IN SPITE of all that is said about the fickleness of insblon, there are some hats that are always in style. Year after year, indeed, decade after decade, sees little change in them, either in shape or size, and none in texture. There is that most beautiful of hats, "the Panama," which for generations was made in about one shape for men and women. It is only within the last three years that the heavy buyers have been able to persuade the native makers to vary their model and produce a little variety in shape. This a doubtful advantage, for the trimmer takes the good, old forms and cleverly modifies them to the changing ideas of the passing season. Besides the Panama there is the beautiful Leghorn "flat." It has been produced for generations. With soft, flowing lines and a crown of normal size, and woven so fine that its body is as flexible as cloth, it is altogether so excellent that there is no use in looking for anything to excel it in simple beauty. The Leghorn is now blocked by the manufacturers into all sorts of shapes, but the flat brim and medium-sized crown lose nothing by comparison with newer forms. The clever trimmer takes the Leghorn flat EVENING DRESS. We show an exceedingly dainty dress here, suitable for ninon, crepede-chine, or any soft material. The upper part is draped on to a princess lining, which continues as far as the hips; the shirt part is then gathered, and set to the edge of the princess, the joining being covered with bugle trimming. On the bodice it is arranged at the edge of chemisette, taken down to: the waist on the right side. Small puffs of material form the sleeves, trimmed with crossings of the trimming, and set to bands of the same. Materials required: Five yards minion 44 inches wide, 5½ yards trimming, nalf yard lace. The New Shades for Spring.

But she will never improve upon the lovely lines of the original shape. The day will not dawn within our time, when this beautiful hat will be out of style. The same hat has its outlines rendered a little rigid and its underbrim faced with a demi-facing of black velvet. A wreath of big, full-blown roses and foliage adorn it. It simply spells the summer girl. It is associated in our minds with girlhood, and season after season appeals to us with undiminished charm. Besides the Leghorn there are the Milan braids and the beautiful diaphanous Neapolltans, all made in the "flat" shape with trifling variations in the shape of the crown from season to season. The Milan has more body, that is, it is heavier in texture than the others and is therefore more used for general utility. Such a hat is shown with a mass of chrysanthemums about the crown and a wing at the side. The initial expense of a fine hat in either of these weaves is money well spent. They are things of beauty and even capricious Fashion seems to regard them as joys forever. For Best Effects, the Articles Should Have a Room Exclusively to Themselves. Those who rummage the second-hand stores and attics for old furniture and brie-braze often obtain what they are looking for, then pay a big price to have it prepared for use, and put it just where it does not belong. That is why antique articles look shoddy in so many homes. Women who are not good judges will pick up the worst-looking old piece of furniture imaginable, drape it with chintz and call it—beautiful. One way to use antique properly is to have an "antique room." Of course, a pair of old and irons can be used in any open fireplace and the glass-trimmed candlesticks are ornamental in the dining room, despite the fact that candles seldom are used for lighting the tables. It is principally of furniture that one must be careful. Do not put an old wain; it settee; chair and marble-topped stand in a room with a mission table and wreker chair, and do not adorn your walls with pink cherubs and expect a mystic glow to make that room look enchanting. It will look more like Vesuvius had an upheaval there. The best taste is exhibited today in rooms simply arranged, even though extremely small. Antiques should be separated from the modern furniture like sheep from the goats, or everyone who goes into your house will depart with a feeling that chaos has found habitation beneath your roof. New Embroideries There is a present aid for lace and embroidery in combination. This is little more than a revival of a fashion of two or three seasons ago The designs, too, are familiar. One sees the same crescent-shape applique, the oval medallions and the long, tablike motifs. Women possessing trimmings of this kind should bring them to light and make use of them. The blind or satin stitch embroideries combined with limitation Irish are perhaps the most popular. A Rug HInt. Rugs have a tiresome way of curling up at the corners, which spoils their appearance, and in the end the corners get torn away. To provide against this, directly a rug is bought bind it on the under edge with stout holland or furniture webbing—Woman's Life. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. A GREAT MAN! WENDELL PHILLIPS! AMERICA'S MOST BRILLIANT OR ATOR AND LECTURER OF HIS DAY. BRIGHT AND GLADSTONE'S EQUAL A Leading Irish Author, Justin McCarthy, Pays High Honor to Phillips—His Wonderful Voice and Commanding Presence—The Fifteenth Amendment. Boston, Mass.—A strong and telling tribute to two men whose works, achievements and personalities are matters of pride to every resident of Boston has been paid by Justin McCarthy, the writings of Irish historian, splendid folk stories and storied forts, for home rule have endured him to every son and daughter of Erin in the land. In his volume published by Harper & Brothers, under the title of "Reminiscences," Mr. McCarthy gives personal experiences and recalls his meetings with Wendell Phillips and Oliver Wendell Holmes. Of the former, writer and folling historian, is remembered by many now living in Boston, Mr. McCarthy says: "In the lecture world of America he was probably; on the whole, the most brilliant and successful historian. He was indeed one of the very finest public speakers it was ever my good fortune to hear; I rank him with Bright and Gladstone. He had a noble presence, a clear-cut, intellectual, statusque face and a voice capable of the greatest public assembly and canvass, of responding to every emotion of humor, of paths, of sarcasm or passion which stirred the speaker's soul. "Wendell Phillips seemed to me to combine the rushing theory of Gladstone with the clear simplicity of Bright. He had different styles for different subjects and different audiences; he could deliver a literary lecture that sparkled all through with geons of phraseology and humor and with geons of rhetorical and educational discourse he throw off in an easy, apparently unimmediated way, as if he were merely thinking about for the instruction and delight of his audience. "But when from some political platform he addressed himself to a great cause which commanded all his sympathies and called for all his energy, then his voice could ring out like a trumpet and the sound of the whole assembly. "I paid him once, all unintentionally and unconsciously, the highest tribute it was in my power to bestow. I had often heard him deliver lectures, but I had never heard him make a really great speech on one of his own special subjects until I went to attend a meeting which was held to celebrate the passing of that immigrant man against being precluded from the right to vote because of the color of his skin. "I was a little late in getting to the meeting and the vast hall was already packed with listeners; I could only get standing room on a staircase, from which I could not see the platform or any of the speakers." "Presently a powerful voice filled halls and soon became carried from which I could not see the platform or any of the speakers." "Since some of the most splendid efforts of Bright and Gladstone, "I could not help whispering to my wife, who was with me." Why, this man is a greater speaker than Wendell Phillips. It was, in fact, Wendell Phillips himself, whom I had not before that time had a chance of hearing at his very best. "He always thought it—selflessly thought it, perhaps—a pity that fortune did not place Phillips in the house of commons. How he would have sustained the cause of Gladstone and rivelled the cloquence of Bright and outsatirised the satire of Disraeli, and answered with pitiless sarcasm the sarcasms of Robert Lowe." "Wendell Phillips never sought or would accept a seat in congress. His nature shrank from the political preliminaries which would have to be gone through before such a position could be obtained. He was devoted to certain great public principles, and for them alone he fought." Sam, Langford whipped another "state champion" up in Wyoming last week.

If it is true that among the Druids the ekg was a symbol of eternity, it presupposes a system of cold storage superior even to our own—New York Evening Post. Western man has offered to marry Carrie Nation. The Nobel peace prize prized 1970 is thus early dispossessed; off, he takes him—Cleveland Plain Dealer. John L. Sullivan says Irishman make the best fighters. But look at the present day chan plons: Jack Johnson, heavyweight champ, is a Negro; Stanley Ketchell, middleweight champ, is Pole; Wolfgang, lightweight, German; Abe Attell, featherweight, Jewish; and Coulon, bantamweight, Frenchish. The mob that attacked the Cairo, IL, jail had mouth wont there for business was proven when militia officers found a quantity of rope, with which to bang the Negro prisoners, and chicks and sludge hammers with which to batter open the cells, in a loom near the jail, where several of those injured in the repulse of the mob obtained medical treatment. Resident Ellot of Harvard college has any may expect that the Negro teachers of any camp, quietly educated in primary schools or grammar schools or industrial schools pure and simple, I can only say in reply that that is more than we can do at the north with the white race. "The only way to have good primary schools and grammar schools in Massachusetts is to have high and middle schools in which the higher teachers must be so throughout the south; the Negro race needs absolutely these higher facilities of education. Mississippi is to be congratulated Ex-Governor Vardaman, whose brutal utterances in regard to lynching and Negroes disgraced the office he held and gave him a most unsavvy national noterely, has been beaten for the United States senatorial after a jungle and desperate struggle to secure a body in a position or which he is so complacent that he sat in the jorny eighth ballot Larry Peeryville was elected by a majority of five votes. The country may not know who Peery is, but it will be relieved greatly to know that he isn't Vardaman. Troy Daily Press. Go. Johnson of Watonga, Okla. has a glamly scar near the right temple made by a piece of shrunnell shell that exploded during that terrible day of the massacre of Fort Orr during the war of the eponym, when 2,000 men, menon and menon, killed of the race were glorified.

The Thirteenth Tennessee was also there and 300 of their men who surroundred were afterward killed by the rebel butcher, Gen. Forrest. This channel house work was done on April 12, 1861.

FORAKER "Cheered to the Echo"—Makes a Charac- acter act out a scene from *The Lion King*. Speech—Taft's Desire. Cincinnati, Q. The recent Washington day banquet of the Stamina league attracted much attention because of the prominence of the speakers. Congressman Nicholas Longworth as usual made a defense of the tariff in his discussion of party pledges. Senator Foraker, after being eulogized by Hon. John L. Sullivan, state superintendent of printing, was given an oval chair by the distinguished statesman lived. He classed Foraker among the greatest men of American history, along with Hamilton, Clay, Blaine and Sumner. A great reception was accorded Senator Foraker, the entire assemblage rising to their feet while drinking his health. He spoke with the same fire and vigor which characterized him "The Black Battalion." While his warmth he enjoyed in some sharp battles, his spirit his boares greatly, and his intimation outside interference with state affairs (Wade Ellis' selection for chairman of the state Republican executive committee, by President Taft) was done with that finesse and delicacy of which he is a master. He said that he would be indeed a peculiar man if he were indifferent to such kindly words, and he realized fully their significance in view of all that he gave before. It was not because of the lack of confidence he was glad to be present, but because of the spirit of Republicanism manifested. There had been something said about elimination. He knew more about that than any man living. It had been mortifying, but it had its compensations. The senator expressed sympathy with Congressman Longworth over the troubles he was having with legislation: as an eliminated man he had none. The senator also complained to Longworth on his behalf and defended the tariff. After few more bouquets the speaker proceeded to discuss his toast, "The Duty of the Hour," which he handled in the masterly manner that has made his fame worldwide. A recent issue of the local daily Enquirer announced that President Taft sent for the senator a few weeks ago to try to induce him to stand for reelection to the U.S. senate in order to be elected and strengthen the Republican candidate in the senator—Longworth, in all probability, if the Taft administration can bring it to pass. Hon. George W.

Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio, as second-class matter Address all communications to HARRY C. SMITH Editor and proprietor, THE GAZETTE, Blackstone Building, Cleveland, O: Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 Cleveland, O., March 5, 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. We have said repeatedly and now take occasion to again say, truthfully, that the American bear Tom L. Johnson made more and better appointments of Afro-Americans to office than has the "Republican" Baehm-Maschke administration. Even Mayor McKisson did better by us. --- Current rumor has it that, President Taft's "new southern policy" has reached Cleveland. The result is the Hon. Jere A. Brown, an examiner of the Ohio legislature, and for years an immigrant inspector, courteous, efficient and honest, has been "demoted" simply because of his race and color. His salary has been cut from $2,000 to $1,000 and his position changed from that of inspector to messenger. This is even worse than the miserable treatment accorded the Hon. George W. Hays of Cincinnati, another exmember of the Ohio legislature, who was recently "fired" from the government's employ, solely because of his race and color, after thirty-eight years' service as court-crier in the United States court there which gave entire satisfaction to all concerned. And still there are Negroes who attempt to make our people look upon Taft with favor! MORE SHADOW FOR THE SUBSTANCE. After quite a year's pleading and begging that would make any intelligent member of the race ashamed of them, the Taft Negroes of the country have finally prevailed upon the Republican senators from Missouri and Kentucky, Messrs. Warner and Bradley, to secure the appointment of Nelson Crews of the "show me" state, to a special agency of the Department of Agriculture, by Secretary Wilson, and the appointment of W. I. Johnson of the "Blue Grass" state, to a similar position under the Central Land Office, by Secretary Ballinger, and are making an effort to try to mislead our people into believing that the appointments were made by President Taft. This is characteristic and disgusting, and is one of the many things that prevent the intelligent of our people as well as those of other classes, from having any respect whatever for that class of hungry Negro politicians who clearly have neither race nor self respect manhood. No wonder that Taft ignores them and has absolutely no respect nor care for them or the people whom they misrepresent. The President has been consistent—he said he would not appoint Negroes to office where "white" men objected to them in any community, and has kept his word. Judge Robert Terrell's appointment to the Municipal Court of the District of Columbus, has been, practically, Taft's only appointment, and the effort to make our people and others believe otherwise is not only wrong and dirty politics, but silly and harmful. ADVOCATING A JIMCROW Y. M. C. A. At last it has reached Cleveland heretofore known as the best city in the country in its treatment of our people. In recent years there has been an influx of most undesirable southern "whites" and "jimcrow" Negroes with the result that Cleveland is about to be punished as other northern cities have been in recent years, with the demands of the former made through the latter, always their willing tools when there is a dollar in sight. For years prejudiced "whites" in the Y. M. C. A. have tried to encourage the establishment of a Jimcrow Y. M. C. A. but never have been able to make any headway. About a year or so ago Secretary Shurtleff (deceased) who first established a color-line in the Y. M. C. A. of this city, possibly five or six years ago, although never able to the day of his death to get out of the organization all of its Afro-American members, held secret meetings with a few Jimcrow Negroes who were, also, ashamed to let the Afro-Americans of this community know of the work they were participating in at the request of Shurtleff or the other prejudiced "white" members of the Y. M. C. A. At his death the disgrueful secret meetings were abandoned. The recent local Y. M. C. A. financial movement, which has netted over a half million of dollars is to result in the organization. The membership will be greatly increased, the number of prejudiced "whites" will naturally grow, and the ban against new Afro-American members will naturally grow stronger—at least that is what is anticipated—although a few of the old Negro members still remain in the organization. The local impeccable Jimcrow Negroes again see an opportunity to serve their prejudiced "white" masters, and are "getting busy" preaching their contemptible "separation" ( Jimcrow) doctrine which really means any old kind of a colorline just so a job is made for them or a dollar is secured by them. The sacrifice of any principle, even one vital to the race, is not too great in MAT. HENSON IGNORED. Congress Should Recognize Also H: Part in the Discovery of the North Pole. Washington, D. C. --The following letter, which is self-explanatory, has just been received by Congressman Loud of Michigan, a member of the house committee on naval affairs: Cleveland, C. Feb. 25, 1910. Representative Loud. House Committee on Naval Affairs. House Committee on Naval Affairs, Washington, D.C. Dear Sir: I know you will pardon my trying through you to remind your committee in charge of the Peary bill and the house of representatives, that there was another American who went (with him) to the Pole, whom many good Americans feel is entitled to some recognition and consideration, too.

MIXED SCHOOLS Burton,rias Postal Bank Play Washington, D. C. (Senator Burton has a plan to unite factions in congress that favor postal savings bank legislation, but oppose the proposals that already have been made here. Senator Burton plans to introduce an amendment, which provides that money from the postal savings banks be invested in government securities. If there are not enough certificates to absorb the whole sum, he proposes that the money be invested in good state, county and municipal bonds. Conners to Retire in April. Albany, N. Y., Chariman William J. Connes of the Democratic state committee on February 24 gave to Charles F.

Told Funny Stories Washington, D. C. With all the hilarity of a real family dinner party, with songs, story telling, and anecdotes, the dinner party given at the Willard by Secretary and Mrs. Wilson in honor of President Taft was one of the most delightful cabinet dinners of the season. A distinct departure from the ordinary formal dinner party was the rule enforced for the evening that each guest must tell a funny story, recite a poem or sing a song. Miss Wilson, who is a noted concert singer, sang delightfully. Loot Express Company Scranton, Pa.-Fred Konfort and Harry Burdick, clerks in the employ of the United States Express Co., were arrested here charged with swindling the company out of thousands of dollars.

The officials of the company refused to give any details of the wholesale swindling operations of the men until all have been arrested. --- New York City.—Bradstreet's says: Trade reports are rather more irregular. Stormy, cold weather over wide areas of the country have apparently retarded the expansion of spring jobbing trade, but, nevertheless distribution has kept up well, in advance of last year. Industry continues active, but there is rather more evidence of friction in some lines, particularly in railroad labor. Strikes of street car hands at Philadelphia checked trade early in the week. Collections are about fair. St. Louis, Mo.-Hetty Green is still so tenacious of profits that she was sued in the circuit court here to compel her to relinquish a note for $5,000 on which she has drawn S per cent interest since 1854. Although the interest for that period has amounted to $14,475, Mrs. Green has repeatedly refused, according to the petition, to accept $5,000 in cash and resign the investment. The noth was executed on December 31, 1874, by Mrs. Catherine Holland and secured with mortgage on real estate. MIXED SCHOOLS DECIDEDLY BEST! FOR OUR AND ALL OTHER PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THIS GREAT NORTHLAND! Says Our Detroit Contemporary—Dayton, O., Springfield, Ill., and Washington, D. C., School Matters Discussed in an Interesting and Intelligent Manner. In some sections of the north there is now on a senseless agitation by colored people in favor of separate schools in two sections at least, Springfield, Ill., and Dayton, O., the local colored newspapers are supporting the movement, "The Forum" in the former city and "The Citizen" in the latter. It is quite evident that the colored advocates of separate schools" have failed to study the effect of such institutions south upon the welfare of the colored student For a long time there was an agitation south to limit the financial support of the colored school taxes paid by colored people. This idea was carried to such an extent that it has been discovered in many communities that the colored school service accorded their children by the white men who spend the school money but that the Negro taxpayers were actually contributing toward the education of the white children. The effect of this policy tends to give the colored child the minimum amount of education while the white child the maximum amount. The colored child goes three months, the white child's school year is nine months. The colored teacher is employed three months in the year, at poor salary, and must have corn and pick cotton the balance of the year for support. While the white teachers are employed nine months a year, get good salaries, and spend locations at northern summer resorts. Even in Washington, D. C., where the school money is expended by a Republican congress, the members of which are largely from the north, there is gross discrimination against teachers. There are 33 per cent of the school population of that city are colored, yet an average of less than one-fifth or 20 per cent of the school money is expended on the colored schools. This tends to crowd the colored schools, overwork the teachers, limit the number of both schools and teachers colored, while on the other hand over 80 per cent of the school money is expended on the white pupils which constitute only 65 per cent of the school population. We would very much like to see reports of Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and New York school boards and see if the same situations are not found in these cities. Far better will it be to agitate for the employment of your educated men or women in the regular union schools as has successfully been done in Detroit. Here we have a half dozen educated colored women employed in the school system, one of them been employed for over 30 years. All of them teach white children and have made good. All of them get the same salary and are employed the same number of months as all other teachers. In at least two other cities in Michigan colored teachers are employed or have been employed in the public schools. Adrian and Bay City, Michigan, are the only cities as it gives the child the equal opportunity to acquire the highest education that the municipality provides and what is still better the association of the children of both races in the school quickens and broadens the civilization of the resulting educated man or woman. "Fident" and "Forum" are damning their own children by the course they are pursuing. Stop it!—Detroit Informer. 'TWAS EVER THUS! A Little Heart-Rending Reminiscence of a Thorough Race Man— Still Loyal. God does things so nobly to those who suffer for Ils cause—to illus trate: When we were taken (several years ago) from our home (having lost three lovely children in one year, and another one being deathly sick) and put in jail and therein kept for 30 days, we were taken to three little boys were, and at once got busy working with those boys. At first they cursed, fought and chewed tobacco, but at the end of thirty days they had stopped it all. We bathed and prayed daily with those boys therein. We were happy then as we were on the 25th day of January, when we encountered the three we were innocent in both cases. To keep under cover their dirty work caused us to be jailed last month, but that 30 day period (referred to above) beat anything in criminal history. We had taken a Negro out of jail four times and the last time stood or a $25 bill. We were taken out of jail and said: Go, go to church. When that Negro afterwards took sick, we helped to feed him. One day after hunting for hours, we found a cover of quails and got two of them. When we got home one of our boys said, "Appear, we have the cover of grape Grass." We have cooked, and taken to him, and added to this, we helped clothe two of his children; and when he got well, this Negro-swore that he saw us shoot and kill a man with a rifle when we never had owned a rifle, nor fired a shot that night, and to climax the story as the night of the 6th of April, 1966, he asked that we be lynched and offered his services to put the noceurs around our neck. In all of our afflictions the dying words of two great and noble women have consolled them: they were Madam Roland and Maria Autonette. The first said: "Q' liberty, the crimes that are committed in thy name," and the second said: "What a resource amid the adversities of life is a highly cultivated mind."—Nartinsburg. (W. Va.)

DIVIDE WEALTH IN THREE FUNDS Mr. Gallinger Introduces Bill in Senate for the "incorporation of the Rockefeller Institute." BY WILLIAM HOSTER Washington, D. C. — A bill just introduced in the regular course of business in the senate by Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire revealed the most stumptuous work of philanthropy in the history of the world. The author of the scheme is John D. Rockefeller and it involves the absolute gift from the great fortune which Standard Oil has built up for him of at least $500,000,000 and may be more. The bill of incorporation names it the Rockefeller foundation. In the early summer of 1906 Mr. Rockefeller sat on a great stone bench in the park of the chateau at Compiegne, France—a bench by the way on which Napoleon Bonaparte had frequently mused away hours—and calmly discussed the criticism and abuse that had been heaped upon him at home in America. "Why do you never reply?" I asked him. He grew silent and for about five minutes his gaze rested on the distant hills. At length he sighed deeply and laying his hand on my knee, said with a curious ring in his voice: "My friend, I don't mind being mis-understood. I don't mind what they say about me. I know, and some day they will know me better than they do now. it may not be until after I am dead, but they will understand me, respect me. it may be even love me, I can wait." Senator Gallinger 'introduced the bill at the "request of some friends of Mr. Rockefeller." He would not say who they are. This, however, is but an incidental feature, for elsewhere in the bill the purpose is set forth, of providing "for the prevention and relief of suffering and the promotion of any and all of the elements of human progress." "To promote the well being and to advance the civilization of the people of the United States, its territories and its possessions, and of foreign lands," is another striking purpose of the foundation which is outlined in the bill. All of the rights and powers that are usually conferred upon corporations are given the foundation in the Gallinger bill. In fact, it was pointed out that by the addition of a very few words as it was written might well stand as a charter for what really would be a "good trust" in the best meaning of the term. Mr. Rockefeller has determined upon dividing his fortune into three great funds. The first and largest is to be for charity and this will be administered by the Rockefeller foundation. It will include the work of endowing and maintaining other charities already organized as well as the founding of new ones. The second is the general education fund, which is to be increased from $35,000,000 to considerably over $100,000,000, and will still further extend the work of the general education board, as already organized. The third and smallest fund is to be set aside for the Rockefeller family. The Rockefeller foundation, according to a close associate of Mr. Rockefeller, is to receive the bulk of his fortune, either while he is living or by his will after death.

Wide ribbon-run beading regulates the fullness at the waistline. The pattern is in six sizes—32 to 42 inches bust measure. For 36 bust the corset cover, as in front view, requires $1\frac{3}{4}$ yards of flouncing $1\frac{3}{4}$ inches wide, three-quarter yard of insertion, one yard of beading, $2\frac{3}{4}$ yards of ribbon and $2\frac{3}{4}$ yards of edging; if peplum is to be used, one half yard of material 27 inches wide will be ordered, or, as, in back view, it needs three-quarter yard 36 or 42 inches wide.

DOANS KIDNEY PILLS Dean's Kidney Pills. A SPECIFIC FOR KIDNEY CONFLICTS. BURDENS LIFTED FROM BAD BACKS Weary is the back that bears the burden of kidney ills. There's no rest nor peace for the man or woman who has a bad back. The distress begins in early morning. You feel lame and not refreshed. It's hard to get out of bed. It hurts to stoop to tie your shoes. All day the ache keeps up. Any sudden movement sends sharp twinges through the back. It is torture to stoop or straighten. At night the sufferer retires to toss and twist and groan. Backache is kidney ache—a throbbing, dull aching in the kidneys. Plasters or limbiments won't do. You must get at the cause, inside.

A Pause in Devotions. "Mabey," called her father, outside her bedroom door. There was no answer, so he called again. Still no reply. He pushed open the door, which was not completely shut, and reaching for the button, turned on the lights. Then he saw Mabel. She was kneeling at the side of her bed in her nightgown, in the attitude of prayer—the attitude that is, as to kneeling. But she had raised her head at the interruption and paused in her devotions to blaze at him with a face flushed with impatience. "Gee whiz, daddy! Can't a woman say her prayers?" Then she bowed her head again, plougly, and daddy, properly rebuilt, shinned miseriously away. The wrong food and drink causes a lot of trouble in this world. To change the food is the first duty of every person that is ill, particularly from stomach and p nervous troubles. As an illustration: A lady in Mo. has, with her husband, been brought around to health again by leaving off coffee and some articles of food that did not agree with them. They began using Postum and Grape-Nuts food. She says: "For a number of years I suffered with stomach and bowel trouble which kept getting worse. In all I was very ill most of the time. About four years ago I left off coffee and began taking Postum. My stomach and bowels improved right along, but I was so reduced in flesh and so nervous that the least thing would overcome me. "Then I changed my food and began using Grape-Nuts in addition to Postum. I lived on these two principally for about four months. Lay by day I gained in flesh and strength until now the nervous trouble has entirely disappeared and I feel that I owe my life and health to Postum and Grape-Nuts. "Husband is 73 years old and he was troubled for a long time with occasional cramps, and slept badly. Finally I prevailed upon him to leave off coffee and take Postum. He had stood out for a long time, but after he tried Postum for a few days he found that he could sleep and that his cramps disappeared. He was satisfied and has never gone back to coffee. "I have a brother in California who has been using Postum for several years; his whole family use it also because they have had such good results from it." Look in pikes. for the little book.

Peanuts cannot be eaten in St. Louis' trolley cars unless the peanutter carries away the shells. One recipe for getting popular is to be able to laugh heartily, when somebody tells an old story. Butter could fail another, cent or two without sending the butttermakers over the hills to the poorhouse. Another reason for the high price of food is that farmers are buying automobiles—and they need the money. It is said to be possible to go to the north pole by aeroplane.

The man who prays in public is the mouthpiece for the congregation that is either listening or praying with him. The essence of the people's silent prayers is concentrated in his. One of the most remarkable, as well as the quickest, retributions on record is that of the man in New York who, in trying to tunnel his way from his own place to a jewery store opposite, which he wished to loot, was buried alive in the grave of his own digging. Life would mean very much if such energy, originality, determination and readiness to take risks were displayed in a better cause. The prevalence of high prices for food articles is worldwide. The restaurant keepers in Berlin, Germany, are meeting the exigency in effective fashion by cutting down the portions served to customers instead of raising the rates. But these and other facts go to show that complaints of increased cost of living are not confined to the United States. To solve the problem the facts in every civilized country will have to be taken into consideration. The wireless operator who perpetrated the joke of sending out C. Q.

So ragtime cures insanity. Now we understand why it has sometimes taken an earthquake to far a man's acuity back into working order. Official Playing Schedule of the American League The Opening Games on April 14 are as follows: St. Louis at Chicago, Cleveland at Detroit, Philadelphia at Washington, Boston at New York. The only conflicting dates are at Chicago and St. Louis. 10 Clark Griffith, leader of the Reds, is determined to make Bob Bescher, his crack base-scaling outfielder, the Ty Cobb of the National league, and to this end is doing his best to make Bescher bat left-handed: Griffith sout Bescher a batting device, which originated in the fertile brain of "The Fox," with orders to stand up and whale away from the south side by the hour. The device consists of a regulation league ball, sewed inside an extra cover, to which stout rubber cords are attached. One of the cords is fastened to the ceiling and the other to the coor, so that the ball swings about waist high. When struck the flexible cord permits the ball to swing several yards, and it returns with great speed. Then it is time for the batter to get busy with the club and soak the sphere again. It surely promises large things for the batting eye. Boscher, who is a big, strong fellow, is naturally left-handed, but unfortu- ADOPT·168 GAME SCHEDULE American Association Clubs to Start Playing April 13 and Quit September 25. The American association at its meeting in Chicago adopted a schedule calling for 168 games. The season will open April 13 and close September 25. The ratification of the changes in the constitution was deferred until May 3, when a special session will be called by President Tom Chlvington. The changes are not radical, merely making a better working document. Following are the park openings: April 13—Indianapolis at Toledo, Louisville at Columbus, Minneapolis at Milwaukee and St. Paul at Kansas City. April 21—Indianapolis at Louisville. April 25—Columbus at Indianapolis, Milwaukee at Minnesota and Kansas City at St. Paul. Holiday dates follow: Decoration Day—Louisville at Columbus, Indianapolis at Toledo, Milwaukee at Kansas City, Minneapolis at St. Paul (morning) and St. Paul at Minneapolis (afternoon). Fourth of July—Toledo at Indianapolis, Columbus at Louisville, Milwaukee at Kansas City, St. Paul at Minneapolis (morning) and Minneapolis at St. Paul (afternoon). Labor Day—Louisville at Toledo, Columbus at Indianapolis, Kansas City at DID LANGFORD HOLD BACK? Boston "Tar Baby" Seemed to Be Under Wraps in Last Flynn Fight. An unexpected shock was given the flatie dope students who like to bet their dollars according to past performances when Sam Langford, the colored Boston terror, not only failed to stop Jim Flynn in a ten-round contest on the coast the other night, but was clearly worsted by the latter. In a former meeting Langford dropped Flynn for the full count in less than a round, and naturally everybody supposed that he would have no trouble in whipping the Denver man when they crossed arms again. It is rumored that Langford fought according to instructions and deliberately refrained from doing his best in the second round with Flynn, and there are many who give full credence to the report. This may be an injustice to the black pugilist, but it is hard to understand such a complete reversal of form without being suspicious that all was not as it should be. Langford has had an nately he was coached to bat right handed, when a kid, and has swung from the far side of the plate ever since. He is so fast that he would beat out many an infield hit batting left-handed, and he has the strength in his left arm to do it, as soon as he gets accustomed to the shift. Griffith has ordered Bescher to bat from the left side only with the new machine, and says he is confident he will have a wonder in the youngster when the season opens. Griffith has let a contract for a pitcher's target to be used by the Red twirlers at Hot Springs. It is a sort of shooting gallery with moving swings in which two discs hang from wires and are made to swing. The pitcher takes his stand at the regulation distance and tries to hit the spot on the target. An arrangement has been perfected whereby the balls will roll back to the pitchers. Griffith says he will have a scorer watch the men and make a daily report showing the number of "strikes" and "balls."

In addition to adopting a schedule of 154 games the American league, which was in session at the same time, adopted the report of a committee which favored retention of the present style of spikes. The new agreement of the eight clubs was adopted for 20 years and Byron, B. Johnson was re-elected president for a term of 20 years at a salary of $15,000 annually and expenses.

Proctor, whose home is in Elkhart, proposes to come to the aid of the baseball fans of Indiana in the event the state S supreme court declares the existing baseball law unconstitutional. Mr. Proctor is an enthusiastic fan, he said: "I shall draft a measure and introduce it in the next session of the legislature providing that the question be submitted to the people for a vote as to whether or not Sun day playing shall be allowed." George Davis Released.

It is bel- loved Davis will manage an Eastern league team. awful time getting matches of late. His name appears to have frightened off, the majority of the fighters in his class. Will Make Lots of Errors. More errors will be made in baseball this season. The rules committee, without doing anything sensational in the way of tinkering with the rules, simply slammed the error column. Wild pitches and passed balls will be charged to the pitcher and catcher as errors. Good-by clean fielding percentages to pitchers and good-luck for the summary man, as these plays will be eliminated from the summary. Has Collins Beached Limit? If Eddie Collins were to improve as much in 1910 as he did in 1909, he'd bat about 420 on the season and steal about 150 bases. Could it be possible or has he reached his limit? "Rube" Waddell is Divorced. George Edward ("Rube") Waddell eccentric pitcher of the St. Louis Browns, was granted a divorce by default in 25 minutes from Mrs. May Waddell. No action was taken by the association, on the request from the stewards of the grand circuit that horses be eligible to start on half mile tracks in classes four seconds slower than on mile track records. It was decided that trotting associations in Ohio might join either the National association or the American association as they desired. In all pursues five entries will be required and two to start, unless otherwise specified. It was also decided that "if only one of the horses entered for a purse shall appear on the course he shall be entitled to his own entrance money and to one-half of the entrance money received from the othr entries for said purse." Representatives of 381 tracks attended the meeting. President P. P. Johnston of Lexington, Ky., was reelected, and the association adjourned until its next biennial session in 1912. The Harvester, owned by August Uhlein of Milwaukee, and driven by the veteran reinsman, Ed Geers, will be sent against the world's stallion record next season. The mark is now held by Cresceus. The Harvester will also be entered in the important stakes on the Grand Circuit during 1910. Mr. Geers has been in Milwaukee and made all arrangements with Mr. Uhlein for The Harvester's campaign during the season. James B. Haggin, for a long time the most extensive, breeder of thoroughbreds in this country, will race a considerable string of horses over the tracks of the Jockey club this season. Several years ago the orange and blue silk of the Haggin establishment were famous but in recent years Mr. Haggin has turned his attention, more to the breeding and marketing of horses than racing. He will come back to the sport with a string of a dozen horses of his own breeding that are at present in the care of the veteran trainer, Charles Littlefield, at Sheepshead Bay. Lasker Retains His Title. Dr. Emmanuel Lasker of New York, retains the title of chess champion of the world.

Schwab was talking about sport. "The French," he said, with a laugh, "are the great sportsmen. 'Le sport' that is their adoration. "I'll never forget how I watched one whole afternoon from the Casino ter- race of Monte Carlo a couple of Frenchmen in a boat shooting sea gulls. The blue Mediterranean was dotted with the beautiful white dead birds. They were, of course, no use to anybody. "I know a man who joined a great crowd about a sewer grating in the Rue St. Honore, in Paris. "An excited Frenchman, was fishing through the grating. He lowered a strong hook baited with meat, and every three or four minutes he brought up, squealing and wriggling, a fat rat. So he had 20 or 40 rats living at his feet. The crowd was beside itself with season. 2 Earl Bitting of Philadelphia, who last year startled big league scouts by his brilliant playing at third base, has been signed by Manager McGuire to play with the Cleveland club, of the American league. His contract was arranged by Sam Kennedy, one of the Naps' scouts. Bitting is 18 years old and the youngest player in the major leagues. His batting average last year in a Philadelphia school league was 427. TIM HURST SAYS THERE WAS ONE UMPIRE WORSE THAN HE "There was one unpimp worse than me," relates Tim Hurst, who lost his job in the American League for spitting in a player's face. "His name was Collins, and he and I were sent to umpire a series in Baltimore many years ago. It was his first game, and he was sufficiently bad. I think he got one decision right, though. Finally he pulled a bad one over at third and Robbie-Wilbert Robinson—ran at him and said: "You big, stiff, get off the grounds.' "I was umpiring' balls and strikes and I looked around and there he was walking off the field. I headed him off and said: "Where are you going?' "To the hotel, says he. "What for?" "Why, the captain just ordered me off the grounds," he answered. "It took me five minutes to get him to stick, and the next day he didn't show up at all, nor have I seen him since."

Far-away India will probably send a team of championship-polo players to America to compete against the stars of the east and the west.

The Stone Thrower By CLAUDE ROBERTSON There's a boy in the strawberry bed! Next to the Widow Penwick's country home he was the college of Mr. Davi, and between the two was a large strawberry bed. This summer the Davi family was away among relatives in the west, and before going to work understood that the strawberry bed was to go to the Penwick for the pleasing. Miss Nellie Penwick had pushed her way through the Ditchs more than once while the vines were in blossom to weed the grass and dead vines. "Tramp—strawberry "What—is he back "He is—some one the most beautiful he ever saw, and I beli him this time!" "So he had the chee Well, I'll show him beds in this neighbor to all. Come on." "Miss Nellie—whizz whit stones left the hand girl and she was ab fifth when the umbrella creaked." The bad boy of the village had come with the first berries. He had come to eat his fill, but Mollie, the French cook, had given the alarm and made Nellie had rushed out. She had no spooner to overtake a barefoot boy, and her voice was too gentle to trighten him. She had, the step, thrown stones at him from behind a screen of houses. She could catch him at that. She had dropped the first under his nose, taken his cup off with the second, and with the third she had sent him away howling. The boy had returned next day and the next. He had seen the girl in the act of throwing. He had been taught to believe that no girl ever born could hit a hairstyle 20 feet away with a tense. He had been hit, but he had it to accident. He was hit again, and with his bowed and fled, but he would not believe until after the third trial. Then he got a missile on the cat and persecuted to find safer plumber. Four days had passed when the cook came running in to give the alarm. "She had caught sight of another trespasser. She couldn't throw for shucks herself, and it was her duty to report to one who could. "Back again, is he?" exclaimed the girl, as she started up. "Now, then, you gather a whole apron of stones and I'll show him that I'm in earnest." When Miss Nellly reached the bushes and carefully peeped over, she saw a human form on its knees among A woman is planting a tree in a garden. She is wearing a long dress and has a headband. There are flowers and plants in the background. Carefully Peeped Over. The yines. That human form was gobbling down her strawberries. She had counted on a strawberry short-cake for dinner that night. The cook stood there loaded with ammunition. Miss Nellle selected four or five stones and drew a long breath, and away they went one after the other. The human form uttered a yell of astonishment and a grunt of pain and rolled over to scramble up again and make off behind the other house. "There!" shouted the girl, as she waved her hand in triumph. "Did you see him?" asked the cook. "I saw a bundle of something on the fly." "Well, let me tell you it wasn't that toy or any other toy. It wasn't a cat or a dog. It wasn't a gander or a rooster. It was a man. Yes, sir, it was a man, and he wasn't an old one at that." "But what was he doing here? I mean, if he was stealing my strawberries I'm glad I hit him. It was some trump, probably." The two waited around for a spell, prepared for a second bombardment, but the trump had enough and nothing more was seen of him. It was three o'clock the next afternoon when Miss Nelle was doing in her hammock on the veranda that the cook came out on tiptoe to shake the girl by the shoulder and whisper: Royal Christmas Festival. Queen Adelaide, the wife of William IV, was fond of children, and it was her unending sorrow that her own two little ones died in their infancy. Every Christmas eve, when the court was in residence at the brighton pavilion, the queen used to have an enormous Christmas tree prepared, lit with countless colored candles and hung with gift pears, walnuts and apples, while there were innumerable presents on it for the ladies in waiting and the invited guests. The chief feature of this Christmas festival was the large number of children who were invited. The Christmas tree stood in the "dragon room" at the pavilion, so called from the ceiling being decorated with big Chinese dragons, which supported the glass chandeliers. The children walked into the dragon room by two, and latter being kissed by the king and james, each was allowed to and his or her own table. Tiny tables were dotted about the room, with each child's name pinned on it, and they were covered with all kinds of bonnets and roos. "Trump—strawberry bed—stones!" "What is he back?" "He is—some one! I've collected the most beautiful heap of stones you ever saw, and I believe you can kill him this time." "So he had the check to come back? Well, I'll show him that strawberry beds in this neighborhood are not free to all. Come on." "Whizz—whizz—whizz—w-h-l-z-z! The stones left the hand of the indignant girl and she was about to throw the fifth one when the cook caught her arm and exclaimed: "That's enough, Miss Nelle—you've bowled him over!" So she had. The human form was lying on its side, and a leg was kicking now and then. Miss Nelle was frightened. She turned pale and whispered: "Molly, suppose I've killed him!" "Club! You can't kill a tramp with an ax. He's just stunned. He'll come to directly and take a skate." But he didn't. They waited five minutes and then pushed their way through the bushes and came upon a slight to make them gasp. It was a young man lying among the strawberries, and he was bleeding profusely from a wound in the temple. He was the one stoned the day before, but he was far from being a tramp. "Quick—to the house and get a bandage and some water!" ordered Miss Nellie as soon as she could make out what had happened. And while the cook was gone she did her best to stun the flow with her handkerchief. The victim moaned, but did not open his eyes. When the cook returned, the wound was bathed and bandaged. During this operation the tearful, trembling mistress of the kitchen whispered: "If he's dead, Miss Nellie, and they go to hang you, I lie and say that I threw the stones!" She was sent to notify the stable man, and he in turn stopped a passerby on the highway, and the still unconscious victim was carried to the house and laid on a bed. Then the doctor was telephoned for. Fifteen minutes after his arrival he had restored the young man to his senses. Then he gave him an opiate. He heard the story of the stone-throwing and then gravely replied: "You might have killed him. As it is, he will live, but he must remain here for at least a week, and during that time you must be his nurse. In fact, I don't know but what you'll have to marry him in the end. You see, he can bring a charge of attempted assassination against you and send you to prison, or the wound may result in loss of memory unless you two fail in love." The girl ran away, blushing poppy red, but there was no doubt that she had some little curiosity regarding her patient. This could not be gratified until next day, when she carried in his chicken broth, with her mother chaperoning her on one side and the cook on the other. Mr. Clarence Dart, as he proved to be, was weak but smiling. The doctor had ways about him. He now put one of his ways forward by keeping that young man in bed for four days when he was able to walk. Then he insisted that he play convescent and sit on the veranda with a pillow behind his back for a sweep, and that, after being able to play croquet and walk two, miles without stopping for breath, he should visit the widow's house once a day and do a heap of talking to the daughter. That daughter finally stopped him one day as he was passing and asked: "Doctor, do you regard Mr. Dart as thoroughly cured?" "No, ma'am, I don't," was the prompt reply, "he is in love with you, and if you don't say yes within a fortnight he's liable to go into convulsions and swallow his Adam's apple." Mr. Dart was not called upon to convulse. Japanese Swords Unlike the famous blades of Tatou and Damascus, Japanese swords are not flexible or elastic. They are unqualified for strength and hardness, and hold a keen edge. Japanese steel is said to excel even Swedish steel in purity. The manufacture of the swords is an elaborate process. Some ceremonials and superstitious practices are intermixed with the scientific operations. The sword hardener is regarded as the most important personage connected with the manufacture. It is his name that is inscribed on the hilt and his reputation that enhances the value of a sword. Those who shape the blade, sharpen, and adorn it are of minor importance. Foreign Substances Left Inside Patients. The annals of surgery contain more than one case of death being caused by a careless physician leaving some instrument or foreign substance in a patient's anatomy after an operation. A piece of gauge, a tiny sponge, an eyewear clamp and, in one instance, a pair of eyeglasses sown up in a wound has caused death a few hours after an operation. To prevent such incidents, as these New York surgeons are using at every operation blackboards, upon which, every article that is used and placed in the patient is numbered and chalked down by an attendant, and then checked off as it is removed. This prevents the smallest article from being left in a patient.

I excel us nearer to our original The pessimist to composition, and so to an appreciation of the simpler and less elaborate facts of existence. Deer stalking, as a whole, is not in these days the arduous pursuit that it was when Charles St. John pursued the muckle hart with such fear. Now, one reaches the far beat in a motor car, and bifidhepids facilitate the ascent of a steep hill. There is no particular reason that I can see why these facts should be so hardly commented on by certain critics. Such methods of transportation are inveighed against, and those who make use of them are covered with abuse. "Look," say these gentlemen, "how all our sportsmen are deteriorating." Then they playfully allude to tame deer, gorged thousands, etc. Such a one was probably he who penned the famous line, "The crack of the rifle was early heard on the stubble!" I do not suppose that one of them, for instance, would rise at five o'clock in the morning with the prospect of a hard day's stalking in front of him, merely for the pleasure of saying that he had walked to the far beat, when by getting up a couple of hours later he would reach the ground at the same time and start fresh. Many comment adversely on deer stalking, "for," they say, "it gives me no pleasure to be preceded by a trained stalker who tells me what and what not to do, polls out which stag to shoot, and whose comments are of necessity circumscribed by my attitude and the accuracy of my shot." This is the chief argument against stalking, and there is much truth in it, though there are compensations. When the stalk is done for you the lack of responsibility sets one free to appreciate to the full the beauties by which one is surrounded. This may be a very minor consideration to many; but the fact remains that when one's whole attention is concentrated on the circumvention of a particular stag, not much time is left for anything else. If your stag escapes, there is not the same sense of blank despair as when it is entirely one's own fault and the stalk conducted in person throughout. One perhaps agrees when the stag of the season has departed over the march in undisturbed possession of his hinds and head, in lofty scorn of your marksmanship, with the man who wrote to his friend after some such occurrence. "You may depend upon it that roach-fishing from a punt is the thing after all!" That at all events was my feeling one day at the beginning of October. We had passed up one of the most beautiful glens in Scotland. The river lay far beneath us, hurrying between gray lichen-covered rocks over which the guarded and storm-tossed firs stood guardian. Little babbling barks made unequal music about us, and covered with their spray the clustered fern clumps, which peered shyly from about their banks. It was a day on which I thauked Providence and a kind host that I was alive. And this, even though the stalker was a confirmed pessimist. I had admiringly watched him perform a conjuring trick, by which in one swift movement he had transferred his glass from its case to his eye, and wondered. "See anything?" I inquired, cheer fully. "There's na a gude beest on the ground," was the discouraging rejolder. We walked to a neighboring hill top. The conjuring trick was repeated. Then I felt a tug at my sleeve Heat from the Stars. From time to time scientist endeavor to measure the heat radiated from some of the brightest stars. One of the most successful efforts in this direction was prosecuted under the direction of the astronomers at the Verkers observatory. With the aid of an apparatus recalling the principle of the Crookes radiometer, they have ascertained that the star Vega, which shines very brilliantly near the zenith in midsummer evenings, sends to the earth an amount of heat equal to that of an ordinary candle six miles distant. Arcturus, the star celebrated by Job, which has a somewhat fiery color, radiates about twice as much heat as Vega- Harper's Weekly. "Schoolgirl Gush." It is customary to speak with aontempt of "schoolgirl gush," but it is a mistake, we are told by those who have taken the trouble to study that unfortunate being who stands with reluctant feet where the brook and river meet. Her wild adorations and lavish devotions, sudden, changeable and extreme, are a matter of brain de- and found an cager gille gille pointing to a distant ridge. On the ridge was a stag. Such a stag, too! There's a grand stag." I exclimated. The pessimist took a long look. "Aye," said he, after a pause. I wouldn't say it was a guido stag; but it's no ha-ad staag." "Can we get at him?" I inquired. "He's just on the mairch," said the pessimist. "If we move him he'll probably come into this ground," I suggested, hopefully. "It's a verra ha-ad wind," said the oracle. "We never can do anything at al in the corle with this wind." I gave it up after that. We had a long walk round the top of the corrie, frightening on the way a squaking group of pearmligan, who scuttled about among the rocks at our feet. The pessimist was a very good stalker, and within an hour we were cautiously propelling ourselves down the hillside with our elbows and heels, just above the deer. In the peat bogs below we exchanged our previous motive power for hands and knees. The pessimist peered through a tuft of grass. "Quick!" he said. "Oh! mon! Fifty yards off a hind watched us. The stag's horns were just vanishing over the ridge. With extreme disfavor the pessimist regarded the hind before us. Then he applied the glass to his eye. Presently he delivered himself with crushing scorn. In a tone of intense conviction he remarked: "Yon is a bee-astly hind!" It was. velopment, say the physiologists, and she should not be blamed, still less despised, for them. The parts of the brain which pertain to the emotions are growing a little faster than the rest, and it would be a miracle if cool and calm collectedness were the result. Any blame that is going in the matter should be given to those persons—parents, teachers and elders generally—who snub and repress the unfolding flower and do not take advantage of their opportunities to gain the devotion so early bestowed and thus prevent its being lavisbed on unworthy objects. Massachusetts Forest Fires. It is estimated that the loss to the state from forest fires in Massachusetts in 1909, amounts to $236,478. There were 1,531 different fires, and the number of acres burned over was 42,808. Analyzing these figures, the state forester finds that the careless smoker who persists in the habit in woodlands or passing through the country during the dry time is the greatest menace to future forestry in Massachusetts. THE BOY APPETITE THE BOY APPETITE WHY MEN OF MILLIONS ENVIED COMPANION. All of Them Had Cash to Buy Anything That the World Could Produce, But Not That One Thing. Simmons is private secretary, to a well-known business man, and he had just explained to a couple of friends that the reason he had been unable to see them during the previous week was that his evenings had been occupied in taking down the minutes of a couple of important conferences in which his boss figured. "And I bit bet," said Huntley, enviously, "that they didn't do a thing but talk money, and that they threw around the millions the same as we would nickels." "No," said Simmons slowly, "the money talk wasn't very enthusiastic. Of course the business was important, but it consisted mostly of considering and disposing of reports. I wished lots of times I was home in my bed before it was over. Probably they did, too, for the only time they grew at all animated was the last evening, when the discussion drifted into the matter of eating. That was after the business was concluded." "And of course," said Huntley, "it was nothing but terrapin and truffles and champagne and French messes that cost a dollar a minute to look at. That's all those fellows eat. They wouldn't enjoy it unless it cost a lot of money." "You're away off," said Simmons. "The talk about eating wasn't considerable and wouldn't bring them into conflict with the interstate commerce art, so I can tell you what it was. The old man started it by saying, 'How, I was upstate recently and I had a feed that would knock your eye out.'" "Don't give us that," said Huntley, contemptuously, "that old fellow wouldn't eat anywhere except in the Plaztoria or some such place." "Well, he did this time, and when he spoke the others sat up and listened. He said: Yes, I had a regular old fashioned food. Hot boiled ham, hot corn, bread with lots of good butter, apple sauce and tea. I ate till I was ashamed of myself, and I don't know when anything tasted better, slipped down easier, or digged so goofingly. I'd like to have an appetite like that every day and the same kind of good grub to satisfy it." "And they gave him the laugh for being a vulgarian, I suppose?" said Huntley. "This kind of didn't," said Simmons decidedly, "Old Cash the banker shook his head enviously and said: You lucky dgd! I like to be up against the same thing in a country farmhouse right now." "That's where the boss got it, you know. He was a country boy and he was eating, probably, the very thing that appealed to him when he was a kid. The thing the others envied was that his boy's appetite came back to him and he had the very thing to satisfy it. But they knew, also, that the appetite and the food can't be had in combination in New York." Greece Remembers Byron. The centenary of Lyron's arrival in Greece was celebrated at Missolonghi with great solemnity, the town being decorated for the occasion. All the local authorities, the archbishop, and the clergy, the troops of the garrison, and a great crowd from all the neighboring districts, assembled in the public garden in the afternoon, where the students from the gymnasium and the children from all the schools marched in procession to the poet's statue, on which they deposited a wreath. Speeches were delivered, and a hymn to Lyron by the Greek poet, Solemos, was sung. The mayor addressed a dispatch to the British minister in Athens expressing the deep gratitude of the inhabitants for the immortal benefactor, whose remains repose in their keeping. Portuguese Conspiracy. The murder at Ciscaes of a man operated in stalking cartridges from the Lishon custom house has led to the discovery of a vast conspiracy to overthrow existing institutions in Portugal. A number of secret clubs are said to be implicated, and quantities of masks, long cloaks, and disguises, as well as custom dressing goggles, and other arms, have been seized. Several arrests have been made, and some of the prisoners have made significant confessions. In the course of their investigations the police learned that the murdered man and others belonged to the Republican clubs, which are divided into secret societies for the purposes of overthrowing existing institutions. Houceless Embassies. Frederick Townsend Martin, at a dinner in Washington, said of the movement toward the governmental purchase of embassy buildings for its ambassadors! "France, I see, has just bought the Farnese palace in Rome for her embassy. Spain, little Spain, owns that mansehunt palace in the Piazza di Spagna, near Platea's library. And we—what have we?" "After all," said Mr. Martin, smiling, "it isn't true that it makes no difference where a man resides. How many of us know a single thing about Diogenes except that he lived in a tub?" In Conflict with Critics Between the whole press of Copenhagen and all the theatrical managers, a curious contest has started because the managers want to compel the critics to write only favorable noises. The contest, began when the board of theatrical managers forbade the admission of one critic representing a special theatrical paper. About Aviation "Do you know anything about the cost of flying?" "No, but I can tell you all about the cost of not flying." "The cost of not flying?" "Yes, I was introduced to a widow yesterday, and instead of flying I stopped to talk to her; now I am engaged." Everything Was Taxed in England During Napoleonic Wares—Incomes Paid Ten Per Cent. The Briflacher is the most cheerful taxpayer in the world so long as he believes he is getting good value for his money. "All the same, he is not nearly so badly fleeced as were his fathers and forefathers before him. In the days of the Napoleonic wars the income tax was ten per cent, on the pound. Moreover, small incomes as well as large were subject to the impost, this rate applying to all incomes of $1,000 and upward. At the same time nearly every article of general use or consumption was not spared, and sugar was made to yield a larger return per pound that its full cost to the consumer of today. The fashion of wearing wigs was much in vogue in those days, and every man who indulged in the luxury of powdering his wig was mulled in the tax of $5 per annum for doing so. The powdering of the wig was a universal practice among all but the lower classes, so the revenue from this source alone must have been handsome. No man could wear a hat without a license, in the shape of a government stamp placed inside it, and that stamp, of course, cost money. A tax was even squeezed out of that useful and inoffensive article, the household clock. Every one that ticked—or did not tick, for that matter—was madd to yield $1.25 to the gold watches were taxed, and anybody who wished to wear a golden timepiece had to pay $2.50 per annum for the privilege. In still earlier times, the poll tax was the favorite method of revenue raising. Each individual paid according to his position in the world, the heaviest tax being paid by those of the most exalted stations. Thus the amount levied on dukes was about $20 per head and earms $20 per head; with a descending scale, which amounted to no more than a modest 80 cents, when it touched the squires. Two centuries and a decade ago that scheme gave place to another and in some respects more equitable one. This compelled every abbot-bodied man to contribute two cents' per week to the national exchequer. Clerics and tutors whose incomes were more than $40 per annum were called upon, for $5 per quarter—Tit-Bits. Origin of Common Phrase. It is generally assumed that the expression "to the bitter end" is of manual origin. When there is no windlass on board a ship, the cable is fastened to pieces of wood called bits, so that when the whole of the rope is payed out the seamur has reached the bitter end, or in other words, he has done all that is possible. The phrase should be "to the better end," and across from the fact that when the cable of a ship had been payed out to its fullest extent, it had run out to the end which was little used, and therefore to the better end. The latter is probably the correct term, as it is used by Defoe in "Robinson Crusoe," when he describes the storm off Yarmouth. He says: "We rode with two anchors ahead and two anchors veered out to the better end." While, on the other hand, Dr. Brewer calls attention to Proverbs 54. "The end is bitter as wormwood," and suggests that possibly the origin of the phrase lies therein. Spectacular Scene at Fire Sensational scenes were witnessed at a fire which broke out recently in the St. Petersburg palace of Grand Duke Nicholas Nicolaievitch, which contains great art treasures and much valuable plate. Several notable pictures by Rubens and Watteau, valued at more than $65,000, were destroyed. Two servants perished in the flames, while many were injured. Some 15 persons endeavored to escape by fleeing across the iron roof of the burning palace, which, after the cutting of the electric cables, suddenly became electrified. The refugees appeared to be suffering fearfully from the electric shocks, and were seen to dance grotesquely amid the rising flames. They were eventually saved by the fire brigade, the members of which donned india rubber shoes. Discovered the Reason. Eugene W. Chalfin, the famous prohibitionist, was congratulated, at a dinner in Chicago, on his discovery in the Washington capitol of the fact that Jefferson's portrait was labeled Patrick Henry and vice versa. "Yes, they made a ludicrous mistake there in Washington," said Mr. Chalfin. "It reminds me of a mistake a boy made in Waukesha. "When I practiced law in Waukesha, I often went skating in brisk weather like this. Well, one afternoon a young swell in a Norfolk jacket skated by me; he was towing a girl who held on by the jacket's belt. "A young Waukesha, observing this performance, said to me: "Wall, by jinks! I've often wondered what belly bands was for, and now, by jinks! I know." Safe and Sane. Mediocrity, because democracy makes it the fountain of accepted belief, may be what it will, and it elects to be all that is good and beautiful. In the opinion of four cylinders, six cylinders are inevitably madness, and that dispose of genius at once. The world trusts genius to crack its jokes and sing its songs, but not to marry its daughters or go on the road to sell its goods. Genius has all along put truth above consistency and now it is saying there's a category even higher than truth. Pragmatism, some call it. That shows where society would be landed, only for the saving sanity which is mediocrity — Puck. Roundabout Way to Happiness. If everything in the holy state of matrimony went on too smoothly we should not be aware of how happy we are. We should not realize that a horse was well trained if horses never never run away. We should never know that marriage makes for long life were it not that there are indefental troubles which sometimes shorten it. OLD ITALIAN FEAST IS THAT IN HONOR OF HOLY MARY OF THE CHAINS. Had Its Origin in Years Long Past, Based on Miracle That Neapolitans Continue to Have Moet Devout Belief In. One of the oldest and strangest foasts that take place in Naples is the one in honor of Santa Maria della Catena (Holy Mary of the Chains). It occurs the last Sunday in August in front of the church dedicated to her, facing the sea at Santa Lucia. Soon after daybreak crowds of people Bine the embankment opposite the church, dressed in strange paper costumes, adorned with squigs and crackers, some carrying umbrellas of the same material and with some adornments, others large baskets with fruit decorated likewise with fireworks. At the first stroke of the church bell for early mass the fireworks are let off, the fruit baskets emptied on the ground, over the contents of which hundreds of children begin to light undaunted by the pals of water which are freely emptied over them. A second bell is the signal for hundreds of the crowd to throw themselves in various states of dress or dress from the embankment into the sea, women and children included. Invalids even are brought to take a dip and those who are unable to swim are assisted by others. This practice originated in the faith that the sea water on the last Sunday in August is a sure remedy against infirmity, present and future. The Madonna della Catena is believed to work the miracle she did centuries ago, when the church was built in her honor, according to the following legend: At the time when the shores of the Mediterranean were infested with pirates some inhabitants of Santa Lucia were captured by the Turks and a heavy ransom was demanded for their躲藏. Some fishermen, with the aid of the statue of the Madonna, which they had opportunely found near the seashore, succeeded in collecting the amount asked for the release of their captured friends. 'The pirates were asked to bring their prisoners and to receive their ransom on a certain day, which happened to be the last Sunday in August. The pirates, however, fearing some treachery, but not wishing to return the prisoners, took them to the seashore at some distance from Santa Lucia and having claimed them hand and foot, threw them into the sea. The people of Santa Lucia, nowwithstanding the distance and the chains, succeeded in having them, and attributed this to a miracle of the Madonna, in whose name the ransom had been collected, and in her honor a church was erected in the year 1776.' Origin of Blind Man's Buff. Folk lore experts are well nigh agreed in believing that this game can be traced back to very ancient rites connected with prehistoric worship. Disguisines were common among our Gothic ancestors during the Yuletide festival. The person hoodwinked or blinded—for the monks at one time used their hoods for that purpose—often assumed the appearance of some animal—a goat; a stag, or a cow. This is confirmed by the German Jubok, the goat of Yuletide, as well as by drawings in Strut's "Manners and Customs," and facsimiles of some old ones in the Bodleian manuscripts. In these the covering for the head is complete, and represents an animal, and the game itself is played by adults. Prof. Child connects the game with the northern Odin, the blind deity. In Scotland it is often called "Blind Hlind"—that is, hairy, from the shaggy "animals" represented. The game was not unknown to the Greeks and Romans. Rudbeck supposes it was handed down from Bacchus, and that blinding was a part of the Bacchanallian orgies. Another Red Tape Triumph. That the methods of the famous "captain" of Koenpenick may still be applied with success in Germany is demonstrated by a comp which a clever swindler effected at the village of Geinsheim, on the Rhine. Between five and six o'clock in the evening a young man presented himself at the house of a village tax collector as an auditor from the exohequer office at Darmstadt, the capital of the grand duchey of Hesse, to which Geinsheim belongs. On the strength of a letter (which he produced) purporting to give information of irregularities in the village tax office, he inspected the books and cash, added by the tax collector. The hogus auditor declared the books were in order and, with many apologies, tomm his leave. The tax collector subsequently looked up the cash box, and found $500 was missing. Inquiries at Darmstadt showed that Geinsheim had shared the fate of Koenpenick. Who Are the Murphys? Concerning the name of Murphy, the following remarks by the earl of Courtown are interesting; Murphy is the Anzlecised form of MacMurrough, the last acknowledged king of Lehner. On the death of Dermot MacMurrough, the last acknowledged king of Lehner, his right by English law passed to his only legitimate child, Eva, wife of Richard de Clare, earl of Pembroke, known as Strongbow. The legitimate male line was continued in the descendants of Dermot's brother, Morrogh, who continued to hold lands in North Wexford. This name is by far the most numerous in Ireland, and is found in every part of it. Old Malds' Beds. "This is our special old maid's bed," said the salesman. "We are selling it like hot cakes.

My body and face were covered with sores. One day it would seem to be better, and then break out again with the most terrible pain and itching. I have been sick several times, but never in my life did I experience such awful suffering as with this eczema. I had made up my mind that death was near at hand, and I longed for that time when I would be at rest. I had tried many different doctors and medicines without success, and my mother brought me the Cuticura Remedies, insisting that I try them. I began to feel better after the first bath with Cuticura Soap, and one application of Cuticura Ointment. "I continued with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and have taken four bottles of Cuticura Resolvedit, and consider myself well. This was nine years ago and I have had no return of the trouble since. Any person having any doubt about this wonderful cure by the Cuticura Remedies can write to my address.
