THE GAZETTE TWENTY-EIGHTH·YEAR. NO. 2. M. H. By JULIA BOTTOMLEY. The veil for summer is the alriest of creations, falling about the brim of hats and over faces and floating free to the summer winds. Dots, set on, have been shown less favor than lace patterns on a net ground or large meshed nets with figures woven in. Those veils which are not of the floating kind are of the latter variety and are worn with wide-brimmed hats and drawn to the back and under the collar. It requires some care to pin and adjust them correctly, and getting under them is a matter that consumes time. They are very neat in appearance, however, and very becoming. Hence their wearers are willing to put in the necessary time to adjust and readjust them. The lace veils show light pattern having a scroll border and butterflies, birds or even tiny chanticlers woven in. The heavy figures proved too un- PARISIAN MODEL This model is of batiste made with tucks and finished in front with a band of embroidery and a plaited frill of the batiste. The epaulets and deep cuffs are also tucked and the rather full sleeves are encircled with bands of the embroidery. Pretty work to keep on hand for summer and to get ready for the next gift occasion is the shirtwaist frill of sheer handkerchief linen and its buttons made to match. The scalloped edge of a graduated strip for the frill is done in china-blue embroidery cotton and a set of six buttons for the front box plait of the shirtwaist completes the gift. Cover button molds with china-blue linen worked with white cotton. These two, mounted upon tissue paper (after the frill is pressed into plaits) and boxed, make a most attractive little gift and represent hours well spent. A pretty and odd finish is given to the belt of many a Russian blouse by a touch of red leather. Sometimes it is just an oblong piece of leather sewed on the belt, at the back where the blouse is fastened to coat. Sometimes patches of leather are sewed on the front where the belt fastens. While these may be used on a coat of any color with which red may be combined, it is particularly effective on blouses of black and white shepherd's checks. Needlework for Gifts. Red Leather Belts. becoming to meet with anything like general favor. They were, in fact, disfiguring. Black chantilly and white wash nets with scroll borders are the most popular of floating veils, and fancy large-meshed nets hold first place in the others. The net veils just described have been adopted for mourning wear as cooler than the usual mourning fabrics, for those people who must be out a great deal. They are bordered with bands of crape or with sluk grenadine or other mourning fabric. Rows of grosgrain ribbon, graduated in width or otherwise, are also used as a border finish. Veils of this kind hang straight from the hat brim and reach below the bust line. A wide-brimmed sailor for general wear, trimmed with a band and adorned with a white net veil is about as satisfactory as any hat can be. BLOUSES THAT ARE POPULAR Very Attractive and Becoming Designs Are Being Introduced This Season. Overblouse effects are extremely popular this summer, and some very attractive and becoming designs of this order are being introduced. The waist may, of course, be worn with any preferred skirt of harmonizing design, either attached in semi-princess style or adjusted separately. A French lining forms the basis of many of the waists, serving as a foundation for the underbody, which will prove the most effective if made of allover lace, net or tucking, the standing color being of the same material. The waist proper is tucked from both shoulder seams in front and back, the front tucks terminating either at bust depth or at the waistline as preferred. At the neck edge it is cut in circular fashion, with a deeply pointed opening at the center front. The sleeve caps may be made with or without an opening to correspond. Two sleeve models are given for the underbody. The one-seam fitted sleeves may be made in full or shorter length while the puff sleeves are in elbow length only. The present season is very prolific in pretty fabrics that would be entirely appropriate for the purpose. Silk, cashmere, albatross, messalline, shantung, foulard and chiffon pongee are advantageously used. Hats for Young Girls. Many flounced hats are being worn by young girls, the materials being lace or plaited chiffon over lace. The forms these hats take are extremely diversified, some of them being tall, inverted pot, shapes, with seven or eight inch lace flounces draped from the top of the high crown and falling an inch or more below the brim all round. Festcoats of baby rosebuds not larger in diameter than half an inch are used around the tops of the crowns of such lace hats; or a single tinted gardenia with foliage is placed at the left side of the front.—Harper's Bazar. Tip on Scalp Massage. A skillful doctor of the scalp says she gets best results for the hair by working freely on the muscles that run down the neck at each side just under the ears. These connect closely with the blood vessels in the scalp and blood is forced up into healthy life. When electricity is used women who can stand little of it on the head can have it applied through tips of fingers on these neck muscles.

Mayor William J. Gaynor of New York, who was shot and seriously wounded as he stood on the promemde deck of the steamship Kalser Wilhelm der Grosse, by James J. Gallagher, a discharged and disgruntled city employee, will probably recover unless blood poisoning develops. The surgeons are hopeful of the mayor's recovery, although at his age—fifty-nine years—such a wound is essentially grave. Jake L. Hamon of Lawton, the man who Senator Gore swore had attempted to bribe him and who Congressman Creager sald had made improper overtures in order to influence Creager's support in legislation of interest to Hamon, testified before the congressional committee at Muskogee, Okla, declaring that the story told by Creager was untrue and that when Gore said that he, Hamon, had borrowed money from Gore, the senator told that which was false. W. R. Michaells, publisher of the Chicago Staats Zeitung, was drowned at Opamag lake, a few miles from Deposit, N.

McMurray was in Washington last May urging the approval of his contracts by which he and his associates would be able to secure a $3,600,000 fee on the sale of $30,000,000 worth of land owned by the Indians, the Indians themselves were being urged to send telegrams to Washington recommending the sale. Rev. James Oglech of the All Saints' Servian Orthodox church in St. Louis, Mo., has started suit against his congregation for $1,375, alleged to be salary due for the last eighteen months. A steamer arriving at Boston brings the information that a sailor some time ago jumped into the Red sea while crazed by heat and was found afloat a few hours later fighting with a knife an enormous shark that sought to devour him. William J. Blake, thirty-six years old, who is under arrest in New York, is accused by Mrs. Margaret Easton, a widow living in Brooklyn, of obtaining $2,000 from her while a lodger in her home.

General Weyler's order that the soldiers shoot to kill on the first provocation insured peace. His action in sending cavalry to Sobankan and near towns stopped all the efforts of the so-called Carlists. The birthplace of Rutherford B Hayes, nineteenth president of the United States, was destroyed by fire at Delaware, O. The building was a two-story lick, 100 years old. Not only Jacob L. Hannon, but also L. F. McMurray was named as a would-be briber in the investigation of the Samourae Oklahoma Indian land deal before the special congressional committee at Muskogee, Okla. McMurray is the holder of the contracts with the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians to promote which. In congress Gore charged he was offered a bribe. The feature of the hearing at McMurray, Okla., before the congressional committee is in impiring into the McMurray contracts with the Chicka saw and Choctaw Indians and the charges of attempted bribery made by Senator Gole, was the testimony given by D. C. McCurtain, son of Governor McCurtain, who was recalled to the stand. Twelve persons were killed in a head on collision between a passenger train and a terminal engine of the California & Northwestern railroad near Ignatio, Cal. The passenger train was carrying a delegation of Red Men on their way to attend the state convention at Santa Rosa. The train was running at a high rate of speed when the collision occurred.

The Payne-Aldrich tariff law has produced in its first year a revenue larger by $75,000,000 than the sum collected in any 12 months in the country's history, except the banner year 1907, according to treasury department figures. Six thousand rifles were seized by the Spanish authorities on a tug which find been chartered to go to San Sebastian, where the anti-government demonstration was proposed to be held. Portugal, like Spain, is nearly on the verge of an open rupture with the Vatican, due, among other causes, to friction over the governmental censure of the Roman Catholic archbishop of Braga for suppressing a Portuguese Franciscan newspaper without first submitting the ordot to the Portuguese government. So serious has the forest fire situation in northwestern and western Montana become that Governor Norris has telegraphed the presidents of the three transcontinental railroads beseeching their co-operation in fighting the flames. That one third of the babies in Iowa under one year old have died since the hot weather set in was the alarming condition revealed by Dr. G. H. Sumner, secretary of the state board of health.

That the house of Savoy has at last withdrawn its opposition to the long heralded engagement of the Duc D'Abruzzz to Miss Katherine Elkins, daughter, of the United States senator from West Virginia, and that the announcement will be officially gazetted in a few days is the substance of a statement made here by a person high in the esteem of the members of the royal family. After writing two notes, Ralph G. Nichols of Rockford, Ill., a marine who has been stationed aboard the battle ship Virginia, shot himself in the right temple of a Boston hotel. The convention of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of America opened in Boston with high mass celebrated by Archbishop Faleon and welcoming addresses by Governor Draper and Mayor Fitzgerald.

J., that the Methodist church there has been forced to postpone evening service. Denver authorities have issued an order forbidding Salvation Army women to enter saloons in that city to solitify money, on the theory that the practice is demoralizing. Frank C. Drew, a San Francisco attorney, has engaged a special Pullman to take his wife's pet bulldog across the continent, because the animal was not permitted to ride on a regular tourist car.

IN MEMORY OF PILGRIM FATHERS IN MEMORY OF PLEGRIM PATHERS Pilgrim Monument at Provincetown PRINCETON, MASS—Practically all the details were carried out as arranged for the dedication on August 5 of the monument to the Pilgrim Fathers, in which ceremony President Taft, British Ambassador Bryce, IRRIGATION IN INDIA Use Insects in Moth Fight Powerful Recommendation of Irrigation Commission and Courageous Energy of Lord Curzon Needed for Ultimate Success. London.—The Times of India gives some interesting facts regarding the work done by the Indian government in extending the irrigation system of the land. Of the Deccan system, it says: "The Deccan schemes are of first-class importance and value. They make a vivid appeal to our imagination and sympathy. If we look at a rainfall map of India we see a large parched patch of country enveloping and Bijapur and parts of Nasik and Bijapur and parts of Nasik and Poona. Here the laborious cultivator has learned to look for drought and famine in one year out of three, and in a vastly wider area a scanty and insufficient rainfall is as likely to be received as a plenteous waterlog. In the Deccan there is no question of watering a desert and bringing in a colony of people to enjoy the results. The cry for water comes from the people whose native homes are on the soil and who year after year sow their crops uncertain of the return, frequently having to sell their treasures and migrate in search of labor, in order to find the means of subsistence. "The soil is rich and capable of bearing fine crops, and along its whole western border runs the mighty buttress of the Ghats which brings down an unfailing deluge of water, sufficient to irrigate the land many times over. What more simple than to store water in the hills and, deal it out through canals upon the thirsty plains? Yet the difficulties to be faced are some of the hardest in any irrigation problem in India. The construction of the great storage reservoirs in the Ghats proved extremely costly; owing to the Two Massachusetts Towns Receive Flies and Beetles to Release in Trees. Lotham. Mass. The town in its plan of assisting the Various towns to accommodate the giphy and browntail in which has sent to Lotham 1700 anas flies and 200 calosoma Beetles. These flies at beetles, breed at Moline Heights, are distributed in infected sections. They live on the motha and caterpillars and wherever conformation of the country, the alignment of canals from the best sites for storage works to the districts requiring water presented complications; and the fluctuations of rainfall in the plains seriously affected prospects of regular revenue. "Government obtains returns for its outlay upon irrigation both directly, by payments made for the water service, and indirectly, by the increased wealth, and therefore increased taxable capacity, which it confers on the people. "It needed the powerful recommendation of the irrigation commission, and the courageous energy of Lord Curzon to insure the problem which the Deccan presents being boldly attacked and steadily pushed forward to solution. The commission found that of the soil in the Deccan which might beneficially be irrigated, 95 per cent, was, without irrigation. In the secretariat of the government of Bombay now lies a new map of the Deccan upon which may be seen the results of the labors of the last seven years. Every catchment area in the Ghats has been investigated, and every possible site for a reservoir examined as the commission desired. "Every square mile of the Deccan has been surveyed, the best alignments for canals in all directions have been sought out. The new map of the Deccan is covered with a maze Bad Teeth M Bad Teeth Make Many Ills So Declares Dr. Thaddeus P. Hyatt of Brooklyn at Dental Hygiene Conference. New York. At the dental hygiene conference and exhibit in the Metropolitan building Dr. Thaddeus P. Hyatt of Brooklyn gave a lecture on the fills that beset a man with poor teeth. "In no art or science," said Doctor Hyatt. "has such progress been made as in the art and science of dentistry in the last twenty-five years. The In Moth Fight in Moth Fight tried they have done good work in ex- terminating the pests. They were delivered the other day to George A. Phillips, town tree warden, by John Schaffner of Dover. A similar amount was delivered to C. H. Southerland of Westwood, who has charge of the work in that town. Silence has the advantage over speech in that you never have to take it back. IN WICH COUNTY MOTH PERILS TREES Spraying. Individual Destruction and Autumnal Precautions Are Recommended by Chicago.City Forester —Invasion Last Year. Chicago. An invading army of tussock moths has descended upon the trees of Chicago and its suburbs. Unless strenuous methods are adopted to check the advance of the devastating horde the lindens, poplars and willows of parks, driveways and private lawns are in danger of being dismantled of foliage and ultimately destroyed. These are not the only members of the tree family that the tussock moth has chosen for its field of operations. The horse chestnut, the dogwood and a score of other shade producers and ornamental shrubs that are the pride of good citizens also are under attack. Park commissioners have declared war upon the gorgeous caterpillar, which is the larva of the tussock moth. City Forester J. H. Prost has issued a bulletin of warning and advice. Tree owners in many parts of the city have appealed to the forester for aid and complain that the tussock caterpillar—which represents the ravaging stage of the moth's development—is running over everything outdoors and over invading homes. It may prove of small consolation to know that the caterpillar of the tussock moth is one of the most beautiful that science is familiar with. It has a bright red head; a velvety black back, bordered with rich yellow stripes; four tufts of yellow hair standing upright a little back of the head; a pair of long black plumes, suggestive of horns, extending forward from the head, and a single plume for a tail. They live upon the green matter of leaves and, being gifted with abnormal appetites, it does not take very long for a goodly company of the invaders to defoliate a tree. They are practically new comers to Chicago, though last year they became a source of danger to the trees of certain sections. This year, however, they suddenly have become the cause of dismay on the South, West and North sides, while particular complaints have been heard from the West side. There are just three things to do according to the city forester: Spray the foliage with arsenate of lead. spray the louse with alcohol jead. Destroy caterpillars by "squashing" them. Gather coccoons and egg masses it fall and burn them. of red lines and blue lines, shaded patches, dotted patches, showing the results of these labors. Financially, the engineers are able to show prospects of better results than were at one time believed possible. Most of their schemes show an estimated revenue of three or four per cent, and for all of these the government of India is now prepared to advance funds. "It is an irony that the best soil in this region is in those parts which are farthest removed from the zones of regular rainfall. In the future this topsy-turvy arrangement of nature will be of no consequence. The dry and thirsty districts of Ahmednagar and its neighbors have a latent capacity for becoming one of the richest wheat-producing tracts in India. When canals have made the country independent of the rainfall, even the Deccan ryeot may forget the meaning of drought and the pain of turning his wife's bangles into rupees every third or fourth year. "One of the greatest of the new projects is the Godaveri river scheme. This is nearing completion, and several miles of its canals will be brought into use in the coming monsoon. The distributing channels will serve 240,000 acres of ground in Nasik and Ahmednagar. The whole catchment area surrounding the sources of the Godaveri and its upper tributaries, the Darna and Kadwa, is brought under control for the benefit of the scheme. This represents an area of no less than 150 square miles." most important discovery was made only recently. It is that the health of the entire body depends on healthy teeth and healthy surrounding tissue. It has been discovered that the dental end of a nerve can manifest itself in the eye, causing temporary blindness; that it can manifest itself in the car, causing temporary deafness, and it can manifest itself in the muscles, causing temporary paralysis and insanity." London Death Rate 1 per London Death Rate Low. London—In four weeks the death rate in London averaged 10.8 per 1,000, being 1.7 per 1,000 below the mean rate in the corresponding periods of the five years 1905-9. There were three cases of smallpox in the Metropolitan asylum board and London fever hospitals last week, the only cases in London for the last thirteen weeks. French Imports Grow. Washington—France's exports during the first four months of this year increased $25,400,000, being $380,415,159, while the increase in imports was only $9,600,000.

Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 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. These are not pleasant days for lynch-murders and mobsters in at least three states—Ohio, Illinois and, strange to say, Texas, too. May it ever be so! Loyal and manly Afro-Americans, everywhere and especially here in Ohio, should get together and prepare to do something this fall and next year. Action as well as talk, is what is needed. By all means, let us have wise, sensible action. Our people need it. The National Political League is to be complimented for "talking right out," if for nothing more. Better that than nothing. But we do hope some of our many "national" organizations will soon "get busy" and do something material. That is what is most needed, these days. There is no denying the fact that Jack Johnson's victory at Reno, Nev., has benefited the race, far more than it is generally given credit for, both with the ignorant and worthless "whites" and the better classes of that race. Leading daily newspapers like the Chicago American and others, admit this, and the observing of our people can see and "feel" it. A few of our contemporaries affect not to know that that man, W. G. Critchlow of Dayton, O., is at the head of the "International Liberty Union of the World," headquarters at "377 Union Temple, Dayton, O," and are carrying its advertisements. Come, gentlemen of the race press, be honest with your readers, and do the proper thing. That old warrior in religious effort, the Rev. B. H. Lee of Allogeneh, Pa., well-known throughout Ohio, where he pastored so successfully A. M. E. churches for many years, and always stood up manfully for The Gazette, wrote us the past week when renewing his subscription: "Your paper is worth more than the price to any of our race. If the Afro-American does not receive full protection and encouragement from the powers that be, it will not be your fault, for your faithful efforts to upgrade your race, the race, the power twenty-seven years is pleasing to God and deserves the commendation of all upright men." This in indeed encouraging, coming from such a source. Thanks, good and faithful friend. President Taft has finally "fired" Collector Rucker of Atlanta, Ga., the last Afro-American federal officeholder of any consequence in the state. Indeed he has now gotten rid of nearly every one in the south. But very few remain and it will not be long until they too are let out. In the departments at Washington, D.C., as well as elsewhere in the south, President Taft is encouraging the insulting segregation of minor, federal appointees of color whom they are not able to get rid of. And still there are Negroes, even some who do not hold jobs under the federal administration, who have the "gall" to hold up for Taft and attempt to make excuses for him he has too much self-respect to attempt to make for himself. May God forgive them! Major Penrose, Captains Macklin and Lyon, the three responsible officers with "The Black Battalion" at the time of the alleged "Brownsville Affray," were all tried by Courts Martial for their part in that affair and none of them were found guilty. They are no more innocent of the outrageous Roosevelt-Taft charge of "Shooting up Brownsville" than their men, and they say so. And yet all of the latter, 167 in number, were adjudged guilty by the Court of Injury, with the exception of 14. The inconsistency of all this is apparent at a glance and is another good reason why our people should never cease their efforts to secure justice, though very tardy, for those outraged ex-soldiers of the 25th Infantry. Let us "storm" the next Congress and make our demand for justice for these men so, strong that it will be heard, or defeat will come to the Republican party in the next national campaign. That is the least we can do in justice to the race and ourselves—if we have manhood, loyalty, and proper self and race respect. Brownsville shall not down, until justice is done "The Black Battalion!" Speaking editorially of the Slocum, Texas, massacre, the Cleveland Dally Plain Dealer (Dem.) had the following to say in its closing paragraph, and it is so true that we deem it worthy of reproduction in The Gazette: "The reports of 'race wars,' analyzed down as this one has been, would not infrequently disclose a similar state of affairs than massacres of Negroes most of them innocent and offensive. 'Race war,' however, is a handy and high sounding designation, and it may be used at any time to give respectability and a semblance of justification to the killings. Evidently this latest 'race war' in Texas has been an affair of more than usual viciousness, for the authorities are not wont to make much ado over the ordinary clash between 'whites' and blacks in which the former do the killing and the latter are killed." The one encouraging thing in connection with this terrible butchery is the fact that a number of reputable and leading "white" men of that town and vicinity have been found who are willing and ready to go before the grand jury and testify to the barbaric brutality of the Slocum mob. May God see to it that all guilty are punished as such brutal murderers should be, promptly and fully. Recently several of our ladies have said that they have been refused service in the restaurant of Kresge's five and ten cent store on Euclid Avenue, near the Public Square. As we have so often told our readers, there is a way to stop this sort of thing and we presume it will be when our people get enough of it. How so many can quietly submit to such aggravating insults in public places, is more than we can understand. It is no use to tell your troubles to others, but employ a good lawyer and vindicate your rights in the proper place (the courts) and manner. The editor of The Gazette secured the passage of Ohio's Civil Rights law in 1894, and the Ohio Supreme Court has on several different occasions since said it was a good fine, and all right. Use it! Senator W. T. Clark of the American Trust Bldg, has never lost a case under it and has had more civil rights cases than any other lawyer in the city. When a member of the Ohio Legislature, he helped the editor of The Gazette to pass that law and also our Ohio Anti-Lynching law. Rights that are not worth contending for in the courts are not worth anything to the individual who is denied them and will not fight for them. Just remember this, please. OUR TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR. With Aug. 6 issue. The Gazette, "the old reliable," entered its twenty-eighth year of continuous publication (every week on time), and during all these years it has been under the same single individual management and ownership. Its record for good work done for the race is a long one, most creditable indeed. It includes Ohio's Civil Rights law and Ohio's Anti Lynching or Mob Violence law, two of the most effective in the state States. Then, too, there are those who will remember this paper's successful fight of many years ago against the remnants of Ohio's "Black Laws," its equally successful and repeated efforts against southern railroads disgracing Ohio soil with their "jincrow" car signs, and The Gazette's later and even more determined effort to help "hold up the hands" of our great and good friend, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker. These are but a few of the very many good things The Gazette has done and helped to do, to the very utmost of its ability, throughout the past 25 years, as thousands of readers The Gazette has always been intensely loyal to our people and their good friends. This is one of its cardinal principles, as it should be with every individual member of the race. As an earnest of the future; we point to the past—the very best assurance one can give, and urge our friends and wishers to renew their material interest in The Gazette and help it the circulation before the first of January next. We want good, live agents in many Ohio cities and towns, particularly, in some of which you have assistance and acquaintances who would assist us to secure them if they were encouraged to do so by you. Write them at once in our behalf, and see to it that we are represented in your home city or town also. We want many more subscribers in your city, town and vicinity and wherever you have friends and acquaintances. Urge them to take The Gazette, be benefitted and at the same time help it. These are some of the ways you can use in an effort to be of material assistance to "the old reliable Gazette." Will you "put your shoulder to the wheel," reader, and encourage others to do likewise? If you will, there can be no doubt of our securing the desired increase in circulation by the time stated. One result of this will be an improved paper in many respects; another, and one of vastly more importance, will be the material increase of The Gazette's power for more good and effective work in behalf of the race. Decide to begin your effort to assist it, today. RUINS INDICATE AN EMPIRE. French Scientist Believes Native Africans Once Achieved High Civilization. Paris, France.—That powerful empires of great size and culture existed in the Sudan before the "white" races entered Africa is the conviction of a French scientist, M. Zeltner, who reports in La Nature on the results of his archaeological investigations in the basins of the Niger and Senegal. Within a triangle formed by the towns of Timbuco, Kayes and Bamako he located 32 archaeological deposits consisting of ancient civilization where interesting finds were made in caves on the upper Senegal. Here an abundance of runic signs and drawings were found traced on rocks. They were similar in character to those discovered in South African caverns. The writings have some resemblance to those signs found on ancient ruins further eastward in the Sahara desert, and are believed by M. Zeltner to be related to the present Tuareg alphabet. The results of the study are obviously studied. M. Zeltner thinks that the archaeological exploration of the African continent is in its infancy and will doubtless yield surprising results in establishing the advanced state of development attained by the black races in early times. Company K on Trial. Cairo, Ill.-Members of Company K. Illinois National Guard, are being investigated as the result of charges preferred in connection with the mob which attempted to lynch John Pratt February 17. A board is conducting the investigation. The charges are that the company failed to arrive at the courthouse, under orders, until several hours after the mob's attack on the building. The company further charged that after Captain W. H. Greaney had relieved Sheriff Fred Nellis, members of the company broke up the furniture in the sheriff's office.

The $150 which had been appropriated for distribution among the Patriarchs (taken from the three drill), was divided equally among the Praise was heard on all sides for Piqua and its most hospitable people as well as for the splendid showing and impress made by the members of both district grand bodies, their visitors and many friends who came to the city. Our two local daily papers were very much gratified at the receipt of letters of thanks, from Mr. Arthur T. Abbott, for the large amount of space they devoted to the reports of the District Grand Lodge. Personal Mention: Mrs. E. B. Delaney of Kentucky, D. G. M. N.

George Moss and "Bob" Evans were the busiest men in town last week, and about as proud as you generally find about the fine showings made by their showings. They had promised a year ago and the Grand Lodge would be royally entertained if they came to Pluqa, and they surely "delivered the goods." Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Abbott were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Pettiford, at dinner Thursday, Litter Miss Olive Pettiford, their accomplished daughter, accompanied them to Athletic park, where military drills were in progress. NEW POLITICAL MOVEMENT Strong Address—National AntiJim Crow Car Law—Five Pledges for Candidates—Lawlessness Denounced, Ftc. Atlantic City, N. J.—Severe criticisms of the country in general and of the Republican and Democratic parties were made here last week at the convention of the National Independent Political league. The most bitter denunciation was that of the Brownsville affair, which they lay at the doorstep of the convention. The critics, the league says, have been absolutely unjust to the Negro, whose only hope is in an mid-pendent political movement. "In the address to the country which was issued by the convention there is called to attention 'the fact that today no civilized country on earth can be considered to be a wholesale murder of innocent men, in the social perception of the weak, in religious discrimination and proscription, and in the helplessness and in efficiency of the judiciary.' Texas has outrum Kishineff; jim-crow cars are indefensible and recent decisions of the supreme court, are repugnant to the Constitution," the closing paragraph, which is the platform of the convention follows: It is time, therefore, for an independent Negro movement in politics. We should refuse alliance with either of the two dominant parties at present and confine our attention to men who once were one of the congressmen and other candidates in office who pledge themselves to advocate the following measures: 1. The restoration of the discharged Brownsville soldiers. 2. National legislation against lynching and mob law. 3. The passage of a national anti-fine-cow car law. 4. National aid to education, with the same opportunities to all children. 5. The enforcement of the constitution to stop disfricionment and peonage. An Idea Nets Him $62,000. Iassate, N. A., -Jas, Leach, who used to work in the Clendening Hankerchelff Mills here, has made $22,000 by inventing an improvement to the phonograph. He was considered to be an expert mechanic, and used to tell his friends that he was sure that he could improve the tone of the talkback machine in the town, N. Y., but continued to work at his ides in the evening. The Edison Company heard of his efforts and invited him to come to them. There he perfected his invention and, according to the news which has reached his friends, he has received a grant from the University of his parents in Charleston, S. C., his native town. Another Afro-American inventor! No Color Line There. Columbia, Mo.—The first marriage of our people in a "white" church took place in Sacred Heart Catholic Church recently, when Father T. J. Lloyd said nuptial mass for Corneilus dames, a Pullman car porter, of Kansas City, and Laura Jene Douglas, of Columbia. The regular choir took part and both races attended the ceremony. Father Lloyd said: "The Catholic Church recognizes no color line; all men's souls are equal." Joe Gans Dead. The "old master" survived the trip home to Baltimore, Md., from Arizona, to see his mother and wife, and lasted but a few days the first of this week.

THAT SLOCUM MASSACRE Denounced and the President and Congress Appealed to—Elimination— Jimcrowism—McKinlay (Special to the Gazette.) Washington, D. C., Aug. 16. Denouncing the recent massacre of defenderless Colored men at Shoah, the nation's most prominent community and the laws of the nation, a mass meeting of more than 2,000 representative colored citizens of Washington were arraised to a fever heat at the Metropolitan Baptist Church on St. Roud, Monday night. The rostrum was filled with preachers, professors, lawyers, doctors, merchants and other citizens, only the professional politicians were present. All of those present were of an mind, The Supreme Court of the United States, the "white" church, the Associated Press, the daily newspapers and other institutions were denounced for not making more efforts to put a stop to mob violence. Among the speakers were Professor W. H. H. Hart of the faculty of Howard University, Professor J. A. M. Church, Rev. L. Milton Waldron, of Shiloh Baptist Church; Rev. A. C. Garner of Plymouth Congregational Church; Rev. S. L. Carrothers, of Calibrath Zion Church; Rev. J. A. Taylor, R. K. Hart; W. J. Howard and a number of other speakers; Mildred Mifflin W. Gable, N. E. Macall and other members of the bar and citizen representing every calling and profession. Each of the speakers referred to the laxity with the laws of Texas have been enforced during the recent racial trouble and declared that it is the duty of the President and Congress to interfere if the state officials fail to part. Resolutions making an appeal to the President and Congress to American people to remedy the lynching civil were unanimously adopted. When President Taft, recently named Henry S. Jackson as collector of internal 'revenue for Georgia, it marked the elimination of the Negro from high Federal office in the state of Georgia. Hon. H. A. Rucker, who has just been ousted, was the last Colored man left in a responsible place in Georgia, and the fact that he has been succeeded by a "white" man is interpreted to mean that the administration intends to try to correct the South to take on the Republican party by ignoring the Negro, Rucker was ranked by government inspectors as an efficient official. While it is not fair to the race to remove Rucker simply because he is a Colored man, still Rucker, personally, is getting just what he deserves. At Chicago he was a ritorio to J. W. Lyons, the Colored member of the Republican National Committee, the very man who had secured his original appointment, Rucker. The man in as the Georgia member of the National Committee, and the result has been that every Negro holding an important Federal office in Georgia has been ousted by President Taft. So much for treachery. Whitfield McKinley, the new collector of customs of this district, has taken charge of his office, but if the statements of many prominent citizens are to be believed, he will have to get on next winter when Congress passes a bill that would him, especially among those who lost money in the Capital Savings Bank which failed for more than $100,000 and gave the depositors about three cents for each dollar taken in. The President is not blamed for the McKinley appointment; the people think he misled by his own misdeed who had his ear. The "jimerowing" of Colored clerks is going on at a rapid rate in the various departments. This is especially true of the census office, where a large number of clerks have come in on their mails, after having passed the required examination. In that particular office, the line is distinctly drawn and Colored men and women of a firmment and culture are segregated into three groups: the person makes a complaint. If the "whites" are dissatisfied, they ought to get out. It would be easy to get enough Negroes to do the entire work of the census and do it better than the majority of the "whites" now in office, Johnson, Terrell, Tyler and Vernon, who are in office as the representatives on the Colored people, are silent on the un-American practice. As the alleged leaders will not protest, the police right to raise a howl about the matter. Register Vernon will be re-pointed. THE ELKS' NEW OFFICERS. Washington, D. C.

Fighting "Jim Crow" School Columbus, O. — To compel the board of education to re-district the Champion Avenue School district so it will not tend to include so many of our children and leave out all "white" children in that section of the city, Charles A. Parker and Charles T. Smith, last week Friday, petitioned the common pleas court for a mandate to re-district the board. They allege that it compelled to segregate our children in violation of Ohio law. "Be' White teach." The Phoenix maintains that many "white" people who profess to know much about the Negro know the least. Thousands of Southern people, particularly Southern Democrats, never heard a Negro speaker of any pronouncement or ever visited an advanced Negro school. They know nothing of the progress of the race. All they know is the riff-raff element and they judge all Negroes by that element. It could be that they know all Negroes by our riff-raff element and "white trash."—Muskogee (Okla.) Daily Phoenix. HIRSTIUS GUILTY SAY BOTH OF THEM QTY CLERK WITT AND DIRECTOR SPRINGBORN GIVE INSIDE INFORMATION. WHY STREET WAS NOT OPENED. The Gazette Was Right In Its Contention, as Usual—Our Refusal to Support Hirstius and Others Fully Justified—Some Interesting Letters. As is well-known The Gazette was bitterly opposed to the election of Sheriff Gus Hirstius, because who a member of the council from the late ward Hirstius refused to permit a street to be cut through from Central avenue to Cedar avenue, between Perry street and Greenwood street, because a few prejudiced Cedar avenue residents asked him not to do so "because colored people would come through" the street from Cedar avenue and peer into windows. He withdrew in, which he increased in the council (authorizing the proper city authorities to cut the street through) at the request of the council and preju diced Cedar avenue residents. When he was re-elected to the council, Hirsius, a second time, promised to have the street cut through, but steadily refused to keep his promise. The following is pertinent and self-explanatory. Read the letters carefully and thoughtfully: Cleveland, Nov. 19, 1908. Mr. Peter Witt, City Clerk-Dear Sir! Just before election, Councilman Hirschus made a statement in a political meeting to the office that he had decided to dissolve, resolution on something in the city council, providing for cutting a street through from Central avenue to Codar avenue, between East Twenty-second and East Twenty-eighth streets, opposite Shed street, or in that vicinity, which he claimed, though passed by the council in July last (the work of cutting the street through) has been held up ever since by Director Springhagen 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 same individual introduced an ordinance, resolution or something in the council, providing for cutting a street through in the same vicinity. Will you tell me whether or not the resolution that you referred to, was ever passed by the council, and why the street was not cut through at that time? By complying with the above requests at your earliest opportunity you will greatly oblige me. Yours truly. HARRY C. SMITH Editor The Gazette Nov. 22, 1988 Hen, H. C. Smith, Editor Cazette—Door St. On July 9, 1988, the council No. 527 of Mr. Hirstus provided for the opening of East Theatre Fifth place in Codar avenue. It passed the same month on the 21st day. The imminent provement was not made for the reason that Mr. Hirstus did not want it. His reasons for not wanting it, I have been informed, were and possibly are that the people in the immediate vicinity of the proposed opening did not want罢 of your race to come through. In May of the present year there was a resolution introspection and massing of a new street between Central and June, looking for the marking of a new street between Central and June. The motives allow one to imagine a new made for the reason that the money in possession of the city through the sale of bonds was for the building of dead old streets and not for the taking of new streets. Customers are understated to deter the wishes of construction for ward improvements, and I feel sure that the only reason this improvement at East Twenty-fifth place was not made was because of race prejudice, which Mr. Hirius listened to. Would suspect that you call in Mr. Springston and get from him a confirmation of what I have given to you as a mentor. Very truly yours. Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette. — First, Assess your favor of the fifth item, with reference to the purchased letter from Mr. Witt, would you say that the facts are as Mr. Witt states, and had Mr. Hirstived to have East Twenty-fifth place to have East Twenty-fifth place to have East Odder avenue, it would have been doing ago. At the time it was proposed to the opening Mr. Hirstived invited me to meet with him a committee at the Case of one of the council meetings. The committee represented the property owners and residents on Odder where the improvement was to be made. They protested unresolved opening, and the result that Mr. Hirstived agreed to have it made. AND ASKED TO HAVE NO FURTHER STEPS 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 courtimprovement board in the improvement of this case. Made. It therefore seems that MR. HIRSTIUS ALONE is TO BLADE OR NOT HAVING THE STREET OPENED. Yours very truly. W. J.

Gregory, but paroled six months ago, was shot and almost instantly killed last week Thursday in a central avenue saloon by Howard Harris, bartender, whose plea will be self-defense. When arraigned on a charge of second degree murder in police court last week, Harris pleaded, not guilty. In reply to an inquiry from our local reporter, the Humane society which investigated the reported whipping of a child by Mrs. John C. Fulton, "white," of E. 37th street, last week Wednesday evening, which thoroughly stiffened up that immediate vicinity, according to various reports, the following was sent The Gazette on Wednesday of this week and signed by "A. B. W." of the Humane society: "The Fulton matter was not anywhere near so serious as represented. The Humane society felt that a reprimand and warning was all that was necessary under the circumstances." The Mt. Zion "Organ Fund Club's" musical at Mrs. J. W. Wills', last Wednesday evening, was one of its most successful home entertainments. The program was excellent. Frank L. Waring, president of the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society of Chicago, delighted the audience with several solos, some of which elicited double encores. He has a rich baritone voice. Miss Clara Dyson, a soprano, soloist of St. Andrews' choir, and Miss Georgia Fields, one of Cleveland's favorites, sang beautifully. The club wishes to thank Mr. and Mrs. Wills for the use of their home, and also those who participated in the program, and the young men who assisted in serving refreshments. The mixed quartette, the violin solo by Louis Jones and the accompanying of Miss Cora Fields were exceptionally good. We wish to call our readers' attention, particularly, to the advertisement of Prof. H. J. Kroesen elsewhere in this paper. There are no better teachers of the piano, and very few as good, in this city. Prof. Kroesen is known throughout this country by soloists and musicians as a consumate artist, both as an accompanist and soloist. He it was that taught piano to Harry A. Williams of this city, now located in New York City, where he is so successfully teaching both piano and voice. One of the greatest sopranos in the world, some years ago, was Madam Fursh-Madl. After Prof. Kroesen had accompanied her in concert here, she pronounced him the best she had met in America and secured him a professorship with her in the great New York Conservatory of Music, a position he held several years and until an overwhelming desire to return to Cleveland, his home, caused him to resign it. For advanced students of the piano, we do not hesitate to stamp Prof. Kroesen, the best, in the city. He will teach you in your own home if it is preferred. Call him over the 'phone (West 407-J) and arrange for lessons. He will take beginners, also. Rev. H. C. Bailey was selected to preach the recognition sermon of Zion Baptist Church, Xenia, on the occasion of the recent installing of the new pastor, Rev. J. G. Ross, formerly of Youngstown. At each service during the day (Sunday) there was a large and enthusiastic gathering. Rev. Bailey was pastor of Zion Church ten years ago and was instrumental in its securing Rev. Ross. New life and hope have already seized the church and all look forward to great things from Zion. Rev. Bailey was warmly received by his host of friends in Xenia; an educational center. There are a score or more high school graduates among Dr. Ross' church members, and there are bright prospects in view for him. Our people of Xenia, have lovely homes and live in the most beautiful part of the town. While there, Rev. Bailey was shown through the Wm. Stroop Tobacco Stemmery, which employs almost exclusively Afro-Americans. W. S. Rogers is superintendent, a young lady of the race is time-keeper, a young boy of the race is a patron, a young or ten "whites" work contentedly beside our employees. The department is excellent. The books show that some make eight, and ten dollars a week, but the average pay is five dollars with a half holiday on Saturdays. There is a large and commodious dining room where employees can eat either the lunches brought from home or those bought there at a reasonable price. This is a great opportunity—the best in Ohio for our people, and they should appreciate and avail themselves of it. The races are on friendly terms in and about Xenia. Rev. Bailey also spoke for a few minutes at another of his former charges, the Second Baptist Church of Springfield, and was warmly greeted by old old friends. The present pastor, Rev. Frye, called for an offering, which was heartily given. Deacon Shivers made the presentation to Rev. Bailey, in a neat speech. Dayton, O.-Louise Gebhart Brown, 19, died August 4 from smoking cigarettes, according to the physician's report to the Board of Health. He reports her death due to pulmonary tuberculosis, induced by smoking. ```markdown ``` Eskimo Baby Talk.

Xenia, O.—The William Stroop, Tobacco Co. has a splendidly equipped stemmery here with all modern conventions, and is making a special appeal for colored help. This is because of our natural adaptation to the handling of tobacco. Many of our people are already at work here making good wages. While Xenia has a large colored population this is insufficient to supply the needs of this large factory, and the surrounding country is invited to send her unemployed who wish to earn a good living. W. S. Rogers, one of the race, is foreman of the stepping department, and will furnish all applicants with work. This is another evidence of Mr. Stroop's well known friendship and interest in the race. Xenia is a beautiful city with an intellectual a colored population as any city in the United States, according to census statistics. Girls, about 16 years of age, wanted particularly. Address W. S.

Passages become too frequent or scanty; urine is discolored and sediment appears. No medicine for such troubles like Doan's Kidney Pills. They quickly remove kidney disorders. Carlyle Dumon in the Songs A. Dashem, 241 N. Nrant St., Wooster, O., says: "The doctors diagnosed my case as gravel, but my agony increased under their treatment, and I soon became too weak to stand alone. I had given up all hope of living more than a few weeks at the best. I was strongly urged to try Doan's Kidney Pills, and after twelve days' use, I passed two gravel stones. After that, I improved rapidly until cured." Remember the name—Doan's. For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. LIKE HOCH. "What have you to say to this charge of bigamy; why did you have so many wives?" "Well, judge, I expected to weed out a few of them later." Don't Eat Soon. Every now and then you get a faint taste of soap in something you eat. That is because the pot or skillet or saucepan has been cleaned (7) with ordinary yellow soap, and it has left a trace of the rancid fat and nauseating rosin in the vessel. If Easy Task soap is used, the cooking utensils are made absolutely clean and antiseptically sterilized. Families that use Easy Task soap seldom have a doctor's bill to pay, because it drives out disease germs with the dirt. One cake of it is worth two of other sorts. What They Did With Them An American who spends much of his time in England tells of a cockney who went to a dealer in dogs and thus described what he wanted. "Hi wants a kind of dog about so 'lgh an' so long. Hit's a kind of gr'y'ound, an' yet it ain't a gr'y'ound, because 'is style is shorter nor any o' any these 'ere gr'y'ounds, an' is nose is shorter, an' e' ain't so slim round the body. But still 'e's a kind o' gr'y'hound. Do you keep such dogs? "We do not," said the dog man. "We drown 'em." Wonder Why: Said the proprietor of the big drug store with a soda fountain annex to his white jacketed dispenser: "Jimmy, you will have to cut out that new drink of yours; I notice that every man who comes in and tries it immediately begins to feel around for the brass rail with his foot." "Brisk," answered the druggist. "I've bought tickets for two plenies and four excursions this morning, and donated goods for several indoor affairs."

Match after match he lighted, pulling hard at the pipe the while, until at last the ground all round his feet was strewed with struck matches. "Come in to your dinner, Patsy," at length called out his wife. "Faith, and Ol will in a minute, Biddy," said he. "Molke Mulrooney has been a-telling me that If Ol, shmoked a bit av ghlass Ol cud see the shots on the sun. Ol don't know whether Molke's been a-fooling me or whether Ol've got hold av the wrong kind of ghlass." -Scraps. It Wouldn't Stretch. The assessor was doing the very best he could, but the farmer was shrewd and wary. "How many acres of farming land have you?" he inquired warily. "Bout 20, I guess," said Reuben. "Twenty! Why, it looks to me like nearer 120. Come, now, can't you increase that a little? There are surely more than 20 acres in that tract. Suppose you stretch that a little." "Say, feller," said the farmer, "this ain't no rubber plantation."—Harper's Monthly. The Nurse's Opinion A nurse had been called as a witness to prove the correctness of the bill of a physician. "Let us get at the facts in the case," said the lawyer, who was doing a cross-examination stunt. "Didn't the doctor make several visits after the patient was out of danger? "No, sir," answered the nurse. "I considered the patient in danger as long as the doctor continued his visits." A man's argument is nearly always self convincing.

OLD MEN AT PLAY Men Now Past Sixty Who Find De light in the Playthings of Their Early Blue Springs, Mo—Horseshoes! Aw, shucks! Horseshoes do well enough to furnish a light diversion now and then, but for a serious game of headwork and skill. Blue Springs believes no game is half as good as old-fashioned marbles. For two years the boys and men of Blue Springs representatives from all of Shakespeare's seven ages have been playing marbles the year round each month with increasing skill. There is a legend that Uncle Dan Stanley, who is seventy-years-old, wore so evenly matched in a contest arranging last winter that they lagged from law for two days without either man winning an advantage of a sixteenth of an inch in the struggle to gain the privilege of having the first shot, and the contest had to be declared a draw before it began. Knickerbocker teams, ten-year-olds, fifteen, twenty-five, fifty, or seventy-five-year-old teams, or any other age that a challenger may profe, can be furnished by Blue Springs on five minutes' notice. Blue Springs challenges the world. Just how marbles got started here no one appears to remember. Possibly some gray-boarded citizen of the town sat on a nail leg. In front of Pryor's blacksmith shop on a spring day two years ago and got to thinking, while he watched the "kids" playing marbles in the street, that he used to be a pretty fair hand at that game himself in days before the war. Then he went out and knocked a "mudder" from "raw" or almost did—and went back and bragged about it to somebody else. And that other person A Sport in Blue Springs, Mo. used to be pretty fair, too, in other days, and went out to see what he could do. Then every one got started could do. Then every one got scared. But whatever the beginning may have been, there can be no doubt that the game has taken complete possession of Blue Springs and that Pryor's shop is its headquarters. Rain or shine, winter or summer, there is a game every day in the shop or in the street just in front of it. Last winter, when the thermometer stood near zero, a game was played in which all of the contestants wore overcoats. When those men began blowing on their knuckles to keep them warm there was a sound like a shoal of porpoises. Sevep "games" are necessary to win. Knock the middle marble out the first shot and the game is yours. Such a shot is called a "middler." Knock any marble out and you must "clear the ring"—knock all the others too, to win the game. If your marble stays in the square after the first shot, you are "fat," or "dead" for the rest of the game. If some one else hits your taw you are dead for the rest of the game. Lynn Pryor, the blacksmith, stood at taw, took careful aim, and from 12 feet away spotted the middle of the square. One game for Pryor and Binger! But nobody got excited. Middlers from taw are ordinary occurrences in Blue Springs. John Henry Moore holds a record of having knocked out 11 of such middlers in 14 shots. A minute later Uncle Dan Stanley knucked a middler. Capt. George Webb, the furniture dealer and undertaker, did the same thing, too, as soon as he had the chance. So did Farmer George Binger. They didn't do so all the time, of course, but middlers came with an astonishing regularity. And when there was a game in which all four men had a chance to shoot, other plays just as remarkable for distance and accuracy were taken by the gallery at the blacksmith shop door as matter of course. "You must understand," the blacksmith said, "that if a man comes with a horse* to be shot, the game stops instanter. But when there's nothing going on, somebody is sure to start a game. Farmers come in on rainy days, sometimes from several miles around, and some of them are good hands at marbles. Conclusive The girl with the blonde hair and the dark girl with the dimple were making various purchases, preparatory to their summer vacation. When it came to bathing suits there was a disagreement. The girl with the blonde hair wanted to select a decidedly abbreviated costume, and the dark girl with the dimple was trying to dissuade her. "You are not tall enough to wear it." remonstrated the dark girl. "Don't you know that a skirt that ends above the knees makes a girl look shorter!" "I know it makes the men look longer," insulted the little blonde. And that settled the matter. H. C.

I had three good doctors but none of them did any good. I then used one box of Curticara Ointment and three bottles of Curticara solvent and was completely cured. My hands were raw all over inside and out, and the eczema was spreading all over my body and limbs. Before I had used one bottle, together with the Curticara Ointment, my eczema were nearly bloody over, and by the time I had used the third bottle, I was entirely well. To my one who has any skin or blood disease I would try to advise them to feed with rothausol, but get Curticara and go well. My hands have never given me the least bit of trouble up to now. "My fiancée's hands this summer became perfectly raw with a sense. She could get nothing that would do the in any good well she tried. Cithcura. She need Cithcura. Re-alent and Curcura.

"Yes, but can you call it a line, Mr. Jones?" "Technically, it may not be." "You needn't. Oh, that I'd like a who is going to bring me in off a train any sooner." "Oh, I don't. It is the fear that having a wire at home with a ant to stay out on the road is a problem." Why She Brought It Up: "In your conceivably a dick, that you could once the stress I promised to be goes to you would easy to shine." "I don't remember it very, but I suppose I may have said something of the kind." "And have you forgotten that you assured me that until I promised you to claim me as your new moon would fall from her place in the heavens?" "Oh, well, what if I did say so? Why do you want to bring that up, now?" "I merely wished to assure you that I'm sorry I didn't shut my eyes and let her fall." Cleaned Out. "I'll pay it to you to a police station." "I'll pay it.

People can live in a temperature which feels from ten to twenty degrees cooler than their neighbors enjoy, by regulating the diet. The plan is to avoid meat entirely for breakfast; use a goodly allowance of fruit, either fresh or cooked. Then follow with a saucer containing about four heaping teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, treated with a little rich cream. Add to this about two slices of crisp toast with a meager amount of butter, and one cup of well-made Postum. By this selection of food the bodily energy is preserved, while the hot, carbonaceous foods have been left out. The result is a very marked difference in the temperature of the body, and to this comfortable condition is added the certainty of ease and perfect digestion, for the food being partially pre-digested is quickly assimilated by the digestive machinery. Experience and experiment in food, and its application to the human body has brought out these facts. They can be made use of and add materially to the comfort of the user.

The truth seems to be that we are an impatient people and that we devote entirely too much of our time thinking and talking about the weather instead of absorbing ourselves in other things over which we have some control. We were far wiser to follow the example of Riley's contented farmer—"When the Lord sends rain, why rain's my choice." Peculiar Death A peculiar death was that of James Dunne, at Wangaratta, Victoria, recently. While going to a creek he was caught in a wire fence and could not disentangle himself. He was found hours after fairly balanced across the wire, and expired after being lifted off. Examination showed that the wire had cut deep into the abdomen. Hero Worshicers Every man who praises a hero more than the hero deserves will abuse his neighbors more than his neighbors deserve. Every man who will march in a torchlight procession and cheer his head off for a candidate he knows almost nothing about will accept gossip on testimony he knows to be untrue.—Atchison Globe. 60 Bushels of Wheat per acre is not unusual in England because the farmers there know the value of fertilizers and use them liberally.

"I've set a bane way to go and I'm not used to travel," said the applicant at the railway ticket office. "I want to be just as comfortable as I can, to hardless of expense." Parlor car? "No, I don't care for parlor fixity." Sleeper? "No, I want to stay awake and watch the security." "Then what do you want?" "Well, if it wouldn't be too much trouble, I wish you put me up in one of these refrigerator cars I've read so much about." His Soft Answer. And this is the sort of excuse you put up for coming home two hours late for dinner and in such a condition—that you and that disreputable Augustus Jones were out hunting mushrooms, you wretch? And where, pray, are the mushrooms?" "Eore, zay are,m'm, in,m'm'ves pocket; and wille zay ain'm' so many of 'em, m'dear, we had lots of fun—Gas an' I huntt' 'em."

POSTUM CEREAL CO., LTD.; Battle Creek, Mich. History Cleared Un- The third grade was "having history." Forty youngsters were making guesses about the life and character of the Father of His Country, when the teacher propounded a question that stumped them all. "Why did Washington cross the Delaware?" Why, indeed? Not a child could think of anything but the answer to the famous chicken problem: "To get on the other side," and, of course, that wouldn't do. Then little Annie's hand shot into the air. Little Annie crosses the Delaware every summer herself, hence the bright idea. "Well, Annie?" "Because he wanted to get to Atlantic City."—Philadelphia Times. She Burned the House. A woman in Montana sat down the other day and thought about house cleaning—about the carpets and rugs to clean, the woodwork to wash, the bedding to wash, the curtains to wash, the pillows to wash, the stairways and the railings and the floors and the steps and the windows and everything else to be washed and cleaned—and she got so worried over the prospect that she set fire to the house. Do you blame her? If she had only known as you do that Easy Task soap will half the work of washing and cleaning, she would have felt more cheerful. It's a nickel a cake and one woman said she would pay a dollar a cake for it if she could get it no other way. Only One Cobb. The morning after Judge Andrew Cobb, a one-time justice of the supreme court of Georgia, tendered his resignation, an Atlanta lawyer and a shoe drummer, sat in the same seat in an outgoing train. The lawyer bought a newspaper and looked over the headlines. Then he turned to the drummer and said: "Well, I see Cobb has resigned." "Goel!" said the drummer. "What will I entrust do now?"—Philadelphia Saturday Evening. An Unnecessary System "You ought to have a burglar alarm system in your house," said the electrical supply agent, "so that you will be awakened if a burglar raises one of the windows or opens a door at night." "No burglar can get in here while we are peacefully sleeping," replied Mr. Newpop. "We are weaning our baby." Different Values. "There's a big difference in men."
