of Paris, Extensive floods have occurred in Gironde, where the rivers continue to rise at an alarming rate. The snowstorm has ceased and the weather is moderating, but the Seine is still rising and Paris, like a doomed city, is holding its breath in terror, half the city is in darkness. In the instructions which cannot longer be sent by telephone, the army of police, firemen and soldiers give the appearance of a city fighting for its life. Every minute brings graver dangers. New areas are being inundated, quays are collapsing, yawning clams appear the water of the Seine has invaded the active labyrinth of underground Paris. What new disaster will come to the waterlogged city before the Seine begins to fall no one can predict. Already the damage is officially announced, it will be four hours additions more. The flood promises to exceed the limits of a national disaster and become international. The death roll also is growing at a frightful rate, and when the epidemic, which now appears inevitable, breaks out it will run into thousands, appeared among the refugees at tux. Quays Are Under Water. The extent of the floods in Paris may be judged by the fact that about half the length of the quays within the city are under the waters which are pouring into the streets and thousands of laborers and soldiers are working like mad to build cement walls to hold back the current. The foreign office and the Hotel Palais have been abandoned as the cellars of the Gare St. Lazare were in continental hotel and many residences in the aristocratic quarter are rapidly being evacuated. There is ten feet of water in the subway station in front of the Gare St. Lazare, and the sinking of the square threatens to carry down the adjacent buildings. Great sections of the French capital are under flooded square miles of the historic tote de douloure being submerged. Bakers Thrown Into River. The Seine touched the keystone of the arch of the Alma bridge. The back water overflowed the Cours la Rive to a depth of nearly five feet, and the basins of basements of the city cont residence there. The collar at the home of United States Ambassador Bacon was filled and its furnace fire drowned out. The ambassador is now left without heat or light in his home. In the fashionable Avenue Pierre-Charbon a great rent extending 100 feet opened, enquiring a cab and a carriage. The subway at several points has been avaded by the sewerage from the overflowing drains. Paris is beginning to feel the pich of hunger. Details of the flooded regions of the provinces are harrowing in their monarchy of broken dykes in the canals and the inundate of villages, and in the in southwest were rising rapidly. The swollen Lore has caused heavy damage in the province of Touraine. Italy Is Storm Swent. Rome, Italy—The weather has been stormy throughout Italy for several days, causing considirab- damage. The storm here was especially intense, causing the country, while many trees and walls were blown down, a number of persons being injured. Along the Mediterranean coast the damage is even more serious. Several boats were driven ashore. In the south there were enormous floods and numerous earth shocks have occurred in that section.

It is certainly strange, to say the least, that more of our intelligent music-loving people do not attend the Cleveland Symphony orchestra's conference afternoons (3 p. m.) at the Grays' armory, near E. 14th (Brownell) street on Bollar road. Those who pretend to some culture and refinement do not prove their cases by a failure to attend them. Thirteenth ward Afro-American Baehrites hold an anti-Tom Fleming meeting Monday evening.

A social session will be held February 7 and the officers installed. Antloch's Missionary society entertained last Thursday evening at Mrs. Dora Anderson's, Cedar avenue, in honor of W. G. Thurston, who left on the 24th for Richmond, Va. The monthly S. S. teachers' meeting of all departments meets Friday evening. This is the first meeting of all the teachers since the "graded work" has been taken up in the school this year. The school meets at 9 a. m. Sundays. Two entremising members of the race, George Washington Evans and Ulysses Grant Evans, have grocery stores on Central avenue that would be a credit to any one. One is near E. 36th street and the other near E. 34th street, and both ought to be patronized far better than they are by our people. We frequently see them going into grocery stores in that vicinity, other than the Evans, and cannot help decrying such action. Our ministers could help, if they would. The circuit court sustained the decision of Judge Phillips of the court of common pleas in the injunction suit brought by Alex. Martin, attorney for Rev. Hamilton of Delaware, against the North Ohio Conference of the A.M. E. church. The decision was that as Rev. Hamilton had not exhausted his right of appeal in the church itself, the civil courts had no jurisdiction. So he and Martin lost. It is said Attorney W. H. Boyd's fee for representing the church conference was $250. Prof. Henderson Smith, one of our leading connectors and directors, who has been at home in Chicago three weeks critically ill, is convalescing slowly. Last week his life was despaired of as a result of a complication of diseases. Mr. Smith was here at the Hippodrome some weeks ago at the head of his company of musicians and comedians, known as the "Ten Dark Knights," who gave a fine vaudeville act. They toured England and the European continent last year and the year previous. Mrs. Mary E. Lewis of Washington, D.C. for many years a resident of this city, died there recently, and the remains were brought here on Wednesday for interment in the family cemetery lot where Mr. Lewis, a son and other children are buried: Years ago Mrs. Lewis kept a store where there is now a barber shop on Central avenue (Garden street) just east of E 30th street (Stirling avenue) on the north side of Central. The house and store building belong to the Lewis estate, the latter for years being the family residence also. Mr. John Kelogg was been agent for the property for years. This older resident all member Mrs. Lewis and her daughter. She was an intelligent, thrifty and energetic woman, a grand mother. Her daughters have the earnest sympathy of many friends here and in Washington. That Maschke-Bachr "outfit" is bad, very bad, especially when it comes to giving Afro-Americans decent appointments. They have certainly "film-flammed" the black "Baehritcs" of last fall, "a good and a plenty." Poor things; it serves them right. For seven long years County Recorder Bachr refused to keep the promise he made us to appoint an Afro-American clerk and a copyist in that office. His successor, Recorder Maschke, refuses, also, to give us the clerkkab in that office, again faithfully promised during the administration of the last year, wondered at that the Bachr-Maschke city administration "film-flamme" our people so? We should say not. Some day local Afro-Americans will wake up, and all follow the lead of the "old reliable" Gazette which has always told you the truth about men and things in time. "A forcible hit," as termed by one of her teachers, was made by Cleota F. Collins, daughter of Rev. Ira A. Collins last Monday at the grand assembly of Technical High School. She, the first colored girl to appear in the "Tech. auditorium, sang "A May Morning." It was received with such hearty appreciation that she responded with "A Japanese Love Song," which was delivered with such force and spirit that it captivated the students. A roaring, and so lengthy an applause, rang through the school that the president of the senior class arose to restore order. This brought another peal, and he failed to restore order until she positively refused to sing again. She received more applause and praise than any one who has ever taken part in any of the exercises there. Teachers and pupils crowded to congratulate her and they say she must sing again. James E. Perkins, who died a little over a year and a half ago, held a policy in the Travelers' Insurance Co. of Hartford, Conn., for $2,000. He was a railroad employee, and his was an accident policy. In April, 1908, he was hurt in a wreck in this city at the Central viaduct, and died as a result of the injuries thus received. While suffering from them pneumonia developed and the attending physician signed the death certificate simply, "pneumonia," and that is what made it necessary for Mrs. Jna Strain Press to sue her husband for the death of her husband resulted from the injuries received in the railroad wreck referred to above, was so strong that the insurance company decided to compromise for one-half of the original amount of the policy, $2,000. This was done on the 7th of last month. Mrs. Perkins has also entered suit against the Erle Railroad Co. for $10,000, for the death of her husband. Of the eighteen alleged appointments of Afro-Americans to jobs under the Baehr-Maschke administration claimed by the black "Bachrites," at least seven ("Noonday" Brashes, Fairah, Stewart, Griffin, Drake, Harris, Kyle and others) have not been allowed to fill the places it was said they were named for. More and worse still, the most of them will not get the places or any others, it seems. Less than a dozen Negroes have been given places—spittoon cleaning and broom-rustling jobs in the main—all below clerkships. This number is less than one-fifth the number of the same kind of places Mayor Johnson and Mayor McKlisson gave our people and these two latter-named officials gave several Afro-Americans first-class and good-paying clerkships also. In the language of Bishop Derrick, when he exorcated Sam. Woods for his bad political "break" in St. John's church three Sundays ago: "Why make so much noise about such little, petty jobs." -AIN'T IT SO! Read all the good bishop said republished elsewhere in this paper by request. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1910.

The length of life of an average woman, in Brussels at least, is superior to man. Statistics show that during the last two years the feminine element has predominated in the Brussels population. In *'908* there only 7,848 boys in the Belgian capital between the ages of 10 and 15 and 7,903 girls of the same age. After 20 years the difference increases in favor of the woman and while Brussels only possessed 9,383 males of 20 to 25 years and 9,181 of 25 to 30 the fairest half of the human race was represented by 11,701 and 11,899 respectively. This supremacy of the feminine element keeps positively to the end, at least as far as Brussels is concerned. We learn further that while Brussels has only 65 men of 85 to 90 years and 10 nonagenarians only, she can count 184 women between the ages of 85 and 90, 35 of 90 to 95 years, and six of more than 95 years.

The statement was made not long since by a railroad man who claimed to have made the remarkable discovery that such was the case. There is not a district of a fair amount of settlement in any of the three Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, but has its school, and the railways have stations every seven or eight miles apart, around which group the towns, some large and some small, but each important to its own district. Schools are largely maintained by public funds and the expense of tuition is but a nominal sum. The final returns of the grain production for Central Canada for 1909 is now in; and the figures show that the value of the crops to the farmers of that country is about 195 million dollars, as compared with 120 million last year. American farmers or those who have gone from the United States, will participate largely in these splendid returns, and these comprise those who have gone from nearly every State in the Union. One of the many proofs that might be put forward showing the immense wealth that comes to the farmers of Central Canada is seen in the sum that has been spent during the past two or three months by the farmers who have for the time being ceased worrying over the reaper and the thresher, and are taking to enjoying themselves for two or three months. It is said that fifty thousand people of these Western Provinces spent the holiday season visiting their old homes. Most of these passengers paid forty and some forty-five dollars for the round trip. Some went to Great Britain, some to the Continent, others to their old homes in Eastern Canada, and many thousands went, to visit their friends in the States. The amount paid alone in transportation would be upward of two million dollars. Some make the trip every year. It need not be asked, "Can they afford it?" With crops yielding then a profit of $20 to $25 acre, and some having as much as twelve hundred or more acres, the question is answered. The Canadian Government Agents at different points in the States report that they have interviewed a great many of those who are now visiting friends in the different states, and they all express themselves as well satisfied, and promise to take some of their friends back with them. There is still a lot of free homestead land in splendid districts, and other lands can be purchased at a reasonable price from railway and land companies. AND TOMMY GOT BIFF.

Frazier of Tennessee tells a story of the delight which the late Senator Pettus of Ala bama took in a card game. Senator Frazier, when governor of Tennessee, had gone to Hot Springs, Ark. There he met Senator Pettus, ard, knowing him well, determined to warn him that three men with whom he had been playing cards were sharpers from Nashville. After hesitating some time he approached the aged senator, and after engaging him in conversation apologized for warning Senator Pettus that his card partners were crooked. "You don't say!" smiled Senator Pettus. "Do you know I suspected it?" "Well, I advise you not to play with them any more," said Senator Frazier. "But there's nobody else here to play with." querulously returned the aged senator. Older senators repeat an anecdote of Senator Pettus in which he is represented as returning home after a night at cards just as the morning light was breaking. He was at the time of the story 85 years old, and Mrs. Pettus was but little younger. They never addressed each other except as "Mr: Pettus" and "Mrs. Pettus." "Mr. Pettus," said Mrs. Pettus sternly, rising up in bed, "do you think it is good for your health to stay out as late as this at night?" "Mrs. Pettus," returned her husband, "don't you think I am old enough to know what is good for me?" Anndal to a Thief The other evening M. Alfred Edwards lost a pocketbook-containing a sum of £444 as he was leaving the theater. This morning a letter from him appears in the Figaro addressed to the presumed thief, who must be bound to the seemingly one indeed if he does not answer it at once. The letter says: "In leaving the Attoine theater last night after the 'Papillon' had been given some very deft hand abstraced my pocketbook, containing ten bank notes of 1,000 francs each and 12 others of 100 francs, with some photographs and papers that are important to me. If the person who has appropriated my property is so well inspired as to read the Figaro I beg him to send me back the pocketbook and the papers, which are of no use to him. To hope that he would also send back the bank notes in exchange for a good reward would be exceeding the limits of optimism, and I do not dare to expect it. But my papers—what use can they be to him?"—Paris Correspondence, London Telegraph. Homage to Noah In a lecture before the Royal Geographical society Capt. Bertram Dickson said there is a large sanctuary at the top of Jebel Judl, where every year in August is held a great fete, attended by thousands of energetic Moslems, Christians and Yezidis, "who climb the steepest of trails for 7,000 feet, in the terrific summer heat, to do homage to Noah. This mountain seems to have been held sacred at all times, and certainly it has a wonderfully awesome fascination about it, with its huge precipices and jagged crags watching over the vast Mesopotamian plain. The local villagers can see the exact spot where Noah descended from the ocean where Hassan, they showed his greetings, and the vineyard where he is reputed to have indulged over-freeely in the juice of the grape." The owner of this declared that the vines had been passed from father to son ever since.—London Evening Standard. Origin of Life. Nothing new is to be reported under this head. The status of the ancient problem remains the same. The whence and what of life remain the same impenetrable mystery. Where life comes from, and what it is after it comes no man can tell. This much, however, seems to be generally accepted, that life can come only from life. Huxley declared, just before his departure, that the idea of creating life from nonvital matter was the dream of a fool, and nothing that has happened since Huxley's death has served to disprove the soundness of his statement.

"Thank goodness there is nobody to recall a worse storm in unpety-seven," he cried. Hereweth he felt the worst was spared him Reclaiming the Wilderness move on, to other free grass. Perhaps they looked him over a bit, more carefully then, and noticed the peculiarity of his nose and his eyes and the handy and casual way he had of picking off the holds of rattlesnakes and such things with a six-shooter while he talked. In a neighborhood where cattle thieves were beginning to be troublesome a man like that would be handy to have around. They were to have an example presently of his willingness and ability to defend the rights of ownership—a small example, but convincing. It was no easy matter to keep a herd intact in those days. The outlaw pure and simple was bad enough, but to the newspaper with a small bunch of "cows" (cattle, regardless of gender) the vast, roaming herd guarded by a veritable army of punchers, whose respect for any law was small enough, as an even greater menace. McDonald knew of these conditions and, when soon after his arrival some of his cattle strayed away he set out to inspect the surrounding herds. After riding some distance he came upon a large drove, evidently on its way to market. It was about noon and the men were "rounding-up" for dinner. McDonald started to address a herder when the man turned abruptly and started off McDonald immediately began looking through the cattle, when the herder wheeled and roughly asked him what he wanted. "I was looking for hobbled horses," was the easy reply, whereupon the puncher made some surly comment and rode away. McDonald, presently satisfied that his stray cattle were not with that portion of the drove, continued his search further along and came up with the "chuck wagon," where dinner was being prepared. Cow-men are hospitable and the foreman invited him to dismount and join them. He did so and a little later the surly pumcher came in, giving the camp guest anything but a friendly look. In the course of the meal the visitor was asked where he was from. "Mineola," he said, "Wood county." The aurly herder spoke up, "These d—d sand lappers (east Texuns) are getting too thick out here." McDonald set down his coffee. "The d—d skunks and prairie dogs are already too thick," he said. An instant later the puncher had out his pistol, but the sand-lapper was still quicker. The puncher was covered before he could bring his weapon to bear. McDonald said: "Turn it loose! Drop it." The herder still clutched the weapon which he was afraid to raise. The sand lapper stopped hearer to him and with a sudden movement rapped his smartly on the head with the heavy barrel of his six-shotter. It was a thing that as a deputy he had done often and it was always effective. The puncher-dropped his gun. One of his comrades sprang to his assistance, but was covered and disarmed with amazing suddenness. The foreman interfered now, and the beginner of the disturbance was led away to a brook to have his head bathed and bandaged, whereupon the sand lapper quietly finished his dinner, his neck continued for his missing stock and when the found them set out for home. Meeting a group of punchers among which was his surly friend with a now bandaged head, he expected further trouble. Nothing happened. The sand lapper and his missing cows had the right of way. Commercial Venture and Adventure. The inclination to commercial enterprise still survived. At the end of a year McDonald sold his cattle and invested in the lumber business at Wichita Falls. There was a merchant in Baylor county, Texas, to whom Humberman McDonald sold a good bill, on time. The account, ran until one day the county judge of Baylor, one Melvin, dropped in and stated that he had called to settle the amount for his neighbor. He gave his own check for it and McDonald supposed the matter had ended. A few days later the bank returned Melvin's check as worthless. Evidently the quiet, unobtrusive life which Bill Jess had been living as a humber merchant had given the impression that he was an inoffensive person, who would pocket a loss rather than make trouble, especially with a county judge, who added to his official prestige the reputation of being a bad BARBERS WHO BECAME TOTED Edward Sugden, afterward made Baron Saint Leonard's, the son of a baccharine in a shop in Lincoln's Inn, London.

He gave ARD times came on in Minneola. Railroad building was at an end; crops failed; men who had bought goods on long credit could not pay. "Bill" McDonald, as he was now usually called, had been one to carry long lines of credit for his customers and he was hurt accordingly. He gave up business at last and in 1883 invested whatever remained to him in cattle and set his step further westward, where there was free grass. He headed toward Wichita county, which was almost an unknown land in that day, driving his cattle before him, his young wife at his side, both eager to begin a new life in a new land. To drive cattle across the wild Texas prairies 25 years ago was an experience worth while. The grass was free, but there were always those who wanted to form a trust of its vast areas and make treadjassiers of the smaller men. McDonald had scarcely located his hard and pitched his tent when two of these magnates notified him that he had better move. He asked in that quiet way of his to let him have a look at their tilt, and when they could not produce them he added that he thought he stay where he was. He began to tell him of some of the things that were likely to happen if he did that, but he did not seem impressed by the information. He repeated that he would stay where he was and that anyone who did not wish to be in his neighborhood had his perseverance. "Mineola," he said, "Wood county." McDonald set down his coffee. "Turn it loose! Drop it!" Commercial Venture and Adventure. Not a Few Wilders of the Razor Have Risen to Positions of Eminence. Perhaps the best known of all barbers who have attained fame were Arkright, the barber of the jockey, who is said to have turned to mechanics when the wigman making trade fell off, and Jeremy Taylor, who was brought up in his father's shaving THE RODEO HE WAS DISARMED WITH SMALLING. SUPPENDENTS man from "very far up the creek." However, this was a mistake. McDonald asserted that his customer had neatly sent the money by Melvin to pay his bill, and considered what he ought to do. Merally, perhaps legally, he could have demanded payment a second time, on the ground that the said customer, being acquainted with Melvin, should have selected a more reliable messenger. But that was not the Bill McDonald way. What he did was to write to Melvin, demanding an explanation, adding in pretty positive terms that he expected immediate settlement. No reply came, and a second and a third letter followed, each getting more defiance as to phrase. Then one day Melvin and certain henchmen from Baylor appeared on the streets of Wichita Falls. McDonald, who had heard of their arrival, suddenly confronted Melvin and delivered himself in such terms and with what emphasis as he had on hand at the moment. Melvin withdrew, gathered his chats and had for McDonald in front of a saloon where the latter had to pass. Though previously warned of the ambush, McDonald did pass, with the result that next morning Melvin settled did bill in full, paid the money, and then opened and a fine and costs amounting to $5, for the concealed weapons. What really happened to Melvin is best told in Bill Jess's own testimony, when that same morning he himself been summoned to answer a charge for carrying concealed weapons, disturbing the peace and for action—said action being the result of Melvin's judicial pull. Arriving at the courtroom, the prosecuting attorney asked McDonald if he had a lawyer. "No," he said, "I don't need anybody to defend me for knocking a secondound over. I'll attend to my own case, whatever is necessary." The attorney then stated the charge to the court. Bill Jess waited until he was through and then permission to speak. "Your honor," he said, rising, "I'm a buoy man, with no time to be fooling around this way with men who give bogus checks and steal horses and such like, but if your honor will spare 'about a minute' I'll tell what happened." He then gave a history of the lumber transaction and added the sequel as follows: "When I wrote him as strong a letter as I could frame up and as would go through the mail he come down with, a crowd of what he thought was fighting men and I met him and tried like a gentleman to persuade him to settle up and to equivince him what a dadblamed rascal he was, which he plead guilty and didn't doeny. Then he gathers his feeble bunch of fighters together, arms up with sixshooters and corrals them in Bill Holly's saloon, that I had to pass, going home. I met John Hammond, who tried to persuade me not to take that street—said those fellows were up there and I'd better go in some other direction. I said I wasn't in the habit of going out of my way for such cattle and proceeded on up the street. "When I got in front of Bill Holly's, Melvin and his warriors stepped out. Melvin wanted an explanation of my former remarks and I gave it to him and added some more which I would not like to mention in the presence of, this court. Then he pulled out a big, white-handled forty-five sixshooter, but gave a little show with it, I grabbed it by the barrel and hit him with my first two or three times, which kinder garred him house from his gun. Then I gave him a rap on the head with it and knocked him through Bill Holly's glass front door, into the saloon. His pal pulled their guns, but I covered them with the one I took away from Melvin and they nearly broke the furniture to pieces getting out of there. I didn't see any more of any of them until next morning. Then I looked up the bunch and got a check in full, with interest, from Melvin and made pay Bill Holly $5 for his glass door. So far as a carry gun is concerned, I had one, and I got another from this fellow here, who had pulled it on me. I took it away from him and hit him with it and I have the same here in my possession now, to turn over to the court." Bill Jess reached down somewhere and, drawing Forth "the big, white-handed six-shooter laid it down in front of the court. Then suddenly turning upon Melvin, who was patiently waiting for him, struck "All's all I have said, so" he demanded. Melvin found himself unable to tell any- ported to have said, "for reminding me of my lowly origin. It is true that I am a barber's son and that I myself was once a barber. If the gentleman who so politely reminded me of those facts had been a barber, he would have continued to remain one till the end of his life."

He broke a window before morning and promptly paid for it by McBmond's request. Removing t) Hardman county was the only thing that saved Bill McBmond from being drafted into official service where he was in the counties bordering on Indian territory and up through the Panhandle a man had to "stand pat" whatever his hand and hold his own by strength of arm and quickness of trigger. Cow thieves and cutthroats abounded. Officials often worked in accord with them or were afraid to prosecute. The man who would prefer cooperate with outlaws nor condone their offenses was already on the ground and would presently be in the field. Hardeman county had lately been organized and the settlers were cowmen, cowboys and gamblers—lawless, enough themselves—and another element, which pretended to be these things, but in reality were outlaws, pure and simple. The latter lived chiefly off the heds, driving off horses and cattle and hiding them in remote and inaccessible places. Often the cattle were butchered, their hides, which were marked with brand and carmarks, destroyed to avoid identification and the meat sold. Men who did these things were known to be butchered and purchased for the reasons named. In certain sections of the territory itself and in No-man's Land (a piece of disputed ground living to the north of the Panhandle, now a part of Oklahoma) matters were even worse. In these places there was hardly a semblance of law. It was in 1855 that Bill McDonald disposed of his humber interests in Wichita Falls, re-invested in cattle and set out once more for the still farther west. He had filed some school land on Wanderee's creek in Hardman county, about four miles from where the town of Quanah now stands, the heart of what was then the wilderness. He did not go there immediately, however; he conducted for a brief time a humber business at Harrod, Willbarger county—a circumstance hardly worth mentioning save for an incident of another sort which occurred at this place and period. McDonald, whose reputation as a man of nerve had traveled to Harrod, was one night called upon by Ranger Leue. Sam Platt to assist him in handling a gang of outlaws, known as the Brooken band, that infested that neighborhood. The Brookenes had ridden into Harrod and were running things pretty much in their own way. Platt and McDonald promptly borne upon them and a running fight ensued as the Brookenes retreated. About 100 shots were fired altogether, but it was dark and the range too great for accuracy. Nothing was accomplished, but the event marked the beginning of a warfare between Bill McDonald and a band of euthroats, the end of which would be history. It was soon after this first skirmish that McDonald sold out his business in Harrod and set out for his Hardman county ranch. As on his former migration, he drove his cattle to the new land and after the first hard day's drive camped at nightfall in a pleasant spot where grass was plentiful and water was handy. The next morning, when preparations for an early start were under headway, it was suddenly discovered that four of the best horses and a fine Newfoundland dog were missing. Two of the horses were found astray, evidently having broken loose from their captors. It was further discovered that the Broken hand had a rendezvous in what was known as the Cedar Brakes, a stretch of rough country, densely covered with serrably cod, located about 12 miles to the southwestward. McDonald naturally felt that it was now his turn to move again in the Broken game, but it did not seem expedient to stop the journey then, so bidding his time to be pushed on to his land on Wanderer's time, he lished his ranch. Fenced his property built a habitation for himself and the wife who was always ready to follow him into the wilderness, then promptly he rode over to Margaret, at that time the county seat, and asked Sheriff Jim Alley—a good man with his hands overfit—to appoint him deputy, that he might begin the work which clearly must be done in that country before it could become a proper habitation for "white men." The commission was readily granted and from that appoint- MCDONALD OF TEXAS BY JOHN H. HARRIS 1900 thing but the truth just then. McDonald was discharged and Melvin paid a fine as before noted. Following this incident came another, which solidified the Bill McDonald reputation for nerve in Wichita Falls, Bill Holly, the aforementioned—whose name in another part of the state had been Buck Holly—becoming Bill after a mix-up during which the other man died—one day absorbed an overdose of his own stock. In trade and set forth to build up and town, Bill was involved in things generally, impinging the streets and bringing business to a standstill. The city marshal was organizing a pose to take him and commended McDonald, who said: "Give me the key to the calabash and the 'won't be no need of a possess." He took the key in one hand and a skishooter in the other and marched up to where Holly was practicing on front doors and hardware signs, stuck the gun close up under the nose of the disturber and with his quick magic disarmed him and set out with him for the look up. Holly begged and philodid and was finally father had been accustomed to shave others for a penny.

With his commission in his pocket Bill Jess was not long in getting down to his favorite employment, that of man hunting. He began quietly, for he wanted to identify some of the men nearest to hand. who were in one way or another connected with the Cedar Brakes gang. Boll Broken, a notorious outlaw, was the head of the band and his brother Bood was one of its chief members. The Brokenens were wanted not only for cattle stealing, but for train robbing and murder as well. A certain Bull Turner was one of their vultures. Turner was said to have been one of the Brokenens gang at an earlier time, but had abandoned that way of life and made an effort to become a decent citizen. The gang believed he had given information and somewhat later, when he was driving across the country with a prominent stockman—a Jew named Lazarus—the Brokenens and half-a dozen of their followers suddenly dashed out of roadside concealment and began firing. Turner was instantly killed and Lazarus fell over the dashboard in a wild effort to get behind something. The frightened horses, one of them wounded in the foot, ran madly all the way to town with Lazarus still clinging to the whiffletrees. With the assistance of Sheriff Alley—also short a horse, through the industries of the Broken gang—and one Pat Wolforth, who was acquainted with certain of the silent partners of the outlaws and stood ready to give information—several arrests were made presently and troubled the air. Threatening letters now began to come to the new deputy, warning him against further procedure—promising him death and torture of many varieties if he did not suspend operations. Such letters always stimulated Bill McDonald to renew enterprise. Meantime the railroad had reached Hardeman and the town of Quanah—named for Chief Quanah Parker, son of the historic Cynthia Ann Parker—had sprung up. It was the typical tough place and certain had men still at large came there to proclaim vengeance and to "lay" for the men who were making them trouble. Among these disturbers was one John Davidson of Willibrarger county, on the borders of which the Cedar Brakes gang was located. Davidson appeared presently on the streets of Quanah, flourishing his firearms and making his bonks. Bill McDonald suddenly arrived on the scene and without any parley whatever stepped quickly up to Davidson and disarmed him so suddenly that the terror of his gun not recover himself until he was halt way to the office of justice, where he paid a fine. The trick it again the next week, with the same result. He kept on trying it and each time settled for his amusement with a fine. The Davidson crowd was still in town and far from satisfied. Davidson felt that he had support enough now to tackle even that hardwood McDonald, and he enlisted a big butcher knife Williams to stir up the mess. The gang themselves with long butcher knives from Williams' shop and started out to hunt up their victim, and located him in a saloon where troubles of vanquished likely to originate and the presence of an officer was desirable. Big Bill Williams, the butcher, entered first, and coming near to McDonald slightly bumped against him. Not wishing trouble, McDonald walked away, followed by Williams, who bumped against him. Deputy Bill then walked to the other side of the room, which was unoccupied and when Williams and his crowd started to follow he warned them not to come any closer. At this a number of cowmen who were present saw the trouble and being friendly to McDonald stepped. In, pushing Williams and his crowd toward the door. Outside, the disturbers gave vent to their animosity for McDonald in violent language and opprobrious names. Suddenly McDonald himself stepped out among them and seeing a piece of scantling about four feet long lying by the door he seized it and as Williams started toward him he gave the big butcher a Hek across the faces with it that flattened his features and put a habitual crook in his nose. The crowd thought Williams was killed and his supporters began to get out of the way of that scantling. But McDonald dropped it and had out his guns in a moment. "Halt!" he said, "every one of you. I'll kill the first man that runs." Then to the Rangers, who at that moment appeared on the scene, "Search those men for weapons." Search was made and long butcher knives intended for McDonald came to light. A knife of the same kind was found on Williams. Somewhat later word was brought to Pepuity. Bill that what was left of the Davidson and Williams crowd had collected in Tip McDowell's saloon; where a brother of Williams tended, and were declaring war to the death. McDowell went down there and entered, with a revolver, each hand. The crowd of would-be assassins, about a dozen or so, took one look and made a break for the back window and fled. McDonald now resolved to hunt on his own hook. As deputy sheriff he was restricted to his own county; but this handcap was removed through Ranger Captain S. A. McMurray, who had him appointed by Governor Ross as special ranger, with sheriff's rights in any county in the state. One day he received a letter from Capt. George A. Knight of Dallas, Texas, U. S. marshal of the northern district of Texas, asking him to come to Dallas and be made U. S. deputy marshal, with authority to operate in southern Indian Territory and Nomans Land. McDonald went down without delay and reported at Knight's office. "I have heard about you and your work up in Hardeman," said Capt. Knight, "and I want you for a deputy. But first tell me what are your politices." McDonald did not hesitate. McDonald was a Republican. "Capt. Knight," he said, "I am the damnedest, hell-daringest, all-firedest Democrat you ever saw. If politices has anything to do with this appointment I'd just as well go back." "Well," said Knight, "you're pretty emphatic, but I guess you'll do. Your kind of politics seem to suit your job pretty well." It was only a little while after this that Bill McDonald was made also Deputy U. S. marshal of the southern district of Kansas. He brought in Bood Brooken last, got him sentenced for five years and broke up the gang utterly. Bill Brooken himself escaped to Mexico, was captured there, brought back and sentenced for 177 years. to shave weights and measures are abandoned, the London Chronicle thinks.

One fourth cup melted butter, one cup of sugar, one cup of milk, two cups of selfraising flour, and flavoring to stale. Sponge Cake—Sponge cake is always a much desired cake, but in many instances not affordable on account of the eggs. Here is a recipe using only three eggs: One cup sugar, three eggs, one half cup cold water, two cups flour, one heaping teaspoon baking powder. Here is another recipe which uses more eggs and is very good. It is called hot water sponge cake. Six eggs, two cups sugar, two eggs, one half cup boiling water grated rind of one half lemon and one teaspoonful of water. Beat the yolks and sugar to a froth; also beat the whites to a stiff froth. Add the lemon to the yolks and sugar, then add the flour. Bake in a moderate oven one half hour. Chicken Shortcake Here is a good way to convert the remnants of a chicken stew or fricassee into a tempting and savory dish: Free the chicken from skin and bones and cut into small slicers. Put the meat on heat in enough gravy to make it quite moist. Sift two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and one-half teaspoonful of salt with one plum of flour. Sift one teaspoonful of lard and butter into the flour. Sift in three quarters of a cup of milk. Sift the dough into a small ball and roll into a cake about an inch thick.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY BY E.J.EDWARDS Vigil of Love Killed Savant "Fillmore's was a romantic career," said Mr. Clarke to me one day. "Beginning as a wool carder in a town near Buffalo, he became president of the United States. He had many remarkable adventures, and the story of his life, if told in popular style, would furnish almost as fascinating Caruso of the Last Century loved and laughed like others of his family. He would have had something for his old age. He would not now be walking the streets in the night, thinking this: 'Not any longer are you Brignoll'. Because he learns this—when you have a voice and sing so that they clap and shout, then you are an idol. They point the finger at you on the street and say, "That's Brignoll." But wher, the voice is gone, then you are nothing. They forget you. They don't remember that they ever knew you. They have forgotten Brignoll, and he once had the world at his feet. Ah, it was all bad, a very bad mistake. I would be happy now in Italy, if only I had been just Brignoll, without a voice." What could I say? - in silence we reached the door of my hotel. Across the way beckoned a well-lighted bar. I saw Brignoll's eyes wander in its direction. "Ah, if I could only buy a drink of brandy!" he appealed. He—the Brignoll who had been—great who had received the worship of the great—was stranded in a great city without a cent of money in his pocket! A few minutes later he passed out into the night, and the next I heard of him was that he had died in poverty in New York City. Sherry is a wine that has almost disappeared from the table of Edward VII. The king some years ago sold a large quantity of sherry that had been laid down in the royal cellars many, years before his accession, and since the sale of sherry has quite fallen out from the list of fashionable wines in England. His majesty knew what he was about. He had reached the age when light wines are advisable, for health's sake, and he neither wished to oblige himself nor his guests to partake of even the smoothest, mellow sherry. Among some facts concerning the wines served at his sovereign's table, recently related by the head butler in charge of the department at Buckingham palace, he says visitors often go over the cellars, and on one occasion after he had told the history of a certain almost priceless claret to a foreign royalty who was inspecting the wines, the latter exclaimed with a laugh: "Why, wine like that ought to be in a museum." Uncle Sile—That's one thing I can't understand, Mandy. Aunt Mandy—What's that, Sila?

Seemingly a Long List of Their Sufferings—Limit Reached in One Case. They suffer long, and are kind; they vaunt themselves only in comparison with those of their own sex whom they consider their inferiors; they envy not (so they say); in short, they are charity incarnate, and yet they are made to suffer, suffer, suffer the consistent and wanton cruelty of men. This must be so, for the well-nigh innumerable caravan which wends to the divorce court can only be recruited through such brutish and indefensible means. It may not be discreet to rehearse the long, harrowing list of detailed cruelties to women which have made us all shudder during the recent actions for divorce in local courts. Too many thorny details cling in our lacated memories in spite of all our attempts to forget. But it has remained for a Cincinnati husband—monster of How Affection of Lord Kelvin, the Famous British Physician, for His Wife Really Led to His Death. Two years ago in December, the cable brought the news to this country, where he was widely known and loved, that Lord Kelvin, the great British physicist, had died after a brief illness. A day or so later the cabled accounts of his funeral told that the only flowers on his casket at the funeral was a wreath from Lady Kelvin. How Lord Kelvin's great love for his wife really led to his death is here told for the first time, and the story is vouchered for by Mr. George Westinghouse of Pittsburgh, who was one of Lord Kelvin's most intimate friends. "When Lady Kelvin accompanied Lord Kelvin to America," said Mr. Westinghouse, "everybody who met the two were invariably impressed with their deep devotion to each other. It was easily apparent that Lady Kelvin was not only a sharer in her husband's interests. In mechanics, physics, industrial development, and all science, in fact—of which he was in so great degree a master—but also that their domestic relations were ideal, she constantly looking to his comfort and, ministering to him, and he responding with gentle carresses. "During Lord Kelvin's last visit to this country, his friends here learned that he was deeply solicitious regarding the state of Lady Kelvin's health. Some time after his return to England, was received that Lady Kelvin had, in fact, become a hope- Pitiful Talk of the Once Great Singer Not Long Before His Death in Poverty at New York. Brignoll—what a wealth of musical memories the name awakens in those life-long lovers of operatic music whose heads are now gray. For Brignoll, coming to this country in 1855, for a quarter of a century thereafter was probably this country's most popular operatic tenor—a vertable Caruso of yesterday. He sang with Patti at her debut, with Nilsson, La Grange, Parepa-Rosa, Tietens—all the great singers of his time. He had the country at his feet. Many are the memories that come to me of poor Brignoll, whom I met several times, at last to know quite well. But most vivid of all my recollections of him is that of our last meeting, which occurred but a few months before he died in poverty—he who for years received what were then unprecedented sums for singing, excepting, possibly, those paid to Patti and Nilsson. Returning to my hotel about midnight of the second day of the Republican national convention which was held in Chicago in 1884, I heard some one call my name as I passed the entrance of another hotel. Turning about, I discovered that it was Brignoll, *whom I had not seen for about a year, and then in Washington. We 'shock hands. "If you please," he said, with the grace and politeness and courtesy that were inbred in him, "I would walk with you back to your hotel." Then he added, by way of explanation as we started off, "I have walked much by myself this evening, and it seems happy to me to meet some man that I used to know, to talk a little with him." "Are you singing here; Brignoll?" I asked. "Ah, no, not much," he said wellily. "I came here to sing a little, but Brignoll's voice—what is it? Puff—and here he snapped his fingers with a disdainful gesture, 'it is gone. It is no longer Brignoll's voice." "What is the trouble?" I asked. "Have you been ill?" He touched his breast. "Sick here." For a moment he was silent. Then his heart spoke. "What is Brignoll now? Nothing. He might as well be dead. It would be better, perhaps. Ab, it would surely have been better, perhaps. Ah, it would surely have been better for Brignoll if he had never had a voice. Then he would have stayed in Naples. He would have had a good trade. He would have lived and worked and Make Him Out a Has-Been. At the Franklin Inn, a literary club of Philadelphia, a sonneteer discussed Winston Churchill, the novelist. "Churchill," he said, "is not liked abroad. I mean he is not liked by the so-called elect, the Bernard Shaws, George Moores, Max Beerbohmus and so forth. "At a vegetarian luncheon at Bernard Shaw's fat in Bloomsbury, the talk turned to literary things, and Max Beerbohm praised Joe Conrad—actually called him a genius. "I interrupted the young man rather impatiently, and, remembering Winston Churchill's enormous editions, I said: "But, sir, what do you think of Winston Churchill, America's pride?" "Beerbohm affected to frown, he pressed his hand to his brow. "Let me see, he murmured, 'who was Winston Churchill?' Next to Impossible.

Then came the report that Lord Kelvin himself was seriously ill, and within a week or two the announcement of his death followed. "It was his solicitude for the comfort of his invalid wife—his helpmeet of a life time—that really killed him. Though he was a man of advanced years, and had need to husband his strength, from the day that Lord Kelvin became an invalid he was in constant attendance upon her. He could scarcely be prevailed upon to leave her for a few minutes, even; he seemed to feel that that time was wasted which he could not devote to the care of his wife. He was convinced that her illness was mortal, His Crafty Methods, When, as Comp troller of New. York, He Wished to Be Absent from His Office.

Wines for Royalty Not Up-to-Date and to those endeavored to persuade him to rest now and then, he replied that during the time left to him and to Lady Kelvin to be together, he felt that he ought to give his constant attention. And so, hour after hour, he sat by his wife's bedside, holding her hand and talking with her. At last there happened what Lord Kelvin's friends had feared all along—the strain of his constant vigil of love broke him down completely, and having no surplus vitality to rely on for recuperation, he passed away. "To-day Lady Kelvin lingers on, a hopeless invalid—and I doubt not that all her thoughts in all her waking hours are of the man whose whole married life was dominated by the one thought of her comfort and happiness." (Copyright, 1909, by E. J. Edwards.) reading as does the early life of Abraham Lincoln. "It was my good fortune to know Fillmore well. He became comptroller of the state of New York in 1847, and not until the following year was he nominated for vice president on the Wiltig ticket with Gen. Taylor. During that period I was deputy treasurer of the state, Mr. Fillmore frequently dropped into my office to chat with me, and in this manner I came to know him intimately. "But of all the things he told me confidently of the great politicians of the day, and of all the fittings he did to my own personal knowledge, nothing threw for me so interesting a light on the man's character as did his methods of tricking the state whenever he wanted to be absent from his office. It is a story that illustrates perfectly the crafty side of his nature. His other and nighter side was that which any great man and true patriot possesses. "Soon after he became comptroller, Fillmore brought to the treasurer's office some blank warrants and asked me whether, if he signed them in blank, they could be utilized in case he were absent from his office, for he expected to go pretty often to Buffalo and other points in the state. I answered that this could not be done, but added that if he were out of the state at any time, then his deputy would have authority to sign warrants, which the treasurer would be obliged to honor. "Well," said Fillmore, "if I should go to New York and take the House's railroad, which runs between Connecticut, it would take me out of the state for a few hours; then my deputy would be authorized to sign, and it would not make any difference if I got to New York City that way." "If you notify us that you are going into Massachusetts and Connecticut, I replied, 'then your deputy would be authorized to sign the warrants until you notified us of your return to the state.'" "That was all the assurance that Mr. Fillmore wanted, and after that, for several months, whenever he went to New York City, he took the Housatonic railroad instead of going to steamboat down the Hudson, as almost everybody else did. But first he always notified us that he was leaving the state and took equal care not to notify us of his return to it until he was back in Albany. "But I think that without question, the strongest of all his subterrutes to trick the state of his time, and so give himself more time, he employed at the time the suspension 'bridge over the Niagara river was under construction "There was to be some sort of ceremony at Niagara" in which he wanted to take part, and it was to occur at a time when some important warrants would have to be signed by the controller. Nevertheless, he went on to Buffalo, had himself taken across the river in a basket in which the bridge workmen were conveyed across the chasm, and then sent us word that he was in Canada, so that we would be compelled to recognize this deputy's signature on those important warrants and all others until such time as he notified us that he had returned to the state. "Think of it—the man who was to be vice president in two years, and president in three years and a half later, being the party to a subterfuge like that.

She, therefore, applied to the court for relief, and a degree of divorce has just been granted to her. But the single specification of cruelty made in her petition for divorce on that ground (according to the correspondent) was the diabolical habit of her husband to buy real estate and expect her to pay for it. She endured some minor transactions in dutiful silence, but when this merciless brute bought a hotel for $6,000, knowing (as she alleged) nothing of the hotel business, and asked her to pay for it, then she brought her action.

The master sat at the desk, wearily leaning his head on his hand, his eyes fixed on a boyish scrawl decorating the blackboard across the room. "This world is all a fleeting show for man's delusion given," he read with a mild wonder as to how lobby Green chanced to express so pessimistic a doctrine. His inquisition, as it stood, was certainly accorded with his own ideas, but that was no reason why the children should learn the truth this early in life. Scott Fairfield, the new master of the district school at the Corners, had the name of being a "powerful hand for grammar and composition," but today he had, outdone himself. After a lengthy and painstaking explanation of the word "biography" he had startled the children by requesting each one to write the biography of some friend or relative; and it was with many laborious sharpings of pencils and much rattling of paper that the youthful writers had begun their task. At the Deans' supper table that night, during a momentary fall in the conversation, came Polly's opportunity. "Manma, what's a biography?" "Illess the child—what is she up to now?" exclaimed Mrs. Dean in gentle surprise. "It's writing a whole lot of nice things about somebody—praising him way to the skies, when it isn't true at all!" snapped Aunt Muddy, who just been reading the catalog of a man she cordially disliked. "It's telling of everyone a person did do, and a few things he didn't, declared brother Nel with a chap of his shoulders. It was a tall tell of an open life which one would be a resuscitate one's own" and for father to be A Now and Then She Stole an Upward Glance at His Face. pushed back his chair; and in the general laugh that followed, Polly slipped away. The biographies were to be read on Friday afternoon. When the appointed time arrived, the youthful authors betrayed some excitement and perversity as they rose one after another to offer their contributions. The master looked down very kindly at Polly's flushed cheeks and shining eyes, but he started slightly as she announced in a shrill trattle: THE BIOGRAPHY OF MY ACNT MAJOR This beautiful lady was born, oh, I don't know how many years ago, but ever so many—much as 29, maybe. She isn't dead yet, so I don't know when she died. She isn't shiny gold hair piled way up on top of her head, and she is the prettiest lady I ever saw. I love her very, very much. She is pretty pussy, and never says, "Hunny don't say, "Run away" sometimes. But this beautiful lady is very sad. Sometimes I look at her I want to cry, once a time, and I look. Once upon a time she had a lover. I know this because she has got his picture apart in her room. I don't think he is as pretty as she is, and I told her one so day, I bought her fancy, and took the picture away quick. Like my teacher, only my teacher has got whiskers, and he hasnt. This lovely lady has not been here very long, but I wish he hadn't been forever. That is all I know about her. SCOTT Fairfield's face was white and his voice was very low and husky as he called on Tommy Brown for the next biography. When Polly started for home that night, she found the 'master beside her. "May I walk with you, dear?" he asked, with a wonderfully sweet smile. Polly was raised at once to the seventh heaven of delight. She blushed and hung her head, but she looked sideways out of her eyes to see if Mary Ellen and Susie were watching—the master was not wont to be so gracious. "Do you think your Aunt Madge is at home to tonight?" questioned Fairfield again, with a strange diffidence. Polly nodded. "Perhaps you will take me to see her," he suggested, almost deferentially, and then he was strangely silent. "It must be Madge." he was thinking. "It is just like her own pround self to make no sign. Pride? What was pride worth, anyhow?" He was sure he would throw bis to the winds. His blood was coursing mainly through his veins and he was tingling to his finger-tips when Polly opened the gate before a pretty white cottage; but he contrived to walk with proper sedatness behind his small guide, who was fairly guiding with the delightful importance of his casion. He was peering intensely up and down the parlor. However, when Polly disappeared in quest of Aunt Madge. Scott Fairfield started quickly forward as the door opened, but his impassioned "Madge" died on his tips, and his constructed hand dropped to his side. Polly was leading a small, dark-haired, bright-eyed woman up to him and saying: "This is my Aunt Madge, Mr. Fairfield." Every vestige of self-possession left the master of the village school, and he stumbled and blundered in hopeless confusion, while his face wont from white to red, and red to white. "I—er—oh—there is some mistake—er—I'm delighted, I'm sure—" then to Polly with wrathful recklessness—"Why, child, you said she was tall and—" he stopped short with a sudden realization of the vivid color that was staining scarlet the face of the pretty little woman at his side. "Apparently my niece has been favoring you with my personal description—and the reality disappoints you," she began trigly, but with the suggestion of a twinkle in her eyes—there was something wonderfully ludicrous in the picture of confusion before her. The poor man opened his mouth to speak, but Polly came to his rescue. "Papa said you wouldn't recognize it!" said she, gleefully. "Recognize what?" questioned Aunt Madge, turning to Polly in surprise. "Your biography, of course, and you said it was praising 'em way to the skies when it wasn't true, too!" Aunt Madge colored and bit her lip, and the ghost of a smile flickered for an instant across the distressed-faced of the man; then he gathered all his scattered wits and made a mighty effort. "I am very big your pardon. The fault was all my own. I was led by what this little maid said in her biography, to think that in her Aunt Madge I had discovered a long lost tribute I only hope you will kindly excuse my awkward stability when you realize how great must have been my surprise as I saw, not my friend, but an entire stranger, enter the room. Then he turned to Polly with a taint smile, but a deep pain far down in his eyes. I fear, my dear, that my meaning was not quite clear to you about the biography I did not interest that you should imagine it all." "I did not!" asserted Polly, instantly, "I was telling all the time about a beautiful lady that I love very dearly, and it is all true, every bit of a mess." It was Miss Weston, over a Cousin Mabe's. I just wrote about her for Aunt Madge's biography—that's all! added Polly with a sigh in her voice. the means Madre Weston who is visiting my brother's family across the street; the young lady has suddenly become Polly's ideal" explained Aunt Madre hastily, marveling at the great gift which transformed the face of the woman before her as the name passed her lip. Five minutes later he had mingled hasty adjectives and adjectives and had turned quick steps toward the house across the way. Aunt Madre, with a sympathetic little thrill for that other woman's coming joy, saw through the window the door of the opposite house, open and close on Fairfield's stalwart form; then Polly was surprised, with a spasmode hug and a fervent kiss from her usually undemonstrative aunt. Women as Inventors A writer in Cassier's Magazine celebrates the inventive skill of women. He notes in the long list of mechanical devices "springing from the fertile brain of American womanhood" a machine for driving barrel hoops, a steam generator, a balling press, a steam and fume box, an automatic floor for elevator shafts, a rail for street railways, an electric apparatus, packing for piston rods, locomotive wheels, a railway tie, a stock car, a boring machine for drilling gun stocks, etc. That is all very well, but no woman has ever invented a machine that will button her up the back. She has to marry a man to get that done with neatness and dispatch. Future Living Conditions M. Jules Bois, the distinguished French writer, who has discovered much concerning ancient civilization, predicts that in a hundred years' time the great cities of Europe will be practically uninhabited except for business purposes during the daytime. All classes will live in the country or in garden cities, to which access will be cheap and extremely rapid, owing to the development of pneumatic railways or flying cars. The motor car will have gone completely out of fashion, but the bicycle will come again in favor, for a sort of flying, bicycle will be invented, which will enable the rider to soar in midair. Korean Mining Industry The mining industry in Korea gives employment, directly and indirectly, to some 8,900 Koreans. As regards copper deposits the Kapsan mine, in the northeast of Korea, which is now held by an American company, has for centuries been worked by Koreans, and preliminary surveys of the property revealed the possibilities of rich deposits of the metal. Coal and iron are widely diffused, but difficulties of transport render the working of these deposits, even where rich, impossible at present except in the case of the anthracite coal mines near Pyong-Yang, which are under the control of the Korean government. Pictures Future for Rabbit A theorist on the rabbit problem suggests that 'some day the rabbits will actually be cultivated and improved in Australia, as the sheep was, his far longered and the value of his ginis improved, both as clothing in cold climates and as the basis for lattes. He pictures possible future rabbit sales. But that is a dream of the future.

"You haven't any work now?" "No, I'm just waiting. I began by opening cab doors. Then I opened the doors of motor cars. Now I'm waiting till the aeroplanes are ready." EPIDEMIC OF•ITCH IN WELSH VILLAGE "In Dowlais, South Wales, about fifteen years ago, families were stricken on wholesale by a disease known as the itch. Believe me, it is the most terrible disease of its kind that I know of, as it itches all through your body and makes your life an inferno. Sleep is out of the question and you feel as if a million mosquitoes were attacking you at the same time. I knew a dozen families that were so affected. "The doctors did their host, but their remedies were of no avail whatever. Then the families tried a drugstriber who was noted far and wide for his remarkable cures. People came tolia from all parts of the country for treatment, but his medicine made matters still worse, as a last resort they were advised by a friend to use the Cottonia Remedies. I am glad to tell you that after a few days' treatment with Cottonia Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, the effect was wonderful and the result was a perfect cure in all cases. "I may add that my three brothers, three sisters, myself and all our families have been users of the Cutcurea Remedies for fifteen years. Thomas Hugh, 1630 West Huron St., Chicago, Ill. June 29, 1993." Saxing Time The family was to leave on the two week train from Broad street station, so the mother was all in a hurry as she hurried the children in a certain West Philadelphia home. Now, children get everything ready before lunch," she said. "Don't leave everything until the last minute." And the children said they wouldn't lunchoon ended, they hurried into their wraps and started. In the hall the mother said: "Edward; you didn't brush your teeth." "Yes, makam, I did." "But you couldn't," she said, "you didn't have time. Why you just got up from the table." "I know that," said Edward; "but we were in such a hurry I brushed them before I ate." - Philadelphia Times. Real Early Rising. Farmer Brown and Farmer Jones were near neighbors, and many a dispute took place as to who was the carier riser. Both maintained that each excelled the other. One day Farmer Brown determined to put the subject to test. Rising very early one morning, at two o'clock he proceeded to visit his friend. Great was his astonishment when he saw Mrs. Jones hanging out the clothes in the garden. "Farmer Jones about?" he asked. "Well," replied the lady, "he was the first part of the mornin', but I dumno where he be now." The Ruling Passion. An old Irish woman, in describing a "gone but not forgotten," said: "Mike was the toine man entouriely and hed he living now, if it wasn't for the shrink. He had a dog and sure that baste would bring him home from the saloon when he was so blind wid liquor he couldn't see a shtep before him. And when he died—tis the truth I shpaking—his ghost walked at night, both back and footh, bethe saloon and his house—and bedd "twas so drunk his dog knew him!" INSOMNIA Leads to Madness. if not Remedied in Time. "I experiments satisfied me, some 4 years ago" writes a Tonka woman, that coffee was the direct cause of the insomnia from which I suffered terribly, as well as the extreme nervousness and acute dyspepsia which made life a most painful thing for me. "I had been a coffee drinker since childhood, and did not like to think that the beverage was doing me all this harm, but it was, and the time came when I had to face the fact, and protect myself, I therefore gave up coffee abruptly and absolutely, and adopted Postum as my hot drink at meals. "I began to note improvement in my condition very soon after I took on Postum. The charge proceeded gradually, but surely, and it was a matter of only a few weeks before I found myself entirely relieved—the nervousness passed away, my digestive apparatus was restored to normal efficiency, and I began to sleep, restfully and peacefully. "These happy conditions have continued during all of the 5 years, and I am safe in saying that I owe them entirely to Postum, for when I began to drink it I ceased to use medicine."

Why does Great Britain buy its oatmeal of us? Certainly it seems like carrying costs to Newcastle to speak of exporting oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every year the Quaker, Oats Company sends hundreds of thousands of cases of Quaker Oats to Great Britain and Europe. The reason is simple: while the English and Scots have for centuries eaten oatmeal in quantities and with a regularity that has made them the most rugged physically, and active mentally of all people, the American has been eating oatmeal and trying all the time to improve the methods of manufacture so that he might get that desirable foreign trade. How well he has succeeded would be seen at a glance at the export reports of Quaker Oats. This brand is recognized as without a rival in cleanliness and delicious flavor. 51 Whiskers. A Roman poet told of the pride one of the late Caesars took in his great whiskers. On some of the wildwood Hill Billies I have seen beards some feet long, a switch of the loose ends hanging out from under the waistcoat. Others braided the growth, and tied it around the neck, while still others braided it around, the waist, thing it behind like apron strings. One told me he combed and plaited his every night, and put it away, into a long linen bag or night-soggown, so as to keep it from getting all tangled up with his wife and his foot—New York Press. Professional Conduct One of the best stories told about Mr. Birrell concerns a poor client, whose case he took up for nothing. When the case had been won, the client gratefully sent him the sum of 15s, which he accepted in order not to give offense. A colleague reproached him, however, for this "unimpressive conduct" in taking less than gold. "But I took all the poor beggar had," said Mr Birrell, "and I consider that is not unimpressive." M. A.
