Timely Millinery
By JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
UST the most beautiful of all millinery is shown in the exquisite
hat of black velvet mounted over a wired cap of gold tissue with two gold roses at the side. Lewis of Paris won the first prize at the fashion exhibition with a big hat mounted over a lace cap. He must have lost it if this exquisite New York model had been a competitor. But the idea was new then and seized upon by the Paris designers as one would seize upon gold coins lying about the streets. In fact, a good new idea is the same thing—it can readily be coined into substantial money. This charming hat is very large and apparently very simple. But let no one be deceived as to its simplicity.
Simple Girlish Dress That Will Set Off
the Charms of the Young
Lady.
A simple girlish dress this, in cloud
gray cashmere; the skirt measures
not more than two and one-half yards
round, and is trimmed with two stitch
ad straps with rounded ends in which
buttons with cord loops are sown.
The bodice and sleeves are cut
together, the fronts crossed at waist,
and forming a "V" shaped opening
A
over a white lawn chemisette with
turn-over collar and jabot of embroidery; the sleeves are finished with
tiny turned-up cuffs.
Hat of straw to match dress, lined
with darker crepe-de-Chine, and trimmed with wide ribbons.
Materials required for the dress:
six yards 46 inches wide.
Always sow lace with fine thread and never with silk, for the silk stitches are very noticeable. This is true, no matter how coarse the lace, silk will not sink into a fabric as thread will. This is a sowing hint given me recently by a prominent dreammaker, who expressed herself as "tired to death" of seeing quite plainly where her friends had sowed their lace chemisettes and hatbrim trimming.
Sewing Lace.
THE GAZETTE
The trimming is a dull metallic wing like ornament in gold and silver. The shape is perfection, forming a back ground against which the face, neck and shoulder become a picture.
Another extremely large hat, covered with Duchess lace, is shown in Fig 2. The brim droops without an upwards flare, and is not quite sc graceful as in the first hat, but is found more becoming to certain types of faces. The trimming of ostrich is a fancy mounting and combination of rich Persian coloring, is the note of climax in the model, which has been much admired.
Either of these demonstrate how wide a brim may be, and still leave no doubt as to its beauty.
Some Simple Rules for Girl Who Finds It Necessary to Diet—Beware of Excess.
Here are a few rules that the girl who is determined to diet does well to observe. There is too much trifling with our digestion these days, and not the least harm is done by the notion for understanding.
Never diet on the advice of a friend. Her plan may have done wonders for her and will put you to bed or make you a sorry-looking wreck.
Don't diet to excess at any time. Girls, make sure your doctor knows dietetics. Many physicians, good in other things, have little knowledge of the effect of food upon the system.
If you must diet from a cause, as from diabetes or kidney trouble, do it religiously; almost better not begin than to spasmatically, letting up whenever food tempts you.
If you only diet for the sake of figure or complexion, count the cost before starting. Cutting out the foods of ordinary family meals is hard. Ask yourself: "Which means most to me, the loss of a few pounds or being a nuisance at mealtime?"
Don't keep on dieting if you feel that it disagrees with you. This holds good even when your food-list is carefully censored by a physician. The best of them will make mistakes Find out in time what is wrong.
Don't diet to excess at any time. Women often go to the point of weakening the entire system by injudiciously following a doctor's advice.
Common sense and moderation are
great ways to hold to in the matter
of food.
Stylish and becoming are vells of white ring dot net with the rings in black and a fine black lace border to match.
The winter's vells show large, octagonal meshes, sometimes plain, again with big woven dots.
Care should be exercised in wearing the vells or the nose sticking through the meshes gives a grotesque appearance.
The most becoming vell is a fine mixture of black and white, tiny black dots on white net being better than white on black. These have become known as the beauty vell because so many women wear them, regardless of style.
With the return of the belt to favor again, belt buckles in infinite variety have appeared. The simple enamel buckles in empire green, ruby, and dark blue are well liked for every day wear. With dressy gowns oblong or oval gilt designs in Louis XIV effects, scintillating with brilliants, add a smart touch to the toilet.
Nowcast Letter Paper.
Some of the prettiest note paper has a very narrow border of blue, pink, gray, lavender or red and one initial at the top set in a ring of color the exact shade as the border. Correspondence cards also are thus bordered and are very pretty.

The Russian emperor has written the following note on the margin of the report which M. Stolypin sent to his midstyf of Tolstoi's death: "I deplore the death of the great writer who embodied the golden age of his talent in his creations of types of the fatherland, constituting one of the most glorious periods of Russian life.

Fierce fighting occurred at Durango, Toronón, Patrol and Guerrero Pabache, the latter town falling into the hands of the rebels. Acquisition was characterized as a "philosophy of the beer mug" in a sermon preceded by Archbishop Glennon of St. Louis. Large number of delegates to the American Federation of Labor convention, including several Socialists, attended the services. An attempt to obtain federal regulation of cold storage foods that enter intimate commerce will be made in congress this winter. Senator Henry will report to the senate on a bill of this kind.
Continued difficulty in inducing merchants to pay prices on cotton goods in keeping with the high cost of production is giving rise to talk in the east of further curtailment of the output to meet the restricted demand.

MRS. CHAS. E. HUGHES
WASHINGTON Associate Justice Charles E. Hughes and Mrs. Hughes, now completely established as residents of the national capital, have taken a very beautiful house. They will entertain extensively, and as Mrs. Hughes is a charming hostess she will not need to rely on her official position to make her one of the leaders of Washington society henceforth.
LIFE IN YOKOHAMA
Chicago. Yokohama is very European. There are stately banks, marble office buildings and large hotels and business houses, and in some streets you could easily imagine yourself in any western city were it not for the whirling, kirkukas and the natives in klimones, says a Yokohama EVERYBODY TO USE AIRSHIPS
Moissant Says Flying Is Easy and That Planes Will Soon Be As Numerous As Autos.
New York—John B. Moissant, American aviator, declares that learning to guide an aeroplane is about as easy as learning to ride a bicycle or to walk stilts.
"There is no great mystery or great difficulty about operating an aeroplane," he said. "Everybody will realize this very soon.
"The next generation will use aeroplanes as we are now using automobiles. The perfection of the flying machine from now on will be very rapid and its perils will be found to be no greater than the perils of bursting tires and skidding wheels and faulty automobile mechanisms.
"Every person who makes a flight in an aeroplane comes back to earth with the same impressions. He tells you that it was a delightful experience; that it was something new, he was not a bit scared, and he is crazy to do it again. That tells the whole story."
CO-EDS AID A BLIND SENIOR
Girls Forego Luxuries and Allowances to Enable Sightless Student to Graduate.
New York.-Sentors at Barnard college, by sacrificing luxuries and donating part of their allowances, have enabled Margaret Hogan, a blind student, to secure her degree.
Miss Hogan, blind from birth and left an orphan when young, won a three-year scholarship at Barnard. Her advance was rapid. A wealthy woman became interested and took care of the girl up to the present year.
Miss Hogan was about to leave college to earn her own living when her classmates heard of it. They raised $150 among themselves for the girl.
Watch New High Tides.
Seattle, Wash.—Observations of浊性 the United States survey ship Meathar in its beringian and Kinki Arcs, Gulf of Alaska, show the first saline deserts in what are probably the second in most tides in the world. Capt. Henry I. Book of the Meathar, which has returned from the north, noted tides of 20° variation, and a total current of eight knots. The only tides which are known to exceed this records are in the Bay of Fundy.
PROHIBIT HUNTING IN CITY
correspondent of the Chicago Daily News.
It is hard to believe that only a little over 50 years ago Commodore Perry found Yokohama an insignificant fishing village. In those days Kanagawa across the bay was the main port, but as it was on the main road, the Tokido, and meetings between foreigners and the armed trains of the Daimyo passing to and from the capital were to be apprehended, Yokohama was brought into the foreground.
Much of Yokohama is, of course, truly Japanese, and we revealed in the quaint shops on the Motomchi, where there are no sidewalks and life goes on in true native fashion. There in the silk stores we eat, on
Mayor Propose Amendment to Old Ordinance Aliming at Practise of Chicago Sportmen.
Chicago. Though Chicago has a population of more than two millions, hunting in the city limits has become so prevalent that the mayor found it necessary to send a letter to the council, at the suggestion of the chief of police, proposing an amendment to the old hunting ordinance, which has been dolging duty since 1905 to the satisfaction of Chicago's stay-at-home hunter.
Most Chicagoans, who live in districts so congested that the report of a shotgun bring a dozen policemen on the jump, are not aware that it is the practice of many other Chicagoans, who know about the hunting grounds, to salty forth, in season, and return with a baggel of game birds without ever having left the city limits.
In a letter to the council, which accompanied the proposed amendment to the hunting ordinance, Mayor Husse told of the numerous complaints occasioned by "metropolitan hunting" that had reached Chief Steward and caused him to ask for action by the city fathers.
Wolf lake, Hyde lake, Lake Calumet and the Calumet river have been swarming with hunters in the shooting seasons of the past. At the continuance of these as hunting grounds the amendment is not aimed, and in future the echo of the reports of shotguns still will rise over their waters.
That section of the Chicago "happy hunting ground" which the mayor would move from the realm of the primelive into that of the metropolitan comprises a section of the lake shore on the South side, the shore of the drainage canal and several other favored haunts of game. The only restriction on hunting in the "open" districts is that no shots be fired within 750 feet of a house, factory or barn. The section where hunting would be prohibited is either by the passing of the amendment, would be beginning at the intersection of Seymour street with Lake Michigan, there west along Seventy-first street to South Reddie avenue, there along West Thirty-first street to South Porthill avenue, there north along South Porthill avenue to West Montrose avenue, there east along Montrose avenue to Western avenue.
matted floors to examine the goods presented for our inspection with deep bows or wandered among the toy shops as delighted as children over the many quaint contrivances. One night every other week the Motomachi is brilliantly lighted with strange little lanterns and the passing throngs carry others, so that the effect from the distance is entrancing. On these nights booths are arranged all along the street and you can finger anything without annoying the salesmen. We fell in love with the dwarf trees and with the tiny urchins having their months stuffed full of sugar by the candymaker, who bristled with pride when we carried long beside him. Strange beads and potted flowers were offered to us by shy little girls and all around us was a gay hulub, every one good nature, every one out to enjoy life, laughing and nudging 'and scrapping sandaled feet
On Benton-dorl our hands ran to our purse-strings constantly, so fascinating were the shops there. At Yamamoto we were shown the most superb old embroideries, and it was hard to make a selection, as we wanted all of them. Nozawaya's is a modern department store, and the curtain shops drive one distracted. Wonderful bits of old Imari, cabinet pieces too precious for nomads like ourselves, and old daggers, and Datmuyo hats tempted us on every side.
At a big silk store on Honcho-dorl the proprietor and his little wife bowed to the ground and offered us "ocha" (tea), which we drank out of consideration for them. There is something very charming about the old-time courtesy of these little people, and one is sorry to see it wearing away in the seascape towns, where we learned to despise the stamp of modernism in Japan. Like most people who spring suddenly into prominence, they are becoming arrogant and showing an overpowering sense of their own importance and a vanity not at all in proportion to their size. Tourists are doubtless largely responsible for this. Their manners shock even our hardened western sense of propriety and to the courtcous, gentle-mannered native their brusque ways and loud voices, their harsh comments and loud laughter must strike home painfully.
There is not much sightseeing to be done in Yokohama; the ride to Mississippi bay, to Mikusu's porcelain factory and to the little tea house on the bluff, which is reached by ascending 100 steps and is hallowed by the memory of Perry's visit to it, are the chief points of interest. It is the street sights, the shops and the comforts of living which hold the visitor in Yokohama.
During our stay we had three hideous days and nights to live through during a Buddhist feast, when up and down the native streets ran crowds of rough boys facnically attired, carrying josses on long poles and screaming and beating tomtoms and making life a burden to every one in the neighborhood. We were told that no policeman would dare to stop them while they carried josses, and in consequence they sometimes became dangerously excited and do all sorts of wild things.
and thence north along Western avenue to the city limits. Both ordinance and amendment prohibit the use of any weapon other than a shotgun.
THIS WARSHIP HAS NO GREW
Vessel Directed and Operated From Shore by Means of Wireless is the Latest.
New York.—The "crewless warship," a vessel directed and operated from shore by means of a complicated wireless apparatus, is the latest naval wonder in Germany, according to reports which have just reached the navy,men here.
Within a radius of 18 miles from the controlling apparatus the new warship, it is said, can be started, stopped, steered, and its guns controlled or fired by means of electrical waves communicated without wires.
The German naval experts are making experiments with a motor boat near Nuremberg. The statements of an eye witness who watched the progress of some of these trials is published here.
"The boat," he says, "was absolutely unmanned. All the apparatus on board was controlled from the bank of the lake by means of wireless telegraphy.
"When I first arrived the boat was lying motionless In the middle of the lake. No one on board. Suddenly a gun was fired on, the deck and I saw the screw begin to revolve and drive the boat forward.
"I watched the maneuvers of the unmanned boat for an hour during the daytime and again in the evening. At the end of each test the unmanned vessel was brought to her anchorage by the same unseen forces."
Expense of Yale Students.
New Haven, Conn.—It costs a Yale man at least $1,000 a year on an average to go through the course at that university. A postal card canvass of just years' freshmen class shows that 114 sent an average of $1,000 each, 117 sent more $1,000 and 159 sent $1,123.
The lavish expenditure of a four-men sent up the political average. Nineteen freshmen need less than $50 each. 18 sophomores less than $50 each, and 16 juniors less than $50. Of the 23 men last mentioned, 20 lived on less than $577.

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 NEWBIEST AND BEST in the country.
The estate of the white Kentucky lynched some months ago at Newark, has sued Licking County for $5,000 under the editor of The Gazette's Ohio Anti-Lynch law. See our Columbus, O., letter elsewhere in this paper. No color line in that law; even prejudiced Southerners are glad to use this work of an Afro-American.
Dr. Booker T. Washington has never drank the ambiguous, incorrect and misleading statements, the Hen, John E. Mulholland of New York City, charged him with making some weeks ago while both men were in Europe. American newspapers at the time republished Mr. Washington's interviews published in foreign newspapers, and it is silly and wrong for a few todying Afro-American publications to attempt to do for him what he steadfastly refuses to do for himself.

Cowardly and sycophantic Negroes and newspapers are far more responsible for the growth of color-lines and the lethargic condition of many of our people throughout both the north and the south when it comes to combating this deplorable condition of affairs than any other thing. The loyal members of the race everywhere must wake up and become more active along all racial lines, if the baneful new order of things is to be wiped out, at least to the minimum, and real and proper progress made.
Ohio Afro-Americans, like those of all the country, love, respect and honor our greatest and best white friend, ex-Senator J. B. Foraker. That is why they remembered so well, on the recent election day, not only Taft's political desertion of the race, Roosevelt's like act and also his lynching of "The Black Battalion;" but also ex-Lieut. Gov. Warren G. Harding's desertion of the Foraker cause at the most critical stage, when Roosevelt and Taft were "hounding" our great and good friend Foraker out of the United States senate.
United States senate.
Thanks to "the old reliable" Gazette, Ohio Afro-Americans under President Taft and his "new southern policy," which even invaded the north to the harm of the Afro-American federal employees here also. That is one reason why the president's home state so soundly repudiated his administration on election day recently. In this political repudiation must be included the few slavish Afro-Americans who were used in the vain effort "to stem the tide, of righteous indignation" which also all but absorbed every loyal voter of the face in the state. The only wonder is that Gov. Harmon's plurality at the recent election was not twice as large.
Too many alleged race newspapers are trying these days to mislead our people into believing what is untrue not only as regards matters political, but also in the matter of Dr. Booker T. Washington's harmful missitations abroad as well as at home. Such publications should be shunned by our people, because they are far more harmful than open and avowed enemies of other races. There is entirely too much of this sort of thing. It is encouraging the most dangerous kind of duplicity in the race right when it can least afford to confront it. Race newspapers and leaders should be loyal, frank and honest with our people to an extraordinary degree.
Beware of the cowardly and sycophant alleged race newspaper. It will do anything to curry the favor of some cheap "white" politician or prominent person in order that a little personal benefit may accrue, even at the expense of great harm to the race. It seems almost, a crime for anyone of the race to hold a conservation of race interests so lightly as to be capable of ever attempting to subordinate vital racial interests to self-interests or to the promotion of any individual's or thing's advancement. Real manhood, true race loyalty, proper self and hate respect are unknown qualities to such cringing, cowardly and traitorous publications.
"BARBAROUS MEXICO" STRIKES BACK.
In recent weeks "chivalrous" south
ermers who love the great? (4) American
"pastime," lynched a Mexican in
Texas who was charged with murder,
by burning him at the stake. This so
enraged many citizens of that country as to cause the recent Mexican anti-American demonstrations, and the issuance of a circular which was spread broadcast throughout that country for a purpose obvious. The following is an extract (from the circular) full of references to the series of muckraking articles on "Barbarous Mexico" which appeared some time ago in a 15-cent American magazine. It is certainly a fine piece of very pertinent sarcasm. Read it carefully:
"Rodriguez died for the country he
loved, for his Mexico whose frontiers
were so far, for his barbarous Mexico where justice still reigns, for his barbarous Mexico where murderers are not burned alive, for his Mexico where sentiments of humanity exist and where tribunals are supplied to punish offenders against the law, barbarous Mexico they call our country, they who applied the torch to the clothes of Rodriguez; barbarous Mexico, they who defied and outraged the law, snatching from it a man whose life ought to have been sacred because it was under society's protection; barbarous Mexico, they those organized assassins of defenseless strangers and oppressed Negroes; barbarous Mexico, they those idolizers of the dethroned king of the prize ring, Jim Jeffries!"
Isn't the above rich? None can more thoroughly appreciate, it than our people. But what have those people in this country who wish to spread cipillar-stress over the ugly score (lynching) of our land to say as to the facts in the Mexican charges, as to the logical deduction from these facts, as to the moral drawn from the callous indifference of the state governments and the United States government regarding the outrages perpetrated on its own citizens, white and black (mainly the latter), and on foreigners? What of the horrible indifference of the people, especially the Christian church, as to such hideous conditions? Would it not be better to look things squarely in the face, acknowledge their wrong and abolish such a horrible state of affairs?
MILHOLLAND VS. WASHINGTON
"The very influential Mr. Milholland of New York feels aggrieved at the character of speeches Mr. Washington is making in Europe. Englishmen and in fact all Europe read our American papers. The lawlessness of any portion of the country is known the world over. For Mr. Washington to say that a few Negroes ride in Pullman cars in the south is misleading True a Negro purchasing a showroom for Atlanta from Philadelphia may ride, but for that Negro to purchase the ticket in Atlanta or Memphis for Philadelphia is another show. Mr Washington applied to a special car to travel to Tennessee and Arkansas and a portion of Oklahoma and what did he do? Simply a day coach with no other accommodations. If it is true that Negroes can ride in a Pullman coach in the south it does seem that he should be able to get a special car with accommodations commensurate with his standing. It is true that certain Negroes do ride in Pullman cars and these Negroes can get their tickets at any place in the colored girl with a turban on her head or as maid with an apron on can ride anywhere she desires. She is the servant of a white woman and is nursing her child and this is her place and since she is satisfied to do this all of the "Jim Crow" laws don't interfere with her. Yes she can ride anywhere and southern sisters like to have them. But that same girl with a diploma in her hand, music in her fingers and head, poetry in her brain and literature on her head the tongue, can't ride in that coach. She is an unplush Negro and for her ride in a Pullman coach means spoiling the best view of them but it is useless to strain the truth to be thought well of in our towns where we live. If Mr. Washington knows anything, he knows that railroad men of the south, especially ticket agents, are the nearest set of decent men in the south and they delight in humiliating a Negro. Some of them are so uncouch till they almost refuse to sell you a ticket and then they will make you wait as long as they can. There are some exceptions, but the rule is, mean men in ticket offices. However, this is the issue: "Is Mr. Washington giving Europe the truth?" Mr. Milholland, a very rich man, disputes him and certainly the history of "Jim Crowism" is on the side of the latter. Optimism is good and all should encourage it but when truth is desired, that should come in preference to all things. The fact is, no colored man can condone the south for admitting servant girls and a few cringling colored men to the Pullman cars when they shut out the majority of the race, and as a general thing no Negro need apply. The hundreds of girls and boys in Mr. Washington's school can tell him if he does not know it that they, though getting the education, the South endorses, can't get a Pullman car ticket. It would be interesting to know the result if one of the Tuskegee students would apply for a Pullman car ticket at the ticket office there. It is due the Negro that his ills are properly set forth without changing them either way—Rochester (N. Y.) Sentel.
The Bahamas.
The Bahamas have no descendants now of the Indians whom Columbus found there. They were carried away by the Spaniards to work in mines and pearl fisheries elsewhere, when they were not ruthlessly exterminated. Of the white population unary are the descendants of the Loyalists of Georgia and South Carolina who died hither when the United States became independent. The blacks' speech presents one specially curious feature: they exchange their vs and ws, exactly as the Londoner did when Mr. Welley insisted upon spelling his name with a "We."

DRUNK, BRUTAL OR STUPID?
WITH Samuel Gompers, made the cool proposal to keep millions of brown men in our country in a condition that presents them from rising into a more advantageous one, by denying them the charge he and associates in labor unions enjoy, he must have either drunk or grazed with race pride, with haughtiness or crazy with vanity which has been aptly called by a German American satirist, "the flatulency of the brain." It is not worth while to consider the argument underlying the proposal, the object is so plain, as to suggest a quotation from Goethe: "One notices the purpose and food discomforted, put out of time, as it were." It remains to be seen what gettion, if any, the unions themselves will take in the matter, whether they will endure this heartless, cruel and mean plan which, if its final resource is stupid beyond measure, since in its practical results it would create a class of "scabs" that could and would be used to break down labor union strikes, etc. But it is even more interesting to observe the stand the Socialists will take in this matter. They cannot endorse it, it true to their principles. Will they fight it to the finish, or will they, too, prove themselves wanting in the scabs? We shall see. It is remarkable how well this "parrot" has learned the southern phrase, "two centuries removed from savagery and fifty years from charlie's slavery." Well repeated, "Parrot" Gompers! That ought to bring you the vice-presidency on the Democratic ticket in 1912.
DIAZ' FIRM DEMAND OF TAFT.
Inists Upon Reparation and Punishment of Slayers of Antonio Rodriguez—President Taft Replies.
Washington, D.C.—The Mexican embassy here has received no infiltration that Antonio Rodriguez, the Mexican lynch-murdered recently by, a Texas mob, was in reality a native and citizen of the United States, and President Diaz has repeated firmly his demand on the United States for reparations for his fathers. His note purports to be in answer to one from President Taft on the subject, and a feature of the communication that attracts interest here is that President Diaz thanks Mr. Taft for his "promise to punish those guilty of crimes." Exactly what such a promise, if really made in set terms, would be worth is problematical as under the Constitution and the unvarying practice since the establishment of the Government, the Federal authorities, and must rely altogether upon the energy and good will of the state authorities. While the note for President Taft expressed all confidence in the good faith of this Government, it also refers pointedly to the fact that the Mexican Government has already committed the punishment of her citizens who took part in outrages on Americans.

$1.50 FARE BETWEEN CLEVELAND AND BUFFALO.
The C. & B. Lline daily steamers are making a special autumn fare of $1.50 between Cleveland and Buffalo until November 29th, Berths, $1.00 and $1.50. Steamers leave Cleveland daily 8:00 p. m. and arrive Buffalo 9:00 m. central time. Leave Buffalo 6:30 n. m. eastern time, arrive Cleveland 6:30 n. m.
When traveling between these two cities bear this route in mind.

Made It On the Farm in Kansas-
Landed in That State Without a
Hutchinson, Kansas. A few days ago John W. Thomas, a member of the race, planked down something like $10,000 cash for a piece of farming land south of this city and also closed a deal about the same time for the $15,000 prize he won for $15,000. Thirty years ago Mr. Thomas came to Kansas without a dollar and took old jobs but did not stay in the city. He sought the country and began farming. Today he is one of the most highly respected residents of central Kansas, is worth not less than $40,000, owns a couple of horses, a baby boy, a touring car, enjoys other luxuries of life, and has earned every dollar of it by hard work from Kansas soil. And while winning a substantial fortune Mr. Thomas has also been rearing a good sized family, for he has been the father of 19 children, 12 of whom are living. He has been married to a woman, his first marriage, and his present wife is the mother of 17 children. Ten of these are living. The two oldest John and Clifford, are in Grant County. The other eight are residing at home. The oldest of the children is 29, the youngest of three John W. Thomas was born in 1811 at 41 years old and was a child owner in the town of Kearney. He came to Kearney at the age of 20 and was just beginning to be married and then beginning to earn in farming in St. Louis county near St. John, where he lived about a mile from the town. He has lived in Grant county also and owns a farm near Kearney on Cow creek, north of Hutchinson, where this year he grew one of the four corn crops of the year, yielding extra heavy. He also lives a small farm south of the town where he resides, a mile from the town. He has lived in Grant county also and owns a farm property here. He home is a large residence which stands on a knoll south west of the Moe plant, and which can be seen on miles around. He has lived in Grant county also and owns a movie room, of the children are being given not only a library, but a musical education he drives a fine carriage team, but also owns a touring car, although preyed the team for driving. At 11 o'clock every possible Mr. Thomas is a member of the A M E. church and is also a Mason.
SAM GOMPERS' "TALK"
Would: Bar Afro-Americans From Labor Union. Pre-South Carolina.
St. Louis, Mo. President Sam Gompers, in his speech at the American Federation of Labor banquet her last week, advocated the elimination of Negroes from the labor unions of America. He said the supremacy of the Canadian race in the unions should be maintained. "There are some Negroes in the United States," said Gompers, "and to my mind they cannot all be expected to understand the philosophy of human rights. I do not believe they should be permitted to join our unions, lacking, as they do for the most part, the very necessary knowledge in the economic world." "They are less than two centuries away from the barbarians of their own African land and a little less than a half-century removed from chatted slavery. I am not condemning the Negro, but we cannot expect a change in the moral, moral and social, tending to tear down to understand the fundamental philosophy of human rights. This is not a theory, but a condition, with which we have to deal." Gompers also declared that he would stand aside for no man in his desire for the brotherhood of man, was a na-mace to American standards of life and must be combated by the white race if it hoped to maintain supremacy on the American continent.
Youth's Companion Calendar.
The publishers of The Youth's Companion (Joston, Mass.) will, as always at this season, present to every subscriber whose subscription ($1.75) for the new year. The picture panel reproduces a water-color painting of an old-time garden in a flood of summer sunshine, with a background of Lombardy poplars through which one catches a glimpse of distant hills. The trees are helium in 12 colors, the tomes of the original are faithfully reproduced.
This might be termed our "Booker T. Washington issue," and then it might not. Of course, this depends on how you view matter, and the cold, hard facts we present anent what that distinguished gentleman has said abroad in recent months.
Absurd Milkman.
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the government's famous food expert, said in Washington, apropos of food adulteration:
"One ingenious chap defended the use of chemical preservatives. All preservatives were chemicals, he claimed. Salt which preserved bacon and mackerel, was a chemical, and, therefore, borax or asilic acid should be no more dreaded, in themselves than salt.
"It made me laugh, that defense. It reminded me, in its absurd impudence, of the milkman to whom a customer said:
"Why do you persist in putting water in your milk?"
"But do you know of anything cheaper, sir?" the milkman asked."
A Geographical Loss.
Col. Cecil Lyon, Republican national committeeman from Texas, went to Mexico City with a friend of his on one occasion, and, while he was there, sat in for a ten-cent limit poker game in which his friend was the banker. The colonel won $25, but his friend deferred payment until they had returned to their home in Texas. Then he gave the colonel $14. "I asked Lyon," he said. "Well, you see," explained the friend, "you won $28 in Mexico, where one American dollar is worth two in the currency those people use, consequently, you get only $1 for $2." Popular Magazine.

THE LEGEND OF THE LARK
Japanese Have Many Stories 'About Their Birth' Which is the Following
The Alm (the aborigines of Japan)
have many legends about birds, one
of which is very pretty. It is thus
given by a recent writer:
"The skylar used to live in heaven, the day, the God of heaven sent him down to the earth with a message for the gods who reside here, telling him to return the same day. But the little bird thought the earth such a nice place that he stayed to play. He was here, so long that it began to grow dark, and he therefore determined to spend the night on the ground. The next day he arose in the air to return to heaven, but God him when he was about six score feet up and said: 'Why did you not return as I told you?' As, therefore, you have disobeyed my words you shall not return to heaven, but live upon the earth. Although you may attempt to fly as high as heaven, yet you shall never be able to get any higher than one or two scores of six feet. The little bird was exceedingly concerned at this, and arguing with God, said: 'Oh, great God, as the world you made is so beautiful I could not help taking a look at it and so got late. Although you chide me for this, yet I came back to heaven.' In this way you answered that God did not consent. Therefore the bird grew more and more distressed, daily went as high as he could, pleading all the time; yet God would never consent to his entrance into heaven again. He therefore returned to the earth to play. After a time he ascended and did the same thing, yet God did not consent. The same thing continues to happen now every summer, but God never will allow him to return."
"This, as I have said, is very pretty and even spiritual, but it seems to have been a happy incident, for it is in striking contrast to the other legends, which are more or less stupid and pointless." Forest and Stream.
PRESS AS A HOSTILE POWER
In 1633 Roger L'Estrange, "Overseer of the Press," Advocated the Severest Restrictions.
There was a time in England when government officially viewed the press as a hostile power, to be destroyed if possible—to be curbed at any cost. In 1633 Roger L'Estrange, "Overseer of the press," brought out his "Considerations and Proposals in Order to the Regulation of the Press." He advocated the severest restrictions for authors and printers, as well as for "the letter-founders and the smiths and joiners that work upon the premise," and "the stitchers, blinders, stationers, hawkers, mercury women, peddlers, ballad singers, posts, carriers, hackney couchmen, boatmen and mariners." A proposal of L'Estrange was that culprits convicted of having broken the law should be condemned "to wear some visible badge or mark of ignominy, as a halter instead of a hatband, wearing blue and another red, a blue bonnet with a red letter T or S upon A." It a few years later L'Estrange went one better by "dealing that newspapers ought not to be allowed at all. He said that the reading of them "makes the multitude too familiar with the actions and councils of their peritors, too pragmatical and censurous, and gives them not only an itch but a kind of colorable right and license to be meddling with the government." In 1685 L'Estrange was knighted.

RAGE
An English lady has sent $13,000 to
Willerton university by Miss Hallio
Q. Britain who recently returned from
a tour of that country.
Charles H. Turkin was elected a constable in St. Louis recently, the first of the race ever elected to office of any kind in that city. Edward Brown, an assistant in the Virginia state library at Ri'hmond, has served to years without losing a day. Edward H. G. Green of Chicopee, Father of Illinois anti-lynching law (much like our Oloy Law), enacted several years ago, was re elected to the legislature of that state at the present election. Sacrificing her own life, Lifie Pressman, a member of the rare employed Whalley, wife of a mercantile district in a hospital in Albany, Ga., from burns sustained while she and her mistress' life, Mr. Daniel Murray of the library of congress, Washington, D. C., is still working on his bibliography of the American Negro, Mr. Murray from the North Carolina district, who has devoted practically all of twenty years in its preparation. The North Carolina Mutual and Provider association, John Merrick, president; C. C. Spaulding, vice president and general manager; Dr. A. M. Moore, secretary and treasurer, stands at the head of all the Negro insurance companies in eleven years amounting to $2,000,000. Pennsylvania got its first Afro-American legislator at the recent election Hon. Harry W. Bass, elected in a Philadelphia district, O. W. Coe, slowly it is true, but the spirit in spite of the milling or two of coloring bars in this county.
Mr. Daniel Murray, assistant librarian of congress, was in Worcester, Mass., last work in the interest of the late John Savary, who died some months ago, leaving an ex-wife who is a collector, was left several thousand dollars to attend to some special literary work left unfinished by the institute aside from managing the estate.
The Carnegie Hero commission honored two African American assistant librarians, Martin L. Rivers and nurse, who lost her life in an attempt to save Martin L. Sterling while detritus. Her mother is to receive a silver medal and $20 a month for life. The second, Justin McCarthy, is to get a bronze medal and $2,000 to compilate his education for covering Miss Lloyd Ace.
The Ace directs the special attention of the pulpit and the people to the discouraging habit of colored men and women of loud talking in public places, in the streets and in the cars. The pulpit, we are sure, is not afraid to speak out against the rudeness of men and women of loud talking and boisterousness, in many instances, explain why so many Negroes are objectionable in public resorts.—New York Ace.
It's a funny thing about fighters—they never know how to take care of themselves. How much more sensitive are the men and women of the ring and live in quiet luxury on the money he made at Reno and in vand-ville. Instead of that, he tries to spend all his money in high living and ruins his health. About the time his treasury runs low he'll be in such poor physical condition that burns or somebody like that will take away his title.—Cleveland Daily Press.
In a recent address Rev. William J. Boone of Noxubee Industrial school McLeod, Miss., said that in the county in which the school is located there are between 5,000 and 6,000 Afro-American students. "The darkened the door" of a school house. There are 15,000 school children in the county, which has a population of 20,000. He also told something of the work Noxubee school is doing. It has an area of land with five school buildings and 300 students. The school is located in state aid and Mr. Boone mission in the north is to raise funds for it. Hysteria is the basis of the recurring litigation in favor of substituting life imprisonment for the death penalty. In this country we are quite often at violence in all its lawless forms. The murder of the community, the murder is threatened with execution that a protest is heard in the land. Let the law, after giving the accused every advantage, find a man guilty of staging another, there arise thousands of maudlin pleas for mercy. Americans are not exempt when it is claimed by due process of law—Judge Goff of New York.

Newark Men Convicted
Newark, O.—The jury Monday evening found William McKinley and Lamar Smith guilty of assault and battery in the Etherington case wherein the Etherington charged with assaulting the "dry" suspect in grounds. It was this assault that resulted in the shooting of ex-People Captain William Howard by Carl Etherington and the lynching of the young man the same evening. These were the same people held in court. The jury was not out on the before-agreeing upon the verdict.

Why Give
Thanks?
By Anna
Steese
Richardson
She thinks the girls who have cause for thanksgiving are those whose fathers, mothers, brothers and sweet hearts strew the pathway at home and abroad with roses and theatre tickets. She belongs to the large class of working girls who believe that only the girl of leisure has any real pleasures in life.
She does not know that the roses cast at the feet of the girl who is dependent upon parents and relatives are thick with thorns.
She has never heard a mother upbraid her daughter for extravagance one minute and then load the girl with new frocks, hats and gloves of her own choosing the next.
She never dreams that the girl who must look to mother and father for every penny is often afraid to ask for the one thing she must want, because her parents prefer to think and plan for her.
This girl never knows the joy of doing just what she wants just when she likes—which the dun-co. red lady does seven days in the week.
There are stout girls who weep because their mothers insist upon buying plaid silk frocks or blouses for them, and thin girls whose misguided mothers dress them in severely plain, unsoftened tailored suits.
The dun-colored lady may wear what she will. It is her own fault if her life as well as her clothing is drab.
She has made of duty a fetish, on whose altar she is sacrificing her youth and her pleasure.
She thinks that because she must work for her living, she cannot enjoy the pleasures allotted to the girl of leisure.
What that dun-colored little lady needs more than anything else is contact, physical and spiritual, with normal, healthy, happy, wage-earning girls of whom there are millions all over the United States.
and its societies, a free library just around the corner, a weekly visit to the theatre, where she manages to see all the better productions, an occasional concert, as many invitations to evening card parties as she cares to accept; and yet she has no reason for giving thanks!
Why?
Because she must earn all these things. She must pay part of the rent of the tiny little apartment. She must pay her own dressmaking and millinery bills from her wages. Often she must pay for her own theatre tickets and concert admissions.
Above all, she ought to know a beautiful character who recently came into my own business life.
Here was a woman close to 50, whose husband deserted her for a younger but certainly not more attractive woman. She had lived the absolutely sheltered life, never worrying as to where the next month's rent and the next week's mei. bill must come from, always assured of her weekly allowance and content in her daily routine of home-making.
Then suddenly all was swept from her—husband, funds, sense of security, protection and privacy.
through the womaniness and intelligence of its business girls.
So much have the little dun-colored ladies to be grateful for—independence, and honor and happiness in independence, if only they will follow the girls who have learned to walk on the sunny side of life's broad street.
All happiness is comparative. All causes for Thanksgiving are comparative. Do not look towards those who are better off than yourself when you are counting your beads of gratitude.
Look rather on the state of those who may well envy you—and then give thanks.—Chicago Inter Ocean.
THANKSGIVING
step forward and the Open Road into the future cleared and kept open, never to be closed and kept closed by any force or any fraud. If we doubt that constructible ideas have this force in them for the future we have only to look around us into the present and back into the past which they and they alone converted into this present. These things are for all men. For ourselves, man by man, if today we can look back and see how by the use of any idea of ours we have been able to escape struggle, to subject others, and to dominate them while giving a single constructive idea its force in serving them, or if we can look into the future and see opportunities opening before us for this,
"If I were sure the candy sold in that shop was pure and free from bacteria, I should be glad to get you a couple of pounds," says the scientific swain. "But in these days of reckless adulterators I feel that I cannot take too many precautions to preserve your health and beauty."
The fair young thing, who has a normal candy appetite, coos a word of appreciation of his thoughtfulness. Next they approach a place where a soda fountain continues its glad work.
"You are fond of soda and ice cream, are you not?" he asks.
"I just love it."
"If it weren't so often filled with dangerous germs I would be happy to get you some."
The Day We Celebrate
will continue in vogue as long as the republic exists.
This holiday is popular also because its pleasures are so enjoyable to all. The elders are prone on this occasion to recall the past with its joys and sorrows; while the young are having such a pleasant time they are unconcealedly gathering material for agreeable memories in the future.
Instead of being a time for fasting,
it is a day for enjoying the good
HANKS GIVING DAY.
Humph! It's easy enough for the President to give thanks on $50,000 a year, but what about the rest of us?"
T
Can't you see her fing down the morning paper with the Thanksgiving proclamation in big type on the front page?
In imagination, can't you hear the scornful, embittered accent of her care-rasped tones?
And don't you know her sort?—drab-colored frock, drab-colored hair, drab-colored complexion and drab-colored views of life? Just one of "the rest of us," to whom the presidential salary of $50,000 a year represents a sum on which she thinks she could live comfortably to the end of her days.
She is one of the thousands, too, who think that every man, woman or child save themselves has cause for giving thanks.
Yet why is she so pessimistic? She has a position which pays a fair salary. She likes her work, or rather takes pride in the results of her labors.
She has reasonably good health and would have better if she would only learn to walk on the sunny side of life's broad street.
She is able to lay aside a small sum each week toward the inevitable rainy day—and she could wear much more becoming clothes if she knew how and took pleasure in choosing them. No one insists upon her wearing dull colors, which make her look old and faded.
Every night; she goes home to a tidy little apartment, presided over by a tidy little mother and supported in part by a cheerful younger sister. Here she finds the order she loves and the cooking which she enjoys.
For pleasure she has her church and its societies, a free library just around the corner, a weekly visit to the theatre, where she manages to see all the better productions, an occasional concert, as many invitations to evening card parties as she cares to accept; and yet she has no reason for giving thanks!
Because she must earn all these things. She must pay part of the rent of the tidy little apartment. She must pay her own dreammaking and millinery bills from her wages. Often she must pay for her own theatre tickets and concert admissions.
As this is Thanksgiving and we all have stomachs whose appeals belong properly to this and to every other day in the year, let us give thanks for the things of the stomach, for turkey if we have turkey, for goose if we have goose, for sausage if we have sausage. For the power to earn and to enjoy the things of the stomach, we may be thankful, since the power to earn what our own stomachs call for is the power to serve the needs of all other stomachs. And instead of being shameful or regrettable from any standpoint, an unspoiled stomach is natural, is right, is commendable and moreover is inevitable in its operations.
But over and above everything between turkey and sausage we have "potentials." A potential is a simple thing. A shoemaker or a machinist is as apt to have it as an Archduke or a Czar, or a supreme court judge or a senator or a president. It comes into the brain as a constructive idea. It works out of one brain into ten, a hundred, a thousand, a hundred million. Then it is a force nothing can resist.
Put men with constructive ideas into the wilderness and the desert and their ideas will show themselves the highest realities, controlling all difficulties. What were the worst difficulties serve constructive ideas as the raw material for great states and great cities, for fields yielding their products year by year in the hundreds of millions of bushels or of dollars, for new creation in a thousand ways, depriving none and enriching all, with new opportunities created at every

Some one told her she was wonderfully well preserved for her years. The compliment gave her an idea. She said: "I've kept down wrinkles, manicured my hands, and exercised my figure into good condition, all for myself. I wonder if I could show other women how?" She took a few lessons from expert manicurists and facial masseuses, had some cards printed; rented a tiny flat, moved in what was left of her old home-fittings, established her mother and picked up her now life with a smile. I asked her today why she was thankful. She smiled her radiant, honest smile and answered: "Oh, for so much! First, to think that a way was opened for me to earn my living and thus be independent. "Second, for my health. I feel so strong and capable again. "Third, for my mother. She makes home for me now.
"Fourth, for the fact that I do not owe a dollar. Debt is such a terrible thing to face on Thanksgiving morning."
How the dun-colored little lady would have stared at our new-found friend.
"What's the use of being healthy and good-looking," she would ask. "If the man you had loved for years is not around to admire you?
"And what is the use of being thankful for just a mother. Every one has a mother—and then this woman must support her mother from her slender earnings. That looks more like a cause for worry than for thanks.
"Then one deserves no credit for being out of debt when you have so small an income that you do not dare have anything charged."
Dun-colored little ladies always have their own arguments with which to fight any unruly feelings of thanksgiving and happiness.
But of a truth the wage earning woman today has much for which to be thankful. I recently met a whitahaired woman, who ranked among the pioneer business women of New York.
She said that when she first opened her shop, the curious-minded, boys, men and women, used to hang round the door for a peek at her and often followed her on the street.
The American girl in business is particularly fortunate, according to the light of an Englishman, who has been studying sociological conditions in America.
He found himself one noon at a great white and gold restaurant in the financial district of New York City. All around him at other tables were well-groomed, well-dressed, well-behaved young women. He said to his host:
"And who are these' young women? Do they buy and sell stocks?"
His host smiled.
"Not at all. They are our stenographers, clerks and private secretaries." "Ah—" said the bewildered Englishman, "but—er—they look so like ladies."
Yes, we have reached the point where we may work for our living and still be regarded as ladies in the broadest sense of the word.
Broadwinning is today a badge of honor, and the woman who earns her own living is not a social cutout. So much snobbery has America lost through the womaniness and intelligence of its business girls.
So much have the little dun-colored ladies to be grateful for—independence, and honor and happiness in independence, if only they will follow the girls who have learned to walk on the sunny side of life's broad street.
All happiness is comparative. All causes for Thanksgiving are comparative. Do not look towards those who are better off than yourself when you are counting your beads of gratitude. Look rather on the state of those who may well envy you—and then give thanks. -Chicago Inter Ocean.
then we can see that which, for each one of us, man by man, means power, the highest possible power for us, as for each one of us and for all it is liberation. Were there only one man in the million of us who had such cause for Thanksgiving as that would mean for himself and for all of us, all would surely go forward with him to greater power, to fuller prosperity, to the only possible independence, the independence which belongs to the highest possible freedom of service. The man who has such independence has the highest cause for Thanksgiving—
That man is freed from servile dances of hopes to or fears to fall, Loathing to or fearing to fall, And, having nothing, yet hath all.
This time she does not coo appreciatively, and they continue their homeward walk in silence. When he is leaving her, he bashfully hints that he would like to kiss her good-by.
"You may," she says, to his surprise.
"You can be sure there won't be any germs in the kiss, either, for you haven't given me the chance to acquire any."
He sleeps but little that night, because of his mental effort to determine whether she is thoughtful or sarcastic.
"Then there is no bowing to public men in America?"
"No; we call it respect for the office."
things of life. The feasting of the occasion is also in accordance with the practice of bygone days. In spite of what some historians may say, our ancestors thought as much of their stomachs as do the present generation; and were fully as able to attend to their religious duties after a bountiful repast as before.
Thanksgiving day has always been more noted for its feasting than fasting. The feasting was the agreeable method employed for giving thanks for favors received.
PRESIDENT OF NEW REPUBLIC
Senor Theophile Bragan, Who Was Chosen to Heid the Relins of Portugal's Government.
Lisbon. Chief among those who deferred King Manuel of Portugal and sent him a fugitive to the friendly asylum of other shores is Senor Theophile Bragan, first president of the Portuguese republic.
Senor Bragan has been styled the Victor Hugo of Portugal. He is the son of a Lisbon doctor and was born in the Azores in 1843. His connection with republicanism began in 1870, but he did not become active in politics until quite recently. Early in the present year he was elected a deputy for Lisbon and at once, owing to his ability as a speaker, his great fund

of information, his standing as an educator and his power of leadership, took a prominent part among the republicans, who were seeking the regeneration of their country. Senior Braga is a poet and a philosopher. For years he was professor of literature at the High Literary College in Laibon, and is an author of note. In all he has published 120 volumes and was the last man one would suspect of becoming involved in a revolution. It is too early yet to predicate as to his future, but one would expect the republic to be safe in his hands.
SOURCE OF RUBBER SUPPLY
New One Recently Has Been Found
In Mexico in the Palo
Amarillo Tree.
City of Mexico.—Another practical
and very extensive source of crude
rubber supply was recently discovered
in the vicinity of Guanajuato. It is
the palo amarillo tree, which grows
wild in a broad scope of territory
borrowing the Pacific coast and extending
towards the interior as far as Guanajuato. The commercial possibilities of this tree as a producer of rubber have been thoroughly tested by the Mexican government, and by representatives of large American interests that are investing considerable capital in the new industry.
The palo amarillo tree bears no resemblance to the guayule shrub from which large quantities of rubber are being manufactured in Northern Mexico and Southwestern Texas. This tree is also of a different species from the rubber tree of the tropical regions of Mexico and other countries. It attains a height of about 30 feet. Its trunk gets to be of a thickness of one to two feet. The tree is of rapid growth, reaching a commercial size in five years. It knows that the palo amarillo tree is being utilized for the manufacture of crude rubber has caused a number of independent rubber concerns to enter the new field of industry, to the extent that they are active.
The Palo Amarillo Tree. by purchasing all the available tracts of trees in the territory that has not been invaded by the pioneer company. It is expected that a number of independent rubber manufacturing plants will be established during the next few months and that it will not be a great while until the palo amarillo-industry will rival that of guayule rubber, in which more than 65 million dollars gold has been invested during the last few years.
With the assurance that the palate amarillo tree and the guajupe shrub can be easily, propagated and that their growth is adapted to a large area of country the question of the possible permanency of the rubber supply of the world is practically solved.
Woman Blamed for Suicides.
Philadelphia.—That suicide in this country is largely contributed to because of woman's invasion of man's field of work is the opinion of Dr. John Chalmers Da Costa. Moreover, he declares, this and other tills will increase if women persist in leaving the home for business. In a paper read before the American Philosophical society here Dr. Da Costa said:
"If woman continues to invade man's calling she will pay a dreadful penalty in insanity and suicide and in the idolatry of her progeny, and she will wreck the chief hope of civilization—the clean, decent, happy home. The blatant and militant suffragette, is well along on the highway of degeneration."
An Expansive Snake.
Washington—Not every creature can swallow another bigger than itself, but there is a little water snake at the Aquarium that does this handily. The water snake is a foot and a half long and about as big around as a big lead head, say a scant five-sevenths of an inch in diameter, but it will corner and capture a killerfish an inch and a half long and close to half an inch in diameter and pull it down whole casually.
GREAT OCEAN BOAT
Olympic, Recently Launched, Is Largest in the World.
Bilp Is One-Sixth of a Mile Long,
Ninety-Two and One-Half Feet
Wide and Will Transport
2,500 Passengers.
Delfast, Ireland...At the immense ship-building yards here recently was launched the world's largest steamship, the Olympia of the White Starling. The Olympia craft, to be used in carrying passengers across the Atlantic between New York city and Southampton, is 822 feet long, has a bridth of 92 feet and a height, from the keel to the top of the captain's house of 162 feet. There are 14 steel decks and 15 water tank balloons. Exceeding one sixth of a mile in length the Olympia is nearly 100 feet longer than any ship now about and, compared with her, the Great Eastern, launched in 1858, would seem a dwarf. The Olympic will carry a crew of 890 and will have accommodations for 2,500 passengers, the passenger staterooms and the various public apartments to be exceptionally spacious, while the beauty and luxury of the appointments will surpass anything ever attempted aboard a ship.
In addition to lounging rooms, restaurants, smoking apartments, saloons and the like, the Olympic will have in the line of special attractions, swimming pools, sun parlor, sport decks, tennis courts and palm gardens. The decks will be connected by passenger elevator, much the same as the various floors of a modern office building. The gross tonnage of the Olympic will be 45,000, and the ocean monster will have a displacement of 60,000 tons. Every part of the lethathan has been constructed with a view to strength. There is a double bottom, extending the entire length, the depth being five feet, three inches for the whole distance except under the engine room, where it is increased to six feet, three inches. The double bottom alone contains more than a half million rivers, weighing about 270 tons, while in the complete ship,

shell plates and steel decks, there are more than 3,000,000 rivets, with a total weight of 1,200 tons. Every part of the vessel and all its belongings are on the same massive scale as the gigantic shell itself. The anchors weigh more than 15 tons each, and each link of the cable is two feet in length and weighs over 130 pounds. The rudder, while weighing more than 100 tons, may be controlled as easily as though it were a feather, its movements being directed by electricity. The Olympic will be fitted with triple screws, propelled by engines which combine the reciprocating principle with the low-pressure turbine, a system which practically eliminates vibration. The speed of the Olympic will be 22 knots an hour.
A Bug In the Ear
Pittsburg.—Those long, shiny instruments that doctors solemnly poke into your ear when a little bug makes a mistake and gets into the wrong house really aren't necessary to show the bug the error of his way. All you need is a box of matches, with a friend whose hand is steady, to light them one by one and hold them as close to your ear as is consistent with safety. The world is indebted to John Sunders of Colwyn, Pa., for its discovery. The other day while at work a bug crawled into his ear, causing him great pain, and sympathetic friends gathered round him to offer what did they might. Then one of them struck a match and held it close to get a better view into the ear. Instantly the pain stopped. While the flame flickered and went out the pain began again. "Light another match," begged Sunders. They did, and a dozen after that. Presently the bug, responding to the light, emerged and was killed.
The International Salute.
Washington. Twenty-one guns, the number fired in the international salute, was not selected at random. The number is chosen by our government because it was the number long used by the British for their international salute. Why the British used 21 guns was no doubt due to an early custom which had for a warship salute seven guns. A fort was allowed to fire three times as many guns as a warship, because in those days it was difficult to keep powder in good condition at sea. It could be kept in good condition on land, and consequently the shore battery was allowed a large number, or 21. When the time arrived that better powder was made and it could be carried at sea without deterioration, the warship was allowed the same number of guns as the shore battery, and the 21 of today are the result.

FIFTY YEARS A RIVER PILOT
Theodore Hall Recalls When a Boat Frequently Would Pay for itself on First Trip.
St. Louis - For 47 years in continuous service as pilot and master of boats on rivers in the Mississippi valley is the record of Theodore F. Hall of Klimswick, Mo. He is still in active service and is now pilot on the steamer City of Savannah, owned by the St. Louis and Tennessee River Navigation company. Mr. Hall is sixty-six years old. He says he will continue in the river trade until he has rounded out 60 years on the water, then retire and move out on a farm, where he will raise Angora goats.
Mr. Hall received his pilot's license in 1822 and has held it ever since. He
Thomas F. Hall.
received his master's license 24 years ago, in 1858. His first trip as a pilot was to New Orleans. At that time pilots and engineers were the only officers who were required to have licenses.
Speaking of his early days in the New Orleans trade, Mr. Hall said: "In the years just before and following the Civil war steamboats used to pay for themselves in one trip trading along the river.
"Most of the money was made on the freight. The owners of the boats running from St. Louis to New Orleans received $15 a head for carrying hogs between the two cities and $50 a head for cattle. The rates on dry goods, fruit and other things other than animals was usually by the pound and was correspondingly high. Passengers were the cheapest thing the boats carried. We only charged them $100 anpiece for the trip.
"One boat I piloted in the early days cost $30,000 to build and made $29,800 clear profit on the first trip. I know of many boats which more than paid for themselves in one trip." Mr. Hall has been a pilot on the Mississippi, Missouri, Red, Ohio and Tennessee rivers. Most of his experience, however, has been on the Mississippi. On the Missouri river he has been as far northwest as old Fort Benton, in Montana. Mr. Hall has spent practically his whole life on the river. He received his pilot's license when barely of age.
OLD LANDMARK IN PORTUGAL
Historic Tower of Belem May Be Seen by All Approaching the Capital.
Lisbon—Approaching Lisbon up the Tagues by steamboat the most striking object which the tourist sees is the square "Torre do Delem" (Tower of Bethlehem), which stands up boldly on the river's brink in such a position as to command the sea gateway to the city until the refinements of modern warfare. Now it is a picturesque relic of former stirring times. The Moors were the first to fortify the rocky point. The Moorish fortification was razed in the 15th century. The present edifice was completed in 1520 during the reign of King Emmanuel. Vasco de Gama embarked from Belem on his memorable voyage to India on July 8, 1497, and safely, disembarked at the same point on July 29, 1499. The spot was then called
Tower of Bethlehem.
"Hafro de Restello." A small chapel and mariners' home built by the Infante Dom Henrique stood there. The night before the start of their adventurous undertaking was spent by Vasco de Gama and his men in the chapel. They sat up watching and praying for success.
When Vasco do Gama came home with the good news of his passage around the Cape of Good Hope King Henry the Navigator was so filled with joy that he changed the name of the landing place from "Bairro de Restello" to Botheleham or (Belem). And he laid the corner stone of a cathedral there in the next year, 1500, amid imposing pomp.
Dinner Guests Represent Billion. Chicago.—When the foreign steel magnates sat down to a dinner the other night in the Blackstone hotel, Chicago, as guests of the United States Steel corporation, a curious person with a talent for research, was invited to dinner in the cathedral. It is the forlorners there were more than 100 guests from the American iron and Steel Institute. Altogether 100 dined at this elaborate宴席, but of course it was the favored few who presented this vast amount of capital.
Practical Fashions
