IN UNION DEEMS STRONG TWENTY-EIGHTH TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR. NO. 25. Odd Small Hats T 6 MILLINERY modes have run to the new and strange lately and the question of "what next" is asked with an anxious tone by those who must suit the caprice of fashion or lose in the business race. Just what next one up to this writing knows exactly, but of one thing we are fairly sure, and that is, a continuing vogue of small hats. We have come about as close to the bonnet as we are likely to get, and we will depart therefrom, when spring comes. But the small hat is here and will be here; for which all those who travel in street cars and ride in elevators or walk upon wind-swept streets, are duly thankful. Two types, as unlike as possible, are shown here. One is of the present mode, fitting like a bonnet and trimmed at the back with a big rosette of ribbon. This is an old development of the bonnet-turban style which is dear to the winter girl in many varying forms. This is a double coronet brim, a development of the turban, on lines familiar, in every community from one ocean to the other. The double coronet is by way of variety and the draping is very cleverly arranged by means of this peculiar frame. A precursor of new ideas is shown Fig. 1. Structure of the New Hatpin—Fig. 2. The Holder—Fig. 3. Manner of Arranging in Hat. A pointless hatpin with interchangeable heads has become popular in Paris. Having no point to protrude beyond the side of the hat, it is obvious that the pin will not endanger the eyes of other people. Each hatpin is in reality two pins with one head, the pin part sliding through a star-like fixture permanently attached to the hat. Heads of various designs are provided with each pin. Gold Used on China. The newest designs in china reveal a lavish use of gold, not only in the border of the dishes, but in large floral and conventional designs, and sometimes combined with the flowers, in colors, that may decorate a dish. The patterns for the most part are simple but striking. Among the designs carried out solely in the gold, the Oriental, the Greek and the Byzantine effects prodominate. The flowered china shows the graceful garland decoration of a happy use of trailing vines, with a heavy border effect. In shape, the fluted design—the flutings are widely separated—is being greatly used. A new ware has appeared which will no doubt be very popular in the odd pieces, such as sugar and creamer, chocolate sot or odd plates. THE GAZETTE 7 in the jaunty little helmet that with visor front. Brought forth in Paris and transplanted to New York, it is shown in the smartest of Fifth avenue shops. Worn at just a little angle one can see how widely it differs from the demure bonnet-like shapes. It is a simple looking piece of millinery, but will bear studying. The frame is covered with white satin and faced with black velvet. Piping cord finishes the brim edge and the velvet collar and flat bow at the front. This particular model is one of those bidding for favor and is a radical new departure. Whether "she will or she won't," is the all important question. My lady of fashion is ready for changes, but just what will please her restless fancy remains to be found out. Small, flexible hats are the most promising for street wear. They are commendable from the standpoint of comfort, but their correct adjustment will take care on the part of the wearers and a tendency to lose their original lines will have to be combatted. In felts and velvents, as in furs, the soft hats have body enough to remain shapely. They are without doubt the most successful of new things placed before the public. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. FASHIONS FOR LITTLE ONES In Profusion of Raiment the Rising Generation Is Not Far Behind Its Elders. Nowadays they cater just as much to the children in the matter of dress as they do to the grown-ups, and a glimpse into the children's department of our stores today would open the eyes of the most incredulous. Here will be found in the greatest profusion raiment for all ages and sizes, from the tintest tot just walking to the young lady about to make her bow to society, who realizes, however, that as yet there is a distinct line drawn between her gowns and those of her mother or elder sister. There is a charming litter of baskets on this season's dressing table for holding everything that a girl uses in making her toilette, from hatpins and pincushions to hair ribbons. A general but not exact uniformity in shape is preserved in the many sizes of baskets used in a girl's room, and a general style of decoration is carried out in colors that must match. Baskets for the dressing table are chosen with relation to their uses and supplemented with fat desk baskets that contain materials for correspondence and with baskets for sewing and for holding veils, hosiery, collars and neckties. For Evening Frocks. Bordered silk moussellines and gauzes with borders of plain orange, above which are floral borders, are made up into charming frocks with touches of black velvet to give them character, and there are other exquisite bordure stuffs in which the border is of Persian design, with orange the predominating color. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1911. SUMMARY OF A WEEK'S EVENTS Latest News of Interest Boiled Down for the Busy Man. PERSONAL. News has reached New York city that the duke of Vizeu (Prince Miguel of Braganza), who married Miss Anita Stewart, has found employment in a London stock broker's office. Capt. August W. Loose, the Brooklyn navigation expert who assisted Dr. Frederick A. Cook in preparing the observation by which the doctor hoped to prove that he reached the pole, has retired from his profession and will sail for Norway, his native land. At the final meeting of the delegates to the National Women's Council of Voters at Tacoma, Wash., it was decided to organize an advisory board, headed by Gov. J. H. Brady of Idaho. Women voters from the states of Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado met in Tacoma in a convention called by Governor Brady of Idaho. President Harry A. Garfield of Williams college, accompanied by Mrs. Garfield, has left on a southern and western trip. He will visit at least twenty southern and western institutions. Hou Te Wang, the first cueless Chinese diplomat ever seen in New York, is there on his way from Vienna to Tokyo. He will visit several western cities. The Imperial Order of Daughters of the Empire in the United States, of which Mrs. James Bryce, wife of the British ambassador, is honorary president, announces plans for the building of a home for aged British men and women in this country. GENERAL NEWS. Senator Nelson W. Aldrich's "plan for revision of national banking legislation," as he calls it, was made public at Washington. It does not contemplate the establishment of a central bank. Mr. Aldrich proposes the establishment and chartering of the "Reserve Association of America," with $300,000,000 capital, representing what might be called a federation of local associations formed by national banks. A scathing attack was made on the western railroads by Louis D. Brandeis in his argument before the interstate commerce commission at Washington against the proposed rate increase. He declared that the increase is unnecessary at this time and asserted that the railroads were raising rates to rob their patrons and pay dividends. Champ Clark and Joseph A. Bailley of Texas came into direct conflict at the big Democratic conference at Baltimore, and on the vital issue of the tariff. Clark unqualifiedly declared in favor of tariff revision by schedule. With equal insistence, Bailey demanded a straightforward and complete revision in one comprehensive measure. Governor Hay of Washington has been notified by Secretary of State Knox that the action of the Spokane council in passing an ordinance barring aliens from employment on public work is in conflict with a treaty between the United States and Italy. Mrs. T. M. Brooks, wife of an attorney, calmly walked into a crowded department stge at Fort Worth, Tex., and shot and killed Mrs. Mary Binford. The Callan automobile law, which provides that a person who runs down another with an automobile must stop and give his name and address, is unconstitutional, according to a ruling by Justice Crain in New York. Declaring that he is unable to support his family of four on a clergyman's salary, Rev. R. W. McLean of Mount Clemens, Mich., has decided to resign the pastorate of the First Baptist Church. In instructions to the grand jury at Danville, Ill., Circuit Judge E. R. E. Kimbrough referred to the indictments returned against vote sellers in Adams county, O., and to the demand by Danville newspapers and citizens that a remedy be provided for similar conditions in Danville. Two revolver shots were fired at Premier Briand in the French chamber of deputies, but he was unharmed. M. Mirman, director of public relief, was shot in the leg, but not seriously injured. The assassin is a man named Gisolme, who was formerly clerk of the courts of Bayonne. He is insane. Eight men met instantaneous death and one man was so horribly burned that he probably will die as a result of a boiler explosion aboard the battleship Delaware, while she was en route from Guantanamo, Cuba, to Hampton Roads, Va., during a blinding snowstorm. Bubonic plague has caused 600 deaths in Harbin, Manchuria, within fifteen days, according to consular reports received by the state department at Washington. The Fond du Lac (Wis.) Cheese and Butter company, capitalized for $100,000, has been forced to the wall. Oral arguments were concluded before the Supreme court in the proposed dissolution of the Standard Oil company. Attorney General Wickersham and John C Johnson, chief counsel for the oil corporation, were the final pleaders. A bill for the segregation of Asiatic pupils in the public schools of California was introduced in the state legislature by Assemblyman Hall (Dem.) of Bakersfield. That the practice of vote selling has been carried on in Danville, Ill., the home of Speaker Cannon, for many years, and by both parties, was the charge made here by the circuit court in its instructions to the grand jury. A man describing himself as Harry Miller, an American, twenty-eight years of age, was found bound to a tree in the woods near江ville-Pont, six miles east of Paris, France. He said robbers had tied him after taking $1,000 from him. This is the year for the seventeen-year locusts to appear. They are due along the Atlantic seaboard from Virginia to New York, but Dr. Raymond L. Ditmars, curator of the Bronx zoo, said that he believed the Hudson river would check the pest. The sixth annual National Western Live Stock show opened in Denver with a parade through the business section of the city. Prominent among the visitors is a party of Illinois, Missouri and Iowa packers and stock growers who arrived in two special sleepers as guests of one of the packing companies. Searchers recovered one of the six bodies supposed to be in the ruins of the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce building, destroyed by fire. It was that of Brent Marshall, vice-president of the Early & Daniels Grain company. Moving picture shows in Russia have become so popular that practically every town and hamlet throughout the empire battles at least one of these places of amusement, according to Consul-General John H. Snodgrass, at Moscow. William F. Sheehan was nominated by the Democratic caucus of the New York legislature for United States senator to succeed Chauncey M. Depew. United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge was renominated without opposition by the Massachusetts Republican legislature caucus. Prof. S. J. Hunter of the University of Kansas says the solution of the grasshopper problem is to disk the alfalfa fields in the spring, just after the frost has left the ground. This, he says, kills the eggs of the hoppers. The three daughters of Peter Bueber, aged one, four and six years, were burned to death in their home at Knife River, Minn., by the explosion of a gasoline store. Carl V. Storey, the former University of Illinois student, who was shot by Mrs. Alice Poehler of Guthle, Ind., in a hotel at Indianapolis, is dead and a charge of first-degree murder has been placed against the woman. It having been reported to the state department that President Cabrera of Guatemala has allowed armed bands to cross the frontier into Honduras to help destroy the government of President Davilla, Secretary Knox telegraphed the United States minister at Guatemala City that Guatemala must observe the agreement which provides against the aiding of one republic by filibusters from another republic. Emphatic endorsement of Capt. Robert E. Peary as the discoverer of the north pole was voiced by President Taft in a speech at the annual banquet of the National Geographic society at Washington. Constantine J. Erdman, author of the arbitration labor war, which has been called into play during several important strikes in the past ten years, died at his home at Allentown, Pa. A boy was killed and four persons were injured, two probably fatally, when a bobsled upon which the party was coasting struck a moving motor car on a street crossing in Kansas City. The battle for the senatorial succession in Tennessee will assume a new phase when Gen. Luke E. Wright of Memphis, former secretary of war and former general of the Philippines, enters the contest. Speaker Cannon came out loser in a new battle over the rules. As a result of the clash many of the stirring scenes of the famous fight of last March were re-enacted, Insurgents and Democrats showing a united front to the Republican regulars. By a vote of 145 to 126 the combined forces rallied to the support of Mr. Fitzgerald (Dem., N. Y.) and sustained him in his appeal from the speaker's ruling. Railroad communication throughout the republic of Portugal is practically paralyzed as a result of the strike of employees. Portugal is cut off by land from the rest of Europe. The application of Rear Admiral Edward B. Barry for retirement has been approved by President Taft, and Barry has been transferred to the retired list of the navy. But retirement will be no bar to a general court-martial or examination by medical experts, who may examine him as to his sanity. Renewal of the fight on Richard A. Ballinger, secretary of the interior, is contemplated in a resolution introduced by Senator Purcell of North Dakota. The resolution seeks to force out into the open the report of the joint congressional committee that investigated the charges made against the cabinet officer by Gifford Pinchot. Another serious battle between the Mexican revolutionists and the federal forces has been fought just across the border and the dead are estimated at more than forty, according to advices received at San Antonio, Tex. --- CADGING IS COMMON CLEVER CITY WOMAN CLEVER CITY WOMAN Lady of the Robes Is Title of Ingenious Worker. Simply Advises and Helps Rearrange Wardrobes of Rich and Poor—Those Who Must Economize Work Her Wits Hardest. Chicago.—"You say you want to make money? I'd pay you well to come and look over my wardrobe and advise me how to freshen it up and what to get. You've so many clever good ideas about dress and such ideas don't come naturally to me." "That's how my business started," explains a young woman who suddenly found herself in reduced circumstances. "The friend who gave me my first job was so enthusiastic over the help that I was to her that she talked me up to other women. They liked what I did for them and passed my name on to still others. So the ball kept on rolling, and now I've a regular clientele of women whose wardrobes I manage. "I don't know yet quite what to call myself. 'Lady of the Robes' my friends call me, but of course I've got to get a more businesslike name than that for my calling. The fact of the matter is that most women do not understand how to manage their wardrobe and I am able to help them. "When my patrons have plenty of money my task is not difficult. I look over the clothes that they have, talk with them about their plans for the coming season and tell them exactly what they need. I suggest the styles that I think will be becoming and the styles that I think it would be wiser for them to avoid. "I have to find out the peculiarities of each of my patrons and deal with them. Each patron is an individual study. I always put myself in the woman's place—try to become that woman, and considering her appearance, her pocketbook and her walk in life, advise her just what I should wish for myself were I she. "In some instances I have to use a lot of patience and tact, but in most I have no trouble at all, because the women are glad to have me help them. My deep interest, which fortunately is not assumed for trade's sake, pleases and flatters them. They've confidence that I've taken their interest to heart. "It is with the women who have to economize that I have to work my wits the hardest. My own experiences in economy help me here. It is these women who depend upon me most. They say that the money that they pay me for my pains is the best investment that they make. "One such woman when I went to her for my first visit was in despair. Accustomed to spend money as she pleased, she had suddenly had her dress allowance cut down. I begged her not to spend another cent until we had investigated all the clothes that she had, and not only all the clothes but all her boxes of ribbons, artificial flowers, pieces of satin, velvet, lace, etc. "She had everything spread before me. I found out exactly what she wanted to do through the summer and Number of Remittance Men Is on Increase as They Are Being Ship- London.—Is the "cadging" spirit—the desire to get something for nothing from somebody else—becoming increasingly common among Englishmen of all classes? A case at the West London police court, in which a housemaid was charged with stealing money (in order, it was ascertained, to give it to her sweetheart, a Scots guardman) gives rise to this question. Mr. Fordham, the magistrate, addressed some stern remarks to the Scots guardman, who was in court, on the meanness of this form of cadging. "This is a dirty, mean, scurvy thing," he said. "A meaner, more scurvy thing could not be. How a man, a creature, an animal calling himself, man could take money from a poor girl working as a housemaid I cannot understand. "In my view, you are simply a parasite animal creeping about and getting money anywhere you can. It is perfectly disgraceful, and if I saw my way to give you six months' hard labor I would be pleased to do it." According to opinions gathered from prominent business men, social reformers and others, the "cadging creature" is to be found in all walks of life, particularly amongst the upper classes. "The case of the guardman who would borrow money from a woman has its parallel in higher circles of society," said a well known city man. "The young, lazy, neer-do-well who is well educated, but lives on his friends and relations, practises just the same kind of meanness as this particular Scots guardsman. "His acts, however, are glided over by good manners and polish. He cadges money from his friends—he calls it a loan—but never intends to pay it back. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. WESTERN AUSTRALIA'S EL DORADO SACKING ORE AT THE BULLFINCH WESTERN Australia's newly discovered gold district, the center of which is the already famous Bullfinch mine, is attracting a great deal of attention and the Western Australia parliament has sanctioned the construction of a railway from Southern Cross to the mines. Mr. Doolette not long ago refused $2,500,000 for his share in the Bullfinch. A town site has been surveyed there and 64 blocks of this sold at public auction for $125,000. then I looked over all her things with an eye that she could not have for them, because she was too familiar with them and too discouraged over them. URBAN CENTER PLAN HAILED Proposal of Director Durand to Disregard Geographical Lines Would "I stayed in the room all afternoon and came back the next day for another long seance with her things. Then I went home and wrote out my scheme for her wardrobe. I took it to her the next day. I shall never forget her little cries of pleasure and relief. "Many of the clothes with just the right refreshing touch here and there could be made as up-to-date visions of beauty as they were when they were bought. I explained to her just when money must be spent at all. I showed her where the seamstress could help and the "little dressmaker", also the "little milliner", and just where she would have to resort to more competent help. She agreed to all I said, and in her new courage thought of many clever ideas herself. I watched over the growth of that summer wardrobe with all the pride of an artist. It turned out entirely satisfactory." FIREMAN WARNED OF WIRES Philadelphia Lecturer Believes That There is Still Life After Electrocution. Clifton Heights, Pa.-Prof. W. C. L. Eglen of Philadelphia addressed the Delaware County Firemen's association, in session in the auditorium of the Clifton Heights Fire Protective association, on the transmission of high-tension current and the dangers during fires. Prof. Eglen told the firemen how to rescue persons who may perhaps fall across live wires without the danger of self-injury. He also said that he believed that 90 per cent. of the men who are electrocuted could be saved if doctors would resort to artificial respiration for a long period. He also believed that if a man has received a heavy charge for no longer than three minutes that he can be restored. "The ultimate end of this caddig creature is that he is packed off to the colonies by his people, where he becomes a remittance man—a gentleman of leisure, who is paid by remittances sent out from home to 'keep away from home. "In South Africa, Australia and Canada the number of remittance men is always increasing. "Where does the fault lie? What is wrong with our system of education that it breeds such men? "In my opinion, there is too much softness and kindness in the public schools and home life of the present day. "Men who live on somebody else and complain that they 'do not know what to do with themselves' are the products of this gentle system of education." "There are various forms of caddig," said a West End clubman who is keenly interested in all social problems. "Men nowadays do not hesitate to accept presents in the form of cigars or wine from mere acquaintances. "Well to do men make a habit of caddig cigars and dinners, leaving you to pay the taxicab and performing other little acts of meanness. "Twenty years ago the spirit of English society was one of sturdy independence and insularity; today a lord will cadge cigarettes from another man." "The only method of exterminating the 'cadging creature' is a more rigorous, disciplined education for our British youth." "Women First. Please." Boston —"Women first, please," will be the softly spoken request of elevated train guards in Boston hereafter. Conspicuous signs bearing this polite request will be displayed in elevated stations. The courtesy crusade is the result of complaints that men and boys jump on the cars in the elevated tunnel and subway stations before they come to a stop. This deprives women of seats for which they wait. The company is going to stop the practice if politeness - all do it. WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

New York.—The proposal of the director of the census that in future publications on city population urban centers shall be used as the proper units instead of the arbitrary political divisions indicated by city boundary lines is one that appeals strongly to New York, for it gives hope of enabling the city to surpass London and to claim first place among all the cities of the world. Although this city has spread out almost evenly in all directions, its westward growth never has shown in the census returns because it has been beyond the boundary line of New Jersey. Under the new plan all the population in the urban area of each large city, as determined by the experts of the census bureau, would be credited to that city. This would add about a million to the present official population of Greater New York, giving it 5,800,000. While this would still be lower than the population of Greater London, which is now placed at nearly 7,000,000, the growth of New York is much more rapid, and if the present rates were maintained it would pass its European rival. Aside from the prestige of being the first city in the world, however, there is little to be gained by additions to the size of the city. Popular sentiment, in fact, seems to be against any considerable additions to the present administrative area. For the present, most persons hold the problems of giving the greater city proper government are difficult enough without further complications, but the plan of the census authorities, which would give the city credit for the population logically belonging to it without adding to its actual area, is regarded with favor. RIGS UP A WIRELESS PLANT Blind Boy Living In New York Receives Messages From Distance of 800 Miles. New York.—The handicap of blindness has failed to prevent John W. Ellis, a boy of 108 West Eighty-ninth street, from rigging up a wireless telegraph apparatus that makes it possible for him to hear the news of the world without leaving his room. As Ellis has been blind since his birth, it is a good deal easier to listen to what people say about things in general than it is to take the time to go over pages of raised and perforated lettering or have to ask friends to read aloud and let him know what is going on. "I have not talked with many operators as yet as my cells do not generate enough power to make the waves I send long enough. I have listened, however, to messages from Norfolk, Washing n and nearly all the other wireless stations from five to eight hundred miles away from New York. I receive the Marconi as well as the De Forrest systems." Ellis is now nineteen years old. He graduated from the Perkins Institution for the Blind in Boston, and has been declared a prodigy, so far as comprehension of electrical and mechanical problems was concerned. ITALY WILL USE WIRELESS Government Asks $100,000 for Network of Stations for Communication With Rome. Rome.—The government asked an appropriation of $100,000 to complete a network of wireless stations throughout Italy by which all points on the frontier and Italian coast will be able to communicate among themselves and with Rome. The last station is of such power as to be able to maintain communication with a man-of-war in any part of the Mediterranean. It is also arranged for these stations, which are chiefly for military purposes, to be open to private service so as to be not only a means of protection, but also as a public utility.

Our candidate for President, next year, is our great and good friend, Senator Foraker, the biggest and brainiest man in the Republican party—p. statesman indeed. Hawaiians have always refused to associate with American Negroes in this country. That is one reason, doubtless, why they objected so stronuously to the appointment of Charlie Cottrill of Toledo, as Collector of Internal Revenue at Honolulu, their principal port. Ever since the Republicans of Ohio permitted Senator Joseph Benson Foraker to be replaced in the U. S. Senate, one defeat after another has come to the party, until now Ohio democracy is in full control of the state. Even President Taft, who contributed all in his power to the Senator's defeat, has twice had to appeal to him—once last year and again, thus early this year. Tom Brown, quartermaster general of Texas 'Afro-American militia andporter in that state's Adjutant General's department, was "dropped" when the new Governor took office recently. The Swede who succeeded him, could not "make good" and Tom was reemployed. Ex-Gov. Campbell of that state tells why in the following brief statement: "Tom is the best penman in the state capitol and his services are required in all the departments at different intervals to do expert and fancy writing of different documents." Here is an object lesson for our people generally, and especially for our youth. Be the best in your line if you can. Make your services as indispensable as Tom Brown has done, and there will always be a good place somewhere for you. Congratulations, Mr. Brown. THEY ARE INTER-STATE CARRIERS. That railroads in Kentucky cannot be required to provide separate compartments in sleeping cars for Afro Americans and white passengers, was the decision of the Court of Appeals at Frankfort, recently, in the case of "The Commonwealth of Kentucky against the Illinois Central Railroad." The court held that inasmuch as the sleeping cars are not owned and controlled by the railroads and were interstate carriers, the state could not empower and compel the railroads to interfere with their operation. The state of Kentucky, therefore, is helpless in the matter—cannot compel the drawing of a color-line on the sleeping cars in Kentucky. On much the same ground can the "jimcrow" car laws of southern states be declared invalid and unconstitutional, at least as far as they effect inter-state passengers, if our people would only carry the matter properly to the U. S. Supreme Court. SEPARATE SCHOOLS FOR CHICAGO As a direct result of the recent successful movement in Chicago to establish a "jimcrow" Y. M. C. A., thus separating those Colored and white "Christians," prejudiced persons (whites) already have on foot a movement to separate the Colored and white children in Chicago's public schools. The following is from the Chicago Record-Herald of a few days ago: "At an indignation meeting of the Flushing (Chicago) Association held to investigate charges that young white children had been forced to dance with Negro boys in a public school, a committee was appointed tonight to investigate and if necessary ask summer school students to explain that a condition existed was made by Thomas Jefferson Burnett and caused many angry sneezes." No one believes for a moment, not even T. J. Burnett and his fellowmembers of that "Flushing Association" believe that young white girls were "forced" to dance with our boys in a public school anywhere in this country. They do know, however, that this is just the time to circulate such an injurious report—just when alleged Christians of Chicago are busy establishing a separate or "jincrow" Y. M. C. A. Why not separate schools also, and on the same grounds, they argue, and in order to clinch their argument, caused to be published in Chicago's leading daily papers the transparent story (on its very face) that young white girls are "forced" to dance with Negro boys in the present mixed schools of that city! They know full well that the time is ripe, and that if the damaging story can be seared into the minds of enough of Chicago's white population through the medium of that city's ever-willing daily press, the separation is bound to come, almost as quickly as have the funds for a separate or "jincrow" Y. M. C. A. for that city. Meantime the easily focked, short-sighted, selfish and truckling Negroes of that city, many of whom should better, are howling with delight over the success of the move- ment looking to the establishing of a "jimcrow" Y. M. C. A., which is but the "entering wedge" of prejudiced Chicagoans who wish separate schools and many other color-lines that cause innumerable denials of Afro-Americans' citizen-rights and privileges in public places, etc. O Lord! will these alleged intelligent people of ours ever see before it is too late? Anent the Chicago Record-Herald clipping republished above, a white friend in Chicago, "Ben Achar," writes The Gazette as follows: "The democratic principle of education does not seem to have entered into the heads of those whites who believe in aristocracy. Nor does it appear that the very fundamental of the Christian faith has been understood by them. Surely, we as an organization are so sorely in need of Christianization and enlightenment at home, that it is a foolish act to waste time, money, good will and energy in sending out missionaries to the heathen and backward ones in foreign lands!" THE "UMCROW" X M In all cities having "jimcrow" Y. M. C. A. is, Afro-Americans only are made Parishs of and barred from all other Y. M. C. A. buildings in the same city or town. This is not true in the case of any other class of people but ours. The better class of our people of this city can continue to remain quiet, if they will, and let the "jimcrow" Negroes who have come among us in more recent years, lower the high standard set and maintained so many years and at such great cost of money, time and effort, and of which all Cleveland has up to date boasted and has been so proud, and establish here a "jimcrow" Y. M. C. A. for their children, but in the end they will rite it just so surely as they live to see the miserable thing established. If we cannot have Y. M. C. A. privileges free from the color line we had better not have any. As a matter of fact the few remaining Afro-American members of the Central Y. M. C. A. can be multiplied with far less effort than it will require to establish a branch or a "jimcrow" Y. M. C. A. in the section of Cleveland most thickly populated by our people, especially in view of the fact that the new central building of the organization in the southeast corner of Prospect Ave, and E. 22d St, right in the heart of the section referred to. Those Negroes who insist "on flocking to themselves" because they fear general contact with other classes of people, and who in late years have located in northern cities, have given greater impetus to "jimcrowing" our people in this section, than our enemies among the other classes. Their incessant clamor for separate or "jimcrow" Y. M. C. A. is, as a rule followed by one for separate schools, then come separate or "jimcrow" street and railroad cars. This encourages our prejudiced enemies to increase the discrimination in all public places of entertainment, amusement, conveyance, etc., until the logical and natural result will be what Dr. Booker T. Washington urges a separation of the races such as now exists in the South. Do you want that condition here in the North? Isn't it bad enough, now, as it is? Hadn't we better be trying to wipe out colors, rather than be trying to multiply them—and here in Cleveland, too, a part of the grand "old western reserve"? Shall we sit supinely by and let a few selfish, cindyim "jimcrow" Negroes whose life in the South or Southern environment, makes it impossible for them to appreciate what the older Afro-Americans of Cleveland and this vicinity have enjoyed for so very many years, wipe out all of the remaining advance our parents and their true white friends fought so long and so hard to secure? What has come over our older residents and their children that they sit still and remain inactive with so great a peril to our citizen privileges and rights, threatening? Are they, too, cowardly, or have they become converts to Dr. Washington's "doctrine of surrender"? If this latter be true then indeed is the outlook for the race in this country, black and gloomy indeed. We do not believe it; we cannot believe it! No other race in this country, not even the Jews, would quietly consent to such separation, such shoving aside, and lowering of manhood and womanhood in the estimation of all other classes. It is wrong in principle, it is contrary to the true American spirit, it is the desire of the prejudiced, South and North, and the "jimcrow" Negro. It is not only insulting and humiliating but almost criminal, to so force a people, Americans if you please, numbering eight million or more, nearly one-eighth of the entire population of this country, from its proper plane of life, and too, in the country of their birth, a country they helped to make and have materially helped to save on three different oc- Though Innocent, Serves 13 Years. Columbus, O.—William Hopper of Cincinnati, committed for attacking an adopted daughter, has served 13 years in the penitentiary as penalty for a crime he did not commit, according to testimony presented to the state board of pardons on the day he was sentenced.

Baldwin, a wealthy capitalist of Dayton, has recently established factories where Afro-Americans are employed in which are manufactured carpets, overalls, and brooms.

Up in British Columbia, a correspondent of the London Times writes of the scare that the Japanese immigrants are throwing into native workers. This writer states that the "whole white population of British Columbia is favorable to the rigid limitation or the immigrant immigration of the legal immigrant们的." Indeed! But I noticed the Canadians raised no objection to the English workers going over to Sweden to scab during the last great strike there. Funny; but, it makes all the difference whose ox is gored. Capitalist conditions makes immigration just as certain as that steamships travel, and then the poor are forced to go to the same, the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Co has asked the Provincial and Federal governments for permission to bring in 10,000 or 20,000 Asiatics to build the mountain section of their road.

Saturday night week it lacked $6,500 of being completed. The following Sunday and Monday netted enough to make the amount $66,026.93. The Central (white) Y. M. C.

Oblige the Editor. Cruel Old Laws. England's present King George is spared the mental torture experienced by the earlier George by reason of the numerous cases of capital punishment for which they had to sign warrants, says the London Chronicle. Of George III., for example, it is said that he kept a register of all the cases of capital punishment—it was then a capital offense to open without authority a letter addressed to another—that he entered in It the names of all felons sentenced to death, with dates and particulars of convictions, together with remarks upon the reasons which induced him to sign the warrants. It is also recorded that he frequently got up at night to peruse the fatal list, and that he shut himself up closely in his private rooms during the hours appointed for the execution of criminals. No wonder he went mad. Story of a Cabinet The Swedish consul at Marseilles has received a modest but interesting memento in the form of a cabinet for papers for transmission to King Gustav V., says the London Globe. The history of the cabinet is interesting. It is made of juniper wood, and the tree was supposed to be a thousand years old when it was felled. It had grown on an estate near Marseilles which had belonged to the Clary family. One of the daughters married Bernadotte, the founder of the royal house of Sweden. Bonaparte, it is said, used to enjoy sitting under this tree. Some time before the death of Oscar II, the present king visited the home of his ancestors and expressed a desire to possess some souvenir of the place, and the cabinet is the outcome of that wish. Rater Hated Serpents. Water Pater figures so seldom in biography that the following glimpse of the solitary scholar, quoted by the San Francisco Argonaut, is specially interesting: "During dinner a guest asked to see a necklace I was wearing. It was in the form of a serpent made of silver wire defy interwoven to resemble scales and to make it sinuous and supple. I unfastened the serpent and as I handed it to Mr. Pater, who was nearest me, it writhed in a lifelike manner, and he drew back his hands with a slight movement of dislike. In a flash I remembered the passage in 'Marius the Epicurean' in which the hero's dislike to serpents is so vividly described, and I realized the description to be autobiographic."

The social given Tuesday evening by the "Eastern Stars" No. 9, at Mrs. T. Chishawli 2247 E. 39th St., was a very pleasant affair and well attended. The ladies served an excellent supper. The musical program was good. Mr. Jenkins of E. 43rd St. played several pretty selections on the auto-harp. The Misses Cora and Emma Fields, Alta Moss and Mrs. E. Seelig rendered pleasing selections. Mrs. H. Anderson entertained recently, at dinner, at Mrs. Wm. Coleman's, 10602 Hudson Ave., in honor of her daughter's birthday. Covers were laid for eight. Mr. and Mrs. W. Coleman, C. Green Mr. and Mrs. Coleman were the honored guests. Mr. and Mrs. Coleman entertained whist party in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Hammond of Chillicothe, recently. Mr. John Brown, one of our oldest residents, died Saturday morning at Mrs. Drayton's Central院, near the campus, in years' memory, conducted a barber shop on Detroit St., west side, and was one of the best known members of the race in the city. In recent years he made his home with Mrs. Louise Holden of E 30th St., until her death, early last year. Special services were held at Mt. Zion church, Sunday morning and evening, Mr. and Mrs. Sturgis, who sang several pieces of Evangelical work in the morning, and Rev.

Every line in a newspaper costs the proprietor something. If it is for the benefit of the individual alone, it should be paid for. If the grocery was asked to contribute groceries to one household, a table payable to the he would refuse. The proprietor of a newspaper must pay for the free advertising, if the beneficiary does not; but it is one of the hardest things to be learned by many that a newspaper has space to rent and must rent to live. To give anything for less than less than is as fatal to a newspaper as for the landlord to furnish rent free—Ex. Dr. Arthur S. Scott writes The Gazette as follows: "Conceived in spirit of racial exclusiveness, fostering no ethnic antagonism, but born of the exigencies of American environment, the Cleveland Association of Colored Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists was recently organized. Its main object is the banding to together for mutual co-operation and helpfulness the men and women of the race who are legally and honorably engaged in the practice of the medicine, surgery, dentistry and pharmacy, in the city of Cleveland. Those identified with the association are: Drs. Dale Philen, Biggs, Johnson, Lawrence Howard and Scott. Dr. Ellis A. Dale is president and Dr. Arthur S. Scott, secretary of the organization." The Washington, D. C., correspondent of the Indianapolis Freeman, wrote the following of local interest, last week: "Herbert D. Myers, formerly of Cleveland, O., now connected with the Howard Theater, gave a box party last Thursday matinee in honor of the late Dr. Robert C. Land, at the Howard. The members of the party were Miss Dorothy Chessnut, Prof. Washington of Howard University, Miss Mabel Tunnel, Cedric Francis, Miss Corinne Arbure, Arthur Tunnel, Miss Stella Arlington, Herbert Myers and Mrs. Edward C. Williams, the latter acting as chaperone, After the matinee the party pooked of a delightful luncheon at Martin's cafe, which was followed by a short dinner, which was furnished by the Howard Orchestra." Herbert is Gec. A Myers's son. Through the efforts of Mrs. Alberta Wills, assisted by Mdesames E. Daw, L. J. Seelig, J. Arnold, W. Blue, L. G. Adkins and J. E. Reed, a delightful surprise was given the aged people of the Old Folks' Home Friday evening, the ladies prepared an elaborate luncheon, which was served at 6 o'clock. The table was beautifully decorated with several potted plants and cut flowers, donated by the Kirchner Bros., florists, and the delicious ice cream also donated by Mr. De Klyn, caterer. The remaining of the guests were intrigued and recitations. Miss Ruth Daw sang very sweetly and Master Walt Willes and Reed Todd gave excellent recitations. Mrs.aria Sellers, president of the Old Folks' Home, made quite an interesting speech and on behalf of the old ladies and gentlemen and thanked for the ladies for the treat. Phonetically. Upon a certain occasion General Sherman was a guest of honor at a banquet, after which a reception was held. Among other people who filed in to shake hands with him, General Sherman noticed a face that was very familiar, but which he could not place. "Who are you?" he asked in an apologetic aside, as he welcomed the guest heartily. The man blushed and murmured behind deceptive hand: "Made your shirts, sir." "Ah, of course," exclaimed the general loudly, and, turning to the receiving committee behind him, he said: "Gentlemen, allow me to present Major Shurtz."

The material is soft to the touch and pliable in the extreme and when soiled has only to be placed in a fire to be made absolutely clean Eagles in England Eagles in England are protected, and a young fellow gets seven days for robbing a nest on the famous Craiglachillie Rock at Aviemore. While the old eagle was away one of her two young was taken and kept as a pet for three months, but the bird ate two rabbits a day, so it was sold as too expensive, and the sheriff got wise. Curious Toy. A curious toy which is common in Europe and less known in this country is very popular in China, Korea and Japan. It represents a round figure with a head but without arms and legs. This is really, in its origin, a figure of Daruma, the priest who sat wrapped in a state of abstraction until his limbs disappeared. Ready to Be Surprised.

The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO."

The 'monuments in question are statues to national heroes, for which the congress of the United States made provision by appropriating years ago the money needed as a purchase price and which have since been in the making in the studios of eminent sculptors. One statue that was recently added to our national collection at our capital city is the memorial to Baron Steuben, the German officer who UNVEILING THE NEW CHERIDAN MONUMENT helped this nation to independence during the Revolution. An even more important statue is the splendid one to Gen. U. S. Grant, which will cost, when completed, about a quarter of a million dollars. Then there will be new statues to such naval heroes as Commodore Barry and John Paul Jones and a statue to Christopher Columbus as a part of a mammoth memorial fountain. Time was, and not so very long ago, either, when the prospect of having to conduct this series of statue unveilings would have put on the keen edge of uneasiness those public officials whose duty it is to look after such functions. Our federal authorities have long been accustomed to conducting formal ceremonies of all kinds—state or military funerals, parades, etc.—but for years a statue unveiling had the reputation of being about the most difficult spectacle to conduct that could be devised. For one thing, it combined all the difficulties of a parade and a mass meeting. The president of the United States almost invariably participates in every unveiling, and that means problems of its own. And finally, it seemed in the light of bitter experience as though there was always some mishap or slip up that marred more or less the actual unveiling, that is, the removal of the coverings which have until the eventful day shrouded the statue and screened it from the gaze of a curious public. But these uncertainties of bygone Do Animals Reason? F ANIMALS don't reason out the whys and wherefores of things and act accordingly," said Col. Hamp Stone of the Big Thicket country, Texas, "what was that big buck that I didn't shoot doing that time down Devil's mountain way? "They had put the dogs out, and I was to get to a bull pine tree on the east bank of the river, at a place where they said the dogs would be apt to send a deer into and across the stream, giving me a fine chance for a successful shot. Before I got there I heard the dogs baying off on the west side of the river, which was about 300 yards wide there. "I was still quite a way from the tree when a doe came in sight on the opposite shore, jumped into the river, swam across and bounded away into the woods away from me. The dogs were still yelping off in the woods across the river, and not yet in sight. I made a few big strides and got to the tree, as I didn't know what might be ahead of the dogs yet, just as out of the opening where the doe had leaped and taken the water bounded a big buck. "I dropped behind the tree, expecting the buck to come on across. The doe had run out on a tongue of land that extended into the river about 20 feet, and from the extremity of that bit of land had jumped into the water. Supposing, of course, that the buck would seek the same course, I was ready to let him have it as soon as he pulled himself out on my side of the river, but he had other ideas. "The dogs hadn't broken from cover yet. I could hear them coming not far behind the buck. Two or three rods from the shore, on that side of the river and the same distance below the tongue of land, was a big rock that rose perhaps eight feet above the water." "Instead of coming on as the doe Learned Value of Money Mere Is a Valuable Hint for Those Who Are Careless in Its Expenditure. My sister had the faculty of spending money and of having something to show for it. a had the ability to disburse my equal allowance and to have little or nothing left to show whether it had gone. It was annoying and even embarrassing. I determined to place a check upon the use. O I TYPICAL SCENE AT AN UNVEILING days are now, happily, a thing of the past. Government officials, spurred by the chagrin of unsuccessful unveilings, have perfected a system which enables the present-day unveiling to proceed like clockwork. There has finally been evolved a definite fixed routine just as there is a set of hard and fast rules for inaugurating a president or conducting a military or naval funeral and the federal experts who make a business of these public shows could almost conduct one with their eyes shut, so to speak. Much of the credit for the system and routine that has been introduced in statue unveiling belongs to Col. Frederick D. Owen. On the federal payroll Col. Owen appears as one of the officials of the office of public buildings and grounds, but unofficially he is known—at least "behind the scenes" at Washington—as Uncle Sam's professional and expert master of ceremonies with statue unveilings as his specialty. Col. Owen has this whole complicated subject at his finger tips and he personally supervises the arrangements from the day they begin to build the foundation for a new statue until the lawn around the pedestal is sodded after the spectacle is all over. He knows just how many flags will be required for the decorations and where to lay hands upon them; he knows where the saluting battery must be stationed in order that the boom of their guns may sound loud enough and yet not too loud; he knows where to place the president's had, the buck took his leap from where the bar joined the mainland, dropped quickly down alongside the rock, hugging it close with his head up stream. There he remained motionless entirely hidden from anything on the side from which he had come. "The buck had scarcely got into that position when the dogs came dashing out of the woods. They followed the doe's trail to the tip of the bar, plunged into the water and swum toward the opening on my side of the river where the doe had landed and bounded away. "The buck lay against the side of the rock as motionless as the rock itself until the dogs got well into the middle of the river with their noses pointed in the direction in which the doe had gone. Then he backed down to the lower end of the rock and passed around it to the other side of it, thus hiding himself against possible chance of being seen by the dogs when they landed on the opposite bank. "The dogs landed and went bawling off on the dog's track. As the last sound of the dogs died away the buck's head came slowly in sight at the upper end of the rock, until at last the wary deer was peering across the river to see if the coast was clear. Satisfied that it was, the buck swam boldly back to the bar, drew himself out on land, threw up his head scornfully as he gave one glance in the direction the dogs had gone and then bounded back into the woods out of which he had been driven to save himself by that remarkable bit of strategy and disappeared. "I could have dropped him in his tracks as he stood there in his scornful pose, but after witnessing that act of almost human ingenuity, I hadn't the heart to do it. Animals don't reason out the whys and whereofes of things and act accordingly? What was that buck doing then? less leaks which sapped my financial strength. I purchased a neat little leather covered book which would fit into my purse, and every cent expended was honestly noted down. At the end of the week I went carefully over this accumulated list of expenses, and opposite those which I decided were necessary I placed a tiny circle, opposite those that were entirely unnecessary I placed a cross, THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1911. own—the U. S. Marine Band and the chorus of vocalists if there is to be one. Most important of all, he knows where to seat each and every one of the hundreds of digitaries who attend such a ceremonial. It will be understood that it is not merely a question either of seating celebrities so that they will be comfortable and have an unobstructed view of the ceremonies. In addition to such considerations are the more important ones of the rank of each spectator and the honors and position to which he is entitled in consequence. The man who conducts a big unveiling ceremony in Washington must know "who is who" and "who goes first" just as accurately as the men who manage the president's receptions at the White House. "Yes, we got the doe. One of our party brought her down two miles up the river as she was taking the water to cross back again, still way ahead of the dogs." Graft in Selling Eggs To one who can afford them, good eggs are cheap at any price, but investigation shows that much of the extra money that the consumer pays to avoid the risk of getting a bad egg for this breakfast is simply the dealer's charge upon the consumer's ignorance. While investigating the subject for the department of agriculture it was learned that a farmer in New York city was buying Iowa eggs for 20 cents and selling them under his private brand name for 40 cents. The grocers across the street were selling the same eggs for 25 cents. The extra 15 cents was pure graft, made possible by the merchant's gall and the customer's gullibility. Inventive Parent Woodbury—I noticed that Knewpop had electric lights put on his lawn last summer. Seaforth—Yes, and he also had a baby sling put on his lawn mower. He figured, if his baby was wakeful, so he would have to walk with it, he might as well push his lawn mower and cut the grass at the same time. I have often seen him come from the house at midnight, turn on the lights, put the baby in the sling and start out on the double job—Chicago Daily News. Modernizing the Klondike In the Klondike steam, hot air and hot water plants are displacing the old-fashioned wood stoves, especially in hotels and the bigger trading places. Naturally. "So you have lost your cook?" "She's dead." "Did she die a natural death?" "Yes, the natural death for a person that starts a fire with kerosene." and opposite those which were of no particular advantage and could as well have been dispensed with I placed a small rectangle. The first week I was honest enough to acknowledge that almost every expenditure called for a cross. The next week the rectangles predominated, and after that the circles began to grow more numerous—and needless to say the items were fewer. I learned why my sister could always have ready money and yet be well dressed. MAID OF SARAGOSSA MAID OF SARAGOSSA Was the Spanish Heroine of a World-Famous Siege. Her Brilliant Part in a Military Event Which Has Few Parallels in History—Honored by a Grateful Country. Madrid, Spain.—Every country in the world has its heronies as well as its heroes, and its heronies of war as well as those of peace. While Molly Pitcher, who during the revolutionary war operated her husband's cannon when he was stricken down, is justly famous in American annals and celebrated in prose and verse, the Mald of Saragossa is even more renowned in her native country, Spain. While Palafox was the hero, she was incomparably the heroine of the siege of Saragossa, one of the most desperate in modern history and equally daring, offensively and defensively. For her brilliant services Spain made her a lieutenant in the army and bestowed upon her many decorations. Her name was Augustina and as a girl she was a peddler of cool drinks in the city. From the beginning to the end of the siege she was ever in the heat of conflict and her courage and daring served to hearten the gallant defenders in the darkest hours of those bloody months. She won the name La Artilleria from having snatched the match from the hands of a dying gunner and discharged the piece at the invaders. She died in Cueta, Spain, in 1857, at a very advanced age. The siege of Saragossa, in which the maid distinguished herself, was conducted by the French in 1808-09, during the peninsular war. Saragossa was one of the cities that blocked the success of Napoleon's marshals in subduing all Spain. On June 15, 1808, the French invested it with a force of 10,000 men. Its defender was Joseph Palafox, a youth without military experience, but who had sense enough to associate with himself men of martial training and courage. But while inexperienced in war, he had the heart of the warrior, and when the French general summoned him to surrender, Palafox returned the immortal reply: "War to the knife and the knife to the hilt." The Spaniards made a gallant defense of the city, worsting the French in many a bloody encounter and check- Monument to Saragossa Maid. ing their every advance. Finally on August 4, after a fierce cannonading, the French stormed the place and forced their way through the walls. Then followed a week of most desperate fighting, carried on in the streets and from house to house; and the French troops, brave as they were and admirably led and equipped, were forced to retreat and raise the sledge. Palafox and his men at once began making preparations for the second sledge which they knew would come. On December 20 a French army of 40,000 picked soldiers under Marshals Moncey and Mortier encamped before the walls and at once began a vigorous prosecution of the sledge. Finally the French were successful at all points and the city wall for one-third its length was captured. The convents and churches commanding it fell into the hands of the besiegers. But though the wall of the town was in possession of the beslegers their troubles were only really beginning. Every house, every street, in the city was a stronghold in itself. The French resorted to mining and literally blasted their way into the city. But they were met with dauntless courage at every turn. Pestilence long before had broken out among the defenders, but though they were dying by the hundreds every day from disease and bullets they never faltered. On February 18 a grand assault was made by the beslegers. The city was on fire in a dozen places and the dead lay unburied in the streets. But the Spartards were unyielding. The hopelessness of the struggle had now, however, become apparent to the Spaniards and the city was surrendered. The garrison, reduced to 12,000 men, were accorded all the honors of war. During the siege 60,000 persons perished, most of them by disease. Palafox, the brave defender, in violation of the terms of capitulation, was sent as a prisoner to Vincennes in France. Later he returned to Spain, became prominent in its political affairs, was created duke of Saragossa and died in 1847—ten years before the passing away of the Mald of Saragossa Not long since a handsome statue was erected to the Mald of Saragossa in the city which her valor helped to defend and this memorial will hand down to future generations the story of her courage and herolism. Tuning the Bells. Troy, N. Y. The general impression is that the tone of a bell is largely a matter of accident, but this is not so. A bell must be tuned the same as a piano or any other musical instrument. Every bell has five sounds, which must blend together in perfect harmony, and this is accomplished by shaving down certain parts until the desired harmony is secured. In the event of shaving too deep the bell is not injured, but the tuning operation is prolonged, as other parts must be operated on and cut away to a corresponding degree.

San Jose, Cal. — It is possible that there are people compelled to live in city boarding houses who will not think that the man who introduced prunes into American deserves to rank as a public servant. Whatever the "boarders" may think about it, it is certain that boarding house keepers will regard him as one of the great men of the past century. In that opinion California orchardists will heartily concur, as he was the pioneer in an industry that now represents an investment of more than $50,000,000 in improved orchard land, equipment and packing plants, and pays large dividends on every dollar. The first prune trees ever planted in California were imported from France and planted in the grounds of the Pellier nur- First Prune Farm. sery, in San Jose, In the year 1863. Mr. Pellier has long been dead, but his old home is still standing, and ought to be regarded as a sacred landmark by all purveyors and consumers of prunes. The old frame house is now the center of 100,000 acres of prune orchards, grouping in the Santa Clara valley. Not far from 10,000,000 prune trees grow in the valley. In comparison with these figures, the prune orchards of France, Spain, Germany, Austria, Servia and other prune-growing countries are hardly worthy of mention. California now dominates the world's prune trade, not only supplying the markets of the United States, but exporting millions of pounds annually. ODD NAMES OF THE OZARKS Designation of Towns in a Missouri County Either Very Purposeful' or Very Purposeless. Kansas City, Mo.—Whether Imagination or lack of it is more evident in the names of Ozark towns might be debated. But there would be no dispute about the fact that the result is something unusual. Hack writers who delight in putting proper names together in foolish sentences would find a long journey in the Ozark region as full of delightful possibilities as a walk in a diamond field. With what enthusiasm would they string together something like this: "If he is clever, the Fowler in the Timber may Dent a Zebra; if Not that his Blue Eye may fill with Joy to find Lamb and Pease on the same Trail. Though Fate be Barren, if he's Witty he may Bluff and say the Ark holds yet a Rat, a Swan and Birdsong from the Congo. And Manysprings, and a Rill Diggins, Gold and Pleasant Hope, perhaps are Only about Halfway to Evening Shade. And so—Goodnight." In a single county of Missouri this large collection of the literal label is shown: Rat, Ink, Gang, Alley, Timber, Horse, Hollow, Sinkin, Birch Tree, Timber and Low Wassle. More imaginative, perhaps, are Not and Congo. Mountain View represents • SINKIN • RAT • • INK • HORSE HOLLOW • GANG SHANNON ALLEY • COUNTY • BIRCH TREE • MOUNTAIN VIEW • NOT Map of Shannon County, Mo. the humorous department, for it is in a hollow where there is neither view nor mountain. For shortness of name, the region is no less remarkable, with such types as Hy, All, Lon, Job, Arp, Apo, Coy, Day, Bly, Van, Igo, Abo and Roe. Sometimes the traveler may have a suspicion that the towns have been named after the fashion that the Indians label their children. There are such examples as Coin, Groom, Notch and Flag. Sometimes the labels are poetic and alluring—Shadygrove, Birdsong and Romance—and again they are as far in the other direction as Kiddos Spur, Hughes Stone Quarry, Hanks and Smittle. For those who know Latin, Bona is a good name for a town, though Dagonia and Protem may see Radical. Cost of Stopping a Train Chicago.—According to Signal Engineer J. A. Peabody, of the Chicago & Northwestern railway, who investigated the matter on his own line, the cost of stopping a train of 530 tons and returning to a speed of 50 miles an hour is 42 cents. The cost of stopping a 2,000-ton train from 35 miles an hour is $1. The officials of another road estimate each stop of a six-car passenger train from 45 miles an hour at 35 cents and for a 1,500-ton train from 15 miles an hour at 56 cents. The time lost for making a stop on a level, straight track has been estimated at 145 seconds. FOOD A LA TABLOID FOOD A LA TABLOID New First-Aid-to-the-Hungry Ration for Army. Twenty-Four Hours' Meals All Packed in a Can About the Size of a Cake of Kitchen Soap. Washington.—A half pound of grub a day for a hard-worked soldier sweating in the trenches! Dinner, two and two-thirds ounces after a forced march, when he is footsore and weary! Twenty-four hours' meals, all packed snugly in a tiny can, about as big as Bridget's slab of kitchen soap! Such is the invention of Gen. Henry G. Sharpe, commissary general of Uncle Sam's army—the busy officer who thrice daily fed the 83,000 hungry mouths of our soldier boys. He is the first inventor you ever heard of who hopes that there will never be any demand for the prize fruit of his genius. And this is because this invention is an "emergency ration," whose use would mean, in the first place, war—which General Sherman rightly defined as "hell"—and, in the second place, an unfortunate emergency of war resulting from a cutting off of the supplies of an army in the field. The sky-blue can, which holds an emergency breakfast, dinner and supper, all within its tiny shell, is four and three-quarter inches long, less than three inches broad, and an inch and a quarter thick. You can wear one in your hip pocket without arousing the least suspicion that you are bearing refreshments less proper and polite. War breaks out, say, with the Japs, the Germans, or the almost British.

Then each boy in drab. squatting by the good camp fire, grabs the loose end of the blue bandeau enwreathing the head of his can and gives her a twist. It works after the principle of the blue bandeau the fragrant sardine can—only it really works. From the package fall three slabs of something very like the brown cakes of chocolate that small children buy from train butchers and with which they delight to crumb up the plush seats of the passenger coaches. The hungry soldier may draw but one slab. From this he removes the tightly-pressed wrapper of figured foil, and so he sits down to supper. The other two cakes must be put back in the can and saved, one for tomorrow's breakfast and the other for tomorrow's dinner, if need be. If his palate does not take to his compact meal in this dry form he can, with knife or bayonet, scrape his slab over his tin cup and boil the scrapings three minutes in the cupful of water, thus brewing a hot beverage, which, in chilly weather, would undoubtedly be preferred to the cold, dry fodder. It tastes much like the popular brands of milk chocolate, but not so sweet. Chocolate—which French tourists have long esteemed as an emergency travel ration—is the base of the compound. The exact constituents are: Per cent. Chocolate liquor 47.17 Nucleo casin 6.88 Malted milk 6.88 Desiccated eggs 20.64 Sugar 13.76 Cocoa butter 3.66 Moisture (not over) 3.62 Thus you have about the most nutritious foods that nature affords—milk, eggs, chocolate, malt and sugar—deprived of water and other unnecessary portions, the whole mixed together and pressed into cakes so dry that less than one-twenty-fifth part of them moisture. Avilators, aeronauts, campers, hunters and explorers—to whom news of it lately leaked out in some way—are already writing to Washington to learn where they can obtain these little cans. The birdman, finding himself landed in some isolated desert waste or forest fastness, miles and miles away from the nearest habitation, would look well upon a pound or two of this stuff distributed among his pockets. What We Did for Mexico. New Orleans, La.—The mosquitoes of Yucatan are the largest in the world and 10 times more voracious than even the Jersey mosquito. Until a few years ago they were unknown in Mexico, but were brought there by ships from the United States and have prospered to an alarming extent in the land of their adoption. Practical Fashions 5264 The charming bodices cut in peasant style are in the lead for fashion at present. The example which we illustrate is simple, yet in the latest mode. It will be found more advantageous in cutting than any other designs because of the seam on the outside of the sleeve, running to the neck. This allows the waist to be cut from quite narrow materials, as only a quarter of it need be in each piece, instead of half as in most instances. By outlining the neck and seams with a contrasting material, as shown in the illustration, a very effective waist will result. The silks which are printed in floral and Persian patterns are most in vogue for these waists, but instead of these pretty patterned chevots and plain weaves of serge and other light materials may be used in making. The pattern (5264) can be cut in sizes 32 to 42 inches bust measure. Medium size requires $1\%$ yards of 44 inch material, with $1/2$ yard of 24 inch contrasting fabric to trim as represented. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to "Pattern Department," of this paper. Write name and address plainly, and be sure to give size and number of pattern. NO. 5264. SIZE..... NAME..... TOWN.....

BOY'S DOUBLE BREASTED OVER- COAT. 4706 The more simple a boy's clothes are the better he will like them, and outer garments in particular should be made just like a man's. The design shown in the illustration is of the plainest variety of overcoat. The fronts of the garment are double breasted and the neck is furnished with a small turnover collar and sharply pointed revers. The sleeves are entirely without fullness, even at the shoulder and regulation pockets complete the coat. For such a garment as this we would advise the use of some thick material, such as melton, kersey, or diagonal. It is also suitable for covert cloth for spring wear or for moderate climates. The pattern (4708) is cut in sizes 2 to 8 years. Medium size requires 1% yards of 54 inch material. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to "Pattern Department," of this paper.

Because in a dream a voice seemed to tell her to go to the river and under a big willow tree she would find an engagement ring lost a year ago last summer, Miss Annabel Evans of Philadelphia obeyed the mysterious mandate and went to a big willow. After searching around the foot of the tree for 15 or 20 minutes she found the ring buried almost out of sight in the dirt. The young woman decided that she must have lost the ring while jumping out of a rowboat, although at the time of its disappearance she suspected a servant of stealing it. Due a Jolt. "So you are going to get married, eh?" "Yes, the longing for a little home where I can put my feet against the wall, brace my chair back and smoke my pipe in comfort got to be too much for me." "That's a beautiful dream!" "Isn't it?" "So beautiful that it will be a shame for you to get married and spoil it."
